  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Indian researchers have developed a cost-effective, sustainable haemostatic sponge from natural resources that can significantly improve survival rates in critical situations by stabilizing severe injuries. https://www.shiksha.com/news/engineering-iit-kanpur-develops-sustainable-hemostatic-sponge-for-rapid-bleeding-control-blogId-194224
  10. 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
  11. Indonesia, the fourth most populous nation on earth, joined the BRICS group of emerging economies this year. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/1/7/indonesia-joins-brics-group-of-emerging-economies
  12. 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.
  13. An another article by Tom Switzer on nato ... https://www.cis.org.au/commentary/opinion/the-wests-bid-to-expand-nato-eastwards-was-a-mistake/
  14. 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 .
  15. 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.
