WHY WE SHOULD BE PURE VEGETARIAN:-

The whole universe is filled with the living organism whether visible or
invisible, nothing is vacuumed. We all are in the physical forms and
presently in the physical region of the universe, and we need to survive
in this universe for that we have got the physical body and to keep the
body live we need some diet .But as per the karmic law of the Universe
what ever we do it is being registered in the karmic log sheet against
our soul which we got to balance rather we got to pay back to balance
because each thought, word and action comes under the karmic law. There
are 8.4 millions kinds of species are occupying all the regions of whole
universe. Let us discuss the physical region in which most of the
species are visible like Plants, Insects and water Animals, Birds,
Animals like dogs, cats, elephants and Human beings.

To survive in the region we got to have some diet for our physical body
to be remained in the body. For that we got to kill some species and use
them for our food to survive and killing some species creates karmas.
Now let us discuss the differentiation between vegetarian and non
vegetarian diets, all the five categories of different kinds of species
are made of five elements, these are Earth, Space, Air, Fire and Water
and the each species have some percentage of each and every elements and
all the species are categorized as per the percentage of all the
elements. Though all the species on this planet have physical
configuration and are the living organism which grows and dies off.
Plants being the lowest most category contains maximum of earth and
water elements and presence of rest three elements are negligible in
percentage, all the eatable plants right from the grass to the biggest
tree and their fruits are consider to be the vegetarian diets because by
killing them and eating them creates the karmas which can be easily
balanced as the law says that each and every action has equal and
opposite reaction, so the impact of the creation of these type of karma
is lesser than the other karma.

The second lowest most species are the water animal, reptiles and the
insects consist of three major elements earth, water and air and the
presence of rest two elements are negligible then comes the birds which
consists of water, air and fire but the earth & space are negligible
then comes the mammal animals consist of major four elements earth,
water, air and fire but the presence of space element is negligible.
Killing & eating these species other than plants are considered to be
non vegetarian because the impact of these types of karmas are heavy as
per the categories and to balance these we got to pay back by suffering
our self by going into the lower configurations than the human. The life
of all the species are 100% pre ordained right from the birth till death
of the physical configuration other then the human configuration. Human
configuration has got only 25% free will and other 75 % of life span is
pre ordained as per the previous karmas.

A story related to the karmas I must share with you, in a village there
was a school and in some festival there use to be a function where one
male goat to be chopped off and the meat to be served to the public so
the a teacher was deployed to perform the function, He brought a male
goat and told to the boys o the school to take care of the goat by
washing and providing good grass feed, some boys took the goat to the
river and started washing and garlanding while they were doing this the
goat started laughing and the weeping ( as the story says ) they were
surprised and eager to know what is happening to goat, one of the boy
asked the goat Hey what happened, why are you laughing and weeping? Goat
replies that, that I will disclose in front of your teacher please take
me to your teacher, all the boys took the goat to the teacher and told
the happenings, after listening the story teacher asked the goat yes!
why are you doing that? Goat replies to teacher the following "Dear once
upon I was also a teacher and performed this ritual and chopped off the
goat once and I have been awarded 500 times to become goat and to be
paid back to balance the karma created by me by killing the goat, I am
laughing because I am happy that this is my last birth in goat
configuration and today I got to die as per the order of the creator of
the universe". Teacher said," Oho! I see, but why are you weeping "?
Goat looked in to his eyes and said," I am weeping because I am worried
about you, "what will happen to you"? As you are also going to create
the same karma". Teacher was stunned and told that," then we will not
kill you" and order the boys to take care of the goat. But goat said
that today is the last day for me in this configuration I got to leave
some how. As the story states that the boys left that goat under the
hill for green grass, there was a thunder struck and one piece of hill
stone fell on goat and the goat dies off.

The story teaches us that we should be very care full, as without karma
we can not survive on this planet, but we must use the right
understandings for each thought, spoken words and action, we got very
limited time on this planet and in this human configuration and the
creator has provided all the faculties for the right understandings
along with 25% free will. So that is why we should live our life on
vegetarian diets because by eating vegetable we do create karma but when
we do some good thoughts, speaks the good words and acts in helping
others in any way, we are able to balance our karmas.

The other reason to be vegetarian in scientific age, the physical
configurations of all the species other than the plants having billions
of the germs / bacteria which are not vanish able even by burning or
roasting and creates hell of deceases by multiplying them self in
fertile ground in side the human body. Now the scientists also
recommending the vegetarian diets.

DEDICATED TO THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE MUMBAI

We don't know who wrote this piece but here is a different and might I say, a very accurate assessment of a Mumbaikar. A must read! And, if anyone can identify the author, please let us all know.. Me Mumbaikar The gruesome battleground in South Mumbai has left us Mumbaikars fed up, scared, angry, willing to lash out, especially at the politicians. We now have an incoherent rant against "the other" or "the system". My heart goes out to the victims and this article in no way downplays the magnitude of the human tragedy. Yet as a lifelong Mumbaikar, I have not been able to shake a feeling that people have deliberately refused to grasp the essence of the problem because it is not conveniently gift wrapped with a bow on it. Simply put, there is no "other" to blame. Mumbaikars over decades of greed and rapacity, have destroyed rule of law and corrupted the systems which should have protected us. We are the system. We are the reality of Mumbai. We are its pestilence. It is convenient to demand action, to demand results, somehow, anyhow. Can we believe in a fantasy that a bureaucracy, government and law enforcement apparatus which have never delivered anything meaningful which we have ourselves strangled over the years, can suddenly start delivering results in one narrow sphere of security? AIDS victims don't die of AIDS. They die because AIDS reduces immunity and invites secondary diseases to feast on the weakened host. An AIDS patient can die from a common cold. Terrorists only descended upon the enfeebled carcass of Mumbai to deliver the coup de grace. They are the opportunistic secondary infection. Mumbai was always a symbol of opportunity and accomplishment, with the accompanying corruptions of any big city. But what is Mumbai today? It's a ghettoized city of intolerance where Raj Thackeray can rouse lakhs of people into hatred of an "other", where vegetarians can discriminate openly against the "other" in their buildings, where Muslim enclaves make the "other" uncomfortable in their midst, where a parallel economy and a parallel justice system can thrive. It is a city of corruption, where the police force has been emasculated, where constables have to take bribes to pay off the cost of their postings, where senior officials operate openly in collusion with industrial houses, where human trafficking and child abuse are openly tolerated in plain sight at traffic signals. It is a city of decay, where greedy and corrupt builders can destroy every last inch of breathing space, documents can be faked, BMC officials bought off en masse, protesters can be bullied and threatened, restaurant owners can dump their daily trash in any quiet street corner. It is a city of harassment, where kids on loud motorcycles can whiz about unstopped, where loud pandals and religious displays disturb people way into the night, where poor people live in constant fear of harassment by the police. It is a city of neglect, where we cannot even point to one bylane free of potholes and garbage, not for technical reasons but because it fuels the perpetual motion machine of contracts and corruption. It is a city where the local governance become an enemy of the people, grabbing parks, destroying open mangroves, dumping huge toxic waste in plain view of its citizens. Ask a Mumbaikar from the slums what fun it is to get his kid's birth certificate from the BMC, to get past a police check, to get a lawyer who won't cheat him for common things,to get a judge who won't delay his case indefinitely. A poor "unconnected" person or a single woman would think thrice before walking into a police station to get help and even then would not do it. Above all Mumbai is a city of temporary convenience and compromise with no core values left to hold on to. The euphoria of economic growth justified every short cut and every depredation. Beneath the facade, Mumbai fell apart street by street, tree by tree, victim by victim. Mumbai is not an international city, it is an international joke. It is easier to take offense or retreat behind cliches, than to sincerely ponder the truth of this statement. The city cannot provide roads, fire service, ambulance service, police safety to its people. Those who feel it is "part of the charm" to walk past open garbage and people defecating, to drive on wretched roads, to not have any place to take your child to play, to have parks grabbed by local slumlords, are in denial about their hometown. They add to the apathy which keeps it in decline. We try to talk ourselves into believing that the human vibrancy covers up the physical dehumanization. Each and every one of these acts is perpetrated by a Mumbaikar. Each incident is like an incident of unprotected sex which takes the victim closer to the fatal disease. Each instance of apathy is just like one who cannot be bothered to wear a condom. A successful crime reduction effort in New York is called "Broken Windows". Consider a building with a few broken windows. If the windows are not repaired, the tendency is for vandals to break a few more windows. Eventually, they may even break into the building. Small crimes, if not stopped lead to large crimes, hence even a broken window should be pursued and punished by an alert citizenry, equipped police force and effective prosecution system. This indicates of the interconnectedness of things. Sorry to say, neither protests nor candles nor political resignations can help us. Not even an election. Who will you vote for? Throw out Manmohan and bring in Advani? There is no "One" who will sweep in on a white horse and save us. The world is now too complex and too interconnected for a single Obama or some mythical Kalki to come in and sweep clean with a magic wand. That only happens in films. Until and unless there is a mass movement of self-realization on the scale of the freedom movement, the city will continue to bleed. A corrupt, weakened and demoralized force is not suddenly going to wake up and become a crack squad. A polity used to the easy days and fat life is not suddenly going to snap into action when it has been unable (despite similar outcries) to even keep the Mithi clear or keep the highway free of potholes. Let's not glamorize the spirit of Mumbai or the beauty. It is purely money power and film dazzle which keeps this image intact. Neither Mr. Tata with his billions nor Mr. Bachchan with his pistol was there to save us on Wednesday night. We were saved by lower middle class jawans who on a normal Sunday would not even be allowed to enter the Taj or Oberoi by the security, who cannot even afford a Thums Up at Souk. Do we even deserve these amazing young men to fight and die for us when every public figure and Page 3 celebrity is on air spewing verbal diarrhea about our fear and trauma? The very same businessmen who pay customs and excise officers to look the other way ten times a day, now want them to be vigilant the eleventh time and catch the arms. We have forgotten the RDX which landed under very noses of Customs in 1993.. The same citizenry which doesn't care if builders illegally encroach approach areas and roadsides, now want to know why fire forces can't do their job. The same contractors, who cheat and embezzle funds meant for equipment for cops, are now furious about the inadequate body armor and .303s. All because "our" Taj and Oberoi are under attack. Where goes Mumbai, so the rest of the nation. Governance and rule of law are at an all time low. Rights of poor people and middle class urban dwellers are trampled brutally. The backlog of cases and toothless enforcement makes a mockery of the Constitution which has enough teeth in it for many common problems. We had a window of unprecedented growth where we could have set systems and infrastructure straight. We did not, instead reveling superficially in our new -found easy wealth and sweeping any honest inquiry and intellectual thought process under the carpet. Today we find that the much-feted titans of industry and finance were drunk on a global binge of easy debt and bogus stock valuations, and that the real growth has not traveled to the people who needed it, that real fundamental nation building value has not been created to the extent it was believed. Today we need the army to throw out Lashkar from Colaba Causeway, what will we say when Naxalite cadets show up in Chennai? We always say "Me Mumbaikar Aahe". This is us. We are the ones who whittled away like termites at the gates and then threw down a red carpet of blood for terrorists to waltz in and shoot up our town like some drug-crazed teenagers on a weekend spree. Only a Mumbaikar can truly understand that feeling of enraged impotence at the sight of these animals strolling down our historic downtown redefining forever the Mumbai taunt "Baap ka road hai" We are not to blame for their inhuman choice to perpetrate violence upon innocents. No secularist, no apologist, no CNN reporter, can justify that action. But we are to blame for our failure to protect ourselves and we are to blame for our inability to change the systems that made it possible from a fundamental level. Unless we re-engage our civic society as responsible and honest citizens of our own free will, we cannot expect better from our institutions. Let's start with the hard, thankless and unglamorous task of fixing the broken windows and potholes. We have a very long way to go before reclaiming our Maximum City from what we have allowed it to become. Only then can we show the lead to the rest of the nation as we have always prided ourselves on doing. With regards and be safe, Anonymous

What India needs today

A lot has been said about the Indian intelligence process or the lack of it, and its teams over the last few days since Nov 26 2008.

Several of us, probably those working in the corporate world, know and see a lot of similarities that come to mind when you compare the National Governance at the city/state level - call it Nation Management(which is not at all different from Project Management) - and the corporate governance which we can safely call - Corporate Governance - which is all encompassing management and progress.
The differences and similarities can be discussed as a separate thread.

Col. Hariharan's interview comments on Rediff.com – if reproduced and printed by their editor with complete accuracy - lays bare, the reality that plagues us Indians in general and also, what must be done to get to a better position than this - if the citizens really feel the need to do so.

Hats off to Col. Hariharan for pointing out what India really is lacking and what India is really about and what it needs to get over this.

1. India is a country of lazy citizens - top to bottom - believe it or not. You can see this in the daily choices the citizens make in their lifestyles, and the different options they choose for their selves. Look at the various projects happening in peoples' personal and professional lives, and you will see a clear reflection of the basic underlying laziness.
One simple reason, internally a lot of people have given up on the system and the processes for various reasons which shows up as the laze factor.

2. Some other comments in the article, namely the attitude of not taking responsibility, I see this as a huge reflection in some corporate companies I have worked/working. The higher management does not take action but always play 'pass the parcel' and puts blame on the more easily impacted lower level people who do the actual ground work, and are easily dispensable with.

3. Another thing that has been mentioned and needs a clear focus is that India needs a war-room in place, 24x7 where all intel news has to be assessed and processed.
This war room is needed not just for the intelligence issues, but it is needed across the board for ALL developmental projects that are taken up in the nation.
All developmental projects need to be tackled seriously and hence they need constant focus and thus a 24x7 kind of planning, preparation and execution. But do you think this will happen.... never - because of point 1 above.

War room kind of setups are steps corporates take to sort out their own internal issues.
- this is also a key to Agile methodology of software development and applies to other areas too.

So Col. Hariharan, if you can suggest what steps citizens need to take at their levels, it would be much better too, since citizens today - though they think they don't need a big brother watching over them -need guidance to live a better life and maybe only the folks from the defense can show some examples.
Based on this article, if we all recognize the very basic lacunae in the Indian mentality, then I must say, there is a lot of history behind WHY Indians have been so.
It is very important to recognise the contribution of history in order to assess our lacunae but bearing in mind, not to hold History thus responsible for all the mistakes we make today.
Our mistakes today are a result of our ongoing lack of realizing our faults, taking everyone and everything for granted, belief in luck thus leading to carelessness, inefficiency, unaccountability, lack of discipline and corruption.
All in all, Indians now need to realize that -
· this is the 21st century that we are living in.
· we live in a ever increasingly connected world and can't take our individual lives to be isolated to not have any impact at a global level - read Butterfly Effect.

· we can't continue to live like an Ostrich that buries its head, or like the cat which closes its eyes thinking danger has passed

· we are calling ourselves an emerging economy - as opposed to an being just an emerging nation that we were way back in the 70s. This comes with a lot of responsibility
· On paper we are an established nation with a 'thriving' democracy but in practice, we are still not facing our own reality that our people and mindset is immature because of
o a high level of illiteracy and thus immaturity

o unfounded faith in luck-factor
o lack of interest in the educated masses to move out of the self satisfaction loop into the more generic mass benefit mode
· we educated classes are armchair critics, as it was mentioned in an article in the DNA Mumbai edition last night, but we don't move a muscle to take action about anything - reason - Pt. 1 above
I could go on about these various issues, we are all aware. but to get into action is something no one will teach.

At our individual levels we, as educated citizens/vote bank/intelligentsia/intellectuals of this nation:
1. need to put our COLLECTIVE minds to work, not isolated thoughts floating around waiting for some signal from outer space
2. need to bring out the maturity in us, in our daily activities like

a. choosing a responsible way of behavior in our house, apartment, home, on the road, in public places, while driving, while talking, while interacting with fellow humans, and the environment
b. choosing to stop behind the stop line at traffic signals
c. choosing to not talk on the phone while driving
d. choosing not to spit on the roads
e. choosing not to honk unnecessarily
f. choosing not to overtake on the roads by being patient and showing care for everyone around
g. choosing to teach our kids the values of respect, discipline and self respect
h. choosing to create a better quality of life for ourselves for a better quality of life later
i. choosing to take interest in people around us so that we can ascertain they are all socially responsible people and not anti-social elements
j. choosing to conduct ourselves in an honest manner and promoting the same
k. choosing NOT TO BRIBE for getting our work done - not to take any shortcut but be clear we want quality work done the right way
l. Promoting Meritocracy over Autocracy, Bureaucracy and Aristocracy
m. Another very key aspect that needs mention here is - 3 to 4 generations of the current times have not experienced what it means to do hard work, and they have taken a lot of things for granted - like the presence of mobile phones, the internet, the TV and automobiles. As a result, the understanding they have of what it really means to earn things the hard way is not there in their heads.
Unfortunately, even Mr. Anand Mahindra pointed this out in his article
today in the ToI.

So the very important thing that needs attention is that these generations need to get grounded, get real and get practical to get this nation the strength it needs.

All these are very difficult choices, so we need to be making small self-sacrifices now for the greater good later is the only way out of this mess we are currently in
1. In short, we have to be the guides for the society keeping our patience, our perseverance, and our maturity on alert display for others to see and learn.
2. It is a lot of difficult choices, but unless WE make it NOW we can expect the next few generations to survive in this nation in some better condition - if we really DO CARE about our own kids whom we are producing as a social and moral obligation
3. Else we will all be living for our short term gratification leaving the future a dark mess for the new generations whom we are producing in blissful abandon

Is this a movement for change?

Thank you if you can take the time to read through my muddled, confused and angry thoughts here.
Hope you pardon me for this outrage and this intrusion on your private lives during this time of extreme crisis. If you are waiting for a better time for crisis to strike, please be patient in this city/country for it will be rewarded

I appreciate the humanity in you and the respect you have for those who can only vent their frustration this way but have to get on with their daily life because their life depends on just that.

--
With due respect to all those people who have laid their lives down to protect the human life that was under fire in South Bombay, I have some questions for those who are congregating at the so called 'ground zero' (we/the media are so at loss of sentiments and associated vocabulory in
this country that we HAVE to copy sentiments from elsewhere).

The media is being held accountable on other grounds too as you might read here
http://calamur.org/gargi/2008/12/02/week-1-post-2611-the-peddlers-of-dea
th-the-media/

Since the last few days, the 'educated well read intelligentsia and intellectual' people have been focusing only one issue - going to the Taj precincts and raising their voice against the political classes, organizing protest marches or what have you.
Doesn't anyone realise that this very act of going to the South - to the area that has been in focus for the attacks - has turned this so called mass movement into a very fragmented deal?

NO ONE in any other part of this city have really felt the impact of this attack.
There are no movements in any other 'class' of society - be it the laborers or the slum dwellers or the original residents of the city or anyone who lives up North.
There are no angry protests anywhere else but down South.

The working class has gone back to their daily grind of this city, the crush and rush of the trains and buses and the labor class has returned to their daily bread earning ways.

Amongst the dwellers of any other part of this city, from Dadar onwards towards the north - there is NO REPORT of a single gathering amongst them to do something on the lines of what folks are trying to do in South Bombay - raising their voice against those who are to have caused
this mass murder.
Either they have gathered and the media didn't find it worthy of reporting, or they didn't show any solidarity.

People from walks of life like theater, cinema and media and the so called high-society and corporates who have, in a way, been the key targets of this act - (you don't excect a daily wage earner to be going to the Taj every day do you?) - several of such folks live even in the
areas of Bandra, Andheri, Goregaon.

Why have there been NO MOVEMENTS at all in these parts of the city then?

Why don't the common working class, the so called vote banks of the suburbs of the city and elsewhere, feel the same pain?
the slum dwellers or the daily wage earner in the parts of the city I live in up North have no inkling of any damage that they themselves would have felt.
They would have felt only a little bit of glee that - good, now what has been happening to people like us is now happening in the high society.

You see, this problem and its impact has remained only amongst those of us who probably are on FB, or Orkut, those who use the Internet regularly to connect with people, mostly the 'pseudo' intellegentsia like you and me, the reporters of newspapers or the honchos of the corporate world. The rest are living in the land of their daily bread.

Unless these so called common folks of this city and its suburbs, whom the politicos seemingly represent through their vote banks do not feel the pinch, this movement has no impact and there will be NO CHANGE.

You might go all the way to the south of this city, raise a few slogans, have coffee at the hotels and cafe that were razed, and come back feeling smugly satisfied that you did your bit and the world will change... you are all SO WRONG

Tell me show me, report for me please on your blaring media outlets - how many of those daily wage earners will come to the Taj side today and protest in the language of the intellegentsia - English?
how many of these common people will even bother, for they have to go to their work again tomorrow and they will have no choice but to get back home for a new day.

You think you all have the power to change the way these vote banks will think?
I would like to see evidence of that happening.

Only then, I, the angry frustrated and shameless and helpless middleclass resident of this city, will feel the surge of encouragement in me, that NOW I can say change of even 0.01% will be felt BY ME in my daily life.

Only then my dear fellow citizens can we, as Indians, feel that this event has triggered some movement.

Otherwise, this will remain an event an isolated march to protest for a
change which will die down, come the party time of 25th - 31st Dec 2008.

An Israeli security expert had suggested a total TV blackout as the jehadis wanted their Mumbai horror show to be put on display for the world.

Our news channels had clue played into the terrorists' hands. ( The jehadis chose the Thanksgiving weekend in the US to show India in a poor light as an investment/business/tourist destination).

The terrorists wanted maximum TV eyeballs and they got it! The right to security is above the right to information.

The "if it bleeds, it leads" mentality of television news is failing us. TV's hunger for shocking pictures is distorting the world's' view of terrorism in India, and its excessive use of terrorist video is spreading propaganda of an even more damaging sort.

TV outlets run the risk of becoming mindless, amoral communications tools by which terrorists advertise their brutality, enlarge their reputations and belittle those who would protect us.

The Pew Charitable Trusts' 2004 report on the state of the U.S. media found a troubling trend:

News outlets "disseminate" news from other sources rather than collect it themselves, and the end video product often becomes repetitive, chaotic and incoherent "raw news." Ultimately, news decisions are surrendered to those who would manipulate it for their own ends. TV may need to explore a new ethic — with some stern written-down policies including:

1) A refusal to air video or other propaganda from terrorist Web sites or other anonymous terrorist sources, except in the rare circumstances that such information warns viewers of an imminent, credible threat.
2) A prohibition against using images that aren't shot by network or other legitimate photographers. That means not using video shot by terrorists or insurgents, because these images are suspect, often staged for propaganda.
3) A new practice of prominently labeling all non-network, freelance or bystander video — akin to the photo credit in print journalism — so audiences can judge the source of each image.
4) A commitment to require the same sharp scrutiny and relentless challenges to terrorists and insurgents that journalists traditionally give our own government and military officials.

Well done Barkha (NDTV), Rajdeep (CNN-IBN) and Arnab (Times Now)!

Also your analysis was lame, hysterical and I had to surf the Webto understand and analyze the situation and after effects.

Please don't sell your Motherland for TRPs.

PS: The London blasts had no images of the inside of the Tube.,

ya devi sarvabhuteshu...

As I watch the myriad evil events that happen all over the world by so called terrorist elements, I go back into Hindu mythology to the point when Mahamaya Devi Durga and Devi Kali’s stories originate.

Tales of those times when Mahishasura the asura who could take any form and more so that of a buffalo and his counterparts Raktabeeja come to mind.

Raktabeeja represents the same forces that we see today that are coming in more numbers every day.

The havoc by these demonic forces were so great then that it actually brought ALL the residents of their worlds together – the devas, the sages, the yakshas et al, and it was with their UNITED power that Devi Durga got her form, and each of her weaponry from their individual weapons.

See any similarity in our current times and what needs to be done?

an appeal to all corporate captains and media

With due respect to all the comparisons we all will end up doing with the US 9/11, we have to get out of the rhetoric that Indians take to so easily, esp. the media and maybe even some CEOs as heard saying that one can't stop such an attack even if prepared well.
We all know how much of self interest we Indians are really about, there can be no doubt about this aspect, not that other nations are not, but the Indian mentality has been exposed this time.

The solidarity, the anger and frustration that we see today, that the media tends to fuel oftener, needs to last individually in us for more than 4 weeks, which is the minimum time after which the short term attention span, we all are bestowed with, kicks in. If this anger for a change can last in us for more than 4 weeks, we can go ahead and really act on some change.

You realize that it is only the defence forces in India that today can comfortably take pride in being united and save the nation and those are the ones who really inspire us, not our bungling, corrupt and inept politicians and cops. In parallel we have the beureaucrats who join the services to eventually become servants of these politicians that they don't stand loyal to the position they come to represent.
The defence forces are the only ones we can proudly say, run with professionalism in them like the corporate world and hence are successfully able to achieve their targets.

We, the educated class who have become the silent majority, out of due respect for equality or simply due to our own selfish interests, have allowed all the village bumpkins to come to town in sheer numbers and go about beating their drums and blowing trumpets cementing their position in politics thereby catering to their own self interests with no idea of progress and professionalism.

As corporate India today has witnessed an attack in its own house, at the higher level, if a lot of pressure goes on to the government from the corporate houses, backed by all their employees who desperately need this change, things can really change.

A common man might not be able to lead from the fore in today's times like M. K. Gandhi did way back then.

I could be one of those few of us, if not all, who are really angry, who want to take action in our own hands, as I have heard that things will go back to being the same soon if action is not taken NOW.
But if the nation really needs a change, that growth happen in this nation, and that we really are able to utilize the human capital that we have, and make India a proud nation to lead the 21st century, private industries and their captains have to rise up and take charge of the change that the politicians are simply denying us from by their corrupt, inept and tiresome ways.

The Indian vote bank politics has to change and the biggest change I see is by educating the illiterate, uneducated members of the vote banks, by breaking down the loyalties of the vote banks, the slum dwellers of all cities, and all such set ups that contribute to the vote bank.

Today they are the ones who outnumber us, the silent educated majority, in their sheer growing numbers, and they are the ones who need to be made to realize their folly in electing corrupt politicians.

Thanks to all the corporate honchos for putting forth your views on this topic with the government to bring in some change but an action is very much warranted before you let things take their own course. There is much to say here, and much much more to show in terms of examples that underscore the lacunae in the system that has brought one huge mishap on this nation. We are all aware of the anger and frustration, that it could have side effects on people/employees who could lose their balance trying to make sense of where we go from here.

Hope this message goes out to all who can bring this change now - those with the economic power and will - or we will end up with higher collateral damage the next time.
Going by the number of responses this event has got, lets take action on these sooner than just write about it. I would ensure some action on my part in this direction.

Just adding a hand to this churn of anguish and pain so that maybe some amrut of positive action may emerge from it.

Among Muslims, Shia and Sunni kill each other in all the Muslim countries.

The religious riot in Muslim countries is always between these two. The Shia will not go to Sunni mosque, these two will not go to Ahamadiya mosque, these three will not go to Sufi mosque, these four will not go to Mujahiddin mosque?.like this it appears there are 13 castes in among Muslims, Killing / bombing/conquering/ massacring/? each other !

For Hindus 1280 books, 10,000 commentaries, more than one lakh sub commentaries for these foundation books, 330 million gods, variety of aacharas, thousands of Rishis, hundreds of languages,?still everyone goes to the SAME TEMPLE ? whether unity is for Hindus or in others and never Quarreled each other for the last ten thousand years in the name of Religion.

My choice: HINDUISM----- The most UNIQUE & PEACEFUL religion in the world.
