(टीप: हा लेख निवडणुका संपल्यावर जवळपास एक आठवड्याने लिहिला होता. याला काही वर्तमानपत्रांत प्रकाशित करण्यासाठी प्रयत्न केले, पण  त्यांच्याकडून योग्य ती  प्रतिक्रिया न मिळाल्याने मी तो संपूर्ण लेख इथेच, माझ्या ब्लॉगवर पब्लिश करत आहे.) समजा, आपण एखाद्या वाहनात बसून चाललो आहोत आणि आपल्या चालकाला आपण सरळ जाण्यास सांगितलं पण अचानक चालकाने भलतीकडेच गाडी वळवली तर आपण त्याला विचारणार, प्रश्न करणार. त्याने जरी उत्तर दिलं की आपण योग्य रस्त्यावर आहोत, किंवा हा रस्ता चांगला आहे, किंवा इथून आपण लवकर पोहोचू, तरी आपल्या मनात संकोच असतोच. पुढे बराच वेळ प्रवास करून आपण आपल्या योग्य ठिकाणी पोहोचलोच नाही आणि तरी चालक गाडी बेधुंदपणे चालवत आहे आणि आपल्याला रस्ता ओळखीचा वाटत नाही, तेव्हा आपण त्याला रागवणार, ओरडणार, भांडणार आणि गाडीतून उतरणार किंवा स्वत:ची गाडी असेल तर त्याला गाडीबाहेर काढून स्वत: योग्य ठिकाणी पोहोचणार. पण आपण असं करत नाही आहोत. आपण चालकाला प्रश्नच विचारत नाहीत. आपल्या वतीने प्रश्न विचारायलासुद्धा कोणी नाही. हेच आज आपल्या देशात आणि राजकारणात होतंय! नुकत्याच पार पडलेल्या लोक...

Since few years back, "end of ideology" is the term mostly used by the social activists and intellectuals of this country to depict the compromise in terms of one's own ideology. When many of the politicians as well as social workers are turning to the regressive parties from their former organizations, anyone might think that they're distancing themselves from their own beliefs. Firstly, we'll understand the ideology of the majority population of the the Hindus in India. As a result of religion and their orthodox beliefs, we know that most of them are the followers of  varnashrama  & caste system, which is the base of Hinduism. The sacred books of Hinduism preaches patriarchy, conspiracy & violence, which they call it as spirituality. Even if a modern Hindu person, who have embraced the western culture for his/her lifestyle, will not leave behind his so called tradition. The root cause of this issue is an act / culture / teachings / beliefs of "not...

Those men & women who ignore the  # AmbedkarJayanti  or do not acknowledge it are the real casteist people. Likes & shares are just the matter of support & endorsement which is a result of your psychology; those who do not bother to place anything on their walls regarding  # BabasahebAmbedkar  should introspect their mentality & ask their parents too that what is the reason of their upliftment, development, convenience, accommodation, privileges, luxury & most importantly the right s in their personal, educational & social life, their jobs, businesses. Ask yourself about the freedom you got. If you find it hard, leave the list of  # DrAmbedkar 's contributions like the RBI, PF, DA, 8 hours work limit, recognition of trade unions, legal strike act, Maternity leave & rights in family property for women, right to divorce & guardianship, equal pay for men & women, building dams & planning the irrigation, water & electric...

We have many philosophies in the world to embrace. We know philosophers who are known for their precious thoughts of liberty which are globally accepted. From Lord Buddha to Socrates, Lao Tzu & Confucius to Friedrich Nietzsche, Karl Marx to Che Guevara & Fidel Castro, Abraham Lincoln to Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar; each and every part of the world, whether it is America, Africa, Europe or Asia have its own culture which is different from each other but there is a common thing concerned everywhere which is called Freedom.  In today’s developed world, we see that thinking process of each individual is unique in its own way. May be it is an impact of the interpretation of various philosophies. Also there are many fabrications took place in the name of religion which created aggressive intolerance in the minds of the impuissant people which led to craven bifurcation of communities. There are two major sects in each community, i.e. orthodox and ...

(Note:- This article was written on 30 Januray, but I kept adding points as they came into my mind and confirmed them.) Today is Rohith Vemula’s birth anniversary. Personally, his death hurt me very badly. Emotionally I was broken from inside. I’m still keeping an eye on every news that comes in that matter. I would call it a “death” because I’ll not call it a suicide nor can claim that he was physically killed, obviously due to the lack of strong evidence. But we can definitely say that it was an “institutional murder”. Ya! This term has become very familiar to us in these days but what is that, how & why it’s done? Caste-conflict is not an issue of contemporary politics. We’ve to look at the historical wars between Dravids & Aryans and then Brahmins & non-Brahmins. While speaking with some youngsters who presently studies in colleges, I came to know that they think the casteism is a recent thing and has nothing to do with our history and it is limited only to the ...
