upliftthem: uplift the millions of dalits

If Racism is a child, Caste and Casteism is it's Mother? Caste system of India was the creation of anti-social hindu religious people of ancient times to divide and sabotage fellow humans life in the name of meaningless and ruthless caste system. Sadly, there is no difference between ancient Indians with present day hindus and casteistic Indians, who still worship and practice virulent Castes. For these Varna infected illiterate Indians "COW IS MORE SACRED AND VALUED THAN HUMANS" By Saint

Court ruling challenges India's caste system

By Dean Nelson in New Delhi
Last Updated: 10:51PM GMT 17 Mar 2009

A landmark legal ruling which granted India's downtrodden 'untouchables' the right to defend their reputations has been hailed as a symbolic victory for the country's lower castes.

By Dean Nelson in New Delhi
Last Updated: 10:51PM GMT 17 Mar 2009

An appeal court judge in Jammu and Kashmir decided that all Indians were worthy of respect and entitled to a good reputation regardless of their wealth or social status.

The ruling amounts to a direct challenge to India's caste-focused society in which attacks on 'untouchables' or dalits because of their 'polluting presence' are common [OF WHAT?]

Marriage:-Dowry Pathology in India!?

Dowry Victims in India must educate themselves and fight against this evil practice. Dowry is a pathology of hindu culture. Just like the virulent "Caste system", abuse of woman', child abuse and discrimination of an individual as high or low, the dowry also cause lots of suffering and deaths in India, these virulent social, cultural and religious pathology should be annihilated as soon as possible.

My question to you Dalits, why you subject yourself into this pathology?. Do not fall pray to the hindu cultures or casteistic behaviors like Dowry, do not participate in such behaviors, look at the story of Aruna, it is a tragedy.
Here are some tips and contacts:

Indian legislation

Dowry Prohibition Act 1961 (amended in 1984 and 1986): bans paying and receiving dowries

Pre-Natal Diagnostics Techniques (Regulation and Prevention of Misuse) 1994 (amended 2002): bans sex determination tests

Here are some places to learn about the reality of Dowry in India:

Readers Comment to Editorial!

Greetings to Gollappa, Your words are Potent and it is like a fire that cannot be put out so easily by the Casteists of India!. I feel the same and share your views...!

*********************

This is a very unusual Gesture of Upliftthem to publish a readers comment as an editorial. As a respect and appreciation of the value of this message from Gollappa, Upliftthem will publish this blog comment by Gollappa as an Editorial.

Because of the truth in his message and the powerful expression, this readers comments commands special place on my blog.

I do not know who is Mr.Gollappa, neither I believe he (or she) knows me personally but it is my blog that has brought us together. I have no doubt from his expression that Gollappa is one of our Dalit Brothers (/sisters) who have great concern for suffering Dalits in India and abroad. Here is what he has to say to all of us...

If you follow hindu varnashrama and rich, you can kill and get acquitted?

Bihar is a blood thirsty and barbaric state in India, where dalits are constantly targetted by various hindu Sena's?, they call Sena, instead of Mafia as these hindu extremists can even beat the most notorius mafias of the world, there is one major difference, the sena's can kill in the broad day light infront of police, but yet they can walk away?. That is what the following two blood bath in Bihar. Narayanpura Blood bathShankarbigha village massacre of dalits by Ranvir Sena extremists was one of the most savage and brutal killing of dalits in Bihar and perhaps in the whole of India ever witnessed, but on this day about 10 years ago this murder was committed, the killers can go free, all the 10 of them were acquitted by an able and brilliant casteist Judge, the reason, they were not proved beyond quilty after killing tens of Dalits, mostly woman, how sad our justice system you see?. Wow...wow wow casteist judge, what a great justice you deliver under the oath.

Dalit massacre accused acquitted due to lack of evidence

Patna, (Bihar Times): A trial court in Jehanabad on Saturday acquitted all the 10 accused in the Narayanpur massacre case in the district in which 11 Dalits were shot dead by the banned Ranvir Sena on February 10, 1999.

Additional district and sessions judge, Jehanabad, Shambhu Nath Mishra, acquitted them as the prosecution failed to establish the charge against the accused beyond reasonable doubt. Five of the 11 Dalits killed in the incident, were women.

The Narayanpur bloodbath was preceded by another massacre enacted by Ranvir Sena. On January 25, 1999, when the then President K R Narayanan, was delivering a Republic Day eve speech, 24 men and women were gunned down by this upper caste private army in Shankarbigha village of the same district. One of the victims, who was in the family way, was shot in the womb. The Ranvir Sena openly took the responsibility by issuing a Press release to the media.

Brilliante and Premier Dardos Awards

March 2, 2009 by rw

One of the two joys of blogging has been to meet people that one would not have met in real life, or at least the probability of meeting would have been very low. The other is that one sometimes gets pleasantly surprised.

Two long time readers of this blog have been nice enough to award it with two blog awards recently- Jack Stephens awarded the Brilliante Weblog Award and Renegade Eye, the Premier Dardos Award. As per the rules, I am listing some of the blogs that I find very invigorating and are fellow travelers in the sense of their intellectual and humanistic concerns. Also, all of the them, with the exception of one, are India/ Pakistan centric blogs.

Brilliante Award:
Upliftthem: For its single minded focus on Dalit issues. This was the first blog I discovered when searching for critical blogs on caste.

Ghazala: Ghazala writes on ’subversive poetry’- from that of the Harlem Renaissance to progressive poetry Urdu. My only complain is that this blog has long dormancy.

Written Encounters: Fawad brings out (along with Raza Rumi) the quintessentially shared culture between Pakistan and India.

Parchanve: The only blog that I read in Punjabi. Jasdeep brings out contemporary Punjabi poetry and often renders them into excellent English.

Dispatches from Zembla: Alok blogs on films and books. I particularly look to his blog when it comes to anything from Austria or Russia.

Sc/St Reservation Bill 2008 is an Academic Untouchablity of India?

Following Huge Protests all accross India and abroad, the Bill will be modified and amended before the bill goes to next approval?.

Subject: The Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Reservation in Posts and Services) Bill 2008- An attempt to debar the SC/ST community from higher education.  Respected Sir/Madam,  With reference to above mentioned subject, we people of India would like to bring the

following facts in your kind notice for necessary and immediate action: As you are aware that SC/ST      representation in teaching posts in the Central       Universities, IITs, IIMs, NITs      and other Institutes of higher education is negligible even after 62 years      of independence of India.

First time in the year 2005, the Govt. of India, MHRD vide their order No.      6-30/2005 U-5 dated 6th       December, 2005 has directed the UGC to implement the SC/ST      reservation on teaching posts in Central       Universities and Institutes      which are deemed to be Universities receiving grants from Govt. of India.      Consequently, the UGC directed all the Central       Universities and other      Institutes to implement the SC/ST reservation on all the teaching posts      such as Lecturer, Reader and      Professor and by whatever other nomenclature the posts are known The policy guidelines      mentioned in Para 1 above are in infant stage and      being formulated to implement by the Central Universities. In the same      time the Govt. of India is going to pass ‘The Scheduled Castes and  Scheduled Tribes (Reservation in Posts      and Services) Bill 2008’ in the Parliament, whose only objective is to      exclude the SC/ST community from the premier and resourceful institutes of      higher education in the country.  The most disappointing parts      of the above said bill are clause (iii) and clause (iv) of subsection (1)      of section 4 according to which there is no reservation to posts higher  than the lowest grade of group      ‘A’ posts and classified as scientific and technical post; and to posts      higher than the lowest grade of group ‘A’ posts in institutions of      national importance and Indian Institutes of Management specified in the      Schedule. It means that there will be no SC/ST teacher in Central      Universities, IITs NITs etc. (total 47 educational institutes in Schedule  at      present and more can be added). Therefore, section (4) of the bill is      against to the existing reservation policy mentioned in Para      1 above and that will result in bad to worse condition of SC/ST community      in higher education. The Banaras       Hindu University      itself has around 2300 teaching posts. As an average all the 47 institutes      mentioned in the Schedule have twenty three thousand and five hundred      (47×500 = 23500) teaching posts and as per the recommendations of Sixth      Pay commission, all of them are above the lowest grade of group ‘A’. Thus      around 5287 posts, out of which many could be filled by the SC/ST      candidates, are being exempted from the preview of reservation. It is worth to mention      that there is no representation of the members of SC/ST community in the      Executive Boards and Selection Committees constituted for the recruitment      of teachers in higher educational institutes. History is evident that the      candidates belonging to SC/ST category were ignored by the selection      committees when they apply under general category. Further, due to      negligible representation of SC/ST candidates on teaching posts, the SC/ST      students face lot of difficulties in completing their projects and Ph.D.      etc; and welfare scheme for SC/ST students do not run successfully in the  Central       Universities and      IITs.    In the present bill,      nothing has been mentioned about the ban on de-reservation and panel  action against the defaulter      officers. Moreover, in this bill all the existing provisions for SC/ST      reservation on teaching posts in Central Universities and other Higher      Educational Institutes mentioned in Para 1 above have been weaken.      Therefore, section (4) of this bill is more or less a ban to enter the      SC/ST candidates into the higher education.  In the light of the present      form of this bill, the objective of the reservation can never be met and      this will loose the confidence of SC/ST community. A lot of deliberations  are      required on this bill and Section (4) along with Schedule of the bill is      absolutely not required.  You are therefore, humbly requested for the following necessary action in the matter:  Remove the Section 4 with Schedule of the bill with.  Include appropriate provision in the bill to stop caste based discrimination with the SC/ST candidates during the interviews for selection.   With kind regards.   (Subhash C. Arya)

King Ashoka and Pali Language, Jayarava Raves?

"Jayarava's Raves" - 1 new article

Asoka, Pāli, and some red herrings.

A few weeks ago I read a reference to a book on Indo-Aryan languages.

I found the book in the University library and was immediately struck by the entry on Pāli. Pāli, the book says, is essentially a western Middle Ind0-Aryan dialect.

This raised a number of questions for me if only because the Buddha lived in the East of India. So what was going on?

So it seems that the mystery is solved and ironically that the Theravāda legends were right all the time. Pāli is Māgadhī. Although over the years the written form of Pāli has been Sanskritised. This was partly under the influence of Sanskrit inspired Pāli grammar texts from Burma. We do know that Pāli continued to evolve because Buddhaghosa's Pāli is noticeably different from the language of the suttas.

Dear Mr Mutalik,

We would like to take this opportunity to apologise on behalf of all womankind for having marked our protest against your noble gesture.

We were not aware of the magnanimity of your actions because we were impaired by the beating we got in the pub that day.

Had it not been for your fellow companions who beat some sense into us, we would not have known what Indian culture meant.

It's only the women who missed this thrashing that dared to send those unmentionable pink nothings to you. Violence, as you made clear, is truly an inherent part of our rich culture.

We feel deeply ashamed that these women resorted to such depravities as drinking or even visiting a pub.

Police in the state found the eight bodies floating in a river and have charged 15 people, mostly from the girl's family, with the murders.

The weekend killing took place after 21-year-old Ratan Mandal eloped with 18-year-old Kanchan Kumari and got married secretly, afraid their families would never approve due to an old social rivalry.

India's Caste System an hindu Pathology:- Continues beyond 3000 years, to 2009?

Year 2009 is just arrived, as we move forward to the new year with innumerable issues facing this world, from financial crisis to health care crisis, to global warming and flu pandemic threat, to war on nations and to war within nations so and so forth, there are so many issues.

But, the years keep rolling and life goes on for some, life is struggle for some and some parts of this world, life is a misery and slavery in the name of religion and god.

In India however, even after more than 3000 years of the creation and practice of human discrimination such as the Caste system, a religious rule of law "Manu" sanctioned social system, dalits [the victims] in India continued to suffer and being sabotaged in every walk of life by hindus [though India does not mean hindus the world was made to believe this way, the world community and people world wide still think and have this peanut size knowledge that India is a hindu nation?.

Neither the law enacted to protect and promote the progress of dalits is properply executed by the concerned officials nor the people of India seems to have developed any better humanity and insight over the hundreds or thousands of years to treat fellow humans equally.

India is full of inequality created by the brahminical invaders of India, who created the hindu religion, a merely 10% of the descendents of a barbaric, clowns made the rest of 80-90% of the descendents of the original Indians, aboriginals and dravidians, made them all or pushed them all into hindu category, utterly brainstormed the society to divide into thousands of categories, sub-categories of humans living in seggregation into a caste and caste system, this fragile system has put more than half of India into miserable and poverty ridden conditions, they do not have enough food to eat and basic facilities to live and do not have clothes to wear, the whole world is procrastinating to the less than 3% of the millionaires, billionaires hindu or caste infected Indians and proclaim India is the super power and all those bullshit. Half of the billion plus population lives in utter poverty, and you call this nation a super power?. What a moron you are?.

There is no proper roads to villages, no proper electricity to villages and no proper water facility to live or to cultivate their lands in villages, and you are proclaiming to touch the moon, what a moron and what a fucking scientist you are to work in nuclear facility or a aerospace facility and proclaim you are state of the art?.

Let's us see how the world is going to catch up with this continued pathology in the new year and in the coming years and decades.

This coloumn will update with latest news and articles about bringing an highetened consciousness in the world community about "Dalits" and India's brahminical Caste pathology.

Week of Dec 30, 2008

The following story in the Independent about Caste system in the Muslim Nation of Bangladesh is incredebly disturbing, but the fact is whether it is Pakistan or Bangladesh or Sri Lanka or Nepal, all these nations have one thing in common that hindus contaminated these nations, after all, it was once part of India, the culture that inherited from the original India transcend beyong it's border. Whether they are hindus, muslims or christians, it does not matter, they discriminate fellow humans and seggregate them, Dalits pay highest price, the caste discrimination. How sad it is?.

"They say, 'Your father was a sweeper and you have to be a sweeper as well'. It makes me feel very bad. I wanted to train to be a nurse."

The Foreign Hand

What is the latest in the investigations taking place in the Mumbai terror plot? A report from Ground Zero by RANA AYYUB

INVESTIGATIONS INTO the November 26 Mumbai attacks continue to reveal new facets. In his confession, captured terrorist Kasav has stated that not just he but the other nine terrorists killed are Pakistani nationals, a fact confirmed by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation, members of which interrogated Kasav, Crime Branch sources say. Kasav has also named his trainers, all members of the Lashkar-e- Tayyeba (LeT) front, the Jamaat-ud-Dawa, including its head, Hafiz Sayeed.

Right from Kasav’s statement to the material recovered from the trawler, Kuber, which the terrorists hijacked on their way to Mumbai, there has been enough evidence of the involvement of Pakistan-based extremist organisations and their leaders in the attack. Pakistan, however, claims that it has not been provided such proof, thereby giving it grounds to take no specific action against terror outfits on its soil. Finally, though, international pressure appears to have compelled President Asif Ali Zardari to say, in an interview to Newsweek, that non-state actors were indeed his responsibility. Although he categorically denied that Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) was involved in the attack or with the LeT, he did say that nobody would be allowed to use Pakistani soil for any kind of aggression on a friend.

MUMBAI TERROR ATTACKS
All asleep on the western seaboard
The primary role of the navy is the protection of the seaboards. Having been shown up by the recent failure, the security establishment now has to get the strategy right, saysPavan Nair.

Given the gross failure to thwart the 26 November attacks right under the noses of the navy, one can only hope and pray that our 'strategic resources' are safe from similar assault. It is not possible to defend the entire coast or the EEZ all the time, therefore certain vulnerable areas and points have to be identified.

Surely Bombay port and harbour, and nuclear facilities including BARC should be in that list and should have been guarded 24/7. If that ws done then there was a possibility that the guys landing in rubber boats would have been apprehended. The MARCOS should have been given this job.

If heads are to roll then, then it is incumbent on the FOC-in-C to resign his commission, on moral grounds if not the actual failure to perform the job. His fortress has been violated. His fleet could have been scuttled. In war time this would have been a court martial offence.

Pak should try to get to the bottom of the terror network: US

The extremist groups in Pakistan are a threat to the country, a threat to the neighbourhood, and "as we saw in Mumbai, a threat to Americans and Indians and people of many other nationalities," Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Richard Boucher said in Beijing last week, according to a transcript released by the State Department yesterday.

Now the Bush administration is even more convinced that the Pakistani Army and its intelligence arm ISI, who still calls the shots in Islamabad, are continuing their toxic policies.

But firm action against them is constrained by both the transition phase in Washington and the US dependence on Pakistan to maintain supply lines to its troops in land-locked Afghanistan. Officials are now re-examining options in this regard, particularly US leverage against Islamabad if Pakistan considers interdiction strategies.

Pakistan's denial and refusal to look at the country grown terrorists is going to cost a lot to Zardari?

Hello Mr.Zardari, your ability to grasp the danger within your country and Pakistani terrorists and thugs ability to attack India, US and other nations is abysmal, besides you have no consistency in your own words in response to Mumbai attack?,

you are asking the proof from Indian govt, when the proof is available, you are denying or refusing to hand over the 20 most wanted terrorist animals from your country, and you have the audacity to say that you will try them in your court and sentence them?, let me ask you, how many of the terrorists you have tried and sentenced in your country so far, terrorists are roaming your nation and causing chaos, neither you nor your predeccer was able to curb their heinous crimes against humanity and they are destroying peace around world, especially with India. What morality do you have, I am not sure if your words deserve any respect. I must tell you, you are your own enemy?, hope you will realize the "War in waiting". If you do not act right by helping Indian govt, you will kill more people in the history of Pakistan in the name of war with India than all the one's who have lost lives in the barbaric terrorist attacks so far? if you do not co-operate with India on this issue.

India is the victim and they have lost hundreds of lives and peace in Mumbai because of your goons, thugs and terrorists. Now, be mindful and act with some sense before it it too late that India will bomb your country if you fail, which means, you invite such calamity and it is in your hand to let it go or stop?.

Pakistan refuses to hand over India's most wanted

Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari has rejected India's demand to hand over LeT chief Hafiz Mohd Sayeed and other fugitives in the wake of Mumbai terror attacks and doubted whether the arrested terrorist is a Pakistani national.Two days after New Delhi's demarche (protest note) demanding the handing over of 20 fugitives, Zardari made known Pakistan's reluctance to part with them.
"If we had proof, we would try them in our courts. We would try them in our land and we would sentence them," he said appearing on a television show on Tuesday night.

the top two are Dawood Ibrahim, a murderer, drug mafia and underworld goonda and Maulana Masood Azhar, a Pakistani cleric, a terrorist in real life. Hand over the 20 fugitives to us, the sooner is better for Paki's.

Hand over 20 wanted terrorists, India tells Pak; Pak to frame response

The men on the most wanted list include Dawood Ibrahim, a Mumbai underworld don, and Maulana Masood Azhar, a Pakistani Muslim cleric freed from jail in India in exchange for passengers on a hijacked plane. ( Watch ). The demand for the hand over of about 20 fugitives was originally made after the December 2001 attack on Parliament that India blamed on Pakistan-based terrorists. Pakistan said at the time it wanted to see evidence. Then Pakistani president and army chief Pervez Musharraf said he would never extradite Pakistani citizens to India but he did not rule out sending back Indian nationals.

Sonal Update Dec 2008Controversy mounts over Obama transition team member's ties to Hindu group

BY GAUTHAM NAGESH 12/23/2008
Obama transition team member Sonal Shah's involvement with a controversial Hindu group was greater than she indicated in a recent statement, according to members of the organization.
A series of e-mails obtained by Nextgov suggest that Shah was an active member of the Vishva Hindu Parishad of America during the late 1990s and contributed to strategic discussions regarding the group's public image. Two VHP of America officials also confirmed that Shah served on the organization's governing council in the 1990s.

Sonal Shah Denounces VHP in Renewed Controversy

By SUNITA SOHRABJI
indiawest.com

Taking a page from her boss’s campaign playbook, Sonal Shah, a member of President-elect Barack Obama’s transition advisory board, last week denounced the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, an organization she was allegedly affiliated with seven years ago.

Shah, who raised funds for victims of the 2001 earthquake in Gujarat through the VHP-America, said in a Dec. 5 statement that if she could have anticipated the role of the VHP in the outbreak of communal violence that swept Gujarat in 2002, she never would have associated with the organization.

Yet another angle of analysis about Sonal Shah, this time by Sikh's Perspective.

Sikhs Care About the Sonal Shah Debate
Posted by Jodha | Thursday, December 11, 2008 – 3:36 pm
Yes, now it’s our turn….The debate has been raging in the South Asian blogosphere and although this post is extremely late, the issue is still important, especially for those Sikhs in the diaspora.In the meantime, South Asian bloggers weighed in with their opinions. Sepia Mutiny has been one place hub of discussion (well if it has been civil enough to call it a discussion). Interestingly, it is its two keshadhari Sikh bloggers that have been most vocal in the ongoing discussion with Amardeep Singh, unequivocally, defending Sonal Shah and Ennis taking a far more cautious approach.
There are sort of three camps –
those that strongly support Sonal Shah and believe she is being smeared by Vijay Prashad
those that are completely convinced by Sonal Shah’s affiliations
those that are cautious and believe that they deserve a serious consideration – no matter whether they decide to support her or call for her ouster

Heat on Sonal Shah:-

Sonal's renouncement is too late and probably a drama, why?. She might have done some social work for poor but anyone who is in the inner circle of VHP or RSS cannot function without bigotry and discrimination.? WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 2008 4:00 PMUnder Pressure, Shah Renounces Hindu Group

By GAUTHAM NAGESH, Government Executive
After weeks of questions, Obama transition team member and former Google executive Sonal Shahtoday renounced her former connection to a Hindu organization accused of fomenting violence against Muslims and Christians in India.
In a statement obtained exclusively by NextGov andNational Journal, Shah says that if she could have anticipated the role of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) in the 2002 outbreak of communal violence in the Indian state of Gujarat, she never would have associated with the group's American branch a year earlier:

Shah Pick Stirs Widespread Controversy
By DERON LEE
Former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, a conservative Republican, has joined a diverse chorus of voices protesting Barack Obama's selection last month of Indian-American economist Sonal Shah, a Google executive, to his transition team.

The Elephant in the Room: A bad choice for Obama transition team

By Rick Santorum

Dealing with terrorism in India is being called President-elect Barack Obama's first foreign-policy test.

As we saw last week in Mumbai, political and religious divisions in the world's largest democracy make our disagreements seem tame by comparison. So when Obama named economist Sonal Shah to his transition team, the unifier invited division.

Sonal Shah's Membership Has Expired

Guilt by Participation By VIJAY PRASHAD

Barack Obama’s victory in the U. S. presidential election warmed the hearts of millions around the world. When Jesse Jackson wept, I cried too. I had worked for Jackson’s campaign in 1988. With Jackson’s defeat came the long hibernation of American progressivism. Obama’s victory awoke that tradition. A few days later Obama began to announce his transition team. The names were not from the progressive tradition, but from the more cautious, even conservative side of the Democratic Party. In the list I saw the name Sonal Shah.

That day, I wrote an essay for counterpunch.org calling attention to Sonal Shah’s affiliations with various Hindutva groups. In this viral age, essays such as this leave their locales and take on a life of their own. This one created a little kerfuffle. People excited by the Obama victory and by the ascension of an Asian American to a position of authority were miffed that I had rained on their parade. Some claimed that I had stooped to the Sarah Palin tactic of guilt by association.

Just because her parents are closely affiliated with the Hindutva groups does not mean she is associated with them, they said. I agree. Sonal Shah released a statement against “baseless and silly reports” on the Internet. She forthrightly pointed out that her “personal politics have nothing in common with the views espoused by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) or any such organization.” The VHP and the RSS are well known to spread hate and to have participated in ghastly acts of violence within India against Muslims, Christians, and oppressed castes, not to speak of spreading the general misogyny that their ideology preaches.

The Curious/Criminal Case of Sonal Shah …and RSS involvement in Bomb Blasts in India

Mumbai, India -- Nearly 15,000 followers from the interiors of Maharashtra and across India thronged to Mumbai, converging at Shivaji Park, to mark the death anniversary of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar on Thursday.

Dr Ambedkar, known as the Father of the Constitution, was a jurist, scholar, political leader and a Buddhist revivalist. He spent his life fighting untouchability and the Indian caste system.

Even though there was a 25 per cent reduction in the number of Ambedkar followers who thronged Chaityabhoomi at Shivaji Park this year, a vast majority of them were unfazed by last week’s terror attacks in the city.

Proud to belong to the ‘Mahaar Battalion’ some professors from Pune, who had come to commemorate Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar’s death anniversary at Shivaji Park on Saturday, chose to call themselves the ‘terror community.’

Petition: Sonal Shah and Barack Obama Please clarify communal Links!?

John and Joseph from the following organization has created a petition to Sonal Shah and Barack Obama about Sonal's communal connections and asked them to clarify.

Dr. John Dayal ( johndayal@vsnl.com )
International Human Rights Activist & Secretary General, All India Christian Council

Joseph Dias ( thecsf.org@gmail.com )
Indian Christian Activist & General Secretary, The CSF www.thecsf.org

I urge you all the readers world wide to go and sign this petition. Here is the petition itself as well as sign page and links to it.

Sonal Shah & Barack Obama Please Clarify Communal Links - Don't Restore Modi's Visa to USA

View Current Signatures - Sign the Petition

To: Barack Obama, Sonal Shah, Democrats, Republicans, US Senate, US Congress, European Union, International Human Rights Organizations, United Nations
To : * His Excellency Mr. Barack H. Obama, President Elect, United States of America

* US Senate & Congress, Democrats, Republicans & Human Rights Organizations

Dear Sir,
We write this Petition from India, and from other countries, regarding a member of your Transition team, Ms Sonal Shah.
Observations:

1. Ms. Sonal Shah's record as an economist and a philanthropic activist is well-known. She is highly respected by former and current colleagues and is, according to testimony of people who have worked with her both in India and the USA, a kind and thoughtful person. We are proud that a person of Indian origin is part of the preparation team for the historic presidency of Mr. Barack Obama.

2. Our concern is with her connections to some Indian politicians and "social organisations" who publicly argue that Hindu culture is the highest ideal and must dominate civil life in India. Some of the groups which she is loosely associated with, such as the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) have been proven to undertake violent campaigns against religious minorities in India.

3. We welcome her clear statement on Nov. 11, 2008 (http://www.asianamericansforobama.com/statement-by-sonal-shah-transition-board-member-for-president-elect-barack-obama) that she despises "politics of division, of ethnic or religious hatred, of violence and intimidation as a political tool" and that she doesn't share the views of the VHP and RSS.

4. However, we remained concerned because of credible media and civil society reports within India which express deep concern over Ms. Shah's true allegiances. These are not accusations produced out of spite or a desire for the politics of innuendo. Instead, they were sparked and launched after RSS and VHP leaders celebrated Ms. Shah's appointment and claimed her as their own.

5. Her links with Chief Minister Narendra Modi of Gujarat are understandable but disturbing. Mr. Modi is the political leader of Ms. Shah's home state and a prominent leader in India so her association with him is understandable. However, he is one of the few political leaders anywhere in the world to be banned from entering the United States under the International Religious Freedom Act (IRFA) of 1998. Again, RSS and VHP sources within India say her appointment will be a step towards restoring Mr. Modi's visa to the USA.

6. Lastly, as a founder of the non-government organisation Indicorps, we are worried that Ms. Shah is apparently denying documented proof that the funds given in the USA have been misused within India by IDRF, an organisation which Indicorps is affiliated with, to further a rightwing Hindu ideology. (See "Foreign Exchange of Hate", report by Stop Funding Hate, 2002, http://stopfundinghate.org/sacw/index.html)

7. Even todate, media reports quote VHP-America general secretary, Gaurang Vaishnav & independent sources stating that Ms. Shah was the National Project Coordinator of the VHPA and on its governing council. Her father Ramesh Shah, 64, is a vice-president in Overseas Friends of BJP (OFBJP) and her mother Kokilaben, 62, is OFBJP's chapter coordinator for Houston. Modi is reportedly impressed by Indicorps, the voluntary organisation started by the Shah siblings - Sonal, Roopal and Anand. So, all the world has to do is wait & watch.

Requests

1. We ask Ms. Shah and the Obama staff to issue a clear statement about her opinion on the visa issue for Mr. Modi.

2. We also ask that Ms. Shah & the Obama staff make clear her & her family links with the VHP and other such communal organizations. The world needs to know their stand, now that her statement in the link above, has now proved to be false.

3. Beyond condemning the views of Hindu nationalist groups, we urge Ms. Shah to publicly acknowledge the need for justice and rehabilitation for the victims of rapes and ethnic cleansing in Orissa (2007-2008) and Gujarat (2002) which were carried out by rightwing Hindu activists.

4. We are worried and disconcerted that Ms. Shah appears not to have been fully vetted before she was placed on Mr. Obama's transition panel. We request Obama officials or staff to publicly clarify their determination not to endorse future links between the Obama Presidency and India's VHP and RSS or other such sectarian groups.

Urgently Yours, in the name of all those suffering religious persecution & human rights abuse in India.

CANADIAN Politician Publicly Promotes Casteist & Racist behaviors?

THIS IS THE FACE OF CASTE SYSTEM THAT WAS TRANSPORTED FROM INDIA INTO THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA.

His name is Harry Lali, a sitting member of the legislative council of British Columbia who was a longest serving NDP Minister of Tra nsportation and Highways.

It all sounds good and pleasing for an Indian to learn about another Indian occupying a high political position in Canada, but it is disgusting and shocking to see such people propogate and practice the pathological and inhumane caste system even after leaving India, he calls hismself proudly Jat?

(Jat is one of a barbaric class of the Indian caste system (there are hundreds and thousands of castes and sub-castes in India, a creation of hindu religion), Jats single handedly kill more dalits and poor people in the states of Haryana and Punjab than all other hindus put together in those states, though Jats claim they are sikh's their culture, behavior and practices are so much the same that of hindus, they believe in caste system?). This man recently sent his e-mail address to all his friends, colleagues and contacts, especially to media contacts, do you know what the e-mail address is, it is JattMLA@gmail.com, how disgusting is this, a British Columbia sitting member of legislature, using his caste name for his e-mail and sending proudly to all, how do foriegn nations like Canada and the people of Canada trusts these kind of casteists?.

Andrew J.Bacevich's "THE LIMITS OF POWER (Book to Read)

Few weeks ago I watched Bill Moyer's show on PBS in which Moyer interviewed the author of "The Limits of Power", Andrew J.Bacevich's.
First of Bill Moyer's (see the link at the bottom) show on PBS is one of the few TV shows one can watch and learn something true and important about America, about American issues, problems and the rationale behind issues on topics such as the ongoing war that we are in and the economic crisis that is growing every day?.

Bacevich, a great intellectual with extensive knowledge and prior work experience in the US govt, probably in most powerful senior govt positions, his book on "The limits of Power" is a must read for anyone who wants to learn more about why and how the self imposed American Imperialism brought more war to American than peace!?. "Looooooooooooooooooong war but no peace"which is making the so called "imperialism" crumble like how Russia was shattered from it's so called superpower to superdoomed?.

He talked about how we got here into this long war, why it is both irrational and self-defeating?. His language, comprehension is quite scholarly and quite renewing to the reader when compared to those thousands of junkie books released every day.

August 15, 2008

Andrew J. Bacevich's new book, THE LIMITS OF POWER: THE END OF AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM, is part of the American Empire Project.

The American Empire Projectposes questions to American thinkers and writers: "At this moment of unprecedented economic and military strength, the leaders of the United States have embraced imperial ambitions openly. How did we get to this point? And what lies down the road?" Find out more at the American Empire Project Web site, where Andrew J. Bacevich has posted a new entry on the blog: "Illusions of Victory: How the United States Did Not Reinvent War... But Thought It Did." Below is an excerpt from THE LIMITS OF POWER.

Quote from the Book Review at Moyer's site "When President Bush declared in his second inaugural that the "survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the success of liberty in other lands," he was in effect claiming for the United States as freedom's chief agent the prerogative of waging war when and where it sees fit, those wars by definition being fought on freedom's behalf. In this sense, the Long War genuinely qualifies as a war to preserve the American way of life (centered on a specific conception of liberty) and simultaneously as a war to extend the American imperium (centered on dreams of a world remade in America's image), the former widely assumed to require the latter".

TOI Editorial, second exceptional Editorial in just a month time, is it real?

I can't imagine something good is happening in Times of India editorial board. Just in two months, two exceptional editorial, completely truthful and making so much sense than their 80% of rubbish writings, half naked womans and politicians picturs in TOI.

Atleast for now, the editorial has some sign of change, did the editor booted out and a new editor has been appointed or something happened to the current editor, he/she realized to write truthful editorials?.

Here is the editorial about BJP leaders and their unlawful presence in meetings that is simply the height of arrogance and stupidity. If law is proceeding with investigations into allegations or involvement of swami's or any one for that matter, just stay out of it moron until they finsh the investigations, instead, participating and supporting those who are already close conviction is so obviously a link that BJP wants to show to the world.

EDITORIAL COMMENT | The Law Is Secular

18 Nov 2008, 0000 hrs IST

The Panipat conclave organised by the sangh parivar on Sunday to protest arrests made by the anti-terror squad of Maharashtra police in Malegaon has ominous implications.

The conclave, which was attended by sadhus of various Hindu sects, decided to organise a mass mobilisation campaign against the government for "vilifying Hindu monks and army officers in the name of Hindu terrorism".

The presence of two senior BJP leaders party president Rajnath Singh and Uttarakhand chief minister B C Khanduri at the meet confirms its overt political character.

An Indian Movie that looks like a Hollywood Moive?

Here in Upliftthem, I do not waste space or time for Indian movies or in general for movies or the people in the movie world unless and unlike their acting, if the actor in real life happend to be a good humanist, socialist who in real life help suffering people, then I would, earlier I wrote about Jet Li, Scarlet for their philanthropy and support for poor people.

This is a different kind, something that is so striking as the following movie, it deserves to be mentioned if not reviewed.

Slumdog Millionaire, this new movie trailor is posted on the yahoo and on other internet sites, it is all over the internet by now.

I just watched the "Trailor", for the first time ever and for the very first time, I felt like watching a Indian movie Trailor on the internet. Previously there was not a single Indian movie trailor that was of any interest to me or there was none that generated some interest to watch but this one, this one is something, because the quality and the way it was made actually speaks for itself when you watch you may discover. Ofcourse, it talks about slum people (the most oppressed of all in India, that alone deserves to be mentioned, it is not clear if any of these people acted were from slum (a genuine director and producer must make efforts to employ and give opportunities to slum people when they make movie about them?)

I am inserting this embed here for readers because of the quality. So far, I never felt any hindi or tamil or any language movies from India, the trailor was even watchable or of any quality.

But, you just see this trailor. Picture from Yahoo movies site

Freida Pinto at the Toronto Film Festival premiere of Slumdog Millionaire - 09/07/2008Alexandra Wyman, Wireimage.com

Ofcourse, Freida Pinto the brand new Bombay actress is just gorgeous!!!......I do not know amything yet about her the acting, or other crew members acting in this movie as I have to watch the movie, but for now, just see the trailor and judge for yourself.

Sonal SHAH is not only related to VHP, but also to RSS?? What?

The controversy about Sonal Shah's connections with VHP further deepens into serious trouble by her yet another known link to an yet another worst Fascist organization on earth the RSS.

The so called Vicki, widely read website lists two of her major connections, though lots of news so far was about her role as a VHP-A Co-Ordinator for 2001 Gujrat Earth quake fund collection. Not many people aware about her another connection with RSS.

What is she doing with RSS if she is not related to it in the first place, but what does it means to go to an RSS meeting and deliver a Key Note address?. Oh wait, a Keynote Address to a hindu terrorist organization called RSS???.

Controversy

Her appointment to the transition team of President-Elect Barack Obama ^[9] sparked a mild controversy for her alleged links to Hindutva organizations like Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and Vishva Hindu Parishad. ^[10]

The Coalition Against Genocide, the Indian American Coalition for Pluralism and Non Resident Indians for a Secular and Harmonious Indiareleased a joint statement asking Shah to clarify her position and alleged association with the Vishva Hindu Parishad and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. She was the national coordinator of VHP in 2001. VHP is a hindu hate based organizaiton^[11] ^[12]

Ms. Shah delivered a keynote address at the Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh young conference. The HSS is the U. S. branch of the RSS.

The University of Chicago’s Martha Nussbaum describes the RSS as “possibly the most successful fascist movement in any contemporary democracy.” The RSS “guru” (teacher) M. S. Golwalkar wrote glowingly about Nazi “race pride,” and called it a “good lesson for us in Hindusthan to learn and profit by.” ^[13]

would Makwana's party be like the above or will it be something?. Whatever the case may be, is he or not a good dalit servant is the important question?.

" Black Thursday" 1929, & a Black Decade (Bush's Presidential Period): The Great Depression (1929-1930)

This washington post's article reviews the senior citizen's who lived through the great depression, before we are bewildered about our Great depression today, you better listen to their true stories and how they survived, may be you learn some inspirational lessons from their life.

Quote ""To get by in the 1930s, McKenzie and her contemporaries say, people relied on the strength of family, the support of community and the grit and work ethic of the time. Families grew food, wore hand-me-downs, helped one another, eked by.

"I can remember I almost wept when a boy handed me an orange, which was his Christmas present to me," she said. "I could only imagine it was the only orange he'd seen in weeks or months." Nearly 80 years later, she still remembers his name.

Sylvester Stevens Jr., 74, said his African American neighborhood had a community ethic to help those down on their luck. When someone could not pay rent, neighbors threw a rent party to raise funds. When someone needed food, people pitched in. "The neighborhood was the village, as the saying goes," he said.

Carlie Buchannon, 83, recalled helping to cook for her family of 13 -- mother, father, grandmother and 10 children -- while her parents worked, laundering clothes in a home business. Her father also was a handyman and carpenter, she said, and "he would pull that wagon all over Washington to find something to do."
She has no memory of being hungry. But she remembers wondering "why I had to walk in the cold all the way across town to go to school, instead of going to the school right near us." She came to learn that was because of racial segregation,
Still, for David Beard, the present crisis seems daunting. Eight decades after the Depression began, he is 96, living with his wife in a nursing and rehabilitation home in Adelphi and suddenly facing another wave of financial anxiety. The couple's savings for these late years has been reduced greatly by the stock market decline, he said.
"In the Depression, as a kid growing up, we felt one way or another we'd muddle through," he said. "When you're 96 and you're watching your savings melt away and run down the stream, you have a different outlook, a more defeatist outlook. . . . It's frightening. You are at the mercy of external forces.""

Justice and Corrective Actions on Culprits is Alive even in IRAN?: Interior Minister Booted?

Oh well, politicians do not have shame or guilt. We thought we know politicians that they are mostly after money and accumulating illegal wealth, that they can stoop to any level to get those, it is quite prevalent in Asia and Arabic countries. But, we hardly ever thought the other things politicians go after, fake doctorate, honorary doctorate and what not. In India, almost every filthy politician and actors will get some honorary degree's from their favorite university that is utterly bigoted in principles. Here is this character from Iran, this one is just a clown of all.

He faked as if he got a "doctorate" from some prestigious UK universities?.

The Iran people and other leaders could not let this fake doctorate continue to go about, they impeached him right away and he has been booted.

Wait, such an action is certainly appear to be transparent and good for a nation like Iran?. Good job.

Half of the Illegal immigrants in America are Mexicans & 200,000 Illegal Indians in America

Oops....Ooopsy, almost half of illegal immigrants live in America are from Mexico and there are about 200K illegal Indians in America, is this a Joke. No...I do not think it is a joke, atleast as per this news. What the heck the homeland security or the immigration dept is doing while all these things going on?.

More than 2 lakh Indians living illegally in US

Washington, November 1: : India has registered 81 per cent increase in the number of its citizens living illegally in the US in 2007, even as immigration from Mexico continues to dominate the unauthorized population growth.

According to the Department of Homeland Security the latest statistics on ‘illegal immigrants’ shows that in 2007 the estimated population of Indians living illegally in the United States was 220,000 compared to 120,000 in the year 2000, thus recording one of the highest percentage increase.

Why Dalits Conversion should be alarming to anybody or is it???...Why?

Mass Conversions in India

by Saint S on 25-Oct-08 8:08pm

Let me thank the Ecademy for focusing on this news, let me also thank Sadiq and others who brought this burning Buddhist conversion of dalits issue into this groups discussion board. I hope the public and concerned people will learn the facts before getting confused about this conversion.

First of all why conversion should be alarming to anybody or is it?.

Second, is it really a conversion or going back to their origin?.

Third, who in India and abroad possibly should be concerned about this conversion?.

All these questions needs to be asked and answered before getting concerned.

The "Dalits"-the so called Untouchables (as per the hindu Varna or religious doctrine, which is nothing but mythical, barbaric and mostly illogic practices is full of human discrimination and extremists views) are the native Indians. Majority of the groups among dalits like the Paraiyars in Tamil Nadu and so many other dalit groups in Tamil Nadu and all over India are natives of India. To the most part these dalits once were the original land owners who were involved in cultivation and agriculture as well trade in the ancient India. These were the native Indians to whom India belongs but today it is all skewed, mutilated and taken away by hindus.

It is NEW YORK TIMES turn now to Endorse Obama, Last week it was Washington Post?

The most widely read and regarded Washington Post and New York times endorsed Obama and supporting his policies.

Last week Washington Post wrote a stunningly straightforward and truthful editorial about Obama, his charector, his strengths and expectations etc., it concluded Obama can be the greatest President in American History atleast they said, he has the potential to be the greatest, fair enough and good enough.

The N.Y.Times however is much more elaborate (3page editorial), detailed and truthful about the reality of our times. The N.Y.Times riped McCain and Bush much more than the Washington Times, but both these news papers atleast in this one issue (about Obama for President) were incredebly truthful and their accounts of why they like Obama as president is utterly fascinating writing. Hat's off to both Post and Times for such honest perspective.

Yes we can change, Yes Obama can change this country and the needy around the world.

Now, it is New York times:

N.Y.Times Editorial:

EDITORIAL

Barack Obama for President

Hyperbole is the currency of presidential campaigns, but this year the nation’s future truly hangs in the balance.

The United States is battered and drifting after eight years of President Bush’s failed leadership. He is saddling his successor with two wars, a scarred global image and a government systematically stripped of its ability to protect and help its citizens

— whether they are fleeing a hurricane’s floodwaters, searching for affordable health care or struggling to hold on to their homes, jobs, savings and pensions in the midst of a financial crisis that was foretold and preventable.

RUNNING OUT OF TIME
A Shape Production

104 minutes
Digital Video
English Commentary & Sub-titles

Running Out of Time has been financed by Shape and its associates. Starting in 2003, filming was completed in early 2006 and post-production was completed by end of 2006. The film is available in two versions - Running Out of Time (English) and Ab Aur Waqt Nahin (Hindi). Abhijay Karlekar (Direction), Ahmed Hussein (Production) and Utpal Basu (Editing) are senior Shape professionals. Rashmi Katyayan and Commodore Anthony Barla have been the project's chief resource persons in Jharkhand. Shape is a Kolkata based communications design company with competency in advertising and marketing communications, social communications and documentary cinema.

As the story of the agrarian environment of the indigenous *Adivasi people being run over by industrialisation and urbanisation in Jharkhand, India's most mineral rich and mining intensive state, Running Out of Time depicts a classic example of the global conflict involving industrialism, ecology, human rights and race.

SYNOPSIS
Running Out of Time begins on a winter morning in an Adivasi village in Jharkhand when harvesting is almost over. It is a brief moment of time when the Adivasi cultivators' life regains some balance. Life in the villages returns to a semblance of wholeness.

hindu Extremists: L.K Advani, Ashok Singhal and Praveen Togadia:Hit List of Maoist?

Deep inside the jungles near Kandhamal last week Sabyasachi Panda alias Sunil, secretary of the Orissa division of the CPI (Maoists) told a group of journalists that top three leaders of Sangh Parivar-BJP leader LK Advani and VHP leaders Ashok Singhal and Praveen Togadia were on their 'ht-list'.

"We will kill the trio whenever we get the chance". The 'most wanted' underground leader made it clear that they executed the Swami because he was responsible for

the persecution and forced re-conversion of Dalit-Christians. The state Maoist Chief made it clear that they were angry with the Hindutava outfits for conducting forced re-conversion.

The re-conversion campaign amid continuing anti-Pana, anti-Christian violence in Kandhamal and Maoists' threat to militarily intervene has clearly pushed Orissa into a dangerous zone where tribal anger was consuming everything. Last week as an expression of their uncontrolled anger not only against Panas but against the security forces, a CRPF jawan was dragged inside jungle and hacked to death.

America listen Carefully, I voted with President Bush over 90% of the time, I am Proud of it.

Listen carefully America and Mr.Barack Obama, I voted over 90% of the time with President Bush in screwing up our economy, education, health care and jobs in America, why would I differ from Bush anyways, 90% of everything Bush does is same as mine as far as politics and running America concerned?.. But, I also have the audacity to put up advertisement and say the last 8 years were terrible and did not work we need change. Oh I am sorry, I thought CHANGE is your campaign sign but hey, why not I use them I have none anyways, there is no change from last 8 years in my calendar as you see I was part of the last 8 years and I voted, may be another 4 years Sarah and I wish to drag America to it's feet, so what?, Sarah and Me are Mavericks…..and we know how to continue to destroy American living standards and dignity?.

India: What's in a (Sur)name Ask Dalits

There is a lot in surnames and names in India, Yes dear Megha, and the surnames should be banned, barred and eradicated in India. If caste has to be annihilated, names that depicts and indicate a slightest of divisive, filthy caste terms should go...it is time, there are so many things need to be abolished in India, but first the name of castes, starts with the surnames. Then certain places and villages named after casteistic languages should be .

By Shoma Sen, "Surnames should be abolished," Megha Ramteke, a young lecturer of English at PWS College, Nagpur, says emphatically, even though as a girl belonging to the dalit (erstwhile untouchables) community she never felt any overt signs of casteism. However, Ramteke knows that not all dalit youngsters are as lucky as she is - many encounter subtle forms of discrimination in their everyday lives.

Tamil Nadu Dalit Forum:- Rampant Dalit Atrocity in Tamil Nadu

This forum is going to have a public hearing in Tamil Nadu about the various dalit atrocity, including Police brutality and atrocity against dalits that is ongoing widespred in the state of Tamil Nadu.

3-Year Old girls life and childhood stolen by lunatic hindus in Nepal? Buddhists join too?

Picture: AP Photo: Matani Shakya, 3, newly appointed 'kumari,' or living goddess in Nepal, looks on as farewell...

This adorable little 3 year old girls life is already stolen and her life will be betrayed by her parents, the hindu community and the fake Buddhist community of Nepal. It is the nation of Nepal one day will have to answer such barbaric rituals and traditions as this for which astonisngly Buddhists have been part of it.

It is a tradition of the hindu's in Nepal to which the Buddhists were made scapegoat and partners in crime.I am pretty sure, these are not the real Buddhists or atleast they are not the followers of our great emancipator of the whole humanity, Lord Buddha. Ofcourse, Shakya is the Buddha's clans, the difference the original Shakya King did not let Buddha to go out of the kingdom to become an ascetic or a saint, whereas today's fake Shakya's chasing the little babies out to get a goddeshood?. WoW.....insanity at the heights in India and along the same tradition in Nepal, because in both these countries the hindus rule!!.

Lord Buddha would have felt miserable and tormented to see such events, he would have removed all these fake Nepale Buddhists out of Buddhism.

Buddha never believed in rituals and fake worships, and certainly Buddha would have killed himself to see such an horror of taking a 3 year old's life away at such a naive and early age, she will not grow naturally and as a child, it is a life lost in the name of god and craziness.

Will the International Human Rights organization, international womans organization and childrens protection associations take a note of this child abuse and exploitation of a girl's future in the name of god and religion?.

Orissa is burning- Instead of Dismissing the BJP Govt, there is NO Action?

Picture from:HeadlinesIndia.com

The state of Orissa is burning in communal violence and hindu terrorist groups like VHP killing and raping the innocent dalit christians and minorities, the home minister Shivarj Patel is asking for stringent actions, not asking the PM to dismiss the Orissa govt.

The Governor of Orissa and Home Minister should be shacked, they do not deserve to continue the job, Orissa govt should be dismissed and president's rule must be imposed. Unfourtunetly, the current president of India is a dummy and the Prime

Minister has no idea about how much violence and atrocity is going on in Orissa. It is a tragedy of tragedies, if PM of India wakes up this morning, I hope some unexplainable miracle happens. He should impose President's rule in Orissa and Karnataka. Ban all the hindu extremists and terrorists, first the VHP, then Bajran Dal and then all other hindu and muslim extremists groups should be banned and put those resist into life time jail.

Looks like a competitive upgrade is taking place by both Kindler and sony reader, sony seems to have lot more issues than Kindler, in either case, this is the future of reading is going to be, perhaps, more books and news papers can be read through electronic reader??

Sony Reader: Pics from Sony.com

FT.com review: The new 10-ounce model can hold about 350 books in its internal memory and also features flash memory card expansion slots but crucially is still missing the Kindle’s wireless capabilities. That means instead of being able to wirelessly download content directly to the device (the Kindle has a built-in Sprint EVDO data module), Sony PRS-700 users still have to load books and other e-documents via a PC.

Google claims that this little gadget will help children's get appropriate rest and ofcourse it is part of a healthy development?,

how about google's good nite lite?.

It seems this little wake up tool will display moon and sun, kind of a timing tool displaying a time to wake and time to sleep? did you get this?.

Hindu Liar and His Propoganda to Cover up the Hindu Caste System!

This following hindu Liar who runs the "Hindu council of UK" is all but sabotagery of truth about how the caste system evolved and preached by the hindus?. He and his cronies are propagting wrong and untruthful messages to the UK mass and to the world that the caste system is not a hindu religious or hindu created system, such an outrageous and obnoxious coverup he think that they can get away from such perpetration of truth of India's centuries old pathology the hindu caste system?.

The recent perpetraton of this so called "hindu council" submitted a report to the UK parliment saying caste system was created by the British colonization but not a part of hindu religion, WoW .....what a joke, we must send hindu mafia a stern warning and submit a counter memorandam to the British Parliment indicating right in UK's soil there were caste discrimination reported let alone in India, Nepal and other nations. I believe there is already a report that has been prepared by the dalits in UK, we have to wait and see the latest activity about this counter report and it's impact on British Parliment and other policy makers in UK.

In the meanwhile, perpetrators of this kind in the following picture must be taught a correct lesson as to where the caste sytem originated, evolved and who adhere to it.

Simply mudslinging using this caste term to promote violence and atrocity on minorities and dalits in India and elsewhere should not be tolerated, dalits must teach them the right lesson.

Caste & Conversion

Compounding one atrocity committed in the name of religion (Caste) with another atrocity still being committed in the name of religion (Conversion).

Yesterday the undersigned was invited by Premier Christian Radio to participate in a debate with Sam Paul senior member of the All India Christian Council on the issue of caste and conversion. This is a very topical issue. Recently a couple of mainstream TV programmes have also focused on the issue of the outcastes or dalits in India.

My response was very clear. Hereditary hierarchical caste system is NOT Hinduism. It is an atrocity committed in the name of Hinduism and as such we condemn it in harshest terms. The only mention on what can be called the idea of ‘caste’ in the scriptures of authority of Hinduism is a mention in the Rig Veda that the aptitude of a person must be taken into account to decide what role he should play in society. There is no mention of a hereditary or hierarchical caste system. The undersigned had to fight the education system in this country to ensure that such misconceptions about Hinduism are not taught or paraded as Hinduism in the education system.

Recent attacks on Churches in Karnataka is a cowardly terrorist acts of Bajrang Dal

The Central govt ordered immediate investigation and strong actions on the perpetrators of the recent terrorist activities in Karnataka, the Bajrang Dal leader caught shown in this picture is the latest move on the govt of Karnataka. Is it just a drama of the current CM of Karnataka Yediyurappa is a big question. As the BJP govt that rules state of KA is full of BJP members who are also Bajrang Dal or VHP or other hindu terrorist groups. What is the central govt is going to do now?. Will you ban these groups and further deterioration of law and order?. What are going to do, some dramas or real actions?.

This guy must go to jail for life time or hang him for crimes against humanity, disturbance of civil obedience, destroying public and church properties, causing injuries and mental agony to church goers and peace loving Indians, he has to pay for it and no one dare to even think of doing such things, can the govt or some conscious Indian will do something about it, not even some Christians to take this matter to the highest possible ground of justice??. Will they?

Bihar Flood & Caste Discrimination in rescue mission!!??

Bihar Flood Disaster & Caste Discrimination!

In India, discrimination and atrocity afflicted on the innocent dalits does not stop even in natural calamity.

While the nature itself does not know any color, creed or caste and it causes havoc all over to all Indians the same way.......,

....what follows after a disaster is a much more huge disaster that is overlooked by the world. Any time there is such a huge loss of human lives, properties and loss of homes,the rescuers and officials who work in these disaster areas cause more suffering by sabotaging the rescue effort, stealing the supplies and support available and take it to the upper castes, ignoring the real and desperate help seekers, the dalits.

How?, the aid workers and officials are casteists, more supply and support goes to the caste people and no or abysmal support reaches the dalits, the hungry and suffering hardly get their due from the government or from the international support send to them, it does not reach the right people.

This has happened time and again
(inset, check out some personal experience of dalits who witnessed this discrimination.....)

When the worst disasters of disasters ever known to Indians "Tsunami" heppaned few years ago,

it devastated Indians, dalits got the worst of it all.

But, they were abandoned and betrayed by all the international aid that where sent to India, dalits where provided shelter but if one would look very carefully, the caste people were provided shelter safely on upper floors and all the dalits where put into the ground floor, if and when another flood hits due to Tsunami, they will be get killed and washed out first, if it all the flood reaches higher limits, the caste people still have a greater chances to live happily ever after killing dalits?.

From:

"Pra K"

To:

humanhorizons@yahoogroups.co.uk

And may I add that similar was the situation in Tamil Nadu following the tsumani. I was in Nagapatinum district (the worst affaceted district in terms on numbers of deaths) to cordinate and ensure the measles vaccination and Vitamin A campaign for TN. The discrimation was hidden in many relief camps in the district unless you investigate keeping the caste discrimination in the mind.
.................in one relief camps I learnt that on the day when tsunami struck, the college administation had refused to open their gates to people for shelter as they belonged to villages which had high number of dalits. In another instance of a relief camp in school, when one visits - every thing appears fine. On close obeservation, I learned that ground floor camp inmates were all dalits and on the first floor were brahmins. Why? because in case of another tsumani attack, the dalits will be washed away (die) first.

On 9/5/08, K M <kau.......@gmail. com> wrote:

Similar was the case at the time of Earth quake at Katchchh district, where there was clear cut disctinction between the two.

Everytime a truck with relief material come, it will go to a place where untouchables cant go and cant stand in queue for receiving those aids.

The aids sent to those area were sent from all over the state, country and world irrespective of any caste considerations.

Unfortunately the bundled sent from Gujart state were getting a tag of one political party.

One has to take care of all.

Bihar Flood:- Dalits were ill treated and left behind even in the Worst Floods?

Untouchables suffer most in miserable Bihar flood

By Gavin Rabinwitz

Font Scale:

Posted 02 September 2008 @ 04:12 pm GMT

In the two weeks since a monsoon-swollen river burst its banks, ancient prejudices have run just as deep as the floodwaters.

India's "untouchables" are the last to be rescued if at all from a deluge that has killed dozens and made 1.2 million homeless.

Two men wade through flood waters in Madhepura district in Bihar, India, Monday, Sept.1, 2008.

Dalits, the social outcasts at the bottom of the Hindu caste ladder,

have borne the brunt of the devastation as the rampaging Kosi River swamped hundreds of square miles in northern India

after it overflowed and shifted its course dozens of miles to the east.

China & Tibet Conflicts Continue......!!

Drepung Monastery..........
Major monastery reopens in Tibet

China & Dictatorship has no limits to stupidity, here is one of their disgruntled action:

"Drepung, the largest Tibetan monastery and once home to as many as 10,000 monks, is now a re-education camp for monks involved in the March 14 uprising," she wrote. As many as 1,000 monks inside are being forced to undergo "patriotic education" in which they are required to denounce the Dalai Lama and embrace Communist Party directives, she wrote".

BEIJING: A major Buddhist monastery in Tibet reopened this week five months after being shut by the authorities during anti-government riots that rocked the region's capital, a staff member said Friday.

The Drepung Monastery, on the outskirts of Lhasa, reopened to dozens of visitors earlier this week and has been "fairly busy" since, said a staff member who gave only his first name, Luobu. He said the monastery would hold ceremonies Saturday as part of a larger religious festival.

I feel sorry for the mr durai .
Although i have heard similar incidents, I have a lot of faith in DR JS Rajkumar from a personal experience.

Infact we had good experience twice involving major cancer operations.

My mother Saraswathi was operated upon by Dr JS Rajkumar at Rigid hospital 9 years ago for a cancer in the food pipe involving the lower part near the stomach.

We consulted many surgeons before going to DR Rajkumar . Those doctors dilly dallyed a lot and were referring to many other places for investigations, tests, CT scan etc. nobody could give us a guarantee about the success of the operation.We were happy to find everything under one roof at Rigid hospital as my mother could not travel much and they got her ready for the operation very quickly. our duration of further waiting and anxiety was shortened.We explained our situation to the billing department that we may not be able to pay mucn as we had already spent a lot. They said dr had already told them to reduce the package as my mother was suffering for quite some time.

The operation went on smoothly. Dr removed the lower part of food pipe and upper part of stomach and re joined it.

After the operation my mother could not eat for some time. we were all worried about the tube in her nose. slowly the swelling in her stomach came down and she was given water. she stayed in hospital for two weeks. at one stage dr said we may consider operating again if the swelling did not reduce. but it reduced with monitoring after a few days. By god's grace she was fine eating normally and put on weight. we were all happy. Dr further reduced our bill when we went home at our request. we regularly went to him for follow up for some time and then stopped.

this year after 9 years we found that my mother had cancer in the mouth and it had spread to her neck ( lymph node). many of our well wishers and family friends said we had to go to cancer specialist. so we visited 2 specialists. both were good surgeons who said the old cancer had not recurred and this was a new cancer.but they were afraid to operate on her as due to her advancing age ( she is above 60 now).

my mother lost faith and refused to see any doctors and the surgery.

a doctor who is a surgeon himself near my house in mogappair suggested we go back to dr rajkumar to take an opinion as dr rajkumar was being invited internationally to demonstrate surgeries..

we met him at his new hospital at perungudi . dr rajkumar remembered my mother's name and was upset to know she had another cancer. the operation would be complex he explained and required long operation to remove the cancer both from the mouth and the neck.only sir could convince my mother easily for the operation. the operation took 4 hours. the cancer was removed from both places and a temporary plate was placed in the mouth to cover the hole after taking the cancer out. after some time it was removed once the hole closed. she is on follow up with the medical cance specialist and doing well.(touch wood). we know that dr goes to both rigid and lifeline nowadays. he is a busy man because so many patients come to him from all over India and abroad for help.

it was difficult to meet him many times . so when we used to phone him he used to come and visit at night 1130,

twelve etc to see my mother after finishing his evening consultation. once we explained that we may not afford the operation and asked him to do the operation in 2 stages - one for the mouth and another for the neck.

he said he cannot compromise care. so he did both stages in one setting ( 4 hours ) for same charge. for a few days he went abroad after my mother's operaion during which time his assistant doctors took good care of my mother and got opinions from sir over phone.

I have also heard of bad stories about sir. I do not know how it happened.but still went to him.

I really feel sorry for their relatives. trusting a doctor comes only with experience. we have good experiences twice involving high risk complicated operations with good result.

I know I am not alone in this opinion.
let god be with mr durai in his moments of despair.

Recent Flurry of Media News just after "Dalit Digital Media Part I ......!

Dalit Digital Media, an e-Media in the making!?.

Just after I published the part I of "Dalit Digital Media"the anticipated several part alternative media analysis, there are several interesting and factual news came out on the internet, read the following two news!.

Lessons for Journalists

The TV news landscape has been a bleak one this year. Local and national media outlets have laid off experienced, highly paid personnel, while attempting to come up with a Web strategy for the news-on-demand revolution

. Those journalists still employed now gripe about having to file for their newspaper or TV station Web sites in addition to their normal workload.

Steve Safran is one of those helping news organizations deal with all this. Safran, who spent 15 years producing for traditional news outlets before becoming a senior VP for Web. 2.0 at the Dallas-based consulting firm Audience Research and Development, described for me the adaptation process for journalists who see the digital waters rising.

Tamil Actor/Politician Vijayakanth's men attacked Comedian Vadivelu's house and office?

In Tamil Movies you do not happen to see an ?Hero actor sending a mob of thugs and goondas to unlease barbaric attack on another actor who is a comedian.

Well, it just happened in real life, in this case it seems to be a comedian's house?.

The so called Vijaykanth, supposed to be an actor who turned into a politician recently sent 40 rowdies to attack a fine and reputed comedian in Tamil Nadu,

Vadivelu, quite a talented and well accepted comedian in the state of TN.

Though the exact background behind such animosity or vengence

in this attack is not clear, (there are couple of theories floating at the moment

1.Obnoxious car parking, voilating to give any rooms for the other drivers and residents of the neighbourhood during Vijayakanth's visit to his sister's house located in the same area where Vadivelu lives??There was some fights on this parking violation a year ago it seems??.
2. According to some reports, Vijayakanth asked Vadivelu to portray Vijayakanth in his commedy scens as a Chief Minister for which Vadivelu declined to do so?, seems to be a good reason why the actor got upset??, or 3.All those Vijayakant's folk and himself spreading a propoganda that Vadivelu is a scapegoat, MK is using him or provoking Vadivelu to go against VK??

what a joke?). This does not sound any valid reason one will go to extent of conspire to kill????The real reason or cause of this goondaism of Vijayakanth is not clear at this juncture.

Nevertheless, no conscious Tamilian will tolerate such a barbaric thoughts of attacking a fellow actor or any other individual Tamilian let alone an actor, we are all damn human beings whether actor/cheif minister or whatever, just humans.

No one has any right to attack another human in a civilized world, there are legal pathways one can persue to correct if there are issues?.

The other reason not reported or not uttered by anyone or any newspaper is the caste stupidity, Tamilians/hindus are well known for believing in caste filth?. Even among the dalits (so many damn sub-caste groups, they behave like cat and mouse, kill each other in the name of caste beliefs).

Is there any such vengence in this case is not clear?. IsVijayakanth a casteist or barbaric hindu believer,

there are news he uttered about he is a Gandhian, hindu and all those bullshits...but again it is too early to say if he is casteistic in his approach, will update soon.

Only time can tell us what is the real cause of Vijayakanth and Vadivelu's fight in Chennai?.

Print Media Vs E-Media the battle is on?

After the " Dalit Digital Media Part I" appeared last week on upliftthem, it would have raised some ambiguity among some readers in India as to what the heck is this "Digital Media is about", but what this people do not know, is the digital media or E-media is a real and powerful challenge to the press media, and infact a change is taking place in the cyberworld now.

Print Media vs. E-Media: The Battle Is On

It's clear from all the layoffs and red ink that the newspaper and print magazine publishing business has been going through painful transitions in the face of Web-based media, writes columnist Theodore F. di Stefano. But that's not to say paper-based news is headed for certain death. There will still be room for the printed page in certain functions, he writes

Dalit Digital Media:- Shuddering the Hinduized News Media!! PartI

Toronto Star, Canada:-Caste Bias slow to die? Toronto businessman, born an 'untouchable,' laments India's shame

First, thanks to the writer of this article and to "theStar" for publishing this news.

Mabbas!, What is so wrong about the star publishing this news on Independence Day? while India to the most part is not free from caste discrimination, corruption, rape, poverty and so many other debilitating pathology that is ongoing.

What is wrong in writing about a discrimination that is strongly stems from the very religious scriptures and practices of hindus that has destroyed growth and well being of India for centuries and centuries, if humans are discriminated in the name of a ruthless and meaningless caste system,

it should be exposed on the day of Independence or republic or any day. What is the big deal about minority leaders kept in the parliment, they are after all puppets, do not make any ground breaking changes to policies neither do they contribute to any rules or making of rules anyways.

President of India does not have much to say other than decorating podiums and meetings, and sign some papers that go to their office?. India still is a poverty ridden nation, half of the people are tortured by this hindu religious caste system and do not get any opportunity to lead life by a job or by a decent upbringing because the hindus treat them as animals and say they do not have merits?.

What the heck is merit when the very basic humanity is not available in their mind set.

If caste discrimination is experienced in a far away land of Canada, UK, US and other countries, it needs to be written on an Independence day

, yes Dr.Ambedkar was the founder and father of the constitution that is why India is atleast a nation now, otherwise they will be killing each other in the name of who is upper and who is lower caste, which is ongoing all over India anyways, the constitutional rights are not implemented or managed in a way it supposed to be, that is because of the casteistic people are ruling the nation?. Man Mohan Singh, did not transform the social chaos of

India

into a humanitarian nation, neither the two dozens of former prime ministers of

India

did, as they are also brought up in the lenience of hindu tradition.

As per Jen's comments: you were so wrong!?, caste system does not exist in any other society or culture than hindu society.

The caste system is a religiously bound practice that teaches: all men or not equal, let me learn from you if there is any other religion or society teaches that all men are not equal.

In other nations, there could be some imbalances in societies, but everyone has the right as a human and equally treated by the law as well as by the people,

but In India the very Manusmiriti the erstwhile law book of hindus and the holy gita of hindus teaches human discrimination. The hindus will go take a shower to purify? if they had known that they were touched or around dalits or lower castes or for that matter even a foreigner? such is their mental make up,

if it did not change in centuries, there is something fundamentally terrible in side their brain. Look at the response of Mabbas, is’t that he should be saying “yes” there are issues with Indian culture but we are working?, instead he throws his anger on star saying can you publish this article on Canada day and all such irrational arguments a well known tricks of hindus. Yes, star should write about the discrimination problems in Canada too....bur remember, caste system is dangerously practiced in the name of god worship and religious teaching........should not be tolerated by good humans.

Democracy’s Dharma:

Religious Renaissance and
Political Development in Taiwan

Available at your favorite local independent bookstore, Amazon.com (US) or Amazon.ca (Canada).

Reviewed by Christopher Queen

The global reach and growing influence of the three Taiwanese Buddhist organizations featured in Richard Madsen’s new book, Democracy’s Dharma: Religious Renaissance and Political Development in Taiwan, will come as news to some American Buddhists. Others will recall them in different contexts. Do you remember Vice President Al Gore’s visit, during the 1996 presidential campaign, to the Hsi Lai Temple near Los Angeles—the largest Buddhist temple in North America—when a substantial campaign donation led to congressional hearings into possible improper connections between the Democrats and the temple’s sponsor, Buddha’s Light Mountain of Taiwan? While some fundraisers were prosecuted, neither the party nor the temple were charged with wrongdoing. Three years later, college students organized campus benefit concerts across the country for the Tzu Chi Buddhist Compassion Relief Association following the devastating earthquake in Taiwan on September 21, 1999. Within months, Tzu Chi raised more than $250 million worldwide to support the work of the 200,000 volunteers who provided medical treatment and temporary housing for tens of thousands of victims.

Buddha Vihara Unearthed in Orissa!

Buddha Vihar unearthed in Kendrapara

The workers stumbled upon a Buddha vihar beneath the earth after they dug five feet.

Kendrapara, Jan 15 ( Odisha.in) The remains of a Buddha vihar along with some stone images of Lord Ganesh and others were unearthed from a cremation ground in village Palei 15 km from here on Sunday.

"The unearthed Buddhist monastery had perhaps been built in 8th century AD under the active royal patronage and propagation of a Buddhist king of Bhaumakura dynasty flourished within 8th to 11th, century AD in Orissa.

But, in 12th century, Hindu Rajas of Somabanshi and Gangs of Orissa were anti- Buddhism and pro- Bramahanical who could have possible demolished the Buddhist monastery at Palei and constructed a Shiva or Mahakala temple on the ruins of the Buddha vihar.

Indian Media: Incompetent, Impotent & bag of shit heads!

How stupid Indian Media and Journalists are, here is an hilariously concocted news that caught up fire in the lunatic and casteistic Indian media.

Tuesday, July 01, 2008

Stupid!, Mail Today carried the story on the masthead, but here are the contents of a mail - no, not libellous!

Penpricks, a blog run by an anonymous journalist, supposedly from Goa has taken major newspapers in the country for a ride. Though the blog penpricks.blogspot.com has been promising to break the story soon, a Reuters blog has snatched its scoop!

This blogger by name "Pen Pricks?" writes about how the Indian Media salivated to publish news about recent avoidable and inhuman murders in India by publishing without any consiousness, standards, truths or ethics. Oh what are these things........!, oh well, for Indian media truth and ethical standards are alien and do not even worry to think along this line.....!.

Here is the Pen Pricks frank news and how did it catch a wild fire among Indian shit head journalists and the news papers. Read it yourself and judge?

As journalists, we are ashamed at the way the Indian media reported the two most sensational murders in recent times. These tragedies virtually grabbed the attention of Western and Northern regions of India. Its the murders of Scarlett Keeling at Anjuna, Goa and Arushi Talwar in NOIDA, near Delhi we are talking about.

While initially, the media did play a role in bringing police incompetency to the fore in these two cases, they completely went hell-for-leather subsequently.

The media behaved like this stallion, which ran for almost two weeks till it collapsed dead… Why? Cause it had overheard that the stud farm owner tell the stable boy, “the moment those nuts bounce back into the barn, snip em off.”

Sure no one wants to be a gelding… But is being called an ass, any better?

Dr.B.R.Ambedkar & His Vision..!, in his own words from his writings

On Science & Society: Buddha & Dhamma
I regard the Buddha's Dhamma to be the best. No religion can be compared to it. If a modern man who knws science must have a religion, the only religion he can have is the Religion of the Buddha. This conviction has grown in me after thirty-five years of close study of all religions.

About Revolution:`For a successful total revolution, it is not enough that there is discontent. What is required is a profound and thorough conviction of the justice, necessity and importance of political and social rights.'

Krishna is a Fraud & Rama is a Beast:

I told my father that I did not like any of the figures in [the] Mahabharata. I said, "I do not like Bhishma and Drona, nor Krishna. Bhishma and Drona were hypocrites. They said one thing and did quite the opposite. Krishna believed in fraud. His life is nothing but a series of frauds. Equal dislike I have for Rama. Examine his conduct in the Sarupnakha [=Shurpanakha] episode [and] in the Vali Sugriva episode, and his beastly behaviour towards Sita." My father was silent, and made no reply. He knew that there was a revolt.

Why there was a NEED to write Buddha & Dhamma:

The urge to write this book has a different origin. In 1951 the Editor of the Mahabodhi Society's Journal of Calcutta asked me to write an article for the Vaishak Number. In that article I argued that the Buddha's Religion was the only religion which a society awakened by science could accept, and without which it would perish. I also pointed out that for the modern world Buddhism was the only religion which it must have to save itself. That Buddhism makes [a] slow advance is due to the fact that its literature is so vast that no one can read the whole of it. That it has no such thing as a bible, as the Christians have, is its greatest handicap. On the publication of this article, I received many calls, written and oral, to write such a book. It is in response to these calls that I have undertaken the task.

US Politics, Democratic Party & Daily Kose

I I always said Politics is a garbage, or to be very precisely said that the 21st century politicians coverted the good governance into a garbage? I do not know this the reason why lots of people do not show any interest anymore.......nor our young generation exhibit any interest in politics.

But, every now and then in the middle of a garbage or mound of cow shit we see good politicians like Obama comes out. Democratic party after lossing two times to the most useless and garbage politician Bush went crazy in soul searching.....there was a commotion like valcano about four years ago among democrates to soul search, this exact word was used in media, party circles, among people, academicians and even within my friends circle, we used to talk like this damn democrates must soul search.......fortunately it came to fruition whether the party searched or it was a spontaneous eruption of need for a better politician.......CHANGE........is the discovery of OBAMA.

Right now in the history of American politics, people from all walks of life enormously tuned their ears and mouths to political debates, discussion and writings. While the mainstrema media is still the same garbage, the alternative blogs/sites and independent internet writers are providing great political news..............a friend of mine recently asked me if I check "Daily Kose".com?. I said no...., because I was not aware of a single good place to go read some sensible and rationale analysis of what goes on in the US politics, then, after hearing from my friend, I had visited this site www.dailykos.com, infact the exact phrase my friend used about this blog "the bible of democratic news", he sounded jublient and passionate about this blog. To my surprise, it is actually a great place to read about today's politics, especially democratic party news, especially Obama news. The owner of this website is doing what he has to do to America, to tell them the truth withour any truncation, I like the analysis, information, knowledge and critics from this blog. Good luck dailykose, thanks for this good news service.

Bandit Queen?: Is Bandit Queen my Best Film ever?, Shekhar Kapur writes!

Shekhar Kapur, a filmaker and director of the movie "Bandit Queen that portrayed the true life story of "Phoolan Devi", writes in his blog about if this is the best film ever, I must say to Sekhar Kapoor that this is the best film you have ever made so far and it will be a great challenge to you to make another movie that can be anywhere close to this masterpiece for many reasons.

In any case, your courage and integrity to tell the obnoxious hindus and Indians about how terrible our society because of caste system and discrimination deserves great appreciation, such works bring insights into people who do not understand the society well or less well educated about their own country and people. Yes, it is one of the greatest Indian film, in my view it is a real story and real life except it was done by actors.

Is Bandit Queen my best film ?
Certainly more people have seen the two Elizabeth's, Massom and Mr India. However the following were the director's notes attached to the DVD that were written in a tearing hurry. The Independent newspaper, in the UK, however, decided to publish my notes as a full page review of the film ! And so I read my notes again. Sometimes when you write under pressure, as I did this piece - your own words surprise you with their honesty. I am sharing the notes with you :
"When a Directors reflects on his body of work there is always a film that stands out as his personal favourite. Often that impression is coloured by the experience during the filming. But when the 'on set' experience is astounding and results in a film that survives years that have passed. When the film has been etched in the political consciousness of the people that watched it. When a film has caused a social re-evaluation. When a film has been at the centre of a political storm and caused an uproar in India's parliament. What can a Director say, but that this was my most defining film - one that I would find very very difficult to surpass.....
Bandit Queen was first banned by the censor board in India, not so much for it's language and the acute and frank depiction of the humiliation and brutality of rape, but mostly for it's politics. Where a society and a government controlled by the higher caste's saw this film as a potentially subversive film that could lead to political disruption.
And it did. Phoolan Devi, who's life the main character in this film depicts, was freed from prison, came out and formed her own political party representing the lower castes, galvanized oppressed women to vote for her, and won a seat in India's parliament. All of this after the film was released.

It is CANADA'S turn now to Apologise to Indians?

We keep hearing all these apologies to Native Indians and aboriginals by various countries, few months ago, we heard it from Prime Minister Kevin Rudd of Australia & now it is Canada that is apologising, yea well...., what do you realy do to help this chaos of the society. Did anything solid happen in these countries to clean up this atrocity on Indians and Natives?. ....
Canada apologises to Indians for years of abuse in schools

Published Date: 12 June 2008

By ROB GILLIES

IN OTTAWA

CANADA'S prime minister was to offer a public apology yesterday for his country's century-long policy of forcing Canadian Indian children into Christian schools to strip them of their aboriginal culture.

From the 19th century until the 1970s, more than 150,000 children were sent to the state-funded schools. Many were forced to leave their parents' homes, as part of a programme to integrate them into Canadian society, and became victims of physical and sexual abuse.

French aid to Myanmur Cyclone hit region cannot be delivered?

Just when we thought that the UN secretary general's visit to Burma would have helped the military moron with some understanding, it does seems to happen, the military maniac has played a fool again asking the French aid to be delivered to Thailand and then from Thailand it will be transfered to Burma, sh...t what a terrible demon this guy Junta leader and the party is?.

YANGON (AFP) - Efforts to deliver life-saving aid to Myanmar's cyclone victims hit trouble Monday as France turned back a ship laden with supplies, citing its shock at the resistance of Yangon's military regime.

The military vessel carrying 1,000 tonnes of aid for the battered Irrawaddy Delta was instead sent to Thailand to be handed to the World Food Programme for distribution, the French defence and foreign ministries said in a statement.

TNNTIRAVADE/KOLHAPUR: An insolent society would not permit him and his ancestors basic human contact, keeping him in a ghetto outside his village in Kolhapur district for centuries. Fortunately, celestial wonders are devoid of such bias, allowing Dalit boy Shridhar Kamble to have his head in the stars, literally.

Impressed by 17-year-old Shridhar's theory of galaxy evolution, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has invited the farm labourer's son into their fold as a junior scientist.

Ambedkar News & My Headlines

A messiah of the suppressed and the oppressed - I By V.Sundaram, Rt IAS officer vsundaram@newstodaynet.com Ambedkar's saga of struggle against the cruel practice of untouchability began sometime before the Jallian Wala Bagh massacre in April 1919. As a leading Indian scholar, Ambedkar had been invited to testify before the Southborough Committee, which was preparing the Government of India Act 1919. At this hearing, Ambedkar argued for creating separate electorates and reservations for Dalits and other religious communities.

In 1920, he began the publication of the weekly Mooknayak (Leader of the Silent) in Bombay. This Journal became very popular and Ambedkar used this journal to criticize the orthodox Hindu politicians. Through the columns of this journal, Ambedkar launched a frontal attack against the reluctance of the Indian political community at that time to fight against the evil of caste discrimination. His speech at a Depressed Classes Conference in Kolhapur in 1920 impressed the local state ruler Shahu IV, who shocked orthodox society by dining with Ambekdar.

Quotes from Dr.B.R.Ambedkar “Noble is your aim and sublime and glorious is your mission. Blessed are those who are awakened to their duty to those among whom they are born. Glory to those who devote their time, talents and their all to the amelioration of slavery. Glory to those who would reap their struggle for the liberation of the enslaved in spite of heavy odds, carpine humiliation, storms and dangers till the downtrodden secure their Human Rights.” -Dr.B.R.Ambedkar.
