Being A Rebel

It is an easy guess! Kattar Imandar is doing everything to kill the Indian democracy. Ironically, no one is writing about it. People who are so worried about democracy and parliament, never talk about the way democracy is undermined in the Delhi assembly.   Unlike the national parliament or other state assemblies, different sessions are not organised here. Because, it has to start with the speech of the Lt Governor. And Kejriwal won't like that. So, Delhi's legislative assembly is always at disposal of Kejriwal, whenever he wants to do his nonsense, the session is always on! He would go and do nonsense.    I wonder why Delhi BJP guys never highlight this murder and mockery of democracy! What is stopping them to do so? Since, media has power to set the narrative, he heavily pay them. Kejriwal has found the ultimate recipe of political success:  Promise to give everything free, when failed, blame others.  Give huge money to media houses so that they can't report ...

In recent years, there have been several exposes of the media-government collaboration. Some of them have been even shaming the profession of journalism. Nira Radiia, B. Dutt and many others found working in favor of ministers and the government. This nexus has been very useful for the government, as they can get away with biggest graft charges easily. After all, common people have short term memories like gold fish! One of such media guy rise up to PMO and become OSD with media in charge to PM. When everyone, among media houses and the intellectual – liberal class was silently endorsing every act of the government, Pratap Bhanu Mehta (@pbmehta ) had a late realization of it and came up with this article 'While we were silent' There is a saying in Hindi which reads, "Ek to chori, upar se seena jori." The UPA government is exactly doing the same, when OSD to PMO Mr Pankaj Pachauri blamed eminent academician and columnist Prof P B Mehta as 'he was sleeping while...

भूमिका: गत दिनों मुनव्वर राना साहब NDTV के एक कार्यक्रम पर आये. मैं उनकी शायरी का बहुत बड़ा प्रशंसक हुआ करता था. ये जनाब राय बरेली के हैं, और शायरी में बेजोड़ हैं. अपने समय के शीर्ष शायरों में इनको शुमार किया जाता है.     लेकिन उस NDTV वाले कार्यक्रम में मैंने इनका एक अलग ही चेहरा देखा. जो जिन्ना और तालिबान का मिला जुला प्रतीत हुआ: "तुम्हे हुकूमत मिली तुम गुजरात बनाते हो,  हमें  हुकूमत मिली हम दिल्ली बनाते हैं... हम  औरंगजेब हैं, हम अपनी खिचड़ी खुद पकाते हैं" मुनव्वर साब से ये मुल्लागिरी की उम्मीद नहीं थी. बहरहाल, उनको जवाब मिलना चाहिए: गुजरात याद रखते हो, काश्मीर भूल जाते हो,  कैसे सेकुलर हो अपना नाम भूल जाते हो... पोलिटिकली कर्रेक्ट होना तो बहुत आसान है,  हैरानी है कि हजारों की गयी जान भूल जाते हो... मज़हब की दूकान सरेआम चला लेते हो,  लेकिन अपना फ़र्ज़ और इमान भूल जाते हो... नोआखाली से रावलपिंडी तक कौम बना लेते हो,  और लाखों की गयी जान भूल जाते हो... आगजनी और लूट का अधिकार याद रखते हो,  और अपनी जमीं अपना हिंदुस्त...

Officially the first citizen of India and the supreme commander of Indian Armed forces, the president is not more than a rubber stamp. Since it is symbolically important to the image and nature of the nation, it reflect the ruling regime and also the electoral fallacy or electoral wisdom. Last president, allegedly a cook of Gandhi dynasty, reflected India's timid and remote controlled image for 5 years. Today, new president election results are to be declared. And to keep its tradition, UPA is making another dynasty loyalist Pranab who has a long history as crooked!  Here are some of his hight level corruption charges: 1. He was holding 'office of profit' at the time he filled nominations. 2. Shah commission, which was made to examine the culprits of Emergency 1975, found Pranab as one of the main power exploiter. 3. As per Frontline : "The commission noted in great detail that Pranab had played a great role in unceremoniously removi...

“Ignorance is the night of the mind, a night without moon or star”  ~ Confucius Starting with this quote of Confucius, I wanted to draw our attention on the ignorance we are carrying forward in our daily life. It is not about being a pessimist or being a critique, but an observation from real life situation.  Talking about our society and country... a high level of ignorance could be found at every aspect. It is not only political, economic but also societal and personal. One of the most common attribute to the ‘educated’ class, when you talk about ‘politics’ or ‘public policy’ they make face of disgust. It a fashion and its contagious. They would flaunt it and say, ‘I hate politics’. Majority of them, never go and vote. However, they never miss a chance to cruse and abuse the criminal type political leader who was elected due to ignorance of such people. But they love their ignorance! And you cant convince them to do... not to blame.  The...

While all Indians are living uncomfortably under a scam ridden country, the trails of graft and scams are still coming with same speed.  For example, just one major 2G scam ($ 40 Million) is substantial portion of   India's GDP   ($1.73 Trillion). Since then huge scams like  Commonwealth Games Scam,  Coal Scam, KG Basin Oil Block selling, NRHM Scam, MNREGA Scam and IPL Scam are equally huge, the portion of black money is huge in proportion in Indian power game.  It is funny to see the top brass of government are not only covering up all he scams but also taking retrogressive steps to shoot down new business and start-ups.  The Annual Budget 2012-2013 of Indian Union presented by Finance Minister Pranab Mukharjee imposed a new tax ‘Startup Tax’. “It is proposed to insert a new clause in section 56(2). The new clause will apply where a company, not being a company in which the public are substantially interested, receives, in an...

While caste being less and less important in common lives of Indians, caste-politics is picking up and growing up to deeper depths. Education and appointments are totally casteists now, even the text book and examination papers are becoming tool for justification of caste politics and vote bank politics.             When India won freedom, entire population was poor and illiterate, regardless of its caste line. Reservations were far less and only in Electoral and public jobs. At present, 64 years down the line, Indian populous is richer and more literate and even more urban (where caste don’t even matter in real life), the caste quotas are must increased and infested all higher educational institutes even specialized agencies such as ISRO, NRSA, DRDO and all other government agencies. What is making this tendency stronger? Certainly nothing but the lust of power, which is being clinched through divisive vote bank policies....

Udayveer ji, talking about the caste should not be one sided. What Dr Ambedkar did was not Annihilation of caste but rather insitutionalization of caste. The worst form of caste discrimination, which is publish in the govt report or any other report - is not universal. Even today, 99% atcrocities against poor or dalits are done by the so called OBC castes, who gets more reservations than even dalits! Talking on Dr Ambedkar, he was an educated rhetoric. His father was working in army. Local king sponsered all education on Mr Ambedkar. Despite that, He never participated in freedom struggle, also demanded separate electoral. Political parties and govt documents often lie in order to maintain the political correctness, referring him as a freedom fighter. He was never one. Read and think. Let's talk about another great leader who also belong to same caste - Babu Jagjeevan Ram. He was a great freedom fighter, finest statesman and perhaps he inducted several dalits in main str...

With the largest number of Assembly and Parliament seats, Uttar Pradesh has always foretold the direction of Indian politics. Current assembly elections too are not an exception.   However, people of Uttar Pradesh dint participate much in polling until these 2012 Assembly elections. It was a huge increase at 59.48 %. Though It was bit lesser than the other four states such as Manipur (79.8), Uttarakhand  (67.22), Punjab (78.57) and Goa (81.74). As per election commission analysis UP observed highest number of increase in voters since last assembly elections, it was 45.81 % from the last assembly elections.  Credit goes to the election commission for getting maximum population of citizens into voter list. The campaign through several media helps in communicating election commission message across the masses.  Some political parties like BJP also run campaign among youths for voter awareness. Ramlakhanpal Sharma, young MLA of BJP, Varun Gandhi, you...

"Congress Party is mother of Indian backwardness" - this is a well established fact. The cost we have been paying is huge.     I just found a pamphlet, I wrote three years ago while studying at JNU. The context was, the communist parties SFI (CPM) AISA(CPML) along with NSUI (Congress) and ABVP (BJP) were sitting on a hunger strike to implement caste based OBC quota in JNU.  It is to be noted that government had already issued the notifications, Supreme Court under CJI KGB has already allowed the caste discrimination in higher education... but these quota mongers where still sitting on hunger strike for it. Though it is funny and foolish act for any other rational human being, but they all were aiming to vote bank. All of them! Govt of Congress party brought this undemanded quota and all rest parties were biting like a dog.  Have a look at this pamphlet.

'India is world's largest democracy' It is often claimed by the ignorant people... As it is promoted by govt agencies. However, this notion is totally wrong in qualitative and quantitative both terms. The participation percentage is pathetically low, and once you elect the representatives, there is no role for the citizens to say anything.   The colonial systems: Police to terrorize people, bureaucracy to loot public, law to harass commoners and government to 'rule' people, are still intact and continues to drain the wealth of India. Congress party purposefully keep control on the iron-system of its rule aka empire. Even if it is out of power for a brief period, the loyal pet bureaucrats, judges and diplomats kept congress in loop. With emergence of Muslim vote bank as the solid voter for Congress party, they have gone beyond the constitution and ethos on which this nation was rebuild in 1947. Millions of deaths are ignore and UPA-1 started ...

It is needless to say Congress Party of India is an authoritarian political party. Since last thirteen years only a person from Gandhi family is heading it. And since independence only Gandhi family had control over it with a brief period of Lal Bahadur Shastri. Hence they have used the mask of democracy for their real manifestation of authoritarian rule ever since 1947. Public opinion is framed on their wishes through distorted fact feeding through text books and media houses.  The senseless comments and statements by Congress party leaders are aimed to specific electoral group. They know how to comment as nonsense and make votes out of it. When Congress party rules, there is no difference between party and government. Party become the government.  In a true democracy, despite having majority's government, every citizen has equal rights on services, facilities and resources. But Congress proudly proclaimed that minorities have the 'FIRST' right over res...
