Sardar  Patel  and Jawaherlal Nehru
                                                                                                                 We have seen that in this December 2013  the death anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai was celebrated by  two types of people one who really admires him and another one who wants to exploit his name for their own interest. Besides that any leader who wants to glorifies him will put Sardar against his name without knowing what Sardar stood for. His opponent says he was communal that is only to maline him without knowing that he was loyal to India and  was for people who are loyal to India. There are instances where Sardar helped Muslims out of way. There was a Muslim state of Sachin.(i.e. Situated near Surat ) Begum of Sachin was in financial difficulties during the integration of Native States. He helped her financially from his own money. She wanted to return the said money to Sardar afterwards. However he refused to take back money stating that 'I will not take back money which was  given to my sister'. This shows he was not communal at all.
                                                 While Jawaherlal Nehru was very temperamental and use to lose his temper at any time. Nehru had more exposure to international issues as he was educated in London and use to visit Switzerland and foreign countries during the grave illness of his wife. He was more scared of international reaction for handling of any problem faced by India. Hence he was not practical. He was also ambitious for becoming international  leader where by he overlooked some time the interest of India.  He did made mistakes in handling the international problems faced by India after independence. However nobody can doubt his patriotism.
                                                 There were common thing between Sardar and Nehru i.e.Patriotism and respect for their mentor Mahatma Gandhi.Nehru entirely differed with Gandhiji on policy matters but Sardar was with Gandhiji on  most of his Ideology. Nehru threatened Gandhji to divide congress if he is not made Prime minister of India while Sardar  gave up his genuine right for Prime Minister position as directed by Mahatma Gandhi. Nehru  encouraged Nehru dynasty by installing Indira Gandhi as congress president in his life time(i.e. to become prime minister of india ultimately). We do not know where the democrat Nehru was lost then. while Sardar kept all his close relative away from taking any advantage of his position. He even disconnected his relation with his only son in order to stop him for taking advantage of his position.
                                             Sardar was very generous towards the weaknesses of Nehru  and he always praised him positively. He wrote in the  souvenir which was published on the 60 Th Birthday of Jawaherlal Nehru as under" Nehru has highly explosive temper due to his dislikes for reducing the delay in the work. Besides that his volatile nature was also helpful against laziness and inordinate delay. He further added that Jawaher mood goes on changing from childish to mature person.  However he is always ready to accept any thing new even if it is against his nature"
                                            Jawaherlal Nehru also gave a glaring tribute to Sardar on his 75 Th birthday of  in following words. i.e. on 31st October 1950 "I have close connection with Sardar since 30 years and both us have seen ups and down with great events. Sardar Patel has come out of those critical problems with very strong personality. I  have also seen that lots of people are seeking his guidance on various types of problems. I wish he maintains his heath and continue to do so for years.
                                               You will rarely find such great leaders with different views,  Natures and out looks can work to gather for several decades that too with tremendous respect for each other. It may be due to the great personality like Mahatma Gandhi.

Anna Hazare factor
                                                                                                                                  The Father of Indian constitution Dr Baba Saheb Ambedkar said that "One can form the best  constitution  but it depend upon the people who are going to handle it " Indian politicians proved  that how one can dismantle all constitutional institutions and amended the constitution for 92 times so far. While the American constitution which is about 200 years is not even amended half of it number.
                                                         It is unfortunate that Indian politicians has been using and twisting the constitution for their own interest. They have mishandled Executive, Judiciary and administrative machinery for their wasted interest.  They have even not spared election commission by appointing their own nominees.
                                                     
 Therefore all system has been failing and people do not have any avenues to settle their complains. Under the circumstances the Hazare factor has come up to rectify the failing system. Nobody can question the sincerity and honesty of Anna Hazare but politicians are failing him  by doing political manipulations. In the process the people of India is completely depressed and frustrated. We do not know How, When,and in Which form that dissatisfaction will blow out. Nobody will be able to handle such situation then and it will lead to chaos only. Therefore Anna factor is the symbol of signal for such unwanted situation.
                                                     
Anna Hazare went on fast for so many times to improve the situation but every time he was deceived and cheated by falls promises. It is surprising that even people from his own group also came out as a opportunity seeker for power and position. The enemy of Anna also  came out with suggestion that he should go for forming party  instead of going on fast. This was only to divert the main issues including corruption. However some people left the Anna in order to form the party( i.e. Aam Admi Party) in order to get political power for bringing reforms in the system. However it is time consuming process. meanwhile poor masses of India is suffering due to inflation, unemployment, corruption, and inefficient administration.
                                                      We do not find any solutions of all those grave problems in near future as the trek records of most of the existing political parties are not satisfactory. However meanwhile we can pray for our country and support all those factors like Anna Hazare which mean good of Indian people.

Nelson Mandela
                                                                                                       
                                                                                                                               The great South African leader Nelson Mandela was born on 18th July 1918 and died very recently on 5th December 2013.  His Memorial service was attended by 100 leaders of the various Countries in Johannesburg, South Africa. The president of America Barrack Obama along with Former Presidents George Bush and Bill Clinton. It shows the respect he carried through out world. He was awarded several awards from the world including 'Noble Prize' and ' Bharat Ratna' from India.
                                                      He struggled through out his life against racial discrimination policy of South African government for which he was imprisoned for about 27 years. However his agitation brought the concluding result and the racist South African government was demolished. Hence he became messiah of black people who were suppressed for years to gather. However he never kept any bitterness against white people.
             
                                 
 He became the president of South Africa in 1994. His biography 'Long Walk to Freedom' is very interesting book with his experiences during the struggle. He was also inspired by Non Violence Independence struggle led by Mahatma Gandhi. He rightly said  to India that' You sent us Mohanlal Karamchand Gandhi and we returned you Mahatma Gandhi. This shows that he was caring the great respect for Mahatma Gandhi.                      
         
                                           
He was totally fearless leader he said'The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid,but he who conquers that fear'  He was against racist policy and racialism. He declared that ' I detest racialism because I regard it is a Barbaric thing, whether it comes from black man or white man.' This also shows that he was against all type of suppression and discrimination. His death is the great loss to the downtrodden and suppressed people.

Women

                             
                                                                                                               Women plays very important role in the world. They as a mother, sister and wife are very important in once life. The Hindu philosophy has given eminent position to the women in the society. It is said that' God is always there wherever women are respected'.
                                                  However there are instances where women are being suppressed, exploited and humiliated. The great wars had taken place on account of women and the major conflicts are also solved by them due to their Appeal. Some people consider them to be weak gender physically but they have proved very powerful in the end.
                                                They have been the causes of downfall of  many powerful men. The american president Bill Clinton came into trouble because of his affairs with one of the interns in the white house. The most powerful Editor in Chief of 'Tehelka' has recently come in trouble because of his sexual misbehavior with one of his female employees. Justice A K Ganguli the  former judge of supreme court is also in trouble because of sexual misbehavior with his lady intern. This is not happening in present day only. The 'Mahabharata' took place because of 'Draupadi'. The men generally under estimate them and come into trouble. The question arises how they have to be tacked in positive manner for the betterment of society and country.

The woman
=====
The woman always creates something out of nothing
Like creating beautiful  garden  where there is nothing
When every thing is trembling and no way is being seen
It is woman who stands like rock to make every thing fine
The woman--
It is woman who built up family where one finds several cracks
She  acts then as a Mother or Sister or Wife on such a difficult track
It is a woman who creates happy, healthy and one family
which makes one home heaven out of different types of people
The woman--
She wins the hearts of family members
Through food of  various taste and types
That is a woman who creates something out of nothing
Like creating beautiful garden where there is nothing
Bharat Desai
                                   Hence why not respect them instead humiliating them.  It is a matter of wisdom to take their  help to build up society and nation.
