JANA GANA MANA... WHEN ARE WE GOING TO CHANGE OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM !!

Please keep on forwarding this message till BJP Government takes suitable action.

A controversy is going on for several years about our National Anthem “Jana gana mana”. Actually it seems undoubtedly that “Jana gan mana was written by Kaviguru Rabindra Nath Tagore in praise to King George V in 1911. 

But it is natural for the people who have patronized this praised song since 1911,  to give justification for adopting it and to continue till date. They should not  say that they prefer to flatter the British and it is quite understandable that they would raise a controversy as a plea to  their defense.

Enough is enough. More than 64 years we have tolerated such insult to our Motherland India through a verse which pronounces highest degree of our slavery to the British rule. 

To-day our poets would love to create a worthy national anthem for our great nation. Let’s have a nationwide competition and allow every citizen an opportunity to compose a verse. The best one should be selected by a committee appointed by the Government for the purpose.

Now, let’s go beyond the controversy and try to understand the inherent message. Please read it carefully and observe what comes to your mind. Simple knowledge of Hindi is sufficient  to decide whether the verse is referred (i) Praise to King George V (ii) Praise of God or (iii) Glory of India.

जन गण मन अधिनायक जय हे
भारत भाग्यविधाता
पंजाब सिन्धु गुजरात मराठा
द्राविड़ उत्कल बंगा
विन्ध्य हिमाचल यमुना गंगा
उच्छल जलधि तरंगा
तव शुभ नामे जागे
तव शुभ आशीष मागे
गाहे तव जयगाथा
जन गण मंगलदायक जय हे
भारत भाग्यविधाता
जय हे, जय हे, जय हे
जय जय जय जय हे!

Jana gana mana adhi naayaka jaya hai!
Bhaarat bhaagya vidhaata
Punjab Sindh Gujarat Maraatha,
Dravid Utkala Bangaa.
Vindhya Himachala Yamuna Ganga,
Uchhala jaladhi taranga.
Tava shubh naame jaage,
Tava shubh aashish maage,
Gahe tava jaya-gaatha.

Jana-gana-mangaladayaka jaya hai!
Bharat bhagya vidhata.
Jaya hai! Jaya hai! Jaya hai!
Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya hai!

Thou art the ruler of the minds of all people,
Dispenser of India's destiny.
Thy name rouses the hearts of Punjab, Sindhu, Gujarat andMaratha,
Of the Dravida, Utkala and Bengal;
It echoes in the hills of the Vindhyas and Himalayas,
mingles in the music of Yamuna and Ganga and is
chanted by the waves of the Indian Ocean.
They pray for thy blessings and sing thy praise.
The saving of all people waits in thy hand,
Thou dispenser of India's destiny.
Victory, victory, victory to thee.

Why do we Speak English with fellow Indians? Learn from Modi!

Let's Learn from Narendra Modi

Why do we speak in English with Fellow Indians

First of all I must confess that I can not type Hindi (Like Millions of Hindi speakers in India) and I feel ashamed to write this post in English any way I assure you that soon I will learn to type Hindi because time has now come that English will get its right place.

All my acquaintances know that I do not speak in English with an Indian unless he does not understand Hindi or Bengali.

English has been very cunningly & forcibly imposed on us by Britishers. All of us know this fact, so why are we unable to do away with this funny and difficult language at least in our conversation.

If spoken English is  simpler than Indian languages, we can consider to accept it. But it is a very difficult language having more exception than rules. Rules and usage are phonetically quite complicated. In Hindi there are 55 alphabets but poor English has to manage all the sounds with only 26 letters. One has to practically learn and remember sound and spelling of each and every word. But in Hindi it is simple. You pronounce as you write and writing also has no tricks like English, no silent letters etc.

I don't see why we should converse in English, may be some  think it is a superior language and want to show others that they are superior class of people.

Let all the sensible Indians make a pledge that we shall converse between us in Hindi or other Indian languages. All of our languages are much richer and expressive than English. We should give up our tendency to use English when we go to airport and fly, when we go to a posh restaurant and talk to waiters or when we speak to a telephone operator or tele-callers.

We must bring about change and break away with a language which reminds us of our slavery. WE CAN - WE WILL DO IT

WE EXPECT BJP GOVERNMENT TO WORK SERIOUSLY ON TRUE HISTORY OF THE WORLD CIVILIZATION.

WE EXPECT BJP GOVERNMENT TO WORK SERIOUSLY ON TRUE HISTORY OF THE WORLD CIVILIZATION.

It's Time for you to know the reasons for the falsification of history

History is important. It does not only speak of past but it makes foundation for our future.

It is a matter of real disbelief that billions of people in this world have known the false and fabricated history for at least two centuries. True history of human civilization and source of all the cultures in the world has been concealed and put behind a thick curtain. Whatever history is being taught all over the world is false and based on false premise.

The question on true history of civilization arose in my mind about 28 years back, I had joined Brahma Kumaris to learn meditation and spiritual wisdom. The foundation of their knowledge is that we humans were highly civilized 5000 years back and now we are uncivilized. I found this philosophy difficult to accept. Like many, I was also taught that man and his civilization has evolved through millions of years, we have developed from apes, monkeys and animal like living to our present so called advanced society.

Since then I started examining their theory vis-a-vis the theory of evolution of world culture and civilization. In my search for truth I studied hundreds of books, articles and blogs. I met several historians and visited several historical sites in India and abroad. More deeper I went, I was getting more and more astounding results... and still a long way to go!

I would like to share thousands of stories  with you which will give you startling facts. I really don't understand where to begin and what should be the sequence. So it is best that I share in small bits as and when it comes to my mind.

An average Indian thinks that "India is a great nation which has given religions like Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism and Sikhism to the world. India has given Mathematics, Astronomy etc. etc. Indians are holding key positions in the world... these are just tip of the ice berg. Contribution of India in the culture and civilization of the world is not known more than five percent. Take a small example that  Christianity is the largest religion in the world, Jesus Christ is the most revered and popular character in the world, but it is not known to many that Jesus did all his education in India between 13 to 29 years of age. He preached only for three years in west. After crucifixion he did not die and came back to India. He died in Kashmir at the age of 120. His tomb is there at Sri Nagar, Khanyar, Rozabal area.

Abraham went to west from India, Moses is buried in Kashmir. All the world religions and cultures have their roots in Vedic culture which is practiced in India till to-day. Sanskrit is Mother of all languages in the world. It is purely a Vedic language and it is wrongly publicized that it is an Indo-European language.

Rediscovering the true history is a big task and it is not at all possible for an individual like me to do justice. An all out effort is required from all sensible citizens and Government in particular.

I have written a letter to this effect to our beloved Prime Minister Sri Narendra Modi and also to Smt Smriti Z. Irani, the minister for Human Resource Development. I am confident that this nationalist Government will give due importance to this matter.

I seek your support in this National mission in whatever manner you can. Let's make it a Movement and share it through Facebook and Twitter. Ensure that you circulate it wherever you CAN.

I shall be glad to share more with you and look forward to your support. Please let me know about your support which will ignite more fire within me.
