Navodaya Vichar: How to treat your Servants

A master should look after his servants in following five ways:
  •        By assigning them work according to their strength
  •        By supplying them with food and wages
  •         By tendering them in sickness
  •           By sharing delicacies with them
  •          By granting leave at times
(The Buddha suggested above things to masters of his days. It is still relevant and may be taken as guiding principle by industries and employers.)
The fate of employers and employees should swing together. One should not extract exorbitant profits at the cost of welfare of workers pushing them towards penury.

Slice of Life

Surrounded by the luxurious,
Ample affluents of class
Inside in the edge a small Ones,
Malnutrition, unemployed, illiterate and ill-fated,
Masses lives but always ill at ease,

Bread Without butter Rice without pulse
Veggie Slightly seen.
Milk never desire to drink,
Discarded items daily delighted,
But that are needed for the nerves
For melting muscles Sunken eyes
Several an hours stopped Stomach,
Forces to serve.

Tattered apparles dirt full of unseen germs
Cracked Swollen feet inside the plastic sheets,
Mist of black blanket covered undesire soul
The little Ones no one to hold,
Life may be gold.
When they try to behold
But it stretch continuous,
inside the deeper hole
We behold, they always behold,
But no eyes goes On poor soul.

Anemic tender faces wants light,
But in tender hands,
broom and water pipe common sight,
For blooming of greenish odours,
Who care for dull roots hands
Which yet not know,
Where fate stand?
Their fate of future drying up,
The hands which have to books and bags
But why they care of that.
The body full of fats,
In gloom linear leg,
Wash their path, that looks always
Fresh, not a single part of mess.
What is snacks and what is meal?
For them the slice make them to survive,
Are they always born for slave
Older, younger tender age.

Why we not stop the tender hand
That their life don't become the sand.
Planting and watering their future
Bring the beauty by
Nurturing these tenders behold
them and think for a while,
Why we not save their life.
From deeper ditch inside
And bring smile
          and bring smile.

Caste, Politics and Development

To devour ideas over these topics requires immense scholarship works, but some time our hearts also provides enough hints for directing our views and prompts to study available material on these ideas. Whenever I shall get time, I would like to delve in this topic.

As soon as election is declared either in Bihar or in UP, every one starts talking about need of development and casteism as the great blockade for achieving these goals. People are making wild guess that here people specially villagers are not voting for development for just voting on their caste line. 

While discussing with my friend, today I realized that though people are voting on caste line, they are still voting for development. One have to understand the fact that development for whom? Development for those who are talking about this or development for the voter themselves. Democracy gives strength to every one to caste vote not for the development of others, but for the development for themselves. Everyone makes some calculation keeping in mind their own security, benefits, interest and then only caste votes. As our societies has been divided on caste line and their economic condition has also been largely decided by their caste, they believe that their development lies in the development of the members of their own caste. 

Lack of Communication: As people generally communicate among their own groups (mostly members of their own caste), they new very well that if some benefit will come, then that will come only through this channel. Endogamy is the characteristic of caste has almost made communication between different caste impossible. Schools, colleges, religious affairs and other group activities have started offering doors for developing inter-caste communication and relations.
