We are to Blame for the Present Mess in India
Let me pose a simple question here. Who is voting these governments to power. It's the people of the country. Where does these politician come from? Again, these are very much Indians. Why did Indian people keep voting congress to power for 65 years and counting even after the abysmal state of the country. The thing is Indians in general are corrupt. I am not saying everyone is corrupt but given the opportunity most of them would resort to so called *corrupt* practices. The first invaders who came to India in late 900s, early 1000 AD were all helped by the local Indians who either wanted to dethrone current ruler or wanted to make money. So betrayal and opportunism is in the blood of Indians since eternity. Same thing happened when Britishers came. Now once in while we get people who are upright like Mr Khemka but again you can see what happens to them. So I would say just blaming politicians and government about everything is not the solution. If India actually want to make some progress, it has to start from the ground. There is no morality, integrity in the so called "common man". How can you expect that people in power suddenly behave as honest? They are the reflection of society they come from.

Wallmart - The modern East India Company
We know of how the pitcher plant flower traps its Prey - don't get carried away by Wallmart (WM) issues helping farmers and creating new jobs. Soon China will take over Indian manufacturers & WM will wipe away other retailers and create more working Poor. Watch film - ' HIGH COST OF LOW PRICE ' to know the impact of inviting Walmart [Here is the Link]. How they abuse suppliers, employees, state funds and destroy communities. UPA (Congress) is cheating us and people like Mittal ( Bharti enterprises) are in partnership with Walmart.
Here is how it goes:-
Step 1 - Walmart (WM) comes, attracts customers with low prices, then those customers stop buying from local shops,
Step 2 - WM buys huge quantities from suppliers and tie them in multiyear contracts so they cannot sell anywhere else.
Step 3 - With no good and no customers shops close, local communities ruined.
Step 4 - Now that suppliers and customers are completely dependent. WM squeezes suppliers to bleeding point. The suppliers close shop so WM then lobbies with corrupt government to raise the 70 % to 80 or 90 or 100% import with justification that there is no supplier in India. People who have shut shops, business etc will now be cheap labour at WM so they can claim to generate employment also!! Soon India buys only Chinese good made with slave labour.
We don't need WM, there are upright companies like ITC and Tata who can invest and give all benefits to India and Indian without looting and filling coffers of Goras in US and Europe..ITC' echoupal is a world famous success helping 5 Millions farmers.. we don't need WM. Fellow Indians please Watch the film ( the accent may be American, but try to understand the disaster that WM will create in few years which is irrepairable).
Does these sounds familiar.... Even EAST INDIA COMPANY came to India to help farmers... and the rest is HISTORY!

10 Reasons – Why Osama Bin Laden got killed?
10 Reasons – Why Osama Bin Laden got killed?
Because:
- Manmohan Singh is not President of US.
- Barack Obama doesn’t take permissions from Sonia Gandhi.
- He was not hiding in India. Our system is unable to find a missing Chief Minister in own country, can you expect them to find Osama.
- He didn’t surrender himself to Indian government. This government is not able to give death sentence to already arrested and convicted by the Supreme Court- Ajmal Kasab (eventually he would be by the SC) and Afzal Guru - after years. Had he surrendered to India, Osama could have spent a life here as our guest on our money.
- CBI was not incharge of investigation and operation. They are busy in saving Kalmadi, Kanimozhi and Raja.
- Amar Singh didn’t leak the tape of Obama’s phone though he could fake one.
- In Pakistan, he was not in minority community (like in India), so no human right activist and secular journalist came to save him.
- He didn’t meet Ekta Kapoor. She could have given him tip to be alive again.
- He didn’t request Rajnikant to save him.
- Last but not the least. He trusted Pakistan ISI and Government (Except common people (Aam Janta) from Pakistan).

IS INDIA A POOR COUNTRY?
Revelation of Swiss bank accounts
This is so shocking.... ...If black money deposits was an Olympics event..... India would have won a gold medal hands down. The second best Russia has 4 times lesser deposit. U.S. is not even there in the counting in top five! India has more money in Swiss banks than all the other countries combined!
Recently, due to international pressure, the Swiss government agreed to disclose the names of the account holders only if the respective governments formally asked for it. Indian government is not asking for the details..... ..no marks for guessing why? We need to start a movement to pressurise the government to do so! This is perhaps the only way, and a golden opportunity, to expose the high and mighty and weed out corruption!
Please read on......and forward to all the honest Indians to.....like somebody is forwarding to you.......and build a ground-swell of support for action!
Is India poor, who says? Ask the Swiss banks. With personal account deposit bank of $1,500 billion in foreign reserve which have been misappropriated, an amount 13 times larger than the country's foreign debt, one needs to rethink if India is a poor country?
DISHONES INDUSTRIALISTS, scandalous politicians and corrupt IAS, IRS, IPS officers have deposited in foreign banks in their illegal personal accounts a sum of about $1500 billion, which have been misappropriated by them. This amount is about 13 times larger than the country's foreign debt. With this amount 45 crore poor people can get Rs 1,00,000 each. This huge amount has been appropriated from the people of India by exploiting and betraying them. Once this huge amount of black money and property comes back to India , the entire foreign debt can be repaid in 24 hours. After paying the entire foreign debt, we will have surplus amount, almost 12 times larger than the foreign debt. If this surplus amount is invested in earning interest, the amount of interest will be more than the annual budget of the Central government. So even if all the taxes are abolished, then also the Central government will be able to maintain the country very comfortably.
Just read the following details and note how these dishonest industrialists, scandalous politicians, corrupt officers, cricketers, film actors, illegal sex trade and protected wildlife operators, to name just a few, sucked this country's wealth and prosperity. This may be the picture of deposits in Swiss banks only. What about other international banks?
Black money in Swiss banks -- Swiss Banking Association report, 2006 details bank deposits in the territory of Switzerland by nationals of following countries:
TOP FIVE
INDIA $1,456 BILLION
RUSSIA $470 BILLION
U.K. $390 BILLION
UKRAINE $100 BILLION
CHINA $96 BILLION
Now do the math's - India with $1,456 billion or $1.4 trillion has more money in Swiss banks than rest of the world combined. Public loot since 1947:
Can we bring back our money? It is one of the biggest loots witnessed by mankind -- the loot of the Aam Aadmi (common man) since 1947, by his brethren occupying public office. It has been orchestrated by politicians, bureaucrats and some businessmen.
The list is almost all-encompassing. No wonder, everyone in India loots with impunity and without any fear. What is even more depressing in that this ill-gotten wealth of ours has been stashed away abroad into secret bank accounts located in some of the world's best known tax havens. And to tha extent the Indian economy has been stripped of its wealth. Ordinary Indians may not be exactly aware of how such secret accounts operate and what are the rules and regulations that go on to govern such tax havens. However, one may well be aware of 'Swiss bank accounts,' the shorthand for murky dealings, secrecy and of course pilferage from developing countries into rich developed ones.
In fact, some finance experts and economists believe tax havens to be a conspiracy of the western world against the poor countries. By allowing the proliferation of tax havens in the twentieth century, the western world explicitly encourages the movement of scarce capital from the developing countries to the rich. In March 2005, the Tax Justice Network (TJN) published a research finding demonstrating that $11..5 trillion of personal wealth was held offshore by rich individuals across the globe.
The findings estimated that a large proportion of this wealth was managed from some 70 tax havens. Further, augmenting these studies of TJN, Raymond Baker -- in his widely celebrated book titled 'Capitalism's Achilles Heel: Dirty Money and How to Renew the Free Market System' -- estimates that at least $5 trillion have been shifted out of poorer countries to the West since the mid-1970.
It is further estimated by experts that one per cent of the world's population holds more than 57 per cent of total global wealth, routing it invariably through these tax havens. How much of this is from India is anybody's guess.
What is to be noted here is that most of the wealth of Indians parked in these tax havens is illegitimate money acquired through corrupt means. Naturally, the secrec associated with the bank accounts in such places is central to the issue, not their low tax rates as the term 'tax havens' suggests. Remember Bofors and how India could not trace the ultimate beneficiary of those transactions because of the secrecy associated with these bank accounts?

Lets Be a Change to India you want to see
* The Former President of India DR. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam's Speech in Hyderabad .
Why is the media here so negative?
Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognize our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse acknowledge them--- Why?
We are the first in milk production.
We are number one in Remote sensing satellites.
We are the second largest producer of wheat.
We are the second largest producer of rice.
Look at Dr. Sudarshan , he has transferred the tribal village into a self-sustaining, self-driving unit.
There are millions of such achievements but our media is only obsessed in the bad news and failures and disasters.
I was in Tel Aviv once and I was reading the Israeli newspaper. It was the day after a lot of attacks and bombardments and deaths had taken place. The Hamas had struck. But the front page of the newspaper had the picture of a Jewish gentleman who in five years had transformed his desert into an orchid and a granary. It was this inspiring picture that everyone woke up to. The gory details of killings, bombardments, deaths, were inside in the newspaper, buried among other news.
In India we only read about death, sickness, terrorism, crime.
Why are we so NEGATIVE?
Another question: Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? We want foreign T. Vs, we want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology.
Why this obsession with everything imported. Do we not realize that self-respect comes with self-reliance? I was in Hyderabad giving this lecture, when a 14 year old girl asked me for my autograph. I asked her what her goal in life is. She replied: I want to live in a developed India. For her, you and I will have to build this developed India. You must proclaim. India is not an under-developed nation; it is a highly developed nation.
Do you have 10 minutes? Allow me to come back with a vengeance.
Got 10 minutes for your country? If yes, then read; otherwise, choice is yours.
YOU say that our government is inefficient.
YOU say that our laws are too old.
YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage.
YOU say that the phones don't work, the railways are a joke,
The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination.
YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits.
YOU say, say and say.. What do YOU do about it?
Take a person on his way to Singapore. Give him a name - YOURS. Give him a face - YOURS. YOU walk out of the airport and you are at your International best. In Singapore you don't throw cigarette butts on the roads or eat in the stores. YOU are as proud of their Underground links as they are. You pay $5 (approx. Rs. 60) to drive through Orchard Road (equivalent of Mahim Causeway or Pedder Road ) between 5 PM and 8 PM. YOU come back to the parking lot to punch your parking ticket if you have over stayed in a restaurant or a shopping mall irrespective of your status identity... In Singapore you don't say anything, DO YOU?
YOU wouldn't dare to eat in public during Ramadan, in Dubai .
YOU would not dare to go out without your head covered in Jeddah .
YOU would not dare to buy an employee of the telephone exchange in London at 10 pounds ( Rs.650) a month to, 'see to it that my STD and ISD calls are billed to someone else.'
YOU would not dare to speed beyond 55 mph (88 km/h) in Washington and then tell the traffic cop, 'Jaanta hai main kaun hoon (Do you know who I am?). I am so and so's son. Take your two bucks and get lost.'
YOU wouldn't chuck an empty coconut shell anywhere other than the garbage pail on the beaches in Australia and New
Zealand
Why don't YOU spit Paan on the streets of Tokyo ? Why don't YOU use examination jockeys or buy fake certificates in Boston??? We are still talking of the same YOU...
YOU who can respect and conform to a foreign system in other countries but cannot in your own. You who will throw papers and cigarettes on the road the moment you touch Indian ground. If you can be an involved and appreciative citizen in an alien country, why cannot you be the same here in India?
Once in an interview, the famous Ex-municipal commissioner of Bombay, Mr. Tinaikar, had a point to make. 'Rich people's dogs are walked on the streets to leave their affluent droppings all over the place,' he said. 'And then the same people turn around to criticize and blame the authorities for inefficiency and dirty pavements. What do they expect the officers to do? Go down with a broom every time their dog feels the pressure in his bowels? In America every dog owner has to clean up after his pet has done the job. Same is in Japan. Will the Indian citizen do that here?' He's right. We go to the polls to choose a government and after that forfeit all responsibility.
We sit back wanting to be pampered and expect the government to do everything for us whilst our contribution is totally negative. We expect the government to clean up but we are not going to stop chucking garbage all over the place nor are we going to stop to pick up a stray piece of paper and throw it in the bin.
We expect the railways to provide clean bathrooms but we are not going to learn the proper use of bathrooms.
We want Indian Airlines and Air India to provide the best of food and toiletries but we are not going to stop pilfering at the least opportunity.
This applies even to the staff that is known not to pass on the service to the public. When it comes to burning social issues like those related to women, dowry, girl child and others, we make loud drawing room protestations and continue to do the reverse at home. Our excuse?
'It's the whole system which has to change, how will it matter if I alone forego my sons' rights to a dowry.' So who's going to change the system? What does a system consist of? Very conveniently for us it consists of our neighbor's, other households, other cities, other communities and the government. But definitely not me and YOU.
When it comes to us actually making a positive contribution to the system we lock ourselves along with our families into a safe cocoon and look into the distance at countries far away and wait for a Mr. Clean to come along & work miracles for us with a majestic sweep of his hand or we leave the country and run away. Like lazy cowards hounded by our fears we run to America to bask in their glory and praise their system. When New York becomes insecure we run to England. When England experiences unemployment, we take the next flight out to the Gulf. When the Gulf is war struck, we demand to be rescued and brought home by the Indian government. Everybody is out to abuse and rape the country. Nobody thinks of feeding the system. Our conscience is mortgaged to money.
Dear Indians, The article is highly thought inductive, calls for a great deal of introspection and pricks one's conscience too...I am echoing J. F. Kennedy 's words to his fellow Americans to relate to Indians.....
'ASK WHAT WE CAN DO FOR INDIA
AND DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO MAKE INDIA
WHAT AMERICA AND OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES ARE TODAY'

Like lazy cowards hounded by our fears we run to America to bask in their glory and praise their system. When New York becomes insecure we run to England. When England experiences unemployment, we take the next flight out to the Gulf. When the Gulf is war struck, we demand to be rescued and brought home by the Indian government. Everybody is out to abuse and rape the country. Nobody thinks of feeding the system. Our conscience is mortgaged to money.
Dear Indians, The article is highly thought inductive, calls for a great deal of introspection and pricks one's conscience too...I am echoing J. F. Kennedy 's words to his fellow Americans to relate to Indians.....
'ASK WHAT WE CAN DO FOR INDIA
AND DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO MAKE INDIA
WHAT AMERICA AND OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES ARE TODAY'
Jai Hind!!!!

Stop "Pseudo Secularism"
The amount of Pseudo Secularism now Practised in India by various parties are now becoming dangerous for peace & hormony of India. I found very nice comments from this unknown person on a Blog post.
I just want to share it with you.
The word appeasement is a wrong choice for what Congress and Samajwadi Party does. The right word to choose would be ‘hoodwink’.
Congress has been hoodwinking Muslims for the longest period and SP has been doing it now for 2 decades. Unfortunately, Muslims do tend to fall to these machinations out of the fear of BJP.
Kitapati:
It would be wrong to say that we can counter evil with bigger evil. If Gandhi taught us anything, it is that bravery exists in confronting your attacker and looking him in the eye without hitting him. Not cowing down, but to make him realize how foolish he is.
I know a lot of people think Gandhi’s teachings have no place in modern India, and I tend to agree with them on Gandhi’s economic policies. But, he was spot on in his choice of weapon in struggle. It suits the Indian temperament the best, that’s why he could summon Millions to raise up or quieten down, at his beck and call.
BJP need not always be bad. Under Vajpayee it atleast had some secular bearings. It’ll need to find that for it to be in contention for power in future. That’s very essential for India as its the only alternative we have to Congress.
RSS’s work as recently as with the Tsunami disaster was exemplary, so as an organization it does deserve to be supported – not banned as some suggest, even if one doesn’t agree with their ideology of nationhood.
But, the pariwar certainly need to understand that India will go Pakistan way, if we are to follow the muslim fanatiscism with Hindu fanaticism.
There simply must be a better way!

We are Resilient By Force, Not By Choice!
I am big fan of Shahrukh Khan but the way Shahrukh episode was portrait as Anti-Indian or Anti-muslim is completely wrong. The United States are not a tolerant democracy like us which we are so proud of. “Kick us, Kill us but we’ll talk and condemn only”. And why not? we get pat on our shoulder from our big daddies US, UK to be tolerant, patient and resistant no matter how much we suffer and get killed. The 26/11 incident again shows the commitment of India towards curbing terrorism. This time they become more fearless. They entered and killed us in broad day light and openly engaged with Indian forces. But every one applauded the spirit of Mumbai to overcome this situation. What the hell is this spirit??? This is not the F****** spirit. This is the common people who have to come out for work so that they can feed there children and family in the costliest place of the world. They always have the fear of this that one day they can also be part of it. And this thing is misunderstood by State and central government that Mumbai can overcome of any situation. The dialogue of the film “a Wednesday” was very true that “we are resilient by force, not by choice”.
You never heard of second attack or any terrorist engagement in America. This is because of strong majors like this. If they wouldn’t then America would have faced regular terrorist attacks like India faces every day and lost many brave Jawans (military officer) in Kashmir and rest part of India. If the same episode happened in India it would become a minority politics. We have been weakened by many ways. Every strong steps to curb nuisance and terrorism here becomes anti-minority and politician are very comfortable about it. Specially the so called pretentious secular parties like congress, RJD etc as they do not want loose there muslim vote bank. I was stunned to hear that Afzal Guru hang is termed as anti-muslim in J&K. What the hell is this and how a government can be so tolerant to the terrorist and put hold on this, fear of vote fall. This can only be done in India and that’s why we are suffering.
These superstar plays their minority card when something happens against there will. Take example of Imraan Hasmi flat buying case. No journalist wants to know why flat was rejected and all blame to society in charge. Just got the bite & flashed. There are many issues to be raised to uplift the society and poor people. But no, why are multi millionaire denied the Flat. That really hurts the media and people. Our media is in very pathetic situation. They use their freedom of expression to the ugly extent. Although I there are some moments media really helped people to get justice but majority of time media is very partial.
I believe nowhere in the world, minorities get such importance than in India. All superstars remember there minority status when they are in trouble. The superstars like Shabana Azmi, Javed Akhtar, Saif Ali Khan etc. didn’t hear them of doing any good for the minority rather than verbal comments and condemning India in many important issues.
Talking like this would have termed me as non-secular or anti-muslim but I am speaking the truth I felt. I am not anti-muslim or non-secular. But there should be proper and equal justice to all the people of India rather than hindu bashing and blaming & snatching every rights from Hindu to speak and support there rights and culture which termed as non secular thing.
If we want to be real seculars then stop playing minority cards and accept the fault and cooperate with the administration to stop terrorism and violence and make India a better place to live.
Pardon me if something is wrong, I just speaked out the truth.
