  • 3.The Bofors Lane

    The ruling Party , as of now, is a monolith.

    Bofors Information.
    Bofors Information.

    Curiously, it is a Party, born of Democratic principles, is being run by a Single,extra constitutional, non accountable person.

    People say, it is run be remote.

    No, it is run hands On, only difference the physical hands on different.

    Secure in the knowledge that the potential leaders of Stature have been destroyed, puppets and sycophants without popular base having been installed,, the High Command( a misnomer,there is only One Command Center, why  talk about a High Command?) is audacious to pull anything and get away with it, including the Media.

    A pre-election strategy session is in progress, with the Finance Minister, who listens only to his voice,Defence Minister, who does not know where China is on the Map,Home Minister, who can be guaranteed to shoot his foot in his mouth.two rabble-rousers in the Media, (one can talk endlessly, for he is a Lawyer, without a point and another expert at wild allegations on those who oppose the party and the High Command-often the High Command uses him to test their party’s reactions by asking him to make atrocious charges against their party men and on Policy Matter-used to test the waters and the high Command can also say that ‘the views expressed by him are his very own and the party has nothing to do it).

    Undaunted by firm circumstantial evidence of wrongdoing and corruption, the HC is planning a strategy session.

    In fact, it is a Plan of Blackmail, Bullying and carrots.

    Inevitable roasted cashew nuts, Pakoras and tea are being served for the Assembled.

    Sitting by the side is an effeminate Prime minister, who understands The Bhagavad Gita and Lord Krishna when Krishna said

    ‘Of Languages, I am Silence’ ( Chapter 10-Vibhuti Yoga)

    Hc starts .

    So He is leaving for Chennai.

    Get 35 Lok Sabha seats and tell him he can have 110 seats for the Assembly election.

    Puducherry one Lok Sabha for us.

    The Emissary to Chennai,

    ‘ Madam, there is no election due for the Assembly now’

    ‘Don’t worry, we will arrange it, Our man in Guindy will see to it’

    Turning to Finance Minister,

    Tell the Home mInister to send an Internal Memo,to Home secretary, enquiring the progress  of  the Corruption case against the Governor on Chennai, mark a copy to the Governor Chennai and leak it to the Media, we have DTV which will do a nice job..

    Also inform the old man at Chennai that we getting pressure from the Supreme Court and the Opposition to apply for the cancel the bail of his daughter and some mining irregularity by his Grandson..

    Also drop by Puducherry, meet the present CM and ask him to merge his party after the elections, I will tell him to whom he should ally with once the dates are announced.

    Turning to the Lawyer com rabble-rouser,

    contact the Old Man’s nephew as if on your own for Dinner at my Home to-morrow night, make sure he is not at Chennai, when our Man is there discussing with his Great Uncle.

    Mankollai,Mylapore,Chennai, 2200 hours.

    Amidst the hustle and bustle of mostly middle class area of Mylapore, is festooned with Party banners, Flex boards,buntings, autos blaring loudly with songs in praise of the leaders of TMP, Tamil Munnetra Peravai,  (TMP)Tamils Development Congregation, till recently a part of the ruling coalition at Delhi, now sulking after having been forced out of Power at the Center.

    The Meeting is to be addressed by the Party patriarch Sundara Linganar, aged 80.

    The small fry had been  allowed to speak and now the leader takes the Mike.

    (The Leader has wide and rich experience in the art of communication and the science of keeping the people enthralled)

    He ensures that he speaks last and does not tolerate anyone who can speak better before he does;if they do, they are cut off, literally)

    “My Dear Brothers,who mean more to me than my blood,

    You may wonder, why, at my Age, I have come here, with people supporting me with their shoulders  to ferry me to the dais?

    I would have come, nonetheless without their support,with the support of Tamil, whose cause I have been fighting from my ninth year from my village in deep South.

    Me, A Sudra, has come to be loved by people, because of my dedication and my service to Tamil,for my declaring Tamil as the Classical language, which nobody thought of.

    I have sacrificed my life many a times,

    I laid my head on the Railway track(when I was sure no train shall pass then) to change its Name,

    I gave up my life when Tamils were being massacred in Sri Lanka,, by going on an indefinite fast ,( from breakfast to noon), till the killing of the Tamils were stopped and Tamil Elam declared.

    I gave toothpaste to school children.

    I erected statues for everyone (who can assure me votes, dead or alive) in Public places.

    I fought for separate TamilNadu and State autonomy.

    Delhi was run from Chennai(cheers from the crowd)

    Now the Parliament is debating the Food Security Bill.

    We do not support the Bill but support the attempt in Passing the bill.

    But if Delhi were to adopt our amendments in the Bill we will welcome it.

    But the Delhi queen would not do it.

    The Aryans of the North, the Brahmin  Business Lobby  and Brahmin Media will not allow her.

    Let me warn Delhi,

    If the Bill is passed without our amendments, Blood will flow in TamilNadu.

    (The assistant hands over a chit which states that the Food Security Bill is passed without the suggested Amendments)

    Speech resumes…

    As I was saying Delhi will not dare touch us and play with our sentiments.

    I just received a note that the parliament has passed the Bill with Amendments.

    Your voice has been heard.

    This is the victory of the party and the people of TamilNadu.

    Your Party will be celebrating this momentous event, victory over the Aryans and the North Indians  Mount Road Maha Vishnu and Kulluka Bhattars for a period of one month.

    Donate liberally to your party to fight your cause and enroll your subscriptions to our party Daily.

    Long Live our Deceased Leader’

    Thunderous applause.

    The patriarch’s son, and CM and party Chief in waiting whispers to his Father,

    ‘Urgent Call from Delhi,Madam wants to speak to you urgently”

  • Power Changes People’s Brain Study Confirms.

    People change with Power.

    The power may come in many denomination.

    Money,Political Power,Muscle Power…..

    Power also corrupts.

    And ‘Absolute Power corrupts Absolutely,

    What we know by experience is confirmed by a Study.

    Power effects changes in the Brain.

    if we  remember power is temporary and being Humane is permanent one would not be intoxicated with it.

    Out of Attachment arises Anger,Of attachment intellect stumbles,when intellect stumbles, Man perishes.

    Power and Behavior
    Power and Behaviorhttp://www.reddit.com/tb/1k32yu

    Story:

    Now with a new study there’s evidence to support that claim.

    Obhi and his fellow researchers took a bunch of participants and randomly put them in the mindset of feeling either powerful or powerless. The powerless group was asked to write a diary entry about a time they depended on others for help. The powerful group wrote entries about times they were calling the shots, and they knew it. (There was also a control group, neither powerful or powerless, who wrote about something else entirely.)

    Then everybody watched a simple video. In it, an anonymous hand squeezes a rubber ball a handful of times—sort of monotonous.

    But while the video ran, Obhi’s team tracked the participants’ brains, looking at a special region called the mirror system.

    The mirror system is important because it contains neurons that become active both when you squeeze a rubber ball and when you watch a stranger squeeze a rubber ball. It is the same thing with picking up a cup of coffee, hitting a baseball, or flying a kite. Whether the stranger does it, or you do it, your mirror system activates either way.

    In this small way, the mirror system places you inside a stranger’s head. Furthermore because our actions are linked to deeper thoughts like beliefs and intentions, you can also begin to understand the motivations another person has for squeezing a rubber ball, to pick an example.

    Understanding what another person wants—and perhaps more importantly, doesn’t want—for him or herself is actually a key component of developing empathy.

    Obhi’s team wanted to see if bestowing a person with a feeling of power or powerlessness would change how the mirror system responded to a stranger performing a simple action.

    The researchers found that the mirror system—and by extension, one’s ability to connect with others—was tuned down by power.

    “What we’re finding is power diminishes all varieties of empathy,” says Dacher Keltner, a social psychologist at UC Berkeley not involved in the new study. He says these results fit a trend within psychological research, but add the hint of some possible biological machinery behind the phenomenon.

    Dacher Keltner says understanding that process is absolutely vital.

    “Whether you’re with a team at work [or] your family dinner, all of that hinges on how we adapt our behaviors to the behaviors of other people. And power takes a bite out of that ability, which is too bad.”

  • Indian Army Killed Sikhs Nazi Style, Blue Star Revisited

    Operation Blue Star., Demolished Temple
    Operation Blue Star.
    A Trailer of a Documentary by Day and Night Channel released says, from eyewitness accounts that the an Indian Army Major shot about Thirty people in the Golden Temple Complex, during Operation Blue Star in 1984, to flush out Sikh Extremists  led by Bhindrawale.

    The documentary , according to is producer, Mr. Kanwar Sandhu, is in nine parts.

    More Videos at YouTube.

    He states that he is trying to piece together  as to what exactly happened during operation Blue Star, including the atrocities perpetrated by Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and his band of followers.

    There have been allegations that excessive force was used during Operation Blue star and civilians were killed pointblank by the Indian Army.

    This controversy never really died down and it surfaces during the death Anniversary of Bhindranwale.

    Indira Gandhi, in her last effort to wrest power from the Akali Dal, to which the Congress had lost power for many years, since Pratap Singh Kairon,  groomed Bhindranwale,a n intemperate and extremist preacher, by projecting the plight of Punjab at the hands of the Punjab Government at the and later by India itself.

    Bhindranwale became a Frankenstein Monster and the fight for secession from India by Punjab got out of control

    Bhindranwale and his followers holed up in the Sikh’s Holy Temple, The Golden Temple in Amritsar and started attacking People and Indian Forces.

    By an Operation named Operation Blue Star, Bhindrenwale was killed, militants flushed out.

    Now to the current Documentary.

    One of the key accusers is Ramuwalia, till sometime back in Congress , now in Akali dal, who says that 30 people were killed in Nazi Style execution.

    It is interesting to note that Ramuwalia was a Central Minister under the NDA.

    He kept quiet for 29 years!.

    And the Akalis were a part of the Central Government twice, after the incident and they have been in power in Punjab as well!

    One has to be suspicious of this as the ISI on the one hand is fueling terrorism in India, Naxalites are calling the shots in the eastern and Mideastern India.

    Not that Indian Army is incapable of such acts, we have excesses in Kashmir, IPKF in Sri Lanka and there were excesses in Operation Blue Star as well, though by and large the Indian Army is well disciplined and keeps out of Politics.

    Any designs?

    Operation Blue Star, The Untold Story:

    Who were the eye-witnesses to the Golden Temple episode?
    1. Devinder Singh Duggal – In charge of the Sikh Reference Library located
    inside the Golden Temple complex. Duggal is an acknowledged authority on
    Sikh history. He used to reside in a house adjacent to the Sikh Reference
    Library, was present there between May 28 and June 6, 1984 and hence (in
    his own words) “an eye-witness to some of the atrociities committed by the
    Army during its attack on the Golden Temple”. About fiftyish, Duggal now
    lives with his lecturer-wife in Jallandhar, where we interviewd him. His eyes
    become moist and his voice quivered as he described the assault on the
    Golden Temple.
    2. Bhan Singh- Secretary of the S.G.P.C., short, slim, in his mid fifties,
    Bhan Singh is a man of few words. He was present in the Golden
    Temple Complex during the Army attack and was arrested at dawn on June 6 along with Longowal and Tohra from the Guru Nanak Nivas
    which now houses the SGPC Office, where we met and talked to him.
    His account begins from June 3, 1984.
    3. Giani Puran Singh – one of the priests at Harmandir Sahib.
    4. Girl Student – Grand-daughter of SGPC member, she preferred to
    remain anonymous. Aged about 20 years, she goes to college at
    Amritsar. She went to the Golden Temple on May 29, 1984, with her
    grand-parents and an aunt, to fulfill a vow, and was there until June 6.
    We met her in Amritsar in the house of a widowed victim of the
    November 1984 Delhi violence.
    5. A.I.S.S.F. Member – about 25-years old, he would not give his
    name, son of a police officer, he was visiting the Golden Temple in
    June 1984 for the Gurupurab and was there from June 1. He was
    arrested by the Army on June 6 but released in October. He was
    rearrested soon after and had been again released a little before we
    met him. Remarkably calm and soft spoken, he said that there were
    about 100 fighters with Bhindranwale inside the Temple Complex and
    less than 100 arms, mostly, 303 guns of the II World War. Extremely
    handsome, he is a member of the All India Sikh Students Federation.
    6. Prithipal Singh – A young (24 years) Sevadar at the Akal Rest
    House, inside the Guru Ram Das Serai, Golden Temple complex,
    where mostly distinguished guests stayed. He was on duty throughout
    the period of the Army Operation. He narrated how he had a hairbreadth escape, even after being lined up before the firing squad on
    June 6, after he had been arrested, stripped naked and his hands had
    been tied behind his back with his turban. He showed us the bulletridden walls of the Akal Rest House, where we spoke to him.
