Encounter With Pakistan

                                Encounter With Pakistan

            Encounter with Pakistan is an old saga coming since before the partition.Md.Jinnah maintained that Muslims are a different nation supported by many Muslim clerics which lead to Pakistan on the basis of Two Nation theory.Muslims wanted to live separately from Hindu nation called Hindisthan and wanted creation of a Muslim Nation called Pakistan.Many Muslims from various parts of India moved to their own nation Pakistan.It is another thing that those Muslims were never assimilated into Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
          If Muslims moved out of Hindusthan to create an Islamic country,Hindusthan and Hindusthan is alone remained in Hindusthan,still a country of ,82℅ Hindus is not being allowed to be called a land of Hindus.Leaders of India after partition still never declared India to be a Hindu Nation ,it was declared as a Seculer nation.Vande Mataram was denied the status of National Anthem at the objection raised by Muslim leaders.Since partition_Muslims became a favorite lot of Congress Leaders including Mahatma Gandhi who sat down on fast unto death on the payment of 52 crores to Pakistan.Sardar Patel never wanted to pay this amount but seeing the health of Mahatma conceded.Muslims became a vote bank of Congress and helped Congress to remain in powers.I shall not hesitate to add that Muslims are the poorest and most illiterate lot amongst minorities. Congress kept them so purposely.
           In 1956,there was a good occasssion to create an Uniform Civil Code but Pt.Nehru and Dr.Ambedkar endeavoured to codify only Hindu Laws.There was stiff resistance in Parliament including that of President of India Dr.Rajendra Prasad.The Hindu Code Bill was taken out of Board from the agenda of Look Sabha.Dr.Ambedkar had to resign as Law Minister.But no effort was made Pt.Nehru and his colleagues to chastise Muslim Law which overloaded against many vices particularly their women folks.
               In spite of so much being done for muslims ,Pakistan hate India campaign started from the days of Partition.Maharaja Hari Singh acceded Jammu & Kashmir to Hindustan.Pakistan sent their armed forces in the guise of Kabalis to take over Kashmir.They occupied the area which is today known as PoK and around 100 Kms.from Srinagar.Those forces let loose barberism,raped the women,looted their properties.Ultimately, Indian Armed forces intervened and drove away those Pak ( Napak ) forces.That is how rest of Kashmir is in India.Indian Constitution and Kashmir Constitution describe whole of Jammu & Kashmir as integral part of India.But Pakistan continues its hate campaign against India.
          Pakistan had encounters with India in 1947,1965,1971 and 1999 when Kargil took place.In 1956,when Lal Bahadur Shasti was Prime Minister,India crossed the International borders and entered Lahore which India had to vacate under Tashkant Agreement.That was the most befitting moment Indian Forces would have entered PoK and retrieved it.The PoK has become a den of terrorists where from ISI operates its training Camps.India have mapped the areas and know that  there are around 40 terrorists camps.
          Pakistan have been unsuccessfully tried to internationalise the Kashmir issues.Nawaz Sharif again raised the issue in general assembly of UN and sought plebiscite in Kashmir.He knowingly forgets about the Shimla Agreement and Lahore Declaration.He also forgets that since the days of accession to India_Kashmiries have been participating in every elections and forming their popular governments.
           Having failed miserably in UN and facing tough resistance at the home front at the hands of rebels,Pak forces have violated the cease fire more than hundred times and have been shelling heavily on civilian population killing around 9 people including a one year child whose first birthday was being celebrated.The border areas have been vacated by civilians to save their lives.Arun Jaitely,a couple of days met all the Service Chiefs and gave them instructions to retaliate in good measures.Our Indian Armed forces have started retaliating heavily and caused heavy casualties on Pakistan side.
              Now the question is " is it not an opportune moment to dismantle the training camps in PoK "
             We have been missing the opportunities to dismantle the terrorists camps where terrorists are being trained to carry proxy war against Indian civilians.We have capabilities to strike the camps and the world commuty will not object to such acts.After all Israel is striking those areas in west Bank and Gaza Strip.Why can not we do it.

SWACH BHARAT - 2. ( CLEAN INDIA -2 )

               Now let us take the case of Urban India.It is going to be stupendous task to keep rural India clean.We have 6000 villages where homes have no toilets or urinals.People go out to ease themselves in open.Most shamefull is for women folks to ease themselves.The go out before the dawn or after the sunset.Is it easy to create toilets in every home ? Greater problem is of availbility of water.Unless there is free flow of water,such toilets will become hell.
            Most of the Schools do not have toilets or urinals in schools what to talk of separate toilets or urinals for girls.PM Narendra Modi rightly says that girls drop out from the school for lack of proper arrangements of toilets and urinala.Corporate sectors have started taking adopting schools for providing toilets in the schools at the request of PM Modi.It is a good gesture on their part but herculeon task would be to provide free flowing water to those toilets.I only hope they provide water.I also hope Govt.also make available 24×7 hrs. water to every household in rural areas.
           Garbage collection in the urban areas is not going to be a big problem as many companies are coming forward to collect garbage and make profit out of it.But to keep stainless towns,cities and rural areas are going to pose big problem in this mission.
          PM must have taken into considerations all these difficulties and would have also thought of its solutions.I just wish him my best wishes for the success of this mission.Good Luck to PM.


                                           SWACH BHARAT--2
                                            ( CLEAN INDIA--2 )

          It appears Swach Bharat Abhiyan launched by PM Narendra Modi is picking up and gaining momentum all around. Even the President of India has joined the movement and came out with brooms in his native village as well as in Rashtrapati Bhavan.it was a good gesture on his part to support a noble cause to clean India.My society where I live also looks much cleaner. Some of the roads on which I travelled after the launch appeared much cleaner. Suffice to say that the mission has become a mission for the nation.
         A celebrety like Sachin Tendulker also came out with his 9 friends to clean the road in Mumbai. Others might also be doing it. A picture of a Rly. Station was loaded on social media showing a clean approach to the station. It was heartening development.
         But much more than this is required to be done to clean India.india is devided in rural and urban areas.Let us take the case of Urban Delhi.After 82 Asiad and 2010 Commonwealth Games , Delhi's roads have been widened and many Flyovers were added. Crores were spent on decorating the roads with flower pots etc. which disappeared on the close of the Games. Where have they gone?Of course, that is not my immediate concern at the moment.My concern is to analyse whether, these roads have been equipped with Public Convenience system. I travel 8 Km. everyday to reach Supreme Court either via ITO or Nizamuddin bridge. During rush hours it takes around 45". There was no public convenience constructed on the road side. People ease themselves on the road side only. Can we find fault with the people alone or Authorities have also to share the blame. It appears some Public Conveniences have been constructed but they are located at such inconvenient places that cars can not be parked there to ease themselves. For the last one year I find all those toilets/ urinals are lying closed.still we expect people to keep the area clean.In market are there is no toilet/urinal located. Was it not the responsibilities for the Corporations to provide such places.My submissions are that Public Convenience must be opened at every market and on the roads which should be kept neat and clean by the authorities. The may charge some nominal fee but not providing such convenient places is criminal

SWACH BHARAT ( CLEAN INDIA )

                              SWACH BHARAT ( CLEAN INDIA )

           I hail PM Narendra Modi for launching his visionary mission Swach Bharat Abhiyan ( Clean India Mission  ) as part of his vision  " Make In India ".He wants to convert India a global centre to invite the world to come and invest in India as the image of dirty India is a drag on investors to come to India.It is not a matter of pride for any Prime Minister of a country to start this kind of mission as it presupposes a unclean India.
        A few cabinet Ministers tried to provide an impetus in advance to clean their Secretariat since a few days before which was criticised the ministerial efforts and tried to pooh pooh their mission.Though it was a symbolic mission on their part to exhibit the commitment of their government's agenda.Obviously PM or the cabinet Ministers are not going to broom the floor of their work place but they only gave a signal to the people to keep their surroundings neat and clean.
          The PM while speaking at Rajpath beseached that his Swach Bharat Abhiyan should not be taken as a political statement but his sincere commitment to improvise the image of this nation in the eye of the world.He is one PM who has risen from the ranks and does not come from a blue blood family.When he was admitted in RSS for the first time,he was asked to live in RSS office and he was assigned the duties to keep the office clean and prepare tea and food for his senior Pracharaks.He used to broom the floor of the office ( Young Narendra Modi's photo brooking and cleaning the floor of the office uploaded many tomes on social media ),prepare food of his seniors.So here is a person who has in his blood the commitment to cleanliness.
             The PM has shown his vision and commitment,it is now our turn to fulfill his vision and restore our nation to order.Falacy is,no body wants to live in unclean environment but still it is taboo for everybody not to clean his surroundings.One does not feel shy to tell others about and condemning the unclean environment but he is not prepared to take the broom even symbolically.In fact, it should be a matter of habit of keeping our environment neat and clean.When some important guest is likely visit our place,we run helter skelter to clean our surroundings as he feels embarrassment in showing his dirty surroundings to his guest but once the guest leaves,he is back to square one.Why cleanliness should not be part of our life.
              I do not hesitate to repeat what I had written in my earlier blog " Sine Qua Non " wherein I had described how children are taught citizenery responsibilities from childhood.My daughter lives in Canada.When her daughter was two and half yes.she was put in a play school.My daughter was paying Can$ 250.00 per month.It is a big amount.I met my granddaughter for the first time when we went to Canada last year to celebrate her Third Birthday.We were amazed to see the behaviour of a three year child.This year we again went to Canada to celebrate her Fourth Birthday which falls on May,16.She was completing second year in play school.The way she behaved and fulfilled her citizenry responsibilities was amazing.She would herself follow her good habits,at times she would tell me also:- Grandpa do not do this,Grandpa you should do this.I felt around of her.In two years she was hardly taught to recognise alphabets and numbers but she became perfect citizen at the age of four.
                 Suffice to say,we have to teach good behaviour to our children from their childhood.So far elders are concerned,law enforcement agencies have to ruthlessly enforce the rules without any mercy.Politicians have to keep their hands completely off from interfering with the law enforcement agencies.After all now bikers are using helmets by and large.Car drivers are using seat belts.People are not allowed to violate traffic signals in Delhi.But go to Noida or Faridabad or Gurgaon,these rules are seldom followed.I feel like fool when I drive in Noida as others hardly follow traffic signals.
              To conclude, I only appeal to friends to follow and abide by all the norms which we expect others to follow.When we go abroad,we follow all the rules as there law enforcement agencies scare people but the moment we land India,we forget all the norms.Let us teach our children good norms so that it keeps reminding us also the norms.
                I hope by our honest efforts,we contribute and help PM Modi to realise his vision of Swach Bharat and pull India to the level of a global country.
            The Government are setting apart a huge amount of Rs.200000 Cr.for creating infrastructures of cleanliness in rural and urban areas unlike Sheila Dixit's vision creating public conveniences at inconvenient places in Delhi and that too keeping it locked all the time.

SINE QUA NON

                                     SINE QUA NON

           Complete fulfillment of citizenry rights coupled with enforcement of law and order are sine qua non for a civilized society in every corner of the globe.A relaxed state of affairs on either front will make any civilized country into India-Pakistan- Bangladesh where there is neither law and order or concious fulfillment of citizenry rights.Every citizen is supposed to be watch dog of others rights and observations of all civic obligations.At the same time Courts have to be fully geared up to fall heavily on wrongdoers quickly.Both the aforesaid aspects are absent in our country.
          Go to any public place,one finds that nothing is in order.All pavements are illegally occupied by shop owners leaving no place for shoppers to walk in the market.You can not question anybshop keepers as all other shop keepers will pounce on you.You can not even lodge complaint to civic authorities,either they are not visible or if they are visible,they will plead "what can be done ". Police presence is recorded but those uncouth Policemen are not to serve you but to win their weekly fees.
           Go to any Court premises in any sub divisional or district places,you have to start paying to the court staff for any thing and every thing.It is not that the Presiding Officers do not know what is happening.They are part and parcel of the loot.You can not lodge any complaint to any one.You have to merge with their demands and spend the day.It is not that only you are paying illegal gratifications,every one is doing the same thing.All promises made to Anna Hazare  that we will not indulge in any kind of corruption evaporated within a few days.Life became normal where corruption is part and parcel.
             Go to any government offices, every citizen is found giving bribes to get the work accomplished, you can not raise alarm their as you will be thrown out by your fellow citizens as you will be hindrance in their performance of task.No ration card,no driving license, no birth certificates are available without paying bribes.As citizen,we do not make any grievance of it as we know there is no remedy against these malaise.
               Our Courts are not fully geared up to hear the grievances of the citizens and force the authorities to deliver in rightful manner.It takes years and years to receive verdicts from the Courts.This has added to rise in corruption all around.
               I have been going to US and Canada for couple of years during summer vacation of Supreme Court to stay with my daughter and her family.There scenario is quite different.I find every one is so courteous,observes all civic obligations,they are always conscious of and fully aware of others rights not being trampled. The are quite cautious in public places,fully aware any wrong doing will land them in deep trouble.The Law Enforcement Agencies are merciless and enforce law mercilessly without any interference from any quarter.Politicians dare not interfere in their duties.
               My three- four year old grand daughter is taught all civic obligations by the teachers.My daughter used to pay Can$ 250.00 per mensum to get her daughter trained in citizenry obligations.In two years she has hardly learnt alphabets or numbers but was made perfect in citizenry obligations failing which she will be quite misfit in the society.
              Suffice to say pressure from the citizens and the Courts alone can keep ours a civilized society.Both pressures are sine qua non for maintain an orderly society.PLEASE ASK YOURSELF ARE WE CONTRIBUTING TOWARDS AN ORDERLY SOCIETY?

WOULD INDIA CARE ?

                                  WOULD INDIA CARE ?

        THE startling revelations by ex-CAG Vinod Rai in his book "Not an Accountant...." and his conversations with Arnab Goswami coupled with press report of TOI of Sept.12,2014 would force you to ponder whether you really care for India.The sum and substance of accusations are complete sale off of our national resources,be it 2G or Coal or Commonwealth Games or Air India purchase of Aircrafts or Augusta Helicopter Deal etc.The central figure who was responsible for all the squandering of resources appear to be Dr.Man Mohan Singh the Puppet Prime Minister of India for 10 long years.
          All the bucks stopped at him but he cared two hoots for it,continued to enjoy the bribe he was getting for letting his puppeteers plunder the nation.He was neither blind nor deaf nor dumb.Whenever his integrity was targeted he spoke and spoke very loudly that he was completely clean but it was his coalition dharma which tied his lips. He knew nation was being plundered but he maintained stoic silence and allowed plunder to go on.
         Sri Vinod Rai says:-
                 " There is no question of targeting him.For 2G and the Coal case.he was the PM and issue reached him.He was certainly in the know of things.In the 2G case all the letters written by A.Raja indicated what he was planning to do and the PM,unfortunately, gave very routine reply to him.
         On the coal issue ,it goes to his credit that the moment the then coal secretary Parakh made it known that the screening committee procedure was leading to windfall gains,pressure and lobbying,he understood...........................
        However,I hasten to add that despite having agreed upon to change the procedure to Auction in principle,the Coal Minister Dr.Manmohan Singh  did not do anything to stop windfall gains,pressure or lobbying as he was himself under pressure to allow such windfall gains,pressure or lobbying.Would you believe,218 coal blocks were allotted without a penny coming to the state exchequer. Most of the allottees are just sitting on the coal blocks without working on it and the Puppet PM continued to import millions of tonnes of coal.This was the wisdom of economist PM.
         Now let us take the case of purchase of Aircrafts for Air India.The Board passed a resolution to purchase 28 Aircrafts but at the nudge of the Minister Prafull Patel 68 Aircrafts were purchased at the extra costs of 38,000 Cr.The Air India came under the debt of 97℅ which made it completely unviable. As there was no need of so many aircrafts,they had to be sold at the rate shirts or trousers, Buy One and get Four free.Five aircrafts were sold for the cost of purchase price of new aircraft.Such a huge plundering was done in Civil Aviation Ministry without any intervention from PM.
          Similar things happened in Commonwealth games,Augusta Helicopter deal etc.but the PM would not even care to look at those allegation.On the contrary,he did not allow Suresh Kalmadi to be removed from the Games till Games were organised.
           If my memories serves me right,Dr.Subramaniam Swamy had accused openly Sonia G ,Karunanidhi and A.Raja having made huge money in 2G scam.There was no ripple on the face of any congress leader.They shamelessly continued to defend the leadership.Today also I heard Sanjaya Nirupam and Sandip Dixit abusing Sri Vinod Rai for having named them for putting pressure on him to exclude the name of PM.
              These bizarre things can happen only in India as India does not care for it.Had it been any Western Country,Dr.Manmohan Singh would have landed in jail for all his acts of ommission and commission. But we do not care for it.Neither we will get the trail of money where they have gone or there will not be any action against Dr.Manmohan Singh.He would continue to live on tax payers money throughout his life.
