<span><span><span style="font-weight: normal;">स्वामी विवेकानान्द्नांनी १८९७ साली मद्रास येथील व्हिक्टोरिया सभागृहात "
माझ्या मोहिमेची योजना " हे शतकातील सर्वोत्तमापैकी एक व्याख्यान दिले.
भारताचा तरुण,त्याकडून देशाच्या अपेक्षा आणि त्या अपेक्षापूर्तीसाठी तरुण
पिढीबद्दल स्वामीजींच्या अपेक्षा असा सुंदर मिलाफ या भाषणात
आहे.सहस्त्रकातील, जगातील सर्वोत्तम प्रेरणादायी भाषनांपैकी ते एक आहे.
अध्यात्मिक, सामाजिक आणि राष्ट्रीय उन्नतीसाठी कोणते रचनात्मक बदल आवश्यक
आहेत आणि भारतीयांचे पुनरुत्थान होण्यासाठी कोणत्या कार्यप्रणालीची गरज आहे
याचे उद्बोधन स्वामीजींनी केले आहे. हे भाषण नवभारतासाठी आहे. <br /> <br /> मात्र फक्त इथेच त्याचे महात्म्य संपत नाही. आज शतक बदलले, संदर्भ बदलले,<br />
स्वातंत्र्याला पासष्ट वर्षे उलटली तरी हे भाषण स्वामीजींच्या
स्वप्नातील तरुण, त्याची आवश्यकता तसेच आहे. त्यामुळे स्वामीजींची मोहीम
आजही अपूर्ण आहे . आणि ती पूर्ण करण्याची जबाबदारी आजच्या तरुणाची आहे
विशेषतः महाराष्ट्राने त्यात पुढाकार घ्यावा. <br /> <br /> विवेकानंदांचे विचार स्वप्न, ज्याला ते त्यांची मोहीम म्हणतात सगळ आज आम्ही पुन्हा आमच्या हृदयात कोरून ठेवाव अस आहे. <br /> <br />
वेदांताचा प्रसार पाश्चात्य देशात केल्यानंतर स्वामीजी भारतात आले आणि
भारतभूमीच्या या सुपुत्राने तरुण बांधवांना झोपेतून जाग करायला सुरुवात
केली. त्यामुळे या विषयाला हात घालण्यापूर्वी स्वामीजींच्या वैचारिक
जाणीवेचा थोडा परामर्श घेऊया. <br /> <br /> उगाच देव देव करून लोकांना ढोंगी
अध्यात्म शिकवणारा तो बुवाबाबा नव्हता. स्वामीजींनी देवत्वावर अविश्वास
दाखवला नाही.नास्तिक नरेंद्राचा देवीशी संवाद साधणारा विवेकानंद झाला हे
जितक सत्य तितक हे सुद्धा कि स्वामीजींनी राष्ट्रीयवाद आणि तरुण भारताची
राजकीय गरजेबद्दल सुंदर विधाने केली आहेत. त्यांनी देव आहे कि नाही हि यावर
स्वतःची समजूत घातली आणि देशाला त्यांनी राष्टवाद शिकवला आणि त्यांनी
तरुणांना राष्ट्रप्रेमाची दिक्षा दिली. म्हणून त्यांना "योद्धा संन्यासी "
म्हणतात. <br /> </span><br /> धर्म <br /> स्वामीजींनी राजकारण आणि अध्यात्म दोन्ही
विषयांवर प्रबोधन केल. त्यांनी अध्यात्माच कधी राजकारण केल नाही पण
राजकारणासाठी "धर्म " हा अवघ्या भारतीयांना एक दुवा आहे हे त्यांचे ठाम मत
होते. ते म्हणतात प्रत्येक देशाचा काही स्वभाव असतो. लोकांना गोष्ट पटवून
देण्यासाठी ते तत्व महत्वाचे असते. अमेरिकेत प्रत्येक गोष्ट मानवी समान
मुल्यांवर तोलली जाते, इंग्लंड मध्ये राजकारण राष्ट्रीयत्व गोष्टीभोवती
पिंगा घालते तसेच अवघ्या भारताला एकसंघ करण्याची ताकद धर्मकारणात आहे.
त्यामुळे स्वामीजींनी आपल्या लोकांना राजकारण अध्यात्माच्या मार्गाने
समजावून सांगितले. हीच गोष्ट रामदास स्वमिन्निसुद्धा केली होती. <br /> <br /> हिंदुधर्म<br />
नि:संशय विवेकानन्न्दांनी वैश्विक धर्माची संकल्पना मांडली. मात्र तो धर्म
हिंदुधर्मातील उदात्त तत्वज्ञानावर आधारलेला आहे. हिंदुधर्माची थोरवी
गाताना स्वामीजी म्हणतात कि "मी अशा धर्माचा प्रतिनिधी म्हणून आपल्यासमोर
आलो आहे जो अतिशय प्राचीनतम आहे आणि तो सर्व धर्माची सूत्रे आपल्या कवेत
सामावून घेतो". हिंदू धर्माचे मर्म वेद आणि वेदांतात आहे हे स्वामीजींनी
जाणले. ते म्हणतात ज्याला वेद ठाऊक नाहीत त्याला हिंदू म्हणवून घेण्याचा
अधिकार नाही. वेदांताच्या म्हणजे उपनिषदांच्या तत्वज्ञानावर त्यांनी भर
दिला. अमेरिकेत वेदांताचा प्रसार केला. हा आपला आजचा विषय नाही.
वेदांताच्या विशेषतः अद्वैतवादाच्या तत्वज्ञानावर स्वामीजींनी आपले अवघे
हिंदू धर्माच्या विवेचनाचे फलित सांगितले. स्वामीजींच्या अमेरिकेतील
कार्याचे फलित हे कि जेव्हा स्वामीजींनी हिंदू धर्माचे तत्वज्ञान अमेरिकेत
गायले तेंव्हा पाश्चात्य जगातला कळले कि भारतात धर्मज्ञानाची अजिबात कमतरता
नाही आणि मिशनरी सांगतात तसे अज्ञान तर अजिबात नाही. विवेकानान्द्नामुळे
मिशनर्यांचे भारतात येणे आणि हिंदुधार्मियांना बाटवणे कमी झाले. <span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /> <br />
त्यामुळे स्वतः हिंदू संन्यासी म्हणवून वेद वेदांताचे अमृत स्वतः पिउन
पाश्चात्य जगताला त्याची चव पाजणारा हा प्रकांडपंडीत जेंव्हा भारतात येतो
तेंव्हा तो तरुण पिढीला शिकवत नाही, राष्ट्रवाद शिकवतो . कारण अज्ञान
दैन्य आणि भुकेने कळवळनार्या देशाला वेदांताची नाही कर्मवादाची गरज आहे हे
तो द्रष्टा जाणतो. बुडणार्याला वेदमंत्रांचा नाही तर काठीचा आधार देतो.
म्हणूनच तो संन्यासी आहे पण योद्धा आहे. तो आपल्या लोकांना देव सुद्धा
शिकवत नाही म्हणतो ,"पुढील पन्नास वर्षांसाठी वर्षांसाठी राष्ट्र आणि केवळ
राष्ट्र हेच तुमचे एकमेव दैवत असले पाहिजे" </span><br /> <br /> माझ्या मोहिमेची योजना <br /> राष्ट्रनिर्माण आणि भूमिका <br />
अवघ्या विश्वाला भारताची नवी ओळख करून देणारा हा क्रांतिकारक स्वतःला
खारीचा वाटा समजतो . स्वामीजी म्हणतात ," स्वतः ईश्वराची जागा घेऊन समाजाला
हे करा हे करू नका असे आदेश मला द्यायचे नाहीत. रामाच्या सेतूवर अल्पशी
वाळू आणून टाकणाऱ्या खारीप्रमाणे व्हावयाचे आहे. या अद्भुत
राष्ट्रयंत्राने अनेक युगे कार्य केले आहे." <span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /> "राष्ट्र जीवनाची अद्भुत सरिता आपणासमोर आहे </span><br /> <br /> इतिहास आणि भारतीय राष्ट्रजीवन<br />
तरुणांना उद्दीपित करण्याच्या कार्यात विवेकानन्न्दांच्या मते आपल्या
राष्ट्राचा दैदिप्यमान इतिहास आणि संस्कृती महत्वाची भूमिका बजावतील.
आपल्या भारत यात्रेत स्वामीजी ,दक्षिण टोकाला गेले तेंव्हा कन्याकुमारी
च्या पुढील बेटावरून (विवेकानंद शिळा ) त्यांना भारताचे दर्शन घडले त्याने
त्यांचे मन उचंबळून आले कि मी किती सुदैवी आहे जो मी या सुंदर भारतभूमीत
जन्माला आलो …स्वामीजी आपल्या तरुण भारत पुत्रांना हीच अनुभूती देऊ
इच्छितात .<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /> <br /> खरच आपण सुदैवी आहोत कि आपण इतक्या प्राचीनतम धर्माचा
अंश आहोत , इतक्या सृजनशील संस्कृतीचा भाग आहोत आणि वीरत्व आणि ज्ञान
जिच्या ठायी ठायी आहे अशा मातीत आम्ही जन्म घेतला आहे . एक राष्ट्र म्हणून
आपल्या जडण घडणीचा जो सुंदर आणि श्रीमंत असा प्राचीन इतिहास लाभला आहे तसा
खचितचकुणास लाभला नाही … रोमची संस्कृती प्राचीन मात्र लौकिकार्थाने एक
राष्ट्र म्हणून ते आज जिवंत नाही … तीच बाब ग्रीकच्या राष्ट्राची … भारतात
मात्र दोन हजार वर्षांपासून एकच अखंड प्रवाह चालू आहे … त्यात अनेक
स्थित्यंतर झाली मात्र या बदलांमध्ये सुसूत्रतेचा जो धागा आहे तो तुटला
नाही . यालाच स्वामीजी राष्ट्र सरिता म्हणतात . " हि जी राष्ट्र सरिता
आपणासमोर वाहत आहे नव्या जुन्या हजारो प्रकारच्या घटनांनी तिला गती मिळत
आली आहे. राष्ट्र जीवनाच्या विकासासाठी ज्या गोष्टी आवश्यक त्या त्याला
द्या…." </span><br /> <br /> समाजातील दोष दूर कसे कराल ?<br /> <span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />
स्वामीजी सकारात्मक दृष्टीने म्हणतात, "कि दोष प्रत्येक समाजात असतात. जसे
आपल्यात आहेत तसे पाश्चीमात्यांमध्येही आहेत. आपल्याडे दैन्य आहे तर तिकडे
अतिरेक आहे. दु:ख हे सर्वत्र आहे. ते अंगी मुरलेल्या संधीवाताप्रमाणे
पायातून घालवले तर मस्तकाकडे जाते. त्यामुळे दु:खावर वरवरचे उपाय शोधून
उपयोग नाही. आपले तत्वज्ञान सांगते कि चांगले आणि वाईट यांची युती
नित्याचीच सून त्या एकाच नाण्याच्या दोन बाजू आहेत . हे ध्यानात घेऊन
समाजातील दोष दूर करण्यासाठी हे कार्य प्रत्यक्ष न करता लोकांस शिक्षण देऊन
अप्रत्यक्षरीत्या केले पाहिजे . </span><br /> <br /> सामाजिक सुधारणा <br /> <span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />
स्वामीजी म्हणतात , "अगोदर सामाजिक सुधारणा हवी असणारे लोक तयार करा।
दोषांची जाणीव मुठभर लोकांनाच झाल्याने सर्व राष्ट्र क्रियाशील होणार नाही.
प्रथम राष्ट्र सुशिक्षित करा , नंतर कायदे निर्माण करू शकतील असे लोक
निर्माण करा , कायदे आपोआप निर्माण होतील . म्हणून सामाजिक सुधार्नेस्तव
लोकांना शिक्षण देणे आवश्यक आहे …"<br /> </span><br /> अविचारी सुधारणा करू नका <br />
स्वामीजी म्हणतात "रक्तातील अविचारीपणा घालवा आणि शांत व्हा. इतिहास साक्षी
आहे कि अविचारी सुधारणा करण्याचा यत्न झाला तेथे तेथे त्यांचा हेतू
पूर्णपणे निष्फळ झाला. केवळ निंदा करून काय साध्य होणार ? लोक म्हणत आहेत
व्याख्याने खूप ऐकली, पुष्कळ संस्था पहिल्या वृत्त्पत्रे हवी तेवढी चाळली,
पण आम्हास वर काढू शकेल असा हात कुठे आहे? खरे खरे प्रेम असणारी व्यक्ती
कुठे आहे? " <span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /> <br /> स्वामीजींनी सुधारणा वरवरच्या नकोत, मुळापासून
हव्यात याचा आग्रह धरला आहे. ते म्हणतात "अनेक सुधारणावादी चळवळी शोभेच्या
ठरल्या . सर्व चळवळी पहिल्या दोन वर्णांशीच संबंधित ठेवल्या आहेत . म्हणून
स्वामीजी सांगतात सुधारणा मुळापासून येउद्या प्रज्वलित करा आणि त्याला
पसरू द्या, म्हणजे भारतीय राष्ट्र निर्माण होइल… <br /> </span><br /> निर्भय व्हा <br />
स्वामीजी तरुणांना सांगतात 'सिंहाप्रमाणे व्हा . निर्भय व्हा . ते म्हणतात
भारताचा काही एक संदेश निर्भयपणे पाश्चिमात्य देशांना दिला . तुम्ही
निडरपणे तुमचे कार्य पुढे न्या. <span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /> ते पुढे सांगतात , "तुम्हाला आर्थिक , शारीरिक अध्यात्मिक दृष्ट्या दुर्बल करणारे जे काही आहे त्याचा विषाप्रमाणे त्याग करा." <br />
स्वामीजींच्या स्वप्नातील तरुण असा आहे ज्याच शरीर काम्बिप्रमाणे असेल आणि
मन वज्राप्रमाणे असेल. ते म्हणतात, तुमचे मज्जातंतू शक्तीसंपन्न करा .
आपल्याला लोखंडा प्रमाणे स्नायू हवे आहेत. आता रडणे पुरे . आता आपल्या
पायावर राहा . </span><br /> <br /> देशाविषयी तळमळ<br /> देशभक्त होण्याची पहिली म्हणजे देशाविषयी प्रचंड तळमळ, दुखाविषयी कळकळ. <span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />
"तुमच्या देशवासीयांचे दैन्य पाहून तुमच्या हृदयाला पीळ पडतो काय?देशाच्या
दुर्दशेच्या चितेने तुम्हाला ग्रासून टाकले आहे काय?आणि या चिंतेने
ग्रासल्यामुळे तुम्हाला तुमचे कुटुंब , घर , संपत्ती तुमचे शरीर याचाही
विसर पडला काय? देशभक्त होण्याची हि पहिली पायरी आहे . <br /> लोकांना शिव्याशाप देण्याऐवजी त्यांना खरच मरणोन्मुख अवस्थेतून बाहेर काढू शकता का? देशभक्त होण्याची हि दुसरी पायरी आहे . <br /> आणि सर्व जग खड्ग घेऊन उभे राहले तरी तुम्हाला वाटते ते करण्याचे धैर्य तुमच्यात आहे काय? <br />
तुमच्याकडे या तीन पायर्या असतील तर तुमच्यापैकी प्रत्येकजण अचाट काम करून दाखवेल ." <br /> <br />
विवेकानंदांनी एका सक्षम समर्थ देशाचे स्वप्न पाहिले . तो काळ इंग्रजांचा
सुर्य भारतावर पूर्ण भारत तळपण्याचा होता . त्यामुळे विवेकानंदांना
त्यांच्या भारत भ्रमणात हृदयद्रावक दृश्य दिसले असेल . मात्र दुर्दैवा,ने
काही ठराविक उल्लेख गाळला तरी विवेकानंदांनी सांगितलेली परिस्थिती बदलली
नहिय. मात्र स्वमिजींनीच सांगितल्याप्रमाणे शिव्याशाप आणि निंदा करण्याचे
स्वभाव टाकून अवघ्या लोकास शिक्षित करून काम केले पाहिजे . <br /> <br />
विवेकानंदांचे स्वप्न आजच्या काळातही तितकेच समर्पक आहे म्हणजेच अपूर्णही
राहिले आहे. हे स्वप्न पूर्ण करण्याची जबाबदारी आपली - आजच्या तरुणांची आहे
.</span><br /> <br /> विवेकानंदांच्याच शब्दात सांगू गेलो तर - <br /> "माझ्या
संतानांनो, आपले हे राष्ट्र्रूपी जहाज लाखो जीवांना भवसागरातून पार
करण्याचे कार्य करीत आले आहे ।पण आज कदाचित आपल्या प्रमादामुळे हे जहाज
थोडे नादुरुस्त झाले आहे ,त्यात काही छिद्रे पडली आहेत, म्हणून काय त्याला
शिव्याशाप देणार आहात?<b><span style="font-weight: normal;"><b>जर या राष्ट्र्रूपी जहाजाला काही छिद्रे पडली
असतील तर ती आपण -संतान्नानी बुजवून टाकली पाहिजेत । हे कार्य आपण हृदयाचे
रक्त देऊन आनंदाने करूयात आणि जर जमले नाही तर मरण पत्करुयात. "</b> </span></b></span></span></h5>

When I spoke with the Chairman of Institute he explained. The syllabus should be such to cover points that people come across daily in normal life & people aren’t aware about it or don’t exercise the rights…<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Garamond"><o:p> </o:p></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="font-family:Garamond">I</span></b><span style="font-family: Garamond">t was really good brainstorming job…its easy to write on WHO, UN and Women and Children. I had to think, what are the areas where we can say we have the rights? What are the related laws? While doing LLB, we lean 57 laws. It’s important to select few provisions in each covering all the facets in all the areas. Thanks to my intelligent friends I could develop the curriculum, and while developing it I realised we don’t exercise even 10% of available rights.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Garamond"><o:p> </o:p></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="font-family:Garamond">L</span></b><span style="font-family: Garamond">et’s start with Constitutional Rights. The fundamental rights which we can enforce in courts. Right to profess, right to travel, right to speak. We are democratic nation with rule of law. The Indian judiciary is well developed and fundamentally a different body than our executives. This has been really a beauty of our constitution. This is why today Supreme Court can raise questions to PM for Raja and Thomas. In <st1:place st="on"><st1:country-region st="on">India</st1:country-region></st1:place>, law and order is very fine <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">if not the perfect.</i> We Indians can enjoy the fundamental rights generally. However, as compared to US, we people are not so up to the mark about our rights. We are not so demanding. We don’t raise voices and make the government bend down. Yesterday, I met Pradeep Lokhande, founder of Rural Relations. He was telling about neutral nature of people in villages…” they don’t get water for three days, they can’t take a bath but no one raises voice…” No need to justify they are illiterate. We so called literate people accept injustice in the name of “Chalta he yar…”, “yahape time kisko he…”…Its really been so ridiculous, we fight in train if someone puts leg on our feet…we fight for fourth seat, we feel insulted when people rush to catch train and we don’t say anything when politicians ruin our lives, when a girl in next door been raped, when someone is killed on corner in India…or even when people seek bribe to give you a domicile certificate, when for hours we suffer load shading….</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"><span style="font-family:Garamond">What kind of literate we people are? <o:p></o:p></span></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Garamond"><o:p> </o:p></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="font-family:Garamond">I</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" >t was when Raj Thackeray spoke against outsiders coming in Mumbai and ruining the culture, there was voice from Sanjay Nirupam and etc. regarding Article 19 and right to travel, reside and profess anywhere in India…Yes right. Constitution gives you right to go anywhere and reside, profess but not to interfere and spoil the local culture. No one, even constitution gives you right to make political statements. This is what Constitution called “REASONABLE RESTRICTIONS”. It was amazing that neither government spoke anything on it neither the people fighting took any stand based on this provision.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Garamond"><o:p> </o:p></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="font-family:Garamond">Wh</span></b><span style="font-family: Garamond">en they referred constitution, we people had to accept even though we might be agreeing to point raised by Raj Thackeray, we might think yes Constitution gives right and talking against it is breaching fundamental rights.( I used the word ‘we’ because there has been same degree of hatred in Delhi, South and Goa on same fact) But actually, this is not the case. Even Constitution provides circumstances when Judiciary and Government can put some restrictions based on justifiable grounds which I think was available had it been rightly advocated.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Garamond"><o:p> </o:p></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="font-family:Garamond">Constituti</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" >on gives us right of environment and living with liberty.

People throw garbage on road, Street dogs and pigs sheets on road, there is bad smell in muhallas, lack of cleanliness around my house, people shamelessly sit on train tracks in morning and we people don’t complain. We have been suffering this for ages and we don’t ask anyone to stop this. Count in your daily life when we get annoyed by such events, which actually breach our rights. But we have accepted it without any reason. We expect Municipality, and government to do something, when we are not aware of our rights, how we expect them to be aware of their duties?</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Garamond"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Garamond">Today women are surely not living a great life.

Can’t women raise voice and compel the government, society, judiciary to take serious steps to stop rape Crimes?

What’s ridiculous, the tolerance is not from the illiterate women, they are the urban, most educated and from self mannered homes and societies. Still they don’t feel its injustice with their dignity and liberty. If someone feels deprived, you can help them, the frustrating thing is today women don’t feel being insulted or deprived by the ill behavior of society with them.

This is ridiculous, why we have been tolerating this for years? If meter is FOR HIRE, they are obliged to come where we tell them. Today you go to any place, we ask them..”Bhaisahab chaloge kya?” Why the polite question?

They used our lacks of crores Rupees to give favors to telecom companies, to builders…and everyone is involved. Today we expect that all scams should come in picture and open, Swiss bank money should come in India, we expect those people to take actions who have committed wrong. Is it possible in next 7000 years to come? Why we people don’t become demanding and pressuring those inactive bullshits? Why don’t we take things into our hand like what happened in Libya and Saudi. Isn't it our right that we shall get good food, water and power? 80 % of Indians have been denied. What have we got in last 60 years?

Imaging what will happen if in election results it has been declared that voting is 90% and 60 % voted no one is eligible.

Unless we start behaving and showing the world that we are the boss, the world will never recognize. This is the matter of attitude. Attitude doesn't mean overconfidence. I am not talking of showing off your abilities. But there is a fine line of what you have and what you can project. If you can’t tell the world that you have something, your finest ability might be underestimated. Or people might not recognize you as the best, even though they are aware about your strengths. This is not showing off your ego, but yes believing on yourself and that belief reflects in you behavior. You should therefore first start behaving like a king; the world eventually accepts your superiority.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:16.0pt; font-family:Garamond"><o:p> </o:p></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: 21px; ">The question of our attitude came forward in few instances.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:16.0pt; font-family:Garamond">It was when Michael Jackson came in <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">India</st1:place></st1:country-region>. We got crazy. It has been really point of research that what exactly we are crazy about them. Its fine about their excellence, but don’t we sometime have blind faith? Do we still get away with white skin? This has been always the case, even today, there are people, who blindly believe what white people do is right. They are carried away by their words, even sometimes their presence.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>I have seen it in Corporates, in dramas where I have been in contact with such people and could see the reactions of other Indians.

People had to pay 1Lakh to have dinner with MJ. I heard that he just came had one spoon and went away…this is the attitude they have about us. And we still feeling blessed when they smile at us! We are still leaving in psychological slavery.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:16.0pt; font-family:Garamond"><o:p> </o:p></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: 21px; ">The recent instance was Mr. and Mrs. Obama visit. The visit was good. It carries importance. But it was really shocking the weight age that Indian media gave to every move of Mr. Obama. He came, he sat in car, now he left for Taj…It was a important event and you should give it due prominence. But why so undue importance?</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:16.0pt; font-family:Garamond">Actually the purpose of visit of Mr. Obama was begging. He knows how strategically and economically important is <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">India</st1:place></st1:country-region>. He knows <st1:place st="on"><st1:country-region st="on">India</st1:country-region></st1:place> has ability to lend helping hand and that’s for he was here. He has meeting with businessmen; meeting with Mr. PM. This is what he was for. But look at the attitude with which he was living in <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">India</st1:place></st1:country-region>. It was attitude of being first person of superpower of the world. Today even though US is living in all time of Economic crisis, with lowering growth rate and increasing unemployment. Even people of US are not satisfied with working of Obama. But we are mad for him. He had a chat with youngsters in Mumbai. It was definitely an attempt of creating soft corner for him. I liked the attitude with which these young people asked questions. You might be anyone, but there are certain questions we have about your and your nation’s behavior. We are the citizens of tomorrow’s superpower. And what was <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">India</st1:place></st1:country-region>’s current politicians. He was speaking with such a confidence. Our PM was looked lacking of it. We somewhere were down on knee before him. We should have behaved with him in a way that please forget all your <st1:country-region st="on">US</st1:country-region> ego…and treat <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">India</st1:place></st1:country-region> on equity. We are of your status and please don’t forget you came here because it was your need. While he went with 50,000 employment and million $ agreements, its really a question what <st1:place st="on"><st1:country-region st="on">India</st1:country-region></st1:place> gained out of it.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:16.0pt; font-family:Garamond"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:16.0pt; font-family:Garamond">Now, we are becoming stronger financially day by day. We should understand our own strengths and the attitude now should reflect in our behavior. We should now start putting our demand more aggressively. Now the world knows that <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">India</st1:place></st1:country-region> is becoming superpower. We have big market with us. This is no longer our liability which others will exploit like east India Company. We are not a poor nation like in 17<sup>th</sup> Century. Now, world knows we should treat <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">India</st1:place></st1:country-region> with utmost respect.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:16.0pt; font-family:Garamond">But we should look ourselves beyond what world is looking. We should gain the position of US. It’s not only financially strong but it has tremendous say in International politics, World Bank, UN. US attacked <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">Afghanistan</st1:place></st1:country-region> in the name of fighting against terrorism and world could say nothing even understanding the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">dadagiri </i>of US. What if <st1:country-region st="on">India</st1:country-region> today attacks <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">Pakistan</st1:place></st1:country-region>? We tomorrow have to reach the position where, world had to lift their head up to see <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">India</st1:place></st1:country-region>.

The reason was very appreciable Suprem courts wordings on the issue when Justice B Sudershan Reddy and Justice SS Nijjar rightly asserted that unaccounted money was nothing but plunder of the nation with serious security ramifications. “Its pure and simple theft of national money.” Whery rightly commented by SC.We are very much thankful to Supreme court which has raised a voice and forced government on something worse in administration of nation. We are really thankful to our Constitution who gave this autonomy to judiciary apart it from executives. There has been Rs.20,00,00,00,00,00,000 (deliberately not written in words, count twice!!) this much money is deposited in Swiss banks owned by Indians (politicians and political big shots).</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:16.0pt; font-family:Garamond"><o:p> </o:p></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: 21px; ">The amount was declared and first reaction from Indians…. “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">Big deal</i>…it was <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">expected</i>”!!!...

All money produced in the economy is circulated within either goes to government through tax to finance (politicians and residual for) development plans. This money is used for the betterment of infrastructure, for creating good employment, opportunities and this is everything for what we pay to government. The money earned and produced in economy, brought in economy from outer space (like export) is used for the betterment of my nation and citizens. Then isn’t it shameful if half of the amount is lying in foreign nations which are not used of our economy at all. Foreign nations are using this money to finance and develop themselves. Who gave rights to politicians to dispose of money which we earned, the way they want?

Do these treaties more important than <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">aam admi</i>? Who is important? These pieces of papers and words written or the lives of the citizen of our nation?

Grammatically, I never understood the arrival of the word. Does this anywhere derived from the word “man”?. Wikipedia describes ‘women’ as irregular plural.<br /><em>(to remove doubts, here the word ‘women’ is to be taken as noun and not as person.)<br /></em><br />She always played an important role in society. From the very existence of human being. From the ages human started living in groups, they form groups of man and women. There might be physical attraction also…but need of social completeness would have been more prominent. And you need not be sociology expert to understand he and she completes the family. If he is strong, she is sensitive. If he is practical, she is emotional. If he makes his mind stone alike, she covers it with blossom. Nature created both to complement each other. John Gray, writer of well known book said..” <em>Where men are from mars, women are from venues, so as there are differences</em>”. Something which each one should respect.<br /><br />She loves, cares, understands. Psychology and behavior pattern of her is different, very soft and beautiful. When she loves, no one else loves you more. When she cares, she can’t think anything else. She is sensitive, so she needs someone to be her. She is emotional so she liked to be loved. She may not speak everything, but she likes someone else to understand it. But, she is strong too. When she decides, thousands of storms cant even disturb it. Her emotions are not always her weakness. She is thus the perfect piece of creature to nurture. Hence, nature donated the beautiful gift of motherhood to her only.<br /><br />However for ages, her softness was misinterpreted as her weakness. There created Male dominated society. She was denied her rights. She was denied equality. She was denied development. Now things are being changed. More in cities, where women started coming forward. From Engineering to Management and from politics to defence, women are participating at par with men. Rather there was never any need to distinguish these two wheels in capabilities. However, her arrival on public front have gave rise to some other aspects as well.<br /><br />Money earning was dominated by him until. How he can tolerate she earns as well. Today, many women face the problem of non acceptance of women working. From mild resistances like not being ready to work in team, or unwilling to render help to ridiculous cases of sexual harassment are the indications of woman is not fully accepted in office.<br />We, in Mumbai might not understand the situation. Today, in Mumbai she works as hard as he. She is as intellectual, as practical, as growth oriented and target driven. She is ready to compromise on her emotions, her family responsibilities or her basic instincts. She works late, she leaves home early. There is virtually no ground for which boss can differentiate he and she. Rather due to her basic instincts, she has created big challenges to him. She possesses certain inborn qualities which he doesn’t always.<br /><br />She is more creative and innovative which is mantra of today’s management. She can think out of box and dig below the ground. She can think from thousands of angles before arriving decision. She can handle the stress more calmly and with perfection. She can complete the task with more precision. She has thinking of using resources at her disposal more diligently. And all these traits are not developed from any Dale Carnegie workshops. These are some things which she has been doing, using and working every now and then.<br /><br />But, the problem becomes more intolerable when she is his boss. How can I accept her as my boss? is the question of many men (in silence).Some men confess it also. This is because, we still think socially that she should always be lesser than him. While marrying she should have lesser age, lesser height. (I didn’t say lesser salary which white colour people consider out of dated idea.)Again I am not talking about metros, where in most places superiority is judged on merits. But here also the psychology has not been changed completely. Today she leads the Companies, she leads social activities and she leads political party also. Again, due to her inborn traits she is best equipped with Leadership qualities. She is best Economist. She can handle the resources better. It has been proved that she can be better Finance Manager than him.<br /><br />Having said that women are coming front and running as hard as men in the race of life, unlike men they are also expected to fulfill their family responsibilities. It’s her first work, her duty… and she is also expected to earn for you. Isn’t it unwise demand of society? But she does this also, and does it with perfection as a great athlete. She balances home and office. She balances work and sasubai’s expectations. She balances assignments and child’s study. She balances increased targets and husband’s mind too. There is no intention to rule out the same situations for unmarried girls. She also has to balance her personal life and professional life. She has to fulfill expectations of her family and her office. She has to focus on her career while concentrating on her social duty, she has to be up to mark with her colleagues while respecting reasonable social limitations which are not applicable to her male colleagues. She has to cope up with changing material, psychological and social situations and to live multiple roles at the same time. In both the cases, she loves to live relations and emotions. So, not always she does it out of compulsion but rather she does it with pleasure and utmost enthusiasm. Only she can balance it well. Something for he really hats off her! <br /><br />In the race of such panic, she finds herself sometimes in no mans land, alone, unsupported. After all she is a human, and that too more sensitive and emotional person amongst two, who needs care, love and support. Some are fortunate to have an understanding partner and family, some are grossly unfortunate. But, they carry on and carry with same energy next day.<br /><br />The Common problem many working women and girls face is not finding time for them. While devoting time to her Family, husband, children, Friends, Sas-sasur, relatives & relations (these two are different), maika and sasural, office, assignments, targets, increasing work pressures, competition….She finds nil residual for herself, and this has been increasing her panic more.<br /><br />The article is not to list out problems of women, but on this your day, he just wants to remind her…he knows and is very respectful for what she is doing. He might have not given enough importance to her…but her efforts have not being un-noticed.<br /><br />What P.L Deshpande rightly said…she, like Rangoli wherever goes…carries her colour and make it colourful. <br /><br />The World is beautiful…but she has made it more beautiful place to live..!!<br /><br /> HE THANKS HER!<br /><br /><br /> </div>हर्षद मानेhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03255986001396019195noreply@blogger.com0
