Tibet - India's Dilemma

Tibet remains one of those difficult diplomatic and political, and moral challenges for the world. This is even more so, for India.

Since China's defeat of independent Tibetan army in 1949 and the signing of an business transaction by the then Tibetan government, the situation has been rife for difference and conflict: The government of China recognizes Tibet as autonomous provincial entity of the mainland China but the government of Tibet in Exile seeks independence for Tibet. And there are other disputes which comprise what constitutes Tibet i.e. The geography of Tibet.

News From India

India has always been involved in this dispute. Dalai Lama who is the symbolic head of the Tibet government in exile was welcomed to India in 1950's and since then the Dalai Lama has made Dharma Shala (in India) his home. Of course, the government of China has been very displeased with this arrangement. Furthermore, in China's view Tibet also includes Arunachala Pradesh -- a province in India.

Thus there are many issues of possible dispute in the middle of India and China with regard to Tibet. However, over time China and India have let the status quo prevail for the sake of peace. Both countries have been focused on economic growth and development.

However, the forthcoming Olympic games in summer, and Tibet's recent energetic and loud demands and protests all over the world for independence and Dalai Lama's nuanced stance (of both supporting the Olympic games and the aspirations of the Tibetans for independence) in the context of long-standing retain of India for Dalai Lama has made it a knotty situation.

Here is the crux of the issue: should India be focused on its immediate national interests based on evaluation of geo-political, territorial, economic and security issues? Or should India be an agent for fostering religious and cultural free time and diversity consistent with its traditions (even if it led to serious consequences to immediate political and economic interests)? The talk to these questions will decide India's response to the current Tibetan turmoil along with the relay of Olympic torch in New Delhi later in April.

Teleprompter in Chief Comes to India - How Embarrassing undoubtedly

Some Americans believed that President Bush was an embarrassment abroad, yet, he indeed wasn't - he brought dignity and American values with him, even if the socialist liberal press attacked his personal character and went ape-waste when he mispronounced a word here and there. Every person knew what he meant, but that's how the press operates. Together with the world press who trashed him as well for sticking up for what was right.

Now, however, we see our current teleprompter in chief going to India to speak to its parliament, and instead of speaking from the heart, he will be using this electronic gadget with measured words. In that case, that's all they will be seen as; just words and nothing else, hollow words of no meaning or value. How can this be accepted for an American President - I ask?

News From India

A indeed troubling news description recently appeared in Dna or Daily News and Analysis; "Teleprompter to Make Its Debut in Parliament when Obama Speaks," written on October 27, 2010. Apparently, President Obama will use a teleprompter in India's parliament when he goes to speak in their country according to this article; "A teleprompter will be in use for the first time in the Central Hall of Parliament when Us President Barack Obama addresses Mps on November eight."

Indeed, as a think tank member it seems the Obama supervision is breaking a cardinal sin of culture in doing this. Even though this will be less than a 20-minute speech, the President is using a teleprompter. I bet the Indians see this as a slap in the face and false character - a less genuine Us President. In my professional geo-political opinion, this is very, very wrong. If our President cannot make a speech without a teleprompter, he shouldn't make any.

Further, why does the Us need a President who cannot or will not speak his mind, or cannot allege his true feelings, without fear of looking bad? Please think this - we live in a great nation, we need a great leader. This is not working out, we need new blood, and we need to vote ourselves a good leader in the Us.

Life In India during The Rains

The most foremost event in the Indian year is the monsoon. India is an agricultural country, and the year's crops depend on the character of the rainy season. A good monsoon means prosperity, but an excess of rain means destructive floods, and the failure of the monsoon spells drought and famine. The monsoon or trade winds, reach India about the month of June. Arrival as they do over thousands of miles of sea, they are laden with moisture; and when they meet the cool heights of the Western Ghats, and later the Himalayas, clouds form, which soon dehydrate in heavy rain.

In a good monsoon, the rainy season continues until about the end of September. How eagerly the monsoon is looked for! Before it breaks, the heat is well-nigh intolerable. Day after day the sun blazes down from an unclouded sky. The ground is baked and parched, the air is like the blast of a furnace, in many places water is scarce, and men and animals gasp and pant in the heart. At last a thunder-storm rolls up from the south-west and, with lightning, thunder and wind, the welcome rain pours down.

News From India

The change is approximately magical. The air becomes delightfully cool and moist; the sun's heat is day by day moderated by clouds; the dry, parched land is quickly covered with green vegetation; and life becomes bearable. Except, however, when it is in effect raining, it is still hot in the rainy season; but the heat is not fierce and dry, but steamy and sticky. The farmers now begin to be busy, sloughing and showing the rain-soaked land for the kharif, or autumn, corps. The rainy season, though a pleasant relief from the fierce heat, has its disadvantages. Swarms of insects appear, flying ants, flies, mosquitoes, etc., which often make life a burden. And the mosquitoes, bred by the million in the standing pools, bring malarial fever with them. And other more terrible diseases, like cholera, work havoc among the poor. But the peasants much prefer to put up with these inconveniences than a failure of the rains, which means famine.

Thousands and thousands of poor citizen earn their daily bread by hawking. It is a very useful self-employment which can be started with a very small estimate of money. There is no harm in earning one's bread and butter by hawking. Government should try to help them by giving loans on cheap rates of interest. Their lot should be improved as citizens of the country. As hawkers, they render a useful service. Instead of becoming a burden on the society, they sustain themselves and their families by adopting this profession. So far no collective group or government division has done whatever to organise them.

Why India Can Never Be China!

My India.

Since the past 2 years I have been hearing how China is on the fast track to becoming a superpower and am always mental why are we lagging behind? Why can't our government do what the Chinese are doing? construction superb infrastructures, stringent habitancy control rules, greater standard of living, reduction of poverty, unemployment and what not.

News From India

But a news a few days back opened my eyes that all this is being done at a great cost.

A Chinese lady 8 months pregnant was made to forcibly abort her child because it was her second baby. Millions of habitancy are made homeless in the name of developing infrastructure,no freedom of press (speech and expression), no freedom to sell or buy what is yours.

True my nation does not have super infrastructure or is not on a fast track towards amelioration but I feel free in my country. I am not scared to express what I feel. True we also have a habitancy that is beyond control but we perceive the value of life of a baby to a mum and her happiness even though its her fifth child. I have Facebook, Orkut or even Sata Banta and can write or speak whatever I want straight through blogs or press.

We do not need to assess ourselves with anyone, we should be proud of whatever we have. My country values humanity, freedom and love, the very basic essence of human life. I love my country and am proud to be an Indian.

Child sacrifice

Child cut and India, these two things can we combined. Recently Pune police realized that the child abductions were not ordinary. Something more serious is behind these abductions. On more interrogation police realized that the child was abducted for cut and not for money. This is in fact very shocking news. Country which is progressing so fast still has the rituals like child sacrifice. Moreover this is not the single case. Within last few years, we have seen lot of these types of cases from separate part of India.
Most of the time the sacrifices were done by females and not by the males. How a woman can do this to the other woman.

According to the story revealed by the police, the child was taken to the temple made in the one room of house. Lady there performed the rituals for some time and then mercilessly killed the child. This is the clear show of cruelty. The lady has given the intuit for doing this is having her own child. Why this kind of degrading has come up in our values. Why we are so selfish. Lady has killed the child of other for getting her own. Police say the lady is mentally retarded. But the actual case is not like so. This is the degradation of our values. We are becoming extremely selfish day by day. We are implicated with our self. With the other's grief we are not concerned. Lady has never opinion what will happen to the mother of child. One more interesting thing which is coming out is most of cases the complicated someone in cut is known one. Child is chosen with most concern for cut and it is tried that the child for cut should be like the child which is desired. in fact how cruel it is, killing some one same which you like.

News From India

Secondly a major cause behind all this is a trust in Indian that woman without child is not real women. Women without child are treated very badly .Even what ever intuit may be behind this. These women are looked badly. This causes a insecurity complicated in these women and provoke them to don anything right or wrong. We are required to change our outlook toward these women if we do not want to repeat these things in near future. Other sacrifices are done by the tantriks (who pray for black magic). They also can go up to any level for getting desired results. Therefore children become the main victim for achieving their goals.

Liberalized India Vs Poor India

India as we know is a great country with a great history, our civilization is not newly formed as we have a history which gives proof of our industrialized civilization from the ancient time. Our mythology influences our lives and our culture is a inheritance of value. We may become too contemporary by imitating the west but categorically our values will always remain Indian.

In the above paragraph I have mentioned the good sides of our great country, people, culture, inheritance and of course ancestors and now I feel about writing some of the true facts about the poor India with loose people with loose moral and double-faced characters. Before liberalization India was a country of moderate economy with majority of people living upon agriculture.

News From India

Liberlization started in India in the early 90's when India opened up its trade for the world. Indian then was known as a country of data technology and separate industries came into being and even big multinationals eyed at India as a hot avenue of expansion, business set-up and growth. Whatever can be sold in India, we are a people centric country and there are markets for all and anything. Amid all these developments do we know that our growth and progress is only ours and they are not spread out to every nook and angle of our country. Though we have high ideals and values we are still a country of mass poverty.

Why there is so much inequality?

There is a record which says that 2 billion illegally taken out of India from 1948. Such a immense illegal outflow from India is not only a matter of concern but a matter of shame. Money that illegally flew out of India was as per estimate was approximately one third of the economy amounting to 1.5% of Gdp.

Who are the culprits

Report says inexpressive firms, wealthy individuals and black marketers, corrupt politicians and money launderers are responsible for the illegal outflow of huge money and the main source of such huge money outflow is money laundering through drug trafficking, human trafficking, currency counterfeiting.

Cosmetic surgical operation in India - Why You Should consider It

Plastic surgery comes from the Greek word plastikos, which means to fit for moulding.

The origins of plastic surgery can be traced to India in practically 600 B.C., when the practitioner Sushruta, reconstructed criminals and prisoner's nose's and earlobe's that had been amputated.

News From India

Today, it is fitting that cosmetic surgery in India is again in the news, as its cosmetic surgery industry flourishes.

Here are three reasons why more and more people from overseas are inspecting India for their plastic surgery treatments:

The increase of Cosmetic surgery in India

Medical tourism is behind the increase of plastic surgery in India. This is where residents of one country seek to cut the costs of their medical medicine at home, by finding cheaper alternative treatments abroad (and take a free holiday with the savings) and they are finding at countries like India.

India combines world-class healthcare with prices costing a fraction of those in the Us or Europe.

India is now the important country promoting medical tourism in the world and increase in the industry is currently running in excess of 30% per annum.

Medical tourism is now a multi billion pound business.

India is even moving into a new area of "medical outsourcing" where subcontractors aim to provide services to over stretched healthcare systems in western countries, such as the Uk National condition Service.

The Indian schooling ideas at present is training an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 doctors and nurses each year to meet the request for increased medical services.

The Expertise of Cosmetic surgery in India

Everyone has heard horror stories about botched plastic surgery operations, so is India a destination that can be trusted? The reply is a resounding yes. In fact India's incommunicable medical facilities are on par with any in the world, and Indian doctors, medical staff and plastic surgeons are noted the world over for their expertise.

Plastic surgery in India offers some of the best facilities combined with plastic surgeons whose expertise is equal to the best available in any country.

The Price of Cosmetic surgery in India

While Indian healthcare is noted worldwide, the increase in medical tourism has seen a large part of this increase come in plastic surgery.

The thought has broad appeal, as Indian incommunicable facilities offer industrialized technology and high-quality procedures on par with hospitals in the major industrialized countries at a fraction of the cost, with some treatments just a tenth of the price of comparable western hospitals!

Plastic and reconstructive surgery In India utilizes the latest techniques to cover all areas of cosmetic surgery including:

· Hair restoration, (hair implants, hair flaps, and scalp reductions)

· Rhinoplasty, (reshaping or re-contouring noses)

· Face lifts

· Eyelift

· Brow lift

· Submetal lipectomy

· Demabrasions

· Laser hair removal

. Otoplasty

· Chin and cheek enlargement

· Lip reductions

· surgery for breasts

· Liposuction

All of these are available and many more, so whatever plastic surgery is required India can fulfil your requirements.

Conclusion

When you add up all the facts that include:

World class medical facilities, staff with unrivalled expertise, costs at up to 1 / 10 of those in major industrialized countries and the occasion to take a holiday in one of the most beautiful nations on earth, then it is time to study India.

Five Ts of business and a Million Mutinies Now in India

The notable author, V.S. Naipaul's a non-fiction book, India: A Million Mutinies Now, (1990) was like a post-dated cheque he wrote two decades too early for the guess basic the mutiny did not exist while the time he travelled straight through India in the late eighties. Of course, how could, an author-of An Area of Darkness and India: A Wounded Civilisation-have foreseen events unfolding two decades later. The seeds of mutinies did not exist then.

Among the five Ts of enterprise viz. Table, telephone, transport, team and tempo, the poor of India had always had the threesome: table, team and tempo; the other two were denied to them for too long. Till as recently as the early eighties the fastest inexpressive transport ready to the poor in India was a bicycle. License-quota-permit raj acted as the biggest wall in lifting a person out of the poverty. The divide in the middle of the rich and the poor was accentuated by the lack of these two Ts, inexpressive transport and a telephone.

News From India

It was in 1985 that the wheels of fortune absolutely started appealing for the poor as new motorcycles were allowed to be artificial by the government by broadbanding of the manufacturing of automobiles and by granting fresh licenses to the newcomers. The habitancy with entrance to funds started buying new motorcycles and motorscooters, and in turn, they sold their old ones to the others who had petite or no entrance to funds. It took exactly 100 years-from 1885 when German inventors, Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhem Maybach, produced the first petrol bike-for the motorcycles to come to be affordable to the hungry masses of India. However the last T-telephone-became absolutely affordable to the teeming millions while the first decade of the new millennium, some 120 years after Graham Bell first addressed Watson straight through the telephone.

Right up to 1980, India had only one million telephones, reason: telephones (and a fridge, among other things) were carefully a luxury; hence, extremely regulated by department of Telecom under the telecommunication ministry. Now reconsider these facts, in the middle of 1980 and 1990 the number rose tenfold to 10 million telephones, and in the next 20 years i.e. This year, it crossed 500 million cellphones mark. Though the cellphone came to India in the mid nineties but due to very high tariffs and expensive instruments the poor had been nearly sidelined. But, as the number of the inexpressive operators grew and their own subscribers multiplied, the tariffs fell sharply and second hand cellphones became ready to the masses, as the haves moved up the value chain. In the last 5 - 6 years the number of subscribers has multiplied exponentially and very cheap cells with rock lowest tariffs are ready just about everywhere. The poor now have all the five Ts, their small enterprise are flourishing and services sector that stands on the bedrock of their back, is thriving, launching a true teeming million mutinies now.

modern health News Articles on Stress

The population in Siolim, India, who are suffering from stress, depression and anxiety, are seldom properly treated. Doctors and nurses assigned in this far flung fishing and farming village focus more on bodily ailments. Mostly, they prioritize children suffering from diarrhea, aging population with heart problems, and laborers with cut injuries. In the same way, locals fear to get diagnosed with related reasoning problems. They are afraid to caress disgrace from family and friends. It resulted to suffering in silence making their misery worse.

In 2007, two specialists visited the town. Their main purpose was to recognize population with anxiety and stress. Surprisingly, the doctors found themselves preoccupied the whole day and for the whole week. Dr. Anil Umraskar, the someone in charge, claimed that a great amount of population made up a "sizeable crowd" at the clinic. More and more patients with high level stress, anxiety and depression keep appearing daily.

They closed that most of the Indians with moderate to severe reasoning illness never go untreated. Study revealed that 80% to 90% of population suffering top level of anxiety and stress do not get adequate treatment. It was then that Dr. Vikram Patel, psychiatrist of London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, started the Siolim Project. As of today, the clinic has been the forefront to treat the emotional and reasoning condition of the population in the area. It has expressed its inherent to transform the reasoning condition problem in some countries in the developing world.

But instead of doctors, the schedule is training base population to recognize symptoms of depression and treat individuals under stressed condition. With India's population of more than one billion population it will take large sums of money to raise more psychiatrists to deal with depression problems. They have only 4,000 specialists in the whole country. Dr. Greg E. Simon, researcher in Centre for condition Studies in Seattle, commended Dr. Patel's advocacy. He said "It's a genuinely interesting, lively thing he's doing."

The workers claimed that stress and depression has been as base to that of the wealthy. Poor population in poor countries caress the same emotional turmoil and are no longer viewed anxiety as Western affliction.

Most of these poor patients express a wide variety of causes. 29 year old Medha Upadhye, one of the councilors said, "Financial difficulties and interpersonal conflicts are there. But Unemployment and Alcoholism are some of the major problems."

Individuals, who are identified suffering the problem, growth at least 20% in a given year. Experts say that even the remotest and poorest place, severe stress has become a disabling disease similar to malaria. It is theoretically affecting the economic condition of the society. If a farmer is suffering from consistent and constant depression or stress, he cannot get out of bed to work. Most likely, his family will not have food on the table.

Diverse Culture of India - An overview by a Native Indian

Foreigners, particularly Westerners know itsybitsy about India, its people, the customs and culture of this vast country - second only to China by way of habitancy figure, but bigger in land area. Even those who have studied about India may not know the in-depth details of the diverse cultures prevailing among Indian people, living in the northern and southern States - bifurcated by languages in 1956.

This being a very wide field for stuffing inside this itsybitsy space, an attempt is being made here to bring forth at least the differences in cultures of habitancy of North India and South India, but it should be remembered that as an Indian, all the habitancy of India, irrespective of regional and territorial barriers, have several aspects in common.

News From India

The virtues one can find among all Indians are - Faith in God - either it is one of the many Hindu Gods, Allah or Jesus; respect to elders of the family; customary values of life preserved for generations and preached to children when they are kids; shunning evil deeds and beholding good deeds fearing justice by destiny; forbearance of life's challenges with courage and simplicity.

True - India is plagued by poverty, illiteracy and superstitions prominent to castism etc., but the binding factor from Kashmir in the North end to Kanyakumari in the South end is unity in diversity, when the nation faces any peril like war or foreign invasion. And this has been proved beyond doubt many times before.

On the cultural aspect, broadly the country can be divided into North India - those States falling north of Vindhya Hills running in the centre horizontally and those falling south of it. Excepting States of Andhra Pradesh; Karnataka; Tamilnadu and Kerala, all other States are thought about North India.

Language is the famous divider here. All North Indian States ordinarily speak Hindi, the National Language, and its derivatives like Bhojpuri, Urdu, Gujarathi, Marathi, Bengali, Oriya and the like. Again, the basis for Hindi is the aged language (but now extinct) Sanskrit.

South Indian States speak the derivatives of the aged language Tamil (which is the legal language of Tamilnadu) such as Telugu (Andhra Pradesh), Kannada (Karnataka), and Malayalam (Kerala).

But in all the States of India, English is used as the coarse language and is also recognized as the legal language of India. Thanks to 300 years of British Rule, Indian Schools, Colleges and Universities are teaching for generations, impeccable British English. Indians speak and write good and chaste English as taught by text books - not the slang used by native British habitancy by repeated usage in conversations. So any foreigner with English knowledge can conveniently tour all over India.

Ancient India, prior to Independence from British Rule, was largely scattered as separate Kingdoms and Indian history shows many rulers including great Muslim Emperors like Baber. The whole country had its capital - mostly Delhi - in North India for these native as well as alien rulers. Inevitably the cultures of North India were greatly impacted by Muslim rulers and Emperors.

But South India was comparatively peaceful while invasions, blood-shed wars and turmoil, even at the time of separation of Pakistan from India. This explains the victorious of fine arts in whole of South India, especially Tamilnadu, with peace and harmony prevailing for centuries.

Even today each Indian State is identified in this background for diverse cultures. Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and Maharashtra for their bravery. West Bengal for its literary works, emotional poets like Rabindranath Tagore, uncomplicated lifestyles following communism. Orissa for its sculptures and mountain tribal lives. Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar for density in population, poverty, illiteracy and ignorance.

Food habits differ only in two ways - whole of North Indian habitancy eating wheat and its products as main policy and South Indians would not miss rice and its derivatives for anything. As for vegetarianism, the South Indians are up-front although non-veg items are taken, but not as beloved as North Indian varieties.

The whole of South India consists of most Hindu temples in the country, including the monumental Tanjore Bragadeeswar Temple located in Tamilnadu, largest in size of Temple Towers.

For South Indian culture alone one can write volumes.

preponderant Indian Politicians

The Indian Parliament would be a excellent place to demonstrate the true richness in the diversity of India. There is a political representation from approximately all the sections of the society inside the parliament. Politics is no longer the occupation of the old, the recently terminated general Elections have demonstrated active participation by young politicians and they have also been been stylish by the group at large.

Let us accept the fact that there are a wide range of reasons why people enter politics. We have seen history-sheeters join politics and also people hungry for power and wealth. These are certainly the downsides of Indian political set-up wherein we see bad elements enter politics for purely selfish reasons. On the other hand, we have also witnessed people selecting politics as their occupation because they want to make a contrast to the society, they want to contribute, carry on the legacy of their ancestors who have made a name for themselves serving the country.

News From India

There have been many predominant politicians who have had earned heavy mandate from the people of India and have made a name for themselves in the mainstream Indian politics. India has been blessed with many predominant politicians, right from the veteran Indian politicians like Jyoti Basu, Atal Behari Vajpayee, Farookh Abdullah to seasoned campaigners like Sheila Dikshit, Sonia Gandhi, Lalu Yadav and now to the relatively new entrants like Sachin Pilot, Jyotiraditya Scindia and Akhilesh Yadav. These predominant Indian politicians have all played an active role in Indian politics, some have retired the others are still working religiously towards strengthening their respective political parties.

I just hope that Indian politics is enthused with more of the young blood and people pick politics as a guess to serve the nation and not themselves.

In Western nations like the United States, however, stem cell study is a hot-button issue. Just a public consulation of the study has triggered furious protests and stirred up government officials. Not so in India, where the Hindu-influenced worldview pervades scientific strengthen and daily discourse.

Hinduism, for its part, "doesn't share the moral skittishness sometimes displayed by Western Christian thought," said Arvind Sharma, the Birks Professor of Comparative Religions at Montreal's McGill University. If no life is destroyed when taking stem cells from an aborted fetus, and the purpose is not evil, it would not disturb their morality, he said.

To keep things on an even keel, secular committees issue national directives. In 2004, the Central Ethics Committee on Human study of the Indian Council on healing study circulated ethical guidelines on how to guide stem cell research. The Draft Guidelines on Stem Cell Research/Regulation stresses that "termination of pregnancy for obtaining fetus for stem cells, study or for transplantation is not to be permitted." Additionally, "no embryo can be created for the sole purpose of obtaining stem cells." In 2000, a article on "Ethical Guidelines for Biomedical study on Human Subjects," which dealt with genetic screening, was released.

Recommendations such as these are totally in character for the general milieu, said Sharma. "Most moral issues don't come into the public discourse but remain private." Using the example of other bioethical controversy that is competing in the West, he added, "People deal with issues like euthanasia in the context of their families."

India is officially a secular republic, home to the largest amount of Hindus and Muslims in the world. "Nearly every Indian, regardless of religion, is Hindu-thinking and lives agreeing to Hindu culture and philosophy," said Ram Surat, a Christian turn getting his divinity degree at the Union Biblical Seminary, Pune. For Hindus, this philosophy translates to a respect for all life, a confidence in an immutable soul and the body as a vessel.

Even Christians -- a growing citizen in India -- do not have as strong criticisms of biotechnology as their Western counterparts. The presume is that Hinduism casts a long shadow even over other religions.

Few Christians in India talk about such issues, said Selva Raj, the Stanley S. Kresge Professor of Religious Studies at Albion University in Michigan. "Indian Christians are much more interested in how to live and coexist with citizen of other religions."

"Life and death are not points in a line. It is a Möbius strip," said Shridhar Venkatraman, an engineer in Chennai who lived for 10 years in the United States. "All living things work toward escaping this cycle," and so life and death are personal issues.

The news describes discoveries in science as well as the furor they cause in the West. But in general, the consulation is digested silently. "Bioethics is only discussed by the very few elite," agreeing to Dhruv Raina, a professor at the Zakir Husain Centre for Educational Studies at Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi. "In general, the well-being of citizen prevails over ideas of danger," said Raina, who researches the relationship between science, societies, values and culture.

Hinduism, itself, is not a monolithic entity. "Unlike Christianity, Hinduism is not a codified religion with a particular papal authority to pontificate on every subject," said Jayanthi Iyengar, a practitioner of the Art of Living, in Pune. "You won't find a position on these issues like the one the Catholic Church has on abortion or genetic modification," Iyengar said.

"Hinduism has a fulcrum of pragmatism," agreeing to Lalitha Khanna, a researcher with a Delhi-based think tank. "What is good for development a good world is condoned, even eagerly embraced. Stem cell research, therefore, doesn't bring out the fierce opposition that Christians in the West probably taste and evince," she added. Religious mandates would be out of place here. "Every sect and subsect has a guru of its own and will not ensue the religious directions of another," said Khanna.

Cloning is also not a dirty word in India. "Hinduism will not have any major conflicts with engineered life forms of any kind because the tradition has all the time had complicated life forms and considers any and all of them as co-travelers on the Möbius strip," said Venkatraman.

"We are culturally desensitized to the possibility of the existence of such things," added Sharma. Case in point: The Hindu god of good beginnings, Ganesha, is human with an elephant's head; the god Vishnu came to earth as a narasimha -- half man, half lion.

Most Indian children learn these stories growing up, regardless of religion. "At the level of practice, I think Indian Christians are pretty pragmatic in their use of technologies," said Rowena Robinson, an associate professor of sociology at the Indian invent of Technology, Bombay. "I am not sure if the ideological implications cause much wringing of hands," she said.

It is wrong to think science and religion are in conflict in India, added Victor Ferrao, a doctoral pupil at the Jnana-Deepa Vidyapeeth seminary in Pune. In his hometown of Goa, Ferrao leads a community science-and-religion dialogue group. "Developments in science make the dialogue urgent," he said, "but science and religion are correlational."

Indian Politics

The Indian political system has come a long way since it got independence in 1947. Forming a constitution in itself was a great achievement and the first step to development. Though India is still developing, but it can be said that she has come a long way since independence.

She is standing tall on her feet after being a crippled colony for over a century by construction the constitution, forming central and state governments and construction the whole conception of supervision and economy starting from zilch, which is a great achievement. Sadly though, the current state of politics has nullified the result of these introductory steps and the citizen of India itself abhor the supervision phenomena altogether.

News From India

From Indians standing united against the British rule we have come to a point where we are now nothing more than some communist standing only for grouped sections of society. It wouldn't be wrong if I replace the 'way' in the above sentence with 'wrong way'.

Indian politics is now not only synonymic with corruption, red tape-ism, and opportunist leaders, there is more to it. There are leaders still, who do their bit religiously and not for the advantage of some sect. The government today stands on maintain of many hands, that for some is a disadvantage, and in some cases it is so, but in others, doesn't it plainly means joining hands for the betterment of the country?

The Indian politics has attained such a pessimist's attitude lately that it has become hard for the Indian public to believe in this republic and her leaders!

Indians just don't see anything obvious in the steps taken and reforms adopted. Maybe it's just a bitter result of the bad experiences in the past! But I think that Indians should not give up hope. We are equally responsible for the current state of India as much as the leaders.

We don't act in responsible ways.

We don't vote.

We don't protest against things they think are wrong.

We don't behave responsibly and litter around everywhere that they perhaps can.

We don't treat public property properly!

If I go on in this fashion, the list would be endless but the punch that I want to make here is not the complaining that we all can do, but the effort.

Lets all stand tall to remove all the loopholes!!
