Blacked out Adjournment on Black Money

The man in whose book patriotism is the first chapter. Advani steered an adjournment motion to censure the government on black money issue. BJP could not make it. Congress is so strong in floor that through conventional warfare it can never be defeated; this is evident from no confidence motion of 2008 till today. Government contends that it has treaty obligations and they must be complied and there is no authentic and authoritative information on quantum of black money. While it is natural to believe that the reason for govt. not releasing the names may be it is trying to cover up, who knows? Based on Global financial integrity report 25 lakh crores stashed away in havens. Going back on promises made is the character of GOP and bedrock of its philosophy is to lie. One of the important commitments made by UPA II was to take a concrete action within 100 days of assuming office which is not honored and also no genuine attempt made on that front. We can call this as lying in politics which is akin to the evolving theory of “Lying in international relations” by John J.Mearsheimer.

Whenever situation of adjournment arises, GOP first says no and then call an all party meeting and the meeting would not end the impasse and it would say “ we have agreed to disagree” and then “ok lets go for vote”. By this time it might have prepared its guns through intensive back door diplomacy with the other political parties, on the eventual day it will win the floor vote and the story ends. Though there is no reason for congress to celebrate simply because it has shot down an adjournment motion. But there are more begging questions coming from the other spectrum that what BJP was doing for 6 years, I have been watching many debates and hunting for “The Answer” from bjp for this question but got no convincing answers, Tarun Vijay (BJP) could not simply do it. At the end of the day issue is not resolved. I seriously doubt the intentions of this govt. when it says it cannot release the names which mean this is a time buying tactic. In the mean time it could do whatever it takes to knock off the names from the list which the oligarch does not want to see.

Now the moot question is who are at stake? Ofcourse people. There used to be an age where ruling this vast land was a monopoly activity of a single family, thanks to regional powers else it could have been more pathetic. At the moment the trump card is the Bengal tigress. The whole solar system of ruling tandem revolves around Trinamool. Ms.Banerjee has key to everything now. Like how she forced petrol price roll back, though it was not substantial but proved how she can harm congress. Advani must be seeking her help in such adjournment motions. I don’t know if what I am saying is an attempt to re-invent the wheel or saying something which somebody has somewhere said this already. All congress thinks that it got a breather at the moment. At times I feel that it spends 100% of energy drafting laws. The attitude is for any problem let’s make a law. Another reason could be our financial intelligence shop’s incompetence, and probably that’s why FM says if we release names people with draw money and run away which does not sound like an alibi for not releasing the  names.

We are a developing economy caught in whirlwind of recent shocks and the situation is worsening, falling rupee, negative industrial growth, deficit budget and many other woes. Is it not the right thing to do now ie., to bring back the money which is blacked out. Is it not a common sense to give an assurance with a tangible dead line that our money will be reclaimed? Apparently those stole it must be punished and justice be delivered then ofcourse the country needs to know the names. And without worrying about reputation of greedy mortals the present govt. must release it. For now it can celebrate the defeat of adjournment. Advani could probably say “We will fight another day”.

Lokpal – Will it become a Frankenstein monster and haunt congress?

All of us sudden we have an old man capturing imagination of the country as a Gandhian who fights corrupt elements in government. And it seems that he reasoned it after a long time that only a powerful and independent Lokpal is a panacea to kill the monster of corruption. In first place even if it is an ambitious/optimistic project, it is also a wishful thinking of a person whose probity is unquestionable. It’s agreed that we have been debating this for the past 40 years and for some reason or the other the parliament was unsuccessful to make this a reality. I am neither against nor for Lokpal bill, because unless individual minds are reformed no bill can help improve the situation. Recently I have heard in a television debate that in India we have lakhs of laws and statutes, you name anything we have a statue and a law for that purpose. I always found it unrealistic to cover everything under sun within the ambit of Lokpal. I am sure as there will be a lots of amendments to the Lokpal bill (either it can be government version or Annaji’s version) once it is approved by parliament. The premise for this argument is in India we are strong in drafting laws but not in enforcing them. On the other we are really good at selective application of laws. For example a common citizen enters a police station for a complaint it is not necessary that his complaint will be registered. The comman man is a victim of systematic apathy which is a product of Indian political system.

Anna Hazare existed even before this Lokpal spectacle and his fight against corrupt congress politicians in Maharashtra is notable. The party in power known for its miscalculations always considered Anna Hazare as a non-issue, but not after the collective strength shown on streets. Government suddenly started speaking like a drunken man as it could not handle the situation, firstly it used the notorious loose cannon Digvijay Singh who said that RSS is behind all this and Anna is a mask. Now the begging question “is RSS not eligible to fight corruption” after all they are the true nationalists. Then the individual members of team Anna are targeted. After Anna’s 10+ days of protest the government thought it has no other way but concede and gave the written confirmation that Lokpal will be tabled in the winter session. Anna was always skeptical about congress’s move because given a chance they were ready to backtrack. After all the hue and cry the debate narrowed to three points which in the recent days been debated in every television and print media, i.e., inclusion of prime minister, lower bureaucracy and citizen’s charter under Lokpal. Congress is more worried about the inclusion of prime minister. Why? That will be a million dollar question. And the answer possibly could be it is because of Raul Vinci alias Rahul Gandhi (which is also asserted by Anna himself). Sonia Gandhi wants her son to succeed the PM post because the world knows that current PM is not MMS but SG and MMS is only a mask of Antonio alias Sonia Gandhi. She thinks that bringing PM under Lokpal might hinder future PM’s routine job, the job which congress is doing since bofors or since Nehru joined Congress, I am also talking about partition.

I think the government might have decided to agree for the time being what Anna Inc says and for any future troubles they would go by amending the very bill to their benefit. This is a sure possibility; in that case will Anna go to streets every time the government intends to bend the law? I too know that people can reject the government in elections but the problem is they do not happen frequently, by that time the damage is already done. I don’t know if this is the reason why he said his next battle would be for “right to reject”. Already we are starting to hear disgruntled voices that are feared by this. Any way the feasibility of right to reject still needs to be debated. I know this great man will have a plan for sure once the Lokpal is enacted to deal with emerging situations. Once approved this will be another European product for India. As we know we have borrowed all the current day institutions from Europe and Lokpal is another such institution and I am hopeful that it will serve Indian interests. Congress is really worried that Lokpal might become its Frankenstein monster.

The Darkest Hour of Harvard

Protest note I sent to the president of Harvard University for suspending Dr.Subramanya Swamy's Summer courses

Honorable President,

I am writing this to you on hearing the news that Harvard has removed Dr.Swamy’s summer courses from its roster. The institution which is supposed to be beacon light to the entire world for Right to Expression has put the same in jeopardy and it is disturbing to learn this. Let’s enquire in which way Dr.Swamy’s infringed some one’s right when he wrote an article which has become a reason to suspend his courses. The focal point of his article was that Indian Muslims were targeted by wahabi brand/Jihadist Islam which in a way says “My way or No way” you can either be a believer or Non believer. And it is a known fact that Non-Believers are not entitled to live on this earth. One thing that binds dwellers of Indian Sub-continent is Hinduism which is not only a scientific religion but a way of life. The bloody Muslim invaders converted Hindus to Islam as British converted Hindus to Christianity in its brutal rule. The Wahabi brand is so successful in its strategy of indoctrination that it turned many innocent Muslims to terrorists who are otherwise true patriots. And the effective strategy is to tell populace the truth i.e., everyone in this country is undoubtedly Hindu as supported by DNA genetic studies and everyone should realize that their common ancestry is Hinduism, if once this is realized they would not act against their own country. World looks at elite of Harvard as a bunch of jokers as of now due to its irresponsible act. Another problem with Harvard is like any other educational institution it is infiltrated by leftists and cultural Marxists who want to see the complete destruction of Hindu faith and culture.

Harvard should stop behaving like a world court. If Dr. Swamy writes a lecture in India which is specific to the context and circumstances exist in India and you condemn him in America. There is an allegation that Harvard dancing to the tune India’s GOP expecting favors for FDI in education. Only time will tell us if that is true. When Harvard in its initial response said that it stood by Dr.Swamy’s right to expression it was not a surprise. But later a group of politically inclined members bar his courses virtually keeping him out of Harvard is totally uncalled for and unbecoming of Harvard’s stature. These cultural Marxists and educated illiterates relate Swamy’s comments to Jewish Americans and African Americans accepting the Anglo Saxon Supremacy, how unwitting argument this could be. Dr.Swamy did not ask anybody to accept any one’s supremacy but to realize the fact about their ancestry and not to become a victim of radical Islam and what’s wrong in accepting the truth which is unsullied. The govt. of Saudi Arabia which funds so generously to Harvard propagates gender discrimination though they don’t write articles like Dr.Swamy’s which speaks truth. In a case Harvard should suspend its relations with that senseless state. Women cannot drive cars in that country and the reason is they would loose virginity, as far as I know that no one looses virginity if they drive cars. (http://www.radicalislam.org/analysis/saudi-arabia-%E2%80%93-moderate-voice-or-draconian-monarchy). In this context I would like to quote what Newt Gingirch said - “On the one hand, Harvard accepts money from Saudis. Saudi Arabia, by the way, executes homosexuals. Saudi Arabia represses women. Saudi Arabia does not allow Christians or Jews to practice their religion, but Saudi money is fine”

As you know in France Burqa is banned in public places. Now there are two dimensions to this, narrower and the broader one. On a narrow view mullahs might argue that it is about taking away religious freedom and in a broader view it is saving the state from terrorists. In same way Belgium law makers banned Burqa and Swiss move to ban minarets are backed with different reasons. Now does this mean if someone from French/Belgium/Swiss cabinet seeks admission to Harvard in future, should you deny it? If you deny the admission on this grounds then that will be another darkest hour in the history of Harvard, the first one being suspension of Dr.Swamy’s summer courses on a flimsy ground. I fear you might deny admission to the cabinet members of the mentioned European countries because you have already set an example for your intolerance as an institution. The other way I could see this as a group of people taking Harvard’s reputation to ransom, but as a president you must have intervened.

I was reading a report on the judgment given by Supreme Court of USA on Westboro church case. For all that Westboro church’s activists have done ie. Picketing military funerals with hateful language and offensive gestures such as dragging the American flag on the ground, their constitutional rights have come to their rescue.

Let me quote what chief justice John Roberts told “Speech is powerful. It can stir people to action, move them to tears of both joy and sorrow, and – as it did here – inflict great pain” and he conceded that “On the facts before us, we cannot react to that pain by punishing the speaker.” By an 8 to 1 vote, the Supreme Court affirmed the U.S. right to free speech, even if the speech is that of the Topeka-based Westboro Baptist Church. So your action of suspending Dr. Swamy’s summer courses is against the grain of American constitution and you are not above the U.S constitution. Harvard’s action is highly condemnable as it violates the basic principles of Natural Justice.

With regards,

Congress - Double Standards in Display

There was a large hue and cry when Justice Hegde indicted the former chief minister of Karnataka for his involvement in illegal mining scam. Yes he resigned. BJP just does not have that skill to make large scams of magnitude such as 2G and CWG. The prevalent complaint is indeed Yeddyurapa abused his official powers to benefit few at the cost of state’s exchequer which is definitely an unpatriotic act. It would be naïve if we don’t realize that no political party in this country or for that matter in the whole world is free from corrupt elements. All we can do is, go by the least corrupt party. Within 24 hrs of the release of the lokayukta report on illegal mining action was taken, now that is in a way admirable action taken by the top leadership of BJP. In the same context there were other former CM’s indicted in the report including Kumaraswamy of JDU(S). Congress was up in the arms demanding former CM’s resignation immediately and JDU’s hypocrisy was at display when Kumaraswamy claimed that he is clean though the report was contrary to his assertions. At that time the collective intention was to bring BJP down.

How pity it is when congress does not let go the scam tainted individuals from their posts. Sheila Dixit, Chidambaram and others for example. With respect to Karnataka lokayukta ‘s latest order to file an FIR on SM Krishna, does the GOP of India don’t have commonsense and moral compass to send Krishna out of foreign ministry? What a shame it is. Unperturbed by the FIR Krishna moves to HC of Karnataka to stop the proceedings, a shameful act. I hope the people of this country will give a response in next elections. Lack of people activism is another reason why the corrupt elements flourish in our society. Not to say that we have started slowly through social networking and congress is feared of that development, that’s why the loyal servants of the master are trying out with innovative ways to block the dissent from spreading in web space. If congress wants to do walk the talk first it must relieve itself from the baggage that it is the most corrupt party which Independent India has ever witnessed and it must have the courage to tell the scam tainted/accused individuals to say get out and prove that it is not a party of DOUBLE STANDARDS.

Kapil Sibal – A perfect Stooge of GOP’s Clique

While the whole world knows that the current Indian acting telecom minister for his famous zero loss theory in 2G case, now he also seems to be capable of gagging by his arrogance. His complaint is that in the internet space his master is not presented well. And he wants all the social networking sites to do the pre-screening before content is uploaded. Somebody told me that he was a Harvard educated lawyer, don’t know what he studied. And his efforts to impress up on the oligarch are intensified. I have seen a post in Face book which shows Sonia Gandhi wearing Manmohan Singh’s mask, and many other posts which shows Sonia as real master and MMS as a puppet. People pick up their ways to show dissent in whichever is convenient to them and what is sibal’s problem? And nobody has commited an offence against state. In a liberal democracy freedom of speech and freedom of expression is at the heart of constitutional framework and India is one such country in whose constitution there are clearly stated provisions which are meant to uphold the fundamental rights. Now the GOP plagued with many problems right from BOFORS to 2G, people dissent it to the core. In a knowledge economy like ours subjects do know who the reason is for their suffering and they express their displeasure through a convenient medium, apparently Internet- a social networking site. Only Muslim countries which operate based on medieval laws would go-ahead and ban social networking sites and stone woman for adultery.

 Sibal argues that the content posted is defamatory and the sites must not allow it. Let’s go by the standard definition of defamation – “Defamation is the publication of a statement which reflects on a person’s reputation and tends to lower him in the estimation of right-thinking members of society generally or tends to make them shun or avoid him” – jurisonline.in

Does posting of such contents lower the person’s reputation in the estimation of right-thinking members of society? I don’t think so. On the contrary it confirms the assertions of right-thinking members of the society. The congress is out to destroy this country in every aspect and the majority opposes it. It seems someone from the staff of networking site using common sense asked him to show a court judgment based on which they decide whether a content is defamatory or not. 


I am really thinking if what Dr.Subramanya Swamy is right. Once he said commenting on sibal’s 2g zero loss theory “Sibal has become a yapping dog of Sonia”. Now he seems to be really a yapping dog of Sonia. Recalling the west boro church case (http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/10pdf/09-751.pdf) even when the activists displayed their signs about the dead soldiers in a worst possible way, the Supreme Court stood for west boro church’s fundamental rights and did not pass any strictures. And that should be the guiding principle of a liberal democracy. In this domain we as Indians have to learn a lot from Americans. When a protest is breaking out people burn effigy of a political leader they dislike, is it not defamatory? May be I am not a judge, I think Sibal is. What moral right this govt. has to tell someone to regulate when it cannot regulate itself and going for outright deregulation in every field. Already protests are started in full swing against sibal’s misdemeanor. 


After being victims of GOP’s tyranny for many decades we could see people activism emerging, which means we are improving as a country. And congress’s stooges like sibal cannot restrict it at all. May be congress can try with Emergency-II. I don’t know if Sonia is herself worried about this content posting. All that sibal needs is a chance to prove that he is loyal to the master, instead he should prove that he is loyal to the Mother Land. I don’t know even Indira Gandhi enjoyed such a patronage like Sonia does. Manishankar Aiyar once said that people who go to Akbar road(Congress party head quarters) as people going to circus and the power lies in 10, Janpath road. Until the real democracy functions people will continue to show their dissent and nobody can stop it. It’s time for yapping dogs to realize that we are not living in a feudal society.

The Leftist Nonsense

We could trace the origin of the word “left” to the days of French revolution which coined the terms left and right. In the estate generals meeting hall who ever sat on left was for more egalitarian society and the right wanted to retain the old traditions. I think this was necessary as the conditions which triggered the French revolution were demanding such approaches like an organized and a systematic revolution to bring about a change. I know many scholars have argued about the ubiquitous guillotine invented to eliminate those not favoring the left. Thousands perished but still the hard-line leftist’s call that is the best way out. The right might have had wrong intentions but the approach was not bad when compared to the left. Right never wanted to consider killing people as a solution. Then we had industrial revolution where the owners of factories were exploiting the workers and the messiah – The Marx fell from sky on the earth to lobby for them which was good and he had good intentions to improve the lives of proletariat. The frequently asked question is whether the ways prescribed by Marx become a panacea for the whole world today which was more relevant when discovered by Marx to the unique conditions of fledgling industrial revolution. In his theory Marx did have a reference which says the communism could evolve to the changing times and that could be called as dialecticism, which was never applied to the spirit of its original meaning and this was also used as justification for misdeeds of greedy dictators akin to Joseph Stalin. It is ludicrous to listen the leftists when they talk about the classless society, this is simply not possible. How come a software engineer and Kooli could earn the same salary hence classes in society is inevitable and I am not talking about the race when I utter the word class. I know people like Mao dreamt about exporting the revolution throughout the world which is certainly idiotic and unrealistic. As we have exceptions in everything in this world there is only one Fidel Castro and not many and we can count few in Latin America and not many. But we have many terrible examples starting from the Khmer rouge to Pinchot all killed people and were parties who committed genocide. And North Korea’s collective madness is another example. If left’s only enemy is market economy then they are really naïve because we don’t have many success stories of state controlled economies including the super power USSSR then what is their real problem ? Coming back to original purpose of this note ie., consider the situation of left in India and how it affects India’s growth. Firstly we have many noted pseudo-intellectuals who are well qualified with relevant degrees but do not realize that they live in a nation state era and national unity and nationalism is of utmost priority then their unrealistic goals which they tend to achieve through communism. And the left in India is necessarily is a victim of china obsession.

Its congress’s misrule which lead to bad state of affairs in this country where Indian flag is burnt by the Muslim fanatics but nobody does anything about it – I think the Indian Flag Code does not apply. I shall say that this grand old party of India did re-discover the word “secularism “and manipulated that concept according to its whims and fancies. In India secularism is generally propagated by leftist media and the congress as Anti-Hindu. If someone talks Anti-Hindu he is secular, what a pity. In his words of the noted internationally acclaimed intellectual Dr.Subramaniya Swami “Congress always wanted to rule this country with coalition of minorities”.

Now the question arises how the right wing differs with lofty left. In our country all those who propagate nationalism and talks about the Hinduism are called right wing (fundamental right wing – in their words of many pseudo-intellectual leftists). Now what is wrong if I want to save my country’s inherent culture? May be the fierce full nationalists may not agree with the nomenclature – right wing, because for them it simply does not matter. As Aristotle asserted man is a political animal, we shall deduce that the right, left and centre are merely ways through which people can realize their dreams which are essentially political. It is a fact that the communism literature has produced people like Bhagat Singh – listening to his name the blood rushes through my veins. And also it has produced nationalists like Harkishan Singh Surjit – To write about his patriotism it could be a topic of another book.

As already mentioned the current state of left in India is such that they are victims of Chinese obsession. And they term the Chinese aggression not as a belligerent action but an act to liberate India from capitalism, what a ridiculous approach it is. Now all the wrongs committed by the left throughout the world can be justified under the shelter of dialecticism which is highly controversial because different personal tyrannies have different explanations. The Cambodian killings can be justified by the Khmer Rouge and so is the case of Stalin in Russia.

We shall recall Fidel Castro who is an exception. And exceptions cannot be examples or precedents. The major problem is it’s obsession with proletariat and it’s bankruptcy of ideologue and imagination. The left thinks that India is still facing the situation of Indigo growing farmers during the regime of the police state.

Going by what people think about the left in India can be seen by its representation in parliament and legislatures. Now a long time ruled state like West Bengal has already disowned the left. It survives in the circle of few educated elite. There is really a grim chance of survival for left in India if it does not change and drop its china obsession. We have few left leaning newspapers in India who justify anything and everything done by China from Tianmen to the Tibet’s Peaceful Uprising. And the other common selling point for left is communalism and referring it to Hindus. It calls secular Christian and Muslim organizations and communal Hindu organizations. It cannot tolerate the India’s marriage with USA and in its understanding it is an imperial force which may be true but that is not the point. The China is itself moved away from the Maoist thinking and now works hand in hand with US on many global issues.

To conclude the left must change its attitude and develop positive approach and stop thinking of importing revolutions and not to propagate the divide else it is set to lose the confidence of Tripura too.
