politics behind tele-serials


NOWADAYS,our families became more spiritual. Thanks to the tele-serials for showing the stories of Lord Krishna(Sree m Maha Bhagavatham) and Devee Mookambika. In the past Kerala was famous for its rational thinking and reform movements(I'm not nostalgic about lost values). Now these progressivemovements lost its importance and in that place we have fake swamis.Through the medias we are witnessing different kinds of programmes .This influenced the people very much. Another reason for the " spiritual awakening " is that in the modern industrial world we are too busy and sought comfort in these religious activities.
I am not going to say that spirituality is bad or it is a threat.My point is that our attitudes are changed. This changing conditions were exploited by the medias, political parties, fake sanyasins.For example all the religious stories are being misinterpreted by the media. They neglect the internal beauty of the Puranas and gives us only the surface meaning of it. The result is that people became misguided by these stories . These tele-serials are not innocent as we think. They have some agenda behind it; they were promoting religious fundamentalism,knowingly or unknowingly. The fascist agendas should not be promoted by the secular medias.

judicial activism [judicio-CRAZY]


The judicial system in India is praised by all for its independent and impartial status.The common man and the elite ,both feared and at the same time respected the courts. The only complaint was that of its delay.But nowadays,some serious criticisms were raised against our judges and of their conducts.Judiciary in India enjoys wide range of powers.No one can question the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court because they will have to pay for Contempt of Court.Supreme Court is viewed as the watch dog and guardian of the Constitution.But nowadays they consider themselves as unquestioned authority.The democracies like India considered the three organs of govt[executive,legislature and judiciary]as equal powers.But now through several judgements the Supreme Court tries to outshine the Parliament.They held the view that the Right to Information Act is not applicable to them by neglecting the basic idea called"equality before the law"is the dictum in India.
One of the serious problem is related to the appointment of judges in different courts.The Constitution says that the judges of the Supreme Court are appointed by the President in-consultation with the Chief Justice of India.But now in the appointment of the judges President has no roll except to put signature on the recommended lists given by the Supreme Court "Collegium".This anti-constitutional activities were done by the guardians of the Constitution,this is the irony.
