Is Tamilnadu the best place for peace and prosperity?


Certainly Yes, but the question which was above raised a two decade ago can said 'YES, Very Good'. What's that truth lying inside of this question is that "Can be Tamilnadu maintain a peace longer?".

Tamilnadu is the place well known famous for temples in India and around the world which means peoples are in Tamilnadu believe that they are ruled by some superior power. Tamilnadu is the homeland of the Tamils and has existed since prehistoric times. The culture and artwork of this region are considered to be some of the oldest in the world. It is home to one of the world's classical languages, Tamil.

Peoples who are speaking Tamil scattering around the worlds, especially in central Srilanka, Malaysia, South Africa, Singapore, Pakistan and Mauritius. There are an estimated 77 million Tamilians around the world. It is top 30 Languages by Number of Native Speakers (17th place that consist of 77 million, first four places occupied by Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, English).

But what happened to unity of those peoples, will they accept Tamil as primary language. Indeed, they are not accept because of their pivotal thing is that money, obviously I too work for money but most of them never care about their language, if the unity of the people is become strength then peace of Tamilnadu will surge hugely.

Compare to other states of India terrorism and criminalize will low and best place for peace but if the unity of people slow down, definitely once Tamilnadu can become like Gujarat and Maharashtra, here we are talking about unity of religion because Tamilnadu is only state in India which maintain secular. Since we called India is a secular country but problem arouse only with religions in Gujarat and Maharashtra.

There are so much of fragmentations in the politics of Tamilnadu but no one come out to help people to maintain unity. Because they don't have a time to scolding each of themselves by their frauds. Please make them to work for people But How?

Unity is the only way to become success.Because you are well knew about the story of 4 bulls and a lion.

With love

Retracing Gandhi's last steps, 60 years later


This is where he walked his last steps before collapsing with a peaceful 'Hey Ram' on his lips, forgiving even in death his assassin. Sixty years after that day 'when the light went out of our lives', Mahatma Gandhi's spirit forces introspection at the sprawling white bungalow in central Delhi now named Gandhi Smriti.
The lane where the house stands is now called Tees January Marg after that Jan 30, 1948 when the world's greatest apostle of peace was felled by a bullet fired by Nathuram Godse. The house is 5, Tees January Marg. A mere address that is so much more for the nation.
And as India observes Wednesday as Martyrdom Day, children at Gandhi Smriti, or Gandhi Memories, look inwards to see what Mahatma Gandhi really meant to them. Even amidst the buzz of getting ready for the function that will be attended by President Pratibha Patil and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
'Do I follow Gandhi's thoughts? Yes and no! I don't use abusive words against anybody,' says Sheetal Panwar, a Class 8 student. 'But, I do lie,' admits her classmate Sajal Jain, shamefacedly, 'and I do fight, but not with punches.'
Hauling their bags, the two students of St Paul's in south Delhi school are looking at the small canopy marking the exact area where Gandhi fell at 5.17 p.m. on Jan 30, 1948.
The two are among the many schoolchildren in the complex, where marigold garlands hang from fences, strings of little bulbs line paths and awnings of white cloth billow in the chilly breeze.
As they walk in the weak sunlight, children in a dozen different school uniforms sit in clusters, sharing their food or talking animatedly. Meanwhile, workers run from one end to another, looking busy, sometimes armed with a can of paint or hauling a cart, laden with wooden boards or potted plants.
About 1,500 school students are rehearsing Gandhi's favourite hymns for the prayer meeting to mark the 60th anniversary of the assassination.
For others, this is where Gandhi moves out of textbooks to become a real figure, who lived - and made a difference.
Inside the two-storey whitewashed building, 54-year-old Hannah Thomsen, a Danish tourist, moves from one wall panel to another, reading quotes from Gandhi.
'I first thought, is this a school?' laughs Thomsen. She and her husband have come to take a look at the place because 'like Hans Christian Andersen is identified with Denmark, for us, India means Gandhi'.
On the covered walkway beside the extensive lawns, Tia Shuyler and her family read the story of the 1942 Quit India movement.
Her father, William Shuyler, points to his daughter as the 'prime motivator' for getting them to Gandhi Smriti on the last day of their India sojourn.
'I had studied about Gandhi in my school, but it was really in context of his spirituality, where he is grouped along with Martin Luther King Junior and Mother Teresa,' says Tia, 23, a student of political science from the US. 'I was more interested in learning about his political views.'
During her first visit to this country, Tia has often been asking herself what the Mahatma would think of modern India. 'In fact, when I saw the traffic here, I asked my mother, what would Gandhi think about it.'
She feels it is time for another Gandhi. 'I am very glad that he was in India, but we need somebody like him right now in America.'
As news came in that terrible day, India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru said over All India Radio: 'Friends and comrades, the light has gone out of our lives and there is darkness everywhere...'
He then went on to say in an unforgettable, moving speech: 'The light has gone out, I said, and yet I was wrong. For the light that shone in this country was no ordinary light. The light that has illumined this country for these many years will illumine this country for many more years later, that light will still be seen in this country and the world will see it and it will give solace to innumerable hearts.'The warmth of that light still shines, as is evident from just a walk through Gandhi Smriti--- Thanks to yahoo!!!!!!!

இந்தியா... மஹாத்மாவை இழந்த 61வது ஆண்டு ஜனவரி 30




தனி மனிதன் முப்பது கோடி மக்களை தன் ஆன்மாவால் வளைத்து கட்டுண்ட காலம், தன் வாழ் நாள் பெரும் பகுதி மக்களுக்காகவே வாழ்ந்த மகா பெரியவர். அவர் தன் மக்களால் செல்லமாக "மகாத்மா" என அழைக்கப்பட்ட மோகன் கரம்சந்த் காந்தி.

தன் வாழ் நாள் முழுவதும் மதம், இனம் கடந்து வாழ்ந்தவர். இன்றோ, காந்திநகரை ஆள்பவர் மதம் எனும் போர்வையில் காலம் தள்ளுபவர். மதம், இனம் கடந்ததாலோ என்னவோ, தன் மத யானையால் சுட்டு கொள்ளபடுகிறார், இந்த அபலம் எங்கேனும் காணோம்.

தண்டியாத்திரை, 1930ம்ஆண்டு, தன் சபர்மதி ஆசரமத்தில் மார்ச் மாதம் 12ம் தேதி தொடங்கி, ஏப்ரல் 5ம் தேதி வரை சுமார் 320 கிலோமீட்டர் கடந்து தண்டி அடைந்தார் அதுவும் தன் 61ம் வயதில். நிஜமான மஹாத்மா தான்.

ஆறு ஆண்டுகால சிறை தண்டனை, 25 வருட போராட்டம், விடுதலை எனும் பரிசு. கடைசியில் 1948, ஜனவரி30,சுட்டுக் கொல்லப்பட்ட போது 'மன்னியுங்கள்' என்று அகிம்சையை போற்றினார்.

பாரத் ரத்னா, பத்ம விபுஷணன், நோபல் போன்ற பரிசுகள் தான் வேண்டாம், அவர் வகுத்த பாதையை யாவது, முட்கள் அண்டாமல், பூக்களை தூவுவோம். வாழ்க மகாத்மா,வளரட்டும் அவர் கொள்கை.

Let's salute India's 58th Republic


The Constitution of India came into force, and India declared itself as a "Republic" on January 26, 1950, a date thereafter celebrated annually as Republic Day in India. The Constitution had been drafted by the Constituent Assembly which was set up when India gained its independence from the British in 1947. This, in fact, was a deliberate act: the 26th of January was initially India's "Independence Day", one of Mahatma Gandhi's many symbolic acts during India's struggle for freedom against British colonial rule, and the adoption of the Constitution on this date was felt able to strengthen its initial meaning, one calling for Indians of all ages to declare their freedom from the British Raj. It is one of three national holidays in India, the other two being the nation's Independence Day on August 15 (since 1947) and the birthday of Mohandas K Gandhi or Mahatma Gandhi on October 2. And so, after the disposal of the Empire of India, King George VI was the last and only "King" of modern India.
To mark this occasion, a grand parade is held in New Delhi, the Capital of India, beginning from Raisina Hill near the Rashtrapati Bhavan (Presidential Palace), along the Rajpath, past India Gate and on to the historic Red Fort in the old quarter of the city. Different infantry, cavalry and mechanized regiments of the Indian Army, the Indian Navy and the Indian Air Force march in formation, decked in all their finery and official decorations. The President of India, who is also the Commander in Chief of the Indian Armed Forces, takes the salute. The Chief Guest of the parade is a Head of State of another nation. The parade also includes many traditional dance troupes, to symbolize the cultural heritage of India. It traditionally ends with a colourful flypast by Air Force jets in a tiranga formation. Similar parades are held in the capitals of all the states of India, where the Governors of the respective states take the salute.
