Dr Keshav Baliram Hedgewar (April 1, 1889 – June 21, 1940) was the founding Sarsanghachalak (Supreme Chief) of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Hedgewar founded the RSS in Nagpur in 1925, with the intention of promoting the concept of a united India deeply rooted in indigenous ideology. He drew upon influences from social and spiritual Indians such as Swami Vivekananda, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar and Aurobindo to develop the core philosophy of the RSS .

नई दिल्‍ली| सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने अयोध्या में बने अस्थाई रामलला के मंदिर में हल्की मरम्मत के लिए मंजूरी दे दी है। सुप्रीम कोर्ट के आदेश के बाद मरम्मत का कार्य वहां हो सकेगा जहां रामलला की मूर्तियां हैं। इस कार्य को फैजाबाद के कलेक्टर और दो स्वतंत्र पर्यवेक्षकों की निगरानी में कराए जाने की मंजूरी दी गई है। इसके साथ ही अदालत ने आदेश दिया अयोध्या के अस्थाई मंदिर की देखभाल स्थानीय प्रशासन करेगा। गौरतलब है कि रामलला टेंट के अंदर ही विराजमान है, लेकिन यह टेंट कई जगहों से फट चुका है। पिछले छह माह से रामलला इसी प्रकार विराजमान हैं। इससे पहले तिरपाल जुलाई, 2014 में ही बदला गया था।
सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने यह आदेश भाजपा नेता सुब्रमण्यम स्वामी की अर्जी पर दिया है। स्वामी ने अपनी अर्जी में कहा था कि तीर्थयात्री पीने का पानी व शौचालय जैसी बुनियादी सुविधा से वंचित हैं। केंद्र व उत्तर प्रदेश सरकार की अपर्याप्त व्यवस्था से तीर्थयात्रियों को कठिनाई होती है। इस पर कोर्ट ने दोनों सरकार को इस मसले पर ध्यान देनें को कहा है।

We all know that politics is weird and for an outsider it’s a complete mystery. In this blog I would like to discuss the politics of India, exclusively the elections, from the eyeglasses of money. Here I would like to discuss the practical reality.
We all know that winning an election is never easy, it is a big challenge for popular leaders and almost an impossible dream for an ordinary man, but still such is the glamour of politics or say the addiction of politics that there would hardly be a person who would not dream of contesting an election and winning it. This statement has a logic to support it’s claim, we know that majority of adult population now a day cast their vote, This clearly means that they are involved in politics but only as much as their right allows them. When one is investing time to elect others why wouldn’t his deepest desires also want to be elected by others?
This is the reason there is a provision for contesting election independently, many politicians consider independent participation in election as irrelevant, they argue that politics is about society and what is the relevance of someone, who is outside the society, in politics? Well the reason they think so is because their mind is occupied by socialist though so much that they are not able to understand that politics is for society but is for individual as well. In fact politics is for democracy. In India we are so much occupied by the thought of socialism because we live in a country which is defined as socialist in our constitution. But one must again note that politics is not only for constitution also. It is for democracy. It is for people. Just because lawyers are verbally more active in politics doesn’t mean that it is only about constitution and socialism. Being a good orator is a part of their profession and this skill cannot dictate the democracy or the people.
And above that, independent doesn’t mean individual, or someone not actively participating in society. It simply mean not dependent on other’s. Or self dependent.
Now let us see how money works in this game. I have discussed a lot in previous blogs that money is the value which has some use. The bank note or the bank balance is actually just an accountancy of lending. A bank note is just a document of lending values. This clearly means that people earn the document of lending or the cash or the bank note when they do some favor to others. Suppose a merchant sell food, then a hungry person may buy that food from the merchant for the exchange of cash, this clearly means that he lend the food for the cash. The cash has the promise written on it that the equivalent value will be returned to the merchant in future. Often people value this promise more than any other stuff. This is the reason they save it. They spend it only if necessary, they also invest it so that its value may rise. In a word they want to make people or the system more indebted to them. During election we can say that they try to buy vote through spending this promise. It is just like saying to people that I did so much favor to you and hence I earned so much cash or bank balance. Now I am asking for the return in form of votes, in form of your support.
Many time candidates do social service, social service is often the free service. But since nothing is free, through social service also you actually do favor. In a way you give them values for free. For example, a politician distributing food, cloth or medicines to poor without taking any cash. Though cash is just a promise but since it is limited, and difficult to earn so it is valuable. Those who cannot earn it are termed as poor. But does the politician earn anything when he does so? Yes, here also he earns brand. He is looked as a messiah or robin hood. This identity may help him in winning election. These kind of politicians are referred as communists, and the one discussed before, I mean those who earn cash or bank balance and spend it to get vote are termed as capitalists.
Democracy has a goal of nourishing all types political thought. We can say communism as leftist thought and capitalism as the right one. Democracy never considers any of them as good or bad. It is just interested in flipping the coin. Its purpose is to do justice and it has a theory that justice is a dynamic phenomenon. Time and destiny does the justice and our duty is to seek for it and keep experimenting.
Now let us discuss about independent politician, we can see that both, whether it’s a messiah type politics or the communist thought, or it’s a capitalist politics, is based on give and take principle. In messiah type communist politics politicians give value and earn identity. In capitalist politics politician give value and earn legal promise in form of cash and bank balance, and both of them use it to get support in form of vote during elections. So we cannot say that either is absolutely honest, if there is some mistake in accounts then both can be blamed as corrupt. And this is what actually happens, left keep blaming right and right keep blaming left. Communists blame that capitalists win election based on money power and capitalists blame than communists win election by bribing the voter through values and favors done only during election.
This clearly means both the thoughts are occupied by selfishness up to some extent. Now though an Independent candidate also may be a leftist or a capitalist, but it will be wrong to call it independent. We often say that independent candidates don’t have any political ideology at all. But is that true? Just because an independent candidate didn’t cast his favor on the voter doesn’t mean that he has no political ideology. In fact if we look at the rules regarding the election then we can see that law prohibits any action that affect voter. Which try to tempt the voter. Though this law is said to be active only during election, but isn’t it true that the law is for everyone and for all events. Why only during election? If tempting voter is unethical then it should be unethical for every event. We live in an independent country, we are not slaves neither we meant to be. Then why our decision should be affected through any mean, let it be through some value or promise. Above all our choice should not be affected at all. So in a since we can say that both the left and right politics is aimed to destroy our independence by making us dependent. So through this logic isn’t it true that independent politics is the most honest one. Supporters of left or right politics often claim that an independent politician don’t tend to do anything. He just thinks of his own. This is where they are wrong. Of course independent politics has a purpose and it is to make people independent. So, does that mean we are not independent? Well quite of, the freedom struggle gave us independence but we probably lost it to this left and right politics. Independence means not depending on others. Job or livelihood is a subject of independent politics and isn’t job a very big political topic today everywhere?
Independence also has to do with courage and security. So isn’t the courage or security one of the most fundamental needs of the humanity? In my opinion independent politics is the politics which we need. We don’t need left or right politics. We indeed need independent politics. We probably don’t need social servants, we also don’t need merchants to be our leader, we in fact need a teacher, who can teach us how to live and earn a living, as our leader.We need a leader who can teach us independence. Of course such politician would not be like a messiah, neither like a business tycoon, he might look like an ordinary man. Who knows how to achieve independence and can also teach us. This leader is inside all of us. And this leadership thought in fact makes us a leader. This leader would be the true leader of democracy, in fact we can say that an independent candidate is the one which supports neither communism(left) or capitalism(right). He is democratic, he supports democracy. Can anyone say that democracy is not real or it only thinks about itself?

Introduction:
Indian democracy stands as a remarkable tapestry woven from the threads of diversity, culture, and history. Since its independence in 1947, the nation has embarked on a journey to establish a system that reflects the aspirations and values of its people. With a population exceeding 1.3 billion and a rich mosaic of languages, religions, and cultures, India's democratic framework has not only endured but also evolved to accommodate its unique challenges and opportunities.

Foundations of Indian Democracy:
At its core, Indian democracy rests upon the principles of justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity as enshrined in the Preamble of the Constitution. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the chief architect of the Constitution, ensured that the document would serve as a guiding light for a pluralistic society. The democratic setup comprises three branches of government: the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary, each with its distinct responsibilities, promoting checks and balances.

Unity in Diversity:
The true strength of Indian democracy lies in its ability to accommodate a diverse populace. With over 2,000 ethnic groups and more than 1,600 languages spoken, the democratic framework ensures representation and participation for all. The system of reserved seats for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes in the Parliament and State Assemblies addresses historical injustices and empowers marginalized communities.

Election Machinery:
Regular free and fair elections are the cornerstone of Indian democracy. The Election Commission of India, an independent body, orchestrates these events, upholding the principles of transparency and accountability. The use of electronic voting machines (EVMs) has streamlined the process, ensuring quicker results and reducing the scope for manipulation.

Challenges and Progress:
Despite its successes, Indian democracy grapples with several challenges. The presence of corruption, unequal access to resources, and political polarization continue to pose obstacles to the nation's progress. Additionally, the complexity of governance in a vast nation with varying socio-economic conditions requires continuous adaptation of policies to be effective.

The Role of Civil Society and Media:
Indian democracy thrives on an active and vibrant civil society. Non-governmental organizations, human rights activists, and grassroots movements play a pivotal role in shaping policies and advocating for change. A diverse media landscape, both traditional and digital, acts as a watchdog, promoting transparency and holding those in power accountable.

Secularism and Diversity:
Secularism, a guiding principle of the Indian Constitution, ensures equal treatment of all religions by the state. This approach is crucial in maintaining social harmony and preventing religious conflicts in a nation with a multitude of faiths. However, challenges arise from time to time, highlighting the need for constant vigilance.

Conclusion:
Indian democracy stands as a testament to the power of unity in diversity. Its journey has been one of resilience, progress, and adaptation. By embracing its cultural and linguistic variations, India has forged a unique democratic path that resonates with its people. The challenges it faces are opportunities for growth, and the commitment to democratic ideals will continue to shape the nation's destiny, ensuring that the tapestry of Indian democracy remains vibrant and enduring.

Introduction:

Caste reservation in jobs and politics has been a contentious and complex issue in India, deeply rooted in the country's religious and historical fabric. The system of reservations was implemented to address historical injustices and provide opportunities for marginalized communities, primarily Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and Other Backward Classes (OBC). However, examining the interplay between caste, religion, and history reveals a nuanced connection that extends beyond the realm of socio-economic upliftment.

Historical Background:

The caste system, dating back centuries, has been a fundamental social structure in India. Rooted in ancient Hindu scriptures, it divided society into rigid hierarchical categories, with individuals born into specific castes determining their social status and occupation. The hierarchical nature of the caste system perpetuated discrimination and social inequality, creating a historical imbalance that needed redressal.

Reservation in Jobs:

In post-independence India, the Constitution recognized the need to rectify historical injustices and mandated affirmative action through reservation policies. These policies aimed to ensure representation and participation of historically marginalized communities in various sectors, including education, employment, and politics. The reservation system, initially envisioned as a temporary measure, has evolved into a contentious and enduring debate.

Religious Influence:

While caste and religion are distinct entities, they are intricately linked in the Indian context. Many castes align with specific religious groups, and religious leaders often play a crucial role in shaping community identity. Caste-based reservation policies have inadvertently impacted religious communities, influencing their socio-political dynamics. The quest for social justice intertwined with religious identity has led to a complex interplay between caste and religion in the pursuit of equitable representation.

Political Implications:

Caste reservation has also found expression in Indian politics. Political parties often leverage caste dynamics to garner support, leading to the emergence of caste-based politics. Reservation policies, while intended to empower marginalized communities, have also been manipulated for political gains. This intersection of caste, religion, and politics creates a complex web of alliances and tensions, shaping the socio-political landscape.

Challenges and Criticisms:

The reservation system in India has faced criticism for perpetuating caste divisions, creating a 'creamy layer' within reserved categories, and sometimes neglecting economically disadvantaged individuals outside the reserved groups. Striking a balance between rectifying historical injustices and promoting meritocracy remains a formidable challenge.

Conclusion:

Caste reservation in jobs and politics in India is deeply intertwined with religious and historical roots. While it seeks to address historical inequities, the complex interplay of caste, religion, and politics poses ongoing challenges. A nuanced approach that addresses the socio-economic needs of all marginalized communities while fostering unity and inclusivity is essential for a more equitable and harmonious future.
