This is kind of fear in the mind of people in India not only among minorities but also among the majority. People in India do not want to see India turned into another Pakistan where everyday we will get a bomb here and there and then a mob will react on another mob and so continue this to bring dow...

Where are NSS and Scouts? Each state should come up with a national policy of disaster preparedness, particularly training at baer sic level with the voluntary help of students and others. I hope not many people would loose their lives before help reach them out.

Future leadership depends on how one can bring diverse groups together under a moderate leadership. Even the wider parties which do not like Congress to come to power. The task is to bring under a wider umbrella and running this country. It is not about how particular ideology is going to be forcefu...

joshvajohn

The present congress government made may people poorer and food inaccessible by allowing prices to go up to higher peaks. This govt has gone completely mad! anti people! Anti national! procorruption! procriminals! Why it is still there? Even the supreme court has challenged them! These are old Congr...

When power comes politicians and rulers become the same! when power is linked with ideologies then it is not people that matter but economy or ideology or something else always matters! I am yet to see exceptions in Indian politics. No Political leadership in India is away from supporting their corr...

joshvajohn

diversities, differences and distinctiveness are connotatively different from dividing! 'Becoming aware of diversities' is an essential quality of any leadership who is going to be leader of all who share such diversities. I had students doing research on those schools of thoughts so I do not speaki...

joshvajohn

The words, Hindu, Indian Philosophy and others are interchangeably used in your argument. Let me make it simple, for any future of Indian leadership or for any future of Indian education, if one wants to promote a particular school of thought or schools of thought one should become aware of the fact...

joshvajohn

why are suddenly scared of religious education? If you notice my argument was to answer your question, you wanted your dharmic philosophy to be taught to all. Then each one will ask for their own religion or philosophy to be taught as well. Or we will have schools in our country teaching Indian phil...

joshvajohn

yes. May be a kind of religious education (that provides a multi-religious text centred approach - ofcourse not all at one point) which keeps this as primary task and giving scope for focusing on one's own religion at later stage is a good possibility for 'all'. Such education certainly will provide...

joshvajohn

VijayK at one point of time I will do certainly! yes until this black money is back at least in the form of investment in India (or somewhere that will create jobs for people but pay some tax as well), people will keep shouting or asking! no govt can hide themselves nor their names! This should happ...

Hindu philosophy cannot be summarised into a few texts (nor Hindu religion nor Hindu faith). They are interpreted by many diverse texts in many different languages. Each text has its own merits. Such a diversity has to be respected as well while giving some preference to some texts. When we bring su...

joshvajohn

I have good respect for Gita. But I should say my preference would be vedas or Uppanisads with critical interpretation along with it as a popular text for many to read not as compulsory but as an option to read and learn. I still use even in my own context a saying from Upanisad - one who says I kno...

joshvajohn

Sanku If you have read my earlier posts (regarding the Koran in the Hotels) I wrote saying Indian Children should be exposed to Gita. In my arguments I am not comparing Bible with Gita or anything rather reading can help people in understanding one's own religion. For me I would also suggest that Ta...

joshvajohn

yes Roy as long as it is optional. I am not in favour of making any religious text as compulsory reading in schools. The church schools stopped making it compulsory not because the government stopped it, it was Christian parents themselves did not want at the first instance to make it compulsory but...

joshvajohn

It is not a atheist book, that is correct, but it does not say what a supreme god must be or how it must be worshiped like the Bible does. It talks of many philosophical schools including atheism and those of faith and different understandings of the nature of truth and various paths that exist. It...

What People of India may want now is anticorrupt and proinvestment, a balance between growth oriented and pro-people policies, a balance between national interest and international interest - a proper governance in India. I am not sure about the present government is able to do in anyway nor interes...

joshvajohn

yes Sanku I agree with your points. But how do we address this issue of MTV culture? When parents have two children one is conservative and another is MTV culture. How do we encourage them not to become either extreme fundamentalist and also extremely liberal though being religious and having freedo...

joshvajohn

When I talked about imposing I was not necesarily talking about Modi. In Karnataka recently a minister wanted all the school children must study Gita which is an imposition of BJP. I do wish people read and study Gita but not necessarily imposed. I hear many westerners say they hate reading Bible be...

joshvajohn

This is the kind of pathetic face of Indian governance not to support India's national game - Hockey in this way. What else do you expect when everyone is busy in making money out of everything in the present government? There is no sense of nationalism!

joshvajohn

Though I agree with US Congress in terms of best governance of Modi, I think BJP should not revolve around some individuals if it has to come to power next term and if they ever dream of Advani being the pm. There is a lot of fear factor around Modi still in the mind of people as well as in the mind...

Indian Railways is in poor condition of administration and innovation. There is a growth but it has potential ability new models. the best way is to make the regional railways completely independent and make their own.

joshvajohn

Ofcourse Political will is essential. But Police must be allowed to operate on their own. They should be asked to come up with strategies of preventing such attacks in future. They should also square up those potential areas from where such terror groups are coming again and again. ofcourse CCTV doe...

India has to support the reformed and prodemocratic Islam elsewhere and also in Indian contexts. Also keep cameras in all muslim community areas to monitor the vechiles and movements particularly in those areas of Delhi and Mumbai. Unless India has a reform in the vechile registration (being strict ...

joshvajohn

The present government is inactive in terms of dealing with terror. It has exposed its weakness to the neighbours that even if we are deeply hurt we will make some noices and wait for the issue to cool down and forget it. Actually terror groups are testing our senses for a major attack so that they ...
