in my point of view every one should think before performing any action.actually ram dev baba incident it just a political incident.rss and bjp supporting ram dev baba that why congress kick them out
Quote: Good article.. but there is one thing we have to remember.. [color="#0000FF"]the indian government, which itself is a large corporate had already destroyed the rich diversity of indian crops and cows.. for eg, tamilnadu alone had more than 2000 varieties of rice, all of which are lost.. these are not even preserved even in TNAU.. Luckily international rice institute in phillipines had samples of all varieties, and now TN agri scientiest are requesting them for the samples of old indian varieties.. Same for Cow.. there were more than 200 varieites of Indian Cattle (Called Bas Indicus).. today, we could see only HF varieties or its hybrid... In TN, the native cattle breed is at the verge of extinction, and the Veterinary university has no idea about it.. I searched for the native variety specific to my area, only to find that one of the remaining few is sent for butchering..[/color] The root cause of all problem is centralisation, and usurping of local autonomy and governance.. it doesnt matter to me, whether its walmart or a reliance fresh.. both do the same damage.. There has to complete change in the pattern of thinking.. i have written my random thoughts in my blog.. http://psenthilraja.wordpress.com/2011/1...within-us/Says it all really.

Quote:FDI in retail: Back to Champaran
Sandhya Jain
06 Dec 2011
A profit-sucking corporate food chain; contract farming and mono-cultivations displacing crop diversity; farmers reduced to bonded labour of 21st century clones of the East India Company ââ¬â such will be the face of Indian agriculture if we let the UPA impose the disastrous policy of FDI in retail.
It is unbelievable that a regime could be so divorced from history as to foist upon its people the sufferings that blighted the lives of Champaran (Bihar) farmers barely a century ago, when the British forced them to grow indigo instead of food crops, and monopolized the production, marketing and profits of the expensive dye.
This dictating of the terms of ââ¬Ëfree tradeââ¬â¢ is the essence of colonialism, and the world is once again facing this menace. Libyaââ¬â¢s Muammar Gaddafi lost his power and his life only because he wouldnââ¬â¢t sell his nationââ¬â¢s oil at the price determined by western multinationals in order to maximize their gains at the expense of the Libyan people. Saddam Hussain of Iraq met the same fate for the same reason.
FDI in retail will devastate the Indian economy. There is no merit in the claim that consumers or farmers will benefit from multinationals (or even Indian corporates) establishing monopoly control over the retail sector. Even FDI backers do not claim there will be jobs for the 44 millions of small retailers and hawkers thrown out of business. Anyone who has observed the so-called sunrise industries in the past decade will notice there have been few jobs with salaries and benefits. Instead, thousands of youth across the country were lured to rake in customers and profits for the corporates, in lieu of small incentives, which made the work extremely exploitative and tedious.
There is a chant about ââ¬Ëelimination of middlemen,ââ¬â¢ as if that mystically translates into value addition and lower prices, and as though middlemen performed no legitimate role in garnering remote farm produce to city tables. It is a canard that large corporates alone can bring better technology and inputs through contract farming; how much did the old zamindars invest in agriculture, and what did they leave the farmer? Equally specious is the argument that corporates will reduce wastage by investing in infrastructure; they will build cold storages to enhance monopoly control over national food supply. What we need is village level cold storages, run by solar power or other forms of alternate energy to make them viable.
Instead we get gigantic duplicity. First the state needlessly monopolizes everything in the name of public good, giving us decades of wasted growth, corruption, et al. Then it mindlessly sells huge public assets at throwaway prices ââ¬â in the name of ââ¬Ëefficiencyââ¬â¢. But when the crony capitalists say they canââ¬â¢t run the electricity grid or the airlines despite getting the best routes at the expense of the national carrier, they are not re-nationalised, or allowed to wither away. Instead, the government tries to put public money into their pockets. The economy has become a ping-pong ball between Government and Corporates.
Government knows FDI in retail will give multinationals direct access to local farmers, and put farmers at the mercy of MNCs which will get control over the food chain. The MNCs will dictate terms of contract farming, supposedly to guarantee purchase of farm produce and ensure quality. Actually, they will impose ââ¬Ëexclusiveââ¬â¢ contracts to debar farmers from selling to other agencies [bonded, not free trade], and acquire monopoly control over the entire produce at prices consistent with their profit margins. In Jaipur, a multinational firm clinched a lucrative deal with 250 egg wholesalers for supply of 5 lakh eggs daily, with the stipulation that they no longer sell eggs to retailers. This puts the humble hawkers who sell eggs at street corners out of business, while doubling the price of eggs at large malls.
Similarly, ââ¬Ëquality controlââ¬â¢ gives MNCs the right to reject the produce. More dangerously, it gives them the right to dictate the seed, crop, fertilizer inputs, etc. Thus they can, Champaran-style, force farmers to switch from food to cash crops, and by dictating the fertilizer or pesticide, ruin the fertility of the fields.
Several studies have shown that the switch to cash crops enhances the risk to the farmer (recall the cotton farmer suicides), while the need to buy their own food affects the familyââ¬â¢s nutritional standards. Also, over time, corporates tend to favour certain types of crops to maintain commercial viability; this leads to a preference for staples like rice and wheat and shunning of nutritious grains like ragi, maize, millet, bajra, which affects crop diversity.
An aspect of intrusive farming is the credit extended to farmers by MNCs, the terms of which could aggravate default and farmer suicides. FDI in retail allows MNCs to transfer all risk of production to the unprotected small farmer, while keeping a tight control over profits. This could cause virtual bondage, as happened to opium farmers under the British Raj.
A corollary to the emphasis on corporate culture as the growth engine of the economy is disrespect for street hawkers who are integral to the urban food chain. Even as governments bend backwards to provide real estate to large corporates, or to housing projects for the rich or middle class, there is icy indifference to the poor. This manifests in a growing disinterest in providing housing for the poor, and a cussed determination to disallow street hawkers from selling their wares. Drives to destroy their produce by flinging it on the street or carting it away in municipal vans are relentless; recently hawkers have been driven away from Sarojini Nagar, Delhi, where they were so intrinsic to the shopping experience that regulars did not know what to do without them.
To clinch the argument about FDI and farm incomes, consider that until 1950, the average American farmer earned nearly 70 percent of every dollar spent on food. In 2005, this declined to 3 to 4 percent, though it should logically have risen with the elimination of middlemen. Only, the large corporates purged the chain of intermediaries and creamed off all their profits; the farmer remained at the bottom of the pile. FDI in retail can only help Western multinationals that have saturated their profits in their existing turfs. But why is the Indian government willing to push the farmer and retailer into the whirlwind?

Assam: Mass migration has been reported from Assam, following Communal riots between native Bodo tribals and Illegal immigrant Muslims from Bangladesh. As latest reports comes in Thousands have fled their home and atleast 30 people have been reportedly killed and many injured in the ongoing riots in Assam border. Thousands are wounded and many villages have been set to flames. In recent years, Hindu and Christian tribes have begun to give vent to strong anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim sentiment against Bangladeshi settlers.
[color="#800080"](Christians convert-or-killed Hindu Bodos similarly. What's the difference? Hindus should just point the islamists to the christian terrorists. Let them just cannibalise each other. Hindus can then deal with the victor.)[/color]
As Police could not contain the violence, Army and Para Millitary forces have been called in.Curfew has been imposed in the area and shoot at sight orders have been issued. The violence was sparked on Friday night when [color="#FF0000"]Jihadis killed four Bodo youths.[/color] The violence which started in Kokrajhar and Chirang districts of Assam has spread to Bongaigaon district.
On Monday afternoon, hundreds of Jihadis carrying spears squatted on the railway line linking Guwahati to New Delhi. They had stopped and attacked Rajadhani express, demanding the release of Jihadis detained in connection with the killings of the four youths.
Assam's chief minister Tarun Gogoi itself told that about 30,000 villagers have fled their homes and taken shelter in relief camps, but local officials said the numbers were at least twice that.BJP today decided to send a fact-finding team to the state to ascertain the reasons that led to the clashes.

24/07/2012 19:28:49 Congress responsible for infiltration of Bangladeshi Muslimsi
Infiltration of Bangladeshis into Assam was encouraged first by Muslim League in order to make Assam a Muslim majority state and to attach it to Pakistan. Subsequently, congress Chief Ministers like Moinul Haque Choudhary and Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed encouraged it in order to build up congress vote-banks and also to make Assam a Muslim majority state.
After the Assam agitation, Indira Gandhi passed the Illegal Migrants Act, 1983,(exact name longer) under which the burden of proof was placed on the complainant. The motive behind this act was to place a veil on the illegal migration activity. This act applied only to Assam while remaining India was covered under Foreigners act. A few years ago, the supreme court struck down this Act and then the Congress Govt. at the centre amended the rules made under the Foreigners Act and again tried to legitimize the illegal migration. These rules have also been struck down by the supreme court.
I appeal to the knowledgeable HK readers to prepare a detailed note on the subject of illegal migration into Assam as most Indians are ignorant about these behind the curtain developments.

Temple boards in Kerala have received a letter from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) seeking details of the stock of gold in their possession, a temple board official said Thursday.
Speaking to IANS, a top official of the famous Guruvayoor Devasom Board said a letter has been received from the RBI seeking details of gold stocks it holds.
"I have passed on the letter to the managing committee of the temple, as all policy decisions are taken by the committee," the temple official, asking not to be identified, said.
The majority of temples in the state comes under the five different Devasom Boards, of which the Travancore Devasom Board is the biggest, with the famous Sabarimala temple falling within its jurisdiction.
Regional Director Salim Gangadharan of the RBI, speaking to IANS, confirmed that a letter has been sent, but clarified: "The RBI has no plans to buy gold, and this exercise is nothing but part of a statistical exercise."

Quote:Detect the christian hand - same as in ancient Rome
Rome, 4th century:
'The most effective way for Julian to further his cause was to do all he could to ensure that the worship of the Gods was firmly linked to the material prosperity of the Empire in the minds of his subjects. That, above all, was what Constantine had done for the Church. Behind the success of his reforms had stood the brute force of money.135 Vast sums were spent on the building of basilicas, and there were grand endowments of land to the Church. That land, moreover, was to be exempt from tax. Clerics were excused the burden of costly public offices, even personally subsidized. There were food allowances for Christian widows and nuns. To pay for it all, Constantine looked to a source of funds accumulated over centuries: the huge treasure house of precious metals lying to hand in the ancestral temples. PAGANS, IT HAS BEEN NICELY SAID, HAD FINANCED THEIR OWN DESTRUCTION. 136 Julian's most pressing task in this connection was to do the same in reverse, to restore the temples as the perceived focus of public beneficia at the expense of the Church.137
A clear step in this direction came as early as 4 February 362. An edict decreed that temples of the Gods that had been put to improper use should be rededicated, and that those which had been destroyed by the Christians should be rebuilt at the Church's expense.138'
[The above's an excerpt from the excellent book "Julian's Gods" by historian R.Smith]

..BABA RAMDEV's PASSPORT STAMPED WITH INVISIBLE RED ALERT NOTIFICATION BY INDIAN IMMIGRATION AUTHORITY
Heathrow immigration indicate that there was an invisible notation in Baba Ramdev's passport, visible only by computer scanners, It is this which prompted a RED ALERT ALARM Apparently, such red alerts signify terror alert or a drug warlord. This what led to his eight hour detention at LONDON HEATHROW AIRPORT.
On arrival he was asked to report to the authorities the following day at 2 pm, exactly when Swami Vivekananda's 150th anniversary conference was scheduled to commence. A decision had been evidently taken to deport him on a 3.15pm Air India flight back to India.
The organizer of the event became suspicious when he did not emerged from the Immigration where according to information he was detained under suspicion of BEING A TERRORIST.
MEERA, the Labour MP for Hounslow East London summoned Hon. Keith Vas, Labour MP who is Chairman of the Home Office Select Committee. It took him eight hours to get the matter resolved. It is reported that Keith Vas spoke to many responsible individuals including the Home Office Secretary at the PMO.
Mr Vaz demanded the postponement of the immigration interview with Baba Ramdev to 4pm because he knew there was a 3.15pm Indian Airline flight on which Baba Ramdev might be expelled from the UK. Labour MPs who helped were at Brighton in UK for the Annual Conference but rushed from there to help. Subsequently Baba Ramdev was released. Baba Ram Dev was extended an invitation by the MPs to their residence for discussion on the issue. The immigration office, previously was firmly shut to Baba Ramdev's supporters, including lawyers, was immediately opened. Vaz unceremoniously demanded the instant return of Baba Ramdev's passport as well as all his seized leaflets and personal diary, which happened within 5 minutes. UK immigration also granted a 2-year multiple entry Visa to Baba Ramdev on his own initiative.
[color="#0000FF"]THE QUESTION EVERY INDIAN NEED TO ASK WHO IN INDIA IS RESPONSIBLE TO INSTRUCT INDIRA GANDHI GANDHI AIRPORT IMMIGRATION OFFICIAL TO DO SUCH AN ACT. THE FORIEGN MINISTER SRI SALMAN KUSHID , THE GRIHA MANTRI ( HOME MINISTER) AND THE PMO TO ANSWER.
Baba Ramdev said on live TV, that, he was carrying a book which had the details of BLACK MONEY stashed in Swiss and other off-shore Bank accounts, including branches in UK, which is estimated to be in the region of $1.6 trillions. He said it is A WELL-KNOWN fact that Smt. SONIA GANDHI (ANTONIA MAINO) AND HIS SON RAHUL GANDHI ( RAUL VINCI) together has over $20 to $30 billions BLACK MONEY stashed and spread throughout the world, mostly in Swiss and Itallian A/cs allegedly with branches in London.
THE Daily Mail in London which has a long history of fighting corruption is very much interested in this matter. I wonder if they can or their investigator could carry out an thorough investigation as for the REAL reasons of Baba Ramdev's detention.
THE NAMES OF THOSE WITH FOREIGN ACCOUNTS WAS RECORDED IN THE DOCUMENTS HE HAD, WHICH IS NOW IN THE POSSESSION OF UK BORDER AGENCY AND OTHER AGENCIES INCLUDING SCOTLAND YARD.
HOPE THE BRITISH NEWS PAPER WILL BECOME ACTIVE IN THIS RESPECT. AND INVESTIGATE.[/color]

Fwd: Why Baba Ramdev was held at Heathrow Airport for questioning
---------- Forwarded message ----------

Subject: Why Baba Ramdev was held at Heathrow Airport for questioning
To:
Dear All,
This is to confirm that Heathrow immigration indicated that there was indeed a notation in Baba Ramdev's passport, visible to their scanners, which prompted a red alert. Apparently, such alerts signify a drug warlord or terror suspect. This is what led to his eight hour detention immediately on arrival and insistence that he report to the authorities the following day at 2 pm, exactly when the Vivekananda 150th anniversary conference was scheduled to commence. A decision had been evidently taken to deport him on a 3.15pm Air India flight back to India.
The sweet little Asian thing who first interviewed him had no idea that there was a someone called Baba Ramdev, clearly a worthy product of Britain's comprehensive education, notorious for ensuring ignorance and illiteracy!
UK immigration relented following decisive intervention from the Rt. Honourable Keith Vaz, MP, Chair of the Home Office Parliamentary Select Committee, who spoke at length to immigration officials (his wife is a senior immigration expert) and berated them roundly! He also spoke to the Home Secretary and 10 Downing Street. Keith Vaz subsequently accompanied Baba Ramdev to Terminal 5 at Heathrow, having extended an unprecedented invitation to Baba Ramdev to visit him at home to discuss the situation. Mr Vaz also demanded postponement of the immigration interview with Baba Ramdev to 4pm because he knew there was 3.15pm flight on which Baba Ramdev might be expelled from the UK.
The immigration office doors, previously firmly shut to Baba Ramdev's supporters, including lawyers, was immediately opened. Vaz unceremoniously demanded the instant return to Baba Ramdev's of his passport as well as all his seized leaflets and personal diary, which happened within 5 minutes. UK immigration also granted a 2-year multiple entry Visa to Baba Ramdev on its own initiative.
Baba Ramdev was to be met by Jesse Jaskson at the airport in the US because of concerns how US immigration would react to the alert in his passport. He left last night after a hugely successful conference at which Shri Venkiah Naidu was also present.
Thanks,

Dear Friends,
The information that it was suggested to Heathrow immigration that Baba Ramdev was a 'terrorist' is confirmed, but I wish to check the supposed markings in his passport to convey such a message. I have asked to see his passport, when I meet him this afternoon.
On reflection, it seemed to me unusual that anyone in Delhi immigration would actually leave behind physical evidence of such an outrage, which therefore merits verification. However, all other facts are verified, some by sources, including the British Home Office that UK Muslim groups were incited to lodge a protest about the presence of a 'Hindu extremist' in the UK.
Baba Ramdev was evidently poised for deportation, which was halted because of the personal intervention of Keith Vaz, MP because as the chair of the parliamentary Home Office Select Committee. He was at the press conference after Baba Ramdev was allowed to remain in the UK.
Thanks,
ddddddd

I spent the afternoon in Heathrow with Baba Ramdev. The critical reason for UK immigration seeking to deny him entry to the UK (though they relented when MP Keith Vaz, Chair of the Parliamentary Home Affairs Committee arrived to intervene) originated in Delhi. Delhi immigration had stamped Ram Dev's passport with a code that designated him a terrorist. It is the equivalent of an Interpol Red Corner notice. He was held for 8 hours and then required to attend another interview with UK immigration exactly at the time the conference was scheduled to begin the next day.
There were Muslim protests against him that were evidently instigated by the Congress party as well.
Baba Ramdev was only able to attend the Vivekananda 150th anniversary celebrations for its final ten minutes, after which the venue needed to be vacated. But he gave a really great speech to the 800 people who had waited patiently for 4 hours.

Quote:Ramdev blames Sonia Gandhi for his detention at Heathrow Airport -CNN-IBN ââ¬â Updated Sep 22, 2013 at 03:49pm IST
Yoga guru Ramdev on Sunday targeted Congress President Sonia Gandhi by holding her responsible for his detention at tye Heathrow Airport. He was allowed to go ahead with his programme in London after he was detained and questioned on Saturday.
He said, ââ¬ÅA foreign origin woman sitting in India was behind my detention at the Heathrow Airport.ââ¬Â He was detained and quizzed by customs officials for over six hours on landing in Britain.
According to sources, his questioning by airport officials was related to him travelling on a visitorââ¬â¢s visa instead of a business one. Ramdev arrived at Heathrow Airport this evening with British Indian MP Keith Vaz to meet the chief immigration officer.
The immigration officer later gave Ramdev leave to enter the UK lawfully and carry on with his programmes. Emerging from the nearly 20-minute meeting, Ramdev claimed the Indian government may have had a hand in his detention. ââ¬ÅIââ¬â¢m sad to say that our government did not support us. Iââ¬â¢ll wait for all the details but what happened indicates that the UK authorities may have been misguided by the Indian government. I believe a red alert was attached to my name,ââ¬Â Ramdev had said.
Earlier, the yoga guru had told reporters he had ââ¬Ånever done anything unethical or wrongââ¬Â. He had said, ââ¬ÅI have been travelling to the UK and the US for eight years and I have never been treated the way I have been treated this time. ââ¬ÅSince Friday, I have been asking the UK officials to tell me what my fault is,ââ¬Â he had said.
Ramdev had further said he had followed all rules and visa conditions of the British government. ââ¬ÅI would only expect that the way we respect the UK, they will show India and Indians the same respect. Iââ¬â¢ll accept whatever they decide.ââ¬Â He is in Britain to chair a series of ââ¬Ëyoga shivirsââ¬â¢ and talks organised by the Patanjali Yog Peeth (UK) Trust.
The UK Home Office refused to comment on what it described as an individualââ¬â¢s questioning over immigration issues. Ramdevââ¬â¢s spokesperson S K Tejarawala had dismissed reports that he was detained for carrying some medicines. ââ¬ÅHe was not carrying anything with him except a small bag of personal effects.
It is for the British authorities to explain why he was detained,ââ¬Â he had said. His detention had been criticised by the BJP which urged the Centre to intervene. BJP President Rajnath Singh termed the detention of the yoga guru as ââ¬Åseriousââ¬Â issue and asked the Centre to take cognisance of the matter.

Quote:Inhabitants of Aranmula being Denied Rights to Live: Kummanam Rajashekharan
09/10/2014 11:52:49 HK
The state government's decision to sell Aranmula's roads, streams and ponds to KGS Group is equivalent to denying the inhabitants of the heritage village, the right to live, said Kummanam Rajashekharan.
ââ¬ÅThe government has shown the least of inclination in distributing the surplus land of 232 acres in Aranmula, to the landless people here. But there is great deal of enthusiasm in handing over the same to giant corporate ventures. If the government plans to hand over roads, streams and ponds, which cater to daily needs of people and which people use on a consistent basis for day to day needs, we would lose our basic rights and freedom as citizens, which will deny us freedom and rights to walk, have our shelter and have access to drinking water. The aim of the company is to sell land, all in the name of constructing airports and make spurious profits, which cater solely to their selfish interests,ââ¬Â said Kummanam Rajashekharan.
ââ¬ÅThere is a mammoth scam behind the government's intention in selling streams, ponds and roads. The company had illegally filled in streams and rivulets, which are government property. The High Court had issued directives to get the same removed. But the government, through sly moves, plans to thwart the HC directives. The motives behind handing over of the land to the company, instead of distributing the same to landless people definitely have ulterior motives,ââ¬Â stated the convenor of Aranmula Paithruka Grama Karma Samiti.
ââ¬ÅA petition has been submitted to the central government to conduct a high level inquiry to investigate the matter, which is being indulged into by the state government, overlooking the report furnished by CAG,ââ¬Â added Kummanam Rajashekharan.

While the change in religious demography in Assam is indeed worrying, one should also take a look at the changes happening deep inside India. I live in Vijayanagar, Bangalore, about a decade ago there was no muslim population in Chandra layout (a neighboring layout) but today it is almost turning into a Muslim majority area. Question is where are these non Kannada speaking Muslims coming from? . One more thing to note is the difference between a very old Muslim settlement located about less than half a kilometer from my house and the new Muslim locality in Chandra layout, while the former is fairly well rooted in the local culture and has number of Hindus and Hindu temples amongst them, the latter looks totally foreign. We are now seeing the slow creep of Muslims into our area. Thats not the end of the story, there is a subsequent rise in muslim gangs hanging out in our areas and what earlier used to be a 5 times a day prayer call from one direction has now turned into a 5 times a day surround sound torture of their azaan. And this is happening in one of the oldest parts of Bangalore.
If this can happen in a fairly well developed area in the heart of a very old city, I only dread what Hindus in border areas are going through.
