MUMBAI TERRORIST ATTACK: WE ALSO NEED A CHANGE

On 26th of Nov, the financial capital of our country i.e. MUMBAI was attacked by terrorist in 12 different places. The bloodbath continues for about 59 hrs and this time along with common people, the elite group came under the attack. So from this we can say that terrorist had already learned that they have to attack the big fish in order to attract some attention because the life of common people in INDIA is quite cheap and it is of no use to waste their effort on them. So what we have learned from this situation that even the people in highly sophisticated building with bunch of some local guards on the main door are not safe. That as a country we have no Intelligence system, no security, nothing. But what do we have. Well, we have our shameful ministers (as our HOME MINISTER MR. SHIVRAJ PATIL have no self respect and still continuing as a minister, i hope he would get sacked), senseless political system (as BJP launched different advertisement in the newspapers, want to poise this situation concerning election). In the newspapers there were loads of articles that we have to improve the situation in pak or tighten the security system etc. and channels were showing that Mumbai was still on track (along with there stupid tagline “this news was first on this channel”).But in reality we really don’t care unless that situation come up to us because we vote that same insane politician every time.

On the day when people were got killed and our brave soldiers (the only hope of our nation) were fighting, and there were people in the mall shopping. Well on one hand it is a good thing that the mumbaikars(or any part of this nation) the people are so brave but on other hand they really don’t care that how many people were killed or injured because they don’t know them personally (now a days who give a damn about being INDIAN).So in that situation where people don’t take care of each other or they have some short-term memory loss(as they forget the situation quite easily and get on track),therefore we depend on our political system which is even more worse. Ultimately where we have to go or what we to do in order to get security, education, food, shelter or anything that anyone want. That means we need a change or we have to change everything around us or even ourselves a bit. The answer to the question lies in the question itself.

Basic steps that our govt can take…..

1.) We need a FEDERAL AGENCY which can collect confidential material frm different states or sources ,collect it and then take out their operation.Govt can make this agency without taking state govt into consideration(as they can object) by passing an amendment to the constitution of INDIA.
2.)Govt has to de-centralized NSG so that each state can ve its own NSG wing.
3.)Any kind of terrorist act(possession of a weapon or helping the terrorist) has to be declared as a FEDRAL CRIME.
4.)We need special courts to deal with FEDERAL CRIMES so that the verdict can be out as soon as possible.
5.)Govt can make special laws for FEDERAL CRIMES or make an amendment in our LAW SYSTEM and make it more strict by raising it to DEATH PENALTY.

As u can see that even a common person like me ve solution(not permanent)…do u think that these politicians don’t ve these kind of sol….certainly they do…but they cant implement coz of party members or allies supporting the govt. that is the main prob in our country i.e. IMPLEMENTATION……

So ultimately the main solution to the prob is us coz we ve created it by choosing the wrong person as our representative ……..

Plz VOTE VOTE VOTE…….. carefully…….

Bajrang Dal and VHP to be banned in India?

Although it is the Maoists who claim that they killed Swami Laxmananada, the VHP (Vishwa Hindu Parishad) is convinced that it was the Christian community which was behind the Swami’s killing.

In 2002, the VHP lynched five Dalits in Haryana for following their traditional trade of leather-tanning, as revealed by a dead cow in their possession. Over a carcass, the VHP killed innocent Dalit youths in Jhajhhar.

In Gujarat, we witnessed a hate propaganda let loose by VHP against the Muslim community. It promoted anti-Muslim sentiments and this led to large-scale bloodshed in the State. Hate-mongers and preachers of violence like Praveen Bhai Togadia are responsible for inciting mass hysteria against the Muslim community in Gujarat. There are numerous documents, movies, documentaries, etc, publicly available which reveal the true colour of VHP.

Violence, triggered by the killing of Swami Laxmananada by the Maoists, has spread in the State. For the VHP, the Maoists are innocent and the Christians are the real culprits. According to VHP’s rationale, the killing of the Swami had to do with his mission of re-conversion of Hindus and the Christians therefore had a valid reason to eliminate the Swami.The VHP has totally rejected the claim of the Maoists that they killed the Swami.

The government has admitted that 558 houses and 17 churches and prayer houses have been burnt in the violence which is still continuing.
Unofficial sources claim that over 30 people have been killed in the violence in Kandhamal district alone.

Is it the time to put VHP n Bajrang Dal amg terrorist grps n totally restrict their activities ??.

In April 2006, two Bajrang Dal activists were killed in nearby Nanded in the process of bomb making. The same group of activists were also suspected for perpetrating the 2003 Parbhani mosque blasts. Those arrested later told interrogators they wanted to avenge several blasts across the country.NDTV subsequently accused the police of a coverup in Nandhed. A report by the Secular Citizen's Forum & PUCL, Nagpur claimed to have found maps of mosques at the home of one of the deceased.
The VHP leader, Praveen Togadia, was arrested in April 2003 after distributing tridents to Bajrang Dal activists in Ajmer defying ban and prohibitory orders.
The Bajrang Dal has also been involved in bombmaking accidents on August 6, 2006 in Nanded, and on August 24, 2008 in Kanpur.
Aug-Sept 2008: Spate of attacks on Christians in Orissa and Karnataka. Karnataka unit head Mahendra Kumar arrested. Home ministry says Bajrang Dal is behind the attacks.
Jan 1999 : Dal mob led by its local leader, Dara Singh, burnt alive Graham Stains and his two little sons in Orissa.
On several occasions, Dal activists have acted as moral police, catching unmarried couples on Valentine's Day and forcing them to apply sindoor or tie rakhi against their wishes.
this no way to carry out their propaganda......then there will be no difference b/w them and terrorists.......rest u decide.....
we need to look at this also.......

What do u think??

Section 49-O of the Constitution

Do you know that there is a system in our constitution, as per the 1969 act, in section "49-O" that a person can go to the polling booth,
confirm his identity, get his finger marked and convey the presiding election officer that he doesn't want to vote anyone!

Yes such a feature is available, but obviously these seemingly notorious leaders have never disclosed it. This is called "49-O".

Though 49’O is a benign provision, and would not affect the election results. But it will be a proof of our disapproval of unworthy candidates. Till now, non-participation in election is considered as silent consent. But This provision will bring our DISSENT to the surface.

This would bring fear into parties and hence look for genuine candidates for their parties for election. This would change the way, of our whole political system... it is seemingly surprising why the election commission has not revealed such a feature to the public....

Please spread this news to as many as you know... Seems to be a wonderful weapon against corrupt parties in India... show your power, expressing your desire not to vote for anybody, is even more powerful than voting... so don't miss your chance.

So either vote, or vote not to vote (vote 49-O) and pass this info on...

"Please forward this mail to as many as possible, so that we, the people of India, can really use this power to save our nation"

Use your voting right for a better INDIA.

Crisis at WALL Street's.........

The American financial system was shaken to its core...Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. filed for bankruptcy protection, and Merrill Lynch & Co. agreed to be sold to Bank of America Corp.The U.S. government, which bailed out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac a week ago and orchestrated the sale of Bear Stearns Cos. to J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. in March, played much tougher with Lehman. It refused to provide a financial backstop to potential buyers...........Bank of America struck an all-stock deal to buy Merrill Lynch for $29 a share, or $50 billion..

so wat do u think abt this whole scenario (What went wrong in the financial system—and the long, hard task of fixing it)...
n wat wud be its effects on SENSEX.....???

kashmir's QUIT INDIA Movement !!!!!!!!

The amarath dispute and the alleged 'economic blockade' ve sparked pro-pakistani sentiment in the valley!!!!What kashmir is witnessing today is fundamentally different frm any naxal movement or any terrorist activities as it is a cry for freedom backed not by guns but by the power of dissent. Is there any similarity b/w Gandhi's QUIT INDIA Movement and kashmir's QUIT INDIA Movement....think......Over five lakh ppl turn out at the rally, n now its clear that common ppl n their sentiments r the driving force of this movement !!!! In the rally the crowd insistently shouted slogans like "HAME CHAYIHE AZADI" n "JIYO JIYO PAKISTAN" N even put up a green flag in support !!! there r several other slogans like BHARAT TERI MAUT AAYI , LASHKAR AAYI LASHKAR AAYI ........ MARO YA MAR JAO.....many banners were written in English n addressed to UN.....like RIGHT TO SELF-DETERMINATION IN EAST TIMOR,MONTENEGRO,QUEBEC N KOSOVO then WHY NOT IN KASMIR...WORLD BODIES WAKE UP FOR KASHMIR...WE NEED INDEPENDENCE FRM INDIA!!!! wat do u think abt this issue???? is it right that"India need azadi frm kashmir as much as kashmir need azadi frm India !!!!!

Nuclear Deal:123 Agreement

WHY WE NEED THE DEAL

This deal can ensure India supply of Uranium for power production. India has very less uranium. We have largest amount of Thorium but technolgy to develop power from it will take some time. We have limited supply of coal which is used in thermal power plants. Hydro projects like Tehri Dam take very long time to be constructed. Gas based power is very costly as we have to import it. Solar and Wind energy are at very initial stage and costly too. India growing at speed of 8-9 percent GDP needs power, electricity.. If we feel to deliver our economy will be destroyed. And for power, this deal is only way out... which left and BJP dont want to happen



ACUTE SHORTAGE OF URANIUM

Faced with an acute shortage of uranium to run existing power stations, the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd has advanced its maintenance schedule and started shutting down individual power units. Usually, these units are shut down in a staggered manner but this time they have been bunched together so that authorities get time to arrange for uranium supplies

NO URANIUM NO POWER

Over the past few weeks, as many as five units amounting to 1000 MW of the total 4000 MW were shut down on account of upkeep of plants: two units from Tarapur (Maharashtra) and one each from Kaiga (Karnataka), Kalpakkam (Tamil Nadu) and Kakrapar (Gujarat). Already, most of the plants that were running at 90-95 per cent capacity until last year are now down to 50-70 per cent reflecting the serious uranium crisis facing the country.

WE NEED DEAL BECAUSE
With the nuclear deal taking more and more time, the Indian programme has to depend on domestic uranium supplies which show few signs of matching the efficiency of reactors. In short, the choking of the indigenous programme due to fuel shortage is soon becoming a reality.


Highlights of the Deal:
* The agreement not to hinder or interfere with India's nuclear programme for military purposes.

* US will help India negotiate with the IAEA for an India-specific fuel supply agreement.

* Washington will support New Delhi develop strategic reserves of nuclear fuel to guard against future disruption of supply.

* In case of disruption, US and India will jointly convene a group of friendly supplier countries to include nations like Russia, France and the UK to pursue such measures to restore fuel supply.

* Both the countries agree to facilitate nuclear trade between themselves in the interest of respective industries and consumers.

* India and the US agree to transfer nuclear material, non-nuclear material, equipment and components.

* Any special fissionable material transferred under the agreement shall be low enriched uranium.

* Low enriched uranium can be transfered for use as fuel in reactor experiments and in reactors for conversion or fabrication.

* The ambit of the deal include research, development, design, construction, operation, maintenance and use of nuclear reactors, reactor experiments and decommissioning.

* The US will have the right to seek return of nuclear fuel and technology but it will compensate for the costs incurred as a consequence of such removal.

* India can develop strategic reserve of nuclear fuel to guard against any disruption of supply over the lifetime of its reactors.

* Agreement provides for consultations on the circumstances, including changed security environment, before termination of the nuclear cooperation.

* Provision for one-year notice period before termination of the agreement.

* The US to engage Nuclear Suppliers Group to help India obtain full access to the international fuel market, including reliable, uninterrupted and continual access to fuel supplies from firms in several nations.

* The US will have the right to seek return of nuclear fuel and technology.

* In case of return, Washington will compensate New Delhi promptly for the "fair market value thereof" and the costs incurred as a consequence of such removal.

* Both the countries to set up a Joint Committee for implementation of the civil nuclear agreement and development of further cooperation in this field.

* The agreement grants prior consent to reprocess spent fuel.

* Sensitive nuclear technology, nuclear facilities and major critical components can be transferred after amendment to the agreement.

* India will establish a new national facility dedicated to reprocessing safeguarded nuclear material under IAEA safeguards.

* Nuclear material and equipment transferred to India by the US would be subject to safeguards in perpetuity.

Down with 377!!!!!!

Section 377 of IPC punishes those indulging in intercourse 'against the order of nature' with a minimum imprisonment of 10 years. Same-sex marriages or transgenders are still illegal in India. The legal battle for deletion of this section is on in the Delhi High Court by Human right activists. Even if HC rules in favour of transgenders it would mean little if corresponding legal rights were not conferred on them through amendments to the constitution.

However the question is---whether a transgender or a hijra can contest from a seat reserved for a women--is still pending decision before the Supreme Court for last five years. The laws relating to marriage wud need necessary changes to give transgenders the right to put a "T" in place of the conventional "M"(for male) and "F"(for female) in appropriate boxes of the numerous forms that one fills in his/her lifetime.........think & express ur views........

India is a great country!!!!!!!

GLOBAL WARMING

Learn as much you can about climate crisis
then put your knowledge into action...............



Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-twentieth century, and its projected continuation. The average global air temperature near the Earth's surface increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during the hundred years ending in 2005.The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-twentieth century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic (man-made) greenhouse gas concentrations via the greenhouse effect. Natural phenomena such as solar variation combined with volcanoes probably had a small warming effect from pre-industrial times to 1950 and a small cooling effect from 1950 onward.

Carbon dioxide and other gases warm the surface of the planet naturally by trapping solar heat in the atmosphere. This is good thing because it keeps our planet habitable. However, by burning fossil fuels such as coal, gas, and oil, and cleaning our forests we have dramatically increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere and the temperatures are rising.

Almost everyone of us have a very good knowledge about global warming and what are its effect but the main point is whether or not we care about what is going on and do we know any kind of solution to stop it...



SOLUTION TO GLOBAL WARMING(PERSONAL SOLUTIONS)


1.)The car you drive:the most important personal climate decision
When you buy your next car, look for the one with the best fuel economy in its class. Each gallon of gas you use is responsible for 25 pounds of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere. Better gas mileage not only reduces global warming, but will also save you thousands of dollars at the pump over the life of the vehicle. Compare the fuel economy of the cars you're considering and look for new technologies like hybrid engines.

2.)Choose clean power
More than half the electricity in the United States comes from polluting coal-fired power plants. And power plants are the single largest source of heat-trapping gas. None of us can live without electricity, but in some states, you can switch to electricity companies that provide 50 to100percent renewable energy.

3.)Look for Energy Star
When it comes time to replace appliances, look for the Energy Star label on new appliances (refrigerators, freezers, furnaces, air conditioners, and water heaters use the most energy). These items may cost a bit more initially, but the energy savings will pay back the extra investment within a couple of years. Household energy savings really can make a difference: If each household in the United States replaced its existing appliances with the most efficient models available, we would save $15 billion in energy costs and eliminate 175 million tons of heat-trapping gases.

4.)Unplug a freezer
One of the quickest ways to reduce your global warming impact is to unplug the extra refrigerator or freezer you rarely use (except when you need it for holidays and parties). This can reduce the typical family's carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 10 percent.

5.)Light bulbs matter
If every household in the United States replaced one regular light bulb with an energy-saving model, we could reduce global warming pollution by more than 90 billion pounds over the life of the bulbs; the same as taking 6.3 million cars off the road. So, replace your incandescent bulbs with more efficient compact fluorescents, which now come in all shapes and sizes. You'll be doing your share to cut back on heat-trapping pollution and you'll save money on your electric bills and light bulbs.

6.)Buy good wood
When buying wood products, check for labels that indicate the source of the timber. Supporting forests that are managed in a sustainable fashion makes sense for biodiversity, and it may make sense for the climate too. Forests that are well managed are more likely to store carbon effectively because more trees are left standing and carbon-storing soils are less disturbed.

7.)Plant a tree
You can also make a difference in your own backyard. Get a group in your neighborhood together and contact your local arborist or urban forester about planting trees on private property and public land. In addition to storing carbon, trees planted in and around urban areas and residences can provide much-needed shade in the summer, reducing energy bills and fossil fuel use.
