COACHING THE COCKROACH?
During the Nehru to
Manmohan Singh period, India could not be poised towards a Self-Sufficient
economy at the top of the economic indices was not because India did not
have adequate wealth or resources. Such a leap to stand tall with front ranking
nations as a super power required dynamism in certain
frontiers both domestically and internationally. Political power of
India was dictated by irrational political approaches driven only by the
greed to cling on to power by any means. Like other democratic nations, India
could not have a healthy domestic politics of ideological dialogues, instead tend
to act as hostile and antagonistic forces acting on each other. For the same
reasons, channels were left open for external forces to intervene and create
disturbances and bring about societal insecurity to create impediments in
the forward march towards higher economic goals. No government ever had
projected a target for economic growth and self-reliance and the country
largely remained backward with minimal areas that could be projected as
advanced. When a government asserts the determination to shed off the past and
to leap into a planned economic growth to emerge as a super power within
a stipulated time frame, it has to be a cautious step. Ruling Party and its
frontal organisations have to be vigilant, sharpen their faculties and create
an ambient environment of the entire country shaped into a place of
happening. The country will have to develop a nationalistic
character with main thrust on its own interests. They will have to ensure
that the challenges created by the external forces will not
percolate into the societal fabric, it has to be noted by the entire political
system that “India “ as such has not invested to position itself in the
International Order. Though associated with the National media for over 40
years, a sick bureaucratic mindset could not steer a global
information flow to the outside world in a dynamic manner. This handicap became
visible at the time of Operation Sindhoor. Prominent International News
agencies and media turned against India which affected the credible
achievements in the operation. The Prime Minister had to send delegations to
quite a few influential countries to appraise the real situation.
The economic growth of India can
be curtailed only through creating distrust in the government. For a long time
, indications pointed towards a massive public unrest in the country. The
assertive power of Indian in the control and security of Indian ocean is a
being poser before the US and Allied forces. Operation Sindoor exposed
the failures of US air Defence systems and they had to step into a new
development process. Several other strategic factors were pointing
towards internal disturbances to ignite distrust among the decisive
segments.
India had to carefully look at
the new generation stepping into the electorate count of the country and the
affairs related to them , where a probable penetration could be possible,
A rough assessment leads to a figure of 2.73 crore children who were born in 2007, by 2012 entered schooling and in 2024 would have appeared in 12th board examinations.
Only 1.58 crore of the total
births in 2007 appeared in the HSSC Examinations, where did the rest of the
children vanish? The infant mortality rate of 55 per 1000 live births if
taken nearly 11. 13 lakh children would have died; Actual number of
children who survived from 2007 births may be 2.61 crore. Nearly 1.03 crore
children born in 2007 became unaccounted in the educational system of India ?
The new born who survived would
have attained 18 years in 2025 and naturally should be enrolled as
voters. In the year 2026 elections 2,61 crore new voters at the age
of 18 years would have naturally enlisted in electoral rolls of the
country. If the country had a committed government machinery without taxing the
people to produce records for Voter ID, there would have been proper
statistical data in the country.
In 2024, nearly 1,2 crores
students may have passed the Higher Secondary school Examinations. With the
rising number of students rolling out of the Higher Secondary Institutions,
the biggest beneficiary is the Coaching Industry.
With an average size of nearly
few lacs of employees and dependents, the Coaching Industry is not an easy
structure that can be dismantled. Annual enrolment of students in the
organised and disorganised institutions falls somewhere between I cr0re with
an average fee of nearly 1 lac. The market is expected to grow to nearly
a 1.75 lac crore intermediary raw production centre. Apart from
NEET and other aspirants in Management, Law and UPSC a
parallel market of nearly 5 lakh entrants enrols into the coaching
segment.
Entrance Examinations by now have
become an undesirable and unwanted practice to determine the
quality of entrants into various Professional courses. It was originally
devised to give space for students who do not fall into merit list, which later
on became misused. From IAS Coaching Centres, the segment became
diversified within the past 45 years. Competition between the institutes led to
unhealthy criminal practices, right from the permissions to fingering in the
very examination processes.
The Present ruling party has not
much stake in the growth of the Coaching segment.
Scandals arising from undue
indulgences in the Entrance Examination Question paper leaks attained public
attention in 1997. Following a question Paper leak, the IIT JEE
examinations had to be cancelled. Trivaag Coaching Centre , Lucknow, was found to
have colluded with the Printing Press to smuggle the question papers.
Five years later the examination
paper leaks surfaced and was not meant to be contained in any way. in
2002 All India Post Graduate Medical Entrances test, 2006 Class 12
Accountancy question paper of CBSE, in 2007 All India Engineering Examination,
again AIEE and Pre Medical Test in 2008, Haryana Board Exam 2011, AIIMS
Entrance Exam in 2012, Higher Secondary Examination of Rajasthan
University followed by state PSC were badly Hit.
The spate of Question Paper leaks
continued. In 2021 Rajasthan Eligibility Entrance Examination papers were
leaked. IN 2023 Bihar Police Constables Selection Question Papers and
2024 UP Police Recruitment and Promotion Board also faced identical
scandals,
In 2024,the Ministry of Education
began to intervene in the sick system of Entrance Examinations and issued
guidelines. Nearly three decades after the reports on the organised
smuggling of question Papers had surfaced, the crime continues unabated. Every
mechanism employed by the government to plug the leakage have been defeated by
effectively manipulating the loose ends, and by by now, the
whole circuitry became matured and grown beyond imaginable proportions
The government has to look back
and take cues from the CAB/CAA and the Farmers Agitation. The faces that
appeared in these agitations will have a different story to tell. It was
evident that these agitations were platforms for some vested interests to pump
their hatred and venom against the government in power. The outrage was
more against the people who voted the present government to power. Yet,
the government could not create a vibrant counter operative measure outside the
regime of conventional measures. The massive investments from the
farmers' agitation were a fight back to bring back the farm-based
lobbies and food market to take back the decision-making powers of electoral
politics. To some extent it became successful in reducing the steady growth of
BJP. The size and money power of the Coaching Industry cannot be ignored
and therefore, both these two have to be scaled upon.
The objective of creating a
procurement mechanism along the side lines of the MSP regime of FCI was resisted
by the farmer’s organisations in the most violent manner forcing the
Government to rescind from the act. It cannot be ignored that outside the
MSP regime, a strong and powerful market mechanism controls and regulates
the pricing system. Market driven price hike and food security of the
country has become a number game at the hands of these massive market
lobbies. Fate of the elections in the country was dictated by this lobby. By
2010, the corporate lobbies of India became powerful enough to assert their
interest with well-coordinated mechanisms to influence the electorate and to
set the score over the mandate. Fall of Manmohan Singh government and the
irrecoverable damage to the Congress Party was anticipated. The Congress
leadership harps on big corporate Houses of the country for the very
same reasons. With the concealed mechanisms of political turnarounds well
known to the Government, it would be a costly affair to put hands on the
Coaching Segment without adequate ground operations.
The question that the Government
has to address is whether the NEET and HSC Evaluation defects
were the reasons for the formation of CJP? For the second
time, from the United States a campaign was unleashed for political
destabilisation. India Against Corruption was the first collective
movement directly employing the Indian Diaspora for a shakeup of the
Indian State. So far , the Narendra Modi Government kept itself free from
any major corruption except those which could not be checked and continues
despite interventions. Question Paper leaks are such a situation. The Anna
Hazare movement was used as a shield to create political instability in the
country using the “internet Platform”. A massive task force
was aligned and landed in India for a campaign that was decisive in the
electoral turn out of Delhi. At that critical point. bringing Narendra Modi to
the central stage was an unexpected turn of events, which the perpetrators of
weakening India could not imagine. That was also the beginning of the
counteractive forces swinging into action.
The Internet has become an
integrating mechanism to destabilise and create political uncertainty in India.
The government has to think beyond cybercrimes and existing regulatory
frameworks including that of TRAI. A new form of Terrorism
has taken shape that uses the internet to identify antagonistic forces
against the government in power to wage an open war against the existing
government and the political system. When usual political campaigns and
freebies fail to win elections, the next stage is demolishing the
credibility of the electoral system. When the campaign against the mechanism of
election and theft of votes fails, the next mechanism would be to inflict
injury of a massive proportion to sensationalise the Youth. It is
at this point where the government has to dig further on the
operationalisation of the NEET and CBSE issues read with the campaign of
CJP from overseas. Can the Government rule out the new mechanism of
“stochastic terrorism” ?
The whole set back in India is
that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi does not address the Press and opine on
matters like his predecessors. The internet heads in the wait to unleash the
new form of terror fails to get the proper signal to unleash a communication
revolt. This time the remarks of the Chief Justice of India on
certain Youth are like “Cockroaches” was picked up to form the CJP with a
surge of over 20 million hits. It cannot be said to be a communication to do
good for the State, instead , it is to be seen as an extension of the
operations of radicalisation propagated by the fundamentalist Groups and
frontal bodies of terror outfits.
It is the time for the Government
to further look into the volume Youth disappearing in the country every
year. The numbers are quite high to nearly 80% after the Higher Secondary
results.
From all the Higher secondary
boards of all the states in India in 2025, over 1.305 crore and in . CBSE
board over 16.9 lac students appeared in 2025. Total Students
appearing in the 12th examinations throughout India is
approximately 1.307 crores.
A total of 1.2768 crores join
professional courses – MBBS, BDS, Paramedical, ANM, GNM, BSc Nursing,
Engineering, Polytechnics, Management, and Law. In all the universities
of the country nearly 34 lacs sought admission for general Courses of Graduation
in Arts, Science and commerce faculties. Putting all fragments together ,
total population total admissions to after 12th to various courses
in the country in 2025 would have been 4.2 crore students.
Where did this population surface
from? On an average, India needs to find placement for an average
of 1.8 crore professionals every year. All India Survey on Higher
Education Data draws back four years. The Government has to look
into the numbers that sink in the layers of the society who do not find any
place in the whole educational system. Such a situation breeds a large chunk of
crimes and subversive activities.
Our planners have to find answers
to certain questions. Can the country manage the population
with the present Land Use and Land Management?
What should the basis of
futuristic planning be?
India Should have the Planning
system integrated with the projected growth in the population. Exact
adult population that enters in electoral rolls should be corresponding to the
decadal population attaining 18 to 22 years after the previous General
elections. If the decadal population of Corresponding periods do not get
reflected in the electoral, everything in the country has gone wrong and will
go wrong. In a vague approximation , the electorate of India had to be
120 crores . Nearly 30 crores of people went missing in this country?
What is the actual population of
the country?

DISATERS IN POLITICS OR DISASTROUS POLITICS?
Disastrous
Politics:
Against the
Backdrop of Cockroach narratives that took off from the Chief Justice of
India, NEET and CBSE issues raised a serious question on the manner in
which the government is handling the situations.
It seems the North
Block could not reinvent the integrating mechanisms of the political
integration of new generation communication systems for the chaotic public
order shaping in the country. When alliances encounter failures for more than
one occasion, unpredictable eventualities are bound to happen. Those who are at
the helm of affairs handling various sensitive segments of governance had
loyalty towards their political affiliations out of power. The designs can be
to the extent of merciless public injuries to sensitive issues that can
create unrest in the younger generation, Trade and business
establishments of identical nature will be affected at several pockets that may
look as if accidental local accidents, but in a chain reaction it will have an
overall devastating effects in the economy.
The ruling
political party , if adopts Manmohan Singh policy of cooling heels when the
public ire fumes, it would be a sign of overconfidence, leading to
self-destruction .Before dissecting the Cockroach
Janata Party, the political observers should look at the real
picture of the two major political parties of the day.
Congress elected a Party President two years before
the 2024 General Elections as it did prior to 2019. Sashi Tharoor in his late
sixties and Octogenarian Mallikarjun Kharge became
ceremonially contested to democratise the electoral process.
Kharge had at times felt uneasy over the indiscipline
among the audience at his turn. Though he is the Party President, what
matters is the voice of Young Gandhi's. Mallikarjun Kharge had a long political
career in his home state Karnataka and at the Centre. He was a Cabinet Minister
and Leader of Opposition both at home and in the Rajya Sabha. Even if he
is ceremoniously holding the post of Congress President, he is a known figure
in the National Capital and rest of India.
The projected Prime Ministerial Candidate Rahul
Gandhi has been vigorously campaigning against the ruling BJP and
throwing his ire straight to the people. His thoughts, dialogue and action is
nor so far synchronised with the mindset of the people of the country in order
to uproot both BJP and the Prime Minister along with the soil they stand
on.
On the other side,
BJP became reduced to one and only central figure Narendra Modi. If an
average Karya Karta is asked about the President of the party-
majority in the country hardly knows. The pattern follows from the
takeover of the Chair from Rajnath Singh by Amit Shah. Till Rajnath
Singh, BJP presidents had a proven track record and working experience in
Parliamentary politics and strong presence in the central politics. The shift
to Amit Shah was seen to assert the control and authority of the Prime Minister
in the Party and Government. His successor JP Nadda was drawn from
Himachal Pradesh, and was moulded into the fold of the Modi -Shah camps.
As the National President of the ruling party at the centre, he could not use
his cult to save the party from a big loss in the 2022 elections in his
home state. Elevating Nitin Nabin , from remoteness of
localized politics to chair the party at the national level, sounded
as if the BJP is rolling out a Sand Box Experiment in
leadership strategy.
Power Behind the
Throne has been an unquestioned political mystery of India, so far could
not be properly reconstructed. Beyond doubt. The concept has roots in the
political manoeuvring that emerged from the spying over the movements of
Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose in Germany. The political fate of India changed
from the Indian Information Bureau and the concealed Soviet interventions of
Stalinist regime to opt for Socialist political leaders of independent
India. The model was duplicated in 1965 by the “Goongi Gudiya” and culminated
in the 1969 split in congress. “Goongi” to “Goonga” followed the course of
disintegration of the order in Congress. Then, the Power centre of India
looked as if in a Trapped State which resounded 7 Race Course Road as
more or less an identical phenomenon near to the Asymptotic Theory
in Physics. At that point of time. any Political Party surfacing with
a leader who has a powerful voice would have run over the
electorate to emerge as the Prime Minister.
Emergence of
Narendra Modi cannot be attributed solely to Hindu Consolidation or mandate for
Hindutva, instead , it was a frustrated India that brought him to
the helm of affairs.
Rahul Gandhi, nicknamed Pappu, launched Academic Lectures abroad following the course of Lecture Tour campaigns of his grandmother. .
Irrespective of
the strings pulled by the media alignments what matters would be the
reciprocal behaviour of the leaders of various parties.
A new beginning
was set into motion when the Congress Party took a dramatic step to the
leadership from Sita Ram Kesari to Sonia Gandhi, soon after the general
elections of 1998. The poor performance of the Congress party was a serious
setback. The party went by the general notion of Popularity of the Party
President as the key factor in electoral dominance. Atal Bihari Vajpayee
emerged as the NDA leader and took over as the Prime Minister within four days
after the leadership change in the Congress Party. In the next elections, BJP
projected LK Advani as the Prime Minister material pitted against the Congress
President though the party kept silence over the Prime minister if
the Party cleared the deck. There were certain deep rooted regional sentiments
in the influential states that was inherited during the Pre independence days,
which decided the fate of BJP.
The Vajpayee
Government was one of the best governments till then, and had put
India into a new track and orientation in economic growth, international
relations and conflict management. Yet, the defeat of the party was not
properly assessed.
It would be
improper to agree with the political observers on the consolidation of
Hindu votes as the key factor for the mandate of BJP. From the
nearly 25% vote share in 1998, within the next 12 to 13
years, Manmohan Singh Government created a frustrated Indian Public. A weak
Prime Minister and Force of Power presented political
weakness and suffocation, with corruption and modesty of women
rising public disorder.
The Congress had
to fight back. The party failed to read the colour change in the societal
fabric. An adverse campaign in 2014 opened up the dialogue between Hindutva and
Hinduism. Unprecedented assertions by Manmohan Singh send a different message.
If the projected BJP candidate Narendra Modi had won, the reaction of a
generation would strike the chord and mainstream India would fall into the fold
of Hindutva.
Again, the
Congress returned to the 1998 strategy of changing the President of the Party.
Towards the end of 2017 , Rahul Gandhi was elected as the President of the
party., He sounded a new dynamism to counter BJP and the command Narendra
Modi enjoyed in the country and abroad. “They defame; we respect
and defend” idealism of Rahul Gandhi could succeed to reinvent the Congress as
a “grand old young Party” is a different aspect of Indian Politics.
The Party elected an Octogenarian as the
President, Mallikarjun Kharge. However, situations did not end up
as with that of Jitendra Prasada who gave a challenge to Sonia Gandhi in
2000. She continued for 17 years till her son inherited the
position, with no rival candidate. He vacated the chair after the party was
decimated in the 2019 elections. However, it can be said that Rahul
Gandhi too has adopted Manmohan Singh -Sonia Gandhi relations in
his relations with Kharge. The old school theory of reclining politics surfaced
and Rahul Gandhi made an effort to draw the party workers and sympathisers back
to the streets and formed a new political front. Though the 2024 elections
could make some difference, the I N DI front remained as a leadership folly
with no mass base, a repeat of VP Singhs Janata Dal experiment of 1989.
The 'Love
Shop" of Rahul Gandhi may be mocked and decried. The reality is that the
love shop has sold candies of hatred against Narendra Modi and Amit Shah.
From a massive mall, the trading of love finally became reduced to Kiosks and
in small pockets/ The cry of loss of jobs, opportunities and large-scale
migration abroad has become an antagonistic campaign against the Modi
Government. His sharp attacks on the economic situation of India cannot
be taken as an amusement piece for the ruling BJP. It trickles deep into
the unsatisfied and unemployed youth who cannot look for anything beyond
“Service for Jobs”. In between the frequent attacks on Theft of Votes-
Vote Chori sounds as a sweeter candy thrown to the public. His words are
finely crafted and calculated as he calls the situation an “Economic Storm”.
It is time for the BJP to keep their feet firm, watchful of the overall situation. Every mechanism operated by the opposition could not overthrow the government or score in the election. India has a reluctant population prone to self destruction with enough potential to create chaos at any point of time. So far the impact could create disruption in some states for different issues. Every effort is made to bring it to the fore on a national agenda after the success in Nepal and Bangladesh. Only road block against such an experiment is the presence of RSS. Situations like that of Hathras. Immediately after BJP gained power, a weakened congress, secured the background settings for radical Muslim outfits ton exploit the space created by the Dalit Consolidation. At the time of the 2024 elections it was clear that “Continuity for a third term has a lot of intricacies. It cannot be a straight election. Big powers are opposed to India having a powerful political leadership. The decisions of Narendra Modi in the matters of Defence Preparedness, Make in India and most importantly, the change in the mindset of the upcoming generations is unprecedented and is not welcome for those who envy the economic growth of India. Narendra Modi - JP Nadda combine seem to have a campaign strategy to overcome the stake of international interests in the political decision making of India. The Cards are open in the game plan. Will it make it difficult to have an anti BJP Front in reality? All parties will try to keep their score intact , rather than throwing the mantle to Congress.” (FB 11 Feb 2024) .
Choice of Party Presidents , Key Functionaries and Chief Ministers and Cabinet Ministers holding key portfolios should be based on popularity and their affluent language to address the crowd. As and when they handle serious and sensitive matters, general public and the opposition party leaders should get a sense of gravity and grip in their words, Convincing the people even the wrong as the right, buying time and douse the fire and rage of a provocative situation has to be the calibre of the Ministers in any Government. If the Chief Minister is to take the call for every matter and the Prime Minister is the only one who the people would like to hear, such political leaderships would be nothing less than power centric.
In the NEET and CBSE issues, the Union Minister of Education could not be convincing. Transferring CBSE Head and ordering high level investigations are routine ways of handling by a frozen inactive government . The Ministers have to be bold to ask the people to proceed on leave and suspend them, adopt corrective measures and physical presence to the concerned offices for verification are anticipated by the people. It is where a senior Party President steps in and if needed ask the minister to step down and recommend the matters to the Prime Minister. The situation here is that after Rajnath Singh , BJP do not seem to have a proactive Party President.
On the Other side , the Congress High Command , that
was the hope for the party in a crisis time proved to be fatally
indecisive. The decision on the Chief Minister of Keralam was delayed for more
than what could be expected . Rahul Gandhi failed to assert his
command to appoint his trusted aide KC Venugopal. It was said that Priyanka
Gandhi had intervened and she decided on VD Satheesan as the CLP leader. Other
side of the emotional wave sent across was the involvement of Muslim
League. Rahul Gandhi abandoned Wayanad Constituency and is in his ancestral
bastion playing a safe card. Priyanka is from Wayanad and she has to listen to
the large mass base of Muslim population of her Constituency. Whether the
realities are the same or not , the rumour mills have its own impact.
Immediately as the situation in Keralam was put
to rest, the State of Karnataka came under political turmoil. The twists and
turns finally saw the elevation of DKS to the stage.
The Ruling BJP government need not have to ring alarm
bells on the virtual reality of a digital political venture. The second term of
Narendra Modi Government was not at all palatable to the Opposition parties.
There should have been certain cautious steps, measures and changes within the
party and its top leadership. The signals were strong for an innings defeat of
the Modi Government in the 2024 General elections. The return of Narendra Modi
to stay back at 7 LK Marg marked the beginning of a new political
engineering to raze down the splendour of the Prime Minister as a
nationalist and his agenda of Economic transformation as global leader.
Any political leader of a third world
country venture to formulate an economic design that poses any threat to
the stability of the Super powers, all those leaders will be either brought down or
eliminated. There are only a few leaders who challenged the Supremacies and
survived, but all cannot. IF BJP failed to understand the basic Doctrine
interventionism, it can only be said to be “unfortunate”.

SABARI MALA 3: BEYOND THE RELIGION SABARI PEEDTHAM
SABARI PEEDHTAM 3
Sabarimala - A question of Law or Logical considerations.
The contentions here may not be acceptable in the context of invariant principles and procedures of law. It is not certain whether Constitutionalism is open the law of invariance as it encounters in some physical systems. Law is subject to the process of interpretation drawing inferences taking into consideration the shifts and drifts in the societal values with respect to time and place.
The Fifth, Sixth and
Schedules have the operational mechanisms that address the variance factor. The non obstante clauses and specifications
like ‘Subject to the provisions in this constitution “ and “special to” strike the variance according the people
place, territory and the powers therein.
Can such a variance be
taken into consideration in the context of Sabarimala ?
The President of India Draupadi
Murmu stepped into Sabarimala Sannidhanam on 22nd October 2025. She followed the mandatory customs to set
foot on the holy Eighteen Steps.
What does it mean in the
context of matter that is being debated by
a larger bench of the Supreme
Court of India.
Not said in the law, or
explained in the ambit of constitutionality, the Head of the State, the President of India as and when steps
in to any premise of the constitutional dispute, it should naturally imply that, the President of India has occupied the
field. Once the President of India, occupies a field , it
becomes a void space for the Parliament, or Judiciary and the executive to have deliberations and
arbitrations. Therefore, it should imply
that all the question raised on the customs and practices of the temple and its premises under the provisions of the Article 26 in its
entirety is laid to rest.
While some of the customs
and practices are examined by the Nine Judges
Bench, the president, by entering into the
same premises would essentially carry an
inverse direction to the
effect of Article 143 of the Constitution of India which otherwise would have
meant the power of the president for Judicial reference. Even if it is not said or meant, the entry of the President in the premises directly
conveys to the Judiciary that the president
is in agreement and satisfied with the
customs and Practices in the matter, and let it remain so, without any
interventions. A loud message to the entire constitutional machinery to keep
fingers off from the premises.
The decision of the
President to visit Sabarimala was
announced well in advance, the Judiciary had ample time to look into the
whole matter, and to see if it has any probable repercussions on the
operationalisation of the Judicial process in process, and to give an advice to
the President not to occupy the “Field held
by the Court”. Powers between the
President and the Judiciary would
naturally accrue and acquire the stature of
“Extrapolatory Reciprocity”,
which is to be understood, as it is a unwritten
phraseology in the constitution, wherein, the President of India,
instead of issuing any direction opted to “Act as a Constitutional Barrier” to
avert a cultural erasure Judicial intervention. The President of India is not
merely the Constitutional head of the Country,
as the parliament being provided with amending powers, the president
perpetually is the constitutive
head, with the potential power to apply” Situational Discretion to avert a situation ‘ that can appear to be of the nature of legal
imperialism.
Before considering any legal
or political matters on
Sabarimala, matters should not be confined within the limited
context of guarantees and provisions to
the Hindu Temple.
The Premises called Sannidhaanam, as mentioned
earlier is the Sabari Peedtham and was
originally Dattatreya Pedtham, which existed much before the temple and
the presiding deities are venerated. Dattatreya
is the Guru of the lineages of 18 Siddhas, who patronised 18 Hills of the Paschimadri,
or the Western Ghats. We do not have
written historical accounts or evidences on the matters concerned with the
Siddhas and Rishis. They are
non-existent Persons in physical form, but continue to be the invisible Gurus,
Yogeeswaras, Guru Murthis and Brahma swaroopis for the Siddhas. In the case of Sabari Peedham and
Sannidhanam, to decide on the questions on the admission of females during
their fertile period is Swami Ayyappan,
who is in the ethereal form, who is
lively and living experience for those who follow the practices true to heart
and spirit.
The Constitution of India
has a holistic consideration of the religious base of the country. India is not
yet a nation, but a country. The Constitution of India is silent on the characteristic
features concerned with the nature of the very formation of the Indian citizen. A geophysical region that
gave enlightenment of Knowledge to world several millennia before a major part
of the world had opened the eyes, cannot be left within phraseologies and
terminologies of constitutional and current political wisdom. It falls outside the political ideology and conventional
thought of leadership who have translated
the bed rock principles of our
democratic polity into an organised egalitarian state. It raises pertinent questions on the basic
characteristic of Indianness when confronted with contradictions with the intricacies
of cultural and traditional traits, the same would act as tentacles of societal disorder. It
widens differences between various demographic segments on account
of shifts in the societal paradigms with
respect to parliamentary considerations
and interpretations of the Judiciary.
The general Public of
India, then with negligible literacy and education on administrative and legal implications of
the new constitutionalism, had and have no idea on where all they needed to make
amendments in their daily and customary affairs that have bearing on their community and societal life.
In a
negligibly politically conscious and illiterate society on legal and
administrative considerations, a law enforced cannot be a law of common good. It is true that every law, while being made
as a bill do not essentially mean that it will have the will and approval of
the electorate by virtue of the mandate to the legislators. The elected member to a law-making house is not merely a
representative by the virtue and
strength of Representation Act. State
Legislative Assemblies or the Parliament,
as the case may be. every member of the
respective house has the unsaid responsibility and accountability to detail
the people of their respective
constituencies on the details, including its application, merits, demerits and Impact in day-to-day life, societal inter
relationships and overall, in the public order.
Due to the very reasons, such
steps are sparingly taken by the legislators, India could not be a
constitutionally conscious state. Also,
equally, the members of the law-making houses are to be fully aware of the
customs and practices of the People including the communities , castes and
tribes living in their constituency.
Any legal question or conflict arising from the customary laws and practices of the people
or their religious places of worship, the
Parliament member and the legislative Assembly members are to present
their views and opinion and their
contentions would have to be final.
Yet, India has a
limitation. The customs traditions and practices of the demographic segment
called the Hindus are not uniform throughout the country and are not codified.
Every region and locale has developed their own practices. Devotional practice is person and family
specific and cannot be imposed. Every Hindu family and tribe in Kerala has a
presiding deity of the Family in the :Kudumba Kshetram and a Kula Devata”. Most
places have oracles , the symbolic agency of the main deity. Even if a presiding deity is venerated by Trantricism
and Agama Sidhaanta, the power of the
presiding deity will be imbibed from the temple fo Origin called “Moola Kshetra
“ and “ Moola Staana”.
Great Temples of India that have
as Siddha -Shakti - Peedths cannot be restricted or limited to the consideration of
religious institution falling in line
with the Provisions of Article 26 to execute the right of the persons according
to the conscience to profess and practice religion and to bring those under the
ambit of the Public Order , morality and health. Though the elite schools of religious centres
of Sanatanis can claim their Vedic scholasticism, they are based on Sadhna ,
upasana and pooja, and other rituals. The traditions have evolved the implication
of Vedaahi Yajjnaartham abhi Pravartha “, (वेदाहि
यज्जनार्थंम अभि प्रवरता
).
Temples do not surface anywhere in the picture, till the time Atharva
Vedic schools innovated Grihya Sootras.
A systematic development of human faculty developments conjoined the intermediary system of binding
communities with the dedicated seats
of Sidha Yogeeswaras, The simple form
of worship took shape, with the Brahminical segment drawing Shilpa sastra with
Yajjna and developing Agama Systems.
The complex system is beyond the scope of Governmental
laws and Jurisprudence on the basis of
political laws. In the indigenous
context of India , to day, the country knows only about 4 Adi Sakti Peedtha and 18 others included in
the total of 51 . India has 64 Yogini Peedths.
Sidha Peedths of India is
known somewhere as Jjnaa Kunjam ( GyanGunj).
Except a few , these Peedths are
never marked or identifiable., but recognizable to Siddhas. Sabari Peedth has also the Ashram of Siddha YoGini Sabari and is the only Sidha ashrama known to
exist outside the Himalayas. Siddha Ashrama is the place of Siddhi, Mukti,
Nirvana and kaivalya, and the complete metamorphosis of a YoGi into cosmic
unison, which are beyond the scope of erudite scholasticism,
Can the Constitutional
laws be extended to regulate a Siddhi Peedth ?
A
Siddhi Peedth is ineffable above
the definitions ascribed to that of
religious places or that of a temple.
The successors of the Siddha lineages
who are the custodians of the premises are
bound to uphold the sanctity and
reverence, by observing laid down procedures and practices. It may not be
mandatory that Siddhas are consanguineous successors of genetic descend. Siddhas
of the same trait and esoterism may emerge after decades or centuries.
It seems that the basic
difference between the constitutionality of the political Government and the
Political State have not taken into account to the extent it could have been on
the dimensions of Systems and Practices that have become diversified into devotion, worship of God and later grouped into a single Religion called
the ‘Hindu”. The Hindu in the Indian context cannot be equated or compared
with religions centred around prophesies
and revelations. Hindu is not limited to
devotion, worship, Murty Upasana or Tantrism.
Centres of Devotion and worship hold
the key and are the milestones in societal transitions designed to cater to the
needs of the general public. Such
premises of worship, the temples, the Kshetram do not fall under same considerations as that
of the Siddhi Peedths.
Religion is not a subject
of the political process and the mandate exercised by the electorate. Votes are not cast according to the religious beliefs and faiths. The Citizens of
the country withholds and vests within themselves their religious beliefs,
faiths , practices , customs and tenets while
casting the vote. The mandate in no way confers the power to the elected representative to divulge
any such powers to the judiciary to interpret or decide over the religious
practices, procedures, customs, beliefs and
matters incidental to thereof . Otherwise, the Political Parties will have to declare their policy approach on any religious matter
in their agenda.
The question on religion and
religious premises become a political and legal question as and when such institutions act as power centres that mounting
pressure on the government or supersedes the delegated powers of the
legislature to act according to their tune and dictum. There can be situations where
religious institutions unleash adverse campaigns, questions or commentaries
that creates unrest or act as irritant to the Governments and other religions or sects
which may lead to sociopolitical disorder.
Those silent and non-intrusive religious practices that have no bearing in the society, yet, have
been continuing for decades or
centuries, if picked up by some individuals groups to point out inconsistencies
with the constitutionality, it would lead to disruptions continuity of these
systems. Those who challenge such systems cannot leave their contentions in the
open for the entire spectrum of legal fraternity to dissect and find anomalies. Where the understanding fails, there the
values are lost. What one cannot conceive and accept as a practical reality of anything that cannot be visibly expressed
or found in physical form do not mean that those aspects are irrelevant and
cannot be allowed to be practised.
Matters and elements which had come into existence centuries before
the concept of religion and worship had taken its origin cannot be constricted
to the limited space of Religion. The elementary principles of cosmic
interrelationships and the practices that establish unison with the centric
force of the cosmos, have imposed certain restrictions and conditions for those
who desire to be in that order. That is where the Siddha Ashrama Dharma is positioned. The ultimate salvation ,
moksha and nirvana fall within the ambit
of Siddha Ashrama next stage after the siddhi Peedth. All the sampradayas or traditions in the mainland India, what is considered to be
the foundations of the religion of Hinduism
have originated from such Asramas where the intellect, knowledge, wisdom
and the understanding constitute the
core faculty of Rishism. India does not
have Saints and Sainthood, we have Sages
Constitutional morality cannot be used as a weapon to encroach into the domain of a system of practice that had been continuing from an unknown period of time. It would remain as a pointer to the Political system of the country as and when encroaches into the matters of faith and beliefs that the society interprets it as a challenge to morality and religious rights. The state can regulate practices offensive to the democratic socialist polity which are detrimental to the terms of contemporary political realities. The Faith, beliefs, customs and mannerism of the Communities act as a barrier to restrict the penetration of political law .
