Let the best man be President

Sonia Gandhi has done signal disservice to this country, by promoting the presidency of a petty thief called Pratibha Patil, whose family members are all immersed in crimes of forgery, defalcation,misappropriation, corruption and even murder.

A one time cook of the Indira Gandhi household, there was no other qualification for the petty crook, who has looted the country after becoming the president too, by her frequent travels abroad, costing several hundred crores to the nation.

Her acute propensity for land grabbing almost set the military on the war path with the government.

If Sonia Gandhi was so enamoured of this thieving lady, she should have been bold enough to propose her name for a second term.

Something is seriously wrong with Muslims.

Muslims will not allow the young Mayanmar democracy to breathe. They have already started jehadism and killings, killing many Budhists last week.
Budhists say Bangla Deshi Muslims are creating this problem…

Muslims will not let anybody to live in peace!

I think the COngress projected Pranab Mukherji as a smoke screen. In the end it will getin meira Kumar or someone else.
Mukherji has casued a big disaster to India with the retrospective tax. He probably eys the PM’s chair– knowing that the ineffective Rahul will get a fit of nerves.
Pranab also senses that the UPA will be trounced by teh NDA in 2014. He may put up his hand for the tops seat. even if Sonia does not want it so.

I have been following YSR loot saga. I think this is something I saw in Phillipines, where the marcos family took everything which existed in the country as their own.
Sonia used to praise YSR heavily. Well I hope he did not hand over his looted and soiled money to the Congress high command.
On the informal auditor circuit, Anil Kumar , YSR’s son in law and Jagan — the son–is known for having invested very heavily in real estate all over India– maybe a couple of thousand crores. He is an evangelist and runs his own God show portraying himself as a creator after Chirst. Strange that he too 1.4 lakh acre mining lease.

[Reply]

We had strong, respected Presidents such as Rajendra Prasad, Dr Radhakrishnan, Dr Abdul Kalam, and Venketaraman .

UPA should work together with NDA to nominate an individual who can command the country’s respect; who can be viewed as a facilitator for progress.
With all the corruption issues weighing down on the country, this person should be viewed by citizens as a person who will resurrect “Satyameva Jayate” in our government.

Mr Vinod ‘Dalal’ Sharma, I am convinced that I have to agree with you. As our beloved Italian ex-maid has just two months ago been named as the 4th wealthiest politician by Busines Insider, a very reputed busness mag from USA. There is yet ‘work’ to be “done” by this Congress government. All ‘patriotic’ Indians have to ensure that our beloved Italian ex-maid has to top this august list over the Saudi monarch and HAS to become the wealthies politician in the world, only then would the Congress Party have achieved in full the mandate it obtained form our electorate.

Let me throw a bait at all the gumshudda’s ont eh blog .

Pathak G and Manohar and Mahesh

So finally I have managed to convince you to change and appreciate that

a) India has to outgrow dynastic succession and become a mature democracy

b) That Sonia and Rahul are unfit for running this country. The big changes happened here becasue of MMS, PV Rao, NDA. in both economic and foreign policy. No point in thinking that Sonia g thought India should grow fast and India started groiwing at 9 %.

c) That Rahul’s entry into politics has been an unmitigated disaster for India and Congress. No point in creating spin that there is something mysterious hidden in his brain and genes which will create magic.

d) The corruption of COngress is huge. Jagan’s corruption only came out becasue he fell out with the high command. Otherwise he would have been hailed as a saint, a people’e leader, a secular giant and a true soldier of Mataji and babyji.

Ravi can also answer this as he is itching to get in some Modi and RSS factor here.

Remember, investment is rooted in confidence and confidence in intuitions,

occupies the high office is to continue occupying it at any cost and consequence
to the nation, it impacts the overall investment climate – a fact that must be

Just as I sign off and much through my Subway sandwich, I get this horrible feeling that the India story which began in 1991 may end up with a whimper now… all because idiots in the Congress thought that it was time to demolish Manmohan Singh and project Rahul. In doing so, the unbeatable legacy of Manmohan was demolished and a fake aura and spin was sought to be created about Sonia gandhi’s and Rahul’s infallibilty and wisdom.

Having worked with international accounting majors, I know how the Fortune 500 rely on them for investment guidance. You and me can scoff and say, why should S&P or moody’s bother us. In the end the finance manger of say Castrol or BP or IBM will not hear your voice but just look at the destination’s investment ratings before committing funds.

First the upcoming presidential election. Vinod congressi sharma’s lines”The UPA cannot afford to lose the Presidential election due in July. The government at the Centre wouldn’t last if the combine fails to send its candidate to the high office”

FOR GOD’S SAKE PRESIDENT IS A CEREMONIAL POST , WHICH SHOULD STAND FOR ENTIRE INDIA , AND NOT PETTY POLITICS
It should always be APOLITICAL but somebody matching the stature of Radhakrishnan and Kalam.IS INDIA SO SHORT OF PHILOSOPHERS , SCIENTISTS , ECONOMIST , ACADEMICIAN OF INTERNATIONAL REPUTE.
But India being a BANNANA REPUBLIC , elects CLOWN and a FREELOADER
like Pratibha patil. The fact that the scum and bum that is CPM and SHIVSENA were at the forefront of her election says it all.
I have no problem with SONIA MAINO’S italian genes and STRICTLY CATHOLIC upbringinging.But a FORMER WAITRESS, who reads out from Latin alphabet the HINDI speeches she makes .Give me a break.
Well then this is the india of Mayavati and mulayam , and chandan Basu.

The problem is not so much the INEPT SCLEROSED CONgress
The problem is the ALTERNATIVE.
I still need to be convinced about MODI , THOUGH HE IS THE ONLY BET FOR BJP.
Modi has quite a few attributes that will make him a good PM.
1. He is BEST orator in current india, YOU NEED TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE MASSES , THEY DO NOT FOLLOW TWITTER.Contrast this with the DUMBO MMS
2.HE IS NOT ARROGANT, he will LISTEN to great acdemicians like amaryta sen et al
3.HE IS NOT PERSONALLY CORRUPT
4.HE will DELEGATE powers and decision making (contrast with dynastic rule , that dictates all orders emanate from 10 janpath and the CPM in sari that is Mamata.
But BJP MUST MAKE A CLEAN BREAK FROM RSS , THEY CANNOT DICTATE THE BJP.
It is all right for rss to attend BJP meetings and vice versa , BUT BJP CANNOT BE MADE A “BAAP KA MAAL” of RSS
If BJP can assure this , then I am looking forward to Narendra Modi as next PM

A Tale of Two kings –

A couple of days ago, AK Antony inaugurated a photography wing at the Travancore Palace, exhibiting key photographs in the history of Travancore – photos of the opening of the first Girls School, Womens college, temple entry proclamation, etc etc. The present “king”, Hon’ble Marthanda Varma, a dimunutive man, was standing next to him in a simple dhoti and shirt. Antony was all praise for the simple lifestyle of the erstwhile Travancore kings, their contributions to the prajas including his parents, and digging in on the new kings of politics who steal instead of creating.

Now Pattom Palace, the king’s residence, is no palace from North Indian palace standards, it is just a decent size house.

Marthanda Varma who could legally have taken all the jewels the family had left at the feet of Sri Padmamnbaha at the Padmanabha Swamy temple, decided to leave it for the God since he was just a caretaker of Travancore on behalf of the God. The jewelry is still being counted, the last estimate was $1.2 trillion.

Jagan Reddy, the 39 year old modern political King constructs his palaces – one in Hyderabad, another one in Bangalore – with helipads, elevators, 70 or so bedrooms—he and his father rape the land and water of Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka/Andhra border city of Bellary. From nothing, now he is worth $1 trillion (and counting).

But unfortunately here everything is opposite. No body is considering the best names. Here in circulations are four things: 1- Loyalty to Sonia/Rahul. 2-Muslim or approval from Islamic hardliners. 3-SC and 4-No relevance in any field. The best names like Ratan Tata, Narayan Murthy, Fali Narayan, Soli Sohrabji, Harish Salve, Gen.V.K.Singh, Anna Hazre, Shri Ravi Shankar, K.P.S.Gill, T.N.Sheshan, Gopalswami, M.J.Akbar, Kiran Majumdar Shaw, Indra Nui, Meera Sanyal, Arun Shorie, JagMohan, Homi Kapadia, Justice Katju, Gopal Krishan Gandhi, Anil Kakodkar, Upendra Buxhi, etc., are out of people’s mind and out of field. After Dr.S.Radhakrishnan this office has been marred by religion, caste, flattery etc, considerations. Now it is high time that President and VP should be elected directly by voters as they are elected in America. Otherwise nation will be graced by a good for nothing person as a president and VP once again.

The Bombay Parsi Punchayet (BPP) informed the Bombay High Court on Monday that it has revised the definition of a ‘poor Parsi’ as one who earns upto Rs. 90,000 per month in order to become eligible for accommodation in a subsidised housing scheme of the community.

~~~ WHERE ARE THE HUMAN RIGHTS AND WOMEN’S RIGHTS BRIGADE ?
=============================================================

India needs the best of ideas and laws on human rights and women’s rights.

Unfortunately in the past few years– fake human right activists — who only recognize the rights of LeT and Maoists have tried to capture this stage. Similarly while Indian women need protection from dowry and unfair treatment, certain trolls have created and used these laws, especially the barbarian section 498 to implicate men.

But now has come the acid test. Marriage of underage girls AND EVERYONE IS STRANGELY SILENT.

let us remember our country that girls were getting married young and and in many states it still happens. Historically when the life expextancy was 35 in 1947, it was perhaps a logical thing to do.

But today the national priorities are different.

a) Population control, which a higher age marriage can achieve

b) Education of girls… which can only happen in case they marry once they complete college .

But… but… but… With the court giving precedence to what is written in a book over what is common sense, the equation has changed. The Muslim girl child will now be denied education, enlightenment, mixing with men ( which all girls I know love to do), seeing the world, the chance of a career. the chance of leading your won life… and so many things…

And the s called human rights brigade and the women’s rights brigade is silent!!!

The UPA has no balls to rectify this. Who believes that Baby G, Sonia G, Digviansh G or Salman ji want to do anything on this. They would rather tell the muslims that we have killed the constitution for you and held the Sharia to be superior…

I cry for India today…

Barely a decade back or so, Few Pakistanis, conspired to invite eminent jewellers of India to Delhi, with possibility of lucrative deals, of course with psuedonames and all that it takes. kidnapped, kept them at some place in Friend’s colony and disappeared with large amount of ransom money. They had internal support. So, people should be exrtra vigilant that this does not happen to our riches in Kerala.

I am here in the US; got an unique opportunity to observe the presidential elections/campaigning.

It is quite interesting in the sense the candidates (Obama, Romney) are generally fighting about ideas/vision for America – size of the government, govt spending, social programs, regulations, social spending, alternate economic views etc etc and not anything about corruption. I should say the electoral campaigning/money generation etc is all corrupt, Supreme court loopholes, unlimited spending by people who have money etc..

The election laws vary from state to state; there is this big drive to block many people (mostly democrats) from voting in the republican governed states. They purge the records, make it difficult to vote etc.. It is simply amazing these guys go overseas to monitor elections!

They passed a law “Corporations are citizens too” – as a result of a law suit called “Citizens United”. This opens up unlimited campaign/issue advertising money. Already, two rich Republicans, named Koch brothers have spent $ 1 billion against democratic candidates.

shoeb , you have raised a very important and interesting question about the nature of american politics.You are absolutely correct AMERICA IS THROUGH AND THROUGH CORRUPT.But still it is NUMERO UNO .WHY
This brings me back to what I had reiterated earlier CORRUPTION IS NOT THE MAIN REASON FOR INDIA’S LAGGARDNESS
The reason are1, INDIA HAS CRONY CAPITALISM NO VENTURE CAPITALISM
Apple , steve jobs as you know was a technician in ATARI , the big console maker for computer games . Bill gates was a harvard drop out(though remember , he got into harvard in maths ).
IN INDIA IT IS ALL BAAP KA MAAL, Ambanis , Birlas , Tata’s.
2.INDIAN UNIVERSITIES ARE ALL ****, it is the INDIAN CULTURE that is reflected in the universities(SMUGNESS, BOSSING , THEIVING , no aspiration for greatness, NO CULTURE OF RAISING FUNDS FROM ENDOWMENT)
3. apparently MILTON FREIDMAN who had visited India in 1950’s had suggested THAT INDIA SHOULD INVEST ON BUILDING HUMAN CAPITAL , RATHER THAN BIG PUSH FOR INDUSTRIALISATION .
Now consider the consequences , if india had heeded his advice LIKE SOUTH EAST ASIA DID.
100% LITERACY would have VERY VERY DRASTICALLY reduce BIRTH RATE. present india with a population of say 400 MILLION.
(It was 300 million in 1950)
Very high quality university would have produced our own bill gates and steve jobs , also govt research inst would not be a FOREIGN TOUR MAKING jobs
UNIVERSAL HIGH QUALITY education WOULD HAVE THE LIFTED THE STANDARD OF POLITICS TO A PEDESTAL UNLIKE BEING IN THE GUTTER THAT THE PRESENT POLITICS IS
indan’s would have a SENSE OF NATIONHOOD, and would not lend themselv ruled by a FORMER WAITRESS

With Bo Xilai’s and his wife’s arrest for killing the British businessman and for creating separatism/sabotage the politebureau, events in China are off-script. There was news about Zhou Yongkang, a member friendly to Bo Xilai, the Chonquing chief, trying a coup..

It looks like, for the first time Chinese people are disgusted with the corruption at the highest level, and there is a sort of groundswell –internet etc is blocked/monitored even more stringently.

Anyway your view will be quite beneficial.

Possibly Pranab Mukherji may take over as PM. I think the Congress would be then saying that the 8 years of MMS were bad and forgettable. Pranab Mukherji may be pretty vocal but his tenure as FM was pretty lousy.

Maybe he was better as a Foreign Minister.

From the political events of the last two days , I draw the following inferences .
1. Mamata Banerjea appears to be heading for a break up- with UPA.
2. SP can still build bridges with the Congress and bargain for something in return
3. Congress can always come up with a third name , as it has not declared the two names publically of its own , and the names were only been mentioned by Mamta.
4. On date Congress cannot find another rubber stamp to replace Manmohan Singh , who can also be acceptable to the allies. Although Manmohan Singh may personally be keen to become President as it keeps him sheltered from the problems which he is bound to face once he demits office.
5. Congress has also to keep in mind that the votes from AP after the bye-election results ,may not come the way it wants , so it has to provide for that situation also .
So much for the inferences , and now my hunch . Notwithstanding press reports, which to my mind are meant to be smoke screen, Sonia Gandhi does not want Pranab Mukerjee to be President. and would want Hamid Ansari. Rejection of Pranab by Mamta and Mulayam makes her happy as the onus shifts to others.
To my mind whether he becomes or not , the person to watch out in the days to come shall be Pranab Mukerjee..

The UPA is a three legged horse without any strength. The antics of projecting the son to be bigger than the PM has backfired badly and S&P have commented about this calling it a parallel power centre.

Funnily the COngress thinks that Manmohan Singh is the parallel power centre !

No Chinese girls for me this time. I am with my wife and my younger son.

This gentleman Bholaram got the information that next day income tax people
were going to raid his office and residence. Worried he called his 3 best Freinds to get their advise.
First friend ‘ remove all your furniture, Tv, fridge and replace everything with
old and broken items, seeing this IT people may not bother you thinking that you may be a poor person ‘
Second friend ‘ don’t listen to him, IT peope are very intelligent, better just pay them a bribe whatever they demand’
Third friend ‘ I will tell a story of a young girl who was about to get married and
asked her two friends to advise her how to impress her husband on wedding night. One told her to wear traditional cloths ghoonghat and all that while other told to her wear all revealing clothes ‘
Bholaram ‘What this story has got to do with IT raid ‘?
Third friend ‘ what I am trying to tell you is that, whatever you do, same thing
will happen to you what happened to the young girl that night’
Bholaram ‘ what ‘?
Third friend ‘ You will be screwed.’

Have to go now, C U hopefully tommorow.

Regarding India going Sharia, there are many on this blog (absent this week) who will prefer Sharia to an imaginary, fascist, RSS who will rule India with pre Sharia rules…
There will also be secularists like Manohar who will say a free country should provide for all sorts of laws. US banning sharia law means they are not a democracy.

But you may not be far off – West bengal, kerala etc will have Sharia sooner.
The education minister of kerala, Abu Rabb, refused to light the traditional brass lamp for a cultural function (for lighting the lamp is against his religion) ; forget, Indians for ages have prayed “thamaso ma jyotir gamaya – take us from darkness to light! With the minister refusing, the Christian woman mayor of the city, Alleppy, did the lighting..She did not ahve an issue.
No secularists made an issue of this. He changed the name of his official house from Ganga ( a name that has been there since Kerala became a state in 1956; a house that has been occupied by Muslim, Hindu, Christian ministers ever since; ) to Grace. No issues.

You know, for a brief period the name of , Calicut was changed to Islamabad – during Tipu Sultan’s run. It reverted back to its old name.

I will not be surprised if Thiru Anantha Puram (the abode of Sri Anantha) gets changed to Malik-al-bukhr or some sh— like that, because the Congress party in kerala needs their support to be in power.;

@ Gopi

Let me expand the canvas of our discussion. Will Islam be reformed in our life time?

Frankly I have no answer. But the gut feeling I have is , it won’t, at least in India. Out here all regressive and anti humanity steps are being welcomed. religious reservations, marriage of underage girls, Talaq by three utterances, the Superman of the Saudi thought.

Today only a few organizations and countries have the guts to tell the truth to the Islamic fundoos and the regressive thinkers. They are

a) USA

b) RSS

c) Jews and European right and centre.

Rest will keep quiet for political correctness or pretend ther is no problem in unequal rights of men and women in Islam. The utter obstinacy of Islam in face of change, by resisting seems to have attracted some people in the west to it.

I think we are in for a period of confrontation.

Coming from China, Mohan’s jokes may not be that sizzling. And I have already undertaken to say good morning to all friends with a joke.
Even though this joke is American, it has a distInctly Indian ‘flavour’:

Why
condoms are packed in 3s, 6s & 12s

A man walks into a drug store with his 8-year old
son. They happen to walk by the condom display, and the boy Asks, “What are
these, Dad?” To which the man Matter-of-factly replies, “Those are called
condoms, son. Men use them to have safe sex.”

Oh, I see,” replied the boy
pensively. “I’ve heard of That in health class at school.”

He looks over
the display and picks up a package of 3 and asks, Why are there 3 in this
package?” The dad replies, “Those are for high school boys, one for Friday, one
for Saturday, and one for Sunday..”

“Cool” says the boy… He notices a 6
pack and asks, “Then, who are these for?”

“Those are for college men,”
the dad answers. “TWO for Friday, TWO for Saturday, and TWO for Sunday.” “WOW!”
exclaimed the boy, “Then, who uses THESE?” he asks, picking up a
12-pack.

With a sigh and a tear in his eye, the dad replied, “Those are
for married men. One for January, one for February, one for March….up to
December”

The boy replied; “I am not getting married!!!!”

GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY.

NOT TO FORGET… FRAUD HAPPENS ELSEWHERE TOO !

Cricket mogul Allen Stanford sentenced to 110 years
Agence France-Presse Last updated on Friday, 15 June 2012

Houston: Financier and cricket mogul Allen Stanford was sentenced to 110 years in jail for a $7 billion Ponzi scheme on Thursday, closing the book on the flamboyant ex-tycoon’s stunning fall from grace.

“This is one of the most egregious frauds ever presented to a trial jury in federal court,” Judge David Hittner said in handing down the lengthy sentence.

The verdict will bring some satisfaction — but likely little financial relief — to some 30,000 investors from more than 100 countries who were bilked by bogus investments with Stanford International Bank.

Investigators could not find 92 percent of the $8 billion the bank said it had in assets and cash reserves.

Stanford, 62, has spent the past three years in jail after being deemed a flight risk. He will likely never taste freedom again.

Prosecutors declined to comment due to a gag order that will remain in effect until other Stanford bank executives face trial. They cited moving testimony, however, in a press release announcing the verdict.

“This was not a bloodless financial crime carried out on paper,” Angie Shaw, director and founder of the Stanford Victims Coalition, said at the sentencing hearing.

“It was and is an inconceivably heinous crime and it has taken a staggering toll on the victims.”

Jaime Escalona, who represents victims from Latin America, told Stanford he “took advantage of the trust that is placed in US companies and caused losses that prevented families from being able to pay for medical and basic living expenses.”

“You are a dirty, rotten scoundrel,” Escalona said.

In a tearful speech, Stanford blamed the collapse of his empire on the “Gestapo tactics” of overzealous prosecutors and insisted that his investments would have eventually paid dividends, KHOU news reported.

“I’m not a thief,” Stanford, who did not testify at trial, told the judge.

“I am and will always be at peace with the way I conducted myself.”

Hittner ordered Stanford to serve the bulk of his penalties consecutively rather than concurrently, which means he will die in jail if he is unable to overturn the conviction at appeal or obtain a pardon.

Hittner also imposed a $5.9 billion “personal money judgment” ordering Stanford to repay his criminal proceeds, but found it “impractical” to issue a restitution order, prosecutors said.

Allies were reportedly told that the Samajwadi Party and the Trinamool want fresh elections, and that is why it was imperative that the UPA have its own candidate in Rashtrapati Bhavan. This, even though Ms Banerjee insisted she does not want early polls and wants to remain a part of the UPA.

HOLY COW!
Bihari Essay “Indian Cow” (PLS GO THROUGH THIS!!)

—————————————————————

You’ll forget your English by the time you finish reading this. This is a true essay written by a Bihari candidate at the UPSC Examinations.
—————————————————————————

The candidate has written an essay on the Indian cow:

Indian Cow

HE IS THE COW.
“The cow is the successful animal. Also he is 4 footed, And because he is female, he give milks, [ but will do so when he is got child.] He is same like-God, sacred to Hindus and useful to man. But he has got four legs together. Two are forward and two are afterwards. His whole body can be utilised for use. More so the milk. Milk comes from 4 taps attached to his basement. [ horses dont have any such attachment]

What can it do? Various ghee, butter, cream, curd, why and the condensed milk and so forth. Also he is useful to cobbler, watermans and mankind generally. His motion is slow only because he is of lazy species, Also his other motion.. gober] is much useful to trees, plants as well as for making flat cakes[like Pizza] , in hand and drying in the sun.

Cow is the only animal that extricates his feeding after eating. Then afterwards she chew with his teeth whom are situated in the inside of the mouth. He is incessantly in the meadows in the grass. His only attacking and defending organ is the horns, specially so when he is got child. This is done by knowing his head whereby he causes the weapons to be paralleled to the ground of the earth and instantly proceed with great velocity forwards. He has got tails also, situated in the backyard, but not like similar animals. It has hairs on the other end of the other side. This is done to frighten away the flies which alight on his cohesive body hereupon he gives hit with it.

The palms of his feet are soft unto the touch. So the grasses head is not crushed. At night time have poses by looking down on the ground and he shouts . His eyes and nose are like his other relatives. This is the cow…….”

The most interesting election of the President of India is finally underway. As I see it , the unique feature this time is that this election is beset with intrigue , conspiracy, moves and counter -moves never seen before.
Pranab Mukerjea managed to get himself made the UPA candidate inspite of the reluctance of Sonia Gandhi. To great extent it was Mamta who did it for him. Sonia had suggested two names to her , hoping she will agree to Ansari , but Mamta had something else on her mind and she upset Sonia ’s cart. Sonia was compelled to- a) announce the UPA candidate without delay and it had to be one name and not two. b) When it had to be one it could only be Pranab and not Ansari.
Mulayam as we all know has his own political compulsions and there were different opinions in his camp. On the one hand to stabilize his son in UP , and on the other hand to encash the momentum of his recent victory, which neccesitates early elections by engineering the collapse of this govt. Finally the love for the son won.
In my opinon, Pranab has been the biggest gainer, Sonia has been able to salvage her “Might and Majesty” challenged by Mamta, but has to settle for a President she never wanted. With Manmohan still as PM she gets a chance to continue to run the govt the way she wants. Allies continue to get a chance to loot .Mamta for the moment loses her prestige Maulayam gains something loses something. But the game still has scope for some twist, as the bye-election results are very bad news for the Congress.

@ Vijay, Gopi, MOhan, Rizzy, SHoeb and other friends

I guess all you guys are worked up to the moon on seeing this damn judgement of allowing Muslim girls to get married at 15. Even I am worked up. Nobody really asked for it… the judgement came out of the blue, and now that it has come up, nobody will have the guts to reverse it.

Guys… not all Muslims would want women to be living in a one way street of parental dictatorship and then the husbands orders, so be charitable. Wrong is wrong and the faster it is undone, the less damaging it would be. There is a silent younger gen, which sees that the orthodoxy is leading us to a path of stagnation and confrontation. So let the blog be supportive of that, rather than uniformly tarnishing all Muslim voices to be wedded to Sharia. The guys sporting the goat beard and lashing at all is as proud and maybe as lustfull of Sania’s success as I and you are.

Well in the end– Satyamev jayate. Amir Khan should take this up as he has the guts to stand up.

Pervez,

A nice post by you about the law of Muslims girls getting married at 15 years of age. I don’t think any change can come from outside of Muslim community,
No politician will also ever try to bring any change because by now you would
have realized that in our country almost all politicians play vote bank politics.
Politicians know that more backward people means more votes for them.
Rahul Gandhi had once said that Congress is the only party which works for
poor peope of the country and their most of the policies have made sure that
poor always remain poor for them to continue ruling. The change has to come
from within the Muslim community. This scare of raising the voice against regressive bearded Mullas should be removed. Not only youngster like you
can help but if the famous Muslims of India regulary speak about these
regressive customs in the community will have an immense impact.
People like Abdul Kalam, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan,SRK , Azim Premji
and many famous cricketers can make a huge difference if they give their
voice to this great cause.
Regarding Modi, I don’t think he will ever apologize for the riots in Gujarat.
That will be bad politics ,according to him any regret or apology will considered as an acceptance of the ‘crime’. You have to stay in Gujarat for
for few months to see the difference Modi’s rule has brought in the state.
Things have improved a lot and people from all the communities have benefitted. Yesterday Shenoy gave a link about children’s education in Gujarat,
there are many such things happening in this state under the guidance of Modi
which improves the lives and brings prosperity to all the people of state.
These Teestas and Sarabais are only interested in their own welfare.

Well today’s news on Rajat Gupta is disturbing to say the least, Having seen him at close quarters– not personally– but in conferences, I always felt that he was a magnetic personality who could get things done. I have seen and heard him speak and always felt that he could well be India;s ambassador for getting in foreign investment. Very very sad that he had to go this way.

To tell you a secret, he is unlucky to have been caught. Insider trading is an ambgious term and most mutual funds in India survive on insider trading. So to corporate houses which trade in their own shares, depending on their yearly performance.

Can anyone in the share market and corporate life— in India, US, UK or Japan– actually swear that he does not depend on insider news?

[Reply]

Gopi, Pankaj ji,

here is some more thoughts on why a reluctant Sonia Gandhi was forced to give the President’s chair to Pranab da:

“Was Sonia trying to be too clever by half? Was she setting the mercurial Mamata loose to indicate that there was fierce opposition to Mukherjee from within his home State? Would the confusion of Mamata and Mulayam demanding wider consultations have given her the necessary elbow room to smuggle in a third name and, in the process, negate Pranab? After all, many in the Congress president’s charmed circle had let it be known that the Finance Minister was not the lady’s first choice.

Unfortunately for the Congress, not everything can be pre-scripted. It would be fair to say that no one in the Congress ever expected the Mamata-Mulayam list to include Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as the second preference — a gesture that was tantamount to ridicule. Neither did they ever contemplate that Mulayam would give his endorsement to Mamata’s insistence on Kalam. The 16-hour delay in the Congress responding to the Mamata-Mulayam bombshell was not calculated. It was the inevitable consequence of the Congress weighing the consequences of a sideshow that had gone horribly wrong. More to the point, the M&M show had exposed Sonia to the charge that she had botched up her responsibility to manage the presidential election — a charge that loyal Congressmen could never countenance……”

Gopi, Binoy, Pankaj ji,

Here is a very candid article by Kanchan Gupta, worth a read:
She may be impetuous but Ms Banerjee is not un-intelligent. She should have known better than to trust Mr Yadav and believe that he would stand by his publicly stated choice of potential candidates — Mr Kalam, Mr Manmohan Singh and Mr Somanth Chatterjee, though not necessarily in that order as he clarified at the Press conference which he addressed with Ms Banerjee. Mr Yadav has turned coat in the past (recall the Samajwadi Party bailing out the Congress during the tainted confidence vote of 2008) and is a pale shadow of the feisty heartland politician who not many years ago had poured water on Ms Sonia Gandhi’s soaring ambitions.”Times change, people change. Mr Yadav is now more amenable to doing the Congress’s bidding, if not for the Rs 97,000 crore cheque that his son needs to fulfil the Samajwadi Party’s election promises (which is not to be confused with the economic development of Uttar Pradesh) then for keeping the CBI from reopening the case in which he has been accused of acquiring assets disproportionate to his known sources of income. It is astonishing that Ms Banerjee, who is not a novice in politics, chose to bank on a morally bankrupt politician. Having more than burned her fingers, she will now hopefully get back to minding the affairs of West Bengal. They do need minding.”http://www.dailypioneer.com/columnists/item/51815-a-lesson-in-low-politics-of-high-intrigue.html

Coming back from a bar, Yes, I can also go to a bar. And, I know, something about bar maids, struggling young girls, trying to make both ends meet. And, my Yuvraj of yesteryears, took fancy to her, and She is ruling India?? By god, worst nightmare is a reality. And there are whole bunch of people, sounding like Indians, who are supporting her on this blog and in reality. Hope, people have not forgotten names like, Mir Zafar, jaichand and such. In future, I would like to add many names from contemporary India.

UP government orders all malls, shops to shut at 7pm

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/UP-government-orders-all-malls-shops-to-shut-at-7pm/articleshow/14217961.cms

Huge shortage of power has led to this situation. SP needs 97000 crores for
the freebies only they had promised during the elections. From where money will come to build power stations ? All these CMs should learn from Modi and
Jayalalitha how to run their states.

[Reply]

I have visited more than 100 shops/outlets and felt something strange that
about 97-98% of the employees are female. One hardly finds a male working
at these places. Even in restaurants I found all female waitresses. In Indian restaurants Indians are not allowed to serve only Chinese can be employed
for this post.
Maximum an Indian restaurant can have only two Indian employees in the
cook’s category.

Look to Gujarat to hear ‘good news’

http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/right-and-wrong/entry/look-to-gujarat-to-hear-good-news

If Modi indeed brings with him a wagon load of political liabilities, including European and American disdain, why do opinion polls indicate a steady rise in his popularity graph all over India? Why does the social media, which is otherwise fully exposed to the scepticism of the mainstream media, so lavish in his adulation of the man it calls NAMO? Why does he have seven lakh Twitter followers?

Pathak ji,

you said, “We also slam fundoos, whenever we get a chance.
But for that one can not travel all the way to Bangalore. So try to do that on the net, whenever we get time and opportunity.”

I think you can be a little more specific. I will recall here that Vinodji had once thrown out Tejinder, the ultimate fundoo for his offensive cut-and-paste jobs against Hindus, Sikhs etc and for being highly offensive and obnoxious.
Now you might have observed the other Islamic fundoo and jihadi plant on this blog, the fake Ravi too has dropped out, seemingly voluntarily but obviously unable to bear the utter isolation he suffered by the withdrawal of the two congressi trolls, Manohar and Mahesh.
Therefore, now you are hinting that you cannot travel to Bangalore to slam the fundoo. If you are suggesting that I am a fundoo, you are free to believe in illusions. I can only attribute it to your own feeling of frustration at the unforced dropping out of certain pseudos who were, rather undeservedly, backed by you to the hilt.

Agar aap kahen toh main khud chalke Delhi aa sakta hoon.
Aur jitna ji chahen aap mera pitayi kar sakte hain. Hai Manzoor?

PS: Mahesh need n ot have dropped out. In fact, in a weird sort of way, we all liked to read his long posts and consider ourselves fortunate to have read something big and profound, even if most of his posts went beyond our comprehension.

If Pathakji is looking for fundoos , he does not have to go far. Congress HQ is less than 2 kms from Curzon Road.

Last call for Manohar and Mahesh!
——————————————–

C’mon guys, don’t be gumshudda’s for so long!

Manohar,

I think you should come back. You may or may not agree with me… but then there are a lot of people you do agree with. Absence from the blog is unwarranted.

Further on if you remember you even called me mad (tera dimaag bigad gaya hai), irrational ( kya bakwaas bolta rehata hai), abusive ( when I NEVER abused you), uneducated (your education is a waste of resources) and what not.

At the end of the day I have trained myself to let that spoil my day or blog presence.

I think you should come back

@ Mahesh

My pal who can share a daru bottle with me some day… remember that we do need your mindbending posts. You did call me a airhead, jumping jeetendra (?) , troll and what not. But at the end of the day your problem will not be solved by deserting post. So

I think you may be missing the company of SHan or whatever. But still do come here.

Dekho dekho kaun aaya…
Gujarat ka sher aaya….
It is said that the smaller wild life and the birds are the first to annouce the presence of a sher …and I think Mohan.. the signs have started showing up . JDU has started its pressure tactics with the BJP …and a war of nerves now appears to be on the anvil. They are opposing the BJPs attempt to force a contest against Pranab , which may open the way for the NDA for a dialogue with parties like BJD , Trinamool , AIADMK … We may see this tug of war between the JDU and the BJP hotting up in the days to come.
But regardless of what JDU does , I think the RSS /BJP should go ahead with Modi . Yehi hai Right Choice …

To defeat IPL. The English Board lost their virginity!!!=============

Stanford saga is a lesson for cricket

Suresh Menon Last updated on Monday, 18 June 2012

Bangalore: The man who set out to single-handedly revive cricket in the West Indies and England will spend the next 110 years in prison, give or take. The Allen Stanford saga – and the T20 match between the two teams that embarrassed both – is already a footnote in the history of the game. As Mike Atherton asks in a collection of his writings, “(the affair has) a rather surreal tone. Was it really possible that an American ‘financier’ hoodwinked English cricket, offered the players a million-dollars-a-man match, cavorted around with the players’ wives before falling foul of the Securities and Exchanges Commission? Did it really happen?”

It did, and cricket nearly paid a price for the greed and officials’ lack of judgement.

Both were inspired – if that’s the word – by India’s status in world cricket. The English board hoped to use businessman Stanford to counter the IPL and to put India in their place. A year before the infamous match, Stanford had offered a similar winner-take-all deal to India, and it is to the credit of the Indian board that it turned him down.

In the end, Stanford’s Ponzi scheme unravelled and the seven-billion-dollar fraud was exposed. The cricket match in Antigua earned further notoriety when Stanford was photographed with the wives of some English players on his lap, as well as for his habit of walking in and out of the dressing rooms uninvited.

Nasser Hussain, the former England captain, might have had his tongue in the vicinity of his cheek (or not) when he wrote: “Wives must remember that their husbands are potentially earning a fortune…if the man who is putting up all the money wants to give them a quick cuddle for the cameras, is that really a big problem?”

Cricket boards generally find it difficult to ignore millionaires who walk into their offices (or land on their iconic grounds in a helicopter) carrying suitcases full of money.

Syrian rebellion-
Fourteen months ago, a 13 year old Hamza Ali’s tortured, dead body (with genitals cut off, face mashed, ) was delivered to his parents by the Syrian army – the crime he committed was that he drew some graffiti against the Assad govt.

Brutality did not work this time. His parents started the movement against Assad, now in its 14th month. Estimates say 10,000 plus Syrians have been killed by the government. The killing will continue either with Assad regime ending or with the rebels stopping because they just cannot take the carnage any more.

Syria, like many other countries, is a creation of the mapmakers/colonial masters when they drew new maps and borders after the ruins of the Ottoman empire, World War 1. A country with a mixture of ethnicitiies and religion was drawn up with little regard for either. Conflicts and the muscle rule by strong men have been the norm ever since. Basher’s father Hafiz killed 30,000 people in Hama in 1982.

Pakistan, Israel/Palestine, Iraq and many more are the colonialists’ creations. All going through mess even after all the years.

Like all these countries, Syria’s survival , even after it comes out of the current bloodshed, will be questionable. At some point, Assad regime may crack – how long he can kill his own people (or may be he is not killing his people, Alawites, but killing Sunnis!) But if it cracks, then we will discover the true Syria, whether it was another mixed/messed up creation set on the banks of Euphrates, or a real nation after all.

India’s survival was pooh poohed (and Pakistan’s was guaranteed) by the Western elites; even today India’s secularists wonder about India’s survival with all the internal differences, and then ascribe the survival to Pandit Nehru, Ambedkar’s constitution, Congress et al.

They do not know or do not want to give credence that India was not an improbable creation of 1947; it was a continuation based on the forefathers who lived within almost the same contours for thousands and thousands of years.

As long as HT has mediocre and biased Journalists, they can say good bye to any kind of respectability. I am more confounded by how this woman is an editor?

[Reply]

though I do not know why we in the media are not able to see through the deliberate veil of confusion that is being spun by the Congress….
That’s simple. The rest of the media has not yet, totally, absolutely mortgaged their brains and suspended disbelief. When they see confusion, they call it.
When Janardan D and Diggy speak in different voices, they are hoping to confuse BJP. Of course, no one else in the country other than BJP folks are exposed to the spectacle of “I am in/ I am out”.
Smart! And it takes a brainless idiot to appreciate the special brand of Congressi smart.

Basmati Rice & Feku Modi :
——————————-

Brothers and Sisters and Mothers ! In India people love thalis. If we
Indians need to have rice atleast once a day. But I was not happy with
the quality of rice in India. In my Gujarat, we did lot of research to
improve the quality of rice. Finally we came up with a long grained
variety of rice. We called it “Basmati Rice”. My Brothers and Sisters
and Mothers ! Today Gujarat is No 1 in exporting Basmati Rice to all
over the World : Feku Modi

BiCycle & Feku Modi :
——————————-

Brothers and Sisters and Mothers ! One day I was walking down the
road. It was a long walk. I had not taken my glass of Lion milk. So I
was a little tired. Then I saw a ball rolling past me. I tried to catch
but couldn’t. Then an idea struck my mind. If I put two balls together
and a rod on them, then I can sit. The balls will roll and I can travel
faster without getting tired ! My Brothers and Sisters and Mothers ! I
hurriedly went back to my office. I called all the space scientists from
ISRO and we designed a brand new product. I am proud to say that the
“BiCycle” that you see everywhere is my invention !! : Feku Modi

Agni Missiles & Feku Modi :
——————————-

Brothers and Sisters and Mothers ! You all know how we celebrate
Diwali. In Gujarat we really go mad with fire crackers. On one
particular Diwali ( Sorry I can’t remember the year ) my nephew ( I am
married but unmarried ) came to me and asked me to help him with a
Rocket. I put the rocket in a bottle and lit a match stick. The Rocket
went up with a great speed and then boom ! ! I thought if we do same
thing in a bigger way, our country can be really safe from Pakistan and
China. I summoned Kalam and briefed him about my grand missile plan.
After few months Kalam came up with the Agni Missile plan. I must say
Kalam did a decent job. My Brothers and Sisters and Mothers ! I am proud
to inform you that Agni Missile is a 100% Gujarati idea : Feku Modi

Lijjat Pappad & Feku Modi :
——————————-

Brothers and Sisters and Mothers. One day one illiterate rustic woman
came to me for some help. I told her I like Pappad and asked her if she
could prepare pappad for me. She said ” Le Jhat se “. What she meant
was that she could give me Pappad very quickly. But that phrase ” Le
Jhat se ” stuck to my mind…. I kept on repeating ” Le Jhat se “….” Le Jhat se “….” Le Jhat se “…”Le jhat”…..”Le jat”…”Lejat”……”Lijjat”…yes “”Lijjat” !!!!! What a brand name ! My Brothers and Sisters and Mothers ! I asked her to sell
Pappad under “Lijjat Pappad” brand ! My Brothers and Sisters and
Mothers !! Can you believe ? Today Lijjat Pappad has more than 600 crore
rupees turnover ! : Feku Modi

Aeroplane & Feku Modi :
——————————-

Brothers and Sisters and Mothers. One day I was enjoying the morning
breeze in my garden. I saw a bird sitting 3′ feet away. Suddenly there
was some noise and the bird flew away. I kept on watching the bird
flying away. It was so mesmerizing to see the bird flying away into the
cloud. Suddenly I developed an urge to fly in the cloud. But how can a
man fly ? The man does not have wings ! Then I thought if one fixes two
wings then one can fly !! I SMSed my distant cousin Wright Brothers.
They left their biCycle workshop and came running to me. We discussed my
flying idea over hundreds of kg of pakodas and gallons of tea. Then
they came up with a blueprint that is tiday known as Aeroplane. My
Brothers and Sisters and Mothers ! this humble idea of aeroplane was
manufactured here in Gujarat ! : Feku Modi

Chicken & Feku Modi :

—————————–

Brothers and Sisters and Mothers ! You must have heard Punjabis love
Butter Chicken. Wherever you go in Delhi you see Punjabis chewing on
Tandoori
Chicken, Butter Chicken Chicken Tikkam Afgani Chicken….. You will be
happy to know Gujarat supplies 93.21% chickens to Delhi and Punjab. :

I have not heard of this myth. But yes, there should not be any leniencey against child sex abusers. They should be summarily and rapidly given the death sentence.

[Reply]

Nice try again Sunita AARON ! You erased all the adverse comments against your religion and dumped your stinking, low IQed brain reject onto the readers again! If at all there is any religious sanction mandating child abuse, it is with the Arabian cult you are converted to. If you study the various cases of innumerable sexual transgressions committed by the Church padres all over the globe, there appears to be a pattern and regularity to this. Besides, these church sex predators are just let off with a pat on their wrists and are not doing any time behind rhe bars for these heinous crimes. When the victims demand money and cases are reported widely in the press, your Pope starts his global tour with money bags and ready apologies. These sexual predators are then transferred to thirs world countries like India and in south america for them to continue their religious duties of abusing young children. Unfortunately, as you say, this is catching on in India with other religions too. Kudos to you though for bringing this out through your “thoughtful” blog! Hope, the Italian Christian led current dispensation will take suitable action against the CHurches in India and also urge the west to do the same!

[Reply]

myth or not. anybody found guilty of this crime, castrate him and then hang him

[Reply]

There’s no myth behind this inhuman & insane behavior. Its simply the fact that small kids are too weak to protect themselves and hence they become easy targets for the attackers. Strong laws & agonizingly painful punishments are the sole resort to deter such acts of heinous crime.

[Reply]

So many ppl dies every day, What is wrong and inhumane if we have a strict rule of hanging the culprit of rape. Decision should be taken in week time, rape with minor or sex with minor which ever accused call it. MINOR case death penalty. At least by this way we can save the child.

[Reply]

It is sad to know about such crimes being committed everyday. Taliban style of justice will be the best alternative to end such acts.
