<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
I have recently
come across a friend’s reaction for my blog on ongoing Kashmir issue. He has a
completely delusional and contrived position about the issue which extends to
supporting violence. He didn’t mention my name but I have mentioned his, which
is Puneeth Reddy Mandadi, instead of calling him an unemployed engineer and a
Civil Services aspirant. I would appreciate if he acknowledges me the next
time. In the light of him wanting to serve us all, there is a duty on us to
enlighten him because, we are definitely not ready for sympathizers of violence
and people who degrade their own mother land for petty reasons to be our
servants. </div>

<span style="background: white; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Firstly, it’s difficult to understand half baked and improper
sentences. In my post I have clearly stated with utmost clarity that I don’t
support stone pelters, be it for reasons as serious as the issue in Kashmir or
as trivial as a University protest. There are different forms of protest, but
this way of protest which is violent has consequences and that is pellet shots.

Whatever is the demand, using violent means to protest is not something that is
permitted under the law of any land in the world we live in. Therefore I don’t sympathize
or empathize with stone pelters. </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">Your views of </span><span style="line-height: 24px;">sympathizing</span><span style="line-height: 150%;"> with these pelters are highly
alarming in the light of your Civils aspirations and your views can be considered
as borderline naxalism.</span></span></div>

of this statement is not lost on all of you because our friend here just
equated Telangana with Kashmir. </span></span><span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Kashmir moment
has for long camouflaged itself as a regional issue in the guise of a secessionist
moment. It is in last 10 years that this
secession moment has turned into a moment with extreme religious views. As I am
sure you are all aware with all your attempts of preparing for Civils, a
religious moment can never be compared with a regional moment. Religion is a veneer
which can often degrade into lowest form of depravity like ISIS and Taliban. A
movement within the framework of existing laws and moments outside that
framework have severe levels of barriers separating each other. Therefore, your
reference to Telangana moment (to which your Grandfather devoted most of his life)
is an insult to the people’s movement of Telangana. This moment to create a
separate Telangana was within the framework of our Constitution and the young
people who fought for it had utmost faith in the system of this country unlike
the people you want to get into bed with. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;">The
Telangana moment was one of those rare occurrences in the modern history of
this country which touched every soul. A woman living opposite to our house has
expressed her support to this moment by including the slogan of Jai Telangana
in her rangoli. This moment has influenced such women who are usually </span><span style="line-height: 24px;">skeptical</span><span style="line-height: 150%;"> about politics. I assure you that there is no other moment equivalent to this
in the post independent India other than the fight against the emergency which
has touched so many people from every walk of life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">So
please, whatever be the reason for your post to challenge me, which is legitimate,
please do not bring in your personal prejudices, whatever they may be and
against whomever they may be and do not insult “Mother Telanagna” by degrading
it to a level where you compare it with Kashmir which is a moment against this
country and against whatever we stand for. Being a Telangana bidda have some regard
for the land that you were born in. Don’t ever compare this great moment which
adhered to the principles of Constitution and ethos of our law to a moment that
is masquerading as struggle. <span class="textexposedshow"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

just stop from comparing two incomparable examples but even goes a step ahead
and seeks sympathy for those young Indians who pick up arms or should I say
stones against the nation which injure security forces. May be, our friend here
lives in his own illusions where pelting stones and rebelling against your
nation is permissible and also sympathized. The bottom line is that only a
moron justifies an oxymoron. For stone pelting please refer to my first explanation.

and also to plain English. I stated that
Kashmiri Muslims borrowed this great art of throwing stones from their brothers
and sisters in Palestine. As far as English language is concerned that is where
the comparison ends. I have no doubt as to the validity of that assertion. Our
friend here is most certainly has his limitations when it comes to the matters
of common sense. The only thing I equated between Kashmiri Muslims and
Palestine Muslims is the connection forged by stone pelting, which also happens
to be an irrefutable point. First he thinks quoting a fact is funny and
secondly, he also thinks that it makes me Islamophobic. Well, my dear just
quoting an example of a Muslim population belonging to a region doesn’t make Islamophobic,
hating them and not wanting their existence would make me one. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 150%;">You
know what; you got two things right with this one line, the grammar and its
support to my entire argument. I see that you have got a lot of things jumbled
up here from equating stone pelting to empathy and to then again indulge in a delusion
that violence has to be addressed with inaction. As far as I understand the Constitution
of India, it stands against violence and secession. However, what you wrote now does not have any
bearing to your initial gems of wisdom because, where violence is </span><span style="line-height: 24px;">sympathized</span><span style="line-height: 150%;"> and </span><span style="line-height: 24px;">empathized</span><span style="line-height: 150%;">.

<span style="background: white; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Dear Puneeth, in India power is always consolidated on
peoples will which they express through the ballot. India as well as Jammu
& Kashmir have both expressed their will in the recent elections and that
has bestowed the government legitimate power to impose curfew and to repel
violence of stone pelters by using whatever means necessary. Thankfully it does
not include pacifying anti India elements. If you have imagined some other
process of consolidating power then you should urgently find a country that
follows a system of your delusions because here we believe in the will of
people. As I see that you have a
fascination for the word crushing,</span><b><span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">
</span></b><span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">it is you who is crushing us with these extremely poor and
dim-witted statements more than anything or anybody.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #222222; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">On 17 January 2016, 27-year-old PhD. scholar
Rohith Vemula committed suicide at the University of Hyderabad campus.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>We all know how the events unfolded
after this incident. This matter is back in news with a one member panel constituted
BY MHRD submitting its report on the incident. This made me reflect back on the whole
incident and I could only draw one conclusion out of it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

<b><i><span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“<span style="background: white;">Let me put it
bluntly</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background: white;"> </span><span style="background: white;">– For a guy
who was also an activist, often in conflicts, to be committing suicide for
merely being thrown out of the University hostel<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span>is nothing short of cowardice”.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b></div>

<span style="background: white; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Instead of being a coward, Rohith should have learnt from his
idol Dr BR Ambedkar. Despite being exceptionally talented, even Ambedkar had to
undergo discrimination and humiliation before emerging as the icon for
independent India.</span> There are often these “<b>poetic</b>”
gathering of morons at campuses who refer to themselves as Ambedkarites. <b><i>T</i></b><i><b>he
only thing these morons accomplish is sloganeering, this is because, unlike our
inspirational Ambedkar, who put in his sweat and blood for the causes he
believed in, these delusional poets only dream.<o:p></o:p></b></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

<span style="background: white; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">In his suicide note, Rohith requests his pending seven months
scholarship of Rs 175000 to be given to his family</span>. This is one more gem
of a line as it teaches an important lesson of life. <b><i>“One should work hard on helping
and changing his/her own family conditions before taking a plunge into solving
world’s problems”.</i></b> When you don’t even understand this basic covenant
of existence, well, you are doomed from the start. There is no perfect example
to prove this than the Rohith episode. If he was a pragmatist instead of being a
coward, he would have thought about his family, especially mother, who
struggled poverty and social discrimination to ensure a good education for him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

<span style="background: white; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Even after 67 years of Independence there are class
differences and caste discrimination but we should ‘Love our Nation'. If you
are a Muslim, it is better to not get into an argument with a Hindu and if you
are a Dalit, never look at any Savarna personh eye-to-eye. All this might
trigger massive communal violence. ‘Independence Day Greetings!'. You should
love your country and your love for the country is gauged with your hatred for
other countries. Just curse a fellow Pakistani and you will be regarded as
nationalist,” reads Rohits post on August 15, 2013.</span> This establishes one
thing beyond reasonable doubt, which is the idiom <b><i>“Easier said than done”. </i></b>If
he was man of actions, <i><b>learning from his icon Ambedkar, who fought poverty and
social discrimination to ensure equality, Rohith Vemula should have preferred
to fight the system instead of quitting. </b></i><o:p></o:p></div>

and media pimps run to Hyderabad to scavenge over his dead body and engineer a
national calamity by calling it “murder” and “murder of democracy”.
Some of them went till the extent of glorifying suicide and immortalising a
coward who took his life instead of fighting for what he believed. The media
should stop being Jaundiced and prejudiced against anything that does not suit
their sick agenda, because, there were tons of such suicides and never
did the media romanticize so much with them. The one thing that media and Rohith Vemula family should remember here is, <b><i>no mother in this country would want her
child to give up without a fight like Rohith did and all they would remember him
for would be his cowardice. </i></b><b><i><span style="background: white; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>

program in India Today. Here, Rajdeep Sardesai moderated a discussion in India
Today channel, where the panel of eight </span><span style="line-height: 24px;">panelists</span><span style="line-height: 150%;"> from different walks of life
were rating the Prime Minister’s speech.
As the moderator started dwelling into various parts of the speech, he
says “should the Prime Minister have addressed the ongoing unrest in Kashmir”.
Yogendra Yadav of Swaraj Abhiyan, who the moderator claims is a man in touch
with ground realities of this nation, makes a bold statement that the Prime
Minister should have at least spoken about the situation in Kashmir as they
were in need of a “healing touch”. This
statement which was supported by the congress </span><span style="line-height: 24px;">panelist</span><span style="line-height: 150%;"> got me thinking on few things,
which I shall list out now.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: -18pt;"><i><span style="background: white; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></i></b></div>

<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white;">I have no doubt that
the Kashmiri terrorist Burhan Wani, whose death has triggered these events, was
hunted down and killed by our security forces. This event in any other part of
the country would evoke appreciation and respect for our armed forces. But in
our Kashmir valley these incidents make our beloved citizens teary eyed. T</span>he Kashmir Valley is thus no stranger
to the emotional roller coaster ride of public opinion. The current unrest is
thus no different from its several earlier avatars like the 2010 agitation. The
mourners in the valley chant '<em>azadi</em>'
(freedom) in the funeral of the terrorist; in effect they want an independent
Kashmir valley! The absurdity of this should not be lost here, as these
are a group of people who think they are wronged by history and they refuse to
move on. But one thing these people forget about is that rest of their
countrymen have been wronged by history at some point or other, but they have
moved on from sulking and whining to the path of economic progress. So, I don’t
think they need any healing touch for their absurdity. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
As is tradition with Kashmiri muslims, the first thing they
resort to is riot and use their best form of weaponry – Stones! <span style="background: white;">It’s a form of rioting borrowed from their brothers
and sisters in Palestine in what is called “</span>Intifada”. And everybody joins in and it is a lot more dangerous on Fridays. This
exact scenario has been playing in the valley for more than a month now. But this
time there have been other dimensions to this stone-pelting business. From
behind kids and young men,<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>there were rioters who were throwing grenades
at our jawans. That is stretching it beyond tolerance. And rightfully, the jawans shot
metal pellets at the rioters that caused injuries to many, some of them
serious. One shouldn’t expect to continuously throw stones and grenades and
expect to be greeted with flowers and appreciation. Can you imagine the
situation where stone pelters have to be sympathised with and what consequences
such an act of sympathy would lead to? It would encourage people in rest of the
country to throw stones for fulfilling their demands, which would create chaos
and affect the rule of law in the country. Finally, what these people deserve
is swift justice and not a wave of sympathy. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
Yes, it certainly does but that is for
our jawans and security forces. This is because, we <span style="background: white; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">would rather see a dozen Wanis and pelters
killed outright than even have ONE of our jawans even injured</span><span style="background: white;">.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background: white;"> </span>Our heart doesn’t bleed for
people as, </span>the first and most important
point about the current unrest is the limited nature of its geographic spread. The
unrest and violence is confined to the Kashmir valley with not a squeak from
the Jammu, Kargil and Ladakh divisions. It is clear that the separatists and
their followers have no support in the rest of J&K. It is bogus for them to
claim to be talking of J&K and its future. If there is something
that these recent events have uncovered, then it is undoubtedly the idea of
secession based on extremist religious identity. India is home to all the
world's religions and over 180 million Muslims. If 180 million Muslims can be
part of India, what is the basis on which the 4 or 5 million Muslims in the
Kashmir Valley wish to secede? Everybody in this country including us
should set the record straight and equivocally make it clear to our fellow
citizens of the valley that Indian Constitution gives all the fundamental
rights to its citizens, including Kashmiri’s, and thus we reject the demands
for secession based on religious identity and our hearts don’t bleed for stone
pelters and secessionists. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; line-height: 150%;">In conclusion, what our liberal, communist media and
civil society should realize is that there is a sea of other people in this
country whose voices and problems deserve the nation’s attention rather than
our stone pelting Kashmiri citizens who have no regard for what they have been
given. These other people belonging to host of other states are law abiding
citizens whose problems and concerns go unanswered because our media and
activists are so engaged in providing healing touch to law breakers, stone
pelters and terrorist sympathizers of the Kashmir valley. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="right" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: right;">
-Manoj
Reddy.K</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
The Supreme
Court judgment on 16 October has declared two things without any further room
for doubt. First, it has held the National Judicial Appointment Commission
(NJAC) which was brought into force by the 99 amendment as unconstitutional.
Second, by arriving at such conclusion few of the reasoning’s given by the
majority of the bench reaffirm that Supreme Court of India considers itself to
be “holier than thou” in respect to other institutions like Civil society and
parliament.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<b>On Civil Society: <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
Firstly, the
distaste of the apex court on the civil society with respect to them playing a
major role in the appointment process is evident from what Justice Khehar
writes in his majority judgment. He writes that it is difficult to repose faith
and confidence in the civil society at the present juncture for a simple reason
that it is not sufficiently motivated to act in deterrent to the political
executive establishment. The only purpose such argument serves is their own
purpose of being self anointed saviors of the democracy and its basic
structure.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
Secondly, the
veto power given to the eminent persons ensures a system of checks and balances
by ensuring that tyranny of majority does not affect the process of
appointments and also brings in a shared sense of responsibility. The Supreme
Court would have used the tools at its disposal to enumerate proper guidelines
that would have to be followed by the panel for selection of such eminent members.
But instead the court has decided to throw the baby away with bathwater which
only assures of its self promoting interests.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<b>On Government:<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
Firstly, it is
the conclusion of the court that the inclusion of Law minister in the
appointment process vitiates the separation of powers and independence of the
judiciary. The court has reached this conclusion by arguing that the biggest
litigator cannot be made a part of the process of selection as it amounts to
erosion of the independence of the judiciary. This reasoning is a flawed one as
the government rarely has any personal interest in the litigation or its
outcome barring very minimal cases of political importance. The outcome of such
litigation does not have any bearing whatsoever on the concerned minister or a
bureaucrat. It is a figment of court’s imagination that every litigation
involving the govt makes the person in charge an interested party. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
Secondly, the
court in its reasoning for disagreeing with the inclusion of Law minister have
warned us off adverse consequences of politicians being a part of the selection
process. Through this logic it clearly makes its contempt and mistrust on the
elected representatives evident by conveniently ignoring the fact that it is
they who represent the will of the people which is sovereign in a democracy.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
Thirdly, Justice
Lokur in his opinion has even ventured to an extent that he has opined that the
executive which means any dispensation at the centre, might have objections
with the sexual orientation of a person being considered for appointment.
Whereas the chief justice of India would not consider such facts to impair a
person’s ability to discharge functions that are bestowed on him. This shows the hypocrisy of the court as it
was the same court with its conservative anarchic mindset has championed the
cause of Section 377 of Indian Penal Code which criminalizes sex against order
of nature against the judgement of Delhi High Court which struck it down. It
also goes to show in what esteem it holds the government as the present
executive means the government of the day. This goes on to show the mistrust of
judiciary with other organs of the constitution with whom it was envisaged to
coexist but not to usurp their domain and judge them.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<b>On Politicians:<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
The reasoning of
the court with respect to ensuring independence of judiciary has been rooted in
characterizing politicians as the nemesis to the idea of protecting and
ensuring an independent judiciary. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
The Court has
sequentially portrayed itself to be the guardian and protector of democracy and
democratic values in India. This can be noted from Justice Khehar’s majority
judgement where he has quoted the remarks of L.KAdvani with respect to forces
that could crush democracy being active and supported the same with the incidents
pertaining to resignations of governors with respect to which he stated that
one wonders whether all these were voluntary. The construction of this premise
of forces crushing democracy and quoting incidents with respect to governors
goes onto show how the court has established itself as a champion and
politicians as characters in negative roles.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
It is the court
which has ventured into happenings like resignations of civil servants and
other person holding high positions in institutions of significance and by
linking them to the comments made by Advani it is the judiciary which clearly
and cleverly tried to malign the image of the government by connecting it to
those incidents by stating that it reflects the spoils system.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
On a parting
note the court has acted as a one man army for the cause of ensuring protection
of independence of judiciary by undermining and ignoring some important
covenants of our democracy like the elected government which represents the
will of the sovereign and the executive. The one essential inference that court
failed to draw because of its holier than thou attitude is that it was the will
of an unanimous parliament and 20 state assemblies which represent the wishes
of Indian public that they no longer trusted the judiciary alone to appoint its
own brethren and that is primarily why they did not envisage for judicial
primacy in the NJAC. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Under observation, we are less
free. Which means we are effectively less free. The body of people that are
being observed here is the politicians and their corruption. The system
observing them is the judiciary of India. Though surveillance is a curtailment
of individual’s liberty, it becomes a necessary evil in the case of
politicians. Following the recent judicial trends, the judgments in fodder scam
(Lalu Prasad yadav), Teacher recruitment scam (O.P.Chauthala), Disproportionate
assets scam (J. Jayalaitha) proves that nobody whether a regional satrap or a
national player can get away from the ever watchful eyes of omnipotent and
omnipresent judiciary of India.<o:p></o:p></div>

Now taking a look at the
politicians who are undergoing trial or are a part of a scandal or scam that

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
For all the above, and many
around what I’m talking is “Faith” in judiciary. And their faith shall be
affirmed just like in the case of their colleague’s Lalu Yadav or Jayalalitha’s
has been affirmed and upheld when they were convicted for their involvement in
their respective scams.<o:p></o:p></div>

A fine fact that should be elucidated
from these trends is “Justice is delayed but not denied”. It is only a matter
of time before these cases under investigation will reach their legal end. It’s
not the number of convictions that matter, but it is the faith of the people
that judiciary upholds and gives them a guarantee that guardian of their rights
is watching over people who try to wrong them. <o:p></o:p></div>

</ul>
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 115%;">Modi has established full control of both the government and his party by having Amit
Shah appointed as BJP President. Amit Shah is there because he understands Modi
like no one else does. Such is the nature of their relationship that Shah
possibly sees himself as Modi's alter ego in many respects. Modi has stood by
Amit Shah through his worst travails in Gujarat when the latter was arrested
and put in jail in the Sohrabuddin fake encounter killing case. Modi
rehabilitated Shah after his release from prison on bail and later gave him the
responsibility of managing UP in the general elections. Shah had proved his
skills in Gujarat at managing assembly victories with small percentage vote
shifts. The UP election outcome pitchforked Amit Shah to another league
altogether as an organisation man.The </span><span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">Gujarat politician</span><span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 115%;"> is looking at a bigger
political challenge: engineering a BJP win in state assembly elections this
year. For that, he may go for a complete overhaul of the party and bring in a
new team of younger leaders, both at the centre and in the states. By which he seeks to create an entire new generation of leadership based on the ideology of Modi and who would take his vision forward when the time comes. </span></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">In this mission, Shah would give his best shot at overpowering all the rivals from within and outside. He, </span><span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">with</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> this </span><span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">successfully</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> will establish the Modi supremacy and also create a force that could carry his legacy forward.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This day marks an end to the longest general election ever conducted in India and probably across the globe. Along with that after watching one of the last interviews of Narendra Modi this election season, makes me sad that a historic campaign has reached its conclusion. In every sense of the word the campaign of Modi for BJP has been nothing but historical from the rally of ex servicemen in Rewari to the road show of Varanasi. It has been an amazing journey into the politics which was as thrilling as a Tarantino's movie and as intriguing as watching The Matrix. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
After the conclusion of these elections i feel a great sense of pride and fulfillment for believing in the "Right" party and a right candidate for the country. Every speech, every rally , every meeting and every interview Modi has shown same vision , strength, objectivity and a proper perspective and guts in answering every question asked by media , majority of whom are hostile towards him and yet there are no flaws. The speeches the approach and the style was so understandable and clear that it reaches the heart of a common man with no difficulty. There should be no two ways in accepting that this campaign and this man have touched and reached out to millions of people and created awareness about issues in some form or other. This is one campaign that was shouldered by one single man whose responsibility was nothing less than that of "Neo", the chosen one in Matrix, who has put in sweat and blood into the campaign and in infusing the cadre as well as the masses with energy. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It has been an absolute pleasure following these elections and what makes them a "Blockbuster" success is the campaign of Narendra Modi. Be it the remarks like "Shehzada", "Maa Bete Ki Sarkar", "Recounting Minister", or my favourite remark of Modi "AK49" which is aimed at the man who is always in hurry without a plan i.e. Arvind Kejriwal which have been added in a right proportion to the issues. The campaign was never off the track or out of focus and its been a fascinating game of power. This is Modi politics at its very best. Thank you, Narendra Modi.</div>

the quote otherwise, i have no reservations to state that this great nation of
ours would never have had any formidable opposition to the party
(Congress) that has held the ruling
mantle of this great democracy most of the times and the only time a government
successfully functioned and operated was the NDA government led by the
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) which was catapulted to success by Advani who was
instrumental in forming such grand alliance of various parties and electing his
longtime friend and colleague A.B.Vajpayee as the prime minister of the
government that was the first true alternative to the Congress whose evidence
is the longevity of that government and the tasks it has accomplished in that
period.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the long and illustrious career of Advani. This virtue which is now a rarity in
the political landscape of India was always an integral part of Advani's
career, the best example of his honesty for me is his leading by example when
he resigned and vowed never to contest any polls till he was cleared in the
Jain Hawala Case where his name surfaced in a dairy entry. This was a man who
stood upto what he said and has contested and led a poll only after being
exonerated by the judiciary. This was the honesty that this man had which we
wish all the leaders and politicians take a cue from.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

be a successful leader. This quality has always been an important factor in
differentiating between the leaders and non-leaders. Advani in his long career
beginning from a pracharak till becoming the patriarch of a party was always
vocal in communicating the objectives and his thoughts about the task at hand.
The best depiction of this is the first yatra undertaken by Advani i.e. the Ram
Rath Yatra whose success was evident from the impact that it has created on the
politics of India and which acted as a catalyst in the phoenix like rise of BJP
in that decade. The success of this yatra was mainly due to the right
communication by Advani which struck a chord with the public who could
understand the objectives and purpose of the yatra. The role of a leader that
Advani played in undertaking this yatra is undoubtedly one of the most profilic
leadership acts undertaken by a politician who was hugely successful in
attaining his objectives to which the aftermath success that BJP has had is a
proof. The main reason of this success is communication skill that he had.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

even starting. This is one of the most important qualities that a leader should
possess. Advani in building BJP has instilled confidence in all of their cadres
at various stages of the party’s growth and at numerous occasions where
inspiring and leading with confidence was necessary. One such ocassion was when
he took the baton of president ship from Atalji in 1986 as it was a challenge for him to lead
the party as it has secured only two seats in the elections concluded before
two years where the government of congress had the highest ever majority so far
in India's democracy. In such times Advani was successful to a great extent in
establishing BJP as a cadre based mass party with his leadership abilities and
his unflinching hard work and efforts. He has inspired confidence in their
cadres as well as the people by various activities that the party has
undertaken which were instrumental in helping them bounce back with great
vigor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

constant even in politics. Change is inevitable and being creative in the turn
of a change process is key to success. The political creativity of Advani is
one of such qualities that differentiates him from other leaders and
politicians. This can be observed from the events of his life where he has
displayed this quality from starting a Rath yatra to managing a coalition of
almost 23 parties successfully. This quality of his has helped him in being a
leader who understood the need of the day. His ability to be creative and to
change according to times can be clearly seen from the way he presents his
views on wide array of topics through his blogs which he has continuously been
writing for over three years now being in his eighties. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

principles" is one amongst the seven social sins. Advani is a politician
whose life is an example for the commitment that he has had for principles and
he has always held them high in his political career spanning more than four
decades. His commitment for the cause of nation’s development and his
commitment of being a true patriot can be shown from his political career which
he has started in 1952 spanning over a period of 62 years the party to which he
belonged was in power for a period of 9 years in total. This leaves us with a
conclusion that the rest of the 53 years are spent in opposition and strengthening
his party brick to brick. This is one of the greatest qualities that he as a
leader has for whom staying in power by means whatsoever is not the purpose. In
politics power has always been the greatest incentive for one but to this man
his unswerving purpose of serving his mother land has been the incentive since
the time he has begun his political career. Dedicating his whole life since the
young age of 14 for being in the service of his country shows the commitment
that he has as a leader.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

grateful for showing that congress is not invincible and this country can have
a formidable opposition to congress. He is due to contest in the 16<sup>th</sup>
lok sabha elections, where his victory is certain. He shall be a guide and guru
for the next government under the leadership of Narendra Modi and continue to

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Fundamentalism
is a word that is being used very frequently in the media that one can hardly
read a newspaper or a magazine or even watch a news program or a debate which doesn't use the word fundamentalist. With the advent of Narendra Modi of BJP into
national polotics the debate of Hindu fundamentalism has gained momentum. To
determine the question with which the post has started we shall examine what
fundamentalism stands for and whether such characteristics are applicable to a
Hindu by nature.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Fundamentalism
is an easily distinguishable phenomenon in religions like Christianity and
Islam that have a simple and exclusive pattern to their faith. They generally
insist that there is only One God, who has only one Son or final Prophet, and
only one true scripture, which is literally God's word. They hold that belief
in this One God and his chief representative brings salvation in an eternal
heaven and disbelief causes condemnation to an eternal hell. Muslims daily
chant "there is no God but Allah and Mohammed is his (last) prophet."
Most Christians, whether Catholic or Protestant, regard belief in Christ as
one's personal savior as the only true way to salvation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Fundamentalists
hold rigidly to their beliefs and insist that since their religion alone is
true, the other religions should not be tolerated, particularly in the lands
where members of their religion are in a majority. Fundamentalists generally
hold to their religion's older social customs and refuse to integrate into the
broader stream of modern society, which recognizes freedom of religious belief.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">While
coming to the phrase coined by media in India and abroad i.e. Hindu Fundamentalism,
using such a term merely assumes that there is Hindu fundamentalism but what is
the basis for it? Are the Hindu beliefs of the same order like those of Christianity
and Islam? Hindus have no monolithic structure of faith or worship with a set
of beliefs and rules for all those who follow Hinduism and which can be turned
into fundamentalism.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

fundamentalists consider that Islam is the only true religion, that no true new
faith can be established after Islam and that with the advent of Islam all
previous faiths, even if they were valid up to that time, became outdated.
Christian fundamentalists hold that Christianity alone is true. Even orthodox
people in these traditions may hold these views.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">For
those who speak of Hindu fundamentalism, we must ask the question: What One God
do Hindu fundamentalist groups insist upon as the only true God, and which Gods
are they claiming are false except for Him? If Hindus are not insisting upon
the sole reality of the One Hindu God can they be called fundamentalists like
the Christians and Muslims? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Hindus
are not of one faith only. They are divided into Shaivites (those who worship Shiva),
Vaishnavas (those who worship Vishnu), Shaktas (those who worship the Goddess),
Ganapatas (those who worship Ganesh), Smartas, and a number of other groups
that are constantly being revised relative to modern preachers around whom new
movements may be founded (like the Swami Narayan movement, the
Ramakrishna-Vivekananda groups, or the followers of Sri Aurobindo). What common
belief can be found in all these groups that constitutes Hindu fundamentalism?
What common Hindu fundamentalist platform does the different sets of Hinduism
share? Is it a Shaivite, Vaishnava, or other type of fundamentalism? How do
such diverse groups maintain their harmony and identity under the Hindu
fundamentalist banner? While one can make a code of belief for Christian or
Islamic fundamentalism, what code of belief applies to Hindu fundamentalism of
all different sets?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">No
Hindus including so-called Hindu fundamentalists insist that there is only one
true faith called Hinduism and that all other faiths are false. Hindus have
many holy books like the Vedas, Agamas, Bhagavad Gita, Ramayana, and so on,
which contain a great variety of teaching and many different points of view,
and no one of these books is required reading for all Hindus. What single holy
book do Hindu fundamentalists hold literally to be the word of God, upon which
they base their behavior? Christian and Islamic fundamentalists flaunt their
holy book and are ever quoting from it to justify their actions. What Hindu
Bible are the Hindu fundamentalists all crying, quoting, and preaching from and
finding justification in?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Fundamentalists
are usually seeking to return to the social order and customs of some ideal
religious era of a previous age. Fundamentalists often insist upon returning to
some traditional law code like the Islamic Shariah or Biblical model of justice
and humanitarianism. This is evident from the latest happenings in Pakistan
where the fundamentalists are forcing the government to model their laws on
their fundamentalist customs which would set the country in a downward spiral.
What law code are Hindu fundamentalists seeking to reestablish? Which Hindu
groups are agitating for the return of the law code of the Manu Smriti.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Hindus
and organizations like RSS and political party like BJP are labelled
fundamentalists for wanting to retake a few of their old holy places, like
Ayodhya, of the many thousands destroyed during centuries of foreign
domination. Several Hindu groups are united around this cause. This, however,
is an issue-oriented movement, not the manifestation of a monolithic
fundamentalism. It is a unification of diverse groups to achieve a common end,
not the product of a uniform belief system.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Hindus
are called fundamentalists for organizing themselves into organizations like
RSS VHP, which are branded as fundamentalists by the media and political leaders whereas
no one calls Muslim organizations or parties politically motivated or
fundamentalists in their approach. There is no conviction or evidence against
the organizations like RSS or a party like BJP in any case whatsoever regarding
all the allegations made by media and their political opponents who wants to
appease Muslims and Christians for their vote bank by making such baseless
allegations and trying to brand them as Hindu fundamentalists.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Is
there any Hindu leader who is a fundamentalist who tried to eliminate all other
beliefs from the land or tried to force Hinduism upon all other religions by
waging a war? Does any of the so called fundamental Hindu organizations and parties
provide for such a model? If there is no such model then on what is the theory
of saffron terror based upon? It is
based upon the illusions of the ruling party and all other moronic parties
whose survival depends on appeasement of Muslims and Christians.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Being
morons themselves the media and all parties like congress and its fellow
moronic parties should be in a better position to understand this that Hindu
fundamentalism is an oxymoron along with their newly created phrase of saffron
terror. Calling a Hindu fundamentalist and associating the color saffron with
terror only makes them look for what they are i.e. morons.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">The
question with which we started can be affirmatively answered after the
discussion that a Hindu by nature cannot be a fundamentalist.</span></div>

A Cynic's view on classroom GROUPS</h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
A group is a representation of
your thoughts, fears, feelings, strengths and insecurities. The reason of its
existence is the depiction of one’s own feelings thoughts and ideas with much
more strength and conviction due to the sheer advantage of number of people
backing your stupidity or brilliance which is up to the situation to decide. It
creates a sense of support, as backing your stupidity even when your idea takes
a beating, can only be done when you are primarily successful in having a group
of your own which is completely shadowed by your own individual experiences,
sensibilities and your knowledge however stupid or smart they might be.<o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Best and practical reasons for having your own group in a classroom:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;">To feed your ego.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">To cover your back.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">To cover your tracks.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">To support your thoughts, not considering the level of practicalities of such frivolous thoughts.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">To provide you security in cases where you completely screw up and you know that there are people who will get screwed along with you or for you even without their knowledge.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">To provide you with resources at times where knowing your stupidity or extra smartness nobody else would be bothered to even look at your side, which again is a result of your own activities. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">To provide you support in cases where your stupidity and dumbness leads to a disaster of sorts in a classroom, playground or even in an event.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"> To stand by your side without realizing that the existence of scenario itself is a result of your manipulations and scheming for your own good.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">To not make you feel guilty about any failures as they themselves would be thinking on similar lines which will never let the realization creep into the situation.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Your group is nothing but your own world. Many others might contribute to your world but eventually its colored with your own vision. It is an amalgamation of all your thoughts together along with the contributions of others into a whole so that it creates an impact or whatever else you choose to create. The most essential part here is being able to twist people to your convenience so as to keep your will dominating the group and to keep it going. </div>
