Fuuny Bones



Mard Honi Chahiye, Khatoon Hona Chahiye,
Ab Grammer Ka Yehi Kanoon Hona Chahiye,

Nursery Ka Daakhla Bhi Ab Sar’sari Mat Janiye,
Aap Ke Bache Ko Aflaatoon Hona Chahiye,

Raat Ko Bache Parhayi Ki Aziyat Se Bache,
In Ko TV Ka Bohat Mamnoon Hona Chahiye,

Doston English Zaroori Hai Hamare Wastey,
Fail Honey Ko Bhi Koi Mazmoon Hona Chahiye,

Sirf Mehnat Kya Hai Anwar Kamyaabi Ke Liye,
Koi Ooper Se Bhi Telephone Hona Chahiye..

Mera dil teri hi mohabbat ke liye hai,
Magar yeh offer mehdood muddat ke liye hai..



Hum ishq may bhi kamaal karthay hai 
I Love you Likh jar Send to all karthe hai



Kal jab milay thay to dil me hua eik sound,
Or aaj milay to kehte ho your file not found,

Jo muddat se hota aaya hai wo repeat kar dunga,
Tu na mili to apni zindagi ctrl+alt+delete kar dunga,

Shayad mere pyar ko taste karna bhool gaye,
Dil se aisa cut kia ke paste karna bhool gaye,

Lakhon honge nigah me, kabhi mjhe bhi pick karo,
Mere pyar ke icon pe kabhi to double click karo..



Hai aap ke honton pe jo muskaan wagera,
Qurbaan gaye is pe dil-o-jaan wagera,

Billi to yunhi muft main badnaam huyi,
Thailay mein to kuch aur tha samaan wagera,

Be’hirss o gharzz farzz adaa ki jiye apna,
Jis tarah police karti hai chalaan wagera,

Ab hosh nahin koi ke badaam kahan hai,
Ab apni hatheli pe hain dandaan* wagera,

Har shirt ki bushratt bana dali hai Anwar,
Yun chaak kiya hum ne garebaan* wagera..

Dhoka mila jab pyar main,
Zindagi mein udaasi chaa gayi,

Socha tha chorr dain is raah ko,
Kambhakht mohalley mein dusri agayi..




Meray dil mai dhoom jis larki ne mcha “rakhi” hai
Naam us shokh Haseena ka “Allah-rakhi” hai

Main “Allah-rakha” hoon, Wo “Allah-rakhi” hai
Shayad Allah ny wo mere liye hi bana “rakhi” hai

Kehtay hain k “rakhi”hui cheez hi kaam aati hai
Is liye mene”rakhi” se laga”rakhi” hai

Ab Haqiqat to ye batany k liye “rakhi” hai

Ye kya tumne “rakhi rakhi” laga “rakhi” hai
Kambakht”rakhi” ne to ksi or se laga “rakhi” hai.

Ye baat samajh me aayi nahi,
Aur mummy ne samajhai nahi.

Mai kaise mithi baat karu?
Jab mithi chiz koi khai nhi.
Ye chand kaise maamu hai?
Jab mumy ka wo bhai nahi.

Kyu lambe baal hai bhaalu ke?
Kyu usne triming karai nahi.
Kya wo bi ganda bachha hai?
Ya jungle me koi naai nahi.

Nana ki biwi jab nani hai,
Dada ki biwi jab dadi hai.
Papa ki biwi kyon papi nahi?

Samundar ka rang kyu neela hai?
Jab neel kisi ne milai nahi.
Jab school me itni neend aati hai.
Toh kyu bed waha rakhwai nahi?

Ye baat samajh mein aayi nahi
Aur mummy ne samjhai nhai.

The beauty of Islam

It's a beautiful way
Islam is a beautiful way to connect with God and there is no doubt that one can follow Islam and find peace in its truest form. We, through this discussion, will try to look at some of the most essential features of Islam.
What's the concept of God in Islam
The highest point of any path is assessed on the basis of what it has to say about God. Islam has some beautiful statements on God and these statements echo the same feelings as expressed by other paths.
God is One and Unique:
Islam says that God is One and Unique. It doesn't have a second. For that matter, it has no equals or rivals.
God is Perfect
Islam maintains that God is Perfect. God has no limitations or conditions.
God alone is worthy of all worship
Islam declares that God alone is worthy of worship. There is no reason why humanity should run after the worldly power or riches. Seeking God's grace should be the only objective
God is the All-Powerful
Islam says that God is All-Powerful. There is nothing beyond His reach or reign. God has full authority and power over all things.
God is beyond attributes
Islam says that if people obey God, it does not increase God's power; similarly, if people don't obey, it does not decrease the power. Isn't it beautiful. The concept of followers is made so clear--a good human being is for himself and not for God. He does not need supporters--we need good people for our society.
Other injunctions for people
There are many injunctions that are given in Islam. Some of them are beautiful and should be followed.
Prayer
The concept of prayer is central to Islam. It emphasizes on the significance of prayer by laying down the five daily prayers, which are geared towards the enrichment of the soul and not simply for asking or seeking benefits from God.
Charity
Islam says that charity leads to selflessness and makes one more helpful to others. It is not meant for show and pomp but to be humble.
Fasting
Islam encourages fasting because it helps in spiritual cleansing apart from the physical restraint that one has to put upon himself in order to observe the fasting.
Pilgrimage
Humanity unites when it reaches to a place that has common objective--sharing the love of God. Islam says pilgrimage is healthy because it brings together people of different races, colors, status and nationalities.
What do you see?
Share your thoughts as what you feel about the concept of Islam and how beautiful it is.

Parenting Tips - 3 unbelievably simple parenting ideas that work

3 unbelievably simple parenting ideas that work

1. Children need a minimum of eight touches during a day to feel connected to a parent.

If they’re going through a particularly challenging time, it’s a minimum of 12 a day. This doesn’t have to be a big deal; it could be the straightening of a collar, a pat on the shoulder or a simple hug.

2. Each day, children need one meaningful eye-to-eye conversation with a parent.

It is especially important for babies to have that eye contact, but children of all ages need us to slow down and look them in the eyes.

3. There are nine minutes during the day that have the greatest impact on a child:

the first three minutes right after they wake up
the three minutes after they come home from school
the last three minutes of the day before they go to bed
We need to make those moments special and help our children feel loved.
These are simple, right? Nothing really earth-shattering here.

But try it.
1⃣ Whenever u feel like scolding or beating your child, take a deep breath, or count 1-10 and then act.
2⃣ Let's ask them to study their favorite subject on their own..
3⃣ Send them to one paper without studying at all..
4⃣ Remember what our kids are learning in 5th std is taught to 7th std abroad..
5⃣ Lets keep our kids out of unwanted competition.
6⃣ 80% of what kids are learning ,won't be useful to them in future..
7⃣ Our kids can really afford to do whatever they want to do in future .
8⃣ Higher degrees don't guaranty success and happiness..
9⃣ Not all the highly educated people do well professionally.
And not all those who do well professionally are the happiest ones..
🔟 Kids are always in a party mood.. don't spoil their childhood. Support and let them be what they want to be.

How to Lose Weight Naturally (22 Home Remedies)

I believe there are only two ways to truly manage weight, through exercising and eating healthy. There simply is no magic shortcut, and while this may seem obvious to some people it is overlooked far, far, too often. Now you’re probably wondering, if diet and exercise are the only ways to lose weight, why did you write this list? Because there are still natural remedies and recipes that will help you reach your ultimate goal. If you use these in addition to eating better and getting some exercise, they can speed up the process. There are many different contributing factors to losing/gaining weight, so the below remedies cover a wide range.


Before you go on you should have a simple understanding of the process your body goes through when dropping the pounds. Fat (along with protein and carbohydrates) is stored energy, plain and simple. Calories are the unit that is used to measure the potential energy in said fats, carbs, and proteins. Your body will convert fat to usable energy through a series of chemical processes, and any excess energy (calories) that you don’t need will be stored away. To lose weight, you must expend more energy (or calories) than you take in. When you are using more than you taking in, your body draws on stored fat to convert it to energy, which makes the fat cells shrink. It doesn’t disappear; it simply changes form, like water to steam. While this is the basic process, you also have to take into account genetic and environmental factors. How well the above process takes place does vary from person to person.


1. Cinnamon Tea


Blood sugar has a direct impact on your weight as it affects how hungry and how energetic you are (if you have energy you’re much more likely to exercise!) If your blood sugar is balanced you are less likely to have a disproportionally large appetite, and your body will be more apt to use fat (energy) rather than storing it. While debate about its effectiveness drags on, more and more preliminary studies are coming out showing that cinnamon can help manage blood sugar levels, so why not whip up a spicy cinnamon tea?

You will need…


-1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
-1 cinnamon stick
-8 ounces of fresh water


Directions


Place the cinnamon in a mug and cover with 8 ounces of boiling water. Steep for 15 minutes before straining. Drinking 1-2 times a day.






2. Green Tea & Ginger

Green tea has long been debated as a weight loss aid, and more research is needed to confirm or deny how well it works. While some studies have turned up nothing, others have identified three main components in green tea that could help manage weight-caffeine, catechins, and theanine. Caffeine is just an overall boost to your system, and speeds up a number of bodily processes, including metabolism related to weight (technically speaking, metabolism refers to any and all biological processes in a living organism needed to sustain life.)

Catechins are considered anti-oxidant flavonoids, and are superior in green tea rather than black tea due to a difference in processing (black tea is fermented.) While the mechanism is yet to be determined, in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that catechins can help lower the absorption of lipids (fats) via the intestinal track. Theanine is an amino acid in green tea that can encourage the release of dopamine, the chemical that makes you “happy” and relaxed. If you tend to eat due to stress, this may be useful. It also counters the caffeine so you don’t get all jittery. The ginger added to green tea will help improve digestion and add a little flavor-no sugar or milk in this tea!

Sushma aur Gita


Union Minister for External Affairs Sushma Swaraj’s pitch to declare the Bhagavad Gita as a “national scripture” is unfortunate . No doubt Gita enjoys pride of place in Hinduism. But as we as indians are a secular democracy, the state has a responsibility to be neutral in matters of faith. It seems instead of development and good governance, Modi's Cabinet Ministers appear to be pandering to right-wing sentiments.

There is no philosophical basis or scientific explanation that the Gita provides solutions to many of our problems. The Minister has shown that she has neither read nor understood the Gita. The word ‘secularism’ came into usage in 1851. India has been a secular country.As a nation founded on the principles of secularism, we have the Constitution as our “national scripture” to guide us on the path to progress and in policy formulation. Ms. Swaraj should adopt a futuristic vision rather than a populistic one, so that we do not deviate from our democratic ideals.

It has become common for senior BJP leaders to come out with some controversial statement or the other that fuels speculation about the secular credentials of the ruling party. The communal situation in India is still quite sensitive and fragile. Any provocative utterance from a person in power would amount to rubbing salt in raw wounds. Let leaders of the BJP and the Sangh Parivar focus on developmental issues.

People of other religions have understood and learnt more about the Gita and what it propounds than Hindus have. For example, former President Abdul Kalam would usually quote the Gita during his meetings and lectures to highlight the importance of moral values and virtues. Similarly, there are many Hindu religious discourse-givers who often cite the Koran and the Bible. In a multicultural society, forcing one’s predilections will meet with resistance and opposition. In a secular and multi-faith country, what Victor Hugo said will keep the social fabric united: “We are for religion against the religions.”


I wonder what BJP MP from Mathura Hema Malini has to say in this issue, may be........

Colors of Terror (Urdu)




ڈاکٹر محمد منظور عالم

مشرقی ایشیا کی نویں چوٹی کانفرنس سے خطاب کرتے ہوئے وزیر اعظم نریندر مودی نے پرزور انداز میں یہ بات رکھی کہ ’’دہشت گردی کو مذہب سے نہیں جوڑناچاہیے‘‘ اور اس دہشت گردی کا مقابلہ کرنے کے لیے حقیقی انٹرنیشنل پارنٹرشپ وجودمیں آنی چاہیے نیز جو انسانیت پر یقین رکھتے ہیں انھیں ایک ساتھ مل کر کام کرنا چاہیے کیونکہ دہشت گردی کا مذہب سے کوئی لینا دینا نہیں ہے۔ ان کی اس بات سے کسی کو اختلاف نہیں ہو سکتا؟ یہ ایک اٹل حقیقت ہے لیکن تصویر کا دوسرا پہلو یہ ہے کہ عام طور پر لوگ اپنی آسانی کے لیے دہشت گردی کو ایک دوسرے کے مذہب سے جوڑدیتے ہیں جس سے مذہب کا وہ رول جو انسانی شرافت اور وقار کو قائم رکھنے، غربت وجہالت کو دور کرنے کے لیے ہوتا ہے، کمزور ہوجاتا ہے اور مذاہب کو اس کی اصل روح سے دور کر کے اس کو بے شمار الزامات اور شکوک وشبہات کے دائرے میں ڈال دیا جاتا ہے اور اس کے نتیجہ میں مذاہب کے ماننے والوں کی وضع، قطع، رہائش، لباس اور ہر ایک چیز کو مشکوک کرنے کی کوشش کی جاتی ہے، جو غلط ہے۔ جو بات غلط ہے وہ کبھی صحیح نہیں ہوسکتی چاہے وہ بہت دیر کے بعد لوگوں کو بالعموم اور لیڈروں کو بالخصوص اس بات کا احساس ہوتا ہو۔ یہ بیان ملک کے وزیر اعظم نے دیا ہے ہوسکتا ہے کہ ان کو اس کا احساس بھی ہوا ہو۔
بنیادی سوال یہ ہے کہ دہشت گردی کیونکر جنم لیتی ہے، اس کی گہرائی میں جانا چاہیے۔ دہشت گردی اسی وقت پیدا ہوتی ہے جب انصاف دم توڑدے، انصاف کے سارے راستے مسدود کردیے جائیں۔ انصاف حاصل کرنے کے جتنے بھی قوانین ہیں وہ جوتوں سے روند دیئے جائیں۔ اسی بنا پر انصاف کو قائم کرنے پر زور دیا گیا ہے، انصاف ایک ایسا مثبت قدم ہے جو تمام مذاہب خواہ وہ آفاقی مذہب ہو یا انسان کی اپنی سمجھ بوجھ کے پس منظر میں قائم ہواہو، سبھی اس بات پر زور ڈالتے ہیں کہ انصاف قائم کرو، خواہ وہ اپنے خلاف ہو اپنے والدین یا اپنے عزیز واقارب کے خلاف جائے اس کے لیے ضروری ہے کہ انصاف تک پہونچنے کے لیے جتنے بھی راستے ہیں خواہ وہ پولیس، جانچ ایجنسیوں کی شکل میں ہوں، پڑوس کے رہنے والے ہوں، وہ خود بھی اس پر عمل کریں اور اس کے لیے ماحول سازگار کریں۔ جب اس کے خلاف عمل شروع ہوتا ہے جس میں نسلی برتری، نسلی تفریق، اونچ نیچ، اعلیٰ اور ادنیٰ، رنگ ونسل، زبان، تہذیب وثقافت اور تمدن کی برتری اور اقتصادی استحصال کے ذریعہ اپنی قوت اور برتری کا اظہار ہو اس کے نتیجہ میں انصاف کے سارے راستے مسدود ہوتے ہیں اور سماج کے کمزور طبقات بالخصوص خواتین اور بچے اس استحصال کا شکار ہوتے ہیں۔
دہشت گردی کے پروان چڑھنے کی ایک بڑی وجہ یہ ہے کہ دنیا کو بنانے والے خالق کائنات نے جو سبھی جان رکھنے والوں کا پالن ہار ہے۔ اس نے انسانوں کو برابری کا حق دیا ہے، تمام انسانوں نے ایک ہی ماں باپ سے جنم لیا اور پوری دنیا میں پھیل گئے اور اس کی آبادی دنیا میں تقریباً 8بلین ہے۔ برابری کی بنیاد پر اللہ نے انسانوں کو ایک کنبہ قرار دیا ہے اس کے برعکس رنگ ونسل، علاقے اورمذاہب کے ماننے والوں کے اختلاف کی بنیاد پر ایسے ہزاروں من گھڑت طریقے بناتے گئے جس سے برابری کا درجہ ختم کردیاجاتا ہے بعض دفعہ تو حیوانوں سے بدتر سلوک کیا جاتا ہے۔
اس کا ایک پہلو بھائی چارگی کا ہے۔ بھائی چارگی اسی بنیاد پر قائم ہوتی ہے کہ ایک طرف انصاف کا بول بال ہو، قانون کا راج ہو، انصاف کے راستے نظر آرہے ہوں، قانون کے سامنے کوئی چھوٹا بڑا نہ ہو، ہر انسان معصوم ہے، برابر ہے، اس وقت تک جب تک کہ اس کا قصور ثابت نہیں ہوتا۔ اگر یہ کیفیت پیدا نہیں ہوتی تو اسے بھائی چارگی کا حصہ نہیں مل سکتا اور انصاف بھائی چارگی کی گاڑی کے پہیے کی طرح ساتھ نہیں چل رہا ہے تو کمزور طبقہ ’سب کو اپنا ’’بھائی‘‘ سمجھتا رہے اور جو مضبوط ہے، انصاف کے خلاف ہے اسے ’’چارہ‘‘ سمجھتا رہے‘۔ یہ وہ بنیادی ستون ہیں جن کی بنیاد پر پوری دنیا سے دہشت گردی مٹائی جاسکتی ہے۔ اگر ہم بین الاقوامی اور اپنے ملک کا جائزہ لیں اور آج کے دور میں جو تبدیلیاں ہورہی ہیں، بلا تکلف کہا جاسکتا ہے کہ مکمل سفید جھوٹ کی بنیاد پر قتل وغارت گری کا بازار گرم کردے خواہ یہ نعرہ دیا جائے کہ عوامی تباہی کے ہتھیاروں کے خلاف جنگ کی جائے، خواہ پٹرول کی منڈی پر قبضہ کرنے کی کوشش کی جائے، خواہ اسرائیل کو قائم رکھنے کے لیے اربوں ڈالر خرچ کیے جائیں اور انھیں مکمل آزادی دی جائے کہ دہشت گردی کے نام پر جو خود دہشت گرد ہے فلسطین اور غزہ پٹی کو تباہ وبرباد کردے۔ اقوام متحدہ یا تو محض خاموش تماشائی بنارہے یا اپنی بے بسی کا اظہار کرکے خاموش ہوجائے، ایسی صورتحال میں ہمارے ملک کے حکمراں کو یہ غور کرنا چاہیے کہ ہم کس طرح کا ماڈل بننا چاہتے ہیں۔ وہ ماڈل جو امریکا اور اسرائیل کے ذریعہ اپنا تسلط قائم کرنے کا ہے یا ’باپو‘ کا سبق جہاں امن وآشتی، بھائی چارگی، آپسی محبت، اپنے خیالات کا اظہار کرنے اور مختلف بنیادی حقوق فراہم کرکے ایک ایسا متبادل فراہم کریں کہ دنیا میں امن وآشتی اور ترقی کا ماڈل قائم ہوسکے، جہاں ہر ایک انسان کی ضروریات کی تکمیل ہو، لالچ کی تکمیل نہیں ہوسکتی، تسلط قائم کرنے کی خواہش پوری نہیں ہوسکتی۔ ہتھیاروں کی دوڑ میں ہم شامل تو ضرور ہوسکتے ہیں مگر انسانیت کی بقاء اس سے قائم نہیں ہوسکتی۔ ہم کمزور ہرگز نہیں رہنا چاہتے مگر دنیا کے کمزور ملکوں کا مداوا نہیں بن سکتے۔ نتیجہ کے طور پر اس بات کا اندیشہ ہمیشہ رہے گا کہ شدت پسندی کہیں سے بھی کسی کے ذریعہ کہیں ا پنی شکایت کے مداوا کے لیے کہیں اپنی غلط فہمی کے دفاع کے لیے پیدا ہوتی ہے اور کمزور لوگ ہی ’نشیلی اشیاء کی سپلائی‘، ’ہتھیاروں کی اسمگلنگ‘ اور ’منی لاڈرنگ‘ کا شکار ہوتے ہیں۔ اس لیے ضرورت اس بات کی ہے کہ بدلتے گلوبل تناظر میں میں دوسروں کے ماڈل کو اختیار کرنے کے بجائے ہمارا ماڈل جو امن وآشتی کے پیغام، ترقی وخوشحالی کو بڑھانے اور اس میں سب کو شریک کرنے کے جذبہ کو بیدار کیا جائے تو شاید اس دنیا کے لیے ہم ایک اچھے ماڈل کی شکل میں ابھر سکتے ہیں۔
اس پس منظر میں جب ہم اپنے ملک کو دیکھتے ہیں تو ایسا لگتا ہے کہ محبت کی جگہ نفرت، انصاف کی جگہ ناانصافی، امن وآشتی کی جگہ زہر افشانی، بھائی چارگی کی جگہ دشمنی، سب کو ساتھ لیکر چلنے کے بجائے کچھ لوگوں کو اقتدار میں جگہ دینا، کمزور کو مزید کمزور کرنا، سرمایہ دار دنیا کی منڈی بننا، عام انسانوں کی ضروریات کا خیال رکھنے کے بجائے کمزور کو مٹانے اور غریبی کو ختم کرنے کے بجائے غریب کو مزید کمزور اور لاچار کیا جائے اور اس میں کمزور طبقات بالعموم اور مسلمانوں بالخصوص ودیگر اقلیتوں کو ہر ایک میدان میں انصاف سے محروم رکھا جارہا ہے اور برابری سے دور کیا جارہا ہے اور بھائی چارگی تو بالکل عنقا ہوتی چلی جارہی ہے اور ایسی تنظیمیں جو انتہا پسندانہ خیالات رکھتی ہیں انھیں ہر طرح کی چھوٹ اور آزادی ملی ہوئی ہے اور اقلیتوں و دیگر کمزور طبقات کی تنظیموں پر الزام لگا کر پولیس کی بربریت ودیگر آفیسران کی نا انصافی پر عملدر آمد تیز تر ہوتا جارہا ہے۔ کھلے انداز میں نہ صرف منافرت نظر آرہی ہے بلکہ انصاف کے ترازو میں جو معصوم ہیں وہ مجرم قرار دیے جارہے ہیں اور جو مجرم ہیں وہ آزاد ہوتے چلے جار ہے ہیں۔
سوال یہ ہے کہ کیا ہم ’’امن و آشتی‘‘ کے ماڈل بننے کی ہمت رکھتے ہیں؟ کیا ہم ’مین آف ایکشن‘ (Man of Action) خطاب حاصل کرنے کے بعد ان برائیوں، خرابیوں، ناانصافیوں، نابرابری اور بھائی چارگی کا جو عدم اعتماد پیداہورہا ہے اس کو دور کرنے کے لیے ’ایکشن‘ کے لیے تیار ہیں۔ کیا ہم دستور کی عظمت کو قانون کی بالا دستی کو انصاف کے راستے میں آنے والی رکاوٹوں کو کسی امتیاز کے بغیر کھڑے ہونے کی ہمت کرتے ہیں۔ کیا ہم دنیا کی رہنمائی جو اوپر کی بنیادوں پر قائم ہوسکتی ہے، کرنے کو تیار ہیں۔ کیا ہم مختلف مذاہب کے ماننے والوں کو احترام دے سکتے ہیں۔ کیا ہم انسانیت کو فروغ دینے اور اس کی عزت ووقار کو بڑھانے کے لیے عملی قدم اٹھا سکتے ہیں۔ ضرورت اس بات کی ہے کہ نہ صرف ان سوالوں پر غور کرنا چاہیے بلکہ اس کا مثبت انداز میں جواب دینا چاہیے۔جب مثبت انداز سے جواب آئے تو ہم ہندستانی فخر سے دنیا والوں کو کہہ سکتے ہیں کہ تم نے یورپ اور امریکا کے اسرائیل ماڈل کو دیکھا، آؤ اب ہندستان کی تہذیب وتمدن اور اس کے دستوری وقار کے ماڈل کو دیکھو۔

Colours of Terror


by
Recently, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi said at an ASEAN summit that terrorism had no religion, Indian Muslims heaved a sigh of relief. This line, that “terror has no religion”, is a relatively new Sangh refrain, being mouthed as a policy mantra by all persons affiliated to it.

However, it was not always so. The earlier line was, “Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslim”. This suddenly changed during UPA-II when Sangh-related terrorists like Aseemanand, Col. Purohit, Sadhvi Pragya Singh and several others were caught and jailed for staging major terror attacks like Samjhauta Express and Malegaon mosque (twice) cases.

These Hindutva votaries had been attacking Muslim targets with a communal motive. That’s why security agencies called them Hindutva terrorists, without mincing words. Senior BJP leaders like L K Advani protested vociferously against this label, but officials persisted with the nomenclature. To his credit, the then Union Home Minister P C Chidambram also publicly called them Hindutva terrorists, repeatedly, despite protests by BJP leaders.

At that point they dropped their “all terrorists are Muslims” refrain and came up with the new stand that “terror has no religion”. Mr. Modi’s assertion at ASEAN is a continuation of that policy. We will certainly come to the conclusion that terror has no creed when we look at the terror map of the world. We have all religions represented there in a fair proportion.

The earliest known terrorists were the Jewish Sicari, nearly 2000 years ago. Several centuries later came the Ismailite Muslim Hasheesheen (Assassins), disciples of Sheikh-al-Jabal Abdullah Ibn Saba. In the 19th century came the Thughs, who were Hindus. They misled victims, cut their heads and offered it to Kali Devi. In 20th century India many freedom fighters were declared terrorists, both Hindu and Muslim, for resorting to violent means in their freedom struggle.

The first well-known terrorists in the 20th century were the Jewish Hagannah. Irgun and Stern gangs in Mandate Palestine, who attacked Arabs and British Mandate officials. Most of the Israeli presidents and prime ministers before the current lot were declared terrorists by the British Mandate, including Shamir and Begin. They carried awards on their heads.

That terror has no colour or creed is evident from a look at the Muslim, black Boko Haram, white Christian German Bader Menhaulf, Spanish Basque terrorists, Irish IRA, Muslim al-Qaeda, Hindu Naxals and Hindutva terrorists, Yerevada Buddhist Sinhala terrorists and Buddhist terrorists of Myanmar and Sikh Babbar Khalsa in India. This is only a short list. In India, Naxal terror has been time and again declared officially as number one internal security threat.

Now, the point is not which religion, race or skin colour to blame for terror, but how to seriously try to understand it, address its root causes, take appropriate policy measures, gradually end it and try to rehabilitate the alienated in mainstream society.

So, what is terrorism, which we want to curb? There is no standard definition despite ongoing efforts at the UN for the last four decades. This is because one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter or activist for social justice. In the absence of a standard definition, let us go by the widely accepted working definition. It defines terrorism as an act of random violence, not necessarily targeting immediately concerned people, but even common people unrelated with systems of power. Such violence, this definition says, is inflicted on targets for political purposes. This is why religious or sectarian violence often comes under crimes (even the most heinous ones) to be handled separately.

Now, what can be done to contain it? The first step is to have an equitous and fair society, with equal opportunity and equality before law. Unless a society ensures these basics, terrorism cannot be defeated. In case of foreign terrorists operating on our territory, they should simply be eliminated with force, no questions asked.

In case of our own alienated people like Naxals, we should try to create a more equitable order where their personal, social and common property rights should be restored and respected. There is no short-cut to winning the war on terror. It takes a comprehensive strategy and patient work.

Pulling the Strings RSS Way


Hamid Ali Khan

Three events in the recent past are enough to suggest that the process of saffronisation of democratic institutions has begun. Some two months ago, slogans of “Jai Shri Ram” were chanted by BJP workers who were present in strength in the Raj Bhawan in Jaipur during the oath-taking ceremony of Kalyan Singh, an ex-chief minister of UP and the “hero” of the demolition of Babri Masjid at Ayodhya, as Rajasthan governor. When asked by some newsmen of the propriety of chanting of “Jai Shri Ram” by over-zealous invitees, Kalyan Singh retorted “what is wrong with it?” The reply of Kalyan Singh, who had assumed the office of governor, a constitutional post, a short while ago, is indicative of the shape of things to come.

In a related event, RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat’s speech was telecast on state-owned Door Darshan (DD). Nobody bothered to take care to see that speeches by RSS leaders end up promoting communal discord. Never in the history of a public broadcaster in India has a political party leader or the head of a social or cultural organisation, been allowed to go on air. The BJP government at the Centre owes a lot of explaining RSS Chief’s use of DD for airing his communal views.

In a third such incident, minister in the Vajpayee government and the present UP governor, Ram Naik, invited Mohan Bhagwat and other senior leaders from the RSS for a lunch at Lucknow Raj Bhawan. This left the ruling Samajwadi party and the state Congress party leaders fuming. They accused the governor of converting Raj Bhawan into an extension of the local RSS office. By the time the news hit headlines, Naik came out with a statement defending his action and reiterating his status as a “swayamsewak” for life. Naik minced no words in saying on October 22 in Lucknow that he would always be a thorough RSS person, irrespective of the political or administrative positions he might hold.” This is reminiscent of the question of double membership raised by the veteran socialist leader Raj Narain in 1979 that led to fall of the Janata Party government following refusal by Jan Sangh leaders, who were part of the government, to sever all ties with the RSS. Instead of resigning from the membership of RSS, the Jan Sangh group in the Janata Party preferred its parent organisation over a political party they formed to contest Lok Sabha elections against Congress in 1977.

This is a brazen and deliberate attempt of the RSS to systematically undermine the Constitution and foist a system wedded to the Brahminical Order on the people. In an interview to a newspaper recently, Ram Naik concurred with the RSS agenda. His ambivalence is confounded when he says I hold a Constitutional post. So, I will desist from making political comments. He clarifies, “Before taking up this position I even resigned from BJP membership”. Resigning from the party’s membership does not amount to quitting the saffron organisation that controls as many as 150 outfits working in almost every sphere of life. Despite denials by the RSS that it influences the policies of the BJP, the fact remains that its pracharaks are regularly drafted for party work.

Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh and other top brass of the party have had long innings as RSS pracharaks. Even today, all the major policy decisions are taken at Nagpur headquarters of RSS. Thus, so long as Naik is ideologically committed to RSS, his resignation from the BJP does not carry conviction with the people. His contention that he has met a number of political leaders like Congress leader Rita Bahuguna, BSP Chief Mayawati, UP Chief Minister, Akhilesh Yadav, etc. during his three months in office, is unacceptable as Mohan Bhagwat is neither a political leader nor a constitutional office holder. He presides over an organisation that has no written code or a list of its members and office-bearers.

Eyebrows are natural to be raised over invitation to a person who is overtly or covertly making remarks that hurt the sentiments of a large segment of people of the nation. Naik may have been appointed as governor to garner support for the BJP in the assembly elections that are due in 2017. His overreach on issues exclusively in the domain of the state government may lead to confrontation between him and the Chief Minister. The 10-day conclave of RSS workers from all over the country, including the three-day meet of the karyakari mandal (executive committee) in Lucknow from October 17 to 19 last must be seen in that context.

UP has become crucial for the BJP. As reports suggest, Prime Minister Modi, too, is taking keen interest in the state. The BJP will pull out all stops to wrest UP from the ruling Samajwadi Party. It is high time for the democratic and secular parties to read between the lines and rise above petty politics for higher gains.


Building political capital on hate propaganda


Vidya Bhushan Rawat

It is a reminder bell that rings every year which has not changed us to the core. The horrific crimes against humanity perpetrated by the political goons in the dark night of October 31st till a couple of days of November 1984 after the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was declared officially ‘dead’ and which remain unpunished till date is not just a matter of shame but absolute failure of our democracy. A truly democratic system would have envisaged ways and means to tackle such a situation in future but instead people became ‘football’ in the political games of those who have least concern about loss of human lives and sentiments. Punjab was bleeding when India got partitioned in 1947 and Sikh community felt betrayed as many of their issues remained unsettled politically. Sikh nationalism has to be merged into pan Indian Nationalism dictated and dominated by the brahmanical Hindus.

In the din of Pan Indian nationalism, we refused to understand the Punjab’s hurt psyche and wanted to resolve it through military solution in the very similar way of what we are doing in Kashmir. We want referendum on every conflict but not in those regions but in rest of the country. The people of the state had lost faith in administration and politicians were reaping rich harvest on ‘action’ against ‘terrorism’ in rest of the country. So, you take ‘strong’ ‘action’ against ‘terrorist’ and rest assure, you will get a good crop of votes elsewhere. The farcical first past the post system that we inherited from the British is actually now the best weapon for our political class to use against minorities ‘legitimately’.

Political killing cannot help restore peace and resolve a crisis but we saw how everybody used Indira Gandhi’s killing as a political weapon for their own interest. The Congress Party used her killing as a killing of ‘Bharat Mata’ and Rajiv was using all the good words that emerged from ‘Hindutva’ dictionary that time. Maa, Ganga Maa and everything is same which is being used by Narendra Modi today. Indian sentiments have been very openly and unambiguously have to be brahmanical Hindu sentiments. The Hindutva elements inside Congress used it and hence the mandate that Rajiv got in 1984 was thoroughly communal mandate based on hate propaganda. It does not matter whether BJP was zero or two member strength in the Parliament as the ideology preached by the Hindutva won that time. So, to say that Hindutva politics came just when BJP assumed power is absolutely wrong and does not take into account the brahmanical games of the Congress Party. India’s mainstream political parties have seen systematic Hindutvaisation process which was the agenda of Sangh Parivar. Hinduise the polity they wanted and once that was done political parties were unable to challenge the process ideologically. It seems Hindutva has become the main theme and parties want to stick to it and not to question it.

We did not learn from such a crime against humanity when state became a party to it and abdicated its responsibility to protect its citizens irrespective of their caste, religion, region as promised in our constitution. It is not that Congress only was using Hindutva for its own purposes. Many of the Sikh groups also praised the killers and some of them celebrated Indira Gandhi’s killing too. Even today there are many such groups in UK and Canada which keep celebrating her death.

These unfortunate things come handy for hate monger as a tiny incident become a powerful weapon of propaganda by the political opponents. It is according to our suitability who can fetch us vote hence for Modi it is Godhra victims, for Congress it is Indira’s martyrdom, for Akalis it is the murderers of Indira Gandhi and that reflects the bankruptcy of our political parties and their thought process where they assume people to absolute fool and apolitical.

Rumours have always been used to develop hatred towards minority and the marginalized to ensure a consolidation of so-called ‘majority’ for political purpose. So 1984 and 2002 are may look different to some people but they are complimentary to each other. The mask of dominance has changed but it remained quintessentially Hindu hatred towards Sikh in Delhi and Muslims in Gujarat. The leaders might emerge from different political parties, one ‘so called secular and the other so called communal but the leadership, ideology of these parties remain consolidated in the hands of caste Hindus. So the consolidation of upper caste Hindus towards Hindutva philosophy is not a sudden phenomenon as it is a political weapon for power and minorities of different variety will automatically become the victim of this maneuvering.

Many people suggest that in 1984 it was the Congress leaders who committed the crime against humanity. Yes, Congress found that secular mask would not help them much in elections and hence it trended dangerously towards Hindutva and fact is all the events that led to army operation at the Harminder Saheb need to interrogated and analysed carefully. Right from Kashmir to Punjab, Indira Gandhi was using the Hindu card and Rajiv did the same after her death. You need to create a villain for the greater ‘majority’ consolidation and martial castes become the real tool to ‘act’ on the ground. This is the real functioning of the status quoists that they use the ‘victims’ to victimize others. In the cases of riots everywhere urbanized Dalits, OBCs are used even when the leaders of these groups may hail from the upper caste Hindu background as the ‘leader’ has to fight elections too.

If you are not convinced then I can put a small question. May be ‘experts’ can analyse the trend of Trilokpuri incident last week and compare it with what happened on the nights of October 31st and first week of November 1984. The victims in 1984 were Sikhs and this time Muslims but the perpetrators were political goons of Congress that time and this time of the Hindutva party and I can bet the ‘actors’ may be the same who are ‘professionals’ who have become ‘nationalists’ ensures every different thought and look should be ‘treated’ properly. It is therefore essential to see India’s political trends not in terms of Congress or BJP but in terms of majoritarianism at the cost of minorities. If this trend is not arrested we will see more blood bath. India’s electoral system has actually converted minorities into a sandwich between different authoritarian brahmanical parties and unless our electoral system is not changed completely we will see more communal slaughter to ‘anoint’ so messiahs over us.

The failure of the victim getting justice has given bigger propaganda material to those whose ideology was responsible for the crisis that we face in India today. Just yesterday the government of India decided to ‘increase’ amount of compensation to five lakh rupees to the people killed in ‘communal violence’. Shamelessly, the entire issue has been communalized with a clear agenda of going to polls in Punjab exclusively in the coming years. One must ask as whether people who have been slaughtered in Gujarat in 2002 and who happened to be Muslims will also get any compensation on account of this? Years after year, we see killings of Dalits by the caste Hindus and yet not a single case has been taken to conclusion. India must ask a question to itself why in the past 60 years, none of those responsible for communal carnage have been given any sentences by the courts. In fact, all those who are responsible for such disturbances and hatred are reaping rich harvest politically. Our judiciary has to introspect as why there is such antipathy on part of our state and the system which claim to be ‘one of the best’. Riots after riots and there is no lessons. Tragedies are occurring on larger scales and yet state remains mute and in the riots cases if we follow them diligently the ‘professionals’ are caught but the real ‘actors’ behind the crime are roaming free and have political protection and power at their hand. When will we see the day when politicians who reaping this ‘rich harvest of hatred’ get sentences by our courts. Unless that is done, we will continue to see the crop of hatred which will empower a few of our politicians but definitely weaken the whole idea of India.

In 1984, we had still good people around us in the media who raised the issue and have been fighting for the rights of the people who were slaughtered. We cannot imagine that now as the time has changed and media has been converted into the propaganda tool of the ruling party. That over 10000 people were killed all over the country and in the most brutal manner and yet we as a nation could not provide a healing touch to them is a shame. It is double shame when people who themselves butcher another minority and discriminate among different minorities create a deliberate and mischievous misunderstanding of an entire thing which is nothing but majoritarianism and its brutal repercussion on minorities. It is the power of these dominant and powerful majoritarian political classes which has resulted in the massacres of people after independence. They will blame each other but the fact is that they perpetuated it. Unambiguously, it is the idea of majority dominance in democracy where minorities have to just succumb and follow the diktats. We are witnessing it at every level.

India does not need to choose between an Iron man and Iron woman. The Iron man was a Congressman and a Gandhian though with a feudal mind and the iron woman too displayed similar anti-democratic tendencies many time. Ofcourse, if commitment to socialism and India’s marginalized and minorities are concern, iron woman as well as her father would be considered far above the ‘iron man’ of India but at the core of their heart both the Iron woman and Iron Man were ‘dictatorial’ in nature. We need to go beyond the rhetoric of individuals and come back to work according to the spirit of our constitution and international laws. Remembering leaders is good but using them for political purposes must stop now. We do not need messiah as they have done enough damage to us making us absolutely ‘devotees’ without ever thinking and respecting rights of others. There is no doubt that Congress leadership had gone overboard in promoting their Nehru Gandhi family but things were never as awkward and explicit as they are looking today. With pettiness being visible at the highest level, Indian continue to show how immature as a democracy they are and how we live in bitterness giving full freedom to those who continue to enjoy great harvest of hatred. Whoever be at the helm of affairs in Delhi or state, it is the people who will have to pay price. A country is known from the society it has and event managements will not ensure future of its children, women and men. The attitude to look down upon the minorities in suspicion and giving legitimacy to all forms of accusations and violence against them must stop at all level.

The electoral system which benefitted Congress is now helping the BJP but the victims remain the minorities. The propaganda is mostly based on individual incidents where persons from minority or marginalized communities are involved. Their ‘action’ results in negative portrayal of the entire community and ‘need’ strong ‘reaction’. We have seen such ‘reactions’. Majority symbols too are being supplied for children, young and adults in large quantity these days. They mean nothing but everything and have become license to intimidate others who do not look like ‘us’. Every morning we are hearing these heavily loaded slogans of ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’ and ‘Vande Mataram’ not out of our own self but to provoke ‘others’ who may not be having the same idea about this concept. If patriotism and nationalism can be certified just on the basis of a few empty slogans, India would not have had any problem but it is much bigger than this.

Gandhi was killed and his killings have been justified so was the killings of Indira Gandhi and Rajiv. Godhra was justified and so was the massacre of Delhi in 1984 and Gujarat in 2002. Hundreds of other riots and pogroms have happened in India and our notoriety is in justifying them. Our political system has not yet evolved and may be the political parties do not want that to evolve fully to convert us into a complete democracy where each one of us express our opinion without any fear and each of the communities living in India has enough participation in our power structure. We will not have people crying for justice then when each one of us will feel the pain of them. Why should the victims of pogroms of 1984 and 2002 be referred to with particular political slants? They were Indians and therefore India needs to respond to this that both the massacres at 1984 and 2002 are blot to its face and reflect draconian majority tendencies afraid of minority assertion or dissent. Democracies mature from the accidents of history so that such things do not happen again by providing level playing fields and ensuring through speedy justice without any political manipulations. Will our political leaders rise above narrow and petty political interests and allow justice to be done to those who have been used as fodder to reach power structure. People must not allow themselves to be used in such a way as such games are not over and some other day we will see other games where people are killed and justification being provided by those in power.

A Secular Response

Dr Mohammad Manzoor Alam



The get together of Nitish Kumar, Lalu Prasad Yadav, Deve Gowda and Sharad Yadav over lunch at Mulayam Singh Yadav’s residence in New Delhi has set off talks about revival of parts of the old Janata Party in coming days. The leaders at the lunch belong to JD (U), RJD and SP.

These parties have a presence in a wide arc of India, but have only 15 MPs in Lok Sabha and 25 in Rajya Sabha. They rule in Bihar and UP, which account for 120 MPs together. That’s a considerable power base if they act cohesively.

They can be an influential bloc in Parliament and act as a nuclus for a larger congregation around which secular parties can coalesce on a common minimum programme. To enjoy real strength they have to take on board the Left. To contend for power at the Centre they will have to give up their anti-Congressism and their old antipathies.

If everything goes well, they are hoped to merge together to form a new Janata Party early next year. But here is a big “if”, because they have a record of being fractious. The new conglomerate’s chief is going to be Mulayam Singh Yadav, who has never been known to respect “coalition dharma.”

Already there are people who say the group will not adhere together for any significant length of time. Lalu Yadav is already said to be jostling for a prominent position, while Mulayam Singh has the image of a coalition breaker. The Times of India predicts that it will end up like the Janata Party ended within three years of its rule.

Despite it’s avowed anti-Congressism, the Janata Party has been a watered down version of the Congress Party, like which it is left of centre and distinct from the Communists on the Left and the BJP on the right. Its constituency overlaps that of the Congress. This could be a disadvantage for both the groups as they can tap into each other’s support base, giving the BJP an opportunity to fleet by.

The Janata Party in the making has to be cautious because even small mistakes can make them lose power in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, which are going to the polls in 2015 and 2017 respectively. That will be a great setback for the secular front in India. Their loss will be BJP’s gain.

Muharram


ये महीना मुहर्रम का है और यह दुनिया को बताने का अवसर है
कि कोई ज़ालिम, बादशाह भले ही हो सकता है,
अपने आप को धार्मिक भले ही कहलवा सकता है,
लेकिन धार्मिक हो नहीं सकता,

क्योंकि हर धर्म की सबसे पहली शर्त है इंसानियत का होना |
बिना इंसानियत के सब कुछ बेकार है ! ज़ुल्म करने वालों पर धिक्कार है !!!
इस मुहर्रम के जुलुस में शिया, सुन्नी ,हिन्दू, सिख, इसाई, दुनिया के कोने कोने में अपने अपने रूप से, भाग लेते हैं और अपनी श्रधांजलि इमाम हुसैन (अ.स) को पेश करते हैं |


किशन लाला उर्फ़ “किशन" सीतापुरी मुहर्रम में एक नौहा पढ़ा करते थे
जिसके शब्द कुछ इस तरह हैं:-
भारत में अगर आ जाता ह्रदय में उतारा जाता
यूँ चाँद बनी हाशिम का धोखे से ना मारा जाता |
चौखट से ना उठते माथे, हर ओर से पूजा होती
इस देश की भाषाओँ में भगवान् पुकारा जाता |

8 ways to avoid losing money in stock market

Milan Parekh of Action Financial Services lists out eight ways to avoid losing money in the stock market. He elaborates on making smart choices to adopt proper strategies and have good market knowledge

Milan Parekh Action Financial Services

Many believe that the stock market is like a money making machine which can turn them into millionaires over a period of time. Well, it is true that a lot of investors have made profits through stock trading. But it was possible because they've made some really smart choices by adopting carefully thought of strategies and good market knowledge. Such investors are also much disciplined in their approach which is why they've reaped the benefits of stock trading.

While you’re out there, thinking of a million ways to grow your money, we have charted out a few ways in which you can avoid losing out on it. 

Identify the market phase 
It is important to know what phase the market is in. For example, figure out if whether it is a trading or a trending phase. Accordingly you can buy/sell breakouts. One can buy weakness and sell strength if it’s a trading phase. Inability to understand the market sentiment can lead to using the wrong indicators in the wrong market conditions.

Observe and trade
If you’re not as experienced as other traders, it is advisable to observe market patterns during the first half of the trading day. It is driven by emotion, affected by overnight movements and effects of the previous day. You can take your trading decisions in the second half after observing the trend in the first half as the real trends emerge during later part of the day.

Avoid hurrying up to book profits 
It may be tempting to book profits early sometimes. However, avoid doing this as long as the market looks right. By doing this, you could be letting go of substantial trends even when you’ve got a good entry into the market. If in case you want to secure your profits, you could do it in stages, thereby keeping some scope to take advantage of the rest of the move. The ideal mix should consist of small profits, small losses and big profits.

Never buy a stock based on its past performance

Stock markets moves in phases. If it goes up during one phase, it comes down during another. It actually depends on the performance of the economy. So, if the economy of a country is doing well stock markets go up and vice versa. A stock that gave certain returns the previous year, may not give similar returns in the current year. The returns will depend not only on the company’s movement, but also on market conditions and state of the economy. Although is always good to know the past performance of a company's stock performance, it is risky to depend completely on it.


Don’t be swayed by unfavourable events


An unfavourable event may not necessarily result in a negative impact on the stock market as well. It actually depends on the nature of the event. You need to analyze the possible impact it could have on the economy overall, and then come to a logical conclusion on the impact it can have on the stock market. Take the Gujarat earthquake for instance. Everybody had speculated that the earthquake would devastate the country's economy and make the stock market stumble because Gujarat has the largest number of investors. Interestingly, the market reacted in a different way by recovering all the losses later on. In this case, the event boosted the economy as reconstruction had to be taken up in a big way, giving a boost to cement and construction industry.

Treat every trade as just another trade

Keep in mind that every trade is just another trade and only normal profits should be expected every time. Supernormal profits do occur, perhaps rarely, but should not be expected. Remember, you should increase your risk only when your equity grows enough to service that risk.

Majority doesn't always win

Just how we consult a million people to take the right decision in our personal life, traders should avoid talking to a lot of people during trading hours, to avoid confusion and chaos. However, it is a good idea to talk to experienced traders after market hours to gain perspective on their views on the market. Say, if the market acts too volatile, it can actually be beneficial if you just back off for a while, even if the majority doesn’t agree.

Diversify, however don't overdo it 

Avoid putting all your money in a single stock because if it performs you win, if not, your investment is gone. Diversification helps you under such circumstances where even if 1 or 2 sectors underperform, you could be gaining from the other sectors. Diversification of investment is a must to mitigate risk. However, do not over-diversify as having too many stocks in a portfolio may not create a significant value for you. There are chances of depriving yourself of the gains from profitable investments.

Foreign Bank Account-holders' list

It is vastly amusing that the electronic media seem to be in a tizzy over a few names. Can we believe that the “guilty” number less than 1,000? Do 627 bank accounts hold the $1-trillion that we are often told is the quantum of India’s black money? For a country where it is widely believed that virtually every rich or powerful person is a crook, as being crooked is sewn into the national ethos, should not the list run into a thousand pages or more? Should it not contain the names of some of the most revered and fawned upon across the political, business, bureaucratic, showbiz, sports, and arts communities? Those who are said to be account-holders must be amused. Let us remember that not one person in all the names and numbers in the Jain diaries case of the 1990s was convicted.

The black money chase under way, prodded along by the process of judicial monitoring, seems destined to be an exercise in futility in terms of getting the money back. The accounts would have been closed and the money trail gone cold. Unless we have instant access to information on Indian account- holders abroad and transactions therein, complete cooperation from all foreign banks and the power to get these accounts frozen on request, the outcome of attempts may be limited to the revelation of names, causing embarrassment to the account-holders, providing ammunition to the sensation-hungry media and satisfying national curiosity. These accounts represent only a fraction of the ill-gotten wealth. There are more complex avenues such as front companies in tax havens. For instance, the spoils of the 2G scam cannot be in Swiss bank accounts in the names of people we suspect!

I always wonder what the position of this country would be were it not for timely interventions by the Supreme Court. We have a right to know who the people responsible for our plight are.

As someone who does not have a grounding in economics or the intricacies of the law of the land, I am unable to appreciate the sentiment which indicts those holding accounts in certain banks abroad. Of course, the government should worry about its agreements with foreign states and the right to privacy of all individuals, including those holding foreign accounts. It will be fair to term those accounts as holding “black money” only after a legal investigation and not before or even during the exercise. Much of the criticism in this case reeks of a feeling of moral superiority and appears intended to drive attention away from the issue of an exploitative and inegalitarian economic order within the nation itself.

Why Malala for Nobleprize?

I Mean what did Malala do except going around the world on western money?
The west's strategy backfired with Malala. They bleeding hearts were looking for a poster child for their propaganda against taliban and islam. They gave her medical treatment and a new life so that she could become another ayan hirsi ali. But she and her dad, both shrewd muslims. pulled off a better one. They used the west's resources to travel around the world and make money. She is, in reality a hypocrite, She has moved her family to england and enjoying a good life.
This decision by Jury is a huge set back to the credibility of the noble prize and also to the laureates who have received it before.
