About Me

India
love reading, listening to western classical music. teaching is my passion.I believe what Ayn Rand had said--"Well, have I taught you anything? I'll tell you: I've taught you a great deal and nothing. No one can teach you anything, not at the core, at the source of it. What you're doing--it's yours, not mine, I can only teach you to do it better. I can give you the means, but the aim--the aim's your own.." I believe in integrity- integrity of thoughts, ideas and ideals.

When will India learn?

Finally, the Vedanta controversy is over. For now, Dongria tribe can take rest. But the nagging doubt remains in their minds... for how long? This controversy again shows how helpless the common people are in world's largest democracy. This clearly indicates the hypocrisy of the country that boasts about being the first nation to have formed a Ministry of Environment - it is yet to form concrete laws for rehabilitation and settlement.
Even after 28 years of Bhopal Tragedy, people are still prostrating at the feet of white skinned MN C's, giving them a free hand to violate the rules of our land, exploiting our human and natural resources. 
I strongly believe that a nation which is still psychologically enslaved to the white skin shall never make any progress- at least not anything worthwhile. India is still to develop a character of mind and attitude. Uptill 20 years of independence, the excuse was that we were under a foreign rule.. what excuses do we have now? That we are under a rule of a bunch of corrupt, decadent and spineless politicians many of whom haven't even got a basic education...
