It beats it’s drum as the world peacemaker although it fought many wars with Pakistan and continues to fight in Jammu and Kashmir ( J & K) a proxy war. It is fighting many separatist outfits in North Eastern front apart from the militant communists all over the country except in few states. Yet it claims as the land of peace. With departed MK Gandhi in backdrop as father of nation, many acclaim it as a unique nation that won freedom by non-violence and admired India. During the tenure of Pundit (Enlightened) Jawaharlal Nehru, the first and much acclaimed Prime Minister, it founded Non Aligned Movement (NAM) along with President Sukarno of Indonesia, Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia, Charismatic President Gamel Abdel Nasser of Egypt and preached world peace and some world nations joined the out fit. Most of these nations were insignificant and poor nations and had no say on world affairs. They were just clapping crowd and trying to find some identity on world forums. Super powers had their own inhibitions about NAM and cared hoots to it. John Dulles the famous Secretary of State, USA in the past called Non alignment as a sin much to the indignation of the NAM leaders who fumed and fretted..................
Politics As Usual

Here's a picture of politics sea lion style, in honor of our current, "presumptive" presidential nominees.
Standing on pier 39 in San Francisco watching the sea lions vie for whatever, reminded me of the presidential campaign currently afire in the USA. Beyond the growls and barks; beyond the philosophical semaphores; the embedded message on each side is as simple as this: "I want to win."

HUMAN VALUES IN CHRISTIANITY

Christianity compassion Delhi faith forgiveness Godse Hinduism Islam jesus john love MK Gandhi paul revengeSome critics describe Christianity as a religion that is devoid of human happiness, inculcates fear and that the followers are after salvation that is a mirage. But Jesus was a source of happiness and those who follow him would also be happy. They should not worry over the difficulties encountered during their lives and scared of challenges enroute. However saying is easy but in practice it is very difficult as people say. The Christians must concentrate on Jesus and heavens and with great devotion and faith must lead their lives instead of going down in unhappiness and dejection. At no point of time, Jesus said that he would remove all difficulties for his followers. He said that he would help and standby those who are in difficulties during the life. He would help the followers to carry their cross of their difficulties with patience, determination and love. He would fill love in the hearts of his followers and reduce the burden of their grievances. He demonstrated to the world by carrying his own cross and sacrificed himself on the Cross and even at the time of his death, he did not blame any one. Therefore all Christians loving Jesus and having faith in him must carry their own Cross of grievances with cheer and follow the foot steps shown by Lord Jesus. This is the true life of a Christian.............................
God, Jesus and Christianity
Submitted by K Prabhakar Rao on Thu, 08/07/2008 - 11:46. Balarama bible Christianity compassion Forgiveness Devaki faith god Holy spirit Jews john Judas Kamsa krishna Kunti love Mathura Nanda Pandava Pilate romans Trinity VasudevaAll the Christians believe in the God. God exists outside the universe that he created. Humans are made in the image of god. God has no variations while humans are varied in appearance, conduct and thinking. God is spiritual while humans are in possession of physical existence. Humans can think and decide what is good and bad and are capable of taking decisions accordingly. All world religions believe in God in some way or other. In certain religions, God is seen as entirely independent while others view God and world as one. These two are the two extreme assumptions and beliefs.
