Dharma - Adharma

Rama promised to kill Vali and give the kingdom to Sugriva. Sugriva was given a garland for Rama to identify him as Vali and Sugriva look alike.

Sugriva calls Vali to fight with him. Thara, wife of Vali forbades him since she doubts as he is waering a garland. Moreover she says that she came to know that Rama and Lakshmana came to Kishkinta. So she doubts Rama to be helping Sugriva.

Vali disliking the advice, replies, "Don't you worry about Rama. He knows dharma; he is one brought up in he fear of sin. Oh, let me alone, will you? I may tell you I shall not kill Sugriva, only I will teach the presumptuous fellow a lesson he won't forget and let him go. Let me go, I tell you. You have spoken out of the fullness of your love for me. I shall humble  Sugriva and send him back and return soon with victory. Have no fear for me."

He added, "You know about Rama. He has 3 brothers. One brother came along with him to forest. The other two brothers were worshipping his sandals. If my brother had asked Rama to kill me, he
would have told him about his brothers and adviced him to be devoted to me". He further said, "If anyone else had told these words, I would have slayed him. But I did not kill you as you're a woman". We need to note the words," You're a woman". He did not say "You're my wife".

Then he goes to fight with Sugriva, and Rama hits him with an arrow. Vali saw the arrow and came to know it was from Rama. Rama appeared before him. Vali asked,"Is it you who killed me?". He said to Rama what his wife told and his replies. He added,"Oh! It did not strike me that you are away from your wife. If a man is separated from his wife he could not be in normal state. He could not think on what he does. So is your state."

"If it was battle with me you wanted", he said, "I would have given it to you, and slain by me in fair combat you might have been lying in the dust as I do now. Or if it was help to recover your Sita I would have won her back for you in a day. I would have killed Ravana and dragged his body with a rope round the neck and placed it at your feet. No matter where he has hidden Sita, I would have discovered her and restored her to you."

Valmiki has it that Rama gave some explanation with which Vali was satisfied. Because anything done in defense of dharma is dharma.When the other side follows adharma in war, you need not hesitate to use adharma. Everything becomes fair in war.

Same is the situation where Krishna deals with Kauravas in Kurukshetra. He did not follow dharma in many situatuions like killing Dhrona, Bheeshma, etc.

Some feel, the explanation seems not acceptable. Even, Rajaji said so. But it is acceptable when we see the result of similar situations in later periods. Prithvi Raj Chauhan followed dharma when he let off Mohammed Ghori the first time. India still hasn't recovered from that mistake. Vijayanagar empire defeated Deccan Sultanates for 3 centuries in many wars. But it did not destroy them and let them off. It lost one war in 1565.Just one war. Just visit Hampi today to know what happened then.

Gandhi fasted to force Nehru to give Pakistan Rs.55 crore as share from reserve bank. He cited dharma as the reason. Pakistan waged a war against India with that money.

Rama and Krishna showed the way to fight a war. Prithvi Raj Chauhan, Rayas and Gandhi did not understand it.

CHANGE WE NEED

The greatest scams in amount and number happened in the government lead by Congress. TN can be proud as DMK is a main part of it.

Free schemes:
The free schemes are the best way to waste the governments money and increase price hike of all basic needs. In a long run, it will not be useful. "Free schemes will be available till poor people exists", stated by Karunanidhi. Actually it should be till votes exists for poor people.

The cost of all needs from vegetables to oil has become double.

Besides wasting the government's money and price hike, it makes people lazy. A man getting money from NREGA, having rice from ration, lives without doing work.

Where does the free television go?
The television which is got from state Government in morning is sold to shops, and the money goes back to the state government in the evening through TASMAK.

House for poor:
With 75,000 people has to build house. The rate of cement Rs. 300 per 50 kg. The rate of brick is Rs. 10 per stone. The cost of imported cement from Pakistan works out to Rs.190 including transport.

Insurance:
To save people's life, the government should increase the standard of government hospitals. If GHs are better why do people go to private hospitals? It is enough to increase the infra structure in GH and be strict with the doctors there. But giving insurance is to make benefit for the insurance company and waste public money.

Fishermen Dead, Letters to PM:
For all problems of people, a letter is written to PM. Now Nirupama Rao is going to Sri Lanka after 400 fishermen are dead. She is going now because election is nearing in TN.

Fasting:
The greatest drama ever seen. Fasting for half a day, is like a gap between breakfast and lunch.

New secretariat:
A temporary set for the opening of secretariat, costed 3 crores. Public money is wasted in full swing.

Semmozhi maanaadu:
It was more like a function to praise Karunanidhi. Vali, Pa Vijay, etc praised him till their satisfaction. Don't know whether it satisfied CM. But no invitation to Abdul Kalaam. No word about U V Swaminaatha Iyer. He is the one who took all ancient tamil scripts from and printed through press. If not, all tamil literatures in leaves would have been the prey to termites. But mention mention about him in maanaadu.

After all, what we got from maanaadu. Amidst all problems like the fishermen dying in hands of Sri Lankan navy, price hike in the state, power cut, is the function necessary? Again, a grand waste of public money.

Power cut:
Nowadays no one speak about power cut. Has it reduced? No. It became usual for the people. People started planning their activities keeping in mind the power cut also.

GG:
Everyone knows about it. The recent news is that the company, which bought the the license, has link with Dawood. Besides Congress govt helping and surrendering to terrorism, Pakistan and China, DMK also helped for their part.

Entertainment Tax Exemption for Films with Tamil names:

We are earning 20,000 and paying tax. but those who make film with 160 crores and earn 380 crores need not pay tax. There is a great loss for the Govt in this. But no one has bothered about that. Being a sensitive issue, opposition even never talked about this.

If the Govt wish to forsake the loss, it can give tax reduction to small scale industries, and let them improve. Encouraging small scale industries is done in Gujarat. As a single family producing, they are getting benefit from these too



Removing a bad government is more important than the need for good government. So, try to vote to remove DMK. In case captain stands alone, voting for him would be advantageous for DMK, as the vote for AIADMK, the big party next to DMK, reduces paving way for DMK to come to power.

Think while you vote. Vote not for money. The money given to us will be earned by them in minimum 1 year. We will be spending that money in 30 days for our basic needs itself. For the remaining days we need to suffer.

IMPORTANT: It is important that we must vote. Then we can decide vote for whom.

Leave pottuttu oorukku poi vote podanum. yaar povadhu?

Avoid such thought. Be a responsible citizen.
