Ironical how Hindus are denigrating Dharma themselves with Deceptive Devotion and Egotist Intellect

Last updated on: May 17, 2012 at 11:42 pm By Desh Kapoor

One can talk complete nonsense in Spirituality and yet come off as Saintly. In fact, most of the goody-goody stuff is actually Spiritual nonsense. Given the Spiritual work done in India, collectively known as Sanatan Dharma, the level of nonsense that is perpetuated by the combination of Devotional Leverage and Intellectual Egotism is remarkable in its masochism and stink. For most part, what passes of as Devotion is nothing more than Deception. Very few are even capable of Devotion. Those... Read more

Are there Inherent Pitfalls in Soul Searching within Pakistani Society?

Last updated on: May 16, 2012 at 2:04 pm By Desh Kapoor

Pakistan is in a strange situation. On one side, its citizens are seeing their country move rapidly towards abyss, and on the other side, they – despite their opposition – cannot (or will not, at least completely) back the banishment and complete destruction of the Jehadi system. Jehad is not the product of some people, but a system. And this system is sustained by the mindset and an ethos. Unless the Jehadi system is tackled, the run to the abyss... Read more

From India Shinning to India Suffering

Last updated on: May 1, 2012 at 3:25 pm By Desh Kapoor

Amidst the cool confidence of the Indian professionals and businesses, India’s economy and outlook seems to have taken a nosedive. By most signs, India Shinning is become India Suffering! In November, a Firstpost article had asked the question “Is Manmohan taking us back to 1991 external mess?” The question seemed to have popped out of nowhere. On hindsight it seems, it was a very timely question. Basically it argued that the Current account deficit was huge and likely to be... Read more

Losing our Historical Legacy

Last updated on: April 30, 2012 at 11:26 am By Desh Kapoor

India’s heritage seems to be in a major crisis. As a nation, India has not really cared for its historical legacy and day by day, it seems to get worse. Recently Comptrollers and Auditor General of India came out with its take on how the historical sites and legacy is being maintained by the Government. What comes out is shocking. Let us look at some of the examples: This institutional malaise exists in the National Museum as well where, apparently,... Read more

Ghulam Nabi Azad’s Foolish “Brain Drain” Bogey for Medical Students going to US

Last updated on: April 26, 2012 at 9:04 am By Desh Kapoor

There was a time in India when many were concerned about “Brain Drain” – i.e.; students leaving India and staying in the US to contribute to that economy. Lot of thoughts were thrown around to restrict that, but none was workable. And thank God, they weren’t! For, these very professionals and entrepreneurs from the US came back with knowledge, finances and skills to set up shop back in India when the economy was liberalized. The result has been a tremendous... Read more
