Gandhi Jayanti and Mockery of Justice

Seeking justice in India is nothing more than a charade. It has become somewhat like an asymptote; in pursuit of justice being delivered, one cannot think of meeting the clear and much defined finite ends, transforming ones’ hopes into a blatant travesty of justice. In the name of justice we have been witnessing frivolous judgments since ages.
No one killed Jessica Lal, No one ever killed the Black Buck, a homeless man was never crushed to death in a hit-and-run case by any Bollywood celebrity under his SUV, Babri Masjid was never demolished, the the heinous Hathras Gang Rape never occurred…………………………
To ones’ chagrin the aforesaid verdicts have been a poignant reminder of justice being denied.
Light is meaningful only in relation to darkness, and truth presupposes error. It is these mingled opposites which constitute our life, making it pungent and intoxicating. We only exist in terms of these conflicts, in the ambivalent zone playing different notes of life.
The ubiquitous figurine of the three monkeys (Mizaru, Kikazaru and Iwazaru) of Mahatma Gandhi depicting moral gestures to see no evil, to speak no evil and to hear no evil seems to have lost its roots in the present day. It’s one of the maladies of our age to profess a frenzied allegiance to truth in unimportant matters, to refuse consistently to face her where graver issues are at stake. Justice now is nestled in the hands of the bigots; hence on the cusp of justice there shall always be a spike in ambiguities, disparities and violation of the fair play.
I strongly condemn and deplore the irrational judgments being served to us in the name of justice. The devastation caused is irreversible and cannot be compensated at any cost.
Amidst the prevailing high tension-🙏🙏🇮🇳Happy Gandhi Jayanti🇮🇳🙏🙏.
Ahimsa Paramo Dharma (how far does it stands true)

Fighting the gloomy days-A tough call to take



In a letter dated April 16, 2020 to the Secretaries of various Ministries, the Cabinet Secretary Rajiv Gauba had asked them to urge the employees of Government of India, as well as those in PSUs under various Ministries -- to make voluntary contribution to PM CARES Fund as a 'noble gesture'.
On April 17, Ministry Of Finance's Revenue Department issued a circular, asking employees to contribute voluntarily to the PM CARES Fund with an opt-out clause. "It has been decided to appeal (to) all officers and staff of Department of Revenue to contribute their one day's salary every month till March 2021..."
Amidst the lockdown being extended beyond a month, news of suicides by daily wagers who are unable to feed their families have started coming to fore. On contrary, the appeal of the Cabinet Secretary seems to go unheard by the Government employees who have shown their reluctance in accepting the voluntary contribution of their one day's salary. Has India lost its track of solidarity?

Religious Discords - Mazhab Nahi Sikhata Aapas Mein Bair Rakhna

To begin with, I would love to borrow a quaint old saying of a divine, 'It is difficult to catch a black cat in a dark room, especially when it's not there'. This metaphor simply indicates that it is a hopeless pursuit to find a thing which isn't there where you are finding it. Few conditions should be met to enable someone to accomplish the task of searching. First of all, ‘the thing’ you are searching for must be available somewhere where you are searching for it, the second condition is one should completely open their eyes during the search operation; and the last condition that should be met is one should somehow remove the darkness of the room where one is searching. Only on these 3 conditions being met together one can accomplish their pursuit.
A religion is a set of beliefs that is passionately held by a group of people that is reflected in a world view and in expected beliefs and actions. Each religion also has a "moral code" which is a set of beliefs about how humans should act. Will not be picking up a detailed discussion over God and Human Spirit, but yes the major thing to discuss over is morality. "Morals" are the way a human behaves to other humans. Most religions make rules about human morals. The rules of how people should act to each other are different in different religions. Almost for every religion, following a "path" of goodness, truth and duty is very important, while not every religion teaches people to be kind to all other people. In many religions, it has been common for people to believe that they have to act kindly only to some people and not to others.
Whether we are Hindus or Muslims or any other by religion, by and large we are following the set of rules laid by our religion/community. In every religion we can easily come across people who are the religious preachers, then their hard core followers or disciples and then there are mute spectators as well. Though the ambivalence of thoughts and beliefs do exist in every religion, yet the disciples are never seen preaching the preachers, nor are any sort of reforms brought by the mute spectators. It is a universally acknowledged fact that the majority rules everywhere.
Martin Luther King Jr. said, ‘There comes a time when silence is betrayal. Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter’. Many of our irrational orthodox rituals and practices such as ‘Sati’ got abolished not by the elite religious preachers, not by the hard core disciples but by those who stood against these irrational practices as the reformers. The entire world has witnessed several revolts, reforms and campaigns from time to time. One of the latest reforms in today’s digital era is the #metoo against sexual harassment and sexual assault of women.
We all are prone to fault findings in others hence he who plays the donkey must not be surprised that he gets everyone on his back. To conclude I would like to borrow the wordings of Barak Obama to clear my stance, ‘Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek’.  - Devendra Lingwal
