THE FUTURE OF INDIA: ROOTED IN ITS OWN SOIL

The author of this article is well aware of the fact that he is not an astrologer to make predictions on the future of a state which, among other things, depends on factors that are beyond the control of human beings. Equally he is not unaware of the fact that the development of man through ages, that we call as history, has been brought about by great ideas which at the beginning were mere imaginations. So, the following narrative on the future of India is derived partially from his experience as an avid reader of history and partially on the premise of pure imaginations which are no less important than any other factor in the making of the future of a state. 

At the outset, let it be made clear that anything that ever happens in any civilisation, happens because of a tremendous and all-pervading philosophical system that the ancients of ours referred to as Darshana or Vichar-dhara. And it is a proud moment for this writer to state that no other civilization in the world has left such an array of philosophical systems that the subcontinent has produced to determine the course of its social evolution through ages. The author is equally proud of the fact that the historical evolution in the subcontinent in the past ages turned around the ideas which were rooted in its own soil. A civilization with a philosophical system system which is deeper than anything ever made in the name of philosophy, and a people who have been known for creativity all throughout  the existence of their civilization, deserve a future which is built on their own ideas and institutions.

It is here that the writer is forced to make a statement on 75 years of lost independence. If we look at the trail of our Vichar-dhara of the past 75 years of social evolution in the subcontinent, we will be forced to bow down our head in shame. During the first 50 years of our lost Independence, we danced to the tunes of Nehruvian socialism which was a murky cloud made up of outlived modern European philosophy. The Other Vichar-dhara which challenged the Nehruvian socialism was the communist propaganda whose proponents preferred to toe the lines autocracy either in Russia or in China. When these two vichar-dharas comprehensively failed the people of India, knowingly or unknowingly a misguided few slipped into the trap of Hindutva, the creators of which had learnt their lessons from the fascist experiments in Germany and Italy. 

It is on this background that the writer wants to make his  statements on the future of India. India will make her future on her own ideas and not on the ideas which were imported from outside her territories. A country like India, whose living languages are older than every other language in the world, whose philosophical systems are deeper than every other philosophical system in the world, whose people are as diverse as the humanity, cannot be expected to make a future on the ideas imported by  the unworthy progenies of the great Indian generations that had lived their own ideas in the past.

EXODUS: FROM PARTITION TO PANDEMIC

Anyone who takes an impartial view of historical events cannot ever question the genuinity of suffering inflicted by the mass exodus during the partition of the subcontinent in 1947. Records variously mention about 10 to 12 million people as affected by the gruesome man-made tragedy in the recent history which was, however, unavoidable. Both India and Pakistan, in one way or another, washed their hands off the responsibility of the human tragedy, because there was a third player who could be held responsible for the cold-blooded acts of murder committed during the partition in 1947. After seven decades of this gruesome  man-made  tragedy. we are witnessing a mass exodus of the scale that cannot have a parallel in the recent history, save the exodus during partition. But, if we feign ignorance about it, or a section of media underplays it as irrelevant, or a section of the political  establishment bypasses it as a political conspiracy, it cannot stand to the tes...

THE STORY OF INDIA: FROM NEHRUVIAN SOCIALISM TO HINDUTVA FASCISM

Available on Google Play Books Excerpts from the book What after Modi Sarkar? On the Future of the Oldest Civilization.  "If by Hindutva it is meant what we are witnessing under the BJP regime today, we don't need any more of it. The time has come to look for alternatives. This statement is like a political quote of the time and this is what exactly one can feel when he/she impartially gauges the feelings of the masses of India. Mind the fact that social interactive platforms of India today, which are hijacked by the feudal classes of India, may speak a different story, which, for their proponents, appears like one of the varieties of nationalism practiced as an ideology of opportunistic power struggle. No doubt, the Indian culture that is renowned in the world history as the most benign culture of the world for having given asylum to infinite number of tribes and migrants from time immemorial and having built a composite culture assuring a rightful place to everyone, has take...

EVOLUTION RELOADED: DECODING TREE OF LIFE AND THE DESCENT OF MAN

EBOOK AVAILABLE ON GOOGLE PLAY Excerpts from the book EVOLUTION RELOADED "The latest in the series of defenses that tried to safeguard Darwinism came from Molecular Biology. Highly advanced and complicated research method called DNA Sequencing which could analyze human composition not at the levels of Morphology, Anatomy or Genetics, but at the level of molecules, supported Darwinism stating that chimpanzees and human beings shared the highest possible DNA sequences among all the existing animals. But this study also shed light on the denying fact that cats and cows, who according to Darwinism descended from a common ancestor along with human beings in the distant past, share 90% of DNA sequences with human beings. The same DNA sequencing also showed the contradictory fact that bananas share 60% DNA Sequences with human beings. Similarly, fruit fly and red Jungle fowl [a kind of chicken] share 60% DNA Sequences with human beings. These results speak themselves that DNA Sequencing ...
