Attending Swaraj

In search of attaining Swaraj

Prem Sabhlok <psabhlok@hotmail.com>

After 60 years of independence have we achieved Swaraj (self-rule)?
The Bhagavad-Gita tells us in Chapter 3 that "He who shirks righteous action never attains freedom."

Have we been guilty of shirking our responsibilities even inadvertently during the last six decades in an Independent Bhaarat to achieve our goal of Swaraj (self-rule) akin to perfect democratic freedom?

Before 1947 our leaders particularly Gandhi ji, Subhash Chander Bose, Pt Nehru and others said: 1. Sawarj is my birth rights.

That government is best which governs the least, because its people discipline themselves.

The disciplined people of Bhaarat would govern themselves to ensure withering away of the state.3. Give me blood, I'll give you Freedom, 4. The legacy of India is that 400 millions will govern themselves.

A. Point to considerAfter 60 years of our Independence have we achieved Swaraj, Freedom, and the authority to govern ourselves?

Union of Soviet Socialist Republic was an independent country but negligible freedom to its citizens. Finally it broke down to a number of independent states. Thus it proves that Independence and Freedom are two vastly different concepts.

B. Point to considerWhat has made us to believe for six decades that socialism, democracy, independence and freedom, Swaraj mean the same?

In the Constitution of India "We the People" of Bhaarat are sovereign. Amendments 73 and 74 allow us democracy at grass root level.

C. Point to considerIn what way democracy has reached at the grass root level when the government nominees continue to control / guide the local urban / rural governments?Article 51-A refers to Fundamental Duties of the citizens. According to Art 51-A (h and j) citizen's duty is to develop scientific outlook and spirit of Inquiry and Reform.

D. Point to considerWhat kind of reforms in administration, systems and procedures we have jointly succeeded during the last six decades. Most of our Associations, Organisations, and Departments are still governed with pre 1947 rules and even 1860, 1861 and 1864 Acts.Many intellectuals perceive our Constitution is excellent in its democratic contents but has been ruined in its implementation by political leaders, bureaucrats and insensitive citizens. The Constitution is now perceived as Grammar of Democratic Anarchy.

D. In Swatantra Bharat ex-colonial languages English and Urdu have become dominant languages in every field of Bhaarat rather than Sanskrit, Hindi and other Bhaaratiya languages.

E. Point to considerWhere we have gone wrong in the implementation of the constitution?After 60 years of our Independence now corruption is parading up and down in the corridors of government, markets, Social organization like Non Government Organisations, religious places etc. Cities after cities are becoming urban nightmares with no choice for the residents to go where?

In the entire world, Bhaarat has got the most centralized Administration / Government but not capable of delivering goods. Govts / Bureaucrats take more interest in land /property deals, petty civic amenities contracts etc but little interest in Defence, Law and Order, Security, External Affairs, Public Finance etc.

Articles after articles are appearing in newspapers about fratricide in Army etc but no solution is insight.How should we proceed forward in the 61st year of our Independence ?

Kindly feel free to actively participate in this open debate to find some workable solution.It is high time we give serious thoughts on these and many other matters and find early solution before it becomes too late and unsocial elements take full control of Central / State Governments through their fixed vote banks, supplemented by purchased and manipulated vote banks. How long we shall continue to blame governments, political parties and bureaucracy? Perhaps blame lies in our insensitivity and feeling of gross helplessness.

If people in USA, Europe, and Australia etc can govern themselves for their civic, social and community welfare functions through their non partisan City Councils / Village Shire Councils without any government nominee, why in Bhaarat we can not do so? Luckily for us guidelines, benchmarks and self governing systems and procedures are readily available in the world, we have to simply apply and implement.When we shall get ready? Choice is to have continuous drawing room /coffee house chatter or come in the field to make Bhaarat the best place to live in. Conversion of Hindus in independent Bhaartiya

In Independent Bhaarat followers of Semitic religions are converting Hindus without any prohibitions due to anti Hindu and secular governments and Bhaartiyas laws made by anti Hindu government:

Receipt of Foreign Contributions 2005-06 Home Ministry Report

Downloaded this report from the Home Ministry site. During this year Rs 7877 crs was received by way of foreign donations. Tamil Nadu (Rs 1,610 crs) was the highest recipient followed by Delhi (Rs 1,556 crs) and Andhra Pradesh Rs 1,011 crs. Largest donor countries were U.S.A. Rs 2,426 crs, UK Rs 1,180 crs and Germany Rs 1,062 crs. The list of foreign donors is topped by Gospel Fellowship Trust USA , India Rs 229 crs, Gospel for Asia Rs 137 crs and Plan International Rs 111 crs. Largest recipient were World Vision Tamil Nadu Rs 256 crs, Caritas India Rs 193 crs, Rural Development Trust Andhra Pradesh Rs 127 crs. Please note: a... India 's population is 80% Hindu, barely 3% is Christian yet the largest donors are Christian countries.
B... As a state Tamil Nadu received largest donations. Is it not ironical that the state has reported an increase in conversions to Christianity, is a missionary target. C... Andhra Pradesh has a Protestant Chief Minister. The name YSR Reddy will not fool anyone. D... Why are the U.S.A, Germany and U.K. so concerned about the poor in India ? Am sure there are lakhs of poor people in their country too. Do these Christian organization donors donate such large amounts to Muslim countries like Pakistan , Iraq and Saudi Arabia as well is a moot point. E... These numbers do not give money received by Muslim organizations from Saudia Arabia etc. It is believed that some of this money comes through the 'hawala' route.To read the Report (in PDF format) click here http://www.esamskriti.com/html/essay_index.asp?cat=926&subcat=925&cname=fcra_report

It is important that resident Indians donate large sums of money to sincere Hindu organizations who work in the fields of education and health. One meal in an upper class restaurant costs app Rs 500 to Rs 1,000 per head in Mumbai. Suppose if we, the followers of Dharma, were to cut down on conspicuous consumption and donate the amounts to institutions like the Ramakrishna Mission we would be contributing to society in a positive and lasting way. www.esamskriti.comOur philosophy: "The More we Share the more we Grow".

European countries spend money for conversion of Hindus in Bhaarat
Be aware of this organisations.
The India Committee of The Netherlands (ICN) is an independent non-governmental organization, based on solidarity with deprived groups in Indian society
http://www.indianet.nl/english.html

This is a Dutch Christian organisation is getting very year least more than 700.000 thousand Euros. These organisations are always anti Hindu and try to work in favour of Pakistan and the Muslims.
This is one of the small Christian NGO's that crate conflict between religious groups in Asia . The real Non Government Organisations that behind all this organisations is ICCO Also funded by the Dutch government get very four year more than 160.000000 Euro for humanitarian work and be sure for Christian conversion of Hindus
Other Christian NGO's Cordiad 120.00000 Euro
Hivos 90.000000 Euro IKV 36.000000 Euro PAX: 45.000000 Euro.
All organisations working for only Christians organisations in India , Bangladesh , Nepal , they don't dare to enter Pakistan . Please tell us how we can fight this huge anti Hindu organisations funded by government in the West. -------------

Vending Dharmik information - traitor or stupidity

Spanning a long long period - perhaps the single largest collection of Sanskrit literature has been available from India . During the period of foreign rule - these have been taken away from the country - now the largest collections are no longer in India but overseas.Veda and shastra enshrine profound thought processes.

These are taken in for "scientific discovery" by scientists overseas. Vimana shastra, atomic particle physics interactions, cosmology and a number of other technologies are making their way slowly into "modern scientific" thought.
It is a great pity that our scholars are vending away this information - totally unaware of the "abhyudaya" content that they have for our country.
Is this being "traitor" or "plain" stupidity and selfish unthinking gratification?For example one of the largest collections of electronically encoded Sanskrit texts available one time at http://www.sub.uni-goettingen.de/ebene_1/fiindolo/gret_csx.htm#PM0197Ais off the net.Some people in the past five to six years been collecting literature off the net - and have a huge collection spanning almost the entire spectrum of Sanskrit literature in e-format - and are giving them away free to anybody that asks in Bhaarat.

Swantra Bharat must try to get back all its ancient Sanskrit literature which ex-colonial masters have taken away by fraud, by borrowing or buying cheap such books. These books have treasure for new inventions.
