Aaj Ki Aawaz
If in Mecca Islam faced a situation of the same kind!
Every Muslim, fanatic or liberal,  would have literally gone ‘out of his or her mind’!!
 
 
Owasi says ‘ Muslims may have lost a battle but the war can still be won’!!!
Problem with Islam is it feels in religiosity it’s the only one!!
 
This is the root cause of Islam becoming a ‘global pain’!!!
This is because their version of Islam is the true Islam Mullahs feign!
 
A Kafir is one who does not believe in God but Mullahs have their own take!!
Kafir is one who does not believe in Allah and a Kafir into a believer a Muslim should make!
 
And to achieve this use of force is justified!!!
As per Mullahs Islam cannot be defied!!
 
Other religions preach followers to be tolerant!!
But as per Mullahs it is a virtue to intolerant!!
 
This Verdict gives Muslims what they would not give in their Holiest of Holy shrine!!
So Muslims on this verdict should stop ‘shedding brine’!!
 
They’ve got more than they would ever give!!
Islam does not believe in ‘believe and let believe’ in the spirit of ‘live and let live’!!
 
You have pseudos saying ‘Muslims should give Hindus in the temple building a hand’!
Now the next point of friction is going to be a Masjid coming up on the allotted land!!
 
 
The wolves are out!!!
‘It is not a judgment based on legality’ is Mulayam’s shout!!
 
Laloo too should have the same take!!!
He’s calculating his M and Y votes and then accordingly a statement he’ll make!!!
 
Jaitley feels only a Neta should head the group of interlocutors… why?????
His argument that Netas are flexible and fit for this sensitive job no one will buy!!
 
Unsuited for the this job as colors every minute they tend to change!!
In fact from the Valley Netas ko karro ban and see the change!!!!
 
Shiela Aunty says she was shocked when she saw the CWG Village a few days back!
In her own way kiya Aunty ne Kalmadi ko attack!!
 
Now Kalmadi, Aunty and Gill will disown one another!!
Any other chaara…… no other????
 
Kalmadi is hoping our Athletes will do the Nation proud!!!
And then thumping his chest he’ll say aloud!!!
 
‘The athletes succeeded because of OC’s work’!!!
If he does this many would join me in saying ‘ what a lying and thieving jerk’???
 
Confucius says……. The Nation has been badly let down!!!
Who are responsible….. Alibaba Kalmadi and his Chors, (Shiela) Aunty 420 and Gill the Clown!!

Mulayam Naa Mayawati!

The Congress should not lose its identity completely by becoming a follower of either Mulayam Singh or Mayawati. Indian politics has thrown up some very comic situations. This is one of those, where the Congress which has been in the lead role is in two minds even in turning a follower! What happens when a political party plays petty games of communal or caste politics over ideology of secularism and casteless politics, should become clear to top politicians. This is also a direct result of hypothecating ethics of governance to corruption. The Congress can not and should not exonerate itself of the blame to lead the country into such a messy situation. It is not as if the Congress was corrupt and others were honest. Contrary to any such notions, the dirty communal and caste politics was practiced by the leftists in the beginning, just to find foot boards in various states in the country. Leftists had no popular appeal. Their appeal was limited to the educated, who came under the charm of the leftist rhetoric. They were mesmerized by words like revolution, progressivism etc. To match this appeal, political parties found religion to be the right plank to make their moves. It helped them organize, since India was centuries away from modernity till it was shaken rudely by the imposition of emergency. In those early years of our republic, corruption suddenly became the choicest punching bag and threw up many individual leaders, who seemed to promise a corruption free government. The word corruption in its Hindi form of "bhrastachar" had the appeal that no other political idiom had. While it was enchanting to hear people and parties hit bhrastachar hard verbally, seeing it in actual practice broke the spell !!! Hamam mein sab nange! These occurrences kept the Congress continuously under stressful spells, necessitating compromises after compromises on ideology and ethics. So from Nehru & Shastri, the journey has come upto...The interesting part of all these developments is that the Congress constituents started splitting away from the umbrella organisation floating new parties(M & M etc are born of that stellar evolution). In the process they also took away the ideological ground of the mother party in their own way: a kind of revolt against what was called the dynastic rule! The Congress account continued to be depleted in the process. No less was the Congress choice of Governors and CMs. Still worse was the choice of the party Presidents! What can the Congress gain by entrusting the party to people who are derided and ridiculed? There is no question of winning any election in UP or Bihar if this slave dynasty is not replaced by people of sterling Congress qualities. Only strong state satraps can bring Congress back to clear mandate to rule at the center. Rest of it is plain bargain(bound to destroy whatever little remains of the party). Unless the Congress gains enough confidence to go it alone, it has no future. M or M is no option!

Sixty years and the verdict is out

A judgement of 10000 pages. Actually three different judgements may take months or years to read. One wonders whether it is a judicial pronouncement or an attempt to maintain communal harmony. Whatever way one looks, the three judges have done a fine job. No displacement for Ram Lalla idol. Partitioning of the disputed land among the three parties means that no one is left out. The wise and ideal course would be to accept the verdict. Here is a chance to show we are all brothers irrespective of the religion we follow. What long-lasting goodwill it can create if Muslims help in building a beautiful Ram temple and Hindus help in building the mosque some distance away. If Sunni Waqf Board decides to go in for appeal to the Supreme Court the matter remains where it was all these years. Another generation may pass and the dispute continues having the potential of stoking communal fires. Let us wish better sense prevails in the interest of national integration.

Huge loss to Indian Media

The exaggerated publicity given by the media for about a fortnight about Ayodhya Verdict and expected riots thereafter, has failed their expectation. Result : huge loss to the media. In fact, they had reserved prime hours for related news for about a week and peace all over India has left them without work as they had not planned to cover any other news during this week. But all beware; it is Indian media – having more interest in creating news than giving publicity to actual news. From yesterday’s media coverage it was noticeable that most of them were perplexed as to what to ask the panelists as the questions prepared by them were irrelevant now (no riots, no backlash etc)(I am sure they would have posted their men in hospitals, police stations, fire stations, temples and mosques). Still, it appeared they have not lost all hopes. Many of them, including Arnav Goswami and Barkha Dutt appeared excited while asking Ram Lalla supporter panelists as to whether they would allow Muslims to built mosque on the one-third area allotted to them by the High Court, at the same time not asking panelists from other side, whether they have any objection Ram Lalla temple being built now. Intention is quite clear. These media persons appeared hell-bent on this particular issue and tried their best to make a non-muslim panelist to comment that they would not allow the mosque to be built. Unfortunately, there too they failed. What I have concluded is that more than the politician or the religious communities, the irresponsible media is the rotten fish in the beautiful pond, called India. They do raise certain issues of national interest but the percentage of such issues is less than 20% and those scoring less than 20% overall are considered ‘below average’ if not ‘poor’. I want all the responsible panelists as well as the viewers to understand the real intention of these media trial specialists and instead devote that time talking to their family members which they have been wasting in the studios so far. This would not only bring the family together but also keep many diseases like the dreaded Alzheimer away from them.

“ India at the cross- roads !!!”

Deputing a Parliamentary delegation to Srinagar to appease Kashmiri separatists proved infructuous. Worse, MPs visiting Geelani’s home as uninvited guests, brought humiliation to India. The delegation returned empty-handed, disillusioned, frustrated and disenchanted. Further, despite a comprehensive package announced by HM, Geelani remains un-impressed. As if the pique was not hurtful enough, he felt no qualms in making an appeal to all Kashmiris to stop sending their wards to Schools and colleges. What is his motive? Does he want the Kashmiris to remain un-educated so that his perceived supremacy continues perpetually? The obduracy of Mirwaiz, Geelani and Mehbooba Mufti for achieving nothing short of autonomy (an euphemism for independence) for Kashmir has been emboldened by these unsolicited talks. The PDP is an untrustworthy and dicey party. All separatists parties including PDP and their indoctrinated supporters addressing their country as like a foreign country is most reprehensible. The Law of the land prescribes severe punishment for separatists who have taken India for a ride for over six decades.
Let the separatists see through their minds’ eye Pakistan’s ultimate motive of annexing Kashmir instead of vacating POK, for ultimate gifting it to China. Events are overtaking India very fast. China’s growing aggression and assertiveness, of late, towards India must be must be nipped in the bud. China has no business to terrorize India by having balance of power through Pakistan. Has India ever staked its claim publicly to one lakh Sq miles of its territory forcibly occupied by China during the 1962 war? Is its silence taken as implicit approval by China? This emboldened China to stake its claim on Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Ladhak, North-east region. India’s continuing weak foreign policy towards its regional rivals China and Pakistan, will disturb the balance of power in the entire South-east Asian region. The situation in Kashmir is highly volatile and could slip out of hands. There is a need for coercive intervention by India to thwart infiltration and terrorists’ attacks by its regional rivals. India is not capable of maintaining balance of power (balance of terror for China-Pak axis)with its two belligerent neighbors. The USA that considers itself as the Conscience keeper of World peace (Read as “World Inspector”) and boasts of healthy bilateral relations with India must step in forthwith to maintain a stable balance of power in the south-east Asian region. As a professional lawyer, Obama,a great pal of Dr MMS, is reported to be only a promising President of USA. This is of no use... He must also learn to take concrete actions.
The forthcoming ASEAN summit being hosted by President Obama on the sidelines of UN General Assembly at New York must be utilized by India to rake up the heightened security threat to it. After Kashmir fiasco, India must be more vigilant against China and Pakistan.
