The Supreme Court has admitted a special leave petition (SLP) challenging the policy of campus recruitment of students for various posts from a few selected institutions by public sector undertakings, in particular the Kochi Refineries Limited (KRL).A Bench of Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan and Justice R.V. Raveendran admitted the SLP from the Federation of Central Government SC/ST Employees (Kerala). The SLP questioned such recruitment without adhering to the quotas reserved for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. It was directed against a Kerala High Court judgment dated July 20, 2005 upholding the recruitment. Considering the importance of the issues involved, the Bench said the hearing would be expedited.
The federation said campus recruitment, apart from legal infirmity, had far-reaching social consequences. It would deprive the rights of those studying in various institutions, colleges, universities recognised by the University Grants Commission and the All India Council for Technical Education to compete for the post as there was neither any newspaper advertisement nor any intimation to employment exchanges.
The petitioner contended that the respondent company had not followed the Government of India guidelines and its own recruitment rules.
Rights infringed

It contended that the fundamental rights guaranteed to the SCs and the STs in the matter of equality of opportunity under the Constitution in public employment under the State had been infringed or violated by the respondent. It sought quashing of the impugned judgment and to stay the appointment of management trainees.
The Economist (US) is a premium publication.Which publishes this! Mind you that US zionists are the best allies of Brahmincal rulers in India. The Hinduva is now a Global affair and Globalistion itself is nothing but Post modern manusmriti! See this misinformation campaign against dalits.
The 100,000 and more Indians still trapped in Iraq and Kuwait may find that, when they do get back home, they will be exchanging one battle zone for another. India is slipping towards a caste war. The opening shot was fired by the prime minister, Mr V.P. Singh, when he announced last month that 27% of the jobs in the central government and in public-sector companies would be reserved for members of middling Hindu castes (the official description is "backward castes", but many of those covered are not in desperate condition at all). Ever since then, street battles have begun.
The best example of misinformation campaign of US Galaxy Order is Islamophobia which justifies most the War agianst terrorism!
In India , the partition victim dalit Bengli refugges resettled countrywide and deprived of reservation, mother language , civil and human rights have been branded as Bangladeshi Nationals thanks to the global Information explosion. Armed with

"The successive post-1975 governments have changed the concept of nationalism from Bengali nationalism-characterised by ethno-linguistic identities and not by religious (Muslim) identity - to Bangladeshi nationalism-characterised by religious (Muslim) identity of the Bangladeshi majority- which make them distinct from the Bengali Hindus of the Indian state of West Bengal who never showed any interest in forming a separate state based on Bengali nationalism. Armed with the new Citizenship Act, the brahminical Indian Polity led by pranab Mukherjee has launched a deportation drive against this lot.
What happens in Bangladesh where the Brahmins of bengal want to deport all these Dalit Bengali Hindus!
And they launch a Hindu super power campaign!
The chagring of the Government of Khaleda Zia at the publication of a short novel Lajja by a medical doctor Taslima Nasreen in February 1993 depicting the plight of a Hindu family is understandable. The book was promptly proscribed and the passport of the author impounded, which made her an international celebrity overnight. (Borhan uddin Ahmed, Recovery of Freedom, Hakkani Pub, p-323)
The Bangladesh Government under a woman Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia, who has not changed the family law against woman, inclines on the side of the fundamentalists and has issued a warrant for your arrest for causing a disturbance of peace. She has not taken any steps to revise the Constitution devised by General Ershad, who made Islam the state religion of Bangladesh. And the Government has banned your book Lajja. Even Sheikh Hasina, daughter of the valiant Mujibur Rahman, is silent with her Awami League followers in cowardly retreat before fanatics. .…. We are the older colleagues of the women writers, Ismat Chughtai, Rashid Jahan, Kamla Das and Mahasweta Devi…. And we defend your right to say…. Uncle Mulk, Fellow of the Sahitya Akademi of India and Laureate of the International Peace Prize. (Frontline, 12 August 1994).
Dr. Humayun Azad, Professor of Dhaka University and prominent author-researcher, has illustrated the sorrowful stories of Hindus in his novel 'Pak Sar Zamin Shadbad', the first line of Pakistani national anthem, which we, too, had to chant in the school after the coup in 1958. It (Pak Sar Zamin Shadbad) was first published in the Eid supplement of The Ittefaq in 2003 that followed a review by Rajen Thakur in Janakantha and Sangbad, two leading Bengali dailies of Dhaka. Unidentified assailants critically injured Prof.Humayun Azad with bucher's knives in front of Bangla Academy on February 27,2004.
Dr Humayun Azad faced dastardly attack and he had to undergo prolong treatment in the country and abroad. After coming back, he resumed normal life. Prof.Azad went to Germany on a research job on romantic German writer Heinrich Heine where he was found dead at his apartment at Munich on August 12,2004.

Amoral Code
BY MJ AKBAR (Byline)
24 September 2007
WHEN a coalition begins to melt, its partners subtly, if not silently, begin to shift their public agenda from common concern to individual need. The debate over the bridge built by Lord Ram between the Tamil coast and Sri Lanka is hardly new. A year ago, the supreme leader of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, MK Karunanidhi, would not have fractured sensibilities nationwide with intemperate, unacceptable remarks about Lord Ram, revered and worshipped by Hindus as the paradigm of virtue. Today, the political calendar has a premature general election marked within the first half of 2008. His party’s fortunes are now more important to him than his coalition’s fate. After all, what use is any coalition to him if he cannot get the seats that can make him a power broker?

Under pressure, Karunanidhi is dipping into the source of Dravida nectar for sustenance. The origins are lost to public memory, so it may be useful to recall them.
The movement began in 1914 when Dr C Nadesan Mudaliar started the Dravida Association. But it got its first impetus when the son of a rich landlord, privileged enough to be educated in England, walked away from his background to fight for the lower castes against the domination of the Brahmins. The name of this remarkable man was EV Ramaswamy Naicker, popularly known as ‘EVR’ and then ‘Periyar’. His philosophy was practical: he likened caste to malaria and said that his search was not for medicine but for the mosquitoes that spread malaria. He declared himself an atheist and went to war against Brahmins, the chief perpetrators of caste iniquity. He launched an agitation against his personal friend, the Maharaja of Travancore for reform: an Untouchable could not walk on the streets of the princely state, let alone raise his eyes in front of someone from an upper caste. You can get a flavour of EVR’s views from this quotation: “(Aryans) concocted absurd stories in keeping with their barbarian status... The blabberings of the intoxicated Brahmins in those old days are still faithfully observed in this modern world as the religious rituals, morals, stories, festivals, fasts, vows and beliefs”. Inherent in the doctrine was the Aryan as an outsider, who had driven true Indians, Dravidians, south and then maintained his power through an iniquitous system. Brahmins were agents of that domination.
The Dravida movement would move away from the eccentricities of EVR into the sager leadership of CN Annadurai, but the basic philosophy did not alter. When the DMK was formed after the split in the Dravida Kazhagam on 17 September 1949, it did not name a chairman. That chair was kept vacant for the “soul of Periyar”.

SRIRANGAPATNA:Chikkahakanahalli village in Srirangapatna is yet to limp back to normalcy after the caste clashes as Dalits continue to live in fear.Dalit youth and men who had fled to neighbouring villages fearing for their lives have not returned. They are yet to receive medical help or compensation for property damaged by caste Hindus.However, the district administration has issued cheques for Rs 10,000 to seven seriously injured Dalit men and women. They are yet to come out of the shock and fear and are penniless to repair their damaged houses.
New delhi: There have been strong reactions to an NDTV report exposing caste discrimination at AIIMS and other top hospitals in the capital.The National Commission for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes says it will take action against doctors or anybody else found guilty of caste discrimination.On Sunday NDTV showed how at AIIMS at least eight doctors refused to go at rounds with a doctor because they accuse the doctor of caste discrimination.The report revealed that politics and caste have divided doctors and students not only at AIIMS but in several hospitals across the city.The situation is particularly bad at AIIMS, where some doctors have refused to go on rounds with their seniors. They say that they are being discriminated on the basis of caste.
For Dr Suman Bhasker, a cancer specialist at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, doing the rounds at the hospital has become a solitary routine. For the last three months, the eight resident doctors who are meant to accompany her on her rounds have refused to do so.They claim Dr Bhasker is not available, has physically threatened them and has discriminated against the upper caste doctors on the basis of caste.But she says this is a motivated campaign rooted in caste.

Phoolan's sister breaks into tears during cross examination

NEW DELHI: The cross-examination of Phoolan Devi's sister Munni Devi was on Monday adjourned by a court here amid dramatic scenes as she broke down on being shown some photos of the slain bandit-turned-politician.
Additional Sessions Judge V K Bansal adjourned the matter for Tuesday after Munni, Phoolan's younger sister, expressed her inability to continue with the deposition.
Munni, who has been declared a hostile witness by the prosecution for her volte-face from the statement given to the police after the murder, was cross-examined and given a few photos to identify the injury marks on the body of Phoolan.
As soon as the photos were shown to Munni, she broke down.
Finding her inconsolable, the judge asked her whether she would be able to depose any further, to which she replied in negative and the matter was posted for Tuesday.
Earlier, during her cross-examination, Munni, 32, told the court that she was like a daughter to her elder sister and the slain Samajwadi Party MP had even helped her husband get a job in Railways.
She, however, expressed ignorance on being asked if she knew that her sister was a dacoit and had killed 17 Thakurs in Behmai in February, 1981.
"I do not know whether she, at the time of her surrender in 1983, had said that she was raped and harassed by police and that is why she became a dacoit," Munni said adding she did not know how many criminal cases were pending against her sister in different states.
The prosecution is cross-examining Munni after she went back from her statement that she had seen the assailants who shot her sister outside her official residence here.

Vigilante justice is an "alarming state of affairs": SC

New Delhi: Describing recent instances of vigilante justice as an "alarming state of affairs", the Supreme Court has asked courts to expeditiously dispose off cases lest people lose their confidence in the judiciary.
A bench of Justices A K Mathur and Markandeya Katju said such incidents of mob violence often arise out of frustration over endless litigations in various courts.
"We saw in the media news of lynching of suspected thieves in Bihar`s Vaishali district, the gunning down of an under-trial prisoner outside Patna city civil court and other incidents where people have taken the law into their own hands. This is obviously because many people have started thinking that justice will not be done in the courts due to the delays in court proceedings," the apex court observed.
The judges made the observations while directing equal distribution of a property between two contending parties who were litigating on the issue for over 60 years.

Villagers fall victim to India's caste war

Brahmins and Dalits, at the top and the bottom of Hindu society, seek political alliance to fight 'Yadav Raj'
Randeep Ramesh in Kannauj
Tuesday June 14, 2005
The Guardian

Suresh Chandra Pandey's mutilated body was discovered more than a year ago, less than half a mile from his mud and stone house in the sleepy village of Nunnar, some 220 miles south-east of Delhi.
It was a violent execution-style killing; the 50-year-old farm labourer was hung up, shot in the chest and finally had his arms removed from the elbow joints.
Everyone knows who the murderers are, say his family, but the killers have not been brought to justice. The police, the local administration and the local MP will not lift a finger to help, they add.

Church Attempting to Incite Caste War in India
Posted September 22, 2004
11th November 1996
GC Asnani
http://www.christianaggression.org/item_display.php?type=ARTICLES&id=1095858880
1. In November 1978, a Paper titled "A document for Foreigners-Apartheid in India", "authored" by Shri V.T. Rajshekar Shetty was presented at the race and minorities conference held in New Zealand. This document read as follows:
"Without destroying Hindu religion, untouchability cannot go. But are they in the process to do this impossible job? No. Hence, in all humility and in utter helplessness they are forced to demand a separate homeland within India. And in this endeavour for a separate homeland, the untouchables of India wanted to approach the UNO and its Human Rights Commission......"
"Please note that the Indian untouchables are a dynamite. Their body is like steel and mind a volcano. They would burn the whole land Once ignited. Somebody has to lit the dynamite and it will explode, and when it explodes, the whole world would tremble".
2. Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) had its seventh assembly session at Bangalore (May 18-28, 1981). Document No. 10 captioned "Torture and Killings of Untouchables Inside India-Christian Responsibility" reads as follows :
"Caste War is spreading all over India and we are thinking of approaching the UNO and the Human Rights Commission to fight for our demands of separate homeland for the Dalitasthan" (p.1).
".....The untouchables inside India have hardly any freinds inside the country. The press is hostile, police are its main enemy, the government is not bothered. Every opportunity is barred. Therefore, we have no other go but to seek friends outside". (p. 4).
".....Therefore, the Christians owe a duty to save this wretched of the earth. We admit that nobody has done greater service to the untouchables of India as the Christians. That is why thousands of them have embraced this religion....".
"The CCA must address itself to the grave problem. It must also give the highest priority to the liberation of the untouchables by treating it as the world's greatest problem, needing the immediate attention of the Church".
3. At the Asian Conference on the "Role of Religion and National Harmony" organised by CCA at Colombo, Sri Lanka, from October 28 to Nov. 3 1981, the Paper "authored" by Shri V.T. Rajshekar and presented "on behalf of the untouchables" goes on to say :
"Muslims, Christians and Hindus constitute a perpetually warring Nation. Muslims (15 %) and Christians (3 %) are being persecuted by the Hindu majority. Apart from this, the untouchables (20 %) and Tribals (10 %) each constitute a separate nation. Sikhs are now rightly demanding a separate nation "Khalistan". As consciousness increases along with literacy and other factors, Muslims, Christians and each caste within Hinduism will clamour for separateness and some people expect India to be torn to pieces in course of time. The first and the foremost programme is to quit Hinduism. They will fight for a separate state. To get safety and security they have to seek a separate state "Dalitasthan"...."
"International Organisations, UNO and particularly Christians and Muslims have a duty to support the liberation struggle of the untouchables. Our struggle need to be linked up with the other struggling groups of Blacks, Brakus, Palestinians ..... On behalf of the untouchables of India we thank the CCA/URM led by George Ninan and ably assisted by Kurata".
4. In the weekly "Organiser" dated 20 October 1996, Shri Arun Shourie has written an illuminating article titled "With friends like these who needs enemies?". He has mentioned two anti-Hindu Seminars/Conferences apparently sponsored/supported by the Government of USA, the first on July 16, 1996 with the topic "Hindu Revivalism in India : Position, Prospects and Implications for the U.S."' and the second on November 5 and 7, 1996, the Annual Conference on South Asia at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA. At these Conferences, Hindu religion and ideology were presented as representing Hitler's fascism; Hindu conduct is represented by "Rape being the normal response of a Hindu male to a minority woman", etc.
5. How has the US Government got entangled into this type of propaganda?
As a part answer to this question, we attach xerox copy of the paper cutting from Los angeles India, Weekly dated Friday, May 10, 1991.
This gives some idea of what is brewing in USA Govt. circles. The following points are noteworthy :
i) In respect of India, there has been active sharing of views between U.S. Govt. circles and private companies engaged in manufacture of war weaponry.
These companies have their sales men and women prowling around in the whole world, promoting sales for their war weaponry. (It is alleged that some of these private companies were involved even in the assasination of the late President J.F. Kennedy when he was about to declare closure of the Vietnam war).
These companies are receiving subsidies, contracts and research projects from the US government. It is the question of their own bread and butter and also there is the question of employment to sustain economy of the United States.
ii) US is talking of restless natives and Chaos in India which would justify US intervention. Has this anything to do with the church organisation, caste war and foreign intervention talked about by the Church, as given in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 above?
6. Who is this Shri Rajshekar Shetty who has been presented as representative of 80 % population of India and who is requesting the Christian Church to help him in removing Hinduism from India or at least having one more partition of India? In his pamphlet titled "Class-Caste Struggle, Emerging Third Force", "authored" by Shri V.T. Rajshekar in 1980 and published by Dalit Action Committee as Publication No. 8, Shri Rajshekar also talks of Shri Kanshiram organising Chamar belt in Hindi heartland. He also expressed the hope that the CPI, CPM and Naxalite units would unite with them under the ideology of class-caste struggle and form a Third Force. He breathes out violence and terrorism, talking of destruction of Hindu religion and India being torn to pieces, etc.; with whose support?
The same Shri V.T. Rajshekar "authored" on behalf of Dalit Sahitya Academy, Bangalore, Booklet No. 4, titled "Who is Ruling India?". It was published in 1982. Here he painted Hindu religion as the father of fascism and spoke nearly the same language as is now heard in US sponsored/supported discussions and seminars on Hinduism in USA reported in para 4 above. What is the link?
Roman Catholic Church has a weekly journal "The Examiner", which was started during the days of British East India Company in 1850. It is now running Volume No. 147 in the year 1996. In a recent issue of this journal dated October 12, 1996 it has presented Shri V.T. Rajshekar as the foremost Dalit voice.
In what way are Shri V.T. Rajshekar, Shri Kanshiram and the "religious" organisation known as Roman Catholic Church of India connected? How has the link been established with the govenment of USA?
To get some deeper understanding of these apparently unrelated events, it is desirable that Indian leaders and thinkers read the book "Crux Ansata" by the well-known historian H.G. Wells who has connected the activities of the Roman Catholic Church with many political tragic events of the world, including the Second World War.
He has traced the active role of Church in precipitating many cruel and gruesome events of history of Europe and the western world. Is this same Church going to precipitate some tragedies in the eastern world also, just to establish its own brand of Christianity in the East? Is U.S. Govt getting influenced and entangled in its net? Trend of this type in USA is suggested by books like the following :
i) "The Vatican in World Politics" By Avro Manhattan, Chick Publications, P.O. Box 662, Chino, CA 91710, USA.
ii) "Catholic Terror in Ireland" By Avro Manhattan, Chick Publications, P.O. Box 662, Chino, CA 91710, USA.
iii) "The Vatican and the USA" By Avro Manhattan, Chick Publications, P.O. Box 662, Chino, CA 91710, USA.
iv) "The Secret History of the Jesuits" By Edmond Paris, Chick Publications, P.O. Box 662, Chino, CA 91710, USA.
v) "History's Greatest Liars" By Joseph McCabe, American Atheist Press, P.O. Box 2117, Austin, TX 78768 - 2117 (USA)
vi) "Vietnam : Why did we go?" By Avro Manhattan, Chick Publications, P.O. Box 662, Chino, AC 91710, USA.
vii) "Terror over Yugoslavia" By Avro Manhattan, Chick Publications, P.O. Box 622, Chino, CA 91710, USA.
We must not rush to form and express hasty opinion about the U.S. The latter is a democratic country. Public opinion plays an important role in the political decisions of US Govt. We must endeavour to project our opinion and image properly in USA, at Govt. level and non-Govt. level. We have more in common with U.S. aims and objectives than with many other countries of the world. We must tread our path carefully. Amongst the Christian laity also, there are persons who do not like the Church to dabble in politics and to create tensions in the Indian society; they want the Church to restrict itself to spirituality. But ......
7. Hinduism has not been proselytizing religion like Christainity and Islam. Policy of "conversions" followed by poselytizing religions in nothing short of declaring war against other religions. It builds inter-religious tensions leading to inter-religious wars.
Prof. S. Radhakrishnan, Late President Of India, in his book "The Hindu Way of Life" (Unwin Books, 1960, 92 pages) wrote as follows :
i) The intolerance of narrow monotheism is written in letters of blood across the history of man from the time when first the tribes of Israel burst into the land Canaan. The worshippers of the one Jealous God are egged on to aggressive wars against people of alien cults. They invoke Divine Sanction for the cruelties inflicted on the conquered. The spirit of old Israel is inherited by Christianity and Islam (page 40).
ii) "Wars of Religion which are the outcome of fanaticism that prompts and justifies the extermination of aliens of different creeds are practically unknown in Hindu India".
8. Summary :
i) There is ample evidence that the Church in India is encouraging violence and chaos in India.
ii) Hindus in India are generally unaware of the history of violence and terrorism in which the Church has participated outside India.
iii) Through its International link-ups, the Church is creating anti-India prejudices in U.S.A., even to this day. One hundred years ago, Swami Vivekananda had very bitter experience with the Christian Church in USA when he preache Hinduism there. The situation is not very different today.
iv) The Church has gained sufficient footing in India today so that its spokesmen and spokeswomen freely talk of destroying Hindu religion in India and also India being torn to pieces.

Trumped By A Religious Myth
By Praful Bidwai
22 September, 2007
The News International
India's United Progressive Alliance came to power in 2004 on a secular platform. But it has now beaten an ignominious retreat on the Ram Setu (Adam's Bridge) issue pertaining to the proposed Sethusamudram ship-canal project in the Palk Straits by caving in to the Sangh Parivar.
Having told the Supreme Court through an affidavit filed by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) that there is no clinching evidence that the shoal/sandbar structure in the Gulf of Mannar was built by Lord Rama's followers, it executed a U-turn as soon as it sensed that the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bharatiya Janata Party might exploit it by misconstruing it as "anti-Hindu. "
The Sangh Parivar contends that the affidavit denies Ram's existence and constitutes "blasphemy" and an "insult to the Hindus." As L K Advani claimed, "the government has sought to negate all that the Hindus consider sacred … and wounded the very idea of India."
Following media spin, some secular liberals too wrongly described the affidavit as overreaching or tactless because it callously "denies Ram's existence, goes beyond saying that the Setu is a natural formation, and comments on the historicity of sacred texts like the Ramayana and Tulasidas's Ramacharitamanas.
However, a close look shows that the affidavit merely rejects the view that such texts are an incontrovertible historical record whi
