Faith and Science

Experts from recent argument between Justice R V Raveendran and Justice Sorabjee on Ram-Sethu issue.

Sorabjee: "It is a long-established tradition in the country to worship the structure, which is believed to have been built by Lord Rama."
Raveendran: "Hindus worship the Earth, Ganga, the Gobardhan mountain and trees, (but) that does not mean that people do not do anything with them."
Sorabjee replied: "There is no need to look for any historical or scientific evidences whether Lord Rama made it or not, but that it is the faith of millions of people in this country."

It has become a common thing to prove some faith scientifically by believers and disprove scientifically by non-believers. Big-bang itself a theory yet. So why see any faith from purview of science ?

Pack your bags

April 10 2008 is a black day for hardworking, intelligent, focused class irrespective if you are FC or BC. Though the SC judgment has taken a middle part by introducing a fancy term called "creamy layer", will the implementation be an easy affair? As usual the creamy layer definition would be doctored, adultered and favor creamy idiots. I wonder, why should there be policy if it is virtually impossible to implement.

Where does India go from year? Personally, I feel pack your bags and leave India otherwise you are not giving fair chance to your future generations. Already in TN there is virtually no seat available for FC's looking to study MBBS. Now that reservation in IIT's and IIM's, FC's can forget studying in these institutes. What abt quality? Who cares?

Private institutes like BITS, XLRI, ISB etc would gain prominence. One would probably see spurt is good private institutes catering to hardworking, intelligent and focused class. But can poor study here? Only a decently earning family can think of these institutes. Education would become a thing of rich.

I am afraid more elections India or its states face, more sops like free colour TV, reservations, waiver of loans en all. Living in India is becoming dangerous, so pack up!!

Yoga to be made compulsory in TN

Atheist M Karunanidhi always dabbles with religion in some way, either supporting indirectly or going vehemently against Hinduism making tons of news. Of-late he seem to have mellowed down towards Hinduism otherwise how can one explain him sharing dias with Sai baba and Jaggi vasudev or not showing much interest in Kanchi Sankarachariyar's case ?

The latest goggly is making "Yoga" compulsory in TN schools. I am not debating if this idea is right but fluxed by the fact that Karunanidhi and TN govt going gaga over Yoga which is a complete USP of Hinduism. I wonder why DK, PMK or CPI is not protesting against this order.

One of reasons given by Education minister Thangam Thennarasu for making yoga compulsory is "Chief Minister M Karunanidhi himself is a regular practitioner of yoga and that is a secret of his good health". I learnt that Karuna learns yoga from "Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandram" run by Iyengars.

Don’t be surprised if Carnatic music is made compulsory. Music academy is just stone’s thrown away from Karunas house. He may like these soothing swaras as he gets older or who knows he probably has acquired a taste for this type of music giving up couple of mugs of beer.

A big step backward !!

I am appalled to hear about the reservations in private sectors in UP. I don't politically understand either as Mayawati win was majorly due to Tagores who are part of upper caste community. Though this reservation announced is for private sector firms executing projects for the state government, I believe, this is going to have big ramifications. Probably the first step towards reservations in Private sectors.

States like TN would soon follow. Infact there is a possibility of these govt going a step forward where would force reservations on private firms, if they were to setup up a centre in their state.

Will we be happy if US or Euro slap a reservation or tax high for all outsourced job ?

Power Hungry Gowdas

What a shame, An Ex-Prime minister stooping down to such low level to ditch his alliance partner BJP. This father-son duo have created situation to their advantage, not long ago this son toppled the then govt. by withdrawing support in the (supposed to be) absence of the father, the old rag put up a drama saying then that he was against his son's actions and acting as if he was about to
cut-off all relationships with his son. As some one said "Deva Gowda is not humble farmer but a fumble harmer".

Dirudrashtrays are always part of Indian politics

Nehru-Indra-Rajiv-Rahul
Deva Gowda-Kumaraswammy
Karuninidhi-Stalin
Ramdoss-Anbuman
iBal Thackeray-Udhava Thackeray

When will this family politics end in India?
