Death of a Salesman - Jyoti Basu
Haldiram owner, 4 others get life imprisonment in murder case!
Crossing through the Avenue just before Bankshall Court in BBD Bagh area in Kolkata this evening AMUSED me to relish the FUN of so called Mainstream Media which Crowed with the OB Vans on the doors of the court as Kolkata Marwari Businessmen, HLDIRAM owner has been sentenced LIFE Term this afternoon. What a GLORIFICATION of Corrupt Indian Judiciary System which Bails out the Influential People so many time as BOFORS case and defence Kickbacks exposed finely. AMBANI Brothers` Dispute Robs off
against Indigenous Aboriginal and Minority Landscape and alienated
within the Hindu Nation. The Raj and the Zionist Dynasty and defend the Crores of Indian Revenue as the Supreme court is unable to pass any result so far. SC Icon Mayawati, OBC leaders Lalu Prasad Yadav and Mulayam singh Yadav have been TRAPPED well as has been Shibu Soren to remain MUTE supporter of the All Out Assult Humanscape Brahmin Presence Overloaded in the so called IMPARTIAL Judiciary in fact works for the Brhamin Bania Manusmriti Rule as the Stetue of MANU Maharaj in the High Court Premise in Jai Pur proves very well.
Indian Supreme Court deleted the Name of late Comrade Jyoti Basu from the list of Accused in MARICHJHANPI Massacre case which occured right in January , 1979. Basu is dead and the exclusion of his name seems quite justified. But the question remains unanswered why the Judiciary, Intelligentsia, Media and Civil Society so GENUINE, SO IMPARTIAL remained MUTED all these years almost Thirty Five years while the Brahaminical Zionist Hegemony King and Gestapo head Genocide Master Comrade Jyoti Basu was Ruling and Active, Alive!
Action Alert!
Day after Tomorrow on 31st January we do Celebrate MARICHJHANPI day to ENSURE NO MARICHJHANPI in future. Please Join us in Bharat Sabha Hall, on BB Ganguli St. , near the Connector on Central Avenue and the Metro stateion sharp on 3PM. We would be presenting some of the Victims and Eye Witnesses of the Massacre. The President of Nagarik Manch, Professor SUNAND Sanyal and other dignitaries would be present. Please Come! I am posting the Original Invitation and the relevant Leaflet in Bengali with this write up.

Prabhu Shankar Agarwal was convicted by Tapan Sen, judge
of fourth fast track court at Bankshall here along with history-sheeters Gopal
Tiwari, Arun Khandelwal, Manoj Sharma and Raju Sonkar.
Agarwal and
others were found guilty of conspiring to murder Pramod Sharma, nephew of the
tea stall owner Satyanarayan Sharma on March 30, 2005.
Agarwal had
faced obstruction in the construction of a huge food plaza at Burrabazar as the
entrance was blocked by a tea stall owned by Satyanarayan, who was running it
for the last 50 years.
Agarwal, who had got other tenants to vacate
the premises on Jugmohan Mallick Lane, could not make the tea stall owner to
move out.
The prosecution had stated that Satyanarayan had been
threatened by the accused a few days before the attack.
In the early
morning of March 30, Tiwari and his henchmen raided the shop and fired seriously
injuring Pramod Sharma.
Agarwal, who was in London to open his first
overseas food plaza at the time of the attack, was arrested when he returned
home two months later.
Agarwal was arrested at IGI Airport as soon
as he landed and was handed over to the Kolkata Police.
The other
accused persons were also arrested. All of the them, were however, released on
bail later.
The prosecution, during trial, submitted that Tiwari and
his henchmen had embarked on the murder bid at the behest of Agarwal.
While Agarwal was convicted under sections 307 (attempt to murder)
and 120B (conspiracy), the other four were found also found guilty under the
Arms Act.

BRAHMIN - BANIYA PRINT MEDIA - IS NOT A MEDIA OF PROPAGATION OF INFORMATION ALONE, BUT A CONSPIRATION MEDIA OF CONTROLLING THE BRAIN AND MIND OF BAHUJAN SAMAJ WHAT IS BRAHMIN - BANIYA PRINT MEDIA? In a Democracy, the press media has to play a very important role . In any democracy, creating public opinion is a duty of press media. A real democracy cannot function without public opinion. Basically, Democracy is against Brahminism. Therefore, in a democratic setup, Brahminism cannot survive. The Brahmins know it very well. it is due to this fact, the Brahminism has formulated its own strategy and policy to control this fourth pillor of democracy (Press Media) with a view to establish control over it and to convert it into Brahminocracy. As a result of this strategy, today we find that the press media is under control of Brahmins & Bahiyas. If you have a cursory look at the press-Media, we can find that the chain-papers of the country are being owned by Baniyas, whether it is a "HINDUSTAN TIMES" group of Birla, "TIMES OF INDIA" group of Jain-Dalmiya, 'EXPRESS" group of Goenka, "PIONEER" group of Thapar or "LOKMAT" group of Darda or "JAGARAN" group of Agarwal. Form this group of publication, it can be proved that these, "chain-papers" are controlled by Baniyas. These chain-papers have very many striking features. The most important feature of these publications is that, they prepare the readers, to think the same way, as these papers ought to think and the most dangerous thing about these Chain-papers is that their influence is not limited to the readers alone, but most dominating influence of them can be seen over language and regional papers. The policy or the information-instructions, these chain papers decide, the same is being followed and repeated by language and regional papers. The way the "FUNDS" of Baniyas are controlling the print media, the same way the "BRAIN" and "PEN" of Brahmins is controlling it. it is therefore, we call this Print Media a "BRAHMIN-BANIYA Print Media". There are other features of Brahmin-Baniya Print Media, because of which it can be easily identified. These features are given below in brief;-

Resonant Justice Police needs better superintendence It is more than
mere judicial tut-tutting. The setback has been devastating and the
nature of governance in West Bengal must now be open to question as
never before. Friday’s order of Calcutta High Court
(coram: SS Nijjar, CJ; and Pinaki Chandra Ghose, J) leaves the
government without a leg to stand upon. The conduct of the
administration stands indicted with the observation that the 14 March
firing in Nandigram was “wholly unconstitutional”. Which implies that
the action was totally out of proportion to the provocation. Mr
Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, as the political curator of Nandigram, as the
Chief Minister and the Home (Police) Minister must acknowledge his own
direct culpability. At the very least, and as had been suggested in
these columns eight months ago, he must resign from the position of the
Police minister. That the government plans to go in appeal is neither
here nor there; the Court has not stayed the operation of its order and
unless the Supreme Court sets it aside, the indictment stands.
Politically, the Marxists often claim the high moral ground; if Mr
Bhattacharjee remains head of the police establishment, his party will
lose the right to ever criticise a Narendra Modi or Bal Thackeray. The
court has rubbished the claim of sovereign immunity in defence of the
action. The message must be resonant enough: for exactly eight months
was the state trying to defend the indefensible. The indictment and the
defeat is legal as well as administrative. The armed offensive against
peasants, intent on protecting their source of livelihood, was carried
out with a calculated ruthlessness that was seemingly more brutal than
the firing on refugees in Marichjhanpi (1978), against the Gorkhaland
agitators (1986) and against Mamata Banerjee’s rally at Esplanade
(1993). It bears recall too that the nature of the bullet injuries ~ on
the backs of victims ~ was completely inhuman. The government has been
put on notice, and there may yet be more worms crawling out of the
Nandigram can as the CBI has been directed to continue the probe. The
compensation for the rape victims confirms reports that the party and
government had tried to reject. Thoroughly contemptuous and deserving
of censure has been Binoy Konar’s reaction: “Does the court expect the
police to contain rowdies by spraying Gangajal and reading out the
Gita?” Such vacuity is of a piece with the rusgolla-mudki analogy of
Biman Bose, who now carps at the judiciary for delayed development. Mr
Bose is already before the Supreme Court appealing an earlier judgment
of the High Court holding him guilty of contempt. That the matter has
not been taken up for consideration ought not to be construed as
licence to shoot his mouth off. Lauding heroes National veterans’
policy needed There is every reason to appreciate the
Uttarakhand government's substantially increasing the monetary benefits
extended to winners of national gallantry awards. The cynics might
attribute that to the chief minister himself being a former military
officer, as well as the fact that the region does send plenty of its
men to the forces so there are many “army families” on the electoral
rolls. That, however, would be unkind to Maj-Gen BC Khanduri (retd.).
Even when he was an "ordinary" MP he had championed the cause of the
old soldier (of course not all gallantry awardees have completed their
military service), including World War II veterans who had been ignored
by the political community because it was ~ as Pranab Mukherjee once
asserted ~ "not our war". The recently announced increases, in some
cases as much as 25 times, would probably be among the highest in the
country. So there is genuine cause for festivity in
Lansdowne, Dehra Dun and Ranikhet, the “homes” of the Garhwal Rifles,
11 Gorkhas and Kumaon Regiment respectively. Not to mention several
other military establishments in the state. A larger question does,
alas, cause more than a pinprick. Must the benefits for war heroes and
ex-servicemen, or veterans which is now the preferred term, vary so
much? It would have been acceptable if there was a “high” bottom line,
but that is not the case. While traditionally “martial” states like
Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan are fairly generous, others are miserly.
Yet the soldier serves the nation, and sympathy is due to those who get
a poor deal because they live in the wrong state. The disparity in
monetary benefits is also reflected in other welfare support, indeed
even respect for the uniform. Since indifferent treatment of serving
soldiers/veterans has been identified as one reason for declining
morale and poor quality “material” turning up at the recruiting office,
it is necessary to undertake a comprehensive revamp of the way the
Centre and the states share the responsibility (or lack of it) of
backing up soldiers and veterans. A fresh national veterans' policy
needs to be evolved, and implemented. The Uttarakhand bonanza must not
cause heartburn elsewhere. An adult failure Rising crime against
children The grot and glitz of Incredible India appeared to be all too
stark on 14 November, Children’s Day. The report of the National Human
Rights Commission, ironically released on that day, grimly points to an
adult failure to protect the child. The reality is chilling at the
mildest estimation, and makes a mockery of the platitudes that are
associated with the occasion. There has been a 4 per cent increase in
crimes against children, and this violation of child rights is now a
countrywide scourge. And the rising graph points to a shocking 14 per
cent increase in child rape and a 10 per cent rise in kidnapping.
Equally forbidding is the challenge of missing children, and the search
usually leads nowhere or is a half-hearted effort at crime detection.
The adults at the helm of civil society remain remarkably insensitive
to the problem in a country where 44,000 children are reported missing
every year. Of whom an estimated 11,000 remain untraced. So it is that
as West Bengal flounders in the face of adult fiascoes and foibles,
there has been no attempt to trace the six children who have been
missing from Howrah’s squalid Pilkhana area for the past six months.
There has been no effort either to track down the culprits. The police
have been bungling in the absence of clues. To claim that a drug
cartel, involved in the buying and selling of children, is responsible
is no comfort to the parents grappling with the tragedy. This is no
more than a diagnosis of the malaise with little or no attempt to get
to the root. Not that the state government alone is indifferent; even
the Centre’s information and broadcasting minister, on a recent visit
to Howrah, seemed wholly disinterested in the matter. The news is much
too shameful to be aired in the drawing rooms.

What Justices Sachar and Misra knew, but ignored
**
Alok Rai
Ghosh's new novel - The Hungry Tide - has a sharp, "modern" opening. One of
the two "outsiders" on the Dhakuria commuter platform, Kanai Dutt, media
executive with "the true connoisseur's ability to both praise and appraise
women" and only intermittently single, is somewhat reluctantly on his way
to see his aunt Nilima, who lives somewhere in the middle of the
Sunderbans. He notices the other "outsider", Piya, the once-Bengali
researcher, she of the "neatly composed androgyny", who is on her way to
the Sunderbans in order to pursue her research into the habits and habitats
of the river dolphin, the Orcaella.
|
two chatting, explaining to each other their purposes for being in what is,
on the face of it, an unlikely place for both of them. Ah well, Love in the
Delta, so to speak!
The threat of this opening is, mercifully, soon belied
- the two take off in their separate directions, and while we get a
curiously staccato narration - cut to one, cut to the other - of what they
do, and inevitably, of the pasts that play through their present doings,
they do not actually meet again until the middle of the book. By which
time, of course, our readerly plate is piled high with themes and
resonances and the threat of casual romance looms small indeed.
It is a pleasure to see Ghosh getting into the spacious narrative style
that is his forte. It enables him to deploy his gift for leisurely,
thoughtful exposition. Once in a while, I must confess, the narrative
device of having one character say to another - "since you asked, let me
tell you" - did seem a little overused, but on the whole, it seemed an
acceptable concession to the narrative pretext that enables Ghosh to get so
many different themes and people to inhabit the same mind-space.
Perhaps the most important of these is worked, ironically, through the
figure of a character who has died several years before the novel opens -
Nilima's husband, Nirmal. It is the discovery of his papers - sealed, to be
delivered to his nephew Kanai - which is the immediate cause for Kanai to
be making this visit at all.
Nirmal's notebook, spliced in bite-sized instalments in between the
alternate glimpses of Kanai's and Piya's separate but converging
trajectories, is being written against an embattled and encroaching present
in which it will be too late for words anyway, on the eve of the
Marichjhapi massacre; it concerns people and themes that are not only there
in the present of the narration, in which Kanai reads it, but haemorrhage
also, as in the "argument" between utopias and liberalism, or that between
human needs and environmental concerns, into the present in which we are
reading the work.
In writing about "the tide country", Ghosh seems to have found the perfect
landscape, one that "says" almost everything that he has been writing about
for so long and with such eloquence. Thus, a translated fragment from
Nirmal's Bangla notebook-letter reads:
"... interposed between the sea and
the plains of Bengal, lies an immense archipelago of islands ... the
trailing threads of India's fabric, the ragged fringe of her sari, the
anchal that follows her, half-wetted by the sea. ... The rivers' channels
are spread cross the land like a fine-mesh net, creating a terrain where the
boundaries between land and water are always mutating, always
unpredictable. Some of these channels are mighty waterways, others are no
more than two or three kilometres long and only a few hundred metres
across. Yet, each of these channels is a 'river' in its own right, each
possessed of its own strangely evocative name.... There are no borders here
to divide fresh water from salt, river from sea. ..
The currents are so
powerful as to reshape the islands almost daily - some days the water tears
away entire promontories and peninsulas; at other times it throws up new
shelves and sandbanks where there were none before...."
Dreams come easy in this magic land. And part of what is at play in
Nirmal's notebook is the contrast between the original utopian impulse that
prompted the initial "colonial" settlements of the Sunderbans by Daniel
Hamilton in the 1920s, and the subaltern-utopian motivation that underlay
the appropriation of Marichjhapi island by doubly displaced Bangladeshis in
1979. Hamilton's is a sort of "Nehruvian" ambition, to make a place where
people would shed their atavistic baggage of custom and prejudice and avail
of the blessings of modernity.
Nature and bureaucracy - also a kind of
Nature? - grind that into the mud, because of course there is little dust
in the Sunderbans. Marichjhapi island was settled, briefly, by desperate
refugees from the resettlement colony of Dandakaranya. The heroic and
ineluctable community of these doubly-distressed Dalits was of little
avail against the guns of the "leftist" government of Kolkata, deployed in
defence of the "environment" but also, it is strongly implied, against
subaltern presumption. Dreams are soon dead, too - in this nightmare land.
Nirmal's quondam-leftist yearning for heroic, revolutionary transformation
is contrasted with Nilima's modest "liberal" ambition to "make a few
little things a little better in one small place... after all these years,
it has amounted to something: it's helped people; it's made a few people's
lives a little better. But that was never enough for Nirmal..."
The
abstract contrast between utopia and liberalism is enacted, naturally, at
the level of the their fraught domestic lives. Similarly, the tension
between the ecological-environmental position as against the needs of the
human beings who must, just as naturally, seek to survive in that hostile
environment is dramatised in the wordless and doomed passion of Piya and
her illiterate boatman Fokir.
Piya's final return to Nilima's hospital and to Lusibari with another
research grant to study her beloved river-dolphins does not - indeed,
cannot - represent a resolution of the fundamental existential and
ideological tensions that the novel embodies. It merely signifies her
mature recognition of the smudged provisionality in which we must live.
Meanwhile.
It is interesting to ask whether and in what ways Ghosh addresses (or
eludes) the problems of audience and register that are an inescapable part
of writing the Indian English novel. Thus, the question of "audience" is
central to the kind of "explanation " that is deemed necessary by the
writer. One wonders, for instance, what is the function of the italicised
"native" items - chhata, sarkar? To the Indian reader, these will appear
merely gratuitous, exotic spice inserted to reassure Western readers that
what they are encountering is a safe blend of the familiar and the
unfamiliar. I am not sure that there is any really satisfactory solution to
the problem, other than the "arrogant" self-confidence of the American
writer, who eschews all explanation.He addresses a sufficient audience at
home, and people who find American realities unfamiliar can walk that extra
mile.I wonder if this cultural process is in turn affected by the larger
econo-military enterprise whereby American "realities" are themselves,
mutatis mutandi and even as we speak, being converted into the facts of
globalized life.
The problem of register is, if anything, even trickier. Although Ghosh
endows his protagonist Kanai with a particular talent for languages, none
of this interest - neither his, nor Ghosh's - is in evidence in the
language of The Hungry Tide. After all, English is spoken in a great
variety of ways in India, and at least some of these have become culturally
framed as absurd and parodic, even though they may not be intended as such
by the language users themselves. Thus, the timid rural lad who struggles
to express himself in broken English doesn't intend to be comic. He might
even, from another perspective, be perceived as the embodiment of a
colossal human tragedy, but the writer will have to struggle against the
conventional undertow towards caricature.
Then again, there is a whole range of people - millions, hundreds of
millions - who use no English at all. Their adequate lives are lived in a
bewildering variety of languages and dialects that have - and perhaps can
have - no equivalent English registers, except the "Indian English"
caricature. The main characters in Ghosh's novel are all English-educated,
and can use the language fluently and transparently. All except Fokir, who
is tongue-tied and uses the wordless language of sign and gesture. However,
the solution of making all one's major characters fluent in English, and
reducing minor characters to degrees of silence, is really no solution at
all.
Ghosh bypasses this problem altogether by resorting, uniformly, to a
neutral, level register of sophistication and nuance that is maintained
through the range of characters and through the diverse situations in which
they find themselves. Thus, even as Kanai is practically drowning in the
slime of the Sunderbans, his thoughts are meticulously grammatical,
inflected with relative clauses and poised parentheses. This,. too, is a
kind of convention, I suppose. And I am sufficiently fond of Ghosh's
authorial voice to not mind the fact that it resonates, Godlike, throughout
his fictional universe.
