SEX EDUCATION IN SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES

Image
A few years ago an interview with a foreign lady had appeared in a Malayalam publication. She came to Kottayam by a KSRTC bus. She walked from the bus stand to the central junction. During this short walk, she said that twelve times people had laid their hands on her. It may not be a uncommon thing for the women folk of God's own country. In another instance, a city bus conductor of Ernakulam, during noon time when there were less passengers in the bus, conciously laid hands on the body of a school girl (I think that the man was later arrested by the police.) In another heinous act a 76 years old women was picked from the way side somewhere from north of Trissur, and according to the media reports she was  raped by a young man and thrown to the road side and some passerby had later rescued her. Recently there was a media report about a fifty plus man sentenced to imprisonment for raping a minor girl. Such things goes on and on in the God's own country. These things ...

PLEASE DON'T DRIVE AWAY ENTREPRENEURS FROM KERALA

Image
(Image courtesy,                                  Shutterstock) (First published on 16.Februar2024) Kerala is notorious for its approach towards entrepreneurs. We have not only driven away many for one reason or the other. Let us understand the fact that this habit of ours have finally brought the state government to the present financial situation. If we could welcome all those came to our state to set up some industries the face look of the state would have been much different. We would not have faced this financial scarcity. Many of our youth would have got excellent employment opportunities and the state revenue would have been substantially increased. E-Manorama had a news report on 12th December that one NRI came from Ireland set up a modern restaurant and toddy bar in Kottayam with an employment potential of over 150 people both direct and indirect.

RELIGION PROMOTES CRIME

Image
Triveni Sangam, Allahabad, the confluence of three holy rivers; the Ganga, Yamuna and the legendary Saraswati. During the Kumb Mela Triveni witness the largest human gathering in the world. God Vishnu after Mahabharat in Dwaparayug said that in Kalyuga the people will be so violent that the world will merely be dark. So what is happening all around the world can be attributed to the impact of Kalyuga. In Hinduism there are 4 cycle of birth and death of universe. Satyug - Angels and humans with 100% peace. Pretyug - 75% peace and 25% violence. Ramayana occurred during this period. Dwaparayug - 50% peace and 50% violence.. Mahabharat happened during this period. Kalyug - 25% peace and 75% violence. Current time. Whichever may be the religion it does not consists of Angels and gods but filled with humans. They are prone to commit crimes all along. No impact of Sree Ram or Sree Krishna can be there. Crime rate in India 2020 - 487.8 per lakh 2021 - 445.9 per lakh 2022 - 422.2 pe...

INDIAN YOUTH SHOULD AWAKE

Image
India is a rich country. We have enough natural resources. We have more than enough manpower to exploit those. Unfortunately our successive governments, instead of bringing up the standard of living of the people, making more and more poor and illiterates here. It is high time that the people of the country should realise the situation and focus on raising our own standard of living. Under the present circumstances it may be difficult to unite the whole nation, however noble the purpose may be. Hence the educated youth of the country must unite ignoring all regional and cast complexes. All your actions should be against corruption only, because corruption is the prime enemy of the country today. You need not fight against any political parties, religious philosophies or regional ideologies. My dear young ones, you fight against corruption. If you can win the war and eradicate corruption from the country, you can certainly win the election and form the government as the coun...

INDIAN CRICKET, A STEEP FALL

Image
When we look at the history of Indian cricket of 93 years, it can be seen as a fairly balanced performance. During this period we have played 594 tests with 183 won and 186 lost and 224 drawn. While comparing this with the recent performance we can find 5 defeats in 7 matches. In the recent period we have tried 9 different captains. Yet we have reached nowhere. The IPL has been playing for 18 years since 2008. While analysing the recent performance we cannot say that the IPL has contributed anything worth for the Indian cricket. It may also be worth to point out that political penetrations in cricket arena too could not subscribe anything to cricket.  It is suggested therefore, to form a five members commission to fully evaluate the contemporary cricket and suggest ways and means to rejuvenate the various formats of Indian cricket. Suggested names of the commission: S/S Sunil Gavaskar, Gundappa Viswanath, Kapil Dev, Bishen Singh Bedi.and M.S.Dhoni. K V George
