Quote:New Delhi, June 4: Baba Ramdev was taken out of Ramlila grounds in a late-night crackdown by police who fired tear gas and dismantled the stage at his protest venue, hours after the Centre accused the yoga practitioner of reneging on a deal to call off his fast.



Around 3am, Ramdev’s whereabouts were unclear but the Delhi police commissioner said he had been taken to a safe place. Police sources said he would be taken out of Delhi. But the government clarified that he had not been arrested. Section 144 was imposed in the area.



Earlier, Ramdev’s supporters formed a human chain around him. The police fired tear gas as the crowd threw stones.



The police were reported to have withdrawn permission for Ramdev’s yoga camp.



At 7pm, minister Kapil Sibal had held a news conference and released a written undertaking given by Ramdev yesterday to end his protest. Sibal then issued a veiled warning: “If we can reach out, we can also rein (him) in.”

The Government of Kerala is well within its Right to shut down the operations of any industrial entity that has been degrading its Environment and affecting, adversely, the health of its people - including those owned by the Government of India.

To get it re-opened the Government of India needs to appeal with the High Court and may be later at the Supreme Court.

The resultant legal battle would sensitize the citizens of India and another peoples movement would erupt to force the

Central Government's policy on the production and usage of Inorganic Insecticides & Pesticides - which have been eroding our digestive and auto immunity system and also giving us many permanent health problems, through contaminating our food and water chains.

We have seen that mere hunger-strikes and other Agitations do not move the juggernaut of the Government Policy Making Mechanism which has been bought out by the money bags.

India should draw lessons, the most obvious being ordering a whole Government review of existing capabilities, threats and opportunities and future forces to cope with the challenges. The Indian Army is engaged in an ad hoc transformation which is ‘uplinked’ with the other two services. The Indian Air Force and Navy’s numbers of aircraft and ships have gone haywire as their long-term re-equipment plans never materialised due to bad planning and funding support. Consequently India is already the world’s biggest importer of weapons and will spend $ 100 billion in the next decade.



Britain has cut costs and capability through a defined review mechanism. India is to boost military capabilities which must derive from getting the character of future conflict right without dissipating resources on the fashionable ‘full spectrum of war’. Identifying critical missions and affordable risks must come from political foresight, good generalship and deft diplomacy. We must not duck the review at any rate.

Strategic expert Subrahmanyam dead

Quote:NEW DELHI: Renowned strategic expert K Subrahmanyam, whose recommendations in the aftermath of Kargil conflict led to a revamp of the country's intelligence network, died here today following a heart attack.



Subrahmanyam, 82, is survived by his wife, three sons and a daughter. He was suffering from cancer and diabetes but his end came after a heart attack, family sources said.



. . .

Like numerous other societal problems of India

its marriage institution also suffers on account of unenforceable or unenforced laws. India is well known among all democracies to have the most farword looking laws but they all suffer from the same affliction: inability of the government to make laws which are enforceable.



A proposal ought to be considered which enforces a civil law applicable to marriages of all Indians no matter what color, caste or creed they are from. Existence of special marital laws for hindus or sikhs may continue but a new marital system ought to be developed which not only helps people but ends all kinds of problems such as child marriage, dowry system, polygamous marriages, family violence, child abuse, and control of family size.

Even the recent controversy of Khaps which object to marriage within a village and or within a goter may end.



Any two consenting adults (even of the same sex) may marry but only when they obtain a licence to get married from the marriage bureau. This bureau would have an office in every district and it would issue the licence to those couples who are of marriageable age after obtaining their blood samples. Although the couple would be free to marry (within six months) either from a pandit, a sikh priest, a Christian priest or a maulvi, or civil marriage, but they shall under go counselling in personal sexual relations, family planning, sexual diseases, responsibilities of children etc. for three days arranged at the marriage bureau. The officials of various religions shall be duly licensed and required to issue a marriage report (a copy of it would be sent to the Marriage bureau) to the couple after conducting the marriage ceremony.



Within 30 days after the marriage has been solemnized the married couple would, after providing a statement of the gifts exchanged and costs incurred, obtain the Marriage Certificate from the Marriage bureau.



It would be advisable that Marriage Bureau is in a separate building containing not only a registrar of marriages but suitable premises for a civil marriage and a wedding party as part of it. This office could also include: marriage counselling, marriage tribunal dealing with separation and break ups of marriage, certification of

Births & deaths.

This is to focus on the problems faced by the rural muslim woman in the Kashmir Valley, their Aspirations and “Way Out ”, so that a bright, and a prosperous future is seen as a ‘REALITY’, which then can help in containing the ongoing crisis in the valley to some extent.



“REMEMBER” Woman is a backbone of any strong society. She is a source of constant support and motivation to the entire family. She is timid, soft and sweet and bears more pains then men.

Ø Compulsory posting of health educators and health workers in each and every remote



village in the valley.





OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE



OPTION – I



Ø J&K State Govt with the help of central aid takes up this “CORE” problem i.e. addressing by providing them the basic living amenities so as to lead a comfortable and content life, thereby, making a positive impact on the male member’s psychology, this will in long run help in improving the present situation in the crisis torn valley.



or else



OPTION – II



Ø The Army takes over the responsibility to address this core issue through its ongoing “ Op Sadbhawana”. TA Bn (girls) be raised by the Central Govt wherein, the enrolment for ladies and girls from the Kashmir Valley are enrolled with minimum 10+2 education std. These girls then teach the illiterate rural community the various facets of healthy, clean and hygienic life. All Govt development pgmes are executed through this girls TA Bn in a planned/phased manner.



If not, then



OPTION – III



Ø A combination of the above two, wherein, both the State Govt and the Army in the valley creates a “Composite Organisation”, wherein, eminent civilian personalities with the senior medical lady officer of the Armed Forces work on the enhancement of rural women in the Kashmir Valley.



Ø Govt/Non Govt/NGOs organisation are co-opted in the above composite organisation, so that, maximum benefits is derived from them, for the welfare of the women.



LASTLY !



A little sincere efforts by the Govt and the society can see a Happy/Prosperous/Smiling Kashmir

Islam - some observations : Interesting Blog Entry......



Adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond's book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat



Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life.



Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military

components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other

components.



Islamization begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their religious privileges.



When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies

agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the

other components tend to creep in as well.



Here's how it works:



As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part be regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens. This is the case in:



United States -- Muslim 0.6%

Australia -- Muslim 1.5%

Canada -- Muslim 1.9%

C hina -- Muslim 1.8%

Italy -- Muslim 1.5%

Norway -- Muslim 1.8%



At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. This is happening in:



Denmark -- Muslim 2%

Germany -- Muslim 3.7%

United Kingdom -- Muslim 2.7%

Spain -- Muslim 4%

Thailand -- Muslim 4.6%



From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby

securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply. This is occurring in:



France -- Muslim 8%

Philippines -- 5%

Sweden -- Muslim 5%

Switzerland -- Muslim 4.3%

The Netherlands -- Muslim 5.5%

Trinidad & Tobago -- Muslim 5.8%



At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allowthemto rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law.

The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the

entire world.



When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris , we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam, with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections in:



Guyana -- Muslim 10%

India -- Muslim 13.4%

Israel -- Muslim 16%

Kenya -- Muslim 10%

Russia -- Muslim 15%



After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad

militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian

churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in:



Ethiopia -- Muslim 32.8%



At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in:



Bosnia -- Muslim 40%

Chad -- Muslim 53.1%

Lebanon -- Muslim 59.7%



From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of

all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in:



Albania -- Muslim 70%

Malaysia -- Muslim 60.4%

Qatar -- Muslim 77.5%

Sudan -- Muslim 70%



After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and in some ways is on-going in:



Bangladesh -- Muslim 83%

Egypt -- Muslim 90%

Gaza -- Muslim 98.7%

Indonesia -- Muslim 86.1%

Iran -- Musl im 98%

Iraq -- Muslim 97%

Jordan -- Muslim 92%

Morocco -- Muslim 98.7%

Pakistan -- Muslim 97%

Palestine -- Muslim 99%

Syria -- Muslim 90%

Tajikistan -- Muslim 90%

Turkey -- Muslim 99.8%

United Arab Emirates -- Muslim 96%



100% will usher in the peace of 'Dar-es-Salaam' -- the Islamic House of Peace. Here there's supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, such as in:



Afghanistan -- Muslim 100%

Saudi Arabia -- Muslim 100%

Somalia -- Muslim 100%

Yemen -- Muslim 100%



Unfortunately, peace is never achieved, as in these 100% states the most radical Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy their blood lust by killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons.



'Before I was nine, I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; the tribe against the world, and all of us against the infidel. -- Leon Uris, 'The Haj'



It is important to understand that in some countries, with well under 100% Muslim populations, such as France, the minority Muslim populations live in ghettos, within which they are 100% Muslim, and within which they live by Sharia Law. The national police do not even enter these ghettos. There are no national courts, nor schools, nor non-Muslim religious facilities. In such situations, Muslims do not integrate into the community at large. The children attend madrasses. They learn only the Koran. To even associate with an infidel is a crime punishable with death. Therefore, in some areas of certain nations, Muslim Imams and extremists exercise more power than the national average would indicate.



Today's 1.5 billion Muslims make up 22% of the world's population. But their birth rates dwarf th e birth rates of Christians, Hindus,Buddhists, Jews, and all other believers. Muslims will exceed 50% of the world's population by the end of this century.

TOI reports that Haripur nuclear project of W. Bengal is facing land acquisition problems. The complex needs about 5,000 acres of land.



TOI reports that 25,000 farmers depend for livelihood on these 5,000 acres, families come extra. Farmers ALONE give a population density of 6,250 per sq. km, against 904 for the whole of the state. Compare it against 12,000 for Delhi.



Which cities are located on acres? Is the news FAKE? But whatever the case, fate of the complex is sealed, same as Tata Nano project. No go.



Can India hope to industrialise like that?

1.Early indian monotheism



The monotheist ideeas are present in hindu culture from vedic times,but just like in China,they usually dont transform in a specific religion and even then it seems that they have a limited following among the population.

In China monotheism of Heaven worship(Tian or Shang Ti) was surpased by principle of Tao,a more impersonal aproach of the absolute.The heaven worship monotheism become just an addition to a larger imperial cult .

The iranian culture also developed the monotheism of zoroastrism.Knowing the strong similarity of avestic teaching whit the vedic ones,we wonder why hindus didnt become

as monotheist as their avestic brothers.

The answer maybe the strong influence of middle east culture over the iranian neibhourhood.

Only in the middle east monotheism become a specific ,exclusivist doctrine,probably influenced by the absolute monarchy that rule that land,where egyptian pharaoh or babilonian king demand total obedience.

We see in early vedic and upanishadic teachings the ocasional raising of one god or anaother to the status of allpowerfullness or allknowiness,but we dont have evidence for a specific separate monotheistic cult except(as far as i know) for the cult of the god Vasudeva.

Evidence for this cult are dated between 2 and 4 century BC but is not clear if Vasudeva is the same as the later Krishna(why should later change the usuall name in another name?)or the cult of vasudeva was absorbed in the cult of Krishna(Vasudeva becoming just the father of krishna),or here was different cults althoghder.

However ,this cult seem to dissapear from the records during the time when Mimamsa school become the predominand school in India.



2.Vedanta monotheism



Monotheism start to have a large following when Vedanta become the main indian school.

Shankara treaty on Vedanta,in he 8 century, is considered to be the aproximate date when Vedanta start to have a more large following ,overpassing Mimamsa.

Starting whit Ramanuja(11 century) we have have the cristalisation of Vedanta monotheism.

We see the development of a number of religions based on vedanta,that regard one god or another as being the supreme personal god ,even more,as the only one worty to be worshiped,while all other gods are seen as lesser gods,only expansions of the supreme god.

Lets see now the principal monotheist religions of India:

From shaiva branch:

Shaiva Siddhanta: monistic theism (950-1300 AD).In Meykandar's pluralistic realism (ca 1200), God, souls and world are beginningless and eternally coexistent. Shiva is



efficient but not material cause.



Siddha Siddhanta: Expounded by Rishi Gorakshanatha (ca 950), this monistic theism is known as bhedabheda.



Lingayatism: Made popular by Basavanna (1105–1167), this version of qualified nondualism, Shakti Vishishtadvaita, accepts both difference and nondifference between soul and God,



like rays are to the sun. Shiva and the cosmic force are one, yet Shiva is beyond His creation, which is real, not illusory.



Shiva Advaita: This monistic theism, formulated by Srikantha (ca 1050), is called Shiva Vishishtadvaita. The soul does not ultimately become perfectly one with Brahman, but



shares with the Supreme all excellent qualities.



Ganapati branch :replace Shiva whit Ganesh as the supreme god.



Vaishnava brach:

Lakshmi-sampradaya-Philosophy: Vishishtadvaita ("qualified Non-dualism"), espoused by Ramanujacharya



Brahma sampradaya-philosophies: Dvaita ("dualism"), espoused by Madhvacharya, and Achintya Bheda Abheda espoused by Gaudiya Vaishnavism.



Rudra sampradaya-Philosophy: Shuddhadvaita ("pure nondualism"), espoused by Vishnuswami and Vallabhacharya.



Kumara-sampradaya-Philosophy: Dvaitadvaita ("duality in unity"), espoused by Nimbarka.



Ramanadi vaishnava branch:replace Vishnu whit Rama asa the supreme god.



Swaminarayan vaishnava branch replace Krishna whit Narayana as main God.



As we can see there is a surprising similarity betwin teological developments among shaiva and vaishnava during Vedanta period.There is a mirroring in time and ideas.



Unlike the precedent period of hinduism now wee see that only the main god is considered worthy to worship,while the other gods are lesser gods or emanations of the main god.

In shaiva monotheism is Shiva alone ,in Ramanadi vaishnava Rama alone is worthy to worship,in Gaudya vaishnava Krishna alone,in Swamionarayana,Krishna Narayana alone is good for



worship(though Shiva is accepted in ritual as being part of Narayana).



We have 5 main monotheist religions in shaivism and another 6 monotheistic religions in vaishnava,all born as separate religions from about 1000 years ago.Not to count smaller sects.All thanks to Vedanta philosophy.
