CLEANLINESS DRIVE- SWACHH ABHIYAN IN INDIA

Dear Countrymen
Namashkar
Vande Mataram


CONGRESS SHUD READ ARTICLE 51A OF THE CONSTITUTION AND SHOULD HAVE PRACTICED- WHICH DEALS WITH FUNDAMENTAL DUTIES OF CITIZEN OF INDIA and Review its mess in last 60 years of Rule.

DEMOCRACY IS A PHILOSOPHY AND MORE DANGEROUS THAN DICTATORSHIP,COMMUNISM,Dynasty- Because it can be practised by Honest and Disciplined People- It is Not Meant for Corrupt and scumbags.

Applying lateral Thinking Concept- Daily morning brooming of Roads will reduce the Tummy or ponches and for 100 meters- it burns 5500 calories
-Shukla should start and Institute with Kejrivwal as THE VICED CHANCELOR.

IN CHENNAI ONLY PRIVILEGED CLASS WHICH IS NOT TOWED BY TRAFFIC POLICE- OCCUPYING 30 % OF THE ROAD ARE THE GARBAGE BINS- IN FACT THEY ARE THE FIRST CLASS CITIZEN- One Person in our neighborhood is pulling all nerves and muscles to clean up his RA PURAM-CHENNA-28. How many are  joining them?????

It is the Job of every Indian to Keep the Nation clean and Media is no exception-see Rajdeep Sardesai's behaviour in USA. He is no exception.

If the NATIONAL INDESCIPLINE INDEX COMES DOWN BY SAY 0.05% THE GDP GOES UP BY RS 2,50,000 CRORES- I CAN CHALLENGE ANY OR ALL THE CHARTERED ACCOUNTS IN INDIA.

PEOPLE MAY ASK - WHO IS THIS GUY GIVING LECTURE-  THE FACT IS NO STATEMENT IS MADE WITHOUT ACTION PRECEDING IT- One Can and see what all we have done  and every day we have argument not with illeterate People- Mind you Educated people- IIMS- CA's IIT's TOP Honchos travelling in Jaguar- BMW- Mercedes- DUGAR MANSIONS- CEEBROS = MANY OF THEM EARNING 10 LACS 20 LACS SALARY PER MONTH AND TRAVEL BY EXECUTIVE CLASS.

IS IT TAMIL KALACHARAM
TO PASS URINE IN PUBLIC- LITTER AROUND- TAKE BRIBE-VOILATE TRAFFIC LAWS, INDULGE IN CORRUPTION-LOOT THE TREASURY ETC. ONCE UPON A TIME I USE TO GO BY BOAT ON THIS VERY BUCKINGHAM 
CANAL- TODAY WAT A MESS- IS THIS TAMIL KALACHARAM?

THERE IS A SAYING  EVEN A DOG  ( KUTTA) keeps its place clean.

Read Interesting article appended Below: 

WHETHER IT IS REAL OR TOKENISM WHAT WERE PEOPLE DOING SINCE AUGUST 15TH 1947>  

MAHATMA GANDHI GOT INDEPENDENCE TO INDIA WITH ONE AND HALF METERS OF CLOTHE AND LANGOTI- TODAY WE ARE ALL STANDING WITH HIS DRESS- BUT THE LOOTERS- SCAMSTERS ETC WEARING COSTLY DRESS DIRTYING THE NATION IN ALL SPHERES.

Why Tharoor was Invited asked the Congress- Instead of criticizing- they should have come in large Numbers and Joined the Movement- It seems IT IS A SILENT DHARNA AND PROTEST BY CONGRESS AGAINST THE MOVEMENT.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD EXERCISE FOR THE SPOKES PERSON WHO MADE A RASH STATEMENT= PHOTO OPERATION TOKENISM blah blah.

Dispelling the haze of 'modernisation'.

[The present initiative to bring about a larger awareness and determination to achieve national cleanliness is a welcome return to our values and traditions]

A high state of order, sublimity and well-functioning local institution has usually been expressive of an advance civilisational stage. 

To a number of observers, India appeared as such throughout the ages. 

It may be periodically useful to recollect these past perceptions, were gradually lost to us. 

It is said that the "conquest and defeat of a civilisation generally leads not only to its disintegration" but also to the "disappearance of precious knowledge associated with it." 

The disappearance of that precious knowledge remains a crucial and formidable road-block in any nation's quest for recovering a deeper and a larger sense of self-hood.

An Englishman's description of "Hindoo" society, as he saw it in the early 1790s, when colonial system had not begun to extract and ravish the land and its indigenous frameworks, makes a fascinating reading of our collective self and capacities. 

In his "Sketches of the Hindoos" (1790, 1792), Q Craufurd, for example, noted that where the"destructive hand of the conqueror" had not fallen, the Hindoos, under their "native sovereigns" were "governed on principles of the most just and benevolent policy. In those countries (local principalities) the lands were highly cultivated; the towns and their manufacture flourish; the villages were composed of neat and commodious habitations, and filled with cheerful inhabitants; and wherever the eye turned, it beheld marks of the mild protection of the Government, and of ease and industry of the people." 

Craufurd saw this especially in the southern parts, a region which had remained relatively insulated from invading hordes.

Systems in place ensured that even some of the basic requirements were catered to by a well-laid out system of public conveniences, as Craufurd recorded, "the traveller was enabled to journey through this immense country with ease and safety; the public roads were shaded with trees to protect him from the scorching sun; at convenient distances buildings were erected for him to repose in…hospitality and laws held out assistance, protection to all alike, without prejudice or partiality."

The memory of these past entrenched positive characteristic at times aid in present initiatives and aspirations at self-excelling, not compulsorily, but usually if one is determined to derive a rational dynamism from the past achievements, the descriptions of which, over the centuries, have been gradually hidden from us. 

These descriptions and perceptions of India were deliberately omitted so that generations grew up reading a history which Rabindranath Tagoredescribed as a "dismal chronicle of India's repeated defeats and humiliations in her political competition with foreigners from Alexander to Clive." 

The "grandeur of the physical beauty of India" and of her moral greatness were lost to young India which was compelled to spend days, as the poet observed, "in the dark corners of the history our national humiliation which was the then text-book of Indian history…" 

Such history was meant to fade away the memory and even practices of a vibrant civilisational past and to replace it with a faltering and uncertain sense of national capacities and abilities.

Empirical evidences abound of the highly refined achievements and characteristics of Hindu society of the past. 

History records, since time immemorial, how well-laid our cities were, standing not in defiance of but in deference to nature.

Cleanliness, orderliness and sensitivity have always been some of its dominant traits and manifestations, whatever may be its present challenges. 

A British painter William Hodges, for example, who travelled across India between 1780-83, was struck by a"surprising spirit of cleanliness" among Indians, "the streets of their villages are commonly swept and watered, and sand is frequently strewed before the doors of the houses."

The present initiative to bring about a larger awareness and determination to achieve national cleanliness is thus an effort to bring to efflorescence a deeply intrinsic Indian habit, the memory of which we have lost in a debilitating haze generated from an ill-regulated and eventually all-consuming fire called modernisation.

From, Arun Shourie's "MISSIONARIES IN INDIA-CONTINUITIES, CHANGES, DIELEMMAS". 

This pertains to the evidence presented by a British lawyer to the "Select Committee on Indian Territories"in 1853. 

Excerpts. 

" Indeed,when I turn my eyes either to the present condition or ancient grandeur of that country; when I contemplate the magnificience of her structures---- when I survey the solid and embellished architecture of her temples and exquisite skill of her manufacturers and fabrics-when I turn to the philosophers, lawyers and moralists who have left the oracles of of political and ethical wisdom to restrain the passions and to awe the vices which disturb the commonwealth;--- when I see amongst a cheerful and well ordered society,the benignant and softening influence of religion and morality,a system of manners founded on a mild and polished obeisance,--- , I cannot hear without surprise, mingled with horror, of sending out Baptists and Anabaptists to civilise or convert such a people at the hazard of disturbing or deforming institutions which appear to have hitherto been the means ordained by Providence of making them virtuous and happy".
