Are these the conditions in Punjab ?


A fb message. The sender has asked me to delete his name

Sir,

I request you to comment on whats happening in Punjab.

Our CM is not just CM, he is biggest businessman of the state. From hotels, factories, buses to land acquisition to everything, he is involved. He would ask for stake in every successful running business otherwise he wont let them do business. Punjab's youth is being destroyed with drugs and total unemployment. Government's higher education is just for formality, middle class families are forced to pay huge fee eg in MDS there is only 1 seat for general(fee 1.5 lakh) and ~60 seats in private college(fee 6 lakh), even after paying huge fee salary of MDS doctor is 20k and there are no jobs for BDS doctors. Middle class families are forced to take huge loans. CM just doubled his salary and halved the salary of doctors. Why no one see how Badal sarkar is exploiting Punjab and ruining lives of people. Why Modi ji keep on saying beti bachao beti padhao when he doesnt know whats actually happening states with such CM's ?

Justice P.Devadoss of the Madras High Court


 Recently there was a lot of controversy about Justice P.Devadoss of the Madras High Court who ordered a case of a rapist and his victim to be sent for mediation, evidently to see whether the victim would marry her rapist.

 I myself think the Judge should not have sent the case for mediation unless both parties wanted it. In the case in question the victim has resolutely refused mediation, and has refused to marry the man who raped her. Hence the order sending the case for mediation was clearly uncalled for.

 Perhaps realizing his error, the Judge, in a subsequent case where a grown up man had raped a 4 year old child, upheld the 10 year sentence awarded by the lower Court, calling the accused a 'vulture'.
 I remember P.Devadoss when I was Chief Justice of Madras High Court ( 2004-2005 ). At that time he was perhaps the Principal District Judge of some District Court in Tamilnadu.

 He was a legendary Judge, having the highest level of integrity, so much so that he had prohibited several relatives who were in politics from entering his house, as he did not want anyone in Tamilnadu to think that he was allied or close to any political party or politician. I had a very high opinion of him.

 I am saying this to request the public to forgive him for his bona fide mistake, and move on. Such Judges of such high integrity are becoming rare now.

 Lord Denning, the celebrated British Judge once said " The Judge has not been born who has not made a mistake ". Critics of Justice Devadoss should ponder over this statement.

Ahmedabad has disgraced the nation


If this story, sent to me by a fb message, is true, Ahmedabad has disgraced the nation. The sender has asked me to delete his name :

Jun 30th, 4:51pm

I was on internship at Well Stimulation Services, ONGC, Ahmedabad, and was excited about the internship because of ONGC and Ahmedabad. It was going to be my first time in Ahmedabad.


 I reached Ahmedabad, and liked everything, like ONGC, Ahmedabad city, etc. The weather was perfectly fine. Me and one of my college frnd, A Saxena, took a flat at Visat chawraha, adjacent to ONGC. The owner, 65 yrs aged, stayed with his wife. He was very nice and supportive. 2-3 days passed and everything was smooth, until he came to know that I am a Muslim.

From that very moment everything changed, he was no more nice to us. He started scolding us at everything like wasting water n all, talked nonsense and still we ignored. 2-3 days passed this way. Finally when he was done with all his nonsense and truth came out of his mouth, he called my friend Saxena and told him directly "dekh Saxena Tera dost Muslim hai.. Is colony me Muslims allowed nhin hain.. Colony waale jaan gye toh kya bolenge..".

These are some of his statements. My poor friend Saxena, from a good family background, being a little unaware of these communal hatreds and differences took him lightly and never told me. 2-3 more days passed when the owner couldn't resist his anger and called me finally at 1am night. He told me "dekh ---, Teri saari hoshiyari nikal jayegi. Over smart nhin ban.. Yeh Tera UP nhin hai.. Yeh gujrat hai Raat-o-raat gayab ho jayega pata bhi nhin chalega.. Samaan tak nhin wapas le ja payega Ghar.."And I was like "what the hell happened to him.. What's my fault?" but still seeing the conditions and taking care of his age I managed to ask him politely "I am a Muslim and it can't be changed.. What do you want me to do?".

 Then he spoke his mind, which he should have said at the time of giving us the flat to avoid all these insults "leave the flat.. Muslims aren't allowed in this colony" then I remembered remarks of my father when I told him about my internship at ONGC, Ahmedabad which is "arey Ahmedabad me toh badi dikkaten hotin Muslims ko"..Then I realised how right he was.

I left the flat at that very moment. Stayed with my other college friends illegally. Searched for another flat/room but the same response "we don't give rooms/flats to Mohammedans".. Tired of all these.. I left Ahmedabad on my ninth day of internship.. Joined Institute of drilling technology, ONGC, Dehradun. Dehradun, a beautiful place with awesome people with awesome thinking.
Ryt now m in Dehradun, happy.

But when I look back I can't decide who's fault was that.. Mine? Coz I was born in a Muslim family.. Or the landlord's? I don't think so Coz he was a nice person until he knew my name.. I still wonder "WHO'S FAULT WAS THAT?"

P. S: Modiji is right in building "Statue of Unity" at Ahmedabad.. Ahmedabad really needs unity.

Bhagat Singh.

No wonder that the Britishers set up the statue of their running dog Gandhi in London, instead of setting up the statue of their enemy, my hero Bhagat Singh, who really fought against them
 Long live Bhagat Singh, may he shower his blessings on the Indian people from heaven
Shame on the traitor, the loyal British agent Gandhi

An Appeal to all non Muslims to observe roza on 4th July


After discussing with many friends in the Bay Area in California, I hereby appeal to all non Muslims all over the world to observe one day roza on Saturday, 4th July as a token of respect for and solidarity with our Muslim brethren during the holy month of Ramzan.

 The exact time before which sehri ( breakfast ) must be taken, and of iftaar,( the time in the evening after which alone dinner can be taken ) may be ascertained from some Muslim friend. These timings change by one minute every day, and must be strictly observed.

 I may mention that in India for several years I have been keeping one day roza during Ramzan. The wife of my friend Asif Azmi, who is like a younger brother to me, telephones me very early in the morning when it is still dark and informs me that the time by which I must do my sehri is approaching, so I quickly eat some bread and drink a lot of milk and water, because I can have none thereafter till the time of iftaar.

 This year I will have iftaar at the residence of a Muslim lady in Fremont, California, USA  with a group of about 25 others, Muslims and non Muslims. The lady has very kindly consented to have the iftaar at her residence, and provide food for all of us.

  The other non Muslims can form groups and have iftaar at a place of their choice on 4th July.

 Please note that you must not eat or drink after the time of sehri is over, and before the time for iftaar. This is absolutely crucial.

 If this succeeds, it will be a historic step at removing misunderstanding between  different communities. When Navratri begins, I will appeal to non Hindus to keep one day fast during that period.

 It is clarified that by keeping one day roza a non Muslim does not become a Muslim, just as by keeping one day fast during Navratri a non Hindu does not become a Hindu. It is just symbolic of showing respect to other communities

You don't mess with people from Allahabad


 When  the Houses of the Indian Parliament hurriedly passed unanimous resolutions condemning me for my statements about Gandhi and Bose, perhaps thinking that they had done a great deed ( and perhaps their only deed, since they hardly have any meaningful debate or transact any meaningful business in the House, with all the shouting and regular disruptions ), they overlooked one important fact---that I am from Allahabad.
 And you don't mess with people from Allahabad.

Most Indians are asses and sheep


Alexander Hamilton ( 1755-1804 ) was Chief of Staff to Gen. George Washington in the American War of Independence. He later became Treasury Secretary in President Washington's Cabinet.
 During the War of Independence he wrote from his headquarters : " Our countrymen have all the folly of the ass, and all the passiveness of the sheep. They are determined not to be free ".
 The same can be said of 90 ( or is it 95% ? ) Indians . I often say that they do not have brains but gobar ( cow dung ) and bhoosa ( straw ) in their heads.

A Rebellion now and then is a good thing


Thomas Jefferson ( 1743-1826 ), who became the Third President of the United States of America  wrote to a friend :
" A rebellion now and then is a good thing. It is a medicine necessary for the sound health of a people. God forbid that we should ever be for 20 years without such a rebellion. The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure. "
The tree of India has been without any manure since 1857. No wonder it is shrivelled and gnarled

It takes all types to make the Indian Judiciary


This story was told to me by a young Brahmin friend of mine ( let us call him Z ) belonging to the U.P.Judicial Service :

 There was once a division bench, i.e. bench of two Judges, in the Allahabad High Court, one of the Judges, Justice X, being a staunch, orthodox Hindu Brahmin, and the other Judge, Justice Y, being a non Brahmin Hindu.

 There was an important case before them in which the question was whether on a certain site stood an ancient Hanuman temple, which had been demolished by the Britishers and a Christian church built on the same. The prayer in the petition was that the church should be demolished , and a Hanuman temple built on the site.

 Now this Justice X, though known to be very honest, had some very interesting traits. Some of these were :

1. He was a confirmed bachelor, and he had a young servant, who was also a Brahmin and a bachelor. Justice X had told this servant that the day he got married he would be sacked.

2. He would cook his food himself, in the old traditional style, using wood, not a gas cylinder or stove. For this purpose, he would wash the wood himself one day, and the next day ( or the day after ), when the wood was  dry, use it for cooking.

3. In his house there was a line beyond which only Brahmins were allowed to enter.

 One day my friend Z visited Justice X, whom he knew intimately, at the latter's residence. Being a Brahmin himself, Z had entry even into the sanctum sanctorum.

There he asked Justice X what would be the fate of the case he was hearing ( about the site of the alleged Hanuman temple ).

Justice X said " The land belongs to Bajrang Bali, and it will always belong to him "

 Z then said that the other Judge, Justice Y, had made oral observations during the hearing in Court that he was not satisfied on the evidence that there was any Hanuman temple on the site.

 To which Justice X retorted " Woh duratma hai. Bhogega apne dushkarmon ka "

 And sure enough there was a split verdict, and now the matter is before a Full Bench of 3 Judges of the Court.
