The JNU issue.

The more I read about it, the more I realize that it is a "grey" issue and not just black and white. I assume you are already aware of the obvious popular facts.

People need to really understand that why many Kashmiris(mostly Muslims) would actually have an emotional touch with Afzal Guru and would consider him as a "martyr". First because he is Kashmiri and he is a victim of an "unjust" judicial killing punishment. Kashmiris usually believe that India is largely unjust to them and don't let them live with proper conditions.


"Unjust"?


 Up to what I came to know there were very less evidences for Afzal being a part of the attack. Supreme Court literally stated that Afzal needs to be hanged to "satisfy the collective conscience of Indians" So, loosely it means this- Here, we have a person who seems to be involved with circumstantial evidence. There is a lot of outrage in the public. Let's kill him so we could be relieved. Afzal first confessed his crime. But ofcourse he later wrote in a letter to his advocate that he was forced to confess because his relatives were claimed to be held captive and he was tortured(including electrocuting his private parts).


Now, there are good number of reasons to believe that Supreme Court ordered a death sentence not merely for mitigating the issue. Afzal was hanged in 2013 and the attack took place in 2001. This is so much time. A time when a person can be freed if found not guilty enough. Guru tried every, and I repeat every provision given to him for mercy. The President Pranab Mukherjee rejected his mercy application after giving it a fairly large amount of time to consider reducing a punishment for somebody who has a death sentence against less evidence available. 80 witnesses were for prosecution, to state facts.


Very little is known to Indians about the conditions in Kashmir. Indian Army literally(is it necessary?) messes with civilians, openly insulting them with profanity, checking them for weapons continously. There have been reports for Security guards raping several women and murdering many civilians in either delusion of them being militants, or to suppress any ongoing violent protest. Kashmiris are misbehaved with. Although, a "proud Indian" would ofcourse say " Kashmir is part of India since 65 years" and "Kashmiris would be never satisfied with anything India does" but this hasn't changed anything since all the time. There were very violent protests earlier but now they are fairly reduced. But the Indian Government really does not seems to be excited about improving the condition of Kashmiris. But that raises an important question, how could they?


Obviously, Pakistan is pressing hard to incite protests so that it could force India to enter a negotiation. It has been verified that many protests were avcually motivated and funded by Pakistan. I am not saying talks in air, there. Pakistani fucktards also use unscrupulous tactics of spreading false lies about the abuses by Indian Army(which is not cleaned either as stated earlier), and at the least spreads it  with fabricated misleading figures to increase the resentment among the people. Claims were of "thousands" but CBI reports it 200(The number of innocents killed by Indian military). Now, one cannot imagine the number of innocents killed by militants in Kashmir. The number is just unthinkable for this period of time. The militant separatists are very much offically Islamic.And from what I know about the religion is that any Islamic militant groups should be taken very very seriously. Not that other religiously motivated groups aren't violent, but Islamic forces actually mixes politics with their religion. For the fundamentalists, no country is a "nation" if it does not follow Sharia law. They don't even respect the national anthem. They spread lies to their children that the song is "anti-Islam" and you might have heard about the recent incident that a teacher was beaten because he tried to implement singing National Anthem every morning. When Islamic "scholars" were called on a news debate, they said "Which religious place gets national anthem in their schedule?" One side they want to consider a stupid Madrasa trained children to be called as "educated" and on the other side, they speak out this bullshit which sounds really terrifying to me.


 And again they would have mostly an innocent destructive and absolutely non-progressive attitude towards building a society. Innocent because they really believe the shit they are talking about. The so called "leaders" can very well brain wash the public in the name of religion. Mughals did it, they used their religion as an excuse for their political agenda to expand their empire. Mohammed did it. There are several Muslims who actually believe that Osama is really a nice person and is helping the society. If this does not convince you for my concern, I don't know what will. You are free to call me a "Muslim hater" or "Islamophobic".


Kashmiri pandits want to unite with India. Many Kashmiris are confused as to how to get out of this. Idiots with a hidden agenda and benefit to "promote Islamis culture" favor going with Pakistan(which any sane individual would laugh at) and majority wants freedom. Although Kashmiris are really smart and they would immediately enter in alliance with a country to forward their economic growth and I doubt that it is really any good political move, especially if you Pakistan as your neighbor and you are well, a poor state.


Now, summing this up, repeated incites by Pakistan, a public outrage over the Indian Army, Islamic brain wash, lack of attempts by Indian Government to improve the condition are the main reasons why Kashmiris are "against" India. 10 Kashmiris went to JNU and made "antinational" statements. A JNU student on quora now says that the terms like "bharat ke tukde hazaar", and "azaadi" means in different context. This linguistic gymnastics which he is playing should be handled with skepticism. Although I may accept that to Kashmiris, "India" is the people in uniforms who at worst, abuses them. If we believe in reports, it was the Kashmiris who raised those slogans and not JNU students themselves, BUT if you are organizing the meeting(which was against an initial permission), you ARE responsible for whatever happens there. You are saying me that it wasn't decided before hand? Umar Khalid was preparing this so called protest in various places since months. Another point to consider.


I do understand free speech, I understand that killing of Guru was probably against human rights but certain slogans were clearly anti national. Which should not be chanted and which is something you should be held responsible for.

Nepal Earthquakes and Indian Media.

A Nepali Friend of Mine-"I pity you."
Me-"Eh? Why?"
Friend-"That's because you had been tolerating your media since years when we couldn't even for a                   week."

The conversation is just as shameful as any conversation can get.

 An earthquake of 7.9 Richter scale hit Nepal. It's the magnitude which can destroy a civilization and what's more horrifying is the fact that it really did. Some were busy dealing with there customers in their shops, some were roaming out in the markets, some were having a sweet nap on their bed, which was only then it happened which took away lives of many. The pain, we know of our Nepali brothers and sisters is simply unimaginable. I can't really empathize with them as I don't know what it is like to lose your loved ones in a natural or well, absolutely sudden disaster, but I am sure it hurts.

It hurts to have your only hope die. It hurts to see your son/husband in a cloth enveloped in a rectangular box after devoting entire life to him. It hurts to realize that the one you loved the most is never going to come back to you. Some might be living a happy life with his girlfriend. Some must be already married and their kids might be waiting for their daddy who left driving to the office to come back home and bring them gifts as he daily promises to. Some might be having a old mother who now have no one to care for.

Amidst this chaos, what we saw is an absolute quick help from India. Actually the first flight which went for rescue and to provide aid was even before the Nepal officials globally pursued for help. What's even more spectacular that for the first time ever, it was seen that our Indian government was on literally a "mission" and worked like an entire complete team.


10 NDRF(National Disaster Response Force) teams were dispatched. Their code name for the operation was "Operation Maitri." Indian Army sent a 2-star officer Major General JS Sandhu to oversee the Indian rescue efforts. Army also sent a Rapid Aero Medical team in Kathmandu. Indian Airforce sent two MI-17 choppers, two C-17 Globemaster,one C-130J Super Hercules,and one IL-76 on rescue operation. IAF personnel rescued many Indians stranded in Nepal. Indian Embassy issued emergency helpline numbers. The debris flows in to the water and make it poisonous hence Suresh Prabhu, the present Rail minister  sent 1 lakh Rail Neer bottles. Further, the ministry runs 2 Special Trains between Janakpur in Nepal & JaiNagar in INDIA for Rescue and Relief Operation. Power Minister Piyush Goyal offered to send technicians and engineers to restore Power Grid at Nepal. All calls made from BSNL to Nepal were charged at local fees for 3 days. 


Is this not looking like a whole "team" with several working sectors working together to accmplish a mission? And who can forget that famous Sushma Swaraj's response to a tweet who asked help for finding her father in Nepal?

Many non-governmental organizations too were ready for help, especially telecom companies. Many volunteers offered help to Nepal. Sikh bodies offered "langar" to the victims. Also Baba Ramdev was in Nepal at that time. Instead of running to safety, he chose to stay back there and help the victims. His volunteers donated blood, offered food, drinking water and shelter in his Yoga shibir tent. His organization is planning to adopt all the children turned orphans in the earthquake.

With all this being said, there was yet another body of Indian origin which was working "actively". Well this unnatural pun struck me in a very natural way.

Indian Media.

At the first day, twitter is trending with hashtags :Thank You PM" and "Thank You India, two days later, the trend changed to "GoHomeIndianMedia."(The number was more than 100,000.)

Why?

Their aggressive presence all over the country and making a coverage of the incident, what it looked  like a biased one. Their attitude was looking patriotic when they only seemed to cover the help done by Indian relief forces but which was kind of digestable. Every country has their own media which obviously will show cast the news related to their own-selves. But what was more to come was some extremely intolerable  behavior and insensitive inhumane actions which pissed off the masses to a great extent and let them go with this twitter trend. Their titles of the "exclusive" shows were very distracting with a huge Modi poster aside some small girls crying with a quote saying, "Tere dukh ab mere". I mean seriously, what the?

Reportedly, a large number of Media personnel occupied the space in Indian rescue helicopters. Or to frame it differently, they occupied a seat where bag full of food could be placed. They occupied a place where one more victim could be rescued. If we were to follow a tweet from a Nepali witness, 5-7 media people were in each IAF rescue helicopter.

Now seriously, what was the point for every Indian channel to go and capture the incident? Was there a competition which was being held? Even local state news channels went there to report. Why were they all hell bent on increasing their TRP's on somebody's mourning's?

The most absurd thing was to observe them reporting about places where Indian relief still hasn't
reached. Ohh, come on, If you can reach places where Indian aid still hasn't reached yet, can't you just yourselves provide aid to them? You won't believe this, the media personnel actually went on car by road when the tremors were still occurring. What was all the fuss about everyone going to report the incident? Only if they could be as brave for reporting what's true and authentic.

The way they were reporting was as if the victims weren't real people at all and were shooting an intense drama about how tough life is after an earthquake. We know the people are badly hurt there, we know that many are still stuck beneath buildings, we know that many of them lost their family members in the incident but making it as an over-hyped "show"? Adding ridiculous animations and crying imagery backed by extraordinary sound effects isn't something tolerable. People needed your help, not your extraordinary video editing skills. They broadcasted about how people in Nepal were fighting for foods, but they couldn't carry some by themselves. Are you not human before a media person?

Is asking a woman who lost her only child in the earth quake, "how do you feel?" repeatedly is reporting? There are some more incidents which seriously make us go "facepalm". 

1)They used touching photos to portray the Nepal earthquake which were not real. Many original photo owners appeared and alleged that they were actually, from a different incident(the famous photo from the Mediterranean Sea incident is an excellent example) which Indian media shamelessly claimed to be the 2015 earthquake's.

2) The Indian Reporters shouted and shared physical blows with Indian army men when they tried to stop them from entering "Restricted areas". Reports even claim that they even fought with Nepal security upon being asked merely their ID-cards at Pokhra airport. "Who are you to stop us?", thus only adding hindrances to the relief team. 

3) They don't miss any opportunity to gather views on their own channel. And we all know criticizing against Pakistan? Well the views just got quadrupled. One such incident was them reporting and making a "sensationalist" news about Pakistan sending beef to the victims and thereby,according to them, hurting the sentiments of Nepali nationalists. Look who's talking. Later on, it got revealed that it was a propaganda brain stormed by them. It was not actually beef, but packets of "beef masala" and the product was just barely a mixture of ingredients that makes the meat tasty. Pakistan just sent whatever they had in their emergency relief programs.What were Indian media expecting Pakistan to do? To wait for their companies to manufacture food packets with vegetarian labels on them in this emergency? Also, they didn't mention anything about those hundreds of tents which well, Paksitan provided.

4) A friend of mine who is an eye witness to the very incident says, "They went to the spot where one building had collapsed. They clicked four pictures from the different angles of the same building and reported four buildings to have fallen." How stupid. 

5) Their over hyped portrayal. Instead of informing which part received worse tremors(there were exceptions), they were as if Nepal had been deprived from the existence already. If they had a chance, they would even remove the name from the globe and hold a panel discussion on it. Thankfully, conditions have started to recover. Water and electricity is back. There is no infections and several shops have opened up.

Here is an hilarious take of a Quora user on their attitude-

"
Reporter : what did you do after you felt the tremors ?
Victim : I started running out. (Obviously no one would dance Gangnam style after feeling the tremors)
Reporter : Did you get hurt?

Victim : Yes, a lot. ( Reporter, can't you see his bleeding nose? )
Reporter :  where are you going right now?Victim : I am going to hospital. ( No, he is going to Nokia showroom with his bleeding nose to buy  Nokia 2323 which has torch and FM )      "





The Indian media is on the pedastal that no one probably can ever limit them. Whatever they do is right, whatever they report is right, whatever the measures they adopt are right. This arrogant attitude of somebody is very questionable. One whose job was to merely report things is now actually forming their own opinions about it. 

The race to highest TRP never stops. It had already shattered dreams of many, destroyed many's deserved fame.What is required is proper education. But aren't the reporters already educated? But I think, this is not enough. What is still left is to educate them how to report different issues. Yeah there is a difference in every kind of incidents and media personnel needs to consider the sensitivity of the fact too.It's the time where the ever questioning Indian Media to introspect their own selves, reform their rules and policies, try to act in a more responsible way and come back as a better "media".



On a side note, the greatest irony was that this twitter trend thrived on the World Press day.

An Indian student was denied an internship in Germany and the reason will literally put all Indians to shame

Rape is a global issue. Its one of the most evil thing which can be imagined from a living person(both male and female). In India, rape is a serious concern which is being taken care of by the Indian penal system and legal code. But I will have to say one thing, not in any misleading manner which it would suppose to be, there are countries in a "higher ranked" position if you would make a list of the countries across the globe according to their rape-rates. I agree that even one rape in something which  is completely not tolerable.

Now, why am I all of a sudden talking about rape stats?

If we were to believe a quora thread, an Indian student was turned down for an internship offer in Germany because he belonged to "India" or let me correct myself, he belonged to the "land of rapists". Here's how the story goes by,















Now, "belonging to a country with a decent track record of rapes" is a very strange, immoral, odd, prejudiced, shitty, generalized and completely cheap worthless reason to put down an internship application. Let's first look on the matter as a whole.

The Indian student, obviously was taken aback by receiving this mail, he replied to the professor and blamed her for generalizing Indian men, to which the "drunk"(I will literally assume her to be, you know because most of the German women drink, justice maybe?) professor replied like this,




Now looking up the rape statistics, according to a site, nationmaster Germany ranks 43 globally according to number of rapes committed per 100,000 citizens,



And where does India stands?

 
Now, to consider this fact this incident is even more illogical than wearing a deo to attract girls.
But, this statistics does not include the unreported cases, inclusive of which, I believe India will rank "higher", which it actually does according to another site, wonderslist.com.


Its very sad for us to have this kind of "ranking" and stats especially when we talk about considering rape as a global issue and welcome steps to remove it.

But at the same time, do German men don't rape? Do this professor doesn't also invite male students from other countries which are ranked in a position similar to India when it comes to rape statistics? Or this special type of treatment dressed with such hurtful words is reserved only for Indians?


Now let's try develop a positive side of this story. Suppose a German prof decides to go on a "crusaaadee" to eradicate rape from a country full of closed-minded people and none other than rapists. She decides to teach we Indians a lesson so that our legal system finally wakes up and takes up some legitimate action. But, dear prof Annette Beck Sickinger, all what you got up with was this? To turn down a possible prospective internship offer? I pity you.

Moreover, now along with the academic constraints, this prof have made a notable contribution to the parameters for judging an application and that is "whether the applicant is male and belongs to India or not". As luck would have it, I have not heard of a single incident about any Indian intern raping his fellow/co-worker abroad. Moreover, how could you even think of this way where your own society is ful of such incidents? Is it not your responsibity to work against it? Is turning down internship offer from prospect students a way to do that? Or are you just using your powers to hamper the fame of India? Indian students apply to you because they think that you will help them in their area of interst/field and will help them shape their future, but you have a pretty messed up brain quite there! Forget about others, your own future looks dark to me now.


On hearing the news, the German ambassador to India Michael Steiner gave an ear-sounding reply to the prof, here it is-




Yeah, its very disheartening, dis appealing and depressing for all of the Indian men who work for women empowerment in India and are active supporters and contributors for the movement across the world.

Also, I seriously recommend German universities, if they don't have it, to run a course on "critical thinking". No, not for students, but for the professors first!

After reading the above answer, And when Huffington Post got in touch with the professor, she changed her stance, mentioning that her lab was full. "I apologize if this caused any misunderstanding, but the e-Mail was taken out of the context. However my lab is full and I currently cannot take any student. This led to an unpleasant discussion with one of the Indian student.” she said.

This is again yet another example of her stupidity. As she want this to be looked as, this whole incident was taken "out of context" and the mails she sent was because her laboratory is full. My sides are in the orbit right now. If it was really the reason professor, how on this earth you justified your mails?

Enough is enough. We really need to push this matter. 

Also, one more thing. Lately, I had been reading a lot about american christian societies gathering "funds" for relief for sexually assaulted females in India. Again, I am in no sense supporting this, or am happy about this, but US has been consistently ranking top on the rape statistics. Top as in rank-1. 

Why on this earth is everyone so much concerned about the pathetic condition about the females in India. Yeah, its  a good thing, but why on this earth is no concrete action taken by them? Just merely talking about the issue will do? Moreover, isn't your country TOO is contaminated? A lot of money has been collected by the name for "affected females in India" Now the question arises is,

WHERE THE HELL IS THE MONEY?
WHAT IS THE POINT OF A CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY FROM A COUNTRY HAVING HIGHEST NUMBER OF RAPES IN THE ENTIRE WORLD TO COLLECT FUNDS FOR WOMEN IN A SEPARATE COUNTRY?
Don't they need to collect money for their own country? 
No. I will tell you why, because this all fuss is created in order to load in money by using the name of India. As India is very famous for such issues and people tend to "sympathize" for our country.

We don't need you. We need don't need private funds collected by defaming our country. We don't need to study under a professor who prejudices an applicant on basis of the country he belongs to and ofcourse, his gender.  

Please share what you think about this matter.

The AIB Knockout is DOWN!!




I will have to really say thanks all those Samaritans who downloaded the video into their devices because the videos are no longer available!


Whose roast it was? Arjun Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Karan Johar and the panelists THEMSELVES! Who got offended? Our politicians and "aam janta". The very good "aam janta" who finds it OKAY to be profane in their daily life, even Marriage Functions aka in PUBLIC but  surely find the same abusive content which were raised after too many warnings and that too for charity to be offensive as hell. Bloody Double standards!

Philosophers I love- Lao Tzu
