The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space telescope specifically designed to conduct infrared astronomy. Its high-resolution and high-sensitivity instruments allow it to view objects too old, distant, or faint for the Hubble Space Telescope. This enables investigations across many fields of astronomy and cosmology, such as observation of the first stars and the formation of the first galaxies, and detailed atmospheric characterization of potentially habitable exoplanets. The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) led Webb's design and development and partnered with two main agencies: the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) in Maryland managed telescope development, while the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore on the Homewood Campus of Johns Hopkins University operates Webb. The primary contractor for the project was Northrop Grumman. The telescope is named after James E. Webb, who was the administrator of NASA from 1961 to 1968 during the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs.

Goodness (Righteousness) Must be Backed by Massive Strength


Structure of the Mind: The human mind is driven by the following building blocks. These are thoughts, imagination and emotions.  Actions which are led by faith, hope and love result in health, happiness and success. These building blocks are real, tangible entities which can create and shape the future. At the baser level are the instincts of ignorance, lust, greed, envy, covetousness, which lead to fear and violence.

Present structure of the Indian state:  Currently, the Indian state is governed by the executive, legislature and judiciary, the civil society and private enterprise. Amongst all these five entities, it is the nature of the legislature which has the maximum impact on society. At present, the Indian political system is such that it works on the principle of inspiring fear, promoting confusion and suppression of truth and facts to control the masses. As a result decision making, clarity of purpose, action based on faith and hope become the prime victims.

Desirable outcome in the Indian state: The following text is based on the premise that one can shape his future and that the future is shaped by deliberate, willful activity in the present when one has a clear road map for the journey ahead. This calls for purity of intent and purpose, and the pursuit of karma with dharma. It calls for the protection of righteousness and truth defended by massive strength. It calls for the amalgamation of dharma yodhas with karma yogis at the governing level. In ancient Indian philosophy, the king is an extension of GOD himself, and by default has all the necessary divine qualities for the protection and the benefit of his subjects. It is the willful creation of a governing class based on these ideals which will propel India into the league of a powerful and respected global nation.
