(CHAKRA) The current upheaval in India over the brutal gangrape in Delhi on the night of December 16 Sunday has evoked a spontaneous uprising all over the country that has not been witnessed so far in the history after independence in last sixty five years. Even the top leaders like ministers in UPA II have remarked at such outrage, “He admitted that the developments of the last one week showed a “new phenomenon” of “flash mobs” resorting to protests and that the government was not fully prepared to deal with such situations.”  The Hindu reported Mr P. Chidambaram uttering in a press conference in New Delhi on Wednesday, 26 December 2012.  I only presume that the Indian polity post independence had carried forward the colonial baggage of taking people for granted and astride, which is being rightly questioned and called into action in the garb of these street protests.

Earlier in April 2011, Anna Hazare with a team of activists e.g. Arvind Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi, Manish Sisodia etc and now joined by retired military chief General V K Singh had started a public movement or call it a crusade, in the name of ‘Corruption’ that caught these leaders in their high rising luxurious posh offices and inaccessible priceless palatial bungalows, never did they dream of. These movements were initiated by these few anonymous figures in Delhi once again after the era of Late Jayprakash Narayan in Bihar in mid 1970s during the regime of Indira Gandhi.

Anna movement as it is called widely, was frittered ultimately by deceive and divide technique but it did serve a definite purpose, the purpose of a reawakening call in the vast number of oppressed people in the country without any hope, hope for living, hope for any apostolic deliverance coming like bursting of clouds. Although the so called governing class in India had taken the people for granted, Anna reaction may have been contributory to this spontaneous outrage by the young, the elderly, the male, the female alike without any provocation or instigation. Perhaps the police force also got caught in the same euphoria reminiscent of imperial mentality. No wonder that the entire higher echelons are caught in their frenzy of ‘damn care’ attitude and the Delhi police commissioner Neeraj Kumar did his best to interfere in the genuine investigation and even did not hesitate to humiliate the magistrate who was called in to record the testimony of the victim before being flown out. It is out of conception that such unholy events took place right under the nose of the double capital of governments harnessed in the same place – Delhi, the strongest powerhouse of the nation. There was an unfortunate fatal incident of death of a cop on duty in the middle of this fracas by the peaceful protesters, the police department tried their best to implicate this death to the protesters needlessly; only to further expose their insensitivities and callous manhandling of these young boys and girls physically, by lathicharge, water cannons, teargas shells and thrashings that was inconceivable. All this shabby administration by undue excessive force reflected in the intemperate and ‘who cares’ outdated imperial mentality.  It was highly despicable. The entire media were agog with the manner in which the peaceful protests have been mishandled.

The victim of the inhuman brutal gangrape in Delhi was admitted in government run Safdarjung Hospital on the night of 16 December 2012 in a serious condition. She received emergency medical care in ICU and had three surgeries carried and also sustained cardiac arrest once or twice. Her physical status kept waxing and waning in a serious state. Finally she was transferred on 27 December Thursday in the middle of the cold wintry foggy night in an Air Ambulance to Singapore to bear with the stress of that arduous journey, many including some senior experienced Delhi surgeons like Dr Samiran Nundy contended that her transfer to Singapore was triggered by reasons other than medical.

Did the UPA government, smeared into a multitudes of controversies and governance deficit issues one after the other, got panicked by the unprecedented show of live demonstrations on the street, as were also seen after the treacherous barbaric 26 November attach on Mumbai Taj orchestrated by the rogue Pakistani ISI agents via their infamous nonstate actors as they call them to hide their shabby guilt.

This young 23 year old brilliant dynamic girl belonged to a poor village family who can barely meet their daily ends. The family told, “Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar who visited When their daughter was fighting for her life in a Delhi hospital that they hardly have enough to eat at home. Their meals, they reportedly told her, are often “roti and namak” (bread sprinkled with salt for flavour).”  Yet her cacass of vibrant spirit prompted the 80 year young PM M. M. Singh and his sixtysix year young supposedly cervical cancer afflicted boss Ms Sonia Gandhi aka Antonia Edvige Albina Maino to go to IGI Airport, Delhi in the late night at about 3am to receive her when she was brought back by special Air India flight. One wonders curiously, “How come this anonymous village bud became so VIP in her valiantly fought undignified death”?

Then again, “She was cremated in Delhi against the surrounding mystery in Dwaraka after the plane was received at 4.15 am in the midst of the thick foggy sombre night hours with bare minimum visibility, the plane was taken to its technical area and her funeral planned under the highest secret mysterious circumstances with heavy police and security guard, remain a burning question mark the government has to clarify to the people and the nation”. Initially the ceremony was officially planned at 6 am but delayed for Hindu rites to be carried out after the Sunrise, ultimately at 07.30 am.

Minister of State for Home Affairs R P N Singh, West Delhi MP Mahabal Mishra, Delhi BJP chief Vijender Gupta were present at the cremation. Why was it hushed within a few limited hours under tight security and secrecy remain best known to the Delhi and UPA Governments without a plausible cause? Ajmal Kasab was one with in similar circumstances! It is highly impropriety and further humiliating her sacred and valiant undeserved end.

This entire filthy episode has evoked a worldwide condemnation and condolences with the head of the nation plunging in shame. There were heavily emotionally charged rhetorics with all claiming, “We also have daughters, sisters, wives etc only under duress of the volcanic public anger piercing the hearts of the ruling classes with a trembling fear of unprecedented mass unrest they had witnessed in last few years. Time will tell, if it is sense of democracy forced down the gullet of callous insensitive elected representatives of the people, by the people and also for the people as envisioned by eponymous US late President Abraham Lincoln. Better late than never.

Sonia Gandhi - Leader of the Indian Congress Government

By Sam Yadav

Narendra Modi was cleared of any wrongdoing by the Supreme Court of India of the Godhra 2002 riots. However, the anti-BJP and anti-hindu media constantly blames him. If they blame Modi for the 2002 Godhra riots, then why don’t they constantly remind us of all the riots that took place under Congress Government?

Most of the victims in the below riots were members from the Hindu community, but the media doesn’t feel they need to remind us about these riots and will continue to blame anyone associated with BJP or that has relations with Hinduism.

To be fair, the media should remind us of the ruling governments in these riots and make sure that they do not stop until the Supreme Court of India has cleared them just as they did for Modi.

Muslim youth pelt rocks at Police in Hyderabad during the 2010 Old City Riots

Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh (CHAKRA) – The ’All India Council of United Muslims’ (MIM) post-communal clashes has led the opposition government in Andhra Pradesh to reveal that Hindu youth in the area are being harassed by the Congress-led state government.  The Congress government has appealed to the police of Andhra Pradesh to go from house to house and pick up Hindu youth.

G. Kishan Reddy, MLA and president of the party state unit has demanded a judicial inquiry into the harassment complaints.  He told reporters that hundreds of innocent Hindu youth associated with any type of Hindu group are being taken away from their homes in the middle of the night by police.

Out of 300 people arrested for the communal riots, 200 were Hindu, the oppostion state chief reported.

Politcal leaders stated that the police including City Police Commissioner AK Khan have become  puppets of the ’All India Council of United Muslims’ (MIM) and thus are targeting the Hindus in particular. Reddy further stated that Hindu families have been vacating their houses in Old City out of fear of police harassment and that the Congress government is doing nothing because of its participation in vote bank politics as a result of pressure from the  ’All India Council of United Muslims’ (MIM).  Hyderabad has very diverse demographic as more than 45%  is Muslim and many areas such a Old City are more than 50%.

The party is holding protests against the state police for the harassment of Hindus, on April 17^th.

Politcal party leaders today approached Meena a widow of Taneja who was stone pelted to death in Mustaidipura by a Muslim mob.  Meena, a mother of three children, all under the age of three, pleaded for the state government to help her gain a job so that she can provide for her young children.
