INDIA SUMMARIZED

OUR Muslim brethren, time and again, are trying to justify the cow-slaughter by invoking the dictation of Allah in the Holy Koran. Instead of condemning this mischievous propaganda, some Muslims are supporting it and advance the argument. “If Hindus can take goat-meat, then why should they hate taking beef; flesh is flesh, anyway.” No doubt, flesh is flesh, why then, do they get irritated by hearing the name of a pig and start murmuring Lahaul Vilaquate. A full chapter of the Koran deals with cow protection. There is not even a single sentence in the whole holy Koran, which could be interpreting an order slaying of cows. Instead of that the Koran clearly and strictly forbidding cows or any milch animal. On the occasion of Ed-ul-Zuha, they only sacrifice a goat or a lamb, while in India, on that day a large number of cows are sacrificed by the Muslims. Is it to follow the teachings of Koran? “Name: Why the name Al-Baqarah? “Al-Baqarah (the cow) has been so named from the story of the ...

CORRUPTION is like a cancer which eats up the political body of the country. It sucks the blood of the country and ultimately reduces it to bankruptcy. The corruption could be classified into two categories: 1.direct and, 2. indirect. The work of the common men is not done unless they grease the palm of the concerned official, otherwise there is none to care them and obvious to that so many sections and a long series of ifs and buts and so on and so forth. In the second category, the people pay bribe indirectly to the corrupt bureaucrats and dishonest politicians, who commit frauds and forgeries, scams and scandals in their department by misusing their power. They loot their own country and secretly deposit their black money in foreign banks in Switzerland and Sweden etc. During the last fifty-nine years since Independence, there have been scams and scandals worth Rs three lakh crores in India including the provinces and municipal corporations. During the two months of January and Fe...

PROFILE SINCE the Indian films came into existence, so many film distributors,producers and directors came and will come on the scene but nobody knows that under which circumstances they have to survive whenever any film is flopped. There are some to survive while majority of them sunk never to come out. Slowly but steadily, some of the household names like Gemini, AVM, Prasad Productions and V Shantaram and many others are losing their names somewhere in the storm. Moreso, the Motion Picture Association of Delhi or Bombay never to dare to remember at least the names of Billimoria, Manak Chand, Jain, and Sardari Lal etc who sacrificed their everything to establish the film distribution in Delhi. Among these distributors elite the name of Magan Behari Lal Nigam of Premier Pictures can't be ignored. MAGAN BEHARI LAL NIGAM, a name to reckon with in the field of the film distribution. He ran his Premier Pictures, one of the leading film distribution concern till 1955, in partners...

INDIA FROM SONE KI CHIDIYA TO SCAMS SINCE time immemorial, Indiraprastha that is Bharat now India was known for its heritage, civilization, and honesty that is why it was called as Sone Ki Chidiya but after Independence in 1947, it was known as Krishipradhan Desh. With the passage of time and colour and above all the political flavour turned that Bharat into Scam and scandal pradhan desh. What sacrifices were given then rulers to maintain the position of Sone Ki Chidiya but due to change of regime from one hand to another in 1947 after getting Independence our country was known as Krishi pradhan Desh all over the globe but see the ill-fate of that Krishi pradhan Desh that to meet our required cereals we are using imported cereals. Anyway, it could be plead that the rise in population our farmers are unable to produce as much of cereals. The reason is that thousands of villages are converted into cities or the memorials of politicians. Apart from other scams and scandals, that day is...

A warm kiss (lips) between Bicon chief Kiran Majumdar and Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhra Raje on November 29,2006, refreshing many old memories of kissing in the mind. They are either from political or film fields. Kiss has always been in hot-news. If you have done some thing good, media will not highlight, no reporter or a cameraman will run or interview him or her. So perhaps since times immemorial media runs before such baseless news not towards nation-building news. Though it is called the mirror of the society as well as of the nation but just to have their meal the attention is diverted from the their motive of the media, established for. And it proved time and again. During 1950s, a very hot kiss between Devika Rani and Himanshu Roy was in the new for a long time; then perhaps in the beginning of 1960 when Queen Elizabeth visited India, then Prime Minister Pt Jawaharlal Nehru while receiving her at the airport had Kissed her hand, bending his knees up and down. In 197...

SEEING the unprecedented rush for pakoras at Subhash Chowk, Sabarmati, I too was tempted to talk to the pakora-sellers, who were criminals ealier and had been sentenced to 20-year of confinement. This reminded me of what film-maker, Premji, had tried yo convey through his Meena Kumari and Rajesh Khanna starrer film Dushman in the 1980s. Criminals were very polite and well mannered. When asked if they were not tempted to run away and escape as they worked in the open roadside, they replied simply “No, because we are not professional criminals but under duress we committed the crime.” In a very smiling manner one of the prisoners said that after working just as one returns to his house, similarly “we return to Tihar Jail with our sales”. The daily sales from them produce amounts to about Rs 20,000, and the whole amount is deposited in the Welfare Fund for Jails because except oil and LPG, everything is produced by our inmates in Jail. When questioned on how the idea to sell pakoras...
