What the ....

Su Swamy is trying to prosecute Hasmukh aadhia on corruption charges for which he needs sanction from PMO.
Does he have any idea who Aadhia is ? This guy is pretty close to Fin Min & Ketli.
He makes most of the decisions we read in media re Finance matters.
What ever Swamy's intentions are there is time and place for every fight.

in fact, such a translation must be given if possible (exceptions only when the poster does not know the language) as board policy.

प्रणब मुखर्जी के "संघम् शरणम् गच्छामि" पर उनकी पुत्री शर्मिष्ठा मुखर्जी के विलाप में जैसे समूची लिबरल चेतना का आर्तनाद गूंज उठा है!
On Pranab Mukherjee's acceptance of the RSS invite, his daughter's liberal consciousness has suddenly woken up, loudly.

यह वही शर्मिष्ठा हैं, जिन्होंने वर्ष 2012 में निर्भया गैंगरेप कांड के बाद अपने भाई अभिजीत की "डेंटिंग पेंटिंग" टिप्पणी पर कहा था- "पता नहीं, अभी पापा पर क्या गुज़र रही होगी!"
This is the same Sharmishtha who in 2012 Nirbhaya case had commented on her brother 'Denting painting' comment that 'She couldn't imagine what her father must be going through'.

हाऊ सैड कि उन्हीं पापा ने अब उन्हें दग़ा दे दिया! शर्मिष्ठा पर अब क्या गुज़र रही होगी!
How sad that the same father has betrayed her. What she must be going through!

शर्मिष्ठा कह रही हैं- "ओह पापा, यह तुमने क्या कर दिया!"
Must be saying 'Oh Father, what have you done?'


लेकिन पापा कोई मूरख तो हैं नहीं. पापा मिट्टी के मनमोहन नहीं है! पापा भारत के पूर्व राष्ट्रपति हैं. पापा भारत के प्रधानमंत्री बनते बनते रह गए थे. पापा से निष्णात और अनुभवी राजनेता आज भारतीय राजनीतिक पटल पर कम ही हैं.
But her father is no idiot. He is not Manmohan. He is the ex-President of India, who almost became the PM of India. Such an experience leader are very few in India today.


किंतु शर्मिष्ठा को लगता है कि वे पापा से अधिक बुद्धिमान हैं. "ओह पापा, यह आपने क्या कर दिया!" लेकिन पापा ने किया क्या? एक स्पीच ही तो दी!
But Sharmishtha feels she is more intelligent than her father. 'Oh father, what have you done?' But what did her father do? He just gave 1 speech!

या राष्ट्रीय स्वयंसेवक संघ के न्योते पर स्पीच देना भारत देश के संविधान द्वारा दिए गए मूलभूत अधिकारों के विरुद्ध है?
Or has delivering a speech at RSS's invitation become against the Indian constitution or Fundamental rights?

इसको मैं एक दूसरी दृष्टि से देखता हूं.
I see this in a different light.
एक चीज़ होती है असहमति.
Disagreement is one thing
दूसरी चीज़ होती है नस्ली घृणा.
Racist/Sheer hatred is another.
अंग्रेज़ी में इस दूसरी वाली चीज़ को "पैथोलॉजिकल हेट्रेड" कहेंगे.
This is called Pathological Hatred.

मैं तुम्हारे विचारों से सहमत नहीं हूं, यह डेमोक्रेसी है.
I don't agree with your views - This is Democracy.
मैं तुम्हारे साथ स्टेज शेयर नहीं करूंगा, यह फ़ासिज़्म है, रेसिज़्म है, पैथोलॉजिकल हेट्रेड है.
I will not share a stage with you - this is Fascism, Racism and Pathological Hatred.
अर्जेंटीना इज़रायल के साथ फ़ुटबॉल नहीं खेलेगा.
Argentina will not play Football with Israel.
क्योंकि दुनिया में इकलौती इज़रायल की फ़ौज ही तो मिलिट्री ऑपरेशन करती है, बाकी मुल्क़ों ने तो कभी एक मक्खी भी नहीं मारी.
As if no other Army in the world is taking military operatioons and no other army has hurt even a fly!

प्रणब मुखर्जी राष्ट्रीय स्वयंसेवक संघ के मंच पर नहीं जाएंगे.
Pranab Mukherjee will not go to Sangh's stage.
क्योंकि एक राष्ट्रीय स्वयंसेवक संघ ही असंवैधानिक संस्था है, शेष भारत में जो कुछ हो रहा है, वह सब शुभ है, पवित्र है.
Because only RSS is an un-constitutional organisation in India, rest everyone is holy, moral & completely perfect.
यह नवदलितवाद है, जिसमें छूत-अछूत के नए नियम हैं. और मज़े की बात है कि यह सब समावेश, सहिष्णुता और लोकतंत्र के नाम पर हो रहा है.
This is neo-casteism, where untouchability has new norms and the joke is that all this is happening under the construct of 'Samavesh(?)', Tolerance & Democracy.
बहिष्कार की इस अपील को नस्लवादी दृष्टिकोण से देखना ज़रूरी है.
The call to boycott should be seen under this racist PoV.

जब भारत देश के वार्ताकार पाकिस्तान के "नॉन स्टेट एक्टर्स" से संवाद कर सकते हैं तो भारत का पूर्व राष्ट्रपति एक विचारधारागत आधार वाली संस्था के मंच से भाषण क्यों नहीं दे सकता?
When Indian interlocutors can talk to Non-State actors of Pakistan, then why can't Ex-Prez go to a ideological org stage to deliver a speech?

नस्ली घृणा की यह प्रवृत्ति नई नहीं है.
Racist hatred like this is not new.

हिंदी साहित्य की दुनिया में किसी सार्वजनिक कार्यक्रम में राष्ट्रीय स्वयंसेवक संघ के किसी नेता के साथ मंच साझा करना ही उस लेखक के सार्वजनिक बहिष्कार के लिए पर्याप्त होता है. ऐसी हिंदी साहित्य की अस्पृश्यता की नीति है.
In the Hindu literature world, if a writer shared space with any BJP-RSS leader, he or she would be boycotted. This is well known policy.
वैसे लेखक का हुक्का पानी बंद. जात बाहर. मेरा कुआं तेरा कुआं अलग. रोटी बेटी रिश्ता ख़त्म.
Complete ostracization, even to a family level.
इनाम लौटाऊ संघ के अध्यक्ष श्री उदय प्रकाश स्वयं इस स्थिति का सामना कर चुके हैं.
Shri Uday Prakash has faced this issue/

मैनेजर पांडेय जीवनपर्यंत मार्क्सवाद का पिष्टपेषण करते रहे. एक दिन उनकी एक पूजा-पाठ की तस्वीर बरामद हुई. तुरंत उनका बहिष्कार कर दिया गया.
Manager Pandey was a lifelong Marxist but when a picture of him doing pooja was found, he was ostracized.

नामवर ने वय के अनुसार ईश्वर का नाम लिया, शोर मच गया. भाई लोगों को क्या उम्मीद थी कि नामवर इस बुढ़ापे में आकर नमाज़ पढ़ेंगे!
<<<????>>>
"कटी है रात तो हंगामा ग़ूस्तरी में तेरी
सहर क़रीब है अल्लाह का नाम ले साक़ी!"

मैं हिंदी के एक कवि को जानता था, जो किसी कार्यक्रम में बुलाए जाने पर सबसे पहले यह पूछते थे कि कहीं उसमें किसी भाजपा या संघ के व्यक्ति को तो नहीं बुलाया गया है. गोयाकि, दुनिया में एक ही बुराई है और वह है हिंदू राष्ट्रवाद. बाक़ी सब मैत्री, स्नेह और संवाद के योग्य हैं, ईवन नक्सली और आतंकवादी भी उस बेनिफ़िट ऑफ़ डाउट के पात्र हैं, किंतु आरएसएस नहीं. बहुत ख़ूब!
I knew a Hindu poet who, before going to any event, used to enquire whether any BJP-RSS leader was coming there or not. As if only one ill is there in the world - Hindu nationalism. Everything else is friendly and open to interaction, even Naxals & Terrorists but not RSS.

फिर भी, प्रणब मुखर्जी का संघम् शरणम् इतना भी अाकस्मिक नहीं है.

1984 में इंदिरा गांधी की हत्या के समय प्रणब दा भारत के प्रधानमंत्री बनने के सर्वथा योग्य व्यक्ति थे. किंवदंतियां तो यह भी हैं कि इंदिरा हत्याकांड की ख़बर मिलते ही प्रणब दा ने "रूंधे गले से शपथ ग्रहण" की तैयारियां शुरू कर दी थीं.
1984 when Indira died, Pranab was preparing for swearing in.

किंतु प्रधानमंत्री बने राजीव गांधी और प्रणब दा का पत्ता कैबिनेट से भी कट गया. उन्होंने एक नई पार्टी बनाई. कालांतर में कांग्रेस में लौटे, किंतु इस अपमान और उपेक्षा को कभी भुला नहीं पाए.
But Rajiv became PM and Pranab did not even make it to Cabinet. He made a new party but came back to Congress. But he has never forgotten this.

कहा जा रहा है कि प्रणब मुखर्जी ने कांग्रेस के साथ वही किया है, जो लालकृष्ण आडवाणी ने भाजपा के साथ किया था. किंतु भारत विभाजन के सूत्रधार मोहम्मद अली जिन्ना की प्रशंसा करने पर उठे विवाद को तो फिर भी समझा जा सकता था!
He has done what LK advani did to BJP. But praising architect of partition of India is still suspect & worthy of criticism.

1990 के पहले तक सांप्रदायिकता एक चुनावी मुद्दा नहीं था, हमें इस बात को याद रखना चाहिए. 1989 का चुनाव भ्रष्टाचार के मसले पर जीता गया था. 1990 में जातिगत आरक्षण के मुद्दे ने देश को घेर लिया. 1991 में राम जन्मभूमि मंदिर का मसला भारतीय राजनीति के केंद्र में आ गया. 1992 में बाबरी ढांचा विध्वंस के साथ एक चुनावी पूंजी के रूप में हिंदू राजनीति की सही मायनों में शुरुआत होती है. 1991 के राजीव हत्याकांड ने भारतीय जनता पार्टी के राजतिलक को कुछ समय के लिए टाल दिया, किंतु तभी यह निश्चित हो चुका था कि भारतीय राजनीति अब बदल गई है.
How RJB changed Indian political landscape.

यही वह दौर था, जब "हिंदू राष्ट्रवाद एक बुराई है" के विचार ने "हिंदू राष्ट्रवाद ही इकलौती बुराई है" का रूप ले लिया और भारत का बौद्धिक वर्ग अपना विवेक गंवा बैठा.
This was the time when 'Hindu Nationalism is bad' converted to 'Hindu nationalism is the ONLY bad thing' - amongst Indian intellectuals who lost their minds.

आज इस बौद्धिक वर्ग की स्थिति यह है कि वह हिंदू राष्ट्रवाद का विरोध करने के लिए किसी भी हद तक जा सकता है, चाहे इसके लिए उसे इस्लामिक आतंकवाद का अंधा समर्थन ही क्यों ना करना पड़े.
Today, the same intellectuals are to the point, when just to oppose Hindu nationalism, they will blindly support Islamic terrorism.

प्रणब मुखर्जी जैसे मंजे हुए राजनेता ने संघ के मंच पर स्पीच देकर और हेडगेवार को भारत मां का सुपुत्र बताकर कांग्रेस से चाहे जैसा हिसाब चुकता किया हो, उन्होंने भारतीय राजनीति में परस्पर संवाद की एक स्वस्थ परंपरा का सूत्रपात तो किया ही है, इसके लिए उन्हें शुभकामनाएं दी जानी चाहिए.

सनद रहे, केवल असत्य को ही संवाद से भय होता है.

मैं तो चाहूंगा कि राष्ट्रीय स्वयंसेवक संघ के आधारभूत विचारों पर राष्ट्रीय पटल पर स्वस्थ विमर्श किया जाए. इसमें भारत विभाजन और गांधीवध के कारणों पर भी सभी कोणों से बात हो. नाथूराम गोडसे की दलीलों पर चिंतन हो. क्यों नहीं!
I would like that along with RSS, we should also discuss PoVs related to Gandhi-killing and Partition, and why not also Nathuram Godse's views?

और इस बात को भी याद रखा जाए कि प्रणब मुखर्जी केवल शर्मिष्ठा के पिता ही नहीं, सभी कांग्रेसियों के "बाप" भी हैं!

फिर भी, प्रणब मुखर्जी का संघम् शरणम् इतना भी अाकस्मिक नहीं है.

Even then, the visit to the Sangh by Pranab Mukherji is not that sudden.

Budhham sharanam gachhami, Dharmam sharanam gachhami, Sangham sharanam gachhami is an old Buddhist mantra meaning I take refuge in Buddha , I take refuge in dharma and I take refuge in sangha (the community of monks and disciples). It is a regular chant I remember from childhood. In time it was adapted somewhat pejoratively to refer to the RSS followers and in their case only the last line was used. In this context it is sarcasm combined with the old reference to the RSS.
1984 में इंदिरा गांधी की हत्या के समय प्रणब दा भारत के प्रधानमंत्री बनने के सर्वथा योग्य व्यक्ति थे. किंवदंतियां तो यह भी हैं कि इंदिरा हत्याकांड की ख़बर मिलते ही प्रणब दा ने "रूंधे गले से शपथ ग्रहण" की तैयारियां शुरू कर दी थीं.

सनद रहे, केवल असत्य को ही संवाद से भय होता है.

A well-seasoned political leader like Pranab Mukherji has spoken from the podium of the RSS and praised Hedgewar as a great son of India. In doing so he has not only settled his account with the Congress, but has also laid the foundation of a healthy tradition of debate in Indian politics. For this he must be felicitated.

To be noted, only Untruth is afraid of debate.
मैं तो चाहूंगा कि राष्ट्रीय स्वयंसेवक संघ के आधारभूत विचारों पर राष्ट्रीय पटल पर स्वस्थ विमर्श किया जाए. इसमें भारत विभाजन और गांधीवध के कारणों पर भी सभी कोणों से बात हो. नाथूराम गोडसे की दलीलों पर चिंतन हो. क्यों नहीं!

सुशोभित

One should also not forget that Pranab Mukherji is not just the father of Sharmishtha but also the father of all the Congressmen (father in this sense used the way Amitabh Bachchan would say 'Main tumhara baap hoon' i.e. I am bigger and more powerful than any of you)

Guys, even if there is a tiny chance that PranabJi can be roped into the BJP, I doubt it will significantly alter BJP’s chances either way in 2019. It will be somewhat similar to roping in Kiran Bedi for Delhi elections in 2015. Whatever is left of Congoon popularity is only due to Queen madam’s European origins. A significant amount of Dalits, Muslims, and other OBCs look at her as this great white messiah who can deliver them ‘justice’ from ‘evil Brahmins’. Entire Congoon strategy is centered around that. Take that out, there is nothing left in Cong other than secularism gas

good post by sushobhit! even a track-thoo 'dialogue' with RSS is worthy of just a distant thoo-thoo wonlee! here then, the equation changes to 'RSS < aap+congress' from RSS/aap/congress.

BTW, IIRC, he's the same sushobhit who had a rather big showdown with someone i know on FB some months back; the 'allegation' on him at that time being that he was a 'liberal' voice of Hindi-lekhan (with the usual hallmarks of dissing RSS, Hinduttwa, & all the freebies which come usually bundled with fiberalism in India).

Dipak Ji, my Hindi is very rusty - have not written or read anything in it for years although we speak it at home all the time. Urdu was never good. But language is one thing you can easily recollect thankfully.

This guy writes very well indeed. His FB page is quite interesting, and led me to a whole treasure trove of other writers, of course in Hindi. It takes me quite an effort to read it all and understand it, slow going, but brilliant nevertheless. The other guy I discovered is Atul Kumar Rai who is also very talented.

Thanks for sharing. His post on Bharat Niyati is also quite thought provoking.

a couple more prolific Hindi writers i'd recommend following on FB are, Vinay Jha, and Tufail Chaturvedi. they're though more than just 'writers', and are socially very active. the former is an aged person and uses more of Hindi words in his posts than Hindustani, which is why even sometimes some Hindi-speaking people might struggle a little bit to understand each and every word of his. is from Bihar. also, is not very sympathetic towards BJP too (used to be active in some Hindu orgs earlier i think and later fought for Hindu issues, but was disappointed with BJP's apparently ho-hum attitude...was also insulted by Smriti Irani at Varanasi....a rather long story). nevertheless, he seems to have a very good grip on affairs and seems quite experienced and knowledgeable; a sample, one of his recent posts about 'Dharma-nirpekshata', as espoused by our DDM, v/s 'Panth-nirpekshata', which is what (the latter) the 'secularism' of Indian constitution is based upon:

"धर्मनिरपेक्षता" : एक संविधान-विरुद्ध अवधारणा

मीडिया ने एक गलत शब्द "धर्मनिरपेक्षता" का प्रचार कर रखा है । यह झूठा प्रचार किया जाता है कि भारत एक "धर्मनिरपेक्ष" राष्ट्र है । संविधान में ४२ वें संशोधन (१९७६ ई.) के तहत जब "सेक्युलर" शब्द संविधान के Preamble (उद्देशिका) में जोड़ा गया उसी समय इसपर बहस हुई थी कि अंग्रेजी शब्द "सेक्युलर" का हिंदी अनुवाद "धर्मनिरपेक्ष" हो या न हो । भाकपा सांसद भोगेन्द्र झा ने 'धर्म' शब्द की शास्त्रीय परिभाषा बताते हुए कहा कि 'धर्म' शब्द का अर्थ रिलिजन नहीं है। उदाहरणार्थ बताया गया कि महाभारत में धर्म के दस लक्षण गिनाये गए हैं : "धृति क्षमा दमः अस्तेयं शौचम् इन्द्रिय-निग्रहः । धीः विद्या सत्यम अक्रोध दशकं धर्म लक्षणम् ॥ " इन लक्षणों से युक्त नास्तिक व्यक्ति भी धार्मिक माना जाएगा । पश्चिम के भारतविद् भी 'धर्म' शब्द का अनुवाद रिलिजन न करके Traditional Law करते हैं । लेकिन भारत में ऐसे मूर्खों की कमी नहीं है जो न तो अपने देश का संविधान पढ़ते हैं और न ही शास्त्रों का अध्ययन अध्ययन करते हैं । इंदिरा गांधी और अटल बिहारी वाजपेयी जैसे लोगों ने भी इस मत का समर्थन किया । अतः सर्वसम्मति से संसद ने स्वीकार किया कि संविधान के Preamble (उद्देशिका) में ४२ वें संशोधन के अन्तर्गत जो "सेक्युलर" शब्द जोड़ा गया, उसका हिंदी अनुवाद आधिकारिक तौर पर "धर्मनिरपेक्ष" न करके "पंथनिरपेक्ष" किया जाए ।
संविधान में ४२ वाँ संशोधन अत्यधिक व्यापक था प्रावधान विवादास्पद थे जो अदालत की शक्तियों पर कुठाराघात करते थे । अतः १९७७ में जनता पार्टी की सरकार बनने पर ४२ वें संशोधन के कुछ प्रावधानों को हटाया गया । बाद में सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने भी अदालत सम्बन्धी कुछ गलत प्रावधानों को संविधान-विरुद्ध ठहराया । लेकिन Preamble (उद्देशिका) में जोड़े गए शब्द "सेक्युलर" और इसके हिंदी अनुवाद "पंथनिरपेक्ष" को कभी नहीं हटाया गया । भारतीय संविधान में जहां कही भी "सेक्युलर" शब्द है, इसका अनुवाद "धर्मनिरपेक्ष" कहीं भी नहीं है, सर्वदा "पंथनिरपेक्ष" ही है । भारतीय संविधान को "धर्मनिरपेक्ष" कहने वाले पर अदालत में मुकदमा भी किया जा सकता है, यद्यपि आजतक ऐसा किसी ने किया नहीं है, क्योंकि जानबूझकर "धर्मनिरपेक्ष" शब्द का प्रयोग करने वाले तर्क दे सकते हैं की उन्होंने केवल अंग्रेजी में संविधान पढ़ा है और भूलवश "सेक्युलर" शब्द का अनुवाद "धर्मनिरपेक्ष" कर दिया । लेकिन यह संयोग नहीं है कि ३८ वर्षों के बाद भी भारत के समस्त तथाकथिक "सेक्युलर" लेखकों ने "धर्मनिरपेक्ष" शब्द का ही प्रचलन चला रखा है । इसका कारण यह है कि नास्तिकों को न केवल समस्त रिलीजियस पंथों से नफरत है, बल्कि उन्हें धर्म, अर्थात सत्य-अहिंसा-आदि से भी घृणा है । वरना क्या कारण है कि हिंदी में भारतीय संविधजां के आरम्भिक पृष्ठ पर ही भारत को "पंथनिरपेक्ष" कहा गया है जो इन्हे नहीं दिखता ? Preamble (उद्देशिका) में भारत को १९५० ईस्वी में "SOVEREIGN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC" कहा गया था जिसे १९७६ में बदलकर " "SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC" किया गया जो आजतक है , जिसमे "सेक्युलर" का हिंदी अनुवाद "पंथनिरपेक्ष" है । इंटरनेट पर मुझे पूरा संविधान हिंदी में नहीं मिल सका है, लेकिन संविधान का दूसरा परिशिष्ट इंटरनेट पर उपलब्ध है, जिसमे Preamble (उद्देशिका) में आये "सेक्युलर" शब्द का अनुवाद "पंथनिरपेक्ष" है, "धर्मनिरपेक्ष" नहीं । संविधान के इस दूसरे परिशिष्ट का भी अर्थ भारत के मूर्ख बुद्धिजीवियों ने नहीं समझा है जिसंमे कहा गया है कि भारत को Preamble (उद्देशिका) में "SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC" कहा जाएगा लेकिन जम्मू और कश्मीर में यह लागू नहीं होगा, वहाँ के लिए भारत एक "SOVEREIGN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC" ही रहेगा ! अर्थात जम्मू और कश्मीर में भारतीय राष्ट्र का चरित्र न तो समाजवादी होगा और न ही "सेक्युलर" ! ऐसा शेख अब्दुल्लाह को खुश करने के लिए किया गया था जिनसे इंदिरा गांधी जी की कुछ ही समय पहले संधि हुई थी । इतना ही नहीं, Preamble (उद्देशिका) की पूर्वांतिम (penultimate ) पैरा में भारत की 'अखंडता' को भी जम्मू और कश्मीर पर लागू नहीं माना गया । इसका अर्थ यह हुआ कि जम्मू और कश्मीर भारत का अखंड अंग नहीं है ! जिन्हे विश्वास न हो, संविधान के दूसरे परिशिष्ट पढ़ लें (http://hindi.webdunia.com/samayik/samvi ... ndix_2.htm) जिसमे निम्नोक्त कथन मिलेगा :

1. उद्देशिका

(क) पहले पैरा में 'समाजवादी पंथ निरपेक्ष' का लोप करें।

(ख) पूर्वांतिम पैरा में 'और अखंडता' का लोप करें।

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tufail Chaturvedi OTOH is a writer, poet and shaayar. is quite a brazen and unapologetic actual and 'internet Hindoo'. uses Hindustani copiously in his posts, which are generally brief(er), precise (he usually builds his posts almost like how Ravinar starts/builds his blogposts, using some parallel, real-world examples, as if movie-scripts), pointed and hard-hitting many-a-times. recently saw a speech of his and was quite impressed and influenced by what he had to say, how succintly he put it and wrapped it all up, and the import of which reaching the audience and the viewer directly and clearly. sharing it here (kshama, non-Hindi speaking members):

Interesting, which is why the RSS is so vilified and yet feared because they teach self-defense, among other things.

What he says about Islam and its ideology is well known to anybody who is willing to read the Koran, nothing says it more clearly than the book everybody knows of but very few non-muslims ever read.

The one sentence he speaks about local ghettos: "If anybody has any doubt, go with your wife/mother to one of these places and see what happens". This is so true, I've experienced it myself, walking to a restaurant in Nizamuddin with my family, going through the street from the parking lot outside was a journey I am not willing to ever take again. Those who've been there will know what I am talking about.

Karims is in Jama masjid area not Nizamuddin iirc.

Primus ji what happened there? Just the staring/lecherous eyes or something else?

I know a female friend who was groped and verbally abused in Fraser Town in Bangalore, Kerala. Ironically, she had gone to eat ‘ramazan delicacies’. Quickly learnrd her lessons though.

RM, that's correct. It was as if the entire male population was staring at us (I was the only adult male accompanying two women and two young girls) hungrily as we walked to and back from the place. It is hard to describe, but there were these little shack like places along the street and these bearded men were just sitting around scratching themselves deliberately and staring at us. I've never felt so uncomfortable in any public space, and I've been in South Bronx and Harlem alone after midnight, trying to fill up gas in my car, approached by drunk and menacing guys - back in the day.

I've sat with wild cheetahs while they were tearing into a warthog and have been on top of Kopjes in the Serengeti with lions a few feet away, have not had the feeling of impending doom as much.

In another life I used to work in the Jama Masjid area and visited the local schools for health inspections. Had to take rickshaws to traverse the narrow lanes. That was another experience altogether but at the time I was much younger and alone, so was not afraid.

A close relative is married to a European woman. He took her to Karim's along with their daughter and said that people starting following them and they had to literally run from the place.

Chandragupta Ji, the one I am talking about is indeed in Nizamuddin.

In the end, in both situations (with my relative and me), although there was no physical contact, the tension in the air was physically palpable and at any time it could have turned into a major disaster. These areas are no-go for the police I am told so God help you if you get assaulted.

Nitin Gadkari threatens legal action after Shehla Rashid accuses him of planning to kill PM ; and Sheila Rashid does a "down-hill sking" which even beats the Pakistanis of Kargil war fame. She says her tweet was "sarcastic".

By the way has any one noticed, "death threats" being received by "seculars" as well? After the news that Modi has a life threat (with letters to support that claim), Jehadi sympathisers like Umar Khalid says he has got a death threat (delivered to his pal Jignesh Mewani :roll:). Burkha Dutt also says that there are folks who have threatened her. I feel this is a calculated attempt to downplay the life threat on the PM of the country.
crams wrote:A significant amount of Dalits, Muslims, and other OBCs look at her as this great white messiah who can deliver them ‘justice’ from ‘evil Brahmins’. Entire Congoon strategy is centered around that. Take that out, there is nothing left in Cong other than secularism gas
The Indian National Congress is just remaining in this shape due to its allegiance with the Nehru-Ghandi dynasty. The moment Nehru-Ghandis lose their clout, that is the end of this party. The party does not have any pan-India 2nd level of leadership who can actually run the ship. The Congress strategy of aligning with state level tiny parties, I feel is going to be a big shot at its own legs.

Meanwhile if any one is having a good laugh it would be M/s Yeddy & A.Shah ;). With even the Dy.CM in Karnataka calling his folks for "fire fighting", things are not looking good.
1. DyCM asks party MPs to do firefighting . May be the training staff at R.A Mundkur Fire & Emergency Services Academy can be deputed to teach the MLAs a few basic lessons in fire fighting.
2. Will speak to high command; resolve issues, offers Siddaramaiah . The Liaison Officer still seems to be putting his best leg forward.
3. Allocation of portfolios sets off rift in JD(S) . JD(S) folks not happy with portfolios, Congress MPs not happy asking to sit idle with no ministerial posts. Lingayath MLAs actually taken for a ride. And rumours of BJP already offering these folks solace & comfort. The entire govt. machinery is now in stand still mode.
4. Karnataka's new higher education minister is Class 8 pass. To do justice to the man, he himself had clearly said that with his educational background he would not be able to do much in the education sector.

Baloon flyers, Pranab Mukherjee hardly could win a LS seat in WB, so to expect him to make any sort of dent in Indian Political chaos is laughable.
Also being a Former President kinda bars him from taking up the office of PM or for that matter any other office ever again. So to think he was sending any message to anyone is fooling our own self.
Anyways I have no trust in someone who was part of 'Rape Bharat' club during Sonia Regime, nor he suddenly has become sagacious and influential.
I read his speech. It was as if some teacher was reading for my 10th standard history book, boring, insipid, no insight and nothing substantial.
He like Advani is an Old man now who went when he was invited. There are no political signals in it for anyone.
After retirement, everyone becomes smart, is true even for a retd. president.
Better focus on upcoming spinning off of congress offshoot in KA and Yedi becoming CM finally :)

Random thoughts, Naxals, commies and fakes are so against FDI in India. How come they don't oppose the largest FDI that comes in thru christian and Islamic charities for conversion and breaking India.

Cause they all have the same aim, a "post Hindu India" and collaborates outside India with these insist that they must take up causes which keeps India underdeveloped and backward and non- competitive. You will be surprised the number from these groups whose present or next generation are able to emigrate on fellowships/ scholarships without academic brilliance.

Funnily I don't think these Indian BIF forces realise that there value is only as long as India is united and Hindu.

Once This USP is lost, India will be treated like Pakistan or Bangladesh by Gulf masters needed only for numbers and low level manual jobs,
while Xtian world would treat us worse than African or Latin American countries. We seem to have forgotten our slavery and rape in less than 70 years.
Ofcourse it will become a good basked case for the commies and psudo-Liberals to shed tears and do some poverty tours.

Along with that, These BIF forces will get dumped in the dustbin of western sinister dump.

(for those who didn't watch or couldn't understand) in a few words, the gist of the speech was - this struggle and fight against the brutal polideology of islam is to be fought by us commoners onlee. a sympathetic govt could only help us so much; a military can only help so much. rather, its we who got to fight it out in our gali-mohallas (lit., in our lanes & neighbourhoods). and more importantly and in a complete, meaningful manner, this ideology will have to be countered only by ideology. further, raving & ranting about on SM would be of very very limited help, if any. rather, the least one can do is to help those slogging & fighting it on the ground, financially, logistically, in whatever way one can (without being explicit, Tufail ji tactically avoids taking name(s) of those he & his group helped, smart of him, but one can understand about whom he is talking. they were able to collect Rs. 19,64,000 in a matter of just 2-3 days or so to help *someone* in the dadri case, a family who told that Tufail ji & his friends were the second people who came to visit them in 6 or so months, and the first one to help financially).

P.S. - thanks for sharing about the terrible experiences, Primus ji & Chandragupta ji. these days my mind barely rests in peace. ignorance would've been bliss. but, alas!
my brother once went with his friends to that famed mohd ali road of Mumbai during ramzan to stuff the 'delicacies', during his college youth(ful) days. never did he go back again. reason? the kind-of smug attitude of the hawkers, & kafirs like his group being served stale items. obviously enough for him to exclaim & swear (lit.) 'bah! phaack 'em!'
