Thanks for sharing the colorful “gems”of Hinduism. I am naive on this religion; just a little knowledge about it from our lessons in Asian civilization. I admire the way people in your country or those in other countries in observing Hinduism. It looks like they have a deep sense of religiosity when you see them praying in temples, or in their places of worship.

Appreciate you liking the article and the information it tried to convey. To be fair even I am as naive as you. This rush for getting a job, earning a livelihood coupled with other issues have not allowed me to express myself on this religious aspect of Hinduism. Now as I am writing articles I am also trying to dig in the details which even I would like to know and share with readers who are interested in knowing more about this religion and the society and how things are as of date.
Just to share a information with you. If one has to learn Vedas in a Vedic school which will be in sanskrit language it will take around eight to 12 years approximately depending on the individuals IQ for each Veda to be studied. So multiply it by four it takes one life time to learn and imbibe what is learnt. What I know is not even a small drop of water in the ocean. People here in our country and even in other countries where they are settled and working are very religious minded. Thanks for the feedback.

Children should be taught not to lie. It is the parent’s role to be good models; show them that it is always good to be honest. White lies are sometimes acceptable and it is good to protect the child or the family; but there are lies which should really be stopped. As they say, a liar is comparable to a thief!

Agree with you as a thumb rule children in the first place should not be taught to lie and they should be told to be honest. I have seen many children tell white lies which I accept as they are being done in a mature way not to cause trouble to someone they like or respect and as it does not do any damage. Children start lying as they are in the age group of three to five once they start meeting and mingling with other children who are their peers.
Lying is not a good thing as it build up negative emotions in the person who is indulging in it. One more thing is one lie leads to another and the list goes on and one until the day the bitter truth is out the the individual or the child has been lying all the time. In the case of adults they lose confidence of the society and in the workplace. In the case of children it becomes to give trust him after the dose he has given the parents once. In both the cases they are not trustworthy after the event. Even if we would want to give one more chance we will always have a nagging doubt. Thanks for the input.

Road rage happens anywhere, with the busy, congested roads where motorists all wanted to reach their destinations in an instant. What you mentioned embodied all the things that a driver needs to keep in mind while he is on the road; for his safety, for other’s safety, and for his family.

Of late this problem has increased manifold in India. Some of the problems which were not there but have now started to happen more in India are parents giving keys of vehicles in the hands of children who are less than sixteen years old. Many people purchasing motorcycles which run very fast especially youngsters. People buying cars and vehicles more as they do not have a proper public transport system as the systems are not able to catch up with the increase in the population on time.
One family buying too many two and four wheeler’s as loans are easily available compared to what they where earlier. People not having the patience to wait and drive slow and follow rules even though the pace of traffic speed permitted is only 40 kilometers in the cities. Many accidents taking place on the highways. On a trip when I traveled around more than 500 kilometers I saw six to seven serious accidents where majority of the people have passed away. These people do not realize that driving on city roads and driving on a highway are completely different. Thanks for the feedback.

Actually the problems you describe are not so unique. They are common to law enforcement personnel all around the world. What our law enforcement agencies NEED … no matter what country they are … is a supportive community. People who respect them and will turn to them if they have to face off with a criminal element in the community. Of course, if they don’t build that trust relationship and truly serve and protect the people, then their job is REALLY HARD!! I mean … it’s one thing when people have to defend themselves against criminals. But when they have to defend themselves against criminals and corrupt police … you leave them no choice but to do what they have to do just to survive!
Appreciate your point of view. As I too mentioned in the article these problems are faced by law enforcement agencies in different parts of the world. But here in India the density of population is very high and the number of police there to take care at a normal time is generally less. It is a thankless job that they perform and the sad part is that for a few rotten apples which are their in the system the whole police force gets a bad name. I find this unfortunate. Their work timings, the hours they have to spend standing in the hot sun, having a tight schedule with not time for personal work like lunch and such things take a toll on their health. They are also having community trust building relationships and sensitization programs on various issues. The government is extending reforms which work in the benefit of this force. This process needs to be made more faster.
Obviously no one is hundred percent perfect but I appreciate the good people in the force who are the ones who keep up the image and make ordinary folk approach them in case of problems of any kind. In many cases they have even conducted the marriages of children who are elders and wanted to marry against their parents wishes and counselled all the members of the family to accept the marriage. The play role a good role of settling problems through dialogue too. Thanks for the input.
I totally respect law enforcement people as I also respect those who serve in our military. Don’t know about the news reports in India, but in the United States, the relationship between the police and the citizens in the African-American community has spawned a “Black Lives Matter” movement. It’s a shame really. Because you know that if need be, you will call the police before you call your neighbor if you sense danger. Yet one bad cop or one inexperienced cop who makes a mistake and everybody is in an uproar. I say: “There are way more good police than there are bad police and they have a hard job. Support them!!” That’s what I say!
