The heterogeneity in India can not be compared with the west as sometimes we tend to compare ours with the nations such as America or France etc. That is why India is still in the nation building process sociologically (politically we already are) given the numerous sporadic/ perpetual internal war fronts (both armed and unarmed). Also the nation building in real sense seems to be a distant dream

especially when we have a system where the heterogeneity is mostly used to grind one`s own axe in terms of vote bank politics.

Democracy will be existing in real sense when people are empowered enough to respond and not to react. I mean we have learnt to accept that certain political elites can do whatever they want and that we are mere spectators....Its high time for the masses to understand that its only them who allow such people to govern and that they are the biggest political entity who can freely chose their own socio-political fate. Sadly but truly people have never realized their true potentialities as well as the hindrance that lies behind this state of the Indian people. Its also true that the ruling elites would never want people to reach such a state from where they can exercise their own independent scientific choices as that will be same as digging their own grave.

The objective scientific outlook is what lacks given the RELIGIOUS, CASTEIST, FEUDAL, BOURGEOISIE, PATRIARCHAL chains that the people are caught in to. The solution lies in freeing people from these SELF EXPLOITATIVE socio-political chains and develop an objective scientific outlook towards society and politics.

Reaction will only lead to further reaction and further counter reaction.

Let us awake in to the world of Tagore where the Mind is without fear and the Head is held high...

Good Morning Everyone............

Materialism or economic relations undoubtedly is the root cause of all the social structures determining its political nature. Often the understanding of hierarchical, exploitative and discriminatory relationships are understood in isolation for instance caste system, class oppression, racism, gender based discrimination.

The fact of the matter is matter itself. All the above-mentioned relationships are political manifestations in the social relationships to institutionalize the structure which can control matter in one`s own and in turn in communities` secular interest.

Broadly speaking the problem seems to be in the manifestation of selfish political behaviour of which the cause being the matter.

our society has gone way ahead in this process and its very difficult to simplify the complexities of the structures. However, taking clue from the abvementioned understanding if the process is reversed i mean if the matter is equally accessed by all, wouldn`t it minimize the very scope of selfish political behaviour?

Wouldn`t it then limit the scope and challenge the very foundation of all the hierarchical, exploitative and discriminatory social relationships?

In this fast moving life, when I pause a little and introspect across times and phases in my life in retrospection, I cannot but feel immensely indebted to the contributors who enriched my life with their varied experience and blessings.

Fortunate I was as my first Gurus i.e. my parents chose to provide me the opportunity for meeting great academicians, professionals, colleagues, friends and even not so friendly ones who directly and indirectly helped to grow..

Thanks to all such "Gurus" both formal and informal ones: friends, colleagues, teachers, professors and above all, my parents. I will remain indebted forever.... Thanks

Happy teachers day........!

"Reservation", as and when it comes in to news, unfettered reactions fills up entire socio-political space. In normal situations one seldom raises issues of caste, discrimination, untouchability but when something related to "reservation' or some other means of affirmative action occupies space, I could see many a apolitical metrosexuals, even the ones usually keeping arms length with the political milieu instantly transform as the biggest caretakers and solution providers of the above mentioned social evils..

To me this behaviour indicates something pseudo, something unrealistic, a reactionary political move which has no real sympathy with the eradication of the caste system. If at all one wants to weed out the root causes of the prevalent social evils, one must dare enough to talk about the evils consistently and refrain from making occasional reactionary remarks. It only shows the real character of the reaction which is nothing less than a political one rather for a social remedy.

Truly said that communalism is nothing less than the aspirations of the burgeoning middle class of instant solution seekers who can go to any damn levels of hypocrisy.

Truth is that if the country really were to be the land of Mahatmas and saints in real terms, no social evil would have existed as it exists now. For a not so mahatma like nation only coercion had been a comparatively effective tool. Time since independence had been proof to this assumption. I hope the future of my country falsifies this. I shall be the happiest...
