Bio-Toilet in Train

I will say bio toilets in train just suck.
The system where the toilet just opened to the tracks was better.
I know that Jairam Ramesh of earlier UPA Govt. had called the Indian Railways as the biggest 'open air' toilet in the world. But it was hygienic. Stuff you empty into the toilet just flowed out into the tracks. If the train was in motion, that was very much better as the stuff would get strewn across in bits and pieces as the person emptied his bowels or bladder as the case may be.
Now what is the situation. I have seen in several trains bio-toilets are installed and we see stuff floating in liquid puddle inside the toilet.
The very sight of it can make you sick in the stomach. Now what is the Govt. trying to do.
For the passengers who travel long distances in the trains, obviously they would want to use the toilets and now after the installation of bio-toilets in several trains, these people risk contaminating diseases as the stuff floats around in the toilets they use.
It is totally yuck and I feel the Govt should avoid installation of these bio-toilets.
In the rush to make Railways toilet-discarge-free, they are making the journey inside the train more horrible.
Things should be made better and not worse. As time progresses that is the demand of things that things should change for the better. Not if you see a liquid mix floating in the toilet, you will dare not sit there or use that. But earlier system where the stuff flows into the tracks below was better and the stuff which goes out there nature (the elements) would take care of it. Except in stations where the cleaning has to be done manually using sprays and stuff.
If the Govt. is really interested in doing something it should learn from planes as to how they use suction system to flush out stuff in the toilets and not floating mass as in the bio-toilets. Things should change for the better that is what I ask.

Bali Practice

I will say the practice of putting a creature on Sacrifice or "Bali" has long existed in Hinduism.
Mel Gibson movie did touch upon that fact in 'Apocalypto' where native Americans where indulging in the practice of putting human beings to sacrifice.
The movie shows how Western influence came and now the practice has become practically non-existent.
I will say forget Native Americans and look towards the country of Hindus i.e. India or Hindustan.
Here also what I feel that Bali practice did exist.
Now even today in many temples mainly belonging to Mother deity or Maa or Kali Maa by whatever name we may call the presiding deity, this system of sacrificing animals exist.
The Govt. i.e. State and local Govt.s are trying a lot to reduce or prevent or minimise this practice.
But people will carry on the traditions or a few brave ones will and will violate all Govt. orders and restrictions for the same.
It is like in pre-Independence India when the British Govt. outlawed the system of child marriage, Indians would have taken great pleasure in violating the laws and conducting those child marriages in secret, and in the dead of the night.
Now what is achieved by Bali or sacrifice of animals.
One thing is that we know life is created by God and upon death to God we shall return. What if the same thing is applicable to animals also.
When an animal is dead it also returns to God. If rebirth exists then based upon its "Karma" whether good actions or bad actions God will be deciding where that soul would be born next.
Even if we disregard the theory of rebirth, we know that an animal life is extinguished during the Bali practice and the body remains whereas the 'life element' or soul of the animal is gone.
What if it goes to God.
People pray to God. People have full faith and belief that God will fulfill all their wishes and that is the reason we find Hindus speaking in the ears of mouse statues or rat statues in Ganesh temples or bull (Nandi) statue or cow statue in Shiva or Narayan temples.
Now they speak to a live animal and then place the sacrifice and it gets killed and immediately the animals' soul reaches the Lord Almighty and the animal or the soul of the animal repeats to the Lord what was said to it in the moments before he was sacrificed.
Thus Lord Almighty takes note of the same and takes all out effort to fulfill the wishes of the one who has placed the sacrifice.
And that my friends is probably the reason for the Bali practice in Hinduism. That is my theory. Also, in Hinduism women i.e. married women put Sindoor in the forehead to indicate they are married.
But in Ancient times, I feel that this Sindoor which is now Sindoor was blood and people used to put blood on their foreheads.
Centuries of rule and invasion by civilised people from West, Arabs, Persians and Europeans have probably changed the practice of applying blood to Sindoor which is known as 'vermilion powder'.

Home, Shaandaar

Watched the aboove two movies on Tata Sky Showcase channel.
Home was an animated movie and Shandaar was a Bollywood movie.
Both movies are okay to be watched once.

Tipu Sultan

I will say Tipu Sultan was a great man.
Tipu Sultan deserves all the respect in the world.
And what VHP/RSS(Riot Sevak Sangh)/BJP is doing is simply unacceptable.
They are opposing a man who was truly great.
He opposed the British and that was best.
Even now we read about Revolt of 1857 in schools. We are taught to accept that they were the first freedom fighters India had. But much before that there was Tipu Sultan.
He opposed the British and hence he was eliminated or killed by the British.
We can say Britain has been the enemy of Islamic societies over centuries.
It slowly but surely destroyed the Muslim Empires because it wanted to establish its own empire.
In the First World War it destroyed the Ottoman Empire and used Indian soldiers in that war.
India was under Britain under that time.
In the recent past it attacked Libya and earlier it attacked Iraq.
After Revolt of 1857 it ended the Rule of Bahadur Shah Zafar who was a 'titular head' only (as much of India was already split).
But we can say that without elimination of Tipu Sultan the concept of "United India" could not have arisen.
Hence, here lies the difference.
Do you support united India or do you support powerful Mysore State?
Because if you want Tipu Sultan to succeed then you are bellitting the efforts undertaken by the British who made all efforts to unite India.
But then you love the freedom fighters the ones which overthrew the British rule. And then you cannot but love and adore Tipu Sultan who put a tough fight to the British.
Anyway there is no reason for the BJP and RSS and VHP to oppose him. And that is they oppose him due to his religion. Hence they are extremely divisive people and should be avoided at all costs.

Paris Attacks

I will say Paris attacks has all the hallmarks of a Jewish backed or sponsored attack.
Jewish people want the whole world especially Americans and Europeans to scream out loud "I love Jews".
Americans are already in the pockets of Jews and Israel.
Now when Europe wants to go closer with Muslim World, that is simply unacceptable to Jews and hence they organise these kind of attacks.
They know France is all powerful and is the muscle of the European Union. Great Britain is in the fringes of the EU.
It is no coincidence that PM Modi of India who is Jew backed PM is in UK and then the attack took place.
Thus Israel wants to prove that it is the greatest when it denies rights to Palestinians.
And Europeans have no option but to love Israel and Jews and overrule the human rights and gross violations which Israel does.
It is important to know who your enemy is.
The enemy of the world is the one who is the enemy of the human race and human beings and does not have regard for human life. The enemy of the world carries out illegal occupation of lands and imprisons millions.
And that is Israel and Jews. Over decades they or their backed people have left entire societies and countries in ruin.
