Lokpal and some related statements

2011-12-26T02:52:00.000-08:00

strange statements, comments given by some politicians, blogs by some peoples in power or opposition are not acceptable they are in bad taste and smell of dirty politics. Some leaders react as if stung by scorpion, does every comment require such reaction? Leaders of a ruling party have become so mean and foul mouthed that they deserve full condemnation. Everyone is free to speak whatever is in or her mind but some leaders are targeting Sri Anna Hazare. Sri Anna Ji never claimed that he is modern-day Gandhi. Every politician says that parliament is supreme, there is no doubt in any bodies’ mind, and even the uneducated people know that. People elect their representative not masters, who become arrogant after election. There is no doubt that only parliament can make laws, we all know there is no need to emphasize this point and use it to curtail our right to demand a good law , which will benefit our nation. Some of the politicians playing dirty games probably they have been given job to defame team Anna, and to derail the entire process of an affective Lokpal. In their times they were among most corrupt people. We are among most corrupt people in the world, what team Anna is demanding is an honest powerful Lokpal to eradicate the menace of corruption from this country. Most of us are involved in corruption in one way or the other. Some media persons are openly calling names as if they are expert or public have given them right to abuse them - who cannot defend themselves all the time. One or two of them are always there in every program, spoiling the show.

One of the hon. Minister is going full speed to tell people that he is the expert in law and only he can understand the bill correctly, in a debate on some channels he was shouting not giving other participants enough time. He was trying to justify a weak bill most of us know now what is a strong bill should have, changes or amendments can be made within parliament by our learned MPs, but voice of people and commitments by govt. must be Capt. in mind while formulating a historic bill. Some people now are raising the need of Lokpal in their opinion there is no need of a Lokpal. Team Anna and lots of us middle class people are wrong; we should not ask for a corruption free nation our efforts are useless. Let us give free hand to every supper class who are our lords.

Team Anna and Anna sahib should leave the matter to parliament now, let us see what they can do give them time. Mean while responsible leaders in power should prevent these spent forces to make dirty comments.

EGYPTIAN AGITATION

2011-02-11T02:05:00.000-08:00

Recent protestations' in Egypt are an ongoing series of demonstrations, marches, rallies, riots and clashes with police and pro Govt. thugs. This pro democracy unrest started from Jan.25th.2011 now millions of people are taking part in these rallies and marches. Hundreds were killed and hundreds wounded.

Tunisian Revolution fired Egyptian unrest the demonstrations and riots, part of the2010-2022 Arab world protest, started in the weeks after the Tunisian agitation, with many protesters carrying Tunisian flags as a symbol of their influence. Grievances for Egyptian protesters have focused on legal and political issues including police brutality, state of emergency laws, lack of free and fair electons and free speech and corruption, as well as economic issues including high unemployment, foof price inflation, and low minimum wages. The primary demand from protest organizers is the ouster of the Hosni Mubarak regime, and a new government that represents the interests of the Egyptian people, and respects rights of freedom and justice.

Egyptian military forces remained neutral and refused to fire on unarmed civilians demonstrators. This Govt. is dictatorship and younger generation and intellectuals as well as Muslim brother hood a main sunny Islamic but a secular party is also taking part in these agitations. Egyptian Christians are also taking part, reformer and leader of the National Association for change Mr. Mod. El Baradei is also supporting this public uprising.

Google official.Wael Ghonim lent his support and was arrested his release from custody and an interview on Dream TV, thousands of supporters joined a Face book page created in his honor. We authorize Wael Ghoneim to speak on behalf of the Egyptian revolution. International reactions have varied with most Western states saying peaceful protests should continue but also expressing concern for the stability. Many states in the region expressed concern and supported Mubarak, while others like Tunisia and Iran supported the protests. Israel was most cautious for change and PM is asking his government ministers to maintain silence and urging Israel's US and European allies to curb their criticism of President Mubarak; however, an Arab-Israeli parliamentarian supported the protests. There were also numerous solidarity protests for the anti-government protesters around the world.

NGOs also expressed concern about the protests and the ensuing heavy-handed state response. There were also numerous solidarity protests around the world. All types of dictatorships and military Govts. must go, democratically elected Governments with freedom of press and expression or dissent equal right for men and women rights to food, education and health and better living conditions is the most desirable. Such govt should reform political and constitutional laws rules and regulation as well as economic change is the need of the hour. Government should be corruption free and secular in real sense but in Muslim word it is always feared that fundamentalist forces may come to power, everybody knows what happened in Afghanistan. Let us hope and pray to almighty God to grant Egypt an ideal Government and better future.

GLOBAL PROBLEM OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

2010-08-10T23:15:00.001-07:00

GLOBAL PROBLEM OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

In the last few months, the topic of illegal immigration has been a big issue with lawmakers and the people in world. Generally speaking, illegal immigrants are just people trying to better their lives. They are fleeing oppression, chronic unemployment, poverty and little or no opportunities in their homelands, tyranny of their rulers and terrorism and wars. Police brutalities, and corrupt burocracy and hunger. However, in the process, they face some tough issues regarding immigration and the rule of law. These people are exploited in the process by unscrupulous officers, leaders, travel agents and corrupt govt. employees, communism is one of the reasons.

Illegal immigrants in the

U.S.

come north from

Mexico

in order to supply thousands of

U.S.

employers and farmers with low-skilled laborers. Besides US European countries and

Australia

face the same problem.

India

face the problem of Bangladeshi refugees .

Pros Of Illegal Immigration:
1. It helps keep the economy moving by filling low-wage jobs.
2. It provides a better lifestyle for those who enter the country illegally.
3. It creates a pool of consumers for a variety of goods and services.
4. Farmers are able to plant and harvest less expensively.
5. Contributions to social security funds often go unclaimed.
6. Illegal immigrants pay sales taxes.
7. Illegal residents, who are property owners, also pay real estate taxes.
8. Millions of illegal rent properties in depressed areas where renters are hard to find.
9. They purchase real estate and generate commissions for agents and brokers.
10. Illegal immigrants contribute to mortgage loan profits.
11. They open bank accounts that yield interest and dividends to bankers.
12. Many purchase auto insurance and contribute to insurers profits margins.

13. They contribute in development of the countries they migrate to

14. They provide cheep labors.

15. Some times they become vote banks and politicians take their advantage.

Cons Of Illegal Immigration:

1. Burden on tax-based resources, costing taxpayers billions of dollars.
2. Difficult prosecution and justice when perpetrators flee the country.
3. Disparity between legal immigrants who follow the rules and those who don't.
4. They risk death when traveling the desert to reach the borders.
5. Those who successfully cross the border inspire those left behind to do the same.
6. Continued growth of the demand for cheap labor and low wages.
7. No government reimbursement to offset states' illegal alien maintenance costs.

8. Potential negative effects on working and middle-class citizens.

9. Illegal money transactions
10. Mortgage loan fraud
11. Fake document mills
12. Imbalance in authorized immigration quotas

13.It gives chance to human traffickers, who take advantage of their situation and cheat them of huge amounts of money .some times make them boat people, leaving them on mercy of god.

14. some of these people take part in criminal activities and drugs and prostitution.

15. Govts.infiltrate spies and agents in other countries.

We live in very difficult times. Americans and people from other countries are feeling the pains pressures caused by unemployment, homelessness, poverty, and hopelessness, lack of education, low-paying jobs, stress and hunger. Should people from south of the border be blamed and criminalized in the courts of public opinion for trying to have a better life?
Illegal immigration is a complex issue but it is not an unsolvable problem. In my view, We'd be off to a good start if the government imposed hefty fines on employers who use illegal labor. The money collected should then be applied to implement efficient border security and law enforcement. As far as a fast track to U.S and European and Australian citizenship, I think that is wrong unless all other immigrants who have been patiently waiting, inside and outside the

United States

, are granted the same privilege.
At the end of the day, everyone is just another person trying to do the best he or she can to have a better life. Compassion and justice intermix, which brings me to the thrust of this article: considering illegal immigration pros and cons, does the end justify the means for the person who knowingly enters the country illegally? Should compassion outweigh legal justice?

BHOPAL GAS TRAGEDY OF 2/12/1984 JUSTICE NOT ONLY DENIED BUT MADE MOCKERY OF

2010-06-15T01:36:00.001-07:00

December 2 / 1984. Saw biggest industrial disaster of the world. It is a black date in our history. As it is evident that more then 15000 people and several thousand animals died, several hundred thousand suffered gas effect and are still suffering. Both the state and central govts were shy in admitting numbers of casualty. The state govt. failed in its duty no body knew what is cooking in their back yard. Hospitals were not informed of any ante dotes in case of any accident or gas leakage, what were the concerned departments doing. No proper inspection was done. Why no action was taken against the chief minister whose govt. failed in its duty .Minister responsible for commerce or companies affair was also equally responsible Officers posted in Bhopal at the time of gas leak and other officers may be prosecuted, strong action may be taken against them it is not too late.

In this case every department failed to do their duty, no proper examination was conducted by joint teams of scientists and company officials. Criminal negligence was done by both the govt.as well as Indian and US management of the company. Why politicians and officials got away Scot free. Very little sentence was given to UCIL officials.

Every thing is shrouded in misery; every thing is secret on one pretext or the other.

Very small amount was paid to the victims, it is said that only interest was paid and the original amount is still with the govt .people were fooled and many agents exploited the poor, red tape took its share. See the reaction on the judgment given in this case in following paras.

“It would be extraordinary for some thing like this to happen in the

. There is firm conviction here that justice delayed is justice denied. Regardless of the merits of any decision you have to decide it quickly enough so that the decision has consequences” said Professor Douglos Baired of the University of Chicago, Law School.

Kith Tyrell of Pesticide Action Network,

said “Criminal negligence is always difficult to prove but I find it unbelievable that it has taken more than 25 years, it’s a scandal. It would not happen in UK.Management in US has got away Scot free. Can’t imagine that would happen in the

Mark Senant of Industrial Risk Campaign, France Nature Environment said “It was a great shock for us to hear that for biggest industrial disaster in history ever, the conclusion of the judges was not at all matching up to the extent of damage. Neither the sentence nor the fine is adequate for the catastrophe. It’s not enough for the pain the victims and their family have suffered.”

International agencies cried foul, what the successive governments did in these 25 years? It took quarter of century to decide the matter in developed countries it was matter for months only. In this case our system of justice stands as failed with due respects to our judiciary system. Will we as victims ever get our compensation in time, many of us already gone and many will follow.

International media should come forward to press the governments, no body with money and power in the world could make mockery of the laws of the land.

CORRUPT SUPER BABUS OF INDIA

2010-04-30T22:16:00.000-07:00

Hats off to the honest, men and women of our country. They do an excellent job of successfully taking our country safely ahead, defending and running it. Now we must come to the point that when ever we open a newspaper or TV news channel there is news of corrupt babus and politicians. Corruption has become like cancer and is spreading badly pulling us behind, not only is the government machinery corrupt but people of all walks of life are involved in corrupt practices of one kind or the other.

Daily ghotalas (scandals) of one kind or the other are exposed, where babu +politician nexus is exposed. Super babus have license to do any thing. They know that govt. will not give permission for any action against them, or they can go to court where there are already millions of cases pending against them which emboldens them, as we have seen in several cases where justice was delayed.

Corruption is not only limited to babus and politicians but most of us citizens- businessman, doctors, lawyers, builders, transporters; common people are involved in this. Whereas some of us do not pay taxes, some pay less. We grab land by simply extending our boundary wall and some of us even use devices to cheat the electric meter or take extra water and gas connection.

Why, even taking permission to open a college, school, factory or any other business take much, more time, money and energy in our country then developed countries. There is lot of red tape to deal with. That is why single window system can not work here.

Bigger the people are, the more corrupt he/she becomes. Latest news tells us that the common man/woman is less corrupt. Why can’t we make new rules and regulations and amend the older ones to streamline the system. Committee of experts from all walks life should be formed to take strong actions and put a clean up operation in motion and to give an anti-cancer treatment to the system. Time has come to review the systems of IAS, IPS, and IFS, and see how other countries go about their daily business and how their machinery works smoothly.

How are we going to become numero uno, in the world? Our leaders are top class, they should take concrete action, there shouldn’t be any ghotalas and one mustn’t even think in one’s whole life to do any.

IPL DRAMA

2010-04-30T22:11:00.000-07:00

IPL has been a grand success and entertained us both ways as game of cricket and its drama of accusing each other. IPL has been running for three years successively now. Everybody took advantage of it one way or the other. Now suddenly everybody smells rat politicians who could not take any part, businessmen who could not get franchise and govt. agencies who were silent (probably got their share) became active and the media plays double role first they sing songs in favor and then take their pound of flash, become judge and executioner, there is a crowd of experts to give their comments. Some politicians criticize others while their own ministers are involved in corruption in the states ruled by them.

What were the govt. agencies doing? Every agency has its intelligence wing were they waiting for right time or ordered to take action to settle or set right some thing.

Now the time has come and the highest power of our nation should take strong action find the guilty and punish them, investigate every angle and do not spare how big the guy may be.BCCI should be dissolved and fresh body should be elected , keep away the politicians. A committee should look after the IPL and every thing should be crystal clear only then country will get its lost prestige and revenue.

Millions of us watch and love cricket and love to watch and win our players. When ever there are matches and our team or teams are playing we are glued to the TV. Some of the players are our heroes and our youth copy them, they are idols. Some players are respected internationally and bring good name to the country. So the game of cricket should not be politicized .Committees of respected personalities of sports should look after games we must see how other countries are developing their sports.

We should come back to IPL no doubt that 2010 IPL is also concluded successfully, without any incident.Thanks to Mr. Modi world saw that we handled every thing professionally, this bring our name to repute and shows the world that we are capable to do any thing. There are lots of allegations on Mr. Modi as said above a thorough probe is need of the hour.

ORGANIC FOOD

2010-01-19T01:23:00.000-08:00

Organic foods are made according to certain production standards. For the vast majority of human history, agriculture can be described as organic; only during the 20th century was a large supply of new synthetic chemicals introduced to the food supply. This more recent style of production is referred to as "conventional," though organic production has been the convention for a much greater period of time. Under organic production, the use of conventional non-organic pesticides insecticides and herbicides is greatly restricted and saved as a last resort. However, contrary to popular belief, certain non-organic fertilizers are still used^.If livestock are involved, they must be reared without the routine use of antibiotics and without the use of growth, and generally fed a healthy diet. In most countries, organic produce may not be genetically modified. It has been suggested that the application of nanotechnology to food and agriculture is a further technology that needs to be excluded from certified organic food. The soil association (

) has been the first organic certifier to implement a nano-exclusion. The chemical manures and fertilizers destroy the soil and its fertility, Soil also needs organic manure (THE COPOST).

Organic food production is a heavily regulated industry, distinct from private gardening. Currently, the European Union, the

United States

Canada

Japan

and many other countries require producers to obtain special certification in order to market food as "organic" within their borders. Most certifications allow some chemicals and pesticides to be used, so consumers should be aware of the standards for qualifying as "organic" in their respective locales.

Historically, organic farms have been relatively small family-run operations, which is why organic food was once only available in small stores or farmer’s market. However, since the early 1990s organic food production has had growth rates of around 20% a year.

Of the rest of the food industry, in both developed and developing nations. As organic food accounts for 1–2% of food sales worldwide and the soil is also damaged.

      What are the benefits of buying organic produce?

        Organic foods have a higher standard for health for several reasons. For starters organic food is not grown with any pesticides or nonorganic fertilizer and my favorite, no human waste fertilizer... Thank you! Another process that is used is called ionizing radiation. This process kills the bacteria but may cause genetic alterations. It is really pretty risky to eat non-organic food when we really have no idea what has been done to it. You can now have your own organic garden and watch it grow via web cam. That way when you get your organic food home delivery you know exactly how it was grown and what it was grown with.

          Today we have more options for getting organic food. With the internet it may be possible to watch our garden grow via web cam and have organic food home delivery... Amazing! In today’s time, however, organic foods are grown on larger farms and are more readily available in most supermarkets, co-ops, health food stores and my favorite organic food home delivery. In the

, parts of Europe and

Japan

, the production of organic foods is currently federally regulated and in other countries, specific organic certification is required before these foods can be sold. Ministry of Agriculture- GOVT. of

India

should come forward and encourage such farmers who produce organic crops.

Organic foods can include fresh vegetables and fruits, which are not processed and come directly from the growers through farmer’s markets, supermarkets and roadside stands or organic food home delivery. When you organic food home delivery it is like walking down to the farm and buying directly from the farmer. Many of these products are only available during certain times of the year.

In truth, processed organic foods need only contain a certain percentage of organic ingredients. In

Australia

, for example, a food can be labeled “organic” if it contains at least 95% organic ingredients. In other countries, however, the percentage can be less than that. There are no food additives in the nonorganic ingredients. In some cases, the organic food must be made using energy-saving techniques and packaged in recyclable or biodegradable materials. Bonus in already seeing good karma.

There is also organic farming and organic cows too. These cows produce milk without antibiotics, growth hormones, pesticides, and cloning. They are also fed with organic pasture, organic grains, and organic vitamin and mineral supplements. It has been stated that these organic cows are very peaceful and calm with their diets.
Going green and recycling are also on the rise in our society. We care more about the "Earth" and also about our "bodies". Some individuals are really up to speed with all of this, while others are just catching on. It should not matter where you are, as long as you are "aware" of this very enlightened attitude.

Organic clothes for your baby and organic guava fruit to take care of your skin and organic food to fill your tummy.
