From Azoz on Did P C Ray discover hydroxychloroquine?

Indian social media is so full of falsehood that nowadays everything appearing on it seems suspicious. In their zeal to praise and promote some selected individuals/parties and certain ideologies, vested interests are discrediting the whole Indian social media.

From George Pais on Retailers should buy Fruits and Vegetables from Wholesale Merchants at APMC

A good move by MCC to shift wholesale fruit and vegetable buisiness to Baikampady. Present central market area was planned 60 years ago based on then Mangalore’s population of a few thousand and has become so crowded and was long due to shift . Baikampady APMC has a vast land to serve this business, which serve buyer and seller in a very comfortable manner. If there’s any resistance Hopcoms or horticultural society may be romped for easy transition of this buisiness shift to APMC.

Why can’t we have a clear cut plan on how to tackle this situation instead of changing the rules every day? What is the point of having shops open from 7 to 12? people will flock to the supermarkets and the whole purpose of the lockdown is lost. I also cannot understand how people travelling in a car or bike can spread the virus. Even if they are just driving to have fun instead of sitting at home they cannot spread the virus.

From Henry James on Ban on All Private Vehicles to Continue Until April 14 - Kota Srinivas Poojary

While the enormity of the spread of the virus is truly mind-boggling I am not entirely sure the enforced shutting down of the economy is going to be a good idea. I make no attempt to belittle or besmirch the sincere efforts the authorities are putting in in order to contain the spread of the virus, there are far too many variables in this which will result in drastic unintended consequences down the line. No doubt the elderly and the vulnerable should be quarantined however shutting down the whole system for uncertain duration will bring nothing but misery to our future generations. There is no right or wrong solution to how this pandemic has to be handled however we face a devil and deep sea situation – guillotine or death by thousand cuts and I don’t take it lightly when I say this. At some point we all have to bite the bullet and count the casualties, because the virus may come back in mutated form in a year’s time. Are we going to shut down the system once again? My view is governments are overreacting because they do not know what to do and hence would like to be seen to be doing something. As far as I have looked up no country/government has analysed the long-term economic impact of this lockdown. Ever since the 2008-09 economic crisis, the world was on borrowed time. Nothing was mended at that time, instead governments printed trillions in order to pull wool over the whole scandal. Now this Covid virus has been that external pinprick that has truly burst the over-inflated bubble. It could have been anything else but virus turned out to be the one. As far as I can see businesses will collapse worldwide due to this lockdown, unemployment will rise and it is going to bring about untold economic misery all around us. We will enter into decades of global depression. All the western governments and their citizens were already neck-deep in debt and this lockdown is the ultimate icing on the cake. We may even go back a century when it comes to prosperity/social wellbeing. Most small and medium sized businesses hold cash enough for a month. Nobody has tried to understand what will happen when we go beyond a month but governments are mandating that they pay their employees. And these small businesses form 70% of the whole economy. May be I should leave it to our in-house expert Drona to elaborate on this but coming to the virus itself, I am not entirely convinced it can be compared to the likes of plague. The data does not fit together. The number of affected and the casualties for the most part are within the range for a normal winter flu season (with may be a few aberrations in some places). It is true that we do not have a panacea yet but according to the experts, majority of the people are either not aware that they had the virus while many others have gotten better. The only common factor among the casualties appears to be those with weaker immune system – either the elderly or those with other health conditions. While I have sympathy for them but my point is how long is this going to continue? What is the trade-off we are all going to agree on at some point? If we all sat at home through the winter, we can even beat the common cold but at what cost? If we continue to lockdown the whole country for another 3 months, with the summer season coming up we may beat the virus but then the government will have another set of worries to deal with, such as inflation, unemployment, suicides, broken families etc. In the last 15-20 years, our expectations and sense of entitlements in life have gone too far high. Imagine in this scenario the breadwinner of the family losing job. It affects the entire family. It affects their children’s future. This oncoming recession is something not any of us have seen in our lifetime. May be when we enter into an economic depression in a few years, the governments and people will realise this drastic shutdown of the economy (which is happening today) was a bad idea. The governments are doing these things not so much as they have concern for all of us, instead it is more of a face-saving exercise for them because they have been caught with their pants down. They were least prepared. They have millions to spend on horse-trading using 5-star resorts but are now begging the public for donations. There is another aspect here – The Asian countries, many of which are still ‘developing’, should not have gone for such drastic measures like their western counterparts have taken up. May be India could have shutdown international air travel back in mid-February but should have kept the domestic economy going. We would have recovered faster. Now all of us will end up in the same ditch. Western governments (mainly Europe) were nearly bankrupt anyway and were looking for an excuse and this virus is a godsend for them so they can now blame everything on the virus, whereas for India the gross over-reaction was not at all necessary. Again, this is my view. I hope I end up being proven wrong on the predictions I have made above.

very useful information. thank you. if anybody finds a N95 mask anywhere please donate or even sell(at zero profit) them to your nearest hospital tackling COVID 19 patients. There is an acute acute acute shortage of N95 masks for medical professionals all over the world. until N95 masks are manufactured in surplus and available easily to the medical profession please do not stack up on them. Many medical professionals all over the world are contracting COVID19 due to lack of PPE gear. If most of the medical professionals are put out of action the patients are as good as dead.

Unable to understand this complete lockdown and shutting of essential supplies in the district for over two days. Kerala , which has more positive cases definitely seems to be managing the situation much better, all essential supplies ensured throughout the state, in some cases even the local govt organised home deliveries. As of yesterday, they have commenced community kitchens to provide food for the underprivileged. And as a neighbouring district we are not even able to manage the essential supplies for few hours in the day. Very sad indeed.

The lockdown is being enforced effectively by the police department. But what about the district administration and local govt ensuring that essential supplies reach the public. The main reason for many cases in Kerala being reported that is that they have rigorous testing and mass quarantine. Can we confidently say that all the cases in DK have been detected ? DO we have such rigorous testing ? Kerala imposed a lockdown first in the country but they still manage to ensure supply of essentials , emergency transport to the public, good healthcare etc.

This is good and kind initiative. Of course, to be expected! But, his announcement — in a style that typifies politicians as dumb — that essentials will be delivered, he has made a fool of himself but worse is he has confused the people. What is the mechanism to supply the essentials? Even if it is through volunteers, how does that help? How do you ensure everyone gets the essentials? How do you ensure everyone does not get the dreaded virus along with the essentials? Who will ensure the safety of volunteers who take part? Without thinking or planning anything, you announce some measures. That will only add to the woes of people and not assuage it a bit. I know you won’t read this nor anyone will tell you.

From francis lobo Mangalore on Not Coronavirus, Citizens May Soon Get 'MaranaVirus' from Bunch of Filthy Open Drains in Our 'Smart City'?

Thanks for highlighting this issue which is pending for a long time. Incidentally, the Biryani from the restaurant you mentioned in the article is very famous in Mangalore and all people buy it through the online orders and delivery agents. This stormwater drain water was used many years for watering the paddy fields when there were no houses around . Once people built houses around the place the stormwater drain was used as a sewage drain and we are in this situation and the paddy fields vanished

Social inequalities and lack of formal education are behind the unemployability. These people end up finding self employment. Banks give loans. Of course they need to be monitored for hygiene and safety and nuisance they cause. Why not take one or two of them to your church compond on a Sunday?

From Henry James on Despite CM BSY’s orders, Malls functioning in Udupi

This virus outbreak is going to bring about a few changes soon – 1. People’s health and hygiene standards are drastically going to improve. Indian government may even enact a law to punish those who spit or blow their nose in the public. The Kerala State government already has passed this law. 2. According to some surveys 80% of the white collar jobs can be safely done from home. This rings the alarming bell for the commercial real estate. Many financially struggling businesses will use the Work-from-home (WFH) model for their employees so employers can save on the inflated rents and the associated running costs in big cities. This is a bolt out of the blue for the already ailing real estate sector. But in all fairness they deserve it. 3. This WFH model for the white collar jobs is going to bring about a revolution in the labour market/employment sector where work will be based on assignments/projects (bound by the project-specific contractual obligations) to be finished within a time frame. This gives a lot of flexibility for both the workers as well as the employers. Employees can finish their job in a flexible manner while still trying to balance rest of their life while the employers can get rid of all the additional costs that come in the form of office rent, personnel/Human Resources etc. Labour force will be forced to manage themselves and handle every aspect pertaining to their jobs. At the moment the unions dictate the businesses while the union members get all the benefits regardless of whether they are productive at their jobs or not. This new model will also force the individuals to upskill themselves instead of relying on the employers to do everything for them. The labour laws in the developed world are draconian and allow little flexibility. That will change soon…It is going to be ಪಂಡಿ ಬೇಲೆ, ಪಾಡಿ ನುಪ್ಪು as they in Tulu. 4. This epidemic will send a strong signal to those who get to the streets to protest anything and everything just in order to score their political objects regardless of the damage they cause to others’ property. The fear of death will keep them in check. At the moment a section of the population is toiling to pay taxes and the rest of the layabouts are enjoying the ride at their expense. 5. Most importantly, this epidemic has forced the world to pause for a moment and take a deep breath. The way the world was running so far was as if there was no tomorrow. Every one was running but nobody really knew where exactly they were running to. This is a very much needed break. So, not everything is wrong about this virus. It has brought sense into various aspects of life.

People do not understand the impact of hanging hoardings on the life of common citizens. There was an incident in Tamil Nadu in which a hoarding fixed on the road fell on a girl driving the motorcycle and this was followed by her getting crushed under the wheel of the truck which was behind her vehicle. The politicians who fixed this went scot-free. Here also the hoarding is put on the main bridge and there is a chance that it may fall and hurt the people. Our local administration is always sleepy and they will come to fore only when an accident occurs and then forget the same.

From Richard Thomas on Not Smart! Having Bunch of Raised Manhole Covers on Footpath Posing Danger to Pedestrians

Dear Alfie, You nor any one with some common sense cannot straighten things out in Mangalore or Udupi. Most works of roads, pavements, foot-over-bridges, drainage, storm-water drains come under the authority and responsibility of the Ministry of Public Works. However, none of the people in Authority ever walk – so it would not make any difference to them how planning, designing, and construction is carried out – as all their favoured Contractors give them their Moolah to get a job. Check out the amount of people hanging around in the Municipal offices in Mangalore and Udupi, who have no business to be there of any tax payment nature. No work is ever carried out to yours or mine satisfaction or comfort! The Smart City is a hypothetical title otherwise, you would not be the only one writing articles after articles on bad roads, bad drainage, bad pavements, excavation by cell phone companies, flooding, over-flowing sewers, having returned from US of A, where Ministry of Public Works is not governed by a Politician but by the people of that town/city Community.

From Roy on PhonePe, Yes Bank's Other Digital Partners Face Heat of RBI's Moratorium

YES Bank has grown under the BJP’s watch as follows: FY2014: Rs 55,000 crore, FY2015: Rs 75,000 crore, FY2016: Rs 98,000 crore, FY2017: Rs 1,32,000 crore, FY2018: Rs 2,03,000 crore and FY2019: Rs 2,41,000 crore,” Chidambaram said. Anil Ambani and Subash Chandra, two billionaires close to Modi and the BJP, are on Yes bank’s list of biggest defaulters. BJP wants SBI to buy Yes bank’s shares at Rs 10 per share when Yes bank’s value is probably zero. The most probable reason BJP is using taxpayer money to bail out Yes bank is to protect its billionaire cronies from having to pay thousands of crores in loans immediately to Yes bank.

A strange article, and very confusing, yet on facts. There are two distinct halves of the article, First an excellent write up of what parents should and should not do. Very realistic indeed. The second one seems to be an advertisement or endorsement of a product. That is a little strange because in the previous paragraph author send it is better not to control. Yet suggests using SPY-ware. As a parent, my question is “What do you do after finding something using spy-ware”? Once you see something, you have to prevent and you try to ‘politely tell’ or “angrily yell” Kid agrees but returns to the same activity a few days later. Any further hint or nudge could be misconstrued as controlling. So there is no win-win situation unless children ‘educate’ themselves to maintain the sanity at home and in their won life

From Henry James on PhonePe, Yes Bank's Other Digital Partners Face Heat of RBI's Moratorium

It’s like rearranging the deck chairs on the sinking Titanic. SBI bailout may buy a couple of years but the poison will still remain in the banking sector. Might delay the inevitable by a little more. It’s like cancer cells. Until the government brings in a stringent criminal law to imprison those convicted under the financial misconduct for at least 25 years (i.e. the “chakki peesing” punishment) Indian economy hasn’t got a bat’s chance in hell of prospering. PMC’s Joy Thomas, PNB Shetty, Rana Kapoor et. al. should be sent away for at least 25 years. Then we may have some hope. In fact it’s the punishment of that kind that has maintained the reputation in the American financial system. But in India we have the English/Common law system but with the worst of both worlds where the accused gets more rights than those affected. And the never ending system of appeals pulls wool over everyone’s eyes. Why hasn’t Modi figured out about this? If there are 2 people who I want to point a finger at, then it is MMS and Chidambaram. Modi comes a distance 3rd. In fact if it were personally up to me, I would **** both MMS and PC with their own mundaas and lungi publicly. I still struggle to fathom with what decency they are criticising the current government about the current banking crisis when they were the chief architects.

From Henry James on PhonePe, Yes Bank's Other Digital Partners Face Heat of RBI's Moratorium

Just for the record, the ongoing Yes Bank saga is yet another fruit from the UPA era which despite everyone being aware it, the BJP government did nothing in the last 6 years. All the key people such as Raghuram Rajan, Urjit Patel, Bhandary knew about this but our dear leader Modi-G couldn’t care less, instead he replaced them all with stooges. Now let the BJP government deal with the mess somebody else had created. Selling tea may make someone an able leader but that does not automatically make him an expert on everything. A good leader listens. The economy is collapsing in front of our eyes, banks are on life support, stock market is crashing. Only low oil price is keeping a lid on the simmering turmoil. Now some idiot close to him will advice him to raid the bank lockers. And then you watch the fun unfolding in front of your eyes. Ever since BJP came to power Modi has gone on a spending binge using borrowed money (mudra yojana etc.). He was effectively doing banks’ job without employing due diligence. It’s easy to throw away somebody else’s money. Banks have a well-established process while ascertaining the creditworthiness of the borrower but UPA used shoulder-twisting techniques to lend to their cronies while Modi by-passed the system altogether. Now the taxpayer is ****ed. The writing is almost on the wall, he will be forced to turn himself into Erdogan or a Mussolini. You can not rule a country of 1.2 billion when the system is crashing. Sad to see it because in other areas of administration he has done a commendable job. I am not questioning his intentions – I am sure he cares about the poor people but so does everyone else. But when there is no money, from where are you going to help the poor? On one hand he wants digital economy (cash ban) and at the same time people can not get to their money due to the banks collapsing. Why is he not getting the point? A little bit of common sense and economic knowledge would have helped but he and those close to him are too stubborn to listen. Yathaa raaja, thathaa prajaa. Now sit back and enjoy.

From Henry James on Relations are sacred… Let us respect relationships

Read the below 10 times… There are no “real” relations in life apart from the blood relations. Everything else is a social construct powered by the illusion a few body-chemicals create in the mind. From evolution standpoint men are pigs and women are weak, so in order to tame the former and protect the latter, the institution of marriage was created by the society. As a precursor to marriage, society felt it convenient to allow a phase called “relationship”. Do not read too much into it more than what it truly is. All this soulmate, lover etc. is absolute bull. If love truly existed people would never fight after they got married. Existentially speaking, marriage and relationships are a meaningless fad. All that the existence/nature cares about is the continuation of the species and for that it creates attraction between the 2 genders. The process of reproduction is as ugly as sin but this attraction that the nature creates between opposite sexes transcends all of that. The nature (i.e. the unconscious mind) is stronger manifolds compared to our conscious mind and hence we succumb to our bodily urges. All nature cares about is the meeting of the seed with the ovum. And that meeting is what ultimately matters to the nature. Everything else, as I said, is a social drama. If physical beauty really mattered, women wouldn’t begin to lose their physical charm as they grew old. There was no make up necessary. The point is, the external beauty in a woman was conferred by nature only with the purpose of attracting the male for the sake of reproduction. There is no other reason. Unfortunately some people have monetised their beauty to become models and are seeking attention from the public. I would go one step further and claim that even blood relations are meaningless. Blood relations are only a consequence/side-effect connected with the implementation detail of your coming into existence. We all had to “arrive” but we couldn’t magically appear out of nowhere, therefore nature chose 2 individuals to come together so you could manifest. Moral of the story is you are on your own, you have come for a reason and you have to pursue your own destiny in this world. You may cherish the relationships you will find around you but never get attached to them because detachment causes misery. Have a lovely weekend.

From drona on Passenger asks vegetable biryani, Shatabdi Express delivers chicken

Suppose some Abdul Kunhi was served Veg Biryani, would it amount to the same level of hurt? Or if some Alwyn D Souza is served idli sambar instead of double omlette and toast? Or if some Nanje Gowda is served anna sambar instead of mudde sambar? So on and si forth. PS: I don’t think vegetarians eat non veg but no veg eaters will not mind veg. Teekh hai na?

Instead of the Bishops’ conference worrying about CAA, here is a case they should be paying close attention to. If you can not allow priests to get married, at least pass a canon law to legalise castration. The problem is that the decision makers in the church are one foot from the grave so why would they be interested in reforms when it only helps the younger priests?

From D. FERNANDES on Kambala jockey Srinivas Gowda refuses to undergo SAI trials

Srinivas Gowda may be a good prospect at the kambala but it will be another story at the running track. No doubt, Srinivas is well built but his transformation to become a top sprinter may take ages. Adaption to running with shoes will be the key to succeed. As soon as he manages that Srinivas can be a good bet. There is also an urgent need for a sports psychologist to tune his brain into track running just as he says bye to his favourite kambala. He is no spring chicken anymore and one is unsure if the entire exercise will be fruitful. Probably, they should train many like Srinivas in one go so that at least a few turn out to be good. One can only wish ‘good luck’ Srinivas.

From Henry James on Gowda can't be Olympic star overnight: Kambala organiser

I am reasonably confident on his own (i.e. without the buffaloes) Mr.Gowda will not be able to win against Bolt. My bet is he will need his buffaloes on the Olympics track in order to beat Bolt but that will cause inconvenience to other athletes on the track including Bolt. So, in order to have a level playing field, what I suggest is that instead of Buffaloes, they should set a couple of hungry tigers chasing after these sprinters. That would make them cover 100 meters in under 8 seconds. Ask any psychologists worth their salts if you do not believe me. When it comes to survival, humans can break any records.

Before the age of the air travel it used to take months for contagious diseases to cross continents but now it only take 8 hours for the virus to spread from Asia to Europe. Under this context, it’s an irresponsible statement by the Udupi DC. How can he be certain there won’t be someone who recently arrived from Dubai with the virus? Dubai being the prominent international travel hub already has identified a few infected patients with corona virus. Only one sneeze is enough for the virus to spread. And it has 14 days incubation period.

Politicians are like Snakes. They have Two Tongues like Snake to shake both sides. Just look: You feed a Snake and hug but one day it bites you and OR kills you. Same way a Politician eats at fund raising and collects money with promises and after Elected they bite and give Cross Legs so You will fall. It is very difficult to catch a snake because it is slippery,Runs and Hides behind bushes. Same way a politician. Whatever wrong they do,hard to catch them because they slip out and hide behind Party Banner in Delhi. How much show they do, at Tax Payer’s cost. MLC Ivan installed Police barricades with His name on It but the cost is Tax Payers hard earned money. I have installed many Sign boards for Traffic Department for the benefit of Public at my Cost but I did not publish my name on it.

Many people from Karnataka and Goa work in the Gulf. Karnataka and Goa are ruled by the BJP. Will the CM’s of Goa and Karnataka oppose the amendment to section 6 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, proposing to reduce the stay period for the Indian citizens or persons of Indian origin from 182 days to 120 days, for being treated as residents for tax purposes, which will adversely affect Karnatakans and Goans working the Gulf?

From Henry James on Centre should desist from amending NRI status: Kerala CM

The rule is draconian for the majority of the NRIs while only a few smart NRI businessmen abuse the “NRI definition” to escape taxes. What the government as part of the budget last week should have done instead was to make the new 120-days rule applicable to only those NRIs who do not live/work in one foreign country for at least 182 days in a year, instead use the “country-hopping” trick to spend a couple of months every year in each country where they have long term residency visas, while living most of the year in India to escape the tax regime in any country. That would have been a sensible approach. Implementation of my suggestion would be difficult but they could have started off with the self-declaration from the NRIs every year and the IT auditing a few random ones. For the sins of the few, the vast innocent majority shouldn’t suffer. That’s my view but the governments use one fell swoop to entirely shut the loophole without any due diligence.

Much of the discounts/cash backs in Big Bazar are given thru Future pay. Those who hold future pay wallets are eligible for the special price. One should read the fine print before shopping, instead of later accusing the stores of cheating. Such a big article without basis and not showing the fineprint! Cheating is only if the store charges more than the MRP. Looks motivated and done on the behest of competitors to write misleading HL.

Thrice bitten thrice fooled!! When you know very well (with your own experience) that the super markets cheat, why did you not check right at the counter on 20th Jan. Of course they try all tricks to lure customers to come and do the shopping. And many gullible customers fall prey. Although they have announced discount prices on many commodities, it is possible that they did not update in the billing section. So, it is advisable not to rush to shopping on the day of big discount sale. Wait for a day to stabilize the pricing and other things.

Mr.Alfie, Peoples Forum should have asked if Two Thousand plus Crores were Total Calculated included on the Table and Under ………. Also. The most Stupid Bus Stand you will ever see Designed by Smart Engineers. At Bendoor Bus stand, Older People have to be lifted to reach the Benches. In Kelarai Bus stand Passengers have to jump across Rain Gutter to reach Bus Stand. Smart Design. Smart Clock Tower to Control Traffic because Vehicles struggle to follow Traffic Laws. Now they are talking about Traffic Problem and Circles. Nanthoor Signal was in use for few months only. Bunts Hostel Signal is catching Dust along with 90% failure among all others. Is the cost included new vehicles for … and others. I request the Media to Keep Eagle Eyes on these Projects and catch Crooks.

Dear Mangaloreans, please try to find out how many Engineers have got genuine Degrees. Then You Citizens will know their Smartness. City Lays the Interlocks and removes it, as it shows a plan in the name of smart city. My kind request to every Citizen to find out what happens to the laid and removed Interlocks from the city area. Where these Interlocks end up and in whose Property. Secondly on which City Road they are Re-Installed Again and Billed to Public. Please Contact Anti Crime Office in Kottara, inside MUDA Building, Second Floor. They will surely do the Investigation. As I know them well, they are very Cordial, very Polite and Very Helpful. They will Surely take Action. Mr Alfie, You should also join together and do the investigation. Thanks to all who take this matter seriously and save Public Life and Money.

From Henry James on BJP, RSS plan protest on January 13 against construction of Christ statue in Kanakapura

I am glad that you have chosen to respond to my remarks. First things first – When I write my rebuttal here, please do not take it personally. My questions are generally aimed at those who think they are the custodians of Christianity, not you in particular. I have immense respect towards those who have dedicated their life for others. So it is going to be issue-based criticism on some of the things that I believe are hypocritical in Christianity, as opposed to blanket opposition to anything and everything that is related to priests in general. Hope you will make that distinction as you read through my response. Before I begin, I would like to clarify that I can only speak from my own experiences. I am not the kind that reads things from some books written centuries ago and regurgitates it here just to prove a point. Secondly, I do not care about this statue that is the bone of contention – frankly I could not care any less, be it about Jesus’ statue or lord Rama’s. Nor do I care about the RSS hooligans because nature has a balancing force so in the end everyone gives account for their actions. There is no escape. If there was no balancing force, we would have destroyed ourselves long time ago. Now, let me answer your various points using my own life experiences -I hope I won’t digress too much in the process but only when I paint a broader picture the point becomes clearer as to why I appear to be so radical when I express my views. The problem with the church today is that it has become too arrogant. It has been conveniently hiding all the shameful episodes of its past, be it the inquisition or forceful conversions right through the middle ages in Europe all the way into Portuguese rule in Goa but an average Christian in India is blissfully unware of these things because the church has gone the extra mile in keeping the people ignorant. You intentionally do not want people to learn the truth and know their history, while at the same time you claim that my assertion that religion and god being one of the biggest reasons of countless deaths in this world as my “opinion”. All I can say is reading 100 books helps more than reading just one book. While the indoctrination and the conditioning in Muslim community for example happens blatantly under the threat of throat-slitting, the Christian style is much more clandestine, subtle and happens in disguise. There is an air of suaveness to it. They use guilt, morality and punishment of eternal hell, brimstone etc. as their weapon to fool the gullible public. This indoctrination starts right in the childhood. You guilt the parents into sending their innocent children to Sunday school, catechism at the age of 6 because you truly know that the age of 6 to 10 is the only age to condition the mind of a human being. Once the child becomes a teenager he/she starts to ask questions and that age is not suitable for your grand plans. Sub-conscious mind is dominant up to the age of 10 and it acts like a sponge to absorb any junk that is fed into it, such as heaven, hell, eternal damnation etc. And that is your cunning business plan. Have you seen after life, eternal hell or experienced it before you teach it to others? If you have not, what right do you have to preach it to others especially when that indoctrination plays a dominant role in becoming a part of someone’s character/personality formation later on? It took me several years of my adult life to conclude that what I was taught in the Church through those Sunday schools and catechism was pure garbage. Like I said anything that’s imprinted in the subconscious is hard to get rid of. In fact this is what I say to my sister when she makes my nephews attend those Sunday schools – Satya Nadella, Sundar Pichai, Raghuram Rajan, Aravind Subramniam did not attend Sunday school nor catechism yet they turned out to be alright in the end. Do tell me what’s lacking in their lives that is brimming with abundance in those who have gone through these Sunday schools? Not only did those catechisms not help me, instead I wasted so much of my crucial time, which I could have spent on better things to do, to help me turn into a better human being. I remember very well from my childhood about all these coordinated programs/seminars in my church to fill my mind with junk as if I was the church’s property. I was told our god was the only true god while others worship idols. We are “believers” while others are “non-believers”. Just look at the terminology being employed. Every attempt was made to an extent that I was subconsciously forced to hate people from other religions. That said, what I underwent in the church and what I was experiencing in my daily life outside with other communities was the polar opposite. My Hindu neighbours were showing me (and my family) nothing but love and affection. “Bale parbule, kulle parbule, unas malpuvare, soukyana”. And that is where you witness god-phenomenon, not in those Sunday schools. Most of my years were happily spent in Shivalli Brahmins and GSB households. I did my primary schooling in a Hindu school and they were treating me like some sort of a royalty. I blissfully assimilated with everyone and there were people from Brahmin caste, GSB, Muslims, scheduled castes etc. and not once did I get a feeling that I was treated badly just because I was not a Hindu. I have eaten at Krishna Mata, Laxmi Venkatesh temple, Venkataramana temple, Dharmastala, Shringeri, various Hindu car festivals and those experiences have made my life richer. The point is, when I was part of the church against my wish (children do not have a say on anything in India, do they?), an indirect attempt was made (in a subtle manner) to make me hate people from other communities. To give an anecdotal evidence, once I, along with my Hindu friends, had attended a local Hindu festival (Jaathra) and the nun head mistress of my high school got wind of it and she made my life miserable for having attended that event as if this nun was the custodian of my life. At that time I was helpless because all these religious people were psychologically controlling me. And now I see this as nothing but a pogrom in a clandestine way so I remained an obedient sheep for the rest of my life. Fast forward it to today – today I can see the same priests and nuns visit and attend religious events from other religions (this is a good development by the way) but my question is why did they not have that foresight a few decades ago when I was way ahead of the times? Don’t get me wrong, Christian missionaries have contributed immensely to the Indian society without looking at caste or creed, especially in the field of health and education but what I would like to question is the real motive behind it all. Is it to propagate faith? On one hand you are asking how many conversions are taking place but on the other you started this topic using the text “Indian Christians have the fundamental right to preach and propagate their faith.” Are you not contradicting yourself? Can’t one do good work without having any intention behind it? Let me say a few words about the church in general – Despite finding itself in a cornered position from time to time when they are check-mated about various scandals in the church or when their tall claims are conclusively disproven by Science, what I have found is that the key people in Catholicism have an ingenious gift to cover those up and pretend as if nothing has happened (“there is nothing to see here folks. Just move one..”). History has clearly documented the scandals in the church right from the beginning through the middle ages (especially the role it was playing in meddling in political affairs, the wars instigated, the innocents burnt at the stake) but how many Christians in India today are aware of those? If they really come to know what was taking place they would shun their faith overnight. Has any of the clergy ever attempted to talk about such scandals in their Sunday sermons? If you do not acknowledge your past then do not be surprised when one day you find your house becomes empty. Bible mentions about resurrection, ascension into heaven etc. Every priest today says those were the historically accurate facts. There is even mention of ascension of body with the soul. Church hasn’t yet got the decency to admit that those were only metaphorical events. The conventional knowledge when the bible was written was that earth was flat, hence they had thought heavens are above (up in the sky) why hell is below hence the biblical writers got carried away with the “ascension of the body with the soul” and the sheep today truly believe that to be the case. Today I do not care about the accuracy of that event but when I was force-fed that when I was a child, it created a conflict in my mind when science was teaching me earth was round. And took me well into my adulthood to realise that biblical story was totally wrong. The problem was when the mind of a child is fed with 2 contradictory ideas, the one that’s forced down under the threat of hell and eternal damnation is the one which the child accepts. And that child remains confused forever because subconscious mind is sealed. Now let me come to the cover-ups in the church. There have been so many cases of child abuse, paedophilia in the Church in the last few decades and the Popes were conveniently looking the other way whenever those incidents were reported because the church had so much of clout back then. It’s unsurprising that most of the people in the West (whose ancestors were devout Christians for centuries) have shunned their faith today because the problem is Church does one thing best and that’s the cover ups. It’s just that you people have kept your sheep in India ignorant. And with your periodic dosage of guilt inducement every Sunday, along with the promise of eternal hell and gnashing of teeth you have turned them into schizophrenics. The whole catholic community has become mental patients. And with this new trend of charismatic retreat centers in Potta, Mulki, and big cities this paranoia is now on steroids. Catholics today are too afraid to think or to ask questions because post-death fires of hell keeps them in check and that serves your purpose well. When a person dies, the body decays no doubt. What we know as pain is a physical phenomenon. So Just curious, what exactly suffers in those fires of hell you keep repeating every Sunday when the body has disappeared? Here is what I have to say over the whole matter of religion and god – I do not say there is no god. My intellect says there is no god but my experience says there is likely to be. When there is a conflict between mind and heart I settle with the latter but that is not to say I just believe in all this stupid belief and faith to convince me of the things that I do not understand. Instead I would like to explore it through my own experiences in life. For that I do not need a middle man called religion or a priest. Life is self-exploratory. Religions and priests should not assume that only they have the divine right to guide people in their spiritual journey. Neither of us are superior, or inferior. That said we are not equal either because we are all unique individuals who have to pursue our own destiny. Religion may have played a role in the past but it has become too much of a corrupt and divisive force for me to use it as a tool to help me purse my destiny today. It has become too political. Having said all that I am not here to say we should banish religion outright. But what I want to see is radical reforms. Instead of indoctrination I want to see an atmosphere under the umbrella called religion where people can freely express and explore themselves without the fear of any dogma, faith or belief system. They should be allowed to ask questions instead of silly beliefs being rammed deep down their throats. I want the celibacy for priests to end so we can avoid all the scandals in the church whether it is paedophilia or sexual crimes. And I also want the church to come out clean about its crooked past, all its historic crimes. But we both know that’s not going to happen, is it? But nothing wrong in expressing my views, is there? Religion should be something that blossoms in people’s hearts the grace of which should ooze out and be visible to others. Instead what we are seeing is exactly the opposite. All we see is pointless exhibitionism in the outside world while people’s hearts are empty. Churches have turned into places that wield a lot of material wealth which is clearly visible. We see so many financial scandals and the priests are in the middle of it but they want to be infallible. I am not making these things up instead I am writing what I am seeing happening in our churches these days. At this ending stage of my rather long response, I would like to digress a bit and would like to bring up this unnatural death of this young priest in a church in the Diocese of Udupi only a few months ago. You appear to be a priest, so do tell me, what has happened to that case? Has it been covered up? If you are a fellow-priest have you raised your voice to demand justice? Instead of repeating myself, do read my observations which I had posted as a comment in another new article on this site. Please do let me know what you think of it. Using that as an episode, I would like to see how exactly what you believe in as a priest fits into the overall scaffolding called the Christianity. If there is one thing I still cling on to when it comes to my “faith”, it’s love and concern towards my fellow human being, so I believe I am not being unjust when I bring up this matter of the suspicious death of the priest.

From zafarullah on All Set! Over 1 Lakh Protesters to Converge on 15 Acre Ground for Peaceful Protest against 'CAA & NRC' in Adyar

NRC is linked to CAA, which grants citizenship rights to Non-Muslims only. Previous amendments were not religion based. CAA 2019 is not for Assam only; it is for whole India. In NRC, all citizens (135 crore Non-Muslims & Muslims) have to prove nationality. Passport, Aadhar Card, Voters’ Identity Card will not be its proof. Dozens of crores Indians may fail to prove it. Muslims may be about 14.2% & Non-Muslims may be about 86% (population %). CAA may give nationality to refugees of 3 neighbor countries, if entered India legally, before 31-12-14, are not Muslims; not to anyone else. What about Non-Muslim Indians (around 86% sufferers), who fail to prove nationalities. Non-Muslims will suffer more and Muslims will suffer less by NRC & CAA. Let us struggle together for all to save secularism, democracy and constitution. UNITE NOW.

From A. S. Mathew on If Temples can be Built in UAE and USA, why not Jesus Statue in India? - U T Khader

How hospitable and greatly concerned with the Christians of Afghanistan-Bangladesh and Pakistan by Modi-Amith Shah? The attacks against the Christians have greatly increased since BJP-RSS came into power in 2014. Smriti Irani with the backing of the BJP rulers tried too hard to take off the Christmas holiday from the Indian Calendar in 2014 itself and to make that as the birthday of Vajpayee, but it didn’t work out. She got her high school diploma from a Catholic Church operated High School. The anti-conversion law in 10 States, added four more in the BJP States since BJP came into power. Blocking of the funding of thousands of NGOs in India, mainly the Christian operated. The murderer Dara Singh and his comrades of the Australian missionary Graham Stains and his 10 and 6 years old sons 20 years back were active member of the Bajrang Dal. Head of that radical party Bajrang Dal, Pratap Sranji was given a Cabinet post by the Modi administration in the 2nd term. Pope Francis wanted to visit India, but Modi won’t allow even with the repeated appeals of the Bishops of India. The Christians of northern side of India were afraid to conduct the Christmas program, thus the Catholic Bishop had to make special appeal to the Home Minister Rajnath Singh in 2018 for the special protection of the Christians of India. Finally as Mr. U.T. Khadher has clearly stated, the Hindus can build Temples in the Christian and Muslim countries, but the Christians can’t build a statue of JESUS CHRIST in India. This is the real color of the RSS rulers. Through the CAA, they wanted to oppress the Muslims first, then the Christians. The whole plan is foiled and the Modi-Amith Shah tricks are totally crashed.

From Henry James on Bengaluru bank blames 62 dud loans for crisis

This economic mess no doubt was created by UPA between 2004-2014 through their corny capitalism but Modi-G has exacerbated it by not doing anything about it in the last 5 years. Instead he has gone on a reckless spending binge since 2014 to make it worse. We are seeing the fruits now. Now the experts hoping for him to come to the rescue is like expecting the undertaker to resuscitate the dying patient in the ICU. They are effectively asking for the help of the scissors to stitch 2 torn pieces of cloth. Modi-G has intentionally kept stooges at the key locations so he can get his way of providing the pork-barrel to the electorate by using public/taxpayers’ money. While I have all the appreciation for this other policies, when it comes to economy & finance the central BJP government is no better than some of the leftists governments elsewhere, who just borrow forever in order to stay in power. He clearly does not understand money nor the concept of economics. But one thing I can guarantee you, by the end of his term, through his reckless monetary experiments, he will have gained enough experience in the field of finance that he will be invited to Oxford and Yale to deliver lectures. Coming back to the present, I expect the Indian economy to turn down hard towards the end of this year. We will have shocks in the banking sector as well as the stock market while inflation will creep up. The incompetent Sitaraman will be “promoted” to a lesser ministry so Modi-G can wash his hands off the episode. The governments as usual will not take any responsibility for their failures, instead will commit more blunders… just like those incompetent doctors during the medieval times who thought bleeding the patient was the only way to save him and when the patient died in the end, they would claim the reason for death was that the patient was not bled fast enough. On one hand, with his demonetisation and the push for digital money he is forcing people to go cashless and on the other hand people can not get to their money because of the failing banks. So what kind of message is he trying to send to the population? Does he expect people to abandon the Rupee and hoard gold? With the demonetisation, if he had made an example out of a couple of high profile corrupt politicians perhaps he would have maintained some credibility but not one person has gone to jail till date. So we can safely surmise that DeMo was a massive failure, an unmitigated cock-up. Now he will have tough time fighting the 2024 elections because once inflation catches up population becomes restless. Unless he pulls another rabbit out of the hat he has tough time winning the next election. And that rabbit appears to be raiding the bank lockers for stealing gold and if that happens he will set the whole country on fire. Mark my words. ಮಂಗನ ಕೈಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾಣಿಕ್ಯ If BJP can not gain majority in the next election, no other party will and then you watch the fun unfolding in the economy. When bahen, didi, and madam form an alliance to form the government so they can keep themselves out of jail, the country is going to suffer massively.

“Indian Christians have the fundamental right to preach and propagate their faith. And no RSS/BJP hooligan can take that away.” – Joe Coelho SJ If the product is really good, then you don’t need the marketing department. It’s people like you who have sown the seeds of enmity in the society by trying to “propagate the faith”. People can live happily without religion or faith. Religion is for mob control and people like you who have turned these “believers” into mental patients because of your promise of biriyani after death. Read a bit of history if you find time – Besides mosquitoes, Religion and god are the biggest reasons for countless deaths on this planet. So, see if you have something better to do rather than poisoning people’s minds.

From Joe Coelho SJ on BJP, RSS plan protest on January 13 against construction of Christ statue in Kanakapura

“fundamental right to preach and propagate their faith” is guaranteed in the Constitution. I was just highlighting that. If you have had a bad experience with religion or with God, I am sorry. I am not here to convert you! For me, the value of religion is seen in the fruit it produces. If it produces good fruit, it is a good enterprise. If the fruit is rotten, that surely is a sign of organizational decay or irrelevance. How many Christians that you know of go about converting others? The problem is the false “conversion” narrative (or lie) that is being peddled to incite people. The only reason I used the word “hooligan” is because these folks have been acting that way in the recent years — destroying church property, beating people, and even killing. If they are law-abiding citizens and they see a problem, they should go through the proper channel to seek redress. Note take law into their own hands! And your comment about “religion and god” being the biggest reason for countless deaths….well, that’s your opinion. And you may keep it.

From Joe Coelho SJ on BJP, RSS plan protest on January 13 against construction of Christ statue in Kanakapura

Even though I am a Christian, I am not for constructing statues of anyone! But if the people of a place feel that a statue of Jesus Christ would inspire them to lead better lives, then they should be allowed to do it as long as they have the land and the money for it. Why should the BJP/RSS have any problem? Christian institutions have played an important role in providing education, health-care, and social services to Indians irrespective of caste or creed. Christian Clergy, Religious and Laity serve in remote corners of India bringing relief to the poor and voiceless — and many a time they do so even risking their lives. What is the BJP/RSS afraid of? The 2% Indian Christians? Why? The population of Christians in India has remained under 3% for the past 70 years — even with the so called “conversions” that are said to be taking place!! The BJP/RSS is scared that their hollow faith will be exposed and are therefore working to instill fear and incite passions. Indian Christians have the fundamental right to preach and propagate their faith. And no RSS/BJP hooligan can take that away.

First instigate, engage in violence and then play victim card – This is the same game played by these groups from Gaza strip to Kashmir and, unfortunately, Mangalore as well. True- Police can be rough and disproportionate in their response. Unfortunately, innocent bystanders can fall victim and pay ultimate price. But who instigated the violence? How come they are not taking responsibility for their own action? Also, why are they spreading lies about CAA when it has nothing to do with Indian citizens? These protests are all based on lies and hatred towards Hindus.

From siva on Why were Jalil & Nausheen Killed? WIM stages protest against CAA, NRC and NPR

There is not a single sentence why they consider CAA is aginst them. It ha nothing to do with citizens. The leaders are hiding that fact. CAA is only ensuring that those who created the Pak do not come back. CAA will do no harm to even single citizen whether Muslim or non-Muslim.

From Roy on Bengaluru Archbishop for religion-neutral citizenship offer

BJP is gutting the Constitution with amendments. How many Indians are aware of amendment 126 to the Constitution which deprives Anglo Indians of political representation? No Anglo-Indian leader was consulted before the amendment was rammed through the legislature. BJP has contempt for the Indian Constitution.

From Siva on Bengaluru Archbishop for religion-neutral citizenship offer

Sir, latest amendment to the Indian constitution is 104th. If you meant 126th article, that is also not related to Anglo-Indian Community. There is no amendment that deprives the representation of Anglo-Indians. From what I know, article 334b deals with the special representation of the Anglo- Indian community in the parliament. During Independence Anglo-Indian community was about 5 lakhs. Two special seats by nomination were provided for Anglo-Indians. This was a special arrangement for 20 years which was later extended several times. The current extension by the 95th amendment ends in January 2020. It is estimated that now there are less than 1.5 lakhs who identify themselves as Anglo-Indians mainly because of emigration and marrying Indian community partners. The current extension ends in 2020, it was not extended. That only means they will not have special nomination seat. But they will have their representatives just like you and I have. I don’t see a single person of my micro-community in the Lokasbha. Does it mean I have no representative? Truly people are making up reasons to be against the current government where none exists like the CAA though no citizen will lose their citizenship due to CAA

From siva on Bengaluru Archbishop for religion-neutral citizenship offer

What if Pak pushes more of their majority people in the hope that the cut off date will be extended in the future? Do we have so much resource to take all of them. Their (Paks) main aim would be to change the demography of India. The respected Bishop should know how minorities in those countries have been pushed here. And the Hindus from Pak pushed here have been living miserably in those camps in India too as Government cannot do much as they are not citizens. Last year (December 2017) itself foreign vloggers who came to India have posted how poorly they are living here too but still those refugees think India is better! Those interested can search the youtube and watch! You also have read last week how a young Christian couple were tortured: Young wife was stolen and married on the same day to another man forcibly. Do we really need to help the persecuted one? If we allow everyone, Pak will force many of their poor people to flee to India so that they can ‘occupy’. Sir, that attitude of ‘conquering’ India hook or by crook has not yet abated. History has taught us enough lessons. If we don’t learn from that it would be bad. But what is worse is that leaders are misguiding people saying that it will affect citizens of one community while none of them will be affected. The opposition to CAA does not make sense at any level.

From Henry James on 148 km run to promote gender equality

Instead of taking the pains of running 148 kms to promote gender equality, both men and women participating in this run can pick up the litter in that 148 kms stretch of the road. That will fulfill Modi-G’s vision. Moreover that will be more meaningful. Attention-seeking has its limits. Ramakirshna ashrama do this work sincerely in Mangalore without the pomp and gait. Something to learn from them.

From Henry James on Total Flop! Mangaluru NOT Bandh on Bharath Bandh?

The lukewarm response to this nationwide strike is the evidence that the CAA protest was staged by opposition parties for political gains while the issue really did not have any substance to it. The majority of the country supports CAA and that’s how democracy works. Now pappu can see if he can latch onto another issue.

From Henry James on Church Urged to Promote Solidarity and Secularism in Our Country - Cardinal Oswald Gracias

Before lecturing the world on secularism, do let us know what has happened to the case of unnatural death of a young priest few months ago. Burying the head in the sand, hoping that the problem will go away is not an option. Not all Christians are sheep.

From Roy on Dist Admin and Compol Should not Give Permission for Amit Shah's Visit to Mangaluru - DCC

Why is Amit Shah visiting Mangalore? The crisis in JNU deserves his full attention. The Delhi police report to Amit Shah. It his responsibility to discipline Delhi police for the police inaction to JNU violence.

From Melroy C.F Fernandes on People’s Tribunal on the Police firings in Mangalore on 19 Dec 2019

Finally! at least one member of the “chocolate press” of Mangalore stood up for press freedom and “freedom of expression”. Attaboy! Congratulations Mangalorean.com for responsible journalism and for defending the “freedom of the press”. “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty; power is ever stealing from the many to the few. The manna of popular liberty must be gathered each day or it is rotten. The living sap of today outgrows the dead rind of yesterday. The hand entrusted with power becomes, either from human depravity or esprit de corps, the necessary enemy of the people. Only by continued oversight can the democrat in office be prevented from hardening into a despot; only by unintermitted agitation can a people be sufficiently awake to principle not to let liberty be smothered in material prosperity.” – American Abolitionist and liberal activist Wendell Phillips, January 28, 1852. My appreciation to Justice (Retd.) V. Gopala Gowda ,Mr B T Venkatesh, Mr Sugata Srinivasaraju. Only those who have something to hide are scared of transparency. Here we are talking about events that have taken place in the public domain and not the private life of individuals! I cannot fathom the paranoia displayed by the “we have nothing to hide” officialdom. “Jan Sunvayi’s” were and are an integral part of the RTI movement of India. Nobody is stopping the elected government and the “public servants” from conducting official enquiries and investigations, theirs will always be the official version. In a democratic republic established on the principles of Liberty, the government has no business interfering with people from talking or meeting with each other. That being said what goes around comes around, all those who have been proscribing unbridled freedom of expression, since 1947, lose the moral high ground to seek that right for themselves when the Damocles sword of authoritarianism hangs over their heads. All those “simply waiting to be offended’ers”: the entire country suffers on account of you and your ilk . Remember the banning of Satanic Verses , The Last Temptation of Christ; remember driving away M.F. Hussain; remember the Danish cartoons! &c. They are all coming back to bite us! Only and only unfettered freedom of expression can save democracy! Freedom of expression is when a first generation American ( born of immigrants from Gujarat,India) , Hasan Minhaj , gets invited to the WHCA dinner and, among others, roasts Donald Trump, the then newly elected President of the United States of America and yet continues to live with respect,freedom, liberty and dignity!
