So finally the Ayodhya Mandir/Babri Masjid or Liberhan commission report as it is popularly called, is out in the open and its contents “leaked”…(yeah right).
Rab ek hai,sab mazhab ek hain (God is one, all religions are one)
Mazhab ki ek zabaan hoti hai, aman ki(All religions speak one language, language of unity) Anekta me Ekta (Unity in Diversity) and yet our socio-political blood suckers try to divide man,his religion and his God.
Hindu,Muslim,Sikh, Isaai, apas me sab Bhai Bhai (Hindu Muslim,Sikh and Christians are all brothers) is what we are taught in school and by the time we are able enough to understand the reality of life, each of us are forced into religious segragation…Tu Muslim,main Hindu(You are a Muslim and I am a Hindu).
Every person is judged on the basis of his/her religion or caste, when in reality these people we call “Politicians” belong to the most lowest and demeaning religion/caste – the religion of hypocricy,corruption,lies, a.k.a. Politics.
Lord Raam was an avatar of Lord Vishnu, the preserver of earth and humanity, but on December 6, 1992, when the land, disputed to be Lord Raam’s birthplace saw demolition of another holy shrine(The Babri Mosque) in the name of Hindutva, Humanity died that very day and every level minded person who questioned this barbaric act and its need, breathed these two words with a sad and low voice – Hey Raam!
Hey Raam!
Please answer this
You are sitting in your living room, minding you own business, reading a news paper, while you wife is busy cooking food and your kids are playing in the next room.
Suddenly some one enters your house slaps you on the face, hits you wife and kids for no reason, what will you do?
In most cases you too will react and hit that guy back.But had it been for Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, we would’ve been expected to invite the guy to hit once more on the other side of the face without even asking the fault.Non-violence is not the answer to anything.Humming the tune of Non-Violence or Ahimsa is disgrace to sacrifices made by martyrs like Rani Lakshmi Bai, Tantya Tope, Bhagat Singh, etc.
This country can no longer be called Hindustan or the place of Hindus because unfortunately, Hindus are the most oppressed people than other communities.This is the only country the world which turned a significantly major community into a minority to support other communities who have done nothing for the progress of the nation.
Signatures that divided a nation still has its reprecussions, people are still being killed.The fire which was lighted more than 60 years ago has still not died down and it will not die down till the people of this country raise thier voices against every injustice being done to them.Be it Political Party A, B or C no one is good enough to lead this nation.
Our country has been robbed time and again by rulers from different countries or of other races. We are still being robbed today by these political parties day after day.
Ask your self, do you really deserve to live in this nation, which will soon come to the verge of more partitions and bloodshed?

India and the Ostrich Syndrome
India has for long been suffering from a problem, no it is not a disease, but something which can be dangerous in the long run.I ask why, why do we Indians have to do stuff the easy way out, why are we so lazy to set things right once and for all.Why do we have to wait until someone points out, look at the garbage on the road or look its a man urinating openly or look at that car which just jumped a red light.
India is gearing for the Commonwealth Games 2010, but had it not been for the games would we have ever got good stadiums, would we have ever got better looking city, cleaner roads and greener parks…the answer is a plain and simple NO.
Just like an ostrich which after burying its head in the sand thinks, no one can see it, we too have a habit of closing our eyes for everything which is ugly around us, be it politics, be it social problems, be it lack of civic ameneties, be it poor infrastructure (for which my friends we pay taxes for)and we imagine we are not a part of it and henceforth we have this “CHALTA HAI YAAR” Attitude.
If the Municipal Corporation Sweeper near your house does not pick the garbage from outside your house, its your kids who can fall sick,if the potholes outside are not taken care off, its your parents who can get hurt falling in it.Why does it not matter to YOU is beyond me, my friend, open your eyes, War of Independence is not just a chapter or an incident in our history books and it was surely not fought for educated people like us to just go with the flow and not raising our voices against unjust practices.
WAKE UP BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!
You Be the Change
Less than an year to go for Commonwealth Games 2010 and we are way short of the “World Class City” status. It’s the same story today as it was about 2 years or maybe even 10 years back, same broken roads, same potholes, same tobacco stained spit marks on the walls, children throwing wrappers on the road, women disposing garbage openly and people urinating openly in public.
Some times I feel are we really the same country that fought for our independence with amazing vigor, for which we are praised around the globe. Did Bhagat Singh, Rani Lakshmi Bai, Tantya Tope, Chandrashekhar Azad, etc, lay their lives for the country just for us to spit on the walls, did the Mahatma went on hunger strike just so that we can pay bribes to corrupt officials who in reality are public servants, did Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru dream of a nation where Goonda Raj is more effective than Democracy?
I don’t think so!
If you have a small bit of patriotism and love for OUR COUNTRY, stop the next guy you see urinating openly, stop the next man to spit on the floor or walls, stop you kids from throwing empty wrappers on the roads, stop your friends from paying or taking bribes, stop your wives from throwing garbage out of the house in open, most of all motivate your self to make these changes.
Internal change is required to instigate external change.So – YOU BE THE CHANGE
Bye Bye Commonwealth

(AFP) – 3 hours ago
NEW DELHI — Commonwealth Games Federation chief Michael Fennell has warned that the 2010 event in India could collapse and has sought the prime minister’s intervention, local media reported on Monday.
Fennell, in a letter to the local organising committee, wrote that it was “reasonable to conclude that the current situation poses a serious risk to the Commonwealth Games in 2010.”
With a year to go until the October 3-14 Games in New Delhi, Fennell has sought an appointment with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during next month’s CGF assembly here to brief him on the delays.
“I feel I must personally brief the Prime Minister of India on the lack of preparations and to seek his input in developing an appropriate recovery plan,” Fennell wrote, the Hindustan Times reported.
“The government of India has committed significant resources towards the operational delivery of the Games. It would be irresponsible and negligent of the CGF not to share its concerns openly with the government.”
Fennell blamed a lack of co-ordination in the local organising committee, headed by Indian Olympic Association chief Suresh Kalmadi, for the delays in preparing for the Games.
“Our concerns are such that unless there is significant change in the management culture and operation of the organising committee these Games will fail from an operational perspective,” he wrote.
“The CGF is extremely worried about the organising committee’s ability to deliver the Games to any comparable standard to that of the last two editions of the Games in Manchester (2002) and Melbourne (2006).
“I’m looking forward to some urgent actions in order to bring about the successful celebration of the Games in 2010.”
Fennell’s remarks follow an Indian government report last month that said work on 14 of the 19 sports venues was running late, while nine transport projects to improve Delhi’s congested road network were at a “high risk” of not being completed in time.
The Comptroller and Auditor General report said that the aquatic complex, which should have been 93 percent finished by August, was only 42 percent complete.
It also said the design of the renovated main stadium was still not finalised.
Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said she was unaware of Fennell’s letter, but was confident that the Games’ infrastructure will be completed on schedule.
“I am not aware of the letter by Michael Fennell, but I know the Commonwealth Games will be held on time,” Dikshit told reporters here.
“We are keeping alternatives ready, the Games will not suffer.
“We are satisfied with the progress of the work, but a little nervous about the completion of it.”
Fennell’s remarks were flayed by the treasurer of the organising committee, A.K. Mattoo, who insisted New Delhi will host a successful Commonwealth Games.
“I am shocked to hear his observation on the committee,” Mattoo told reporters. “We are doing our best and I am confident we will host a successful Games.
“Delays do happen, but criticising is not going to get you anywhere. Having said that, I am confident we will sit together and resolve the issue soon.”
The Games, the biggest multi-sport event to be staged in India since the Asian Games in 1982, feature 71 nations and territories that mostly comprised the former British empire.

A senior citizen out on his evening walk died on Friday after he reportedly fell into a manhole dug up by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi in Malviya Nagar, South Delhi. The police said the body of 78-year-old Trilok Nath Makhen was discovered on Saturday morning by passersby.
The police said Makhen lived in Shivalik Park with his 65-year-old wife, Jaya Rani. According to her, Makhen had gone out for a walk at 7.45 pm. When he failed to return till late, she asked some of her neighbours to look for him. When he did not return all night, she made a PCR call and registered a missing complaint.
The police said there was no barricade around the manhole and they suspect Makhen fell in as he could not spot the hole in time because of the darkness.

What does Independence mean?
The Indian Tricolor
Lets see what’s playing on television today, many Independence Day specials on TV, people sharing their views on how proud they are to be an Indian, few patriotic films are on too, rest of us are planning to go an watch a movie in the cinema near our houses while some of us prefer to take full advantage of the National Holiday by relaxing or taking a nap.
Happy Independence day…Jai Ho…Best wishes on the day of India’s freedom…bla…bla…bla.
I have been receiving SMSes wishing me on this “JOYOUS OCCASION”.
But I am not Happy to be Independent…not in this manner at least. I want to sound REAL not “cool” or “philosophical” by posting such messages either on Facebook or sending my friends wishes of “INDEPENDENCE DAY”.
Does India rock after 63 years of Independence?
In all honesty, I don’t think so.
Yes we are independent to do whatever we want, but we don’t do it, we are independent to make choices but do we ever have a choice, yes we are independent to raise our voices, but do we really every raise our voice against anything?
Punching a few keys on the mobile phone to send your views to news channels on a certain piece of news does not mean raising a voice, to send a few SMSes to friends wishing them for Independence day is not being independent, having the right to vote does not mean having a choice.
So what really does independence mean?
To me Independence means something I can really be proud of, it’s the state of a nation where all individuals are equal and not discriminated from on another, where the guilty is prosecuted and justice is served as soon as possible, where people are not subdued by power, where senior citizens and women can live with dignity and children can feel safe…it’s the state of being completely in control rather being controlled, Raising your voice against corruption, against unjust systems of government is being independent, to think voting is not a matter of choice but a national duty, to pick the right person, to voice concerns over how our hard earned money which is given in the form of tax is used properly for us, is being independent.
Dividing the country/state/village on basis of caste, religion or background does not make a county secular, when small kids instead of going to school, sell Indian flags on traffic signals does not make a country democratic. Soul searching, asking yourself, what have I done to eradicate these problems is required.
Have we really reached that stage where we can do these things, take matter into our own hands when the higher authorities do not respond to our pleas…NO…which proves that we are mentally not independent, we need to break the shackles of the unjust rules, only then can one taste the real freedom.
