Do we Indians self shame ourselves?

There was this incident , a prominent professor of a Medical college while teaching , complained that Countries like USA follows their recommendations in filed of science, and write it to their books which we in any case read as "standard reference books"

Then he said that when we try to tweak that FDA CDC or USA standard mentioning that it is for USA mainland and not for India where local conditions are different, expert here cry and shout that this is without evidence and they will follow "more correct" international recommendation.

He linked it to patriotism, said that it was a patriotic act by Experts of specific countries to "trust" their Countrymen and while we indians are not patriotic in "true" sense .

Well , what he have Not noticed that when reference in field of Ayurveda, Yoga , Siddha, astrology, etc is taken , it is indian reference books, writers and works that are given precedence over Western Works

Its simply the fact that , modern medicine is a Western science. And we are all right to take standard input from pioneer institutes in this field.

As they take reference of our pioneer works and institute.

Last but not least, adequate localisations of Standards is necessary and that should be done. But to connect it with patriotism, is both wrong and dangerous as it can initiate a precedence of blind faithing , which is the most dangerous thing in a technical field .

What the Country has given me!

I often meet such people, full of frustrations , indifference and sometimes venom against the country and culture in general. They often argue , why should I care, what the country has given to me? . Whenever their support is asked for any good social effort they tend to envenomate their hatred. One of them even argued that I didn't gave application to be born in this country! So why I am expected to do this or that for sake of anything more then me and myself? Dude please acknowledge that you are living under security envelop of this country only. The general Security everyone enjoys inside a State is due to combined efforts of State and Society in the form of various defence forces that are ready to protect you from outside as well as inside danger. The very fact that you never needed to learn art of fighting seriously & still only with stroke of pen or some odd 9-5job you are surviving well enjoying ur evening with a nice drink, is only possible due to fact that th...

Supreme court is Supreme!!

There was this incident on Supreme court of India days back when respected justice Chamleswar took strong views against a Additional Secretory of Rajasthan Govt for appearing in court room in Simple dress of formal Pink shirt and Grey pant. All over the media this incident is reported & accepted as some thing which is just and right.  But Indian in me is not able to understand the said objection of respected Justice. Respected Justice Chamleswar ; had said that their is a dress code for Beurocrats , & that should be followed. He assumed that their is.  It was later clarified in court by Advocate of Rajasthan Govt that their existed no such dress code but the dress should be decent and mannerfull. Wearing a Formal Shirt with a Formal pant is a natural dress acceptable in Formal settings. Additions of Coat and Tie, is not appropriate for Hot and Humid climate country like India . Perhaps since respected judges since seldom come outside AC court ...

A thousand year anger!

India is an ancient country. We have a history of 5000 years in record. Right from the day Vedas was written , to the writing of Constitution of Modern independent India. Much has been changed , but there was something that was constant in all those 5000 years , and that was the hierarchy of Caste system. Yes it was part of Sanatana Dharma, the Hindu way of life and it has survived with it to today. From Manu to Mayawati , this notion of Caste has seen so much. And it is also true that it has lost its real intention somewhere in between , it is very correct notion in my opinion ; that it was never meant to be a Oppressive or suppressive system to ristrict some groups of people and to give sole right to some others, but it was made to simplify things, to simplify way of life . But , if modern thinkers see it as Negativity as Hurdle to all round development and theory of equality, then it is also true that there must be some thing rotten in this system from day 1 that came stingin...
