Life without conditions


Life without conditions: Unrealizable dream
                                                                                                                                                               Lalit K Kaul

When parameters like truth, justice, morality, ethics, extravagance, falsehood etcetera are brought in, then no ‘life’ is without conditions because these define the boundaries of freedom that are not to be violated. These may be defined by a society living in inaccessible regions of Amazon forests or desert peaks of Ladakh; that is, the societies that have total disconnect with the modern world and its belief and value system. Even if there are no institutionalized definitions of all the said parameters, yet within every human being there is something that without conscious control allows or disallows him/her a particular type of conduct. That ‘something’ is conscience which is undeniably a very dominant attribute of an individual and which differentiates one from the other in terms of external conduct. This conscience of a being (the slave) is under nobody’s command and hence free to direct the slave without being restricted by any conditions. So, within a barricaded human being there is this attribute with unrestricted freedom.
In any case, the concepts of truth & falsehood, right & wrong, ethical & unethical, etcetera have / can have no separate and independent identity (recognition). If they don’t merge with the thought and deeds of an individual, they cease to exist. Their cognizance is derived from speech/act/conduct and all kinds of civic sense of an individual (who would never think that whatever he/she did was untruthful, unethical and/or wrong), but- as always- the Judge is a rank outsider. So, whether a particular act of an individual- under certain circumstances- is ethical or unethical, the outside world decides and thereby even the ‘free conscience’ of an individual is subjugated. So, when even the internal world of a human being is subject to the scrutiny of the ever dominating external world, the life ‘ordinary’ or ‘extra ordinary’ is not without conditions.
One cannot break free from the world, but one can find freedom within the externally imposed constraints like a horse which is restricted to move in a straight line due to blinkers. The problem is not that life is not without conditions, it is that even the limited freedom to act of their own accord, an extraordinary huge mass of people have been denied by one stroke of pen that declared them backward, ignorant and superstitious while declaring their knowledge base as unscientific.

Reason Why KP community Boycott J&K Assembly Elections: Lalit k kaul

 Reasons Why the Kashmiri Pandit Community Should Boycott Assembly Elections in J&K Lalit K Kaul Democracy is characterized by a government that's “Of the People By the People & For the People". But in our country, India, it's characterized by a government that's “Of the depraved Netas By the depraved Netas & For the Chosen Castes and Minority Group". It's also governance for votes consolidation. Therefore, more the numbers in a caste and minority-based categorizations, the more that caste and minority centric governance. This kind of governance has put such a dispensation in place which inhibits bringing culprits and criminals to justice and justice delivering system itself is conspicuous by its absence. Because the Police has been reduced to being a handmaiden of political outfit in power; the voters/goons/supporters of a political outfit in power are declared to be above law and, therefore, beyond the reach of the police force.

Sri Ram Bhakts Desh Bhakts and Kashmiri Pandits: Lalit k kaul

  Sri Ram Bhakts Desh Bhakts and Kashmiri Pandits Lalit k kaul If vociferously chanting Jai Sri Ram and renting the Air with slogans like “Mandir Wahin Banayengae” were to be the qualifications and also proof enough for being a Sri Ram Bhakt then this trait of dishonesty would have left the abodes of crores of such Bhakts and corruption in public dealings including political corruption would have witnessed an astronomical fall. Far from it and an ever-receding distant dream! The Sri Ram Temple at Ayodhya: For all the euphoria built around raising a magnificent Sri Ram temple in Ayodhya, its team of architect, contractors, skilled laborers supervised by Yogis, Mahants and those who laid the claim for owning Ram Lalla; the net outcome was the edifice that gave in to the very first monsoon showers! The roof leaked exactly above the place where the idol had been placed and sanctified! What a Bhakti! Wonder about those architects, skilled manpower and labourers who carved out hu

"Terrorism" in Reasi Rajouri Doda Trikuta Nagar (Jammu City): Nehru's Blunders Modi's Rectifications: Lalit k kaul

  “Terrorism” in Reasi Rajouri Doda Trikuta Nagar (Jammu City): Nehru's Blunders Modi's Rectifications Lalit k kaul So, it’s back to from where it started! The focus is now more on Jammu region and, indeed, it has reached Jammu city! It’s not that such attacks are not happening in Kashmir or had not happened in Jammu city in 1990s, but the latest ones in J&K have few new messages to deliver to Indian State and its political leadership (L to R). Those spearheading such attacks are within J&K and are confident that the role of the political outfits that are occupying opposition benches in the Parliament will be to only criticize the ruling coalition and not join hands with the latter for chalking out a path that would annihilate the concocted political doctrine that holds India as the Occupier/Aggressor in Kashmir and therefore must quit. One should not lose sight of the fact that such political outfits whose designs and objects are inimical to the integrity of Indi
