"for India to build a broad-based, solid foundation for economic and social progress, it must uproot the vestiges of feudal- ism and instill democratic values and practices. Tile people who live in India's 750,000 villages must become the authors of their own lives and women must be respected and supported as equal partners in the process of development. During the days of Aryans, Indian villages have a unique institution called Panchayats, very powerful, well accepted and almost independent institutions. After 1 independence all possible measures were taken to revive the Panchayati Raj Institutions in order to involve the rural people not only in their own development but also in the development of the nation as a whole. Gandhiji’s was of the opinion that for actual development of the country, every village has to be self reliant and capable of managing its more...
"Nationalism is a sacred passion, a great moral and ethical belief, a social expression on a national plane, immense love for the country. It is an infrangibly notion to treat loyalty to one's nation superior to all other loyalties ". A true nationalist is one who regards his country as the cause of his existence and ready to abandon his own interests for its welfare. An avowed nationalist never minds sacrificing everything including his life for the cause of the nation. People adore and glorify him as an incarnation of super being. Poets compose verses in honour of his deeds and everyone pray for his immortality. After death he is treated as an eternal foundation of inspiration, an ideal to be followed by all, a beacon light which shows right path even after his departure. Nationalism more...
"Computer is not a magical device. It possesses no I.Q. or intelligence of its own. Its I. Q. is zero. It has to be told what to perform and in what sequence. Hence only the user can determine what task a computer will perform. A computer can't take any decision at its own until it is programmed to do so. These are some mechanical efficiency of the computers, but in addition to these technical flaws, the invention of computer has adversely affected the human function, the social economic fabric of the nations." Today hardly any comer of our life is left unaffected by the computers. In [ schools, banks, shops, hospitals, restaurants, post offices, government offices. railway or bus reservation counters, travel companies and all such utility service departments, we find the computers working everywhere.

(THE FIERY QUEEN OF JHANSI)"History is created with legends as history in its ancient origins grew out of legends. Heroes and heroines of ancient legends are not fleshly-and-blood humans. Tilley belong to mythical time and perform feats far beyond the abilities of ordinary human beings. Many such individuals get endowed with the halo of a hero or a It fringe. Their lives and deeds become the subject of popular legends, son of and stories. In India those who are seen to have sacrificed their lives far the country ^freedom quickly become recipients of the reverence for heroes. Freedom fig/tiers have an automatic pass to enter the J hallowed national pantheon. It then becomes a sacrilege—almost an act of treason to re evaluate such national figures. Rani Lakshmi Bai, the queen of Jhansi is one such individual." more...

"The world is largest democracy has produced one of the most extraordinary electoral turnarounds. The people’s verdict is the product of a three-week-long election in which one million officials moved more than one million tamper-proof voting machines around this vast country, delivering democracy to even the furthest flung region by camel, elephant, boat and helicopter was pretty damning". Election 2004 are over. Was it a vote for development, social justice" change ? The answer is complicated as can be expected from a country as diverse a layered as India. But it can be said that rural and poor India voted against the government because it found the 'India Shining', 'Feel Good Factor' campaign offensive insulting to their poverty and hunger. India was left out of economic liberalization so that this more...
"Adulteration thrives in India, with a view of 'Sab Kiichh Chalta Hai'. Such belief encourages and allures even the honest traders to resort to make quick bucks.

False branded ghee, adulterated petrol, turmeric mixed with chromate powder. Chilli powder mixed with red colour, dal with stones bits, dust tea garnished by saw dust, white powder in salt, milk with water or synthetic milk, mustard oil with argemone are known examples of adulteration.

"More than two centuries dominion over a country by any alien power, but natural results in large impact on its social economical, cultural, legal and political system of the civilization. So India too inherited so many legacies from the British Raj, that had far reaching effects on its art and culture, education, language, legal, political system and economic parameters and so on. The question of legacy as such has arisen because of the arrested nature of Indian civilization. From time immemorial, our civilization showed a marvelous sense of adaptability. The Persians gave us their imperial ideas and the duality of good and evil. Soon followed the Greek ideas in trade, literature and philosophy. Whatever the rudimentary ideas the Kushans, the Sakas and the Pallavas had, they too were absorbed. It was this quality of assimilation that had gone more...
“With materialistic values at the topmost priority, moral and ethical values at lowest span of loader, every fiber of society indulged in self-aggrandisement, wherein not only the credibility of politicians and bureaucrats but also of tlie judiciary is at stake, it is very difficult and ridiculous to dream of a corruption free society”.In present spectrum an honest man is like a drop in the ocean which loses its identity as soon as mingles virtually in the salt water of ocean, corruption is a common practice, a way of life. It is a matter of shame, that even after 57 years of independence, India figures among the first thirty most corrupt countries. The Virus of corruption has crept into all walks of life and it can endanger the body politic of our nation. more...
"Cloning is an advance technological invention for producing a genetic twin of a living thing, an organism thai starts life with the same genes as its parents. In mammals, DNA is taken from an adult animal and then it is inserted into an egg cell from another animal. This egg then divides into an embryo. The embryo is then trans- planted into a surrogate mother and grown to term. This process has worked in animals like cows, sheep, goats, mice, pigs, while such attempts could not succeed in rabbits, rat, cat, dog, monkey and horse." In 1997, researchers at Scotland's Rosline Institute, led by embryologist lan Wilmat reported that they had successfully cloned a sheep—named Dolly, from the cell of an adult ewe. In 1998, scientists at the University of Hawaii, cloned a mouse, creating not only dozens of copies, but more...
