Diverse but United

For the success of federalism in India, it is not merely because of the clearly laid out constitutional provisions. The real success of federalism in India can be attributed to the nature of democratic politics in our country. This ensured that the spirit of federalism, respect for diversity and desire for living together became a shared ideal in our country.
If you look at the map of India when it began its journey as a democracy in 1947 and that of 2006, you will be surprised by the extent of the changes. Many old States have vanished and many new States have been created.This was done to ensure that people who spoke the same language lived in the same State. Some States were created not on the basis of language but to recognise differences based on culture, ethnicity or geography.When the demand for the formation of States on the basis of language was raised, some national
leaders feared that it would lead to the disintegration of the country. The Central Government resisted linguistic States for some time. But the experience has shown that the formation of linguistic States has actually made the country, more united. It has also made administration easier.

The vicious net ...work.

An Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer went missing from a restaurant in Rajasthan's Alwar district on Tuesday morning, leaving behind a note for his wife and son saying they should take care of themselves. Can a person responsible for governing an entire department or district be such irresponsible ?

He was said to be harassed by politicians and senior bureaucrats. Known to be an honest officer, Jain was reportedly upset over the fact that he was asked to vacate an official accommodation where he just moved in, even before an alternative accommodation was provided.Originally hailing from Haryana , this Rajasthan cadre IAS was a company secretary before joining civil service.Jain was collector and district magistrate in Karauli, Hanumangarh and Baran Districts.

This is not a first case in 2010 a UP cader IAS had quit his job because of political harassment.Recently there was a news that UP chief Minister made an officer wipe her shoes .  Regional Commissioner, Bangalore but was summarily transferred within 20 days after his posting. Vijayakumar was about to introduce a system where in the public would be allowed under the Right to Information (RTI) Act to see files without making any application between 2.30 pm and 5.30 pm on every second and fourth Tuesday of every month. He also planned to make web viewing of the file. These developments threatened many corrupt people and he was transferred just 2 days before launch of the program. ,though these are few examples where tussle can be avoided but because of ego !

Our politicians have become notorious in harassment of offices and people. Greatest blunder committed by our Constitution frameres is treating politicians who are not selected by any neutral committee as superb and even more powerful than IAS and IPS officers who have good qualification and selected by competitive commissions. How can a politicians who has no qualification and experience but only elected by people by any means be superiors? Due to this mistake country and its honest people suffer. Besides politicians during their term only must get only honorarium and not salary and perks. If this is implemented rish for political posts get reduced and only patriots enter politics.

गणेश चतुर्थी

                           
Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated from the 4th to 14th day of the bright fortnight in the month of Badrapada of Hindu calendar.  This generally corresponds to the month of September of Gregorian calendar.


Tilak, a freedom fighter, ‘created’ the community event around Ganesh Chaturthi, asking citizens to display a large idol and celebrate the festival together and in public, in an effort to circumvent a British rule that discouraged the assembly of large numbers of Indians in public.Today, the original objective – that of circumventing the British administration – does not exist. The celebrations remain, and, have indeed, become an occasion for large section.


It’s time to revisit Tilak’s vision – make the festival a celebration of culture, a reason for the community to come together and pray to the elephant-God. large idols certainly add to the sea pollution and inconvenience the average citizen more than the smaller idols do.


Anna Hazare and cricket world cup are recent themes for the idol makers this ganesh chaturthi.as plaster of paris is banned most idol makers have bought eco friendly clay or papier-mache models from Andhra Pradesh and given finishing touches based on customer demand.

the last week !

Boarded the train for Delhi at 6:15 pm . At around 9:30 pm I recalled a friend whom I have not told about my visit to Delhi so i called Rupesh had a chat and he offered me a pick up from the station the next morning .At 8;10 am i reached Rupesh's house .Rupesh and I used to work together at Lake Palace and after that came to delhi and worked for a call center and stayed together in same room .

At 1.00 Pm one of  Rupesh's  Brother in Law arrived and insisted for a drive till Ramlila Maidaan .All three of us got ready and started for the place where Anna Hazare was fasting .Rows were made to enter the ground people serving water and biscuits also food packets . Amazing was the decipline  lakhs of people managing themselves .People with Flags and Gandhi caps all around shouting slogans ,a great feeling of paitriotism .

At 3:00 pm went to DD's home and all three of us Pushkar ,Drigesh and I arranged for bottels and chicken and Rewind............... 10 years back

At 6;00 pm I met Mangal and  Sammy and partied at CP the heart of delhi .Had a good quality time at around 10:00 pm returned to DD and slept.

हजारे के साथ हजारों .....

When Anna Hazare tried to raise his voice against corruption the government tried to forcefully stop him by counter attacking and at last sent him to the jail .But the homework done by Anna and his team made the Indians realized that the old man is fighting for their cause and lakhs of people came out and protested seeing this the government have to reverse the arrest orders .

The USP of this movement in my opinion is that there is no political party  involved and this shows how Aam aadmi is keen to remove corruption which is said to be destroying the country as cancer does to the human body.Anna owes a great deal to his detainees the labels like 'second freedom struggle' and 'murder of democracy' ,Indeed ,after the government was foolish enough to chain the messiah of public morality.Mr. Hazare  is the potent symbol of public rage and frustration.

It is strongly believe that corruption is the root cause of inadequate development .The entire political class ,including the opposition ,is responsible for the public's cynicism .How can the class which takes money/bribe for simply asking a question in Parliament ,give us a lok pal the country deserve?Most of the citizen adore this corrupt system because of there laziness and coltish nature .

The government machinery and think tanks who would have used the time and energy in discussions how to make jan lokpal properly implemented are now forced to waste time in how to stop the agitation and save their face.

Main bhi Anna, tu bhi Anna, ab toh saara desh hai Anna.

                                                        


Anna Hazare and middle class India are synonym now .Any word uttered against the crusader Mr Hazare will be taken as statement against 50 million and fastest growing middle class of India who are now showing there power to the world by protesting peacefully in India .Countries like Japan and UK also had protests in favour of Anti corruption crusader.


Kisan Baburao Hazare is an activist who has been recognised for his work in developing and structuring his village Ralegan Siddhi.The government of India honoured the activist in 1992 by awarding him a Padma Bhushan award, but nine years later, the population of India has termed Hazare ‘Desh Ka Naya Gandhi’ for his successful campaign against corruption and his demand for a Lokpal Bill.


Today, tiffins will not be delivered to more than two lakh offices in Mumbai and Udaipur is also witnessing Bandh. Anna Hazare previously had to struggle for 11 years continuously against government for giving rights to citizens by making legislation for Right to Information, More Rights for the Gram Sabha, Regulating Transfers of the Government Officers, Prohibition and against Red Tapism.
Hazare staged a 98-hour hunger strike in April that led to UPA government allowing him and his supporters to help draft the new anti-corruption law, called the "Lokpal" bill.The proposed Lokpal bill creates a new ombudsman tasked with investigating and prosecuting politicians and bureaucrats, but Hazare wants the prime minister and higher judiciary to come under scrutiny.US State Departmentsaid last week that Washington counted on India "to exercise appropriate democratic restraint" when handling of anti-graft protests.


The crowds gathered to support Anna Hazare are spiritual, and there have been no incidents of violence so far in the country where political rallies turn violent easily.Supporters expressed happiness over the 73-year-old Gandhian's decision to come out from the prison complex following rounds of negotiations with the police and authorities to decide on agitation venue to undertake hunger strike.We will go with Anna and sit at Ramlila Maidan for as many days we can. We want Jan Lokpal Bill to kill this corruption "says most of the Middle class and even the Upper class along with the Uneducated who are hit proportionately with corruption .

अन्ना की वानर सेना

हम बरसो से सुनते आये है की जब जब इस धरती पर पाप बढ़ता है तब तब महापुरुष जन्म लेते है | आज लगता है वो घडी आगई है जहा हर देशवासी को लंका मे जिस तरह वनरो ने श्री राम का साथ दिया उसी प्रकार हर देशवासी अन्ना हजारे का इस आन्दोलन मे साथ दे कर अपना जीवन सार्थक करे |

ये लोग जिन्हें हमने सत्ता की बागडोर सौपी वो कुर्सी के मद मे चूर होचुके है| कल राज्यसभा मे बहेस के दौरान माननीय सिब्बल साब ने कहा "हम से भूल हो गई जो हमने एक बहार के आदमी से मदद ली आएये अब हम यह निर्नेये ले की अब किसी बहार वाले की मदद न ले" |    मै मंत्री जी से सिर्फ यह जानना चाहता हु की क्या २०१४ में वैसे हो सकता है इससे पहले ही ,चुनाव के वक़्त भी वो संसद के ५५२ लोगो से काम चला लेगे क्या तब लोगो से वोट मांगने नहीं आएगे | बहार का कौन है ,कौन भारत माँ को लूट कर विदेशो मे धन जमा जर रहा है ये आज भी आम कही जाने वाली वो जनता जान चुकी है |

अन्ना आज देश की आवाज है आम इंसान जो सदीओ से भरा हुआ था उसे गाधी जी के बाद यदि किसी ने एकजुट किया तो वो अन्ना हजारे है | देश आज अपना हक लेने के लिए उठ खड़ा हुआ है |लाठी का बल दिखा कर लोकतंत्र की हत्या हुई है | सरकार का कोई विभाग सुनवाई नहीं कर रहा क्योकि शायद घुसखोर सरकारी तंत्र बिना रिश्वत के कोई काम नहीं कर पाती है और हम अन्ना की वानर सेना के पास अब देने को सिर्फ टक्कर ही है |
