Jan Lokpal Bill: Why it's important ?

The Jan Lokpal Bill (Citizen's ombudsman Bill) is a draft anti-corruption bill drawn up by prominent civil society activists seeking the appointment of a Jan Lokpal, an independent body  that would investigate corruption cases, complete the investigation within a year and envisages trial in the case getting over in the next one year.

Drafted by Justice Santosh Hegde (former Supreme Court Judge and present Lokayukta of Karnataka), Prashant Bhushan (Supreme Court Lawyer) and Arvind Kejriwal (RTI activist), the draft Bill envisages a system where a corrupt person found guilty would go to jail within two years of the complaint being made and his ill-gotten wealth being confiscated. It also seeks power to the Jan Lokpal to prosecute politicians and bureaucrats without government permission.

Retired IPS officer Kiran Bedi and other known people like Swami Agnivesh, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Anna Hazare and Mallika Sarabhai are also part of the movement, called India Against Corruption. Its website describes the movement as "an expression of collective anger of people of India against corruption. We have all come together to force/request/persuade/pressurize the Government to enact the Jan Lokpal Bill. We feel that if this Bill were enacted it would create an effective deterrence against corruption."

Anna Hazare, anti-corruption crusader, began a fast-unto-death today, demanding that this bill, drafted by the civil society, be adopted. The website of the India Against Corruption movement calls the Lokpal Bill of the government an "eyewash" and has on it a critique of that government Bill. It also lists the difference between the Bills drafted by the government and civil society.

A look at the salient features of Jan Lokpal Bill:
1. An institution called LOKPAL at the centre and LOKAYUKTA in each state will be set up

2. Like Supreme Court and Election Commission, they will be completely independent of the governments. No minister or bureaucrat will be able to influence their investigations.

3. Cases against corrupt people will not linger on for years anymore: Investigations in any case will have to be completed in one year. Trial should be completed in next one year so that the corrupt politician, officer or judge is sent to jail within two years.

4. The loss that a corrupt person caused to the government will be recovered at the time of conviction.

5. How will it help a common citizen: If any work of any citizen is not done in prescribed time in any government office, Lokpal will impose financial penalty on guilty officers, which will be given as compensation to the complainant.

6. So, you could approach Lokpal if your ration card or passport or voter card is not being made or if police is not registering your case or any other work is not being done in prescribed time. Lokpal will have to get it done in a month's time. You could also report any case of corruption to Lokpal like ration being siphoned off, poor quality roads been constructed or panchayat funds being siphoned off. Lokpal will have to complete its investigations in a year, trial will be over in next one year and the guilty will go to jail within two years.

7. But won't the government appoint corrupt and weak people as Lokpal members? That won't be possible because its members will be selected by judges, citizens and constitutional authorities and not by politicians, through a completely transparent and participatory process.

8. What if some officer in Lokpal becomes corrupt? The entire functioning of Lokpal/ Lokayukta will be completely transparent. Any complaint against any officer of Lokpal shall be investigated and the officer dismissed within two months.

9. What will happen to existing anti-corruption agencies? CVC, departmental vigilance and anti-corruption branch of CBI will be merged into Lokpal. Lokpal will have complete powers and machinery to independently investigate and prosecute any officer, judge or politician.

10. It will be the duty of the Lokpal to provide protection to those who are being victimized for raising their voice against corruption.

LokPal Bill: Analysis

“Corruption will be out one day, however much one may try to conceal it: and the public
can as its right and duty, in every case of justifiable suspicion, call its servants to strict
account, dismiss them, sue them in a law court, or appoint an arbitrator or inspector to
scrutinize their conduct, as it likes.”        -Mahatma Gandhi (1928)

INTRODUCTION:

India is a country where honesty and integrity in public and private life have been glorified and
upheld in great epics such as the Vedas, Upanishads and in the books and practices of every
religion practiced here.

Yet, India today is one of the most corrupt countries in the world.

Bringing public servants under a scanner which makes them strictly accountable is the start of a
movement against corruption in India. And one significant step in attacking the spectre of
corruption in India will be the implementation of the lokpal bill.

The Indian Lokpal is synonymous to the institution of Ombudsman existing in the Scandinavian
countries. The office of the ombudsman originated in Sweden in 1809 A.D., and adopted
eventually by many nations 'as a bulwark of democratic government against the tyranny of
officialdom'. Ombudsman is a Swedish word that stands for "an officer appointed by the
legislature to handle complaints against administrative and judicial action. Traditionally the
ombudsman is appointed based on unanimity among all political parties supporting the proposal.
The incumbent, though appointed by the legislature, is an independent functionary - independent
of all the three organs of the state, but reports to the legislature. The Ombudsman can act both on

the basis of complaints made by citizens, or suo moto. She/he can look into allegations of

corruption as well as mal-administration.

The functionary is called by different names in different countries; its power and functions also
vary. In the Scandinavian countries2 (Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway) he is called the
'Ombudsman'. He can take cognizance of the citizens' grievance by either directly receiving
complaints from the public or suo moto on the basis of information provided by the interested
persons, or from newspapers, etc. However, in the U.K. the functionary - known as the
Parliamentary Commissioner - can receive complains only through members of parliament.

The ombudsmen can investigate a complaint by themselves or through any public or private
agency. After investigation, in Sweden and Finland, the Ombudsman has the power to prosecute
erring public servants; whereas in Denmark, he can only order prosecution. However, the power
of prosecution is very rarely used. The strength of the ombudsman lies in the publicity attached
to the office, and the negative view that attaches itself to all that the office scrutinises. In Sweden
and Finland, ombudsmen can also supervise the courts. In other countries, their authority is only
over the non-judicial public servants. In almost all the cases they deal with complaints relating to
both corruption and mal-administration.
 

HISTORY:

The misdeeds committed during the Emergency remind us of the necessity of including the PM

within the purview of the Lokpal.

The basic idea of the LokPal is borrowed from the office of ombudsman, which has played an

effective role in checking corruption and wrong-doing in Scandinavian and other nations.3

In early 1960s, mounting corruption in public administration set the winds blowing in favour of

an Ombudsman in India too.

The Administrative Reforms Commission (ARC) set up in 1966 recommended the constitution
of a two-tier machinery - of a Lokpal at the Centre, and Lokayukt(a)s in the states.4 The ARC
while recommending the constitution of Lokpal was convinced that such an institution was
justified not only for removing the sense of injustice from the minds of adversely affected
citizens but also necessary to instill public confidence in the efficiency of administrative
machinery. Following this, the Lokpal Bill was for the first time presented during the fourth Lok
Sabha in 1968, and was passed there in 1969.

However, while it was pending in the Rajya Sabha, the Lok Sabha was dissolved, resulting the first death of the bill. The bill was revived in 1971, 1977, 1985, 1989, 1996, 1998, 2001, 2005 and most recently in 2008.

Each time, after the bill was introduced to the house, it was referred to some committee for
improvements - a joint committee of parliament, or a departmental standing committee of the
Home Ministry - and before the government could take a final stand on the issue the house was
dissolved.

There are as many as 17 states where the institution of Lokayukta has been constituted,
beginning with Orissa in 1971. However the power, function and jurisdiction of Lokayuktas are
not uniform in the country

In some States it has been applicable to all the elected representatives including the CM. in some other states legislators have been deliberately kept out of his purview. Often, lacunae have been left in legislation creating the office, apparently to keep the elected representatives outside meaningful jurisdiction of the Lokayukta, even when the laws appear to include them. Lokayuktas have not been provided with their independent investigate machinery making them dependent on government agencies, which leaves enough scope for the politicians and the bureaucrats to tinker with the processes of investigation.

Objectives of the Bill:

The lokpal was visualized as watchdog institution on ministerial probity. Broadly the provision of different bills empowered the lokpal to investigate corruption cases against political persons at the Central level. Some important features of the Lokpal Bill have varied over the years; in its most recent avatar, the bill contains the following.

• The main objective is to provide speedy, cheaper from of justice to people.

• Members:

Lokpal is to be a three member body with a chairperson who is or has been a chief
justice or judge of the Supreme Court; and its two other members who are or have been
judges or chief justices of high courts around the country.

• Appointment:

The chairperson and members shall be appointed by the President by warrant under his
hand and seal on the recommendation of a committee consisting of the following persons.
It's not clear whether the committee has to make a unanimous decision or a majority
decision will do. (a) The Vice-President (Chairman) (b) The PM (c) The Speaker of LS
(d) Home Minister (e) Leader of the House, other than the house in which PM is a
member. (f) Leaders of Opposition of both the houses.

• Independence of the Office:

In order to ensure the independence of functioning of the august office, the following provisions have been incorporated.

- Appointment is to be made on the recommendation of a committee.

- The Lokpal is ineligible to hold any office of profit under Government of India or

of any state, or similar such posts after retirement.

- Fixed tenure of three years and can be removed only on the ground of proven

misbehaviour or incapacity after an inquiry made by CJI and two senior most

judges of SC.

- Lokpal will have its own administrative machinery for conducting investigations.

- Salary of Lokpal is to be charged on the Consolidated Fund of India.

• Jurisdiction of Lokpal:

- The central level political functionaries like the Council of Ministers including the

Prime Minister, the Members of Parliament etc.

- He cannot inquire into any allegation against the PM in relation to latter's functions of national security and public order.

- Complaints of offence committed within 10 years from the date of complaint can be taken up for investigation, not beyond this period.

• Any person other than a public servant can make a complaint. The Lokpal is supposed to complete the inquiry within a period of six months. The Lokpal has the power of a civil court to summon any person or authority. After investigation, the ombudsman can only recommend actions to be taken by the competent authority. A number of safeguards have been taken to discourage false complains or complain of malafide intent.

• He can order search and seizure operations.

• He shall present annually to the President the reports of investigation and the latter with

the action take report has to put it before the both houses of parliament.

It may be noted that the Lokpal is supposed to investigate cases of corruption only, and not
address himself to redressing grievances in respect of injustices and hardship caused by
maladministration.

THE CURRENT SITUATION :

Very recently a highly discouraging phenomenon has come to light, that is, the prevalence of

corruption in the subordinate courts and even in High Courts. Probably due to this, the present

government has planned to bring the Judiciary within the purview of Lok pal; this is one reason
why the Bill has been referred to the Group of Ministers. However given the history of Lok pal
bill, there is a constant risk that the bill will simply lapse because no conclusion is reached
within the life of this LokSabha!

The political fraternity is understandably opposed to a Lok pal, since the purported target of the Lokpal is mainly the politicians themselves. The publicly stated reason for the current delay is that some important issues are as yet unresolved.6

CONCLUSION:

In the regular dispensation of government there are implicit and explicit ways that citizens can
voice their grievances and demand change. But these are often difficult. Within administrative
departments, for example, any decision of one official can be appealed to a higher official, all the
way up to the head of a department. However, this mechanism has inherent flaws. Higher officers enjoy departmental fraternity with those against whom complaints are made, and both
sail the same boat. Therefore their impartiality in judging appeals is always doubted. On the
legislative side, an individual can approach the member representing his constituency for his
demands. But given the absence of easy access of an ordinary citizen to his representative, this
has more remained a myth more than reality. Among the organs of state, the Judiciary has
proved itself to have highest credibility in protecting individual rights. However, due to
procedural complexities involved in court cases - right from filing a case to the delivery of final
verdict - there are inevitable delays of justice, which often are also denial of justice.

The existing devices for checks on elected and administrative officials have not been effective,
as the growing instances of corruption cases suggest. The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC)
is designed to inquire into allegations of corruption by administrative officials only. The CBI, the
premier investigating agency of the country, functions under the supervision of the Ministry of
Personnel, Public grievances and Pensions (under the Prime Minister) and is therefore not
immune from political pressures during investigation. Indeed, the lack of independence and
professionalism of CBI has been castigated by the Supreme Court often in recent times. All these
have necessitated the creation of Lokpal with its own investigating team in earliest possible
occasion.

Therefore, there is a need for a mechanism that would adopt very simple, independent, speedy and cheaper means of delivering justice by redressing the grievances of the people. Examples from various countries suggest that the institution of ombudsman has very successfully fought against corruption and unscrupulous administrative decisions by public servants, and acted as a real guardian of democracy and civil rights.

Jawahar Lal Nehru: A Real Story

At the very beginning of his book,'The Nehru Dynasty',Astrologer K.N. Rao mentions the names of Jawaharlal's father and grandfather. Jawaharlal's father was believed to be Motilal and Motilal's father was one Gangadhar Nehru.
We all know that Jawaharlal's only daughter was Indira Priyadarshini Nehru; Kamala Nehru was her mother, who died in Switzerland of tuberculosis. She was totally against Indira's proposed marriage with Feroze.

Why? No one tells us that!

Now, who is this Feroze? We are told by many that he was the son of the family grocer. The grocer supplied wines, etc.. to Anand Bhavan (previously known as Ishrat Manzil)

What was the family grocer's name?

One frequently hears that Rajiv Gandhi's grandfather was Pandit Nehru. But then we all know that everyone has two grandfathers, the paternal and the maternal grandfathers.
In fact, the paternal grandfather is deemed to be the more important grandfather in most societies.

Why is it then, nowhere, we find Rajiv Gandhi's paternal grandfather' s name? It appears that the reason is simply. Rajiv Gandhi's paternal grandfather was a Muslim gentleman from the Junagadh area of Gujarat .

This Muslim grocer by the name of Nawab Khan, had married a Parsi woman after converting her to Islam.
This is the source where from the myth of Rajiv being a Parsi was derived. Rajiv's father Feroze, was Feroze Khan before he married Indira, against Kamala Nehru's wishes.
Feroze's mother's family name was Ghandy, often associated with Parsis and this was changed to Gandhi, sometime before his wedding with Indira, by an affidavit.
The fact of the matter is that (and this fact can be found in many writings) Indira was very lonely. Chased out of the Shantiniketan University by Guru Dev Rabindranath himself for misdemeanour, the lonely girl was all by herself, while father Jawaharlal was busy with politics, pretty women and illicit sex, the mother was in hospital.
Feroze Khan, the grocer's son was then in England and he was quite sympathetic to Indira and soon enough she changed her religion, became a Muslim woman and married Feroze Khan in a London mosque.

Nehru was not happy, Kamala was dead already or dying. The news of this marriage eventually reached Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (better known as Mahatma Gandhi) .
andhi urgently called Nehru and practically ordered him to ask the young man to change his name from Khan to Gandhi. It had nothing to do with change of religion, from Islam to Hinduism for instance. It was just a case of a change of name by an affidavit. And so Feroze Khan became Feroze Gandhi.

The surprising thing is that the apostle of truth, the old man soon to be declared India 's Mahatma and the 'Father of the Nation' didn't mention this game of his in the famous book, 'My Experiments with Truth'. Why?

When they returned to India , a mock 'Vedic marriage' was instituted for public consumption.
On this subject, writes M.O. Mathai (a long-time Private Secretary of Nehru) in his renowned (but now suppressed by the GOI! ) 'Reminiscences of the Nehru Age' on page 94, second paragraph: ' For some inexplicable reason, Nehru allowed the marriage to be performed according to Vedic rites in 1942. An inter-religious and inter-caste marriage under Vedic rites at that time was not valid in law. To be legal, it had to be a civil marriage .'

It's a known fact that after Rajiv's birth Indira and Feroze lived separately, but they were not divorced. Feroze used to harass Nehru frequently for money and also interfere in Nehru's political activities. Nehru got fed up and left instructions not to allow him into the Prime Minister's residence Trimurthi Bhavan.

Mathai writes that the death of Feroze came as a relief to Nehru and Indira. The death of Feroze in 1960 before he could consolidate his own political forces, is itself a mystery. Feroze had even planned to remarry.

Those who try to keep tabs on our leaders in spite of all the suppressions and deliberate misinformation, are aware of the fact that the second son of Indira (or Mrs .Feroze Khan) known as Sanjay Gandhi was not the son of Feroze. He was the son of another Muslim gentleman, Mohammad Yunus.

Here in passing, we might mention that the second son was originally named Sanjiv. It rhymed with Rajiv, the elder brother's name. It was changed to Sanjay when he was arrested by the British police in England and his passport impounded, for having stolen a car.
Krishna Menon was then India 's High Commissioner in London . He offered to issue another passport to the felon who changed his name to Sanjay. Incidentally, Sanjay's marriage with the Sikh girl Menaka (now they call her Maneka for Indira Gandhi found the name of mythological Lord Indra's Court dancer rather offensive !!) took place quite surprisingly in Mohammad Yunus's house in New Delhi
The marriage with Menaka who was a model (She had model for Bombay Dyeing wearing just a towel) was not so ordinary either. Sanjay was notorious in getting unwed young women pregnant. Menaka too was rendered pregnant by Sanjay.

It was then that her father, Colonel Anand, threatened Sanjay with dire consequences if he did not marry her daughter and that did the trick.

Sanjay married Menaka. It was widely reported in Delhi at the time that Mohammad Yunus was unhappy at the marriage of Sanjay with Menaka. Apparently he had wanted to get him married with a Muslim girl of his choice. It was Mohammad Yunus who cried the most when Sanjay died in the plane accident.

In Yunus's book, 'Persons, Passions & Politics' one discovers that baby Sanjay had been circumcised following Islamic custom, although the reason stated was phimosis. It was always believed that Sanjay used to blackmail Indira Gandhi and due to this she used to turn a blind eye when Sanjay Gandhi started to run the country as though it were his personal freedom.. Was he black mailing her with the secret of who his real father was? When the news of Sanjay's death reached Indira Gandhi, the first thing she wanted to know was about the bunch of keys which Sanjay had with him.

Nehru was no less a player in producing bastards. At least one case is very graphically described by M.O. Mathai in his 'Reminiscences of the Nehru Age', page 206.

Mathai writes:
'In the autumn of 1948 a young woman from Benares arrived in New Delhi as a sanyasini named Shraddha Mata (an assumed and not a real name). She was a Sanskrit scholar well versed in the ancient Indian scriptures and mythology. People, including MPs, thronged to her to hear her discourses. One day S.D. Upadhyaya, Nehru's old employee, brought a letter in Hindi from Shraddha Mata. Nehru gave her an interview in the PM's house. As she departed, I noticed (Mathai is speaking here) that she was young, shapely and beautiful. Meetings of Nehru with her became rather frequent, mostly after he finished his work at night. During one of Nehru's visits to Lucknow , Shraddha Mata turned up there and Upadhyaya brought a letter from her as usual. Nehru sent her the reply and she visited Nehru at midnight...' Suddenly Shraddha Mata disappeared.

In November 1949 a convent in Bangalore sent a decent looking person to Delhi with a bundle of letters. He said that a young woman from northern India arrived at the convent a few months ago and gave birth to a baby boy. She refused to divulge her name or give any particulars about herself. She left the convent as soon as she was well enough to move out but left the child behind.

She however forgot to take with her a small cloth bundle in which, among other things, several letters in Hindi were found. The Mother Superior, who was a foreigner, had the letters examined and was told they were from the Prime Minister.

The person who brought the letters surrendered them...'I (Mathai) made discreet inquiries repeatedly about the boy but failed to get a clue about his whereabouts. Convents in such matters are extremely tight-lipped and secretive.

Had I succeeded in locating the boy, I would have adopted him. He must have grown up as a Catholic Christian blissfully ignorant of who his father was.'

Coming back to Rajiv Gandhi, we all know now that he changed his so called Parsi religion to become a Catholic to marry Sania Maino of Turin , Italy . Rajiv became Roberto. His daughter's name is Bianca and son's name is Raul. Quite cleverly the same names are presented to the people of India as Priyanka and Rahul.

What is amazing is the extent of our people's ignorance in such matters. The press conference that Rajiv Gandhi gave in London after taking over as Prime minister of India was very informative. In this press conference, Rajiv boasted that he was NOT a Hindu but a Parsi. Mind you, speaking of the Parsi religion, he had no Parsi ancestor at all. His grandmother (father's mother) had turned Muslim after having abandoned the Parsi religion to marry Nawab Khan.

It is the western press that waged a blitz of misinformation on behalf of Rajiv. From the New York Times to the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post, the big guns raised Rajiv to heaven. The children's encyclopaedias recorded that Rajiv was a qualified Mechanical Engineer from the revered University of Cambridge . No doubt US kids are among the most misinformed in the world today! The reality is that in all three years of his tenure at that University Rajiv had not passed a single exam. He had therefore to leave Cambridge without a certificate.

Sonia too had the same benevolent treatment. She was stated to be a student in Cambridge . Such a description is calculated to mislead Indians. She was a student in Cambridge all right, but not of the University of Cambridge , but of one of those fly by night language schools where foreign students come to learn English. Sonia was working as an 'au pair' girl in Cambridge and trying to learn English at the same time. And surprise of surprises, Rajiv was even cremated as per Vedic rites in full view of India's public.
This is the Nehru dynasty that India worships and now a foreigner leads a prestigious national party because of just one qualification being married into the Nehru family. Maneka Gandhi, though Indian, herself is being accepted by the non-Congress parties not because she was a former model or an animal lover, but for her links to the Nehru family.

Saying that an Italian (or any foreigner) should not lead India will amount to narrow mindedness, but if Sania Maino (now Sonia) had served India like, say, Mother Teresa or Annie Besant, i.e. in any wayon her own rights, then all Indians should be proud of her just as how proud we are of Mother Teresa.

OR
Saying that any other party which comes to rule India is better is again equally worse.

The point is Indians who nominate the people to stand in these elections; and the people who vote their rulers (i.e. the authorities) must know that truth eventually come out some day. Don't allow the famous land of India (our motherland) to be looked down by others

KASHMIRIYAT : What Exactly Is That?

Kashmir is again a hot spot. On the roads of Srinagar CRPF jawans are shooting dead the Kashmiri youth and when the CRPF jawan is put at bay, he is getting mercilessly lynched by Kashmiri youths. On the screen of TV, we are daily observing scores of Kashmiri teen agers hurling stones at our security forces. Those stones have become a highly potent murderous weapon, much worse than guns and bombs. Army had to be called in. So, in Kashmir PEACE is now elusive. Mother India will keep on bleeding white from this vicious wound called Kashmir.

Even amidst this painful process, something else can't be overlooked. The central minister and Congress leader Mani Shankar Ayer is clearly blaming the security forces on TV screen. He is telling that CRPF should exercise more restraint while dealing with the teen agers. The secretary of his home ministry on the other hand states that CRPF is exercising utmost restraint. Is this a mere dichotomy of thinking or is it a double standard pandering to a sinister political design? It is not clear as to what is the real opinion of the central Govt. albeit it's de facto controller Madam Sonia Gandhi. Mufti, Jeelani, Gilani, Yasin and the likes are always castigating the security forces. The real perpetrators of this conspiracy from Pakistan are however fully relishing this.

Investigation has revealed that the militant organizations in Pakistan are funding this whole activity of stone throwing demonstrations. This fund is channeled by ISI and this infamous body is the de facto controller of Govt. of Pakistan. Their sinister plan is gradually moving towards a total success and that needs to be thwarted by any means.

After the Jihadist attack in Mumbai on 26/11/ 2008, Govt. of India showed some apparently angry stance regarding their dialogue with Pakistan. That period of utter hypocrisy is now over. Again period of dialogue has set in. Pakistan as usual is adhering to Ayub Khan's policy of 'Thousand Cuts'. Sometimes this manifestation is in the form of Grenade or AK 47 in the hands of Kassav, sometimes it is in the form of stone throwing Kashmiri Adolescents.

After every dialogue, all the Pakistani leaders are harping on only one point. That is Kashmir. Kashmir is the main problem. Once the Kashmir problem gets solved, India Pakistan friendship would be a cakewalk. However, history from immemorial has proved that subjugation to appeasement leads to further Islamic expansionism and in lieu of a mitigator it acts as a catalyst aggravator. This very same idea of Pakistani leaders gets echoed by the extremist, secessionist leaders of Kashmir. A perfect resonance between these secessionist and Pakistani leaders.

So, we need to contemplate on Kashmir. What is the main problem revolving around Kashmir? Before we get into this main problem, let us highlight some important facts about Kashmir.

The name of the state is Jammu & Kashmir, '' J & K" in short. It is a Muslim majority state. The inhabitants of this state can buy land in any other Indian state, can permanently settle there and carry out any commercial activity. But, on the contrary, no Indian citizen from any other state, not even the President and Prime Minister of India can buy an iota of land in Kashmir. Indian constitution has conferred this special provision for Kashmir. This is known as article 370.This only applicable to the state of J & K and not for any other state in India. Be patient, my dear reader. More is yet to come. All citizens of India are Indian citizens but for Kashmir the case is different. There principle of Dual citizenship applies. Indian citizenship as well as State Citizenship. This later is completely under the jurisdiction of the state. That is a state subject. So, J & K STATE CONFERS THIS CITIZENSHIP, not the central govt., not the home ministry, not the election commission of India. This dual citizenship is protected by section 370.This is the very article for abrogation of which Shyama Prasaad Mukherjee sacrificed his life---' Ek Nishan' , 'Ek Bidhan', 'Ek Pradhan', i.e. --- One Flag, One Constitution, One Head.

Owing to this article lakhs of Hindu lead a cursed life in J&K.

After partition of India in 1947, Manmohan Singh & Advani fled from Pakistan (or rather hounded out) and became Prime Minister and Home Minister of India. But Hindu and Sikh refugees who settled in J& K became Indian citizens but could not get state citizenship. They are entitled to vote in the parliamentary election of India but not lucky enough to exercise their franchise for the state assembly. This is the contribution of article 370. There are more to consume, my dear reader. No law passed in the parliament of India can be put in force in J&K unless and until the same gets passed in the state legislative assembly. So, this is a country within another country, a state within another state, a federal structure within a federal structure. The person, the chief architect of this wonderful arrangement is tragically a Kashmiri Brahmin, JAWAHARLAL NEHRU by name. An irony of fate! A real irony! His lust and affinity for a British lady has cost the country such a terrible price, a nightmare, a cancerous malignant growth, a gangrenous wound.

It is not only this article 370. It is not only this vexing issue of ' country within a country'. This state is just a parasite for rest of India. Rice, wheat, sugar salt, pulse----and all other essential items have to be provided to the state at a huge subsidy. Many other facilities and amenities are provided to the state at the cost of rest of India. Kashmir is just a sucking needle from the economic blood stream of India.

Even after so much of appeasement, Kashmir could not be won over. To keep Kashmir within India and make it an integral part thereof, more than half a million of Indian soldiers and security forces are deployed over there. We are presenting them rice, wheat and every sort of material and financial support. In return, they do present us back 3.5 lakhs HINDU REFUGEES and every week minimum 5 corpses of Indian soldiers.

Now, let me disclose what the real problem of Kashmir is! They say, I mean the Kashmiri Muslims say that Kashmir is a special place. It is the real heaven on the earth. Nature (in their doctrine-- Allahtala) has prepared it with special touch. The soil, water, climate, environment---everything is distinct here, very different from India. So, the culture of Kashmir as a whole is different from the culture of rest of India. They have named this culture as Kashmiriyat. This culture is priceless, very soft and tender and touchy and can be trampled by anything exogeneous. So, this special culture has to be preserved at any cost and for that purpose freedom for Kashmir is a must. Azad Kashmir is a must. The inference is very simple, Kashmiris are not Indians, they are a different nation. My dear reader--" Are you not hearing the Echo of Jinnah's demands in this?”

One section of them is of the opinion that Kashmir be snatched away from India and ceded to Pakistan. Therein lays total satisfaction of their soul. However, imperialist India is just not letting it happen. So, at least, autonomy is needed to preserve this 'Kashmiriyat'.

Let us now delve into what this Kashmiriyat actually stands for. If the special climate or atmosphere imparts some special characteristics to the populace over there, then those traits would be shared by one and all over there irrespective of their language or religion. Those characteristics are collectively known as the culture of that place and the older the inhabitants stay there over generations the more deep rooted the culture would get inculcated.

History tells us already as to who are living in Kashmir from the yore, who have an older lineage? The Hindus or the Muslims. Kashmir has been named after the great sage Kshyap. During the period of Kashyap Muni, Muslims were neither in Kashmir nor anywhere else on the earth. The very age-old pilgrimage in Kashmir is Amarnath where God Shiva narrated Goddess Parvati the theory of immortality. Even today lakhs of Hindus pay pilgrimage to Amarnath. Were the Muslims present at that time when these anecdotes were in place or when this pilgrimage started? Who composed and created those anecdotes? Were they not Hindus? The old history of Kashmir 'Rajtarangini' was written by the great historian Kalhan. Were the Muslims present then? Amarnath is situated in the district of Anantnag. Is this Anantnag not referred to in the Vedas and Purans? Has this Anantnag got any reference in Koran and Hadees? Is Anantnag outside the purview of Kashmiri culture? These so called proponents of Kashmiriyat have changed the name of Anantnag and have written everywhere instead 'Islamabad'. So, Islamabad is now a part of Kashmiriyat. In the history of Kashmir --- which is older 'Anantnag' or 'Islamabad'?

In Srinagar, on the banks of Dal Lake high atop the hill lies the old temple of Shankaracharya. In Punch Bura Amarnath temple, in Jammu the world famous Vaishnodevi, Raghunath temple, Kheerbhavani temple etc. date back more than thousand years. Vedic hymns are chanted in these temples over thousand years. These are part and parcel of Kashmiri culture; these are embedded in Kashmiri culture over thousands of years. Stepping these aside and ignoring these basic tenets of Kashmiri culture, the proponents of Kashmiriyat are emphasizing on beard, phase cap, veil, namaj, azan, nara-e-takdir etc. which have descended much later into the soils of Kashmir.

If Kashmiri culture is so dependent on climatic pleasure or topographic serene beauty, then why the sons of soil of Kashmir from time immemorial, the HINDUS, were tortured psychologically and physically and ultimately kicked out of Kashmir? Why more than three thousand temples in Kashmir were reduced to rubbles? If Kashmiriyat be an exclusive cultural identity, then why the proponents of Kashmiriyat are so hand in glove with the Pakistanis? Why the Kashmiri youth get terrorist training in militant camps in Pakistan and bomb innocent Indian citizens in Delhi and other places? Is it Kashmiriyat?

Yes, my dear friend, this is exactly what so called Kashmiriyat stands for. This name is a big hoax, an out and out bluff, a deception, a chicanery. I repeat this is but a master bluff. If you peel off the cover, you would come to know its true identity. This is but PURE ISLAMIYAT. True to the tradition of pure Islamiyat, the non-Muslims are hunted out there. That is the reason why the original sons of the soil, Kashmiri Pandits find no place in their ancestral home and hearth. Over more than 20 years, they are stacked in refugee camps in Delhi and Jammu. Kashmiriyat is a mask for Islamiyat. Time is now ripe to expose the true nature of Kashmiriyat to the entire world.

The way Islamiyat is breeding terror all over the world, perpetrating communal frenzy over all hues of Non-Muslims in all its ramifications as and when the situation suits to their evil, sinister spirit. The same way this proponent of Islamiyat in the guise of Kashmiriyat is bleeding Kashmir white. If they are appeased further, they would turn or at least attempt to turn the rest of India the same way. We just can't allow this to happen. We have to resist this sinister design emanating from Islamiyat by all means. We can't afford to allow India to go Kashmir way; we have to Indianize Kashmir.

In order to attain the above goal, we need to make bare the mask of Kashmiriyat which is but hard core Islamiyat. We need to deal with the Islamiyat with an iron fist. We need a non-hypocrite political approach, a transparent outlook and firm determination. It is the iron will that will carry us through and absence of which will make our enemies triumphant and long cherished dream of Islamiyat will come true.

Our clear cut guidelines will be as follows:-

* To annul all special rights and privileges for J&K.

* To abrogate article 370 without any further delay

*The retired army personnel from all over India should settle in Kashmir.

*To change the demography of Kashmir.

*Those who speak of cessation should be put behind the bar.

*All Pakistani agents should be put to death.

* To rehabilitate all Kashmiri Pundits. (3.5 lakhs of them are already in refugee camps).

* To reconstruct all destroyed temples at the hands of these Jihadists. (More than 3000 destroyed).

*To arm all Hindus in Kashmir valley at Govt. initiative.

Our Shyama Prasad Mukherjee made a supreme sacrifice at the altar of motherland to fight out the separatist and divisive forces in Kashmir. We shall never and never allow his sacred blood to go waste. Kashmir named under the great Kashyap Muni, Kashmir that beholds Amarnath, Kashmir that beholds Anantnag was, is and shall be an integral part of India

Shame of India: Dinhata

Dinhata is a small town in the district of Coochbehar, West Bengal and from the incident that took place in this town on December 6, 2009, regarding the visit of Peyarada (the nickname of Hussein Muhammad Ersad, the ex-military dictator and the President of Bangladesh; literally means ‘beloved elder brother’), it seemed that the Hindus of this place, or rather of the entire state of West Bengal, have lost their rationality and common sense. It seemed that there was not a single soul who could see the truth. Dinhata is the native place of Peyarada, who went to East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) after partition in 1947, and on Dec 6, last year, he returned to Dinhata after 34 years. He is now 79 and will be 80 on Feb 1, 2010. It appeared that the Hindus of Dinhata were far more eager to greet their Peyarada than Peyarada was to meet the people of his place of birth.

A report appeared in the December 7, 2009 edition of Dainik Statesman, a Kolkata based Bengali daily, said, “Escorted by tight security, the son of the town entered his native place amidst greetings by thousand hilarious Hindus. As soon as he got out of the car, he was encircled by the reporters. Before the crowd of onlookers, their dear Peyarada moved towards his ancestral home, while the crowd continued showering their good wishes and shouting slogans. A stage was set up at the entrance of the house where Ershad received the greetings from the crowd and replied his good wishes to them.” The reporter Subhas Mandal of the Dainik Statesman continued his idiotic narration – “In the heavily crowded press conference, dear Peyarada, the glorious son of Dinhata, the ex-President of Bangladesh, said that he would continue his efforts to build up a close and friendly relation between India and Bangladesh.

It has been mentioned above that this dear Peyarada, the son of Dinhata, is no other than Hussain Muhammad Ershad, the ex-army chief, the military dictator and the President of Bangladesh. His ancestral house is still standing there in Dinhata, though he was born on February 1, 1930 in his maternal uncle’s house in Rangpur, in the undivided Bengal. He spent his childhood in Dinhata and passed the Matriculation Examination from a Dinhata school. Later on, in the wake of partition and creation of Pakistan in 1947, his family decided to move to the holy land of Pakistan, a Dar-ul-Islam as muhajir leaving India, a dar-ul-harb. The Hindus of Diahata do not have sufficient grey matter in their brains to understand the Muslim psyche of H M Ershad and his family that considers the call of Islam far more precious than the call of the motherland. It should be mentioned here that the ex-military general and ex-president of Pakistan Musherof Hussain is also a muhajir in Pakistan.

It is now well known that the war at Kargil was one of the most treacherous back-stabbing inflicted by Musharraf against India. Similarly the educated and conscious people of the world are also acquainted with the treachery misdeeds committed by H M Ershad againstIndia, particularly against the Hindus. But it seems that there is not a single Hindu in Dinhata who is aware of those treacherous activities of Ershad. One should recall that the Indian soldiers, by their blood, earned freedom for the people of Bangladesh from the clutch of Pakistanin 1970. But it was the dear Peyarada or H M Ershad of Dinhata, who after assuming the office of president of Bangladesh in 1988, made Islam the state religion of the country and thus by the stroke of the pen, converted the entire Hindu population of Bangladesh into second grade citizens, deprived them of minimum civic rights and turned them into targets of religious persecution and victims of the fanatic majority Muslims. In other words, the entire Hindu community of Bangladesh has been degraded to the status of Dhimmis. So, it is extremely ridiculous when that culprit says that he is trying to improve relation between India and Bangladesh. If this culprit is projected as a pride of Dinhata, then Dinhata is a shame for India.

In this context, another aspect of vital importance should be pointed out here. In 1947, Ershad alone went to East Pakistan, while his brothers and others relatives stayed back in India and his properties were protected by the Indian Constitution. On the contrary, the millions of Hindus who were fallen victims of severe religious persecution and ethnic cleansing and were compelled to leave East Pakistan (and today’s Bangladesh) to save their lives, their properties were declared ‘enemy properties’ by the government of Pakistan and grabbed by the Muslims of East Pakistan or Bangladesh. Even the other members of a Hindu household, one of whom had shifted to India, were designated as enemies of the government and properties confiscated. In most of the cases, they had to sell their properties in throw away price and come to India to save their lives and the honour of their women. So, the Hindus, who were compelled to leave East Pakistan or Bangladesh, were treated as enemies but H M Ershad, who left India for the sake of Islam, is being treated as the ‘son of the soil of Dinhata’, ‘dear Peyarada’ and the ‘pride of Dinhata’.

It really amazing that most of the Hindus of Dinhata, who are gleefully celebrating the visit of Ershad to Dinhata, had come to India as refugees after being kicked out ofEast Pakistan or Bangladesh. Following Shibaprasad Roy, these people are severely running short of common sense and it seems that even God Almighty shall not be able to prevent them from turning refugee again. It is a shame that the Hindu refugees of Dinhata, who came to Indiaafter losing their properties to the Muslims, are now performing the sacred task of protecting the properties of Muslims like H M Ershad.

According to a press report, Udayan Guha, the son of Kamal Guha, a leader of the Forward Bloc, the political party founded by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, sought the blessings of Ershad by touching his feet (a Hindu style to paying respect), on the occasion. In fact, this Kamal Guha & Co are extremely dishonest politicians and they are utilizing the name of patriotic personality of Netaji to gain political mileage in one hand and, on the other, collaborating with the traitor and treacherous Communists, who once described Netaji as quisling ofJapan and a dog of Tojo, to taste the honey of power. These hypocrites display the photograph of Netaji to pay their sham respect to him and at the same time have handed over the Forward Bloc Party to the enemies of the nation like Kalimuddin Shams and others. In this context, one should recall that these treacherous Muslim political leaders like Kalimuddin Shams helped millions of illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators getting ration cards so that their names could be enlisted in the voters’ list. In other words, turning the illegal Bangladeshi infiltrations into legal citizens of India.

One should also recall that Robin Ghosh, another leader of the Forward Bloc and the MLA from the Uluberia constituency, in another occasion, stopped the Mumbai Express with a mob of 5000 Muslims and released 100 Bangladeshi infiltrators who were being brought to Kolkata by the Maharastra police and set them free. It seems that there is no law in the country to impede these outrageous activities of Kamal Guha, Robin Ghosh and co and courts and legal system of this country exists only to harass the members of the patriotic Hindu organizations. The reader should also recall that, in another occasion, this Kamal Guha and his goons snatched away the microphone of Manomohan Roy, a social worker of RSS, who was holding a meeting at Dinhata to arouse public awareness about the danger of Bangladeshi Muslim infiltrators at Dinhata. From the above narrations it becomes evident that the political party called the Forward Bloc is at present has been turned into an organization to blacken the name of Netaji and is causing much more harm to the Hindus than the infamous Indian Union of Muslim League. So it is not difficult to understand why Udayan Guha, the son of Kamal Guha would play fuss with H M Ershad at Dinhata.

But what is more astonishing is the behaviour of the common Hindus of Dinhata. Neither they raised any slogan like ‘Down with H M Ershad’ and nor they tried to throw a shoe to him. No one, during the over crowded press conference, asked him – “What motivated you to declare Islam as the state religion of Bangladesh and thus turning a seemingly secular country into a country of mediaeval Islamic fanaticism?” Nobody asked him – “You came to power as a military dictator and consequently declared yourself the President of Bangladesh. So you assumed the office of the President of Bangladesh through an undemocratic process, and hence you had no moral or ethical right to alter the constitution of Bangladesh. Then how could you take such a step that reduced the status of Bangladeshi Hindus to dhimmis? And how many years it would take for Bangladesh to redress your misdeed? Or could ever be possible to reverse that pernicious act?”

We may now turn to another aspect of the report that appeared in press. It has been reported that Ershad came to Dinhata with his 9-year-old son Eric. It has been pointed out above that Ershad is running 79 years 9 months and hence his son Eric was born when he was more that 70 years old. So it becomes evident that he has served Islam faithfully, in swelling the Muslim population up to the age of 70. This reflects his personal contribution to step up the Muslim population, the effort that has raised the same to 34.54 per cent in Dinhata block (both 1 and 2), 24.24 per cent in the Coochbihar district and 75.00 per cent in the adjacent district of Dhubri inAssam. One should also note that the above estimates are according to the Census Report of 2001 and today these figures have become still higher. The Hindus of Dinhata should ask this pertinent question to themselves – “How long they will be able to live at Dinhata?”

It is a pity for the inhabitants of the West Bengal. They are offering flower bouquet, sweets and respect (by touching his feet) to a fanatic Muslim leader, a military dictator who has reduced the Hindus of a neighbouring country to second grade citizens. And at the same time, they are showering hatred and pushing out a writer of the same country who is fighting for the human rights for the Hindus of that country. The name of that great lady is Taslima Nasrin. So, there is no other way but to appreciate this secularism and one should say, “Glory, to the progressiveness of the Hindus of West Bengal and glory to their secularism”. So far, this secularism has been the other name of hypocrisy, but from the behavioral pattern of the Hindus of Dinhata, one should conclude that the said secularism has turned into a disease. So, one should write sick-ularism in stead of secularism. This has become a dreaded disease like AIDS and every sane person must keep a distance from these sick-ularists to avoid a contamination. Anyone contaminated with this disease is destined to die. So, people should be protected against this dreaded ailment. This is a kind of rabies that takes away one’s conscience and moral sense, and deludes one of his memories causing severe amnesia. It makes one to forget even serious events like raping of his mother, his wife and his sisters. So, to save the Hindu society, there is no other way but to identify and isolate these sick-ulars infected with this dreaded disease.

We may now delve into the matter a bit to seek a correct reply to the question – “Why the Hindus of Dinhata did behave so foolishly in greeting their dear Peyarada, a staunch enemy of the Hindus?” The reader may recall that the recent Assembly Election in the state of Jharkhand, the result was indecisive. No single party got simple majority required to form a government. At this moment of crisis, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) supported the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), the political party led by Sibu Soren, and formed a coalition government. This Sibu Soren, once regarded as the teacher and guide of the tribal people, was later on convicted in several cases of political murder and sentenced to life imprisonment, but ultimately acquitted by the Supreme Court. In 1992, he was also convicted of taking bribe from the then Congress Prime Minister Narasimha Rao for extending his support and thus saving Rao’s government from an imminent collapse.

These facts and figures were more than enough to identify Sibu Soren as one of the most dishonest and criminal politicians of the country. At that time, BJP was too vocal against him and aroused nationwide condemnation. But now, the same BJP came forward to support him and form a coalition government with him, as mentioned above. The incident had inspired the political observers of India to paint BJP as an immoral, power-hungry and opportunist party. Though the allegations were correct, we should not raise my fingers towards BJP. Had BJP refrained from supporting JMM, would there been an honest government come up in Jharkhand? Perhaps not. Another immoral party would have come forward to help Sibu Soren. When all the political parties are dishonest and immoral, there is little chance for setting up an honest and moral government in any state, including Jharkhand.

We may look into the matter from a different viewpoint. Definitely, Sibu Soren was corrupt and dishonest and hence one might have declined to support him on that ground. But what is about the 18 MLAs, who had won election as candidates of JMM? Were all of them corrupt and deserve to be isolated? Even if one said that, as they had been guided and led by Sibu Soren, they were also immoral and dishonest, then what he would have said about the large number of voters who had voted them to win the election? Would it have been proper to paint these voters as immoral and corrupt and disown them? To keep the image of a party clean, BJP might have avoided to form the government with JMM. But what should have been its attitude towards this large number of voters?

Here lies the role of a truly nationalist and patriotic political party. The role of a political party is to educate the common people about politics based on principles of ethics, morality and patriotism, or to make the masses conscious about true and value based politics for achieving real good for the country and its people. During the British Raj, great patriotic leaders like Lokamanya Tilak, Madanmohan Malavya, Lala Lajpat Rai, Bepin Chandra Pal, S N Banerji, Sri Aurovindo, C R Das and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose tried their best to promote politics based on moral, ethical and patriotic principles. At that time, though the people were less educated, these honest leaders could implant the basic ideas of moral and ethical politics into the people with their influence.

But after independence, India began its journey on the road of Nehruvian politics based on top to toe hypocrisy, unbridled greed for power, cunningness, Himalayan lack of patriotism, false internationalism and lack of nationalism, revengefulness to the political opponents, fulfillment of personal ambition at the cost of national interest and so on and so forth. It is needless to say that the conspiracy involving M K Gandhi and the British Governor General Mountbatten was responsible for putting such a hypocrite and immoral person like Jawaharlal Nehru at the helm of this country which ultimately led to the ruin of the value based politics in the country. It is also true that to save the nation from the grip of this degraded and unpatriotic politics, Dr Shyama Prasad Mookherji and Dr B R Ambedkar resigned from the Nehru Cabinet and the former had to sacrifice his life in mysterious situation in Kashimir. (Many believe that the Prime Minister Nehru, to get rid of his most prominent political opponent, plotted a conspiracy with Shaikh Abdullah and assassinated Dr Mookherji).

Later on, guided by the same motive, farsighted Guruji Golwalkar, along with Shyama Prasad, Pundit Deendayal Upadhyay and Prof Balraj Madhok, formed the new political party called Bharatiya Janasangh. Steered by the farsight of Guruji, enriched with the goodwill of RSS and under the able leadership of Shyama Prasad, this new party looked for not only to contest election and acquire political power for the well-being of the nation, but also to inculcate sense of true politics free from evils among the masses and inspire in them deep love for the motherland and patriotism, and turning them into good citizens fit to carry out sacred national duties. So long, Pundit Deendayal Upadhyay was alive, the party was following the desired path. But after his assassination in 1968, the party got grossly derailed from original ideology and completely lost under the new name Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). It abandoned the difficult task of educating the common people the politics of patriotism and took up the path of petty conspiratorial politics of compromise and gaining political power. So, at present one finds little difference between the Indian National Congress of Gandhi and Nehru and BJP. Most shamefully, its leaders have relinquished the path high ideals and doing politics only for personal benefit and making money.

As a result of these developments, there is not a single organization in today’s India that can teach the people of this country the things like patriotism, national duty, in addition to what is good and what is bad for the country and who is a friend and who is foe of the nation. Once upon a time, the people of this country regarded the Rastriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) as an organization of this kind. But today, it has been so much engrossed in ongoing politics, being controlled by BJP, that it has completely lost its past glory. People today cannot trust RSS as an organization that is above the petty politics of grabbing political power.

Now, we may try to make the two ends meet. We have began with the most idiotic, ignorant and stupid behaviour, the people (or the Hindus) of Dinhata had displayed on the occasion of the visit of H M Ershad at that town. From the discussion given above, it is not difficult for the reader to understand that severe lack of political consciousness, lack to grasp the role of politics of National interest had played its role behind the aforementioned stupid behaviour of the people of Dinhata. Most importantly, who will take the responsibility of educating the masses in these aspects?

For an individual, who is little bit conscious about the goings on the country, it is not difficult to notice that media, including newspapers or television channels, has emerged as the patron of today’s system of education, may it be bad or disgraceful. People becomes conscious and forms their opinion only about those issues that are focused by the media. While the issues, though of extreme national importance, ignored by the media, people remains in the dark bout those issues. And hence they are not redressed. One should understand that the media is there not to discuss ethics but to do business, make money and thus survive stiff competition. One should also notice that, it is the skill of the media that leads the culprits of the Jessica Lal murder case to escape conviction. It is the similar skill that drags the Ruchika rape case through decades. It is also the underhand game of media leading to suspension of the Commissioner of Police of Kolkata Police in the Rezwanur suicide case and it is the insidious role of the media that motivates the government to release the dreaded terrorist Masud Azahar from Kashmir jail.

Furthermore, it is the Indian media that had once projected a sparingly educated airplane operator into a great leader to make him the Prime Minister and later on turned his widow, an Italian waitress, into a top national leader. At present, the same media is busy in turning the uneducated son of that Italian lady into a national leader of exception. On the contrary, this media is consciously suppressing the affairs of the courageous Bangladeshi lady who has launched a total war, at the risk of her life, against the most inhuman and barbaric creed called Islam. This mischievous act of the media is keeping the people of this country unaware about the heroic contributions of that Bangladeshi lady Taslima Nasrin and thus keeping them incapable to shower their sympathy and good wishes to her.

Who are running this media business? Not the highly qualified editors, or the Board of Editor, or the highly educated journalists. Like any other business, it is being run by the owners, proprietors or the Board or Directors. These are the people, who decide which piece of information is to be highlighted and which is to be suppressed, and thus guide the opinion formation of common masses. How many are they? At most 200 or so! So, public opinion, public sentiment, or in other words, the consciousness of the hoi polloi could be guided in a desired direction, if these 200 media owners could be purchased. Hence, it becomes evident that money, both domestic and foreign, is playing the ultimate role in guiding 1.12 billion people of this country, guiding their political consciousness and views.

So, there is none to educate and guide the people of this country in the right direction. As a result, corrupt political leaders like N D Tewari, Sibu Soren, Lalu Jadav, Rajib Pratap Rudy, Babubhai Kataria etc. are contesting and winning elections, and consequently forming governments. This environment of corrupt politics, lack of correct political education and lack of able leadership are influencing the people of this country, including the people of Dinhata, to behave in the most stupid and ignorant way. The existing legal system may convict and punish some offender politicians, but it cannot take up the job of educating the people. In fact, there is no short cut path to educate the masses. However, someone has to come forward and take up this responsibility.
