[@srinivasavaradhansudarsana7207]

Great to listen to the minister once again. About the lessons to learn from vibishan's episode. Rama's ideology is to accept anyone who surrenders unconditionally. Vibhishan knew the virtues of Lord Ram and he knows that he is avatar of vishnu. Hence he surrendered himself to Ram. Hanuman told Ram that he can be accepted. But Rama already made his mind that he has to accept Vibishan because he surrendered. Rama just wanted know what others have in mind. Lesson for India is, if a country comes to us for help despite being an ally to an enemy nation, India should help. Our nature should be to save/help only. If that country again gains strength and help our adversary, we will fight against it.

We have all adversaries around and we do not really have friends in neighbour hood.The non alignment which is as good as Nonsense alignment is the root cause of the same. Our foreign policy since independence is a net zero sum game approach, neither we have developed the deep relationships needed nor the muscle power to send a proper message. This foreign policy also denied India the Western technology and capital which helped other Asian countries to become developed countries. With our visionless leaders all around who are more interested in their families than the country, it is a long way to go achieve the required standing in the world.

Ramayan also symbolizes victory of medical ethics: Sushen Vaidya was Royal head doctor (Raj Vaidya) of Ravan. During Lanka War Laxman was attacked with Shakti Astra (power weapon) by Ravan’s son Meghnath (Indrajeet). Laxman was on throes of death & there was no vaidya in the Ram's Army who knew its antidote. Then it was suggested by Vabhishna to bring Sushen Vaidya from Lanka's Rajmahal. Hanuman brought him from Lanka but Sushen invoking his royal duty & patriotism refused to treat his country’s enemy saying if forced to treat, he would cause more harm to Laxman. Ram tells Sushen that Lord Dhanwantri has bestowed his power of healing on the physician & this power flows from the divine trust bestowed between the physician & the patient. Ram said he would stand by this divine trust & Sushen has to choose between conflict of his two dharmas: Raj dharma & physician's Dharma. If he chooses Royal dharma he would be returned with respect, dignity & apology back to Lanka. Sushen chose Physician’s dharma over Royal dharma. The arguments at the battlefield are a treatise on Medical Ethics. Hanuman was then given impossible task to bring Sanjeevani herb grown on Dronagiri mountain of Himalayas by sunrise. Hanumaan got boon of becoming Sankat Mochan of devotees for completing this difficult task & ending monumental tragedy faced by Lord Ram in his human avatar. After treating Laxman with Sanjeevani, Sushen demanded mountain Dronagiri to be placed back in Himalayas as these life-saving herbs are for entire mankind & can grow only there. This was very important directive. True to our heritage, India supplied life saving Covid vaccines to over 125 countries many on priority basis & free of cost while the western multinationals raked in huge profits taking advantage of the crisis. After the Lanka War, Vaidya Sushen settled to practice in the Kaushal Kingdom of Ram’s mother Kaushalya which encompasses present day Raipur. There is a temple of Vaidyaraj Sushen in Chandkhuri village 27km from Raipur where Sushen settled. Sushen Temple must become pilgrimage Center and Call of Conscious Center for all those involved in the treatment of mankind.

Unfortunately, we failed to follow the human values you have referred to? Why ? Are there flaws in our culture?

[@gbhatia9809]

@@pardeeptandonRemember what George Orwell, the famous British author & journalist born in Bihar during British-India time wrote : “The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.” According to French political scientist Christophe Jaffrelot successful modern democracies have adopted Cultural Secularism: relegating theological aspects of the religion to the private sphere & conjuring of the faith as a political identity marker in the public sphere. In Western liberal democracies, the state is Christian but the government pursues secular policies. The religious head of Church of England is also Member of Parliament & parliamentary proceedings begin with a Christian prayer. The ruling parties in Germany & Australia call themselves Christian Democratic Union & Christian Democratic Party. Philosopher Edmund Burke in Reflections on the Revolution in France declared that to be human is to inherit a culture whose moral values must be preserved. India is now rising because it is learning difference between national identity & secularism. The people of India have rightly kicked out pseudo-secularists. The core identity of India is based on Hinduism and Indian nationalism & secularism comes naturally to most Indians because of this core identity.

India has never ever had full internal cooperation during its history for the last 1000 years and that shaped what India became. India is now trying to make its move irrespective of that internal contradiction. George Washington did the same in the founding years to foster today's US and only on becoming what the US became in 1900s, did it try to heed your suggestion of adopting and practicing catchwords and phrases of the developed Western societies.

[@pardeeptandon]

In the past century, the Gandhi/Nehru family has made significant contributions to India. The family's iconic figure offered his grand residence in Allahabad to serve as the Congress party's office in the fight against the British. Nehru, his son, spent nine years in jail advocating for independence. As Prime Minister, he laid the groundwork for modern India, establishing our constitution, democracy, steel plants, IITs, IIMs, space and atomic research centres, canals, and dams, among other accomplishments. His daughter triumphed over our archenemy on the battlefield, taking 90,000 Pakistani soldiers as prisoners and dividing Pakistan to create Bangladesh. She lost her life as PM of India while combating terrorism. Her son, Rajiv Gandhi, ushered in the telecom revolution, positioning India as an IT superpower and enabling digital progress. He also sacrificed his life in the fight against terrorism. Sonia Gandhi declined the opportunity to become PM, allowing the esteemed economist Manmohan Singh to take the role in the national interest. Today, Rahul Gandhi, after completing a 3500 km "Bharat Jodo Yatra," is opening a "Mohabat Kee Dukan," supporting the underprivileged. Over the past 32 years, no member of this family has sought personal gain from a governmental position. We need more families like the Gandhi family, rather than those like the Sang family. The true tragedy is the leader who has left 82 crore Indians reliant on a 5 kg grain charity, placing India at 111 out of 121 countries on the World Hunger Index, a worse standing than the struggling nation of Pakistan.

[@debashisganguly4738]

Since you believe that asking many questions is a sign of a well-read mind, extend the compliment to others like the undersigned. Answer 1: Because the US wants India to allow it to host and nurture social pests like Pannu (who is believed to be part of the CIA) .. Answer 2: Because the western block doesn't care and in fact their leader (US) wanted China to teach India a lesson which attributed to China's belligerence in the 60s which resulted in Akshai Chin annexation. If suddenly the US speaks for development in Ladakh area, India today is smart enough to remind the uncle of its role in the 60S... Answer 3: Because it was US discretion to leave Afganisthan high and dry unilaterally with disregard to regional security concerns, as it aids its weapons industry... Answer 4: To the extent that I understand that an important oil-rich MEA country is inaugurating a Hindu temple .. appreciate your newfound concerns for Hindu rights by the way, which has nothing to do with religion anyway... Answer 5: Because India is still not a manufacturing hub although our domestic demand has increased manifold due to the current upswing in the economy. So, the emphasis on programs like Make in India, PLI schemes, etc... Answer 6: "Today's GDP" yet "previous decade"... not sure if your mind is working. Anyways allowing room for dissent, it's apt to say consider the 2 numbers on PPP terms (hopefully you know the merit) and also wait patiently till the 2030s if you are adamant about ignoring PPP and huge economic disparities among states in this huge landmass.... Answer 7: First of all, you should compare India with its global peers on which metrics India is very favorably placed. I will help with the data source (so that you may factor in the possibility of me being a bhakt/chaddi/khaki etc - worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/debt-to-gdp-ratio-by-country). But knowing that your thought pattern will argue about your case point (Pakistan vs India) I can only politely remind you that the majority of external debts in Pakistan emanate from its iron-brother China - who are not exactly known for data transparency. In simple words, external debt data for Pakistan is a black box and secondly please be informed that it's the ability to pay external debt that matters more to the lenders. I think you are convinced that Pakistan has a bigger ability than India. Best of luck to your theoies

If Pannu had violated any laws in India or America as a civilized nation, the proper course of action would have been to follow the law and ensure prosecution rather than acting as a Vishva Guru (world leader). Reply 2: Even if we entertain the hypothetical theory that in the 60s, China annexed Aksai Chin at America's behest, it isn't easy to believe that America currently supports the Chinese occupation of our territory in Ladakh and Arunachal. But still, it did not criticise China for doing so. Furthermore, why did Xi Jinping decline to attend an international conference in Delhi if not to snub India? Reply 3: America invited several regional countries, including Pakistan, to negotiate its withdrawal from China. Consequently, India was not considered a regional power by America. America seemed more concerned about Pakistan's security than that of India. Why is India purchasing weapons from America if it only serves their interests? Are we being taken advantage of? Reply 4: The lynching of Muslims in India and the daily Hindu-Muslim debates in our media have led to restrictions on employment for Hindus in the Middle East. The magnanimity of the rulers of Dubai allowed the construction of a new temple. Temples and Sikh Gurudwaras have existed in Dubai for decades. Reply 5: During Manmohan Singh's tenure, our GDP grew 2.83 times and GDP per capita by 2.5 times, while under the current government, it has only grown 1.67 times on both accounts. Point 6: In 2021, the GDP per capita of Bangladesh was $2621, while India's was $2389. In 2014, they were 40% behind us. I know the term "PPP" and am not ignoring it or falling for the promises of 2030 or 2047. Point 7: The debt-to-GDP ratio determines the ability to pay, and today, this ratio is comparable for India and Pakistan. The IMF has recently projected that this ratio for India will reach 100% by 2025. Debt worldwide is repaid in cash or in kind. Pakistan is adept at doing this and has often done so at the expense of our security interests. I come from a family who came as refugees from Pakistan and have no love for Pakistan. Still, I am worried that our economy is being pushed into a rat hole by the plutocrats who have hijacked our democracy.

pradeeptandon - Dont be lazy and do your homework yourself next time. Few friends were kind enough to guide you with detailed replies to your questions, sounds like a frustrated rant.

@@pardeeptandonEither you are blind or deaf, so I do pity you. As you are unable to comprehend the economic growth we saw in last 5 years! Do comparisons to what you saw in India before and now. Whether it’s infrastructure or toilets or food grains to poor or digital growth or more opportunities for eligible ! I can go on and on. I guess you will quote the European think thanks survey ! So I do not blame you for the myopic views you posted in all your messages in this chat !

Patting one's own back is all we can do. Something like this ought to have been authored by a foreigner to be worth anything.
