Why I want to read Subrata Roy’s book titled Life Mantras

A wise person once said, “situations can make or break you”. You can either let the situation affect you and your outlook or you can see how to make the most of it. Life Mantras written by Saharasri Subrata Roy isn’t an autobiography but rather a philosophy of sorts derived from his current as well as past life scenarios. Having been imprisoned since 2014, Subrata Roy has indeed faced hardships. The judicial case launched against him has not only shaken his empire but also the perception people have of him. It may seem hard to form an idea of who Saharasri really is but as the saying goes ‘as a man thinketh so he is’. Life Mantras is Saharasri Subrata Roy’s reflection of his mind and the life experiences/ jewels that he dwells on. Being in jail may have confined him physically but Subrata decided that four walls could not confine his free-spirited mind and his generous heart to share his knowledge with the world. Managing a business as large as Sahara India not only helped Subrata Roy perfect his business skills but also helped him gather knowledge on understanding human life. Having successfully managed over 12 lakh workers under him he also strove to implement his philosophy of ‘Collective Materialism’, which propagates collective growth. Although now in jail and not heading his employees, Subrata has not stopped putting forward this philosophy and has completed a trilogy titled Thoughts from Tihar. The books in this trilogy are titled as Life Mantras, Think with Me, and Reflections from Tihar, all of which are philanthropic in nature and shed light on how to have a more fulfilling life full of happiness, contentment, and peace. Although not an autobiography, his book talks of his real-life experiences and involves you in their rawness. It may seem as one among many books but I’d like to hear the thoughts of a man who has gone through so much and still chooses to follow his philanthropic heart.

Salman – Subrata – Frozen Justice!

Do you think one crime will be wiped off with thousands of good deeds? Justice doesn’t mean that one bad guy goes to the jail; it just means that someone pays for the crime. Sadly, in India, the innocent victims and their families have to do this. Few days back, we heard about superstar Salman Kahn being acquitted of all the charges in connection with the 2002 hit-and-run case. This decision has shattered all hopes in the Indian Judiciary system, which is biased and believes in serving frozen justice. In this country, we are all bound to respect the court’s judgement. So what if Salman was drunk, so what if he was drunk-driving, so what if he killed a homeless man, so what if he blamed other man of committing this heinous crime, he deserves to walk free. And that’s exactly what the Bombay High Court decided, they released him knowing that he is the guilty. Now that's the law of the land, and there's no point questioning the judgement.

On the other hand, we have Subrata Roy, the pioneer of the great Sahara India, and an honourable business man who was termed as ‘the second largest employer in India'. He has always treated all his employees as his family, and thus he pleas Sahara India to be his Sahara Parivaar. He is a self-made man who loves his employees and was even looked up on by his competitors. But today his life has taken a miserable turn. He is being rotting in the jail for more than 21 months without any charges. There are more than 12 lakh employees who are not being given out their salaries, a large number of people is being suffering due to this gruesome decision taken by the High Court. They say that justice consists not in being neutral between right and wrong, but in finding out the right and upholding it, wherever found, against the wrong. But where is the justice now? 

Salman-Subrata – A crazy legal saga

This country amazes me. Its legal system amazes me. Its political system amazes me. Being an Indian normally is something I am incredibly proud of. But when I come across such blatant hypocrisy all I can do is be amazed. Look with amazement at the double standards and the injustice. The favouritism and the mob mentality. The country at most times rises as one to de-cry an injustice. But then there are also times where it either completely ignores an injustice. Or in some worse cases, the media pumps up the world with false information and then you see the people rise up against an innocent, a victim. And the public shaming and the scorn that person has to face is terrible.

Recently Salman was released from a long running case of where he was accused of running over some pavement dwellers. He was drunk, driving fast, in the prime of his career, famous and loved by the public. A legal dance began that finally ended this year. It involved a lot of drama. It was I am a little ashamed to say slightly entertaining. But I felt that in the end justice would indeed be served and the guilty will be imprisoned. After all, the case did seem pretty clear cut. He was guilty. There were witnesses. There were statements. There was evidence. But now Salman is gone blameless. The verdict is that he did not do it. It wasn’t him behind the wheel. Here we see a person very clearly guilty of a crime – that too a crime that involved the deaths of innocent people. This was murder! And yet he went scot-free.

And then on the other hand we have Subrata Roy. The patriarch of Sahara parivaar. A business man who created an empire. A man responsible for giving jobs to 12 lakh people. A man loved by his employees and respected by them as well as his colleagues. And where is he? He is rotting in prison for 21 months without any charge. What exactly is going on here? Do you have any answers?
