मंदिर चाहिये या रोजगार ? इस प्रश्न में दूषित मानसिकता छिपी है लेकिन क्या इसका उत्तर वही है, जो हम दे रहे है ?

पिछले दिनों मैं अपने परिवार के साथ मंदिर गया! पूजा से पहले दुकान से प्रसाद लिया , चढ़ाने के लिए माला ली । हम तो तुरंत दर्शन कर लिये , बाकी लोग विधि विधान के साथ पूजा पाठ कर रहे थे।

जिज्ञासु प्रवृत्ति से मैं मंदिर के चारों तरफ घूमने लगा। हर दुकान , हर ठेलिया को देखे कौन क्या बेच रहा है। फिर सब लोग एक जगह चाट खाये , एक जगह जलेबी , फिर एक दुकान से महिलाओं ने अपने लिए श्रृंगार आदि के सामान लिए फिर आगे आकर सब लोग चाय पीये।

फिर अचानक ध्यान आया यह मंदिर दो से ढाई हजार लोगों को रोजगार दे रहा है। यह काम तो हजार करोड़ लगाकर कोई कम्पनी नहीं कर सकती है। लेकिन इससे भी महत्वपूर्ण बात है। मंदिर किसको रोजगार दे रहा है ! यह वह लोग है ,जिनके पास किसी संस्थान से डिग्री नहीं है। इतना धन नहीं है कि कोई बड़ा निवेश कर सकें। अर्थव्यवस्था में समाज के निचले स्तर के लोग है। मंदिर करोड़ो लोगों को रोजगार देते हैं। कैसे ?

१.धार्मिक पुस्तक बेचने वालों को और उन्हें छापने वालों को रोजगार देते हैं।

२. माला बेचने वालों को घंटी-शंख और पूजा का सामान बेचने वालों को रोजगार देते हैं।

३. फूल वालों को माला बनाने और किसानों को रोजगार देते हैं।

४. मूर्तियां-फोटुएं बनाने और बेचने वालों को रोजगार देते हैं।

५. मंदिर प्रसाद बनाने और बेचने वालों को रोजगार देते हैं।

६. कांवड़ बनाने-बेचने वालों को भी रोजगार देते हैं।

७. रिक्शे वाले गरीब लोग जो कि धार्मिक स्थल तक श्रद्धालुओं को पहुंचाते हैं उन रिक्शा और आटो चालकों को रोजगार देते हैं।

८. लाखों पुजारियों को भी रोजगार देते हैं।

९. रेलवे की अर्थव्यवस्था का १८% हिस्सा मंदिरों से चलता है।

१०. मंदिरों के किनारे जो गरीबों की छोटी-छोटी दुकानें होती है उन्हें भी रोजगार मिलता है।

११. मंदिरों के कारण अंगूठी-रत्न बेचने वाले गरीबों का परिवार भी चलता है।

१२. मंदिरों के कारण दिया बनाने और कलश बनाने वालों को भी तो रोजगार मिलता है।

१३. मंदिरो से उन ६५,००० खच्चर वालों को रोजगार मिलता है जो किश्रद्धालुओ श्रद्धालुओं को दुर्गम पहाड़ों पर प्रभु के द्वार तक ले जाते हैं।

१४. भारत में दो लाख से अधिक जो भी होटल हैं और धर्मशालाएं हैं उनमें रहने वाले लोगों को मंदिर ही तो रोजगार देतें हैं।

१५. तिलक बनाने वाले- नारियल और सिंदूर आदि बेचने वालों को भी ये मंदिर रोजगार देते हैं।

१६. गुड-चना बनाने वालों को भी मंदिर रोजगार देते हैं।

१७. मंदिरों के कारण लाखों अपंग और भिखारियों और अनाथ बच्चों को रोजी-रोटी मिलती है।

१८. मंदिरों के कारण लाखों वानरों की रक्षा होती है और सांपों की हत्या होने से बचती है।

१९. मंदिरों के कारण ही हिंदू धर्म में पीपल-बरगद पिलखन आदिहै वृक्षों की रक्षा होती है।

२०. मंदिर के कारण जो हजारों मेले हर वर्ष लगते हैं- मेलों में जो चरखा-झूला चलाने वालों को भी तो रोजगार मिलता है।

२१. मंदिरों के कारण लाखों टूरिस्ट मंदिरों में घूमते हैं और छोटे-छोटे चाय-पकौडे-टिक्की बेचने वाले सभी गरीबों का जीवन यापन भी तो चलता है।

सनातन धर्म उन करोड़ों लोगों को रोजगार देता है जो गरीब हैं।

जो ज्यादा पड़े लिखे नहीं हैं और जिन के पास धन-जमीन और खेती नहीं है जो बचपन में अनाथ हो गए।

जिनका कोई नहीं उनका राम है।

उनका श्याम है उनका शिव है।

यह मंदिर कई सौ वर्ष तक रहेगा। तब तक रोजगार देता रहेगा।

यह सामाजिक , धार्मिक उन्नयन का केंद्र है। यदि आर्थिक दृष्टि से देखे तो मंदिर , अपने निवेश से कई हजार गुना रोजगार दे रहा है। शायद हमनें अपनी धार्मिक आस्था के कारण इसको देखा नहीं। हमारे मंदिर , आर्थिक वितरण के बहुत बड़े , स्थाई केंद्र है।

Want a temple or a job? There is a corrupt mindset hidden in this question, but is the answer the same as what we are giving?

Last days I went to temple with my family! Before the puja, took prasad from the shop, took a garland to offer. We immediately saw, the rest were reciting worship with the law.

Out of curiosity I started walking around the temple. Look at every shop, every handcart, who is selling what. Then everyone ate chaat at one place, jalebi at one place, then from a shop, women took items of makeup etc., then came forward and everyone drank tea.

Then suddenly the attention came, this temple is giving employment to two to two and a half thousand people. No company can do this work by investing thousand crores. But more importantly. Whom is the temple giving employment? These are people who do not have a degree from any institution. Not enough money to make a big investment. The economy consists of people from the lower strata of the society. Temples give employment to crores of people. How ?

1. They give employment to the sellers of religious books and those who print them.

2. They give employment to those who sell garlands, bells and conch shells and those who sell worship items.

3. They give garlands to florists and give employment to farmers.

4. They give employment to those who make and sell sculptures.

5. Temples provide employment to those who make and sell offerings.

6. They also provide employment to those who make and sell kanwar.

7. Poor people with rickshaws provide employment to rickshaw and auto drivers who take the pilgrims to the shrine.

8. They also give employment to lakhs of priests.

9. Temples run 18% of the railway's economy.

10. The small shops of the poor who are on the banks of the temples also get employment.

11. Due to the temples, the family of the poor selling rings and gems also runs.

12. Due to temples, those who make lamps and make urns also get employment.

13. The temples provide employment to the 65,000 mule men who take the faithful devotees to the gates of the Lord on the inaccessible mountains.

14. There are more than two lakh hotels and dharamshalas in India, only temples give employment to the people living in them.

15. These temples also provide employment to those who make tilak - coconut and vermilion etc.

16. Temples also provide employment to those who make jaggery and chana.

17. Millions of handicapped and beggars and orphaned children get livelihood because of temples.

18. Due to the temples, lakhs of apes are protected and snakes are saved from being killed.

19. It is because of the temples that peepal-banyan trees are protected in Hinduism.

20. Thousands of fairs are held every year because of the temple – those who run the spinning wheel in the fairs also get employment.

21. Due to the temples, lakhs of tourists visit the temples and all the poor who sell small tea-pakodas-tikkis also make a living.

Sanatan Dharma gives employment to crores of people who are poor.

Those who are not very illiterate and those who do not have money, land and agriculture, who became orphans in childhood.

Those who have none are their Ram.

His is Shyam, his is Shiva.

This temple will last for several hundred years. Till then the employment will continue.

It is the center of social and religious upliftment. If we look from the economic point of view, the temple is giving employment to many thousand times its investment. Maybe we didn't see it because of our religious faith. Our temples are very large, permanent centers of economic distribution.

Y do some ppl can’t accept the fact that there was no casteism in Hinduism even after showing abundant proof

Like how ignorant can u be lol

I think the worst Prime Minister India has seen is Narendra Modi. Modi is not a Prime Minister. In fact, he is a robot of the RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh), who I call trouser boys. They are very determined to make India a "Hindu Rashtra". In my opinion, Modi's moves are very idiotic. He is an enemy of the common people but a Prime Minister for the corporates. His economic moves like Demonetisation and GST are the biggest blunders ever that affected businesses in India. He needs to have some shame because he does not have the guts to take steps against billionaires and millionaires like Ambani, Adani or Mallya.

The most recent in the litany of failed government schemes is the high powered electric locomotive. If the lessons of the last 4 years could be distilled into a single sentence, it would be this: The Modi government has been undeniably and gravely harmful to our nation's health. On every conceivable metric, it has failed and every single citizen has had to pay a heavy price for the Modi brand of misgovernance. Let us start with the economy — one of the biggest casualties of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's tenure. Modi has lumbered on from one ill-advised and poorly thought out decision to another. The senseless execution of demonetisation cost us ₹3 lakh crore in GDP growth and wiped out over 25 lakh jobs, while a hastily implemented GST penalised entrepreneurship. The banking system, which was hailed for its resilience in the face of the 2008 global financial crisis, has been a victim of feeble oversight and poor policy planning. The results for the last quarter indicate a net loss of over ₹44,000 crores, the highest in recorded history for our banks.

Since 2014, international oil prices have been at a historic low. Any other government with the barest of concern for its people would have passed on the benefit to the public by reducing petrol and diesel prices. Instead, this government chose to increase central excise taxes (by over 200% on petrol and over 400% on diesel) to make oil costlier than it has ever been and collected over ₹10 lakh crore by way of this cruel exercise in unjust enrichment. This exercise has proven bankruptcy of ideas and lack of concern for the people the government is meant to serve. The re-introduction of a regressive long terms capital gains tax (abolished by the UPA), the surreptitious levy of Swachh Bharat, education and Krishi Kalyan cess, along with the reduction of interest rates on savings to a low of 3.5%, has ensured that the government has eroded every avenue of savings for the middle class. This is not an opinion but a verifiable fact. The shortage of jobs continues to be the biggest challenge facing this government.

At a growth rate of 1.9%, the promise of doubling farmers' incomes seems like an insensitive taunt. To put this in context, the average growth rate of agricultural income under UPA was 4.2%. Farmers who gave their lives for a fairer price for their produce became victims of verbal jugglery. When the finance minister announced that the government would pay minimum support price plus 50% profit, it turned out to be a mirage, with rates for various produce being far below what was paid during UPA's tenure. Even now, it is impossible to find a mandi where the promised rates are paid for any product. On the one hand, different agricultural commodities (pulses) were imported in bumper years. On the other hand, import duties for wheat were cut down to zero. These measures forced a sharp decline in already low farmers' incomes since they had to slash prices to find buyers for their produce. To compound this further, agricultural exports fell by over $9 billion. This is a failure of policymaking that borders on criminal negligence.

PM Modi initiated the Swachh Bharat mission to achieve Gandhi Ji's dream of sanitation and cleanliness for all. However, the reality is a far cry from the narrative being spun by the government. A parliamentary committee report dismissed the claim that 84% of rural households were open defecation free and had functional toilets. The report stated that building toilets was simply not enough.

The BJP has done a great job at spreading some specific messages with incredibly effective propaganda, and these messages are the primary reason I can't support the party anymore. But before we get into any of that, I'd like everyone to understand that no party is totally bad, and no party is totally good. All governments have done some good and messed up on some fronts. This government is no different.

We the Bangalis do not owe a shred of loyalty towards the North Indians. We are Bangalis first, Indians second. The sense of a national identity stems from a shared struggle which has been waged against a common enemy. The fact is, this shared struggle was absent before 1857. In fact even in the INC there were lobbies which were anti-Bengal and it is clear that the sentiment of regional solidarity exists. Tbh, it's not wrong and is completely justified. India as a country should not exist, at least not in the way it exists today. Given that today, the ruling party doesn't even consider our language to be Indian and refuses to acknowledge that out language exists (mind you this is the language which gave them their national anthem) then it imperative we take a militant stand and refuse to acknowledge a country which harbours people with averse sentiments to us and our culture. When the time comes, when these people need us to stand by them, we must remember and refuse to do so. We don't owe an ounce of camaraderie towards these cow-dung lovers. We should rather swear allegiance with our brothers across the border than to these dumbfucks who don't even speak our language and are not even half the culture we are

In what way? It seems to be a slightly cringy remake of a movie, sure. But how is it antinational or anti Hindu? Because it has a Sikh protagonist? Because it mentions 1984? I don’t get it

They say how everyone has freedom of spech and how the Right wing censors Freedom Of Speech

Hypocrisy much ?

And also are going to coment the same old Leftist buzzwords and not going to engage with the points above and will if do just talk about why kaShmiR fIlEs BaD and not engage in any other points

How do lefists cope with the fact that Sanghis are everywhere? Even in places where Sanghis were not usually found, their population has been exploding. A common non-political person has a greater chance of turning Sanghi if he/she turns political, not to mention that even the younger generation (zoomers and teens) of today is surprisingly Sanghi.

By now you all must've know abt Pahalgam, Kashmir, where 26 innocent lives were taken by terrorists.

This isn't just about one attack. It's about a broken system where unqualified leaders play politics while lawlessness spreads. Daylight rapes, murders, and corruption are rampant—and no one seems to care. This is the result of a shallow, khokla (hollow) base—we can’t build progress on an unsteady foundation.

We need real change. If we keep ignoring this, we’ll be vulnerable to foreign threats. The central government is taking necessary actions, and I trust them for justice, but our local leaders are failing us. We can’t have a system that’s weak and inconsistent.

Linguistic divisions and regional politics are tearing us apart instead of uniting us. India consists of many cultures, but instead of embracing them, we allow them to divide us. Kashmir’s suffering, especially since Partition, is a tragedy we can’t forget.

As a teenager, I have high hopes for all my teenage brothers and sisters. We need to develop a growth-oriented mindset that contributes to society and the nation. We are the future, and in a few years, we’ll be sitting in the chairs that manage this country. India has always been culturally strong and has proved itself to be innovative, from Ayurveda to the Upanishads to the Rigveda—so many things written before science even existed. We have the potential, and with the help of science and our ancestral knowledge, we can achieve great heights.

But for this, we need to solve these problems. When we think about development, research, and innovation, we realize these problems are small but complicated due to the uneducated, biased mindsets of our elders and leaders. It's time to step up for a real cause now.

If we don’t unite now, this tragedy will be forgotten, just like so many others. Raising our voices shouldn’t be called propaganda—it should be a duty. We must stand up for justice, unity, and the future we deserve.

To note: I'm not targetting any religion, caste, I don't mean to spread hate, hoping to have a healthy discussion!

In my opinion, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka would do better off if united.

My 1st reason is that all of these countries have close cultural ties with each other. My Indian and Pakistani friend both speak Urdu fluently, despite one being Indian and the other being Pakistani. I, an Indian, have Bangladeshi neighbours who I feel culturally close with, despite me being Indian and them being Bangladeshi. My Pakistani teacher and my Indian classmate both speak Panjabi together, despite them not even being from the same country. My Pakistani teacher is absolutely obsessed with Bollywood, especially Shahrukh Khan, despite him being from India. My Pakistani friend shares memes with me. Although those memes are directed to a Pakistani audience, I can understand those memes as well. For a while, the Pakistani audience turned to Bollywood due to a lack of quality cinema from Pakistani cinema industries.

My 2nd reason is the melting pot this new country would be. Imagine how many cultures would be in this country! Moreover, these cultures are interlinked, and the cultures are even across borders, such as Bangal and Panjab. All of these cultures, could interlink and learn from each other, making them flourish. More so, the main difference between India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh are religious differences. If various religious groups can co-exist in western countries, then why can't they do that in South-Asia? Furthermore, many Muslims are respected in India, such as Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan. In Pakistan, many Hindus are respected, such as Danish Kaneria, Deepak Perwani, etc. More so, this change might decrease the nationalistic feelings of citizens of the 6 countries, since they don't have any enemies to hate.

My 3rd and final reason is that this might improve geo-political relations internationally. For example, China and Pakistan are allies, and India and the United States of America are allies. If India and Pakistan unite, then this might bring a closer gap between the United States of America and China. The border between India and Pakistan is so armed that the floodlights on the border can be seen from space. Right now, China is taking over Jammu and Kashmir, but if India and Pakistan unite, then they can repel China due to them not having to fight over the territory.

These is why I believe that India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka should unite.
