Now this Report from London

2010-11-26T14:04:00.001+05:30

Referring BBC’s report, PTI London informed that some Muslim schools in England are teaching students how to immolate the arms and legs of the thieves’, and how to kill homosexuals. All this is being taught in these schools according to the Sharia. Further, they were being taught that the Jews wanted to dominant over the world and for this purpose they were usurping all resources of the world. There are 40 such Weekend schools, according to the report, in Britain and more than five thousand students are getting their education in these schools, they are six to eighteen years old. It is also mentioned in the report that these schools neither received any aid form the government nor situated in the government building. The Weekend schools are also exempted from the official inspections; hence the administrators of these schools prescribed such type of curriculum which is prohibited in the government schools. Similarly, telling something or writing against Jews in England is also prohibited. But these schools are imparting anti Jews knowledge to their students. (Hindustan Times, Lucknow 23 November) According to PTI in England there is chaos on this report of BBC.

BBC and PTI
As the news has given by a reporter of the Press Trust of India so it cannot be trusted. The reporters of this Indian news agency who are deployed in other countries, usually used to spread sensational news, it is their habit to add color to the news and to presents the events disproportionately. Various examples of such type are safe and sound. Those who watched or heard BBC’s report only they can tell out what and in which manner has the report been presented. However, its report will not be without an aim. Obviously, this report seems to be a part of USA’s campaign on ‘American war on Terrorism’ which is propagating against Islam and its followers in America and Europe in particular and the entire world in general. The only difference is that BBC performs this deed absolutely in a shrewd and soft manner. It works insightfully so as to convey its message to its readers and listeners and its “indifference” could not be affected. Whereas the Indian reporters and journalists do this work quite in a coarse manner, they take efforts to achieve their motive in haste. The easiness for them is that usually the Indian listeners and readers were ready to believe on their reports.

Also present this side of the scenario
Regarding this report of BBC one thing is to be stated here is that the citizens of England should assess and see what the reality is, and then update about it to BBC. The second thing here to state to BBC is that, it has showed to its readers and listeners that what is being taught in the Weekend schools of England, now BBC should present a survey report on what is being taught in the schools of Jews and Christians about Islam and Muslims. It is the technique of teachers and lectures that they used on their students and they impart the knowledge in such a manner about Islam and Muslims that the students could coercively realize Islam as a terror religion and Muslims as terrorist. These things will be available very less in the formal curricula but BCC should detect by sending its detective reporters, that in their oral lectures what did these teachers teach their students about Islam and Muslims. And then, BBC should present this survey report as it is to their readers and listeners for maintaining its credence of indifference. No reporter of PTI will dare to give the news of this survey report but through the other channels these facts will be come to the world. People who love justice will see the reality of the lessons which were taught in the Weekend Schools of England compare to the venom instilled in the minds of the students against Islam in the schools of Jews and Christians.

On the Goa beach

2010-02-07T17:48:00.000+05:30

Deputy Director of the tourism department of Goa state Ms Pamela Masker strongly believes that in the tourism beach of the state, whatever sexual assaults were made to the women, those women themselves were responsible for that. They invite this trouble themselves by their own behaviour. Ms Pamela also said in a tourism fair in Delhi on 29th of Jan. that soon there will be ban on the use of bikini for women on the beach. Because seeing women in this dress, feelings of men arouse and these sexual assaults happen. Ms Pamela wants that women dress well so that they be safe from the bad eyes. If they are semi-nude everyone give a bad eye. (Mail Today 31st Jan). This statement of a Lady official of Goa came with regards to an incident in which some one did sexual assault on a Russian girl. There was a huge cry over that. Before this, in December a member of parliament from Goa Shanta Ram too expressed the same views when a Tourist woman complained that a man living with her did sexual assault on her. M.P. had said that this type of treatment is natural with a woman who keep wandering around till late night.

Motives of this hue and cry ?
These opinions of Goa MP and a Lady officer are realistic and unbiased, but it is unacceptable to the society as a whole. Thus, the outcry over that started from different corners. Women’s rights organizations, Freedom of likes and dislikes advocates, and off track media workers, everybody was shouting that this is old-fashioned thinking. But the mostly hurt is the business of the vulgarity. Centre and state departments of tourism are concerned that if foreign tourists are restricted for nudity, then the tourism business will be lapsed. State income will be lowered because tourism is the biggest source of income for the state, which is there because of the beach. But this business can not run without giving freedom to the foreign culture. And that is how the matter is clear. Required is the monitory benefit, let it be at any cost. The exact same thing is said about the Umm-Ul Qabaith (liquor) also. That, if that is banned then a large portion of the centre and state income will be decreased. No matter how many deaths as a result happen, how many accidents take place, how many homes are ruined, generations and generations are spoiled.

Where are the patriotics?
It is said this country is a Dharm Pradahan Desh. Its entire history is full of highly moral values and character. Very long tales are found in the old mythology about it. Which is even discussed on TV channels today. Upadesh of doing good and avoiding bad are still heard everyday. More important is that a very strong movement is there based on this traditional character , civilization and patriotism. Which has hundreds of secondary institutions. They are advocates of these traditions. But it is not seen that they did any effective campaigning for these disastrous immoral evils. Sometimes just being shy something is told and heared but from inside there is no sense of it. That is may be because this patriotic movement is run by the huge donations of very big capitalists, industrialists and foreign donations. And among them are even those investors who do the business of this vulgarity and Paap Janani. These are the patriotics who raise their voice over the outcry of Europe and America against muslim woman’s veil but welcome the western vulgarity in their own country and defend it. Goa Lady Pamela and M.P. Shanta ram should be reminded towards this too.

Paid news debate

2010-01-28T10:42:00.000+05:30

Editors guild of India wants that Election commission take strong action against those editors and reporters who publish the advertisements as news by taking money from leaders. Try to make the situation in their favour and publish the articles in their favour in such a way that the readers understand them like unaligned analysis and read. Likewise action be taken against those leaders too who make editors and reporters to publish “news” in their favour by giving them money. This debate in few newspapers started against “paid news” after previous elections of Maharashtra assembly. During the election campaign several Marathi newspapers published big but false reports in favour of the candidates by taking huge amounts of money from them. This debate English daily “The Hindu” started whose reporter P. Sainath presented the review of those newspapers whom candidates paid huge amounts of money to do their publicity and newspapers published their advertisements in the form of news.

Two aspects not understandable
Debate against paid news, i.e. news publishing for compensation is a healthy sign for the Indian politics. But from two aspects this debate is not understandable. 1. Election commission, Editors guild, some analysts and reporters took notice of paid news in such a way as if it is any unusual thing. Whereas the fact is that the publishing and influence to publish the advertising stuff as news is the old tradition here. This thing is not just limited to the political leaders and ministers only, trading companies do the same thing. 2. Debate is just limited upto the net payment. Where as there are many forms of the compensation. Very obvious form is bribe, it has many types. Gifts to journalists, cars, luxury stuff is a common thing. In this act even the state governments are involved. Plots, and flats allotment, journey facilities, editors and reporters force involvement in government foreign countries tours etc. This thing not only so called newspapers fake editors only do, but also the editors and reporters of big big newspapers too. Trading companies and business houses who publish the big news papers, issuing import and export licenses to them, land allotments, and tax exemption what is all this and what for.?

And this devil’s act ?
One more brutal and devil’s act, which concerned those on “paid news” do not look at, is the campaigning of media against religious communities. Participation of Indian media in American propaganda against Islam and Muslim ummah is without any benefit? It is true that any opportunity to defame muslims and Islam this
media does not loose, as those working in media have their own mentality, their narrow mindedness, personal dishonesty, which does not get them any compensation from anywhere; but when over very minor issues police arrest muslim youth without any proof or kill them then police and secret agencies stories media doesn’t spread just like that, but collects the compensation in one or the other form. And this daily “The Hindu” which is claiming to be fair in “paid news” matter, itself is involved in dishonesty. One it’s reporter, who claims himself “muslim terrorism” expert, presents secret agencies dubious “information” against muslim youth and fabricated groups as it is, showing as his own reports. Is editors guild or press council ever got concerned over this ? Is this any less evil than the paid news ?

When Nehru was the prime minister

2010-01-22T10:46:00.000+05:30

When Pandit Nehru was the prime minister, he advised Indian consulates and high commissions not to use liquor in the celebrations relating to country’s national days like Independence day and republic day. Many consulates over this wrote to the prime minister that local guests can not participate if this thing is not served as part of the hospitality. Pandit Nehru immediately replied that “If this is the only thing attracting people in the national day celebration then better not to host national celebrations”. – V.Krishna Iyer mentioned about this in his recent article which is all about the evil of liquor and its harmful implications. Justice Iyer is country’s distinguished lawyer. Since the retirement from law practice, he is expressing his opinion over political, social and human rights issues. In this article of his) The Hindu / 12th Jan) he held the government responsible for the rise in the liquor usage and its bad implications, which does the business of this profane just for income. Government always remains under the pressure of the powerful lobby of this business.

Good symbol for moral well being
It is wishful that the readers of the Newspaper enthusiastically welcomed the thoughts of Justice Iyer and completely agreed and supported him as it is evident from the publishing of 13th January’s letters. All wish that there should be complete ban on this. This thought also came to light that just ban is not enough; public opinion should also be awakened for this. In case of just ban, situation of the problem worsens more. Feelings of Justice Iyer and his supporters about ‘ummul-qabais’ (basis of evil) are the good symptom for the moral well being of the country. Condemning and opposing this ‘paapjanani’ (evil creator) was part of the freedom movement of which the leadership was held by Gandhi Ji himself. That is why there was a hope that in Independent India there will be efforts of its complete eradication, but actually it happened quite opposite, the government itself promoted it on a large scale by doing its business. Nothing heared of people like Murarji Desai who used to see thousand times more harm than the monitory benefit to the government, Justice Iyer also mentioned about that. Now the situation is such that it has become the biggest source of income for many of the state governments.

What should be the spirit of awareness
Much has been said about this social evil and even now it is being said. Voices for social reform continuously raised, but no result. It is very true that just by law this cancer can not be cured. Because the law protectors themselves are seen addict to this evil. They collect money from the businessmen at all levels. The saying of public awakening is also true. But still the question is that “what should be the spirit of awakening which not only make people aware of its harmful implications in this life but also give the sense of the punishment after this life which will be as a result of this habit and its trade. Devastation of families, social damage, killing and burglary, and accidental deaths all sin will be on their heads and they will get punishment for that. In country’s law and order or the traditions here this spirit is not seen. This thing only exist to is fullest in Islamic teachings. If Justice Krishna Iyer and responsible individuals alike are reminded towards this side then it will be a big service for this country and people here. If it is discussed with reference to the law making and practice over that then example of Saudi Arabia and Iran can be given.

This remark says a lot

2010-01-19T11:35:00.000+05:30

Central interior minister P.Chidambaram clarified his statement that “cold war is over but in the form of jihad a new war started.” But this remark of his is very meaningful from many aspects and saying much more about the politics and mentality here. Home minister just did not pass this remark like that , he told this by knowing and thinking very much on 23rd Dec delivering a lecture in an important meeting of secret service agencies officials. “Cold war is over but in the form of jihad a new war started. Jihad is being exploited by terrorism for achieving its goals and victims of that are the innocent people.” For sake of it , it can be said that this is the result of the lack of awareness of P.Chidambaram about term jihad and its meaning, which P.Chidamabaram also realized. That is why when the leader of Tamil Muslim Munitrakazgam Dr H.M.Jawaharullah reminded to home minister by a letter and informed him the true meaning of jihad, he immediately accepted and clarified in a statement that he did not intend to hurt muslims feelings and also that this word is in use in these meanings and that is why he used it.

Thing is not that simple
But this thing is not that simple. This remark of home minister is actually the echo of that announcement which twenty years ago at the end of cold war means fall of Soviet Union America made. That announcement echo spread all over the Christian and western world immediately. Thus in Australia when there was a celebration of victory over communist enemy in the central church, the chief pontiff told warning the audience that “ Celebrate over Soviet Union’s defeat , however remember that only one enemy is defeated and there is one more enemy left and that is more stronger than this and that is Islam. “ Then to create a reason for war against muslim ummah and Islam when America and Israel did stage the drama of 11 Sep. then President of America Bush Junior created the name of alqaeda as a representative of Islam and announced that this will be a long war and will continue for long time. At one point bush even called it crusade. Not only that, President of America clearly told that “ In this war you are either with us or against us.” Means countries who will not be with America will be considered its opponents. After that only countries as per their own benefit started changing their stand.

Use this opportunity
Thus there is a strong base to believe that whatever Chidambaram told infornt of secret agencies officials, he said consciously. And told as per American thinking. Chidamabram himself is very close to America and is the home minster of that government which has the close relation with America and Israel, and is actively an ally of ‘war on terror’ of America. Defaming campaign of the word Jihad is an important strategy of this war. But as a good will if assumed that Mr Chidambaram did not say this consciously but just said as a word being commonly used like he said in clarification statement, then this a very positive thing and provides the opportunity that a group of muslim scholars meet home minister and clarify the word jihad and other Islamic terms, and also show that defaming jihad campaign is run from where and for what. Request that government of India or atleast your ministry should not be part of it. For explaining jihad term there are books which can be presented to home minister along with other Islamic literature as a gift. Muslim scholars from state of tamilnadu should meet Nr Chidambaram for sure.

Swine flu – and new research

2010-01-13T14:24:00.000+05:30

What is swine flu. This is a H1N1 virus which appears in the form of light fever, cough, vomiting, soarthroat, flu, joints pain and stiff neck. Lat year this started from America, and passing different countries soon it reached our country too and by this time caused 952 people’s death. Including India in the whole world 11516 people died with it. As per the information this decease is spreading very fast and medical scientists are worried because of that. By seeing it appears that after industrial revolution and the rise of western culture whatever new and complicated deceases attacked the humankind, this swine flu is the recent one. Indian doctors too are in search of its reasons but nothing is being understood. Now after getting frustrated with their failure a group of doctors expressed the opinion that it could be bioterrorism means the viral terrorism and terrorists made this virus to spread terror in the world.(Amar Ujala 19th Jan) JK Science Journal of Medical Education and Research doctors say that a common virus can not spread that fast. This new virus goal is kill one and terrorize tens of thousands. Doctors also say that in our country to fight this type of “terrorism” there is not much preparation.

New tactic of exploiting forces
The way America had raged the war against “global terrorism” this had made the solution of some complicated problems very easy. In the entire world doing terror dramas a particular ideology of life and its followers are being defamed and apart from that showed a way to the world that when there is no solution to any problem or any disaster to humankind happen then just say that terrorists are behind that. It should be applauded of those forces cleverness who want to control the world finding new and effective ways. By creating hoax of international terrorism scaring people of the world is america’s new tactic. After the fall of soviet union according to the Zionist plan Americans planned to bring the entire world under their influence. For this they needed a new enemy which was there in the form of very strong ideology of life. And this new enemy was in fact was a big threat as it had the skill of overthrowing the unabashed culture and exploiting economic system. And also that it has the manpower too. And is rich in natural resources in few countries. Thus exploiters started a campaign of calling this ideology of life a “encouraging terrorism ideology” and its followers as terrorist, a planned and powerful campaign.

The hint of the debate is obvious
Though Indian doctors did not show the identity of swine flu terrorists, neither manmohan singh clarified this terrorism which in his opinion created by the religious extremism and due to the terror ideologies, when he warned about this danger to the speakers of the commonwealth legislatures on 6th January. But doctors and manmohan singh both are confident that those who need to understand already understood what they mean. This wave of propaganda is such strong that now when terrorists or terrorism word immediately make people think that what these words mean. Just another news of a software in America has come which immediately after a terror accident can prepare the sketches of the terrorists. Few newspapers giving this news published a sketch of a bearded and topi man on the monitor of a computer. Means the situation is going as per their expectation those who want to establish their rule with the help of lie, deceiving, cheating and with the cruelty and unkindness. Those humans who are being influenced by these have their own benefits by it, but those humans who are target of this all, why there seems not any noticeable effort?

Verdicts to Policemen

2010-01-10T14:22:00.000+05:30

On 4th Jan there were many news reports about Police department and its higher officials, details of which were there in 5th Jan Newspapers. 1). Central government decided to take the police medal of best performance from former DGP of Haryana S.P.SRathur. Rathur was found guilty of abusing a sixteen year old girl named Ruchika sixteen years ago. Ruchika committed suicide. Government also decided to make such a rule as in future if any police man found guilty in any case, his award be invalid by itself. 2) After this decision possibility of loosing the medal by one more IPS officer’s is there as well, who was suspended after being found guilty in Shivani Bhatnagar’s murder. The same can happen with K.P.S Gill , former DGP of Punjab. Gill was found guilty of misbehaving with a lady IAS officer in a function. 3) Punjab and Haryana high court gave the ruling that including higher police officials all those higher officials and individuals , against whom there are cases registered, be tried in fast track courts. Court called the Ruchika case a best example of “delay in justice is injustice.” 4) Additional session judge of Sonbhadr district of UP gave the verdict against those 14 policemen who were accused of killing two youngmen in a fake encounter. Among them five were sentenced to life in prison and nine were declared guilty.

Reminding one event
This is not any new image of Indian police. These news reports just reminded its character. Because of this reminder a recent incident is been recalled. On 19th sep 2008 in south Delhi Batla house colony, Delhi police did encounter of two young men. In the incident one police Inspector too died. Human Rights groups were raising questions over this encounter. Delhi high court asked the National human rights commission to enquire the incident and present a report. Commission prepared a report which was the copy of the story told by police. Delhi high court observed the report and declared it right. Report was challenged in Supreme court, but Supreme court too confirmed the report. There was nothing special till here. The special was the mention which supreme court bench did expressing its opinion over the report. Bench had said: “Criticism on the role of police is incorrect in batla house matter. No questions should be raised over police character. Police morale will be lowered by this.” Details which came in media about the supreme court ruling , make it obvious that it is more concerned of the morale of police. Petitioner failed to present the seriousness of the actual matter to the court.

This is an obvious double standard
But the recent news reports show that the citizen’s esteem and regard and life and possessions are more important. Here there is no concern of the morale of police. Concern is to correct policemen by punishing them. In Mumbai three police officials are suspended for attending and enjoying a mafia don’s treat. In few other cases police is being held tough. This double standard over the role of the police can obviously be noted. That is in common law and order matters police is really accountable. Any legal action can be taken against police. No matter even if the morale of the police be lowered, but in the name of combating “terrorism” whatever the police do, do anyone’s encounter, arrest anyone and put in jail, ruin any family’s esteem and regard, cause decharecterization of any community, nothing can be said to them. Police force becomes the “holy cow” in this case. Raising voice against its role is making its morale low, moreover it is against the “patriotism”. And irony is that this injustice is considered the “rashtrawad”. Is not any group there which can tell the political authorities that this behaviour is not at all in favour of the country, apparently it can take the country towards the failure.

What happened to that Camera?

2009-12-25T22:05:00.000+05:30

For long it has been heared that such a camera is being invented which can take snaps of the events of past as where a while ago what happened, who were present, who was doing what. It will record the voice as well. Recording of past voices news were coming even before that. Once there was a news that speeches of Gandhi ji and other leaders speeches during the freedom fight are being recovered as voice recording. The murder event of Gandhi ji is being picturized and voice recorded both. About camera it was said that few seconds before or some time earlier events recording camera is already invented. Now it is being tried to increase its capacity so that the pictures can be taken for some more time in past. If this thing succeeds then hearing past centuries voices and seeing pictures could be possible. But later on no news of such cameras and recording has come. Where as in this era of telecommincation technology the possibilities of this invention have become more. This camera and recording should have been invented and should have become common.

If this camera could have been invented.
The mind repeatedly goes towards this unusual camera because now a days the world is very concerned with the incidents of terrorism. Whenever any thing happens according to its severity over its inquiry and investigation governments spends a lot of money and time. People too get worried. By investigation agencies and media reports very strange and interesting things are found to read and listen to. More over if the current situation is beneficial to any one, that is the media , whose entire business is run over the stories full of suspense. But for common people the invention of this camera has become indispensable. Like if this camera and voice recorder would have existed, then on 11th sep 2001 what ever happened in America and for the preperation of that what ever happened that could come infornt of the world. The same way last year on 10th sep what happened in batla house colony of delhi, after that on 26th nov what happened in Mumbai and how it took place, world could know. Ten guys crossing the sea how landed on the coast, then with the ammunition and comfortably entered the five star hotels and how killed the people, every scene could come to light and to catch the criminals and to held anybody responsible , it could be much easy for the government.

One this idea strikes too.
One this idea comes to mind that this sort of camera is not let to be invented or if it had been invented then the imperialistic powers blocked this technology so that the loot and plunder, killing and spoilage, terrorism and exploitation by them and its facts do not come in light. What stories America had told the world about 11th sep, these cameras could have brought the reality out. Israeli terrorism and its monstrous plans could come infront of the world and also in any country whatever is happening in the name of war on terror, would not have happened, justice could be there, but alas this camera had remained just a dream. By the way human world should not be downhearted. Just this belief is required that there is a real, true and creative power exists and is watching all of this, one day entire human kind has to face to that. Devine nature’s camera is picturising each and every act of humans, who ever and whatever did everything would come infront, and that day is not far. It is coincidence that the ummah which is the target of the situation today, has this belief. Now it just is required to make this belief stronger and fulfill its compulsions.

Answer of a question

2009-12-22T11:26:00.000+05:30

Do the circumstances and environment have any role in women’s abuse ? Is not any stimulus there which encourages criminals for the crime ? Is not in any manner the woman responsible for that ? – The answer for this question will be negative if searched in the light of the discussion which is going on in the parliament and the media after the abuse of a Russian woman in Goa. That is woman is not responsible in any case in anyway, she is completely innocent and guiltless, thus her behaviour should not be discussed. The reason for this discussion is that in a tourist place of Goa a local resident is accused of sexually harassing a Russian woman and escaped. There was a huge storm in media over that and women organizations too became active, issue was raised in the parliament as well. On 15th December a member of Congress Shanta Ram has just said that “Women too should be careful in their behaviour, hanging around with unconcerned men, being with them till late night, then making a big noise over any dispute with them is not fair.” Over this the outburst became more aggressive and it was accused that the abuse of women is being justified.

This mentality was there earlier too
This mind was there in the country earlier too that, say nothing to women no matter how they live out, adopt any kind of behaviour, whatever is there style of living in the market, offices, factories, colleges, night clubs, in the wedding functions, where ever they like they can go, what ever dress they want they wear, get out of homes in whatever fashion they like, go out with any one they like, live with them, talk to them. Do not advice them, those who advise should be considered backward, old fashioned and retrospective. But as a result of this behaviour if any thing like maltreatment happens to them, then this has to be declared as a heinous crime and all responsibility be put on the accused. But after the rising storm of globalization and feminism (feminist movement) this mind came out some what more openly. People say that the bad individuals are just bad, they do not have any impact of the surrounding environment, they do not see anything, more over it is even claimed that there is no link of their crimes with the women behaviour and their life style. This mentality is part of the western culture where this thing is not much offensive. That is why after the arrival of western imperialism these scenes have been noticeable on our land too.

What is the old tradition of the country
Once a responsible police officer of Delhi in a similar case just said that girls and women too have to be careful in their dressing and behaviour, then there was a big outburst against him too. The question is, if this is the culture of this country and its people ? Never. Modesty and shyness, obscuring with respect to elders of the family, outside of the homes too showing well manners, are the old tradition of this country. Reminding women and girls over their mistakes has been the way here. No one did ever mind it here, but now it looks bad. Now the outbreak of western feminism has convinced the Indians to accept every evil as a good. In this entire discussion the voice of farsightedness is not coming from anywhere, all just excitement and that is it. More over the puppet of corporate sector, media, is further stimulating this fire. Is not there any circle in the country which can make this thing an issue to debate that what actually the civilization of this country is. For this , traditional shyness and modesty is necessary or the shamelessness derived from west.? Those who feel pride in their regional culture should also take notice of it.

Religion, in an able Judge’s view

2009-12-19T11:48:00.000+05:30

Justice S.H.Kapadia thinks that issue of poverty and economy is the actual issue and to resolve it, it is mandatory that the Religion be kept only inside the home, “Because this is human’s private matter.” Justice kapadia is a senior judge of supreme court and next year after retirement of the present chief justice, will take his place. This view he expressed on 10th December in an event organized in connection with the “Human rights day” in which almost all senior lawyer were present. Many important personalities were there. This remark of kapadia about religion has nothing new because this concept is derived from west and adopted as a fashion. Otherwise this cocept is of those who are not sincere about religion. But what Justice had told further in this regard is very meaningful, “If any religion is based on fear, greed and desire, heaven and hell and the concepts alike then some individuals or groups finally exploit these beliefs and as a result this thing make people tend towards terrorism.” (Indian Express 11th Dec) Vice President Mohammed Hamid Ansari was present there too in the function.

These gossip about Religion
These gossip about religion if come from any semi educated political leader or if any communist group say that then they could not have been so considerable but these thoughts such a person expressed who is an educated and a senior Judge of the supreme court, going to be the Chief justice of the country in few months. We do not know how much justice kapadia had thought on the existence of the God and how many religions he studied but what reward and punishment and glad tidings and threats and such beliefs he mentioned, that makes it obvious that he meant it about a particular religion, which he studied as per his perception and angle of view. And this thought is the shade of that campaign which, a circle of special thoughts launched that not any such religion be let grow which holds these beliefs. This evil act is also seen relating to the conversion of the religion and to make some law for that and its echo some times even be heared at the level of state governments too. Once a central institution NCERT’S Information magazine too had run this campaign.

What the awards and verdicts are
The topic of the debate could also be that in our country on the higher level what type of thoughts are growing, in the changed international situation what is the status of the knowledge and honesty. But for now apart from this discussion it needs to be seen as if the concept of reward and punishment for human actions are such dangerous then what would be said about the Judicial and penal code of the country, in which punishment is set according to the nature of crime. Also in military, police and in other services, better performance is acknowledged by awards and rewards. It should be like, the humans should differentiate between good and bad. Do good deeds and avoid bad. But practically it is not so, that is why in all countries there are punishments for crimes, fear of which generally keeps the citizen away from crimes. But those who break laws still do that. Criminal guys do commit crimes. That is because of the fact that a law made by humans neither can keep humans from committing crimes, nor can punish the criminals for sure. And the government awards matter is as such that few clever individuals by doing wrong and even breaking law get awards. At this point human society feels the necessity of a true religion and its code of life. How good it would be if a group of representing muslim scholars meet Justice kapadia and discuss this issue.

Supreme Court and Varn Vyavastha

2009-12-13T15:06:00.000+05:30

Supreme Court that is the highest court wants that the central government immediately make some efforts to eliminate hindu varn vyavastha. For the court, this is very sad that the cast and creed system is continued even today under which events of cruelty against the lower casts take place, thus this system has to be completely eradicated. Supreme court’s two able Judges bench comprising Justice Dalveer bhandari and Justice A.K.Patnayek, gave this advise to the government giving the verdict in a 30 years old case. In 1979 in lohari village of hussain ganj town, U.P. people of thakur community killed 7 dalits. Court gave the verdict as life in prison for six thakurs. Two among them died. Four alive offenders are asked to appear infront of the cops. Able Judges say that for the rule of law and democracy it is mandatory that the centuries old system as soon as possible be eliminated so that so called higher casts could not behave cruel towards so called lower casts. Judges think that this event of lohari demands that varn vyavastha should end.

Ther are many things to be considered
In this ruling of the ablejudges there are many things to be considered. “Lower” casts face cruel events continuously. Cases come in the courts too, but it could not be recalled as supreme court attacked the cast system itself in the ruling in any case. This is perhaps the first time that the supreme court took notice of this act in this way. But this advise of the able judges looks some strange. Do they hope that government will act on their advise. And even if acts, then this thousands of years old tradition which is fed into the minds of the people here as such that this has become their belief, will really be eliminated.? Do Judges are aware of the small but very powerful and strong faction that is dominant over almost all the aspects of the collective life of this country, and wants to keep this system anyway at any cost. By softness and by harshness too. This reservation in the jobs for dalits, this campaigning against religious minorities, promoting communal hatred, and these riots, are the strategy to keep this system going so that “lower” factions do not move from their state.

Make this the topic to debate
But no, the judges of supreme court can’t be unaware of these facts. Surely they are aware and are better aware than others. And they also know that the fall of this system is not easy, it is very difficult. And also that their advise is of no use. But after all that if they gave this remark, this expresses their mental pain which is caused because of this cruel system. And this is a satisfactory thing for all humans who are victims of this system or those who are human friendly or think the entire humanity as a creature of one god and his family. Able Judges expressed their inside by urging or advising the government. Now it is required that intellectual people of the country make it a topic to debate. This debate be started countrywide that this system of differentiating as high and low by birth, how rational and how irrational it is. Supporters of this system give their evidences and the opponents decline them. What and how much will be the effect of the two honourable Judges advise on the government, this is hard to say but this advise has provided an opportunity for a countrywide debate.

What the Union minister has said

2009-12-10T13:35:00.000+05:30

“ India, in near future should not proclaim for organizing the Olympic games, because this is a poor country. We would successfully organize the common wealth games but that does not mean that we can even organize the Olympic games. This is very expensive thing. China spent fifty arawb rupees on organizing of Olympic games, can we spend such a huge amount. By looking at this country’s poverty and problems of the cities I don’t think that we should think of organizing Olympic games right now.” Union Sports minister M.S.Gill gave this unusual statement in rajya sabha on 25th November whem members expressed their view that if we would organize common wealth games successfully then we should claim to host the 2020 olympic games as well. This statement is unusual because the government, ruling front, and opposition BJP nobody is ready to accept that India is any poor country. Times of India (26th Nov) reporter was surprised that Union minister said poor country to India . If Gill could just stop by saying that right now our country is not in a position to host the Olympic games then it might not have been any objectionable thing but going further he said it is poor country and that too giving the statement formally in the parliament.

When Preime minister was in White House
But the most interesting factor of the union minister’s statement is that he called the country poor in such a movement and mentioned about the poverty and problems when our Prime minister was in America and he was being received as a leader of the “rising economic power’ and ‘world power’ , American president was hosting him like an equal super power, and the force of editors and reporters who went with him were decorating this welcome adding four moons more with their reports and analysis. 25th overnight, TV channels were making a hue and 26th newspapers, in which somewhere M.S.Gill statement was also there, were full of this welcoming news. During that time inside the parliament showing the country as poor is really shameful. By this, atleast those have become angry who like to host Olympic games, those might be upset as well who were getting out of the bottle with excitement watching America calling India a ‘world power’. This innocent and positive wishing people did not even come out of the anger, that they were slammed with another hit when rural development minister of state pradeep jain aditya told lok sabha on 30th November that 77% of the country’s population that is about 84 crore people are making their living earning less than twenty (20) rupees per day.

What is there behind this craze
About the economic situation of the country M.S.Gill spoke truth because he is not any politician, he is public service guy, he was chief election commissioner. And the minster of state had to speak truth because these numbers and statistics are presented by a committee of experts. This is the situation of the poverty in the country but our Government and two biggest political parties are dreaming about making it a ‘world power’ with the help of America. There is large population on the earth which is lacking the clean water to drink but these people are searching water on the moon by spending arawbs of rupees. In this craze this question is cleverly being covered as in south asia particularly in our country what is America’s agenda. Why it is pating the back of our politicians and by raising a hoax of imaginary global terrorism, for what goal we are being used. Present government’s policy makers and BJP agenda is very clear that they want to increase the well being and wealth of only one faction of our country. But few among the thinkers and realistic scholars of country can not rise so as to bring the government here and politicians out of this imaginary world and assumptions and convince them to work for the 85% citizen of our country. ?

Question of English Daily

2009-12-07T11:24:00.000+05:30

“Will Liberahan commision’s report be helpful in giving a new life to BJP ? ”. This question Indian Express posed to its readers who use internet. If any media reporter of a developed country of west or Asia who just came newly here, if read this question then he might have felt very strange. With this report what that party can be benefited whose top leaders had been accused of a big law breaking event, who are accused of bringing the country to the edge of communalism, it was said about them as they have exploited the emotional people for their political gains. After such heinous accusations by a law commission there could be more difficulties for the party and its leaders. The type of question itself shows that party is already in bad situation and it needs oxygen. And question says that this report is going to be proved as oxygen to the party? A new comer foreign media reporter might have been surprised over this question. Because in the developed countries these accusations are enough for any party to break down and be defeated.

This is what happens here
But this could be felt by only newcomer. Those reporters and analysts who are living here for long time now, and who might have studied the structural elements of the politics here, would have well understood the nature of the question. Because this is what happens here. Breaking law, destruction, killing and looting, and the game of blood and fire to take political advantage is not any strange here. That party is proved itself to be expert, the question is posed about. Moreover that party have grown and survived just by these law breaking and destructive slogans. Publishing of Librahan commission report not just in its workers and supporters but also in its high profile leaders, could have created a wave of cheerfulness, which had been seen in both the houses of parliament on 24th of November. Pleasure over the fact that atlast the devastated party had got some food for the new life. Also as this political group has many languages, over the same matter a different language in the parliament, some different language in the courts, and then an entirely different language infornt of the people. Experts of the wording game can be found in a large number in this party.

One more question
Few analysts might be thinking that if this political faction is such a dare in breaking law then why would people be supporting it ? Funny thing is that they get the support as well from a portion of people. That is because of the fact that this is the result of the people’s brain washing for long time. Resposnible nations and countries train their people over the constructive fronts. Here they are made dishonest, overstating and overmuch in a destructive way. This thing is done in educational institutions by syllabus books. Historical facts are shattered, continuously propaganda is done against the religious minorities. The biggest weapon is patriotism and Rashtrawad. The stroke of which even many big journalists, political analysts, historians and experts too can not withstand and start following their trend. Few because of their own mindset and few because of the fear of so called fake patrioctics. Newcomer foreign reporter might have been surprised more by seeing next day reply by the readers as 66% positive, that is two third of the readers give their opinion as BJP will be benefited by Liberahan commission’s report publishing. And thus the structural elements of the politics of this country can be an interesting topic for the developed countries.

“Attack” on media

2009-12-04T12:52:00.000+05:30

Countrywide emotional and sensitive situation which was created over the statement of Sachin Tendulkar and the harsh comments of bal thackrey on that, was not even calmed down, the shiv sena party workers made their party and their leader again the target of countrywide anger and grief by attacking a TV channel’s office. These attacks were on IBN 7 and IBN Lok Mat centres on Nov 20^th in Mumbai and Pune. Shiv seniks in their traditional way aggressively caused big damage and destroyed tools and stuff. They have beaten staff, scolded them, abused women staff. They had a complain that these two channels were using inappropriate language against their leader bal thackrey continuously since many days. The rowdiness was so brutal that condemning started from all over the country immediately after the news spread about it. The outrage of media was specially worth watching. Shiv sena ally BJP too expressed grief over the events. Moreover Raj Thackrey sena too condemned this violence. Condemning from other political parties too is continued. Bala sahib thackrey is being criticized, in media he is being scrutinized in such a words which never ever had been used for him before.

They do not have right to make noise

This anger against thackreys and shiv senas is valid as their talk and action is as such, but atleast one faction has no right to cry over that and that faction is media. That is because they are the one who make thackreys. And that thing media people do as per their unwritten but agreed upon rule that “Give publicity to those who are emotional, aggressive and give statements based on the hate and hatred and spread their statements where as ignore those who talk sincere and constructive and talk about mutual relations, do not give much importance to them.” 45 years ago when bala sahib thackrey started his politics in mumbai with the statements against south Indian people residing in Mumbai, then Maharashtra ’s marathi and and gujrati press tossed it up very much. Newspaper reporters used to always surround thackrey, each and every word uttered irresponsibly used to be reported, long interviews of thackrey used to be published. When thackrey turned towards muslims in the name of hindutva then this thing became four times over. Then the English press and south Indian regional language newspapers also started publishing in the same chorus and then the south Indians in mumbai took a bit relaxed breath.

Message to the destructive elements

Newspaper by adopting this behaviour indirectly sent a message to the destructive and evil minded elements that speaking with hate and hatred against any group or community is the easiest and best way of gaining popularity. By this an individual not only just gets popular and important but also the government and law get scared to him. Police too fear getting on him. Because the destructive and provoked crowd is his strength and just by an appeal he can gather a crowd. And comes into the position of igniting the fire and blood and the killing and looting business just by one statement. Along with bal and raj thackrey, many other evil leaders newspapers have created in different parts of the country. Then when TV channels along with the newspapers came into this field, they just changed the style of reporting completely. Made this profession completely corrupt. Linguistic, Regional, Cultural, Religious and Communal feelings are being exploited, and that is how today country’s media had become a social evil. But when the dishonest owners, editors and reporters started this all, they never ever have imagined that their own created elements can turn towards them one day. And now when they turned, now these guys are making noise which they have no moral right for. Why not it should be told to them that this is all your deed, now taste it. ?

Adress to Ram Jeth Malani

2009-11-28T18:45:00.000+05:30

What did you say that “ For global terrorism wahabi sect is responsible as it, by filling the poison in the minds of muslim youth, lead them to the way of terrorism.” It is true that on 21st November conference in Vigyan havan of Delhi where you spoke, that was international conference of judges over terrorism, you were supposed to say something over this topic. But if you say, you could have said something responsibly and something of your standard. Whatever political inclination you got, you are known as an outspoken and straight forward speaking legal expert, and by that aspect we value you. Taking your profession you do not even care about your own political circle. It should be remembered that when in 1996 BJP’s first government was formed for 13 days and you were made its Law Minister, then in one statement by clearly ruling out the concept of uniform civil code you had said that “This is not practical.” Even after that your fair speaking came forward over few matters. But by declaring Shaik Abdul Wahab of seventeenth century as a bad man , and by holding him responsible for todays terrorism you proved to be irresponsible, uninformed and lacking awareness. Atleast from you this bizarrelyness was not expected.

What that was expected from you
Over the consistency of your image for the straightforwardness, it was expected from you that you raise the question over the reality of international terrorism, show the conference that whatever events are taking place in the name of terrorism many of them are the government dramas and in some countries few silly and anti muslim circles themselves are doing terror activites to defame Islam. If in the world anywhere, really violent activites are taking place then there are reasons behind them. Only you could dare to speak about the reasons. Because in such conferences and statements this aspect is cleverly overshadowed and whoever talks about reasons he is labeled as the supporter of terrorism. But it is the pity that you did not say anything as such and together with everyone else played the same tape which is being played since eight years continuously around the world. You claim that including Islam you are a student of all religions and respect Islam but with this statement it seems that you did not even learned the first lesson of Islam. By this ruthless statement your value is lessened in the hearts of those circles who used to think you are not only informed and aware but also brave and fair spoken.

A benefit surely was there
But one benefit surely is there with your statement. You unconsciously pointed out the goal and target of this two days international conference which the organizers and most of its delegates were expressing only in signals and gestures. To any informed citizen there is no doubt in it as this conference was the continuation of the same campaign which is launched by America worldwide to defame a particular religion and its followers. Behind the conferences of this type American and jewish lobby stands actively. Since in this matter our country too has become ally of America, that is why our government is showing some extra enthusiasm. Though by entire program of this conference the goals and targets were obvious but by your statement its aim can be clear for those protectionists of ummah who want to keep their eyes closed from the trend of events and situation. They can also understand that your statement is the echo of the silliness of that circle which is trying to devide muslims in wahabi and non wahabi sects. At the event of ajmer blasts home minster of that time shiv raj patil had said that this is “wahabis act”. Before that over makkah masjid blasts one so called expert of the security issues bharat verma said on a channel that “This is effort to impose wahabi tradition”.

Liberhan Commission's Report

2009-11-28T16:43:00.000+05:30

After a wait of seventeen long years, finally the one member Liberhan Commission which was investigating the demolition of the Babri Masjid and incidents related to it, submitted it’s report in front of the Parliament. The Government presented the report and informed the House about the steps taken by it and what are it’s plans in the future in this regard. It should be clear that even before it was presented the secret was out which was a cause for a great commotion in the Parliament. This report highlights the conditions in which the Babri Masjid was demolished and who were the people responsible for it, what was the role of the Government of that time, what was the role played by the state government and how did the central government dealt with it. This point has already become clear that the commission has accused 68 people, which include former Prime Minister and senior BJP leader Atal Bihari Vajpayee and the present party president Lal Krishan Advani. It has also presented some recommendations such as bringing an end to the combining of religion and politics and the use of religion for political gains, giving harsh punishments to people who make use of religion to gain power and making of laws for this purpose, to ban such government or governments which include religious articles in their agenda, the election commission should reject the nomination of such candidates who are found involved in spreading religious hatred , stopping people from making caste and class as election issues etc. All these people clearly belong to the current government. Beauracracy has also been found guilty and muslim leaders are also not forgiven. The names of the leaders mentioned in the report which the commission has presented which comprises of more than a thousand pages belong to BJP,RSS,Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Shiv Sena and Bajrang Dal etc.

The points explained by the Government, which express their plans, state that the government will try to get the speedy judgement of the various cases registered against the accused in the different courts of the country, but they have not promised that any action will be taken against them, whether they are individuals or parties. In this way the Government has announced that cases registered against people involved in communal riots will not be taken back. The proposal which was given by the commission for putting an end to the use of religion for political gains, the government in this regard has given this clarification that it will send it soon to the commission so that they can ponder upon it. In the same way the government has also agreed to this view of the commission that the attitude of the police should change and fresh thought should be given to the ways and methodologies and necessary steps should be taken for their improvement. Also the police force should be equipped and also trained with latest arms and ammunitions . But the government has not accepted this proposal that a commission which has a competent authority and a legal status too should be formed for the security of sensitive places and memorials. In the same way it has also rejected the proposal of forming a separate force to control communal riots. However this report of the commission has once again proved that such parties are present inside the country which are involved in spreading communal hatred. In the same way this fact has also become clear that such individuals not only stand as candidates in the elections rather they get elected and reach the state assemblies and parliament too. The presence of weaknesses in the structure of the governing body and the police organisation has also been proved. It is now time to watch what steps the government is going to take in this regard.

Third record of Cricket hero

2009-11-25T18:39:00.002+05:30

Sachin Tendulkar this year made three records at once. Became the first player to make 17000 runs in test cricket, playing continuously 20 years entered into the 21^st year and the third record was made just by chance. What happened was, at this event Sachin won everyone’s heart by telling “I am a Maharshtrian, I am proud of that but I am Indian first.” And also that “Mumbai city belongs to everyone.” But the third record did not make up just by winning hearts. Record was made when shiv sena’s bal thackrey wrote in his marathi daily ‘samna’ that “By saying those things sachin angered marathi people.” Thackrey had objection over two points. On saying himself Indian first rather than being maharashtrian, and over saying Mumbai belongs to everyone. Media hyped this analysis on large scale. What else could it be, bal thackrey was condemned from all over and sachin was poured with flowers of praise and that is how sachin got the position of “national hero”. This debate is still continued in media – But was this matter that important that there needed to be such vigorous debate and this strongly reacted upon ? Some one would be made hero and someone villain ? Emotions be provoked and this issue be declared as patriotism and anti national ?

This issue is not that worthwhile

No, this issue is not that worth. This debate is useless. This question itself is vague and funny that “first you are maharashtrian or Indian” It is the simple thing that individual holds both the identities at the same time. Sachin was born in Maharashtra and India at once. There is no conflict between these two identities. The problem raises when some one insists that first he is a maharashtrian and at any cost would work for the benefit of maharashtra then this mentality might also be created in other state people. Factually this happened too. In this country first time who ever said this, its impact was over entire country. Today between states and regions whatever border, culture and language clash exists, that is as a result of the same question. It is also the fact as this conflict reached till the lowest level. Every state got many many regions, every region consists of many districts, every district has many many jurisdictions, towns and sub divisions. Every jurisdiction has many villages, and every village people think theirs is the best village. For the sake of it there is nothing wrong in it, but this love if turn into discrimination then it creates problems. “What first” question is like a child being asked as tell whose son you are first , your mother’s or your father’s ? If he replies that I am son of both at once, then insisting on him that you have to tell whose son first you are.

This silliness is age-old

Actually this is the fabrication of silly minds and is the same question which is every now and then have been asked to muslims of India that “ tell you are muslim first or Indian first?”. Some evil minds even today raise this question. And the funny thing is that so called secular circles and “pro minority” people talk fuzz in reply to this stupidity in defending muslims and also few muslim scholars and politicians by irresponsibly uttering their say in “first” and “next” useless debate, make the position of muslims difficult. Whereas questions of this type are worth of being rejected dislikeably. Those who do not have any program for the betterment, success and salvation of humans, or whose own lives are free of any constructive concept of life, only those think of these stupid things and media makes them shine. Be the question of “you are first maharashtrian or Indian first” or be it “Indian first or muslim first”, is not just only vague and meaningless but also evil. This is the game of the fabricators of words. There should be legal action against those who raise these questions. It is government’s job to restrain media in this regard.

Self Navel-gazing required….

2009-11-19T18:59:00.000+05:30

Whatever maharshtra nav nirman sena is doing in maharashtra in the name of marathi language and culture, thatis being condemned rightly from all around. But those who condemn are also in some level possess the same narrow-look and discriminative mentality as well. In 60’s when bal thackrey raised this issue then only people from south India were the target, specially the tamil people. Whereas in the neighbouring Tamilnadu a campaign against hindi was run which was a violent movement. Over the question of belgaun in Karnataka, the kannada feelings were same as extreme as in maharshtra. Issue was the same language and culture. Before that Punjab state was formed over the same question of pujabi language and culture, even now between Punjab and haryana abohar and fazla is still to be resolved. Actually the door for language dispute is opened by the centre itself by forming states based on the languages. And by hindi craze everyone is aware that how from the government and political level it was tried to be imposed on people. Once even jan sangh raised a slogan of hindi, hindu, Hindustan . But when looked at south and also have seen that indra Gandhi is doing this in much better way then it had withdrawn from the hindi slogan.

Look by widening the circle

That means language discrimination is not any new. In mahrashtra senas just did a new thing that is started kicking out other state people, but only hindi people. They did not mess up with gujratis as they are the wealthy guys. To summarize it is like if any community based on solely language and culture can not tolerate others then it is also a fact that outside of its own circle it also may be unacceptable to others. If any other circle start this then a tension may be created. This is the nature of human beings. Now if this thing is seen by widening from the regional level to the nations level, the exactly same situation will emerge. If any country’s people on the regional, racial, linguistic and cultural basis want from the people of other countries to accept their superiority, then that is resisted. Except that any nation , race or state do this by cheating and shrewdly or make itself powerful by military, atomic, economic and science and technology
power. German race thinks itself the best race in the world. French culture claims that it is the best human civilization. But none of the two is in the position to make themselves be acceptable to the world. But two powers seem to be successful in this effort. Jewish and American. One by cheating and shrewdness and the other by material power.

One question from human beings

The history of the humans witnessed that in the world whatever bloodshed took place that was due to the conflict of nations, races and civilizations. This conflict still exists but in some different forms. Countries today if are accepting the superiority of America then they are doing because of their weakness or some greed or benefit. Few countries are quite and from inside trying to make themselves stronger so that they can come forward to compete with America . Means no one with fair heart and with fairness accepts the america ’s material and Israel ’s racial superiority. If this is the true situation then there won’t be true peace in the world established. Cruelty and chaos be there on earth. Now this is the question that is there a need for the world and its people of a concept of life which rising above national, racial, linguistic, cultural and regional emotions and think about safety, well being and salvation of the entire manking considering the whole
man kind one unit, make all people connected with each other with love, mutual cooperation and well wishing. No human can answer this in negative. By the good fortune of humans this concept of life is there in the world. But their misfortune that the group of people who holds and carries that, it is unable to present it to the world in the right way.

Khan Market , Atar and Urdu

2009-11-13T10:41:00.000+05:30

It is revealed that on 16th October in Madgaun of Goa the blast which has taken place, in which two people Malkonda patil and Yogesh nayek died. At this event police obtained few things which were meant to show the event as blast has been done by muslims. But this could be shown as such when patil and nayek succeed in their task, means by leaving explosive material in the selected place and escape from there. Blast could take place at the crowd of deewali resulting many people to die. Then on a large scale news would come that “from the place of blast a shopping bag is found on which Khan Market Delhi is written. A bottle of atar and a basmati rice which has urdu writing on it is also found. After that, with reference to police some muslim group name would have been taken (this time perhaps “goa mujahideen’ would be discovered) and media in no time would spread it through out the world and start connecting the links from one to another end. But more dangerous than that thing would could happen were the communal tension start in goa and in other states too evil minded elements would start jumping around. But this time too the divine wish was the same which was in nanded and kanpur earlier. That is the people fabricating the plot fell victim to their own plot.

Are these silly evidences
Some people can think that Patil and nayek were stupids who were doing this with such silly evidences, then it is be clarified that they were neither stupids nor unaware. Whatever they were doing, were doing knowingly. They were experienced and wanted to carry on their task as per the method they usually do. Now if the bomb blasted before they wanted, then it is not their fault. This method is being used through out the country since a long time. And ‘evidences’ are why silly? Where the police and media consider these evidences as ‘solid’ there the general public easily will also believe it. This is the proven and successful method of police and secret service agencies. While doing this terrorists always keep the complete and solid proof with them so that for police to identify and to reach to a conclusion there should not be any difficulty. They do not forget to put their id cards, diaries written in urdu and their planning maps. Sometime even Holy Quran , Islamic books and the praying beads are found with them. In last eight years wherever terror events took place, the same thing happened in most of them, and that is how malgonda patil and yogesh nayek did not do anything wrong. Now the thing which is to happen, happens anyway, like it happened in kanpur and nanded.

Something special in Goa
But there is an unusual thing in Goa that is the inquiry agencies and police seem to be sincere in knowing the truth and efforts to knowing facts. From the place of accident, findings of misleading evidences, though after 23 days but still is not any usual. Giving the news about it Indian Express (8th Nov) reporter Prashant rangnekar from Mumbai writes “ A police officer on the condition of anonymity said that to create the communal tension these things were good enough. Outside elements too could easily use it to make the situation worsened.” But it is hard to tell that this trend of knowing the facts and truth will reach to its fruitful end. Exact an year before after malegaon blasts actual criminals unveiled, the same thing happened. During the peak of unveiling news, 26th Nov events took place and malegaon events were just forgotten like nothing had happened there. Now as Goa facts are moving further, news coming that “lashkar toiba” is planning to attack on a large scale. Sometimes it becomes inevitable to believe that this “lashkare toiba” is for sure is linked with these anti-muslim circles of India, otherwise atleast at this point do not plan to attack.

What Fatima of London did

2009-11-10T10:37:00.000+05:30

These days there is much of a talk about a stage play. This is story of a young muslim girl of London who belongs to an asian family but her entire family is coloured in western culture. She herself too is part of the same culture. Her mother Rukhsana is fond of western dressing and refering to feminist movement of west she says it is the matter of woman's like and dislike. Thinks hijab or veil is the opression on women. Fatima was brought up and educated in the same environment. In school too she mixes up with all white people even has a white boy friend. But suddenly she changes. The part of the western life style which is of shameless and based on prohibited and bad things she avoids. And thus by her style she obviously looks like a muslim girl. A muslim girl who for common western society is a old styled, backward and one holding dark age thoughts. Fatima by this change in her becomes strange not only in her school and surrounding but in her own home. Now the central theme of the drama argues with the question that why did this change come in Fatima and what is the motivation behind that. The story of the play is written by a 21 year old girl Ateha sen gupta and presented it to public with the help of a white director and a local drama company. The name of the drama is "What Fatima Did."

This is analysis of a non-muslim girl

Ateha sen gupta herself is also a daughter of Indian immigrant parents though she was born in britain. The idea of writing this drama she got based on her own observation and experiment. Reporter of Daily Hindu, Hasan sarwar after seeing this play sent a report from london and analysed that after 9-11 in america Islam is being debated all over the world, pardah or hijaab is in debate in particular, about which it is beleived that muslim women do hijab not willingly but due to the pressure of their family people and the society and this is verily a cruelty on women. Sen gupta tried to prove this baseless and wrong. And showed that muslim women observe hijaab by their own choice and by this wants to show their muslim identity. Fatima too by adapting this style wanted to show as she is muslim and she is proud of that. (The Hindu / 3rd Nov). Sen gupta also showed that in britain, there is discrimination with non-britains specially asians due to their cultural and religious background. For Ateha sen gupta Fatima's act is reaction of the same. Also by her action she wants to show the way in between.

Actual thing is not identity

Over this report of Daily Hindu its readers also expressed their views. Most of them have moderate or positive views. But that mind is also obvious which even with sympathy for muslims is unaware of the wisdom behind the Islamic rulings. For example in 5th november's paper this concern of Aditya dekonda of Hyderabad that "For showing identity is it the only way of hijaab, muslim women surely show their identity but it is not necessary that adapt hijaab only, there are other ways of showing the identity too, in your selected field of expertise the better performance is also a way." The answer for that could be as, the showing of identity itself is not the goal. Practicing Islamic rulings is the goal. Identity is the secondary thing. But this answer can not be satisfying for everyone. Thus this question is to be brought forward as why Islam requires women to observe hijaab. what is the wisdom behind it. what are advantages of doing hijaab and what are the drawbacks of not doi8ng it.? That is to understand the benefit of hijaab for the human society and its wisdom it is required that first Islam and its theory of society be understood. Only after that unity of god, interest free economic system, and daily life ruling about halal and haraam can be easily understood. The debate over hijaab along with america and europe even in India could be a best reference for the Dawah of Islam.

Burqa (veil) and Bikni

2009-11-07T17:48:00.000+05:30

"I have two different pictures of women hanging on the well in my room. One is of a woman who is wearing burqa (veil) and is covered head to toe as such that no one can see anything through. In another picture there is only bikni on one woman and everyone can see through everything. These two extremes are the symbol of so called "civilization conflict". In any civilization the role of women is considered pivotal. I am not the expert on the situation of muslim women nor I am the advocate of Burqa. But i defend the values which burqa represents. To me, burqa is the demonstration of woman's modesty and blessedness. The centre of concentration of a muslim woman is her home which she makes and runs. Raise children and help grown-ups. Contrary to that bikini wearing woman is actually nude. On the main roads and on TV show up herself infront of lakhs of people. Actually she is such a property which is no ones but still every one's. She keeps selling herself off in the market. In America the civil standard of the woman is her sexual attarction. As this attraction disappears, she vanish from the scene and surrounded with several problems. Compelled to live in helpless condition.

Whose comparision is that

This comparison of bikini and nurqa is not by any muslim analyst, it is from a world renowned western analyst henry makow. (www.henrymakow.com ) Henry makow is a Canadian Switzerland immigrant citizen and he has an expert view over the situation and events taking place there. He is christian by religion. Over iraq and afghanistan occupation of america he thinks that this is nothing but taking away from uslims their natural resources and making them loose their religious values. To zionism he thinks enemy of christianity as well along with islam. To feminism means western women movement he says is a plot against making human society imbalanced. Makow also received readers views over his comparision. Most of them expressed positive views. Even those rival analysts who write against islamic values all the time adapting a soft style. Means anti islamic analyust peerey had to say as " Burqa and bikini both represent the slavery of woman." (whereas to peerey till now only muslim woman was the slave and suppressed) A young man and his gril friend from america wrote that this anlaysis made them think a lot.

This beleif got strength

By this anlaysis of henry makow this beleif got strengthened that the third eye of people is looking with deeper and unaligned eye towards the situation which has been created against islam and muslims by western conspiracies. Where most of the countries and their people by accepting american imperialism and its global agenda knowingly and unknowingly and gave them selves in mental slavery, there are some foresighted and just people who are concerned over this situation. In euorope and america itself the number of these type of people are increasing who are raising voice over america's campaign against islam. And warning the world against the dangerous impacts of the american imperialism agenda. A large number among them is that who is attracted towards islam due to the western countries campaign against islamic values and muslim countries and injustice and wants to honestly see what is the fundamental difference between islamic beleif and western culture. This faction can be benefited by the findings of henry makow. There is a need that young people using internet spread these findings to those people on a large scale.

Naughtiness of the channels

2009-11-04T23:28:00.001+05:30

Sab TV is an entertainment channel. A comedy serial comes on that 'FIR'. On 22nd October story at 9.30 pm at the end of the story a scene was shown as an unkown person calls a lady police inspector and says he wants to kill her, if she dares can come at the top of so and so building. That lasy accepts the challenge and reached there wearing a bullet proof jacket. That person takes position in a bush and fires bullets on her. She falls down, then camera focus is again on the attcker who smiles at his success. There isnothing special till this point. The special thing is to watch when he smiles on his right dome of rock and its minarette are shown. That means viewers see killer belongs to which religion. In the second part of the story killer tells the reason of this action. He says to lady police officer "I wanted to kill you because you have kept my terrorist brother captive, and there he got punishment to be hanged to death." And that is how the story is clear that not only the person being punished is terrorist but also his borther is his suporter and accepts that his brother is a terrorist.

The way of showing identity
The thing here to be noted is the way of showing the killer and shwoing identitiy of the terrorist. Genrally terrorists names are shown which represents their religious identity.. the same thing could have been here when that person says " my terrorist brother.." Here too any muslim name could have been taken. But instead of doing this a mean technique is used. And this did not happen for the first time. This technique is being used on channels since a long time. Some time ago in kolkatta sarav gangoli's baby daughter was kidnapped and kidnappers asked a big amount of money. This was the obvious case of seeking money and kidnappers could be of any group, but atleast two channels tried their best to prove it the act of 'islamic atankwadi', in a suspense way showed it as a terror group of mumbai. To make strong point of their stand channel sheapishly showed the beared, turbine and a poster of quranic verses with a gun showed repeatedly as no one should have a doubt as what religion kidnappers belong to.

The lash of the accusation of terrorism
Terrorism accusation lash the muslims of india are tolerating since years and being patient. Evuil wishers for this purpose fabricate new ways and new terms. To break and pain out heart and soul 'Islamic terrorism' term was not enough that now by displaying our holy places with the news our hearts are being crushed. It is because we are helpless today. We don't know as if those organizations, institutions and individuals know these satabnic techniques, who are moving around organizing conference against the terrorism and who have the same concept of terrorism as here government, police and secret service agencies, fascist forces and evil wishing media had fabricated. It is the need of the hour that sensible, and coscientuous circles come forward. Sense the tensed situation and make a strategy. A form of action is that legal notice of these type of naughtiness be taken and legal action against them be taken. Against this channel and its program 'FIR' an FIR be booked in different police offices. Then also this be remembered that this is not just any local way of fabricating these things. There is some one whom they are trying to please by doing this.

A new naghtiness from south

2009-11-01T10:02:00.000+05:30

These days a new wicked term is being coined "Love Jihad". This term came from the southern states kerala and karnatak where evil wishing groups as usual started a propaganda as many hindu and christian girls in a large number being converted to muslims by winning over. And this thing particularly is taking place in colleges. Muslim students and youth first trap them in love mesh then make them muslims. Later on these girls are lead to the way of terrorism as well. Media people are giving the news of this evil wishing according to their own ways and their inner souls. Where some channels and news papers are exaggerating this evil stab, some principled reporters are unveiling the truth of this propaganda as well. Like in 24th October The Hindu, its reporter Sudpoto Mondal did. And as far as the urdu press is concerned as usual the enormous reaction is coming. Kerala and karnatak muslim leaders too sensibly took notice of it, but probably only upto the point of statements. What action plan they have prepared to restrain this new wickedness, we don't know.

What could be the base ?

To defame Islam and muslims the new and strange tricks are being used, this 'love jihad' is newest of them. But before discussing the issue as why they are doing this ? It has to be looked into as how these evil wishers got this idea or what could be the base for it. In the country, whatever is the moral situation of the youth, is not hidden from any of the virtuous citizen. In colleges there is less education and more entertainment. Students spend more time in Fashion, ragging, intoxication drinking, and other immoral activities. And now if some students keep away from these things and concentrate on education, spend time in libraries seeking knowledge, wear decent clothes, behave respectfully with teachers, fellow students and management, naturally they attract those students and girls who already possess these qualities. Girls naturally have these good qualities among them. A survey revealed this as muslim students, boys and girls, in colleges over all refrain from these immoral activities, concentrate on studiesand behave and hold good manners. In this situation if same values sharing students get close and sometimes it reaches to marital relation it is not any strange thing.

This is the fear of moral power.

So this is the base which evil wishers got. And they are making this tiny stone a mountain and doing propaganda that muslim boys on a large scale targeting non muslim girls. More over these evil thinkers fabricated a funny term 'love jihad'. Over this a karnatak leader M.P.Prakash's statement is recalled which as a home minister he gave on 9th July 2007 at Bangalore talking to NDTV. He said "In connection with Glasgo airport terror attacks, the three youth of Bangalore who were arrested, in appearance they look sober, well behaved and full of enthusiasm of serving people, by looking at them no one among people can say that these guys can carry out terror activities or can have such dangerous thoughts. These guys are more dangerous than the road side criminals." (Indian Express 10th July 2007). About arrested three youth kafeel, sabeel and haneef, these information to the home minister were provided by secret agencies. So it is learnt that entire worry should be because of the islamic manners and its expression, and should be there as well. Because in the name of progress and economic well being the evil and immoral storm which is coming from the west, moral syustem of islam is the only hurdle. And this is not just the local issue this is an international campaign.

Lenin had said.

2009-10-25T09:54:00.000+05:30

"You all people whose masjids and homes were demolished by zars and cruels of Russia, whose beleives and traditions have been ruined, from today onwards your beleives, your traditions, your national and cultural institutes are free and safe. Now you organize your national life freely and without any hurdles. You desrve that. And be understood very well that like other people of Russia your rights will be protected as well by revolution of Russia, its agencies, soviete workers, soldiers, farmers and representatives of the revolution with the full force. Thus you support the revolution and its self content government. Comredes and brothers ! come on we will march towards an honest and democratic peace. Look on our flags "crushed people's freedom" is written. In Russia Communist Revolution's leader Vladimer Lenin addressed this to muslims in 1917 immediately after Revolution. It was clearly told in that as whatever happened during the oppression of zars of Russia will not happen in Communist rule. Means it was an obvious effort of taking muslim community in confidence and gaining their support.

History record shows
Record of the history shows that during the initial period of the revolution, environment was pleasant, was a type of compromise. Situation started deteriorating when communist rulers started campaign against the religion and took Islam into fold along with the christianity. That is because the origin of communism was atheism and it assumed religion its biggest enemy. The mistake with balshyook rulers was that they wanted to ride all the religion with the same stick. By seeing christian bishops behaviour and situation of the christians, made their mind. The same mistake was done by the founder of commuist way of life Carl Marx. Whereas muslims were not against the spirit of the revolution of 1917. In the distribution of wealth justly, in fulfilling poor, needy, helpless and labourers basic needs and making their standard of life better, muslims were with them in revolution religiously. The fundamental difference was the beleif of one ness of god and the resurrection. Means muslim could work for the same causes with more higher goals. The hereafter salvation, is the noble offer of Islam to the humanity. But alas the revolutionists did not observe this aspect and did not let muslims a chance. If Marx would have observed the Islamic way of life then there could have been a great implementing force the 1917 revolution woul have got.

Why this story recalled
Revolution of Russia story is recalled as on internet "The Jakarta post" in an article "When Lenin and shriah met together" was seen. The author of that is an indonesian citizen Haleem who is doing Ph.D. from the Islamic studies department of an University in Montreal. Though in the article, history of Indonesia, strength of communist movement there before 1955, and todays situation is discussed. And it is mentioned as if communist movement reconsider its stand abouit religion and Indonesian people too accept the services of communist movement in the end of colonial system and then upbringing of it as a free country, then there by the mutual values of Islam and communism an experiment can be done. (The Jakarta Post dot com).... But there is a need that the invitation to understand Islam shuld be given worlwide to coimmunism. There could be two points for debate: 1. Beholders of communist system of life study Islam being honest and unbiased. 2.Cotrary to equal distribution of economic resources, just distribution they should observe oin rational basis. If they did not withdraw from the cause of poor, poor farmers, labourers, then they should try doing this experiment for sure.

The position of muslims in the world

2009-10-22T13:19:00.000+05:30

Whatever is the objective of publishing peo research centre report about present number of the muslims in the world and statistics about that, but this report, in the entire world , western world in particular if not the issue of debate atleast has become the reason for attention for sure. It was shown in the light of numbers and stats as what is the position of those holding Islam as belief. Peo research centre claims that these numbers and stats are authentic which its sub institute ‘forum for religion and public life’ prepared after three years countinuous research in different parts of the world. There are enough reasons to believe that this American institute, which says that its expenses are taken care by a charitable trust, just for the service or welfare of the muslims. There are surely some objectives of America. And those objectives could be that America is trying to influence or control Islamic world by different tactics. These tactics are soft as well and some hard too. Mostly are hard. A survey like this was the need of American policy makers themselves. Thery could have kept this report hidden too, its unknown as what perceptiveness was there in making it public. And the charitable trust reality could nothing else be there but the Christian people and institutes might provide fund.

Possibility of positivity
Whatever might be the america’s objective, report is important for muslim ummah too. First time ever known that its strength on earth is one arawb 57 crores, what country what is the number, also that what is the status of strong belief and practicing Islamic rulings. Though there are many possibilities to doubt and suspicion, for some historical reasons, also the behaviour which people of the book had since the day one with Islam, and the recent reason is the chain of events since twenty years specially after September eleven 2001. But still there is possibility of positivity for some extent. If the editors of the report and the experts on religions honestly and fair heartedly analyse , they can reach to the conclusion easily that Islam is not any new religion for them, but the continuation of Abrahamic tradition. After that there won’t be any difficulty in understanding the belief of muslim ummah that religion of Ibrahim, moses amd Jesus, completed by revelation on Muhammad and now this is the actual Hebrew religion. If those people understand this reality then their policy of conflict and collision would turn to compromise and sympathy instead. And if they see as a matter of fact any problem in accepting it, then atleast they will see that among Islam and western world there are more factors of unity and agreeableness than conflict and differences.

There is a third opponent too
There are two opponents visible for the publishing of peo centre report. America and Islamic world. But there is a third concerned party too. That is the analysts of free countires. Thus on western newspapers and internet sites analysis are coming These analaysis are of two types, negative and unaligned as well. One such critical analysis appeared on “Independent Ireland” blog which is a Christian magazine. In this a fundamental question is debated as Why Islam is spreading so fast and why getting so popular. Then few of its qualities are mentioned: 1. The commandments of Islam are very simple, easy to understand. If you disobey then punishment is certainly there. 2. Islam has confidence in it along with the belief in Allah and doesn’t have to regret for any of its action. 3.In few family matters where there is a strict behaviour with women there is very soft corner for women in Islam. In Islam there is very much respect for women, widows and orphans are taken care very well. 4.Practicing muslims are very much generous and spend in charity. 5.AIDS is very less in muslim countries because sexual rulings are very strict also like Judaism Islam has the tradition of circumscisson. 6.Islam has the uncomparable equality and unity. (EChurchwebsite.org.uk) In the end blog suggested that if Christianity wants to be alive and be popular then should adopt the way like Islam. Thus, it is learnt that the third concerned party is sincerely observing.

An unusual perception of the young leader

2009-10-19T12:02:00.000+05:30

When Rahul Gandhi was telling in Shimla on 14th October that “ What importance we are giving to Pakistan, it doesn’t even deserve half of that, because that is a small piece of land which has no comparison with our country, that is why we should remove the illusion of Pakistan from our heart…” then policy makers sitting in Delhi might have enjoyed it, and surely might have smiled within closed lips. More than anyone else Foreign ministry official would have enjoyed it. Foreign secretary would have been laughing inside. Foreign minister S.M.Krishna when looked at Parnab Mukherjee ex-foreign minister with asking looks, then mukherjee, who taught Krishna foreign ministry lessons in May while giving the charge, would have signaled to keep quite and told in the language of the moment as he is still a young leader. Foreign policy wisdom he will get gradually. Deputy foreign minister Shashi tharoor could not have got free time paying five star hotel stay bills. He would have benefited with the statement otherwise. There is not any reaction yet from government side but it is guessed as in Foreign affairs office and Interior affairs office the situation would have been the same. And it was believed that Rahul Gandhi did not read the lesson of arth shastr and should be advised to read it.

Motive of the statement
Young General secretary of Congress expressed this unusual perception infront of the media reporters. Motive for this probably was that, like common people Rahul Gandhi also had been hearing the government officials statements daily morning, noon, afternoon, evening and night about Pakistan. When observed the performance of new foreign minister Krishna, 90% of that would have been the statements against Pakistan. Prime minister, home minister, foreign minister, national security advisor and other government officials performance also had much of it. And this thing might look strange as why there is so much attention for Pakistan ? But since he is not in the government and still new in the leadership role of the ruling party. Thus he did not get chance to understand the structure of government and party’s fundamental policies. That is why he forgot the fact that whatever he said about Pakistan, government policy makers know very well, know it since the beginning, and know it more than Rahul. There are very big minds in foreign and interior ministries who control the ministers in the policies. Whatever is sai, is said after very careful thinking.

Issue is of common people too
To Rahul Gandhi anyway government officials will teach the wisdom behind the government policies today or tomorrow but the issue is with common people too. Like Rahul many other citizen too think that what is going on after all. Very sensitive and delicate is the issue of terrorism. On the government level it is continuously being told that Pakistan is carrying out the terror activities in our country. Now a common citizen thinks that violence, destruction, killing and bloodshed events are happening more in Pakistan. For this government of Pakistan holds responsible to the same groups which government of India holds responsible. Then what type of country Pakistan is, which fights with the terrorists within the country, and on the other hand trains the same terrorists and send them to India. Informed circles also know that right now the Pak-afghan border is completely open for America and Israel agents, whatever they like they do. America by its dangerous drone planes openly attacking Pakistan areas. Government of Pakistan is not doing anything to stop it but it is interested in carrying out terror activities in India. This question ight also have come in Rahul’s mind. Whatever, if Rahul gave this statement consciously abou Pakistan, then it can be hoped that if the country’s affairs come into the hands of this Youngman then the realistic approach towards issues will be taken.

Opinion of a social affairs expert

2009-10-13T11:43:00.000+05:30

Nitesh Sen Gupta says that the proposal of U.N.Commission for Human Rights which is prepared for combating any kind of discrimination based on the profession or cast and creed, is a good document. This will be helpful in India to stop discrimination and tension among casts and communities. Thus Indian Government should not oppose it, more over should support along with Nepal and Sri Lanka. Sen Gupta claims that the cast system is not there in the rigin of Hinduism and basic books like Upanishads and bhagvat geeta. There is only work distribution in them. This is manosmrati which gave this thing a form of permenant system and today it is the system of manusmrati that is established. Sen Gupta also says that the issue of reservation in government jobs for “lower and backward cast” has become a profitable political business. And the people doing the reservation politics do not want to change the situation For this Sen Gupta holds V.P.Singh government’s mandal report responsible. He is also fedup with “one man vote” democracy which according to him has created this situation. Nitesh sen gupta had been a secretary for India Government and was also a M.P. He is considered an expert in social affairs. He expressed these views of him in an article of Asian Age on 19th October.

The actual question is ignored
This article is one among the dozens of articles and analysis which appeared in Indian media after the U.N. Commision for Human Rights movement and these views of a former central secretary represent all of them. After looking into all these analysis , one thing clearly came out as the discrimination and the cruelty based on the professions and cast and creed is being condemned and being opposed but this very strange system is not being challenged. This fundamental issue is not debated as why humans are first of all divided into lower and higher casts. Who did it and why did it, and who gave the authority to do this to those who did it.? And now it is being told as this evil has come due to the manosmrati whereas old dharm study says that this thing existed already, mahrashi mano just revised it. Mahrshi mano is just a revivalist not the author. Actually 19 years ago the decision of action over mandal commission’s report had changed the face of country’s politics. To crush the awareness resulted by this announcement, many new issues have been created. After announcement carrying out rath yatra, then in December 1992 demolishing babri masjid andolan, was for turning the direction of the same awareness, like Atal bihari Vajpayee said, “If there were not manadal , there would not have been kamandal”.

After the british left
After the brithishers left, those in whose hands the black and white of this contry had come, they adopted the democracy, that is adult voting way , with the belief that this in every sector of the collective life, will guarantee the authority of “majority”. The purpose and motive of reservation for lower casts was to keep them tied up to the majority social system. For four decades this formula worked without any interruption but in 1990 announcement of mandal had hurt it severely. Although the upholders of this system, by chanting the slogans of ram mandir first then uniform civil code, wanted to lesser the impacts of this and today by raising the hoax of terrorism and nexalwad, trying to push it back in the background, but anyway this is the biggest problem of this country. Desire for the solution of this is not there. Faction of the victims of this system living in the cities, and taking advantage of the quota and reservation, does not feel the need of reformation. Political people want to keep it alive. Actually hit are those crores of communities who live in villages and small towns. Now the people who are talking about reformation in the light of U.N.Movement also wish that just discrimination be not allowed, otherwise they are not debating over the fundamental cause of the evil either, and they can not do it.

China, who is our neighbour

2009-10-10T22:28:00.000+05:30

60th anniversary of communist rule and the celebration on this event and the military power display by China --- This has been a special topic of world’s attention. Stories of huge development in science and technology in China are very popular in the entire world. China is readily accepted as a very big and more over the second largest rising economic power of the world. But China coming out as a strong military power has become topic of the debate for world political analysts. War experts , who call and wants to be called “defence experts”, turned towards China but with concern. America and its experts being worried over this step forward of China is natural. But in our country there is obvious concern as we are the closest and biggest neighbour of China. Here there did not any response come from government side but notice by media and private experts is taken. TV channels discussed this overnight since 1st October evening. In general this had been presented negatively. Many of the channels called it “Death show”. Next day news papers reports and analysis was towards the same issue.

Secret of the progress
Progress of our biggest neighbour is admirable for our country and for sure, concerning as well. But before anything else this should be looked at as how China did progress so. Experts on nations say that Chinese nation is a very intelligent and hardworking nation. It is not work avoiding or confort seeking. Does not waste time in government and non government holidays. It is not comfort loving, excuse seeking and fashion loving , lead a simple life. Though Chinese people did not give the class of God to their country, they do not worship their land but do really love much. Do not buy and sell patriotism. The largest racial unit of china yan (92%), to keep itself united and to progress , did not target any other race, region or religious group for continued hatred. (Though at times few things happen). There is no official religion for Chinese government. The government has the communist and atheist thinking. On the government level no religious group is supported and none is treated with any discrimination. Among the religious groups biggest is the budhism followers, then Taoism people come, muslims come after that and some are Christians and hindus. But there is not any continued tension among them. Within the country, corruption, or cheating among themselves either does not exist or just a little if any.

Assess the self weakness
Definitely our country has the desire for becoming an influential power in the world like china. Skill of becoming big is also there. Manpower, Natural resources and area wise our country is much more ahead than western countries. But few negative trends come in the way of progress. Three flaws can specially be pointed out. 1) A very big almost half of the population is declared low and least based upon their birth and the same behaviour is continued towards them. This is continued for centuries now. 2) On the basis of religion there is aggressive behaviour towards the religious minorities and that is called the patriotism, and this is considered an act necessary for the strength of the country. 3) Corruption exists on all levels of collective life. Corruption has become the culture of the country which lead to the evils like comfort looking, excuse seeking, and work avoidance. In the presence of such weaknesses it is obvious that no nation of the world can become the world’s big and strong nation. Negative trends take towards the weakness not towards progress. Whereas positive thinking guarantees strength and well being. We should admire the progress of China , not envy. We should adopt an assessing way to see what things we should learn from them to follow.

Shastr pooja means worshiping power

2009-10-07T11:14:00.000+05:30

"Shastr pooja" means to worship power is a constant act of RSS which is countinuously carried on in sanghatan programs all the time, on some special events this is perfomred openly and publicly also. This year on vijay dashmi (dasehra) event this thing was done on a large scale which because of the TV Channels, and news papers showed at very far places in and ouside the country. Atleast for Gujrat and Madhya pradesh there chief ministers and government officials and police officers too participated in the pooja. The way of pooja is that all the big and small deadly weapons (Rifel, gun, pistol, revolver, arrows, swords and rods etc) are decorated, then formally like lords and lordess they are worshipped. At this event in some ground or boundary the usage of weapons is performed too. Air firing is done, nevertheless of who has the licence and who doesn't. This time in Bhopal a 45 year old worker of RSS died in firing. On the same event AK47 was given in hands of a 7 year old kid of a police officer and made him to fire. State's chief minister did shastr pooja in his government residence and did air shooting.

This is the common tradition here.
That means this time this political group did this with a much noise and hue and did without caring any law, of which media took a little bit of notice and some congress leaders too made somewhat noise. But the reaction of the state did not come forward as it should be on this unlawful and aggressive power display, which could come for even the 100th part of this by some other community. Because showing to worship the power and force is the common nature here. It is accoding to the very big vedik philosopher chanakya teachings. Chanakya's philosophy is that " to run society and government acheive more and more power, show it off, also be lenient to tghe powerful and be sever to the weak." The need for this is felt spcecially after the China-India war in 1962. Deefence budget grown and keeps growing. There is no doubt that our country military wise is a very big and strong country. The newer amunition is being sought. Now very soon modern harop dron plane will also come from Israel.

There are many forms of power.
But worshipping power is not just shastr pooja, it has much more meaningful act. Amunition is just a symbol. Mother devi has many forms and types. Kali is one among them which is considered the devi for destruction and damage. That is why its pooja is done on a large scale. The mindset is that, do pooja and have friendship with one who either has power to harm you or can give you some benefit. Also it is that there are many form of power other than the power of ammunition. Political power, wealth and money power, body power, knowledge power, science and technology power, man power, family and community power, diplomacy skills, government and ruling power, media power, speaking power (means speaking to please) etc. every power is considered. Every power is worshipped. This is the reason that people coming from outside ruled strongly for centuries. Though in the form of morality and character they had a very good type of power as well which went off with britishers. But the britishers showed well administrative power which was their own need. Today in the form of America a very big and only one world power is there. So taking that what behaviour is found here , is completely according to this power worshiping.

Cast creed and human rights

2009-10-04T02:23:00.000+05:30

News came out about U.N. council for huamn rights that it is about to declare the cast and creed and the discrimination based on the birth as violation of human rights. For this purpose the proposal is made active which the council prepared four months ago, but because of the opposition by few countries particularly India and Nepal, it couldn't be presented for debate. But now Nepal changed its stand and actively supporting the proposal. (Times of India 28th Sep). If the present support trend move further then council will present it for approval in general assembly. According to the report this situation is worrisome for India. Because this country was always against making any international law for cast system and untouchability or making it an international issue. International conference against the racism which was held in 2001 in Durban, in the resolution of that conference movement for adding the discrimination by birth and untouchability was initiated too but because of the India's opposition that was failed. At that time here BJP had the central government

Why objection on an international law ?
Here the mind goes towards the fact that if Indian state is against the by birth discrimination and cast system within the country, made tough regulations against it, violators are punished too then why it has objection over making a law and declaring it an evil at the international level ? The explanation for that is that the Indian state is not against the cast system, wants to protect it and keep it as it is, by deriving legal terms like scheduled cast and scheduled tribe its stability is assured. But it is against the cruelty and discrimination based on this system, wants to stop oppression. This country is a biggest upholder of cast system. The act of deviding and describing the lower and higher casts of very well human beings was done here in this land. Outside world is not fully aware of this fact. If in the international issues as per the racism the cast system is added then for the leaders of this system who are the actual rulers of this country there will be serious problems.

Here it is the question of life and death.
Cast and creed system here is the question of life and death. To keep it alive every effort is been put every tyranny is allowed and every trick is used. The very successfull trick was to promote hatred against the religious entities outside this system. With the help is this hatred the awareness of those communities afflicted by this system is suppressed whcih can be brought up against the system. Not only that, to keep this system safe new enemies and artificial problems are created. The hoax of terrorism is one of such artificial problems. Terrorism is refreed towards a biggest religious identity and being defamed. It is their good fortune that America has made it an international issue. The hue and cry of the terrorism has hidden including the actual terrorism (which is seen in Malegaon) all big and the real problems. Among those the cast and creed system is one which is this country's actual and very big problem. In this situation why the upholders of this system will like that this problem come infront of the world and the air from the artificial problem be pinned down.

Who was Ravan ?

2009-10-01T11:16:00.003+05:30

Dasehra festival is related with the story of Ram when every year countrywide specially in north India the Ram Leelas are held. Last day the statues of Ravan and his two companions are burnt. Means the hero of Dasehra is Ram and the villain is Ravan. But in the eve of same Dasehra from the far places of the country the news about the traditional grievance every year comes too. The day when Ravan statues are burnt some houses have the condition of grievance even the food is not prepared . It is heared that in north India there are many villages where the small small temples of Ravan are there too but they are not mentioned anywhere. Now the news came that near the capital Delhi the actual temple of "Lord Ravan" is being built. Construction started and by next Dasehra it will be ready. In the village Bisrakh this temple is being contructed with the expenditure of almost two crores. In that village neither any Ram mandir is there nor any akhand path of Ramayen could take place there. People of the village say that whenever some one tried to read Ramayen he could not finish reading it. Some calamity took him over. (Indian Express 26th September) A member of Ravan mandir society Anil Koushik says that with compared to other lords and lordesses Ravan was a charecterized Individual.

Who and and when changed the story
Ram, Seeta, Ramayen, this is all the matter of aastha and beleif, according to that the king of Lanka Ravan was a cruel and unkind ruler who dishonoured seeta ji. This story is being taught to Indian generations since a long time. Many generations grown reading this story in syllabi books. Ram being nayek and Ravan khalnayek is their beleif. Now in this situation if Ravan, some people start praising and worshipping him saying he was a charecterful hero, a just ruler and a very big learned individual, this will be an interesting thing. The stories of respecting Ravan and disrespecting Ram were common in Tamilnadu, but those who do that did not beieve in any devi devta. Whereas in north India people worshipping Ravan are the worshippers of shiv and claim that Ravan was a shiv bhagt too. Sincere historians always avoided arguing about this story and left it saying this is the matter of aastha. But the fundamental question anyway raises in minds that what actually the story is ? If the story is messed up then who is behind it ? In the fight of a learned brahmin (Ravan) and a chatri prince (Ram) , if Ram is declared Hero and Ravan is declared villain, then who did this and why did they do that ?

Denial of facts is an old tradition
The interference with historical facts, is an old tradition in Bharat Varsh. It is also told about vedas and other dharmic books that they are not present in the actual language. The old communities history is also disrupted. Beleifs were changed. If observed it seems like for this the same faction is responsible which came from outside and devided the old bharat varsh people in four lower and higher casts based on their birth. Kept itself in higher and ruling position, and based on the same beleif set a social system. Beleifs for humans were established. Then everything they made under their own system. Then those who were outside their beleifs, they were declared nether and their everything was declared wrong. The lie and cheating against them was called legitimate. Since fabricating the historical facts is the left hand game of this community, that is why they tried to prove all the muslim rulers, cruel and ruthless and tried to prove entire period of muslim rule a dark age. Incorrect stories were fabricated related to Babri Majid construction. The mention about the period of muslim rule is very far even the muslims participation in the freedom struggle, this community tried to deny. Thus, since the era of Shri Ram till today the charecter of this community is found negative. In this situation the question still remains that if Ravan was not that type the way he is described then why was the need to change his charecter was there ?

See now even they are telling....

2009-09-07T03:03:00.001+05:30

There was a time when radio, TV Channels and english and hindi news papers used to move over the signals of bharatiya janata party. Atal bihari vajpayee and lal krishn advani were their favourite personalities, anything coming out of their mouths used to be spread around the world in no time. In introducing BJP policies among people and making them succeed party cadre contribution used to be just ten percent, rest 90% work media used to do. In 1990 making the rath yatra of BJP centre of attarction to Indians, more part was of media. Then in 1992 sending 'karsewaks' to ajodhya and making it an important event of twentieth century, media played a vital role. Now a days it is being said that taking BJP to the power, leadership of advani had a big controbution, but the truth is that the credit should be given to media. But now this is the time when advani and other people of his party are fedup and annoyed with media. They all try to avoid facing media. More over Mr advani wants that election commission keep an eye on media whose large portion according to him is corrupt and dishonest.

Why revelaing the secret thing ?

Yes , opposition leader expressed his distrust on media infront of a reporter of Indian Express. The discussion was about party's organizational issues but Mr advani at one point turned it towards the elections being held in some states. Said 'election commission should keep an eye on the Fraud taking place including electronic media. A part of media is corrupt and by taking huge amount of money from parties, spread the news as per the political parties wants, many reporters receive the compensation of not reporting against." (3rd sep) Looks like Mr advani is very worried and hurt by the behaviour of media that he compelled to reveal such a thing which he or any other leader of his party in any case would not do at any cost. Because it is completely "inside matter" and "secret thing". Means a special weapon of BJP which it used itself on a large scale. The power of buying the reporters and using media it had, even congress did not have. During ajodhya andolan it was famous that many reporters get two salaries, one from their newspaper or channel and other one from the vishwa hindu parishad's office.

Media is a buy and sell stuff

Indian media is a saleable stuff. This fact is not hidden from atleast those who in some manner related with media or have the conscientous of current affairs and keep an eye on media. Surely some journalists, because of their political association or loyalty support parties, organisations and personalities but most of the journalists do it for money, popularity and luxuries. This is the point to learn for political parties that the general voters are not for anyone forever, media is also not anyone's. Things which make TRP increase and money can be made, only those are presented in a sunpense creating manner. Now it can be guessed by this, that in the name of terrorism to defame muslims, their organisations, institutions and individuals how easily media can be used, and who can use it. More over this act become even poisonous that many reporters themselves are communal. Thus in any matter of violence government agencies leave it after doing ten percent of the work of actual target and rest 90 percent media does. Now if BJP got some sense then it should try to reapir media as well along with its own building. nothing will happen just by calling election commission.

Issue of public health

2009-09-04T03:00:00.000+05:30

Public health issue is a big problem among the problems of the country, which is discussed upon every now and then among experts and government institutions. The bad situation of public health is analyzed and different reasons are mentioned for that. Poverty and insufficiency named as a very big reason. Poor communities generally lack the urban facilities. Tidyness and the sewerage of waster water facility either does not exists there or inadequate. It is the same case in rural communities. Sound farmers and rich people get good medical treatment going to cities, buy costly medicine too but for poor and labourers it is not possible to do. Like wise some other reasons for lowering the standard of public health are mentioned. But now a health expert denoted a very fundamental reason. And that is the cast system of this country means forming and setting up lower and higher casts based on the birth and on that basis establishing an entire society which is called Hindu samaj. This health expert is Professor A.K.S.Jacob who is an official of the medical college faculty of the chritian college of Vellore.

Where is the origin of cast system

Professor Jacob says that because under the cast system a huge population is declared as low and thus the behaviour of higher casts is inhuman with them. Since a large portion of this population is poor and needy, that is why they live in huts and dirty communities where no medical facilities are available. (The Hindu 22nd August) Professor wrote in the preface of the essay of his article, "Cast system is generally known with reference to Hinduism, but this exists among Christians, Sikhs and Muslims as well." This is not true in case of Muslims. There is no denial that few so called higher cast Muslims, with the communities based upon the professions and work, discriminate socially but it is not of the type which exists in society of the majority. The fundamental difference is that in Hindu society this social discrimination has the approval by religion where as in Muslim society this thing is against the Islamic teachings. Means if any individual or family in Hindu society does not practice the tradition of dicrimination , then they will be disobeying the religion and would be called sinful. Contrary to that if any one practice this in Muslim society he will be the culprit of acting against the teachings of Islam.

There is another aspect of this system

Anyway the topic of the debate is the bad situation of the public health, of which the fundamental reason Professor Jacob says is the cast system, and he is right. He argued with the evidences as under this system how bad is the situation of isolated population, the effect of every political, social and communal event is much more on these communities. But Professor ignored another aspect of the topic or he might not have thought about that. And that is the behaviour of the founders of this cast system with those humans who are outside that social system. Means the religious minorities specially the muslim "minority" which in the dharm of "majority" is called maleech. Where ever they find opportunity they behave with the muslim community the same way they do with shooders since centuries. The recent example is of Gujrat. In Ahmedabad and other cities and in some rural areas the samples of their cold-bloodedness can be seen. All efforts are made that the basic facilities do not reach muslim communities and they remain dirty and unclean and they appear so. So now those experts who denote the cast system responsible for the worsening situation of public health , how will they overcome this aspect ?

Different types of reaction

2009-09-01T15:49:00.002+05:30

A book of famous politician Jaswant Singh about Mohammed ali jinah "Jinah, partition of India and freedom", different and contradictory reaction is coming up over the book from different thought circles. Negative and aggressive comments are coming from people of a particular nature who belong to RSS or BJP mindset. Secular faction of Congress is also not really happy with the book. But quite, by seeing the humiliating situation of BJP. A group thinks that the debate on partition of India is unnecessary, there is no use of this debate. This group can be named innocuous and protective but those smart people are also there among them who knew that if debate starts what point it can reach upto. Funny thing is that the supporters of the book are also of many type. One is that which has open mind towards the responsibility of the partition of India and wants that the facts be brought infornt of the world. Thus this book by Mr Jaswant singh is a critical study. There is another group which supports publication of the book for the sake of freedom of expression, and its stand is that the answer for book should be given by book. But a very clever and cheeky mind also jumped in support of Jaswant singh and his book.

Representing a mischeavous mindset
And the very active and best representative of this mindset is Arun Shourie. Famous english journalist and author, former central minister, BJP's thinker leader, cleverly supporting Jaswant singh defending RSS and its thoughts, ideologies and traditions. For example supporting this opinion of Mr singh that "Responsibility of partition lies also on Congress, Nehru and patel." he says "these leaders did nothing with regards to partition to defeat the conspiracy of Britain and Jinah." The writings of Mr shourie were coming in media taking the reasons of BJP failure in May elections. Now after Jaswant singh's case many statements, writings and interviews have come. A long interview came in the "walk the talk" program of NDTV. This was reported by Indian Express of 26th August. In every answer the clever mentality of RSS is obvious but in some answers defending the sangh methodology, meanness and ruthlessness also exhibited. For example "I was not in favour of removing Modi in Gujrat after riots, as whatever was happening that was reaction. Like the reaction after the assasination of Indra Gandhi in 1984. This reaction could not be stopped. Prime minister Atal bihari Vajpayee, because he is a softhearted man, was making his mind to remove narendra modi."

Three ways of changing the trend
And this is the same mind which remains active in all important events and circumstances. Tactfully manipulates the situation in favour of its own. Actually political powers, to change the trend of situation and events in their favour or to protect themselves against its ill effects, have three ways. 1) Political agitation or exasperating campaigns. (in 1990 after implementing the mandal commission report and government announcement, going on ram rath yatra). 2) Violence and any suuden big event of bloodshed (in last november during the uproar of saffron terrorism, mumbai events). 3) Scholarly, researched and political debate, which is unveiling the harmful realities, trying educational, research and political way to redirect them (in the debate over jaswant singh's book Mr shourie is doing the same thing. he wants to give this debate a new direction so that the distance of RSS from freedom struggle and its relations with britain rule can not come out and the spirit of jaswant singh's work die in itself). Though if this debate go further much and more can happen. But the guilty individuals need not to bother. Because the community which was hurt most by the stroke of partition, is quite since 62 years and now will also be quite.

A reality which was obscured

2009-08-28T14:43:00.000+05:30

In 1999 an Indian passenger airplane being hijacked, and from Khandahar airport bringing it back in return of some pakistani terrorists, and the events of outcry after that might be fresh in many people's minds. This incident took place in the period of BJP's central government when Atal bihari vajpayee was prime minister, Lal krishn advani was home minister and Jaswant singh was foreign minister. Opposition Congress uproar against the matter was questioning that why the dangerous terrorists were released in return of the passengers lives. They not only were released but foreign minister by himself took them in an special airplane and handed over at Khandahar airport to their friends. BJP (NDA) government in this case just kept giving explanation. Lal krishn advani deliberately ignored. Later on he claimed that foreign minister taking the terrorists along with him, was not in his knowledge. In this entire argument a reality, which was obvious like day light, was hidden. This reality was never let be the topic of the debate. Media kept quite illfully, informed people were left wondered.

What had happened before Khandahar
But now Mr Jaswant Singh had started the discussion of the reality. After his expulsion from BJP over his book release about Mohammed Ali Jinah and in the debate after that he reminded people of the country that airplane landed at Amritsar before going to Khandahar. Passengers could have been freed there itself by taking action there, but no action had been taken there. Plan was let to fly from there. For not taking action and to let plane go from there, Jaswant singh calls Home Ministry responsible, of which Mr Advani was the chief. If action were taken in Amritsar, Khandahar situation could not have been occured. (Hindustan Times, Page 10, 24th August). Reminder of Mr Singh might have led many to recall that plane IC-814 before landing in Khandahar tried to land in Gulf and Pakistan too, but could not get permission. During the same time it landed in Punjab at Amritsar airport and stayed for a long time. When no action had been taken, peacefully flied away. Outcry started when the plane reached Khandahar and hijackers presented their demands.

The actual reason of outcry?
One more very important thing should be recalled. Taliban or their regime had nothing to do with plane hijacking. They mediated unbiased. Tried to make the safety of passengers sure. Provided water and food to them. Co-operated totally with the Indian Government. This was the reason after coming back Mr Jaswant singh thanked Taliban and their government and praised their cooperation. (Foreign minister's statements are present on record and those days news papers files can be referred.) But just after few days Taliban were also being scolded. Means politics started. Then in that politics the actual role of Taliban obscured. Amritsar and Taliban reality could have been remained obscured if BJP does not make fuzz over Jaswant Singh's book, and Jaswant singh did not dare to speak truth. There are many realities like this which are hidden by inhuman politics. Mr Sigh's actual statement is just that, the plane landed in Amritsar and no action had been taken at that time and home ministry was responsible for that. But by this statement many facts relating to the incident are coming out. The reason for the outcry over the book release is also could be the same that many realities with regards to the partition of India may come out.

After publishing of book

2009-08-25T02:46:00.000+05:30

Release of the Book of Mr Jaswant Singh about Mohammed Ali Jinah and Partition of India and reaction over that is an important and unusual event in the politics after freedom. Mr Singh tells about the background and the motive behind his research, that he thought to write on the facts about the partition ten years ago when Vajpayee went to Pakistan with the bus. But five years before this thought got stronger and making Mohammed Ali Jinah a focal point, he started digging facts about partition and started writing down the outcome of his study. The reaction over Mr Sigh's book "Jinah - India - Partition and Freddom" is of two types. The liberal minded researchers and analysts praised it calling it a research study, the same time BJP had made a big fuzz against it. Congress reaction is in control at large, though Congress and its leadership is also named responsible for the situation at the time of partition. But BJP lost its control in anger, just because the book held Sardar Patel's behaviour responsible as well for the partition of India along with the Congress and Nehru. For this 'crime' party expelled Mr Singh and imposing the ban on this book in its states.

The important thing is negative reaction
This is the innovation era of Internet and media. This matter spread all over the world. In Europe and America also this is being taken interestingly. And the fact is also that, the important is the reaction over the book rather than the book. This reaction in itself is very meaningful and on its own telling the realities which were there behind the partition of India. Non-aligned and truth loving people might be noting many things. The criticism on BJP and its parivar is just little if said as party is opposing a research work and freedom of expression, also Sardar Patel was not Mahasabha or Sangh guy, he was a Congressman and as a Home Minister of Congress Government he imposed the ban on RSS when Gandhiji was killed. Then why BJP looks at him as its hero, whereas looks at Congress and Nehru as enemy... The matter is not just of Congress or BJP, this is all about a mentality, the mentality which created the situation of partition. By its injustice, not keeping promise, lies and cheekiness made a patriotic individual like Mohammed Ali Jinah upset from the battle of freedom.

Take part in the debate
The partition of India is a big incident, which actually affected the muslims of Indian Sub continet. The reasons for partition and the elements responsible for that are not those which are shown, but some what else. The cast system and political philosophy of Chanakya is a very big factor in that. Because of the unrest of situation sub continent muslims are quite in this matter since 62 years. Indian muslims in particular, made feel guilty of the crime and that is why their toungue is shut. The emotional muslims of Pakistan are happy that they got an independent state. They are uncocerned with the benefit of Ummah and the humanity at large. The Bangla nationality is stamped over Bangadesh muslims. These are the Indian muslims who are under the pressure of an artificial majority since 62 years. This all trouble is just beacuse of the fact that the actual reasons and objectives of the partition are not brought forward. That is because the domination of so called majority all depends on it. It is not like the efforts to bring forward these realities are not made. Many books on this topic in India and Britain are published. In 1989 book of H.M.Serwai "Partition of India , Myth and reality" was a historic document. Anyway muslim scholars and learned people always avoided this debate. But now an important document came into picture by a very experienced leader. Muslim scholars should express their reaction. But this reaction should be free from the psychological fear and be comprising of the facts.

Why the collective system of Zakat?

2009-08-22T15:55:00.000+05:30

To understand the mandatory zakat and the wisdom behind it, firstly the beleif of Islam be refreshed in mind which demands a complete way of life. The religion of Islam guarantees the salvation of this world and the hereafter for entire mankind and presents the solution for all those problems which occur in human life by debating it all.
Individual and collective both. Among the necessities of life the economic problem is the biggest problem of human life. Islam takes account of it considerably but with complete balance and justice.
Considers people's skill, ability, hardwork, neceesity, inability and helplessness everything. Zakat is an important part of Islam's economic principle. Spitrit of this is that "take money from rich and give it out to poor and needy."
Also "the wealth should not just be struck in hands of your rich." The ways of both giving and taking are set as well. In the belief this measure has been taken as the giver should not think as if he is doing any favour. The same way there should not be any inferiority or feeling of gratefulness by the one who takes. In both of them if there is any sense of gratefullness that should be only for the God Allah. Then the purpose of zakat is made certain by the collective system of zakat. But it is obvious that to act upon that is the responsibility of Ummah. But right now the situation is such that, because of the time factors and the disintegration of ummah where very other collective matters of Islam are affected , the same way zakat spirit is also affected. The concept of Islamic collectiveness was shaded after the Khilafat-e-Rashida itself. And by the time Islam reached the land of India, zakat has been just left as an individual act. Where as like the collective prayer the giving zakat also demands the collective system. Here everyone is aware of the importance and advantages of praying collectively but unaware of the importance and significance of paying zakat collectively. Those who even strictly follow the prayers collectively, do not pay attention towards the collective system of zakat. Very interesting but unfortunate situation it is. Every praying individual knows that praying alone is valid but praying together is definitely something special. But this simple point is not understood that paying zakat alone makes it valid but the wisdom behind paying it collectively is something special. Whereas everyone can notice that establishing prayer and giving zakat came simultaneously in Quran. Actually the importance and wisdon of collective zakat can not be explained until the concept of islamic collectiveness is not readily understood well in mind. The same way the value and price of the Islamic economics system can not be confidently presented to non-muslims until we ourselves understand it very well.

The necessities of human life, specially for the solution of economic problem, people in every era in the history are seen worried and striving. In the recent era the solution was presented as the distribution of wealth should be equal. And an agency to control this should exist at international level or atleast at country level. Contrary to that another solution was presented as those who are already rich try to make more money and for that purpose utilize those who do not have wealth. Then pay to anyone of them whatever is desired. However the hold over the wealth will be theirs. If the first solution is unnatural , inavlid and immoral, the second one is exploiting and cruel. But this is unfortunate for the world that few big economic and military powers have imposed this second solution on the world. All countries are helpless infront of that. Then it is not just this capitalistic solution just exploits humans economically but also the moral anrchy, vulgarism, shamelessness, disgracefulness , and exploitation of women are the components of this economics system. In the whole world no one except Islam has the skill and courage to challenge this satanic system of economics. That is why by the blessed muslim economists the efforts are being made to introduce the Islamic banking or interest free banking. But the first step of introducing this should be the easy and practical collective system of zakat which is ofcourse related to muslim ummah, but this is the best way of witnessing unto mankind as well. Mohammed Younus of Bangladesh with the experiment of micro economics attarcted the entire world, in the same manner in the whole country india or in any state by successfull experiment of collective system of zakat the world can be attarcted towards the blessings of Islamic collectiveness. The sincere practise on any of the Islamic ruling is the witness unto mankind and in today's world, to free up and for protecting the common people from interest based cruel and exploiting system, attarcting them towards the principles of Islamic economics is an effective means of witness unto mankind.

Like the required collectiveness in Islam , the concept of collective zakat has also become strange in this country. So to attarcat and explain this scholars have to work hard. Few people by referring to the unislamic government mention the practical difficulties. Few big madarsah administrators also fear that if the central baitul mal is established, the income for madarsahs will be affected. One more concern is that for this great responsibility the required honest workers and volunteers can not be found. These concerns are not just baseless. There is sense in these concerns. Thus the scholars calling for collective system should provide satisfactory answers for this, which surely they can do. Similarly those people who are concerned in this regard, by taking into consideration the great benefit of the religion and ummah at large, should give a second thought. The collective system of zakat can not be unjust towards the deserving parties. If any institution deserves the complete dependence on zakat, then this consideration will be there in baitul mal in the light of shariah. Apart from other benefits and blessings the collective system of zakat will be the source of unity and integrity of the nation in this country.
Inshallah God willing.

India, Pakistan, China

2009-08-19T12:38:00.000+05:30

In 3rd August Asian, an ex higher navy officer, Vice admiral Arun Kumar singh wrote in his article that India has lost many chances of finishing Pakistan or getting victory over. Right now Pakistan itself is a victim of terrorism and process of breaking apart. Thus India has no choice but to wait for it to break.

On 7th August in the Asian Age, a bengali brahmin living in Mumbai Shyamal kumar chatterji called the article of navy officer an expression of patriotism, but did not agree with the thing that there should be wait to see Pakistan breaking but wrote that the present crisis of Pakistan is a good chance for India. Taking advantage of it Pakistan should be broken into peices and for this cause the long term national policy has to be derived. This is need of the hour.

On 10th August chief of navy admiral suresh mehta said addressing an important meeting of naval officers that " In the power and strength and military and economic progress there is no comparison of India and China, India is far behind. Thus the common sense demands that instead of any type of tension better to be with mutual cooperation and friendship. In traditional and non-traditional both type of military skills China is much more farther than us. (Indian Express / 11th August).

India and China

According to the Indian Express and Mail Today of 12th August in one of the websites of China, which is beleived that, belongs to the semi-governmental scholars of China, an article has been published in which it is said that for the stabilization of China and for the betterment of the Asia it is necessary that India be divided into some twenty , thirty pieces, which is possible with little effort of China. According to the article, in the history India was never been one nation or a united country. It is the collection of different nations and identities which the disintegrating hinduism keeps bound to a cast system and an exploitism. It is said in the article that China should help the seperatists in Assam, Nagaland, Kashmir, and Tamil Nadu. After the break down of Indian Federation, China can take its 90,000 Sq Km land (Arunachal Pradesh) to which it calls south tibbet.

The Indian Foreign Ministry raised objection over the article, and advised China to be carefull in this regard, so that relations do not get affected. Along with that foreign ministry officials named the article from a Chinese website as the personal opinion of some analyst, means that is not the stand of Chinese government. (Indian Express / 12th August) Chinese article was posted on 8th of April

Two facts are obvious

There are many aspects of this information, but two facts are very obvious. 1) Every stronger one wants to harm the one who is weaker. 2) Every weaker one does not appear as wishing to upset its stronger counterpart but wants to weaken it with all other methods. Our country's policy is according to the chanakya teachings. A philiosopher kotla alias chanakya of some two three thousand years ago, derived some regulations for society and government under the brahmin system of 'varn vyavastha'. His book is popular with the name "Arth Shastr". According to him, do not make any powerful neighbour angry. Treat him with friendship and soft corner, whereas keep weak neighbours under fear, unrest and unprotected, and harrass them so that they obey you. If observed, most of the countries seem to act on this policy. China is a big power but not so big that it can challenge America. That is why China keeps quite on the American bullying in the world. Today there is no any material power bigger than America. If tomorrow, any one comes up, America will behave the same way as India does with China or China with America. Now the question is that, is this situation good for the world and the humanity ? No, it is disasterous. Thus, the world and the humanity needs a central moral power which can establish justice on earth. Save oppressed, weakened and insignificant. Control the oppressors, power holders and weighty. And that moral and spiritual power undoubtedly is Islam.

Outcry over the cruelty is meaningless

2009-08-16T15:28:00.000+05:30

Before independence lower casts were called untouchables. Later on, to lessen their inferiority, the term 'harijan' coined by Gandhi ji was being used. Along with that the term of scheduled cast and scheduled tribes were derived in the country's constitution. The word 'harijan' when lost its meaningfulness as Gandhiji's concept, this was stopped. Now in the newer terminology they are called dalits. During the freedom fight and after that very big scholars and writers were born among them. Many among them consistently kept writing and speaking against the prejudice of brahmin system. In the villages and rural areas the hue and cry over the cruelty is a continual act. But the just fact is that they do not have any moral right to complain. Their hue and cry is completely invalid, meaningless and baseless. Because these communities voluntarily accepted the brahminic social system. They are practicing it since a long time and even today they are part of it. The believes given by the founders of this system, they beieved in those. The idols which were assigned, they started worshipping. Marriage, birth, death and matters of daily life which ever family pandit is allocated, they depend on him and follow for generations.

This is not oppression but punishment
So why complain ? Whatever happens with them, which they call oppression that is actually the punishment of the violation of the social system etiquettes. For example if brahmin decided that lower cast people can not go to the temples of higher cast, then why do they go ? When they go they are beaten. They can not take water from superior cast people's well, why they try to take water. A dalit officer, why takes service from a brahmin janitor. When they do not have right to hold property, respectable names then why do they try to have it ? It is as simple as if you do not violate rules you will not be punished. And yes, if the voluntary acceptance is not there. That is if in the past if the stronger and clever groups of people forcibly made the weaker groups of people to be bound, then it should be looked into as if they resisted it or not. Goutham Boudh, Mahaveer and Krishn etc were the personalities to whom the founders of the system either made failed or by acceptoing them as the branches of their own system made them quite. In the recent past Chaitanya, Jyothi Baphule, Dr Ambedkar and Rama Swamy Naekar and just a while ago scholars like Kanshi Ram roused against brahminism.

But the question is of the current era
Leave this all. The question is of the current era. The discovery of the new branches of knowledge, development of science and technology and the era of internet who can force anybody that be tied to the unjust system thousands of years older. But the fact is that, they are forced, but with some other methods. Like by providing quota in the government jobs for scheduled casts. Tough laws against the oppression over dalits. The scheduled casts and tribes commission to monitor the protection of dalit rights and the implementing of laws for their protection. And these things are enough for dalit communities. They are satisfied as well with that. If not satisfied they could have demanded the national commission instead of the scheduled casts and tribes commission to investigate as cast system when and why was founded. Weaker groups accepted it voluntarily or was there any force for that. What is the rationality of it in the present times ? who needs it ? Then what ever result this investigation brings, that should be accepted. That is either this system has to be embraced whole heartedly or completely rejected. If embraced it, no complains of cruelty should be there. And if rejected , one should call to himself a free and respectable human being and try to understand life with the new beginning. There is no middle way. If there is any middle way that is only like U.P's Maya sit in a corner of a classroom and also keep crying.

The first lesson of innocent girl

2009-08-13T02:12:00.000+05:30

A detailed report about the cruelty on the dalit families in Uttar Pradesh and the inhuman behaviour of the society with them, was published in Asian Age of 20th July. In the foreword of the report, a lady reporter Amita Verma mentioned about the first day experience of an innocent girl, at a government school, was like this. "6 years old Maya was very happy that morning as she was all prepared to go to school for the first time, her family members were happy too. Mother gave her bath, did beautify her, made her wear the school uniform. When she reached in the class room, she sat with other kids. She just had sit there and the school teacher spilled the poison in her ears. "O girl, stand up and go and sit in that corner, you can not sit with these kids." Then she came to know that she belongs to a lower cast that is why she is made to sit seperate from others. And this way it is the first lesson that Maya got in her first time in school." In the same report, with reference to a NGO, 'Maqsad' it was told that in the 90% of the government schools in Uttar Pradesh, there is discrimination against the dalit kids, where as the government over there is of a dalit woman. The news about the denial of eating the food cooked by dalit women in the schools keep coming every other day.

Something else
In The Times of India, 27th July, its reporter Sabodh Ghildiyal showed with reference to a survey that even though the tough laws against the cruelty on dalits are present, people fear them too, also the dalit community has come into the striking position, countrywide the untouchability is continued. The situation in rural areas is worst. The statistics of the different type of hurtful harrassment were given too. Again on 3rd August a detailed report of Shobha John was published which comprised of many journalists reports. In that one also, it was showed with supporting statistics that where and what type of harrassment is faced by dalits in the country. Right during these news reports, in the evening of 4th August a news from Maharashtra has come that the state government had decided to implement tough sections of the central law regarding scheduled cast and tribes. Any village where any of the dalit family or any its individual is harrassed, the entire village will be penalized and its development fund will be decreased. After Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra is the second state where most of the tyranny exists against dalit casts.

This is just a glimpse
These reports about the cruelty against dalit casts just show a glimpse of the actual situation. The problem is more complex and wider than that. It is noticed that when these reports come, they come for many days continuously, but when do not, remain quite for weeks. More over the reporting style also depends on the reporters, as what mind set they are of. About media it is not required to tell as in whose hands it is. ____ This situation of cruelty with dalit cast... though government had made very tough laws to eliminate it. Also for supervising the implementation of these laws and for protection of the dalits a national commission has been established as well. Central and state governments do lot of things for the betterment of these communities. Apart from these, numerous NGo's are active for their welfare. Dalit politics is on its peak these days. But the cruelty against them is not stopping at all. The rural communities and their illiterate families and poor communities keep shouting and crying anyway, in the cities, educated dalits and higher government officials complain about the discrimination as well. That is because a brahmin janitor hates his I.A.S. officer.

One More Question on the Muslim Personal Law

2009-08-10T11:48:00.000+05:30

The commission set up by the Government to supervise and improve the present system of law, has submitted it’s report to the central Law Minister Veerappa Moily. It should be kept in mind that since the past few days dissatisfaction is being expressed over the present system in the country specially the Judicial system. Some groups have stated that it is very important to remove some of the evils that are present. There is dissatisfaction over the structure too. The way corruption has started engulfing this system, concerns are also raised over this. Stress has been given to make justice simple and easy and the harms of not getting justice at the right have also been included. Talks have also been done to make the judicial system better because the weight of such cases is going on increasing in which the decision is pending. This can be realised from the fact that the number of such cases have risen up to fifty thousand and in other higher courts that is 21 High Courts the number of such cases has become even more than 37lakhs and it is still going on increasing. The complaints of malpractices and corruption are also increasing. Like politics, even on the courts the shadow of the anti social elements is not only cast it is increasing, so much so that doubts on the character of some of the higher officials of the judiciary have been expressed. In this regard, this matter is also worth considering that the process of impeachment of the judges should also be made easy and their complete picture should come out in front of the public. Just like it is necessary that all important information regarding the politicians should be public in the same way this should be applicable for the judges as well.

Keeping all these things in mind the Government formed this commission, it’s chief was the former Chief Justice A R Lakshman. Where on one hand the commission has diverted the attention of the government towards various other things and presented their opinion, also given recommendations, together with it they have also raised a very sensitive issue. It is not clear whether it was in it’s scope or not, meaning whether it’s opinion was asked for or not. If not then why did it feel the need to express it’s opinion on it, it is therefore necessary to ponder upon this matter. The sensitive issue which it has been touched is related to Muslim Personal Law. According to the information received it has raised questions about the number of wives in it’s report. They have not only raised objections but they have also given the verdict that the law of having multiple wives which is prevalent among the Muslims is against the real teaching and soul of Islam. This is an obsolete thought which has a lot of bad things included in it. Although the commission also have the knowledge that in India among the Muslims the tradition of keeping more than one wife is very less and very few men can be found with more than one wife. In spite of that the commission feel the need to change this tradition. It is being told that one argument which the commission has presented in support of it’s opinion or thought is that in most of the Muslim countries either this law is nullified or it has been restricted rather legal actions are being taken in order to make it non-functional. However the commission has not stated in clear terms that there should be a change in Muslim Personal Law. One reason for this could be that keeping in view the sensitivity of the matter and fear that some pandemonium might start, no such recommendation was made. However the things mentioned in the remarks are not new, the old things have been repeated. Moreover by doing so it has renewed the old debate and probably has also made it clear that this matter is still alive. The final verdict is to be made yet.

Misbehaviour with Bible

2009-08-10T02:15:00.001+05:30

Recently there was a Bible show in Glasgow city of Britain. This was held by Tax Payers council of Britain. Different editions of different times of the holy book of christian faith were presented. A copy of very old time was kept as well. In these type of shows usually a register is kept in which the viewers write their comments and feedback. In this show as well, the register might have been put. But the viewers started writing on the copies of the Bible itself. Or may be with all the copies some blank papers were added. On which the viewers wrote their feedback. The thing making news out of this news is that some individuals wrote such vulgar, immoral and embarrasing sentences that according to agencies, which are not mentionable. (Siasat / 29th July). Organizers invited the homosexuals too. Perhaps thinking that by seeing Bible they may get corrected. But nothing like that happened. Contrary to that people have thrown arrows of criticism over Bible. Over this misbehaviour, the anger of the leader of catholic christians Pope Benedict is quite natural. He condemned the event harshly. He bashed at the organizers as well that why this type of show was held.

The point which needs attention
Upto this point there is nothing special in this news. Anger of Pope is valid too. The point which need attention was the reference of Quran in Pope's statement. After hearing about misbehaviour with Bible the Pope Benedict 16th very angrily said: "Can anyone dare to do such misbehaviour with The Qura'an." Very honest and true depiction the pope made. Surely any person who think and call himself a Muslim can not do that with the holy book of Islam. If anyone else do it, can not tolerate. It is of pleasure that the pope knows atleast a fundamental reality about muslim nation and Islam. Thus, now the question ahead of him is that why is it so ? If muslims respect their book (which actualy of all human beings) why they respect and if Christians do not do that, then why do they not ? And this point is quite interesting too, as being a Leader of a worldwide religion, whose followers are over 200 crores, America and Europe are whose patron, is asking to learn from the followers of a religion, against which, there is propaganda day and night, and the followers of which are defamed worldwide, and followers of which are passing through a very hard time of the history.

Witness of a Christian Justice
Before the answer to the question raised by chief pontiff is sought, citing one more statement in favour of the pontiff's statement looks suitable. In 1989, addressing a meeting of christian intellectuals in Nairobi University, chairman of Law Reforming Commission of Kenya, Justice Emmanuel Okoba said: "After twenty years of experience as a Majistrate and High Court Judge, as a result, i have seen a big difference between the behaviour of christians with Bible and behaviour of muslims with Qura'an, if a muslim in any case, has to testify by taking oath of Qura'an, 75% of his testification will be true, but if any christian, holding Bible if testify, beleive me the only thing he will say true is just his name." Justice also appealed the chritians that take Bible seriously and respect Bible the same way Muslims do respect Qura'an. (Book 'News and Insight', with reference to Daily Nations). It is known that Christian intellectuals and religious leaders comprehend the real situation since a long time. Now the question is about the situation. The honest fact is that, for this, the new and previous religious leadership of chritian faith is responsible.

The concealed invitation for priests
And that is, the christian clerics did nothing to keep Bible safe in its original format and language. They themselves ruined its teachings. Changed the context. If they could have saved its originality, there could not have been so many different and contradictory editions. The maliciousness of priests left Bible to be criticisable for christians themselves. And the biggest extortion which chritian leaders did with the personality of Jesus the Messiah, whihc is the proof of their maliciousness, that they renounced the book in which the testimonial of Jesus and his prophecy is demonstratedly mentioned. Not only they rejected but also sought enemity with that. And the enemity is also such that the teachings related to Jesus which resemble even with Bible, were codemnable to the priests. After such misdemeanor with Bible, how come the priests expect the respectfulness from the informed and conscientious chritians. We do not say that in the common christian behaviour there is any affect of the behaviour of christian religious leaders which they have towards Islam. But this is for sure that not being satisfied with Bible teachings many virtuous people in the west are coming towards Islam. In their behaviour, there is a hidden invitation for priests as well, to think again about their behaviour towards The Qura'an and Islam.

Problem of Compensation is Solved, Justice is Left

2009-08-07T12:32:00.000+05:30

In the matter of the famous case of fake encounter of Sohrabuddin Sheikh, after nearly four years of hard work and with much difficulty, path was cleared for the compensation for the relatives of the deceased but justice is still a far away dream. Even this compensation they received after the intervention of the Supreme Court, otherwise the state government had overlooked even this. In the hearing of the application given by Sohrabuddin’s brother Rubabuddin the Supreme Court instructed the state government that if it had already accepted that the encounter was fake then it had to pay compensation to the family of the deceased. Although the Supreme Court did not fix the amount of compensation and left the decision on the state government with the instruction that the state government give the reply in the next hearing scheduled on 11^th August. As far as the criminal prosecution in the fake encounter case by the police officials is concerned, the petitioner also took up this issue and expressing dissatisfaction over the CID enquiry ordered by the state government asked for a CBI enquiry. The court did not accept this plea rather it passed an difficult order for the state government that it gives a reply as to why not this fake encounter enquiry should also be given to the special enquiry team which was investigating the special matter of mass murder during the Gujarat riots which the above mentioned court itself had formed in last March, which will carry out the hearing in the related cases in the state courts but it will only be answerable to the supreme court. Neither the state courts nor the state government can interfere either in it’s power or it’s enquiry.

Sohrabuddin fake encounter case, which after staying in the news for a long time had all of a sudden vanished from the limelight, the above mentioned instructions by the supreme court has once again brought it back in news and has increased the difficulties for Narendra Modi’s state government. The above said matter is of November 2005. Not only Sohrabuddin’s fake encounter was done but the two eye witnesses Sohrabuddin’s wife Kausar bi and his friend Tulsiram Prajapati were also killed by the police so that the evidences are buried and everyone believes in the fabricated tale. But the police was not successful in it’s plan. After facing disappointment from all quarters Sohrabuddin’s brother Rubabuddin knocked the doors of the Supreme court for justice then the state government on the orders from the court carried out an enquiry by the CID and accepted that this is a case of fake encounter. Then all the convicts especially the chief of the Gujarat Anti-terrorist Squad D G Vanzara, Superintendent of Police Raj Kumar Pandian and the higher police officer of the Rajasthan Police Dinesh Kumar were send behind the bars and now they are in jails but the affected people were neither given any compensation nor any justice.

Those police officers of Gujarat who along with the police officers of Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh had said that Sohrabuddin was a terrorist of Lashkar-e-tayyaba and had claimed to have killed him in an encounter, they were themselves proved to be terrorists in the enquiry. They not only killed Sohrabuddin after abducting him from a bus, moreover they also killed Sohrabuddin’s wife and burnt her dead body and dispersed the ashes in the fields so that all the traces were removed. Later on in order to cover up the false and wrong deeds they also murdered Prajapati in a fake encounter. But in the end the games of the police were unmasked. Gujarat CID brought the truth out in the open and unmasked the convicts and sent them to jail but due to the lack of interest of the state government they could not be brought to justice. The matter has once again reached the Supreme court. From the initial stand of the court it can be expected that the way in which doors were opened for the compensation for the affected people similarly road to justice will also be cleared.

A hopeful news from Kerala

2009-08-07T00:46:00.000+05:30

There is a news from Kerala that different muslim organisations and groups there agreed on having a common platform, and its goal will be solving those problems together which are equally important for all organisations and sects. In this regard, on 27th July in Kozikode a representative meeting of muslim leaders held. This was felt seriously that, for those common issues and problems which are related to the community irrespective of the group or sect, there should be collective effort for solution, and there should be a common platform established for this. Formulating the minimal common program was also insisted. According to the news portal "Two circles dot net" , among following issues, education and the educational institutions are mentioned in particular. It was felt in the sate whatever muslims have achieved in the field of education, there is planned campaign is being run to destroy it. Also the behaviour of left front government is prejudiced with minorities. In the meeting representatives from Muslim League, Keral nadwatul Mujahideen, Nadwatul Mujahideen Kerala, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, two groups of sunni organisations, Muslim education society, and muslim service society have participated.

A living desire of the muslim heart.
In the noise of meetings, sessions, tours, unity and agreements,which was during the first quarter of this year, not any big hope of common muslims did come true. Because that was just election noice, every leader and every group had its own agenda. It is not estimated as whatever hopeful results came, how much was the part of that noise and how much the sincere thinking of common muslim voters worked. Anyway this happened in politics and will keep happening. But there is no politics involvement right now in the news coming from Kerala. What is going to happen at the time of assembly elections, that is question for later. For now this looks a realistic and praticeable program. This is such a movement which is the voice of every muslim heart. By this news only muslim of Kerala will not cheer, but also the muslims of other state will whole-heartedly feel happy. Like Kerala, in other states, organisations and different sects situation is the same. And every where muslims wants the same, that all their organisations, groups and institutions work together. The fact is that this is the desire of muslim heart in the entire world.

What was Majlis-e-Mushawarat.
After reading this news of Kerala, many might have recalled the experiment of Muslim majlis-e-Mushawarat. In 1964 upon the initiative of few great and conscientious personalities, Muslim majlis-e-Mushawarat was formed the same way. Circumstances were daunting. In many cities the terrifying riots took place. The situation was nervy. The need for organisations and community leaders sitting and their collective effort was insistingly felt. Thus, Dr Syed Mahmood, Moulana Muhammad Muslim, Mufti Ateequr Rehman Usmani, Moulana Abulhasan Ali Nadvi, Moulana Manzoor Noumani, Moulana Abul lais Islahi, Mulla Jaan Muhammad, Dr Abdul Jaleel Fareedi (May allah shower mercy on them) and few other painstaking personalities rose and gathered in Lucknow, and formed Mushawarat. While looking on, this movement spread all over the country. Leaders tours and programs used to be very inspiring. Everywhere even non-muslim personalities were supporting too. This inspiring situation was till the starting of 1967 but after that this was disrupted by the announcement of the general elections. The story later on, is very sorrowful. That situation never came back_______ after years now this cheerful news came from Kerala. If this effort of Kerala is kept within the announced and agreed program and not let to be affected by election politics, it would be a great achievement of Kerala Muslims and muslims of other states surely will get light from it.

Arab World Awaiting Change

2009-08-04T12:03:00.000+05:30

Arab world which is at present divided into small fragments was once upon a time a world reeved into political unity but today it is a tragedy that this world is happy over these fragments just because they are free. At this time the Arab world is a vast area consisting of 25 independent countries and regions. If today they acquire the form of political oneness then according to total land area they can become the second largest region after Russia because at present it’s total area is more than 14 million square kilometre. Whole of the European continent is also lesser than this in area, Europe’s area is 10.4 million square kilometre. It is even bigger than Canada(10millon square kilometre), China(9.67million square kilometre), Unites States of America(9.6million square kilometre) and Brazil(8.7million square kilometre). It is also spread throughout the different continents meaning more than one dozen of it’s countries are in Asia and around one dozen in Africa. Population also is not less although it is not so dense that it can be said that there is population explosion. It’s collective population is about 35crores. This region is a suitable dwelling place. Here, there are opportunities for agriculture that is agricultural land is available here. It can be further improved too. There are various possibilities for this. This area is also rich in mineral resources. This region has been the cradle of tradition and culture. Most of the famous civilisations of the world originated from this land, as if it is the cradle of knowledge and awareness. But the situation at present is that it is an extremely backward region. At one point of time it guided and led mankind today it is devoid of it. Most of the countries are those where tyranny rules. No such thing as political freedom exists here. Although it is known as the region where money flows like water but on the other hand the condition is such that for every two out of five people the income is barely two dollars per day. The problems of poverty and unemployment are also present here and now this region is also facing a security threat. This is the region which in order to fulfil it’s agricultural needs that is food needs has to depend on others. Now the west has also started calling it as the factory for creating terrorists and has put a lot of pressure for it. For this reason all the efforts are utilised to put an end to this danger. The rulers here are also carrying out the same task. But it is said that this region within itself is taking the form of a volcano. The silence which is spread across the region is very dangerous which can be termed as the calm before the great storm. Some people term this silence as the precursor to a revolution.

The importance of Arab world in the eyes of America and other Western countries can be realised from the fact that this area has been the centre of attraction of these countries and a large part of their energies is being spent on them, reason is evident, at this time too America and other Western countries are keeping a close watch on the Arab world. In relation to Arab world’s political and economic conditions, tradition and culture, natural conditions and resources, the amount of research carried out by them is so vast that it is cannot be compared to what the Arab themselves would have even done rather it can be said that whatever Arabs know about themselves is the result of the efforts of these western countries. Since the last seven to eight years one of the United Nations agencies is investigating the Arab world. In the year 2000 work was started on this project which is still going on. It’s first report was published in 2002 which was named Arab Human Development Report, this year it’s fifth report was published. Every report highlights a special aspect. In the first report conditions were studied from the point view of how opportunities can be created for the coming Arab generations that is how can the future be made bright and illustrious for them. Naturally they themselves have created this bright and illustrious image of the future, this means, that is the way they want to see the new generation of the Arab world, and how they want them to move ahead. The third report was published in 2004. It’s central theme was Freedom in the Arab World. The theme itself shows that the people presenting the report say that there is no co-operation among the Arab world, there is no freedom, this is a vast field. This terminology in itself holds a big world. Here it is worth recollecting that former American President George Bush in his term in government had taken up the responsibility upon himself to establish democracy and freedom, for this too he used the terminology of freedom and democracy but what kind of democracy it was and how was the freedom, it can be realised from the fact that he continued to support and back all the non-democratic governments in the Arab countries rather if at any place, a situation of democratic revolution arose then it was strangled then and there. Earlier the second report published in 2003, had the theme Building a Knowledgeable Society as if it’s aim was to remodel such a society which was free of illiteracy in the Arab world. From this it can be clearly understood as to whom they are calling illiterate and what according to them is actually knowledge. The fourth report came out in 2005, it’s theme was Right of Women in the Arab World, this means it was ascertained from this report that the women in Arab world can be enlightened, here the western perspective of enlightenment should be kept in mind. After a break of four years this year the fifth series was released and it’s theme was Challenges to Human Security in the Arab Countries. In this regard the United Nation says that this is an invitation to the Arab scholars to study and understand and give thought to it and have also provided them with the required material and above that they have provided them the direction too.

Advise of the honourable judges

2009-08-04T01:59:00.001+05:30

Those who are concerned by vulgar, abusive and immoral programs of the entertainment channels, Delhi high court solved their problem in just one sentence. If they act on the high court's advise they can get rid of the trouble immediately. Not only that, they could even regret on their unawareness untill now, as why such a practical, useful and actful thought why they did not get before. More over the solution for the problem should have come by itself to them, for that the honourable judges have to bother unnecessarily. And that solution is that " If you do not like the program you just turn off your T.V. monitoring morality is not our job." Surely it is very useful and practical solution. Lakhs of people immediately should take advantage of it. A Delhi high court bench comprising two honourable judges advised this on 29th July rejecting two petitions in which it was demanded to ban two T.V. programs by naming them as vulgar, abusive and against the Indian culture and civilization. Honourable Judges said, "We do not think that our moral values are so weak that a T.V. program can harm them."

Aim of these programs
Every contious and informed citizen of the country is aware that on one hand very beneficial, useful, edudcational and informative programs run on .T.V., at the same time flood of misleading reports, immoral programs is there as well. At one side the News channels report some particular events with full of suspense, on the other hand entertainment channels present vulgar programs in the name of culture. Never ending advertisement knock independently. Every civilized family is fed-up with this situation. To watch one news bulletin or any useful program viewers have to tolerate much more. T.V. channels do this to increase their TRP , to collect unlimited wealth and to over take competing channels. That is why the vulgarness of T.V. channels is increasing day by day. It was reaching to its height in a program being presented in the name of Truth. That is why some viewers complained in high court against that, but by hearing the court advise, everyone might have cheered up. One more interesting thing whihc honourable judges have said, was that "whenever high court give any judgement in regard to morality, supreme court ruled it out." Means it fears that even if it gives any judgement, supreme court will reject it, thus, better to not give any judgement at all.

The justification of the advise
If this advise is seen in its justifiability, then it should be implemented to other things as well. If a liquor store is opened in your community, if you do not want to buy it, just pass by silently, do not protest it. If any prostitution around, you keep away from it but do not try to stop any one else as it is an issue of freedom for people. If any channel is spreading hatred against your religion, your cast or your like, then turn off the T.V. or change the channel. Over all it is an enlarged and meaningful advise and it is quite according to the culture which is growing speedily in the country. This should be seen in the same context in which a judgement given by the Delhi high court in case of homosexuality. Its link is with sexual education in educational institutions too. When these questions can be asked with young children by educating them, why can't they be asked from adults on the T.V. channels. This is all common in western countries. Because they are developped countries. Now when our country is also going to be counted in the developped countries, it should adopt all those values, styles and manners which are necessary for progress. It is one of the requirements of the Globalization that accepting all evils of western world as virtues, should be adopted. And the rulers of our country are doing the same. Let us see further what else happens.

The will for acting on agenda

2009-08-01T14:27:00.000+05:30

"We have decided to act on our agenda, whatever happens. If it takes five ten years more to come in power, it does not matter. We will not withdraw from our association with hindutva. We started our work with hindutva ideology and we will get motivation from it. That is why we will not compromise in hindutva matter, at any cost." The all India president of BJP Rajnath Singh expressed this determination on 26th July in lucknow in an important state meeting of the party. (Indian Express, 27th July). After 16th May, like all other party meetings, in this meeting as well, the question was discussed as why party did not do well, and what should it do in future. About future plan, a faction of the party is talking about withdrawing from hindutva agenda, the same time many are openly insisting on acting upon hindutva. President of BJP in lucknow represented the same mindset. Nonetheless it is not told. and it was never told as what hindutva is ? Need to tell that leaders probably did not feel as the hindutva of the party is obvious from the statements, policies and activities.

And what Congress is doing ?
But now, according to the party president, Party wants to go on hindutva way, thus it has to clearly explain to the voters as what hindutva is ? What are its compositions. If it is wishing to implement the cultural nationalism of RSS , then it does not need to bother. Congress party is doing this more efficiently and systematically, but silently. BJP wanted the domination of hindi, congress governments did that. It wanted the inaugurations of government projects with bhoomi poojan and by breaking coconut, congress is doing the same. Government programs are starting with vandematram and saraswati vandana. On 26th July, in Vishakhapatnam while leaving the sub marine, prepared with the thirty crore thousands of the government treasure, sikh prime minister of congress and his wife, by doing a dharmic (religious) formality and breaking coconut did not they act on the favourite culture of RSS ? In 1980 (Indira Gndhi coming back in power) was this action common ? And the funny thing is that all these things are happening without any change in the secular constitution. What else Bharatiya Janata Party wants ?

The actual agenda is implemented too.
And as far as the actual and hidden agenda of the party is concerned, the ruling party implementing that very well too. Cast system, like before, exists and is strong. "Higher Casts" like always are flourishing and with the help of America the country's economy is concentrated in the hands of a particular cast. And if controlling the muslim citizen is the question, BJP is watching that in case of terrorism what is the behaviour of congress and its government. After 26th November events, in what direction it is going. What is happening with muslim youth. Has not the government made the tougher laws than those which BJP always demanded ? And by sachar commitee report government did not convince it that in government jobs muslims situation is not good. Could BJP adopt the more aggressive stand than what congress has taken ? Could BJP go any more than Congress in pleasing America ? Least is that there is no point in BJP existense, it has nothing to do now. If anything is left, that is demolishing masjids, implementing uniform civil code, and making the country gujrat, thus BJP should have talks with Congress, and the answer to that will be that now it is not at all required.

A Great Danger

2009-08-01T11:39:00.000+05:30

General opinion is that the biggest danger the country is facing is that of terrorism and the common opinion about this terrorism is that they are outside forces specially related to Pakistan. This Pakistan related factor are Muslims hence terrorism is linked with Islam. Moreover America and other Western countries also have the same theory. Therefore our intellectuals in power invariably follow the same line which is followed by America and start thinking in the same bracket. American Intelligentsia is trying hard to convince that the type of terrorist activities they are facing and fighting back, as India is also facing it, therefore both should follow a similar strategy and the stand which America has taken up should be accepted by India as well. Probably for this reason America also wants to make India it’s ally. It says that terrorism is the biggest problem of the world and the danger which the world is facing is this terrorism only. In India a big and influential class is present from the beginning who due to their particular mentality and thinking are supporters of this thought so this has had a pressure on the current Government that it has to move ahead within these parenthesis and spend all it’s concentration and all it’s energies towards it. Muslim animosity had led it to such a level of negligence that it had turned away it’s eyes towards all other dangers. So much so that it has no sense of friends and foes, interests and profit or loss. This has created a big problem for independent foreign policy. Even though there are other dangers to the country’s integrity and these are not external rather they are internal.

One of the biggest dangers is that of Naxal anarchists, which is increasing day by day. Today the situation is that a big fraction of the country is affected by it and according to one survey the areas affected by naxal anarchists constitute about one fourth of the total area and these are those areas which are rich in natural resources. They are rightly known as the backbone of the Indian economy. Some parts of Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Bihar, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh are under it’s influence. It’s presence can also be felt in the North East. They are active in Jharkhand. The result of their anarchy is such that the peace and prosperity of the affected areas is destroyed. This issue has now become so complicated that it has become a very big challenge for law and order. It will not be wrong to say that in the areas affected by the naxal activities the Jungle Law is present. The police in these areas do not seems to offer any resistance. They don’t even consider the para-military forces. Every other day there are attacks on their convoys and prowl squads and sometimes they try to destroy them using landmines. No one can find an answer as to how can this matter be brought under control. The biggest proof is that no consensus can be arrived on this matter. Now matter of discussion is that whether to try and find the reasons and apply coercive methods or to give priority attention in solving the issues which have come up due to this. Some people say that absence of developmental works and general deprivation has created the present situation whereas some people have been saying that peace and prosperity is necessary to carry out developmental works and these naxals have destroyed this peace and prosperity.

What is the Government’s constraint

2009-07-28T12:14:00.000+05:30

On the occasion of the fifteenth summit of the non-aligned countries in Sharm -el-Sheik in Egypt , the Prime Ministers of India and Pakistan held a meeting. After 26^th November attack on Mumbai this was the second meeting between the two countries. Earlier in Yekaterinburg(Russia) during the summit of the Shanghai Co-operation Council Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had already had a meeting. On this occasion only, the announcement to start dialogue between India and Pakistan was made. On this occasion our Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh had to face a strange situation. In front of the journalists, addressing President Zardari he said that he wanted to make it clear that no talks would take place between India and Pakistan until Pakistan presents strong evidence that it had really taken steps against the people involved in the Mumbai blasts and the world is assured that some action is being taken. But his announcement became a comical speech and insulting too, this is so because immediately after the speech he had a detailed exclusive meeting with President Zardari. At that time this question came up that Prime Minister should have done either of the two things. Either he should not have given this speech and if he had made the speech than he should have been firm on it. But on one hand he gave this speech and on the other hand he not only had talks with zardari but he also made an announcement that in Sharm el-Sheikh meeting of the leaders of both the countries will take place and dialogue will also be started between them. Whereas according to the Government of India’s official stand Pakistan has not yet started taking any action against the people involved in the Mumbai blasts rather many decisions show that it is not even bothered. In spite of this our Prime Minister held a meeting with president Zardari and not only this that he had a meeting but afterwards gave a clarification regarding his disputed speech. Guess what was his constrain.

After Yekaterinburg, in Sharm el-Sheikh situation became even worse from India’s point of view. Here in the joint manifesto which was released an unconditional announcement was made for the talks to continue between India and Pakistan and it was decided not to link it up with terrorism, on which allegations are still going on. Voices are now being raised against it within the congress itself. Anyway the opposition parties are opposing it. The BJP and the communist parties are criticising them strongly. communist parties have even reached the extent of saying that the Government is doing it on the directions received from America. Pakistani Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani’s statement that India is interfering in the matters of Baluchistan has raised storm. During this time American Foreign Secretary Hillary Clinton visited India. It is being told that America’s presence was also being registered in Yekaterinburg. Simultaneously statements from some America’s higher military officers have come out. This joint manifesto created such a hue and cry that even the government got tensed and government officials time and again kept giving this clarification that it has nothing to do with the government’s stand. this went to the extent that on one hand the Foreign Secretary Shiv Shankar Menon said that this was bad drafting and Minister of State for External Affairs Shashi Tharoor tried to wash his off the matter by saying that this joint manifesto does not have the status of a legal document. After all what is this all about? Discussion are going on in the ambassadorial circles too and government is coming in the line of fire. One more news is that the manifesto was made at the last moment and the Prime Minister’s Office is responsible for it. It seems as if government of India is in deep confusion and at a time it is facing pressure from many directions and maybe now it not even in a position to take a decision to present it’s interests in an independent way.

Performance of Rights Commission

2009-07-28T01:00:00.000+05:30

People, who wanted that enquiry of Batla House event in Delhi be carried out by some non-affiliated agency or Human rights commission take notice of it because the huamn rights are violated by police in this event, by reading the commission's report they surely would feel disappointed. Commission had declared Delhi police as immaculate and completely faultless. Said, that police did not do any offense, did not violate anyone's human right, firing was done in its defence, if did not do that, they could die in "terrorists" hands. Means human rights commission repeated the same whatever Delhi police kept saying. Anyway the effort of knowing the facts by itself was not made by commission, it did so on the order of Delhi high court. In May, Delhi high court expressed concern that taking Batla house encounter, dissatisfaction exists among few factions, thus commission investigate the accusations. Two young men were killed in the Batla House area of Jamia Nagar in South Delhi in a police operation on 10th September last year. Their relation was shown with "Indian mujahideen." A week before that there were few bomb blasts in some areas of the capital on 13th September.

Frustration is valid, but....
Though the frustration of those is valid who got frustrated. Because they had some expectations from the human rights commission. Nevertheless, if they had this expectation or hopefulness during the period of 19th September to 26th November, there could some thing beneficial be happened. During that time many corners raised the questions against the government's proclamation about batla house. This sequence was getting through speeder everyday. The same time, in the context of Malegaon bomb blasts, the actual terrorism was getting unveiled too. The truth about Nanded, Kanpur and Samjhota express was coming out. If human rights commission would have worked during that time on batla house and present its report, then it could have satisfy the hopeful people. But after 26th and 27th of November after the Mumbai events, the situation changed. (Like the world situation after 11th september of Newyork events changed ) Now the circumstances have adopted a particular direction. The situation and events are being seen in other way. Justice and the standards of right and wrong are changing. Merit is worthless. If say it openly, the wind shows the symptoms of Jingoism, means extremist patriotism (nationalism) in which justice and honesty do not pass thorugh.

Analyze the entire scenario
That is why, seeing the rights commission's report seperately will be a big mistake. It should be seen as part of that scenario which rose in last eight months countrywide. Though the increasing relations with America and Israel, events of 11th September, American campaign against "terrorism" and last july deal between America and India, this picture is not any unexpected but till that time this Jingoism, "Patriotism" and anti muslim political contract was with BJP. 26th November operation was carried out to benefit that, after that Congress could have been no where. But Congress government hijacked 26th November and completely pulled that agenda from BJP and acting on that in a planned way and so well that snake dies without breaking of the stick, whereas the stick of BJP used to break. Silently a particular type of environment is being created in the country. In this series media was shameless and used to lack the honesty already, those political analysts who were known as open minded, are changing the language. Now the government and semi government agencies too are effected or being affected. Right commission's language over Batla house is meaningful. It is not known if the muslim leadership at large, upto what extent, is aware of the seriousness of the situation, even aware of it or not?

Moulana Madani Said

2009-07-25T13:27:00.001+05:30

"All the dangers of future, those are a lot in number, are only till the time we did not change our condition. But if we adopt islamic rules in our charecters and qualities, our emotions and inclinations, leave our own dangers, we can even eliminate the dangers of others. This is the efficacy of Islam and the good fortune of muslims that any nation which gets closer to its rules and ideology, that gets the satisfaction and good life. Change of condition does not mean that we get seperated from the Islamic ideology and Islamic charecter and civilization, but the change means that the distance which has been created, think that as a deadly disease and as soon as possible, we get as close to Islamic ideology and rules as we are to our soul our life and our hearts...". This discourse is an excerpt from the long presidential address of Shaikh-ul Islam Moulana Syed Hussain Ahmed Madani (R.A) which he delivered on 11th February of 1955 in the General Meeting of Jamiat Ulema Hind held in Kolkatta. All those issues were mentioned which nation of Islam was facing. (Book Jamiat Ulema Hind - Documents of Central meeting).

The situation was frightening
And that was the time when partition of the country was still recent. It was only eight (8) years for that. The muslim nation was passing through its problematic time. Small and big all organisations, institutions and mature personalities were engaged in bringing back the confidence in muslims and to connect them back to the life. In this case the most visible was the work by Jamiat Ulema Hind. A big difficulty was that a large portion of muslim nation was falling to misdemeanor due to the frustration, and for the muslim-nation leadership this situation was challenging. There were two tasks infront of the leadership. First was to take care of the belief and action, secondly to make it active in economical, social and educational forefronts. By telling this that "if we adopt islamic rules in our charecters and qualities, leave our own dangers, we can even eliminate the dangers of others", Shaikh-ul Islam in a sense denoted the purposeful duty of muslims. Means the muslim who beleives in One-ness of God, Prophethood and the day of resurrection, getting terrified by the frightening situation does not suit him. But his duty is that to think of the success and salvation of the entire human kind, strive to elimnate their dangers.

Circumstances even today are the same
It is quite possible that many do not fully agree with this interpretation, but including Shaikh-ul Islam, in the spirit of the writings, speeches and efforts all scholars of deoband philosophy and other knowledgable personalities, the fundamental point of view in their thinking seems like with reference to the book of God and prophet's tradition they not only wanted the progress of muslim nation but also the salvation of entire human kind, including the indian subcontinent. Apparently in their efforts the muslims thinking looks visible. But the aim is that if muslims progress and get empowered by becoming the true muslims then there will be justice established on the earth and the benefit will be to all the mankind. And Moulana Maudoodi's thinking was also the same that is as per the thinking of the scholars at large. The purpose of establishing Jamat-e-Islami was the same and it is even today. And also the situation is the same as 60 years ago it was.
Today, the circumsatnaces are even more complicated. The belief in Islam is directly under attack of deceptive forces. But the formula for the solution of all the problems is the same, which 55 years ago Moulana Madani mentioned, and on that basis an organisation was working already in the form of a movement. The need of the hour is that all these organisations, groups, institutions and prominent personalities get together and agree upon some course of action, and set forth the benefit of the day of resurrection, rising above all type of other benefits in this regard.

Danger of Spread of Atomic Weapons

2009-07-25T02:20:00.001+05:30

They say that overlooking these type of secret activities has resulted in the spreading of atomic weapons and technology from one country to the second and from there to the third country. The target of non expansion of atomic energy by the global community has proved unsuccessful. According to American naval forces a North Korean ship laden with paraphernalia had started for Kangnam, Myanmar and no one came to know what were the contents of the good laden ship? When the American navy tried to follow the ship it changed it’s route and came back to North Korea. This incident took place at the beginning of this month but no one knows what was inside it. American authorities have doubts that it was laden with military equipments and also nuclear weapons. Through South Korea’s detective agencies and the pictures taken by it’s eyes(artificial satellites)the experts in South Korea say that this ship was related to North Korea’s nuclear program and it had scud kind of missiles. American external affairs minister Hillary Clinton has also expressed concern over this matter who is in Thailand at this time. She said America knows that military co-operation is increasing between North Korea and Myanmar and this matter is quite alarming. America does not want that dangerous weapons spread through out the world. Before her President Barack Hussein Obama had said that the highest priorities of his Government include cleansing the world of the dangerous weapons and to put an end to arms race and to promote the program of reducing of weapons. From this point of view the co-operation and partnership between North Korea and Myanmar is not acceptable under any circumstances. So America will never give permission for this to happen.

America has expressed concern over the increasing ‘secret’ friendship between North Korea and Myanmar. Only recently America came to know about this ‘secret’ friendship, when it came to the knowledge of the American Naval Forces that one of North Korea’s ship mysteriously reached Myanmar and then came back quietly. One of America’s think tank, Institute for Science and International Security got similar kind of information regarding these ‘secret activities’. It’s Chief David Albright warned the American authorities that they should keep a close watch on them. This think tank feels that this ‘secret friendship’ is most probably related with the transfer of nuclear enrichment and technology. It is being told that whatever picture the American ‘eyes’ have developed indicate that martial partnership and co-operation between these two countries is increasing.. This picture shows that large scale excavation work and digging of tunnels is being carried out in Myanmar. Through these eyes the American authorities and the think tank have got the news that secret meetings have taken place between the higher authorities of both the countries. If Myanmar had these relations with any other country then no such doubts would have been raised but since this matter is related to North Korea therefore this doubt came up. Even though the American authorities and think tank also have the satisfaction that the matter is still in it’s initial stages. Attainment of atom bomb is still a distant dream. But it is necessary to keep a close check on this matter. If it is ignored then the matter can slip out of the hands as it happened with various other countries. Ignoring them has proved quite dangerous.

At the event of Sharm el- sheikh

2009-07-22T16:55:00.000+05:30

On 15th July, when the meeting of Non-Aligned movement leaders was going on, PTI from Cairo released a news with reference to the leader of "Alqaeda" Ayman Al Zawahery, that "If the people of Pakistan do not support militant groups then they will be likely to get the torment of Allah, existense of Pakistan is in danger because of America.... this is the duty of every Pakistani muslim that they support the ongoing Jihad in pakistan and afghanistan and give financial support to Mujahideen.." In the news, as usual, it is shown as , alzawahery (after osama bin laden) is the second powerful leader. (Indian Express / 16th July). The picture of alzawahery was given with the news too. Report was in detail. But what was the source of this news ? Did alzawahery gave this statement infront of PTI reporter ? Was that released from any usual office of "alqaeda" ? There was nothing like that. The source of the news was as usual. That is "radical islamic websites." and that is it. Any report related to alqaeda, osama bin laden, alzawahery comes, its source is always doubtful like this, dubious tapes, false voices, fake videos, unknown sites, blogs, portals. Means any mischievous can do this thing easily.

The aim was obvious
The aim of this news was obvious. This was released to bring attention of 118 countries leaders present in Egypt towards "islamic terrorism". Where as a large number of them was already attentive towards that. Because this movement does not have any particular agenda anymore. This fragile association was formed by the initiative of the Marshal of Yugoslavia Tito, Jamal Nasar of Egypt and Pandit Nehru of India, in 60's when America and Soviet Union were shadowing the world as clashing powers. The member countries of this movement claimed that they will be non-aligned in this matter, they will not join any one of them. But the fact is that the attachment of the most of the countries at that time too was there with either of the super power in some way, and their benefits were attached. And these attachments were getting more stronger. For example India and Pakistan both were member of this movement but Pakistan was under the influence of America and India used to have clear inclination towards Soviet Union. These two attachments were openly disclosed when Soviet Union indirectly occupied Afghanistan. Indira Gandhi government advocated the occupation with enthusiastic support. On the other side, America provided all type of support to Zia ul Haq government of Pakistan.

Is this really non-aligned?
And now when America has established its control over the entire world, non-alignment concept does not look anything more than the joke. Soviet Union friendly countries overnight changed their loyalties. And now every country is concerned only about its own survival, progress and prosperity which is not possible without America's favour. But the only message given by Sharm el-sheikh conference is that, these countires want to keep their club and for that they need one emotional issue on basis of which countries can mutually be connected and that should have the support of America too. It is their good fortune that, in the form of "terrorism" this issue is already there which not only has the support of America but also it created itself this issue with the tiltle "war on terror". And also what does it mean by terrorism, there is no need to tell this to countries. Thus many countries to get America's favour, raising this issue day and night. Our government too has taken the position and , target, just for sake of it, is Pakistan which itself is a partner of America in this campaign. In Sharm el-sheikh "non-aligned" countries, nominally raised the issues like world economy crisis, environment, global warming, poverty, and health too, but the more emphasis was on terrorism. Wickedness with reference to al-zawahery was actually to strengthen the same campaign. In this situation, expecting any serious business from so called non-aligned movement is of no use.

Conundrum in Indo-Pak Relations

2009-07-22T16:51:00.000+05:30

India and Pakistan’s relationship has no longer remained as the matter of two neighbouring countries, even earlier it was not a matter between two countries. Since beginning the bigger powers were interested in their matters, and this interest is not confined to futile talks rather they are fervently interested. America ,Britain have always been involved in it, China and Russia have also been involved directly. Britain as a former super power has been directly related and involved in these matters rather it can be said that whatever are the issues of India and Pakistan they are created by Britain. That is why it is natural to turn towards Britain for their solutions and in the same way Britain’s interest in them is also natural. So till today Britain’s plays an essential role. Whether it is the matter of the partition of India and Pakistan, defining the limits of Afghanistan and Pakistan border, the matter of establishing border between India and China, issue of Tibet, matter of communal violence or the problem of education, in any case every matter is created by Britain or it can be said it is the gift of Britain’s imperialist age. Naturally even today Britain has a record of all of them. Till today work is being done on them officially by the Government and their Think tank is also working on it in it’s own capacity. In the investigating agencies of Britain research and investigation about the different countries of the world is being carried out. This is the reason why today in Iran’s matter the role of Britain can be felt. In global leadership or rather monarchy America is now it’s closest successor., it might look bigger but it has to discuss with Britain and Britain still has the final say. Even in Indo-Pak matter Britain has a key role.

The matter of India and Pakistan holds so many aspects within it that it is not easy to encompass them but it is even not possible to ignore any one of them. In Pakistan on one hand there is the civil government and on the other hand there is the army and other secret agencies. The third group consists of the political parties. Public opinion has it’s own importance. Here one more factor is being added and that is the extremist Muslim group and no one can overlook them, neither the civil management, nor the armed leadership and the secret agencies and not even the political parties, even the foreign powers cannot overlook them. It is being said they are related to every group. Since the past few days a new division of soft-line and hard-line extremists have come up and in the matter of these soft-liners, America itself feels that talks can be carried out with them and they could be used to remove the hard-liners out of their way. Indo-Pak issue has become so badly entangled that it appears to be slipping out of the hands of both the countries. This is the reason why at times the situation becomes quite comical. Something similar happened in Yekaterinburg when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh made an announcement in front of the reporters that no dialogue will be started with Pakistan until some strong steps are taken in the 26^th November issue but not only he had to carry out talks with President Zardari moreover he had to announce that in Sharm-el-sheikh there will be a meeting at the level of head of states and to make a progress in the bilateral talks there will be a meeting of the foreign secretaries of both the countries. Later on the Prime Minister had to clarify that he didn’t wanted to insult President Zardari. He even forgot the presence of the reporters and now in Sharm-el-sheikh it was decided that the incident of 26^th November will not be linked with the bilateral talks.

Naxal violence and government funds

2009-07-19T16:48:00.000+05:30

A news from Jharkhand shows that to overcome naxal violence, the amount which was allotted,14 crores from that amount is missing and there is no account of that. In between July 2005 and March 2008, different times more than 4 crores amount was withdrawn from the related bank in Ranchi. 5 crore 60 lakhs from that, Director General of Police V.D.Ram has withdrawn on 16th March 2006. 15 days after that he gave the authority to Additional D.G.P. to withdraw and spend money from the bank. But according to Indian Express (10th July) detailed report, Mr Ram did not explain why he has withdrawn and where did he spend 5 crores and 60 lakhs. It is same in case of the rest of money. State of Jharkand is one of those states where Naxal violence is immense. Central and state governments spend lot of money every year against this danger. This money is given in the fund of secret service, which is spent according to the regulations of special branch manual. Police too got unlimited authority in taking action against naxals. It can act on any information or slight doubt.

Business of Informers
The important thing about the secret service fund is that this money is given to those police informers who provided, or will provide or can provide important information about destructive activities. Identity of these informers is kept completely confidential. Even for the top officials it is not revealed. Also who was paid the money, how much was paid, showing this is not necessary for police. Means the black and white of the secret service money police owns. This money is not even audited. It is obvious that if such big amount is given with so much authority to police officials, then complaints about misuse is useless. Accountant General office should, instead of seeking clarification from Jharkhand police officials, make amendments in special branch manual regulations. Present strategy not only favours police men and make them more and more corrupt but also produce new fraud, liers and cheating informers. Innocent people are caught. Police could not reach to real criminals. As a result violent activities continued. The entire business of secret agencies and police is run on relying these informers only.

And in case of the terrorism?
Now it can be imagined what could have been happening in the name of fight against terror. And the terrorism too is referred to a particular religious community which was discovered 15 years ago which became popular after so called 9/11. Fighting against naxal or maoist violence anyway, particular feeling or usual hatred does not work, where as in the new definition of terrorism these things work pretty much. And in this case governments too spend whole heartedly, police officers too wash hands in flowing ganga (River) and informers too encash it. And the unfortunate thing is that the informers mostly are found from the same community which is targeted. Who some times even take revenge on personal and organisational basis. The work of keeping an eye on muslim organisations, forums, institutions and noted personalities, the government of free india is doing since the day one, but in the changed situation this thing has shaped itself as cruelty, tyranny and state terrorism. Though in case of these particular "terrorism" government agencies and police do not need any informers, even without them they can do anything they want. Still, insisting on reforming the secret service fund and special branch manual regulations is required. In the present situation it has become necessary.

India-America Co-operation

2009-07-19T13:46:00.000+05:30

During the end of UPA’s first term, the treaty for partnership and co-operation of non-military nuclear energy which took place between India and America, although the process had started even earlier but the credit of taking it to the concluding phase goes to Dr. Manmohan Singh’s first UPA Government. They took up this step by taking up a lot of risks to the extent that they faced the threat of losing their power. Probably this is the reason why they regarded it as a great feat, that is why they summarised about it’s various benefits which the supporters of this pact have been speaking on their behalf. The biggest advantage of this pact which is being told is that it had brought an end to India’s solitude. The effort which India was making in order to progress in the field of nuclear energy, but their was a roadblock because it didn’t sign the NPT, the treaty relating to the prevention of widespread use of. atomic weapons. That is why in the field of nuclear energy the door to partnership and collaboration with other countries was closed. The countries which were a part of NSG were ready to co-operate with India provided it becomes a part of NPT. It should be clear that NSG is a group of 45 countries which sells equipments and technology related to nuclear energy. The pact with America had an advantage that this door opened up for India as America has become a guarantor that now India is no more a threat. Not only this, the global organisation keeping an eye on nuclear activities that is IAEA has also supported and confirmed this pact and many important affairs with India also took place. The Bush management had carried out the required actions by themselves. There also this debate had completed, now only the process of implementation was left.

The amount of interest shown by former American President George W. Bush and the display of making India their strategic partner, it’s demand was such that the new Government should have taken practical steps in this regard and taken it to the final destination, but the Obama Government did not show the same enthusiasm and interest, rather some other things came in its priority. Rather those people who had good notions in this matter got disheartened by the new American Government. Some of the policies of the new American Government seemed to have an anti-Indian face specially in matters of terrorism and Pakistan. This point has been raised time and again by them that in spite of Pakistan’s record in front of the whole world it is being showered with aids. The American agencies know that it has used the American aid in a wrong way and it is being presented with proofs. In spite of all this America never paid any attention to it and now a new issue has come up on the occasion of G8 Summit. The issue is that in the matter of nuclear energy the G8 have passed a resolution and have made co operation and partnership conditional with NPT. Different sectors of the country have tried to bring to notice the Government’s attention to this matter and the opposition also raised this issue in the Parliament. An explanation has been demanded by the Government but the Government ignored this doubt by saying that it has no relation with the India-America pact, even though a strong ground is present for this doubt because this resolution is passed by America’s consent and it has no place for exception. That means if America wants then it can even use it and the India-America pact in itself has room for it. America has a right to reconsider it’s decision. Government should not underestimate this concern and therefore it is not right to ignore it.

News Coming from Pakistan

2009-07-16T22:00:00.000+05:30

It seems by the news coming from pakistan that the government there is busy day and night to crush the "terrorism" within the country, in the name of taliban killing those muslims who are practising religious commandments, intimate, self-esteemed and run madarsahs, or look by appearance like Afghanistan's Taliban. Government of Pakistan calls them all terrorists or supporters of terrorists. A large portion of Pakistani media too says that. And America has given this agenda to government of Pakistan. On Pak-Afghan border America is present with all its strength and controling the entire Pakistan. "President" Zardari and "Prime Minister" Geelani are just the puppets. To the disliked citizen of Pakistan to America, one side, the Pakistani agencies, police and Pakistan army is killing and the other side America is directly killing. A drone named plane just bombard from where ever it wants. Actions against "terrorists" is on everyday, and their alleged bases are destroyed. Along with this, news reports are also coming that the government of Pakistan is tightening the cuff on those whom India government accused as the planners of Mumbai attacks and ordered pakistan to take action against them.

And the Government of India and Media
But if the statements of India government and media reporting and analysis are observed, it seems that the government of pakistan is doing one and only one thing and that is the terror activities against India. The accusation is not just that pakistan land is being used for that but the pakistan as a country and as its policy, doing that, like Prime Minister, Foreign Minister, Deputy foreign minister, foreign affairs secretary, national security advisor, Home Minister, deputy home minister showing the entire world day and night. And like the recent statement of Prime Minister which he gave on board a flight while coming back from Italy on 11th July talking to media, "We in Italy, in the G8 and G5 meetings and before that urged the world leaders that pressurise Pakistan to leave the way of terror and adopt the way of friendship." Indian rulers have no interest that what pakistan government is doing to crush its own citizen whom America labled as terrorists, they just say that Pakistan stop terror activities against India. It looks like that the structure of entire Foreign Affairs, policies and planning is prepared keeping only Pakistan in consideration. S.M.Krishna after taking charge as Foreign Minister, first statement (within few minutes of oath) was that Pakistan punish the culprits of Mumbai attacks.

Un-aligned thinking
In this situation, an unaligned analyst can think that why government of India is so worried taking Pakistan whereas there is no equality in between the two countries from any aspect. Pakistan is passing through the worst days of its history. Rulers have surrendred the country to America and carrying out its every order. It looks obvious that the present rulers there, have no concern for the existence or survival of Pakistan. To India government as well, such friendly, more-over obedient rulers in Pakistan were never found before. Any responsibility which is being put from here, it is being accepted there. No resistance, no hesitation. Thus against such already dead country, statement every morning and evening and campaigning is appropriate for a great and strong country who wants to become the considerable power of the world ? Our foreign ministry does not have anything left ? And by this the world analysts will not take the outcome as if the scope of our foreign ministry has become limited after the close friendship and relations with America ? And if this is to keep that patriotism or that political group which jump around by raising such sensitive and provoking issues, then Sonia Gandhi, Dr Manmohan singh and central cabinet should farseeingly think that is this way helpful to make our country prosperous and a big power ?

Issue of Food

2009-07-16T17:25:00.000+05:30

In the earthquake hit city of Italy, L’Aquila, G8 Summit took place in which the head of states of five developing economies of the world also participated. In this meeting where other matters and affairs came under discussion the issue of food also came up. In this matter also the leaders of the world expressed their perspectives but collectively this view came forward that in the matter of food a strong plan of action should be developed which includes the aggregate of all it’s aspects, even then more stress was put on one issue and that was the issue of food security. Earlier one report was given by the world organisation in which another aspect was highlighted. Relating to this food issue, the global organisation that is United Nation’s branch FAO keep publishing reports from time to time in which they try to highlight various issues. From these reports it can be estimated that the food crisis is a bogus crisis and it has no relation to the increasing population. This means it is wrong to say that the food crisis is due to increase in population, this is so because in spite of all hindrance and issues the growth in the production of food is more than the growth of population and at this time too the food chattels are available in much more quantity. There is a lot of scope to fulfil the human requirement because large tracts of land are available which can be made suitable for agriculture. If the irrigation system is improved and needed up gradation is made in the ways of agriculture, proper storage of food grains is done and the inappropriateness are removed from the system of distribution of food grains then this artificial crisis can be brought under control easily.

It can also be assessed from the reports of the world organisations that some countries in order to fulfil certain needs pay stress on growing certain specific kind of things. This also has caused the problem of shortage of food. It is being told that this matter is more serious in the African countries. If this matter is studied than it is found that even there this matter looks like an artificial one. It’s fundamental reason is the absence of political stability. Due to lack of peace and prosperity, day to day life is being crippled. If these countries get a chance to achieve peace and stability than they will be able to pay attention to solve their own issue. Where on one hand they will try to solve their political, economic and social issues on the other hand they will try to take their country on the path of development and make it self-dependent. In matter of food production they will try to get the status of self dependence. At this time if we cast a glance over these countries then we will find that farming is very less here, same is the condition of Latin American countries too, even though they have land fit for agriculture other than that the fallow areas can also be made suitable for agriculture and in this way they can fulfil their food requirements. It is required that the global body help them in this matter but the situation is quite opposite. Due to widespread unrest it is difficult for them to think about the development of the country. As a result they have to depend on others for their food needs. On the other hand the situation of some other countries is that they have surplus food grains and they bring it in the global markets and sell them at their own rates. Not only that the surplus food grains in some countries decay and get wasted. What is the solution of this situation. Does the world organisation has any plan or it’s work is just to publish reports.

G8 Summit

2009-07-13T12:47:00.000+05:30

The G8 Summit, just concluded in the earthquake hit city of L’Aquila in Italy. On this occasion head of the states of five developing nations came together on a special invitation, they included our country too. Although in this summit all the important issues of the world were discussed and all the head of the states of the countries who attended the summit presented their country’s perspective on all these global issues some proposals also came forward, some decisions appeared to have come out but the collective impression remained the same, because no way of understanding could be established between the developed and developing countries as both remained firm on their perspectives. Whether it the economic situation of the world or the dangerous increase in the temperature levels, the condition of trade and commerce or the political conditions, the point of view of both worlds have a basic difference in every matter which is always present. Everyone has a consensus, that some solution should be devised for the economic crisis which the whole world is facing but the developed countries have a different opinion and the developing countries have a different point of view. The developed countries don’t seem to share the same opinion, because in this matter the point of view of American and Britain does not coincide with that of France and Germany. France, Germany and it’s other European allies feel that America and Britain are responsible for the global economic crisis and they call their economic point of view as Anglo-Saxon Capitalism. The economic outlook which they prefer ,they call it Regulated Capitalism. They feel that the present economic crisis is the result of Anglo-Saxon Capitalism. The European countries strongly dislike certain steps taken up by America which they call as Protectionism.

In the same way no one has any opposition to the fact that there is an increase in the global temperature and the pollution of air and water should be rectified but even here both the worlds have a huge difference in opinion. The developed countries want the whole world to participate in it and according to it the reasons for it are something else. On the other hand the developing countries say that the basic reason for the increase in global temperature is the increase in uncontrolled discharge of carbon-di-oxide and other harmful gases which is due to the developed nations. A survey shows that the America’s share in this discharge is 20 tonnes per head yearly, Australia discharges 18 tonnes poisonous gases per head yearly , Britain and Germany follow closely and India releases just 1tonne per head yearly. The contribution of other developing countries is very less, in spite of this they are blamed that they are equally involved in it. The developed countries say that in the third world countries due to poverty and unemployment people are taking up such means of earning a living which is affecting the ecological balance, these include cutting down of forests which influence the rainfall. In this G8 Summit, an announcement was definitely made to save the environment but in what way will it be done and what steps will be taken by the developed nations in it, no solid plan of action has been presented for it. Will they try and prepare a program to lower the levels of discharge of harmful gases and take coercive measures in this regard, nothing has been spoken on this matter too. One thing which is surely stressed is that free trade should be promoted. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in his speech said that until and unless the developed countries fulfil their responsibilities no proceedings can be expected in this matter.

A goodnews from the Supreme Court

2009-07-13T01:58:00.000+05:30

The entire muslim community of the country might have read it with pleasure in the 7th July Newspapers, that Justice Katju of Supreme Court has taken back his statement which he made on 30th March ruling out a petition of one student in a case regarding the beard. A convent student of Madhya Pradesh Mohammed Saleem's petition to get permisiion for keeping beard, Justice Katju said" Beard is a symbol of Talibanism and we do not want Taliban in this country, permission can not be granted for Talibanizing the country, tomorrow if any female student come and seek permission to go in class with Burqa, if permission should be given to her, expanding the sheet of secularism above its limit is not right..." It is obvious that this statement though was not part of the judgement and was just oral comment, was provoking, heart-breaking and irresponsible. Anyway these mean comments do not suit to not only for supreme court, for any other court's judge, not at all for the personality like Justice Katju. Because he is well known as a civilized, well-mannered and responsible individual. That is why his remark, to many, was shocking and painfull.

This is certainly uprightness
Now on 6th June two membered bench of supreme court, one of the members Justice Katju himself, took back their first order and expressed grief over Justice Katju's statement and said apologizing, " during the hearing, one of us (Justice Katju) passed some remarks, but those were not meant to upset, but if that caused to hurt anyone's feeling, he ask for pardon and express grief over the entire matter." Mohammed Saleem challenged the 30th March order and said that his petition be sent to some other bench because Justice Katju is not fair in this case. In 6th June hearing bench said this case will be sent to Chief Justice so that he refer to some other bench. Other Judge of the bench was R.V.Ravindran. Muslim welcoming this new action of the court, show contentment over Justice Katju's statement and think it his uprightness. The fact is that this apology is appropriate to his personality and previous statement was contradictory to his personality. The faithfulness is that on 30th March immediately after statement Justice Katju himself realized his error.

Meetings should be held with Justice
There is a history of Indian Judges irresponsible and some times even prejudiced remarks. These remarks come from judges of different level courts. Few among them are the part of actual judgements but often dissolved in air after coming out of tongues. The events of taking back their remarks by judges happened very rarely. In this situation this act of Justice Katju is indeed historical. By this not only muslims, all justice loving citizen are glad. Anyway immediately after 30th June few muslim clerics had meetings with Justice Katju and he admitted that he is sorry over his statement. For example famous lawyer Professor Tahir Mahmood met Justice on 3rd April and infomred that Justice is sorry over his comments. Then, many corners did not take is seriously, but now on 6th June after the formal apology it has become clear that the information was true. Now muslim personalities of repute should meet Justice Katju and congratulate him and if get a chance have some discussion over other rituals of Islam too. Like reagrding Pardah (Veil) , prohibition of interest, prohibition of liqour, killing daughters in mother's womb, homosexuality etc.

What the slogan of New World Order was?

2009-07-10T18:14:00.000+05:30

In the early 90's when Washington raised the slogan of New World Order, everyone was looking at it with his own eyes, and making assumptions as per his thoughts and mindset. This was the time when the 65 years long cold war with Soviet Union was over and the shade of unipolar system was roving around the world. Then in the Gulf, first by making Saddam Hussain to occupy Kuwait and immediately after crushing Iraq America the brave, gave a message to the world that what it likes, is going to happen in the world now. Any country, will be made its friend, loyal and obedient, the way it likes. Who ever will disobey will be destroyed. Any country which will be a danger for the terrorism of Israel, will be crushed. For those who keep an eye on the history of oppressors and transgressors, it was not difficult to understand that, ideologically, any system which will come to parellel with the American system, has to face the war which was raged to eradicate Russia 65 years ago. But still most of the countries in the world were neither fully aware of the ultimate goal of America, nor they had any problem with it. As such, that many among them did not even care about their traditional culture, their civilization and morality.

This tendency towards the western values.
This was the reason that countries were changing the loyalty fast, bunch over bunch were going into American fold, those countries who had soft corner already, also those who were immaculately loyal to Soviet Union. These countries not only just accepted the American style economics by moving ahead but also gave a good eye for anything which came along with that. And our country too is one among those countries who blindly laid the eyes and heart in the way of American life-style. Opened all the doors for everything coming in the name of Globalization. In the name of birth control not only just allowed the sexual amiss but also encouraged it and took part in its growth with the help of the world health organisation funds for radio, television and newspapers advertisement and started such announcements and advertisements that the virtuous people felt it suffocating. Abortion is no more a crime. Even every facility for that is available, no matter what sort of pregnancy is that. The nuisance of sex education in the educational institutions is the reward of that same globalization and American life style. This type of many imitations are being adopted in the name of progress. The culture of metro cities is turning very fast into American culture.

The recent example of passionate love.
And the recent example of this passionate love with western values is that verdict of the Delhi high court which was given on 2nd July in a Homosexuality related case. This judgement has given a new life for an unusual type of cursed men and women, that they will become more free, fearless, bold, and shameless. Lady president of the Naz foundation who is fighting for their case said, "Now India has entered in the 21st centuary in true meaning." Government is silent. Congress is looking here and there. BJP as a political party is quite. Media is just talking pointless and rubbish. Virtuous people are breathless. And those who keep an eye on the trend of country's affairs are asking as if this type of verdict was possible 20 years ago ? Not just this, any such cursed thing and any such moral distraction a while ago was possible ? Western world is very worried by the population of India. America by the institutions at its own expense teaching the ways to control population to the Government of India. Is this decision of promoting the homosexuality, continuation of the same.? Is this love towards western values is suitable for any self-esteemed country who has its own moral values ? If this is not the fascination for materialistic progress of the west and not the emergence of the American friendship, then what else it is ?

General Budget

2009-07-10T15:35:00.000+05:30

The budget for the current fiscal year which the Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee presented on Monday (6^th July), as usual has received mixed reactions. On one hand the governing body in which Congress was leading termed it as an excellent budget whereas the opposition on the other hand expressed despair. The biggest opposition party Bhartiya Janata Party says that this budget has not given any direction to the country’s economy. Where the congress men have termed it as ’common man’s budget’ the opposition says that they have done nothing special for the common man. The ruling party says that they have announced relief for the farmers whereas the opposition feels that no strong steps have been taken to console the agricultural class. At the same time some other states have the complaint that they are being neglected and the budget is under the canopy of politics. It is being told that the favours announced for the farmers will benefit only big farmers, there is nothing for the common and small farmers because only those farmers can benefit from these favours who have at least two hectares of land. On one hand it is being said that the relaxation given to the tax payers will be quite beneficial for the common man but many people also say that now a days discount of ten thousand rupees is meaningless. One group feels that the ideas presented for the removal for poverty are quite important and the relief plans which are announced are also important while others feel that no doubt relief plans have been announced for the poor but relief plans have also been announced for the rich and hence the gap between the rich and the poor instead of becoming less will remain as it is.

Those people in the country who wished to see an increase in privatisation at a rapid rate even they feel that this budget is not promising enough because the supporters of privatisation felt that new sectors will be opened up for privatisation and some new schemes for rapid privatisation will come up. But no such announcement was made in this budget rather it is said that Government banks and insurance companies will not be privatised. No announcements were made regarding education and safeguarding of health although a lot of importance is being given to education and health in developed countries and this is necessary to keep the country moving on the path of development. One main and important aspect of this budget is the increase in the fiscal loss. Global slump in the market had it’s effect on all the economies of the world naturally how could India remain untouched by it. But all the economies made some or the other efforts in order to face it. India’s fiscal loss shown in this budget is 6.8%. How will this loss be regained and what will be the way to do it? Experts say that the budget is mum on this matter and this is a matter of concern. Naturally this loss will be regained by taking loans which in turn will increase national loans and increased dependence and we have to work according to the conditions set by the loan giver. This will not only hamper economic development it might also cause a blow to the interests of the country. Many experts have raised this issue and tried to draw the Government’s attention towards it. It is clear that a debate will take place on it and the plans in the budget will be considered at all levels. It is expected that the Government pays heed to the opinions which come up in this regard.

Liberahan Commission’s Report

2009-07-07T09:29:00.000+05:30

After seventeen years of long ‘investigation’ and enquiry the Liberahan Commission submitted it’s report to the Government but will the Government put it up for debate in the parliament or will it put it in the cold storage or they will delay it by making an excuse of presenting it with the action taken report, this is still not clear. Till now it is evident from the speeches of some of the important and senior Congress leaders that the Government at present is not ready to disclose the report as it is. In the mean time debate and dispute, and verbal fights between Congress and Bhartiya Janta Party have started. This is an ancient attitude, Late Narsimha Rao in order to escape from his responsibility used to treat the BJP guilty. He presented the aspect of betrayal and the BJP put the same blame on Congress as it was in power at the Centre at that time. This series of blame game is going on since ages. The result of keeping the matter pending for seventeen years is that many things have become obsolete and many characters have vanished from the scene. One more aspect which is worth mentioning rather it is quite significant is that there was no hint even a few days before that the commission was planning to submit it’s report to the Government, rather it looked as if once again there will be an extension in the period for the commission to submit it’s report but all of a sudden now the commission has submitted it’s report before the Government.

A demand has been raised by the Muslim organisations that the Government presents the report as it is in front of the Parliament so that a detailed debate can be carried out on it and the world comes to know the result of seventeen long years of investigation. Precisely it can also be assessed as to who is involved in this evil deed and what is his share in it ? It is useless to wait for the action taken report and sheer waste of time. Some of the political parties are also supporting this demand. They also agree that there should be debate on the report and truth should come out in front of the world. In the same way it is also said that it is not right that the Government should censor any part of the report with the excuse that it might not be good from perspective of peace and that part comes under internal secret. But in the meantime Delhi High Court’s judgement regarding the abolishing of Article377 which was pending since last eight years, has come. The announcement of this verdict made the whole country mad with glee. The media is publicising it at such a large scale as if it has gained the happiness of the whole world and as if this was the most important and sensitive issue of the country. It seems as if it has attracted everyone’s attention towards it. Rest all the issues have taken a back seat. It is being told that the Central Government is also paying attention to it. The issue of judgement at this time is worth pondering, it has suppressed all the other important issues.

The objection is quite valid

2009-07-07T02:26:00.001+05:30

There is an objection on the Librahan commission that why it took so much time in completing its task. It took sixteen years and six month in presenting the report. This question or objection is quite valid. The task was of three (3) months, and that was the time central government had given it. Because everything was pretty clear. Every big and small illicit was in sight. Many among them were accepting the crime they did, the reasons and motives were obvious. Who gathered the crowd of lakhs, who gave the weapons, lathis, and the destructive stuff in their hands, who made them chanting exasperating slogans, whose mind was behind the demolition, whose hands did it. Everybody was aware of the people gathering and the people arranging the gathering, all their activities, their chants, their statements and announcements. That is why the time of three months and spending few lakhs for that was enough. But in December 1996 the 53 years old Judge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court started working, then after retiring from the government job in 2000, he finished the task in 2009 at the age of 70. The extension of time was requested 48 times not two or four. Made some Eight (8) crores expenditure from the government treasury. Most of that was spent on the salaries of the staff.

But is only commision responsible?
But for this unusual delay, is Justice Manmohan Singh Librahan responsible alone ? Not at all. Rather this is all political game. And for this, the timid, compromising, not-keeping-promise central government of that time (which is the present government too) is responsible. Rather that is the one to be held responsible. In this so called secular party and its government there is not any such courage that it can say the oppressor, an oppressor and oppressed to one who is oppressed, can fight the communalism, tie in th control over the criminal politicians, punish the culprits. Why Justice Librahan took 17 years, to solve this, it is required that the political events till now right from the day one should be recalled in mind. When the Kalyan singh government resigned on 6th December 1996 afternoon, the administration of the state shifted in the hands of central government through the Governor, then whatever happened was under the central administartion. Culprits of destruction were sent home safely and with respect. Idols, which were removed before attack on Masjid, placed there overnight, and government did not resist, whereas those who placed the idols back were themselves involved in the demolition of Masjid.

The story of timorous and injustice
The media of entire world witnessed that the central government promised (announced) to rebuild Masjid immediately after the accident, but within few days turned back, why did it turn back ? It is Very important question. Another thing which was the masterpiece act of
1) Oppression 2) Injustice and 3)Timidness, what that government did was, alongwith the parties who demolished Masjid, imposed the ban also on the organisation which always tried, working with the Masjid Rabita Commitee to reconcile and find the peaceful solution. Anyhow this injustice was also the helplessness of that government and ruling party, as that does not have the courage of fighting face to face with oppressors, destroyers, fascists, cruels, and fake patriots. It feared that if it acted only against the culprits, then their supporters who are there, in every government agency along with a particular group of people, will turn away and it will go out of power. But even deeper fact is that the soft corner for fake patriots and the sensation of hatred towards the religious values of the oppressed was also working in background. The factors for delay in Librahan report within itself is a topic for research and analysis. World media might be certainly looking at it interestingly.

Is it the same opinion of all ?

2009-07-04T13:15:00.000+05:30

It should not be understood by the statement of French President about Islamic hijab (veil) that this is the opinion of all non-muslim citizen of France. Having different opinion about this campaign of Sarkozy are even there within his cabinet. Minister for water supply Eric Bason says that thoughtlessly banning the Hijab (veil) is not appropriate, it will create anxiety. But more meaningful over that is what Miss Ramaya Daye said, who is a Junior Minister for human rights, that "if this ban is aimed for protecting those women who are forced to wear Burqa (veil) then i am ready to support this (ban)." (Associated Press 23rd June News Papers). Those who keep watching the background of this campaign of the French President can understand the condition (if) of this woman minister. In the Western world in common and in the France in particular, this thinking is usual and propaganda for this is done as well that muslim women do not observe Hijab (veil) willingly, but their men (husband, father, brother and elders) force them for that. This thinking is even being tried to be fed into the minds of muslim women.

The world may question.
It is quite possible that by this hue and cry of France the world might be thinking that all the muslim women there use the veil (France has 50 lakhs muslim population) but if the world is made aware of this fact that the ratio of women observing veil in France is less, that too very less. Some where, one or two, then the world may ask that if that is the situation then why so much noise and chaos ? This uproar of the France government could be understood when all muslim women observe hijab (the veil). Just people of the world can ask that if the France is a democratic, enlightened and the free country, why there is obstacle for the choice of muslims ? By few women covering their heads, what disaster will knock the civil society of the France. Is it so weak ? It is neverthless what the politics of France will answer to this, but the people of veil (hijab) answer it that their fear is not understandable. Because the shyness is the natural feeling of a woman no matter whihc religion which country and which region she beongs to. Though west has oppressed this jewel under the lust but it can rise anytime. And the shrewd western mind does not want to let it rise.

Is the actual fear is with Islam?
And the same situation is with other values and rulings of Islam. If the economic system of Islam is let to flourish, it will end the system of interest and the capitalists and interest collecting financiers will go bankrupt. Likewise, the monitory resources will reach to the poor people as well. Thus the actual fear is with Islam. There are two types of behaviours about Islam right now. One is the people of Islam who apart from the lakhs of shortcomings, not ready to withdraw from their religion, other one is its opponents, who using the strength of wealth, politics, and media upholding the cause of making the entire world afraid of Islam. But there is a third behaviour too which is not aligned. A large portion of the human population is watching all this with much curiosity and surprise. Behaviour of the anti-Islam elements of the west is infront of them, who claim living up to the freedom of expression and freedom of choice, but could not see a piece of cloth on the muslim women's heads.? The history of the human psychology shows that this curiosity will bring colour. And within the western countries voices are raising against this behaviour like it is indicated by the two french ministers opinions.

These Allusions against The Veil (Hijab)

2009-07-01T23:23:00.001+05:30

If Nicholas sarkozy would have just said as "The Veil (Hijab) is not acceptable in France", his purpose could be over, and his comment would have been taken as it is taken in other western countries. But by mentioning the reasons for not accepting the veil, he weakened his case (It was not strong earlier though). The allusions French President made against the veil (hijab), if analyze media, those come as follows, 1) This seems like taking away the freedom of women making them slaves. 2) The veil (hijab) makes women slave and 3) makes them helpless. 4) This is making women forcibly obedient and following. 5) The veil takes women away from their foundation. 6) Cuts them out from social life. 7) Seizes their identity from women. 8) Making covered in clothe hide womens faces. 9) Takes away women's honour from them. Where these allusions of Sarkozy show the literal ignorance of him about Islam and Islamic values, the same time, the usual prejudice of Europe too becomes visible. Their only support is the propaganda which is aggressively continues now a days to defame Islamic values. Anyway this criticism about the veil by Sarkozy looked funny, because he is a guy of playful nature, a while ago he married a very early age model.

From another perspective
It was very painful for muslim, Sarkozy's comments, as by the national and international media their views expressd, but if looked by another perspective, this is a golden chance for presenting the Islamic values to the international community. The background of the French President's comments is that, there about sixty (60) members of the Parliament run a movement for making a Parliamentary commission to study the veil and finally ban it completely. But, muslims there, are against the commission being suggested. Like the President of the representing Muslim Council of France, Mohammed Musawi told that, by this, the chance of defaming muslims be raised. Why such inferiority ? It has to be thrown away. It is actually western nations who have inferiority complex. They are afraid of the moral strength of Islam that it will eat up their disgraceful society. Sarkozy actually made the task easy for muslims. Means whatever he could say against the veil, he did. Nothing more to say for him. Very stupid, baseless and contrary allusions, which can easily be rejected.

Prepare for debate
The muslim citizen of France should prepare for debate. If commission is formed, muslim groups should appear and Introduce the Islamic system of life, because to understand the veil, understanding the Islamic way of life is necessary. But before hand it should be made clear that freedom of women, honour and grace, woman's chaste and immaculate (The people of west probably not even aware of these words) and what should be the standard of her progress and protection ? West has its own standards and Islam has a standard too. It should be questioned as the grace of woman is in making her an entertaining, sex toy and to make her a means to sell luxury stuff, or to protect her natural shyness, and to provide her all freedom and facilities to build a family ? It should also be asked to commission that the veil is woman's freedom or slavery ? force or choice ? who will decide that ? The lawmaking body of France or those women who observe the veil (hijab) ? In the first stage, the survey of muslim women in france should be done as what their opinion is. After that those converted muslim women should be asked in Europe and America who by leaving the "freedom" why adopted "slavery" of the veil (hijab) ? Commission should be knowing that it would find a lot of muslim women who do not observe the veil but none among them see the faults which Sarkozy has counted on.

Why is there disquiet in Europe?

2009-07-01T09:51:00.000+05:30

The discussion on the issue of hijab in France is being dragged day by day and the western mass media is presenting the matter in such a way as if this has divided the French society into two parts. It should be recalled that France is home to a large Muslim population and the reason for this is that geographically France is closer to the west and since ancient times France has connections with the west. Large number of Muslim immigrants from the west are still settled here. Once upon a time France ruled Algeria, in this way also the to and fro movement of Muslims from Algeria is going on since a long time. Even today a considerable amount of Algerian Muslims are settled in France. Other than this natives from various Muslim countries in North Africa are also living here. Like other European countries, France is also facing the problem of immigrants. Although the presence of immigrants is their compulsion as well as need, because France like other European and western countries requires hard working people. Like the other European countries the birth rate is decreasing here and the average life span is increasing which is creating a big issue for these countries and the issue is the fast decline in the labour class. Working class includes skilled as well as semi skilled people. High class professionals also fall under this category and at this time the European countries are is facing shortage of such people at all levels. This deficit is fulfilled by foreign people. Therefore this is their problem that they cannot get rid of these people, so now the foreigners live here with their traditions, culture and beliefs. They cannot be deprived of this. This is so because the western countries call themselves the flag bearers of democracy and chant the slogans of religious freedom.

This is not an issue of France alone rather all European and western countries are affected by it. Now the Muslim population which is present here or the one which is coming, is on one hand a part and parcel of the western culture and on the other hand such people are also present who not only want to preserve their own culture, they also have the burning desire to inspire others with the blessed system. When they presented this blessed system, then it created a stir among the local people because since ages the west has invested all his efforts in search for serenity. His restless soul did not get respite anywhere. He did many experiments, became a hippie, and followed various other paths but his soul did not find solace anywhere. This restlessness and search of tranquillity attracted him towards the blessed system too. Thereby a process of embracing this blessed system started. But some people did not like this act because it threatened to shatter their dreams of monarchy. Therefore they devised such a plan that they engulfed the whole world in a kind of fear. They presented the divine system as a nightmare. At this time in Europe and anywhere else in the world where people are made to dream this this nightmare, their real aim is to stop the advancing steps of the world towards this divine system. New ways have been devised for this. Some where the matter of hijab is raised while at other places selected and divine personalities are targeted in the name of religious freedom. Recent Presidential elections in Iran is also being used for the same aim and there is an attempt to keep the people in the west in a state of constant fear.

Searching reasons of the defeat

2009-06-28T09:49:00.001+05:30

The parties and groups who literally got defeated in the recent lok sabha elections, the aliance of left parties is one among them, Marxist Communist Party (CPM) is the largest party of that. Though immediately after results, its party leaders statements were coming, in those, the acceptance of the mistakes was there, a glimpse of self assessment was there as well, and some what criticism on one another was there too. But in the third week of the month of June, party's central commitee meeting held in Delhi, in which the reasons for the defeat and other issues were discussed in detail as where were the mistake. It was also observed that what has been done which was not supposed to be, and what is not done which was supposed to be. Also that what should be done in future. This feeling was common that in the previous lok sabha with 61 members left parties role which used to be effective, now with 24 members that performance is not possible. Marxist party atleast in its inner discipline is a democratic party. On issues and problems, open and frank discussion take place in its forums. According to the reporting of the meeting, this point was discussed in particular that in the changed political scenario what should be the party's policy.

Fundamental philosophy and its flaw
But in the Newspaper reports there was not even a sign that Communist Party feels to reconsider its fundamental philosophy. Party's goal and objective is definitely good, that is poverty be removed, basic needs of all citizen be fulfilled, labour class not be exploited, monitory resources not be concentrated in the hands of few individuals or families. All the Communist Parties of the world derived this philosophy from the thoughts and theories of Karl Marx the 19th centuary German philosopher, who wrote a book named "Das Capital". The biggest drawback of this philosophy was that denying The God is the basic charecteristics in it. In Marx opinion, the root cause of the crooked, unrest, poverty and exploitation. The second drawback was that it supported equal distribution of the monitory resources instead of the just distribution, which is untrue, unrealistic, and impractical claim. And also it encouraged violence as needed, that is wealth and land from rich, industrialists and landlords could be forcibly snatched. Thus it was a call for status based unrest.

If they are firm on their objectives
Indian communists also started working on the exactly same philosophy. But failed, because this unnatural ecanomical philosophy died by itself after living 56 years. Indian communists surrendered to Capitalism, but it looks by their talk that they are still firm on their objectives. If that is true then they should dare and with courage, honestly study the economic ideology of Islam. Zakat and charity , prohibition of interest, interest free banking system, encouraging interest free loan and issue alike, worth understanding for them. But if they want to understand this economic ideology easily, then they should study this entire system for human life and see what is the Islamic system of life. We are not sure if The Quran reached to Kael Marx, and if reached what was his behaviour towards that, but it can surely be said that if in the light of his goals and objectives, also with the sympathy and mercifulness which nature had given him for humanity, if Karl Marx would have studied Islam and The Quran, his followers would not have seen these days.

The Mischievousness of the “Progressive People”

2009-06-28T09:47:00.000+05:30

American President Obama, through his various speeches has tried to instil in the minds of the Muslims that now America no longer works on the policy of hatred and enmity with Islam and Muslims. He has given many speeches regarding the practical steps taken in this matter but the echo of these speeches had not even dispersed in the air and they can be seen trying to force this policy on Iran. Whether it is Turkey or Algeria or Palestine, where ever the pro-Islam forces with the help and support of the public, appear to come to power through the system invented and beloved by the west that is democracy, then the Christians, Zionists and other fascist forces leave no stone unturned in sabotaging their favourite system. They disliked the revolution, which arose in Iran in the name of Islam from day one. They are creating hurdles in its path and investing all their energy in opposing them even though the Iranian public is helping and supporting them with majority of votes in a democratic way. Specially throughout his last term Ahmedi Nejad was being forced to violate it but finally losing hope here, this time they have put in all their energies in interfering in the internal matters of Iran and have woven a strong net of conspiracies and planning. They have termed Ahmedi nejad as a conservative and fundamentalist extremist, flag bearer of Islam and established their puppet Mir Hussein Mousavi against him as their favourite candidate for the post of President in the elections. He gained fame as a progressive all over the world. In his own country, this campaign was carried forward by sinister and corrupt people. But in spite of all these efforts, the Iranian people realising what actually Mousavi is, regarding the honour and dignity of Islam and their homeland Iran more than their own lives whole heartedly supported Ahmedi Nejad for the next term as President. This enraged and aroused America and it’s allies and they started following their traditional ways in Iran. They destroyed the peace and prosperity of Iran. They became ardently involved in tearing the self dependence, freedom and self confidence of Iran into shreds. To maintain an environment of peace and well being in the country the spiritual leader of Iran Ayatollah Khamenei, tried many diplomatic efforts in order to pacify the protestors and demonstrators. He made an announcement for recounting of votes but the protestors knew that recounting of votes will not be a solution in this matter as Ahmedi Nejad won with more than 60% votes and the remaining candidates were partners in the remaining 40% and the darling of the Christians, the Zionist and the fascist powers Mir Hussein Mousavi could only muster 30% votes, no matter how transparent is the counting process the result will be the same, therefore they demanded re election, but till today in such conditions, in any democratic country cancelling such results and announcement of re-elections never took place. This process is in itself not corrective rather it is non democratic. Eventually keeping view of the bad intentions, destructive mentality and shrewdness of these forces Allama Ayatollah Ali Khamenei made it clear and strongly rejected this demand. He warned that the Government will not bow down in front of any protests and demonstrations by the opposition. Even though he announced to scrutinize the complaints regarding the process of voting and counting. Naturally this is Iran’s internal matter even then the Christians, Zionist and other fascist powers have come out in open against Iran and they are raising a hue and cry of gross malpractices in the voting process and are strongly supporting Mir Hussein Mousavi. Britain even went to the extent of discontinuing all diplomatic relationships with Iran. Both countries sent back the Ambassadors of each other. Iran has accused Britain of hatching conspiracy against the elections and spreading disquiet and unrest. He even exiled the BBC correspondent in Tehran whereas a British-Greek Journalist working for an American newspaper was taken into custody. Iran’s Home Minister by pointing a finger at America has said that the people spreading unrest in the country are being funded by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the deported opposition group People’s Mujahideen. American President’s acrimonious speech raised a question about the legitimacy of the elections and expressed his displeasure and anger over the violence against the protests by the opposition leaders. On the other hand due to the Government’s strong stand, the hired people and those who were misled because of misunderstandings backed off without any resistance. As soon as the police used tear gas and lathi charge against them they all became quiet. The other defeated candidate Mohsin Razaye who was the ex-Chief of Revolutionary Guard has also declared to withdraw his protest against the malpractices in the elections. He said that Iran’s social, economic and security situation have reached a sensitive and decisive phase which is more important than the elections. In these conditions it is certain that they will leave no stone unturned in working with a proper insight and farsightedness.

Foreign Interest in Iran’s Affairs

2009-06-25T13:44:00.002+05:30

The conditions in Iran are getting worse with each passing day, the worst part being that this matter is no longer concentrated to a particular geographical part rather it has become an issue for the whole world. This can be realised from the fact that all big super powers are not only interested in it they have in a way become rivals in it. The western mass media together with the western powers have also become a part of it. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has commented on the political conditions in Iran and the action taken by the Iranian Government regarding the British mass media, the way the American President, American management, American Congress and the American agencies are showing interest in it and appear to be actively involved, the reaction of the European Union, all this has made the post election campaign in Iran a global campaign. In can not be termed any thing better than open interference. The most important aspect of this campaign is Israel’s stand in this regard, which has already being expressed at different occasions and in different forms but it took place at the highest level, when during the past days Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu outlined his policy in his speech at the Bar Elan University. In his speech he stressed upon America and other western countries that they should feel the graveness of the Iranian issue and should work upon a solid plan of action. In this policy speech Israeli Prime Minister declared Iran as a danger to the whole world and the victory of Mahmoud Ahmedi Nejad has increased it two-fold.

In the Presidential elections in Iran present President Mahmoud Ahmedi Nejad’s victory is very clear and the difference between him and his nearest rival Mir Hussein Mousavi is so large that the allegations of malpractice are beyond imagination. It can be recalled that Mahmoud Ahmedi Nejad got 65% of the total votes cast whereas Mir Hussein Mousavi got just 33% votes, Mahdi Karoobi and Mohsin Razaye’s share of votes was paltry. Therefore their complaint is weightless, even then the Iranian establishment, taking up the path of diplomacy asked all the three candidates not to spread unrest in the country, to register their complaints and to respect the law. Not only that they also declared that all the complaints will be investigated moreover they were even ready to reconsider the recounting of ten percent votes. It should be clear that even if the complaints lodged by Mir Hussein Mousavi and the other candidates are right then also the difference between Mahmoud Ahmedi Nejad and Mir Hussein Mousavi cannot influence victory or defeat. The Iranian Establishment also invited all the candidates for open talks but it is being told that Mir Hussein Mousavi and Mahdi Karoobi did not participate in it. They openly rejected the people’s verdict and they are still adamant on their stand. America, Britain, European Union and it’s organisations are all backing them. Many briefings have been given by the American President and the White House. The American Congress has passed the resolution, the British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has also entered the scene, European Union have given their full support in favour of those willing to reject the election results.

The actual reason for the distraction is something else

2009-06-25T11:46:00.000+05:30

Now a days the ongoing distraction in the BJP, many think that, it is the intensity over the defeat in recent lok sabha elections. Few people have opinion that this is the battle for leadership. Some think that hardline hindutva agenda drowned them off, whereas some have the opinion contrary to that, this situation is because of the party's deviation from hindutva agenda. It could be that these things are partially true. But there is another thing which lead to this bad situation. And that is, party doesn't at all have any agenda which confidently it can present to the public. Yes, for elite, it has definitely a program to present, or say its program is only for the particular community of elite. With regards to that even the hindutva which is mentioned, that hindutva is also to show. Means the obstruction against the religious minorities, making temple by demolishing masjid in Ajodhya, killing innocents in Gujrat, scolding in Peelibhit etc. Otherwise the actual hindutva is something else which it can not tell the public and all the elite of the country, can tell it to only a particular segment of elite.

Actual Agenda
And that hindutva is to keep the social system which is based on the superiority by birth, and to give all monitory resources in the hands of a particular community. And it is obvious that this political agenda it can't include in its election manifesto. So it tries to mislead voters by raising emotional and provoking issues. And the records show that some time people come in their fold, but mostly they don't. This time people not coming to their fold is also because of the reason that party couldn't find any issue till the end of election campaign. Its opponent cruel Congress snatched its every issue and used by itself. This time Congress did this thing openly and frankly. Capatalist economical policies it snatched such that left it no where. It took such stand on terrorism that BJP policy makers were just left, like wao! BJP was about to benefit by Mumbai events of November, but Congress was so quick that its rival had nothing but woe. It shouted so much against semi-dead Pakistan, for which even BJP and its government would probably hesitate.

Morally consious individuals come forward
So BJP's actual difficulty is that it doesn't like to show its real agenda and nothing works with fake chants. In last 57 years party raised atleast a dozen different conflicting political slogans. Even if party's present crisis that is the leadership problem gets solved, the actual confusion will still remain. So why didn't the party resolve its fundamental issue. That is to present such an honest program which guarantee the real progress and prosperity of the people and the country. BJP (i.e. RSS) can do that if it likes. Because it is a big and strong organisation, and its cadre is large. But it is obvious that it can do it only if it withdraw from its actual agenda. Withdrawing from its actual agenda is difficult but not impossible. Because in RSS there are big big educated and intellignet individuals are present. If some pious and morally consious personel among them rise and accept after revising the agenda that their program is unjust and invalid, then it is possible. Then there will be a question as what should be the new agenda. In this regard they should reconsider their behaviour about Islam, and contact muslim scholars and intellectuals without hesitating. Two three muslim faces which are there in BJP, if dare, can convince party leadership for that.

Caste of Lok Sabha speaker

2009-06-22T14:30:00.000+05:30

News Paper readers might have noticed that when the name of Meera Kumar was decided, the aspect which media and political analysts highlited was the aspect of her being a dalit. Though being first woman speaker was also discussed but being dalit woman was actually the topic of analysis. Sonia Gandhi was praised that she selected a woman that too a woman belonging to dalit society. Big-heartedness of Indian society was also praised. Some analysts proudly mentioned about the high-sightedness of hindu society and its cast system. This event was in full cry on regional languages news papers and TV channels along with the main stream channels, hindi and english news papers. But nothing is seen or heared as solid analysis by any dalit intellectuals. It is not known what the dalit intellectuals feel who often write and say against the cast system. But yes the non-aligned citizen of this country and those who are aware of the political and social reality, may be applauding the over smartness of the founders of this social system.

It should be applauded too
And it should be applauded too that a system which divided the human beings in higher and lower, respectable and disreputable sects, a big , that is more than one third of the population, was declared the lower and lesser, then making this system acceptable and pride worthy, could be only the work of extra-ordinary intelligence. How funny it is that long time ago a group of humans created a theory that not all human beings are equal. Then made four classes among them, kept itself on top of all, making respectable even worthy of worship and kept the large population in the lower class which is said to be the original and oldest population of this land. Firstly this population used to be called untouchable, then when the education became common , clever people like Gandhi named them 'Harijan". And now in this era of development they are called "Dalit". Intelligenece and foresightedness was such that after independence the statutory terms like scheduled cast and schecduled tribe were derived. Then in the name of their economical betterment reservation was given to them in government jobs, the actual aim of that was to keep them in the same system but in such a way that the complex of being lesser be there always.

The reason for the failure of reformation movements
It is not that there were no voices raised against this inhuman order. Big movements were launched, big reformers have risen. It is told that the movements of the Krishn, Goutham budh, and Mahaveer jain too were against this system. In the new era Jyothi baphule, Rama swamy naiker, Baba sahab ambedkar and recently Kanshi ram emerged. Based upon these leaders theories and their thoughts powerful movements were run against this system, founders of the system were scolded a lot. Their books were burnt. Hatred against them was spread. But the system did not move at all. Even today exist with all its bounty. It's reason ? only one. Those leaders did not challenge the authority of the founders, did not ask them who gave them this authority to declare a big population of human lesser. All efforts were made being within the system to get the respectable position. Even today the same thing is happening. Being dalit even has become the source of blackmailing. The success and salavation is far away, the respectable position they don't even want, unless materialistic wise and economically their situation get better. If not entire population, atleast leaders and well settled communities are satisfied on their situation. Meera kumar is also happy that daughter of a dalit is given such a big position.

Scheme to take action against corrupt Judges

2009-06-22T13:47:00.002+05:30

In the newly elected UPA Government, union Law Minister Veerappa Moily is planning large scale reforms in the country’s Judicial System during the first two hundred days of his ministry. In this, special attention is being given to the widespread corruption in the Judicial system and also the process involved in the appointment of the judges. He will also speak to the Chief Justice of India in this regard. He says that corruption within the Judicial system is a grave issue. He professes that a lot of complaints have come up against the system of the appointment of judges. There is a need to reconsider the plan which was made in 1993 for the appointment of the judges. The consensus is to change it. This is a common complaint that the responsible Judges’ committee for the appointment and promotion of judges, even overlook the senior judges for promotion till the Supreme Court. Regarding this 160 year old system, the Judiciary is in itself feeling perplexed. That is why the higher judiciary is being advised that only reconsidering will bring an improvement in the system. On the matter of increasing number of corruption charges against the High court and Supreme Court judges, the Law Minister feels it is a serious issue, it should not be regarded as a way of tarnishing the image of any organisation or defaming it.

The Law Minister further says that the Judges Enquiry Act which was set up in 1968, which laid out the plan for the action against the corrupt judges, is now four decades old and it should be revisited now. He says in order to make it more effective the Government can also make amendments in it. It is being told that the present system for the appointment of judges and action against the corrupt judges will be given a special place in the judicial reforms of the UPA Government. This will be carried in consultation with the higher judiciary. In order to speed up the process of reforming of the Judicial system these affairs will soon be put up in front of the Chief Justice of India. In order to check corruption within the Judiciary it is required to instil a sense of purpose in the process of the appointment of judges and it’s mechanism. Further he made it clear that in his vision for reforms there would be no conflict with the judiciary. He does not believe in the blame game. He told that the Judges Enquiry Act 1968 which shows a plan of action against corrupt judges is badly in need of reconsideration. He said that the UPA Government in it’s first term, in order to make this act transparent tried to make amendments in it. They( UPA government) might start working on the bill which was made in this regard. Nevertheless we express our firm belief that we will present this bill in the Parliament and get it passed.

The Law Minister says, unlike the other organisations Judiciary, media cannot defend themselves everyday. That is why he wants to be cautious in hurling accusations at them. He is in favour of providing security to the judiciary and together with that he also wants to follow the Right to Information Act. He says if we are able to convince the judiciary that no information will be used in a wrong way then it can be expected that there will be no hindrance. It should be recalled that in the present circumstances reports from various fractions say that the judiciary is in a state of turmoil in terms of trust and confidence. Contemporary News paper, Hindustan Times in the past days, have brought to light the mutual relationship between the judges and the agents in Haryana and Punjab and stressed the need of immediate reforms in the judicial system. The corruption present in the judges of Gujarat has also become a topic of debate whereas many survey reports have already been published regarding the widespread corruption in the judiciary at the lower levels. The lower court judges are condemned even by the judges of the High Court and Supreme Court. This lacerates the trust and confidence in the judiciary. It is undoubtedly necessary to maintain the dwindling image of the judiciary.

American (President's) Agenda

2009-06-19T12:08:00.001+05:30

Though in Cairo University's speech Barack Hussein Obama said very good stuff, refered Quranic verses, mentioned the mutual relationship of Islam, Christianity and Judaism. Also repeated that there is no fight between Islam and America. Accepted the role of Islam in development of human civilization too. Also said that to stabilize the world peace and to make the world more safe America and Muslim world should work together etc. But he never moved from his (American) agenda. How can he move too ? He has his own way of bringing American agenda into action. Initially it was thought that because Obama belongs to democratic party, during the presidential elections he had been critisizing Republican party and its administration, he would change policies of Bush certainly, but nothing as such happened. The time frame for getting out of Iraq, previous administration could also do, as for taking rest of its oil and looting its natural resources this time was enough. Making Iraq harmless for Israel would also had been completed. In closing down Guantanamo torment houses what difficulty is there, is not understood. About the interior policies and economic efforts, experts say whoever the president were, would do the same.

Resonance of Bush's voice
The important thing of the previous government which Obama repeated was that there are serious threats to the peace of entire world including America, and these threats are from "extremeist muslim groups". The important point of this matter is that even Obama takes the events of 11th september exactly the way George Bush presented it to the world. Alqaeda to him is a living reality. Means the good hope too proved to be wrong that Obama would adopt some what realistic approach towards the Jewish drama of 11th Septemeber and would put an end to the stories related to alqaeda and osama bin laden. In Cairo Obama told that alqaeda killed three thousand people in New York, among them there was a big number of Americans, that is why American nation can not forget it. Means based upon that whatever Bush administration did with muslims and muslim countries was all right. He cried about the rackets of Hamas on Israel but did not mention the Israeli atrocities on Palestinians. Like Bush, Obama also wishes that different editions of Islam be prepared which will be acceptable to non-muslims especially to the people of Europe and America.

A demand should certainly be made
But after all these facts the Islamic world should welcome the initiative of American President. His vulnerabilities should be taken into consideration that anyway he is a president of that state, evrything of which is in Jewish control. But to test the sincerity demand should certainly be made to Obama. That is, the actual investigation of the 11th september events should be made by any international agency which Bush administration always avoided. Bush in international pressure or guiltily appointed a commitee of congress but never co-operated with it, which the members of the commitee constantly complained. Obama should pay attention to the experts of America itself who after analyzing the different angles called it "the inside act", and mocked the Bush administration's theory. This inquiry is also important that based on these events only America raged the war against Islam and Muslim Ummah which it called the "war on terror". Few other countries too started imitating the American drama. If Barack Hussein with fully willingness and fairness make these inevstigations then he does not need any other efforts to pursuade the Islamic world.

Tenth Presidential Elections in Iran

2009-06-19T01:27:00.001+05:30

In the tenth Presidential elections in the Islamic Republic of Iran, present Iranian President and presidential candidate was declared as winner by the election commission. According to the Government data and counting, presidential candidate and present President Mahmoud Ahmedi Nejad got 62.63% votes and his nearest rival Mir Hossein Mousavi received 33.75% votes. The other two candidates Mohsin Razaye and Mahdi Karoobi were nowhere in the race. In the third place Mohsin Razaye merely got 1.73% votes while Mahdi Karoobi could manage only 0.85% votes. The population of Iran is more than seven crores. Among these around four crores have the right to vote. This time, around 85% voters exercised their right to vote. This displays the interest and enthusiasm of the Iranian voters. According to the Government data and counting, collectively 3,91,65,191 votes were cast, 409389 votes were rejected due to some reasons. Out of these Ahmedi Nejad received 2,45,27,516 votes, Hossien Mousavi got 1,32,16,411 votes, Mohsin Razaye got only 782400 and Mahdi Karoobi could muster just 333635 votes. It is being told that this interest and enthusiasm could be seen both in urban as well as rural areas. But some sources say that Ahmedi Nejad is a favourite in the rural areas while Hossein Mousavi is popular in the urban areas, but the state wise data and counting show that leaving aside only two provinces Azerbaijan and Sestan and Baluchistan, in the remaining 28 states Ahmedi Nejad has a clear lead against his closest rival Hossein Mousavi.

The Guardian Council of the Shura gave consent to four candidates this time among which two are conservatives that is Mahmoud Ahmedi Nejad and Mohsin Razaye and the other two that is Mir Hossien Mousavi and Mahdi Karoobi are progressive. Two of them are related to political parties namely Ahmedi Nejad belongs to Abadgaran (Alliance of Builders of Islamic Iran) and Mr.Mahdi Karoobi is related to the Etamad millee party, whereas Hossien Mousavi and Mohsin Razaye contested the elections as independent candidates. In terms of population Iran is one of the countries where rapid urbanisation is taking place. This can be established from the fact that in mere 20-25 years this change has taken place, as 25 years ago the rural population was 60% which is now percentage of the urban population. There are one dozen cities where the population is 10lakhs or more. The population of Tehran is more than 77lakhs, other bigger cities include Mashhad(27lakhs), Esfahan(19lakhs), Tabriz(16lakhs), Karaj(15lakhs) and Shiraz(12lakhs). Iran also has the honour that 60% of it’s population consists of people under 30 years of age. The percentage of people over 65 years of age is only 5%. But unemployment is also increasing here. This victory should have ignited new life in the country but the unsuccessful candidates have raised certain questions and accusations of malpractices against it. Country’s Supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei has ordered the Guardian Council of the Shura to enquire about these accusations. An important aspect of this is that a hue and cry is being raised in Europe and America against this matter. Foreign mass media have created a hype about it as if a great turmoil has surfaced in Iran. America, Canada, European Union, France, Germany, Britain and Norway have expressed grave concern against these allegations of malpractices whereas Israel has declared it as a danger. Arab league, Iraq, Qatar, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Russia, Belarus, North Korea, Venezuela, Hamas, Hezbollah, Alekhwanul Muslemoon etc. have send congratulatory messages to President Mahmoud Ahmedi Nejad. It should be expected that the Iranians will soon overcome even this difficulty.

The Policy of the Central Government

2009-06-13T23:38:00.000+05:30

In reply to the argument which took place in the President’s joint meeting of the Parliament, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh summarised his Government’s policy and gave an account of what his Government wants to do in the next five years . He expressed in clear terms that terrorism will not be tolerated under any condition, no matter in which form it tries to come up. Not only will it be dealt strictly moreover it’s head will be crushed completely. In this regard he also said that his Government wants to corroborate good friendly relations with all the neighbours but he also wanted to make it clear that his Government, at any cost, will not tolerate anti-Indian activities on any of their land and so he wants to tell his neighbouring countries particularly Pakistan that if they expect good friendly relations they should not allow their countries to be used for anti-Indian activities. Strong steps should be taken against the allegations which came forward in the 26^th September Mumbai attacks, only by this way talks can be started with Pakistan. He further said that the ball is now in Pakistan’s court and so now the Pakistani leaders have to decide about what they want. If they show courage and political know how and work with good intentions then not only the differences will be removed but also roads for peace and prosperity can be established. If they display this they will not find India behind, as India is always ready to extend the hand of friendship.

He strongly emphasised that his government will not let the country’s economy to get out of track even though, economically speaking, the world is going through a grave turmoil and all developed nations of the world including America, at this time are surrounded by economic challenges, naturally it had it’s effect on India as well therefore his government will try and not let the development rate to drop down but will try and maintain it at 7.0%. He said that in his previous term, the initial four years were economically very good when the rate of development reached the 9% mark but due to the global economic crisis it went down in the last year and fell below 7%. His Government will try that no further downfall occurs in this rate and try and improve it and take it to 8/9%. He further said that his government is keeping a close watch on the situation in Sri Lanka and they want that the issue of the Tamilians gets resolved in the best possible way, he said that the end of LTTE does not mean that all the issues have been resolved. His government will open heartedly help the Sri Lanka government in the rehabilitation of the Tamil refugees. In the matter of the humiliating treatment met out with the Indian students in Australia the Prime Minister asserted that his government will take strong steps against it, attempts have already been made in this regard. He gave an assurance of working with the opposition in a constructive way. He also spoke of strong relations of India with China.

Living Organisation of the living humans

2009-06-13T12:09:00.000+05:30

Council of representatives, is the higher authoritative council of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind. Electing The Ameer (Chief) of Jamaat and his advisory council it does, and it can also dissolve too if needed. This council is elected every four years, its meeting is held every two years. It comprises 128 members. In last four days of the month of May, the meeting of this council is held in Bangalore the famous city of south India. It happened to participate in that. This was the first time participation in the meeting of the council. Due to the long time association with the islamic movement, the very knowledge of the internal affairs, its islamic advisory nature, process of decision making and the way of mutual arguments of the Jamaat associates, was already there. Apart from the All India Conferences, different meetings at all levels were attended, had opportunities for attending and addressing small and big sessions on different topics. Differences of opinion on issues and some times bitter discussions were experienced too. Got the council of representatives arguments reports too. But practically attending this higher most institution's meeting was for the first time ever. It was very pleasant and hope giving experience.

Two examples
A suggestion from central advisory was presented, which was about the Jamaat discipline, and in few sections of the articles of the constitution amendment was needed. Necessary argumentg was over, points were already received in its favour and against it. It was decided that the opinions be sought, firstly hands were asked to be raised in its favour. On the stage, the present leadership, including Ammer-e-Jamaat raised the hand in favour, but hands raised in auditorium were less. Then hands were raised against it, the number was more. The general secretary of Jamaat Mr Nusrat Ali announced that "the suggested resolution was rejected by majority of votes." Means the suggested resolution was rejected which had the support of Ammer-e-Jamaat, and this was a golden example of democracy and freedo of expression in any party, but actually this was a glimpse of the advisory system of Islam. Now a second scene - few associates raised a constitutional question which was related to the increase of the non-regional members of the council, which was decided in the previous meeting and was acted upon too. Argument started. After some time Ammer-e-Jamaat interrupted, and said "In my opinion this argument is unnecessary, this was decided after much thought, and that was acted upon too, thus the argument should just stop here." There was silence in the house, complete silence. Argument stopped as if it was started. Then immediately other issues brought to attention. And this was an example of the obedience to the Ameer and the respect for Ameer.

That scene was soulful
But the most important and soulful was the scene when a sub-section of an article of the consitution was discussed for an amendment. This was suggested by central advisory too. For few members it was a sensitive and delicate issue. Ammer-e-Jamaat and Secretary General were non-aligned, but the majority of the house was in favour so the resolution was passed with majority. Those who were not in favour were obviously upset. There was a different type of silence in the house. But Ameer-e-Jamaat address changed the environment completely. Address was being heared breathlessly. Every sentence of the speech was entering in the hearts, speech and its effectiveness and sensation....it was the true picture of a saying.... High Vision, Talk Heart rewarding, Life sensational. Audience were like hearing bodies. Like the instructions and advises were the food for journey. After address and prayer it was the scene that there was nothing disputed, neither any face had victory smile nor any face had the defeated ipression. Outside the hall associates were having mutual discussion and exchange of thoughts and analysis, it couldn't be felt that there was something discussed as disputed. Ameer-e-Jamaat address was the topic of the talk, which was being referred to as the achievement of the entire meeting.

This is what the history of Jamaat
This is what the history of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind. In the 61 years of journey, Jamaat was tested both internally and externally, but Jamaat associates were persistent. Among the internal tests participating in the election politics was delicate. In the past, big figures and personalities had different opinions. Bitter arguments took place, but personal hatred never seen. Islamic spirit is the jewel of this Jamaat. This is the reason Allah has kept this Organisation always safe. Otherwise in free India every muslim organisation passed through disintegration. If history observed since 1948 formation meeting till Bangalore meeting, this organisation looks a living organisation of living humans, which can be said neither about organisations raised based on the personalities nor the so called democratic parties. There were two women too in the Bangalore meeting, who were representing 800 women. Much confidence was seen in their expression upon the issues and problems. And by seeing the performance of young associates the heart uncontrollably shouted that the future of Islamic Movement in this country is safe BiHamdillah (Praise being for God). God protect it from bad eyes.

Clarification of Jizya was useful

2009-06-10T23:32:00.000+05:30

From the platform of All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat few muslim leaders, among them there were scholars too, released a clarification statement about "Jizya". This statement was released during the outcry that in the tribal areas of Pakistan, "Taliban" are forcibly collecting Jizya from non-muslims that is Hindus and Sikhs. In the statement the jurisprudential debate was there about the term Jizya. Anyway with regards to the news from Pakistan this debate or discussion was unnecessary, because in the statement the news about the cruelness and inflict of "Taliban" was assumed true, where as that information was all based on evil spirit. But the debate of Jizya itself was very useful and informative. If this clarification would have come with this note then it could be result oriented, that "It is unknown how true are these information, because these are not proved by free sources, also it is hard to beleive that people having knowledge of Deen(Religion) can commit such acts which are against Deen (Religion). But as the word Jizya is being used in the news, we feel necessary to clarify this Islamic term so that the minds of non-muslim brethren of our country be clear..".

These misunderstandings are old
Taking the words like Jizya, Jihad and Kafir a big majority of non-muslims remains misunderstood. For this the propaganda also has a part which, in the past used to be done by anti-Islam circles. So called orientalists specially did this task. In our country too, misunderstandings about these term came with british people. In the long muslim rule these words were never debated. Not because non-muslim people in muslim rule were afraid, but because they had no problems with these terms, the common people and elite both were unaware. British rulers and their orieltalists showed the people of India that to see how bad things are there in Islam. Thus against Jizya and Jihad people's mind was set, non-muslims started thinking the word Kafir a rebuke, and even now think so. The explanation of these words is continuously made by muslim scholars and jurists, and even now being explained. As per the event and opportunity this explanation proves to be useful and among people curiosity increases to know more.

This is the matter of action for Dawah (Preaching)
This is the matter of action for Dawah. The Hi-Fi international propaganda against muslim nation and Islam, where causes severe mental torture for muslims, it provides the best opportunity for them to preach as well. If you start the explanation to any of the Islamic concepts by yourself, people may not give much care. But if on that concept, there is any criticism from any corner, so as to make it a target of condemn in media and non-muslims, then muslim scholars can interfere with the factual and acceptable way to present true picture, this gives the considerable results. We have the explanation and clarification but that is limited to Urdu news papers only, there is a need that from our side this debate appear in Hindi , English and other regional language media. People to speak on channels and write in news papers be prepared. This is a big task which millat (The Muslim Nation) should do. All our intellectuals and scholar leaders who put all their efforts and talents in recent lok sabha elections, after they are done with it and relaxing now, should think in this regard that what can be done for this.

The Consequence of American President's two nation formula

2009-06-10T12:01:00.001+05:30

While addressing the Muslim world in Cairo, the American President Barak Hussain Obama, where on one hand spoke about other things, on the other hand he asked the Muslim world to accept America's solution for the Palestine issue. According to him, the solution for this issue is that the Muslim world accepts the existence of Israel and in return they will get a Palestine state. That means he has given a two nation formula for the land of Palestine. This is not a new formula. The solution suggested by his predecessors for the issue of Palestine spoke of the same peace road map. President Obama has just repeated it. He expects the Muslim world to support him in solving the issues. According to him it should be initiated from here. His predecessor George Bush in the last days of his second term, started dialogue on this issue and tried to create the consensus for the same road map. To ponder upon this proposal and proceed with it is secondary, first of all it is necessary to understand what practical scenario it has. Does he want the people of Palestine and Muslim world to accept the existence of Israel? In return for this they might get a part in the land of Palestine as a Palestine state, as if this offer is conditional. Can they be questioned that after this process, if Israel refuses to accept the Palestine state then does this happen in America that it forces Israel to fulfil their promise.

The Palestinians and the Muslim world know about the reality of this proposal, this is totally based on injustice. They also have the character of America and Israel in front of them. President Obama wants to say that the role which America played in the creation of Israel should be forgotten by the Muslim world and should be completely disregarded? Then again the way the America supported Israel's atrocities and cruelties and tried to shield Israel from any harm that came in its way. Do they want the Muslim world to keep mum even on this. The “peace” treaties which were carried out with Israel were based on utter partiality and they tried to provide one sided security to the interests of Israel. But the responsibilities which were imposed on Israel for catching bargain, was Mr. Obama not aware that Israel never fulfilled them and at all times violated the agreements. Does he want to say that the Muslim world should forget even this? The proposal itself that is the peace road map got blown away from the reaction of Israel. Israel openly rejected to stop the “natural expansion” of the Jewish settlements and had given the reference that they already have an agreement with America in this regard. During this time, one more suggestion which has come from America’s Pro Israel fraction is that the land which is called as the Palestinian state by the American President can be given an alternate look, according to this plan West Bank can be given to Jordan and the Gaza strip to Egypt, in this way bringing an end to the “root cause”. The echo of the sugar coated words by President Obama had still not been dispersed in the air , his own people blew the “peace formula” apart. Then why President Obama expects the Muslim world to extend their hand in his support. President Obama himself made it clear in his speech that his hands are tied in the matter of Israel.

After clear victory

2009-06-07T22:25:00.001+05:30

After clear victory in the elections and the offered support from all around, it was thought that in forming the central cabinet Congress won't face difficulty which it did five years ago, and it will include its desired individuals very easily in the cabinet, but DMK leader Karunanidhi made the entire story tasteless. Said that atleast seven individuals from his party in cabinet and few as junior ministers be included. Though Congress this time need not to be pleasing them. Even without DMK support and inclusion it could easily carry on. But this was the humble way of Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh that they engaged in convincing Tamilnadu leader, where as on the other hand this behaviour of Karunanidhi was being condemned. Bengal’s Mamata Benerji put no condition despite having 19 members. Maharashtra's Sharad Pawar, with his 8 members had readily compromised with the situation. No where was any hurdle. But 18 members holding Karunanidhi by his behaviour reminded those secenes of May 2004 when Sonia Gandhi and her co-leaders were visiting and convincing each and every leader. At that time, leader holding three four members was like feeling himslef the king maker.

Politics of Dravid Leader
If the talk was of just including DMK members, it could have been said that Karunanidhi think and care much about loyal party cadre, and wants to get them their price for their efforts as ministries. But the funny thing was that he just wanted ministries for his family. Daughter, Son and Grand-son and along with them few other family members he wanted to make ministers. More over ministries too not just any as such, should be gold mines like so that millions and billions they could earn. And this all wealth be with the family only. And this is the situation of that party of south India which was formed with dravid pride. Whose aim was to set themselves free from northern brahmin system and in Tamil region establishing power of dalits, poor and backwards. In the past it's leader Anna Dorai wanted this. In 1967 Karunanidhi raised as his successor and remained beholder of the same philosophy till ten fifteen years, but later on he absorbed India's common political colour. In thinking of his successor he moved his son Stalin ahead. Later some other people too appeared from the family. Now probably he is trying that his family remain the owner of the black and white of Tamilnadu.

Facts of Indian Politics
This case of Karunanidhi is pointing out some important facts of Indian politics. 1). This is just to say that people come in politics to serve public, they just come to make money, popularity and family benefits. To obtain one lok sabha seat three crores are spent. Become minister for the same. 2). Initially one person raises with the enthusiasm of serving public, and public value him too. But when he gains some position and identity, he is lost in self and family. 3). Election politics is also a big source of blackmailing. In lok sabha and assembly elections, smaller groups play well. In election where public expect a strong and stable government, these groups wish that no party get majority. Some times even independent candidates become king makers and collect desired price for it. 4). When aim of the politics become the wealth and fame, killing and murders, looting, links with criminals and backing them, corrupting police and involvement in crimes and personal and family enemities, these all are the essential requirements of it. And changing this style of Indian politics is not an easy task.

Women got liberated in America but.....

2009-06-07T01:21:00.000+05:30

American women are rich, healthy, highly educated. Compared to thirty years back their conditions have improved a lot. Revolutions have come into their lives. They are free to work out of the four walls of their house. They are not economically dependent on men rather they are earning as much as the men. They can free themselves from such marital life which has problems and in which they have to face the atrocities of men. They can take legal action against sexual abuse in offices and factories. They are their own masters. They are free to decide whether to have or not to have children. In many fields such as, percentage of graduates, priorities about life, job security men feel themselves to be in number two spot. Women liberation and women rights activists have made a lot available to women. But in spite of all these not only in America but also in Europe and in all such places where women have rebelled against their nature and have tried to stand up shoulder to shoulder with men, they have lost that serenity, contentment and the real happiness. In the decade of 1960, Betsy Friendon tried to determine the "victims unknown reason" among her fellow wives and daughters. The survey showed that the females who considered themselves to be happy to be more than the men. But now this sexual difference has taken up a completely new face. The number of men who consider themselves happy has increased whereas the number of such women has decreased. Compared to the time before the movement of the women liberation, men were found to be happier after this movement.

Expert economist Betsy Rusty Winson and Justice Wolfrez, have prepared another report on "The unexpected downfall in the happiness of women" about which the New York Times has written "This report is bewitching not only because of what it has revealed rather it is so because experts have tried to conceal an evidently simple matter in the light of facts and figures. For instance due to decrease in the number of members of both parents' families definitely the lives of the women who are bringing up their children causes sadness and depression instead of satisfaction. But this explanation only was not enough because irrespective of class and race the trend of dissatisfaction and uneasiness is increasing. There are more chances that a working Hispanic women shows more of these signs than her white counterpart, whereas the difference between the happiness of men and women is same in East Hampton and East Los Angeles.

Moreover it is possible that owing to the increase in workload on women their happiness meter is going down. In the famous 'second shift' women perform a big part of the daily chores. In spite of the fact that they are taking up more and more responsibilities in offices and factories and this is certainly possible but just like Wolfrez and Rustywinson have pointed out that in the recent survey the work load on both men and women is the same. They have written that maybe this matter is political, maybe the women are based on equality, they want a low risk society and Regan's era of capitalism might have cast disturbing effects on the American women. Not only in America but also in the European Union where there is a lot of propaganda about equality since the last three decades there has been a decrease in the happiness of women. This state of uncertainty invites a vast study. Those who have prepared the survey have written that the extremists who raise slogans for the women liberation and the people who hold a conservative view in this regard, might not follow a middle path. Supporters of women liberalisation can also feel the signs of a revolution in which excessive expectations are colliding with a fragile wall. Feeling of insult is increasing based on this justice. The conservatives can also feel the proof of revolution in which pressure is mounting on the women owing to the way of life that they should follow their biological instinct whereas men are living a life free of responsibilities.

Racial Discrimination in Australia

2009-06-04T15:57:00.000+05:30

For the past few days the treatment which is being met out with the Indian students in Australia is not only a matter worth lamenting it is a cause of anxiety too. This is so because India and Australia's relations have never been bad, but in certain aspects they are quite significant. It should be recalled that Australia has an important position from nuclear energy point of view. It is a member of that group which provides nuclear energy on non-military grounds or it is carrier country for it's source, other than that it has a key role in the Commonwealth. It has an important role in world politics as it is America's friend and it's closeness with UK has historic importance. It is considered as one of the developed nations. It has its importance due to some other reasons too. It is one of the countries where Indian citizens go in pursuit of higher education. This process is going on for quite a long time now. But since last few days the Indian students have started facing discrimination. Not only that they are also becoming a target of violence. The incidents which have occured in the past few days are a cause of great anxiety. The matter of anxiety is the fact that there is a hatred against Indian students here and based on their race they have been made targets of violence. The students are so frightened that some of them have returned back without even completing their education. They feel that they should not go to Australia for higher studies now. Due to this, bitterness has started creeping in the bilateral relationship.

Earlier when a similar incident happened with Dr.Mohammad Hanif of Bangalore, then it was linked with 'Islamic terrorism', but now it is common that the Indian students are being targeted. As far as the Indian foreign policy is concerned Australia has been given a lot of importance. There is no point of conflict with Australia. But this hatred against Indians in Australia is astonishing as well as worth pondering too. It can not be neglected by considering them as few stray incidents. Thought should be given to it and it should be analysed why this is happening and it is also important because it is related to the reaction of the public. That means that the public is involved in the attacks on the Indian students and the discrimination against them. Naturally this is a common instinct which can not be developed in a day or two. If few incidents had taken place then they could have been termed as accidental incidents but since few months or even more, the occurrence of these incidents at regular intervals show that this trend is nurturing at the level of the common man. The Government of Australia has also considered it as an important issue and have assured that they will try to bring it under control. The Indian Government's concerns in this regard is justified. They have communicated their concerns to the Australian Government and have made an appeal to them to provide the required protection to the Indian students and citizens in Australia. It can be expected that the Australian Government will pay an attention to it and take up such measures which ensure that no such incidents take place in the future.

25 years of nation's hardship

2009-06-04T12:31:00.001+05:30

25 years of Nation's hardship - this is the name of that booklet or folder which is being distributed all over the Punjab in the eve of the anniversary of operation blue star in Amritsar. News paper readers might remember that in the beginning of 80's decade Khalistan formation movement was on peak in the state of Punjab. Sant Jarnail singh bhandran waley was the biggest leader of that movement. His residence was in harminder sahab or darbar sahab of Amritsar which is called Golden Temple. His followers used to carry on violent activities from there. State and Central governments were very worried. Finally government planned the military action to crush militants. This action carried out on 6th June 1984. Along with the residense of bhandaran waley, the great building of darbar sahab, which was the sacred and holy place for sikh people of the world, was demolished. It is obvious that this was very painful for sikh nation. So expression of the anger and grief from them started in different forms. The biggest expression of the anger and rage was seen on 31st October the same year as deadly murder attack on prime Minister Indra Gandhi. After that in Delhi and else where anti-sikh riots happened, thousands of people were killed.

Belief is dearer than the life
But sikh nation was more grieved at the demolition of harminder sahab than over being killed. This wound is still there and the important thing is that the sikh nation wants to keep this wound on. Whereas in the 25 years period , the maximum efforts were made to comfort sikh nation. Efforts to win the confidence back were immediately made, darbar sahab's great building was constructed at government's expense. (But sikhs later on demolished it and reconstructed with karseva{volunteering}). In five years looked like sikh nation was completely into the main stream of the country, neverthless the riots trials and compensations were continued. But it was noted that sikh nation couldn't completely come out of the grief. Now the 25th anniversary preperation details which are coming from Amritsar show that the entire sikh nation is involved in it. Recently Prime Minister Manmohan Singh advised sikhs that whatever happened in 1984 sikhs should forget it, effect of this statement was otherwise. Preperations were increased more. Prime Minister has been critisized. Sikh leaders are announcing that this grief can not be forgotten. This will be kept alive forever.

Life of a Living nation
This point could be debated among non-sikhs as why sikh community wants to keep this grief alive and the wound on.? Till what time? or what it wants by that and what is its target ? But anyway the fact is that the events of 1984 are still alive in the heart and brain of every sikh, whatever the political association they have, different sects and groups and several deras are there, sectorial and communal unrest they have among themselves. After Vienna event this increased more, but all are together in 1984 grief. And this is a symbol of life in a nation alive. Though in 25 years, one thing is not yet understood. Sikh nation, for operation blue star and Delhi riots think only Congress is responsible, whereas they have close friendship with those, who were front runners in 80's in creating environment of hatred against them. Indra Gandhi and Congressmen just exploited that situation. Day by day Newspapers reports of that period are still safe in files, as who was doing what ? What, whose demand was ? For non-sikh analysts, this is an interesting research topic that among sikh scholars and knowledgeable people, why this point could not become the topic of the debate.
