Read ON...

Bihar holds a prominent place in the intellectual and spiritual history of ancient Bharat. The region, particularly the ancient kingdoms of Magadha and Mithila, was a cradle of major religions, philosophies, and political thought.

Spiritual and Philosophical Hub 🕉️

Bihar is the birthplace of two of the world's major religions: Buddhism and Jainism.

  • Gautama Buddha attained enlightenment at Bodh Gaya and delivered his first sermon in Sarnath (near Varanasi, though his life and teachings are deeply tied to the region). The name "Bihar" itself is derived from the word "vihara," meaning a Buddhist monastery.


  • Mahavira, the 24th and last Tirthankara of Jainism, was born in Kundalagrama near Vaishali and achieved nirvana at Pawapuri, both located in Bihar.


  • The region was also a sacred destination for Sikhs, as Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru, was born in Patna.


  • The ancient kingdom of Mithila, the land of Mata Sita, was a renowned center of Vedic learning and philosophy. The court of King Janaka was a celebrated hub for scholarly debates and discussions, attracting thinkers from across ancient Bharat.


Intellectual Center and Educational Institutions 🎓

Ancient Bihar was home to some of the world's earliest and most prestigious universities, which attracted scholars from all over Asia.

  • Nalanda University, established in the 5th century CE, was one of the world's first residential universities. It was a renowned center for higher learning, with a vast library and a curriculum that included Buddhist philosophy, logic, medicine, mathematics, and astronomy.


  • Vikramashila University, founded by the Pala emperor Dharmapala in the 8th century, was another major center for Buddhist learning, particularly known for its Tantric studies.


  • Odantapuri University was also a significant monastic center established during the Pala Empire.

These institutions, along with the city of Pataliputra (modern Patna), attracted brilliant minds.


Notable Personalities

Bihar has produced a remarkable number of historical figures who shaped the course of Indian history and philosophy.

  • Chanakya (also known as Kautilya or Vishnugupta), the brilliant strategist and author of the Arthashastra, was a professor at Taxila and served as the chief advisor to Chandragupta Maurya, helping him establish the vast Mauryan Empire from its capital at Pataliputra.


  • Chandragupta Maurya and Emperor Ashoka, two of the greatest rulers of ancient India, were born in this region and ruled from Pataliputra.


  • The ancient mathematician and astronomer Aryabhata, who gave the world the concept of zero and calculated the value of pi, was born and worked in Pataliputra during the Gupta period.


  • Panini, the great grammarian who formulated the rules of Sanskrit grammar, is also associated with the region.


  • The poet and playwright Vatsyayana, author of the Kamasutra, is believed to have lived in Pataliputra.

The time is NOW...

Wake up from your slumber or you will miss the bus.

From Look East to Act East - how Modiji's prudence will counter 50% tariff of USA...


 

1. From Passive Observation to Active Engagement

  • Look East (1991–2014): Originated under Narasimha Rao, this policy focused on strengthening diplomatic and economic ties with ASEAN.
  • Act East (Post-2014): Modi turned this into an action-oriented policy, focusing on infrastructure, trade, defense, connectivity, and cultural ties with Southeast Asia, East Asia, and beyond.

Strategic Benefit: Diversifying India's economic dependencies away from the US and EU — especially in manufacturing, electronics, and strategic minerals.

 2. Trade Diversification as a Shield

Modi’s policy has opened up trade corridors and Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) with:

  • ASEAN nations
  • Japan, South Korea
  • Australia (through the Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement - ECTA)
  • UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Gulf countries (through CEPA and other agreements)

This diversifies export markets, reducing excess reliance on the USA.

Example: If the US imposes a 50% tariff on Indian textiles, India can increase exports to Vietnam, Indonesia, and UAE, which now offer favorable market access.

3. Act East + Infrastructure = Supply Chain Resilience

Under Act East:

  • Development of Kaladan Multimodal Project and India-Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway
  • Investments in ports and industrial corridors in Northeast India
  • Integration into regional value chains (e.g., electronics, automotive, semiconductors)

These boost India’s role as a production + logistics hub, especially for companies exiting China.

Result: Even if the US closes a trade window, India’s East-facing supply chains stay open.

 4. Strategic Balancing with the Global South

India leads Global South summits and South-South cooperation, advocating fairer global trade rules.

5. Energy and Currency Security from the East

  • Oil purchases from UAE and Russia are increasingly in rupees.
  • Digital payment systems (like UPI) are being exported to Singapore, Bhutan, UAE, reducing dollar dependence.
  • Critical minerals cooperation with Australia, Indonesia, and Mongolia for EV and semiconductor industries.

India builds trade autonomy, insulating it from dollar-based shocks or tariff pressure.

6. Building Export-Led Self-Reliance (Atmanirbhar + Act East)

Modi’s strategy combines:

  • PLI (Production Linked Incentives) to boost export competitiveness
  • Act East to find buyers and partners
  • FTA negotiations to open preferential access

If the US shuts the door with tariffs, India’s newly built industries can still find profitable markets elsewhere.

Conclusion: A Smart Counterstrategy to US Protectionism

While a 50% US tariff may appear devastating, India under Modi has quietly and strategically built a multi-vector, East-oriented, resilient economic strategy:

- Trade ties beyond the West
- Defense + diplomacy in Indo-Pacific
- Energy + financial autonomy
- Rising leadership in Global South
- Infrastructure linking India to Southeast Asia

Modiji’s Act East is not just foreign policy — it’s future-proofing India's economy. The West may build tariff walls, but India is already building bridges — to ASEAN, to the Indo-Pacific, to Africa, and to the future.

From Rupee to Petrodollar: The Truth Behind Bharat’s Currency, Gulf Trade, and the Global Dollar Order - Bharat deserves the TRUTH...

1. India’s Historic Rupee Ties with the Middle East

In the decades after independence, the Indian rupee wasn’t just a national currency—it was *the* regional currency across the Gulf. Countries like Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, and Qatar all used it for trade.

The Gulf Rupee

To prevent gold smuggling and black-market losses, India introduced a **special 'Gulf Rupee' in 1959**—valid only outside its borders. This was a clever move to separate domestic currency stability from international misuse.

2. 1966: Indira Gandhi Devalues the Rupee

India faced twin crises:

- Costly wars with China and Pakistan

- Economic drought and trade deficits

The rupee was fixed at ₹4.76 = $1 since 1949. But under pressure from the IMF and foreign lenders, **Prime Minister Indira Gandhi devalued the rupee by 57% to ₹7.50 per dollar on June 6, 1966**.

> This caused outrage. Parliament saw walkouts. Kamaraj called it a betrayal. But it stabilized the economy.

By 1970, India’s trade deficit dropped, and the **Green Revolution** improved food production.

3. The Rise of the Petrodollar

In 1971, the U.S. abandoned the gold standard. The dollar was no longer pegged to gold.

By 1973, **global oil trade shifted entirely to USD payments**. This “Petrodollar” system created:

- Permanent demand for U.S. dollars

- Control of global trade flows through American financial institutions

**Oil-rich countries earned billions in USD**, and recycled it into global markets—cementing U.S. dominance.

4. India’s Place in This Story

- **Gulf countries ditched the rupee** after India’s 1966 devaluation.

- **Kuwait launched its dinar (1961), Bahrain (1965), Oman (1970)**.

India, which once anchored regional finance, became **a dollar-dependent importer of oil**.

Reflections: Why This Matters

| Topic | Then | Now |

|----------------------|------------------------------|------------------------------|

| Currency in Gulf | Indian Rupee | Local Gulf currencies |

| Oil Trade | Bilateral or rupee-based | USD-dominated (petrodollar) |

| India's strategy | Export-led, domestic control | Dollar-reliant |

| Current shift | Gulf deals in rupees | Rise of rupee-internationalization |

India is now returning to rupee-denominated oil and gold trades (e.g., with UAE), attempting to break free from 50 years of dollar dominance.

5. The People of Bharat Deserve the Truth…

This is not just economic history. It’s about lost sovereignty, external pressure, and a long journey to monetary independence.

The world is shifting. And Bharat must reclaim its economic narrative.

The Rawalpindi Experiments: A Colonial Whitewash of Chemical Warfare...

Hidden in Archives: Mustard Gas on Indian Soldiers

In the 1930s and 1940s, British army scientists from Porton Down conducted forced medical experiments on hundreds of Indian soldiers, exposing them to mustard gas in gas chambers at a military facility in Rawalpindi (now in Pakistan). These trials were part of a broader program testing chemical weapons efficiency and dosage for battlefield use. Over a span of more than a decade, these soldiers—wearing only shorts and cotton shirts—were subjected to blistering mustard gas, causing severe burns, painful hospitalization, and no follow-up health tracking.

Ethical Violations & Colonial Power Dynamics

Records suggest many of these soldiers were unlikely to have given informed consent, especially under colonial coercion. Lawyers representing British experiment subjects later remarked they’d be astonished if Indian soldiers agreed meaningfully to participate if fully informed inkling the exploitative imbalance of power of the era. Mustard gas, now known to be carcinogenic, was never studied for its long-term health effects on these subjects—many of whom were left to suffer without redress or documentation.

Memory, Recognition, and Official Denial

For decades, these experiments remained buried. After a 2007 Guardian report based on National Archive documents, awareness grew—but official apology or accountability has been sparse. Porton Down framed them as defensive research from a different era, implicitly asking contemporary readers not to judge harshly.


The Whitewashing of Colonial History

This isn’t an isolated instance. Across colonized regions, brutal experiments, forced labor, and systemic violence were often hidden, dismissed, or later reframed in sanitized historical narratives. These omissions contribute to an enduring whitewash of colonial atrocities.


Why This Matters Today

  • Historical Justice: Recognizing these experiments is vital for healing and accountability.

  • Colonial Legacy: Challenging sanitized histories fosters a more honest conversation about the past.

  • Ethical Vigilance: Such cases highlight the necessity for strict human rights protections in science and military research.


Reflection

The Rawalpindi mustard gas tests stand as a stark example: colonized people forced into traumatic experiments under a regime that never cared for their long-term wellbeing. Today, we must question what else remains concealed—and why it’s so important to uncover and remember.

So here’s me …

My question to God…

O Lord, age after age You send messengers
to this merciless world;
They taught: “Forgive all”, “Love one another—
Purge hatred from your heart.”
Honored they were, memorable they remain—
Yet today in trouble, their bowed homage at our doorstep fails.

I have seen hidden violence in the cloak of deceitful night
against the defenseless.
I have seen injustice unopposed, and the voice of justice quietly weeping
in secret.
I have seen young boys driven to madness,
dashing their heads on stones in agony and dying.

Today my voice is stilled, my flute has lost its music;
In the darkness of no-moon nights,
My world has sunk beneath nightmares;
Thus I ask You with tearful eyes—
Those who poisoned the air You breathed,
And extinguished Your light—
Have You pardoned them, Lord?

Here's my effort to recite the poem, Proshno (Question to God)

The gist of Hinduism - Soul is immortal - doesn't it remind us about the conservation of Mass and Energy of modern physics - it's time for Bharat to embrace Sanskrit....


The idea that the soul is immortal in Hinduism can be intriguingly compared with modern scientific principles like the conservation of mass and energy. While the domains are different — metaphysical vs physical — the philosophical resonance between them is worth exploring.

Hindu View: Soul Is Eternal and Imperishable

In Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 2, Verse 20):

"na jāyate mriyate vā kadācin..."

"The soul is never born and never dies; it is eternal, ever-existing, and primeval. It is not slain when the body is slain."

Key concepts:

  • Ātman (⤆⤤्ā¤Žā¤¨्) = The individual soul

  • Immortal: Not subject to birth or death

  • Transcendental: Beyond the physical body and matter

  • Cycles of birth and rebirth (Saᚃsāra), but the ātman itself remains unchanged

Modern Science: Conservation Laws

1. Conservation of Mass-Energy (Einstein’s Equivalence)

E=mc2E = mc^2

  • Matter and energy are interchangeable

  • In any closed system, mass-energy is never created or destroyed — it only transforms

  • After death, the body's mass returns to the environment (soil, gases, etc.), and its energy dissipates as heat, motion, etc.

2. First Law of Thermodynamics

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed.

3. ∇⋅U=0, for non-compressible fluid in CFD

Philosophical Similarity

Hinduism (Ātman) Modern Physics (Mass/Energy)
Soul is never created or destroyed Energy/mass is never created or destroyed
Soul changes bodies (rebirth) Energy changes forms (heat, light, motion)
Body is temporary; soul persists Objects decay, but mass-energy persists
Soul is subtle, invisible Energy is abstract, invisible but measurable

Spiritual vs Scientific Lens

Aspect Hinduism (Metaphysical) Science (Physical)
Subject         Soul (Ātman)                 Mass, Energy
Measurability No (based on inner experience)             Yes (quantifiable)
Immortality Eternal existence beyond time         Conservation across physical processes
Framework Vedanta, Yoga, Gita         Physics, Thermodynamics, Relativity

Deeper Interpretive Parallel

  • Just as energy transforms without loss, the soul transmigrates without ending.

  • Death is not destruction — it is transition, in both models:

    • In physics: from matter to heat/light/sound

    • In spirituality: from one body to another (rebirth)

Final Reflection

While Hinduism’s soul is not material, and science does not comment on the metaphysical, both present a worldview in which essence is preserved and only appearances change.

So:

"Nothing truly ends — it only transforms." 


This principle, whether found in the Gita or the laws of physics, continues to inspire both spiritual seekers and scientific minds alike.

The Silent Takeover: How Global Capital Is Hijacking Bharat's Pharma and Healthcare

In the shadows of gleaming hospital towers and billion-dollar pharma deals, a silent and dangerous transformation is unfolding across Bharat’s healthcare landscape. What was once a noble profession led by doctors and governed by ethics is slowly becoming a cold, calculated business run by balance sheets, profit targets, and global equity investors.

This is not just a corporate story — this is a crisis of civilization.

The Rise of Global Equity in Bharat’s Healthcare

Over the last decade, India has witnessed a steady inflow of private equity and foreign capital into the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors. Hospitals, diagnostics labs, pathology chains, and even neighborhood clinics are being bought, merged, and repackaged into investor-friendly assets.

While this may sound like modernization or economic growth, the reality on the ground is far more sinister.

The soul of healthcare is being sold.

Doctors Turned Into Targets-Driven Employees

When investors run hospitals, profit becomes the product — not healing. Doctors, regardless of their oath to serve, are increasingly turned into employees who must meet monthly financial targets. These could include:

  • Prescribing more tests
  • Recommending expensive surgeries
  • Pushing branded drugs
  • Referring patients for specialist procedures even when not necessary

The result? Patients are no longer seen as lives to be cared for, but as revenue streams.

The Disturbing Trend of Medical Experimentation

Some hospitals, under financial pressure to increase margins, may begin engaging in experimental treatments without proper oversight or patient consent. This can include:

  • Off-label use of unapproved drugs
  • Pushing Western pharma companies’ trial drugs
  • Conducting clinical trials with weak ethical frameworks
  • Disguising tests and treatments as “research”

In short, Bharat risks becoming a global lab where the poor and unaware are used as test subjects — because regulations here are easier to bend and oversight is often toothless.

From Health to Wealth: Capitalism Gone Rogue

This is not the capitalism of Adam Smith, where a fair market promotes innovation and wellbeing. This is something darker — a hyper-capitalist nightmare where:

  • Quarterly profits override human dignity
  • Shareholder interests silence medical ethics
  • Financial instruments decide what treatments are available and to whom

It’s no longer about “healthcare for all” — it’s about healthcare for those who can pay the most.

A Nation at Risk

If this trend continues, Bharat risks becoming a two-tier healthcare society:

  1. A luxury model for the rich, run by investor-backed hospitals
  2. A trial-and-error playground for the poor, run by cost-cutting clinics and experimental setups

Medical students will graduate into target-driven roles, not service-minded professions. Trust in healthcare will erode. And the common Indian will be left wondering — is my doctor working for my health, or for their bonus?

What Can We Do?

We must reclaim the soul of our healthcare system. This means:

  • Stronger regulation of private equity in healthcare
  • Encouraging doctor-led cooperatives and hospitals
  • Transparency in pricing and mandatory disclosure of ownership structures
  • Public investment in rural and semi-urban health infrastructure
  • Patient rights charters and legal recourse for malpractice
  • Whistleblower protection for ethical doctors and healthcare workers

Final Words: Profit Must Never Trump People

The real crisis isn't in the stethoscope — it’s in the spreadsheet.

The moment we allow profit to override care, targets to replace trust, and capital to colonize compassion, we cease to be a civilization. We become just another market — one where bodies are monetized, diseases are business opportunities, and ethics are optional.

Let us resist this hijack. Let us rebuild a Bharat where healthcare is not a business — but a sacred duty.
