THE TOLERANT CIVILIZATION OF INDIA

INDIA, the country of great civilization, great culture and diversity which it earned by assimilating new religion, faith and ideas open heartedly. Weather it came from within the society like JAINISM, BUDDHISM or SIKHISM or from any other part of the world like CHRISTIANITY, ISLAM, ZOROASTRIAN, JUDAISM and many more. Because the core belief of this land says that the supreme power, the god gifted us these religions and cultures for our spiritual nourishment, our well being and moral prosperity not for what is happening these days, mankind is servering religion by trying to spreading it till last corner of the earth. This practice seems like " rider being ridden by horse". I think that is why we do not have any supremely authoritative text. On this land God did not declared any final truth, i think god had some hope from this land of seekers that they will find it by their own. Actually this desire of seeking of the truth gives us a meaningful spiritual life but in case you are handed truth in the very first chapter of your life then it is very evident that you waste rest of your life in convincing or sometime compelling others to believe on your subjective truth but this land never did this injustice to its progeny. That's why we have more than 100 interpretation of our Ramayana, Mahabharat and Gita. Because we respect everybody's truth. After all respecting and adorning the truth, the God lies in every heart is more important than any scripture or holy text.

We have some oldest Christian of earth in Kerala, the second mosque of the world after Madina erected in Gujrat by permission of a hindu king, this is the only country which never persecute Jews, we have micro minority Zoroastrian living here with dignity. The core philosophy of this civilization is so liberal that it never resist any new idea, philosophy or scientific discovery contrary to that we lived in harmony with these. Unlike west where geniuses like Galileo, Socrates, Archimedes had to die or persecuted, we revered our scientists and innovators calling them Rishi or Maharishi like rishi kanak, rishi Bodhyayan, rishi sewetketu and rishi Charvak who's philosophy is not coherent with any Indian philosophy.

We have witnessed brutal conquest, persecution and confrontation but yet retain our cultural roots. We may have lost battle of sword but we resisted intellectually for more than thousand year but nowadays this great believe system is moribund not because of any external aggregation but because of deficiency of confidence in our own culture. We have our reference point of social values in west, our every greatness of past should be certified by them first then only we recognize it.

In Syria every school going kid learn stories of great Indian traders of 4000 year ago, in Lebanon everybody reads about 4300 year old temple made by Indian traders, with the help of Indian labourers of stone brought form India and having a lotus on its ceiling. Does any Indian child know about Angkor wat in combodia made by khmer king suryavarman 1000 years ago which is the largest temple of earth.
Our education system is legging in telling tell us about our glorious past so it is unable to build pride about who we were and who we are. Then how come this progeny will make a pride Nation

MAHARISHI BHIMRAO AMBEDKAR

Maharishi Bhimrao Ambedkar. Its a wierd way to commemorate Ambedkar as a maharishi. A presone who defied veda's authority all his life after learning that veda's are prejudice for shudra. Who is shudra and who is Brhaman has been debated from long, whether this terms meant to defined by cast or by born of a person. Similarly who is maharishi is also debatable in modern times, who should be called Maharishi , is it a gender agnostic term or only male scholars could be Maharishi ? would only a person comes from a particular caste or clan can have claim over this title ?
Let's try to find out answer in our scriptures and mythology.

Many ancient sages and rishis came from humble backgrounds. Vishwamitra was a warrior by birth but practiced austerities like a Brahmins and became a great rishi. Sage Parashar, the famous law giver, was the son of an outcaste (chandala). Rishi Vashista was born to a prostitute ,while sage Vyasa, the original author of the Mahabharata, was born to a fisherwoman. Rishi Valmiki the original composer of Ramayana came from a tribal family of traditional hunters. Some composers of the Vedic and Upanishadic hymns belonged to either lower castes or mixed castes. Satyakam Jabala was born to a prostitute who could not tell him who was his father.

                             Manu himslef said Brahmin is an incarnation of dharma born to protect dharma as ambedkar saheb did throughout his life. But in present time his name is remembered as a person who bring RESERVATION in Constitution. That is why backward classes revered him as a prophet while been out of reach of reverence of forward classes. Remembering B.r. Ambedkar just as a giver of reservation or a leader of a particular class would be a huge unjustice to the society. When one look at Dr. Ambedkar's life,masseges and achievement he was a lot more than this.

Ambedkar was a prolific student, earned a law degree and various doctorates from Columbia University and the London School of Economics, and gained a reputation as a scholar for his research in law, economics and political science. In his early career he was an economist, professor, and lawyer and later emerged as a law giver, philosopher and a social reformer who rekindled Buddhism in indian society. He was also a strong believer in democracy by his intellect he played a major role in making of Constitution, a Democratic form of government through which he tried to establish a Democratic form of SOCIETY.

                If we honestly juxtapose his contribution with our former reformers and  maharishies like Aryabhaat, charak,valmiki it was not lesser to anybody,so in my opinion he evidently deserves this title and respect of Maharishi in our society.

As purush sukta of RIG VED  says shudra bron out of bhramas feet and feet of god usually most worshipped part of body.
So for us its time to follow vedas commandments and adopt Ambedkar saheb as latest MAHARISHI of hindu society

AVTAR 1.0 (DASHAVTAR)

In 1859 Charles Darwin came up with theory of evolution. Darwin published his theory of evolution with compelling evidence in his 1859 book On the Origin of Species, overcoming scientific rejection of earlier concepts of transmutation of species. By the 1870s, the scientific community and much of the general public had accepted evolution as a fact. But still it was not allowed to teach anything which goes against biblical stories untill Clarence Darrow in 1930 established this in famous scopes vs state or scopes monkey trail. The trial publicized the Fundamentalist–Modernist Controversy, which set Modernists, who said evolution was not inconsistent with religion, againstFundamentalists, who said the word of God as revealed in the Bible took priority over all human knowledge. The case was thus seen as both a theological contest and a trial on whether modern science regarding the creation–evolution controversy should be taught in schools. Sanatan scripture,sanatan puranas(vedic stories) has a subtle evidence of Darwin's theory. Dasavtar of vishnu quit resembles with this theory. This is not something like new discovery but widely known and accepted. Sir John Woodroffe (1865-1936), Advocate General of Bengal and Legal member of the erstwhile Govt. of India, had the same conclusion after the study of vedic texts. He said and I quote,
"Ages before Lamarck and Darwin, it was held in India that man has passed through 84 lakhs births as plants, animals, inferior species and then came the ancestors of developed man existing today. The theory was an act of brilliant deduction in which observation may also have had played part!"
Many articles and explanations have given of this resemblance so I will not go in much detail but just for better understanding lets take a succinct veiw

Matsya -the fish, a aquatic life form engendered in water to  save Manu from the super catastrophe 
Kurma- the amphibian life form the supporter of the world Varah- the boar, the terrestrial or mammal incarnation 
Narsimha- half man - half loin, beast tends to be a man by wining over a demon hiranyaksyapu
Vamana- the dwarf man or pygmoid followed by
Parashuram- fully developed jungle dweller wielding primitive arm Axe
Ram- A civilized man with more sophisticated arms like bow and arrow and highly developed social structure and relationship institution. Age where homo sapiens and proto humans (vanaras) both exist
Krishna- purna avtar the complete human being who not only following social and moral codes but also break them when it needs.
Buddha- the enlightened one, the wiser man, who not only thinks about mundane luxury or comfort but beyond human human existence, the spiritual side.
Kalki- the destroyer, intended to come in kaliyug.

But in these kinds of versions we miss the important half of our society WOMEN , so lets trace presence in this version of human history.
It first appeared in Vaman avtar as mother Aditi who's husband abandoned her after the birth of last son who is Vaman himself , which suggest that institution of marriage was not well structured and well defined. As Scriptures says rishi svetketu codified this institution of marriage but it doesn't means before this institution women were subservient to men in any which way, either they were equal as both had right to end up the relationship or women were superior as they had right to choose their partner. Which last till long in form of Swayanvar.
Next avtar Parashuram a mertinet a strict rule follower, was son of jamdagni and renuka. Where father had abjured mundane life but still living his hermit life with his wife and children. Which means commitment of husband wife's relationship was stronger than before.
In Ram avtar importance had given to almost every relationship which we are celebrating today whether it is brother -sister, mother-father, inlaws or friendship. Ultimately this newly developed human society was at peak of purity of social and moral values even this avtar fought against breach of this codes with Tadka, Surpnakha, Bali, Ravan. Everyone of them were guilty of breaching these highly respected moral values like Bali kept tara his younger brother's with him after denying Sugriv of his share of property. Ravan also guilty of stealing Ram's wife. Tadka was notorious asura who disturbes rishis in yagya and their free movement in jungle. Surpnakha, being a woman tried to seize other woman's right. So that is why this avtar called maryada purushottam "The ideal man"

Next one is not ideal but he is purna avtar "the complete man" KRISHNA avtar. This avtar does not only respect social ethos and moral but also break them when it needs. This suggests that the relationships meant to be respected are not sacrosanct, even they could be corrupted. When devar (brother in law) behave not like Laxman but like Duryodhan, he is worthy to penalize. When Jesth pita (uncle or grandfather) discriminates between his children and children of his younger brother and deprived them of their rights, its ok to be disobedient towards him. All highly respected elders like pitamah, gurus or elder brothers should vacant their legal position in royal court if they allows breaching of fundamental principals (mul dharma of shastra) to protect rules (niyam made by interpreting shastra) in their presence.
Krishna also introduced two other relationships between man and woman. Which are of sheer friendship and sheer love.
Two most important women in krishna's life were RADHA and DROPADI. Radha was one with who krishna never got married but the most revered and celebrated woman of krishna charitra and another one is beloved sakhi of krishna, central character of mahabharat greatest epic of Hinduism.

Buddha the enlightened one. Buddha's life itself was a message to mankind, it signifies that gaining love, comfort or luxury is not the ultimate goal of human life. Human life is much more than this mundane pleasures. Being the most exquisite and evolved species of this planet our goals cannot be so trivial. At a point of life we have overcome of this animals instinct of dominance, sex, love for life and fear of death and strive to be the enlightened one, attained self realization and transcend humanity and become god, god of your own's world.

PRESERV / RESERV FULE

The turmoil by which West Asia going through is not something of which India can shrug shoulders both strategically and fuel security wise. The first thing to worry about India is the disengagement of other terrorist groups of the region like Al-Qeada. To preserve their relevance they have to gain ground somewhere else. Prior India was on  third preference of Al-Qaeda but now they may try to hunt ground on Indian borders with help of our neighboring country. But this is not our issue today because it is something to be cared about by our MEN in olive green on which our country can bank upon blindfolded

The second most important concerne is our oil reserve because whenever chaos happens in West Asia it jeopardize our energy security . 80 percent of our import is from this region even the premonition of chaos raise the oil prices in world market as it happened in 1990 and because of which India ran out of its foreign reserves and we had to mortgage our 54 tonnes of gold and accept the austerity majors of IMF, rest is history .

Fortunately nothing like this took place this time. Discovery of shell gas in America tamed and subside the oil prices in the world market. There is a talk that  America kept price lower deliberately so Russia suffers more of sanctions imposed on it by EU and America this is a most acceptable version among many given by the Scholars of international relationship. This also delivered a subtle warning to India. Oil being the vital commodity that it is mear "intent" can affect supply demand dynamics considerably and issue that oil importers like India simply cannot ignore however opportunities to change this tied does exist

.The lower oil price and sanctions imposed on Russia by the West for its land grab in Ukraine have left its fragile economy on the brink of recession.

To addresse energy insecurity Atal Bihari Vajpayee government mooted the concept of strategic petroleum reserve in 1998.To ensure energy security, the Government had decided to set up 5 million metric tons (MMT) of strategic crude oil storages at three locations namely, Visakhapatnam, Mangalore and Padur (near Udupi). These strategic storages would be in addition to the existing storages of crude oil and petroleum products with the oil companies and would serve as a cushion in response to external supply disruptions. Today with India consuming upward of 4 million barrels of crude everyday (January 2015 figures) the case for creating such reserves grows stronger. It is unlikely that India energy needs will dramatically move away from fossil fuels in near future. This is a measure a strategic risk and poses a massive financial drain for an embattled economy and its going current account deficit. The strategic oil reserves project was mooted in 1998 and commission in 2003. After extensive land acquisition and testing site suitability, security and design related issues it was only in February this year that country began filling up a strategic storage facility. With the government planning to add storage capacity to the tune of 39 million barrels in future, India stand poised to cover only 10 days supply of imports (January 2015 figures). This is well short of vision 2020 that envisages 90 days of imports, conservatively pegged at almost  360 million barrel s of oil, according to 2014 figures.

But all this capacity building is expensive. For instance 10 days of imports are pegged at almost ₹ 4000 crore for infrastructure and subsequent storage costs work out to $17-18 per barrel. There is also a time delay involved. According to 2012 statement by Rajan Pillai, CEO, Indian strategic petroleum reserves Limited, adding 12.5 million tons of stockpile Would take at least 5 years.

Despite the constraints, with a stable Political situation and readily accessible markets, India is in a good position to address some of its disadvantages. Having the lowest crude oil price of last 2 decades (besides the sudden dip in feb 2009 for a short time)  we should seize the opportunity to strengthen back bone our economy.

INDIA viz a viz CHINA(an economic comaprsion)

INDIA VS CHINA

India and China are core competitors in Asia region, economically and strategically both nations are struggling for dominance. Recent slowdown in china filled our analyst with euphoria, most of them claiming that Tiger beat Dragon somewhere near 2017-18. Perhaps it may come in terms of GDP % .but this % wise comparison would be very opaque for who doesn't belong to economy discipline  so it's very much needed to take a look at some actual statistics, before filling ourself of FALSE pride.

             comparison between these two Nation is very inevitable, both are competing in same niche for ascendancy. For instance both Nations lack energy security, dependent on other Nations for their oil and gas need.Mainstays of both's economy are Agriculture and demography(labour force),both have big consumer market. Last but not least both are indulged in a territory dispute because of which had a war between them in 1962. But as far as economic concern lets discuss every parameter separately

AGRICULTURE-
INDIA and CHINA both are major exporter of wheat,rice,tea,coffee and cotton but China is leading in most of these agriculture commodities .basically China is largest grain producer and exporter of world.

But in comparison it is necessary to mention some facts like India has 46 % of its land under sown area and China has only 15 % . Even if we talk in terms of land area ,for India it is 141 million hectares and for China it is 80 million hectare. Means Indian is way ahead, India also has some more advantages like fertile soil and tropical climate which gives it some more natural potential for agriculture than China. But India's land to productivity ratio is very less than China.

MANUFACTURING-
India's manufacturing share in its GDP is 19% while China's share is nearly~52% but recently Mr.Modi's pet initiative to boost manufacturing"MAKE IN INDIA" raised hope among optimistic economists. How this initiative will effects India is remains to be seen but when china embarked on manufacturing their was no labour laws, no trade Union, so no strikes,neither any other regressive company act nor any other boundations of democracy, not having all these are not good Oman for a democracy but certainly beneficial to shot up countries manufacturing sector's growth. It is stark truth that this is how all major developed countries started growth in time of World War II like Germany,Japan,Russia(erstwhile Soviet Union) and USA.
If we look at government policies, Chinese policies are growth promoting, for instance unlike India Chinese government give subsidy on LPG, Electricity and land for factories and for SEZ so it incentivized growth.while in India we get subsidy for domestic purposes. Nearly 2000 Major SEZs are in China which export a lot every year ,just  because of this China is a export driven economy ,they export 59 % out total while India export only 24% of its manufacturing.
India's land rate electricity rates and interest rates are highest in the world comparative to other countries like U.K ,USA and Germany

GIVEN DATA is of 2006-07

SERVICE SECTOR-
as far as service sector is concerned India is doing well ,we are rising power in design, software, outsourcing and precision industry. India's service sector contribute 51% in its GDP while China's share is 41 %.

All leading credit rating agencies including IMF and World Bank saying India will overtake China soon in terms of GDP percentage but still there is something important to keep in mind that China is 10.35 trillion dollars economy because of 10 % average growth rate since its economic reforms 1978  and india is 2.047 trillion dollars economy.
So even if India growth at 10 % ratetill 2035 ,It Would Still Be 15.5 trillion dollar economy with the compound growth rate which will still be lower than Chinese economy's anticipated growth till 2035 at lowest level
India's population growth is almost double of China (1.55 %of india and 0.66 % of China ) and by 2025 India may overtake China as world's most populous country .which means the per capita GDP gap widen further with comparison to China and western countries. India's per capita GDP is 1625.64 dollar and for China is 7572.36 dollar so finally to beat China soon India has to seize its demographic dividend with a fine economic strategy and better policy

POLITICIAN OR PROTAGONIST

भारत कहने को तो दुनिया की सबसे तेज़ी से बढ़ती अर्थव्यवस्था है पर साथ् ही
साथ दुनिया के सब से ज़्यादा गरीब , कुपोषित ,और बेरोजगार लोग भी भारत में ही बसते है । हालाकि भारत विकास के क्षेत्र में आगे बड रहा है पर हर प्रबुद्ध नागरिक यह मानता है की इस देश को अपनी गति से नहीं बल्कि उस गति से आगे बढ़ना होगा जिस की इसे ज़रूरत है।मसलन हमारे देश में आने वाले 20 साल तक हर महीने 10 लाख नए युवा रोजगार ढूंढने निकलेंगे तो जाहिर है हमारे रोजगार पैदा करने की क्षमता भी इसी हिसाब से बढ़ानी होगी । इन सब तथ्यों को देखते हुए ये स्वतःसिद्ध हो जाता है की इस देश को कड़े आर्थिक और सामाजिक सुधारो की जरुरत है, और इस के लिए हमे एक मजबूत प्रधान-मंत्री चहिये । मगर पिछले 35- 40 के राजनीतिक घटनाक्रम पर नजर डाले तो दिखता है की मतदाता ने बड़े वादे और लोक-लुभावने कामो पर ज़्यादा भरोसा दिखया है बजाय की स्थायी सुधार के। पी.वी नर्सिंघ्मराओ जिनके 1991 के आर्थिक बदलाव भारतीय इतिहास का अहम् अध्याय है और अटल बिहारी बाजपेयी जिनकी दसवी पन्च वर्षीय योजना अब तक की सब से सफल पन्च वर्षीय योजना मानी जाती है ये दोनो ही कभी वापस सत्ता में नहीं आये। सही मायने में तो सिर्फ मनमोहन सिंह ही है जो इंद्रा गांधी के बाद दो बार प्रधान मंत्री बने । 2004 मे मनमोहन सिंह  जैसे विख्यात अर्थशास्त्री का प्रधानमंत्री बनना तो बड़े शुभ संकेत होते भारत के लिए अगर मतदाता ने मतदान भी उन्ही के नाम पर दिया होता ।मगर जैसा की संजय बारु की किताब उन्हें कहती है "दुर्घटनावश बने प्रधानमंत्री" और हम सब भी जानते है की वह प्रधानमंत्री कैसे बने !

                                                                        

                                                          2009 में भी उन्हें वोट मिलने का कारण यह तो नहीं था की वह कोई ऐसा बड़ा आर्थिक सुधार लाये थे विपरीत इस के , मनरेगा (जिस के कंधो पे सवार होकर वो दूसरी बार आये थे) के बारे में सभी स्वतंत्र अर्थशास्त्रियों  ने भी कई शंकाए ज़ाहिर की थी जो की बाद में सच साबित हुई।2010-2013 में जो खाद्य पदार्थ अभूतपूर्व ढंग से मेंहगे हुए उस का जिम्मेदार मनरेगा को ठहराया गया । 2013 में चुनावी माहोल में लाया गया खाद्य सुरक्षा विधेयक भी नीतिकारों के शंका के घेरे में है । जिसका वजन सरकारी खजाने पर सवा लाख करोड़ का है और देश के 70 % लोग इस के लाभार्थी बताये जा रहे है ।इस का उद्देश्य देश के 70% लोगो को सस्ता अनाज देना है पर जो दो वक़्त की रोटी कमाने में असमर्थ है , पर इन् की संख्या तो 17-21% है और ऐसे लोगो के लिए तो पहले से ही कई योजनाये मौजूद थी ।वो बात अलग है की वह सभी भ्रष्टाचार की भेंट चढ़ गयी और भूखे लोग अब भी भूखे ही है । बाकि 50 % यानि मध्यम वर्गीय तो बिलकुल किसी सरकार से 2 रु किलो गेहू लेकर खुश होने वाला नहीं था जो की उस ने 2014 चुनाव में व्यक्त भी किया। इस तरह की योजनाये गरीब को हमेशा गरीब रखने और भ्रष्टाचार को बढ़ावा देने वाली होती है।  फिर इसे कोई चुनावी हथकण्डा कहे तो भी क्या गलत है ।बजाय इस के ये सवा लाख करोड़ हर साल कंही ऐसी जगह खर्च किये जाते की बेहतर रोजगार उत्पन्न होता ,निम्न मध्यम वर्गीय लोगो को नया व्यापार खोलने के लिए आसानी से ऋण मिल सकता । हिसाब लगा के देखा जाये तो 1 साल के सवा लाख करोड़ याने 5 साल के 6.25 लाख करोड़ रुपय जिस से देश के हर युवा को 2-2 लाख तक की सहायता आसानी से दी जा सकती थी  या फिर देश के 22% गरीबो को सहारा दे कर देश की गरीबी मिटाई जा सकती थी ( but practically it is not possible in our country ,check my article on food security for more information ).

2014 उम्मीद और उत्साह की लहार पर सवार हो कर नरेंद्र मोदी नेतृत्व वाली NDA सरकार आयी जिसका प्रचार इसी तर्ज पर किया गया की यह सरकार विकशोन्मुख सरकार होगी । पर मोदी के पास देश में विकास करने से ज़्यादा महत्वपूर्ण लक्ष्य है अपनी धुर विरोधी पार्टी कांग्रेस को जड़ से ख़त्म करना ।ताकि 2019 के चुनाव में मतदाताओ के पास भाजापा के अलावा कोई बड़ा विकल्प न बचे ।इसी वजह से मोदी अब तक कोई भी कडा कदम उठाने से बच रहे है ,और अगर कोई ऐसा फैसला लेते भी है कसी प्रत्याशित विधानसभा चुनाव को देख कर अपने कदम फिर रोक लेते है । जैसे की सत्ता में आते ही हरयाणा और महाराष्ट्र् चुनाव फिर दिल्ली और अब बिहार । मोदी भी वही कर रहे है जो उन के पूर्ववर्ती प्रधानमंत्रियो ने किया फ्री गाड़ियां, टी.वी , कपडे बाँटे जा रहे है  वे भली भाँति जानते है की बिहार में आर्थिक अनुदान की रेवड़ी खूब चलेगी खासकर खाद्य और उर्वरक क्यों बिहार में निम्न माध्यम वर्ग और किसान ज़्यादा है । 

बिहार के बाद बड़ी चुनोती 2016 में पश्चिम बंगाल में आएगी वँहा फिर देश का सबसे महत्वपूर्ण तंत्र देश को छोड़ के वँहा के चुनाव के राणनिति बनाने लग जायेगा ।उस के बाद 2017 में उ. प्र की बारी आजाएगी फिर 2018 में राजस्थान और मध्यप्रदेश और 2019 में लोकसभा चुनाव आ ही जायेगे फिर आखिर कार देश का प्रधानमंत्री अपने प्रधानमंत्री होने का फ़र्ज़ कब निभाएगा क्यों की पूरा कार्यकाल तो भाजपा की देश में जड़े मजबूत करने में निकल जायेगा । और फिर अंतिम समय में सरकारी खजाने अर्थात करदाताओ के पैसे से कोई बड़ी योजना लायी जायेगी और भी कई बड़े-बड़े वादे किये जायेंगे फिर से सत्ता हासिल करने के लिए ,सरकारी खजाने की कीमत पर
जैसा की अब तक होता आया है । पर दुःख की बात यह है की यह अनेतिक चुनावी फार्मूला देश में हिट भी रहा है ।पर इन सब बातो के बीच देश के लिए सोचने वाले प्रधानमंत्री की कमी वाली बात धरी रह गयी ।पर उस पर बात करने जैसा कुछ है भी नहीं क्यों की जो भी सत्ता पर काबिज होगा वो भी किसी न किसी पार्टी का नेता होगा फिर देश का प्रधानमंत्री । अर्थात हमारा वर्त्तमान तंत्र भले ही अच्छे राजनीतज्ञ बना रहा हो पर अब वक़्त आ गया है की कोई नायक  सत्ता संभाले ।

कल सरकार ने हड़ताल कर रहे सेवानिवृत्त सैनिको की one rank one pension की मांग को स्वीकार कर लिए । इससे न तो कोई खुशी की नहीं संतुष्टी की लहार दिखाई दी अन्दोलनकर्ताओ का कहना है की सरकार ने उन् के द्वारा सोपे गए मसौदे के 6 बिन्दुओ में से सिर्फ 1 को ही यथावत माना है बाकि सब में कुछ न कुछ उपांतरण किया जो की नागवारा है ।
में पूर्णतः OROP के पक्ष में हु और मानता हु की सेवानिवृत्त सैनिको को ससम्मान उन् का अधिकार मिलना चाहिये ।
                                                    पर अपनी मांगो के मसौदे को शब्दश   मनवा लेने की ज़िद्द को हम पहले भी कई बार देख चुके है चाहे वो अन्ना जी का लोकपाल हो या मज़दूर संघ् के मांग ।
विचारणीय पक्ष यह है की आज इस नाटकीय राजनीती के दौर में हर बड़ा परिवर्तन किसी न किसी न किसी आंदोलन की कोख से ही जन्म लेता है और हर बार आंदोलन कर्ताओ को जिद्द होती है की उन् की बात शब्दशः मान ली जाये । इस परिदृश्य में तो सरकार या प्रधानमंत्री की उपयोगिता सिर्फ रबर स्टाम्प जैसी ही दिखती है यानि बिना किसी विचार के सिर्फ अनुमति देना । अगर ऐसा है तो फिर इतनी बड़ी और खर्चीली व्यवस्था को रखने से क्या लाभ जिस में देश के उत्कृष्ट दिमाग मने जाने वाले नौकरशाह ,मंत्री ,प्रधानमंत्री इत्यादि है पर उन् का  कोई काम  नहीं ।
बेशक सत्याग्रह लोकतंत्र का सबसे मजबूत सस्त्र है पर इस तरह अविवेक पूर्ण अपने निजी स्वार्थ की लिए इस का उपयोग करना ठीक उस ही तरह है जिस तरह कोई उस डाली को कुल्हाडे से कटे जिस पर वो बैठा है।
