Sabita exclaimed to notice that all those DEAD are Muslims only. I did not notice despite Buddha and Mamat rushing for Help in public. As The death toll in the trawler capsize in Hooghly river shot up to 69 tonight with 28 bodies retrieved from the waters, even as search for 43 others missing was suspended for the night due to inclement weather and strong currents. South 24 Parganas Additional District Magistrate (revenue) Nilanjan Shandilya, in-charge of the control room set up to supervise rescue operations, said seven bodies had been retrieved earlier in the day but it took time to reach here due to the bad weather.

Meanwhile,On the eve of Diwali and the high profile visit of US President Barack Obama, the Home Ministry today asked Maharashtra, Delhi and Jammu and Kashmir governments to beef up security during this period in view of intelligence inputs of possible terror strikes . The alert was sounded following intelligence inputs that terror groups like Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed or Indian Mujahideen may try to target these cities to get publicity during the three-day visit of Obama, beginning November six, official sources said here.

The US President will visit Mumbai and Delhi while Jammu and Kashmir has witnessed violence in the past during the visit of US President Bill Clinton in March, 2000 when 36 Sikhs were killed by Lashker-e-Taiba terrorists led by Muzamil, one of the key conspirators of 26/11 Mumbai strikes.

The security agencies in Kashmir were trying to verify an intelligence input suggesting that JeM had sent in some of its suicide squads into the Valley.

I have written so many times about the aboriginal landscape and humanscape clarifying the Demographic adjustment and readjustment to sustain Manusmriti Rule in Brahaminical Bengal.

Sachar committee exposed the tip of the iceberg. But the unfortunate accident presents a specific case study in which we find the Muslim community not only in Abosolute Poverty but they may not afford Health Care at any level. They had to cross the river by a overcrowded Trawler as the Children suffer from Malnutrition and most of them are indisposed. No healthcare, but they have only the Faith to sustain themselves. They had to visit the Majar of the Peer for CURE!

This is the story of the INCREDIBLE Sensex shining Brhamaincal India which is showcased by sam Pitroda! Most of the Dead are not only Muslim, it is rather more tragic that most of them happen to be Children!

It is a Bird`s Eye View in the Aboriginal Persecuted Humanscape enslaved by Zionist Global Hindutva and the Muslims are part of It. What Blind nationalism means in corporate India, IPL Casino and CWG Scam were Not enough to prove! The cupboard of SKELETONS tumble agin and Kargil Martyresremain used to get Luxury Flats in Metro Mumbai of the Maratha Manush!After meeting an 'upset' party chief Sonia Gandhi, Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan has offered to resign. He said the decision now lies with Sonia Gandhi. The Congress high command appears to be upset with Chavan, whose mother-in-law, sister in law and brother in law, were among the the 103 members of the controversial Adarsh Housing Society project in which several politicians, former Defence Services chiefs and other influential people have been alloted flats.The land on which the 31-storey building in posh Colaba was said to have been meant for Kargil war heroes and widows.

Earlier, Sundarbans Development Minister Kanti Ganguly had said 21 bodies had been retrieved during the day. Road blocks were put up by the relatives of the dead in the capsize to protest against the delay in postmortems.

Only 12 postmortems could be carried out during the day at the Kakdwip block hospital, sources said. The blockade hit Kolkata-Kakdwip traffic.

The situation has been compounded as the administration decided to conduct DNA tests of bodies which have more than one claimant. South 24-Parganas district magistrate N S Nigam said that DNA tests would be conducted to sort out such disputes.

In Kolkata, state home secretary G D Gautama said that 220 people were onboard the trawler as per the missing reports submitted by gram pradhans to the administration. A total of 93 persons were found to have either swum to safety or rescued, he said.
An FIR had been lodged against the owner of the trawler, who is absconding, Gautama said. The state government has announced compensation of Rs 2 lakh to each of the families of the deceased.

The Reserve Bank hinted at a marginal hike in key policy rates when it reviews its monetary stance tomorrow, saying inflation was still above the comfort zone and that there was uptick in credit to non-food sectors.

"Elevated inflation remains a challenge for monetary policy," RBI said today in its report on macroeconomic and monetary developments, ahead of tomorrow's second quarter review of FY'11.

Overall inflation was 8.62 per cent in September, although the government expects it to slip to 6 per cent by December.

"Food inflation continues to remain high despite a good monsoon, as price pressures have amplified for certain non-cereal items like milk, eggs, fish and meat whose output is less responsive to monsoon," the central bank said.

Complaint filed in court against Geelani, Arundhati

A complaint was filed in a Delhi court seeking prosecution of hardline Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani and writer Arundhati Roy on the charge of sedition for their alleged anti-India statements.

Metropolitan Magistrate Navita Kumari Bagha is likely to hear on November three the complaint filed by Aditya Raj Kaul under various provisions of the IPC and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, dealing with sedition, promoting enmity between classes, hurring religious sentiments and indulging in unlawful activities.

Besides Geelani and Roy, the complaint also seeks to prosecute five others, including Delhi University professor S A R Geelani, who was acquitted in Parliament attack case and Sheikh Showkat Hussain, a professor of Jammu and Kashmir University.

The complaint, filed by advocate Vikas Padora under section 156 (3) of CrPC, seeks either registration of an FIR or a direction to the police to file a report after probing their alleged anti-India statements at a seminar here.

The accused, while taking part at a convention on 'Azadi--The Only Way', Hurriyat leader Geelani had shared the dais with Roy and pro-Maoist leader Vara Vara Rao among others.

Geelani was, however, heckled by the audience. Roy had said Kashmir was never an integral part of India. It was a historical fact. Even the Indian government had accepted this.

It was alleged that as the government had miserably failed to initiate any action against the "culprits of the Anti-India seminar, a private complaint against them has been filed."

Obama's India visit in sync with US export strategy

The US President Barack Obama's visit to India, starting from Mumbai, fits into the American National Export Initiative (NEI) which seeks to double American exports in the next five years and creating millions of jobs, officials said.

The US Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, who will accompany Obama on his India visit on November 6, said recently in the Silicon Valley that "rebuilding America's economic foundation also means helping more the US companies sell their goods and services to 95 per cent of the world's consumers who live outside our borders".

He said that the NEI would expand the US government's export promotion efforts in all its forms. The US exports in 2009 were USD 1.05 trillion and it would like to double the same by 2014 under the Obama's economic initiative.

Rising India with 8.5-8.8 per cent economic growth and a huge 1.2 billion people market is of great interest to the US companies. Though the US economy has been registering growth since the last five quarters, worries on account of unemployment remain.

If the US wants to gain from the rising Indian economy, what is that India can get out of the relationship, which should cement with the Obama visit?

"American core competence lies in technology-intensive areas-be in manufacturing, defence, advance information technology and bio/nano technology. Most of these technologies are proprietal in nature.... so, there can be a win-win situation and complementarity between India and the US with the transfer of the technology," Ficci Secretary General Amit Mitra said.

He said that once the US is willing to transfer its proprietal technology, India should encourage foreign direct investment in these areas.

Of his three-day visit, Obama will spend first two days in India's financial capital-meeting CEOs from the US and Indian companies in smaller groups. He would also address an India-US Business Summit, organised by the US-Indian Business Council, Ficci and CII.

"One simple example of how a rising India translates into greater prosperity for the United States is Mumbai's new airport, which involved US high-end manufacturing and services by some of America's finest firms," USIBC quoted its President Ron Sommer.

The largest petroleum refinery in the world at Jamnagar was recently completed by Bechtel. "Boeing aircraft are filling India's skies, powered by GE and Pratt & Whitney jet engines, helping India maintain a burgeoning civilian airline industry growing at 30 per cent annually".

200 top American CEOs coming with Obama

With trade high on his agenda, some 200 odd top US business chiefs, including soft drink giant Pepsico's India-born CEO Indra Nooyi , are expected to join US President Barack Obama on his India visit next month.

Also expected are Honeywell CEO David M Cote, who co-chairs the India-US CEO Forum with Tata group chairman Ratan Tata .

So is Terry McGraw, CEO of leading publishing house McGraw Hill, who took over from Nooyi as the chairman of the US Indian Business Council , representing 300 top US companies last June.

Two more of 12 US forum members, Louis Chênevert, CEO of aerospace major United Technologies Corp, and Ellen Kullman, chief executive of chemicals giant DuPont , may also be joining.

But there is no word yet whether Citigroup's Indian-American CEO Vikram Pandit is going.

Andrew Liveris, Chairman, CEO and President of The Dow Chemical Company had skipped last June's forum meeting here at the height of Bhopal gas leakage controversy and it's not known whether he would give Delhi a miss too.

Only last week underscoring the "significance" of the "important economic relationship" with India, Obama's Press Secretary Robert Gibbs voiced the US hope of getting "some tangible results" from Obama's India visit.

Describing it as "an important economic relationship," he also made clear that Obama will talk a lot about "what we have to do to create jobs, to grow our exports, to ensure (and) that it just doesn't fall on American consumers to drive world demand."

"That's a lot of what you'll hear the President talk about on that trip, and we'll hopefully have some tangible results from it," Gibbs said.

US Commerce Secretary Gary Locke , who would be accompanying the president, also told a medical technology conference that "trade is high on the agenda" in New Delhi.

And to get Washington and Delhi to "catch up to the business and innovation cooperation that is already happening in New York and Mumbai," as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton put it, the CEO Forum has recommended several "interesting and ambitious ideas" in four core areas of infrastructure; clean energy; education and e-health/biotechnology.

'Foreign hand' in monetary policy?

It is a first in independent India's history. But for the first time, the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI's) half-year review of its monetary policy due tomorrow will have to be framed with an eye more on the external, rather than the internal, factors. This is a sea change from the past when our much lower level of integration with the global economy meant domestic monetary policy could afford to be almost entirely inwardly-focused.

Not any longer! Today, the impossible trinity that says that policymakers can choose only two out of the three objectives of free capital mobility, monetary policy independence and exchange rate stability is no longer a matter of only academic interest to policymakers in the RBI, as in the pre-reform days. On the contrary. They know that with an increasingly open capital account, monetary policy has to be oriented either towards an external objective such as the exchange rate or an internal objective such as the price level, but cannot achieve both at the same time.

In the past, India , like many emerging market economies, got out of that trilemma by opting for an intermediate solution skewed more towards exchange rate stability and monetary policy independence. But as capital controls, especially on inflows, have all but vanished and quantitative easing (QE) continues unabated in the US and to a lesser extent, the UK, we will have to decide: Do we wish to reorder our priorities? Are we prepared to accept more exchange rate volatility or do we wish to sacrifice monetary policy independence? Or, like many emerging markets, do we want to impose capital controls?

To be sure, the finance minister has repeatedly said he is not in favour of such controls. Of course, he could always quote John Maynard Keynes who, when accused of inconsistency famously retorted, 'when the facts change, I change my mind, what do you do, sir?' and do an aboutturn. But for now, the RBI will have to live with a government that does not seem to fully appreciate its concerns on capital flows.

We've already seen the consequences of this. The rupee has appreciated by little over 5% since September and asset markets are fast becoming overvalued. Morgan Stanley estimates that during the last 12 months, capital inflows would have been in the range of about $65-70 billion. If easy liquidity conditions persist, as seems likely, the present flood of dollars into the country could become a deluge. The implications for the rupee-dollar exchange rate and hence for monetary policy are enormous. So far, most of the inflows were being absorbed by a high current account deficit and by a modest (?) appreciation of the rupee.

US did share intelligence information, says Chidambaram

Union Home Minister P Chidambaram on Monday said the United States did share intelligence information before the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, but David Coleman Headley was not mentioned. Meanwhile, Chidambaram visited Baramulla town and chaired a security meeting of senior police, CRPF and army officials and held separate meetings with Omar Abdullah, local politicians, students, traders and the Gurduwara Prabandhak Committee.

It is now official, a hotline between India and China will soon become operational. This was stated by External Affairs Minister S M Krishna today as he emphasised the need for "better communication" and "more understanding" to resolve differences between the two countries. An agreement to establish the hotline was reached during Krishna''s visit to Beijing in April.While,Former foreign secretary M.K. Rasgotra Monday said the clamour for India's permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) was a 'foolish idea'.

"The US did share information before 26/11, but David Headley was not mentioned. On Headley, I think the issue is being blown out of proportion," said Chidambaram, while addressing the media persons here today.

"The US did share intelligence with us in the months leading up to 26/11, although the name David Headley was not mentioned. After 26/11 also, the US has shared intelligence with us as I have said in past occasions," he added asserting that the controversy over whether the US had failed to share intelligence on David Headley before the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks had been blown out of proportion.

Chidambaram further said the US is carrying out a full review of the information it had before and after 26/11, and the review would be shared with India.

"Intelligence sharing between the two countries is extremely good. The name of David Headley was shared with us sometime in October 2009," he said.
US Assistant Secretary of State for South Asia, Robert Blake had earlier on October 22 said all the information they had regarding David Headley was shared with India.

Talking to reporters here, Blake said: "Whenever the United State has had any specific information, it has been shared with India."

"I would want to reassure all of you that whenever we had any specific information on any chance of attack wherever in the world, particularly against our friends like India, we shared that information on a real time basis right away," he added.

He further said that USA attached so much importance to its relationship with India that nothing was kept away from their 'friend'.

Blake was responding to a question on Home Secretary G K Pillai's remark that India was not informed specifically about Headley prior to Mumbai terror attacks.

An open letter to President Obama about dalits and tribal people in India

Dear friends,

I do not know if Indian media gave much publicity to, and whether it caught your attention, but on July 24 of 2007 the US Senate as well as House of Representatives passed a concurrent resolution expressing the sense of the Congress that the United States should address the ongoing problem of untouchability in India. Well, Dr. A.K. Biswas did remember that resolution and would very much like to remind President Obama of the same. We have placed "An open letter to President Obama about dalits and tribal people in India" at:

http://www.PetitionOnline.com/ToObama/

As you would note from the online Open Letter, realizing that these things take time, we propose to keep on reminding President Obama and the US Congress on July 24 of the next couple of years, anniversary dates of the well considered resolution passed by the Congress on July 24 of 2007, to review any follow up actions taken. In the mean time we will continue to invite more and more endorsements from across the globe sympathetic to the cause of dalit and tribal communities to complement the voice of voiceless.

Keeping the above in view, please sign the said online "Open Letter" and let us all try to collect thousands of endorsements to present to Obama not only when he is in India, but the next year as well as the year after with thousands more signature on the open letter. In this endeavor you can send letters to your friends and to other forums stating something to the effect:

----
Dear Friends,

I have just read and signed the online petition:

"An open letter to President Obama about dalits and tribal people in India" hosted on the web by PetitionOnline.com, the free online petition service, at:

http://www.PetitionOnline.com/ToObama/

I personally agree with what this petition says, and I think you might agree, too. If you can spare a moment, please take a look, and consider signing yourself.

Best wishes,

----

Thanking you very much,
With best regards,
Satinath Choudhary

Home Minister P Chidambaram asked the interlocutors appointed by the government not to give a "ball-by-ball commentary" about the re-initiated dialogue process in Jammu and Kashmir. The remarks came a day after Dileep Padgaonkar, one of the three interlocutors, stirred a controversy following an announcement on TV that some militants may present a peace plan to them on their next visit to the state.

Padgaonkar told a TV channel that a member from a militant outfit told them during their recent trip to the valley that they would "like to submit a peace plan also to us". "The media should not ask such questions and the interlocutors should not give a ball-by-ball commentary. This is interlocution not a cricket match," Chidambaram told reporters here.
The three interlocutors -- Padgaonkar, Radha Kumar and MM Ansari -- were appointed by the home minister last month for a "serious dialogue to find a political solution" to the problems in the state rocked by violent protests since June. In the monthly review of the working of his ministry, Chidambaram, however said the interlocutors "have changed the discourse on Jammu and Kashmir".

"... I sincerely hope the people of Jammu and Kashmir will give peace a chance and dialogue a chance". He said the situation in the Kashmir Valley where some 110 people have been killed, mostly in firing by security forces on protestors, was "returning to normal - almost". "But it is too early to say everything is normal. Since the visit of the all-party delegation there is a sense of expectation that political problems will be addressed in all its seriousness."

THUS SPAKE PERIYAR
Gandhi's mischief : He was enemy of Dalits

With the powers vested in the hands of the Justice Party Government, the right to make use of all roads by all castes was brought into practice.

The Justice Party Government brought in a legislation even in those days permitting the so-called low caste people to make use of water from the wells, which had all along been exclusively reserved only for the use of the Brahmins.

These are all things which took place before the days of Gandhiji. It is absurd and fraudulent to say that it is only Gandhi, who did all these things. Not only this. The Justice Party people were the first people to pave the way for all castes to enter the Panchayats, Municipalities, Taluk Boards, District Boards and Legislative bodies even before the coming of Gandhi. They nominated the representatives of the so-called low caste people (the Untouchables) called as "Pariahs" to enter the legislatures on a par with the so-called high caste Brahmins. Chakilis, Pallars, were members of the legislature. I want you all to clearly understand this truth.

As a matter of fact, Gandhi's plans were different. He was not for allowing all the Sudras and the Untouchables to bale out water from wells and tanks, along with high caste Brahmins. He was not for permitting the Untouchables to enter the temples along with the high caste people. Originally, he only insisted on the continuance of certain rights exclusively for the highest caste. He upheld the Manu code. He was for separate temples, tanks, wells and dwellings for the highest caste Brahmins and the low-caste Sudras. That was the original plan of Gandhi, I know it. Let anyone deny. Today, false propaganda is carried on about Gandhi. Much is said about Gandhian way and Gandhian path.

I was the secretary of the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee. A sum of Rs. 48,000 was sent to Tamilnadu as grant from the All India Congress Committee, to construct separate schools and temples for the low caste Sudras called as the Pariahs, Chakkilis and Pallars. It was strictly ordered that these Untouchables should not go and create trouble at the places exclusively used by the highest caste Hindus.

By that time the Justice Party Government had already passed orders permitting all castes to study all schools irrespective of their castes. They made all to study together. Caste restrictions were removed in the field of education long ago. This reform was strictly enforced. There was a law compelling even private institutions to admit a certain percentage of Sudras in their schools failing which such schools would not be eligible for any Government grant.

At the time of inspection, the officer would put the question "How many Untouchables are studying in this institution?" If anyone should say that no Untouchable approached seeking admission, the officer would say "in that case you have got to go and get some Untouchables to study in your school". I am telling of the condition that prevailed in our state even before Gandhi came.

When Tamilians were so much progressive, in your Kanyakumari District things were very bad. The highest caste Hindus did not even tolerate the right of low caste Untouchable Hindus. Even this shadow should not fall on the so-called highest castes. That was the horrible tragedy in your place. The low caste Sudras were to raise a cry from his hiding place to reveal his presence. It is on account of the laudable services of Thiru Swami Narayana Guru that the low caste Sudras were awakened. The Vaikom Agitation changed the conditions. The Untouchables here gained a lot. These things may not be known to the youngsters here.

We waged the battle at Vaikom against untouchability. We were imprisoned many times. We were severely beaten. We had to make sacrifice to eradicate untouchability.

There were no classes in jail in those days. The treatment was very bad. We had to bear all these to eradicate untouchability and bring in a new change. How did this change come in? (to be continued)

Amid India''s complaint that the US did not share information relating to David Headley before or after 26/11, the United States has promised to share the outcome with India the findings of a "full review" on when and what inputs it received about the Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist. Home Minister P Chidambaram today said the issue of the US not sharing information about Headley was "blown out of proportion" as the US had shared intelligence with India in the months leading to 26/11 as well as after 26/11, though the name of Headley was not mentioned.
"What they knew about David Headley and when they knew about that and made the connection with 26/11, it is a matter, I am told, under full review in the United States," he told reporters replying to questions on sharing of information on Headley. Chidambaram said he had been assured that when the US authorities would complete the full review, they would share it with India.
"So, let''s wait for that review to complete," he said. Union Home Secretary G K Pillai had said on October 27 that the Home Ministry was "disappointed" that the US did not provide specific information about Headley, who had plotted the 26/11 Mumbai attacks that claimed 166 lives, even though he travelled here freely after the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack.
The Home Minister said intelligence sharing between India and the US was "extremely good" and the name of Headley was shared with New Delhi sometime in October 2009. Asked whether the issue of Headley''s extradition will figure in the meetings during the forthcoming visit of President Barack Obama to India, Chidambaram said "it (extradition) is an option and, as I said, we will continue to pursue that option".
On the possibility of filing a chargesheet against Headley in connection with the Mumbai attack, he said it was a decision which has to be taken by the National Investigation Agency -- the prosecuting agency-- and not by the government. On counter-terrorism cooperation between the US and India, the Home Minister said the two governments were working on an understanding with reference to a counter-terrorism initiative.
"So, until that work is completed, I won''t be able to comment but we .
the Ministry of Home Affairs broadly supports cooperation and counter-terrorism," he said.

Obama, King and Gandhi

A visit to Mahatma Gandhi's samadhi is customary for all the heads of state coming to New Delhi. For the US President Barack Obama, who arrives in India next week, the visit to Rajghat will be more than adherence to a hallowed protocol.

This is because, the emotion that the Mahatma evokes in Obama is more than admiration; it is also, at a deeper level, personal gratitude. Gandhiji's concept of non-violence influenced African-Americans' struggle for equality and justice, which was led by his worthy follower Dr Martin Luther King Jr.
For a once-racially divided America, electing its first non-white president in 2008 was an act of self-healing. In his book, Stride Toward Freedom, King writes: "Gandhi was probably the first person in history to lift the love ethic of Jesus above mere interaction between individuals to a powerful and effective social force on a large scale."
However, a question inevitably arises: Is Obama a worthy follower of the creed of non-violence as preached by both Gandhiji and the 'American Gandhi'?

Obama came as a breath of fresh air after the end of George Bush's eight years in office. Bush's 'War on Terror' had quickly degenerated into hi-tech savagery, killing and maiming tens of thousands of innocent men, women and children in Iraq and Afghanistan.
It completely eroded the sympathy that the US had received from the world community after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The blatant lies manufactured by the Bush administration to justify the massive military attack on Iraq further lowered America's moral stature in the eyes of its admirers.

Moreover, the cost of waging the two illegitimate wars, according to www.costofwar.com, is a mind-boggling $1,099,871,117,472 since 2001, and rising each minute! These wars have wrecked America's debt-ridden economy, and are at the root of all the current economic woes, record unemployment, erosion of common people's savings and the rapidly spreading anxiety and uncertainty in American society.

Obama was expected to do a U-turn on America's strange fascination with war. After all, USA has been almost uninterruptedly at war in some or the other part of the globe after the end of WWII. King himself had remarked that the US is the "greatest purveyor of violence in the world."
Sadly, Obama's response, in his first two years in office, to this institutionalised violence has been timid. The war in Iraq has ended, with questionable gains for America. However, its war in Afghanistan hasn't. And there is no sign that the US military is going to honour the deadline of July 2011 declared by Obama himself for the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan.
Apart from the fact that the US war in Afghanistan is morally illicit, it is also unwinnable. Its only outcome will be more deaths, more destruction, one more defeat for America -- and more profits for its military-industrial complex. Ironically, its other beneficiaries are terrorists themselves and the state of Pakistan that continues to give them a safe haven.
In the modern era, a major test of adherence to the creed of non-violence lies in total nuclear disarmament and demilitarisation of international relations. So far, Obama as the Commander-in-Chief of a country that has a huge stockpile of weapons of mass destruction, has not shown the "fierce urgency of NOW", to use an apt phrase coined by King, in discharging his duty toward the world community. He has also not questioned the logic behind the US playing the role of a superpower, which goes against the very grain of global democracy.

He believes that his country should continue to have its current pre-eminent position in global security. It is a belief that defies the consensus among peace promoters around the world that what the 21st century needs is a radically new democratic architecture for global military security, financial stability, sustainable development and environment protection.
For a young and charismatic politician who had raised hopes of being a change agent, Obama has largely disappointed his admirers around the world. As in the case of his many well-wishers, my moment of disappointment came when he chose to accept last year's Nobel Peace Prize, which he didn't deserve, and also from his acceptance speech in Oslo.
He acknowledged in the speech that his becoming president of USA was "a direct consequence of Dr. King's life's work". Yet, in the very next breath, he also said, "As a head of state sworn to protect and defend my nation, I cannot be guided by their ["Gandhi and King's"] examples alone. I face the world as it is, and cannot stand idle in the face of threats to the American people." The threats to America are highly exaggerated and, in any case, largely the result of its own policies.
In his Oslo speech, Obama also saw the root causes of violence in the very nature of man: "War, in one form or another, appeared with the first man," he stated, a theory hotly disputed by many philosophers and social scientists. "Barbarism is an intermediate sleep, not an original darkness" in human evolution, says Maharshi Aurobindo. Gandhiji himself has often affirmed that violence is not the innate nature of human beings.
All in all, it appears that Idealist Obama has not been able to prevail over President Obama. No wonder, the highly successful slogan that he had coined for his election campaign -- 'Change You Can Believe In' -- is now being seen as 'Change You Cannot Believe In'.

Chidambaram on Arundhati: Not taking action is also an action

New Delhi: Home Minister P Chidambaram on Monday said Delhi Police not filing a case against noted writer Arundhati Roy for her alleged seditious speech recently was in accordance with the letter and spirit of law.

"Not taking action is also an action," he shot back when a journalist asked him why the government was not acting against her for her Azaadi (independence) remarks made at a convention on Kashmir here recently.
"Section 124(A) of the IPC (related to sedition) is for deterrence and punishment. The spirit of the law and true interpretation of law is that unless there is direct incitement to violence, the state must show tolerance and forbearance. "Delhi Police is acting in accordance with the letter and spirit of the law," he said.
To a question about a demonstration outside the writer's residence by BJP women cell activists, the Minister said, "I don't think there was any attack on her residence. If there is specific request, we will provide her security."
BJP has been demanding registration of police case against her and Hurriyat hardliner leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani for their speeches in the convention on Kashmir.

Indian Muslims suffered for forgetting Jinnah's advice

Ms. SALEENA KARIM, ENGLAND

The Holy Book of Islam teaches that there are three forces of tyranny at work in this world: religious, economic, and political. Whereas the ideals for humanity are unity, justice and liberty, these elitist forces are based on counter-ideals of division, inequity and oppression. Naturally, therefore, all conflicts in human history invariably involve a struggle against one or more of these forces.

India pre-1947 is no exception. In fact, in the early 20th century India's people were subjected not to one form of tyranny, but to all the three. On the political side, ignoring the British (whose presence only served to complicate, rather than directly cause, India's 'national' problem), was the Congress Party, which imposed its dominance via majoritarian politics.
HINDU IMPERIALISM

Economically, India's poorest were the victims of vicious money-lending and landlord systems — mostly (though not wholly) controlled by Hindus. Whilst the Congress formally adopted a socialist policy, most of its top leaders were also capitalists. The driving influence of both the economy and the politics was Brahminist idealism, as manifested in the caste system permeating the Indian societal fabric from the top downward.

The thinker, Dr. Allama Iqbal foresaw the consequences of allowing these forces to persist and he called for a 'complete overhauling' of India's 'social structure' to bring it into conformity with the democratic ideal, and to forge it into a truly united nation. [1] To his mind, political freedom and a just economy would come about only if the Brahminist ideal itself was the primary focus of the overhaul.
PAKISTAN'S INTERNAL BATTLE

After 1937, when it became absolutely clear that non-Brahmins would never get a fair deal in India, the largest non-Hindu minority, the Muslims, gradually moved towards the demand for partition.

Pakistan's founders hoped that their new homeland would offer not only Muslims, but all who lived within its borders the opportunity to live and develop an egalitarian society without interference from the forces that had all but completely strangled the Indian body politic. That it has not happened to date is proof only that the mere removal of physical shackles does not free a people from the shackles on the mind. This is why Pakistan remains in an internal battle between bureaucrats, landlords, and religious extremists.
NOTHING CHANGED IN INDIA

The socio-political problems are a collective symptom of an old psychological problem. Pakistan is working through it; but the process is slow and painful.

Similar is true of India. From an international perspective, today it is economically and politically strong, and it is officially the world's largest democracy; but according to those millions still living at the bottom strata of its society, hardly anything has changed at all since independence. They have not benefited from India's material successes, and the reason is rooted in history.

We need not ask whether the Pakistan demand was a serious one or not. The divisive nature of Brahminism made some sort of Hindu-Muslim separation inevitable. But if Pakistan was a bid for freedom, then what of the Muslims and other religious and ethnic groups who remained in India?
JINNAH'S ADVICE TO MUSLIMS

M.A. Jinnah was the Quaid-i-Azam of the Muslims of India long before he was the founder of Pakistan. In his last interview addressed to Muslims staying on in India, Jinnah gave them some important words of advice which are still applicable today.

It is well-known that Muslims who were to remain in India – i.e. those of the Hindu-majority provinces – had been the first and most dedicated supporters of the Pakistan movement in its early phase. They were anxious to know what to do now that their leader was leaving for Pakistan. In his interview to the deputation leader of the Coorg Muslims in July 1947, he advised them as follows:
KEEP YOUR IDENTITY

The Musalmans in India have yet to go through a number of ordeals, sufferings and sacrifices. Their future will remain dark for some years to come and thick clouds will be hanging over them. The only way out for them will be to become much more active, much more courageous and work harder than ever before. …

What you have to do is to maintain your identity and individuality in the first instance. You can adapt yourselves to the changing environment, without sacrificing your identity and individuality. If you sacrifice these two ideals then you will have lost everything, and your survival without this distinction will hardly do any good to you. You can maintain your identity and at the same time serve the best interests of your country. …
CHAOS IN INDIA

As regards your loyalty, you cannot be but loyal to your country. … You can be useful citizens of your country in two ways by being (1) educationally forward and (2) economically sound and thereby make yourselves indispensable to the country. …

Disintegration is bound to set in at some point or other because of lack of homogeneity in the ruling junta. If you are well equipped educationally, you will catch the opportunity by the forelock and hit bargain politically. Just the time when you will be awakened to your potentialities and aspirations you will appear again on the scene as a balancing factor in the power politics. You will then have nothing to lose but everything to gain. You will be a power to be reckoned with and the majority community or the powers that be will find it impossible to run the administration of the country without your help and cooperation and you will have a larger slice of the share in the authority and power which were denied to you so long. … It is at this psychological moment that all the major problems with which you were confronted will be solved in a friendly atmosphere. However big or great your problem, don't run to solve them with a hammer in your hand. You must have the sagacity and wisdom to solve them at an opportune time when circumstances are more favourable. [2]

In short, whilst Jinnah had succeeded in attaining Pakistan, he expected the remaining Muslims of India to retain their identity, and to become educationally and economically strong so as to act as an agent of social reform. Just as he expected Pakistan to develop as a state aiming at the ideals of liberty, justice, and unity, Jinnah expected Indian Muslims to continue the struggle against that 'mad idealism' [3] against which he himself had fought since the 1930s – gradually, peacefully, and for the good of their own country.

Yet Muslims throughout the subcontinent seem to have forgotten the message of their Quaid-i-Azam, their history, and their duty to each other, not to mention their duty to those who suffer with them. As long as we do not remember, none of us will move forward.

How Muslims are enslaved

Muslims number about 15% of India's population — but reduced to not only dirt poor but denied all human rights. In Bihar and Bengal, where they form a sizeable population, they can't even open their mouth. The trick adopted by the micro-minority Brahminic rulers to break the backbone of Muslims is like this: Hinduise (enslave) the non-Hindu, if not anti-Hindu, SC (20%), ST (10%) and BCs (30%) and instigate them against Muslims. Even while using this three sections to break the back of Muslims, the rulers saw to it all the three become obedient slaves. With over 85% of Indian population of 1,300 million becoming paupers, the whole country is in a state of coma. No doubt the Muslims are maintaining their identity but the money-driven society, which the Brahminists launched, did not spare the Muslims. And here lies the danger of Muslims losing their identity also — EDITOR.

HINDU RULERS LEAVE 50% OF INDIANS TO STARVE & DIE

OUR CORRESPONDENT

Bangalore: It has now become very clear. The ruling Aryans in Delhi are no more interested in the appalling 50% of the people living below the poverty line. They feel the poor are a burden and hence must be allowed to die.

Here is a report by a Bania woman published in the country's principal Brahmin daily, the Hindu (Sept.25, 2010). She was reporting on the meeting of the National Advisory Council, yet another eye-wash organisation in Delhi created by the Aryans to fool us, presided by Sonia Gandhi and attended by the top brass of the govt. The report said:
Not even god can save them

New Delhi: In a major setback to the National Advisory Council (NAD) and the Right to Food Campaign, the Planning Commission and the government made it clear on Friday that it would be difficult to provide legal guarantees as far as food security for those living above the poverty line (APL) was concerned. Nor would it be possible to guarantee the slew of additional entitlements that the NAC has envisaged for the most disadvantaged.

In short, they said the right to food security for all citizens was impossible.

No other paper reported this because "BPL people" anyway cannot read. They are remembered only on election-eve for their votes which can be simply purchased. Not even the god can save them.

Supreme Court snubbed: When the "national" toilet papers reported that the country's food godowns were overfull, bursting and the grains were being eaten by the rodents and birds, the Supreme Court (SC) ordered that the rotting grains at least could be distributed free to the starving millions.

But the devotees of Ram Lalla led by the "Khatri Sick" PM hit back at the SC and asked it to shut up.

Their job is to die: According to the Hindu report India's BPL population stood at 50% which amounts to a shocking 650 million.

The Aryans have been rulers of India by the grace of their god Ram Lalla.

It is this BPL people who helped the rulers to demolish the Babri Masjid. Their job is over. Now their next job is to do and die and never question where and why.
China learns truth about Jews

Who's to blame for the current global financial crisis? According to a best-selling book in China, which is leading the sales in the country, the answer is clear: the Jews.

In the eyes of Chinese, Jewish people are considered "smart", rich and "good at making money". Bookstores in China offer a variety of self-help books titled, How to Make Money Like Jews and The Secret of Jews Global Success.

Until recently, the notion that Jews and money were inseparable carried no anti-semitic undertone in the country but a relatively new book called Currency Wars threatens to change all that. The book's author Song Hongbing, claims that behind world-changing events like the battle of Waterloo, Adolf Hitler's rise to power, President Kennedy's assassination, and the deep recession in Asia during the 1990s stood an intricate conspiracy aimed at increasing Jews wealth and influence.

Song, a Chinese computer engineer and history buff who resides in US, writes that almost every defining historical moment has been instigated by Jewish bankers, and mainly the Rothschild family, which Song says dominates the global banking system.

(CDL Report, USA, Sept.-Oct.2010)
The big hoax called scientific research

OUR CORRESPONDENT

Bangalore: As newspaperman we had the opportunity to visit a number of "scientific research institutes" and meet "scientists". We have no private research in India. All that we have are govt-owned. Bangalore has the country's "most famous" scientific institution — Indian Institute of Science (IISc).

Brahminical fortress: But what is the result? Did any Indian win any Nobel Prize? None after India became "independent". Why scientific research is lagging despite all the state funding?

The article in DV (Oct.1, 2010 p.24: "Grass-eating monkeys pose as scientists with Russian know-how") by Com. Ayyankali partly answers this question.

The answer is: If science has to flourish, the people who go into it must have a scientific temper. Those without a scientific temper cannot become scientists.

The IISc in Bangalore is a mile away from our office and we have visited it umpteen times. IISc is a well-funded Brahminical fortress from top to bottom and to these Brahminists their religion and caste are more important than science.

As the Brahminists are also India's rulers, they have killed the very scientific temper and the science died even before it was born.

That is why India is last (it is last in everything else except boasting) in science.

As the Indians have lost trust in anything made in India, they go for every thing that is foreign including foreign cars.

Vedic value system: That is how India is lagging in scientific research. The Brahminists will never, ever give up their anti-science belief system. Because the moment they give up their vedic value system, they lose the country's leadership to which they are not ready. So, they put their vedic values above the country. The country may suffer. Who cares? They get their fat salary, big bungalow, plenty of perks, foreign jaunts.

On the top of that, periodically they organise a well-publicised award-giving ceremony. "A" gives the award to "B" and after two months "B" gives another award to "C". Both "C" and "B" join and give an award to "A". The merry-go-round goes on. People are fooled. The country gets cheated. So what? They don't lose anything. They fool the people and continue to get awards and rewards.
Did any Brahminist criticise his Brahminism & suffered for it?

OUR CORRESPONDENT

Bangalore: Dalit Voice was the first in the world to call Brahmins the "Jews of India" and bring out ever so many similarities in the two racists.

Brahmins form 2% or so of India's 1,300 million population and Jews also form 2% of the American population. Both are the most hated communities in the world.

Jew killed for criticising Jews: But there is some essential differences between the two. The Jews, who too are a race (not a religion) like the Brahmins, have produced any number of revolutionaries who had the courage to criticise their own race and get killed for becoming the critics.

But we have not heard of any such revolutionary among the Bhoodevatas who had the courage to rebel against his own race.

We have just completed reading the works of two such Jewish luminaries. (1) Henry Makow, PhD, author of the shocking book Illuminati (The cult that hijacked the world), 2008, pp.300, Silver Green, Canada (photocopy available).

(2) The second important personality is Henry H. Klein, a great American patriot, who had the courage to say that Hitler's famous Holocaust was a hoax and the Protocols of the World of Zion was not a forgery but a zionist creation.

He was poisoned to death (1955) in New York by the Jews only.

Read his book, Anti-Gentilism, Christian Defence League, Mandeville, LA 70470, USA (2010, pp.25, photocopy available).

We would like to know if there is any among the "Jews of India" who has rebelled against his race and suffered for saying the truth.

WHO IS THE ENEMY CAUSING PRESENT-DAY WORLD CONFLICT ?
Jews killed Jesus, divided church & now destroying Roman Catholics
OUR CORRESPONDENT

Bangalore: Every big city in India has a "den of the Jews" called Freemason lodge. The capital city, Delhi's most important road, Janpath, where it touches the Connaught Place, has the Delhi branch of the Freemasons located in a sprawling prime locality — so well maintained even to this day. Calcutta, Madras, Bombay, Bangalore and other big cities have also such dens.

What is the Freemason lodge? Nobody knows. It is all secret. It is a conspiratorial centre of the Jews and the "Jews of India".

The top-most people of a city are members of this lodge without even knowing what it is all about.

Priests holding guns: We are reproducing excerpts from the book of the top-most Roman Catholic Pope who exposed the criminal conspiracies of this secret society.

"Freemasons lodge" is the secret society of the Jews, as narrated by the highest religious authority in the Christian world. It is the Jews who killed Jesus and later divided the church into Roman Catholic and many Protestant churches and brought about so much confusion in the Western world.

Again it is the Jews who gave birth to different Protestant religions to further weaken the Catholic Church. The Evangelical Church which mushroomed in USA was engineered and financed by the Jews who totally control the USA.

Dalit Voice is the one and the only paper in India which had the courage to reveal the truth.

President George Bush engaged the Evangelical church leaders to lead the American troops sent to destroy Iraq. These Christian priests were holding guns instead of the Bible.

WHO IS RULING INDIA ? & HOW ?

THE ONLY BOOK OF ITS KIND

For Every Seeker of Truth & Justice

India is a very mysterious country not only for foreigners — but even for Indians.

It is very difficult to get at the TRUTH even to the most brilliant mind. But without knowing the TRUTH how can you make yourself free? Yes. How then to get at the Truth?

Gandhi's India is called the land steeped in spiritualism, embodiment of peace, justice. Truth and non-violence.

All this is bullshit, says the internationally acclaimed author of over 100 world-famous books — which proved to be the scourge of this micro-minority ruling class. The facts he reveals are shocking.

Who then is ruling India? Who constitute the rulers? Why so much secrecy on their composition? Why all this confusion?

All these are very convincingly answered in the only book of its kind on India — the land of many mysteries.

The author — called "India's most controversial writer" by the ruling class — is a world famous journalist, editor and author.

WIKIPEDIA SPITS VENOM
Look : How the Enemy helps make DV & its Editor world famous
Honest Enemy is more important than a useless friend

V.T. Rajshekar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The neutrality of this article is disputed. Please see the discussion on the talk page. Please do not remove this message until the dispute is resolved. (December 2007).

V. T. Rajshekar, in full Vontibettu Thimmappa Rajshekar, also known as V. T. Rajshekar Shetty, (born 1932) is a controversial Indian journalist who is the founder and editor of the Dalit Voice,[1] which has been described in a release by Human Rights Watch as "India's most widely circulated Dalit journal".[2]

He is himself not a Dalit, he is the son of late P.S. Thimmappa Shetty, who retired as the Collector of South Kanara District. He belongs to the well-known Vontibettu Beedu family belonging to the higher caste Bunt community.[3]

He was formerly a journalist on the Indian Express,[2] where he worked for 25 years. He is the founder of the "Dalit Voice" organisation[4] a radical[5] wing of the broader movement for Dalit interests.[6] He is also the author of a great number of pamphlets and books, mainly published by his own organisation.

Positions & Dalit Voice

Main article: Dalit Voice

Started in 1981, Dalit Voice is a periodical launched by Rajshekar.

Under Rajshekar's leadership the Dalit Voice organisation formulated an Indian variant of afrocentrism similar to that of the Nation of Islam in the USA.[7]
Controversy & criticism

Dalit Voice has published articles about "Zionist conspiracies" regarding Hitler and the Third Reich.[10][11] They have also supported the Iranian regime and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's denial of the Holocaust.[12]

Articles in the Dalit Voice have stated that the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion is a real Jewish conspiracy.[13] and that Indian Jews were "join(ing) hands (with Hindus) to crush Muslims, Blacks and India's Dalits".[14]
Brahmins are "Jews of India"

Rajshekar has made parallels between the Brahmins of India and the Jews. He stated that that the two groups had the same ethnic origin. He called Brahmins "The Jews of India" stating that "a Jew is one who is a born Jew. There is no conversion to the Jewish religion". Similarly, in his view, "a Brahmin is one who is a born Brahmin"; they are "as bad as the Jews" and that Brahmins and Jews have joined hands "in a big way" in the USA, England and Europe.[14].

"The First World War, the Second World War, the establishment of Communism, the rise of Hitler, were also systematically planned and executed by Zionists." Bill Clinton was the "victim of a Zionist conspiracy", for the Zionists, who "control the entire American politics, economy and the media as well", are "angry that Clinton refused to finish the demon of Islam and render all-out support to Israel".[15][citation needed].

A scholarly historical survey of antisemitism by Léon Poliakov referred to Rajshekar's movement in the following terms:

"The phenomenon of anti-Semitism in a vocal though marginal and unrepresentative section of the Dalit movement is attributed somewhat patronizingly to the "mental confusion among India's poor Dalits".[6]
International reputation

Given his upper caste origins, many of his detractors have questioned his commitment to the Dalit cause.[16]

V.T. Rajshekar Shetty (79) a noted journalist and writer of international repute, author of over 100 books, is the most famous intelectual among the Bunt Community. The eldest son of P.S. Thimmappa Shetty, the first Bunt collector of the South Kanara district, he hails from the famous Vontibettu Beedu family in Udupi.

Travelled all over the world, he led delegations to China, Lanka, England, America, Libya, Pakistan, Nepal, Japan and rpresented India at many international conferences. He spent 25 yeras at the Indian Express in senior positions, in Bangaore, Bombay, Delhi. He is currently the Editor of the English fortnightly — Dalit Voice, the most famous English journal of the Dalits and Backward Castes and Muslims and represents the Voice of over 85% of the Indian population.
"Caste — A Nation Within the Nation"

The book declares the Indian castes as nations within the nation of India. It argues for the strengthening of each caste. Rajshekar further demands that the Dalits be deemed superior to all other castes and build a segregate Dalitist state in India. [15]. He has expressed similar views in interviews as well. [16]
Passport confiscation

In 1986, Rajshekar's passport was confiscated because of "anti-Hinduism writings outside of India". The same year, he was arrested in Bangalore under India's Terrorism and Anti-Disruptive Activities Act (TADA). Rajshekar told Human Rights Watch that this arrest was for an editorial he had written in Dalit Voice, that another writer who republished the editorial was also arrested, and that he was eventually released with an apology.[2]. Rajshekar has also been arrested under the Perversion Act and under the Indian Penal Code for creating disaffection between communities.

He has also been placed on the "dangerous persons list" of the Indian home ministry.[2] The only issue with these statements is that India 's Terrorism and Anti-Disruptive Activities Act was formulated in 1985 but enforced in 1987 so Rajshekar' arrest or confiscation of Passport story may be false.

He is one of the vocal human rights leader. He is outstanding spokesperon of the Black Untouchables of India (Dalits) and other persecuted nationalities.

His famous book, Dalits — the Black Untouchables of India, published by Clarity Press, Atlanta, USA created history and exposed cruel nature of caste system and sufferings of Untouchables. His fight against tyranny and oppression is well known and ruling establishment several times arrested and draconian laws applied to torture him.
Most hated personality

His writings and speeches inspired many Untouchables and give them intellectual courage to fight against caste-based oppression unleashed by Brahminical Social Order (BSO) of Hindus. His knowledge about Indian social system and religion is immeasurable. He has made deep study of suffering, persecution and humiliation of Untouchables (Dalits/SC/ST people) in the BSO-controlled Indian society.

He is one of the most hated and leave behind out personality of BSO-controlled Manuwadi (Manu was a ancient law-giver of Hindus who codified dreaded caste laws in ascending order of reverence and descending degree of contempt) Indian media (both print and electronic).

Several attempts have been made to silence him and finally treacherous manuadi Indian media disregarded him in spite of his achievements in the field of human rights as acknowledged by UN Human Rights Commission.

His son, Salil Shetty, is the Secretary-General of Amnesty International. He never aspired for personal wealth, name and fame.

He is still persecuted for his fight against injustice and cruel system of caste system. Those who believe in justice, truth and human dignity will conduct deep study of "Writings and Speeches of V T Rajshekar", a living marvel. He can reach out to website: www.dalitvoice.org.

Dalit Voice is a controversial anti-Semitic political magazine published in Bangalore, India, that claims to express the views of the Dalit movement. The current full title is "Dalit Voice: The Voice of the Persecuted Nationalities Denied Human Rights", and it appears fortnightly in both internet and print formats. It was founded in 1981[citation needed] by V.T. Rajshekar, a former journalist for the Indian Express, who is still its editor.

Liberation from Brahminism

Positions:

The magazine is described by the Columbia University library as

"characterized by strong anti-Brahminist, anti-caste and anti-racist stance, advocacy of liberation from Brahminism, and polemical tone. Self-proclaimed as "the sole spokesman for the entire deprived, dehumanised lot of India...", — Dalits, Backward Castes, Christians, Muslims, Sikhs, women — "all victims of the Aryan Brahminical racism."[1]

The magazine has published articles that attack Hinduism, Jews, Zionism and American neoconservatism.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

Its anti-Brahmin rhetoric, frequently follows to further anti-Semitism with claims of Brahmins in India being descended from Jews and deriving their "fanaticism" and "arrogance" from "Jewish Zionist Racism".[9][10]

Dalit Voice has also made various anti-Semitic accusations and touted "Jewish conspiracy theories"[11][12]. The editor V.T. Rajasekhar has treated the hoax text Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion as legitimate[13] and has accused Indian Jews of a conspiracy to "join hands (with Hindus) to crush Muslims, Blacks and India's Dalits."[14]
9/11 a total Zionist hoax

Dalit Voice, in addition to publishing articles about "Zionist conspiracies" regarding Hitler and the Third Reich[15][16], have also supported the Iranian regime and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's denial of the holocaust[17].

It has also claimed that the September 11, 2001 attacks in USA were a "total falsehood manufactured by the zionists controlling the Bush Administration".[18]
Reception

Yoginder Sikand, who writes on Muslim-Hindu relations, has criticized the publication, referring to it as "radical" and asserting that its rhetoric does not help alleviate the Dalit situation[19]:

"Far from alleviating the prevailing situation the militant rhetoric of the writers of Dalit Voice offers nothing substantial and instead create even more disunity. One writer calls the [Islamic] Ulema as the 'progeny of iblis' and appeals to the Muslims to stop reading their literature at once[19]."
Afro-Dalit literature

A scholar, Vijay Prashad, has written of the links between a group of authors including V.T. Rajshekar, Ivan van Sertima and Runoko Rashidi and writers in the Afrocentric movement.

He called this a "submerged network of Afro-Dalit literature". He mentioned Rajshekar's editorship of Dalit Voice, saying that its pages had "welcomed African American scholars for at least a decade". He criticized the views of this group of writers as "epidermal determinism" (seeking solidarity on the basis of skin colour alone rather than on the experience of oppression).[20]

The writer Koenraad Elst has criticised the publication for having anti-Hindu views. [21], counter-claiming that claims of racism in Hinduism are a "crank ideology".

Leon Poliakov writes that the antisemitism exhibited by Dalit Voice is a fairly recent and unrepresentative phenomenon among India's Dalits[22]

Dalit Voice has also been criticized for "buying into anti-Jewish conspiracy theories" by the far-left "Maoist International Movement". While praising the Dalit Voice for having "some good information on caste and other problems in India", they suggest that[23]:

"We hope to see Dalit Voice drop its conspiracy theories about Jews that underestimate the oppressiveness of oppressor nation people in the United States and Western Europe and take up Marxism-Leninism-Maoism[23]."

How much Jews & "Jews of India" are worried about DV & its Editor

Wikipedia is the creation of the American Jews which is a sort of internet version of the famous Encyclopedia. Most of the net browsers being the rich and the leisurely upper castes (Hindus), this hate-mongering "Jews of India" are having close connections with their blood brother Jews.

These rulers (15%) of India have the advantage of being rich, English-educated and also holding high positions in USA and the West.
U.S.A. dying

That is how they dominate, if not dictate things not only in Wikipedia but the entire Western media.

Their sole mission in life is to suppress Truth and spread falsehood. But they will not succeed. History has proved it.

Fortunately the USA, the new fatherland of the "Jews of India", is dying — being killed by their own Jewish blood brothers.

The 2% Jews controlling the US are furious with America's White Christian leaders for having failed to secure them their "homeland", the racist and fascist Israel, which rightly belongs to Arabs.
India dragged to World War-III

The Jews are forcing the US to bomb Iran so that the zionist Israel could live in peace.

But the Jews are failing everywhere. Their latest bid to attack Iran may even trigger a World War-III, dragging the emerging super power China, supported by Russia.

The foolish "Jews of India" (2%) in their love for their blood brother Jews may drag India into the World War-III. Very dangerous days are ahead. DV has said all this — many times.
FREE PUBLICITY

What the Wikipedia's above attack reveals is how much the Enemy is worried about DV and its Editor.

It also reveals the enemy opinion of the DV and its Editor.

And also how the enemy attacks made DV and the Editor so famous all over the world — without spending any money — and thereby causing worry to the Enemy — EDITOR.
Wikipedia read by 2 crores in the world

The world's biggest Internet encyclopedia is read by 2 crores (20 millions) out of the 18 crores (180 million)who browse the Wikipedia in the whole world.

This figure is announced by the Wikipedia itself.

Dalit Voice thanks the enemy for giving us this unique honour — plus free publicity.

BRAHMINIC MAD LOVE FOR BLOOD
Another war with China will inflict more disastrous defeat

V.T. RAJSHEKAR

Look at the empty arrogance, insolence, false pride, craze to dominate, throwing its weight around without any proof of strength of character or integrity of the Brahminic rulers of India — who have already become the laughing stock of the world in the Commonwealth Games holocaust. Will this lead to a second but more disastrous confrontation with the rising super power China? (DV Oct.1, 2010: "Will Kashmir lead to war with China"?).

The proof of this is China is loved by all its neighbours but India is hated by all including the Hindu Nepal.

Kashmir Intifada: The "Khatri Sick" PM's team sent to Kashmir met with just one voice: Azadi which they celebrated with the bloodiest yet violence in two decades of uprisings against the Brahminic rule. The Economist called it India's Intifada.

Not even two centuries back the entire Kashmir was pure Brahmin. There was an en bloc revolt against Brahminism and the entire Kashmir became Muslim and the Enemy No.1 of Brahminism.

This enemy included the "Father of Pakistan", Poet Allama Iqbal, a Kashmiri Brahmin.

In 1962 — 36 years ago — the same rulers led by the then Kashmiri Brahmin PM, Jawaharlal Nehru, displayed the usual Brahminic arrogance and suffered a bloody nose at the hands of China. And died.

Brahminism has never given us peace in this subcontinent ever since the beggars set foot on this ancient land.

Neville Maxwel and Lt.-Gen. Henderson Brooks, a British officer, have all written how "the Indian soldiers were ordered to challenge the Chinese in a military confrontation which it could only lose". (Times of India, Sept.19, 2009).

World War-III: We are deeply worried that a second confrontation may involve not only Pakistan but also China which in turn may draw USA. That means the World War-III.

A PM, who can't manage a games field and became a laughing stock of the world, now wants to drag India into a World War-III. A mouse trying to fell a mountain. (DV Oct.1, 2010 p.15: "Khatri Sick" as India's worst & weakest PM").

Why China is loved not only by all its neighbours but also India's neighbours: Pakistan, Lanka, Burma, Bangladesh, Nepal? Why it doesn't occur to the pig-headed Brahminists that China, our largest and the world's second most powerful country, should be also our stable and peaceful neighbour? Why the Brahminist mad dog wants to bite every country around us? The US itself is afraid of China. Who will bother about India which can't manage a simple playing field?

Internal weakness: Already India has become one of the poorest countries in the world. Over 70% of its people are hand to mouth. Muslims, Christians, Sikhs — the three powerful religionists forming 20% of the population, have been permanently wounded.

Another war with China and Pakistan will not only be a nuclear war but killing millions of our starving Bahujans and the fighting jawans. India will be devastated.

Just to satisfy the arrogance of the Brahminic bully — a micro-minority of 2% — can we choose to challenge China? If the empty-headed Brahminists want India to become a regional power, they must make India internally strong. With over 85% of the population on starvation diet, and the rulers totally corrupt, with every wing of the society collapsing, what will happen if it goes to challenge the rising super power China?

Our information is the Brahminic middlemen for American arms dealers are being pushed by the 2% Jews controlling the US. They are forcing the Indian rulers for a war via Kashmir.

Jews itching for war on Israel: The Jews are itching for a war with Iran to save their heart throb, Israel. This will be possible only if they drag USA also. The "Jews of India" are too willing to wage a war over Kashmir which will instantly put India face to face with China. Are the grass-eating chaddi chores ready to face the nuclear-armed Pakistan on one side and super power China on the other?

Taliban, which once defeated the super power Soviet Union in Afghanistan, has already defeated US which is packing out.

War with Iran: The "Jews of India" believe that the ruling Jews of America will keep USA close to India. But the first love of Jews is Israel and not India. To keep Israel safe and secure it is provoking a war with Iran. If Iran is touched it will instantly draw China and Russia. That means World War-III.

If such a conflagration takes place, Taliban under the influence of the Pakistani ISI will simply take over Afghanistan. This will affect Kashmir where the current angry Intifada has turned against India.

Foreign ruler coming: Poor, suffering India is being unnecessarily dragged into a war in which it can never win.

India was once ruled by Britain. Earlier by Muslims. Within 60 years of the so-called independence, will India be occupied by a foreign ruler?
World Black gathering in Senegal

RUNOKO RASHIDI, DAKAR

To the readers of Dalit Voice, it gives me great pleasure to announce a historic gathering of the Black peoples of the world in Dakar, Senegal, in Dec. 2010. This is part of the World Black Arts Festival to be held in this West African nation. Our conference, one of seven to be convened at the gathering, will have a special focus on the Ancient African Diaspora.

I am happy to announce that one of the major presenters is Dalit Voice Editor, V.T. Rajshekar of India. For the African people, it is important to note that our history did not begin with invasion, defeat, colonization and enslavement. We have an ancient history, a great history.

Humanity originated in Africa: Modern humanity began in Africa. Over 100,000 years ago that humanity began to filter out of Africa. Asia was their first destination. These Africans did not arrive in Asia as destitute and penniless. They came as the first people. They introduced human culture to Asia. Of the places in Asia these Blacks had their largest influence, Pakistan and India were among the most important. They made up the tribal people of India, the first people of India.

They help build the Indus Valley Civilization, where people domesticated rice and invented the windmill and advanced agriculture, and had a peaceful civilization built on trade and commerce.

This was before untouchability and the subjugation of our people.

At Senegal, there will be representatives from other parts of the Ancient African Diaspora: Aboriginal Australia, West Papua New Guinea in the South Pacific. There will be presenters focusing on Blacks in early Europe and Africans in America before Columbus.

Why is such a gathering important? We say that what you do for yourself depends on what you think of yourself, that what you think of yourself depends on what you know of yourself, and what you know of yourself depends on what you have been told.

At this conference we want the Blacks to speak for themselves. We want authentic voices to tell the story of our people.India is one on the most important parts of the Black World. It has a Black population of over 300 million, including the Dalits and Tribals. V.T. Rajshekar is more than capable of telling their story. We are honored to have him among us.

(DV Oct.1, 2010 p.18: "VTR to be star attraction at African world conference")
Sikh leader fears defeat for Brahminism if India confronts China

DR. AWATAR SINGH SEKHON, CANADA

Will there be another confrontation between the Brahminical democracy and China, even after its big defeat under Nehru in 1962.

Under the Brahmins-Hindus (4+11% of the total population of over 1.2 billion) military might is at least 10 times bigger than the Nehru regime.

Indeed it was the worst defeat. The Nehru fiasco took the toll of J.L. Nehru himself in 1964.

Sikh factor: One should not forget and ignore the Sikh factor – the daylight robbery of the divided Sikh nation of Punjab. This Sikh factor appeared when the captain of the Western Command headquarters abandoned his ship before its sinking. This captain was a Kashmiri Brahmin, Lt. Gen. Raina, who was replaced by a Sikh as the chief of the Western Command. In this China fiasco, these were the Sikhs, by and large, who fought with the Chinese soldiers fist to fist in the mountainous region despite their being well prepared and equipped. (Sekhon, Soverignty to Slavery).

Suspicious of Sikhs: The Sikh factor will become a severe headache for the Indian democracy of the Brahmins-Hindus. Have they got the courage to confront China. The Brahmins-Hindus are not only afraid but suspicious of the Sikhs because they are Sikhs and they are law-less people and dangerous to the law-abiding Brahmins-Hindus.

There will be other headaches also. The people of the internationally disputed areas of Kashmir have been suffering for over 63 years. There are other suffers like non-Brahmin minorities of Assam, 7 sisters of Assam, Manipur, Christians, Dalits, Adivasis/Moolnivasis etc.

No Muslim in Army: The armed forces problems are further complicated by insulting the initiated/amritdhari Sikhs not letting the Sikhs beyond the rank of a Major and a full stop in commissioning the Muslims in the armed forces or not giving commission to any Muslim etc. The armed forces chronically lack the leadership. The chief(s) of army have been involved in the cases of real estate irregularity and mistrust along with more than 12% vacancies at the commissioned ranks and there has been problems in the enrolment at the non-commissioned and junior commissioned ranks.

The turbaned Brahmins-Hindus in the Sikh identity have deliberately disturbed the education of the Sikh children in the landless Sikh nation, Punjab. Do the Brahmins-Hindus have the courage to face China? I have the doubt.

Should there be a confrontation, it would be favourable to the non-Brahmin-Hindus. Such a confrontation may wipe out the dreams of the Brahmins-Hindus and their "Indian democracy".

Reports

Babri verdict : India further pushed back

OUR CORRESPONDENT

Bangalore: The Allahabad High Court verdict of Sept.30, 2010 on Babri Masjid cannot be accepted. Because it is based on myths (superstitions) and not on verified historical facts. Can a court verdict based on faith and beliefs that kill science, rationalism, progress? That is why Brahminical forces are naturally rejoicing over the verdict because it has suffered a criminal blow inflicted on the historical rights of Muslims — paving the way to declare India a Ram Rajya. Dr. Ambedkar's fears have come true (DV Edit Oct.1, 2010). We are deeply worried over the future of India that is being daily pushed backward. We have no hope of the ruling Brahminists accepting the constitution of India.
CWG today, India tomorrow

The multi-million dollar corruption in the Commonwealth Games (CWG) leading to India's worst "national shame" is fully blessed by what is described as the country's "honest PM". CWG stands for India and all that it represents. DV has said enough on this subject.

Now, please take our prediction: what CWG stands for today (corruption, chaos, delay, fraud, deceit, shameless defence of all the crimes etc.) will also happen in this Brahminist-ruled India tomorrow. Bahujans get ready.

One Kalmadi destroyed CWG. The Kalmadi collective is destroying our whole India.
CWG chaos exactly like total mess in India

OUR CORRESPONDENT

Bangalore: The chaos in the Commonwealth Games (India), headed by the arrogant Karnataka Brahmin Kalmadi represents everything that is Brahminic India.

The false picture, so painstakingly painted, of "Shining India", "Booming India" is shattered to pieces.

When the whole world is laughing at it, our "Khatri Sick" PM is fully defending it. Not one single of our "intellectuals", who rush to the press for everything sundry, has criticised it. See the Brahminic solidarity.

India suffered international shame. So what? The country lost, "who cares, our man gained".

Except the Times of India, barking at Kalmadi at the behest of Sharad Pawar, the rest of the media is silent. Just as a dog will not eat another dog, have you ever seen a Brahmin criticising another jatwala? Kalmadi is fully backed by his entire tribe. He knows his strength. Neither the all-powerful govt. nor the courts have the courage to touch the Bhoodevata.

When Gandhi was killed by a Brahmin, RSS rejoiced and distributed sweets. Their jatwalas might have shed crocodile tears, but never condemned Godse.

Such is the solidarity. When it rains in Kashmir, the Kanyakumari Brahmin shivers.

This jati solidarity is bent upon taking the country to the World War-III so that the starving Bahujans are reduced to beggars. (Sept.24, 2010).

DV Sept.1, 2010 p.8: "Anatomy of corruption".
Muslims never trusted Obama

OUR CORRESPONDENT

Bangalore: Zionist Jews (2%) controlling the White Christian American can make a President and then humiliate and finally even kill him. This happened with Presidents Clinton, George Bush and now with Obama.

The Black and also the Muslim Obama is also swallowed by the very same forces because the Muslims doubted his honesty which he wanted to see through his June 2009 Cairo speech.

In DV, we got deceived by Obama's rhetorics. But Muslims proved they are better judges. Palestine Muslims don't trust him. Obama is still a prisoner in the hands of Jews who are today driving him to a World War-III on Israel. This war with Iran will involve Russia, China and the whole of Muslim and Black world.

But India controlled by its Brahminist Jews will go with their cousins. It will be a World War-III. DV has said it.
Editor to inaugurate BAMCEF convention

OUR CORRESPONDENT

Bangalore: V.T. Rajshekar, Editor of Dalit Voice, will inaugurate the Karnataka state conference of the BAMCEF in Bangalore on Nov.21, 2010. President Vaman Meshram will preside over the 2-day conference. Meanwhile, BAMCEF has launched the country-wide Bharat Mukti Morcha rallies in 29 states and 500 districts. The campaign is against the betrayal of the OBCs by Brahmin rulers in census enumeration. The rally began on Sept.26.
THE VERY INDIAN SYSTEM IS CORRUPT

OUR CORRESPONDENT

Bangalore: The fence is erected to protect the field. Now, we get the high-voltage shock that the fence itself is eating the field. This shocking revelation has come from an ex-Union Law Minister who named eight corrupt former chief justices of the Supreme Court.

That the judiciary, including the highest court, is not above suspicion is well known. Not only the judges, even the Supreme Court top lawyers.

Shanti Bhushan has named the corrupt CJS and many of them are Brahmins. Corruption is not the monopoly of any caste but the Bhoodevatas are leaders in this field also.
KALMADI CORRUPTION

The whole world is shocked by the Brahmin culprit Kalmadi's corruption in the Commonwealth Games. But we are not.

Because it is not possible in "Hindu India" to exist without being corrupt.

The problem we face in India is we always have different meaning to every act.
DEFENDING MANU'S LAW

When a person is accused of corruption, what we mean is "money corruption". But we have said in our book, India's Intellectual Desert (DSA-1999, Rs. 50) that money corruption is the last and the least dangerous of the four forms of corruption. "Intellectual corruption" is the most dangerous form of the four.

A Supreme Court sitting judge recently delivered in Bangalore three lectures on a working day at Brahminical institutions on different aspects of Brahminical law. And fully defending it. When the country and its SC are governed by the constitution how could this Brahmin judge uphold the hated anti-human law of Manu?
BRIBE-GIVER IS ALSO CORRUPT

Nobody criticised this judge's conduct in defending Manu which is more dangerous than crores of corruption.

There is yet another important side to the "corruption stories" which always get front-page publicity. Why the readers love "corruption stories", like to see corrupt fellows pictures and punished by the law of the land?

An official, judge or a minister takes money. And this is called corruption.

But did we ever think that the "corrupt fellow" took the bribe because it was willingly given to him by the interested party? Then why don't we criticise the bribe-giver? Without the bribe-giver how can there be a bribe-taker? Both are too sides of the same coin.
TEMPLE CORRUPTION

In this Brahminical India there is no single govt. dept., central or state, which is not corrupt. It is top to bottom. Corruption begins from the top. Not the bottom.

It is also wrong to say that corruption is confined to only govt. sector. The private sector is equally corrupt. All private education institutions collect heavy capitation fees — all unaccounted. Private hospitals, loot the patients.

All shops cheat the customers with faulty weighing machines. Drug stores dispense spurious medicines. Taxis and autos cheat people. There is no place without corruption.

What about temple corruption? Yes. The list of bribe amount is displayed at the very entrance. All auditors bribe income tax officers. Traders avoid paying tax. Liquor stores sell adulterated stuff.

Cricket is top to bottom corrupt.

Newspapers and journals resort to all sorts of corruption. If you give Scotch and chicken tikka you will get a good report.
WORST CORRUPT COUNTRY IN WORLD
Every Press Club in big cities get big money from the powers-to be. "Paid News" is the latest corruption charge against the daily papers. Even the Press Commission is trying to hush up the crime.

In another two years newspapers will have to devote almost every page to report corruption stories.

You will be shocked to hear even village voters have started demanding money for votes. That means our Brahminical system has made even the people corrupt.

The top in every branch of the society is corrupt. Those in the bottom are watching and learning. India will then become the worst corrupt in the world.
HARSHAD MEHTA & BAL THACKERAY

Who is not corrupt in India?

Our very system itself is corrupt. Our entire socio-economic-cultural-political machinery has become totally corrupt.

Harshad Mehta was not a govt. servant. Bal Thackeray, sitting on a mountain of money today, too was never in govt. Our Dalal Street Dagalbajis are not govt. servants.

The Kanchi Shankarachari not getting any conviction despite his proven scandals and murders is neither a govt. servant nor a politician.

The whole lot is corrupt. Our very system is corrupt.

The Christian church, the Muslim masjid, the Sikh gurdwaras are not above corruption.
ARMY GENERAL SENTENCED

The No.2 man in the Army is today facing court martial for corruption,. We saw the army corruption in the purchase of coffins when George Fernandes was the Defence Minister.

To repeat: Our very system itself is corrupt — rotten. The "Khatri Sick" PM himself defended CW Games corruption.

What is this system?
GLORIFYING THE RICH

This system glorifies the rich. Ambanis are praised and paraded. They are always front-paged. Why the people "respect" the Ambanis even when they don't pay the tax?

Why the papers always front-page news of "India's richest"? Because we silently admire the rich and would like to emulate them.

Get-rich-quick is the advice given to every youth by the father and mother.

About 20 years ago the parent wished his son to study well and lead a happy life.
HOW TO MAKE MONEY?

Now, this has changed.

The common talk is: "Do you know so and so is doing very well?" What he means by that "wellness" is the fellow has made pots of money. But nobody asks how he has made that money.

Nobody is interested in knowing it. So when the rich are glamourised, praised and paraded, get front page in Times of India, our value system changes. We aim at making money by hook or crook.

But making money is the easiest. You must have no scruples, no principles. Cheat, rob, bribe or take bribe, resort to any means including murder — you become rich. And once you become rich you become the Ambani. Your past is quickly forgotten. And get all awards, rewards. Front-page pictures, TV interviews, Rotary Club honour.

Your wife, mother, father will all love you, run after you only if you are rich.
DESPISED BY FAMILY

This writer is the eldest in the family and yet the poorest. The family is not interested in our intellectual attainments. Who is interested in all this useless things? "All his brothers and sisters live in their own bungalows but this fellow lives in a rented house and always clad in a jungli dress". This is how we are ridiculed.

Look at the value system of the society. It honours, loves, adores only the rich. So the natural rush to make money and be known to the society as a crorepati.

Our value system has changed. It does not give any mark to your character, values, intellectual attainments, your work and suffering for social change. Nothing.
CORRUPTION IS KILLING INDIA

In a temple, no poor man is allowed inside. Only the one who comes in a big car with pots of money to the "god" (meaning the priest) gets the first preference.

The god also respects the rich.

What is the point in blaming the Supreme Court CJs? Poor fellows. They are all victims of the socio-cultural system that governs this Brahminical society.

The whole thing is sickening.

That is why nothing in India is progressing. Nothing in India is moving. Corruption is killing India.

CW Games is the best proof. The whole country has become one vast CW Games village. (See p.3 Edit)

Our entire traffic, railways, police system, banks, education, health system — are all cracking, collapsing.
"KHATRI SICK" PM

The "Khatri Sick" is called India's most "honest PM". But just because he is not taking bribes (we do not know it) does not mean he is not corrupt.

Corruption is not "money corruption" alone. We have explained this in our book, India's Intellectual Desert.

Corrupt thoughts are more dangerous than mere money corruption. The "Khatri Sick's" thoughts itself are corrupt. A World Bank (Jewish-owned) nominee, he is supporting the "Jews of India" blindly. Is it not corruption?

Over 150 stone-pelting students were fired at and killed in Kashmir. Amnesty International has taken serious objection to this action but the country's ruling class is fully backing this PM. Our ruling class is itself corrupt to the core and this corruption is spreading deep into villages. Dangerous days are ahead.

As the PM, he is responsible for every action of the govt. All the actions of the govt under him are in favour of the rich who in India are none but the upper castes (15%). It is only after he took over, more Indians were pushed below the poverty line.
DALIT CHRISTIANS

Money corruption is the last and the least dangerous part of the over all world of corruption.

The church (both Catholic and Protestant) keeping the Dalit Christians (2.5%) out of power is corruption. Syrian Christians dominating the entire North East Mongoloid church is corruption.

Hindu temples not allowing Dalits to enter is corruption.
MARATHA CASTE RULE

Kashmiris not being allowed self-determination is corruption.

Upper caste Muslims opposing separate reservation for Pasmanda Muslims is corruption.

Jat Sikhs abandoning the Guru Granth and taking to Dasam Granth is corruption.

Casteist rule of the Marathas in Mahrashtra, Reddi-Khamma rule in Andhra Pradesh, Brahmin-Kayasth, Baidya rule in Bengal, Brahmin-Nair-Syrian Christian rule in Kerala, Brahmin-Lingayat rule in Karnataka all these are part of the overall world of systemic corruption.

Our whole body itself has become corrupt, diseased. The disease has entered all parts of our body through the roots or shoots and freely transported within every tissue.

Nothing can save this country from this systemic disease. It is sure death.

Eliminating corruption is impossible in "Hindu India". Because the cancer is too deep, spreading its roots all over.
IMPOSSIBLE TASK

What is needed is not a drive to curb corruption but to destroy the very value system that prompts you to become corrupt. But the value system comes mostly from the religion. Who is ready to touch the religion?

May be the Brahminical India will rot, stink and degenerate — until another foreign invader comes and takes over.

China stands a good chance.
We pity poor Advani

OUR CORRESPONDENT

Bangalore: Poor L.K. Advani, the Sindhi Khatri, who did so much and also suffered so much to keep the Bhoodevatas in power, is today the most hated man in the Brahmana Jati Party (BJP). It was he who led the rowdies brigade to destroy the Babri Masjid.

But today there is none with him. The country's principal Brahmin paper, the Hindu (Sept.26, 2010) says it in the headlined itself: "Advani sidelined in Ram temple issue".

Gandhi killed: Did not the same Bhoodevatas exploit the Gujarati Bania to the fullest extent and the moment India got "independence" and he helped install a Brahmin as the first PM, he was shot dead by a Brahmin only? (Why Godse Killed Gandhi?, DSA-1997). And his tribe distributed sweets all over India.

We have said this many times. Never pour milk to the serpent. Kill it. The moment you see it. Those who do not listen to this advice will go the Advani way. His own creation, Modi, has also betrayed him.

But will Advani have the courage to go against BJP and fight the serpents? Never.
Palestine talks fail again

OUR CORRESPONDENT

Bangalore: Peace in Palestine cannot be achieved as long as the zionist state of Israel is squeezing the neck of the Arabs to whom Palestine belongs. That is how the latest Obama-brokered "Peace talks" between the two failed.

Mohamoud Abbas, leading the Palestine side, negotiating with Binyamin Netanyahu, Zionist Israeli PM, is a corrupt Arab whom the Palestinians do not trust. As the US, which is hosting the "peace talks", is controlled by its 2% Jews who love Israel more than Arabs, is headed by the zionist stooge, Obama. What hope can we have in this eye-wash talks which are aimed more at fooling the poor Arabs?

The zionists are forcing Obama to attack Iran to save Israel. If he obliges, it will lead to World War-III.

DV Feb.16, 2009 p.9: "DV proved right on Palestine".

DV Edit Feb.1, 2009: "Blood thirsty zionists can't defeat Hamas".
Secret of India's poverty

OUR CORRESPONDENT

Bangalore: India will not be able to solve its "problem of poverty" even after 50 years of MDG plan. This is the verdict of the United Nations.

But it did not say why.

We have the answer: The people of India are not governed by a govt. There is nothing like a govt. here. The country is governed by a ruling class — comprising its 15% upper castes. We have said it time and again.

India deliberately kept sick: As long as we keep this 15% upper castes as rulers, India will not only be poor and starving but — rotten, corrupt, chaotic and permanently sick.

The rulers want it like that. They are keeping the over 85% of the population, comprising SC/ST/BCs (65%) plus Muslim, Christian, Sikhs (20%) — total 85% deliberately sick and starving — so that they don't think.

And more than that they will not be able to identify the exploiters.

Hundreds of times we have said it.

Hence it is all a repetition.

Who is ruling India: In our book, Who is Ruling India? And How? (DSA-2010) we have said all this.

But what is the use of our book? English is known to only 3% of Indians of which 90% are Brahmins.

The country is collapsing — very fast.

The over-fed, arrogant rulers with a closed mind, fully guided by the Jews in the West, are preparing for a war with Pakistan which will directly put India against China.

That means India will get further impoverished and lakhs of our people will die in the war. Who cares?

UN indicts India

New Delhi: India will take over 50 years to halve its number of starving people due to low budget allocation for agriculture and rising food prices, a global report has said.

"India cannot halve its number of people starving until 2083, nearly 70 years after the Millennium Development goals target date", a report called "Who's Really Fighting Hunger?" said. Around a quarter of the world's population, who are deprived of food live in India and 43% of all children in the country under the age of five are malnourished, the study prepared by London-based organisation ActionAid says.

Perception income

While India's per capita income tripled between 1990 and 2005, the number of hungry people also increased by 53 million bringing the total number of chronically hungry people in India to a staggering 270 million, it says.

According to a score-card mentioned in the documents, out of 28 nations ranked in the report, India got a dismal 21st rank while Brazil and China came first and second respectively. (Deccan Herald, Sept.19, 2010).

THUS SPAKE PERIYAR
Brahmin imperialism in India
HISTORY OF VAIKOM AGITATION
Note on Vaikom

Vaikom is a beautiful small town in the Kerala State. Formerly, it was under the Travancore State, ruled by kings.

Till 1924, the "low caste" men weer not allowed to walk in the streets, near the temple as they would "pollute" it by their walking according, to the evil caste-system of Brahmins.

Thanthai Periyar E.V. Ramasami, the fighter for human rights, and eradication of Untouchability, participated in the agitation to throw open the streets for "low caste" Ezhavas, organised by George Joseph and others. He courted imprisonment twice and won their rights.

Fittingly, Periyar is called the "Hero of Vaikom".

Periyar recalls his expereinces in the year 1958 at a public meeting in Kanyakumari District.

Respectful President,

Ladies and gentlemen,

I was extended an invitation to come over to the Kanyakumari District many times by your comrades. As I was busily touring in other districts, I could not come earlier. Wherever I toured, I found a great awakening. People gathered in thousands.

Ten years ago, I addressed a meeting here in Marthandam. In those days you were citizens of a Native State. You were ruled by a Rajah, where as we were citizens of British Government. Yet we are all "sudras" (heirs of prostitutes). We Dravidians were subjected to humiliation by the Brahmins. It was the outcome of the hoax played on us, we continue to be "sudras".

Today, we are citizens of one country. We are Tamilians of Tamilnadu. We are today brought together. Our unity is strengthened. We are today linked as one family because we are all, now citizens of one country. We have to work together for achieving our ideals as we are all classified under one caste. So far as I am concerned, I led the agitation even some 35 years ago in Tamilnadu to eradicate the social evils particularly the hateful untouchability. For over thousand years we were not allowed to enter some of the public roads. Those who are now aged at least 50 yeas may recollect those days. Youngsters of this generation may not know these things of the past.

If there had not been the agitation in those days, today many of us would not have the right to pass through many of the roads. In those days conditions were very bad in this country. The Government was in the hands of the orthodox Brahmins. The Varnashrama Dharma was in its full sway. In our country, the advent of the non-Brahmin movement, redeemed a number of rights to the Non-Brahmins. The Non-Brahmin Movement successfully combated the Brahmin domination. That Non-Brahmin Movement was popularly know as the Justice Party; named after its journal "Justice".

The Brahmins too had their own organisations as Brahmana Samajam, and Brahmana Mahasabha. They worked against our interests and stood in the way of our attaining many of our legitimate rights. Brahmins were proud of calling themselves as "Highest caste". They insisted on calling themselves as Brahmins. Many law and other sastras too termed us as "sudras" only. What an amount of humiliation and degradation we were subjected to.

If we do not opt for the name of Dravidar Kazhagam or Tamilar Kazhagam, we have to choose only "Sudra" Kazhagam, as the suitable name for our organisation.

That is why, we had to change the name of the South Indian Liberal Federation, later called as the Justice Party, as the Dravidar Kazhagam, to make ourselves known to the world as to who we are. The Dravidians are people of a proud nation, known to the world.

On account of the efforts taken by the Non-Brahmin Movement (Justice Party) in the years 1919 and 1920 and the agitations in Tamilnadu, the right to make use of all roads irrespective of castes we got, not only in Tamilnadu but also in Andhra, Karnataka and Kerala. (To be continued)

White House comes to Taj

Mumbai: President Barack Obama will feel very much at home when he is at the hotel on November 6 and 7.

Apart from the 12-room presidential suite, which will offer him almost the same comforts that he enjoys in White House, three satellites will ensure that his staff can operate exactly the same way as it does in Washington. The satellites will help the staff take any phone call at the Taj which is meant for White House.
The presidential office at the Taj will have 50 people working round the clock in a 'cabinet room', briefing room and a special control room. Obama will be briefed by his staff at least three times every day.
An ultra-sophisticated video conference facility is being created in one of the rooms so that Obama, the world's most heavilyguarded head of state, can hold quick meetings with Vice-President Joe Biden, or the army chief, Gen George W Casey Jr.
The only thing that will be missing from White House is the visitors. White House receives nearly 5,000 visitors every day, but that will not be possible in the makeshift White House as the entry at the hotel will be severely restricted.
While the hotel will be guarded by US security and intelligence personnel, Mumbai police will provide logistics support. Meanwhile, four bulletproof cars have already arrived in the city for Obama's movement.
The US authorities have booked all the 547 rooms at the hotel as well as its banquet halls and restaurants for the duration of Obama's visit to the city. The Taj was at the centre of the Mumbai terrorist attacks of 26 November, 2008.
The security arrangements at the Taj will also be no less than White House. There will be four-tier security, comprising Mumbai police, paramilitary forces, commandos, secret service agents and CIA (Central Intelligence Agency of the US) personnel who will form the inner security ring around Obama.
Besides, the security officials have also carried out a headcount of all the big ships and vessels that will be present in and outside the Mumbai harbour. Their routine movement inside Mumbai Port and Jawaharlal Nehru Port will be closely monitored.
The first casualty of course will be the boat operators on the Arabian Sea opposite the hotel. Police have already issued anotice to the boat operators asking them to stop services from November 5 to 7. South Mumbai, the city's business district, also faces avirtual shutdown on those three days.
White House staff to man Taj
The iconic Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai will be off limits not only for outsiders, but also for most of the hotel's employees during US President Barack Obama's visit. Operations at the hotel will be taken over by White House staff for two days beginning November 6.
Just 10 per cent of Taj's 1,400 permanent staff will be at hand for the guests, comprising the US first family and the rest of the delegation. The hotel will not accept any other guests. The staff will not be allowed to leave the hotel or use their mobile phones as long as Obama is in Mumbai.
The list of employees on duty has already been sent to the White House for vetting. Others have been told to go on paid leave, said a senior protocol officer helping to plan the Obama visit. The US administration has already booked the hotel's entire 572 rooms.

Sources familiar with the developments said all movement within the hotel will be monitored by White House security staff, 25 of whom have been camping at the Taj. In all, 1,600 White House personnel, including intelligence, counter-intelligence and other security personnel, will be accompanying the US president.
The entire precinct around the hotel will become a virtual fortress and an impregnable security net is being cast along the Mumbai coastline. The Indian Navy, Coast Guard and US Navy will jointly keep a close vigil on the Arabian Sea. Steps are being taken to ensure that no unauthorised fishing boats, trawlers, private yachts or other vessels stray anywhere close to the shore opposite the Gateway of India.
The Mumbai police have also started conducting checks on every lodge and guesthouse in and around the area and will screen every foreign national staying there.

The protocol officer said the Indo-US business summit, which will be addressed by Obama, will take place in Hotel Trident's plush Regal Room at Nariman Point. Only 400 handpicked delegates have been invited for the summit and entry for them will be barred after 3.30 pm on November 6. President Obama is scheduled to address the gathering at 5 pm.
Meanwhile, in the run-up to Obama's visit, the US has made it clear that it is looking at India as a larger export destination and that the President will emphasise the nation as a potential market for exports by American companies.
On the nuclear front, while welcoming the signing of the Convention on Supplemental Compensation by India as a 'positive step', a senior US administration officer has said Washington is seeking a ' level playing field' for their companies.
"What we seek is a level playing field for our companies. India leadership has said that's what it wants to ensure, too, and so I think we're making progress," William Burns, Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs said in Washington, ahead of the Presidential visit.

From defence deals to outsourcing and trade, the tenor of the visit is to focus on job creation and business for US companies. A top US official said one of the 'major themes' that Obama will emphasise is India as a 'tremendous market'.
"I think one of the major themes I think that the President is likely to emphasise is that while that is part of the relationship, India is also a tremendous market, potential market, for US exports and a source of investment back in the US," Deputy NSA for International Economic Affairs, Mike Froman said.
Holding that the trade relationship between the countries is 'broadly balanced', officials said Obama's message will stress the "tangible impact in supporting and creating jobs here in America" as business opportunities are opened up in India.

Deshmukh, Rane camps see opportunity, gun for Chavan

Knives are out for Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan — who is facing the heat over the controversial Adarsh Housing Society row — with his detractors lobbying hard for his removal.
Chavan, who is in a power struggle with rivals such as Union minister Vilasrao Deshmukh and sate Revenue Minister Narayan Rane, visited New Delhi on Saturday and offered his resignation to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi.
A senior Congress leader in Mumbai said Chavan, who took over from Deshmukh after he stepped down in the wake of the 26/11 attacks, was already fighting a factional war over the last few months. "They were on the lookout for an opportunity, which they got this time," he said, referring to Chavan's rivals.
Congress workers were also bitter that the party had not taken any action over a string of allegations involving leaders such as Chavan, Pune MP Suresh Kalmadi, MPCC chief Manikrao Thakre and Mumbai Congress President Kripashanker Singh.
The leader said Deshmukh, who has made up with former rival Rane, was trying to return to state politics.
The Deshmukh and Chavan camps have been at loggerheads for a few months. Deshmukh confidant and MLC Ulhas Pawar had raised the issue of why no action was taken against dissidents such as Shalinitai Vikhe, wife of Transport Minister Radhakrishna Vikhe, who had secured office after rebelling against the official nominee.
Shalinitai had defeated Congress nominee Satyajit Tambe, the nephew of Agriculture Minister Balasaheb Thorat, a Deshmukh loyalist, to be elected as Ahmednagar Zilla Parishad president. Deshmukh camp was also livid at no action being taken against Pandit Deshmukh, a supporter of former CM Shivajirao Patil Nilangekar, who defeated Trimbak Bhise to become Zilla Parishad president in Latur. Bhise belongs to the Deshmukh camp.
Later, Rane and Deshmukh had also teamed up to take pot shots at the state government over the police lodging a case against Rane 's son Nitesh for allegedly firing at his associate Chintu Shaikh.
While Chavan's detractors claimed he was losing support and was likely to replaced after US president Barack Obama's visit to Mumbai, his supporters argue he was likely to get a breather with the appointment of the committee.
Moreover, sacking Chavan on these grounds would set a precedent that could be applied in case of other elected representatives in the future.
Congressmen pointed out that even leaders from other parties and the opposition had houses in the controversial building and a number of politicians were said to have recommended flats in the society, which would blunt their edge when it comes to criticism against Chavan.
A legislator close to Chavan said after the media coverage of the controversy dies down, the issue too was likely to be given a quiet burial.
However, in case the Congress decides to replace Chavan, names of Deshmukh, Rane and union ministers Prithviraj Chavan and Sushilkumar Shinde are doing the rounds as among the probable replacements.

Disputed land at Ayodhya belongs to Hindus: Hindu Mahasabha

Ayodhya, Nov 1 (ANI): Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha (ABHM) president Swami Chakrapani has said the disputed Ram Temple-Babri Mosque land at Ayodhya only belongs to the Hindu community.
Addressing a press conference here on Sunday, Chakrapani said: " They are the 10th party in the conflict to file a case in the Supreme Court on the issue.
"Hindu Mahasabha never fights for personal and parochial issues; it fights for the rights of the whole Hindu society. We are the 10th party in the conflict and we have filed a case in the Supreme Court regarding the possession of the land, urging the Apex Court to hand it over to the Hindus only," he added.
He also said Muslims should forfeit their claim on the disputed land.
The Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court had earlier on September 30 ruled by majority that the disputed land in Ayodhya be divided into three parts.
The High Court bench decided to divide the disputed 2.7 acres of land into three parts, with each of the three parties to the suit getting a part of it.
The ownership of the disputed land has been divided as follows: (1) Ram Lalla, the birthplace of Lord Ram, given to Lord Ram (2) Sita Rasoi and Ram Chabootra to Nirmohi Akhara and (3) The remaining part to be given to the Sunni Waqf Board.
Meanwhile, there will be a status quo in Ayodhya for three months during which a petition can be filed. (ANI)
