Why this caste holiday?

The most loved, cherished and awaited day of every person whether in school or in office is undebatedly a 'holiday'.It would be a pleasure for all if one or more holidays were added to the prevailing national and state holidays.Imagine if we were to have one each for every caste? we would then have very few working days and lo! it will give a boost to the day by day increasing casteism and inter-caste egoes and fights.Yes our state kerala,the 100% literate state of which we are and will always be proud of, has set an example by declaring a holiday to the nair sect for the mannam-jayanthi in memory of the great leader mannathu padmanabhan who dedicated his life for the betterment of human and fought for their rights.His cause was not religion-biased but the given holiday is surely one.Which could not be appreciatd or accepted.Why then is sree Narayana guru jayanthi and Ambedkar jayanthi state and national holidays?.Life of people are advancing blindly into an advanced world of technology and social net-working but how much ever we drive ourselves forward,when it comes to religion and caste we all are still backward.Everything in the universe could change except the minds of the people.We remember all those great teachers and preachers only because of the holidays given in their name but we forget their teachings,their hardwork and cause.or else like many diseases like polio,small pox and plague the caste system also would have been iradicated from the heart and mind of indians.The country which claims to have unity in diversity is but untrue to the core.Reservation in the education system which is the present issue for debates needs an alteration and materalistic change which should not be caste-based but should be truly a strong ladder to help every poor student who has high dreams but is helpless to ful-fill them due to lack of finance.

The forbidden veil

It is a shame to talk about love-jihad in a country like kerala which calls itself 100% literate.Hindu and christian girls finding solace under the hijab and burkha are going missing to untraceable regions of either syria or tehraan and recruited to IS. The situation is alarming  and every possible steps need to be taken to warn our children of the danger. Girls are lured with sky high dreams of money, job and other luxaries and a thorough education of the islaam religion is given.When the net's are thoroughly laid the prey is trapped and  she is lost in a world called 'Hell'. Where are we going wrong?  Is our education system lacking something very much or are the family backgrounds too weak and unhealthy that girls do not find anything wrong in detaching themselves from her family and  having no pity for her beloved ones,  just leaves her home with this man or boy whom she met yesterday. Christian girls falls less prey compared to the hindus because the church has a bigg

"what am I"

Every action of a man is an internal orientation. It may be a good one or a bad one. Every action reflects a pesrons character. There is an outer being and an inner-being. Just as we make-over our outer-being in all possible ways to look attractive,the same way our inner being also needs a replenishing, as this is the way to polish your mind and soul, because it is the highest form of consciousness and intelligence which deserves a freedom or detachment from the body. This is the only way one can attain happiness, pleasure and enjoyment of the mind, this in simple words could be told as mental freedom. An imprisoned inner-being only brings pain, sorrow and discomfort as its narrowness to exist only fills in you desires to possess and accumulate. Whats the use of having all the richness and luxuries and no happiness.                             Our physical self or the annamaya kosha is activated only because of the invisible powers of our pranamaya kosha or innerself.
