Indian economy is in a crisis

As you are all aware India like many other Asian countries, India is undergoing a severe economic crunch. Many Indian industries are closing down. the Indian economy is in a crisis and if we do not take proper steps to control those, we will be in a critical situation. More than 30000 crore rupees of foreign exchange is being siphoned out of our country on products such as cosmetics, snacks, tea, beverages...etc which are grown, produced and consumed here.

A cold drink that costs only 70/80 paise to produce is sold for Rs 10, and a major chunk of profits from these is sent abroad. This is a serious drain on Indian economy.

Did you know that "Coca Cola" and "Sprite" belong to the same multinational company,"Coca Cola"? ..On one hand coke advertisements say that 'Jo chaho hojaye, cocacola enjoy' (i.e. whatever the hell, let it happen, you drink coke) ; and on the other hand, Sprite says that 'Bhujao only pyas, baki all bakwas' (i.e. drinks can just quench thirst all other claims are false).What can you do? You can consider some of the better alternatives to aerated drinks.


You can drink lemon juice, fresh fruit juices, chilled lassi (sweet or sour), butter milk, coconut water, jaljeera, enerjee, masala milk..........

Everyone deserves a healthy drink, including you! Over and above all this, economic sanctions have been imposed on us. We have nothing against Multinational companies,but to protect our own interests we request everybody to use Indian products only for next two years. With the rise in petrol prices, if we do not do this, the rupee will devalue further and we will end up paying much more for the same products in the near future. What you can do about it.

1. Buy only products manufactured by Indian companies.

2. ENROLL as many people as possible for this cause.


Each individual should become a leader for this awareness. This is the only way to save our country from severe economic crisis.You don't need to give up your lifestyle. You just need to choose an alternate product.

CLOTHES


Do you know that the cotton is produced in the Indian villages, threads are produced in the Indian towns, dresses are stitched in Indian cities and clothes are purchased by Indian customers. But it is branded as manufactured by a multinational company for which we LOSE precious foreign exchange.


THE money is going to some developed countries. It is TRUE. Please go to the remote areas of cities and see yourself the truth .Thousands of poor innocent Indians are working as tailors for stitching the worlds popular ready made clothes . But they are paid a poor .This is happening because of our ignorance. INDIA is one of the major textile exporter in the world . Our tailors are famous in countries like united states and united kingdom. Then why should we blindly give in to the attraction of foreign brands? PLEASE think about it.

Every Indian product you buy makes a big difference. It saves INDIA. Let us take a firm decision today.

BUY INDIAN TO BE INDIAN

we are not against foreign products.WE are not anti-multinational companies. We are trying to save our Nation. EVERY DAY IS A STRUGGLE FOR A REAL FREEDOM . ..

We achieved our independence after losing many lives.They died painfully to ensure that we live peacefully.The current trend is very threatening . Multinationals call it globalization in India. For Indians like you and me it is recolonization of India. The colonists left india then.But this time time they will make sure they don't make mistakes.who would like to let a "GOOSE THAT LAYS GOLDEN EGGS" slip away


Political freedom is useless without economic independence. Russia , S.korea, Mexico........The list is very long ! Let us learn from their experience and from our history. Let us do the duty of every true nationalist.

Its obvious that u cant give up all of the items mentioned above,so give up at least small items for the sake of our country,our motherland India.


Hindus and Sikhs are Brothers of the Same Family




Sikhs and Hindus are not separate. Guru Govind Singhji brought in Gurumukhi the wisdom and philosophy from our scriptures and Puranas. Are we going to give up this heritage?"
- Master Tara Singh at a meeting in Mumbai on 19th August, 1964

Sikhism and Hinduism are considered as separate religions today. A closer look at the origin of Sikhism shows that Guru Nanak Dev, the founder of Sikhism, had started a reformatory movement. He despised the evils that had crept into Hinduism like the worship of many deities, caste system, fasts, pilgrimage and preached that God is one, eternal and transcends time - the original teachings of the Vedanta. He did not denounce the holy Hindu scriptures but despised their being read without understanding their meaning. Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth and the last Guru, criticised the Hindu dictum of "ahimsa paramo dharma" and was inspired by the Puranas and the Bhagwad Geeta wherein the lord sends saviour whenever there is oppression and injustice. He founded the Khalsa to protect the Hindus from the Muslim tyranny and oppression. Thus the Sikh gurus tried to revive the original spirit and teachings of Hinduism and tried to build a society which was moral, virtuous and strong.

The basis of the tradition established by Shri Guru Nanak Dev is the Sanatana Dharma. The Guru had preached the message of Sanatana Dharma in the language of the masses, in order to raise the flagging spirits of Hindu society in a Punjab relentlessly overrun by Muslim invaders. The nectar-laden words of the nine Gurus who followed were also expressions of Sanatana Dharma. Every verse of the Shri Guru Granth Saheb is testimony to this fact.

Here are some stanzas from the Gurus and the Guru Granth Saheb in which the Hindu-Sikh affinity is evident :

Taha hum adhik tapasya sadhi Mahakal kalika aradhi
- Guru Govind Singh ji
(There I worshipped and did penance to seek Kali.)


Ram katha jug jug atal
Sab koi bhakhat net Suragbas Raghuver kara
Sagri puri samet Jo en Katha sune aur gaave
Dukh pap tah nikat na aave

- Guru Govind Singh ji

(The story of Ram is immortal and everyone should read it. Ram went to heaven along with the whole city. Whoever listens to or sings His story, will be free of sin and sorrow.)

Kahaiya Hinduan daro na ab tum
Im likho pathon dil sain Guru Nanak ki gadi par
Ab hain Tegh Bahadur Unko jo Muhummadi kar lihoon
To ham hain sab sadar Arya Dharma rakhak pragatiyo hain

- Guru Tegh Bahadur

(Hindus, do not fear, Guru Tegh Bahadur is Guru Nanak's successor. If Muslims bother you, I'll take care of them. For I am the protector of Hinduism.)



Tin te sun Siri Tegh Bahadur
Dharam nibaahan bikhe Bahadur Uttar bhaniyo, dharam hum Hindu
Atipriya ko kin karen nikandu Lok parlok ubhaya sukhani
Aan napahant yahi samani Mat mileen murakh mat loi
Ise tayage pramar soi Hindu dharam rakhe jag mahin
Tumre kare bin se it nahin

- Guru Tegh Bahadur's reply to Aurangzeb's ordering him to embrace Islam.

(In response, Shri Tegh Bahadur says, My religion is Hindu and how can I abandon what is so dear to me? This religion helps you in this world and that, and only a fool would abandon it. God himself is the protector of this religion and no one can destroy it.)


Sakal jagat main Khalsa Panth gaje
Jage dharam Hindu sakal bhand bhaje

- Guru Govind Singh Ji

(The Khalsa sect will roar around the world. Hinduism will awaken, its enemies will flee.)


In his autobiography Bachitra Natak, Shri Guru Govind Singh Dev has claimed that he was a descendant of Lord Rama's younger son Lava, and that Guru Nanak Dev was a descendant of Lord Rama's elder son Kusha (2/18-34, 2/52, 4/1-10 and 5/1-10). This statement is confirmed in several other authentic source-books of Sikhism.

Many Sikh intellectuals, including Dr. Gopal Singh and Khushwant Singh have been expressing their views that Sikhism and Islam are close to each other and have much in common while the teachings of the Guru Granth Sahib indicate that the two religions are not only different but opposite.

The Guru Granth Sahib Ji has 1430 pages, out of which the mention of Islam in some context or the other is found from page number 24 to page number 1412. The hymns of the Guru Granth Saheb which mention Islam may be divided into four categories - First, in which the atrocities committed by Babar and other Muslim rulers have been described; Second, in which an effort has been made to see the various Islamic practices such as Namaz, Roza, Haj, Halaal, etc. in the light of Vedanta; Third, in which Islam has been criticised and all have been advised to remain Hindus; and Fourth, in which Islamic concepts and beliefs have been directly or indirectly criticised.

Those who think of Sikhism as a synthesis between Hinduism and Islam will probably be shocked to find Guru Nanak ji Himself claiming that the Kali Yuga was ushered in into India with the advent of Islam, in the poem "Makke-Madine di Goshti . In the same poem, the Guru Ji refers to the Sufis Moinuddin Chishti (of Ajmer) and Shah Madar (of Makanpur) as imposters who were leading Hindus astray with the intention of converting them.

Hindus and Sikhs are brothers of the same family. Clashes between the two would mean clashes within the family. Sikhs are the brothers of the family who took upon themselves the responsibility to protect the family. The other members of the family must show respect to these soldiers for the services rendered by them to the family. We cannot forget their contribution to India's freedom movement; nor can we forget that they were worst hit by the partition of our country in 1947 when it was their homeland Punjab which was torn apart and thousands of Sikhs were killed and many more uprooted from the land of their fore-fathers. But they chose to remain with India and the Hindus. Both the communities inter-dine, inter-marry, observe the same festivals and visit each other's places of worship. Differences between these communities are created by the politicians to meet their selfish purposes. Let us not allow the players of the power game to create a rift in our family.

- Louis Jacolliot (1837-1890)
