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. [...]

Pyaar Ka Punchnama

Love is about sacrifice. Is it? I have seen in the Bollywood movies of the late 60s and 70s actors profess that love is all about giving and not gaining. Their dialogues are only appropriate for reel life and not practical in real life[...]

Share your thoughts, in short

Micro-blogging is all about posting small digital contents—text, pictures, video and links—on the Internet. In short, it is a combination of blogging and instant messaging. Micro-blogging websites allow users to share a message of 140 or less character, a video of 12 seconds or less duration, short links or individual images with online followers[...]

Express your love, but is it that simple?

No. It’s not. The three-word expression I Love You is perhaps the most difficult one to express. People may be headstrong but go weak at the knees when it comes to proposing to someone special. For one and all, the expression of love requires perfect timing, ideal setting and right approach[...]

Fire in the land of snow and peace

While reading Seminar, I learned that 104 Tibetans have self-immolated since 2009 to protest against Chinese oppression and demand free Tibet. I was aware that people are immolating themselves for a free Tibet but the numbers shocked me. This is one of the most horrendous figures of human civilization! It is weird because it is happening in 21st century and no one notices it. And those who notice ignore it as if nothing major happened.
People have taken another route to protest when other methods failed. When Tibetans protested on roads; they were killed and dumped by the People Liberation Army of China. They did not leave any trace of what happened.    
Where are the United Nations and Human Rights Councils? To my understanding, they are quiet because the big brother (the USA) and European countries are not interested in taking any action because they have business interest in China. 
Why media is not talking about it? Why any Arnab Goswami is not asking ‘nation needs an answer?’ No one, not even journalists, are allowed to enter in Tibet. A couple of CNN and BBC journalists were not allowed to enter Tibet and threatened that if they insist their visas will be cancelled.
Do we lack journalists who can dare and do a sting in Tibet? It is not true. Journalists have reported from troubled areas such as Taliban where the situation was as hostile as it is in Tibet today. It is perhaps media houses are not interested in reporting Tibet issue because it does not make some great news for front pages of newspapers or for prime time on TV.
  
Why is India that has given shelter to the Tibetan ‘parliament-in-exile’ keeping quiet? Indian silence is obvious. Indian government has failed miserably in their foreign policy. It did not act aggressively when Chinese army intruded and setup their camps 19-kilometre inside Indian Territory. So how can they raise voice against the oppression of Tibetans? 
Would India have reacted the same way when human rights of Tamilians were violated in Sri Lanka? No. They told the Sri Lankan premiere to ensure Tamilians are safe and even took up issue on International platforms. India has not done so in the case of Tibet. However, it will face maximum problems by Chinese spoiling Tibetan ecosystem. 
In the times when people resort to violence to demand anything Tibetans sticking to non-violence methods is admirable. If they fail to make a mark, it will be a failure of the principle of non-violence. It is bad sign for a civilized society. Think.
