Attack on Prashant Bhushan - a fascism and justice together ??

Mr. Prashant Bhushan, beside Anna Hazare
On the one hand we are against physical attacks, like the one on Prashant Bhushan, whatever the provocation. But, unfortunately, the Prasanth Bhushans and Arundathi Roys of the world evoke such extreme reactions from common people owing to their "cynical", "short sighted" and "sadistic" views on critical issues related to national security. These so called upholders of secularism seem to have no time for the thousands of army, para military and police personnel who have laid down their lives, in the line of duty, fighting insurgents and anti-nationals, be it Maoists or Kashmiri terrorists. After all, these army/paramilitary/police personnel are ordinary citizens of this country, like all of us common people, simply discharging their duties in defense of the country and honestly earning their daily bread. Have any one of these pseudo secularists ever visited and comforted the bereaved families of such brave hearts ?

How could Mumbai again become a soft target after 26/11?

 by Shreya Roy

Three serial blast at hearts and minds of people
The three serial blasts which rocked India's financial capital, Mumbai on 13th july, 2011 at Zaheri Bazar, Opera House & Dadar areas in Mumbai within 6.30-7.00pm (IST) carried the trademark of Indian Mujahideen with the links of Lashkara-e-Tayiba.There was no specific target, rather the bombs were exploded to kill and wound as many citizens as possible. So far according to recent updates 18 peoples were killed & 131 injured during the city's peak hour crush.
Our Union Home Minister P.Chidambaram illustrates three serial explosion as unfortunate & advices every citizen to maintain peace. Chief Minister of Mumbai Prithviraj Chavan acknowledges that some lessons from 26/11 are yet left to be learned. Is it not enough for them to learn a lesson at this point of time?

Justice delayed for 30 years - not enough to be said as denied ?

We have always seen in movies that its really a person arrested and jailed gets justice after long terms of imprisonment. But here goes a real case that took me aback.

After more than three decades, a former Army man got a reprieve from the Bombay high court in a case of possession of live cartridges. The HC set aside his one-year prison sentence and let him off with a Rs 5,000 fine.

Laxman Jadhav (72) had been convicted under Section 25 of Arms Act, and was arrested in 1977 from his house in Sangli. Justice J. H. Bhatia set aside imprisonment keeping his age in mind.

Cash votes - now WikiLeaks says

The most stunning part was just out of any leaks that got its mirror on the face of our democracy. The claim that I got to access is about a WikiLeaks India cables that Manmohan Singh-led UPA government used cash to win trust vote in Parliament in 2008 over Indo-US nuclear deal. WikiLeaks said that five days before UPA-I faced a crucial vote of confidence in Lok Sabha, Congress leader Satish Sharma's aide Nachiketa Kapur showed a US employee two chests containing money to be used to bribe MPs

According to a report, it was said that he was part of a bigger fund of Rs 50 to 60 crore that the Congress had arranged to purchase the support of  MPs for the nuclear deal.

Dr. Abdul Kalam's Letter to Every Indian

Why is the media here so negative?
Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognize our own strengths, our achievements?
We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?
We are the first in milk production.
We are number one in Remote sensing satellites.
We are the second largest producer of wheat.
We are the second largest producer of rice.
Look at Dr. Sudarshan , he has transferred the tribal village into a self-sustaining, self-driving unit.. There are millions of such achievements but our media is only obsessed in the bad news and failures and disasters.
