Congress-dying to save the face and image, that is already diminishing...

The results of election in five states are out. On surface, it may appear that Congress has fared fairly well and regained at least a part of its sluiced image.
But,
If one dwells a little deeper, one can distinguish the debacle obtained by Congress, in at least four states. Except Assam, Congress in its original and self worthy stature has proven to be a disaster. Firstly, the astounding victory achieved by Mamata Banerjee in West Bengal, is to a large extent an anti-incumbency towards the prevailing Left Govt.’s rule of 34 years.
And,
The charishma of Trinamool Congress and Mamata di, has given a diminutive chance for Congress to save grace. In reality, it is the Manta factor, which has successes and that too, mainly due to people of the state turning weary of non-progressive Left rule. These dynamics would put Congress, further into trouble, even though earning ministerial berths in the new govt. With TMC gaining further strength, its demands and weightage would thus shoot up in Union Govt. too. In West Bengal, Congress has had to be satisfied with merge 7 ministeries, in all, as compared to 36 to TMC. Thus, Congress is only “Tiger on Paper” in West Bengal.
And,
We all know, the Bengali tigress is terrorizing...
Tamilnadu election of 2011..
Congress would best like to forget it as if it never happened. The Congress-DMK tie has been like a nightmare in the last few years and Congress has damaged its whatever left out image to nil. The DMK stooped to all time low level of corruption and in recently concluded survey, it has been observed that A. Raja has “achieved” second top most spot in the entire world, in creating scam!!! Now, with Kanimozi, DMK member of Rajyasabha and daughter of DMK Supreme Karunanidhi, in CBI custody, its partner in the govt. would also obtain a few blots on its image. If the horse would lose its credibility, so would the rider. It took a real long span for Congress to admitting the culpability, of Raja and Kanimozi and their hesitation excavate further loss of reliance, from the heart of people. Finally, the DMK-Congress ally gained only 30 seats out of 234 and advantage Amma Jaylalitha...
Kerala, though have been slightly better stories, but not been all smiles for Madam Sonia. Kerala has been won with only 4 sets margin.
And,
To talk of in-news , “Yuvraaj “ Rahul Gandhi....
Who is at present, struggling extremely to penetrate in the Uttar Pradesh power struggle and prepare his grounds for upcoming Vidhansabha election, in early next year.
But,
I presume he has average sharp memory and he has not completely eradicated the bitter reminicients of gone by elections, of Gujarat, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, where this Congress proclaimed “Yuvraaj” after taking the reins of election campaigning in under his regime, the party Congress has had to suffer irreparable losses. Recently, too it has been a lousy experience for Rahul Gandhi.. Firstly, taking Kerala as example, where Rahul had selected 17 candidates of his choice, only 3 could see the winning light. In Tamilnadu, Rahul had registered 14 lakhs fresh members but the result has been totally contradictory in effect. Congress had contested on 63 seATS IN Tamilnadu and out of them 10 tickets were offered to Rahul brigade..
And,
All ten lost.
These facts confirm the reality..
If the UPA Govt. does not resign, people may compel them, too...

The alarming requirement to uplift the female birthrate.. or the consequences would be horrific!!!

Gujarati literature’s immortal compilation of father’s torrential affection towards his daughter dearest... DIKARI VAHAAL NO DARIYO..
And,
This eternal expression can not be bounded by area, region or language..
It is fondness and bonding that is universally analogous.
Yet, it is heartbreaking reality that shakes our being, that in the progressive state of Maharashtra, about four and a half lakhs female infenticides have not been welcomed on this pious soil and they have been exterminated before entering this world, in the last decade.
Taking into account, the numbers of 2011 census, with the exception of Vidrabha region, at each province the integers of female have decreased considerably.
And,
That is frightening!!!
The following table will provide an insight into this alarming veracity.
2001 2011
1. Beed 894 801
2. Jalgaon 880 829
3. Ahmednagar884 839
4. Buldhana 908 842
5. Kolhapur 839 845
6. Aurangabad890 848
7. Pune 902 873
8. Mumbai 922 874
9. Thane 931 918.
Under “Lake Ladki Abhiyan”, the Sex Determination Test and Selection of preferred sex of the child were banned by the govt. a few years ago. In 2003, the Hon. Supreme Court announced a committee of State wise Observers, who would conduct a meeting every four months. The person, who splinter the law formed, in this regard would be evicted in the court of law and would have to pay, the fine of 10,000 Rs. and strict jail for three years. The numbers of Sonography machines, which is important instrument to check on the growth and condition of the unborn, has touched 78,000...
But,
Sorrowfully, they are being utilized for determining the sex of the fetus.
And,
We, have robustly declared 50% reservation for women in Govt. profession as well as political posts and contest elections for the municipalities.
In the forthcoming Corporation Election, of the state approaching in the early next year, 50% of women will be contesting elections and occupying prestigious positions..
But,
Looking at the current scenario of female ratio, falling drastically, it is an disquieting picture that is being painted in front of our eyes. The law, of providing equal opportunities to the womenfolk has been paralyzed from its very beginning. The important issue, that has nurtured this germ of equal opening to the female counterpart, has been to provide the down trodden and compressed women, a prospect to grow along side the male and to rub their shoulders, with equal footing.
Forlornly, the distressing figures of corrosion in number of females born, per male, projects a very very terrifying situation of tomorrow. The reservation for female spacies, upto 50% offers an occasion for every women belonging to any caste, creed or religion to grab a seat to contest as much as the men.
But,
The level of education, not upto the mark, especially in the rural areas, unable the females belonging to remotest corner to enjoy the fruits of the huge chance, bestowed upon them.
And,
With the numerals projecting the daughters being born per sons, descending downwards, it is an alarming moment for future generations. Their decreasing numbers pose threat, to the reservation that has been offered.
And,
It is equally essential to educate the population, regarding the gender equality, as to confer them with the reservations to equip them to enjoy the fruits of the benefit awarded to them..

The social disparity, that is predominant in our society.

The television is the widestspread medium of entertainment. The Idiot Box, as it is affectionately addressed, holds a very compulsive place in our homes. The Idiot Box, term is the endowment, bestowed upon especially to portray its plundering effect on the lives of the common men and his privacy. Its addiction is exemplary and no one, young, old, man, women have been able to survive, without being victimized by its effect… .
The remotest corner of the country, too is equipped with the presence of these medium. The television viewing is perhaps, the cheapest mode of entertainment available. With the advent of tele-serials, especially the Saas-Bahu daily soaps, the prime-time viewership has increased by leaps and bound. The kitchen politics, the existence of the villainous other women, the business competition and what not??? They have become the every day companions of the commoners and mostly women have tuned addicted to watching these daily soaps. Come what may and during the airing of these family sagas, the women folks are glued to their television sets.
And,
Thus, the Television viewing has taken the form of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder…
More and more tele-serials are being made portraying the rural culture, lifestyle and rituals. It is a common observation that viewers love to watch whatever they can relate to.. Thus, the subjects presenting the regressive mindset of society and the pain being forced upon them, finds the topmost slotting among the little educated class of small towns and rural regions. Where as this kind of regression oriented portrayals are looked down upon by the upper highly educated starta of urban areas. There are serials projecting their city culture and business rivalry and women not being weakening, but they do not fit in the mindset of the rural viewers.
And,
Even though, such television shows, even after being extremely popular with the urban crust and highly appreciated in the A&B of the viewership chart, [that is being viewed by the upper and upper and educated classes] fails to be achieving the higher TRP [television viewers points]. The income of the channel, airing the qualitative programme, is well dependant upon the Advertisement revenue it receives from the Advertisers.
Thus the channel has no other go but to create a TRP planned show.
And,
Qualitative programme, gaining soaring applause, loses ground for something [I would not say, dire but rather portraying something not so laudable in this current progressive period.]
The most haunted explaination that illuminates the whole scenario, is the jarring disparity that hammers our minds, is the Social Disparity, prevailing among the different startas of the society.
The Open Market Economy, adopted by our Govt. since 1991, in Late Shri Narsimha Rao’s times, has enabled the countrymen with availability of ample of trading facilities of imported commodities and the markets flooded with foreign goods. Thus, the people adopting to usage of overseas goods and their lifestyle going for a merry-go-round.
But,
These progressive change is only envisioned in the physical appearances. Its effects have no long lasting significance to the mental make up of those living in the rural areas.
If we dwell a little deeper in the scenario, one can visibly pin point the utmost cause that is the root cause of this horrific situation.
And,
That is.. Lack of Education ..
Education that enlightens the regressive mindsets and throw away the humiliating rituals that prevents the growth of body, mind and soul.
But,
In India, due to elevated level of social disparity, where rich have in abundance and the deprived dwell for basics, such a state of affairs, is inevitable.

And now, "Destination Gujarat".. Not just for business but for tourism, too. Swarnimsiddhi-52.

Jai! Jai! Garvi Gujarat!
Jai! Jai! Garvi Gujarat!
Uttarma Amba Maat, [In the North of this pious land, lies Ambaji, thus Ma Amba is sitted.]
Purav ma Kali Maat, [In the eastern corner of the state, Pavagarh is situated with the famous temple of Ma Kalika.]
Che Dakshin Disha ma karant raksha Kunteshwar Mahadev, [The Southern direction is shielded by the presence of Kunteshwar Mahadev]
Ne Somnath ne Dwarkesh e Paschim kera Dev, [The divine temples of Somnath Mahadev and Shri Krishna are situated on the West coast.]
Che sahay ma Sakshat, [Are present eternally to guard the state of Gujarat..]
Jai! Jai! Garvi Gujarat!
The immortal presentation by the great poet of Gujarati, Shri Narmad has portrayed a depiction that is so authentic.
Gujarat..
The region full of diversity in geographical landscaping, culture, food habits, language and many more..The state comprises of the longest coast line of the country, of 1600 kilometers long, forest areas Gir and Dang, hills of Satpuda and Arvalli, desert of Kutch...
It has the ability to be a picture perfect tourist attraction.
But,
Till very recently, the Tourism prospects had not earned momentum.
Gujarat ranked at the bottom of the ladder, in drawing tourists of domestic as well as international fame.
The cause behind such a scenario was lack of organized efforts and innovative presentation of existing tourist attraction.
But,
Not any longer..
Today, Gujarat has added an additional feather in its already flooded cap of progressive achievements, by developing tourism as an industry.
The Government of Gujarat, has conquered the myth, that Gujarat was lagging behind in the field of tourism. Tourism Industry, is always propped up by the atmosphere of festivity.
And,
The energetic dynamism of the Hon. C.M. Shri Narendra Modi, has attributed immensely to explore the unidentified beauty of nature that Gujarat possesses and expand the industry to its fullest.
Gujarat...
Where life is a celebration.. as festivity is celebrated with fervor and the celebrations create tourist attraction.
The tourism department of Gujarat, has invented public celebration of popular festivals that color the hearts of the people, such as Kite Festival that is celebrated at the Sabarmati River Front, where kite flyers from all around the globe visit to participate.
The longest festival celebrated in the world, Navratri is marked with enthusiasm where dancing the famous Gujarati folk dances, Garba and Raas in colourful Ghaghra-Choli and Kedio- Dhoti has emerged as the enjoyable tourist attraction. Gujarat Govt. has created Vibrant Navratri Mahotsav, that has generated great number of visitors to the state. The Ranotsva, celebrated in Kutch during the months of December, has crafted unusual enthusiasm among the domestic as well as international travelers. It has show cased to the world, the hidden beauty of the dry deserted land of Kutch. Lakhs of tourists, visit there especially during these days, and the constant flow has aided in developing the demand for beautiful Kutch handicraft. During the month of February, on the onset of spring season, Vasantotsva is celebrated, with cultural programme at Sarita Udyan in Gandhinagar. Beach festivals are planned each year. In addition to this Grishma Mahotsva is celebrated at Saputara in Daang.
Fairs in Gujarat, depict the cultural heritage of the region and the lifestyle of the rural tribes like the Kolis, the rabaris, the bharwads, the khants, the charans and the kathis. The fair of Tarnetar is celebrated to celebrated the famous legendary marriage of Draupadi with Arjun. According to the popular belief, this was the very place where Draupadi had her Swayamvar.
In the similar manner, Bhavnath fair at the Mount Girnar on the occasion of Mahashivratri, Kartiki Purnima fair at Shamlaji in Sabarkantha district on the banks of river Meshwo, which lasts for two weeks and the adivasis [tribals] of Sabarkantha, Panchmahal, Udaipur, Dungarpur and Vansvada participate in this fair, dancing and playing on the flute with great enthusiasm. About 2,00,000 people of all communities and castes including the Garasias and Bhils visit the fair.
This portrayal of tribal heritage is valuable attraction that draws visitors and Gujarat Govt. has emphasized in the last few years, to illustrate to the world the colorful legacy.
The state Govt. has created revolving fund for the upkeep of heritage constructions like palaces and havelis constructed before 1950, for maintenance and preservation. Such monuments have created valuable position that exert a pull on visitors.
In January 2010, a seminar was held at Vadodara, on Buddhism. Thus, the unidentified heritage of Buddhist religion, that has been veiled in Gujarat, has been planned to be show cased to the world. The following places of Buddhism are to be developed in the first phase.
1.Dev ni Mori- District Sabarkantha.
2. Vadnagar- District Mehsana.
3.Khapra-Kodiya ni Gufa- District Junagarh.
4.Bava Pyara ni Gufa- District Junagarh.
5.Uparkoy caves-District Junagarh.
6.Ashok Shilalekh-District Junagarh.
7.Talaja ni Gufa-District Bhavnagar.
8.Sana ni Gufa- District Amreli.
9. Dhank Caves-District Rajkot.
10.Zinzuri tree caves-District Rajkot.
11.Khambhalida Caves-District Rajkot.
In the Republic Day celebration in current year at Delhi, the special tablo was created and demonstrated in the procession by Gujarat Govt., portraying the Buddhist heritage of Gujarat.
The state govt. of Gujarat, proposes to create tourism as one of the major economic activity that will inspire major employment option for the people of state, by 2020. Thus, the state govt. has given an industry status to the tourism. For creating all inclusive progress of this sphere, the various destinations have been separated in hubs, such as Ahmedabad city, Ahmedabad rural, Bhuj, Junagarh, Jamnagar, Vadodara, Surat etc. and Religious tourism, Adventure Tourism, Medical Tourism, Business Tourism, Beach Tourism, Eco Tourism will be developed simultaneously.
Gujarat has acquired top most position in business and industrial growth in the country. Thus, more and more business conferences as well as conventions will be held in the state.
For developing important destinations of tourist attraction, the facilities of remarkable and pothole less roads, electricity, gardening and signage as well as sitting arrangements for people at the tourist places have been planned.
Shri Amitabh Bacchan has been selected to represent the Gujarat Tourism as brand ambassador and B to B travel mart based on the pattern of Kerala tourism has been invented.
It has been a journey of just a decade..
Since Shri Narendra Modi took over the reins of the state of Gujarat.
And,
In the span of just ten years, a commitment of one person inspired the entire “Team Gujarat” to excel in each field.
And,
To establish pride around the globe, whenever the name “Gujarat” is mentioned.
Today,
My voyage rendering the achievements of a state, my very own native place, comes to an end.
But,
The lexis of progress, growth and development of Gujarat does not definitely end here.
I am aware, many achievements and sagas of development that has thrilled the very existence of Gujaratis , does not end here. Many such accomplishments are left to be told.
But,
As I had planned this expedition, exactly a year back, on the day of the Swarnim Gujarat...
Today,
On the completion of Swarnim Varsh, I enclose the Swarnimsiddhis of this great state and its dedicated Govt. with reverence.
Of course, I intend depicting to the world of more and more glittering feats that Gujarat, under the dynamic leadership of Shri Narendra Modi attains each coming day..
Coz...
Team Gujarat does not stop, does not rest, does not look back..
For them..
Aage Kadam Gujarat.
Jai Somnath!!! Jai Dwarkesh!!!
Jai Bolo Vishva na Taat ni!!!
Suvarna akshare lakhshe kavio, yashgatha Gujarat ni...
Aa Gunvanti Gujarat ni.
Vande Gujarat..
Vande Matram.
