POLITICS, RELIGION AND DEMOCRACY

Image
We  Indians have hundreds of issues that need urgent solutions.  For unknown reasons we are least bothered about those issues.  We are keenly interested just in one thing, politics filled with corruption and decorated with religion. We are unable to bifurcate politics, religion and democracy. We Indians forget the fact that India is a democratic nation and we have certain rights and liabilities under the terms democracy. We don't need education, good food and good house. We never ask for these basic needs. We only keep shouting some meanless words " ... Ki Jay" We have enough natural resources. We have adequate number of qualified youth to exploit those resources. Instead of deploying all our unemployed manpower to convert the resources into products and send into the international market and earn foreign exchange we have sent our money into other countries by corrupt means. After watching all these our democratic voters are not at all responding in any manner...

(The estimated population of the world as on 2026 is 8.3 billion ) As per the broad estimate by the sociologist Phil Zuckerman, there are about 75 crores people in the world do not believe in the existence of a God.  Therefore, the remaining 730 crores people believe in some form of God and follow some religion and their prescribed observance. There are about 4,000 recognised religions in the world. About 83% of the religious population in the world would fall in 12 major religions. When these are the basic statistics of the religions in the world, we discuss below whether religion and it's God are an individual matter or a social one.

നായ്കളോട് എന്തിനിത്ര ക്രൂരത!

Image
           (Stray dogs in Kerala) നായ്ക്കളെ വാഹനങ്ങളുടെ പിന്നിൽ കെട്ടിയിട്ടു കൊണ്ടു വാഹനം വേഗത്തിൽ ഓടിച്ചുകൊണ്ട് പോകുക. എത്ര ക്രൂരമായ പ്രവർത്തിയാണിത്. ഇവർ മനുഷ്യരോടും ഇത്തരം ക്രൂരത കാണിക്കാൻ മടിക്കുകയില്ല. ഈ ഭൂമി നമ്മുടെ മാത്രം കുടുംബ സ്വത്തല്ലെന്ന ബോധ്യം ഇല്ലാത്തതു കൊണ്ടാണ് ചിലർ ഇത്തരം ക്രൂരതകൾ കാട്ടുന്നത്. ഇന്നത്തെ പത്ര വാർത്തകൾ കണ്ടാലറിയാം. നൂറു കണക്കിനു നായ്ക്കളെ ആണു കഴിഞ്ഞ ഏതാനും ദിവസങ്ങൾക്കുള്ളിൽ കൊന്നൊടുക്കിയതെന്നാണ് SPCA (Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) ആരോപിക്കുന്നത്. കുറേ നായ്ക്കളുടെ ശരീരം പോസ്റ്റ്മോർട്ടം ചെയ്തെങ്കിലും മരണ കാരണം വ്യക്തമായി കണ്ടു പിടിച്ചില്ലെന്നാണ് മനസ്സിലാകുന്നത്. നായ്കളോട് ഇങ്ങനെ ക്രൂരത കാട്ടുന്നതിൽ സർക്കാരും, കോർപറേഷനും, ബന്ധപ്പെട്ട സംഘടനകൾക്കും ഒന്നും തങ്ങളുടെ ഉത്തരവാദിത്വത്തിൽ നിന്നും  ഒഴിഞ്ഞു മാറാനാവില്ല. നായ്കളുടെ എണ്ണം ക്രമാതീതമായി വർദ്ധിക്കുന്നെങ്കിൽ വ്യാപകമായി വന്ധ്യംകരണത്തിനുള്ള നടപടികൾ സർക്കാർ തലത്തിൽ എടുത്തെ പറ്റു. അലഞ്ഞു നടക്കുന്ന നായ്ക്കളെ പുനരധിവസിപ്പിക്കാൻ സർക്കാർ തന്നെ പദ്ധതികൾ തയ്യാ...
