It looks so bad that TOI does not want to associate with the vviews so expressed by stating that "views expressed are personal". Why it does not hold true for other columnist.

Rakesh,Mumbai,says:Mr. Tarun Vijay pulls in too many present day issues. He should have written separate columns on these. In India those in power are not accountable to anyone, that is a basic problem. There is no fear of punishment. No answerability. That's why slums illegally occupy government land, that is why our custom officials have been indulging in rampant corruption and that is why our roads routinely crumble during every monsoon and nothing gets done about it. [9 Mar, 2008 0015hrs IST]
Suresh,New Delhi,says:The article by Sh. Tarun Vijay is a very honest piece of writing by an Indian whose heart pains for all the ills he sees in the society. This article like many others he has penned is not controversial at all as this is true depiction of the state in which our state is. I would, after having been impressed by his clarity, like to conclude that this article should have also dwelled on the subject of possible solutions to the ills prevailing in our society. This is more so because we humans are obliged to behave like humans and a very scientific and systematic strategy to achieve this status is to lead a life based on DHARMA. Undoubtedly origin of these social ills is a disconnect between two generations the seniors and the youth. The bounden duty on the seniors of every society is to effectively lead their juniors,the youth. Why do we fail in leading them. This is question we need to discuss. We are enriching our youth with scientific temper and in turn reaping the benefits of the same as we see advances in all areas of technology i.e. better medical facilities, better taming of natural resources for human welfare and survival, exploring deeper the universe outside and inside from galaxies to sub atomic particles. But then we suddenly administer our innocent and dynamic youth with a dose of faith. Is it not diametrically opposite to what we have taught them in their teens, the science which in very clear terms says that believe in what you we see physically true and backed by experiments. Nowhere we teach them spirituality based on scientific reasoning. Now how come we expect our youth to believe what we call faith a total disconnect with science which we have been teaching them. It is this very reason that our youth does not find it worthwhile to accept faith in so called God and our rituals when they are expected to believe it. If our religious leaders can show the youth a definite link between faith and science then there is no reason that our youth shall ignore the most important aspect of human life i.e. religion or DHARMA. Now we should come to a very important point of our discussion which has the potential of clarifying our doubts and that is RELIGION. What is this. Some people think that religion is a subject matter of rituals performed in places of worship without even explaining the logic behind these rituals. In absolute terms DHARMA i.e. religion is a way of life with three pillars on which it rests and leads the whole humanity without any fear or favour. 1. Truth 2. Impartiality 3. Justice. If we want to check whether we are leading a Dharmic life or not then we have to ask three simple questions in any situation of life i.e are we truthful, are we impartial and are we doing justice with all whom we come in contact with. There is no question of only believing in Lord Shiva, Lord Christ or Allah to be religious. Moreover it is very simple to understand. A person does not need to be an expert in a religion to ensure that he/she is leading a life based on DHARMA. Every constitution of the world is for ensuring that no injustice should be done with any person, no partiality and no fraud, falsehood or cheating with any one. That means every constitution is an effort to protect its citizen while leading a life on DHARMA. These three constituents of Dharma has all the power of being accepted by any society. So let us think over it and ultimately diminish the possibility of prevalence of sufferings in any society. While we talk about guiding principles of life we should not forget unlimited reservoir of knowledge The VEDAS. The only book in universe which does not mention time, place or person while all other books mention at least one of these proving that these were written by humans while VEDAS are creation of Almighty God for the welfare of humanity. So the urgent need of the society is to make Religion relevant to all rational people who test every thing with reason and science. Such a religion shall be universally acceptable. Now if we look at religion as a solution to all evils present in any society then start applying tests of truth, impartiality and justice to any unthinkable problem you have the reasons causing that problem. I would like all of you to find some time out of your busy schedule to see this link centreforinnersciences.org . This site is managed by Dr. Harish Chandra who has been a Combustion Scientist and served in organisations like Wolkswagen of Germany and even Indian organisation in Pune on Automobiles research who has very explicitly explained many facets of spirituality vis-vis our body, mind, and soul.

Our system of jurisdiction, policing has made sure that every parent to teach his\her child to settle any matter through shortcut. Sir I am not aged person. I am in final year of my Electronics Engineering in premier private Institute of India. Even the sate of affairs here is to help and hear rich and influential people. All this injustice and inequality has made us more weak. The condition is so bad that after living in my Institute for 4 years my courage to fight so called rich and political people has ceased.

Take example of Mumbai Municipal Corporation. It has 1.2lakh employees out of which 25 thousands are sweepers. But still it is most dirty city in world. London municipality has no more than 8 thousand workforce but they manage city 10 times better than Mumbai. The office space in Mumbai is more costly than London which is beyond imagination. Take example of Dubai. Today it is no less than London or New York. Who is working in Dubai? All Indians. When we can work for Dubai, why not for our own city? The reason is simple our politicians will not allow it. The first job we should do is to get rid of these corrupt politicians. But again where is the choice Tarunji?

Over the last couple of weeks, I have noticed you transform from being the mouthpiece of RSS to being the brain behind the BJP. That is obviously because of change in your roles. W.r.t that I hope you will agree with me that for India to improve every paara/gali/community in India needs to have a leader willing and capable to implement your views. Making your guiding light L.K.Advani the PM or BJP the party in power will not achieve that because over the years leadership has not flown from top to bottom in our society. Leadership has been left to a different class of people always, earlier to the Rajas, now to the MPs, as if they were a separate breed. I hope you will also agree that there are lakhs (if not crores) of Indians who want to change their surroundings (locally as well as nationally) for the better but do not have the guts. Do you have a brainwave or idea how to develop a method to use the ability of these poeple for the betterment of society (such that these people can become the leaders of their community and inspire their neighbours the way you try to)? A method as good as to what is used to control the economics of a society i.e., if you increase deposit rates people will start saving and if you lower it people will start spending.
