Way of life to make in India
Mr. Narendra Modi who said on his
recent visit to Canada that Hinduism is not a religion but a way of life. He
said “The Supreme Court in India has given a nice definition to 'Hindu Dharam'...The
Supreme Court has said that Hindu Dharam is not a religion but a way of
life...I believe the SC's definition shows the way,". He said Hindu
religion has worked for the benefit of nature,
including wildlife, through the scientific way of life”.
Just that I am still trying to
see the benefit of nature, as Delhi
the capital of India is in a smog. The capital of India which seats the
honorable, President, Prime Minister and the seat of Governance is a place one
cannot breathe. Trying to prove Hinduism to be a ‘way of life’, seems other
religions show the ‘way to hell’. Is the Supreme Court a Religious Court? Is
yes then I would like to have interpretation for all religions, to know which
way they are directing their followers. Depleting forest cover and Land Acquisition
Act, to make way for land sharks can benefit nature is something I am yet to learn, and I am sure I will find
the answer ‘in the way of life’. Benefitting wildlife is something I am still to find as forests decreasing,
wild life diminishing, means ‘way of life’ is having its direction boards blown
wrong directions with the wind politicians break wind in parliament.
Scientific way of life is another ‘way of life’ is again something
I am trying to figure out. Is it our proving we had flight invention before the
Wright Brothers, and getting fighter jets from France? Is it proving that
banning beef good for the ‘way of life’ when cigarettes warnings be increased
on cigarettes packs gets debated, as no Indian study has proven it is harmful
and can cause cancer? The Prime Minister prided of India scientific community
able to reach Mars at Rs 7 per km, when a one km auto rickshaw ride in
Ahmedabad takes Rs 10. Priding India's talent pool and potential to become one
of the top most countries in the world. Can we achieve the same price for a
ride in our public transport? Can we have faster mode of commuting, not at the
speed the space craft shot to Mars, but definitely not the speed of bullock
carts, which we are now subjected too. We also want a decent ‘way of life’ and
not only a ‘way to Mars’.
Still trying to figure out what
‘Make in India’ means. Does it mean foreign companies are invited to ’Exploit
in India’ by exploiting cheap labor? As that is all one can figure out. Is the
‘way of life’ wanting us to manufacture from foreign technology, and have
Indians consume the inferior stuff that they ‘Make for India’, and export the
best overseas. Why not ‘Made by Indians for Indians’ and the world wanting us
to make it for them. Wouldn’t that be a better and more challenging approach?
As otherwise it would be just another McDonalds, Pepsi or Coke which is ‘Fake
in India’ when one compares it to a Mac or a Coke or a Pepsi overseas. It’s
time we tell the world ‘Compete with India’.
The last BJP slogan was ‘Shining
India’ and we are still wondering what is shining, as we are struggling with ‘power
crises’. Pun intended; as it is a battle for power in governance, with the
amount of coalition governments, and with no electric power to shine rural
India, it has become a ‘Joke in India’. Slogans before elections were ‘Acche
Din Ayengey’ (Good days will come). Latest is Swacch Bharat (Clean India). We sure
have ‘Good Day’ which is only a brand name of a Biscuit we can much on, and we
also have ‘Clean India’ which is cleaned off its coffers.
Wish I could take a sabbatical
from India like Rahul Gandhi, and come back and wonder ‘What to do in India’.
The guy is so stressed out with the pressure on him to don the crown of the
Congress Empire, poor chap does not even have time to find a ‘Wife in India’.
If he does find one in India or overseas or over Mars, his predicament is, will
he be ‘Killed in India’?
