President… we should lose Hindsight…..

The red-blooded presidents of the US and France study a matter of international interest today - a 17-year-old junior delegate at the G-8 in Italy.

Now a Muslim University to teach Muslims

Union Budget has allocated 25 crore each for the AMU to set up campuses at Murshidabad in West Bengal and Malappuram in Kerala. Outside Kashmir, Murshidabad in West Bengal & Malapurram in Kerala are the only two Muslim majority districts in India. The significance of establishing a Aligarh “Muslim” University in “Muslim” majority districts is not lost to anyone!

One fails to understand the logic behind establishing a AMU campus in these districts. If iot was done for furthering the cause of education &  in these Muslim majority districts then AMU is hardly the best choice! Is it being assumed that a “Muslim” university will be best placed to spread higher education in the area. AMU is not known for its pursuit of all-round excellence. Except for its contribution to Mughal history, made about three decades ago, very little emanating from AMU merits the adjective, ‘excellent’. The university once supported Partition and has been known for harboring communal ideas.

This comes immediately after Mamata announcing free monthly season tickets for  students attending Madrassa, High Madrassa and senior Madrasa. At this pace, day is not far when this “secular” government would announce reservation for Madrassa students, they are anyway now considered par with CBSE students!

Under the present circumstance, one cannot be faulted for believing this move to be one of several steps to appease Muslims. The reasons behind the idea are communal and therefore dangerous for the nation!

Today is Guru Puja

Ancient Hindu texts and traditions have put the guru or the teacher on a pedestal higher than that of God. And Guru Purnima is a time to be grateful, to express gratitude towards, and bow before, the guru.

RSS holds the saffron flag as its guru and therefore the supreme. At the outset, the Sanghachalak performs puja of the saffron flag to mark the beginning of the celebrations. This is a time when each swayamsevak offers the “samarpan rashi”, a token amount of monetary contributions towards the organisation.

It may be hard to believe for many but RSS runs on this Samarpar Rashi. If you would like to offer “samarpan rashi” Please visit nearest shakha.

Looking at Humorous side of 377

Are militants trying to replicate “Hezbollah Model” in Kashmir?

In a first of its kind, Pak-based terror groups fired Three rockets from the Pakistan side of the border with two of them landing in Indian villages, injuring a youth. Luckily, the rockets missed the village and landed in the field. The blasts were so powerful that it created a 10Ft crater!

Why no chaddis are being send to Shiela Dixit

Last year assorted secular activists made a huge hue and cry when few ladies were assaulted in a Pub in Magalore. They launched Pink Chaddi campaign. Union Minister Renuka Choudhary even went a step further by asking people to launch Pub Bharo  campaign. While not justifying that act, it seems the arm chair women activists has conveniently forgotten the real areas of concern.

Delhi has become dreaded for women. A woman is raped in the Indian capital every 1000th Minute!.

From a 18-months old child to a 80-year-old woman none are safe in Delhi.  A latest government data shows that national Capital is one of the most unsafe city among the four metros in India, with Delhi witnessing a rape in every thousand minutes. The statistics prepared by National Crime Records shows that Delhi city, excluding the rural areas. The figures are more dreadful if we include data from whole of Delhi, including rural areas, in these areas 598 rape cases were registered in 2007, that is, every 878.9 minutes, a rape is taking place! For Mumbai the figure was 3020.7 minutes.

Will Shiela Dixit please wake up…..

A Swayamsewak demonstrates how to cycle to ministerdom and win elections on Rs 2500

When other legislators pages for car at Vidhana Soudha, he walks to the scooter stand. Only on the advice of his doctor after he started suffering from spondylitis did he purchase a car, a second-hand one at that. He is yet to set foot on foreign soil

He is S Suresh Kumar law and urban development minister in chief minister B S Yeddyurappa's minsitry. Suresh's association with the RSS started very early. He joined the organisation when he was in the fourth standard.

Suresh's involvement in underground activities protesting against the Emergency in 1975 landed him in jail for 15 months. It was his talk "on the ill effects'' of the Emergency to Commonwealth country delegates at Hotel Ashok that made the party top brass spot his leadership potential. he recalls.

"The government convinced delegates that the situation here was normal. Though there was heavy security in the hotel, I gave the police the slip and entered the bus in which the delegates were about to go to Mysore, and explained that all was not well in the country due to the Emergency,''

Let6s pray RSS continues to produce such Idealists….

I am still trying to figure out if the puke was for the ie8 or for the porn!

Warm Welcome, Gay Pride.. All are mindless imports of western culture

Some time back, I received a meeting agenda from one of my colleagues in Delhi. The first item in agenda read “Warm Welcome by xxxx”. I was a bit taken back on why would a person want more warmth on a 45 degree Delhi Summer Noon. Given an option he would prefer a glass of cold  water in a cold air-conditioned space.  My colleague got shock of his life when he saw the agenda revised to ““Cold Welcome by xxx”. Needless to say, that agenda never saw daylight…

The concept of “Warm Welcome” is a ridiculous copy from western countries with cold climate. In these places, you try comfort a person by warming him up when he arrives from freezing temperature outside.

On similar lines, What is the point in gays taking out gay pride marches in India! The Gay Pride marches were organized to commemorating the anniversary of the Stonewall riot. The Stonewall riots were a series of  violent demonstrations against a police raid that took place on June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn(which was owned by Mafia), in the Greenwich Village, New York City. Will people in United states take out march to commemorate say ……  “Jallianwala Bagh Massacre”. 

This brings up next issue – is it correct that a section of society takes out marches openly flaunting their sexual preferences? I agree with the argument that Government has no business in deciding the sex of ones bed/life partner. It is ones personal choice. But on similar lines, minorities should respect sensitiveness of majority. Imagine a child watching a Gay Pride March and asking for explanation from a heterosexual parents!! 

Tail piece: During my first visit to US.. Year back… I invited one of my colleagues for a fag(lingo for smoking together).. I still remember his face….

And the debate goes on…

Waiting to be a citizen of Gandhistan…

From airports to metro stations, Rajiv Gandhi's name is a popular choice. latest being Bandra-Worli sea link being named after Rajiv Gandhi. Is congress so unimaginative that it cannot think beyond Gandhi Family portfolio of names?

Anyway I am not surprised as Congress even wanted to rename Amethi after Rajiv Gandhi!!! I wonder when India would be renamed as Gandhistan….

Will help family 'unplanning': Kerala church

Worried over what it calls the decline in the numbers of its community young, the Catholic Church in Kerala is planning medical schemes for reversal of tubectomy among women and remedial support for infertile couples.

Fr Jose Kottayil, secretary to Kerala Catholic Bishops Council’s (KCBC) Commission for Family, said the church wants financially-sound families to beget more than two children.

“The church will extend support to women who want to undergo reversal of tubectomy or recanalisation. For this, the church will work out cost-effective packages in the hospitals it runs.”

Imagine the out cry it would have caused if a Hindu Leader had said the same thing!!! In fact, the entire assorted secular brigade went into a trance when Sudarshanji raised the same issue few years back.

Sangh schools score high in Orissa

The NCERT calls its textbooks

"designed to promote bigotry and religious fanaticism in the name of inculcating knowledge of culture in the young generation."

Sagarika Ghose in an Indian Express article wrote about it as

An invisible army hides in the forests of Orissa, growing stronger every day.

Arjun Singh promised to Ban it

Tehelka in an article "A Strange And Bitter Crop" exposed their dangerous plans to bring up young children "‘the Hindu way" by making them chant Brahminical chant — Guru Brahma, Guru Vishnu, Guru Devo Maheshwara.

All these dooms day prophecies by all knowing seculars make one wonder like in English movies… Who are these people?…..

Well these people are RSS run Vidya Bharathi educational institutions. Some of prominent schools under Vidya Bharathi unbrella are Ekal Vidyalaya (26850 Schools), Saraswati Shishu Vidya Mandirs etc.

This year for High School Certificate examinations in Orissa, 44 of the top 102 students were from Saraswati Shishu Vidya Mandirs. In fact, seven of the top 10 ranks are from SVMs. Trends over the past six years have shown that SVMs generally do better than other schools in the state. Last year too, these RSS-run schools had done well with 15 of its students securing top-20 positions.

From humble beginnings in 1978, the march of these RSS-run schools is a success story that has not been highlighted much. Today, there are over 11,000 Acharyas and Gurumas (teachers) in 739 SVMs across the state who live a no-frills life to teach 1.8 lakh students from kindergarten to Class XII for a pittance.

Pitabas Mehena, father of this year’s topper, Bibek Bishal Mehena says

“Though the teachers get lower salaries than their counterparts in government-run high schools, no one can beat them when it comes to dedication towards their students. For them it is a mission,”

Dharanidhar Nath, president of Board of Secondary Examination, the body that conducts the HSC examination.

“In government schools, teachers teach just for the sake of it. In Shishu Mandirs, they attach a lot of ethical value to the education,”

It is no wonder that some of “Minority” organisations and their backers which run education as “business” are threatened and would like to kill this noble mission.

No one wants to talk about Justice Mohapatra Commission

“Secular Media” has gone overboard with Liberhan commission and some even claimed it to be Kick out punch by congress. However, on otherside, they completely ignored Justice Mohapatra Commission. Perhaps because the findings of Justice Mohapatra Commission didnot meet the “secular desires”

Justice Mohapatra Commission was constituted to probe last year’s communal riots in Orissa’s Kandhamal district. Yesterday, a 28-page interim report was submitted about nine months after the probe panel was constituted.

The commission has attributed the prolonged violence to “cumulative anger” of locals, mostly tribals, against the negligence they have suffered for years. The report also blamed land disputes and conflict between tribals and Scheduled Caste ‘panas’ for the violence

To the utter disappointment of secular brigade, And Sangh Parivar's name was not even mentioned for any role in the attacks.

Michael Jackson moves to original Neverland

I dont know why I feel sad and a sense of emptiness…..

Perhaps because at some point in life we all have swayed to his music. Or perhaps because we at some level have a bit of Michael Jackson in us. A little misunderstood, a little childish….

I pray that he has at last found his neverland he was searching for…..

Maya raises statues over hunger of young children

Recent annual malnutrition survey conducted under the Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS) has found that Ghazipur district of Uttar Pradesh has the highest number of children suffering from Grade IV malnourishment.

Worse, these children can barely be given the medical attention that they urgently need, as the health services in the district are abysmal. The office of the district child development programme spells out Ghazipur’s shocking statistics — out of the 1,63,150 children below age ten, 5,532 children are severely malnourished.

However, all this has not stopped Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawati from unveiling 40 statues — including six of her own. Statues of Mayawati and Kanshi Ram at various places in Lucknow costed state exchequer Rs 6.68 crore. And, the 60 marble elephants at the Ambedkar memorial costed Rs 52 crore. This is just tip of iceberg. The Uttar Pradesh culture department's budget for 2009-10 shows that in 2008-09, the department had allocated more than Rs 194 crore for building statues of "great leaders" — the entire amount was spent.
