For most of the Nineteenth Century, India was ruled by the British. India was considered the jewel in the crown of the British Empire. Queen Victoria had been made Empress of India and the British had a major military presence in India.

In 1885, educated middle class nationals had founded the Indian National Conference (INC). Their aim was to get a much greater say in the way India was governed.

I browsed today a few website on freedom struggle of India and it came to me as a surprise- educated middle class nationals joined the freedom movement along with great leaders Gandhiji and Nehru. I was wondering all these years which class of India has got freedom for us. Was it the elite, the middle or the lower sections of society? I feel it is not a case of class difference and I never thought I belong to a any particular class apart from a feeling that I am a human being. I see a lot of things happening around me and it is interesting what these exclusive classes in pages teach about our free India. It is a world of youngsters of 30 and 35 and the rest of the world should go in silence or they will be sliced like old trees in  pavements. I will be adventurous to say here that old writers like Chetan Bhagat should go and young writers like Shobha De should stay back to kick the pages of free India. We as a society are not free of our inhibitions even after years of independence. There is no peace forming entity in this world as the world is divided and UN is just a puppet in the hands of America. Opinions are formed not on who fought for freedom but who ruled after independence, who achieved ahead of monuments and who can sit on the warmth of a palatial palace. We are free from British but we are not free from our own monsters that as a birth right chain our own nation and divide its inmates.

Educated middle class nationals founded the Indian National Conference for freedom struggle. Elite joined INC later to become ministers and not to take part in any kind of struggle.  Middle and Lower are there for  to struggle and fight and die.... Incredible India... We remain like this for ever until we find one more Gandhi..

Kilimanoor, Travancore
Died October 2, 1906 (1906-10-03) (aged 58)
Kilimanoor, Travancore,India
Occupation Painter

Born April 29, 1848 (1848-04-29)Raja Ravi Varma (Malayalam: രാജാ രവി വര്‍മ) (April 29, 1848 - October 2, 1906) was an Indian painter from the princely state of Travancore who achieved recognition for his depiction of scenes from the epics of the Mahabharata and Ramayana. His paintings are considered to be among the best examples of the fusion of Indian traditions with the techniques of European academic art.

 

   

Raja Ravi Varma was born at Ravi Varma Koil Thampuran of Kilimanoor palace in the erstwhile princely state of Travancore in Kerala. His father Ezhumavail Neelakanthan Bhattatiripad was an accomplished scholar, and his mother Umayamba Thampuratti (d.1886) was a poet and writer whose work Parvati Swayamvaram would be published by Raja Ravi Varma after her death. His siblings were C. Goda Varma (b.1854), C. Raja Raja Varma (b.1860) and Mangala Bayi Thampuratti, who was also a painter. At a young age he secured the patronage of HH Maharajah Ayilyam Thirunal of Travancore, a relative, and began formal training thereafter 

Varma is most remembered for his paintings of beautiful sari-clad women, who were portrayed as shapely and graceful. His exposure in the west came when he won the first prize in the Vienna Art Exhibition in 1873. Raja Ravi Varma died in 1906 at the age of 58. He is considered among the greatest painters in the history of Indian art

HOW TO RENOUNCE WORLD

How to attain salvation? It is not easy for human beings, even Rishis find it difficult to attain salvation. But selfless devotees attain salvation even when they are chained in a link of worldly affairs. How can a man leave his desires when he follows another human being like a shadow holding a sting lens in his hand. He should renounce even the minute particle of desire in him that he should not follow any one even in his dreams. If he can’t do that he should not advice others on how to renounce world, how to renounce dreams, how to be detached. Let him first detach that lens he holds around his neck and leave all the worldly affairs. It is that now media and page three show piece columnists decide what  righteousness is. According to media standards famous writer Kamala Das is not a righteous woman. According to media standards she does not hold any moral standards or her morality is nil. If they could sting her (I think sting was not used as a weapon to finish of rivals during those days) this media would have gone to her bed room and scavenged her. Porn writers would have called her Osho through their sick and filthy columns, Page Three news papers would have called her a blue Peacock or blue bell or prostitute. They would have sliced her family and filthy columnist would have rubbished her. What to renounce? a human’s dignity to live a life or renounce a human’s voice against criminals. Dignity of a woman is not an ounce of liquor page three women hold in their hands to spread gossips. Media should learn that first. Kamala Das was not a sex starved intern; she was a love starved human being. Media Tycoons and their stingers should first learn to renounce their desires. Why people respect Param Veer Chakra over a purchasable Padmashree. It is better to die than to live a life of a coward hiding behing the borders.You rubbish yourself more in your printing and processing unit when you try to redeem other human beings. With diplomacy you don’t need to tell others to get lost.. With out any diplomacy renounce your self from that sting lens and go away. Do what you preach.

HOW GENTLE ARE YOU?????

How gentle are you to your fellow beings. People often say; be polite, humble and gentle but do they practice what they print and borrow from books. From their incredible vocabulary you can hear a lot of classy advices. But they come and call you Aftickans and expect you to be gentle. They come and call you a whore and expect you to be gentle. They cut you down in slices implant chemical explosives in your well kept gardens and expect you to be gentle. They chase, haunt, humiliate and thrash your integrity and expect you to be gentle. They hack and hire people to spread malignant rumors and expect you to be gentle. They try to teach you moral standards in their own terms and conditions. They are amazing group like this widow I see in Page three pictures. She was there in full page three, hugging many men in full smile immediately after her husband’s death. I was wondering why she did not wait for a month to show case herself in Page Three. No moral code bothers them because they rule this world by hook or by crook. There are even a few porn writers who teach moral codes through specimen columns. What moral do they have when they write porn for their survival? When you show a placard on your forehead printed on arrogance how you can expect gentle behavior. Why Indian cricketers are not gentle to Australian cricketers. It is a known fact that you can not be gentle with players of Australia.

 

In a wild world like that of the one turning around, I must say it is difficult to be gentle

FRAGRANCE OF CHANDAN

Books on philosophy are inspirational. The basic problem with philosophy is that for a few it is only to preach others but not to practice in life. They keep advising others on how to be kind and good to fellow human beings and give non stop lectures on how to forgive and forget in grace. When things go wrong in their life they prefer to practice the most criminal of things and misuse their not so honorable connections and power holds.. I have read one  article recently on how to choose friends. It is same  like how you take sandal wood paste in your hand it spreads fragrance and if it is cow dung it spreads a stench. The same way if I choose a friend who prefers to keep cow dung in his hand for sure he can  spread me and everywhere only a stench. When I go to a temple I get the most captivating fragrance of chandan paste and such fragrance we get from good friends. With experience I can endorse this that I don't need to have thousands of cow dung friends in life. 

I am happy and grateful to god that I have a handful of good friends who bring me fragrance of chandan; a precious handful, I must say.

SHOW MUST GO ON

An editorial "The Show does go on" in India's National Newspaper made me think over and again.. Why Media Duryodans allow Sakuni like Bal Thackeray to humiliate and rape India in open view of one billion population. Bal Thackeray, an ignorant man like Australia wastes his life for nothing good. Thackeray claims Mumbai is only for Mumbaikars. Australians smash the heads of Indians and cry Australia is only for Australians. . When Duryodan humiliated Princess Draupadi in the assembly of a kingdom Bhanumathi and Gandhari denounced it in silence. But modern Bhanumathys assist Duryodans to rape India or any one without a second thought. What more, this eight hundred or thousand journalist do only damage to India. But they can not rape India or Artists. That is the reason people of India received My name is Khan , not because of the make or kill attitude of media. India's national news paper should give priority to India's education, infrastructure and many such major developmental programs and should not go behind a Sakuny like Bal Thackeray or Page Three Media Groups who survive only on gossips. And when Draupadi was humiliated in an assembly of learned gurus and able administrators no one was there to protect except Lord Krishna.

People in power must understand that they can not purchase the entire earth or God. They can only purchase a publishing house but they can not silence the true India, incredible India. One lesson of life these modern Sakuny's and Duryodans must understand.... "You come to this world alone and go back alone and what matters at the end is how dignified you lived a life.

And " the Show must go on, incarnation of Kalki to reduce the burden of Earth. Let us wait and see.

STORY TELLERS

What makes a story teller different from a story stealer or robber? Story tellers are creative people with genius. They don't steal stories of others. They will not ransack or scavenge on human life.. Creative story writers take their own time, travel and with experience vast and deep as that of an ocean or that of earth, they enter into their creative workshop and create magic. But you find a different class of story creators these days like page three columnist with no quality to talk about. Their creative field is all about pickles or their maids who go to buy vegetables from Russell Market or about some slush they find in moon beam. Such people promote story stealers; random stings on victims and sell stories to international mafia writers with no class or standard. For a few, they do this for money, greed for money. When such greed comes into story stealers of that class they diminish from humans to devils. You find a lot of their stolen stories in bookstalls across the world. The entire operation is under the guidance of powerful media and publishing houses and most of the victims suffer even without their knowledge. This group survive through page three promotions and there nothing substantial you find in their creative productions apart from pickle or Russell market maids or a glass of gossip from their much publicized page three parties. People without virtues should not give lectures on that subject. A lesson all humans should keep in mind otherwise you reduce to the level of a story stealer.
