Q2          Whyis the IAS officer Ritika Jindal trending on Twitter?

A2          Sunil Kumar Mohanty,Closely involved Indian politics since 
2003.Answered 7 months ago

Ms. Ritka Jindal is an IAS officer of Himachal Pradesh. She is trendingin 
Twitter and Quora due to her step taken in Shalooni temple. Whether it is bold 
or shameful wecan decide after reading the full answer.

 IAS madam Ritika Jindal was tryingto change the state of mind and tradition of 
Sanatan Dharma. For this, weshould full heartily appreciate her. The way she 
approached and did the work,it deserves to notice. Because it enlightens some 
dark secrets and tolerance ofour Society .

Dark Secret of our Society -

Power is everything -

Ritika Jindal Madam interfered with the ritual as she is the IAS officerof the 
location and trustee of the Temple. Is it possible that as a normal girlor lady 
she forcefully opposed and interrupted the rituals?

According to IAS madam Ritika Jindal - Being a woman first, and then 
anadministrator, I took it upon myself to fight for women’s rights. My 
questioncan the other women attempt the same?

Violence is the best way to dominate -

We will appreciate her more if she will convince the priest and templecommittee 
to stop the tradition and start a good practice. But she didn'tattempt that and 
directlyused her power as an IAS officer. Isn’t it an act of Violence or 
misuseof power?

According to IAS madam, Ritika Jindal - We talk of respecting women onDurga 
Ashtami but have deprived them of their rights. I had gone to the templeto 
inspect the arrangements there. The women were allowed to enter the temple and 
perform puja but were notallowed to sit for the havan.

 What will happen when thepowerless women attempt to rebel and who will be 
responsible? What is thedifference between a criminal and an officer?

Hindusim became a stage to showcase your secularism -

I don't understand why Hinduism became a stage for everyone to find 
theloopholes and trying to revive it. The religious sentiments are very 
critical,as an IAS officer, she needs to handle it in a proper way, not like a 
filmscene.

We believe that A priest or A father or Maulana are the experts of 
theirreligions. They are well trained in it. I don't think in the IAS 
trainingsyllabus this kind of training is given to the trainee. 

On what knowledge IAS Madam did the rituals?

Tolerance of our Society - we all are true Secularist 

Just imagine if the respected Madam attempted the same in Mosque orChurch, then 
what will happen? Opposition parties to fake social activistsstarted the slogan 
against the HP govt and blamed the RSS. What a shame!

We all are tolerant -

Some people are saying India became a Hindu country and intolerant. Aftersaw 
the incidents, I can assure that all Hindus are tolerant and not only 
thedevotees of Maa Durga but also respect women. If it is not true then Even if 
she is an IAS, people won’tpermit it.

Statutory warning to those officers -

Don't try this at Mosque/Church -

We appreciate your bravery. Youare capable to use your power andposition. But 
please don't try it Mosque and Church. If you try in Mosque thenTwitter and 
quora will be trending in some different title, As a capableperson, we expect a 
long and successful career from you. Then if you researchyour bravery in Church 
then you along with your Seniors have to face UNO andBla Bla.

SC Asks Centre's Response To PIL Seeking Entry Of Women In Mosques

It will impact the other officers to do this kind of stunt in public -

As a public servant, it will be wise to work for the public’s benefit. Ifyou 
want to remove superstition or change the wrong tradition then educationand 
awareness are the only way. It is so wrong to do it Forcefully. It willhamper 
public life and property. If every govt employees start this as practicethen 
what will happen?

One dead, over 24 injured in firing, stone-pelting during Durga idolimmersion 
in Bihar's Munger - India News , Firstpost

Conclusion - Aware and Educatepeople on Equality is the way to change society 
and stop the wrong tradition. But Making people helpless byusing power and 
position, is not good for democracy. 

What will be the difference between Britsh Raj and democratic Raj?

Q4         Isit necessary that a son should love their parents? My parents have 
given mepathetic conditioning and compare me with other children and always 
make mefeel low.

A4          I know your feeling. Comparing to other children is avery bad 
thing. Your son could do the same thing and start comparing youto a friends 
wealthy parents.

“Love”??

Thats a bit of a Hindi movie thing. We are responsible for having a son so its 
our duty tomake sure we do whatever we can to help him become a Man

But after that - Its upto him. 

Once your son gets married, he has his own family who become his domainand his 
responsibility. At that stage the father and mother become lessimportant. It is 
theCycle of life.

So when this happens, the key is to understand whats going on and giveyour son 
his space while being around as a Friend.

Love of course is just too much of the Bollywood “Ma Beta” thing.

A5          Anuradha Srinivasan Workedat Osmania University15h ago

Scientific investigations produce evidence that helps answer questionsand solve 
problems. Ifthe evidence cannot provide answers or solutions, it may still be 
useful.

 It may lead to new questions orproblems for investigation. As more knowledge 
is discovered, science advances.✍

Q6         Japanis a small country but is developed, while India not. Why?

A6          Devidatta Satapathy Worksat Indian Railways Sat

Because we don't punish theoffenders, because we showmuch tolerance to people 
who break rules , because we are not a conformingsociety , because we don't 
disincentives the lawbreakers .

The day people start toostracize a person known to have amassed wealth by wrong 
means, the day we stopidolizing wrong persons, the day it will not be 
considered cool to break thetraffic rules, India will start becoming Japan.
