Chandrasekareswara Temple-Pudhu Gummidipoondi - 16 July 06

The day started of with a roaring Chandra Travels van, which took us to the spot at around 8 AM. Courtesy the archaka, the temple was kept open. What a start! Undaunted by the work, the enthusiastic bunch of volunteers, totaling 18 members, mostly the 'Samarpanam' volunteers, who are all software engineers, tried to test their hands with 'hardware' that day! Yes, by the word hardware, I mean sickles, crowbars, axes etc.! Cutting and chopping the compound of approx 10.000 square feet was almost cleaned within a span of 5 hours!! Half the work done, when we were wondering how the whole periphery would be covered before noon, there appeared a guy called 'Murugan' claiming to be a worker in a nearby factory and a friend of the Village President himself! He voluntarily took a sickle, started cutting off with gusto and his speed was such that the rear left half of the temple premises was cleaned by him single handedly!

He also helped members climb atop the roof of the temple and cut off deep rooted trees which were piercing into the limestone roof. Seeing him, our energy soared to greater height and the premises was cleaned as scheduled. Senior member V Sekar came with his friends and added luster to the idols available in the outside mandapam. Adding luster? Ya, yes, he applied til oil on all the vigrahas! He also tried to sort out all the flowering plants apart from the thorny weeds and bushes. He helped volunteers identify such plants add raise earthern bund around each plant.

As a dosha parihara for cutting trees, members were asked to water those flowering plants. The dry leaves and bushes were set fire and removed off. But after the pooja, our wait turned to agony- for a darshan of the deities. The pundit in charge of the temple was busy in handling the jostling village crowd, who have come from far off villages like Ponneri, for what? Do you think it is for the temple darshan? No, it is for soothsaying and dosha parihara, horoscope seeking etc. The pundit hardly entered the temple, even for a glimpse of the cleaning work going on!
When we forced him to spare a 10 minute break, he was in his best of moods scolding the officials, one of our volunteer and also the system, for keeping him like this, more like a beggar; he claimed his salary is due from 1990 and also the village EO hardly gives any money for the temple. HE also claimed that precious statues, around 38 in numbers are inside the sanctum sanctorum but most Sthri idols were devoid of a piece of cloth. There was a theft attempt also, we believe. So, the pundit hardly opens the main door! The 'forced' pooja was conducted to the beautiful Valli Devasena Sametha Subramaniya Swamy and to the Ambal at the outer mandap. Member PN Subramaniam, almost donated most of the tools cost, which has now become the property of our trust. The balance was shared by the members. Member V Sekar brought all pooja items and Vastrams for the deities. The next follow up would be with the E.O.of the said temple, along with the Village President. Author and President of the trust Dr.T.Satyamurthy had promised that he will chalk out a plan to face the officials and spell out the plan for permanent opening of this temple in near future.

DEVALUING HINDU INSTITUTIONS - A CHRISTIST CONSPIRACY

DEVALUING HINDU INSTITUTIONS - A CHRISTIST CONSPIRACY BadriBackground:Successive Popes have given their clarion call totarget Hindu India. Hindusare reduced to mere harvest fields.Our Vedas are usurped. Our Sastras aremis-interpreted. Re-writtenselectively, to mislead the uninitiated to themythical Jesus. Jesus isequated to our Vedic core. False parallels are drawnwhere no such parallelsexist. Our religious and cultural dance forms like theBharathanatyam issullied, removing Bharatha and Nataraja; the heart andsoul of the Natyam;replacing Them with the cross born as the greatestsinner of all, themythical messiah of immaculate conception. Our mostrevered Gods andGodesses are seen through the eyes of the Jesus as theJesuit like FrancisXavier Clooney would want us. Mariamman, Sri, Ambalare re-writen asmanifestations of Mary. The "Avatars" of Mary. EachHindu word of reverenceto our Gods is appropriated. Churches suddenly become"Devalayams" or"Prarthana Mandirams". "Bible" becomes "VedaPustakam". "Girivalam" thepractice of "Parikrama" around our sacred hills isduplicated with hundredsof neo-converts circumnavigating newly built"Velankanni" shrines atopillegally occupied hilly forests.They even carry"Kavadi" like MurugaBhaktas, except that they carry these to the Yesu ofMark's dreams andimagination. In Vijayawada, there is even a "Marymatha Aalayam" atopGunadala hill competing with our "Ma Kanaka Durga" forthe devout to offertheir "mundan". Christist Schools have started"VidyArambam ", except thatthere is no Saraswathi but Mary or a Velankanni tooffer pujas in thepursuit of Vidya. They even duplicate our Mandir Carfestival with a versionof their own - Velankanni or Jesus atop a car drawn bythe neo-converthallelujas in places like Tiruchendur and Nagercoil.These are highlythought out plans of sensitising the falliable Hindusto christism with agradient plan of de-hinduisation.Today, the evangelists have a never-before freedom toproselytise.For, they have the blessings of the most powerfulAntonia 'Mary' Maino.And a turbaned-Napunsak government that is eager tobear her cross, with thefull length turban for blinkers.Our Hindu Institutions, our belief systems, ourunshaken faith in ourAcharyas and our Bhagawans and our inseparable twins,Hindu religion andBharatiya culture, have always remained a thorn in theflesh of theseconspirators against our Dharma. Generations ofevangelists have been tryinghard to rattle our belief systems. Carefully plantingseeds of suspicion inthe gullible mind. The conversions through means ofallurement, deceit, fearof damnation thrown in good measure into the minds ofthe innocent, force,marriage, inducements, bogus miracle claims,education, hospitals,orphanages and the so-called services, employment;have all managed to swelltheir numbers. The church's conversion factories havestarted reportingbetter OPE with the advent of Antonia Mary Maino asthe power centre and theDE-facto CEO of India Inc. And with her being the mostpowerful person inthe country, daring attacks on the Hindu institutionshave begun. If theIslamists attack our institutions with the bombs thechristists do itthrough their well crafted cunningness. The target ofboth these aggressivemarauders is the innocent and weaponless Hindu, whocontinues to say "AhimsaParamo Dharmaha", forgetting the latter half of theBhagawan's statement -"Satya Himsa Tataivaca" . Thechristist-communist-Goebbelsian media willalways be ever willing to do their bidding in theirHindu-bashing.I have ventured to examine at some length, how theseanti-national forces,who masquerade as evangelists, are brazenly involvedin devaluing some ofour most revered Institutions and our lack ofunderstanding and equallyinept or no response to such acts.I am taking just these three Hindu Institutions toadvance my argument:1. The Tirumala Mandir2. Kanchi Acharya, an institution in Himself, hisArrest and the cripplingof his Matham and the sexual innuendos3. The Sabarimala Ayyappan Mandir and the sexualinnuendosBefore I actually go into the subject matter, I shouldintroduce you to twolively characters who have played larger than liferoles. One who started asa professional actor in her life and continues to acta role of a politicianand the other, her astrologer. The typical Rajah andthe Rajah guru of a BGrade Tamil movie of yesteryear.PARAPPANANGADI UNNIKRISHNA PANICKER - THE COMMONFACTORWhile the christists are behind each of these fourconspiracies on the HInduDharma, I see this Unni character featuring in all thethree onslaughts onthe Hindu Dharma. I sometimes wonder if this is morethan a coincidence andleave the choice to the reader if he has been used asa pawn by thechristists or have they won him over to do theirbidding. I think I have toask him to conduct a "Deva Prasnam" on this questionto find the realanswers, if he can get one. I dared to bring his nameout because to me hispresence in all the above "controversies" is more thanjust a "coincidence".And I am compelled to go public with his name becausehe did go public withhis "findings" instead of taking them up "in camera"with the concernedinstitutions, as a true Hindu, who is interested inpreserving our HinduDharmic institutions. I now have serious doubts on hisintentions and eventhe results of his "experiments in truth" that havebecome tools in thehands of atheists, commies who today occupy ourDevasthanams and DevaswomBoards.Parappanangadi Unnikrishna Panicker is "considered" anexpert in 'DevaPrasnam' and operates from a village namedParappanangadi in Kerala. Let meexplain for the benefit of those uninitiated, that'Deva Prasnam' is aclassic form of asking the Bhagawan questions andgetting the right set ofanswers and this form has origin in Kerala, with most'experts' coming outfrom this land of Parasurama. This often involves agroup of "experts" in ateam, each one contributing his "knowledge" withsomeone like Unni as themoderator giving the final summation of "divineresults" from such a divineinquiry called the Deva Prasnam. Being popular, heeven has the 'veto' powerto negate certain claims made by other members of histeam.Panicker struck gold when he was brought to thelarger-than-life presence ofJayalalithaa. He became powerful and famous overnightwith Jayalalithaaseeking his opinion on various issues, both personaland political. His famesored up to such dizzy heights that he was the mostsought after man for allthose who wanted to have Jayaa's ear. It is widelytalked about that hecharges upward Rs.200,000 per prasnam these days. Andit was passionatelydebated as to who was close to Jaya, Sasi? or Unni?UNNI'S FIRST ROLE IN TIRUMALA TIRUPATI - GOVINDA,GOVINDAA few years back he conducted a Deva Prasnam inTirumala. And this lead todays of showdown between two respected and reveredReligious leaders of ourDharma, the Kanchi Acharya and the Tridandi ChinnaJeeyar Swami. The Bhaktaspicked up from where the Swamis left and a millionheated words on websitesand the Press and TV sound bytes, gladdened the heartsof the commies,atheists and seculars while the christists stoodapplauding the Shaiva-Vaishnava struggle for supremacy. The Hindus stooddivided, as always. Thematter was worsened with each commie/christist backedTV channel stoking theambers. Until I and a great friend stepped in to tryand diffuse thetensions that was threatening to divide the Hindusociety on the lines ofShivites and Vaishnavites. I am not getting into themechanics of ourefforts, as I have neither the permission of both theAcharyas nor is thematerial required for this piece of inquiry. However,we have been blessedby both the Acharyas through the abrupt stoppage ofthe war or words fromboth the sides of Bhaktas with the removal ofattrition, from the very nextday of our effort in this issue. The Press too lostinterest in the issue.That the Prasnam and the "results" announced publiclyhas been the keyfactor for this undesirable attrition, is no secret toa careful follower ofcurrent affairs. That this lead to Tirumala being thetarget for atheists,commies, seculars and christists alike is no secret.And none can discountthe role of Bhagawan Balaji in retaining even hispoorest Bhaktha in thefold of Hindu Dharma. Therefore, it is no wonder thatHis institution hasbeen on the draft board of the christists for manyyears now.JAYALALITHAAIt is said that there was a stage in her life when shewould not even sneezewithout consulting Unnikrishna Panicker. And I have anunimpeachable sourcethat confirmed to me that her close aide, Sasikalavisited Panicker one weekbefore the actual arrest of Kanchi Acharya to make a"divine inquiry" if Hisarrest would bring her government down and if therewould be anyrepurcussions from the Hindu Samaj. Panicker gave thegreen signal and theshe carried out the brutal assault on one of our mostrevered institutions,the Kanchi Acharyas and the Kanchi Matham. I am underan oath not todisclose this source and you will have to take my wordfor it or feel freeto take this as my figment of imagination.SACRED HEARTED AMMA - A CHRISTIST PRESENTATIONJayalalithaa is a product of the well known SacredHeart Matriculationschool, Chennai, conducted by the famous PresentationSisters of Church Park. Bro. Berchmans asks thequestion: Had Jayalalithaabecome a nun, would that have brought any positivechangein her life? Good question, ain't it? Try searchingfor an answer in thefollowing link:http://www.patricianbrothers.com/patwebsite/newsletterhome/indiannewsletter/indianews0604/indiannews0604.html#slogan<http://www.patricianbrothers.com/patwebsite/newsletterhome/indiannewsletter/indianews0604/indiannews0604.html%C2%A0>http://www.patricianbrothers.com/patwebsite/newsletterhome/indiannewsletter/indianews0604/indiannews0604.htmlLet us see how in my opinion the christistsmanipulated Jayalalithaa and shesuccumbed to their guile.The early and open wooing of Jayalalitha started withnaming a street in USAafter her.Monument for Jayalalithaa proposed in Wisconsin.Chicago Street Named after Jayalalithaby Nand Kapoor, Chicaho Bureau Chief--------------------------------------------------------------Chicago, April 29 - On April 27 '96,The Dr. J. Jayalalitha Way on Devon Avenue fromBroadway to Lakewood Avenuewas unveiled & dedicated with an Inter-Faith Prayerand an impressivecommunity rally. Dr. J.Jayalalitha Way is located at amajor intersection inthe Northside of the City of Chicago where majorroads, Broadway Avenue,Devon Avenue and North Sheridan meet. The Dr. J.Jayalalitha Way is thefirst portion of the long winding West Devon Avenuewhich bears Honorarystreet designations for Mahatma Gandhi, Mohammed AliJinnah and Golda Mier(Ex Israeli Prime Minister), at different segments ofthe Avenue.For details just click:http://groups.msn.com/Newsandcurrentaffairs/general.msnw?actionfiltered=get_mess\age<http://groups.msn.com/Newsandcurrentaffairs/general.msnw?actionfiltered=get_mes\sage&mview=0&ID_Message=28335&LastModified=4675504423072200478>&mview=0&ID_Message=28335&LastModified=4675504423072200478THE THANGA THARAGAI - GOLDEN STAR AWARDOne is now familiar of her being given the "mostprestigious" award - theThanga Tharagai or the Golden Star Award. Millions ofposters were pastedall over Tamil Nadu hailing her as "Golden Star" Ammaor "Thanga Tharagai"Idaya Deivam etc.,What is the origin of this Thanga Tharagai award andwho are the personsbehind it? And why should they suddenly cosy up toJayalalithaa? Just keepin mind that this was the time the TN ForcibleConversion Act was in placeand there was no talk of repealment by the government.To get a logical answer to this, one must honestlylook into thePresidential elections in Ukraine. What has theelection of President ofUkraine to do with the Golden Star Award toJayalalithaa? I can sense youquestioning me about this. Patience, my friend,Patience.The Bush Administration in USA wants a pliablepresident in the Ukraine.They consider it important to their affairs and whatdo they do? They locatea pliable candidate, Viktor Yushchinko . And decide toprop him up. So howdo they go about funding his elections to thePresidency of Ukraine? Simple,they choose Poland as the medium. Why Poland? Theformer Pope is fromPoland, stupid. This "initiative" is called as thePoland-America-UkraineCooperation Initiative (PAUCI), which is administeredby the US basedFreedom House and funded by US Agency forInternational Development (USAID).Millions of dollars was granted by USAID to PAUCI inPoland. And PAUCI sentthese funds to numerous Non-Governmental Organisations(NGOs) in Ukraine andneedless to say that these NGOs acted on the behest ofUS government to gettheir candidate elected as the President.Take a look at this:On 7 December 2004, U.S. Congressman Ron E. Paul madethis statementbefore the House of Representatives InternationalRelations Committee.Howdid this one-sided US funding in Ukraine come about?While I am afraid wemay have seen only the tip of the iceberg, one partthat we do know thus faris that the US government, through the US Agency forInternationalDevelopment (USAID), granted millions of dollars tothePoland-America-Ukraine Cooperation Initiative (PAUCI),which is administeredby the US-based Freedom House.PAUCI then sent US Government funds to numerousUkrainian non-governmentalorganizations (NGOs). This would be bad enough andwould in itselfconstitute meddling in the internal affairs of asovereign nation. But, whatis worse is that many of these grantee organizationsin Ukraine areblatantly in favor of presidential candidate ViktorYushchenko.Consider the Ukrainian NGO International Centre forPolicy Studies. It is anorganization funded by the US Government throughPAUCI, but on its websiteyou will find that the front page in the Englishsection features aprominent orange ribbon, the symbol of Yushchenko'spartyand movement. Reading further on, we discover thatthis NGO was founded byGeorge Soros's Open Society Institute. And further onwe can see that ViktorYushchenko himself sits on the advisory board!And this NGO is not the only one the US governmentfunds that is openlysupportive of Viktor Yushchenko. The Western UkraineRegional TrainingCenter, as another example, features a prominent USAIDlogo on one side ofits website's front page and an orange ribbon of thecandidate Yushchenko'sparty and movement on the other. By their proximity,the message toUkrainian readers is clear: the US government supportsYushchenko.The Center for Political and Law Reforms, anotherUkrainian NGO funded bythe US government, features a link at the top of itswebsite's front page toViktor Yushchenko's personal website. Yushchenko'spicture is at the top ofthis US government funded website.That May, the Virginia-based Private ManagementConsultancy DevelopmentAssociates, Inc., was awarded $100 million by the USgovernment forstrengthening national legislatures and otherdeliberative bodies worldwide.According to the organization's website, severalmillion dollars from thiswent to Ukraine in advance of the elections .As I have said, this may only be the tip of theiceberg. There may be manymore such organizations involved in this twisted tale.There has been a blackout in the American media abouthis statement.Instead, they have been focussing mostly on an allegedpoisoning of thepro-Western candidate. If there is any side that willbenefit most from thepoisoning, it is the United States. It is probabletheypoisoned their own candidate. The Cold War may beofficially over. But aslong as Russia remains a challenge to American power,the bleeding withoutfighting will continue.http://vsubhash.blogspot.com/What is relevant to us is that1. USA wanted Viktor Yushchenko elected as Presidentof Ukraine.2. The US Goverment floated PAUCI3. Sent millions of dollars to it from USAID4. PAUCI floated hundreds of NGOs in Ukraine to whichthese millions weredistributed for "election duty".5. Coordinating the efforts was IHRDC (InternationalHuman Rights DefenceCommittee) is one such NGO based in USA with NatalyaKrivutsa a Naturalisedcitizen of USA, with a Ukraine background.Now to the vital question:Who conferred the "Golden Star" or the "ThangaTharagai" Award onJayalalitha?It is IHRDC (International Human Rights DefenceCommittee) headed by Natalyal Krivutsa.It is claimed that this was a body under the UnitedNations (check thebanners behind the photographs of the Awards functionin Chennai). But thefact is that UN has nothing to do with thisOrganisation (Just check the UNwebsite to find any relationshiip with this body -zilch) BishopMallawarappu Prakash, who is also associated with thisNGO, as heading theiroffice in India and with the Awarding of the GoldenStar to Jayalalithadefended this saying that the website of theorganisation shows that it is aUN organisation (can there be more silly argument thanthis?). It is like Ican have my blogspot read, S V Badri, President ofChennai and won't itsound silly !!!Now take a look at the Award function photos in theAIADMK website:On 10 Oct. 2004, Ukraine delegates in city to honourJayaUkraine delegates representing the International HumanRights DefenceCommittee (IHRDC) which has selected Chief Minister JJayalalithaa for the Golden Star of Honour and DignityAward, have arrivedin Chennai. The IHRDC will present the award to theChiefMinister for her stellar role in gender equality andprotection of weakersections of society.See photos athttp://www.aiadmkindia.org/111004%20human%20rightsaward.htmNow on to some simple questions that very badly needto be answered:1. Who is Bishop Mallavarapu Prakash? Why was thisBishop MallavarapuPrakash of Vijayawada made head of the minoritieswelfare board in TamilNadu? Why not a muslim from Tamil Nadu?Bishop Mallavarapu Prakash was on the dais as Indiarepresentative of IHRDCof Ukraine when the Golden Star (Thanga Tarakai) Awardwas presented inOctober 2004 and was made the State's chairman of theMinorities Board,though he belongs to the neighbouring State, the Stateof Andhra Pradesh.2. The timing of the Thanga Tarakai award is afterwithdrawing theAnti-conversion Act. Is there a connection betweenthis withdrawal and theaward? Some kind of a thanks-giving and an incentivefor more action?3.The award celebration was certainly paralleled by(a) The tax payers' money spent by Tamil NaduGovernment on the 4 page WallStreet Journal advertisement eulogising theachievements of AIADMKgovernment -- the interview was conducted by Ms.Carlose Andrade of Times ofIndia; and(b) US State Dept. (Office of International ReligiousFreedom of the USState Department's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rightsand Labor) is backingsuch conversion initiatives. The last paragraph ofthis year's report ofUSCIRF states that US embassy officials had beeninteracting regularly withTN Govt. state officials on the anti-conversion lawand its reversal. (May2004).4. There is an intricate web of a christist Prabhakaroffering Bharat JyotiAward from India International Friendship Society ofUSA, Bishop M. Prakash,IHRDC Ukraine, Natalya Krivutsa of USA, K.A. Paulcoming in his private jetmeeting CM and handing over unlisted materialspost-Tsunami. The events takeplace in a suspicious order or sequence.5. The take over of the Veera S'aiva (Lingayata)Matham in Kumbakonam on 16Jan. 2005 and the crippling of the Kanchi Matham fromDeepavali Day(November 2004).All these lead one to wonder "is there any connectionbetween the awards,the christists who were behind the awards andJayalalithaa's attacks onthese Hindu institutions"?The advertisement in Wall Street Journal hailingJayalalithaa should havecost a fortune for the TN Govt. See the ad (interviewby CarolAndrade) athttp://www.tn.gov.in/pressclippings/wallstreet/wsj-lr72-1.pdfhttp://www.tn.gov.in/pressclippings/wallstreet/wsj-lr72-p2.pdfhttp://www.tn.gov.in/pressclippings/wallstreet/wsj-lr72-p3.pdfhttp://www.tn.gov.in/pressclippings/wallstreet/wsj-lr72-p4.pdfThis jibes with the move to withdraw theanti-conversion bill through anordinance after she got a drubbing in the TN Lok Sabhapolls.The interviewer whose interview becomes a TN Govt. adis Ms. Carol Andrade.She is Times of India Supplements Editor and claims tobe a journalist for27 years.http://www.thaneweb.com/interviews/97interview_carol_thaneplus.htmShe is also editor (for Economic Times) of StrategicMarketing (togetherwith a guy from IIM, Calcuta).http://www.etstrategicmarketing.com/smNov-Dec1/lets.htmBishop Rt Rev Dr M Prakash noted that the downtroddenwere given allprivileges in the state and said, ``as many as 10,000independent churchesin the state would spread the peace message ofJayalalithaa to the entireworld. And downtrodden are given all the privileges inthe state.''ANOTHER AWARD FROM A CHRISTIST:By way of adding yet another feather in her cap, TamilNadu Chief Ministerwill be awarded International Best Statesperson Awardin February 2005 byInternational Friendship Society in the USA.Announcing this, Dr Vijay Prabhakar, president, WorldFederation of TamilYouth, USA, said, ``this award will be conferred forbeing atrue statesperson.''http://www.tn.gov.in/pressclippings/newindpress/newindpress12102004.htmhttp://www.tn.gov.in/pressclippings/newindpress/newindpress09102004.htmNote<http://www.tn.gov.in/pressclippings/newindpress/newindpress09102004.htmNote+>that this is on a Government site.VAIKO'S CRITICISM OF THE "THANGA THARAKAI" AWARD:At that point of time, see what Vaiko, her currentchristist "brother" said:Referring to the honour of `Golden Star of Honour andDignity Award'bestowed on the Chief Minister, Jayalalithaa, by theUkraine-basedInternational Human Rights Defence Committee, he saidthe award meant`nothing' since the organisation was not recognised bythe United Nations.The award episode was `funny' given the backdrop ofincreasing violence andcrime against women in Tamil Nadu, he said.http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/thscrip/print.pl?file=2004101813620400.htm<http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/thscrip/print.pl?file=2004101813620400.htm&date=2004/10/18/&prd=th&> &date=2004/10/18/&prd=th&THE CHRISTIST TEAM THAT APPARENTLY WORKED ONJAYALALITHAA:So we have a Natalya Kirutsva, a Bishop MallavarapuPrakash, Dr K.A.Paul,who came in his Private Jet offering Rs4,000 croresrelief to Tsunami andoffering to adopt 400 children orphaned by Tsunami, DrVijay Prabhakar ofWorld Federation of Tamil Youth USA, a Carlos Andrade,Uncle Sam and hisConsul in Chennai plus a few church leaders thrown infor pepper. GreatTeam.See photo of Natalya athttp://www.committee.org.ua/dok35.html (Text inRussian)See Bishop Prakash Mallavarapu of Vijayawada on thecatholic hierarchy. Asdirector fo the India Chapter of IHRDC based inUkraine(funded by Uncle Sam), he is clearly the conduit forgetting the award forJayalalithaa.http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/bishop/bmalp.htmlBishop Mallavarapu Prakash is also a member of thedoctrine commission.Dr K A Paul, chairman, Global Peace Initiative inWashington and TamilnaduMinorities Welfare Board's chairman Bishop Dr MPrakash met the ChiefMinister and handed over the relief materials for theTsunami affected withBoxer Hollifield adding the punch to the team.That Jayalalithaa was flattered from this "award" wasevident from thenumber of posters her party men put up through out theState. In addition,look at what she has to say about the award:Make Tamil Nadu a premier state: CMSunday, October 17, 2004PTICHENNAI: AIADMK supremo and Tamil Nadu Chief MinisterJayalalithaa onSaturday asked her partymen to work for making thestate 'number one' in thecountry.The Golden Star of Honour and Dignity Award conferredon her recentlyby theUkraine based International Human Rights DefenceCommittee was a proof tothis, she said.On receiving the International award instituted byInternational HumanRights Defence Committee (IHRDC) from Natalya lKrivutsa, Head ofIHRDC, USA, for her efforts to eliminate genderinequality and protection ofthe weaker section of the society, Jayalalithaa said,``A society that cannot protect the dignity and honourof its women cannotbe termed as a civil society.''Now pause for a moment and think:1. A rather circuitous route from US Government isestablished throughPoland, Ukraine and a web of NGOs andchristist-activists, evangelists and they start wooingJayalalithaa. It endswith the US government getting the Anti-conversion Actrepealed byJayalalithaa.2. A street in USA is named after her and she gets adubious award from anequally dubious NGO with christists at the helm ofaffairs.3. She makes a Bishop from neighbouring State of AP asthe Chairman of theMinority Welfare Board in Tamil Nadu and he happens tobe the Indiarepresentative of the dubious NGO that gives her the"Golden Star" Award.4. The US Consul in Chennai has specially postedofficials dealing with heradministration to repeal the Anti-conversion Act5. Her Deva Prasnam Expert and astrologer says no harmwill befall her ifshe arrests the Kanchi AcharyaAnd on the Diwali night, which is so holy to allHindus, she decides to ruinthe festival of lights for millions of Hindus, byordering arrest of one ofthe most sacred Institutions of the Hindus, The KanchiAcharya Himself.UNNI AND CHRISTIST HAND IN SABARIMALAUnni makes a Prasnam as usual. This time his target isSabarimala. TheMandir and its Deity which attracts millions of poorand backward devotees,the target audience of proselytisers. He knows thatthe Bhagawan Ayyappa iscelibate. So conveniently, he states that the Prasnamrevealed a presence ofwomen who has defiled Ayyappa and He is angry. Withinhours, even before thecomplete details of the "divine revelation" isrevealed to the world, oneJayamala, whose husband is a christist and who may bea crypto-christist,goes to public with the claim that she is the"blessed" one who had"touched" the Vigraha of Ayyappa and this was when shewas jostled andpushed by an unmanageable crowd.Only the secularists, atheists, communists, TVchannels waiting for suchsensational Hindu-bashing news would believe that thiscould be possible.I dare to call Jayamala a liar. And all those who tookher word as their"Das Kapital" as co-conspirators, because:1. She could never have visited Sabarimala Mandirwithout bengstopped/noticed.2. Even if a lakh of people had pushed her, she wouldstill not have managedto roll over the Kanikkavanchi, the Hundi in the firstenclosure, made herway rolling up the five very narrow steps leading tothe inner sanctum,passed through the narrow Dwaram (gate) where even alean priest has to bowdown and carefully make his way into the sanctum, rollin between two rowsof a some half a dozen two feet lamps placed in frontand on either sideof the Ayyappa Vigraha and THEN TOUCHED HIS VIGRAHA.Who is she conning?As usual, to slacken the faith of the devotee, theangle of immorality isthrown in. We saw it in Kanchi. We are seeing it inSabari. Throw some mud.Something will stick, seems to be the way thechristists have never grownout of..I see no reason why the Devaswom should have givencredibility toUnnikrishna Panicker and to the claims of Jayalama,unless they wereinstructed to keep the issue alive and 'contribute'their might to stokingfires. They should have just pooh-poohed his claim,denounced Jayamala'slies and went on with their work. They did not do itbecause the Sabarimalais situated in a strange state that cohabits withcommies,congress,christists and the Madhanis. The governmentconstituted Dewaswom Board mightwell be loaded with atheists, commies and'congi-seculars' whose bhakthi islimited to their one ishta-devatha - Antonia 'mary'Maino. That Unni choseto say that Ayyappa has been touched by a woman is adevious ploy, designedto cause hurt to the very devout and try to put offthose sitting on thefence with their "Irumudi" ready, for the nextseason..KANCHI ACHARYA, TIRUMALA, AYYAPPAThe choice of Mandirs and Hindu Institutions cleverlypicked by thechristists for their target is not surprising. KanchiAcharya has been inthe fore-front in opening the doors of the Matham toALL Hindus, includingthe deprived, dalits and the very backward. The Mathamhas been involved inrenovation of various Dalit Mandirs and I know thatthe Acharya has neverever refused to visit a Mandir in any Dalit colony. Infact He has sent Histeam of priests on behalf of the Matham to many suchMandirs forconsecration ceremonies. I am a witness to it as I hadthe privilege ofvisiting such Mandirs along with him and His naturalbenevolence to thedeprived people becomes evident even to a non-bhaktaof this wonderfulMatham.When more such backwards were gravitating towards Himthe christists saw aserious threat to their designs of the evangelical -proselytisation.TIRUMALA has always been a magnetic force thatattracted both the veryaffluent and the very poor. And Bhagawan Balaji is thegreatest symbol as aHindu institution. Therefore, the likes of AntoniaMaino and SamuelRajasekhar have teamed up with evangelists to devaluethis institution inthe eyes of the Hindu pilgrim devotees. And the recentspate of conversionsin this holy town, the plan to shrink its extent to 2hills and the backdooroffer of entry to church constructions in the forestarea of the hill thathas appropriated by the government since the days ofthe British Raj,appointment of other than Hindus to head the TTDinstitutions, retainingnon-Hindus in sensitive TTD posts, diverting TTD moneyfor government's'secular' projects, deputing officials who are eitheraethists, communistsor secularists for TTD posts from the government,having a card-holdingcommie as the head of the TTD Staff Training collegeetc., all standtestimony to the devaluing of this great Hinduinstitution.SABARIMALA- Majority (almost 80%) of the pilgrims arefrom very weak anddeprived section of Hindu society. The evangelicalproselytisers aredeprived of their chunk of the target audience becauseAyyappa is attractingmore of them each year, year after year. So targetingthe tantri or making ahue and cry of a women's presence in the Sanctum is away tried by thechristists to shake the faith and belief system ofthese simple HinduBhaktas. The press and electronic media goes to townas it does on everyHindu-bashing exercise. Most of these people do noteven know the geographyof the territory or have a first hand experience of aspiritual journey toSabarimala.A pilgrimage to Sabarimala is a very uniqueexperience. I have made 27 suchpilgrimages in my life. The 'Vrata Anushtanam" of thebhakta and theinvolvement of the entire family including thewomenfolk in enabling thebhakta to stick to his Vrata and the Nithya Pujas, thebringing together ofthe Ayyappa Bhaktas for Bhajans and Annadanam, unlikein other piligrimages,the lack of distinction in caste in the group ofAyyappa devotees are allmajor factors in bringing Hindus into a congregation.This is one spiritualjourney where the distinction in caste is lost indevotion to the deity.The Press and the Sound Byeting channels never care toexamine andinvestigate if it impossible for a Jayamala or a JyotiLaxmi to have touchedthe Vigraha, unless ofcourse, they would now try toshift their stand bysaying that the maligned Tantri indeed allowed herinto the sanctum andtouch the Bhagawan because she promised to pay him inkind !!!Who knows, they might even say this tomorrow.Because, the media today is a Hindu-bashing bastard.And hopefully, verysoon will start searching for the truth.The truth of its parentage.Namaste,S V Badri

 An Open Letter to Hon'ble Members of Parliament, New Delhi

Hon'ble Members of Parliament

Subject:  For India's Sake - Please standup and reject the Indo-US
Nuclear Deal which threatens country's sovereignty and security. The
Deal in its present form opens the way for the rebirth of the
notorious "East India Company".

The one sided "Indo-US Nuclear Deal", with the 'breadth of
facilities', including top research institutions, that India has
agreed to surrender for the so-called international safeguards, and
her commitment to abandon nuclear tests altogether, has not only
dashed the hope of the nation for not being treated equitably and
fairly, but also exposed the intentions of the safeguard enforcers to
dominate India's defense, foreign policy and economic spheres while
recognizing and enhancing the domineering role of the "Nuclear
Cartel". Without your purposeful and prompt action India may risk
losing not only her nuclear, but also political and economic
sovereignty. In view of the utmost urgency of the matter hereby we
resubmit our representation requesting your urgent action.

Summary: It is generally believed that because of the US exploitation
of NPT and her obsession of world supremacy, it is difficult to have
an agreement with Washington that will allow India a fair deal on the
basis of equality.  Only the "divya astra" (divine weapons) with
devastating deterrence capability could be India's peace keeper
against her two unfriendly nuclear and hostile neighbors. But with the
bait of nuclear energy, the Indian government has been persuaded to
surrender the most important aspects of country's sovereignty and
security. It may also be noted that unlike the agreement with New
Delhi, the Sino-US nuclear deal is free of conditions or strings.
"Furthermore, it is deeply disturbing that without any regard to the
nation's integrity and national interest the Govt. has tacitly
accepted  the classification of India as a Non-Nuclear Weapons State
(NNWS) at the precise moment when the (NPT) that discriminated against
India is collapsing."

"No- Nuclear- deal" with the US would be better than the one that is
strategically crippling or the one that renders it subservient. The
permanent goals of national freedom and prosperity demand that India
keep all its nuclear options open, just like the other nuclear powers
do. It would be suicidal to accept a virtual moratorium envisaged by
the Indo-US Nuclear Deal on country's otherwise unrestricted future
nuclear research; nuclear defense capabilities and its civilian
nuclear energy independence. The loss of the reliable defense muscle
and its impenetrability would have the potential of pushing India back
in to a state of subservience and external domination. The staggering
costs of separating the civilian and defense nuclear facilities and
the impracticality of finding high caliber personnel for duplicate
institutions would render the entire nuclear program dysfunctional and
economically prohibitive.

The enforcers of the NPT safeguards regime consist of two former
colonial systems, one a communist dictatorship and the other an
imperial Super Power � both competing to dominate the world and its
resources. Under the provisions of the proposed deal the US can add or
withdraw facilities at will without affording the same right to India.
India's legal commitments pertaining to this deal are unilateral and
unrelated to assured fuel supply.  This empowers the US to leave India
in the lurch if it at any point were to have a nuclear test or violate
IAEA safeguards. After this deal, India may be the only country in the
world that is disallowed indigenous re-processing although she is
currently at the fore-front of such technology.

We strongly believe that the Indian Parliament exercising its supreme
authority must reopen the issue, have an open discussion and even
amend the Constitution if necessary for the approval, disapproval or
modification of the deal, preferably before the US Congress
deliberates upon it. Further, there is a need to assign substantial
resources for building conventional coal powered electric stations
using practices followed worldwide, and as far as possible with clean
air technology that could be developed or bought . This will be a
Swadeshi (indigenous) and an economically affordable solution with no
risk of radiation damage and without strings by foreign entities,
enabling power needs to be met while the indigenous Thorium based
reactors are in place or the "Nuclear Club" offers equitable terms to
India.

The Condensed Version of Representation

Hon'ble National Leaders and Parliamentarians,

The current Indo -US nuclear deal is shocking because it would
seriously compromise India's independence and foreign and defense
policies.

"Divya Astra" (divine weapon), the guarantor of India's permanent
peace, independence and prosperity, acquired by "tapasya", laboriously
and under severe sanctions must not be sacrificed. India has two
ruthless, inimical and unpredictable dictatorships as neighbors; one
gobbled up Tibet and now encourages Maoists and Naxalites in India to
disrupt peace and democracy; and the other provides a base and
training to Jihadists who have killed over 60,000 in J&K and
continuously attack Hindus and their temples and Parliament deep
inside the country with an aim to disintegrate and Islamize India. To
effectively neutralize them and their keepers India needs a credible
deterrence.

Hence, it will be in the long term interest of India to respectfully
disagree and disengage from this unequal deal. A powerful and bold
declaration of "devastating deterrence" is warranted (like the US had
for the former USSR) instead of a defeatist and geriatric statement of
"minimum credible deterrence". Having suffered for centuries at the
hands of colonizers, tyrannical invaders and unfriendly nuclear
neighbors, India has every right to build an impenetrable national
defense in order to maintain her hard earned independence.

It is time that the Indian Parliament, in its capacity as the supreme
sovereign, steps up to the plate, and prevent undermining of India's
Security and Sovereignty by any desperate branch of the government.

Ms. Condoleezza Rice, the US Secy of State has made it amply clear on
April 5, that India's legal commitments are unilateral, unrelated to
assured fuel supply, and per se "without condition."  This leaves the
US absolutely free to leave India in the lurch if it at any point were
to have a nuclear test or violate IAEA safeguards. Her remarks confirm
India's backdoor accession to the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty
hitherto unacceptable to New Delhi. There are some eight conditions
under which the US could unilaterally terminate the deal.

According to Joseph R. Biden, the ranking Democrat on the US Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, the deal's qualitative and quantitative
ceilings succeed in "limiting the size and sophistication of India's
nuclear-weapons program".  Isn't it a shame that Indians learn more
about the inner details of the deal through the US sources than
through the illusive transparency of their own government?

Here are some salient points to seriously consider:

A) People are shocked and horrified at the 'breadth of facilities'
that India has surrendered to the so-called international safeguards
as it included 'fundamental physics and other research institutions'.
Research institutions, like the Bhaba Institute of Fundamental
Research, should be permanent national institutions and to surrender
them permanently to a safeguards regime without the ability to
withdraw is highly infuriating. Once the research institutions are put
under a permanent inspections regime, one does not know exactly what
the status of that research would be (attachment A).

What the US-inspired technology controls against India could not
achieve over the past three decades, the PM, in order to chase some
wild dreams and illusions, has done it with a stroke of his pen and in
the process crippled the country's nuclear independence. Sacrificing
this independence for whatever reason is the direct and cruel
violation of Nehru's vision: "India had missed out on the gunpowder
revolution leading eventually to its enslavement but the country would
not miss out on the nuclear revolution"

B) Opening up some 37 facilities for int'l inspections, including many
top scientific institutions could irreparably harm future research.

It would be suicidal to accept a virtual moratorium on nuclear
research envisaged by the Indo-US deal  The loss of the dependable
defense muscle would have the potential of pushing India back in to a
state of subservience and external domination.

C) While the deal allows the US to add or withdraw facilities at will,
India on the other hand is bound by the conditions stated in the
Indo-US deal without being allowed to bring about or suggest any
changes. Once it puts research institutions under a permanent
inspections umbrella, one does not know exactly what the status of
that research would be.  Such unequal and discriminatory provisions
confirm the imbalanced nature of the Indo-US partnership in this
endeavor.

D)  In the future if there are 10, 20 or 30 reactors that are
dependent upon the imported goods and materials for being functional,
the whole Indian industrial and the electricity sectors could be
jeopardized by the possible sanctions that may be slapped on India due
to any real or imaginary disagreements, leading to total disruption of
the nation's economy. Today, it may seem acceptable as there are only
two reactors dependent on import of fuel.

E) The available evidence and supportive materials clearly establish
the fact that the fundamental US goal in this deal is to deter the
rise of India as a full-fledged nuclear state that may threaten U.S.
global or regional interests. Under the US pressure India has
gradually expanded the number of facilities to be placed under the
safeguards regime from the initial "one or two", to 37 (attachment B).
With nuclear energy just the bait, the deal has allowed to sharply
restrict and cap India's nuclear weapons program, its fundamental
research and consequently its potential rise as an economic power.

F) From basic research to weapons-grade plutonium production
capability, India's nascent nuclear deterrent is being delivered a
body blow. Added to that is the unseemly rush to complete the proposed
actions on most of the 37 facilities within the next four years. The
PM's new, expanded list of Indian facilities � tabled in Parliament on
May 11 � shows how in the name of gaining a pretentious right to
import uneconomical power reactors, 37 establishments across the gamut
of India's nuclear capability are being put under permanent
international inspections or being dismembered.

G) No nation has ever done what India has set out to do. No FBR or
military programme will be possible after the deal becomes operative.
India will not be allowed even to build its own centrifuges.  NPT
signatories China and Libya, ex-NPT countries like North Korea, Iran
and Brazil, states such as Iran, Syria, Pakistan, Egypt, Yemen and
perhaps even Saudi Arabia continue to re-process and enrich to
increase traditional weaponry under the nose of the US and the NSG.
After this deal, India may be the only country barred from indigenous
re-processing although currently she is at the fore-front of such
technology. (M.D. Nalapat, Organiser, June 11, 2006).

H) "No Nuclear deal" with the US is better than a strategically
crippling one. It is only natural that the Parliament should review
and over- ride the present deal and ask Washington for recognizing
India as a bona fide nuclear state with sovereign freedom over its
nuclear domain before any deal is formalized.  In the absence of such
a review India may be mortgaging her economic and political freedom,
in a hasty deal pushed by business lobbies and politicians with a
narrow vision. While considering such important issues the primary
priority must always be the national sovereignty and security.

I) Public deserves to know why the conventional coal powered electric
stations that many countries use cannot be built or bought with clean
air technology. This will be a Swadeshi (indigenous) solution with no
strings by foreign entities and will enable India to fulfill her power
needs from the indigenous Thorium based reactors.

The emergence of an OPEC like Uranium and Nuclear Suppliers Group in
the form of a Cartel must not be ruled out. Such an entity could
manipulate both in pricing as well as imposing other unacceptable
conditions upon India in the future. The clear indicators to that
effect are already observable.

J) The staggering costs of mandated separation of civilian and defense
nuclear facilities :  estimated at $40 billion for separation and
another $60 billion for establishing the proposed civilian nuclear
sector (attachment C), along with the impracticality of finding high
caliber personnel for both will shut down the entire nuclear program.
Additionally, the opening up of top research institutions to foreign
inspections, meddling and potential espionage would dampen advanced
research. This leads to a suspicion that the real intent of the "deal"
is to strangulate India's technological and industrial emergence. Even
in the US, Los Alamos and other strategic labs conduct research on
both civilian and military projects. Then why should India be barred
to follow that standard?

The Government must come clean and explain to the nation as to why
these staggering additional financial  costs (unrelated to power
generation - in addition to the loss of sovereignty and security)
cannot make the conventional coal based electric power generation a
very attractive and feasible alternative. In this case India will also
be free from the strings of all of the foreign entities.

The guarantee of national freedom and prosperity requires that India
keep all its nuclear options open, just like the other nuclear powers
do. This issue must be judged against India's national needs, goals
for its future, including the national security and military
invincibility, and not just for minimal deterrence or meeting
fractional electric power needs.

K)  "Divya Astra" (divine weapon) acquired by "tapasya", laboriously
and under severe sanctions must not be sacrificed: Only 8% of India's
power needs, that too after two decades, are likely to be harnessed
from the Indo-US nuclear deal.  This small fraction of energy could
easily be generated with conventional and domestic nuclear power.

A virtual moratorium envisaged by the US generated deal on country's
otherwise unrestricted future nuclear research; nuclear defense
capabilities and its civilian nuclear energy independence would be
suicidal because, the loss of the dependable defense muscle would have
the potential of pushing India back in to a state of dependence,
subservience and external domination.

L) Hon'ble National Leaders and Parliamentarians, the Indian
Parliament being the supreme sovereign body must intervene and reopen
the issue, have an open discussion and amend the Constitution if
necessary for its approval or disapproval and avoid India being led
into a political blackmail and economic subservience for ever. There
is a nagging suspicion that through this hurriedly formulated deal
India is being led by the descendants of the East India Company into
yet another era of subservience and slavery. Therefore, the Hon'ble
guardians of India's national interest must do everything in their
power, including launching public awareness campaigns, to persuade the
Govt. for rejecting the intense foreign pressure in defense of India's
national interests. In any case the partners in this deal must have
equal rights and obligations as an unequal partnership could be a
source of great trouble and lingering friction between the two sides
in the future.

Thank you for your time and consideration. We shall look forward to
your response.

Sincerely,

Dr. Jagan Kaul

Nuclear deal will make India vulnerable: Expert

Aziz Haniffa in Washington DC | May 24, 2006 01:20 IST

rediff.com

http://ia.rediff.com/news/2006/may/24ndeal.htm?q=tp&file=.htm

Institute for Energy and Environmental Research president and leading
technical expert on nuclear programs Dr Arjun Makhijani has said that
he was aghast at the 'breadth of facilities' that India had put on the
table for safeguards as it included 'fundamental physics and other
research institutions.'

Discussing with rediff.com the full text of India's nuclear separation
plan that was tabled in Parliament last week, Makhijani said, "I
really did not expect that institutions like the Tata Institute of
Fundamental Research and other physics institutions will be put under
permanent safeguards."

"This is very different from putting reactors under safeguards or even
a reprocessing plant, because the reactor comes to the end of its life
and then it is done. So permanent safeguards is only up to the end of
its life," he explained.

"But research institutions truly should be a national permanent
institution and to place that under permanent safeguards without the
ability to withdraw it, is to subject the research institutions to
political pressures in ways that may not be advisable," Makhijani said.

"The second point that is related to this is that if you look at the
US agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency, it is very
different," he noted, adding, "The US can add or withdraw facilities
at will, and so, because the Indo-US deal does not allow India to do
that, once it puts research institutions under a permanent inspections
umbrella, one does not know exactly what the status of that research
would be."

"Also, who could use the research, what all material India would have
to make available freely to international institutions, what might
happen to ideas that originate in India and their status, and who
could take advantage of them," he queried.

"I am not for nuclear weapons, but I think that countries should be
dealing with the IAEA on an equal basis. I mean this is not an
agreement that will allow India to be on an equal basis with the other
nuclear weapons states," Makhijani said.

"I am still not in favor of this (Indo-US) agreement, essentially
because it will make India vulnerable," he said, noting that the text
of the separation plan tabled in Parliament validated the argument
that he had been making against the deal.

"If there is any IAEA judgment that India has not complied fully with,
then India would be subject to a lot of political pressures for cut
off of nuclear fuel supplies. In such a scenario, since India has
almost no uranium resources and is expanding its nuclear power, this
would make India very vulnerable to US political pressure. The whole
foreign policy of the country would be subject to essentially what
happens in Washington, much more than it is today, and I do not think
that is a desirable thing," Makhijani said.

He said in such a situation, it could come to the kind of political
and diplomatic pressure that is currently being applied on Iran led by
the US, which wants the international community to coalesce with it in
isolating Tehran.

"It could come to that because the US and India are both democracies
and their primary constituencies have to be internal, and so if a day
comes when India does not agree with the United States on some big
issue, as for instance, where it gets its natural gas supplies or how
it gets its natural gas supplies, then there could be serious
repercussions," he said.

Makhijani said: "Today, it is alright because there are only two
reactors involved in import of fuel. But in the future if there are
10,20 or 30 reactors, the whole Indian industrial sector and the
electricity sector could be jeopardized because of disagreements."

"So this is confirmation somewhat of the unequal partnership that
India is entering into with the United States," he said.

India Capped

Stagecraft & Statecraft / Brahma Chellaney

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has claimed from the outset that his
vaunted nuclear deal with the US is about nuclear energy and not about
India's strategic programme. Yet his own actions epitomize the
intentional manner the deal has been allowed to ossify into a cap on
India's nuclear military programme, with nuclear energy just the bait.
With Dr. Singh's deferential commitment "to work with the US for the
conclusion of a multilateral Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty," the
Americans have now introduced a draft FMCT whose principal target is
India.

The PM's new, expanded list of Indian facilities � tabled in
Parliament on May 11 � shows how in the name of gaining a meretricious
right to import uneconomical power reactors, 37 establishments across
the gamut of India's nuclear capability are being put under permanent
international inspections or, in the case of two, being dismembered.
From basic research to weapons-grade plutonium production capability,
India's nascent nuclear deterrent is being delivered a body blow.
Added to that is the unseemly rush to complete the proposed actions on
most of the 37 facilities within the next four years.

No nation has ever done what India has set out to do. While the five
established nuclear-weapons states together have only 11 installations
under voluntary, revocable International Atomic Energy Agency
"safeguards" at present, India singly is subjecting almost
three-and-a-half times that number of facilities to perpetual,
immutable inspections without even the escape hatch available to a
non-nuclear nation in a state of national contingency � the right of
withdrawal from a commitment. As Condoleezza Rice made clear on April
5, India's legal commitments are unilateral, unrelated to assured fuel
supply, and per se "without condition," with the US reserving the
right to leave India in the lurch if it at any point were to test or
violate IAEA safeguards. Her remarks confirm India's backdoor
accession to the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty through the pending
congressional legislation.

Also, India has gradually expanded the number of facilities it is
sacrificing � from the "one or two" that the Vajpayee government
offered to Dr. Singh's furtive, incremental increases now totalling
37. To deflect attention from the gravity of what Dr. Singh was
preparing to do, the government earlier this year actually
orchestrated a public charade on the fast-breeder programme to take
credit for "saving" the tiny experimental breeder and the
under-construction prototype breeder (which together, according to US
National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley, have "very limited capability").

The deal's qualitative and quantitative ceilings succeed in "limiting
the size and sophistication of India's nuclear-weapons programme,"
according to Joseph R. Biden, the ranking Democrat on the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee. The deal has been designed to underpin a
fundamental US goal � to deter the rise of India as a full-fledged
nuclear power that could threaten U.S. global or regional interests.
Not only will the deal widen India's nuclear asymmetry with China, its
US goal jibes well with Pakistan's strategic objectives.

It was M.J. Akbar who had the foresight to explain on these pages why
Pakistan was lucky to escape President George W. Bush's nuclear
embrace. Mr. Akbar stated what nuclear boffins had missed out � that
while a dreamy India had enmeshed itself in a web of onerous,
US-fashioned obligations, Islamabad could be "held down to nothing."
The more the deal has unfolded, the clearer India's disadvantage has
become. And the bigger the US demands have grown.

Indeed, Pakistan's opposition to the deal has been misconstrued in
India. Its opposition is less on substance (it welcomes the capability
limits and one-sided obligations on India) and more on symbolism
(rather than a special exception being carved out for India, it wants
a common standard applicable to the 1970 Nuclear Non-Proliferation
Treaty's non-signatories). Islamabad's strong reaction also sprang
from a foreboding that the deal could open the way for enlargement of
the foothold the US gained in its nuclear programme following the
proliferation scandal in which A.Q. Khan became the scapegoat. But
given its obsessive fixation on parity with New Delhi and clear-eyed
resolve to thwart India's regional pre-eminence, Pakistan has at least
10 reasons to celebrate.

(article abridged)

India's action to import power reactors dependent on imported fuel by
compromising on its vital strategic interests is the 21st-century
equivalent of Sultan Muhammad bin Tuglak's move in 1326 to shift his
capital from Delhi to Devagiri, which he renamed "Daulatabad," or
Abode of Prosperity. India today is being led up the path to a new
Daulatabad where it can entrust its crown jewels for safekeeping.

Nuclear separation to cost India billions
- By Seema Mustafa
Asian Age:

http://www.asianage.com/?sam=2:1:235:230051&headline=Nuclear~separation~to~cost~India~billions

New Delhi, June 10: India will have to spend "tens of billions" of
dollars on separating its military and civilian nuclear facilities,
setting up a new nuclear infrastructure and on dismantling the Cirus
and Apsara reactors.

Nuclear scientists have anonymously floated the figure of $40 billion
for separation and another $60 billion for establishing the proposed
civilian nuclear sector. Significantly, these figures were neither
confirmed nor denied by Department of Atomic Energy chief Anil
Kakodkar when he was questioned about the costs at a press conference.

Informed sources told this correspondent that at this stage even the
government could not cite figures for implementing the finer details
of the US-India civilian nuclear energy agreement, but that it was
safe on the basis of a cursory break-up to predict that the costs
involved would be "staggering" and close to the above figures worked
out by nuclear scientists. For instance, any effort to determine the
cost to the nation of this ambitious exercise of separating the
facilities would have to take into account the billions of dollars
spent in setting up a new facility, refurbishing an old one apart from
what will be spent now on dismantling Cirus, relocating Apsara and
creating additional nuclear facilities in the civilian sector.

The sources said dismantling a radioactive facility was as, if not
more, expensive than setting it up. British newspapers recently
carried a report pointing out that Britain's chancellor of the
exchequer, Mr Gordon Brown, had told ministers that the cost of
cleaning up Britain's nuclear facilities stands at �90 billion,
considerably higher than the earlier figure of �70 billion quoted by
the British government agency overseeing the task. India, for
instance, spent $17 million (with over $9 million coming in from
Canada) on setting up the 40-megawatt Cirus reactor in the 1950s. It
spent more than this in refurbishing it from 1997, and when the task
was completed in 2004 the government announced that this would be good
now for another 20 years. A decision has now been taken under the
nuclear agreement to dismantle it with the cost expected to be far
more than what was spent on construction, taking a conservative total
expenditure on Cirus alone to over $50 million.

In an area where costs are shrouded in secrecy, this is an indication
of what New Delhi will spend in virtually shutting down Cirus and
relocating Apsara. The US has offered eight nuclear reactors for sale
to India with the cost estimated at $20 billion. For this alone the
government will have to spend between two and three billion dollars a
year although the total budget of the Department of Atomic Energy, if
this fiscal year is an indication, is just $2.01 billion.

The government has failed to respond to questions about the costs
involved for India. Nuclear scientists point out that the costs will
be incurred largely through the effort to duplicate the two critical
areas and ensure that the civilian facility does not get used for
military purposes. The government will incur the cost of two nuclear
reactors for every one under construction if it is committed to
keeping the Indian strategic programme intact. India, which has
developed its nuclear programme under sanctions, had cut costs by
using one facility for both civilian and nuclear purposes. Under the
new agreement the military facility might lie idle for long periods,
but the government will not be allowed to use it for civilian
purposes, unlike the P-5, who can move between civilian and military
use at will. This will add to the nation's costs.

The government has not yet spelt out, not even to its strategic
community, whether the agreement will allow it to construct
reprocessing units required for fuelling the fast breeder reactor, for
instance. It is also not clear whether the existing stockpiles will be
kept clear of inventories and signatories, for if these are not so
exempted, then India will not be able to commercialise the fast
breeder reactor or achieve the minimum deterrent level. Sources said
this has not been realised as yet although the government has claimed
that there is no problem on this particular issue.

The question of feasibility has not been addressed by the government
as yet, with scientists still openly worried about how the Department
of Atomic Energy "intends to achieve and maintain such an alien and
artificial situation". Sources pointed out that the strict division of
manpower between civilian and military facilities would be impossible
to maintain, and that faltering on any one of the enforceable promises
made by the government could invite crippling sanctions. The sources
said the figures being cited as possible costs for the separation
should also include the "billions of dollars" incurred by the nation
over the past 50 years in developing a three-stage fast breeder
reactor programme that has virtually been shelved under the Manmohan
Singh government.

Figures in circulation give an idea of the costs involved in setting
up indigenous facilities. These are less than what the nation will
incur after importing the nuclear reactors. The current expenditure
runs at about Rs 6.5 crores per MW with 540 MW TAPS 3 and 4 being set
up at a cost of Rs 6,525 crores, 220 MW RAPS 5 and 6 at Rs 3,072
crores and the 2x1000 MW Kundankulam reactors at Rs 13,171 crores.

The sources pointed out that the purpose of the DAE was to replace
uranium with thorium and that costs should include the loss of revenue
incurred in replacing the world's first thorium reactor with
commercial reactors at three times the cost. The scientific community
is of the view that the US' intention is to cap India's nuclear
weapons capability and "then roll it back to zero". The current US
administration would like to hike costs to a point where India would
have to cap its military capacity automatically, the sources said.

This is war, Mr Prime Minister, not just a crime

Tuesday July 18 2006 00:00 IST

S Gurumurthy

Last week, Jihadi terrorists blasted running trains in Mumbai, killing
some 200 innocent commuters returning home and almost killed another
700, who were injured. This was on Tuesday. The next day, Wednesday,
Lebanese terror outfit Hezbollah captured two Israeli soldiers. Israel
is a tiny dot on this earth while India is a huge country in land and
people. See how the two countries responded to the attacks on them.

By Friday, that is, within a couple of days, Israel struck back,
extinguished over 50 Lebanese in air strikes, and almost destroyed
Beirut airport in the next 72 hours. At stake for Israel were two
Israeli soldiers, who are armed combatants, not unarmed innocents,
like Mumbai commuters.

In 48 hours, wilting under Israeli attack Lebanon had begun crying
before the United Nations for a ceasefire. The US President refused to
calm Israel and asked Lebanon to stop cross border terror!

See, in contrast, what India, seen as an emerging super power, does
when over a thousand innocents are roasted and injured on its soil by
terror from across its borders.

Look at the chronology. Terrorists mass slaughter innocent commuters
en masse on Tuesday evening. The next day Prime Minister swears that
'terror will not cow us down', the usual rhetoric.

On Thursday, he is confused as to what to do next. Finally, on Friday
he summons enough courage and declares that the blasts were engineered
by "elements across the border".

He asserts that unless supported from outside, terrorists "could not
hit with such effect." Thus, it takes 72 hours for the Prime Minister
to hint who the criminals are and who harboured them. But in just 48
hours Israel had brought Lebanon, which had harboured Hezbollah
Jihadis, to its knees.

Terror has attacked India hundred times and more, not for the first
time. This time around, governments in Delhi and Mumbai had clear
information about the terrorists who were about to strike Mumbai. They
even knew which indigenous Islamic outfits were to provide logistic
support. The only thing they did not know was the exact time and place
of strike in Mumbai.

Thus, the Prime Minister must have known on Tuesday itself that it was
a cross border terror attack. Yet, he did not say so till Friday. Why?
Only he can explain. The National Security Advisor told the Indian
Cabinet on Friday that it was Lashker-e-Toiba, the Pakistan-sponsored
terror outfit, which bombed and snuffed out or injured over a thousand
in Mumbai.

Not that the terrorists attacked from hundreds of miles away, from
Islamabad, he said. And added that home grown Jihadis and a terror
outfit, the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) - which is
certified by some seculars in India as secular - had provided logistic
support.

That evening the Prime Minister charged that Pakistan was involved in
the terror, but three precious days were lost by then. The Pakistan
Foreign Minister seized this opportunity and almost said that the
blast was because the Kashmir issue was hanging without resolution!

Had the Prime Minister told the truth on Wednesday, he could not have
said what he had said. And finally, the Prime Minister of this vast
and powerful nation just calls off the peace talk with Pakistan.

In contrast, Israel is murdering Lebanon for capturing two Israeli
combatants and crushing it to cry before the world!

But, fortunately, the Manmohan Singh's charge against Pakistan for
promoting cross border terror came ahead of the proud claim of the LeT
cousin, Laskher-e-Qahar, that it had carried out the strike!

Secular India's debate on terror ignores that Jihad is war against
infidels, not a crime under the Penal Code. The Jihadis believe that
they operate under a higher law. So, normal laws are inadequate to
counter the Jihadis.

Special laws, even draconian ones, have to be put in place, to contain
terror. Even this can do only part of the job. The other part will
have to be handled by war. But shockingly - yes, it is shocking -
secular India feels anti-terror laws are anti-minority. Nothing is
more anti-minority than equating, by implication, minority to terror.

But secular India has convinced many among the minorities that
anti-terror laws are against them!

This is what makes terror a subject of crime instead of the target of
war. This sets human rights against anti-terror laws. Result, it just
costs hundreds and hundreds of human lives to preserve the human
rights of terrorists!

So, Mr Prime Minister, it is not a crime you are handling, but war.
Pot-bellied police and over-crowded courts are not meant to handle
wars of this kind. Israel understands it and so the US too sides with
it. We cannot act differently with the very same Jihadis, whom Israel
is handling by war methods.

Tail piece: The media adds, at the Friday Cabinet meeting, a senior,
but almost senile, minister told the Cabinet that it was not Jihadis,
but, RSS - yes RSS - which bombed the trains and killed the innocent
commuters!

Why? Just to give a bad name to Muslims! Of course, the Prime Minister
kept quiet as he does on most issues. But imagine how the Pakistan PR
machine would take advantage of such frivolous charge by a senior
minister.

Samarpanam?

Corporate Social Responsibility ? - Samarpan is the
answer.

The Buzzword of every corporate organization is social
commitment of the organization. Every established
company has a wing of this order and corporate social
responsibility is the term coined for that. It is an
effort to bring the lesser fortunate humans at par
with the rest. Conducting tuition classes, awarding
scholarships to students, relief in case natural
calamities are among the initiatives.

We at Samarpan emulate the corporate wings in more
ways than one. First and foremost we do continuous
activities and build a group cutting across
organizations and society structure. We are able to
meet success in our initiatives because of one more
reason. Owning our work is the characteristic of every
member in the samarpan. We own our motherland
physically within the current geographic boundaries of
India now and every bit of its culture, language and
ethos. We live with the HEARBEATS of the bharatiya
nation.

People in this endeavor , indeed architects of Bharat
besides making a slow and permanent churning of the
society for good by simple activities inculcate
astonishing levels of character, patriotism and hone
their leadership skills. The fruits of this endeavor
should be a strong motivated youth force - above
personal egos united by national ethos, working in
smaller groups gathering daily handling intricate
activities of immediate society and reviving the glory
of Bharat at large.
