Babble 026

Pious people are believers. Not all believers are pious. Pious non-believing is possible.

খুস আর সুখ। মন বলছিল দুটো কথার মানে আলাদা। প্রথমটা ফার্শি। কিন্তু বাস্তবে ও ব্যবহারে দুটোকে আলাদা করা সম্ভব হলো না।

Pluralism is hallmark of Hinduism. Indian subcontinent is familiar with Christianity and Islam for many years now. For a Hindu agnostic/atheist it is difficult to call ever present type of Buddhism, Jainism, Islam, Christianity, Sikhism etc non-Hindu. Even believers like Ramakrishna Paramhansa, devout Hindu thought all roads lead to same target. Ignoramus wonders ‘what prevented China and India from converting to Islam’. (Is communism out of Hinduism?)



Self defense art of Kungfu, Taekondo etc has a past with Buddhism. More recently Sikhism mixed ahimsa of vaishnavism with military arms successfully; that saved them, Sikhs of Punjab, from extinction. Sikhs were literally learners.

Boodhooram is eagerly watching what has been done with Tibetans problem with China. Communism to Buddhism, a clash of two godless religions.

Listen Baby

Some amount of money is being deducted from salary and paid as Income Tax. Whenever one buys something or service, an amount is being set aside as Service Tax, Sale Tax, Excise duty etc. Time tested system is old one, look from the dawn of world history, and is contentiously evolving. Also there are Property Tax, Estate Duty, Inheritance Duty, Entrance Tax etc. Pool of Money collected this way is being spent to deliver goods and Services collectively to the societies and individuals at normal times and emergencies. The jobs are being done by servants of the states, NGOs, licensed private parties etc.

One such agency is Police department. Servants of states in these institutions are arguably fully trained and programmed to face crooks, robbers, terrorist, mobs etc. What was then Rizwanur Rehman, a humbly employed young graphic artist, now a dead man, was doing at Lal Bazaar the Police Headquarter of Calcutta/Kolkata? He, so far an unblemished character, was ‘invited’ for a ‘talk’ with uniformed Police Officers, whose salaries are being paid from Tax money perhaps Rizwanur also paid. Published news so far is that the point of discussion was ‘abduction’ of Pryanka daughter of very rich man/friend of Big Shots. Pryanka and Rizwanur both adults, somewhat educated, believer in state and its institutions, had valid Marriage certificate. Rizwanur, a dead body found in unnatural circumstances, is buried by family, after inconclusive autopsy, naturally.

Moral: Service of Servant Officers of the States can be over-bought by rich mans cut money.

Resolution

Blogging is to publish blogs, but good Bolger is expected to visit and stay for sometime in others blog. Ignoramus feels bloggers expect comments from visitors; anonymous comments will also be welcomed. Filthy comments are spam and undesirable. So as a three year old bloggers resolution today is to leave comments after visiting blogs.
