Rationalists' Attempt at Osho (Bhagwan Sri Rajneesh) by            Jagmohan Singh Khurmi               So Osho Has Been 'Exposed' at last ! the most talked-about , the most criticized, the most transparent Guru ever. Perhaps the only philosopher who was able to answer every question the world asked. The person who has done this wonder is a ( so called ) Tarksheel. The book written is "RAJNEESH BENAKAB ".Literally meaning 'Unmasking Rajneesh ' (!) The author is a Karamjit Singh, a teacher at Kurukshetra University. You haven't read it ? Never mind ! No one has !The book is written in punjabi, and hence like all punjabi books rottening in book shops and newspaper stalls. (It seems that the only way left to sell a punjabi book these days is mark it 'only for adults'. So sad) He gives laughable logics to cut-down his own wrong projection of the great thinker, his one major argument against Osho is that he had never to face a serious questioner - proves his own ignorance ! In fact the legendry debate between Osho and Dr. Abraham Kovoor, ( the founder of Rationalist Society ), that begin in the weekly Current in 1977 , in which cynical Kovoor attacked Osho, in a vain attempt to prove that Osho is just another Sai Baba with a closet full of proverbial skeletons, fired back and instead churned up and exposed short-sightedness of Kovoor himself( from then onwards Kovoor came to be known as ' the irrational rationalist')

Mawali, (मवाली), is a Hindi language novel by Surender Mohan Pathak. It is based upon the biography of a fictional personality called Shyamrav Pethekar, better known as Sikander. The novel is set in Ahmedabad and draws an excellent and realistic portrait of Gujrat underworld, that is unknown in Hindi fiction.

There are actually two novels of same name

In the first version the story starts with Sikander planning to take revenge on a guy called Ratan Shah, who has cheated and killed Sikander's friend Kundan Seth.

Why there are no UFOs in India ?

A good question. But what's the answer.


The reason is really, pragmatically simple. - There is no UFO awareness .  That means that even if in a rare case they (Indians) actually happen to see what would pass in West for a UFO they won't be able to register it as a special happening ! It would be simply a flying machine, which they see now and then i.e. the primitive samples of Indian Air Force ( yes it is there !) or something civilian. I am quite aware of this because a few years ago I came across a peasant who, by chance, stumbled upon an experience of his childhood...

What Really Happened in 1947 : An Open Letter to Khushwant Singh

Dear Khushwant Singh ji,

Though there is no doubt that you know about our country and our history far better and more than I, but whenever I re-read some of your writings I feel a sort of uneasiness at your reputation for being an upright and infallible historian.

One of the cruelest and most shameful wounds on the face of our recent history is the 1947 partition riots. I was not born then but I have heard and read so much about that colossal bloodbath that I feel like almost having lived through it. And I have spent a part of my waking time wondering why it all happened?

Story by मुंशी प्रेमचंद

जाड़ों की रात थी। दस बजे ही सड़कें बन्द हो गयी थीं और गालियों में सन्नाटा था। बूढ़ी बेवा मां ने अपने नौजवान बेटे धर्मवीर के सामने थाली परोसते हुए कहा-तुम इतनी रात तक कहां रहते हो बेटा? रखे-रखे खाना ठंडा हो जाता है। चारों तरफ सोता पड़ गया। आग भी तो इतनी नहीं रहती कि इतनी रात तक बैठी तापती रहूँ।धर्मवीर हृष्ट-पुष्ट, सुन्दर नवयुवक था। थाली खींचता हुआ बोला-अभी तो दस भी नहीं बजे अम्मॉँ। यहां के मुर्दादिल आदमी सरे-शाम ही सो जाएं तो कोई क्या करे। योरोप में लोग बारह-एक बजे तक सैर-सपाटे करते रहते हैं। जिन्दगी के मज़े उठाना कोई उनसे सीख ले। एक बजे से पहले तो कोई सोता ही नहीं।मां ने पूछा-तो आठ-दस बजे सोकर उठते भी होंगे।धर्मवीर ने पहलू बचाकर कहा-नहीं, वह छ: बजे ही उठ बैठते हैं। हम लोग बहुत सोने के आदी हैं। दस से छ: बजे तक, आठ घण्टे होते हैं। चौबीस में आठ घण्टे आदमी सोये तो काम क्या करेगा? यह बिलकुल गलत है कि आदमी को आठ घण्टे सोना चाहिए। इन्सान जितना कम सोये, उतना ही अच्छा। हमारी सभा ने अपने नियमों में दाखिल कर लिया है कि मेम्बरों को तीन घण्टे से ज्यादा न सोना चाहिए।मां इस सभा का जिक्र सुनते-सुनते तंग आ गयी थी। यह न खाओ, वह न खाओ, यह न पहनो, वह न पहनो, न ब्याह करो, न शादी करो, न नौकरी करो, न चाकरी करो, यह सभा क्या लोगों को संन्यासी बनाकर छोड़ेगी? इतना त्याग तो संन्यासी ही कर सकता है। त्यागी संन्यासी भी तो नहीं मिलते।
