Democratic India or Communist India - ayu s (social)

Presently, whenever and wherever any debacle breaks out related to Democracy, an image comes of India spontaneously in one's mind and being the largest living democracy in the world we also feel a sense of pride in it.
But in recent times many pandits argue about this type of governance being the most effective n refined version of modern governments especially for the highly diversified and populated country like India. After facing such a tragic and tyrant present situation our motherland really needs some reformatory changes.

The biggest advantage of a democratic government is considered to be that power is not concentrated only in few hands but amongst each and every single individual of nation.
But is it really so, does everyone enjoys equal rights here in India?
 It is not a very difficult quarry watching most of our politicians including certified robbing elites like Mayawati whose sandals come from Mumbai to Lucknow from a charted plane. Legit?? or should i precise it as a shocking-funny-bitter but a true scenario.

So, we are the proud owners of a Democratic multi-party system where every minor group can raise their voice by electing their own representative to the parliamentary house, sounds good know?
But isnt it the galactic reason of wide-spreading differences among the different communities of India, be it the Bodo leader who emphasizes the communal riots in North-East obligating millions of people to go homeless,
or  Mr fearless-shameless-merciless RAJ THAKREY whose only motive seems to be following the british sowed policy of "Divide and Rule" who has annexed the power to an extent where he continuously delivers public speeches against north Indians and yet no one can even dare to touch him.
I doubt if the founders of this set of governance ever imagined such barbarous fruits.

And then on just another pole i watch such mind-freaking cases.
And it is this "Government of the people, by the people, for the people" where civilians like her faces such havoc's.
Horrendus! Isn't it?

Wait.... there's more on the other side of coin, on a very contrary node,
Doesn't the parliamentary process of discussing which is no longer seems to be left for discussing the nationwide concerned issues but to tickle out the cons of the oppositions parties and effects the working efficiency of a government, and hence the mainstream growth of the country as the most important decisions take a complete era to be finalized.
In fact, these days neither the government nor the opposition seems to be interested in any type of discussions or debates, instead they find it easy to just forbid the complete sessions for their selfish reasons and wreak the nation interest completely (The most recent example is the as usual dirty politics going on coal-gate, the worst part being the demand of shutting down and cancelling all the coal mine licenses and ignoring the fact how adversely it would effect the energy resources of the country which directly would be corresponding to its economic growth ).

And these day, it is being observed that there's no one who actually cares to listen what does a common man wants, instead an ill potitics always grows round there.
For instance I remember when this year's railway budget was announced, majority of people seemed to be happy for the steps being taken to upgrade the conditions of our trains and there were no such hard feelings for the nominal rise of ticket-fares but our loving mamata didi (don't know why) but couldn't accept those measures being taken and rest we all know.. Railway minister (no matter if he belongs to his own party) was replaced.

And as if this much is not enough, there is another phase which adds up all, ie a small segment of our media who under the flag of Right to speech, Right to express and Right to freedom does every possible stupidity to misguide and provoke people, and shows utter irresponsibilities towards thier Fundamental duties of being the awared and responsible citizens.

Yesterday i was in a discussion with a flock of people who were fractionally amused and shocked that why do India doesn't have any significant role in the International polity?
And then i got an answer that India is so very much engaged with its domestic issues be it the dirty politics or the corruption or communal riots or some activist movements, how can we concentrate on what is happening in the outside world if we are just too much occupied and obsessed in all these menacing actions.
It is really a shame, that, today many people doesn't find either way any better option to choose their representatives  no matter who is the ruling party, they all are corrupt.

On the other hand,
If we see China- the most populous communist country in the world,
its ok if the people their enjoy relatively lesser Rights but today everybody accepted that China is growing at an stupendous rate is recognised as a global power.
How is it possible that two countries who started thier journey at nearly same time being more or less in similar situation, and today one of them went approximately 2 decades ahead of the latter one?
Is it the difference in the forms of Government they persist?

Does India persist a tag of being "RELIABLE"(or not) - ayu s (global polity)


Relations with India have always been and I am sure will be one of the most important foreign policy priorities of our country. Our mutual ties of friendship are filled with sympathy, and trust, and openness. And we must say frankly that they were never overshadowed by disagreements or conflict. This understanding - this is indeed the common heritage of our peoples. It is valued and cherished in our country, in Russia, and in India. And we are rightfully proud of so close, so close relations between our countries.
— Dmitry Medvedev, about relations with India
It was the statement given by the prime minister of Russia Mr Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev recently when our prime minister Mr Manmohan Singh went to Russia.

Something to cherish! isn't it?

Well, if i count on my fingers, it is one of the most applicable and desired need of an hour.
Ya, definitely it is, being in this modern world diplomacy, where the relationships and friendships are just being made to tickle out the self interest and one's own profit, such unbreakable and amiable bonding between the two leading International giants one being the largest country on the planet and other being the largest democracy in the world, really, have something to cherish!

In this modern world, after the 2nd world war, where the different blogs of nations were getting polarised according to thier needs and greeds readily keeping the relation, sentiments, freindiship on the stake of "utilisationism", there was building a very evident, chronic, fiducial and authentic bonding and the salient feature was that the two countries upholding such a bond had two opposite longitudes in their type of governance,
ie
One being the building block of communism - U.S.S.R and other being The world's largest democracy - India
This could happen because of Pt. Nehru's personal attraction towards Communism.
At that point of time who would have even imagined that this diplomatic alliance would be one of the most influential  and important tie-up b/w the two emerging powerhouses of '21st' century.

After India got independence on 15th august 1947,
U.S.S.R supported india open-handedly, providing us with capital, technology and most importantly armed appliances in order to sustain a stablised and relatively stronger military (There is a clear evidence of Indian military being totally infuenced by that of Russian both in armature and technically).
It is being cognized that, they used to trade arms and equipments with us on a very nominal terms of pulses and cereals.
Further adding to it, they also agreed to trade in Rupees and not Ruble (U.S.S.R national currency) which was a way stronger and globally recognised currency at that time.
Such type of diplomatic measures were never seen before (for any kind of formal international relations).
In early 1960's some tactful agreements b/w the 2 nations also costed soviet union in minifying relations with China.
Indo-Russia
Joint Military exercise 
In the same era India was provided with a enormous and stupendous supply of warloads for its ever-ending battle with its counter-part pakistan.[Experts also quote that the 1971 war bought the glory of being victorious to India only because it had the backing-up mercy of soviet union as India was fighting the battle after being embarrasingly trashed by china in indo-sino war of 1962 who was now taking a indirect pro-active part in the battle by supplying arms to pakistan.]

So, as we can clearly see soviet union helped us on every platform. It also used its global influence and world dominance to help us. it can also be stated that Industrialization in india could only be sustained through the help of soviets. Steel plants, energy reservoirs and related plants, BHEL, and our national space programs are the most prominent live examples of soviet viable help.
this way if we say that U.S.S.R had given enough illustrations of being an authentic friend,
then i think most of the Indians would agree to this fact...(as per the different surveys it is being recognised that the largest fraction of indian communtiy grants Russia to be the closest friend.)

But if we see the counter policy of india towards russia, is it equally biased towards their fellow country?
Navy generals of the respective countries
The biggest flaw in the "required per-requisite" indian policy towards the soviet union was the initiative taken by us to form a NON-ALIGN MOVEMENT (NAM) during cold war era b/w the two super power nations of that time ie - the U.S.S.R and the U.S of A when the respective supporting countries were joining either of the two poles willingly or forcefully.
At that point of time, keeping in mind the support and conglobulance with soviets, one would have thought of india being openly supporting them at such an alarming situation.
But such a step was recognised as a major set back to the mutual diplomacy of the two nations by some diplomats.

Another outburst of the indian policy came after the fall of soviet union and when the direct successor of U.S.S.R, Russian federation reclaimed their debts given to india of about 3 thousand crore rupees (as they were fighting against vastly spread poverty and civil wars after their collapse),
India subsequently refused to repay their loan and asked if they can pay it in Ruble whose global value had a gigantic fall. Till this date India didn't pay thier debt.
All these incidents saw a relative decline in the relations of the two nations.

But, might be it referred to the strong roots of our friendship that it somehow endured by the passage of time and till now Russia is india's biggest strategical partner and biggest supplier of indian arms and equipments. Most of the Indian warloads are either made in Russia or made in India with the technical help of Russia.
BRICS SUMMIT
Today Indo-Russian tie-up can be seen as one of the strongest and most influenced tie-up worldwide, strategically and is set to rebuild even stronger relations keeping in mind that both the nations are economically 'fast growing' countries and coming across another evident persona that both are the founding members of BRICS.




But the only question arises among the leading diplomats is that after watching the past indian policy can Russia actually rely over India?

Inside story! "Indian" - pra p (social)

WELCOME TO INDIA!!
BIZZARE.OVERLODED.TECHNICOLOUR.CHAOTIC.GOLMAAL. JUGAAD.CHALTA HAI

You’d run out of words long before you’d run out of an India that all those words describe. And in not just on but many, including “Unicode”..
India is not a contradiction in terms .It sets the terms for contradictions. It’s the world’s biggest and the most energetic democracy, where people chuck out governments as frequently as they chuck out garbage. It’s a byword for immense wealth and terrible poverty, a realm of billionaires and beggars, the mahakumbh mela and the biggest malls, tantriks and twitter, the numerous mighty goddesses and the shameless “female foeticide, a country of unemployment and “U.S employers”, a boast of “Hamare Sanskar” and the ever increasing crime rate in the country.
India is nothing short of a circus, featuring 33 crore gods, countless fake godmen ( the most popular one being Nirmal baba) and infinite worshippers. And when it comes to talking about India how we can forget “The art of Corruption” with tax stealing ‘Priyanka Chopras’ and  money eating ‘Kalmadis’, but inspite all these India stands at the top of the “developing economies” list .With chinkara hunting ‘Salman Khans’ and vast kinds of shifting cultivation ,India is famous for maintaining its ecology.
 But still on a happy note ,we have Sania Nehwals and Sachin Tendulkars to be proud of.Even after the 26/11 attacks on Mumbai we stood up united .Even though we are regarded a poor country, we have successfully hosted the auspicious and stupendous Commonwealth games.

Here we would like to showcase the new terminology of India:
CHALTA HAI INDIA: Aren’t we all aware about the infamous “I don’t care” and “ignoring” attitude. Dumping garbage on roads, cops sleeping on duty, the most recent and upsetting example of molestation in Guwahati where no one cared to stop and help whereas just preferred to watch the shameless act  ….and the list of this ‘Chalta hai’ attitude is endless
JUGAAD INDIA: Innovative fixes, enterprising street mechanics and business ideas, bending/bypassing of rules, getting admission into educational institutions through donations rather than merit…I think we manitians need not be told what is Jugaad about, after  all we consider  ourselves to be best at it..
BIZZARE INDIA: Strange customs and  uncouth taboos,  creepy rituals and superstitions, crazily mis-spelt signboards , and weird advertising taglines.
CHAOTIC INDIA: Complete absence of order and system in our daily life, overcrowded trains, buses, roads, traffic rules never being followed, urinating anywhere and everywhere, and many more such examples
INCREDIBLE INDIA: The spectacular beauty, heritage and medley of colour that is India. Multicultural and multilingual India is world famous for its beautiful monuments, enthralling fairs, colourful dresses ,wild life and how can we forget the inexplicable magical Bollywood .
So what about the changes that will make this INDIFFERENT INDIA ,the truly INCREDIBLE INDIA, not just in our opinions but also that of the foreign visitors we welcome each day .Even though we are proud to belong to this culturally rich and beautiful country we must together pledge to make it socially beautiful too.As it has been rightly said “Ask not what your country has done for you, ask what you have done for your country”
  As a last word, a call to the youth and teenagers of our country to help in the intellectual progress of our country. The youth is all powerful and if we join hands and dedicate ourselves to the mission of India’s upliftment, no super power can hold us back. Let us change this “CHALTA HAI “attitude of India but redefine it as “KEEP MOVING”!!. On the last note
                                                BE PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN
                                                          JAI HO!

The World we ignore "THE LIVES ON STREETS" - PraP (Social)


As night folds her black wings above the world, the privileged retire to a peaceful and cozy slumber , while the night ghosts plunder those on the streets .These people are often considered to be trespassers, criminals, thieves and anti social elements but in reality they are victims of brutality ,slavery , helplessness and fate. They are victims not criminals. These children leading a life on streets suffer exploitation at an early age which makes them tough and resistant but they loose their innonce and indulge in violent activities .These uneducated and uninformed  children sprout like wild weeds of the society. Most of us are unaware of the dark lives of these homeless people and what made them to choose such  miserable lives .


Try to ask yourselves these questions :
Do we ever raise our voice against the exploitation of small children ?
Do we ever think of the plight of the people we so often considers as nuisance for us?
 Do we ever try to know what distress compelled them to resort such lives?
 The answer is an inevitable “NO”!!!!!
This is because our comfortable life, which is the gift of our parents to us, has lured us away from what is “being human”. After all this do we have the right to                                  call ourselves civilized and educated???

Mother Teresa once said “Let us not wait for leaders, but do person to person”.

 Being the youth of the country it is our responsibility to solve this problem…they also when educated and properly guided will contribute to the growth of our own India. It is our duty to stretch our helping hands and transform these weeds into healthy plants. And this can be done by acknowledging and adopting the idea of  “Each one teach one” because once they are educated they themselves will be able to choose a suitable profession and pull themselves out of utter penury. Let us not wait for governments to pass laws and big NGOs to come to their help instead we should take the first step .Take out some time from our so called very busy schedules .It is good to watch “Satyamev Jayate “but not taking any message from it and practicing it in our daily lives is nothing but waste of those 90 minutes. If each one of us does a little a lot goes done. So on this Independence day let us make a resolution to reach out and help and uplift the down trodden .Let’s discharge our duty towards mankind and reduce the sufferings of each people, be their hope and bring a little ray of hope in their lives so that this dusk of misery and pain may usher in a morning full of sunshine, happiness and hopes in the lives of those in despair.

                           Heal  the  worl d  to  make  it  a better place ,

                                                   For you  and  me
                                And  for  the  entire  human  race.

Assam's sorrow - 'INDIAN vs FOREIGNERS' !! -aps (current)



The 7 Sister States  also called "Paradise Unexplored" is a name given to the contiguous states of Arunachal PradeshAssamMeghalayaManipurMizoramNagaland and Tripura in northeastern India. this vague picture portray these states as an epitome of honesty, austerity n serenity atleast what i believed about the seven sisters after reading some really exemplary articles about peace n purity of states like mizoram.But never knew about  or never payed attention towards the darker side of the picture perfect ..


Yes talking about the brutal ASSAM RIOTS...the 'BODO - MUSLIM' clashes...refering to the july 2012 fratricidal killing news in kokrajhar district of assam. out of curiosity i tried to dig deeper concerning this pitiful act...



Through my briefer case study i found out that these problems are existing since 1983 or even before that..bodo is the community reciding since hundreds of years..n calling their region as BODOLAND...as seen in the map..

Tribals keep killing immigrant bengali -speaking muslims under the anti foreigners agitation. They are unhappy with the bangladeshis migrating to assam's districts ever since the partition time from east pakistan...





Many peace treaties like first bodo acccord (1993) and the second bodo accord (2003) (followif the failure of the first) have been framed to deal with the agitated bodo groups..as bodos demanded for seperate statehood ie "Divide Assam 50-50" but the govt agreed on settling the issue by giving them an autonomous council under terms and conditions.. givng rise to the hopes of development and peace in BTAD (bodoland territorial autonomous district) consisting of four districts (KOKRAJHAR,CHIRANG,BAKSA and UDALGURI) which is ruled by BTC (bodoland territorial council) n kokrajhar being Bodoland's capital.


Some blame state government and some central government's inaction on issues such as 'illegal immigration', a sense of loss of rights among non-bodos in the BTC (bodoland territorial council) -ruled areas,killling,abduction and extortion by former militants have kept the situation on boil... rendering 77 people dead n 4 lacs homeless till date..


TARUN GOGOI ..cm of assam himself said  the issue worsened cause of the "delayed arrival of central forces " which Mr. Chidambaram opposed by giving political statements..

Opposition parties like the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have also slammed the government's role into the whole incident and the administration's failure to help the affected people.





The agitation is all over the country..- the violence which took place in Mumbai after this act where two persons died and 14 others were injured when a protest here against Assam riots turned violent as demonstrators torched vehicles, including media vans, and pelted stones, leading the police to fire in the air and use batons to the disperse the unruly mob...not only in Mumbai but even in other parts of the country like Banglore,Lucknow and many more, the agitation is on hype..as per the records around 17000 assamese moved back to the north-eastern regions.People all over these areas are showing their agitation (arouse by heart sucking photos ,sms, mms spreading like forest fire all over the nation), raj thakrey's 'i don't care for the official permission' rally , then the reduction of bulk sms count to 5 sms per day etc etc are all the outcomes of the same issue.

Putting my personal views down...a thought just crossed my mind "THE PROTESTS, THE RALLYS,putting cars,two wheelers n shops on arson"..I mean..Is this the right way of waking up the sleepy heads Central government ministers to take actions??...Is this the right way of spreading awareness among the common man who is unaware of the NE problem??...Is this the right way to convert a state's sorrow to a nationwide reckless suffering ?? 

The answer is a big "NO"...its totally unethical ..at this time what we need to do is bring our mature sides as a contributing citizen and search ways to curb the sufferings of our NE brothers ..make govt realise "its time to take strict actions" through more ethical ways peacefully.
tt

Although prime minister Manmohan Singh has announced to issue Rs 300 crore for the rehabilitation of the victims...but we are aware of this fact that thousands of these people are living in rahabilitation camps since 17 years or so...some serious strict actions needs to be taken to curb this issue rather than making it a 'vote bank' raising source by simply visiting the affected people and showing sympaties..crticizing opposition or putting the baggage of irresponsibe attitudes from one shoulder to another.. 

In the end i would like to wind up saying that their is nothing to conclude over this topic...just a change in the thought process train and putting it in a more positive track of sense of responsibility,togetherness, peace and harmony..united we stand,divided we fall...this cliche needs to b inculcated and wiser steps needs to b taken !

Israel : A fouly masscare! - ayu s (G.S)

Till the date, when i didn't read the origin of  Israel-palestine conflict, i just had an image of Israel being an amicable state with India and that "it" is one of the most technologically advanced nations having one of the most efficient and cruel Intelligence "MOSSAD". 
But once i went through the details of this never ending battle i found out Israel being a death eater from the Harry Potter series.. it might be a exaggerated adjective but still if it something which claims the lives  and livings of people then it is one and the same thing!

"I should much rather see reasonable agreement with the Arabs on the basis of living together in peace than the creation of a Jewish State." -Albert Einstein


The reasons behind the statement by this great man are -:

Suppose, if on a random rainy day, a stranger comes to your house pleading you to get shelter and you happily agree to it, even helping him by giving him better hospitality and after some time he blows you out of your own house with the help of his friends claiming that his ancestors lived in this house some thousand years ago.
how would you feel????
You will try every possible way to replicate the situation and how can you curse that scummy fellow.

That is what the complete story of palestinians.
Here the jews being that scummy fellow who migrated from the western and northern europe when they were devastated and forced to leave there homelands, claiming the land to be the jewish birthmark.
And once they were settled there, they started havocing and crushing palestinians pressurizing them to flee away from their very own homeland, obviously with the help of U.S where jews were in a prominent place both in terms of political n economical , hence prompting the officials.

And then the endless war for the occupancy of holy land of both the ethnic groups "JERUSALEM" began where either side claimed it to be their holy land for obvious reasons and hence today it is divided into west jerusalem where Isreali communtiy lives and East jerusalem where palestinian communtiy lives, Israeli being the majority.
Jews also occupied most of the fertile and useful lands including GAZA STRIP and seized the complete area from them.

This led to the but obvious restlessness among the latter natives and hence many activists groups were formed to rule out the jews.
The biggest was k/a FATAH which was led under PALESTINE LIBERATION PARTY (PLO)
Its chairman was Mr. Yasir Arafat who lately became the first president of Palestine National Authority.
they led many explorations against the encroachers but were always suppressed.
Also, when Arab super power of that time,Egypt, helped the protestants to get back their land too, were lost and plundered.


If we estimate about the future of this country then one must admit that it is possibly a never ending battle as it is the clash of two very different ideologies and it enhances the quotation of "Survivor being the fittest" rather adding up a modern day definition of "Powerful being the Survivors and hence masters."


Israel always followed the zero tolerance policy against palestine and hence bruted them mercilessly.
This resulted in mass destruction of Palestine in terms of both capital and human resources.
There are many different statics proving that in the endless battle of Zionist(Jews) and Islam(Palestine),
Palestinians are the one who suffered immense loss as compared to the Israelis:
