#3 “Division of States”.... Is this a legal demand?


In the diverse nation like India, where the people belongs to different castes, creeds, sects and religion, living together from centuries. It is very hard and important to understand and fulfill needs and demands. We know that we are union of states, which is divided on linguistic basis by our politician. Many new states formed after Independence. The main question is- Is this good for India or Not?
It is important to form state because in federal type of government it is easy to govern small states. And if all states developed together and govern well, then ultimately our country will develop. But after 66 years of independence this is not happening due to various problems.

It is a big deal in India to maintain unity and integrity among diverse culture. Due to presence of 22 languages and so many dialects, the people belong to one, hates other. E.g. - protest done by non-Hindi spoken states at the time when Hindi to be announced as a National language. Hence we have no national language. This diversity is a gift, but politicians use this for their political gain. In a big states where particular area is unaffected by development, feels neglected and lost their faith in government and start demanding new state. Problem is created when this neglected area is rich in natural resources. This is big threat to our unity. What is happening in "Telangana" is an example.

Division of state is beneficial in terms of better governance and proper development. Local languages and cultures may also be better preserved in smaller states. Creation of small state is one of the answers to reduce corruption or at least corruption amount. But it will lead us to a serious problem of hatred among them. Fulfilling demands to split certain states, may give rise to similar demands from other states. Creation of small state will further divide India.

This is the time not to play political game and ensure internal security. If we fail to solve internal complications, then how we tackle external threats. Remember, it does not matter “state is small or big, most important thing is- who are our law maker and administrator and how honest he is with his job and nation.”

#2 Naxalism "A Big Challenge for Indian Democracy"

The attack on congress convey by Naxalites in Darbha valley(Chhattisgarh) last month, again marked a black spot in history. Around 25 peoples killed including local leaders and several injured in the attack. This attack actually shows failure of the governmental policies against the Naxal movement.
Operation 'Green Hunt' was started in November 2009 to fight against Naxalites rebels by Indian Governments seems to be fail. Some are blaming to the operational disability of paramilitary forces. yes it is true that our paramilitary forces are trained to maintain law and order and not to fight against insurgencies, but reality on ground is very different.
The whole 'Red Corridor' which is affected by the serious problem, is tough geographic area. Military operations are very difficult  in that areas. It is hard to make difference between the innocent tribal people and rebels. And this is one of the main reasons that the government fails to make equal developments and planning as in other parts of the country going on. Since a long time the tribal people living a severe life. The are disappointed by the government, lost their faith in the Constitution, suppressed by the corrupt bureaucracy. And so they chose a way which is undemocratic and full of destruction.
To destroy the whole Naxal network is not a big deal for Indian Armed Forces, but to use them against our own people will give a wrong message. We can kill them but are is this a real solution? Answer is No. We have to go through the whole matter to the root of the problem. They want justice, equality and a life for which they misled themselves and picked up the weapons. Hostile Countries are helping them by providing arms and weapons so to unrest our country. 
It's time to take a productive steps by which we can solve the main problems of the tribal peoples. What it needs a essential start of development over that areas and giving them a better life to survive. By this way, we can bring them to the Mainstream of the country.

#1 Social Media "The virtual world, affecting the real"

Some peoples wants to find their old friends or relatives those who was not in contact with them. For this purpose they created a gateway where peoples can search the others, meet them, share their interests and lovely moments by pics and videos resulting a new evolution of web called Social Media.
It gives a tremendous energy to Internet and successfully able to increase the number of people on it. This evolution led the world to a very open environment which is very different from the real world but affecting it.

This revolutionary event of changing the real world not happened in a blow but  gradually ignited by the stupid policies of the government. People since a long time badly affected by the policies which suppresses the voice of people and established a censored world where the media is also seeking only the popularity among peoples. Social Media provides a platform where people shares their view, opinions about anyone freely and feedbacked by others too. The result are extraordinary in the decade resulting a spread of historic transformation of rule over middle east countries named Arab Spring, which was started from Tunisia and covered several countries under it. Egypt, Libya, Yemen are another examples. Syria is still burning. This revolutions  was supported by Social Media in a very big manner, and provided a way to show their anger against the government.
Some rules in various countries are in scary that the Social media can diminish them too. They started censoring the content over Internet and restrict the use of Social media to stop the uprises of peoples. Communist China are the best example, where the Media and the Internet are under the shadow of censorship.
This great evolution of Internet can change the whole world and establish a better environment where people will not afraid by the government and easily share their views and opinions which truly helpful for the government too to make a people favourable policies. And this is happening. The only need is to understand the aim of Social media both by the rulers and the common peoples. We have to know the use and its effectiveness on our real life. If this will happen, Social sites are more than what we understand it today.
