Why I am not Jes suis Whatever : No one has the right to cause EMOTIONAL VIOLENCE

This is why I am not Je suis whatever............As a writer I take pride in saying things as I see them, devoid of prejudices. Charlee Hebdo whatever has printed another cover with a cartoon which is outright provocation and insensitive. If you cant be part of solution then DONT AGGRAVATE an already tense situation . Read about France's atrocities on its Muslim colonies like Algeria and you will get a bigger complete Picture. Its not that they are all good people with no wrong deeds. These CNN people seem to be living in world of their own. Oversimplifications are dangerous. It is not that the WEST is all good with no follies . They turn blind to Saudi Arabia funding the militants because of their oil interests. It is Saudi Arabia which sends the money to militants from Pakistan to Philippines to promote its Wahabi Islam. But USA doesn't act on it because of their interests. They play a big role in keeping SHIA-SUNNI divide b/w Iran and Saudi Arabia. They support autocracies to keep their interests. Not many know that US ignored IS in its early phase rather it was happy that there was some additional help in fighting Asad regime in Syria . From Israel-Palestine to North south Korea to India Pakistan , these folks find a place to play their game everywhere. It was not Palestine that massacred the Jews in 2nd world war . They were massacred in Europe. Taliban was also a CIA setup. The world doesn't think in binary terms, with us or against us like they want us to . WE must be careful in not going overboard to support these idiots and keep telling them in most unequivocal terms that India is not an ally they like to have. I condemn printing the cartoons. That is akin to verbal violence. The cartoons with sexual connotations should not be seen as freedom of speech.

Terror Boat: Pakistan at it again, sends Terror Boat to India to unleash terror



A suspicious boat from Karachi which is being called ‘Terror Boat’ on the net sphere (read internet) was intercepted by the coast guard about 350 Kilometers west from Porbandar, Gujarat. After being chased for about an hour by the vigilant coast guard, it blew up in flames. The ‘Terror Boat’ was carrying explosives and four people were sighted on it by the surveillance system before it self-exploded. The event occurred on Wednesday midnight. Soon after the incident was reported, twitter was abuzz with ‘Terror Boat’ related Tweets.
(Coast Guard Foils Terror bit by intercepting ‘Terror Boat’ loaded with explosives)

Terror Boat From Pakistan

This operation was done after IB provided intelligence report to the coast guards ‘to intercept a suspect fishing boat’. Phone conversations tapped by the IB officials led to this swift action. The coast guard Dornier aircraft and surveillance boats were put in to action for the search operation. The coast guard did follow the ‘engaging rules’ as per the laws of the sea for navigation in international waters as enshrined in the INCLOS (International Convention on Laws of the Sea). The warnings were given and after about an hour of chasing the boat ‘imploded’


A similar operation was mounted by ‘Lashkar e Taiba’ in 2008 when a lone boat ‘Kuber’ was converted into a ‘Terror Boat’ after it was hijacked by the Pakistani terrorists before went on to unleash terror in Mumbai on 26th November,2008.


Good job done by IB and coast guard but it should serve as a reminder that India remains very vulnerable to Pakistan supported terrorism.

Bharat Ratna for Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Madan Mohan Malviya



Government announced Bharat Ratna for former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and founder of Banaras Hindu University and Hindu Mahasabha leader Madan Mohan Malviya. Bharat Ratna is India’s highest civilian honor awarded to persons who have made exceptional contributions in any field of human endeavor. The decision comes ahead of 90th birth anniversary of the former and 153rd birth anniversary of the later. 

Bharat Ratna is awarded by the president of India upon receiving recommendations from the prime minister limited to a maximum of three persons. Conferring Bharat Ratna to these two comes at a time when there are voices within BJP to recognize those who have made significant contributions to India but have been ignored by the previous governments. In the past there have been controversies, the most recent when Sachin Tendulkar was conferred the same. Many great personalities in the past have denied receiving the Padma awards saying that they will not receive anything below Bharat Ratna, Singer S. Janki and dancer Sitara Devi who passed away recently denied receiving the Padma awards. 

Bharat Ratna awardee is seventh in the order of precedence however they are prohibited from using the title before name. Bharat Ratna recipients get a sanad (certificate) and a peepal leaf shaped medallion. There is no cash prize associated with the award. So far 45 people have been conferred this prestigious award including 12 who were awarded posthumously.

The first recipients of the Bharat Ratna were politician C. Rajagopalachari, scientist C. V. Raman and philosopher and academician Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who were honored in 1954.Sachin Tendulkar is the youngest to receive this award at the age of 40. So far only 2 non-Indians have been awarded Bharat Ratna. They are Nelson Mandela, first Black president of South Africa and Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan of Pakistan. Mother Teresa is the first and only naturalized Indian to receive Bharat Ratna in 1980.









Indian Housewives's care valued at 15000 per year : was that a joke


Tamil Nadu tribunal values Indian Housewives care at 15000 rupees per year 

A Tamil Nadu tribunal has said that the salary of an Indian housewives if monetized would be 15000 annually.

Selvi, 31, earning Rs 5,000 per month by selling clothes, died in an accident on April 23, 2004. Her husband, daughter aged 5 years at that time, and mother moved the tribunal for compensation. Disbelieving the claim of independent income for Selvi as it was not supported by any documents, the tribunal concluded that her 'notional income' as a homemaker was Rs 15,000 annually.


Justice Vimala, noting that a house wife's services, described as gratuitous service, has not been considered by the tribunal, said: "When the child was aged 5 years, it lost the lap of the mother, which nobody can afford. The guidance and support needed from the mother, especially for a girl child, need not be emphasized. The tribunal, unmindful of the consequences of the death, has quantified the compensation in a way which nobody can tolerate.

 Indian women are undoubtedly among the most compassionate and selfless in this world. It’s a pity that a great country like ours has not been able to give them their due. The origin of a child is a mother and is a woman and it is a woman who as the caregiver to the whole family often gets taken for granted, ignored unappreciated for her duties. She continues to relentlessly fulfill her duties as a mother, a daughter and a wife. There may be many jokes about wives but still Indian women prove to be the best at every role they take to. Anyone who ‘understands’ India would know this. India needs to do better in terms of gender equality. 

What is value of selfless caring
