I was reading some article on Jammu agitation and came across this video . Video is on Kashmiri Pandit and there plight , How secular Indian  government helped Kashmiri when they were butchered and How “religion of peace” helped in killing and driving out people from there home.Fact of the matter is people of India is kept hostage by a community who have arm twisted the country and government instead of using iron hand has tow down to there each and every wishes.

Why is it that when people of Kashmir ask every time government bends backward to grant there wish but when it comes to people of Jammu or any other state ask something once in lifetime they hardly listens. Happens only in India .

If you are wondering what is all the fuss about Amarnath yatra then read this blog by Ramesh where he has compared Haj yatra vs Amarnath and you will be astonished how “secular” India helps one community over other . There is one community who complains a lot about  treatment they receive, about injustice they have received in various cases but gets 300- 400 crore as subsidy so that they can visit there God. I am not sure how many countries in the world gives such subsidy  in the name of God even non secular countries don’t give such subsidy .I am not against people visiting God but state sponsor pilgrime is not digestable.

We are a country where  million people lives below the poverty line and cant afford food , we are country were we are getting blast every other day helped to a large extent by the community getting all the dollies , we are country were police force is grossly underequipped to fight against terrorism , we are a country were cases are pending in the court due to lack of judges so are such luxuries justified for relegious cause ?

What does tax payers like me should read into this , that we are working hard so that “secular” Government help some people perform there relegious duty , it would be great if goverment gets there priority right , this is shame and it is time that tax payers stand up and ask Goverment to get there priorty right and  and not let God come betweel food and security.

Today I got up with news that Ahmedabad is rocked with 17 blast , there might be more as news is still coming in and this has happened just one day after blast in Bangalore. I am gutted and not sure what to write. True to there form our politicians has started blaming each other , center and state has started hurling blame. In my views it is the government who have failed us Shiv Raj Patil and this government should go and hang themselves they have failed to make laws . If this government can bail out farmers with $15 billion package then why cant they modernize laws and police forces , current laws as it stands definitely doesn’t suffice . Here is video report.

Last few days in Mumbai has shown what is happening in major cities in India be it B’lore , Chennai , Delhi an Insider vs Outsider debate . Part of some issues raised are true that there is so much influx that resources in these cities are getting constraints but who is to be blamed ?

Here is my story I was born and brought up in MP did all of my schooling engineering there and then moved to B’lore for my master a place some 2000+ KM away from my home town , why did I moved because there were not much job opportunity in MP and only 1-2 good MTech program compared to what I was offered in B’lore. Now if an engineer has to move that much then one can understand the plight of majority of people who hardly had chance to complete there primary education.

Same is happening everywhere we have some cities like Mumbai , B’lore , Chennai , Delhi , Hyderabad which are growing and offering way better prospects , inviting people and in the process crumbling , so what is the solution ?

Goverment should develop more cities , give incentives to businesses for setting shops in small cities like Mysore , Nagpur . Give incentives to farmers so that they stay put in there villages otherwise what is happening in Mumbai might happen in all metros

With Sensex and Economy rising it should all be well with the country but no !! 25000 landless people had to walk 340 Km to make there voice heard , it is really sad for the country and the government that people had to resort to such extent for there basic rights. On top of it in the end what had people got … assurance of a committee headed by PM to look into there grievances.

Opposition which should be raising voice on behalf of these people is all to occupied on N-Deal.
