Kala Pani tales: For whom water is no synonym for life

April 7, 2009. Sitamarhi, Bihar

Septuagenarian Hasima Bibi continues to weep all the time. She has lost all her
family members, mostly due to incurable diseases for drinking chemically
polluted water in the village , derisively named Kaala Pani although land
acquisition records of Runnisaidpur block of Sitamarhi sadar region in Bihar has
its name as Raksia.

Her man of faith is Ramsevak Singh, secretary, Runnisaidpur local committee of
the Communist Party of India, the small party unit that fights for the
pollution-affected 800 households of the village. Ramsevak Singh�s plight is the
same.

As I walk along the path in front of her thatched house with Ramsevakji, she
informs, � Kal dow litre mittika tel mila ( yesterday, got two litres of
Kerosene oil)�. Ramsevakji responds but has a grin against the administration. �
See how cruel and irresponsible is the present government. Not a single family
got the promised 35 kgs of wheat at Rs 2 per kg under Antyoday Yojana. She got
just two litres of Kerosene and feel happy. They have lost the power to say they
should get 35 kgs of wheat at concessional rates. No political party is around.
What we can do alone?�, he said with grit of communist of yesteryears with moral
values that have forsaken five-star communists of today.

That is the state of Kalapani village. Perceptually very different from Kaala
Pani of colonial era when armed freedom-fighters who were deported to the
Cellular Jail of Port Blair were ostracized for crossing Kaala Pani or sea, this
new Kaala Pani is amidst a watery strip in a 75 square kilometer area, submerged
due to the embankments on the Bagmati. The result is blockage of entry of the
Manusmara, a Bagmati tributary, into the village. And instead the entire water
body (Manusmara segment) comprises unprocessed effluents, released by a sugar
mill, belonging to the Dhanuka group of Kolkata.

Some 150 people � mostly children, oldies and women � died of Kala Pani ailment
and another 350 have been suffering from debilitating syndrome such as nausea,
loss of weight and appetite, fever and urinary troubles. Ramsevakji informs, �
The President of India bestowed the award of Nirmal Gram to the Mukhia, Archana
Singh, last year and the sugar mill-owners managed to get a clean chit from a
testing laboratory in Hyderabad . But you just dip any finger into the water,
you will feel the irritation and it will be blackened. Poverty was unknown here
a decade ago. Now it�s a regime of grim poverty�.

Indeed, the water here is black and stinking. No agricultural practice is
possible although it was a fertile area producing three to four crops ands
vegetables every year like wheat, Khesari, Arhar and Mesta .For the past ten
years ,self-reliant farmers of Kaala Pani have to work as bonded labour in
Punjab and Haryana to keep an wolf from the door of their households.

This apart, silted up river-beds and transport of silts due to reaction against
embankments causes mounds of silts At Raksia and adjacent Ibrahimpur of
Runnisaidpur block , a 27 feet high mosque in Raksia remains buried under with
about five-foot upper portion of two minars visible while a temple of Lord Shiva
is said to be dug out every year from the sand to help people offer puja.

There is hardly any reach of the embankment that has not faced the wrath of the
river and the breaches. Queerly enough, the Government and masses in general
consider such structures as hedge floods, even though every major flood has
blasted this myth. Silt-load of rivers devastates catchment areas by rising bed
level of the rivers.

A press communiqu� issued by Barh Mukti Abhiyan � Freedom from Floods Campaign �
whose convenor is Dr Mishra, warned , �The setting is seemingly perfect for
another breach! The state has just woken up, collecting stones for the
protection work in case the river decides to gnaw the embankment. Should that
happen, what course the river would adopt before it joins that Ganga is not
known just as it was not known the course last year following the breach at
Kusaha?�

A few local Nepali inhabitants took members of the visiting team � this
correspondent having been included � around and showed the position of
increasing proximity of the rivers, boulders and wire-nets. � Had it not
breached at Kusaha, it would have taken place here at Prakashpur�, the oldest of
them told the team.

The main reason for loss of farmland in other districts of north Bihar like
Sitamarhi is embankment-accelerated floods, the deluge-like situation last year
following the breach along 1770 metres of eastern embankment of Kosi at Kusaha
in Nepal on 18 August last year. The course of the mighty Himalayan river
remained changed for nearly five months. But the �civil engineers� racket� which
is necessarily hyphenated from numerous competent, talented and
dedicated-to-rule book other civil engineers will never give up the highly
detrimental policy of embankment-construction. A 15-member team of social
activists, technologists, ex-bureaucrats journalists , after visiting five
districts of flood-ravaged areas of Bihar and eastern Nepal including the Kusava
dyke-burst spot in the last week of March , expressed apprehension about another
breach at Prakashpur on the eastern bank in village Rajabaas in Sunsari district
of Nepal, 14 km upstream of Kusaha. Kosi is close to the embankment site and
with the spurs and the possibility of another breach anytime, following a heavy
shower cannot be ruled out. The team leader and one of the handful of most
knowledgeable flood management experts, Dinesh Kumar Mishra fears, �if it
happens, large portions of Purnea, Katihar and Darbhanga may go under water.�

Engineers and interested politicians have no interest in understanding the
secular hydro-dynamics of rivers but even political parties that vouch for
democracy for social uplift, particularly the communists, including Naxalites
and Maoists, too seem apathetic towards flood-afflicted thousands. Some 3.3
million people remain are still to recover from deluge-shocks in a state that
gave to the nation stalwarts like Swami Sahajanand, Jayaprakash Narayan,
Rajendra Prasad, Babu Jagajivan Ram and Karyanand Sharma.

Subject: Launch of a IIT JEE coaching at Patna --- by Alumni of Netarhat/IIT
To: praxis.educationals@...
Date: Monday, 27 April, 2009, 6:42 PM

Dear Friends,
   
*** Will take few minutes of your time. Mail content is doing a promo for a new
venture.
   
   
Please allow me to introduce a new venture in education sector: “Praxis
Educationals Pvt Ltd”.
   
Praxis is a team of highly qualified, experienced & energetic get goers. In the
first phase of operation, Praxis is going to start imparting IIT JEE coaching at
Patna ( Bihar ) from May -09.
   
What motivated us to venture into coaching for IIT JEE:
·         Though, number of players are already well established in the
market, we believe a mix of getting all three subjects (PCM) of excellent
quality together at one place is somehow felt missing with most of the experts.
·         Sky rocketing price of this expert service is seen marking a
divide between the classes over the time.
·         Sending wards to Delhi / Kota hasn’t been a workable
solution to all
   
   
How we are intended to address these concerns:
·         Qualitative education: All of faculties from IIT. Avg
experience of faculty: 3 seasons plus (considering full time & part time
together)
·         Advising faculties are well established name in Delhi & Kota
having accomplishments in Maths Olympiad, have authored journals, have
publication on Mc Graw Hills. They are not less than a brand himself of national
standards.
·         We are ready to offset cost pressure. We have decided to
charge 15000+ tax only for this year.
·         The solution to address the need of having a solution at door
step which let not guardians think of sending their wards away is in Pipeline.
By the way, operating from Patna can address this concern to many of students
staying in nearby suburbs.
   
Our strength:
·         The Team
·         Power of Content, which is designed by experts/ worked as HOD
in reputed institutes of national fame in the sector
   
   
Highlights on modus operandi:
·         Individual care will be on main focus. At any point of time
we can show the growth curve to students/ parents based on the differential
performance ( Curr Performance – at the time they joined us), where do they
stand in race i.e. comparative deviations……
·         Students will be interacting to visiting faculties of
national repute.
·         Lecture theatres are equipped with Audio Visual effect
(Projector/ Speakers)
   
   
Bundle of goodies on free:
·         Personality development expert/Corporate trainer will be
visiting from Bangalore .
·         Lectures on motivation/ thought building
   
   
** Please check design of poster in attachment. You can see the same (kiosk) on
alternate iron pillars on platform of Patna junction, Huge hoardings on Gandhi
Maidan- Kargill Chowk, Raja Bajar, vehicles loaded with the same ads taking
rounds in the city (Patna), daily newspapers covering them on weekly basis.
   
   
A win -win for both of us (You and me):
·         By reading up to this line, your dilemma for candidates in
your family/friends staying in Bihar would have been ended that I am well sure
of. Get them to me I will give them waivers on Price of service as much it’s
in my hand.  (not much but surely a little bit !!)
·         If you are referring any candidate, please ask him to contact
on numbers given in my signature below and to take my name while visiting
institute.
   
   
   
   
Please have this mail reached to the knowledge of people of Bihar in your
contact list. Thanks for extending support in ad-campaign.

Read the following to know the reasons to throw away PRESENT Govt.

Lets have a look at where the TAX we pay is MISUSED by PRESENT GOVT.
Do you know what 1Crore looks like? I mean just how many zeroes it has?
1,00,00,000
1) Rs 87153.12 crores is missing as reported in chapter-2 of Comptroller &
Auditor Generals report, an official government agency (http://www.cag.gov.in/).
And this is just for the years 2007-09! Over the years, how much of our money
has been stolen from us?
This is OUR money folks. What we paid this government as tax! Where have they
put it? There is simply no answer forthcoming!

2) Aid of Rs 3000 crores to Afghanistan for economic reconstruction. This
includes 150 bullet-proof watch towers, 2,500 protective vests, and a lot of
mine clearing equipment. Bullet proof watch towers and protective vests are
economic reconstruction?
(http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htproc/articles/20061223.aspx)

3) The absolutely pathetic state of the educational infrastructure of all
government run institutions hits one right in the face. Now while education
systems are in doldrums, our government gives out money to Harvard and Cambridge
universities! How much money? To the tune of Rs 50 crores!
(http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?newsid=1150356)

  Now have a look at how PRESENT GOVT is promoting TERRORIST activities in INDIA.

  1) Remember the Mumbai train blasts? Well, around that time India gave
financial aid to Pakistan for earthquake relief� Rs 150 crores of it! (Aid to
the ones responsible for blast!!!)

2) While Pakistan and some other islamic nations are closing down their
madressas, there is talk of granting CBSE status to Islamic madressas in India
(about half a million in number). Madressas are breeding ground for radical
fundamentalist Islam, one that produces terror�
This will ensure that we don't just have corrupt thugs ruling us, we will have
well trained jihadi terrorists in the parliament AND the bureaucracy!
(http://www.indianexpress.com/news/madrasa-certificates-will-now-be-cbse-equival\
ent/404478/   and 
http://www.sanghparivar.org/join-madrasa-why-sit-for-tough-cbse-board-exam)

3) PRESENT GOVT has decided to give pension and jobs to the families of all
"Kashmiri Terrorists" who were killed. No help for the Indian soldiers and
citizens who have been killed by the terrorists. They say they are being
"humane"!! Not for the families of the army people who were killed� not for the
families of the kashmiris who were massacred�
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NK6xwFRQ7BQ)

This has to stop, before INDIA becomes the new SAUDI of the planet.
  And any government that takes decisions like these needs to be kicked out of
power. I don't think even resilient India will ever be able to recover if the
present government comes back to power this year.

THE VERY THOUGHT OF PRESENT GOVT COMING BACK TO POWER IS SCARY....
This year, every responsible citizen of this country needs to get out there and
vote. And vote for change.

Victory Margins Narrowing, So Every Vote Makes a Difference�..

At this crucial time, it's the responsibility of we people, to make our fellow
citizen aware of what is happening in India under the rule of PRESENT GOVT.....

This is a sincere request to take few minutes of busy schedule to go out and
VOTE and VOTE FOR CHANGE.

This email is written by an INDIAN CITIZEN who is really very much worried as to
what would happen to our INDIA if the PRESENT GOVT. comes back to power...

The damage Macaulay did to IndiaBy Francois Gautier




  A country needs people who are proud of their own culture and
civilization in order to move forward. That is what true nationalism -
as opposed to jingoism - is all about. It also requires an
intelligentsia which reflects this pride in its newspapers, books,
paintings, sculptures and sports.

But
for such overall excellence to be achieved, a country needs
intellectuals in contact with their society, who know their roots, who
have been groomed in the intricacies, the subtleties and genius of
their own culture, while not being blind to its faults. For
intellectuals are the ones who shape the psyche of a nation.

In
India, we generally find there exists a brilliant intelligentsia, which
is at par with most of the Western intelligentsia. Indian intellectuals
are fluent in English, write it even better, are cognizant of Western
literature; indeed, they can often quote Camus, Sartre, Freud, and
Jung; they know the latest trends in the West, have read the latest
books, and can converse on any subject on this earth, be it ecology or
fashion.

Unfortunately, not only are they totally ignorant of
their own culture, but they also look down upon it. Not only have they
no idea about the greatness of the Bhagavad Gita, of meditation, of
Ayurveda, or pranayama, but they use the best of their talents to run
it down, with wit, good English and a nasty and acerbic pen.

These
intellectuals are all a product of a man called Macaulay, who, more
than 200 years ago, had the brilliant idea to fashion sahibs out of
brown-skin natives and make them not only more British than the
British, but also make them ashamed of their own culture, spirituality
and ethos. When they took over India, the British set upon establishing
an intermediary race of Indians, whom they could entrust with their
work at the middle level echelons and who could one day be convenient
instruments to rule by proxy, or semi-proxy. The tool to shape these
British clones was education.

In the words of Macaulay, the
pope of British schooling in India: "We must at present do our best to
form a class, who may be interpreters between us and the millions we
govern, a class of persons Indians in blood and color, but English in
taste, in opinions, in morals and in intellects." Macaulay had very
little regard for Hindu culture and education: He stated "All the
historical information which can be collected from all the books which
have been written in the Sanskrit language, is less valuable than what
may be found in the most paltry abridgement used at preparatory schools
in England."
He further said : "Hindus have a literature of small
intrinsic value, hardly reconcilable with morality and full of
monstrous superstitions."

It seems today that India's Marxist
intelligentsia could not agree more with Macaulay, for his dream has
come true: Today, the greatest opponents of Indianised and
spiritualized education are the descendants of these brown sahibs; the
"secular" politicians, the journalists, the top bureaucrats, the whole
westernized cream of India. And what is even more paradoxical, most of
them are Hindus!

It is they who, on getting independence,
have denied India its true identity and borrowed blindly from the
British education system, without trying to adapt it to the unique
Indian mentality and psychology; and it is they who are refusing to
accept a change of India's education system, which is totally
West-oriented and is churning out machines, learning by rote boring
statistics which are of little use in life.

And what India is
getting from this education is a youth which apes the West: They go to
McDonald's, thrive on MTV culture, wear the latest Klein jeans and
Lacoste T-Shirts, and in general are useless, rich parasites, in a
country which has so many talented youngsters who live in poverty .
They will grow up like millions of other Western clones in the
developing world, who wear a tie, read The New York Times and perhaps
swear by liberalism and secularism to save their countries from doom.
In time, the same youth will reach elevated positions and write books
and articles which make fun of India; they will preside over
human-right committees; be "secular" high bureaucrats who take the
wrong decisions and generally do tremendous harm to India, because it
has been programmed in their genes to always run their own country
down. In a gist, they will be the ones always looking to the West for
approval and forever perceive India through the Western prism.

Dr.
Murli Manohar Joshi is absolutely right. Indian children should be told
about the immense human and spiritual values of their own literature,
like we in Europe are brought up on the values of the Iliad and the
Odyssey, or the great Greek tragedies. Therefore, education in India
has to be more Indianised - it is not a question of being
"nationalistic", or "saffron-oriented", as Indian Marxists are fond of
saying, but of knowing one's own culture, the Vedas, the Bhagavad Gita,
the Ramayana, which in fact, according to many Western scholars, stand
among the greatest literary
works of all times.

At the same
time, it is true, as Sri Aurobindo pointed out: "Though we must save
for India all that she has stored up of knowledge, character and noble
thoughts in her immemorial past, we must also acquire for her the best
knowledge that Europe can give her and assimilate it to her own
peculiar type of national temperament.

Unfortunately, at a
time when the West, sick with antibiotics and a blind medicine which
kills more than it cures, is rediscovering the virtues of Ayurveda,
every third shop in India sells allopathic prescriptions. When the
West, sick with materialism is rediscovering the virtues of Swadeshi,
Coca Cola, McDonald, or Ford are given a free hand in India. When the
West, amidst violence, depression and stress is rediscovering the
virtues of spirituality and pranayama, it is not even taught in Indian
schools and
universities. When the West, in mortal combat with a
religion which says: "Unless you believe in my God, I will kill you,"
is rediscovering the virtues of the Indian dharma - the only living
spirituality left in the world - it is made fun of by India's own
intelligentsia. If only they knew on what treasure they are perpetually
spitting on!

Impression of Bihar : 2009I spent six weeks in Bihar earlier this year. I had
the opportunity to travel by road to
     Muzaffarpur, Darbhanga  Vaishali and surrounding areas of Patna. Since my
last visit a
     year ago, I must admit I saw some changes for the better, like absence of
refuse on the
     roads, construction of sewage system in Kankarbagh and road building in many
parts of
     the districts I visited. I must admit that some of he road surfaces on dual
carriageway
     that is being built are of European standard. Patna looked cleaner and
somewhat better
     than my last visit a year ago.
      Nevertheless, there is absolutely no change in the lives if ordinary
Bihari. I was stunned
       to see the number of shops everywhere. People just spread a mat on
pavement, put a few
       items and sat waiting for customer. It seems as if there is one shop for
each Bihari. It took
       three weeks for me to understand the reason for such proliferation. As
there are no job, no
       other opportunity to earn a living, people have no option other than to
sell something which is
       better than the alternative - begging. Whilst a school kid and growing up
in 50s, I never saw
       poors making footpath and pavements their home, where they cooked and
slept as is the case
       now. People looked stunted and thin. Children looked smaller for their
age, malnourished and
       ill. There being no Highway Code for vehicle drivers, there were
unnecessary traffic jams on
       the roads. As a British national, I was refused a Sim card for my mobile;
in England, one buys
       a mobile phone with Sim card like Cadbury chocolate, no matter who they
are. Reason for such
       restriction was to prevent crime and terrorism. And yet, criminals go
unpunished, terrorists are
       never apprehended, let alone prosecute and punish them. So, who is made to
suffer ? A common
       law abiding citizen.  Similar hardship I encountered when I went to buy a
new Maruti Omni car in
       Patna.
      Visiting Darbhanga to attend Foundation day and Alumni meet at the Medical
college was a nostalgic
       journey. It was there that I became a doctor, spent 7 golden years and met
my wife. I suffered
       emotional shock on seeing general deterioration. I was shocked to see my
room in West Hostel - so
       dilapidated stained plaster. My colleagues talked about heart, liver,
kidney and brain diseases. And
       yet, out of the lecture theatre, 85% people who were poor, needed medical
care for hookworm,
       roundworm,malaria, Kala azar, TB.. They needed health education,
importance of hygiene and safe
       drinking water. We addressed only 15% of population, 85% remained
unaddressed, untouched. We
       must put our priorities right. And wrong priorities are what ails Bihar.
Hardly few thinks about 85% of
       poor, deprived, disadvantaged Bihari.
      I am sure people will say I live in England, come to Bihar once or twice a
year and just moan  and

       complain. They will be justified in their complain. They may also say as
to what have I done for Bihar.
      Well, just a little. I created two jobs; a driver and a cook for my car and
home. I will be giving four
       awards , each of Rs. 5000/-, to four poor and deprived students admitted
to first year MBBS in
       Darbhanga Medical College every year. A boy and a girl from Muslim
community and a boy and a girl
       from schedule caste Hindu community. This would enable them to buy items
like books, stationary and
       clothes. This is the least I could do as a Bihari..

     �The Above article� represents the ground realities prevailing in our

Dear Bajrang ji,
I am forwarding the April edition of Sablog in which there is an article on
education. I have mentioned the importance of the Netarhat model for Indian
democracy and raised the issue of claiming 'quality education as our birth
right'. This is an invitation for debate on the education. Every one can join
this debate. I will request the editor to publish substantive articles.. Please
circulate it and request people to participate. The article is in the second
section. Please ignore typing errors.

with warm regards

Barh Mukti Abhiyan
6-B Rajiv Nagar. Patna 800024
Bihar , India

Press Release



�If it had not breached at Kusaha, it would have anyway breached at this point,�
points a villager towards the probable location on the eastern bank in village
Rajabaas near Prakashpur in Sunsari district of Nepal, located 14 km upstream of
Kusaha where the Eastern Afflux embankment of the Kosi had breached on the
August 18, 2008.

The river has indeed come close to the embankment at the site and with the spurs
that protect the embankment in no good condition, a potential danger lurks. The
setting is seemingly perfect for another breach! The state has just woken up,
collecting stones for the protection work in case the river decides to gnaw the
embankment. Should that happen, what course the river would adopt before it
joins that Ganga is not known just as it was not known the course last year
following the breach at Kusaha?

So, that�s what the Water Resources Department leaves it during this year to be
reaped (faced) by the Disaster (mis)Management Department of the state. Since
there is no dialogue between the two, the vicious cycle gets perpetuated year
after year.

That is the inference of a team of 15 professionals and social workers that
visited the area hit by last year�s devastating floods of the Kosi during March
21-27, 2009. The team noted that the repair works at Kusaha are far from
complete although the engineers at site claim that they will complete the work
to their �entire satisfaction� by April 20, 2009, eight months after the last
year�s disaster, before fresh water reaches the site following snow-melt in
upper catchment. This claim will have to be verified in days to come.

Everyone hopes that they are not caught on the wrong foot again! The Kosi flood
disaster of 2008 was spread over 5 districts,  35 blocks, 993 villages affecting
33.29 lakh people and spread over an area of 3.68 lakh hectares in India alone
which resulted in loss of nearly 600 persons and destruction of 2.37 lakh
houses. But for the colour of the sand, a vast area of the Kosi basin now
resembles Jaisalmer (Rajasthan) and may need the help of the experts of Central
Arid Zone Research Institute CAZRI, Jodhpur for revival of agriculture in the
region.

That is only one half the story. The other half about which no concern is shown
by anybody (Government and NGOs included) comprises of nearly 1.5 million people
spread over 414 villages trapped between the two embankments of the Kosi which
is the route of the normal river flow in a normal year. �We literally have our
houses on our shoulders and despite using weed or wood fired chulha for cooking,
no cobwebs are seen on our thatched roofs. We have to shift our houses much
before spiders start developing the webs�, says a resident of village Nirmali,
trapped between the two embankments of the Kosi in Supaul district. Their
problem is perennial just as the flow of the river.

The team visited the Bhutahi Balan and the Kamla Balan basins and finally landed
up in the Bagmati where mammoth embankments are being built or repaired. These
are being raised and strengthened to provide a greater degree of protection to
the people living outside them. But from Dheng to Runni Saidpur there is hardly
any reach of the embankment that has not faced the wrath of the river and the
breaches and yet the people and the Government believe that these structures
would protect them from floods.

That silt contained in the river waters is equally responsible for the
devastation that is caused by rising bed level of the rivers and subsequent
failure of the embankments can be seen in the villages of Raksia and Ibrahimpur
of Runnisaidpur block of Sitamarhi district. A 27 feet high mosque in Raksia is
submerged in sand and only top 5 feet is visible above the ground while a temple
of Lord Shiva has to be dug out every year from the sand to offer puja in the
latter. Will the engineers and the politicians ever recognize the secular
behaviour of our rivers?

The team was shocked by the joke that is played in the name of the development
in Kaala Pani area of Runnisaidpur. Nearly 75 squire kilometers of land has been
submerged because the embankments on the Bagmati blocked the entry of the
Manusmara into it and as if that were not sufficient, the unprocessed effluents
from a sugar mill were dumped into the Manusmara to make the submergence black
and stinking. No agriculture is possible with such �waters� and there has been
no crops in the area for the past ten years now. The farmers of Kaala Pani
remain engaged in agriculture, but in Punjab and Haryana.

Nalanda University project has implications on globalised world
By Hoe Yeen Nie, Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 19 February 2009 0231 hrs

SINGAPORE: The Nalanda University in India's Bihar state is part
of a larger Asian renaissance, says Singapore's Foreign Minister George
Yeo. And its emphasis on the free exchange of ideas has implications on
today's globalised world.




Some paintings by Singapore artist Tan Swie Hian are inspired by
India's Nalanda University, a centre of intellectual open-mindedness in
the ancient world.





Its modern-day revival is driven by the desire to bring back that spirit of
enlightenment.




The Nalanda University of the fifth century was, for many years,
the seat of Buddhist learning, attracting scholars from all over Asia.




And in a nod to this ancient heritage, the Nalanda of the 21st century
hopes to be a centre for inter-faith dialogue, and a bridge between
South and East Asia.





The secular varsity will have six faculties, offering post-graduate studies in
philosophy, tourism and Asian history.




Singapore's foreign minister - who is a member of a multi-national
steering group behind the project, called the Nalanda Mentor Group -
said it is part of a larger Asian renaissance. But it will take some
years to bear fruit.




Mr Yeo said: "There'll be many practical problems, because Nalanda
will be established in the state of Bihar, which is one of the more
backward states in India. Infrastructure is woeful. But the plans are
there, it will take time, the important thing is support from the
highest levels in India."




The steering group's first meeting was in Singapore two years ago.
Since then, discussions have been held in Tokyo, New York and New
Delhi.




The final meeting will take place in Bihar, India, on Thursday, and
a proposal will be presented at the East Asian Summit in Thailand at
the end of the month.




The university was initially set to admit its first students this
year, but Mr Yeo said that would not be likely now because of
administrative issues. - CNA/de

Singapore: Visit by Minister for Foreign Affairs George Yeo to India, 19 - 21
February 2009

               Minister
for Foreign Affairs George Yeo will visit India from 19 to 21 February
2009 to participate in the fifth and final Nalanda Mentor Group (please
see Annex for a complete list of members of the Group) Meeting in Bodh
Gaya, Bihar, India. He will be accompanied by Professor Wang Gungwu,
Chairman of East Asia Institute and Alternate Member of the Nalanda
Mentor Group, officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
representatives from the Singapore Buddhist Federation and Singapore
Buddhist Lodge.





Chaired by Nobel Laureate Professor Amartya Sen (Economics Department,
Harvard University), the Nalanda Mentor Group aims to conceptualise the
revival of the proposed Nalanda University in Bihar, India. The ancient
Nalanda University, established in about 5th century AD or earlier, was
pre-eminent for over seven centuries, with about 10,000 international
students and 1,500 teachers at its prime. Indian Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh announced at the East Asia Summit in Cebu in January
2007 that India intended to redevelop Nalanda University as a centre
for learning and inter-faith dialogue, and that India welcomed
cooperation from member countries of the East Asia Summit. Singapore
hosted the inaugural meeting of the Nalanda Mentor Group in July 2007
and three further meetings were held in Tokyo, New York and New Delhi.
To help raise public awareness of the project, an exhibition "On the
Nalanda Trail: Buddhism in India, China and Southeast Asia" was held by
the Asian Civilisation Museum in Singapore from November 2007 to March
2008. The Institute of Southeast Asian Studies has also organised an
international conference on "Buddhism Across Asia: Networks of
Material, Intellectual and Cultural Exchange" in Singapore from 16 to
18 February 2009. Professor Amartya Sen gave a special keynote address
on Nalanda at this conference earlier today. He departs Singapore for
Bihar to attend the Nalanda Mentor Group meeting tomorrow.



The 5th Nalanda Mentor Group Meeting in Bodh Gaya, Bihar, seeks to
complete the discussion on the establishment of the Nalanda University.
After the meeting in Bodh Gaya is concluded, India is expected to
present its proposal to the East Asia Summit (EAS) for endorsement at
the next meeting in Thailand.



Professor Amartya Sen, Minister Yeo and other members of the Nalanda
Mentor Group will also visit the site of the new Nalanda University in
Bihar and meet Chief Minister of Bihar Nitish Kumar to discuss the
establishment of the new University.

My mother Mrs. Krishna Singh's job at various government schools in
Bihar, where even basic amenities did not exist, involved standing
for long hours and dealing with a defiant and rude society. Thanks to
her dedication and strong will power, not only did she complete an
eventful career with �lan, she was never found faulting on any
occasion.

Unsurprisingly, she has been a role model for many in her community,
among colleagues, students and parents. For her family, she has at
all times served as the strongest role model. She means everything to
us and a lot to all those who have met her.

It was really great to see her waking up at her own time, doing her
own things, reading newspaper, cooking, not stressing, travelling to
her school, managing money, keeping records, planning insurance,
saving taxes, and keeping an excellent health. It has been great so
far. She's been able to be very active; and sort of her own boss,
always.

Every child considers his mom as the best. But for me, my mother has
been a very very special person. In all the world, there is no other
to take the place of my dear mother. We've laughed together, cried
together. Through this blog, I want the world to know how much I love
her. She is my heroine. Maa tujhe salaam�

You may click http://neerajbhushan.wordpress.com/ to read more on my
mother.

Thank you with kindest regards.

     Many of India’s cities have become bustling
centers for high technology and heavy industry, but hundreds of
millions of people in the countryside remain off the grid. Growing up
in rural Bihar State, Manoj Sinha knew what it was like to sit in the
dark. So after earning an electrical engineering degree at the University of
Massachusetts,
Amherst, and working for the Intel Corporation, he began exploring ways
to turn farm waste into electricity, with the dream of building
village-scale generators.

  Last year at the University of Virginia,
where he is studying for a master’s at the Darden School of Business,
he and a fellow student, Charles Ransler, teamed up with another
engineer from Bihar, Gyanesh Pandey, and Husk Power Systems was born.The
Indian engineers, both 31, had initially planned on raising money to
build small generators for simply a few villages. But the company now
has a proprietary generator that runs on a methane-like gas released by
heating rice husks a certain way. A waste product of rice milling,
husks are plentiful in villages. While agricultural waste is common for
generating heat, it is not often used for generating electricity, and
there is nothing remotely like this system in the villages of
developing countries. The system produces enough electricity to supply
300 to 500 households for 8 to 10 hours a day. A byproduct is silica, a
valuable ingredient in making cement. The long-term plan is to
profit from the global market in credits — earned by avoiding
greenhouse-gas emissions, which result from burning fossil fuels like
coal — and to sell the benefit. Husk Power Systems won first
place in 2008 in the University of Virginia business plan competition
and the social innovation competition at the University of Texas, Austin. The
students are headquartered at the Darden School of Business incubator, where
they get space and advice.There
are generators in five villages now, with the hope of expanding to 100
within a few years, Mr. Ransler says. Eventually, these communities
could shift to other electricity sources as the Indian economy matures.
But Mr. Ransler, 30, predicts there will be a market for many years to
come for small-scale power systems burning renewable farm waste.Business
leaders must realize that the world’s poor need investments more than
handouts, he says, adding, “These are customers, not victims.”

Drainage Crisis of Kosi

Abstract: Kosi is an
international river and all interventions must show utmost sensitivity
that does not bring a bad name to our country. The onus is the central
government to avoid a situation, which makes North Bihar a case study
for mismanagement of rivers. It has emerged from the field study
undertaken by a Fact Finding Team that a list of "what not to do in
Kosi basin" must be prepared before relying on the suggestions of
retired or serving officials. Why Kosi has been flowing at a level
higher than its adjoining mainland is a statement on the poverty of
common sense. The reduced cross-section of the river due to embankments
was expected to facilitate the dredging of its bed. Instead, the Kosi
offloaded silt into the river and raised the level of its bed. That the
Kosi is among one of the highest silt-laden rivers in the country makes
matters worse. Had the river been free to meander, it would have
deposited fertile silt, collected from the slopes of Mount Everest and
Kanchenjunga, across the plains of north Bihar. But that was not to be,
as most of the silt carried over the years lies trapped between river
banks, reducing the stream flow on the one hand and making the
embankments vulnerable to breach on the other. People of Kosi basin are
victims of development and the arrogance of governmental knowledge that
are used to scare common people into silence and submission by their
declarations such as "I Know the facts". All proponents of "solution"
must be made to solve the drainage crisis and adopt Ganga basin
approach before undertaking any further intervention.

Introduction
Kosi
is one of the major tributaries of Ganga synonymous with the history,
culture of not only Mithila but whole of the Indian sub-continent. One
cannot think of the Indian sub-continent without thinking about
Ramayana (Sita) and Mahabharata (Karna). Ramayana and Mahabharata
cannot be even imagined in the absence of Mithila.. The structural
solutions have already distorted the landscape of the Kosi-Mithila
region, structural solutions like Kosi High Dam would turn out to be a
monument of foolishness for generations to come. Like the villains of
embankment proposal, all the kosi high dam proponents must be
identified and dealt with by something like a Kosi Parliament.

Nearly
33.55 lakh people in five districts of north Bihar were affected by the
devastation caused by the Kosi deluge due to the breach in the
embankment at Kusaha in Nepal on August 18.

After Tamil Nadu,
Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, Bihar too is initiating the misplaced
project of linking rivers even as it is being predicted that "Ganga
would soon become a seasonal river-flooded in monsoons and dry in the
summers." Out of the 30 links in the controversial National
Interlinking of Rivers project that includes 14 links in the Himalayan
component, 6 river-link canals are directly related to Bihar. It is
noteworthy that quite like Tamil Nadu, Bihar too is proposing its
linking of rivers projects as independent of the national project.
Unmindful of the global ecological changes and river basin approach
Uttar Pradesh has already launched Ganga Expressway Project in 2007 to
construct a 1047 km access controlled eight-laned expressway running
along the Ganga river to provide connectivity and as a flood control
measure although the catastrophe brought about by such measures is
quite evident.

Continuing the same trend, Bijendra Prasad Yadav,
Bihar's Water Resources Development Minister informed the Bihar
Legislative Council on 4, December, 2008 that inter-linking of rivers
could rid the state of perennial problems of flood and drought.
Replying to a special debate on drought like situation prevailing in
many districts of south Bihar, Yadav said "unless and until rivers are
inter-linked the twin problems can not be solved." Yadav said the
inter-linking of Bihar rivers would cost more than Rs 4,000 crore.
Stating that 26 percent area of the state are drought-hit, Yadav
informed the Vidhan Parishad that the state did not have any reservoir
which was crucial for irrigation. It was either in Nepal or in Uttar
Pradesh. Replying to a debate on perennial problem of flood in the
state he referred to the devastation caused by the Kosi deluge and the
probe by judicial commission underway.

The Centre has
constituted a high level committee, consisting of three representatives
of the Centre, two from Nepal and five from Bihar government, for the
repair and maintenance of the embankment.

In the aftermath of
Kosi deluge, such ecologically disastrous engineering projects have
been dismissed as a "solution". Most recently, even 'development'
advocates like Suman K Bery, Director General of New Delhi-based
National Council of Applied Economic Research advised the governments
to forgo its mega public private partnership projects and concentrate
on strengthening the existing infrastructures in the light of the crash
of US and the European markets as a response to the upheavals in the
world economy.

Sterile Discourses
At a talk and a day
long Panel Discussion in Patna on "Kusaha Breach and Thereafter",
heated exchanges between pro-"Kosi high dam" engineers and proponents
of "living with floods" ended with an apparent conclusion that high
dams & embankments are less of an engineering interventions and
more of a political intervention. On 17 October, on the eve of two
months of the Kosi breach, the talk was delivered by Dr Dinesh Kumar
Mishra, a well known voice of sanity with regard to Kosi crisis.
Failure of dams as flood control structures has been demonstrated in
Orissa, Gujarat, Maharasthra and Jharkhand.

A white paper was
demanded, while sharing the Hindi version of the Fact Finding Report on
Kosi "Kosi "Pralay": Bhayaavah Aapada Abhi Baaki Hai" sought
accountability of Kosi High Level Committee (KHLC) and provide a remedy
for the drainage crisis in North Bihar as was promised by the UPA
government's Common Minimum Programme. All the activities of KHLC
should be put in suspension till the time their liability is fixed and
Justice Rajesh Balia Judicial Commission of inquiry set up on September
9, 2008 is completed. The commission's recommendations must not meet
the fate of several dozens of committees and it must recommend criminal
charges against acts of omission and commission.

It is
noteworthy that Union Water Resources Department Secretary, in a letter
to the Bihar Irrigation Secretary on September 24, 2008 has questioned
the locus standi of the judicial commission. The letter read: "The Kosi
agreement is a bilateral agreement between two sovereign states, India
and Nepal, and Bihar is not a party to either 1954 or the 1966
agreement. "Water and Power Consultation Services, a central
government's public sector undertaking has provided technical inputs to
the Bihar government on possible ways to plug the breach at Kusaha in
Nepal.

Participants included victims of embankments who
expressed their anguish at the Delhi, Kathmandu and Patna centric
deliberations and decision making. They called for a movement against
Kosi High Dam, embankments and changing the current course of Kosi.

Amid
news reports that Kosi's course will be restored by December 15 and the
breach would be plugged by March 31, 2009 citing Kosi Breach Closure
Advisory Technical Committee chairman Nilendu Sanyal and Ganga Flood
Control Commission chairman R C Jha on 14 October, 2008 to finalise
modalities on plugging the breach, some participants were opposed to
the repair of the breach in Kusaha. Government must hear the views of
these people before undertaking repair works.

Meanwhile, central
government has sanctioned Rs 40 crore for the project and Bihar Cabinet
has sanctioned Rs 197 crore. Bihar Water Resources Minister Bijendra
Yadav has said tenders for the breach closure have been invited and
bidding will take place after October 21.

Proposed "Sapta Kosi
Multi Purpose Project" claims to irrigate 68,450 hectares in Nepal and
provide remedy for drought-prone areas measuring 1,520,000 hectares in
India. It is claimed that alongwith irrigation and flood control, about
3,500 MW of electrical power would also be generated from water stored
in the 269-meter-high reservoir. According to a preliminary impact
study, the proposed high dam will displace 75,000 people from about 79
Village Development Committees (VDCs) in nine districts of Nepal alone.
About 111 settlements in the 79 VDCs, sprawling over the banks of the
Sun Kosi, Tamor, and Arun rivers, will be totally submerged, while 47
settlements will face partial submergence, and 138 will become
fractionally submerged.

Opinions available in public domain say,
"If the dam is going to cause such upheaval, can the crops produced
from the 68,450 hectares of irrigated land in Nepal compensate for this
huge loss?" argued the bimonthly magazine, Pro Public/Good Governance,
in its report. Estimated losses in the North Bihar are yet to be
ascertained. Earlier, the meeting of the Indo-Nepal Joint Committee on
Water Resources in Kathmandu on October 2, 2008 agreed to expedite work
on preparation of the Detailed Project Report (DPR) on Saptkosi High
Dam on the Kosi. Both sides reiterated their commitment to expediting
the work on preparation of the DPR of Saptkosi High Dam project during
the meeting which concluded on Wednesday in Kathmandu. Nepal assured
full administrative support and security to Indian engineers.

After
the breach, on August 18-19, 2008 Nepal government had said that Kosi
treaty is a "historic blunder" but Nepal government's inconsistent and
ambiguous position now on the Kosi High Dam proposal based on the same
treaty must be exposed in the Nepali parliament and media.

The Worst is Still to Come
In
order to save Kosi region from an ecological and human disaster, Nepali
and Indian legislators must take a categorical position based on a
referendum on Kosi.

On August 19, 2008, the chairman of the
Expert Committee on the Implementation of recommendations of Rashtriya
Barh Ayog, R Rangachari said, "It is my impression that not much has
been done to implement the suggestions made by the committee's report."
Rangachari was on the Prime Minister's Task Force on Flood Control in
2004.

The National Common Minimum Programme (CMP) of the
Government of India made a solemn pledge to the people of the country
in 2004 to undertake "Long-pending schemes in specific states that have
national significance, like flood control and drainage in North Bihar."
Despite acknowledging the problem, it is shocking that neither the
Central nor Bihar Government conducts any survey to assess the effect
of flood control measures on the socio-economic conditions of society.

On
August 20, 2008, after the breach in the embankment at Kusaha in the
Kosi region, Nepalese Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal `Prachanda',
took stock of the post-calamity situation in the Kosi region and said
"Kosi agreement was a historic blunder. The people are suffering due to
this". The agreement had led to the construction of embankments and
proposals for a high dam.

Following an aerial survey of the
flood affected areas of Bihar, the Indian Prime Minister on August 28,
2008, termed the flood crisis as "a national calamity". More than four
years have passed since the Indian Prime Minister made the promise in
the CMP. Now, in August 2008 he declared, "A high-level team would be
set up to coordinate matters with the Government of Nepal." He also
promised protective structures and technical assistance to state
government to prevent further deterioration in the embankments. Such
dangling of carrots and
providing band-aid remedies are horribly insincere and it has been going on for
over 60 years.

Bihar's
floods in August 2008 caused the eighth breach in the embankments.
According to the Bihar Government's own reports, last year 48 lakh
people in 22 districts were in need of assistance due to floods.
Clearly, it is not the extent, but the unpredictable intensity of the
crisis that makes it a catastrophe. The primary function of floodwater
is to drain out excess water. It has not been allowed to perform its
functions due to engineering interventions.

Hundreds of reports
prepared by Commissions of all ilks are gathering dust. At most, they
become election campaign tools. The Commission should recommend fixing
charges of criminal neglect against the members of the Kosi High-Level
Committee, who waited for the calamity despite having information that
could have led to timely evacuation of the people.

The drainage
problem has failed to alter the policy regime of the country that
favours structural solutions regardless of the natural drainage it may
impede. Proposals like a high dam on the Kosi are as good as jumping
from the frying pan into the fire, if the experience with embankments
is anything to go by. Even when one chooses to ignore the changing
morphology of the river, the estimated lifespan of a dam and embankment
being 25 and 37 years respectively, underlines
the transitory nature
of the technocentric interventions. The Union Ministry of Water
Resources misled the Rajya Sabha on March 11, 2008 claiming,
"Government has taken various steps in the direction of water
management to stop the flood in north Bihar coming from the rivers of
Nepal." There has been no significant shift in the way the Kosi issue
was perceived in the 1950s and in 2008.

The issue of the Kosi
High Dam, first raised in 1948, has been sold to the victims as one of
the 'permanent' solutions to recurring floods. Ironically, embankments
as temporary solutions have become reasonably permanent whereas the
'permanent' solution has remained elusive. What is 'permanent' and how
permanent is 'permanence'? It must be acknowledged now that there is a
condemnable insincerity in proposing multi-purpose high dams for flood
control, because the dams are proposed to tap the hydropower potential.
Is it not clear that when the multipurpose — flood control, irrigation
and power — dam is talked about, the real motive of the proposal in
question is ignored? Clearly, political parties hold a stake in such
power projects that make them little concernend with the masses
struggling to remain afloat. A few days ago, Nepalese Prime Minister,
Prachanda, conveyed his affirmation for the hydel power project in a
meeting with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

Conclusion
There
is a compelling logic behind seeking immediate review of the Indo-
Nepal Kosi Treaty that created the rationale for embankments and dams.
Continuing with it would amount to flogging a dead horse. The
congestion in North Bihar and Nepal is a problem of permanent
water-logging that has remained overlooked for several decades. Floods,
earthquakes, hurricanes or tsunamis cannot be controlled. But the
catastrophe they cause can be predicted, anticipated and
prevented.
Drainage of the river must remain sacrosanct, besides timely evacuation
of human and animal population and the establishment of robust public
health systems.

Given its distinct geo-morphological features
and complicated hydrological characters, the Kosi is one of the
Himalayan rivers that is yet to be understood in its entirety. It is
high time that policy makers gave up their outdated 'conquest over
nature' paradigm. We have to learn to live with the floods, only this
time, in far more readiness.

Ecological and futuristic vision
based state interventions must treat natural flow of rivers as
sacrosanct and natural habitats must not be tampered with, which we
must maintain if we want life to exist on Earth. Instead of a gigantic
dam, what is needed is a gigantic network of very small scale water
management schemes, including a vast network of small dams in Himalayas.

This savings account is a national heritage   
http://www.sindhtoday.net/south-asia/41016.htm

Patna, Dec 4 (IANS) It’s a savings account that has
a balance of just Rs.1,508. It has not been operated for over decades.
Yet, a bank here takes pride in the account holder - for it belonged to
the country’s first president, Rajendra Prasad.
The account at the Exhibition Road branch of the
Punjab National Bank (PNB) has not been closed by the authorities even
four decades after Rajendra Prasad’s death as a mark of respect to him.
‘For the PNB, Rajendra Prasad’s savings account is a national
heritage, we are proud to preserve it for future generations,’ Sailesh
Ranjan Singh, chief manager of the bank, told IANS.
Singh said the bank branch was directed by its head office in New
Delhi to keep the account active as a national heritage and in view of
its importance.
‘The bank will keep the account active as long as possible,’ he said.
In 2007, the balance in the savings account held by late Rajendra
Prasad, the Bharat Ratna awardee, was Rs.1,432. The bank added interest
to the amount, so it is now Rs.1,508.
‘At a time when the present-day politicians declare assets worth
billions, the balance in Rajendra Prasad’s account signifies his
honesty and integrity in public life. It is a lesson for the young,’
another bank official said.
According to bank officials, no one has come forward till date to
withdraw the amount as there was no nominee for the account. Rajendra
Prasad’s descendants have already migrated out of Bihar. Bank officials
said that the account was an asset for the bank.
Rajendra Prasad was born Dec 3, 1884, at Zeradei in Bihar’s Siwan
district and died Feb 28, 1963, in Patna. After 12 years as president -
from 1950 to 1962 - he retired and was subsequently awarded the Bharat
Ratna, the nation’s highest civilian honour.
He spent the last months of his life at the Sadaqat Ashram in Patna.

It is now one full week since terrorists attacked the landmarks of
Mumbai. Amidst the 24 hour media coverage, for me, the haunting
image of the attack has been our ill equipped policemen fighting the
armed to the teeth cowards from hell. Think of the lone RPF
constable at CST throwing a chair to distract attention of a
terrorist so that he can fire from his obsolete .303 rifle. Think of
ATS Chief Karkare trying to fit a useless bullet proof vest. Think
of armed with lathi Mumbai police personnel trying to stop the Skoda
of the terrorist at Girgaum Chowpatty. Think of the army man getting
down from the army truck with a 5 kg battery and equally heavy
communication equipment. Think of the NSG commandos reaching Taj in
the morning of 27th in BEST buses. What would have happened if
another terrorist had laid siege on the tin bus of BEST and deflated
its tyre?

Most of our policemen bravely fought the cowards, but did they have
a chance to succeed? We are a brave country but we have let
ourselves down by failing to look after those who are responsible
for our security. We have seen any number of talk shows on our TVs
about how spectacularly the government has failed. We have lampooned
our politicians. But after all this, what?

I propose that the Government of India immediately set up a Civil
Defence fund of India where all of us can contribute according to
our capacity. Let this fund be created under an act of Parliament
with water tight regulations to ensure that the Achutanandans of
this country cannot fiddle with this fund for their own agenda.
Further, utilization of this fund can be linked to the police
reforms which have been resisted by our ruling classes for the last
several decades making policing a hand maiden of their nefarious
designs.

The contribution to the fund can be made exempt from income tax. Its
management can be done by a highly empowered and autonomous board
consisting of eminent men and women who will oversee its
utilization. The utilization should be restricted to policing
infrastructure of the country: central para military forces such as
NSG, CRPF, CISF, RPF, BSF and so on and the state police. A broad
outline is given below:

Expense on  Percentage
Equipment 60%
� Firearms � Small and Large
� Transportation: Armored vehicles, Boats, Helicopters,
aircrafts
� Surveillance-Radars, Sonars, unmanned aircraft
� Safety Equipment -Bullet proof vests
� Intelligence gathering Equipments
Training 20%
For welfare of police martyr families 5%
Exceptional bravery awards 3%
Discretion of the board (for other items related to related to
policing) 12%
Exclusions: Luxury transportation such as expensive cars for senior
officers, luxury aircraft.


Supervisory Board

Leaders  Percentage
Eminent industrialists, business leaders from the private industry
	 30%
Security Specialists viz. Retired IPS, Retired Armed Force Officers,
Retired Intelligence Officers 30%
Specialist in strategic affairs 20%
Politicians
� Union Home Minister
� A person appointed by Leader of opposition in the Parliament
(Shadow home minister) 2 in number
Other eminent persons like scientists, academics and the like
	 Remaining percentage
Exclusions: All serving officers of the government, Retired civil
officers like IAS, revenue service etc (Police Service and
Intelligence service being the only exception)

This has been done in the past. Our IITs and IIMs are a result of
such farsighted legislation which the Arjun Singhs of this world
have not been able to destroy in spite of their best efforts. Hence
I am confident this can be done. Let us put pressure on the central
government to enact such legislation in the coming session of the
parliament itself. Once this is passed, let us contribute whole
heartedly to this fund to make it a grand success.

When the terrorist strikes again, let this be a battle by well armed
men. Let not another constable be seen firing from a first world war
vintage .303 to combat the next cowardly terrorist. A few of us will
recall the fearlessness in the eyes of the young CRPF constables who
defeated the nefarious designs of the terrorists during the
parliament attack. Well armed and well trained, our brave men can
show how the terrorists can be tamed.

in 8 hours with Biological or Nuclear material, they could have made india a

When Kandhar hijack happened, NSG could barely reach Amritsar, where the plane

       LETTER TO
       PRIMEMINISTER

       Dear Mr. Prime
       minister
       I am a typical mouse from
       Mumbai. In the local train compartment which has capacity of 100 persons,
       I travel with 500 more mouse. Mouse at least squeak but we don't even do
       that.
       Today I heard your speech.
       In which you said 'NO BODY WOULD BE SPARED'. I would like to remind you
       that fourteen years has passed since serial bomb blast in Mumbai took
       place. Dawood was the main conspirator. Till today he is not caught. All
       our bolywood actors, our builders, our Gutka king meets him but your
       Government can not catch him. Reason is simple; all your ministers are
       hand in glove with him. If any attempt is made to catch him everybody will
       be exposed. Your statement 'NOBODY WOULD BE SPARED' is nothing but a cruel
       joke on this unfortunate people of


  India .
       Enough is enough. As such
       after seeing terrorist attack carried out by about a dozen young boys I
       realize that if same thing continues days are not away when terrorist will
       attack by air, destroy our nuclear reactor and there will be one more
       Hiroshima .

       We the people are left
       with only one mantra. Womb to Bomb to Tomb. You promised Mumbaikar
       Shanghai what you have given us is Jalianwala
       Baug.
       Today only your home
       minister resigned. What took you so long to kick out this joker? Only
       reason was that he was loyal to Gandhi family. Loyalty to Gandhi family is
       more important than blood of innocent people, isn't
       it?
       I am born and bought up in
       Mumbai for last fifty eight years. Believe me corruption in Maharashtra is
       worse than that in Bihar . Look at all the
       politician, Sharad Pawar, Chagan Bhujbal, Narayan Rane, Bal Thackray ,
       Gopinath Munde, Raj Thackray, Vilasrao Deshmukh all are rolling in money.
        Vilasrao Deshmukh is one of the worst Chief minister I have seen.
       His only business is to increase the FSI every other day, make money and
       send it to
  Delhi so Congress can fight next
       election. Now the clown has found new way and will increase FSI for
       fisherman so they can build concrete house right on sea shore. Next time
       terrorist can comfortably live in those house , enjoy the beauty of sea
       and then attack the Mumbai at their will.
       Recently I had to purchase
       house in Mumbai. I met about two dozen builders. Everybody wanted about
       30% in black. A common person like me knows this and with all your
       intelligent agency & CBI you and your finance minister are not aware
       of it. Where all the black money goes? To the underworld isn't it? Our
       politicians take help of these goondas to vacate people by force. I myself
       was victim of it. If you have time please come to me, I will tell you
       everything.
       If this has been land of
       fools, idiots then I would not have ever cared to write you this letter.
       Just see the tragedy, on one side we are reaching moon, people are so
       intelligent and on other side you politician has converted nectar into
       deadly poison. I am everything Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Schedule caste,
       OBC, Muslim OBC, Christian Schedule caste, Creamy Schedule caste only what
       I am not is INDIAN. You politician have raped every part of mother

       India by your policy of divide
       and rule. Some elements of society are trying to divide Mumbai with north
       and south
  India . These elements were
       comfortably hiding last week in their holes like a rat does. Their
       activities month back were not less than terrorists, the only difference
       was no bullet.
       Take example of former
       president Abdul Kalam. Such a intelligent person, such a fine human being.
       You politician didn't even spare him.  Your party along with
       opposition joined the hands, because politician feels they are supreme and
       there is no place for good person.
       Dear Mr Prime minister you
       are one of the most intelligent person, most learned person. Just wake up,
       be a real SARDAR. First and foremost expose all selfish politician. Ask
       Swiss bank to give name of all Indian account holder. Give reins of CBI to
       independent agency. Let them find wolf among us There will be political
       upheaval but that will better than dance of death which we are witnessing
       every day.  Just give us ambient where we can work honestly and
       without fear. Let there be rule of law. Everything else will be taken care
       of.
       Choice is yours Mr. Prime
       Minister. Do you want to be lead by one person or you want to lead the
       nation of 100 Crore people?
