    Dear readers, The RSS international wing VHP is only good in safe guarding ‘Cow’ which India’s daughters are still being getting rapped even after strict ‘Moral police’. Why can’t this group protect women forced in brothels and our daughters being aborted in clinics? I would appreciate these members to adopt a pair of unproductive cows and marry of sisters behind the doors selling their skin. Let show the humanity by implementing themselves rather than preaching others. Jai hind

  • From Nelson Lewis on Mangaluru: Cheshire Home reaches 50th Milestone with Dignity and Pride Serving Disabled Folks

    Group Capt. Leonard Cheshire set up his first home in India at Bombay, namely on the Mahakali Caves Road and acknowledges the support and help that he received from the residents of the locality. During an electronic interview, he told the interviewer that if a similar scenario for dropping the atomic bombs occurred, he would have no qualms in the use of such weapons. It is President Harry Truman, a Missouri-based lawyer, authorised the dropping of atomic bombs. Naive people will term him as a satan or a mass murderer. However, in reality he led a simple life while he was in White House or otherwise and when he handed over the reins of office to his successor, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, he and his wife travelled with their belongings in his own car from Washington to his town in Missouri.

  • From Nelson Lewis on Mangaluru: Cheshire Home reaches 50th Milestone with Dignity and Pride Serving Disabled Folks

    Most well-informed person have heard of Group Captain Leonard Cheshire, especially those interested in World War II which went on for six years. Finally, Germans (and Axis powers) were forced to surrender in early May 1945 to Gen. Dwight Eisenhower and Japanese capitulated in early August 1945 and signed the surrender documents on an American warship to Gen. Douglad McArthur. Japanese surrendered only after two atom bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on, if my memory serves me right, 06th and 08th August 1945, respectively. The first bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima by a B-29 superfortress bomber, named Enola Gay, by Lt. Col. Paul W. Tibbets honouring his mother and this large bomber had a crew complement of nine men. It is people who have not taken the troubles to study about World War II and what prompted U.S.A. (and the Allies) to drop atom bombs on mainland Japan, accuse her of being the only country in history to use the atom bombs and create destruction of life and property on a gigantic sale. In fact, Germans would have been the first to develop atom bombs and jet fighters, the latter on a massive scale, had not the uneducated, stupid and crazy man, Adolph Hitler, vetoed it and had not, the Americans and the British having got a whiff about nuclear developments while interrogating two German Generals taken prisoners-of-war, launched pre-emptive, sustained and massive bombings of German nuclear facilities at Peenemunde. Group Capt. Leonard Cheshire was a highly decorated R.A.F. bomber pilot. During the atomic bombing of Nagasaki he, as an Observer, flew his aircraft at a high altitutude and reported what he saw. In response to my letter, he responded and justified the bombing because he said, amongst all the combatants on both sides, thw Japanese were the toughest and most ferocious fighters and even when Americans came with naval flotilla and Marines, surrounded the Japanese-occipied islands and plastered them with heavy naval gun fire and launched ground invasion of the islands, they fought till end and, rather than bearing the ignomity of surrender, preferred committing harakiri. Unlike many nationalities, even the present day Japanese are highly disciplined when it comes to work, appointments, not littering the surroundings, etc. Some years ago, Tsumani struck Japan and many Malls were destroyed or badly damaged and everything in these Malls were available for shop lifting, but there were no thefts reported. As per Group Capt. Chesire, 80,000 people were killed, on an average, every fortnight of the war and that was the number of people killed by one atom bomb during that period. Atomic bombing expedited early end to the war in the east or it would have lasted, considering the ferocity of Japanese, two more years.

    Very informative article. In my younger days, visiting Alleppey was such a rare and delightful trip; travelling through the straight national highway 47 in those olden days over half a century back was a different feeling of relaxation, then the beach and sea food. Now, through the house boats, the tourists can get far deeper knowledge and entertainment out of this beautiful place called the “Venice of the east”.

      Padubidri Shetty,who has gone bonkers the moment Poojari told the Hindus that RSS and BJP should ban export of beef, condemns Poojari for no fault. India is the world’s largest exporter of beef. Modi wants the foreign exchange earnings by selling beef and at the same time he poses to be the champion of prohibition of cow slaughter! VAJPAYEE ALSO DID THE SAME THING AS THE PM. MODI SHOULD TELL INDIA HOW HE EXPORTS BEEF, WITHOUT KILLING THE COWS!!!

  • From Jay on Mangaluru: VHP will Take Measures to Safeguard Cows - Dinesh Pai

    ORP “What a depressing society!!” Yeah, look at the pictures some of them are right there. The world has many sick people, and we have our share of sick and wilfully ignorant. As stated, the government MUST legalize slaughter houses, enact laws for the safe transportation and humane treatment of ALL animal. But regrettably the VHP wants special treatment for cows only? Hence, if VHP chooses to protect cows only and they are very serious about it, here is what they need to do. Start collecting moneys by setting up a multi billion dollar fund and make solid ongoing arrangements for regular cash flow, because the only revenues one could get from the old cows is the sale of Gow-Muthra. 1. Establishing and constantly expanding the every growing demand for Gow-Shallas across India. 2. Purchasing each and every old cow at premium price, thereby ensuring that the butcher does not get his hands on even a single cow. 3. Provide sufficient cash flow account to take care of millions of cows daily needs of food, medicine, housing, animal hospitals and advanced health care for cows only, etc 4. Employ and pay salaries for vets and allied staff. 5. Cremation facilities for deceased cows. 6. Since the leather, cosmetic, medicine and allied industries work on remnants of the cow industry you need to address alternatives to satisfy those demands. But we don’t see any of the above happening. Instead, the cow is sold to the butcher and the cheque. So now comes in the VHP who demand that the butcher should not to kill the cow? What nonsense is this? He purchased the cow, it is his, and he could do what he pleases. Stop shedding crocodile tears and supporting those who are flexing their muscles, it is high time we put an end to this non sense.

Great idea for all the young women to brighten their minds and hearts with light that is a daily gift of God from heaven to this earth. Without light we will be in darkness. Life in darkness would have been a life in denial. Light is truly a gift from God so that each day the Sun will help us to rise and re-dedicate ourselves to the purpose and meaning God has brought us to life.

With heavy increase in population and pumped house hold usefrom wells , Rais D.K will dry up in the almost 8 months of non rainy months.Go to Dharmasthala or Kollur or Subramoniam and see the filthy pool the great rivers are from January on . Deforestatin and extensive plantation has dried out the ever green areas of the S.Canara .The rejuvenation after Kudremuk minie was shut down has not brought back the original forest till now Take up the Yethin hole link which can later be used for the south Canara .

Remember – your foreign masters may have taught you many self-hating things including how to hate your own heritage and native dressing styles. It doesn’t mean anything to rest of us. As I have already stated, I agree that this is a much larger issue with huge financial impacts on millions of people. Unless we address the side-effects of ‘ksheera kraanti’, this issue will go on! If VHP is honest about the issue, they need to address the root cause first!!

Can BJP release figures of additional power output from 2004 to 2012(Including coalition with JD(S) when it was ruling in Karnataka? The social media which was taken over by BJP can explain, how CM Siddaramaiah will add additional MW when there is deficit in annual rainfall? Let’s Siddu stop selling the power to BJP ruled Goa and demand additional power from National grid of Kaiga. Is Modi government in center ready to help Karnataka from ‘Kathalbagya’?

  • From Original R.Pai on Bantwal: Veda Teacher who Mercilessly Thrashed Student Reportedly Absconding

    “The teacher is also heard as having questioned his family background by asking whether he was a Brahmin or a Kshatriya, which many have felt as suggestive of a strong casteist bias. The incident is said to have taken place in a temple near Vittal in the taluk ” – Report. First of all, this temple is not ‘near’ Vittal, it is in the heart of vittal !!! Any person with an ounce of honesty can clearly see how teacher’s comments were not at all based on caste bias!!! Boy was getting disciplined for being a troublemaker. He was questioning why the boy sat on a chair specially designated for ‘arasu’ (Vitla has a royal family who are given a special treatment at local temple – This family belongs to ksatriya group). You can clearly hear teacher asking – ‘neenaa arasu ?’ (Are you the king?). At the end of video, teacher briefly reminds boy of his father’s sacrifice and poor working conditions. Based on the description, I have a feeling that Boy’s father works for a catering group. (‘kichu’ is the word for ‘fire’ in havyaka language) As I have said many times before, I fully reject corporal punishment in our society. Nobody has the right to physically abuse others. Be it parents, teachers or police. Oh well…

  • From Original R.Pai on Mangaluru: VHP will Take Measures to Safeguard Cows - Dinesh Pai

    Jay’s post is a good example of how confused the ‘naalige chapala’ crowd is!! Is he for banning the cow slaughter OR legalizing it OR ….? Is he for ethical treatment of animals OR animal cruelty? It’s hard to tell. He seems to be blaming everyone except the ones who are engaged in illegal cow trafficking. (I can see why as he and illegal cow traffickers share a common hatred towards sanaathana groups!!) Also, his comments on ‘clothes’ reflect his self-hating personality taught by masters. Sad but true! Irrespective of whether you belong to ‘naalige chapala’ group or not, if you support the kind of cruel treatment these poor animals suffer in the hands of those ‘raakshasa’ people, you certainly need some medical help!! @ Dinesha Pai, Shenava and others – You guys are not going to solve this problem as long as there is a huge demand for milk and dairy products in our society. The demand-supply model will always result in millions of ‘disposable’ cows in our society that are sold to butchers by our farming community. This model was created by one ‘Kurian’ in the name of ‘ksheera kranti’ in India. In this model, animals are purely seen as milk/meat/leather supplying sources. It has no ethical or moral values behind the model. Also, your stand on bullocks and buffaloes show that you guys are no better than those slaughtering cows!! What a depressing society!!

        It’s hard to understand the ethical/moral significance when you are taught to self-hate and blindly follow a foreign culture by your distant masters. You are simply a puppet and there is no point in blaming you for your ignorance when it is all part of a grand design by more shrewd, expansionist masters. It explains everything you do, from your silly costumes to dinka-do songs!!

  • From Original R.Pai on Mangaluru: In Video, Teacher in Mangalore Seen Thrashing Boy With Fractured Arm

    “The teacher also asks the boy whether he is a ‘Brahmin’ or a ‘Kshatriya.’” – Report without giving any context. This incident took place right outside Vitla Panchalingeshwara Temple. This temple holds annual Veda classes for Brahamana students. These classes were started back in 80s by Late. SN Bhatt who was a popular physician in the area. The video shows a teacher delivering corporal punishment to a boy for creating some kind of trouble. If you can understand Havyaka language, you can clearly see why he made the comment he made. Apparently the boy sat on a special chair that was designated only for an elderly person from Vitla Royal family (‘Verma’). He was questioning the boy why he ignored all the prior warnings and sat on the chair when it was designated for ‘kshatriya’ (as in royal family), not for a brahmana boy. Well, as readers know, I despise the notion of corporal punishment in schools or home. As a society, we have come a long way. We need to work even harder to address this horrible culture. It could be teacher hitting students, parents hitting their kids or police abusing individuals – All these need to stop.

Err, what was his name again? Gokula? The report says Gokula MG! Any idea what MG stands for? Mono(sodium) Glutamate by any chance? Do you have Gokula’s gas connection no? Is it from Bharatha Gas or Indane? Has he filed his IT returns? Whats his PP no and Door no? Any idea ya Rampa? So sorry I ask you all this ya Rampu. But then, you provide us with such commendable copy-paste services when you are served stuff on a platter. (Especially when it comes to some petty stuff at the Mangalooru Vimaana Nildhana or MIA). Hence, I was thinking that if you could do an encore on this matter, we would all say – Muchas Gracias! 🙂

  • From Jay on Mangaluru: VHP will Take Measures to Safeguard Cows - Dinesh Pai

    “Dinesh said that when the hands of a wooden statue were broken, VHP youth were arrested and kept behind bars for a year. But in Karkala, the legs of 5 cows were chopped and loaded in a Maruti car and no one was punished” – What is the connection here, I don’t get it ???? India is a secular and democratic country and the government cannot tell its citizens to eat or refrain from eating a cow, a pig. or anything else. If the concern is about illegal slaughter houses and treatment to animals, the government should make slaughter houses legal. Then enact laws/rules for transportation, and the proper and most ethical treatment to animals and enforce them. But by banning the slaughter of cows, it will automatically give rise to the unethical transportation, and illegal slaughter houses WILL emerge. Talking of ethical treatment of animals, a few decades ago across India the cow was the beasts of burden made to draw huge over weight carts and ploughs but I did not hear anyone complain? I have seen cows beaten in public when they did not move fast enough? The cow is also mistreated as a calf, by depriving her of food (milk), as most of the milk is sold for cash. And lastly, what happens when the cow gets old? It is sold to the butcher for cash, and then the butcher is told he cannot kill it? Is that how you treat Go-Mata ???? So first ban the selling of cows, enact laws for the ethical treatment of ALL animals and monitor the slaughter of all animals – PROBLEM SOLVED !!!! Lastly, this is an international forum, when you have a meeting inviting the press, please keep the image and respect of mother India. Wear decent clothes, the venue looks like a washroom.

    Gokula is a sick individual who committed heinous crime of murdering his wife along with an intention to defame his neighbor and religious groups. Individuals like him create conflicts in society only to serve a deeply personal and narcissistic desires. Imagine what would have happened had he succeeded in his plot. His innocent neighbor would have gone to jail and political illiterates like Joker and Sharia Pandita would have accused it all on ‘saffron terror’ !! This episode reminds me of imaginary attacks on church which later turned out to be purely personal disputes between different parties!! I’m glad that police managed to find the real culprits so we all know the truth now!

    Physical assault on students is not acceptable. The incident would have been immediately branded as ‘moral policing’ if the teacher was from a different community. I’m glad to see a quick compromise and deescalation. By the way, who is that guy in red t-shirt and blue jeans? Why is he covering his face like one of those troublemakers we see from conflict zones?

There are ways to deal with unruly students besides physical punishment. I trust the management of this institution will institute an inquiry and put measures in place to avoid recurrence.

      Its really surprising that these migrants are choosing only European countries , where as Saudi Arabia the so called Champion of Islam is not uttering a single word on taking these hapless people to its country and look after them. Its shame that so many affluent Muslim countries are just watching this migrant plight and chose to be silent. Shaken shake always proclaims that Saudi Arabia is a heaven on earth with all the tribal laws intact!! However when it comes to taking these assylum seekers he is not uttering a single word. Why these wealthy Muslim countries lead by Saudi are not taking care of their own people? Its utterly shamefull!.

  • From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Mangaluru: Students should have Intelligent, Emotional and Spiritual Quotient - Minister Khader on Teachers' Day

    Students look upon their teachers as they Mentors and their Guiding Stars of life. Teachers play a role as important as the parents towards the students. The shadow of a Teacher in the life of a student is deep and everlasting. The character of a student is a true reflection of the Teachers who play a role as important and as valuable of a parent. A student rises from his or her youth to the adulthood filled with emotions and affections that stretch far and beyond the family horizon and become a role model to the rest of the generation. We are grateful to our teachers, and we are equally proud of our Teachers who have played an important role in our life.

Here is an actress officially registering a complaint based on real threats coming from religious thugs. Still, our media prefers to use the term ‘unknown sources’ and refuses to call out the religion or motives involved. Instead, it questions her motives!!! Now, imagine if these threats came from someone claiming to be a follower of sanaathana dharma. The media would have immediately branded the incident as another ‘Hindu extremism’ and ‘moral policing’!!! In fact, they don’t even need any data to justify their claims. Remember the ‘church attack’ incidents from Delhi and other places after Shree Modiji came to power? The sanaathana groups were blamed without any shred of evidence! Well, we live in a world where people can find truth on their own. This is exactly why Bharateeya voter rejected media propaganda and voted overwhelmingly for sri modiji in 2014.

Top Muslim Freedom Fighters Of India http://www.ranker.com/list/top-muslim-freedom-fighters-of-india-v3/saket?page=2&var=2 Unfortunately enough, these freedom fighters, for some reasons, do not figure prominently in school history books. Muslims are mostly portrayed as seekers of a separate nation or even as British sympathisers by some. It is a grave insult to all those who devoted their lives towards the cause of their motherland. While Modi and his patronage has counted Pakistani born LK Advani for Rath Yatra and Vajpayee for ‘Zara Zor Lagao’ with prestigious award. I appreciate if you could give me one name from RSS who stood behind Mahatma Gandhi in freedom struggle and sacrificed his life for this nation. Jai Hind

    his is sad news for us who have moved with and been in touch with a great soul – Fr Ronald N Prabhu (Fr Ronnie to most). Much can be said but this is just to inform that this great soul a visionary and dynamic leader has been called to his Maker. This is a big blow for all of us who knew and loved him but he went “with his boots on” as he always wanted to be working till the end, for all he stood for and believed. No he has not died but lives on in Christ. Those who viewed the body at the premise from 8 am onwards for all his well wishers who could make it early. Many came from far and wide (Mysore, Belgaum, Mangalore, Hubli, Dharwad, Chikmagalur, Anekal, etc. the 20th Aug Mass was concelebrated by Bangalore Archbishop Rev Dr Bernard Moras, and other Bishops from many parts of Karnataka, and many other priests secular and Jesuits. Many could not come due to transportation inavailability at short notice but have sent their condolences from all over Karnataka, Goa, Mumbai, Nagaland, Canada, USA, etc. Bishops and priests and friends from other denominations (Jacobites, Orthodox, Mar Thoma, SDA, CSI, CNI, Methodist, AGs, FCCO, Believers Church, Lutherans, Baptists & others) ; people from other faiths (Hindus, Muslims, Jains, Parsis, Buddhists, Ba’hais, freethinkers, etc) had also participated in prayer for him, besides the overflowing chapel and adjoining halls and verandahs, isles, and even part of the grounds. Truly, it was an ecumenical and inter-religious gathering as Fr Ronnie would have always liked and lived for in his earthly life and now in eternal life. He would have smiled in appreciation and love from where he is – thrilled that all Gods children have come together in prayer. Tributes went on and on and finally respect to his mortal remains were seen as the groundswell of sincere people filed past- wishing the family and being wished too as he (Fr Ronnie) was their family too. We are too shocked to feel the impact clearly which will take some time. His family gathered to wish him farewell but were devastated by the sudden loss. We will all miss him and trust that the lessons learned from him to seek God in all and love as He (God) loves, and leave the rest to Him (God) will remain and blossom for the better, greater good of all humankind.

  • From Original R.Pai on Mangaluru: UMO Will have to Decide on Appointment of Hindu Girls - Ashraf

    “We, Muslims, are peace lovers. There may be 0.01% of Muslims who create problems but the rest 99.9 % want to live in peace” I don’t know – Every time I hear about smuggling at Vimaana Nildaana, cow trafficking or terrorism, I see names from only one community. The same community lags behind in overall education. Women from this community are doing far worse than Hindus and Christians. It’s important to acknowledge these realities. If you don’t even admit, how can you correct and make things better? It’s sad to see an entire community failing to reach its true potential due to lack of leadership.

      Original R.Pai lements, ” It’s sad to see an entire community failing to reach its true potential due to lack of leadership.” He is even disgusted to take the name of “that Community”, Such is his hatred! He wants Narendra Modi must be their leader, but they are terrified at the very name of the person suggested by RSS Pai! What to do?

        As usual, sharia-abiding Pincode Pai hasn’t addressed not even a single question I raised in my post. Instead, he has done what he always does – attack RSS and Modiji. His hatred towards truth and facts is quite unfortunate!! What else can you expect from a person held hostage in a local madrasa?

        • From B. N. Pai. on Mangaluru: UMO Will have to Decide on Appointment of Hindu Girls - Ashraf

          Original R.Pai – “sharia-abiding Pincode Pai hasn’t addressed not even a single question I raised in my post.” Sir, you say what you are! But, I am not you. For, the ‘Truth’ on the one hand; and actual fact about you, the BJP, RSS and Modi on the other, cannot and do not co-exist. Before you say, “Pincode Pai hasn’t addressed even a single question I raised in my post,” you ought to have earned the right to ask such a question by answering the questions put by me to you several times! You never cared to do your job. So, tell us your “man ki baat” about: 1. Daily attacks on Kashmir by Pakistan, 2. joining hands with soft separatists in Kashmir to somehow get political advantage by betraying the motherland, 3. facilitating the black money laundering by the economic offenders and culprits and going back on the promise to use that imaginary money to give to the voters, 4. Construction of Ram Temple, 5. removal of Article 370, 6. Uniform Civil Law, 7. re-occupying territories illegally occupied by China and Pakistan in the RSS’s much touted “Israel way!” 8. as the ‘globetrotter Prime Minister’, Insulting Indians on foreign soil by his still “deeply rutted-in the opposition mindset” psyche and opening his big mouth in Shanghai saying – “Earlier, you felt ashamed of being born Indian,” etc. 9. in Seoul Modi insulting India by declaring, “There was a time when people used to say we don’t know what sins we committed in our past life that we were born in Hindustan.” 10. as Prime Minister of India (irresponsible though) , declaring in Dakka that India indulged in state sponsored terrorism in 1971 to divide Pakistan to create Bangla Desh! Sir, before putting any more questions to me, make sure you answer the above specific question, Or else you do not have any right to pose such a question!!!

    Very well written article and cannot be more apt. When my colleagues were discussing about this Bandh and a possible holiday coming up, even I was quietly happy as I would get one day off from work. But I was thinking to myself, What good does this kinda Bandh do or what is the ultimate outcome? You have mentioned most of it in your article. Such a national waste it is. We will always be a developing country because of such things. India is a beautiful place* Conditions Apply!!

    Freethinkers should have complete freedom to express their opinions on various topics. Any form of censor by political, religious or other thugs should be confronted and defeated. At the same time, we need to be seen as honest in our approach towards these reforms. Just wondering – Did this group or Dinesha (with multiple degrees from Londonistaan) speak out against ban on cartoons or visual references to pravaadi? Is it not a superstition resulting in real violence?

  • From shAIKH mOHD rizwan on Bengaluru: Kalburgi's murder: CID probe ordered by Karnataka govt

    Dear readers, Is “Ab ki bar Modi sarkar’ heading towards Bangladesh way of fundamentalism?There are already 5 murders of bloggers which has been already condemned by UNESCO chief. It should be noted that Late Kalburgi not alone in this cause.In earlier investigation the Maharashtra Police has gathered important information that points towards the Sanatan Sanstha and its front, the Hindu Janjagriti Samiti, possibly being responsible for the murders of rationalists and activists like Narendra Dabholkar in 2013 and Govind Pansare two weeks ago. Dabholkar is the founder of “Maharashtra Andhashraddha Nirmoolan Samiti (MANS), an organisation set up to eradicate superstition in 1989, to remove Anti-Superstition and Black Magic Ordinance which triggered by his murder on 20 August 2013. Why investigating agencies believe Sanatan Sanstha is behind Dabholkar and Pansare’s murder http://www.dailyo.in/politics/sanatan-sanstha-narendra-dabholkar-govind-pansare-anti-superstition-hindutva-maharashtra/story/1/2492.html Dabholkar,Kalburgin not alone in the list of saffron terror. In the previous event noted Modern Indian painter of International acclaim,M.F.Hussain was forced to take citizenship of Qatar.While Udupi Rajagopalacharya Ananthamurthy a vocal critic of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and Bharatiya Janata Party/Jan Sangh for over 50 years, Murthy said in 2013 that he would not live in the country ruled by BJP leader Narendra Modi.Later he left the universe in dignity. The Karnataka government should widened the investigation of Kalburgi murder to Maharashtra. The saffron terror organisation like ‘Ram Sena’ and ‘Sanatan Sanstha’ should be kept under watchful eye. If law and order situation was further deteriorated the Siddaramaiah’s exit is definate. For the RSS political wing BJP communalism is the only tool to keep them in power by divisive politics. Unfortunately no party in India knows how to counter the real threat to national unity. Jai hind

    Dr. Kalburgi was an intellect who stood up for the rights of the common man. If India wants to consider itself a democracy, then the government should bring the culprits to justice by prosecuting the killers to the full extent of the law. These killers are trying to intimidate the people who stand up for democracy and the rights of the people. Sadly, they are no different than the Taliban! If India and Indians don’t stand up against these extremists this cancer of the society is bound to spread. Sadly, the government and the police failed to protect this great man! But he stood up for freedom of speech – which is what he believed in till the very end.

  • From Original R.Pai on Mangaluru: If Yettinahole River Diversion Project Harms DK, I Will Not Support it - MLA J R Lobo

    This report sums up everything wrong with this MLA. I initially liked and supported this guy as he appeared to have a good background and sounded honest. Now, he sounds more and more like Manamohana Singh. Let’s look at some of his statements: 1. ““I will request the CM to visit Mangaluru and have discussion with the people of DK” in response to questions on if he had visited the location!! This reminds me the old saying – “ooota aayitha andare, mundaasu muvathu mola”. LOL Is he trying to hide the fact that he didn’t even visit the location? 2. ” I have informed the government to study the entire project, its pros and cons” Study the project? The project has already started!! Not sure what this guy thinks of himself and mangaloreans. The study should have been done BEFORE the construction started!! 3. “I will not lead the protest….As a representative, I know how to represent the government” Mr.Lobo should represent the people of Mangalore first. Apparently he doesn’t look at it that way. For him, he represents the govt more than people who elected him. In fact, this statement sums up his ways of approaching issues. He doesn’t want to go against his party or the power structure. I still believe that this guy is a honest man. However, he lacks the passion, energy and confidence to take a stand. Well, this is the sad state of our elected leaders. By the way, I should also point out that this is not limited to one party alone.

    “Since he did it intentionally, I got angry and slapped him” – report I’m not justifying this old man in those pictures. He clearly seems to have some ‘issues’. However, it is amazing to see how easily we accept and endorse slapping and other physical assault as a natural response!! This is the same mindset that results in group attacks on individuals. This goes back to my points made in earlier posts – We need to discourage ‘public beatings’ and encourage due process using police and judiciary. Unfortunately, we are doing the exact opposite – Encourage bad behavior and then get all outraged!!

However, you can’t instigate violence. This is the limit that we should all respect. In this guy’s case, he clearly promoted violence by calling for the death of some unknown KS Bhagawaan. Also, his second tweet is a clear admission of crime. So, there isn’t much to debate in this case!!

          No wonder the request was rejected within minutes sending you in a downward spiral for next two decades! – Rampa on my alleged rejected US visa. Sigh! I totally agree that your Pradhana Sevaka’s Visa was rejected the moment he opened his motormouth. AND again, I have to AGREE that the rejected Visa sent you into a downward spiral! I mean, just imagine our Pradhana Sevaka’s (PS1) reply to the embassy official (Peter Smith or PS2): PS2: Sir, what is the purpose of your visit to the US? PS1: Kem cho baba? Arre baba, to ‘MACK’ in India, no? That is my DREAM! By the way, didn’t one of your people say -“I have a DREAM…”? PS2: True. It must have been Geronimo! But then, everyone is entitled to his/her own dream as long as it does not interfere with the Great American Dream (GAD)! So, Wtf…… Isn’t your ‘MACK’ in India dream at loggerheads with the GAD? You want to steal precious American jobs? PS1: To kya, Pedru? You can’t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs, can you? PS2: Bravo sir! Maybe Attila the Hun said that. Maybe Stalin did. Maybe Bill Maher said it. I love eggs with , by the way. But sir, why do you need to visit the USA to ‘MACK’ in India? PS1: Because I have more ‘phoreen shapport’ in ‘phoreen’ than in India. After all, apna Amitha Shaw has been busy using the AA connection to gather support for my cause. You see beta, PS2: You mean, you have asked Alcoholics Anonymous to help your visa case? PS1: Arre baba, were you born day before yesterday? Till the other day when Saddam Hussein tried to become a cowboy like your chequered history says, and takeover the neighboring ranch (Kuwait), you guys didn’t even know where Iraq was! When i say AA, I mean the Adani + Ambani combine! PS2: Oh, my due apologies! My entire neighborhood is in AA and hence I always associate AA with AA. It is only after some states legalized weed, they moved out and got out of AA. Alternative hobbies, you see! But never mind….. and hey, you sure do have friends in ‘very high’ places too! PS1: Arre baba, so what? But, I’m a teetotaler! Total Chaiwallah! I MACK promises to the Indian Armed Forces on OROP and go donate 1 Billion USD to Mongolia. I promised the Indian idiots that they will get 15 lakhs within 150 days (from 26 May 2014) and those idiots voted for me. As my biggest Bhaktha – OR Pai from Yumreeka, never gets tired of repeating – I’m a Tusssnaami (Tsunami). And never mind if it is in a chai-cup! PS2: Any comments on what happened in Godhra in 2002? PS1: WHO is Godhra? 🙂 It is ALL MACK in India stories! PS2: Who, eh? Will tell you WHO exactly is Godhra, sir! (He goes to a backroom and comes back with a foot-long stamp and stamps – ‘REJECTED’ on PS2’s Passport!). Go – MACK (speeches) back home….. UAE, Mongolia, Canada, Russia, Sochi, coochy-coo, Sudana, Nepala, etc. —————————————————————————————- AND that sends our Rampa into a downward spiral. A spiral from which he has never recovered. AND to cover the sorry feathers on his exposed backside, he yammers on and on! 🙂 And as usual, he hauls coals to Newcastle! Bravo Rampa! He NEVER provides proof about my allegedly rejected US Visa. Hahahahaha. The Kohinoor pales in comparison to you. 🙂

      Over the years, I have come across many Pakistanis. Some of them were very good. However, most of them were fanatical or have a religious-bent-of-mind and conversations would be liberally sprinkled with Almighty God’s name. I hate any person, who utters Almighty God’s name in normal conversations, other than at prayer times at the places of worship or at home. Even in Christians, I have come across some who pretend to be religious but, in fact, are pseudos and I know some of them. They would bum people for favours, were freebies, steal, indulge in politics, etc., but would be involved in religious activities and would collect money for the Churches in the name of charity and pocket a part of it. So, in short, these pseudo-religious people are rogues and scoundrels – other than God-fearing. In any conversations, they would call others as brothers and sisters and frequently utter the word “Hallelujah”.

    she should undergo lie detector test, its clear that she is under pressure from her religion; even there is video that she trying to cover so called Anwer when Chaddis attacked. if she was sexually abused as she says now. She should be charged for telling lies and for the Attack on ANWER too.

  • From A. S. Mathew on UAE: Owner of Jewellery Chain in Gulf Countries Goes Missing

    The totally unexpected plunging of the gold price would be causing greater alarm to the Banking industry in the Asian countries. Thousands of Banks have given loan to the consumers using their gold jewelry as collateral would be faced with discarded collateral by the consumers; since the price of gold is far lower in the open market rather than repossessing their gold deposit at the banks adding the accumulated interests. Thus the banks would be faced with a load of gold inventory to be disposed at a greater lost, which will terribly hurt the banking industry in the days ahead, since the gold price will be plunging further based on the economic wind blowing around the world.

    For those who are curious, I am posting a few links from youtube so you know what I am talking about. These are all incidents of ‘moral policing’ incidents from India where women beat men for adultery. I see outrage from media and others only when it fits their narrative. All other incidents are ignored or silently endorsed!!

      Do not know if she was at anytime a famous actress in Bollywood. However, I know that Justice Lodha has pointed accusing fingers at her spouse for involvement in IPL match-fixing. How about awards being bestowed on them for their exemplary acts? They feel that by going to temples and doing poojas, Almighty God will forgive her spouse and herself, because she used to be always with him at these matches and she obviously knew what was going on. Do not tell me that Shilpa Shetty is a “Plain Jane”?

    This is absolutely appalling. Those involved in assaulting this young man should be brought to justice. There is no place for such behavior in a democracy with constitutional rights and individual freedom. It’s nobody’s business if two adults choose to talk, travel in the same car or engage in any kind of activities after mutual consent. Indian society including our media and police has to take the blame for encouraging public beating incidents!! It could be a thief, man cheating on his wife or an alcoholic man who abuses his family members – we have seen countless number of cases wherein the accused was beaten up in public before handing over to police. If you want proof, go and search for video clips on youtube – you will see plenty shown by TV9!! This incident is no different from all those cases where public took law into their own hands. We can’t selectively approve/reject these cases. If an assault on a muslim youth is wrong, then an assault on a man for cheating on his wife or snatching golden chain is also wrong. When we are honest enough to admit this and oppose all these cases based on principle, we can stop this one day!! However, in the absence of any honesty on the part of those covering these incidents, one can’t expect any positive change in our society. These incidents WILL CONTINUE to happen!!! Unfortunate and sad!!

        Pincode Pai, in his infinite capacity to embarrass himself, has failed to see my main point. I was pointing out an old, raw, uneducated tendency in our society to assault ‘culprits’ in public before handing them over to Police for due process. The same tendency makes national headlines when ‘vote bank’ happens to be the victims. Otherwise, those episodes are seen as funny incidents where accused person rightfully deserves the treatment. As I pointed in my post above, one can google those video clips and decide on your own. However, as I have learned over a period of time, I don’t expect Pincode Pai to appreciate these finer points of my argument as he is held hostage in a room with no windows. He is a broken soul with lost purpose.

The post Godhra carnage and demolition of disputed structure at Ayodhya, are but only two such striking examples of your political crimes to capturs power. Just like the Bangaloreans have re-elected corrupt to the core BBMP’s BJP members, the Indian voters had elected during 2014 elections to the Parliament, the very ‘culprits’ you pretend now to rue about! So, tell us who the RANK CULPRITS are. The name RSS is synonym to the word you made use of; i.e. ‘culprits’!!!

    Father Muller’s Charitable Institutions have a long history. The seed that was sown by Father Muller over one hundred and thirty-five ago has indeed blossomed and grown into a mighty tree. Indeed this Jesuit Priest who made a small beginning by dispensing homeopathy medications perhaps did not dream that his work would flourish and that it would what it is today. As the legend goes…. PEOPLE HAD SO MUCH CONFIDENCE IN FATHER MULLER THAT THEY FLOCKED AROUND HIM. IT IS EVEN SAID THAT SOME HYPOCHONDRIACS WHO USED TO IMAGINE AILMENTS WERE SOMETIMES TREATED BY HIM WITH MERE SUGAR PILLS AND THE PATIENTS PROFESSED THAT THEY WERE ALRIGHT. SUCH WAS THE FAITH IN FATHER MULLER. SEVERAL JESUITS CONTINUED THE MISSION DURING THE YEARS TO FOLLOW. Some decades ago the mission was taken over by The Mangalore Diocese and the contingent of secular priests are continuing the tradition build by their predecessors. Therefor it is not surprising at all that NABH has granted accreditation to F.M.C.I. The present management under the direction of Father Patrick Rodrigues is in the process of taking THIS GREAT INSTITUTION TO GREATER HEIGHTS.

When we went to wish him after the Mass he said that he would like to spend some more time with us, but he was leaving shortly for Bangalore on the night bus. We therefore volunteered to take him from Fatima Retreat House to the KSRTC bus station at Bijey. That gave nus additional 90 minutes together, until the bus left for Bangalore. There was so much to talk and share. It was all happiness of being good friends, good class friends and a day of Celebration.

    Schools have brought forth and continue to bring forth so many responsible and efficient doctors, teachers, politicians, police officials, writers and many others who provide their valuable services. Their services are not restricted to the school where they studied but extend to the entire society. A child studying in any school is indirectly our responsibility too. As citizens we could acknowledge the past, present and future efforts of so many who improve our lives and do our part. Few of tiny steps we could take could be to drive slowly in school zones, not to sound the horn unnecessarily, respect the signals and the officials placed there for our safety

    Firstly, according to Dr Nawaz the patient was on treatment since one year, how is this possible when he arrived here two and a half months ago, from the gulf. He left mangalore on July 18, 2014 for his job in saudi arabia. And he returmed on May 28, 2015 and was admitted to the hospital on this date itself for his treatment. Secondly, no financial support was given from the doctors. We paid all the hospital bills how others pay and are supposed to pay. Dr Nawaz should stop misguiding people. I urge you to first get your facts correct, before posting such comments socially. The docotor did not infuse a single bottle of blood into the patient. His body was shivering all day after his AV fistula burst. Dr Santosh wrote to his assistant Dr Roshan, to provide him with 2 bottles of blood. But Dr Roshan did not do what was told despite of frequent reminders from the patient’s family. If CCTV shows we were violent and we created chaos in the MICU, then the footage should also show whether the patient was given blood or not. We want the proof of what the hospital claims. People survive on dialysis for years, then why did faisal only could make it to two and a half months? It was solely due to irresponsibility of the doctors and staff.

  • From Dr. Ben Rebello on The Thannirhalla Ghost

    Dear readers of Mangalorean who read and commented on my story, The story is a fiction but inspired by certain true incidents. The names of places are real. I personally dont believe in ghosts. But sometmes the circumstances and incidents that take place particularly at lonely and haunted places in darkness of nights added on top by misty and rainy weather can cause hallucinations like it happened to me and what i saw was suggested to my wife who was in half sleep and then she sees the same. on top, her imagination goes a step further to identify the ex wife of my friend as the ghost in question as the background of that woman dying in a mysterious accident may be at the back of her mind. as per diseased Police Inspector Hireguthys case even today people of the locality swear that they have seen him in the night. I read somewhere that souls who depart untimely like after unexpected accidents etc leaving behind their dear ones helpless dont find rest and roam around the places settling scores !!!

  • From JoeGonsalves on Mangaluru: Fr Ronnie Prabhu SJ, a Priest most Humble, Always Smiling and Friend of All -Sadly Missed

    Father Ronnie – Indeed a great man – a peoples’ man – a man who lived for others. His passing away has left a void in the hearts of many. A philosopher that Father Ronnie was he devoted his life to help the poor and needy. He had time for every one and any one had easy access to him. During his lifetime has helped hundreds of people in different ways. A Holy Man that he was … WE SHOULD NOT PRAY FOR HIS SOUL BUT WE SHOULD PRAY TO HIM IN ALL OUR NEEDS. He is now a powerful advocate in Heaven for all his friends. HE ACCOMPLISHED GREAT THINGS IN HIS LIFETIME. While Father Ronnie was an extraordinary public service oriented person who lived to make other peoples’ lives happy. LONG LIVE FATHER RONNIE IN THE HEARTS OF ALL WHO LOVED HIM.

  • From Roy on UAE: World Goa Day Celebrated in Hilton Abu Dhabi

    People need to speak honestly about Nehru and Krishna Menon’s military actions in Goa. It was an invasion and illegal under international law. The Goan people’s views were not considered before Goa was annexed by India. Goans were not given a vote on whether they wanted to be independent, become a part of India or remain with Portugal.

  • From Original R.Pai on Bengaluru: 46 percent voting in BBMP poll

    46% ? that’s it? This shows how most of the non-kannadiga population didn’t even bother to vote in these elections. You would expect something better from urban, educated folks. I guess they can’t complain about corruption and poor infrastructure since they prefer sitting at home than participating in elections.

      Illogical Paimaam of US, you are proved wrong! FOR, ACCORDING TO YOUR LOGIC, THE KANNADIGAS MIGHT HAVE VOTED FOR CORRUPTION AND THAT THEY VOTED FOR “corruption and poor infrastructure since they prefer sitting at home than participating in elections.” YOU GUESSED THAT THE CONGRESS WOULD WIN AND BJP WOULD LOSE DUE TO POOR VOTING PERCENTAGE. You claimed that most of the non-Kannadiga population didn’t even bother to vote in these elections. You projected “non-Kannadiga population” to be apt to throw out the corrupt. You presumed something better from urban, educated folks, “WHO ARE THE VOTARIES OF ANTI-CORRUPTION PLANK”; ACCORDING TO YOUR FAILED LOGIC. The fact is proved to be otherwise.The Kannadiga voters are minority in Bangalore and they did not vote, for their votes make any difference to the outcome! NOW SEE THAT YOUR URBAN EDUCATED FOLKS, THE BJP VOTARIES ACCORDING TO YOUR LOGIC, HAD PARTICIPATED IN THE ELECTIONS IN BANGALORE AND ELECTED THE BJP, WHO LOOTED THE BBMP SHAMELESSLY FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS! FOR THE RSS IS THRIVING ON CORRUPTION!!! ON THE CONTRARY, IF STILL YOU INSIST THAT THE URBAN EDUCATED VOTERS DID NOT VOTE,THEN ACCORDING TO YOUR LOGIC THE CONGRESS WOULD HAVE WON IN THE ELECTIONS! BUT THE BJP HAS WON! IN VIEW OF THE FACT THAT THE CORRUPT TO THE CORE BBMP’s BJP HAS WON IN THE ELECTIONS, WHO ACCORDING TO YOU ARE THE BACKBONE OF THE RSS, THE BJP SUPPORTERS ARE THE VOTARIES OF CORRUPTION. IT UNEQUIVOCALLY MEANS THAT THE ILLITERATE AND INCOMPETENT KANNADIGAS DID NOT SUPPORT THE CORRUPT! THIS IS QUITE THE CONTRARY OF YOUR “LOGIC”! THAT IS WHY THE REDDIES AND YEDDIES, THE RENUKAACHAARYAAS AND HAALAPPAS WIN.

    “The accused allegedly stole the cows from the cattle shed of a house in Kolalgiri” – Report. ‘Naalige chapala’ crowd should make a note of this. Why is it that one community is overwhelmingly involved in illegal activities from Mangaluru vimaana nildaana to a cattle shed in kolagiri? Well, this is the question any self-respecting, honest, intelligent person should ask without a fear of any backlash. Don’t expect it to come from our self-declared secular crowd as they lack all these three virtues. Look at the age of one of these criminals – At the age of 17, he is not worried about getting into one of the elite Engineering or medical colleges. Instead, he is stealing cows!! How depressing!! Fake secular values mixed with religious bigotry have failed minorities in India. Really sad.

    Leadership is not an “Infectious disease”, but it is “INFECTIOUS” – period. Leadership can spread everywhere if each us wish to help many others to be leaders along with us. Leadership goes hand in hand with Mentorship. Leadership allows us to communicate with others and interact with each other in order to learn from each other. Leadership allows us to distinguish ourselves from others in order to make this world a better place. A country such as India we have many leaders everywhere but for the growing population of India we have more followers in India than the leaders themselves. Leadership is friendship. Leadership is a virtue that can be transferred without any strings attached. Leadership is a gift. Keep of Roshni Nilaya – you are on the right track.

    How proud to hear that “World Goa Day” has been celebrated in Abu Dhabi. It has always been a pride for us to witness the progress of Goa from the time Pundit Nehru and Krishna Menon liberated the unique place on earth and made Goa has an integral part of India. Goa has been always treated and treasured separately because Goa is unique. When we visited Lisbon and Rio de Janeiro everyone said that “we are from Goa”, and we gladly and proudly said “YES”. Goa has a good name everywhere because the people of Goa are special, they are happy and they are God blessed. Keep it up Goa.

    This ‘Dr.Abhay Jain’ needs to be sent back to high school so he can understand how to read data and reports!! As per the data, nearly 50% of our population is never married. Remember – this includes children also. Almost, 35-36% of this ‘never married’ population are minors!! The suicide rate is higher with older population than minors for many reasons including bad health and financial obstacles. Apparently, this ‘Dr.Abhaya Jain’ seems to sensationalize the report by twisting figures. Thank god, he didn’t blame higher suicide rate by married people on sex!! LOL On a side note, I had a good laugh reading last line on mangal’s post on how marriages are more peaceful when you have lesser energy for daily battles!! Good one! LOL

Both the groups are very active in various community affairs, including periodic picnics, church gatherings and much more. I feel guilty that although I am a member of both the groups, due to my various commitments of travel and business I am hardly able to make any justice to these groups. However, you see whether they have any web sites available so that you can inform them of your coming to Texas during September. If you have nothing else to do you can always reach me so that if I am free with my wife you can always join in our simple “rice and curry”.

  • From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Mangaluru: India a force for stability and good in the world - Prof Tankel

    India’s role in the fast changing world is imminent. India’s role in global politics, specially in the neighboring region such as Pakistan, the Middle East, Afghanistan, Yemen, Iran, Syria and the rest of the Arab World is crucial. India’s democracy in the light of so many International turmoil is extremely noteworthy. Narendra Modi’s recent visit to Israel and the U.A.E., is a praiseworthy and timely contribution for the Arabs and the Jews realize that India strives for peace and harmony in all our daily deliberations. India is the birth place for Hinduism, Jainism, Bhuddism and Sikhism. India was gifted with the arrival of St. Thomas as the Ambassador of Jesus 2000 years ago. India was also blessed with the presence of St.Francis Xavier. Last but not the least India was privileged to have Mahatma Gandhi as well as Mother Theresa to teach us the value of love, charity and much more. We must make use of all the above benefits for the common good of mankind.

    Great job on the part of White Doves to be able to reach out the lady inmates and provide them the hairdo. Also great achievement to be able to publicize in the web sites. This is a great achievement. If there are enough ladies that are able to speak reasonable English why can’t we start a Toastmasters Club behind the bars for the lady inmates? Please find out discretely and let us know. If the authorities are favorable then we shall provide you with all the literatures and manuals, and then we come down to Mangalore next we can hold a demo meeting and get the project started in full swing. Please let us know.

  • From Mangal on More married people end lives than singles

    “Marriages can stay successful for longer when the husband and wife give equal importance to each other’s contribution and freely communicate and discuss their problems,” Jain said. But, unfortunately, he did not support his opinion with evidence. If he had provided some statistics to prove that better communication led to no or fewer suicides, the statement could have been more credible. Regardless, individual cases in the past have highlighted how depressed people are prone to commit suicide. Although I do not have the numbers to support, it has been generally observed that those who marry late (late 30s, 40s), are least stressful, translating into more peaceful marriages. Maybe they have lesser energy to initiate new battles daily.

    Roy stated “This is not a case of constitutional rights. College students sign a code of conduct when they are admitted to university. They represent the school to which they are admitted and are expected to show the college in the best light.” Roy – It sure is a case of constitutional rights. One cannot have the students sign a code of conduct that violates their fundamental rights. The Asst. Commissioner of the temple has clarified the situation and clearly stated that the students were not debarred. Moreover, the alleged pictures were over 2 years old!!!!!! Someone must have set up these students for embarrassment on social media. Rarely does someone in India takes the government or other institutions to court when the fundamental rights are violated! The government has every right to prosecute them if and when they are caught drinking while they were not old enough to drink under the law. The school has every right to dismiss them if they came drunk to the school or were drinking while on school premises. Outside of school (if they are old enough to drink), it is no one’s business.

One of the fears the dying have is of abandonment and loneliness. This can be as painful as the physical pain. The families may not be able to provide care and even time as we see. A god life and a good death as dame Cicely Saunders said way back in 1967. Some times the closure with the family and friends gives peace to the dying. It is important to the close family and friends to realise this and find some time to visit and at least hold hands with the dying. I am glad to hear about such a facility in Udipi. Thanks for publishing this article.

I went to greet him after mass. He was very pleased to see me. He wanted to spend some time with me. He wanted me to accompany him after mass to KSRTC bus station at Bijey and I did. It was a long nice chat for one hour. When the luxury bus left for Bangalore I came home. I shall invite you for the Trophy presentation in the absence of Fr. Ronnie.

    I don’t care what community these girls belong to. This is all about individual freedom. If these girls are old enough (legally) to consume alcohol, they should be able to do so. College has no business telling individuals what they should or shouldn’t in their private life. However, there are some questions worth looking into. – Were they legally old enough to consume Alcohol at the time of incident? – Is it legal to consume alcohol in public places/ parks like Raaja Seat? Anyway, I am glad to see a push back by media and social networks supporting individual freedom. However, how come the same media outlets are very silent on cartoon controversy? Or, I haven’t seen a single journalist with enough courage to dig deeper into gold smuggling at MIA and the community behind all those incidents? Apparently India has self-imposed sharia laws!!

Original RSS has constructed the tomb of “indian Democracy” and solemnly says RIP to it! Yes Paimaam, I agree with your definition of democracy. According to you, democracy is to be redefined as the system of governance, where the majority HAS AN ABSOLUTE RIGHT to impose their religion and religious practices on the religious minority. For, democracy is only the absolute dictates by the numerical strength in the Parliament, as imposed by the dictatorial streaks of the rabidly brute manifestations of the fascist organisation, which propped up the majority. SO, DEMOCRACY IS “OF THE DICTATOR, BY THE DICTATOR AND FOR THE DICTATOR” AS PER THE NAGPUR ADDRESS BY MOHAN BHAGWAT AS IMPLEMENTED THROUGH HIS —— IN POWER.

You talk about double-standards of media and journalists. What about you, who always oppose practices of the non-Hindus on the ground that it is opposed to Hindu religious practices and faith? And, at the same time, you impose the Hindu religious belief and practices on others! YOUR PREACHINGS OPPOSE YOUR PRACTICES. SHAME, SIR.

    Rev Father Ronnie has not passed way- he has merged with the Lord and his Spirit will continue to guide us till we are called to the Lord. In the human body he was a source of inspiration to tens of thousands of people. For those of us from the Inter Religious Harmony Movement in Bangalore, he was always our beacon. I met Ronnie foe the first time in the then Dhyanashram Campus way ahead of Mt St Joseph, almost near Bannerghatta. He was such an impressive personality, I remember his sessions to this day, after over four decades. I met him two weeks ago in his room. He was just going to rest in his bed. He was full of spirit and asked me to cover his kegs with the blanket. I went back to the room from the door once again, an touched him in the face. that feeling of love was so very evident in his eyes as he smiled as usual. Hindus have lost a great friend amongst our Christian brethern. Let us all for different faiths work to keep his ideals od spiritual harmony alive

    This is clearly a case of violation of the constitutional rights of the students? Why is someone not questioning the college authorities? So long as the students have not been a menace on school property or have come intoxicated to the college, it should not matter to the college what the students did out side of the college. Are they arresting the male students for being involved in any activities that they are ‘immoral’?

    Why is this man not handcuffed? Based on the number of charges he is facing, he should have been in hand and leg shackles. How can the police overlook this simple required procedure for serious criminals? Why is he held above the law? Even when they arrest for other minor offenses one can notice that they are at the least handcuffed! The police and state government must have spent millions to locate, arrest, extradite, and bring him back. If they don’t secure this criminal how long will it take for a few well equipped gang members to over power the police and help him escape? And why is he not wearing some form ‘prisoner’ uniform?

  • From Dr Sheikh Nawaz on Mangaluru: Kin and Others Protest at Hospital over Youth's Death, Allege Negligence

    The patient suffered from a condition called chronic Kidney disease , he also suffered from acute Pancreatitis and septicemia.He has been explained that he has 90% mortality risk in a year, The patient party has signed all the informed consent on the case sheet. He was on dialysis since 1 year through a AV fistula which burst yesterday. The patient was irregular on dialysis and not following his recommended plan of 3 dialysis per week.. Hence was going bad, the patient party who claimed had no money , was given financial support from the hospital. For the last two days he has been advised that requires urgent dialysis and ICU care but his mother was violently protesting against this idea. He was prepared for urgent dialysis through a femoral catheter , but before it could begin he developed complications in the dialysis room and was shifted to the ICU , the patient party refused to allow him to be shifted to the ICU , when the duty Specialist doctor was doing his work the party hindered shifting to the ICU and hence the doctor shifted him to the ICU in the best interest of patient. The patient party who got angry because he was shifted to the ICU , they were violent and CCTV footage has showed all clear evidence how they jeopardized other critically ill people in the ICU and also assaulted two doctors and 1 nurse. Unfortunately the hardworking keenly interested doctor simply suffered for doing his work in best interest of the patient. The resident doctor actually pays a hefty fees and works 18 hours a day for 7 days a week and sees about 50 patients under him . The hospital management chickened out on this whole issue because of ulterior motives. The hospital is a medical college hospital which runs on minimal basic charges with no benefit to the resident doctor nor professor. They work on a fixed salary. We the resident doctors are extremely unhappy, sad and disappointed about the uncultured attitude of these people who receive treatment out of our own money and beat us back.

      Dear Dr Nawaz, I have read your post regarding the unfortunate incident which resulted in anger of the client family towards the care givers. The obvious reason for the rude behaviour of the family was because of lack of effective communication between them and the family. The family did not accept the loss of a loved one and reacted the way they did. If good and skilled social workers were present, they would have helped the family to mediate with the treating team and get essential information from them which they would have explained to the family in a manner that would have been acceptable to them. More often than not the families accept the loss as inevitable especially when they have seen the client suffering for some time. How to break bad news is a subject which every doctor may not be familiar with. I do not think a very junior doctor, however good he may be in his subject knowledge has with him, the skills of communicating bad news. Empathy to family members is the most important thing. Body language and the language used in communication should convey that. The client probably had multi organ failure. The client belonged to a community which is generally very innocent and are big believers of almighty. They know that it is God’s wish. Give them time to accept it. It will be accepted. Your management has not chickened out let me tell you. They are smart people who know that the family grief and anger will cool down given some time. I feel sorry for the doctor who took the direct brunt of the anger. I understand such incidences are on the rise. Medical fraternity is responsible to some extent for the state of affairs. Put yourself in a patient’s shoe to know what they go through.God has given you all the opportunity to serve the people. Every one does not get this chance. May he continue to bless and guide you all.

  • From Original R.Pai on Dubai: Modi takes veiled swipe at Pakistan over terrorism

    Every little village and town in Bharatha has mosque and church. Still, rest of the world tries to lecture India on tolerance and minority rights. On the other hand, UAE finally decides to give a small piece of land to build a Hindu temple and it is seen as biggest progressive move by fake secular groups and media. As Bill Maher puts it, this is the soft bigotry of low expectations!!!! On a separate note, I have to give five stars to our Pradhaana Sevaka for his sincere efforts to promote brand India. I can only wish we had more leaders with so much passion and love towards Bharatha. Unfortunately, religious bigots can not appreciate anything beyond their own religion. For proof, read posts from Sharia, Roy, Manga etc.

    We expected him to speak like a statesman, he spoke like a politician by blaming the previous govts.,. We expected him to speak direct, he was instead circastic by taunting at neigbours and political opponents. We expected him to speak the truth, instead he spoke lies by claiming 65 years of progress as if it is his achievement. End of the day, it will be foolish on our part to expect a DNA change in him. He will never change.

Both India and Abu Dhabi will gain in all sectors, whether it is political, economic, social or even Educational. India has so much to give and take with Abu Dhabi. Best of luck

    Good news for the passengers who need to connect to the international airport at Bangalore. This is especially useful for the students who can save money by avoiding going to Mangalore airport by taxi and then taking a flight to Bangalore which is not that cheap. Perhaps they should consider revising the time to 5 PM so that the passengers reach Bangalore airport by 1 or 2 am and connect to the early morning flights. Again they need to have a bus leaving Bangalore by 7 AM which can reach Manipal by 4 PM. This can be in addition to the night service which can be a sleeper. I welcome this initiative from KSRTC. Cheers to Ramalinga Reddy.

  • From Mangal on Abu Dhabi: Narendra Modi arrives in UAE

    Every press release from the globetrotter announces “the first Indian pm to visit UAE in 34 maha-yugas”. Much has happened in the last 34 years. We need to forgive the globetrotter if he does not know much about it. It is not entirely his fault. Parents in the trader community want their wards to learn about how to turn one rupee into a crore. Other things are not that important. In the last 34 years, there was the great rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan – helped along by a few who wanted USSR out. UAE was one of them. Only three countries in the world recognised the Taliban government in Afghanistan: Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and UAE. India was among rare countries fighting on the opposition. For India’s good fortune, the opposition ultimately won. The sacrifice made by India was enormous. This was the main reason why the relationship between India and Saudi/UAE went downhill. We need to forgive the globetrotter if he does not know much about it. It is not entirely his fault. Over the years though India wanted oil, and Saudi/UAE wanted a better-disciplined workforce. So a fortunate parallel relationship continued. Over the last 12 months – for Saudi/UAE’s great discomfort, the crude has crashed from US$110 a barrel to $42 a barrel. Saudi/UAE will be looking for friends.

  • From Original R.Pai on 68 Indians detained in Washington for crossing into US illegally

    I have to admit – there are three communities from India who are known for their notorious ways of reaching West and how they conduct themselves here – Punjab, Gujarath and Andhra Pradesha. The folks from first state do this in good old way of crossing the border and ocean (greek islands and italian coast) while the folks from third state abused the visa system beyond recognition. As a Bharateeya, I am truly embarrassed of these illegal activities. For those who are curious, watch some of the recent reports and documentaries on illegal immigrants crossing over from Turkey coast to Greek island of Kos. Almost every south asian in the group comes from Punjab (Indian side or Pakistaani side).

    It’s hard not to see the level of incompetence shown by our authorities here. Our govt clearly knows that this guy is a notorious criminal involved in many cases. If so, why allow him dress like a college student? I can’t tell if he is going to attend a party or Udupi police station. Also, why parade him in a such an open, public view when he has so many potential allies and enemies ? Don’t we all know the incident when a guy tried to kill Muthappa Rai near Madikeri Court back in 90s? And, finally, in this DNA age, do they really have to take this high-price catch from town to town in order to continue the investigation? Can’t they hold him in a high security prison and get officials from different towns to complete the investigation?

I was there to listen to the All India Radion live broadcast from New Delhi when none of us had a radio or even power supply. Bear footed we walked to the Central Maidan and joined in the happiness of the people of Mangalore. God bless Mangalore, and God bless India. We have come a long way to make good things happen.

With the underpass commuters will not be able to cross the road for a 1km stretch. In the rainy season the underpass will be cesspool. People on either side will suffer for no reason. Nothing will be solved and more problems will be created. Why cant they create a bypass for the highway that avoids the city?.

The over population of cows and water buffaloes is a direct result of ‘ksheera kraanti’ whose main architect was one Kurien from Kerala. In the name of ‘ksheera kraanti’, we started inflating the demand for dairy products by telling people to consume more and more. The poor cows and water buffaloes are the poor victims of this senseless, unsustainable growth in consumption. We need to encourage less dairy consumption to keep it at sustainable levels.

  • From Nelson Lewis on Mumbai: Couples picked up from hotel rooms, charged with 'public indecency'

    Mr. A.S. Mathew, One has to realize that most cops in Mumbai police force hail mostly from vilages and small towns of Maharashtra and they have joined the force because it is an easy way to make money by forcing people to give or acceptig bribes. They have a blinkered outlook and a narrow mind and many of them do not know the progress that has taken place. Take it from me that in India, most politicians and public servants are corrupt and they do not have any shame or qualms. They intentionally do all sorts of wrong things and go to houses-of-worship and pay for custom-made poojas, masses, other rituals (depending on their religion) for washing their sins and continue with their nefarious activities. The police acted very rashly without doing their homework and basing their raids on sound intelligence. Whatever the consenting couples have done has been in the four walls. These couples should have filed court cases against the police and seek damages.

    • From Original R.Pai on Mangaluru: Awareness Lesson on Drug Menace should be Included in School Syllabus - DGP Om Prakash

      Dear black-flag-worshiping Sharia Shaikh, I understand that your madrasa background makes it almost impossible for you to follow logic. Still, let me try as it is very important to educate political illiterates. The ‘freedom of food choice’ doesn’t mean that you can kill and eat whatever you want. What about the freedom of those animals and birds? Also, you refuse to respect Hindu’s religious sentiments. On the other hand, you want everyone to respect your religious sentiments even though it means refusing to sing ‘vande pataram’ and imposing sharia laws on cartoons!! Grow up, dude!

  • From CA on UAE: Woman Drowns in Dubai After Father Blocks Rescue to Save 'Honour'

    What a piece of work!!! No words to describe this moron father. If a child, no matter what age, cannot trust one’s parents to come to their rescue by any means, these parents do not deserve to have kids. I just hope he has no other daughters to ‘rescue” or no sons to transfer his stupid irrational thoughts to. Please leave him in jail where he can rot away.

  • From Original R.Pai on Mangaluru: Awareness Lesson on Drug Menace should be Included in School Syllabus - DGP Om Prakash

    This is the paradoxical nature of human society. We sell and glamorize smoking and alcoholic drinks. One can find shops selling these products in any corner of the city or any town in our state. In fact, our CM openly brags about cheap liquor for poor people. You can’t turn around and lecture people on other drugs. Similar to smoking and liquor, other drugs can also be very addictive and destroy your life if you are not in control. Instead of banning these products, state needs to regulate it. If these students and other can buy the same drugs from a licensed medical shop, it would be much safer. It will also bring in revenue to state exchequer. Agreed – there has to be an effort to educate people on the dangers of drug usage (including alcohol) if it spins out of control. Many of these students are simply aping the popular, western culture and destroying their health and future in the process.

  • From Original R.Pai on Udupi: DK Politicians are Slaves of Landlords, Malekudiya Leader Shekar

    ” EVERY OUT LAW IN THE WORLD, HAS A SAFE SANCTUARY IN RSS INDIA” screams Pincode Pai from his room with no windows. Every outlaw ? Sigh…Well, I am very worried about our Kumbla friend who seems to be spinning out of control. He refuses to comment on cartoons or those who chopped off Kerala Lecturer’s hands. Instead, he blurts out most insane comments!! One of the most notorious outlaws was hunted down and killed by Doddanna’s special forces in our ‘peace-loving’ neighbor. Did RSS provide him a safe sanctuary? Well, no point in asking Pincode Pai as I already know his answer!! smiles…

    BNP Sir ..I understand your pain. Karavali Karnataka was never given its due by the powers in the capital. So sad we lost Kasargod. We cannot do anything else but pay tearful homage to Nadoja Kayyara Kinhanna Rai and of course rue the loss of Kasaragodu.

  • From A. S. Mathew on Mumbai: Couples picked up from hotel rooms, charged with 'public indecency'

    Original R. Pai, since you are a deity worshipper of Modiji, everything you read is hitting on your brain like ‘ ” anti-Modi” or BJP. When some people are over immersed in certain psychology or religion or hero worship, they will be turning totally clueless as you have indicated. Indeed, you are speaking for yourself as clueless. I am a very strong conservative in my ethical view point in life. The Western nations were terribly faced with a moral crisis in which, pornography and the rest have played key roles in the total deterioration of the society; so I am against that. If the police happened to see public indecency in an open area like beaches or parks, they must be arrested for public indecency. But, if the police is taking the rule of law to enter the hotels and trying to catch everybody inside, and demanding their proof as married couples, even the married couples don’t have much proof in India now. The police won’t dare to enter into a 5 or 4 star or even 3 star hotels to enforce their own invented indecency law. Why? The police may lose their uniform or be trapped in an indecency chamber. This action undertaken by the Mumbai police or in any other city in India is total insanity. How the police is dealing with the red light districts like karmarthipura in Mumbai? If some social and religious organizations are trying to rescue those totally helpless women being engaged in the business of prostitution, those kind-hearted people are harassed for kickbacks by the morally elevated police force. What kind of decency of the police is that? The ethical and corruption-free police found a new avenue to get some easy money through harassing and slapping on the defenseless people.

  • From B. N. Pai. on Kasaragod: Veteran Freedom Fighter Centenarian Kayyar Kinhanna Rai Passes Away

    balanna: “Great loss. Sad that his dream of unification of Kasargod with Karnataka and creation of Tulunadu could not be realized.” Kasaragod is the original wife of Karnataka. But Karnataka is entangled into extra marital affairs with Belgaum, of Maharashtra. When wife (Kasaragod) begged for “Ekikarana”, Karnataka refused to oblige. Karnataka is infatuated with its paramar, Maharashtrian Belgaum! Mahajan Commission Report said Kasaragod must go to Karnataka. But Karnataka never asked for Kasaragod on stand alone basis. Only when Maharashtra demands Belgaum, Karnataka sheds crocodile tears for Kasaragod! This is not to get Kasaragod, but just to prevent Belgaum going to Maharashtra, by complicating and widening the issue. I, AS A KANNADIGA, WISH THAT KARNATAKA MUST BE FRAGMENTED AND KODAGU, TULU NADU OF SOUTH CANARA AND KASARAGOD DISTRICTS MUST BE UNITED TO FORM A SEPARATE STATE. THE HYDERABAD KARNATAKA AND THE BOMBAY KARNATAKA MUST ALSO BE CUT OFF FROM KARNATAKA TO HAVE TWO MORE STATES. WHENEVER I HEAR THE KANNADA ANTHEM, “UDAYAVAGALI NAMMA CHELUVA KANNADA NAADU, …RAJANYA RIPU PARASHU DHARANA JANANIYA BEEDU …”; WHICH I WAS SINGING WITH FERVOUR AND INTENSE FEELING AND PRIDE, I WEEP NOW. IT MAKES ME HATE KARNATAKA. THAT IS MY REVENGE. I MAY FAIL, BUT “PARASANGADA KARNATAKA MUST PERISH FOR THE CRIME IT COMMITTED TO KASARAGOD. NOW , AFTER 60 YEARS, THE DEMOGRAPHY OF KASARAGOD HAS CHANGED BEYOND REDEMPTION DUE TO MALAYALI AGGRESSION. KANNADIGAS OF KASARAGOD ARE UNDONE. BUT, GOD WILL PUNISH DEBAUCHEROUS KARNATAKA BY CHANGING ITS GEOGRAPH ALTOGETHER AND FOR EVER!
