Is india really secular?


We live in world’s largest democracy, where we have 29 states, 7 union territories , more than 1000 languages, so many religious and ethnic groups, it has a diverse and vibrant culture. India is a piece of land which doesn’t need any introduction. We have the largest written constitution in the world, in which its preamble states that – “We, The people of india, having solemnly resolved to constitute india into a Sovereign Socialist Secular Democratic Republic and to secure to all its citizens Justice Liberty ,Equality and Fraternity’, preamble represents the intention of the people who made this holy constitution. I am snatching the word from the above and i want to discuss the term secular and secularism.Sometimes i wonder ,are we actually reaching to what the makers of the constitution had in their mind while thinking of the New and a developed India?. They were far better thinkers and well wishers of india as compared to us. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru has seen the india that, it would be a great nation in coming years which will be filled with happiness and peace, he divided the india just to create harmony among religious and linguistic groups, but i really don’t know what people of this nation still wants?, they have seen the dream of india as a one nation where all religions will live together and respect each other ,but one question is disturbing me ,are we (all the religions) together?.My answer is NO.

Recent case of dadri lynching has left me enthralled, i am still in a great shock and i want to re think that still after 68 years of independence, if this could happen then what can we expect from the future generations?. I mean they killed a muslim just on a rumor that he might have stored beef in their home? I mean seriously? Was that the sole reason?.What they got from this?, reverse they have created communal tension and shamed india on the world platform. People always criticize about muslim community, now what the Hindus did was that praiseworthy?. I mean killing the people of their country for the sake of the religion?. How can they stop anyone from eating anything?. I know cow is considered sacred from the hindu religious point of view but that is not the muslim's point of view; same goes with the muslims, they should not dominate the world by only preaching their religion and creating terrorism.Everyone loves their religion, we should respect each other.We should not kill each other.

Babri masjid demolition/ Godhra riots 2002, when i heard the stories about how hindu muslim killed each other in these unfortunate incidents, i lost faith in humanity for sometime, it happened in the country which is widely recognized for the its love and affection.I don’t even feel like writing this horrific incident here.I just want to say that just for a monument and for a temple, so many lives has been taken, is it justified?.What they got after this? Only the politicians gained and no one else.I mean why?. I feel angry,sad and tensed,all mixed in one.I just can't see the pictures on google of this incident, when i opened the page of this incident, the pics were so horrifying and disturbing, but what was more horrifying was the reaction of my HINDU friend who was sitting beside me, when i showed him, he said "saale yehi sab deserve karte yeh log ".I was like firstly you are are a human, start behaving like one, the people who were killed had nothing to do with your vengeance.We need to change this mentality of the people by imparting more quality education and should teach them religious tolerance, otherwise these cases will never get a full stop. Youth has the power to change this type of attitude.

Now a days i just like being called by my name not by my any caste or religion, i feel happy about it, i just thought the earth would have been so much better place if it is not categorized under any religion or language. God is really upset from us, why we are not understanding it?. Why people don't understand that he is not happy with the blood shedding, he is just happy with the love, peace, brotherhood and unity. He wants us to live together as a family and help each other. I hope the younger generation will understand my message.

“Existential Realization” – A view opposed to existential Crisis

One day at midnight, I was mindlessly sitting and reading stories about people and how their lives were going on Instagram and Facebook (which apparently shouldn’t be my concern at all). I was scrolling down the posts as if something was wrong with my finger as it was refusing to stop. I was looking at happy faces, big lavish lifestyles, ads (of the things I like) in between, holidays and many other things which were triggering me. And suddenly, I realised that what have we done to our lives? Are we all going insane? All we have is a "show and show off" attitude. With this, we are digging our mental grave so deep that it is now extremely difficult to come out of that mud. We are undoubtedly putting ourselves in a crisis without realising that it is killing our invaluable feeling of "existence". After making life a total mess, we find solutions to clean it up. We manipulate our own emotions and then try to convince our hearts with various techniques, and then try to

ऐ ज़िन्दगी ,अब मैं तुझे थोड़ा समझने लगी हूँ

एक वक़्त था जब खुद को ढूंढ रही थी, मौका तलाश रही थी खुद को तराशने का, मैं क्या हूँ ,मैं कौन हूँ और क्यूँ हूँ? , बस आज जब खुद को जानने लगी हूँ , अब लगता है खुद को इतना क्यूँ समझने लगी हूँ पहले दुःख मे रोती थी और सुख मे हंसती थी, आज ना दुःख में दुःखी और सुख मे सुखी होती हूँ, क्यूंकि समझ लिया है की इनके दोगले चेहरे है, कभी आते है कभी बिन बोले चले जाते है , अब इनका हाथ तो थाम लिया है पर इनकी तरफ देखने का मन नहीं करता , लगता है ऐ ज़िन्दगी अब तुझे थोड़ा समझने लगी हूँ लोग आएगें दो बाते प्यार की बोलकर चले जायेगें , जानती हूँ मैं , मैं फिर भी उनसे मोहब्बत बेशुमार करुँगी, क्यूंकि ज़िन्दगी बहुत छोटी है ये जान चुकी हूँ , लगता है ऐ ज़िन्दगी अब तुझे थोड़ा समझने लगी हूँ बीती बाते आज भी याद आती है, कितनी भी कोशिश कर लू ज़ेहन से नहीं निकाल पाती, कोई नहीं आएगा इस बक्से को बंद करने, ये खुद की जंग है खुद को ही लड़नी पड़ेगी , इतना जान चुकी हूँ मैं , लगता है ऐ ज़िन्दगी अब तुझे थोड़ा समझने लगी हूँ कोई नहीं याद करेगा तुझे मरने के बाद, शमशान मे जलाने के बाद ,कुछ दिनों में दिल से भी जला देगें,

Teaching - a Passion or Profession?

When i was pursuing law ,there were various career options that are available with me ,so it was on me to decide which way i have to push myself, where i would be perfectly fit in. Then i consulted and asked some people, all have tutored me differently ,some advised me that i should go for Judiciary, because there are scarcity of Judges and it is one of the most elite profession in the field of law ; Some told me that i should go for litigation because, it is quite challenging and never let your brain go underutilized ; Some told me that you are a Company Secretary ,you should go in corporate because there is so much money you can make out of it .I slipped into dilemma and i couldn’t take the decision, then i locked myself up in the room and thought for an hour that what i want to do with my life?. Then one thought came up into my puzzled mind that, I always wanted to be teacher (as it is in my genes also), because i felt that there are scarcity of efficient teachers also, over th
