1 SO MISSIONS THAT ARE MOTIVATED BY ALTRUISM TOWARDS LARGE NUMBER OF
PEOPLE OR LIFE FORMS ARE THE REAL RATIONALITIES.
2 Often I wonder how any people are oppressed irrespective
of their quality
3 Very few mention the name of Satyarthi the Nobel Prize
winner or a person like Sunitha Krishnan. These great Missionaries are not
known even among elites.
4 fake income, fake asset etc as part of the dictionary
so that they get wide notice and propels mass action, but it appears as a
natural travail of any good mission, the very phrases have been
unofficially banished in one forum, wherein paradoxically the members have
a vital interest in the subject.
KR: 1 Being rational means to be guided by reason, logic, or
principle. It can also mean to have the ability to think and express
oneself in a clear and consistent manner.
சாதி யிரண்டொழிய வேறில்லை சாற்றுங்கால்
நீதி வழுவா நெறிமுறையின் - மேதினியில்
இட்டார் பெரியோர் இடாதார் இழிகுலத்தோர்
பட்டாங்கில் உள்ள படி. – நல்வழி
சொல்லுமிடத்து, பூமியில் இரண்டு சாதியின்றி வேறில்லை, அவ்விரண்டு சாதியாரும்
யாவரெனின், நீதி தவறாத நல்வழியில் நின்று முறையோடு வறியர் முதலானவர்க்கு
ஈந்தவரே உயர்வாகிய சாதியார்; ஈயாதவரே இழிவாகிய சாதியார்; உண்மை நூலில் உள்ள
இயற்கை இதுவேயாம். கொடுத்தவர் உயர்குலத்தினர்; கொடாதவர் இழிகுலத்தினர்;
இவ்வகையன்றி வேறு சாதியில்லை
By the way, there is nothing but two castes on earth. Of those two castes,
the highest caste is the one who stands on the righteous path and follows
the poor first; charity the giver. ON-GIVER is the lowest caste; This is
the nature of the book of truth. The giver was the upper class; Those who
do not give are despicable; There is no caste other than this.
Hence altruism holds, the persons on top of all. But suppose
altrism is followed because there is tax exemtion, then it is not a true
altruism but still, holds water in the Rajo and thamaso level but not on
par with the SATVA. Whether it is covered by rationalism isa doutful
question. Rationalism I sthat of mind; Religiasm that of the heart.
Altruism is beyond all these. Here is a say once you think you shall give,
you must do it at that second or else, your rational thinking may alter
your actions; or your love may say why just think well and then exercute;
which might emotionally stop you from. So altrism does not obey your mind
or heart. It arises out of your cult to share all as if a well water for
the public only (Tiruvalluvar). Tax avoiders cum Altruists may be the
rationalists.
2 Yes suppressed is the right word, inspite of the quality and merits.
However, our edic dharma said that Karma determines one’s life and so, the
suppression was caused by the self. And similarly, the rewards for the
undeservings are also on par with that Karma. For the Rationalists, it is
not acceptabl; so, what could cause such situations? I am good, but he went
up- is your postulation, then you could be partial in your own evaluation
and so ationally unviable. On the contrary, so many in different sectors
feel so, then when things were happenning, why did not they reveal it, by
protest? why did they remain silent? So, we are totally responsible or
remained irresponsible, but questioning the propriety, commanding, why I am
over looked? Hence, life is with a lot of undulation; and we have to take
it with a pinch of salt.

Swadharma, meaning one’s own Dharma, is derived from the words
Swa meaning for oneself and Dharma. Swadharma has been explained as the
lawful conduct of oneself based on one’s ability. It requires one to be
aware of one’s strengths, abilities and weaknesses. The idea of Swadharma
is emphasised in the Bhagavad Gita. The Bhagavad Gita states that if one
accepts Swadharma, the actions that one performs becomes effortless. This
is because the ability to perform these actions come naturally and the
complexity of the task is not an impediment. The Bhagavad Gita also says
that it is better to perish while performing Swadharma rather than perform
actions that should be performed by others. This is because one will
perform one’s Swadharma with great conviction but such conviction is not
guaranteed when doing someone else’s Dharma.
Bg. 3.35
श्रेयान्स्वधर्मो विगुणः परधर्मात्स्वनुष्ठितात् ।
स्वधर्मे निधनं श्रेयः परधर्मो भयावहः ॥ ३५ ॥
śreyān sva-dharmo viguṇaḥ para-dharmāt sv-anuṣṭhitāt
sva-dharme nidhanaṁ śreyaḥ para-dharmo bhayāvahaḥ
It is far better to discharge one’s prescribed duties, even though
faultily, than another’s duties perfectly. Destruction in the course of
performing one’s own duty is better than engaging in another’s duties, for
to follow another’s path is dangerous.
When we do the acts of dharma, many things would have been avoided but we
do not but raise it as adharmic.
3 EXACTLY MENTIONED SIR; I SALUTE YOU ; I AM ALSO GUILTY OF IT.
Kailash Satyarthi has been a tireless advocate of children’s rights
globally for more than four decades. Through his organisation, Bachpan
Bachao Andolan, he has directly rescued more than 100,000 children from
child labour, slavery, trafficking and other forms of exploitation. The
Global March Against Child Labor, which he led, galvanised support in 103
countries resulting in the adoption of ILO Convention 182 on the Worst
Forms of Child Labor, which in 2020, became the only universally ratified
convention in the history of the ILO.
Sunitha Krishnan (born 1972) is an Indian social activist and chief
functionary and co-founder of Prajwala, a non-governmental organization
that rescues, rehabilitates and reintegrates sex-trafficked victims into
society. She was awarded India's fourth highest civilian award the Padma
Shri in 2016.Krishnan's passion for social work became manifested when, at
the age of eight years, she started teaching dance to mentally challenged
children. By the age of twelve, she was running schools in slums for
underprivileged children. At the age of fifteen, while working on a
neo-literacy campaign for the Dalit community, Krishnan was gang raped by
eight men. They did not like that a woman was interfering with what they
claimed as “man’s society.” They beat her so badly that she is partially
deaf in one ear. This incident served as the impetus for what she does
today.
Prajwala
In 1996, sex workers living in Mehboob ki Mehandi, a red light area in
Hyderabad, were evacuated. As a result, thousands of women, who were caught
in the clutches of prostitution, were left homeless. Having found a
like-minded person in Brother Jose Vetticatil, a missionary, Krishnan
started a transition school at the vacated brothel to prevent the second
generation from being trafficked. In its early years, Krishnan had to sell
her jewelry and even most of her household utensils to make ends meet at
Prajwala.
Today, Prajwala stands upon five pillars: prevention, rescue,
rehabilitation, reintegration and advocacy. The organization extends moral,
financial, legal and social support to victims and ensures that
perpetrators are brought to justice. To date, Prajwala has rescued,
rehabilitated, or served over 28,600 survivors of sex trafficking and the
scale of their operations makes them the largest anti-trafficking shelter
in the world.
Ms. Krishnan was appointed as advisor for the Government of Kerala's
Nirbhaya policy for Women and Children to fight sexual violence and
trafficking in 2011. The scheme, which was originally drafted by Krishnan,
is coordinated by various government departments like social welfare,
SC/ST, police, health, labor and local self-government in collaboration
with NGOs. However, she resigned from this advisory position on 4 August
2014, expressing anguish and frustration at the lack of political will to
implement the Nirbhaya policy. In March 2015, in a "move of repentance" the
government re-inducted Sunitha Krishnan back to its Nirbhaya scheme by
giving her more decision-making power through the role of Honorary Director.
She was also appointed as a member of the Andhra Pradesh State Women's
Commission and contributed to India's new Bill on Rape, which was passed in
Parliament in 2013 to increase punitive measures for sexual violence and
assault.
"She brought the house down in Mysore today. And by that, I mean that she
broke hearts and moved people to action. The audience listened painfully to
some of the stories of the more than 3,200 girls she has rescued, girls who
had endured unimaginable torture and yet, somehow, nevertheless found the
will to heal and thrive… Her strong voice and powerful body language
ensured that no one could claim to have misunderstood her points."
Film making
Early in her career, Krishnan forayed into film making as a tool for
advocacy. She conceptualized and scripted 14 documentary films on socially
relevant issues such as youth and HIV/AIDS, Sheikh marriages, incest,
prostitution, sex trafficking, communal riots, among others.[43] Some of
the films she has helped develop and co-produce include:
Mein Aur Meri Sanchaien (Hindi)[44]
Needalu: An Insider’s view into the World’s Largest Criminal Enterprise[45]
The Man, His Mission (20 mins, Hindi)
Bhagnagar (10 mins, Hindi)[46]
On Freedom and Fear (30 mins, Telugu, English)
The Sacred Face[47]
Me & Us (23 mins, English)
Astha – An Ode to Life (25 mins, English)[48]
A Chance to Live (25 mins, English)
Anamika–The Nameless (28 mins, Telugu, Hindi)
Building Bridges[49]
Aparajita
Naa Bangaaru Talli (4 National awards)
The 2005 documentary Anamika—The Nameless[50] won the AC award under "Best
Foreign Award" category, Best Editing from Festival Cine de Granada and
Best Documentary Film Award at the HIFF.[51] Prajwala's shockingly vivid
film The Sacred Face also broke the silence about the horrors of incest
among high-level officials in Hyderabad.[52]
Research and publications
In 2002, Krishnan and Bro Jose Vetticatil conducted an action research and
publication of a document entitled The Shattered Innocence on inter-state
trafficking from Andhra Pradesh to other states, revealing the reality and
magnitude of the crime along with a demographic profile of vulnerable
communities Upon submitting this report to the government, a state-level
consultation on the need for a multi-sectoral approach to address the issue
emerged.

4 There is always a difference between LAW and DHARMA. What you
sauy may be a dharma. But Law is defined as “law
(1) : a binding custom or practice of a community : a rule of conduct or
action prescribed (see prescribe sense 1a) or formally recognized as
binding or enforced by a controlling authority
(2) : the whole body of such customs, practices, or rules
The courts exist to uphold, interpret, and apply the law.
(3): common law
(1): the control brought about by the existence or enforcement of such law
The Indian government is believed to have detained thousands of other
people last year … . The government said the move, decried by critics as
draconian, was necessary to maintain law and public order in the region.
—BBC.com
(2): the action of laws considered as a means of redressing wrongs
also : litigationdeveloped the habit of going to law over the slightest
provocation—H. A. Overstreet
(3): the agency of or an agent of established law
When he saw that the fighting was escalating, he called in the law.
c: a rule or order that it is advisable or obligatory to observe
a law of self-preservation
d: something compatible with or enforceable by established law
The decrees were judged not to be law and were therefore rescinded.
e: control, authority
The child submits to no law.
2a often capitalized : the revelation of the will of God set forth in
the Old Testament
B capitalized : the first part of the Jewish scriptures : pentateuch,
torah
see Bible Table
3 : a rule of construction or procedure
the laws of poetry
4 : the whole body of laws relating to one subject criminal law probate law
5 a : the legal profession
studied for a career in law
b : law as a department of knowledge : jurisprudence
c : legal knowledge
a man with much history but little law
6 a : a statement of an order or relation of phenomena that so far as is
known is invariable under the given conditions a law of thermodynamics
Boyle's law
B : a general relation proved or assumed to hold between mathematical or
logical expressions
Various roundabouty definitions conditioned. Income is always
inflated only. In the kingdom of Rajaraja chozhan may be a dime fetched so
much jewellery and so can 1960s compare iy and say now it os 4 annas is too
much? Income is inflation and there is no standard yard stick. Hence the
incame is real or Fake does not arise at all. It is time bound in your
space. Taxation is by the Govt. As I said earlier if one were exempted in
that logic, all income would become, untaxable; and what would be the
income that should be taxed becomes a wonder. Again only the taxed income
is retaxed; because you earn ,,pay tax; but reinvest to earn more so gets
taxed as it is in a time in your space.
