Police mindset- Is muslim community responsible for its image?
It’s really sad and frustrating to have administrative behave in this way again and again. Its just irresponsibility and insensitivity. But to me, bigger frustration is poor response from the Muslim intelligentsia. I am deeply sad to find a clear absence of Muslim group who can come forward to blame the terrorist group for the troubles of the community equally. At least few top Muslim intellectuals can visit the effected areas! They can give collective statement to clarify that these terrorists are not doing any good to any one including Muslims! I don't mean that there is no resistance against the terror groups among the Muslim community but it’s weak and meek, too little for the size of the problem and the Muslim community. Basically the fundamentalists of both Hindu and Muslim groups just help each other! There are enough intellectuals among the Muslim community to make the society feel that there is a "large" and powerful group of Muslims against these shortcut ways of the terrorist groups. The excuse by the terrorist groups that they are responding to different injustice and other socio- politico- economico- administrative problems of our country specially pertaining to muslim community, must be played down by the majority and responsible muslim intelligentsia in the country up to the level to match the destruction (social) caused by the terror group. Which Muslims in our country are strong enough to do and they have been doing calmly and quietly as it’s obvious by the frustration of the terror groups. But should be loudly and adequate enough to be noticed easily. Till there is an obvious resistance against the antisocial groups in the Muslim community, police or people mindset will appear to be anti Muslim in a nut shell. It’s sad but that’s how it is.
"Public Hai Sab Janati Hai", common people know everything!- about nanavati commision on Godhara
I realy wonder what is the aim of these commisions? To give job to the unemployed retired judges, to bring out the truth, or to confuse the masses? I did not suspect that politicians try to strengthen their opinion by appointing commisions, as that fact is a non controversial issue.
To give jobs to the high profile judges, it has been a noble idea; as most of the enquiries last long . . . .realy long. ..... very long. Two most important criterias to finish the enquiry- arrival of next important election or cooling of the issue. So it serves the purpose of jobs to the judges very well. Some times even after death of the presiding judge the enquiry is not completed! What a sucessful life span of the judge! But if the aim of the commisions is the other two- its just wastage of the intelligentia in our judges! The reason is that Indian people know enough truth . . . .more than at least those in any short of power! Commisions may enlighten their other part of genral awareness but they don't change their ideas and they need not to because of some judge siting in some office some where! But if the aim is to confuse the maasses, our politicians are poor people to whom I have full sympathy as they have failed measurably in that at least in my knowledge! In case of Nanavati or Banerjee commision, people know all in and out! People know how and why a moving train will catch fire only in two boggies spontaneously? People also know who were involved in the conspiracy if at all it existed? whether it was the government or the muslim group! People also know how the riot spreaded. As every one knows what was the fate of the BJP government before Modi came to Ahmedabad from New Delhi and what happened in the elections after the riot! Not that I am jealous that Modi became strong after elections, I am worried that people specialy judges ignore that Modi knew how to become strong. But bigger question is what is the use of discusing it at this moment?

Regional devide in India
Regional divide in India
Hating the fellow beings is nature of the living world but its absence marks humanity. Dog barks on dogs, tree does not allow sun and water to other tree but humanity spells the difference! More you come out of it more human you are.
India and the concept of Indian nation throbs the best in the hearts of the people in the Hindi heartland. Last few decades after computer magic and decline in the control over the national affair by the congress party in general and the Nehru- Gandhi family in particular has made people in the Hindi heartland a second grade citizen. But things will not remain so as at last India lives in its villages and now villages are remaining only in the Hindi heartland! (Joking but turn around will happen) its not long that politicians will have to pay attention.

Floods in Bihar
Floods in Bihar have been a perennial problem. Even in the best controlled years from 1970 to 1990, when the hard work of earlier people was showing the effect, part of Bihar like districts of Drabhanga and Sahrsa used to be flooded. The reason is the perennial rivers coming directly from Himalayan ranges which swell during rainy season. On top of that there have been decades of corruption and ignorance which is now showing the effect. The fact is that for last many decades no maintenance work has been done effectively. Superadded to that is the increased rainfall due to global warming. Only after that we should blame the "kamala Maiya" (that’s how Koshi - the respected – due to fear-river of Bihar is called in the region- like ganga). Koshi is known to change its course from the time of known human history. basicaly the whole region is a low land. Last more than 60 years Koshi did not change its course. Due to barrage in the Nepal area continued to Indian Territory. Now we have a hostile government in Nepal. The Nepal PM says that the koshi pact was the biggest fault! So, present "Pralya" in Bihar should be seen in totality. Not with patial vision.
To solve the problem first thing should be that our politicians should honest. Then they should have conviction to solve the problem. The fact is that all the top politicians from Bihar are from Bhojpuri speaking area where flood is not a problem. Leaders in Mithila which is affected with flood keep licking the foot of these people so that they can eat the relief money without problem!
Given the difficult situation of lively hood, migration is unavoidable from Mithila region. Given the insult and poor response even in their own state (people in Bhojpuri speaking area don’t look at them with any different attitude than ones in Mumbai), people from there are going to be hard to be pacified. At least I wish so. I am sure very few people will have courage to go in the area after seeing the devastation of flood. But there are people who make their huts every year braving the nature and ignorance and resistance of their fellow citizens! Who can match their tolerance, persistence and bravery? And if these people come out will there be any one who can defeat them? Those who are braving the nature, if they come out of the region, who can face them? Can some one match their courage and patience? And what else do you need to rule the world? The effect will be seen though it will take few more decades.
