United States Affordable Health Care aka OBAMACARE
By Padmini Arhant
The legislation effective in 2014 with mandatory subscriptions tied to penalty upon non-compliance favoring health insurance industry ignores serious implications and costs to average consumers struggling to maintain insurance that hardly meets basic requirements.
There is more to it that meets the eye in this health care law proved symbolic than substantive.
The explanations on this topic will follow in due course.
Thank you.

(INDIA) RSS ORIGIN
By Padmini Arhant
RSS ORIGIN – Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh was initiated and set up in 1925 with British Raj authorization during colonization of India. RSS has nothing in common with Hindu religion. RSS is a political organization exerting influence over current ruling power BJP. Any talks on proselytism (forced conversion of followers of different faith) is against Hindu religion and religious doctrine that respects all human beings rights to choose one’s faith besides preferences such as atheism or agnosticism.
RSS ideology is contradictory to Hindu philosophy that appreciates secularism considering the birth of other religions such as Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism to name a few from Hinduism.
Any fundamentalist concept has political roots and exploits religion for personal and fraternal aspirations known to backfire at source and catalysts behind the cause.
RSS claim on proprietorship over Hindu religion for spreading hardline tactics is blasphemy. India is a nation with diverse cultures and religions where messages of peace, harmony and tolerance not otherwise would serve in entire population interest.
The topic will be discussed further in due course. Please click on the audio link for content in Hindi.

Vishwa Kalyan Award – 2016
Hello Everyone!
I, Padmini Arhant, Author and Presenter PadminiArhant.com, representative divine mission present the names of Vishwa Kalyan award recipients in Humanitarian category.
The world where violence is the norm and regarded profitable at the expense of innocent lives escalating terror sponsoring and warfare leaving thousands dead and millions as refugees for vested interests, there are individuals not necessarily acclaimed in politics, entertainment or any other celebrity status yet deservingly admirable souls for having sacrificed their lives to alleviate oppressed victims plight and defend others life.
These citizens have not been concerned about race, religion, ethnicity or socio economic background considering the importance these classifications have in world society. Instead they expressed their humanitarian thoughts and exemplified in action which is rare in the present time consumed with self-interest and popularity rating prompting any involvement in charitable or Samaritan deeds.
The adage young and foolish juxtaposed old and wise was proved to be nothing more than a perception with these great personalities demonstrating their sincere love for fellow citizens – the humanity at large.
These intelligent, caring and brave martyrs laid their lives to protect the targeted population from violence and terror.
I have the great pleasure in announcing their names and they are none other than – then 15 year old Aitzaz Hasan Bangash – the shia Muslim from Pakistan thwarted the terror attack against his fellow students in Hangu in the City of Peshawar, Pakistan.
The other recipient of Humanitarian award – Vishwa Kalyan Award goes to American Peace Activist – then 23 year old Rachel Corrie crushed to death by Israeli authority bulldozer when she tried to defend the Palestinian homes in Rafah, Palestine in 2003.

Independence Day Celebration
August 15, 2016
By Padmini Arhant
Nations celebrating independence day – Singapore, Pakistan and India reflecting on milestones reached since the respective nations declaration of independence from foreign rule.
The achievements or the lack thereof are best evaluated in society beginning at the bottom with the poorest of the poor, the lower income struggling to make ends meet and the categories above comprising the labor force in the economy. The business sector survival is directly linked with consumer base affecting the retail industry, the supply chain and ultimately the manufacturing source.
The affordability amongst the lower income group representing majority diminish due to lower wages, underemployment and unemployment amid soaring inflation. The middle class generally bear the burden of the economy in many aspects. They are not only dealing with price rise but also in compliance on various taxes unlike the wealthy opting tax evasion.
The competitive economic environment plateau wages boosting profitability for corporations not necessarily shared from the top all the way down widening gap between the rich and the poor with the middle class barely comfortable in the status quo.
In social equality – besides economic standards creating hierarchy, the diversity in society is not without barriers with gender bias, racial, religion and ethnic divide usually ignore the minority groups and inherent discriminatory practice continues in all respects in the modern age. Then there are the disenfranchised and others targeted for political mileage. In certain parts the population are deprived of basic needs and rights leading to communal isolation. These characteristics exemplify the extreme.
On security – terrorism and territorial disputes causing constant cross border tensions within boundary spreading across the region. The skirmishes become the reason to increase defense budget spending at the expense of other critical investments like health, education, housing and infrastructure stalling global economy.
Citizens safety in the country with crimes such as rape against women not even sparing female infants threatens free mobility for women in emergency and normal conditions in addition to inhibiting economic opportunity in tourism. The strange verdicts exonerating the offenders and faulting the victims in these incidents reverse the trend in national progress.
In other nations, innocent people are hostage to violence from explosions, drone attacks and hostile situations with little or no relief to residents facing persistent threats to their life on daily basis.
Active nuclear proliferation amongst key nuclear powers with nuclear testing on land and under water intensify nuclear upgrade facilitated in nuclear energy worsening global security.
On the environment front, any efforts to optimize clean energy production and use replacing fossil fuel especially coal and oil would reduce carbon emission with deforestation depleting rainforests and ozone. Nuclear power plants are vigorously run and operated in defiance to public legitimate concern in the wake of Fukushima disaster.
Regarding civil liberty – the controlled setting maintained via print, visual and audio media i.e. all possible mass communication to curb basic rights on expression considered anti-government and anti-establishment is a serious setback on democracy. The free speech subversion further confirms zero tolerance to alternative perspective.
Above all, the free nation would apply the law of the land across the spectrum holding none above the law unlike the prevalent system granting immunity to VVIP and VIP’s on crimes ranging from corruption scandals to misuse of power and celebrity status at various level.
The developments otherwise in the economic sense is a welcome change and striving for collective benefits would strengthen national goals.
Greetings to nations commemorating independence day!
Peace to all!
Thank you.

United States – NDAA Veto and GITMO Closure
October 22, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
The White House decision on National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) introduced, enacted and implemented in December 2010 now vetoed in the wake of disagreement between legislative and executive branch on defense spending bill to a tune of $612 billion deserves attention.
NDAA was unconstitutional with serious infringement on civil liberty. The legislation on NDAA defined political reality. Similarly procrastination in shutting down Guantanamo Bay prison holding inmates without due process clarifies democracy in subjugation.
Revoking NDAA and GITMO closure would reinstate democracy and restore human values in rapid deterioration since 9/11.
Besides GITMO, United States and NATO run detention centers in Afghanistan, Middle East, South East Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America facilitating renditions and gross human rights violations under the pretext of war on terror exacerbate terror manufacturing and activities to prolong conflicts in Syria, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan and throughout Africa.
Regardless of motives behind undemocratic rule and practices such as NDAA and GITMO camp, anything counterproductive is unsustainable with inevitable adverse effects on the source and catalysts.
Notwithstanding economic liability in maintaining prison complexes worldwide.
Sponsoring terrorism by funding, training and arming terror networks to destabilize nations is the current trend leaving scores dead and millions in refugee status ultimately affecting the origin of the problem witnessed in refugee influx on EU shores and inhumane response to humanitarian crises.
Likewise, military interventions with aerial bombing and air strikes claimed as expunging terror in Syria and elsewhere are more favorable to boost defense expenditure ignoring massive infrastructure destruction in war zone considering hegemony deployed terror factions across the country.
The repeat proposals from this website to ban weapons supply to terror groups in addition to disarming militants and rebels across the globe is not appealing for those attracted to failure and mayhem.
Simultaneously arms and ammunitions distribution to terrorists, dictatorial regimes, nefarious elements, drug cartels, organized and underground crime syndicate benefit stake holders in defense (more appropriately offensive) stocks to continue status quo.
Nuclear states with military might inability to contain terror and militancy in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Middle East in particular pose credibility factor revealing the background and complicity within as well as outside the domain.
Hegemony aspirations for global dominance producing enormous casualties, human tragedies with generational impact along with economic burden and environment degradation is a lost cause in otherwise fait accompli.
Repealing NDAA and departure from torture techniques cited at GITMO would confirm recognition of erroneous actions and sincerity in reviving democratic principles and fairness in justice.
United States could be the land of the free and the home of the brave upon respecting life in general – own citizens and foreign nationals alike.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Global Status Quo – Crimes Against Humanity
September 15, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
Marking 9/11 anniversary, I published the article on terrorism – the global issue haunting humanity.
The militarily superior and nuclear armed America was attacked on political, intelligence and military establishment watch.
The world was led to believe that dilapidated terror network al Qaeda suddenly incapacitated the nation poised as Superpower.
The terror attack on American soil became the premise for protagonists, catalysts and colluders to invade nations and implement pre-conceptualized Project for New American Century.
They proceeded towards their mission and even declared accomplished in the face of counterproductive adventure.
They launched military intervention in Afghanistan in October 2001. The fourteen years old Afghanistan war continues until now and become the permanent military base to dominate Central Asia. Pakistan remains terror haven with military aid at U.S. taxpayers expense.
Meanwhile the extravagant imperial goals in Afghanistan and across the globe costing United States taxpayers trillions of dollars leaving over 50 million families on food stamps, war veterans homeless and significant number unemployed in the country.
The architects and administration were barely involved bombing Afghanistan, yet another nation on the target – Iraq was invaded under false pretext claiming that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction only to be proved otherwise.
The WMD in reality was weapons of mass deception.
In 2009 and 2010 – the U.S. troops were increased in Afghanistan. Although the troop withdrawal from Iraq was stated as conclusion of occupation, the ground situation confirmed troops presence with military activity.
Furthermore, the troops withdrawn from Iraq were redeployed in Afghanistan and beefed up in the Middle East rather than returning home.
In 2011 – the Arab Spring that began in Tunisia spread to Egypt resulting in the overthrow of western and Saudi Arabia backed dictatorial regimes generating hope for the oppressed population in the Middle East.
These events were capitalized to expedite PNAC objectives and spearheaded in Libya and Syria.
The world was once again misled with deceptive authorization of no fly zone in Libya for western air raids and subsequently Libya was destabilized to serve as weapons warehouse channeling delivery to western sponsored terror networks in Syria.
Syrian war with terror infiltration – funded, trained and provided logistic and military hardware until now.
United States, EU and middle east allies rejected successive peace accord on Syria to end four years old conflict.
Currently, Yemen is under relentless shelling by Saudi Arabia on United States and Israel’s purview not barring U.S. supplied cluster munitions to Saudi Arabia in onslaught on Yemen.
In Eastern Europe, EU and United States organized anti-government right wing political unrest produced massive chaos with hardline government installed leaving the nation in turmoil in eastern region and Crimea union with Russian Federation.
South East Asia – The democratically elected government in Thailand was forcibly removed from power on baseless allegations and substituted with military junta reviving political repression.
Latin America – Democratically elected governments were toppled in Honduras, Paraguay with ongoing efforts against Argentina, Venezuela, Ecuador and Bolivia to name a few in the region.
The Caribbean nation Haiti denied request to reinstate exiled popular leader Jean Bertrand Aristide to power.
Africa – The continent militarized with West and Central Africa recolonized under the guise of security against western and ally’s armed rebel factions in Mali, Central Africa and South Sudan. The strategy promotes perpetual disasters.
Asia Pacific – United States and South Korea military drills escalate tensions alongside building coalition in the staged confrontation with China driving exponential increase in defense budget among ASEAN nations essentially boosting defense industry interests in the military industrial complex.
The outcome from these events is millions of lives killed and several millions displaced with generational impact notwithstanding refugees upsurge creating humanitarian catastrophe for Europe.
The deliberate destruction and damages inflicted on scores of inhabitants not to mention the economic setbacks from political crises brought upon in sabotage of democracy declining hegemony control witnessed in above mentioned territories worldwide.
Accordingly, in the article published on this site titled – United States – 9/11 Anniversary 2015, those actually responsible for 9/11 and wars waged against selected nations in PNAC including protracted aggression in the above cited regions deemed guilty for crimes against humanity.
Considering subversion of justice and institutionalized criminality with political impunity, the entities behind heinous crimes evade accountability.
However, I reiterate that final judgment with consequences are indisputable and cannot be challenged delivering justice to victims to restore dharma (principles in adherence of fairness and righteousness). The segment will be elaborated in the upcoming topic.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Imperialism – Anti Humanity Doctrine
September 13, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
Colonialism survival predominantly dependent on hierarchy and polarization in society with duplicity in policy not to mention adopting any means to sustain unsustainable parasitic tradition.
Colonial strategy is subversion of religion sanctity and civilization heritage.
British Raj during overt reign in India created Rashtriya Sevak Sangh (RSS) in 1930 promoted as Hindu fundamentalists when in reality the organization and political parties pledged allegiance to colonial power until today.
RSS creation is imperialists affront to Hindu religion and Hindu philosophy committed to secularism. At the other end of the spectrum are factions in British partitioned Pakistan opposed to constructive process with India.
Similarly, British colonial power produced Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt projected as Islamic fundamentalists while aiding and abetting the rise of Muslim Brotherhood behind the scenes to serve colonial agenda.
Not surprisingly Muslim Brotherhood refrained from participation in Egypt uprising against Western ally – the dictatorial regime of ex-President Hosni Mubabarak in Tehrir Square, Cairo in 2011.
Furthermore, the so-called first democratic election in Egypt following the western partner Mubarak government ouster in 2011 fielded western candidate Mohammad Morsi representing none other than Muslim Brotherhood.
The dichotomy in imperialists pretense to generate impression of western aversion for fundamentalism with legacy fostering extremism using religion and communal divide expose true identity.
The contrived position extended through RSS in India essentially subscribes to subordination and marginalization prevalent in Indian caste system.
The imperialist response via RSS to the article published on this site titled India – Good Governance Upon Clean Governance calling for abolition of antiquated caste structure in Indian society beckons attention.
RSS chief – interestingly named Bhagwat in the backdrop of goddess Durga banner referring to Indian caste classification as Indian family system proclaimed the degenerative practice – Akshunn interpreted as unbroken and Takat (power) of Hindu Samaj (society).
In fact, the society crafted caste pyramid is proved Apshakun i.e. bad omen and b weakness not power derailing social progress notwithstanding contradiction in India’s status as thriving secular democracy.
A real functioning democracy would exemplify equality and respect human values determined by deed not creed.
The archaic caste custodians cherish discriminatory practice voiding eligibility to be part of human race for the term human is derived from HUMANE – the salient characteristic for Homo sapiens in Mammalia.
Again India’s caste orientation always ranks first among other problems in western criticism about India revealing imperialists hypocritical overture.
The caste denomination is farcical conflicting with the current trend in every other individual’s claim as almighty God.
Above all the superiority asserted on caste based criteria bowing to cannibal sponsors is the irony.
RSS and Muslim League / Brotherhood are two sides of the coin to serve imperial cause – disparage religions relevantly Hinduism and Islam respectively besides establishment of proxy governance.
Imperialism favored dynasty and despotism alternated in politics denying sovereignty and republic rule.
Imperialism contemporary involvement sponsoring terrorism recruit vulnerable and credulous youth branded as jihadists to destabilize nations in the Middle East and North Africa.
Likewise, Central and South Asia notably Afghanistan and Pakistan declared failed states with terror manifestation strengthened through arms supply and military aid.
ISIL evolution into ISIS having emerged from imperial power designed al Qaeda is a classic symptom of ailing supremacy to prolong decadence.
The imperialist destructive goals verifiable in Afghanistan’s Helmand province depriving Afghan farmers from food agriculture such as wheat, maize, mung beans, nuts and produce…forced into poppy cultivation from western capital and profits shared by Taliban – supposedly the enemy combatant fighting against United States and NATO for the last fourteen years in the U.S. taxpayers funded warfare.
Imperialists anti humanity doctrine targets religion, social, political, economic and environment development in the self-effacing stratagem.
The counterproductive course best abandoned since actions have repercussions without exception.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Indian Sub Continent – India Pakistan NSA Talks Cancellation
August 24, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
India and Pakistan national security advisors talks cancellation is regrettable and reveals lack of commitment in saving lives from terrorism.
Pakistan invitation to Kashmir separatists Hurriyat Conference and factions alike prior to NSA meeting scheduled on August 24, 2015 in New Delhi and demand to include Kashmir issue in the bilateral discussion rather than focus on terror in entirety is deviation from past and present official agreements.
The recent terror attacks in India – Udhampur, Jammu and Kashmir and Gurdaspur, Punjab deserves unequivocal attention considering repeat events leading to terror networks in Pakistan. The discourse devoted to terror incidents endangering civilian population on both sides is critical and would demonstrate Pakistan’s renewed efforts to expunge terror within state.
Furthermore, adherence to planned sessions on important matter such as terrorism without Kashmir and various problems in Indo-Pak relationship could have conveyed strong message to the world and terror sponsors as well as operatives in particular on Pakistan’s seriousness to free the nation from terror control.
Beginning with 9/11 in the United States and multiple terror activities against India and other neighbors notwithstanding terror blasts across Pakistan wreaking havoc in the country, the NSA forum was prime opportunity to exchange relevant information and devise effective strategy to purge terror.
Pakistan’s rejection of the proposal to hold exclusive summit on terrorism could be misinterpreted amongst terror groups as state complicity to terror operations inside and across the border.
The series of Line of Control violations in the frontiers cannot be slighted promoting militancy and incursion aimed at escalating tensions between two nuclear nations.
Pakistan’s statement on armed forces ability to defend national sovereignty ignores reality.
Pakistan is under siege with diverse terror organizations making life impossible for citizens in national domain and conducting terror against India and Afghanistan with ISI support.
The nation’s first enemy is the one committing treason and betray citizenry.
Pakistan’s sovereignty violated on many occasions and prominent instance being United States Abbottabad mission supposedly to capture and kill the long deceased al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden near national defense headquarter.
NATO provocative air raid on Pakistan that resulted in several armed personnel tragic casualties while deployed as coalition forces in Pakistan with no apology from aggressors until today is a major setback for military, intelligence and political establishment.
As for Baluchistan secessionism, the evidence with Israel’s Mossad trained agents infiltration in disguise proficient in local language apparently not detected by Pakistan’s intelligence and military in predisposition towards India.
Pakistan internal circles on Saudi Arabia funding and United States military aid remain existential threat to nation and the region.
The debate on Kashmir for Pakistan and external sources instigating hostility using the subject as pretext evade responsibility on involvements in aiding and abetting terror at home and foreign land.
Kashmir separatists as proxies to members with vested interests at Kashmiris expense contributing to endless plight in subversion embarked as liberation crusade.
Kashmir is relevant to citizens in the valley more than anyone anywhere in the world. The proselytized state comprises people of origin not necessarily subscribing to politically motivated foreign agenda. Accordingly, Kashmir merits comprehensive review and resolution to follow in due course.
Those nations prompting behind Kashmir topic need to introspect on prevalent situations against religious denominations of Islam viz. Bahai in Iran, incessant violence against Shia in Pakistan, the war in Yemen targeting Shias representing Houthi movement, the persecution of Kurds in Turkey, sectarianism in Iraq facilitating western and Middle East allies recruited terror and last but not the least the contentious Palestinian dispute.
Muslim nations worldwide are confronted with interior turmoil and fragility emanating from western influenced policy to deny political freedom in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, UAE, Iraq as well as Iran to name a few in volatile Middle East.
Similarly, Islamic nations in South, South East and Central Asia besides Africa susceptible to political instability and unrest largely from incoherence and western dominance through military bases and occupation under the guise of security.
Pakistan’s democracy suppressed with military and intelligence agency intrusion in governance. Since British partition of India in 1947, Pakistan struggles to retain democratic system with lingering opposition to civilian rule.
Then there are schisms proliferating turbulence with underworld crime syndicate and nefarious elements provided refuge with immunity from investigation and extradition.
The existing conditions in Pakistan is impetus on national priority to engage in constructive and meaningful interaction with India and surrounding neighbors in containing terror and insurgency claiming innocent lives all around.
Setting political differences and opinions aside, Pakistan and India resumption of talks at political, military and Border Security Forces levels pertinent to alleviate civilian suffering on either side.
The national pledge to safeguard citizens’ safety and territorial integrity is possible upon renouncing ties with those causing mayhem.
In the absence of delineation from terror manufacturers, the posturing on fighting terror is disingenuous and already consuming the premise fostering enmity.
Pakistan and India dealing with positive intentions to protect lives and eliminate skirmishes would guarantee sustainable peace.
The desirable economic growth and progress is attainable in peaceful and stable environment. The governments dedication to diplomacy in reaching mutual consensus would determine the strength of democracy and independent status of a nation.
Pakistan and India are urged to move forward in forging better relations based on respect for life and trust in delivering secure future to the current and next generations.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Pakistan – Independence Day Celebration 2015
August 13, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
As much as I would like to wish citizens in Pakistan – Azadi Mubarak with August 14 observed as Independence Day, the situation reflect otherwise.
Pakistan may have sought independent status following British Raj partition of India in 1947.
However, Pakistan is yet to experience real freedom with fledgling democracy and foreign controlled intelligence and military restraining democratic evolution.
Pakistan is also under siege with terrorism within and across the borders in every frontier.
Saudi Arabia funding and influence in Pakistan is one of the reasons for terror manifestation considering Saudi kingdom involvement in terrorism since 9/11 in 2001 up until now in the Middle East, North Africa, Pakistan and Central Asia.
Saudi Arabia has also been heavily engaged in running madrassas – the religious schools in Pakistan and Central Asia inculcating extremism despite contradiction with religion of Islam.
Saudi Arabia and Israel policy in the Middle East fostering terror against Iraq, Syria and Lebanon also directed in Pakistan.
The external forces designed U.S. foreign policy is aimed at maintaining Pakistan and Afghanistan as failed states to justify arms sales to the former while prolonging U.S. and NATO presence in Afghanistan.
There is also vested interest in fomenting border tensions between Pakistan and neighbors India and Afghanistan with weapons delivery to various sides in addition to necessitating increase in national defense budget.
Pakistan’s major problem is terrorism wreaking havoc inside the country and across the boundaries and those behind incessant violence are operatives within Pakistan representing sources that are behind secessionism in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya and Yemen.
The internal radicalism exploiting economically deprived youth recruited by terror factions viz. Lakshar è Taiba (LeT) and Jaish è Mohammad (JeM) besides other factions receiving support from Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) remain existential threat to all – Pakistan, India and Afghanistan.
Pakistan border skirmishes with Iran pose security issue as well.
Amid terror and relentless violence, Pakistan is affected by natural disasters like severe floods leaving significant majority in adverse conditions with obstacles for humanitarian relief.
Pakistan is also targeted for provincial separatism in Sindh and Baluchistan.
Kashmir is a distraction restricting Pakistan from forging normal ties with India and avail opportunity in economic, cultural and infrastructure development.
Pakistan’s political system reliance on Saudi Arabia that is strongly opposed to democracy due to insecurity emanating from inevitable ending of dynasty rule should be a cause for concern and accordingly transform relations to economic trade excluding direct intervention in governance and society.
Saudi Arabia connection to sectarian killings of Shia Muslims in Pakistan in semblance with Iraq exacerbates Pakistan’s political and economic growth.
The absence of peaceful environment with terrorism and continuous bloodshed is a major hindrance for Pakistan in attracting foreign investment.
In conjunction to these constraints, Pakistan like most nations worldwide has to contend with corruption and black money in Swiss banks and offshore accounts again denying mainstream population basic means for survival.
The positive sign could perhaps be enabling democratic process to function with departure from military and intelligence agency backed coup disrupting political and economic progress.
Combatting terror is a collective responsibility and critical apparatus such as intelligence and military along with local law enforcement agency cooperation with people representatives in government rather than terror groups could lead to national freedom.
Pakistan’s focus and sincere commitment in this regard would guarantee better relations with neighbors and economic prospects in the competitive global economy.
Best Wishes to citizens in Pakistan on Independence Day celebration for a new chapter with peace and harmony.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Social Predicament – Misogynists Against Same Sex Marriage
August 9, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
The controversial theme brought to public attention for education and introspection obligatory in the process of evolution.
Incognito power and representatives paradoxical stance on all issues is well established with no recollection and realization of personal conduct due to preoccupation minding others life.
Recently the United States Supreme Court approved Same Sex Marriage bringing the states not in favor to conformity.
Although the action was politically motivated and not necessarily aimed at redressing inequality and ostracism,
The verdict is a victory in humanitarian context.
I present the facts for clarity.
As a woman and a mother, I regularly face condescendence and expected to contend with the notion that capability and independent thinking inconceivable for anyone isolated by those using various reservations as pretext for their prejudice.
There is constant reminder about the man’s world with no place for woman to lead and guide humanity.
The disposition emanates from lack of understanding and truth about womenfolk. There is also the element of negativities and insecurity subscribing to impropriety.
Concurrently there is no inhibition in plagiarism of my thoughts, words and identity that are declared as own for commercial and political gains much to inevitable karmic effects of such indulgence.
The divine status of woman in Hindu religion is slighted to maintain contemporary class of women as subordinate.
The present rulers and their proxies – women representatives follow instructions to the letter and delegated to tasks that defy characteristics like wisdom, vision, integrity, courage, care, compassion and patience to name a few in persona.
Alternatively contrived performance commonly witnessed during election campaign and term in office to prolong authority. Again anything unauthentic surface since falsehood continuity is not viable.
Importantly treatment of women at present is reminiscent of decadent era.
The persisting socio-economic disparity notably in wages and participation across the spectrum is anything but similar compared with male counterparts in many societies in the world.
The women plight range from abuse to denial of freedom and individual rights in developing nations and orthodox domain.
Likewise in the developed world women are projected and perceived as objects of voyeurism under socially advanced banner partly because of women willingness to compromise for fame and fortune.
A woman in pants and short hair adapting to man’s attire euphemistically regarded women liberation even when they are obedient servile functionary. Not to mention the appearance alluding to transgender or transvestite perception.
Among mainstream, women are victims of social stigma in rape, infertility and economic conditions tied to dowry deaths in India.
The sexual assault and concept of rape driven to denigrate a woman even though that poorly reflect on offenders’ weakness to lust and behavior suggestive of deviation from human race.
The sharp rise in incidents of rape targeting any age group attributed to leniency and tolerance in the absence of effective laws and measures to curb violation.
The irony is prominent figures, lawmakers and police are often cited for philander, sexual harassment and rape miscalculating fanfare and citizens funded designation. The crimes escalate in the comfort of political immunity.
Instead of directing society to treat and respect others in congruence to anticipation by them, the campaign foster unruly demeanor in lock stock and barrel with influential forces misleading for destructive purpose.
The propagations about women by and large focus on body and physical features that are perishable upon soul exit from corporal state.
Interestingly mind and intelligence acknowledged as masculine trait rather than equal endowment in feminine quality.
How does society augur arrival of female child?
Female infanticide discarding fetus (foetus) misusing ultrasound and innovative technology and neonatal disposal are yet to be eliminated in entirety in India and alike.
China’s policy on population control introducing one child per couple led to orphanages inundated with female children.
In the Middle East live burial of women for breach of antiquated imposition show no sign of dissipation.
Stoning women as capital punishment is considered prerogative in rural parts of the world.
The women in Afghanistan and Pakistan endure dishonorable honor killings and a woman vying for high profile professions in Afghanistan politics or judiciary viz. supreme court justice instantly disqualified based on gender bias over merit.
Women are denied normal life and forced to undergo genital mutilation upholding archaic procedure in Africa.
Elsewhere different connotations to womanhood are worth mentioning for awareness.
I repeat the explanation I provided earlier that predisposes the opposite gender to male with unique interpretation in English language.
Wo(Man), Wo(Men), Fe(male), S(HE) – the reference to femininity in widely spoken English language generates impression of the species as hermaphrodite.
Nonetheless, the fe(male) leading the male in the lexicon cannot be ignored despite misogynistic practice.
The contention on Same Sex Marriage is related to opinion on marriage confining marriage sanctity to union of man and woman in matrimony as worldwide custom.
The trend deserves review with proper evaluation.
The marriage vows for most remain a ritual and not always fulfilled in a relationship contributing to alarming rise in divorce across the globe.
Notwithstanding pre-nuptial agreement to protect wealth is linked to mistrust and credibility factor in marriage.
The other aspects are infidelity with or without offspring in extramarital affairs and spousal dominance over another emerging as dysfunctional family situation.
The domestic violence cannot be ruled out and growing tensions become the basis for marriage dissolution.
Sometimes the extended family interference to break marriages is not uncommon.
In all these circumstances, the children pay enormous price and bear the brunt of marital disputes transformed into family feud destroying lives extending into next generation.
The marriage institution is distinctive depending on cultural background.
For instance, polygamy and divorce are acceptable in Muslim culture.
In fact those unable to marry involving bigamy due to certain religion or law bindings avail opportunity in Muslim convention through apostasy. The convenience at times allow apostate to betray original and adopted faith.
There is sense of abandonment when women are subject to such customs in marriage.
The acceptance of women as equal is far from genuine in modern age.
To some degree women in different category exacerbate women problems as well with discrimination and indifference.
The woes on children born out of wedlock are significant. They suffer from social and economic setbacks in the absence of nucleus family. The impact is severe with teenage pregnancy.
The details mentioned above essentially describe inviolability or lack thereof in marriage.
In terms of religious opine on same sex issue – the scandals concerning parish boys and children in church are not resolved with secrecy evading transparency.
The gay definition varies in accordance with sparsely obtained data and misconstrued to suit customized view.
As for natural law on the Same Sex topic – the delineation is profound in the prelude to procreation feasible only through male and female consummation.
The idea of marriage in gay community necessitated largely from legality to married status in general life decisions like property will and health matter.
Then there is also symbolic aspect seeking joy of celebration in rites comparable to a birthday event that cannot be claimed as specific segment exclusive right and deprive the rest from experience.
The clamor on Same Sex marriage alongside misgivings on woman’s inherent talent and knowledge confirms ignorance at best and hypocrisy at worst from the clueless clique.
The practitioners patronizing women and contemptuous to different lifestyle orientation in the backdrop of little known vast creations are confronted with social predicament as the world is not meant to be homogenous.
The woman is instrumental in facilitating life from conception to adulthood and relevantly in widespread fad for stem cell cloning the embryo development requires unfertilized egg and female surrogacy to enable birth.
Neglecting female excellence in diverse fields and critical role as a result, the marginalization of women in society is unprecedented and regrettably sustained to societal detriment.
Attempts to suppress reality increasingly expose nature’s indomitable composition refining rhythms appropriate for balancing act.
Civilization progress is a collaborative effort attained with mutual appreciation and gratitude.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

United States – White House Carbon Emissions Reduction Rule
August 4, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
President Barack Obama announcement on rule to curb green house gas pollution from power plants is a positive step and deserves national and international cooperation for formidable climate treaty.
The proposition targeting carbon emission from coal plants and automobile industry is one aspect of environment protection scheme.
However, environment hazards are multi-faceted and accordingly involve diverse industrial groups besides federal and state governments within nation.
United States energy consumption remaining significantly higher amongst industrialized nations, the variation in objectives and standard on containing and decreasing carbon emission across the country result in net negative trend and discrepancy in national tally in improving performance.
The plan encompassing basic formula applicable to all with necessary modifications depending on pollution output would be a viable option.
The White House anticipation in cutting carbon emission around 32% by 2030 alongside extending renewable energy from current 5% to 35% in that timeframe is feasible with efficient strategy across the spectrum for impact.
Unfortunately, the U.S. administration dual track in opposite directions confining specific fossil fuel division to environmental law while allowing access to oil companies for deep water drilling despite devastating experience creates huge credibility issue.
British Petroleum (BP) oil spill in Gulf of Mexico in 2010 continues to be major environment disaster.

In the backdrop of environment catastrophe in continental shelf from offshore drillings, the Obama administration approval of Shell Corporation to drill in Arctic juxtaposed White House latest proposal on limiting carbon emission is a direct contradiction posing hindrance in environment goals.
The White House conflicting positions could deter potential achievements not only on lowering carbon emission but also in different areas related to environmental cause.
Furthermore, the existing environment conditions exacerbated from relentless warfare using artilleries, ammunitions, grenades, Improvised Explosive Devices (IED), landmines, chemical weapons against Syria, missiles in Yemen, Libya, nuclear component viz. depleted uranium in Iraq, white phosphorous in Gaza and drones in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Mali and Colombia…to name a few in contemporary practice.
The pragmatic approach to environment problems is to end conflicts in the Middle East, Central Asia, South East Asia, Eastern Europe, Africa and Latin America.
The death and destruction from conventional wars and terrorism has produced outbreaks of diseases controlled earlier spreading into neighboring parts of the region.
The warzones endure grave economic and environment woes with population facing serious health complications due to toxicity and contamination of water as well as air pollution from lethal weapons and terror operatives gross violations inflicting maximum damage.
United States led coalition funding and arming terror networks in Syria, Libya and Iraq contributing to massive casualties and bloodshed not to mention refugees in millions represent humanitarian and environment calamity.
Unless there is recognition to this effect amongst sponsors of terrorism and military interventions prompting them to ceasefire and permanent conclusion to wars, the measures towards environment programs would not have universal benefit.
Syria, Iraq, Palestine, Libya, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Africa, Latin America and oppressed citizens worldwide forced into perpetual suffering depriving them from normal existence.
Planet preservation to sustain life is no longer a choice but necessity with departure from military aggression and terror infiltration to destabilize nations for dominance.
Above all nuclear disarmament of P5+1 and remaining nuclear states is paramount to guarantee global peace and security in the immediate term and future.
The architects and catalysts promoting wars and terrorism together with opponents to environment laws share responsibility in denying safe and healthy habitat to inhabitants of earth.
Safeguarding environment is a collective duty with individual participation making life possible on earth.
Peace to all!
Thank you.
