Guest guest Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 "Mohan Guptaa4India\"" What is so special about New Year Day?Sat, 8 Jan 2005 23:20:31 -0500 What is so special about New Year Day? On New Year day, a lady journalist mentioned on Hindi service of German Radio Station that She along with many other people celebrated New Year by cracking fireworks, having parties all night, and doing many other activities all night. I wonder what is so special about New Year Day. It is just another day in the cycle of nature without any kind of importance. Practically every day of the year is New Year Day for one or the religion or for one community or the other community. People who enjoy new beginnings - or are just looking for a New Year’s Redo – should know that there are roughly more than 100 major calendars in use today around the world. The next few weeks, reports The San Diego Union Tribune, will see these new years: Russians Orthodox (Jan. 14), Chinese (Feb. 9), and Islam (Feb. 10) But some calendars haven’t caught on: Christian calendar is the most defective calendar in the world. Even many western people keep making attempts to change or modify the present Christian Calendar. Present Christian calendar is so defective that no country in the world would have accepted it, which is based on Christian era. But due to the colonies, western world imposed their system of governance, their cultural ethos, their language, their festivals, and their traditions on the enslaved countries. Some of the independent countries are still in the mentally slave condition. Bharat though an independent country, but it is still a mentally slave country. Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-font-size: 12.0pt"> Calendars which haven’t caught on: - In 1793, the revolutionary French inaugurated a “calendar of reason” that consisted of 12 months, each with three 10 – day weeks (or “decades”), plus five or six days at the end of the year to make a full solar year. The changes were abandoned after 12 years, in the face of strong opposition and ridicule. While it lasted, officials prosecuted some people who ignored the new calendar. In 1805, When Napoleon received a letter dated Aug. 12, he warned the correspondent: “While a law exists, it must be obeyed.” Days later, he himself abolished the “Calendar of reason,” sacrificing it to his grander ambitions that would require good relations with the Pope. - In 1954, the International World Calendar Association persuaded the United Nations to consider its 12.0pt">proposal. The so-called World Calendar, endorsed by accountants and business people, had 13 months (or “Sols”.) The United States spurned the idea because the 4th July would have become the 17th of Sol. The International World Calendar Association now advocates a 12 – month permanent calendar. - The international Association for 2006 wants the world to adopt on Jan. 1, 2006 a new perpetual calendar that would have eight months of 31 days each, four months of 30 days each and a “Newton week” in 2009, 2015, 2020, 2026 and so on. - A website devoted to Calendar reform lists several dozen proposed calendars, including: Bonavian, Pragmatic Civil, Esperanto, Alphabetic, Raendo (it uses base – 12 numbering). Ecliptic, Long Sabbath Perennial, Poitivist (“today is Moses 7 in the year 217”) and Liberalic Triday - The tranquility calendar begins counting the years from the 1969 Moon Landing and includes “Aldrin Day” on leap year. We Hindus have NEW YEAR on Chaitra Krishna Pratipadà.As we have Màtà and Pità, we can have 2 perhaps on Kàrtika Shukla Pratipadà (which needs correction, after GOOD research); but like Prostitute (for bussiness, ball dances and drinking parties) why should we have to celebrate Christian new year also, specially when we claim to be VAIDIKA BANDHU (because we have been slaves for 1000+ years - In other nations and other religions do not share the same view for our NUTANA VARSHA)? No body has told media people how to celebrate New Year day properly. The way the media people broadcast program on New Year Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, it shows the bankruptcy of the knowledge of the media people. Once Radio German Hindi service the newsreader of Urdu service was interviewed and its Hindi service and converted into Urdu service. That was the act of stupid ness on the part of the management of Radio German and other media people. Normally interview is conducted with newsmakers and not with newsreaders. If at all interview was conducted, then what was the point in converting Hindi service into Urdu service? Once a lady journalist on VOA Hindi service was interviewing a Muslim, who was a song writer for Hindi films, the lady journalist converted VOA Hindi Service into 100% Urdu service If the Muslim writer, writes songs for Hindi films, then would he not understand the Hindi spoken by lady journalist of VOA. Are you media people not mentally slave people and spreading mental slavery? If VOA Hindi Service, BBC Hindi Service, Radio German Hindi Service are interviewing a Muslim or Urdu knowing person, then usually Hindi service is converted into Urdu service. What is the purpose of converting Hindi service into Urdu service? If you media people are interviewing someone who does not understand Hindi, then instead of converting the Hindi service program into the language of interviewed person, use interpretators or translators. Some journalist have so poor general knowledge that they cannot take right decision. Hindi media people are just sinecure people with no responsibility to the Hindi language or the quality of the program. From quality point of view, Radio German Hindi service is of extremely poor quality. Management makes no effort to improve the quality of Hindi program. As all the bosses of VO A Hindi service, BBC Hindi service, radio German Hindi service do not speak pure Hindi themselves, therefore all the journalists and correspondents have no fear of loosing their jobs irrespective how much garbage they put in Hindi or how much Bakwaas they do. They know they would not be punished or lose their jobs by using garbage type of Hindi language. Now coming back to the question of celebration of Christian New year. The proper way would have been to say prayers for the welfare of people affected in Tsunami disaster in temples, mosques, Churches, in offices. Prayers have lot of affect. Some mysteries of the nature, which have come to be known, or some new scientific discoveries have been made, the media should have discussed those mysteries of nature on New Year Day. Different communities or different countries use different calendars. Media people should have discussed those different calendars. Also media people should have discussed the flaws and good points of Christian calendar. It should have also have been discussed the importance and significance of 1st January. The Christian calendar is one of the most unsatisfactory calendars in the world. Many people have made attempts to improve this calendar. Those points made for the improvements of Christian Calendar should have been discussed. The other point for celebrating New Year is that instead of wasting money on Fireworks and on lavish parties, money should have been donated to Tsunami disaster affected people or to donate money to such Charitable organizations who would forward more than 90 % money to the intended cause. "Dr S Sharma" <dr_ssharma (AT) hotmail (DOT) com> Merry Christmas to all Hindus, Enjoy! Ignorance is weakness and weakness is sin. Hindus have suffered a lot I have read the genocide of Hindus by Christians in Goa Soon after the liberation of Goa [Dec.1961] in which a freedom fighter was killed [this family was known to us] during demonstration and agitation and after that Goa was liberated. I remember it well ON 19.12. 1961 the Russian leader had arrived for a visit to India. Pt. Nehru had given ambiguous hint that something may have to be done to free Goa. I think people are ignorant about Portuguese rule, torture the worst Torture one can imagine not only in India but also all over their occupation and recent history of Angola is before us that before leaving Angola they destroyed the country in every sense of the word and Angolans will never recover from that. I hope these facts are translated in various Indian languages for awareness. The Islamic genocide of Hindus is also a very painful story. They are still doing the mini genocides only the names have changed. On the name of Christ and Islam they have so much blood on their hands that they cannot clean the stains by water of all the seas of the world. The worst has yet to follow between Christians and Muslims, the war which started on 9/11 will go on for a thousand years if we take the Quotations of k-------------. May God give us wisdom to live in peace? jaya hind. "Sajita" <sajita7> Hindus are a pathetic lot! Nothing can move them! I just cannot believe the height of selfishness in them! India is right now under Christian rule, Tamilnaadu is also under Christian rule, Telugu Desam is under Christian rule, and complete NE India is under Christian rule. So I wish the Hindus 'Merry Christmas'! I simply love your posts and I hope you write more often in all Hindu groups to enlighten them. You know my beloved husband says to me? He called me to watch the Indian News 'aniin' stuff in the evening. He asked me stop my Cooking and come and watch the news! It was a surprise to me. He says, 'Look, you are wasting my hard earned money for the Internet ($20-$30) each month on your Hindu tattva, Hindu tattva'. Look what the Hindus in India are doing. They are celebrating Christmas, they are celebrating Valentine's Day, and they are going to bars and drinking. India has become worse than any western country! We should regularly post on mythological Jesus. It would be nice to email to each and every convent and parish the post on Goan Inquisition on Christmas! Stop Using word Shurkhiya in any Form BBC Hindi service prints the word Shurkhiya on their web site and also uses this word many times in audio news bulletins. In Hindi, Shurkhiya does not carry the meaning, which you media people want to convey. Please use the word “Samacharo Ka Shershak”. In Hindi, words like Akhwaar Dastaan, Faisala, Hadsa, Hafta, Haasil, Izaafa, Izzat, Jaroori, Kamyaaab, Karobaar, Katam, Khabre, Koshis, Kudrat, Khusi, Khaas, Madad, Maksad, Mahsus, Manjar, Matahat, Mudde, Masla, Mahoul, Moka, Mutaabik, Nawajan, Nuksaan, Takreevan,Takreer, Tareeka, Talab, Tamanna, Tareeka, Tasveere, Zaria, Zalzala, Wajah, Waqt, etc. should never be uttered or used. This is a great shame and scandal that on the name of Hindi these journalists use lots of Urdu and English words. Such programmes in Hindi on Radio and TV channels not only harm Hindi but in long run such programs in polluted Hindi are going to harm the journalists own jobs and existence but it will be too late then. Further to this, most of these journalists cannot speak in one language while on air. They have to use Urdu and English words to complete their sentences. Therefore these journalists are not fit to be in the jobs they are in. According to norms they are good for nothing. If you are in English Channel you cannot mix the words as they do in Hindi Channels. This shows the slave and servant mentality of Hindi journalists and they have no self respect and pride in them selves or the language they speak. Language spoken by Hindi journalists is A MIXTURE of languages. It is the weakness in the Hindi journalists character / qualification and poor standard of their qualifications and standard of universities from where journalists get their education.I suggest that these Hindi journalists must go for regular tests and trainings to improve their Hindi and there must be a monitoring system to see how much non Hindi words they are using and their progress must depend on that if they do not improve then their jobs must be terminated. Better still they must get some knowledge of Sanskrit as Sanskrit is not yet polluted by Urdu and English words. You media people use so many Urdu and English words in Hindi, while proper Hindi words are available, I wonder does your conscious does not bother you people that you people earn money on the name of Hindi but promote Urdu and English languages. Shame on you Hindi journalists. All of you Hindi journalists should drown them selves in Chuulubhar paani. ====== Mail - now with 250MB free storage. Learn more.
