Ban Endosulfan or It Will Kill Us All Sooner or Later!

Even though I support UDF & UPA , I have uncompromisingly sharp dispute with them on their attitude towards Endosulfan & GM crops. It's as if they are asking for more deaths or perhaps the death of all (!) to ban Endosulfan! The side effects of Endosulfan are pretty clear. Still waiting for what?  Do the human lives shattered through that insecticide have no value at all? Still need more study to ban it from this democratic country? They have taken a more or less similar attitude towards Genetically Modified (GM) crops as well! 

Ban Endosulfan & GM Crops from India. Every human life is precious. 

Jan Lokpal Bill, Anna Hazare & New Hope

I support Jan Lokpal Bill, Anna Hazare and his noble cause.

Actually it is a new hope. A new hope against corruption and being exploited. 

No one in India supports corruption except those who delayed the Bill for the past decades! As a matter of fact no party which ruled the country made an effort to legalize Lokpal Bill. We all know the reason! 

Someone recently said the bill is against democracy! So what about corruption and being exploited?!!

Anna Hazare is the real Hero. A hero who showed great courage and stood firm on what he believes in. (Some people even tried to play politics in this noble cause too! But Anna Hazare utilized the situation to the world that he is the real hero!)

Millions of people who supported your cause via different ways showed that India being awaken. Indians felt a new feeling of being rejuvenated and we will keep the spark ignited. Hats off. Once again, you are the real hero, real patriot, real India.

Indian Cricket Team Fulfilled An Indian Dream

This time Indian Cricket Team fulfilled a long Indian dream - Cricket World Cup.

Religion, Politics & Cricket - that's the essence of India! (Entirely my opinion only, no offense!)

More than 121 Billion wishes come to true. Deserves more than smiles and claps. 11 men in blue let the whole nation jump out of joy & placed it in the top of the world! 

Glad that Sachin's dream come to true. Dhoni really deserves a special clap. (Now I am Dhoni fan too!)

Note: I know the post is too late!

Sachin - Beauty Of The Art Cricket !

I'm not a die hard fan of Cricket. But Sachin is the man who made me love the game cricket a little bit. Every one can enjoy the beauty of an Art. But Sachin is the man who made me love Cricket.

And Sachin is the beauty and jewel of the art Cricket.

A big congratulations to sachin for crossing 17,000 and also for the marvelous 20 years. Sachin, we - Indians - expect more from you. And you are the one who at most times rose to expectations and beyond. You can achieve more. We - Indians - are proud of you.

Maa Tujhe Salaam, I feel Proud to be an Indian.

Indians,

Yesterday, 15th August 2009 we celebrated the 63rd Indian Independence day (and ofcourse 62nd 'year' of Indian Independence). I feel proud to be an Indian who is living in one of the best sovereign, democratic, republic in the world. I here by wishing you - all the Indians over the world - a happy independence day. (Yes, belated wishes!).

Unity in diversity is our strength. Let us be stand united irrespective of colour, cast, creed, region & religion. Let us be stand united against the external as well as internal forces trying to disturb our unity in diversity. Let us be stand united against the forces trying to 'divide and rule' us on the basis of colour, cast, creed, region & religion.

United we stand, divided we fall , history bears testimony for this! Let us be stand united against all odds. It's our land. No one can take anyone out of their home land on the basis of anything by force.

Once again wishing all the Indians a belated Happy Independence Day.

Maa Tujhe Salaam. . .


Yours,

Shinu S.

Election 2009 - Peoples Verdict In India

World,

First of all Hearty Congratulations to all the winners. . .

Once again majority of the people of India proved that they are not biased. They once again uphold the value of unity and secularism. They proved to the whole world that India is a Secular Nation. We Indians proved beyond doubt that NO ONE can divide us based on religion at all time. If they ever try to inject into us communal venom from their blood, definitely we will make them sit like this!

We will definitely wipe out communalism from India in a short run. We Indians will stand united for it. No matter how they - some national leaders and their parties - try to divide us based on religion! We love unity and integrity.

Here in India one man promised us a secular nation and a nation of unity. We love unity and secularism and made him pose like this!

Now it is clear that. . .
Indian Government is the. . .
Government OF THE PEOPLE. . .
Government FOR THE PEOPLE. . .
and definitely. . .
Government BY THE PEOPLE. . .

Jai Ho. . .

Yours

RAGGING. Are we in favour of it ?

Latest Known Victim : P.S.Akhil Dev, 19 yr old, first year BBM student of PSG Arts and Science
College, Coimbatore.
Date : March 7, 2009.
Event & Venue : Akhil was brutally ragged by 5 of his seniors in his private hostel room.
Now : The victim suffering from serious mental trauma, serious injuries to eyes (9 holes in his retina) and ears.
Usual after effects : Coverage news for media for two or three days

THERE AFTER ? : NOTHING... NOTHING... NOTHING... !

WAIT. . . WE WILL GET ANOTHER VICTIM IN A FEW DAYS ! ! !

These things forced me think that we are in favour of ragging.
Just think for a while...
How many ragging cases before this incident ?
How many flash news about ragging before ?
How many anguished parents before ?
(There were cases that seniors even raped juniors in the name of ragging!)

But NO USE. We can't curb this menace yet. Why ?

Quoting the words of victim's father, Sunil Paremeswaran "Such a thing would never happen to anyone else in future".

One question : Is this is the first time he came to hear about the very bad side of ragging ?

How many times it thundered before ?

Remember, there are millions of parents awaiting to utter these same sentense in vain!

The very funny part is that, words of victim's father itself, "This was not the first time
the boy was beaten." (?!!)

Where were his parents at that time ?

50% of the responsibility of all ragging cases is with the victim itself.

Why do they allow someone to humiliate them ?
Why do they allow someone to harass them ?
Why do they allow someone to insult them ?

What makes your seniors better than you ?
Don't you have a character ? Don't you have a personality ?
Are you a slave of you seniors ?


Let us wait and see...

In the hope that we will get more victims and more brutal stories in future!
Because we are not ready to respond. We are adjusting. Let it be...


Yours
Shinu S.


Note : Now I'm doing my PG and till date I didn't allow myself to fall as a prey to seniors for ragging. But they have approached me !

A request to all Politicians...

Dear Politicians & National Leaders,

Please...

Never try to divide My country - India on the basis of religion.

Please don't divide My India on the basis of caste or creed.

India had witnessed the pathetic effect of communalism before many times.

Please don't ignite it again.

We need a strong India, a strong generation but communalism is not the answer!

We achieved great things when we stand united. We will achieve it again.

But...

Yours

Shinu S.

A R Rahman & Oscar

World,

As usual A R Rahman did it again... But now it's Oscar... And it's two...
Hearty congratulations to A R Rahman...
He rose to our expectations every time... Do critics of A R Rahman have something to say now?

Does India really need a change ?

Note : Please don't consider this post as a mere description or review of a movie. Because this post at one point mentioned about a recently released bollywood movie. I did so, because I found some very positive elements in that movie which is relevant to my current post. I’m not a movie critic! I’m just writing about an urgent change need to be taken by all Indians for our country’s progress.

Indians,

Do we really need a change ? Do we really lacks something which will help us in the development of our country in every walk of life ?

In my opinion, it is a big YES ! We really lacks unity among people ! Now a days people are divided and trying to divide - not on the basis of territory – but on the basis of their own faith;their religion!! A very pathetic cum shameful condition. Above 50% of problems we are facing is created by it!!

Remember it is in a country which once boasted of it’s ‘Unity in Diversity’.
Remember it is from one of the largest secular countries in the world.
Remember it is now in a country which has achieved great things (socially, scientifically, economically) when people were stand united and worked together.
Remember nothing great can be achieved if we stand divided (on any grounds). If we do it, then we will definitely fall and fail!

No religion in the whole world teaches it ‘s followers to hate the other followers. If it were, then it won’t be a religion and it can’t be. There is no proof from the history that any acharyas/gurus/prophets of any religion said so ! Then why do the followers of it do the other way round ?

We need to work united, live united, stand united. After all we are living in the same country and were created by the same creator ! Then why do we and for what purpose ?

A recently released bollywood movie – Delhi 6 – depicts very strategically and in a very positive way, how these real problems were created. It shows us very tactically how can we solve these problems. It shows us how beautiful the life will be with religious harmony and how worst it could be in the middle of religious hatred ! It urges us to change our focus and kill ‘the kaala bandhar’ in our own minds to make life on earth so beautiful.
The director assures us – Indians – via the hero of the movie that, ’India works ; the people make it works’. Definitely, on the basement of unity and religious harmony ‘INDIA WILL WORK ; WE WILL MAKE IT WORK’.

If we are ready to do it, then we can wipe off all kinds of anti social elements from our mother India. If we do so, we can alleviate the social insecurities, we can alleviate poverty, we can alleviate the violence and so on.

All we need to do is change our negative mind settings and change the mind sets of coming generations and present generation in a very positive way.
Teach them love, teach them religious harmony, teach them life.
Let they live in a beautiful and wonderful world in general and a wonderful India in particular.

Remember Indian history taught us
‘UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL’!!!
American president is not going to change our lives and solve our problems ! They have their own problems. Let us ourselves change our life here.

Crush Terror Mercilessly

"Crush Terror Mercilessly"

This is not my words, this is not the words of American President, this is not the words of Pakistan President, this is not the words of Pope. . .

If it were then you would have definitely seen it on Highlights on News papers and Channels!!!

These are the words of Saudi Arabia's Grand Mufti on Saturday 31 January, 2004!!! These words didn't get popular because . . . (Its upto you to think why is it so??)

"You must know Islam's firm stance against all these terrible crimes which have been attributed to it. The world must know that Islam is the religion of peace and mercy and goodness; it is the religion of justice and guidance. It is a religion that prohibits all forms of injustice and the shedding of blood without genuine reason," he explained

Jihaad does not mean shedding the blood of Muslims or killing peaceful people or destroying their properties, Jihaad was made lawful not to shed blood or to take revenge but as a kind of worship of God and one of the religious duties for defending the Islamic nation.

But as for what some people do regarding activities of suicide, tying explosives to themselves and then approaching non-muslims and detonating them amongst them, then this is a case of suicide and Allah's refuge is sought. So whoever commits suicide then he will be considered eternally to Hell-Fire, remaining there forever, as occurs in the hadeeth of the Prophet, (PBUH) , saying:

whoever kills himself with an iron weapon, then the iron weapon will remain in his hand, and he will continuously stab himself in his belly with it in the Fire of Hell eternally, forever and ever!!!

Because this person has killed himself and has not benefited Islam. So if he kills himself along with ten, or a hundred, or two hundred other people, then Islam will not benefit by that, since the people will not accept Islam. Rather it will probably just make the enemy more determined, and this action will provoke malice and bitterness in his heart to such an extent that he may seek to wreak havoc upon the Muslims.

Terrorists are not Muslims

The events happened a few days ago again made us to think about terrorists and their acts.

The first time when we heard about the unholy name terrorist we think about Muslims and the Holy Way of life- Islam!!! Yes, we are conditioned to think like that manner!!! (For more views of mine see the 'Abou me' in Orkut post. There I gave simple reasons why we are conditioned to that manner and how!)

This is mainly because of the ignorance of that religion.

Remember this fact. . .

ISLAM STRICTLY PROHIBITS THE KILLING OF INNOCENT PEOPLE !!!

(But whom want to know everyone wants to criticise!!!)

Note: The following sentenses are mixed up with the quotes of various Islam scholars and most of the information are collected from online to publish in this blog

Remember a few things about Islam- which you do not know or forced to know not!!!

1) Islam prohibits terrorism. Islam prohibits a Muslim from attacking innocent civilians

2) Islam does not support terrorism under any circumstances. Terrorism goes against every principle in Islam. If a Muslim engages in terrorism, he is not following Islam. He may be wrongly using the name of Islam for political or financial gain

3) Muslims throughout their history never allowed the killing of civilians, even in the midst of wars such as the Crusades. There is no respected Islamic scholar even in Saudi Arabia or anywhere else in the Muslim world who would support such a fatwa

4) The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, 'Do not kill women or children or non-combatants and do not kill old people or religious people...

5) Suicide is haram in Islam. It's prohibited, like a mortal sin. And murder is haram. And to kill civilians is murder

6) The Prophet also said that there are people who kill in the name of Islam and go to hell. And when he was asked why, he said, Because they weren't fighting truly for the sake of God (READ TWICE!!!)

7) Muslims Against Terrorism requests media not use phrases such as "Islamic Fundamentalists" or "Muslim Terrorists" regarding terrorist attacks "Because such things do not exist. Islam is the religion of peace, love and mutual respect. Islam is the religion of moderation. Islam is the religion of human value and dignity." They ask that religious affiliation not be mentioned in terrorist attacks

8) Terrorists associated with the September 11th disaster could be called "al Qaeda Terrorists" since their involvement has been proven according to US, British, and Pakistani officials. When the Ku Klux Klan claimed credit for terrorist attacks in the 1960's, they were not identified by religion as "Christian Fundamentalists" or "Christian Terrorists." Although they identified themselves as a Christian movement, media never labeled them as Christians because their terrorism was regarded as a basic violation of Christian principles. We owe the same respect to the Muslim religion

9) Jihad "is an Arabic word the root of which is Jahada, which means to strive for a better way of life." "Jihad should not be confused with Holy War. The latter does not exist in Islam nor will Islam allow its followers to be involved in a Holy War." "Not only in peace but also in war Islam prohibits terrorism, kidnapping, and hijacking, when carried against civilians. Whoever commits such violations is considered a murderer in Islam, and is to be punished by the Islamic state."

10) In Islamic teachings, a Muslim is not allowed to force others to convert. "Let there be no compulsion in religion...."

11) Jihad is not a war to force the faith on others, as many people think of it. It should never be interpreted as a way of compulsion of the belief on others, since there is an explicit verse in the Qur'an that says: 'There is no compulsion in religion''

Instead, a Muslim must be respectful of other religions. By extension, an Islamic government is not allowed to compel anyone to be a Muslim.

12) ...Whosoever killeth a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind, and whoso saveth the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind. Our messengers came unto them of old with clear proofs, but afterwards lo! many of them became prodigals in the earth."(QURAN 5:32)

13) A good action and a bad action are not the same. Repel the bad with something better and, if there is enmity between you and someone else, he will be like a bosom friend. ( al-Fussilat: 34)

"Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you. Remember that you will indeed meet your Lord, and that He will indeed reckon your deeds."- Prophet Mohammed(PBUH)

So this is Islam's stand on Terrorism. . .

Do you now think Islam is forcing all these terrorists attacks ???

To Muslims,

"Who has the greatest duty to stop violence committed by Muslims against innocent non-Muslims in the name of Islam? The answer, obviously, is Muslims."

Bombay Terror Attack 2008

First I wish to publish this blog on the very day of the terrorist attack.

But if I did, then it would be full out of emotions!!! Speaking out of emotions sometimes loses our logic as well as reasoning power, I think. So. . .

We need to speak from our Brain not from our Heart in such a situation.

The terrorists attacked My Nation again. . . They insulted the pride of Indians again. . .

They killed Innocent civilians again. . . They questioned the security of My Land again. . .

They take the lives of our brave soldiers again. . . They made many people helpless again. . .

They made many orphans again. . . They shed tears from mothers of My Country again. . .

They played with the lives of Indians again. . . They made us puppets in their hands for more than 50 long hours. . . They struck the very heart of India again. . .

All for a reason many do not know for certain. . .

Whom do we common people need to blame for???

The Prime Minister???

The Home Minister???

The Defense Minister???

The Chief Minister???

The External affairs Minister???

The Intelligence???

Or

The Government???

No, I wont blame you any one of u!!!

Because I know for certain that it wont change the situation!!! It wont defend the future attacks!!! (I genuinely pray not to be another one. Because If there is another, the victims may be me, may be my mother, may be my brother, may be my friends, may be my relatives, may be My brothers and sisters in INDIA itself!!!)

If it were, then there wouldn't be a November 26!!!
