He passed away from cardiac arrest while enjoying one of his favorite pastimes: walking in the park with my mother.&lt;br /&gt;He was born in New Delhi on July 19th, 1938. He lived in several countries while serving with the United Nations Peacekeeping Missions and later settled in Seattle, Washington to be close to his children. &lt;br /&gt;In a life characterized by quiet activism, his passing occurred hardly a few hours after his last blog post, visible below. We will always remember him for his love of life, his passion for helping everyone around him, and the irreplaceable impact he made on each of our lives. The last rites were performed on March 1, 2011. &lt;br /&gt;Sher Singh is survived by his wife, four children, and eight grandchildren. We all love him dearly and cannot begin to express our heartache. Although we will forever miss his uplifting presence, we know he is in a better place now. Please join us in prayer for his soul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HARE KRISHNA, HARE KRISHNA, KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE&lt;br /&gt;HARE RAM, HARE RAM, RAM RAM HARE HARE&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13801763-7239391616349373628?l=agrasen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/feeds/7239391616349373628/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13801763&amp;postID=7239391616349373628' title='20 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/7239391616349373628'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/7239391616349373628'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/2011/03/my-father-sher-singh-agrawal-left-us-on.html' title=''/><author><name>SHER SINGH AGRAWAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14955014952419938340</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-b2ZAIhFVFdU/TW8n7Qu33-I/AAAAAAAAB6Q/_oakTRRR5ds/s72-c/Papa.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>20</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13801763.post-6181446486230275998</id><published>2011-02-28T10:31:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-28T10:33:06.059-08:00</updated><title type='text'>mother 's love more than God's</title><content type='html'>SHER AGRAWAL &lt;agrasen@gmail.com&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;GOD"S WINGS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Krishnaswamy Narasimhan &lt;krish45@gmail.com&gt;  Sun, Feb 27, 2011 at 10:20 AM  &lt;br /&gt;To: Krishnaswamy Narasimhan &lt;krish45@gmail.com&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Bcc: agrasen@gmail.com  &lt;br /&gt;God's Wings -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park , forest rangers&lt;br /&gt;began their trek up a mountain to assess the inferno's damage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One ranger found a bird literally petrified in ashes, perched statuesquely on the ground at the base of a tree. Somewhat sickened by the eerie sight, he knocked over the bird with a stick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When he gently struck it, three tiny chicks scurried from under their dead mother's wings. The loving mother, keenly aware of impending disaster, had carried her offspring to the base of the tree and had gathered them under her wings, instinctively knowing that the toxic smoke would rise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She could have flown to safety but had refused to abandon her babies. Then the blaze had arrived and the heat had scorched her small body, the mother had remained steadfast.... because she had been willing to die, so those under the cover of her wings would live.&lt;br /&gt;That is MOTHER'S LOVE, which is universal, whether man or animal or birds.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13801763-6181446486230275998?l=agrasen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/feeds/6181446486230275998/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13801763&amp;postID=6181446486230275998' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/6181446486230275998'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/6181446486230275998'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/2011/02/mother-s-love-more-than-gods.html' title='mother &apos;s love more than God&apos;s'/><author><name>SHER SINGH AGRAWAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14955014952419938340</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13801763.post-7502225567029937410</id><published>2011-02-28T09:43:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-28T09:43:45.990-08:00</updated><title type='text'>ANOTHER TRAITOR NEWSPAPER - INDIAN EXPRESS</title><content type='html'>SHER AGRAWAL &lt;agrasen@gmail.com&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;SADNESS BECAUSE OF YOU and YOUR NEWSPAPER.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;mohan sethi &lt;mohansethi@hotmail.com&gt;  Mon, Feb 28, 2011 at 6:29 AM  &lt;br /&gt;To: "INDIAN EXPRESS SH.SHEKHAR GUPTA" &lt;sg@expressindia.com&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Dear Mr. Shekhar Gupta:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, I have been let down very badly by you and your newspaper – The Indian Express.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I did not lose any bet.   I lost all my convictions.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friend had seen today’s Times of  India before reaching the park,  and cried literally  for not seeing any worthwhile mention of the BABA Ramdev Rally, held YESTERDAY (27FEB) in the Ramlila Grounds, attracting thousands of his followers to listen to his CALL.  He insisted that the Indian Express was no different and that this new Crusader against Corruption would not be covered even by the Indian Express. Thanks to the AASTHA CHANNEL, we  had seen it  LIVE FROM 2PM TO 6PM,  even though there was the most wanted Cricket Match, India vs. England, demanting attention on all other TV Channels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was shocked that The Times of India had done so.   But I insisted that my newspaper, my Indian Express, would carry the whole story in full and in color.  Lo and Behold, I FELT CHATED. MY eyes could not believe it.  There was not a single word on it. I was totally wrong.  SO, Now, you are no different from any other - he so-called Journalism of Courage. HA !!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since 1960  I have been reading my Indian Express.  It was Mr. Prem Chand Arya  who introduced your newspaper to me.  He had shifted next to my house in Malviya Nagar, New Delhi.   If you could recall he retired as the Director General News Services, All India Radio, and always insisted that the only newspaper we could trust was this one which stood the test of time.  Mr.  Arya also had functioned as Dy. Chief Censors during the sad era of Emergency declared by Mrs. Gandhi, and   although he must have censored more pages of your stories, than the others Nespapers, day in and day out,   yet he told his family/friends how bad he felt when he had to do this to the Indian Express which was “different” from others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry, I think we are passing thru the cruelest period of our lives.   All the pillars of our constitution are in shambles !!!  ….and late Shri Goenka’s soul must be cursing you all. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YOU ARE ALL  CRAWLING WITHOUT EVEN HAVING BEEN ASKED TO BEND, DESPITE THERE BEING NO EMERGENCY, NO CENSORS. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHAT A SHAME !!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MOHAN SETHI&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13801763-7502225567029937410?l=agrasen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/feeds/7502225567029937410/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13801763&amp;postID=7502225567029937410' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/7502225567029937410'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/7502225567029937410'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/2011/02/another-traitor-newspaper-indian.html' title='ANOTHER TRAITOR NEWSPAPER - INDIAN EXPRESS'/><author><name>SHER SINGH AGRAWAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14955014952419938340</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13801763.post-8994077338050989190</id><published>2011-02-27T18:04:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-27T18:04:55.265-08:00</updated><title type='text'>A girl with an apple</title><content type='html'>Gmail  SHER AGRAWAL &lt;agrasen@gmail.com&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Girl With An Apple&lt;br /&gt;Krishnaswamy Narasimhan &lt;krish45@gmail.com&gt;  Sun, Feb 27, 2011 at 11:05 AM&lt;br /&gt;To: Krishnaswamy Narasimhan &lt;krish45@gmail.com&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bcc: agrasen@gmail.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHAT A WONDERFUL STORY.

Please take the time to read it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        A Girl With An Apple &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        (This is a true story and you can find out more by Googling Herman Rosenblat. He was Bar Mitzvahed at age 75)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        August 1942. Piotrkow, Poland.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        The sky was gloomy that morning as we waited anxiously. &lt;br /&gt;        All the men, women and children of Piotrkow's Jewish ghetto had been herded into a square.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        Word had gotten around that we were being moved. My father had only recently died from typhus, which had run rampant through the crowded ghetto. My greatest fear was that our family would be separated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        'Whatever you do,' Isidore, my eldest brother, whispered to me, 'don't tell them your age. Say you're sixteen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        'I was tall for a boy of 11, so I could pull it off. That way I might be deemed valuable as a worker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        An SS man approached me, boots clicking against the cobblestones. &lt;br /&gt;        He looked me up and down, and then asked my age.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        'Sixteen,' I said. He directed me to the left, where my three brothers and other healthy young men already stood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        My mother was motioned to the right with the other women, children, sick and elderly people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        I whispered to Isidore, 'Why?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        He didn't answer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        I ran to Mama's side and said I wanted to stay with her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        'No, 'she said sternly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        'Get away. Don't be a nuisance. Go with your brothers.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        She had never spoken so harshly before. But I understood: She was protecting me. She loved me so much that, just this once, she pretended not to. It was the last I ever saw of her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        My brothers and I were transported in a cattle car to Germany.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        We arrived at the Buchenwald concentration camp one night later and were led into a crowded barrack. The next day, we were issued uniforms and identification numbers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        'Don't call me Herman anymore.' I said to my brothers. 'Call me 94983.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        I was put to work in the camp's crematorium, loading the dead into a hand-cranked elevator.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        I, too, felt dead. Hardened, I had become a number.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        Soon, my brothers and I were sent to Schlieben, one of Buchenwald's sub-camps near Berlin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        One morning I thought I heard my mother's voice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        'Son,' she said softly but clearly, I am going to send you an angel.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        Then I woke up. Just a dream. A beautiful dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        But in this place there could be no angels. There was only work. &lt;br /&gt;        And hunger. And fear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        A couple of days later, I was walking around the camp, around the barracks, near the barbed-wire fence where the guards could not easily see I was alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        On the other side of the fence, I spotted someone: a little girl with light, almost luminous curls. She was half-hidden behind a birch tree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        I glanced around to make sure no one saw me. I called to her softly in German. 'Do you have something to eat?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        She didn't understand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        I inched closer to the fence and repeated the question in Polish. &lt;br /&gt;        She stepped forward. I was thin and gaunt, with rags wrapped around my feet, but the girl looked unafraid. In her eyes, I saw life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        She pulled an apple from her woolen jacket and threw it over the fence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        I grabbed the fruit and, as I started to run away, I heard her say faintly, 'I'll see you tomorrow.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        I returned to the same spot by the fence at the same time every day. &lt;br /&gt;        She was always there with something for me to eat - a hunk of bread or, better yet, an apple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        We didn't dare speak or linger. To be caught would mean death for us both.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        I didn't know anything about her, just a kind farm girl, except that she understood Polish. What was her name? &lt;br /&gt;        Why was she risking her life for me?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        Hope was in such short supply, and this girl on the other side of the fence gave me some, as nourishing in its way as the bread and apples.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        Nearly seven months later, my brothers and I were crammed into a coal car and shipped to Theresienstadt camp in Czechoslovakia .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        'Don't return,' I told the girl that day. 'We're leaving.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        I turned toward the barracks and didn't look back, didn't even say good-bye to the little girl whose name I'd never learned, the girl with the apples.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        We were in Theresienstadt for three months. The war was winding down and Allied forces were closing in, yet my fate seemed sealed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        On May 10, 1945, I was scheduled to die in the gas chamber at 10:00 AM.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        In the quiet of dawn, I tried to prepare myself. So many times death seemed ready to claim me, but somehow I'd survived. Now, it was over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        I thought of my parents. At least, I thought, we will be reunited.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        But at 8 A .M. there was a commotion. I heard shouts, and saw people running every which way through camp. I caught up with my brothers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        Russian troops had liberated the camp! The gates swung open. &lt;br /&gt;        Everyone was running, so I did too. Amazingly, all of my brothers had survived;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        I'm not sure how. But I knew that the girl with the apples had been the key to my survival.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        In a place where evil seemed triumphant, one person's goodness had saved my life, had given me hope in a place where there was none.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        My mother had promised to send me an angel, and the angel had come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        Eventually I made my way to England where I was sponsored by a Jewish charity, put up in a hostel with other boys who had survived the Holocaust and trained in electronics. Then I came to America, where my brother Sam had already moved. I served in the U. S. Army during the Korean War, and returned to New York City after two years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        By August 1957 I'd opened my own electronics repair shop. &lt;br /&gt;        I was starting to settle in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        One day, my friend Sid who I knew from England called me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        'I've got a date. She's got a Polish friend. Let's double date.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        A blind date? Nah, that wasn't for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        But Sid kept pestering me, and a few days later we headed up to the Bronx to pick up his date and her friend Roma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        I had to admit, for a blind date this wasn't so bad. Roma was a nurse at a Bronx hospital. She was kind and smart. Beautiful, too, with swirling brown curls and green, almond-shaped eyes that sparkled with life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        The four of us drove out to Coney Island. Roma was easy to talk to, easy to be with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        Turned out she was wary of blind dates too!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        We were both just doing our friends a favour. We took a stroll on the boardwalk, enjoying the salty Atlantic breeze, and then had dinner by the shore. I couldn't remember having a better time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        We piled back into Sid's car, Roma and I sharing the backseat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        As European Jews who had survived the war, we were aware that much had been left unsaid between us. She broached the subject, 'Where were you,' she asked softly, 'during the war?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        'The camps,' I said. The terrible memories still vivid, the irreparable loss. &lt;br /&gt;        I had tried to forget. But you can never forget.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        She nodded. 'My family was hiding on a farm in Germany, not far from Berlin,' she told me. 'My father knew a priest, and he got us Aryan papers.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        I imagined how she must have suffered too, fear, a constant companion. &lt;br /&gt;        And yet here we were both survivors, in a new world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        'There was a camp next to the farm.' Roma continued. 'I saw a boy there and I would throw him apples every day.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        What an amazing coincidence that she had helped some other boy. &lt;br /&gt;        'What did he look like? I asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        'He was tall, skinny, and hungry. I must have seen him every day for six months.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        My heart was racing. I couldn't believe it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        This couldn't be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        'Did he tell you one day not to come back because he was leaving Schlieben?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        Roma looked at me in amazement. 'Yes!'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        'That was me!'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        I was ready to burst with joy and awe, flooded with emotions. &lt;br /&gt;        I couldn't believe it! My angel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        'I'm not letting you go.' I said to Roma. And in the back of the car on that blind date, I proposed to her. I didn't want to wait.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        'You're crazy!' she said. But she invited me to meet her parents for Shabbat dinner the following week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        There was so much I looked forward to learning about Roma, but the most important things I always knew: her steadfastness, her goodness. For many months, in the worst of circumstances, she had come to the fence and given me hope. Now that I'd found her again, I could never let her go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        That day, she said yes. And I kept my word. After nearly 50 years of marriage, two children and three grandchildren, I have never let her go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        Herman Rosenblat of Miami Beach , Florida&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        This story is being made into a movie called The Fence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        This e-mail is intended to reach 40 million people world-wide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        Join us and be a link in the memorial chain and help us distribute it around the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        Please don't just delete it.&lt;br /&gt;        It will only take you a minute to pass this along.

Telecom licences for the 2G spectrum were issued in 2008 at 2001 prices, resulting in a massive loss of Rs 1,76,000 crore to the nation. This estimated loss is almost equal to defense budget of the country," he said.&lt;br /&gt;"When I called Kapil Sibal and Montek Singh Ahluwalia for public debate on the issue, they did not dare to come," he said, and lamented the cynical attitude of the public and the media at a time when new scams are battering the economy every other day.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Coming down severely on the focus on Rahul Gandhi as the future prime minister, he said the '2G,' - Sonia G and Manmohan G - were more than enough for the people to tolerate, and they would not want another G - Rahul G - adding to the list.&lt;br /&gt;"Manmohan Singh was not 'elected' but 'appointed' Prime Minister and he took action on the 2G scam only after I filed a criminal case against Raja," he said. He said that the country is ready for another election but not for another PM from the UPA.&lt;br /&gt;"Raja, who used to ride a bicycle in Chennai earlier, now possess an asset worth six thousand crores. How could he gather such a big amount?" he questioned. He also accused Sonia Gandhi of pocketing Rs 30,000 crore in the 2G scam, and said that the reason she does not want to file a defamation case against him is that she fears being taken to the witness box.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Taking a jibe at Karunanidhi, he narrated an anecdote wherein the Tamil Nadu leader had questioned him whether Lord Rama was an engineer as his name was attached with a bridge (Rama Sethu), which was an insult to the god. But when he fell sick soon after he was admitted to Ramachandra hospital, and Swamy retorted that maybe Rama was an MBBS.&lt;br /&gt;Speaking on the issue of black money, he said that he had suggested the earlier government to investigate the source of Rahul Gandhi's college fees when he was studying in the US, but no action was taken.&lt;br /&gt;A Raghavendra Rao, chairman Srinivas Group of Institutions presided over the programme. Bhaskar Devasya, president, Citizen Councils, M K Suvrath Kumar, convener, Rajkamal Das, secretary were also present in dais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.daijiworld.com/news/news_disp.asp?n_id=96121&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;__._,_.___&lt;br /&gt;Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post | Start a New Topic &lt;br /&gt;Messages in this topic (2) &lt;br /&gt;Recent Activity: &lt;br /&gt;Visit Your Group &lt;br /&gt;MARKETPLACE&lt;br /&gt;Stay on top of your group activity without leaving the page you're on - Get the Yahoo!

Sounds like "Howlers" in school exams. But, how come, this ticketing agent has quoted names which are real and not fictitious. I just can not believe it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amusing but looks like a clever concoction. &lt;br /&gt;*Mind of Politicians are Global Phenomena* &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;A DC airport ticket agent offers some examples of 'why' their country is in trouble:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.  I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman (Carol Shea-Porter) &lt;br /&gt;ask for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window. (On an airplane!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.  I got a call from a Kansas Congressman's (Moore) staffer (Howard Bauleke), who wanted to go to Capetown. I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport information, and then he interrupted me with, ''I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Capetown is in  Massachusetts ..''&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Without trying to make him look stupid, I calmly explained, ''Cape Cod is in Massachusetts , Capetown is in Africa ''&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His response -- click.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.  A senior Vermont Congressman (Bernie Sanders) called, furious about a  Florida package we did. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando . He said he was expecting an ocean-view room. I tried to explain that's not possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He replied, 'don't lie to me, I looked on the map and Florida is a very thin state!'' (OMG)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.  I got a call from a lawmaker's wife (Landra Reid) who asked, ''Is it possible to see England from Canada ?''&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I said, ''No.''&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She said, ''But they look so close on the map.'' (OMG, again!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.  An aide for a cabinet member(Janet Napolitano) once called and asked if he could rent a car in  Dallas . I pulled up the reservation and noticed he had only a 1-hour layover in Dallas . When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car, he said, ''I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car to drive between gates to save time.'' (Aghhhh)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.  An Illinois Congresswoman (Jan Schakowsky)  called last week She needed to know how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:30 a.m., and got to Chicago at 8:33 a.m.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I explained that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois , but she couldn't understand the concept of time zones. Finally, I told her the plane went fast, and she bought that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7.  A  New York lawmaker, (Jerrold Nadler) called and asked, ''Do airlines put your physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to whom?'' I said, 'No, why do you ask?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He replied, ''Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag on my luggage that said (FAT), and I'm overweight. I think that's very rude!''&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After putting him on hold for a minute, while I looked into it. (I was dying laughing). I came back and explained the city code for Fresno , Ca. Is (FAT - Fresno Air Terminal), and the airline was just putting a destination tag on his luggage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8.  A Senator John Kerry aide (Lindsay Ross) called to inquire about a trip package to  Hawaii . After going over all the cost info, she asked, ''Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then take the train to Hawaii ?''&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9.  I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman, Bobby Bright (D) from Ala who asked, ''How do I know which plane to get on?''&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, ''I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these planes have numbers on them.''&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10.  Senator Dianne Feinstein (D)&lt;br /&gt;Called and said, ''I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola , Florida . Do I have to get on one of those little computer planes?''&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked if she meant fly to  Pensacola , FL on a commuter plane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She said, ''Yeah, whatever, smarty!''&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. Mary Landrieu (D) La. Senator called and had a question about the documents she needed in order to fly to  China .  After a lengthy discussion about passports, I reminded her that she needed a visa. 'Oh, no I don't. I've been to China many times and never had to have one of those''&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I double checked and sure enough, her stay required a visa. When I told her this she said, ''Look, I've been to China four times and every time they have accepted my American Express!''&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. A New Jersey Congressman (John Adler) called to make reservations, ''I want to go from Chicago to Rhino, New York .''&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was at a loss for words. Finally, I said, ''Are you sure that's the name of the town?''&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Yes, what flights do you have?'' replied the man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After some searching, I came back with, ''I'm sorry, sir, I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a rhino anywhere."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;''The man retorted, ''Oh, don't be silly!

Chips, bars of chocolate, Reese’s cups, kit-kats, soda, family-sized bags of Twizzlers being handed to an 8yr old.  (I braced myself for the kid’s sugar-high fidgets against the back of my seat for the next hour!!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m headed to Miami to teach spin classes at Soul Cycle’s seasonal South Beach studio.  South Beach. I’ve been pining for the warm weather everyday of January in NYC and envisioning a bathing suit every time I snacked.  Focus is a real challenge in daily life.  And even though supermarkets and eat-out spots are advertising “healthy alternatives” everywhere we look- it’s actually more difficult than ever to nourish our bodies effectively.  Many low-fat/low-carb/fat-free eat-out options lack nutrients, protein, taste, and often leave our bodies unsatisfied. Anyone who’s tried to live off of “diet-food” can attest: you’re set up for failure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which brings me back to eating right on-the-go.  Take this flight for instance.The healthiest thing American Airlines has to offer me is trail mix, with added salt and sweetener. mmmm. (help me!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here’s 4 great ways to avoid unnecessary calories:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Plan ahead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I sit on this flight, my tummy rumbles. Turns out I did forget something: my fr*&amp;%in’ lunch!  Since airport food is $$$ and um, just plain gross, it’s imperative to pack snacks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Snacks I usually go for:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- baby carrots and hummus (zucchini hummus for a lower carb option)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-  1/2 cup raw almonds (not eaten all at once- they are filling and calorically dense)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- apple or orange&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- grilled chicken and kale and a touch of dressing (Kale won’t get limp when kept in tupperware like salad greens)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Turkey or Chicken cold cuts rolled up in a romaine leaf on the outside (makes for easier/cleaner eating) with a touch of mustard&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- blanched broccoli with sea salt and pepper&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- yogurt&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.  Ask “Why do I want to eat?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whether sitting in a meeting or taxiing on the tarmac, always ask yourself if you are truly in need of nourishment before breaking out snacks.  Stress and boredom are common impulses for snacking but they are surefire waistline ruiners.  If you have a workout coming up or if you know your schedule won’t allow you to eat for a while, then by all means- EAT SMART!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Trick the treat:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cravings are legit. I am certainly one to reach for the sweets depending on mood, hormones, or energy levels.  Here are some good substitutions:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Craving chocolate?  try coffee or a sugar-free hot cocoa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Craving chips?  try my raw kale recipe or edamame sea salt. OR pop some popcorn! you’ll still be saving loads of calories… and fat!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Craving salt?  try adding a squirt of lemon or lime to your lunch (citrus satisfies the salty tastebuds)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Craving baked goods?  try a nap! (your body craves carbs when it’s run-down)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Craving sweet? Try a navel orange, or greek yogurt with berries&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Pack the right portions&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep small baggies and tupperware readily available in your kitchen.  Some of the easiest snacks and lunches are the leftovers from last night’s (healthy) dinner!  After preparing your dinner, set aside a lunch portion for the next day. This will prevent over-eating at night and keep you running the next day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Original Source: (Kym Perfetto- Schedule To Sweat) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other Articles Today of Interest: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cell Phone Use Affect Brain (MedicMagic) &lt;br /&gt;2011 Fitness Trends: What's In, What's Out (US News) &lt;br /&gt;How Pomegranate Juice Affects Cancer Spread (Dr. Weil) &lt;br /&gt;Risk of Stroke and Heart Attack Increases in the Morning (MedicMagic)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cordially,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scott Neptune&lt;br /&gt;Publisher&lt;br /&gt;YOLO Health Revolution&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;YOLO Health Revolution, a free five-times-weekly e-mail service brought to &lt;br /&gt;you by YOLO Publishing:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Trading Report&lt;br /&gt;The Stock Enthusiast&lt;br /&gt;The Phoenix Letter&lt;br /&gt;Phoenix Options&lt;br /&gt;The Chart Whisperer&lt;br /&gt;Trifecta Trading&lt;br /&gt;Average Joe Options&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go to our website to learn more or subscribe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PLEASE FORWARD YOLO HEALTH REVOLUTION TO YOUR FRIENDS.For customer service issues, you can email us at customerservice@yolohealthrevolution.com &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To end your YOLOHealthRevolution email subscription, click here&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To cancel by mail or for any other subscription issues, write us at:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YOLO Publishing&lt;br /&gt;118 E. 28th Street&lt;br /&gt;Suite 207 &lt;br /&gt;NY, NY 10016&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13801763-7654033568782788040?l=agrasen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/feeds/7654033568782788040/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13801763&amp;postID=7654033568782788040' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/7654033568782788040'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/7654033568782788040'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/2011/02/four-tips-for-snacking.html' title='FOUR TIPS FOR SNACKING'/><author><name>SHER SINGH AGRAWAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14955014952419938340</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13801763.post-1701588216057251824</id><published>2011-02-24T09:57:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-24T09:58:02.204-08:00</updated><title type='text'>important information</title><content type='html'>SHER AGRAWAL &lt;agrasen@gmail.com&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Fwd: FW: VERY USEFUL INFO.

Some were detained at police stations, while&lt;br /&gt;others were put under house arrest or forcibly taken out of their&lt;br /&gt;homes by police.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Among them were Beijing-based rights lawyers Teng Biao , Jiang&lt;br /&gt;Tianyong and Xu Zhiyong .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Teng's wife said state security police summoned him on Saturday&lt;br /&gt;afternoon and later returned to confiscate his computer and various&lt;br /&gt;documents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They were among a handful of lawyers detained late last week when they&lt;br /&gt;held a gathering to discuss how to help Chen Guangcheng , a blind&lt;br /&gt;activist whose family has been put under house arrest for five months&lt;br /&gt;since his release from prison.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Beijing, hundreds gathered outside a McDonald's restaurant on the&lt;br /&gt;busy Wangfujing pedestrian shopping street at around 2pm yesterday&lt;br /&gt;despite a heavy police presence, said witnesses and Xinhua.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Police dispersed the crowd within an hour, although a few bystanders&lt;br /&gt;remained. Xinhua issued an English-language dispatch, saying police&lt;br /&gt;took away two men. At one point, someone scattered several white&lt;br /&gt;flowers on the ground outside the restaurant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One man picked up a flower and as he was about to use his mobile&lt;br /&gt;phone, he was taken away by police. He scuffled briefly with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Why are you arresting me?" he protested loudly in front of reporters.&lt;br /&gt;"I'm just here to do shopping."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some at the scene said they were curious about the mysterious online&lt;br /&gt;call for a rally, while others appeared to be just inquisitive&lt;br /&gt;passers-by.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I see hope today as there are so many young people here," said a&lt;br /&gt;37-year-old teacher who declined to give his name. But he said he did&lt;br /&gt;not think the Middle East pro-democracy movement would spread to&lt;br /&gt;China.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beijing resident Xu Chongyang, 54, who stood outside McDonald's for&lt;br /&gt;three hours, said he was surprised by the number of people who showed&lt;br /&gt;up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He believed it was a wake-up call for the government, saying it should&lt;br /&gt;address the country's rising social tensions. A staff member at&lt;br /&gt;Dongcheng district police station refused to respond to a reporter's&lt;br /&gt;question yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Shanghai, more than 100 people turned up at the Peace Cinema, near&lt;br /&gt;the People's Square and at least three people were taken away by&lt;br /&gt;police, said a local resident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One man started delivering a speech but left when police came, Xinhua&lt;br /&gt;said in an English-language dispatch. Police dispersed the crowd&lt;br /&gt;within an hour, it said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dozens of activists and reporters followed officers and two people&lt;br /&gt;they detained back to a police station and stood outside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two protested outside the police station and one was taken away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I am here to demand that they end the one-party rule as soon as&lt;br /&gt;possible ... so they won't be able to carry out arbitrary arrests any&lt;br /&gt;more," one man told reporters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Officials at the Huangpu district's public security bureau could not&lt;br /&gt;be reached for comment yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Guangzhou, few people turned up at the People's Park, where a rally&lt;br /&gt;initiated online was supposed to take place, but there were at least&lt;br /&gt;500 uniformed police officers and 30 police vehicles at the scene,&lt;br /&gt;guarding the park's gates and Metro station exits. A student told TVB&lt;br /&gt;news he was disappointed by the lack of support.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There are myriad social problems. We should let the leadership know,"&lt;br /&gt;he said, with his back facing the camera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, Guangzhou-based lawyer Liu Shihui was attacked yesterday by thugs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He told reporters they put a rice bag over him and beat and kicked him&lt;br /&gt;on the floor. Guangzhou police refused to comment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Hong Kong, a group of about 20 activists from the League of Social&lt;br /&gt;Democrats staged a rally outside the Beijing authorities'&lt;br /&gt;representative office to show support for the "Jasmine Revolution".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Led by party chairman Andrew To Kwan-hang as well as party legislator&lt;br /&gt;"Long Hair" Leung Kwok-hung, the protesters shouted slogans "Long live&lt;br /&gt;democracy" and "Long live the people's revolution" as they tossed&lt;br /&gt;paper drawings of jasmine flowers into the Beijing Liaison Office&lt;br /&gt;compound in Western.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Copyright (c) 2011.

Clear transcript below...&lt;br /&gt;Dear Children,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this time of a New Year Swami blesses you all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Your mission has begun.” This is what Swami wants to say to you all. Yes, your mission of increasing Viswaprema in this universe has begun. Through every single Nama you recite every day, the Viswaprema will increase. This is what will happen till next year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a unique chance given to you all. This not only helps the universe, but helps you as an individual, also for your inner self.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beware of the dawning age.  Forthcoming days will see the Mother Earth getting herself recharged.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Swam had said before, the welcoming of Golden Age has started. Mother Earth has started the preparation to welcome another Rama Rajyam – Sai Rama Rajyam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You all will be white angels, who has to help people in distress in that time. There will be perfect peace in the mind of man and in the world. For this, you need to increase the proximity of Swami – being near to Swami. The distance between you and Me is the distance between you and your mind. You surrender to Me and you will feel that you are near to Swami. Swami is always with you, but to feel that you need this exercise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Children! Getting to feel the nearness of Swami is difficult as it requires perfect surrender – Poorna Sharanagathi.  Still more difficult is to retain it. But when Poorna Sharanagathi is there, everything is easy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fear not! These are the preparatory instructions for you all. Swami shall never leave you in this process. The Bandham that we have is Janmanthara Bandham. Swami knows you all for lakhs and lakhs of years. Is it easy for anything to separate a child from her mother? No, but when you are derailing from the path, this Mother will give you bitter medicine to put you back in path. My sankalpa is to raise you all to a higher conscious plane. It shall be accomplished! None can stop that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Swami wants you all to chant Rudram.  Geetha S, Krishnamoothy, Satish, your duty is to train/teach all the children in this. Device a plan and work out accordingly. This chanting should be done daily in all the house, without fail. Total reformation will happen because of this. Rudra or Shiva will destroy all ashubham and grant mangalam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Children! This year! Your Nama japam alone can protect you all. That will be your raksha. Rama Namam is more powerful than Rama Himself. That is why chanting is required. Every morning, get up, after nature call, light the lamp and chant Rama Nama with 108 times. Then in any part of the day chant Rudram. Learn it and chant. Do this from 1st  without fail in every house where you live. Not even a single day should be missed out. Situations will not be conducive! Yes, that is Kali. Are you not parting time to bath, to eat, to chat with others! Why not for this divine cause, which is going to protect you.&lt;br /&gt;Children! Swami will be with you all throughout. Do not doubt that, and remove the thought of fear from you. Follow all these. Swami blesses you all, My dear children!&lt;br /&gt;With Love and Blessings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your Antharyami,&lt;br /&gt;ri Sathya Sai Baba&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the pure, serene (Sathwic) path of meditation, you will consider  repetition of the Holy Name and meditation should be as a duty and suffer any amount of trouble for its sake; you will be fully convinced that this world is just an illusion, so you will only do good under all conditions and at all times. You will desire only the good of all and will always love all; you will spend time uninterruptedly in the remembrance and meditation of the Lord. You will not crave even the fruit of repeating the Name and doing meditation; you will leave it all to the Lord.&lt;br /&gt; - Baba__._,_.___&lt;br /&gt;Attachment(s) from pujitha p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 of 1 File(s) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Swami_Dec_2010.pdf&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  - BABA &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- &lt;br /&gt;Tel: +91.9440686787&lt;br /&gt;www.karunasociety.org (site under reconstruction)&lt;br /&gt;Facebook: http://tiny.cc/7mzqj&lt;br /&gt;Every life counts.

What does HMO stand for?&lt;br /&gt;A. This is actually a variation of the phrase, 'Hey, Moe!' Its roots go back to a concept pioneered by Dr. Moe Howard of "The Three Stoogies " who discovered that a patient could be made to forget about the pain in his foot if he was poked hard enough in the eyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q. I just joined an HMO. How difficult will it be to choose the doctor I want?&lt;br /&gt;A. Just slightly more difficult than choosing your parents. Your insurer will provide you with a book listing all the doctors who were participating in the plan. These doctors basically fall into two categories those who are no longer accepting new patients, and those who will see you but are no longer part of the plan. But don't worry, the remaining doctor who is still in the plan and accepting new patients has an office just a half-day's drive away and that diploma from a small Caribbean Island is very fresh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q. Do all diagnostic procedures require pre-certification?&lt;br /&gt;A. No. Only those you need.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q. What are preexisting conditions?&lt;br /&gt;A. This is a term used by the grammatically challenged when they want to talk about existing conditions. Unfortunately, we appear to be pre-stuck with 'pre and now' meaning the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q. Can I get coverage for my preexisting conditions?&lt;br /&gt;A. Certainly, as long as they don't require any treatment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q. What happens if I want to try alternative forms of medicine?&lt;br /&gt;A. You'll need to find alternative forms of payment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q. My pharmacy plan only covers generic drugs, but I need the name brand. I tried the generic medication, but it gave me a stomach ache. What should I do?&lt;br /&gt;A. Poke yourself in the eye.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q. What if I'm away from home and I get sick?&lt;br /&gt;A. You really shouldn't do that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q. I think I need to see a specialist, but my doctor insists he can handle my problem. Can a general practitioner really perform a heart transplant right in his office?&lt;br /&gt;A. Hard to say, but considering that all you're risking is the $10 CO-payment, there is no harm giving him a shot at it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q. Will health care be any different in the next century?&lt;br /&gt;A. No. But if you call right now, you might get an appointment by then.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13801763-7162409782929793341?l=agrasen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/feeds/7162409782929793341/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13801763&amp;postID=7162409782929793341' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/7162409782929793341'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/7162409782929793341'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/2011/02/hmo.html' title='HMO'/><author><name>SHER SINGH AGRAWAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14955014952419938340</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13801763.post-9060589917593280848</id><published>2011-02-19T08:32:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-19T08:35:06.152-08:00</updated><title type='text'>VVIP CELL IN TIHAR JAIL (delhi)</title><content type='html'>VVIP CELL IN TIHAR JAIL (DELHI)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even in Narak these KHANGRESS wallahs will get VVIP treatment; so don't worry loot and plunder the country and make hay while it lasts!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;SUBHASH AGRAWAL &lt;subhashagrawal1950@gmail.com&gt;  Fri, Feb 18, 2011 at 7:55 PM  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;VVIP CELL IN TIHAR JAIL (DELHI)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It refers to news-item regarding former Union Communication Minister A Raja having put in a cell with VIP status where even two other prisoners are deputed to take proper care of the VIP prisoner.

Even room-freshener was sprayed in the cell to welcome the VIP prisoner A Raja. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; It is totally unfair in a democratic society to discriminated even prisoners with someone getting special VIP status even been served by fellow prisoners.

That's&lt;br /&gt;the reason she did not want him to be President for second tenure. However,&lt;br /&gt;it was shown by media that she sacrificed the PM position.*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Please read the full story with time. *&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Do You Know Your Sonia? By Dr. Subramanian Swamy*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Patriotic Indians should thank the President of India for having the&lt;br /&gt;courage by citing a legal hitch to dissuade Ms. Sonia Gandhi from&lt;br /&gt;staking her claim to form the government in May this year. She&lt;br /&gt;therefore did not as expected on May 17th become the Prime Minister of&lt;br /&gt;1 billion plus people of India. It can now be said that the nation has&lt;br /&gt;been saved from a monumental, devastating, and permanent injury to&lt;br /&gt;India's national interest and patriotic psyche of Indians. And&lt;br /&gt;therefore every effort that can be made in a democracy should be made&lt;br /&gt;to ensure that Ms. Sonia Gandhi is permanently out of reckoning for&lt;br /&gt;any public office. For those who instinctively understand that, this&lt;br /&gt;Note is to explain the factual basis for this conclusion, and suggest&lt;br /&gt;what patriotic Indians can do now .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My opposition to Ms. Sonia Gandhi is not merely because she is&lt;br /&gt;Italian-born. In other democratic countries, including in Italy, such&lt;br /&gt;an issue [of foreign-born aspiring to be head of government] would not&lt;br /&gt;even arise at all because the issue has already been settled by law,&lt;br /&gt;that a person cannot hold the highest public office unless he or she&lt;br /&gt;is native born.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In India there is no such law, but the President according to my&lt;br /&gt;knowledge, correctly acted on a proviso to Section 5 of the Indian&lt;br /&gt;Citizenship Act[1955] which empowers the Union Home Ministry to lay&lt;br /&gt;down conditions that apply to Indian citizenship acquired by&lt;br /&gt;foreigners by registration, which conditions would be based on the&lt;br /&gt;principle of reciprocity, viz., in Ms Gandhi's case such of those&lt;br /&gt;conditions that apply to Indians on becoming citizens of Italy would&lt;br /&gt;apply to her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The President reportedly told her that if she insisted on being&lt;br /&gt;invited to form the government, he would want first to clarify, on a&lt;br /&gt;reference to the Supreme Court, whether in view of this proviso her&lt;br /&gt;appointment as PM could be successfully challenged in the court. It is&lt;br /&gt;fair to assume that this report of the President's decision, is&lt;br /&gt;correct since the President had before him my petition dated May 15,&lt;br /&gt;2004 making just that point- that Ms. Gandhi's citizenship is&lt;br /&gt;conditional, and in particular she cannot be the PM legally. The&lt;br /&gt;President had also given me an appointment at 12.45 PM on May 17, 2004&lt;br /&gt;to explain my submissions in person, which I did. I also told him that&lt;br /&gt;I would challenge such a constitutional appointment in the Supreme&lt;br /&gt;Court just as I had in 2001 when the Tamil Nadu Governor illegally&lt;br /&gt;swore in Ms Jayalalitha as Chief Minister.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In that case, the Supreme Court had after hearing me and many other&lt;br /&gt;institutional luminaries, upheld my contention that mere majority in&lt;br /&gt;the House is insufficient for being sworn in to a constitutional&lt;br /&gt;office. There must be no disqualification as well. Ms. Jayalalitha had&lt;br /&gt;therefore to step down because she was disqualified by a conviction&lt;br /&gt;handed by a trial court in the TANSI corruption case filed by me as&lt;br /&gt;private complaint [she subsequently was acquitted by the Madras High&lt;br /&gt;Court, and hence became eligible the next year]. I also cited to the&lt;br /&gt;President a 1962 Allahabad High Court case, which held that this&lt;br /&gt;proviso in the Citizenship Act was binding and lawful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The nation in the Sonia matter has thus got an unexpected but&lt;br /&gt;temporary reprieve, a reprieve received not only because her&lt;br /&gt;citizenship of India by registration is not equal to one by birth even&lt;br /&gt;by Indian law, but also a reprieve more because of what national&lt;br /&gt;security risk was averted. To comprehend that risk, we must first&lt;br /&gt;understand who Sonia Gandhi really is and what danger she, her family&lt;br /&gt;and her friends in Italy hold for India's national security.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even for an Indian born citizen, we find it difficult to know a&lt;br /&gt;person's true background, but for an Italian born it is extremely hard&lt;br /&gt;because of the remote access for most people to Italy in language and&lt;br /&gt;familiarity. This note is about that danger that Sonia represents to&lt;br /&gt;the nation, which the people need to know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;II&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ms. Sonia Gandhi's background as is publicized by her and her Congress&lt;br /&gt;Party today, is based on three lies to hide the ugly reality of her&lt;br /&gt;life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, her real name is Antonia not Sonia. The Italian Ambassador in&lt;br /&gt;New Delhi revealed this in a letter dated April 27, 1983 to the Union&lt;br /&gt;Home Ministry which letter has not been made public. Antonia is&lt;br /&gt;Sonia's real name in her birth certificate. Sonia is the name given to&lt;br /&gt;her subsequently by her father, Stefano Maino [now deceased] following&lt;br /&gt;his return from Russia where he had been a prisoner of war. Stefano&lt;br /&gt;had joined the Nazi army as a volunteer. Sonia is a Russian not&lt;br /&gt;Italian name. While spending two years in a Russian jail, Sonia's&lt;br /&gt;father had become quite pro-Soviet; especially after the liberating US&lt;br /&gt;army in Italy had confiscated all fascists' properties including his.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second, she was not born in Orbassano as she claims in her bio data&lt;br /&gt;submitted to Parliament on becoming MP, but in Luciana as stated in&lt;br /&gt;her birth certificate. She perhaps would like to hide the place of her&lt;br /&gt;birth because of her father's connection with the Nazis and&lt;br /&gt;Mussolini's Fascists, and her family's continuing connections with the&lt;br /&gt;Nazi-Fascists underground that is still surviving since 1945 in Italy.&lt;br /&gt;Luciana is where Nazi-Fascist network is headquartered, and is on the&lt;br /&gt;Italian-Swiss border. There can be&lt;br /&gt;no other explanation for this otherwise meaningless lie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Third, Sonia Gandhi has not studied beyond High School. She has&lt;br /&gt;falsely claimed in her affidavit filed as a contesting candidate&lt;br /&gt;before the Rae Bareli Returning Officer in the 2004 Lok Sabha&lt;br /&gt;elections, that she qualified and got a diploma in English from the&lt;br /&gt;prestigious University of Cambridge, UK.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The truth is that Ms. Gandhi has never studied in any college&lt;br /&gt;anywhere. She did go to a Catholic nun run seminary-school called&lt;br /&gt;Maria Ausiliatrice in Giaveno [15 kms from adopted home town of&lt;br /&gt;Orbassabo]. Poverty those days forced young Italian girls to go to&lt;br /&gt;such missionaries and then in their teens go to UK to get jobs as&lt;br /&gt;cleaning maids, waitresses and au pair. The Mainos were poor those&lt;br /&gt;days. Her father was a mason and mother a share cropper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sonia thus went to the town of Cambridge and first learnt some English&lt;br /&gt;in a teaching shop called Lennox School [which has since 1970 been&lt;br /&gt;wound up]. That is all her "education" is-learnt enough English&lt;br /&gt;language to get domestic help jobs. But in Indian society education is&lt;br /&gt;highly valued. Thus, to fool the Indian public, Sonia Gandhi willfully&lt;br /&gt;fibbed about her qualifications in Parliamentary records [which is a&lt;br /&gt;Breach of Ethics Rules] and in a sworn affidavit [which is criminal&lt;br /&gt;offence under IPC, severe enough to disqualify her from being MP]. In&lt;br /&gt;popular parlance, this is called 420 or 10 "numberi" [not to be&lt;br /&gt;confused with 10 Janpath].&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These three lies indicate that Ms. Sonia Gandhi has something to hide,&lt;br /&gt;or has a hidden agenda for India. We need to find out more about her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;III&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ms. Sonia Gandhi upon learning enough English became a waitress in&lt;br /&gt;Varsity Restaurant in Cambridge town. She first met Rajiv when he came&lt;br /&gt;to the restaurant in 1965. Rajiv was a student in the University, but&lt;br /&gt;could not cope with the academic rigour for long. So he had to depart&lt;br /&gt;in 1966 for London where he was briefly in Imperial College of&lt;br /&gt;Engineering as a student.&lt;br /&gt;Sonia too moved to London, and according my information, got a job&lt;br /&gt;with an outfit run by Salman Thassir, a debonair Pakistani based in&lt;br /&gt;Lahore, and who has a export-import company headquartered in Dubai but&lt;br /&gt;who spends most of his time in London. This fits the profile of an ISI&lt;br /&gt;functionary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously, Sonia made enough money in this job to loan Rajiv funds in&lt;br /&gt;London, who was obviously living beyond his allowances [Indira herself&lt;br /&gt;expressed anguish to me on this score in late 1965 when she invited me&lt;br /&gt;to a private tea at the Guest House in Brandeis University]. Rajiv's&lt;br /&gt;letters to Sanjay, who was also in London then, clearly indicate that&lt;br /&gt;he was in financial debt to Sonia because he requested Sanjay who&lt;br /&gt;obviously had more access to money, to pay off the debt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, Rajiv was not the only friend Sonia was seeing those days.&lt;br /&gt;Madhavrao Scindia and a German by name Stiegler are worth mentioning&lt;br /&gt;as other good friends of Sonia. Madhavrao's friendship continued even&lt;br /&gt;after Sonia's marriage to Rajiv. Scindia in 1982 was involved in a&lt;br /&gt;traffic accident near IIT, Delhi main gate while driving a car at 2&lt;br /&gt;AM. Sonia was the only other passenger. Both were badly injured. A&lt;br /&gt;student of IIT who was burning midnight oil was out for a cup of&lt;br /&gt;coffee. He picked them up from the car, hailed an auto rickshaw and&lt;br /&gt;sent an injured Sonia to Mrs Indira Gandhi's house since she insisted&lt;br /&gt;in not going to a hospital. Madhavrao had broken a leg and in too much&lt;br /&gt;pain to make any demand. He was taken to hospital by the Delhi Police&lt;br /&gt;who had arrived a little after Sonia had left the scene. In later&lt;br /&gt;years, Madhavrao had become privately critical of Sonia, and told some&lt;br /&gt;close friends about his apprehensions about Sonia. It is a pity that&lt;br /&gt;he died in mysterious circumstances in an aircrash.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The circumstance under which Rajiv hastily married Sonia in a Church&lt;br /&gt;in Orbassano is controversial but that was his personal matter that&lt;br /&gt;has no public significance. But what is of public significance is that&lt;br /&gt;Indira Gandhi who was initially dead set against the marriage for&lt;br /&gt;reasons known to her, relented to hold a registry marriage with Hindu&lt;br /&gt;ceremonial trappings in New Delhi only after the pro-Soviet T.N. Kaul&lt;br /&gt;prevailed upon her to accept the marriage in "the larger interest of&lt;br /&gt;cementing Indo-Soviet Friendship". Kaul would not have intervened&lt;br /&gt;unless the Soviet Union had asked him to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IV&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Such has been the extensive patronage from the beginning extended to&lt;br /&gt;Sonia Gandhi from the Soviets. When a Prime Minister of India's son&lt;br /&gt;dates a girl in London, the KGB which valued Indo-Soviet relations,&lt;br /&gt;obviously would investigate her and find out that she was the daughter&lt;br /&gt;of Stefano, their old reliable Italian contact. Thus, Sonia with Rajiv&lt;br /&gt;meant deeper access to the household of the Indian Prime Minister.&lt;br /&gt;Hence cementing the Rajiv-Sonia relations was in the Soviet national&lt;br /&gt;interest and they went to work on it. And they did through their then&lt;br /&gt;existing moles in the Indira Gandhi camp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After her marriage to Rajiv, the Soviet connection with the Mainos was&lt;br /&gt;fortified and nurtured by generous financial help through commissions&lt;br /&gt;and kickbacks on every Indo,Soviet trade deal and defence purchases.&lt;br /&gt;According to the respected Swiss magazine, Schweitzer Illustrate&lt;br /&gt;[November 1991 issue], Rajiv Gandhi had about $ 2 billion in numbered&lt;br /&gt;Swiss bank&lt;br /&gt;accounts,which Sonia inherited upon his assassination. Dr. Yevgenia&lt;br /&gt;Albats, Ph.D [Harvard], is a noted Russian scholar and journalist, and&lt;br /&gt;was a member of the KGB Commission set up by President Yeltsin in&lt;br /&gt;August 1991. She was privy to the Soviet intelligence files that&lt;br /&gt;documented these deals and KGB facilitation of the same. In her book,&lt;br /&gt;The State Within a State. The KGB in&lt;br /&gt;Soviet Union, she even gives the file numbers of such intelligence&lt;br /&gt;files, which can now be accessed by any Indian government through a&lt;br /&gt;formal request to the Kremlin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Russsian Government in 1992 was confronted by the Albats'&lt;br /&gt;disclosure; they confirmed it through their official spokesperson to&lt;br /&gt;the press [which was published in Hindu in 1992], defending such&lt;br /&gt;financial payments as necessary in "Soviet ideological interest".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the Soviet Union disintegrated in 1991, things changed for Ms.&lt;br /&gt;Sonia Gandhi. Her patrons evaporated. The rump that became Russia was&lt;br /&gt;in a financial mess and disorder. So Ms. Sonia Gandhi became a&lt;br /&gt;supporter of another communist country to the annoyance of the&lt;br /&gt;Russians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The national security ramification of this 'annoyance' is now&lt;br /&gt;significant: The President of Russia today is Putin, a former&lt;br /&gt;dyed-in-the-wool KGB officer. Upon Dr. Manmohan Singh's government&lt;br /&gt;taking office, Russia called back it's career diplomat mbassador in&lt;br /&gt;New Delhi and immediately posted as the new Ambassador a person who&lt;br /&gt;was the KGB station chief in New Delhi during the 1970s. In view of&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Albats confirmed revelation, it stands to reason that the new&lt;br /&gt;Ambassador would have known first hand about Sonia's connections with&lt;br /&gt;the KGB. He may have in fact been her "controller". The new Indian&lt;br /&gt;government which is defacto Sonia's, cannot afford to annoy him or&lt;br /&gt;even disregard Russian demands coming from him? They will obviously&lt;br /&gt;placate&lt;br /&gt;him so as not to risk exposure. Is this not a major national security&lt;br /&gt;risk and a delicate matter for the nation?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, all Indians would like good normal and healthy relations&lt;br /&gt;with Russia. Who can forget their assistance to us in times of need?&lt;br /&gt;Today's Russia is the residual legatee of that Soviet Union which&lt;br /&gt;helped India. But just because of that, should we tolerate those in&lt;br /&gt;our government set up having clandestine links with a foreign spy&lt;br /&gt;agency? In the United States, the government did not tolerate an&lt;br /&gt;American spying for Israel even though the two countries are as close&lt;br /&gt;as any two countries can be. National security and friendship are as&lt;br /&gt;different as chalk and cheese.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In December 2001, I had filed a Writ Petition in the Delhi High Court&lt;br /&gt;with the photocopies of the KGB documents, and sought a CBI&lt;br /&gt;investigation, which the Vajpayee Government was refusing. Earlier,&lt;br /&gt;Minister of State for CBI, Vasundara Raje [now Rajasthan CM], on my&lt;br /&gt;letter dated March 3, 2001, had ordered the CBI to investigate. But&lt;br /&gt;after Sonia Gandhi and her party stalled the proceedings of Parliament&lt;br /&gt;on this issue, the then Prime Minister Vajpayee cancelled Vasundara's&lt;br /&gt;direction to the CBI.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Delhi High Court issued a direction to the CBI to ascertain from&lt;br /&gt;Russia the truth of my charges. The CBI procrastinated for three&lt;br /&gt;years, and finally told the Court without an FIR registered the&lt;br /&gt;Russians will not entertain any such query. But who stopped the CBI&lt;br /&gt;from registering an FIR? The next hearing of the case is on September&lt;br /&gt;8th.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*-----*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;V&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Sonia married Rajiv, she went about minting money with scant&lt;br /&gt;regard for Indian laws and treasures. Within a few years the Mainos&lt;br /&gt;went from utter poverty to billionaires. There was no area that was&lt;br /&gt;left out for the rip-off. On November 19, 1974, as fresh entrant to&lt;br /&gt;Parliament, I asked the then Prime Minister Ms. Indira Gandhi on the&lt;br /&gt;floor of the House if her daughter-in-law, Sonia Gandhi was acting as&lt;br /&gt;an insurance agent of a public sector insurance company [Oriental Fire&lt;br /&gt;&amp; Insurance], giving the Prime Minister's official residence as her&lt;br /&gt;business address, and using undue influence to insure all the officers&lt;br /&gt;of the PMO while remaining an Italian citizen [thus violating FERA]?&lt;br /&gt;There was uproar in Parliament, but Mrs. Indira Gandhi had no&lt;br /&gt;alternative but to cut her losses. She made a rare admission that it&lt;br /&gt;was so, and that it was by mistake, but that Sonia had resigned from&lt;br /&gt;her insurance agent status [after my question]. But Sonia was&lt;br /&gt;incorrigible. Her contempt for Indian law continued to manifest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Justice A.C. Gupta Commission set up by the Janata Party&lt;br /&gt;government in 1977 came out with a voluminous report on the Maruti&lt;br /&gt;Company then owned by the Gandhi family, and has listed eight&lt;br /&gt;violations of FERA, Companies Act, and Foreigners Registration Act by&lt;br /&gt;Sonia Gandhi. She was never prosecuted, but can be still prosecuted&lt;br /&gt;because under Indian law, economic crimes not subject to the statute&lt;br /&gt;of limitation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In January 1980, Indira Gandhi returned as Prime Minister. The first&lt;br /&gt;thing Sonia did was to enroll herself as a voter. This was a gross&lt;br /&gt;violation of the law, enough to cause cancellation of her visa [since&lt;br /&gt;she was admittedly an Italian citizen then]. There was some hullabaloo&lt;br /&gt;in the press about it, so the Delhi Chief Electoral Officer got her&lt;br /&gt;name deleted in 1982. But in January 1983, she again enrolled herself&lt;br /&gt;as a voter! Such is her revealed disdain for Indian laws and that is&lt;br /&gt;her mindset even today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;VI&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bottom line observed in Sonia's mindset is that she can always run&lt;br /&gt;back to Italy if she becomes vulnerable at anytime. In Peru, President&lt;br /&gt;Fujimori who all along claimed to be "born Peruvian", faced with a&lt;br /&gt;corruption charge fled to Japan with his loot and reclaimed his&lt;br /&gt;Japanese citizenship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1977, when the Janata Party defeated the Congress at the polls, and&lt;br /&gt;formed the government, Sonia with her two children, abandoned Indira&lt;br /&gt;Gandhi and ran to the Italian Embassy in New Delhi and hid there.&lt;br /&gt;Rajiv Gandhi was a government servant then [as an Indian Airlines&lt;br /&gt;pilot], but he too tagged along and hid in that foreign embassy ! Such&lt;br /&gt;was her baneful influence on&lt;br /&gt;him. Rajiv did snap out Sonia's influence after 1989, but alas he was&lt;br /&gt;assassinated before he could rectify it. Those close to Rajiv knew&lt;br /&gt;that he was planning set things right about Sonia after the 1991&lt;br /&gt;elections. She did too know of it because he had told her. Ever wonder&lt;br /&gt;why Sonia's closest advisers are those whom Rajiv literally hated?&lt;br /&gt;Ambika Soni is one such name  Ever wonder why she asked the President&lt;br /&gt;of India to set aside, on a mercy petition, the Supreme Court judgment&lt;br /&gt;directing that Rajiv Gandhi's LTTE killers be hanged to death, when&lt;br /&gt;she was not similarly moved for Satwant Singh who killed Indira Gandhi&lt;br /&gt;or recently for Dhanajoy Chattopadhyaya? The explanation for this&lt;br /&gt;special consideration for the LTTE lies in what Rajiv had told her in&lt;br /&gt;1990.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who have no love for India will not hesitate to plunder her&lt;br /&gt;treasures. Mohammed Ghori, Nadir Shah, and the British scum in the&lt;br /&gt;East India Company made no secret of it. But Sonia Gandhi has been&lt;br /&gt;more discreet, but as greedy, in her looting of Indian treasures. When&lt;br /&gt;Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi were Prime Ministers, not a day passed&lt;br /&gt;when the PM's security did not go to the New Delhi, or Chennai&lt;br /&gt;international airport to send crates and crates unchecked by customs&lt;br /&gt;to Rome. Air India and Alitalia were the carriers. Mr. Arjun Singh&lt;br /&gt;first as CM, later as Union Minister in charge of Culture was her&lt;br /&gt;hatchet man. Indian temple sculpture of gods and goddesses, antiques,&lt;br /&gt;pichwai paintings, shatoosh shawls, coins, and you name it, were&lt;br /&gt;transported to Italy to be first displayed in two shops owned by her&lt;br /&gt;sister [i.e., Anuskha alias Alessandra]. These shops located in&lt;br /&gt;blue-collar areas of Rivolta [shop name: Etnica] and Orbassano [shop&lt;br /&gt;name:Ganpati] did little business because which blue collar Italian&lt;br /&gt;wants Indian antiques? The shops were to make false bills, and&lt;br /&gt;thereafter these treasures were taken to London for auction by&lt;br /&gt;Sotheby's and Christies. Some of this ill-gotten money from auction&lt;br /&gt;went into Rahul Gandhi's National way into the Gandhi family account&lt;br /&gt;in the Bank of America in Cayman Islands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rahul's expenses and tuition fees for the one-year he was at Harvard,&lt;br /&gt;was paid from the Cayman Island account. What kind of people are these&lt;br /&gt;Gandhi-Mainos that bite the very hand of Bharat Mata that fed them and&lt;br /&gt;gave them a good life? How can the nation trust such greedy thieves?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I failed to persuade the Vajpayee government to defend India's&lt;br /&gt;treasures from plunder by the Mainos, I approached the Delhi High&lt;br /&gt;Court in a PIL. The first Bench of the court issued notice to the&lt;br /&gt;Government, but since the Indian government ragged it's feet, the&lt;br /&gt;Court directed the CBI to seek Interpol's and Italian government's&lt;br /&gt;help. The Italian government justifiably asked for a Letter Rogatory&lt;br /&gt;for which a FIR is a pre-requisite. But the Interpol did oblige and&lt;br /&gt;submitted two voluminous reports, which the Court directed the CBI to&lt;br /&gt;hand over to me. But CBI has refused, and has claimed privilege! The&lt;br /&gt;CBI has also been caught lying in court by telling the judges that&lt;br /&gt;Alessandra Maino is a name of a man, and Via Bellini 14, Orbassano is&lt;br /&gt;a name of a village [not the street address of the Maino's residence].&lt;br /&gt;Although the CBI counsel had to apologise to the court stating he made&lt;br /&gt;a mistake, he has been promoted to Additional Solicitor General by the&lt;br /&gt;new government! The Vajpayee-Sonia mutual assistance pact is in full&lt;br /&gt;view. The case now comes up on September 8th.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the most sinister aspect of Sonia Gandhi's character is her&lt;br /&gt;connection with terrorists. I am still working on it, but she has had&lt;br /&gt;long connection with the Habash group of Palestinian, and has funded&lt;br /&gt;Palestinian families that lost their kith and kin in a suicide bombing&lt;br /&gt;or hijacking episode. This, Rajiv Gandhi himself told me and was&lt;br /&gt;confirmed to me [the funding] by Yassir Arafat when I met him in Tunis&lt;br /&gt;on October 17, 1990 at the request of Rajiv Gandhi. Rajiv Gandhi and I&lt;br /&gt;were good friends from 1978, but became very close buddies after V.P.&lt;br /&gt;Singh had betrayed him in 1987. We met practically every day, mostly&lt;br /&gt;in the early hours from 1AM to 4AM. It was at my suggestion that he&lt;br /&gt;made Chandrashekhar the PM. And contrary to public impression, he was&lt;br /&gt;not mainly responsible for the fall of Chandrashekar government in&lt;br /&gt;which I was a Minister.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides the Palestinian extremists, the Maino family have had&lt;br /&gt;extensive business dealings with Saddam Hussein, and surprisingly with&lt;br /&gt;the LTTE ["the Tamil Tigers"] since 1984. Sonia's mother Paola&lt;br /&gt;Predebon Maino, and businessman Ottavio Quattrocchi were the main&lt;br /&gt;contacts with the Tigers. The mother used the LTTE for money&lt;br /&gt;laundering and Quattrocchi for selling weapons to earn commissions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sonia's conduit to the LTTE has been and is through Arjun Singh who&lt;br /&gt;uses Bangalore as the nodal point for contact. There is a string of&lt;br /&gt;circumstantial evidence pointing to the prima facie possibility that&lt;br /&gt;the Maino family may have contracted the LTTE to kill Rajiv Gandhi.&lt;br /&gt;The family may have assured the LTTE that nothing would happen to them&lt;br /&gt;because they would ensure it is blamed on the Sikhs or the evidence so&lt;br /&gt;much fudged that no court would convict them. But D.R. Karthikeyan of&lt;br /&gt;the CBI who led the SIT investigation got the support of Narasimha Rao&lt;br /&gt;and cracked the case, and got the LTTE convicted in the trial court,&lt;br /&gt;and which conviction was upheld in the Supreme Court.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although on the involvement of Congress Party in the assassination,&lt;br /&gt;DRK soft peddled on a number of leads perhaps because he did not want&lt;br /&gt;political controversy to put roadblocks on his investigation as a&lt;br /&gt;whole. The Justice J. S. Verma Commission, which was set up as the&lt;br /&gt;last official act of the Chandrashekhar government before demitting&lt;br /&gt;office on June 21, 1991, did find that the Congress leaders had&lt;br /&gt;disrupted the security arrangements for the Sriperumbudur meeting. The&lt;br /&gt;Commission wanted further probe into it but the Rao government&lt;br /&gt;rejected that demand. In the meantime under Sonia's pressure, the Jain&lt;br /&gt;Commission was set up by the Rao government, which tried to muddy the&lt;br /&gt;waters and thus exonerate the LTTE. But the trial court judgment&lt;br /&gt;convicting the LTTE came earlier, and that sinister effort too failed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nowadays, Sonia is quite unabashed in having political alliance with&lt;br /&gt;those who praise Rajiv Gandhi's killers. No Indian widow would ever do&lt;br /&gt;that. My investigations into Sonia's involvement in Rajiv's&lt;br /&gt;assassination is therefore still on. I am also author of a best seller&lt;br /&gt;titled Assassination Of Rajiv Gandhi,Unasked Questions and Unanswered&lt;br /&gt;Queries [published by Konark in 2000] in which I have given some&lt;br /&gt;indications.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it not significant that the political career of Sonia Gandhi&lt;br /&gt;advances concomitantly with a series of assassinations and apparently&lt;br /&gt;accidental deaths? How did Sanjay's plane nosedive to a crash and yet&lt;br /&gt;the fuselage not explode? There was no fuel! Why was there no inquiry&lt;br /&gt;conducted? Is it not a fact that Indira Gandhi died because of loss of&lt;br /&gt;blood from the wounds and&lt;br /&gt;not directly due to a bullet impacting her head or heart? Then is it&lt;br /&gt;not strange that Sonia had insisted that the bleeding Indira be driven&lt;br /&gt;to Lohia Hospital - in the opposite direction to AIIMS, which had a&lt;br /&gt;contingency protocol set up for precisely suchan event? And after&lt;br /&gt;reaching Lohia Hospital, did not Sonia change her mind and demand that&lt;br /&gt;they all drive to AIIMS thus losing 24 valuable minutes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The same kind of mystery surrounds the sudden deaths of Sonia's other&lt;br /&gt;political roadblocks such as Rajesh Pilot, Jitendra Prasad, and&lt;br /&gt;Madhavrao Scindia. Such things happened in the dark ages in Italy.&lt;br /&gt;Should we allow it India like dumb cattle?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What Can We Do?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have to ensure that the Maino clan does not stay in power. Dr.&lt;br /&gt;Manmohan Singh may be PM, which is a small relief, but he is not a&lt;br /&gt;fighter. The real power in government today is wielded by the Maino&lt;br /&gt;mafia gang. Can they be dethroned?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Indian democracy, only a shocking scandal can unseat a government&lt;br /&gt;other than by losing majority. Today's priority is not for toppling&lt;br /&gt;the Congress government as such since Manmohan Singh is a decent and&lt;br /&gt;scholarly person, but in driving the Maino clan out of India. It will&lt;br /&gt;however not be long before Sonia will give Manmohan Singh marching&lt;br /&gt;orders, and he will march out&lt;br /&gt;meekly. We should not expect him to resist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With Sonia's defacto government in place, it is also unrealistic to&lt;br /&gt;expect that I can get an early victory in the courts on the KGB and&lt;br /&gt;antique smuggling cases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most potent weapon therefore to dislodge the Maino clan [including&lt;br /&gt;Rahul and Priyanka] is by exposing their Italian citizenship. In 1992,&lt;br /&gt;Sonia revived her citizenship of Italy under Article 17 of the Italian&lt;br /&gt;Citizenship Law [Act 91 of 1992]. Rahul and Priyanka were born Italian&lt;br /&gt;citizens because Sonia was Italian when she gave birth to them&lt;br /&gt;[Italian law based on jure&lt;br /&gt;sanguinis]. Hence, they continue be Italians since they never&lt;br /&gt;renounced it. Both have been traveling abroad on Italian passports.&lt;br /&gt;They may now acquire Venezuela passports since Rahul's girl friend&lt;br /&gt;Veronica is a Venezuelan. That means one more foreign bahu for us&lt;br /&gt;tolerant Indians. The Maino-Gandhis are certainly getting globalized.&lt;br /&gt;So what can patriotic Indians do?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is an urgent need to document these facts on notarized paper,&lt;br /&gt;for which we need a network in London, Milan, Hongkong and Venezuela.&lt;br /&gt;Those persuaded by my above stated facts and arguments may join in and&lt;br /&gt;help set up this network.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;_._,_.___&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;with my kind regards,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CHAITANYA AGGARWAL&lt;br /&gt;Architect&lt;br /&gt;9811321480&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13801763-5692173034708312237?l=agrasen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/feeds/5692173034708312237/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13801763&amp;postID=5692173034708312237' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/5692173034708312237'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/5692173034708312237'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/2011/02/know-your-sonia-maino-antonio.html' title='KNOW YOUR SONIA MAINO ANTONIO'/><author><name>SHER SINGH AGRAWAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14955014952419938340</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13801763.post-5472322557877748287</id><published>2011-02-18T08:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-18T08:04:01.951-08:00</updated><title type='text'>WHO CAN KNOW OR REVEAL THE TRUTH</title><content type='html'>SHER AGRAWAL &lt;agrasen@gmail.com&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Fw: MRS SONIA GANDHI COME CLEAN BEFORE 120 CRORE INDIANS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----- Forwarded Message ----&lt;br /&gt;From: bhagwat goel &lt;bhagwatgoel2000@yahoo.co.in&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Subject: MRS SONIA GANDHI COME CLEAN BEFORE 120 CRORE INDIANS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;TO:   Mrs Sonia Gandhi -10 Janpath New Delhi&lt;br /&gt;           Congress President,UPA Chairperson&lt;br /&gt;also to you THROUGH PARTY MEN,RAHUL AND MINISTERS BESIDES PMO.&lt;br /&gt;copy to: Sh L.K.Advani&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Mrs Sonia Gandhi;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;                   Shri Advani is Hindu Gentleman so he sent you polite reply about your not having any account in Foreign Banks.

Every time he saw thousands of devotees coming to take darshan of the Lord, he thought that the Lord is standing all the time and giving darshan and He must be feeling very tired. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So one day very innocently he asked the Lord whether he can take the place of the Lord for a day so that the Lord can have some relief and rest. The Deity of Temple replied, "I do not mind taking a break. I will transform you like Myself, but you must do one thing. You must just stand here like Me, smile at everyone and just give benedictions. Do not interfere with anything and do not say anything. Remember you are the deity and you just have faith that I have a master plan for everything." The sweeper agreed to this. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next day the sweeper took the position of the deity and a rich man came and prayed to the Lord. He offered a nice donation and prayed that his business should be prosperous. While going, the rich man inadvertently left his wallet full of money right there. Now the sweeper in the form of deity could not call him and so he decided to control himself and keep quiet. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just then a poor man came and he put one coin in the Hundi and said that it was all he could afford and he prayed to the Lord that he should continue to be engaged in the Lord's service. He also said that his family was in dire need of some basic needs but he left it to the good hands of the Lord to give some solution. When he opened his eyes, he saw the wallet left by the rich man. The poor man thanked the Lord for His kindness and took the wallet very innocently. The sweeper in the form of the Deity could not say anything and he had to just keep smiling. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At that point a sailor walked in. He prayed for his safe journey as he was going on a long trip. Just then the rich man came with the police and said that somebody has stolen his wallet and seeing the sailor there, he asked the police to arrest him thinking that he might have taken it. Now the sweeper in the form of Deity wanted to say that the sailor is not the thief and he could not say and he was greatly frustrated. The sailor looked at the Lord and asked why he an innocent person is being punished. The rich man looked at the Lord and thanked Him for finding the thief. The sweeper in the deity form could no more tolerate and he thought that even if the real Lord had been here, he would have definitely interfered and hence he started speaking and said that the sailor is not the thief but it was the poor man who took away the wallet. The rich man was very thankful as also the sailor. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the night, the real Lord came and He asked the sweeper how the day was. The sweeper said, "I thought it would be easy, but now I know that Your days are not easy, but I did one good thing." Then he explained the whole episode to the Lord. The Lord became very upset on hearing this whereas the sweeper thought the Lord would appreciate him for the good deed done. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Lord asked, "Why did you not just stick to the plan? You had no faith in Me. Do you think that I do not understand the hearts of all those who come here? All the donation which the rich man gave was all stolen money and it is only a fraction of what he really has and he wants Me to reciprocate unlimitedly. The single coin offered by the poor man was the last coin he was having and he gave it to Me out of faith. The sailor might not have done anything wrong, but if the sailor were to go in the ship that night he was about to die because of bad weather and instead if he is arrested he would be in the jail and he would have been saved form a greater calamity. The wallet should go to the poor man because he will use it in My service. I was going to reduce the rich man's karma also by doing this and save the sailor also. But you cancelled everything because you thought you know My plan and you made your own plans." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God has plans and justice for everyone....we just have to have patience.............. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; ======================================&lt;br /&gt;                   &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13801763-5513680934973982488?l=agrasen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/feeds/5513680934973982488/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13801763&amp;postID=5513680934973982488' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/5513680934973982488'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/5513680934973982488'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/2011/02/how-bhagwan-works-nice-story-to-read.html' title='HOW BHAGWAN WORKS - A NICE STORY TO READ'/><author><name>SHER SINGH AGRAWAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14955014952419938340</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13801763.post-2222172233641276054</id><published>2011-02-16T05:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-16T05:05:14.020-08:00</updated><title type='text'>DANGEROUS DRUGS!</title><content type='html'>SHER AGRAWAL &lt;agrasen@gmail.com&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;URGENT - Medication that is deadly&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Krishnaswamy Narasimhan &lt;krish45@gmail.com&gt;  Tue, Feb 15, 2011 at 9:00 PM  &lt;br /&gt;To: Krishnaswamy Narasimhan &lt;krish45@gmail.com&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Bcc: agrasen@gmail.com  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Please read this. There are medicines we take all the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   I am passing this email forwarded to me this evening. It's about a medication that is familiar to many of us. Note also the FDA 's comments at the end of the message. &lt;br /&gt;I received this information from a friend whose mother recently passed away. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently, this was caused by a medication that is deadly.  Here are the details and I suggest you pass it on to your loved ones and others. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Subject: Phenylpropanolamine (PPA) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would like to thank those of you who expressed condolences on the recent passing of my mother. She suffered a hemorrhagic stroke while she was driving home from my house at 7:30 and passed away at 8:30. My mother's stroke and passing was an enormous shock to my family because she did not have any symptoms or risk factors for a stroke. Just the week before she had gone to her doctor for a check up and received a clean bill of health. She did, however, develop a cold while she was visiting me and had taken Alka Seltzer Cold Plus for 3 days. Since her passing, we have learned that Alka Seltzer is one of the many cold medicines that contains Phenylpropanolamine (PPA) which can cause hemorrhagic stokes  or cerebral bleeding even with the first use. I am forwarding a list of other medications that currently use PPA. These medicines are supposedly being recalled but my mother just purchased this medication less than two weeks ago. Pharmaceutical companies &lt;br /&gt;have known about this danger for years, we unfortunately, did not. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I urge you to review the list of medicines with PPA and avoid these medications. All drugs containing PHENYLPROPANOLAMINE are dangerous. You may want to try calling the 800 number listed on most drug boxes and inquire about a REFUND. Please read this CAREFULLY. Also, please pass this on to everyone you know. STOP TAKING anything containing this ingredient. It has been linked to increased hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding in brain) among women ages 18-49 in the three days after starting use of medication. Problems were not found in men, but the FDA recommended that everyone (even children) seek alternative medicine. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following medications contain Phenylpropanolamine: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acutrim Diet Gum Appetite Suppressant &lt;br /&gt;Acutrim Plus Dietary Supplements &lt;br /&gt;Acutrim Maximum Strength Appetite Control &lt;br /&gt;Alka-Seltzer Plus Children's Cold Medicine Effervescent &lt;br /&gt;Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold medicine (cherry or or ange) &lt;br /&gt;Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold Medicine Original &lt;br /&gt;Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold &amp; Cough Medicine Effervescent &lt;br /&gt;Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold &amp; Flu Medicine &lt;br /&gt;Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold &amp; Sinus Effervescent &lt;br /&gt;Alka Seltzer Plus Night-Time Cold Medicine &lt;br /&gt;BC Allergy Sinus Cold Powder &lt;br /&gt;BC Sinus Cold Powder &lt;br /&gt;Comtrex Flu Therapy &amp; Fever Relief &lt;br /&gt;Day &amp; Night Contac 12-Hour Cold Capsules &lt;br /&gt;Contac 12 Hour Caplets &lt;br /&gt;Coricidin D Cold, Flu &amp; Sinus &lt;br /&gt;Dexatrim Caffeine Free &lt;br /&gt;Dexatrim Extended Duration &lt;br /&gt;Dexatrim Gelcaps &lt;br /&gt;Dexatrim Vitamin C/Caffeine Free &lt;br /&gt;Dimetapp Cold &amp; Allergy Chewable Tablets &lt;br /&gt;Dimetapp Cold &amp; Cough Liqui-Gels &lt;br /&gt;Dimetapp DM Cold &amp; Cough Elixir &lt;br /&gt;Dimetapp Elixir &lt;br /&gt;Dimetapp 4 Hour Liquid Gels &lt;br /&gt;Dimetapp 4 Hour Tablets &lt;br /&gt;Dimetapp 12 Hour Extentabs Tablets &lt;br /&gt;Naldecon DX Pediatric Drops &lt;br /&gt;Permathene Mega-16 &lt;br /&gt;Robitussin CF &lt;br /&gt;Tavist-D 12 Hour Relief of Sinus &amp; Nasal Congestion &lt;br /&gt;Triaminic DM Cough Rel! ief &lt;br /&gt;Triaminic Expectorant Chest &amp; Head &lt;br /&gt;Triaminic Syrup ! !

If you know of anyone else with small children, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PLEASE PASS THIS ON.

The sacred scriptures of both Yoga and Sanatana Dharma teach us that our true, innermost nature is that we are atman, or eternal units of consciousness. We have the Absolute (Brahman, or God) as both our causative and substantial source, and as the ontological sustainer of our existential being. Having God as our underlying source, it necessarily follows that we naturally share in many of God's essential attributive qualities. Because we participate in God's innate attributes - and if not to a quantitatively equivalent degree, then certainly to a qualitative one - we too share in many of God's qualities. One of those attributes that both the infinite Godhead and we as finite units of consciousness have in common is necessary existence. In other words, both God and we ourselves (atmans, or souls) are eternal by our inherent nature. God and individual atmans cannot but exist. To go out of existence is simply not within the realm of our capability.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never was there a time when we came into being, and never will there be a time when we cease to exist. So, in a way, we exist because we cannot but exist, being purely spiritual beings in essence. Such is our nature, for it is the nature of God, the ultimate source of our being...."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;VISIT HERE TO READ THE REST OF THIS ENLIGHTENING ARTICLE:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.dharmacentral.com/forum/content.php?14-Human-Existence&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please forward this information to all sincere spiritual seekers.

In 1997, he won the Pulitzer Prize for editorial writing. It is well worth reading, and a few good chuckles are&lt;br /&gt;guaranteed. Here goes..** *&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My father never drove a car. Well, that's not quite right. I should say I&lt;br /&gt;never saw him drive a car. He quit driving in 1927, when he was 25 years&lt;br /&gt;old, and the last car he drove was a 1926 Whippet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In those days," he told me when he was in his 90's, "to drive a car you had&lt;br /&gt;to do things with your hands, and do things with your feet, and look every&lt;br /&gt;which way, and I decided you could walk through life and enjoy it or drive&lt;br /&gt;through life and miss it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At which point my mother, a sometimes salty Irishwoman, chimed in: "Oh,&lt;br /&gt;bull----!" she said. "He hit a horse."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Well," my father said, "there was that, too."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So my brother and I grew up in a household without a car. The neighbors all had cars -- the Kollingses next door had a green 1941 Dodge, the&lt;br /&gt;VanLaninghams across the street a gray 1936 Plymouth, the Hopsons two doors down a black 1941 Ford -- but we had none.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My father, a newspaperman in Des Moines , would take the streetcar to work&lt;br /&gt;and, often as not, walk the 3 miles home. If he took the streetcar home, my&lt;br /&gt;mother and brother and I would walk the three blocks to the streetcar stop,&lt;br /&gt;meet him and walk home together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My brother, David, was born in 1935, and I was born in 1938, and sometimes,&lt;br /&gt;at dinner, we'd ask how come all the neighbors had cars but we had none. "No one in the family drives," my mother would explain, and that was that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, sometimes, my father would say, "But as soon as one of you boys turns 16, we'll get one." It was as if he wasn't sure which one of us would turn 16 first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, sure enough , my brother turned 16 before I did, so in 1951 my parents bought a used 1950 Chevrolet from a friend who ran the parts department at aChevy dealership downtown.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a four-door, white model, stick shift, fender skirts, loaded with&lt;br /&gt;everything, and, since my parents didn't drive, it more or less became my&lt;br /&gt;brother's car.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having a car but not being able to drive didn't bother my father, but it&lt;br /&gt;didn't make sense to my mother.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So in 1952, when she was 43 years old, she asked a friend to teach her to&lt;br /&gt;drive. She learned in a nearby cemetery, the place where I learned to drive&lt;br /&gt;the following year and where, a generation later, I took my two sons to&lt;br /&gt;practice driving. The cemetery probably was my father's idea. "Who can your mother hurt in the cemetery?" I remember him saying more than once.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the next 45 years or so, until she was 90, my mother was the driver in&lt;br /&gt;the family. Neither she nor my father had any sense of direction, but he&lt;br /&gt;loaded up on maps -- though they seldom left the city limits -- and&lt;br /&gt;appointed himself navigator. It seemed to work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still, they both continued to walk a lot. My mother was a devout Catholic,&lt;br /&gt;and my father an equally devout agnostic, an arrangement that didn't seem to bother either of them through their 75 years of marriage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Yes, 75 years, and they were deeply in love the entire time.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He retired when he was 70, and nearly every morning for the next 20 years or so, he would walk with her the mile to St. Augustin's Church.&lt;br /&gt;She would walk down and sit in the front pew, and he would wait in the back until he saw which of the parish's two priests was on duty that morning. If it was the pastor, my father then would go out and take a 2-mile walk, meeting my mother at the end of the service and walking her home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If it was the assistant pastor, he'd take just a 1-mile walk and then head&lt;br /&gt;back to the church. He called the priests "Father Fast" and "Father Slow."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After he retired, my father almost always accompanied my mother whenever she drove anywhere, even if he had no reason to go along. If she were going to the beauty parlor, he'd sit in the car and read, or go take a stroll or, if it was summer, have her keep the engine running so he could listen to the Cubs game on the radio. In the evening, then, when I'd stop by, he'd explain: "The Cubs lost again. The millionaire on second base made a bad throw to the millionaire on first base, so the multimillionaire on third&lt;br /&gt;base scored."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If she were going to the grocery store, he would go along to carry the bags&lt;br /&gt;out -- and to make sure she loaded up on ice cream. As I said, he was always the navigator, and once, when he was 95 and she was 88 and still driving, he said to me, "Do you want to know the secret of a long life?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I guess so," I said, knowing it probably would be something bizarre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"No left turns," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What?" I asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"No left turns," he repeated. "Several years ago, your mother and I read an&lt;br /&gt;article that said most accidents that old people are in happen when they&lt;br /&gt;turn left in front of oncoming traffic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you get older, your eyesight worsens, and you can lose your depth&lt;br /&gt;perception, it said. So your mother and I decided never again to make a left turn."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What?" I said again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"No left turns," he said. "Think about it. Three rights are the same as a&lt;br /&gt;left, and that's a lot safer. So we always make three rights."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You're kidding!" I said, and I turned to my mother for support.&lt;br /&gt;"No," she said, "your father is right. We make three rights. It works."&lt;br /&gt;But then she added: "Except when your father loses count."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was driving at the time, and I almost drove off the road as I started&lt;br /&gt;laughing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Loses count?" I asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yes," my father admitted, "that sometimes happens. But it's not a problem. You just make seven rights, and you're okay again."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I couldn't resist. "Do you ever go for 11?" I asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"No," he said " If we miss it at seven, we just come home and call it a bad&lt;br /&gt;day. Besides, nothing in life is so important it can't be put off another&lt;br /&gt;day or another week."&lt;br /&gt;My mother was never in an accident, but one evening she handed me her car keys and said she had decided to quit driving. That was in 1999, when she was 90.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She lived four more years, until 2003. My father died the next year, at 102.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They both died in the bungalow they had moved into in 1937 and bought a few years later for $3,000. (Sixty years later, my brother and I paid $8,000 to have a shower put in the tiny bathroom -- the house had never had one. My father would have died then and there if he knew the shower cost nearly&lt;br /&gt;three times what he paid for the house.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He continued to walk daily -- he had me get him a treadmill when he was 101 because he was afraid he'd fall on the icy sidewalks but wanted to keep exercising -- and he was of sound mind and sound body until the moment he died.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One September afternoon in 2004, he and my son went with me when I had to give a talk in a neighboring town, and it was clear to all three of us that wearing out, though we had the usual wide-ranging conversation about&lt;br /&gt;politics and newspapers and things in the news.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few weeks earlier, he had told my son, "You know, Mike, the first hundred years are a lot easier than the second hundred." At one point in our drive that Saturday, he said, "You know, I'm probably not going to live much longer."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You're probably right," I said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Why would you say that?" He countered, somewhat irritated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Because you're 102 years old," I said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yes," he said, "you're right." He stayed in bed all the next day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That night, I suggested to my son and daughter that we sit up with him&lt;br /&gt;through the night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He appreciated it, he said, though at one point, apparently seeing us look&lt;br /&gt;gloomy, he said:&lt;br /&gt;"I would like to make an announcement. No one in this room is dead yet"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An hour or so later, he spoke his last words:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I want you to know," he said, clearly and lucidly, "that I am in no pain. I&lt;br /&gt;am very comfortable. And I have had as happy a life as anyone on this earth could ever have."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A short time later, he died.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I miss him a lot, and I think about him a lot. I've wondered now and then&lt;br /&gt;how it was that my family and I were so lucky that he lived so long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't figure out if it was because he walked through life, or because he&lt;br /&gt;quit taking left turns. "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you&lt;br /&gt;right. &lt;br /&gt;Forget about the one's who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason.&lt;br /&gt;If you get a chance, take it &amp; if it changes your life, let it. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13801763-2175997551417720985?l=agrasen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/feeds/2175997551417720985/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13801763&amp;postID=2175997551417720985' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/2175997551417720985'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/2175997551417720985'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/2011/02/no-left-turns-and-walk-walk-to-live.html' title='NO LEFT TURNS AND WALK, WALK TO LIVE LONG AND HEALTHY'/><author><name>SHER SINGH AGRAWAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14955014952419938340</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13801763.post-708213127800028742</id><published>2011-02-15T06:37:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-15T06:37:58.551-08:00</updated><title type='text'>LATEST HUMOUR - KHAN-GRESS PARTY OF INDIA</title><content type='html'>SHER AGRAWAL &lt;agrasen@gmail.com&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Latest Humor: The New Indian Movie on Corruption and Terrorism&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Mon, Feb 14, 2011 at 8:23 PM  &lt;br /&gt;Bcc: agrasen@gmail.com  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hero: Maunmohan Singh&lt;br /&gt;Heroine: Sonia Maino &lt;br /&gt;Introducing: Rahul Vinci and Spanish Girl friend Veronique&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Villain: A.

Sir Winston Churchill was, without doubt, one of the greatest men of the late 19th and 20th centuries. He was a brave young soldier, a brilliant journalist, an&lt;br /&gt;extraordinary politician and statesman, a great war leader and Prime Minister, to whom the Western world must be forever in debt.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Reading his essays shows that the man was a prophet in his own time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When he died on the 24th. of January 1965, at the grand old age of 90, after a lifetime of service to his country, Churchill was accorded a State funeral that equaled the burial ceremony of kings...&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;HERE IS HIS 1899 SPEECH :&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism (Islam) lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The effects are apparent in many countries - Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property which exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.  &lt;br /&gt;A degraded sensualism which deprives life of its grace and refinement, as well as, its dignity and sanctity.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The fact that in Mohammedan law, every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - Either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralysis the social  development of those who follow it. No stronger&lt;br /&gt;retrograde force exists in the world.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step! And, were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the&lt;br /&gt;strong arms of science, the science against which Islam had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome..."&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Sir Winston Churchill; (The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248-50)&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Churchill saw it coming 108 years ago...!&lt;br /&gt;= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Email Etiquette: If you find this article interesting &amp; would like to share it with your e-Friends, please feel free to do so.

The Gandhi dynasty had created a intimidating environment, even Supreme Court decreed in favor of Emergency trampling the rights of the people. Arresting the Hindu activists and leaders on false charges and keeping them for years in prisons is happening in India with little recourse. The present government even questioned the existence of  Lord Rama to pacify the Pope in Vatican. A foreign lady with no credentials, falsified documents, contempt for Hindu genius, hatred toward Hindu religion, stealth plans to convert the nation into a Christian country, determined to trample the Hindu institutions, and intention to taint the glory of the Vedic heritage is RULING the country, LOOTING the country, RAIDING the treasury, BUYING the political cronies and PROTECTING the criminals. &lt;br /&gt;            Dr. Swamy has courage and guts to face the monster – the corruption – that has spread it’s wings over Bharat. The monster has already poisoned the veins of many people in India. Before this poison spreads to the rest of the people, it time to have a head on collision with this monster.  All the children of Bharath should wake up, join the movement against corruption, and save Bharath from the corrupt politicians, and root out the secular constitution. &lt;br /&gt;            Courage is usually identifies with battlefield. In battlefield, you know the enemy, you studied the enemy, you spied on the enemy, you calculated their strength, you know their arsenal, and you deploy your army depending on the enemy’s strength and logistics.  You know how to defend and plan accordingly.  But the present enemy – the government – is unlike any other enemy. We cannot fathom this enemy’s strategy, it’s arsenal, it’s weapons, it’s strength and it’s army.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;            Dr. Subramanian Swamy has been working to find the enemies of Bharath who are stabbing and  suffocating the Bharath Mata, who are stashing away untold amounts of money in Swiss and other banks, and who are using the black money to silence the opposition. Dr. Swamy feels the agony, the anguish and the  misery of Bharat. He is more determined than ever that he wants to root out the corruption, to expose the nexus of Sonia Gandhi, Man Mohan Sing,  Pranab Mukherjee, A. Raja, Karunanidhi,  Ratan Tata, Radia, and many more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;            It is not easy to uncover the corruption and expose the enemies. Dr. Swamy has demonstrated over and over his brilliant mind in tackling the most difficult cases. His legal expertise, his knowledge about the constitution, his grasp of the departmental rules and regulations, his skill in diving deep into the case and  his cleverness in identifying the nexus of people. These are some of the rare qualities that would see the sunset of Sonia sleaze&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;            Sonia Gandhi and Man Mohan Singh are the enemies of Bharath Mata who are determined to sell, steal, stash,  and stock pile the nations wealth. They never revealed the facts, allowed the corruption to spread like a virus unknown before to detect, greased the palms of political leaders to remain with their party, bought the politicians to change the parties, wooed the business people to this ghost house of corruption,  relentlessly pursued to silence the opposition. The time has come for all the children of Bharat whether they live in India or abroad to join the movement to eradicate corruption, expose all the corrupt politicians and business, demand legal action to the end, charge them to be the traitors of Bharat, and publish all the stashed money and black money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;            Let all the children of Bharath who want to bring back the glory of Bharat Mata, restore the grandeur of Sanatana Dharma, reestablish to ethical compass that was the basis of our ancient civilization, and bring back the pride and dignity of Bharath,  should support the legal efforts of Dr. Swamy. It is his time. It is his time to succeed. It is his time to prevail. It is time for his legal brilliance to triumph. WE shall not fail. We shall not flag. He is not afraid to take up the cause and challenge the mighty government even at the expense of his life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;            Please read of the legal battles he is fighting. Every body should support his efforts to unravel the mystery of the magnitude of corruption. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jai Hind&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Global Hindu Heritage Foundation&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steering Committee&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;610-918-7111&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; __________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feb 12, 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a new and clean India: ‘I will implead Sonia Gandhi in the 2G case' -- Dr. Subramanian Swamy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;===============&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Sonia Reader&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;=============== &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Janata Party president Dr Subramanian&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;============================================&lt;br /&gt;"Just wait and see.

Businessman Shahid Balwa, who was arrested on Wednesday, was a promoter of Swan. Etisalat Dynamix Balwa, which purchased shares of Swan, is also the front company of Balwa. He also launched another company which reportedly gave a loan to a television company ran by Karunanidhi's family. This nexus and sequence of money passing hands is being established by the CBI&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'I will ensure that Raja goes to jail for 21 years'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sceptic may find this complex transaction difficult to prove but Swamy is oozing with confidence. He says, "I will not leave the case half-way. I will ensure that Raja goes to jail for 21 years."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He alleges that Raja gave that licence to Swan Telecom and as a result of this the Karunanidhi family firm got a loan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Swamy's main contention is that Raja changed 'the cut off date' in the process of allotting spectrum and helped Anil Ambani's Reliance which had a 9.97 percent stake in Swan and the Tata group, which eventually sold shares to Docomo and made profits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Swan has now been renamed as Etisalat DB and Unitech, which also got cheap spectrum, sold it to Telinor, which now operates in India under the name Uninor. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once Swamy got the above facts and related papers he took up the case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In November, 2008, Dr Swamy wrote to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and followed it up with four more letters seeking sanction to prosecute Raja.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the prime minister didn't take any decision, Swamy went to Supreme Court and the rest is history. Even advocate Prashant Bhushan filed another petition to create a monitoring mechanism to supervise CBI's investigation of the 2G case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Swamy is out on a mission to hit the UPA government&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Swami's worry is that Swan's shares have been sold to people with connections to Pakistan and Chinese investors, raising security concerns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Swamy has strong reservations about Balwa and his connections in Mumbai but he says, "I may disagree with Ratan Tata's judgment but I don't doubt his patriotism."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Swamy is an odd one out on a mission to hit the UPA government. The maverick's scheming activism is creating headlines these days. His motives are always difficult to grasp because he acts with vengeance against his political opponents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But there is no one like Dr Swami in Luyten's Delhi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He first shot to fame during and after the Emergency in 1975 when he became one of the founder members of the Janata Party under the leadership of Jayaprakash Narayan. He heads the almost-defunct party even now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has 12 years of experience teaching economics at Harvard University in the US. Even experts stop and take notice when he writes on the economy of China. He is familiar with Mandarin. He has studied the Gita and many other Hindu granthas and has written many books including Hindus Under Siege. He has been always supporter of the market economy and since last few years has been a supporter of Hindutva&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'You won't see me at a cocktail party or a new year bash'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He abhors today's politicians and is a rare political animal who is not afraid of the media. His political adversaries have every reason to be afraid of him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When he fell-out with former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalitha, she ordered his arrest in Chennai. But Swamy boarded a flight and once inside argued that aircraft comes under the central government's domain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His greatest strength is his grasp of the law and its bold interpretations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A very few in New Delhi can match his tenacity in taking on his enemies in a court of law. He is a rare public figure taking on Sonia Gandhi relentlessly. He is not a regular politician with a retinue of chamchas around him round the clock. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is a one-man party but he reads signals from the grassroots well and knows what pinches the common man. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He says, "The problem with these ancient politicians is that they think they are big if they go around with a big crowd, so 200 people should follow them all the time. I don't believe that. I am in the 21st century and my large network is on the internet/phone."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There is no part in India where I can't pick up the phone and ask what's going on in your town. You won't see me at a cocktail party or a new year bash."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His drive to carry on his mission has helped him&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Swamy is 72 but looks much younger and has been very bullish on India and its future. He says he left a job at Harvard to become part of the 'India story'. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He believes a glorious future lies ahead for India. He lives in a comfortable house in New Delhi's Nizamuddin Colony. Roxna, his soft-spoken lawyer wife, is his strength and carries his briefs to various courts. She works hard maintaining papers of cases Swamy wants to fight. She diligently files petition after petition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With a 40-year career behind him, Swamy knows what he is doing and talking. His talking, in fact, distinguishes him from other politicians. He is never restrained in expressing his views. Since he speaks only in extreme terms it affects his credibility in the long run but he will bombard you with the very same extreme arguments if you try to tell him so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He never tampers ideas before he speaks and he is just not afraid of his enemies or their might. His drive to carry on his mission has helped him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He can't be ignored because if you look closely he does not actually lose many legal battles. From the Islamic bank case to one concerning gold-plating of the Tirupati temple to the issue of Ram Sethu his activism brings the results he strives for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'You journalists are ignorant'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are scores of such issues where Dr Swamy has been ahead of all in raising it and taking it to its logical conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Swamy, in fact, is a complex politician carrying too many secrets in his long, chequered career. Once he was close to government in Libya and Iraq, at another time he was influential enough to get one-on-one meet with Premier Deng Xiopang in Beijing and even got Chinese government to open up Mansarovar for Hindu pilgrims. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 40 years he has been twice minister at the Centre and five times he has been elected to Parliament.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since the last ten years his target is Sonia Gandhi against whom he has filed a case of smuggling of Indian antiques. He also took up the issue of his foreign origin and the issue of a foreign-born person's eligibility to become prime minister.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Swamy has umpteen times made allegations that Sonia's real name is Antonia and her family background is not what she claims to be. He has spoken so many things against her but he has never been challenged.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His favourite line is: "You journalists are ignorant."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Only crazy people bring change'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He tells us, "There is no defamation law for a public person. I have won all the cases filed against me. Most people in political life are ignorant they don't know anything they just sit in drawing rooms and make guesses they go to cocktail parties and gossip when Jayalalitha filed hundreds of defamation cases against me, I came to the Supreme Court and read the law. The United States Supreme Court in 1964 has given a judgment that if a person in public life decides to sue for defamation then the onus is on him to prove that the charges levelled are false. Normally, if you are not in public life the defamer has to prove that charges are true. Here the burden is reversed. Recently, Karunanidhi issued me a notice I tore it up his notice in public before the cameras and threw it in dustbin."  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He adds, "The law protects me. This is in the public domain out of ignorance people keep giving opinions and discourage you. I speak bluntly. I get irritated to see people's ignorance. I don't speak diplomatically." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When asked, "Do you know people sometime say you are crazy?' Dr Swamy says, 'That's a fact! Only crazy people bring change. I don't want among the sane who are stooges of people in authority today. If that is sanity, I don't want that kind of sanity."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When rediff.com asked him, "Was there any pressure on you to not move forward in the 2G spectrum case?" Swamy's reply was astounding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He wants to protect the PM but wants to see Sonia implicated&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"See, there is a general impression amongst all crooks that if you offer Swamy money, he will take the money and still continue, so no use giving him money!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, giving a playful look, he says, "Since, I am Brahmin getting dakshina is my birthright.  If anyone gives me money I will take it. But I will not do their work. I do exactly what I think is right. I play a role of an ancient Brahmin. Today Brahmins are connected to birth. It's nonsense. It has nothing to do with birth. You have to have vidya (knowledge) and you have to have courage. You should not have any personal wealth. I don't have any personal wealth."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He adds, "Ask Roxna. She is constantly complaining that I don't care for money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She being a good Parsi keeps account of every penny spent. Anyway, I will not take any money for consideration. That's why in these 40 years nobody has charged me with anything."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Swamy's political operations and legal activism is too intertwined making it complex and cunning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the 2G spectrum case he wants to protect Prime Minister Singh but wants to see Sonia Gandhi implicated. He speaks ill of the Bhartiya Janata Party and its leaders but he enjoys backing of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'I am playing for removal of UPA'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When asked about his feelings for Dr Singh, he gave a political answer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I have said clearly that Manmohan Singh is like Bhishmacharya who watched Draupadi being disrobed. That was unforgivable. This man is also without a spine. But I will not do anything or remove him because a vacancy created will not be filled by the people of India but by Sonia Gandhi." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2004, Swamy went to court and even to then President A P J Abdul Kalam to prevent Sonia Gandhi from becoming prime minister.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is of the view that, "She herself can't become prime minister because of legal bar but she will make her son or someone else who will be worse than Dr Singh."  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He says, "I am playing for removal of UPA and in the process Dr Singh will also be removed but I won't be party to anything under which only Dr Singh gets removed."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When asked why he has a soft corner for Dr Singh, he says, "He is a man of integrity. He has personal integrity. He is not the man fit for this job. He has no political backing so he is totally dependent on Sonia Gandhi. You can't have throne of India occupied by a boneless wonder. No matter how good you are its not enough. You must be a person who is able to take risks and make decisions. A man should not look over someone's shoulder. From day one we know he is not an independent person. His background is bureaucratic. It's not political. I know him for so many years. In the present UPA system, I know of no gutsy, no decent or no political person who can be prime minister. They have to be a rubber stamp of Sonia Gandhi."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'You can't ask Sonia any question on Raja because she would never give that interview'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When asked what nailed Raja, Dr Swami says, "That press conference of January 10, 2008 when Raja allotted spectrum on first come, first serve basis. That was his unbecoming. If he had done it with little bit finesse he would have got away with it. It was so crude. He gave one hour for the companies to get demand drafts for Rs 1,650 crore. He gave advance information to those whom he wanted to give spectrum. So those people came with pre-dated cheques. I had a press release of that press conference. Some officers gave it to me."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Swamy claims that his case saw legal success because the Supreme Court could not ignore two things. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"One, why the prime minister did not reply my letter. And, two, he could not say yes or no about my plea to charge Raja for corruption. Obviously, he could not say yes so he kept quiet because he can't even say no."  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While ending the interview, he said, "Raja was assured by the Congress and the DMK that he will be protected. Their alliance won't break because both are partners in crime. But Raja was let down by Karunanidhi and Sonia Gandhi because Dr Singh showed individuality in arresting Raja."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, giving a mischievous look, he said, "You can't ask Sonia Gandhi any question on Raja because she would never give that interview."&lt;br /&gt;=======&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Swamy targets Sonia, Pranab but spares PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TNN, Feb 13, 2011, 04.05am IST&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NEW DELHI: Subramanian Swamy, who is petitioner in the spectrum scam case, has attacked finance minister Pranab Mukherjee for his alleged role in the scandal, while virtually giving a clean chit to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Swamy based his attack on Mukherjee on Attorney General G E Vahanvati's strong rebuttal on Friday of the spectrum case petitioner's charge that he helped former telecom minister A Raja defy law ministry's opinion that the department of telecom should discuss the issue of spectrum pricing in a Group of Ministers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The allegation against Vahanvati was based on a claim made by Raja in 2007 that he was advised by the Attorney General that there was no need to discuss it in the GoM. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Swamy said, "Since Mr Mukherjee has been an informal financial adviser to Ms Sonia Gandhi for decades, Mr Raja obviously felt confident to inform Dr Manmohan Singh that since Mr Mukherjee had given him "sanction' to go ahead, he does not have to listen to the Prime Minister of India.' &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Swamy's reprieve for the PM is par for the pattern in his intervention in the case.

He has been trying his best to raise the consciousness and pride of confused and uninformed citizens of India.  Hence, they see in him their beacon of unshakeable courage and irresistible determination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Swamy has been spearheading a national campaign against corruption in India.  His voice needs to be heard far and wide, and for a long time until the nation's wealth is fully restored to its people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Swamy has filed cases against A. Raja of the DMK and is also asking the Governor of Tamil Nadu to prosecute M.  Karunanidhi, Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last year, when he went into the Madras High Court to plead against the take over of the Chidambaram Natarajar Temple, he was attacked by a group of pro-LTTE lawyers inside the court premises.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometime back, his office in Madurai was ransacked by the supporters of  LTTE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the past there have been several attempts on the life of Dr. Swamy and some have gone un-reported.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following two attacks on Dr. Subramanian Swamy by the Congressmen in Rae Bareilly and Lucknow in April 2006 and the recent attack by the supporters of Mumbai Congress(I) President Mr Kripa Shankar Singh at the Patkar Hall premises on 8th December 2010 were not highlighted in the media.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since Dr. Swamy has earned the ill-will of all anti-national and anti-social elements, he may very possibly be on the hit list of such inimical forces.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a matter of great disgrace that anti-nationalists like Afzal Guru are shielded by the UPA government whereas patriots like Dr. Subramanian Swamy are subjected to harassment, physical assault and court cases.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is the Paramount duty of the Government of India to provide Z Plus security cover and protection (on an All–India basis and not in one State only) to this patriotic whistle blower Dr. Subramanian Swamy -  failing which the  Government of India will have to bear full responsibility for any failure in this regard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many a time it appears that the Central Government agencies do not alert the State Government on time about Dr. Swamy’s visit to the State and many a time there is no security provided as was the case on his recent visits to Ahmedabad on 29th December 2010, Nagpur on 16th January 2011, Indore on 21st and 22nd January 2011; this is very shocking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the same time, we urge all friends and colleagues to write to the Prime Minister’s office requesting them to provide full security to Dr. Swamy.  You can email to the Prime Minister at manmohan@sansad.ic.in/pmosb@pmo.nic.in or call him on 91-11-23012312.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If not inconvenient, please let the undersigned know by email or phone that you have done so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Narain Kataria&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Copy to:  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(i) Dr. Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister of India (By Air Mail) and email&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(ii)  Shri L.K,Advaniji, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha (By Air Mail) and email, for necessary action&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(iii) Shri P .

I would like to tell you about its birth and early development. It is the child of a well-known Jain family which owned a lot of real estate in the walled city Shahjehanabad — including a large mansion along the Mughal wall in Daryaganj facing the house of the Congress leader M A Ansari. The patriarch of the family Rai Bahadur Lala Sultan Singh Jain had one son Raghubir Singh who was a nationalist and wanted to raise children with patriotic ideas. My father Sobha Singh was a friend of Sultan Singh. So he persuaded my father to lend a hand in his venture and made him president of the governing body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Modern School was truly modern in every sense. It was the first co-educational school in the city with as many women teachers as men. The first principal was a Bengali Christian Kamla Bose. She brought two of her nieces to join the staff. It started off with about 30 students, three of them were girls — one Kaval Malik was later to be my wife. We were the first modernite couple. Besides the normal curricula Modern School also introduced painting (with the eminent Bengali artist Sarda Ukil), music, carpentry, scouting and military drill under an English sergeant. At the same time Raghubir Singh invited national leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore and Sarojini Naidu to address the students. Altogether it was way ahead of the times which the older generation found unacceptable. One of them was my grandfather Sujan Singh after whom Sujan Singh Park is named. He preferred living in Punjab where he owned a lot of land and factories. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He happened to be in Delhi on the third or fourth anniversary of the school’s founders day celebrations. My father took him along to see how his grandsons were doing. He was shocked to see so many women teachers. He called us brothers ‘rann mureed’ — disciples of low class women. He was more enraged to see us playing ragas on the Esraj. Back home he berated my father: “You want your sons to become ‘mirasi’ beggars playing Sarandas? he asked. In any event he called his grandsons ‘bharooas’ —pimps, no doubt affectionately.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13801763-3334673747977247404?l=agrasen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/feeds/3334673747977247404/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13801763&amp;postID=3334673747977247404' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/3334673747977247404'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/3334673747977247404'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/2011/02/khushwant-singh-on-modern-school-in-new.html' title='khushwant singh on modern school in new delhi'/><author><name>SHER SINGH AGRAWAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14955014952419938340</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13801763.post-7170141020318524830</id><published>2011-02-12T05:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-12T05:04:56.331-08:00</updated><title type='text'>YOUR MEDICINE CHEST IN INDIAN SPICES</title><content type='html'>SHER AGRAWAL &lt;agrasen@gmail.com&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Fwd: INDIAN SPICES AND ITS BENEFITS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;vijay ashar &lt;ammasuta@gmail.com&gt;  Fri, Feb 11, 2011 at 11:08 PM  &lt;br /&gt;To: kaushik Macherla &lt;kmacherla@gmail.com&gt;, mowhunn@gmail.com &lt;br /&gt;Cc: "Dr. Mukul Asher" &lt;mukul.asher@gmail.com&gt;, agrasen@gmail.com  &lt;br /&gt;I got this fwd from my brother in S'pore.

As I was waiting for my food a guy came with a black bag and plunked it down on the cash register counter.  The cashier and the delivery guy exchanged a glance and the guy left.  I figured this might be my food as it was about the right size (a bit smaller than my fist) so I walked over with a questioning look.  He looked at me like I was crazy; OK, not my dish.  That’s fine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cashier summons another guy over who gives him a quizzical look - he clearly has no clue what it is either.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I kid you not the cashier says one word only - it sounded to me like: “Pooh”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This doesn’t help quizzical guy, the quizzical look remains, if anything more intense, the look on my face is likely somewhere between interest and revulsion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the cashier repeats it, louder with emphasis (some shoulder movement and a gesture with his  hand): “POOH”…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Neither I nor quizzical guy are any more likely to grab it from the  counter than we were before.  At that moment a young guy darted out from behind another counter, grabbed the bag and ran back to what I assume was the kitchen.  Quizzical guy and I haven’t moved a muscle…  For good measure, as if it will explain everything the cashier says it one more time:  ”pooh”.  With a gesture to the door the young guy went through.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That’s enough for quizzical guy, he leaves without saying a word.  I just continue waiting for my food, although with a bit more apprehension than before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The food I got was Panier Machurain (my spelling is wrong I’m sure), it was awesome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Posted on February 10, 2011 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cost of things&lt;br /&gt;I’ve been speaking about how some things are cheap an others not so much so I thought I’d share the prices of some things in USD to give some perspective:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having a shirt ironed = $0.08 each&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hiring a driver = $170 / month&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A year of cable (100 channels 30 or so English including HBO) = $80&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2006 Suzuki swift (~30K miles) = $7000&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 pound of ground chicken at hypermarket = $4&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16 ounces (small jar) of Skippy peanut-butter = $5&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A light lunch (a chicken puff and a can of soda) = $0.70&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Groceries for the week for us = ~$40-$50&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;750ml of Jack Daniels = ~$60 (yikes!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;750ml of domestic Indian whiskey = ~ $5-$10&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gas/fuel/petrol = $5.30/gallon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Posted on February 8, 2011 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m a regular&lt;br /&gt;Every day between 8 and 9 am I leave for work.  As I mentioned in a previous post I walk up to the tea stand to catch an autorickshaw.  Things have gotten 1 step better now as most days I don’t even have to announce my destination or negotiate a price.  They all know me, know about what I’m going to pay and about where I’m going.  They typically gesture me into one yellow ride or another (I guess they have sorted out who my driver will be today before I got there) then off we go without a word spoken.  I only have to speak to indicate my exact drop off location.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One driver in particular has driven me 5 or so times now and he knows exactly where to drop me off.  If he is there the whole thing can be done without a word being spoken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ve been here a month and I am now a regular.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Posted on January 30, 2011 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Birthday party&lt;br /&gt;I attended a Birthday party today.  It was great fun, the big difference between this Indian party and a US event was the fact that in India the cake came first.  Before lunch and before gifts came the cake cutting and eating.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Loved it!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the children at the party (with the exception of ours) were really well behaved despite the sugary snack without a meal to moderate it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many thanks to Ramya and her family for having us at her daughters birthday party.  It was a very nice time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Posted on January 29, 2011 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Small difference&lt;br /&gt;In India - sometimes instead of a yellow traffic light there is a digital countdown telling you when the light will change.  This allows people to have a better idea if they should push through the intersection on “yellow” and when to restart their engines after waiting at a red.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This isn’t universal however - in many places they have the traditional yellow light instead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Posted on January 27, 2011 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Food&lt;br /&gt;Food… ahhh food.  Love it.  I’ve had the fortune of being exposed to many different takes on the sustenance we all must have.  Growing up my Mother cooked an eclectic style with one thing in common - the ingredients were always on sale.  My families roots are generally Germanic and Ukrainian, but we’ve melted into North American style of eating - which frankly is not at all in opposition to Germanic traditions.  I’ve also had the benefit of living in a multicultural city like Ottawa (small yes - but multicultural none the less) so I was exposed to a lot of other types of foods often by native eaters (so to speak).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So yeah, I love good food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With that as background I’m sure you can understand how much I was looking forward to eating all the great foods in India.  Bangalore is a great city because the economic boom has attracted people and their foods from all over India, all in one place.  So here is the low down on food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Food Safety:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Safety first right?  My co-worker Sevak visited a couple weeks ago and in addition to being a great public speaker and knowledgeable in software development he has a degree in bio-physics.  Meaning he knows a bit about food and digestion.  He let me know that the safest meat to eat is chicken, when cooked properly there is very little chance it will make you ill - it’s also very easy to cook properly.  The biggest risk of bacterial infection comes from ground red meats - beef and lamb.  Veggies and grains especially cooked are pretty much always safe to eat.  Following those rules has kept me from picking up any food borne illnesses (so far.  Knock on wood).  I will be branching out more and more, I’m here for a year and I don’t like chicken THAT much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tap water is NOT drinkable.  I also brush my teeth with bottled water and keep my lips sealed in the shower although Mieu thinks I’m being silly.  We have a home filter (a very nice plug in operation) and we’ve been drinking water from it.  So far that has been fine.  At first we drank only bottled water (for a few days), then we started boiling the filtered water.  After not getting sick there we started drinking the filtered water and it has been fine.  On a locals advice we also boiled the milk at first - the results of that can be… ummm… unpleasant.  So we put the kibosh on that operation.  Also seems fine.  The problem was putting the hot milk in the fridge for later and finding yogurt.  I actually don’t like the taste of milk here so I haven’t been drinking it at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yummy street food&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Street food can be a greasy mess, but it can also be absolutely delicious.  A meals worth of food is cheap ($0.50 or so).  I tend to walk up and watch the vendor for a minute just to check out their health standards.  Does the guy that handles money touch food?  Does the guy touching raw meat also do the final prep?  Are there dogs or cats a little too involved in the process?  Simple observations like these are important, just because a place is small (or is a cart) doesn’t mean that the food is unsafe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sit down restaurants&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a ton of casual dinning options.  You can easily have a good sit down mean for $5, but the sky is the limit if you go to some of the fancier places.  I’ve eaten at a couple sit down places that specialize in American food, and although the places were nice I found that they miss the mark ever so slightly on the American food front.  Pizza hut is a casual dinning restaurant here and although the pizza was good it was also different.  Indian sit down places I have found to be universally great (knock on wood again).  Amazing food with helpful and polite staff.  Sometimes there is a language barrier, but in those cases I just go with the point and hope method.  It hasn’t let me down yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Home cooking&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First you’ve gotta find a good source of ingredients.  A place like “star bazaar” or “food bazaar” is great for staples, fruits and veggies.  Very reasonable prices (although foreign stuff is surprisingly expensive).  Indian food has been a staple of ours for a while so we figured Mieu would have no trouble churning out great meals.  The ingredients are different however, and it’s taken Mieu a bit of practice to get her cooking mojo back.  For example everything she has made with tomato has come out not as well as it used to in the US.  Not sure if we’re buying the wrong tomato’s?  The one big thing missing is cheese.  It’s hard to find good cheese.  Just today we finally found a “SPAR Hypermarket”.  I guess the name supermarket was already taken by the neighborhood shops that sell veggies, grains AND dairy.  Anyway the Hypermarket was great.  It had a HUGE cheese selection as well as a great selection of meats, and western items.  It’s a happy day, we’re going to try Lasagna again (last time it came out smelling like fish - there was no fish in it).  We intend to use western prepackaged tomato sauce rather than raw tomatoes which should help.  Fingers crossed!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite the horror stories you see on western TV about food and drink from the streets, if you pick carefully things are fine.  Fresh cane juice or fresh grape juice is really amazing and I’ll miss it when we leave. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Posted on January 25, 2011 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Money and Bank Accounts&lt;br /&gt;Since I’m hoping other expats who travel to India might be able to use this blog as a guide I thought I’d write a mundane entry on the topic of money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First off, you need to have your Foreigner Registration form to open the account, so don’t count on getting a bank account until you’ve completed your registration - See my other post about that!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you have that form you need to find a bank that offers an expat account.  You will want to avoid accounts for Indian nationals as they are harder to get and offer no additional benefit over an Expat account.  The only things I needed for my account were:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•Passport (original)&lt;br /&gt;•Foreigner Registration (original)&lt;br /&gt;•My US drivers license (or other government issued document showing your foreign address - they were perplexed that my passport didn’t include this)&lt;br /&gt;•A passport sized photo of myself (needed for EVERYTHING - bring lots of copies, I’ve probably burned through 10 so far)&lt;br /&gt;Opening the account itself was easy.  Also Bank service in India is very good - when a couple more documents needed to be signed the fellow from the bank actually came to my workplace so I could sign them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All my signatures where examined (by an “expert” no less) to verify the authenticity and a few days after I signed the last document the account was open.  Nothing happens quickly in India so leave plenty of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next step will be an International transfer to fund the account - which also takes 7 or so days, but this time on the US side.  I found that’s it’s actually quite costly and most US institutions want you to show up in person to perform the transfer (I assume to prevent fraud) - oh oh I didn’t think of that before I left.  Fortunately I found E-Trade has no such limitation which makes sense since they have no physical branches.  Also international transfers to India are not cheap - at the time of writing E-Trade charges $25!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I have to transfer my savings to E-Trade so I can make one bulk transfer vs. many small ones.  Then transfer to my Indian account.  This whole process will take 2 weeks!!!  Fortunately my ATM card (bank card, cash card) from the US works fine in India.  So I’m not short of spending cash in the mean time, but I can’t buy a car to get around with until the money comes over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moral of the story - bring enough cash with you to live on for a while and having an ATM card is a must to get extra spending cash.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13801763-7438501809236575519?l=agrasen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/feeds/7438501809236575519/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13801763&amp;postID=7438501809236575519' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/7438501809236575519'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/7438501809236575519'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/2011/02/foreigners-blog-living-in-india-for.html' title='A FOREIGNER&apos;S BLOG LIVING IN INDIA FOR A YEAR'/><author><name>SHER SINGH AGRAWAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14955014952419938340</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13801763.post-6439371366688522203</id><published>2011-02-11T16:10:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-11T16:11:14.027-08:00</updated><title type='text'>ZAKIR NAIK'S FRAUD EXPOSED</title><content type='html'>SHER AGRAWAL &lt;agrasen@gmail.com&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;[proudHindu] Dr Zakir Naik's Fraud Exposed in Misusing Vedic Texts&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;srinandan@aol.com &lt;srinandan@aol.com&gt;  Thu, Feb 10, 2011 at 10:04 PM  &lt;br /&gt;Reply-To: proudHindu@yahoogroups.com &lt;br /&gt;To: proudhindu@yahoogroups.com  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lot of people have by now heard of Dr. Zakir Naik, and how he is working to convince as many people as possible by his arguments, or his use of his translations of Vedic texts, to become Muslims. And those who are not educated in their own culture, such as simple minded Hindus who have not really studied their own texts, become enamored by what he says. However, those who knowledgeable of those Vedic texts that Naik seems to use so well, they become frustrated that so many people take his mistranslations seriously. And that is what they are, they are often ridiculous mistranslations of Vedic texts used in a way to say Allah or Mohammed was predicted in the Vedic literature, or worse, that Kalki is actually Mohammed, so all Hindus should give up their faith and simply become Muslims. But you have to be educated to discern his frequent untruths to perceive how cunning he is and also how stupid he is in the way he misuses the Vedic texts to trick Hindus. But there is a reason for this, and apparently he is not as smart as he wants people to think he is, as explained below:&lt;br /&gt;    Hari Om,&lt;br /&gt;    Stephen Knapp &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Dr Zakir Naik's Fraud Exposed in Misusing Vedic Texts&lt;br /&gt;by Agniveer&lt;br /&gt;January 2010&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I have always been critical of his approach and conclusions, I always admired Dr Zakir Naik's sincerity and loyalty to Muslims. I was impressed by his gigantic efforts in studying thousands of pages of scriptures and selecting verses that could be used to derive whatever crazy interpretations he has derived to prove Muhammad in all world scriptures. I always used to wonder how he could gain all the time and energy to do so despite such a busy schedule of lecturing world around!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But suddenly I came across a book "Muhammad in World Scriptures" by Maulana Abdul Haque Vidyarthi written in 1936. And I was shocked to find that Dr Zakir Naik has done NOTHING MORE THAN simply copying-pasting from this book, mostly word-to-word and cooked up his own 'original' research which he uses to claim that he is an expert in 'Comparative Religion'. This is blatant plagiarization! And that too from a source that his followers consider worse than Kafirs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So all Dr Zakir Naik has done is copying from works of another person, memorizing those and claiming all the fame for himself! And he did this so blindly that he did not bother even see the background of the original writer or how he has backstabbed his followers in the process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because Maulana Adbul Haque Vidyarthi was not an ordinary Muslim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On contrary, he belonged to a cult which almost the entire Muslim world, and especially the sects which believe in ideology of Dr Zakir Naik considers as non-Muslim. They are in fact banned in Pakistan and many other countries. Ask any Muslim scholar, and he would start hurling abuses on them for disgracing Islam and Muhammad.&lt;br /&gt;Yes, I am referring to the Ahmadiyya or Qadiyani cult. Maulana Abdul Haque Vidyarthi was a disciple of its founder, Mirza Ghulam Ahmed who is considered worse than a Kafir by all Muslims who are fan of Dr Zakir Naik.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reasons why Muslims hate Ahmadiyyas and refuse to consider them as Muslims are because they hold certain beliefs that no Muslim and follower of Dr Zakir Naik would dare to agree. Some are as follows:&lt;br /&gt;a. Ahmadiyyas believe that Mirza Ghulam Ahmed was a Prophet or Messenger, and this is 'shirk' - unpardonable sin as per Muslims&lt;br /&gt;b. Ahmadiyyas believe that Mirza Ghulam Ahmed continued to receive new revelations&lt;br /&gt;c. Ahmadiyyas believe Mirza Ghulam Ahmed to be a Messiah&lt;br /&gt;d. Ahmadiyyas believe that Ram, Krishna, Buddha, Ashoka and Guru Nanak were also Prophets&lt;br /&gt;e. Ahmadiyyas believe that Kalki Avatar would also be the final Prophet&lt;br /&gt;and most importantly, the founder of Ahmadiyya cult had hurled abuses and even cursed to Hell those who refused to believe in his prophethood!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The concept of Avatar is a 'shirk' as per Islam. All Islamic Madarsa teach books of Maulvi Md Ismail which specifically states that anyone believing in Avatars or further Prophets or Avatars as Prophets is doing 'shirk'.&lt;br /&gt;Dr Zakir Naik knows all this - that is why in FAQ on Hinduism, he refused to accept that Vedas can be revelations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But he forgot that the material he has used to write other articles are directly lifted from Maulana Abdul Haque's writings who agrees that Vedas are revelations. Thus proving Prophet in Vedas or Bhavishya Puran is fine with Ahmadiyyas because that is how they justify prophethood of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad also.&lt;br /&gt;But for all other Muslims, on whose faith popularity of Dr Zakir Naik rests, this is 'shirk'.&lt;br /&gt;While these writings do not affect Hindus or even Buddhists, Christians etc much, they definitely backstab a devout Muslim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In summary, Dr Zakir Naik is guilty of :&lt;br /&gt;a. Copying directly, even word to word, from works of Maulana Abdul Haque Vidyarthi, an Ahmadiyya without even quoting his references&lt;br /&gt;b. Using his own name instead to falsely proclaim that he is expert on comparative religion&lt;br /&gt;c. Cheating with other Muslims who consider Ahmadiyya and their beliefs to be worse than those of Kafirs&lt;br /&gt;d. Backstabbing his blind followers who quote his works without realizing that Dr Zakir Naik has made them a sacrificial goat at mercy of Qadianis/ Ahmadiyyas.&lt;br /&gt;e. Trying to prove Vedas and Puran contain revelations of Muhammad but also refusing to clear admit Vedas as revelations. Thus he has deliberately not made clear whether in reality Dr Zakir Naik is a Qadiyani or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems obvious that Dr Zakir Naik is actually a Qadiyani/Ahmadiyya in disguise trying to fool common Muslims. But why does he need to put this disguise? is it because Ahmadiyyas are persecuted in all Muslim countries? Or is it that he is a spy with some other hidden agenda. Or perhaps, the way he claims to have discovered new researches in Quran that even Allah, Muhammad, Ali et al could not discover, he is laying foundation of his own Prophethood!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only Dr Zakir Naik knows what is the real truth and what is his true mission. But his backstabbing has left his blind followers nowhere. Either they will have to admit to Ahmadiyya beliefs, which is the complete foundation of his writings and 'research' or regret their faith in Dr Zakir Naik being a Muslim.&lt;br /&gt;And as per Islamic Criminal Law, that Dr Zakir Naik is such a great fan of, he himself can decide what should be the most appropriate punishment for him. Sharia says that a thief's hands should be chopped off. Hadiths say that one who deserts his faith or community should be killed. This is time to test how sincere are Dr Zakir Naik and Muslims who have followed him so far, to the teachings of their own divine texts &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;__._,_.___&lt;br /&gt;Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post | Start a New Topic &lt;br /&gt;Messages in this topic (1) &lt;br /&gt;Recent Activity: &lt;br /&gt;Visit Your Group &lt;br /&gt;MARKETPLACE&lt;br /&gt;Find useful articles and helpful tips on living with Fibromyalgia.

Clever tricks are employed to protect what we cherish.  We do all this because our material possessions hold great importance for us.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Just as importantly we must safeguard our greatest valuables:  our morals and ethics.  Take precautions to protect these from pickpockets, thieves and robbers.  Do not allow a permissive society and popular culture to distort your views and convince you that everyone has the right to do anything and everything.  Popular TV shows, movie and rock stars and famous athletes should not be the measuring stick by which we gauge what is permissible and what is prohibited.  Let's face it: nothing much is prohibited these days.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;There is a saying:  If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.  Stand up for your values, beliefs, ethics and morals.  This does not mean becoming judgmental and carrying a halo around your head.  It means that you take a conscious decision to live righteously.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;What is the difference between us living in the 21st century and those who lived in the 17th century?  Outwardly much has changed and evolved.  Internally we are the same, and the laws of God are the same.  None of this has changed.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Every individual needs support in order to remain balanced.   Do not be ashamed to take the support of basic morals, ethics and old-fashioned values.  These are your most precious valuables.  Safeguard them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours,&lt;br /&gt;Didi Ji&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Song of the Week: Hare Ram Sankeertan&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last weekend, Radha Madhav Society had a wonderful 12 hour long continous chanting of Hare Ram Sankeertan in various tunes. Over 60 people joined the chanting, several of them for the entire 12 hours, including some kids. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listen to one of those tunes&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Audio lecture: "Who am I?"  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lecture in English titled "Who Am I?" by Siddheshvari Devi Ji has been posted on our website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Click here to listen to the lecture and find out the answer to the very basic question that has bothered mankind for a very long time.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do we want happiness?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It may seem that everyone in this world desires something different. But if you look at it closely, you will realize that everyone wants just one thing - happiness. Why is it that whether it be a learned scholar or an illiterate, a child or an elderly, man or woman, that everyone wants just happiness? And that too without being told by anyone to do so. There must be a scientific secret behind this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Click here to find the reason for this desire in everyone.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Join Our Mailing List or Update Your Areas of Interest! &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Forward email&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This email was sent to agrasen@gmail.com by secretary@radhamadhavsociety.org |   &lt;br /&gt;Update Profile/Email Address | Instant removal with SafeUnsubscribe™ | Privacy Policy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Radha Madhav Society | P.O.

He is right, no body can touch him because he is not corrupt. But more importantly, he is not afraid.   India needs Kshatriyas, those who are willing to die, like our freedom fighters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q&amp;A: Subramanian Swamy, Janata Party chief&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saubhadra Chatterji / New Delhi Nov 21, 2010, 00:36&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Janata Party chief and former law minister Subramanian Swamy talks to Saubhadra Chatterji about life and politics&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: Before coming to the current 2G issue, I want to ask you an existential question. What prompts you to knock the doors of courts as a crusader?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: People love to play safe, but in my case I don’t need to play safe. I am in a position where I already have what I wanted. I have been full professor at the Harvard University. I was a professor at IIT, probably the youngest there. Even today I can get a professor’s job anywhere in the world. People generally avoid controversy as they are afraid that they may be denied a position. I have been brought up with the philosophy — it may sound old-fashioned — that it is your karma that gives you rewards. I have been a Member of Parliament five times. I have been elected from Mumbai, Uttar Pradesh and of course Tamil Nadu. Nobody believes how this can happen when I don’t have a godfather. I don’t have any shortage of money with my earnings and inheritance. So, I have elbow room for this kind of mission. Fighting injustice has always been a strong instinct in me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: But your crusades seem to be only against the Congress party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: Well, I was not cruel when Rajiv (Gandhi) was there. The whole country was cruel to him. I was with him at that time. I was with PV Narasimha Rao who was treated very badly by Sonia Gandhi. And I am still very soft on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Even the Supreme Court noted that I have a high opinion about the prime minister. But unfortunately, the Congress today has become a crass money-grabbing entity. So, I have to take a stand. The Congress — not the prime minister but Sonia Gandhi — is trying to target the opposition. She is telling the media not to publish anything I say. I have been targeted by her. I have to fight back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: But these efforts have yielded no political dividend for you in the past few years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: I don’t care. People may seek rewards but I don’t need them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: You have not been elected to Parliament even once after 1999.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: I was in Parliament for five terms. I did not contest the last time. In the previous election, it was the electronic voting machine which defeated me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: What prompted you to fight the case against A Raja?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: It was monumental corruption. Nobody else was doing it. The opposition may try to take credit now. It may have written a few letters but didn’t do anything to take the matter to its logical end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My opponents’ problem is that they can’t say anything against me. They can’t say I am illiterate. They can’t say I am corrupt and dishonest. So, they have to say nobody pays any attention to Subramanian Swamy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Sonia Gandhi dare not file a case against me.As far as Raja case is concerned, I don’t need sanction any more. The prosecution can go ahead. The issue is why did the prime minister take such a long time? Why did he not decide immediately? My question is whether there is any mala fide intention in his delay. But I don’t want him to resign because everyone knows he doesn’t exercise full power. He has to take sanctions from Sonia Gandhi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: Do you think the prime minister is a victim of coalition compulsions?&lt;br /&gt;Well, I was also a minister of a coalition government which was supported by Rajiv Gandhi. But we didn’t budge under pressure. My point is, coalition compulsion cannot be an excuse. Vajpayee used that as an excuse for not doing anything on Hindutva. On fundamentals, you have to take a stand or get out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: Your state will be going for elections in a few months. Do you see the 2G scam becoming a major political issue?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: I did the same thing against Jayalalithaa too. It paid rich dividend. I entered Tamil Nadu politics in the bastion of Dravidianism in Madurai. Although I am a Brahmin, I nearly defeated the DMK candidate in Madurai. Jayalalithaa’s problem is that she is not credible on corruption. But if she and I join hands and she concentrates on the organisational aspects, I on the campaign against corruption and go to the public saying we will root out corruption, that will be well-received.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: But can corruption really be a determining factor in the Tamil Nadu elections?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: It has been. When MGR was there, when JP was there, corruption became a political issue. But people want confidence that you are not doing it only for political purpose, that you are an honest man. People have started believing I am against corruption, I am honest, and most importantly, I can do something about corruption.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: What will be your party’s strategy in the elections?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A:I believe if I can win two or three seats in the Assembly, it will be taken as the dawn of a new era. But if Jayalalithaa is ready for an alliance…but she can’t be ready because she has got a friend called Sasikala. But if Jayalalithaa and I can join hands, we can easily get a majority.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: The Congress managers believe the Congress party is kingmaker in Tamil Nadu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: The Congress may claim anything. Let them stand alone and show they are the kingmakers. Anyway, my plan is to put up candidates on a limited number of seats, if the alliance doesn’t take place. Madurai is my base and puts me in direct confrontation with M K Alagiri. But don’t worry, even in the past I have defeated him. I am now looking for an entry in the Tamil Nadu Assembly. I did it once in 1996 and got one MLA. After that I went for an alliance with Jayalalithaa, but eventually we broke up. Then I got busy with academics. But now I am fully back in politics. So, my aim is to get two or three MLAs of my party elected. But if she wants an alliance, I will be ready, because despite all her minuses I like her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: So you are confident that this 2G scam will be a blow for DMK in the next election.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: Oh yes, no doubt this will be a blow for both DMK and Sonia Gandhi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.business-standard.com/results/news/bqab-subramanian-swamy-janata-party-chief/415611/ &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13801763-215829137265468262?l=agrasen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/feeds/215829137265468262/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13801763&amp;postID=215829137265468262' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/215829137265468262'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/215829137265468262'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/2011/02/hard-hitting-interview-with-dr-swamy.html' title='HARD HITTING INTERVIEW WITH DR.

The BJP asked the Congress government in Rajasthan to sack Mr. Khan. Today, he has resigned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Khan has tried to say that his remarks were misunderstood. "I don't know why all this confusion is being spread. I have only praised Sonia Gandhi, Indira Gandhi and the President."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The BJP said Mr. Khan's comments were offensive on two counts.  "The Minister's remarks are a reflection of the sycophantic culture of the Congress party. But these remarks that denigrate the country's President can't be tolerated," said Arun Chaturvedi, BJP President, Rajasthan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It wasn't just the opposition that was outraged. The Congress High Command in Delhi reportedly ordered Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot to ensure Mr. Khan found his way out of the government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pratibha Patil was the Governor of Rajasthan when she was chosen by the Congress to be the country's President in July 2007. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read more at: http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/fired-for-remarks-on-president-cleaning-indiras-dishes-84552?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+NdtvNews-TopStories+%28NDTV+News+-+Top+Stories%29&amp;cp&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13801763-1907673791060998701?l=agrasen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/feeds/1907673791060998701/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13801763&amp;postID=1907673791060998701' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/1907673791060998701'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/1907673791060998701'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/2011/02/fired-for-remarks-president-cleaned.html' title='FIRED FOR REMARKS PRESIDENT CLEANED INDIRA&apos;S DISHES'/><author><name>SHER SINGH AGRAWAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14955014952419938340</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13801763.post-6036190987588139292</id><published>2011-02-09T06:15:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-09T06:16:09.624-08:00</updated><title type='text'>PLUNDER OF INDIA BY ONE AND ALL HIGH UPS</title><content type='html'>SHER AGRAWAL &lt;agrasen@gmail.com&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Fw: MUST WATCH video on corruption in India&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Bharat J.

Manoj Dhupelia &lt;br /&gt;2. Rupal Dhupelia &lt;br /&gt;3. Mohan Dhupelia &lt;br /&gt;4. Hasmukh Gandhi &lt;br /&gt;5. Chintan Gandhi &lt;br /&gt;6. Dilip Mehta &lt;br /&gt;7.

Raj Foundation &lt;br /&gt;14. Urvashi Foundation &lt;br /&gt;15. Ambrunova Trust &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Headlines Today claims the co-owners of Kochi IPl are on the list and the government agencies are investigating the details and the source of their black money. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tehelka, meanwhile, has claimed that it has not made public the details of the fifteen as it has approached each of them and is yet to get their response. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Germany had officially handed over this list to the Indian Government on March 18, 2009. This means it is almost two years since the Indian Government had information about the names and bank account details of these eighteen Indians. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The black money list has been a subject of suspense and political debate with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and finance minister Pranab Mukherjee stating that this list cannot be disclosed to the Indian people and the opposition parties demanding that the government divulge all the details. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The matter even attracted some strong comments from the Supreme Court. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;__._,_.___&lt;br /&gt;Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post | Start a New Topic &lt;br /&gt;Messages in this topic (1) &lt;br /&gt;Recent Activity: &lt;br /&gt;Visit Your Group &lt;br /&gt;Disclaimer: Opinions expressed in this group are the complete responsibility of the writer.

DO NOTHING&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the majority of cases of urge incontinence are idiopathic, that is, they have no known cause, even after extensive testing, spare yourself the health risks of invasive tests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;STEP 1. COLLECT INFORMATION&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is estimated that 34 million Americans deal with overactive bladder, defined as an urgent and frequent need to urinate, or urinating more than 10 times in 24 hours. Most are older than 40, and one-third to one-half are men.&lt;br /&gt;Urge incontinence comes on so quickly and so powerfully that there is no time to get to a toilet, even if you are standing right next to one! For some women, even the thought or sight of a toilet causes leakage.&lt;br /&gt;There are many causes of urge incontinence. Invasive diagnostic tests requiring catheterizations are best refused, however, as the results are often inconclusive. In general - unless there is a known cause such as an enlarged prostate, a bladder infection, vaginal yeast overgrowth, interstitial cystitis, fibromyalgia, or multiple sclerosis - urge incontinence/overactive bladder is thought to be caused by abnormal nerve signals to the bladder, which initiate spastic muscle contractions and an often uncontrollable need to urinate, even when the bladder is not full. &lt;br /&gt;A bladder diary lists the times of day you urinate (including leaks), the amount of urine you void, what you drink and eat and when, and medicines you took. Over a period of a week or two, patterns emerge that can help you retrain your bladder.&lt;br /&gt;"About 30% of women [with overactive bladders] get better simply by understanding what's happening and thinking about it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;STEP 2. ENGAGE THE ENERGY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A powerful visualization coupled with a physical trigger can put you in control of your bladder, fast. Choose an image, visualize it repeatedly, then use it to help prevent leaks and urgency. If you visualize for even two minutes a day, you will get results faster than if you take drugs. If you use the physical trigger while you visualize, eventually it, alone, will be enough to control your urge incontinence, you won't need the visualization any more. Sitting alone, in a tranquil environment (a bathtub is fine), close your eyes and imagine vividly, using all your senses: see the scene, taste it, smell it, feel its texture, listen to it. As in a dream, you can create whatever you want. Take many quiet sessions to make your visualization real; don't try to do it all at once. Create your own visualization or try one of these. &lt;br /&gt;Visualize the nerve message between your bladder and your brain as a stream of water; in your imagination, install dams and locks to slow it down. When you visualize, squeeze your fist in a slow rhythm. &lt;br /&gt;Visualize the nerve pathway as a road; set up gates or toll booths all along it, starting at the bladder and working your way up to the brain. When you visualize this, gently bite your lower lip. &lt;br /&gt;Imagine a large, strong hand gently pushing up between your legs and comforting you. When you do so, smile. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Homeopathic remedies for urge incontinence include: &lt;br /&gt;Belladonna: if there are chronic spasms&lt;br /&gt;Eupatorium pur.: bladder always feels full&lt;br /&gt;Sulphura: urge is sudden and intense&lt;br /&gt;Nux vomica: urge accompanied by pain &lt;br /&gt;Uranium nitricum: burning pain &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Biofeedback using electrical or pressure-sensing devices can increase awareness of the bladder, foiling urge incontinence. It is so well-studied, and so effective in relieving incontinence, that Medicare covers the cost. &lt;br /&gt;Everyone who is incontinent has weak muscles. Those with stress incontinence "deny the problem, pay little attention to bladder signals, and are surprised when a slight physical exertion forces urine out. The urge patient, on the other hand, is preoccupied with bladder signals ... and rushes to the toilet at the first signals. ... the brain learns to stop inhibiting the reflexive contractions of the bladder ..." &lt;br /&gt;Leslie Talcott, director Perineometer Research Institute&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;STEP 3. NOURISH AND TONIFY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Retrain your bladder to relieve urge incontinence. Since the bladder is only half full when urge begins, countering the urge to urinate, and gradually lengthening the time between visits to the toilet can work wonders. With practice, the threshold of urge is raised and the nerves no longer signal so frequently. &lt;br /&gt;Food additives such as MSG, potassium sorbate, aspartame, and food colorings aggravate urge incontinence. &lt;br /&gt;Vitamin B12 deficiency - common among vegetarians and epidemic among vegans - can mimic MS, including causing uncontrollable bladder spasms or urge incontinence. Vitamin B12, in its usable form, is available only from milk, eggs, fish, and meat.&lt;br /&gt;Including at least 25 grams of real fiber from whole grains, beans, and nuts in the daily diet may significantly ease urinary overactivity and urge incontinence.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;STEP 4. STIMULATE/SEDATE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For men with overactive bladders, herbalist Terry Willard uses a tea of parsley leaf, corn silk, and dandelion leaf to reduce urine acidity and bladder irritability. When needed, he adds wild yam root to soothe or valerian to calm. &lt;br /&gt;To counter the heat and reduce the inflammation that underlies an overactive bladder, herbalists in India suggest infusions of soothing herbs like marshmallow root (Althea off.), plantain leaf (Plantago species), or mullein leaf (Verbascum thapsus). For those with severe problems, 1-4 tablespoons of powdered turmeric (Cucurma longa) are added to the daily quart of infusion. &lt;br /&gt;Saw palmetto berries, in tincture or tea, relax the smooth muscle in the bladder neck and help reduce overactivity.&lt;br /&gt;Herbal nurse Martha Libster reminds us of the usefulness of Chinese ephedra (ma huang) - to reduce mucus surface swelling and relax spastic muscles - when treating an overactive bladder. &lt;br /&gt;Acupuncture can bring significant relief from urgency, urge incontinence, and overactive bladder say researchers at the Oregon Department of Health and Science University. Four weekly bladder-specific acupuncture treatments improved bladder capacity, reduced urgency and frequency, and improved the quality of life as well as drug or behavioral therapies. &lt;br /&gt;If you can't get the knack of doing pelvic floor exercises (Kegels), don't despair. Physical therapists, personal trainers for your bladder, can help you with these critically important exercises.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;STEP 5A. USE SUPPLEMENTS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A deficiency of magnesium triggers muscles spasms and incontinence. Supplements of 200-600mg daily may help.&lt;br /&gt;Vegans and vegetarians bothered by overactive bladders probably lack vitamin B12 - a critical nutrient found only in animal foods. Supplements or, better yet, a healthier diet that includes organic dairy and meat, are indicated. You may wish to be tested for methylmalonic acid level, a better indicator of deficiency than tests for vitamin B12 itself. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;STEP 5B. USE DRUGS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some drugs - such as "water pills" and tranquilizers - cause or aggravate an overactive bladder. Instead, use herbal diuretics such as corn silk, burdock root, and dandelion; they calm the bladder. Tranquilize with bladder friendly St.Joan's wort (Hypericum perforatum) tincture, a dropperful 3-6 times a day, or motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca) tincture, 15 drops 4-8 times a day.&lt;br /&gt;Antimuscrinic or anticholerinergic drugs relax the bladder's detrusor muscle, extending the time between urge and voiding. They are especially useful for those dealing with traumatic incontinence, but are often suggested as a bridge to control leakage from urge incontinence while lifestyle changes take effect. I wonder how useful this is, as antimuscrinic drugs can take up to three months to be effective, and "side effects may be nearly as troublesome as the incontinence itself." &lt;br /&gt;Detrol (tolterodine), Ditropan (oxybutynin), Enablex (darifenacin), Sanctura (trospium chloride), and Vesicare (solifenacin), can calm an overactive bladder, but dry the mouth and the eyes and cause memory impairment as well as constipation and heart arrhythmias. In one study, three-quarters of those taking 4mg of tolterodine and 0.4mg of tamsulosin, and two-thirds of those taking the placebo, reported improvement after three months. &lt;br /&gt;Although lack of estrogen does not cause incontinence, topical vaginal estrogen cream is a fairly safe, and very easy, way for older women to calm a hyperactive bladder.&lt;br /&gt;Tofranil (imipramine) is an antidepressant that is used in conjunction with an antimuscrinic to tighten the urinary sphincter and relax spasming bladder muscles. Dizziness, drowsiness, and low blood pressure are side effects more frequent in those over 60.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;STEP 6. BREAK AND ENTER&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Europe, injections into the lining of the bladder block the nerve impulse that triggers overactive bladder. This is not yet approved in the USA. But injections of Botox are. The effects - significant increase in bladder capacity before urgency - mimic bladder retraining but only last 6-12 months. &lt;br /&gt;Surgical implantation of a sacral neuromodulator can relax bladder muscles and relieve overpowering urges to urinate.

We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience of the world. These are the people we burned.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;And under the pretence of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened our gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty, due to an unwillingness to work and support their families with pride.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;They have blown up our trains and turned our beautiful Spanish cities into the third world, drowning in filth and crime.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government, they plan the murder and destruction of their naive hosts.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for backwardness and superstition.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and their talent for a better future for their children, their determined clinging to life because life is holy, for those who pursue death, for people consumed by the desire for death for themselves and others, for our children and theirs.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;What a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe ..&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Global Islamic population is approximately 1,200,000,000; that is ONE BILLION TWO HUNDRED MILLION or 20% of the world's population.

There is NOT a single Jew who protests by killing people.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The Jews don't traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all the Infidels.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Perhaps the world's Muslims should consider investing more in standard education and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Muslims must ask 'what can they do for humankind' before they demand that humankind respects them.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Regardless of your feelings about the crisis between Israel and the Palestinians and Arab neighbors, even if you believe there is more culpability on Israel 's part, the following two sentences really say it all:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;'If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence.

Benjamin Netanyahu&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;General Eisenhower Warned Us It is a matter of history that when the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;He did this because he said in words to this effect:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;'Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened'&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Recently, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it 'offends' the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. It is not removed as yet. However, this is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the, 6 million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, and 1,900 Catholic priests who were 'murdered, raped, burned, starved, beaten, experimented on and humiliated' while the German people looked the other way.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Now, more than ever, with Iran , among others, claiming the Holocaust to be 'a myth,' it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;This e-mail is intended to reach 400 million people. Be a link in the memorial chain and help distribute this around the world.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Center 'NEVER HAPPENED' because it offends some Muslim in the United States? &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13801763-544005273501097628?l=agrasen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/feeds/544005273501097628/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13801763&amp;postID=544005273501097628' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/544005273501097628'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/544005273501097628'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/2011/02/newsworthy.html' title='NEWSWORTHY'/><author><name>SHER SINGH AGRAWAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14955014952419938340</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13801763.post-2148048963033064248</id><published>2011-02-05T04:24:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-05T04:24:56.719-08:00</updated><title type='text'>MEDITATION IS NOT CONCENTRATI0ON -  SRI SRI</title><content type='html'>Meditation is not concentration okay, it is de-concentration, it is deep relaxation, huh, de-concentration.

STANDARDIZE HINDII-SANSKRI`T- ENGLISH - GUIDE WHICH INDIAN GOVT. SHOULD HAVE DONE MORE THAN 60 YEARS AGO BUT INDIAN GOVT. HAS DONE NOTHING FOR HINDUUS AND HINDII  BUT FOR MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIANS .  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;How this enormous world came into existence &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Long long ago in Sat-Yug [  सत-युग ] one day Shvet Ketu [श्वेत केतु ] asked his father Uddaalak [ उद्दालक] -- &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Dear father ! How this enormous world came into existence? &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Father answered - the way a tree is unseen in a seed and salt is unseen in salty water , in the same way SUPREME ENERGY IS UNSEEN IN THIS  ENORMOUS WORLD BUT IT IS EVERY WHERE LIKE AIR. That Supreme Power  CREATED THIS ENORMOUS WORLD.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;AS THE AIR IS EVERY WHERE BUT NOT VISIBLE IN THE SAME WAY SUPREME POWER IS EVERY WHERE BUT  NOT VISIBLE .&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;THIS UNSEEN SUPREME POWER, the omnipresent cosmic-energy , universal-energy ,  supreme-energy    HAS CREATED THIS ENORMOUS WORLD .&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;And THIS UNSEEN SUPREME POWER is in me , in you , in plants , in animals, in insects etc. etc.EVERY WHERE&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Because of this Supreme Energy  the living being does millions of things every day like---eating,drinking running sitting,singing,breathing ,coughing etc.etc.but no one can see this  Supreme Energy  [ महा-शक्ति ] in us and when this  Supreme Energy [ महा-शक्ति ]  leaves the living being still no one sees this invisible Supreme Energy [ महा-शक्ति  ] leaving the creature but then the creature is dead and can not do any thing like  eating, drinking ,running , sitting, singing,breathing,coughing etc.etc . . .  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;No one has seen This  invisible Supreme Energy  [ महा-शक्ति ] and no one will see IT and no one is seeing IT BUT IT IS EVERY WHERE AS AIR IS EVERY WHERE . &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Father Uddaalak [ उद्दालक]  thought the eight years old Shvet Ketu[ श्वेत केतु ] is not able to comprehend the invisible Supreme Energy [ महा-शक्ति ] . &lt;br /&gt;Therefore, Uddaalak  [उद्दालक] made a representation of the Supreme Energy  [ महा-शक्ति  ] as a Beautiful Woman with many hands to show the Supreme Power  [ महा-शक्ति ]  does every thing,&lt;br /&gt;Uddaalak [ उद्दालक]   put her foot  on a lion to show that Supreme ENERGY [ महा-शक्ति]   controls every thing though it might be very strong as  A LION ,&lt;br /&gt; Uddaalak [ उद्दालक]  gave in HER hands many things to show that the living being keeps on making many things in his /her  life. &lt;br /&gt;Then  Uddaalak  gave a name to that picture Jagadambaa,[ जगदम्बा ] meaning---- the mother of the universe. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Uddaalak [ उद्दालक ] worshipped this picture --- by saying---&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;" Mahaa Devi Sarv Bhuteshu Anany  Rupen Sansthitaa Namastasyai Namastasyai Namastasyai Namo Namah." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; महा देवी सर्वभूतेषु अनन्य रूपेण संस्थिता नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः | &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;After this Uddalak [ उद्दालक] gave this picture to all boys and girls and said - This is the picture of Invisible Supreme Energy Jagadambaa [जगदम्बा , महा-शक्ति ] which no one has seen IT and no one is seeing IT and no one will see IT because IT is every where like air WHICH CREATED THIS ENORMOUS UNIVERSE. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Uddaalak [ उद्दालक ] said --- " I made this representation in Female form because the word Mahaa Shakti  [महा-शक्ति  ] in Hindi and in Sanskrit is female."&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Since then people started worshipping Jagadambaa[ जगदम्बा] , the Supreme Energy [  महा-शक्ति ] in this  form.                                              &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some Rishis, Munis and learnt people accepted the Supreme Energy  in THIS FEMALE FORM WITH THE NAME JAGADAMBAA. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;BUT SOME OTHER PEOPLE  accepted the Supreme Energy  in  male form and called it BRAHM [ब्रह्म ] &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;And some other Rishis, Munis and learnt people accepted  the Supreme Energy  in neither form female or male and called the Supreme Energy ---- Om  ओम् .----&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Jagadambaa [ जगदम्बा ], Brahm [ ब्रह्म ] and  Om [ ओम्  ] are the names of the same Supreme Energy. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Jagadambaa[ जगदम्बा ] in female form, Brahm [ब्रह्म ] in male form and OM [ ओम् , ॐ , ओम , ओ३म   ] in neither form female or male. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; जगदम्बा  Jagadambaa = जगत + अम्बा  ---  BECAUSE OF JAGDAMBAA CREATION IS CALLED JAGAT जगत ;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; BECAUSE OF Brahm [ब्रह्म ] CREATION IS CALLED  ब्रह्माण्ड  ;                                                 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;and  BECAUSE OF OM [ ओम् , ॐ , ओम , ओ३म   ] CREATION IS CALLED ओमकार &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Jagadambaa[ जगदम्बा ] and  Brahm[ ब्रह्म ] has many names but OM [ ओम् , ॐ , ओम , ओ३म   ] just one name :---&lt;br /&gt;

We are the children of these Rishis, Munis,Svayambhu-Manus  and  Manus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;THE FOUR MANUS REPRESENT FOUR RACES----BLACK RACE , WHITE RACE, BROWEN RACE, YELLOW RACE LIKE CHINESE , JAPANESE&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;{{{  PLEASE NOTE ---- JEWS , CHRISTIANS , MUSLIMS SAY ---- THERE WAS ONE MAN ADAM AND  ONE WOMAN EVE AND WE ARE CHILDREN OF ADAM AND EVE .

Which is the Vedic teachings , the absolute bliss is as easily available to us as is mother's milk to a newly born child. &lt;br /&gt;We have drifted far away from the Cosmic Mother Jagadambaa [ जगदम्बा ,  महा-शक्ति ] which brought dissatisfaction,miseries,unhappiness and unlimited sorrows to the human-race ,  which is the effect of non-Hinduu religions on HINDUUS.&lt;br /&gt;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;HINDUUS BE ON GUARD : --- --- 1 .

WHY MAN CAN DIVORCE HIS WIFE AND WOMAN CAN NOT ? WHY WOMAN HAS TO PROVE HER RAP BY THREE MEN WITNESSES ? WHY IN ADULATORY WOMEN  IS STONE TO DEATH WHILE NOTHING HAPPENES TO MAN ? WHY WOMAN HAS TO COVER HERSELF FROM HEAD TO TOE AND MAN DO NOT HAVE TO ? &lt;br /&gt;HUMANS , ANIMALS , VEGETABLES ALL HAVE LIFE .

It must be a very ignorant, intimidated, gutless and servile nation that even SIX DECADES are not enough to tell us as to WHO IS ON TOP. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;         It is the HINDUS, the end victims of our enemies' DEADLY STRATEGY, who are foremost in trusting the Muslims and serving the Christians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;            Normal people keep EVERYTHING in their own hands to feel strong, secure and comfortable but the Hindus feel strong, comfortable and secure if a NON Hindu is Rashtrapati, Rashtrapatni or Rashtramata. Insecure timid Hindus will feel SAFE if a committed Catholic Sonia is on top but not a committed Hindu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now we can clearly see the STRATEGY of this "DICTATOR" DYNASTY unfolding before our eyes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;          It must have been decided upon even BEFORE Partition. That is why PARTITION was effortless, quick and smooth for Nehru and Jinnah though the Hindus were plunged into BLOOD BATH and lost one third of SACRED "dharti" with Gandhi's cherished slogan "AKHAND BHARAT" blown up. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;          The second occasion was the invasion of KASHMIR.  Nehru's defence was only for show. We saw through his mind when he stopped his army from advancing to recover the full State. The Indian Army is still STUCK there where Nehru intended them to "freeze" and die.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;          The third instance was the WAR over East Pakistan when eight million refugees, mostly Muslim, came crying to their "mother" Indira. She used the war to liberate them, but enslave and degrade the Hindus, betray Secularism (Akhand Bharat), and to enhance her own position to win the next elections that she did easily, riding the wave of victory. But the servile and ignorant people did not question, "Why has she returned the CAPTURED territory so quickly and willingly?" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      How could sleeping Hindus ask this question if they had not asked the TWO before, e.g., 1.  Why we surrendered LAHORE?, and 2.  Why we begged UNO for cease fire when our own troops were ADVANCING?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Having won the trust of the Hindus and having established herself as the "IRON LADY", Indira "Gandhi" took on the SIKHS, the traditional defenders of Hindusthan and living in the border State. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;         To a Muslim nothing is more annoying, irritating and irksome than an obstacle in his way of advance and conquest. Hence Nehru managed to completely ruin the Sikh community by giving their homeland (Lahore, Nankana Sahib, Gujranwala, Rawalpindi and Multan) to Mohammed of Mecca, and now Indira got her own chance to complete the job. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        The DYNASTY knows that after the Sikhs are dead the Hindus will be a walk-over. Hence  the invasion of East Punjab in 1984. Strict censorship and intimidation of Sikh leaders and media has not told the complete story of Sikh disaster in 1984. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      We all know that none of the perpetrators of 1984 genocide in Delhi and elsewhere has been convicted and hanged. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        Having given a severe blow to the Sikhs the next target were the TAMILS who were not only staunch Hindus but also demanding a little freedom from Dynasty's strangulating hold over Hindusthan. They resented the State control of their temples and misappropriation of temple funds (that is still going on unhindered and unchecked).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      Rajviv was the CONTINUATION of Nehru's and Indira's policy and sent the Indian army to KILL the Tamils of INDIAN origin instead of giving them protection. But there was NO protection to them from Delhi just as there was NO protection to the Kashmiri Hindus in 1989. They were NOT given arms to defend themselves or given any protection. Instead Article 370 of Constitution was enforced. It was meant to feed and protect them, susidise their food, water, electricity and housing, while ensuring Muslim majority in the State.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        What can we say of the sleeping Hindu nation who have not looked at all this, and a lot more (e.g., foreign wives, Bofors commission) besides, and cried, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"WOLF IN OUR SHEEP PEN!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The scams, the astronomical foreign deposits and the despicable lickspittle Presidents and cabinet ministers and governors, are all leading to rapid weakening of the Hindu nation and its DISINTEGRATION. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;           In this context the only hope for an unarmed nation, being fed on the diet of Gandhi's "AHIMSA" and the defeatist doctrines of "TYAAG" (RENOUNCE!) and "MAYA" (world is an illusion), is the army. But the less said about the GUTS, PATRIOTISM and VISION of this army, the better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Kuru&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;www.partitionofindia.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Ohh My Sonia!

Actually many of us forget that since 1885, members of the Motilal Nehru family have presided over the Congress party for 39 of its 125 years. Motilal Nehru was president for two years, Jawaharlal Nehru for nine, Indira Gandhi for eight, and Rajiv Gandhi for seven. Sonia Gandhi holds the record both within the dynasty and the party by having the longest, unbroken tenure of 13 years and is still going strong. The party has become a family enterprise and a non-family man like Narasimha Rao is not even recognised as a former prime minster. Following this tradition, we have Agatha Sangma from Megahalya to Omar Abdullah in Jammu and Kashmir to MK Alagiri in Tamil Nadu, inheriting the political throne. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        The important point here is not about the national agenda of these political parties but their functioning and control. Whether it is DMK or the Shiv Sena, where the family battles have come out in open, or the NCP, where the heir apparent has been anointed — the issue is the family business called political parties. It is important to mention that Tamil Nadu is a pioneer of this model wherein the interests of the state, party, government, and people are subsumed for the welfare of the family enterprise. Like in all businesses, it is required to delineate the nature of the business model adopted by these family enterprises. In any business, particularly listed business, the shareholders’ wealth maximisation is the main objective. Unfortunately, these regional parties are not listed on the stock exchanges and hence the correct market valuation may not be available. But the total wealth declared by these leaders (including that of their multiple wives!) during election time in the form of affidavits can be a guide for the net worth of the enterprise. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;          The preliminary expenses here are related to rabble-rousing on caste or language or pro-poor issues. Another method is to promise largesse in the form of free electricity, free TV, free cinema, free rice, to be paid for by the state exchequer. In this model, the actual business entity need not worry about expenses since post-power, there will be a continuous revenue stream. The family business has to be conducted through various functional departments called commerce, agriculture, irrigation, roadways, education, power, and so on. Some are low-volume, high-margin centres like land allotment or C'Wealth Gamea or second generation mobile telephony spectrum, where one project can earn up to thousands of crores. Other business units, like elementary education, which is a large-scale transfer industry, are low-margin but high-volume business. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;               Every teacher transferred may provide only thousands of rupees, but the numbers are large. The family also needs to take care of the interests of other families (sub-regional or other caste parties), hence the creation of strategic business units. In this model, the expenses are borne by the government but revenues are enjoyed by the family. It is a win-win model that does not have any comparable international example. The time-frame for maximising the family wealth is specified after one election and that differentiates it from the other regular business models. Due to the short time span, the family can and does become rapacious and they need continuous extraction of higher bribes to meet their collective greed. The turnover and attrition among supporters is also high, since their aspirations also grow. Hence, the need to create powerful entry barriers as well as exit costs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;             But if you or your children opt out of politics, then you cannot be a “dacoit capitalist” anymore since your ability to formulate policies is gone and there could even be vendetta by the current rulers. So make sure your son/daughter/wives/sambandhis (children’s in-laws) are in some business unit or the other. Will this business model meet its nemesis? Not for some years yet. One reason it will flourish is the increasing importance of land as a factor of production. In the 60s, capital was scare and land was easily allotted. Now capital is available, even from global sources, but land is scarce and that is the strength of these families. Control of land and its allotment is the primary sonrise (pun intended!) industry. To that extent, the family business will flourish. With further fragmentation, many family enterprises will be either in a merger and acquisition mode or in a small business-smaller reach mode. In such situation, some can go sick. Second, due to the greed of some of these families, the margins demanded from projects may exceed the cost of the project.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;          The future of India is ironically linked with these 40-50 families with their capacity for rabble-rousing along and their rapaciousness and greed. Let us celebrate our grass-root democracy that enhances such “family values”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;           URL of the article: http://www.dnaindia.com/opinion/comment_dynasty-politics-is-about-protecting-ill-gotten-wealth_1496695-all&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;__ Global Financial Integrity: $104 billion Indian black money in foreign banks during 2000-2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Global Financial Integrity reports $104 billion black money has been taken out of India between 2000 and 2008.

Choose among Raul Khan (Rahul Gandhi), Antonio Maino (Sonia Gandhi), Bill Gates, and two Ambanis together. Fool Indians keep on voting for subjugation by foreigners. Few days ago, they unfurled Pakistan's flag at Shri Nagar's Lal Chowk, but this goverment won't allow Indian flag to be unfurled there on the Republic Day.

I was a creature of habit. My parents had to make me try new things. “You’ll love soccer, if you tried it out.”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No thanks. I’ll stick to being anti-social and building forts in the woods.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Mom and Dad had a mission: to expose me to everything they could so that I might develop into a well-rounded young man. Well, I don’t know if I turned cultivated but I did end up liking soccer.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what’s my point? Project Conversion is an effort to take the lessons my parents taught me about trying new things and looking through the perspectives of others and apply that to the religious violence and bickering that has our world up in flames today. But instead of preaching about it, I decided to show the world how it’s done by putting my money where my mouth is and living it.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One man. Eleven faiths. One year to practice them all. That’s the mission. To live life in the shoes of another. And it started January 1st, 2011 with Hinduism. As promised, here is my review of the month I’ve lived.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I’ve Learned/What Misconceptions Were Overcome?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Truth is one, though the wise call it by many names” –the Rig Veda  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I began planning for Project Conversion, my future Jain Mentor told me that “Hinduism is the United States of philosophy.” I didn’t get it at the time but now I understand. Hinduism, like the US of A, is an amalgam of philosophies and theologies joined by a common religious “genetic” ancestor or goal. That’s what is meant by the above quote from the Rig Veda and arguably the whole meaning of Sanatana Dharma.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I prepared for my month with Hinduism I felt overwhelmed. “So many gods,” I thought. “So many rituals, traditions, and history. Where do I begin?!” Because I grew up as Christian and was accustomed to only one form of God (Jesus) and one scripture (the Bible), the notion that within one religion I had a choice between different deities and holy scriptures was mind-blowing. Truth, it turned out, wasn’t relative, but a singular goal reached by many, many roads. But time was running out and I had to pick a road fast. I selected Shiva as my deity and thus narrowed down how my month would play out.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shiva is the third aspect of the Supreme Reality (God), Brahman. As Shiva, we understand the creative and destructive cycles of nature. Shiva also represents the detached ascetic, persistent in meditation on the pervasive reality (the divine Self within and outside of us all), and covered in the ashes of burned sin (ignorance). He is represented by the lingam.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lingam represents the formless, abstract reality of the divine. In Sanatana Dharma, there is freedom to use representations of the divine (murti) in order to meditate and focus on God, however the aspirant is encourage to develop his devotion to the point where such tools and methods are obsolete, as he reaches moksha, the realized state in which all is Brahman–including ourselves.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are literally thousands of representations of the divine, each for one or more of its aspects. This is why figures like Jesus, the Buddha, and Krishna are all acceptable as projections of the divine within Hinduism. Each are a way to Truth. When I began this month, I clearly thought that Hinduism was a polytheistic faith due to these various representations. Now I know that, depending on which school of thought a Hindu belongs to, they are either monotheists (God exists as a part of and/or outside of creation and selects manifestations) or monist (the divine is manifest in all of creation).  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Freedom of devotion also lends to the highly developed artistic acumen of Hindus in general. Their culture is replete with visual, literary, and musical styles that convey every colorful aspect of the divine. One revelation I experienced with this concept is that while Hinduism has its holy texts (i.e., the Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, etc.), spiritual discourse is an ongoing development and the treatises that cover these lessons are held in the same esteem as the rishis (holy men or seers) of time immemorial.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What Would I Do Differently?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the sake of efficiency, I decided to split each month into four categories: Rituals and practices, arts and culture, social issues, monthly reflection. While this gives a nice introduction into these different aspects of faith, they tend to limit the content I can share about what’s happening with me personally. Let’s face it, if you wanted a scholarly info dump, you could Google the subject and get it anywhere. What makes Project Conversion interesting is that I’m displacing myself for a whole year and living a “day in the life.” Sure, I posted some personal content toward the end and I’ve also kept a hand-written journal of my daily experiences. Going forward, however, I think it would be fair and more beneficial to you if I offered you a more in depth view into my time living as a Hindu, Muslim, Baha’i, etc. So that’s that.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What Am I Taking From This Into The Future?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the most amazing results of Project Conversion was how quickly I was able to adapt. If you would have told me two months ago that I would embrace a vegetarian lifestyle I would have asked you what you were smoking and if I could have some. But now…Understand that Hinduism sees the presence of the divine in all life and all creation. This is why the concept of non-injury is so crucial. Sure, it was tough whenever someone at a restaurant ordered a perfectly seasoned and seared New York strip, the scent of which flooded my nose and thrust me into potential blood-lust. But I resisted. I held fast. And now that I know in vivid detail how meat is transformed from terrified animal to slaughtered flesh on a plate…yeah, I’m a vegetarian now and probably for the long haul. But I won’t judge someone who eats meat. To each their own, right?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meditation/Yoga. I’m a naturally stressed out guy. As a college student, a father, a husband, a writer, editor, and now in the midst of Project Conversion, it’s easy to see that my head could spin off at any moment. Meditation/yoga–a practice that transcends religious tradition–has become a powerful ally. I am calmer, far more patient, my passion is controlled/guided, and I see the positive in a situation far more readily than in the past. In fact, the results have been so dramatic that I haven’t used profanity(even in thought!) this whole month and even my libido is tamed. Yes, I have a lot further to go, but I like my new disposition and I credit the trained focus of meditation/yoga for that result.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saying Goodbye  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adopting Hinduism for the month has been like jumping naked into freezing water. However, now that I’ve lived this way for almost a month, I can honestly say I’m going to miss everything. I don’t want to hang up my rudraksha mala. I want to chant the mantras in the limited Sanskrit I worked so hard to learn. I don’t want to stop visiting the temple and taking part in the classes, aarti, and prasad. I’ll miss the cool sensation of bhasma ash drying on my forehead in the tripundra stripes. The wisdom of the Upanishads has seeped into my heart and mind and though I must now move on, those poetic verses uttered so many millenia ago will echo long beyond my first month of Project Conversion. No, I haven’t presented everything there is to know about Sanatan Dharma here, but then again, that was never the goal. My hope is that you learned enough to want to learn more, to no longer get nervous around a co-worker wearing a bindi or tilak, to ask questions and let one speak for themselves before you judge them.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here’s to everyone who helped me along the way: Hindu Bhavan Temple, Prof. Bharat Gajjar, Meeta Gajjar Parker, The Naik family, Dr. Gupta and her Sunday School students, Dr. Baktri, everyone who emailed me about the faith and the saints old and new who spoke to me through their written words…&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13801763-4790664980258965488?l=agrasen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/feeds/4790664980258965488/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13801763&amp;postID=4790664980258965488' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/4790664980258965488'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/4790664980258965488'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/2011/01/pr0oject-conversion-hinduism-in-review.html' title='PR0OJECT CONVERSION - HINDUISM IN REVIEW'/><author><name>SHER SINGH AGRAWAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14955014952419938340</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13801763.post-7500028242870182512</id><published>2011-01-28T07:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-28T07:44:04.034-08:00</updated><title type='text'>HILLARI0OUS</title><content type='html'>SHER AGRAWAL &lt;agrasen@gmail.com&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Fwd: FW: Really Hilarious-Circular from MICROSOFT HR Director,USA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Date: Wed, 29 Dec 2010 08:10:29 -0800&lt;br /&gt;Subject: Really Hilarious-Circular from MICROSOFT HR Director,USA.&lt;br /&gt;From: krish45@gmail.com&lt;br /&gt;To: krish45@gmail.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Hindi knowing people will really enjoy this Hilarious circular from HR Director ,Microsoft,USA  !!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Can't stop laughing :) Sorry for the language but this is so funny.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Microsoft's Memo to its Indian Staff&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a REAL MEMO from Microsoft HR Director in Redmond, WA to its staff of the Indian Origin. Every word here is kept intact without alteration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MEMO TO INDIAN STAFF&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In view of the large number of Indians working in the USA, UK and many other countries with White People, it has become important for Human Resources Department to issue directives to their Indian staff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TO ALL HINDI-SPEAKING STAFF&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has been brought to our attention by several officials visiting our corporate headquarters that offensive language is commonly used by our Hindi-speaking staff. Such behavior, in addition to violating our policy, is highly unprofessional and offensive to both visitors and colleagues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Staff will IMMEDIATELY adhere to the following rules:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Words like CHUTIYA, GANDU and other such expressions will not be used for emphasis, no matter how heated the discussion. You will not say CHUTIYE, AKKAL NAHI HAI KYA TEREKO when someone makes a mistake, or MADAR CHOD, BHENCHOD when a major mistake&lt;br /&gt;has been made. All forms derived from the verb CHOD are inappropriate in our environment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. No project manager, section head or administrator, under any circumstances, will be referred to as GADHA or CHUTIYA. Lack of determination will not be referred to as KAAMCHOR SAALA and neither will persons who lack initiative be referred to as BHOSADIKAA or MADARCHOD.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Unusual or creative ideas from your superiors are not to be referred to as GAND FAADU, if a person is persistent, or if a task is heavy to accomplish. In a similar way, do not use GAND FATI, if a colleague is going through a difficult situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Furthermore, you must not say BHOSADE MEIN GAYA when matters become complicated. When asking someone to leave you alone, you must not say DIMAG KI MAA BHEN MAT KAR. Do not ever substitute 'May I help you?' with BOL TERI GAND KAISE MARU.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. When things get tough, an acceptable_expression such as 'We are going through a difficult time' should be used, rather than MAA CHUDI PADI HAI or GOTI MUH MEIN HAI..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. No salary increase shall be ever referred to as KHAIRAAT BAATI JAA RAHI HAI KYA. Under no circumstances should you call our elderly corporate partners as BUDDHA KHOOSAT.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7.

We wish more journalists were of your kind and calibre.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The bestial crimes of ISLAM against mankind are too many to put in a small article when we need books to give details right from the time Mohammed set off from Mecca to "conquer the world". &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;He was preceded by some and succeeded by many of his kind whose names we know. They all met with defeat and death while Mohammed got away. It is because he was smart enough to enforce and impose whatever he proclaimed by adding the phrase, "Allah said so." &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;He knew that none will defy Allah and thus accept his crude code of conduct with regard to abduction, rape, murder and land grab (Jihad).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;So, "in the name of Allah," any loafer, vagabond, adventurer, dimwit, philanderer, schizophrenic or disgruntled man can legally have up to four wives, divorce one who wasn't prepared to be slave or concubine, by merely saying "talaaq" (divorce) three times, beat and starve a disobedient female, pronounce the verdict to amputate foot or hand or even gouge out the eyes of a thief or rebel, kill anyone who left the suffocating mental "prison" of Islam, call everyone "KAFIR" who did not submit to Mohammed, and behead him in public, flog women in public, blow up girls's schools, invade any country for its gold, silver and women, wantonly destroy temples, synagogues and churches and even PARTITION a country on achieving demographic majority in any part of region. India had her five provinces amputated when the intolerant &amp; separatist "Islamic gangrene" spread. Cyprus lost its Northern part and Serbia lost Kosovo for the same reason.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Shrewd Mohammed declared, "thus spoke Allah", and had a book written up, calling it KORAN. It is the compelling Code of Conduct for a "fighter-killer" like no other incendiary literature on earth. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Century after century, it has produced Jihadis, Mujahideen, Ghazis and TERRORISTS who have destroyed civilized nations by converting the inhabitants and crushing their human rights. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The modern version of a "good Muslim", never condemned by the rest, is the suicide bomber who blows him-/herself up for maximum carnage and loss of innocent life. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The massacre at the airport near Moscow, the explosion on train in Madrid, the Underground &amp; bus bombings in London, the destruction of WTC towers in New York, the massacre of Greeks in Northern Cyprus and desecration of their churches, the genocide in West Punjab and East Bengal (Noakhali), the destruction of Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Grand Temple at the birth place of Sri Rama at Ayodhya, and Sophia Hagis, a church built over 1400 years ago in Istambul, all can be traced back directly, without any diversion, to Mohammed of Mecca himself and his Book, the Koran, as the primary source of belligerency, murder, plunder, abduction, rape and land grab.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Coming back to ENGLAND, it is absolutely beyond belief that our Government, entrusted with our security today and safety tomorrow, should let in so many Muslims and then give them all the encouragement to bring in more, convert freely and procreate at disproportionately excessive rate so that this country, too, adopts Islam as its official religion eventually.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;All the senior citizens, who still remember how difficult it was to escape slavery under HITLER, are now asking, "How will we get rid of Islam and Koran, if our grandchildren are not to live in the "Islamic Republic" of England?"&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;For those who were born in LAHORE and DHAKA when these cities were in one country, the question has become irrelevant now. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Since Muslims everywhere regard Mohammed as their Prophet and blindly believe like unquestioning morons that Koran is the Word of Allah, we should regard Islam as global menace and the enemy of women's dignity and equality, secularism and democracy.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Please follow up the sad tale of just one young woman rendered a widow in prime of her life, condemned to live the life of grief &amp; mourning while bringing up her children single-handed in the aftermath of widespread massacres in West Punjab, India, during 1947. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;None can give a better testimonial on the character of Mohammed and the destructive propensity acquired by his followers through brainwashing and conditioning, than she.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Kuru&lt;br /&gt;27 Jan 11.&lt;br /&gt;

We start getting terribly bad smell &lt;br /&gt;when  we are about 2 kms away from the factories. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; Saboodana is made by root like sweet potato.  Kerala has this root each &lt;br /&gt; weighing about 6kgs.  Factory owners buy these roots in bulk during &lt;br /&gt; season, make it to pulp and put it in pits of about 40ft x 25ft.  Pits &lt;br /&gt; are in open ground and the pulp is allowed to rot for several months.  &lt;br /&gt; Thousands of tons of roots rot in pits.   There are huge electric &lt;br /&gt; bulbs throughout the night where millions of insects fall in the pits.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; While pulp is rotting, water is added everyday due to which 2” long &lt;br /&gt; white colour eel is automatically born like pests are born &lt;br /&gt; automatically in gutter.  The walls of pits are covered by millions of &lt;br /&gt; eels and factory owners with the help of machine crush the pulp with &lt;br /&gt; the eels which also become paste.  This action is repeated many times &lt;br /&gt; during 5-6 months.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; The pulp is thus ready as roots and millions &amp; millions of pests and &lt;br /&gt; insects crushed and pasted together.  This paste is then passed through &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; round mesh and made into small balls and then polished.  This is  saboodana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  Now I know whey many people don’t eat Saboodana treating this as &lt;br /&gt; non-vegetarian.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; If you find it appropriate and if you think after reading this one &lt;br /&gt; cannot relish Saboodana, pass on to those whom you want to save from  this tasty food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13801763-710481380647593339?l=agrasen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/feeds/710481380647593339/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13801763&amp;postID=710481380647593339' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/710481380647593339'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/710481380647593339'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/2011/01/saboodana-how-vegetarian-it-is.html' title='saboodana - how vegetarian it is?'/><author><name>SHER SINGH AGRAWAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14955014952419938340</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13801763.post-8154665415269275879</id><published>2011-01-24T13:11:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-25T08:57:56.183-08:00</updated><title type='text'>TOLERANCE</title><content type='html'>SHER AGRAWAL &lt;agrasen@gmail.com&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Tolerance&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;vibha cale &lt;vibhacale@yahoo.co.uk&gt;  Mon, Jan 24, 2011 at 10:58 AM  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The guy who came up with this has the potential to be the next President of the US (at least)! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tolerance&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am truly perplexed that so many of my friends are against a mosque being built near Ground Zero.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think it should be the goal of every American to be tolerant. The mosque should be allowed, in an effort to promote tolerance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is why I also propose, that two nightclubs be opened next door to the mosque thereby promoting tolerance within the mosque. We could call one of the clubs (which would be gay) "The Turban Cowboy" and the other being a topless bar "You Mecca Me Hot". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes in pork and adjacent to that have an open barbeque pork rib restaurant, called something like “ Iraq o’ Ribs”? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Across the street there could be a very daring lingerie store called Victoria Keeps Nothing Secret with sexy mannequins in the window modeling the goods. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next door to the lingerie shop, there would be room for an Adult Toy Shop (Koranal Knowledge), its name in flashing neon lights, and on the other side a liquor store, maybe call it "Morehammered"? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then the Muslims could be allowed to show their tolerance. Problem solved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you agree in promoting tolerance and you think this is a good plan, pass it on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;This email has been scanned by Netintelligence&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vibha Cale&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13801763-8154665415269275879?l=agrasen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/feeds/8154665415269275879/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13801763&amp;postID=8154665415269275879' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/8154665415269275879'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/8154665415269275879'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/2011/01/tolerance.html' title='TOLERANCE'/><author><name>SHER SINGH AGRAWAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14955014952419938340</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13801763.post-8860398731035214676</id><published>2011-01-24T13:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-24T13:06:35.427-08:00</updated><title type='text'>LIES OF ISLAM</title><content type='html'>SHER AGRAWAL &lt;agrasen@gmail.com&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;How Muslims carried Hindu Wisdom to the West, Part 1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Bharat J.

It's worth reading.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bharat J. Gajjar&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How Muslims carried Hindu Wisdom to the West, Part 1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By FFI Contributing Editor Dr Radhasyam Brahmachari&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Islamic Lies:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is now well known that Allah has given a clean chit to the Muslims around the world to tell lies, called “taqiyya” or holy deception, for the benefit of Islam or glorifying Islam. So, the President Barack Obama, while addressing a gathering at the Cairo University, on June 5, 2009, said, “As a student of history, I also know civilization’s debt to Islam. It was Islam at places like Al-Azhar that carried the light of learning through so many centuries, paving the way for Europe’s renaissance and enlightenment. It was innovation in Muslim communities…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was innovation in Muslim communities that developed the order of algebra, our magnetic compass and tools of navigation, our mastery of pens and printing, our understanding of how disease spreads and how it can be healed. Islamic culture has given us majestic arches and soaring spires, timeless poetry and cherished music, elegant calligraphy and places of peaceful contemplation. And throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality.”[1]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barack Obama speaking at Cairo Univ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not difficult to understand that President Barack Hussain Obama, being a Muslim, told all these lies as mentioned above, as his duty to glorify Islam. In the above speech, President Obama has told another blatant lie to the audience that he is a Christian. This author, in his two part article “Conflict of Conscience between the Muslim Obama and the President Obama” [2] hase proven it conclusively that President Obama is a Muslim. At that time a study revealed that 20% of American citizens were convinced that, Obama is a Muslim. Today, the percentage of such people is rising sharply and the world’s large search engine, “Google” is fully convinced that Obama is a Muslim. But it is important to note that Obama said not a single word – Why that golden era of Arab science declined so sharply? Why the contribution of Islamic world in science today is almost zero? For the past thousand years, contribution to human civilization is nothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It should also be mentioned that, what Mr Obama so proudly highlighted as Islamic civilization, that did not evolved from Koran and the authors of that civilization were not Arabs. The authors of Islamic science, literature, astronomy, mathematics, architecture etc. were the kafirs , pagans and idolaters of India, Greece ,China. Ancient India was worlds knowledge center of higher Mathematics, Chemistry ,Physics ,Astrology, philosophy ,medicine and surgery etc. Seekers of knowledge used to come to India from all places of the world. It was common to see students from China, South East Asia, Central Asia, Iran, Middle East in these centers of learning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, most of the pioneers of Arabic science were not ethnic Arabs. Abū al Wafā Būzjānī, al Farghānī, al Fazārī, al-Khwārizmī were Persians, al Bīrūnī was from Uzbekistan, Al Farabi was most probably an Afghan, Al Kindi, Hunayn ibn Ishaq were from Iraq, al Battānī was a Muslim astronomer, astrologer and mathematician and he was born in Harran near Urfa, which is now in Turkey Only a few like al Farahidi, Ibn Ishaq etc were ethnically Arabs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Advancement in science, arts, literature or any branch of knowledge needs freedom of speech and freedom of thought. But freedom of thought is a taboo in Islam – each and every Muslim has to think, write and speak according to the guideline ordained by Allah in the Koran or in the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad called Hadith. If anyone says something or writes something violating the guidelines of Allah, he would instantly be declared an apostate that calls for a punishment of death. It is, therefore, evident that in such a suffocating atmosphere, science cannot flourish. That is the reason, the Islamic science died a very premature death.&lt;br /&gt;This is also the reason why the creativity of Islamic world today is almost zero.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To make science free from religious dogma and orthodoxy an Islamic school called Muatazilah  flourished in the cities of Basra and Baghdad, both in present-day Iraq, during the 8th–10th centuries. It is still adopted by some Muslim scholars and intellectuals today. The adherents of the school called Mutazili, were at severe confrontation with other Sunni Muslim scholars. And ultimately, the Mutazilis had to surrender to orthodox religious schools and their unscientific dogmas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Present state of Islamic science:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few examples may be narrated to highlight the poor performance in the creative arena of the Muslim World today. In the first week of January, 2006, the American Federation of Muslims of Indian-origin (AFMI) and the Talent Promotion Trust, a Bangalore based NGO, have jointly held a panel discussion on “Emerging India and Development of Muslims” in Bangalore. Mr. Farooque Shaikh, a renowned film star, while addressing the gathering of Muslims intellectuals on 7th January, said, “Muslims need to introspect as to why their situation has hit the present nadir and should give up blaming others for their dismal educational standard”. He also said that after analyzing the Muslim community he has come to the conclusion that … …religious discrimination, gender bias and other issues are plaguing them”. (Islamic Voice: February, 2006).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While speaking to the occasion on the new role the Muslims of this country have to play in the new emerging India, Mr. Sadaqath Peeran, chairman of the Al-Ameen Education Society, said, “If Muslims had to be equal partners in emerging India, they had to break the shackle of poverty and illiteracy. English should br introduced in all Urdu schools, if we want to be equipped to face the challenges of this competitive world”. Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Maqbool Ahmed Siraj, secretary of the Talent Promotion Trust said, “The present situation of the Muslims is very bleak all over the world. There is no encouragement and incentive for innovation and creativity in the Muslim world”. Mr. Siraj lamented over the low level of economic activity of the Muslim world and said, “The entire gross domestic product of the Muslim world is just half of what France produces every year”. (Islamic Voice, Feb 2006).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nearly 12 years ago, in January 1998, Mr. Wasim Sajjad, President of the Islamabad based Ministerial Standing Committee on Scientific and Technological Cooperation (CONSTECH), while addressing a press conference, said that the countries belonging to the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC), considering their share of world population, should have 4 million scientists and engineers, but in reality they had only 200,000, merely 5 per cent of the expected figure. He also pointed out that Muslims account for 1.3 billion or nearly 32 per cent of the world population, but scientific research papers they publish is negligible, below one per cent of world’s total. And at the same time, they have little contribution in the high tech-areas like computer software and information technology etc. Mr. Sajjad, while lamenting over the dearth of creativity and poor performance of the Muslims in modern science and technology, complained that, considering the share of world population, Islamic countries should spend $ 4.7 million a year for higher education and research, but in reality they were spending as low as $ 130,000 per Year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The severe dearth of creativity in the Muslim world has been revealed in another study. In India and elsewhere in the world, Muslims are, as a community, most back-ward and top the list in adult illiteracy, infant mortality and poverty. Mr. Hisamul Islam Siddiqi, the president of the Indian Islamic Council, a Delhi based NGO. In February, 2000, while he was addressing a seminar on ‘Islamic Heritage: Indian Dimension’ in Delhi, said that nearly 36 per cent of Indian Muslims were urban and almost all of them were slum-dwellers, living below the poverty line. The Rahat Welfare Trust is a Mumbai based NGO and to describe the widespread darkness of ignorance and illiteracy among the Muslims, says, “This darkness makes a mockery of our freedom. … It is only the light of education that can banish this darkness created by ignorance”. Islamic Voice is a Bangalore-based monthly. Its editor Mr. Sadatulla Khan, while lamenting over the lack of creativity and intellectual stagnation in the Muslim community, in his editorial ‘Intellectual Stagnation and Its Remedy’, writes, “Both individually and collectively, Muslims are victims of intellectual stagnation for the past several centuries and are painfully lagging behind in the race of civilization.” (To read more, see The World Community of Muslims: Shackled People Enslaved by the Koran by this author.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Islam is a doctrine of destruction:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a doctrine, Islam teaches destruction, not creation. After conquering Egypt they burnt and destroyed the great library of Alexandria. Pre-Islamic India boasted of the world’s oldest university at Taxila (4th to 5th B.C.). There were other world famous seats of learning at Nalanda , Odantipur, Vidisha etc. All these universities were destroyed and libraries burnt by the barbaric Muslim invaders. Before Islamic invasion, both atheists and theists – Hindus, Buddhists, Jains scientists and philosophers worked together and freely expressed their thoughts and views without fear of persecution in the name of religion. The result, Indian civilization turned into a paradise for scholars scientists. But the entire set up was ravaged by the barbaric Muslim invaders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Such widespread destruction and, at the same time, large-scale slaughter of the Hindus for refusing to accept Islam, completely shattered social fabric of the Hindus which led to a sharp decline of the Hindu science. “From 1000A.D. Indian- subcontinent was shattered by frequent Islamic invasion with more than 80 millions were put to swords for their refusal to convert to Islam. The Islamic rule saw the destruction of the timeless proud legacy of learning and free thinking in this land of the ancients”, says a Youtube video. [3].&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In India, the barbaric Muslim invaders also destroyed thousands of Hindu temples and raised mosques with the raw material obtained from the destruction of temples. In many places, they converted the temples directly into mosques. A Muslim chronicler of that time said, “It is easy to convert a temple into a mosque by following three simple steps. Firstly, remove and destroy the idol. Secondly, make pulpit for the imam and thirdly raise a minaret.” The conquest of Iran, Iraq and India by the Muslims proves that a rich civilization could be conquered by the brutes, as Rome was destroyed by the Vandals. This mass scale destruction and massacring the non-Muslim was not confined to India, or Iran, or Iraq. Such rampant destruction and large scale homicide went on throughout the vast area the Muslims conquered and established the Muslim or Arab Empire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Islamic or Arab conquests:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conquering non-Arab countries and enslaving non-Arab peoples began after the death of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Muhammad, through his barbaric creed called Islam, could establish a new unified polity in the Arabian Peninsula which under the subsequent  Caliphs, particularly under the Umayyad Caliphates, saw a century of rapid expansion of Muslim power that stretched from the borders of China and India (Present day Pakistan), across Central Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, Sicily, and the Iberian Peninsula, to the Pyrenees.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muslim Empire during Umayyad Caliphates&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Umayyad Caliphate at its greatest extent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Due to this Muslim conquest, the Sassanid Empire collapsed and brought about a great territorial loss for the Byzantine Empire. Many historians believe that the Sassanid Persian and Byzantine Roman empires were militarily and economically exhausted at that time from decades of fighting against one another. Later on, wars between the Byzantine Empire and the Umayyad caliphates resulted in the conquest of the Greater Syria, Egypt, North Africa and Armenia  by the Muslims.. The estimates for the size of the Islamic Caliphate suggest it was more than thirteen million square kilometers (five million square miles), making it larger than all current states except the Russian Federation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The conquest of Persia and Iraq, the two seats of ancient civilization and learning and the shift of the Caliphate from Mecca to Baghdad, under the Abbasid caliphs, is a milestone of Arab or Islamic science. “Starting around 750 AD, science flourished under the Abbasid caliphs of Baghdad, gradually spreading its influence as far west as Spain and eastwards into Central Asia, over a period of more than 600 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By drawing on a variety of texts – Greek, Indian and Persian – and translating them into Arabic, the early scholars accumulated the greatest body of scientific knowledge in the world … and built on it through their own discoveries. Often, there was a practical Islamic relevance. Astronomy could be used to work out the direction of prayer. Mathematics was needed for dividing property according to the Islamic law of inheritance. Although science flourished under Arab-Islamic patronage, by no means all the important figures in science were Muslims, or even Arabs. The common factor, however, was the Arabic language, which for a time became the international language of science. It was only later, in the 12th and 13th centuries, when the Arabic works began to be translated into Latin, that such knowledge passed to the west”, says an author.” [4]&lt;br /&gt;In fact, the Islamic state was formed in 622 C.E., when the Prophet moved from Mecca to Medina but within a century after his death (632 C.E.) a large part of the planet, from southern Europe throughout North Africa to Central Asia and on to India, was controlled by and/or influenced by the new Arabic-Muslim Empire. In 711 C.E., Arab Muslims invaded southern Spain and a center of flourishing civilization (al-Andalus) was created and another center emerged in Baghdad from the Abbasids, who ruled part of the Islamic world during a historic period later characterized as the “Golden Age” (750 to 1258 C.E.)..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though the Islamic scholars claim many discoveries as Arabic origin, most of the achievements of the Islamic-Arabic Golden Age were based on previous initiatives taken by the ancient Egyptians, Hebrews, Persians, Greeks, Romans and the Hindus. The Abbasid Caliphate built a big library, commonly known as the House of Wisdom, in Baghdad where scholars used to meet to exchange their views. Translators were invited to Baghdad, to translate Greek, Latin and Sanskrit texts. The result of their work was impressive progress in all sectors of science. The rulers of Islamic Spain also engaged a team of translators and recruited scholars who gathered knowledge (a few of them made some minor contributions) in science, medicine, technology, philosophy, and art.[5]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this way, the Muslim (or Arab) empire acted as a bridge for taking wisdom of the East to the West. The most important Hindu discovery that Arabs carried to the West was the Hindu Numerals or writing numbers infinitely large or infinitesimally small, using nine symbols, one zero and a decimal point. Due to their ignorance, the Europeans took it to be an Arabic invention and called it the Arabic numerals. But now it has been conclusively established that the real inventors were the Hindus of India. Even though, some authors still mention it as the Indo-Arabic numerals. We hope to discuss this matter in the second part of this article.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13801763-8860398731035214676?l=agrasen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/feeds/8860398731035214676/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13801763&amp;postID=8860398731035214676' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/8860398731035214676'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/8860398731035214676'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/2011/01/lies-of-islam.html' title='LIES OF ISLAM'/><author><name>SHER SINGH AGRAWAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14955014952419938340</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13801763.post-5449382647534106913</id><published>2011-01-23T12:13:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-23T12:13:36.681-08:00</updated><title type='text'>PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WITH MODERN TECHNOLOGY</title><content type='html'>SHER AGRAWAL &lt;agrasen@gmail.com&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Fw: PLEASE READ: VERY IMPORTANT TO SAVE PRECIOUS LIFE!! - FW: Can current travel through Flash light of camera to your body?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Rukmini Chainani &lt;rusuni@yahoo.com&gt;  Sun, Jan 23, 2011 at 10:36 AM  &lt;br /&gt;To: devic@microsoft.com &lt;br /&gt;Cc: agrasen@gmail.com  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----- Forwarded Message ----&lt;br /&gt;From: "Chainani, Ashok" &lt;Ashok.Chainani@caridianbct.com&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To: Avinash Chainani &lt;avinashchainani@gmail.com&gt;; anjali chainani &lt;anjali_chainani@yahoo.com&gt;; Kamini Jagtiani &lt;jagtiani@us.ibm.com&gt;; "Jagtiani, M C" &lt;mc.jagtiani@mottmac-india.com&gt;; Sumita Jagtiani &lt;sumitajagtiani@hotmail.com&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cc: manumalkani@hotmail.com; lalwanivijay@hotmail.com; Daulati@yahoo.com; rusuni@yahoo.com; mthakur_us@yahoo.com; AMKON1@yahoo.co.in; Sushil Sunkersett &lt;ssunkersett@gmail.com&gt;; Maya Chainani &lt;mayachainani777@gmail.com&gt;; thakur_anil@yahoo.com; kabir_chaturvedi@hotmail.com&lt;br /&gt;Sent: Sat, January 22, 2011 10:23:44 AM&lt;br /&gt;Subject: PLEASE READ: VERY IMPORTANT TO SAVE PRECIOUS LIFE!! - FW: Can current travel through Flash light of camera to your body?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope your week-end is going well.

He was admitted in Keshavani Hospital as burned &lt;br /&gt;patient. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reason &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4 days back this boy had gone to Amravati (One of the district place &lt;br /&gt;located in State of Maharashtra ) on study tour. After their study was &lt;br /&gt;over, he, his classmates &amp; his teachers, all of them were standing &lt;br /&gt;on "Badnera" railway station to catch the train. "Badnera" is the name &lt;br /&gt;of the railway station for&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" Amravati " city.As soon as they arrived on Badnera Railway station, &lt;br /&gt;many of them started taking pictures of their friends using "Mobile &lt;br /&gt;Phones" and/or "Digital Camera". One of them complained that, in his &lt;br /&gt;camera, he was not able to capture more number of friends in one frame. &lt;br /&gt;He was not able to catch the angle. Another boy suggested that let's &lt;br /&gt;climb on train boogie and take picture so that all of them can be &lt;br /&gt;accommodated in single frame. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At that there was one goods wagon (all of them were oil tankers) train resting between 2 main railway lines. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kumar Aditya climbed up oil boogie. Above his head, 40,000 volts &lt;br /&gt;electrical line was passing through. As soon as he clicked the digital &lt;br /&gt;camera? 40,000 volt current passed through the camera flash light to his&lt;br /&gt;camera and then from his camera to his fingers and then from his &lt;br /&gt;fingers to his body. All this happened within fraction of minutes. Next &lt;br /&gt;moment he was thrown from the top. His body was half burned&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;on the spot. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At that time, his father (my friend) was traveling in Bangkok . His many&lt;br /&gt;friends in Pune came to know about this via mobile SMS. They instantly &lt;br /&gt;arranged air ambulance in Amravati and his burned body was brought to &lt;br /&gt;Keshavani Hospital , Mumbai. i was told that this is the best hospital &lt;br /&gt;in Mumbai. For 1 and 1/2 day or so he was talking to his relatives. When&lt;br /&gt;he was admitted to the hospital, at that time only, doctor informed his&lt;br /&gt;relatives that don't keep great hopes. Because of lot of complex issues&lt;br /&gt;in half burned body? He died yesterday morning. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now how many of&lt;br /&gt;us are aware about this technological threats &amp; dangers? Honestly, &lt;br /&gt;Kumar Aditya and his father was not aware. His family was not aware. Our&lt;br /&gt;entire friend circle of more than 12,000, we were not aware. Now should&lt;br /&gt;we call ourselves as fully educated and fully&lt;br /&gt;knowledgeable people? Please Think of it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please avoid mobile phones on petrol outlets. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please avoid talking on mobile phones while driving. I also know many of my friends &lt;br /&gt;who do not bother about this good suggestion and each one of them have &lt;br /&gt;opted for "Chalta Hai Yaar Attitude". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please avoid talking on mobile phones while they are in charging mode. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please avoid charging mobile phones near Your bed and/or near wooden furniture. Avoid&lt;br /&gt;mobile phones near high voltage electrical lines like railway stations &lt;br /&gt;and use flash lights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friend, his family members and we all friends learned our lesson with loss of young&lt;br /&gt;life. Now Would You like to empower Your friends about this accident so&lt;br /&gt;as to avoid future accidents? We can save human life by empowering all &lt;br /&gt;the IT users who are in Your network? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What can we do ? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please, please.....I request you to send this very important life threatening &lt;br /&gt;information to your loved ones..... &lt;br /&gt;"Print this mail only if absolutely necessary. &lt;br /&gt;Be green, read from the screen!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~Do to others what you expect to be done to yourself ~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;** Statement from CaridianBCT Inc. **&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Confidential and/or privileged information may be contained in this message and any attachments.

So,&lt;br /&gt;this article too is as colored as her shows. Pity, someone who started&lt;br /&gt;off as a promising journalist has transformed herself into this&lt;br /&gt;position. The Radia tapes too showed her being most vocal, proactive&lt;br /&gt;and eager to act power-broker and go-between for Congress leaders.&lt;br /&gt;Maybe it is her turn to reciprocate, after having been awarded Padma&lt;br /&gt;Shri in 2008 by a grateful Congress for her 'services'.&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;there are many more  comments ... pulverizing this psec!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.hindustantimes.com/Dangerous-politics/H1-Article1-653156.aspx#disqus_thread&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;__._,_.___&lt;br /&gt;Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post | Start a New Topic &lt;br /&gt;Messages in this topic (1) &lt;br /&gt;Recent Activity: &lt;br /&gt;Visit Your Group &lt;br /&gt; Switch to: Text-Only, Daily Digest • Unsubscribe • Terms of Use.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;__,_._,___ &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13801763-4108201460782977018?l=agrasen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/feeds/4108201460782977018/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13801763&amp;postID=4108201460782977018' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/4108201460782977018'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/4108201460782977018'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/2011/01/another-traitor-barkha-dutt.html' title='ANOTHER TRAITOR - BARKHA DUTT'/><author><name>SHER SINGH AGRAWAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14955014952419938340</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13801763.post-5876244723493347623</id><published>2011-01-23T09:09:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-23T09:09:44.550-08:00</updated><title type='text'>NO ACT OF KIINDNESS GOES UN-RETURNED, HOWEVER LONG IT MAY TAKE!</title><content type='html'>SHER AGRAWAL &lt;agrasen@gmail.com&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Fwd: A great story&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Krishnaswamy Narasimhan &lt;krish45@gmail.com&gt;  Sun, Jan 23, 2011 at 7:25 AM  &lt;br /&gt;To: Krishnaswamy Narasimhan &lt;krish45@gmail.com&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; A Great story&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a true story that had happened in 1892 at Stanford University.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; A young, 18-year-old student was struggling to pay his fees. He was&lt;br /&gt;an orphan, and not know­ing where to turn to - for money, he came up with &lt;br /&gt;an idea. He with a friend decided to host a musical concert on the Campus to raise money for their education.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They approached the Great Pianist 'Ignacy J. Paderewski' His manager demanded a guaranteed fee of $2000 for the piano recital. A deal was struck. And the boys began to work to make the concert a success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The big day arrived. "Paderewski" performed at Stanford. But unfortunately, they had not managed to sell enough tickets. The total col­lection was only $1600. Disappointed, they went to Paderewski and  explained their plight. They gave him the entire $1600, plus a cheque for the balance $400. They promised to honour the cheque soonest possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"No." said Paderewski. "This is not acceptable." He tore up the cheque, returned the $1600 and told the two boys "Here's the $1600. Please deduct whatever expenses you have incurred. Keep the money you need for your fees. And just give me whatever is left" The boys were surprised, and thanked him profusely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a small act of kindness. But it clearly marked out Paderewski as a great human being. Why should he help two people he did not even know? We all come across situations like these in our lives. And most of us only think "If I help them, what would hap­pen to me?" The truly great people think, "If I don't help them, what will happen to them?" They don't do it expecting something in return. They do it because they feel it's the right thing to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paderewski later went on to become the Prime Minister of Poland. He was a great leader, but unfortunately when the World War began, Poland was ravaged. There were over 1.5 mil­lion people starving in his  country, and no money to feed them. Paderewski did not know where to turn for help. He reached out to the US Food and Relief Administration for help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The head there was a man called "Herbert Hoover" - who later went on to become the US President. "Hoover" agreed to help and quickly shipped&lt;br /&gt;tons of food grains to feed the starving Polish people. A calamity was averted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Paderewski" was relieved. He decided to go across to meet "Hoover" and&lt;br /&gt;person­ally thank him. When "Paderewski" began to thank "Hoover" for his&lt;br /&gt;noble gesture, "Hoover" quickly interjected and said, "You shouldn't be&lt;br /&gt;thanking me Mr. Prime Minister.

Yadu and his descendants started ruling in outskirts of the mainland, viz small islands. It is assumed the reference in scriptures of Jambudwepa is in memory of these islands. Later on Yadus entered the mainland overthrowing many Puru rulers.Presently they are known by my names.Gope means mystique stemming from Shiva (Also called Gopeshwar or lord of mysticism) and emulated in Bhagavad Gita, Yaduvanshis are descendants of the ancient Yadavs. Abhir (also known as Abhira or Ahira) means fearless and have got most ancient historical references dating back to Abhira kingdom of saraswati valley,they spoke abhiri(ancient sanskrit) till buddhist period .Some scholars believe Abhira identity was used by Yadava residents of Holy Land (like Saraswati Valley where they lived fearlessly)and separate identity emerged because of their gradual alienation because of many reasons some of which are saraswati going down the earth and fall of Dwarka[1].Some scholars see connection to jews of these abhira through biblical city ophir.Yadavas were possesors of great mysical knowledge is confirmed in Bhagwad Gita itself which says-same knowledge was given to Manu(first man on earth),surya and ichavaku(ancestor of lord Rama) at very ancient time.It is believed Abhira were the link between eastern and western religions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yadvas are described as the descendants of Yadu, the eldest son of King Yayati, whose father removed him from the succession because he rebelled against Yayati's wishes. Yadu and his descendants started ruling in places that are assumed to be referred to in the Hindu scriptures as Jambudvipa. Later on, the Yadus overthrew many Puru rulers. According to the Bhagvad Gita, Yadavas were possessors of great mystical knowledge, as far back as Manu, and much knowledge was also given to Surya and Ikshavaku in far ancient times. According to Dharmic mythology, Jarasandh, Kamsa's father-in-law, and king of Magadha attacked Yadavas to avenge the killing of Kansa. Yadavas had to shift their capital from Mathura (central Aryavart) to Dwaraka (on the western coast of Aryavart) on the Sindhu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abhira, which is considered to be a subgroup of Yadava caste today, is assumed to be different from ancient Yadavas. Linkage is obscure and views vary from scholar to scholar. The term was used for cowherds initially but has been extended to include Yaduvanshi and Nandavanshis too by its corrupt version Ahir. Abhira means "fearless" and appear in most ancient historical references dating back to the Abhira kingdom of the Saraswati Valley, who spoke Abhiri until the Buddhist period.[2] Analysis of Hindu scriptural references of the Abhira kingdoms has led some scholars to conclude that it was merely a term used for Holy Yadava Kingdoms. In Bhagavatam, the Gupta dynasty has been alled Abhir&lt;br /&gt;The Kshatriya religion was propounded by Krishna and no reference is found before him. We only find Rajnya as the term alternatively used for it (Bhagwad Gita is emaciated form of hidden knowledge-Gope-which has its root in Shiva). Later on many Kshatriyas were made based on the philosophy of this religion as revealed in Bhagavad Gita. Prominent members among the ancient Yadavas are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Vasudeva father of Krishna&lt;br /&gt;* Krishna&lt;br /&gt;* Kunti sister of Vasudeva and mother of Pandavas and&lt;br /&gt;Karna&lt;br /&gt;* Kamsa a tyrannical king of Mathura, who was killed by&lt;br /&gt;Krishna&lt;br /&gt;* Ugrasen father of Kamsa &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The legend further states that Jarasandh, Kamsa’s father-in-law, and king of Magadha attacked Yadavas to avenge the killing of Kamsa. Yadavas had to shift their capital from Mathura (central India) to Dwaraka (on the western coast of India) on the Arabian Sea. Yaduvanshis are among the five most ancient Aryan groups of Bharata. They mostly follow Hindu religion, and are located in different parts of India, Nepal, and Bangladesh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Major Yadav clans currently include&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Krishnauth (claiming direct lineage from Krishna)&lt;br /&gt;* Manjrauth&lt;br /&gt;* Gaur (also called Goriya, and mentioned in the&lt;br /&gt;Mahabharatha) derived from sanskrit "guh" meaning&lt;br /&gt;mystical and "ur" meaning home or abode (one who is the&lt;br /&gt;abode of mystical powers).&lt;br /&gt;* Ahirs (variously called Ahira and Abhira) are divided&lt;br /&gt;into three major clans: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Yaduvanshi&lt;br /&gt;2. Nandavanshi&lt;br /&gt;3. Gwalvanshi &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also Known as&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Abhirs&lt;br /&gt;* Ahirrao&lt;br /&gt;* Ahirs&lt;br /&gt;* Bhatis&lt;br /&gt;* Gope&lt;br /&gt;* Gaurs&lt;br /&gt;* Ghosals&lt;br /&gt;* Gollas&lt;br /&gt;* Gowdas&lt;br /&gt;* Kurubas&lt;br /&gt;* Pradhans&lt;br /&gt;* Rawals&lt;br /&gt;* Rauts&lt;br /&gt;* Raos&lt;br /&gt;* Surabhirs&lt;br /&gt;* Surasena&lt;br /&gt;* Souryasaini&lt;br /&gt;* Yadavas&lt;br /&gt;* Yadavalu&lt;br /&gt;* Behera, Pradhans in Orissa&lt;br /&gt;* Bharwad in Gujarath&lt;br /&gt;* Bhatrajus (Andhra Pradesh)&lt;br /&gt;* Dhangars (in Maharashtra and Karnataka), having 108&lt;br /&gt;clans&lt;br /&gt;* Edayar (Tamil Nadu)&lt;br /&gt;* Gaurs (also called Goriya, and mentioned in the&lt;br /&gt;Mahabharata)&lt;br /&gt;* Gawlis&lt;br /&gt;* Gadri / Gadariya&lt;br /&gt;* Gaddi&lt;br /&gt;* Golla&lt;br /&gt;* Gouda (Orissa)&lt;br /&gt;* Jadam&lt;br /&gt;* Jambavas&lt;br /&gt;* Jadon&lt;br /&gt;* Kalchuri&lt;br /&gt;* Kone [The Yadava king name] Tamil Nadu&lt;br /&gt;* Konars (Tamil: ??????

The names of the shepherd castes seem to be derived from words meaning sheep. Such is at least the case with Gadaria from 'gadar', on old Hindi word for sheep. Many others of these major groups called castes bear merely tribal or ethic names. Such are for example: Arora, Gujar, Lohana, Bhatia, Mina, Bhil, Dom, Oraon, Munda, Santal, Koch, Ahir, Mahar, Nayar, Maratha, Gond, Khond, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some early inscriptions, dated 1078 and 1090, have implied that the Hoysalas of Mysore were also the descendants of the original Yadava clan, by referring to the Yadava vamsa (clan) as Hoysala vamsa. But there are no records directly linking the Hoysalas to the Yadavas of North India. Calling it 'poetic fancy', William Coelho, author of Hoysala Vamsa, 1950, argues that there is no evidence of even a tradition that traces back their lineage to one of northern origin. S.U. Kamath argues that it was a common practice in royal families of medieval South India to build puranic genealogies. However, J.N. Singh Yadav, a famous historian, gives the following account in his 'YADAVAS THROUGH THE AGES', " The Hoysalas ruled illustriously for over three centuries and have left in the country imperishable monuments of art and culture. They were family of kings who ruled over practically the whole of the kannada country at the height of their power. They scheduled the hill tribes known as Malepas in the Western Ghats and they assumed the title 'Maleparoleganda'. The account of their origin can be traced in some of their inscriptions. They claimed Sosevura (Sasakapura of sanskrit writers) as their birthplace. This place has been identified with Angadi of Mudigere Taluk in chikamanglura district. It has been mentioned as the seen of the incident between Sala and the tiger. When Sala,' an ornament of the Yaduvamsa' (Yaduvamsojvala tilakan) was worshiping the goddess Vasantike of Sasakapura, a tiger came from the forest. The holiman Sodutta, who was there gave him his fan saying 'Poysala(Strike, Sala). Sala killed the tiger. From that time the name of Poysala become the designation of the Yadava kings. Almost the same account, though differing in certain details, is found in many of their inscriptions. According to annother version, when Sala was hunting along the slopes of the Sahya mountains (or the Western Ghats), he was astonished to see a hare (SKt. Sasa) pursuing a tiger, while he was walking alone saying to himself, 'This is heroic soil', a holy muni near by, being afraid of the tiger, called out 'Poy-Sala' and before it could proceed the length of a span Sala slew it with his sword. It is after this incident that the place came to be known as Sasakapura.The founder of the Wodeyar dynasty, Vijaya, also claimed descent from the Yadu and took on the name Yadu-Raya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Pandya kingdom generally associated with the Pandus of the Mahabarata covered the districts of Madura and Tinnivelly as well as certain portions of south Travancore."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It was noted that the pastoral people(Ayar) of the mullai land in Kongu formed the major component of the Vellalar community of the medieval period.It is the Vellalar of Kongu were nothing but the pastoral people of Kongu, ofcourse,with some additions. However, We come across references to Idaiyar of kiranur, alias Kolumam Konda Cholanallur, Kon from the same place, and Yatavar in two epigraphs from Chevur. Further, there are also references to Tiruvayappadi nattar, which indicate the supra-local activities of the herdsmen discussed in chapter. The presence of the herdsmen, with the titles as found in the macro region, may be explained as survivors of the pastoral people of the pre-chola period who were reluctant to integrate themselves in the new setup or new additions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yadav ( not to be misconstrued with Ahirs) is the Rajput clan directly claiming descent from Yadu in the great epic Mahabharat. Lord Krishna was born in Yadu tribe. Ahirs ( a cow herding cast in Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajsthan of India used to rever the lord Krishna, a born Kshatriya. The Ahirs believe that their ancestors walked together with Lord Krishna. Though most Ahirs now use Rajput name of Yadav clan, they are not related in any way to Rajput clans of Yadu/ Jadon Rajputs of Karauli, Dholpur etc in Rasjsthan, UP, Jadeja Rajputs of Gujrat and Bhati Rajputs of Jaisalmer. No matrimonial alliances of Yaduvanshi Rajputs are held with so called Ahir, cow herding cast. As per annals of the earstwhile rulers, Yaduvanshh Rajputs are Chandravansi. History works of Smith and James Tod can be relied in this regard. Moreover, in the records of British empire, which is the most reliable record, Ahirs are altogerhter different lots. As per the most authentic 1931 Census condcuted by the British Indian Governement in India, which was the only census conducted on the basis of castes prevalent in India at that time, Ahirs with so many gotras were different from the Yaduvanshis. The fact that Lord Krishna was born to Yadu kshtriyas is borne out in the Mahabharat according to which HE was the son of Vasudeva and Devaki and for fear of being killed by Kamsa of Mathura, Vasudeva had taken him to Nanda Baba and Yasoda who belonged to Ahir caste, a cow herding caste.These so called Ahirs became his followers. Only Since last 30 years, suddenly, the politicians from Ahir caste started using surname " Yadav". As per Rig veda and Various Purans and many historical works available in India, Yaduvanshi and Chandravanshi are Yadus( Jadon found in western UP, Jadeja of Gujrat, Bhatis of Rajsthan, jharejas, Banaphars of Mahobas, Dabi ( Rajsthan) Kharbad Rajput of Udaipur; Khagar of Atri Gotra found in districts of jhansi, Hamirpur, Jalon of UP, Hoysal of Dwar samudra whose capital was Belapur, , Sighel Rajput( Kashyap gotriya) found in Azamgarh district of UP and Chhapra, Bhagalpur, Mujjafarpur district of Bihar are some of the Yaduvanshi Rajputs and are recongnised as such by all the Rajput castes/clans in India.Yaduvanshi Rajputs in UP have Thikans in Aligarh,Awagarh of Etah UP, Somna,Hasnagarh, Kole ( Aligarh), Secunderabad, Shamasabad, Ghiror and mustafabad in Mainpuri. Raja Balwant Singh of Awagarh, a Jadon Rajput, set up Raja Balawant Singh College in Agra and helped Guru Rabindra Nath Tagore in setting up Shantinketkan University. Dullipsingh of Jamnagar after whom is named Dulip trophy in Cricket, Ranjitsingh after whom is named Ranjit trophy in Crciket are Yaduvansi Rajputs of Jadeja/ Jadon clan of Rajputs and are classified as one of 36 clans of Rajputs in the history and in his work by James Tod also. Chandrchud singh of Aligarh who is hero in Indian cinema is Jadon Rajput.These Yaduvansi Rajput clans do not marry the Ahirs! Yayati's first wife Devayani bore a son named Durvasu ( or Rigvedic Turvasus tribe. The descendents of Durvasu are called Durvasu Rajputs and Chandravansi. Yayati's second wife Sharmishta gave birth to eldest son named Drahayu. The Descendents of his are called Drahayu Rajputs who ruled in Bengal, Assam and Tripura and still found there. Anu Rajputs who are descendents of Anu, second son of Sharmistha, second wife of Yayati, set up Ushinar shivi, Kakaya pradesh etc. As per annals and governement records of British period, Ahirs are shown as differetn caste and in no way connected with the Yaduvanshi Rajputs!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yadavas are the single largest community in India, estimated to constitute more than 19% of the Indian population. In terms of sheer numbers, this translates to 200 million people, prompting some people to state that Yadavas are not merely a community but a "nation" in themselves. Through numerous political parties, such as the Samajwadi Party, Rashtriya Janata Dal, Janata Dal (United), Janata Dal (Secular) and Tamil Makkal Desam (Tamil Nadu), this caste has considerable political influence, especially in the governments of India's most populous states, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Madhya Pradesh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yadavs, though being Kshatriyas, in certain parts of India are classified by the respective governments as Other Backward Classes, or OBCs. This classification stems from their prevailing general economic and educational condition. The Yadavas are linked to Krishna and several ruling families, such as the ancient kings of Prayag, the Yadavas of Devagiri, the Nandas, the Wodeyars of Mysore and more recently that of Rao Tularam of Haryana, one of the leading figures of the First War of Independence (1857) in India.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yadavs are the purest form of all aryan blood anywhere in the world, if you look into historical point of view alone there are various indicators that yadavs are the only arya clan that has refrence in pre-vedic rig vedic period or post indus valley that is abt. 2500 BC,they along with the bharata clan(i.e various kings mentioned in epic mahabharat) were two of most powerful tribes or clans of aryans most of the stories are mythological the scale of the war as depicted as depicted in the epic was highly romanticized but excavations have confirmed that were skirmishes in large number at different places right at the time when aryans were trying to settle the plains of indus and ganga, while the bharta tribe mixed with the natives, dravidian, tribal groups, and the pre-aryan people i.e the people of harrapan and indus valley culture and they formed a new nation. BHARAT(official name of india in constitution) i.e. INDIA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;most of the people in india today belong to mixed lineage of ancient bharat tribe and the natives of pre-aryan india. brahmans and baniyas(vaishyas). are the cross between bharats and the natives. shudras were pure blooded natives or tribals, so brahmans, baniyas(vaishya), and shudra were of natives tribal lineage this shows in their practising of some of the pre aryan gods like shiva.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yadavs were the only known khshatriyas(i.e warriors) in early vedic times, only there name is mentioned in all the scriptures found around 3rd millenium B.C. none of the rajput clan has mentions in aryan text not even at times of alexander, neither at chandra(candra) gupta, nor at asoka, kanishka, guptas, samudragupta, harsha, nowhere they have their names mentioned one times so they cant be the ancient noble fearless mighty warriors 'khshatriyas' it can only be "ahir" or "aheer" or "abhir" meaning fearing the none, or nothing can make them feel uneasy, or the one who never stress abt. anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;rajputs got mentioned in history only in 1st millenium BC so its unfair to say yadavs are rajput, rajputs descended from huns of asia very late. jus before rise of islam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;jatt,gujjars, rao, chaudhary ,phatans both hindu and muslims evolved out of yadavs family as most have this millitary inclinations and closely related to warfare activities always since middle ages jus after coming of islam. thes are basically yadav tribes as they have also been proved to be having pure blood aryan descendency by DNA testing of castes of south asia. which got influenced in the moghul muslim period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Afhganistan and NWFP and present day punjab in pakistan has seen yadav king porus (puru) who stunned alexander with his bravery as when he was captured he was asked by alexander that how should be he treated he said treat me like a soldier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;for thousand years yadav groups ruled most of the NWFP(pakistan), Afghanistan, central asia, khazakhstan, uzbekstan, kirghizstan, tadhzikstan, even some part of tibet china and nepal. kanishka was said to be of mongloian - yadav descendancy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of the yadavs today belong to this ancinet warrior aryan caste unlike the bharats, most yadavs descended from one common group of warrior clan abt. 3rd millenium B.C.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;they spread to most of the country using different last names all of them are member of one common yadav aryan family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Allahabad iron pillar inscription of Samudragupta (fourth century A.D) mentions the Abhiras as one of the tribal states of west and south west India, who paid homage to the emperor. A fourth century (A.D) inscription found in Nashik speaks of an Abhira king, and there is proof that in the middle of the fourth century the Abhiras were settled in eastern Rajputana and Malwa. Similarly, when the Kathis arrived in Gujarat in the eighth century, they found the greater part of the country in the possession of the Ahirs. The Mirzapur district of the United Provinces has a tract known as Ahraura, named after the Ahir, and near Jhansi, another piece of country was called Ahirwar. The Ahirs were also kings of Nepal at the beginning of the Christian era. Khandesh and the Tapti valley were other regions where they were kings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This indicates that the Abhiras, who rose to political prominence in the second century B.C., had a chequered political career until the fourtheenth century A.D when their importance was over-shadowed by the Mughals, but even during the Mughal period the Ahir and Golla rajahs were a power to be reckoned with. The Gavlis rose to political power in Deogarh, on the Chhindwara Plateau in the central provinces. The Saugar traditions traced down the Gavli supremacy to a much later date, as the tracts of Etawa and Khurai are held to have been governed by the chieftains till the close of the seventeenth century. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although the Abhiras constituted a distinct ethnic group, they spoke diverse regional dialects. The language of the Ahirs was known as Ahirani in Khandesh, resembling Marathi. While the Ahirs of Kathiawad and Kachh have a dialect which resembles Gujarathi. Abhira bhasha is in fact considered to be Apabhransha. In the ninth century B.C., it had become the language of the people, and was spoken from Saurashtra to Magadh, and Shastri proves that poetry was composed in the language around the sixth century B.C. Suryavamsi mentions the following two dialects in addition to the ones above--Gaddi, which is currently the dialect spoken in Gadderan, on the outskirts of the Chamba and Kangra hills, and Gandi, spoken in some parts of Madhya Pradesh. Abhiri as a dialect has been recorded by Sanskrit poets such as Bharata and Dandin. Yadav , notes that the dialect the people of Ahirwal in Haryana speak, has a resemblance to Rajasthani, and Grierson, considers Ahirwati a branch of eastern Rajasthani and western Hindi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Legends of the cowherd Krishna and his dances with cowherdesses are mentioned in the Sangam classics. The term Ayarpati (cowherd settlement) is found in Cilappatikaram. It is argued that the term Ayar has been used for the Abhiras in ancient Tamil literature, derives Abhira from the Tamil word Ayir which also means cow. He equates the Ayars with Abhiras, and Suryavamsi treats this as evidence of migration of the Abhiras to the south in the first century A.D.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus, linguistic evidence is used to support the argument that the Abhiras spread to different parts of India, and that they retained different but related cultural traditions. The most common denominator, as was pointed out earlier, was a descent from the Yadu dynasty and their association with cattle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Religious Seats of Yadavas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides chiefdoms and jagirs, the Yadavas had peethams (seats) granted to them by virtue of their religious powers. For instance, there were fourteen seats (peethams) among the Yadavas of Warangal according to a sanad granted in 1425 (Shaka Samvat), by Sree Pratapa Rudra, Maharaja of Warangal, to sree Kondiah Guru, as the head of the fourteen seats. Subsequently when Bhagyanagar was founded by Sultan Abdulla of Kutub Shahi in A.D. 1560 the rights of the yadavas were acknowledged and recognized, and the name Golkonda was substituted for Manugal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the charter awarded by the Sultan Abdulla of Kutub Shahi in 1071 Hijri, Kondiah built the fort for the Sultan by using his charisma in resolving the mystery of the site, and also discovered for him gold coins buried underground. In return, the Sultan gave him the Charter conferring upon Kondiah the rights and privileges due to the head of the fourteen seats, and of twelve classes of Gollas and two classes of shepherds (Kuruba Gollas). Kondiah, although a follower of Basaveshwara (Lingayat), was the head of the Yadava Peethams. Perhaps the Gollas at this time were under the influence of Veerasaivism, although they were incorporated into the Yadava category.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Political influence&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through numerous political parties such as the Samajwadi Party, Rashtriya Janata Dal, Janata Dal (Republic), Janata Dal (Communal) and Makkal Tamil Desam (Tamil Nadu), the Yadavs have considerable political influence, especially in the North Indian states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.

Gajjar &lt;bgajjar@comcast.net&gt;  Fri, Jan 21, 2011 at 2:11 PM  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;----- Original Message ----- &lt;br /&gt;From: Ram Agrawal &lt;br /&gt;To: undisclosed recipients&lt;br /&gt;Sent: Friday, January 21, 2011 3:08 PM&lt;br /&gt;Subject: Fw: H I N D U 's &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Francois Gautier &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is there such a thing as 'Hindu terrorism', as the arrest of Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur for the Malegaon blasts may tend to prove? Well, I guess I was asked to write this column because I am one of that rare breed of foreign correspondents — a lover of Hindus! A born Frenchman, Catholic-educated and non-Hindu, I do hope I'll be given some credit for my opinions, which are not the product of my parents' ideas, my education or my atavism, but garnered from 25 years of reporting in South Asia (for Le Journal de Geneve and Le Figaro). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the early 1980s, when I started freelancing in south India, doing photo features on Kalaripayattu, the Ayyappa festival, or the Ayyanars, I slowly realised that the genius of this country lies in its Hindu ethos, in the true spirituality behind Hinduism. The average Hindu you meet in a million villages possesses this simple, innate spirituality and accepts your  diversity, whether you are Christian or Muslim, Jain or Arab, French or Chinese. It is this Hinduness that makes the Indian Christian different from, say, a French Christian, or the Indian Muslim unlike a Saudi Muslim. I also learnt that Hindus not only believed that the divine could manifest itself at different times, under different names, using different scriptures (not to mention the wonderful avatar concept, the perfect answer to 21st century religious strife) but that they had also given refuge to persecuted minorities from across the world—Syrian Christians, Parsis, Jews, Armenians, and today, Tibetans.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;In 3,500 years of existence, Hindus have never militarily invaded another country, never tried to impose their religion on others by force or induced conversions. You cannot find anybody less fundamentalist than a Hindu in the world and it saddens me when I see the Indian and western press equating terrorist groups like SIMI, which blow up innocent civilians, with ordinary, angry Hindus who burn churches without killing anybody. We know also that most of these communal incidents often involve persons from the same groups—often Dalits and tribals—some of who have converted to Christianity and others not. However reprehensible the destruction of Babri Masjid, no Muslim was killed in the process; compare this to the 'vengeance' bombings of 1993 in Bombay, which wiped out hundreds of innocents, mostly Hindus. Yet the Babri Masjid destruction is often described by journalists as the more horrible act of the two. We also remember how Sharad Pawar, when he was chief minister of Maharashtra in 1993, lied about a bomb that was supposed to have gone off in a Muslim locality of Bombay.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I have never been politically correct, but have always written what I have discovered while reporting. Let me then be straightforward about this so-called Hindu terror. Hindus, since the first Arab invasions, have been at the receiving end of terrorism, whether it was by Timur, who killed 1,00,000 Hindus in a single day in 1399, or by the Portuguese Inquisition which crucified Brahmins in Goa. Today, Hindus are still being targeted: there were one million Hindus in the Kashmir valley in 1900; only a few hundred remain, the rest having fled in terror. Blasts after blasts have killed hundreds of innocent Hindus all over India in the last four years. Hindus, the overwhelming majority community of this country, are being made fun of, are despised, are deprived of the most basic facilities for one of their most sacred pilgrimages in Amarnath while their government heavily sponsors the Haj. They see their brothers and sisters converted to Christianity through inducements and financial traps, see a harmless 84-year-old swami and a sadhvi brutally murdered. Their gods are blasphemed. So sometimes, enough is enough.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;At some point, after years or even centuries of submitting like sheep to slaughter, Hindus—whom the Mahatma once gently called cowards—erupt in uncontrolled fury. And it hurts badly. It happened in Gujarat. It happened in Jammu, then in Kandhamal, Mangalore, and Malegaon. It may happen again elsewhere. What should be understood is that this is a spontaneous revolution on the ground, by ordinary Hindus, without any planning from the political leadership. Therefore, the BJP, instead of acting embarrassed, should not disown those who choose other means to let their anguished voices be heard.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;There are about a billion Hindus, one in every six persons on this planet. They form one of the most successful, law-abiding and integrated communities in the world today. Can you call them terrorists?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Francois Gautier&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13801763-5407466796031922106?l=agrasen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/feeds/5407466796031922106/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13801763&amp;postID=5407466796031922106' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/5407466796031922106'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13801763/posts/default/5407466796031922106'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://agrasen.blogspot.com/2011/01/hindus-francois-gauthier.html' title='HINDUS - FRANCOIS GAUTHIER'/><author><name>SHER SINGH AGRAWAL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14955014952419938340</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13801763.post-2147648842817928065</id><published>2011-01-21T04:01:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-21T04:02:44.175-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Amitabh bachchan loves Rajeev Sri....</title><content type='html'>SHER AGRAWAL &lt;agrasen@gmail.com&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;[proudHindu] Amitabh Bachchan loves Rajeev Srinivasan's article&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;viji &lt;viji123@yahoo.com&gt;  Fri, Jan 21, 2011 at 3:34 AM  &lt;br /&gt;Reply-To: proudHindu@yahoogroups.com &lt;br /&gt;To: viji &lt;viji123@yahoo.com&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Dear Friends&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Great news!!
