  There's a general view prevailing among the foreigners that Indians rarely speak truth. In other words, Indians, generally are truth-proof is what they believe in.Indians do not mean what they say!Is that view correct?  Well,if you ask any Indian about this,he will promptly deny it with all vehemence . He would say foreigners are always biased against Indians!But,the accused denying the accusation never closes the matter. I thought, why not I check it out myself. I posed a few questions to a few well-informed intellectual Indians and sought their answers to my questions. Here are the questions asked and the answers generally given.It's for you to find out whether the answers given are patently true or not.Then your inference on this question becomes easier than you think. Hindi is India's national language —Yes ( even India's home minister says so, PM goes around the world projecting Hindi as India's national language ) Untouchability is rampant across India —No(G...

Why is it so?Let's dive deep and fish out the reasons.                                   ...

                                                                     (Image Credit:Google) The biological process of  reproduction in any organism is determined purely by the nature or what some people may prefer to call as God  .That means, the process is not regulated by any man-made law and is totally under the control of the nature . Sometimes, what is not acceptable in our human view takes place in the reproduction process of some organisms but we have no say in it.After all ,we are also part of the creation.An interesting example that is readily available is from the world of the scorpions.                                                           ...

                                                                   (Image credit-Google) Those of you who have read the Holy Bible would know that it contains solutions not only for spiritual problems, but also for all practical problems of daily living. In the Old Testaments, Moses frees around 20 lac Israelites ,from the bonds of 400 years of slavery in Egypt and led them to Canaan, the land promised by God to them .Canaan is part of the present day Israel . The great historic  journey of 20 lac Israelites from Egypt to Canaan took  40 long years though the undulating deserts of the Middle East.This journey is covered in detail in the book of Exodus in th...

  Not a day passes these days without a debate on ‘Man Vs Woman’-‘Gender Bias’, ‘Equality between the sexes’ etc. in TV,print media or Symposiums. Does this subject merit a debate or discussion, first of all? I’am  afraid that a critical look at the matter with an open mind, will not only prove it unworthy of discussion but also  to be harmful to the mankind (?) to an irreversible degree. Is 1 equal to 2 ?          The entire inspiration for the debate on ‘Gender Equality’ springs from outright denial of a hard fact,that man and woman are not ‘created’ equal.Weight,height,pulse-rate,feelings,emotions,structure,IQ,EQ(Emotional Quotient),Infant Mortality,Stress,Strain,Disease patterns,Communication pattern, everything is different for the sexes.Differences are sharp and more pronounced than commonalities present, if any.Hence it should be amply clear that there is nothing shocking or surprising  in unequals getting unequal t...

                                                              It’s interesting to note that in India,there are things which thrive without any sort of law required to enforce it and things which cannot survive even if you have a stiff constitutional law enacted for ensuring it! Some examples may help one to understand it clearly. While approving residential layouts,reserving ‘recreation space’ is compulsory.So while obtaining approval,some space is shown for recreation and approval obtained.Later,that space is never used as a park but ends up as a vacant bushy space for stray dogs to play around.Thus the law promoting recreation space in residential areas never works in India! But,take the case of providing a temple in a layout.There is no mandatory requirement for provision of a temple for layout approval but a temple comes up automa...
