Population of blind people in India is approximately 25 million. This number is approximately one fourth of the total blinds in the world. In India around 25 persons out of 1000 are blind. In developed countries there are just 3 out of 1000 are blind. Blindness in many cases is avoidable and curable. Approximately 5 million Indians are blind due to defective cornea. Corneal blindness means transparent thin outer layer of eye (cornea), becomes clouded due to nutritional deficiency or injury or disease like trachoma, corneal ulcer, conjunctivitis etc. This leads to loss of vision. Corneal grafting is a solution for this. Sad part is majority of blind people never get cured because of non availability of suitable cornea. There are enough qualified surgeons and plenty of potential donors but still corneal transplantation are scarce in India. Although every year 10 million people die corneal donation does not exceed more than a few thousand. There are many reasons for very low eye donation in India. These are:-

What is Opposition Party?

There is a difference in ancient Indian system and western system of democracy. In Indian system the king had basic responsibility of security of citizens. Indians of every village had their own government and was known as “Panchayat”. Almost all actions were controlled by the Panchayat. King had been the appellant authority. Decision of the king had been final verdict and had to be implemented. With change in circumstances this system developed certain disadvantages. Later Indians were ruled by western power. Initially Indians were educated in England. This might be the reason why India adopted western system of democracy instead of modifying ancient system of Panchayat. Later India did this but failed to modify older system to suit changes needed at present. Basic advantages of Panchayat are distribution of powers right down to village level and no opposition party. Panchayat is required to find answer for every issue a person in a village comes across. This reduces responsibility and efforts of king i.e. at central level.

Aspartame is a Silent Killer

Diet Soda

In October of 2001, my sister started getting very sick. She had stomach spasms and she was having a hard time getting around. Walking was a major chore. It took everything she had just to get out of bed; she was in so much pain. By March 2002, she had undergone several tissue and muscle biopsies and was on 24 various prescription medications. The doctors could not determine what was wrong with her. She was in so much pain, and so sick she just knew she was dying. She put her house, bank accounts, life insurance, etc., in her eldest daughter's name, and made sure that her younger children were to be taken care of. She also wanted her last hooray, so she planned a trip to Florida (basically in a wheelchair) for March 22nd.

General Elections 2014 in India:

General election for parliament (Loksabha) and some of the state Legislative Assemblies are due during the year 2014. Present analyses indicate that no single party can gain even simple majority in the house. Hence, government would be formed after some of the parties combine together for the purpose of proving majority for forming government. These parties may claim that they would be working based on a common minimum programme acceptable to all parties. However, in practice the picture is different. Each and every party is interested in implementing individual party programme. The only common programme implemented is grabbing every opportunity for improving self state of every member of the house, both ruling and in opposition. There is a need to deal with such a possibility. Amalgamation of parties is no solution. In my opinion the concept of ruling party and opposition party must change. When every member of the house wants (at least theoretically) improvement in the condition of a common man why there should be a party in opposition. All members must be considered on the same side of the fence. If this concept is accepted then a solution is available for suchresults of election(s).

Solution over Kashmir

Map of Kashmir from Wikipedia

Ask J&K Government ...

As per the agreed process of dividing India in to 2 independent sovereign states that is India and Pakistan. It was left to the rulers of princely states to join either India or Pakistan. People of Kashmir had approached the ruler during 19^th century for conversion of all citizens from Islam to Hindu. This had been a tradition in Kashmir since ages. Religion of the people always had been same as the rulers. When rulers changed the entire population in Kashmir changed their religion. In known history the entire population changed religion from Hindu to Buddha, from Buddha to Islam, Islam to Buddha, and lastly from Buddha to Islam. Therefore truly speaking Kashmiris have same religion as the rulers. Pakistan used unfair means to capture Kashmir by sending troops in the disguise of tribal. Maharaja Hari Singh, then ruler of Kashmir, requested Government of India to protect the state from invaders. He used option available to him to merge his state with India. Government of India provided necessary help and pushed back Pakistan army. Due to pressure from world leaders India stopped the operation before every Pakistani soldier was pushed out of Kashmir. This resulted in a small portion of Kashmir under occupation of Pakistan. The border between Pakistan occupied Kashmir and Jammu & Kashmir state of India is known as Line of Control (LOC in short). This is the brief history of Pakistan trying to occupy Kashmir. More information is available on Wikipedia.

Does Super Cine Star Shahrukh Khan feel unsafe in India?

Answer to this question is big “NO” However, he has many times put it straight that he faced troubles because of  Khan connected to his name. He did undergo check at an airport in USA when he went to America 2 years back (2010). Since this incidence, he is bit worried about how people would accept him. This doesn’t mean that he feels unsafe for life. He is a great actor. His career is in full swing. If people reject him because he is Khan then his career as an actor would come to an end. Hence the feeling of “unsafe” is not on account of life but career. There is one more aspect. He being a celebrity and people do listen to celebrity, media persons ask his opinion about extremists attacks in India. Were he a Hindu, probably, media would not have asked this question. In a general sense it is incorrect to ask such a  question just because he is a Muslim.

Ruling Political Party

Facility of storing money in small size (high denomination notes) makes it easy for corrupt people to store their wealth acquired from unethical means. Expenditure on election campaign by the candidates is another reason for corruption. A solution is needed for these 2 issues. Prior preparations are must to resolve these issues. I would take high denomination solution first.

धर्मनिरपेक्षता म्हणजे काय?

Maharshi Vyasa and Ganesha

एखादी व्यक्ति धर्मनिरपेक्ष आहे अथवा नाही हे कसे समजावे? सर्वसाधारपणे सर्वधर्मसमभाव हा निकष वापरला जातो तो निकष मात्र पूर्ण नाही पण जवळपास आहे. काही जण त्याचा अर्थ निधर्मी अथवा धर्म न मानणारा असाही घेतात. परंतु हे निकष पूर्णपणे बरोबर नाहित. प्रथम धर्म म्हणचे काय हे पाहू या. हजारो वर्षांपूर्वी महर्षी व्यासानी समजात चार प्रकारचे लोक असतात असे सांगितले. त्यावरून धर्माची व्याख्या बनविण्यास मदत झाली. ते असेः-

India Needs a Secular and Democratic Political Party with Vision 2100:

Some of the Political Parties in India.

India is emerging as a world power and expected to be a world leader in near future (Many claim this would be by the year 2020). This is possible if either existing parties change their aim, administration and working or a new party is constituted. My thinking of an ideal political party is given in following paragraphs.

Aim of political party should be development of India both in spiritual and physical fields.

Busday: पुण्यामध्ये 1 नोव्हेंबरला सकाळसमुहातर्फे साजरा होणार बसडे:

वाहतुककोंडी

सकाळसमूहाने एक चांगला उपक्रम हाती घेतला आहे. सध्या पुण्यात लोकल ट्रेनची काही ठिकाणची व मर्यादीत वेळेतील सेवा सोडली तर रस्त्यावरील वाहतुकीला पर्याय नाही. सार्वजनिक वाहतुक सक्षम नसल्यामुळे नागरिकांचा स्वतःच्या वाहनावरच विश्वास आहे. सकाळ समूहातर्फे एक दमदार पाऊल उचलले जात आहे ते सार्वजनिक वाहतुक व्यवस्था सक्षम करण्याचे तसेच लोकांचा विश्वास निर्माण करण्याचे. बसस्थांब्यापासून घरी व कार्यालयात जाण्याकरिता ऑटो रिक्षा चालकांनी कंबर कसली आहे. त्याला नागरिक व निरनिराळ्या संस्था तसेच गट, एकजुटीने सहाय्य करत आहेत व सक्रिय सहभाग नोंदवत आहेत.  जर 1 नोव्हेंबर 2012 चा प्रयोग यशस्वी झाला तर तो प्रयोग रोज राबविण्याकरिता दरवाजे उघडले जातील. नागरिक जर सार्वजनिक वाहुतक व्यवस्था वापरू लागले तर खाजगी वाहने रस्त्यावर उतरणार नाहित व रस्त्यावरील कोंडी पूर्णपणे संपली नाही  तर निदान कमी होईल. सध्याचे रस्ते पुरेसे वाटू लागतील.

Necessity to learn Marathi

ज्ञानभाषा

मराठी शिकण्याची आवश्यकता.
आंतर राष्ट्रीय तसेंच ज्ञान भाषा म्हणून इंग्रजीचे महत्त्व वाढत आहे. मराठी शाळेत पहिली पासून इंग्रजी शिकवण्यास सुरवात झाली आहे. उत्तर भारतीयांचे लोंढे फक्त मुंबईतच नाही तर महाराष्ट्रातील छोट्या मोठ्या सर्वच शहरात येत आहेत. अशा परिfस्थतीत मराठी भाषा टिकेल काय? माझ्या मते आपणाला मराठीचा अभिमान असेल तर मराठी अवश्य टिकू शकते. इंग्रजी सर्व जगाने स्वीकारली तरी. अगदी महाराष्ट्रात उत्तर भारतीयांची सख्या दहापट झाली तरी. त्या करता इतिहासात डोकाऊन पाहण्याची व त्या पासून शिकून पावले उचलण्याची आवश्यकता आहे.

Government of India recently decided to raise price of Diesel by Rs. 5.00 per litre, placed restriction of 6 LPG cylinders for a family per annum at subsidised rates, and allowed FDI in retail area. All these decisions raised eyebrows in political field and citizens' groups. However, there is no increase price of kerosene. This has been welcomed by all. Restriction of 6 number of LPG cylinders may be increased to 9 by state government after bearing subsidy on additional cylinders. Central government has brought taxes on additional cylinders (more than 6 or 9, depending on the subsidy given by state government) to zero giving relief of approximately Rs. 97.00. However, this had been given to all LPG cylinders for domestic use. Dr. Man Mohan Singh, prime minister of India informed citizens the decision is harsh but there is no alternative solution under present circumstances. In general the decision is termed as bold but harmful to citizens because of expected price rise.

भाजप का बचपन कब तक चलेगा?

भारत में मान्यता है कि, "लालयेत् पञतवर्षाणि दशवर्षाणि ताडयेत। प्राप्ते तु षोडशे वर्षे पुत्रं मित्रवत् आचरेत।" याने कि, पुत्र याने बेटा 16 साल का होने पर पिता का मित्र हो जाता है। आज़ कल के ज़माने में यह पुत्री याने बेटी के बारे में भी सच है। मैंने सुना था कि, जब सिनेस्टार मेहमूद छोटे थे तब इन्हे पिताजी का बेटा ऐसे पहचानते थे। 15-20 साल की उमर में उन्होने अपनी पहचान बनाई। उस के बाद लोग उन के पिताजी को मेहमूद के पिताजी ऐशी पहचान प्राप्त हुई।

Annaji takes a decision

After failure of protest against not adapting JanLokpal bill by the parliament (India) some colleagues of Honourable Shri Anna Hazare declared to establish a politicalparty. Many have criticised this decision and many have ridiculed it. Indian National Congress, major partner in ruling UPA government commented that that "This had been hidden agenda of Anna Hazare. We knew he wants to join politics and we welcome him" This appears to be a straight comment. However, members of Congress have ridiculed the statement saying "How can he contest elections without money", "How can Anna get elected?", "We shall see that not a single candidate would win election", "This shall show his proper place" These comments were unwarranted. If Anna decides to follow democratic way to fight against corruption, he should have been encouraged.
