Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

ARIHANT   travels   EAST  ?




Some 2,500 years ago , India witnessed the presence of two great teachers , Gautam Buddha and Arihant Mahavira , both of whom preached non – violence ( Ahimsa ) / peace and harmonious living, not only among the humans but extended to all creatures on the earth



Both are believed to be contemporaries , who lived in 5 BCE and travelled widely through India to spread Buddhism and Jainism



There is no historical record of Buddha ever having travelled abroad but over the following centuries , Buddhism spread beyond the borders of India and travelled east to reach as far as Japan and China , where it became a dominant religion . Even now , there are millions of Buddhists in China



Neither did Arihant  Mahavira leave the shores of India and Jainism ( his preaching ) remained confined to India . Until now  !



It seems , after 25 centuries , ARIHANT  has just reached China !



For context , here is an indication :



 




Extract :



Residents of Shenzhen don’t dare jaywalk.

Since April 2017, this city in China’s Guangdong province has deployed a rather intense technique to deter jaywalking.

 Anyone who crosses against the light will find their face, name, and part of their government ID number displayed on a large LED screen above the intersection, thanks to facial recognition devices all over the city.

If that feels invasive, you don’t even know the half of it.

Now, Motherboard reports that a Chinese artificial intelligence company is partnering the system with mobile carriers, so that offenders receive a text message with a fine as soon as they are caught.

The system is just one cog in the vast surveillance machine that the Chinese government has been building over the last several years.



Its aim is in part public safety and security, but the information on citizens’ whereabouts and activities will also feed into China’s national social credit system



The social credit system, which will roll out in 2020, is intended to rate individuals according to a national scoring system for how trustworthy a citizen each person is.



 Citizens with a low score might be refused certain jobs, pay more for certain services, and according to China’s National Development and Reform Commission, even be banned from traveling.



According to Fortune, that travel restriction could kick in from a wide range of offenses, from spreading fake information about  terrorism  to  smoking on the train.




It seems China has cobbled together , an early version of ARIHANT ( - a hardware / software / communication / AI based , technology platform which I conceptualized in my following blogs :
