Amrit from Ocean of Milk
Betrayal by God's team!
This story is a part of Bagavata purana vishnu purana and also mahabharata.
That story maps on to several broken promises and betrayals among the humans.
The story goes that in the ocean of milk where Lord Vishnu, the protector of lives, floating on a large snake, has deep inside has AMRIT.
Anyone Consuming a little AMRIT will be freed from death.
There are two teams in the upper world, constantly waging war with each other.
Devas - higher lives than humans! and their sworn foes - the Asurs.
There would be frequent fights between the twi.
Devas will be helped by Vishnu and Asuras will be pulped-up.Some episodes would appear Gods are unjustly taking sides with Devas. In no case Deva's won on their own, without the intervention of higher gods.
One such is the episode is churning the ocean of Milk.
Promise them that they would share half of it.
The churing starts.
(Let us ignore events till the Armit appears)
Finally, Dhanvantari, the heavenly physician, emerged with a pot containing Amrita, the heavenly nectar of immortality.
Fierce fighting ensued between Devas and Asuras for the nectar.
To protect the nectar from Asuras, the divine Garuda took the pot, and flew away from the battle-scene.
The Devas appealed to Vishnu, who then took the form of Mohini and as a beautiful and enchanting damsel, ( Mohini distracted the asuras, (This is too bad - unethical) took the amrita, and distributed it among the Devas, who drank it. The story ends with the rejuvenated Devas defeating the asuras.
Betrayal in Mahabaratha style
This is what happened during and after Indian Independence
This is precisely what it took place in post independent India. Both poor and elite took part in freedom struggle.
Poor gave away their life and elite went to jail.
After freedom, the power to rule was snatched away by elite, the business families and political leaders.
Leaders playing the role of British and Elite playing Zamindars.
The common man, the poor among citizen left slave as his ancestors did for several centuries, as daily wage earners.
Why Elite, Political leaders hate Aam Admi Party
What Aam Admi Party promise and deliver is a very small part of that the common man really deserve.
- Traditional parties elite wants to perpetuate what our aggressor did for 200 years.
- Stashing away wealth to other economies
- Sharing nation's wealth among political class and business class.
