Kudos to silent warriors!


Hey all,

Last time the blog was about the warriors who fought for the those who could not fight for themselves or those who did not realise that they need to fight. That fight was against the cancer of corruption, politics, rage, etc which was eating INDIA from all sides. Today some silent warriors are building a sheild against the rich treasures of INDIA, left by our ancestors as a gift for us to preserve, utilize in the proper way and be proud of.No, No don't think hmm, treasure gold, money etc. I am talking about the rich cultures, huge bundles of ancient knowledge which today are being sneaked out and made profit out of by many other countries. THEY ARE PATENTING OUR IDEAS,INVENTIONS AND RESOURCES!!! Its not fair. We all know somewhere that this is being done, and we use those products with a flair of aha an international product must be good,hmm?? How many of you know neem, turmeric etc which are INDIA's indigneous products are been exploted to make profit outside in the world. Thank God that we still have people who care about this explotation and want to take a strong step against it. Some doctors of New Delhi are planning to roll out an encyclopedia of the country's traditional medicine in five languages - English, French, German, Japanese and Spanish - in an effort to stop people from claiming them as their own and patenting them

So all this to say that I found this article on BBC, I thought it was worth sharing with u all. The doctors are really trying hard to save our ancstral wealth from being exploited, so lets kudos to them. Its very important that their effort be recognised and be followed in any small way by us possible. Like for instance we can start realizing products we use today,where they are manufactured in the world and trace down its roots, if its from INDIA, spread that word around as much as possible and claim our name on it and that maybe the start.

Preserve the Gems!!!

Hi all,

I knwo I have returned after a long time, but I am happy that atleast this blog has made me come back to it. If not again I would have resolved to do soemthing and again everything is normal. Today one of my friends has forwarded an article about a person who got back demotion and disrespect in return for striving for his motherland, being honest and bold in the face of corruption and politics. I wanted to share this article with whoever reads this blog so that they too know how INDIA today is loosing the few left GEMS, those gems which can only bring about any cange in our INDIAN system.

INDIAN system has today bebcome filthy, mailny becasue of the politicians. They are the ones who sit there and make the whole play run. I don't say all the politiians are like that. I do with due respect bow to those who have the golden hand and the pure heart to take INDIA to a level where it is today. Politics today has become the most profitable and most royal form of earining money. I do agree, that corruption is pre-vailing at all levels, but that is becasue its root is only corrupted, the politicians. If only they were righteous they would not have allowed the lower levels to get into this. Today this corruptio has left us with nothing, we could have been the world biggest powers today had not this corruption had eaten up our support for standing up. It is everywhere, who is goign to remove it, who is goign to stop it from destroying our INDIA totally? People like RAJU NARAYANASWAMY IAS, do take birth to face the corruption and the filth and to try help bring th people who ahve got buried deep inside this shit. But good cannot stand for long where bad reigns the day and night. Read this article and you will know what is really happening :

RAJU NARAYANASWAMY IAS

On passing out from IIT Chennai Mr. Narayanaswamy was offered
scholarship by the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
USA.
>He who came from a middle class family believed that he had a moral

the

pay

and
>in numerous other ways indirectly pay the government. So he decided to
join

many

>Narayanaswamy did never look at IAS as a black money spinner as his
later

that

correct.

his

Narayanaswamy

he

politely

will

> In his district it was a practice to collect crores of rupees for

A

the

the

the

rain.
>But he created a lot of enemies for saving 8 crores public money.

go

is

He is not the only one, who today has the courage to stand up against the higer power who suppress us and make us do the wrong things again and again.The people who have that courage are either vanished from the face of the earth or are demoted, disrespected. And how much will an human endeveour, he too has a limit, so he leaves INDIA in its present state and finds a much better palce where his services will not be disrespected if not acknoledged or respected and followed. And once again the politicians are happy they ahve gotten rid of an obstacle, the ignorant ppl just continue to swim in this filth, most ignorant that this is filth, and that its a much better world wihtout this filth.

I dont want to hurt anyones feelings by this blog. I jsut want to bring to the notice of many that INDIA needs elp in recognizing and retaining its gems who are becoming rare today. We need to hold on to them, though not support them and do what they say but atleast extend your feelings for them. This would provide them the moral support they need to fight the war on behalf of us. Thay are fighting for us, so lets join them. Not everyones a fighter, not everyones a free thinker but everyone, every INDIAN has some feelings for his/her motherland. Knowing all this can you still be happily just sit seeing whats happening to the people who want to start the jyothi which will eat up this corruption?

Just try talking to your friends or anyoen who also wants to do somehting for our Motherland and who as no idea what to do. Even I am helpless, even I did not do anything what I ahve said above. That was becasue I was and am alone, I need strength. We the people are the biggest powers, if we really decide then we can come together and atleast oppsose little little things like unfair behaviour toward the strong people who are facing the corruption.

UNITED WE STAND DIVIDD WE FALL.

If we are togetehr noone can do anything to us. The Govenment needs to listen to us is we a re a big and significant mass. They cannot just push us away. Yes this ahs risk in it, but what does not, driving on the road, any lorry can just hit us and go, flying or swimmin theres risk verywhere. so please spread this awareness and lets together make INDIA a better palce to live.

Salaam Namaste

INDIA a land of great diversity, land of great heores with great principles, strong cultural values and what not. It facinates me and I am sure many more as to how so many diverse cultures stay in harmony under on roof. Yes I know many would have raised their eyebrows and said "harmony?". Any family with four people in it (though from the same culture and language,etc) will have some disputes within them, its human nature. Same is with INDIA, we do have disputes within us but they are relatively small ones when compared to whats going on in other countries with a single culture prevaling in them. Today INDIA is ranked among the developed nations and this is solely on the basis of our own hardwork and talents. I am very proud of my country. Even with these virtuous principles, theres a lot discrepencies which are making life of a common man difficult like corruption, slag at every stage of work. Population. I can name a lot more. Then why isnt anything done again these?

I am a mediocre INDIAN with big dreams of changing our INDIA for its best!!!
The motivation for starting this bolg are the thoughts of helpessness that keep haunting me whenever I read of another blast or another war that has caused chaos in innocent peoples lives. All that suffering, all the fear, hunger, poverty, population and so on the list goes which today are celebrating their victory over INIDAN lives for more than 50 years and will be for the next generations to come.

Awareness can be a strong weapon against these, provided its on large scale. Today I see there are tons of blogs of similar ppl like me who have started blogs and spreading the awareness of whats eating up INDIA and what can be done. I congratualte them becasue though it is a drop in the ocean , I promise them it did bring change in me. It might be the starting.

I always thought I should do something, but that feeling was strong only for the day I decide and , I'm back to the mundane chores of my life. So I decided, I needed a constant alarm which would remind me of what I really wanted to do. And thus blogging started.

I am not hoping to radically change everything in INDIA with this blog but atleast share my views and see how strong they are. Maybe this discussion form will get the best of me after some dedication to it.

This is an open blog started by an INDIAN for INDIANS who are equally worried about their motherland and would like to do something. The greater the army we have the stronger the battle can be against the parasites feeding on INDIA.

We fought and got our Independence from the Britishers, why can't we do it again?
