Are Our Neighbors Really Rival and Problem to us?

      Comments Off on Are Our Neighbors Really Rival and Problem to us?

India is a sovereign country with lots of beliefs and cultures. And we see in our so-called reliable sources (NEWS) that our integrity is challenged each day, one or other way by our encompassing neighbors. Here I’m not going to write the same story which had already written in our newspaper and continuing the trend of serving old wine in new bottle. If we look at the current scenario we will find that India comes in middle to China and Pakistan in power as well as geographically. As far as Pakistan is concerned we can get rid of it but China’ chutzpah is a bigger threat, that’s all we have been listening in past few years. But putting aside it, what is there for ‘aam admi’ in it? As an Indian citizen I’m really concerned about such thing as war with two and half front but if we look farther it, our life devoid something, like some seasoning is left out during cooking your favorite dish, so your appetite and enjoyment will die. What I mean to say that we don’t need competition with other countries in expanding our territories and economy. I know that competition is indeed helpful to go beyond our limitations, but in this process, we somehow cease our true potential of creativity and authentic happiness, and put them aside in a corner. That is what happens in our education system.

If we talk about competition with China then, have a look at below   

India China
population 1,266,883,598 (July 2016 est.) 1,373,541,278 (July 2016 est.)
Population growth rate 1.19% (2016 est.) 0.43% (2016 est.)
Birth rate 19.3 births/1,000 population (2016 est.) 12.4 births/1,000 population (2016 est.)
Infant mortality rate 40.5 deaths/1,000 live births 12.2 deaths/1,000 live births
Life expectancy at birth 68.5 years  75.5 years
Literacy total population: 71.2%
male: 81.3%
female: 60.6% (2015 est.)
total population: 96.4%
male: 98.2%
female: 94.5% (2015 est.)
Physicians density 0.73 physicians/1,000 population (2014) 1.49 physicians/1,000 population (2011)
GDP (purchasing power parity) $8.721 trillion (2016 est.) $21.14 trillion (2016 est.)
Population below poverty line 21.9%  3.3%
Electricity – production 1.218 trillion kWh  6.142 trillion kWh
Electricity – consumption 973 billion kWh  5.92 trillion kWh

 

It points out a considerable gap between India and China. This doesn’t show by any means that China is a great country, but all the above things listed are basic amenities one need, from education to health.  Our energy is being macerated in so many unnecessary things whose range is limitless, rather than the basic right of human, so he can proudly wish to be human again in next life. One thing is sure politicians get benefited from all these non-sense things, not only from India but all over the world.

We will observe that chauvinism, nationality, and religion are seemly foes of masses. If we look beyond them, we will find there is only us, just humans who have lost power to think, observe and analyze our deeds and thought. We just follow things over blindly and who should be blamed for this, maybe our very education who teaches us what to think but left over to teach how to think.

Now, imagine earth free of boundaries and egos of the people. In that case new possibility of life which is free to wander and see beautiful things with its own eyes. Nature, art, and creativity would be to blend in a way beyond our imagination. There would be a small measure of peace in the mind, every dawn would see a fresh life, a life worth living.

Real solution lies in understanding our thoughts.

What is a good life? No two men will give the same answers. But the bitter truth is that in these our cowardly times, we deny the grandeur of the Universal, and aver and glorify our local Bigotries, and so we can’t agree on much. In these our dissolute times, men bent on nothing but vainglory and personal gain-hollow, turgid men for whom nothing is off-limits if it advances their petty cause- will claim to be great leaders and benefactors, acting in the common good, and calling all who oppose them liars, envious, little people, stupid people, stiffs, and, in a precise reversal of the truth, dishonest and corrupt. We are so divided, so hostile to one another, so driven by sanctimony and scorn, so lost in cynicism, that we call our ostentation idealism, so disenchanted with our rulers, so willing to jeer at the institutions of our state, that the very word goodness has been emptied of meaning and needs, perhaps, to be set aside for a time, like all the other poisoned words, spirituality, for example, final solution, for example, and ( at least when applied to fried potatoes) freedom.

Now every one will have his own virsion of conclusion on all the things I stated, but citing Voltair I would say you can disapprove of what I say, but will defend to the death your right to say it.
