Jesus Christ was a true rebel and his life was a continuous revolt against the corrupt political and religious leaders of his time. As Christians we need to follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ and revolt against the corrupt, greedy, selfish and rogue elements that have infiltrated the Christian (catholic/protestant) religious orders, revolt against parish priests who misuse church funds, revolt against parish priests who are illegally selling away vacant church properties, revolt against christian/convent schools which refuse to reserve 50% seats for christians, revolt against corrupt sarkari babus, revolt against corrupt politicians, revolt against inflation, revolt against various scams & scamsters, revolt against slumlords, revolt against mafia backed builders, revolt against the incestuous network between the land mafia - bureaucracy - muncipality - builders - politicians, etc etc etc. We also need to encourage our Christian youth to work towards becoming IAS-IPS officers, Doctors, Lawyers, Architects, Engineers, CAs, IITians, etc etc etc. We also need to enourage our Christian youth to apply for jobs in Banking sector, Muncipality, Police forces, Commando Units, Defence Forces, Judiciary, etc etc. We also need to encourage Christian activists to contest Lok Sabha, Assembly, Municipal elections. We need to improve the standard of living of everyone.
To solve the shortage of priests in our churches we need to develop electronic robots and programme those robots to perform different types of masses.
If the Indian govt. can set aside 150000 crores for the defence budget why not set aside a budget of a few thousand crores to fund the election campaigns of politicians this way the politicians will not have to depend on builders, slumlords, landmafia, underworld for election funds. The Govt. should provide election funds to only those candidates who have been consistently involved in social work in their respective areas for the last five years.
Whatever negative things in India are happening because successive governments failed to improve infrastructure, industries, job opportunities in rural & backward districts, failed to strictly enforce the two child policy, failed to control female foeticide/infanticide, failed to pass stringent anti-corruption laws, failed to recover the black – hawala – swiss money and OFCOURSE failed to setup fast track courts to deal with Divisive Politicians & their Hired goons.
In Kerala some bishops are persuading the lay Christians to have more children but this persuasion is not going to work because Christians irrespective of whether they live in Kerala or any other part of India are only interested in one or two children. Planet Earth does NOT have Unlimited Resources to satisfy the wants and needs of every individual hence population control is justified. Christians across the world are sensible enough to have one or two children it is the other communities especially Muslims & Hindus whose population keeps growing and needs to be controlled.
In this country named India, democracy means rioting on the streets, attacking innocent civilians, going on strike every two days, stifling expressions of speech, destroying property, and spreading civil terror...Most of these marauders are religious-political parties, political leaders, and their hired goons. In other words, the very people who pull the levers of this democratic machinery are the ones looting and plundering on the streets.
At the heart of the problem in the corruption in the catholic church in Bombay is the concept of sole trusteeship whereby powers of acquisition, disposal and sale of Church property are vested in one person, the parish priest. With the surfacing of scams and the knowledge that parasitic priests are easily let off with punishment transfers, the growing fold of doubting Thomases has brought fundamentals to the fore. It is a crisis of character and not one of faith. As in every walk of life, priesthood is no longer a vocation, it is now a career. There's nothing wrong with it except that a priest should have the necessary qualifications that his work profile demands. The increasingly incensed laity is finally unwilling to go along with the conventional 'pray, pay and obey'. And with the willful loss of Church land, one notion has been gaining ground: that priests just want to have funds and why do the priests need tons of funds ? obviously to live a luxury lifestyle.
An important feature of Maharashtra 's economy is its pathetic dependence on the Bombay Metropolitan region. The Bombay Metropolitan region accounts for 75 per cent of the industrial activity in Maharashtra and nearly 65 per cent of the factory workers in the State. It is because of Bombay that Maharashtra appears to be India 's most urbanished and industrially advanced State. But excluding Bombay, even now, Maharashtra is not merely as backward as any other state in India but in certain respects indeed more backward than many other less industrialized states of the country. The infrastructure of the economy of rural Maharashtra is not much developed, Villages in Maharashtra generally lack adequate means of transport and communication. Particularly road mileage in Maharashtra is found woefully inadequate when compared to that in many less industrialized states in India.
Bombay culture is characterized by dhandha (transaction). The ethic of Bombay is quick enrichment. A well-executed scam is considered "a thing of beauty". Billionaires and repulsive deprivation abide in Bombay city where violence and muscle power can strike without warning. The corruption in BMC is the root cause of all the slums & illegal constructions in Bombay.
Unlimited Floor space Index, Unlimited TDRs, Exploitation of open spaces – mangroves – saltpanlands – gardens – playgrounds for construction purpose, SRA buildings, MHADA buildings, Skyscrapers, Big budget Residential complexes, Govt. Housing colonies, Maharashtra Rental Housing buildings a lot of construction is happening all across the Bombay region without any study being carried out on how all this constructions will affect the environment, water supply, transportation, garbage, drainage, etc etc etc.
