GOODBYE

No I did not come back for I-told-you-so's. That is not required. Many friends requested a formal good bye. It was nice talking to you.

And yes ! I am not from IRAS. I am not from IR either. A friend from IRAS (proudly) introduced me to this site and I found it interesting.

Those of you who are uncomfortable with their dhimmitude are invited to following links.

Buddha The Enlightened One

NB : I am not wishing you a happy new year. Because for the dhimmis there can not be any happy year.

RAM JETHMALANI

I never thought that I would have an ally in Ram Jethmalani. But here he is as is evident from a piece he wrote for Tehelka. Read on. Article in original can be read by clicking at the link below.

 

Urgent Manifesto: What Next? Having got rid of the malignant incubus that the Left proved to be, the government must now promptly put in place all the economic measures which they promoted, says RAM JETHMALANI Tuesday, 22 July 2008, will long be remembered by historians as a day of infamy with their heads hanging in shame. On that day our reputation as a nation sank to a new low. We occupied about the seventy-fifth rank on the corruption scale of world nations. We will now perhaps cross hundred. The sacred floor of the Indian Parliament became the cremation ground of the corpse of Indian self-respect. I believe this is no exaggeration. Not that corruption amongst Indian politicians is new or even recent; it has existed for decades. So long as Gandhiji lived, it either did not exist or was invisible. After him, it has become a part of our way of life. What happened on that shameful day must have caused agony to Gandhiji's soul but malicious delight to the soul of Winston Churchill. The nation must seriously confront this truth and ponder: 'what next?' Retired Bureaucrat, Mr. C.P. Srivastava , in his book Corruption: India's Enemy Within has reminded us that after more than five decades of independence, India is beset with numerous critical problems of which the most alarming and lethal is the pervasive corruption in administration, society, business, in fact, the entire polity. Corruption is not simply a moral issue; it has far reaching and devastating practical consequences. The most distressing and debasing result is the abysmal poverty of one-half of the population which has been denied the most basic needs of a human being. Dogs and cats of the rich have a more covetable existence. The solution is not easy because top bureaucrats, law enforcing agencies, central government ministers and unfortunately even the higher judiciary are not free from the virus. As usual some suggest more laws. This prescription will only worsen the disease. The old aphorism that ‘power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely' has undergone a significant change. It now reads ‘power corrupts but the prospect of losing power corrupts absolutely'. We must start with a complete change in our attitude to the corrupt and their vulgar exhibition of illicit gains. We must exhibit contempt, practise ostracism and deny them any access to our homes and businesses.The immediate task, however, is to deal with the case of three members of the Parliament who shocked their fellow members by flashing wads of thousand rupee notes and crying for the blood of those who they got them from. The bribe givers if any, must be promptly identified, sent to jail and hounded out of public life. These punishments must be cumulative and not alternative. Let me now advert to the flip side of that shameful day. Speaker Somnath Chatterjee deserves the admiration and gratitude of the nation. He enhanced the dignity of his office and his own reputation. It makes me proud that he is a lawyer, a son of another lawyer whom I have had the pleasure of being professionally associated with. I am glad he has appointed a committee to investigate this matter although I fear they won't make any breakthrough. It has to be investigated by the CBI . The CBI does not have angels but obviously, in a case of this kind, the Delhi police will inspire even less confidence. For obvious reasons the bare mention of the word MPs requires very strong corroboration from independent sources, secured by statutory and custodial interrogative powers. Another enjoyable feature was the speech of the Railway Minister, Laloo Yadav, full of biting humour and subtle satire. Both L.K. Advani and Mayawati must have been squirming when he so artfully demolished their hypocrisy and ridiculed their political ambitions . The closing speech of the prime minister which could only be tabled and not orally delivered, is remarkable for its moderation and sobriety. What I did not like about the speech, however, was his attempt to separate CPM Secretary Prakash Karat from the Left contingent. This certificate of good character for the latter was totally undeserved. He should have boldly declared thus:‘There is nothing right in the Left and nothing left in the Right' There were heart warming and bright spots in the speeches of Asududdin Owaisi, the MP from Hyderabad, Mehboba Mufti of the PDP and my young friend Omar Abdullah of the National Conference. Owaisi said, 'The nuclear deal is not between two communities or religions but governments. We need supplies and we are not getting them. Nobody's independence is compromised in getting the supplies". He ridiculed the Government of West Bengal for claiming to be the friends of Muslims. 28% of the population of the state is Muslim and yet they just hold only 2% of government jobs. Mehbooba Mufti made me proud when supporting the deal, she said 'what is good for the country cannot be bad for the Muslims'. Omar nearly brought the house down when he proclaimed "I am a Muslim and I am an Indian. I see no distinction between the two. The enemy of Indian Muslims are neither Americans nor deals like this (the nuclear deal) . The enemies Indians face are poverty, hunger, unemployment, lack of development and the absence of a voice." I wish he had added the Indian Left to this list. All political parties should be in search of youths with these secular progressive views and they alone should be encouraged to become our rulers. Having got rid of the malignant incubus that the Left proved to be, the government must now promptly put in place all the economic measures which they promoted such as Special Economic Zones, privatisation of airports and all infrastructure projects, inflow of massive foreign investment in insurance, mining, roads and railways. Finance Minister P Chidambaram's defence of the deal was a good lawyer's job besides the formidable statistics of record achievements in the field of agriculture, farm credit and debt relie he produced. He was honest when he made a fair observation that all the growth has not made the life of our poorest citizens any better. This requires to be attended to with the greatest possible urgency and efficiency during the next nine months. The enormous price rise which hurts the poor is not the government's fault. The international price of oil and petroleum products has gone up five times. This has to be explained. Even the developed countries are going through a very bad patch. Our foreign policy must reflect the domestic values of our Constitution: liberty, human rights , secularism, democracy, commitment to international law and abhorrence of war and terrorism. India must eschew ambitions of being a super power in the military sense. It can be the most respected nation of the world by being what Gandhiji taught, the ‘conscience of the world'. We must speak the truth to friend, foe and the neutral alike. Foreign policy cannot be subordinated to the expediency of vote banks. Governments which brazenly pronounce the destruction of other nations or flout decisions of the Security Council must be ticked off in no ambiguous manner. Like wise governments that spawn terrorism of the Wahabi or the Shia variety and all their products, the Hizbullah, Hammas, Fatah the Brotherhood and the like must not be offered any material help or diplomatic recognition. We must strive to create a free, independent State of Palestine but one which respects the existence of the State of Israel with secure borders and with a loyal citizenry. Palestinians should, for once, taste the friendship and co-operation of Israelis before they realise who their real enemies are: the ones who for, sixty years, kept them stateless. With a little common sense and compassion, peace, prosperity and progress can be established in that region. India is a victim of organized terrorism and we cannot connive at it in any part of the world. Immanuel Kant , the German transcendental philosopher, advocated creation of democratic republics to arrive at world peace. Democracies must pool in their resources - material and spiritual and swim or sink together. It should be our endeavour to befriend Pakistan and help it to nurture its newly acquired democracy. The Kashmir problem has almost neared a lasting solution. I hope we have not already missed the bus. I would like to see India and Pakistan locked in an embrace of love and mutual generosity. As I don't hope to live for long, I am in a hurry. We have a border dispute with China. Some kind of intellectual insolvency has made this problem look intractable. We must offer to have the borders settled by the International Court of Justice or by an Arbitral Tribunal. Three judges settled the long tussle between India and Pakistan and no dispute has arisen thereafter. The Chinese Communist leaders have abandoned communist economics long ago and soon the pressure to radically change the current political order will become irresistible. India and the United States, working in tandem, can expedite this development and it will be a great day for world peace and prosperity when we welcome China as the new bride in the democratic family. There is no reason why China and India cannot be great friends . The two ancient civilizations cannot, for long, be at loggerheads. A cabinet reshuffle is in the offing. Dead wood must be chopped off. While loyalty to party leaders should not be the reason for disqualification, it does not imply qualification either. Reputation for absolute integrity, free and rational thinking, confidence of backward classes and the required political experience are imperative needs of the ruling party and the nation. I hope the nation will not be let down.   Ram Jethmalani, a former law minister, is a well-known lawyer and a Rajya Sabha Member.

ABHINAV's GOLD

A very happy independence day to all the colleagues. Beloved India has survived 61 years of dhimmis and the commies and that is an achievement in itself. (oh! I slip again . I hope the great Freefall won't take offence and won't report me to the Authorities.)

THE TIPPING POINT

The coincidence to another coincidence is eerie. India lost 7-2 to Pak in 1982 in hockey and then won the 1983 world cup in cricket. And that has led to the oblivion of hockey and we being always in the top teams in cricket ever since. Therefore, the day that Abhinav won  individual gold so fittingly coincided with our defeat in Lanka. Will it give a fillip to individual sports in India?

Actually we never had the prosperity, thanks s to the commies, which could enable individuals to be able to compete in ‘high cost ‘individual sports. And we didn't have pure communism which could led to setting up of ‘factories' to mass-produce Gold winners a la USSR and now China. As far as costs are concerned cricket is the cheapest and most affordable sport for an individual. No wonder sub continental players excel at it.

Now that quite a few of us are rich-, I hope Karat is not listening-we may expect more and more of athletes excelling in individual events like athletes from the western countries.

VIth PAY COMMISSION

Unconfirmed reports suggest that our officers in JAG/SG are likely to get a much better deal now under the aegis of Mr. Manmohan Singh directed pay commission ‘reform'. This is remarkable because that thug Chidambram remains a socialist thug at heart. My congratulations to them in anticipation.

OUR SENIORS

Oldies failed miserably in Lanka. Bad patches in a series may not amount to much but I hope that if they do not improve, they would be honourable enough to announce their retirement.

WR FALLS TO RAIL-KE-IAS

A friend who was here from Mumbai this week mentioned how the IRTS used machinations and their out and out control of WR  to capture WROA. They  are single-mindedly working to capture FROA. And we .. well...

WE AND THE INFLATION

The guy from the IIM was perhaps right. We the IRASians tend to indulge in grandstanding even where there is no possibility to do so. I invite colleagues to answer few simple questions.

• 1. What is the cost of production of one tonne steel in India?
• 2. How much is the component of freight of the iron ore in that cost? What is the component of iron and steel products in the WPI?
• 3. How many poor in India actually purchase steel or the structures made by using steel?

The fact is that the talk of we contributing to inflation in India is just one big humbug bordering on utter nonsense.(strong words these but I think the crass professional bankruptcy on the part of colleagues in IRAS demands it)

Most of the Indian steel plants are at pitheads. So they are not affected by the iron ore freights. This was in fact pointed out by the current OSD to MR-that we are having higher freight rates for finished steel products (billets, blooms etc.) than for the iron ore. The freight of iron ore actually hits its exporters.

Steel prices in India have now almost become equal to global steel prices. That is why they are not rising further because the cartel that controls steel prices in India fears that if prices rise further imports would become cheaper

Inflation in India has nothing to do with our freight rates. It has been mostly jacked up by the BJP affiliated traders and the speculators so that the voters become angry with the Congress and vote BJP into power.

For every barrel of oil produced daily in the world, about 18 barrels are traded every day in the commodities exchanges of the world. That has jacked up the prices of the crude and not any increase in its production cost and definitely not because of any efforts on the part of that mother of all cartels -OPEC.

In India when steel was selling at 12000/- per MT, most of the wannabe steel tycoons went bust and were bought out by the Big Boys. Same happened with cement which in 2003 was selling at rates lower than those of 1980. So most of our steel plants and cement plants are in the hands of few Families with deep pockets. So they are controlling the prices at will with benign connivance of the govt.

As for we earning the dirty profit, well the socialist thuggery has gone deep into our blood. In addition, at times we in the IRAS try to be more loyal than the king. As per orders of our owners, we are both- a business enterprise and a social service provider. It was Mr. Manmohan Singh who as FM in 1991 had told us to generate our internal resources for the survival even while providing subsidized social services. So why should we be financing the foreign steel producers by keeping the tariffs of iron ore low? Moreover, punish our own manufactures by keeping the freights of finished steel products high?

COMMUNIST THUGS IN OBLIVION

I am sure it must be very tough on the Karat and A B Vardhan to find no camera crews waiting at the door in the morning and nobody to phone to arrange a posting for the cronies who throng  AK Gopalan Bhawan.

SOMEBODY PLEASE ASSURE US

The commies in China have simply gone overboard with the Beijing Olympics. See mom how well I am doing! Even boys in the west are happy with the way I have turned out. The tyrants need maximum doses of approvals for keeping their backbones from shriveling up. The extravaganza of Olympics would give these thugs many more decades of license to keep over a billion people in bondage.

 

Buddha

WHAT IS IN A NAME?

"I hate victims who respect their executioners"- Earl of Chesterfield.

 

I have no issues with the Dhimmis and the Leftists who are always in search of the ‘root cause and the core problem'. To them theirs and to me mine.

After all the Dhimmis and the Leftists are honourable men and women.

But it is not my idea of life to live as some body's protectee where he gives me freedom to practice my religion subject of course to my acceptance of the status of a second class citizen where I need to have five witnesses just to disprove an allegation of blasphemy leveled by just by one believer, and of course payment of jajiya.

We have been down this road before. In fact, we have always been down this road. Since 1191. In fact since the day King Dahir of Sindh was attacked by Bin Kasim.

Pigeon thinks that just because he has closed his eyes, the cat is not there. The cat is not only very much there it is growing bigger by the day.

A thug was ranting in the IE the other day and proposed a Truth and Reconciliation Commission on the lines of South Africa to put right the wrongs committed on the hapless jehadis since the demolition of the Babri Mosque.

Why since the demolition of the Babri Mosque? Why not since the demolition of Somnath Temple? And if today's jehadis are not answerable to Somnath how the men women and children being slaughtered in our markets are responsible for the babri demolition and the Godhra  aftermath. In addition, if what happened in the aftermath of Godhra entitles the jihadists to slaughter the ‘non believing children' why the Godhra itself does not entitle the ‘non believers' to commit all the horrors committed by them in the aftermath of Godhra.

By the way, demolition of the Bamiyan Buddhas makes the Buddhists entitled to how many bomb blasts in the streets and markets populated by the believers? And since Hindus also consider the Buddha the eighth reincarnation of Vishnu, demolition of Bamiyan Buddhas entitles them to how many bomb blasts?

There were two lakh Kashmiri Pandits in the Kashmir valley in 1989. Today there is none. What happened to them? Why no Arundhati writes about them? Why no Teesta Setalvad fights for them? No NDTV runs a feature on them. The Time magazine does not run a cover story on them. Because they are children of a lesser God? Because they do not control half of the world's oil?

In addition, persecution of two lakh Hindus of Kashmir valleys makes Hindus entitled to how many bomb blasts in the streets populated by the believers?

I have no issues with the Dhimmis and the leftists. I am hard pressed for time and cannot afford to waste it on those who have enslaved themselves to the sword of the believers.

Why not a Truth and Reconciliation commission to probe everything that happened since the ‘Direct action Day in Calcutta on 16^th Auguts of 1940. Why not probe what happened in 1947? The believers were living with the non believers for 700 hundred years without any problem so long as they were ‘rulers'. Why can't they live with them as equals in a democracy? Why they need a separate country? Why can't believers live as equals with anybody anywhere in the world. Why are they entitled to a separate nation for themselves?

How many Hindus were there in Pakistan in 1951? How many Hindus are there in Pakistan in 2008? What has happened to them? Where have they gone?

O' Baburaja, the US casualties in IRAQ and Afghanistan are war casualties. Soldiers are paid to die. They may be fighting a wrong war in Iraq but it is a war ordered by their elected government. By no definition, they can be called terrorism casualties. Terrorism is killing children, women and men in the markets.

However, how does it matter? After all, only few hundred are dying and none of them is our relative.

BTW, according to statistics published by the TOI- a paper respected by both the Dhimmis and the Leftists, 70000 Indians have died since terrorism started in India. Higher than dead in Iraq or anywhere else in the world.

However, how does it matter? After all, only few hundred are dying and none of them is our relative

TRUTH IS NOT HATE. TRUTH IS NOT TRASH. TRUTH IS NOT RANTING.

Just show me O' Dhimmis, a single inaccuracy in whatever I have posted.

THOUGHT CONTROL

However, Freefall takes the cake.

Bloggers Park is not part of the IRASTIMES, the webmaster has been kind enough to provide a link to a blogging site on the main page of the magazine. A link, which despite all the persuasions and exhortations by the webmaster nobody uses. It is not my fault if what I say in my blog is discussed in the discussion forums of a website dedicated to the issues of a service of IR.

O' Freefall, TRUTH IS NOT HATE.

I think Freefall should spend some time in the US to understand what freedom of speech and the ‘first amendment' means.

This concludes my sermons on the slaughter of children, women and men in the cities of India.  I will soon resume my analysis of current affairs minus the discussion on terror lest Freefall gets my blog banned.
