India’s Bangladesh Headache.

Posted on by veeskitchen

Why should the head of an Islamic state seek asylum in India, the Hindu country. Why couldn’t Sheikh Hasina flee to Pakistan or Saudi. What made Dalai Lama seek asylum in India. What made the Jews and Zoroastrians feel safe in India. That is the beauty of Sanathana Dharma, Hinduism, that eschews violence and adharma. Bharat is a sanctuary to all those repressed and on the run.

****************************

How to push back the waves and waves of immigrants battering down the border. The spillover to India is going to have an immediate impact on our border states. Hindus are turning into minority in the seven sister eastern states of India with illegal Bangladeshi immigrants legalizing their residency and taking over villages. Its against the natural setting of predominantly Hindu India. The Rohingya muslims have made Kashmir their home. These disturbing factors are going to work against the majority Hindu state very soon as the muslim population in India thanks to unchecked refugee inflow is going to tip the already precariously balanced apple cart. In the state of Kerala we may be having a situation. Hindus have been reduced to mere 33% or even less and without family planning, the Kerala muslim population seems to have exploded. Wherever the native population has to dip, it is not going to bring in good news. The democracy of India in incumbent upon the demography of India. Hindus continue to have one or two kids maximum. Funny I don’t think that the idea of installation of Bhairava temples in the borders of India is strange at all, as suggested by a renowned Tantrik. With age you believe 100% in holistic ways to find remedy for situations including political and defence matters. With the Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina in India seeking asylum (hopefully on her way to UK), expect some 1.3 crore Bangladeshi Hindus to be hunted down by violent mobs. Any trigger in their political system, the Bangladeshi Hindus face instant backlash – with the women raped and the men murdered in the cold blood. Even temples get demolished and the temple priests hacked to death. The priests are the chief targets. All this for what? India investing heavily in Bangladesh. Bangladeshis given medical visas to get subsidized cataract surgery to cancer treatment in India. Our hospitals are teeming with their patients.

What kind of a state is that the head of the state must flee for life. This is not how masses in mature democracies conduct their affairs. Mass public looting looks scary. Most Islamic countries are societies where jungle laws prevail and the mob unrest is allowed to progress to extreme levels of even ousting the head of the state. Protests may be viewed legal so far as they remain peaceful and don’t turn violent causing damage to lives and public property. Arson is simply inadmissible. There seems to be a collapse of law and order in Bangladesh.

Had this conversation with a Zara shop girl. I said the quality of Zara is not what it used to be. The Filipino girl who was billing, whose face I don’t remember, said that is because the denim is now from Bangladesh NOT India and even the t shirts and tops were. To cut costs Zara moved factory to Bangladesh as India is expensive. Result: quality compromise. This is very much apparent in last few years. For a fact I shop for brands only when there is a sale. Even Zara fittings have gone haywire.

Why can’t nations take care of themselves and not disturb other societies. India needs to seal her borders and if possible install a barbed wire fence. This is where I can appreciate Trump! It is also time to check the sops offered to Bangladeshi citizens in India while our own are poor. Modi government must remember: whatever you do to this kind of society is WASTED. It will be naive of India to expect gratitude or understanding from Bangladesh or Maldives because they are not Hindus. At the end of the day they will belong with the Umma. In Tamil we say ‘vizhalukku iraitha neer.’ If Tamil nadu once upon a time had Srilankan refugees, they were all Hindus and they were very eager to get back to the island nation once things cooled down. Every single one of them has left the Indian soil. That is it about Hindus. While we can empathize with Bangladeshi Hindus whose ancestors have faced worst and violent brutality of the masses, India cannot take on 1.3 crore of them. Plus in the garb of the Hindus it will be mostly the Bangladeshi muslims who will be sneaking in.

This is just the first acid test. SEcond test will be when Pakistan may break up (eventually). That is going to be the defining moment for India. The breakup of Pakistan with refugees knocking at our doors could threaten us with a breakup as well. Guess in one of my posts I have expressed this concern of just not me but most Indians. India is sandwiched between two very violent and bloody and poor and backward Islamic nations. Its going to consume every single ounce of our nerves to plan and be ready for such a situation. I hope the country will be then in good hands like Modi’s. If a rat like Rahul Gandhi must be in charge, then forget Bharat Matha. What the mugals could not do, what the British could not do – this maniac will do ushering in the death of India and extinction of Hindus with his cunning and ulteriorly motivated stewardship.

Who can change destiny. I believe even nations have destiny. From since I read the book ‘Sapiens’ by Yuvah Noah Harari, the best way out of Hindus is to go extinct like the Parsis than live in a world run by ….

Both Kamala and Usha have their roots in Chennai, India.

Posted on by veeskitchen

Kamala Harris and Usha Vance both have their roots in my hometown Chennai, India. I can give this to them being a south Indian woman myself 😀 : They must have substance! Its American politics so its alien subject for me. Another Indian origin man with roots in south India Vivek Ramaswamy was also in the fray but bowed out. The three have not reached this level in the US without merit. Kudos to the Indian American community! Recently Elon Musk heaped praise on Indian origin engineer Ashok Elluswamy for being the reason behind auto pilot innovations in Tesla. Way to go! Another Indian origin NASA astronomer Sunita Williams is caught up in trouble in the space. Let us hope and pray she lands safe.

Wokeism: What happened to Elon Musk’s son/daughter.

Posted on by veeskitchen

Wokeism is the rage of the day. Overhyped. I can’t look at it in one dimension. Those who have suffered persecution for centuries/generations will know. But taking it to extremes is a reason for worry. As Rajiv Malhotra discusses in his channel, this issue of taking wokeism too far like for instance when it comes to gender identity and therefore rendering the sexual orientation irrelevant, we may be treading into very dangerous territory. In fact, we may be going right against nature and in particular biology. Chemotherapy destroys the good and the bad cells in cancer patients. Wokeism is something like that. However with the bad, we cannot afford the good to be swiped down in real world we live in. You cannot nullify all that has happened up until today. That can only take us back to square one. However the racial and religious grounds remain tense global matters. In India we have lefties with radical views. Everything must have an anti theory for them. We are looking at a ‘free for all’ scenario – dope, booze and sex without censorship. To an extent we all are for equitable social justice. But history cannot be undone. Transgenders are recognized as third sex even in India and every application form for university or employment or banking or even train/flight booking gives the third sex option for choice. But parents do have a legal hold and say on their children until they turn 21. Losing an adult child can be painful. I am not a big fan of Elon Musk but in this one case, my sympathies are with him. May be someday there will be truce. For a brief phase, estrangement between parents and kids can happen. This is not unusual, rather part of the growth process for the teens. And this is not a permanent status in one’s life. Its my reckoning that Musk takes it as a personal affront that his son should choose to become a woman. America seems to be trendsetter in every field: from silicon breast implants and egg donations to surrogacy, sex change surgeries and all, and once you go down this lane, there can be no end in sight.

Surrogacy must be reserved for those who cannot medically conceive a fetus: not for those who are physically capable. You see even the Bollywood stars like SRK, Aamir Khan etc., going for surrogacy to have not their first but third, fourth kids. Tamil actress Nayanthara in perfect physical shape and fertile age BYPASSED LAWS and had twin boys by surrogacy. Meanwhile, govt of India preferred to look else where. When values are trodden upon for material/business reasons, when a mother would not even want to carry her biological children in her womb so as to sell her body without disfigurement to make more money, then what is there left in that society to hope for? I wouldn’t say India is any better than Europe of US. My autowala used to say, ‘amma you don’t look for these things. you keep searching for any hidden temple on the way! that is why you are missing what is going on all around you!’ He pointed to me a young guy sprawled face down on footpath with drug overdose. My heart skipped a beat. We have blatant misuse of surrogacy concept in India. Drugs are available in kirana shops. Modi govt has lost total control. Is ineffective when it comes to dealing with dope issues. Under DMK, Tamil Nadu is witnessing a hitherto unseen spike in use of spurious drugs. What is the law enforcement doing. Taking commissions from ganja dealers? Laws must also be spruced up to allow surrogacy only for a first child to medically unfit couple incapable of conceiving on their own. Recently there was a case of a young man expiring on surgery table on careless administration of anesthesia for hair grafting. In productive years, why are our youth pre-occupied with frivolous superficial matters? A friend told me that a girl from Delhi or Punjab (not sure) who was attending a deemed university in the city sold her eggs to buy an I phone. I couldn’t believe this happened in Chennai.

However, there is a tendency among the Musk-Trump tent to brush everything under the carpet in the name of ‘wokeism.’ One only has to recall the suffragettes, Martin Luther King etc., to be reminded why it is at all necessary. The coinage may be new but the concept is not. We live in a fairly decent era in the present thanks to the rebellions and coups of our ancestors: bloody or bloodless.

Wokeism for just purposes in a peaceful manner must be okay. You cannot put a blanket ban on every protest, every banner, every social cause. Some of the issues may be sensitive and may warrant action. Things will work out fine in the long run. The younger generation has no patience left to wait for such a day. Injustices are balanced by nature in course of time. Time alone can bring justice. We have reservations in India to compensate for centuries of caste discriminations. Every tilt to one side will correct itself given some time gap. America too has done a lot for restoring social justice and equality among genders and races. Human rights SUPPOSEDLY matter more over there!

Sometimes I am glad and relieved I am 55, and we grew up in a nice sweet innocent and warfree world. Chennai was good old Madras then, resembling a huge village. So green, unpolluted. We never knew the meaning for the word ‘violence.’ Not even biriyani was there! Never happened to watch a street fight. Dance, music, academics, art, temples – this was what life was about. Sometimes I wish I could return to the 80s when my peers all had rosy teen years. It was the last of safe times we were seeing perhaps, little did we know then. Our world was insulated from the harsh world reality of bloodshed and material greed. Our parents led a simple but satisfying and happy life.

I always factor in the variance – the standard deviation which accounts for a small percentage of noncompliance – the nonconforming. We need these odd balls to practise our tolerance. Variety after all is the spice of life. The diversity is what is the beauty of our existence than the boring monotony/familiarity. Once upon a time, Hindu women had to throw themselves into the funeral pyres of their husbands who passed away. Burnt alive. Probably a woke mind virus afflicted Raja Ram Mohan Roy to take up the social cause and correct the situation, right Malhotra ji? WAs India’s freedom struggle wokeism? The women and the shudras of my country had to fight legal battles to enrol in schools and universities. Nobody called it ‘woke’ but it was the need of the hour. When we skip or postpone righting the wrongs, we are inviting civil wars. However we can attempt to improve the situation than call for dismantling the establishment. Therein lies the difference.

SEx change in Hindu history Mahabharatha: SHIKANDI. Fifteen to ten thousand years back, India/Hindus recognized transgenders who even changed sexes supposedly. Both Malhotraji and Musk must note.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shikhandi

Poor Vivian/Xavier. We can all speak from the lectern. Post comments in social media. But what to say to a kid who is all confused about sexual orientation. It can be baffling. If this is not suicidal then what is. Someone is born a transgender not by genetic disposition or any disease. It is just a single chromosome going freak when the sperm breaches the egg. It can happen to anyone. Any normal healthy couple can beget a transgender kid irrespective of their race or religion or caste. Nobody to blame: not the genes or the family tree, not the community. Just one of those unpredictable accidents of nature. If Musk cannot understand even now, then its better that, that child of his is lost to him. Denial will someday hopefully lead to acceptance and understanding. All of it does not boil up to wokeism. Seriously we observe that there is a lot of mind related problems in the US. People care more for dogs and cats over fellow humans. We are all for wildlife and domestic pets – and in fact our forefathers did not bring any species whether human or flora or fauna to extinction like the Brits and other Europeans did. But if you have enough love to show for humans, the mind will be free on that one monumental expansion touching so many lives. There can be fewer counselling sessions and less medication. Regrettably India is walking down the same road.

Have all the freedom on earth – subject to limits. Your freedom ends when you stamp on your neighbour’s foot. EVerthing in moderation. Never take law into your hands. Go by the law. Play by the rules. Pieces will fall into their places with time. This is my final word for wokeism.

GDP matters over GDP Per Capita

Posted on by veeskitchen

The Gross Domestic Product GDP of a nation matters over the individual Per Capital Income (GDP Per capita). GDP is networth of a nation often in fact underestimated, typically as in the case of India. Per capita income is income per head. Oil based economies boast of highest PCIs in the world. Whereas USA, China, India, Germany, France, Russia and Japan are the leading world economies when it comes to sum total Gross domestic product.

INdia is very much underestimated in this list. America holds world’s largest bullion reserves and China is a feverish buyer for sometime now. But the gold held by Hindu temples and Hindu homes never is accounted for, which may exceed entire gold holdings of America and China and Middle east put together. Hindu temples are immensely wealthy flush with diamonds and gold coins and gold jewelry. Indian homes hold caches of gold and diamond jewelry passed over for generations as well as designer ones from present. Official bullion holding by govt of India may be far less.

https://www.mygoldguide.in/4-breath-taking-gold-temples-india

Golden Mahalakshmi temple at Sri Puram, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India.

India is dotted with architectural marvels – our Hindu temples – millions of them, most of which are easily 2000 years old. These ancient sculptural feats hold within them panchaloka (5 metal), brass, bronze, silver statues worth billions of dollars. Most expensive silks of the world Benarasi and Kanjivaram are woven in India. World’s best mangoes grow in India. We are the world’s largest exporters of rice, wheat, milk, poultry products, beef. We export softwares and hardwares and automobiles and cell phones. Local manufacturing is strong. Even oil and gas are mined in India but we import both to cater to our industrial and domestic needs. We in India are looking forward to fossil fuel free world – that will forever liberate us from dependency on our oil imports. We welcome the green era with electric cars. That is bound to do wonders for a nation like India. These are the reasons I believe India is rightfully the 3rd largest economy in the world (not taking into account our natural resources, our farm bounties, our rivers, our mountains etc. One of the most blessed nations in the world that is timeless and ageless: that is my Bharat, India. We, some 1.3 billion Indians, share our motherland with native lions, tigers (highest count in the world again), Asian elephants and myriad species of other wildlife (including India’s own exclusive single horned rhinos) and flora and fauna and the avian families. Who will put a bill on all of this?)

Gulf nations are very tiny compared to vast countries like India or America or Canada or China or Russia. So concentration of wealth is in one or two or three cities that make them look richer. In my country India, wealth is SPREAD. Widespread. INdia’s wealth is not constituted out of her natural resources such as oil and gas. India’s wealth is MANMADE – acquired with the hardwork and dedication of our masses.

Which is why, its the GDP of nations that matters. The wholesome output of an entire nation and its share in the world market matters over individual per capita income. Even if we compute PCIs, at least two Indians are among the world’s 20 richest: the Ambanis and the Adanis. Adanis are among the world’s top 10. Their wealth is entirely based on production oriented manufacturing industries.

The quality of wealth, the ways and means of acquisition of wealth – all these matter. The wealth of India also lies in the manuscripts in Sanskrit, Tamil etc., that date back by thousands of years.

There is a deliberate miscalculation of dates and wrongful and willful misrepresentation of history and wars. This was the biggest mischief committed by the British. For instance, the British put the date of Adi Shankaracharya by 7th century CE. Whereas Hindu history reveals that Adi Shankara turned the river Poorna with his pleas and prayers so that his mother could have her ritual bath every day in her old age. Carbon dating now points to river Poorna diverging from original course to 3rd century BCE – which means the British made a huge error of judgment in charting Adi Shankara’s birth and history. Hindu history is easily 10000 years old. Most Hindu saints were born before the birth of Christ. Tamil and Sanskrit literature we read even today are from 500 BCE minimum. Advance grammar and standard of prose and poetry can have no precedence.

Our GDP also may include our railway networks, airports, shipping, defence, space industry, infrastructure including highways, investments in tech parks, metros in every city, mining, farming, fishing etc. World economies hardly take into account such a grand picture.

Only nation on earth to have Brahmos missiles now exported to the Phillipines:

India’s space agency ISRO, a chief contribution to Indian economy, launching for foreign clients:

India’s software exports:

Worth of Indian railway network alone:

https://www.ibef.org/industry/indian-railways

Indian economy is very diverse. We don’t keep all eggs in one basket. Our pharmaceutical industry, health care industry, textiles, food industry, dairy, leather industry everything is a high performer. In Information technology (IT(n we are pioneers.

So it really shocks me that those in the west see only what they want to see like the Indian slums and put us down. The truth is: INDIA IS THE THIRD RICHEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD after China and the US.

UK story is over since long. One reason for BBC to degrade India by propaganda is this: bitter envy. Dear BBC, even the Kohinoor of your Buckingham palace is originally STOLEN from Hindu temple of Mother Badrakali in Warrangal in India. UK lived a fancy rich life with stolen wealth from India, Asia, Africa. Now Brits are high on welfare aren’t they!

India is an all round robust economy, very well balanced. We look forward to shifting over completely to green gases in 10=20 years that shall cut down our oil and gas (fossil fuel) consumption. This can do wonders for the Indian economy and our environment.

My nation also exports GLOBAL CEOS!

Onion Politics.

Posted on by veeskitchen

Missed the Indian onions in Doha in last few months. Never settle for the Chinese. Sudan onion was there along with a few more. But there is simply no substitute to the great Indian onion! Spicy with its natural pungent odour, for garam masala gravies and for hot, simmering Indian curry, there can be no better alternative. Others come sweetish. Even as I was wondering why the famous fiery Indian onion was conspicuous by its absence, it registered in me that the Indian Lok Sabha elections were scheduled for April-May! Onion price rise turns masses against ruling government! Onion is emotion for India! Smart move by the Modi govt stopping onion export so foreign countries including the GCC nations had to switch over to other secondary options. Not only the Indian onion, a few more specifically Indian things sought out by international shoppers went missing from the supermarket shelves since the year beginning. Finally as phase by phase the elections are on, the onion is released by the Indian govt for supply in the overseas markets.

New T Cell Therapy for Cancer Treatment Affordable for World patients in India.

Posted on by veeskitchen

Finally having our own gene therapy or the T cell therapy is in India that has cut down costs from INR 4 crores to under 40 lakhs of rupees, making it affordable for not only cancer patients from India but for those from around the world. One medical practitioner has claimed to have come up with a vaccination that can cost a mere 100 bucks to prevent cancer! In any case, the race to inventing the cancer vaccine is on and India is a co-runner in the pack with America, China, Russia and other European nations. The T cell therapy that is now selectively available in US and European hospitals for treating cancer, is finally available in India as local hospitals warm up to the new idea. Unlike chemotherapy, the established standard medical treatment for cancer that is sold over-the-counter like ‘one size fits for all’, the T cell therapy has to be customized for each and every patient which will make it complex to administer. The success rate with volunteers so far is promising.

The miracle breakthrough was realized at Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai very recently. Kudos to our medical researchers and oncologists and the entire medical fraternity that shall be rendering very soon chemotherapy redundant. In a third world nation like India, this means a lot to the masses. As we pioneer in the newly developed medical technology, the costs of treatment are bound to go down. India will be seeing more or perhaps heavy load of foreign patients, we being a well established medical tourist destination already.

Qatar India bonhomie.

Posted on by veeskitchen

Extremely relieved after the release of the eight Indian navy personnel from Qatar prison. I don’t want to go into the politics. I know my prime minister Shri Narendra Modi ji can move mountains, if he has to. Plus, India has enjoyed such a warm and trustworthy partnership/friendship with all the middle eastern nations so far. This one-off incident was like a thorn in the flesh that finally got removed. Strangely it is during the times of the Hindu nationalist party BJP that friendship and business deals with the OPEC nations got consolidated for India! UAE recently invited dignitaries from 42 nations to the first magnificent Hindu temple coming up in Abu Dhabi. The personal rapport shared by our prime minister with the world leaders and also with the support of Shri Ajit Doval and external affairs minister Shri Jaishankar, India shares excellent diplomatic relations with countries around the world. Resident of Qatar for over 15 years now. Its home away from home for us where we feel secure, wanted, respected and celebrated. Indians are prized possessions. Assets for gulf countries. Sheikhs are aware that without the Indian labour/engineers/medicos/teachers and schools and art and craft, their economies can come to a grand standstill. Most expats also spend a good percentage of the dirhams or riyals right in the host countries. Qatar changed my perceptions on Islam frankly. I respect their muted and understated success story. They are never splashy. There is a lot to learn from Qatar. I liked the way they handled the tensions with Saudi taking all the beating until things normalized. Small almost island country but with very sensible leadership with a vision of great future. Qatar helped us and millions lift up our standard of living. India for her part will always be a quiet but strong and dependable companion. I again admire the diplomatic tightrope that Modi government walked when things were not going right for Qatar and Saudi/Kuwait/UAE. India never antagonized the Saudi block but also was there for Qatar at the same time. Both nations are equally important to me. May god bless both countries! God bless UAE for giving Hindu expats our temples. UAE ensured that Shiva and Raam will always be there for them from here on.

Pre-poll Rigging: the Indian scenario.

Posted on by veeskitchen

Strangely added a new word to my vocab ‘pre-poll rigging’ from foreign media. Although the terminology is new to me, the process is not, for it is more prevalent in India, the world’s largest democracy over any other nation on earth.

The Kamal Hasan party ‘ MNM’ (Makkal Needhi Maiam) in Tamil Nadu is a case in point. Floated by the actor right before last Lok sabha/Assembly elections, the very purpose of the party was to divide votes and see to that ADMK supported by BJP would not return to power in the state. Where the funds poured in for the party remained a big question mark. It was alleged that Kamal converted to Christianity so church was funding him to take on BJP. Secondly there was a theory that he was fielded by the Dravidian lobbies to split the vote bank. ADMK lost the assembly precisely thanks to Kamal’s new political party that shot up like a mushroom from the previous evening’s downpour. The party that went ballistic from day 1 of its formation, was very short lived in reality. It is almost dissolved now. When DMK emerged as the majority party to form the state government, the party bigwigs resigned one by one. Soon nobody remained in the party and the curtains came down. Last heard from the party quarters: A BIG SNORE. That MNM is dysfunctional goes without saying. With pockets full, probably the instruments of pre-poll rigging were singing and hopping their way to the Swiss bank, who knows. Mission accomplished. ADMK did well on vote count even if they lost their key constituencies. The swing in the voting pattern was because of the MNM. However marginal, the swing votes decided the poll outcome.

Now that the general elections are around the corner, another popular Tamil actor is now in the fray. Leading superstar Vijay has announced his new political party and it will be interesting to wait and watch what happens to his party once the polls are over. MNM served its purpose: of splitting the vote bank and helping DMK form the state government and at the same time ousting the ADMK from the state assembly. This is a classical illustration of how pre-poll rigging works.

However it takes much more than all these petty gimmicks to work out anything of this kind at the center. Indian elections are a mammoth exercise that have no parallels in world history. India is 1.33 billion strong with about a million adult franchises eligible to cast votes. Lok sabha or the general elections are normally held over a month’s time in seven phases every five year, for security reasons. No more paper ballots (since last 20-25 years). We have the EVM or the electronic voting machine that has an added real time vote slip for cross-check if need be. Normally the matching is done before the results are announced. VVPAT (as the paper count is called) compatibility with the electronic vote tally ensures that there is no rigging or error in EVM functioning. Any mismatch may invite a re-election or re-casting of the electronic ballots. Rigging may not be altogether ruled out because, at the end of the day, electronics are electronics. EVMs also can fail at times despite cautions. There are always backups in such events. But then it may help us to remember that the congress govt too won with the EVM machines to form the government at the center. Moreover we can guess the popularity wave from the mood of the nation. However, always expect the losers to cry over suspected foul play! When congress won, BJP alleged EVM tampering and when BJP won, congress alleged EVM manipulation! That is what politics may be all about!

How India Votes.

Cheating in Indian elections is getting increasingly difficult if not altogether impossible. Establishing the ID by itself is a documented process that must have been carried over months before (for a first time voter). You cannot vote in Indian elections with your ID alone which is the Aadhar card. You need the Voter ID which can be procured only if you have the Aadhar ID. You cannot exercise your right to cast your electronic ballot with any of your allowable Indian IDs if you do not have the voter ID on you.The voter ID app is permissible these days on your mobile. Your mobiles are screened/frisked before you enter a polling booth. The Indian election commission app is one of the best to have on your phone when it is time to cast your vote. Double checks ensure that securing a voter ID by itself is not without establishing proofs and laying trails all over. Aadhar records your bio-metrics and residence proof. Aadhar is the basic standard Indian ID. You won’t even be cremated without your Aadhar proof! Without the Aadhar and two more supporting IDs like the driving licence (DL), passport, PAN (Income tax permanent ID linked to your Aadhar ID and bank account) card etc., you cannot procure a voter ID. (In India, whether you are income tax assessee or not, you must hold PAN card. You cannot even open a fixed deposit or trade in stocks or register a property/sell or buy jewelry without the PAN. PAN records your financial activity.) Each ID is also interdependent. So unless you are a citizen of India having lived here as a resident, no way you can establish this chain of proofs that are inter-linked even to your registered mobile and primary bank account!

Yet the Bangladeshi are here illegally in large numbers to cast anti-Hindu and pro-muslim votes which makes CAA absolutely relevant. Bangladeshis with their sizeable illegal votes have already changed the destiny of Malaysia. CAA helps weeding out the illegal votes from immigrants who are supplied with fake IDs by vested interests. The immigrant votes can become influential in deciding the fates of nations.

EVMs do a fantastic job. In fact entire India polls can be done away with in a single day with the latest and updated versions of EVMs. The phasing is for security reasons. Now no more massive election rallies from months prior. No use of loudspeakers. No relentless canvassing. It is February and is there even a whisper about the elections in April? You have to walk on your own two legs the last half kilometer or so to the polling booth and cannot be dropped close to the booth. aStill, voting now is much more smooth. One wrong move and you could be handcuffed. Nothing is allowed to disturb the electoral process to facilitate seamless transfer of power. In this one agenda, our political parties stand united when it comes to holding free and fair elections. Nation comes first.The general elections always remind me why India is still ticking in spite of so much chaos. The discipline and the meticulous EVM procedures make the impossible possible.

The NOTA button in the EVM: This option can be exercised if you do not want to vote for any candidate. It ensures that your vote is not going waste. The sum-up of NOTA in every constituency and in the entire nation reflects the dissatisfaction of the Indian electorate. The mammoth Indian elections will be soon underway. Normally, not to disturb the schools and universities, elections are held in April-May months. Dates are yet to be announced for the upcoming Lok sabha elections.

BJP changed the way the voters can be reached. Social media started playing a significant role when it came to urban votes. Rural franchises are not be left behind. They are far more politically savvy than you may imagine. Even farmers and artisans from remotest Indian villages can now use smart phones and check their LPG subsidy credit in their bank accounts. They have free health insurance, other sops etc., that are banked in by the government. They matter-of-factly use the PayTM app to go cashless. They all have QR codes now! The qr code may be printed right on the coconut tree in a village where the poor villager may be selling you the fresh tender coconut from the coconut tree under which you may have parked! Pretty cool that is! Subzi vendor has the qr code printed on the onion sack! India is way too digital than most advanced western nations! To that extent our rural population can be tech savvy these days! I don’t think any gimmick can work effectively when it comes to influencing the Indian voter. Unless you perform, you perish. Even Modi haters want him because Modi is good for business. At the end of the day, we all want our country to prosper. We want inclusive growth. We want respectability in the world stage. We want a bold,strong leader who we can count on.

So rigging in Indian elections may be past history done away with paper ballot era that ended over a quarter century ago for us. But there can be no ruling out the pre-poll rigging, preparing the grounds for favourable results. My home state Tamil Nadu is a kiladi in playing that kind of manipulation game. It brings a smile to my face: that Modi is kiladi ke kiladi!!! Yaarkitta! Tamil Nadu BJP state chief Shri Annamalai is going great guns. It will take more than pre-poll rigging to diminish his growing popularity and the party’s increasing clout in the state. BJP will improve its vote bank no doubt. The party will make impressive inroads all across Tamil Nadu which is already ringing alarm bells in some quarters. So the Vijay arrival. It may take a while for the central party to form a government in Tamil Nadu, but I can foresee it happening someday in near future. No pre-poll rigging can stop us forever from achieving our long term goals. The General Janata is way too smart and intelligent. Never underestimate the power of the common man. After emergency Indira Gandhi lost from Chikmagalur and congress was routed. The Indian masses aspire for growth. Their vote is for propellers of growth and prosperity.

Shri KK Muhammad, the real Kohinoor of India.

Posted on by veeskitchen

How can we ever payback this son of India Shri KK Muhammad who is the gem, diamond of Bharat. We don’t want back the Kohinoor that the British stole from our Mother Goddess Badrakali of Warrangal. We have a much more precious one among us. You see the beauty of things: how Ram placed a Muhammad in a spot to dig out the truth about Ayodhya – the irrefutable evidence.

In this video that is not English the eminent archeologist says, a priest once had a dream when Shiva told him that His temple needed to be rebuilt and restored as it lay in ruins. It needed to be rediscovered. The priest approached Shri KK Muhammad. He said it was not under his circle so he could do nothing about it although he felt compelled to do something for this temple. He forgot the priest within minutes and went about his work. Soon he was surprised to note that he had been transferred exactly to the department under which the ruin excavations came for his archeological work. He got the fax for transfer within hours of the priest approaching him.The divine command was what propelled him to dig out the Bateshwar temple. Rest is history.

NUMBER OF HINDU TEMPLES RAZED AND DESECRATED BY ISLAMIC BARBARIANS/MARAAUDERS IN BHARAT OVER CENTURIES : 48,000. Aurangzeb was the worst but others were only slightly better. Taj Mahal also is the ancient Shiva temple Tejo Mahalaya. Many rooms in the temple remain locked. One day, the vaults will have to be opened to seek justice. Once a Hindu mandir, always a Hindu temple. Shahjahan added the minarets and inscribed the islamic verses in the marbles of very ancient Shiva temple that’s all. Hindus keep meticulous record of most temples razed by the islamic terrorists.

A challenge to muslims: Can you uncover the khaaba and explain exactly what is in there. What stops you from revealing to the world what remains behind the scene. Why are you circumambulating the khaba. Do you do it in any other mosque. Why do you wear something like dhoti – the exact single piece hindu male garment for religious purposes to Mecca. Why don’t you wear the male arab robe which is your traditional clothes. Hindus can’t be copying you because we are a 10000 year old civilization. Disprove us of what we believe about Mecca. You cannot change our minds. No Hindu can make the mistake of NOT IDENTIFYING A DESECRATED SHIVA LING.

Maldivians: the thankless bastards

Posted on by veeskitchen

Having expressed my displeasure at the idea of Lakshadweep being opened to tourists that can wreck havoc with the fragile marine ecosystem we have there, it is time now to list what India has done for the ungrateful Maldives bastards.

I am posting a few links on Indian economic/defence/medical and emergency aid to Maldives as the island nation got repeatedly ransacked by nature and local political turmoil in last two to three decades.

and finally even the covid vaccine aid:

Here is a lesson to even the Modi govt. Too much of Arab investments in India is neither healthy nor advisable. It is vital to cap their stake to under 49% in every single sector. Overdependency on Islamic nations can render us economically vulnerable to them. No Arab or Muslim can be without an agenda when it comes to India, the Hindu majority nation. We are the sore reminder to them that we defy them with our existence and survival. Finally they are one Umma. When world condemned the epicenter of global terror Pakistan for hiding Obama and for arming and training terrorists and carrying out terror attacks around the continents from Asia and Europe to America and Australia, Malaysia was still doing business with Pakistan. Never mind, India is a major trade partner with Malaysia and that the Malaysian population constitutes of 7% ethnic Indians among others. Not a single islamic country in the world has ever condemned Pakistan for their export of terror ON RECORD.

Well, having said that, it will be a miracle if Maldives survives the next 100 years or even 10 years. Maldives will be one of the earliest nations on earth to be swallowed by the oceans in near future.
