Greatest joke ever, only 42800[ Crorepatis]people with more than Rs.10 million income in India?

The Budget speech and the manipulation with numbers and percentages are over. But you don't need an Harvard or Wharton doctorate to know or find out how many are there in India with more than Rupees one crore [ten million] income.All the Doctorates that our prime minister,finance minister and planning commission head, possesses is useless.Because any 10th standard boy can find out easily, those with more than 1 crore income.

I can compile state by state, the exact number of people with more than 1 Crore income, which is possible with just 10th standard boys or girls from every district,easily more than 1 Crore. Take all the Land and Building registration done for more than 50 lacs in the last 5 years alone first.Take a list of people who has purchased luxury cars worth more than 25 lacs alone. see their houses and calculate the market value of those houses ask for their income source. Simple as that. We will deal with stashed away funds later as the electronic data is bound to come out in the open sooner or later.

If even after such so called wizards of Management and Accounting, these guys who call themselves great economists, do not know all the above methods then they don't deserve to be in the positions they are occupying. Or the fact is they wants to hide all those people and protect their identity, which is the only other explanation they can give. Or simply even if they insist they are honest,no stupid fools are going to believe that.  

If indeed that numbers are true, then our country is in bigger trouble than we thought we are in,because those are the 42800 blood suckers or, they are actually good citizens who have filed their tax returns. All others have to be booked first.Let the list of those 42800 be published first.Our countries people have a right to know who they are or who are not in the list. Any way our Finance minister has made his first blunder.

European markets might come crushing sooner than later.


PAUL KRUGMAN quips:
This is the way the euro ends: not with the banks but with bunga-bunga.
As he says, the market gyrations spurred by Italy's discomfiting election are not a sign of the single currency's imminent demise, but they are a clear warning that Europe's crisis is anything but over. 
There are quite simply too many ways for things to go wrong and so few ways for things to go right. An exit from recession remains elusive—unsurprisingly, given the continent wide commitment to budget cuts and too-tight monetary policy. And recession is exerting consistent and intense pressure on governments across many different countries. For the crisis to remain in check, political systems in every country must withstand that pressure. Because when they don't, there are spillover effects; Italy's mess is generating a rise in Spanish bond yields.
Today's market jitters are the creaks and groans of a shaky euro-zone infrastructure straining under the heavy weight of macroeconomic weakness. Ideally, Europe's leaders would work to shore up that infrastructure and lesson the economic load. Instead, they seem determined to make us all wait and watch, to see if the flimsy structure will stand or collapse. Maybe it will stand. But it only takes the failure of one little strut to bring the whole thing down. And there are so many little struts.

If You have not seen The Nilgiris,Its a great miss.


The Queen of Hills, The Nilgiris in South India.

The name Nilgiris translated to English means Blue Mountains. This mountain range is a part of Western Ghats recently brought under the UN Heritage sites to be preserved. The location of the range is almost in the midst or rather borders 3 south Indian states namely Tamilnadu, Kerala and Karnataka. Andhra Pradesh is not very far from these mountain ranges as well.
It is one of the most enchanting places for those who are after pure natural beauty. The most scenic places are breath taking in its sheer panorama, views of reserved forests [Preserved as 50 years ago is the claim of the officials] Human habitation in these natural habitat of Tribal’s along with animals, birds and the rivulets with waterfalls, lakes  etc, has been encroached by other communities from the plains for business and loot of all the abundant natural wood cover and other valuable produces, the reason for degradation,cannot be denied, and the place is showing strains of men animal conflict which has become more direct these days, as the animals has been encroaching nearby villages and roads in search of water and food.It was a result of men first grabbed their land for plantations etc.

I have spent almost 5 years at Coonoor, first time during the mid Nineties and second time from last year. The crossing of wild animals earlier was a rare sight though, is becoming more and more regular these days, with herds of elephants and other wild animals on or crossing the roads have become more frequent these days. But don’t worry I have been driving up and down to these hill tops almost 2500 meters above mean sea level, regularly at least twice weekly and have realized, if you don’t bother them with honking of horns, in most cases they majestically walk away not hurting us. But it is scary also at times.My suggestion is to avoid night travels as you can not enjoy the sight in darkness anyway. 

There are so many places of interests such as Ooty,Coonoor,Kotagiri,Mudumalai and so many other places of natures abundance which, has to be experienced or you are missing something in this world. These are the places notified as ‘must see destinations’ in almost all tourist guidebooks and National Geographic channels etc.

For a person with love for nature, it is like the heavens though; growing population has resulted in deterioration of the forest cover. In fact, these places are used by outlaws and other looters taking the cover of the forests to hide from the law enforcement agencies like Forests officials, State police and other agencies.The climate though has been very pleasant decades back, now has become unpredictable with lack of rain or flooding, drought and at times too chilly and some sunny days too hot. The booming townships are reason for the decaying of the pure tropical forest cover and god knows what it will be like in a couple of decades from now.


For vacationers the nearest Airport is Coimbatore and a mountain railway which is more than a century old is still taking tourists up and down daily. You may go to Kerala, Karnataka as per your wish after seeing the places of interests full of history and natures wonder called the Nilgiris, where one gets lost by the sheer thrilling experiences of being in the midst of wild forest and beautiful valleys and mountain ranges along with nice and friendly people who are very innocent.

The Queen with a stolen Diamond [Kohinoor]

The whole world knows Kohinoor diamond belonged to India. It was looted by the British from the Mugals and the same was presented to none other than the Queen, Victoria, by some crooks who wanted to please the queen by giving her the costliest diamond ever. The crazy queen must have presented the guy with some name such as ''lord or 'god' as they tend to do even these days. But wearing a crown with stolen diamond in it  itself is so degrading, for any righteous guy or lady on earth because naturally, every time the queen wears the crown people are tend to remark 'hey see that diamond stolen from India'.Just imagine the mentality of such a queen in showing off with stolen stuff.If such is the mentality of the first citizen of any country then one can very well imagine what will be the mind set of the rest of the countrymen.

If stealing is legal in any country with the king or queen herself encouraging such activities, then what do you call that countrymen or such monarchs.Country of thieves right? Then how come there are so many people put behind the bars for stealing,when the queen herself is guilty of the same crime.What legal system is that, when the queen can steal but her fellow citizens can't do it because it then becomes a crime.

In a so called democratic country, how can they justify keeping the stolen article/material even after the proof   of real identity is known & proven to the whole world in these multimedia age.I am more baffled by Indians who try to follow rather comically clone, every act and mannerisms that is related to such a country of thieves and bandits.

If our countrymen still do not understand the greatness of our country even after realizing the truth emerging out of our own written scriptures and great qualities inherent in our own country of great people, then we can only call them as fools of the highest degree.

Helping women is helping society as a whole.


Money in the hands of women are more likely to be used for the noble purpose of family unlike, men [At least 50%] who tend to spend mostly on trivia like drugs and drinks.To help the society it is important to help their women,who are mostly selfless workers who go  on working day and night to bring up children and to look after older ones in the family.
This has been the thought behind Grameen Foundation, pioneers in micro financing, enabling hundred of thousands of poor families all over the world survive with dignity and self esteem.I am strongly advocating their mode as he simplest and most effective way to eradicate poverty from the face of the earth.
As more and more people gets associated with it the en-devour can have a marvelous effect on the life of the majority who are poor people of the world as a whole.It is there fore important to support them in eradicating poverty in African,Asian, Latin american countries.I am aware there are millions of very rich people all over the world, who can be prompted to part with some of their idle funds at least ,to make these poorest among the poor people survive.
One can imagine the harshest realities of life in extremes conditions,with out food or water and we hear people die of mere hunger and thirst,which with the support from the selfless rich can be avoided.Imagine the power of saving lives exists but people still are not coming forward and in most cases their wealth vanishes soon, also on majority of cases spoils their children who simply fail to understand what to do with a fortune left behind by a miser father.Instead those rich guys can show the way for their children to grow up helping the needy.That will make them feel they are worthy citizens, who are contributing towards saving lives of people.
Just imagine what better ways do you have to inculcate these values in your children ,who on the other side may perish by indulging in sinful acts due to the abundance of wealth they inherit, which itself become the reason and bane for their useless life for the society,nation and the whole world.

The most barbarian tribes called 'Brutish'.


Ah ha The great Prime minister of UK showing his regret for the massacre by Gen.Dyer[his name it self has death in it.],but stops short of an apology. Their mindset is clear from the Prince, who was narrating his mass killings in Afghanistan,as something like playing video games.For all their actions they have suffered in the hands of Germans.The fools knows nothing about spirituality nor do they understand the difference between sins and good deeds.They are the greediest creed and most barbaric tribes on earth.Their name it self has its origin from the word 'Brutish".Their long term plan of trying to destroy what ever was Indian and its great culture has been proved as deliberate conspiracy by recent scientific advancement,through which their whole plan ,with the help of another greedy fool named Max Muller, has been proved to be facts imagined,in fact the Colonialists paid him for each page of fiction ,and taught the same in Schools all over world to prove they are the great ones,but the fact is one can see and identify from a duplicate from the original. Those who pretends to be asleep can not be woken.The fact is the knowledge base of the whole world is in India and those doubting Thomas syndrome is due to the lack of balanced mind.Which has been brain washed to such extends and the clones here in India still believes in their theory. The saying that the fools rush in where, the wise fear to tread is apt.

Long live the Queen for enduring all the pain they inflicted on others,only then will death bless them with an escape.

Maoist movement has reached south Western Ghats of India.

The disturbing news this week has been the spread of Maoists elements down south reaching the Reserved Forests Area of Western Ghats,which incidentally has been declared under World Heritage sites Under United Nations 'must preserve' areas for the much needed breathing space for the tropical forests,essential for preserving the ecological balance for the survival of our people,animals,birds and culture.

The news of Mao militant units movement has coincided with the above declaration by UN,made recently.But the fact is they are not our enemies but the most unfortunate people ,affected by the mind boggling corruption and scams coming out in the open regularly since the last few years.The top 1% of our politicians,corporate honchos and bureaucratic involvement in all these charges evidently are the evil and the result of more and more people ,now perhaps more than 1/3 of our 1.2 billion population joining the struggle.There are very patriotic leaders among them [If my intuition is proved right] who are equal  to guys like Che Guvera[Revolutionary leader of Cuba ,most revered by Malayalees].I saw in my recent trip to northern Kerala,the writings on the wall such as 'with out sacrifice we can not change the system'.Then I came across DYFI workers in full uniform, reminding me of our earlier 'ChaverPada'[Suicide Squads]under the Calicut Kings' Samuthiri's and the song I heard them sing was [In malayalam]'Marikkan njangalku manassilla',which if translated means, we don't want to die with out a fight,[or rather simple death is not the answer] knowing the Indian history we know it is in their blood to fight for righteousness,if you take 9/10 people among them, will happily lay down their lives for our country with a whistle in their lips,but not before they make all those corrupt anti social elements punished.

Our History tells of the real warriors of Malabar,who just would not take defeat rather, would die taking as many lives with them of the enemies. Europeans entry in India actually came with hands of friendship [To cunningly cheat later with firearms] and our people unlike the Chinese are mostly trusting in nature ,that was our weakness, also they would die for friendship is another part and truth of our history. The young faces I saw was of determination to do or die.

The warning shot has been fired ,the movement has begun,actions will follow soon,they can not be suppressed by power,the only way is to handle them with kid gloves or I am sure in my mind ,our rulers might be making the greatest blunder in our history ,to try & use our force such as army,navy or air-force to suppress the masses who are patriots demanding justice.

Truth behind domestic violence against women.


Bangalore: The uproar for justice for the women in India has taken the streets of the country and this has brought the matter related to violence against women at domestic level to the forefront. As per a recent survey G-20, India has been ranked as the worst place to be a woman. The lives of many girls and women in India are constently subjected to violence which includes female foeticide, sexual harassment, domestic violence and gender inequality, which is the countries stark reality. However the domestic violence in India and worldwide is majorly underreported when surveyed or to the police, as reported by Sreeparna Ghosh for The Wall Street Journal.


As per the national survey the numbers on violence against women in the country draws a bleak picture. India records 8 percent of married women subjected to sexual violence like forced sex, whereas 31 percent of the married women have been physically abused with ‘less severe’ instances, like punching or slapping. The survey report shows 10 percent to have suffered ‘severe domestic violence’ like attack with a weapon or burning. 12 percent said that they suffered at least one physical injury as a result of the violence such as sprains, bruises, dislocation or burns, severe burns, broken bones or broken teeth and wounds.

Minority Govt of India taking decisions,even when majority opposes.

We saw a lot of hurried decisions taken by Indian Central government ,which could only be told to have technically passed in both houses,but the numbers garnered was not enough for such path braking decisions such as the investment allowed in Retail Trade,banking amendments made in such a hurry,an item only viewed among as a clipping in back pages.

We saw our Finance minister talking about the resilience which our Public sector Banks showed during the nosedive happened in the case of so many western bigwigs. He forgot conveniently his high pitch for the private players.Had he been given a free hand, he certainly would have diluted the govt shares in all public sector banks long back,now he is seen barking in such a manner in which our nationalized banks withstood the downturn only because of his policies,which in turn has resulted in the present crisis faced by our country ,our growth rate for the fist time in independent India has gone below 5% only due to the last 5 years of governance or non governance ,which was pathetic.the black money stashed away in tax havens have disappeared due to the blind eye shown by our leaders.Now those illicit funds are invested in  land and buildings,which are now booming due to the role of black money routed through foreign entities,by way of participatory notes none other than the people of Indian origin, mainly politicians and corporate bigwigs along with power brokers,they are flouting all norms of ownership of land in thousands of acres even in reserved forests,even after the UN has declared the western ghats as heritage areas to be protected.Each registrar offices in India has stories to tell of the illegal means of land ownership and buildings coming without any plan approval,in other words an approved plan for residential buildings are enough for them to make it in to a mall, I have seen it happening all over the country.These things can only be done with the connivance of ruling governments    

 We are actually paving way for the Western Retail Chains to enter our market and produce.The Capital will be enough to buy out our retailers.Soon they will control our Banking sector and all other fields such as Retail and whole sale market  ,they may take partners of Indian origin for covering as their masks and do business with remote control,when things go bad they will ditch their Indian partners to lick their wounds, while they will have a gala time in western cities. However,they may also take our vysyas lightly and later regret,because our vysas are even capable of outdoing the most cunning business people such as Jews on earth. That apart,the very fact that our parliament witnessed roaring oratory,against the FDI in retail also witnessed the same guys voting in favour, during ultimate voting in both houses.All could see through the govt.flouting decency and majority decision to manipulate the voting session with the help of crime agencies such as CBI and RAW , Income tax authorities and enforcement directorate  threatening raids and making them vote in favour. At no time in recent history has we witnessed such blatant show of power, to silence their opponents in the opposition. This according to me is, mass and macro looting of our resources by our politicians and foreign business tycoons.But in my mind I am sure, they will not succeed as the majority in our country has seen through the plots. The big sharks are about to fall very soon and their Waterloo is going to be India.
