Where is the rest of the population in the Hindu-Muslim binary?

 Article 1 of Indian Constitution states “India, that is Bharat, shall be a Union of States.” But many of us citizens, the right-wing political leaders of both in power and opposition, even the Muslim leaders and the whole of Bollywood calls our country as “Hindustan”. This one word tells us how backward we are and how much do we respect our independent country and our constitution. The concept of Hindustan again & again reminds me of our slavery when we were under the rule of various foreign rulers. But those who call it as Hindustan, knowingly or unknowingly depicts how unaffectionate, uncompassionate and ignorant they are towards other communities living in India. Whenever someone shows their patriotism, especially from right-wing, they are more patriot to the pre-independent Hindustan than the post-independent India (Bharat).   Fanatic Domination:   Using the references from our history, the British rulers propagated the hatred between Hindus and Muslims and after the i

Constitution Day & We The People of India.

Just ask yourselves how many times have you wished your friends & family on the occasion of our country’s constitution day? We do celebrate the Independence day and Republic day, but we knowingly ignore the greatness & importance of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. Why Dr. BR Ambedkar is important for all of us?   Just imagine our country before independence. We, all of us, were slaves of someone. There was a hierarchy of caste system. Each caste was inferior to some other caste. This system existed on the basis of Manusmriti. Even on top of this, there were the rulers of that time; be it French, Portuguese, Adilshahi, Nizamshahi, Britishers, etc. The situation of our country was pathetic before independence. It was only because of the Indian constitution which gave us equality, fraternity, justice, brotherhood, sisterhood, freedom of speech, freedom of choice, freedom of worship and various fundamental rights and duties too. This basic structure of democracy was given to us by Dr

कलेचं मूळ आणि महत्त्व

(हा लेख दैनिक सकाळ साठी ५०० शब्दांत लिहिलेला, पण इथे तो माझे अनुभव सांगून अजून विस्तृत पद्धतीने लिहिला आहे.) लहानपणापासूनच चित्रपट बनवायची इच्छा होती, पण ह्या सर्व गोष्टी कश्या असतात हे मला माहित नव्हतं. मी सातवीत असतानाच नास्तिक झालो. त्यामुळे देवधर्म करण्याऐवजी मी वाचू लागलो. शाळेत असतानाच अवांतर वाचन होत असायचं. माझा देव या संकल्पनेवरचा विश्वास नाहीसा झाल्यामुळे मला आजूबाजूचं जग जास्त स्पष्ट दिसू लागलं आणि त्यातून खूप प्रश्न पडू लागले. याच कारणामुळे माझं वाचन कथा कादंबरी भोवती नसून वैचारिक आणि तत्वज्ञानाशी निगडीत पुस्तकात मला रस होता. मी सुरुवातीच्या काळात वाचलेल्या पुस्तकांपैकी दोन ठळकपणे आठवतात – डॉ. बाबासाहेब आंबेडकरांनी लिहिलेलं “राम आणि कृष्णाचं गौडबंगाल” आणि शहीद भगत सिंह लिखित “मी नास्तिक का आहे?”. या दोन पुस्तकांमुळे माझे विचार अजून स्पष्ट झाले आणि मला खात्री झाली की माझा नास्तिक होण्याचा निर्णय योग्य होता. मी रुईया महाविद्यालयात बी.एम.एम. शिकत असताना मला काही असे मित्र मैत्रिणी भेटले ज्यांच्यामुळे माझ्या वाचनाचा वेग वाढला. महात्मा ज्योतिबा फुले, प्रबोधनकार ठाकरे, पेरियार,

I'm doing water-fasting!

I'm experimenting water-fasting on myself since last 40 hours. The thought of not eating for so long is scary but this is adventurous. Ate home made mutton on Sunday & since then I'm drinking only water & sometimes green tea for taste. Our body switches from digestion mode to healing mode and uses stored fats to generate energy which is called Ketosis. Also, because of 'only water' intake, our skin & all other organs starts rejuvenating themselves. On first day, we feel so much hunger. On second day, you start feeling pain on all those parts which have become weak or ill from inside. On third day, comes the feeling of euphoria. No hunger, no food cravings, nothing. This process also detoxifies & resets our body back to it's natural state. I've also experienced the resetting of my biological clock, because today I woke up at 7am! This resetting means, for example, our pancreas goes back to its original level of releasing insulin. This will h

Bhima Koregaon - Conspiracy Events

Note this : 1. On 1st January 2018, the so called upper caste Hindutva group lead by Manohar Bhide & Milind Ekbote makes a conspiracy to instigate riots in the state and violently attacks innocent people from backward section of the society, who are followers of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, in Pune's Bhima Koregaon and destroys their vehicles who were gathered there to pay homage to their brave ancestors who fought for their own freedom from the caste based slavery imposed by Peshwas. 2. Maharashtra Govt. lead by CM Devendra Fadnavis directs the police department to arrest speakers & organizers of Elgaar Parishad saying that Naxalites attacked the people gathered in Bhima Koregaon & this program was the crux of the violence which took place there on 1st January because the organizers & speakers supports Naxalism. He did not know about the meeting taken by Manohar Bhide & Milind Ekbote to conspire the violence & attack on the next day. 3. From 2nd January 201

Unfortunately, today is my birthday!

Today, I'm 26 years old. I'm getting older & doing nothing in my life. Yes, I'm stuck! Not because I've nothing in my mind but because I have no money. I know money is not everything, we can choose to live obscure or trivial life without success & money, but there's no success without money. Moral support is one thing which I'm getting from my near & dear ones, but financial support is a rare thing which is very hard to get even when there are rich people are still around us. Since I was 20, I have so many ideas for unique start-ups, variety of stories to make films, business models which can change the world. We need mind to make ideas, but we've made this world where we need money to make money. That's why rich are becoming richer & poor are getting more poor. Money has become everything, even more important than someone's life. I've heard, that in some foreign country, when people tell others what she/he is doing in life, othe
