Thinking Activity on "August: Patriotism and Religious Fervour"

Indian festivals and rituals :



Festivals play are very large part in the day to day life of Hindus and they portray and rich cultural traditions of the country. In Hindu tradition, a festival is observed with prayers and different rituals such as fasting, decorating the deities, cooking special dishes, community fairs, etc. The festivals usually commemorate special events from Hindu mythology but this often coincides with seasonal changes or agricultural cycles such as the sowing or harvest season.

The Independence Day of India:



Independence Day is annually celebrated on 15 August, as a national holiday in India commemorating the nation's independence from the United Kingdom on 15 August 1947, the day when the UK Parliament passed the Indian Independence Act 1947 transferring legislative sovereignty to the Indian Constituent Assembly. India still retained King George VI as head of state until its transition to full republican constitution. India attained independence following the Independence Movement noted for largely non-violent resistance and civil disobedience led by the Congress Party.



Shitala Saatam :



          In Indian, we may all celebrate this festival. On this day, we are eating cold food and preying or we may enjoy the  'Shirala saatam Mela'. But why we are celebrating this festival? For this, we have to read the history of that time or that day. What are the reasons behind this and why on this specific day or in Month? So Sitalaa Saatam is the day which we witness the conflict between religion and science. We can not convince our society or even our family members. Their religion is good for them, not science or other intellectual things.

          In past days, we have to go for vaccination to save ourselves from the life-threatening disease like smallpox which means 'Shitala'. We can not control. The faith behind eating cold food is this will prevent diseases like ori or Shitala but the scientific reason behind this may be by eating cold food will increase immunity. We have to think that what is better for your body cold or hot food?
Fleming said,
" The real difference between hot, cooked foods and cold, raw foods is their nutritional value. “In general, cooking leaches vitamins and nutrients out of fruits and vegetables,” Fleming said, “so the less cooked the better.”






          In this video Saadat Hasan Manto says about his thought about society. some peoples are says that he wrote about prostitution, velger story. early in video manto says wonderfull line....

                          "Manto Ek Insaan Hain Or Har Insaan Ko Progressive Hona Chahiye"

          Manto wrote about reality of society and life but many people not accepted his work ans truth about society. many cases against his work because he wrote about prostitution and he use bad language in his story. in this video we see that the old man not accepted manto's thoughts and old man says to other man...
                                                            "Kahase uthake Lateho ?"

         Here we see that our society not accepted the truth and reality of life. after this scene again manto says wonderful lines...

                             "Hakikat Se Inkar  Karna Kya Hame Behtar Insan Banayega ?"
                                                                             &
                                 "Zamaneki Karvto Ke Sath, Adab bhi Karavat Badle"

        Last his inner voice say...

                            "Me Apni Akhe Bandh Karbhiloo.. Par Apne Zameer Ka Kya Kru ?"

          Here we seee that  manto wrote about our real society and he did  not care about other people what they think about him. I think we need or want many Saadat Hasan Manto to change our society.

                                                                "बोल के लब आज़ाद हैं तेरे"




       
          This video based on partition of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. lawyer from England Sir Cyril Radcliffe. W.H. Auden wrote about Sir Cyril Radcliffe in his poem. Radcliffe says Dickie told me to draw the line before the Sikhs found out Nehru, Jinnan and Patel wanted partition that is why he drew a line and he refuse 3000 pound but no one remember that and W.H. Auden not mention about 3000 pound in his poem.

          In this video 5:37 we see three Holy books GITA, QUR-AN & BIBLE, "Ram Madhvani show us this three Holy books" why ?

          when he met Mahatma Gandhi he told him that 'This Partition Is going To Create A Lost Of Violence" and he was right.... very emotional line say by Sir Cyril Radcliffe...
