Governance and Indian Nationalism (GAIN)

After the 1962 war, India-China relationship had hit rock bottom and it remained that way for a period of 15 years. In 1977, Janata Party's victory in LS elections led to improvement in diplomatic relations with China. Dr Swamy's deep knowledge and understanding about China helped PM Morarji Desai to improve these relations.   During the same time, Dr Swamy began to develop a strong yearning to visit 'Kailash Mansarovar' which is the ultimate abode of Lord Shiva and Parvati. However, visiting the most revered holy site for Hindus seemed non-viable because of the following reasons:  Kailash Mansarovar was in China (Tibet), which is a Communist country  As the terrain was tough, infrastructure development on  the site was a challenge May be Mahaperiyava's proximity had ignited a hidden goal of Dr Swamy's life, which was to get Kailash Mansarovar opened for Hindu devotees. Consequently, Dr Swamy began to explore the possibility of reopening the Holy sit

For six years Dr Swamy has been consistently maligned for a crime that he never committed. Despite Dr Swamy's contributions, he has suffered due to the disinformation campaigns of vested interests. Through social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Facebook and Twitter, false narratives are created to fool people about Dr Swamy.  One such example of 'false narrative' was the toppling of Vajpayee government in 1999. It is true that Dr Swamy had a political alliance with Jayalalithaa during that time, however, blaming Dr Swamy for the fall of government is exaggeration. In reality, ex-Congress MP, Giridhar Gamang had voted against BJP in the 'No Confidence Motion'; It was Gamang's vote that brought down Vajpayee government. Even though Gamang's membership was under suspension, yet under some dubious reasons, Congress managed to caste his vote against BJP.  Therefore, singling out Dr Swamy for such a collective act is unfair. For a long time, this single

Ram Temple movement is not just a 30 year old fight, it is a 500 year old struggle of Hindus. Many Hindus, including Sadhus and sants, have sacrificed their lives for the Ram Temple cause. After such a long struggle, Hindus are now about to restore their pride and honour by correcting the past wrongs. It is true that our country is grappling with multiple challenges such as Covid-19, Economy etc., however using these issues to demoralise Ram Mandir cause is a reflection of a crooked mind.  Mr Pawar's recent remarks on Ram Temple are insensitive and condemnable. Perhaps his continuous secular bias has caused irreparable damage to his reasoning abilities.   BJP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Dr Subramanian Swamy slammed the leader by terming his comments as "ridiculous". Has he started losing his mental faculties, Dr Swamy added. Ram Temple construction and fighting Covid-19 are mutually exclusive events and therefore, simultaneous action on both the events is possib

'All that Glitters is not Gold' -- A famous saying is apt for the glamour world whose outer layer shines whereas the inner layer is hollow. Young and bright minds enamored by the outer shine of Bollywood, get sucked into its hollowness. Their desire to achieve money, name and fame overpowers the negatives of the film industry. Nepotism is the ideal word for Bollywood, where f ifty year old Uncles, portraying as college students, are seen romancing with young heroines. They lack looks, acting skills and voice modulation, yet manage to get movies after movies. Meaningful cinema, where genuine talent could be spotted, is a thing of past. The Directors & Producers are overdependent on the star power of a 'HERO' to achieve commercial success. Presentation of movie, grandeur of sets and get up of artists take precedence over scripts, dialogues, messaging and plot. Most Bollywood movies lack content and a strong story line.  The directors copy ideas, transform

Lets say that I am a nobody to comment on Pushpendra Kulshrestha (PK), in the same manner, PK has ZERO credibility (he is nobody) to comment on Dr Swamy. PK's track record suggests that he is fair weather friend of current government. PK could very well be a Congi mole disguised as a Hindutva speaker.  And I am truly flabbergasted to see the responses of Hindus. Apart from making videos and giving speeches on Public events, what is PK's contribution towards Hindutva?  Yes we do need warriors to speak in favor of Hindutva, however, it doesn't mean that we will accept anyone or everyone. Unfortunately, now days its like a popularity contest because anyone who speaks at a superficial level manages to get MAX eyeballs.  Due to emergence of these fake warriors, people have lost sight of the real on ground fighters. Just because a public speaker comes across as a Hindutva well-wisher, he may not necessarily be a genuine well-wisher.  However, these speakers, for their

Even after 70 years of independence, the GHOST of British legacy continues to haunt our country in the form of policies that subdue aspirations of native Indians. The administrative structure and prevailing governance system reflects the same mindset as that of British, where government is the ruling class and citizens are mere subjects of the ruling class. What else explains the brazen hike in petrol and diesel prices by the government on account of increased taxes??   Since Modi's rise to power in 2014, taxes on diesel prices have increased five times whereas those on petrol have doubled. Taxes on these fuels now comprise nearly 66.67% of retail prices at petrol pumps.  In May 2020, when global crude oil prices had reached record lows, the government increased excise duty on petrol and diesel by ₹10 per litre and ₹13 per litre respectively. Since additional burden of excise duty was absorbed by oil marketing companies, retail oil prices didn't witness any increase

Congress list of scams is a never ending pit, the more we dig, the more filth comes out of it. The endless list of scams with disproportionate levels of corruption is a story of greed and abuse of power for selfish interests.  Recently unearthed documentary evidence shows a typical land grabbing case of Congress in Bandra East, Mumbai. As per the docs, gross irregularities were found starting from acquisition of land till its final use.  In 1983, Congress acquired a 3,500 square metre of land at dirt cheap rates under the pretext of building a hostel for students from backward classes. This acquisition was based on an earlier proposal, as per which a hostel was to be constructed (on this land) for providing accommodation to SC and ST students. Seventeen years later, in complete violation of existing norms, Congress built a commercial building over the land meant for a social purpose. Even though, maximum allowable limit for construction was 20,000 square feet (sft), a commercial buildi
