Bhagavad Gita labeled “extremist

The Bhagavad Gita was said by God (Lord Krishna) 5000 years ago on the battlefield of Kurukshetra to his supreme disciple Arjuna. The Gita is the essence of the Vedas and was told for the benefit of us commoners who do not have the time to learn the Vedas. Hinduism is a religion that has left its contemporaries (Egyptians) behind and is still a flourishing, peaceful religion. It survived repeated onslaughts by Islamic conquerors for 800 years and 300 years by a Christian British rule, despite all this it exists. If the Gita is such a dangerous text -- then why did Gandhi and Einstein swear by it?? Hinduism is one of the only religions which has not invaded another country and wiped out the indigenous population in the name of religion; Hinduism does not proselytize; Hinduism does not have suicide bombers, does not stone people ... then WHY attack this religion? Why this Christian aggression

Anna Hazare to fight corruption

We deserve to be ruled by corrupt rulers, we deserve to be looted, we deserve to live in poverty and hunger, we deserve to live in country where criminals go scot free and those fighting against corruption are jailed and lathi-charged, we deserve to live in a country where poor people have to run from one government office to other and pay bribes to get their work done, we deserve to live in the conditions where roads are broken every few months, we deserve to live in a country where we don't get clean drinking water, electricity and where s^^t flows on roads. We deserve to live in a country where police is not approachable and where you can't file FIR or pay for it or you fear that by taking money police will do a case on yourself, we deserve to live in a country where people are afraid to go to court and where you have to wait for years in court to get justice, where jutice delayed is as good as justice denied. Because we choose to be ruled by corrupt people. Because we don't challenge wrong. We can't differentiate who is fighting for us and against us. Because we can't differentiate who is fighting for change and who is resisting it. We are not going to get a leader like Anna for decades who is selflessly fighting for poor people.

Aryabhatta

Aryabhatta (475 A.D. -550 A.D.) is the first well known Indian mathematician. Born in Kerala, he completed his studies at the university of Nalanda. In the section Ganita (calculations) of his astronomical treatise Aryabhatiya (499 A.D.), he made the fundamental advance in finding the lengths of chords of circles, by using the half chord rather than the full chord method used by Greeks. He gave the value of  as 3.1416, claiming, for the first time, that it was an approximation. (He gave it in the form that the approximate circumference of a circle of diameter 20000 is 62832.) He also gave methods for extracting square roots, summing arithmetic series, solving indeterminate equations of the type ax -by = c, and also gave what later came to be known as the table of Sines. He also wrote a text book for astronomical calculations, Aryabhatasiddhanta. Even today, this data is used in preparing Hindu calendars (Panchangs). In recognition to his contributions to astronomy and mathematics, India’s first satellite was named Aryabhatta.

The Lokpal Myth

a)            When Congress says that Team Anna is indulging into politics then Congress needs to learn the very definition of politics. Politics is done for political gains. Team Anna has time and again reiterated that they will never fight an election. If opposing the ruling dispensation means gain to the opposition parties then one can’t help.

b)           Corruption charges on Kiran Bedi: Corruption or Bhrashtachar or Bhrasht Acharan first needs to qualify the criterion of an act done with an ‘intent’ of personal gain. In Kiran Bedi’s case her ‘intent’ was to generate funds for NGO for good cause. Diggi Raja was equating Kiran Bedi’s act with that of Kalmani and A Raja where the ‘intent’ behind the gross irregularities are well known.

 c)           Lokapal will be an uncontrolled monster: Please go through the fine prints of Jan Lokpal draft, same is there on the net. It talks of creation of a body (Lokpal) which will create a fine balance among all three pillars, Lokpal, Legislature and Judiciary; all three will be independent of each other, yet keeping an eye with a legitimate control on each other.

 d)           There is a huge amount of money being spent by the ruling dispensation (congress and its allies), they have bought media and spending huge money on Online Reputation Management which means online agencies are hired who have deputed huge manpower to counter the growing anger against govt and create a sense of sympathy for the govt. Similarly news Channels are organizing detabes but keeping the panel highly imbalanced, invariably it will 4 v/s 2 (two from govt. two from govt. funded NGOs or Print publication chief editors and two from team Anna), channel will give an impression that it’s a balanced panel but subtly you see it will be designed to tilt towards govt. side. Not only this, the amount of time given to air their view will be a lot to govt. and govt. controlled representatives while team Anna voice will be curbed there also.

 I urge the people of this country to keep up the pressure and beware of the paid PR and other tactics of govt. which can go any length to sabotage this movement.
