  • From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Mangaluru: Mayor Jacintha Alfred Inaugurates Beach Festival at Panambur

    Seasonal Festivals whether at the Beach or at any Park brings new awareness amongst the Citizens, particularly the youth to come forward with new ideas to contribute their talents and abilities that will also boost the tourism facilities in and around Mangalore. These seasonal gatherings should be encouraged for the schools and colleges to come forward and contribute their share towards helping the City in promoting tourism and various other seasonal attractions. Major Corporations such as MRPL and several other Business Groups should be encouraged to take part in many activities and donate attractive prizes as incentives. Food and beverages, including fruits in season should be distributed for the kids as well as the adults so that more and more participants are attracted. All of the above will boost the marketing concept for the welfare and development of Mangalore. We congratulate the Mayor for her initiatives, and wish her best of success in her esteemed position as a Mayor.

  • From Original R.pai on Mangaluru gets Cleaner with Ramakrishna Mission's 37th Swacch Mangaluru Abhiyan

    ” I would have expected at least one member from the BJP MLA,MLC or MP….” writes Sharia Shaikh. Dear Taqiyya artist, Why do you keep embarrassing yourself ? Capt.Karnik has been regularly attending these events. Even Nalina Kumaara did attend a few even though I would have expected him to attend far more!! Read earlier reports to educate yourself! By the way, where are the Congress MLAs and MPs? Don’t they want to see a cleaner mangaluru? Is politics more important than doing some social service? Also, what about your community? How come they are missing any positive, constructive activities? See, this is what happens when a community has no good role models or leadership!! Sad!!

      It’s interesting to see how this report doesn’t even mention the political party behind this episode. Imagine it was a BJP govt!! smiles… – RampaNNA Oh well. that may well have been due to an oversight – as in the Mangalooru eeeemaaana Nildhana gold smuggling case. Read on pyare Rampu: Her answer still rings in my ears. “Bhaiyya, saawan ke mahine me ek paav daal laye thhe” (Brother, we last bought 250 grams of dal during the rains). I had asked her when was the last time she cooked dal for her family. This was village Mastapur in Tikamgarh district, Madhya Pradesh, which shares its border with Uttar Prad­esh, where the pitiless terrain of the old Bundelkhand region extends. I asked this question to every woman I met during this visit. Usually there was an awkward pause followed by a smile or laughter (“don’t you know the price, babuji?”), but not a single woman claimed that her family consumed dal daily or even regularly. Hundreds of ravenous stray cattle, mostly cows, scourging the field for some straw or tree leaves, announce the arrival of a village. ‘Anna pratha’ (letting off cattle) is an old tradition in Bundelkhand. But villagers tell you that this year the number of cows let loose exceeds anything in the past. As you look at those ­exhausted, lowing cows, those loud TV debates on cow slaughter and beef consumption begin to sound fake and so removed from the real India. For the cattle, this is slaughter by other means. http://www.outlookindia.com/article/the-footsteps-of-a-famine/296549 ——————————————————————————————————— So, WHO was in power ALL these years? – (Akhanda) Bharathiya Janaaaatha Paaaaarty or Bharatiyaaa Jokers Paaaarty (I hope the additional ‘a’s are in line with Rampaaaa’s NEW & hitherto unpatented, BUT unprecedented usage of the same), all of us know that it is the BEE Jayyy Peeee that is in power since 8th Dec 2003! – Boko Haram? – The Commie Republic of China? – The Triads? And these people want Metros! They want a ban on Beef! No beef.. no Dal.. no food…. people starving….. and our Pradhana & Anthima Sevaka wants FREE Wi-Fi for one & all. ‘Dijjiitaal’ India.. ‘MACK’ in India. Hahahahaha! Go MACK a speech in ‘MaddySon’ square! Pump in some crores each into ‘build'(ing) some 20 smart cities! Any comments except your usual stale ones of – ‘My allegedly REJECTED Yumreeki Eeeza’/Murudeshwara’, Somalia and of course – Aadu Jeevitham.. etc? Toothy SMILE…… 🙂 🙂 🙂 Now, please don’t tell me that I hurt the Sanaaaathana Dharma followers. And for God’s sake -your imaginary one – of course – don’t say that I attacked and hurt a Cow! Man! Not even SMART cities.. whatever they are supposed to be….. and Cows are supposedly smart ENOUGH to read my comments and perceive ‘hurt’! hahahahahah! More TEETH and more smiles. 🙂

      Original R. Pai. – “It’s interesting to see how this report doesn’t even mention the political party behind this episode.” Paimaam, there is no political party behind this. A minister is the wrong doer. But the BJP is politicising this unfortunate incidence. BJP’s action is “the report” that you want. This politicisation may even cause damage to her carrier. But if BJP comes to power later on, I am sure the BJP may not help her solve the problem caused to her by politicisation.

    The gibberish posted by joker Praveena Pinto proves two things: His infantile behavior and perpetual hatred towards sanaathana dharma. Otherwise, why would he attack cows in response to my post on hindu-bashing event? I didn’t know that his hindu-dhwesha had reached such a low, unhealthy point!! From ajeerna pill to Wenlock hospital – nothing seems to have helped him. Very unfortunate!!

This guy is acting infantile ever since he jumped on board here and there he goes saying that I’m infantile! Or else, I write about the perils about letting Cows wander the streets of M’lore/elsewhere and VIOLA – this Joker associates it with my alleged “perpetual hatred towards sanaathana dharma”. At this rate, I can’t about Water Buffalo, and Mouse/Shrew/Rat and Bull and Lion and Peacock and Horses and Swan and Great White Elephant and Serpent and Owl…… gosh! The list is ENDLESS! And to think that you call yourself stuff such as ‘Atheist’ and even go to the extent of saying that people should have the ‘right’/effrontery of insulting religions? Go, get………!

  • From shAIkh Mohd Rizwan on Karkala: Rs 10.84 Lakh Distributed in Alms to at Attur Shrine

    random case of assault to hide the fact that his community has been systematically destroying Christian community in all over the world!! -Atheist Mr.Original Pai Dear readers, RSS in show of strength – March in Shillong on Netaji birth anniversary http://www.telegraphindia.com/1160124/jsp/northeast/story_65544.jsp#.Vquy7FJa_C8 The RSS on Saturday took out its maiden ‘Path Sanchalan’ (procession) here in the capital of Christian-majority to declare its presence Meghalaya. Nearly 300 cadres, dressed in RSS uniform with sticks in hand, joined the march which began at 8am from Upper Mawprem and passed through various routes before ending at Balika Vidyalaya School opposite Lady Keane College. It was organised by RSS Vibhag Karyawa, Shillong. The RSS cadres were mostly youth and elderly persons from Khasi Jaintia tribes who follow the indigenous faith – Niam Khasi, Niam Tre – as well as non-tribals. “We have 293 cadres, spread across 39 villages of Khasi-Jaintia hills who took part in the march, of whom 80 are cadres from non-tribal communities,” said Mangkashang Khongshei, the secretary of RSS Vibhag Karyawa, Shillong. Surprisingly they selected the event coinciding to pay tribute to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose on his 119th birth anniversary.Where is the so called ‘social organisation’ with military style weapons training missing in last 6 decades after India’s independence?Why this organisation doesn’t even have single freedom fighter participated with Mahatma Gandhi freedom struggle and died for the nation? In a recent development Donning khaki shorts and white shirts, RSS activists conducted a Vijay Dashmi procession carrying firearms and swords in R S Pura town on the border. Ruling BJP MLA Gagan Bhagat, who also participated but did not carry any weapon, justified the action, saying the processionists had valid arms licence with them.The J&K Legislative Assembly Speaker Kavinder Gupta and senior Bharatiya Janata Party legislators Sunday openly participated in right-wing Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s ‘route march’ in Jammu. RSS men accused of brandishing weapons during Jammu march http://www.greaterkashmir.com/news/front-page/jk-speaker-bjp-leaders-join-rss-march-in-jammu/199908.html The Indian Arms Act prohibits display of weapons by any person, except authorised arms dealers, but they too can display them within their premises. Section 5B of the Act reads: “No person shall expose or display any permitted bore other than licence granted by the District Magistrate to authorised dealer within their premises.” Is constitution of India is separately defined for ‘Sangh parivar’ who can brandish weapons in full public view? Is it acceptable for PM Modi’s Ministry of Home affairs is Sikh,Muslims,Christians,Jains too take such march past? In the aftermath of ‘Godhra’,Tehelka sting operation has exposed the BJP MLA openly acknowledging the lethal weapons being transported and using it.Is Modi’s India is soft on ‘saffron terror’ unleashed by Hindutva forces? It is warning sign for North East,Jammu and Kashmir,Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh in particular from Sangh parivar illegal weapons display.Slowly but surely another wave of bloodbath is being carefully planned.

    Dear readers, I appreciate the good work of mission for carrying on the Mahatma Gandhi vision of clean India. I would have expected at least one member from the BJP MLA,MLC or MP would have participated in the programme without invitation. I would also like to request the Mangalore corporation to lay down some strict rule of law against the wall posters,buting etc.There should be some accountability. The mission should remove the stigma of untouchability, like Mahatma by taking up cleaning the dump yards,toilets,scavenging etc… Jai Hind

  • From Original R.Pai on Mangaluru: Getting a driving license at the RTO office!

    “He should keep a watch on what is happening in his constituency” – Porf.Nayak on an elected representative. Well, it pretty much sums up what we need to know about some of these elected ‘decent’ guys. We had a ‘decent’ guy in New Delhi (mana mohana) and we all know what he did when he was in power. The problem with ‘decent’ guys is that they can easily be bullied into silence by other aggressive, corrupt elements within the party.

    As usual, great report by this portal. As the saying goes, one picture is worth a thousand words. The photo showing Lady Goschen hospital wall pretty sums up the ugly reality of mangaluru politics drenched in communal politics. Look at the wall and see how there are posters on ‘saha baalve’ event whose only agenda was to attack, slander and project hindu organizations as terrorist organizations!!!! Remember, these groups preach us on tolerance while littering the town without any hesitation!!! On the other hand, we have a bunch of volunteers going out week after week, cleaning our city streets to make out society a better place to live!!! Unless you are one of those ‘Beef Club’ members, you shouldn’t have any trouble figuring out who really loves our society and who is using our society for political purposes!!!! Needless to say, certain political leaders and religious groups continue to ignore this ‘samaaja seve’ purely driven by their political and religious agenda. Very sad and depressing.

    It’s indeed a commendable job, I congratulate whole heartedly all the participants for doing such a selfless service to the society without much publicity which our current central govt. is doing opposite to it, only publicity no action. Dear all involved keep up the good work, definitely you will make the change in society. If you continue to do such service to the city I am sure once again Mangalore will become neat, calm and peace lovers’ paradise without any prejudice against any community.

    Sonal Monteiro looks like Freida Pinto, who became famous with her perfomance in the “Slumdog Millionaire” and since then, unlike Bollywood film stars who are totally hooked to Hindi or Indian films, she is very successful in British and American films and has won many awards and accolades.

  • From Nelson Lewis on Jai Tulunadu! Coastalwood Actress Sonal Monteiro all set to make Debut in Bollywood Film

    Wishing Sonal Monteiro all the best. Bollywood is the world’s largest film industry, leaving Hollywood in the second place. All said and done, this industry is the second highest paymasters to established stars and that is why many foreign actors, viz. Pakistan, England and other countries wish to act in Bollywood to make some quick and big bucks, which they can save for the rainy day. However, Sonal Mnteiro has to realize that working in Tulu films and trying to establish in Bollywood are two different things. It is a highly competitive work and the fittest survive in the rat race. Those stars who are successful, established and having films in the pipeline are fawned over by the Bollywood fratnerity and invited for film meets, social fatherings and awards or otherwise it is a “aya ram and gaya ram” scenario. Jacqueline Fernandez was born and did her schooling in Bahrain, though she is a Sri Lankan national. Her father is a Burgher (equivalent to Anglo-Indians in India) and her mother is a Malaysian. She is doing quite well in Bollywood. Once again, I wish this lady all the best.

  • From Narendra Nayak on Mangaluru: Getting a driving license at the RTO office!

    I think it is a two pronged strategy- one is to force you to go to ‘brokers’ to get your work done. The second is that if the licenses are not posted you will go to collect them and then the stamped envelop remains with them. The former is much more profitable, but the latter teaches you a lesson not to go there to do things directly! Either way it is a loss for us citizens. If there is a shortage of personnel how come that those who approach through brokers can get their work done quickly? The same must be applicable to them too. When I was standing in the line to make my payment I could see people with bundles of applications in their hands. Again, now they dare not jump the queue. When I was there once about twenty years back waiting in line one man with a bundle of documents in hand and a bunch of currency coolly went to the head of the line when about twenty of us were standing there. I called out to him and asked me whether he was blind. There was a big altercation and the people in the line told me that he was a broker entitled to special rights. I had a fight with him too. Then I told the cashier that if he touches the papers which he has submitted before he does mine I am going to complain about him. So, he did not until I had finished my payment. I do not what happened to those behind me but only hope they too did the same. That time itself I remember raising my voice at a case worker for not giving my papers in time on the promised date. When he said that he had no time, I picker up some which had been completed on the previous day and asked him if he had time for those, why not for mine? I said I am not going to move from there until he does my work which had been submitted more than a week back. He got nervous and the people who were watching applauded. I told them that they should fight for their rights than clapping for me. Then there was a driver of a govt. ambulance who told me that he was coming there for the eighth time to get the registration of his ambulance transferred from Chikmaglur to to Dakshina kannada and asked me to help him. I told him to get lost and that he was getting the same treatment from the RTO office which he was giving to the patients of his department. I have many such experiences at the govt. offices.

    India is a country where there is so much to learn in the daily events that apply our daily life of Economy, Industry, Education and much more. We have to be tolerant towards others ability to decide on the welfare of our State and our country. We should be fully prepared to offer our expertise to others for which they have to compensate for our time, talent as well as our expertise. Mangalore can prove in more than one way our ability to be of service to many others, and by so doing, we learn our way and grasp the future opportunities. All of these situations take place almost every day in all the countries, including highly developed countries. Once the decision is made, our tolerance and our acceptance should impress many others to solicit our expertise. Lets learn from each other by being calm and tolerant.

  • From Shona on Mangaluru: Getting a driving license at the RTO office!

    I had applied for the new license on 27/11/2015. It was a simple conversion from old booklet license to card. I paid for the envelope. Wait for 6 weeks and colleted it personally as it never arrived by post. I enquired and was told that bloke whose responsibility is to send these out is also saddled with to other tasks and so he is doing 3 men’s job so he posts them out as and when he can. There were close to 500 undelivered licenses in the bundle. That is not citizen’s concern as they can employ people. However that RTo office setup is like a dog’s breakfast. Needs to be streamlined.

  • From drona on Mangaluru: Getting a driving license at the RTO office!

    Prof Nayak, you are right but you are up against the corrupt government officials. They are all hand in glove and cover each other. The most important criteria as far as I am concerned is the ability to see and hear well apart from driving skill and knowledge. I guess the lokayukta has not visited these offices. RTO office is decidedly the most corrupt government office as every one knows. Please discuss this matter with our MLA Mr Lobo and get his help to resolve the issue. He is a decent guy.

        Prof Nayak, perhaps you should consider contesting elections in future. Even a corporation election is OK and you may try Gandhi Nagar ward. I am sure the residents will definitely elect you. That way you will have a better say in some of these offices where you can help the disadvantaged to get their things done rightfully. I trust you will take this suggestion seriously.

  • From drona on Mangaluru: 'Disappointed', Mangaluru not listed in Top 20 'Smart Cities' List- MLC Ivan

    On what criteria? Did Mangalore deserve to be in the top 100 Mr D’Souza? This is a city beyond any reasonable repair. It has degenerated over the years. Don’t just go by high rise apartments. Rahul Gandhi had once described Kolkata as a dying city. I guess he had not visited Mangalore. Mangalore needs to rise above petty squabbles, bigotry and discrimination that is rampant. The hygiene is so lacking in Mangalore. Any day I would vote for Mercara or Mysore.

  • From Melroy Fernandes on Mangaluru: Getting a driving license at the RTO office!

    Kudos to Mangalorean.com for the report. The difference in the reporting, as compared to other net-based news agencies, is the publishing of the RTI application. This helps the reader to ascertain facts for himself rather than of having to depend on an interpretation. Would be nice if Mangalorean. com also publishes the reply, in time to come, and also the outcome. Prof. Nayak’ step-wise report and discreet photography is a helpful teaching tool for all citizens about: how to empower oneself while dealing with citizen unfriendly govt. offices. Going by our current strategy of using Right to information and Right to Services(SAKALA in Karnataka) as tools to achieve better governance, attached is a screen shot of Sakala page which is self explanatory.

    Mr Ivan,you are sad that Mangalore is not in Smart City List. I am happy along with thousands more because 1000 crore is saved. That is Tax payers money which could have been Swindled Out by the Corrupt. You know who they are. Possibility is that Smart City Selecting Group might have known this factor. You arranged Smart City Meeting in TMC Hall spending Lavisly on Dinners and Breakfast. Why you did not use Town Hall. Selecting Group saw this lavish spending!!! You had wrong Character People in Consultant group. You could ask Inspector Mr Pramod about this.. Some corrupt Corporators are Smart City Advisers. This may be another reason exposed. Did you look at the behavior of some Corporators during Mayor’s Meeting on Antony Waste. Smart City was watching this ugly show from Delhi. They probably Judged, how these kind of Corporators will build Smart City with lousy Behavior. Don’t blame be happy. Not a single job done on infrastructure Sector completed. Money is spent. Look at the Back Entrance Gate to MCC Complex. 15 months passed since Complaint was filed with You. If such a small Job is still not started,how many Centuries needed to finish Smart City.

    Mr Hegde,please note that before Lokayukta gets involved suspend few to teach a lesson. Also we public should ask DC Mr Ibrahim to install CC-TV Cameras behind the RTO Building to keep Eagle Eye watch on Vehicle Inspectors and People involved in it. It is a Black Money Mint without a building. I have seen a City Bus came in for inspection without any break lights,and torn bumper. Parked and left the premises still without break lights. Passed with Rs. in hand test. Mr Narendra Nayak, these envelops are passed on to brokers for money. Most Govt. Offices are curse to Public.

      • From shAIkh Mohd Rizwan on SC stays criminal proceedings against M S Dhoni

        They come to a country as beggars! And a kind-hearted country grants them asylum!-Mr.Praveen Sir,First of all I don’t know what is the connection between Cricketer Dhoni and EU refugee crisis. Immigration continues to be one of the most politically polarizing issues in America. The topic of immigration policy has been a staple of recent presidential debates, and has even divided some members of the Church. Let me educate son about the new Danish refugee laws are a blot on humanity. http://gulfnews.com/opinion/editorials/danish-refugee-laws-are-a-blot-on-humanity-1.1661195 ‘Now that you have arrived, hand us all your money and jewellery, if you have any left.’ That’s the message for refugees that Danish lawmakers drove home on Tuesday night, voting overwhelmingly in favour of a slew of measures, personally championed by Prime Minister Lars Rasmussen and intended to deter them from seeking asylum. The steps include a new law to empower Danish police to seize valuables from refugees even as they are “welcomed”. There is also the draconian provision under the law that will delay family reunification for refugees for three years. Simply put, even those granted refugee status in Denmark will not be able to bring their families in till that period — never mind if they have to endure the daily prospect of violence, rape and murder. It’s always pragmatic when a country puts its long-term financial health ahead of any other issue, as Denmark has done. But an increasingly globalised community requires a certain basic camaraderie for people facing a humanitarian crisis. Instead, in heaping humiliation on refugees, Denmark has shown it doesn’t belong to the world’s welcoming community. Once a champion of refugee rights, the Scandinavian country’s goal is now to become “significantly less attractive for asylum seekers,”. Amnesty International has called the three-year waiting period for family reunifications “cruel”, saying it could “have a devastating impact on families”. Home to 5.6 million people, Denmark registered 21,000 asylum applications in 2015, making it one of the top EU destinations per capita for migrants but putting it far behind the 163,000 registered in neighbouring Sweden. Jesus says(Peace upon him): “Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was ill and in prison and you did not look after me” (Matthew 25:41-43). When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. (Leviticus 19:33-34) Only Almighty know our destiny.What we have today maybe not be available for tomorrow.The plight of refugees in Europe could be ours own may be not because of wars whatever Almighty has written in our faith. Kindly restrain mocking the plight of others.Follow the Jesus(Peace upon him)commandments and do service to the humanity. Jai Hind

    ‘Aakrama-sakrama’ is an euphemism for govt endorsing and promoting bad behavior of poor people. This doesn’t stop it, instead it enables and promotes even more bad behavior by poor people!! What govt needs to do is provide a fair system where we all have equal access to education, justice and opportunities. Giving him another acre of land may not solve the problem if he doesn’t know how to manage his finances. Give him god guidance and a better paying job if possible. This will teach him the importance of responsibility in life.

Sir, generally you, the neo-rich people may be rich because of going to some foreign country, are totally dehumanised. But, I am sure that if Modi were in the place of DC Ibrahim, you would have worshipped him to impress the Indians that Modi is a God!

    It’s very interesting to see how most of the comments are directed towards this arrogant minister, not the party in power. By the way, I agree that we shouldn’t unnecessarily attack a political party or an organization every time one of its members is seen doing something wrong. However, I don’t see the same level of restraint when it comes BJP or RSS. All of a sudden, it turns into a ‘sangha parivaara’ and Hindu-bashing!! LOL Is it too much to ask for intellectual honesty? smiles….

A very humble, friendly person, courteous and loving person like Alfy Dsouza deserve this recognition.

    Mr. Joe D’Souza, The Police Officer who has been victimized by this uncouth, rustic and probably corrupt politician is not an Inspector, but a Deputy Superintendent of Police, who has a couple of full-fledged Inpectors and others reporting to her. Every profession in India has an educational criteria, why not for politicians? Are they some special or untouchable breed? There should be special institutes affiliated to an University or Universities where all future politicians should graduate before they can take part in elections. They should be grounded in matters like how to speak politely and effective, importance of grooming, dressing, eating, respecting people and beaucrats and being very conscious when enjoying at taxpayers’ cost. It should be drilled into their thick heads that THEY ARE PUBLIC SERVANTS. Most Indian politicians have an exaggerated importance of themselves and act as feudal lords.

He would have taught Her how to be Corrupt in 42 minutes. People Elect these no good people to represent them. Police Department should keep close eye on these Ministers and nail them when involved in illegal activities. Hope all of Us in Mangalore remember Inspector Pramod case.

    Media in India in today’s world should be treated in a “big picture” context. India is a large country with a large population of all ages, all religions, all languages and much more. Our Industry has multiplied, and so also our Economy and our Society. India is an advanced nation marches boldly forward with many other nations. Our Educational background and our historical background, specially our admirable democracy is something that the World is amazed. Media in India therefore should be always molded in a positive spirit. The people need to see the bright picture than a gloomy picture. The generations of India are changing fast with growing population. We are glad to witness a large congregation of students attending this Conference. India of today belongs to the “young” and “enterprising”. The Media has a great role to play. We pray to God that the Media of India will always play a positive role that will help the masses of people to grasp always something is good and positive. This is our message for India’s 67th Republic Day. “Dhanyawadh”

    Phony people like Nalin and Ivan have been in the politics for a long time in the state so they almost certainly would have known about the Yettinahole project when the previous BJP government was pushing it through behind the scenes. If they were unaware of it that means they were not keeping in touch with the political affairs of the state and are unfit to be in their current job/role. Now both of these are acting innocent and shedding crocodile tears in front of the public because they do not want to lose the popularity. People are too ignorant. They have pledged their allegiance to the party which protects their religious interests. This is the exact opportunity these politicians have used to hoodwink the coastal districts. Common man will continue to lose out if they start looking everything in terms of BJP and Congress. They deserve everything they get.

      Many Bollywood stars are. at best, eye candies in case of males and roses in case of females, but I wonder if they have grey matter, intelligence or average levels of general knowledge. It was worth listening to one actor who became a M.P. being very uncofortable and squirmy when he was asked some questions. He was not at all wordly wise. In early 1980s, during a respite in film shooting, he was asking another co-star, what was doing on in Sri Lanka and why are people fighting there. Well, the fact of th matter was that there was L.T.T.E. which was demanding an independent land for the Tamils and, therefore, L.T.T.E. was fighting the Sri Lankan Army and indulging in acts of terrorism. The co-star told this star that L.T.T.E. is demanding of the Sri Lankan Governmen the privilege of they and people watching Hindi films, which is being denied by the government. He fell for this bait.

Like when The Martian wins for Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy. 2. http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Why-Martian-Winning-Golden-Globes-Best-Comedy-Sucks-Real-Comedies-105127.html Excerpts: The Martian was a fantastic movie. It’s the best movie I saw in 2015. If anybody asks, I will happily vote to give The Martian virtually any award it wants. The acting is tremendous; the direction is great; and the cinematography is wonderful. The screenplay was close to perfect. The Martian is many things, but what it’s not is a comedy – and it’s why tonight’s big win at the Golden Globes has an unfortunate downside. 3. http://hollywoodlife.com/2016/01/24/danny-devito-oscars-racist-united-states-discrimination-controversy/ Excerpts: “It’s unfortunate that the entire country is a racist country,” Danny said. “So this is one example of the fact that even though people were giving great performances in movies, they weren’t even thought about. We are living in a country that discriminates and has certain racist tendencies. So sometimes it manifests itself in something like this, and it’s illuminated. But just, generally speaking, we’re a bunch of racists.” —————————————————————————————————– WHAT a Joke! 🙂

  • From Original R.Pai on Karkala: A Begging Bowl with Bapu's Attire at Attur Feast was Not a 'Swachh' Idea at All...

    Usually I find myself totally agreeing with citizen action taken by this portal, but not this time. If photos are any indication, the person was NOT begging. Instead, he was soliciting money in response to an act he was performing in public. As the report confirms, he was raising funds for ‘swachcha bhaaratha’ campaign. By the way, this act of ‘Gandhi statue’ is something that I have seen many times ever since my childhood. I had seen this Bangaluru, Mysuru and even some places of Dakshina Kannada. This is not something new. We need to stop being overly sensitive towards our cultural, religious and political leaders. If Raama, krishna, ganapathi costumes are acceptable in public, I don’t see any issue with gandhi or nehru. I really worry about this growing trend of ban and censor in our society. Oh well…

  • From Roy on Did the British Empire have any benefits for India?

    Tharoor is mistaking his benefits with the country’s benefits. His English language education gave him a career at the United Nations and cricket benefited him through IPL. For a man who constantly runs his mouth, Tharoor is silent on his wife’s mysterious death after she vowed to expose corruption in the IPL.

  • From Mangal on Mangaluru: Antony Waste Management Blackmailing MCC, Allege Council Members

    Some great points raised by Mr Joe D’Souza. The ‘Verification Certificate’ is just the desire to continue with the infamous License Raj – something that may have existed in India since Vedic times – using different avatars. A public servant’s – whether elected or employed – major occupation has always been to provide some sort of ‘Verification Certificate’. To get this ‘Verification Certificate’, the applicant has to wait in the queue, rain or shine, and beg the public servant to consider his/her case, pay the Government’s fee (a few hundred rupees), pay the public servant’s commission/bribe (several thousands to lakhs, sepending on the case). Such is the tragedy of the License Raj. But the Antony Wate Management seems to be a tough cookie. They seem to go by the contract. Strangely, for a service provider to a Municipal Corporation, they are not afraid of the License Raj managers. The MCC License Raj managers have, for once, failed with a service provider. It seems to be an interesting case. The aam aadmi seems to be happy with the Antony Wate Management, but the Corporators are not. Is the aam aadmi seeing through the games of the Corporators?

    I would like to ask Opinion of Mangaloreans about the suggestion, Quote: “Bills issued by Waste Management, Anthony Company should be accepted only if the Bill includes the Verification Certificate by the Ward Corporator”. As most of Mangaloreans know it very well that many of the Elected Persons including Corporators work to grant verification on the basis of percentage of the bill. Some Corporators are very good in finding dirt on other Persons back side, while their back stinks with dirt. A Corporator supplies drinking Water through Tankers to Customers. The Wells are close to Dirty Drain which is contaminated with Sewer, flowing close by these wells. No one talks about the quality of the drinking water. This water may be contaminated with E-Coli Bacteria. One more Corporator is not worried about the Stinking Sewer filled drain close to Omega Hospital, Indiana Hospital and close to Karnataka Bank Head Office. Another Corporator is least worried about dirty, sewer contaminated drain flowing near Nympha Old People Ashram behind Rosario Church through Pandeswer.

    Why should the Bollywood celebrities be invited to politically connected events? What exactly have they done for the nation other than being involved in tax-dodging activities? Do you people know how much this overrated “celebrity” charged the Indian commonwealth games committee (tax payers’ money) back in 2006 just so that she could appear in Sydney commonwealth valedictory function as Indian representative and dance on stage? Patriotism my foot. These people are ready to sell anything if the price is right.

      Mr. Henry James, You are perfectly right in describing the Bollywood stars as over-rated. Bollywood mostly churns out garbage films. lacking artistic values or morals and these stars are played astronomical amounts for acting in garbage films and doing pathetic roles. They live a surreal lives and they have, to put it bluntly, not connected with the masses. They bullshit by saying that they love and adore their fans, but do they have any connect with them? There are two top actors in Bollywood who are two-tongued and two-faced. By their slick talks on the eletronic media, they fool the people.

    Is there anyway I can reach out to the kids if they do not have a guardian by now or do not have anyone to take care of. Upon confirmation, I can provide my complete details to legally proceed further to bring them to my house. Also, please don’t get me wrong I’ll not respond to any criticism or to any other comments With the exception of MR team and I’ll share my details only with officials. Sorry if it sounds rude, nowadays few people sees everything as show off and creating a negative vibe, if those kids got a guardian or even if it’s no way possible to adopt them with my family, I would like to go anonymous that’s all. For now I can only say, I’m from Chennai and IT professional. Thank you in advance to the Team

    We have the smart phones, we have free YouTube. So the city corporation has to declare incentives to those who capture the video footage of litterers (it does not matter who they are). Those videos with all the information about the culprits should be uploaded to the internet for everyone to see. Naming, shaming and the resultant public humiliation is the only way to contain this problem. It does not matter which government is in power and what schemes they bring out. The people are the same. Unless you humiliate them this problem won’t go away.

    I’m surprised to see the name being published in the report. I thought that the new standards allow the names to be published only when they belong to sanaathana dharma?-Atheist Mr.Original Sir, Hindu ‘Dharma Sena’ Trains Thousands Of Fighters To Fight ISIS In India http://www.huffingtonpost.in/2016/01/19/hindu-dharma-sena-isis_n_9024732.html In an apparent response to the Islamic State, a Hindu outfit is training thousands of people — some of them children as young as eight years old — to fight with guns, swords, and rocket launchers. In two years, the Hindu Swabhiman has prepared 15,000 such fighters as part of their “dharma sena”. A Times of India investigation found that there are 50 such training camps across western Uttar Pradesh, who are preparing to fight the ISIS, which they believe will take over the area by 2020. One leader described their motto for training people as “catch them young” — where after the first six months of training, children begin learning how to use guns. Part 1 of The Wild West of Uttar Pradesh: Rise of the Radicalised Hindu Fringe Part 2 of The Wild West Of Uttar Pradesh: Rise of the Hindu Fringe Is PM Modi’s Home ministry is aware of parallel military by Hindutva group? Is RSS political wing BJP trust the capabilities of Indian Armed forces?Is this a new avatar of ‘Saffron terror’ to unleash Godhra or Muzzafarnagar 2 across India?Why does Firearms act is not applicable to social organisation RSS and its sister organisations? This is one the dangerous trend facing the nation which may disintegrate like ‘Yugoslavia’ on ethnic lines. The nation can’t develope ‘Political tears’ of PM Modi will hold value in the eyes of the nation only when he takes strict actions against all those involved in the heinous crimes whether against Dalits or Minorities.

  • From shaiKh MohD rizwan on Bengaluru: Techie Arrested for Derogatory and Threatening Post against CM in Social Media

    I guess the report is slightly misleading. Nobody should be arrested for derogatory remarks as it is protected under free speech. However, threat is not acceptable. -Atheist Mr.Original Sir,Only in PM Modi’s India ‘viral video’ uploader gets Z security under freedom of expression.Sangeet Som was one of the politicians who uploaded a fake video clip that provoked mobs in Muzaffarnagar district. The video, which the police have decried as a fake, showed a mob lynching two boys. And although, it has since been revealed video was clearly shot in Afghanistan or Pakistan, a large section of the population believed the incidents of the video had actually taken place in a village in Muzaffarnagar, which subsequently led to the deadly riots that killed 48 people. Every riot accused will be given security while the riot survivors will remain homeless. This is the acche din the BJP promised to people. “How can a person who plays with the feelings of a community, and thereby, creates communal tension, be provided with Z+ security? Mr.Original Som and suresh Rana are part of ‘Good governance’? Jai Hind

  • From shaiKh MohD rizwan on Mangaluru : Ramakrishna Mission holds 36th Swacch Mangaluru Abhiyan in Kodialbail Area

    Dear readers, I appreciate RamaKrishna mission unique service to the mankind.Cleanliness is one of the main object which present the first image of person or place.Thanks for inviting the people’s representative who are only seen giving public speeches. Sanitation for Ministers and Menials Alike-Mahatma Gandhi Father of nation Mahatma Gandhiji had started doing a scavenger’s job, and conducting scientific experiments in sanitation, from his South African days. His campaign for sanitation had twin social objectives – eradication of untouchability and promotion of the dignity of labour. He also said,our lavatories bring our civilisation into discredit. We like to have an enjoyable bath, but don’t mind dirtying the wells, tanks and rivers, by whose side we perform ablutions. These practices should be considered as a great vice. They are responsible for the disgraceful state of our villages and the sacred bank of sacred rivers and for the diseases that spring due to the lack of sanitation. I learnt 35 years ago that a lavatory must be as clean as a drawing-room. I learnt this in the West. I believe that many rules about cleanliness in lavatories are observed more scrupulously in the West than in the East. There are some defects in their rules in this matter, which can be easily remedied. The cause of many of our diseases is the condition of our lavatories and our bad habit of disposing of excreta anywhere and everywhere. I, therefore, believe in the absolute necessity of a clean place for answering the call of nature and clean articles for use at the time.” Sadly,our local MP is again missing.I would expect him to present in all the cleaning mission to keep the words Mahatma without ‘selfie with jaddu’. I would also request mission to focus on sanitation of public areas in their next mission. Jai Hind

    So, our Murudeshwara Rampai will finally have someplace to call Home, sweet Home. 🙂 And hey – know what? The distance by road to your fav place in the world (ya ya… Murudeshwara ya Rampa) is ONLY 156 Kms. If you put only 1/2 your remaining mind to it (which is probably not more than a thimbleful in the first place), you can make trips to Murudeshwara DAILY! Oh well, if not daily – at least weekly! Enjoy the beach (entry is FREE)… the waves.. the sand.. the serenity.. the tranquility.. the peace.. the statues, the crowds.. (no free wi-fi – at least not for the time-being. But then, I could have a word with the MLA out there – Mr. Lobo and see what can be done ASAP) etc. And as you do it – you can pull out your beloved Mridangam (or, was it the Mandolin?) and bang/strum away as you sing: I’ve wandered far away from God (Your imaginery one, of course!) 😉 Now I’m coming home; The paths of sin too long I’ve trod, Lord, I’m coming home. Refrain: Coming home, coming home, Nevermore to roam; Open wide Thine arms of love, Lord, I’m coming home. I’ve wasted many precious years, Now I’m coming home; I now repent with bitter tears, Lord, I’m coming home.

    Dear readers, Though India is biggest contributor for Information technology the citizens are not smart enough to understand the health dangers of the technology.Since the introduction of Wi-Fi in 1997, researchers have performed dozens of studies to explore the subject. The results are clear and shocking — Wifi can negatively affect overall health and brain health, especially in children. 10 Shocking Facts about the Health Dangers of Wi-Fi http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/natural-health/10-shocking-facts-health-dangers-wifi/ http://www.forbes.com/sites/robertszczerba/2015/01/13/study-suggests-wi-fi-exposure-more-dangerous-to-kids-than-previously-thought/#747434685fdc Radiation risk from everyday devices assessed http://www.eea.europa.eu/highlights/radiation-risk-from-everyday-devices-assessed There are no set standard on electromagnetic waves in India unlike European Parliament and European Environment Agency.Apart from prevailing health hazard,none of the manufacturer as per Indian standard will ever mention the radiation level in the manuals.Surprisingly, there are no public litigation has ever filed by citizens of India questioning the Ministry of Information technology.As our markets are flooded with cheap ‘Make in China’ smartphone’ (which can even explode while talking) huge potential in the market is exploited the consumer rights. Every technology has some pro and cons.As an Indian we have always accepted the technology without studying the drawback.Where are all the sparrows gone once common to our household?Is the self question to asked. Nature is God gifted.People in the west shun the clothes to expose to the sun in beeches is very common for health benefit.The ‘Digital India’ has taken to the new level, even the privilege of fresh air,water and sun is numbered.

Thousands of employees (and ex-employees) became karodpatis in their late 20s and early 30s – thanks to generous stock options!! However, I’m not sure about the Radia lady!!

      I like to speak the facts and have the conviction to admit mistakes, whenever I have committed them due to decisions that went wrong. I do not have any icons to stupidly say that, Once a member of Congress or BJP or Chameli Party, I am always its devout follower.” If someone has done mistakes, I vociferously criticise and if someone has done good, I acknowledge it.” This is simply because I do not have any vested interests to praise someone or an axe to grind, even if he has done wrong. I admire Mr. Naryana Murthy and most Indian politicians could learn a thing or two from him about simplicity, honesty and transparency in their lives, rather than foooling the Almighty God by visiting temples of worship to perform various tailor-made rituals. I also admire Azeem Premji and Rattan Tata, who have their own ethics and spend a lot of money on charity.

Else, you will come up with weird stuff such as Sanathaaana Bharatha and stuff & nonsense!

    So….a man is allowed to have two wives at the same time? Or, Is it laws applicable only to a specific community in India? I have a feeling that the illiterates on this forum don’t see anything wrong with this picture!!

      So….a man is allowed to have two wives at the same time? Or, Is it laws applicable only to a specific community in India? I have a feeling that the illiterates on this forum don’t see anything wrong with this picture!! – Mr. ‘Know-all’ (i.e. – ALL about Murudeshwara) Rampa If ONLY you dropped your deader-than-a-Dodo book by Goaaalaaamaaallakara and did some serious reading, you would have realized the following: According to the third National Family Health Survey carried out in 2006, 2% of women reported that their husbands had more than one wife. More than the religion of the parties involved, determinant reasons were not having a child or a male child from the first wife, education and the age of first wife. It found that a polygamous Hindu was likely to have 1.77 wives, a polygamous Muslim 2.55, Christian 2.35, and Buddhist 3.41. http://scroll.in/article/669083/muslim-women-and-the-surprising-facts-about-polygamy-in-india ——————————————————————————————- Well, as you can see, you REALLY have some SERIOUS reading to do before going after certain people with the SAME brush + feathers + tar! Work out the ratios (1.77, 2.55, 2.35 and 3.41 etc) against the populace of say 82%, 14%, 2.2% etc)….. and arrive at REAL numbers. AWESOME, right? 😉 Until then, just stop whinging. Btw, what does NATO and my neighbors PETO have to do with your Boddappanna printing greenbacks without proper collateral?

  • From Horny Manatee on Udupi: Govt Waives Loans Worth Rs 2.82 Crore Under Ashrya Housing Scheme in CMC limits - Pramod Madwaraj

    The minister Madwaraj almost makes it sound like he is paying from his own pocket. When you say “waived loans worth Rs 2.82 crores..” the loan does not disappear into thin air. It will be paid for through more taxes on people in the future. At this rate the Congres government is going to convert our state into another Bihar in the next 10 years. Nobody complains when everyone gets free money. The problem comes when it comes to paying back, when there is economic downturn and the government is starved of cash to pay for these “bhagya” schemes. Western countries are currently paying for such largesse of the past now. Who knows, the clueless yeddy will be in power again when the shit hits the fan and gets all the blame. People write off Congres easily. In my view they have the best political brains behind the curtains when it comes to running the show. They know which horse to play depending on the circumstances.

  • From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Mangaluru: Priests Ordained in St Joseph Seminary 50 Years Ago Offer Thanksgiving Service

    What a grand privilege and honor to witness 18 priests completing their golden Anniversary as priests ordained at St. Joseph Seminary, in our very neighborhood, fifty years ago. These 18 priests hailing from different Dioceses all over India and abroad have given total 900 years of Religious service dedicating themselves to the divine will of God. To be a good priests for fifty solid years is a tremendous feeling of pride and satisfaction not only for themselves as priests, but also thousands of others whom they have reached out and touched thru their prayers, blessings and much more. We have left Mangalore more than 59 years ago hence we do not remember any single priest amongst those 18, but we extend our best wishes to one and all of them for a continued and successful priesthood. May God help one and all of them. They are the treasures of our beloved St. Josephs Seminary which has been so dear to us from our childhood.

We are always keen to learn more and more about the people’s contribution towards causes that help the young kids to grow with good surrounding, good education and good upbringing.

  • From shAIKh moHD rizwan on Mangaluru: Present Population Trend Moving Towards Making Hindus Minority by 2061 - S V Vadiraj

    Dear readers, Time and again, many a leader from right-wing Hindu formations have advised Hindu women to serve the ‘nation’ by producing more children, and interestingly, the celibate ones amongst these advisers are more vociferous on these matters! Disturbed by these projections, Sadhvi Prachi advised that Hindu women should produce 40 children each while Sakshi Maharaj, a BJP member of Parliament, advised four children each for Hindu women. Are the reasons purely religious; the growth of Islam? If they are, then logically, the countries ahead of India (Pakistan and Indonesia) should keep the same pace and remain ahead of India as far as the population of Muslims is concerned. But if gravitation towards Islam is the reason, why should the number of Muslims in India overtake the number in other countries? The argument of religion being the determining factor in matters of population growth, therefore, is invalid. In India, the number of Muslim couples in the child bearing age, practicing family planning in 1970 was at 9 per cent (14 per cent for Hindus) and in 1980, at 22.5 per cent (36.1 per cent for Hindus). [Operation Research Group: Baroda 1981] Thus, the number of additional Muslims taking to family planning is keeping pace with the number of Hindus doing the same. Dr Rakesh Basant, an economist with IIM Ahmadabad and a mem­ber of the Sachar committee, points out that at present “there is (only) a 0.7-point difference between the Muslim and the average fertility rates. While the average fertility rate is 2.9, for Muslims it is 3.6.” He emphasises that 37 per cent of Muslims use contraceptives against a national average of 48 per cent. Therefore, contraceptive usage is about 10 percentage points lower among Muslims than the average. Let us have a look at the regional differences in the population growth of Hindus in India. Here, the gross observation is that in the more literate southern states, like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala, the percentage rise of even the Hindu population is less than the percentage rise of Hindu population in northern states like UP, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh. In December 2005, the then RSS chief [sarsanghchalak] KS Sudharshan had also urged the majority community in a similar manner. He said that 3-4 children per couple would keep the ‘changing religious demography’ in control. Just imagine had any other religious community [like a Muslim cleric from Nadwatul Ulema or Deoband] made such a statement, what would have happened? In conclusion, it would be most appropriate to ask why the census of India has not yet published data according to religion for essential social and economic indicators — such as literacy rates and levels of literacy, work participation rates according to occupation, and the distribution of public employment in national and state governments. Such data highlight the participation of various religious communities in public spaces and also provide a better yardstick to measure equal opportunities in India. The sadhvis and sadhus in Parliament would be better-off shouting slogans that favour the establishment of national- and state-level equal opportunity commissions in India. Also, it is time the Union government established a committee to review the improvement in the social, economic and educational situation of the 175-million strong Indian Muslim community since the Sachar Committee turned in its report. It is this gender imbalance that is really threatening Hinduism [and India]. There are vast regions where there are less than 800 girls for 1,000 boys. Even the upper class and middle-class want the ‘baby boy’. If the first child is a girl, many go for second, in the hope to have a boy. If the RSS leaders take up real issues that affect the nation, they would be taken more seriously. It may also strike chord with the young generation. However, they remain stuck in regressive rhetoric. Sangh also needs to look at itself. Do they have contingency plan to feed the 80 crores with falling economy and high cost of living were who are subjugated within their own caste system?Are these RSS Kanishmari census masters,has any data on malnutrition,unemployment,death rate etc.?? RSS wants Hindus to have more children: Shouldn’t Sangh leaders take up real issues like female foeticide rather than perpetuating old myths? Shouldn’t the swayam-sevaks [volunteers] shun celibacy and marry, in order to increase the numbers of Hindus? Jai Hind

      shAIKh moHD rizwan – “Sir, I have allergy to Sangh parivar misusing Hinduism and brainwashing innocents minds.” Janaab, the Sangh Parivar “owns” the Hindus, just like the ISIS “owns” the Muslims. You know why the RSS came into existence? Hedgewar knew in 1925 that the ISIS would come into existence in 2010! You know why RSS is to be supported by all Hindus. It wants to protect the Hindus from the Indian ISIS, a creature of RSS atrocities to be born in India, yet. They want to have 25 crore non – Hindus to become Indian Talibans, and by raising alarm of these Indian Talibans, they want to force their strangle hold on Hindus and India. RSS believes in secretly creating problems to the Hindus, and then openly promising to solve the problems, and then they also promise to emulate the the mighty like the Israelis, and when it comes to the brass tack, they do a “Pathankot” to shame Hindus and India! If the Hindus believe in the so called shield promised by the RSS, Hindus would vanish into the thin air by the enemy created by the RSS. The Hindu Religion, which survived 1000 years of the onslaught by the aggressive alien religions, and which do not owe its survival to RSS or RSS-like upstarts, would certainly be wiped of because of the RSS. RSS does not believe in the eternity built in the Sanatana Dharma and the inherent strength and vitality of this great ancient religion. SHOULD THIS GREAT RELIGION OF MINE BE DESTROYED BY THIS RSS TROJAN HORSE? HINDUS NEED PROTECTION FROM THE RSS AND NOT FROM ANY OTHER RELIGION, FOR OTHER RELIGIONS COULD NOT DESTROY THIS GREAT RELIGION DESPITE 1000 YEARS OF SLAVERY.

  • From Nelson Lewis on UAE: Jayaram Shetty A Free Bird Today after A Year - Out from Illegal Confinement in Saudi Jail

    What is mentioned in www.mangalorean.com about Mr. Jayaram Shetty has to be true. Saudi Arabia has idiotic police and judiciary, the latter follows the Sharia and the labour laws are, frankhly speaking, farcical. Further, the employers are supreme in Saudi Arabia and if they were to go to the police and make accusations of theft against their employees, then the police will handcuff and put them behind the bars. In an efficient system, the police officers cross-examine the parties’ complaints, witnesses, colleagues and also the parties that are accused of offences and crimes and hunt for documentary or concrete evidence. Only after thorough investigation, the police arrive at who are at fault and who are right, who are lying or concealing facts, who are the culprits and only then they come to a conclusion and file the charge sheet or set the parties that are accused of crime free. Sometimes, such investigations can take weeks or months and, therefore, the prosecution requests the courts for police custody and also extensions. Police in Saudi Arabia are comparable with feudal lords’ hatchet men and courts carry out employers’, powerful people’s or royal family members’ biddings. Everybody works in Saudi Arabia for money and not because that place is a paradise or liberal or Saudis are friendly people or the country is scenic. Scenic! My foot! In fact, most of Saudi Arabia is a vast unending desert with sand dunes rising upto 25-30′. Saudi Arabia. like Australia, has largely an urban population with 90% of the people living in the few cities and towns in that barren landscape, albeit sitting on vast reservoir of crude. If one were to pull out good, large scale maps and look at Australia and Saudi Arabia, one would realise except for certain populated areas, most of the land is not populated at all and probably in many places, man has not put his foot there. In comparison, Oman and Bahrain are paradises. In fact, the fortunate few employees working in large American and other multi-national companies and having both their offices and residences are fortunate lot, because they can watch movies, have privacy and enjoy other things of life which are considered normal in modern age, without the Muttawas (religious police prowling upon them or breathing down their necks. One fanatical element writing a lot on this column will accuse me of speaking bad about the country where I spent a couple of contracts.

      In an efficient system, the police officers cross-examine the parties’ complaints, witnesses, colleagues and also the parties that are accused of offences and crimes and hunt for documentary or concrete evidence. – Mr. Nelson Lewis Pyarelal Murudeshwara Rampu’ji & Sriman Lewis’ji By “efficient system”, I guess you’ll mean the USA. Well, take a look: http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/f/false_arrests_convictions_and_imprisonments/index.html On the left hand side, check out the list under ‘Chronology of Coverage’. if you need more cases, click on the ‘Show More’ and VIOLA!

    It’s nauseating to see how we keep inviting political leaders to inaugurate everything from apartment complex to escalators!! What next? Public toilet inauguration? No wonder, these politicians feel very special and entitled. In reality, they are some of the least qualified people in our society.

    “…was sentenced for 8 months’ imprisonment and flogging (lashes) for every 15 days” – Report I honestly don’t know why and how millions of immigrants from Indian subcontinent voluntarily travel to this country and risk their lives!! Saudi Arabia is probably one of the worst places on this planet to live. It is essentially a one large, open prison for immigrants!!! I don’t think it is worth taking the risk!! It’s beyond me how centuries old mindset and laws are still practiced in 21st century!!! I’m glad that Mr.Shetty is safely back in India. It will probably take him several years to recover from this mental trauma. On a different note, I’m also glad that our Praveena Pinto is back in India after several years in Saudi. We don’t want anyone to go thru this hell on earth!!

    • From Vinayak on UAE: Jayaram Shetty A Free Bird Today after A Year - Out from Illegal Confinement in Saudi Jail

      Original R. Pai. I full agree with you. I did have a worst experience couple of years back while driving towards Jeddah port. I made a stop over to buy some water, where the shop was at least 300 mtrs away from the main road. While entered into the shop, the cop communicated with me in Arabic and just bcos I was not able to speak arabic I got harassed. Luckly I had a good cab driver who was an indian and he was able to communicate further. As per him, they wanted money from me since I am on business trip to Saudi. The crime rate is very high in Saudi and the cops too are involved with the culprits. We say there is no corruption, but it is upto the core and more than Egypt I must say. As you said, they shall never get civilised even after 500 or more years to come.

    • From Nelson Lewis on UAE: Jayaram Shetty A Free Bird Today after A Year - Out from Illegal Confinement in Saudi Jail

      “Saudi Arabia is probably one of the worst places on this planet to live,” by Original R. Pai. Mr. Pai, What you said about Saudi Arabia is perfectly true. There is no human rights, no well-codified laws (but justice is dispensed as per the Sharia, which cannot be considered as body of laws. Koran came much after the Torah and Bible). Therefore, I am told, what is in these holy books contain are also found in Koran, as these were older religions. Koran came into existence in 632 A.D. Unlike Saudi Arabia and other fundmental and highly conservative countries and radical groups, both Jews and Christians do not have anything like the Sharia, because they find these things are not practicable, unimagineable and out-of-date and not in sync in modern era and have developed modern laws to fight offences, crimes and other crimes of serious proportions. Unlike Saudi Arabia, Israel whom it considers as its enemy, has a live-and-let-live attitude to minorities and during the last Ramadhan the Israeli President threw Ifthar for his guests, which obviously had to be Israeli Arabs and Palestinians. Can you think Saudis being liberal, even to a minimal extent, to people of other faiths? The famous doctor and the author of “In a land of invisible women: A doctor’s journey in Saudi Kingdom,” Dr. Qanta A. Ahmed. has admitted that there are mosques for Sunnis, Shias, Ahmadis, besides Churches and I would not be surprised if there are Hindu temples too, considering that there are many Indians who have gone to do PhD and other studies in water conservation and solar energy. Can you imagine these freedoms in Saudi Arabia or Pakistan (the land of the pure or, shall we say, the land of the impure). I personally feel that for any crimes, if people have to spend time in jails – especially the ones lacking skills – they should be taught skills, so that when they are released they can take up jobs and earn livelihood.

  • From Sensei Jayaram shanmugam on Bengaluru: PMA Holds 'Bangalore Open Karate Championship' at Kanteerava Indoor Stadium

    Here is some constructive feedback for the organisers so that they can work on it and the next tournament can be better.. this was one of the most chaotic and disorganised tournament I’ve ever been to.. 1. exorbitant entry fees of 1000 per event but basic facilities were not provided 2. Team kumite was 4000 on the invitation but they made last moment change and raised the fees to 5000 3. Shihan bharat Sharma made an announcement right in the middle of the bouts that wkf rules will be followed strictly which meant that competitors had to wear shin guards instep guards gum Shields chest guards groin guards.. some competitors were disqualified from the ring for not having this gear in spite of paying the entry fees 4. the moment the announcement was made competitiors started scampering around for equipment and the protective equipment seller who. had put up a stall at the stadium raised the prices as high as 5 imes… example a 20 Rs worth gum shield was being sold at Rs 100 and 400 Rs chest guard was being sold at 1500 5. though it ws announced that strict wkf rules were followed with regard to. equipment. the fights were only of one minute duration.. which was violation of wkf rules. even before. the. competitors could. realise the fight has started they came to. an end with a blink of an eye.. scoring legitimate techniques was never possible with the one minute flights 6. the hugely announced grand championship fight with 35000 cash prize was never conducted.. 7. spectators and people freely roamed around on the match arena and the organisers had no control. whatsoever on the crowd. 8. there were some. great talented fighters but it was a.n unfair deal for. most of them because of the lack of planning and systematic aproach most of the competitors were disappointed that they didn’t even get a fair deal… Rs. 1000.entry fee for a fight of 1 minute?? RIDICULUOUSLY HIGH.. the strict WKF rules mentioned in this article was only to increase protective equipment sales.. we could. hardly see any rules applied in the matches I’m. sure the organisers will take this feedback which will help them. organise the next tournament in a better way.. and we will see much more happy karatekas

  • From shAIKh moHD rizwan on Mangaluru: Ganja being Smuggled to Dubai Seized at Airport - 2 Held, Car Seized

    Transfer of Punjab Officer Who Questioned Minister in Drugs Case Revoked http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/transfer-of-punjab-officer-who-questioned-minister-in-drugs-case-revoked-1243465 The Enforcement Directorate has summoned Punjab Revenue Minister Bikram Singh Majithia in a Rs. 6,000-crore international synthetic drug case — a development which could have a bearing on relations between the BJP and its ally, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD). The Enforcement Directorate has revoked the transfer of its Assistant Director Niranjan Singh posted at Jallandhar zonal office. Mr Singh was transferred to Kolkata on January 16, days after he questioned Punjab minister Bikram Majithia, a relative of Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, in the Rs. 6,000 synthetic drug racket case. It was alleged that the officer was transferred to weaken the case as it was at a crucial stage. The Enforcement Directorate, which investigates financial crimes, has already filed the chargesheet in the case followed by a couple of supplementary chargesheets. The younger brother of Union minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal, wife of Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal, Mr Majithia faces allegations of having links with non-resident Indians accused of international money laundering related to the drugs racket. Is PM Modi’s government is afraid of losing an ally in Punjab assembly elections? Why state Governor has not revoked the transfer of an officer in crucial case? Is BJP is the part of synthetic drug mafia? Jai Hind

Also, I noticed that Mr.Vaasudeva and Mr.Karnik are seen in these events on regular basis. Clearly, they are showing true leadership unlike many others who show up only for ‘udghaatana samaarambha’ events. As usual, other political leaders especially from ruling party are missing here. No surprises there!! Finally, these monks from Raamakrishna aashrama deserve all the credit. Week after week, they are doing such a great job!!

    Good. New Mosques even in small towns show how sanaathana Bharatha continues to be a very tolerant-Atheist Mr.Original Sir,The Sanatan Dharma is tolerant since ages and different faith has lived in peace.Ever since Pakistani born LK Advani took the bloody wheels of RathYatra and sowed the seeds of hate secularism is started to disintegrate. Once religious coexisted and lived together as ‘vasudev kutumbakam’,with the demolition of Babri Masjid foundation of unity has collapsed forever. In pogrom of Godhra under CM Modi another 500 mosques including heritage was brought down along with 2,000 deaths. The ‘Godhra model’ which began in Dang district against Christians was successfully implemented with pre prepared list of Muslim establishments to attacked even before Godhra went to into flame. Then comes the ‘Gaurav yatra’ which made him then Muzaffarnagar carnage to become PM of India. Today VHP calls for Ram Mandir in every village of India.PM Modi’s dream project of ‘Toilet before temple’ gets flushed down the drain.Then Subramanya Swami brings Ram Mandir issue again associating Lord Krishna as marketing tool. There are one after another lynching in Modi’s India.A very good ‘development’ promised under ‘good governance’. Mr.Original,Is so called social organisation of RSS is sanatana Dharma or representative of Hindus? Why is BJP ‘intolerant’ on Babri Masjid issue even before supreme court verdict? Is 2017 UP elections has something to do with Lord Rama in Ayodhya? Jai Hind

    Dear readers, To my surprise there are no defamation suit filed by Former CM Yeddyurappa in the whole matter. In the past a magistrate’s court in the Chief Minister’s home district of Shimoga has ordered a fresh police report, by March 31, into the death of Yeddyurappa’s wife under mysterious circumstances at their home in Shimoga on October 16, 2004. Wife’s death returns to haunt Yeddyurappa http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/wifes-death-returns-to-haunt-yeddyurappa/418129/ The magistrate court directive has come on the basis of a complaint filed by an advocate, R Sheshadri, who has raised questions about how an adult could have slipped into an underground water sump with a narrow opening while trying to fetch water. This news won’t surprise me from party of difference BJP whose ‘Pradhan sevak’ embroiled in ‘Madurai Gate’.In other hand debut BJP government in karnataka is watching porn in the question hour.while there minister found in Chumma,rape of friends wife,love sex dhokha aur suicide and some Bhat even found in explicit video.

  • From shaiKH moHd rizwan on New Delhi: Logo of 'Make in India' Designed by Firm of Foreign Origin, RTI Query Reveals

    Dear readers, Now RTI has even revealed that ‘make in India’ logo is also not Indian origin, after sucking the the cheap labour to serve the Multinational companies interest. This news is making the round in the past that Modi’s government made trade in with ‘Swiss bank’s original ad campaign. This is in fact the campaign for the Cantonal Bank of Zurich in Switzerland, and the artwork has been designed by Swiss designer Nadine Geissbülher. It was formally launched almost a year before we launched ‘Make in India.’ The Indian campaign was launched in September 2014 to profile India as a global manufacturing prowess. The ‘Make In India’ Logo Might Be A Copy Of This Swiss Bank’s Ad Campaign http://www.indiatimes.com/news/india/the-make-in-india-logo-might-be-a-copy-of-this-swiss-banks-ad-campaign-233193.html https://mobile.twitter.com/zkb_ch/status/603455085180497920/photo/1 It was later presented on the ‘Make In India’ tableau on January 26 in the Republic Day parade, which was attended by US President Barack Obama.The Supreme Court slammed the Union government today for spending crores on the Republic Day parade but delaying the payment of compensation to farmers for land acquired from them.
    SC slams Centre: 100 Crore for R-Day parade, but no compensation to farmers
    “You spend Rs. 100 crores on Republic Day parade but when it comes to payment of compensation to farmers, you file appeals,” Chief Justice HL Dattu told the Centre. This is the same government which stole Mahatma Gandhi ‘Goggles’ and rebranded his mission of clean India into ‘Swachh Bharat’ to end Gandhi legacy. Jai hind

  • From shaiKH moHd rizwan on Aamir Khan's film 'Dangal' deserves 'treatment': BJP leader

    Dear readers, The hullaballoo which followed Aamir khan statement on the eve of an award function exposes the vested upper caste long due grudge against the Minority community. If we scrutinize the comments made against Aamar, majority are upper caste Hindus who want non Hindus to adopt their line otherwise any opposition to them will cost in terms of sullying image, prestige and ultimately threatening eviction from the country. Aamir just spoke what number of intellectual, writers, actors and scientist has been saying since the new Government took power at the Centre. Instead of reaching out to them, they brand them anti national and anti Government. What is noteworthy is that during the process of returning awards right from President Pranab Mukherjee to industrialists Narayan Murthy, Kiran Majumdar Shaw and RBI governor Raghuram Rajan all stated that there is a growing atmosphere of intolerance. Interestingly only Muslim icons were chosen for the intense attacks, doubting their patriotism! Those non Muslims were dubbed as being motivated by political reasons. None dared take on Presidents’ observations. So what does this indicate? Aamir Khan correctly pointed out that response to his statement does finally prove that there is growing intolerance, if at all there was some doubt about it. The differential response to Muslims statements and similar statements made by non Muslims gives the game away and tells us the type of mindset the RSS affiliates; the followers of Hindu nationalism and their followers have. One recalls that in the wake of acts of terror like Mecca Masjid, Malegaon, Ajmer and Samjhauta Express; number of Muslim youth was being arrested recklessly. After Hemant Karakare’s investigation showed that it was the Hindutva groups with Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, Lt Col Purohit, Major Upadhayay and Swami Aseemanand; who have role in those acts of blast; the arrest of Muslim youth got a respite. This is what currently Naseeruddin Shah said that lately he is being made aware of his Muslim identity. And on similar vein Julio Rebeiro said that ‘as a Christian suddenly I am a stranger in my own country’. Let the country accommodate all the views, let it remain a democratic country and do not allow this country to become totalitarian state.Needless to say we do need a course correction and those following the politics in the name of religion need to be countered to preserve our democratic-plural values. With the growing ‘intolerance’ being Muslim critics Mumbai Police has downgraded security cover for superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan and scrapped it for some others following an audit on threat perceptions. Whereas government still able bear the bills proving Z plus security for Ramdev and Sangeet som whose survival are critical for its own existence. Now the BJP general secretary and one of the old stalwart from BJP is issuing statements.While our PM Modi globetrotting like Christopher Columbus in urge has taken voyage to find the globe is round. In other hand PM Modi’s long silence on ever growing communal violence turned ‘incredible India’ into ‘intolerant India’. Now it is official released that,’Dangal’ will be next target from the ‘Bharatiya Danga Party’ once again shining India. Jai Hind

    Lol! This goes on to show that intolerance is ONLY rising despite Yumreeki Murudeshwara Rampai doing 2 & a 1/2 reverse somersaults to show otherwise. So a man cannot speak whats on his mind, eh? Since when did India become some Afghanistan or some fascist state? Oh! That’s easy to answer. I guess the seed was planted sometime on 26th May 2014 and today marks exactly the 600th day! And boy! That tiny seed has grown into a giant Sequoia! People get lynched JUST because some blest sadhu-sanyasi (or otherwise) holier-than-thou Dhogla Chaddi in Rampai’s ‘Sanaatana Bharatha’ (God alone what that is supposed to mean ya Murudu Rampai) MERELY suspects that somebody has a Cow mooing in his fridge and his BBQ grill is ‘warming up’. People get beaten up by some mindless & jobless mindless Chaddi goons JUST they THINK that somebody possesses beef. Some Paki is granted Indian citizenship and sings praises saying India is ‘tolerant’. Some Bengali says the same. Our Murudu Rampa is convinced. He bleats the SAME. Lol! What a joker! But then, he makes my day – EVERYDAY! 🙂 Jai Murudu Rampai Ki. Jai Murudeshwara Ki. 🙂

  • From Original R.Pai on Comedian Kiku Sharda arrested; sent to 14-day judicial remand

    A real secular, progressive intellectual or journalist would see no difference between this incident and Kamalesha Tiwaari incident. Both incidents are a huge embarrassment to true rational, secular people. Don’t expect any honesty from beef club filled with religious bigots from minority groups.

    Joker Praveena Pinto has reading challenges. I wrote sanaathana, not santaana!! Also, he clearly doesn’t know what the term ‘regressive’ stands for. In today’s political discourse, the term ‘regressive left’ is used to refer to certain types of groups. As usual, he uses this term in a wrong way without even know what it stands for!! LOL Hint: Read more about Majeed Nawaaz or Sam Harris. This may help you understand these things better!! LOL

In today’s political discourse, the term ‘regressive left’ is used to refer to certain types of groups. – Maha Joker Murudeshwara Rampai Lol! After yammering incessantly about his beloved Murudeshwara (I wonder why nobody gave him some Nobel Prize… don’t ask me for what exactly) he now proceeds to explain the political epithet “regressive left/groups” to me. And hey, aren’t YOU the same chap who ACTUALLY believes that an idiom must be qualified? Eg: Remember when your comrade TJ Abru said something about some 200 packets of Biryani for Muslims and some 20 packets for Christians and I pointed out to you that a figure is definitely NOT needed? God alone knows what that misguided Abru was hallucinating about, because, by the razor-sharp crease of your Dhogla Khaki Chaddi, nobody has handed-out no goddamn biryani to me. And yet, our Murudeshwara Rampa lapped it up and further went on to repeat it – just like his ‘Murudeshwara’. Btw, take a look at what your ‘tolerant’ chaddi bros are up to: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/meerut/Cow-slaughter-being-used-to-target-us-says-pacer-Shamis-dad/articleshow/50597072.cms Very tolerant, eh?

As per some ancient texts… which go way way back beyond your fav 7th century – isn’t time supposed to be cyclic for you? You’re gonna be reborn, right? So, why worry about somebody else’s “death”? EVERY third sentence in 1 1/2 post of yours refers to ‘Sanathana Dharma’ and TALKS about WHAT would/happen IF some non-sanathana dharma (Thank God you don’t refer to them as normal Hindus – you know… people – ALL indians living this side of some mountains are Hindus.)

    Amma’s love towards mankind is unconditional. The true meaning of Love is Amma’s Love to the mankind. -Ms.Kumuda Gatty Respected madam, For entire mankind only unconditional love is from their own biological parents. They are always with you any circumstances. There is no comparison to the parents with this man made ‘Amma’. With the absence of tough Anti superstition laws the void is filled by Amma,Baba,tantrik etc. who exploit the innocents day in and out. A former close aide of spiritual leader Mata Amritanandamayi has come out with a book which narrates tales of alleged sexual exploitation and abuse in the ashram.The Hugging Saint’s PA turns whistleblower with a new book that lists sexual abuse and corruption as foundation for the spiritual mega-empire. “Holy hell: A Memoir of Faith, Devotion and Pure Madness” -Gail ‘Gayatri’ Tredwell Tredwell alleged that one of the ashram colleagues had sexually exploited her and such repeated abuse eroded her faith. Her memoir contains details of alleged promiscuity among ashram members.Mata Amritanandmayi — the guru at the helm of a global spiritual empire that some reports estimate receives $20 million in donation every year — Gail ‘Gayatri’ Tredwell was by her side. The memories of self-styled godwoman Radhe Maa Obscene pictures go viral who hails from Mumbai claimed that Radhe Maa is a fan of Sunny Leone.Then magic baba from Puttaparthi,levitating baba Nityanand bedtime story,Nagina baba and Egg.Baba of Haryana are few examples to protect our young from deviating. Under the falsehood of Godman they are enjoying the luxuries of life with donations received from all over the world. Strict tax enforcement act and political backing due to large support base has made grow into empires. In the olden days each house has ‘Devar Kone'(God room) where families used to worship together in the evening.There are room for such personalities to exist.As India became more digital more and more youth become victim of day time robbery.

I really very much happy to see Dr. Veerendra Heggade in Amma’s function in Mangalore. The people who experienced her love will understand this. I think she is reincarnation of Matha Sharada Devi. She proved herself the real Jnana comes from spirituality not from materialistic education… Jai Maa… there are no words to define my Beloved Amma…

But they using the name of Dr Ambedkar and threw the Indian constitution under the carpet. Let say RSS swayamsevaks will be buried according to ChristianMuslim rites to save environment from burning the logs. They will also allowed to wear like Sikh turban to protect there ‘shendi’ from sunburn. Walk like a jains without cloths. Beg like Buddhist and marry like Muslim. By the why are you worried about other religious practices since you are openly proclaiming as ‘Atheist’? You have no religion.Will you donate your corpse to medical research?

    How could you identify a Dalit or non-dalit? Are you going to test the blood of all entrants to the temple and whether such test would reveal the identify of a Dalit? This caste system was created long ago by the powerful and the privileged to suppress the poor and less powerful to achieve their self interest and hope a day will come when all persons are treated alike by virtue of what they are and not who they are. It is high time that temples and other institutions who discriminated against so called dalits and other backward classes must make amends to neutralize their past sins.

This vehicle looks like a ‘Lottery ticket’ or ‘Yakshagana’ publicity in my old days. when we were kids there is guy with drum go to each colony read the notice. Is India going Digital or backward? Respected Annamalai Sir, The best way to make the impact of awareness is by connecting to the masses. There are many local TV channels,use the slot in most modern way. Drop the leaflet with emergency numbers to each residence in your jurisdiction.Increase the night patrols.Reward the informers.Check the efficiency of intelligence inputs.Organise multi faith Janata darbar and address the grievances. Above all put an end to the communal violence,religious hatred and zero tolerance to the political interference. For any development of the nation peace is the important factor.

  • From sHAIkh moHd rizwan on Bengaluru: HC quashes all FIRs against Yeddyurappa in land denotification cases

    They want ONLY rich Christian countries – to live and procreate like Rabbits.-Mr.Praveen Sir,The 1951 UNHCR Convention drafted relating to the Status of Refugees defining who is a refugee, their rights and the legal obligations of states.The 1967 Protocol removed geographical and temporal restrictions from the Convention. To make your misunderstanding clear,there are no boundaries set on the religious line for refugees. Where it comes richness of ‘Christian’ countries you mentioned,go back to the history of colonial period which they occupied 90% of the globe. To date there are many Christian black countries in Africa are forced to pay taxes Which can’t feed its own people. For Europe, the immediate outlook “doesn’t look very positive,” according to Angus Deaton, the winner of this year’s Nobel economics prize.Take the example of Greece one of the worst debtor before the refugees set in.Norway,Switzerland,Germany,UK are very few countries can withstand the current economic crisis.In order recover the economic turmoil they have already started recolonised the African countries.Once prosperous nation of Libya has already invaded by France and entire north Africa risk of terror. They have not only removed the dictator,but billions of Gold bullion and oil money is been grabbed.Today Libya and Iraq are performing worse than when it is run by dictators.Let’s forget the ‘weapons of mass destruction’,’axis of evil’,’ chemical weapon’ and supply weapons for mass destruction as long as perfection of weapons prove killing more innocents. Praveen Sir,What is the point of “richness” when your own neighbour go hunger? The destiny of refugee can be tommorrow can be anyone’s fate no matter there are no wars but natural calamity alone being considered. You have full privilege to post and enjoy the plight of destiny of someone in distress. Dude you need to grow up and stop being such a “man child”. Hope almighty show you the right path and ability to understand the means of humanity. Jai Hind

And THERE you go about calling me a “man child”! And the Daesh wouldn’t have posed their kids toting deadly assault rifles Jeez! And you are quite OK with that! Are you for real, man? Btw, did Norway & Switzerland have any colonies? They have not only removed the dictator,but billions of Gold bullion and oil money is been grabbed. – Mr. Shaikh Well, any proof about that? Wasn’t that much beloved Dictator called Muammar Gaddafi supposed to sit pretty on something like 200 Billion USD? And hey, have you heard about his pretty and prettier girley-girleys? Now, that is sitting or squatting pretty on some mighty booty, eh? 😉 Hmmm… so black Christian countries pay taxes, eh? If the citizens don’t pay their taxes, who will? Gaddafi’s billions? Saddam’s minions with their billions? Or Praveena? And those taxes can’t feed the local populace, eh? Well, they could use some skilled labor. The migrants could look towards Aaaaprica too. What say? Praveen Sir,What is the point of “richness” when your own neighbour go hunger? – Mr. Shaikh Umm… that q could be better answered by the GCC. But then, you know – you NEVER know whom you let into your backyard these days. Those jehadi’s are hell bent on getting their promised gifts in ‘heaven’. And by Kaboom… they will do it – JUSt to get there, and never mind the fact that THAT notion is STRANGER than the movie -The Martian’ winning an award for the BEST COMEDY MOVIE.

Thanks to a technicality in counting refugees, hundreds of outlets from Amnesty International to the Brookings Institution have claimed that Saudi Arabia has taken zero refugees–a ludicrous, but rarely fact-checked statement given the comical lack of a “Great Arabian Wall.” Western Media’s Miscount of Saudi Arabia’s Syrian Refugees http://www.huffingtonpost.com/anhvinh-doanvo/europes-crisis-refugees_b_8175924.html Syria’s refugee crisis in numbers https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2015/09/syrias-refugee-crisis-in-numbers/ With Saudi Arabia’s non-signatory status, the Syrians residing in Saudi Arabia are classified as “Arab brothers and sisters in distress” instead of refugees covered by UN treaties. According to Nabil Othman, the UNHCR regional representative to the Gulf region, there were 500,000 Syrian refugees in Saudi Arabia at the time of his statement. The government itself of Saudi Arabia has stated that it has, over the past five years since the start of the conflict hosted 2.5 million refugees. Because the noted treaties establish treatment standards for refugees, some might raise concerns regarding the conditions that Saudi Arabia’s refugees may be living in. However, Al-Arabiya, a news outlet based in the UAE, has noted that “Saudi authorities granted Syrians the right of residency and work, and provided them with education and health services for free.” According to the Saudi government, over 100,000 children are currently receiving education in the country’s schools. Saudi Arabia is not alone in attempts to provide education for the refugees, with Lebanon now providing schooling for another 100,000 child refugees. This entire matter has been quite illustrative of the pitiful proliferation of modern-day yellow journalism, where even the most bizarre misconceptions are palatable enough to become part of mainstream political debates. Kindly request you authenticate your claims with valid source, instead of spreading misconception. Also do not link the refugee crisis with religion but equate with humanity.Only human can understand the pain of human better with the superior power Almighty has given to us. My lectures may not be worth reading but it do contains valid references. Jai Hind

  • From A. S. Mathew on Mangaluru: World Class Railway Station, False Promise - MLC Ivan D'Souza

    The New Minister of Railway after shifting the first Minister from Karnataka to law due to his failure to bring billions of dollars for the Railway in 100 days, stated that it takes $ 500 billion dollars to modernize the dilapidated railway system of India. Mr. Modi through his pompous political rhetoric and glorious foreign travel, with a red carpet welcome inviting foreign investment in India with 100% ownership didn’t bring anybody so far. Even in good times, how the investors would be dared to invest in India with red tape-high level corruption and terribly broken infrastructure added with the fear of losing the head for eating beef. Now the nations and corporations of the world are in deeper trouble. Oil stock crash around the world, mainly in the U.S. 60%. 70% of the stock holders lost money last year, even the tech stocks are showing alarming decline. So, the red carpet will be fading and the railway promise will be remaining as a promise for ever.

  • From sHAIKh MohD rizwan on Bengaluru: HC quashes all FIRs against Yeddyurappa in land denotification cases

    When full fledged Karnataka government formed by BJP under Yadiyurappa’s leadership and winning so many subsequent by elections, congress wanted to check mate BJP. -Mr.Ravi Muscat Sir, The debut Yeddyurappa government in Karnataka formed through ‘operational Kamala’ buying MLA from Reddy’s illicit money. BJP government came to power due to compulsion of Kannadigas who want teach Gowdas betrayal after holy wedding. Citizens of Karnataka is voted BJP for change.But without couple month in power they have showed the other side of coin by attacking Churches. Most of the assembly is held in ‘RESORTS’ ,whenever there are its MLA’s are glued to mobiles watching porn. When farmers are suiciding Yeddy is busy with denotification of lands. he can stake the claim of being the single-most harassed chief minister, perpetually besieged by either from Governor H R Bhardwaj, the BJP headquarters-backed factions, the Reddy brothers or his own children’s predilection for illegally acquiring Bangalore Development Authority plots. He’s had so many occasions to weep that Yeddyurappa has often seemed less CM than a overwrought patriarch in a Kannada serial – without the glycerin. Kannadigas must be enjoying ‘Good governance’ even before Modi promised. Despite 3 Chief Minister and 2 Deputy Chief minister they can’t deliver ‘Aache Din’. Reddy went to jail and Kamala Withered. How can you blame for Congress for BJP,when there own ministers found in Chumma,raping friends wife,Shadi sex dokha, explicit movie addicts? Now all cases against Denotification is dropped,now stakes for next CM post is clear. Jai Hind

Team members including, Rihai Manch spokesperson Rajiv Yadav, Samkaleen magazine journalist Abhishek Srivastav, Delhi High Court lawyer Anand Mishra, activist Salim Baig, Riahi Manch leaders Sharad Jaiswal, Anil Yadav and Pananani Anand met a cross-section of society in the town and came to conclusion that police version had gaping holes. Delhi police which falls under the Central Home ministry busy framing Muslims of India in falls terror cases. This is the same ministry asked the High court prosecutor to ‘GO SLOW’ on saffron terror despite the strong connections. In BJP ruled states PIL has been rejected when the number of Muslims held without charges.In many cases young Muslim educated youths are picked and tortured and later acquitted ruing there careers forever without any compensation.It may be Hubli terror plot,Akshardham temple or Hizbul operative in Kashmir has turned to be false.

    TN and DK as Centre lifts Ban on Jallikattu and Kambala Sports-Reports. Dear readers, Is Modi’s India will also consider introducing a blood sport of Spain in which bullfight usually concludes with the killing of the bull by a single sword thrust?Within the areas where it is practiced, it is not considered a sport but a cultural event and art form. In BJP ruled India human ‘Lynching’ is become common sport,were innocent is sacrificed to maintain the sanctity of Gow matha.’Pink revolution’ has become major foreign exchange for budget deficit government. I would expected the Animal right activist BJP MP Menka Gandhi would release statement condemning the government action.Well when she can’t control his son’s slur language, will she able to protect bulls of India? Sab Ka saath,sabka vikas. Beef is banned. Bull-taming and export continues. Jai Hind

    In response to the article a question is what about the on line booking system? With a number of people in India using smart phones, computers and laptops the Railways should encourage and better the on line booking system. Since your article said there was a senior and a woman with kids, may be the third window at Mangalore Central station could be used to serve seniors, handicapped persons and thise with small children. This may help in the flow of reservations and be more customer friendly to make Mangalore Central a world class station.

(Syria, Iraq, Africa, Afghanistan etc). If it doesn’t come to that, well, they could all be in a ghetto! They don’t want to ‘migrate’ to Pak or Bangladesh or Indonesia or Brunei or the Gulf states. No brotherly/sisterly bhai-bhai feeling out there, I guess! They want ONLY rich Christian countries – to live and procreate like Rabbits. Agreed, most of them are clean and not tainted by that plague called ISIS/Daesh and are fleeing unimaginable atrocities – all thanks to that long-beard who calls himself …. er…. err.. Caliph! Lol!

  • From Ravi Muscat on Bengaluru: HC quashes all FIRs against Yeddyurappa in land denotification cases

    The true story is like this: When full fledged Karnataka government formed by BJP under Yadiyurappa’s leadership and winning so many subsequent by elections, congress wanted to check mate BJP. It was clear when it appointed notorious Bharadwaj (who had allowed Quttrochi case to let loose) that he is going to trouble Yaddi. Everyday there was one or the other issue and he was biting Yaddi. Yaddi lost concentration on controlling the administration and spent most of time thinking how to tackle the governor. Actually chief minister and governor together should work for the people of state but unfortunately congress choose other way. One led to other, so many cases filed against Yaddi and finally he need had to resign and that was dooming BJP. Now that all FIRs got cancelled, will congress apologise to Yaddi? Any ‘intolerant’ people will voice now? I am not at all a fan of Yaddi but want to reflect what was the root cause of BJP downfall in the state. Jai congress!!!!!! You are beautifully cunning!!!!!

  • From A. S. Mathew on Mangaluru: Dalits will be Allowed in Krishna Math on Paryaya - Sri Vishvesha Tirtha Swamiji

    When I watched the color discrimination in the U.S. close to half a century back in the same religion, I had the worst shock of life. The Missionaries went to Africa to preach about a loving GOD, but here they were widely separated by a wall of color. At the time of blood transfusion, the patients don’t have the least idea whether the blood is taken from a black-white-brown or yellow person. When I did attend the Black Churches, some of my Indian friends were looking at me as if I was mentally disoriented. Former Indian President Dr. K.R. Narayan in his life story stated, while he was in school, the Hindu children don’t want to sit close to him. The Muslim and Christian boys were sitting close to him. Is there any difference in the social psychology of the boys of different religions? No, they were taught these issues at home, so they will be reacting at the schools. It is a great step in the right direction that Swamiji is taking solid steps so that the Dalits will be sitting and eating with the so called higher caste people of Hinduism.

All caste system should be destroyed not only in Karnaktak, but all over India. This may take atleast 1000000 years or beyond or may not destroy. History can’t be corrected.

He would have been banned by today’s illiterate crowds masquerading as journalists, activists and intellectuals. Remember – Swami Vivekananda was witnessing what these groups were doing!! There was no multi-multiculturalism in Europe or middle-east. Only in India, all different groups and religions were living without trying to destroy each other. It was only due to the tolerance taught by sanathana dharma.

        Dear Mr. B.N. Pai: This beef issue encroaching the fundamental right of the citizens of India through playing the religious card has fractured the nation already. Mr. Modi has stated that he is a great disciple of Swami Vivekandanda; if so, he might have read some books of Swami Vivekananda indicating what you have stated that the Vedic Brahmins used to eat beef, also there could not be a Brahmin who didn’t eat beef. The BJP administration’s main goal is to transform India as a vegetarian country as if the national emergency.
