100th BIRTHDAY OF BHAGATH SINGH.

This is really shameful act by our media. Except DD NEWS no one mentioned about the 100th birthday of Bhagath singh. one was busy with bipasha’s exclusive interview, other with sanjay’s bail, devanand’s romantic birthdays………

[I am extremely sorry to say this , august 24th was rajguru’s 100th birthday, since i don’t have any books about his life story i didn’t know that]

Leave them , let they deal with articles which increase their TRP. Bhagath singh born on september 27 1907 in a village called banga which now is in Pakistan’s layalpur district.

Here are some qoutes and a letter from bhagath for you :-
source:-bhagath
“I am a man and all that affects manking concerns me”
“The aim of life is no more to control mind, but to develop it harmoniously, not to achieve salvation here after, but to make the best use of it here below, and not to realise truth, beauty and good only in contemplation, but also in-the actual experience of daily life; social progress depends not upon the ennoblement of the few but on the enrichment democracy or universal brotherhod can be achieved only when there is an equality of opportunity of opportunity in the social, political and individual life.”

On the slogan of ‘Long Live Revolution’
Shri Ramanand Chaterji the editor of Modern Review, ridiculed the slogan of ‘Long Live Revolution’ through an editorial note and gave an entirly wrong interpretation. Bhagat Singh wrote a reply and handed it over to the trying megistrate to be sent to Modern Review. This was published in The Tribune of December 24, 1929. To THE EDITOR MODERN REVIEW You have in the December (1929) issue of your esteemed magazine, written a note under the caption “Long Live Revolution” and have pointed out the meaninglessness of this phrase. It would be impertinent on our part to try to refute or contradict the statement of such an old, experienced and renowned journalist as your noble self, for whom every enlightened Indian has profound admiration. Still we feel it our duty to explain what we desire to convey by the said phrase, as in a way it fell to our lot to give these “cries” a publicity in this country at this stage. We are not the originators of this cry. The same cry had been used in Russain revolutionary movement. Upton Sinclair, the well known socialist writer, has, in his recent novels Boston and Oil, used this cry through some of the anarchist revolutionary characters. The phrase never means that the sanguinary strife should ever continue, or that nothing should ever be stationary even for a short while. By long usage this cry achieves a significicance which may not be quite justifiable from the grammatical or the etymological point of view, but nevertheless we cannot abstract from that the association of ideas connected with that. All such shouts denote a general sense which is partly acquired and partly inherent in them. For instance, when we shout “Long Live Jatin Das”, we cannot and do not mean thereby that Das should Physically be alive. What we mean by that shout is that the noble ideal of his life, the indomitable spirit which enabled that great martyr to bear such untold suffering and to make the extreme sacrifice for that we may show the same unfailing courage in persuance of our ideal. It is that spirit that we allude to. Simiarly, one should not interpret the word “Revolution” in its literal sense. Various meanings and significances are attributed to this word, according to the interests of those who use or misuse it. For the established agencies of exploitation it conjures up a feeling of blood stained horror. To the revolutionaries it is a sacred phrase. We tried to clear in our statement before the Session Judge, Delhi, in our trial in the Assembly Bomb Case, what we mean by the word “Revolution” We stated therein that Revolution did not necessarily involve sanguinary strife. It was not a cult of bomb and pistol. They may sometimes be mere means for its achievement. No doubt they play a prominent part in some movements, but they do not – for that very reason -become one and the same thing. A rebellion is not a revolution. It may ultimately lead to that end. The sense in which the word Revolution is used in that phrase, is the spirit, the longing for a change for the better. The people generally get accustomed to the established order of things and begin to tremble at the very idea of a change. It is this lethargical spirit that needs be replaced by the revolutionary spirit. Otherwise degeneration gains the upper hand and the whole humanity is led stray by the reactionary forces. Such a state of affiars leads to stagnation and paralysis in human progress. The spirit of Revolution should always permeate the soul of humanity, so that the reactionary forces may not accumulate (strength) to check its eternal onward march. Old order should change, always and ever, yielding place to new, so that one “good” order may not corrupt the world. It is in this sense that we raise the shout “Long Live Revolution” Yours sincerely (Sd/-.) Bhagat Singh B. K. Dutt

VISHNU HAD VASECTOMY DONE TO STAY FOCUSSED ON CAUSE.

Abhijit Sathe,mumbai mirror.

The Naxal movement in Maharashtra has received a major jolt with the arrest of Vishnu alias Srinivasan alias Sreedhar, the police say. Vishnu and Vernon Gonsalves alias Vikram, the other suspected Naxalite who was arrested, was part of the six-member CPI (Maoist) state committee that supervised Naxalite activities in Maharashtra. Their arrest has weakened Police say Vernon Gonsalves was a top member of the Naxal state unit along with Vishnu the state committee considerably because Vishnu was the secretary (in the Naxal set-up, a secretary heads the committee) and in charge of all activities, including collection and dispersal of funds. Vishnu’s dossier prepared by the Anti-Naxalite Operations department has details of his background and personality. The early days Fifty-year-old Vishnu, a Tamilian Brahmin, was a student of Elphinstone College in the ’80s when he was attracted by the Naxalite movement because of its fight against exploitation of tribals. Dropping out of college, he joined the movement led by the People’s War Group (PWG) at the time. He was a staunch follower of PWG founder Kondapalli Seetaramaiah, and stayed loyal to the leader even after PWG broke into several factions. Rise to the top In his journey with the Naxal movement spanning over 30 years, Vishnu graduated from an ordinary member to state committee secretary and then member of the central committee of the movement. Among Naxal comrades, he is regarded as a ‘professional revolutionary’. So high is his dedication to the organisation that despite marrying a fellow Naxal member Neetu Hirani, Vishnu had a vasectomy done so as not be distracted from the ‘cause’.  “Vishnu chose not to have children as he wanted to be focused on the cause. Also, in Naxal organisations, the growth of an individual is largely dependent on his dedication to the cause,” ATS chief, K P Raghuvanshi told Mumbai Mirror. According to police sources, Vishnu’s wife Neetu looks after the activities of the organisation in Nashik district. Vishnu, they said, looks after the Naxal dalams (groups) active in Bhandara, Gondia and north Gadchiroli districts of Maharashtra and Balaghat district of Madhya Pradesh. Sources said his job was to provide strategic and tactical support to these groups, collect funds generated through extortion from Tendu contractors and utilise them for organisational activities. He is also the lone leader of the Naxal movement who always had an armed bodyguard accompanying him on his visits to tribal areas in eastern Maharashtra, ATS sources said. The 9mm pistol seized by the ATS from Vishnu’s house in Govandi two days ago is suspected to belong to his bodyguard, who is absconding. The Naxal crackdown The recent arrest of several top Naxal leaders is the result of a nationwide crackdown on CPI (Maoist) operatives that started last year after the Union Home Ministry in its dossier on the Naxal problem in the country found the situation serious and sent feelers to states to crack down on them. The Home Ministry report had followed a series of attacks by Naxals on state establishments in Bihar, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, Orissa, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh. A disintegrating Naxal force had recently consolidated its resources by coming together to form CPI (Maoists) with the merger of People’s War Group and Marxist Communist Centre and hit the state with a vengeance. At the time the Home Ministry report came, the CPI (Maoist) claimed it had ‘liberated’ 165 districts in the country.  The state in response got back with Anti-Naxal Operations. In a span of one-and-a-half years several leaders were either arrested or gunned down by the police.

SUBHASH

‘One individual may die for an idea; but that idea will, after his death, incarnate itself in a thousand lives. That is how the wheel of evolution moves on and the ideas and dreams of one nation are bequeathed to the next’

‘As soldiers, you will always have to cherish and live up to the three-ideals of faithfulness, duty and sacrifice. Soldiers who always remain faithful to their nation, who are always prepared to sacrifice their lives, are invincible.
If you, too, want to be invincible, engrave these three ideals in the innermost core of your hearts’

‘Give me blood and I shall give you freedom’

‘No real change in history has ever been acheived by discussions’

‘Jai Hind’.

Nepal Maoists quit government

The CPN (Maoist) has decided to quit the government as eight-party leaders failed to forge consensus on its demands.

Maoist ministers submitted their resignation to Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala as soon as the meeting of top leaders of four major ruling allies ended in a deadlock. The leaders had been engaged in hectic parleys from early morning today.

All four Maoist ministers – Krishna Bahadur Mahara, Dev Gurung, Hisila Yami and Khadga Bishwokarma – were at Baluwatar when the top leaders’ meeting was underway. They left Baluwatar at around 12:30 pm after submitting their resignation to the Prime Minister.

Leaders and intermediaries were engaged in bilateral and multilateral discussions since last couple of days in their attempt to convince the Maoist leaders not to announce departure from the coalition government.

PM Koirala has ‘rejected’ two key Maoist demands: announcement of republic before the polls and proportional representation-based election system.

The CPN-M is organising a mass meeting this afternoon at the Open Air Theatre from where it is announcing its exit from the government and the launching of nationwide protest movement.

GANESHOTSAVA – REVOUTIONARY STAGE TO ARRACK SHOP

Personally i don’t believe in god. But inspite of that i like lord Ganesha because he played an important role in the independence movement of our country. His participation in the movement was by the efforts of Lokamanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak.

During the rule of Peshwas Ganeshotsava was celebrated as an annual fest . After their downfall Ganeshotsava limited to household. Tilak thought that Ganeshotsava can be celebrated in a national level and it can be a stage for revolutionary movement. he brought Lord Ganapati from `house to public stage’.

Tilak compared this Ganeshotsava to Olympics of Greece. Olympic games increased the patriotism in Greece and so did the Ganeshotsava in India. As the meetings , stage and speeches were under the cover of RELIGION British hesitated to stop them. This helped the independence movement a lot.

Even after Independence the Ganeshotsava continued in a similar waybut unfortunately it has virtually moved to arrack shops and bars. A movement which played an important role in our Independence is now a festival of goondas, drinkers and small political leaders to show their `power’.

DEMOCRATIC VIOLENCE

Former chief minister was attacked, naxals took the responsibility.

police informant was killed in malnad , naxals took the responsibility.

But who is responsible for this? Is anyone ready to take the responsibility.

About 15 people died because the flyover collapsed in panjagutta area , the flyover was under construction was about to get ready for inaugaration in december of this year and before birth it died.

The flyover was constructed by Gammon India company [ they have iso:9001 certificate , their website says that and they are the only construction company with that certificate!], the flyover fell down just for 3 hours rain, the traffic was moving which indicates that the rain was not to a great extent to make the flyover to reach the ground.

Who will take responsibility of this? the construction company , the Engineers who aprroved their bills, the Politicians who always have a commission for these big constructions?

Naxals have violent attitudes in their principles, but what about people who always speak against violence ? Is this not a way of violence? Will the culprits get punished? Rare possibilities except for some months of suspension.

THINK TWICE.

use our soaps, it kills all the bacteria over your skin surface’ this is what most of the soap ads tell. But how safe are these soaps? Medical personell have to keep their hands very much clean because they do dressings , sutures the wound and due care should be taken that infection doesn’t spread from their hands. We use betadine or spirit for that purpose.
What if the soaps that is used by general population removes all the bacteria? is it safe?

Remember that many of the bacteria on our skin surface are ` commensals’ i.e.., they donot cause any harm to us rather they prevent the growth of certain disease causing bacteria. this happens by the fact that cammensals donot give space for the harmful bacteria. These cammensals are harmful only when the immune status of the person falls as occurs in hiv infection and in patients getting treatment for cancer on immunosupressive agents.

To understand the above concept here is a simple example – Most of you have taken antibiotics for fever , sore throat, running nose etc. Atleast some of you might have experienced loose stools after taking the antibiotice, why this happens? the oral antibiotics kill the commensals of the gut so that the harmful bacteria becomes active and cause diarrhoea in some. Nowadays some antibiotics also contain ` lactobacillus’ , a commensal organism.

Think twice before using these soaps.
