ഇന്ത്യയിൽ, പ്രത്യേകിച്ച് ഉത്തരേന്ത്യയിൽ, വ്യാപകമായി ആരാധിക്കപ്പെടുന്ന ഹിന്ദു ദേവനാണ് ശ്രീ രാമൻ. 1980 ൽ ഇറങ്ങിയ രാമാനന്ദ സാഗർ ന്റെ ഹിന്ദി സീരിയൽ രാമായണം ആണ്, രാവണനെയും  സൈന്യത്തെയും ഓരോ തവണയും തകർത്തു കൊണ്ടിരിക്കുമ്പോൾ ഹനുമാൻ വിളിച്ചോതുന്ന 'ജയ് ശ്രീ റാം' ഉത്തരേന്ത്യൻ സംസ്ഥാനങ്ങളിൽ വ്യാപകമായ ജനപ്രീതി നേടിക്കൊടുത്തതു. ദേവ നാമങ്ങൾ നമ്മുടെ ക്ഷേത്രങ്ങൾക്കു പേരും പെരുമയും വ്യക്തിപ്രഭാവവും നൽകുന്നതു പോലും ഇത്തരം ഒറ്റപ്പെട്ട സംഭവങ്ങളും, കൃതികളും, കഥാപാത്രങ്ങളുമാണ്. മഹാവിഷ്ണുവിന്റെ അവതാരങ്ങളായ ശ്രീ രാമന്റെയോ, ശ്രീ കൃഷ്ണന്റെ യോ, മറ്റാരുടെയോ നാമത്തി ലോ, അനുവദനീയമായ സ്ഥാനങ്ങളിൽ ഇന്ത്യയിൽ എവിടെയും ക്ഷേത്രങ്ങൾ നിർമ്മിക്കുവാൻ ക്ഷേത്രങ്ങളു മായി ബന്ധപ്പെട്ട ഏവർക്കും കഴിയും . അങ്ങനെ നിർമ്മിക്കപ്പെട്ട ക്ഷേത്രങ്ങളുടെ ഏതൊരു ചടങ്ങിനും ക്ഷണിക്കപ്പെട്ട ഏവർക്കും പങ്കു ചേരുകയും ചെയ്യാം. ഇതു തികച്ചും ഒരു സാധാരണ സംഭവമാണ്. എന്നാൽ ഇവിടെ ഇതു അയോദ്ധ്യ ക്ഷേത്രവും, അതിനു ബാബരി മസ്ജിദ് മായുള്ള ബന്ധവും പരിഗണിച്ചു ഈ ചടങ്ങിന് അമിതമായ രാഷ്ട്രീയമാനം കൈവന്നു. എല്ലാത്തിനും ഉപരിയായി ഒരു രാഷ്ട്രീയ പാർട്ടി ഈ അവ

If  we ask the difference between reality and illusion most people may give answers instantly. In case we alter the question slightly and ask whether life is a reality or illusion, most people will say it is a reality. When we take life in terms of time, can it be a reality or an illusion? The straight answer will be illusion. Life is not a reality, but an absolute illusion. The state of things as they actually exist is called reality. An instance of a wrong or misinterpreted perception of a sensory experience is called illusion. When we take life in term with time, the present time only constitute reality. The other parts, what is happened is past and to be happened is future. Present time may be called present day, present hour, present minite, present second etc. However, all these time fractions are not present. Each of these have past, present and future. Now, for more accuracy, if we divide the second into thousand fractions and pick one, that too will have these thre

        The great Wall of China China has since long been creating troubles to India. Some of our land they claim as their own. China has 22,800 km border with many countries like Mongolia, North Korea, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bhutan, Nepal, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, Taiwan, Brunei, Malaysia, Philippines. Some of the above counties have disputes on sea. It seems from these long standing disputes that China alone is right and rest all others are wrong. India and Tibet signed a convention in Shimla on 3 July 1914, specifying boundary line covering parts of Bhutan to the extent of 890 km on the west and 260 km east to the Brahmaputra river in the east. (The exact length, destination, marking etc may be got confirmed from the concerned records of the Government of India) This line of control is known as Mc Mahone border line between India and China. In case they have any disagreement with this line, they have all the liberty to ha

2024 Paris Olympic competition Venue. The   forthcoming Olympics will be held in Paris from July 26, 2024 to August 11, 2024. India's performance in the Olympic history is below par. We could not compete with even small countries in the sports arena. Unfortunately neither our successive governments nor the large number of sports bodies our country is taking adequate and result oriented measures to enhance the standard of our country in the field of sports. Our performance in the past three Olympics are given below. (P - participants, G - gold, S - silver, B - bronze, T - total and R - rank) 2012 (London) Countries 204 P 83, G 0, S 2, B 4, T 6, R 55 2016 (Rio de Janeiro) C 207 P 117, G 0, S 1, B 1, T 2, R 67 2020 (Tokyo) C 206 P 124, G 1, S 2, B 4, T 7, G 48 The top six countries in the 2012 medal tally are given below (in the order of country, gold, silver, bronze and total) 1. USA - 48,26,30,104 2. China - 39,31,22,92 3. G Britain - 29,18,18,65 4. Russia - 18,21,27,66

According to the census report of 2011, percentage of Indian families own house is 86.6. This percentage in selected states/UT is as below. Damen and Diu - 38.3 Chandigarh - 47.7 Delhi - 68.3 Karnataka - 74.3 Tamil Nadu - 74.6 AP & Telangana - 78.5 Maharashtra - 81.1 Gujarat - 83.9 Punjab - 88.9 W. Bengal - 89.3 Chattisgarh - 90.2 Odisha - 90.4 Kerala - 90.7 UP - 94.7 Kashmir - 96.7 Bihar - 96.8 As per available information no country in the world have 100% families possess own houses. However there are many countries where over 80% families have own houses. Our government may seriously view this aspect. We may make plans on top most priority to provide houses for all those who do not have own houses. The houses made available should be compact, spacious, beautiful and with all modern and essential facilities. Government need not spend money for this. It may have to arrange loan and feasibility for repayment by the occupants. With little efforts all Indians can be said

There are about 30,000 components in an average petrol car including the tiny hose connector, bolts and nuts of different sizes and upto the large engine block. A petrol/diesel car has ove 200 components in the combustion engine whereas an electric car has only 20 components. When we make a simple assessment, this 90 per cent reduction in parts may bring considerable reduction in the sale price. But it is not so. We may find here the Tata Tiago (petrol) ex show room price in Kochi, that is Rs 5,59,900. Tiago Ev, Rs 8,69,000, 19.2 KWh. We may find here a hike in  price for about 55 per cent from petrol car to ev car. The reason for this price increase is said to be for the following. One is the high price of battery and the other is lack of manufacturing facilities. If a new battery is fitted in a Tiago it cost between Rs 4.1 to 5.1 lakh. Lithium reserves in our country was comparatively low could be one reason for the high price of Ev in our country. However, recently a fai

As per available reports the Ministry of Forest, Kerala has decided to kill the Man Eater Tiger appeared in Kalpetta, Waynad region. According to experts openion, a tiger normally becomes man eater when the wild beast becomes instinctively incapable of hunting the natural prey. It can be due to problems with the teeth, front legs or any othe body issues. As such as a wild life theory it cannot be ratified to eliminate an animal for any physical deficiency. I would like to request the animal lovers around to interfere in the decision of killing the Tiger. The animal may be caught alive and gifted to some zoo anywhere in India. The Minister of Forest is also requested hereby to look into this matter mercifully. K V George   

We Indians have a peculiar charector. To think anything serious, Indians, especially politicians need microphone with them. Without microphone he cannot think about the security of his own parliament today but the microphone in hand he can talk about the security in pin point details for over hundred or thousand years. Should we, therefore, see this as a mere microphonics lapse but 'not any real security lapse.' However, if we still prefer to have a thorough enquiry into the security lapse we should certainly hold a fine piece of microphone in hand so that the result will have the required accuracy! We Indians political life have become too microphonic, too difficult to detach. This does not pertains to any party or any leader or any ideology but common to all! K V George

Most Indians try to bring up their children to become rich and powerful. According to a report  by a leading newspaper of India, the top rich of the country consisting about 1% as of 2018 have annual growth of wealth by 39% whereas the lower half of the population has an average growth of wealth by 3% per annum. This can be called as the consequential impact of our democracy. But if we have a practical approach of the matter, we can find from our own neighborhood that the youth of today who have become alcoholic and narcotic addicts, political thugs, antisocial criminals etc are the creation of their own parents and the educational system they have undergone. Can we find any effort from anywhere to reform a spoilt one. Our political system prefer a criminal one than an educated and intelligent one. When we take a list of most intelligent and knowledgeable students in the world we may find the names Singapore, Hong Kong, Estonia, Canada, Chinese Taipei, Japan etc. Indian par

Many people in the world think that money can bring happiness. About 60% Americans believe that money can certainly bring happiness. Their targets for this is $1.2 million (say about 10 crores rupees) We Indians must also be believing in this happiness theory. For that each one has his own goal. Let us now look it through another angle. A very rich man in his comfortable a.c. room is sweating and losing sleep in the night, whereas a poor agriculturist is enjoying a sound sleep in the night in the open veranda even without a fan. This shows that the money and happiness theory is not a standard one. Someone with any amount of money cannot attain happiness and some others with no much money with them remain happy most of the time. We may set a measurement for Happiness from 0 to 10. Those who indicate '0' has no happiness and those who indicate '10' is having total happiness. I don't think that there is anyone in the world who is having '0' right th

The purpose of our hard work in life is to attain contentment, happiness and peace. Every country in the world is doing everything for their people to attain these three. But how many individuals and how many countries could realise even any one of these? According to the World Happiness Index 2023 the following are the top ten  countries in the world in happiness. Some of these countries are in the top ten list for many years. The top countries are: 1. Finland             2. Denmark 3. Switzerland     4. Iceland 5. Netherlands    6. Norway 7. Sweden            8 Luxembourg 9. New Zealand 10. Austria India ranks 125 in the list consisting of 145 countries. Population of Finland is 55.4 lakhs (2021). Only 34% of the population believe in God. Population of Denmark is 58.6 lakhs (2021). Only 30% of the population believe in God. Population of Switzerland is 87 lakhs (2021). As a whole 32% of the population have no religious affiliation. Out of these 25% are flat atheists. Onl

India may be one of the most corrupt countries in the world. The prime reason for this is that there is no effective laws and the strict follow up of those existing laws. Untill the law become intolerable, the corrupt may continue with their trades. If the corruption is committed by a government employee, he should lose his job for ever. He should be asked to pay penalty of about ten times of the amount involved in the corruptive activities. Such ones should be never considered for a government job in the future. He should also undergo a minimum imprisonment of five years. Same punishment should be triggered in the case of an elected member too. Therefore, the government has to take  two steps immediately. First is to frame the law. The second is to strictly implement the law.  If this could be done without any reluctance we can make our country corruption free. According to some studies conducted by Vito Tanzi in India and in some other countries, corruption is caused by e

The State of Kerala has reached the rock bottom stage of economic status. And this must be an all time record. Who is responsible for this pathetic state of affairs?  This abnormal situation cannot be attributed to any individual or group. The people of Kerala as a whole is responsible for this. This situation is caused by the people of this peculiar state consisting a huge population of 24×365 politics. Keralites eat politics, drink politics, sleep in politics, talk only politics and pray politics! Finally the political god heard the prayer and showered political answers! The state has no money. Nothing to think about development. Crime is being spread. Despite all these, the people have not learnt anything. In another couple of years the external remittance may fall from 1.2 lakh crores rupees to a a paltry few chips! And that will be the learning point. It is quite surprising that neither the government nor the people are taking any interest in bringing in more money to
