Seven people were arrested in Bhiwani Deswai on Thursday, being suspected to be involved in the lynching of 2 teenage girls on Diwali (that was two weeks ago) Murdered because they met some boys outside the village and the boys might have belonged to an upper caste.For family honour they had to get killed.
The father of one of the girls belongs to the arrest.
After the yesterday publication about the poll fraude by buying votes by promising 1 Kg rice for 0.16 euro for the pover, I was asked were are the poverty limits. For each one in THE WEST it seams to be unreachable, so you will still have to pay 1 euro for low cost rice and up to 3 euro for real Basmati.
In the Indian governement scheme , the poverty line derived from the monthly income varies from state to state and city to city:
Delhi rps 506 (= euro 8 euros per month !!!)
Mumbai: rps 540
Calcutta: rps 410
Chennai: rps 475
For Dahl the small Indian beans similar regulations are in force
In INDIA to win an election the only thing to do is to lower the price of rice for the poorest. This is now in strong contradiction to the essential of democracy, which should be a free election. For those who don't know the currency relation it is 1 euro to 60 rupees. So if the speakers mention a final price of 1 rupee per Kg this means 1.6 eurocentimes. All this because India refuses to make birth- rate restrictions and wants to populate the world by Indians only.
Tech Support: Yes, how can I help you?
Customer: Well, after much consideration, I've decided to install Love. Can you guide me through the process?
Tech Support : Yes. I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?
Customer : Well, I'm not very technical, but I think I'm ready, as long as you walk me through the steps. Tell me now, what do I do first?
Tech Support : The first step is to open your Heart. Have you located your Heart?
Customer : Yes, but there are several other programmes running now. Is it okay to install Love while they are running?
Tech Support : Er... what programmes are running, can you list them for me?
Customer : Let's see, I have Past Hurt, Low Self-esteem, Grudge and Resentment running right now.
Tech Support : No problem, you can go right ahead. Love will gradually erase Past Hurt from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory but it will no longer disrupt other programmes.
Love will eventually override Low Self-esteem with a module of its own called High Self-esteem. However, you have to completely turn off Grudge and Resentment. Those programmes prevent Love from being properly installed.
Tell me, can you turn those off?
Customer : Umm... let me see. Actually, I don't know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how? Please help.
Tech Support : With pleasure. It's really quite simple. Go to your start menu and invoke Forgiveness. Do this as many times as necessary until Grudge and Resentment have been completely erased.
Customer : Okay, done! Wow, Love has started installing itself. Is that normal?
Tech Support : Yes, but remember that you have only the base programme. It's quite basic. You need to begin connecting to other Hearts in order to get the upgrades.
Customer : Oops! I have an error message already. It says, 'Error’ Programme not run on external components.' What should I do now?
Tech Support : Don't worry, relax. It means that the Love programme is set up to run on Internal Hearts, but has not yet been run on your Heart. In non-technical terms, it simply means you have to Love yourself before you can Love others.
Customer : So, what should I do?
Tech Support : Pull down Self-acceptance; then click on the following files: Forgive Self; Realise Your Worth; and Acknowledge Your Limitations.
Customer : Okay, done. That wasn't too difficult.
Tech Support : Now, copy them to the 'My Heart' directory. The system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching faulty programming. Also, you need to delete Verbose Self-criticism from all directories and empty your Recycle Bin to make sure it is completely gone and never comes back.
Customer : Got it. Hey! My heart is filling up with new files. Smile is playing on my monitor and Peace and Contentment are copying themselves all over My Heart. Is this normal?
Tech Support : Sometimes. For others it takes a while, but eventually everything gets it at the proper time. So Love is installed and running. One more thing before we hang up. Love is Freeware. Be sure to pass it and its various modules around to everyone you meet. They will in turn share it with others and return some cool modules back to you.
Customer : Thank you, thank you so much.
I aologize for not respecting the COPYRIGHT of THE SPEAKING TREE out of the TIMES OF INDIA, but I could not resist to publish this article because it is funny on one side and deeply true on the other side. For all those interested in more readings of THE SPEAKING TREE please go to the home page of THE TIMES OF INDIA http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/ or even better just buy the newspaper
This video taken from my balcony shows how construction work is done in India for small houses and villas. Nobody is wearing any gloves, security shoes or helmets. The women even wear sari to climb the ladder with a bag of 20 Kg of cement on the head.
In the mean time other women are preparing dinner under the most primitive and unhygienic conditions.
An easy way to reach the beach is to take a small ferry boat close to NH45A from Pondicherry and if your are lucky you will see a sea eagle (Brahminy Kite) and if you are even more lucky , you will be able to take a picture of it. (well I wasn't so lucky)
Most Indians dislike walking and just go to the seashore and look at the few man, who like swimming. If women go to the water they will keep sari, but it is very rarely that a woman even touches water with the feet. Most young man are there to go together to huts and drink beer all afternoon. After these huts the beach is empty ....beside of coarse the fisherman doing their job
The yougster there are very friendly and quite fluent in English and they love to be take on a picture , even if they will never see their conterfate later.
The prey of the see are very small anchovis lile fish.
The fish are dried and colleted by women and put in big jute sacks, no idea where they may end, maybe in the estomac of a spoiled European cat, after the bones were removed of course.
I dislike to make copy-paste but this article of Kushwant Singh in Hindustan Times explains logically the reflections of upper- class Hindhu and the resentment and background of the culprits responsible for the massacres, still giving the impression that Hinduismus is the right faith giving no reason to convert.
Recent incidents of violence and vandalism against Christians and their churches deserve to be condemned unreservedly. They have blackened the fair face of Mother India and ruined the reputation of Hindus being the most religiously tolerant people in the world. At the same time, we must take a closer look at people who convert from one faith to another.
To start with, let it be understood that these days there are no forced conversions anywhere in the world. India is no exception. Those who assert that the poor, innocent and ignorant of India are being forced to accept Christianity are blatant liars. A few, very few educated and well-to-do men and women convert to another faith when they do not find solace in the faith of their ancestors. Examples are to be found in America and Europe of men and women of substance turning from Judaism and Christianity to Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam and Sikhism.
There are also men and women who convert to the faith of those they wish to marry. We have plenty of cases of Hindu, Muslim, Christian and Sikh inter-marriages. However, the largest number of converts come from communities discriminated against. The outstanding example was that of Dalit leader Bhimrao Ambedkar who led his Mahar community to embrace Buddhism because they were discriminated against by upper caste Hindus. This is also true of over 90 per cent of Indian Muslims whose ancestors being lower caste embraced Islam which gave them equal status. That gives lie to the often-repeated slander that Islam made converts by the sword.
An equally large number of people converted out of gratitude. They were neglected, ignorant and poor. When strangers came to look after them, opened schools and hospitals for them, taught them, healed them and helped them to stand on their own feet to hold their heads high, they felt grateful towards their benefactors. Most of them were Christian missionaries who worked in remote villages and brought hope to the lives of people who were deprived of hope.
To this day, Christian missionaries run the best schools, colleges and hospitals in our country. They are inexpensive and free of corruption. They get converts because of the sense of gratitude they generate. Can this be called forcible conversion? Why don’t the great champions of Hinduism look within their hearts and find out why so many are disenchanted by their pretensions of piety? Let them first set their own houses in order, purge the caste system out of Hindu society and welcome with open arms all those who wish to join them.
No one will then convert from Hinduism to another religion.
I apologize to Hindustan times and Kushant Singh for violating their coyrights without permission
