Education is a fundamental right for all children, and it plays a crucial role in their overall development and success in life. However, in India, the education system has long been plagued by exploitation, leading to a lower quality of education and limited access to education for disadvantaged students. There are several factors that contribute to the exploitation of the education system in India. One major cause is the lack of government funding for education. The government does not allocate enough funds for the education sector, leading to a lack of resources and infrastructure in schools. This can result in a lower quality of education and limited access to education for disadvantaged students. Private schools also play a role in the exploitation of the education system in India. Private schools often have better resources and infrastructure compared to government schools, leading to a situation where parents are willing to pay high fees to send their children to private schools...

Capitalism, a economic system in which private ownership and production of goods and services is the dominant form, has long been criticized for causing economic inequality in society. In a capitalist system, the means of production, such as factories and land, are owned by private individuals and operated for profit. This often leads to a concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a small group of individuals, while the majority of the population may struggle to access the resources and opportunities necessary to improve their economic situation. One way that capitalism can contribute to economic inequality is through the exploitation of labor. In a capitalist system, workers are often paid wages that are lower than the value of the goods and services they produce, which allows the owners of the means of production to profit at the expense of the workers. This can lead to a situation where a small group of people control the majority of the wealth and resources, while the major...

सध्या जगात कोरोना विषाणू थैमान घालून आहे. गेल्या काही दिवसांपासून मी देखील स्वतःला घरामध्ये बंद करून आहे. अश्या परिस्थितीमध्ये साहजिक आहे मनात नकारात्मक विचार येणे. बहुतांश वेळ माझा पुस्तके वाचण्यात जात आहे. असेच एक पुस्तक (13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do - Amy Morin) मला आवडले त्याबद्दल या ब्लॉग मध्ये लिहीत आहे.  जेव्हा लेखिका एमी मॉरिन २३  वर्षांची होती तेव्हा तिच्या आईचा अचानक brain aneurysm मुळे मृत्यू झाला. तीन वर्षांनंतर तिचा नवरा (वय २६) याचा अचानक हृदयविकाराच्या झटक्याने मृत्यू झाला. एमीला असे वाटले की ती एखाद्या कठीण मानसिक चक्रात अडकलेली आहे. पण एक मनोचिकित्सक म्हणून तिने तिच्या कार्यावर लक्ष दिले आणि मानसिकदृष्ट्या बळकट लोक करीत नसलेल्या १३ गोष्टीं तिने मांडल्या.  मानसिकदृष्ट्या बळकट लोकांना आरोग्यदायी सवयी असतात. ते त्यांच्या भावना, विचार आणि वागणूक अशा प्रकारे व्यवस्थापित करतात ज्याने त्यांना जीवनात यशस्वी होण्यास मदत केली जाईल.  १. ते स्वत: साठी दिलगिरी व्यक्त करताना वेळ वाया घालवत नाहीत.  मान...

'To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one’s mind - this is the teaching of the Buddha.' Meditation has been scientifically proven to have many health benefits, like reduced anxiety and better emotional health. While this is great, many people struggle with incorporating meditation in their daily routines. Even though it takes some effort to adopt new habits, there’s one thing at play that doesn’t like meditation. This is the mind. But why the mind hates meditation? So, I won’t deny that experienced meditators won’t have too much trouble meditating whenever they want, because the wise part of their thinking mind has become dominant. However, the average Joe, myself included often experiences a mind that’s overly active: eager to solve puzzles, analyze past events and calculate future possibilities, no matter if it’s past midnight. A mind is a precious tool. Yet when it’s out of control, it can be a destructive monster as well. The quality of our thoughts ...

Civil Disobedience means an act or process of public defiance of a law or policy, duly formulated and created by a governmental authority, which an individual or a group considers to be unjust or unconstitutional. The defiance of the government law or policies must be a pre-meditated act and the movement has to be announced in advance. The defiance of the law might take either a violent or non-violent form. It may be either active or passive. As the basic spirit of the civil disobedience movement is to arouse the public conscience, the individual or the group must be prepared to accept punishment for the violation of law or policies. The action or non-action of civil disobedience has to be openly insisted on in order to be qualified as civil disobedience. The mere non-compliance of legal provisions does not itself constitute civil disobedience.  Gandhi called his concept of civil disobedience as the doctrine of ‘Satyagraha’ or ‘Truth Force’. According to him, the adjective ‘civil’ ...

India will be witnessing general elections in the coming month, where about 900 million voters including millions of first-time voters will participate in the festival of democracy. The once extraordinarily dominant party that has seen some of its clouds dwindled and of course splintered opposition making this election more interesting. In this article, Let's discuss how things might turn out. In 2014, general elections, the key factor was anti-UPA and anger against Congress. Modi led BJP was able to encash this anger in a very adequate manner into votes and established a government with a majority however current year election issues are different for different political parties. BJP is going into the election with slogans of nationalism, national security, strong leadership. BJP is pitching everything around PM Modi, while on the other hand INC and regional parties would like to focus the attention on the failure of the government by referring to the issues of unemploymen...
