1. NEWS AND CURRENT AFFAIRS

1.1 Equality madness – Insurance / men and women are NOT equal

Women drivers are more careful – make less claims – that is no ground for less premiums

European commission ruled that this factor must not be taken into account. As a result women drivers are paying more insurance for driving cars. (See British Newspapers of 27 April 2013)

On an average women also live longer, so insurance companies have to pay them longer retirement pension. But European Commission says that this factor must not be taken into account. So, men will pay more.

 

Not long ago, in Britain, women used to get widow’s pensions on deaths of their husbands. This, supplemented by company pensions of husbands and other income was sufficient for them to live as widows. But some widowers claimed that this was discriminatory and that they too should be treated similarly. Now both the widows and widowers get NOTHING.

 

1.2 Miscarriage of Justice in Britain

Cleared Manning pair win battle for justice (BBC, 4 September 2013)

Shop assistant Miss Manning, of Milton Keynes, had been to a 1970s-themed fancy dress party and Chicago's nightclub with her boy friend Mr. Barri White. There they had a big row. Mr. White went to the home of Mr. Keith Hyatt, where he was staying, while Miss Manning walked off alone to catch a taxi when she became lost in the early hours of 10 December 2000. (It is a mystery why she did not call for a cab from the nightclub?) The teenager was found dead in undergrowth at Woburn Golf Club two days later. She had been strangled and her face disfigured with a steering lock, which was found 500m from her body.

 

In April 2002, Mr White was jailed for life for murder of Miss Manning and Mr Hyatt, was convicted of perverting the course of justice for helping to dispose of Rachel's body., but convictions of both were quashed in November 2007 and a retrial ordered after a campaign by the paper Milton Keynes News and the BBC's Rough Justice programme raised serious questions about the prosecution's evidence. In December 2008: Mr. White was found not guilty at a retrial. Mr. Hyatt did not face a retrial. The question remained – who killed Rachel?

In 2010, lorry driver David Rogers, of Bletchley, helped a teenager who had been attacked to get home and reported the incident to police. Shahidul Ahmed, 41, was later arrested for the assault and convicted. Ahmed's DNA was then linked to the 2000 murder of Rachel Manning, 19, and was jailed for that crime  After the conviction, Miss Manning's family described Mr. Rogers as a "good Samaritan" and added: "Without his actions, the DNA evidence crucial in this conviction would never have come to light."

Mr. Rogers had been driving in Bletchley in the early hours of a spring morning in 2010 when he saw a car pull up alongside a young teenager. "She got into the car and then about a minute later she got out screaming and started to walk away," he said. "The car drove off, then came back and pulled up near her and kept watching her."

Mr. Rogers got out of his car to ask the girl if she was alright and she told him the man in the car had tried to attack her. The girl did not want to report the incident so he walked her home but the car kept following them. "I walked her to her front door and then walked back to my car and he kept following me," he said. "I took the registration number and went to the police."

Shahidul Ahmed, father of five, a restaurant worker was arrested for a sexual assault; his DNA matched that on a car lock used in 19-year-old Rachel's murder. Soon after, Keith and Barri found themselves in the odd position of being key witnesses in a murder case that they had previously been sentenced for. Ahmed got rid of his car eight days after Miss Manning's death. After Ahmed's guilt was determined by the jury, Keith finally received an apology from the police.

 

It is still possible that Keith could still be in jail, had a passerby not come to the aid of

Ahmed’s victim in the sexual assault. "I would certainly like to meet that man and thank him," he said. “Without him I don't think I’d be sitting here now with such a weight off my shoulders.”

Our Comment - So, such miscarriages of justice can take place in Britain in 2013 despite all the modern technology. Why, can’t our Historians admit that they were wrong about Taj Mahal?]

 

1.3 Care for the elderly in Britain

Not long ago, in U.K. elderly patients were cared for in Geriatric wards. But then came Mrs. Thatcher and her crazy privatization. Virginia Bottomly the Health Secretary closed the Geriatric wards one by one and said, “Care in the community.” So, we had Care Homes run by councils and then they were forced to outsource their services to private companies with disastrous results. Not a day goes by without hearing about utter neglect by and callousness of nursing staff. Here is news from Bedfordshire on Sunday dated 11 August 2013. Report is by KATHRYN CAIN / kathryn.cain@lbedsonsunday.com

 

1.3.1Carer found guilty of serious neglect

A CARE home worker has been convicted of neglect for leaving an elderly resident on the floor for an hour after he collapsed. Jackie Ndoro, 38, of Bodmin Road, Luton, was working at The Limes Home in High Street, Henlow, when 86-year-old Albert Riches fell down.

 

Mr. Riches, who has since died, collapsed and called for help on the night of June 22, 2011, but was ignored by another of the home's night shift workers who tapped his leg and then swept around his body. After he had been on the floor of the lounge for an hour Ndoro came into the room and fetched a wheelchair. Luton Crown Court heard the pair pulled him up by his neck and ‘dumped him on a wheelchair'. Mr. Riches, who suffered from dementia and Alzheimer's, was prone to falling after suffering mini strokes and having an operation for a broken leg.

 

Prosecutor Isabel Delamare said the two workers should have used a hoist to lift Mr. Riches into the chair, but it was in another room and they could not be bothered to fetch it. Police are hunting the worker who swept around Mr. Riches after she did not answer bail.

 

Judge Barbara Mensah told Ndoro: "It is a very serious matter. The case of neglect is so

serious I have in mind a custodial sentence."

 

Ms Delamere said that Ndoro and her colleague were under suspicion by the manager of The Limes Home, Kevin Wilkinson, because of concerns he had about their work and that he installed CCTV cameras to keep tabs on them. The recording showed Mr. Riches walking around the lounge before falling on the floor. He was heard to say 'help me’ and groan. The CCTV showed Ndoro sitting down at 1am. She sat in a chair and did some paperwork. Her feet were up and she was sleeping under a blanket between 1am and 5am.  She should have been carrying out two hourly checks on the 23 residents, several of whom had dementia.

 

After he had viewed the secret footage, both women were dismissed by Mr. Wilkinson for

gross misconduct and the police were informed.

 

Ndoro told the jury: "I knew he was vulnerable but I didn't think he had fallen, I made an

assumption that he put himself on the floor- But I did care, that's why I got the wheelchair."

Asked about sleeping, she said:  "I admit I did sleep on the job and that was wrong. I was

supposed to do my checks at 4am and I didn't go, I accept that."   She is due to be sentenced on September 6.

 

1.3.3 Hospital chiefs apologise over abuse of elderly women on ward

By reporter Kiran Randhawa / Evening Standard 21 June 2013

NHS bosses apologized today after elderly women were subjected to a campaign of abuse by three healthcare workers on a geriatric ward.

 

A wheelchair bound pensioner was beaten and five others neglected and mistreated at Whipps Cross Hospital in Leytonstone (London) last year. Akousa Sakyiwaa, 38, Annette Jackson, 33, and Sharmila Gunda, 36, face jail after they were found guilty of beating patient June Evans. The healthcare assistants were exposed by a whistleblower working on the ward.

 

Barts Health, the NHS trust that runs the hospital said, “We apologise unreservedly to the patients and their families for the indefensible failings in their treatment. There can be no place under any circumstances for such behaviour in our trust or in the wider NHS.

 

“On learning of the allegations we immediately notified police, self declared to the Care Quality Commission, and closed the ward. Following an internal investigation all three workers have their contracts of employment terminated.” They were arrested after student nurse Lucy Brown reported them following a placement on the ward last spring.

 

Snaresbrook crown court heard that one victim, Lily Oliver, 92 was admitted on March 27 last year with septic arthritis in her knee. John McNally, prosecuting, said, “She was bedbound and extremely frail, and it is the expert’s opinion that she suffered from dementia and wasn’t able to make her own decisions. Lucy Brown described Sakyiwaa as being extremely rough with Lily Oilver … when Miss Oilver’s bandages were removed she said, “Mind my leg.’ Sakyiwaa grabbed her left knee with both hands and pushed it. … This caused her to scream in pain and turn pale before falling silent.”

 

During the campaign of abuse between February and April last year, Sakyiwaa also prodded the breasts of Joan Mussett, 87, and told her, “I am young and my breasts are better than yours.” When Miss Mussett complained, Sakyiwaa pulled the bedclothes over her head and reportedly said; “See, you are dead one.”

June Evans was the only patient still alive or well enough to come to court to give evidence against Sakyiwaa, of Leytonstone, Jackson, of Hounslow, and Gunda, of Ilford.

 

After yesterday’s verdict, Judge Timothy Lamb QC told them to expect jail and added, “Elderly people have a right to be treated with respect. When they are ill they are entitled to expect, and we must demand, they are properly cared for.” The three were bailed for sentencing on August 23

(Our comment – suppose there was no whistleblower? What a horrible thought)

 

1.4 Britain and Modi’s government of Gujarat

On 23 August 2013 we received an unclear E Mail. But we can make out -

 

It is now clear that British Government and M.Ps of all parties realize that they must engage with Narendra Modi, Chief Minister of Gujarat.

So, the British High Commissioner Sir James David Bevan called upon Modi in August 2013 and yet said , “British Government was still very much concerned about the Human Rights violations during 2002 riots when Modi was the Chief Minister.” He extended an invitation from British M.Ps but said this is NOT an endorsement of your rule.”

 

When did Modi asked for an endorsement from British Government?

 

 

1.5 At last recognition of hardships of wives of our freedom fighters.

In the early years of our freedom struggle, wives of revolutionaries faced extreme hardships. Those who were sentenced to Transportation for Life and sent to Andaman Islands also had all their properties forfeited by British Administrators. Yesu, wife of Babarao, elder brother of Veer Savarkar faced such hardships in 1910.

On 6th July 2013 Loksatta, a Marathi paper of Mumbai published an article on the subject.

What is still not known is how wives and families of those who went underground in the 1942 movement faced similar situation (though their properties were NOT forfeited). Files of Secret Police (now available in British Library, London) reveal that they were looked after by their neighbours. This was a result of tremendous psychological changes that occurred during 1910 and 1942. But that is something that Congress Party does not want to know.

 

1.5 Call for Swadeshi (supporting indigenous products) again.

We have received an interesting E Mail from Milind Godbole (godbolemilind@rediffmail.com). It reads -
In 1970 1$ = Rs. 4
In 2013 1$ = Rs. 60.50
Estimated 1$ by end of the year = Rs. 70
Dollar is not getting stronger but rupee is getting weaker & nobody else is responsible except us!  How can we change it?

Does 1$ become Rs. 70 or it becomes Rs. 50.

1.6 Ramaabai – an explanation.  

It seems that in the days of Tilak there were three women called Ramabai associated with Pune. One was wife of Justice M G Ranade, well respected Moderate leader. Second was Pandita Ramabai. Her brief history is as follows -

Ramabai was born in 1858 at Gangamool near Mangalore. Her father's name was Anantshastri and mother's name was Laxmibai. Both were Sanskrit scholars. Anantshastri left his village and came to Malheranji. He taught Sanskrit to his wife but the neighbours did not like that. So he left that place too and went on pilgrimage when Ramabai was only six months old. During pilgrimage Anantshastri taught Sanskrit to Ramabai. The family left to Madras presidency. There was a severe famine in which Ramabai's father, mother and her elder sister died. Even then Ramabai and her brother continued their travels. In between her brother also died when they were at Calcutta. All the scholars were impressed at Ramabai’s intelligence and the Brahmo Samajist honoured Ramaabai and conferred The Honour Pandita on her. Ramabai then married a Bengali cultured shoodra man Bipin Biharidas Medhavi in 1880. Soon after marriage Ramabai's husband also died and she came to Maharashtra. She then went to England she was impressed by Christianity and accepted Christian religion in 1885. Her Ashrama at Kedgaon became notorious because she openly converted Hindu girls to Christianity. She died in 1922. 

Third Ramaabai   

Famous Sir Parashurambhau College in Pune was founded in the last days of Lokamanya Tilak who had donated a large piece of land when he won Tai Maharaj case (1920). A Hall was built in the college in 1935 and was named Lady Ramabai Hall. She was from Patwardhan family of Maharaja of Jamkhindi and had donated Rs 1,25,000 to the college. The college was named after the Maharaja as Sir Parashurambhau College which was previously known as New Poona College.
We are grateful to Shree Vidyakar Bhide of Pune for the clarification.

In the 1950s when Savarkar came to Pune he asked, “We are no longer ruled by the British. So, why the name Lady Ramabai Hall? It should be called Pandita Ramabai Sabhagruha of Sa Pa Mahavidyalaya.” Some 30 years later when I (Godbole) was in Pune Tarun Bharat a strongly nationalist paper reported an event in Lady Ramabai Hall in S P College! We are still slaves of the British.

On 15 July 2013 Shree Bhide wrote to us, “Lady Ramabai hall is now called as "Devi Ramabai Sabhagruha" but almost all know it and call it as Lady Ramabai Hall". The feeling of slavery has not yet vanished from our blood. What Lord Macaulay had said is true Indians are 'Black English'.

1.7 Role of Indian Revolutionaries – recognized at last

It is rare for British mass media even to discuss role of Revolutionaries in Indian freedom struggle from the British. In 2010 Michael Portillo, once a Cabinet Minister in Mrs Thatcher’s Government, produced a series of programmes for BBC Radio4. It was called Things we forgot to remember. On Monday 29 November 2010 at 20:00 hrs he dealt with the role of Indian Revolutionaries.

BBC summary reads - The struggle for Indian independence is remembered most for the peaceful protests inspired by Mahatma Gandhi. In this week's Things We Forgot To Remember Michael Portillo discovers the seam of violence that ran alongside the peaceful civil disobedience. In particular he looks at the pivotal role played by India House, a villa in North London that became a base for those plotting against British rule in India. He also investigates how in the First World War, Germany tried to destabilize British rule in India...

Portillo visits 65 Cromwell Avenue which has a plaque in memory of Savarkar. He mentions –

Shyamji’s Indian Sociologist

Madanlal Dhingra

Lala Hardyal and Gadr movement in America.

Intrigues by the Germans during World War I

Subhash Chandra Bose and his INA.

 

Finally he says, “Though INA was defeated, during the trails their officers and soldiers public opinion was solidly behind them. Moreover there was a mutiny in the Indian Navy

And Attlee came to the conclusion that it was time the British granted independence to India. So, Bose achieved his dream from beyond his grave.”

Portillo also hints - "One can understand why the British Government does not want to talk about it but why should Indians feel shy?"

Please note that Portillo is NOT born British. He is Spanish. His family fled Spain during the Civil War in the 1930s and sought refuge in Britain. There are obviously some mistakes in the presentation

1.8 Hindusthan (now India) continues to be a Banana Republic

 

1.8.1 Border Action Team (BAC) of Pak Army killed Indian Army soldiers / source ANI – 6 August 2013

 

The Border Action Team (BAC) of the Pakistan Army, comprising of militants and Pakistan Army regulars, organised the ambush and killing of five Indian Army soldiers, sources here said on Tuesday.

According to sources, the five dead soldiers were part of a six-member patrol team, and belonged to the 21 Bihar Regiment. Sources further revealed that after carrying out their attack, 15 to 20 Pakistani soldiers fled back across the Line of Control (LoC) to their defensive positions under cover of heavy gunfire provided by well armed terrorists.

The fire fight is said to have taken place between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. on Monday night Tuesday morning. The Indian Army patrol was a part of a counter-infiltration grid and was dominating the area 350 meters ahead of the Line of Control fence and 450 meters from the Line of Control. The bodies of the dead soldiers have been recovered.

 

[Any sane Indian must demand from the UPA/Sonia about the action taken in the past for beheading of Indian soldiers by Pakistani's and also demand clarification from army chief why Indian soldiers didn't defend themselves from the Pakistani's attack?]

 

6 August : New Delhi

India on Tuesday summoned Pakistani Deputy High Commissioner Mansoor Ahmad Khan and lodged a strong protest over the killing of five Indian soldiers in Poonch in Jammu and Kashmir. Khan was summoned by the government in the afternoon and a protest lodged, informed sources said. (We read this year after year since 1947!)

> And what action was taken by M M Singh’s Government?
On 7 August 2013 it was reported -

Our External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid hosted a sumptuous lunch at Jaipur 5 Star Hotel, receiving the Pak. Minister and being with him until he completed the Biriyani feast!! We feed our enemies with Biriyani when they behead our soldiers and carry away the head as a trophy!!

(This is but natural. We have Gandhi’s picture on every single rupee note)

 

Now also, you will see our PM meeting Nawaz Shariff without any preconditions when at the international meet scheduled for next month!! No 26/11, no beheading of Soldiers and no mention of the present Poonch killings by Pak Army.

 

Are we not having a set of imbecile cowards ruling the Country?

(But we still have among our own kith and kin who praise Degrees and awards of M M Singh to the hilt!)

1.8.2 Treatment of Ramdevbaba

By hook or crook Government of India is trying to crush Ramdevbaba because he has exposed corruption and fraud by Sonia Gandhi.

 

On 14 March 2013 we received the following information - 

(a) Income tax liability

The latest unconfirmed news is that Baba Ram Devji has lost his appeal against the IT Department, declaring of his trust as a business therefore liable to pay tax. The case has been returned to the IT Tribunal who will assess the final amount of the unpaid arrears of tax. A sum of Rs.40 crore is being talked about.

 

(b) Detention at Heathrow Airport 

On 22 September 2013 Swami Ramdevbaba was detained by British Immigration Officer for eight hours as a terror suspect. Some suggested that Government of India had played some mischief. But as usual we would not believe malevolent intentions of Government of India. At 2.40 p.m. Sandhya Jain wrote

Dear Friends,  

 The information that it was suggested to Heathrow immigration that Baba Ramdev was a 'terrorist' is confirmed, but I wish to check the supposed markings in his passport to convey such a message. I have asked to see his passport, when I meet him this afternoon.

On reflection, it seemed to me unusual that anyone in Delhi immigration would actually leave behind physical evidence of such an outrage, which therefore merits verification.

On 23 September at 8:34 a.m. Sandhya Jain wrote   

This is to confirm that Heathrow immigration indicated that there was indeed a notation in Baba Ramdev's passport, visible only to their scanners, which prompted a red alert. Apparently, such alerts signify a drug warlord or terror suspect. This what led to his eight hour detention immediately on arrival and insistence that he report to the authorities the following day at 2 pm, exactly when the Vivekananda 150th anniversary conference was scheduled to commence. A decision had been evidently taken to deport him on a 3.15pm Air India flight back to India.

UK immigration relented following decisive intervention from the Rt. Honourable Keith Vaz, MP, Chair of the Home Office Parliamentary Select Committee, who spoke at length to immigration officials (his wife is a senior immigration expert) and berated them roundly! He also spoke to the Home Secretary and 10 Downing Street. Keith Vaz subsequently accompanied Baba Ramdev to Terminal 5 at Heathrow, having extended an unprecedented invitation to Baba Ramdev to visit him at home to discuss the situation. Mr Vaz also demanded postponement of the immigration interview with Baba Ramdev to 4pm because he knew there was 3.15pm flight on which Baba Ramdev might be expelled from the UK.

 

The immigration office doors, previously firmly shut to Baba Ramdev's supporters, including lawyers, was immediately opened. Vaz unceremoniously demanded the instant return to Baba Ramdev's of his passport as well as all his seized leaflets and personal diary, which happened within 5 minutes. UK immigration also granted a 2-year multiple entry Visa to Baba Ramdev on its own initiative.

Baba Ramdev was to be met by Jesse Jaskson at the airport in the US because of concerns how US immigration would react to the alert in his passport. He left last night after a hugely successful conference at which Shri Venkiah Naidu was also present.     (Our comments – where were the Human Rights Activists in New Delhi? Did the M.Ps of BJP raise this disgraceful behaviour of Government of India, in the parliament?)

1.8.3 Calcutta HC quashes stipends for imams, stands by Constitution            Sandhya Jain of New Delhi had sent us an interesting E Mail on 25 September 2013

  http://www.niticentral.com/2013/09/25/calcutta-hc-quashes-stipends-for-imams-stands-by-constitution-137497.html

The Calcutta High Court’s ruling that the West Bengal Government’s grant of honorariums to imams and muezzins of mosques is unconstitutional deserves closer scrutiny than it has received, as it invokes fundamental Articles of the Constitution, including the principle of secularism, to scuttle the growing tide of appeasement of one community at the expense of all others. This process reached its pinnacle with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s scandalous assertion that Muslims have the first claim on national resources. Given the growing national anxiety over unwarranted pampering of minorities in various spheres of life, it could be instructive to examine the Calcutta High Court’s reasoning.

­1.8.4 Missionary visa to Christians -- Dr. Ashok Singal 

 

New Delhi, November 9, 2012: The Secular Government of India has made an official provision for the spread of Christianity. In its 18 types of visa to outsiders, Indian Ministry of External Affairs has created a special category for Christian Missionaries for their peaceful entry in India and undeterred performance of their holy duty of religious conversions.

The visa for missionaries is termed as “Missionary Visa” which is elaborated as “Visa to foreign missionaries, other than those holding No objection to return to India Endorsements, are granted only after clearance by concerned Ministry/ Dept. in India”.

India Missionaries Visa is issued to those going to India for a religious purpose. It may take up to 3 months to process a Missionary Visa. The Missionary Visa is a single entry visa valid for the duration approved by the Government of India. 

Interestingly Government of India’s officially granting Visa to Christian missionaries goes against the core secular value of Indian Constitution. The Constitution of India terms India as a ‘Sovereign Socialist Secular Democratic Republic’. India’s Missionary Visa is a safe passage for all the elements whose only target is religious conversion in the name of education, social projects etc.

Notably India’s neighbours like China, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal have no such nonsense visa type except Sri Lanka who issues visa for Religious Category for the members of the Clergy. Many African nations also have provisions like Missionary visa.

India possesses an unforgettable bloody past of cruel tactics used for conversion by Jesuit missionaries in various parts of India. Places like Goa and north eastern states have witnessed brutality of Christian missionaries to convert Hindus.
Instead of combating Christian Missionaries from disrupting India's religious harmony, the Government of India officially issues "Missionary Visas" and thereby promotes the wanton destablisation and destruction of India which is evident from several years.

On one hand, Congress led UPA Government is encouraging safe channel for Christian Missionaries and on the other hand it is trying to impose a draconian law on majority of Indians. Indian government working under UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh is eager to pass Prevention of Communal and Targeted Violence (Access to Justice and Reparations) Bill, 2011.

Sonia Gandhi, a staunch catholic is the chairman of National Advisory Council. Under her leadership a committee consisting people like notorious Teesta Setalvad, Harsh Mader, Ram Puniyani, Shabnam Hasmi have drafted the Bill. The draconian and anti social provisions of this new Law will encourage elements like Missionaries and to those who are relentlessly working to divide India on religious grounds. Prime focus of this anti-Hindu and anti-national bill is to protect all religious entities who are trying to lure Indian society and convert them by each way possible.

India’s Missionary Visa policy is another indication of government’s anti Hindu mindset. Provision of Missionary visa encourages conversion by missionaries which are threatening religious rights of scores of Indians.

1.8.5 Record of M M Singh’s government in office

On 23 July 2013 we received an interesting E Mail on the subject 

From: Col R.P.Singh <colrpsingh@gmail.com>
                                                                                                                                              While we were silent
A story of destructive governance and citizens, who did not speak out

First, the UPA came for the roads sector. They destroyed contracting. They slowed down road construction. They left highways half built. We did not speak out. After all, the only reason the NDA could have started the golden quadrilateral is, because they wanted to spread Hindutva. (How strange! Even New Civil Engineer monthly of the Institution of Civil Engineers, London admired construction of this network under AB Vajpayee)

Next, they came for the airline sector. They let Air India suck more money from taxpayers. They let bad regulation destroy the private sector. They let crony banking sustain bad bets. They ensured India would never be an aviation hub. We did not speak out. After all, flying is what birds do, not humans. Besides, aviation is bad for climate change.                                             

Then they came for the power sector. They confused creation of mega capacities with actual generation. They had no rational pricing plans. They were arbitrary in the awarding of licences. They could not make up their mind whether they wanted to protect the environment or destroy it. We did not speak out. After all, the only power that matters is political. Electricity be damned.

Then they came for education. They promulgated the RTE after 100 per cent enrolment. They expanded capacity, but cut-offs still rose. They regulated in such a way that there
was a glut in some subjects and a shortage in others. They confused university buildings with building universities. We did not speak out. After all our, our low quality education
left us incapable of speaking out.

Then they came for industry. They turned the clock back in every way and waged open war. Ensure that regulations become more complex and uncertain. Ensure that input costs
rise. Ensure crummy infrastructure. Promulgate a land scam policy known as SEZ and sell it as industrial policy. They encouraged FDI. But they forgot which one they wanted:
outbound or inbound. But we did not speak out. After all, India is a rural country.

Then they came for employment. There was some growth. But they decided that the only good employment is that which has the hand of the state. So the NREGA's expansion was
seen as a sign of success, not failure. By its own logic, if more people need the NREGA, the economy has failed. But we did not speak out. After all, the more people we have
dependent on government, the more we think it is a good government.

Then they came for agriculture. First, they create artificial shortages through irrigation scams. Then they have a myopic policy for technology adoption. Then they decide India shall remain largely a wheat and rice economy; we will have shortages for everything else. Then they price everything to produce perverse incentives. But we did not speak out. After all, why worry about food production when the government is giving you a legal right? Is there anything more reassuring than social policy designed by and for lawyers?

Then they came for institutions. They always had. This has been Congress DNA for four decades. They drew up a list of institutions that remained unscathed: Parliament, the IB,
bureaucracy and you name it. They then went after those. They used institutions as instruments of their political design. They demoralised every single branch of government.
But we did not speak out. After all, this was reform by stealth. Destroy government from within.

Then they came for inflation. They confused a GDP target of 10 per cent with an inflation target. Inflation will come down next quarter, we were told. Then they tried to buy us
out. Inflation: no problem. Simply get the government to spend even more. Then they pretended inflation is a problem for the rich. Then they simply stopped talking about it. We
did not speak out. After all, for some, inflation is just a number

Then they came for the telecom sector. They got greedy and milked it. They got arbitrary and retrospectively taxed it. But we did not speak out. After all, new communication
can be a threat to government. Besides, we can always revert to fixed lines. More digging is good.

Then they came for financial stability. They produced a large deficit. They brought the current account deficit close to an unsustainable point. They nearly wrecked the banking sector. They created every macro-economic instability you can imagine, which makes investment difficult. But we did not speak out. After all, what would you rather have: macro economic stability or a free lunch?

Then they came for regulation. It was back to the 1970s. More arbitrary regulation is good. More rules are good. Uncertainty makes business more adept. The answer to every
administrative problem is enacting a new law. Multiple regulators are good because they represent the diversity of India. We did not speak out. After all, just like the religious confuse piety with mere ritual, the virtuous confuse regulation with outcomes.

Then they came after freedom. They promulgated more restrictive rules for everything: freedom of expression, right to assembly and protest, foreign scholars. They used sedition laws. They kept the architecture of colonial laws intact. They said they stood against communal forces. But then they let Digvijaya Singh keep the communal pot boiling. They matched BJP's communal politicisation of terrorism at every step and then some. We did not speak out. After all, if they are not Hindutva forces, they cannot be a threat to peace and liberty.

Then they came for virtue itself. They preached, from the very summit of power: avoid responsibility. It will always be someone else's fault. They legitimised being corrupt: you are entitled to it if you are the party of the poor. They encouraged subterfuge to the point that members of the cabinet were subverting each other. They pretended that integrity is a word that does not mean anything. To independent thinkers, they said: why think when there is 10 Janpath? We did not speak out. After all, virtue and thinking can both be outsourced.

Then they came for the poor. They visited their houses and slept in their homes. They liked the experience so much; they decided to become growth sceptics. They enacted
policies that keep India in poverty a little longer. But we did not speak out. After all, once the poor have been used as an argument, all else is immobilized.

Then they came for the citizens. They used the secularism blackmail to reduce our choices. If you are not with us, you are evil they said. Then they infantilised us. You are not capable of exercising choices, so we will make them for you. They acted as if we were so stupid that the three top-most leaders felt no need to justify themselves to us. But we did not speak out. After all we do have the vote.

2. AROUND LONDON TOUR OF PLACES ASSOCIATED WITH INDIAN FREEDOM FIGHTERS

Godble conducted one tour on 21 July 2013 after the initiative was taken by Sau Aditi Oak of Harrow. Nine people participated, two were Kannad speaking. In all 6 were in their early 30s. It was extremely hot but still it all went well.

 

Dr Sapre of Liverpool asked if I (Godbole) would conduct 2 day tour so that ALL the places can be covered. This was done on 24/25 August 2013.

 

On the 24th four persons attended, three Marathi speaking, one Gujarati speaking from Swadhyaya movement in London. It rained all day but we still managed to visit all the places.

 

On the 25th the intention was to visit the places which could not be covered on 24th. The tour was arranged just for Dr Sunil Sapre. Despite Notting Hill Carnival, crowds on Sunday due to school holidays and hot weather Godbole took Dr Sapre to all the places on the list like houses where Madanlal Dhingra and Sardar Patel (Bayswater) / Ravindranath Tagore (Hampstead Heath) once lived, Brixton prison, Bow Street Magistrate’s Court and Police station.

Many gave usual excuses of having previous social engagements (which could not be changed) during Bank Holiday. So be it.

 

On 28th September another tour was organised. To Godbole’s surprise 26 people turned up, including an English student who is doing Ph D in Cambridge University.

 

 

3. BEHAVIOUR OF CHRISTIANS AND MUSLIMS TODAY

3.1 The Christians

For last couple of years we learn more and more about abuse of vulnerable boys and girls by Catholic Priests. Here is news from Bedfordshire on Sunday of 11 August 2013. Reporter is Steve Lowe. editor@lsnmedia.co.uk

 

3.1.1Abuse and poor care suffered by Shefford scruffs

 

INSPECTION reports uncovered by this newspaper into a former Catholic boys' home have shown it was consistently criticised for its poor standards of care. St Francis Boys Home, in Shefford, was closed down in 1974.

 

 Former residents of the home have made persistent claims of being subjected to physical and sexual abuse by some of the priests who ran the orphanage.

 

The Home Office reports had large sections removed but much still remains. They spoke of children absconding regularly, two deaths, and that the home was completely unsuitable for the children under 11 years of age who were placed there. The condition of the toilets was completely unsatisfactory, the buildings were generally shabby and in disrepair and beds and bedding were kept in a poor state, the report said. Food was 'thrown at [the boys]' rather than being served.

 

No proper records or register of attendance were kept either. One report says that those who attended the Bedford Catholic secondary modern of the time, St Gregory's, were known as the 'Shefford scruffs'.

 

Another speaks of the head of the home, Father John Ryan, "having been seen in London' after 'serious concerns and controversy'.

 

Many boys were not allowed to be fostered either permanently or in the summer holidays, because the home deemed 'their faith is in danger'. Instead they were put with 'Aunties and Uncles' for short periods of time. A number of former boys have made allegations of abuse by some of these 'Aunties and Uncles'.

 

The reports also make connections between St Francis and Apethorpe reform school in Northamptonshire, where English Heritage has written of widespread abuse. Two men have already won damages over claims of sexual abuse at St Francis and others are now taking out a ‘class action’ against the Catholic Church.

 

The police are also conducting their third inquiry in 15 years into the allegations. Bedfordshire on Sunday found the Home Office reports into the home still existed at the National Archive but were 'locked' for 75 years, until 2050. (why?)

 

BoS put in a Freedom of Information request and saw the reports this week.

Now that we have been successful in getting this information released, it can be viewed by the public. The file number is BN 62/1453 and contains reports from 1962-1974.

 

Last week we reported that there were more claims that Jimmy Savile (disgraced BBC presenter) had visited the home. Two former boys have said they remember Savile being at the home, while another said he was told that Savile had a ‘twin brother'.

He visited the home often, as there is a Catholic Church attached and Savile was a committed churchgoer. He frequently stayed at Henlow Grange health farm, so much so that a wing at the spa was named after him. Savile has also been accused of sexually assaulting minors while at The Grange and of molesting a former chambermaid of the health farm, who was 18 at the time.

 

St Francis home for boys was opened in 1868, and closed in 1974.

------------

 

Reporter Steve Lowe says – The least the church could do is say sorry.

 

IF the Catholic Church was any secular organization there would be moves to close it down.

For several years now this newspaper, and generally this reporter, has been telling the

horror story of what was once St Francis Boys Home, in Shefford. It was a home mainly for orphans or children whose parents could no longer care for them. These boys suffered both physical and sexual abuse at the home from a number of the priests who ran it. And maybe not just the priests, as others are suspected of taking advantage of the children.

 

There is evidence that Jimmy Savile was a frequent visitor, and maybe others too. Two former boys have won substantial damages from the church and now many other former residents are taking out a class action against St Francis Society and the Northampton Diocese.

 

Despite numerous phone calls we have never received any meaningful statement from the Church and now they don’t even bother to return our calls. And not one of the former boys has had any kind of apology.

 

This week we unearthed the Home Office reports on St Francis Boys Home. And while,

Understandably, it did not mention any abuse; the reports were clear about the unsuitability of the place, especially for younger children.

 

For the Catholic Church, Shefford Boys Home is but the tip of the iceberg

 

This week we read about a similar story in Scotland, concerning Abuse at schools run by Catholics. Nearer home   there   are allegations of abuse at a former borstal in Apethorpe, Northamptonshire.

 

 And the story is the same across the world.

 

Yet all I get, no doubt in reams after   this   article,   is   a combination of abuse and

plaintive cries of why do I keep picking on the church. Because the Catholic Church has been systematically abusing children and young people who were put into their care by an organisation that was supposed to protect them.

Yet generally they show no shame and only annoyance at being found out. The church and the priests can only be grateful there is no God to wreak vengeance on such people.

 

 The least they could do is apologise.

 

[Our comment – we need some one who will compile all such stories of abuse by Catholic priests and Nuns too.]

 

3.1.2 The Gypsies (Travellers)

During last two years (2011 / 13) British TV showed some programmes on lives of Gypsies or Roma people. They baptise their children as Christians, they married in Churches and are buried in Christian graveyards. So, why are they treated as dirt throughout Europe? Where is there no Gypsy-Christian solidarity like the world wide Christian – Dalit solidarity?

3.2 The Muslims

3.2.1 Nairobi - Westgate shopping mall attack

On 21 September 2013, unidentified gunmen attacked the up-market Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya. The attack, which lasted until 24 September, resulted in at least 72 deaths, including 61 civilians, 6 Kenyan soldiers, and 5 attackers. The attackers held hostages and later engaged in gun battles with Kenyan security forces. Over 200 people were reportedly wounded in the mass shooting.

The Islamist group al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for the incident, which it characterised as retribution for the Kenyan military's deployment in Somalia. Many media outlets also suspected the insurgent group's involvement in the attack based on earlier reprisal warnings it had issued in the wake of Operation Linda Nchi from 2011 to 2012.

Background

The incident followed threats from al-Shabaab in late 2011 of attacks in Kenya in retaliation for Linda Nchi, a coordinated military operation in southern Somalia that was launched against the group by the Somali military and Kenyan military.

Shootings and initial siege

On 21 September 2013, at about noon, as few as four masked assailants (initially numbered between 10 and 15) attacked the upscale Westgate shopping mall in the Westlands district of Nairobi. Fighting with armed police continued over 48 hours later. The gunmen reportedly carried assault rifles and wore combat fatigues. There were additional reports of grenade explosions. Police surrounded the area and urged residents to stay away. A report indicated that about 80 people were trapped in the basement, but police said that they had escorted some shoppers to safety and were trying to capture the gunmen. The Secretary-General of the Kenya Red Cross Society, Abbas Gullet, said that rescue workers could not reach some of the patrons in the mall. Inspector General of Police David Kimaiyo wrote that there were "police at the scene and the area is surrounded."

Most of the victims were from Kenya’s business and political elite, as well as expatriates and the diplomatic community.

Perpetrators

Initially, the Ministry of Interior said: "It is a possibility that it is an attack by terrorists, so we are treating the matter very seriously." Nairobi police chief Benson Kibue called the incident a "terrorist" attack and added that there were likely no more than 10 perpetrators involved.[66]

An eyewitness said that the attackers had told Muslims to leave and that non-Muslims would be targeted. Others were asked to name the mother of the Islamic prophet Muhammad to distinguish Muslims from non-Muslims. They also distinguished Muslims from non-Muslims by asking others to recite the shahadah. To Associated Press, the al-Shabab called it "a meticulous vetting process ... to separate the Muslims from the Kuffar". Gunman were seen on CCTV talking on mobile phones and bowing down in Islamic prayer between their attacks.

Most TV stations did not report what the soldiers saw after killing the Islamic militants.

27 Sept 2013  

 

Soldiers and doctors told of the horrific torture meted out by terrorists in the Nairobi mall massacre yesterday with claims hostages were dismembered, had their eyes gouged out and were left hanging from hooks in the ceiling.  Men were said to have been castrated and had fingers removed with pliers before being blinded and hanged. Children were found dead in the food court fridges with knives still embedded in their bodies, it was claimed. 

 

 ‘You find people with hooks hanging from the roof,’ said one Kenyan doctor, who asked not to be named. ‘They removed eyes, ears, and noses. They get your hand and sharpen it like a pencil then they tell you to write your name with the blood. They drive knives inside a child’s body. 'Actually if you look at all the bodies, unless those ones that were escaping, fingers are cut by pliers, the noses are ripped by pliers. Here it was pain.’

 

During the firefight, hostages reportedly had their throats slashed from ear to ear and were thrown screaming from third-floor balconies as the siege came to a bloody end.

[Our comments – No Mullah or Maulavi has condemned such barbaric act. It was later revealed that the terrorists did not come from Somalia but were Kenyan Muslims.

There is logic in the madness. Muslims hate non-Muslims (Kafirs) and will kill them in the most despicable way even today.]

 

3.2.2 Fat al-Qaeda leader gets life for plot to kill 2,000 Brits

On 27 April 2013  Martin Fricker reported for Daily Mirror /martin.fricker®mlrror.co.uk

 

A bloated terrorist taped boasting about how many people he would murder was

Unwarned yesterday he may never be released if he does not give up his "far end of extreme" beliefs. Irfan Naseer, 31, was jailed for life for plotting to kill 2,000 victims in Britain. The 23-stone Liverpool fan and henchmen Irfan Khalid and Ashik Ali, both 28, hoped to rival the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington.

 

Their plan - which had the blessing of al Qaeda - was foiled by MI5 and undercover police who carried out round-the-clock surveillance on the gang.

 

The trio were convicted of plotting terrorism after an 18-week trial at Woolwich Crown Court, South East London. The men, part of an eleven-strong cell from Birmingham, wanted to plant up to eight rucksack nail bombs in crowded stations and shopping centres. Khalid was taped gloating: "This is going to shake them, all the kafir (non-believers) that go to the pub. We'll hit them in their own country."

 

Detectives said the British-born trio were "deadly serious".

 

They lived on benefits and funded their terror activities by raking in £12,000 in bogus Muslim Aid collections in the Sparkhill area of Birmingham. Chemist Naseer bragged that the attacks would be a strike against Westerners who wanted to "have sex like donkeys on the street".  He added: "They wanna club, act like animals and why shouldn't we terrorise them, tell me that? Think about it.  "If someone came in your house and started dancing and basically having orgies and smoking drugs and stuff … you would terrorise them, inniT?”

 

Naseer and Khalid spent 15 months at terrorist training camps in Pakistan and

made martyrdom videos. Other schemes they discussed included smearing poison

on car door handles, attaching blades to vehicles to mow down pedestrians and

attacking synagogues.

 

Police swooped in September 2011 as the gang gathered to build bombs at a house in Birmingham. Naseer, found guilty of five charges of preparing for terrorist acts, got five life sentences. He was told he must serve at least 18 years before being considered for release.

 

Mr. Justice Henriques said:" You are a person whose beliefs are at the far end of

extreme. You plotted mass murder. "You agreed terrorist attacks on such a scale that for the whole world there would be an anniversary that would be remembered. Your release may be many years later, particularly if you continue to pursue your present ideals."

 

Khalid and Ali, found guilty of preparing for terrorist acts, were jailed for 18 years and 15 years.

 

Four jihadists sent by Naseer to Pakistan for training all admitted engaging in conduct in preparation for terrorist acts. Shahid Khan and Ishaaq Hussain, both 21, Khobaib Hussain, 22, and Naweed Ali, 25, were jailed for 40 months. The gang's chief financier, Rahin Ahmed, 27, admitted collecting and managing money for terrorism and assisting others to travel to Pakistan for training in terrorism He was jailed for 12 years.

 

Bahader Ali, 34, was jailed for six years after admitting engaging in conduct in preparation for terrorist acts. Mohammed Rizwan, 29, was sentenced to four years after admitting the same- offence. Mujahid Hussain, 21, was also locked up for four years after pleading guilty to entering into a funding arrangement for the purpose of terrorism.

 

Lib Dem Jerry Evans, who plans to stand as an MP in Birmingham, last night explained why he wrote to the judge to support to convicted Khobaib Hussain. He said the ex-party helper lacked maturity and was carried away by the idea.

(Our comments – It is clear that many Muslims go to Pakistan, get radicalized, get military training and return to Europe. And still western governments have no idea how to track these terrorists and ask Pakistan to shut down the training camps. Western security forces may succeed many times but the terrorists have to be lucky only once to cause havoc)

3.2.3  Terrorist literature

London council worker Khalid Baqa, 48, was jailed for two years at the Old Bailey after admitting spreading (terrorist material. The Hackney revenue officer had more than 300 copies of terror documents - some on his work computer.

 

3.2.4 Death of Lee Rigby

On 22 May 2013, a British Army soldier, Drummer (Private) Lee Rigby of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, was attacked and killed by two men near the Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich, southeast London, in what has been described as an Islamic terrorist attack.

Rigby was off duty and walking along Wellington Street when he was attacked. Two men ran him down with a car, knocking him to the pavement. They attacked Rigby with knives and a cleaver, and attempted to decapitate him. Witnesses said the assailants shouted "Allahu Akbar" during the attack. The men dragged Rigby's body into the road. The men remained at the scene until police arrived. They told passers-by that they had killed a soldier to avenge the killing of Muslims by the British armed forces. Unarmed police arrived at the scene nine minutes after an emergency call was received and set up a cordon. Armed police officers arrived five minutes later. The assailants, armed with a gun and cleaver, charged at the police, who fired shots that wounded them both. They were apprehended and taken to separate hospitals. Both are British of Nigerian descent who were raised as Christians and converted to Islam. They were identified as Michael Adebolajo 28 and Michael Adebowale 22, Both men were known to British security services. Post-mortem examination showed that Rigby died from "multiple incised wounds".

One of the assailants, filmed by a bystander said: "The only reason we have killed this man today is because Muslims are dying daily by British soldiers. And this British soldier is one … By Allah, we swear by the almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you until you leave us alone. So what if we want to live by the Sharia in Muslim lands? Why does that mean you must follow us and chase us and call us extremists and kill us? … when you drop a bomb do you think it hits one person? Or rather your bomb wipes out a whole family? … Through [many passages in the] Koran we must fight them as they fight us … I apologise that women had to witness this today but in our lands women have to see the same. You people will never be safe. Remove your governments, they don’t care about you. You think David Cameron is gonna get caught in the street when we start busting our guns? Do you think politicians are going to die? No, it's going to be the average guy, like you and your children. So get rid of them. Tell them to bring our troops back … leave our lands and you will live in peace."

Suspects 

Michael Adebolajo Adebolajo, born in Lambeth to a Christian family, went to Marshalls Park School and studied sociology at the University of Greenwich. He has a history of involvement in radical Islamist activities and had been arrested at a violent protest and later released. According to Anjem Choudary, a radical Muslim cleric, Adebolajo converted to Islam in 2003 and was linked to the outlawed Islamist group, al-Muhajiroun. In 2006, Adebolajo was arrested outside the Old Bailey during a protest about the trial of Mizanur Rahman.

Michael Adebowale 

Adebowale attended the University of Greenwich. His mother is a probation officer and his father a member of staff at the Nigerian High Commission.

Legal proceedings  

On 28 June 2013, a trial was scheduled to begin on 18 November. On 27 September 2013, the two accused men appeared via video link in court at the Old Bailey, where they both pleaded not guilty. Both asked to be known by their Islamic names. Adebolajo wants to know as Mujaahid Abu Hamza while Adebowale, of Greenwich, south east London, was asked to be called Ismail Ibn Abdullah.

Anti-terrorism task force    

The UK government established a task force to look at ways of stemming the growth of Islamic extremism in Britain, focusing on the radicalisation of worshippers in mosques, university students and prisoners. The task force – chaired by David Cameron – had its inaugural meeting at 10 Downing Street on 3 June, and includes Cabinet Ministers, and representatives from the police and intelligence services. Later that day Cameron made a House of Commons statement on the Woolwich attack, saying that lessons must be learned. "When young men born and bred in this country are radicalised and turned into killers, we have to ask some tough questions about what is happening in our country. It is as if that for some young people there is a conveyor belt to radicalisation that has poisoned their minds with sick and perverted ideas. We need to dismantle this process at every stage – in schools, colleges, universities, on the internet, in our prisons, wherever it is taking place."

Reactions

Many Muslim leaders denounced the attack. The Muslim Council of Britain said the attack "has no basis in Islam and we condemn this unreservedly". The head of the Ramadhan Foundation, Mohammed Shafiq, also condemned the attack.

Anjem Choudary, a Muslim cleric, refused to condemn the attack. He said, "I'm not in the business of condemnation or condoning. I think if anyone needs to be condemned it is the British government and their foreign policy. It's so clear that that is the cause." On BBC's Newsnight, when Choudary was questioned about his role in the radicalisation of Michael Adebolajo, he denied any responsibility, and talked about such radicalisation as a means to an end. He stated that he believed that not many Muslims would disagree with what Adebolajo had said in his videoed statement.

Asghar Bukhari of the UK Muslim Public Affairs Committee said that both the British Government and the Muslim community were at fault in dealing with "extremism". He criticised the British Government for being involved in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan while "completely denying that it has anything to do with the political situation around the Muslim world", 

In foreign press reports there was widespread outrage and condemnation of the killing. Yusif al-Shihab, in Kuwait's Al-Abas, stated that the assailants have "deformed the image of Islam" while Batir Mohammad Wardum in the Jordanian daily Al-Dustur, and other Middle Eastern newspapers, stressed that their actions have endangered the lives of thousands of Muslims.                                                                                                       [Our comments – is it not astonishing that Nigerian Muslims born and brought up in England and having received University education, should feel affinity to Arab Iraqis and Afghans from Afghanistan? Why can’t Hindus develop such bonds between ALL Hindus?             

We also fail on the other front – the fantasy of Islamic Brotherhood of man. Take Kurds for example. After the defeat of Turkey in the First World War, British and French imperialists carved up Ottoman Empire and they put Kurds in Turkey, Iraq, Syria and Iran. Kurds  became minorities everywhere. But what prevented the Muslim countries from allowing Kurds to unite in Kurdistan? Why are they treated like dirt in all the four countries? They have been converted to Islam for more than 1,000 years, but racially they are different from Arabs, Iranians and Turks and also have their own language. They are still suppressed. So much for Islamic brotherhood of man. Unfortunately we do not study such affairs and are unable to counter the Muslim propaganda – We Muslims are one!

4. Historical Research

4.1 Important pieces of information missing from biographies of Savarkar

It is astonishing that in the biographies of Savarkar very little has been written about the transition period 1946 – 52.

 

(i) Public Security Measures Acts

Nehru and Patel secretly decided to agree to partition, but it would have caused huge public outrage.

So, ALL the provinces ruled by Congress Party passed Public Security Acts which threw even the Indian Penal Code in dustbin. Thus by end of March 1947 whole of British India (ruled by Congress) became a Police State. Just 2 months later Nehru and Patel openly accepted partition!

Now people could not gather in groups of more than 5, no public meetings and speeches, no demonstrations, no criticism of Congress Rule and of course no opposition to partition. YES I have seen Bombay Public Security Measures Act 1947 in British Library and was horrified by its provisions AND it was going to be effective for 6 years!!

So, even the elections of 1951 were held under such draconian law. That was Nehru’s democracy.

Dr Paranjape of Nagpur was a well-known Hindu Mahasabha leader. After partition on 15 August 1947 he had been to New Delhi and met large number of Hindu (including Sikh) refugees from Pakistan. He was horrified at their plight. After returning to Nagpur, he was served an order by Magistrate not to deliver any public speeches or organize demonstrations!!

 

Gandhi was killed on 30 January 1948 by Nathuram Godse and suddenly there was explosion of anti-Brahmin and anti-Hindu Mahasabha hatred in Maharashtra as Nathuram was a Brahmin. Strange enough when there was mob rule this law was not implemented. There was no protection to Hindu Mahasabha workers and Brahmins. Some 300 Brahmins were killed, some were burned to death.

In Nagpur anti-Brahmin hooligans attacked Dr Paranjape’s house and wanted to burn it. Luckily there was a non Brahmin patient receiving treatment, so the house was saved, but the mod damaged two cars. The Police were watching and providing protection to hooligans!

 

Dr Munje, a prominent leader of Nagpur died on 30 March 1948 in Nasik, but NO public meeting could be held in Nagpur.

 

(ii) In 1947 when partition was to take place both ASSETS and LIABILITIES should have been divided. We only know about division of assets and the last instalment of 55 crores of rupees to be given to Pakistan. This was being withheld due to Pakistani invasion of Kashmir. Gandhi went to Fast unto Death and forced hands of Government of India.

No one talks about division of Liabilities. It amounted to 1,200 crores of rupees. But Gandhi, Nehru and Patel were so generous that they said - "India (after partition) will accept ALL the liabilities of British India and Pakistan should pay their contribution of 300 crores of rupees at convenience!!" This amounted to 10% of income of India (after partition). Today this would amount to some 9,000 crore rupees. The amount was of course NEVER paid back by Pakistan. Indian budgets even today show 300 crores of Rupees outstanding from Pakistan (this was the figure in 1947 and does not allow for inflation)

 

4.2 Taj Mahal – what next? 

It seems that through internet Godbole’s work is being read all over the world.

 

Lot has been discovered since Godbole’s work began. Some supplements now need to be issued.

Taj Mahal and the Great British Conspiracy – this covers the period between 1784 and 1984. There is a need to cover the period from 1984 to 2013.

For example, Begley and Desai’s book in 1989 / its criticism by Prof Marvin Mills

Prof Mills’s offer of carrying out tests on bricks and mortar of Taj Mahal to determine when it was built and Archeological Survey of India’s refusal.

Taj Museum – published by Archaeological Survey of India in 1982

 

Taj Mahal : Simple Analysis of a Great Deception – There are three balconies attached to each Octagonal room in NE NW SE and SW corner.

Explanation of Shajahan’s firmans for supply of marble stones.

 

Re-examination of some old references – In 1912 Sarkar wrote – Mumtaz died at Burhanpur. Her body was carried to Zainabad across the river Tapi and she was buried in earth!! In that case after 3 months only her bones would remain. When Shahjahan exhumed her body after further 3 months did he dig her bones? What a horrible thought. But our Historians are least disturbed.

 

 

4.3 Rationalism of Veer Savarkar (in Marathi)

As all the copies of the first edition have been sold out it is proposed to bring out a second edition. Godbole has written a preface to the second edition. He stressed how much information on Savarkar and Indian History is available in London, but not studied by our people. It is hoped that the second edition will be published in 2014.                                                                                            

 

4.4 Documentary on Savarkar by Government of India.   

Godbole received an interesting Mail from a Bengali friend.

I just watched this documentary on Veer Savarkar, not knowing a lot
about him previously.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh-Kv3CjX3E                                                                             

Very interesting.

Godbole circulated this to 1,000 persons on his circulation list and was appreciated by many.
