Politics

Indian politics is a very confusing topic which is very difficult to understand. Even the Indians are very much confused as the country is very large and consists of more than a billion people with varying ideas. Till 1948 India was ruled by British and we got freedom by waging a nonviolent Struggle. This by itself is very confusing. By modern standards where everybody wages war for their rights or for their presumed grievances India decided to go for nonviolent method. The results are there for everybody to see. Modeled after the British Westminster System, Politics of India take place in a framework of a federal parliamentary multi-party representative democratic republic. In other ways we adopted the system of our colonial masters. India is the world’s largest democracy .Though a very big country with a population of more than a billion (speaking more than 14 different languages) it has established systems with independent bodies who maintain the checks and balances. Compare this with many other smaller countries that also got independence from the colonial masters at the same time- like Ceylon, Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh etc.

Ramayana

This page discusses Valmiki Ramayana and its relevance to todays world. The sloka numbers will be referred as XX-YY-ZZZ (meaning XX as Kandam N0 example 2 will refer to Aydya Kandam 1 will refer to Balakandam similarly YY will refer to Adyayam in the referred Kandam and ZZ will refer to the slokam No example 2-50-44 will refer to Ayodya Kandam 50th. Adyayam and 44th. Slokam)
The first to four chapters are not included for discussion as these seems to have been added as prologue later. The sloka 1-5-6 says aseedh Ayodya which means the city Ayodya used to exist (Past perfect). If these slokas and some slokas in Yudha kanda are eliminated then there is no divine intervention and Ramayana turns out to be beautiful story of a man which teaches us many things even in today’s world.
