Boundary,n. In political geography, an imaginary line between two nations, seperating the imaginary rights of one from the imaginary rights of the other.
-Ambrose Bierce

But if images are the base for making decisions or you can say our thinking is driven out of every image resides in our mind. Than how 'imaginary' could be imaginary?
Isn't it refelection of reality?

or the above sentence by Ambrose is portraying the wrong image.

Is it a Mirror?

Interpretation constitute decision over images of many kind residing in our mind. We gave it an order , modify it according to our needs and present it for others to play with their emotions. And the after effect reflect on our face to show that life is beautiful. I interpreted life as a mirror in which you can not see your image but you could the collection of images of people sorrounding to you. And creation of your emotions and facial expressions created when you saw them weeping, laughing and cheering. And that make you angry or happy.

Commenting on Exploitation

Dr. Kancha llaiah , First thing first- you can assume your inspiration or community’s mode of survival. But they (idol) are not god and can not be. Because god is an ultimate truth not reality, which is very well explained in Hindu scriptures.
Now in
India we have gone across several years of slavery. Here our fate has been decided by people sitting on throne. They are the god alike because they were reason for survival of the community and for that you have to make them happy; by any means. Even people used to send their wives and daughters to 'Rajmahal'. It can be seen today even.
But theocracy allows only the pragmatic approach towards the god. Could be distinct! Could be identifiable! Could be an illusion, but this comes in this way.
Before going to school I thought parents are god, but in school my teacher became my god. For that some time I have to feel some kind of resistance as well, which is restricted to my self only.
It doesn’t matter that who is our god but the concern is to understand the religious truth and where we want to put our boundaries for making a strong standpoint.
Killing a mocking beast for fulfillment of our needs in front of any deity doesn’t look pragmatic approach to identify our ideology of production and community living parameters.
Ex. In Islam circumcision is process backed by scientific reason of their origination; making it a religious standpoint is mockery of scientific system.
I thing we have published different ideology for different community. We have institutionalized the caste/religion for particular community to leave it into a quagmire.
Version of Brahmanism has been changed over a period of time and has been related to restrictions of work and named as 'CASTE'.
Don’t forget that Dalits have been named after 'Harijan'; "Bhagwan ke Log". The respect given by Gandhi to the community, even some ~40 % is reservation is reserved by government policies and rest 60 % is shared by so called general strata of social communities; Why does any one not say about the irrationality of this politically corrupt system? In fact from some corner I think mass of the Dalit-Bahujan-Harijan theorist or activist had always spoken about the regulations and the pro-dalits policies. They never interpreted the problems in the language which is either globally accepted or understand.
Now if you talk about Dr. Ambedkar , than opposite of his living standards of fellow dalits he wore Tie, foreign made suite and professed the philosophy of discrimination against all dalit samaj, exploitation of them by the general caste where most of the India was poor ,exploited and fighting with the communal viruses which were agonizing the Hindu-Muslim bloody clashes.
All the drama was for putting a new issue on the board to surface the wickedness of Indian poor or poor
India.

The way Dr. llaiah is explaining the mechanism of cast conversion is looking that he want to politicized an issue which was raised by Jinnah some 60 years back to regain the ideological foundation of Pakistan. As like him he is defending all backwardness of Dalit-Tribal group on illogical foundation by comparing the cultural activity of Hindu class and dalit-tribal groups. For example from his article

He was praising the profundity of knowledge system developed by Christian Missionaries in order to acknowledge the education system developed among dalit bahujans to excel them to found a driven position in the society. Then he forget to analyze the whole process of cast-conversion where the converty has to speak English and follow the order of Jesus in order to make some money only, which is quite necessary to come out of the social trauma of poverty and prolonged backwardness.

I would say Dr. llaiah was contradicting his own statement of preserving of the dalit-tribal-bahujan cultural richness by leaving them to cast conversion policies in order to gain places among so called developed social counterparts by their Dalit-Bahujan organic intellectuals [ as he say ].

By going through the article when he was discussing Hindu namaste as folding your hands to greet someone and articulating it as a restriction in your thought that you want to respect someone but he does not want to touch him, I thing he forget ‘Charan Sparsh’.

He was so bluntly commenting on the hindu rituals in order to praising the hand shaking of Christians and physical embrace of muslims as these rituals looks alien in to today’s daily emotional exchanges of common man of India irrespective of cast and creed. I would like to say to Dr. llaiah that eating meat, smoking by women or men is not dalitisation with proud but it is influence of modern thought and cultural education.

I remember some words of Gandhiji:

Going to school and learning there is completely different than use of learnings in your life.

I think he means a lot to his words.


I have some questions to put for me and for readers as well.

Dalit bahujans-harijans are ready to convert to Buddhism, Cristianity, Sikhism, Islam [after 9/11 and
London terror the conversion rate must be down] but they hesitate to convert to Brahmin [any living body can be Brahmin. For details some keywords are: Yagyo-upavit sanskaar, dvij (second birth)].

Why Gandhi ji name Dalits as ‘Harijan’?

Who is the reason for exploitation of lower-caste people? Does they really been exploited or it is just a conceptual phenomenon to make it an industry to grab rights and to make it a political issue.

Why does India not speak infront of ?

As yesterday I was reading one article from "OutLookindia.com" stating the line "We have put Pakistan On Notice" in the subject line noticing the event of PM's address at the Combined Commander's Conference.
The subjectivity of the subject for which Manmohan Singh ji was addressing was looking somehow distracted or there was some overlapping of linguistics of speech to the Bush’s word. Rhetoric can be ignored as all ‘aalla afsar’ pass-out of Cambridge Univ. or equivalent. But if some one is talking about nation’s interest; it simply can’t be ignored.
Let’s put the statements:
‘We face a world of unprecedented economic opportunities and, at the same time, unprecedented political dangers. To navigate our way through these, calls for statecraft of the highest order.’

Discuss controversial SEZ policies and of course about the political dangers: does that mean for the for the formation of allied government for so many years in lack of clear verdict and also danger of no anarchy /reelection as no power given to president of India to run states.
Where are the public interests/reservation issue/ Delhi ceiling issue/ recent Mumbai blast/ and finally Mohammad afzal hanging issue.


International terrorism is the principle challenge today to plural and democratic societies. It not only destroys human life and property but also endangers democratic values,social harmony and economic well being.
