The Freedom Upsurge

What Colin Crouch calls post-democracy and post-post democracy are in fact taking place simultaneously. Democratic institutions are growingly becoming non-functional or dysfunctional, but indiviudal freedom is gaining ground.

Here, however I wish to make a different point. What I see happening is the streamlining of democracy as many of the services for which we needed democracy earlier have been or are being taken over by the market for good.

Secondly, the widely expanded scope of freedom as a result of globalisation, liberalisation and new technologies have to sink in systems, which have to be global and more intricate.

Right now what we see is the unsettling of institutions and systems, which are simply incapable of handling the new democratic upsurge, and its vicious opposition by the entrenched interests.

इंसान

इंसान को इंसान ही रह लेने दो
उसे जब मन हो हँस लेने दो
मन भरे उसका तो रो लेने दो
मत बनाओ किसी को त्यागमयी देवी
मत करो किसी की पीड़ा का महिमामंडन
मत किसी को बनाओं देव पाषाण
मत गाओ गीत किसी के पौरुष के
करने दो उसको कुछ बेवकूफियाँ
थोड़ा लड़ लेने दो, थोड़ा झगड़ लेने दो
थोड़ा पाप, थोड़ी बेईमानी, उसे कर लेने दो
थोड़ी कायरता, थोड़ी बेशर्मी, उसकी जाने दो
इंसान को इंसान ही रह लेने दो
हो सके तो ढहा दो गंभीरता के पहाड़ों को
बह लेने दो हल्की-हल्की हवाओं को

Military Industry

We as a nation must strive to make the world a peaceful place. But if they cannot avoid warring or fighting, they must procure their arms and armaments from India. Arms and armaments make a big business and we must have more than our fair share. I support India's push for military industry.

Busying in Business

We must do everything and must mobilize everything in order to make India the best place in terms of doing business. When Indians would primarily do business, most of the negativities, which imperil our life, would vanish away. As being in legitimate businesses is difficult, people indulge in dysfunctional activities. It is our material poverty, which engenders our intellectual and moral poverty. Persistence of poverty has disabled most of the Indians to think positively.

The World of Education

We must try to make India the world of education. We must make our education system such that If any person thinks of education anywhere in the world, s/he first thinks of India. Not the hub of world class education but the world of education, we must strive to make India.

How can we do this? It's rather simple. We need to know our goals and means, and must not mess up them. Diversification of the responsibility for education through corporatization, cooperativization, autonomization and voluntarization would prepare the ground for the same.

The Tragedy of Indian Philosophising

They exhaust themselves in following other's philosophising in place of actually philosophising. They don't know that knowing is not knowledge, but it's the proper fix of knowable.

Edcuction: the Humane Universe

Generally people perceive and pursue education in terms of instrumentality. That's a dimension of what we know as education. Mostly people don't realise that the education is their own human self. We evolve to our essential self through education, which is not external to us, but innate to our real self in the same way as the ability of speech is to us. The true education is the universe, which we constitute as human beings. The universe manifests both - the unfathomable real and the infinite potential of our existence as human beings.
