2006 Centenary Year Celebrations
Prof. Madhav Sadashiv Golwalkar 1906 - 1973

modern India’s greatest thinkers and
reformers, a modern Rishi in true spirit.
“In a world so full of misery of all
kinds, there can be no nobler ideal than
to serve the weak and downtrodden.”

“In all the Miss India beauty contests,
the real beauty of India is missing.”
“If Pakistan cannot be mended, it has to be ended.”

l Our conviction is that lasting
Peace can be established through
Propagation of Dharma.
Our Mission to organize the Hindu society
to realize this vision.

l The focus of Sangh is ‘Man-Making’ which is
necessary to carry out this mission.

Yogi Arvind Said
“The country whose
young men are
inspired by the glory
of the past, pain of
the present and
dreams of the future
always moves on the
path of progress.”


Yogi Aurobindo said,
I want to be RICH,
I want to be POPULAR,
I want to be POWERFUL
I want to be GREAT

not for my sake but
for the sake of my country.

Yogi Aurobindo said,
All the countries live in falsehood.
If only one country stood courageously for
truth, the world might be saved.
Let us reiterate our commitment to
Kshatriya Dharam,
make our politicians learn to make
Bharat stand up to the world,
be economically strong with fully
equipped armed forces.


Swami Sivanand said,
To be timid is the greatest sin.
To be selfish is the greatest offence.
To identify oneself with the body is the greatest crime.
To forget one’s own Atman is the greatest sin.
Therefore destroy timidity and selfishness. Abandon
identification with the body and remember always
your essential divine nature.

Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee
responsible for
• 9% Hindu Rate of Growth of GDP – second highest
in the world.
• 11 and 13th of May 1998:
5 successful Nuclear Tests at Pokhran

1. Changing India’s Global Image from a borrowing country for the
past 50 years to lending country. India now has a Foreign Exchange
Reserve of over 300 Billion dollars.

Technologies, Super Computer, Fast Breeder Reactor, Remote
Sensing Camera, Cars, Trucks, Motor-bikes, Pharmaceuticals,
Mobile Phones, Engineering Goods, Diamond Cuttings, Soft-wares,
Information Technology, Production of milk, rice, tea, vegetables,
fruits etc.

Thoughts Expressed by Dr Abdul Kalam
Do we have answers to his questions
l We want foreign TVs, foreign shirts & foreign technology.
Why this obsession with everything imported?
Do we not realize that self-respect comes with self-reliance?
l Look at Dr Sudarshan (and Nanaji Deshmukh). He has transferred the
tribal village into self-sustaining, self-driving unit. There are millions of
such achievements but our media is only obsessed in the bad news and
failures and disasters. In India we only read about death, sickness,
terrorism, crime. Why are we so NEGATIVE?
l We complain - Our roads are not good. Public places are not clean. We do
not have proper drinking water & electricity. Our hospitals are over
crowded. India is No.1 in AIDS, Malaria, TB, blind people; We say,
Government is indifferent (towards Terrorism, Bangladeshi infiltration,
demographic imbalance & conversions. It indulges in over appeasement of
Minorities. What has been our duty & Responsibility?)
l We make boardroom talks against the practice of (bride burning,
infanticide of girl babies, caste hatred, untouchability &) corruption. But in
our own lives we practice them.
l We know that 22% of our population is illiterate & below poverty line.
What do we do about it.
l What is our duty? How to be Pro-active

How can I Serve Dharma?

4. Do I have the qualities to serve Dharma?
Each individual has certain physical, psychological and spiritual

Swami Vivekananda’s Secret for Success
"Each nation has an identity and destiny.
As far as Bharat is concerned,
Hindu is its identity and religion is its way of working"

There is no limit to the power of the human mind. The more
concentrated it is, the more power is brought to bear on one
point. That is the secret.

Have faith in yourself – all power is in you – be
conscious and bring it out. Say I can do everything.
 Whatever you do, devote your whole mind, heart and soul to it.
 Conversion is not one Hindu less but one enemy more.
 Daridra Narayano bhava; Murkha Narayano bhava.
 Serve man serve God.
 They alone live who live for others; the rest are more dead than alive.

Why India Makes Missiles

If India's rocket can hit any target with nuclear bomb and if India has
sufficient numbers of bombs and means to deliver, West will start
respecting India and her Hindu philosophy.

When India made 5 Nuclear tests, US President Bill Clinton said India is a
land of Buddha and Gandhi.

But India is a land of thousand Buddhas and Gandhis
from Vedic Age onwards.
How many Bombs should India possess for the world
to know all our genius.

Without power no one will respect us

American nuclear physicist
(1904-1967):

"If the radiance of a thousand suns were to
burst into the sky, that would be like the
splendor of the Mighty One. . . . Now I am
become death, the destroyer of worlds.“
Oppenheimer "the father of the atomic bomb"
quoting from the Hindu scripture Bhagavad-Gita
upon witnessing the mushroom cloud resulting
from the detonation of the world’s first atomic
bomb in New Mexico, U.S.A., on July 16, 1945.
“Access to the Vedas is the greatest
privilege this century may claim over all
previous centuries.”

Albert Einstein
(1879 -1955):

“When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect
about how God created this universe
everything else seems so superfluous.”

"We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us
how to count, without which no worthwhile
scientific discovery could have been made.”

“I have made the Gita as the main source of my
inspiration and guide for the purpose of
scientific investigations and formation of my
theories.”


Erwin Schrodinger (1887-1961),
Austrian theoretical physicist, Nobel Laureate 1933

On the dualism of mind and matter
"The only solution to this conflict, in so
far as any is available to us at all, lies in
the ancient wisdom of the Upanishad."
“Some blood transfusion from the East to the West”
to save Western science from spiritual anemia.”

Dr. Satyendranath Bose, (1 Jan 1894 - 4 Feb 1974)
Mathematical Physics, worked on Quantum Mechanics in the
early 1920s, providing the foundation for Bose-Einstein statistics
and the theory of the Bose-Einstein condensate. He is honored as
the namesake of the boson.
Although more than one Nobel Prize was awarded for research
related to the concepts of the boson, Bose-Einstein statistics and
Bose-Einstein condensate—the latest being the 2001 Nobel Prize
in Physics, which was given for advancing the theory of Bose-
Einstein condensates, Bose himself was never awarded the Nobel
Prize. Bose spoke several languages and could also play the
Esraj, a musical instrument similar to a violin.

In 1924, he spent a year in France and worked with Marie Curie, and met
several other well-known scientists. He then spent another year abroad,
working with Einstein in Berlin. His work ranged from X-ray

“IIT = Harvard + MIT + Princeton”
“IIT = Harvard + MIT + Princeton” , says CBS ‘60 Minutes’.
CBS' highly-regarded ‘60 Minutes’, the most widely watched news programme in the US,
told its audience of more than 10 Million viewers that “IIT may be the most important
university you've never heard of."

"The United States imports oil from Saudi Arabia, cars from Japan, TVs from Korea and
Whiskey from Scotland. So what do we import from India? We import people, really smart
people," co-host Leslie Stahl began while introducing the segment on IIT.
“…the smartest, the most successful, most influential Indians who've
migrated to the US seem to share a common credential:
They are graduates of the IIT.”
“…in science and technology, IIT undergraduates leave their
American counterparts in the dust.“
“Think about that for a minute: A kid from India using an Ivy
League university as a safety school. That's how smart these guys
are.”
There are “cases where students who couldn't get into computer
science at IIT, they have gotten scholarships at MIT, at
Princeton, at Caltech.”

1. The nuclear deal is an agreement between
India and the US for the US government to
supply nuclear fuel and reactors to India.
Dr P. K. Iyengar
Chairman (Retd.), Atomic Energy Commission

Contrary to common perception, the nuclear deal or the 123 Agreement is not
a commitment on the part of the US government to provide us with
uranium or nuclear reactors. Presently American law prohibits nuclear
cooperation with India because we have not signed the Non-Proliferation
Treaty (NPT). All the nuclear deal does is to grant a 'waiver' from that
law, so that American companies can now pursue nuclear trade with
India. However, if India conducts a test at any time, the waiver is revoked.


2. Imported uranium and nuclear reactors

will be cheap and cost-effective.
Dr P. K. Iyengar

Even if the nuclear deal is made operational, the actual sale of uranium and
nuclear reactors will be governed by market forces – there are no
guarantees of cheap or competitive nuclear power. To the contrary, there is
every reason to believe that it will be expensive. The cost of uranium in the
international market has gone up four-fold in the last few years, and will rise
further with further demand. The same is true of the cost of steel and other
materials used in a reactor. Manpower costs are much higher in the West. The
example of the Dhabol power plant has already shown us that importing
power plants from the West is not necessarily a viable option. We would
do well to learn from that experience.


3. The nuclear deal will safeguard our energy security.

Dr P. K. Iyengar

It is true that nuclear energy is green energy, and therefore essential for our
long-term energy security. But this does not translate into the nuclear deal
will ensure our energy security. Power from the nuclear reactors that we
buy will definitely be more expensive than indigenous nuclear power.
Further, to keep the reactors running, we will always be dependent on
imported uranium, which is controlled by a cartel – the Nuclear Suppliers
Group (NSG). Therefore, the nuclear deal, by making us dependent on the
cartel, will only compromise our energy security. Only our indigenous
nuclear power program can truly ensure our energy security. And in any
case, for the next few decades, nuclear power will not exceed 6% of our total
electricity production.

4. Importing nuclear plants is a quick-fix
solution to the present power crisis.
Dr P. K. Iyengar

Nuclear technology is sensitive. Even if the nuclear deal goes through, it will
take time to buy and setup new reactors. We have examples of the French
reactors in China, and the Russian reactors in Kudankulam, India. It
will actually take longer to setup foreign reactors compared to
indigenous ones. Just the negotiations and legal formalities could take years.
It will be at least eight years before we see the first power. So importing
reactors is certainly no quick solution. For the short term, we will still have to
rely on coal and hydroelectricity.


5. The nuclear deal does not stop India from further
nuclear testing, and therefore does not compromise
our national security.
Dr P. K. Iyengar

It is very clearly stated in the 123 Agreement it will be subject to
national laws, and the Hyde Act is a law of the US. Therefore, the 123
Agreement is certainly circumscribed by the Hyde Act, which very
clearly states that if India tests a nuclear device, all further nuclear trade
is to stop, and the nuclear materials that have already been sold to us
have to be returned. No future Indian government would dare to
jeopardise such a huge investment in nuclear power, by testing. So, for
all practical purposes the nuclear deal caps our strategic programme –
which is precisely what the Americans intend.


6. We can pass a national law to counteract the Hyde
Act, and this will protect our strategic programme.

Dr P. K. Iyengar

Just as the Hyde Act is not binding on us, our laws are not binding on
the US. We can certainly amend our Atomic Energy Act to enable
participation of the private sector in nuclear power. But if we pass a law
saying that we will retain the right to test, it will have no influence on the
actions of the US. If and when we test, they can simply quote the 123
Agreement and the Hyde Act, and pull out all their nuclear materials,
leaving us devastated. The only option here is to renegotiate the 123
Agreement and have the clause inserted there. However, the Americans
are unlikely to agree to this, since it goes against their non-proliferation
policy.


7. The nuclear deal and the safeguards agreement
give India the status of a nuclear power.

Dr P. K. Iyengar

While the 18 July 2005 Joint Statement did indeed talk about India
being treated as an equal by the US, neither the 123 Agreement nor the
IAEA Safeguards Agreement, have borne out those optimistic
statements. In fact, the IAEA safeguards agreement that has been
negotiated is closely based on the model agreement that IAEA has for
non-nuclear weapon states. The safeguards agreements that the nuclear
weapon countries have signed with the IAEA require them to put very
few reactors under safeguards, and allow them to take reactors out of
safeguards. India, however, will have to place most of its reactors under
safeguards for perpetuity. Therefore we are certainly not being treated
as a nuclear weapons country.

8. Without the nuclear deal, we cannot get adequate
uranium for our domestic nuclear programme.

Dr P. K. Iyengar

The Department of Atomic Energy has always maintained that we have
enough indigenous uranium for 10,000 MW of nuclear power for 30
years. We are not yet close to that number. The present mismatch in
uranium availability for operating reactors is a consequence of poor
planning, and inadequate prospecting and mining. There is talk of
importing 40,000 MW of nuclear power, which will cost not less than
$100 billion or Rs. 4 lakh crores. If even 10% of this money were spent
on uranium mining in existing mines in Andhra Pradesh and Meghalaya,
on searching for new uranium deposits, and negotiating with non-NSG
countries, there will be enough uranium for a robust indigenous nuclear
power programme, until such time as thorium reactors takes over.

9. The safeguards agreement with the IAEA guarantees fuel
supplies even if India conducts a nuclear test.

Dr P. K. Iyengar

The safeguards agreement only notes, in the preamble, that India's
concurrence to the safeguards is linked to getting fuel supplies. However,
the IAEA has no role in this matter, and certainly, no such commitment
is given in the safeguards agreement. It also notes that India may take
'corrective measures' in the event of a disruption of foreign fuel supplies.
It does not specify what these measures will be, it does not provide for
any role for the IAEA in this, and it does not bestow legitimacy on any
such measures that India may take. It may well be that any such
measures that we suggest, such as importing fuel from another country,
will be disallowed by the nuclear cartel (the NSG). The only tangible
corrective measure is for India to explore and mine more uranium, and
to enhance the enrichment capability to provide fuel for those reactors.
The latter is subject to uncertainty.

• The nuclear deal has no impact
on our foreign policy.
Dr P. K. Iyengar

The Hyde Act states clearly that it is the policy of the US to secure India's cooperation on a
number of issues involving Iran, including its capability to reprocess nuclear fuel (in spite of the
fact that Iran, as an NPT signatory, has the right to enrich uranium for use in light-water
reactors). This has nothing to do with the nuclear deal, and can only be related to influencing
our foreign policy. Recent statements by Gary Ackerman, Chairman of the US House Foreign
Affairs Committee, regarding Indo-Iran gas pipeline, only add fuel to such suspicions.
It can therefore be seen, that the Indo-US nuclear deal is not in the national interest. It
presents the very serious danger of capping our strategic programme. That alone is reason
enough not to go forward with the deal. Additionally, it does not guarantee the energy security
that we are seeking, and, in fact, may only end up making us as vulnerable to the nuclear cartel,
as we are today to the oil cartel.
It is easy to see why the US wants this deal so badly. At virtually no cost, since there is no
commitment towards fuel supplies, they can cap our strategic programme, bring us into the
NPT net, through the back door, as a non-nuclear power, keep a close eye on our nuclear
activities, including R&D, through intrusive IAEA inspections, and subjugate us to the wishes
of the nuclear cartel. If there were no cartel, we could have easily extended the Kudankulam
agreement for more reactors, and avoided the present situation. If these are not reasons enough
not to go ahead with the nuclear deal, then there are no reasons that reason can find.

Mistakes of Nehruvian Economics
Nilekani on things that changed India
1. Gigantic human capital
"Earlier, population was looked at as a burden and a lot of things that
happened in the 1960s and 1970s -- like family planning and
sterilization and the Emergency and so forth -- were all related to the
belief that population was getting out of control and that it was
actually a problem to have a large population."
“Human capital has become the core and the essence of what is
happening in India and is at the root of India's resurgence today," he
said.

2. Entrepreneurship gains acceptance
Nilekani said another significant change in mindset was regarding
entrepreneurs who are no longer viewed with suspicion but as icons of
economic growth.
"Entrepreneurship in India is blossoming and Indian entrepreneurs
are not afraid of liberalization anymore. They are very confident and
globally competitive and they are not only investing abroad, they are
buying companies abroad."

3. Change in democracy
The notion of democracy had also undergone a major transformation
from the time of India's independence. "In the 1950s and 1960s, it was
really a top-down idea. It was an idea of the leaders who had a certain
vision of the kind of country they wanted to create, and it was given or
gifted to all the people who may not have necessarily understood the
value and import of what was happening."
Today, he said, "it has gone to become a bottom-up democracy where
everybody understands their democratic rights -- not just in the sense
of parliamentary democracy or contesting elections. You see people
taking charge and doing things in India without waiting for the state
to do the job. For example, NGOs (non-governmental organizations).
Today, India, is the most thriving place in the world for NGOs."
"Another example," he pointed out, "is the empowerment at the
village level -- the village panchayats -- more then a million women
who are there in these panchayats."
