  • From shaikH MOhD rizwtan on Bengaluru: Raid on Indecent Dance Show in 'Family' Restaurant - 16 Arrested, 26 Girls Rescued

    The real questions here should be – Were these girls adults or minor?-Mr.Original Pai Dear readers, Our Mr.Original is more concern about the legality of age for his private Entertainment. I hope RSS religious turned fake atheist will have something to say this, may he is busy cleaning in US and claiming to be an Apple consultant. I doubt that with limited knowledge he can be a consultant. He can lie isn’t, his master Golwalkar lied a lot and deceived the nation what is there for him to spread lies. I hope his taste don’t exceed like his Pradhan sevak behind private in coal gate. If ever started enjoying ‘Belly dancing ‘ he will have more private party. What we can expect from RSS thugs who enjoy just posting selfie with daughter while his own master has record of stocking others daughters? Jai hind

  • From shaikH MOhD rizwtan on Mangaluru: Karnataka to be Deaf Free State - Minister U T Khader

    Dear readers, My sincere advice to Health and Family Welfare Minister Mr. U T Khader, to introduced new schemes to far reached Hyderabad Karnataka border areas rather than better health covered undivided Canara. Also his government should tie-up with private and government medical colleges to run health camps in rural Karnataka.Diabetic is one of the silent killer in India, which his government need immediate attention. I would also suggest to have understanding with drugs companies to have research centers, bio sample labs,endemic disease rapid action controls. The state government should also set up high tech medical Equipment manufacturing facility with German and Japan manufacturers. He should personally take advice from the best health care countries such as UK,Switzerland and Sweden. It is advisable to cover health care insurance to below poverty line of needy Kannadigas. Jai hind

    Sri Modiji came to power in 2014. You want him to fix every problem in a year? -Mr.Original Pai to Mr.Praveen Sir, Well Pregnancy in women has confirm delivery date. However since Modi sarkar came to power everything including “shocking admission” by BJP chief Amit Shah that the promise to deposit Rs 15 lakh in bank account of every family was just an ‘Jumala'(electoral gimmick). What are action taken by Narendra Modi against corruption? Nothing- on the contrary he is supporting corruption…how can you fight against your bankers (companies who give BJP funding for advertising in public elections). He has not even taken action against Robert Vadra (who looted farmers land) but decided to provide him Z+ security Ramdev, Mohan Madhukar Bhagawat and Sangeet som on tax payer’s money off course and provided travel documents to Lalit Modi who embezzled Rs.7 Billion “humane” nature and “nationalistic” spirit. A PM on globetrotting says Na Khaunga, Na Khane Dunga! his ‘Zero’ tolerance against corruption. Modiji Phir Itne Toilets Ki Kya Jarurat? And guess who has he arrested – young students/professionals for small jokes against him on social media, with corrupt politicians and others ………sit next to him in parliament. He decided to increase the rail fare by over 14.2% within 29 days, while Indian Railway lost 5000 Crores because of corruption by Iron Ore exporters. He is for the CORPORATE WORLD…and people who still can not see that are stupid. It won’t surprise me seeing Nalin Kumar cutting ribbons……… having affairs and devoted his time to ‘Virat Hindu Samajotsava.Like pradhan sevaks his followers Na boloonga, Na bol ne doonga. Jai Hind

      Sharia Shaikh – Your rambling makes no sense. Let’s make this very simple. Let’s see if you can answer these simple questions: 1. Do you think that Pakistan is engaged in anti-Indian activities ? 2. Do you think Dawood Ibrahim is India’s enemy ? 3. Do you think Pak was behind 26/11 mumbai attacks? 4. Do you think Pincode Pai is a Pagan and he worships false gods?

    Reminded me of old kannada ‘mohini’ stories while growing up.. For some reason, the ‘malenaadu’ area provides a perfect setting for these ‘ghost’ or ‘nigooda prakarana (mysterious incidents) thrillers!! Now that I am talking about thrillers and malenaadu, I recommend an old kannada movie for those interested – ‘Hendathige helabedi’ by Ananth Naag. Watch it if you get a chance!!

Watch Bill Maher, listen to Bing Cosby or Billy Ray Cyrus. Light arathis for Kim Kardashian and her rapper hubby who lists very high on that pathetic list of ‘Most Influential People’. … yes.. the very same fellow who can sing with his jaw wired SHUT! Adore Rihanna. Lip synch with Britney Spears. …… do some pranayama.. Indulge in some Yoga-Bhoga. Read and ‘gili-bypaata’ GoalMaalakara’s hate books….maybe read a bit of Jane Austen if you can comprehend text beyond a line or two…… JUST do it ya Rampa. 🙂

  • From Original R.Pai on Bengaluru: Raid on Indecent Dance Show in 'Family' Restaurant - 16 Arrested, 26 Girls Rescued

    Indecent, vulgar dancing? Who defines what is vulgar and indecent? If BJP is in power, this would be branded as ‘moral policing’ (literally!!). Remember – If Sharia Pandita and his tribal groups have their way, even Bharata naatyam will be considered very indecent and you will invite a harsh prison sentence if not capital punishment!! The real questions here should be – Were these girls adults or minor? Were they forced to do it or were they doing it voluntarily to earn a living? Did the restaurant have the legal licence to run this business or not? We don’t have any business telling adults on what they choose to do in their privacy.

        I’ve no opposition to Belly dance as long as the dancer is not a minor and not forced to perform. In fact, as a mridangam player, I find the ‘darbuka’ beats for belly dance very rhythmic and appealing. Here is the mridangam ‘nadai’ closest to darbuka beats – tha ki ta tha kita tha ka || Smiles…

Keep banging away on yr Mridu. Your jokes (thru yr Mridingam) are keeping me awake. :):) I got some 30,000 Rs. offer for my TV (1984 make – Dianora brand or Dyspepsia… I can’t remember) and CD’s, PS3 and set top box. Should I sell it off ya Rampa? Good price no? No No.. no radio sale. I need to LISTEN to MORE jokes from our Podi’ji whenever he comes back and expresses his Mann ki Baat. Till then, let us have YOUR Mann Ki Baat, yaar. Don’t disappoint me ya Rampu.

      Or, does he need a kick from Pradhaana sevaka before doing something productive? – Original Rampa on Nalin Kumar Err Rampa, MAYBE it should be the OTHER way round? You see, our 56 Inch Emperor is almost on the verge of getting NRI status. He has been out of the country so often extending lines-of-credit left, right and centre straight that he can’t even remember his address, PAN card and Aadhar Card nos. He and his chamchas went on and on about they would get back black money within 100 days and disburse approx. 15 Lacs to each and every Indian (Unfortunately, you were excluded ya Rampa because you did padhrad to the West many years back). He and his shameless coterie of manthris said that they would bring back Dawood Ibrahim, try him and tar and feather him and parade him around the ‘Laal Kila’. The Pradhana Sevaka went on and on like a broken record muttering – “Na Khaaoonga, Na Khilane Doonga”. And the results EVEN after almost 14 months………..? Shoonya ya Rampa. When will he ever do anything productive besides give speeches and distributing Dhoklas from Mongolia to Mauritania? No 15 lacs in my account…. Dawood Ibru is playing Golf in Karachi and Dubai and Sushma, Vasu raje, Vyapam accused are all busy ‘Khaaoing’. So just think over what I said ya RampaNNA. I know you don’t like it when somebody points fingers at your Lord and master. But then, I always believe in calling a Rampa a RAMPA. Jai Rampa’ji Ki. Jai ‘productive’ Pradhana Sevaka Ki.

I guess it’s a refreshing change compared to low expectations we had from your congress party!! And, why are you worried about his visits to different countries to consolidate and solidify our alliance with different key international players? Your rejected US visa experience and years spent in Saudi farms don’t necessarily make you an expert on international politics. LOL

          Sri Modiji came to power in 2014. You want him to fix every problem in a year? – PyareLallu Rampu Arre Rampu, Forget about a year ya Rampa. EVEN before he came to power, he cuckolded the gullible masses by promising the following: 1. Return of Black money (from ‘phoreen’ op coj) within 100 days and then distributing it WITHIN 150 days to all citizens of India (MINUS you, op coj). 2. The arrest of your best friend – Dawooda Ibraheema. (The fellow is still playing Golf in Karachi and sipping his cognac with impunity everywhere else EXCEPT in India). 3. The Pradhana Sevaka said he would not take bribes or EVEN allow his chamchas to take them. As sure as you are wearing dhogla chaddis and he is feasting on dhoklas, his party members are feasting, eating and making merry. (As compared to our PM distributing money to even Mongolians while our ex-servicemen are crying for equitable pensions). The PM had promised to pass the OROP bill EVEN before he came to power. What has happened EVEN after 14 months? More ‘phoreen’ trips? Signing MoU’s with Mongolia and lending them money…. err.. what for? Shaking hands with Nawaz Shareef and handing over Lakhvi’s voice samples for the N+1th time? Voicing rhetoric from ‘MaddySon’ square to Nehru maidan? Reminding people like you how ASHAMED Indians were to be born in India so that they could run away to some ‘phoreen’ land to earn a few cents more? Arre Rampa.. he has been asking people to “Make in India”. At least make a TRIP to India if you can’t do anything more. Spend a few paisas. I’m quite sure that banks such as JP Morgan Chase Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citigroup etc won’t mind a bit when you spend a few paisas in India. Modi NEEDS YOU ya Rampu. 🙂 So, what are YOU waiting for ya Rampa? bale.. Bale… bega India’g bale. Btw, did you get any proof regarding my allegedly rejected US visa? Did you contact your favourite joint – Mangalooru Vimaana Nildhana Customs officials? Grow up ya Rampa.

You know ya Rampa, you remind me of that Joker called Idi Amin who conferred titles on himself such as – “His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular”, in addition to his officially-stated claim of being the uncrowned King of Scotland The other day all I said was something like -“Finally, Rampa has started believing in God” and there you go giving certificates to yourself such as “God-fearing, religious guy” etc. Good joke ya Rampa.

  • From Brian on Mangaluru: Milagreans Celebrate 'Institution Day' Singing 'Ave Maria' to their Patroness

    Thank you Alfie for all that information. Expanding on the statement in the article: “Milagres school was founded by Bishop Bernadin in 1848” – According to catholic-hierarchy.org, Bernardo (Philip) Pontanova, O.C.D. was officially the Titular Bishop of Tanis. Appointed 6 May 1845, ordained bishop 5 Oct 1845, and died 13 Mar 1853. He appears to have been appointed simultaneously as the Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese Of Quilon for exactly the same period. Archdiocese was Verapoly. At other places, the name appears as Bernardine of St. Agnes. There was at the time the ongoing conflict of jurisdiction between the the bishops appointed by the pope (vicars Apostolic of propaganda) and the bishops appointed by the Portuguese under the padroado rights. Some Catholics in Mangalore (essentially illiterate and led by the priests with differing loyalties) followed one jurisdiction while the others followed the second one. Bajpe/Pezar is a good example for the two camps of the Catholics at the time. Interesting too as all this happened just 50 years after the folks came back from Mysore (Tipu Sultan died 1799).

    Actions speak louder than words-Mr.Nelso Lewis Sir, He use to be my next block neighbour studying medicine. He has married to a widow. I don’t know where you got his well crafted personal biography. He is still staying in the same block where he use to. If ‘Black label’ certainly his choice he would continued practicing medicine .Keeping dogs in Islam is not an compulsion or prohibited but do with certain conditions.Since you are earlier Middle East residence,you must have seen ‘Badhu’ keeping type of hunting dogs. His mother tongue is Konkani which is different dialect than one you speak. Where as English is a International Language which he choose to spread the truth though ‘comparative religion’.Well suit which he wears has no ‘monograms’ and trousers are above the ankle bone as per Islamic hygiene requirement. When Jews can wear skull cap and suit ,what is wrong with his attire which is decent and covers the maximum of his body? Well he is from Konkan region of Maharashtra his cuisine include both veg and non-veg. I am not a admirer of him. But it is my right to bring the truth which you people constantly spreading. His mission is comparative religion and the audience can be anyone who seeks truth and one God and true messanger. I may sincerly request you not spread lies in this forum. Jai Hind

After all, this is approved by ‘old book’ in the name of ‘taqiyya’!! Sharia Pandita and his group are hell-bent on taking all of humanity back to 7th century medieval tribalism filled with ignorance and violence. Look how owning a pet is also guided by his tribal belief system!! This is a sickness!! Every true rational, secular person should thank strong Western Military (Doddaanna, Israel etc) and a strong domestic forces like RSS, Indian police and Army for keeping human progress alive. In the absence of these forces, there will be no freedom or science. We all will be living like 7th century tribal groups.

    In the Middle East they have a dress code or uniform. But some of these guys are just confused that they went to their woman’s wardrobes and put on their clothes possibly without even realizing this mistake. Now that he is in trouble he has figured what went wrong. It is just a coincidence that the men who robed the bank, also wore woman’s clothes. Is that one of the reasons why the Europeans are banning the veil? I don’t know.

  • From Max E Rasquinha on Mangaluru: Milagreans Celebrate 'Institution Day' Singing 'Ave Maria' to their Patroness

    So nice to read the historical background of the Milagres Church as well as Milagres School that I had never known before. Milagres School was always ggifted with some of the fine teachers, and the Parish was always supportive of the Education and therefore we as students were always able to pay a visit to the nearby church as often as possible. Memories of the school, the tiny class rooms flooded with students, the play ground facilities and many other extra-curricular studies including the weaving classes are all the golden memories of Milagres that I often recollect and remain proud. The Educational foundation of India up to the High School is so strong and deep, and that goes to prove how beneficial the school was to all of us that enabled us to pursue our future goals by leaving Mangalore at an early age. Milagres Church has always been a prominently located in the center of Hampankatta. Although the High School is now expanded to upper floors with modern facilities, the place is now surrounded by shops and office buildings, and of course with the growing traffic and growing population Milagres area is a busy place throughout the week. Fortunately the Milagres Church and the parking facility is still ideal. Thanks for sharing the story of Milagres.

    When I see Dr. Zakir Hussain in suits, he reminds me of an Indian politician who always claims that he is serving the people of his State, but he lives in a bungalow, has Black Label, loves good cuisine, sends his children to convent schools, has dogs of pedigree and has given them Western names. If he is really serving his people, then he should stay in a tenement or simple house, consume country made liquor, have traditional food, including dhal bhaat and chutney, send his children to local or religious schools, keep pariah dogs as pet, etc. In short, whatever a person utters, “Actions speak louder than words.”

    Since Dr. Zakir Naik is an Islamic speaker on Islam, he should be totally Islamic in thought, word and deed. He should speak in Arabic (or Urdu, though this language should not have been the national language of Pakistan, but Punjabi) and not in English. He should not dress in suits, but should be in attire worn by Muslims – either an or an Indian Muslim attire. Why is he wearing suits that does not go well with the skull cap that he wears and considering his functions and missions in life.

    By virtue of Saudi Arabia sitting on huge reserves of petroleum crude, it is quite wealthy, but in many ways it is a very, very backward country. You see in Saudi Arabia, the ladies being forced to wear the burka and not allowed to drive vehicles. There is no democracy, no human rights, no churches, temples, bars, cinema halls and all other things that are considered permissible in most countries. However, Saudias are hypocites. They take great pride in setting up grand mosques abroad, patronising bars, night clubs and indulging in other things that naughty and flirty people consider as good things of life.

  • From Nelson Lewis on Men dressed as woman held in Kuwait and Saudi

    Irrespective of what diehard and fanatical elements may say about Saudi Arabia, my personal opinion is that most Saudis have a low intellect but have an exaggerated importance of themselves, are very arrogant, lack manners and do not have any humanity. In this modern age, they have Sharia laws and they have moral policing of cities and towns there. In Saudi Arabia, it is not a matter of what nationals and expatriates can do, but it is always a case of, “This is illegal and that is immoral.” Therefore, having been born up in such regimented environments, the moment Saudis go abroad, they drink like a fish, run after women and do other immoral things, as if there is no tomorrow for them. The Royal family and moral police have a “tacit” understanding. The Royal family does not interfere in the workings of the moral police (even if they overstep) and vice versa. In their palaces, the members of the Royal family enjoy themselves, be it Playboy magazines and many other things, but these and most things are a taboo to the 99% of the masses, who go to Thailand, Philippines, Egypt and other places to satisfy their naughty activities, the moment they get the opportunity.

    RIP Parag! On a more depressing note, our Police still haven’t managed to catch the culprits behind 2006 blasts. Take a look at all the terrorist attacks in India and how many of those were actually cracked by Police!! Are India police really this incompetent? Embarrassing! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terrorist_incidents_in_India

    Metaphor goes dead and sarcasm is lost when joker Praveena Pinto tries to read posts on this forum!! LOL When I refer to imaginary god to make a point, it doesn’t turn me into another god-fearing, religious guy. This reminds me of Praveena’s confusion on ‘chicken biriyaani’ analogy just before 2014 elections. I remember how he took it literally and started arguing with author without understanding the bigger point! LOL There is no point in getting upset over his failure to understand seemingly simple things. After all, this saudi-returned genius is still struggling to clear Anganawaadi exams!! smiles…

  • From shaikH MOhD rizwtan on Bengaluru: Four charge-sheeted for supplying explosives to terror outfits

    Dear readers, National Investigation Agency Files Closure Report in 2008 Modasa Bombing Case http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/national-investigation-agency-files-closure-report-in-2008-modasa-bombing-case-779202 The National Investigation Agency (NIA),which has asked the Special Public Prosecutor(Ms.Salian) to go soft on saffron terrorist involved in Malegaon terror attack, has filed its closure report in the 2008 Modasa bombing case in Gujarat citing lack of evidence and inability to trace the main culprit. It was during Ramzan in 2008 when suspected terrorists blasted an explosive-laden motorcycle in a busy market on September 29 at 9.25 PM killing a 15-year-old boy and injuring 10 others. The agency was looking for the two main accused “Sandeep Dange and Ramji Kalsangra”, who were suspected to have orchestrated the Modasa, Malegaon and Samjhauta blasts. This is the first closure report filed in seven right wing terror cases. The NIA has also returned the Sunil Joshi murder case back to Madhya Pradesh after the agency claimed that no case under Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act was made. Joshi is a charge sheeted accused in the Samjhauta train blast case. Can we see impartial investigation from PM Modi led government on this case which is grave danger for internal security of this country. The government should fully investigate and prosecute the 4 accused and speed up the sentence of Ahmed Siddiappa(Yasin Bhatkal) on terror cases. Jai Hind

  • From shaikH MOhD rizwtan on Men dressed as woman held in Kuwait and Saudi

    Thanks God, we have RSS and Indian Army-Mr.Original Pai Dear readers, Once again Atheist Mr.Original dragged himself in religious talks and exposed his true identity. We are witnessing a concerted attempted the RSS attempt to establish fanatic Golwalkar as the the “Prophet of resurgent India”, a saint the best son of Bharat Mata and the biggest gift to the Hindu society in the 20th century ( sorry to mention, they have failed in it). This in spite of the fact hat Golwalkar, throughout his life, remained committed to the concept of Hindutva which meant an inherent faith in casteism , Racisim and Imperialism. He stood for the establishment of a Hindu rastra ( he even has fake atheist as a follower) or nation where minorities could exist only as second class citizens. Golwalkar,as the of the RSS was never able to hide his opposition to any movement against the foreign rule. As late as March 1947 when the British rulers had decided, in principle to go away from India. Golwalkar while addressing the annual day function of the RSS at Delhi declared that narrow vision were trying to oppose the state power of the British. While elaborating this point further, he said that it was wrong to hold the powerful foreigners responsible for the country’s ills ( he had a problem with foreign religions, the height of hypocrisy). He decried the tendency of initiating the political movements on the basis of our hatred towards our victors- Shri Guruji Samagar Darshan Vol-4 Nagpur Bharatiya Vichar Sadhana P-2 I hope RSS fake atheist will have something to say this, may he is busy cleaning in US and he claims to be an Apple consultant. I doubt that with limited knowledge he pose he cannot be a consultant in Apple. He can lie isn’t, his master Golwalkar lied a lot and deceived the nation what is there for him to spread lies.

    “Buffalo meat isn’t beef,” says Vinod Bansal, spokesperson for Vishva Hindu Parishad, a Hindu nationalist organization. “Only cow meat is beef and India doesn’t export that. And if a Hindu eats beef he or she cannot be called a Hindu.” Dear readers, It seems Mangalore unit VHP doesn’t now what is the difference between cow and buffalo. After successful experiment of Maharashtra cow ban to punish Muslims economically hard now they want to extend it to non-BJP ruled state. How does cow is not holp in BJP ruled Goa but Karnataka is different? Why not this Gorakshka committee Bhata organise historic protest in front of PMO,Agriculture minister office and ask for demand complete export ban? Why does Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to China last month may have cleared the way for export of the meat to the world’s biggest market two years after an agreement was signed? If cow population is feared decreased citing agrarian reason, why don’t it distribute milk in Anganvadi schools free instead of forcing them for Yoga? Out of six largest meat suppliers in India four are Hindus

Finally this is RSS and sister organisation VHP ploy to disturb the peacful enviorment in the state. The timing is specifically chosen coincide with with Muslim festival and this agitation peaks during the season of ‘Bakrid’. After failure of Samjostava to vitigate enmity between the community they are once again rake up the ‘Go math’ issue to divert the failure of PM Modi government in the center. Jai Hind

  • From Max Rasquinha on Bengaluru: Public Relations Council of India Celebrates Daughters Day

    Right step in the right direction from the Public Relations Council of India by celebrating “Daughters Day” in India. This is a fitting occasion in a country such as India where statistics reveal that there are more than five hundred million daughters, young and old, far and near, that deserve to be honored on this auspicious day. Although God did not gift us with a daughter, we have many many daughters all over the globe that we can honor and felicitate on this great day. Every woman is a daughter, and therefore every woman deserves to be honored on this day. The women of India are marching forward with high colors because of their ‘forward looking’ natures and abilities as well as their talents. India’s progress from all fronts of the society is attributable to the women who have been daughters for their parents all the time. The World at large is placing their glimpse on India for the advancement of women both intellectually as well as socially. They are also moving forward in a brilliant way even politically. Many Mayors of the City, many Governors and also Chief Ministers the ladies have taken over and proved themselves to be worth of their prestigious position. Best of luck to all the “DAUGHTERS” of India. They are the “Crown Jewels” of our nation. They are smart, they are outgoing and they are worthy of many new responsibilities that our country need to confer upon in the days ahead.

  • From Sundar Muthanna on What is Kodagu’s Future in the Years Ahead? - Asks Air Marshal K C Cariappa

    The people of Kodagu, Dakshina and Uttara Kannada, Hassan and Chikmagalur are about to lose their wooded landscape forever. The Kasturirangan report having been rejected and today’s newspaper (8th July 2015) says development projects (to be read as eco-destruction projects) will be allowed in the Ecologically Sensitive Areas (ESAs) in Karnataka. Soon this beautiful Malnad region will look like the Mysore or Hubli region. 25,000 acres have been earmarked for industrial development near Madikeri. A railway track is planned from Mysore to Kushalnagar on the border of Kodagu and then to Madikeri. Lakhs and lakhs of trees will be cut for the so-called development. This railway line is actually financially not viable (only the timber money can make it viable). Inflated tourism figures are given to break resistance to the railway. People who are not from Kodagu are being asked what they want for Kodagu. Even the MP Pratap Simha is helping to clear the way for the project. What hope do we have? Who gives the ruling government the power to destroy precious environmental resources that have belonged to the people for thousands of years? We do. We the people of the western ghats who stay quiet as mice, no matter what the elected representatives do. Without the trees, bushes and animals that make up the landscape, soon the 7 rivers of Kodagu: Cauvery, Barapole, Lakshmanatheertha, Nagarahole, Harangi, Payaswini and Kumaradhara will reduce in volume and later stop flowing. The worst affected will be the people of Mysore, Mandya, Bangalore and the Cauvery-dependent region of Tamilnadu. The solution lies in the western ghat communities burying their differences and becoming a vote bank that demands ecological protection as a voting platform. Did that make you laugh ironically? You may yet have the last laugh if the people don’t hear the wake up call.

  • From Vinayak on Udupi: Eden Heritage Residents File suit against Builders for Violating Agreement Norms; Builder Clarifies

    Most of the builders go against the deed once they have the money in hand and the flat is been handed over. I think the residents have taken a very good step, which would a lesson to other builders also. I encountered same issue while I brought a flat from one of the prominent builder in M’lore. When all the residents told him that we would go to the court of law, he had no other way than to honor the deed and construct the facility. They only give reasons of extension and so on, but if one keeps quiet, then it is never going to happen and the builder shall be one happy man, living the residents in misery. Though bit expensive, it is always better to buy ready for pocession appartments, as one can see the property and its arrangements and then decide whether to go ahead or no. Buying the property at the ground breaking level is good, but at the end we encounter with issues.

    It’s very interesting to see the exchange between Sharia Pandita and Roy. Intellectual dishonesty and shameless loyalty towards foreign masters are the two common threads binding them together even when they think they are fighting over all these ‘differences’!! LOL As I have always maintained on this forum, the opportunistic but unsustainable alliance between these two groups is entirely based on a common hatred towards sanaathana groups. No matter how much you try to educate them on facts and history, they will never see the reality!! If you think Sharia Pndita is annoying, get a boat load of this Roy!! If I am right, this is the same guy who accused Sam Harris of attacking ‘only Christians’!! This is the same guy who accused Libertarians of ‘rejecting’ global warming while giving a pass to his religious leaders. When did Rick Santorum, Jeb Bush, Rick Perry, Ann Coulter and many other conservatives become libertarians? What a joke!! I do reject all religious hypocrisy and ignorance. I don’t care if Raghaveshwara swamiji or Nithyaananda belong to sanaathana group or not. I don’t care if superstition at Subrahamanya temple is sanaathana or not. My criticism is based on intellectual honesty and ideals I believe in. Don’t expect Sharia or Roy to go against their masters anytime soon! LOL

You are rightly said preaching someone is easy than following it. You can reserve full rights to your objections against ‘Jaziya tax’ .However you are willing to pay service tax,income tax what else what not in modern day without any tax benefits. Ironically sharia law is applicable to followers of Islam. It has never been forced as the mass media and people who distort. Even British in India have followed ‘Mohammeden law’ and was in force till Dr.Ambedkar wrote the constitution. I sincerely advise you to implement at least one versus of Holy Mathew in your daily life rather than presenting gullible internet search engine. Hope almighty guide you to the right path. Jai hind

    SMR – by saying “Tax Collector” did you mean Jaziya tax, it seems that you are still reminiscing of the past. Gone were those days where our forefathers were forced to pay, and lived in submission as second class citizens in dimmitude. Please do not quote scripture to me, in the Bible even the devil has quoted from scripture. Quoting is easy, but living by example and treating others the same way we like to be treated is hard. I believe in democracy and freedom, in the equality of man, and justice for all, unlike in Sharia which is exactly the opposite. I am of the opinion that I’m on the right path, and thanks, but no thanks for your prayers to your almighty. Please reserve all of the same for you and your loved ones, I am very happy where I am.

Now he and RSS will find difficult to brainwash young minds by introducing ‘Tiruga-murga’ history based on mythology to believe in elephant head transplant,mystic space technology etc. His RSS Guru in the earlier days inspired Hitlers syllabus now want to try it in India to achive Hindu Rashtra to rule with iron grip. Thereby pushing the country to 9 century B.C with no option to force ‘Yoga’ ,’GoMutra’ as an healing touch. In Maharashtra the experiment is already commence with de-recognising Islamic Madrasa.

    Dear Mr.Jay, This is full quote of Mathew Chapter 5:43“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[a] and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.When you present reference of holy books quote should be in full context. Please understand the whole context and do not behave like Pagans.In debate there is always opposing and favoring side.If opposing party try to pounce it will mimic ‘Fish market’ or Arnab Goswami anchor cum jurist win-win all the time. I don’t know where you get all the those exaggerated statistical figures presenting like a ‘Tax collector’. If you believe in ‘freedom of expression’ the debate should impartial and more specific to the subject. The truth is always bitter. So kill the massanger by imposing the visa ban.However glorify the others with rewards of asylum those having similar interest. You are making good progress.Please dedicate your more time reading and understanding the holy scripts rather than scrolling through Youtube.com to produce your meaningless arugement. I pray to almighty to show you the right path. “It may be that God will ordain love between you and those whom you hold as enemies. For God has power over all things; and God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful”Chapter Name:Al-Mumtahina Verse No:7 Jai Hind

  • From Lawrence on Mangaluru: Falnir Road Renamed after Mother Teresa

    We do not need to name any roads after Mother Theresa. She has been already accepted as a Saint by billions even before declaring her as Saint. We shouldn’t change the name of the road once named after a freedom fighter, that too a lady. Mary Britto’s name should be reinstated. I know there are quite a few Mangalorean Catholics have sacrificed their fortune for the betterment of Mangalore. They should be remembered.

  • From Jay on UAE: Dr Zakir Naik to Give Lecture in English on Sunday, 18 Ramadan

    SMR – Zakir may be a scholar to you, but definitely not for me. Do you believe that everyone (including you) has the freedom of speech? If so, please the foregoing twice before commenting. When Zakir was denied a visa and his entry banned all over the West in general, he hired top most lawyers who argued his case in our courts for over a year, but when an overwhelming evidence on tape was produced in court, the judges upheld the ban and he will never be allowed to step foot on our soil. Now you could feel that this was not right, and instead have issues with Salman Rushdie and Taslima Nasrin, but they too had their days in court and the judges threw out the arguments against them, and instead provided them with police protection because of treats on their lives. When Bin Laden was polled as a Hero by 84% of respondents in the Islamic world, the West accepted this as the opinion of the people from that part of the world. But when our press dubbed Zakir as “A Preacher of hate” based on facts presented in court, objections were raised. In today’s world it is time that you and your ilk accept and agree that each and every has the right to his or her opinion as long as it is based on facts, it does not infringe on others democratic rights and keeps the peace. You say quote the Bible, and it is time you also live up to one of the best quotes from this book ‘LOVE YOUR ENEMIES AND PRAY FOR THOSE WHO PERSECUTE YOU”

    • From Nelson Lewis on UAE: Dr Zakir Naik to Give Lecture in English on Sunday, 18 Ramadan

      Dear Mr. Jay, I read your post and completely agree with your views. I just do not believe and trust Godmen and Babas in any religion. If you watch the lectures conducted by Dr. Zakir Hussain on the electronic media, I get the idea that the members of the audience attending the same are mosttly uneducated oand not well read lot. They appear to be to be the gullible, ignorant and naive types, who easily fall prey to any person who is an accomplished speaker – irrespective of the fact that he is talking the truth or bullshitting. We have had many examples in the past, i.e. Adolph Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Josef Stalin, Sir Winston Churchill and we have many cases in India too.

  • From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Mangaluru: Falnir Road Renamed after Mother Teresa

    Thank you, dear Mayor Jacinta, for your timely effort in naming the Falnir Road as Mother Theresa Road. Very soon when Blessed Mother Theresa is proclaimed as a Saint this road will become more prominent than ever before. Falnir has always been an elite road that linked Hampankatta and Kankanady. The name can always be short-named as MT ROAD for purpose of convenience, but it is amazing to know and tell the whole world that we now have a MOTHER THERESA ROAD that virtually links my beloved Kankanady School and the Milagres School where I have spent more than seven years of my school journey that has taken me to some of the major Highways and Skyiways of the beautiful World. I do not know why Mary Britto is a forgotten name in Mangalore. Mary Britto has dedicated a great deal of her time towards the welfare of Mangalore. I know how Mary Britto has worked hard with many other Council Members during her time and dedicated for the cause of Mangalore. Again, the family of Mary Britto have to come forward and give much more to the City, and that is the added strength for remembering the name of late Mary Britto. We remember her well, and so also many Brittos that lived in and around Falnir Road.

    Dear readers, These days PM Modi is copying whatever his best friend Barrack who denied and hugged later. While Indians who went to the US shore finding for ‘Green back’ uncle supported him like celebrity returned from Mars. His paid PR APCO worldwide copied ‘man ki bath’ from Barrak weekly address. Left hand man waving cheering ‘Baniyas’ crowd and may be eating ‘Dhokla’ in left hand and using ‘Toilet roles’ in same. He remained silent whenever he needs to address and to his reward by keeping silence. He and his ‘good governance’ continued to remain silent bullying voters 15lakh, black money, communal violence,pink revolution, Ghar vapasi, Subhash Chandra Bose file…… Sadly he don’t even know how to address state dignitary and don’t understand M-R-S and Mrs. difference but want to take credit #SelfieWithDaughter. Did his American good buddy ‘Barrack’ ever reminded him that ‘Selfie is stated ‘disorder’ Psychiatric assosiation?? AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCIATION MAKES IT OFFICIAL: ‘SELFIE’ A MENTAL DISORDER AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCIATION MAKES IT OFFICIAL: ‘SELFIE’ A MENTAL DISORDER Better stop is shlokas on radio and it is time to walk the talk.

  • From shaikH MOhD rizwan on Bengaluru: BJP to strengthen presence in south India

    Dear readers, The southern states of India ruled by non-BJP states should go on high alert. Particularly state of Karnataka, Telangana and Kerala should take precaution as the big wave of communal violence like Muzzafarnagar may strike with increasing risk of Kerala being at large. With decreasing surge of Modi wave and false promises the BJP in center will utilize all its manpower to influence the government functioning and blame the respective state. As development became elopment of those voter waiting for their ample share of 15 lakh check, once again RSS will ask its ‘Karsevakas’ to contribute to field work for canvassing. Casteism, criminal,corruption and communal are the four solid pillars for RSS political wing BJP to survive anywhere in India.So BJP may resort to its old communal trick by luring voters by dividing the community on the lines of religion. Pakistani born L.k.Advani already predicted ‘EMERGENCY’ in this regard. Jai hind

      Yes – for an atheist or non-religious guy, cartoon shouldn’t be a problem. That’s why I am okay with drawing cartoons of any individual/character. Do you support it? Remember – MF Hussain lived in India for decades even after drawing Hindu gods. Nobody got hurt. His self-imposed exile was unfortunate. The movie PK did great. Same as another movie, OMG. Imagine what would have happened if the movie was on pravaadi. We all know what happened to Theo Gon Vogh in Netherlands. We all know what happened to Charlie Hebdo. Finally, your comment on African tribal is in poor taste. It shows how people different color are viewed in your ‘peaceful’ society. Remember – those tribal folks are far more superior to your ‘peaceful’ tribal folks who are creating problems all over the world!!!

  • From B. N. Pai. on Udupi: Narendra Modi's 'mann-ki-baat' has turned to 'monkey-ki-baat' – Janardhan Poojary

    “Modi is silent over ….” says Janardhana Poojary. Modi remained totally silent over post Godhra issue, even after Vajpayee warned him to adhere to Raja Dharma! He opened his mouth about the excesses during his 12 years rule in Gujarat, for the first time only after he became the PM of India. He has tasted the success of keeping silent and allowing the Sangh Parivaar to respond and deny. He is like a tiger which has tasted the human blood and becoming much more aggressive man hunter. He is continuing the same till people forget it. He talks about Swachcha Bharath, Jan Dhan, etc, etc which are intangible hopes kindled to make the people forget all the promises made by him to get elected. HIS “MAN KI BATH” IS NOTHING BUT “NON-MAN KI BATH” AND REALLY MAKI BATH, AS POOJARY RIGHTLY PUT IT, FLOATED TO HOODWINK THE PEOPLE ABOUT THE STARK REALITIES OF HIS GOVERNMENT AND HIMSELF. THE DESERTING OF HIS WIFE, KEPT A CLOSELY GUARDED SECRET BY HIM, TILL HIS 2014 AFFIDAVIT, IS AN EXAMPLE HOW ONE CAN KEEP SILENT AND MAKE THE PEOPLE BELIEVE HIM TO BE AN EXCELLENT IDEALIST, WHO DID NOT MARRY AT ALL TO SERVE BHARATH MAATA. SUCH A PATRIOT AND SANYASI HE IS! WHAT ABOUT HIS “SNOOP GATE”? HAS HE EVEN DENIED IT? MODI SYCOPHANT, ORIGINAL RSS, DUPLICATE PAI, TOO WOULD GO MUM.

  • From Prabhu on Mangaluru: Falnir Road Renamed after Mother Teresa

    Sir, The state govt did not name the road it was the corporation which suggested the same. This road name was a tussle between Shivram Karanth and Mother Theresa. Then it was revealed that this road in 1964 was named after a lady Mary Britto who was a freedom fighter, a municipal councillor un contested for 23 years from Falnir ward. Was responsible for widening hampangatta – kankanady road which was a narrow 15 feet lane. The sisters who were Noble enough refused to dishonour this lady and thus the name remained the same and no board was installed. She was the founder member of the Congress in Mangalore and it is shocking that the members today don’t have any regard to a freedom fighter ex congress founder/councillor and a social worker. She has done a lot for the poor in Mangalore.

  • From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Pope Francis' Encyclical is more than just Tree-Planting!

    His Holiness, Pope Francis is a true gift from heaven to this planet at the right time when the world is going thru so much of turmoil. Pope Francis is comparatively a young Pope filled with energy and filled with new ideas that could benefit the world. Pope Francis has already said enough, and has many more to express and share provided the World is prepared to listen to him and listen with a positive attitude. Ever since the Pope was elected couple of years ago, he has come up with many wonderful messages that the world has to listen, and listen carefully and digest. The Swamijis, the Imams and the Catholic Clergy has lot to share with the world because they know the dangers the world is heading to with all the modernity of life filled with some of the shocking episodes that are introduced overnight even with a Supreme Court proclamations. Pope Francis is a great lover of Environment. He likes the Earth because he loves the people. He wants the people of this earth to respect each other and love one another. He wants the Global Climates to be watched and watched carefully. He wants the green earth to be protected and protected lovingly. He wants the sanctity of love between the man and the woman to be spread vividly all across the globe and he wants peace. The Pope also wants to promote “Vanamahotsava” because he knows too well the green earth can bring more rain and more moisture on earth that can bring more reasons to cultivate the land in order to bring more crop for human self sufficiency. Un fortunately, the voice of the Pope is not so strong these days because so many other things are taking the priority. The Pope is doing his very best under all the prevailing circumstances. All that we can pray is let the Pope express his desires for the world and the people and let us listen to His voice.

  • From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Mangaluru: Former Union Minister Oscar Fernandes visits Shasthavu model village development project

    We wish to complement Shriman Oscar Fernandes for taking the initiatives of visiting the Model Village and interact with dozens of young and innocent children who are at the prime of their youth. These children in the rural areas feel highly motivated when dignitaries from outside visit their interior land and show keen interest in their welfare in life. Many of these children meet some of the outside visitors first time. They bow their heads with their hands folded. They would like to maintain a close eye contact and wish to see the affection and love in the eyes of others. They would like to talk and share their humble feelings. All in all, they would just love to interact with others and make their presence felt. I had taken a few American visitors not too long ago to the remote villages of India. I arrived with the entourage exactly at 12 noon which was the right time to be present when the children get their free lunch, a delicious plate of nutrious diet on a stainless steel plate. More than 300 children greeted our visiting American dignitaries with flowers and drum beats. The lunch was about to be served hence the leader of the children group invited the American friends to dine with them and share the humble bread. We all sat together on the school floor and shared the joy of being together. The children recited their prayers before the meal. Thereafter the children entertained us with their music and dances. The children even wanted to demonstrate the women’s volley ball game and the boys were proud to display their cricket game. They even made the American men and women to join the cricket game. Out of total 21 days the Americans toured the Cities, towns and villages, they preferred their visit to the Model Village the most because that’s where they witnessed the “Real India” beneath the Indian soil. Our Temples, our Mosques and our Churches have lot to give to the young children and divert all their God given fortunes in favor of the little children who are the gifts from heaven to Mother India. Thank you dear Mr. Oscar Fernandes for your kind gesture. We had the pleasure of meeting each other on the Xmas mid night mass at St. Aloysius College last year.

  • From Original R.Pai on Pope Francis' Encyclical is more than just Tree-Planting!

    While Author makes a very valid point, he still misses the bigger point in my opinion. The real message of this progressive, humanist Pope is to believe in logic, reasoning and science. Agreed – he can’t say use these exact words for reasons anyone here can understand. Pope reminds me of another progressive religious leader Pejaawara Swamij in his attempt to fight orthodoxy and conservative mindset!! For both individuals, being head of religious institutions, it’s the same tightrope walk of balancing modernity with tradition. Our scientific community has been highlighting the negative impact of human factor in global climate change for decades. However, conservative groups in West backed mainly by religious Christians have been rejecting this. Even now, one can go and look up the debates or publications on this subject and decide who is on what side. Religious leaders and groups in US still don’t believe in evolution and climate change. This is the real fight Pope is up against.

The actual fact remains that they do not believe in anything, but only the winnability in politics, at any costs. They are for Yeddy, Reddy, Sushma, Vasundhara, Shobha, Renukaachaaryaa, Godse, Savarkar and IPL Modi on the one hand, and on the other for the likes of Gandhi, Subhas, Patel and Obama! What actually they are? They are rank opportunists! Ruthless opportunists!!

If the person is seeking truth,he will go back to his book research until he get satisfying answers.If not they will try to marginalize calling him ‘Kufaar’ or sects whose study income is being challenged due to the exposure. I would rather appreciate directly throw questions to Dr.Zakir or have open debate like Shri Shri art of living. Jai Hind

This is an example of how everyone is given a chance. From Vivekananda College to Bhaarata in general the minorities are given a chance to reach the top positions. You can’t say the same about other societies.

      Dear Original Duplicate Pai of USA, please stop brushing under the carpet the religious intolerance and atrocities against the minorities and the agriculturists by the BJP, by invoking wrongs committed by some counties in the international arena! TALK ABOUT INTERNAL INHUMAN WRONGS COMMITTED AND PERPETUATED BY THE RSS IN INDIA. POST GODHRA CRIMES, DEMOLITION OF THE DISPUTED STRUCTURE IN AYODHYA BY HOODWINKING THE SUPREME COURT, THEREBY TRIGGERING TALIBANISATION OF INDIAN MUSLIMS IS THE UNPARDONABLE CRIME COMMITTED AGAINST HINDUS IN PARTICULAR, AND AGAINST THE COUNTRY, IN GENERAL! AS PER REPORT, VAJPAYEE BELIEVES THAT POST GODHRA DEFEATED HIM IN THE 2004 ELECTIONS. BUT, HE CONVENIENTLY FORGETS THAT THE CRIMES COMMITTED BY RSS IN AYODHYA CATAPULTED HIM TO THE TOP POST.

  • From Mangal on Two Indians killed in Kuwait blast

    Mr Shaikh states “The slavery is long before abolished in Islam by Prophet Muhammad (etc)”. One of the staunchest Islamic nations is on the southern border of Saudi Arabia. Yemen. People from the African contninet have migrated to the Arabian Peninsula and northwards since perhaps the dawn of human civilisation in those parts of the world. Habshis (Abyssinians, that is modern day Ethiopian and Eritreans), Somalis, Sudanese, as well Africans of other races have all crossed the Red Sea into Yemen, and travelled elsewhere. Many have even ended up in India. Some are called Sidhis. But their life in the Arabian Peninsula has never been a bed of roses. Please watch a video on Youtube called ‘Slavery in Yemen’ by Al Jazeera. It is an eye opener, regardless of the fond beliefs of Mr Shaikh in his Prophet (etc.). And Mr Shaikh is worried about how blacks are treated in USA, and how caste system operates in India.

        Is it not what your masters have been doing (True God vs false God) for centuries? – Original RampaNNA PyareLallu Rampu, First of all, why should a self-professed atheist RampaNNA bother with who is “True God” or “False God”? If Rampu were TRULY an atheist, he would care two hoots from the back of his Jhomblass Chaddi as to who is true and who is false! You see, for an atheist God simply doesn’t exist! And when God doesn’t exist, what is the point in labeling him/her as “true” or “false”? So, RampaNNA, now you know why YOU are the UNDISPUTED heavyweight JOKER here? SMILES.. :):) More jokes ya Rampa… please make my weekend. As it is, I’m tired of Arnab Gowswami blasting and deflating the BJP Chaddis – right from everything/everybody – Sushma, Lalitha, Dushyantha, Kaushala, Fadnavisa, Vasu Raje, Kirrena Rijjijua, Munde Pankaja et al.

Christian run colleges should also appoint the head of the institution by their ability without prejudice to their religious/political affiliation. We are moving towards civilization.

This time around, it is the students of FTTI who are striking against the appointment of some unknown called….. hang on… hang on.. cough cough… Gajendra Chauhan as Chairman. Now, what exactly are Gajju’s achievements? Playing the part of Yudhishtira in Ramayan in 1940 (or was it 1930?) The Chaddi’s put him there because he is a staunch Chaddi Party Member for more than 20 years. Hahahhaha! And then we have the flying maharajas – Kirren Rijjiju and Devu Fadnavisu who almost hijacked flights for their own purposes. Arnab Goswami showed statements and claims from the Jokers from BJP prior to elections in 2014. And now…..and now, poor Sambitha Pathra, GVL Narsimhappa Rao, Nalina Kohli, Sudanshu Trivedi, NC shaina et al…… they are distinctly sweating under Arnab’s barrages. Our poor Rampa will now stop watching Times Now and switch back to Bobby Jindal, Bill Maher, Rihanna and Zakir Naik. :):) Good going ya Rampa. Good going ya Rampu. Your Yogi Adithyu is showing the way.

If you guys value it so much as one of the basic rights, how come it is totally missing in your ‘peaceful’ belt from Morocco to Paakistana ? Can you even draw a simple picture of pravaadi ? Can you even have a debate on your holy book? Who are you trying to fool ? You demand ‘freedom of expression’ only when you are a minority. As soon as you become majority, you wipe out all the freedoms as we see in those backward societies.

Reason given by him to justify his RSS theory of jurisprudence is that since Muslim countries, described by him as “peaceful belt from Morocco to Pakistan”, do not have secular polity. He is for deportation of minorities from India for the “wrongs” committed by some foreigners in the foreign soil! HE SAYS THE MINORITIES IN RSS INDIA HAVE NO FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS BECAUSE OF THE COMMISSIONS AND OMISSIONS OF FOREIGNERS (BELONGING TO THOSE RELIGIONS) ON FOREIGN SOIL! PLEASE NOTE, NOT IN INDIA! IS HE NOT A HINDU RELIGIOUS BEGOT PREACHING AND CHANTING “MODI, MODI, …” ALL THE TIME. IS HE NOT A MODI AND RSS SYCOPHANT?

I was only pointing out how ‘peaceful’ folks demand equal rights when their are minority and totally oppose the same to other minorities in their own societies!! He clearly knew my point. Still, he acts like an illiterate to show his loyalty towards ‘kasaragodu’ crowd. I understand his situation – I want him to be safe!! smiles…

If any Muslim posts on this forum, he would give a twist immediately and identifies them with Muslims out side India. He is not prepared to accept that Muslims of India are equal citizens of this nation, like anybody else! All Muslims are non-Indians for him! Yet, he claims to be champion of democracy!

  • From A. S. Mathew on When you enter India

    Very interesting reality of our trips to the beloved motherland. Last time when I went to India, I kept some pens with me, when I saw the pen borrowing commotion as the author has indicated, I started giving them a pen each, they looked at me as if I gave them an ounce of gold. How classical explanation was that of the custom officer, 100% correct. They are looking at the tired passengers like international smugglers. The Customs officers used to be too hard-headed but now they are a lot milder towards the passengers from some countries. Two months before the travel to India, in the olden days, we were constantly bombarded with the tormenting examination before the customs officers who are degree holders in the ” trick of smuggling”. Finally comes the questions from the parents and relatives, sometimes we need to narrate from the boarding to the landing episode including the dietary details. The relatives will be looking for the magic inside the luggage. If the distribution of gifts is not fairly satisfactory, we can watch devil’s incarnation in their faces; even after giving everything to please them, still they won’t say a thank you but will find some quality defect of the goods. What a wonderful new world?

  • From Mangal on Two Indians killed in Kuwait blast

    Mr. Shaikh, Sir, on the one hand you say “I had stayed in kingdom (Saudi Arabia) never felt discrimination because of my race, religion or skin colour”. Good news indeed. And then you say something that sounds just the opposite: “There are Millions working class in Middle East doing modern day slavery to support there backend meet”. Although a reader might be curious to know as to what does the backend have to do here, let us not digress. If you did not feel discriminated against, that is good news. But how can you then claim that there are millions who are going through “modern day slavery” in those same lands where people do not practise slavery? If indeed you want me to believe you when you say that slavery does exist in those lands, is this a better form of slavery than what is faced by the blacks in USA and/or the caste-system in India? Or worse? As I am keen to understand this puzzle, I would be happy if you elaborated on what you have said. The reason for my curiosity is two-fold: (a) I would like to know why any type of research is suppressed in the Middle-East, and (b) Why various claims are made about evil that is practised by the whites, Jewish and Indians, when in fact, it may be no worse than what is practised in the Middle East. I do not blame you for the ills of the Middle East. It is entirely a problem of the people of those lands. But you possibly understand better than me and other readers here as to why such a complex scenario is created by our brothers in the Middle East. Would you care to elaborate?

    Exceptions did exist,but few.Brother Mr.Mangal Sir,I have already address his issue once and there is no point of return wasting time. You do believe that there are some exception and black sheep in each community.We need to start recognize the good rather than digging dirt.There are many Millions working class in Middle East doing modern day slavery to support there backend meet. If one does not stand on his own foot we are all slaves of Almighty. Serve Allah . . . and do good – to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, those in need, neighbors who are near, neighbors who are strangers, the Companion by your side, the way-farer (you meet), and what your right hands possess [i.e. your slaves] . . . (4:36) By teaching us to be grateful for being created, to “do good” to both our parents and our “slaves,” the Qur’an once again emphasizes the equality of Allah’s creation. A Creator so concerned with equality deserves respect. The Prophet Muhammad did not believe that only the slaves of a particular race, religion, or ethnicity should be freed; instead, he desired to break the chains of slaves all over the world. The fact that the Qur’an did so with a specificity unparalleled in a monotheistic holy text makes it one of the greatest of anti-slavery books, and Muhammad himself one of the greatest of abolitionists. Peace be upon him. We all need to answer the deeds aftermath. There are no excpections in his justice. Jai hind

Though ‘East India’ company long vaccated the colony after sowing the deep hatered of ‘divide and rule’, a very small section of fandamantalist taken over the ruins to revive it to attain their goals. In his prayers Mahatama Gandhi united the communities by chanting ‘Eshwar,Allah’ and gave life to this nation with short breath by saying ‘Hey Ram’, the nation is yet to pay back his hard struggle. In today’s India the nations secular status is under great danger due to the biased ruling factions in the center.The invisible barrier of ‘Berlin wall’ is being already drawn dividing the communities once lived together sharing happiness and sorrow together. The absence of more Vasant and Rajab without them India can’t attain ‘development’ and poverty eradication. Our greatest diversity of this nation is unity.we can’t Incredible Indian’s if we don’t share our pain together. Jai Hind

  • From joe Gonsalves on Udupi: Fr Lawrence D'Souza Inaugurates Students Council of St Mary’s College Shirva

    The town of Shirva has a got a great history and tradition behind it. A few years ago Father Stany Tauro took over the management as a correspondent of The College attached to The Church and has functioned very well indeed. Rev. Dr. Lawrence D’Souza’s with his fund of knowledge and experience offered to join The Udupi Diocese sometime ago and has already forged ahead to help the Diocese to the best of his ability. His meeting with Father Stan Tauro is a happy co-incidence as both of them worked for Father Muller’s Hospital and Medical College for a long time as senior administrators. It must have been a happy re-union. It was a good choice to invite him for the inauguration of The College Council. He must have been an inspiration to the students.

Okay then, I apologize for the error. Thank you for the alert? Have a nice day

  • From Mangal on Two Indians killed in Kuwait blast

    Thank you Mr Shaikh. Sir, in explaining about the slavery, you have given many details and names of the Europeans. I must congratulate you on your research. I have no reason to doubt any of it. But somehow you have forgotten to provide any names of the Middle Eastern Sheikhs and business-men engaged in the vast slave trade. We are all human. Many of us do good things and bad. Our leaders drive policies that affect the lives of ordinary citizens. So we have a duty to conduct research and scrutinise our leaders’ actions at all times. If the West has progressed today, it is not just due to their horrendous colonial past. It is also because there is a liberal mindset where people can question most things. Exceptions do exist, but few. Many Middle Eastern people have lamented the fact that the Middle East discourages research and scrutinise most things. As an aside, I was reading an article yesterday by Ms Hania Sholkamy titled “Egypt’s love-hate relationship with research”, attempting to expose the near absence of research affecting the “own” people. However, you are not a Middle Eastern person. What is stopping you in disclosing the names of the many Middle Eastern sheikhs who collected the African slaves and sold them to everyone else: Europeans, Americans, Chinese, Indians, etc. Are you aware that Chinese and Indians bought slaves too? But it was the Middle Eastern sheikhs who managed the sourcing business. Europeans and others bought the slaves from the Middle Eastern sheikhs. Any research and scrutiny on the Middle East side of things would be much appreciated – as many readers would like the information from a very knowledgeable person like yourself.

The list has at least 13 total terror accused with their photographs. 11 Muslim youth are categorized as ‘wanted’ and two Maoists belonging to communist party of India-M. but, it doesn’t inculude any right wing accused wanted in Malegaon and other blasts. List of Right Wing terror accused who are wanted but missing from ATS calendar 1. Amit alias Ashok @ Prince @ Sunny @ Ashwini @ Ashwini Chauhan – Wanted in Samjhauta Express Blasts in 2007.

LOL You and your muslim mirror apologists have all the time to cry about some Suresha Naayar or Raamachandra. On the other hand, why is it that you always take the side of rats like Dawood Ibrahim and Kasab? I have never seen you denouncing Dawood or Kasab for what they did on Indian soil. Are you a secret admirer of these individuals? In fact, you have been trying really hard to establish Kasab and his team as innocent folks by blaming mumbai attacks on RSS. We all understand your taqiyya technique. Stop fooling yourself!!

  • From shaiKH moHD rizwan on Two Indians killed in Kuwait blast

    There is much on slaves in GCC-Mr.Mangal Sir, The slavery is long before abolished in Islam by Prophet Muhammed(peace and blessing upon him). The last sermon of Prophet Muhammad which he delivered at Hajj, the annual pilgrimage made to Mecca by Muslims all over. “All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not, therefore, do injustice to yourselves.” Remember, one day you will appear before God (The Creator) and you will answer for your deeds. So beware, do not stray from the path of righteousness after I am gone. Habshi,Bilalal are the black companion of him stayed with him all along his life. When Islam has asked to abolish ‘slavery’ the great tide of ‘slaverisum’ began by the European colonials. The slavery is so rampant that blacks are forcefully taken as bonded labour on board the ships in danger voyage and many times thrown due health and food shortage in to the open seas. The Indians do share the same pain of slavery which took them to aliean nation like Guyana, Caribbean,Fiji where sugar plantations are grown under their Colonialism. The financial involvement of the Royal family and the country’s aristocracy were central to the growth of Britain’s slave trade and the slaving company known as the Royal Adventurers into Africa (1660) counted King Charles II as a backer. One bank that provided this service was run by Alexander and David Barclay and Barclays Bank still carries their name today. Another bank which rose from the profits of loaning credit to slavers was Barings Bank, whose founder Sir Francis Baring, claimed to have made his fortune as a slave dealer while only 16-years old.The Bank of England also featured heavily in the slave trade. Today what crisis in African continent suffering is the footprint of colonial past. Despite abundant natural resources and skilled labour they are forced to take arms for food to kill each other. Though I am old, I had stayed in kingdom never felt discrimination because of my race,religion or skin colour. I would request you to emphsises on the castism in India being democracy we need seperate quota to reserve the rights of outcasted. Thanks to the great Brahmical culture India is much divided on cast line than the pre colonial slavery.Despite 60 years of Independence we still cast the same treatment of post slavery. I would appreciate to correct your distorted fact with better subject knowledge. Jai hind

    Thanks, Alfie, for a well written and well analyzed article on Mr. Roy Castelino whom I had the previlge to meet for few minutes during our short visit to Kala Angan last December. It was a delightful messge to read about Roy Castelino and all his noble work towards promotion of Konkany language and Konkany culture in Mangalore. Each language is attached with a history of culture and heritage and therefore Konkany language also has its own roots. There are hardly a handful of Konkany entrepreneurs that dedicate so much of time, talent and their energy towards our Mother Tongue, and it is nice to admit that Roy Castelino has contributed so much so far for the Konkany culture that we all belong. There are always critics in our society, like any other society, who come up with timely comments that can be detrimental to so many noble individuals that give so much back to the Society. Roy Castelino has acknowledged his own short comings and we need to applaud him for his frankness and sincerity in the matter. When so many individuals give so much to the community, there are always elements who have the right to come up with their own opinions. This is a difficultn world and changing too fast with more difficulties that each of us have to confront. Thank you Roy for all your dedications to our community. Best of luck to you, as always.

I was fortunate to be a Part of this First Batch which has given me a rare insight into Humanity & End of Life Care. The doctors I interacted with during the course were in Tears when they shared some intimate instances with the End Stage patients. Dr. Becker provided very sensitive learning by his delicate handling of very delicate situations. This was a Course mainly for MD qualified Doctors, so I had a rare chance to witness the working of a Doctors mind. The intricacies & the emotions a Doctor undergoes when breaking Bad News to the Family. My whole Palliative Care Experience was of immense value when I had to personally face a Tragedy of my own. Dr. Becker was a pillar of Strength to me & spent hours being there.I Salute Dear Alfie for bringing us up Close with Dr. Becker’s Life Story. Here is a German, who has made India, his very own.

    In a socialist state such as Europe I wouldn’t be surprised if this chain snatcher gets the legal right to sue the victim for wearing imitation jewellery. A burglar has the right in the West to sue the home owner if he gets attacked during robbery for disproportionate use of force. This is what happens when people get too many rights in a system with no accountability.

    Another way of making money. I have experienced lot many times that they collect the hand baggage at the gates even if it is less that 7 kgs and if you have a back pack on your shoulder. Back pack cannot be considered as hand baggage as it contains only a laptop and travel documents. With such wierd way of acts, people have started to take advantage. Twice I carried frozen perishable foodstuff. Though I insisted that it has to go in the cabin at the gate they did took away my hand bag. While landed at my destination my hand bag never came and was reported missing. It could only arrive after 2 days, where the perishable foodstuff was all destroyed and AIE never accepted their mistake.

    SMR. Who ever blames an entire race or religion is 100% wrong, and in the same breath I would add that who ever covers up and refuses to speak against injustice should also be condemned. You are asking me to read history and all what happened several centures ago, but have you read Bill Durant’s book the Take over of India, this alone has left 80 million dead and counting. This is the single largest genocide in the World. In the present day you want to see what is going on, then please go to a website www.thereligionofpeace.com and you will see that since 9/11 there have been over 26240 terro attacks in the past 13+, this works out to about a 6 attacks a day. This website does not account for the terror attacks that were foiled, and if you add them them there the figure goes up by twice. By the way things are going this blood letting which has been going on for hundreds of years and is not going to stop in the forceable future. Especially, when people deliberately and intentionally twist the truth and blame every body else for their short comings, other than themselves.

  • From Original R.Pai on Mangaluru: Man Commits Suicide after being Recorded while Thrashed by Locals

    Nobody deserves this uncivilized treatment in the hands of some illiterate folks. So, let me get this straight. A man was tied to electric pole, thrown chilly powder in his eyes, assaulted in public by ‘local youth’ and the entire incident was video recorded using a phone. And, Police weren’t even aware of this incident ? If this man was torturing his wife and kid, how come it wasn’t reported to Police? I am not sure who to blame – Our unhealthy tendency to settle every conflict using instant beatings OR Police for failing to establish a strong culture of law and order in our society. Our legal system also bears a huge responsibility for being notoriously inefficient in delivering justice. Finally, I have a question for our media who made a big deal about some pub attack. How come this incident is not making to national level even though the video footage is available? Is it because his name is Vaasudeva Bhatta and this doesn’t fit your narrative?

    dylaan killed because he was part of the white supremist group-Mr.Jay Sir,The rights of blacks has been deprived in decades in Arathaid South Africa and so the colonial approach towards the black skin has never changed. Read the history of Australian aboriginals or French colonialism of Haiti the systematic brutality is nothing less than Roof. The same narrative,false stories and imaginary fears of take over by ‘Blacks’ in US or the minorities in ‘India’, are responsible for increasing racism and hate crimes. Sadly, mass media is yet to learn to be responsible in this regard. So Wade Michale page, Andres Breivik, James Holmes and Dylann Roof are never described as terrorists but as ‘insane gunman’, ‘white supremacist’, ‘Temple shooter’, ‘Extremist’, or ‘Fundamentalist’. Muslim shooter= entire religion guilty Black shooter= entire race guilty White shooter= mentally troubled lone wolf. It is rightly said new media lost its credibility and gratitude. Jai hind

      Sir, you state “The rights of blacks has been deprived in decades in Arathaid [sic] South Africa and so the colonial approach towards the black skin has never changed.” I am not qualified to either defend the rights of blacks, or castigating the whites for what they have done, and what they are doing. Representing a whole race is fraught with problems. Media usually does it. Simplifying such issues is not that simple. However, did you know that about 30% of Saudi Arabia’s population (and a sizable portion of other GCC countries) is made up of the African origin people? They were brought as slaves. And guess what Saudis call the African origin citizens even today? They call them Abd (= slave). Do these Abds get equal treatment? No. They are still in the third-grade category in Saudi Arabia. How many Abds are in the Shoura Council, the supreme appointed body of lawmakers – similar to our Rajya Sabha? None. How many Abds get teachers’ jobs? Hard to imagine if any get there! There is much more on Abds in the GCC. But I will let you investigate and write – in the interest of all the readers.

Dylaan killed because he was part of the white Supremist group which had no connection with religion, but Fahd Suleiman killed because he considered Shia’s as infidels which has everything to do with religion.

Pejaawara swamiji is not afraid of criticism and debates. This is how it should be in an open, free society where ideas compete and the best will survive. Nobody got hurt, nobody demanded any attacks on those questioning Bhagavad Geeta. Now, can you imagine anything similar to this in ‘peaceful’ belt from morocco to Kasmheera ? How come our fake-secular individuals don’t appreciate sanaathana dharma’s openness to face criticism and debate? They are very good at crying ‘saffron terrorism’!! No courage to utter a word on cartoon controversy, no courage to say a single word on daily incidents from mangaluru vimaana nildaana!! And, now, no decency to appreciate Sanaathana dharma’s tolerant culture and open mindset !! How sad and pathetic!!

      • From B. N. Pai. on Michael Jackson: The Magic, The Madness, The Whole Story now in Marathi

        Original Duplicate of USA asks, “Are you going to accuse Netaji of Nazi connections?” Then he offers to teach RSS fabricated history to the gullible! In fact, Netaji rebelled against Mahatma Gandhi, he formed “Forward Block” faction within Congress to fight against Gandhi, then fled the country and established connections with Hitler and Japan, as they were enemies of our enemy, i. e. Great Britain. The Indian Soldiers in the British Army, who did not heed to the call of Gandhi not to help the British in the World War ll, went to the Eastern War Theatre under Mountbatten to fight against the Axis Forces, comprising of Germany and Japan. When Japan defeated the British and imprisoned the Indian Soldiers as Prisoners of war, then and then only, they changed their allegiance and Joined Azad Hind Fawj of Subhas, just to get freedom from the Japanese army! There is a wrong perception that the persons who joined the AHF were all patriotic Indians. Most of them were not. Persons like Laxmi Sehgal, Hundi Vishnu Kamath IAS, etc. were exceptions, and they were not from the defeated lot of the British soldiers of Indian Origin! This is to teach Duplicate about the Original truth.

  • From shaikH mOHd rizwan on Kuwait: ISIS Claims Bomb Blast at Shia Mosque During Ramadan- 13 Killed

    repeating the same three line for millionth time in this forum-Atheist Mr.Original Pai Sir,Truth is always bitter.So the Modi government want’s to ‘go-slow’ on this saffron terror,so that they can remove all foot print of clandestine operation approved by Nagpur. The government is already proved good in issuing ‘clean chit’ certificate to criminals and rewarding them with promotions. The ‘Vibrant Gujarat’ is the classic example were half of the IPS officers wanted in ‘fake encounter’ is appreciated with highest positions. It is the same government languished hundreds of educated Muslim youth on false terrorism charges Maleagaon to Hubli. But Days after Maharashtra minority panel chief he talked of a survey of Muslims in jail, the CM Fadnavis government show the way out. Whereas accused in Madgaon blast where let free by Parikar . The Late Karkare Assassination is the well planned strategy to put the investigation under the carpet. I would recommend the forum to read ‘Who killed Karkare’ to understand the true conspiracy of saffron terror. Jai Hind

Can you pl. quote some new verses from somewhere which justify that? (NOT to say that stuff written somewhere or the other can justify the mayhem that is being carried out under the guise of some opiate called RELIGION?.

    Yes, Indeed!! It was a great moment in history. As his second term is approaching an end, Obama seems to be more and more relaxed and genuine in his approach. This is the same Obama we saw during 2007 campaign. Somehow, the political attacks from opposition and calculations to win the second term election had forced him to act in ways different from his true personality. I’m glad to see him back with all the force and genuine intent to address real problems in our society.

    Dear Joker Praveena Pinto, Remember – your rejected Visa resulting in ‘bhagna kanasu’ and a prolonged stay at Saudi farm is not an excuse to blame Doddanna and appa-maga bush team for everything!! The current violence and madness can be easily explained by the tribal and religious division that go all the way back to 7th century fantasy book. However, the habitual liars will always blame everything else except the real root cause for today’s madness. The rivalry between Saudi(sunni) and Iran(shia) factions and absence of democracy, human rights and individual freedom in ‘peaceful’ belt can’t be blamed on Sri Modiji or Sri Bush-ji !! There is only one simple reason behind this madness – you can always ask Sharia Shaikh if you are still not convinced!!

Your fasting from sunup to sundown (for reasons best known to you) is taking its toll on you! I would have at least prescribed you some ORS (Oral Rehydration Salts) You were good enough to say that you had proof and pics of the Gold smuggling at MIA and you also acknowledged that it was thanks to the Mangalorean Customs officials. Bravo Rampa! I always knew that you had it in you to accomplish a tough job like that! 🙂 Now, please be a good Chaddi boy and provide us with proof of my allegedly “rejected” visa. Pl. remember that your task must be MUCH more easier than your 56″ Thigale Manoos’ aka Dhann Ki Baat’s REJECTED visa. Hahahaha! And when that happened, even Peace TV, Thimmappa Gowda TV, Nat Geo and Cartoon Network ran SPECIAL shows on Podi’s rejected visa. Some ran on to become serials – real money spinners – MUCH better than your ‘Kyounki Saas Bi Kabhi Bahu thi’. Go Rampu…. utilize your hidden talents. Dig deeper and give us some solid facts. Don’t lose the plot at THIS stage, ok? By the way, please convey my regards to your extended family residing in some remote goat farm in Saudi Arabia. And tell you what ya Rampu’ji – when the calling comes, please don’t wait for Bill Maher to give you the go-ahead to migrate for good. Saudi needs Rampa’s like you. YOU need Saudi. Any clarifications….. I’m around. Tell your appa-maga team (Bush’jees) to smoke some more cigars, quaff cognac and ride broncos on their ranches in Texas. They WILL be absolved! Jai Rampaji Ki

There were three peaceful acts yesterday alone, not to mention many hundreds slaughtered in ‘peaceful state’ established by his black-flag-waving friends in Syria and Iraq. He also continues to blame Karkare’s death on RSS trying to protect his friends across the border. Well, no surprises here. We all know what he wants and who he supports.

  • From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Mangaluru: Doctors Should not Treat Patients as Revenue Generators - Dr Ganapathi

    What a wonderful message on Health Care and the relevant costs that comes from the Workshop that took place at Fr. Muller’s Hospital. Thank you, Dr. Ganapathi, for your timely and thoughtful message that will instill some useful ideas for the young Medical Doctors that are about to begin their Medical careers. Health Care is a costly investment nowadays due to the fact that more and more research has become prevalent and the patients require the best possible diagnosis and cure. Cost is a major factor for consideration both for the patients as well as the Medical Institute. This is where the Medical Insurance plays an important role in the United States where the patient’s rights are fully protected and the timely medical treatment is granted by the Medical Institution in consultation with the Insurance Underwriters. The Medical Institutes have to make sure where the money comes from towards the deserving medical treatment to the patients. The costly investments towards new instruments and sophisticated gadgets have to be recovered from somewhere. Countries such as India where the population is four times higher than the United States, the Medical needs are obviously higher and the research facilities also have to be expanded. All said and done, Doctors timely decisions have to be focused on the patients and the required treatments where the ultimate costs have to be carefully decided so that all the investments involved are protected somehow somewhere by giving the patients the best service possible. Medical profession is a pure dedication that the Medical authorities have to decide in a timely manner in consultation with the Insurance Companies or the Government authorities so that the required fees are protected and the patient gets the best deserved treatment. Fr. Muller’s Charitable Institute is a classic example where patients regardless of their faith or financial background are given the best possible treatment. Bishop Aloysius was telling me that quite a substantial portion of the patients get the admission in the hospital without any Insurance provision or any other support. This is a magnanimous gesture on the part of the Mangalore Diocese to render such a noble service to the patients. God’s merciful hand joins the hands and minds as well as hearts of all those Medical personnel and the best discretion is put in force to provide the best possible treatment. God bless Fr. Mullers Hospital and all those that are instrumental in providing the best possible treatment to the patients that seek medical treatment as outpatients or as inpatients.

I know you are still stuck in 7th century – but these days people prefer online version and they can easily find one by searching on google!! And, what Nazi association are you talking about? Did you hear it from your local madrasa ? Have you heard about Netaji Subhashchandra Bhose? He actually had direct contacts with both Nazi forces and Imperial Army in Japan!!

  • From shaikH mOHd rizwan on Kuwait: ISIS Claims Bomb Blast at Shia Mosque During Ramadan- 13 Killed

    Imagine what would be the fate of sanaathana folks Buddhists or Christians in the hands of these savages-Atheist Mr.Original Pai. Dear readers, The world terror strike came as needful relief to BJP and RSS both alike who remained sympathetic to ‘Saffron terror’. The recent disclosure by Special Public Prosecutor Rohini Salian in the Malegaon bomb blasts case, involving Hindutva terror, raises several disturbing questions.She has effectively blown the lid off a diabolical plan to pervert the cause of justice. As it is, it took an upright and courageous officer like ATS chief Hemant Karkare, martyred during the 26/11 attack on Mumbai, to uncover this conspiracy. It needs to be recalled that Hemant Karkare was roundly attacked and condemned by Mr. Advani, Mr. Modi and others leaders of the Sangh parivaar for this courageous and patriotic act. To“go slow” in the case involving Sadhvi Pragya, Col. Purohit, Swami Asseemanand (whose ashram in Dangs was patronised by, among others, the state’s then Chief Minister Mr. Narendra Modi) and a host of others. It raises several doubts and questionable about the Modi administration to fight against terrorism.He has left no time praising the iron lady of Bangladesh fight against terrorism but failed miserably eliminating ‘Saffron terror’ on of the biggest threat to the internal security of India. It is also shocking to read that the ongoing investigation itself has been stalled, particularly as names of some RSS bigwigs like Mr. Indresh Kumar had featured in judicial confessions as well as in the investigation reports. Raising grave concern over terror and riot accused coming out bail one by one, it seems is a part of larger conspiracy to free Hindutva terror accused. “This seems to a part of a larger pattern of partisan application of rule of law. In the last few months, almost all the Gujarat police officers accused of cold-blooded murders in the name of “encounters” have been granted bail. Some have even returned to active duty. Convicted criminals like ex-Minister Ms. Maya Kodnani and Mr. Babu Bajrangi are out on parole, instead of serving the long and harsh prison terms awarded to them in lieu of a death sentence. The CBI’s refusal to appeal against the strange exoneration of Mr Amit Shah, the BJP president has also raised serious questions. The Malegaon trial seems to be headed in a similar direction”. At that time, various leaders from BJP and Shiv Sena had called the officers investigating the case including Hemant Karkare as ‘a traitor to the nation’ and later offered one crores check to widow of Karkare seems political stunt. If Modi government is serious about pursing terrorism, then it should reveal the closed door talk with PM in the office with RSS supremo Mohan Baghwat and investigate the leads from control room who put Late Karkare in to booby trap. The government should also learn from Mumbai blast and coimbatore blast reciprocal to the aftermath of communal violence.If government is serious about ‘development’,it should give preference to passing ‘communal violence bill’ and prosecute the accused to death sentence.The country has alarmingly seen steep hike of 600 communal disturbance under his leadership. The Nuclear armed country like Pakistan has experienced jeopardizing economy,safety and security battling expensive war in his own soil.India should learn from its neighbours mistake and stem out terrorism once for all. This terrorism strike is internal delibration of vested interest in the west to control economic swaths of rich country flourished by ‘black gold’. Iraq,Libya,Yemen,Syria, Sudan …are the few victims who paid dearly pushing them to total collapse. Ironically no Islamic terror group is posing challenge to the Israel raising serious doubt about origin of these terror group.Whereas widow and orphan maker Jr.,Sr.,Donald,Clinton are enjoying there luxury of loot of ME continue to seek to their dominance through their dynasty. While Quran reject killing and preach peace sadly group misuse Islam to tarnish through its savage act in glaze of paid mass media. Jai Hind

      Pincode Pai, Roy, Joker Praveena, AS Mathew and other followers of Sharia rule – are you listening? – Maha Joker Pai Pyare Rampu, I know that these are very difficult times for you as you are on a month-long fast from sunup to sundown. Maybe you are doing it as penance for Sushmataji’s transgressions or Vasu Raje’s or that maverick called Srimana Lalitha Kumara Modi’ji, I don’t know and frankly speaking, I don’t care to know the reasons. However, you know that fasting can make one weak, get wobbly in the knees and induce hallucinations! That is quite understandable and you have my deepest empathy and fathomless sympathy! Ahem! However, your self-imposed fast will not exonerate you from deep-seated ignorance. You should go ask those blessed fellows called Srimana Bush Senior’ji & Junior’ji as to who the ISIS is, how it came about to be and what they are doing in Iqaq’a, Syria, Libya, Tunisia and ‘Kuwaita’ – shooting and/or bombing themselves and others to smithereens! You see Srimaana Rampu’ji, your beloved Bush appa-maga Supermen had no clue about the Levant (Iraq, Syria). He thought invading Iraq would be as easy as directing a Cowboy movie, say, ‘For a few $$ More’. Come riding hell for leather….shoot the baddies from the hip even before they can take off their 10 gallon hats and once the baddy lies grovelling just about to give up his ghost, smoke a cigar… tap the ashes on his still-hot body, climb on his blessed ‘hoss’ and ride off into the sunset. Mission accomplished and problem solved! Viva La Yumreeka! :):) Heard of boots on the ground? Hahahaha! Come on ya Rampu. Please use your superior persuasive powers to drum up some support for the poor Kurds. Now, that’s a Good Boy and please stop hallucinating. THINK STRAIGHT for a change! Good luck!

What would be the reaction of our self-hating secular individuals on this forum and other places? smiles.. Look – I am opposed to naming any public places or properties after any person. We should use a logical system based on alphabets and numbers so it is easier for everyone to understand where a street or building is. The madness of naming every airport, railway station, street and building after political/religious/local leaders need to stop.

    • From Praveen on Mangaluru: Activists Urge MCC to Rename 'Falnir Road' after 'Mother Teresa'

      … consider a situation where a Hindu group demands renaming of a street after one of their monks or leaders like Sai Baba or RaamaDevaa – Original Rampu Err… excuse me! BabaNNA RaamaDeva a LEADER? He is a JUST a leader among business tycoon ya Rampa. 🙂 LOOK ya Rampu – situations have arisen wherein the ‘Chaddi Balaga’ had instructed Smriti Irani to “celebrate” Christmas Day as ‘Gudda’da Governance Day’. What was the logic in THAT? A perpetual itch in the jhomblass chaddi which hasn’t been scratched adequately since the time of your hero GoalMaalkara? 🙂 By the way, you are as silent as a Temple mouse on the Dalitgate/Sushmaataji/Vasu raje GATE. 🙂 And that Gadhekaari giving a clean chit to Vasu Raje! Hahahahaha. And not just about 1 year back, our fearless leader thumped his 56 inch chest (waist, actually!) and roared – “Na Khaaounga.. na Khilane doonga”. Now his Khilaadi Jodi ministers are caught dipping their fingers in some Lalitha Modi’s ill-gotten till. The 56″ waist-thumping has stopped! It is silence and business as usual. I still HAVEN”T received my 15 lakhs of the much promised Kaala Dhan. I only get “Mann Ki Baat”. How I wish he addressed “Kaala Dhann Ki Baat”? And NOW, we have your Pankaja Munde accused of some 200+ crore scam. Hahahahaha. Forget all that ya Rampu. That is ALL beyond your grasp. Stick to the point. Please provide easy proof …… like you have from already posted pics and proof of MIA gold smuggling! provide one SCRAP of paper of my allegedly rejected USA visa! Hahahahhaha. See, what a Joker YOU are!

    Honestly, the subsidy amounts, ranging from 10 to 15 crores a year, are not the biggest problem we face. However, this is a sign of much a bigger problem we have. These elected officials have a sense of entitlement and demand special privileges wherever they go. The subsidized cafeteria to all the special convoy and security arrangements and bungalows, these incompetent, corrupt politicians behave as if they deserve all these goodies. Very unfortunate.

  • From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on 'Thank You' Dear Sr Nirmala...

    Sr. Nirmala was a special gift from Blessed Mother Theresa because it was a special place to take over when Blessed Mother Theresa breathed her last. Sr. Nirmala was kind and humble, and she attributed all her virtues of love and charity for late Blessed Mother Theresa by maintaining a low profile in all her noble work and submitting her daily duties in the hands of God. Sr. Nirmala must be already in heaven conversing with Blessed Mother Theresa and assuring her that all the noble work that she behind in this world is going thru all the smooth stages and the needy and the deserving are always on the increase in all parts of the world. Blessed Mother Theresa may not like to hear that message but Sr. Nirmala will satisfy her by telling her that the needy and suffering will never decline in this difficult world. Thank you, Sr. Nirmala for all your good work that you rendered after Mother Theresa’s death. You will be another candidate for sainthood because you have done so much so well by maintaining all that Blessed Mother Theresa desired.

These nine children will grow so fast under the best guidance of their beloved parents and will turn out to be the jewels of the Musical world. We wish we were in Mangalore to witness their talents in Music at Bhajjodi. That’s the best way to give back to the society in the presence of the elderly at the Home for the Aged. We would like to visit the family some time in Houston and discuss about their future plans in visiting Mangalore so that we too can be there and join their happiness by hosting their group talents and show to the wider society of Mangalore. Thanks, Alfie, for your detailed article. You too are an asset for our community. Keep up the good work.

By imposig emergency and draconian rules, an already unpopular Indira Gandhi further slided to abysmal depths and after she withdrew the emergency after 19 moths, her party was routed at the hustings. I wonder if Indira Gandhi knew about Sanjay Gandhi’s dirty role durig the emergecy, especially sterilisation razing houses and other acts of goondaism. He used to fly aroud the country along with his wife, Maneka, and was driven across with full security escorts that are only accorded to VIPs.

How can anyone take our judiciary systems seriously when it consistently fails to punish thousands of corrupt politicians and businessmen while handing over such a harsh punishment to this guy for Rs.600 bribe? This guy got more than a year of imprisonment for every Rs.100 bribe!!! Our politicians deal in hundreds of crores and our judiciary seems to have absolutely no teeth to punish those guys.

Why is it that 100% of the smuggling cases at MIA are related to 14% of the population? Do you think there is a serious issue with your community? Why are they not excelling in art, science and education? Instead, why are they in news for all the wrong reasons – from smuggling to terrorism?

    • From B. N. Pai. on Mangaluru: Customs officers Seize Ganja Worth RS 5 Lakh at MIA

      Dear Paimaam, you have questioned educated Muslim Sheik why he does not guide the misguided fellow muslims! If the so called educated Muslims are alienated from their common folk for having joined hands with the Muslim Haters, he would fail to mould their attitude. If we find fault with Mr. Sheik for having ended all his posts with ‘Jai Hind’ and we scold him, as if Hind is the private property of the RSS, how could you expect any cordiality from him? How could he enthuse the common Muslim to be patriotic Indians? In the initial stages I used to question his posts, when I felt that he was questioning our religious belief. But, later, when I found that he was defending his faith, at times attacking the faith of those who attacked his religion, I found that to retaliate is his right. Paimaam, accept him as a patriot and let him mould the opinion of his brethrine to make them all the best hunan assets of India! Why the RSS stooge and BJP Secretary appointed by Modi, Mr. Ram Madhav, finds fault with our Vice President Ansari for not participating in the Yoga Roadshow on RSS Founder Dr. Hedgewar’s death anniversary? Is it a fault for Ansari to be born a Musalman? Do any one chose to be born in any womb and is it not a fact that birth is a “fait accompli” and that too known only ex-post facto? If you attack him to impress and please the Hindus, it is the greatest disservice by you to Hinduism and India! Thank you.

          Original duplicate, I raised fundamental points. I asked, ” If Vice president Ansari was born from a Muslim womb as of his choice?” and further asked “if, in India, to be born a non-Hindu, is a sin?”. You did not answer these fundamental points raised by me”! Sir, you have named the logic put forth by me as “suicidal logic”. Yes, indeed suicidal, for the logic I presented was propounded by Mahatma Gandhi. You rightly called it suicidal. I say rightly, because, because of that logic Mahatma Gandhi was ruthlessly murdered by Hindutva forces like your RSS and Hindu Maha Sabha! Mr. Original Duplicate, your so called “cartoon Post” was edited by the EYT and was incomplete. So, I could not respond. However, the claim that you made “intellectual honesty test” is laughable, to say the least! Paimaam, you and “intellectual honesty” are “mutually exclusive” and can not co-exist. Your’s is a scientifically proven fact like the Max Plank’s theory of mutual exclusion!

    One has to pay no attention to the politicians accusing their counterparts on a policy issue. They are all the same behind the curtains. It’s just the show they put on in front of the public to remain popular. In another news article you may have seen the BJP party members were seen accusing the ruling Congress party for the transfer of MCC commissioner. What many people fail to see is that the building mafia behind the curtains is running the show. Politicians are only the puppets who themselves have large interest in the real estate business through various not-so-visible arms. Common man is the sucker.

    Timely message and also a wonderful message for the world to read and digest. Thank you, Archbishop Moras for your timely appeal for the public to appreciate the facts and consequences attached to these kind of ruthless acts. The entire society has to wake up and educate one another the consequences attached to unimaginable acts such as these. Nuns all over India from different denominations do so much for the humanity with so little awards. Nuns have great deal to sacrifice for so many good causes all over India. Your appeal to the community at large is appropriate and timely. We all have a consciencious duty to share our views and create a new awakening to the society the possible dangers that can bring chain of sad events if we do not make timely warnings available to the public. The Government also has a duty to take severe action to these kind of sad atrocities so that people are aware of the punishments that await if they do not behave as human beings. We live in a difficult world with so many sad events that take place in our daily life. The sad tragedy that took place at Charleston, South Carolina this week where nine devout Christians were slaughtered by a twenty one year old kid while they were conducting their Bible classes in the late evening hours in their historic Emanuel Church. Prayers are perhaps the best healer in sad situations such as these, and the people of America regardless of their color or culture have united together to condemn the tragic atrocity. Kind regards to you, Archbishop Moras for your timely interventions. Take care, and may God be with you in all your daily dedications to life.

      Original RSS and Duplicate Paimaam of USA and RSS Ram Madhav, secretary of BJP, both sail in the same boat! Ram Madhav knows that Vice President Ansari was not requested to participate in the Modi’s Yoga Road Shaw. Yet, he wants to cast aspersions on our vice president because he happens to be a Muslim. He thinks to be born a Muslim in India is a sin, and therefore they are traitors. Ram Madhav said Ansari did not participate in Yoga Road Shaw in spite of a request to participate and he did so to point out that he is a Muslim and Muslims are against Yoga. A press release from vice president’s office said that he was not requested to participate. Ram Madhav changed his stance and said that the vice president was ill and he did not participate due to illness and he shed crocodile tears for the “mistaken” accusation. The vice presidents office clarified that he was not ill at all! This is how RSS makes yoga the exclusive domain of Hindus and impresses Hindus that even our vice president is a religious begot! Do these RSS begot think that just because Modi wants Yoga to be celebrated to commemorate the death anniversary of RSS founder Keshav Baliram Hedgewar, and hoodwinks the UN to chose that day unknowingly, have we no fundamental right not to participate in the road show?

    • From B. N. Pai. on Kundapur: Akshatha Devadiga Death Case - Two Arrested

      Original Duplicate questions the arrests of criminals from a particular community, alleging police to be notoriously known for ‘fixing’ the cases to avoid public backlash! If Raghupati, or Renuka.. or Ravi or Reddy or Yeddy or Sushma or Vasundhara or Hinduja or Modi etc are involved, all these questions would be raised. But, if a Mammade or Soja are involved, police can arrest and punish for no fault of theirs! This is “RSS jurisprudence”

      • From Original R.Pai on Kundapur: Akshatha Devadiga Death Case - Two Arrested

        Dear BN Paimaam, My comments on Mangaluru Vimaana Nildaana incidents are fully backed up by photos and proof provided by customs officials!! I was wondering if Police had similar proof or forensic evidence in this case of murder. Unfortunately, you are not able to think clearly today as you seem to be celebrating ‘ajeerna-day’ while rest of India is celebrating Yoga-day!! smiles…

  • From Original R.Pai on Bengaluru: FIRs against Kumaraswamy, Yeddyurappa in denotification case

    Kummy and Yeddy – They both belong to parappana agrahaara. Our society and legal system has miserably failed in punishing these disgusting characters. Sooner they go, better for our society.

    • From B. N. Pai. on Bengaluru: FIRs against Kumaraswamy, Yeddyurappa in denotification case

      Modi begged Yeddy to come back to the BJP even though he had set up his party of corrupts, land mafia, mining mafia and shady characters. Having won the election on branding Congress as corrupt and black money protectors, the very same corrupt Yeddy is made the Vice President of BJP! Don’t you know that Modi has virtually picked him up from Parappana Agrahaara. Do not find fault with “our society and legal system”, saying that it “has miserably failed in punishing these disgusting characters. Sooner they go, better for our society.” Paimaam, as proved by above incontrovertible facts, as long as your Modi is there at the helm of affairs, how could you even dream about punishing the corrupts, black monied, the criminals and traitors? For example, you branded Sushma Swaraj and Vasundhara Raje as undesirable wrong doers in the BJP, and your Modi is shameless not to take any action against these corrupt and unpatriotic RSS people! They continue rule us in spite of their crimes. Modi and you preach that which you do not practice and to that extent both of you are cheating people. By the by, how Modi’s “Lalitaasana” progressing, Original Duplicate Paimaam?

    Kudos to Mangalorean team for standing up for justice and corruption-free India. This requires integrity and courage. I have a feeling that this report will not go to down very well with local Congress leadership and supporters. But, journalism is all about reporting facts and truth. Once again, great job!!

  • From Col CP Muthanna on What is Kodagu’s Future in the Years Ahead? - Asks Air Marshal K C Cariappa

    Kodagu is the Principal Catchment of River Cauvery and provides almost fifty percent of the total inflow to Cauvery. River Cauvery is the lifeline to more than Eight Crore people and Six Hundred Major industries across South India. Kodagu is perhaps the most important district in the entire Country! It is therefore in the NATIONAL INTEREST to protect the Kodagu Landscape. Against this background it is with growing dismay that we see Kodagu being ravaged by the day due to brisk land conversions,unregulated urbanisation, invasive tourism, ‘development projects’ causing massive tree felling and large scale sand mining that is destroying our rivers and streams. So what is the way forward? The answer lies in the entire district being declared as an Eco Sensitive Zone under the provisions of the Environment Protection Act. Mount Abu, Panchgani, Mahabaleshwar, Matheran etc have been declared as ESZs as they are important catchment areas. Kodagu definitely qualifies for this tag. If the policy makers are not prepared to take a call due to vested interests, then the matter must go to Court. The declaration of Kodagu as an ESZ should not however burden the people of Kodagu. Hence the provisions of the ESZ for Kodagu should be so articulated that there are no draconian measures that disturb the existing plantation and agriculture practices. The concept of Payment of Ecological Services [PES] must be implemented for Kodagu. The College of Forestry, Ponnampet has prepared a document on the scope of PES for Kodagu and these recommendations can be the basis for taking the idea forward. This will ensure that the people of Kodagu are able to live in an environment of Social, Financial, and Cultural Security, and it will hep to create a Win-Win situation.

  • From Original R.Pai on Pope Francis on the Care for our Common Home

    This was the easy part. Now Pope has to convince millions of Catholics here in USA that climate change is real. The conservative party, backed by Christians, doesn’t believe in climate change. In fact, the conservative machines and Christians (including catholic politicians like Rick Santorum) have already started attacking Pope for his views. The Fox news, darling of christian conservatives, is leading the attacks on Pope. I wonder what our friend Fr.Cedrick Prakasha has to say about this.

  • From Original R.Pai on Tailor held for taking woman's sizes

    Remember – this is what Sharia Shaikh wants in India!! If you want proof, ask him about this incident and get his opinion! Also, it is important to remember that if this backward ideology ever takes over Bharatha, don’t ever expect any opposition from Pincode Pai and other fake secular groups. They lack courage to stand up to these 7th century tribal forces as we all witnessed during cartoon controversy.

        Once again, our sharia follower Pincode Pai intentionally acts like a fool even though he knows better!! I was referring to backward ideology that resulted in this specific religious policing and punishment. Instead, he tries to trivialize the issue by bringing up ‘tailors association’. This is what we need to remember – Pincode Pai and other fake secular groups are already following sharia rules imposed in India. This is why they will never answer a simple question on Cartoon!! smiles.. The uninterrupted ‘peaceful belt’ would have extended all the way from Morocco to Indonesia if it wasn’t for legendary forces like Sikhs, Shivaji and today’s RSS. Is there any surprise that sharia follower Pincode pai also happens to be anti-RSS ? smiles…

  • From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on When you enter India

    Thanks very much for sharing your personal viewpoints on all the “nine yards” of anxieties, frustrations, inconveniences as well as the experiences that one goes thru while coming back to India and going thru all the Immigration and Customs formalities. All said and done, you have not mentioned about the magnificent International Airport complex in Mumbai that you witnessed upon your arrival. Perhaps your article was written before the new Airport in Mumbai was established. All said and done, you have all the valid points to share the real experiences of “life” while returning to India which is not a “Karma Bhoomy” but it is truly a “Maathra Bhoomy”. We have been frequently travelling back to India for the past 58 years, and our experiences have been pleasantly favorable indeed. We go thru all the situations that you have gone thru, Mr. Uttam, but coming back home is always a joy that money cannot substitute. For the past 58 years ever since we left India for the first time, India has produced nearly a billion additional people. A billion people more in India is more than three times the size of American population today !! A billion additional people to feed, cloth, shelter and protect is in itself a burden that we cannot comprehend even today after forty plus years of Education. Coming back to India and seeing the gigantic progress all over in spite of all the odds and abnormal situations is fully anticipated. People are people – wherever you go and whatever you do, but to come back home and witness the remarkable progress all over is always an opportunity that we would like to embrace despite all other inconveniences. God is indeed kind and merciful in our “Maathra Bhoomy”, and the kindness and mercy pours out of all the people from India – whether it is the Immigration or Customs, whether it is the airport baggage handlers or the taxis, whether it is the hotel receptionists or tourist guides. There is a warm and friendly attitude from most of our hitherto existences, and we have always remained grateful to our “Maathra Bhoomy” that has displayed more courtesies and more hospitalities than many other dozens of countries that we have visited for the past fifty eight years. “Dhanyawadh” and God bless.

  • From B. N. Pai. on Bengaluru: BJP not embarrassed by Sushma-Modi row, Sadananda Gowda

    Modi’s cabinet minister, Laughing Sadananda, says Congress allowed Modi to escape to England. But, the fact remains that when his crimes were detected he was in England. Sushma’s husband is fugitive Modi’s legal manager for twenty years and Sushma’s daughter is his advocate for seven years. Sushma makes clandestine deals to help fugitive Modi to escape to Portugal having no extradition treaty with India for protecting the criminal Modi by sending him to the safe heaven. Sushma is busy helping Reddy brothers escape punishment and retain ten thousand crore black money. For, till he was put in jail she was collecting her portion of the black money and supplying a portion of that to the RSS and BJP! Rajasthan’s BJP Chief Minister, her son, her daughter-in-law, and many other RSS people are business partners of Modi’s corrupt empire. Yet, they are good and therefore should not be accused of corruption. The very foundation of RSS Empire is black money as is evident from the Hinduja Brothers. RSS has admitted that the Hindujas are their sponsors and the Hindujas in tern have admitted in the Court that they were the sole beneficiaries of secret Bofors payments and our Court held that Bofors kickbacks were paid without violating any Indian law or agreement, solely to Hindujas. Poor Rajiv Gandhi was hanged for he could not withstand the blitzkrieg of the fascist RSS Gobbels of India! First, for being Rajiv’s family friend Amitaab Bachchan was accused of supplying money to Rajiv. When he could escape from court order, another family friend too was accused of the same and he was Quattrocchi! To be family friend is a crime if Congress is concerned, but not even the husband, the daughter, the son or the daughter-in-law is not! For, RSS is above law and morality! All I said above is decided by the Indian Courts when Vajpayee was the Prime Minister, and Vajpayee did not take in appeal even a single decision given by the Court, thereby admitting that the RSS and the BJP made false allegations and got political power at the cost of getting innocent Rajiv Gandhi killed! If the Original duplicate denies my statement and alleges this as twist, I can produce all the court decisions, provided this forum permits me to do so, for they are very very voluminous.

  • From joe Gonsalves on Mangaluru: 'Don't Fall in Love with Bus Driver 'Cause he Offered You Free Rides'- Fr Santhumayer at 'Women's Cell' Launch

    It is just a few days since Rev. Father Michael Santhumayor took charge of Milagres College as the Principal. It is evident that he has taken to his responsibilities very seriously. ‘WOMEN’S CELL’ is an URGENT – LONG FELT need and Father Michael has lost no time in highlighting this need. Indeed he has been very practical in his advice to the students that utmost caution should be exercised by them while dealing with certain situations. These days one reads about so many instances of young girls being mislead by young men with false promises. In the context of the increasing number of young ladies falling a prey to false promises by young men – Father Michael has advanced the RIGHT ADVICE to students who can make good use of the same while dealing with certain specific situations of a section of the society. Kudos to you Father Michael and may this seminar be a forerunner of many to follow.

  • From Ramdas on Premature Transfer of Strict and Smart MCC Commissioner Hephsiba RK- We Have Lost a Gem

    We all hoped that with a dedicated and transparent commissioner like Hephshiba, MCC would have functioned in the right track, without lobbying and corruption-now that greed mongers kicked her out of the office, imagine the fate of MCC would be in the future days. Wishing Hephshiba all success in her job assigned to her in Vijayapura- she will be a big asset to the dept there, unless he staff don’t co-operate with her. I think corruption is a major hazard in our society. We would have to try our best to decrease this corruption- because in every govt. or pvt dept, corruption does exist no matter what. I think nepotism is a big corruption in India , as well as Kudla. So we need to stop corruption for our future.
