The real issue is the fact that before the Minister wrote to HRD minister the UNIVERSITY HAD ENQUIRED AND GIVEN CLEAN CHIT TO ROHITH and after the letter it punished him and others. Now which action is right is the bone of contention. Both Rahul and Kejriwal are not dumb or half wits, they are furthering their cause at every opportunity, a right which democracy gives them. If Congress was in power and BJP in opposition would the latter have remained quiet? Bias should not be a basis for judging.

Swamiji was no doubt a great preacher with an unusually brilliant ability to present Hinduism in its simplicity which made him loved and adored by millions. The only wrong thing that happened was that such noble soul passed away at the young age of 39 years. What more contributions he would have made can only be yearned for now.

For setting alarm to get up early in the morning, old fashioned alarm clock is the best instrument than our smart phones. When phones are near to us, we always have the tendency to read all the messages. When we read unnecessary messages, we are wasting our important time in the morning. When we lose our time unnecessary, we will automatically fall in stress. So use alarm clock instead of mobile phone for setting alarm. Everybody can follow this method without much difficulty.

I always give support to adoption. When we adopt a child, we give life to a child. If any child of our family lost his/her parents, what is wrong in that to adopt that child and look after that child like our own child? Couples who do not have children are always in stress. They can't lead a happy and peaceful family life. Adoption is the best solution for this problem. Through adoption, a child gets parents and the childless couples get a child.

The concluding paragraph of the article also conveys Vivekananda's thought very clearly. It is indeed very well written. Vivekanada always asked people to absorb the goodness of every religion. Certainly, by birth he was a Hindu and he followed that faith but never disrespected other religions. Vivekananda was respected for his wisdom and till date he is respected by many. He is known to be a philosopher and a spiritual leader and never a religious leader. He made the world know about Hinduism does not make him a religious leader because he believed in the ideas of Vedanta. Here I am adding a quote by his guru Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa which proves how they both believed in respecting all the religions. The quote: "As many faiths, so many paths"

Arvind Kejriwal is indeed a half witted, dumb person who deserves no attention. Truth is that Rohith Vemula and the ASA (Ambedkar Students Association ) the group he was an activist for, indulged in anti-national activities and were protesting against the execution of Yakub Memon. He even had the audacity to call Swami Vivekanand as a half-witted person and a fake intellectual. I found this copy of the VC's letter to Smriti Irani which clearly reveals this. I think it is high time media was reprimanded for focusing on the issue on basis of caste system and trying to polarize the students.

It is nothing but titilation of the cheapest kind...These painters take their so called freedom of expression to new heights like MF Hussain did with Hindu Goddesses !
True Usha., I feel that freedom of expression should be used to express things in a beautiful and appealing manner. Many painters of the past and present have painted and still paint human bodies in the nude, but it is the way they do it that makes the picture vulgar or beautiful. This kind of expression, especially the manner in which the likes of Upadhyay and Hussain and all their cult do is nothing but cheap titillation and teasing people!

Nude is neither bad nor vulgar...In many Western beaches especially in Copacabana in Rio , you see many ladies and men in the nude but it does not look vulgar since it fits in with the place and surroundings. It depends on the individual as to how he or she views it ..
