Today the terms “left wing” and “right wing” are used as symbolic labels for liberals and conservatives respectively, but they were originally coined in reference to the physical seating arrangements of politicians during the French revolution in 1789. The divisions only continued during the 1790s, when newspapers began referring to the progressive “left” and traditionalist “right”. In India Leftism initially developed within Congress, with Nehru and Bose at the helm of socialist movement. In 1928, they both advocated for complete Independence and socialistic revision of economic structure of society. After Russian Revolution many left groups and trade unions were formed in India on the ideologies of Marxism. Most of these groups came together in 1925 in Kanpur and founded an all-India organization under the name Communist Party of India. (CPI)which couldn’t spread its wings in India except West Bengal, Kerala and some part of North east.

 

 

The profound analysis of the political scenario as it is emerging today is the polarisation of powers & ideologies. Majority part of the world is fighting today a twofold war. One against the leftist ideology which believes in suppression & dictatorship the second against the Islamism forces. Both are hellbent to bring humanity to the state of helplessness & agony. The leftist country like China quite annoyed with the cocooned state of their ideology and the Islamist forces, both fighting for their survival are looking for ways and means to gain lands, capture nations not by elaborate battels or wars but adopting indirect ways. While china wants to acquire the status of economic giant by showing dominance in manufacturing, production, technology and Islamic countries having control over the fuel market of the world want the nations to dance on their tunes, quite evident from the opposition offered on the introduction of electronic vehicles introduced in the markets of different nations. Ever since with the emergence of right-wing leaders like Narendera Modi, Benjamin Netanyahu, Donald Trump & others. China & like-minded nations have started feeling suffocation of being pushed to the wall. the only way left is to fight back with the proxy wars not with the weapons but through the biological war and it seems this battle has already began with the clarion call of sacrificing lives of their own people in Wuhan city by some unknown Novel virus called Carona or Covid 19. It is the dreadful contagious flue like disease which has already taken majority counties in its grip. So horrific is its impact that the world has already began calling it Chinese virus.

 

 

The minute case study of the pandemic has made the international community to raise eyebrows over the Chinese intention to afflict the entire world. How miraculously this virus originated from Wuhan could travel thousands of Km’s to reach Europa, USA, India skipping its neighbouring cities like Beijing & Shanghai with least impact?

 

 

The history of biological weapons is surprisingly long almost as early as 600 BC.1 when humans found out how to make arrows and other primitive weapons; they used to put poison that was taken from animals or plants on their weapons. And kill their enemies so they either die from the wound or the poison. And sometimes they were putting poisons and animal faces in their enemy’s food and drink.

 

 

The biological weapons are divided into two parts, the first part is its history before the twentieth century and the second part is after the twentieth century, because of the scientific revolution and inventions in that era. The following are just a few examples throughout history: It causes fear and confusion among the people. Biological weapons can do way far that just causing death and, it creates fear in the hearts of people. And the goal is to confuse and disrupt political, economic and social activities; a small number of infections may cause a huge panic among innocent citizens and a real fear.

 

 

During the Roman Empire animal carcasses were used to contaminate their enemies’ wells. This helped them to make their enemy sick therefore beating them was easy. Biological weapons are considered the most dangerous of all known weapons of mass destruction. They are used to deliberately cause epidemics among humans; destroy the environmental components, including water, air, and soil; and target crops and livestock. Examples of diseases used in biological warfare include anthrax, smallpox, plague, cholera, and avian flu. In addition to the catastrophic effects of biological warfare on the biodiversity and the environment, their danger lies in their low cost and rapid spread, as well as their easy preparation, transport, and use.

 

 

At one end where the world is looking towards India to show them the light out from this darkness. Our puranic and Vedic knowledge can save from us from the vagaries that has come over the humanity in the present times. The contagious potentiality of Covid19 virus have been aptly compared with the “Rktbeeg” a demon of our puranic times by some of religious philosophers. It is no hidden fact how mata Durga taking the Kali Swaroop did not even let his single blood drop to fall to save mother earth from its havoc.

 

 

At the same time the world must learn from Japanese. This Chinese gift entered Japan through the ship (Diamond princes) Japan had witnessed Corona in the month of January 2020. Japan was the first victim country. japan has highest number of foreign tourists in its land even today Japan is no different from Italy when it comes to the percentage of old age people. Tokyo is one among world densely populated city and cold climate. Despite all that there was no shut down regular markets malls trains metro and bullet trains, all the international boarders & airways are functional. Except schools & social gathering are off. In such case Japan should have been in 4th stage like Europe & USA. Fortunately, this country controlled it at the very 1st stage. I think the probable reasons for this is the behaviour and lifestyle of Japanese. Most of them wear mask, right from the moment they step out of their homes. Kodomo mask boxes for kids are found almost in each family & kids also use that in routine. They will not spit anywhere in public place. Cleanliness is part of their culture. Washing hands, using sanitizer and maintaining hygiene in public places is taught to the kids before they get introduced to alphabet. Social distancing is in their behaviour. Usage of wet tissues is their routine practice when they are on travel.

 

 

Today every Indian needs to take up the role of Maa Kali and prevent the spread of this dreadful infection by staying at home, following all the guidelines & spending time with their families & in prayers, in austerity, reliving our age old ethos & habits which we had left far behind in the race of endless desires. It also recalls me recent past when Sitaram Yechury of CPI(M) “No one can dictate to anybody what they should eat and what they shouldn't eat? leaders like D Raja, Mamta, Awasi came on roads on the “cow slaughter bill” in India demanding “Kuchh be Khane ki Azadi” freedom to eat. Mr Yechury & gang, if we go by the Chinese story of Bat, Rat & snake then your food habits certainly impact me.
