I come across this topic “do small states help in better governance”, so gave it a thought after doing some background study. After independence, a committee was formed to look into the matter of forming the states. Although committee was to suggest states on the lines of culture, language and social diversity, but little has been the logic so far in forming of states. As of now Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Naidu, West Bengal, Punjab and few more were formed on logical background. States like UP, Madhya Pradesh were formed under the pressure of influential leaders. Bifurcation of states have been done every once in a while but recently, the violent protests forced government to form a committee, which will look into the matter of formation of new states. At present demands are being raised for bifurcations of telangana from Andhra Pradesh, poorvanchal from UP, Bundelghand from Maharasthra, saurasthra from Gujarat and few in eastern states. Most of these demands are from regional pa

Last year on this very day, 10 gunmen arrived here from Pakistan with their weapons to snuff out the lives of 166 people. India has been worst terrorist-hit country for past decade. All these terrorists used to hide in public and execute their plan from our country itself. Now BIG QUESTION is can we (public) can help in any way. I think YES! I was thinking about this idea which will not only reduce burden on intelligence and police but if implemented can be very effective. Idea: We are having websites of all major cities maintained by municipal corporations. Idea is to have a subscription type facility on each of these websites. We need to have moderator for each city website, let us have some local intelligence guy. Now people i.e. residents of the city can subscribe themselves on this facility and are allowed to send any mail to whole city community, which have subscribed, about some suspicious character or activity. That mail after approval from moderator will be sent to all the m

Well, this is what I have done.. Link There you will find a pdf containing some of the suggestions I made to Honorable VC and Dean of students. Let us see..if they follow it or else we will use Gandhigiri ;)

Hinduism is often confused with that Vedic system and often criticized for its caste system. I was writing this paper on Indian spirituality and its relation with quantum mechanics. So, came across some much concealed aspects of Hinduism from literature study. There are three basic ideas of Hinduism or its teaching. First comes, the idea of the One Existence of the Eternal, the Infinite to whom sages give different names Permanent of the Buddhists, the Absolute of the Illusionists, the supreme God or Purusha of the Theists. For its second basic idea is the manifold way of man's approach to the Eternal and Infinite. The third idea is of the inner spiritual life. In fact during Vedic time, sages knew that common people are ignorant and cannot be directly taught these things. So, they gave physical symbols and name to this Infinite which in fact is composed of many infinites. They made ideal figure everywhere, for sun, plants, animals etc. Sages during Vedic time created Vedas, subli

I saw these lines in status message of one of my friend, can’t remember exact lines but theme was something like this: “You won’t teach me, I won’t learn You teach me, I will mug You involve m, I will learn.” We all cleared a very prestigious examination-“JEE” and considered  to be brightest and sincere students but now a t college, we bunk classes, sleep in classes. In short, we have lost that zeal of learning. Big question, WHY? Students blame inefficient teaching by Profs. Teachers on the other hand complain about sincerity and discipline in classes. We; JEE qualified students, professors; considered to be best in India, and one great institute- seems a perfect hub for learning, but is it so? What is the reason? Who is to blame for this- students, teachers or system? I have following feedbacks: i)    Good teaching facilities in classrooms: Each class must have at least one mike and one projector for teachers. This way hey can be

I am currently studying in Varanasi , which is considered to be one holy and sacred city. One can find many temples like main VT, Sankat Mochan etc. Thousands of people daily worship GOD in these temples. I am also used to go to these temples, at least once a week. God is considered to be supreme power, which controls all things. God is believed to be origin of everything as per ancient literature. I being into research, always try to find logic behind any process, event or thinking. So, one day I was just questioning myself, “what is god? Why am I going to these temples?” I was just going to temples, praying to god without even knowing what is god, but still I was praying to him. So, I started making assumptions like god is nothing but a power which is there to balance whatever you do. If you do something good, he would something good and if done something wrong, he would return something bad. But, once while discussing this with one of my friends; he countered me if this has been

In recent times, you might have encountered people wearing weird masks, boards with messages from government on swine flue and group of people debating and giving advises on swine flu. If you happen to open TV and come across some news channel, they all are full of reports on new swine flu cases and at times, a doctor sitting and discussing prevention, causes and symptoms of swine flu. One of the news channel has also started a count of swine flu cases and death toll. Swine flu, now technically termed as H1N1, is strain of influenza virus and is a transmittable disease. H1N1 cases were first reported in Mexico . True! It is a transmittable disease with no antibiotic developed till now, likely to make by the end of this year, Tamiflu is only one antiviral drug and can make the illness milder but still a lot of hype has been made of it. People are so scared that schools have been closed in some parts of country. It is not such a dangerous virus.
