• Muslim Corridor:

Back in the mid 20th century when the whole world was in awe with mainstream media's appraisal of Gandhian ideologies like "sacrifice" and "turning the other cheek", the same ideologies were turning out to be highly detrimental for India's future.

Contd..

As Gandhi was determined to go the extra mile in appeasing certain sections. The best example which illustrates this point is none other than that of his nod for Jinnah's idea of a "Muzl!m corridor"!

When the British had finally come up with the latest maps related to partition, Jinnah was furious, since the parts of Indian subcontinent which went into the formation of Pakistan were much smaller than, thus giving rise to his infamous phrase "Moth eaten Pakistan".

The story of "India's biggest betrayal" goes back all the way to 1970s, when Morarji Desai had finally managed to fulfill his long cherished dream of becoming the PM.

Contd..

The geopolitical situation back then was highly volatile, since Pakistan was desperately trying to develop nuclear weap0ns.

Interestingly, our RAW officers (who were operaring as spies in various parts of Pakistan) had already managed to find out details of how and where exactly their nuclear weap0n was developed.

When the devastating second wave hit India, he was rightly questioned for lack of preparedness and an approach that was unscientific. Being the leader of the government, his approach indeed caught the country off guard, and led to a humanitarian crisis.

Contd..

Continuing with election rallies, festivals, lack of focus on sequencing, not paying heed to scientific advice for preventive measures further compounded the problem that the devastating delta variant posed.

This is what separates a good, strong and sensitive leader from one who isn't. He corrected the course very quickly. Realising the scale of catastrophe that hit India in the last part of April, he provided the leadership the country required.

"I go into the Upanishads to ask questions." - Niels Bohr

During our schooldays, we were taught about the extensive contributions of western scientists like Niels Bohr, who had come up with theories related to atomic structure, wave-particle concepts, etc.

cont'd..

However, one vital aspect which our school textbooks forgot to mention was that most of his research was deeply influenced by our Vedas & Upanishads!

Despite being born & brought up in a Chr!stian environment in Europe, Bohr had started showing interest in ancient Indian scriptures during his research as scientist from 1920s.

THREAD: #GaneshChaturthi

Why do we immerse Lord Ganesha idol into water after worshipping it?

- In India, for thousands of years Hindus have made idols and then immersed them in water. Many foreigners feel it is a strange thing to do.

Contd..

Why is the God Ganesha decorated ceremoniously and worshipped lovingly for several days and then immersed in the sea, river, or lake? There is a beautiful concept behind this immersion.

The real secret of worship is in making an idol and then letting it disappear; giving a shape and form to the idol, and then letting it vanish onto the formless. It is all symbolic, the act of making an idol of Lord Ganesha, worshipping it, and then immersing it in water.
