Attention international community!!!

Attention international community: Though this problem may seem like an internal problem of India but it may concern the people of other countries too if they are not 'used to' the word 'corruption'. This damned corruption by someone in India extends to as far as UK, Australia and even further.

To sign a pledge, write just 4 words, "I am Anna Hazare" or you may write much more. But tell the corrupt that targeting one Anna Hazare will not finish it all. Tell them that you too are Anna Hazare. Sign your pledge now if you are in a hurry or otherwise keep reading about the reasons for which you should sign this pledge.

The battle is not won as soon as the Government complies and Shree Anna Hazare breaks his fast. In fact the war has just begun and this small win is going to be like the first wicket taken in the match and 9 remain. Celebrate this wicket but take care not to miss a single catch in the future. Your opponent team is so strong that even the tail-enders can drag the match for 10 years. Large percentage of politicians are so 'chaalu' (cunning) that you may not even imagine how many.....(You will read more on our page)....

It is very necessary to produce a million Anna Hazare before the monsoon session of Parliament so that the government does not back-off on the promise and the movement does not die down a natural death like the anti-corruption movement of Mr. Jai Prakash Narayan in the mid-seventies of the last century........(You will read more on our page)....

Now have a look at the particular reasons why you must sign this pledge:

Reason # 1. Anna Hazare has told the media that the politicians and Mafia had paid a "supari" (contract to kill) worth Rs 30 lakhs in Maharashtra......(You will read more in our page)....

Reason # 2.......(You will read all in our page)....

Reason # 1000. (This one for non-Indians). The volumes of corruption in India has reached a level of US$ 39,110,000,000 per single scam. (Ref. INR 1,760,000,000,000 of 2G scam)...... The Commonwealth games scam involves some companies of England and Australia......does that mean some people of these 2 countries are turning corrupt?

Stability in politics

Stability is not India's destiny perhaps

The massive success of Bharat bandh called by opposition parties has been phenomenal. However illegal it may be called, but such a success of such a movement has been seen after years if not decades. This is obvious looking at the public sentiment that the ruling party will have to pay the price for their arrogance in the next elections whenever conducted. Popular sentiment is that the recent increase in prices of petroleum products is most uncalled for and most unnecessary and unwarranted; more so when the crude prices are hovering around $75 or lesser! This is strange that here in India we have crossed the level of retail price of the petroleum products that was at a time when the crude prices had crossed $135.
As is obvious that the effect of increase in this most essential commodity is the highest in spiraling off the multi-pronged inflationary effect. How this can effect the daily living and the sentiments of the common people seems beyond the comprehension of the ruling party in their arrogance. Just on the next day of the announcement of the hike, the Amul and the Mother dairy announced increase in milk prices by Rs 2 (I am not sure how much petrol do they add to the milk). Paras dairy, Parag dairy and local bhaiyajis sort will follow soon. This has further put beyond reach of children of the common people this most essential commodity. Increase in prices of milk products have been a regular trend anyhow. The prices of milk products have been increased many times in the recent past and these are well over the limit where they could have easily absorbed the increase of 7% or so in the fuel which is a small overhead in the cost of distribution. Rise in prices of milk products have been most unjustified of all the commodities and could have been controlled well by those in power. But in India it seems that no one cares and the government is in control of nothing!  Read more of the story in MeraNazaria.com, a part of Newsjyoti group.

 

Honor killers

They are psychos needing counselling

Some people shall agree a hundred percent with me that those who go on a killing spree
in search of some honor in that are more of psychos than criminals. The problem lies
within our family system; the very system in which we find pride and consider
ourselves a 'superior breed' in the world community.
Consider this scenario: More than 90% of the so-called 'honor killings' in the last
one decade are done by the kin of the girls who got involved in love mariages and not
those of the boy. Let us consider the latest triple murder of Kuldeep, Monica and Shobha.
This gruesome murder is also performed by girls relatives as usual and particularly
the girl's young brother and his friends. This gives weight to my theory. In our
family models, right from childhood, a younger brother is taught to 'father'
his sisters, even the elder ones; so much so that even if he is living off on sister's
earning, he tends to bully and dictate her in her everyday life. He boasts of
being protective of his sister in return of her 'Rakhi' and finds pride in it, though
he is not even aware of the line between being 'protective' and being 'intrusive'!
The silence and tolerance of sisters in this regard only adds to the problem
for themselves as well as for the other girls. In this triple murder case, Monica's
brother Ankit, even when his sister was married for ages and living happily with her
husband in her own home, this boy was continuously threatening them with
consequences, just because they got married against 'his' wishes!
What more can you say other than that the boy needed a psychologist or a psychiatrist 
very badly..... read full article at MeraNazaria.com, a part of Newsjyoti group

Debate against hanging? Why?!

Every time a death sentence in pronounced on a dreaded killer or terrorist, the 'so-called intelligentia' of the country gets together and starts a debate on whether the death sentence should be stopped altogether! For God sake do not start it in case of kasab... Let me be very straight-forward regarding this. My view is that if you are a bit lenient towards the likes of Kasab, then you are directly and not indirectly being "unfair, insensitive cruel and even barbaric" towards the likes of little Moshe. Yes, little Moshe, do you care to remember him? He was a 2 year old Israeli child, who had come to visit your country, lost both his parents in the hands of this 'kasai' named Kasab and was seen crying and shouting unconsolably..."Emmmaaaa....." (mama). If you can easily forget and overcome that shout, you may debate against hanging of Kasab and likes. 

What I am trying to emphasize is, are we as a nation being 'selfish and inconsiderate' towards each other? This is heart-breaking that only the close relatives of the dead are seen advocating the death sentence loud and clear (I know millions of those not concerned do so also) but still millions of others are seen either being 'indifferent' towards the matter or worse 'become intellectuals' and start discussing the 'pros and cons' of the sentence. 
Here I am addressing only this 'intelligentia' and the 'care-a-damn' types. I request them to use their power of imagination. Weak-hearts must 'abstain' from the following. 


"Close your eyes and start imagining. Imagine your own loved ones (if you love someone at all!) Imagine your child, your wife/husband, you parents, your beloved BF or GF, your brother/sister....or anyone you cannot think of your life without. Now imagine going out with him/her. You left him/her for a while to bring say, an ice cream for him/her. Okay? ready?? Now imagine him/her to be suddenly lying in a pool of blood after a loud bang. Your loved one who was just smiling at you has been reduced to a 'mass of flesh and blood'. The hand you were holding minutes ago when you left him/her, the same hand is nowhere to be found with this 'body'.....imagine....imagine and then honestly tell me, would you like to ever be lenient the perpetrator? If you really can, only then you can think about talking like an 'intellectual'. But sorry, you still have no right to be such an 'intellectual'. Even if this is in your capacity to 'forgive and forget', still it may not be the capacity of many. You have no right to advocate the forgiveness of those who destroyed their lives forever! Imagine what happens after you succeed in your campaign. Imagine that you are successful in getting the death penalty abolished. Now get forward in time and imagine the year 2023. Kasab has finished his life sentence....he is a healthy 35 year old ...he goes back to Pakistan...falicitated there...the government of Pakistan gives his crores of rupees as reward....a job...settles his life...projects him as a 'public hero'...Read complete at 'MeraNazaria.com', a part of Newsjyoti group

Declaration: सबसे पहले एक बात मैं स्पष्ट करना चाहूँगा कि इस लेख में मैने कुछ घरों में नारी को मिलने वाली इज़्ज़त की तुलना एक जानवर से की है तो उसका सिर्फ़ और सिर्फ़ एक ही मक़सद है कि उन लोगों की ग़लती सुधारना और इस चलन कापुरज़ोर विरोध करना. अगर हम जैसे लेखक और बुद्धिजीवी इस तरह की स्त्रियों को समान अधिकार दिलवाने की चेष्टा भी नहीं करते तो हमारी तुलना भी बुराई के आगे दुम हिलाने वाले उसी जानवर से की जानी चाहिए, मेरा ऐसा मानना है . This article
is written with due respect towards all the woman in every part of the world.

ऑनर अपने देश में सबके पास है! शर्म हो न हो, ईमान हो न हो, चरित्र हो न हो मगर एक अदद हत्या के लिए ज़रूरी 'ऑनर' आपको ज़्यादातर इंसानों जैसे दिखने वालों में मिल ही जाएगा.यह ज़्यादातर उन जगहों पर पाया जाता है जहाँ लड़की पैदा होती है. लड़की पैदा होते ही घर के माँ, बाप, चाचा, ताऊ, भाई, उनके दोस्त, घर के कुत्ते तक....सब 'ऑनर' वाले बन जाते हैं और उस लड़की के पालनहार ही नहीं, भाग्यविधाता भी हो जाते हैं.ऐसा माहौल बन जाता है जैसे घर में कोई इंसान नहीं, कोई पालतू जानवर पैदा हुआ है. आप समझ गए होंगे किस जानवर की बात कर रहा हूँ मैं! पूरा कसूर उनका भी नहीं है. पैदा होने वाली 90 प्रतीशत कन्याएँ या तो डर से या खुशी से ही, कुछ 'behave' ही इस तरह करती है कि आसपास केघर वालों के भी 'अरमान' जाग जाते हैं और और वो भी अपने घर में एक जीती जागती स्त्री की जगह उसी पालतू जानवर का स्त्रीलिन्ग देखना चाहते हैं, जो सारी उम्र उनके पाँव चाट्ती रहे और .......क्या कहूँ इससे ज़्यादा.....बात बहुत ज़्यादा हैरान करने वाली है. दिल्ली जैसे शहर के पड़ोस में ही नहीं, अब तो अंदर तक ये हो रहा है. लड़की ने जहाँ अपनी मर्ज़ी का जीवन साथी चुना नहीं, बस तय हो गयी दोनों की मौत. ना सिर्फ़ इंसानियत को, बल्कि इस इतने 'ज़बरदस्त' देश के क़ानून तक को भी सरेआम ठेंगा दिखाया जा रहा है राजनेता चुप्प है, मीडीया भौंपू का गला फाड़-फाड़ कर चिल्ला रहा है, और करने वाले अपना काम पूरे 'ऑनर' से निबटाते जा रहे है वोट बैंक की राजनीति ने खाप के खिलीफ़ बोलने का नेताओं का हक़ छीन लिया तो हिम्मतें कुछ इस क़दर बढ़ गयीं कि आज सरेआम कैमरे के सामने आ कर कोई भी, जो वैसे किसी राह चलते कि गाली और धक्का खा कर भी हाथ जोड़ कर आयेज बढ़ जाएगा, ऐसा बहादुर बहुत अंदाज़ से बोल रहा है कि हाँ, हम ऑनर वाले हैं और हमने 2 निहत्थे बेगुनाहों को, जो हम पर भरोसा करते थे,हमको माँ-बाप मानते थे, उनको धोखे से बड़ी बेदर्दी से, बड़ी बेरहमी से,कसाई की तरह काट कर मौत के घाट उतार दिया है, सिर्फ़ इसलिए क्योंकि उन्होने 'हमारी', हम जैसे 'महाराजाधिराज' की इच्छा के विरुद्ध कदम रखने की जुर्रत की थी, और हम तो 'ऑनर' वाले लोग है! तो क्या हुआ अगर हमारे उपर हत्या से लेकर बलात्कार के मामले हैं?! तो क्या हुआ अगर पूरे देश की पुलिस हमारे नौनिहालों के पीछे घूम रही है और उनपर गब्बर सिंग की तरह पूरे 50 हज़ार का ईनाम रखा है.

गए वो वक़्त जब इस देश के माँ-बाप देश की खातिर जान देने और जान लेने वालों पर फख्र महसूस किया करते थे. आजकल तो वो बदकारी, जिसे 'ऑनर' का नाम दिया गया है, उसकी खातिर बेगुनाहों को जानवरों की तरह काट कर आने वालों को सम्मानित करने का रिवाज बनता जा रहा है. इसके लिए क़ानून को बदलने तक की भी आवाज़ें उठ रही हैं. दिन दूर नहीं जब ऐसे लोगों को किसी समारोह में सम्मानित करके कोई मेडल या कोई 'श्री' का सम्मान देने की भी माँग उठेगी! क्यों नहीं, जहाँ देश पर राज करने के लिए चुने हुए राजनेता ही गुनहगारों के आगे मजबूर नज़र आने लग जाएँ वहाँ तो जंगल राज की आवाज़ उठेगी ही. आख़िर यहाँ लोकतंत्र भीड़-तंत्र ही तो है! भीड़ के पास ही वोट है, भीड़ के पास ही राज. भीड़ की ही चलेगी.
