From Original R.Pai on Mumbai: Couples picked up from hotel rooms, charged with 'public indecency'

It’s hilarious to see two clueless characters, AS mathew and Sharia Shaikh, blaming this all Sri Modiji. Didn’t we have Karnataka police raiding hotels for ‘indecent’ dances ? By the way, I would like to know if Sharia Shaikh and Mathews support watching Porn and premarital sex with consenting adults (same or opposite sex)? LOL For the record, I fully support adults doing whatever they want in their privacy with other consenting adults. State has no business in our personal life. As a libertarian, I cringe every time I read about police raids on what they call ‘indecent’ behavior!!! My views are very clear, consistent and honest unlike other partisan hacks and religious bigots on this forum.

Original Duplicate claims, “As a libertarian, I cringe every time I read about police raids on what they call ‘indecent’ behavior!!! My views are very clear, consistent and honest unlike other partisan hacks and religious bigots on this forum.” But, his guilty feeling prompts him to conclude his post by a self certification, “My views are very clear, consistent and honest”. Yes, his libertarianism ends where Hindu Moral Policing begins!

From shaiKH MOhd Rizwan on Mumbai: Couples picked up from hotel rooms, charged with 'public indecency'

Dear readers, This youngsters looking for privacy overwhelmingly voted RSS political wing BJP to power with big hopes and modern India copying the west.Now just more than year in office by PM Modi and his state cronies acting to implement Taliban rule every they step. Earlier they reverse the porn ban due to young public outcry. This Sabka saath sabka vikas government will only act where there is political interest and vote bank. The BJP can reverse its stand citing freedom of expression but at the same time the state is infringing on the freedom of communities to consume food of their choice. As per the BJP claims on beef eating can enrage anger and challenge the modesty.But the party seems relaxed to the rule when its own Lawmakers caught porn watching in the middle of session. How does PM Modi’s government will assure the women of India ‘rape don’t occur in Bharat but in India’ ? By lifting the ban on porn what is the message it want to give to the women empowerment? How does safety of women is ensured if porn can be avilable to any age limit? Jai Hind

From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Mangaluru: NABH Grants Accreditation for Father Muller Medical College Hospital

Accredition in favor of Fr. Muller’s Hospital was a long awaited desire. Finally the day has arrived. Congratulations to Fr. Patrick and all the rest of the team who have strived so hard to maintain the standard as well as the quality of the well deserving Institution such as Fr. Mullers for all that they have dedicated. The legacy of Fr. Mullers and all Directors and the workforce deserve this auspicious award. The Diocese of Mangalore is the ultimate beneficiary of this recognition. Bishop Aloysius has strived so long to make this Institution a world class Medical Institution. Thru his leadership and determination Fr. Mullers were also privileged to have the Medical College that has progressed so well with hundreds of students Graduated. The learning process in the field of Medicine also gets a share of the dedication for the patients and the rest of the staff. Congratulations once again, and God bless

From Drona on Mangaluru: Dance Guru Master Vithal Passes away at 89

He used to live close to Besant school. I remember seeing him almost every day while attending primary school in the sixties. If I remember right he also had trained UK Arun Kumar who was the son of UK Krishna Rao. U K Arun Kumar was a talented actor who tried his hand in Kannada movies but did not succeed there. It is sad to hear about the passing of Master Vittal who has trained so many. The old generation of Mangalore is slowly fading. May his soul rest in eternal peace.

Very disturbing! This reminds me of a Christian teacher in Kerala who lost his hands for breaking the unofficial sharia imposed all over India. I’m glad to see that Malekudiya community coming together to fight for justice. Unfortunately the Kerala lecturer was fired from his job and abandoned by his own community. This is the India in 2015!! How sad!

Glad to see that the water service is being restored. Now the real question is – Would they ever find the real culprits and punish them? Would they learn lessons from this incident and do more inspection of supply lines on regular basis? Kannur being one of the ‘vote bank’ locations, I doubt if Congress will ever find the real culprits. Also, if past is any indication, our officials never learn from past mistakes. In other words, nothing will change!!

From Henry James on Udupi: Fishermen hold Massive Protest Rally against Transfer of Diesel Subsidy to Bank Accounts

Even though I have nothing against the fishermen community, I have little empathy for their cause. Whether they are forced to do it or not, all the good catch gets exported to big cities, restaurants and foreign countries, and the ordinary people in the coastal region are forced to be content with ನಂಗ್, ಕುರ್ಚಿ, ಅಡೆ ಮೀನ್,ಕಲ್ಲರ್, ಬೊಂಜಿಲ್, red-eyed ಬೂತೈ etc. No slice-able fish for the common folks. If ever there is any pomfret, ಕಾಣೆ or some “upper-class” fish on the day, one Pereira aunty with her red-lips and half blouse will swoop in out of nowhere and throw a couple of Gandhi notes and price out the rest of the customers. So, in all fairness, please ask those Pereira aunties to come and fight for your cause. I am sure they are on their toes eager to help you out.

From Drona on Thulla effect: Plaint against Aamir over 'PK'

It was very interesting to watch Arnab Goswamy having a debate or trying to have a debate with a panel which consisted of Indian and Pakistani sides. The Pakistani side was very noisy from the word go. They down right rejected allegations on them even though it was mentioned that there was GPS proof. I wonder why bother having debate or dialogue with that rogue nation or the army chiefs of that rogue nation. I doubt if they have any government by the way. What emerged out of the meeting is that some organisations such as Babbar Khallsa and other such organisations ran into Pakistan during operation blue star in 1984. They are still hiding there. Pakistan tries to play proxy war by sending[b] mercenaries through the border. The aim seems to be to disturb peace and create confusion. These Pakistani thullas will never succeed in their motives. The Sardarji panelist told them that Punjab police is enough to topple Pakistani infiltrators. They even refuse to acknowledge that the super scum aka Kasa[b] is from that God Forsaken cursed land. Only milk shaikers and movers may support such a pathetic excuse for a nation.

From Anand Dsilva on Abolish The Death Penalty!

For strange reason I am not convinced that Yakub Memon was hanged. While I am not completely against death penalty for eg: Kasab or perhaps Nirbhaya Delhi rapists I will not have any remorse for them. For Yakub Memon I think based on his interview that he voluntarily surrendered or perhaps contemplating surrender in the hope that law would be lenient and ultimately he will be able to clear his name and live a free life. Perhaps he was indirectly involved in some logistical work but may have did it half heartedly.

From A. S. Mathew on Why is buying a house a bad investment today?

The world ” real estate” made the customers to think that land and houses are infallible reality of the market, but it is quite contrary to that assumption. When the recession was hit on the U.S., it was hit straight at reality market at first, then its domino effect began to spread across. While watching the plunged property values in some States of the U.S. like Nevada, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Michigan etc, it will surprise us all; and the mere false confidence in the real estate market is now openly challenged. In the State of Georgia alone, 72 major and minor bags went under, which was the highest in the nation. The great depression of 1929 was caused basically upon the extreme saving mentality of the people. But, the recession which was started by the end of 2007 end in the U.S., then began to spread to the Eurozone countries, then to China and now affected every nook and corner of the world was through another misguided trend of the consumers all over the world. Since 1980, the consumers began to live beyond their income; thus began to live in debt and the financial industries began to loan money to millions of unworthy lenders. The wealth of the world began to shift from the middle class to the rich corporations and the rich people, thus the extreme polarization of the wealth was taking place which was not noticed by anybody. 85 richest billionaires of the world have more material assets than half of the world population at the lower level, that is 3.6 billion people. 1% of the richest people in the U.S. is holding 95% of the wealth. How this formula can work out for long? Now the world economy is moving like a rudderless ship in a wild ocean. The plunging of the oil price, commodity prices, gold etc are finally going to hit the skyrocketed real estate price all over the world, especially in India. And its aftermath will be hitting the Banking industry very severely. The oil producing countries, due to the very high inflated oil price became too rich, the consumer countries lost trillions of dollars. Now, that scenario will be rapidly changing. Expatriates working in Saudi Arabia is 9.1 million, Bharain .7 million, Kuwait 2.4, Qatar 1.9, UAE 8 million. The foreign remittance by the people working in those countries is follows. India $ 36.2 billion, Egypt 13 billion, Philillians 10.3, Pakistan 8.7 b, Bangadesh 7.3 bill. Those countries mainly depending upon the foreign remittance in their nation budget are Yemon 86%, Egypt 73%, Jordan 66%, Sudan 63%, Pakistan 59%, Nepal 57% and Bengaldesh 53%. As the oil and commodity prices are plunging, the real estate value plunging in the Asian countries would be very critical, and that will repeat another Wall St. drama of 2008 in the Asian countries.

From Stephen on Why is buying a house a bad investment today?

A. S. Mathew, your comments to certain extent are correct but some figures are incorrect. For example the total UAE population is under 7 million and expatriates are roughly 80%, so you have the figures. What do you mean by 72 major and minor bags went under, you mean banks, well US had far too many banks than required, hence it was a good correction I suppose. Oil prices are currently low and expected to touch $40 per BBL in the short term and eventually expected to climb to $65 to $85 range, currently economies are at lower end of the bell curve and change is expected. At the current Oil prices Indian property rate are holding, when Oil prices start climbing, prices will climb, India is stage animal as every Indian wants to buy at least one house unlike other parts of the world. So those who have cautiously invested in realty and specially in land will have no cause to worry.

From drona on Abolish The Death Penalty!

‘Legal Murder’ Fr Cedric Prakash seems to be an expert in coining new words. Rajnath Singh, please take note. I would like to hear from Fr Cedric Praksh, what the government of the day in 1993 should have done. Why did Sharad Pawar let the opportunity slip? Was he afraid that some skeletons will fall from his cup board too? Finger pointing is rampant and Fr Cedric Praksh is no exception to this unfortunately. I dare Fr Cedric Prakash to avail a Cong I ticket from Mehsaana and contest the elections next time around. He will lose the deposit.

“Kadri Inspector Nagaraj Should be arrested within 3 days” some unknown in black robe. Here is my question – If Kadri Inspector had assaulted an young advocate, why can’t you press charges and settle this in court of law? Why demand instant justice? On the other hand, don’t they have security cameras in Police stations these days? Why can’t police make the video footage public and take appropriate action on whoever was on wrong side? The whole situation stinks!!

Dear Original R Paimaam of US, the questions raised by you need response to alley the misunderstanding on the points involved. I do not hold any brief for that unknown person, but the demands made by the advocates are not improper. What the advocates want is not “instant justice” as you made it out to be. They wanted the police to be arrested, pending investigation, as is done by the police to the common man. What is wrong in it? You asked why the police do not make public the video footage of the incident. If the police are the wrong doers they would not make it public. And not making it public is the prima facie evidence that the police are the wrong doers! Sir, you said, “The whole situation stinks!!” I hope now you are in a better position to locate where the stink is.

From Original R.Pai on Abolish The Death Penalty!

I have to commend ‘R J’ for laying out a strong case in favor of death penalty. He/She has done a great job of addressing each argument by the opponents without any exaggeration, insults or ‘oggarane’. However, I am not convinced by his/her case for the following reasons. 1. I guess I belong to the second category who oppose death penalty mainly because of its irreversible nature. Now, one can argue that any form of punishment is irreversible. In a way, it is true. Time lost is lost. However, there is something profoundly irreversible when it comes to death in human experience. It’s final and end. Plus, the chances of innocent guys getting punished is not one of those ‘rarest of rare’ thing as studies have shown over and over again. Let’s take the most recent examples from India – Afzhal Guru, Kasab and Yakub Menon. Out of these three cases, only one case (Kasab) was very solid. Other two were not so clear and that’s precisely why it took years and years before they were hanged. Also, one has to consider other factors like political pressure and nationalistic jingoism. In other words, ‘rarest of rare’ can also be misused and it can come under serious questioning as we witnessed in Guru and Menon cases. 2. It doesn’t make sense to keep death penalty because some of the criminals happen to ‘suicide bombers’. The behavior of criminals or their values shouldn’t influence what judiciary does. 3. The notion that people are law abiding in advanced countries is also flawed one. It changes from location to location. For example, Chicago has some of the best suburban communities within 15 mins of drive from some of the notorious neighborhoods known for daily shootings and murders! But, the bigger point is – you don’t come up with a punishment based on overall bad behavior of a society. The main purpose of punishment is to deter/discourage people from committing crimes. However, this has to be done in a fair and balanced way so the public trust the system, not suspect it. Death penalty doesn’t deter the real criminals, instead it creates a huge fear in the minds of law abiding folks.

“So you are ok to kill people who have the intent to harm others before they commit the crime but you do not agree with it after they commit it and cause misery to hundreds?” – H.James, Dear friend, You are misrepresenting my views. In doing so, you have made it clear that you do not understand the difference between self-defense and judiciary sanctioned punishment. Let me explain again – Police or a soldier will shoot and kill a person when he is seen as a threat. For example, if a person charges at police wielding a knife or gun, they will have to use lethal force to neutralize him. Same way, when you are engaged in a war with enemy forces, you assume that every person you come in contact is a potential threat to your life and you try to kill him. HOWEVER, if you clearly know the person is not a threat (unarmed, injured, subdued or surrendered), you don’t kill him. He will be handed over to appropriate authorities and face the justice system. This is why I never supported police encounters (euphemism for illegal executions by Police) as I find them totally illegal and immoral. So, there is no debate when it comes to self-defense. The real debate starts after judiciary takes over the process and the question is – Do we have the right to put an individual to death ? Well, you know my answer.

From Samuel Sequeira on Udupi: 'Salaam' to Kalam! School in Kunjibettu Sets Example by Remaining Open on Sunday

President Kalam was an epitome of Indian spirit where people of multiple religious backgrounds acquire the best from one another and grow into a unique people. Except for the fundamentalist religious groups claiming exclusive value for themselves, majority of the Indians exhibit the spirit of India everywhere. The world appreciates it and values it. To celebrate this spirit it would be great if an extra day dedicated to work according to Dr Kalam’s wish. Whoever proposes it has seen the value of it and the kind of secular person Kalam was. Hence, all should join this call and celebrate his spirit of Indianness. By doing so we give a serious message to the feudal minds of the political pygmies that they are mere insignificant opportunists who do not deserve the respect that they claim and force upon people to accept it. And this holiday culture to celebrate death is a national loss which the politicians think a cheap give away to people whom they think are idiots. Such attitude needs defying. This is the opportunity.

The Other Side of Yakub Hanging Saga…I do not support terror in any way however the 1993 bomb blast did not happen in few seconds . What the police and intelligence authorities were doing ? Why the Government or Judiciary did not punish them for not doing their duty ? Did any of the state or ministers from center owned up responsibility ? The investigating and intelligence agencies say they induced Yakub so he may believe them and could be hanged …? Without any inducement Dawood Ibrahim himself gave offer to Sharad Power to surrender why did Mr.Pawar did not do the same thing which was did with Yakub ? We celebrate Karigil Vijay Diwas every year ? Kargil is undoubtedly ours…why did we allow pakistan army chief and army to come there and settle down ? …..then spend crores of rupees to flush them out and call it as a Vijay ? recent terror activity in Punjab …We are qucik to blame Palistan …but How did they came inside India ? What our Army…intelligence ….BSF were doing ? Yesterday a lady from pakistan traveled till Jalandhar without any travel documents just to see Salman Khaan….. Death Penalty is a debatable issue ..having said this what’s the point in keeping alive rapists of Nirbhaya ? who dont have any remorse even after committing such a heinous crime .

If the mumbai police had encountered (shot at sight) Memon before the Mumbai blasts back in 1993 (as long as they were convinced) you would have been OK with it but today, after 22 years, when so many hundreds of families have lost their bread-winners, so many people have lost their loved ones, hundreds of people were permanently disabled you want the Indian government to allow that rat to live?

Finally, I have something in common with Fr. Cedrick Prakasha!! I guess we agree on the topic of banning death penalty. Even though we have different reasons (God Vs reason) to support a ban on death penalty, we both agree that the practice is not something to be continued in a modern society. Now, I should also point out how he has continued his old habit of bad mouthing Modiji in every possible opportunity. See his repeated references to ‘gujaraath genocide’ while maintaining a clever silence on Sikh massacre following Indira assassination!! smiles…

If they had any courage, why they do not implement the promises they made to the Hindus since the last sixty years promising that 1. they would build the Rama Temple at Ayodhya, 2. they would bring uniform civil code, 3. they would remove Article 370 and remove all special status given to Kashmir when it acceded to India as offered by Raja Hari Singh of Kashmir, 4. that it would punish Pakistan for border violations, 5. that it would bring back the black money, 6. that it would make public the mysterious disappearance of Subhas Chandra Bose, 7. they would prosecute those who were responsible for Nehru murdering Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherji by administering slow poison through Sheik Abdull, 8. they would take action against Congress for the murder of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya at the Moghal Sarai Railway Shunting Yard, 9. that they would take action against Indira Gandhi and other conspirators for poisoning Lal Bahadur Shastri at Tashkent, 10. that they would recapture the territories occupied by China 11. that they would liberate occupied Kashmir from Pakistani etc, etc! If Modi or RSS has any manliness in them, leave alone courage, they must now take military action against Pakistan or, alternately, buy b…… for themselves.

From R J on Abolish The Death Penalty!

The hanging of Yakub Memon gives us a good reason to start the debate over the death penalty. I would like to make out a case in favour of retaining the death penalty. The main arguments trotted out in favour of the abolition of capital punishment are these. First, we should not be party to taking precious human life. Second, sentencing someone to death when facts may later prove him or her innocent means irreparable injustice will be done. Third, death is never a deterrent. And, a fourth, that retribution should never be the aim of capital punishment. It is primitive and barbaric to seek death even for the worst crimes. Let me agree that none of these arguments are invalid in toto. But they are not as strong as they appear to be at first glance. Let’s take the first argument. Every human life is precious, no doubt. The right to life is the most fundamental of rights. No state should be allowed to take it away easily. But no fundamental right is without riders either. Free speech, property and faith, all these are rights subject to reasonable restrictions. Sure, the right to life is even more fundamental, but this only means that the right to take it away has to be foolproof and not amenable to subjective readings. When someone is a terrorist, killing people at will, or a serial murderer or rapist, is this person’s right to life all that sacrosanct all the time? Also, we need to evaluate the death sentence compared to the alternative: a life sentence. Is living life in a dingy cell somehow more humane than sending the killer to the hangman? When suicide bombers voluntarily kill themselves for psychic gains, why is the right to life somehow so sacrosanct? They want to die anyway – and they don’t believe in other people’s right to live. Let me add two more elements to this argument. Why is only human life so valuable, and not that of animals or other fauna? Why is it so unethical to hang a human being, but perfectly all right to murder animals by the million when this causes global warming, makes our diets excessively fatty and cholesterol-laden, and also leads to needless suffering to creatures whom we dominate? Moreover, what if keeping a person alive can cause even more deaths? Keeping Maqbool Butt alive led Kashmiri separatists to the kidnap and murder of an Indian diplomat in Birmingham in the early 1980s. Boko Haram, Al-Qaeda, Indian Mujahideen, Al Shabaab, and ISIS will do anything to get the release of their jailed comrades. Keeping Maulana Masood Azhar and Sheikh Omar in jail caused the Kandahar Indian Airlines hijack and may even have contributed to the 9/11 mass murders at the Twin Towers. When keeping deadly killers alive in jail can tempt their compatriots to indulge in more killings, how is this justified? When it comes to demented people who kill or rape for pleasure and revenge, and when they do so out of mental sickness, is it better to keep them rotting in jail or end their suffering and potential threats to society – including other jailbirds? Sometimes, the greater good is more important than the life of one individual. Hence the death penalty is not something we should reject out of sheer emotion. Let’s take the next argument – that sending someone to the gallows when he may be innocent is the worst form of injustice. This is a reasonably good argument, but we need to examine it closely for its implications. There are two kinds of states – malevolent ones, that are run by dictatorships and hence outside the rule of law, and democratic ones, which do give the accused a chance to prove their innocence. In the first case, there is no point arguing against the death sentence since that kind of regime is against any argument that is not in favour of it. In democratic regimes, where the rule of law is reasonably expected to operate, the accused have a chance to prove their innocence. Let’s remember, Yakub Memon got 21 years to prove his innocence, and failed. However, the real issue here is whether he (and others on death row) got reasonable support from the law so that they don’t end up on the gallows for want of an adequate defence. In big cases, the courts themselves provide legal support; the real problem lies with the poor and weak in criminal cases that do not catch the public eye. It is a travesty that the bulk of the people languishing on death row are from these segments of society. This problem needs remedying by strengthening the law – a law which provides state legal support for the poor. Maybe, a group of concerned citizens can serve as watchdog to ensure that this gets done. That still leaves the question of the non-guilty facing a death rap because of poor evidence gathering by the criminal investigation teams. This is a valid argument, but not an overpowering one. Reason: the fact that mistakes will be made occasionally should not be used to kill the idea of death penalty in the rarest of rare cases. Once we create a basic list of crimes that fits this “rarest of rare” category, the rules for applying the death sentence can be tightened suitably so that convictions based on weak evidence should automatically attract nothing more than lifers. This is a reasonable safeguard to have – and it can be codified into law. The third argument, that capital punishment is never a deterrent, is actually the weakest of them all. If death is no deterrence, is a jail term (even a lifer) a better deterrent? Ask yourself: if you intend to kill, not out of some degree of temporary insanity or driven by extreme emotion, nothing is a deterrent. If you kill after plotting assiduously for it, you are prepared for any consequences. So death or jail will be no deterrent anyway. I believe that punishment itself does not deter too many crimes involving the killing of people, but it is still needed to send out a message to society. Punishment is how we educate ourselves on what is acceptable or unacceptable to a society. This is the prime purpose of any punishment, death or jail, regardless of whether it deters or not. The last argument, that death penalty cannot become a form of retribution, I personally disagree with. States punish crimes with punishment, including death, so that people don’t take law into their own hands and seek retribution directly. Punishment by the state is vital to keep ordinary citizens from taking the law into their own hands – some form of retribution is vital for closure, for righting wrongs. Of course, an occasional Gandhi or a Buddha may not want retribution, but most societies are held in place by the promise of retribution for wrongs inflicted, and not by the forgiving nature of the wronged. Retribution is a human emotion that needs to be acknowledged – just as love, anger and hate are – and punishment is vital if society is not to sink into wanton lawlessness. These are some of the reasons why I think the death sentence should be retained. But it cannot be wayward and arbitrary. We need a specific set of crimes which are defined as rarest of rare and not leave it to the imagination of all-to-human judges to decide this. This is what the debate on capital punishment needs to focus on, not whether it should be abolished. It may be possible to abolish death penalties in extremely advanced countries where people are normally law abiding and the state is strong enough and has enough resources to even attempt to correct the behaviour patterns of deadly criminals. But India is not anywhere near that stage. We need the death penalty for our own reasons at this stage in our development as a civilised society. Let’s not fool ourselves into thinking that we must do what the Joneses do to their killers in Scandinavia or Europe. That way lies chaos and disaster.

From shaiKH moHd rizwan on 'Death by Hanging'- a 53rd Birthday Gift for Yakub Memon at the Cost of Rs 22 Lakh

Dear readers, ‘Article 21 (right to life and liberty) inheres a right in every prisoner till his last breath and this court will protect that right even if the noose is being tied on the condemned prisoner’s neck.’ — Supreme Court judgment in Shatrughan Chauhan vs Union of India, January 2014. Though very late yet welcoming. Supreme Court verdict in the 1993 Mumbai bomb blast case must relieve the families who lost their dear ones. But the verdict has not relieved the pain of those families whose dear ones were killed by rioters and Police during the two-month long bloody riots that preceded the serial blasts in the commercial capital of India. The riot victims ask: When the government rightly pursued, got prosecuted and ultimately punished the bombers, why it let free the rioters, rather promoted many indicted police officers and politicians? Is killing by bombs more painful than killing by mob? The Muslims and everyone must welcome and respect the verdict of the apex court on the Mumbai serial blasts of March 1993 in which nearly 257 people were killed,713 injured and properties worth Rs 27 crore were damaged. But what about the Mumbai riots victims of December 1992 and January 1993 in which more than 900 Muslims were killed and properties worth more than Rs 10000 crore were damaged by Hindu rioters and police? Not only have the riot victims failed to get the justice so far, but shamefully a whole lot of police officers who were indicted by Sri Krishna Commission kept on getting promotions in the last 20 years. Undoubtedly the Mumbai serial blasts were the ‘reaction’ to the anti-Muslim riots that happened in a planned way soon after the demolition of Babri Masjid on December 6, 1992. The culprits of ‘reaction’ were pursued to even foreign locations, brought to book and now ultimately have been punished but the culprits of ‘action’ who are roaming freely in Mumbai localities were not touched, they are still at large. Why is the BJP led Maharashtra government in such a hurry to see 1993 Mumbai blasts accused Yakub Memon hang? The unprecedented hearing held at the Supreme Court past 3 a.m. on Thursday, in which 1993 Mumbai blasts convict Yakub Memon’s last ditch attempt to avert his execution was rejected, was the first of its kind in the apex court’s history and has been generally appreciated by the legal fraternity — though there were some discordant notes also. Before the Supreme Court’s final verdict in those cases, politicians launched campaigns on behalf of the convicts. Tamil Nadu’s legislative assembly passed a resolution against hanging Gandhi’s assassins, while the Akali Dal adopted Bhullar’s cause. The Akalis have also demanded mercy for for Balwant Singh Rajaona, one of Beant Singh’s assassins. Astonishingly, Rajaona has been elevated to the status of Living Martyr (Zinda Shaheed) by the high Sikh religious authority, the Akal Takht. In fact, little is known about this former chartered accountant except that he is the brother of Tiger Memon, mastermind of the March 12, 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts. Some facts about Yakub Memon need to be stated here. There is no direct evidence against him. Only the statement of an approver, and confessions of co-accused who later retracted them, accuse him of being party to the plan to execute multiple bomb blasts in Mumbai. Such statements and retracted confessions have not been considered sufficient by trial courts to convict terror accused. Tiger Memon made sure his entire family was in Dubai when the blasts took place on March 12, 1993. From there, they were shifted to Pakistan by the ISI. Yakub could have stayed on in Pakistan, living a life of luxury under the ISI’s protective cover. Instead, he chose to return to India in July 1994 to clear his name, and convinced some of his family to do so too. Explaining his decision in a letter written from jail to the Chief Justice of India in July 1999 (a copy of which is with this writer), Yakub said he felt confident his innocence would be established in Indian courts, and that he could bring up his children as Indians. The Indian government was party to his surrender. It also knew that he was bringing crucial proof of Pakistan’s hand in the blasts, proof they could not have got otherwise. The government betrayed his trust by tom-tomming in Parliament that he had been arrested, charging him and his family members under the Terrorist & Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act, and opposing their bail. By now, Yakub has spent 23 years in jail, 13 as an undertrial, most of them in solitary confinement. Yakub is the only 1993 blasts accused whose death sentence has not been commuted to life imprisonment. Those granted this reprieve by the Supreme Court include persons who planted the bombs. The bomb blasts were masterminded by smugglers and criminals but it’s called ‘terrorism’ while the genocide of Muslims was masterminded by politicians, police and administration but it’s called ‘communal riots’. Killing by bombs is ‘terrorism’ but killing by trishul and bullets of police is called ‘violence’. It can now be said with certainty that Muslims, both criminals and falsely accused, are more likely to be arrested, more likely to charged, more likely to be proved guilty, more likely to be sentenced to death and more likely to be executed. This points not only to the discrimination prevailing in the legal machinery, Police being the major culprit, but also to the inability of Muslims, due to their lower socioeconomic conditions to fight the costly legal battles. Of course, when politics gets involved, their chances of avoiding punishment become considerably low. The government finds it harder to accept the mercy appeals of Muslim convicts because the media had already done its job in building mass opinion in favour of their hanging. I am a strong believer of death sentence to all those who are involved in murders irrespective of the identity of the killers and the victims. If violence has to be stopped, the perpetrators of violence need to be given their own medicine. I have therefore no sympathy for Memon. What is however necessary is the absence of bias in all respects – in rewards as well as punishments What pains me, and should pain every right thinking human being, is the increasingly partisan attitude of Indian system (Government, Politicians, Police and Judiciary) against Muslims. This gives weight to the ever increasing feeling of discrimination against Muslims in the country. Thanks to the various systems put in place by successive governments, including that of reservations of various kinds, Muslims are neither an adequate part of governance and administration nor of justice and execution. And when the biases in minds are becoming the order of the day, Muslims will of course have the higher representation in all the categories of oppression, suppression, victimisation and exploitation. Will this ever to come to end? Perhaps, not in near future. In last 10 years there are 1,303 death sentences and only 3 executions all are carried with identity of Muslims.Is the message is clear: The BJP is against terrorists only if those terrorists are Muslim?Can our President Mukherjee being merciless for the remaining penalties?Can our highest Judiciary will once again work early hours of the darkness of night and reward the death penalties regardless of their identity? Are we (Muslims) only to be hanged? http://muslimmirror.com/eng/63235/ Is Indian Judiciary system ever be again balance the scales of Lady of justice and offset the balance only to be used against the oppressed using her double-edged sword in her right hand, symbolizing the power of Reason and Justice??

The CCTV footage can tell a clear story. As the altercation has occurred inside the station – the video should be considered as evidence and this should set a precedent for any future incidences. Both the lawyers and the police should look at evidence and that is CCTV coverage. If cell phone or mobile recording was done even that can serve as the evidence. Indian Police have a long way to go. The whole system allows for this archaic way of dealing .

Mr.Henry, I don’t oppose Indian army killing those rats during encounters. I never opposed killing in self-defense or war. However, if we catch some terrorists at the border, we don’t take them to a corner and execute them. The fundamental difference here is of self-defense and judicial sanctioned execution.

as a matter of principle I oppose and reject capital punishment by state. – R.Pai Mr.Pai, Do you also oppose the Indian army (on the orders of the State) killing those Pakistani terrorists who infiltrate into our borders with the intention of killing our own people? Fundamentally, what’s the difference between those terrorists and our own home grown rats like Memon?

From B. N. Pai. on 'Death by Hanging'- a 53rd Birthday Gift for Yakub Memon at the Cost of Rs 22 Lakh

Henry James asks, “Fundamentally, what’s the difference between those terrorists and our own home grown rats like Memon?” Dear Henry James, the “Home Grown” terrorists sprouted in 1993, for the first time, and this first of its kind episode of the millennium was singularly due to the 1992 demolition of Babri Masjid Disputed Structure, violating the law of the land. The demolition took place with utter disregard of Indian Judiciary. They took the Supreme Court for a ride then, by filing false affidavit saying that it would be a “peaceful Kar Seva” and they demolished the disputed structure, forcibly and violently. The majority’s religious frenzy was let loose to trample the minority value system. The complex at Ayodhya was raised to the ground by the followers of Advani and Hindutva extremists, also resulting in the 1992 mass killings at Bombay, as reported in the Justice Srikrishna Commission Report! Thousands of innocent people were killed in India due to the demolition. The end result, the BJP is in power now! BJP has grown from a two seat party in the Parliament, to the majority party since then and due to that. Demolition at Ayodhya re-germinated the discredited Jana Sangh and the RSS to rule the roost today! Again, due to that cause, the “Home-grown terrorism” too germinated in the ashes of Ayodhya and resulting in the 1993 serial blasts in Bombay. The effect is punished by the judiciary on 31st July, 2015, but not the cause of it! Hanged Memon was a law-abiding citizen and a proud Indian Muslim till then. He was a Chartered Accountant. Nevertheless, when his religious sentiments were shattered, he pounced back, albeit irresponsibly. He is not a Jesus Christ to say, “Don’t harm him who has harmed, for he does not know what he does.” Dear Henry James, think over the matter dispassionately, applying ’cause and effect’ logic. Think why Modi became the PM today, over taking all the leaders of BJP and why RSS had para dropped Modi, heads and shoulders above that party? Is it not the post Godhra ashes from which he has sprouted? Vajpayee rightly felt that his “Shining India” was defeated in the 2004 general elections because of the misdemeanour of Modi . At the bottom of every greatness there is a sin, they say. Stop asking questions about the origins, for origins are stinking. This is epitomised by a Kannada saying: “ನದೀ ಮೂಲ, ಸ್ತ್ರೀ ಮೂಲ ಮತ್ತು ಗುರು ಮೂಲಗಳನ್ನು ಹುಡುಕಬಾರದು, ಕೆದಕಬಾರದು.” For, they stink. Ashes of violence can do anything to the country! Our present Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Dattu, had praised Modi AFTER HE BECAME THE P.M; albeit, in a different context. However, praise remains a praise, you know! Sir, make yourself bold, to call a spade a spade.

Jack fruit seed cakes and Roy’s opinion. Have you heard of Jack fruit saat which is nothing but cake? Similarly you can get mango saat. You get it in Mangalore. It is usually made in Karkala. Similarly jack fruit happala is also available. We use jack fruit seeds in several GSB curries such as koddel and ghashi. So you will hardly find any seeds left for making cake. So relax brother. All is not lost. Enjoy the delicacies of South Kanara, be it Sorpotel and Sanna, Biryani and chicken curry or daalitoy and kadgi chackko. Happy eating. No tension. Least of all communal.

From A. S. Mathew on Udupi: Bishop Gerald Isaac Lobo condoles Kalam's Death

Dr. Abdul Kalam was a high ranking personality of Indian origin; a world citizen-genius with extreme humility, born poor and never forgotten those days of suffering and connected with them in the glorious days, that shows his greatness. India and the world lost a great soul. While he worked in Trivandrum for 21 years, he used to eat from a restaurant named “Sree Guruvarappa hotel”. (That name is a very well known Hindu Temple in Kerala). When Dr. Abdul Kalam became the President, the owner of the restaurant showed interest to meet him, and when Dr. Abdul Kalam came to Cochin, the District collector contacted the owners and they were taken by the State car to Cochin to meet the President. When Dr. Kalam met them said in Tamil ” Guruvayurappan is in Cochin too”. Dr. Kalam met them many other times. Dr. Kalam was greatly helped by the Catholic Church in the days of his education, so he had a special love for the Catholic Church and the Christians, he loved the Hindus; so he was a great peace-maker and the young generation will have learn a lot from him. President Richard Nixon said ” the greatness of a person depends upon his meekness”. Dr. Abdul Kalam was a true example of greatness and love for humanity. We lost a very great asset of the world.

Mr. A.S. Mathew, I have great admiration for Dr. Abdul Kalam. He was extremely intelligent, very humble and down-to-earth considering his stature, secular, had read holy books of more than one religion and even when he was in the Rashtrapati Bhawan, he ate dal, bhat, roti and vegetable for his meals. He was the best and most popular President and I do not think anyone can find any fault with him, except for Dr. Abdul Qadar, the ex-Pakistani nuclear head, who termed Dr. Kalam as an ordinary scientist. Dr. Kalam was a man of integrity, honesty, transparency and candidness and, unlike Dr. Abdul Kadar, did not sell nuclear secrets to Stalinist North Koreea and other countries. Regards, Nelson Lewis

I doubt if British would ever return the diamond as it would open up the door for many more such claims by former British colonies!! Remember, most of the western European countries built their wealth by looting resources from Asia, Africa and American continent. Some are visible like this diamond while others (enormous amount of commodities and labor) are not easily visible. In addition to looting, they also did tremendous amount of damage to cultural and religious fabric of these continents.

Mr.Mathew, I’ve already stated my opinion on the supreme court ruling. For the record, I don’t agree with the decision. I am all for religious freedom as long as it doesn’t hide your identity and doesn’t intimidate others. In my opinion, people wearing cross, bindi, veil, saree, dhoti or whatever should be allowed to write exams. Now, the only exception is with private property rules. I support the rights of private institutions to enforce their own rules. There is no proof to show that the recent Supreme Court decision was dictated by BJP!! This is where religious bigots like you are spreading the false information giving a bad name to India at international level. You and your group are taking isolated incidents and blame it all on RSS/BJP. Recently, a white man shot and killed 6 blacks in a church here in US. It’s an isolated incident. There are also a number of incidents involving white police officers killing unarmed blacks. It doesn’t mean that entire US is hunting down blacks here. Only a moron would blow these things out of proportion and blacklist US!! Also, how come you are very silent on recent remarks by Fraklin Graham? Would you have supported if a RSS leader made a similar remarks in India? Show some intellectual honesty and have an open mind.

From shaiKH mOHd rizwan on Kuwait: 'Stop the Rule, Lift the Ban on Hijab Wearing by Minority Communities'- IKFS

In their imaginary world, rapes can be stopped by covering your hair and not showing your armpit!! -Atheist Mr.Original pai Sir,The hijab is often displayed in the media as an object of oppression towards Muslim women; this stereotype is the base foundation for many misconceptions within the media and society. Misconceptions such as Muslim women being limited or backwards. But these statements are false; Hijab does not hinder women from attaining what they want. At times media portrays the hijab as something that suppresses the Muslim women but the hijab through the understanding of Islam is a commandment by God. Muslim women believe that the hijab protects their chastity and leads them to achieve respect through their character rather than their appearance. Because of the lack of knowledge known by many people it leads to these false misconceptions of the hijab. One study done at the University of California, found that media photographs emphasize the faces of men but the bodies of women. In the average picture of women, less than half the photo (45%) was devoted to the woman’s face. In the pictures of men, nearly two-thirds (65%) of the photograph featured the man’s face. Stereotypes of hijab is indeed prevalent today in modern societies. What some women experience are unbelievable or sometimes common. The main source of all stereotypes today in our world is media. It plays a big role in the essence of giving a certain thing or people an identity based on either factual or fictional depictions. Often these media portrayals have a negative impact on people’s lives, I am also aware that we as humans have a natural disposition of being judgemental towards a thing or each other. Sometimes we learn how to step out of that disposition and try to understand what it is that we don’t really know about someone or something. There will always be stereotypes no matter how hard we try, but we can however educate people about hijab to at least reduce some negative stereotypes. Educating would not completely diminish all stereotypes or prejudices, but it will certainly let people aware of what hijab really is. They shall not reveal any parts of their bodies, except that which is necessary.[Quran 24:31] “They shall not strike their feet when they walk in order to shake and reveal certain details of their bodies.”-(24:31) Indeed it is unique creation of Almighty in pairs which natually attracts without the magnetism.It is not necessary to admire the beauty of women in bare body alone. I would request Mr.orginal to come out of the wildest guazing of imagination through his detailed X-ray vision and respect the women kind with dignity. Jai hind

From A. S. Mathew on Mangaluru: Kerala Catholic Nun Disallowed from writing AIPMT Exam for Wearing Veil, Cross

Mr. Pai, which has more authority, the Indian Constitution or the Supreme court’s verdict of head covering? The Judges have failed to specify, as long as the head covering won’t hide the identity of a person, the ruling is not applicable. Do you justify the action taken against the Nun, prohibiting her from writing the medical examination because she had one hair covering and a cross? These are pre-calculated attacks on the fundamental liberty of the citizens of India. Who is now ruling in India? If a Bishop is passing through the TSA counter in the U.S., the Inspector may ask the Bishop to take off the headgear for security check, but the Bishop can fly while keeping the headgear on his head. If the Bishop is asked to fly bareheaded, how far illogical is that? If the Nun was asked to take off the hair covering for a minute, that is fine, but when she is not allowed to write the examination without her hair covering and cross, what kind of an illogical harassment is that? You are a BJP fan, that is your fundamental right. Perhaps you are not aware of the village level harassment of the minority Christians all over India now. You have already stated your fair opinion about the head covering of the Nuns and cross bearing. Why the Judges of the Supreme Court had such an open sense, instead of hurting the feelings and undermining the fundamental right of every individual of any religion in India? What is your logical explanation for that? Are you harassed in the U.S.? Be fair. The U.S. Supreme court by a majority of one vote, 5/9 redefined marriage for the first time in the U.S. history. The U.S., is a nation, the very foundation was on the Bible teachings, the forefathers cried and prayed to GOD for guidance. Now, the Supreme Court is challenging what is written about marriage in the sacred books of all the religions. Do I need to agree with the Supreme court’s decision? You may question me, if I ask openly, why Mr. Modi is keeping quite while national issues affecting the minorities are in headlines? If you criticize the Congress party for their slothfulness or corruption, I am not at all bothered about that. This Nun harassment news will be spreading around the world. What kind of an impression about India will be forming in the minds of the readers around the world? Please explain my friend. You can go to the search engine and what Mr. Sanjay Kirloskar has stated after attending the Hanover international business Industrial fair along with Modji . “Growing Attacks on Christians in India Dissuade Investors”. I didn’t tell him to say that, neither the Church leaders of India. The richest countries are Christian-dominant and the very high percentage of the richest people 56.2% are Christians, 6.5% Muslims, 3.9% Hindus, 1.7% Jewish and the rest 31.7% are of other religion or no religion(New World Wealth) We are now living at the internet age, these bad news about India will be affecting the economy of India. The religious fanatics of India can’t see that, thus pushing the nation into economic troubles. That is the main reason, I am speaking against the use of religious card by the BJP and her sisters parties.

Dear AS Mathew, Please note the below news too. “The Principal told her that she was also a Christian and understood her plight, but as per CBSE guidelines, veil and Holy cross cannot be permitted inside the examination hall, PTI reported.” Further please note that there is stringent religion control in China – Christians and Muslims are not allowed to freely practice their religion. However foreign investment flow to China never stopped. Most of the investment is from Europe and USA. As far as as you can make money religion is secondary to western nations. It is very much apparent now that there was no any religious angle to any attacks on churches or nuns. It was all either robbery or personal vendetta. Media is hiliting the issue to its advantage for more viewership. You Sanjay Kirloskar may have cooked up some news and published it and you have been it for granted!!

LOL” Now, he has given the right clue as to the secret of his becoming a genius, of course, after settling in the USA! He now feels that he really is a genius and he has explained how and why he could become so. Sharia Sheikh is not a genius till now, and may be he has not eaten beef, if the logic of Original RSS is true!

The BJP Government will be turning as a big headache to the peaceful life of the people of India. As Mr. original Pai has indicated, neither the cross nor the veil will cover the identity, but taking off those things through creating laws is a terrible sign that India is advancing to some very serious troubles in the days ahead; through the deliberate infringement of personal liberty and pre-calculated attacks on the minority religions of India. Wait for the Bihar result like the Delhi miracle!

From Original R.Pai on Udupi: Pramod Muthalik Demands Government to Treat all Religious Minority Groups Equally

As much as we find it uncomfortable, this is precisely why we need right-wing groups in a vibrant democracy. In politically correct world of clueless secular society, truth can be seen as a ‘hate speech’!! Other minorities in India are clearly bullied into silence by ‘peaceful’ group. I remember one astute author pointing this out with an example of ‘chicken biriyaani’ which ended up confusing political illiterates on this forum!! In fact, the author was attacked by members of his own community for pointing out the truth!!! How sad and ironic!! Our minority groups are very good in attacking their own members or sanaatha groups. However, they are full of fear for saying any critical things on ‘peaceful’ community. Show me a single soul from minority community who had enough courage to stand up and comment on ‘cartoon’ controversy!! Good luck finding them!!

From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Mangaluru: 'Vanamahotsava'- The Festival of Tree Planting Celebrated at Mount Carmel School

The feast of “Vanamahotsava” was prevalent even during our school days. The planting of trees is a reminder for all of us to realize how important it is to plan a tree each year and make the world lush green wherever possible. Country like India with monsoons lasting for four months is a true blessing to not only plan a tree but nurture it throughout the year with preservation and utilization of water. Let there be a tree named after each one of us so that the tree will remain around much after we are gone. Let there be a tree every corner of the road so that our city is beautified throughout the year. Let the tree provide a fruit so that we can eat at the breakfast or lunch and save the rest of the food for others. Let India remain ever green with crops for each season so that we can have sufficient food throughout the year

From shaikH MOhD rizwan on Udupi: Uttar Pradesh youth spreads nationwide Swachh Bharat Abhiyan awareness through Cycle Yatra

Dear readers, Indians gained freedom under the leadership of Gandhiji, but his dream of a clean India is still unfulfilled. Mahatma Gandhi said “Sanitation is more important than independence”. He made cleanliness and sanitation an integral part of the Gandhian way of living. His dream was total sanitation for all. Cleanliness is most important for physical well-being and a healthy environment. It has bearing on public and personal hygiene. It is essential for everyone to learn about cleanliness, hygiene, sanitation and the various diseases that are caused due to poor hygienic conditions. The habits learnt at a young age get embedded into one’s personality. Even if we inculcate certain habits like washing hands before meals, regular brushing of teeth, and bathing from a young age, we are not bothered about cleanliness of public places. Mahatma Gandhi said, “I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet.” Gandhiji dwelt on cleanliness and good habits and pointed out its close relationship to good health. No one should spit or clean his nose on the streets. In some cases the sputum is so harmful that the germs infect others. In some countries spitting on the road is a criminal offence. Those who spit after chewing betel leaves and tobacco have no consideration for the feelings of others. Spittle, mucus from the nose, etc, should also be covered with earth. (Navajivan dated 2 November, 1919). http://www.gandhi-manibhavan.org/gandhiphilosophy/philosophy_environment_sanitation.htm On 2nd October, 2014, the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, launched a nation-wide cleanliness campaign on the occasion of Mahatma Gandhi’s birth anniversary.Though BJP succeeded in stealing Mahatma ‘goggle’ for this cause under new brand of ‘Swachh Bharat’ neither toilets came nor temple got its sanity left. Only some potshot exposing themselves with brand new ‘Jaddu’ in pre dumped garbage. Everyone must be his own scavenger. – M. K. Gandhi Is PM Modi with his 10 crores of party cadres of world largest national party who showed extra ordinary skills of bringing down the ‘Babri Masjid’ in less than 24Hrs;can show the same labour cleaning the ‘Ganges’ and manual scavenges? Can we expect Mr.Abhishek to get down from bicycle to be joined by Mr.Original from US and clean the dumps of Mahanagarpalika of Bangalore? Joined by ‘Karsevaks’ of the demolition squard to give makeover in to ‘Garden city’ from getting ‘garbage city’? Jai Hind

Town Hall of Mangalore is nothing different from the White House in Washington DC. We look upon the Town Hall as the Capital Building where the Mayor and the Members of the Mangalore meet often and discuss policies and philosophies that pertain to the people of Mangalore. We should be proud to admit the following characteristics of Mangalooru:- 1) We are an Intellectual City of Karnataka. 2) We are a Port City that brings economic growth to our State by allowing cargo ships and cruises to enter our State 3) We have a full fledged Refinery that caters most of our domestic Energy needs 4) We have some of the finest Education Institutes that cater for our Medical, Engineering & Business disciplines 5) We have some of the best industries that support our Coffee, Tea, Fisheries, Fertiliser, Granite and other industries 6) We have some of the best Shopping Centers in Mangalore 7) We have an ideal Secular community that creates peace and harmony in the society 8) We have some of the best Tourist centers such as Temples, Mosques & Churches that can attract global community 9) We have a dynamic multi=cultural and multi-linguistic community bringing charm to our ever changing Society 10) Most importantly, we have the people with a vision, people with a forward looking attitude. All the above features should not be forgotten while we seek more developments to the City that brings progress and prosperity to Mangalore that brings more economic, social, educational and cultural benefits to India as a whole. Thank you, Mayor Jacinta, for your leadership and entrepreneurship. As and when we visit Mangalore next we look forward to the pleasure of meeting with you.

Did Modi didn’t trust the word of Anand Mahindra, chairman and managing director, Mahindra & Mahindra, was reported saying that it would be a moment of pride for every Indian if Mr. Modi chooses the indigenous Scorpio as his official mode of transport? Is India’s national security challenges in the hands of our soliders riding M&M’s (Mahindra’s) Axe is the Indian answer to the American Hummer is safe bet if PM hesistant to ride? Why can’t PM Modi take metro ride like Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel and save public spending?Show me one BJP leader opted for public transport opted like Former union minister Veerapa Moily?

Pincode Pai continues to embarrass himself by posting irrational things!! He doesn’t seem to understand the difference between ‘Individual Choices’ and ‘Public Policies’!! There is no secret in Vajapayee’s drinking habits. It is very different from promoting ‘cheap liquor’ for poor!! One is individual choice while the second one is a matter of public policy! Let me give another example – As we all know, our Jannana is very actively involved in Kudroli temple management and activities. He is also an active member of Congres party. It doesn’t make Congress party a ‘Hindu nationalist’ party!! LOL Pincode Pai refuses to acknowledge the ‘cultural mindset’ that I was referring to. Instead, he chooses to post embarrassing things to fool equally illiterates like Praveena and Mathew. How sad!

Dear Joker, Let me correct you – When there are potholes on Mangaluru roads, I look for both Lobo and Kumaara. Again, you have to read the entire post before embarrassing yourself. Moreover, what’s wrong in holding these guys responsible for pathetic state of mangaluru infrastructure ? Unlike you, I don’t target people purely based on religious and party affiliations.

From A. S. Mathew on Wrong development priority in spite of Socio-Economic Census and National Sample Survey findings

Like the rest of the nations of the world, an emerging country with great fanfare slogans created by Mr. Modi to transform India into the 22nd century with all the Himalayan promises of prosperity will be turning in reality as a mere fantasy dream for the lowest sector of the society, which is 33% of the nation living with less than $ 1.25/day. The rich are getting richer, the middle class keeping the status quo, and the poor are getting poorer. The national Indian budget for the Health care was reduced 20% by Arun Jaitly who is constantly boasting and predicting the GDP of India like a whim and fancy, even surprising the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. If he has such a confidence in the sky rocketing growth of India while the rest of the world is faced with a sinking economical trend, why did he reduce the budgeting of the Healthcare to 20%, which will be hurting the poorest sections of the society too severely. “Unchecked capitalism will make the rich richer and the poor poor” Pundit Nehru. For the last four decades, it was the parade of the whole world in that march; so the rich got richer and the poor got poorer. None of the Economists have learned anything about the current economic crisis faced with the world. Now the world is faced with the abundant supply of consumer goods, raw materials, commodities etc with far lower demand from the consumers due to their terribly declined purchasing power created due to the 7 years prolonged recession started in the U.S., which flew to European Zone, now finally landed in China. China, being the largest exporter and consuming nation of the world, the economic bubble bursting of China will be sending serious shock waves around the world, and will greatly affect the Asian countries, both directly and indirectly. The export of many raw materials to China from India has been declined; cotton export to China from India has declined 57% during the last year. How many people are going to be affected in India?

Dear Original RSS Duplicate Paimaam, you must first know your RSS folks, before making scathing and unfounded allegations against the Congress by saying, “This is the cultural mindset and product of Congress governance we had all these decades.” Do you know the cultural mindset of BJP stalwarts? The best example is Atal Bihari Vajpayee! He is well known for his insatiable craving for choicest brand of foreign liquor and daily servings of prawns and chicken curry with it. Even when he was visiting foreign countries, like the USA, he used to take best chaufs with him, specially recruited from Hotel Taj of Bombay etc! Go through the “Morarji Dairy” allegations by Subramanian Swamy, who accompanied him to Peking as his deputy, in 1978; wherein Subramanian Swamy is reported to have complained to Prime Minister Morarji Desai that our foreign minister had no time to do any worthwhile job in Peking because of preoccupation with dames and pegs! That is why Vajpayee did not make him a minister in his cabinet and an infuriated Swamy went out from BJP, became the president of Janata Party and at last sold the Party to Liquor Barren Vijay Mallya of Bangalore.

We spend a great deal of our time in North America in propagating the advancement of Mangalore not only in the Economic, Social and Philanthropic sense but also in the Educational, Cultural as well as Religious involvements that is taking Mangalore to a much higher pedestal because the community and society of Mangalore is moving forward in the right direction. Our Temples, Mosques and Churches have a history to boast.

Our Medical Colleges, Engineering Colleges as well as Nursing Colleges are producing some of the best candidates that can bring name and fame for Mangalore in every field of advancement. Adding to all the above glory, we have philanthropic groups such as Toastmasters providing a pathway for numerous Leaders and Communicators that are helping to transform the local community into a vibrant Society. We can be the spokesmen for our fast changing City, and our leadership can be a good role model for our young community. Mangalore Port is now on the world map. More and more Cruise Liners are now planning to touch Mangalore on a regular basis, and one of these days we would like to come to Mangalore on one of the Luxury Cruise Liners and spend some quality time with our talented Toastmasters so that they display some of the best Leadership talents to the outside world and help Mangalore to gain increased momentum. The charm of Mangalore rests on the dynamic personalities of the people, people of all cultures and religious backgrounds working together and making the World strong and more united than ever before.

Something that has taken deep roots over the last 50 years and something that is part of the culture today – may never change no matter how hard one tries. It won’t be too long before the government will have no money in its treasury to pay for the infrastructure as the new development with black money will surpass what the government can plan and fund. It is already happening to some extent – no water and no roads in newly developed areas!

Again, don’t get me wrong. I have a lot of respect for this man because he shows so much passion to serve people. However, our media needs to raise standards a little bit. There is nothing great in using a normal mode of transportation by an elected official whose primary job is to represent people. Unfortunately, we treat them as if they are from a royal family and pamper them with all additional attention and perks. I remember an incident in the state of Wisconsin 8-9 years ago, when then-governor Jim Doyle showed up at an event all by himself. He drove his car and showed up on time at the corporate headquarters without any drama that we are accustomed to see with our incompetent Indian politicians.

From shaikH MOhD rizwan on Udupi: Sri Ram Sene to hold Abhyasavarga from July 25 at Manipal

Dear readers, A clear diversion tactics to get away with back to back scams by RSS political wing BJP. This SRS is being used in this case to divert the attention for ongoing issues. India Sees a Sharp Rise in Communal Violence in the First Five Months of 2015 https://time.com/3965515/india-communal-violence-rise/ India Witnessed Rise In Communal Violence Under Modi … www.huffingtonpost.in/2015/02/25/amnesty-modi_n_6748946.html Incidents of communal violence in India rose by nearly a quarter in the first five months of this year compared to the same period in 2014, the Economic Times reports. The newspaper, citing data from India’s Home Ministry, also reported a rise in deaths from communal violence, which rose from 26 between January and May 2014 to 43 over the same period this year. Is our globetrotting PM Modi aware of these figures which his government has promised ‘sabka saath, sabka vikas’? Is this the only development which Indians waiting to see? Jai Hind

From shaikH MOhD rizwan on Bengaluru: 450 Houses Built in Nepal by Bangalore Cares For Nepal

Dear readers, I appreciate the great ‘Humanitarian’ efforts extended by the team organisation and its team members. I would recommend government of India to set up ‘Ministry of Disaster management’ in tandem with armed forces and registered NGO. We need to have different contingency plan dealing with such large scale disaster in the future. A better manpower utilisation,time management,endemic control and rapid rehabilitation should be part of the new approach. Jai Hind

From Prakash Raj on Mangaluru: Intrusion of Cockroaches in Eatables Shop - Health Officer Files Complaint

I am a regular customer at this place.Coincidentally, I happened to be shopping while some health inspectors arrived on receiving a complaint from the owner of another neighboring shop. Upon inquiry,I found that the owner of the shop had done/was doing the necessary to eliminate the roaches, and he was in the process of cleaning the dead insects.Apparently, the so called complaint had nothing to do with the general public or clients as stated in the news- but malicious and a jealous neighbor on a mission to tarnish the image of a decent and established enterprise.

From shaikH MOhD rizwan on Udupi: CM Siddaramaiah’s Words Restricted to Speech, Not Action - Shobha Karandlaje

Dear readers, Madam Shoba, why don’t you remind Modi to walk the talk? Nearly half-a-billion Indians – or 48% of the population – lack access to basic sanitation and defecate in the open. The situation is worse in villages where, according to the WHO and Unicef, some 65% defecate in the open. And women appear to bear the brunt as they are mostly attacked and assaulted when they step out early in the morning or late in the evening. When Modiji is building ‘Toilets’ or his only interested in photoshoot with ‘Jaddus’? Is any advance information on ‘black money’ and ’15 lakh deposits’? Forget about Petroleum price reduction,what about the Gross domestic index which stands 8 month high with projection of deficit rainfall? Any overview on Netaji Bose files to be made public? Finally madam,why in your own constituency report hike in communal violence? What is your action against the slur singers? Madam, Can you list us the achievement of BJP atleast some from your election manifesto? Jai hind

From shaikH MOhD rizwan on Udupi: Pejwar Swamiji's Fifth Paryaya will witness Social and Religious development in City

Dear readers, In the last six years, the three BJP chief ministers doled out around Rs 400 crore to religious institutions for development works and other activities within and outside Karnataka. For 2013-14, Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar allocated Rs 132.5 crore, surpassing those made by former chief ministers D V Sadananda Gowda and B S Yeddyurappa. In most cases, the donations violated government guidelines issued in September 2010 that put a cap of Rs 10 lakh, Rs 25 lakh and Rs 50 lakh as the maximum amount that could be sanctioned to Muzrai temples, private temples and religious institutions respectively. In the presence of BJP MP Shobha Karandlaje the Kannadigas want to now were was those ‘development’ fund and does Muzari department has any audit of it? Why the BJP government promotes “Money Mela” to mutt rather deliver it directly to the needy? What Social and Religious development in City Pejawar Swamiji is talking,when he openly supports untouchability in his own society? Lastly, We minority needs to now his stand on religious stand from Babri Masjid demolition to the recent communal disturbances in region? What his contribution to maintaining peace in the region?

@ Pincode Pai – I can see why you intentionally behave like a political illiterate. China’s alliance with Paakistaana is a strategic one as it truly fears India and West. It doesn’t mean that China wants ‘peaceful’ groups spreading their influence in its own society. Didn’t you read the report on how it kicked out a bunch of ‘tourists’ for watching ‘peaceful’ videos in their hotel room? If India had done the same thing, you and other illiterates would have cried like babies. As to RSS, if you think RSS is a paper tiger, why are you worries about RSS in every single post? LOL LOL It shows how much you and your sharia-compliant crowd fears RSS for its strong intellectual opposition!! smiles… @Nicholas – You don’t sound very intelligent. I wasn’t talking about just defending country. I was talking about the opposition to medieval tribal forces. Like it or not, RSS is an important domestic force that keeps some of these shenanigans under control!!

Where did I say that I didn’t know about your blessed Murudeshwara? What I said was – I didn’t know that there were those magnificent gigantic statues out there. It could always happen that they were constructed AFTER I last visited your Muru, right? See ya Rampa, you aren’t being one bit bright here. It must be the perpetual low-voltage upstairs and I can quite understand your predicament! Due sympathies. 🙁 By the way, isn’t it YOU who did ‘padhrad’ (or was it ‘padhimooji’) to Yumreeka? Hahahaha! I’m still very much in India and appreciate the native culture and traditions. If I want to watch some ‘Yakshagana’ or ‘Bhootada kola’ or ‘Nataka’, ‘Kadri kambla’, all I have to do is turn-up at the venue in Mangalooru. You see ya Rampu, unlike you, I DON’T NEED TO WATCH IT ON YOUTUBE while munching some Alsande McBoddanna burger, clap hands like a kid and pretend that I had ‘ring-side’ seats. :):) I can only pity a fellow like you – NEITHER HERE NOR THERE!

From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Mangaluru: Roshni Nilaya and CHD Hold National Symposium on Disaster Risk Reduction

Institutions such as Roshni Nilaya under the leadership of Dr. Jacinta D’Souza, Dr. Sophia and Dr. Philomena and many others are always on the forefront of surveillance on various aspects relating to the Crime and Disaster Prevention and Reduction measures. The Institution has the foresight of knowledge on all the possible consequences that can impact the daily life of mankind. Countries such as India where population gets compounded almost every hour due to more population is always in need of public help so that all the required measures are well under consideration so as to reduce the possible disasters that can come upon us due to innumerable circumstances. Changing weather conditions, increased industrial involvements thru increasing smoke-stack industries and petrochemicals, lack of hygene and supervision on daily food intake, clean air and clean water – all of these can bring multitudes of disasters that can virtually wipe out people’s lives. In many Western countries there are strongly established Insurance Companies who protect all the consequences that arise as a result of any natural disasters. The premiums attached to these Insurance coverage are outrageous but are mandatory in order to protect all possible damage to lives and property. Thank you Dr. Sophia for your continued efforts in gathering best of the audience for useful Conventions relating to Disasters. Best of luck to you and Dr. Philomena for your efforts.

Relations between the Individuals and the Organization is the KEY to future success in developing Soft Skills and all the basic necessities of our daily life. The more we educate people and the Institutions is to our advantage. In countries such as India where the population is increasing by the hour, each and every individual has a duty to learn and digest the necessities of life so that our daily challenges are met with timely precautions and preventions. Talent Acquisition is a good “Terminology” that should be encouraged at all levels. People have so many talents and abilities that need be tapped at all levels and under all circumstances. People such as Dr. Devi Prabha and many others have a strong role to play in the daily societal life in Mangalore where communities are growing with young generation with bright ideas and bright feelings. All that people need in India is a constant touch of knowledge on the daily realities of life so that each person comes forward and extends their hand of help.

No intelligent person will link this incident to state Govt and accuse Congress of trying to make hindus live in fear and insecurity!! However, I remember all the euphoria and (fake)outrage over ‘attacks on minority worshiping places’ after Modiji came to power!! The certain sections of media and some known troublemakers tried their best to accuse BJP of bullying minorities!! No intelligent person should have done it.

Hey Sharia Shaikh, Stay on subject. I didn’t bring up veda, puraana or your old book from 7th century. Take a look at those pics. Is this how we should be treating animals? Well, I fully understand why you can’t understand the suffering of these animals. Because, you are one of those who worship and secretly romanticize about a culture that beheads people for silly things like music and magic. People are thrown from the top of the building because they were gays!! You probably enjoy the videos published by your friends with black flags. When you associate yourself with a culture that celebrates suffering and violence, how can you ever understand ‘ahimsa’ ? The only language you understand is force. This is why we need to thank strong forces like Doddana, Kempanna, Israel, RSS, Indian Army, China etc.

Good job by our Police. These things have been going on for decades now. The geniuses from Republic of kasaragodu are notorious for their activities in vitla-kanyaana area. These stolen vehicles are handed over to other geniuses in Kasaragodu to smuggle things across the karnataka-kerala border. This way, they can simply abandon the vehicle and run away when chased by police or public. It was sandalwood and rice smuggling in 80s and 90s. Now, it is illegal cattle trafficking. This is what happens when educated people in a community are only as good as Sharia Shaikh!! Very depressing!

From shaikH MOhD rizwan on Mangaluru: Vehicle Transporting 16 Cows Illegally Seized by Barke Police

Hard to believe that this is the land of Mahaaveera, Gauthama Buddhda and Mahatma Gandhiji.-Atheist Mr.Original Sir, Thanks to proving once again that Vedic people belongs to ‘Sindh valley civilization’ who migrated to down to India. To begin with the historian breaks the myth that Muslim rulers introduced beef eating in India. Much before the advent of Islam in India beef had been associated with Indian dietary practices. A survey of ancient Indian scriptures, especially the Vedas, shows that amongst the nomadic, pastoral Aryans who settled here, animal sacrifice was a dominant feature till the emergence of settled agriculture. Cattle were the major property during this phase and they offered the same to propitiate the gods. Wealth was equated with the ownership of the cattle. Many gods such as Indra and Agni are described as having special preferences for different types of flesh – Indra had weakness for bull’s meat and Agni for bull’s and cow’s. It is recorded that the Maruts and the Asvins were also offered cows. In the Vedas there is a mention of around 250 animals out of which at least 50 were supposed to be fit for sacrifice and consumption. In the Mahabharata there is a mention of a king named Rantideva who achieved great fame by distributing foodgrains and beef to Brahmins. Taittiriya Brahman categorically tells us: `Verily the cow is food’ (atho annam via gauh) and Yajnavalkya’s insistence on eating the tender (amsala) flesh of the cow is well known. Even later Brahminical texts provide the evidence for eating beef. Even Manusmriti did not prohibit the consumption of beef. The emphasis on non-violence by Buddha was not blind or rigid. He did taste beef and it is well known that he died due to eating pork. Emperor Ashok after converting to Buddhism did not turn to vegetarianism. He only restricted the number of animals to be killed for the royal kitchen. So where do matters change and how did the cow become a symbol of faith and reverence to the extent of assuming the status of `motherhood’? Over a period of time mainly after the emergence of Buddhism or rather as an accompaniment of the Brahminical attack on Buddhism, the practices started being looked on with different emphasis. The threat posed by Buddhism to the Brahminical value system was too severe. In response to low castes slipping away from the grip of Brahminism, the battle was taken up at all the levels. At philosophical level Sankara reasserted the supremacy of Brahminical values, at political level King Pushyamitra Shung ensured the physical attack on Buddhist monks, at the level of symbols King Shashank got the Bodhi tree (where Gautama the Buddha got Enlightenment) destroyed.

However a careful study of their sacred scripture gives entirely different picture. Also it is time for our Indian brethren to wake up and understand the tactics of some elements of our society who use meat eating as a political tool to divide people. Due to the sensitive nature of the topic some of our innocent’s brethren get carried away in emotion and don’t look at facts. Let’s not be divided and don’t let people polarize the society. Let us not allow anti-social elements to spread hatred, create division and polarize hearts of fellow countrymen in the name of meat and animals. Jai Hind

From shaikH MOhD rizwan on Death Sentence should be given for slaughtering cows - Hukum Singh Chawla

We need to fight ‘Kurien’ model and move towards more sustainable, plant based diet.-Atheist Mr.Original Pai Sir, In 1965, the then Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri first initiated ‘White revolution’ by creating the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) under the leadership of Dr. Verghese Kurien to replicate the success story of Amul throughout the country. In 1973, Dr. Kurien set up GCMMF (Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation) to market the products produced by the dairies. Under Dr. Kurien’s stewardship, India became the largest producer of milk in the world. While attacking the UPA government ahead of last year’s Lok Sabha polls, Narendra Modi fleshed out his public speeches by alleging the Congress-led Centre promoted a “pink revolution” in subsiding slaughterhouses and promoting meat exports through tax breaks.After coming to power Modi economist found the value of the foreign exchange worth $4.8 Billion Red Meat Export Surge by 16% Gives Beef Ban a Red Faced. With increasing resentment and failure to deliver the election promises, the cow became victim of religious war which Vedic people greatly admired to be part of their diet and important delicacy serving the guest. This Modi scandal marred government with multiple scams have no other option using religious tool which no other party know how to counter. When corruption and 15 lakh issue is raised in parliament they brought ‘Ghar Wapsi’ .Now Ashok Chouhan government inspired by Agatha Christie Novel,’Vyapam’ whistle blowers are mysteriously vanishing one after the other. So the Mangalore RSS unit brought this ‘Garbage’ Ashok as a diversion tactics, in country which scams and murders are just remain to be nightmare lived short. And indeed, for you in the cattle (is) a lesson. We give you to drink from what (is) in their bellies, from between bowels and blood, milk pure, palatable to the drinkers.-an-Nahl 16:66 Is RSS going back to the roots of 1400 year old book which promoted ‘White revolution’? Is our Atheist Mr.Original and his RSS is calling for mother feed their plant based ‘Soya milk’ next? Jai Hind

From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Udupi: 'Good Values Instilled can Change Lives' - Dr Sulochana Bhandarkar at Shirva

Value based Educational systems in India will help hundreds of millions of students at all levels to gain within and outside India. India’s history of the past, the Vedic scriptures, the Ramayanas, the Mahabharathas, the Bhagvadgheetas – are all valuable ingredients for everyone to read and relish the values that are built in the past history and mythology. Experts in the West are of the strong opinion that India’s democratic values as well as India’s valuable Secular values are very important to observe and admire. There is something that lies beneath all the good deeds that take place in India for a peaceful coexistence of mankind. India, in spite of all the headlines we possess is still a great country that is admired by the West. The peaceful non-violence led by Mahatma Gandhi, the survival of India with a population of nearly 1.3 billion and the manner in which we carry on with our daily life of peace and harmony – these are all facts and figures that the Western world is keenly watching and admiring. Thank you, Dr. Sulochana, for all your efforts in promoting the Educational values in India. Our nation depends so much on Educational upgrading that will keep us moving day after day – one day at a time.

From Joe D'Souza on Mangaluru: Calling 100 or 108 or Begging for 'HELP' in Time of Emergency is Useless - You Know Why?

Mr Alfie and your friend Niren D’Souza deserve God’s Blessing. Your article is a eye opener for Society. There are plus and minus regarding helping. I have helped at least dozen cases and sometimes I have wondered why I did it. In one case near Mangala Hospital a man was bleeding through nose and struggling by road side. Called 100 and Police. It was like throwing coin in the ocean. Then I paid 350 rupees and sent him in Mangala Ambulance to Wenlock. In few hours later, injured man’s employer showed up at my house questioning “why I sent His employee to Wenlock instead of sending him to City Hospital or other private hospital”. Appreciation at best. In other case,I saw a Kerala Person struggling on ground next to Kankanady Bus stand. Happened to drive by,stopped and called useless 100 and Police. There were dozen people inside bus stand including a Religious Swamy. None helped this man. I shifted Him to Wenlock in FMCC ambulance paying 400 rupees. Ambulance driver requested me that I should meet Him at hospital. When reached Hospital,a Nurse asked me to get set of clothes as injured man’s clothes were dirty with blood stain and other things. What choice I have. Went to market road and got Lungi,shirt and inside under pantand cloth bag to take home his belongings. Spent over 1000 for being good Samaritan. Every case it cost me lot. This is why people don’t come forward. Another more serious matter in Mangalore as well as whole India,Cast problem,Race problem,Religious group conflict and Moral police rowdy assault possibility. If helped a injured female,Her male partner with His friends may injure good Samaritan because He touched her. Before injured person reaches hospital,good Samaritan may end up in Operation theater with broken bones. This is one of the reason Public stays away to avoid problems. But Alfie and Niren,both of you done what is right and compassionate.

From Original R.Pai on Death Sentence should be given for slaughtering cows - Hukum Singh Chawla

In the name of ‘ksheera kraanti’ (‘Kurien’ was the architect behind it), a model was created where we have more cows than we can sustain. Unless you address the root cause behind this supply chain, it is very difficult to get rid of the problem. Remember, we are NOT raising cows for meat consumption. All these cows are mainly used for farming and sold to slaughtering houses later. Those who lived in rural area know how this model works. Every dhoomanna has cows these days. Any ‘unwanted’ cow will be sold to some middleman ‘raamanna’ who in turn sells it to Haneef !! Game over for the poor cow!! This is why it is important to push for ‘moderate’ consumption of dairy products to return to more sustainable model. Those people on the stage don’t look very intelligent. The rhetoric hardly solves the problem. They need to look at the bigger picture and cut down on the ‘demand’ side. We need to fight ‘Kurien’ model and move towards more sustainable, plant based diet.

Original Duplicate is forging duplicate history. He claims, “In the name of ‘ksheera kraanti’ (‘Kurien’ was the architect behind it), a model was created where we have more cows than we can sustain.” This is a blatent lie. As on 1947, India had one half of the world’s cow population, but the milk yield was abysmally low and we had to import milk products. We could not pay money then and as such the USA supplied the same as charity. Such an India it was then and today is the largest producer and exporter of milk and milk products in the world! But, India was exporting cows hide and tea in 1947, but to day hide is not in the export list! That is because beef eating in India is drastically reduced. Every Indicater belies Dhongi History of the RSS Paimaam!

Hard to believe that this is the land of Mahaaveera, Gauthama Buddhda and Mahatma Gandhiji. Irrespective of your food habits, if you think that this is an acceptable way of treating animals before slaughtering them, you certainly need some medical help and counseling!

From shaikH MOhD rizwan on Death Sentence should be given for slaughtering cows - Hukum Singh Chawla

Death Sentence should be given for slaughtering cows – Hukum Singh Chawla Vice president of Central Goraksha Committee Dear readers, In Modi’s India whatever Hindu Fanatic wishes could be realised. In one comment Vinod Bansal, spokesperson for Vishva Hindu Parishad, a Hindu nationalist organization says,” Buffalo meat isn’t beef,” “Only cow meat is beef and India doesn’t export that. And if a Hindu eats beef he or she cannot be called a Hindu.” . “Wherever there is a BJP government, we will consider the sentiments of the people before imposing ban on beef. We have not said that we will be banning beef across the country,” BJP president Amit Shah told reporters in Goa, where the BJP government has allowed sale and consumption of beef. Polarising people in the name of religion is too overt, but doing it by pitting their eating habits against each other may have the same effect while appearing totally benign. The ban of sale, possession and consumption of beef in Maharashtra with stringent punishment is certainly a political move because cow is sacred to the Hindus, according to the BJP and Hindu organisations, and most of the beef business is handled by Muslims. More over, most of the consumers of beef are also believed to be Muslims and Christians. After all, you are what you eat, seems to be the message from the government that brands and divide people. In a country where basic hunger of people is still unmet, the upkeep of the cows that cannot be slaughtered will ultimately fall on the farmer, who incidentally will have to stop rearing cows because the cost will impoverish him/her. It will have an impact on the economies of poor and rural households besides affecting milk overall production of the state. It’s for these reasons that the father of Indian white revolution, Verghese Kurien had staunchly opposed the ban on cow-slaughter. In his autobiography, he recalls his efforts to oppose the ban on cow-slaughter on behalf of the dairy industry: “My brief was to prevent any ban on cow slaughter. It was important for us in the dairy business to keep weeding out the unhealthy cows so that available resources could be utilised for healthy and productive cattle. I was prepared to go as far as to allow that no useful cow should be killed. This was the point on which the Shankaracharya and I invariably locked horns and got into heated arguments. I constantly asked him, ‘Your Holiness, are you going to take all the useless cows which are not producing anything and look after them and feed them till they die? You know that cannot work.’ He never had any answer to my query.” BJP says that banning cow-slaughter is its election promise. Will the BJP ruled states set up homes and budgets for taking care of unproductive cows? Is it even feasible while the problem of hunger is “alarming” in most of the states except in Punjab, Kerala, Assam and Andhra Pradesh? In fact, the Hunger Index of Gujarat, another state where cows cannot be slaughtered, is worse than India’s national average, which incidentally is worse than countries such as Pakistan and Malawi. Will the BJP now turn to India’s beef exports? In his prime ministerial campaign, Narendra Modi had made fun of the Congress for promoting a “pink revolution”, which meant exporting beef. As the second largest exporter of beef in the world, India earns about $ 4.3 billion a year. According to BJP, the Congress had encouraged beef exports (although most of it’s buffalo meat) to placate the Muslims. Modi had promised to stop this. Will he? If he does, polarisation of people using beef-politics will be complete. His economists may advise against it because it’s a lot of foreign exchange. The ban, if strictly enforced across India, will certainly affect rearing cows. In the name of religion, meddling with a mutually beneficial ecosystem that has contributed immensely to the country’s food security, is foolish. Instead of fanning religious emotions of people, what the country needs are stringent measures for the upkeep of productive cattle so that they don’t wander on city roads and highways and die eating garbage and plastic. If we are kind to our cattle, we should modernise abattoirs and enforce global standards in our meat industry. Lastly, that Hindus don’t eat beef is a myth. For instance, majority of Hindus, including the saffronites, in Kerala eat it. For many years it had been their staple protein until factory-bred chicken replaced it as a cheaper option in recent times. In big cities and state capitals, the elite and the well-travelled love their steaks and beef-burgers. Instead of focusing on cows and beef, the BJP governments should be encouraged to reduce hunger and the severe protein malnourishment of its people. I would request all Modi Bhakt and GO mundal to read The author, Dwijendra Narayan Jha, Professor of History at the University of Delhi, has marshalled indisputable evidence proving what every scholar of India has known for well over a century.

Very shocking and depressing. The author and his friend deserve a great deal of credit for trying to save this poor man. I wish everyone had this kind of courage and passion. The emergency services and responses are beyond pathetic. Nobody comes forward if you get into any kind of accident. I remember an incident from 2003 when a motorbike rider hit my car from wrong side in a busy road. In fact, he didn’t even have driving licence to ride a bike. The group gathered was trying to protect the rider as he belonged to local community. They even managed to hide his licence plate and let him escape so I couldn’t report anything to police. This is why India continues to be a third-world nation.

This is why India continues to be a third-world nation. – Rampa You know Pyare Rampa, you remind me of my dear Grandpa. Hmmm… Pyarelal Rampa and dearest Grandpa…. it rhymes and sure has a nice ring to it too! Anyway, what I wanted to say was you remind me of my Grandpa. You see, in his twilight years the poor fellow became extremely cranky and outspoken. For anything and everything he used to blame Jinnah & Pakistan. For eg., if there was a heavy downpour and he could not walk down to Church, he used to blame Pakistan. If my grandma didn’t fry fish properly (the way he liked it – crispy and crunchy like Lijjat pappads), he would blame Mohd. Ali Jinnah and Pakistan. Even when his pet dog (Tommy) fell into our neighbor’s well (Guvel) and the local Parish Priest said ruled out suicide and declared it to be an unfortunate accident, Grandpa almost bust his chops and claimed that it was a cut-and-dried case of foul-play (of course – by Jinnah & Pakistan)! The poor fellow didn’t eat a morsel for 3 whole days and nights you know! And, it wasn’t even Lent! 🙁 The point, pyare Grandpa,.. I mean, Rampa….. is that there are plenty of similarities between my dearest Grampa and Rampa (you). When anything used to go ‘wrong’, he used to blame Pakistan. When things go ‘wrong’ in India, you blame India and call it a third-world nation! But then, dearest Grandpa spent all his 80 plus years in India. At least the poor old grouch had some reason to crib! BUT, you pyare Rampa, you did ‘Padhrad’ to ‘Phoreen’ when you got 1/3rd an opportunity and are now calling India all kinds of names just because somebody put a small dent on your Bullock cart! 🙁 And YET, you pyare Rampa, you crib like my dearest Grandpa!

From Praveen on The Thannirhalla Ghost

Joker Praveena Pinto, You think your masters will confront Sharia Shaikh and his folks? – Rampu RampaNNA, for ALL the crap that you have been dishing-out and for ALL the titles that you have been conferring on yourself, it is high time you realized the following: 1. It is YOU who very gladly packed up your paraphernalia and assorted gantu-moote (Mridangama incl.) , fled India and are living apparently not too happily in Yumreeka. 2. Yumreeka invaded Iraq and Afghanistan WITHOUT the mandatory UN mandate. On what pretext? That Doobyaman needed more exercise? 3. Yumreeka created the mess that is unfolding in greater Syria. So why NOT ask your nearby senator who will bell Syria/Iraq’s cat? 4. I might have requested you to approach Bobby Jindal and present your case to him. But then, nobody would even elect him to be a Khaap panchayat Chief in rural Tennessee. Also, sadly, he has removed the hyphen from his Indian-American ancestry and hence might remain inaccessible to you. But then, fear not ya Rampa. From the past 2 days you were pairing the RSS with the Indian Armed Forces (just the Army to be specific!). So why not send the two top RSS commando’s (Mohana Bhagawatha and K. S. Sudarshana) on a covert mission to Iraq/Syria and bash the bejesus outta the ISIA? After all, hasn’t the RSS been repulsing the Aryan, Greek, Assyrian, Iranian and Mughal hordes from overwhelming our beloved Bharatha Mata? Mission Impossible? Nah! Mission accomplished! Oh, Ok ya Rampa. you are a ‘phoreener’ to the good old old-fashioned RSS folks. So they might not listen to you again. Ummm.. what next? Hey, why not contact Arnold ‘Shivajinagara’? Why not Syl Stallone? So what if they are all 65+? they STILL have their guns, half-scrambled brains and the US mandate to fire at whim and fancy, right? And hey, why not rope in Bradley Cooper too? With covering sniper fire, gosh….. you guys could hit a barn door with a cannon at point-blank range! I’m speaking with conviction ya Rampa. I have watched those guys beat, whip, shoot everybody and everything from baddies in Vietnam to aliens, not too ‘goodies’ in Afghanistan to ragged Iraq’is to eggs! And a fine omelette it was, I can assure you. As a taxpayer in Yumreeka, you are mopping up the bill – so to speak! So why address what your masters are up to or NOT up to ME, ya RampumpPU?

I only wish human beings could learn a lesson or two from these four-legged creatures. – Origi Rampu For once, I can second that ya Rampa. You see, EVEN a dog would not even wish second class citizenship and/or advocate the Jewish solution for minorities like that Chief Chaddi called ‘GoalMaalaKara’ did in his trash book. Err, what was the name of his book? Khuli Kidki or was it Jungle Love….(Hint: Gajendra Chauhan’s aka Yudhishtir’s earth-shattering movies). 🙂 BUT then, your chea.. I mean..chief chaddi GoalaMaalaKara had NO remorse and/or feelings about penning that trash about minorities in India! AND sadly, you don’t seem to be an Indian citizen although you make it a hopeless point to grind on and on about the UPA Govt. and your not-so-new Chaddi govt. You were NOT happy in India. You did ‘Padhrad – or Sagarollangana’. Are YOU happy there? SIGH! IS THERE any place where you can do ‘Padhimooji’ to? Tried Mongolia? By the way, any more ‘bhangara smuggling’ incidents at Mangalooru Vimaana Nildhana? I haven’t seen any ORIGINAL RamPai investigative journalism of late. All I watch is our dear Arnaba Goswami, and his sidekick called Ananda. But then, I told you that I’m gonna sell of my TV and other other assorted entertainment paraphernalia and concentrate ONLY on your jokes. So, PLEASE don’t let me down. And oh… yenna 1940 Model radio yaan maaruji. Arre.. yaan au radio maarunda, enklena Pradhana Sevaka’na Mann Ki Baath encha kenuni?:) Mann ki Baath kenujjanda enkk nidhre encha booruni? Or, have they (such incidents) subsided/vanished after our Pradhana Sevaka shook hands with Nawaza Shareefa and Shareefa promised to book Lakhvi (the terrorist who was gift-wrapped and delivered – duty FREE to some remote place in Khandhara)? Oh, btw, I might not have known much about Murudeshwara. I think I must thank Mr. Alfie and their Owners/Mgmt/team for posting such informative articles. I learn EVERY single day.. unlike YOU.. who has and have LEARNT everything EVEN before your Kundali and Jathaka was charted out by the great sage called CHAVAN (Hint: Chavanprash). If YOU weren’t chanting praises about your Pradhana Sevaka and singing paeans to Chaddi GoalaMaalaKara and Mohana Bhagawatha, and equated those from RSS with the Indian Armed forces, maybe I could have taken you a bit MORE seriously. A few days more for you to end your fast ya Rampa. And I trust that your hallucinations will clear up and peace will prevail. Pl. revert ya Rampa. 🙂

And, stop pretending to be an expert on American culture by searching random names on google!! – Rampa Ayyo, Rampa. I didn’t know that Google was reserved for YOUR exclusive use! So sorry ya Rampa. But then for a second let us assume that you were kind enough to give me permission to “search” for random names on your blessed Google. Even then, I would STILL need to know some names, right? And for God’s (your imaginary one, of course!) sake, I’m no expert on “American Culture” (McBoddanna’s Burgers – you eat them for a day and you are guaranteed to be a BoddaNNA, Florida French Fries – FFF, Kundapura’da Fried Chicken – KFC, ‘Raskin Bobbins’ (sic), guns, drugs etc). As you very well know, you sacrificed a humble life in Bharatha matha and went to Yumreeka in search of Nirvana. Now that you have attained Nirvana and are the self-professed EXPERT on Yumreeki culture (Kim Kardashian, Bill Maher et al – according to you), please be content. By the way, since when did Kim Kardashian et al become part of “Yumreeki Culture”? That’s a fantastic joke ya Rampa. Hahahahaha. That’s it! I have decided that I don’t need any further entertainment. I’m gonna sell off my TV, DVD player, CD’s, set-top box and PS3 on OLX. I would have sold off (or even gifted away) my 1940 model Telefunken Radio too. But you see ya Rampa, my dearest mother-in-law gifted it to me for my wedding and it has immense sentimental value. Besides, I need it for more entertainment – our beloved Pradhana Sevaka’s ‘Mann Ki Baath’. God bless my dearest MIL – for your Radio God bless you Rampa – for your jokes

From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Local Apostolic Carmel Nuns Spreading their Love, Care & Service in Kenya

What a magnanimous gesture on the part of the Apostolic Carmelite Nuns, mostly from Mangalore, to spread their wings of goodwill and love added with charity and devotion in the land of Kenya and reach out the young children thru the medium of Education. This act of goodwill obviously bring not only India and Kenya together but also will enhance the value of the Apostolic Carmelite Nuns within India. In this fast changing world, acts of this kind on the part of the A.C. nuns will reach out far and clear what is Charity, Love, Devotion, Sacrifice and most importantly Educational value that is transformed into the people of Kenya. Most of the Nuns are highly educated and also highly motivated with the noble cause, and most of the nuns also have the first hand experience for all that they have experienced and proved in the very heart of Mangalore, India. A.C Nuns have a tough of quality as well. In addition to Education and Knowledge, they are also specialized in the aid towards mentally and physically handicapped children. Thousands of children and also tens of thousands of parents are also being benefitted as a result of this proven act of charity and nobility in India. All that we need is to extend our prayers and good wishes at this part of the initial stage of performance. May these Nuns remain safe and peacefully sheltered in all their undertakings in Africa, the land of civilization yet a land of more difficulties and anxieties than many other parts of the world. As much as Africa is advancing reasonably well, there is a long journey yet to be accomplished in educating the local people and making them aware that God is walking with them thru the A.C. Nuns, and all our desires and dedications are meant in the best interest of the people thru the blessings of God. The Bishops of Mangalore also has his kind and generous hands on Tanzania. Each and every act of generosity has a great deal to display towards the needy people of Africa thru the kindness and thoughtfulness of the people of Mangalore. Thank you Sisters. May God bless each and everyone of you abundantly. (Are we seeing Sister Olivia in the photograph?_

Dear readers, My sincere advice to Health and Family Welfare Minister Mr. U T Khader, to introduced new schemes to far reached Hyderabad Karnataka border areas rather than better health covered undivided Canara. Also his government should tie-up with private and government medical colleges to run health camps in rural Karnataka.Diabetic is one of the silent killer in India, which his government need immediate attention. I would also suggest to have understanding with drugs companies to have research centers, bio sample labs,endemic disease rapid action controls. The state government should also set up high tech medical Equipment manufacturing facility with German and Japan manufacturers. He should personally take advice from the best health care countries such as UK,Switzerland and Sweden. It is advisable to cover health care insurance to below poverty line of needy Kannadigas.

However since Modi sarkar came to power everything including “shocking admission” by BJP chief Amit Shah that the promise to deposit Rs 15 lakh in bank account of every family was just an ‘Jumala'(electoral gimmick). What are action taken by Narendra Modi against corruption? Nothing- on the contrary he is supporting corruption…how can you fight against your bankers (companies who give BJP funding for advertising in public elections). He has not even taken action against Robert Vadra (who looted farmers land) but decided to provide him Z+ security Ramdev, Mohan Madhukar Bhagawat and Sangeet som on tax payer’s money off course and provided travel documents to Lalit Modi who embezzled Rs.7 Billion “humane” nature and “nationalistic” spirit. A PM on globetrotting says Na Khaunga, Na Khane Dunga! his ‘Zero’ tolerance against corruption. Modiji Phir Itne Toilets Ki Kya Jarurat? And guess who has he arrested – young students/professionals for small jokes against him on social media, with corrupt politicians and others ………sit next to him in parliament. He decided to increase the rail fare by over 14.2% within 29 days, while Indian Railway lost 5000 Crores because of corruption by Iron Ore exporters. He is for the CORPORATE WORLD…and people who still can not see that are stupid. It won’t surprise me seeing Nalin Kumar cutting ribbons……… having affairs and devoted his time to ‘Virat Hindu Samajotsava.Like pradhan sevaks his followers Na boloonga, Na bol ne doonga. Jai Hind

Indecent, vulgar dancing? Who defines what is vulgar and indecent? If BJP is in power, this would be branded as ‘moral policing’ (literally!!). Remember – If Sharia Pandita and his tribal groups have their way, even Bharata naatyam will be considered very indecent and you will invite a harsh prison sentence if not capital punishment!! The real questions here should be – Were these girls adults or minor? Were they forced to do it or were they doing it voluntarily to earn a living? Did the restaurant have the legal licence to run this business or not? We don’t have any business telling adults on what they choose to do in their privacy.

You see, our 56 Inch Emperor is almost on the verge of getting NRI status. He has been out of the country so often extending lines-of-credit left, right and centre straight that he can’t even remember his address, PAN card and Aadhar Card nos. He and his chamchas went on and on about they would get back black money within 100 days and disburse approx. 15 Lacs to each and every Indian (Unfortunately, you were excluded ya Rampa because you did padhrad to the West many years back). He and his shameless coterie of manthris said that they would bring back Dawood Ibrahim, try him and tar and feather him and parade him around the ‘Laal Kila’. The Pradhana Sevaka went on and on like a broken record muttering – “Na Khaaoonga, Na Khilane Doonga”. And the results EVEN after almost 14 months………..? Shoonya ya Rampa. When will he ever do anything productive besides give speeches and distributing Dhoklas from Mongolia to Mauritania? No 15 lacs in my account…. Dawood Ibru is playing Golf in Karachi and Dubai and Sushma, Vasu raje, Vyapam accused are all busy ‘Khaaoing’. So just think over what I said ya RampaNNA.

Sri Modiji came to power in 2014. You want him to fix every problem in a year? – PyareLallu Rampu Arre Rampu, Forget about a year ya Rampa. EVEN before he came to power, he cuckolded the gullible masses by promising the following: 1. Return of Black money (from ‘phoreen’ op coj) within 100 days and then distributing it WITHIN 150 days to all citizens of India (MINUS you, op coj). 2. The arrest of your best friend – Dawooda Ibraheema. (The fellow is still playing Golf in Karachi and sipping his cognac with impunity everywhere else EXCEPT in India). 3. The Pradhana Sevaka said he would not take bribes or EVEN allow his chamchas to take them. As sure as you are wearing dhogla chaddis and he is feasting on dhoklas, his party members are feasting, eating and making merry. (As compared to our PM distributing money to even Mongolians while our ex-servicemen are crying for equitable pensions). The PM had promised to pass the OROP bill EVEN before he came to power. What has happened EVEN after 14 months? More ‘phoreen’ trips? Signing MoU’s with Mongolia and lending them money…. err.. what for? Shaking hands with Nawaz Shareef and handing over Lakhvi’s voice samples for the N+1th time? Voicing rhetoric from ‘MaddySon’ square to Nehru maidan? Reminding people like you how ASHAMED Indians were to be born in India so that they could run away to some ‘phoreen’ land to earn a few cents more? Arre Rampa.. he has been asking people to “Make in India”. At least make a TRIP to India if you can’t do anything more. Spend a few paisas. I’m quite sure that banks such as JP Morgan Chase Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citigroup etc won’t mind a bit when you spend a few paisas in India. Modi NEEDS YOU ya Rampu. 🙂 So, what are YOU waiting for ya Rampa? bale.. Bale… bega India’g bale. Btw, did you get any proof regarding my allegedly rejected US visa?

From Brian on Mangaluru: Milagreans Celebrate 'Institution Day' Singing 'Ave Maria' to their Patroness

Thank you Alfie for all that information. Expanding on the statement in the article: “Milagres school was founded by Bishop Bernadin in 1848” – According to catholic-hierarchy.org, Bernardo (Philip) Pontanova, O.C.D. was officially the Titular Bishop of Tanis. Appointed 6 May 1845, ordained bishop 5 Oct 1845, and died 13 Mar 1853. He appears to have been appointed simultaneously as the Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese Of Quilon for exactly the same period. Archdiocese was Verapoly. At other places, the name appears as Bernardine of St. Agnes. There was at the time the ongoing conflict of jurisdiction between the the bishops appointed by the pope (vicars Apostolic of propaganda) and the bishops appointed by the Portuguese under the padroado rights. Some Catholics in Mangalore (essentially illiterate and led by the priests with differing loyalties) followed one jurisdiction while the others followed the second one. Bajpe/Pezar is a good example for the two camps of the Catholics at the time. Interesting too as all this happened just 50 years after the folks came back from Mysore (Tipu Sultan died 1799).

From shaikH MOhD rizwtan on UAE: Dr Zakir Naik to Give Lecture in English on Sunday, 18 Ramadan

Actions speak louder than words-Mr.Nelso Lewis Sir, He use to be my next block neighbour studying medicine. He has married to a widow. I don’t know where you got his well crafted personal biography. He is still staying in the same block where he use to. If ‘Black label’ certainly his choice he would continued practicing medicine .Keeping dogs in Islam is not an compulsion or prohibited but do with certain conditions.Since you are earlier Middle East residence,you must have seen ‘Badhu’ keeping type of hunting dogs. His mother tongue is Konkani which is different dialect than one you speak. Where as English is a International Language which he choose to spread the truth though ‘comparative religion’.Well suit which he wears has no ‘monograms’ and trousers are above the ankle bone as per Islamic hygiene requirement. When Jews can wear skull cap and suit ,what is wrong with his attire which is decent and covers the maximum of his body? Well he is from Konkan region of Maharashtra his cuisine include both veg and non-veg. I am not a admirer of him. But it is my right to bring the truth which you people constantly spreading. His mission is comparative religion and the audience can be anyone who seeks truth and one God and true messanger. I may sincerly request you not spread lies in this forum. Jai Hind

“I may sincerely request you not spread lies in this forum” writes Sharia Shaikh. True – Only Sharia Pandita has the right to spread lies on this forum in the name of ‘truth’. After all, this is approved by ‘old book’ in the name of ‘taqiyya’!! Sharia Pandita and his group are hell-bent on taking all of humanity back to 7th century medieval tribalism filled with ignorance and violence. Look how owning a pet is also guided by his tribal belief system!! This is a sickness!! Every true rational, secular person should thank strong Western Military (Doddaanna, Israel etc) and a strong domestic forces like RSS, Indian police and Army for keeping human progress alive. In the absence of these forces, there will be no freedom or science. We all will be living like 7th century tribal groups.

I remember all the celebrations you and other illiterates had when Sri Modiji’s US visa got rejected!! Go back and read my posts in all these years trying to educate you political illiterates on how the international politics worked and why the ban on visa meant nothing.

In the Middle East they have a dress code or uniform. But some of these guys are just confused that they went to their woman’s wardrobes and put on their clothes possibly without even realizing this mistake. Now that he is in trouble he has figured what went wrong. It is just a coincidence that the men who robed the bank, also wore woman’s clothes. Is that one of the reasons why the Europeans are banning the veil? I don’t know.

From Max E Rasquinha on Mangaluru: Milagreans Celebrate 'Institution Day' Singing 'Ave Maria' to their Patroness

So nice to read the historical background of the Milagres Church as well as Milagres School that I had never known before. Milagres School was always ggifted with some of the fine teachers, and the Parish was always supportive of the Education and therefore we as students were always able to pay a visit to the nearby church as often as possible. Memories of the school, the tiny class rooms flooded with students, the play ground facilities and many other extra-curricular studies including the weaving classes are all the golden memories of Milagres that I often recollect and remain proud. The Educational foundation of India up to the High School is so strong and deep, and that goes to prove how beneficial the school was to all of us that enabled us to pursue our future goals by leaving Mangalore at an early age. Milagres Church has always been a prominently located in the center of Hampankatta. Although the High School is now expanded to upper floors with modern facilities, the place is now surrounded by shops and office buildings, and of course with the growing traffic and growing population Milagres area is a busy place throughout the week. Fortunately the Milagres Church and the parking facility is still ideal. Thanks for sharing the story of Milagres.

When I see Dr. Zakir Hussain in suits, he reminds me of an Indian politician who always claims that he is serving the people of his State, but he lives in a bungalow, has Black Label, loves good cuisine, sends his children to convent schools, has dogs of pedigree and has given them Western names. If he is really serving his people, then he should stay in a tenement or simple house, consume country made liquor, have traditional food, including dhal bhaat and chutney, send his children to local or religious schools, keep pariah dogs as pet, etc. In short, whatever a person utters, “Actions speak louder than words.”

Since Dr. Zakir Naik is an Islamic speaker on Islam, he should be totally Islamic in thought, word and deed. He should speak in Arabic (or Urdu, though this language should not have been the national language of Pakistan, but Punjabi) and not in English. He should not dress in suits, but should be in attire worn by Muslims – either an or an Indian Muslim attire. Why is he wearing suits that does not go well with the skull cap that he wears and considering his functions and missions in life.

From Nelson Lewis on Men dressed as woman held in Kuwait and Saudi

By virtue of Saudi Arabia sitting on huge reserves of petroleum crude, it is quite wealthy, but in many ways it is a very, very backward country. You see in Saudi Arabia, the ladies being forced to wear the burka and not allowed to drive vehicles. There is no democracy, no human rights, no churches, temples, bars, cinema halls and all other things that are considered permissible in most countries. However, Saudias are hypocites. They take great pride in setting up grand mosques abroad, patronising bars, night clubs and indulging in other things that naughty and flirty people consider as good things of life.

From Nelson Lewis on Men dressed as woman held in Kuwait and Saudi

Irrespective of what diehard and fanatical elements may say about Saudi Arabia, my personal opinion is that most Saudis have a low intellect but have an exaggerated importance of themselves, are very arrogant, lack manners and do not have any humanity. In this modern age, they have Sharia laws and they have moral policing of cities and towns there. In Saudi Arabia, it is not a matter of what nationals and expatriates can do, but it is always a case of, “This is illegal and that is immoral.” Therefore, having been born up in such regimented environments, the moment Saudis go abroad, they drink like a fish, run after women and do other immoral things, as if there is no tomorrow for them. The Royal family and moral police have a “tacit” understanding. The Royal family does not interfere in the workings of the moral police (even if they overstep) and vice versa. In their palaces, the members of the Royal family enjoy themselves, be it Playboy magazines and many other things, but these and most things are a taboo to the 99% of the masses, who go to Thailand, Philippines, Egypt and other places to satisfy their naughty activities, the moment they get the opportunity.

From shaikH MOhD rizwtan on Bengaluru: Four charge-sheeted for supplying explosives to terror outfits

Dear readers, National Investigation Agency Files Closure Report in 2008 Modasa Bombing Case http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/national-investigation-agency-files-closure-report-in-2008-modasa-bombing-case-779202 The National Investigation Agency (NIA),which has asked the Special Public Prosecutor(Ms.Salian) to go soft on saffron terrorist involved in Malegaon terror attack, has filed its closure report in the 2008 Modasa bombing case in Gujarat citing lack of evidence and inability to trace the main culprit. It was during Ramzan in 2008 when suspected terrorists blasted an explosive-laden motorcycle in a busy market on September 29 at 9.25 PM killing a 15-year-old boy and injuring 10 others. The agency was looking for the two main accused “Sandeep Dange and Ramji Kalsangra”, who were suspected to have orchestrated the Modasa, Malegaon and Samjhauta blasts. This is the first closure report filed in seven right wing terror cases. The NIA has also returned the Sunil Joshi murder case back to Madhya Pradesh after the agency claimed that no case under Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act was made. Joshi is a charge sheeted accused in the Samjhauta train blast case. Can we see impartial investigation from PM Modi led government on this case which is grave danger for internal security of this country. The government should fully investigate and prosecute the 4 accused and speed up the sentence of Ahmed Siddiappa(Yasin Bhatkal) on terror cases. Jai Hind

Thanks God, we have RSS and Indian Army-Mr.Original Pai Dear readers, Once again Atheist Mr.Original dragged himself in religious talks and exposed his true identity. We are witnessing a concerted attempted the RSS attempt to establish fanatic Golwalkar as the the “Prophet of resurgent India”, a saint the best son of Bharat Mata and the biggest gift to the Hindu society in the 20th century ( sorry to mention, they have failed in it). This in spite of the fact hat Golwalkar, throughout his life, remained committed to the concept of Hindutva which meant an inherent faith in casteism , Racisim and Imperialism. He stood for the establishment of a Hindu rastra ( he even has fake atheist as a follower) or nation where minorities could exist only as second class citizens. Golwalkar,as the of the RSS was never able to hide his opposition to any movement against the foreign rule. As late as March 1947 when the British rulers had decided, in principle to go away from India. Golwalkar while addressing the annual day function of the RSS at Delhi declared that narrow vision were trying to oppose the state power of the British. While elaborating this point further, he said that it was wrong to hold the powerful foreigners responsible for the country’s ills ( he had a problem with foreign religions, the height of hypocrisy). He decried the tendency of initiating the political movements on the basis of our hatred towards our victors- Shri Guruji Samagar Darshan Vol-4 Nagpur Bharatiya Vichar Sadhana P-2 I hope RSS fake atheist will have something to say this, may he is busy cleaning in US and he claims to be an Apple consultant. I doubt that with limited knowledge he pose he cannot be a consultant in Apple. He can lie isn’t, his master Golwalkar lied a lot and deceived the nation what is there for him to spread lies.

“Buffalo meat isn’t beef,” says Vinod Bansal, spokesperson for Vishva Hindu Parishad, a Hindu nationalist organization. “Only cow meat is beef and India doesn’t export that. And if a Hindu eats beef he or she cannot be called a Hindu.” Dear readers, It seems Mangalore unit VHP doesn’t now what is the difference between cow and buffalo. After successful experiment of Maharashtra cow ban to punish Muslims economically hard now they want to extend it to non-BJP ruled state. How does cow is not holp in BJP ruled Goa but Karnataka is different? Why not this Gorakshka committee Bhata organise historic protest in front of PMO,Agriculture minister office and ask for demand complete export ban? Why does Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to China last month may have cleared the way for export of the meat to the world’s biggest market two years after an agreement was signed? If cow population is feared decreased citing agrarian reason, why don’t it distribute milk in Anganvadi schools free instead of forcing them for Yoga? Out of six largest meat suppliers in India four are Hindus

From Max Rasquinha on Bengaluru: Public Relations Council of India Celebrates Daughters Day

Right step in the right direction from the Public Relations Council of India by celebrating “Daughters Day” in India. This is a fitting occasion in a country such as India where statistics reveal that there are more than five hundred million daughters, young and old, far and near, that deserve to be honored on this auspicious day. Although God did not gift us with a daughter, we have many many daughters all over the globe that we can honor and felicitate on this great day. Every woman is a daughter, and therefore every woman deserves to be honored on this day. The women of India are marching forward with high colors because of their ‘forward looking’ natures and abilities as well as their talents. India’s progress from all fronts of the society is attributable to the women who have been daughters for their parents all the time. The World at large is placing their glimpse on India for the advancement of women both intellectually as well as socially. They are also moving forward in a brilliant way even politically. Many Mayors of the City, many Governors and also Chief Ministers the ladies have taken over and proved themselves to be worth of their prestigious position. Best of luck to all the “DAUGHTERS” of India. They are the “Crown Jewels” of our nation. They are smart, they are outgoing and they are worthy of many new responsibilities that our country need to confer upon in the days ahead.

From Sundar Muthanna on What is Kodagu’s Future in the Years Ahead? - Asks Air Marshal K C Cariappa

The people of Kodagu, Dakshina and Uttara Kannada, Hassan and Chikmagalur are about to lose their wooded landscape forever. The Kasturirangan report having been rejected and today’s newspaper (8th July 2015) says development projects (to be read as eco-destruction projects) will be allowed in the Ecologically Sensitive Areas (ESAs) in Karnataka. Soon this beautiful Malnad region will look like the Mysore or Hubli region. 25,000 acres have been earmarked for industrial development near Madikeri. A railway track is planned from Mysore to Kushalnagar on the border of Kodagu and then to Madikeri. Lakhs and lakhs of trees will be cut for the so-called development. This railway line is actually financially not viable (only the timber money can make it viable). Inflated tourism figures are given to break resistance to the railway. People who are not from Kodagu are being asked what they want for Kodagu. Even the MP Pratap Simha is helping to clear the way for the project. What hope do we have? Who gives the ruling government the power to destroy precious environmental resources that have belonged to the people for thousands of years? We do. We the people of the western ghats who stay quiet as mice, no matter what the elected representatives do. Without the trees, bushes and animals that make up the landscape, soon the 7 rivers of Kodagu: Cauvery, Barapole, Lakshmanatheertha, Nagarahole, Harangi, Payaswini and Kumaradhara will reduce in volume and later stop flowing. The worst affected will be the people of Mysore, Mandya, Bangalore and the Cauvery-dependent region of Tamilnadu. The solution lies in the western ghat communities burying their differences and becoming a vote bank that demands ecological protection as a voting platform. Did that make you laugh ironically? You may yet have the last laugh if the people don’t hear the wake up call.

From Vinayak on Udupi: Eden Heritage Residents File suit against Builders for Violating Agreement Norms; Builder Clarifies

Most of the builders go against the deed once they have the money in hand and the flat is been handed over. I think the residents have taken a very good step, which would a lesson to other builders also. I encountered same issue while I brought a flat from one of the prominent builder in M’lore. When all the residents told him that we would go to the court of law, he had no other way than to honor the deed and construct the facility. They only give reasons of extension and so on, but if one keeps quiet, then it is never going to happen and the builder shall be one happy man, living the residents in misery. Though bit expensive, it is always better to buy ready for pocession appartments, as one can see the property and its arrangements and then decide whether to go ahead or no. Buying the property at the ground breaking level is good, but at the end we encounter with issues.

It’s very interesting to see the exchange between Sharia Pandita and Roy. Intellectual dishonesty and shameless loyalty towards foreign masters are the two common threads binding them together even when they think they are fighting over all these ‘differences’!! LOL As I have always maintained on this forum, the opportunistic but unsustainable alliance between these two groups is entirely based on a common hatred towards sanaathana groups. No matter how much you try to educate them on facts and history, they will never see the reality!! If you think Sharia Pndita is annoying, get a boat load of this Roy!! If I am right, this is the same guy who accused Sam Harris of attacking ‘only Christians’!! This is the same guy who accused Libertarians of ‘rejecting’ global warming while giving a pass to his religious leaders. When did Rick Santorum, Jeb Bush, Rick Perry, Ann Coulter and many other conservatives become libertarians? What a joke!! I do reject all religious hypocrisy and ignorance. I don’t care if Raghaveshwara swamiji or Nithyaananda belong to sanaathana group or not. I don’t care if superstition at Subrahamanya temple is sanaathana or not. My criticism is based on intellectual honesty and ideals I believe in. Don’t expect Sharia or Roy to go against their masters anytime soon! LOL

From shaikH MOhD rizwtan on UAE: Dr Zakir Naik to Give Lecture in English on Sunday, 18 Ramadan

Mr.Jay,Sir, Thanks for your gratitude and wishes for me and my extended family. Well I just presented the same quotes in its full context. You can twist whichever way it suits to you. You are rightly said preaching someone is easy than following it. You can reserve full rights to your objections against ‘Jaziya tax’ .However you are willing to pay service tax,income tax what else what not in modern day without any tax benefits. Ironically sharia law is applicable to followers of Islam. It has never been forced as the mass media and people who distort. Even British in India have followed ‘Mohammeden law’ and was in force till Dr.Ambedkar wrote the constitution. I sincerely advise you to implement at least one versus of Holy Mathew in your daily life rather than presenting gullible internet search engine. Hope almighty guide you to the right path. Jai hind

From Jay on UAE: Dr Zakir Naik to Give Lecture in English on Sunday, 18 Ramadan

SMR – by saying “Tax Collector” did you mean Jaziya tax, it seems that you are still reminiscing of the past. Gone were those days where our forefathers were forced to pay, and lived in submission as second class citizens in dimmitude. Please do not quote scripture to me, in the Bible even the devil has quoted from scripture. Quoting is easy, but living by example and treating others the same way we like to be treated is hard. I believe in democracy and freedom, in the equality of man, and justice for all, unlike in Sharia which is exactly the opposite. I am of the opinion that I’m on the right path, and thanks, but no thanks for your prayers to your almighty. Please reserve all of the same for you and your loved ones, I am very happy where I am.

St.Agnes college is also autonomous?-Atheist Mr.Original Pai Dear readers, Our Mr.Original express deep anguish due to more schools and colleges getting autonomous. Now he and RSS will find difficult to brainwash young minds by introducing ‘Tiruga-murga’ history based on mythology to believe in elephant head transplant,mystic space technology etc. His RSS Guru in the earlier days inspired Hitlers syllabus now want to try it in India to achive Hindu Rashtra to rule with iron grip. Thereby pushing the country to 9 century B.C with no option to force ‘Yoga’ ,’GoMutra’ as an healing touch. In Maharashtra the experiment is already commence with de-recognising Islamic Madrasa. In Vaypam scam M.P students are made to look up for sky in the of namasakar and even egg is off the menu.Later take credit of malnutrition linking it to beauty. Madhya Pradesh CM Chouhan Thinks Eggs Make Children Insensitive, Bans Them From Mid-Day Meals http://www.scoopwhoop.com/news/mp-cm-bans-eggs-in-mid-day-meals/ The long term agenda of RSS is at risk.So it is obvious that Mr.Original who seek education in Christian missionary school wants to pay the ‘Gurudakshina’ by is objection.

From shaikH MOhD rizwan on UAE: Dr Zakir Naik to Give Lecture in English on Sunday, 18 Ramadan

Dear Mr.Jay, This is full quote of Mathew Chapter 5:43“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[a] and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.When you present reference of holy books quote should be in full context. Please understand the whole context and do not behave like Pagans.In debate there is always opposing and favoring side.If opposing party try to pounce it will mimic ‘Fish market’ or Arnab Goswami anchor cum jurist win-win all the time. I don’t know where you get all the those exaggerated statistical figures presenting like a ‘Tax collector’. If you believe in ‘freedom of expression’ the debate should impartial and more specific to the subject. The truth is always bitter. So kill the massanger by imposing the visa ban.However glorify the others with rewards of asylum those having similar interest. You are making good progress.Please dedicate your more time reading and understanding the holy scripts rather than scrolling through Youtube.com to produce your meaningless arugement. I pray to almighty to show you the right path. “It may be that God will ordain love between you and those whom you hold as enemies. For God has power over all things; and God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful”Chapter Name:Al-Mumtahina Verse No:7 Jai Hind

From A.Noronha on Mangaluru: Falnir Road Renamed after Mother Teresa

Blessed Theresa was one of the greatest souls that lived. But she would Never Dishonor anyone to gain honor. With all due respects to her my only question to the members of the naming committee is , aren’t there enough nameless roads to choose from, do you have to Dishonor someone to Honor someone else ? Mother theresa was too noble to do so.

Tit for Tat. When we encroach and destroy the forest, this is what happens. We humans have been too selfish and have been destroying the habitat of these prime species. Where shall they go for their food ? At the end, they have not other way than to invade into human boundries. Hope the animal does not get hurt by the hands of these people. Like the saying goes, “Better late than never”….. time to understand of ecosystem and respect mother nature. Plant trees and give the habitat back to these animals.

From Vinayak on Patient in B'lore who received Leena Binoy's Liver Dies within 24 hours of Transplant

Were not doctors aware that even if they transplanted the liver what would be the survival chances of the patient ? since his by birth liver was fully damaged and was not responding to any medical assistance. Very sad that the sacrifice done by Leena’s family to another human being has left this world. Can the liver be again harvested and used for someone else ?

From Lawrence on Mangaluru: Falnir Road Renamed after Mother Teresa

We do not need to name any roads after Mother Theresa. She has been already accepted as a Saint by billions even before declaring her as Saint. We shouldn’t change the name of the road once named after a freedom fighter, that too a lady. Mary Britto’s name should be reinstated. I know there are quite a few Mangalorean Catholics have sacrificed their fortune for the betterment of Mangalore. They should be remembered.

From Jay on UAE: Dr Zakir Naik to Give Lecture in English on Sunday, 18 Ramadan

SMR – Zakir may be a scholar to you, but definitely not for me. Do you believe that everyone (including you) has the freedom of speech? If so, please the foregoing twice before commenting. When Zakir was denied a visa and his entry banned all over the West in general, he hired top most lawyers who argued his case in our courts for over a year, but when an overwhelming evidence on tape was produced in court, the judges upheld the ban and he will never be allowed to step foot on our soil. Now you could feel that this was not right, and instead have issues with Salman Rushdie and Taslima Nasrin, but they too had their days in court and the judges threw out the arguments against them, and instead provided them with police protection because of treats on their lives. When Bin Laden was polled as a Hero by 84% of respondents in the Islamic world, the West accepted this as the opinion of the people from that part of the world. But when our press dubbed Zakir as “A Preacher of hate” based on facts presented in court, objections were raised. In today’s world it is time that you and your ilk accept and agree that each and every has the right to his or her opinion as long as it is based on facts, it does not infringe on others democratic rights and keeps the peace. You say quote the Bible, and it is time you also live up to one of the best quotes from this book ‘LOVE YOUR ENEMIES AND PRAY FOR THOSE WHO PERSECUTE YOU”

From Nelson Lewis on UAE: Dr Zakir Naik to Give Lecture in English on Sunday, 18 Ramadan

Dear Mr. Jay, I read your post and completely agree with your views. I just do not believe and trust Godmen and Babas in any religion. If you watch the lectures conducted by Dr. Zakir Hussain on the electronic media, I get the idea that the members of the audience attending the same are mosttly uneducated oand not well read lot. They appear to be to be the gullible, ignorant and naive types, who easily fall prey to any person who is an accomplished speaker – irrespective of the fact that he is talking the truth or bullshitting. We have had many examples in the past, i.e. Adolph Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Josef Stalin, Sir Winston Churchill and we have many cases in India too.

From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Mangaluru: Falnir Road Renamed after Mother Teresa

Thank you, dear Mayor Jacinta, for your timely effort in naming the Falnir Road as Mother Theresa Road. Very soon when Blessed Mother Theresa is proclaimed as a Saint this road will become more prominent than ever before. Falnir has always been an elite road that linked Hampankatta and Kankanady. The name can always be short-named as MT ROAD for purpose of convenience, but it is amazing to know and tell the whole world that we now have a MOTHER THERESA ROAD that virtually links my beloved Kankanady School and the Milagres School where I have spent more than seven years of my school journey that has taken me to some of the major Highways and Skyiways of the beautiful World. I do not know why Mary Britto is a forgotten name in Mangalore. Mary Britto has dedicated a great deal of her time towards the welfare of Mangalore. I know how Mary Britto has worked hard with many other Council Members during her time and dedicated for the cause of Mangalore. Again, the family of Mary Britto have to come forward and give much more to the City, and that is the added strength for remembering the name of late Mary Britto. We remember her well, and so also many Brittos that lived in and around Falnir Road.

From shaikH MOhD rizwan on Udupi: Narendra Modi's 'mann-ki-baat' has turned to 'monkey-ki-baat' – Janardhan Poojary

Dear readers, These days PM Modi is copying whatever his best friend Barrack who denied and hugged later. While Indians who went to the US shore finding for ‘Green back’ uncle supported him like celebrity returned from Mars. His paid PR APCO worldwide copied ‘man ki bath’ from Barrak weekly address. Left hand man waving cheering ‘Baniyas’ crowd and may be eating ‘Dhokla’ in left hand and using ‘Toilet roles’ in same. He remained silent whenever he needs to address and to his reward by keeping silence. He and his ‘good governance’ continued to remain silent bullying voters 15lakh, black money, communal violence,pink revolution, Ghar vapasi, Subhash Chandra Bose file…… Sadly he don’t even know how to address state dignitary and don’t understand M-R-S and Mrs. difference but want to take credit #SelfieWithDaughter. Did his American good buddy ‘Barrack’ ever reminded him that ‘Selfie is stated ‘disorder’ Psychiatric assosiation?? AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCIATION MAKES IT OFFICIAL: ‘SELFIE’ A MENTAL DISORDER AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCIATION MAKES IT OFFICIAL: ‘SELFIE’ A MENTAL DISORDER Better stop is shlokas on radio and it is time to walk the talk.

From shaikH MOhD rizwan on Bengaluru: BJP to strengthen presence in south India

Dear readers, The southern states of India ruled by non-BJP states should go on high alert. Particularly state of Karnataka, Telangana and Kerala should take precaution as the big wave of communal violence like Muzzafarnagar may strike with increasing risk of Kerala being at large. With decreasing surge of Modi wave and false promises the BJP in center will utilize all its manpower to influence the government functioning and blame the respective state. As development became elopment of those voter waiting for their ample share of 15 lakh check, once again RSS will ask its ‘Karsevakas’ to contribute to field work for canvassing. Casteism, criminal,corruption and communal are the four solid pillars for RSS political wing BJP to survive anywhere in India.So BJP may resort to its old communal trick by luring voters by dividing the community on the lines of religion. Pakistani born L.k.Advani already predicted ‘EMERGENCY’ in this regard. Jai hind
