ShivSena vs Rahul - a real time political chess play!

I love the chess! and have been an avid player during my college days. Lately, due to involvements in some political movements, I found politics is much like chess game. I am here to write a recent political chess moves, hope all readers will like it.
After much of defensive play, Wazeer (Queen) wanted an offensive move to take further advantage in the game. The Fila (Bishop) takes the initiative, pyada (pawn) was sacrified in oder to distract opposition. The Fila went back in defensive position and Wazir march in the opponent's region! Eying to a chekment for opposition in coming few position.
Hope, by this time you have got the game. The Fila or Bishop of this game is Mr. Chavan the Chief Minister of Maharashtra. It is very easy to predict, if there is some Marathi Manush issue, the MNS and Shiv Sena will run after it like hungry vultures. This ploy effectively executed and Mr. Chavan backtracked the statements. Now it was turn of regional chauvinists like MNS and ShivSena. ShivSena was biggest looser after the rise of MNS, hence their old man hit hard verbaly through his writings. Rest of media, aliening to the ruling UPA govt went on rampage against the regional chauvinistic party. Now, the ground was perfect to move for Wazir, Rajkumar Rahul. He visited Bihar under such situations, major media house were more intrested in girls' sexual opinion about Mr Gandhi. The reality of his campus visits was posted by only one or media reports and by bloggers only. And the final blow was Mumbai local train visit! Have look on that visit preparations as a friend Amit Hargude found -
'
More than 300 policemen on field, road from pawan hans to bhaidas hall sanitized, CCTV specially installed for today's visit, at least 500 posters each costing atleast INR 2000 put up across the city, all this and many more for a person who is neither a CM, PM, President or even their son ...... he is just a MP from a place somewhere in UP ........ so much for the austerity drive!
Well, no one can stand the Wazir, everything is perfectly arranged. The public opinion. The crowd, no matter hes intelligent or dumb-head.
Epilogue: despite the favorable media, aide intellectuals and columnists, govt was surrounded on the issue of price rise. The apparent friend of hoarders, the Agriculture minister's statements were provided more evidences in hands of opponents. In wake of coming election and future elevation of this MP, it was a must to divert the attention of everyone and the above plot did that very well.

काहे का शोर!

यह तेरा, वह मेरा
ये कितने का, वो इतने का.
जितने लोग, उतनी आवाजे
उतने सुर और उतनी ही ताने.

यूँ श्रोता बन बैठे हैं,
किसकी माने, किसकी न माने.
रेत सी सरकती जिंदगी,
बदलते मानदंड,
नव अवतरित आशाये
क्षणिक मान और उसकी भाषायें,
कब से कर्ता बन बैठे हैं
जितना करें उतनी अभिलाषाएं.

संकट है यह शोर,
मेरे और तेरे का मायाजाल
कुछ पाने की ख़ुशी,
कुछ न पाने का मलाल
मन का यह शोर बेमिशाल.
बस कुछ सूना जाता है,
क्या नहीं करा जाता है.

कोई रहे या ना रहे यह शोर,
खुद की गवाही करा जाता है.
यह फिर कुछ कहता है -
यह-वह का चक्कर छोड़ो
इस बार इसे सुनते हैं...
अब तो द्रष्टा बन बैठे हैं
फिर काहे का शोर, काहे की आशाये.

Selective Secularists of Indian Media need to learn from this!

'As Muslims attacked Switzerland for the ban, they didn't bother to look at the minorities in their own country who daily have been subjected to a similar fate as Muslims in Switzerland and across Europe.'

- Joseph Mayton, Guardian, UK

Reference: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/belief/2009/dec/06/swiss-minarets-christian-churches-egypt

Comment: Speaking truth is what expected from media, but Indian media is sell out its voice... in trade with perks from government.... a bare truth can harm the religious vote bank of a particular party!
They also forget so quickly the bad deeds and big scams of their Lords. and we also got faithful educated protagonists who can prove every thing for this as they will get some academic post or govt scholarship.
But can anyone cheat its own soul. Ignoring genocide in frontier states (J&K, Assam) and in Vicinity (Pakistan, Bangladesh), for these selective secularists' only concern is a disputed structure made by then an external invader at Mecca of Hindus.
How the millions of Hindus' massacre within last decade does not get enough importance to Indian media, but a disputed structure which was never used to Namaz or whatever. Not only that, the Swiss legislation is being produced here with very bad taste but they wont tell you- you will be arrested if you take Bible or Gita beyond the Airport in Saudi Arabia. They wont tell, in Muslim nations you are not allowed to worship in public place, if you are not a Muslims.
They must feel shameful by their bias act. But they wont! they are shameless.

Lathi-charge and tear gas on JNU students, 18 are seriously injured!

Minutes ago thousands of police forces freely lathi-charged and shot tear gas bombs on JNU students. Eighteen students including six girls are seriously injured and four others are detained by police. The issue was lame response from police on the vandalism by four goons where eve-teasing and abusing students and flashing firearms on watchmen. Students were protesting against the lukewarm response from Delhi Police.
In afternoon, some four persons in a care entered into campus, they were drinking and passing lewd comments on girls. They also misbehaved with on girl. After complaints watchmen stopped them at gate at 3.30 pm, when they were trying to escape. Incidentally I was passing by from the gate, I found those goons were fighting with watchmen, pushing them and abusing them. They also threat for dire consequences to watchmen as they told that they are relative of some ‘commissioner’. A PCR of Delhi police was parked beside but policemen present that time were mere suspect of whole fight.
Seeing the helpless situation of security guards, I asked the incharge of security guards to do at least for self protection. When watchmen retaliated and took action against those goons, another PCR came in with more constables. Instead of tackling with the goons the sub inspector bullied at me, as I asked guards to click the alcohol and pistol as it was found in their car. He used all possible bad words and his power packed dialogs against me. I was surprised to see the protection of criminals and humiliation of the victims by Delhi police. I realized that I am all alone against those goons and ten policemen. Those four goons were safely resting in police care with all protection. Later other students came in and by evening it was a big crowd, still the responsible police officers were not disclosing the names of those predators. Hoping for the assurance from Delhi police of a proper action against the criminals, more students came in, but instead of solving the issue peacefully, again Delhi police committed even bigger mistake. Students are attacked brutally with lathi and tear gas. Two students got both arms broken by police lathi. The irresponsible move was a shocking incident. Till writing of this report eight trucks and three busses of CRPF and many PCRs of Delhi police were at gate.
This incident proved once again that police are for elites! Sticks are for victims…! Protectors of Criminals, Harassers of commoners... It just reminded me of recent Manu Sharma case। We students must feel pity on our Delhi police and ‘iron frame since British Raj’.

(PS: Many more things have happened, including misbehave with Profs, manhandling the students... )
