But for God’s sake don’t spoil sports potential of the country

Despite repeated directions of the International Olympic Committee not to hold election under Government patronage, the tainted and corrupt followers of Kalamady got themselves elected in stage-managed election in which Chautala and Bhanot became president and general secretary. Now the Indian Olympic Association has been declared illegitimate and stands derecognized.

Here it happens in India only that people coming out right from jail march straight into donning prestigious posts that too of paramount national importance. The union government sees no wrong. It is not surprising seeing its attitude and track records vis a vis corruption in public and corporate places.

But for God’s sake don’t spoil sports potential of the country. Bring in legislation to man sports organizations with people of eminence in the realm of sports only. But the ruling and the opposition parties both are hand in glove in reaping the fruits.

Complete failure of Constitutional machinery in Jammu & Kashmir.



Today one popular English daily has carried alarming news about the Jehadis, Mujahidins and separatists getting into the bureaucracy, police and judiciary of the state of J & K. If the terrorists have permeated the organs of the government then it is possible only with tacit support of the Farooq govt. and the State Public Service Commission. This is the reason that the secrecy of any police or military operation against the terrorists reaches across the border beforehand causing heavy causality in terms of life and resources.
There is complete failure of Constitutional machinery in Jammu & Kashmir.

पाकिस्तान के कराची में एक बिल्डर के द्वारा एक प्राचीन हिन्दू मंदिर ध्वस्त

आज कुछ बड़े अख़बारों में पाकिस्तान के कराची में एक बिल्डर के द्वारा एक प्राचीन हिन्दू मंदिर ध्वस्त करने की खबर छपी है / पाकिस्तान में हजारों मंदिर आज़ादी के बाद तोड़ दिए गए / हमारे देश के "धर्म निरपेक्ष " राज नेता जो जिन्नाह के कब्र पर माल्यार्पण करते हैं ऐसे मौकों पर मौन हो जाते हैं / देशद्रोहियों को तो वोट से मतलब है / बहुसंख्यकों के साथ भेद भाव तथा पक्षपातपूर्ण की नीति अन्याय की श्रेणी में नहीं आते / यह लाभ उन्हें इस लिए मिलता है  कि  वे हिन्दू हैं इसलिए वे हिन्दुओं को जम कर गालियाँ देते हैं ताकि अल्पसंख्यकों के वोट लेकर सत्ता में रहें तथा देश को पुरजोर लूटें / जो जितनी गालियाँ दे वह उतना बड़ा सेक्युलरिस्ट है / पाकिस्तान के साथ वीसा शिथिल करने ,उनके भारत में निर्बाध आने , आतंकवाद में शामिल होने तथा आइ एस आइ के एजेंडा को पूरा करने का पूरा अधिकार है। इतना ही नहीं, फिल्मों में तथा गायन में हम उन्हें काम भी देते हैं। ''अमन की आशा'' के सूत्रधारों को कश्मीर में हिन्दुओं पर अत्याचार नज़र नहीं आते। मुंबई हमलों के गुनाहगार हमारे  राजकीय अतिथि हैं। यहाँ पाकिस्तानी आयें लोगों की हत्याएं करें कोई बात नहीं। हम सबूत पर सबूत दें पर पाकिस्तान कोई कार्रवाई न करे कोई बात नहीं। हम तो उन्हें क्रिकेट खेलायेगे ही हमें तो उन्हें मोस्ट फेवर्ड नेशन की फैसिलिटी देनी है। देश का विभाजन धर्म के आधार पर हो जाये कोई बात नहीं। 1946-47 में सिख और हिन्दुओं का पाकिस्तान में बलात्कार , हत्या, पलायन हो जाये कोई बात नहीं/ हम तो देश के विभाजन के दोषी नेताओं को हिरो मानते रहेंगे /अमर शहीद मेजर कालिया तथा उनके साथियों को पाकिस्तान टार्चर करके मार दे कोई बात नहीं। 1948, 1965, 1971 और 1999 के युद्धों को पाकिस्तान छेड़े कोई बात नहीं। कारगिल में हजारों सैनिक शहीद हो जाएँ कोई बात नहीं। लेकिन हम तो भाई सेक्युलरिस्ट हैं देश को सत्ता में रह कर लूटेंगे नहीं तो कैसे चलेगा। वोट बैंक बना के रखो काम आयेगा देश की अखंडता भाड़ में जाये। गिलानी, मिर्वैज़ सलामत रहें।
बहुसंख्यक समाज को आज सोचना होगा कि कबतक जात पात में विभाजित होकर देशद्रोही राजनेताओं के हाथ हम शोषित होते रहेंगे। इस देश में इस समाज की महती जिम्मेदारी है कि देश सही अर्थों में न्याय तथा विधि का अनुशरण  करे तथा सारे भारतीयों के लिए देश प्रथम हो बाद में मज़हब। एक बार जन तंत्र के मताधिकार का प्रयोग एकजुट होकर करने की ज़रुरत है ताकि अवसरवादी भ्रष्ट नेताओं को परास्त किया जा सके।

V.S Naipaul is a colossus and Girish Karnad is a trifle



Girish Canard created a raucous in an award giving ceremony in Mumbai a day before yesterday that was organized to felicitate one of the greatest littérateurs of our time Sir V.S Naipaul the Nobel Prize winner for literature. It is utterly disgraceful for us that a man perhaps hired by some vested interests has tried to insult a much respected worldwide acclaimed foreign writer of Indian lineage on Indian soil.

Karnad is critical of the narration "the Taj Mahal conjured for him the toil, sweat and blood that had gone into this vain construction, a monument to death and the memory of a tyrant". This is a historical fact attested to by many historians. The construction had gone for more than two decades at a massive cost. It was the saga of exploitation and ruthlessness to celebrate perverted notion of love by a cruel king. The masons’ hands were chopped off in order to prevent them from erecting another mansion of similar grandeur.   While the physical form of the mausoleum is a beautiful piece of architecture; the intrinsic spirit within is that of tears, blood, helplessness and forced labor of the unfortunate subjects of an alien ruler.

Karnad’s lack of knowledge or may be his selective amnesia of the historical accounts made by a number of the English or Indian historians  about the all-out, united and resolute Muslim attacks on the Vijay Nagar empire culminated into its ruination, is an stark reality.   Does he know what Malik Kafur did even much before?

Karnad has further charged Naipaul with being anti Muslim for his statement that "the construction of a mosque by the first mogul emperor  at Ayodhya was an act of hubris". It is again a archeological truth that Ayodhya was a pre-historic religious site whereas the Islam came into being in the sixth century A.D. Obviously Naipaul has been quite correct. Moreover Naipaul’s entire family except him is Muslim even his adopted children are Muslims. Can we find such a religiously tolerant man as Naipaul  in India or outside?

Karnad has through his histrionics catapulted himself in media glare by abusing a person of world fame. I hope he is rewarded by the dispensation of the day at least with Bharat Ratna for which he did all this consciously.

Perhaps some persons have empathy with the alien aggressors because of their genome adulteration. Today ‘Indian secularism’ stands for discrimination in favour of one particular community much less against Sikhism, Christianity, Buddhism or others. Because they are not significant in the vote-politics. The killers of the Sikhs in 1984 are still at large.

People must be wary of such biased secularists and so-called progressive historians and thespians thriving on govt. largesse.

कोई भी नागरिक अपने देश का पिता यानि सृजक कैसे हो सकता है ?

आज समाचार-पत्रों में पढ़ा कि सूचना के अधिकार के अंतर्गत भारत सरकार ने स्पष्ट किया है कि वह  गांधीजी को राष्ट्रपिता की उपाधि नहीं दे सकती क्यों कि भारत का संविधान अनुच्छेद १८ ऐसे उपाधि कि अनुमति नहीं देता / अर्थात गांधीजी विधिवत राष्ट्रपिता नहीं हैं / 

मुझे यह जानकर संतोष हुआ कि क़ानूनन कम से कम गांधीजी इस देश के बाप नहीं हैं / निस्संदेह गांधीजी एक महान मनुष्य थे / ईमानदार, साहसी तथा सत्यप्रिय / लेकिन मनुष्य होने की कतिपय दुर्बलताएं भी थीं / निष्कर्ष यह कि वे  स्वतंत्र भारत के बिस्मार्क नहीं बन सके / इतिहास में कई ऐसे प्रसंग हैं जो मेरे ऐसे विचारों को पुष्ट करते हैं /

कोई भी नागरिक अपने देश का पिता यानि सृजक कैसे हो सकता है ?

Nitin Gadkari must quit party post

Nitin Gadkari the BJP president must resign to salvage the party image which claims itself to be a party with a difference.  The allegations of malpractices need to be dispelled and for a fair inquiry his resignation is a prerequisite.

 

But unlike the UPA and particularly the Congress, Gadkari has repeatedly asked for an extensive inquiry. The governmental agencies under the UPA have certainly failed to curb pseudo companies and unlawful trade practices by proxy entities. Crony capitalism is the biggest malaise today.

Tinker Not With RTI Act 2005



The Prime Minister’s statement to constrict the scope and objective of the R.T.I Act 2005 does not auger well with the democratic notion of transparency in governance. He has also found fault with the most important provision of the Act that bars the P.I.O to question motive of the information seeker.

Recently the judiciary also has put a wide range of restrictions on the flow of information debilitating provisions of the Act. After initial success in effective implementation of the inchoate legislation under the then Chief Central Information Commissioner Wajahat Habibullah, now after 7 years all the organs of the democracy except the Press have been trying hard to throttle the Act. 

In Bihar also the inaugural dispenses of information under Justice S.K Singh at the state commission were quite satisfactory. But with the appointment of Ashok Chaudhary at the helm, the transparency law became a liability rather causality.

We find today that all the state actors across the board; the states, the Centre or the judiciary are not very enthusiastic  to part with information as sought for by people.

The credit goes to the RTI Act that scams and scandals are being exposed every now and then and there is fear in the mind of the public authorities for doing wrong.
The need of the hour is to put the Act in the 9th schedule of the Constitution vide Art.-31B.

GANDHI-NEHRU POLITICAL LEGACY A BURDEN IN PERSPECTIVE OF HARD INDIAN REALITIES



The Air Chief marshal of India N.A.K Brown has stated recently that Jawaharlal Nehru the then  P.M  did not permit the air force to bombard Chinese positions in 1962 war for fear of more fierce offensive by China. This fact is not new. Our country has been governed by timid (if not cowardly) leadership barring Shastri, Indira and Vajpayee. The result has been terrible for us and we lost lakhs of sq.miles of Indian territories in the north and the northeast. Now China stages intrusions almost every day into our borders. It has installed infrastructure, military equipments and immense manpower accretions in the Pak-occupied J&K. Our borders are in constant danger of being violated as no matching military facilities have yet been put in place to counter any outside aggression. The Chinese bellicose and imperious attitude continues to be a challenge with wide international ramifications for our national interests. Gandhi-Nehru legacy has bled this country profusely. The communal bifurcation of the country on the basis of so-called two-nation theory and lackadaisical, ineffective, inadequate and belated response to Pakistani invasion of J&K in 1948 is the genesis of today’s social disharmony, communalism and terrorism.

Still we adore and lionize Gandhi and Nehru as national Heroes who comprised a failed leadership.

It is high time the distorted history authored by vested interests over the years gave way to impartial accounts of historicism.
