Naya Daur

I
Koi hamse milne aaya hai
Naye khwab dikhane aaya hai
Naye wa’de aur da’we lekar
Koi neta gali men aaya hai

Mzdooron ko kaam milega
Insaaf milega mazloomon ko
Daulat ki ab baarish hogi
Gharibi ka naam na hoga
Aman chain ka aalam hoga
Sarhad bhi mahfooz rahega
Dahshatgard ko takkar dene
Ek saahab aisa aayega
Asmaan ki bulandi par
Is desh ko phir pahunchaayega
Aise hi sab wa’de lekar
Koi neta gali mein aayaa hai

  

II

Zalim aaya zulm mitane
Qatil munsif bankar aayaa
Aam aadmi ka sahara lekar
Ameeron ki hukoomat aaii
Rahzan aaya rahbar bankar
Fitna naye purane laaya
Qaid se baahar mulzim aaya 
Qaaed ban aiwaan mein aaya
Mujrim kuchh is shaan se aaye
Be khatar be khauf se aaye
Darbaare watan mein jo pahle aaye
Kuchh Shaah aur saahab aaye

India is an economic bright spot and one of the fastest growing economies in the world. India is also one of the most unequal economies. One third of world's poor live in India. It produces talents who can compete head to head with the talents anywhere in the world. At the same time Indian schools and colleges produce graduates who are unemployable due to poor quality of education. India is attracting people from far away countries for health care at the same time Indians in large number do not get basic health care facility. The expensive health care is single major factor which pushes people down the poverty line. Indian villages especially villages beyond 5 KM of district head quarters lack basic infrastructure very badly. The public schooling system has improved but the quality of education remains a challenge. These contradictions make India a land of paradoxes. Anirudh Krishna, in his book ‘The Broken Ladder’ diagnoses the causes and effects of economic dispari

Book Review - India's wars

Warfare is as old as human civilization so is its history. Indian subcontinent has been witness to bloody conflict and clashes since ages. Epics such as Mahabharata, Ramayana, Alha- Udhal are masterpieces of South Asia's age old tradition of rendering and preserving conflicts in different literary and art forms. India inherited thorny issues left behind by colonial masters at the time of partition which led to altercation and conflict with neighbors. These issues are still pestering making understanding of military history an essential part of statecraft. India can ill afford to ignore the history of conflict in this part of the world. Still t here are few good books on this topic worth visiting. The academics have largely ignored this important area whereas one comes across account of military conflict in memoirs of politicians or retired soldiers. There is dearth of well researched accounts on military history of India. This gap has been filled by  Arjun S
