Bhagat Singh- The Man who made the Deaf Hear!

On this very day (28th sept) nearly 104 yrs ago a most remarkable person came into being. Bhagat singh truly noblest of freedom fighters there is. He read too much for his age from marx,lenin,the gita to urdu poetry, was an atheist & possibly commited the most sacrilegeous of acts a sikh can do by shaving of his beard and cutting his hair for the sake of the revolutionary movement. Singh thoroughly deplored of “Gandhian pacifist Ideology” according to him it would all “

replace one set of exploiters with another

“ a very visionary statement indeed. We have been all too soft on every tom dick and harry utterly giving a whole different dimension to the famous sanskrit adage 'vasudhaiva kudumbakam' ,the Indian subservile mentality which has bowed down to every imperialist there is starting from the turks,arabs to the british has been successfully carried forward by the man termed 'Mahatma'. I for one only admire Gandhi like Hitler just for his charisma as a leader and his persona & conviction to convince more than 500 million people and make them dance to his utterly erroneous philosophies the core of which is called “Ahimsa”

Ahimsa-The misplaced notion
Ahimsa or non-violence supposedly originates from Hindu ideologies. But in Hinduism upon careful scrutiny Ahimsa only means non-violence to animals, other beings and importantly one's self thats right! Self Defense was completely allowed in hinduism and we see from mythology that war in terms of need and violence to restore order or in self defense was a Dharma. Abhimanyu who slained hundreds of soldeirs in the 'Chakra-vyug' was a martyr , Arjuna who was reluctant to wage battle against his brothers was reminded of his duty to restore order by Krishna,Krishna,rama waged battles against hordes of demons who came to destroy their cities.

There is just no reference just no reference which says Ahimsa needs to be practiced when one's family is enslaved or killed, when people(friends,neighbours) are plundered, women raped and children massacred,and draconion laws are imposed.This is precisely the connotation of Ahimsa given to us by Gandhi. He distorted the very Hindu essence of ahimsa into “Impotence”.Take this quote about Kurukshetra battlefield by Gandhi-

an allegory in which the battlefield is the soul and Arjuna, man's higher impulses struggling against evil

He misled hordes of his countrymen and proceeded to sacrifice thousands and thousands as pigs for slaughter to the british. Bhagat did not tolerate all of this he knew this whole notion of non-violence was a huge mistake and aptly took revenge when a veteran congress leader Lala Lajpat rai was brutally beaten to death in front of him . Bhagat wanted killing for justice,honor and self defense like any true Kshatriya warrior of ancient Hindu time.When he famously threw a bomb into the legislative assembly in 1929 it was to make “the deaf hear” in other words a desperate attempt to bring back all of the misled indians. Some heard it indeed and those that heard were the later revolutionaries who would join the INA of Netaji Bose as one organisation.Thats Why its safe to say Bhagat was the "foundation" of it all.

OK?!So who got us the freedom then?It was certainly not Gandhi, the british did not fear the Indian National Congress it was too soft a body for them. British could still live with all the non-co-operation, hunger strikes, boycotts without any alarming damage but they feared the rising force of the INA which though was a relatively insignificant force under Bose had instilled deep fears in the mind of the British by its patriotic exploits in WWII in south east asia against the raj. According to Clement Attlee, the British Prime Minister, reflecting on the factors that guided the British decision to relinquish the Raj in India, is said to have cited the effects of the INA and Nethaji's activities on the British Indian Army and the Bombay Mutiny as being the most important. The INA was gaining widespread support among the British Indian Armymen and the british fearing a catastrophical mutiny cum backlash withdrew from the Raj. Only our History books give Gandhi and his entourage complete & undue credit forgetting the Real hero Subhash chandra bose.
Read Climax of Independence movement-INA
If you ask any person alive from the independence era in Malaysia, Burma or any part of malay peninsula they still believe that Bose single handedly got India her freedom! Where the facts swallowed up by the Congress & Muslim league for Political benefits? Congress which has an inherent “Soft core” ingrained from its 'false ahimsa' times has gone onto create and nurture pakistan,terrorism & corruption,bureaucracy in the name of governance.

Hunger strikes and Hazare:

Hunger strikes have become publicity grabbing stunts. Bhagat singh fasted for as much as 100 days in prison demanding decent amenities for Indian political prisoners on par with european prisoners breaking all the hunger strikes record then.In this age of democracy(supposedly) its highly impractical to fight corruption in RDB or "Indian" Kamal styles and I have no qualms about peaceful protests or hunger strikes taking its place. But the media's projection that Anna Hazare's culmination of fast as victory for India against corruption is worrying. This should be seen in the perspective of what it actually is, agreed the awareness the fast has generated against corruption is tremendous. It is still a long long way off from the Hoo haa the media is doing merely for its TRP ( am sure they ll move away into other things soon). There is serious misgivings on whether the Lokpal bill will first get implemented as strong as it is warranted and that will be the first step in a long arduous battle and India must focus on getting this done.

I prefer Sept 28 to Oct 2 and a trip to n Museum Khatkar kalia
is high on my agenda and not Porbandar nor Raj ghat.

Legend of Bhagat singh

From the diaries of 'Chi-damn-bram'

we are at that juncture again ,staring at the polls not far from now and it is high time we list out the several achievements that this govt has successfully meted out and the several challenges we ve managed to scale.Surely the Grandest of em all will be the conclusion of the historic ground breaking N-deal with the US with the govt spending every ounce of its entire 5 yr term solely dedicated to this and successfully withstanding a massive no confidence motion in the process against all odds.The revoking of the 'draconian’ POTA law is right up there as well,it was being grossly misused and even more importantly preventing people from expressing their true spirit..we must first salute the solidarity and spirit of the people of Ahmedabad, Delhi,Jaipur,Hyderabad and Bengaluru who remained unruffled in the face of repeated acts of cowardice.The abolition of POTA thereby gives more such cities that opportunity to express their 'spirit' and, perphaps show the perpetrators of violence that a few serial blasts will not affect normalcy in any way ..The fact that all these cities were up and running barely hours after the blasts is testament to that spirit and character

The most people friendly budget in probably the last 10 yrs was also rolled out this yr..The loan waiver will no doubt be a huge relief for the farmers and the rural sector in general and go a long way in preventing the plethora of suicides in many parts of the nation, that farmers owning more than 2 hectares of land will not come under the purview and hence Vidarba farmers –r missing out is largely unforeseen and ironical, but plenty to cheer otherwise.Fears have gripped the market with crashes in the investment banking sector- post 'subprime' crisis, but I assure you that Indian banks are completely under control after all we have pumped up adequate liquidity and yeah the bear is changing to bull.. we are definitely getting there ..

We have always believed that safeguarding the minority interests s paramount and so am unable to understand as to y the failure to contain the communal violence in Orissa and Karnataka ,both saffron ruled states are being attributed to us?(we are after all jus in the centre),the fracas over Amarnath issue was also another political blame-game and nothing more.

The threat of the DMK MPs to resign if the govt doesn’t look into the srilankan tamils issue is completely justified (even though one suspects this threat has come a lil too late) we cannot question y they remained mum for the last 4 yrs to rake up this all of a sudden coz after all v cannot afford to lose em like the communists(political dharma remains intact )

Yeah 'chandrayaan' has a probe for checking water in the moon meaning the water pbm of the aam admi per se s taken care of long term..

Diwali is round the corner, so wat does one expect ..??

A Bomb in the closet possibly...Nah not joking ..

Parallels,Plagiarism,Parodies

Antonio Borgia,was a 15th century bishop of spanish descendent who gradually rose up the ranks to become a powerful pope,he was instrumental in the rise of Borgia family..and did everything jus everything in his discretion whether morally accepted or not ,whether legal or not to ensure that his family enjoyed power and prosperity..he even groomed his sons to hav a second line of successors ready, to carry on the family-hold over the Romagna after his demise..HoweverAntonio's calculations proved futile, for the Borgia clan eventually collapsed into oblivion under the weight of their own dirty work ...Generations after the tainted Borgia era continued to discuss and debate the several felonies and taboos attributed to them including charges as extreme as incest..Some 500yrs hence, their memories r still kept afresh and immortalised in puzo's 'the family'.. now striking is the parallel between Borgia and the karunanidhi family,though the latter's crime-record is kept concealed it wont be too long bfore we r exposed to thousands of their frauds ,for justice and good will eventually prevail over evil and the Borgia family is a stark remainder to all on where corrupted power will lead to...
Even as the literary world is engrossed in the tussle to eliminate plagiarism in the wake of "How opal mehta got kissed and got fucked.." and 'HOLY BLOOD AND HOLY GRAIL' controversy , on a very minor note i happen to see shades of Dominique Francon in the character 'silvia' in sujatha's new"ganesh and vasanth" series in vikatan..
i dunno if these parallels and resemblances r true or am jus seeing things .
the more i see the 'Simpsons',the more tempted i am to echo a need for our own parody show certainly there is no dearth of contents here for producing a parody tv show,star vijay must soon contemplate starting a similar show which am sure will b smashing hit..i mean if they can ape 'laughter challenge' ,'kbc' and' koffe' programmes surely they can do a 'simpsons' too.. only 'thuglaq' and vivek seem to hav mastered the art of parody here and it is obvious tat ppl jus love parodies.

who's the dunce?

Tamilnadu's much adored octagenarian has retuned to power ,and barely days after assuming power the junta's problems r getting solved for the better.Free tvs seem to b the panacea for every possible ill and rural ppl now actually get to watch SUN tv programmes!
which they would'nt imagine in thier remotest dream..wat if a majority of households lack power-supplies they ll still get the tv coz "v dont backtrack on our promises" says the
DMK ,"watch away ur worries" is their mantra..Free stoves will b given away in the forthcomin days promises the party high-hand and if u happen to wonder how the folks can afford a stove wid the LPG price sky-rocketing then u r being overly sceptical..the IT corridor will get a
much needed fillip wat wid the resurrection of 'kannagi statue' in the pipe-line..
farmers who still owe large debts wid the landlords can now look forward to state sponsored co-operative loans... the ppl hav given a decisive mandate in favour of the DPA ,and thier stances r getting clearly vindicated..our hearts go to the hapless "Lok Paritran" contestants
who lost thier deposits,certainly they were not aware of the existing 'rule of thumb'i.e only
the three F's (Filmstars, family politics,free goods)succeed in TN[i hav no clue as to how the old MGR songs still do the trick for ADMK in the country side],perphaps they'll (lok paritran)come
better prepared 4 the next assembly election which is another 4 years away definitely time-
enough for some to foray into kollywood ,mayb not sufficient to raise a family
though,...but ya there is a semblance of hope .
The anti-reservation dharna is another terrible waste of time and man-power,only thing the medicos in delhi and elsewhere hav achieved is a certain contempt for supreme court's order banning strikes,they must take a leaf out of their Engineering peers in TN who hav long remained mum and will continue to tolerate and wid good reasons too since most of them hav benefited immensely from reservation..but
then wat about merit? ah who needs merit its a pile of crap..
however jus one realisation has dawned: wats the point in IIts and AIIMS being the premiere institutes in the country if they r producing political dunces?!..
