If we continue to ignore and actively destroy our agriculture and industrialise like the west (for the benefit of Monsanto, Cargill etc), India will fall apart. A civil unrest is only 3 meals away is to be taken seriously and how India has managed to avert that has to do with our foolishness (as mentioned by you). So kindly give the due respect and importance that agriculture (sustainable agricultural practices- not the green revolutionary methods which are not very better off from what Monsanto is doing) deserves.jkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551521522794955284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720071062570496465.post-64617146211825387522012-12-03T01:01:54.332+05:302012-12-03T01:01:54.332+05:30Unfortunately the learne judge has fallen prey to ...Unfortunately the learne judge has fallen prey to the antinational mortives of the british which was long back refuted by many noted hitorians.<br /><br />But im sure the authour my not agree.

The theory of Aryan invasion is not a myth but a fact.... and for gods sake stop telling that europeans planted AIT coz they felt inferior. We were already inferior to them in terms of technology.. our vedic science was good but unfortunately our rulers did not utilise it and neither tried to promote it... which made us inferior to the europeans... the europeans took advantage of this and not some vedas and shastras.... they were business and highly political people armed with latest technologies and strategis they overtook us.....<br />Frankly speaking no culture is inferior or superior.. it is the deed of individual...Our culture i.e. the hindu culture is also just another culture in this world with many cultures and traditions...

Any and every problem is real - and a society is only definable as a society when each problem in that society is solved by dialogues, discussions, adjustments and mature compromises. Bal Thakre (and any other Thakre) was a proponent of extreme and mindless unilateral predetermined VIOLENCE. His solution was rooted not in the brain but in the muscle. And that's why it's all wrong. Good things only happen when the means are good. Bad means only create bad outcome. There's no exception to this whatsoever. Any theory does not deserve any merit as long as violence is the only method of solution the theory applies. It's only when the Sainiks become responsible open-minded brain-enabled civilized citizens that we can pay attention to the theories of Bhoomiputra, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720071062570496465.post-77844512366541266302012-11-30T02:21:11.729+05:302012-11-30T02:21:11.729+05:30I think justice Katju has written a good blog, but...I think justice Katju has written a good blog, but the problem is there can not be more than lakh people at at the last rites of Balasahib out of fear......If u think it is fear....u r in dreams...

You have no comment about the hooliganism that took place on 11.8.2012 at Mumbai. You had shut your eyes. The ministry of Kapil Sibbal had blocked large number of websites and facebook accounts just because they used the word "Bangladesh" and "Pakistani". Sibbal's ministry has not given any hearing to the victims of such blocking. In India websites that speak against Pakistan are banned but websites speaking against Israel or USA are not banned. If this diversity? <br />Mr. Katju, even after your death, I shall find it difficult to pay any tributes to you. <br /><br />Sanjiv PunalekarAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720071062570496465.post-29799244742694917112012-11-28T16:50:48.657+05:302012-11-28T16:50:48.657+05:30While accepting the fact that every citizen is ent...While accepting the fact that every citizen is entitled for his or her opinion, it is very important to view entire history of the person and the country. <br />My focus is limited to the context of tribute. In so far as disturbance of normal life is concerned, be it any body whenever in a democratic set up any citizen's freedom is trespassed in whatsoever manner it is not acceptable. <br />Like on earth there are all types of animals and each one nourishes unique thoughts. A contested balance prevails. Similarly, in democracy all thoughts in the form of variables mature to become moderate and fall in line with democratic principles. All said and done, when entire population believes in democracy it is matter of time that all thoughts, be it fundamentalism, communist, leftist or rightist, any thoughts for matter have to first get treated with principles of democracy only thereafter mature. Based on such maturity democracy can be strong. Otherwise it will be feeble. Untested democracy by apparent variables unique to every society is must for stronger democracy. Like water finds its own level so also democracy. In that context these thoughts have played their fixed roles for democracy to be stronger in India. <br />Every citizen for that matter who has accepted to be an Indian should be respected and tribute on death for spending the life time as an Indian. Sitting in judgment over other's life is very personal to every individual, but respect to human beings, more specifically fellow citizens, should not be subject to such personal opinions.manjunath bangaluruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09238683254360581238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720071062570496465.post-55473693048981172962012-11-28T05:47:32.378+05:302012-11-28T05:47:32.378+05:30mr. anonymous, what you should realise is that mr....mr. anonymous, what you should realise is that mr. Katju has just voiced his opinion through this blog on why he cannot pay his tribute to mr.thackeray as every other celebrity has. he has not claimed that bal thackeray did not have such a right. he just claims that what mr.thackeray said was not conducive to the well being of the country and hence cannot be condoned, at least not by him. you are entitled to voice your opinion too mr.anonymous but the only catch here is that since your argument is bordering on, nay, completely absurd and ridiculous, you in turn shall be ridiculed for making such an argument and people shall also realise how daft you are. if you will realise, even if i was born in africa some 10 years ago but due to my extensive stay in india, i have applied for an become an indian citizen, i shall be entitled to all facilities and remedies as well as rights available to an indian irrespective of the fact that i am not a so called "bhumiputra". a great example of this can be found in our own leader of the congress, madam sonia gandhi. who can claim that she is any less indian than the other? mr.anonymous, it will bode well for you to realise what mr.katju meant in his blog rather than concentrate on the person unfortunately in issue here as he was the main propagator of the concept.babnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720071062570496465.post-89341567470053823892012-11-26T10:07:16.974+05:302012-11-26T10:07:16.974+05:30While I am personally not a big fan of Bal Thacker...While I am personally not a big fan of Bal Thackeray, I do not subscribe to many (if at all any) view you mentioned. Call me non-patriotic or whatever is the term - but facts are facts - I am as a Maharashtrian, culturally different than a Tamil or a Punjabi, which doesn't mean I have to hate them, but the fact that - we don't see eye to eye on many issues - eg. the issues for which DMK fights has got nothing to do with Maharashtra and so is true for what Akali Dal does. (I am not saying that's wrong!! But that's the fact - accept it move on!) <br /><br />Coming back to economic progress - Look around the world - many nations which are of the size of individual states of India have per capita income and GDP many many times India, so the idea of economic progress that you propose is lame at best - Also, it's much easier to deal with a population that is homogeneous, eg. it's easier to align their interest, admittedly it's being done for wrong reasons, but can also be done for right reasons) <br /><br />The whole notion of one nation was overlaid by British (which made sense for them for governing, but I don't see a point in carrying that forward!) <br /><br />So yes, you may not like Bal Thackeray and that is fine - but many of the people who are coming to say good things about him are doing so in 'personal capacity', where he or she was helped by the man in personal capacity (as it happens these are prominent people).

I'm glad that difference of opi...@Arpit Ratan,<br /><br />I'm glad that difference of opinion isn't taking an ugly turn, as it normally occurs on social media platforms and we are able to carry forward this discussion / argument.<br /><br />In the US, every state has it's own constitution and supreme court. The federalism is at a very different level out here. But post 1864 (end of civil war), the federal govt. is the de facto inspector of rules and regulations. The state of Utah has it's own set of rules (quite different from other states), but citizenship rules are the same as others. <br /><br />Let me break down my point about Ambedkar. We all know Ambedkar fought for the rights of weaker sections of the society. We must acknowledge the fact (based on our history and culture) that the weaker sections of the society we in deed weak and mistreated. An affirmative action was needed and he had the courage to stand for the rights of weaker sections, in a civilized manner. Thackeray, let us say, stood for Marathi manoos. Is the Marathi manoos as weak as the backward classes? Definitely not. And was resorting to hooliganism a civilized way of dealing with the situation, probably not? Marathi manoos did not benefit much by this stance, but post 90's when the Marathi manoos started moving to places like Bangalore or Gurgaon, it benefited him more, right?<br /><br />The reason I used the phrase 'agreement by academicians' was to underscore that academicians rely on logic (in most cases) and not emotions. Hence their evaluation is cogent. I didn't imply that I am authority in concluding the right or wrong, because I'm in academics. Your accomplishments are worth mentioning in that regard.<br /><br />I was quite fortunate to be guided by some of the best minds in the world during my educational life. Regarding your friend, as I'm not sure her exact area of interest, I don't want to end up suggesting something that she doesn't enjoy doing. So, if she is interested in being a political analyst academic set up, she will have to contact some of the Universities. If it's a US govt. job, the requirements are stringent and I'm not sure how the work permit thing goes on. Political analysts can also get hired in private firms (especially political economics kinds). Academic career may not be most lucrative, unless one is ready to wait for years.<br /><br />Some of the senior faculty members suggested me that it's better not to give any scope for controversy till I get tenured. Hence this anonymity (though it's not a rule), I'm being cautious. <br /><br /><br />@Suyash<br /><br />Kind of you to address by title, though I don't expect people to do so. <br /><br />No one could argue with your first para.<br /><br />See, the point is, not all immigrants are into illegal activities. There are cases when they indulge in the acts that you have mentioned, but the reason is not their state of origin, but poverty. Many immigrants to the US (legal as well illegal) indulge in illegal acts. US govt. can nail them down, but they don't. Because discipline without humane touch isn't hallmark of a progressive society. <br /><br />I do hope immigrants realize that they get opportunity in a wonderful city and hence they should mix with locals and behave more ethically. Maybe with time and better economic situation, things may improve. <br /><br />Yes, once the person is gone, nothing really matters. Wish his followers don't emulate his extremist stand and put poor people under threat.<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />PS: For a change, enjoyed writing to people on social media.<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720071062570496465.post-68348295450705666812012-11-25T15:46:06.441+05:302012-11-25T15:46:06.441+05:30Honourable Sir,

The thackeray family (and their likes) have nothing else but there own political agendas when they did whatever they did.It was not out of love for poor people. I look at them as terrorists who have entered the mainstream and have created a facade.And what good have they done. They drove away opening of Institutes like IIM and ISB in Bombay by putting forth ridiculous demands for reservations for Marathis. Why do we need reservation for Marathis? Are they anywhere close to being the minority? They drove away many flourishing industries from maharashtra. Many industrialists now keep their distance from the state just because of these Shive-Sainiks.The list is long but I think I have made my point. All these new institutes and industries would have meant increase of employment for the poor people.<br />My apologies if you think all of these and many more as "a lot for the poor person in Mumbai".<br /><br />Regards<br />A Non-Marathi MumbaiiteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720071062570496465.post-76371783112319569062012-11-24T10:56:14.860+05:302012-11-24T10:56:14.860+05:30* Corrected last para *

I am glad that you are okay with di...@Arpit Ratan,<br /><br />I am glad that you are okay with different point of views. Differences don't imply mocking or ridiculing someone. Yes, every US state has it's own constitution as well as the state supreme court. But the only national level ids are SSN and passport (Citizenship). State have autonomy (federalism) but quite a few things are uniform. Post 1865 (end of Civil War), the federal govt. is the de facto policy inspector. <br /><br />Let's look a little into the Ambedkar argument you present. We all know (by our history and culture) that the so called Backward Classes were mistreated (possibly even now get treated badly in some places). Fighting for them makes sense (based on John Rawls' book, A Theory of Justice). Of course in today's times it does create some unfairness, but could be put up with, considering it as an affirmative actions (like here too for the African American communities, there is some affirmative action). Maharashrians cannot be branded as weak section of India. So, when someone makes a normal section of society falsely feel weak, there is a bigger agenda. Immigrants from South India (Whom Thackeray fought against) were more into white-color jobs and deservingly got hired. Now a days, the poor people from some north Indian states do those jobs, which ordinary Maharashtrians would probably not prefer to do. So, why create Xenophobia? He has done some good job as well, otherwise he couldn't be what he was. But he could have done larger good, but he failed in that. <br /><br />And I used the term academicians, purely because I believe that people in academics go by logic and not emotions. I'm glad that you have good accomplishment. That statement was not to put you down.<br /><br />Regarding some suggestions for your friend, as I am not exactly aware of her specific interests, I may not have specific suggestions. But she could look to work at some University (to begin with), and do some work. Once track is established, it would be easy get into jobs at UN or maybe political party. Honestly, Political Science does not have big funding, like other sciences. <br /><br />The reason for me to not openly air my views is not because of rules, but to avoid possible controversy. Some senior faculty has suggested me that I better maintain a low profile till I get tenured. Just playing is safe.<br /><br />@Suyash:<br /><br />Your points seem very reasonable. But what I feel you are missing is a larger point. There is a strong possibility that immigrants to Mumbai may not be law abiding. This shouldn't be attributed as, North Indians don't have ethics or something of that sort. It's the poverty that makes it difficult to enforce discipline. Over some years, it may change. And I agree, nepotism exists in a big extent and that hurts the talented people. I wish people were more ethical. I even agree that BT had some correct stands as well. But he could have played a more constructive role in developing Mumbai. <br /><br />On a personal note, I have like participating in this debate / discussion, because we have resorted to logic and baseless allegations. Difference in views are always a healthy sign in a developing society. <br /><br />Cheers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720071062570496465.post-1717128741262827772012-11-24T03:00:21.972+05:302012-11-24T03:00:21.972+05:30Bravo, Bravo and Bravo.I hope that there are hundr...Bravo, Bravo and Bravo.I hope that there are hundreds of Millions like Katju in IndiaMUTTAQUEEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17556603539011132427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720071062570496465.post-87538142803821208492012-11-24T00:22:16.579+05:302012-11-24T00:22:16.579+05:30@Justice Katju Sir,
