#ThinkBeyondBorders





कुदरत ने तो हमे बक्षी थी एक ही धरती ।
हमने कहीं भारत कहीं ईरान बनाया।
(Nature had given us only one earth.
We made India somewhere and somewhere Iran.)

The world has been broken down into fragments!
Who’s responsible?
We….
The Humankind…..

The world has been divided by the lines of border that do not exist!
We have created those lines for our convenience.
Earth didn’t create any borders for humanity!
In the truest sense they are simply abstractions, imaginary boundaries established by agreements or conflicts.
For some it’s merely a political issue.
An ordinary citizen of any nation never wishes for a war.
Those who assume power to be supreme, through their destructive thoughts impose other people leading to a devastating act such as terrorism which further leads to war.


Increasing greed of few vicious people disturbs the borders and peace of others.
Which may further lead to a war like situation or war itself.
For example, China has made spectacular progress in industrial and technological advances.
But we can’t admire the greedy ambitions of China.
The very first victim of China’s expansionist greed is Tibet and the second is India. China proclaims that Arunachal Pradesh in India is a Chinese territory.
The next victim of China is Japan, where they claim for Senkaku Island.
And yet many more countries are a prey of such vicious nations who have ever increasing greed.


No human/ community of human rules over this land!
This land belongs to everyone!
‘Earth is not our ancestral property, we have got this planet on lease from our future generations'


अयं निजः परो वेति गणना लघु चेतसाम् |
उदारचरितानां तु वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम् |

[Hitopadesha, 1.3.71:
‘ayam nijah paroveti ganana laghuchetasam
udaracharitanam tu vasudhaiva kutumbhakam’ |
’This is my own and that a stranger’ – is the assumption of the narrow-minded
For the magnanimous-hearts however, the entire earth is but a family’]
I believe in the concept “वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम्” which means the whole world is one family!


In words of, Rusty Schweikart, a member of the 1969 Apollo9 space mission, 'You look down there and you can’t imagine how many borders and boundaries you cross, again and again and again, and you don’t even see them.'

Schweikhart’s perspective reminds us that we belong to the Earth rather than to a nation, and to a species rather than a nationality. And although we might feel distinct and different, we all have a common source.


Problems like the COVID-19 pandemic, Water Conservation and climate change are the natural issues which affect us collectively.
Also man made destructions, lack of fundamental rights to all are also collectively a global issue.
They can only be solved collectively.
Such issues can only be properly solved by viewing humans as one species(all are equal), without borders or boundaries.


The map of my Utopian[a place or state that exists only in the imagination, where everything is perfect] world has no borders.
No guards, no barbed wires, no walls/fences/barricades, nothing…..
I believe, the world would be a better place without them!
Let us all be with a heart of a child, where they know no boundaries and reside freely wherever they wish to.

Environment destruction or an ages old tradition ??

Image
A lot such things are done on Dusshera which shouldn’t be done as they are incorrect rather useless too… For example first let us consider distributing Apta leaves  (Bauhinia racemosa) as gold on Dusshera, may it be a long tradition now needs to be corrected. On one hand we give messages to save environment & on the contrary pluck the Apta leaves unnecessarily... But now the number of apta trees has come down drastically and there is a need to save these trees. The apta tree has no fragrance and does not bear fruit. So very few people plant it. As a result, the number of apta trees has decreased. Apta trees are found outside the village. The sellers bring in large quantities of apta leaves to sell on Dussehra in the market. Whereas, on the next day large quantity of dried apta leaves can be found thrown in the garbage. Therefore, offering apta leaves on Dussehra is merely destroying the environment. Apta tree has scientific importance, the ability to absorb carbon dioxide emitt...

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi)

Generations to come will scare believe that such a one as this walked the earth in flesh and blood. -Albert Einstein (to Mahatma Gandhi) Mahatma Gandhi was a visionary leader. He was the pioneer of Satyagraha movements. He inspired people to understand and learn resistance through non-violent civil disobedience. There are a lot of misgivings about Mahatma Gandhi in the mind of our people. Unlike I had already mentioned one in my previous article ‘Independence Day’ released on August 15 2021. (Attaching the link below https://janhavidudhane7.blogspot.com/2021/08/independence-day.html ) Gandhiji initially and from a very long time continued to oppose partition. He said Partition can happen only on his dead body. He even suggested that let Jinnah be the prime minister if that can avoid partition. [Jinnah was a dying man (a well guarded secret). He had less than a year to live. He wanted to ensure partition happens before he is gone.] Britishers wanted to sho...

Why celebrate teacher’s day as 5th of September???

Why celebrate teacher’s day as 5th of September??? Why celebrate teacher’s day as 5th of September as birthday of the plagiarize man In a country where teacher is worshipped, if he steals his students thesis and publishes it by his own name what are we supposed to call him??? Teacher deserves to be a respected person… Not a plagiarize person… In the January 1929 issue of the Modern Review, Jadunath Sinha made a sensational claim regarding Dr. Radhakrishnan Sarvepalli None other than Radhakrishnan Sarvepalli had plagiarized from him his Indian Philosophy Volume II. He had lifted several passages from Sinha’s thesis. The battle spilled over into the February, March and April issues of the magazine too as Sinha cited several more passages to bolster his claim. Radhakrishnan hit back with letters in the February and March issues. In August 1929, Sinha sued Radhakrishnan. Radhakrishnan counter-sued both Sinha and Ramnath Chattopadhyay, the editor of Modern Review...
