Religious Extremism : A curse

Once upon a time, in a far-off land, there was a group of people who believed that they were the chosen ones. They believed that their religion was the only true religion and that everyone else was wrong. At first, they kept to themselves, praying and studying their holy texts. But over time, they became more and more extreme in their beliefs. They began to see the world as black and white, good and evil, us and them. They started to preach their message of intolerance and hate to anyone who would listen. They told their followers that anyone who did not believe as they did was a threat to their way of life. The followers of this extremist group became more and more fanatical. They stopped talking to people who did not share their beliefs. They shunned family members and friends who did not agree with them. They began to see violence as a legitimate means of promoting their cause. They targeted people who were different from them, people of other religions, races, and cultures. They saw these people as enemies of their faith and believed that they needed to be eliminated. As their extremism grew, so did their power. They gained more and more followers, and their influence spread throughout the land. They began to take control of the government and the media, using their power to promote their message of hate. But their success was short-lived. Their extremism had made them blind to the world around them. They could not see the harm they were causing or the damage they were doing to their own people. Eventually, their violent ways caught up with them. The people they had persecuted rose up against them. They fought back with all their might, and the extremists were defeated. The lesson of this story is clear: extremism is dangerous. It blinds us to the world around us, and it can lead to violence and destruction. We must be careful not to let our beliefs become so extreme that they harm others. We must learn to respect and tolerate people who are different from us, and we must work to build bridges between our communities, not walls. *This is AI written Article

महाराष्ट्राच्या राजकारणातल्या एका राजकारण्याने बाबासाहेब पुरंदरेंच्या पुरस्काराच्या निमित्तानं उद्भवलेल्या वादावर बोलताना तांडव करण्याची धमकी दिलीय. त्यामुळे बाबासाहेब पुरंदरेंवर लिहायला भीती वाटायला लागलीय. तांडव झालं तर कदाचित त्यांच्या पक्षाची जशी स्थिती झाली तशी स्थिती महाराष्ट्राची झाली तर हे नुकसान सध्याच्या मंदीच्या काळात राज्याला आणि देशाला परवडणारं नाही. आपल्या आवाक्यातल्या धमक्या दिल्या पाहिजेत हे पण आता काही लोकांना समजेनासं झालंय. महाराष्ट्राच्या इतिहासातील महापुरुषांचं गुणगौरव करणाऱ्या अनेक व्यक्ती होऊन गेल्या. इतिहास नीटपणे लिहीला गेला नाही पण बखरी मात्र बख्खळ झाल्या. इतिहासाचे आपापल्या बुद्धीला पटतील तेवढे आणि तसे दाखले देऊन टाळ्या मिळवणाऱ्यांची संख्याही काही कमी नाही. इतिहासलेखनाचं काम, शास्त्रीय पद्धत, पुरावे शोधणं, ते नीट मांडणं याचं काम नीट पणे झालं नाही असा एक जुना आक्षेप आहे. ज्यांनी या क्षेत्रात काम केलं त्या पुण्या- मुंबईच्या संस्थांच्या अधिकाराला आव्हान देणारी नवीन पिढी आता जन्माला आलीय आणि ती आपल्या पद्धतीने इतिहास वाचण्याचा प्रयत्न करते आहे, शोधण्याचा प्रयत्...

It’s Time for Semi-Rural Urbanization

  Don’t Welcome the Rat Race: It’s Time for Semi-Rural Urbanization   Having traveled across Maharashtra, I’ve seen it all—the bustling streets of Mumbai, the semi-urban chaos of mid-sized towns, and the forgotten corners of rural villages. There’s one glaring pattern: we are building an unsustainable future. Our cities are suffocating, and our villages are simmering with problems that could explode any moment.   Ravindra Ambekar with Dr Rajendra Singh inspecting water crisis  Just last week, Mumbai made headlines again for its pollution crisis. The air quality index (AQI) touched hazardous levels in several areas, making it almost impossible to breathe. Roads choked with vehicles, unchecked construction, and industrial pollution make this city—once known for its charm—one of the least livable urban centers in India. Yet, people continue flocking here, escaping rural struggles, only to sign up for life in a toxic gas chamber.   The Hidden Crises of Rural M...

Bihar results and national politics

माइलस्टोन.. निवडणूका म्हटल्या की आरोप प्रत्यारोप आणि प्रचार-अपप्रचार होत राहतो. केंद्रात नरेंद्र मोदी सत्तेवर आल्यानंतर मोदींच्या अभूतपूर्व नेतृत्वाच्या लाटेवर स्वार होण्यासाठी अनेक जण आसुसले होते. लोकसभा निवडणूकीनंतर भाजपचा अश्वमेध सुसाट जाईल असा कयास होता पण या अश्वमेधाची लगाम दिल्ली आणि पाठोपाठ बिहार मध्ये खेचली गेली. महाराष्ट्रात सुद्धा शिवसेनेनं या अश्वमेधावर अंकुश ठेवण्याचा प्रयत्न केला. पैकी बिहारची निवडणूक फारच रंगतदार झाली. प्रचारामध्ये स्वत :  पंतप्रधान नरेंद्र मोदी आणि पक्षाचे कॅप्टन अमीत शहा. समोर लालू-नितीश कुमार आणि काँग्रेसचं महागठबंधन. मोदींनी ही पासवान-कुशवाह-मांझी अशी भट्टी जमवून जातीची समीकरणं साधण्याचा प्रयत्न केला. दिसायला हे गणित अटी-तटीचं होतं. एक्झिट पोलचे निकाल तर गोंधळात टाकणारेच होते. पण मतदार मात्र गोंधळलेला नव्हता हे ईव्हीएम खोलल्यानंतर स्पष्ट झालं. लालू- नितीश-काँग्रेस यांच्या महाआघाडीला स्पष्ट बहुमत मिळालं आणि मोदींचा डब्बा गुल झाला. मतमोजणीला सुरूवात झाल्यानंतर पहिल्या तासात निवडणूक विश्लेषकांनी टीव्हीच्या स्क्रीनवर प्रचंड गोंधळ उडवून दिला. प...
