Oh for a Hindu Bharath!

Something has changed in India, post BJPs resounding win in Uttar Pradesh Assembly Elections. And this change has long lasting consequences.

Since Modi won in 2014, there were many like me, who hoped against hope that Hindus will get justice in a land where they have a majority. 60 years of insipid anti-hindu rule by Congress Party (Even BJP under Vajpayee didn't do much for Hindus) made us hang our head in shame. Our Temples were run by the Government, We were not allowed to have our own personal law while others could, they could have their educational institutions while we couldn't, special privileges to them but not to us, they had the first right on all resources but not us............ the list is endless.

Though I backed Modi in his quest to bring a semblance of Governance in a Country notorious for lack of it, I was quite unhappy that he didn't do much for Hindus. The School Text Books still have rubbish contents glorifying Islamic Invaders, while making no mention of the advances made in Mathematics and Science during the Vedic Era, Kids learned how 'great' Akbar was or even the tyrant Aurangazeb was, but not about the mightly Cholas whose Kingdom extended upto Bihar, and then to Far East till Indonesia. A clearly distorted version of Independence struggle is still being dished out to our kids, glorifying Gandhi and Nehru, who were at best 'Useful Idiots Indian Leaders for the British', and whose antics post independence still affects us, as seen in Kashmir and minority appeasement all over. True, Modi did not shy from propagating Yoga, visiting temples, or not overtly pampering the minorities but that was not enough. We wanted him to do something, anything for Hindus.

Now by appointing Yogi Adityanath as UP CM, he has sent out his first clear message that India will soon be Bharath, where Hindus voice will be heard first and foremost, as it should be.

This is not enough. We need to see Temples released from Governmental Control, we need to get rid of this rubbish which certain schools are following that students should follow strictly 'pseudo secular' way in the School. I recently heard a student who chose a lovely story about Kalidasa, Shiva, and Parvathi to illustrate the importance of Self Confidence, denied a prize because 'the student spoke about Hindu Gods!'. What can be more absurd than this. A Principal in an Indian School in Muscat lost his position 3 years ago because he put Swamy Vivekanandas picture in the School Diary, though the same diary had Mother Theresas picture which no one objected.

We need the Government to initiate plans to revive the glorious traditions and thought process of Hinduism, Vedic Studies, Propagation of Sanskrit and ensure there is a climate in the country where we can say with our heads high "I am a Proud Hindu, and this is My Country - Bharath"

For a beginning, can we change our Contry's name to BHARATH?

Much water has flown under the bridge during the past 40 days since the last post.....

Lot of surprising things have happened since my last post 40 days ago......................................

 

BJP won a staggering 325 seats in the 403 UP Assembly...

 

More importantly, Modi showed the courage to appoint Yogi Adityanath as the CM. For the first time, Hindus, who have been at the receiving end all these decades, heaved a sigh of relief..

 

And.... Yogi Adityanath did not don the hat of a secular on assuming office. He took decisions that clearly showed his intentions to annul all the minority appeasement lawlessness of the years practiced by Akhilesh, Mayawati, Mulayam.........

 

Finally, we are seeing BJP moving towards taking care of Hindu issues, which augurs well for the future.

 

The New CJI of India, Justice Khehar, has showing remarkable maturity and common sense, abandoned the confrontational approach of his predecessor with the Government, and has genuinely tried to resolve the issues pertaining to judiciary. The SC is also seen to give sensible judgments, though the tendency to encroach into policy making domain is still visible......

 

CJI also offered to mediate on the Ayodhya Temple dispute after years of impasse, which set the ball rolling ..................

 

The path breaking GST is almost through and looks to be rolled out on 1st July 2017....

 

Roger Federer improved his backhand (at the age of 35) and won Australian open,  Indiana Wells Masters and Miami

Masters! And he beat Nadal thrice in a row!! (On this count, I have to congratulate his Coach Ljubucic. At Federers level, there is nothing much you can teach him. The Coach's role is limited to strategizing and making his life outside the court smoother, and perhaps strengthening him up mentally. But successful ones do try to add an arrow to the already overflowing quiver. Give a new dimension to his game.  Edberg did add an attacking streak to Federer and made him come to net more often, but Ljubicis has reworked his relatively weaker one handed backhand, and made it into a strong weapon. This has given a whole new dimension to Federer's game and is nothing short of a miracle. A former top 3 player himself, Ljubucic also has a strong leadership streak in him, and was active in the Players council and also was Europe's player representative in ATP).

 

Australia showed surprising pluck during their recent Test Series against India, though I guess Indians were a bunch of walking wounded after a long long season

 

Elsewhere life moved on as usual............

 

Rahul Gandhi continues to be in denial....

 

Kejriwal carries on making a fool of himself...

 

Pinarayi Vijayans Government in Kerala bumbles from one controversy to another, doing precious little...

 

Oil price remained stable in early $ 50s......

 

The Main Stream Media rambles on...............mouthing inanities...........

 

Next IPL is a day away................

 

There is a terrorist attack in the world every other week..................

 

 

Life goes on...
