  • FROM the HAIR of SHIVA to the HAIR of the PROPHET … and Other Essays
    FROM THE HAIR OF SHIVA TO THE HAIR OF THE PROPHET … and other essays SAUVIK CHAKRAVERTI The soft parade has now begun, Listen to the engines hum, People out to have some fun, Cobra on my left, Leopard on my right! JIM MORRISON The Doors 2 DEDICATION To travel and travelers. And to the fond hope that, someday soon, travel in my great country will be safe, comfortable and swift. May Shubh Laabh and Shubh Yatra go together. Bon Voyage! 3 FOREWORD I am a firm believer in the social utility of enjoyable politico-economic journalism. Economists like Frederic Bastiat and Henry Hazlitt have set alight the minds of millions with the fire of freedom, not by writing dissertations, but by reaching out to lay people through jouernalism. These include dentists, engineers, architects and various other professionals who really need to know political economy in order to vote correctly, but have never had the opportunity to study it formally; or rather, in school, they have been MISTAUGHT! They are thus easily led astray by economic sophisms that justify protectionism and other damaging forms of state interference in economic life. It is for such people that I have penned this volume and I offer it to the general reading public so that they may not only enjoy the read but also appreciate the importance of Freedom: Freedom From The State. In this I have attempted to be extremely simple in my arguments – there are no ‘theories’ presented. There are also a series of travelogues which explain reality on the ground as we see it, and contrast East and West.

It seems to me that I am taking a bath in the lake of nectar here.” - {Translated} Sanskrit Poet Kalidasa { This piece of our religious history is for my Grand-Daughter Praharshita, which gives a peep into way of life of Naga’s; Manus {Aryans} , their connection with original inhabitants and immigration to various parts of Bharatvarsha and Kas’mira; Vedic Religion and evolution of a mixed culture and religion of Naga’s and Aryans in Kas’mira. Which transited through Buddhism, Shaivism and finally to Kul Devi worship. } Kas’mira - The Vale of Gods And Evolution The Vale of Gods. Ancient Greeks called Kas’mira ‘Kasperia’ and the Chinese pilgrim Huen- Tsang, who visited the valley around 631 AD, called it “KaShi-Mi-Lo”. Sir Walter Lawrence writes this about Kas’mira; “The valley is an emerald set in pearls; a land of lakes, clear streams, green turf, magnificent trees and mighty mountains where the air is cool, and the water sweet …”. Sir Francis Young Husband, adventurer, who blazed trail across Himalayas writes about a temple in Kas’mira: “…... built on the most sublime site occupied by any building in the world-finer than the site of Parthenon, or of the Taj Mahal, or of Saint Peters or of the Escurial…...the snowy ranges which bound it-so situated in fact as to be encircled, yet not overwhelmed by snowy mountains-stand the ruins of a temple second only to the Egyptians in massiveness and strength, and to the Greeks in elegance and grace….
