Cricket is Religion in India
About Indian Politics After 1947
With great insight and clarity the book describes how against great odds the Constitution was framed by seeking the widest possible consensus, as also how the Nehruvian political and economic agenda and basics of foreign policy were evolved and developed. Essential to the quest for consolidation of the nation was the integration of the princely states, the linguistic reorganization of the states, the integration of the tribals into the mainstream and the countering of regional imbalances. Among the other contentious issues considered here, with all their implications for the present situation, are India’s foreign policy, party politics in the Centre and the states, the Punjab problem, the growth of communalism, and anticaste politics and untouchability. There are detailed analyses of the Indian economy, including the reforms since 1991, the wide-ranging land reforms and the Green Revolution. These, along with the objective assessments of Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Jayaprakash Narayan, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Rajiv Gandhi, Vishwanath Pratap Singh and Atal Behari Vajpayee constitute a remarkable overview of a nation on the move.
Incisive, pithy and optimistic, India After Independence is a welcome introduction to contemporary India and reaffirms the strength of Indian democracy in the coming millennium.

About Pray of God in Hinduism
Why We Pray
To begin with we must understand as to why do we pray? There are basically 12 reasons for prayer:
We pray to depend on God for help in distress.
We pray for asking God for enlightenment.
We pray for communion with God through single-minded devotion.
We pray for asking for peace from God when the mind is restless.
We pray for surrendering ourselves to God completely.
We pray to God for giving us the ability to comfort others.
We pray for thanking God for his blessings.
We pray for expecting God to decide what is best for us when we are in a dilemma.
We pray for making friendship with God.
We pray for melting the mind and ego in silence in God.
We pray for requesting God to give strength, peace and pure intellect
Two Parts of a Prayer
In essence, what the above 12 reasons convey to us is that a prayer has two parts: one is soliciting a favor from the Almighty and the other is surrendering ourselves to His will. While the first part is practiced by most of us on a daily basis, the second part is the real and ultimate goal because it implies dedication. Dedication means feeling the light of God within your heart. If your heart is devoid of divine light, you will not be happy, cheerful and successful in your lives.
Guard Your Selfish Desires
Remember, your success depends on the inward state of your mind. Your mind will create hindrance in your work if it is not in communion with God because He alone is the permanent abode of peace. Yes, I agree that most of us want to have riches, healthy lives, nice children and prosperous future. But if we always approached God with a begging attitude then we are treating Him as our bearer to supply the things required by us at once. This is no devotion to God but devotion to our own selfish desires.
Religious Mantras
Bija Mantras Bija mantra means seed mantras. First we should understand what is Bij? The word Bij means a seed and a seed mantra is generally of one syllable, it is also known as the root mantra. A seed letter is known as a Bija-akshara. The concept behind the Bija mantra is that, when a seed is sown it grows into a fruitful tree, in the same manner the pronunciation of a Bija mantra produces powerful effects called Shakti. Each Bija mantra has it's own power and significance and when pronounced with religious mantras brings in extra power to the existing mantra. Bija mantra is also beneficial for meditation.
