India's Awakening

British empire inflicted irreparable scars on our civilization. The wounds are so deep that even after 71 years of independence, we are struggling to come to terms with our true identity as an Indian.

The Britishers thrived not only on dividing our society in the name of religion and castes, but also fanning hatred amongst each other. This simplified their governance and helped them appear superior over us (the native Indians).

Besides societal damages, Britishers killed our flourishing agricultural sector and handicrafts industry. They imposed a flawed education system where the medium of instruction was a foreign language.

Gurukul system of education was banished and made to look unscientific. Indians were forced to opt for British education system and those who could not cope with it, were branded as illiterates (Gawars).

Britishers established an administrative system that suited their financial objectives. It helped them to conduct organised loot of India's financial wealth through exploitation of natural resources and manpower.

A system of control that introduced harsh policies to punish Indians for non-compliance. It eliminated any chance of progress in our society.

At the time of Independence, the govt adopted the same system. Our so called swadeshi govt allowed it to flourish and spread across the country.

Even today, Indians are subjugated to the same British legacy that it left in 1947. Barring few exceptional decisions (such as abrogation of Article 370), we are following a defective system, which is unfriendly towards the natives.

It has facilitated organized loot, division of society and fostered inferiority syndrome amongst Indians. A full scale surgery is the need of the hour.

Dr Swamy's three step formula to make India a VishwaGuru again

BJP leader and eminent economist, Dr Subramanian Swamy, invited as a Chief Speaker at a recent webinar of TiE on "Making India Succeed", spoke at length on India's existing challenges and viable solutions to address these challenges. However, Dr Swamy categorically focused on three major areas, which will help to improve India's world status and restore the country's past glory. These are explained below: Improve the state of Economy Abolish income tax to boost consumption and savings among households. Bring down interest rates on business loans up to the level of 6% p.a for MSMEs. Increase interest rate on FDs to 9% per annum to facilitate higher savings from households. Build roads to connect all villages with nearby towns. This will improve connectivity, reduce unemployment, increase purchasing power and spur demand. Social Revolution Indians must start believing in themselves as belonging to the same ancestral tree and identify themselves as prod...

Pushpendra Kulshrestha - A Congi Mole within BJP?

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, fo...

Withdraw minority specific reservations at Minority institutions, funded by tax payers money, to bring parity in education system

Minority institutions across India receive grants from government and channelize a large percentage of these funds for the welfare and benefits of minorities such as Christians, Muslims, Jains, Parasis etc. Such inconsistencies rip-off the right of hard-working and meritorious hindu students to receive benefits of better education from these institutes. Despite having a meritorious record, majority Hindu students are left out from these educational institutions only because of their religious background. With 50% of the seats reserved for minorities, general category Hindu students have to fight for remaining seats. This is the prevalent trend among so called prestigious minority colleges such as St Stephens, St Xaviers, Jesus & Mary College, Loyola College etc. In a recent tweet, Dr Swamy highlighted St Stephens case to prove the disparities in the system. The tweet calls for a re-look at the existing education system with the purpose of introducing further reforms. ...
