SMS & Mail flooded against UPA

The Jan Lokpal Bill and agitation of Anna Hazare has evoked tremendous support of the public. Many have joined in rallies and demonstration at Ramlila Ground and other parts of the country, but many more are enjoying the phase by passing funny SMSs and Mails  making  mockry of UPA goverment and PM Manmohansingh .

These messages are expressing the anger of public towards the mis-management of government in dealing with Anna Hazare, Civil Society and Ramdev.

A few examples are presented here:

WHAT THE BRITISHERS DIDN?T SUCCEED IN DOING, WE ARE EXCELLING IN!!
Sir Winston Churchill wrote 64 years ago about India :

"Power will go to the hands of rascals, rogues, freebooters; all Indian leaders will be of low caliber & men of straw. They will have sweet tongues & silly hearts. They will fight amongst themselves for power & India will be lost in political squabbles. A day would come when even air & water would be taxed in India."

We are indeed an incredible NATION; we have worked very hard and we have indeed proved him right.....

House of Home Minister Chidambaram Burgled.

Home Minister Chidambaram
When Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram was busy making plans to arrest 73 year old civil activist Anna Hazare and his supporters, his ancestral home near Karaikudi in Tamil Nadu was burgled.


The house where the burglary happened is the ancestral property of Chidambaram and his relatives. It is in Kandanur near Karaikudi, which is around 430 km from Chennai and is used by the family members to conduct weddings and other major functions.

According to Police the burglary came to light on Monday when the caretaker went to the house and found some rooms and cupboards on the first and ground floors were broken into. The burglars seemed to have gained entry by removing the roof tiles.

Police said finger print and dog squads were sent to the spot to gather clues. The loss estimate is not known as the owners or their representatives are yet to arrive. Police said Chidambaram or his family do not reside there but he does have a share in the property.

Ban or No Ban Issue in "Aarakshan" is a reality

Prakash Jha, Director
Politics in India is to lure a section of society and not the nation. In this democracy to raise ones point is difficult if it does not please the people in power. Result is a political ban to the films which have been approved for its content by the censor board. Latest of the them was Aarakshan.

The film directed by Prakash Jha has a theme on caste based reservation which is haunting the society. Twenty five years ago then Prime Minister V.P. Singh opened the pandora box of Mandal Commission to consolidate his position which he had got by defaming Rajiv Gandhi who had supported and carved his political career. To nurture his ambitions he divided the society into two parts for ever and put the talent factor behind. He failed to win over the subsequent elections by this tactics, but his successors also could not dare to repeal the reservation quota.

The film "Aarakshan" has story plot based on reservation so was banned by three state governments of Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Andhra Pradesh. All these are ruled by different political parties, which shows that the issue is a matter of convenience.

How true the depth of objections is, can be understood by the remarks of the committee which banned the release of film in Punjab. “Since the overall message of the movie is positive, the committee feels that the movie may be released in the State of Punjab after making the amendments as suggested above,” the committee added.

Andhra Pradesh is the state where Congress is standing on the week ground and can not afford to give any opportunities to Jagmohan Reddy. For Mayavati, Dalit sensationalism is most important factor. However, she is forgetting the fact that in her last victory it was the distracted votes of non dalits which had got diverted from Congress and BJP, that helped her win the crown. But image manoeuvring is unavoidable in politics and she is a Dalit PM in waiting.

The heat of the damage done by the caste based reservation is not felt by the society so severely as the unreserved population tried to consol it self with the private sector which saw a trajectory growth path due to the bold steps taken by P.V. Narsimha Rao and Atal Bihari Vajpai to open the economy and delicence.

The economy globally is under recession and is being handled very badly by UPA government in its current tenure. The result would be a large number of working population start looking towards the government and PSU jobs very soon. That would be the time when again the issue raised by Prakash Jha would be seen on street again as was in 1987-88.

One may force the director to delete the scene of Reservation written with blood from the film, but it is a future of the Indian society, if not handled carefully.

Will Anna Hold "Anshan" at this Jantar Mantar?

Anna Hazare and team first wanted to do fasting agitation at the Jantra Mantra, often called the Jantar Mantar, which is located in the heart of Capital city New Delhi. The objective was probably that when the parliament session is on, it is advantageous to be close to the parliament.


Jantra Mantar was built by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Jaipur- a mathematician and astronomer king. The work was started in the year 1724 with the task of revising the calendar and astronomical tables. The beautiful astronomical architecture consists of 13 astronomy instruments.

Jantar Mantar in 2011
Unfortunately, in that century Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah and his successors and the rest of India was facing the heat of British aggression. These building also met with dust of time. If the photograph of 1857 is seen non of these protestors would come to Jantar Mantar and hold rallies.

Today, this renovated place is favourite site for tourists as well as political demonstrators. But will they prefer if its picture of condition of site in 1857 is shown to them?
