Wiki Assange - Wiki leaks

Wiki leaks now a hot talk in the whole world. It uncovers the confidential conversations and files of US to the world countries. Tapes, Cables, files what else it depleted the global diplomacy of United States. Documents which may produce tensions to global powers especially to China, Iran, India, Korea, Iran, Pakistan etc.The bad commend of Hilary regarding the India's effort to get a permanent status in UN, fear on Pakistan nuclear security, Chinese intervention at Korea, commends of Saudi King Abdulla and all.

Whether it is a crime against privacy or the right to know of public. It has a great similarity with Radia tape issues. Ratan Tata has made a suit in Supreme Court that it is against his right for privacy and the opponents were argued that it is the right of public to know. The first one may be right (?). It is obvious that - all communication against the constitution or public should unveil but it should be as per the proceedings of law.

Haritha Vidhyalam

Just after the colorful reality show - Green Kerala Express - a brain child of Sajan Varghese, Dooradarshan now comes up with yet another innovative program called 'Haritha Vidyalayam' an initiative to encourage high-performing government and aided schools in the State and disseminate best practices among them. Why I am so proud to write on this program is it not only creates a new dimension to the world of reality shows but my own school is also in this category to sing the unsung songs of victory. The first such reality show in the country, jointly launched by the General Education Department, the IT@School Project, the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan and the State Institute of Educational Technology. It measures the performance of school by considering academic practices, social initiatives, infrastructure, use of information technology in learning, co-curricular activities and environment and cleanliness.nThis just shows how important it is to have creative and committed teachers and what a difference they can make for the students. I think this is what is really meant by social consciousness.

Thanks to Dooradarshsn. As a professional as well as a well wisher of students I am very much appreciating the efforts of IT@Schools officials. In this modern world many of the parents send their students to private schools in the name of exposure and better education and complaining that the Government schools are not worthful to study. But behind the curtain students from Government schools are getting much exposure than anyone and decorating some higher positions. A close watch to reality, attachment towards community and self realization make them to strive in this competitive world. I am considering my opportunity to study in a Government school as a privilege and fortune which gave me some strong realizations which molded me as a perfect person. 

Away from air conditioned class rooms and high fi friends, I was there as a poor student and be a part of rural poor. A class room without windows which opened the world of freedom for thinking - natural fragrance and igniting wisdom, sometimes fought for lunch - the 'Kanji and Payar'. Some unforgettable events - a naughty boy and a nuisance to all - to friends, teachers and neighbors. But the traditional teachers accepted me as their son and taught. What a great gratification.    

Now I know the grieves of poor, feeling of hunger, pains of disparity and emotion of rural. An approximate idea for handling situations and knowing the pulse of society. 

I am accepting that most of the Government schools have no sufficient infrastructure, teachers and other supporting facilities. Some times it may not be match with our standards and thoughts. We think this is not sufficient for our children to become IAS Officers. An ideal folly....................

I welcome you all to this mega reality show which draws a new facet to such programs and an apparent evidence for the Government education.   

Endosalfan

it is apparent that endosulfan is extremely harmful to human and this can see from Northern Kerala. But unfortunately it not yet proven scientifically. So  even the international conference also  resisted the banning of endosulfan along with the comment of Union Ministers. But no one can reject the truth and plight of those affected by this poisonous chemical While accepting this reality many European countries resisting to use this chemical in their farms. Another fact is that the Kerala based company Hindustan insecticides Ltd. is the major producer of endosulfan and it constitutes 40% global share.

Lastly a news came that in Karnataka it is widely used in cardamom farms.

Now lets consider some victims of endosalfan......

Some of these people believed that it is because of the angry of an evil deity and they offered different things and performed Theyyam to calm down this deity as superstitiously. Poor people - didnt know what was the exact reason

  

Sruthi---age 7. living in vaninagar area of Padre Village. The school is

     

barely 100m from the house. She desperately wants to go there. But the

hilly terrain of the Western ghat and her physical handicap wont let her.

She was born with three deformed limbs- a congenital anomaly. She

hopes around one leg. Her mother died of cancer. Her father is a

farmer.

Narayana Naik--- age 22, his mental and physical growth is retarded.

At the age of 20, he stands at about three feet. He has skin disorder too.

He can make conversation with rudimentary matter. His sister is

suffering from epilepsy.

Ashraf--- age 20, lives in Bellur. His height is only 3 feet, his chest and

back is bulging in front. This gives him difficulty to travel and also to

lay down.

Mlinga Maniyani--- age 34, his finger are bent for the last 15 years.

Sujatha--- she is both mentally and physically handicapped.

Udhaya--- age 11. he cannot crawl or walk and is mentally retarded.

When he was at 1, his parents realized him desirably. He is suffering

from epilepsy.

Kittana---age 21, has cerebral palsy. Brother Sridhar’s mental growth is

retarded. The Kodenkeri stream flows next to their house. Across the

stream lives S Narayan Bhat, with his two nephews suffering from

mental retardness and a 35 year old sister who has epilepsy. Kittana and

Sridhar who are handicapped are looked after by their mother. Kittana

cant eat or walk without help (Resident of swarga area).

15

Subramanya Bhat--- he has dangerous skin diseases. This similar to

psoriasis. All children are suffering from asthma( Resident of Swarga

area ).

Sainaba--- 8 month baby of Muladka Lakshman Veedu. She couldn’t

move her head because of over growth of head. She was always crying

due to the pain of her head.

Sujith--- age 14, living in Muliyar panchayat in Bovikkanam. He has

skin disease. He cannot continuously study due to this reason.

Mahesh Babu--- Vaninagar resident, studying Vaninagar School. He

has special fingers both in hands and legs.

Balasubramanyan--- He was an epilepsy patient by birth. He died

recently of his disease. He was a resident of Bovikkanam.

Now also people in this region are suffered by different type of cancers, skin diseases, physical and mental disorders. It is totally cruel if we go with its youth in the name of lack of scientific evidence.

Suu kyi -pro democracy

At last the pro democrat leader of Myanmar set free and it was in the name of Democracy. The Myanmar Government declared that this is as part of our effort to reinstate democracy in Myanmar. But some one commended that it is their game to favor people in the name of democracy and the same was happened many times in the past. 

The separation of NLD and conflict in the name of election are also a disturbing facts. Also Suu kyi  (a political prisoners and Nobel Peace Prize winner) can't participate in election because of the junta policies and rules. 

Any way she is a flagship for democracy and inspiration for freedom fighters and pilodemocrats. 

Yes..... this was Reddy

Now it is apparent. Reddy against Yeddy. The reason is that Reddy wants to be the CM of Karnataka. The alleged discussions and conspiracy of Jenardhana Reddy, The Minister of Tourism , Krnataka and his offer of 20 crores were released as video clips recently. This is the first evidence of Reddy brothers conspiracy against Yeduriyappa as mistaken.
Even eagle cant fly above money.
And another truth - No one can hide the truth for a long time

media scam and paid news

it is a most desperate news - the paid news. The people who unveil the truths and updating people are depleting  the face value and credibility of the media. The nexus of forth estate and bureaucrats politicians networks making the situations very worst. The most terrible fact which I cant understand is that no national channels are take this issue yet.
The paid news practice and representation of corporates and politicians by media no longer sustain

Series of Scams

We are witnessing the serial of scams that is not by corporates but by the people elected representatives. The conspiracies, bribes and financial malpractices are becoming a worrying facts these days. Common wealth Games controversy, spectrum scam and Adarsh Housing issue of Asok Chavan and Yeduriyappa land scam cases etc. are questioning the democratic principles. The shelters constructed for the widows 0f died army men in Kargil war were given to relatives and public land transfered to his son by Yeduriyappa - are shameful realities. The nepotism in power sharing now extends to wealth sharing. No individual in this democracy expecting these type of crimes from any political leader. 

Most disturbing fact is that the ruling as well as opposition party are in scams and our country is in a balanced situation of misfortunes. Lastly the souverinity of people remain as a water line.The United Progressive Alliance government was in a track of progression and appreciated with smart governce and no one can object this opinion of 'aam admi' movement. But everything is in crisis only because of the misuse of people money.

An immediate purification of political mechanism is the need of this hour and the act of ridiculing the suffrage and its value should be stopped.

625 കോടിയുടെ ലോട്ടറിയടിച്ചയാള്‍ കുടിച്ചു മരിച്ചു

Posted on: 26 Oct 2010

ലണ്ടന്‍: ജീവിതം തുലഞ്ഞു തീരാന്‍ കോടികളുടെ ലോട്ടറിയടിച്ചാലും മതിയെന്നു തെളിയിച്ചു കെയ്ത്ത് ഗോ എന്ന ബ്രിട്ടീഷുകാരന്‍. പണത്തിനും പ്രശസ്തിക്കും ആഢംബരത്തിനും നടുവില്‍ വിരസമായി മാറിയ ജീവിതം അയാള്‍ കുടിച്ചുകുടിച്ച് തീര്‍ത്തു.

അഞ്ചുവര്‍ഷംമുമ്പാണ് കെയ്ത്തിന് 90 ലക്ഷം പൗണ്ടിന്റെ (625 കോടി രൂപ) ലോട്ടറിയടിച്ചത്. ഇത്രയും പണമുള്ളപ്പോള്‍പ്പിന്നെ ജോലിയെന്തിനെന്ന് ചിന്തിച്ച ഗെയ്ത്ത് ഉടന്‍ രാജിനല്‍കി. ആഢംബരകാറുകളും പന്തയക്കുതിരകളും പടുകൂറ്റന്‍ ബംഗ്ലാവുകളുമെല്ലാം വിലയ്ക്കുവാങ്ങി.
ഒന്നും ചെയ്യാനില്ലാതെ ജീവിതം വിരസമാകാന്‍ തുടങ്ങിയപ്പോള്‍ മദ്യപാനമായി സ്ഥിരംപരിപാടി. അതോടെ ഭാര്യ പിണങ്ങിപ്പോയി. സുഹൃത്തുക്കളെ അതിനുമുമ്പുതന്നെ കെയ്ത്ത് ആട്ടിയോടിച്ചിരുന്നു. ഗുണപരമായി ഒന്നും ചെയ്യാനില്ലാതെ പണം ചെലവിട്ടു ചെലവിട്ട് തനിക്ക് മടുത്തെന്നും ലോട്ടറി കിട്ടിയതാണ് ജീവിതം തകരാന്‍ കാരണമായതെന്നും കെയ്ത്ത് നേരത്തേ ഒരു അഭിമുഖത്തില്‍ പറഞ്ഞിരുന്നു. ജീവിക്കാന്‍ കൊതിയുണ്ടെങ്കില്‍ ലോട്ടറി വാങ്ങരുത് എന്നതായിരുന്നു കെയ്ത്തിന് നല്‍കാനുണ്ടായിരുന്ന ഉപദേശം.

കുടിച്ചുകുടിച്ച് 58-ാം വയസ്സില്‍ കെയ്ത്ത് വീണു മരിച്ചത് അഞ്ചു പൈസ കൈയിലില്ലാതെയാണെന്നായിരുന്നു ആദ്യവാര്‍ത്ത. എന്നാല്‍ എട്ടുലക്ഷം പൗണ്ടിന്റെ സ്വത്തുവകകള്‍ അദ്ദേഹത്തിനുണ്ടെന്ന് ഒസ്യത്തില്‍നിന്ന് വ്യക്തമായി. ഈ പണം പിണങ്ങിപ്പോയ ഭാര്യയേ്ക്കാ രണ്ടു മക്കള്‍ക്കോ കിട്ടുമോ എന്നു വ്യക്തമല്ല

Operation Kamala

Operation Kamala- another clandestine strategy of BJP now in public. This is the second time this party making their attempt of a political scam.This act is obviously a serious crime against the people those who send their representatives to the legislative assembly. The act of BJP government is totally irresponsible and a fraudulent business which questioning the right of   people as well as the  existence of constitution. 

How one can justify the offers of Yaduriyappa in Thirumala for succeeding his power and justifying the concept, "aim justifies the path". The mining maphia Janardhana Reddy and Karunakara Reddy throwing money for retaining their legislatives and this money is from their most horrid and atrocious business - illegal mining. Really - now the Yaduriyappa government not in position or fearing to face the election. This is the only reason they go for this horrible and rotten business.

Now I leave it to the people of Karnataka those who utilized their suffrage. In the back ground of these political scams and the cheating of voters really unpardonable. Even the Congress Government didn't support the action of H R Bhardwaj, Governor of Karnataka. Let the people decide at least in coming elections. 

Ayodhya Verdict - Faith or Justice

After a sudden silence,  different individuals and parties depleted it with few comments. It was welcomed by the whole Hindu community but had a mixed response from Muslim people. BJP veteran L K Advani said the Allahabad High Court verdict in the Ayodhya title suit was "faith upheld by law" and that it has paved the way for reconciliation with judicial ratification. But other commend says like - We expected the verdict in our favour. It is tilted towards one party which is not fair," its lawyer Zafaryab Jilani told IANS. "We will go for appeal. There is no second thought. We are studying the judgment."

Really it has mixed response and what you think in this scene. The maturity of Indian people to receive the verdict must appreciate. Whether faith or justice? which is most important.??????

I think, in democratic, pluralistic and diverse - obviously cradle of democracy not expecting such an opinion - 'faith upheld by law' and I commending it as crime against law and constitution. It is not acceptable to put faith above law or constitution that may lead to controversies.  Court agreed that Ram was born in Ayodhya and there was a temple in Ayodhya that was destructed by Mugal King Babar and built a Masjid in that place. So now its under the control of Muslim legally but by faith it can substantiate to Hindus.

While accepting this fact Karunanidhi commends that - We have identified the birth place of Ram and birth place of Raja Raja Cholan is still not recognized, that was just before 1000 years. But the duty bestowed up on the court was very crucial - a crucial dilemma, court wants to upheld justice and Government wants a peaceful response. With some hours of confusions and doubts, it was declared to split in to three. 

Now the question is weather it is justifiable or not? and what the outcome expected from supreme court. 

Let's wish for a right conclusion and peaceful country which upheld our religious integrity.  

Cheetah - a possible return?

Thanks to Ramesh Jairman - Minster for environment and forest, great in conservation aspects. Recently he has introduced a project to protect an extincting species - Chetah.This is a 300 crore project which envisages to call back chetah from Africa. 

Cheetah was widely hunted by brave but brutal kings which was to show their power and fame. They then used for assisting their hunt. But when time gone it was partially disappeared from forests and their habitat because of the countinious threat from cowherds and impotent inbreeding. The last three cheetas in India were killed by the king of Suguji in eastern Madhya Pradesh. It was also in the year of India's independence -1947. Now the ministry plans to introduce 18 cheetas equally as six in selected places of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. As per the initial decision it will be at Kano - Palpur (Madhya Pradesh) and Jaysalmir (Rajasthan).

We can appreciate this new effort to protect and preserve our animal bio diversity. But various experts commend it as a impractical idea. Normally cheetas need  large area as their habit and that should be free from human intervention. Also their pray should be available at its surrounding area. So this initiative is not at all viable anymore here with such facilities. In addition to this most of our wild life conservation initiatives except Project Tiger were in complete failure. 

There were various efforts all over the world to sustain this friend, especially by animal lovers. Center fro cellular and molecular biology anticipated to develop clones of Chetas to retain it few years ago.But Iran rejected to supply Chetah to countinious this initiative and that was as water line. 

While accepting the realities maintenance of Chetah is very difficult and cumbersome efforts required in this line. Its natural habitat, inbreeding, availabilty of prays, gracing land etc. are the disturbing realities. But I hope this effort should flourish like another - Save Tiger Project.

Emerging China - India's advantage

The economy of China as well as India are growing with a great pace and  catching international attraction. The recognized consultants like Boston Consultants, Price water Coopers and Moody Analysts were noted that these two countries will show a growth rate between 8 and 10 in coming years. India and China celebrated 'friendship'  year and promotes 'bhai bhai' approach recently. Both countries have healthy business as well as industrial relation by positive shifts in import -  export alliance.

In the midst of these interesting results, we also have certain alarming facts. Our (India) largest neighboring country China trying to influence other neighbors which may affect India badly. Nuclear deal with Pakistan, language study center in Nepal, China Burma military alliance etc., If the growth of Islamic extremism and terrorism in Bangladesh is a threat to Indian security, then the presence of China with which India’s interests have the potential to clash is also of security concern.China's influence in South Asia has significantly grown over the years, and in particular Bangladeshi-Chinese relations are now robust and very comprehensive. In addition to this China is well equipped to supply the energy needs especially nuclear energy to neibhouring as well as emerging economies. 

China hosted the last Olympics fabulously and  very well appreciated by world countries and that was also a positive paradigm shift for the Chinese government. India also hosted the 19th Common Wealth Games with a little glitterings in the midst of some controversies. 

Chinese countinious claim on Arunachal Pradesh is another boiling issue. In the circumstance of Chinese claims and oppositions, Prime minister visited there for election campaign and admitted Dalailama to visit Taiwang. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh declared that Arunachal Pradesh is an integral part of India and he rejected their claims in words and in maps. 

China also boosting English education to compete in the globalised world. The bureaucratic nature of Chinese economy is their greatest competitive advantage. So that no one can object the development and all the obstacles will gives way to Government decisions. But as a democratic country India cant avoid the interest of common people and that may the greatest inhibition for irregular developments. 

Chinese economy is consistent and controllable normally and inflation is not at all a problem their as in India. 

India's competitive advantage

• China control its population very strictly by various family planning strategies which resulted population control effectively. But it also leads the country and old age in the future. As per the study - young talents are the advantage of both the countries. But the mean age of India is 25.1 and China is 34.1. It shows that China will face a serious man power crisis in the future.
• English langauage expertise of China is 0.77 in 2006. But Indians proficiency is 10.66 as per the 2001 census. It is one of the strongest advanatages of India. India is a liberalised economy and democratic in nature. So the scope of skill devlopment can be expected.
• Indian economy is focused on sectors like IT and service but the Chinese on manufacturing sector. So the energy need of China is farther than India. So the energy efficiency of China is questionable. 

While calculating all the ways, we will reach a final conclusion, China is a step forward than India and India needs to run with a robust face to catch Chinese growth in the immediate future. 

What about your parents?

Do you think it is a crucial question? But I think so. Once I heard an incident which alarmed me about the plight future of the aged parents. You believe or not : an old lady was found in a bus stand in the midst of a waste deposit as tightened in a sack. It was found by the Kudumbsree members came for cleaning that area. When they were categorizing this waste, heard a  kind and pathetic voice. 

Actually I had wrote an eye opening results of a survey conducted by Help age. Unfortunately that failed to publish.Now I am trying to replicate that. But that figures are not available. India having above 40% youths and above 30% aged.... can be considered as a boon or bane. Why it is so is in the sense of boon - more man power will be available, but in bane is the shortage of employment opportunities and high investment on  health aspects. 

90% in loneliness, 35% forced to work for earning in their disabilities, 60% uncared by children, 27% separated etc......................

Why we cant care our parents? I also remember some sad moments with my grand parent. I cant remember these terrible moments that I made wrong emotions. But I fully realizing his love, affection, care, humbleness and all. Most respected by all........ Strong believer of God who guided me a lot to move ahead. Frankly speaking. Sometimes my sadness flow out and my heart will beat faster than normal. At his old age his hearing lost partially but his affection increased thrice. Some times I irritated by his countinious questions and hesitated to answer.    You know, he was some what bold and self conscious, he will not change when he decides something, eat sumptuously and shout irresistibly. There were some strong  fights between him and me. not physically but verbally. Some times it exceeds the limit of our house walls. Not by our sound but by our strong grit and uncompromising attitude. Now I am praying...........My God, I know I am very emotional in nature and uncompromising in attitude and pride with ego. But great fortune that I have realized it. 

At his last times he loved me very much and enormously. But I was out of station. Once I visited my grandpa while he was in bed and very tired. He stood up with all his efforts and embrace me hold his hand on my neck and kissed. Then put his hand on my head and blessed repeatedly. That happened many times/occasions. But I failed to accept his love. I was not in a mood to fell a  drops even his funeral function. 

I know,  now it is a deep wound in my heart and I am fearful remember my wrong doings. I am realizing that some uncompromisable attitude of my grand pa made me like that. I can explain you an incident, When I got a job in Trivandrum, I normally gone to my house twice in a month. Once I reached my house, my grand pa was not there and he was in my Uncles house. Some what intentionally I refused to meet him that day by remembering some bad incidents. Tomorrow morning I met him and expected a warm welcome and love. But he refused to meet me and remarked that why dont you come to see me yesterday?. I was really insulted and left there. I thought that he said it in a wrong intention. But later I realized that he loved me very much. But my chance were over while accepting this fact.

I have heard a stroy in my child hood and it says like as follows.

An 80 year old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year old highly educated son.Suddenly a crow perched on their window.The Father asked his Son, "What is this?" The Son replied "It is a crow". After a few minutes, the Father asked his Son the 2nd time, "What is this?" The Son said "Father, I have just now told you "It's a crow". After a little while, the old Father again asked his Son the 3rd time, "What is this?" At this time some expression of irritation was felt in the Son's tone when he said to his Father with a rebuff. "It's a crow, a crow". A little after, the Father again asked his Son t he 4th time, "What is this?" This time the Son shouted at his Father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again,although I have told you so many times 'IT IS A CROW'. Are you not able to understand this?"A little later the Father went to his room and came back with an old tattered diary, which he had maintained since his Son was born. On opening a page, he asked his Son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary: - 

"Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My Son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a Crow. I hugged him lovingly each time h e asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel irritated. I rather felt affection for my innocent child".

The elderly can be seen as burdens rather than blessings. Sometimes we are quick to forget the sacrifices are parents made for us when they are in need of care themselves. Instead of taking them into our homes—whenever that is safe and feasible—we put them in retirement communities or nursing homes, sometimes against their will. We may not value the wisdom they have acquired through living long lives, and we can discredit their advice as “outdated.”

When we honor and care for our parents, we are serving God as well. The Bible says, “The church should care for any widow who has no one else to care for her. But if she has children or grandchildren, their first responsibility is to show godliness at home and repay their parents by taking care of them. This is something that pleases God very much....But those who won't care for their own relatives, especially those living in the same household, have denied what we believe. Such people are worse than unbelievers” 

The decisions of Governemnt is welcoming and there efforts to care our old aged people. National Policy on old persons, Parent maintanace act, pensions and orphanages etc. are most welcoming. But I think it is not sufficient for parent caring. An in depth study, strong amendments and implementation mechanisnm etc should strengthen.  

Caste Census - Logic

In a secularist country, boiled on democracy and cherished by equity is now decided for caste census. It is unfortunate that it has been included as a separate category in Census 2011. Our leaders refer to a casteless  society only in speech not in practice. 

I am really wondering that how this caste system and census help the growth of our economy. I think it will divide society further as more and more groups will demand reservation in government jobs or in education institution on their caste identities. 

It may create more disturbance if some category dropped from reservation and if some unreserved entered in to this list. This nexus lead to a miserable situation to Government as well as decision making authorities. 

Creative Criticism - Common wealth Games

Frankly speaking I realized the worth of media only after the common wealth game controversies. Perhaps most of the criticism were political in nature and focused on personals. But all the creative and cremate arguments contributed well to complete this game village which was appreciated by authorities. This criticism continued till the game started. But that made to be vigilant and careful the Games committee.   Initially the condition games village was so pathetic and that gave shame to sports of India. But every thing happened well.

Now I request your interest to some needs - especially my most respected and dignified journalists and media personnels , not the paid news authorities and craca agencies. It needs your immediate and intense attention to social matters, corruption, social upliftment and rural development.   Most of our people are not aware about their rights and benefits. In addition to this they are exploiting by majors. Now its the moment to intervene in these aspects. A wide positive and  creative criticism in this aspects are the need of this hour. Be a responsible media

Manishankar - Yet another humiliation

Former senior congress leader Manisankar Iyyer left Delhi after his controversial statement against Common Wealth Games Delhi. He remarked that he will be very sad if the game become a success. What he mentioned that - We are not expected to spend such a huge amount of money for Common Wealth Games and this amount should spend fro the poor village people and for the sports infrastructure development. This may be a creative but desperate suggestion. In the middle of this humiliation he escaped from India to Iyerland and proclaimed that I am not in a mood to attend this game.

What I found in this remark is that we are spending huge amount of money for development aspects that are also deal with rural, employment, health etc. and it is also in a progress stage. In addition to this we are optimistic that we can achieve a major slice of pie of Millennium Development Goal (MDG) before 2015. Along with  this we should spend sufficient amount of money in sports development in India, identify and train qualified sportsmen, equal importance for all items, avoid over importance of cricket etc. should be our major objective. We are countiniously  out of major games and that may be because of  lack of competency and training.Another stark fact is that the Olympic medal for medicine was grabbed only by the personal efforts and investments of athletes. 

Obviously it the time to give more focus on sports and regain Hockey world cup, play Foot ball world cup and gain sufficient medals in Olympics. The positive shift of developing sports infrastructure like sports injury center, training center, rejuvenation center etc are paving way to build the sports potential of India. 

ANOTHER CONCERN - KASHMIR

It is the need of our to think seriously on Kashmir - paradise of tourists. Once it was the state independent for seculars - those didn't like to move towards Pakistan and India. Later it was demanded by three countries simultaneousnesly, Pakistan, India and China. We are calling a part of Kashmir as Pak occupied Kasmir (PoK) and China remarked that 'India controlled Kasmir'. But the fact it is still under the ownership of India.
Now the question is why these huge riolts and violence going on in Kashmir. ?

Omar and Farookh Abdullas striven their best to made the situation under control and utterly failed. Chidambaram, Pranab and Manmohan were put their efforts and it was again in vein. At last a all party meeting that reached to a short term relief to violence. As per the constitution - Military has special power in Kasmir and it is not accepted by some evil powers. I think that 8 point formula clicked well.

Obviously I meant this terrorists especially Gilani. The foreign fraud Gilani- Pak and internal horror maker Gilani Kasmir are the real players and pivotal of Kashmir issue.A strong military movement id further impossible and a peace initiative is most welcoming.
The Gilani like people who strongly influenced the people of Kashmir lead them to a bad and worst impact. They again need to be the part of Pakistan.
The 81 year old Geelani is seen as an icon of the 'freedom struggle'by most yong people in Kashmir. Notwithstanding his hard - line pro - Pakistan views and uncompromising stand on the Kashmir issue, he consolidated the pro - freedom sentiment that was revived after killing of teenage. In addition to this Asiya Andrabi, a supporter of Islamic state and Massarat Alam.
Lets hope this successful package stick these people with India.
                     
 

Yet another pride for Malayalam

Recently our epic  poet and professor O N V (Ottaplavil Neelakandan Velu Kurup)  honored by Jnapith for his extraordinary contributions to the field of Malayalam literature. This ever high honor for literature by Govt of India reaching to Kerala fifth times. ONV, as he is popularly known, has been selected for the award for 2007. He is the second poet after G. Sankara Kurup to get this award for poetry.

The other three Jnanpith award winners from Kerala are S.K. Pottekad (1980), Thakazhi Siva Sankara Pillai (1984) and M.T. Vasudevan Nair (1995).

The poet ONV has a great influence from my child hood onwards. As a environmental activist and conservative, I was really worried about the environmental concerns and this concern was ignited by the poem 'Bhoomikkoru charamageetham' that was written by our dearest poet ONV. Now I look back and realize what is the sharpness of letters - if it is from the heart of realistics. 

As a poet he has great affection towards his mother land as well as mother tongue. He fights well against the distraction and violent habits of human being. In addition to this he loved our mother tongue Malayalam and once remarked - this continuous neglecting of Malayalam by modern generation will not lead to a sustainable growth.

Maoist - a Threat

Some times I think Maoism is the biggest threat to our democracy and country. The parallel and rebel mechanism not only deplete the well organized structure of democracy but badly influence people. I mentioned this in post earlier.  But now we should think it deeply and avoid all hesitation to destruct this evil force. 
Maoist in literal terms means the followers of Mao Je Dang, the most popular face of Chinese communist movement that overthrew the monarchy in China few decades ago. Maoists in India have a similar intention to defy the democratically elected government and establish an autocratic state based on communist ideologies. Originally started a popular peasant movement in the state of West Bengal during 1970’s, it gradually turned into a violent struggle and spread to almost a third of country’s geographical area mainly covering less developed, tribal dominant, inaccessible hilly and forested areas of West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha and Maharashtra.

Maoist movement is often argued as a reactionary rebellion of capitalist exploitation and government apathy. After independence, India’s growth has not been able to alleviate the regional disparities but eventually worsened it. The capitalist oriented industrial economy couple with the inaccessibility of the hostile topography and lack of political will has left the central part of India far behind its other parts. However many mining industries have tried to make use of its huge reserves of mineral resources. These mining activities have mostly encroached upon the social systems of the original inhabitants. Their lands have been forcefully taken over in exchange of some inadequate compensation. The lifeline of their economic and religious activity, the hilly forested areas, has been torn apart. In addition, various social and economic program of the government fail to reach them due to high level of redtapism, corruption and inefficiency. As a result, the deprived people turn to using force against the state citing the reason of years of injustice and inefficient grievance redress system. With the availability of arms and plenty of landmines mainly used for mining activities in the area, this struggle takes the form of a violent armed revolt. There is little doubt that the Maoist movement is one such mass struggle. But some also argue it to be a foreign aided internal conflict to destabilize the country. Whatever may be the cause of this movement, it is definitely fuelled by the industrial repression and government inaction. Over the time, Maoists have somehow distracted from their ideology and instead of fighting for the poor in a democratic manner, they are on a killing spree eliminating anybody who they suspect to be against them.

Maoists have their base camps deep inside dense forests. They collect arms by attacking local police arsenals and possibly through some foreign consignments. By blackmailing and threatening the local wealthy property owners and industrialists, they gather their finance. It is also reported that Maoists have taken off the food grains provided to schools, situated in their controlled areas, under Midday Meal program. They often attack in groups, most of the time outnumbering the personnel on the target, and leave posters with their messages. Their prime target has been various communication networks like mobile towers and state establishments like railway stations, railway tracks and police stations. They declare the area of their influence as the so called “Liberated Zone”. They establish an autocratic style of rule for the same. They justify the violent public killing of innocent civilians by charges of police sympathy or exploitation of local people. The railway track damages often lead to derailment like accidents killing many innocent lives. The Maoist menace is now treated as single biggest internal threat to the security and integrity of India.

Government response to the Maoist movement has been that of double standard. On one hand it declares to take on the armed revolt with force but on the other it backtracks due to the protests by human right activists. Booker Prize winning writer Arundhanti Roy has termed the forceful government suppression as a war raged against its own citizens. The result has been a delay in military deployment. An operation named “Operation Greenhunt” has been executed by the paramilitary forces like CRPF and CoBRA. However this has met with marginal success and there has been many life losses of the security personnel. The Dantewada Massacre of 72 policemen by around a thousand Maoists in April this year is the worse ever setback faced. Security forces and sometimes civilians are routinely getting killed by landmine blasts and collective attack by an overwhelmingly large number of armed cadres. Reports of beheading of a government employee also speak about the barbarism and fearlessness of Maoists. In states like Chhattisgarh, government sponsored militant outfits like Salwa Judum are fighting the Maoists in their very own way. But this has been severely criticized for its human right abuses and worsening state’s credibility as a guardian of law and order. Andhra Pradesh has built a specialized commando force named “Grey Hound” and has met with some success in tackling the growing insurgency. Overall, the acute scarcity of policemen in comparison to the Maoists, difficult terrain, lack of jungle warfare expertise and sometimes hostile local population has limited the success rate heavily.

Some scholars advocate to look at the crisis from an ideological angle. Maoists follow communism and its reflected in their organizing structure. All the cadres are treated as equals and only the decision making lies with the cadre up the hierarchy. The head even shares the same cigar with the fellow cadres. But our mainstream society is far from being egalitarian with the caste ghosts and power hierarchy still looming large. A significant social transformation is required to solve it ideologically. Maoist sympathizers have rightly awakened the government to its inefficient regional policies and failure to integrate the poor tribal populace with the mainstream. However the brutal and animistic killing of innocent lives by Maoists in retaliation can never be justified. Government needs to step up its police actions and if needed to take the military assistance to make the Maoists abjure violence. At the same time it needs to guard against any human rights violation and provide adequate social and economic incentives to all sections across the length and breadth of the country.
I strongly suggest that this Operation Green hunt and Kobra should be more practical and creative. Nothing happen like in Srilanka. But it is possible by taking the people in our hands not by force, threats and money but by effective welfare packages.
