RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALISM AND CONTEMPORARY WORLD

Religious fundamentalism is strengthening its ground almost all over the world, leading to frequent clashes. It is strongly observed in countries like Israel , India and Islamic countries. In US till now it's under the cover of white supremacy but soon it may De-envelope itself as we can see frequent clashes between far right white supremacists and (so called ) blacks and Muslims. Taking the case of India where the Jansangh party now called as BJP rose into power in 2014 and its continuing its second term ,has brought the wave of Religious fundamentalism under the name of hindutva ,which actually too way far from Hinduism which promotes tolerance. BJP preached Hindutva as a political ideology and gained a massive support from people as the majority in India are Hindus. In recent past a comment from a Meghalaya HC judge Justice S.R Sen said India should have declared itself a HINDU NATION like Pakistan declared itself as islamic. How we could expect such kinds of comments from a person who took the oath of Indian constitution which is secular in nature and spirit. A popular narrative of Hindu khatre mein hain (Hindu is in danger) should now be secularism khatre mein hain (secularism is in danger). Respecting others religion and eliminating orthodox principles which are not and should not be applicable today is something what we need today. Whenever the state mixes with religion ,it creates havoc and chaos ,and the world will surely bear the consequences of this.

Act Now For Climate Change Or Face Consequences

The choices we made under the name of development are bearing fruits in the form of pandemics, global climate change, population explosion ,rising sea levels, depleting natural resources, energy crisis, etc. We have developed a concrete jungle in which robots are living not human beings. When I was a child I was having a big playground to play. We literally played in soil, dancing ,running, falling, getting injured and what not. Now there are no playgrounds . So the children’s have shortened their playground on a 5 by 6 inch mobile. Today’s generation kids no longer play football , hide n seek in open. These games are a luxury for elite children’s whose parents can afford flats in big enclaves offering playground, gyms, swimming pools,etc. This will be huge setback for the health and immunity of kids in future. Yes they will be intelligent ,ahead of time, open minded, unorthodox but remember they will be just like a microc...

Wondering Why India Ranks As A ‘Flawed Democracy’? Here Are 22 Possible Reasons

What Leads To The Fall Of Democracies? Recently, the Democracy Index Report was released by the EIU and a countrywide debate started, on the fall of India by 10 odd places i.e from 51 to 41; citing the reason as “Erosion Of Civil Liberties”. The facts tell us numbers and the numbers come from observation. The fallen democracy index is a gentle reminder that the world is watching us. It will be suitable to commence my article by quoting Dr. Ambedkar. “An ideal society should be mobile, should be full of channels for conveying a change taking place in one part to other parts. In an ideal society, there should be many interests consciously communicated and shared. There should be varied and free points of contact with other modes of association. In other words, there should be social endosmosis. This is a fraternity, which is only another name for democracy. Democracy is not merely a form of Government. It is primarily a mode of asso...

" The RSS : A Menace to India" Review

The RSS was established as an armed , militant wing of Hindu Nationalism in order to overpower and wipe out Indian Nationalism from the country: Noorani In April 2019 India was in the first phase of 2019 general election and 'fir ek baar , Modi sarkar ' slogan was sweeping across the country. Just one month before the election, a book was launched by LeftWord Books in the India International Centre ( New Delhi) . Not much attention was paid to the book by the 'liberals' of this country and no book discussions were held by the 'mainstream' media houses. The Hindu Nationalist Narendra Modi (as he called himself) came to power again . The book is titled " The RSS : A Menace to India". Starting with the quote by Dr.Ambedkar "If Hindu Raj does become a fact , it will ,no doubt , be the greatest calamity for this country...Hindu Raj must be prevented at any cost' the book ' The RSS : A Menace to India' written by the most nota...
