India’s Bio-metric identification system for it’s population.

This is one of the most disturbing fact about the new Biometric identification scheme, proposed by the government of India (GOI). The government wants to literally “tag” every Indian with a “human-dog collar“.

Truly, scary, truly Orwellian in nature.  I wonder what’s next? GOI collecting blood, urine, skin & hair samples, and extracting DNA and other biological and chemical composition from every human body that calls it’s self citizen of India.

India – Land of Gurus, Swamis & Swines, all equally guilty of promoting violence & illiteracy. (Part 1)

To:

Bal ThackerayShiv Sena, the right wing Hindu fundamentalist political party of India

My thoughts captured herein, are directly in response to your public admiration and support of Adolf Hitler, the Nazi bastard & mass murdering white supremacist thug who came to power by instigating violence and hatred against intellectuals, academics & religious leaders of Germany & Europe.

Adolf Hitler, the Nazi bastard & his henchmen are directly responsible for the most heinous atrocities ever committed against humanity & nature. Specifically, the mass murder of Jews across Europe.

Perhaps you & your family would have met the same end as your idol Adolf Hitler whom you have worshiped for more than five decades. You have described Adolf Hitler as a great leader, someone with a great personality and leadership qualities, well your statements illustrates to the world how ignorant you and your family are of world history and events. These pathetic and illiterate statements directly reflect upon your intelligence level, upbringing, family values, and much more.

It clearly demonstrates to the world at large as to what an illiterate you are. So goes the same for your immediate family members, friends, party members and followers of your right wing political party, the Shiv Sena.

Adolf Hitler, the Nazi bastard, mass murderer of millions of people, including innocent children, senior citizens, mentally and physically disabled people of Germany and Europe would have sent you, your wife and parents to the gas chamber, if Hitler had invaded India.

You and your kind would not have seen the light of day. You are just not an illiterate & violent human being but also a manifestation of evil in our world.

Our planet would be a better place without inhabitants of your caliber and intelligence.

THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA

PREAMBLE

WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC and to secure to all its citizens:
JUSTICE, social, economic and political;

LIBERTY of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship;

EQUALITY of status and of opportunity;
and to promote among them all

FRATERNITY assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation;

IN OUR CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY this twenty-sixth day of November, 1949, do HEREBY ADOPT, ENACT AND GIVE TO OURSELVES THIS CONSTITUTION.

A humble appeal to my fellow Indians

More violence in the name of God, community and religion took place in Mumbai.

Why can’t we all just get along?

How many more people need to be killed?
How many more mother’s have to loose their children?

How many more children have to loose their parents?

How many more spouses have to loose their partners?
Before we all can UNITE under the tricolor flag of India.If India can find ways and means to launch satellites, travel in space, build one of the most advanced missiles in the world & aspire to send a man to the moon in the next decade, such HIMALAYAN dreams can only be achieved by India by solving the most difficult problems in pure mathematics, engineering, astrophysics, chemistry, aeronautics and other scientific and social disciplines.

This truly shows that we are a nation of hard working intellectuals, who are open minded and ever ready for adventure and learning new things in life.

However, we are absolutely blinded by the subject of religion. India’s BIGGEST challenge of curbing communal disharmony, heinous acts of violence in the name of God is its inability to recognize that the true message of religion is HUMANITY.

We humans should start believing in HUMANITY more than what the good book teaches, because the very essence of loving GOD is to love & serve HUMANITY.

End the violence now and forever, speak up & hold our government officials and community leaders accountable for their lack of  integrity and understanding.

Let us all join hands and promise ourselves to respect each others views and religious beliefs even when they are in different than our very own, promise to respect each other’s Constitutional rights & to uphold the law.

Please, let us all get together and help India grow and transform into a more tolerant, civil & peaceful nation looked upon, well respected and admired by other countries of the world.Thank you

Help transform India – Fight for your Constitutional rights

Wake Up India

Fight for your Constitutional rights, because your Government wants you to be illiterate & subservient

While the majority of India‘s population lives in abject poverty & faces severe malnutrition, shortage of food, water, clothing, low income housingrunning water, electricity, healthcare & education, which forces millions of poverty stricken parents to take desperate measures such as having their 5 & 6 year old children to work as bonded laborers (slaves) in the most appalling conditions and without adequate food, education, shelter or sanitary conditions.

Instead of declaring WAR on the very problems that keep India in absolute mindbogglingly poverty.

The Government of India (GOI) has decided to declare WAR on its citizens by undermining their intelligence and attacking their Constitutional rights.

The Government of India and the selected (not elected) criminals in the Indian parliament in New Delhi cannot stomach the fact that dissent, and a more outspoken citizenry demanding their legal rights, enforcement of laws, equality, due process, accountability and civility from its government (Saarkar) are gathering momentum.

It is only a matter of time before UNITED CITIZENS OF INDIA (Hindus, Muslims, SikhsJains, Christians, Jews and many more) are more likely to bring law and order, civility, accountability and respect to the nation and to its democratic institutions.

A civil revolt of Himalayan proportions is inevitable if Indians get more legal rights, knowledge from the Internet, education and awareness of their region and the world in which they live in. This is the BIGGEST threat to the criminal politicians who want to keep the masses under their thumb.

Curbing free speech, expression and general knowledge only helps the criminal politicians to solidify their positions of power.

WE will not let this happen.
