North Indian Backlash

Nature has a wonderfully automatic system of adjusting or providing things by the generally known market law of Demand & Supply. Where there is a demand for certain thing; there will be supply for it.

If un-biased examination is carried out, results may change our perceptions about deep-rooted dogmas and beliefs. Where there is frequent disease; medical practitioners, dispensing chemists, hospitals proliferate in that area. Where there are economically affluent people; malls, health clubs and assortment of merchandise will be made available to cater to demand. Where there are many idiots living, or rather dying to kill time; there is proliferation of TV channels with utterly idiotic programs to cater to idiotic demands and to ensure perpetuation of idiocy.

By the same law, where there is rampant corruption, erosion of human values, when the situation is beyond rectification by human beings; the supreme consciousness has to come as incarnation to intervene and set the things right at higher echelons of society. But irony is, no sooner than the supreme consciousness incarnation goes away from the scene; the people of that area revert back to their original behaviour.

Again the supreme consciousness has to come as different incarnation to intervene and set the things right; and as usual, people of that area revert back to their original behaviour. This drama goes on for some time and when the supreme consciousness gets fed up with failure of all endeavors to set the people of a certain region on the path of rightness, sends some saints to teach the people in middle echelons of society. When saints also fail; then story-tellers, the Katha-wachaks are sent to impart awareness at the grass-root level of society. Presently hundreds of Katha-wachaks from a certain region are engaged in roping in of all and sundry from the society, but in vain. The basic character of a certain region, instead of getting any better, has deteriorated. It is said, 'Marz badhta gayaa; jyon jyon davaa kee', that is 'Ailment increased too, with the increase of medication'.

My dear brothers and sisters

from North India (Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhatisgarh, Uttaranchal, Madhya Pradesh) please spare some of your precious time from the wasteful activities of Politics of Politics, Politics of Education, Politics of Cinema, Politics of Cast and Creed, Politics of Language, Politics of Corruption, Politics of Ending Corruption and sundry other Politics of your specialization, and think; why you the people from the land of Great Certified Bhaiyyas Shri Ram, Shri Krishna, Mahadev Shiv, Mata Parvati, Kartikeya Swami, Pratham Vandaneeya Ganesh, Shri Hanuman, holy rivers, Ganga, Jamuna, Saraswati, Bhagwan Mahaveer, Bhagwan Buddha, great spiritual teachers like Saint Valmiki, Saint Raidas, Saint Tulsidas, Saint Surdas, Saint Kabeer, etc. has arrived at such situation when you are called 'Saala Bhaiyya log', and 'Outsiders' and treated as un-acceptable in certain region of our own country. Of course I am not referring to Kashmere, from where our own Kashmere Pundits, the original settlers, were butchered and driven out and all their properties were permanently confiscated by secular forces. We must never discuss those things for which we are impotent enough to act upon. But we can, or rather you people from assorted States of North India, certainly can discuss as to what stops you from shedding your negative attitudes and acquiring wisdom to judgment of Right and Wrong.

Why can't you spare a day, yes full one day at least, and just ponder over the nectar of wisdom, the essence of all Self-Improvement books ever written, yet free of cost, without asking payment against intellectual rights, given to us by Saint Tulsidas ji in Sunder Kand, Ram Charit Maanas :

Sumati Kumati sab ke ur rahahi, Ved Puraan asahi nit kahahi, Jahaa Sumati tah sampati nanaa, jahaa Kumati taha vipati nidhanaa.

The place I live in, is Mumbai. This is my Janma-Bhoomi and Karma-Bhoomi. I love it. But at the same time as an humble Hanuman-bhakta, (Hanuman ji is an humble bhakta of Shri Ram, a Certified Bhaiyya) it is quite painful for me to hear the derogatory terms, 'Saala Bhaiyya log', and 'Outsiders' for the people from the land of Shri Ram, Shri Krishna, Mahadev Shiv, Mata Parvati, Kartikeya Swami, Pratham Vandaneeya Ganesh, Shri Hanuman, holy rivers, Ganga, Jamuna, Saraswati, Bhagwan Mahaveer, Bhagwan Buddha, great spiritual teachers like Saint Valmiki, Saint Raidas, Saint Tulsidas, Saint Surdas, Saint Kabeer, etc.

You have all the requisites for progress and becoming self-reliant; that is Intellectual power, Man-power, Fertile land and abundence of Natural resources, including Water. Mumbai had none of these. But the industrious people, who came here, were having only just one out of your four powers; Intellectual power added with Love of Duty, as taught by Saint Kabeer.

Pothee padh padh jag muaa, Pandit bhayaa naa koy, Dhaai aakher Prem ka, padhey so Pandit hoy.

There are two things for Peace, Progress and Prosperity. One is Direction and the other is Speed. Tulsidas ji has given us 'Direction' of maintaining 'Sumati' and Saint Kabeer das ji gives us the 'Mantra' for speed. The mantra is 'Prem', that is Love. Pure and Hones Love. Kabeer das ji is not referring to physical love between male-female. This is the greatest teaching as Kabeer das ji is exhorting us to engage ourself in Prem (Love) of our work, our duties (Dharma). The one who loves own work, becomes Pandit (Master) of it. When one is 'Master' of a work, then gets respect as well as money, automatically.

But there is a catch here. Crooks, Anti-socials, Anti-Nationals also 'Love' their work (Duties) and they do more 'Honestly' and with 'Integrity' too. At that time remember Tulsi das ji's teaching about 'Sumati' and 'Kumati'. Remember that Shri Ram and Shri Krishna didn't tell 'I will be back' as is the last dialogue by departing hero in 'Terminator' movies. So please don't wait for their arrival in some new Avatar and bail you out of the rot.

If you 'Side' with people of 'Kumati' it is your choice as we all have been granted 'Free will'. But when you 'Side' with 'Sumati', then nobody will dare call you 'Bhaiyya' and will come seeking job at your door-step.

By the way, did it ever occer to you that who so ever calls you by derogatory terms like 'Saala Bhaiyya log' and treat you as 'Outsiders', should stop worshiping 'Certified Bhayyas' like, Sita-Ram, Radha-Krishna, (Kartikeya and Tirupati Balaji, both Madrasi hence outsiders), Shiva, Parvati, Ganesh, Hanuman, Lord Mahaveer of Jain Dharma, Lord Buddha of Buddha Dharma, Saint Valmiki, Saint Ravidas and many more. Besides stopping worship, the names also should be removed from all ancestors' and own names in case they have any reference to 'Bhaiyya' names!!! A person with an iota of self respect or shame would have demanded removal of all things 'Bhaiyya' from the life of 'Bhaiyya-haters'.

So, for your own sake, please revert back when you people of North India (Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhatisgarh, Uttaranchal, Madhya Pradesh) are going to heed just two of Saintly advise of Tulsi das ji and Kabeer das ji? One more stanja of Tulsi das ji to remember : Aawat hiya harse nahee, nayanan nahee saneh, Tulsi wahan na jaayiye, Kanchan barse meh.

Coming back to the heading of this essay 'Law of Demand and Supply', if your 'Intentions' and supporting 'Activities' are towards Peace, Progress and Prosperity, the 'Nature's Law' will consider it as a genuine 'Demand' there will be a natural 'Supply' of the same.

Please answer this Soul-searching question of paramount importance in yours as well as your progeny's life. Last but not the least, Moorakh ko samjhaawatey, Gyaan gaanth ko jaay, Koyalaa hovey na oojalaa, sou mann saabun khaay. Yours truely, Anand Gopal Sharma Jai Bhaiyya Shiromani Shri Ram, Jai Bhaiyya Shiromani Shri Krishna, Jai Bhaiyya Shiromani Mahaveer, Jai Bhaiyya Shiromani Buddha
