I am not an admirer of Akhilesh Yadav

One of my senior colleagues asked whether I  am an admirer of Akhilesh Yadav.  Absolutely no. Never I can. why should I   be a fan of politicians? I am not a seasoned politician. I never fought elections.I am a full time journalist and it is my proffession.  I use to observe politics. It is my passion to watch political developments.    I use to support and encourage new generation. because it is need of the hour. young generation with political clarity must emerge.Akhilesh Yadav is now elevated to the throne of UP CM. Hence I tweeted

 ' you are  elevated not only  to a particular position. But ur the successor of the Socialist Movement of India. Hence Your responsibility is very high.`

 Does it mean that I am an admirer of Akhilesh? What is wrong in it. why should we underestimate a person whom we don't know. Why should we curse him on his victory? Of course I am curious to observe his performance. Of course I am disturbed and disappointed about his cabinet colleagues.The   presence of Ambanis in the swearing ceremony again disappointed me. But let us wait and see how he performs. If he go wrong every one has the right to criticise. I will be in the forefront to do that.

But we should not under estimate persons. In UP He has a thumping victory. It is a peoples verdict. It is a people's mandate. We all must respect it. because I am sure If I had contested there with my ideological monopoly I could not  gather even 1000 votes. It is a reality. Peoples' mandate is more than every thing. If I failed to gather people's support it is my duty to accept and analyse my failure. Why blame others?

Mrs.Thacher the Saviour of European Economy

CRISIS OF MODERN CIVILISATION
BY
P.V.KURIAN

The British people as a whole are carried not by idealism but by pragmatism. The Labour Government brought many fundamental changes in the economy and they were on the whole in the right direction. But unfortunately the Trade Unions began to function as a heavy stone around the neck of the Labour Government and dictated terms to the Government. The British People enmasse resented this arrogance of the Trade unions. Trade Unions started endless strikes which which shattered Britain's economy. The labour Government lacked managerial efficiency. The traditional conservative British People preferred efficiency in management of  the Governmental affairs to policies and and voted for Mrs. Thacher and Tories.
Mrs. Thacher, the iron woman was an able administrator. She put a stop to the drifting of affairs. The economy showed some sign  sign of improvement. One may be surprised to know that Mrs. Thacher is looked upon by the British People as a great revolutionary. Mr. Winston churchill saved Britain from Nazis and Hitler. Mrs. Thacher saved Britain from economic chaos and collapse. The trend in Britain  for managerial efficiency in economy reminds one of the weimer Republics, the economic collapse of the post war Germany in the thirties  which led to the rise  of the Nazis and Hitler as the  saviour of German economy. In Italy also economic chaos  led to the rise of the Facism and Musolini who promised the Italian people the glory of the Roman empire. Economic  collapse led to the failure of  Liberals and Socialists in the Europe since European Socialists were mostly concerned  with distribution  of National Wealth than stepping up of production and giving new dimensions to socialist thought and action.

Socialist Unity again

Akhilesh Yadav is now the CM of UP. He is elevated not only to   the throne of UP CM alone. Now he is considered as the successor of the historic Socialist movement of India lead by great leaders like Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia and Jayaprakas Narayanan. may this responsibilty lead and strengthen  his thought and actions. He along with  SP has a great role to play in the arena of indian politics . Being the major Socialist group in India it is their responsibility to initiate the process of unity. A  total unity is not an  easy task .but this is the right time for such initiations.
Hence the relevant questions before the socialist leaders are

1.If  they could sit together to form a separate Socialist  block in the parliament?

2,Parties like  SP, RJD, JDU, BijuJanathadal, Janathadal (secular) come together to build a common platform?.
3.Will they  think of a Socialist confederation?

If they could do this it will be a historic move in indian politics.but It is not an easy task,  because these  leaders are victims of past and they still  haunt by it. But history is not    the story of continuous  war and mutual  hatred.      It is also  the story of tolerance,  patience and mutual trust for a greater common good. whether this leaders learn from past experience?

GREAT BRITAIN TODAY

CRISIS OF MODERN CIVILISATION
BY


P.V. KURIAN

European intellectuals, scientists, humanists,liberals, socialists and communists under the false belief that the present West European civilisation is the be-end and the be-all of human progress and that its science, technology and liberalism are the panacea for the ills of mankind and will eradicate the poverty of Asia and Africa and Latin America. But it is the other way.

The present day rich Euro-America and the poverty stricken  Asia and Africa cannot coexist together on the surface of the earth for very long. The poverty of Asia and Africa will hamper the progress of Euro-America and will in turn result in the breaking up of their dominance, standard of life and civilisation. The development in Soviet Russia are  only the precursor to the decline and fall of present day civilisation, its technology and science, in the rest of Europe and America.The picture which Mr. David Day gave of the present conditions in Great Britain and West Europe is dismal.

Great Britain is no more an industrial Nation. She has very few manufacturing industries. Major section of the populace are employed in service industries like Railways, Airways , Telecommunications, Banking, Insurance etc. The employees in these industries which form the bulk of the labour do not like themselves to be called working class. They detest the very word 'working class` and like to be called middle class. Most of the industries nationalised by Labour Government  have been de-nationalised by the Tories.

British Manipulation of political chaos

CRISIS OF THE MODERN CIVILISATION
by
P.V.KRYAN

CHAPTER- 5

Four hundred years ago during the reign of Jahangir, Sir Thomas  Ray, an emissary of James1, king of England came to Delhi for an audience with Padusha. He had to wait for an year and more before the gates of the palace, to get permission for an audience with Padusha. The British were allowed to establish a trading outlet at Surat. In Jahangir's time India was the richest country in the world. But the era of the Great Mughals came to an end. The East India Company cleverly manipulated the political chaos subsequently to the disintegration of the Mughal    Empire and became the legal successors of the Great Mughals. During their two hundred years of  occupation India was systematically bled white and from the pinnacle of prosperity she was thrown in to the deepest abyss of poverty and misery. This is the tragic epitome of modern West European Civilisation - the enrichment of the West and the pauperisation of the whole of Asia and Africa.

Bertrand Russel and World Government

Crisis of Modern Civilisation
by
P.V. Kuryan


CHAPTER 4

Russel is the apostle of western democracy. Like all other Europeans, Russel also  believed in the messianic mission of west Europe to civilise the rest of mankind. He stood for a world government. But his concept of world government was rather distorted. He thought that whiteman will sooner or latter exercise hegemony over all mankind and the whitemans' western liberal traditions will slowly permete the whole human race and ultimately mankind will be united under the liberalism and hegemony of whiteman. Russel thought  President Franklin De Roosvelt as the architect of the new World order and his methods would ultimately usher in a world of prosperity and plenty and democratic liberal values. Like Albert Einstein, Bertrand Russel also never anticipated the events which followed his death, the collapse of Communist Russia, the disintegration of the Soviet empire, the increasing poverty and pauperisation of the people of Asia, Africa and Latin America and the crisis of his own Euro America.

Einstein and Bertrand Russel

Crisis of the Modern Civilisation
by P.V. Kuryan


Chapter 3


Albert Einstein and the great physicists of our   time have arrived at the conclusion from their researches and studies that the universe is 10,000 million years, the solar system 5,000 million years, and the life on the earth 3,000 million years old. Human civilisation is only 7000 years old. Einstein feared that this civilisation with all its achievements during the last 7000 years,its priceless monuments, works in art and architecture, cites and plains, its greatest centres of culture and learning its factories and more than all its young children beaming with smiles on their faces, its young men and women with throbbing hearts, its men and women with hopes and dreams will perish in a fraction of minute with nobody to survive and mourn the tragic catastrophe. The ruins of Nineh, Jerusalem, Babylon, Athens, Carthage, Baghdad, the Old Kingdom of Egypt, Harappa, Mohanja daro, Ayodya, Patalipthra, Ujjain Madura and the ruins of bygone ages passed in quick succession through my mind. Is this the ultimate destiny which awaits mankind?

Bertrand Russel was more optimistic than Einstein. He pinned his hopes in America, the leader of the later capitalism and democracy. He believed that America with all its  vat resources and immense military strength will be able  to check and keep in abeyance the rising tide of Soviet Communism and will reinvigorate West European  democracies with projects like Marshal Aid  and liberal help. He hoped  that Soviet Communism also will ultimately lose its fanaticism, and blood thirstiness and reason will prevail and communism will liberalise itself once it becomes  aware that its dreams of world conquest will never fructify.

HISTORY OF TIME

CRISIS OF MODERN CIVILISATION
by P.V. KURYAN
CHAPTER 2

HISTORY OF TIME


I have  been reading 'History of Time` by the greatest physicist Stephen.W. Hawking who has baffled death all these years and continues his researches sitting and moving in a wheel chair, Bal Gangadhar Tilak's ' Antiquity of Vedas', published in 1895. a books about Buddist concept of minds and Bertrand Russel's book `New Hopes for a changing world.' Vedas, nuclear physics, the mind of man and a new world appear to be a strange combination. Is there a cord binding all these apparently  contradictory studies, is it not the cord that unites man with Universe and Eternity. Einstein was sad about the bringing up of the nuclear bomb for which he persuaded Mr. Franklin De Roosevelt so that Nazi Germany may not use it first to defeat and smashed western democracies and the West European civilisation. Albert Einstein was pessimistic about the future of the world. He feared that the present civilisation and man kind will perish out of thermo-nuclear war between the western Europe and Communist Russia and the fear haunted 
Einstein till his death. He felt guilty in the innermost depths of his soul for the tragedy that was awaiting mans's destiny and the crucial role he had played in it. It may seem the division of the world in to Communism and Capitalism as a pareniel feature and Communism as  poisonous dragon enveloping and engulfing the whole human society.
