IITians are refusing to join ISRO - the role of schools to instil the sense of patriotism - the role of parenthood...

ISRO is finding it difficult to recruit IITians. According to the chairman of ISRO, Somanath, 60% of the IITians opt out from ISRO recruitment drive because of the low salary structure, 

It has forced me to think if we should overhaul our education system in Bharat. I feel sorry to say that our schools have been completely captured by the Christian missionaries. In this age of consumerism, the role of schools to build the character of the young children is of utmost importance.

The role of parents is also very important in this matter. We have to break free from the mindset that the goal of life is just earning enough money and living a lavish life.

We must instill a deep sense of patriotism right inside the minds of our young children if we want to recreate Bharat. And this is only possible by teaching them the right history - not the falsified history written by some leftist historians. 

Not only this, we must unite Bharat and for that, a common language is must... It's high time we make Sanskrit the national language...

Let's discard Unity in diversity and welcome Unity in Unison... 

and let Sanskrit be that unifying thread across Bharat...

Let there be harmony among us.... in a true sense...

Let our body, mind and senses be in synchronicity with the purpose of nation building... 

Let's feel a sense of pride as a Bhartiya scientist serving our motherland...

Life is not just salary and job... It has a bigger purpose. Everyone in this universe is sent with a purpose. But one has to find out that purpose on his own - and i am sure that purpose can never be just doing a job and spending the whole life as wage-slaves.

The lofty ambition to serve the nation must be instilled in the minds of the children of Bharat. 

Come ON.... guys...

At the end of our lives, we must ask ourselves...

Not what the nation has done to us... but what we have done for the nation...

Wake up - the Hindus of Bharat and capture...

Reclaiming whoweare...

 

The Cancer Train of Punjab.... Humans of Bharat.... please wake up.... or else....

Green revolution!!! right?

Huh...

The same thing will happen if we don't stop pushing EV right now...The battery wastage will pollute the ground water beyond repair.

Wake up...

Humans of Bharat...

The term "Cancer Train" of Punjab refers to a tragic phenomenon where a significant number of cancer patients from the Malwa region of Punjab, India, travel to the city of Bikaner in Rajasthan for treatment. This region has witnessed unusually high cancer rates, often attributed to pesticide exposure, poor water quality, and environmental pollution from agricultural practices.

Pesticide Usage: 

Punjab’s agricultural landscape is characterised by extensive use of pesticides, which has had severe health impacts. Over the decades, the Green Revolution, which introduced high-yield crops along with fertilisers and pesticides, led to soil and water contamination. Residents of the Malwa region, known as the "cotton belt" of Punjab, are particularly affected due to intensive cotton cultivation, which involves high pesticide use .

Train from Bathinda to Bikaner: 

Many cancer patients travel on the train from Bathinda (a city in the Malwa region) to Bikaner, where the Acharya Tulsi Regional Cancer Treatment and Research Institute offers affordable cancer treatment. This train, sometimes called the “Cancer Train” or “Cancer Express,” has become symbolic of the region’s health crisis.

Water Contamination: 

The groundwater in many areas of Malwa is reported to contain high levels of toxins, including heavy metals, pesticides, and uranium. This contamination, combined with air pollution from burning crop residues, has been linked to the increasing cancer rates.

Here's the nemo of the society is just doing his duty to awaken the people of Bharat.

The modern day H1B visa holders - are there any similarities between Indian Indentured Laborers of the British empire and H1B holders......

The comparison between Indian indentured laborers of the 19th and early 20th centuries and modern-day H-1B visa holders in the United States is complex, as these two groups operate under very different historical, economic, and social conditions. However, there are parallels as well as critical distinctions.

Here are some details of indentured labors from Bharat...

Girmit...

The term "Girmit" is derived from the word "agreement" and refers to the system of indentured labor under which Indian workers were recruited to work on plantations and other industries in British colonies during the 19th and early 20th centuries. These workers, known as "Girmityas", were primarily sent to places like Fiji, Mauritius, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, South Africa, and other parts of the British Empire to fill the labor shortage after the abolition of slavery.

Girmit... ‘A document to deceive innocent people into slavery’

What made the indenture contract, often called ‘girmit’, so dangerous for the indentured?

The modern day H1B holders... do you understand it when you are forced to sign a bond agreement before your visa sponsoring company send you to USA? Girmit in the modern context...

the tradition is still going on...

Wake up... please.... the time is NOW...

The ‘girmit’ had the imprints of desperate people who had left due to dire situations back home. They were told they’d get food, lodging and medical facilities. They were also told that they’d get passage back to their countries after service for two to three years. But the contract didn’t say all this. They were never told they’d have to cultivate sugar, which they weren’t used to. No medical facilities or lodging was provided to the indentured, just some basic breakfast and dinner. The British used to say that ‘girmit’ distinguished slavery and indenture. But it was a document to deceive innocent people into slavery. It was a farce. Sometimes it was written in French, but usually in English. The people putting their thumb marks knew neither. In reality, the period of indenture would be 10 years, during which the indentured would be tied to the plantations in the Caribbean, Mauritius or Fiji. Even when they somehow got time off, they weren’t allowed to leave the plantation and were escorted throughout. In Fiji, they tried to put the indentured people and the slaves against each other. The browns were kept away from the

blacks, in an apartheid-esque system. They weren’t allowed to interact or intermarry and their children couldn’t go to the same schools. It was the typical British policy of divide and rule,

involving partitioning land and people.

The British had tried to get the Chinese, too. 

The British had a misconception that Indians were meek and docile people, good at taking orders and asking no questions. They also believed that the Chinese were undisciplined opium addicts who weren’t hardworking. All this is documented.

In Mauritius, a tiny community of Chinese was recruited in the early stages of indenture and then stopped. Because the Chinese refused to go. But the Indians continued to go because of their dire economic circumstances and possibly to save money for their families back home. Plus, many of them died on the plantations, too. The British initially took only men. But later they changed it by having 60 women for every 40 men. Women weren’t willing to go in such numbers, and that’s when the kidnapping spree began.

So what was the general experience of the indentured like on the long voyages that took them from India to other British colonies?

It was a horrible experience. Many died on the way, often by contracting cholera. If you fell ill, there was a chance you’d be thrown overboard. The food that was given was inadequate. It was

canned food, the kind Indians weren’t used to. Plus, the spaces were small and tight and the conditions were unsanitary. However, as a result of their struggle, the indentured people also formed bonds on board. Caste, food and other barriers were cast aside as the survivors became each other’s jahaji bhais and jahaji behens.

Wake up... The Hindus of Bharat...

Open your eyes.... enough servility.... enough slavery...

And now... read from an H1B holder (taken from Quora) - the feelings of a guest worker in USA...

Read.... Read...

1. Do not get used to American way of life or American attitude to life. You do not belong to their country, you are just a guest worker. Remember this every month, you will feel a little less bad if they ask you to leave.

2. That said, do not go super-cheap. Live a little.

3. Also, you are a guest worker. The word “guest” is as important as “worker”. Do not do things you would not expect guests to do.

4. DO NOT TRUST YOUR EMPLOYER. DO NOT TRUST THEIR LAWYERS.

5. Be aware of the laws that are designed to protect you. Be aware of the laws that were designed so that opportunist lawyers can sue employers. Just in case.

6. Related to #5, keep backup of all employer/client communications somewhere in the cloud. I have managed to avoid two different threats by citing old communication that could bring very unwelcome attention from department of labor (I never had to spell it explicitly to them).

7. Be ready to change your job. Just because you have fallen in love with your employer, your employer would not stop considering you a cost-center worthy of optimization. You, the foreigner exist in their office because their perfect business process operate in an imperfect world. Folks with MBA degree spend more money in figuring out ways to fire you than they spend in paying you and running your payroll. Why? It is a great mystery to me, even after 12 years.

8.Do not fall in love. In fact, if H1B is your target, finish the fall-in-love business in your home country. Doing courtship while staying on H1B is a nasty way to live your life. It also costs way too much. Also, do not fall in love with US citizen of any race. Divorce would be nasty and expensive. Have seen friends go through it.

9. Keep your skills updated. And keep hopping job. Demanding stability is a human thing but it is not for you, dear H1B holder. Better make peace with that.

10. Always look for cash (not stock options, chance of deportation is exceedingly higher when stock market goes down), negotiate well and never sacrifice more money in search for better title or promise for a faster green card processing. Not worth it.

11. If #1-#10 look cynical, adjust your mindset...

The grass on the other side always seems to be greener...

So.... please wake up...

Olympic 2024 - reading between the lines - just symbolism?

Lyrics...

"And I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder
One of the four beasts saying,
'Come and see.' and I saw, and behold a white horse"

There's a man goin' 'round takin' names
And he decides who to free and who to blame
Everybody won't be treated all the same
There'll be a golden ladder reachin' down
When the man comes around

The hairs on your arm will stand up
At the terror in each sip and in each sup
Will you partake of that last offered cup
Or disappear into the potter's ground?
When the man comes around

Hear the trumpets hear the pipers
One hundred million angels singin'
Multitudes are marchin' to the big kettledrum
Voices callin', voices cryin'
Some are born and some are dyin'
It's alpha and omega's kingdom come
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree
The virgins are all trimming their wicks
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks

Till armageddon no shalam, no shalom
Then the father hen will call his chickens home
The wise man will bow down before the throne
And at his feet they'll cast their golden crowns
When the man comes around

Whoever is unjust let him be unjust still
Whoever is righteous let him be righteous still
Whoever is filthy let him be filthy still
Listen to the words long written down
When the man comes around

Hear the trumpets hear the pipers
One hundred million angels singin'
Multitudes are marchin' to the big kettledrum
Voices callin', voices cryin'
Some are born and some are dyin'
It's alpha and omega's kingdom come
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree
The virgins are all trimming their wicks
The whirlwind is in the thorn trees
It's hard for thee to kick against the prick
In measured hundredweight and penny pound
When the man comes around

"And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts
And I looked, and behold a pale horse
And his name that sat on him was death, and hell followed with him"

Is there any message hidden at France Olympics?

The following text has been taken from ChatGPT.

Johnny Cash's song "The Man Comes Around" is a powerful and reflective piece with deep spiritual and apocalyptic themes. The song, which is one of Cash's later works, delves into the concepts of judgment and redemption, drawing heavily from Christian eschatology and the Book of Revelation in the Bible.

Key Themes and Meaning

1. Biblical References:

   • The song is filled with imagery and references from the Book of Revelation, the final book of the New Testament that describes the end times and the second coming of Christ. For instance, the song opens with a spoken word segment quoting Revelation 6:1-2 about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

2. Judgment Day:

   • The central theme of the song is Judgement Day, when "the man" (interpreted as Jesus Christ or an angel of God) comes to judge the living and the dead. It speaks to the inevitability of this day and the ultimate accountability of all souls.

3. Universal Reach:

   • Cash's lyrics suggest that no one is exempt from this judgement, touching on the universal nature of this event. Lines such as "There'll be a golden ladder reaching down" and "The hairs on your arm will stand up" evoke the awe and fear associated with the divine judgement.

4. Reflection on Mortality:

   • The song also serves as a reflection on mortality and the moral state of humanity. Cash's delivery, imbued with his own experiences and gravitas, adds a layer of personal contemplation about life, death, and what lies beyond.

5. Symbolism of the Horsemen:

   • The Four Horsemen mentioned in the song symbolize conquest, war, famine, and death, representing the various trials and tribulations that accompany the end times. Cash uses these symbols to paint a vivid picture of the apocalyptic vision.

Impact and Reception

• Personal Significance:

  • For Cash, this song was particularly significant as it was written during a period of his life when he was grappling with health issues and reflecting deeply on his own faith and mortality.

• Cultural Impact:

  • The song has been widely acclaimed for its haunting melody and profound lyrics. It resonates with listeners for its raw emotional power and the weighty themes it addresses.

• Musical Style:

  • "The Man Comes Around" blends elements of country, folk, and gospel, staying true to Cash's roots while also delivering a message with universal appeal.

My dual role - as a father and a computer science teacher of my son...

It's raining cats and dogs at Purulia.

Great atmosphere.

I am of the opinion that the lifestyle quality at rural places of Bharat is much better than that of a congested city.

While enjoying the rain through the window with a cup of tea I feel happy and satisfied - as a computer science teacher of my son - while watching him picking up new areas of computer science absolutely on his own.

I am happy to announce that my son, Ridit has mastered the 3D modelling software called Blender absolutely on his own.

And now he has started exploring Java FX - and in this journey too, he is going solo - without much help from me.

What else does a Guru want? 

Watching his son advancing in a complicated subject of Computer Science.

And for me...

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,   

But I have promises to keep,   

And miles to go before I sleep,   

And miles to go before I sleep.

And my promise to Lord Shiva is to raise my son as a future

computer scientist working for Bharat...

Jai Hind... Jai Bharat...

Here are Ridit's latest works on JavaFX...

Many more to come...

Enjoy...

Judicial system in Bharat - who is going to bell the Cat...

The visual advertisements work as a mirror to reflect the current societal norms and trends. In our early days of DD of Bharat, there were many great pieces of visual adv which we still remember.

For example, who could ever forget the Rasna ad, the Dunlop tyre ad, the Bajaj scooter ad, the Laal Dantamanjon ad and so many - their creativity through visual advertisement was unparalleled.

After more than 7 decades of independence from British rules, if one thing all of us wholeheartedly want  is the reform of our judicial system.

Watch this beautiful ad campaign done by Greenply which depicts so nicely the concept of Tarikh pe tarikh of Judicial system of Bharat...

If we want to rise as a developed nation, our judiciary must be reformed. This needs 2/3rd majority in both the houses of the parliament.

Come ON... Humans of Bharat...

Raise your concern....

Or else...

suffer till you die...
