Choices!!

Choices!!

So yes the internet community has gone viral with Deepika Pudukone’s vogue women empowerment video. There have been praises as well as critical remarks some calling it a publicity stunt. Women have come forward condemning her message and writing and posting hate messages on social media sites.

I personally believe in gender equality and not supremacy. So if I am in agreement of women having the “choice” of having babies/not having babies, marrying/not marrying, having sex/not having sex, then I am also in agreement with granting men the same prerogative. Every civilization lives by certain rules and for the civilization to achieve optimal development its foundation should be equality. Equality in freedom of speech, equality in making choices, equality in life. Sadly we have not yet achieved this and gender inequality is one of the biggest concern of this nation where women are still considered an under-privileged class and section. Hence great emphasis is laid on concepts like Women’s day. Women empowerment videos, women cells and so on. But does this actually deal with the real issues?? Personally I liked the Vogue empowerment video “start with the boys” starring Madhuri Dixit better which taught the audience that mothers and would be mothers should start right at the beginning by educating their sons , teaching them the right thing. If we start at the grass root level where mothers teach their sons that you and your sister have the same rights, privileges and love, in fact you are the same I think the bias created by centuries old traditions and culture will cease to exist and we will celebrate true independence.

Ten-year-old Sadiq always wanted to catch thieves and uphold the rule of law. He dreamt of sitting on the Police Commissioner’s chair at his desk, sign important files, and give instructions to the orderlies. On Wednesday, all his dreams came true.

Clad in a well-ironed police uniform, replete with medals, honorary badges, shiny shoes, and belt embossed with the insignia of Telangana police, Sadiq assumed Hyderabad Commissioner’s office.

Files were brought and kept on his desk for signatures. It was a day to remember for Sadiq who hails from Peddapalli, Karimnagar, and is terminally ill.

Before assuming office, Sadiq was given a ceremonial welcome by the police when he arrived at the Commissioner’s Office. As the child walked inside the building, the staff lined up to catch a glimpse of their ‘new commissioner’.

Later, Sadiq walked into the chambers of Police Commissioner, M. Mahendar Reddy, and took the chair.

Looking at the picture above , my first impression was that people in suits and bow ties are already feeling scared of Dhoti clad Doodwallas.

This picture was published in NEW YORK TIMES on the successful mission to MARS by ISRO. Being a racist cartoon, they ofcourse had to apologise later.I guess the country still thinks india as a land of Cows and Dhotis. If that is so, i guess they are in for a lot of surprises .

Delhi Daredevil : A Walk in Old Delhi "Where Pedestrians get caught in a Jam"

2015-03-31T16:07:00.002+05:30

Walking on the old delhi city roads, pathways (if there are any left) is a daredevil task in itself. It can perhaps have the distinction of being the only place on earth where pedestrians can get caught in a traffic jam.

Its Navratra time here now and people are busy doing shopping for the festivities approaching. And what better place in delhi but the walled city to purchase some dirt cheap stuff. Alas the jam ...it takes some hopping off the Rickshaw wheels or jump up above the thellas. Not to mention the shopkeepers who feel its there right to park there scooters and there Stocks in front of shops, since the government did not provide them with necessary space.

Thankfully not only the passerby's but every single human being here has the "Chalta hain attitude" .... I guess its just about perfect too... because no one here cares... the life here runs... it aint gonne stop for you to pass !!

Cant we do this .... .?

2014-09-25T01:03:00.000+05:30

I have travelled a lot in the short span of my adulthood :-). From Nz to Spain ...from dubai to Indonesia . Need i say that these countries are developing and mostly are developed. What amazes me is not the money around, the high rise buildings or state of the art equipment everywhere.

What is most astonishing is the civic sense these people follow. I will put a few things i noticed in points ....

Its heartening to see that on the road even if you are passing Busiest of roads, there are no honking cars, there are no screeching sounds of unruly drivers trying to rush out of there queues. There are just calm and composed drivers , enjoying there drive. Cant we follow this ?

It causes so little traffic jams on road , when the cars stick to there lanes. Its amazing how much confidence these drivers have in each other , of sticking to there lanes. Cant we follow this ?

It feels so good when a entire fleet of cars stops for a single elderly lady trying to cross the road. And if she is slow in moving, everyone shows such patience that your mood improves. Cant we follow this ?

I am amazed at how in those narrow doors of metros/trains/lifts the passengers standing outside wait patiently for people inside to get down first . Cant we do this ?

What we follow is a regime of wayword honking , trying to scare the road crossers, while we speed away past them, and not to mention, cant we be a little more civic when we board publich trasnport like metros, buses trains ...?

am sure some of you will think..." its not possible with 1 billion population" .....but then....Be the change you want to see in this world....

Given a little power , We dont like standing in queues and We expect our politicians to work honestly ...Double Standards ????

Why only ninety percenter students... Why not 60 % ?

2013-03-09T20:13:00.001+05:30

The Schools, Colleges today are keen on admitting students with higher percentage. They come up with cut off lists, accepting application of students with highest of marks and abilities !! Your child gets rejected just because he scored a little less then the other, and he is not even given the chance to prove himself .

My question is , is this correct ? In a world of competition where everybody wants to be the best and be with the best, yes it is !!

But what about the other students, scoring a mediocre 60-70 percent or for that matter 80%. Where do they stand ? You might say, they have the second grade schools, which surely will admit them.

The point is, if all the 90% students are in one school, what exactly are these schools doing to grow/teach these students. Aren't they already close to perfection ? If these so called top notch schools/colleges are to prove themselves, they should atleast allow a certain percentage of week students in there strength and allow these students to grow and learn with the top students. (on a funnier note , a quota for 60-70 percenters).

This will give these week students a strong opportunity in the company of top students to prove themselves and learn from them. They would see how to achieve perfection without pressurizing themselves. They need motivation, and it comes best from fellow age friends.

Am sure this balanced system will help our new generation . This kind of thought should be the need of the HOUR !!

Well said Lady ... They deserved it !!

That's our Fearless Capital ......

2012-12-19T16:59:00.003+05:30

The bus driver Ram singh went out with his 6 friends ( 2 rkp sabzee wale + all bihari ) the girl and the guy was called by the driver and were given proper tickets ( the bus was a school bus with black curtains .. Not permitted for transport use ) the girl was 23 a very good student and wanted to reach dwarka mor.
After they got in , the guys hit a rod on the guys's head and threw him out , then raped the girl one by one which was moving continuously in the posh areas of delhi and ncr.
After raping her badly , one of them inserted a very long rod in her vagina which almost killed her and threw her out and ran away.

She was lying in the middle of the rod hurt and nude.. Not even single person helped her or covered her for an hour.
When police came in no one helped them pick her up. They were just not interested at all.

The girl's vagina + small and large intestine is totally damaged and she cannot live a married or normal life. Doctor said " main bayan nahi kar sakta ki ussne kya kya zheela hai ... Bolte hue muzhe dard hota hai ". She has gone in coma 5 times from 16th dec. She is unconscious , critical and is non stop crying. The ribs are damaged as well.

That's the whole story
And that's what delhi people are.
And her only fault was that she took a wrong bus!

I'm not ashamed to broadcast such a message to make people aware that what's going on in our capital!! 'So called capital'.

Yamuna Cleanup Scam? Rs 12,000 Crores Gone?

2012-10-31T21:40:00.001+05:30

The total is nearly Rs 12,000 crores, gone from the exchequers of different governments over the past 18 years. That's nearly Rs 12,000 crores spent to clean up the Yamuna river and it remains as polluted as ever. It may not be long before you start hearing about the "Yamuna cleanup scam" because, according to the Indian Express, a Supreme Court bench, constituting Justices Swatanter Kumar and Madan B Lokur, on Tuesday has asked from a response from all stakeholders on “what fruitful purpose has been achieved” because it's a question of nearly Rs 12,000 crores down the drain.

The bench said, "The Union of India shall also inform the court whether the Yamuna River Development Authority, constituted by a notification in 2007, is still in place and operational. It shall also inform what steps have been taken by this authority and the extent of compliance.” the bench said, also directing that the minutes of the Authority be placed before it. By November 9th, the bench expects to see all cleanup plans and their results and the state of the various sewage treatment plants and their operation status.

Is This a Rs 12,000 Crore Yamuna Cleanup Scam? Main numbers from the last 18 years:

Delhi and UP : Rs 4,439 crores
Municipal Co-operation of Delhi: Rs 315 crores
Delhi Jal Board: 2,072 crores
Haryana: Rs 549 crores
Union government: Rs 1,540 crores

How Polluted is the Yamuna?
To give you an idea about just how polluted the Yamuna is, the Central Pollution Control Board reportedly gave evidence that while the permissible level of coliform is 5000 units/100ml, the level at Nizamuddin Bridge is 17,00,00,00,000 units. This isn't new information either. In 2008, Newsweek reported that the level of fecal bacteria is 10,000 times higher than what is considered safe for bathing. In that year, 3.6 billion litres of untreated sweage was dumped into the Yamuna every day. Currently, 18 drains from Delhi dump untreated sewage into the Yamuna. These drains belong to unauthorised and irregular colonies.

So there you have it. Nearly Rs 12,000 crores spent to clean up the Yamuna in the last 18 years. "This petition has been pending before this court since 1994 primarily with one object in mind that the dirty Yamuna should be converted into wholesome and clean Yamuna," the court said, "Statistics show that this object is much far form being achieved."

Arvind Kejriwal ....An honest man in Politics...??

2012-10-15T16:33:00.003+05:30

Sounds rather strange and dramatic in a political system such as india's, being an honest man and to survive and climb the ladder of politicians, might be the only thing in this world which could create a meaningful definition for the word impossible.

Arvind Kejriwal has been a revolution , he has left behind most of this Team Anna colleagues and seems is fighting a lone battle against corruption. He is doing what our opposition parties like BJP , Judiciaries, CBI etc etc are supposed to do. He has bought most of the ruling parties ministers under scrutiny, be it salman khurshid, chidambara, mukherjji or for that matter Manmohan singh. Not to mention the near and dear ones of these politicians like Vadera.

But does his method really hold the substance to remove corruption from this system ? Will this exposing the ministers , do any good to us or our tax payers. Are these ministers really afraid of exposure after scamming lakhs and crores of public fund.

I am afraid, i doubt it. The whole system from top to bottom is filled with corrupt, you expose one, a thousand others are born.

Kejriwal announced his political party a few days back. Heartening to hear, that finally i will have an honest POLITICIAN on the voting machine and won's have to think twice before clicking on his symbol. But will he actually Win, and if he does win, will they let him survive ?

His methods are too flamboyant, they are not what is actually needed. We need someone like him ...not blaming the khurshids or the manmohans, we want him to fight the elections , become a politician, and then clear corruption . We do not want him to become another opposition party playing mindless blame game against everyone. The day is not far when just like " i am going on a fast" was publicized so much by anna and team, that it lost its charm amongst the citizens. Even kejriwal might become another shouting/crying individual whome the govt. and people will start ignoring and say " yeh toh bolta hee rehta hain".

Honest people are not meant for politics, POLITICIAN's are, and then you can be honest.

"I am Going on a fast !!"

2011-06-03T14:31:00.001+05:30

Our Yoga Guru baba Ramdev, today will become a self-appointed leader of the anti-corruption drive. This happens after Anna hazare started this trend about 3 months back for the Lokbal Bill.

This time its the Black money stacked in the Foreign banks that is the issue. A very noble issue, with some of the analysts calculating the money to be equal to 50 yrs of tax collections.

The question here is, why do we need people like Anna or Ramdev. Why do they become our heroes in these movements, How do they become our gandhi in such a short time. Can you imagine a government of a large democracy becoming hostage to someone saying "I am going on a fast'. which by many is considered absurdity, and an absolute travesty of democracy.

Well !! the answer is simple, people have lost trust in the government to deliver on promises, they turn to anyone who captures their imagination. If we had a strong government and the prime minister took responsibility for government actions, this situation would not have come about. This is why Anna Hazare and Baba Ramdev have becoming the darlings of India's restless, politician-baiting middle-class, who are fed up with corruption.

Lets all support them , lets all do whatever can be done to get our government working, Lets all say .....

" I am going on a Fast"

E-Tickets : a humble suggestion to our Railways and Airlines !

2011-01-12T12:36:00.003+05:30

Indian Railways along with airlines had started the trend of e-Tickets almost a decade back. A person is required to show the E-ticket along with his identity proof ,whenever required.

However we find it quite strange that even after advertising so much and creating an awarness among all about the global warming and the need to save paper, the govt. asks us to take the prints of these tickets, when actually a passenger carrying just his identity proof should be enough.

Am sure more then a lakh tickets are booked online daily ,Consider the amount of paper pulp we'll be able to save by doing so.

Saving Global Warming is the need of the hour, and this method really sounds like a lot of saving by a small step.

2 years since 26/11 and still waiting......

2010-11-27T00:29:00.004+05:30

26/11/2008....a day Indians can never forget.......sympathies poured in, promises were made to punish the guilty but what happened.....one of the killer terrorist kasab is still lodged in our prison awaiting judgement...for killing our people....USA punished Saddam, head of an Arab State ,in a mere two years and we do not have the system to punish a TERRORIST, against whom we have a video killing people and more than ten thousand people to testify. Why? What are we waiting for...another IC814 hijack which can free him from our grip....

We are always asking Pakistan, a country where terrorism has reached the roots, to punish those who spread terror. What about those countless terrorists who are lodged in our prisons still awaiting trial or sentence, why are they still alive when they have killed thousands......when will be our law and order be so strong that we’ll be not bombed or killed in a terrorist attack....when will we stop blaming our neighbours or stop asking for their help and be strong for once and take matters into our own hands......!!

Nitish Kumar's Victory :A boon for Bihar and India !!

2010-11-25T15:12:00.001+05:30

Bihari's have had the ugliest reputation in India as far as crime is concerned. They have the distinction of being the poorest state of India with overpopulation, and illetracy. Such were the adjectives used when we talked of bihar and its citizens. This was when Bihar was ruled by similar leaders, who fed on its UN educated population and laundered money in every department.

Things changed after Nitish Kumar's party won in 2005. Bihar has not only shown signs of development, it has actually developed to a far greater extent then what it did in its entire history after independence. The roads have started to exist, the teachers are being hired for its schools, hospitals have started functioning, the bridges are actually being built in reality and people are being paid for there actual work. Apart from all this, the greatest plague of Bihar, the criminals, are being slowly and steadily being cleaned. According to a data, in last five years, 54000 criminals related to politicians have been prosecuted by this regime, and we are sure many more will follow.Because of all this the Police, the government officials have found the strength to work against these criminals, and make Bihar a better place to live in.

With Educated leaders like Nitish Kumar and Modi, Bihar is sure to increase its stature in India. We are sure that these leaders with there clean records, and open minds will work for the upliftment of the people and the state. We might at the end of this term, might even see some big companies lining up to open office in Bihar, we are sure we will see a developed Bihar soon, where the poorest will get there due, and will no longer need to leave there families back for work and money.

And God Created India !!

2010-11-19T14:50:00.000+05:30

God was in the process of creating the universe. And he was explaining his subordinates .........

"Look everything should be in balance. For every 10 deer's there should be a lion.

Look here my fellow angels, here is the country of the united states. I have blessed them with prosperity and money. But at the same time I have given them insecurity and tension....

And here is Africa. I have given them beautiful nature. But at the same time, I have given them
climatic extremes....

And here is south America. I have given them lots of forests. But at the same time, I have given them lesser land so that they would have to cut off the forests... So you see fellows, everything
should be in balance."

One of the angels asked... "God, what is this beautiful country here?" God said "Aha...that is the crown piece of all. INDIA. My most precious creation. It has understanding and friendly people. Sparkling streams, serene mountains. A culture which speaks of the great tradition that they live. Technologically brilliant and with a heart of gold....."

The angel was quite surprised "But God you said everything should be in balance."

God replied "Look at the neighbors I gave them" !!

Death Sentence for Blueline Busses…!!

2010-11-10T20:10:00.000+05:30

The blueline buses, which earned notoriety for reckless driving, will be off the Delhi roads completely from December 14. Already the effect of this decision can be seen on roads with traffic easing out and pedestrians feeling safer. these buses were not only famous for their kills but also were the root cause of slow traffic on major stretches across Delhi …………….as they stop wherever they want to pick up passengers halting traffic, change lanes, breaking the rhythm of traffic,fighting/abusing the passerby’s so often that you feel scared even to drive near them and of course their drivers were blind to people walking on the road.

The Delhi High Court supported the government’s decision to phase out Bluelines in public interest, asserting that the government had the power to do so. When bus operators pleaded about losing their livelihood, the court silenced them by asking how the families of Blueline victims were surviving.
According to government statistics, 182 people lost their lives in accidents involving Bluelines in 2005; 163 in 2006; 108 in 2008; and 115 in 2009.
True the citizens might feel concerned about the transportation problems but the Government seems to have taken care of that also. The Delhi cabinet is ushering in more private buses into the city to fill the Blueline vacuum. It has given its approval for four more bus clusters -- comprising 682 buses -- that will take the number of privately operated buses in the next six months to 914. These will be in lieu of the 2400-odd Blueline buses which are being phased out, with December 14 being the final deadline.

Kudos to our Delhi government….This should have done a long time back but Better late than never….!!

Obama , India, Pakistan : The fascination !!

2010-11-07T12:34:00.002+05:30

Obama is here, and he is here for good. Our country no matter how great it is,has been faltering at one point again and again i.e. Pakistan. Why are we so fascinated by this small country. Why do we try to relate things with Pakistan? Obama is here, and the first headlines we hear is... “Obama Avoids Pakistan “. Obama reaches India and we hear “He doesn’t name Pakistan in terror activates”. We keep arguing with ourselves and the world about Pakistan. The first question asked to Obama after giving a speech on economy and growth and India Us relationships, was “what do you think of Jihad”? Is this right? Aren’t we like Pakistan, who are so obsessed with us, that they have literally

destroyed there country, in Jihad against us.
We should be asking ourselves this question as “our we really this small “? Should we be really so much concerned about a nation that is going down faster than their economy. Should we really bring Pakistan in all US related talks? Aren’t we self sufficient to take care of them, even without US’s help? Why do we need to convince US of terror plots against us?
In last 20 years our country has progressed to become the major economy of the world, where as Pakistan has been nowhere even close to the word “GROWTH” leave aside troubling us in any way. India instead of trying to convince the world ,should take matters in own hands and stop blaming others for its terror hit states like J& K. Doesn’t India have enough army or fire power to seal the borders or protect the citizens from these perpetrators ? Are we really this week ? Well i don’t think so, we are growing from strength to strength with every passing day. We have the technology, we have the resources, just that we don’t want to do it. The effort being put to convince the world about pakistan, if put into protecting the nation, would have given results by now.....

Why You should use Public Transport !!

2010-11-05T18:31:00.003+05:30

We often describe India’s public transport as illmanaged, dirty, irregular and almost all the negative adjectives that can be used for it. Since independece india hasn’t had a reliable , secure and cleaner means of public transportation. In developed world, where they have had metro’s ,trams, buses for last 50 years, we are getting introduced to this concept only now.

Because of this lack of transportation infrastructure we have had the tendency to take travelling into our own hand. Buying private cars,bikes was perhaps the only solution with government not doing much to improve things. And ofcourse with india’s GDP rising and per capita income increasing , private vehicle became a necessacity for every indian. Which in turn led to huge traffic flow on the roads. With need of public transport rising, metros, low floor, high capacity buses, better local trains were introduced in major cities.

Even after the induction of these means, we haven’t realised there benefits. We still conitnue to ply on our own terms.

The use of public transport can actually give you these small benefits :

1. Economical : a mid segment car , if you consider the wear and tear caused to it, can cost more then Rs. 10/Km. In case you only calculate the cost of petrol, when you compare with other means, you are mistaken.

2. Safer : They are definitely safer then you riding a bike or driving a car alone.

3. No hassle of driving : sit in the comfort of a/c with no mental pressure of cutting through the traffic or crossing a green light in time.

4. No traffic challans for you.

5. No parking issues

6. No accidents

7. Saves the environment

8. Less chaos on roads.

In Major world cities like Singapore,London,etc people make minimm use of there vehicles. The general tendency in indian cities like delhi today is not to use metro/bus. it is taking time for everyone to realise the dailly benefits of these means. They still want to travel from source to destination in there own comfort.

Try to use public means as much as possible, it helps boost our economy since petrol import bill is the biggest expenditure for our country. Its a win win situation for everyone, for the environment , for the country ,for you.

Think about it, and do your bit !!

Why India Can never be China !!

2010-10-24T21:46:00.002+05:30

My India.

Since past 2 years I have been hearing how China is on the fast track to becoming a superpower and am always thinking why are we lagging behind... why cant our government do what the chineses are doing....Building superb infrastructure,stringent population control rules,greater standard of living, reduction of poverty , employment and what not...

but a news a few days back openend my eyes that all this is being done at a great cost.

A chinese lady 8 months pregnant was made to forcibly abort her child because it was her second baby...Millions of people are made homeless in the name of developing infrastructure, No freedom of press (speech and expression) , no freedom to sell or buy what is yours...

True my nation does not have super infrastructure or is not on a fast track towards development but I feel FREE
in my country. I am not scared to express what I feel. True we also have a population that is beyond control
but we realize the value of life of a baby to a mother and her happiness even though its her fifth child. I have facebook, orkut or even sata banta and can write or speak whatever I want through blogs or press.

We do not need to compare ourselves with anyone, We should be proud of whatever we have and try to gain from there on.

My country values humanity, freedom and love...the very basic essence of human life...I love my country and am proud to be an Indian.

Letter to Dr. Manmohan Singh !!

2010-10-17T16:36:00.002+05:30

Dear Sir,

Congratulations on the successful completion of common wealth games, We also appreciate your effort to bring to books the culprits who perpetrated a multi crore scam and brought shame to India. But is this enough ?

Every citizen wants to know how this enquiry is different from the numerous ones that we have had in the past (Bhopal gas tragedy, Bofors ,satyam, cash-for-query scam).

We would like to know, didn't these government officials knew that they will get caught considering the massive unproportionate amount involved. They knew, they always knew they will be caught. But they know our system as well, they know which screw to loosen and when and where. Most of them by the time enquiry has finished would have transferred the money to there Swiss banks. They know at most the punishment given to them would be to get suspended or get transferred to a remote location. where they can again start with there scamming ways.

Keeping these officials aside and taking those contractors into account, we are sure the axe is going to fall on them. They will either be blacklisted or fined an amount. Well everybody knows even they will come back with a new face or a new name. (A word of sympathy to these contractors though because every level of government department is to be paid there "CUT" , which in any case would mean escalation in cost for them.)
We are sure after january, few will be made scapegoats and "Many" will run away with the crores.

What i have said above can be written about any scam that happens in India. The same story, the same people, the same end.

In end sir, most of the "LOYAL" citizens of India were praying if they were too a part of this scam. 10-12 crores for a suspension/transfer/blacklist is anytime , we are sure ,acceptable by any citizen of India. We are sure you would agree with us too...

Common Wealth Games Delhi 2010 ....Cheers to Us !!

2010-10-14T22:22:00.003+05:30

Every Indian today must be delighted and proud, seeing the closing ceremony of Common wealth games, Delhi 2010. Something every Indian is going to talk about for a long time to come.

Spectacular performances by the marshals, army,school children , the laser show and even the audience, was something to cheer about. Add to this the voices of India , Shaan, Shankar Mahadevan,Sivmani, Usha Utthap, Ila Arun, Ssukhwinder Singh, Shiamak Dawar, Raghav, Sunidhi Chuhan, Kailash Kher did India proud with their fantastic songs. The astounding display of fireworks was truly a befitting end to such a great show of the common wealth games.

We are sure with the grand success of Common wealth games , Delhi 2010 , the world must have once again taken note of India's emerging power in every event.

We regret the fiasco's that happened earlier in the games, but now that the games have come to a close, we hope that our dear prime minister Mr. Manmohan Singh will do as promised, and bring the culprits to justice. Even the public of India should leave there "chalta hai" attitude and question the government again and again till we get our answers.

In the end though, the games were a super success , we indeed are proud of hosting a successful Common wealth event,we indeed want OLYMPICS, Delhi 2020 !!

Volunteers of India , this common wealth games !!

"Sir, this is paper bazaar", claimed a rickshaw puller to his foreign passengers in the middle of old Delhi's hustle-bustle. They looked quite astonished listening to his near perfect English lines and quietly smiled at the Innocent gesture of the rickshaw puller. Well.... even i did !!

"You can have the seat" said a man in his mid 50's to a mid age English couple who looked a little scared standing in the overcrowded metro. The site of change of there expressions, at being offered a seat , was something that made every Indian proud !!

There were other instances as well when people helped the tourists with directions and even scolding away the beggars troubling the visitors.

Common wealth games, Delhi, in the eyes of the world has been a chaotic event, but in our eyes, it was a wonderful show by our fellow citizens, by our India !!
