Clarity on Reality

By Padmini Arhant

Hello Everyone,

How are you all doing? 

I would like to clarify for the record that as author and presenter on the website padminiarhant.com and representative divine mission statements from me in publications are not fabricated and exaggerated or full details withheld as claimed by my ardent critics to defend their indefensible system with rules and regulations not necessarily applied across the spectrum.

The reaction from them is least surprising to me and symptomatic of thy reflection on actions with deliberate omission and selection of material in public domain.

When I cite incidents like the one mentioned in my recent article with a segment on Travel about the tan, brown and darker traveler frisked and questioned more often was stated not out of imagination.  In fact, this has been a routine experience for my family including myself during travel despite following rules to the code.

When anybody dismiss or discount others experience in life related to any form of prejudice not limited to race and gender simply because they have not had any such incidents to account for, they either represent those involved or consider the treatment objectionable only when it happens to them or someone known to them. 

Accordingly, the selective profiling that targets specific segments in society not regarded an issue with victims of bias expected to tolerate and accept the discriminatory practice as the way of life.

The belief premised strictly on personal encounter in any situation otherwise slighted whether serious illness or disability not barring violation of individual rights fits the definition of narcissism.

Injustice like everything else nowadays is categorized as inappropriate depending on the individual at the receiving end.

Society is constantly misled with propaganda having become the means for survival to sustain the unsustainable tradition.

As for my introduction, the political figures reference to me that I am not speaking in first person is nothing more than them confirming the flip flop position typical in politics. In my earlier days when I started with self-identity in the normal sense, I had to deal with clamor to refrain from using the terms I, me, or myself.

Now they seem to have a problem with me not having said so and speaking as a third person characterizing the manner arrogant even though initially suggested by them and customized with creation of proxies and many thousand different names and unsavory characters not barring personalities associated with notoriety  nuanced at me. The unconventional and unprecedented distortion in an attempt to invalidate my existence and identity exemplify desperate tactic.

Evidently the convenient memory loss in politics seesawing on various issues is due to confusion and false perception about the policy and strategy proved counterproductive further exacerbated with the state of denial.

Democracy is bargained for exclusivity in retaining power and prosperity at the expense of vast majority.

Once again – My Profile. I am who I am and remain so irrespective of any opinion otherwise.

Name – Padmini Achintya Arhant.

Gender – Female, Religion – Hindu.

Representation – Divine Mission.

Philosophy – Peace, Pious and Progress possible with secular, fair and equal opportunity for all humanity.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Rhapsody on Parody Part II

By Padmini Arhant

In my earlier segment I briefed on Parody.

The resistance to change to status quo is experimented with viral attacks on the public medium using all outlets at their disposal like movie, television and talk shows…anything and everything in print, visual and audio media through parody resulting in self-caricature.

The political theater is run at taxpayers’ expense with political opportunists wasting citizens’ money on theatrical charade.

Those who indulge in indignation of others in disagreement to any constructive proposals are obstructionists to progress. The operatives involved in different capacity are instrumental in this process. The inability to deal with reality arouse irrational thoughts and insipid performance from them.

Additionally, the customary tactics are also deployed with blatant threats such as reference to second amendment in the United States Bill of Rights once again revealing the real intent to keep constitution and the Bill of Rights as play book subverting the code and purpose.

There could be no denying that politics is dirty, ugly and downright brutal exemplified long ago going back to Roman days by Brutus and hence the term brutal in vernacular. The political players preach and practice violence. Corruption is the acceptable culture fostering criminality with no accountability.

Politics is the art of deception in superficial setting with courtesy and pleasantry displayed to beguile audience besides promises to move voters to the polls and the rest is history.

The saboteurs of change maintain the tradition to disparage and demonize entity committed towards development and peaceful existence benefitting all not the selective few represented in the establishment.

The trend is assassination and elimination of peace makers and peaceful resolutions to world problems.  War and mechanisms facilitating warfare such as terrorism in the present time is the preference among these forces unwilling to relent to peace and freedom.

These anti-humanity and anti-environment crusaders exist only for now sparing no thoughts about future. They believe in arming the world notwithstanding nuclear proliferation amongst key nuclear powers amid saber rattling on territorial disputes to establish supremacy.

The world has never been more dangerous than before with free access to weapons that includes nuclear components attributed to irresponsible politics and failed policy in the hope of end justifying the means that describes the prevalent mindset.

Money and ammunitions in human possession has weakened them undermining basic elements and values contrary to the belief that wealth and weapons means empowerment. Despite nuclear status and massive control on lives and livelihoods, they are insecure and fearful.

The hunger for power is intensified with fraudulent practice evident in elections that legitimize illegitimacy and unscrupulousness leading the way.

Could there be dawn to dispel darkness?

Never a time anything destructive could prolong with repeat failures and fractured system.

Thank you.

Rhapsody – Parody

 

By Padmini Arahnt

Hi Everyone!

Hope all is well!

Today I want to shed light on parody.  I’m not sure if you have noticed the trend in parody targeting anything that is sensible, responsible and sane to say the least characterized as crazy talk.  

What does parody mean? – mockery, caricature, spoof, satire, misrepresentation and perversion…among many synonyms intended to reverse the targeted entity’s action, manner and anything about them that are considered a threat to those resisting any change to status quo no matter how demonstrably destructive the conditions are only favoring the resistance brigades’ self-interest.

Accordingly, you witness the wannabees performing the act for those hiring them to do regardless of these paid performers indulgence in self-deprecation. This goes to prove the power of money and greed inhibiting reasoning faculty not to mention their diminutive character on surface.

The clown act by these desperate attention seekers is nothing more than a distraction from the revelations about them and those paying them to keep the smoke screen intact.

Perhaps these puppets leaping from Indian film industry to American movie  and television medium imply in their performance – Monkey see, Monkey do.

I already know the reaction on the idiom with reference to a monkey.

Hey! Relax.  I have not said anything out of context. I have only linked them to Homosapien’s ancestry.

As for plagiarism, piracy and copyright violations that are the current norm, I say to them – piggybacking on others is resignation to self-ineptness and idiosyncrasy.

I will be back soon more on this and other topics for mass awakening to reality.

Thank you.

Rhapsody

Rhapsody – Interaction on events in Life.  Author & Presenter Padmini Arhant

By Padmini Arhant

Hi Everybody!

I am here to interact with you and talk about some events in daily life.

1. What is common between the Priest, Prince and Prime Minister or President?

All three have illusions about their respective position. All three forget they are paid by the people to serve them.

The priest thinks he serves God so he is the one close to God and keeps worshippers at bay.

The Prince on the other hand considers him the legal heir to throne and expects people to be bystanders with flowers, waving and cheering as he rides in the modern day chariot.

Now the President or Prime Minister on their part flanked with heavy security to guard their life and diverse personnel aiding the head of the state in the job keep the public on check with zero tolerance to legitimate concerns on the state of affairs. Dare you raise any issues with the political entity for you have to deal with the contingency on payroll unleashed to attack and launch smear campaign against truth seeker. All outlets at their disposal are used which is pretty much everything under their control. So much for democracy.

One could argue the reason behind this heavily guarded protection curbing independent investigative journalism, (in this respect I mean the real ones and not the fake as this field also infiltrated and fraternized to cover the base by them) – they expect citizenry to respect the office whether as the President or Prime Minister and any other hierarchy that are there.

Isn’t it also incumbent upon the office bearers not to indulge in activities or authorize actions that violate public trust and tarnish the position they hold as representative of the people and the nation at large?

But again those who are selected under the guise of being elected – Do they truly fulfill their duty and responsibility abiding by the oath to serve the people and the nation with honesty and integrity? I suppose this is the privilege that comes with the designation as package deal – immunity on violation of the office they preside with pride and prejudice.

2. You would have heard about the untouchables.

Well I have been classified as one i.e. the untouchable based on presumed low caste family that I was unaware up until now. I have been conferred with this extraordinary title after over a half century of my life. Had I known that I am indeed the DALIT I am referred to time and time again in Indian politics, media and entertainment industry representing the society, I would have claimed the concessions that are granted in condescendence in Indian caste system under quota, the classifications serving the political class as vote bank.

In my view the real untouchables are not those viewed in Indian society – the DALITS and so on.  Gandhi – The genuine Gandhi i.e. Mahatma Gandhi attributed the reference HARI JAN meaning children of God to DALITS and anyone conveniently placed in the lowest structure by the self-proclaimed upper class ignoring the lowest ebb in human values in thyself.

I have the pleasure in introducing the real untouchables that fit the description and profile.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present the VVIP, VIPs and Special members in society. They are the wealthy as  Political figures, Industrialists, Celebrities, Sports stars, socialites, media magnates notwithstanding religious gurus with their share of fame and fortune in public domain.

They are untouchables in many ways – when they make public appearance.  When they are from the film industry then say no more. The public hysteria is only limited to screaming and expressing their undying love

in endearing terms like I love you. You are our hero and so on.  Never mind the duplicates shunted out of the camera despite them being the real hero doing stunt scenes and dare devil acts in the movie.

This hype is commonly witnessed with audience trying to get a glimpse of these individuals in public arena who maintain a fair distance from the people viz. the electorate, fans and followers as the case might be.

The other feature that makes these VIPs exceptional is no matter what crimes they are involved in ranging from corruption, tax evasion, embezzlement, misuse of power and stardom not barring murder and could extend into genocide as well, they remain untouchable. The arms of justice that could reach any ordinary citizen regardless of remoteness somehow become incapacitated with the VVIP and VIPs crimes and criminal escapades.

That goes for these VVIP, VIPs and exclusive club members exemption from parody that is otherwise loosely targeted against anyone regarded a fair game by them.

Folks this is the reality on untouchability.

3. Let me dispel the myth on those claiming to know how my thought process works with some holding the conviction this is all the mysterious force action playing ventriloquist and that is how it is all happening.

While others summarize my answers or anything presented for public view as – she is reflecting on the incidents in life that provides clues and coming up with wild guesses somewhat like solving the riddle.

Remember – Slum Dog Millionaire! They have the entertainment industry to provide fodder and form the opinion as such.

The view is based on own conduct in their search for solutions to problems either general or specific.

The belief that people whom they do not approve will always be average or below average never reaching the heights reserved only for their kind and creed in society is the impediment in their progress in life.

At the same time, when there is a pause in delivery, somehow I am the scapegoat and become the pi·ña·ta not to mention the free material for directors and producers starved to boost their luck and profitability in the competitive movie and television industry.

I truly admire these geniuses who can invade my mind and draw conclusions that fit their mindset.

To them I pose this question, if you all think you can figure out exactly how my mind works and what is behind these activities, you are then posturing yourselves to be God – the all Knowing.

Then how come you intelligent savants not able to penetrate the terrorists’ minds continuously plotting terror  with successful outcomes affecting innocent people as casualty in their violent actions?

With this gift in your possession to read my mind, you should be able to resolve any unsolved mysteries in the world.

I ask them – Is your mind only switched on to track my existence and activity and not those connected to you with your direct involvement such as terrorism, corruption and nefarious dealings?

And

Are you pre-occupied evaluating me and my ability or the lack thereof rather than soul searching in you?

Whatever the dilemma, lifetime is best not wasted in mindless games exacerbating karmic effects with the burden weighing down the prospects for better future.

———————————————————–

4. The other aspect is the predisposition that the office of Presidency or Prime Minister and other ranks in politics is not meant for actors but serious players in this field.

I would like to know since when this transformation occurred?  What I have seen thus far is politics and entertainment acting in particular are interchangeable. The members in politics as actors and vice versa. On many occasions the transverse is yet another dynamic in politics.

The trend is highly popular in attracting the crowd for the right or wrong reasons.

—————————————————————-

On the lighter note, there are incidents that are amusing at times to say the least making you wonder on human psychology.

5. Signs could be meaningless and misinterpreted to suit individual preference.

I went to the Hindu temple being a Hindu and offered flowers to the deity where the signs indicated to leave them. The Priest sitting near the shrine called out to me – Hello, Hello and beckoned me.  You have to see me first and public can only remain at a distance. The irony is the Priest was sitting right next to the sign in bold letters that read –

See God in you and others. 

Obviously the Priest regarded him God and slighted the other part – God in others.

6. Likewise – where you see the sign – Do not Litter. Fine up to $1000. This is grossly misunderstood by the litterers for they assume the word litter applies to animals like dogs when they have litters or puppies and humans need not bother. As for the fine they probably think it is fine i.e. Okay with the City Council if litterers left trash as long as it does not exceed more than $1000.

7. Travel – I’m sure many of you travel somewhere or other. Not a hassle when you are flying in your private jets or official carrier that accompanies high profile jobs in the career.

The focus is on the ordinary people traveling on commercial airlines.

When you have to board the flight to go places that in itself is an ordeal. I mean the preparation beginning with packing – what you cannot take with you is what you need to consider than items you require and want to have them in your hand carry or check in luggage.

First of all, the luggage has to comply with specific dimensions or you would have to either send away the suitcase or other bags with your relatives or friends who come to see you off at the airport. Alternatively, you are at the airport by yourself then you may have to either donate to airport authority or consider buying the correct size luggage provided you are lucky to find one over there and transfer your items.

Upon arrival at the airport – The line is usually more than a mile or two and takes you sometime to figure out the end and if you happen to join the line where you think it ends you might even get an irate passenger appearing suddenly to let you know that you are cutting the line making everyone from far and near you instantly disapprove your behavior. Now you will have to go all the way back with your luggage to gain your place in line. Then expect the unexpected delays and disruptions even before you get to the check in counter.

After you feel that you have prevailed in offloading the luggage and freely walking away with your small carry-on items, you are confronted with security line.

Get ready for security scrutiny.  Remember all travelers are presumed potential terrorist.  Thanks to terrorists and those in control of global security.  Travelers have no choice but to grin and bear it.

The worst aspect is your skin color also matter. No kidding. The tan, brown and darker you are the more intense is the assessment. People in this group often have to remove their clothes and allow themselves to be screened via body scanner and invasive process. If you are a woman, then the woman body examiner exercises excess liberty to grope you with the hope of finding something to make her job worthwhile.

What a disappointment when she utterly fails in this mission?

Now welcome to the fun part in this journey.

Here comes the security questions – The security agent or officer and passenger dialogue

Q.  Did you pack all the items in your bags yourself?

A.  Yes.

In passenger’s mind the question arise – Why would I want to hire somebody to do this for me?

Don’t ever get into thinking loud mode, then you might invite more trouble your way.

Q. Are you carrying any weapons, knife, explosives, hazardous chemicals, and inflammable items with you?

A. Absolutely not.

Q. What about laptop, devices with batteries any of them in your bag?

A. Here is my laptop. As for the batteries – I remove them right now even if that means I cannot use any device on the flight.

Q. Are you carrying any water bottle with you?

A. I purchased it right here at the airport as I was very thirsty.

Security Agent – Too bad. You will have to leave your water bottles behind for us as we get tired of asking these questions million times over all day long and end up with a dry throat.

Passenger – Am I all clear now.

Security Agent – Not quite.  If you are in a rush that means you are up to something. I want you to step aside for body search.  Take off your shoes, socks and anything else on your feet and that goes for your entire body.

Passenger – Under garments on or that comes off as well?

Security Agent – Depends on what the body scanner reveals let us wait and watch the result.

After strip search is complete, the passenger will have to scramble and gather the hand carry items that might be anywhere in that area. In this desperate moment the chances of losing things and your bag getting picked up by some stranger or you walking away with someone else’s bag if they look alike are quite possible as well.

You are constantly reminded that you may be the respectable and dignified member in your family and friends circle. However, when you are in the airport you are a terror suspect. Accordingly, if you walk away even for a minute or two from your luggage that would alert authority to approach you for investigation not excluding arrest.

Remember to cling on to your luggage for the separation from your baggage at the airport might be a costly affair that could include losing whatever freedom ordinary people have in the contemporary age.

Bon Voyage!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

India – Indian Film Industry Off Screen Image

By Padmini Arhant

Indian Film Industry is the bed rock for corruption, extortion, money laundering, philander and promiscuity. The underworld investments foment nefarious dealings not to mention piracy and copyright violations.

The stardom and fame comes with impunity on political scandals, hit and run manslaughter causing poor people to die in vain with justice denied to victims’ families simply because the offenders are superstars.

The industry’s mega stars are also at liberty to indulge in poaching targeting innocent animals like deer as a favorite pass time. The super star status also permits them tax evasion, embezzlement in several million dollars while others notably deny payments and use violent threats against distributors, marketing agents and those involved in the film promotion.

In other instance, the Bollywood actress entry into American television industry is big news in the Indian press while the same actress along with her father harassment of occupants in Mumbai’s neighborhood in an attempt to unlawfully evict residents in the apartments in a bid to own the high rise complex barely reach the media or newspaper column.

The film craze in India is an epidemic. As a result, there are no limitations and restrictions on the actors and actress activities that would ordinarily be considered criminal in any society upholding the rule that none are above the law.

The society that has different standards for celebrities, industrialists and high profile political figures exempting them from offenses and crimes has the writings on the wall that are often ignored much to societal detriment.

Believe me soon some Indian women could be a WOMAN upon them abandoning their MAN’s hairstyle for anything to change is better when it begins at the top.

Never too late to make things right.

Thank you.

Social Dilemma – Lower Income Category

Womanhood – In the Twenty First Century

By Padmini Arhant

The lower income category.  The so-called menial jobs may after all be not that irrelevant. The audio presentation in Hindi with English subtitles to follow is a brief review on the social plight of members serving the privileged class in Indian society. 

Thank you.

Padmini Arhant.

—————————————————————————-

By Padmini Arhant

Womanhood – Understanding the creation of opposite gender could perhaps dispel ignorance and transform human prejudice and patronizing to respect and regard for a woman facilitating life, longevity and livelihood.

Life begins in mother’s womb with the fetus originating as female first during gestation and later developing into a male or female baby depending on the genetic composite and chromosomal factor as XY and XX respectively. The X chromosome being the common denominator.

The initial female genetic evolution into either gender in the reproductive stage in addition to the male and female hormones such as testosterone and estrogen as well as progesterone presence and the hormonal balance required for healthy living is a natural process conforming to transgenderism in all otherwise considered unique due to ill-conceived notion.

The male and female composition is intrinsic and designed to prolong life in generational order. The male and female synergy is quintessential for proper functionality. The masculine and feminine qualities are distinctive taking gender traits into consideration. Machoism and chauvinism in male characteristics while submissiveness and servility expected from female counterpart is regrettable undermining social equality.

Furthermore, the prevalent custom denigrating responsibilities such as motherhood and home maker is anything but intelligent.

In fact, good parenting and housekeeping that demands sacrifice enables better family environment nurturing values reflected in human character and individual performance.

The current system with children raised by hired services and care givers instead of parents in normal conditions grow up not knowing family concept and miss out on early bonding and adopt lifestyle to suit others priority.

Mother as a primary source to a child’s well-being from conception to early childhood that often extends beyond adolescence into adulthood plays an important role in life.

Woman’s duty is not limited to family upbringing but also involves financial contributions with the cost of living rising exponentially while income remaining stagnant against inflation and consumer price index in any economy.

The women progress especially amongst socially disadvantaged segments worldwide is far from satisfactory with some improvements in rural as well as urban areas since the introduction of micro financing allowing women to participate in self-supportive programs and small business.

Again the lack of literacy and social impediments faced by women in many regions deny them opportunity to seek employment making survival difficult for them and dependents in the household let alone realize dreams and passion.

The other problems include security as women are vulnerable to rape and physical violence with justice reversed accusing rape victims rather than punishing the offenders and providing maximum safety for women of all age group to move freely without apprehension.

Women are also subject to atrocities by both men and women compounding social and economic challenges in the contemporary period. The violation of rights during peace and more so in war zones are regular events in the absence of protection plan and crime prevention strategy.

The economic and social disparity for women in the lower income category are slighted exacerbating their plight as a single mother or a widow in the family struggling to make ends meet in the tough situation.

In comparison, the women in better economic status and affluent background in particular make use of the privileges and have easy access to prosperity. Not to mention the misuse of law favoring women by some in this context.

Even though women are in many fields demonstrating capability and talent, the treatment of women as subordinates persists as a reminder on the Man’s world.  Unfortunately, women are equally responsible for the gender bias promoting discriminatory practice with the focus on personal interests.

Society’s view and treatment of women striving hard is not without condescendence. Those serving the hospitality industry in different capacity are scorned by the same people dependent on the service.

Alternatively, women from impoverished background forced into choosing a line of work that compromise chastity are identified as prostitutes and vilified for their  occupation. 

At the same time, women in the fashion, beauty pageants and entertainment industry willfully exposing on camera in public spotlight not barring nudity and voyeurism in pursuit of fame and fortune that could be achieved in any other job not requiring provocative exhibition are cheered and honored with awards and titles in society.

The former invites police raid and arrests upon such finding ordinarily noted as a liability whereas the latter safeguarded ensuring no harm and regarded a celebrity. What is done behind close door with the client attracts societal acrimony in contrast to the modern women career comprising intimate scenes or display with several and watched by millions with audience applause.

Clearly the glamor and glitz in activity with glaring similarity leads to glory. 

Nonetheless money is the incentive in both scenarios with one doing for survival and the other mostly to satisfy own aspiration by any means describing the state of affairs.

The society’s contradictory position towards women for decisions based on existence purpose and popularity contest beckons revision.

Women in general are expected to bear the burden and bulk of obligations with variation in global standard affecting the remotely located and disenfranchised demography.

Regardless, life is made possible with female endurance in enabling birth and infusing energy forming the basis of world emergence and sustenance.

The versatile positive attributes aptly qualify for recognition and glowing tribute to womanhood.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Immunity – War Crimes and Abuse of Power

By Padmini Arhant

Terror and terrorism emanating from profiteers of violence with agenda to prolong status quo is the twenty first century war against peace and unity.

Politics seeped in corruption and criminality justified as the means to remain in power through elections that legitimize illegitimacy is the norm that fuels chaos and turmoil in the tumultuous era.

The institutions, private organizations and secret society run governments poised as champions of democracy while unseating democratically elected choices for proxies representing the ideology and dogma prevalent much to self-detriment.

The success through ballots in the so-called democracies is largely based on campaign finance and unscrupulous strategy allowing the undesirable and establishment nominees to acquire power. 

The electoral process is a platform misguiding the hungry and hopeless electorate in search for hope and change in life with the elected ultimately serving the campaign sponsors and economic stakeholders interest.

The incognito rule directing policies with representatives and agents in politics, economic sector, communication media and entertainment industry…not barring religious domain exemplify the state of affairs.

Any investigations and inquiry on wars clearly identifying the authorities misuse of power and cavalier approach would be effective and meaningful upon universal application of international law rather than selective incarceration and judgments witnessed time and again against Eastern Europe and African members targeted to convince the world on International Court of Justice role as UN body.

Furthermore, the nations proclaimed as democratic conducting probe on such matter utilizing tax payer funds could demonstrate serious commitment in advancing the inquest into indictments setting precedence to curb abuse of power and discretionary actions by the government claimed to represent the people.

Instead, the former and present chief executives are provided opportunity through media and surrogacy to self-exonerate on crimes against humanity rendering the independent or appointed committees’ arduous exercise futile to reinforce business as usual practice.

In any society that values democratic principles would hold every citizen accountable regardless of status for violation of laws and human rights reversing the paradoxical system.

The tradition granting immunity to political figures and celebrities on activities that would otherwise have legal repercussions for ordinary citizens is a vindication of crimes and criminal behavior adding insult to injury to victims and families in the apparent civil society.

The powerful forces aggression against powerless misinterpreting political mandate and operating without checks and balances in the increasingly cooperative and tolerant setting to blatant breach of electoral trust and sovereign integrity promotes carte blanche authority.

Unless the severity of damages in enabling counterproductive course and indulgence is addressed through mass consciousness predominantly affecting them, the path to destruction would continue under the pretext of pervasive benefit despite reality.

The mind invasions in the name of art and entertainment as well as every possible medium that attracts public attention are engaged for propaganda and illusive portrayal. 

Although the nuances are intended to tarnish images with the efforts in vain, the disclaimers conveniently used in defense to absolve them of possible legal consequence on character defamation and mendacity.

Again the noble and righteous would introspect and refrain from being part and parcel of contemptuous dealing.

The world’s progress is sustainable with law and order made applicable from top to bottom without exception rejecting exclusive privilege based on political and economic position.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

EU – BREXIT

By Padmini Arhant

The referendum in the United Kingdom favoring BREXIT has sparked reaction and sentiments followed by political resignations in Britain.

Understanding the concept, ideology and strategy in addition to trajectory of any organization, union and institution with or without transformation facilitates fair evaluation.

Accordingly, EU role and functionality since inception and relevantly in recent memory is presented for clarity and focus on reality.

European Union with 27 states as members including Britain until now is essentially a parallel government headed by President, Foreign Secretary and key stakeholders appointed to run the alternate body not limited to regional affairs.

EU emergence with bureaucrats and political leaderships in various designations assume power that typically undermines sovereign status of member nation.

EU embarked on consolidating prospects with respect to trade and commerce within Europe not excluding human resources through immigration and multilateral treaty binding members to reciprocate on economic activities for European progress.

Such framework attracts interest and boost position besides diverse aspirations to optimize gains and mitigate losses from the venture.

The model in practice provided temporary results with nations vying for EU membership subject to approval upon satisfying EU requirement.

However, with benefits not commonly distributed the economic downturn produced high unemployment and trade imbalance not to mention exploitation of human capital.

EU as the central authority located in Brussels, Belgium exert control over economic and monetary policy.

Notwithstanding extensive involvement in political governance of weak economies like Greece and alike imposing austerity in the name of fiscal responsibility that continues to exacerbate economic woes creating generational indebtedness.

EU formation and subsequent introduction of euro as the preferred currency unit set the trend for struggling nations in the territory to peg the economy on fledgling euro in the hope of economic recovery.

The outcome thus far evidenced in selective dominance in the union enable financial and economic advantage to them at vast majority expense comprising ordinary citizens, labor force and educated youths in particular.

The transition cost vulnerable states like Cyprus, Greece and similar euro members to succumb to harsh financial terms and conditions not barring unethical means on compliance.

The prominent financial institutions viz. European Central Bank (ECB), the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and international banks influence on the matter with heads of the government as powerful EU representatives obliging bankers demands in debt management is not a populist doctrine.

Furthermore, EU membership is based on meeting criteria that are not necessarily confined to economy but extends beyond pledging allegiance to EU policy.

The global recession in late 2007 with sub-prime mortgage crisis originating from the United States and lack of transparency and accountability in the financial dealings had contagion effect.

Europe economic stagnancy under EU in the absence of necessary growth is yet to demonstrate measures to ease persisting uncertainty and volatility in the market performance. The significant impact on the desperate job situation cannot be ignored either.

EU stance on immigration clarified in member states like France, Germany, Italy and Spain…immigrants plight forced to contend with lower wages and social inequality.

EU ideology and strategy premised on geopolitical expansion in partnership with the United States as NATO ally confirmed in Ukraine leaving the once stable nation in chaos and turmoil.

In the middle east, EU decision to lift arms embargo rather than reinforcing weapons ban to terror networks now proliferated as ISIS and ISIL contributed to refugee problems in Syria, Iraq and Lebanon.

Syrian refugees seeking political asylum are denied entry by EU with greater efforts and plan mobilized to curb citizens’ influx from war torn Syria and Iraq. 

As for Islamophobia, the cartoon depiction and denigration of Islam’s Prophet from EU member state was entertained as freedom of expression as it goes with other religion or spiritual representation.

On the contrary, there is zero tolerance to constructive critique on issues affecting people’s lives and the world at large. 

The celebrity worship with proxies granted immunity on serious violations and crimes define the detrimental tradition.

In the context of BREXIT vote, the discussion on facts over hype spreading clamor and hysteria would exemplify propriety.  The subversion and spin are distractions at best and deception at worst when forming conclusions on public opinion.

Britain having retained the original currency – pound sterling and never subscribed to euro during membership perhaps explain the reservations on euro. 

The decline of Britain’s pound against dollar on BREXIT projected as the strength of EU is a perspective without justification.

Change is an evolutionary process in the experimental and natural event.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Religion – Happy Easter 2016!

By Padmini Arhant

From crucifixion to resurrection the message to humanity on the significance of moral and ethical evolution for self-redemption is yet to be recognized and realized otherwise conspicuous in the precipitous decline in humanitarian values and rejection of righteousness.

Since creation until today the divine force existence is questioned and challenged with ridicule and blasphemy. The defiance to God’s will on fairness, justice and peace exemplified in defending offence, deception and deceit.

Despite timeless and seamless presence as the sun, the moon and the stars in the galaxy, the universe functionality with time marking the beginning and end of cyclical era depicting the supernatural phenomena effectiveness, the ignorance persists in the lack of awareness and knowledge about absolute truth.

The cosmic activities and energy on multidimensional planes with interventions to protect and save planet from destruction enabling life to continue and progress in the eternal spacial timeframe and extended course experiencing birth and death until liberation of soul from karmic effects resulting from deeds and wilful indulgence are some amongst myriad divine orientation.

Upon actions reaching the point beyond salvation, the need arises for penance providing yet another opportunity to defeat the enemy within starting with presumptuousness and egocentricity.

Human nature transcending prejudice and preoccupation allowing sincere care and compassion in the absence of ulterior motives would initialize the potential for harmony and happiness.

The commemoration and remembrance of sacrifices by Jesus Christ and great many noble souls are best demonstrated in performing the duty illustrated by them in teachings serving as testament.

Happy Easter!

Peace to all!

Thank you.
