<p>A weird analyses on the results for  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_100_Public_Intellectuals_Poll">Top 100 Public Intellectuals Poll</a> conducted by Prospect Magazine (UK) and Foreign Policy (US). Do you see any difference as I did?</p>
<p>People who voted think religious preachers are more impotent intellectuals to this world than atheists. The same crowd was mentally aright  in 2005 <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':-(' class='wp-smiley' /> . Also , now there are more intellectuals in south Asia and gulf compared to west.</p>
<p>Looks like whole poll has intention of appeasement.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p align="justify">Here is one of the reasons  &#8220;why you shouldn&#8217;t trust Indian media&#8221;:</p>
<p align="justify">The news was simple to understand &#8220;Taslima Nasrin heckled by God&#8217;s own warriors in one of the God&#8217;s own check post Hyderabad&#8221;. Just another event God wanted them to do.</p>
<p align="justify">I read all the news items in Google taking a cue from <a href="http://barbarindians.blogspot.com/2007/08/secularism-collides-with-reality-falls.html">barberindian</a> , for the same.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;<em>Local politics behind attack on Taslima</em>&#8221; &#8211; Hindustan Times<br />
&#8220;<em>Taslima Nasreen attacked in Hyderabad</em>&#8221; &#8211; NDTV<br />
&#8220;<em>Taslima heckled in Hyderabad</em>&#8221; &#8211; Economic Times<br />
&#8220;<em>Taslima heckled in Hyderabad</em>&#8221; &#8211; The Statesman<br />
&#8220;<em>Taslima Nasreen, Poet, Attacked in India: Men Attack Her; Other &#8230;</em>&#8221; &#8211; The Moderate Voice<br />
&#8220;<em>Assault on Taslima Nasreen</em>&#8221; &#8211; Central Chronicle<br />
&#8220;<em>Taslima Attacked In Hyderabad, Journalists Protest</em>&#8221; &#8211; Newspost<br />
&#8220;<em>Taslima Nasreen attacked in Hyderabad</em>&#8221; &#8211; Zee news<br />
&#8220;<em>Andhra MLAs, 20 MIM activists manhandle Taslima Nasreen</em>&#8221; &#8211; Daily news</p></blockquote>
<p align="justify">and our own Desicritics:</p>
<blockquote><p> &#8220;<em>Taslima Nasreen Attacked by MLAs in Hyderabad</em>&#8221; &#8211; Desicritics</p></blockquote>
<p align="justify">If you want news items from international media</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;<em>Muslim Protesters Attack Bangladeshi Author in India</em>&#8221; &#8211; Voice of America<br />
&#8220;<em>Muslim group in India threatens to behead Bangladeshi author</em>&#8221; &#8211; EarthTimes</p></blockquote>
<p align="justify">See any difference ? <span id="more-375"></span>If you still dint get it, read any Indian news item on this topic. It will be written &#8220;Taslima a renowned writer from Bangladesh&#8230; blah blah was <em><strong>allegedly</strong> </em>heckled<em> </em>by <strong>people belonging to one community</strong>.. &#8220;</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Morals of the story</strong> :</p>
<ul>
<li>Indian media does not give you news, they give rumours and gossips.</li>
<li>No one  including  left, right, middle,  women rights organizations , secularists, online petition makers; I_dont_have_to_work_to_do people ( Shabana Ajmi , Arundati Roy ) etc etc., seems to be bothered by this. This is <strong>secularism </strong></li>
<li>Taslima or Dalai lama, welcome to India, we give you freedom to breath and eat dal-chaval. If you do anything more you will be <strong>allegedly beaten to death!<br />
</strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>update:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><font face="Arial, sans-serif" size="2"><strong><a href="http://www.expressindia.com/fullstory.php?newsid=90746">Hyderabad, August 11</a>: </strong> The Hyderabad police have registered a case against controversial Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen, who was recently attacked by workers of Majlis Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) in Hyderabad, for allegedly creating ill-feeling among communities.</font></p></blockquote>
<p>Moral of the this story : <strong>&#8220;Ulta chor kotwal ko date &#8220;</strong></p>

Well, Kerala communism is a philosophy by itself. It is “take policies as time changes and completely forget where they started”. In my opinion it is a complete hypocrisy. Infact, communism in India has lost its meaning. If Karl Marks was alive today, he would have definitely taken rat poison.<br />
      For example, there was “Anti Coke Pepsi” campaign few months back. Kerala assembly discussed it for length and finally decided to ban those products. Next day none of the college campuses had Coke and Pepsi but Sprite, Seven-up, Mirinda, Fanta …were available. A curious journalist asked one of the ministers “Why two products alone, why not ban all the products which are proved to have chemicals”. Minister happily said, “Oops &#8230; In assembly we did not discuss other drinks at all &#8230; he he”.<br />
Another instance is where they have done blunder in <a href="http://bachodi.wordpress.com/2006/12/18/left-democratic-front/">their party name itself</a> (my previous post).
</p>
<p align="justify"><span id="more-341"></span>Coming to the point of me being called a Kerala communist when I was a kid, was because of the way I used to argue. Here is an instance I remember –</p>
<blockquote>
<p align="justify">“Hey mom, Bro is eating curd”<br />
“So???”<br />
“Why am I was not served curd for lunch”<br />
“Alright &#8230; take how much ever you want”<br />
“Gee..!! You know I don’t eat curd”<br />
“I know that &#8230; that is why I did not serve you”<br />
“But why did you give it to him, all are equal isn’t it”<br />
“You don’t eat, I did not give it to you. Your brother eats, so he is eating”<br />
“There is no equality in this house, if all are equal how come some are served more??”<br />
Soon after my statement there was political oppression on me.<br />
Now when I look back, I feel it’s kinda cute. Thatz me!!!</p>
</blockquote>
<p>If you want to know where you fall in the political map, here is a <a href="http://politicalcompass.org/test">political compass</a>. Answer all the questions and find what political nature you have.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p align="justify">When was the last time you exclaimed &#8220;Oh my god&#8221; in public ? and which god was it ? You don&#8217;t now ?? well , you better know it. Some one might sit on your neck and prove your exclaim is very offensive to him. Also it would be politically and theologically incorrect and big time violation of his rule he has read.</p>
<p>Here is a guys who went on proving the <a href="http://bachodi.wordpress.com/2007/06/24/my-shit-is-better-than-your-shit/">same stuff</a> all over again. To mention some:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p align="justify"> God came and told me &#8220;I am god. If any other gods come and claim that they are also gods, its wrong. please note down there is no god other than me&#8221;. Now there if there are any , that is  a violation.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="justify">  God said that he doesn&#8217;t have a face , if any other gods claim to have face thats again violation, since my god said so.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>so on , you ll find many such logical reasoning in this video.</p>

<h4>I don&#8217;t want a President, who talks to ghosts and dead people.</h4>
<p>I will be very irritated if she does not answer this :</p>
<blockquote>
<p align="justify">She claims that she is talking to dead people. She claims to have been advised by her long-dead guru (Dada Lekhraj who founded Brahma Kumari sect) through the body of head of Brahma Kumaris World Spritual University, Hridaymohini, also popularly known as ‘dadiji.’ WTF! I know that this Brahmakumari sect is one huge scam and has seriously affected the lives of people. To find that our Presidential nominee is not just a mere follower of this cult but also claims to have supernatural conversations with the dead in the 21st century is astounding.                -                  <a href="http://www.ipatrix.com/pratibha-patil-not-my-president/">Patrix</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p class="MsoNormal">I feel we have lost a definition of word “insult”. We are dying to find an insult in something and we are waiting for it to happen. Take our National anthem; you translate it – Insult! Instrumental? – Insult! Sung for more than 52 seconds? – Insult! Less? – Insult! Lower/higher pitch – Insult!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Most of the time I don’t get what exactly is an insult. If Mandira is wearing this is an insult, then why not those thousands tri-color clad fans acting crazy is an insult. Why those thousands of plastic tri-colors in dustbins on next day to Aug 15, is not an insult. I want to know very badly why it is insult if mandira does it, and why it is not when this <a href="http://bachodi.wordpress.com/2007/03/01/who-the-hell-is-this-goddess/">woman does it</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal">she was in a saree — designed by Puneet Nanda of designer label Satya Paul — that had flags of all countries in the World Cup.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> By the time the showers had done their two bits, Bedi was back on air with a different saree. But the damage was already done. Puneet Nanda had to apologise. “<strong>I didn’t think our flag would end up near Bedi’s foot.</strong> I am sorry,” he told</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/198/476334285_d776aedd84.jpg" class="flickr-photo" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="left">The controversy comes at a time when Akal Takht, the highest body of Sikh religious affairs, accepted the apology of Bedi pertaining to the use of a Sikh religious symbol on her body as a tattoo                           &#8211; <a href="http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?newsid=1093522">DNA</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="left"><span id="more-296"></span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Puneet Nanda tells. “I didn’t think our flag would end up near Bedi’s foot. I am sorry,” In other words that would be “I am sorry that we insulted ours, alas  &#8230; It should’ve been theirs”. Just imagine what would have happened if Indian and Pakistan flags just interchanged(they are currently in lucky spot). I guess Musharraf would have tested his next missile EOD</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The Chinese government has a tradition of keeping its watchful eye on all media. Since the rapid growth of the World Wide Web in the 1990s they have constantly invented new ways of censorship to control the world’s most<span id="more-264"></span> democratic medium, the Internet, as well. Not everything on the Internet, readily available elsewhere, can be accessed from within China.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://greatfirewallofchina.org/faq/7/Who_is_censoring?">Who is censoring?</a></p>
<p class="flickr-yourcomment">It is estimated that some 30,000 Chinese civil servants are monitoring Internet traffic and blocking content that is deemed undesirable. Typing in sensitive keywords such as ‘democracy’, ‘Falun Gong’ or ‘porno’ in a search engine  results in an error message. Websites of a sensitive nature are being blocked. Internet service providers also (self)censor, as do individuals: many people do not express their real thoughts because they know these will be censored anyway.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p align="justify" class="NormalArial">Nobody needs to teach Indian hypocrisy and stereotyping; it’s a gift in their blood. We love to laugh at another person’s mole on his nose, while we are standing in a pit full of cow dung. South Indians disliking north Indians, North Indians don’t like south Indians and both together dislike north-east Indians. In fact North-east Indians itself is new usage, for the rest of India they are just &#8220;Chinkis&#8221;. It’s not racist, just sense of humor.</p>
<p align="justify" class="NormalArial">One more thing common among all of them is “my daddy<span> </span>&#8230; Strooongest!!!’. We have the best culture, language, community and nature; we are best analyzers, psychologists and of course rest of them live in a fish pond. Those people don’t like Mohanlal to be hero in this age are O.K with Rishi Kapur dancing with girl of his grand daughter’s age. We are O.K with Salman Khan’s pink trouser but Vijaykanth’s yellow shirt is so funny.</p>
<p align="justify" class="NormalArial">One of the most general and popular “happy to be ignorant” story is about a place called Madras in India. People live there are madarassis. For south Indians it is one metropolitan city which is now named as Chennai. But unfortunately for north Indians it is a wide unexplored area comes in south to Maharashtra and Orissa. (For north east Indians it does not matter. Geographically south India has four different states and six to seven different languages, for north Indians it is just madras. The rest of the India thinks whole madras speaks one language Tamil and they survive with Idly Sambar Vada.<span> </span>We made a big deal when Celebrity big brother’s sister did not learn Shilpa’s name isn’t it?</p>
<p align="justify" class="NormalArial">Knowing Hindi is one more misconception around. People worried why rest of the world not bothered learn Hindi. Well why should they? States are organized as linguistic regions. Every state has its own language; they are official and national language as Hindi. Why complain people over there don’t understand my language?</p>
<p class="NormalArial"><span id="more-248"></span><br />
This kind of assumptions and misconceptions works other way round also. Kashmiri’s don’t love India, Bengali’s don’t take bath, Assamee’s are extremists etc. Generally this or any of such issues are fought in mails and posts. One starts and there will be avalanche of mails/comments, cause it’s easy to write offending mails/posts.
</p>
<p align="justify" class="NormalArial">This post ( <a href="http://batrasden.wordpress.com/2007/03/06/this-is-indian-racism/">This is Indian Racism</a>) I can mention here is a person who is pissed off with the terrorism panic in Bangalore. People of North Indian origin is asked to register details in nearby police station (to be sure he has no records) and this guy goes Fs ad Bs. There was an analysis and it was found any of south Indians did not participate in freedom fights.</p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="NormalArial">Now my message to those living out in their ponds like the frogs who never knew what it is like being outside….</p>
<p class="NormalArial">You guys ever knew how a war is fought (65, 71, Kargil )? None from South Indian community was ever engaged in Struggle for Freedom</p>
<p class="NormalArial">The stupids of North India fight for India, die for India and u guys say they all are terrorists and you are different coz they are Northies. huh!!! Thanklessness Personified!!!! God forbid, if anything like Tsunami occurs again, from North Indian people’s side, nothing will change. These Pseudo Indians will ask for Rice from North Indians. And then we North Indians will donate it and don’t worry we will not poison it then.</p>
<p class="NormalArial">Grow up you South Indians…I wish u cud…</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="NormalArial">Update: all Fs and Bs are deleted in his post.</p>
<p align="justify" class="NormalArial">Strange analyses and may be it <span></span>explains lot of things. Biharis getting kicked in Assam can be argued right back since Battle of Plassy ( seventeen hundreds I guess ), don’t ask me connection . And of course why marathi’s hate kannadiga’s in belagam ( currently Belagavi I guess ) is because kannadiga’s did not fight for Shivaji against Aurangazeb five hundred years back. May be they did but that is not a point.</p>
<p align="justify" class="NormalArial">One mails also I want to mention here. Some techie living in Chennai, has lot of complaints. Some of them may be valid, the others I tried to answer here (and send him a link to this post ) <span></span></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="NormalArial"><span style="color:red;"></span><em>Language &#8211; Tamil, Tamil and Tamil. Even if they know Hindi, they dont speak up.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify">Aren’t there any place where India where Hindi Hindi and only Hindi , or Bengali Bengali and only Bengali ? When you are not learning a local language when you are living in it , why are you expecting them to learn a language which is rarely used in their town. and about &#8220;even if they know Hindi they dont speak is highly exaggerated. There are some proud , conservative people but they are exceptional cases. Why would an auto driver or a cigarette shop owner ( Most of the time you interact with only these ) does not talk to you in Hindi ( even if he knows ) . There is life he has and he needs to earn to live.</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="NormalArial"><span></span><em>Food &#8211; Idly, sambhar, rice, dosa, vada, pongal We have to cook our food ourselves (unbelievable naa). “Even dogs eat curd rice ,”</em></p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote><p><span></span><em>Once we saw a girl in the food court, she was looking and acting like a north Indian. My friend became exited and planned to talk to her, but just then we noticed her breakfast and then &#8220;dil ke armaan aansuon mein beh gaye&#8221;, she was having pongal. (disguise!!)</em></p></blockquote>
<p class="NormalArial">What about places where only roti, naan, alu parantha? Dude what will you do if you go to Italy ? eat pizza / pasta or complain that you don’t get Tanduri items</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="NormalArial"><em>We asked an auto driver, &#8220;Hindi aati hai&#8221;?. He replied in Hindi &#8220;Hindi nahi aati&#8221;.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify">At least that. If a tamilian comes to Delhi or Mumbai and asks &#8220;Tamil terima ?/kannada barutta &#8221; will he reply as &#8221; teriyad/gottila &#8221; . He will say &#8221; go to hell / bhad me jao &#8221; isn’t it ?</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="NormalArial"><em>The most common suffix here is &#8216;a&#8217;, e.g. straight &#8211; straighta <span></span>2 cup tea &#8211; 2 cupa tea</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="NormalArial">Local language influence. Have you ever defined &#8220;Istyle &#8221; and &#8220;Iskool &#8220;</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="NormalArial"><em>When there is a &#8216;t&#8217; in any name, they add &#8216;h&#8217; to it. jayant &#8211; jayanth <span></span>bharat &#8211; bharath . Here is a culture of adding mystical alphabets after ones&#8217;s name, like Mahesh R, Sandeep T etc.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="NormalArial">Why do always people think their language is best and according to UNICODE standards ? Does people here write &#8221; athal &#8221; for &#8221; atal bihari &#8220;. I have written about it here as <a href="http://bachodi.wordpress.com/2007/02/03/whats-wrong-with-your-name/">What’s wrong with your name</a></p>
<p class="NormalArial">Some more of them I don’t want to answer(and which also doesn’t need one ).</p>
<blockquote>
<p align="justify"><em>Here you cannot buy a needle after </em><em>6 PM</em><em> (strange) No life after </em><em>9 PM</em><em>.</em></p>

They are above every one, you, me, law and the nation&#8230; yes nations. Generally &#8220;they&#8221; are called to be &#8220;jagadguru&#8221;, or “shree shree shree…”  (&#8220;amma&#8221; or &#8220;Mata&#8221; for females) i.e. gurus of the world (universe to be specific).</p>
<p>Check out these photos. This lady is a goddess (oh no  &#8230; not one more). And she wants national flag below her legs. &#8220;Mothers&#8217; are above nation you know.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Some five hundred years ago General of Aurangazeb army  mallikafur who was running a demolition drive, stopped by. That time he had an assignment to demolish illegal building from India’s map. The criteria were, the building is illegal if it was hindu/Jain/Buddhist places of worship. Technologies ten was not advanced then, or may be they dint import a bulldozer or a land mover. He used to manage with hammer.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He stopped by here<span id="more-122"></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Malli:</strong> no way&#8230;Man..!! he ain&#8217;t no here&#8230;( he used his 7 th scene here, he supposedly had 8 scenes and also IQ number 8 )</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Vijaya:</strong> &#8220;he is, name&#8217;s keshava&#8230; Chenna keshava. (Bond style)</p>

Jaya-Vijaya lost their jobs here. Their decedents are teaching India secularism. Mallikafur got a great reward, later he had similar assignments for a long. His decedents are working with Taliban. Aurangazeb was best emperor ever in India. The secularism defined by him is widely adopted in India, even after 500 years.<span>  </span>Some time later Mohammed bin tughalak (IQ 4) gave a tough competition in terms of taking important decision.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Helv;"></span><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Helv;">         </span><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Helv;">I have my mind set against all Bollywood movies, which said to be shot abroad. Usually it turns out to be an over-aged college student (typically in his 30s or 40s) and his (variable entity) dancing on European footpath, with a dozen of half-naked European babes (strictly babes, no dudes). Location can be Swiss mountains with the same team dancing in Bollywood invented steps, holding mutkas (pots…. but why pots??). Movie usually has a plot of our heroes’ (ati-vinayi, parama-dayalu, sajjan) love story with heroin (sushil, soubhagyavati) and &#8230; hey you&#8217;ve seen them. I used to get vomiting sensation with all these karan johar, yash, ghai movies lately. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Helv;"></span><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Helv;"></span><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Helv;">           I would have missed an awesome movie, if the movie name was bit less attractive. &#8220;Kabul Express&#8221; is a rare movie. I think it is the only travelogue produced by Bollywood (if I am not wrong). I still can’t imagine a yash production finished movie without a &#8220;<em>zara sa jhoom lon me</em> &#8230; “in Afghani mountains, without any typical &#8220;Hindi M<em>asala</em>&#8221; or without any &#8220;item songs&#8221;.</span><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Helv;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Helv;"></span><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Helv;"></span><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Helv;"><strong>Why Kabul express is different? </strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Helv;"></span><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Helv;"></span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helv;">dialogues are written as natural as possible, Indian speaks Hindi/ Indian English , , American speaks English (US) , Pakistani speaks Urdu and Afghanis speak Afghani ( or pashtuni .. whatever it is ) with subtitle displayed. Typically in Indian movie whole world speaks Hindi /Tamil etc. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helv;"></span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helv;">No songs, no dance, Hero does not fight, heroin does not weep, Rakhi savant don’t strip etc etc so may differences. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helv;"></span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helv;">Excellent sense of humor (by arshad varsi.. I just love this guy). John Abraham is just OK in comparison with him (why this guy is still in industry?) </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helv;"></span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helv;">Movie is bold. It shows/tells what actually happened (or might have happened) in Afghanistan and Pakistan politically and socially. Directors most of the time fear to present all the things they have in mind (fearing fatwa/censor) </span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helv;"><span id="more-105"></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helv;"></span><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Helv;"><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Helv;">What could have been better?</span> </strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Helv;"></span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helv;">Movie could have covered more shots of damage on general social life in Afghanistan. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helv;"></span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helv;">The encounter with a Talib is presented in light way. Talib argues for kapildev/imran khan etc. The character of Talib in the movie does not support strength of the name. It’s like “My funny encounter with a Talib&#8221;. Technically, it’s not a Talib they meet, a Pakistani agent instead. He is a moderate Taliban (moderate Talib &#8230;! what is that??). In the movie he does not represent all inhumane ideas of Taliban regime had, but represents politically true (i feel) Pakistani conspiracy. </span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Helv;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Helv;">Flaws .., I forgive them.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Helv;"></span><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Helv;">              Imran khan afridi (Talib in the movie) is undercover Pakistani agent in the movie, but was not able to ask “Can you drive this vehicle “in English. Please ignore this flaw, if it is true that Pakistan recruits officers who can not speak English (any Pakistani fellow bloggers</span><span>  </span>&#8230; please educate me on this)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p> There is a political front in Kerala, calls itself <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_Democratic_Front">LDF</a> i.e. Left Democratic Front. My questions are, How can a &#8220;left front” be &#8220;democratic “? Or how can a &#8220;democratic&#8221; party to have &#8220;left&#8221; ideas”? Is it a typographic error on the day of christening the front, nobody observed later?</p>
<p>I haven’t read Marx, they must have (I assume this since in bracket they have written Marxist). Just with relevance, here is one more <a href="http://rakesh.in/2006/11/16/politically-incorrect/">politically incorrect</a> name in Kerala, this happens to be in other front, UDF.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>        November 1st this year four of south Indian states celebrated their birth. (In fact, it is for almost all the states in India). HDK, chief minister of Karnataka had a gift to distribute to all Kannadigas. Major cities in Karnataka changed their names. Bangalore ( to Bengalooru ) Mysore ( to Mysooru ) , Mangalore ( to Mangalooru ) , Hubli ( to Hubballi ) , Shimoga to ( Shivamogga ) , Belgam ( to Belagavi ) , Hospet ( to Hosapete ), Bellary ( to Ballary) and Gulbarga ( to Kalburgi ) . These changes were hinted long back, now it is official. Now lot of people seems to be irritated. Looks like general psyche of people. When Madras became Chennai , Bombay became Mumbai nobody bothered, what actual problem is Bangalore has changed the spellings ( another example When Afzal ( a terrorist ) was sentenced death, everyone has problem with such a punishment, when priyadarshini’s murderer is getting the same sentence nobody seems to have time to write about it )</p>
<p>             If you observe the names, they are not changed (except Kalburgi) to a completely new word. They have changed the way how it supposed to be spelt0 in it, in English. The new names (rather spellings) are very near to what people pronounce it, locally. Almost all languages spell what they pronounce, and read the way it is written. There will be a general rule how to spell and pronounce, unless English (where there are rules for every word, and every word is exception for rules of spelling). For example there is a beach city in coastal Karnataka, which is getting spelt as “KAUP”. Now how are we suppose to pronounce it? (Local pronounces it as “kapu”).</p>
<p><span id="more-78"></span></p>
<p>Tamil Nadu</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://oheraldo.in/node/20178">In Chennai</a>, Karunanidhi announced a hike in pensions for those who fought for inclusion of border areas in the State from Rs 3,000 to Rs 4,000 and to families of these martyrs, from Rs 1,500 to Rs 2,000.</p></blockquote>
<p>Somebody help me understanding who are these “ freedom fighters”, what did they fight for? Do we neet fight for all the borders inside our nation ? like village border , town border etc.</p>
<blockquote><p>He, however, said demarcation of Tamil Nadu as a linguistic State had actually not benefited the State as it had lost most of its natural resources to its neighbours.<br />
Andhra Pradesh</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>TRS activists disrupted rail and road traffic at a few places in Telengana region and in Hyderabad Telengana intellectuals forum held demonstration and paid tributes to Telengana martyrs who laid down their lives during 1969 agitation for separate Telengana.</p></blockquote>

<p style="line-height:12pt;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal" align="center"><span></span><em><span>            </span>While that moon does not sleep for no reason</em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span></em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span><span> </span>(Rough translation of a bollywood song from the movie <em>Tere naam</em>)</p>
<p style="line-height:12pt;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span><span></span></p>
<p style="line-height:12pt;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span><span>             </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Now this poet (lyricist) has compared moon with girlfriends face. How can he just do it??</span><span>   </span>I declare a &#8220;<em>Fatwa</em>&#8221; against the lyricist, Err&#8230; Who was it anyway?? Ok Chuck it&#8230; I declare it on Salman khan (because he starred the movie&#8230; that&#8217;s it<span>  </span>&#8230; don&#8217;t ask more).</p>
<p style="line-height:12pt;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">          </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">I declare all the people in the world (including those who are in cradle and also those who are in ICU) to not to hum the song / listen / watch (also any <em>salman khan</em>&#8217;s).</span><span>  </span>And the reasons why&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p style="line-height:12pt;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">The moon considered being holy (don&#8217;t ask how) in our religion. </span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="line-height:12pt;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">It is considered to calculate the human destiny and his afterlife. </span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="line-height:12pt;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">It used to give light for lovers before candle light diner was invented. </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="line-height:12pt;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">One holy book has a mention on a particular page (I have not read it  any way) that moon is not supposed be compared with anything.  </span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="line-height:12pt;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">And also for several other religious reasons&#8230; Which can’t be revealed to general public  </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">What authority I have??</span><span>  </span>Do I really need one..??</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="line-height:12pt;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span></p>
<p style="line-height:12pt;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">I also extend the <em>fatwa</em> on <em>Shakespeare</em>, who have done the same mistake (I haven&#8217;t read them either)</span></p>
<p style="line-height:12pt;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span></p>
<p style="line-height:12pt;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Note: <em>Fatwa</em> is an opinion (which is treated as order) which is declared by a highly politically influential religious leader. These fatwa&#8217;s are above national law. Some example which actually declared in<br />
India lately</span></p>
<ol>
<li>
<p style="line-height:12pt;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Fatwa against authors , because they write </span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="line-height:12pt;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Fatwa against national song , since &#8221; it compares mother nation with god &#8221; </span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="line-height:12pt;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Fatwa against Republic day parade, reason is to be discovered yet.</span></p>

Most of them need not have relevance to the present at all and also evidence of which is buried thousands of years ago. </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">         The discussion can be,</span><span>  </span>which race is better ? Who had better civilization ?<span>  </span>Which country had a better history ( forget the presence or future ) ?<span>  </span>Which religion is better ? Whose god is better ? Etc. etc. Come to India . We have some more matters to taken care in addition. Is north India is better or south ? Which language s better (usually this is Tamil &#8211; Hindi argument in internet). Which state is better? Religion and race, who&#8217;s is better? Which caste? Which sub caste? Which class? Which faith? Which god? Boy..!! You ask for it. Its there!</p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">            One of the topics I was interested in learning was AIT (Aryan invasion theory). Its Almost 100 years, since they proposed theory of AIT. Still there is lot to talk about it and lot to discover also. Fight is between the theories &#8220;Aryans actually original inhabitants of India&#8221; or &#8220;came from outside&#8221;. Originally AIT stated by German scholar max Muller, later opposed furiously by one group and opposed by another. Every one wants to prove they are the original forefathers of great India. There was an online book about AIT defining completely different story, title is <a href="http://www.dalitstan.org/books/bibai/">Bible of Aryan Invasions</a> ( update: the site is banned in india, try these links : <a href="http://www.light1998.com/The-Bible-of-Aryan-Invasions/bibai.html">light</a>,  <a href="http://www.sabha.info/research/aif.html">sabha</a>.</span><span>  </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">If one has no idea about what Indian races and history, will completely get miss-lead by this theory. The book is highly confused between history and mythology. I completely read the book twice, and the summary is &#8220;every foreigner came to India since 2000 BC is Aryan, every war happened in India is Aryan &#8211; Dravidian&#8221;. If given time author world have proved the meteoroids hit in Jurassic age were also Aryan ones. The book is written more with outburst and less with common sense.</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">The author classifies invasions with chronological order. There are around 20 Aryan invasions, starting from rig Vedic Aryan invasion to republic<br />
India the first</span><span>  </span>six of them are based on Veda , purana and Mahabharata</p>
<ol>
<li><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Rig Vedic Aryan Invasion (1500 BC)</span></em></li>
<li><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span></em><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> Second Aryan Invasion (1400 BC)</span></em></li>
<li><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span></em><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">The Krishnaite (Third) Aryan Invasion (1200 BC)</span></em></li>
<li><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Mahabharata Aryan Invasion (900-800 BC)</span></em></li>
<li><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span></em><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> Fifth (Solar) Aryan Invasion (800 BC)</span></em></li>
<li><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span></em><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> Ramaite Aryan Invasion &amp; Dravidian Holocaust (600 BC)</span></em></li>
</ol>
<p><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">                        </span></em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">The book proposes a historic event(s) with reference of mythology and stories. Nobody yet proved great wars of Ramayana and Mahabharata were real. Most of the things described in these epics are imaginary.</span><span>  </span>The heroes and bad guys in both possess powers and capacities that a normal human being can&#8217;t imagine at all. Now can this kind of scriptures be proof of an event happened on human race?</p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">         If at all they are considered to be true, and historic, the chronology in which they are presented is completely wrong. Ramaite Aryan Invasion is projected later than The Krishnaite Aryan Invasion. Both history (if they are true) and mythology says otherwise. Now with this kind of messing up, how to believe chronology of rest of them. Some more &#8220;truths&#8221; described:</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">               </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">                  &#8220;<em>Krishna destroyed the surviving traces of the Indus Valley civilization, abducting and raping 16000 women (low-caste `gopis&#8217;) of the races he exterminated</em>&#8220;.</span><span>  </span><br />
<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">        Krishna</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> himself was a Sheppard, a Gopal or dada (if he considers as low-caste) and gopi&#8217;s are his friends. This is well known fact for one who knows Krishna. Now does The Krishnaite Aryan Invasion make sense? </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">&#8220;<em>The revolt by the non-Aryans and mixed races led to the terrible Mahabharatan War between the Aryan Pandavas on one side and the mixed race Kauravas and black aboriginals on the other</em>&#8220;<span id="more-40"></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span><span> </span><span>         </span>Anyone who read Mahabharata knows pandavas and kauravas are cousins. They fought for land, not race. There goes Mahabharatan Aryan Invasion.<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">&#8220;<em>The 6th Aryan invasion of the deep South (Dravidia) by the armies of `Lord&#8217; Ram led to the fall of the Rakshasa (Dravidian) empire &amp; the destruction of the splendid city of<br />
Ravana</em>&#8220;. </span></p>
<p style="text-indent:0.5in;line-height:12pt;margin:6pt 0;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Rama kills ravana, and gives throne to ravana&#8217;s brother; also he does not destroy the city. Anyway these are mythologies. I seriously do not understand which version of mythologies author referred. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">                     The next part explores Indian history. As usual, every Indian war/battle is fight between Aryan and other races. Those who won are Aryans and lost are Dravidians, Semites, Nagas what not. It is very simple to build a thesis like this. Find one battle happened in India say Kargil war. now add Aryan invasion to it prove it kargil Aryan invasion. Nice isn&#8217;t it? Greeks, Romans, Mongols, Muslims, Mughals, Portuguese, English, French&#8230; all are Aryans here. Find a year they came to India and add Aryan invasion end of their name. Congratulation, you created one more Aryan invasion.</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">According to the book some of the Aryan invasions are ( please observe the words Aryan Islamic invaders, Buddhist Aryan Invasion etc)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">   </span><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Greek Aryan Invasions </span></em><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">(c. 320 BC &#8211; 100 BC) Kautilya the Brahmin used his pupil Candra Gupta to encourage Alexander the Great to invade India. Greek arms and soldiers enabled Candra Gupta to conquer Magadha and establish a Brahminist state</span></em></li>
<li><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span></em><em><span> </span>Buddhist Aryan Invasion (260 BC): Askoka, King of Aryan Magadha. His attack on Kolarian Kalinga led to the horrible Kalinga War, in which 200,000 black aboriginals were killed &amp; countless more enslaved. Several wars with the aboriginal races were waged.</em></li>
<li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Islamic Caliphate:</span></em><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> however. Here the Aryan Brahmins collaborated with the Aryan Islamic invaders from Central Asia and maintained the apartheid Varna system.</span></em></li>
<li><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span></em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">  </span><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Mughal Caliphate of Islam : Here the Aryan Brahmins collaborated with the Aryan Islamic invaders from Central Asia and maintained this inhuman institution. </span></em></li>
<li><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span></em><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">European Aryan Invasions (1500s-1947) :</span></em></li>
</ul>
<p><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span></em><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> i.      </span><span>Portuguese Aryan Invasion </span>: The Brahmins collaborated with the Portuguese invaders in order to subjugate the Sudroids and to destroy the Islamic empire they had helped build up. The Portuguese adopted the Vedic apartheid system, and spread it to their colonies in the Americas, leading to mass human misery with the creation of apartheid caste systems in Brazil and the Caribbean. With the help of the Aryan Brahmans, the Portuguese Aryan invaders managed to conquer Malabar. The Portuguese allowed their white cousins to maintain the apartheid Varna system of Manu in most of Malabar, and even adopted some of its features in<br />
Goa.</em><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">                                 </span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">  ii.      </span><span>English Aryan Invasion </span>: the Brahmin Aryans, as part of their anti-Sudra and newly acquired anti-Islam policies, heart fully collaborated with their cousins the Anglo-Saxon Aryans. The Aryan Anglo-Saxon invaders were also supported by the Indo-Aryans, especially the Brahmans</em></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">        Now come to independent India. The book defines masteries of AIT. It might be summarized as &#8220;Aryan north India got independence from Aryan British and Aryan Pakistanis also got independence from Aryan British and. Aryan Gandhi and Aryan Nehru..&#8221; etc. It goes on. Like there are male-female , only Aryan – Dravidian author can think about. You read it.</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">India (1947 &#8211; )</span><span>  </span>: The</em><em>Republic ofIndia officially perpetrated the pro-Aryan government of the English. Thus, Sudra Religion (Saivism) is not recognized as a separate religion, but they are classed, along with all Sudra Blacks, as (Aryan) Hindus. It has been shown that they are not the Hindus. This was mainly due to the racist anti-Sudra M.K.Gandhi, who prevented the British, and later the Indian Government from enacting such legislation. `Khari Boli&#8217; Hindi, heavily sanskritised, is, along with English, the co-official language of<br />
India, and is expanding rapidly at the expense of Dravidian tongues</em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">       There are some arguments here, which I found completely silly and illogical. </span></em><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">1.      Andhra , Orissa , Rajasthan and srilanka special kind of states. When some one attacked on these states that are Aryan invasion. When these states attack on some one it again Aryan invasion. </span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">I was completely confused with this theory</span><span>  </span>everything happened inIndia is because of Aryans, every natural calamity, oil rate, tsunami .. Whatnot. You can prove anything like this. Some of them are</em><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">2.      &#8220;<em>The most recent detailed study written of the relevant documents in fact arrives at the conclusion that it was the Congress that insisted on partition. It was Jinnah who was against partition</em>&#8220;. </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Yeh…!! Right. And Indian people were</span><span>  </span>against independence and British are for since World War 1.</em></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">3.      <em>&#8220;The harsh Brahmin-engineered Bengal famines of the 1940s led to the death of 16 millions</em>&#8220;. </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Can you interpret this statement and get a valid meaning in any language ? I am still unable to understand what he wanted to say here ? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">4.      &#8220;No Black Sudra hero or heroine, Dravidian, Untouchable, South Indian, Adivasi, Dalit, or otherwise, has ever made any name in `Bollywood&#8217;, the North Indian cinema industry.&#8221;</span><span>  </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Does this remind you the recent survey by The Hindu daily newspaper &#8221; no dalit in top 300 journalists &#8221; ?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">5.      . Buddha will suicide, if he reads this <em>&#8220;The Aryanised religions of Jainism and Buddhism entered South India. Although these religions were liberal with Aryan castes, and Buddha was in fact a Mongoloid, these faiths kept the fundamental Aryan-Sudroid apartheid Varna system. The Aryan Sinhalese Buddhists, invading from East India, meanwhile, exterminated the entire population of native black Dravidoids&#8221;</em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">6  &#8220;In every South Indian town one can see the white-skinned merchant dominating the business scene. Whether he is Marwari, Brahmin, Sikh or Punjabi, he enjoys protected status from the Aryan government in New Delhi. All the major companies in operation in the South, from Reliance to the State Bank of India, today are Aryan-controlled.</span></em></p>
