Apocrypha
Apocrypha are works, usually written, of unknown authorship or of doubtful origin. The parents of Mary the mother of Jesus is also a work of Apocrypha as there is no authenticated genealogy of Mother Mary's family tree.
How come Apocrypha of Mother Mary's parents decided by Rome is deutrocanonical? At the same time facts of Jesus being in India which is documented proof not accepted by the Church? Who or What is the reference that the Church uses as a yardstick for many of its apocryphal works?
If a Church in Turkey which was used as a Museum is now converted into a mosque, it is such a hue and cry. The Crusades did worse and it was evengelaisation. A Christ who features made to look Western, with blond hair and light eyes, is thrusted on us to bow down and worship?
China has started a new Crusade of Christianity, where Jesus pictures are being replaced with that of Xi Jingping. This maybe down the centuries be the new face of Christ with China's economic and military power, with Rome confirming it as deutrocanonical?

Republic Day
Another day which is a dry day. But you can stock alcohol and drink? When there are teary wet eyes of many facing injustice, persecution and discrmination?
Another day where there is a parade and floats of states depicting their culture? When there are still cases of women paraded naked and India losing its culture of humanity?
Another day when we display our weapons and military might and many dont have basic rights?
Another day where we display patriotism with flags waved and medals of tricolor pinned on our chest? When religion is divided with colors and hatred in our hearts?
Another day when politicians will unfurl a flag and give patriotic speeches? When curruption is unfurled batantly and speeches otherwise are laced with threats?
Another day where Airforce will be displayed and pride of our reaching into outer space? When our inner space of the country is in poverty?
Another day of a holiday, which unfortunately fell on a Sunday? When we have capitalists that want to slave labor for 70 to 90 hours a week?
Another day where speeches may touch on pride of the tallest statue in the world? When we lack leaders tall in character?
Another day where speeches on the commemoration of the Constitution would be preached? When one of the primary foundation article 21 of the Constitution emphasis on the right to life? When in reality is, do we have rights to live a life of dignity and safety?
Another day where schemes of appeasement with facilities maybe declared? In reality when we don't have good roads and good public transport?
Another day where proposal of one nation,.one election would be made? When what we need is one nation and one nationality of identity and not identities of caste and religion?
Another day where many may display the flag outside their homes? When what we need are voices of courage to speak outside on corruption and not sit and watch debates inside our home? Courage to stand and codemn injustice and not only stand and wave a flag?
Another day where we celebrate an alleged secular democracy? Are we secular? Are we really a democracy or dynastic democracy? Or are we a peculiar, secular hypocricy masked in democracy?
Another day when we will mark 76 years of our nation becoming a republic, when will the day dawn when we will be a nation of Free Public? Freedom of speech where our voices are not muffled with fear? Freedom of choice of what we eat? Freedom to practice religion? Freedom to believe we are really Free?
Wishing you all a hope of a Freepublic India one day. Jai Hind.

70 and now 90????
What next will India business honchos come with with? Slave labor emplyees and use them as ponchos to protect their selfish interests? Justifying his 90 hour work comment, Chairman SN Subrahmanyan of L&T, questions how long can you stare at your wife at home, so work on Sundays also. Does he work 90 hours a week? Or is his wife is so ugly that he cannot stare at her face?

Maybe being a Chairman he may not be knowing to be Bedman. As many Indians not only love staring at their wives, but also being on bed with them. Now L&T HR head, Sonica Muraleedharan has to clean the mess, SN Subrahmanyan defecated from his mouth, and state his words were taken out of context??
https://www.financialexpress.com/life/lampts-hr-steps-in-to-clear-the-air-over-chairman-subrahmanyans-controversial-90-hours-workweek-remarks-heres-what-she-said-3714069/
What is the out of context? Did he mean take 90 ml shots on weekends to improve productivity at work? Instead of condemning the statement; lowering her posture, bowing to below 90 degrees to protect her Chairman? When Will Management in corporates stop being sycophants and suck up to a job following inhuman instructions of the Chairman, CEO or MD? Instructions to slave work employees 70 to 90 hours a week?
First it was Murthy of Infoshit (sorry typo error), Infosys, who wanted employees to work 70 hours? Then justifying that it is for nation builidng? Or was it to buy his palatial home in a swanky builidng?

My earlier blog to Muthy's comment of 70 hours work week was, What next Murthy? Work 70 hours a week till you are 70?
https://sunnyfernandes.blogspot.com/2023/11/employee-terrorism.html?m=1
My question to SN Subrahmanyan is, what next? Make employees work 90 hours a week till his current salary of 51 crores hits 90 crores?

Santa Banta and jokes on Sardars
Most Indian jokes needs a Sardar character as the butt of the joke. A community that never got touchy or sensitive but stood their ground for who they are and in pride with their dress code of religion. To the extent many countries where armed troops and police require an uniformed look, the government respected the Sardar head gear.
One of the biggest scams in the Urban Cooperative Sector in India, was the Punjab & Maharashra Cooperative Bank Scam. Hundreds of PMC Bank depositors killed with no access to their money. Few suicides and over 5 years of injustice. In the depth of grief, sorrow and anguish of the surviving depositors, it is the Sardar community that is now leading from front on the legal battle ground to ensure justice.
One of the main coordinators leading the battle is Sardar Gurjyot Singh and someone who honors me accepting me as his brother. President of the Sikhs in Maharashtra and affiliated to Sharad Pawar Sir's political party The Nationalist Congress Party. Sharad Pawar Sir and his party stood by PMC Bank supporters right from the beginning with Madam Supriya Sule even voicing the pain and concern in Parliment.
Gurjyot has given the battle cry on the legal battle field. He is not even a PMC Bank Despositor, but is depositing his love, courage and dedication for the PMC Bank depositors. Such is the heart of the Sardar community

Gurjyot stood by PMC Bank depositors right from the time the scam broke out and attended many protests and stood in the forefront and at times taken by the police into custody.
