ANTIQUES

"Gow Mata" pe atyachar, zulm

 Pradakshina with force. poor things are being dragged with rings inserted through their nostrils.

Ring in the nostrils. Pathetic. Poor 'holy cow' is in pain. swamiji is almost strangling the calf.

Thanks TOI for these photos.

TO ' baba' Ramdev

Saw your advertisement, ‘ Use patanjali cow’s ghee’.  Very sad! Have the ‘holy’ cows given their consent?

Have you noticed pain in the eyes of cows when you deprive their offspring of their right?

SAD!

Ethnic cleansing

In the interview with H S Phoolka ( TOI 23^rd Nov. 2015) Rohit E David prompts him with his question “ you draw a link between 1984, Gujrat riots and Dadri lynching in current times”. 

I am reminded of “A tale of two ethnic cleansing in Kashmir” (January 18, 2015 Swaminonics TOI”.

I quote:

“Recently, an ex-general — also a Pandit — told me the Indian media had underplayed the tragedy of his tribe. I agreed, but added that the media has also ignored the earlier mass expulsion of Muslims from Jammu. This surprised the ex-general: I’ve never heard of that, he declared.

He is not alone. Although our media pride themselves on free and bold speech, they maintain a conspiracy of silence on some issues relating to the supposed “national interest.” This includes the mass killing and expulsion of lakhs of Muslims from Jammu in 1947. That story should be recalled on this somber anniversary.

Today, Jammu is a Hindu-majority area. But in 1947, it had a Muslim majority. The communal riots of 1947 fell most heavily on Jammu’s Muslims; lakhs fled into what became Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. That turned Jammu’s Muslim majority into a Hindu majority. In sheer scale, this far exceeded the ethnic cleansing of Pandits five decades later”.

Why Modiji admires Sardar Patel?

Sardar Patel was Home Minister during Hyderabad police action. Please read Sundarlal report in the following URLs.

census 2011 incomplete

Census 2011 gives many details such as:

1)      All India share of population of all religions.

2)      State wise population of all religions.

3)      Growth rate of population of religions.

4)      Sex ratio state wise of all religions.

5)      Faith in cities.

Times of India’s head line is, “ Muslim share of population up 0.8%, Hindus’ down 0.7% where as The Hindu has headline ‘Muslim population growth slows’ and ‘Gap with Hindu growth rate narrows’. What a difference of approach!

But very important details are missing , such as:

1)Population and growth rate of Dalits and tribals—all India as well as state wise.

This is necessary because Hinduism is a fourfold society—brahmins, vyshyas, kshatriyas and shudras. Dalits and tribals are not within the Hindu fourfold. This is what I studied in sociology. So, this important information is missing from the census report.

2) All the four rungs of Hinduism’s ladder have many sub divisions.

In Karnataka there are three groups of Brahmins—deshastha, saraswath and madhava.

Among shudra caste there are many sub castes. In Andhra and telangana for example there are Reddys, khammas, velamas, kapus, telagas, gouds, yadavs and munnuru kapus.

In Hyderabad one finds association of each sub caste.

There must be similar sub castes in all the states of India. Census report would have been complete if the details of all these sub castes were projected as they have done for all religions.

Sauchalaya pe charcha

In a small open space of village house Vidyaji is sitting on a charpai and woman of the house on her door step. Suddenly a young girl comes from inside and gestures to her mother about her nature’s call and starts moving out of the house.

 Vidya: what is wrong?

 Woman: she is going for easing.

 Vidya: what? In the open?

 Woman:yes.

Vidya: takes out a strip of tablets and tries to give it to the woman saying, your daughter will go and ease in the open. Flies will sit on that and the same flies will come and sit on your food. So your daughter will get sick. Thereafter she has to take tablets.

Woman: I never thought of that. Madamji what is the remedy.

Vidya: build a sauchalaya in the house.

Woman : we have a very small open space.

Vidya: Sauchalaya will take very little space. May be 3 feet by three feet.

Woman: then it is OK. How much cost?

Vidya: bans ki tatti ki deewaren. Chat ki jaroorat na.

 Woman: but that pot like thing and a small tank with a chain. How much will they cost.

Vidya: some Rs. 5000/- only

Woman: he prabhu! Ye very costly. We will manage.

Vidya:Very good.

Woman: we have water scarecity.

Vidya: no worry, every village will have many wells.

Woman: Vidyaji on the roads dogs, cats and monkeys ease, flies do not sit there?

Vidya: Bahenji animal defecation is not harmful.

 Woman: when we ease in our sauchalaya where will the dirt go? There is a house next to ours’.

 Vidya: tank has to be constructed under ground.

 Woman: how much will it cost?

Vidya: I also do not know. I will consult and come back
