Brutalism at its best: Well Done!!!!
Upendra Srivastava
My mind absolutely got numb over brutal and barbaric act done by delhi police over the Ram Lila Maidan and this shows the actual mind set of the central government which has been “democratically” selected.

The central govt., and delhi police definitely deserve three cheers and applaud from us.

I’m questioning myself, is this kind of democracy we’re aiming to live in where any one can’t even protest for just demands. Though I’m not a fan of Baba Ramdev but whatever happened has only left every one deep pain and grief.

After independence this country has been transformed a lot and so is the ideology of the congress party as well I guess. Else I don’t find any reason, Satyagrah as one of the ideology on which the great leaders of congress party fought for independence of the country would behave exactly like britishers.

We all know Mr. Rahul Gandhi is quite passionate towards the right of common people, their protection which was quite evident when he tried to visit Saberi village in Greater Noida. If no one else but surely I’m waiting if he could comment on this incident but I’m very much sure he will not because the whole Gandhi Family is HIPPOCRATES, OPPORTUNISTS AND THEY INDULGE THEMSELVES WHERE THEY OR THEIR PARTY COULD GAIN POLITICAL ADVANTAGE. Whether it is going into the Saberi village or sitting in between the common people in Cricket World Cup Semi Final match 2011.

Just one point I want to make, this central govt., till now has not been able to execute Afzal Guru whose death sentence was ordered way back because they don’t have the guts to do it but this govt., has the guts to lathi charge, to fire tear gas on sleeping children and women and to set the tent ablaze on fire.

This incident has totally exposed the black faces of govt., and the overall conclusion is whatever happens be it lac’s and  crores of scams, surrounded by corrupt politicians, we continue to die paying income taxes and continue to live in high inflation environment  - we should remain dumb & deaf viewer else we’ll be crushed to death!!

Once again three cheers for our democratic corrupt govt.!!!

Dear readers do leave your comments with your thoughts on this as well!!

With Love!!!

U.P: Money Money Money!!!!
Upendra Srivastava
It’s all about maya (money maya) in Uttar Pradesh. I remember a song from Akshay Kumar’s film, “tu paisa paisa karti hai, paise pe kyu tu marti hai”. I don’t how much did this song make sense in the movie but definitely it make sense for the India’s biggest state, Uttar Pradesh.

Recent a law for ‘right to education for every child’ passed in the assembly. On one hand the effort of Central govt. was appreciated for putting this in place. At the same time on the other hand, statement was made by the Chief Minister of U.P. for the non-availability of the funds for implementing the law in the state.

Well a genuine person can only laugh at this.

Everyone knows how crores of money was invested/wasted in building monuments, statues of Mayawati and Kanshiram. She had money for constructing parks and monuments, she had money to wear a money garland but she doesn’t have money to implement right to education law in the state.

Probably what I can understand, Mayawati wants to create her own legacy as Kings & Mughals did in the past.

IN ANCIENT history, there were many dynasties and empires. Emperors spent lots of money on art and architect. Beautiful buildings were built, which shows the legacy and excellence of the king and his respective dynasties. In those tombs, they tried to show the deeds of the king, they have shown the proper court assembly or any other story, which shows the greatness of the king, was carved over the walls of the huge tombs. Buildings and monuments were made so that coming generation would get some idea about the king or its dynasty.

The time has passed away but there is still a kind of rabidity or a passion of showing off the legacy. Especially with the activities happening in Uttar Pradesh, I can figure out; not everything has changed; only the process of working has changed. King’s rule is absent only in name and minister rule is still there. Earlier governments used to be by the king but for the people, but now, it is by the minister/Chief Minister and for the minister/Chief Minister.

A newspaper had published the photograph of the memorial. Two huge metallic tombs were facing each other. A howling metallic round shape stupas were standing. Each is built on a 20-foot-high platform across five lakh square feet of area and standing about 200 m away from the main structure of the building.

The stupas were built in Lucknow and are believed to be the biggest dome in the country. Mayawati has spent lot of time, money and land over the project. An elephant gallery with 60 stone statues of BSP’s election symbols and a gallery with statutes of six Dalit icons . Three statues of Mayawati have already been installed. The project initiated on 23 acres since Mayawati’s first tenure as CM, is now spreads across 123 acres in Gomti Nagar, Lucknow.

Not only this, she had built at least seven memorials including parks like Mnyawar Kanshi Ram Memorial, Kashi Ram Bhujan Nayak Park, Ramabai Ambedkar Rally Maidan, etc. She has spent over crores in these projects.

How has she gathered such a huge amount of money and the land?

Well the fact is no one in the state can dare to ask this question. But she has the courage and guts to demand money from the Central govt. to implement a law.

In this new millennium, on one hand all nations are looking eagerly towards India and are willing to partner/work closely. There at the same time a state of India, capable to invest hundreds of crores of money for construction demands money to implement a law.

Being an idealistic youth of this country, it’s my opinion. These incidents only bring pain and grief in my heart. I don’t know where and when these dirty political games would be over but I do know is that everything has an end date and one day it will definitely end.

Please do mention your thoughts as well.

With Love!!!

Mumbai, MNS – Shiv Sena and My name is Khan!!!!
Upendra Srivastava
My last to last article was on 'IPL Snub' - happened couple of weeks ago. For the article I got some of the positive and negative comments (including the emails received).

The dramatic & surprising sequence of the IPL is still continuing, as everyone know what's happening in Mumbai - the issues raked up by the Shiv Sena and the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena. Yes, you all are correct, issues for North Indians residing in Mumbai and declaring Shahrukh Khan as an anti-nationalist personality.

Recently, I've received some of my readers email questioning me, “if I agree with the decision taken in IPL then I also may be agreeing with the assertions made by the Shiv Sena for Shahrukh Khan and probably for North Indian too”.

My dear friends let me first clarify - I myself belong to North India so there is no question of agreeing with this issue. And trust me even if I had not been a North Indian then also I would have never agreed with this issue.

Now, let’s come onto the next bright & burning issue, prevailing in the country - the comments made by 'Shiv Sena and MNS' for their cheap popularity. Let us think for a while, a political party (with handful of workers, only limited or say confined to Maharashtra) is vomitting poison for the people of India in the name of Marathi & Non-Marathi, and hence doing devise to divide people of India. Then how can anyone believe that both these parties can talk about a country as a whole (for India & Pakistan).

Let me take this up-frontally and candidly that today ‘Pakistan’ may not be a greater threat but definitely both of these parties, their method of sayings, dividing people of North and Maharashtra may prove greater danger & damage to our country. Again as I always say for this I’ve my own reasons, such as:

Divide & Rule policy: East India Company (Britishers) ruled on us for almost 200 years by following the principle of – “Divide and Rule”. Both these also parties have adopted the same principle and are dreaming to rule over Maharashtra at-least if not India. Trust me friends, even if this North Indians and Marathi issue is resolved, on the very next day both these parties would bring another issue that would even divide Marathies as well.

Original norms & values: Shiv sena has basically forgotten their original norms and values, and MNS a virtual subsidiary (as Raj Thakerey initially were part of Shiv Sena) thus the same applies to them as well.

To my understanding original norms and values of Shiv Sena is complete devotion to country.

I would like to get into very basics, the ideal of both these parties (mine as well and probably of all Indian) “Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj” is known for his devotion to the country as a whole, he fought & struggled against the enemies of the country. His thought, his vision of an Independent India was not limited to Maharashtra itself. And I think, this is what Maratha’s are known for.

My first question to the Marathi people, are they proud of what is happening in Mumbai? And would they inculcate the same concept in their children too.

My next question, let’s for the time being forget who Marathi is and who is Non-Marathi. Do we agree with what is happening in Australia with the Indians?

I’m confident that Mr. Bal Thakrey and Mr. Raj Thakrey must be ‘OK’ with it, as what they are doing in Mumbai the same things Australians are doing their own country. And I think Mr. Raj Thakrey must send their children in Australia for studies and I would love to know his reaction when he is being given the dose of his own medicine.

What anyone does not expects from others, he/she should not do same to others. If we do not appreciate rude and rod action taken by Australians against Indians, how can we justify unlawful, discriminating action being created in Maharashtra. Any Indian having good sense will certainly not (no question arise) appreciate their dividing & discriminating action.

Every person in this world look forward to opportunity, as of now Mumbai is having an edge as most of the Multi-National Companies and Industrial sectors are there. So it is but natural that the people from all over the country look forward to this city. The same applies to all over the world, people have migrated from India to U.S., U.K. etc., as and when opportunity came in the way. But my dear friends please note – if all the countries may have followed the same theory which Shiv Sena and MNS are following then India today would had been 30 years back in the development.

Spiritualism, an illusion: I’ve always seen from my childhood, Mr. Bal Thakrey wearing Saffron clothes, rudraksha mala in his neck, his party is also named on ‘Lord Shiva’. All together these things automatically brings a perception about the party but when it comes about it’s actions then the picture is completely different. This is for the simple reason that spiritualism (for any religion) actually unities people, bring people together, bring peace and harmony.

Everyone knows that the Blood Group may differ but Soul Group can never. A body contain different organs, and if anyone tries to separate an organ from his body then would his body work or would he be able to survive?

Our country is a body and different regions are its different organs. The racial issues raised by both these parities are not for the welfare of Marathi people but for paralysing the body (our country).

And probably that’s the reason I quoted above, Pakistan may not be a greater threat but shortly discriminating notion of these parties are!!!

26/11: a very unwanted and unfortunate incident happened in our country. I remember how whole country stood up for Mumbai; I personally kept the new channel opened for complete 3 days. After everything got over, everywhere in India prayers for the peace and well being of Mumbai were organised.

During this whole incident, where were Mr. Raj Thakrey, Mr. Bal Thakrey and Mr. Uddhav Thakrey? I never saw them appearing in front of any news channel and mentioning any condolence for the people died in the attack. Didn’t these so called ‘Lions’ (by themselves only) had the guts to face people. If they’re so much obsessed with Marathi people then at that time they should have stood up in front and must have declared that only Marathi people will fight this war and no outsiders allowed.

Declaring Shahrukh as an anti-nationalist: What crime has Shahrukh committed for him to be declared as anti-nationalist? It is only that he spoke just what he thought genuine then probably after this article is published, I may also be declared an anti-nationalist person or probably a fatwa kind of thing would be issued from Mr. Bala Shaheb Thakrey against me, who knows?

And I believe if all Indians starts speaking honestly with their mind then might be Mr. Thakrey would declare whole country as anti-nationalist. Probably, the definition of a true national in the mind set of both these parties are those who supports their point/concept, rest all are anti-national.

Every person in India is entitled to make fair comments but it is in no proper way and just to my mind that such great artist should be declared anti-nationalist, Mr. Shahrukh Khan is also an Indian and as loyal to the country as anybody can be.

Frankly speaking, my respect for Shahrukh Khan has increased to a lot – first of all with great dignity and confidence he spoke honestly what he felt about the incident happened in IPL and thereafter his denial of apologising even in so much of pressure (his next big film is just about to release).

At Last: Dear Readers - I just wanted to say that I had these things going in my mind but wasn’t able to convey. Truly speaking, I have said everything but many things is left to say and I’m sure your precious comments would fulfil it.

It’s now high time for us to raise our voice rather than hearing their noise, we’ve to bring ourselves together so that we can show them the real picture. I’ve already done my bit and would require your support to make it successful.

Please forward the link of this article to your friends and family and get their comments on it, more comments would show what mass thinks about it and thereafter I would send this article to media, letting them know what’s the verdict of people on these issues.

With lots of love……………

IPL Snub - reminding something!!!
Upendra Srivastava
To start - I am personally happy with what has happened in IPL auction for the neighbouring players. I may be sounding a bit of arrogant and against the mission that Times of India is carrying forward for the peace in between two countries but for this I’ve my own reasons.

In Short, I would like to write my reason and rewind a short story what happened months back:

It has already been a perfect strategy of our neighbour to impose a proxy war on us such that the blame does not go on them and we (India) on the other hand succumbs under the International pressure resulting no retaliation.

This is being carrying on for the last 50 years, and it was repeated again on 26/11 – hand full of terrorist tried to invade Mumbai. Clearly after investigation (this included FBI from US) and Geo news channel - it was proved the terrorist were from Pakistan. But from day 1, Pakistan refused it’s role in it and always reiterated the statement, “people involved in this attack were not from their country”.

OK dude – after this statement all proofs after thorough investigation when handed over to Pakistan in the form of Dossier. The proofs were so evident and so strong that this country was not in a position to deny – thus here what a new statement was rolled out, “the people involved in the attack were from their country but they are non-state actors and Pakistan is not responsible for them and has nothing to do with them”.

Agreed friend, if you call them non-state actors then based on the proofs given, please hand over the convicts and perpetrators to us so that charges on them could be resulted into the conviction. Here comes again a perfect stupid smartness of Pakistan – even though the people are non-state actors but as these people belong to their country the trials would happen in their own country and for that more proofs were demanded from India.

Everyone knows how many times proofs were handed over to Pakistan and till now what has been done from their side. All this drama for demanding proofs and trials were just a time pass as they knew that as the time would pass all these reactions would fade away automatically.

And I think this anticipation wasn’t wrong though. As time progressed, the grievances every Indian had in their hearts began to melt down (we have almost forgotten the days we’ve seen in the past). To draw a bridge in between the two countries Times of India also started its Peace mission, organising concerts in between the artists of the two countries.

But my question is why it is required and will it change anything? Haven’t this been done is the past and that to a much larger extent and has it changed anything? Will this concerts and collaboration ensure that such type of attacks will not happen in future?

Recently a statement has come from Pakistan, “they cannot guarantee if the attacks like 26/11 will not happen again”. Again it’s very simple to understand - if they will not act against them then they will never be in position to guarantee, as still the Lashker, Jaish-e-mohammad are still active within their territory.

Trust me guys I’m very much happy what has happened in IPL – it still shows that some way or the other we’ve managed to retain the pain of 26/11 in our hearts. It is very simple to understand the theory of “Give and Take”. If Pakistan would have shown it’s eagerness to bring the perpetrators of 26/11 to conviction then probably the relation in between the two countries would have been much different/better.

But as they’ve shown absolute reluctance in it then it’s fine with us – life continues, we’re on the path of becoming an Economic power and we’ll continue to do so but for us they hardly matter anymore. As rightly said by Modi in his interview –“Pakistani players not being selected in IPL is not an issue and it is not to be discussed any more, and we owe no explanation to them”.

These are my thoughts. Dear readers, I would like to know your thoughts as well, please do leave your comments (whatever you feel like) as it would help me to introspect myself also to understand if my thinking is right.

Cheers!!!!

With lots of love…………….
Upendra.
