Escalated Controversy

In southern state of India Andhrapradesh the controversy of damaging statues is escalating.Police is saying that they are trying to nab the culprits behind this heinous activity but the incidents of damaging the statues are increasing.At the same time many different places in the state have witnessed such incidents.Different SC organizations have protested against this damage.They are demanding that culprits must be reined in soon.Police sources say that a 'key accused' in the statue damaging is surredered and he is now in custody.But the sudden erupt in such accidents raises doubts.
As we know that our country is a Political Democracy.So 'politics' is the backbone of our democracy.So happened in the case of desecration of the statues.The controversy escalated across the state on this issue.I think there are some political reasons behind desecration movement.Analysts say that government want to target all the statues across the state, installed without governement's permission.So the leaders who have installed such statues, will be targeted.At the same time we can hope that in future the 'statue politics' will not thrive.Let us hope positive..

Rushdie and Henchmen

The 'festival' ended.I am talking about the so hyped and so called glamorous festival of 'literacy' ended with due controversy in Jaipur.The organizers, from the beginning want to make this affair remember for a long time.Unfortunately Jaipur festival will be remembered for its controversy.The buck started with the name of Salman Rushdie.

The indian born controversial 'author', authored a book called 'Statanic Verses'.In his book he outrightly criticised on Islam and prophet of Islam.His book is banned in India.He not only criticised Isalam also wrote filthy about Hindu Gods an Goddesses.And to all his buck he says that it is 'Freedom of speech'.And some protagonists of freedom also support him.

When the Jaipur literature festival started it was clear that this is started not in the favor of Literature, but to enrage some communities and communal ism and controversy.So the organizers playing the role of Rushdie's henchmen, invited the beleaguered  author.But after protests and agitations his attempt to land at jaipur festival was foiled.He even failed to address the audience through video conference.

But this festival unveiled one thing.The intention of the organizers being cleared.People must know that organizers were not at all in favor of freedom of speech. They just wanted to create controversy and enrage communal tension and nuisance.But the secular and realistic Indian population rejected their bid by agitation.God bless our pluralistic society which respects each others religion, caste and creed.

Statue-tory Politics

Setting up statues of political leaders is a common activity in India.And so is followed in Andhrapradesh extensively.You can see Statues of leaders of different levels.In fact one of the main attractions of Hyderabad, Tank bund is known also for the statues(Damaged during the Million march of Telangana agitation) of different leaders on the banks.The unfortunate thing with these statues is the utter negligence by government and some times damage by some hooligans.Recently some statues of Dr.BR Ambedkar were damage in East Godavari district.

The intention behind this act was not clear still, but it has raised a new controversy in the state.At the same time it also gave a chance to stage political dramas for some opportunistic politicians.These statues were damaged amidst the  discussion of ignoring the lower castes in the State cabinet was going on.Some political leaders of backward classes were seen criticizing their top leadership.

So the timing of this incident(damage to the statues of Ambedkar) raises doubts.However state government responded to the controversy and assured to arrest the culprits very soon.But before that BJP leaders protested against this 'damage' and staged a dharna in front of a Ambedkar Statue.

Before this incident there was another story of statues was on, and that was the statement of TDP prez N.chandrababu's comment on the statues of late CM, YSR.Naidu in his statement told that all the statues of late CM, YSR should be demolished.By giving such statement he invited the flak of all YSR 'Abhimanis'.He was severely criticised for that statement.And again if we think these statements shared were revolving around  a 'Statue'.
Mostly when a statue of a leader,either a political or religious leader is erected it will be remembered for a short time.And the statue gets the prestige and importance on some 'special' occasions.But as the time passes on these statues are neglected and some time fall pray to weather hardships.I have shared my views on this topic.We have to think over the erection of statues of leaders once again.Are we giving respect to the leaders or using their 'effigy' to get some benefits or hurting their soles...

Somalia Calling

Man is a social animal.A common proverb, which many students come to know during their schooling.But now these 'social' animals are busy in social networking sites.They cut themselves from the social life and still proclaim to be a socialite.Many such 'Animals' want themselves to be known as  a socialite.Here, I am not talking about a particular group of people or people of a particular region of the world.

From the proverb mentioned above we can happily omit the word 'Social' and the remainder will be an 'animal' obviously.Today on this earth human beings are living with new technology and latest updates in the many domains life.But these human beings are encompassed in their own circles forgetting the whole world around.And some of the groups of Human beings are bearing the brunt.

Such are the Somalians.Their mistake is to be a part of 'human beings' it seems.The reason is they are being forgot by the whole community of Human being.The situation in Somalia will never allow human beings to ignore them like this.Thousands of people, most of them women and children are dying daily due to hunger.Somalia is now under a severe feminine conditions.Many lands of Somalia gone drought and lacks of people migrated from the main land Somalia.

The cities of Somalia are deserted and desert became the graveyard of many innocent Somalians. Somalians, the unfortunate human beings, are now looking for the help and aid of the other human beings.If we are social animals we have to think about other sections of Human Society.The whole world is a human society.If we ignore Somalians in their bad times then we should think whether we are human beings or anti human beings.We call ourselves a social being and still we ignore other people of our society.

State Cabinet

Andhra pradesh state, for a long time, known as a stronghold of congress party.Among 42 Parliamentary seats here congress managed to fetch 32 seats.But now the times changed.The separate statehood Telangana issue quelled without any proper solution.But the 'Chingari' of revolt is not silenced.The demand for telangana still remains among the people.Though the Telangana issue is not on the cards of political leaders, the sentiment is not on the roads.On the other hand the Telangana Congress leaders are agitating against the Seemandhra domination in the cabinet.

Unhappy over the recent cabinet 'induction'.State government,being pressurized by Chiranjeevi bandwagon, inducted its two members in the cabinet.Though many sections of Congress party were against such 'induction'. At the same time the seema leader and PCC chief Botsa were of an idea to induct his men in the cabinet.Where as Chief minister was also busy in lobbying for his men.But Congress high command does not bent to both of the leaders and permitted only two PRP leaders to be inducted in cabinet.The oath taking ceremony was very simple and fast.The two were given two portfolios. But the uneasy feeling was visible right from the start of this debate of expansion in the cabinet.Telangana legislators were expecting berths in cabinet as they were reportedly promised by the High command.

When the Telangana issue was on its peak, the Telangana congress leaders were told to keep quiet.In return congress leaders were lured with the promise of rewards and posts in party and government.But only few leaders from Telangana got the 'rewards'.So, naturally the other Telangana leaders feel they are in lurch and lagging in nabbing the posts.

The other congress leaders expected to get berths in cabinet.But meanwhile the merger of PRP raised identity problems for the Telanagan leaders in congress.The bigwigs of Telangana were ignored or marginalized in party after the induction of PRP MLAs in the party.

But now the Telangana leaders are not showing any interest towards any activity of party and they are also threatening to ignore the campaigning of upcoming by elections in the Telangana region.Congress is fearing to lose the support of its own party leaders.Analysts and some sources in Congress party are saying now that there will be another shuffle in State Cabinet to cool down the Telangana Congress leaders.Let us see what happens to the Kiran's Cabinet in the near future..

BSF (Brutal,Silly,Filthy)

This is second time i am writing about Army.As an Indian I obviously salute the military and other defence personnels who are guarding the nation across the borders.But recently we heard about a silly and shameful act of BSF Jawans near the Indo-Bangla border.

After looking at that video one can understand how cruel are those Jawans.They don't have any respect towards Humanity.No doubt the duty of Border security forces is to protect the nation from any kind of infiltration and invasion as well.But humiliating a unarmed and civilian cannot be supported.However the eight BSF jawans were identified and suspended from the services.

The jawans not only stripped the Bangladeshi national, they also beaten him up and tortured. One of them, obviously, was busy in recording that 'activity'.We are not supporting the victim as he in filtered into Indian territory illegally.But the way he was treated is in human.No body will support such treatment.The Jawans must have to report the higher authorities.BSF jawans unnecessarily tortured the Bangladeshi national.This not only tarnished the image of Indian Army but also raises doubts over the deaths near borders.By stripping a person and beating in a brutal way now BSF jawans also stood by side of American Marines who are well know for their torturing acts.Specially in many hidden Jails American Marines torture the jail mates mercilessly.But fortunately the Border Security force authorities announced that the incident will be probed and strict action will be taken.

Government vs Army

Its a tale of two countries,two governments,two Generals and very much similar two problems..these countries are neighbours and Nuclear capable...
  In any country the Government and Army are the two major institutions of power.In fact they are the main power centres of any country.In our country the Army and our democratically elected government show a great understanding. But for some days there are some misunderstandings between Military chief Gen.VK singh and the central government.The misunderstanding is about the date of birth of Army chief.If we look at the version of Gen. singh he says that his date of birth is May 10, 1951.Where as the government says that the actual DoB is May10, 1950. If the version of government is assumed correct then general Singh has to retire in May this year.

But if the General's version is right then he can serve as an Army Chief for more one year.This rift of DoB emerged and came into light recently when Gen. VK singh's tenure neared to end.Gen.Singh moved to Supreme court against this 'misunderstanding' of Central government.This is the first time when when an Army chief aproached apex court against Centre.

This is the case in India.If we look into the political developments in our neighbouring country Pakistan there are many similarities.In Pakistan we have seen that government and its Army stood opposite to each other on the issue of a 'Secret Memo'. This memo became a Scandal and got the name 'Memogate'. As a nearest neighbour India is more expressed concerns on the developments in pakistan.

Pakistan's Prime minister Yusuf Raza Gilani and President Zardari with other cabinet colleagues recently had a meeting with Pak Army chief Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani.The political leadership of Pakistan clarified the doubts of Army chief about the Secret Memo. Actually the Memo gate involved the United States as a third partry.Political leadership tried to impress the Army with good will gesture. In the case of Pakistan it is a historic fact that the democracy lied fragile.Where as in the case of India the Army-Government row is of domestic nature and no other country is in no way involved.Here Supreme power is democracy and in Pakistan democracy is on the mercy of Army.

But interestingly these two Nuclear capable neighbours are facing  the similar problem i.e.,rift between Government and Army....We hope, on both sides the problem will be resolved very soon....Long live Democracy.....

Krishna's Crush...

Our 'honourable' external affairs minister SM Krishna recently visited a most controversial part of the earth. He felt extraordinarily 'honoured' and Impressed a lot by the gesture.Yes, he visited Israel and astonished by the opportunistic respect of Israeli leaders, Krishna told that Israel is the 'Natural ally' of India.By what means Israel is India's natural ally only Krishna can explain.

Neither Israel geographically close to India nor in any aspect it is similar to India and Indian society.Ours is a Pluralistic society and Israel is strongly against such societies.But in view of 'External Affairs' minister Krishna Israel is the 'Natural Ally'.

India signed many MoUs with Israel in defence and communication sector.Though he also visited other Arab countries but the News maker was his Israel's visit.Before 1990s India won't support Israel.But our Beleaguered late prime minister PVN Rao started diplomatic ties with Israel, opposing our years old non aligned policy.For the last fifty years India supported Palestine and Palestinian cause.

But against the sentiments of Indian Muslims the Indian government is now romancing with Israel.Israel is not accepted diplomatically by many countries. And such a big democracy India is strengthening its ties with an 'illegal state' Israel. Israel came into existence by a unlawfully acquiring the lands of Palestinians.Israel tops the list of countries for the breach of International laws. With such 'country' India is flirting.

We as Indians will never accept that Israel is our 'Natural ally'.The government of India should have to rethink about its stance on Israel.Government should not try to mess with the sentiments of Muslim community.No doubt Israel is far ahead in technology and they are ready to provide precious training to indians in many sectors but still Israel is the country which violates the International human rights laws.There is lot to say about this 'Unnatural Comment' passed by our External affairs minister.The buck never stops as it started now.....

Thinking West

Cold Weather-Hot Politics

The whole northern belt is experiencing severely cold weather conditions.For last one month the weather conditions in north india including Capital city Delhi is not normal.Recently due to heavy snow fall in Kashmir, affected the already bad atmosphere.In many states like Panjab, Haryana, and North UP the temperature gone below ten degree Celsius.And visibility due to snow fell to very low level.

Now after a rain fall in Haryana and New Delhi it seems there is a relief from cold weather.But contrarily the Political weather is so hot for last two months in many of the northern states.After the announcement of dates and schedule for the polls in five states the political heat increased.

Presently the Election Commision's order to drape the Mayawati's election symbol Elephant and her statues is making the news.Different political leaders and parties responded to this decision differently.some say that this is irrational and some opine it a not wise decision.Where as the process of covering the statues of Mayawati and elephants has been started.

Five states of north India are going to witness a massive campaigning and election process from the end of January.So the weather is cool in north india but the politics are hot.During this shivering cold wave the political leaders of different political parties are changing their mind and parties as well.The ruling BSP in UP have recently scrapped its tainted ministers and leaders.

Among them Kushwaha made a news when picked up by BJP. Though he 'offered' to quit the Bhajpa after receiving severe opposition from sangh leaders and senior BJP leaders.In other states like Panjab the political equations are frequently changing.On the other hand the Rajasthan's ruling Congress government is under the criticism due to the 'Bhanwari' case.

Thought the Gehlot government sacked the 'tainted' and accused minister Mahipal Maderna and a MLA Malkhan singh the case is haunting congress party in Rajasthan.But the weather is cold and many places in north india witness snow fall.The weather is relatively cold and the politics on high.Due to the coldest weather many homeless are dying and due to the hot political weather many leaders are feeling the heat of extinction and many are trying to be recognised.

Victimising and Compensating

In many cases, some police and government official false fully involve the innocent people and their lives become a tragic story of victimisation.Generally it happens when some 'promotion seeking' and inefficient police and intelligence officials try to show their 'ability' in solving problems. In case of Macca masjid blast case happened the same.On May 18, 2007 the blast occurred at Makka masjid of hyderabad. At least five people died due to the powerful explosion during the friday prayer and few injured. The muslims who were panicked due to the blast came outside shouting only to face the police firing.In that time of chaos the police officers deployed near makka masjid opene fire.In police firing many innocent people died and police targeted the people who were trying to shift the injured in the firing.That was the very brutal and real face of the police who want to 'quell' the 'mob'.

These were the happenings of the bomb and its immediate aftermath.But later begins the real show of police and intelligence officials.Police on the next day claimed to have traced the bombers and announced the name of 'shahid bilal'. Who is he nobody know till now.Police arrested as many as hundred Muslim youth from city accusing them of having planned for blast.How in-logical!

Can a person blast his worshipping cite and his fellow brothers?But police accused Muslim youth for the blast. Later it was proved that the bomb was carried out by some actual 'terror' groups of Sangh.Swami aseemanand was arrested from Haridwar. Later he confessed to his crime and other terror activities across the nation. He also told the court in Hyderabad and Haryana that in majority of terror activities sangh groups are involved.

During these four years the falsely accused Muslim youth incarcerated and tortured to accept their 'crime'. Their studies, career and social life was scrapped.But after a long time torture and abuse of police, the day comes when they were released and all the charges levelled against them proved false in the court of law.State government, which was acting like a silent spectator , now came forward to give the compensation to the innocent Muslim youth.
The NGO's from city who were supporting the freed victims of police,earlier demanded to government that compensation to innocent Muslims should be given from the salaries of police personnel who made them accused and tortured.But ironically the compensation to victims was given from the funds of Waqf.How surprising once again!..

Government earlier assured to give the character certificate to the victims but at the eleventh hour changed its mind and no such certificate was given.
Interestingly many of the invitee state ministers were not present in the ceremony for the distribution of compensation.
But can we consider it a compensation? Many muslim students were dragged in the false cases and their careers spoiled.The educated young muslims were tagged with a 'terrorist'.Unfortunately when police was announcing the names of these victims as prime accused the regional media was creating a hype and it was not missing a singly update.But when the victims were freed and given compensation the 'media' was silent.

In the name of some muslim names the whole community was targeted at mass level.Isn't it?Yes I as a member of muslim community can feel that pain and it is the feeling of every muslim youngster.

Are You Bearded....

Writing about a beard is not a wise selection I think.But this thing is dominating in media and sometimes become a deciding factor of many things.In media the beard is extensively discussed and portrayed for many things.At the same time the beard is believed sacred in almost every religion.One can observe that every holy person had a beard.But in this 'New World Order' (don't confuse with law and order) the definitions and interpretations of 'things' (tangible and intangible) are changed.If you are sporting a beard you need to be very careful now a days.Because for some 'sensitive' human beings you may become a reason of terrorizing.But before going ahead, i want to clear the air about a 'beard'. If you have ever seen a picture or portrait of Jesus Christ, you might have observed that He is with  beard.

He is worshiped by Christians and also believed by Muslims as a prophet.Many religious Hindu leaders sport a beard and consider it a symbol of dignity.But at many occasions the beard raised eyebrows and controversies.

If you have ever seen a rabbi, also he has a beard.Muslims also sport a beard but not all. We can say that a major population of Muslims keep beard.Almost all the priests and Godly people keep beard.But ironically beard is now a symbol of 'terror', isn't it.How surprising! The above mentioned people are pious and peaceful propagating.

But now if we look around us, we can easily feel the uneasy weather.I am not talking about only my state India;but in the international scenario the beard has become the crucial reason of culpability.why!?..This is the question you and I cannot the get the answer.
Can any body demonize such a pious thing beard with a tag of terror.A positive thinking person will never accept it.I will not go in details but you have to understand what I want to express here. I will give you one example. Something terrific happens in a capital city of our country.And within one day you will be listening that Delhi police cracked the crime and now they are releasing the 'sketches' of culprits with 'beard'. Here comes the beard.Hahahahah!
Now I think you have understood what I wanted to speak about.Why making the beard a symbol of terror.I think by showing such sketches police and others ( of course media as well) is not only targeting a particular community but training guns towards every religious leader of different religions.

We have seen the examples earlier.Interestingly our Yoga Guru Baba ramdev also keeps a beard.Can we attribute any thing terrific to him.Will people or his (ramdev's) followers accept this.so my view is, don't make the appearance culpable.Appearance cannot be attributed with some wrong activities.If our media and some fascist forces in our police  and intelligence department are creating suspicion about a beard they training the guns towards democracy and humanity.

A New Year (Again)

Happy New year.This small piece of sentence haunts poor like us at least for one week of the new year.whether you are in office, college, Market or anywhere alive, you have to face this 'attack'.Whether you are happy or sad or terrorized, you will be greeted with 'Happy New Year'. Unwantedly and unwillingly you have to reply with the same zeal and 'enthusiasm'.Now we are in the year 2012.We left the past that is 'passed' but could not 'pass' the crucial 'lokpal bill' in the parliament.But still people wish us with a smile for the new year.In their view they are right but we cannot ignore the absurdities of 'past' that is passed and 'present' that is being pierced into our lives.For many, my words may seem to be new and ridiculous but a 'common' man of india 'Commonly Known' as Aam Admi, will definitely understand my feelings.Am absolutely not happy with this new year. Yes, because i don't have any hope of any good and any happier moments at least in this new year.

Every newspaper and News-channel is highlighting the 'highlights' of last year.Some of the 'highlights' are celebrity marriages,great happenings,great breakups and many more from showbiz.Death news of many dignitaries was also highlighted in Media.But unfortunately the poor sections of our society were not given that space which glamour enjoyed.No body (of course few) covered the plight of starvation population of countryside, and plight of farmers was also not the headline of any news paper.The media covers these stories just to make sensation and get the readership or viewership.The cricket is regularly on the cards of media to gain viewership and adds.

The other aspect of the New year is business.You may be thinking what type of business is related to new year.? Yes its all about business.Before one week or ten days of new year we see every body is hearing(of course by virtue of media) and talking about the Next year.

The media is abuzz with the news of new year celebration tips and 'methods' and 'spots' as well.We see many traders are selling wishing cards. We see people are buying novelties to present as gifts.This culture was not seen before ten years in our country.But now its very common right from a metro city to a small town.Bakers business booms.People of our country forget every misery and every scam which was topic of the town and which is severely affecting our pockets indirectly.On the other hand liquor business also thrive during the new year celebrations. Beaches of the different parts of our country witness a common 'flesh trade' and so on....Where does this lead to...?I am not a fanatic but a critique.The traders of different trades are making the huge population (america and other countries look it as a huge market) of our nation fools.They are creating such 'Days', 'Celebrations' and fetching the money.So by celebrating New year we are losing our hard earnings.Are we falling short of any festival.Can we (indians)count our plenty of celebrations.Then what is the need of new and obviously imported celebrations..
