Where is God?


"लपक चाटते झूठे पत्ते जिस दिन देखा मैने नर को,
सोचा क्यों न आग लगा दूँ इस दुनिया भर को,
फिर सोचा क्यों न टेंटुआ घोंट दूं उस जगपति का,
जिसने यह घृणित स्वरुप दिया अपनी ही कृति को ।

writer:'Bal Krishan Sharma 'Naveen'.

Blaming God is like you yourself did something wrong and then just to vindicate yourself, you start blaming God

Man alone is responsible for his actions, God can only guide you what is wrong and right. God created enough grains to satisfy everyone's need but not for everyone's greed

personally ,i don't beleive RAM and RAHIM and has no reverence to temple and mosque but respect aesthetically. i don't believe in so called god(object) but in godliness(quality). i think poet is not blaming god he is blaming us for godliness because our godliness (to help poors etc..)only can prove the existence of god.

@mayank and amit,
I do not blame god for anything. I just want to mirror the realities of world to god who is established in the temples, mosques or churches. For me religion is personal matter not a matter of community or society.
For me only life is precious,than any abstract ideology.I agree that man alone is responsible for everything and he must leave this hypothesis of god and should involve with fellow human beings upliftment.IMO,The poet here is blaming the religious orthodxy of human than god.

@joiedevivre, not even me has understood the full meaning but these lines have been haunting me since first reading as a child. Regarding poem, The poet is disgusted on seeing the site of human eating food from the garbage.He lament on the fall of human society and mocks on the god created by us. He thinks to strangle neck of god and lead him/her to death as he/she has given such disgusting life form in creating world.

Kanpur Coaching Gurus

Image
Memories of coaching days at Kanpur are inseparable from me. I have done a separate post on Kanpur coaching mandi only. The most remembered image of my coaching days was the advertisement of Ankush Bhatia by Pran classes, and it was pasted on each wall of Kanpur. His photo was spread at distant corners of the city, showing All India Rank 51. Never seen any local marketing campaign like this. Sometimes, I recall the rush of students from one coaching center to another for seat capture, xerox copying of assignments, and 'out-of-course' study material. The JEE course was never completed on time in the Kanpur coaching mandi. At the end of March, the mad rush to complete the course began with various test series taking place simultaneously. I could not forget that pressure till now. I will never forgive Anish, Pankaj, and Vishnoi sir for combining their individual treats into 1 party for JEE-qualified students. For information on the pre-2000 AD days of coaching mandi, check this l...

Book Review: The Jihad Game: Inside Pakistan’s Dark War by Abhinav Pandya

The Jihad Game: Inside Pakistan’s Dark War by Abhinav Pandya The Jihad Game: Inside Pakistan’s Dark War by Abhinav Pandya | Goodreads ⭐⭐⭐⭐✰ Worth Reading India-Pakistan conflict (wars) is a challenging mostly negative-sum game where both countries are often in escalation cycles with no easy solution. The roots of the conflict, particularly cross-border terrorism supported by Pakistan trace back strongly to Kashmir.  Pakistan has long used Jihad   (religious war against infidels)   as a strategic tool in Kashmir, now reinforced by a nuclear umbrella. Kashmiri Muslims were predominantly Sunni Hanafi , practicing a syncretic, Sufi-influenced Islam shaped by local traditions (Rishiyat), shrine culture and coexistence with Kashmiri Pandits. What has changed over the years? Religious followership has shifted toward a more orthodox, radical Sunni Islamist and scriptural orientation  especially among youth. The 'Jihad Game' written by Abhinav Pandya (counter-terro...

On Tyranny

Now is a good time to re-read Tim Snyder's observations and advice in On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century . Here are observations from On Tyranny that seem especially pertinent. 1. Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do. 2. Defend institutions. It is institutions that help us to preserve decency. They need our help as well. Do not speak of “our institutions” unless you make them yours by acting on their behalf. Institutions do not protect themselves. They fall one after the other unless each is defended from the beginning. So choose an institution you care about—a court, a newspaper, a law, a labor union—and take its side. 3. Beware the one-party state. The parties that remade states and suppressed rivals were not omnip...

Part 1: भारतीय वायुसेना का संकट - GE Engine Delays, HAL Monopoly और Squadron Strength की समस्या

Image
क्या है Indian Air Force के साथ गड़बड़? 1. GE Engine Deal   भारतीय वायुसेना (IAF) आज बहुत बड़ी मुश्किलों का सामना कर रही है। GE F414 इंजन के लिए तेजस Mk2 और AMCA जेट्स की डिलीवरी में तीन साल की देरी हो चुकी है। पहले 2023 में MoU हुआ था, अब मार्च 2026 तक का इंतजार है। यह सिर्फ शुरुआत है। GE F404 इंजन जो Tejas Mk1A के लिए चाहिए थे, उन्हें भी अभी तक सही मायने में नहीं मिले। 2023 से ही deliveries miss हो रही हैं। 2025 के बीच तक सिर्फ 3 इंजन मिले हैं। HAL को हर साल 12-16 जेट्स बनाने हैं, लेकिन इंजन न मिलने से वो भी नहीं हो पा रहा। GE ने मार्च 2026 में 12 इंजन देने का वादा किया है, पर उस पर भी निर्भर नहीं हो सकते। GE Engine Deal में क्या समस्या है? तीन मुख्य समस्याएं हैं GE के साथ negotiations में: Technology Transfer का झगड़ा : भारत चाहता है कि कम से कम 80-100% technology transfer हो ताकि भारत आगे जा सके। GE हमेशा कुछ बातें रोक कर रखता है - source code, manufacturing के secrets, सब कुछ पूरा नहीं देता। यह भारत की आत्मनिर्भरता में रोड़ा अटकाता है। कीमत का सवाल :  कितना दाम...
