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.
