I understand your frustration and you have my sympathies as well. In terms of global GDP, measured in purchasing power parity (PPP), the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) surpassed the G7 (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States) in 2020. By 2024, the BRICS' share of global GDP had increased to 35%, while the G7's share was at 30%. Projections for 2029 show the BRICS share increasing to 38.3% and the G7's share decreasing to 27.5%. Your country is free to join BRICS anytime it wants.

Ten BRICS countries accounted for more than half (51%) of global solar electricity generation in 2024, up from just 15% a decade ago. https://financialpost.com/pmn/business-pmn/china-leads-a-brics-nations-shift-into-solar-power-report-shows https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chandigarh/brics-countries-now-generate-more-than-half-of-the-worlds-solar-power/articleshow/122219650.cms

Peaceful and non-violent movements are not just mere political tools for arousing national consciousness and bringing change and reforms. Non-violence and peace are necessary conditions to cultivate civilian qualities like love, compassion, morality and humanity. Former American president Jimmy Carter and Nobel prize winner for peace had stated thus, "The U.S., he noted, has only enjoyed 16 years of peace in its 242-year history, making the country "the most warlike nation in the history of the world." He lamented the US's lack of prioritization of education, healthcare , housing , infrastructure at the expense of military funding which was prioritized. And as Martin Luther King Jr. famously stated, "A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death". Yesterday I came upon an article of two firefighters trying to put down a bush fire shot dead by a gunman for no apparent reason, and this seems to be the latest senseless mass shooting in the US after a record breaking year in 2023 in terms of mass shootings. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/dec/05/mass-shootings-record-year https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/2-dead-in-idaho-after-firefighters-ambushed-by-gunfire-while-responding-to-blaze/ar-AA1HEtXs?ocid=BingNewsSerp Firefighters risk their lives to save the lives of other people, mainly strangers, and it is unfortunate to read that some mentally ill person or sadist have shot them. This is obviously an another reason and case study more for US to regulate its weapons accessibility for its citizens, and invest heavily in a good mental healthcare ecosystem that is unfortunately lacking at the moment. And of course it goes without saying that it is important as well to create a culture of non-violence and peace, which are necessary conditions for love, harmony, mental health and personal well-being to flourish.

UNIFIL had used veterinary services as one of many means and tools to boost governance, connect with the local population, and gain trust and support. https://peacekeeping.un.org/en/indian-peacekeepers-offer-veterinary-support-to-host-communities

Around 821 Indian peacekeepers in UNIFIL were awarded the UN medal recently for their contributions to international peace and regional stability. https://www.aninews.in/news/world/asia/indian-battalion-celebrates-medal-day-parade-in-unifil-with-grandeur-and-dignity20250414230024

Both the two world wars originated in europe in the west which killed over a hundred million people. The psychological and sociological deficiencies in the western psyche is its own worst enemy. As long as this is not identified and addressed properly, there is bound to be constant conflicts and bloodshed and eventual disaster of a catastrophic nature.

India has friendly relations with both Israel and Iran, so obviously the best case scenario we seek is a friendly relationship between them as well, with issues sorted out by diplomacy and negotations. But for that to happen, the conflict must first stop before it creates larger fissures and mistrust between them. Interestingly , India gave refuge to the Iranian Zoroastrians centuries back during the arab invasions and this has helped create a good relationship between India and Iran in modern times. India is also considered the only country on earth which has never persecuted its jewish population, and this has also helped create the basis for a good relationship between Israel and India. I am hoping that India can use its diplomatic resources to somehow end the conflict and patch up ties between them in the future.

Not at all. Meditation and devotion develops the intuitive abilities which can enable one to avoid danger and choose best case scenarios. I have personally witnessed people acting under the guidance of intuition and saving themselves from unapparent danger later on. It showed me then the limitations of logic and reasoning.

Sadhguru is just an enlightened sage, and so is Christ as well. Buddha's point the way, but we ourselves should make the effort and right choices. Then we will be messiahs of our own destiny.

Australian political writer, commentator and policy analyst Tom Switzer on why NATO expansion explains Russia's actions .. https://www.internationalaffairs.org.au/australianoutlook/why-nato-expansion-explains-russias-actions-in-ukraine/

The Nazis and european allies, while moving on to Russia, was in a kiling spree wiping out millions of Ukrainians and Slavs so as to create living space (lebensraum) for future european communities in the fertile region. They also wiped out the Jews over there as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalplan_Ost The stunning Russian counter-attack starting from Stanlingrad and ending in Berlin however put an end to the nazi plans of eliminating the Slavs and Jews. The Ukrainians and Jews thus survived and lived to see an another day, jeering at the Nazis.

To a large extent it has to do with the culture that emphasizes chastity or brahmacharya. Indian martial arts, yoga and spiritual practices , eastern medical systems, put a lot of emphasis on brahmacharya, and consequently women who bare a lot are frowned upon. The eastern perspective is that sexual energy , if properly channeled to higher states releases auspicious energies. In earlier times of extreme prosperity centuries back in India, there was a focus on left-handed tantra which saw sex as a tool for spiritual growth and inner bliss with the proper tantric methods. This is why you can see some ancient temples in India with sculptures of sexual positions and naked people. It was not mindless hedonism and sexual activity, because the unregulated sexual discharge reduces significantly the prana/chi in the system, resulting in misery and irritability later on .

But again, is all this worth the risk ! The US, russia, Europe can cease to exist or if they survive by any means, will become the new sick men of the world with extensive genetic damage due to radioactive exposure. Future generations of historians and students would perceive this as a case study of what happens when myopic leaders are not able to see the bigger picture.

But is it worth taking such a gamble against Russia with its nuclear arsenal, larger than both the us and france-uk combined ! There can also be third parties who wish such a scenario of nuclear holocaust to happen, seeing the us, nato-europe and russia as adversaries and are plotting moves in this regard. Three birds with the same stone would be a major strategic victory for such. I am hoping that the US, Europe and Russia has contingency plans to evacuate survivors to safer countries or zones in case of nuclear war. The UN can also play a major role in this regard as well.

What if the Russians launch retalitatory strikes on US-Nato nuclear bases through its nuclear submarines patrolling the american and european coastlines ! it can lead to a nuclear war and holocaust wiping out the russians, Americans and europeans . Hope the west has a contingency plan for this. Only Switzerland at present has nuclear bunkers for all its citizens, and it is not even part of nato and hence not subject to attack.

Highly unlikely. The only naked women I have seen in India are naked western tourists in bikinis. Indian women even in the beaches wear full body covering swim suits. There is a lot of emphasis in India on looking respectable and decent to ensure dignity and authority , probably due to social conditioning.

The former Pope Francis had similarly criticized the NATO expansion for the ukraine war for the last two years. https://www.politico.eu/article/pope-francis-nato-cause-ukraine-invasion-russia/ The new American pope however has refused to condemn nato expansion and had blamed Russia alone for the invasion. https://tvpworld.com/86810241/pope-leo-opens-papacy-with-break-from-francis-on-ukraine-war

Western intellectuals and scholars like Noam Chomsky, Christopher Hedges and Jeffrey Sachs have also expressed similar viewpoints on Nato. https://www.actualized.org/forum/topic/79420-noam-chomsky-on-nato/#comment-1112149 https://www.actualized.org/forum/topic/99343-christopher-hedges-on-nato/#comment-1429128 https://www.actualized.org/forum/topic/105640-jeffrey-sachs-on-nato/#comment-1559969

There are also murky cases of the latest Jeffrey Epstein scandal and Dutroux scandal in the west at present where many high ranking western figures were involved, in addition to the war crimes perpetrated in europe and colonial wars elsewhere. It is not correct to ignore them thinking or hoping no one is aware of them. We are obviously bound to retaliate on terrorist attacks . We had not however participated in the recent invasions of Iraq or colonial invasions of Algeria, Phillipines, Haiti, Mexico, Angola, Mozambique, Vietnam, Indonesia , Namibia, Congo and others (too many to put here) and perpetrate human rights violations over there. While the western powers had replaced many democracies with brutal dictatorships in the western hemisphere such as that of General Pinochet in Chile, India is not guilty of the same. The likes of Nobel peace prize winners like Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Dalai Lama, Liu Xiaobo , Aung San Kyi and civil rights activist Cesar Chavez had considered Mahatma Gandhi as an inspirational figure.

India has the largest population in the world, so it is bound to have the highest crime statistics in the world. Since it has the largest number of english speaking news agencies much of them are meticulously documented and reported, leading to a perception of high crime rates in India, when actually in terms of proportion it has lesser crime rates (2.6) than the likes of Kazhakshthan(7.1), Ireland (19.3), Germany (15.5), Denmark (39.9) , Finland (42.5) and so on. Though India has the second largest army on earth, it has not fostered wars and invasions in faraway nations as part of its foreign policy. This itself ensures that a major portion of possible human rights violations around the world have not been committed by India. You can check out the war crimes committed by other war-mongering countries in the world in terms of comparison . The two world wars which originated in europe lead to the deaths of over a 100 million people as well rapes of millions of woman and girls. https://ww1.habsburger.net/en/chapters/sexual-assault-first-world-war https://medicamondiale.org/en/violence-against-women/news/world-war-ii-millions-of-rapes-on-women-and-girls India is the largest contributor to UN peacekeeping forces which have strenthened law and order in many foreign countries . Indian female UN officers like Inspector Shakti Devi and Major Radhika Sen have won UN awards for their distinguished services in Afghanistan and Congo. Dr. Kiran Bedi is an Indian female police officer who became the first woman to serve as the United Nations Police Adviser and had been honored with the UN medal for outstanding service. https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/indian-police-officer-wins-uns-international-female-peacekeeper-award-679232 https://www.firstpost.com/explainers/quicksplained-major-radhika-sen-indian-army-officer-un-advocacy-award-13776450.html https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/kiran-bedi-honoured-with-un-medal/articleshow/707426.cms

The Brahmakumaris consider the Shivalingam to denote God as a point of light. Another name of the Shivalingam means 'Jyotirlingam' with lingam meaning mark/emblem and 'Jyoti' in sanskrit meaning 'light.' Jyotirlingam thus means 'mark of light'.

Peace ends when you are emotionally involved in a situation. The practice of being a detached observer helps you stay stable and calm. It is the best way to approach a decision in any circumstance. ~ Brahmakumaris 'Being detached means not being mentally affected by anything, and observing events as passing scenes in the drama of life. This allows us to see things as they are and take appropriate decisions. But when we become involved, we start questioning why things are the way they are, and why people behave the way they do. This can lead to dissatisfaction, frustration and anger, which can lead us to act in ways that bring sorrow. ~ Brij Mohan (Brahmakumaris)

While the patriarchial abrahamic religions have destroyed goddess temples in south america, europe and asia, the same exist in india intact and there are thousands of goddess temples in India venerating the divine feminine. You can only find the same in buddhist goddess temples in eastern asia and nowhere else. The various Hindu goddesses are considered as manifestations of the supreme and unitary Brahman. India has the largest population in the world and it obviously has the largest crime rates in the world statistically speaking, all reported by the Indian english speaking newsapers, the largest body of english newspapers in the world. However to equate this with lack of feminism in India is ridiculous. There are many female enlightened sages in India worshipped in India and around the world as in Sharda Devi, Mata Amritandandamayi, Anandamayi Ma, Mother Meera, Karunamayi Ma , Anandmurti Gurumaa Nirmala Devi and who have various charitable institutions serving the world. The Brahmakumaris based in India is the only spiritual organisation in the world led, administered, organised and taught by women leaders with their own theological doctrine and they have teaching centers in almost every country on earth. This is in contrast to the long tradition of male only popes and ayatollahs in abrahamic society. Politically as well, India and asia set the norm of female political leaders. India has had both female presidents and prime ministers while the USA has never had a female president till date. Indian female prime minister Indira Gandhi was seen as a role model by british politician Margaret Thatcher who became the first female prime minister of the UK later on. Thatcher’s biographer Hugo Young says the first meeting between them in the year 1976 in Indira Gandhi's home in Delhi, marked an important step in her journey towards belief in herself as a rising international stateswoman. This was prior to Thatcher becoming the British prime minister in 1979. Thatcher called Gandhi the "distinguished leader" of a great country and prime minister of the "greatest democracy" during a luncheon speech while welcoming her in London on March 22, 1982, for the opening of the Festival of India, a cultural programme. Both of them were also known by the sobriquet of 'The Iron Lady'. https://www.hindustantimes.com/chandigarh/what-indira-gandhi-and-margaret-thatcher-shared/story-6ekTtiqP5xoumpgHkMfUPM.html Indian and eastern feminism diverges from western feminism in that Indian women commands more respect and attention as they age due to their wisdom and experience, as wisdom is given a lot of importance in Indian and asian society. In the west beauty is a parameter for the respect and attention women receive in western society,and an aged lady would not command as much respect as a young woman.
