When India Sleep at Night...

When India Sleep at night, it's mountains shrink.

I will been adding news links on this page only on one subject - Indio-china relationship that goes back to Nalanda's time when Scholars from China came to the University to learn Sciences, philosophy, astronomy and medicine (Ayurveda) along with languages (Pali and Sanskrit).

Time has passed but gratefulness has not. People in the grassroots level still loves India (my first hand experience with scholars from China). Sad part is selectively educated, ideologically myopic leaderships in the world make general citizens life miserable and painful. This reminds me of a scholar name Chanakya.

Current situation between India and China does not seems at all friendly, though commerce of $50+ billions marking the balance-sheet. Going back 1960s, 1950s and 1930s one begins to wonder how many lives are in stake here.

one must remember loss of life of a front line shoulder brings grief from another 12 human beings (his/her children, family, parents and siblings). This can be easily preventable - No, No. Not by dialogues, meetings and other political means.

It is preventable by the GRASSROOTS LEVEL people from the both side.
It is also simple and has domino's effect. Core of it is spirituality. People with spiritual wisdom can see through the veils of word and action of the ideogouge.

India has experienced successes cultivating its age old spiritual wisdom and utilizing in fighting demons and invaders from 11th century in recent millenniums.
king Ashoka was of recent time implemented on a Global-Basis a model of Spiritual Wisdom trading not Arms trading as the way of bringing economic prosperity and innovation into the nation. he first invented a business model that cost less and earn more - an winning strategy without having any loss of life, arms and marketing/bribing cost.

Though India has mostly forgotten due its clouding of vision for over 700years, some part of India still braces on Ashoka's model of winning strategy.

Can that be the model for 21st century starting at the Top of WORLD- the HIMALAYAS.

Thank you,
