Introspection time for MPs

“” the need for a strong, accountable and credible parliamentary system is greater than ever before.”

Mr. Sharma agrees that our supreme members of our supreme parliament are
not strong, not accountable and not credible.
Mr. Sharma, Thanks very much for confirming what most of the bloggers were
saying here .

The institution is alright; it is the “instituents’ who is not alright.

The widespread belief, as well as reality to a great extent is that scoundrels get elected to enrich themselves..

So, put some minimum qualifications other than being a citizen – that one should not be involved in any current legal issues, one should not have been convicted..

As per the original scheme envisaged in the constitution, every five years a new Lokasabha would be constituted. In that sense 2012 would have had an election for a new house.

We should therefore celebrate shashtyabdi-poorthi of our parliament by going in for an Autumn election. All new MPs should undergo 3 months’ intensive coaching courses in UK and US.

I can guarantee that the money would be well spent.

Sharma uncle

Very good article. I think Parliament system is best for us. Sometimes we get bad MP also. Many MP from Jammu and Kashmir take rishwat from terrorist snd also from police. I think we shoud make sure no Pakistani ISI people give rishwat to MP in Kashmir. However rishwat is of nakli note. I dont want to take name. but one or two famous politician was caught with ISI mark currency.

Mr Sharma writes .

Can some basics be sorted out to reduce hostility, restore sanity …..?

—————————————————————————————

What are the basic issues?

Congress and allies think BJP & Co is “Communal”.

BJP & Co thinks Congress & Co to be “Corrupt”.

In short, it’s Communal vs Corrupt.

Then how do we sort out this issue? Do we re-define the terms “Communal” and “Corrupt” ? Do we tone down the the definitions ?

Another shoot and scoot post (when I went through comments in Vinod Sharma’s earlier post).
—

What Gopi said about Marxists in Bengal reminded me of what Rajeev used to say many times. (Why communists become apologists for Islamists). Once I was reading an article in TOI about what Osama wanted for his children (get good education and settle peacefully in west). I came across this reply, which I stored.

“…I am reminded of the communist leaders in Kerala who send their children to the west for education and employment but curse the western capitalism in their home state. Lead strikes and bandhs to destroy the lives of the others in the state. Deny religious freedom to the cadres but allow their own families to practice religion to the fullest. I think Islam and Communism are co- borns. There are many more similarities between the two cults..”.

Manohar brought up an incident where some Hindu miscreants tried to cause riot. Allegation straight away went to RSS, when these people had absolutely no connection with the organisation. Another time he brought up a similar topic (where the people involved were supposed to be ex-RSS). Went into the article. It said, they got out of the organisation as they felt it was not extremist enough for their views. But RSS was in the top heading. To me the attraction of the RSS lies in its openness, informality. (Held in open places, anyone can just go. If you don’t feel like, don’t go. No need to give any explanation for the absence). But people have the problem, it does not have a register. (May be it has at the top levels, but not at the street branches). It is not a school. Why should it hold one?

I would not like to discuss about RSS anymore. I am not an apologist for any organisation just because I was related to it in the past. Sticking to any ideology is a constraint for a free mind. But I am sure of one thing. One cannot weaken any organisation just by accusations. If RSS were to get weakened by outside forces, it would have fallen long ago. But internal damage is a different thing. That is what I sense is happening now. The youngster who would be joining (if any) has no inspiration to look up to. In my opinion, this internal rot (though invisible) will eventually cause the downfall of RSS.

Rajeev and Shenoy once asked me, I cannot change mindset of people like Ravi or Manohar. Then why do I engage myself with them? Simple, I like it. So. (In this blog space, there is no pressure on anyone to engage with anybody). I have stated earlier; I have no intention or illusion of changing anyone’s mindset including Ram Avatar. Our convictions have been built for decades and they can’t be changed by some posts. One’s strong convictions can look as a prejudice to another mind. I have strong opinions about today’s Gandhi family. Someone can have their reservation about RSS. Ram Autar has a strong words about Zionism (though I have not understood who Zionists are. Sometimes he says, “Brahmins are also victims of Brahminism. Jews are also victims…”. If everyone are victims, then who is the exploiter?). To me, charm comes only when you speak to a person with opposite views. I hardly interact with Ashish or Gopi (unless I have a differing opinion). What is there apart from clap for each other? Applause.., standing ovation … what next?

@Shoeb, Shenoy,

Jaffer Sheriff – Call him corrupt. More than agree. Call him pseudo secular. Fine with me. (For me, ‘typical congressi” is sufficient). But calling him communal causing riots? I will ask you to substantiate it. A senior person need not be picked up for the community he belongs to.

[Reply]

How many examples of Congress brand of secularism do you need?
a) ally of Muslim league
b) weeping over terrorists deaths of Batla
c) saying Muslims have first right to the resources of the country
d) loosing night’s sleep over the arrest of a Muslim doctor in Australia
d) offering reservation on the basis of religion

Before you blame the RSS for aspiring for a Hindu Rashtra, look at the kind of secularism that is being practiced.

Mohan and Ishwar

Mohan, in the previous blog, you were wondering as to why I did not launch the next episode of the longest running political soap – M M R R. Three reasons – 1) fatigue 2) someone else would (Ishwar did) 3) Modi’s growing irrelevance as far as I am concerned.

Having said – just two points regarding the reports of the SIT and the Amicus Curiae, which have been made public. The SIT report runs into 22000 pages,including supporting documents and that will take time for even a single reading.

1) The trial will go on for a long time, with both sides fighting it out first in the lower court, then the High Court and finally the Supreme Court. Given how slowly our courts work, this process will take years and years to complete. Till then no legal clean chit or otherwise from the courts for Modi and that is not a good news for him.

2) Other than the legal battles, Modi has to fight the political battles and his opponents are not going to allow him any joy rides. Even if he is legally cleared, it is no guarantee that the opponents are going to reduce their fire power. You may say it is unjust (notice how Nirmala Seetharaman keeps losing her cool on TV discussions), but you will be told that everything is fair in love and war and there is war going out there.

His ‘troubles’ are far from being over.

Manohar;
Still that Hindu Rashtra dilemma is haunting us. You directed me to few obscure sites, I will go there eventually, but really speaking, I wanted to have your input here. What is the gist of those sites? Who is conveying that message? How authoritative that source is? Can it be verified? How old that statement is? How many people are following that? Before one forms a firm opinion, please let us discuss this.

‘India becoming prone to intolerance of freedom’

http://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/Americas/India-becoming-prone-to-intolerance-of-freedom/Article1-852021.aspx

India-born controversial author Salman Rushdie has turned his ire against his home country, saying that creative works of artists are increasingly being assaulted by religious groups. India has become “very prone” to the idea that “you should not rock the boat,” he said, in an expression of concern over what he called the growing intolerance to freedom of expression in the country.

India’s god laws fail the test of reason
Praveen Swami

http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/lead/article3391109.ece?homepage=true

Early in March, little drops of water began to drip from the feet of the statue of Jesus nailed to the cross on the church of Our Lady of Velankanni, down on to Mumbai’s unlovely Irla Road. Hundreds began to flock to the church to collect the holy water in little plastic bottles, hoping the tears of the son of god would sanctify their homes and heal their beloved.

Sanal Edamaruku, the eminent rationalist thinker, arrived at the church a fortnight after the miracle began drawing crowds. It took him less than half an hour to discover the source of the divine tears: a filthy puddle formed by a blocked drain, from where water was being pushed up through a phenomenon all high-school physics students are familiar with, called capillary action.

For his discovery, Mr. Edamaruku now faces the prospect of three years in prison — and the absolute certainty that he will spend several more years hopping between lawyers’ offices and courtrooms. In the wake of Mr. Edamaruku’s miracle-busting Mumbai visit, three police stations in the capital received complaints against him for inciting religious hatred. First information reports were filed, and investigations initiated with exemplary — if unusual — alacrity.

That reminds me of 1995 nautanki of Ganesha idols drinking milk.

Aug 21, 2006
NEW DELHI: In a re-run of the September 1995 frenzy when Ganesha idols were said to be drinking milk offered to them, devotees reportedly thronged temples on Sunday night, making similar claims. This time, however, all idols were reported to be drinking milk.

This followed some reports received from other parts of the country, particularly UP, earlier in the day. Shiv Mandir in Uttam Nagar and Shri Ram temple on Aruna Asaf Ali Marg in New Delhi witnessed a heavy rush.

Well, India has come a long way in 60 years. Several things to boast of, more things to take care of.

A committed, purpose driven parliament is needed to solve the immense problems that still remain with us – poverty, urban-rural and other divides, sanitation and health, efficient government, unaccountable bureaucrats, infrastructure, inability to prevent Islamic terrorism from outside etc etc.

This would have been a good time to get US on India’s side and get into a crash program to solve some of these . US needs business, India has money to spend. But India’s constant internal dilly dallying – who is in control, is Sonia in line, has Rahul been consulted — the total lack of vision and bold programs – is not leading Indians anywhere; with all these problems left for the individual to solve.

In Lok Sabha, a congress MP, during his speech, told a story…..

“There was a father who gave 100 rupees each to his 3 sons and asked them to buy things and fill up a room completely.

First son bought hay for Rs. 100 but couldn’t fill the room entirely.

Second son bought cotton for Rs. 100 but couldn’t fill the room entirely.

Third son bought a candle for Rs. 1 and lit it up and the room was filled with light completely.”

The MP added

“Our Prime Minister is like the third son. Since the day he has taken charge of his office, our country is filled with the bright light of prosperity”

A voice from the backbench asked:

“Woh sab toh theek hai…but where is the remaining Rs. 99?”

Strange world of the Congress and the BJP

The Raje red flag

http://www.indianexpress.com/news/the-raje-red-flag/946719/0

The regional leader, who may have proved himself or herself at the hustings, is kept in a state of permanent insecurity vis-a-vis competing leaders and rival factions. The central leadership blinks at the jostling at state level, occasionally stokes it and does nothing to douse the fires until they threaten to consume the party’s prospects in the next polls. This is the story so far and it reads like a typical Congress tale from the states. But it isn’t. It is, in fact, a rough description of the now-receding drama in the Rajasthan BJP, where Vasundhara Raje, the BJP’s most visible leader in that state, who commands the loyalty of the majority of its legislators, had threatened to resign — again. The events that snowballed after Raje objected to the proposed Lok Jagran Yatra by senior RSS-BJP leader Gulab Chand Kataria, had climaxed in a manner that recalled a similar moment after the BJP’s defeats in the assembly and Lok Sabha polls in 2009.

Drought-hit Maharashtra villages losing patience

http://www.thehindu.com/news/states/article3394923.ece?homepage=true

Excerpts

Malabai Solankar has been waiting since six a.m. on Saturday to collect fodder at a makeshift depot in Sordi village in Sangli’s Jath taluka. Now well past noon, she is struggling to not to lose her patience, as are others gathered there. Located on the Maharashtra border, Sordi is part of 41 villages that have been threatening to push for merger with neighbouring Karnataka if the Maharashtra government fails to provide relief in view of the current drought.

In the last one month, politicians have paid them visits and promised relief from the government but nothing has transpired.

————-

Asked if she would support the Gram Panchayat’s move to be a part of Karnataka, she says: “What else can we do? We are tired of the government. Assurances don’t mean anything unless there is concrete follow-up action.” Pomegranate farmer Pandurang Kale echoes her sentiment, saying: “The Ministers have turned our villages into drought-tourism spots. They come and see and tell us they will come back. We haven’t even been getting water tankers on time. They promise to send the tankers every day, but we only get water once in three days.”

Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar and Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan had also visited the region in the last month. Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi visited the neighbouring district of Satara.

“The Ministers come and then blame each other. We would have benefited more if the money spent on their trips was utilised for providing water,” Prakash Sopale says. “I spent Rs. 20,000 on digging a well, but even at 1,000 feet we didn’t get any water. Even my pomegranate fields have gone dry. I cannot spend any more on keeping them alive.”

” But there’s no easy way of reigning in Capital— calling the shots from outside— without the instrumentality of a robust Parliament.”
I could not agree more with Vinod Sharma. Not just a robust Parliament but also a truly independent Judiciary , and strong Regulators. But would it be possible to reverse the trend … when money power has already overtaken most of our lives. To my mind the recent initiatives to create a large-scale mass awareness and a resistance to efforts by Capital to “buy -out” has come from non- political leaders like Anna Hazare / Baba Ramdev/ Sr Sri Ravishankar . who inspite of their shortcomings still enjoy considerable credibilty with ordinary people . Atleast they have succeeded in bringing these issues centre-stage. The established political class cannot be expected to do much about it as they are too deeply invoved in it as they have been its beneficiaries. So far we have not seen any sincere effort by the Parliament to start the process of Reform and cleansing .

How cheap and petty can Sonia Gandhi get?

Not just coincidence

In the Congress, No 10 is short form for 10 Janpath, residence of Sonia Gandhi, while No 7 stands for 7 Race Course Road, home of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Nominations to the Rajya Sabha in the special category are made either by No 10 or No 7 and only a few candidates bear the 10+7 stamp. RS members like H K Dua and Ashok Ganguly were No 7 appointees. But the three new appointments this year—Sachin Tendulkar, Rekha and Anu Aga—all bear the unmistakable stamp of No 10. There has been much conjecture at Rekha’s nomination since the actress is not known to have any special social or political interests. The surmise is that Rekha was selected from a long list of eminent film personalities to embarrass Jaya Bachchan, an elected SP MP, as Rekha’s name has been linked with Jaya’s husband Amitabh Bachchan in the past. Allotting Rekha a seat immediately behind Jaya was clearly more than just a coincidence. On Jaya’s request, the seats have since been changed.

Stunning cache of British-era Calcutta scenes found

http://www.thehindu.com/arts/history-and-culture/article3398157.ece?homepage=true

A cache of 178 photo-negatives discovered in a shoebox at the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland (RCAHMS) in Edinburgh, Scotland, have revealed spectacular vignettes of Kolkata’s colonial past. Some of them reflect the high point of the British Raj.

The photographs show, among other scenes, buildings near Lal Dighi (Dalhousie Square, as it was once known) lit up to commemorate the 1912 visit of King George V and Queen Mary to Calcutta; ships anchored near the Chandpal Ghat with a sea of pilgrims bathing in the Hoogly; a religious festival on the Maidan; a street scene, probably during a “betting” game.

BJP MLA booked for inciting communal violence

The Uttarakhand police on Monday booked BJP MLA Rajkumar Thukral for fanning communal violence in Udham Singh Nagar on October 2 last year, in which four people were killed and 35 others, including 12 policemen, wounded. In the riots that followed, several shops were set ablaze and curfew was imposed for more than a week.

Retail chains: Shape up or ship out

http://www.financialexpress.com/news/retail-chains-shape-up-or-ship-out/947091/0

“In a business where the other players were among the biggest Indian business houses — the Tatas, Goenkas, Piramals, Rahejas — we were seen as a small-time Marwari bania company trying to reinvent the wheel,” wrote Pantaloon Retail India (PRIL) founder and chairman Kishore Biyani in his book It Happened in India, published in 2007.

He continued: “Unlike our competitors, we neither had financial muscle nor business experience, or any legacy to boast of. We took large risks, made a number of mistakes, faltered on the way and learned things while doing it.” The same year, debt started piling up for PRIL, India’s retail pioneer, and shrinking cash flows added to Biyani’s woes.

—————

A pile of debt and unsold goods stared at PRIL, while a R12,000-crore turnover failed to generate enough cash for Biyani to service the loans that he availed to grow. He took risks to scale up his business and tried multiple retail formats (Pantaloons, Big Bazaar, Central, HomeTown, Brand Factory, eZone) even as signs of a slowdown were setting in.

“Biyani pre-empted competition and that did him in,” says an industry observer.

Pathakji,

you said, “Go to any police station and try file an FIR where the reader is against you. Here we talking about the top most state machinery against them.”

But, if a lady suddenly remembers, after a lapse of four years, that her husband was killed by the top-most man of the state, and tries to file an FIR, will the police simply allow her to amend her earlier FIR?

Then the lady goes to the sessions court, then to high court, then the supreme court.

But, nobody listens to her. The SC asks the SIT to “look into it”.

The lady and her instigators are euphoric, tell the whole world that the SIT is “A Daniel come to judgement” etc, etc.

But, after the SIT report, the same people and the same lady tell NDTV, CNN-IBN etc. that Raghavan is a Hindu fundamentalist, he is compromised and he is biased against the Muslims.

Ravi,

You can blame the RSS as much as you like, the facts are different and I would love to get the reaction of the ‘chaprasi’ of the Congress and the Jehadis on this:

This is how the Frontline (from the publishers of Hindu) detailed the event of October:

http://www.flonnet.com/fl2822/stories/20111104282204100.htm

The article/author which can’t be said to be partial to the RSS says:
1. The first provocation came on September 29 when miscreants allegedly packed beef and pages torn from the Quran in a bloodstained cloth and placed it outside a Shani temple in Bhadaipura mohalla. Members of the Muslim community, agitated over the desecration of the Quran, demanded action against the culprits, but the administration did not act. The alleged act of sacrilege was repeated in the same mohalla on the night of October 1. This time, pages from the religious book were wrapped in a sheet of paper along with pork and thrown outside the house of one Mustaq Ahmad.

2. The following morning, over 100 Muslims gathered at the town kotwali (police station) to demand action and resorted to stone throwing, in which some policemen and the Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Vir Singh Budhiyal, sustained injuries. The police chased the crowd away by resorting to a lathicharge. However, the Muslims regrouped, and this time a thousand people gathered outside the police station at Indira Chowk, stoned the police, damaged and burnt vehicles that were parked there and threatened to set the station on fire. At this stage, the police reportedly sought the help of the Hindu residents of the nearby Rampura mohalla and, thereafter, the two communities started clashing with each other. Soon the clashes spread to the entire city.

3. Mohit Chauhan, an educated youth working in a leading hotel in the town, said, “After all, the Muslims were the ones who started it all. Why did they throw stones at the police station? If they thought there would be no retaliation for their actions, then they have surely learnt a lesson now.”

3. Many of the alleged attackers are said to be close to BJP and Congress leaders. Eyewitnesses claim to have seen Hindus with Congress and BJP affiliations leading the mobs that set shops on fire.

“Amicus Curiae Raju Ramachandran says that Kasab should not be hanged, but must be awarded life imprisonment.

The senior advocate also said that Kasab was a misguided youth, who was brainwashed into committing a crime, which he did not realize was heinous. The response to the statements have not gone down well with most across the nation. Kasab has been in the ‘trend’ list of Twitter, the micro-blogging site, where netizens have spewed their fury.

This what the Hindustan Times website has reported today

” The Supreme Court-appointed special investigation team’s clean chit to Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi in the 2002 riots is based on its findings that the state took “all possible” measures to prevent the massacre that followed the Godhra train carnage. According to the SIT report, “… immediately after the Godhra incident, state machinery was put on high alert … and all possible precautionary measures were taken by the authorities.”

The report, posted on a website on Tuesday, a day after it was handed over to riot victim Zakia Jafri, rebuts allegations that government authorities were lax during the riots in which more than 1,200 people were killed.

Zakia’s husband, former Congress MP Ehsan Jafri, was among the 69 people killed by rioters at Gulberg Society in eastern Ahmedabad on March 1, 2002, two days after the Sabarmati Express was torched near Godhra, killing 59.

Quoting riots-era wireless messages and official letters, the SIT report says, “… it gives clear cut indication and mind of the state that the riots had to be controlled at any cost.”

The report adds, “…investigation has established that the state government was reasonably vigilant vis-à-vis the developments on the law and order front and immediately responded by bringing to the notice of all district officials.”

The SIT has dismissed (now suspended) IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt’s claim that he had attended a meeting, hours after the Godhra carnage, where Modi allegedly told top officials to let “Hindus vent their anger”.

According to the SIT, Bhatt was in touch with activist Teesta Setalvad (Zakia’s co-petitioner, who has posted the SIT report online) and others for drafting the affidavit he filed in the Supreme Court against Modi.

The report states certain “vested interests were trying to use the Supreme Court/SIT for settling their scores”.

Raju Ramachandran was “amicus curae” in this matter, in other words “a friend of the Court” . His task was to assist the Court in adjudicating on the matter. That does not mean that he supercedes the court or his opinon is binding on the Court. Is his opinion on a higher pedestal than the Order of the court ?

The problem is that those who wish to hound Narendra Modi will be satisfied only with a Court Order which is adverse to Modi.

Some of the teenagers had sex willingly, but others were raped by up to five men at a time.

The paedophiles who paid small sums of money for the frequently violent encounters were predominantly British Pakistanis.

Of the 11 defendants on trial at Liverpool Crown Court, 10 were Pakistani and the other an Afghan asylum seeker.

Rochdale grooming trial: Split views on race issue

The conviction of nine Asian men for grooming and abusing white girls has prompted strong, split opinions on whether race is an issue in such cases.

A Muslim community leader has said there is a “problem” of British Pakistani men thinking “white girls are worthless and can be abused”.

And the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) said it was “investigating why there may be a majority of Asians in these particular kinds of offence”.

But police said grooming was “not a racial issue” and MP Keith Vaz also said “no particular race or religion” tended to be involved.

‘No silence’

The comments followed the convictions of eight Pakistanis and one Afghan man of child sex offences in Rochdale, Greater Manchester.

The nine men convicted of being part of a child sexual exploitation ring faced charges related to five girls but police believed there may have been up to 47 victims.

There is no excuse for this kind of criminality, whoever is involved in it, but I don’t think it is a particular group of people”

Keith Vaz MP

Chairman, Commons Home Affairs Select Committee

Mohammed Shafiq, chief executive of The Ramadhan Foundation, said grooming was “a significant problem for the British Pakistani community”.

“There is an over-representation [of Asian men] amongst recent convictions in the crime of on-street grooming [and] there should be no silence in addressing the issue of race as this is central to the actions of these criminals,” he said.

“They think that white teenage girls are worthless and can be abused without a second thought; it is this sort of behaviour that is bringing shame on our community.”

‘Vulnerable young children’

He said community elders were “burying their heads” over the issue and police and local councils should not “be frightened” to address the problem, as there was “a strong lesson that you cannot ignore race or be over-sensitive”.

Mr Shafiq said Muslim leaders needed to “reject any attempt to silence the reaction from our community”.

And he said police would also need to “reflect on their failures” in this case.

Assistant Chief Constable Steve Heywood, of Greater Manchester Police, said the case was not about race, but “adults preying on vulnerable young children”.

“It just happens that in this particular area and time, the demographics were that these were Asian men,” he said.

“However, in large parts of the country we are seeing on-street grooming, child sexual exploitation happening in each of our towns and it isn’t about a race issue.”

‘All cultures and ethnicities’

Mr Vaz, chairman of the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee and Labour MP for Leicester East, said the root causes of the abuse of young girls needed to be addressed but that investigations must not focus on the ethnic origin, religion or geographical location of those involved.

“There is no excuse for this kind of criminality, whoever is involved in it but I don’t think it is a particular group of people, I don’t think it’s a particular race or religion,” he said.

“It’s totally wrong to say that it is, because you open up a Pandora’s box as far as race relations is concerned and I don’t think that’s necessarily what we want.”

A spokeswoman for the CEOP Centre said child sexual exploitation spanned “all cultures and ethnicities”.

However, she said recent cases did “highlight that Asian males have been involved in an organised manner in exploiting young women”.

“Some of these cases involved offenders from different backgrounds as well, although CEOP are investigating why there may be a majority of Asians in these particular kinds of offence.”

And she said CEOP thought it was “important that we do not focus solely on one ethnic minority in case the groomer is part of a multi-racial group”

This is a friendly post and so dont react adversly. I strongly advise you to turn back home and see the rot there.

You know all those talks of Modi and Modi and rape and rape get no result. Evoking those imaginery 5000 rapes is so boring. But closer home, see what fellow Paksitanis have done. Actual rape of innocents. paedophelia, sex slavery, spoiling the innocence of flowers.

” Kuch phool aise bhi hai jo jee na sake…

There is urgent need of throwing away texts and beleifs which may sanctify such rapes of innocent girls.

You should spend more time on those Pakistani web sites and explain to them the evils of rape. After all the pen is mightier than the penis.

“We also found that very often by labelling the crime as “street grooming” or other terms or focusing on offending from particular cultural or other socioeconomic backgrounds it merely provided further obstacles or distractions to bringing this crime out of the dark. Offenders do not come from any particular background and any child can be sexually exploited.

“Child sexual exploitation is child sex abuse – no matter who carries out the act, no matter what the background of the offender. The effects are devastating and abuse can continue into adulthood. We need to focus on that and break down the barriers that stop any child from coming forward. Agencies need the awareness be able to identify the signs of abuse and the services to build a supportive relationship with victims. Vulnerable victims may not present themselves as victims, may be fearful of investigations or the court process and we need to create an environment throughout the whole of the UK where this is no longer the case.

Mohan, this is particularly of interest to you about how Teesta Setalvad “carried on” her court battles and tried to get justice to the riot victims:

NGOs, Teesta spiced up Gujarat riot incidents: SIT
Dhananjay Mahapatra, TNN Apr 14, 2009, 12.13pm IST
============================================

NEW DELHI: The Special Investigation Team responsible for the arrests of those accused in Gujarat riots has severely censured NGOs and social activist Teesta Setalvad who campaigned for the riot victims.

In a significant development, the SIT led by former CBI director R K Raghavan told the Supreme Court on Monday that the celebrated rights activist cooked up macabre tales of wanton killings.

Many incidents of killings and violence were cooked up, false charges were levelled against then police chief P C Pandey and false witnesses were tutored to give evidence about imaginary incidents, the SIT said in a report submitted before a Bench comprising Justices Arijit Pasayat, P Sathasivam and Aftab Alam.

The SIT said it had been alleged in the Gulbarg Society case that Pandey, instead of taking measures to protect people facing the wrath of rioteers, was helping the mob. The truth was that he was helping with hospitalisation of riot victims and making arrangements for police bandobast, Gujarat counsel, senior advocate Mukul Rohtagi, said quoting from the SIT report.

Rohtagi also said that 22 witnesses, who had submitted identical affidavits before various courts relating to riot incidents, were questioned by the SIT which found that they had been tutored and handed over the affidavits by Setalvad and that they had not actually witnessed the riot incidents.

The SIT also found no truth in the following incidents widely publicised by the NGOs:

* A pregnant Muslim woman Kausar Banu was gangraped by a mob, who then gouged out the foetus with sharp weapons

* Dumping of dead bodies into a well by rioteers at Naroda Patiya

* Police botching up investigation into the killing of British nationals, who were on a visit to Gujarat and unfortunately got caught in the riots

Rohtagi said: “On a reading of the report, it is clear that horrendous allegations made by the NGOs were false. Stereotyped affidavits were supplied by a social activist and the allegations made in them were found untrue.”

Obviously happy with the fresh findings of the SIT which was responsible for the recent arrests of former Gujarat minister Maya Kodanani and VHP leader Jaideep Patel, Rohtagi tried to spruce up the image of the Modi administration, which was castigated in the Best Bakery case by the apex court as “modern day Neros”. He was swiftly told by the Bench that but for the SIT, many more accused, who are freshly added, would not have been brought to book.

The Bench said there was no room for allegations and counter-allegations at this late stage. “In riot cases, the more the delay, there is likelihood of falsity creeping in. So, there should be a designated court to fast track the trials. Riot cases should be given priority because feelings run high having a cascading effect,” it said and asked for suggestions from the Gujarat government, Centre, NGOs and amicus curiae Harish Salve, who said the time had come for the apex court to lift the stay on trials into several post-Godhra riot cases.

While additional solicitor general Gopal Subramaniam agreed with the court that public prosecutors should be selected in consultation with Raghavan, counsel Indira Jaising said there should be a complete regime for protection of witnesses as the same government, which was accused of engineering the riots, was in power now.

You do not know the Irish History then.

The ESSENTIAL point (which you have a proponsity to always miss and then you randomly assert you rationality and humanity and balh blah) is that vulnerable youngster can and are sexually exploted by ADULTS. If it SO HAPPENS that in a prticular town or particular time the vulnerable children are white girls and criminal adults are Pakistani then incidents from that town will represent this demographic fact.

Alternatively, if the vulnerable children are Irish girls/boys and the criminal ADULT is a Catholic Priest then incidents from such times and places will reflect that.

The undelying phenomenon of sexual crime against children remains the same.

Now put that in your rational pipe and humanly smoke it.

That means a lot of things are happening around us and we are unaware.

Pathak ji,

The issue of rape has got you really worked up.

What are you suggesting?

I beleive that most of the reported stories of rape are:
a) by persons known to the alleged victim
b) consensual seks when caught by someone else is also reported as rape
c) when love affair turns sour, it is also reported as rape
d) when a promise of favour (film role etc) don’t work out, its reported as rape
e) one male in normal circumstances can’t rape another female unless under influence of alcohol, think about yourself – can you do it?
f) gang rapes happen as revenge or to settle a score with something else

Now, eve teasing, groping and passing lewd remarks etc can’t be put in the same category.

Some reality check

It takes an educated girl child to lift a family out of poverty
Meeta Sengupta

http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/educable/entry/it-takes-an-educated-girl-child-to-lift-a-family-out-of-poverty

Excerpts

Mere television programs are not going to wash away our sins. Even if it is watched by millions because of Aamir Khan presenting the case against female feticide. The failure is that of our generation. It is a failure to educate and civilize a generation. If such brutality can be practiced on a regular basis by not only those who had little exposure to education, but also by professionals and bureaucrats, then the education system needs to hang its head in shame. It has achieved nothing.

The sin is not just the killing of our daughters. It is also the neglect and malnutrition of the girl child. Where there is discrimination, we have failed to teach the power of analytical thinking over received and inherited beliefs.

———-

The way out of the female feticide problem is also via education of the girl child who needs to be able to hold her own. A strong public education campaign where the worth of the child is proven must supplement the individual effort.

This is not a journey a child can undertake on their own. They need safety and mentoring. To whom does the girl turn for support and encouragement? This is a role only a teacher can perform – a sacred trust, in place of the parent. The teacher must do what the parents or society could not do. The school has a large role to play in the community. A greater role than just teaching – education is but a part of what a teacher does. The teachers who cared, who inspired – every girl child needs some of them to start her on journeys that may be more daunting because they are new.

9 jailed in racially sensitive UK sex ring case
Nine men in northwest England were sentenced to jail Wednesday for luring girls as young as 13 into sex using alcohol and drugs, a case that has stirred racial tensions and sparked claims that UK authorities are failing to protect children in state care.

Judge Gerald Clifton said the men, all of Pakistani or Afghan origin ranging from age 22 to 59, had treated their victims as “worthless,”and sentenced them for crimes including trafficking and rape.

The 59-year-old ringleader of the group received 19 years in jail, while others received between four and 12 years.

Sexploitation of a different kind :

The bloggers have raised muslims exploiting girls from others religions. I guess there is some truth in it. Lots of muslim boys fancy girls from other religions perhaps because the girls are open about sexual acts without worrying too much about a particular act is haram or not.

There is also another side to it. Young college girls in hyderabad to housewives in Mumbai to call centre girls in Gurgaon to socialites in Dubai, hindu girls deliberately seek muslim boys for casual sex. A recently popular bike loving, huge dimpled film heroine tends to seek out muslim garage mechanics from kalkaji whenever she is in Delhi. And she is not alone ! She has a gang of 7-8 married/unmarried friends who do it together. Yes, muslim boys are sort of popular in these all ladies parties. A socialite in Dubai is known to pick up Arab / **** men from clubs/pubs every night. Sometimes even truckers from the gas stations. The truckers call her ” hindu rani” and tend to call out “Allah ho…” at the height of climax. Yes, they pretend as if they are fighting a war and our socialite hindu woman loves the act !

Why am I saying all these ?

Perhaps, hindu men have lost it somewhere. They tend to intellectualise and live in denials. Today’s women demand sex more than ever. But our men perhaps still would be engrossed in Times magazines, Talk Shows when the women would be expecting them in bed !

By the way, lives of muslim women are no better ! The muslim men tend to impose too many haram restrictions on them. For them it’s dive to act, without any loving foreplays. These women long for those loving touches or intimacies. Many of them are not even allowed to touch !

It’s a weird world out there.

Time we looked within and empower our own lives.

Why we prefer social convention to rigid rules
Niranjan Rajadhyaksha

The entire debate on why the Indian govt has been unable to spend enough on things that benefit all citizens may then have to be reconsidered in terms of our own social preferences, more specifically our historical inability to broaden the arc of cooperation

http://www.livemint.com/2012/05/03191047/Why-we-prefer-social-conventio.html

A few years ago, I attended a fascinating lecture by game theorist Avinash Dixit (****). He showed the audience two videos as part of his presentation on how societies coordinate activities. The first video was of a busy traffic intersection in St Petersburg, Russia. People drove at high speeds in the belief that everybody would be paying attention to the traffic lights, but every now and then they were blindsided by a truant driver who jumped the signal. There were car crashes galore on that busy traffic intersection in St Petersburg.

The second video captured traffic movement at a similar intersection in an unnamed Indian city, but one that had no traffic lights. Every driver was cautious. The vehicles moved slowly but there were no accidents. Dixit used these two videos to explain to us the difference between “law without order” and “order without law”.

———–

**** : Avinash Dixit received a B.Sc.(Hons) from St. Xavier’s College, Bombay University in 1963 in Mathematics and Physics, a B.A. from Cambridge University in 1965 in Mathematics (Corpus Christi College, First Class), and a Ph.D. in 1968 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Economics.

Dixit is the John J. F. Sherrerd ‘52 University Professor of Economics at Princeton University,

In his B.Sc. (Hons) university examinations, he scored 600 out of 600, bettering the score of his own teacher, Prof. B. S Gai – Head of Mathematics Dept, St. Xavier’s College, who had scored 598 out of 600 way back in 1928.

@ Pathak G and Parveen

I am not surprised at all by Pathak’s statement. There is a tendency in the blood of Congressis to say something hurtfull to HIndu sentiments to prove thier loyalty towards the Congress. That gets them brownie points and leads to ascendency in the Congress circles and a raise in the perks and access to power you get.

In case somebody were to make a reverse statment that Muslim girls want to have sex with Hindu men– Pathank G and Gang would suddenly get their familiar weaponary of shouts of — Sangh parivar, Hindutva, jai Sonia Mata, Heil yuvraj – from their armoury.

To expect Pathak G to talk about Muslim girls haveing sex with Christian, Sikh or Hindu boys would almost mean asking him to surrender his COngess membership.

Parveen, I have seen the so called activists from close– people like Yogendar Sikand. They had this theory of weakening Hindus from inside– by creating faultines along caste so that either the so called lower castes get converted to Islam or other religions or at least join hands in fighting other Hindus.

My view is simple. Sex, relationships and friendships are based on emotions. Intermingling of sexes from various religions helps in lowering tensions. But then herin comes the “BATTLE OF THE WOMB.” Most people are happy to see their fellow religionist “males’ conquer females from the other religions, so that the end progeny is a convert.

Muslims sadly are very very very strict on allowing a girl from their sect to mingle with a Non Muslim. In UK, where I spent a little time a few years back, the Sikhs were worked up about “Muslim men praying on their girls, ” leading to considerable inter community tensions. In Delhi I had seen closely, a high priest of secularism– very very often on TV– having the mortification of having to see his daughter marry a Hindu boy. For one week the entire Delhi Police was deplyed to locate the couple to separate them out. Fortunately some retd army people hid the couple and better swense prevailed.

So Pathakji, instead of making such antognistic statements of Hindu girls wanting Muslim men, WHY DONT YOU HAVE THE GUTS TO SAY THAT MUSLIMS SHOULD
ALLOW THEIR GIRLS TO MIX WITH HINDUS, CHRISTIANS AND SIKHS SO THAT THERE ARE NO COMMUNAL TENSIONS…..!!

Let us not wait for PathakG’s reply. Let us expect a volley of Modi and BJP hereon !!!

Manohar

While the gender ratios of many northern and nortwestern states are dismal, the good thing is that they have recorded a slight decadal improvement from 2001 census to 2011 census, even Haryana and Delhi; although it has to be improved significantly.

To me the million dollar question is J &Kashmir. That is the only state where the gender ratio worsened, worsened by a big number (2% drop is big), from 900 in 2001 to 883 in 2011. Demographers and policy makers and social scientists have to dive in – are more female fetocide happening there because parents do not want to bring up girls in a violent, unpredictable situation there?

Delhi (866) and Haryana (877) are worse than Kashmir in the ratios; however they are moving in the right track, although very slowly.

Can I stay without this blog ? Came home for a quick lunch.

A lady went to the store to buy a parrot. Salesman shows her a parrot and quotes
the price of 20000/- Lady ” What is so special about this parrot?”
Salesman ‘ this parrot can talk’
Lady asks the parrot ‘ how do I look ?’
Parrot ” You look like a **** ”
Lady gets angry and tells the salesman that she cannot buy such a rude parrot.
Salesman requests her to wait for few minutes, takes the parrot back of the store
and shoves it in the bucket of icy water. Pulls him back after few minutes and
tells ” if you disrespect the lady again, I will soak you again in this water’.
Salesman asks the lady to ask again anything from parrot.
Lady ‘ If I come home with one man what would you think ‘
parrot ‘ he is your husband ‘
lady ‘ two men’
parrot ‘ your husband and your brother’
lady ‘ three men’
parrot ‘ your husband, your brother and your husbands brother’
lady ‘ four men’
parrot shouted ‘ bring the bucket of water, I told you she is a ****’

Also, the SIT has rejected the amicus curiae’s observation against Modi. The point by point rebuttal can be read on the link below:

http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/article3401728.ece

The report said the allegations of Mr. Modi making provocative statements over the media could not be substantiated. The allegation of his having told Zee TV in an interview that the Gulberg Society massacre was the “result of the provocative firing from inside” by Ahesan Jafri could not be established as the channel, despite several reminders, did not produce the CD of the recording. The second instance of The Times of India quoting him on Newton’s theory of action and reaction to justify the riots as a reaction to the Godhra train carnage was also found baseless. The State Information Department promptly issued a denial that Mr. Modi did not speak to The Times of India at all and the newspaper was forced to carry the denial, though deliberately in an obscure corner, the SIT said

The facts are too obvious!!

Dr Shan (and Ravi) and others;

How radical Mullahs want to enjoy 70 virgins here on the ground while they send the youngsters upstairs:

Today’s NY times – “the European Court rejected the request of the preacher, Abu Qutada, whose real name is Omar Mahmoud Mohamed Othman, to refer his case to its most senior panel of appeal judges, the latest stage in a legal battle that has dogged the British government for a decade.

Mr Mohamed Othman says he could face TORTURE if he is sent to Jordan, his native country.

S, this Mullah does not like to be tortured, want to live a nice life in Britain; although he sends batches of young Muslims to suicide attack..

NY times says — Abu Qutada, alias Mahamud Othman, is a radical preacher, one who gave spiritual inspiration to the 9/11 terrorists.

Is Ravi going to accuse NY Times for not reporting saffron attacks somewhere else?

Pathak G

You gave a very funny reply wherin you justify sex between hindu girls and Muslim men and justify that the reverse — muslim women and Hindu men is wrong.

This is the sort of viewpoint which encourages love jehad and the sort of warped thinking the Paksitani paedeophilics had.

I was calling for a liberal society wherein there is a two way interaction. You were blaming it on scared hindus!! Again the line taken by the Pakstanis when they forcibly covnert Hindu, Christian and sIKH girls.

Pathak G dont you think you suffer from a Stockholm syndrome?

My intention is to remove communal tensions. You are ending up promoting them by fostering a wrong attitude. And the atttitude– we can go out with your giirls, but you cant with ours– is the root cause of a negative attitude towards Islam in many countries.

Accept the truth and dont obfuscate.

President Obama has endorsed ’same sex marriage”.

Although it does not have any constitutional or legal underpinnings (since marriage is a state subject), it is perceived as a major “Civil rights” accomplishment.

The political pundits are perplexed as to why he would do this at this time – they do not see any upside in his electoral victory probability, but sees downside.

The consensus is that he has taken a bold decision without any electoral calculation.

Ishwar,

this is particularly for you:

IPS officer Bhatt crossed all bounds to attack Modi
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

“The month of May kept Sanjeev Bhatt busy trying to get his cronies to influence P. Chidambaram and cook up false evidence and cobble pressure groups. On 18 May he sends a mail to Nasir Chhipa, who is supposed to be close to the Congress party, telling him, “I was told by Ms. Shabnam Hashmi that Home Minister P. Chidambaram can be influenced by pressure groups in the US. All appeals for the safety of witnesses, including myself, have not received the desired response from PC. You may have to work a little on this aspect….” (Mr Chidambaram, kindly note what the IPS officer you recently praised for insubordination thinks of you.)

On 19 May Nasir Chhipa replies, “We have wrote (sic) letters yesterday to Sonia, IAMC wrote letters and many other organizations. I will email you later.” (IAMC stands for Indo-American Muslim Council.) On 28 May Sanjeev Bhatt writes, “Dear Nasirbhai, Any progress on the front of Amicus Curiae? Time is running out. We need to act quickly…”

Bhatt, the serving police officer, crosses all bounds when he prepares the affidavit of Subhranshu Chaudhary, former BBC correspondent, and procures it to substantiate his false stand that he had attended the meeting at Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi’s residence on 27 February 2002. On 15 May, the telephonic coordinates of Shubhranshu Chaudhary are sent to him by Bhatt to file an affidavit in the Supreme Court to collaborate his false statement that he was present in the meeting of the Chief Minister by recreating his movements. Shockingly, the said details are also sent simultaneously to Teesta Setalvad on 16 May for drafting the affidavit to be filed by Shubhranshu Chaudhary. In one of the pre-affidavit mails to Chaudhary, Bhatt tutors him by writing, “May be you can mention that I had met him (Sanjeev Bhatt) on 27th when he was about to go to the ‘disputed’ meeting.” Does one require any further evidence of the perjury in Bhatt’s affidavit?

When Shubhranshu Chaudhary shows reluctance to give media hype to his affidavit, the petitioner writes to him advising use of the media, and asks whether Chaudhary is more comfortable with Arnab Goswami or Rajdeep Sardesai? When Chaudhary’s reluctance still persists, Bhatt writes to him, “My feeling is that we could let the press sniff it out and contact you. It will not only make a good story for them, but, make the print media to take notice of your affidavit and finally force the hand of amicus and Supreme Court to take notice and subsequent affirmative action.”
