The English surf suffered for about eight undred years from 1066 to 1833; his brother in India has groaned for thousand of years and still continues to groan. The point is, such has been the pressure of metaphysical scoundrelism that the victims have always accepted their lot as a devine dispensation. India`s social organization was veritabel nest of hornets. It stung everybody without benefiting itself in any way. The Braminis thought that by keeping all others in ignorance, in matters spritual and intellectual, they would be the sole beneficiaries of the rights and perquisities conferred by society. While, for a period, they did enjoy these benefits, they have in the long run proved to be their own and India`s worst enemies. the fact that the vast masses deliberately kept without light soon darkened their own minds. There was no stimulus to keep up to the mark or to take a leap forward. The noton of "chalega or it will do" crept in and rotted everything. Kind Regards! Sunder T

In India how is it that a people who have developed great intellectual and spiritual powers, as also aestetic sensibilities, have become victims of self-hypnosis? It is a low of all conquest that conqueror tries to grab all possible advantages to himself and his followers. This may be called the spoil system. It has flourished at all times. India`s day is by no means free from it. Aryab invaders of India, despite their beautiful invocations to the verious deities, were throughly earth-bound, and took whatever they could lay ther hands on. But they did one thing which no conqueror in the history of the world has ever done or thought of doing; they codified, philosophized and spiritualized their villianies. Kind Regards! Sunder T

Blogzsunder.204 Subject: New Prime Minister of India from 2014 onwards India needs its next prime minster to have big ideas and push them through. The new prime minister could reduce reservation in education and jobs by 1-2 % every year, which will help banish casteism from our society by 2030. It is time for India to have such a transformational prime minister –one who will modernize India`s cities, solve agriculture and water woes, break the shackles of casteism, bring about manufacturing revolution and improve government efficiency. Such an agenda can decisively alter economic fortunes of millions while simultaneously revamping the social fabric of our country. This is what said N.V Krishnakumar in TOI on Jan.08, 2014.

subject: Corruption vs inefficiency In India, more than corruption, it`s gross inefficiency that is the biggest problem. Corruption is only part of the cause of our failures on all these and other fronts. the other,if not major, reason for Indian being unable to get things done is our genius for bungling, for getting things wrong instead of getting them right. India has a lesson to learn from China and Thailand; be corrupt if your must, but with it be efficient; take the money, but deliver the goods. India`s biggest bane is not corruption, it is not that people in power steal money; it is that those who steal our money seem incabable of accormlishing anything- from building a user friendly highway to eliminating poverty through subsidies and other schemes. Arvind Kejriwal`s AAP has risen like a desi avatar of St George to battle the dragan of corruption. But it might have an even bigger ogre to combat in the form of system ineptitude which just can`t make things work. That`s the real job cut out for AAP. Will it be able to get job done? ref. sencondopinion@timesgroup.com http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/jugglebandhi/ Kind Regards! Sunder T

Blogzsunder.202 The human soul is not a just a passive spectator. It participates in our daily life by putting in a word in its shy and non-assertive way, but in a crystal-clear voice. The dynamic aspect of the soul is the psychic being. Soul is like the president of India. The president is at the highest level, but for the sake of dignity of office keeping a distance from routine affairs. For dealing with routine affairs, he appoints a prime minister. The `Prime Minister` that the Soul appoints is the `Ego1. The ego has three `ministers`- the Body, Emotions and Intellect- to take care of different portfolios. But, like the president, sometimes the Soul also feels like putting in a word. The president has a secretariat to take care of that. The secretariat of the soul is the Psychic Being.

Sunderblogger.201 Lokpal bill has kindled hopes of curbing graft, but more needs to be done to banish the menace of Corruption. Nothing emboldens the corrupt more than the belief that there will be negligible or no consequences for their corrupt behavior. The Lokpal will, hopefully, contribute in some measures to create the nexus between crime and punishment. The following steps are necessary. (1) Reform of funding and financial accountability of political parties. (2) A systematic increase in the neutral intervention of technology into as many as possible where the common man has to deal with government. (3) Finalization of model legal framework ensuring transparency and fair play in all transactions relating to the disposal and acquisition of national resources and government procurement processes. (4) Instituting deterrent action in a time bound and exemplary manner for all acts of corruption, which in turn, presupposes substantive judicial reforms. The seed of corruption is the link between Politian’s and political parties and unaccounted money. Anna Hazare has taught us that public pressure is a potent weapon in compelling reform. The onus to put that pressure lies on the people of India. Kind Regards! Sunder T

Sunderblogger.200 India is becoming a political circus where our leaders [Netas] beat our abhinetas anytime, their posturing making 70 mm look small! For example the Lokpal Bill- 46 years after a nation awoke to its destiny, as Jawaharlal Nehru put it, and smelt the coffee-tops any filmi plot. Kind Regards! Sunder T

Sunderblogger.199 Sunderblogger.199 We as human beings have power - not just to cause harm and create terror but to help ourselves of this seemingly hopeless scenario of doom and gloom. It might seem contradictory that people are empowered and empower others, merely by being kind and compassionate and not because they are overbearing, manipulative and unkind and force their view on others. A kind word, a good deed, a cring gesture, a warm simile, all these are like power kegs. Kindness and compassion spring from inner security whereas aggression and hatred come from inner insecurity. When our backs are up against the wall, positive inner resources come to the rescue. Sometimes they are invisible but in times of distress, they give us strength and help us emerge as powerful game changers. Kind Regards Sunder Thadani

Sunderblogger.198 India is a funny place for business. Nitin Gadkary has proved it. Which other country can claim such a distinction, which showcases Not only multitasking abilities but also socio-economic equality? Can Barack Obama`s chauffer take on the job of a company director even while continuing to drive the US president around? Can Mitt Romey`s driver do both such jobs at the same time? Nope, It`s only in India where such inspiring success stories are possible Drivers, peons, munims(Accountants), astrologers, who are part of the Gadkari network of companies have all shown a commendable flair for business affairs and have been suitably rewarded with high corporate office. Moreover, the BJB leader is not the only one under whose benevolent disposition such enterprise has been encouraged to thrive. Similar success stories abound right across India`s political spectrum. The reason for his is simple. Unlike elsewhere, in India the danda (stick) of the law is accommodative of `h`s, as in `hera-pheri`(cheating). This small inclusion changes the danda (stick) of the law into the business of dhandha (business) as usual Kind Regards Sunder Thadani

Sunderblogger.195 Life is all about connections. Our mental, emotional, physical and psychic selves only establish connections, be it with nature, people of things. We don`t know how to relate to them. We do not build relationships. When we connect with consciousness and awareness with what is around us, only then do we actually relate to them. Bu we do relate to something and that is our selfish nature. Any action based on the selfish motive will not endure long. Kind Regards Sunder Thadani

Sunderblogger.194 When the vision of oneness, a higher vision, is absent it creates divisions in the family, company, community, nation and the world. Self-importance is the cause for divisions at any level. In a family there are conflicts, in a company there is manipulation, in a community there is fanaticism, in a country each state wants its own independence and internationally there are wars. This is all because of the absence of vision of oneness- one harmonious family, one strong nation, and one peaceful global family. Sunder Thadani

Sunderblogger.193 Stress is a disease of the 21st century. Everyone seems to be in stress from a child to a retiree. What disturbs the mind? You believe a bad boss, nagging spouse or the weather causes you grief. The truth is that nothing in the world can disturb you except yourself. Stress is defined as mental turbulence caused by unfulfilled desire. As long as a desire remains unactualised you will be in stress. Yet desire is being recklessly fuelled and people are n stress. When you rise above desire and work for something beyond, the object of desire comes to you. Then you can enjoy it thoroughly with a calm mind. So what is the way out? The first step is to manage desire with intellect. If the intellect approves, go ahead and fulfill the desire without fear or guilt. But if the intellect vetoes it, keep away. This gives relief. The next step is desire reduction by upgrading desires. Pick up a higher desire. The lower one drops. Finally, when the lure of the Infinite grips you all desires vanish. You are in Bliss.

Sunderblogger.192 to live life is to be related and in every relationship there are three factors, the subject, object and their connection. If the relationship is harmonious, life is harmonious; if not, life is disharmonious. The art of wisely relating to life and heightening the spirits is being spiritual. Best Wishes Sunder Thadani

blogzsunder.189

Sunderblogger.189 our attitude towards other in our workday life reflects like this “Day after day countless creatures are going to the above of heaven yet those that remain behind believe themselves to be immortal”. We believe that what happens to others will not happen to us. We apply different stands to evaluate our own behavior and that of others in all fields of activity. The `other`, across cultures, has been seen variously as a friend- an extension of oneself- or as a foe posing a threat to one`s freedom. The other has been seen by some as deserving our concern or respect, by some as an opportunity for solidarity or mutual transformation, and by some typically as an unwelcome practical, political or cultural limitation. The other can be the ethnic, other, the cultural other, the religious other, the national other or simply the other gender. Kind Regards Sunder Thadani
