t is now more than obviousthat over the past a few yearsIndia has taken several longstrides, presumably, under

American pressure, to placatePakistan on all the so-calledcontentious issues, including the'Core Issue' as PresidentMusharraf would like toallude it to. But, Kashmirimbroglio continues tosimmer even after theconcoction of somepolitically delicate andsome other unpalatableCBMs as have been agreedupon by both countries.What is being cooked mayapparently pervade itsaroma not only in the sub-continent, but may alsoplease the olfactory sensesof America, yet, theKashmiri separatists of allhues, privately admit it tobe oasis illusion.

Let us take this starkreality that more than 80thousand Kashmiris,mostly Kashmiri Muslimyoungsters, call themmilitants, or by any other name, haveperished in this conflagration ofinsurgency fuelled by Pakistan. True,those who live by swords, have to dieby swords, but, has government ofIndia ever in these 15 years, tried tolook dispassionately about the rootcause of this enormous human

tregedy? That much forthe majoritycommunity. Thegovernment has evenfailed to takecognizance of the plightof the minority

community(Pandits) of the Valley.

Let us admit, thatthe Govt. of India hasnever sincerely taken thetrouble to feel the pulseof the people even at thevarious opportunitieswhich the turn of politicalevents threw up in theValley, during the past fivedecades, which wouldhave, won the hearts ofthe denizens of the Valleyand not alienated them tothe point of 'no return',where, now it has nearlyto beg for the participationof these groups for the'proposed talks' for findinga solution to Kashmirproblem.

The worstsufferers of this apathy of

the 'Rulers that be' have been, we,Kashmiri Pandits. It is this minisculecommunity which has held afloat the‘TIRANGA’ in Kashmir ‘with conviction’and it is the community’s sacrifice andsufferance which gives much-touted‘SECULARISM’ of our country itssanctity and gives semblance of

The irony is, thatthis community

inviolability to the often-quotedGandhi’s words ‘Roshini ki Kiran’ byour Netas in their speeches. Yet, theirony is, that this community isthought to be of no consequence whencrucial discussions are held onKashmir Issue, because this fringecommunity does not have vote-bankpower, which could affect the politicalbalance.

Yasin Malik, who hounded Panditsto abdicate their homes with hisMaisuma Brigade of a few loyalists,or Shabir Shah with near-no-following,or Lone with a faction of his father'sloyalist, or Hashim Qurreshi (hijacker)with his one-man party, even aftertheir clubbing together would,numerically speaking, constitute forceless than Kashmiri Pandits, yet theyconsider themselves ‘relevantresistant force’, which makes Delhito entreat upon them to come forwardfor ‘talks’.

It is perhaps time that Panditsshed their Brahminical attitude andforce the authorities to listen to the‘cry of pain’ of the community whichhas been show-case of the Nation’sSecularism. But, for that we need tointrospect, sink our attitudinaldifferences and face the situationunitedly. If we cannot rise now againstthis injustice, the government shall,for its ulterior interests, take us forgranted and we shall have then to sighwith Iqbal:

Kuch aisa be dekha haiTareekh ke gahrayoon mein

Lamhoon ne khata kiSadiyon ne saza pai

P.S:While writing this piece, news hascome in that in its bid to show

'Hurriyat' its place, the 'Round-tableConference' of the PM, was beingenlarged to include therepresentatives of all the parties,whatever their political weightage, forthe talks, when, the fact is that thegovernment, normally, does not thinkthese parties even politically relevant.In the scheme of things, variousrepresentatives of the fragmentedPanun Kashmir have also got theinvite. Let us not gloat over this andfeel that the government hasrecognised Kashmiri Pandits as partyto Kashmir dispute.

This is mere political expediency?

nce upon a time I asked God,"Dear God, if anyone troublesme, takes advantage of me orinflicts pain on me, what

should I do?" God replied, "Dear child,there are three alternativesas answer to your question".

Option 1: "As you are ahuman being, you will reactin the same measure, strikeback and trouble the culpritin the same manner in whichyou have been wronged by theother person. Then, both ofyou wil l deserve thepunishment of the samedegree. You will get equalretribution, as you two will bethe sinners of the same level."

Option 2: "You will bephilosophical and will thinkthat it was your own destinyto suffer such an agony or painand it was not the fault of theother person. It was your own'Karma' that made the culpritbehave thus. Then you will notbe a sinner but the sin of theother person will be enhancedin degree. Thereby he will geta greater punishment on theday of the judgment than hedeserved. You will berewarded in some form or theother by being so forgiving."

Option 3: "You will try toreform the culprit and the sinner notby precept but by practice. Be good tohim, shower love and affection on him.

Why Govt. of

"There is nosubstance in the world that has nomedicinal value, provided you knowhow to use it", says Acharya Charakin classical authoritative Ayurvedictext Charak Samhita. AccordinglyHerbal mineral and animal substanceconstitute Ayurvedic Pharmacology. Atthe same time it will be pertinent tonote here that use of human boneshas beed nowhere advocated in anyAyurvedic texts. The allegation issimply deliberate imagination fantasyfor ulterior motives and nefariousdesigns.

About six hundreddifferent medicinal plantsare mentioned in principalAyurvedic texts, selected forinclusion from thousands ofspecies of plants. Ayurvedaelaborates many differentmethods and forms of herbalpreparation. All aredesigned for differenttherapeutic effects or tomaintain potencies of herbsin different monoers.

Ayurveda has alsoincorporated substances ofanimal origin for medicinalpurpose. they are Kasturi(Musk), Praval (Coral), Madhu (Honey),Mukta (Pearl), Mrigashringa (Staghorn), Mayur Piccha (Peacock’sfeather), Shankha (Conch shell), HastiDant (elephant’s husk) etc.

The meinerals l ike Parada(Mercury), Gandha Pashna (Sulpher),Hartala (Orpiment), Hingula(Cinnabar), Manashilla (Realgar),Abhrak (Mica) etc. have also been

included for their therapeutic usessince ages. Also metals like Savarna(Gold), Roupa (Silver), Tamar (Copper),Lauha (Iron) etc. are also incorporatedin various formulations sincethousands of years. Ayurveda has alsoexploited gems for medicinal purpose.

Ayurvedic materia medica is a vasttreasure. Elaborate fool proofpurification process (Shodan Sanskar)of heavy metals and toxic substanceshave been explained in detail.Presence of purified heavy metal isthere on permitted level and there arehardly any reported cases of toxicity.Ayurveda as ancient healing wisdom

has survived despite variousonslaughts from time totime due to its solid rationalfoundation.

These are only some examples butthere is nothing unethical about suchdrugs till these drugs are beneficialfor ailing masses. Let there be nosociopolitical hypocrisy. Religion andrationality are having inherentcontradictions with each other.Let us not co-relate any type ofmedical practices withreligious ethics and dogmas.

One fails to understandwhy opinion leaders includingBrinda Karat have failed toraise genuine issuesconcerning public health? Whymembers of both Rajya Sabhaand Lok Sabha have adoptedcriminal silence about JointParl iamentary Committeereport on soft drinks? Whatabout Tobacco related productsand their adverse side effects?

Eleven drugs (Analgin,Cerivastatin, Droperdol,Furazolidine, Lynestrenol,Nitrafurazone, Phenformin,P h e n o l p h t h a l e i n ,Phnylbutazone, Piperazine,Quinidchlor) were banned by Govt. ofIndia vide notification No. G.S.R 732(E) Dated 29th Oct. 2002, due toserious side effects as per WorldHealth Organization. In fact Analgin,Furazolidine and Nitrofurazone arebanned for use even on Animals in theUnited States.

And then there is another list of76 dubious fixed dose combinations(F.D.C’s) being marketted in India, butnot approved in any developed country.These drugs stand withdrawn(banned?), yet are freely available fromchemists through out country despiteassurance by Union Health MinisterAmbumoni Ramadoss in Lok Sabha onJuly 27, 2005 that said 76 drugs forwhich harmfull effects were reported,had been banned for marketing inIndia (PTI report July 27, 2005). As amatter of fact these 87 drugs

constitute major share ofAllopathic PharmaceuticalMarket even today. Accordingto WHO, 35 percent of fakedrugs produced in the worldcome from India, which has a4000 crore spurious drugmarket. About 20 percent ofMedicines in the country arefake. Many common drugsincluding those used forheadache and common coldare fake or substandard. Ofthese, 60 percent have noactive ingredient and 16percent have harmfulingredients, which includeChalk Powder, wheat flour,Rice flour, Soda Bicarb,Turmeric powder andIndustrial Solvent. Recently

Govt. of Gujrat and Maharashtra havebanned popular brand "Quick relief"Crocin due to its adverse side effects.

ancient healing wisdom, Swami hasbeen rightly defined by Sunday Timesas "a friendly dispenser of waysidewisdom rather than a Pulpit preachingsaint, who enjoys the secular exerciseof making people healthy." He is vocal,aggressive and regularly educatespeople about fast foods, cold drinksand economic exploitation ofmultinationals. His popular andfavourite lines "Burger means BimariKa Ghar" and "Cola Matlab ToiletCleaner" has caught imagination ofcommon people. His interaction withpeople is simple, based on Hindi,English, Biology and native commonsense. By any classification he is nota typical Swami. As symbol of Hindurationalism, he speaks againstsuperstitions, religious dogmas andpseudo-spiritualism. Instead of typicalrel igious sermons. He glori f iesBhaghat Singh, Raj Guru, Sukhdev,Chander Shekhar Azad and RamPrasad Bismal. All that explains whyhe has become eyesore not only formultinational lobby but also for fellowSwamis like Pilot Baba who are deadlyagainst his way of educating people.

It is inexplicable why comradeBrinda Karat has chosen to attackSwami Ram Dev and Ayurveda, bothsymbolizing common masses. Swamiis neither petty-bourgeoisie norbourgeosie.(Author in former Deputy Director ISM andSenior Ayurvedic consultant.) ☯☯

be inadequate or even intolerable.That is why religions place so muchemphasis on pointing believers toanother reality that fundamentallydiffers from the uncomfortable realityof this world. In this other reality,phenomena which flatly contradictearthly reality such as miracles mayoccur & believers can hope for thingswhich are actually impossible.

These 'alternative' realities areoften more important to us than thefactual, which can for example leadto the contradiction that minors canbe sentenced as adults if this seemsappropriate to the court. In order tounderstand the paradox of parallelrealities, which are hierarchicallyarranged, a backward glance to Adam& Eve can be sampled to a good effect.Even though the first man & womanwere expelled from paradise, we havea residual collective memory of thesame, so that it continues to exist asan unearthly reality. It is before us &behind us, it is also present andinspires our earthly acts, as though itwere never entirely lost, as though itwere not entirely of the future.

All that Ineed are necessary inputs inKashmiri language about men andmatters since the commencement ofinsurgency and militancy in myhomeland”.

od is a reality; there is nodoubt about it for had it notbeen so, we would not betalking about God and

arguing about Him existing or notexisting. It is an accepted fact thatwe cannot think of a thing, which doesnot exist.

In our Puranic literature there wasmention of people travelling throughair and of umpteen differentdestructive weapons. All that seemed

to be a myth not very long ago, buttoday all that is a fact. We see dreamswherein things and events getjuxtaposed losing all the barriers oftime and space, yet all that does existin one form or the other. We may seea winged cow that seems to beimpossibility, yet both the cow and thewings do exist, which proves thesupposition that we cannot talk anddiscuss a thing that does not exist.So there is no question of going into adiscussion about the existence of God.Even Buddha preferred to remainsilent about this matter because hewas not sure about God not existing.Mahavir did deny His existence but hecould not put forward any concreteproof in support of his belief. Atheistsdeny His existence only because God

is not visible to thenaked eye, which ishardly acceptable.There are hundreds ofthings that are notvisible and yet we feelthem or perceive them.Be that as it may andlet us proceed on the firm premise thatHe does exist.

Now let us consider the reality ofGod. God is not a reality in physical

terms because He does not have aform although many devotees worshiphim in one form or the other. Theseforms they give to Him out of theirunflinching love for Him and on thebasis of how they would like to seeHim. This situation and this state ofmind are difficult for people of otherreligions and faiths to fathom orappreciate. They denounce thispractice of worshipping God with formby terming it as idol worship.

The devotees have different tastesand varied likings because of whichGod is perceived in different forms anddifferent shapes. This also cannot beappreciated and understood in rightperspective by the believers of otherfaiths and is often branded aspolytheism. Coming to think of it, there

is no polytheistic religion in the world.In fact people of faith worship variousvisible powers of the Supreme, givethem form and shape of their likingand choosing and thereby attempt topropitiate the one Supreme called byvarious names.

Recently I heard a Muslim clericlecturing a gathering of Muslims on aPakistani T.V. Channel. He wasridiculing those whoconsidered AcharyaRajneesh as god. Thespeaker propounded fourdifferent tests for someoneto be considered a god andcited Arabic quotations insupport of his statements.Among other things he saidthat God is neither born norbears anyone, He does notsuffer any troubles and Hecan go anywhere freely. Hefurther added that sinceRajneesh was born tohuman parents, sufferedsome ailments and wasdenied American visa, hecannot be taken to be god. Ido not want to say anythingeither for or againstRajneesh being held as agod because that is not the subjectunder discussion. Yet I would like tomake it clear that the cleric inquestion had no idea of what thesefollowers of Acharya meant when theysaid that he was a god. He being aperson of a faith quite different fromthe Sanatana Dharma, it was notexpected of him to understand thesubtlety of this belief.

Let us be candid and make it clearunhesitatingly that all religions and

all beliefs are not the same. Theydiffer not only in form but also insubstance, not only in rituals but alsoin basic philosophies. The followers ofRajneesh, a set of well-meaningpersons, did not mean to place himparallel to Almighty God butunderscored his divinity. Moreover, isit not a fact that God permeates everysoul and the entire creation is His

manifestation? At least thatis what we believe andsubscribe to.

God can be a realityin real sense or animaginary reality. If He is areality in real sense a goodmany questions arise in ourmind. He is one and only, abeginning-less and withoutan ending entity. Obviouslyhe was not born in the sensein which we see animatebeings taking birth. But thatthere is an entity calledGod is a conception as oldas the man itself. Man hasbeen confronted withmysteries of sorts. His ownbeing is a mystery to him.The universe around him isa greater mystery. The

functioning and the order in everyactivity of nature are simply bafflingto him. Naturally, therefore, he isjustified in presuming that there is asupreme power behind all this. He isjustified in conceiving an entity thatcontrols all this, manages it andensures that everything works in anorderly manner. Consequently thisentity has been held to beomnipresent, omnipotent andomniscient.

Man,world and Godare not only co-existent from

the verybeginning but

areinterdependenttoo. After all

there could beneither a mannor the world,had there been

no God.



The theists present differentproofs to establish His existence. Thequestion that arises is as to why didGod think of creating the universe?Was it to establish His supremacy? Butthen if none except Him existed, forwhom was His supremacy to beestablished? Millions and billions ofyears back a time must have beensuch that there was neither existencenor non-existence. How did thecreation take place; canthere be existence out ofnon-existence? All thesequestion by their naturemust remain unanswered.Any plausible explanationhas to be a mereconjecture, howeverconvincing it might soundand appear. God can be areality in imagination aswell. Man, world and Godare not only co-existentfrom the very beginning butare interdependent too.After all there could beneither a man nor theworld, had there been noGod. Similarly there wouldhave been no God, hadthere been no man or theworld. In this sense God exists as areality in Man’s imagination. Thisaccounts for the fact that there aredifferent ways in which God has beenconceived. Some have conceived Himwith form and some without form.Some have conceived Him withattributes and some withoutattributes. Some see Him as anintegral force behind the variouselements that constitute thisuniverse. Some perceive Him as the

creator, sustainer and the destroyer.Some see Him in the wonders ofnature. It is not surprising, therefore,that Man has worshipped the Sun, thetrees, the snakes, the rivers and otherfacets of nature at different times. Ifwe examine this phenomenon moreclosely and in depth, we will observethat there is no conflict in thesepractices.

As and when the secrets of naturegot unraveled, as the mysteries

became clearer, the mancame closer to the realityof God. Mankind as a wholepassed through variousstages of intel lectualcompetence. Individuallyalso men differ from eachother intellectually. Eventhe same man has differentdegrees of intel lectualperception at dif ferenttimes depending upon hisspiritual acumen at thesetimes. This accounts for thevaried ways in which thetruth about the reality ofGod is perceived andpresented. This alsoaccounts for the existenceof dif ferent faiths and

religions. Some religions propoundthat the initiative comes from God forthe uplift of man and man has only torespond, while others place theresponsibility on man to take initiativeto seek the Truth.

Let us consider this geographicalfact. We say that there is an Equator,which divides the earth into twohemispheres, Northern and Southern.We say that there is the Tropic ofCapricorn at about 23 degrees north

Millions andbillions of yearsback a time musthave been suchthat there was

latitude. Similarly we say that thereis the Tropic of Cancer at about 23degrees south latitude. Yet again wesay that there is 0 degree longitudepassing through Greenwich inEngland. Now if someone were to askus to show these geographicallyrelevant landmarks physically, itwould simply be impossible toshow these. Yet all theseitems are a reality and theirexistence cannot be deniednor can their relevance bedoubted. The same is thecase with God. We may notbe able to show Godphysically. We may not beable to see Him with ournaked eye. His existence,His relevance and Hisomnipotence, omniscienceand omnipresence cannot bedoubted. He is a reality inimagined sense no doubt.

What do we do withgeographical presumptionslike longitudes, latitudes andother landmarks? We draw amap of the world on a globeor on a flat canvas and thendraw these lines verticallyand horizontally to bringhome their existence andsignificance to the studentsof World Geography. Almostexactly we deal with theconcept of God. We draw a pictureshowing God in various conceivedforms. Sometimes we show Him in Hisbenign form with a lotus and one handbestowing grace. Sometimes we showHim in a ferocious form holdingdifferent destructive weapons indifferent hands. His supremacy,

grandeur and greatness are shown bydepicting Him having multiple heads,hands and faces. His omnipresenceand omnipotence are conveyed byperceiving Him in nature's differentfacets and sometimes by worshippingthe rising Sun, the trees, themountains, running rivers and so on

and so forth. This is therationale behind idol worshipand this is the significanceand the justification fornature worship, which isoften construed, wronglythough, as polytheism.

The reality of God isin fact indescribable. Thosesages, prophets and noblemen, who have known God,perceived Him and attainedTruth are unable to describeHim in any way that wouldappeal to us. Perception ofGod is at spiritual level andwe cannot apply mundaneyardsticks or empiricalexplanations to thisperception. The fact of thematter is that God as Creatoris a mystery as the creationis and mystery defies anyelucidation and ceases to bea mystery once it is explored,expounded and explained. Itis better, therefore, for us totake pleasure and obtain

bliss from this mysteriousphenomenon all around us. All thesame we should not stop exploring themysteries on the top of which is themysterious God, for the act of exploringis so fascinating, so absorbing and sosatisfying in itself.

JKVM hasmade i t c lear that there is norelevance or scope for talking to theHurriyat or any of its cohorts aboutthe resolution of the Kashmir tangle,unless they clarify their stand on thepersecution of the minority Hindus ofKashmir and the return and retentionof the aboriginal people of Kashmir.

It is well known that the leaderswho are today masquerading as the‘true representatives’ are the ones whowere active and instrumental inturning the Kashmiri Pandits out ofthe valley. In fact, their ‘representativecharacter’ of whatever worth it be, hasbeen begotten by the verydepredations which ultimately forcedthe minority Pandits out. When theycome to talk to Pandits they at leasthave to wash their mouths of the bloodof the hundreds of Pandits who werekilled at their hands or at theirbehest. They are yet to show remorseover their acts, yet to repent thosekillings. What is worse, they have notgiven even a reliable assurance thatthey would not eject the Pandits againshould their friends in the jehadi ranksget an upper hand in the valley.

Jammu Kashmir Vichar Manchregards talks as the ultimate solutionfor all issues including the return ofPandits to the valley and theirretention there and welcomes movesin the direction, but it holds that therecan be no fruitful parley or interactionunless the pain and persecution areseen, unless the right of Pandits to



the valley is acknowledged, unlessthere is a wish and will on the part ofthe persecutors of Kashmiri Panditsto accommodate the Pandits. Failingthat there is no scope for talks.

Pandits are in a struggle forattainting their right to l ive inKashmir. They are in the process oftalking to the government of India.Even if they weren’t they would notneed Hurriyat to mediate for them.Talks are necessary for Hurriyat towash its communal and sectarianimage. But it would not be done byplaying with the people who they havepersecuted. It would not be done byplaying the willing agents here orelsewhere. If Hurriyat be sincere, itmust try to address the concerns ofthe displaced Pandits; it ought to talknot the irrelevant factotums in thedisplaced community but its legitimateleaders and it must practically showthat it has really changed its colors.
