These Three Acts are boon and not bane to farmers. Oppositions instead of putting forth its objections across the board, they had chosen the “Streets” and “Agenda of Accusations”.  One Party Chief had gone on record to declare openly in public forum that “when his party comes to power, the first duty is to tear these 3 bills and consign them to dust bin.”   Even his own party Prime Minister had got the taste of his ‘tearing the duly cabinet approved bill to be thrown into dust bin.” Actually, he tore the bill into pieces and threw them into the air. Such utterances are not acceptable in a democracy. Dissent is a core principle of democracy and it should be effetely brought home to th...

There were demands by Hindus then to hand over 3 Sites of Hindu Temple Lands at Ayodhya, Kasi and Mathura by the Muslims in order to heal the wounds of Hindus who had suffered under ...

  Demise of Warrior  Monk  Rama Gopalan Born: 1927  - Died: 30-09-2020 at the age of 94 Born in 1927 at Sirkazhi, Mr. Gopalan joined the RSS in 1945. He founded the Hindu Munnani in 1980 under the guidance of the RSS. Following the Meenakshipuram conversions  of Hindus in February 1981, in which around 200 Dalit families of the village converted to Islam as caste Hindus practiced untouchability, he tried to rally Hindus and prevent such conversions. Hindu Munnani was formed to protect the religion from attacks by Islam, Christianity, Communism and those claiming to be rationalists.  It is also advising Hindus practicing untouchability and caste discrimination to give up these obnoxious  practices to save Hindu religions from conversions. In 1984, he escaped a bid on his life at the Madurai railway station. He was among those instrumental in turning immersion processions of Vinayaka idols into a public event in the last 30 years. In 19...

 

  Modi Completes 70 Years on the 17 th September 2020 In 1942, John Maynard Keynes remarked: In the long run, almost anything is possible. For that to happen, one should follow Gandhi’s advice of  “Ekla cholo re” or walk alone. That does not mean anti-listening but courageously walk difficult paths of the greatest good for the greatest number. Yes, Modi had practiced the principles of Keynes and Gandhi in letter and spirit. With Courage and Conviction unmindful of victory or defeat in elections, Modi after getting the massive mandate to rule had done wonders so far: Demonetization,  Clean India Programmes,  Clean Energy Schemes, Electrifications of all places including remote tribal inhabited hill areas, One India – One Pension, One India – One Ration Card, Easy Gas Connections and availability of Gas Cylinders, Ease of Doing Business by abolishing or subsuming  many outdated laws and rules, Houses for Middle Class and Poor People, Goods and Services Tax - GST,...

  On 15 th June 2020 at Galwan,  there were stand-off between the Chinese and Indian Soldiers and in that fight no fire arms or explosives  were used. Instead, they fought barehanded, and with sticks and rocks. The restraint to use fire arms was based on an agreement reached in 1996. Chinese soldiers had used nail-studded rods and it was stated that some Indian soldiers had fallen off the cliff during the fight. As PLA had chosen the night time and as our Soldiers were fast asleep, the casualties were high on our side. It was a treacherous and cowardly attack by the Chinese. In that scuffle, 20 Indian Soldiers were killed and 76 injured in the worst clash between India and China Soldiers in decades. There were casualties in China’s side, but, the details were not available. At an altitude of 4,300 metres (14,000 feet), the critically injured were exposed to low oxygen levels and sub-zero temperatures overnight, and transportation difficulties on the steep ridge over the ...
