चढ़ावा चोरी पकड़े जाते ही मंदिर 'आस्था' से 'व्यवस्था' बन गया। आस्था की जेब काट के 'मार्क्स-मार्क्स' चिल्लाने लगे। ये आपका 'वल्चरल रिमार्क्सवाद' है!
कुँवर नारायण जी ने ठीक ही कहा था
हे राम, कहाँ यह समय
कहाँ तुम्हारा त्रेता युग,
कहाँ तुम मर्यादा पुरुषोत्तम
कहाँ यह नेता-युग
The egg is 75% water and the chana is nearly fully dry, so you are really comparing 13g of dry egg matter with about 47g of dry chana.
This is also why the egg is 70 kcal and the chana is closer to 300 kcal for the same serving.
And on top of that, protein quality of egg is much better. To be clear, eat both, and if one has personal religious reasons to avoid eggs, do that, but this comparison is silly.
I have said it before, Sridhar Vembu is the Baba Ramdev of the techverse… he makes cheap and harmful counterfeits of the originals, slaps a Swadeshi label on them, sells them to the Govt., and funds candidates from the ruling party in return.
PM MODI DEPARTS FOR SEYCHELLES; TO MEET WORLD’S OLDEST LIVING ANIMAL
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has departed on an official visit to Seychelles, aimed at strengthening bilateral ties and cooperation in the Indian Ocean region.
During the visit, Modi is scheduled to meet Jonathan, the world’s oldest living land animal, a giant tortoise estimated to be over 190 years old.
खीरा की खेती लोग खेत से लेकर छपरी- टपरी और गमले में कहीं भी कर लेते हैं। मंत्री ने अपने फार्म के लिए एक करोड़ में एक लाख कम की सब्सिडी ली है तो कुछ सोचा ही होगा। अपनी सरकार है, मंत्री हैं, इतना तो करना ही चाहिए। कौन रोकने वाला है। यहाँ मंदिर में लूट हो गई उस पर कुछ नहीं हुआ। इस देश में लोग सौ सौ करोड़ का खीरा खा सकते हैं। मंत्री को खीरा रत्न का पुरस्कार मिलना चाहिए। रिपोर्ट पढ़ता हूँ । उम्मीद है खीरा फार्म की तस्वीर भी होगी और एनिमल फार्म की भी।
अब ये स्वीकारा गया है कि ऑपरेशन सिंदूर में 6 भारतीय सैनिक शहीद हुए
पर सुनिए
संसद में 28 जुलाई 2025 को जब रक्षा मंत्री राजनाथ सिंह ने विपक्ष को ललकारते हुए कहा था
“आपको प्रश्न पूछना है तो यह पूछिए की क्या इस ऑपरेशन में हमारे जवान सैनिकों को कोई क्षति हुई? तो उसका उत्तर है नहीं”
और इस पर सत्ता पक्ष ने जमकर ताली बजायी थी… मेज़ थपथपाई थी
ओ वर्तमान सदी के महानतम महापुरुष,
पूरी कायनात को दिखा दो कि तुम और कितना गिर सकते हो!
बिना किसी की फ़िक्र किए,
सिर्फ़ और सिर्फ़ गिरो!!
गिरते रहो!
जब तक गिरने की क्रिया निष्क्रिय न हो जाय!!!
Bengal is fighting about an egg. The people in charge want you to think the fight is about nutrition. It is not.
We are fighting a wrong battle here.
Start with one fact. By every serious count, including the National Family Health Survey, more than 90% of Bengalis eat fish, egg, or meat.
This is who they are. It is not a habit they can be talked out of. It is their culture, their daily life, the food their families have always eaten. The children in these schools come from these homes.
For many of them the weekly egg is not a treat or a preference. It is the cheapest complete protein they will eat all week. For some it is the only one.
So ask a simple question. What is the job?
The midday meal scheme exists to feed children food that nourishes them, in a form their families know as food.
The government has now handed that job, in Kolkata, to a religious organization that will not serve eggs. That choice did not improve the meal. It told us who the meal is now for.
A cook who refuses, for religious reasons, to serve a basic part of the meal has not offered a reform.
He has admitted he cannot do the job. You do not give the contract to the bidder who will not deliver the goods.
Here the government's own defense sinks it. It says it did not hire a cook who rejected the menu.
It changed the menu so the cook would fit. Read that again.
It is worse than what it denies. A nutrition programme is supposed to start with the child and ask what she needs, then find someone who can provide it.
This one started with what one organization was willing to cook, and worked backward, reshaping the children's food to match a contractor's faith. The child stopped being the point. The religious rule became the point.
And here is the part that should trouble even devout Hindus. This is not Hinduism being served in schools. ISKCON follows Gaudiya Vaishnavism, one narrow school within the faith.
Its strict ban on egg, fish, and meat comes from an ahimsa discipline that sits closer to Jain practice than to how most Hindus actually live. Most Bengali Hindus eat fish.
Fish runs through their festivals, their weddings, their idea of a proper meal. So the state has not imposed the religion of the majority.
It has taken one small sect's diet and pressed it onto everyone else, including the millions of Hindus who do not follow it.
Picture a government handing every school's curriculum to one Christian sect that follows certain practices, then making Catholics, other Protestants, and non-Christians alike follow those practices and customs.
We would name it instantly for what it is. One narrow reading of a faith, enforced through the power of the state, on people who never chose it.
That is what this is. Tyranny of a tiny powerful minority. A small dietary doctrine has captured a public programme and rewritten it in its own image.
The state did not weigh the nutrition of its children against the beliefs of a vendor and choose the children. It chose the vendor.
This matter should be taken to the courts to ask the hard questions about a welfare scheme handed to a religious body and stripped of its purpose.
But you do not need a judge to see the wrong. The egg was never about protein. Paneer exists. Soya exists.
What goes missing is something the state owed these children and chose to take away. Take the egg off the plate and you have not removed a food. You have dictated who they should be.
