Asif Zardari featured on Indian National Congress Ad | |
|

|

 Well, not quite, but if that happened, it would be in the same league as this one.This GOI advertisement came out on the National Girl Child day, released by the Ministry of Child and Women Development under Krishna Tirath of Congress. The first thing that strikes you is how amateurish the composition is. A high school student could compose a better ad and write better copy too. Most of the real estate is taken up by post-modernist blocks of color, an advertisement against female foeticide features mostly successful male icons (including the Pakistan Air Force general, of course). The ad is clearly off message. It is also way off target, people who can read that ad usually do not kill their girl children. It is admirable that the Government takes up such a strident stand against this social malaise but haven't we done just about enough on this particular issue? We have legislated the heck out of it, there is no dearth of jhollawalla funds or enforcement. Yet, clearly Government action is unable to make a reasonable dent on the problem. On the other hand, is the problem as big as it is made out to be? Reports indicate female foeticide is fairly common in the Southern parts. Reports also indicate in male-female ratio, China does far worse than India. Obviously, this is a secondary problem that can not be easily fixed by running bogus color ads on English language newspapers. On the other hand, it does provide two essential services - provide employment to extended members of the family (ad design, publishing, copy writing, printing etc.) and a moral cudgel to a group of people whose sole purpose in life appears to be to pick faults within other religions. We recommend the Ministry of Child and Women Development to expend at least some resources to other areas. We do not see Hindu priests or religious leaders advocate female foeticide, in fact many of them are vocally against it. What we do see are advertisements for Arab Pardha adorning billboards in major cities in Kerala.

Find a Kashmir Hindu around you, he will tell you the significance of January 19. It was exactly 20 years ago to the day when all hell broke loose in the valley of Kashmir on the peaceful, patriotic community of Kashmiri Hindus. This is just one example, albeit the most heartbreaking one. Any reasonable person would see this as a pattern that repeats with deadly predictability when certain conditions are met. In this world and in this fight we stand alone.

Did Kashmir separatist leader Yasin Malik really commit a rape? | |
|
||
|
||
|
 Yasin Malik with his brand new Pakistani wife (backstory) That Aman ki Asha thing between The Times Group and the Jang (literally "war") group of Pakistan? Not going well. Had we not known about The Times of India's seemingly endless appetite for self-parody, we would have called the exercise totally redundant. As far as we can tell, the peace process between India and Pakistan isn't stalled for lack of candle light vigils or goofy editorials. Within days of announcing the citizen-to-citizen over social media and web peace gesture, we had: ... or, if you prefer, business as usual with that country. Anyway, we digress. The peace initiative had a two day conference in New Delhi, with delegates from Pakistan flown in. Guess who was one of the keynote speakers? Yasin Malik. According to reports, the separatist leader was delivering a key-note speech on the road map towards peace between the two hostile nations, when he was interrupted by some unidentified youths. What started as a normal interaction with the JKLF leader soon turned out to be an altercation where in Malik was accused of supporting anti-India activities, misguiding people and politicising sensational issues just in the name of building peace. Now, rolling out the red carpet for the enemies of the country is not a terribly new thing for our secular people, but we were stunned at the serious allegation leveled at Malik. Sure enough, a google search throws up several hits which make the allegation, including detailed analysis and even the name of the victim. There is no way to corroborate the story, it is not like Indian media will report anything like that. So, did he or didn't he? Knowing what we know about the man, we certainly won't put it beyond him.

Just how broken is the Mid-Day meal scheme? | |
|
||
|
||
|
 Poor: adjective, -er, -est, noun1. having little or no money, goods, or other means of support: a poor family living on welfare. [Applies to: NDA Regime] Remember poor folks? The kind that used to show up on front pages of newspapers every now and then during the NDA regime? Well, they disappeared again. No more editorials lamenting poverty etc. from the career socialists either. Anyway, we digress. One of the flagship schemes of the UPA 1.0 Govt much loved by socialists is the mid-day meal scheme. So, we did a quick google news search to see how the scheme is doing:
Oh, by the way, did you know there is actually a Mid-Day Meal Scheme Workers Union? Meanwhile, MDM Scheme Workers Union led by its district president Babaji Parida organized a dharna in front of the collectorate demanding the government to supply pulses, cooking gas and vegetables along with rice to the implementing agencies and pay salaries regularly. Obviously, none of the water carriers of social justice will show any interest whatsoever in these stories. This is how the whole thing is supposed to work. It is simply amazing how quickly any socialist scheme assumes a mammoth bureaucratic structure, grows unionized work force and then suddenly starts running out of money. As discussed before, the only places where the mid-day meal scheme is reasonably working is where a public-private partnership exists. Even in that example, since the organization running the scheme is ostensibly a Hindu charitable trust, it ran into other types of trouble - apparently serving children a full nutritious meal of Daal, Rice and Sabzi is Hindutva indoctrination! Eyeballing this sad state of affairs, it looks like completely broken doesn't even begin to describe the problem, it is so bad that we are seriously jeopardizing the health of millions of children to not only just malnutrition but also to serious type of food poisoning. The kids are obviously better off bringing whatever food their parents can afford. We just don't believe that parents who can spare their children for school can not spend 44 paise on their meals.

Tribals see through Human Rights Mafia | |
|
||
|
||
|
It is just incredible that these human rights activists were actually on their way to participate in a "people's court". The Naxals have basically four uses for villages. They hit them for recruiting soldiers (often using coercion and threat), food, shelter and women. The people's courts are used to settle issues like who were the "informers" and so on and so forth. It is no secret that most of the so called Human Rights Activism is media propaganda aided by astro turfed crowd financed by NGOs (paid by YOU). The only regret we have out of this incident is that Genocide Suzie was not on the scene. Readers will recall that in recent interviews she can't seem to stop boasting about her visits to Dantewada. Go ahead Suzie, visit Dantewada again, the tribals are waiting for ya.

Resist "Global Governance" - your life may depend on it | |
|
||
|
||
|
 Read this and weep:
In the context of the Global Warming scam, we briefly touched upon the subject of "World Government". For those unfamiliar with the concept, basically the initial draft text of Copenhagen had this apparently innocuous reference to "World Government". A big problem with the Indian media and indeed media in many developing countries is that, they filter out anything other than the Left-Liberal opinion from the developed nations, which means anything right of The Guardian magazine never reaches a large proportion of the global public. The public thus comes to accept an incomplete and highly distorted image as the consensus opinion of the West. People in India do not know that the Australian senate recently rejected a carbon trading scheme. They are not aware that just a few days ago, the French declared a newly enacted carbon tax law unconstitutional. A cap and trade style legislation has practically no chance of passing in the US senate, of course that may change. The sinister idea of World Government must be summarily rejected by the people of India, because it will mean becoming colonized all over again. However, a section of people in India will make out like bandits, for a glimpse of this sinister crowd, please peruse this link at leisure. The people who can come up with this audacious plan are the sort that keep coming back for seconds, as they will when they reconvene for another round of tamasha at Mexico City. The UPA Government wants to jump on to this bandwagon because through it they can rule India indefinitely. We feel so strongly about this threat to our freedom that we added this to the banner of our blog: Resist "Global Governance"

India's "insecure" minorities | |

This piece of news was not meant for public consumption, but it made it to you anyway. What you don't know, couldn't possibly hurt you, at least not in the immediate future, subject to abrupt changes of course. By the time news reaches you, several filters get applied. Some of it does not reach you at all, or, sometimes when they do reach you, they get sanitized by the "style guides". For instance, once the news factory churns out the above piece of news, it becomes something like this:
See, how easy it is? "Haj Pilgrims" become "unruly fliers", like they say, news is like sausage, you don't wanna know how it's made. At least you know the broad outline of how this one panned out, including how the security personnel made no attempt whatsoever trying to rescue the crew. What you don't know is just how much never makes it beyond the editorial desks. You didn't hear about Miraj riots, perhaps you didn't hear about violent stone and bottle pelting at oncoming cars at Mahim during Muharram either. If this is the state of news reporting, when secular blowhards like Harsh Mander and Ram Puniyani etc. add their spin, you really start to feel guilty. The truth of course is stranger and harsher than their fiction. The docile "minority" cowering under the glare of majorities is mostly a myth. Actually, it is quite the reverse. Most people are constantly afraid when the short fuse is gonna ignite. It can happen anywhere, anytime, for any reason and sometimes no reason at all. Mobile phones have made it better, earlier used to be many anxious moments spent by family members. It is not just a case of a few rotten apples. The whole basket is so far gone that by the time crooked opportunistic secular politicos realize it, it is going to be too late. Happy New Year. Stay alert, stay safe.
