H1N1 and India
H1N1 or swine flu is spreading around the world in am alarming manner.This virus is something that seen in pigs and now its spreading to human beings also..but in an alarming dangerous manner.The wikipedia tells that "In the 2009 flu pandemic, the virus isolated from patients in the United States was found to be made up of genetic elements from four different flu viruses – North American Mexican influenza, North American avian influenza, human influenza, and swine influenza virus typically found in Asia and Europe – "an unusually mongrelised mix of genetic sequences." This new strain appears to be a result of re assortment of human influenza and swine influenza viruses, in all four different strains of subtype H1N1.
Preliminary genetic characterization found that the hemagglutinin (HA) gene was similar to that of swine flu viruses present in U.S. pigs since 1999, but the neuraminidase (NA) and matrix protein (M) genes resembled versions present in European swine flu isolates. The six genes from American swine flu are themselves mixtures of swine flu, bird flu, and human flu viruses.While viruses with this genetic makeup had not previously been found to be circulating in humans or pigs, there is no formal national surveillance system to determine what viruses are circulating in pigs in the U.S.
On June 11, 2009, the WHO declared an H1N1 pandemic, moving the alert level to phase 6, marking the first global pandemic since the 1968 Hong Kong flu.
Ok..I know most of us knows something bout these virus and steps to prevent them.eh???
My post here is to make some statements on how India reacted to this disaster?The Ministry of Health tried to reduce the fear of this disease at first.But later,soon after the first death announced in Pune due to H1N1,the people started fearing the disease.Even common fever or cold started to be considered as H1N1 and sometimes it resulted in death of some people as these fevers lead to pneumonia and all other diseases.A normal healthy man can be saved from the disease ,if he maintains the prescribed by the doctors against H1N1.
Normally,the causalities are children and old aged people as they lacks self defense mechanism against diseases.Many causalities are announced in the major It hubs of India like Mumbai,Pune,Bengalluru,Chennai etc.The climatic conditions and all leads to the increase of the number of patients.Also,there is chance of spreading of diseases as loads of people lives in these places.And as there are International Airports there,there is chance of spreading of viruses from foreigners.Now its our payback time.We should also start checking the foreigners like they are checking the people from Asian countries,suspecting them as terrorists
:)
Hey,this disease is also powerful than normal bombings and other stuffs of terrorists.As bombings affects a particular place,this disease spreads in no time to all over.So the officials should be aware and cautious enough to stop spreading this disease.
A magic from a minnow
I was about to write a post on another topic and then i changed my mind and started writing about a wonder that occurred today.An unknown player from Zimbabwe equalled Saeed Anwar's world record of 194 runs v/s India in ODI's.The most important thing is that he got to the top of the highest individual scores in ODI's as he was not out i this match.Though Zimbabwe lost the match to Bangladesh who chased the target with the help of Tameem's 154,this score will be there in the record books for a long time.
The most important thing is that this score came from a team that lost its test status due to it's poor performance in International cricket due to racism and all.Zimbabwe in the last decade was blessed with players like Alistair Campbell,Flower brothers,Johnson (He was a sensation at that time as he opened batting and bowling ),Goodwin etc.But cricket came in between the civil activities that took place there and that country was affected in a miserable way.
Zimbabwe was dark horse in many international cricket tournaments before and they made the exit of Indian team easily in 99 world cup and even defeated Australia in the inaugural T20 world cup.They had victories against many International teams in the last decade.But cricket didn't develop much there.
Charles Coventry is the name of the player who surpassed Anwar as the highest individual scorer in a single ODI match.Before this match,he played 14 matches and scored 301 at an average of 21.5.But look at his statics in batting after this match.Now his total runs is 495 with an average of 38.Even though he is not a great player like Sachin,Jayasurya,Kirsten and all who topped the list,he would remember this match for his life long.Bangladesh is now a better side now under the captaincies of Shakeeb and Mortaza.So none can consider this score of 194* as useless.Coventry,you are now in record books.Coventry,26 is the wicket keeper of Zimbabwe.Though record books don't tell the class of a player (eg.Sunil Gavaskar,as he scored just a century in ODI's)its a boost for Zimbabwe cricket team.They have players having some class now.Minnows like them have to do just better to make cricket really exciting.Otherwise,matches against them by the super teams will become bore and will become a place for the testing of the bench of top teams.
Anyway,as a mad fan of cricket,i really congrats Charles Coventry in sensational score.I was waiting for him to score 200.But he didn't get much strike to reach the score.Congrats Coventry

SRK detained in US Airport- A Matter of controversy???
Well,yesterday our medias are of flooded up the with the incident that happened to SRK in US.The high Indian officials tried to save him out of the problem.SRK later told e he had been held for two hours at Newark Liberty International Airport after his name appeared on a security alert.He also added that it was doe to his name "KHAN" that made him to be detained.Then the medias got a lottery and started celebrating the incident with expert opinions in their "news hours" and all.So this incident became much controversy in India.
Some days ago,our former president Dr.APJ was also under such a problem.Likewise,the Malyalam megastar Mammootty also faced the same situation in U S due to his name of a Muslim.The medias and government high officials started making comments on these incidents as unlucky and all.
Well.its one side of the incident.SRK told that he was detained due to his name "Khan".Hey,you are a superstar in Indian hearts only.Not for the US citizens,though some where there.It is the regular security check in that country.Every country is not like India.They are having strict measures against terrorism and they are following those measures.Most probably,every one is equal before the law outside India.This is not India to give you excuses as that happening in here.The incident on Dr.APJ was really bad,though the officers did their duty.It was an embarrassing incident for us Indians only.India is a country which is not ready to give the prescribed punishment for the one's who attacked the Parliament.Afsal Guru and party are still enjoying the loop holes of Indian law and India is continuously failing to give sufficient punishments to the culprits.
Terrorism is an evil in all the major countries all over the world.But the sad thing is that it is often connected by people of a particular religion.But,the jihad and all by the terrorist groups made the officials of major countries to consider them suspects of terrorism.What is there to be checked when our hands are pure?As a global citizen ,all the VIP's should be ready to face such inspections.But they have to be treated well during these times.Many passengers are checked likewise in many countries and it's a routine procedure .But the media catches them all when it happens to celebrities.
Hey don't the common man have such sentiments for being checked like a terrorist.It's the duty of a country from which a person is coming to check his details.When such things fails,the officials in other countries have to go with these actions.So our medias should be some more matured in highlighting these things.Otherwise,these silly things will make common man confused about these type of security checking..
Gossip:-read in some site that this is a gimmick of SRK as his next movie "My name is Khan" is based on such problems as the Muslims gets suspected to be terrorists.Only God knows!!!!

Yet another Independence day!!!!Thoughts?????
My dear Indians,we are again going to celebrate the birthday of our country.Though having a great heritage and cultural practices over the periods,our country got freedom from British on a night in August 15.We are celebrating this occasion with much importance...even in government offices.Huge parades of the sections of Army with a special guest from another country makes it a real colourful one.It's time which makes the citizens of India proud to be born in such a country having great heritage and customs and cultures which acted as a standard to the people in other countries.The largest democratic country,a country of auspicious scenic beauty,a country which was the birth place of many greats who contributed to world by their great inborn skills.We have everything..from the word go.....
We have the IIT's giving birth to the great engineers in the world,great institutions that makes the tomorrow's frontiers and all.But have you ever felt that you lacks something??
Yes,we do.....
Even though we have such huge buildings in our metroes such as Mumbai,Delhi,Bangalore etc..we still have our countrymen in poverty.The slums of Mumbai and some other metroes gives a vivid account of all these.The caste and religious reservations,the hell of things creates inequality in our country.These reservations were made for the poorer sections of our country during its birth time.It was right at that time,as our country was infected seriously due to the caste systems that were here..So those reservations are made for the emerging of the lower sections of people.
As a result,many people got the fruit of it and as a result,the caste system which parted the lower castes from upper castes came to an end...though not fully,but to an extend.But as a result most of the upper caste people lost their properties and there happened to have loss of job among them due to these reservations to make matters worse.Most of the huge bungalows of the feudal became cattle sheds..In many states communist parties fought against the feudal lords which resulted in many killings.There was a transformation of the communists called as Naxals and they were more aggressive in nature.Years passed,the inequalities were reduced,though not fully.
This is were the real problem originates.Many people who were considered as SC/ST's got the fruits of the reservations and they all became a strong part of the society.Later those gospel stuffs came and most of them worked well for the uplift of people from low classes and even started schools and hospitals in remote villages.But at some point of time,they lose their way and started converting people from Muslims,Hindus,Christians and all.So the people in these religions which enjoyed the luxuries of reservation got rich and got higher education and all from the best of Universities and became rich.At the same time,they enjoyed the benefits of reservation.I am not criticising about the conversion of people.But what I am going to tell is that,in the present scenario,there is no need of caste/religious reservations as they don't have anything to do with the society.Even the communists,who revolted for the uplift of lower classes lost their way and now they are like some organisations with high capital and the comrades are all now rich.
So,it's better ,if wants to give reservations,give it on the basis of income one family has ,then for the disabled,keeping along with the reservations the family of a military staff enjoys.There are no lower-upper class discrimination in our country right now.There is only rich-poor classification that exists.There are Brahmins and other general classes in the poor class and those with reservations in the richer class.So the policy of reservations in government institutions and for government jobs should be taken out.And those stuffs should be given according to sheer merit only.Otherwise,the rich will be richer and the poor will be poorer than ever.
The next thing is with terrorism.Terrorism is spreading like an incurable cancer in the soil of India.Hey brother,we are all Indians.Then why should we work for our enemies and betraying our country.As every guilty person has to say,they also might tell that the circumstances like no job ,poor family conditions etc motivated them to be a terrorist.Hey,do you ever think that your conditions will change going into such illegal activities??NO.One might get some money for doing such illegal activities.But what if caught??Will your sister get a good proposal?Will your students get a good education?Will your parents have status in front of the society?No.Everyone will consider such a person as "Gaddar".Will you ever get peace of mind and will you be able to escape from your inner self?No.So my brother,please don't betray our country.
Another thing is the source for illegal money transactions taking place in India.Many people tends to hide out their money without paying taxes and most often,they are used as a capital in illegal activities.bribery is also carving out our nation.No government office is free of bribery.
Oh! God..It's so hard to live in our country with all these problems.But we still love our country (even though many of us goes to other countries to earn).Yes the system in India is all out-dated.The government and political parties should be professional and should work for the uplift of our country.But at first,the citizens should do their duties rather than to enjoy rights as we studied in some lower classes in civics and all.Then our country will one day become a place in which men from other countries come to earn a living.
SO JAI HIND...AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY INDIA!!!!

Puthiya Mugham-A new trend setter???
Last Sunday...I happened to go to Trivandrum to meet my friends over there.I reached there by 11 am and one of my friend Chops went for the movie 'Puthiya Mugham".Though I wasn't in a mood to watch a Prithvi movie,I went along with Chingu,another friend for the movie Puthiya Mugham.Personally,I don't like the movies of Prithvi as one feels that he is not having talents of a born-actor.Also,one comes to a conclusion that he is trying to imitate the Big M's in most of his movies.
The introduction song was over when we went in.The theatre was crowded and we had to be in the first class and had occupied one of the front row seats.Chingu saw the film before.As he is mad about the movies,this is not a special thing for him,watching movies a dozen times.But I am always reluctant to watch a Malayalam movie in theatres,except some like..@ Harihar Nagar and all due to their publicity and expectations.Moreover our Mallu hit movies most often paints the same colour.A tharavadu,a small pond,gang of friends of Hero who all looks like pigs,twisting moustaches and walking in slow motion after defeating the so called villains and punch dialogues.These things always acts as a flavour for the fans of the big M's.So most of the people are irritated with the movies of same wave length.
Ok..let's back to our point.Puhiya Mugham can be called as Mallu movie taken using gimmicks of Tamil movies.Though many scenes resembles of previous hits in Tamil like Ghajini,Run,Anniyan and all,it was a movie for youngsters.One may or may not like the film.All according to one's mind set.There were lots of claps for the film..during Prithvi's entry,Bala's scenes and even during fights,Though the film appeared to be logic less(scenes like beating the policemen in Police station ) and all.So it can't be considered as a valuable piece of art or so.
But it showed the other directors that the youngsters in Kerala are not aged much just to watch the so called family movies and some comedy craps of Dileep and Jayaram.Actor's like Prithvi should now stick up to the roles that suits his age,rather than become the father of a 3 year old girl(Vellinakshatram) or so.He is an actor in his mid 20's and he have some roles that he could do himself.The action scenes were really good and the stunt men in that deserves real appreciation along aith the stunt master.
The music by Deepak Dev was mind blowing ,especially with the song "Picha Vacha Naal" and also the song by Prithvi himself "Kaane Kaane"..it also showed the real spirit of this movie.Then the new director Diphan who was an associate ti Shaji Kailas showed that he is having talent within him.The dance scenes were average..anyway much better than that in the movies of Big M's and all.The story line is that a guy from an Ayengar family in Palakad comes to an engineering college in Ernakulam and the challenges he faced there and the conversion of Prithvi into an action hero.The first half was ok.But if you are a fan of action movies (not Hollywood) you will like the action scenes as Prithvi excelled in that,Also that his physique is excellent to do such movies.
In all,after getting out of the theatre,I am happy to see a film for youngsters in Malayalam.This movie don't have any class or a sharp story line.But this film is worth watching if you are ready to tale out your brains onto your hands for two and a half hours.I heard that Prithvi now have Superstar status.Though some of his movies in which he played the central character were hits,but their credits were all gone to others.Considering this,this is the first Superhit/hit of Prithvi which goes into his credit.He cannot be called as a superstar with this movie.Because,he lacks flexibility in acting such as doing senti scenes and humor.Rather than that he is having some good features of a good artist.So it's only time to call him a 'Next generation superstar" and not a superstar positions which the Big M's holds...
I rate the movie as 6/10
Direction and other ingredients 6.5/10 and for Prithvi for hhis screen presence as 7/10.....
verdict:-This movie is only for the one's who don't consider the stuffs in the movie as real life.If you are going to spend some time in a theatre,watch this movie and please don't hawl at the heroes.They are having gutts to be in front of camera,while most of us lacks it.

Shame to Indian Army
With due respect to all Malayalees,I was forced to make this as my post in my blog..Mohanlal or Lalettan as his die hard fans call him getting the rank as Lt.Colonel in Territorial Army..The regional Malayalam newspapers celebrated this incident.He got this high rank as he worked as an ambassador to make the people aware of the importance and struggles of Indian Army...
May I ask you a simple question?Are you all not aware that being a military man is a risky job???
Hmmm...my simple question is..was he really eligible to be in this position?With due respect to Lal..he is a good actor ,may be the best actor in his trademark roles such as comedian or a family man or to do with some supernatural roles,though most of his present roles remember us of third grade Telugu films.
Let it be there.As the grades in Indian Army suggests,Lt.Colonel is a rank above Major and its insignia is Gold national emblem over one gold star.His acting in two movies (Keertichakra and Kurukshetra directed by Major Ravi) made him to be awarded with this rank.This stuff is a real demoralising to Indian Army.An actor getting this award without any efforts.Today in Malayala Manorama (A regional newspaper from Kerala) an application to apply for this post.So it is very clear that any person who holds a degree with a profession,may be a government or public staff or a businessman could be able to apply for the post.So this is not a high award.But in my opinion,Lal is not eligible to be granted with this award.Even I doubts whether he is having enough time to get into the training sessions as prescribed in the application forum.But his fans celebrated the day.
Then I remember a small joke seen in forwarded mails I got.If Lal gets Lt.Colonel rank for his acting,then Mammootty(CBI series) should be granted with the post of a CBI officer,Suresh Gopi for his Police roles should be at least a Commissioner of Police,and T G Ravi should be punished for raping ladies in his villain roles...Yes,it's true..Is there anything great which Lal did for his country??While shooting for Kurukshetra,he was protected by our own soldier brothers and for acting as Major Mahadevan,he got his money for acting.
Every single soldier had to face lots of hardships to save their nation from intruders.But did Lal had done anything like that for his counter??Unless he fights for the nation,this honouring is a real cramp.Politicians,actors and artists often gets awarded with Hy.Doctorate from Universities for their excellence in their respective fields.Even the integrity of such things are under scrutiny,Lal is being awarded with this rank.
If the government has any such idea..give it to Suneil Shetty or Vijayakanth M L A (Captain as he often called).As they did more films than him as a military man or to the whole actors of Border or LoC.But this rank is a real shameful thing to the whole Indian Army.Lal being a businessman outside India,in places like Dubai and a highly paid Malayalam actor,what did he done to the country??
These questions often comes in the minds of Indians.Kapil Dev is a Legend as he obtained the first World Cup for India.So he was awarded.BUt with Lal,do he have the real qualification to be awarded so??This will drain down theself - confidence of Indian Soldiers as a person like getting this rank.Is this a child -game to be honoured with such a high rank??This might create a reverse attitude in Indian soldiers who are toiling hard for the protection of their country.They are working hard forgetting their lives and being honoured after their death.
Looking at the physical stature of Lal,he is really unfit even to do the role of a soldier in a movie with his big bad belly and short size.Where in the world would we see a Colonel with such a big belly(before retirement)???You can not find such a person.Most of his die hard fans loves him without any senses.So they are celebrating this event>Hey fans,be an Indian first and then celebrate this.I was irritated with the thing that most of the regional TV channels celebrating this as a historical event.Hey,believe me..many actors performed better than this as Army men in many films.So there is nothing to enjoy rather than being shame on you LAL fans.Lal fans thing that there is just drought after him.
AK Antony presented him with this rank.AKA is the defence minister of India.I didn't expect him to behave like this.It is not fair awarding actors,politicians etc. with doctorates or Army ranks.This is a real shame to the nation.So as an Indian one should protest against it..Otherwise,our Army men would be fed up of this ugly system and a day is not far away from us losing to our enemy countries.
A Gossip:-Heard some people telling that it was Major Ravi's cheap publicity stunt that helped Lal bag this rank...Only God knows the truth.....

The Indian Tragedy-2009 World Cup..DHONI-THE REASON????
Cricket can be called as India;s national game,rather than hockey..Indian's are known to be the biggest fans of cricket and even worships their cricket stars...In this post am not going to do a postmortem regarding India's earlier exit in this world cup.But something to the one's who just blames MSD in this affair..It's a captain's failure not to won a cup,even it is world cup or any other cup.
But being blamed only for the failures is not a good culture.I have seen some blogs blaming MSD for the failures.Hey mads....Indian cricket never dominated the world cricket right from the start except some wins which we Indian's consider as the greatest...MSD was able 2 win a World Cup for India,which even Dravid,Sachin or Ganguly couldn't.
The world recognised his talent and was named as the captain of many world teams this year.So MSD can't be judged as a bad captain.Failures are there in life.I saw some people balming him that he got this glory due to sheer luck..Hey man..please watch the second test in NZ in which Indians were closing to a defeat in his absence.Veeru was the captain that time.At that time,many praised MSD.
It's not luck that makes MSD successful..but his decisions at times..It may sometimes bring success and sometimes bring failures like the one we saw in the match against England in which Jadeja was made to come early.If that happened to be a success,many would say that it was his luck that favoured.Anyways Indians including me are like this,just to blame others if one appears to have success...
Some have the opinion that seniors played a role in his victories.Hey man ..these seniors played under many great captains and played many good knocks.But wasn't able to make that knocks into dream like victories against NZ , Aus etc.
I accept that India didn't play to their potential in this world cup.But the world wouldn't even with a single failure.India still has a chance to be right at the top of the world.But our boys have to fight hard.That's all what is needed.India under MSD could crate wonders in the future.
They are the only one's capable in India to do the same winning wonders.So as a cricket fan,I couldn't blame Dhoni only to be reason for the failure..... JAI HO!!!!!! INDIA

HiNdUtVa-an outdated word?????
In the last Parliament elections,we heard a lot about the term Hindutva,as Bharatha Janatha Party (BJP) proposed Hindutva as their main agenda in their election campaigns.The term even caught the eye of media and people and even the elections as their agenda was widely rejected by the people of India,making their conditions even worse after elections and the internal conflicts in their party came out to the public.
Most of the people considered Hindutva as something to do with the religion Hinduism and many of the followers of the other religions rejected the dogma.
Actually many people don't have an idea of what Hindutva actually means??
Let's take a peep into this subject...
The term Hindutva was actually coined by Veer Sawarkar n the early days of 19th century.At that time,he took the chance to describe Hidutva as a feeling to express one's loyalty to Mother Nation India.The one's who consider India as their Motherland ,Fatherland and Holyand can be considered as a follower of Hindutva,even if he is a HIndu,Muslim,Sikh,BUddhist or a Parsi.Though there are similarities between Hindutva and Hinduism,both are not the same.Actually,both of these dogmas don't have any central force to guide like priests or nabi's...They became a culture in its passage and flourished in the heart's of millions..
Hinduism is a culture and the culture marks the style of living of people of India.Unlike the Western culture,it offers a traditional way of living,making it tough to observe if one is moving away from the essence of this culture.It is a culture that took the essence of other cultures and develop itself into a form with loads of followers.It was due to this characteristic that the foreigners were widely accepted in our country,as this culture teaches us to welcome all.
Even though Hinduism have many religious books,unlike Islam or Christianity or any religion ,it do not take any particular book as the Holy book.These books actually teaches us how to live a life to attain the ultimate Moksha.
The Hindutva too preaches us the same principles.This culture gave equal status for all religions.No matter whether one is from the religion of Hinduism,Islam,Christianity or any other.The followers can be called as the follower of Hindutva or a Hindu.There were intrusions into this culture at times,during the reign of Muslim Emperors and invasion from West.But this culture was able to maintain its principles and made most of those rulers to follow it like the greats of Akbar,the BAADSHAH.So it gained a wide interest in the life of people of many countries.The followers spread this culture by following a moral way of living,taking into consideration to revive the minds of people all over the world.
LOKASAMASTHA SUKHINO BHAVANTHU is what it preaches.
In the modern history of India,the term gained importance when parties like BJP,VHP(Vishva HIndu Parishad),RSS,Bajrang Dal,Sriram Sena which takes extremists stand with the term Hindutva.The sense bursted out with the demolition of Baber-e-Masjid in Ayodhya,where it is believed to be built destroying the Ram temple bby the Muslim rulers in the early years.The ones called KARSEVAKS demolished the mosque which lead to loads of riots in many parts of India.But this extremist movement made the followers of hHIndu religion to rise to the occassion thinking that BJP was the ultimate saviour for them to maintain the lives of Hindus as a lot of homicidal activities were happening in various parts of Kashmir Valley,which made Kashmiri Pundits to run away from heir place.
This feeling of secureness made BJP to be an undisputed political power in India.The elections reflected this in areas where Hindus felt unsecure about their life and this made BJP to rule the nation and AB Vajpayee to lead a government to complete its period without Congress support.
BJP and its cultural sects even demanded for a Uniform Civil Code (USC) to the citizens.USC means to have a common law for the whole people of India.BUt the others,mainly Muslims rejected this proposal as it would bring an end to many of their rituals like TALAQ in which a woman would be divorced by saying Talaq 3 times.These all created wide tensions all over India.Moreover ,the conversion of people by Christian sects made them more angry.So this also created more tensions.Money from West heavily invested in these activities.So the tension became worse.
But when BJP came to power,they showed only a mild dose of Hindutva .In the elections,they promised the buiilding of Ram Temple in Ayodhya
But they failed to do it.This made the extremists more angry.At that time even L K Advani showed some tolerance to Jinnah.It also created tensions among the followers.
These all resulted in 2004 elections and BJP was made to sit in the opposition.BUt before getting out of the power,they were able to show the world that India has the ability to become a super power.The Congress Government which followed thereafter was ale to live upto the expectations of people of India,taking the development activities which BJP had started.
This reflected in 2009 elections.People voted for the development agenda of Congress than the Hindutva.so BJP lost in the polls.But it can't be considered as a huge defeat,even the numbers say so.Because.the modern world always votes for development.But the security system in India was affected at the time of Congress ruling in the means of serial blasts and 26/11 incidents in Mumbai.
The controversial remarks of Varun Gandhi also made the people of other religions to defeat BJP,though he won in Peelibeth by a huge margin.Narendra Mdiji,another pioneer of Hindutva was able to escape due to the development agendas he followed in Gujarat ,sinking Hindutva into its developments.
So these all shows that,now the people wants more development.So the ruling of a country should not be done by giving intolerance to other people following various religions.But,by an agenda which gives security to the people of India for their property and lives to all sects of people.BJP failed to convince it to the people.Mainly,internal upsets ruined them.
So its time now for BJP ,not only to rely on Hindutva agenda but providing the people some faith in the party leaving all internal conflicts.Otherwise,the people would ignore them seriously.
So in all,Hindutva is a way of living which enlightened the world rather than intolerance to other religions..Hindutva should be implied by all parties for the bright future of India,showing examples to the world taking its own cultural aspects.In all,Hindutva is not a religion:its a culture...
LOKA SAMASTHA SUKHINO BHAVANTHU......................

THe RAcist WOrld!!!!
For the last few days we were watching in all the media about the racist attacks occurred in Australia against the Indian students..A variety of brutal,uncivilised practices occurred there..But most of us were not excited especially the Indians, as most of them knows the Aussies players in cricket who are famous for their sledging activities...These problems occur when a group of people don't have a better culture..especially a place like Australia inhibited by the ran away British men.
These sorts of l racist ways occurs in India also...But Indians actually won't hear to such things and supports them...But yet problems are in India...Think ,a guy happens to be white and his friend appears to be dark toned,then its sure that once or while he had a chance of being teased for the dark guys skin tone.Think..how this thing affects the dark toned one?
But the people of the West,considers the so called "WHITE PEOPLE" in India also as black.Actually in India ,the people have a tendency to consider light toned persons as some one with high qualities even if he doesn't deserve to be.And also a dark toned one as useless even he is bright by his brain..In India actually brains don't count..only the skin tone of a person.It is visible in elections also in which the fair looking person getting more votes so as with the actors..even if they are dark toned,their posters appears to be light toned.
So this is a phenomenon occurring not only in the West,but also in Third World countries..Actually I am not supporting the racists attacks in Australia.The thing is that apart from Hitler's Aryan supremacy policy which prevailed before,there still exists some modern HITLERS.
Indian student community accounts for about 95,000 in Australia,which is second only to China.Last year Australian government got bulk of share of revenue from Indian students which is approximately 15.5 billion $.Even though the PM of Australia Kevin Rudd condemns such activities of racism,the cruel activities continued against Indians.
The incidents caught the eye of Indian media after Indian students from India stabbed with screwdrivers on May 9.One of the students Shravan Kumar became coma stage and doctors are still trying to save his life.
There were a number of attacks to follow commonly known by the term "Curry Bashing",in which Indian students were attacked.There may be number of reasons for this attack.But the Australian media tried to support their people and hates them to be called as racists.But do u remember this incident in which our Bhajji was accused of making racists remarks against Symonds??And at that time how Indian media responded??They were all against Bhajji and later when there were evidences that he called him as "Maa KI" and not "Monkey' and he was sent court free...
While I am writing this post,I heard another case of an Indian student treated badly by the Ozzie Dracula.The FISA(Federation of Indian Students in Australia) came with huge protests against these attacks holding the boards such as "Education or hospitalisation" and all.I happened to see them in CNN-IBN...It's a real shameful thing in this modern world where the boundaries are shattered by technology and other stuffs.
The Indian government should take necessary measures to stop these types of cruel activities in co-operation with that of Australia.If these actions still continues,they should have a little guts to call stop relations with Australia as now doing with Pakistan.
These youngsters are going abroad to get high education standards which our country lacks in UG level and all.So the Government of India should keep this in mind and try to start a new re-evaluated educational system to cope up with the modern day's standards....Or else.....we would be in the back stand again as that happened after the Parliament attack and Mumbai attacks....a real hell of a thing which would cause the pride of Indians badly.....
