NGOs, Activists & Foreign Funds: Anti-Nation Industry
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The Vigil book notes the presence in the country's National Advisory
Council of a member "who, for well over a decade, is on a foreign
payroll - a huge and steady monthly income disguised as an
advisorship" (p.134). He's still there. Who is this mole, oops,
member with access to inside data of our government's plans and
policies?
Will our Nehruvian-secular government reveal from where have been,
over the last 10 years, the primary sources of income of its NAC
member Dr AK Shiva Kumar?****
But why should the government do so? Its prime minister (the de jure
one) himself has close foreign links - and this is not about just his
foreign pension equivalent of Rs 2.5 lakhs a month (
http://www.hvk.org/articles/0504/104.html ).
Take the National Foundation for India - NFI ( http://www.nfi.org.in/
,
data from its website as on Aug 22, 2006) that, set up in 1992,
calls itself "a non-profit making charitable trust". Its first listed
aim is "to raise funds both nationally and internationally...". Donor
information is only till 2002-03, and donation amounts only for
2002-2003. We are now in 2006. Its international donors include the
Rockefeller Foundation (amount not stated) and the Ford Foundation
(USD 100,000); its national donors include a number of government
departments It has a colloboration since 2002 with ASHA - Stanford
(donor amount not stated), and had "partnered" the post-Godhra Aman
Charitable Trust, Delhi, giving it Rs 3,30,000 in 2002-03 to keep
going till, in expectation of FCRA clearance, the latter could receive
USD 100,000 from the Ford Foundation. The Aman Charitable Trust,
notwithstanding all that money, does not appear to have its own
website, though the NFI tells us it "was set up by a group of eminent
peace activists...with the objective to work proactively towards
conflict resolution through research, workshops and advocacy". The
Aman (Public?) Charitable Trust also received USD 6,750 from the
America-based Association for India's Development (AID) in the
category "Peace Efforts" (
http://www.aidprojects.org/ngos-view-1.asp...275&login=guest ). It
is not an unreasonable assumption, given the Aman name (Vigil, p.136
), the America-connection, so much American money and so much peace
activism, that one of the "peace activists" involved is Harsh Mander.
The Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, AID, ASHA, Harsh
Mander, all illuminate the pages of the Vigil book.
So where does our prime minister (the de jure one, remember) link into
all this?
Note the trustees of the National Foundation for India, as listed on
the NFI website, Aug 22, 2006:
Mr Kiran Karnaik (Chairman)
Dr M S Swaminathan
Mr N Ram
Dr Manmohan Singh MP
Ms Sayeda Hamid
Ms Patricia Mukim
Mr P Sainath
Ms Anita Rampal
Prof. Andre Beteille
Ms Malika Sarabai
Mr Deepak Parekh
Representative: The Ford Foundation
Dr Manmohan Singh, MP. That's right. Dr Manmohan Singh, PM. In
company with other distinguished Nehruvian secularists and all of them
in company with the representative of the Ford Foundation. All of
them trustees of the National Foundation for India. You and I, aam
admi, wanting to meet our prime minister, may not even be allowed
within hailing distance of him. The representative of the Ford
Foundation (a foreign institution actively engaged in influencing our
country's politics - Vigil, p.27) sits with him at the same table,
helping him receive foreign money to dole it out within the country.
And, fellow Hindustanis, the NAC and the NFI are just one instance
each of our country's de facto prime minister and our country's de
jure prime minister as links in the web of NGOs, activists and foreign
funds that is an anti-nation industry.

Shiva Kumar's wife! Yup, the same Shiva Kumar with inside access to
national data. Must make for interesting pillow-talk between husband
and wife.
