Whose NGO is this anyway..

This NGO runs 27,041 schools in remote tribal areas providing free education to 7,53,123 tribal children.

This runs 1,70,000 social service project across India in areas including free health care, blood banks, AIDS awareness and prevention, awareness of new epidemics like swine flu, eye donation and reconstruction, help for special children, assistance to slum children, rehabilitation and recreation for disabled, rehabilitation of lepers, orphanages for destitute children, self-help training for women, women health, prevention of addiction, human rights campaigns, support for outcast communities, right of underprivileged women, rehabilitation of victims of terrorism etc

This organisation was usually the first group to volunteer on the spot during natural calamities like 1971 Orissa cyclone, 1977 AP cyclone, 2001 Gujarat Earthquake, 2004 Tsunami, 2009 hurricane in south, 2013 uttarakand flood and also to help the riot victims during 1984 anti-sikh riots, 2002 Gujarat riots, 2012 Asom riots, UP riots and various other unknown riots and calamities across india.

This group also conducts schemes to provide drinking water to remote villages, environmental awareness programs, activities for senior citizens, managing crowd in pilgrim centers, helping government in organising large scale festivals and so on.

This organisation volunteers went to war front to help the defense personal with logistics. For this, on Prime minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru's invitation, this group marched during 1963 republic day parade in Delhi. On request of Prime minister Lal Bahadur Shastri, these volunteers managed Delhi's traffic control during 1965 Indo-Pak war, so that policemen could be freed for defense duties, and also was thanked by Army General for support and relief work during war. During 1971 Indo-Pak war, these volunteers donated blood in large scale for injured defense personnel.

This NGO adopted 57 children (38 Muslims and 19 Hindus) from militancy affected areas of Jammu and Kashmir to provide them education at least up to Higher Secondary level, and also helped rehabilitate victims of 1999 Kargil war.

And this is an Indian NGO funded only by Indians. Do you know this NGO?

Govt subsidy for hindu pilgrimage

There were about 6.1% christians in 2001 and will be 7% in 2011 census. All 6-7% christians will want to go to bethlaham, so you can so 6-7% of TN population wants to go to bethlaham. Muslims were 5.5% in 2001 and must be around 6.5% now. So, another 6-7% of TN population wants to go to Haj. Now, hindus were 88%, but now will be somewhere at 85%. Out of that about 35% are either rationalists(atheists) or fans of rationalists. Another 35% have no idea what manasarover and muktinath are. Another 10% just doesn't care about these places and are happy with local temples, because hindus simply don't need to be tied to one temple or one book. Last 5% are the ones who really can associate with those places,gods and are keen to go there given a chance, but even thats not prescribed in a book as mandatory visit. Hence 250 seats are good enough. But what is important is govt should stop looting temple revenue and spend all of it on temples and hinduism related activities only.

Patriotism is the answer

I remember listening to indira, rajiv gandhi, bunch of PMs in between, Nrao, MMS, sonia gandhi, MGR, Jayalalitha, karunandhi, different CMs of karnataka, various presidents and so on till Kejriwal's negativism. You feel like an odd person in the crowd that is full of rogues and local rowdys listening to fake rhetoric speech.

Narendra Modi's speech on 27th Jan 2014 at Shreshta Bharat Divas in Mumbai here

Listening to Narendra Modi never feels like listening to politics, but some kind of leadership training specifically customized to your needs. Topics that are never heard from politicians, about strategic vision for India as a country, defense manufacturing locally, alternative energy, war memorials, energy self sufficiency, patriotism, strategic development etc. There is absolutely no mention of caste, minority-ism, divisives, subsidy, quota, freebies, new subsidy schemes and other fake rhetoric. Rally/speech by politicians has never been so motivating since the times of Nehru/Patel era. Never before politician's rallies started and ended with vande matrams and jai hinds.

Only person today who wakes up our sleeping patriotism, while we are all buried under our day to day challenges and enjoyments.

I was part of this famous and easiest position of educated and politically non-active people that 'everybody is bad', 'system itself is corrupt', 'nothing will change', 'politics is for rogues', 'who cares', 'bribary is a way of life', 'indians are assholes by nature' etc. Modi's speeches are wake up calls to our minds in sedation, and he makes you realize that negativism and knee jerk activism are not the solution, but strategic development, sense of unity and patriotism are the needs of this country.

Lokpal is not the answer, we already have swaraj, ie democracy. Anarchic activism is a check on the imbalance, it is not the government itself.

Patriotism is the answer. Development is the answer
