"Kanzaar Basti" in Rajasthan

I have some experience to share with you Guys....This experience I got when I went home on February 2009.

After staying few days at home I planned to visit one Hanuman temple near to my village....

But I was thinking how to visit this place because in some places like that transportation is not so easy….. ..especially in Rajasthan there are hundreds of villages where No Road, No electricity and No Buses.... People travel by there 11 no. vehicles for around 3 to 6 kms and then they get some buses to travel....

But when I talked to my father about going there then I came to know that his friend is serving there as Medical officer and I can go with him...
I was happy that this became so easy for me to visit this place and I did not need to walk 6 km to visit that place....

So I met to doctor Uncle...A medical officer in that area..and went to Balaji temple with him...
He went to his office and told me to meet him there....

I visited Hanumanji temple and came back to his office in 30 mins....It was around 12:30 PM and Uncle told me that we will be going home around 2:00 PM...

So I was sitting there on a chair...which was basically for patients but nobody was coming to hospital so I was able to use it....after around 15 mins 2 ladies came to that place and started talking with Doctor....were telling that PF + has spread in “Kanzzar Basti” a lot (PF + is one level higher then malaria)....those ladies were medical nurses who generally visits those Basti's at least once in a month


Let me tell you something about "Kanzzar Basti"...U might not have heard about this term before...Let me introduce you about this...
Kanzzar is one community in Rajasthan also called "kaalbeliyaa" or "sapera"...Earlier they used to do "Gaana Baazana" for kings and earning money with this work...slowly slowly things started changing and India got Independence...
All Kingdoms got over and there was no ruling of Kings…..slowly Raajputaana families stopped calling Kanzzars for "Gaana Baazana"...and It impacted a lot to Kanzaars....

Also Kanzaars are treated as lower cast or "achoots" so nobody touches them and nobody gives them any Job....
No one calls them in society meeting....Also Kanzaars are not having any farmlands so that they can have dependency on agriculture....

And you know that It is really tough to live if you don’t have any job….if you don’t have any earning resources....

So they started living in isolated places ...far away from repudiated societies....and now they are struggling a lot to live a good and healthy life...

So come back to Doctor Sahib and two young nurses....they were discussing what to do...Doctor sahib told that he has already raised his concern to main office and doctor's team will be visiting soon to that place....But I requested to doctor sahib to visit that place today itself as we came to know that already two young people died due to PF+....

So we went to Kanzar basti...I was shocked and horrified to see them and their living standards...they were living like "AADIWAASI PEOPLE"......their homes were completely surrounded by trees and the environment was completely different .....

There were lots of mosquitoes around and they were not looking good at all....I interacted with them and came to know lot more....

One Old man was sitting there...I greeted him with Rajasthani way with saying RAAM RAAM...and he nodded back by RAAM RAAM and started saying that sahib we do not have daily food to eat...our life is completely based on bagging and it is very difficult lo live life with depending on others....
Our two children were died and we do not have money to go in hospitals for better treatment...

As we know that "ROTI KAPDA AND MAKAN" are most necessary and very basic things to live and they were struggling for these basic things only...forget about education and other facilities....
Looked like they were living in completely isolated world where nobody was there to interact with them....nobody was there to listen to them....

Also It was so sad to hear that Government sanctioned 1 lakh to each family for new houses, now its more then 5 years and they are yet to receive that money....I don’t think that they will get this money in near future...may be already in papers it might have given to them....

Doctor uncle gave them some pills and suggested them the ways to avoid PF+....
But I was so sad to see them living in such life....

Now guys please tell me that who is responsible for this....After so many years of independence there are so many people still living life like this....
Will this kind of problems be solved in near future....will the Government come forward to help them out.....It is still a big question...

But whoever read this ....please think about them...and if you find such communities who are struggling then please try to provide as much help as you can.....

Thanks

SRI LANKA : NEW CHALLANGES AHEAD

Sri lankan government finnal won 37 month battle with LTTE and its an end of civil war which was started from 1983.
Yesterday Sri lankan Govt announced that LTTE supremo Prabhakaran is dead. But some tamil groups are claiming that he is still alive.Now its not the matter of Prabhakarn dead or alive.
Now this is the time of restructuring the country.Already 5000 tamil community people died and thousands of people have become homeless.
Now the whole world is watching to SriLanka that how this country and its government will deal with this situation and will help lankan tamilians to find new lifes.....
I feel that government must show sympathy to tamil people as soon as possible rather then celebrating the win against LTTE.
Government must realise their problem and take action on the issues of tamilians in srilanka. Because if government fails to do that then tomorrow someone else may have chance to influence the people in the other direction and again it will be a problem for Island.
So what Government must do:-
1. Sympathy and harmony with tanilians.
2. Faster work for relocation
3. Providing all medical and other facilities to the families
4. Political and social arrangement with themIt will be great if some tamil people join the government and take responsibilty to build nationality and values among them
5. Must work along with International community.

The actual problem is still alive and the problem is that The majority population of Sri Lanka, the Sinhalese, were repressing the minority Tamil population. This problem hasn't gone away.
Also Srilankan president has already ignored the international community's plea to for a cease-fire to allow the hundreds of thousands of trapped (mostly Tamil) civilians to escape.
Now if he will not gain the confidence of International community then it may lead to political problems for srilanka in near future.

The support is needed because he has to find a way to integrate the Tamil people into civic and social life and that can not be done all alone. Lots of fund is needed, UN's help is needed and that can be done only when they are open to listen others.

Brian Orland a great jounralist has already suggested that The Sri Lankan government must express to the Tamil population that they are a cared for and valued part of the Sri Lankan populace, and place a particular emphasis on winning over the Tamil youth.Tamil youth show a natural proclivity towards armed revolt, and they played a significant part in the rebel movement that began the civil conflict. A scenario in which Sri Lanka slips back into civil conflict casts them in a starring role. To prevent this scenario, the Sri Lankan government must concentrate its efforts on the Tamil youth to ensure they find economic opportunities and their place in the democratic process.

IS U.S. A THREAT TO INDIA AND ASIA...

I wanted to write on this topic long ago since I see the influence of US has grown in ASIA from past couple of years.......I would like to through some positive points here to make a decision on the main heading....

It all started with IRAQ and AFGANISTAN WAR...
Let’s discuss one by one...

Why US attacked on IRAQ.....
US started WAR by saying that IRAQ has weapons of mass destruction (WMD). According to US, IRAQ was the threat to whole world since Saddam developed biological weapons.
But everyone knows that the fight was for OIL and US wanted to secure his OIL "Khazzana" for near future.....
But In 2005, the Central Intelligence Agency released a report saying that no weapons of mass destruction had been found in Iraq.
So according to reports main causes of US war with IRAQ were as follows:-

1. Wanted to keep alive his empire of dollar:-
The War to Save US Dollar article explains that “The Americans could live with Saddam until he started selling oil for euros instead of U.S. dollars. Then the Europeans could live with him.”

IRAQ with some European countries wanted to re-shape the global economical system by converting it from a petrodollar to a petroeuro system and US did not want to loose his empire of petrodollar.

2. Save US oil resources:
US wanted to save his Oil resources for his better future and wanted to offer cheap oil to his countryman but both were not possible until US could have used some other countries natural resources.
Since IRAQ was the second largest known oil reserves in the world. US wanted to theft this and even they made all analysis that how the theft of Iraqi oil would pay for the war and be a great benefit to US corporations and the average American.
This article “Why Bush Jr. Wants War on Iraq - A Crisis Really about Saudi Arabia" clearly explains this.

3. To have a presence in Arab Areas:-
This WAR resulted presence of US in ARAB nations. Now US is in centre of ARAB and can control anything and everything in ARAB.
Now it is very easy for US to make targets for IRAN and other ARAB countries and even tried to have a war with IRAN in the name of "IRAN...A Nuclear threat to the whole world".

Afghanistan War:-
The War in Afghanistan, which began on October 7, 2001. The reason they told to International community is that The aim of the invasion is to find the Osama bin Laden and other high-ranking al-Qaeda members and put them on trial, to destroy the whole organization of al-Qaeda, and to remove the Taliban regime which supported and gave safe harbor to al-Qaeda so that 9/11 incident never happens again.

But this Taliban as per the report was created by US only during AFGAN- Russia War so that Russia will not be able to succeed to have control over Afghanistan. Hilary Clinton only made this statement in 2009.

Also some expert says that 9/11 was created by US only...I m not sure how much truth in this ...But I suspect here that why US is going to kill Taliban and Al-Qaeda if they are the inventions of US only....Is this the way to have control over Afghanistan so that US can have a great base...Expert said YES.....Also it is thoughtful.....
After gaining control over Afghanistan it was very easy to have threat for 3 billion people who live in India and China....and also over many more small countries....So it covers control over all powerful Asian countries...

Now But US has not stopped it yet....After gaining control over Afghanistan...US started attack on Pakistan's tribal area...
Some report says that Taliban had a base there and US want to finish Taliban....
What do you think??? Is this true????..

Let’s discuss something else ..
Let’s have a look on 26/11 on India...

After 26/11 everyone pointed finger on Pakistan and investigation is still going on...But interesting thing is that the technology that terrorist used is nowhere in use by Pakistan and terror outfits...
Whole world has an impression that some terror outfit in Pakistan who had done 26/11...
But does it look so easy...
I have a view here...But no proof...let’s discuss it...
What I feel is that there might be a chance that this operation is made by CIA and ISI together in such a way that whole world will look in the way that they want to show...

So Pakistan will get a bad image in world community and America will be able to pressurize for more DRONA attacks in Pakistan....and slowly slowly...Pakistan will fall in the hand of US like Afghanistan...

I pointed out this after Pakistani president Zardaari made an official statement that CIA and ISI were together for so many operations earlier...Now still there is chance that they are together...

Now why Pakistan??...

If you have a control over Pakistan then it’s just a border away to China and India....
And US have done the same...
So now India and China can never show the finger on US...since US is very near to do anything. Everything...

So I strongly feel that US has come very near to these countries and there will be lot of influence from US to these countries...

Latest news from Times of India unveils the following:-

"The Left on Thursday accused the US of "brazen interference" in India's internal affairs in the wake of reports that its top envoy here had met political leaders allegedly canvassing against their role in the next government.

"If the reports are true, then this is gross interference in our internal affairs by the US. Its imperialist character has once again revealed itself through its brazen interference in the affairs of an independent country," CPM Politburo member Sitaram Yechury said here.

US is accessing India in the name of INDO-US deal....

So I feel that future of ASIA does not look good. I sense that there is something bad going to happen...I do not know what....But I feel ...something bad.....

Please share your Views...And pray to save Asia...

I am adding US president’s statemet…
President-elect Barack Obama on Monday said that terror modules functioning in South Asia represented the biggest threat to the United States. Obama told a group of reporters that the US cannot tolerate a world where innocents are killed by extremists based on twisted ideologies...

What you will say....
Give me the answers…How many people died due to south asia…
I don’t think you have any answer….Let me ask one more question…

How many people died due to America’s war in Asia…
Afganistan:- 706,899 people all to gather that were killed
IRAQ :- 269,000


"Please note that these are my views and there is no proof of the statement that I am making here...If any country or govt feels that this content should not have on blog the please feel free to contact me. I will remove this content from this blog. "

Can one vote make a difference?

People might be thinking that why I am writing on this after the voting of all phases got over.
But I was watching closely this election and got a lot input from the people about this in this period of time.

Lets first hear from some of the people about their opinion:-

Prabhu Chawla a generalist says:

Each vote counts. There are many candidates who won or lost an election just by one vote. If you have the right to vote, please go and exercise it for the sake of democracy.


Abhay singh a software engineer says in his blog:
One of my colleagues in the office could not vote here in Bombay as he is only registered to do so in his home city of Calcutta.

Both of the opinion are taken in consideration in the coming discussion.

Before discussing on the main topic lets have a brief idea of this time of elections:

MORE THAN 16 per cent among 5,573 candidates contesting in the first three phases of Lok Sabha elections in the country have criminal records. Their number is 909. According to the data released by National Election Watch, most major political parties have fielded candidates with criminal records, with top four parties being Congress (100), BJP (98), BSP (88) and SP (39).

314 candidates in 4rth pole have criminal records pending against them. This is higher to the corresponding figures of the first three phases.


This gives an Idea that what is the quality of candidates who are contesting the poles for this election.

I have few questions here.
If all are criminals from your place then whom you will choose? will you select a criminal...
Your obvious answer is No.....Then what will you do? Will you not vote?

If you will not vote then obviously one of criminal is going to select....

People think that we can give a negative vote so that these candidates will get rejected. But unfortunately our election commission does not even talk about negative vote and also in the electronic machines there are no option of negative vote (As I heard from people...Even I did not find...There is also a lack of demonstration of EVM).
If you are seriously interested in giving negative vote then first you need to approach Polling officer. They will hand over you a separate form for registering negative vote. And if you will do so then there is a chance that supporters who always stand nearby polling officers may identify this and you may land up in trouble.

So this complexity avoids people to go for vote.

Also even though if you have a voter ID card then still there are chances that you can not vote. Some of the points that I have noticed are as follows:

1. Every year it happens that some of the names of people always get missing from the voting list
2. If you are not available at your hometown where your name is listed then you can not vote because you can not vote from another polling booth.

If you want to vote at different place then first you need to give an application to some state election office and then still not sure that you will get a chance to vote.

So again people avoid to go in offices because in govt offices "Babbus" never listen to people and it takes whole day to submit the application.

I would like to share my personal experience here on "Farzee" (fake voters who vote in the name of other people) votes.

Everyone knows that 60 percent of Indian live in Villages and in villages in fact I have seen the "Farzee" voting.
Supporter comes with Guns and start the Farzee Voting.....No body can stop them to do so...Because there is no police...no army...

If I am wrong then you can read newspapers that there were repolling in several places of India...these were the places where "Farzee" voting came to notice by media...others we do not get..


In Brief:

Why young people are not going for vote?

1. Because people aren’t registered to vote since registration is not automatic.
2. Voting mechanism is not flexible.
EX:- Abhay singh'S Opinion.
3. They feel that their vote won’t make a difference because people are coming with criminal records.
4. They also feel that in front of Farzee votes how a vote can make a difference.

What can be done?
1. The system needs to be modified and needs to introduce more technology in the elections.
2. If the person is having voter ID then he/she should be able to cast vote in any part of country.
3. Parties must understand the young generation needs and must avoid criminal people to join and contest election.
4. Must stop "Farzee" Voting.

So If government and politicians make sure to take an action on all above four points then I can assure you guys that voting will increase and definitely people will have a feeling that ONE VOTE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

But if all four things could not be implemented then I also with the people who do not go for voting stand on the point that ONE VOTE CAN NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE in India.

So I request to the system and election commission that please make sure you take all necessary actions before saying ONE VOTE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE so that this can made it true and India can be 100 percent democratic country not secular.

"Lanchaan Ki politics"

Similar to previous elections....again politics started with pointing the fingers on others....
But this time finger is not only pointed to particular party but also to individual politicians....

Lets discuss one by one about there opinion and ours...

Advani says that Manmohan Singh is weak PM. In his words....
“Indeed the weakest PM India has ever had"

I do not understand that why Advani is telling him a weak PM...does he says because Manmohan is physically weak and Advani is physically stronger then him.

Then let me remind him that both are more then 70 years old and India who is now dominated by bloody young generation does not need an old PM who can not assure that he will be able to live his own life for next 5 years...

Manmohan Singh a great economist also rather then talking for poor families and helping out the country from economic recession, he likes to give comment on Advani something like:

"What else has he (Advani) contributed to the national welfare? When he was the Home Minister, attack on Parliament took place, troops were mobilized for 12 months (on the border) and withdrawn without any reason resulting in losses to the tune of crores of rupees, Red Fort was attacked, plane was hijacked and terrorists were rewarded,"

Advani is calling for TV debate with Manmohan Singh....
But frankly speaking these kinda debates are not at all going to help India....

Lalu Singh Yadav who has showed a tremendous profit during UPA in Indian Railway after "Chaara ghotaala" and got some good image from Indians before campaign...but later on he also started the same politics of "Laanchan" and even spoke against UPA party members like Sonia, Manmohan while continuing to say support to UPA...

But what the hell he is thinking with this politics.....
Will this politics give more votes to his party...
I dont think so...I feel he lost his image due to these comments...
If he could have spoken about his achievement and also could have shown commitment to poor people ...could have done better this time in Bihar...
Since Nitish is doing a great Job in Bihar...looks like Lalu will have to take either another "awataar" or will have to publicize his achievements...


Sonia takes on Lalu saying that "Bihar saw dark days under Lalu"....
She a great leader, "some magazine wrote that she is most powerful lady in the world", will talk like that...will discuss only past not about future...then who the hell is gonna to give her a vote...If somebody ask me...I will never...

Now in this time of elections everybody wants to become PM....Mayawati also feels that she is front runner for PM....No doubt she is from UP. Which is giving maximum number of lokshabha seat in assembly, but can not be ignored rest of the country's seat....
Also she is CM of biggest populated state who is struggling a lot for economic stability...
corruption is too high...number of people below poverty line are 1/3rd of country...I think she should concentrate first for her job and should start helping to the state...If she can prove that, then I can bet you no body can stop her becoming PM of India...But If she thinks that by saying "Dalit ki Beti". she can become PM then should forget about it and also please make a note that she should stop the caste politics and dividing country in caste and religion....

Mulayam Singh Yadav....What the hell he is doing.....
He is hitting an election poll official and dream of becoming PM...A guy who is gonna to represent the people...If start hitting those people only then what the shit he thinks that even he and his party can make a difference in country...
He is I think living in past where he still want to stop using English and computer....a dumb guy...who still does not understand that the country is surviving on both only...

Also The kind of politics his party is playing is ashamed ,....distributing nude pics of their party members...commenting on each other....going court and abusing each other...

Then If Mulayam is not able to manage his own small party then how the hell he will be able to manage biggest democracy of the world....

I am not going much on individual. Because I am not the one who is playing politics of "Lanchaan"...I want to make the point here is that these politicians should stop playing politics of past and should seriously start politics of development...

They should have a definite vision for next 5 years and should stick to them...
Now globally we have become an integral part of the world...where other country is always looking at us...

And these politicians are going to represent the country....If these guys will act like that then this Youth someday will seriously remove all these guys...

So please start working for Poor’s...start saying about development and work on It....
Also make a good image in people.....Otherwise your time has gone....
Somebody will take over on you....
