SAVE OUR TIGER

Are we doing enough? Our tigers are in danger. They are falling prey to poaching and man-tiger conflict. Inviolate spaces for tigers are shrinking. Villagers living near core and buffer areas of tiger reserves poison them in revenge for killing their cattle. The government agencies have failed miserably in relocating the reluctant villagers; as in the last 40 years they have been able to relocate only 105 villages out of 1700 in protected tiger reserves.

Now, Noida MMS Sex Scandal

A 23-year old MBA student of Noida is another victim of MMS sex scandal. She was filmed by her boyfriend when she was stripping off her clothes on music. Her boyfriend circulated the MMS because she refused to marry him. This is not the first case of that kind. It is happening in the country from the last few years. [...]

Police gagging media in Kanpur

Posted by Abhishek Pandey on 02:10:00 in


Police officials came down heavily on media persons for their extensive reporting on an eleven-year old school girl Divya, who was sodomised in a school premises and died of profuse bleeding from her private parts.


Investigation officer (IO) and Station Officer, Anil Kumar, has summoned over 21 journalists under section 160 of CrPC and have demanded proof of their media reports.


Not only that, police officials are allegedly making threatening calls in newspaper offices and warning reporters to not file stories on the issue or face consequences. Even, several vehicles meant for transporting newspapers were halted by the police officials and did not allow passing for so called flouting the norms.


The draconian act of police in absolving the culprits in rape cum murder case was exposed by the print and electronic news channels.


Police officials have arrested as many as four people in the case but have failed to prove who the real culprit is? Even, they could not conclusively prove that which is the place of crime? Police theory has numerous loopholes and Justice for Divya has become a people’s movement that is gathering momentum after leaders cuttinmg across party lines, social activists, students, youths have come forward for demanding the arrest of real culprit?


It is important to mention that police officials even did not spare the victim’s family members and resorted cane charge on them while they were staging silent protest in front of the school where the little girl died.


Does the right to speech and expression exist in real means in Kanpur?

Can police force the media persons to reveal its news sources, though even court gives them freedom for not telling their news source?

Media advocacy in several cases has brought justice for the victim’s family. Is this an attempt to put a stop on advocacy or missionary journalism?


Many more questions are being raised in media foray and these questions remain unanswered ......And, until these questions are answered. People of India could be hapless in seeing in near future cases like Priyadarshini Matoo, Jesica Lal, Nitish Katara, Nithari getting solved .....

Justice for DIVYA

Posted by Abhishek Pandey on 01:21:00 in ,


A nine-year old girl Divya Bhadauria was raped brutally inside a school premises in Kanpur. Divya died of profuse bleeding of around 4.5 litres blood from her private parts.


Words have to be censored harshly, if I choose to explain her sufferings and pain before her death.


It’s gory. It’s horrific. It’s unexplainable.


Her mother Sonu is still in utter shock and six year old younger sister Deeksha is waiting for Divya to come and play hide and seek with her, unaware of the fact that her sister is no more in this world.


I might have been completely driven by my intense emotions while covering the issue for HT. I might not report objectively. I might not be fair with the accused Piyush Verma or whosoever it is.


But, I am sure about one thing, a girl had been raped inhumanly and a mother has lost her nine-year old daughter. And, there is someone bloody out there who is responsible for all this mess. The girl deserves justice and the pervert deserved to be hanged till death.


But, police is insensitive and irresponsible for what reasons ? The insensitivity shown by police is sprinkling salt on the festering wounds of the deceased’s family. Police beaten up the guys, who took the girl to the hospital after school-maids literally threw the girl at her house after her condition deteriorated. Police also managed to implicate a middle-aged man for the crime and made him confess that he has committed the crime six days ago.


Autopsy reports, circumstantial evidences and statements of key people contradict police theory. The weak case will collapse in court of law. But, they hardly care. They are real dabang – fearless - in Mayawati’s fearless society.


Justice for Divya needs mobilisation of people, a people’s movement to ensure that no Divya becomes victim next door or inside your house in future.Its your movement. Come on, come out. In real world, in virtual world. Everywhere.

******

One more thing for parents, please do trust your children and take their complaints of any kind of sexual assault seriously, as more than 80 percent children in India are victims of sexual assault. And, the close relatives, teachers, uncles, neighbours are culprits in 60 percents of cases.

So, there is no good reason in not trusting your own kid.

At last, please do pray for the girl Divya so justice served without much delay.

CWG didn’t do everything wrong

Posted by Abhishek Pandey on 01:52:00 in ,

Don’t misinterpret me by the headline and start thinking that I want to go gaga about the unexpected and spectacular opening of CWG in Delhi.

Media, both print and electronic, has reported extensively on the issue explaining -crores of rupees were siphoned off during preparations. The construction of stadia was not qualitative. Black sheep were involved for carrying out construction work. Even, AR Rehman composed a sub-standard anthem.

and, Blah… blah…. blah......blah….

Media has over-stuffed the minds of the people with the information about CWG mess. Media had already put millions of question marks on India's capabilities of holding a grand event like this and made whole country ashamed off these wrong-doings.

I don’t want to depress our Indians friends further more with some more facts and figures about corruption in preparedness of CWG games.

I am sensing, CWG has changed something in the country. And, that is attitude towards ‘less important’ sports. This attitudinal change was brought in the psyche of people in 1984 also, when country organised Asiad successfully.

Common men are more interested in knowing who bagged medals from India in wrestling or shooting than getting information about Tendulkar’s performance in test match against Australia.

CWG fever has gripped India much fiercely than dengue, Chikangunia and other variants of viral fever.

This is a good sign of change in the country, where cricket is religion.

###

One thing more, Sports ministry must ponder over fewer turnouts of visitors inside stadia in CWG matches.

Government could think of providing concession on tickets to the school children in and around Delhi for watching CWG games. It will kill two birds from one stone:

First, Stadiums would be full to encourage players.

Second, Students would get the chance to see playing international players and they would be encouraged for playing unconventional sports.

Big Boss, Big Trouble

Posted by Abhishek Pandey on 01:58:00 in

What has gone wrong with our TV channels? They are showing almost everything without giving a thought. Don’t they have any social responsibility?

Big Boss-4 is the perfect example of the mad race of TV channels for increasing number of eyeballs glued to their channels on prime time. The show has been always in controversy over happenings inside the house in all its three seasons. Sometimes, guys inside the house abuse each other or girls run skin show in and around the pool.

It kicked off with dust storm of controversy today. The makers have gone one step further, this time. Dacoit, super-thieve, and persons allegedly shown in mms sex clips are being portrayed heroes and they are privileged to live in Big Boss’ house.

The show is aired on prime time and families watch the show with children. Don’t you think, our children could think of becoming a ‘super-thieve’ or could indulge in making sex mms clips for becoming famous all over.

What is the way-out? Come on the roads to protest or use the remote in our hands to switch the channels. That, I leave to intellectuals to decide. But why they, you decide your matters.

Tie knot not

Posted by Abhishek Pandey on 16:01:00 in
Abhishek Pandey

Spreading hatred has not benefited any but many institutions in our country do not seem to understand this. They are promoting it in the name of cultural traditions and cultural purity. The best example of present times is Khap which has wage a war against the people wants to spread love in the society.


It seems these panchayats are above the law, as Khap Panchayats can allow killing of the lovebirds, if any one dare to marry the partner of the same gotra. What is Gotra and why there is much hue and cry about it? Perhaps, many gen-Y Hindus may not be aware of. It looks like the Khap Pancayat has been given responsibility for its public relation and they have done their job well.


Now, the concept of gotra is very much clear in the minds of this present generation after the panchayats call for killing of many couples in the name of gotra followed by detailed media coverage.

Many opine, if the panchayats consider the marriages in same gotra immoral, they should also declare that any Indian would be punished if he or she marries an Indian by justifying their decision with the old cultural saying – All Indians are my brothers and sisters.


And, they can also call upon Sania Mirza from Dubai and must load her with lots of prizes for marrying a Pakistatni cricketer Shoaib Malik. They can also propose her name for the Bharat Ratna award.

They are planning to shut down Delhi on June 20, if the central government doesn’t agree to amend the Hindu Marriage Act. No one knows the government will succumb to that pressure or would nip them in the bud.


Political parties have not came forward against this faction of the society, as no one want to annoy the huge vote bank in Haryana, Rajasthan and western UP. Shamelessly, several ‘intellectual’ young leaders like Jatin Prasad have supported them with many senior leaders like Ajit Singh, Mahendra Singh Tikait and several others.


Rashtriya Swayam Sewak (RSS) has also called the issue a social issue and does not show any interest in commenting on the issue.


It is irony of the state. On one hand, the government is encouraging inter-caste marriages for promoting harmony in the society. On another, the loose canons of political parties, including congress party, are aggressively waging war against the lovebirds.


Khap panchayats are continuously giving decisions for social seclusion of the couples those have tied knot with the partner of same gotras. It is the high time that the government must crack the whip on these panchayats and the person responsible for causing death to any couple must be punished.


It seems, the time is not too far when such institutions, if allowed to flourish, would demand for the separate colleges, schools and hospitals in the country for members of different gotras, caste and communities.

Indian Profit League

Posted by Abhishek Pandey on 11:50:00 in

Indian Premiere League proved to be Indian Profit League but many don’t like its prosperity.

Lalit Modi, the person behind the idea of IPL and who turned the cricket into ‘Cricketainment, ’is in problem. The reason is simple; he dared to mess with a politician, ‘Union minister of state for external affairs’ Shashi Tharoor.

Though, the squabble backfired Tharoor who allegedly tried to help his girlfriend Sunanda Pushkar in the whole deal of IPL Kochi team. The probe is ordered, Tharoor has been fired and Sunanda Pushkar resigned from her role in the Kochi team.

The case has opened the Pandora box of the problems for many in Board for Cricket Control of India (BCCI). People including several politicians have started raising fingers over the involvement of hundred of crore rupees ‘black money’ in the IPL business.

Sport has become a business and so has politics. There is no difference between both the fields as there are great chances of earning huge money in both the genres.

No political party is exception in making their ‘persistent’ efforts to improve the condition of sports. Please don’t overlook, I mean cricket for sports here.

It is the tragedy of the nation that the politicians poke their nose in sports, apparently for their vested interests.

Though, all the sports are not great earner of the money and so you would not find many politicians in other sports. Say, Badminton or for that matter any other sports ranging from Kabbaddi, Kho-Kho, High jump, Long jump, wrestling and so on and so forth – not many politicians are interested in it.

Leaders like Sharad Pawar, Rajeev Shukla, Lalu Prasad Yadav, Arun Jaitely, Narendra Modi and several others are interested in alleviating the standard of cricket. It seems they damn care of improving standards of other sports. It is the love for cricket or lust for money, only god knows.

I believe, the politicians must keep themselves involved in the politics and they should leave sports for the sportspersons. Not only me, many believe in the country that the sportspersons would better take care of the sports.

Sex, Sleaze, Saffron and Sadhu

Posted by Abhishek Pandey on 11:06:00 in , ,

Abhishek Pandey


The connections of the god men and sex are not very new. India had Devdasis system prevalent in the olden times. With the changing times, the contours of relations keep changing between sex and Sadhus.


Nityanand and Bheemanand aka Ikshadhari has tainted the saffron colour. It was not the very first time the saffron has got stains. Baba Ram Raheem, Kripalu ji Maharaj, Asha Ram Bapu and several others self styled god man have been reportedly involved in the much hyped sex scandals. Though, the rule of law is still to decide on these matters and they continue to play their ‘dirty’ game with apparent impunity.


In recent incidents, a self styled Hindu god men, Bheemanand, was arrested for running a sex racket of more than 500 call girls from Delhi. Another god man Nityanand was found in compromising position with her disciple and Tamil actress Ranjitha. She also accepted that she was giving her service like others services as serving food and massaging him.


Not only that, there are more disgusting acts in which many self-styled gurus had been indulging in the act of molestation and rape with the girls as younger as seven year. In a recent case in Kanpur, a priest raped a seven-year-old girl and strangled her to death.


These impostors in the business of faith have also brain washed their followers and the disgusting example was when a Tantrik cum religious preacher suggested his devotee to rape his own daughter for bringing prosperity.

Which religious text suggests that you would attain prosperity if you rape your daughter? The answer is an obvious, NO. But, I really don’t understand why all the genuine saints and devotees clad in saffron are not coming forward to save the Sanatana Dharma from viciously assaulted by these thugs.


These thugs turned Gurus teach abstinence but exploit innocence. They preach, keep yourself away from earthly affairs like sex, as they don’t want competition for themselves. They say, why follow Moh-maya perhaps indicating leave all these for them. These imposters are hypocrites.


Though, Osho or Rajneesh tried to change everything in between and talked about every taboo ranging from sex, wealth to other earthly matters. He talked openly on all these issues and taught people that they must not refrain themselves as it does not come from their mind.


I think the saints; religious bodies must evolve a system in which a centralized body monitors everything ranging from the activities going in the religious places and transfer of funds there. The temples and religious institutions are one of the largest investments for many big industrialists in the country.


The body also issue them license to preach and flourish the business of faith and it could also prohibit the entry of imposters by regular monitoring by the ‘Dharmgurus’.


Though, it is easier to say than implement because the path has innumerable hurdles. Many don’t want complication in religion. Many have their own interest in the on going system.


Some say, Sanatana Dharma has many sects as no sect would accept authority. It has Arya Samaj, Brahma Samaj, Shavites, Vaishnavites and several others. The solution is that we could implement UN system on which the people from different sects are appointed periodically depending upon the number of people they represent.


There are hundreds other solution but some one has to come forward to take an initiative. But there is no light of hope visible in the tunnel. Perhaps, it is the high time in Kalyug and we need real Avatar not of James Cameron.

Right proposal from the Right wing

Posted by Abhishek Pandey on 10:01:00 in , ,
Abhishek Pandey

BJP wants to take the power ride. Ram temple issue is too old to win this ride. Party needs fresh ideas and newly appointed president of BJP understands this well. He has presented the ‘old wine in new bottle’ and this wine does not seem to be deleterious for nation’s health, as Hindus and Muslims, both, would find it yummy.


Since the inception of the Ayodhya issue, the right wing never tuned its tone as soft as national president of BJP, Gadkari did during recent national conclave at Indore. He said, BJP is committed to the cause of temple construction at Ayodhya. Nothing new in this idea but Gadkari went one step further.


He asked Muslims to be generous to not oppose the construction of grand temple at disputed site. Even, he allured them saying that the party would facilitate the construction of mosque beside the temple. The tone is new and has never been heard by anyone, at least from the saffron brigade.


I think, he is trying to find out the practical solution of the problem and the plot to erect BJP’s building. He mentioned that the litigations are pending in the court for the resolution of the dispute and the verdict would not serve the purpose because one party would win and other may lose.


The visionary Gadkari is also aiming to hit the two birds from a single stone. As his proposal would neither annoy the ‘moderate’ Hindus, those are looking for the resolution of the dispute, nor would it send a wrong message to the Muslims that injustice has been done to them.

I used the moderate world because the Vishva Hindu Parishad and Shiv Sena have already registered their protest. The supreme of these parties, Ashok Singhal and Bal Thackeray, have said that “Ram temple is religious issue not a political issue. BJP or for that matter any party must refrain from taking any decision of its own, as it would bring dishonor to the several Karsevaks who sacrificed their life for the cause of Hindus.


Why the hell they don’t understand that the days of decisive politics are gone and they are gonna get nothing from such politics. Except, killing or maiming some innocents and making the life of their loved one’s hellish.

He knows and also understands it well that the developmental politics is the future and the construction of temple would alleviate the stature of the BJP among the parties supporting Hindu cause.


Though. in his complete speech of 7993 words, he spoke only 103 words on temple issue, mere 1.3 percent of total speech, but all the media, print, electronic, web, blew its as it was the core of his speech. Whatever, media know well what sells. Gadkari also knows well what sells and he is selling what is in trend, as he is a businessman turned politician.


Even, his vision is politically correct also. I too share the view of Nitin Gadkari, “This initiative would herald a new amity and reinforce the bond for a resurgent India.”

Why SRK can’t be braver?

Posted by Abhishek Pandey on 00:29:00 in
Abhishek Pandey

SRK says he want Pak players for his IPL team. Shivsena says it wants SRK to apologise in public or go to Lahore for his ‘Pak love’. BJP and Muslim groups surprisingly come together against Sena’s politics. Rahul goes Mumbai and tells Sena, Mumbai belongs to everyone and it is not the legacy of Thakreys. Everyone is busy doing business for good or bad. None of them wants to bear the losses in the business and SRK is not an exception.

It is the business and it doesn’t know any principle. Even SRK accepted in one of the interviews, no one in the industry knows any principle on Thursdays and Fridays – the release day of the Bollywood flicks.

Shahrukh Khan has invited controversy for himself after commenting on inclusion of Pak players in his IPL team. But, he could not become braver any more because he is not a politician, he is a businessman. He can not take any stand strongly that affect his business – the commercial success of his movie.

His movie ‘My name is Khan’ is about to release and he would not like that his movie fell prey to any controversy failing his arduous efforts and losing his hard earned money that he put in making a ‘wonderful’ movie.

Neither he would apologise nor did he will take his words back because both the actions would affect his stardom in turn affecting his business. He needs not to do this though as being an Indian he has all the rights to speak out his mind as Sena and MNS has. SRK and Shivsena both have right of free speech, both have right to do their business.

But, the business started stinking and becomes unbearable when his daughter asks him whether they have to leave India for Lahore or any other place. It is just very sad, shameful, and unconstitutional and against the core values of the country. All the problems arise here.

Who has given the Sena, MNS right to spit venom against any one who does not belong to their cult? Who has given them right to throw any one out of Mumbai or the country? Who has suggested them to poke their nose in every issue they find beneficial for their politics? Who authorize them to beat north Indians for appearing in exams in Mumbai?

They are no one to be the voice of Mumbaikars as they dint come out when Mumbai was bleeding and needed help after 26/11 attack. MNS and Sena must reply why Mumbaikars allow them to play politics on their issues when they can’t stand for them in need.

Politics is good, so is business. Sena wanna make use of every moment in the times when MNS, congress, NCP are ready to fix the last nail in Sena’s coffin anytime. It is the fight of survival for Sena but these kinds of strategies in ‘business’ would fail its all efforts. It is wiser for Sena not to create any problem over SRK comments because it can backfire fiercely. Even, SRK would not like to prolong the spate because its better to become coward sometime for good.
