Youth demand logical answers and actions

Rushdie makes money out of this circus.

He got another ambitious (Tamil Iyer) girl Padma Lakshmi hooked to him (she is quite a calculative one too).

Padma Lakshmi moved through the upper crust of NY and London as his wife.. Then she jumps into the real money (yes, private equity) by divorcing him and marrying/or having an affair with Fostermann (??).

At the end of the day, Rushdie, Jaipur lit festival etc is all about making money – tonnes of it.

Freedom be damned..

“Rushdie’s presence in Jaipur wouldn’t have caused a ripple had it not been election time in five states including the politically crucial Uttar Pradesh where Muslim voters are a major factor. To that extent, one cannot dismiss out of hand the charge that Congress governments at the Centre and in Rajasthan orchestrated reports of life threats to the author of Satanic Verses to keep him off the Indian shores.”

This says it all. What the four writers did was nothing unusual. They excercised their choice of leading an ordinary/peaceful life with their family in the security of their homes rather than getting picked up by the state police and charged under some laws and stay rotting in one of the filthy Indian jails till the time a suitable lawyer bailed them out. Remember, they are not celebrities or powerful businessmen/politician who get preferential treatment.

They were advised by their leagal help to move away – and rightly so.

The only thing that needs discussing/debating is what was the state supposed to do/did in this situation.

Salman Rushdie’s literature and M. F. Husain’s art, both of an extraordinarily high standard, would not have suffered if they had avoided giving gratuitous offence by not writing / painting some things that would deeply offend the religious sensibilities of normal people.

No balls, no Shame

Concluding paras
———————

Instead, India showed a face that it never seems to outgrow: of a society that is scared of obscurantism, scared of the internet, scared of its army chief, scared of the media, scared of the corrupt, scared of its neighbours, scared of its poor, scared of its indigenes, and most of all, scared of itself.

In effect, after many years Rushdie has, successfully if not deliberately, held a mirror up to us. We ought to cringe at what we see. Nearly three decades later, it is the return of Shame.

======

Scared of many more things – Scared of Foreign Direct Investments, scared of loony fringe elements across religions, scared of free thought and expression.

Others may add to the list.

@ Vinod Sharma

Sir, this blog thrives as amongst the best on the internet, only becasue of the democratic freedom it gives. In case it was a one sided affair with tributes to the Congress only posted, many of us would have not bothered to shoot, but would have chosen to scoot.

Well you have thrown a sly challenge to the brave writers who took up the cause of literary freedom. That either you die to prove your commitment or otherwise you are fake.

Now most of us– barring one or two– are dead against the evil terrorists who regularly come from Pakistan to destroy our country. Now none of us is in the armed forces. So does it imply that unless we go out and fight on the border– and give our lives– our support to the army has no meaning?

Would love to have your considered opinion.

PS: In case you choose to duck this… I think all of us would get the answer.

Barbarity of the Brahmin” as described by two Brahmin writers
,
gopi and aaloke especially for u,

V.S. Naipaul, himself a Brahmin whose ancestors had settled abroad centuries ago, gained international celebrity status when he wrote the book, Wounded Civilisation portraying “Hindu India” as a stupid, idiotic country ruled by his own jatwalas.

While he gained name and fame from his literary achievements, his jatwalas in India became furious and denounced him as a third rate writer because he honestly condemned Brahmins as topclass frauds. This made the Brahmin in Naipaul to mellow and realise as he grew old that if he continued jabbing at his jatwalas the “Jews of India” would prevail over Jewish-controlled Nobel Foundation to deny him the Nobel prize. The Brahmin in Naipaul prevailed and he started praising the Brahmins. By then it was too late. Naipaul got the award after he started praising Brahmins. The Brahmin in him killed the genius in him.

Beef-eating Brahmin: We are reproducing a passage from his book, Wounded Civilisation, in which he exposed the Brahmin hypocrisy and dwelt on the strong anti-Brahmin fury prevailing in India. Naipaul was impressed with the novel of a fellow Karnataka Brahmin writer who too in his younger days married a Christian girl, ate beef, sang Lohia lullabies and the Brahmin media boosted him sky-high and hailed him as “socialist savant”.

Topclass frauds: Soon the Brahmin in him prevailed and turned him into a “Socialist Brahmin” who is more dangerous than a “Sacred Brahmin”. (Read our book, Socialist Brahmin vs. Sacred Brahmin, DSA-).

His Kannada book, Samskara, Naipaul says, very beautifully portrays the “Brahminic barbarity” and the Brahmins as topclass frauds.

The problem with the Brahmin is very serious. No Brahmin has so far been able to get over this dotage — the victim of his own sick society.

During his younger days the Brahmin is fired by the youthful idealism and he turns a marxist, naxalite, maoist, anarchist, atheist and what not. That is how M.N. Roy, the Bengali Brahmin, became founder of the Indian Communist Party and advocated wholesale Hindu conversion to Islam to liberate India from Brahminism (Read his book, The Historical Role of Islam, photocopy available with DV).

S.A. Dange, Chairman of the Communist Party, as he grew old came to the conclusion that “all the wisdom of Karl Marx came from the Vedanta”, for which he was expelled from the party itself. The Marathi Brahmin died a vedantist.

Look at the mischievous Justice V.R. Krishna Iyer who fell in love with Dalits and successfully duped both Dalits and Muslims but continued to mouth socialist slogans.

The “famous” E.M.S. Namboodiripad died as an orthodox marxist Brahmin (DV Edit Nov.16, 2009: “EMS was Brahmin first, communist next: Cheated Dalits, BCs, Muslims & destroyed Kerala”).

Jawaharlal Nehru, the fire-eating socialist, out of love for his Kashmiri Brahmins, fought a war with Pakistan for the sake of his jatwalas and permanently put the Himalayan state in thrishanku swarga —despite the UN verdict that Kashmir is a “disputed territory”.

Caste above the country: We have not came across one Brahmin who has been honest with his conscience because the sanskara does not permit him to go against his jati. This sanskara is hanging right over his head like a dagger and throughout he lives with this fear. That is why to him his caste is greater than the country. Show us one Brahmin who has gone against the sanskara. This is the tragic story of a Brahmin which Naipaul relates here

Excerpt

Even though the Gujarat Lokayukta Act,1986, can do nothing to a chief minister, the Gujarat government is hiring top-most legal eagles to challenge the appointment of Justice (retd) RA Mehta as lokayukta in the Supreme Court. The reason? It appears that Modi is afraid that a lokayukta indictment may become a political bombshell and mar his chances of moving to the “next orbit”. Having supported Anna Hazare in pitching for a strong Lokpal, Modi fears public opinion and not the lokayukta per se.

@Ravi, you have posted that the very mention of the sentence The Satanic verses , gets the muslims lungoat in a knot. Well this a copy and paste from a serious islamic scholar
To repeat, Rushdie did not originate the satanic verses. Nor did Jews, Christians or other non-Muslims. Our information about the satanic verses and the circumstances surrounding their revelation stems from the reputable Muslim accounts of at-Tabari and Ibn Sa’d. Muslims today who simply dismiss the account of these writers as fabricated and unhistorical must at least answer the question why such reputable persons would report it. The question is not new. But, it seems, a serious Muslim response is hard to find.

Has anybody seen the film by a CATHOLIC Martin Scorsesse, THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST, the premise is christ has having second thoughts as to all this “son of god” business was worth the effort , or better he fantansises life with Mary Magdalene(a former prostitute , but converted by christ)
Or for that matter THE PASSION OF CHRIST , which shows in graphic detail the suffering of Christ when taken for crucifxation , with people yelling soldiers whipping , blood dripping from everywhere, JEWS DID LINE UP IN FRONT OF CINEMA HALLS AS A PROTEST, which only made Mel Gibson a very rich man .
But there what it ended.

THE PROBLEM WITH ISLAM IS THAT A TINY MINORITY WITH HYPER ACUTE SEX DRIVE IS SETTING THE AGENDA , AND THEY HAVE AS MUCH SCHOLARSHIP AND OBJECTIVITY AS THE NUMBER OF FUNCTIONING BRAIN CELLS IN A MULTI INFARCT DEMENTIA PATIENT

Ban – vs – Forfeiture
—————————

Reading ‘Satanic Verses’ legal

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Reading-Satanic-Verses-legal/articleshow/11622048.cms

Excerpt

The technical term for banning a book in India is “forfeiture”. This is provided in Section 95 of the Criminal Procedure Code under which every copy of the book could be declared “to be forfeited to government” and the police might therefore “seize the same wherever found in India” and the magistrate might issue warrants to search “any premises where any such book may be or may be reasonably suspected to be”.

But this sweeping provision was never invoked in the case of Satanic Verses, although India earned the dubious distinction on October 5, 1988 of being the first country in the world to have banned that book of Salman Rushdie. All that the Rajiv Gandhi government instead did was to ban the import of the book.

Ashok Malik
Jan 23, 2012

Excerpt

Rajiv Gandhi’s motivations were decidedly domestic. His Congress government was in the midst of turbulence, caused by the surrender to conservative Muslim opinion in the Shah Bano case in 1986. To compensate for it, Gandhi then opened the locks to a contested shrine in Ayodhya, and so began a downward spiral. The Satanic Verses ban was the next milestone.

What were the two salient consequences of that period of 1986-88? First, by the early 1990s, it had triggered a Hindu backlash, gratefully exploited by the BJP, and cost the Congress heavily. Second, it took a toll on civil liberties and artistic freedom. Till Satanic Verses, book bans in India did take place but were relatively few. After October 1988, stated and unstated bans became an epidemic.

Victims ranged from James Laine (who wrote a biography of Shivaji) to M F Husain (every exhibition of whose, even those featuring paintings not even remotely objectionable, was threatened). State sensitivity to street sentiment reached such ridiculous levels that when Da Vinci Code was released in 2006, Priyaranjan Das Munshi, then the information and broadcasting minister, held back the film from cinemas till he had reviewed it in the company of Catholic priests. Tellingly, the censor board had already cleared the film.

India became the first country in the world where the national government stepped in to take a decision on Da Vinci Code. This would not have happened – and those who hounded out Husain from his beloved India not been emboldened – if it hadn’t been for the Satanic Verses precedent.

Vinodji,

yesterday, on Times TV, Vinod Mehta said, to the surprise of all viewers and other panelists that Salman Rushdie was in close, continuous and two way contact witht eh four Indian writers, who read out portions of the banned novel, Satanic Verses.

It means that he has informed them the correct legal position vis-a-vis the ban on the novel.

Salman Rushdie himself has said on NDTV that the ban pertains only to the import of the book at the point of the customs and nothing else. He also said that Rajiv Gandhi himself had said, while banning the book that the ban in no way reflected on the literary value of the book, which was very high.

How, then, can you accuse the four Indian writers of “shooting and scooting”? Why should they scoot after ’shooting’, if it is not illegal to read, even in public, the novel?

For your information, the police have clarified that there is no warrant against them.

The siren song of Hindutva

http://www.hindustantimes.com/News-Feed/ColumnsOthers/The-siren-song-of-Hindutva/Article1-801736.aspx

Excerpt

Federalism – the constitutional acceptance of diversity – is compatible with ideological acceptance of multiple cultures. It is here that the BJP’s celebration of federalism is at variance with its commitment to Hindutva. The latter is widely seen by social scientists like Christophe Jaffrelot, John Zavos and Jyotirmaya Sharma as an attempt at making the loose network of Hinduism monolithic, organised and regimented.

In this sense, Hindutva fits better with a unitary state with an all-powerful Centre. Little wonder then that Jana Sangh ideologue Deen Dayal Upadhyaya, who the BJP swears by till date, strongly advocated a unitary state in India. He wrote in his work Integral Humanism: “Our constitution needs amendment. We are one nation, one society. However, despite all this, we made our constitution federal. It runs counter to the unity and indivisibility of Bharat. Therefore, our constitution should be unitary instead of federal.”

manohar-t jee,vijay shenoyv and ravi jee,

Aishwarya Rai is of the Bunt / Shetty caste of Karnataka orchard.
Bunts are a backward caste and VTR has written about it. Bunts are shudras. The oppressed people who have come from the feet of God. Aishwaraya proved to the world that she is the smartest and beautiful when she won the Miss World title. Brahmins the most cruel race in the world could never digest it. When Aishwarya Rai joined movies the brahmin and Bania toilet papers like Times of India, Hindu and Indian Express were seething with jealousy. They made claims that she does not know any acting. They always sided with their jatwallah actress like the maharistrian brahmins Madhuri Dixit and Sonali Bendre.
The wily upper caste people in Bollywood tried to set up Aishwarya Rai with the upper caste wallahs. But our Shudra sister Aishwarya never relented. It was during this time when she was harassed by these papans that Salman Khan rescued her. Salman Khan being a muslim wanted to get married to Aishwarya Rai and save her from the oppressive Hindu caste system. A system which has crushed and oppressed our men and especially women. But the upper caste wallahs started spreading all kinds of rumors about Salman Khan. They called him a cocaine addict. These brahmins can go to any length. They will tell what suits their need. Finally they implicated Salman Khan in a fake accident case. They split these two people so that Aishwarya can stay in the evil Hindu caste system. This is what all these upper caste people have been doing to Dalits so that they can never escape from their tyranny.

Shiromani Akali Dal candidate and former SGPC president Bibi Jagir Kaur said that she would not rest in peace until she got her own back at the Election Commission officials who had registered cases against her, her family and associates, for allegedly trying to bribe voters with liquor. Earlier, she had been in trouble for her relative donating Rs 21,000 to a school in her constituency — an expense that was totted up to her campaign by the EC. However, Kaur was unapologetic — in fact, she was apoplectic, framing the EC’s decision as a personal affront that deserved retaliation. Instead of disclaiming her allegations, party leader and Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal echoed her indignation, claiming that the EC officials were coerced into the action, and that “FIRs would be registered against those who had filed the FIRs”.

ultimately truth has come out from mouth of a kashmiri brhmn,

Salman Rushdie is a “poor” and “sub-standard writer” who would have remained largely unknown but for his controversial book ‘Satanic Verses’, according to Markandey Katju, till recently a judge of the Supreme Court.

Katju, who is now the chairman of press council of India, criticised the admirers of India-born author based in Britain, saying they suffered from “colonial inferiority complex” that a writer living abroad has to be great.

“Salman Rushdie dominated the Jaipur Literature Festival. I do not wish to get into the controversy whether banning him was correct or not. I am raising a much more fundamental issue,” he said in a statement here.

“I have read some of Rushdie’s works and am of the opinion that he is a poor writer, and but for ‘Satanic Verses’ would have remained largely unknown. Even ‘Midnight’s Children’ is hardly great literature,” Katju contended.

He went on to add that the “whole problem with the so-called educated Indians of today is that they still suffer from the colonial inferiority complex. So whoever lives in London and New York must be a great writer, while writers living in India are inferior.”

On the controversy surrounding Rushdie during the festival which ended yesterday, he said, “I am not in favour of religious obscurantism. But neither do I wish to elevate a sub-standard writer into a hero.”

ANOTHER FEATHE R IN THE CAP OF OUR WOULD BE PM,

In yet another setback to Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi, the Supreme Court on Wednesday directed a panel headed by former apex court judge MB Shah to investigate over 20 cases of alleged fake gunbattle killings in the state between 2003 and 2006.
The apex court bench headed by Justice Aftab Alam said that it was open to the monitoring authority headed by Justice Shah to constitute its own investigating team of police officers from within and outside the state.

Mr. Richard Dawkins, a famous author who has always criticised all the religions
in world has given an interview supporting Salman Rushdie.

Very interesting.

Excerpt.

Faith is a state of mind that leads people to believe in something – it doesn’t really matter what – without a whisper of doubt or a wisp of evidence; and believe it so strongly, in some cases they are prepared to kill and die for it without the need for further justification.

“This is the terrifying thing about faith,”

Guys , you visit this blog with the hope of coming across something which is not covered by the news of the local TV of your area.
Well two days ago in BBC2 Newsnight , there was a program on China. It showed something very ominous .Apparently all the animation work for London Olympics is outsourced from China. One thought only slave labour products are shipped out , NOW BANGALURU NEEDS TO BE WORRIED.
The recent Padma Awards also very ominous for the future of INDIA.
DHARMENDRA AWARDED PADMABHUSHAN, NEXT IN LINE SHOULD BE HE HE BALWINDER SANDHU, what a joke.
I DID NOT SEE ANY SCIENTIST AWARDED ANY PADMA . AND NOW THER ARE HARANGUING MADHAVAN NAIR.
Devi Shetty has been awarded, BUT HIS CONTRIBUTION TO THE SCIENCE OF SURGERY IS ZERO.
He has apparently devoloped a mass production Bypass Surgery Hospital, with good results. First the data may be dodgy. Bypass Surgery is the MOST SIMPLEST OF ALL CARDIAC SURGERY , NOW A DAYS IS DONE ON BEATING HEART WITHOUT BYPASS, THE IMPORTANT BIT IS PREOPERATIVE EVALUATION .
My Teacher Prof Subir Chatterjee , who has written a world reknown book on Malformation of **** in children , with an experience of 2500 cases operated by him (he is 84yrs now), he is a member of Internation panel on this subject.
Yet he has not even considered for a padmashree.

- higher PISA ranking next year
- higher HDI ranking
- less corruption and more effective prosecution of the corrupt
- less people going to bed hungry every day and sleeping under an open sky
and, finally
since none of the above will be possible with UPA or Congress in charge (as shown by their track record over 60 years of misrule); a more proactive and caring government tops my wishlist.

Dear Rizwan,Shoeb and Parvez,

Whenever I plan to write some critical thing on Islam in this Blog, I momentary experience sort of Guilt feeling.I feel that I would be hurting people like you, Shoeb and Rizwan .But then I have analysed it, should I keep quiet because it is going to hurt my Brothers,friends. Let me use words of Dear Shan. Let us make this Blog for Men and not Boys.That does not mean that we have to be abusive to show our manliness. However truth has to come. Particularly truth that is important for future of this country.I have said it earlier also, I do not want my views to be tied to my Ego. I would be happy to be corrected.We have had great tradition of Shastrarth ( we can loosely call it Discussion) in this country. A son , otherwise being socially very respectful towards his father, will not hesitate to say things which may be totally against views of his father in Shastrarth. You and me are both progeny of same Ancestors, let us not be afraid of discussion. No one looses in such interaction, except loss of our inflated Egos.

As explained earlier also, root cause of many of our problems lie in certain basic flawed ideas or mis-interpretation of some ideas. If we address our concerns here, we can solve or avoid many intractable problems.

My Brothers/Friends, please do not feel uneasy with mention of Taimur and Ghazni.You are not responsible for what they have done. In the same way, Hindu born should not be un easy when topic of Caste in-equality comes up.They have not done it. Yes, if they deny it, then they also become culpable.I do understand, having born in a particular faith, having seen all your near and dear ones following that faith, some very fervently,many of those you have seen are good and nice people, it becomes very very difficult to think that the philosophy could be basically flawed. But then, here comes differentiation between Man and Boy.Go ahead and decipher truth yourself.

First step in resolving a problem comes with analysing a problem, followed by its acceptance. Solutions can be derived only after that. But if we do not expose ourselves to analysis of a problem, we can not take further steps.

Salam namaste everyone !!

I thought this is going to be a lazy 26 Jan best spent lazing around but the debate out here and the fact I have been remembered tempts me to blog and give my comments for whatever they are worth. Aaloke since you mentioned my name — let me tell you I am stoic enough to take any comment, so as per your requirements, man enough to soak in any offence!

Rizwan, my views on Rushdie may be at variance with yours as I dont think he has anything more than any nuisance value if you dont like him, and a non religious value if you like his writings. And Balwinder Uncle (?), thanks for your kind words.

Now what do I think of Rushdie? If it is important,… then… I feel he was just another writer, who has come into gross focus just becasue fo the ban. I have read the Satanic verses–despite the ban– it is available. I feel Rushdie was just making a parody on Quranic characters and scriptures. A sort of friendly comic book, just to cater to his readers and sell his magic realism, which at times does require patience to read. There is no real intent to hurt Muslims, not even any intent to reform or anything heavy. just a bit of comic book style writing for adults who stopped reading comics! It would be unfair to bay for his blood, with the feeling that “here was a guy who was an agent of US out to destroy Islam…”

Salafis, Wahabbis and consevatives would find it all too confusing as there is no tradition in Islam and Islamic writings which can question the word written in Quran and present it differently. I will live with and horror of horrors.. at times even smile. They will not. To them my message would be , “grow up brothers… relax and enjoy it and if you dont like the book just ignore it.”

This huge anti Rushdie tamasha has unfortunately got all the hardlimers out of their ratholes and would end up damaging the moderates who have started looking ineffective and silent. Sadly no political party could strongly come out and say, let this guy come and go and even if you dont like him, ignore him.

@Pralhad Sir, and Mohan R, Once the late Kanan Devi’s husband was on a jury board of National Film awards, Urvashi and that kind. He recounts in his memoir HE WAS ASKED BY A FELLOW JURI , WHO WAS ALSO A BOLLOYWOOD POTBOILER MAKER , TO GIVE THE AWARD TO

Kanan Devi’s husband RESIGNED IN DISGUST

[Reply]

Folks I dont think anybody in this blog has read the satanic verses properly.
Let me recount what it is all about.
It begins with an explosion in Air India jumbo(allusion to kaniska bombing by khalistanis in canada) over the skies of england. Thus drops from the plane Salim Chancha (aka Amitabh Bacchan) and zeenie baby(aka Zeenat aman)
Now the story or the narrative is their meandering the streets of London MOSTLY THE PARTS INHABITED BY THE BANGLADESHIS.This is a narrative of DERACINATION of being a foreigner , or not being able to belong. Also he takes snipe at the Bangladeshis CONDUCTING TELEPHONE TALAQ TO WIVES LEFT IN BANGLADESH.
Now suddenly the next chapter is headed RETURN TO JAHILIA which has no OUTWARD OR OBVIOUS link or bearing to the preceding chapter. This is essentially THE STORY OF PROPHET WHEN HE WAS HOUNDED OUT AND HE WAS FIGHTING BACK.
It also tells a little bit about Arabia of that time , AS YOU KNOW THE VICIOUS AND VILE MUSLIM HISTORIANS HAVE COMPLETELY ERASED FROM LIVING MEMORY ANY TRACE OF HISTORY OF PREPROPHET ARABIA, AND CONSIGNED IT AS JAHILIA (Darkness)
Now THERE IS NOT A SINGLE LINE THAT IS DEFAMATORY TO THE PROPHET,
I challenge anybody to reproduce those lines.
As I have mentioned before , Yes he calls the companions of prophet SCUM AND BUM . There were prostitutes trying to lure the prophet BUT HE IS SHOWN TO BE A MAN OF STRONG CHARACTER AND IS ABLE TO FEND OFF ANY ALLUREMENT.
He does write these lines “Then the prostitutes started claiming them to be his wife”
But there is no line to suggest that he accepts it or there was any prior reason for the prostitutes to make that claim.
IN FACT I AM YET TO DECIPHER WHY HE SANDWICHED THIS ARABIAN PARODY WITH THE MAIN NARRATIVE.
The importance of the book is the LITERARY FORM.
This is not a straight forward narrative like Devdas or Romeo Juliet THIS IS MODERN LITERATURE , so he has turned everything upside down , a bit like Tarantino’s PULP FICTION. The sweep of language is breathtaking , but content wise is average

Team Anna suggests panel to seek people’s views in law framing

http://www.expressindia.com/latest-news/Team-Anna-suggests-panel-to-seek-peoples-views-in-law-framing/904308/

Excerpt

Arguing for amendment to the Constitution to ensure people’s participation in law making, Team Anna today suggested setting up of a ‘Referendum Commission’ on the lines of Election Commission to seek common man’s views in framing legislation.

Team Anna member Prashant Bhushan said here that available technology and internet can be used for referendum.

He said for laws related to a particular state, voting through internet kiosks can be held after biometric identification of a voter.

——————–

1) Referendum amongst 70 crores of voters?

2) They think law making is a joke (they never seem to learn). Are all the 70 crore people literate enough to understand the finer nuances and the consequences of the law to be enacted?

Who explains these to the voters or will be they given the full draft of the bill and given the onerous responsibility of deciding whether the law(s) should be enacted or not?

3) If there are say 30 to 40 bills to be enacted over a period of 5 years, will there be that many referendums? Has he cared to worry about the costs and effort involved?

The whole thing flies in the face of parliamentary democracy. Are they showing contempt for the same, as they did during the “I am Anna’ Movement’?

First a monster Lokpal and now another unworkable entity – Referendum Commission. Amazing. Whatever will they think of next? Do away with the parliament and the Government?

~~~~ SONG OF THE DAY…. VANDE MATRAM… AR REHMAN VERSION~~~
—————————————————————————————————————————-

The last song I posted was of Congressis singing LeT ko salaam, Afzal Guru ko salaam.

My song for today, is AR rehman’s Vande matram. Let us all sing it on republic day. And if Engrich and his live in partner sing it too… it would be a real victory for our secular values.

Yahan vahan saara jahan dekh liya
Ab tak bhi tere jaisa koi nahin

Main assi nahin, sau din duniya ghooma hai
Naahi kaahe tere jaisa koi nahin

Main gaya jahan bhi, bas teri yaad thi
Jo mere saath thi mujhko tadpaati rulaati
Sab se pyaari teri soorat
Pyaar hai bas tera, pyaar hi

Maa tujhe salaam, maa tujhe salaam
Amma tujhe salaam
Vande maataram, vande maataram
Vande maataram, vande maataram
Vande maataram, vande maataram

Janam janam tera hoon deewana main
Jhoomoon naachoon gaaoon tere pyaar ka taraana
Main jeena nahin soch nahin duniya ki daulat nahin
Bas lootunga tere pyaar ka khazaana

Ek nazar jab teri hoti hai pyaar ki
Duniya tab to meri chamke damke maheke re
Tera chehra sooraj jaisa chaand si thand hai pyaar mein
Vande maataram, vande maataram
Vande maataram, vande maataram
Vande maataram, vande maataram

Tere paas hi main aa raha hoon
Apni baahein khol de
Zor se mujhko gale laga le
Mujhko phir voh pyaar de
Tu hi zindagi hai, tu hi meri mohabbat hai
Tere hi pairon mein jannat hai

Tu hi dil, tu jaan, amma
Maa tujhe salaam, maa tujhe salaam
Amma tujhe salaam, maa tujhe salaam
Vande maataram, vande maataram
Vande maataram, vande maataram
Vande maataram, vande maataram
Vande maataram, vande maataram

Manohar,

“The Jan Lokpal bill was only a weapon and the whole movement was political from the start …”

Not true. The movement did require political support as it grew – after all they were asking for a strong and independent ombudsman – and it had to be approved by the parliament represented by various political parties. Those who agreed in principle with the proposals came out in its support and the ones who had the most to hide/fear were obviously against it and started maligning the movement.

Remember your fav. line? Was it something like “shooting the messenger”?

It is 11 pm, Yorkshire is cold but Dr Mishra is warm, the effect of mahua.

And the effect of listening to Vande mataram- Lata at her best. Dr Mishra is unabashedly Indian. Today he embraces a single sentence uttered by engerich- ramavtar “engerich says he left India but India never left him ”

so while Dr mishra disagees with 99% of what engerich says, he agrees 100% with this one. It is not the mahua speaking, it is my heart- yes, India never leaves me. Even when I scuba dive 100 feet down under, it remains with me.

Sri Aurobindo GhoseI show gratitude to thee, Mother,

cool with the winds of the south,

Her nights rejoicing in the glory of the moonlight,

Though you said it in jest, it actually is a terrific management case study. I will not be surprised if it finds its way into top management school.”

Now I suggest you join this congressi troll and write the book jointly.

You are sure to win the Cooker’s prize.

‘Third Jihad’: Muslims demand NY police chief’s head

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/Third-Jihad-Muslims-demand-NY-police-chiefs-head/articleshow/11652399.cms

New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly is under fire from civil rights group, who are demanding his resignation over his appearance in an inflammatory anti-Muslim film shown to his department’s officers during training.

The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) said Kelly and Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne should immediately resign from their positions for taking part in the production of the ‘Third Jihad’, “a blatantly bigoted and hate-filled film vilifying the American-Muslim community”.

Anyone seen the film?

A lot of people support the Congress becasue the suffer from the domestic servant mentality of serving a family….

The COngress is the party which propped up Bhindranwale and begged at the door of the Shahi Imam to issue a fatwa to support it. Today it wooes votes by saying Osamaji, reservation along religious lines and saluting LeT and fudging terroirsm in 26/11.

It is doing exactly what the father of the dunce did 25 years back by denying Muslim women the right of equality.

Sadly many of the star eyed Congressis on this blog just say “so what?”

in contrast, BJP has promised scarpping religious reservations and model high quality schools in each district. This is something we all have been demanding. Education for all, without prejudice.

Let us kcik this evil dynastic Congress in the bum.

Prahlad ji I give you the honour fo delivering the first kick… !!

Enjoy yourself … we are a democracy, the time of serving a family as doemstic servants has gone !!

This is interview of Mr.Maino father of Sonia Gandhi. It is a must read. See how father of so-called liberal is proud fascist and admirer of Mussolini. I’d like Congressi-Jihadis to read the true background of their leader. This link is from pro-congress publication called OUTLOOK.

“Maino declared his unwavering loyalty to Mussolini and Italy’s ‘admirable’ fascist past. The words streamed forth. The current Italian government was composed of a bunch of traitors who had betrayed Mussolini and the Fatherland. All the modern Italian political parties were hopeless, except the neo-fascist front. ”

http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?205112

SPOTLIGHT
Meeting Mr Maino
“After Sonia’s marriage, everyone thinks we have got rich. But the marriage has been an expensive thing for us.”

THE sparkling white colonnades of 10, Janpath are a long way in distance, time and the trappings of power from 14, Via Bellini, a nondescript house in a slushy lane of Orbassano, a grey industrial town on the outskirts of Turin, the city which exports Fiat cars and machines. That house was proudly built by the rough-hewn hands of Stefano Maino, a building worker who after years of effort had established a small construction business by the 1960s.

He took special pride in his work-worn hands and in the dignity of labour which had motivated him to build a bungalow for his wife and three daughters, Sonia, Nadia and Anoushka. He waved those hands before me some 20 years ago in Orbassano to illustrate that he was a self-made man who had created all that he owned with his own labour. He wished to disprove the allegations made even then that the Maino family had grown rich due to its Gandhi connection.

At that time, in the autumn of 1977, shortly after the Emergency, Maino was not too happy about his daughter Sonia’s Indian connections. He resignedly noted: “After Sonia’s marriage everyone thinks we have got rich and made free trips to India. But we have paid for everything ourselves. Sonia’s marriage has been an expensive thing for us.” He also mentioned that Sonia, her husband and children and their ayah, too, used to descend on Orbassano during the summer holidays, causing considerable expense. On the other hand, he claimed he had helped India’s foreign exchange position by encouraging several of his friends to visit India as tourists.

Maino had absolute faith in the integrity of his son-in-law Rajiv. He was confident “that Rajiv has no connections in the Boeing or any other deal. Rajiv is not in the least interested in such matters”. As for the corruption charges then being made against Sanjay Gandhi, “he is just a boy and businessmen and politicians may have used him…. Sanjay is a young politician and not very experienced. That is why he has not been successful.”

Indira Gandhi’s arrest in 1977 on the orders of the then home minister, Charan Singh, had worried Maino, but not much. He was mainly worried about the future of his grandchildren, Priyanka and Rahul. He glanced at the silver-framed portrait of Indira Gandhi with Priyanka and Rahul and declared: “Mrs Gandhi is the only person in India who can do good things for India.”

Apart from the portrait, the other prominent feature of the dimly-lit front room of Maino’s house was the collection of leather-bound speeches and writings of Benito Mussolini. I looked pointedly at them. Without batting an eyelid, Maino declared his unwavering loyalty to Mussolini and Italy’s ‘admirable’ fascist past. The words streamed forth. The current Italian government was composed of a bunch of traitors who had betrayed Mussolini and the Fatherland. All the modern Italian political parties were hopeless, except the neo-fascist front. What Italians needed was compulsory sterilisation. Indira Gandhi smiled benignly out of the silver-frame. Nadia, Sonia’s petite and pretty younger sister, sitting beside her father, looked decidedly embarrassed.

That did not stop Stefano Maino’s frank and forthright expression of his views on life and politics. After all, he had proudly fought against the Russian Reds alongside Hitler’s Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front in World War II. The bold and direct manner of the soldier remained with him. I felt a tinge of sadness when this blunt and straightforward man died a few years ago. Perhaps, he is up there somewhere, directing his daughter to shed her self-imposed solitude and sophistry, and to launch a bold electoral blitzkrieg on the Indian people.

[Reply]

It is quite funny looking at argument of PrahaladK and co. defending Sonia’s fascist past and current fascist tendencies.

A random photo of Anna with RSS guys makes him RSS wallah whereas Sonia’s established fascist past and current fascist links mean nothing to Congressi-Jihadi combine.

This PrahaladK seems to be working from Digvijay’s office. Truly a Congressi…talking with forked tongue.

[Reply]

Now we know why Sonia did not take up Indian citizenship for 16 years. Why is she a still very committed catholic?

This is because she is fascist and considers Indians to be inferior race and nation.

Dear Rajeev,

It is sometimes alleged that Sonia Gandhi marrying Rajeev Gandhi is a conspiracy of Church to convert India to Christianity. It is alleged that Sonia is a Fascist as her father was associated with Mussolini army.

In my opinion, both above allegation are not true.

First on first allegation. These Grand Conspiracy theories only reside in some very weak minds, like our Engrich’s .No one is so strong to conceptualize such Conspiracies and put them actually to work.World and momentum of society is much stronger than any such Conspirator.

On second allegation, the interview details of Sonia’s father do not point to that. He seems to be a hard working person who has in past worked for Mussolini army. Those were times in Italy when every young man was getting swayed by the general atmosphere.He still remembering with pride his army days and Mussolini does not seem to be from any Fascist thinking, It seems to be pure nostalgia.( I am only referring to text that you have posted. I have no other knowledge on this matter). Further, if Sonia had Fascist thinking, she would not have married Rajiv ( from a backward country in Fascist opinion ).

Reason for a very ordinary person having such hold on this country that she has Selected and Appointed PM , President and many other govt. functionaries who are totally indebted to her, lies in VERY LOW CHARACTER OF WE INDIANS . I do not blame Sonia for that. Anyone else in her position would have done something similar or even worse.Did not Lallu win in three consecutive state elections with such pathetic work.. Is’nt govt in Maharashtra winning back to back when it provides such an inefficient governance.

It is this Character that we have to Re-Build.We have to analyze truthfully where we are and where we have to go. Understand who we are, what we have been and what we can be.However, I am optimist. Things have started improving.Critical mass of right people with right thinking and action is building up. It is happening slowly, wish it can happen faster.

Guy’s USA is bouncing back to 2.8 % growth. UK is going into recession and EU keeps digging holes under its heels. I mean EURO cannot survive in its present state , it is not rocket science. I mean whoever thought of it , was not an ANGLOSAXON , thus bereft of commonsense. I mean it is like MERCEDES BENZ franchising its trade mark , yet has no control on its use , like say a banyan sod with the name mercedes benz or a talcum powder, what chance is there for the mercedes benz name to shine .
Same here NO CONTROL ON OTHER CENTRAL BANKS , or countries , they can borrow like hell , default , and then you expect EURO to hold , or rest of europe to bail out . Also if you build a team with players from 1st division , 2nd division 3rd division 4th division ALL LUMPED TOGETHER this is what you get. ALSO IT WAS A POLITICAL PROJECT , then LAWS OF ECONOMICS FOLLOWS LAWS OF ECONOMICS NOT POLITICAL IMPERATIVES.

also read today in THE TIMES , USA IS GOING TO BE SELF SUFFICIENT IN OIL AND GAS BY 2030.
Apparently OIL SANDS from canada and SHALE GAS , and NEW FINDS IN NORTH DAKOTA has fushed down gas prices from 5 dollar to 2.5 dollar /cuft.
APPARENTLY USA WILL BE SOON EXPORTING GAS TO INDIA.
This will have serious geo political consequence , China will step in the middle east andWILL MOLLYCODDLE REPRESSIVE REGIMES , but will be careful not to tread on israel’s feet.Russia will also loose leverage to some extent as dependency lessens

Bankim Chatterjee was a GENIUS. It is for these people INDIA IS WHAT IT IS. He was fiercely patriotic ALBEIT HINDU PATRIOT. Though he dressed like a persian .
There is no denying he held Muslim rule responsible for all of india’s ills. This may be because having came in contact with European civilization , he realised howregressive and backward ISLAMIC/ MUGHAL rule was . THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE UNIVERSITY BUILT. Jehangir apparently never seen sea. No wonder India did not have a naval force , the consequence was free ride by the europeans , landing here threr and every where they liked.

@Mahesh, Thanks for providing the link in earlier blog about the HDL gene apoprotein in Italian people near swiss border.
Some facts just released yesterday. UK has seen 50% drop in mortality from heart disease , and even important 33% REDUCTION IN INCIDENCE OF HEART ATTACK. This is due to cholesterol check
now available as cheap as pregnancy test kit.
Also blood pressure can be self monitored , digital instruments costing 10 pounds in Walmart UK(Asda). Also choleseterol lowering drugs galore, nd very good BP lowering drugs.AND SEVERE TAX AND HEALTH WARNING AGAINST SMOKING
Also ANGIOPLASTY , that is stretching the artery with a catheter with a baloon at the end , had made the bottom fall off of Bypass surgery. Very few bypass surgery is done in Uk , I know cardiac surgery trainees with deep anxiety , whether they will have job at the end of their training, because the demand has collapsed.
Apparently cholesterol is only 25% of the story. The latest theory to make rounds is ,
that it may be a kind of inflammation , this has turned all previous theory on its head. Though it is not conclusively proven

Gentlemen who found the findings of the Survey conducted by Sahara very disturbing , may find the India Today- ORG Poll even more distressing . Details on the India Today website but some highlights are quoted here for ready reference.

• The Congress has imploded. If a general election were to be held now, Congress would get around 110 seats, its lowest ever tally; in mid-2009 it got 206 seats.
• The NDA has nudged ahead. The BJP has improved its tally from 116 seats in the 2009 general election to around 140 seats now.
• Non-UPA and non-NDA parties are the real gainers of Congress decline. This is the first time since 1996 that neither of the two leading alliances, UPA and NDA, will be anywhere close to the majority mark of 272 in the Lok Sabha.
• Rahul Gandhi is the clear choice for leadership of the Congress. Narendra Modi is the public’s preference for the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate. Modi beats Rahul by a 7 per cent margin in a face-off for the next prime minister.
• Those who think Anna Hazare is politically dead will find themselves badly wounded. In a straight contest from any constituency with Rahul, Hazare would win by a landslide.
• Those who believe corruption is no longer an issue will fare worse. The PM’s image has suffered because he is perceived as doing nothing.
• The two top rated chief ministers, Narendra Modi and Nitish Kumar, who lead the competition by some margin, are from the NDA

The Zamorins, rulers of Malabar, had a navy. Interestingly, it was led by a Muslim “admiral”, Kunhali Marakkar — Kunhali Marakkar led several naval blockades against the Portugese before they took over Malabar in 1550s.

Kunhali means “little” Ali.

There are a few naval training centres in his memory, INS Kunhali Marakkar centre in Colaba being one. India also issued commemorative stamps in his honour.

COWS and TEMPLES

Both Dr Mishra and Gopi, have inserted the word “only” which I had not used. They then interpreted my comment on the BJP manifesto as an anti-India sentiment. Having done that it was a small step then to launch a mindless tirade against me.

Once again neither of them commented on the BJP manifesto and instead made me the subject of their comments. A popular trick here, straight from the RSS manual.

Inspired by Vinay and encouraged by Gopi (perhaps mistakenly) I no longer retaliate.

Please comment on the BJP manifesto and not me.

This manifesto seems to be the result of Focus Group Testing, which told BJP that they lost the last election in rural areas. How does one infuse this “lesson learnt” and the core Hinduatav ideology? Propose yet more of Cows & Temples.

This is a comment on the BJP and not India.

Dr Mishra’s and Gopi’s BLIND devotion for the BJP is obvious even to Stevie Wonder.

One fine winter afternoon of I think— 1989 … we kids were at the cycle stand of the colony. One chowkidar from the house of this powerful guy who is heaven now (!) got a a bundle of inflatable full size nude dolls….

And then tried filling them one by one with air…

Apparently the powerful person who lost his presidentship by a whisker, had managed to puncture the dolls while sleeping with them… (guess why!)

RajaRaja Chola had a full blown blue ocean naval force. He solicited the assistance of Chinese and Arabs in building ships. The navy was used to ensure trade with China, SoutheastAasia free of pirates; also to take over/influencer countries like Cambodia (Khaboj) Sri Vijaya (Indonesia).

His naval organization parallels the current navy structure like Commodore, Captain, Admiral etc with Tamil titles such as Jaladhipati.

The commitment to navy and to seaward expansion was reduced when Cholas had to focus on Hoysalas and Chalukyas from the west of them from the present day Karnataka region.

Dear Friends,

This HT Blog has somehow attracted very Intelligent,Knowledgeable and Articulate people. One way of utilising this Blog space is to make it a great FRIENDSHIP blog- where everyone seems to be in agreement with everyone else-nice homilies are exchanged , OR we can make it a high decibel fish market where everyone is shouting down everyone else , OR we can make it a Great Discussion Forum where things are being discussed threadbare, no one gets easily offended, but replies in appropriate and logical way, There is less of abuses ( Eliminating them completely may not be possible and natural), but more of conversing on the topic.

My choice is for the last option. Discussions are great fun , but people like Mohan can bring additional smiles by cracking jokes in between , but never loosing thread of Discussion.

Do I have support on this from my friends.

It aims at creating 20 lakh new jobs for the youth of UP in the next five years and start a major programme for skill development by setting up 1000 centres to train 20 lakh youth every year besides a UP skills and employment mission for the purpose. “The Congress-led UPA government has already approved 4.5 per cent reservation for the socially and economically backwards Muslims under the OBC category across the country in central government jobs, PSUs and educational institutions and we will ensure its full and timely implementation,” it said.

Aaloke,
I like your non-stop preacher mode. You did not read outlook article properly. Mr.Maino was not only nostalgic of his fascist path but also very proud of it.

As far as Vatican-Sonia theory is concerned, It is all BS..The conversions are on going process with or without Sonia.

I was only pointing to the fact that Sonia has fascist past and still maintains link with her father who is proud of fascist past. Sonia’s attitude towards constitutional authorities President, VP, PM, Lok Sabha Speaker (all of them sonia loyalist) clearly indicate her fascist mindset. She has not faced a single interview where she is grilled bu top journos is another pointer to her fascist tendencies. The way she used her pooches Sibal, Chidu and Diggi to silence Ramdev and Anna is too well known.

No offence, I’d appreciate if you present you opinion and not give verdict. It is just a friendly advise.

Your reference to the “civilizational genius” – inspiring from it, energizing from it, growing from it etc makes sense at this stage of our unfolding.

However, your reference to “physical, spiritual, philosophical” damage done to India is one-sided. Obviously we are taken advantage of by people who are significantly “better/stronger” than us in certain dimensions. That is the law of nature; no meaning in blaming.

China, among the old civilizations, is the only one for whom “never again” is a foundational theme. Jews, among all people, are the only ones who are driven by the theme of “never again”.

Who in Congress here will openly declare “never again”?

You mentioned about Indian people and how they contribute to the permanent backwardness. I agree 100%.

In this regard, let me state a line from an article an eminent (Christian) historian recently wrote in a Malayalam publication.. “How many Indian mothers name their children Dharamaputra or a derivative of that name; all want to name their children Arjuna”. While that is an oversimplification; we have to walk the walk and talk the talk — Dharma does not exist in a vacuum in itself
