India Has Gone From "Hindu To Hindutva Growth Rate": BJP MP Slams Congress

Weighing in on India’s growth rate during a debate on the state of the national economy amid the prevailing global challenges in the Rajya Sabha on Day 2 of the ongoing Winter Session of Parliament, BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi on Tuesday said the country’s robust GDP numbers reflect the “growth rate of Hindutva”.

In a veiled dig at the previous Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government at the Centre, Mr Trivedi said the Indian economy was striving to go beyond 2 per cent, which was jokingly labelled as the “Hindu rate of growth”.

Addressing the Upper House during the discussion on the economy, the BJP MP said, “With respect to the Indian economy, I am being reminded of the days when the country was under Congress rule. Our country was made fun of back in those days and it was said, in a jocular vein, that our economy couldn’t grow beyond 2 per cent. It was ridiculed as the ‘Hindu Growth Rate’.”

Drawing a parallel between the state of the national economy in the Congress years to what it is in the present day, Mr Trivedi said, “However, since the country came to be led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, our economy has been reaching new heights. The country is on the path to progress. at 7.8 per cent, we now have the highest growth rate among all the major economies of the world. Those who have a problem with the word ‘Hindutva’ are the same people, who were happy with a two per cent ‘Hindu Growth Rate’. Now it is no more a ‘Hindu Growth Rate’ but a ‘Hindutva Growth Rate’. Now, the people (who are in power) have faith in Hindutva,” the BJP MP added.

Crediting the forward strides of the national economy to Prime Minister Modi’s leadership, Mr Trivedi said, “There is a tsunami in the entire world economy in which big countries such as America and China are struggling and those like Sri Lanka and Pakistan are battling to keep their heads above the water. However, even in the midst of this Tsunami, the captain of our ship Prime Minister Narendra Modi is holding us rock-steady and resilient and leading us forward.”

Reinforcing his ‘Hindutva growth’ argument, he added that India’s fastest growth rate coincides with the ‘pran prathistha’ of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya next month.

Hindu Growth Rate पर ये क्या बोल गए रघुराम राजन, इससे देश को किन चुनौतियों का सामना करना होगा?

भारतीय रिजर्व बैंक (RBI) के पूर्व गवर्नर रघुराम राजन ने निजी क्षेत्र के निवेश में कमी, उच्च ब्जाज दरों और वैश्विक वृध्दि की सुस्त पड़ती स्पीड को देखते हुए कहा कि भारत निम्न वृध्दि वाली हिंदू वृध्दि दर (Hindu Growth Rate) के बेहद करीब पहुंच गया है।

भारतीय अर्थव्यवस्��ा की वृध्दि दर 1950 से लेकर 1980 के दशक तक चार फीसदी के निम्न स्तर पर रही थी, जिसे ‘हिंदू वृध्दि दर’ (Hindu Growth Rate) भी कहा जाता है।

धीमी वृध्दि के लिए ‘हिंदू वृध्दि दर’ (Hindu Growth Rate) शब्दावली का इस्तेमाल 1978 में भारतीय अर्थशास्त्री राज कृष्ण ने किया था।

पूर्व गवर्नर ने ये कहा (Hindu Growth Rate)

राजन के अनुसार, राष्ट्रीय सांख्यकीय कार्यालय ने पिछले महीने राष्ट्रीय आय के जो अनुमान जारी किए हैं, उनसे तिमाही वृध्दि में क्रमिक नरमी के संकेत मिलते हैं, जो चिंता का विषय है।

NSO के अनुसार, चालू वित्त वर्ष की तिमाही में सकल घरेलू उत्पाद की वृध्दि दर घटकर 4.4 फीसदी रह गई, जो दूसरी तिमाही में 6.3 फीसदी और पहली तिमाही में 13.2 फीसदी थी। पिछले वित्त वर्ष की तीसरी तिमाही में वृध्दि दर 5.2 प्रतिशत रहा था।

राजन ने “पीटीआई-भाषा” को ईमेल के माध्यम से दिए गए एक साक्षात्कार में कहा, ” आशावादी निश्चित ही पिछले GDP आंकड़ों में किए गए सुधार की बात करेंगे, लेकिन मैं क्रमिक नरमी को लेकर चिंतित हूं।

इतनी वृध्दि दर को बताया सही

निजी क्षेत्र निवेश करने के लिए इच्छुक नहीं है, RBI ब्याज दरों में वृध्दि करता जा रहा है और वैश्विक वृध्दि के आने वाले वक्त में धीमे होने की आशंका है। (Hindu Growth Rate)

अक्टूबर-दिसंबर के जीडीपी आंकड़े बताते हैं कि साल की पहली छमाही में वृध्दि कमजोर होगी। उन्होंने कहा मेरी आशंकाएं बेवजह नहीं हैं। आरबीआई ने तो चालू वित्त वर्ष की अंतिम तिमाही में और भी कम 4.2 प्रतिशत की वृध्दि तीन साल पहले की तुलना में 3.7 प्रतिशत है।

Muslim Religion in India - Statewise Census 2011 to 2023 - Census 2023

The population Growth rate of various religions has come down in the last decade (2001-2011). Hindu Population Growth rate slowed down to 16.76 % from the previous decade's figure of 19.92% while Muslim witness a sharp fall in growth rate to 24.60% (2001-2011) from the previous figure of 29.52 % (1991-2001). Such a sharp fall in the population growth rate for Muslims didn't happen in the last 6 decades. Christian Population growth was at 15.5% while the Sikh population growth rate stood at 8.4%. The most educated and wealthy community of Jains registered the least growth rate in 2001-2011 with a figure of just 5.4%.

The Growth rate of Hindus, Muslims, and Christians is expected to fall more in the upcoming 2021 census while other religions like Sikhism, Jainism, and Buddism are expected to remain stable for the next 2 decades considering the already slowed-down growth rate of these religions.

The Solar Trinity The sun, as supreme among the celestial bodies visible to the astronomers of antiquity, was assigned to the highest of the gods and became symbolic of the supreme authority of the Creator Himself. From a deep philosophic consideration of the powers and principles of the sun has come the concept of the Trinity as it is understood in the world today. The tenet of a Triune Divinity is not peculiar to Christian or Mosaic theology, but forms a conspicuous part of the dogma of the greatest religions of both ancient and modern times. The Persians, Hindus, Babylonians, and Egyptians had their Trinities. In every instance these represented the threefold form of one Supreme Intelligence. In modern Masonry, the Deity is symbolized by an equilateral triangle, its three sides representing the primary manifestations of the Eternal One who is Himself represented as a tiny flame, called by the Hebrews Yod (י). Jakob Böhme, the Teutonic mystic, calls the Trinity The Three Witnesses, by means of which the Invisible is made known to the visible, tangible universe.

The origin of the Trinity is obvious to anyone who will observe the daily manifestations of the sun. This orb, being the symbol of all Light, has three distinct phases: rising, midday, and setting. The philosophers therefore divided the life of all things into three distinct parts: growth, maturity, and decay. Between the twilight of dawn and the twilight of evening is the high noon of resplendent glory. God the Father, the Creator of the world, is symbolized by the dawn. His color is blue, because the sun rising in the morning is veiled in blue mist. God the Son he Illuminating One sent to bear witness of His Father before all the worlds, is the celestial globe at noonday, radiant and magnificent, the maned Lion of Judah, the Golden-haired Savior of the World. Yellow is His color and His power is without end. God the Holy Ghost is the sunset phase, when the orb of day, robed in flaming red, rests for a moment upon the horizon line and then vanishes into the darkness of the night to wandering the lower worlds and later rise again triumphant from the embrace of darkness.

To the Egyptians the sun was the symbol of immortality, for, while it died each night, it rose again with each ensuing dawn. Not only has the sun this diurnal activity, but it also has its annual pilgrimage, during which time it passes successively through the twelve celestial houses of the heavens, remaining in each for thirty days. Added to these it has a third path of travel, which is called the precession of the equinoxes, in which it retrogrades around the zodiac through the twelve signs at the rate of one degree every seventy-two years.

Concerning the annual passage of the sun through the twelve houses of the heavens, Robert Hewitt Brown, 32°, makes the following statement: "The Sun, as he pursued his way among these 'living creatures' of the zodiac, was said, in allegorical language, either to assume the nature of or to triumph over the sign he entered. The sun thus became a Bull in Taurus, and was worshipped as such by the Egyptians under the name of Apis, and by the Assyrians as Bel, Baal, or Bul. In Leo the sun became a Lion-slayer, Hercules, and an Archer in Sagittarius. In Pisces, the Fishes, he was a fish--Dagon, or Vishnu, the fish-god of the Philistines and Hindoos."

A careful analysis of the religious systems of pagandom uncovers much evidence of the fact that its priests served the solar energy and that their Supreme Deity was in every case this Divine Light personified. Godfrey Higgins, after thirty years of inquiry into the origin of religious beliefs, is of the opinion that "All the Gods of antiquity resolved themselves into the solar fire, sometimes itself as God, or sometimes an emblem or shekinah of that higher principle, known by the name of the creative Being or God."

The Egyptian priests in many of their ceremonies wore the skins of lions, which were symbols of the solar orb, owing to the fact that the sun is exalted, dignified, and most fortunately placed in the constellation of Leo, which he rules and which was at one time the keystone of the celestial arch. Again, Hercules is the Solar Deity, for as this mighty hunter performed his twelve labors, so the sun, in traversing the twelve houses of the zodiacal band, performs during his pilgrimage twelve essential and benevolent labors for the human race and for Nature in general, Hercules, like the Egyptian priests, wore the skin of a lion for a girdle. Samson, the Hebrew hero, as his name implies, is also a solar deity. His fight with the Nubian lion, his battles with the Philistines, who represent the Powers of Darkness, and his memorable feat of carrying off the gates of Gaza, all refer to aspects of solar activity. Many of the ancient peoples had more than one solar deity; in fact, all of the gods and goddesses were supposed to partake, in part at least, of the sun's effulgence.

The golden ornaments used by the priestcraft of the various world religions are again a subtle reference to the solar energy, as are also the crowns of kings. In ancient times, crowns had a number of points extending outward like the rays of the sun, but modern conventionalism has, in many cases, either removed the points or else bent: them inward, gathered them together, and placed an orb or cross upon the point where they meet. Many of the ancient prophets, philosophers, and dignitaries carried a scepter, the upper end of which bore a representation of the solar globe surrounded by emanating rays. All the kingdoms of earth were but copies of the kingdoms of Heaven, and the kingdoms of Heaven were best symbolized by the solar kingdom, in which the sun was the supreme ruler, the planets his privy council, and all Nature the subjects of his empire.

Many deities have been associated with the sun. The Greeks believed that Apollo, Bacchus, Dionysos, Sabazius, Hercules, Jason, Ulysses, Zeus, Uranus, and Vulcan partook of either the visible or invisible attributes of the sun. The Norwegians regarded Balder the Beautiful as a solar deity, and Odin is often connected with the celestial orb, especially because of his one eye. Among the Egyptians, Osiris, Ra, Anubis, Hermes, and even the mysterious Ammon himself had points of resemblance with the solar disc. Isis was the mother of the sun, and even Typhon, the Destroyer, was supposed to be a form of solar energy. The Egyptian sun myth finally centered around the person of a mysterious deity called Serapis. The two Central American deities, Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl, while often associated with the winds, were also undoubtedly solar gods.

In Masonry the sun has many symbols. One expression of the solar energy is Solomon, whose name SOL-OM-ON is the name for the Supreme Light in three different languages. Hiram Abiff, the CHiram (Hiram) of the Chaldees, is also a solar deity, and the story of his attack and murder by the Ruffians, with its solar interpretation, will be found in the chapter The Hiramic Legend. A striking example of the important part which the sun plays in the symbols and rituals of Freemasonry is given by George Oliver, D.D., in his Dictionary of Symbolical Masonry, as follows:

"The sun rises in the east, and in the east is the place for the Worshipful Master. As the sun is the source of all light and warmth, so should the Worshipful Master enliven and warm the brethren to their work. Among the ancient Egyptians the sun was the symbol of divine providence." The hierophants of the Mysteries were adorned with many. insignia emblematic of solar power. The sunbursts of gilt embroidery on the back of the vestments of the Catholic priesthood signify that the priest is also an emissary and representative of Sol Invictus. --Secret Teachings of All Ages: The Sun, A Universal Deity

237不止没有改进236，还他妈的直接... //CH237 did not improve CH236. In fact, it fucking—

Spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen CH237.

Damn. This chapter blows as a belated Gojo fan. Also blows as a character-work fan. Or a "surprise me with an interesting and creative maneuver after the last chapter" fan. I should be glad I didn't inhale dangerous amounts of copium last week beyond small doses and hope.

You know what feels like the point of JJK as of this writing? "Be an asshole, or lose." Megumi ain't an asshole, is he? So there you go. He kept getting punished. Bruh had been an L magnet for a while now for sure, but at CH237 you can reasonably believe he's in that same afterlife airport in yet another offscreen death. At this rate JJK is gonna feel like a fundamentalist/millennialist Christian talking point: "This life on Earth is shit. You can only hope for salvation in the afterlife. No point trying to fight suffering while living; no point dreaming about improvement. True happiness only exists after you die... In God's Kingdom Gojo's airport, mai furrendo. Until Sukuna Reality-cut through even the afterlife, that is."

Megumi had a lot of characterization early on, man. He's got an interesting psychology, legitimate mental growth, a self-ish goal revolving around Tsumiki, a selfless goal revolving around his definition of being a jujutsu sorcerer, a dynamic of interesting potentials between himself and Yuji + himself and Satoru + himself and Tsumiki + himself and the Zenin clan (or whatever's left of it), and a canonically busted technique. We would have been so stoked to see what Megumi himself could do with Ten Shadows, especially when it's said to rival the Gojo clan's Limitless.

Instead, when the 10 Shadow vs. Limitless fight happened, it was Sukuna who demonstrated how good it was, not the young hero we're rooting to master it. And now comes CH237 and Sukuna's like, "Yea, this technique was just an Anti-Gojo move so I can forget this now that he's 2.5jo. Bye Megumi's L Magnet body! Bye Megumi's soul; thanks for tanking Unlimited Void that one time! MAGICAL GIRL TRANSFORMATION SEQUENCE! BELIEVIX, SO MAGICAL!"

Was the whole point of Megumi's existence just to erase Satoru? Were all those previous hints to Megumi's character development and psychology just haphazard salad dressings?

And man. Because I'm, indeed, a Gojo fan, what really bummed me out is this growing realization: Satoru seemingly still dead right now really lends substance to people who said he's the single-most stupidest loser in this story ever. He has never made any right choice, has he? Even his insistence on not executing Yuji, which was framed to be a move for a noble cause back then (I'll die on this hill; I really can't see it as a self-motivating cause no matter how some people might like to paint it), is now seen as a stupid choice that doomed the future because of how much the villains are winning right now (while the strongest guy on the good guys' side is chilling with "no regrets" in an afterlife airport).

You'd at least hope that Satoru managed to introduce some permanent damage to Sukuna for the rest of the camp. Lose the battle, win the war. But apparently, from the looks of it, that didn't last. Sukuna magical-girled into his Second Stage Boss form. It's reasonable that his brain just got renewed from this, which means Malevolent Shrine may be back on the table already. And any (meager) damage Satoru had left on him from their fight is just wiped clean. Bruh even has his dumbbell-looking weapon (it's actually a legit weapon in Hindu myth if I recall correctly, though what exactly is the name slipped my mind this time) now.

Hell, that simp Uraume is still alive and kicking. Satoru didn't even offscreen that annoying twerp with his 200% Hollow Purple at the beginning of the fight. Now Uraume is presumably acting out those Gamble God(赌神) Chinese New Year Hong Kong movies with Hakari up there in the sky.

Honestly Gojo Satoru, are you sure you were the strongest at all? Or have you just been subjected to that old Chuck Norris meme, where tales of Chuck Norris being "the strongest" in the most ridiculous ways possible spread among people—except in your case, everyone including yourself believed it? 'Cause man, the story disrespects you so hard now.

Oh, and don't bother looking for Satoru's body among the rubble. Nor bother with the cast's emotional reaction. No Yuji, no Yuta, no nobody except Kashimo and Hakari. Some said this might allude to a background event—maybe Satoru is being patched up in the background as we speak, ya know?

But I don't know. It's just... better not to expect anything at this point. Better not to cook unless the intention is to write fanfics and what-ifs for yourself or your community. I do neither of those things, so I don't wanna try cooking at all. "Nekkhamma", man. Non-attachment is the better frame of mind by this point.

Still gonna stick with JJK though because hey, I still wanna evaluate things when it's all said and done. I'm not gonna try persuading my best friend into seeing it with me when Season 3 comes, though. Her fav is Nanami and she's only interested in Satoru because of me. By this metric, there's no point in having her stick around past her personal interests. She's not even one who likes pointless tragedies nor is she wanting of shows to watch, aye, Fionn?

Sukuna fans can rejoice, though. He reclaims the form Sukuna fans wanted to see for years! And he's more powerful than ever and is indisputably the King of Curses very likely riding into a non-airport style victory (unless Kenjaku screws him). In addition to being the strongest and poetic (that's the character depth non-Sukuna fans like myself missed at our peril, I suppose), he's—by his admission—an unwanted child with a hint of him "working to become the strongest" (this has been a pretty persistent fanon for a while now. Just need a confirmation.). He also doesn't know "love." And thinks everyone else is trash. There are some genuinely interesting possibilities to speculate about his background based on the breadcrumbs provided CH237 though. I wonder if the conjoined twin theory is true!

Hey, Gege? If you're transitioning Jujutsu Kaisen to Sukuna Kaisen, might as well start throwing the most meaningful bones to Sukuna fans, okay? No more being coy. Just tell them his backstory. Hell, I'll stick around out of curiosity alone... even if I hate an asshole who never gets punished.

Thank you for reading my ramble.

[ad_1] Hindus in a Cultural Shell: Mohan Bhagwat’s Call for Introspection Paromita Das GG News Bureau New Delhi, 7th December- Hindu society has long been marked by its resilience, spirituality, and adaptability in the face of adversity. Yet, this very adaptability has often led to periods of retreat, where the community turns inward, focusing on individual and familial progress rather than asserting itself on broader societal issues. Recently, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat issued a clarion call to Hindus to break free from their cultural inertia. His concern centers on the declining population growth among Hindus and its implications for the community’s future within India’s diverse and competitive societal framework. This statement, rooted in population science and societal analysis, challenges Hindus to examine the broader consequences of their choices. While economic growth and modernization have brought prosperity, they have also fostered compromises that threaten the long-term vitality of Hindu society. Bhagwat’s remarks serve as a wake-up call, urging introspection on issues ranging from demographic trends to cultural values and systemic challenges. The Declining Share of Hindus in India’s Population India’s demographic landscape has undergone significant changes since independence. At first glance, the numbers seem reassuring—Hindus grew from 30.3 crore in 1951 to 96.6 crore in 2011. However, the relative share of Hindus in the population has declined from 84.5% to 79.8% over the same period.   Meanwhile, the Muslim population’s share increased from 9.9% to 14.2%, and Christianity, though officially at 2.3%, is estimated by the Pew Research Center to be closer to 2.6%, owing to underreporting among converts. This relative decline in Hindu population share is not merely a statistical concern; it reflects broader social and cultural dynamics. Hindus’ adherence to government campaigns like “Hum Do, Hamare Do” during the 1970s family planning era significantly curtailed their population growth. While this policy was envisioned as a means to ensure better quality of life, it has inadvertently left Hindus with a declining growth rate compared to other communities. Bhagwat’s invocation of the 2.1 replacement fertility rate—a threshold below which a population declines—underscores the urgency of the issue. While other communities have continued to grow at higher decadal rates, Hindus have maintained a lower growth rate in the 20s, compared to Muslims whose decadal growth has often hovered in the 30s. Over decades, these compounded differences have led to a noticeable shift in population dynamics. Cultural and Economic Choices: A Double-Edged Sword The decline in Hindu population share cannot be viewed in isolation from the cultural and economic shifts that have reshaped society over the last few decades. The slogan “Hum Do, Hamare Do” encapsulates the economic logic of smaller families: fewer children meant more resources for education, healthcare, and housing. While this strategy appeared practical at the time, its long-term cultural consequences were largely overlooked. The pursuit of economic stability came at the cost of traditional family structures and cultural values. Rising real-estate prices, expensive education, and costly medical care have made family planning decisions increasingly constrained by financial pressures. Furthermore, the rising cost of food, often adulterated and nutritionally inadequate, has compounded health and fertility issues, creating additional barriers to having larger families. The broader societal shift towards urbanization and modernity also placed new expectations on Hindu women, urging them to prioritize careers over family responsibilities. While this movement was framed as women’s empowerment, it failed to emphasize the need for balance. The result has been a growing trend of women opting out of family life altogether, exacerbating the already declining birth rate among Hindus.

Historical Context: Survival Against All Odds The Hindu community’s history is one of extraordinary survival. Despite centuries of invasions, looting, and forced conversions, Hindus have managed to preserve their cultural and spiritual identity. Economically, the community has weathered significant upheavals without losing its entrepreneurial spirit. Yet, this resilience is being tested in new ways. Unlike past challenges, which were external in nature, the current crisis stems from within. The willingness to compromise for the sake of economic progress, coupled with systemic inefficiencies in governance, has placed Hindus in a precarious position. The wealth accumulated in temples—many of which are controlled by state governments—stands as a stark reminder of the community’s inability to assert control over its own resources. This lack of autonomy further limits the community’s ability to address the challenges of education, healthcare, and cultural preservation. The Role of Governance and Policy Bhagwat’s statement is not just a call to individuals but also an implicit challenge to policymakers. Structural issues such as the high cost of education, unaffordable housing, and inadequate healthcare cannot be solved by individual effort alone. Government intervention is necessary to regulate these sectors and ensure that the benefits of economic growth are shared equitably. Adulteration in food, for instance, is a critical issue that affects public health and fertility. Similarly, the rising cost of education limits access to quality learning for many families, forcing them to make difficult choices about family size. Real-estate speculation and the lack of affordable housing further constrain young couples from expanding their families. Unless these systemic issues are addressed, the cultural call to have larger families will remain unheeded. A Time for Cultural and Political Reawakening Bhagwat’s remarks touch a nerve in a society grappling with its identity in a rapidly changing world. The Hindu community must recognize that its demographic trends have far-reaching implications for its cultural, political, and social influence. However, the solution lies not in fear-mongering but in a balanced approach that combines individual responsibility with systemic reforms. A cultural reawakening is needed to emphasize the value of family and community life, alongside economic pursuits. At the same time, the government must step in to alleviate the structural barriers that discourage larger families. Policies aimed at reducing the cost of living, improving access to quality education, and ensuring food safety will play a crucial role in reversing the current trends. Conclusion: The Shift from “Hum Do” to a Sustainable Future Mohan Bhagwat’s warning about the declining Hindu population is both a wake-up call and a reminder of the community’s historical resilience. Hindus must take stock of their cultural and demographic realities, balancing the pursuit of modernity with the preservation of their traditions and values. The Overton window has shifted from “Hum Do, Hamare Do” to a new debate: “Jiski Jitni Abadi, Uski Utni Hissedari” (one’s population determines one’s share). If Hindus are to navigate this transition successfully, they must prioritize both individual and collective efforts. Only by addressing systemic barriers and fostering a renewed sense of cultural purpose can the community secure its future in an increasingly competitive and diverse India.   The post Hindus in a Cultural Shell: Mohan Bhagwat’s Call for Introspection appeared first on Global Governance News- Asia's First Bilingual News portal for Global News and Updates.

His concern centers on the declining population growth among Hindus and its implications for the community’s future within India’s diverse and competitive societal framework. This statement, rooted in population science and societal analysis, challenges Hindus to examine the broader consequences of their choices. While economic growth and modernization have brought prosperity, they have also fostered compromises that threaten the long-term vitality of Hindu society. Bhagwat’s remarks serve as a wake-up call, urging introspection on issues ranging from demographic trends to cultural values and systemic challenges. The Declining Share of Hindus in India’s Population India’s demographic landscape has undergone significant changes since independence. At first glance, the numbers seem reassuring—Hindus grew from 30.3 crore in 1951 to 96.6 crore in 2011. However, the relative share of Hindus in the population has declined from 84.5% to 79.8% over the same period.   Meanwhile, the Muslim population’s share increased from 9.9% to 14.2%, and Christianity, though officially at 2.3%, is estimated by the Pew Research Center to be closer to 2.6%, owing to underreporting among converts. This relative decline in Hindu population share is not merely a statistical concern; it reflects broader social and cultural dynamics. Hindus’ adherence to government campaigns like “Hum Do, Hamare Do” during the 1970s family planning era significantly curtailed their population growth. While this policy was envisioned as a means to ensure better quality of life, it has inadvertently left Hindus with a declining growth rate compared to other communities. Bhagwat’s invocation of the 2.1 replacement fertility rate—a threshold below which a population declines—underscores the urgency of the issue. While other communities have continued to grow at higher decadal rates, Hindus have maintained a lower growth rate in the 20s, compared to Muslims whose decadal growth has often hovered in the 30s. Over decades, these compounded differences have led to a noticeable shift in population dynamics. Cultural and Economic Choices: A Double-Edged Sword The decline in Hindu population share cannot be viewed in isolation from the cultural and economic shifts that have reshaped society over the last few decades. The slogan “Hum Do, Hamare Do” encapsulates the economic logic of smaller families: fewer children meant more resources for education, healthcare, and housing. While this strategy appeared practical at the time, its long-term cultural consequences were largely overlooked. The pursuit of economic stability came at the cost of traditional family structures and cultural values. Rising real-estate prices, expensive education, and costly medical care have made family planning decisions increasingly constrained by financial pressures. Furthermore, the rising cost of food, often adulterated and nutritionally inadequate, has compounded health and fertility issues, creating additional barriers to having larger families. The broader societal shift towards urbanization and modernity also placed new expectations on Hindu women, urging them to prioritize careers over family responsibilities. While this movement was framed as women’s empowerment, it failed to emphasize the need for balance. The result has been a growing trend of women opting out of family life altogether, exacerbating the already declining birth rate among Hindus.

Historical Context: Survival Against All Odds The Hindu community’s history is one of extraordinary survival. Despite centuries of invasions, looting, and forced conversions, Hindus have managed to preserve their cultural and spiritual identity. Economically, the community has weathered significant upheavals without losing its entrepreneurial spirit. Yet, this resilience is being tested in new ways. Unlike past challenges, which were external in nature, the current crisis stems from within. The willingness to compromise for the sake of economic progress, coupled with systemic inefficiencies in governance, has placed Hindus in a precarious position. The wealth accumulated in temples—many of which are controlled by state governments—stands as a stark reminder of the community’s inability to assert control over its own resources. This lack of autonomy further limits the community’s ability to address the challenges of education, healthcare, and cultural preservation. The Role of Governance and Policy Bhagwat’s statement is not just a call to individuals but also an implicit challenge to policymakers. Structural issues such as the high cost of education, unaffordable housing, and inadequate healthcare cannot be solved by individual effort alone. Government intervention is necessary to regulate these sectors and ensure that the benefits of economic growth are shared equitably. Adulteration in food, for instance, is a critical issue that affects public health and fertility. Similarly, the rising cost of education limits access to quality learning for many families, forcing them to make difficult choices about family size. Real-estate speculation and the lack of affordable housing further constrain young couples from expanding their families. Unless these systemic issues are addressed, the cultural call to have larger families will remain unheeded. A Time for Cultural and Political Reawakening Bhagwat’s remarks touch a nerve in a society grappling with its identity in a rapidly changing world. The Hindu community must recognize that its demographic trends have far-reaching implications for its cultural, political, and social influence. However, the solution lies not in fear-mongering but in a balanced approach that combines individual responsibility with systemic reforms. A cultural reawakening is needed to emphasize the value of family and community life, alongside economic pursuits. At the same time, the government must step in to alleviate the structural barriers that discourage larger families. Policies aimed at reducing the cost of living, improving access to quality education, and ensuring food safety will play a crucial role in reversing the current trends. Conclusion: The Shift from “Hum Do” to a Sustainable Future Mohan Bhagwat’s warning about the declining Hindu population is both a wake-up call and a reminder of the community’s historical resilience. Hindus must take stock of their cultural and demographic realities, balancing the pursuit of modernity with the preservation of their traditions and values. The Overton window has shifted from “Hum Do, Hamare Do” to a new debate: “Jiski Jitni Abadi, Uski Utni Hissedari” (one’s population determines one’s share). If Hindus are to navigate this transition successfully, they must prioritize both individual and collective efforts. Only by addressing systemic barriers and fostering a renewed sense of cultural purpose can the community secure its future in an increasingly competitive and diverse India.   The post Hindus in a Cultural Shell: Mohan Bhagwat’s Call for Introspection appeared first on Global Governance News- Asia's First Bilingual News portal for Global News and Updates.

10 Mukhi Rudraksha: Spiritual Power and Health Benefits

The 10 Mukhi Rudraksha is one of the most revered sacred beads in Hinduism, known for its immense spiritual and physical benefits. This divine bead is believed to carry the blessings of Lord Vishnu, the preserver of the universe, and is revered for its protective and healing properties. Suitable for anyone seeking protection from negative energies, relief from planetary afflictions, or spiritual growth, this Rudraksha is a must-have for those walking on the path of righteousness and peace.

In this comprehensive guide, you’ll learn about the benefits of the 10 Mukhi Rudraksha, how to identify genuine beads, and the proper way to wear and care for it. By the end, you’ll understand why this bead has remained a cornerstone of spiritual traditions for centuries.

What Is a 10 Mukhi Rudraksha?

The 10 Mukhi Rudraksha, as the name suggests, has ten natural lines (mukhis) on its surface that signify its unique identity. These lines run from the head to the tail of the bead and are considered its defining feature. Unlike other Rudraksha beads, the 10 Mukhi Rudraksha does not correspond to a specific planet. Instead, it is believed to pacify the negative effects of all Navagrahas (nine planets), making it universally beneficial.

This bead is also associated with the ten directions (Das Dikpalas) and is thought to provide protection from all possible negative influences, ensuring holistic well-being. Additionally, it is symbolic of divine protection, wealth, and spiritual awakening, appealing to people of all walks of life.

Key Benefits of the 10 Mukhi Rudraksha

1. Protection Against Negative Energies

One of the primary reasons people wear the 10 Mukhi Rudraksha is its protective power. It is believed to act as a shield against negative energies, evil spirits, and harmful intentions. Those who wear this bead often feel a sense of calm, knowing they are safeguarded from unseen dangers.

2. Relief from Planetary Malefic Effects

Unlike other Rudraksha beads tied to specific planets, the 10 Mukhi Rudraksha balances all planetary influences, making it ideal for anyone facing challenges in their astrological charts. Whether it’s Saturn’s harsh effects or Rahu’s disruptive energies, this bead can help bring stability and peace.

3. Resolution of Legal and Personal Conflicts

The bead is considered highly effective in resolving legal disputes and personal conflicts. By wearing it, one may experience smoother resolution of complex matters, reduced obstacles, and more favorable outcomes.

4. Spiritual and Emotional Growth

Spiritual seekers find the 10 Mukhi Rudraksha particularly useful for meditation and inner growth. It helps foster a connection with the divine, enhancing focus, clarity, and emotional balance. It’s a great tool for anyone pursuing a deeper understanding of life and its purpose.

5. Health and Well-Being

In traditional beliefs, the 10 Mukhi Rudraksha is said to promote physical and mental health. It is thought to help with issues related to the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and improve overall vitality. Many also believe it strengthens immunity and accelerates recovery from illnesses.

6. Improved Decision-Making

Wearing the 10 Mukhi Rudraksha can boost self-confidence and decision-making abilities. It empowers individuals to tackle life’s challenges with courage and wisdom, ensuring they stay on the right path.

How to Identify a Genuine 10 Mukhi Rudraksha

With increasing demand, the market is flooded with fake Rudraksha beads. To ensure you reap its full benefits, it’s crucial to know how to identify an authentic 10 Mukhi Rudraksha. Here are some tips:

1. Count the Lines (Mukhis)

A genuine 10 Mukhi Rudraksha will have ten clear and natural lines running vertically from one end to the other. These lines should not be artificially carved or tampered with.

2. Perform a Water Test

Place the bead in a glass of water. Genuine Rudrakshas usually sink, while fake ones made of wood or plastic tend to float. However, note that this test is not definitive since some real beads may float due to their density.

3. Examine the Surface

Authentic Rudraksha beads have a rough, thorny texture with natural grooves and imperfections. Beads that appear overly smooth or polished are often fake.

4. Check for Internal Compartments

The 10 Mukhi Rudraksha has internal chambers that correspond to its faces. An X-ray test can confirm the presence of these chambers.

5. Buy from Trusted Sellers

Always purchase from reputable dealers who provide authenticity certificates. Avoid buying from unknown sources, especially online, without proper verification.

In this blog, we’ll explore practical ways to cultivate analytical thinking to excel in the IAS exam.

What Is Analytical Thinking?

Analytical thinking involves breaking down information into smaller components, identifying patterns, and making reasoned judgments. In the context of the IAS exam, it’s the ability to understand issues from multiple perspectives, evaluate arguments, and propose solutions that are logical, practical, and aligned with constitutional values.

Why Analytical Thinking Matters in IAS Exam

Prelims: Requires quick analysis of multiple-choice questions to eliminate incorrect options.

Mains: Tests your ability to structure answers with clarity and precision, addressing different dimensions of a topic.

Interview: Demands clarity of thought, logical reasoning, and the ability to handle challenging questions on the spot.

How to Develop Analytical Thinking for IAS Exam Success

1. Read Beyond the Surface

While reading newspapers, reports, or books, focus on understanding the "why" and "how" behind events and issues. For example, don’t just note the GDP growth rate—analyze the factors contributing to it and its implications on different sectors.

2. Practice Case Studies

Solving case studies, especially for Ethics (GS Paper 4), is an excellent way to hone analytical thinking. Break down the problem, identify stakeholders, and suggest ethical solutions. This process sharpens your reasoning skills and prepares you for real-world administrative challenges.

3. Engage in Group Discussions

Discussing current affairs with peers can expose you to diverse perspectives, helping you refine your thought process. Debating opposing viewpoints also improves your ability to evaluate arguments critically.

Study past IAS exam papers to understand the nature of analytical questions. Break down the questions to identify their core requirements and practice structuring your answers accordingly.

5. Write Daily Practice Answers

Answer writing is essential for IAS Mains. While practicing, focus on presenting a balanced analysis. Use diagrams, flowcharts, and structured points to clearly convey your reasoning.

6. Follow Editorials and Opinion Pieces

Reading editorials in newspapers like The Hindu or Indian Express enhances your ability to analyze issues. Pay attention to how authors build arguments and present solutions, and apply similar methods in your own analysis.

7. Develop a Habit of Critical Thinking

Challenge your assumptions and question the information you come across. For instance, when studying policies, ask yourself:

What are the pros and cons?

Who are the stakeholders?

How will this impact society in the short and long term?

8. Take Mock Tests Regularly

Mock tests provide scenarios where you can apply analytical thinking under exam-like conditions. Regular practice improves your ability to think quickly and structure answers effectively.

9. Stay Curious

Curiosity is the foundation of analytical thinking. Always ask questions, dig deeper into topics, and strive to connect the dots between various subjects in the IAS syllabus.

Conclusion

The Best Time to Attend a 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Bali

Bali is not just a tropical paradise; it’s a vibrant hub for yoga enthusiasts seeking spiritual growth and professional development. Among the various training programs available, the 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training stands out as a transformative experience. However, determining the best time to attend this training can significantly enhance your experience. In this article, we will explore the ideal timing for your journey into yoga, taking into account factors such as climate, festival seasons, and personal growth opportunities.

Understanding Bali’s Climate: The Best Time for Yoga Training

Bali experiences a tropical climate with two main seasons: the dry season and the wet season. Understanding these seasons is crucial for selecting the optimal time for your training.

Dry Season: April to October

The dry season, from April to October, is often considered the best time to attend a 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Bali. During these months, you can expect:

Sunny Days: With minimal rainfall, the weather is ideal for outdoor practices and exploration.

Comfortable Temperatures: Daily temperatures range from 25°C to 30°C (77°F to 86°F), providing a pleasant environment for yoga and meditation.

Festivals and Retreats: This period hosts various cultural festivals, which offer a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in Balinese culture.

Choosing to train during the dry season allows you to enjoy the serene surroundings of Bali while focusing on your yoga practice.

Wet Season: November to March

While the wet season (November to March) is characterized by higher humidity and more rainfall, it can also be an excellent time for training. Consider the following benefits:

Less Crowded: With fewer tourists, you can enjoy a more peaceful and intimate training environment.

Enhanced Focus: The tranquility of the off-peak season allows for deeper concentration and reflection during your training.

Lower Costs: Many yoga schools offer discounted rates during the wet season, making it a budget-friendly option for many students.

Attending a 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training during the wet season can lead to profound personal insights and a rejuvenated spirit.

Aligning Your Training with Personal Goals

Choosing the best time for your training also depends on your personal goals and readiness. Here are some factors to consider:

Alignment with Life Changes

If you’re planning significant life changes, such as a career shift or personal transformation, aligning your 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training with these changes can be beneficial. Whether you seek to deepen your practice or start a new career in yoga instruction, timing can play a pivotal role in your readiness.

Seasonal Intentions

Many students choose to attend training sessions during specific seasons that resonate with their intentions:

New Beginnings: Consider starting your training at the beginning of the year to align with resolutions and fresh starts.

Growth and Development: The mid-year period often serves as a time for self-assessment and growth, making it an excellent opportunity for introspection during training.

Key Events and Festivals to Enhance Your Experience

Participating in local festivals can enrich your experience during your training. Here are some key events to consider:

Nyepi Day (Day of Silence)

Nyepi is a unique Balinese festival that marks the beginning of the Hindu New Year. During this day of silence, the island shuts down, providing a powerful opportunity for meditation and self-reflection. Attending your training around Nyepi allows you to embrace this spiritual journey in an uninterrupted setting.

Bali Spirit Festival

Typically held in March or April, the Bali Spirit Festival is a gathering of yoga practitioners, artists, and musicians from around the globe. Attending your 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training during this festival can enhance your experience through workshops, community engagement, and inspiration.

Ubud Writers & Readers Festival

If you have a passion for writing or storytelling, the Ubud Writers & Readers Festival, held in October, can complement your yoga journey. Engaging with like-minded individuals during your training can provide a rich, holistic experience.

Physical Preparation

Begin practicing yoga regularly to build strength and flexibility. This foundation will help you fully engage in the training experience.

Mental and Emotional Readiness

Logistical Arrangements

Plan your travel, accommodations, and any necessary documentation in advance. Familiarize yourself with Bali’s culture and customs to enhance your immersion in the experience.

Conclusion: Finding Your Perfect Timing

Determining the best time to attend a 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Bali is a multifaceted decision influenced by climate, personal goals, and cultural events.
