Kanan Jaswals Thoughts for the Days of December 2021

01 Dec: Steadfastness in one’s views even when the evidence on the ground and logic are to the contrary is nothing but obstinacy.

02 Dec: Try to create something new everyday if you do not want your life to be taken over by dullness and boredom.

03 Dec: If you are not, then learn to be comfortable with yourself. After that, you will enjoy more not only your solitude but also the company of others.

04 Dec: The biggest gap - there is so much to learn and so little time for that.

05 Dec: Quitters magnify the problem and diminish themselves.

06 Dec: For getting success again, it helps to remember our past successes and, more so, the efforts we had put in to achieve them. 07 Dec: Weighing your words before you utter them is very difficult but it is also highly rewarding.

08 Dec: When there is so much to be done around us, how can we ever allow ourselves to get bored?

09 Dec: Succession planning is one of the most important tasks performed by a real leader.

10 Dec: Being under-qualified for a job is good because it gives you an opportunity to learn and grow. 11 Dec: Only those who are prepared to sacrifice even their personal prestige at tha altar of protecting the nation’s interests can be its leaders.

12 Dec: The present leadership of India is undoubtedly strong but it does need our unstinted and strong support to remain so.

13 Dec: Resurgent and self-confident Hindus are marching ahead determinedly and any number of fake-Hindus and fake-Gandhis can not stop them.

14 Dec: No one can deter you from taking a path which you are totally convinced is the right one for you.

15 Dec: The idea that decency and politics are not mutually exclusive is foreign to quite a few of our politicians.

16 Dec: No harm in being wise after the event if you are going to use that wisdom before the subsequent events.

17 Dec: India’s society and government ought to encourage emotionally and materially the country’s finest brains to do serious research aimed at solving its defence and other problems.

18 Dec: It is not difficult to understand that the self-styled liberals’ attacks on Hinduttva are only a surrogate for attacks on the Hindu religion. 19 Dec: Well-thought out and concerted efforts are being constantly made to change India’s demographics and thereby erode its internal security.

20 Dec: Fairness and timely justice for all but mollycoddling or appeasement of none ought to be the creed to live by for the Central and all State governments in India.

21 Dec: Sincerely working for a cause far bigger than ourselves raises us at least in our own eyes.

22 Dec: Nothing infuses us with fresh energy like the sights and sounds and smells of nature.

23 Dec: By picking up one task at a time and doing it well and then repeating the process as many times as it takes, we will prove far more productive than those multitasking.

24 Dec: It is the team leader's right to expect their team to perform well and their duty to ensure that it does.

25 Dec: Making India great again is our national ambition and each and every Indian should do everything possible for them to contribute to making it a reality in the none too distant future.

26 Dec: When technology and money combine with evil spirit, no refuge is left for humanity.

27 Dec: Let’s start the day with a plan in mind and enthusiasm at heart; the world is waiting for us to do today something of substance.

28 Dec: In its long history, India has never attacked other nations. But is this pacifism not the reason that India had to suffer the indignity and ignominy of being defeated many a time by foreigners and enslaved by them for hundreds of years?

29 Dec: A Hindu without Hinduttva is just like a man without manhood or a human without humanity. And this is also true of the election-time, temple-hopping, janeudhari Hindus.

30 Dec: These COVID times have only reconfirmed what our sages had said millennia ago that the greatest happiness lay in good health.

31 Dec: If we can’t be directly involved in reawakening society or other tasks of nation-building, we must help in whichever way the others who are.

The Culture of Five Positives

  THE  CULTURE  OF  FIVE  POSITIVES Asked what was the reason India was still a developing country more than seven decades after independence and obvious progress in some fields, an elderly gentleman, who had been a member of an all-India service for all but the first two of the Indian republic's first forty years, replied that our DNA was defective. Well, the fault does not lie in our DNA but in the culture we have developed and have adopted over the last couple of centuries. Barring some honourable exceptions, it is a culture of dishonesty, self-delusion, indiscipline, irresponsibility, and under-performance. If India is to truly do justice to the talent of almost billion and a half Indians and the opportunities they have, the present negative culture will have to be replaced by the culture of five positives—Honesty, Excellence, Law-abidingness, Responsibility, and above all, Patriotism. What follows is an explanation, in some detail, of each of these five pos...

पाँच सकारात्मकताओं की संस्कृति

पाँच सकारात्मकताओं की संस्कृति यह पूछे जाने पर कि क्या कारण है कि स्वतन्त्रता के सात दशकों से अधिक के बाद , कुछ क्षेत्रों में स्पष्ट प्रगति के बावजूद , भारत आज भी विकासशील देशों में शामिल है , एक वयोवृद्ध सज्जन , जो भारतीय गणराज्य के प्रथम 40 वर्षों में 38 वर्ष एक अखिल भारतीय सेवा के सदस्य रह चुके हैं , का उत्तर था , " हमारा डीएनए ही गड़बड़ है." किन्तु ऐसा बिलकुल नहीं है , हम भारतीयों का डीएनए वैसा ही है जैसा अन्य देशों के निवासियों का , परंतु दोष है पिछली दो-तीन शताब्दियों में हमारे देश में पनपी और बढ़ी सामाजिक एवं कार्य संस्कृति का. कुछ सम्माननीय अपवादों को छोड़ दें तो यह संस्कृति बेईमानी , अतिशयोक्ति , स्वयं को भी धोखा देने , गैर-ज़िम्मेदारी , कानून तोड़ने , अनुशासनहीनता और कार्य में अयोग्यता एवं अकुशलता की बन गई है. यदि भारत को लगभग डेढ़ अरब भारतीयों की प्रतिभा एवं उनको मिल रहे अवसरों के साथ न्याय करना है तो पूरे देश में वर्तमान में व्याप्त नकारात्मक संस्कृति के स्थान पर पाँच सकारात्मकताओं - सत्यनिष्ठा या ईमानदारी , श्रेष्ठता , कानून का पालन , ज़िम्मेदारी , और देशभक्ति - की...

Let India's brightest youth find technological solutions to its problems

For India to be Aatmanirbhar (self-dependent), it is essential that the country's top young talents, the B.Tech. students at the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), National Institutes of Technology (NITs), and 20 other top engineering colleges like the Birla Institute of Technology and Science at Pilani, Vellore Institute of Technology at Vellore, and Netaji Subhas University of Technology at Delhi, are engaged in doing ably-supervised, intensive research to find technological solutions to India's myriad problems, creating, in the process, precious intellectual property which would be entirely India's own. Becoming a technology-maker and seller would be a great break from our traditional role of a technology-taker and buyer. Presently, hardly any research has to be pursued by B.Tech. students as a part of their course requirement. After graduation, for pursuing higher studies in science and technology and doing research, IIT graduates and, to an appreciable extent,...
