Indian HOLOCAUST My Father`s Life and Time - One Hundred NINETY Four

Little Indians.
--------------
Millions of little Indians, Hindus Muslims and others
for them no law, no land, no fathers mothers brothers.
They slave in little tea shops, they beg along the road,
they sleep upon their little feet, they have no bed, no board.
Government makes new budgets of which they are no part.
Governments feed on government grants, they eat their little heart.
The rich perform ablutions to please the gods above;
the gods return their favours and increase their treasure trove.
Little Indians find employment in hell holes we call factories;
their lungs fill up with poison gas, government collects the taxes.
Some little Indians go to public school in bus or car or jeep;
a million others look for food in wayside garbage heap.
Their schools are in Government file, their meals are part of Plan,
but when nation needs an atom bomb, they eat whatever they can.
Little Indians, they are taught to sing 'mera bharat mahan';
Little Indians wipe their hunted eyes - they wonder what is on.

Protect me? They can’t even protect my art: M F Husain
MUMBAI/DELHI: The government might be finally moving to make things easier for India's renowned painter M F Husain to return to his homeland
M F Husain
after four years of exile, but the 94-year-old artist is hardly impressed. Nor is he taking seriously the home ministry's efforts to club three pending cases against him so as to ensure their speedy disposal.
``What are they talking about?'' asked Husain in a telephonic conversation with TOI from Dubai. ``The India Art Summit held in August this year did not feature a single work by me. The reason given was that they could not afford to take the `risk'. How will they protect me if they cannot protect my work? How can I trust them?'' (Read full interview in TOI-Crest this Saturday.)
The artist feels that it's not just a question of legal cases against him. That did not force him to leave India. What caused his exile were the threats of physical harm to him by saffron groups. He wondered what would happen to him if he actually returned. ``They can, of course, promise me a bullet-proof car and the works. But, then, did Indira Gandhi or Rajiv Gandhi have any less security?''
On its part, the home ministry plans to approach the Supreme Court and request it club the three cases pending in Delhi, Gujarat and Maharashtra ^ and move for their early disposal. Said Husain's lawyer Akhil Sibal: ``Any positive step by the government is welcome. But we would also like to see a clear message that the government would do everything within the law to prevent his harassment.''
Husain said his case was not unique: ``From Galileo to Pablo Neruda, creativity has been exiled many times. I am not the first one.'' Still, the artist said he was deeply hurt by the way ``a few'' have treated him. ``It's a tremendous hurt. I'm Indian. Why should I beg these people to call me back to my country?''

I wanted to visit Dandkaranya once again. Our People have informed me that sometime in November or December,I would have to visit Malkangiri as they planned Matua Sammelan once again.I had visited malkangiri and Omorkot only in last march. They did not change but I may not go as the Bengali Brahaminical hegemony is Indulged once again to play with the Destiny of our People to readjust their political demography beyond Bengal. the marxist did it in Seventies ending in Marichjhanpi Genocide and mamata replicates her Rivals just after gaining recognition as regional parties in Arunachal and Tripura. her peopel in Uttarakhand are trying our people over there wuith the baits of different RLY committee memebership. Now she sends SUNANDO Sanyal to Malkangiri. I may not share the same dias being aware of the IMMINENT Disartous consequences. I alerted our people over their and have informed the CAUSE of my Refusal. But mamata is Powerful enough to get her men over there.
Sridam Biswas, the leader of REFUGEE Coordiantion Committe asked me on phone day befor yeasterday whether I would be able to attend the CONVENTION. I said, NO. I got Phone calls from Malkangiri also.
Sabita has ENTRAINED in DOON Express last Night at 12 PM sharp and expected to reach Howrah tomorrow Morning. But our people fro CHILKA Lake, in KHURDA District informed last day that they would land in my home this morning to discuss their problmes , I agreed.As we face the problem all over Uttar Pradesh, our people are scattered in bunches and have been resettled in ONE, Two, Three, Four, Five villages in Meerut, Bijnore, Bareilly, Rampur,badayoon, kanpur, Lakhim Pur Kheri and Baharaich Districts where they face INFINITE Problems in their day to day life. IN such a MINORITY, they may not defend theselves , either we may be able to protect them from outside as being afraid of Communal flare Up going up against them.We have to live and STRUGLE unted as ROCK solid with Local Communities, it had always been my Survival KIT which I convey our people everywhere. I had been in Bijnore last time and discussed the strategy with our people and convinced them.
In Orissa, the Problem is very ACUTE as they have been targeted under Nationwide Deportation drive launched jointly by LK Adwani, PRANAB Mukherjee and Buddhadeb Bhattachary aligning with NAVEEN Patnaik. A few families were already deported from KENDRAPARA already until a UTKAL Bangiya Suraksha Committe was constituted and ORIA local Communities, Political parties and media came in forward to defend our people.
Mahajati Nagar Block in Kendrapara sandwitched between PARADEEP Port and Bhitar KANIKA sanctury falls under Coast Line Security Act as well as Forest act. Citizenship amendment Act declaring the NOAKHALI Victims resettled there since 1952 executes the much Needed EVICTION to clear the GROUND for a gretaer SEZ passed by Patnaik. Abriginal Tribal and Bengali as well as tamil refugee land in almost every Orissa district is TRGETED by MNCs and India Incs including PASCO and Tatas. So Reliance gets it in CHHATTISHGARH and Tata has rooted in JHARKHAND.
The LPG Raj is clear with the fact that EX Chief Minister of JHARKHAND, madhu KDA has DIVERTED no less than FOUR Thousand Crore RS in Personal Pockets and CBI raided Sevnety Places all over the country in search of the Jharkhand State Money DIVESTED not to mension the SWISS Bank acount. if a low Profile Chief Minister may dare to DIGEST such a BIG amount, it would be rather very interesting to know HOW Much GROWTH the POLITICIANS gained inMajor Deals, SEZ Drive, INFRASTRUCTURE Projects and MOWs Signed. All the FLAGSHIP Progrramme MONEY is allocated VIA NGOS run by the RULING Class.
Times Now says that this was revealed after the "detailed questioning" of Koda by the I-T sleuths on alleged hawala transactions and investments made by him and his associates.
The department carried out countrywide searches on at least 70 premises associated with Koda yesterday and seized voluminous documents, computer peripherals and other records pertaining to bank details and investments.
The department issued notices to Koda and others for "detailed questioning" after the completion of scrutiny of the seized material, official sources said.
Some questioning at the time of searches was done by tax officials but they were largely cursory.
The notices were said have been sent under section 131 of the Income Tax Act 1961 which authorises the department to issue summons or to force attendance of any person for being examined on oath or to compel production of books of account and other documents.
The department yesterday had claimed that its had found evidence of Rs 4000 crore in hawala transaction and investments after searches were conducted at Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Lucknow, Nasik, Ranchi, Chaibasa and Jamshedpur.
IT authorities added the department will also initiate the unlocking of seized lockers at various places of the former Chief Minister and his associates.
"Some documents showed about Rs 100 crore in foreign exchange being sent by hawala transactions to Dubai, Thailand and Malayasia," tax officials said after the searches on Saturday.
The searches were held after the Enforcement Directorate registered a case against Koda and his associates Sanjay Choudhary and Vinod Kumar Sinha on October 9 on charges of making huge illegal investments abroad.
The ED had filed an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR), which is equivalent to an FIR, before the Prevention of Money Laundering Act court in Ranchi against Koda and eight others.
Koda was chief minister between September 2006 and August 2008. Currently an Independent member of the Lok Sabha, Koda had held the mines portfolio twice in two governments, led by Arjun Munda between 2003 and 2006.
Thus, our people are quite UNSAFE and bengali ELITE Brahmin RULING Class who did everything to destroy right from the beginning would not bail them out, we may BANK on Local support only.
Nine Hundred Fifty One families from Partition Victims have been DUMPED in CHILKA lake. They were alotted land TWO Acres per family in the lake itself isolating the so called land in a dams for CULTIVATION. The land is almost INUNDATED and the SLIT salt has eaten the fertility. The Scheduled caste People have to live on with FISHING. since TATA has got the Lake, the people must be EVUICTED. For the time being they have been asked to get LICENSE and pay for FISHING, hence the LIVELIHOOD has already ENDANGERED.
Moreover, the NAMOSHUDRA and Paundra families settled in SIX Villages in CHILKA BHUSHAND Pur area are DePRIVED of RESERVATION as the CASTE Hindus do PRACTICE UNTOUCHABILITY against them. They are not allowed to fetch water in Public resources. They are NOT allowed the ENTER the Temples! They are SUBJECTED to INFINITE persecution!
you amy jsut call Nityanand SARDAR on his Cell Phone Number 09937350382 for further details.
Two Youngmen representing our people DUMPED in Chilka lake have been at my Home ad we discussed the Problems for Hours. Meanwhile, KL BISWAS from PUNE, Abhiram Mallick from Ranchi, Shyamal Paramanik from Banaras and DILIP mandal from JNU, New delhi joined us. SUSHANTO Kumar mandal and Nakul Chandra Mandal did everything to make us know about their PLIGHT and they just did not Cry. My heart Was weeping. As tehy refered my father PULIN Babu who had VISITED them and raised their issues at different level. I had been Kndrapara, cuttuck and Malkangiri, Umorkot refugee areas.
Rabi Sarkar, belonging to chilka lakeand staying in Cuttack happens to be my family friend. But I could not manage the TIME to visit the place just One Hour away from Bhuvneshwar.
Our people have SIX villages there.
BALIPATPUR Colony
JATINUAGA Colony
Gobardhanpur
Puntolby clony
Sunderpur colony
Katlagupta Colony
As Fishing as LIvelihood is not enough and cste Hindus having Hatred and apathy against them, practicing UNTOUCHABILITY, it is near IMPOSSIBLE to sustain Themselves. They have to seek JOB elsewhere where they may not be singled out as Untouchables. They have to travel palces all over the country!
Since Paundras, Malo,Namoshudra and other bengali Scheduled caste communities enjoyed the FREEDOM form Brahaminical Socity for Decades as the Local Communities were Unaware of their SC Identity, they NEVER Demanded RESERVATION and always opposed the AMBEDKARITES, even my Father. They would not spare anyone who would EXPOSE their dalit IDENTITY Fearing UNTOUCHANBILITY and DISCRIMINATION as well as Social Separation! I faced their Wrath in 1978 while I voiced their Grievances in stories based on their SC status. they were ready to kill me. I did not withdraw and faced SOCIAL ANGER for years.
Now in a Global village they Demadn RESERVATION for Extra Chances as the SC local Communities treat them as cate Hindu and caste Hindus PRACTICE Untouchability as they EXPOSED their SC status demanding Reservation! Moreoever, they sufefr INFIGHT amongst theselves . The Namoshudras and Paudras popularly known as Chandala And POD fight for Reseravtion SEPARATELY poised agints each other. While my father PULIN Babu wante a SINGLE SOCIETY of Refugees irrespective of religion, caste and language with RESERVATION and quota. They Never AGREED.
Culturally RAGGED for thousnads years, ENSLAVED for Thousands years and DEPRIVED of Knowledge they have lost ETHNIC Nationality Idenity and even Motehr Tongue. They Know Nothing about their Glorious Past and anything about the ANCIENT Bengal Ruled by Indigenous and Aboriginal communities, their NEGROID fore fathers. Even they happen to be unaware OF MAHASTHAGARH, the Paundra capital in east Bengal not to mention aboriginal and indigenous rulers all along United Bengal, Orissa, Andhra, maharashtra, Chhattishgarh, MP, Bihar and Jharkhand beside the Himalayas and the NORTH east. They are unaware of the Power Politics and remain TAMED Votebanks without Representation. Thy KNOW nothing about the FREE Market Democarcy and LPG Raj. They are UNAWAR of the IMMINENT danger to their VERY Existence.
How may I help these People? But it is my Immediate Liability!
My dear friends!
Most of us do believe we happen to be the best of the Democratic and secular lot with Academic background very sound as we may be technically perfect as living in SENSEX Shining Nuclear India depriving eighty Percent Indigenous Aboriginal people.
With Poona pact signed, Gandhi ENSURED Brhamin Bania raj which shped in Corporate MNC raj in US promoted FREE market Democracy turning India into a peripherry of US war Economy. DR BR Ambedkar being singled out alone was able to enter the Constitutional Assembly thanks to the East bengal refugees Scheduled castes who had the legacy of Peasant Uprising and Aboriginal Insurrection against foreigners since Mohanjodor Harappa to British raj. Partion was the RESOLUTION to seek Ram rajya in an Indian HOLOCAUST and Bloodshed INFINITE. The Feudal Princely Zamindar Class have adopted the Corporate Culture adjusting very well in Post Modern manusmriti apartheid Galaxy Order. Rs Ten Lac corore Indian national Budget is spent in Defence deals and kickbacks, Sixth pay commision, Energy Crisis, Nuclear space Armament and a Bailout of the INFLATED FII FDI so called RISILIENT Economy from NON Existing Recession in India. Indian comanies and MNCS grew in TRIPLE fold of which about twenty percent comes from HIRE and Fire policy. Every Profitable PSU has to be Disinvested or Divested as the Trade Union Movement is Captured by the Marxists and the Left which Never do addresses Job Loss, Unemployment and Rights of the working class. deprived of Livelihood, Land, home AVERAGE Enslaved iIndian are Destined to live aand die as SLUMDOGs in Urban Semi urban and Rural India as well. Basic services and necessities, Food Insecurity, Starvation and Pandemic Problems are Never Addressed. DEMOGOGUES hold on the State Power arousing castelogy and ETHNONationalism. Unprecedented hatred and Violence ENVELOP us and the Geopolitics is made an INFINITE battleground. Though India Suffered the Partition Holocaust and refugee Influx continues even today. The Ruling Hegemony further partitioned the Nation into Landscape as well as Humanscape DIVIDES as North India the Cow belt, South India , the Dravid land and the Himalyan Zone including Kashmir , gorkhaland, uttarakhand and Entire North east most of which is under the UMBRELLA of AFPSA since 1958. We the people divided in different landscapes and humanscapes have no Interactions as Market Dominating Minority Brahamin policy Makers, Intelligentsia, civil society and media play all the MIND Control Game to Isolate ourselves into little Islands and hence we Never may be able to break the Walls of Concentration camps of Mental blocks as we are Controlled Minds and behave like BIOLOGICAL Robots.
While Icon like Arundhati ray addresses the problems of alien landscape or Humanscpae we react very subjective and enhance the HATE campaign with personal attack. I do agree and also know personally all the details unfolded by Ms RAY.
But I am alos AWARE of the Human Documentation of hatred as revealed in high caste Indian L:iterature and Journalism! They present and showcase themselves most Human. Trashankar Bandopaddhyaya to Mahashweta Debi, SALMAN Rushdie to arundhatui ray, Amitav Ghosh to Rajkamal Jha the story is same. They seem to stand UNITED Rock Solid with the Aboriginal Indigenous People in their Anti fascist Anti Imperialist secular Inclusive Mode as GANDHI has been the best ICON in this GENRE but little Sympathy they would have in their hearts and would Never go beyound their Class and caste Interest. Just they Oblige us to raise the voice against us. For example, Ulka Mahajan and medha Patkar Phenomenon and Projected NGO mass movement in Hard RH light may explain the grownd reality as we gain NOTHING from the Projected Ideology or Insurrection. At last LPG Mafia gains stronger.
For eaxample, Ms Mamat Banerjee had aligned with the Maoists and worked together even in Lalgrah movement with Chhatradhar Mahato as well as Kishanjee. but getting the share in Powerpolitics she breaks through a major Turnaround demanding ARMY Operation against Maoist Branded Millions of Aboriginal People trying to sustain tehemselves demanding Civil and Human Rights.
Mamata Banerjee also does CONVERT she is now a MATUA. MATUA Religion was the direct product of CHANDAL Movement in Dalit Renaissanince of bengal which succeeded in Indigo Revolt as well as anti Untouchability Movement. Mamata Matua Banerjee has declared that she would worship the DALIT Avtar of GOD, harichand Thakur only but she takes no stance on Matua demands . The matuas demand citizenship for eevry East Bengal refugee, the Partition victims. mamata has not responded as yet. she has not clarified her stance on EXTRA chances for SC, ST and OBC. She has not demnaded justice for Marichjhanpi Genocide even after thirty years following suit the bengali Intelligentsia as well as society which wre HABITUAL to have every CAKE during the haydays of marxist Hegemony and now NEVR feel ashamed of being the part and parcel of railway Ministry.
Mahashweta debi, the daughter of Manish Ghatak, wife of BIJO Bhattacharya, Mother of Nabarun Bhattacharya and the niece of RITWIK Ghatak has been writing on Tribal Rights whereas she has not spoken a word against Dalit Genocide or Persecution in Bengal.She NEVER tlks on Refugee Problem UNSOLVED til this date.
mamata speaks for Lalgarh Tribal but she has kept MUM on THREE MILLION Partiotion Victim east Bengal Refugees settled in the Maoist Geopolitics STRANDED in CROSS Fire.
Arundhati Ray speaks for a different landscape and Humanscape ISOLATED from the Rest of India.We must Thank Ray as well as OUT Look India for this Highlight. We may debate on the limitation of Mrs ray limited in her Class character as Indian Communist, Marxist and Maoist Movement have always been led by BRAHAMIN General secretaries, central committes and polit bureaus and always they have BETRAYED our people. We have to bear the heat an dust of ETHNIC Cleansing while the people like Arundhati ray, mahashweta debi and Medha Patkar, BARBARA Rao and DEEPANKAR bhattachary, Prakash Karat and Brinda Karat would Enjoy the ICON status and bargain in Power Politics to hget personal and class Mileage. They would not creat any DEMOCRATIC process to resolve the Problems but would always ENCASH the STAND Off for reasons understandable!
I beleive that the DEBATE should focus on the basic Problems of ETHNIC cleansing and Mass destruction in an age of ECONOMIC Reforms and LOOT of National and Natural resources.

I Have been a very loyal reader of Outlook India and Ms ARUNDHATI Ray. I have been writing on the topic Maosim as detecting the Space Popular Resistance by thr INDIGENOUS Aboriginal Nature associated people against the Monopolistic Corporate Imperialist Onslaught ontheir only holding the nature associate traditional Property Natural Resouce. Since FREE MARKET sntach everything and Economic Reforms means ETHNIC Cleansing in the best ineterst of Minoriti DOMINATING CASTE Hindu Brahaminical Communities and US War ECONOMY, Democracy as well as Parliamentary system and Constituyion with the rest of SUFFERING Majority Masses remain IRRELEVANT.
The Fight for Land is alright which Ms ray Highlights quite effectively but she hardly refers the Major COINCIDENCE that MAOSIT falare UP as well as Projected NGO Mass Movements led by the BRAHAMINICAL leadership defend Corporate interest as well as MANUSMRITI Apartheid Rule. Maoist attack the State Power Structure which is as much as SINILAR to the AFPSA Repression, Military Oprion with Zero Intoletance, Man Made Calamities and Pandemics and the STRUCTURAL Insyitutional unprecedented Hatred, Discrimination, inequality, Injustice, Violence and subversion. But the Maoist do play the Power Play on their part to help either part of ruling Hegemony as it is clear with Mamata Banarejee appearing maoist to harvest the Electoral Mandate manipulated in Hypocricy and Revenge play. Maoist BLOOM just after the LPG Mafia and INDIA Incs took over Governance, policy Making and Adminstraion and so Called Representatives do feel Happy go all round with SHOCKING Wealth, Power, Previllege and loyality to Zionist Dyansty. THe Peripherry of US war Economy, latest War Zone Indian Divided Geoploitics engaged in Nuclear and Space ARMAMENT guided and aligned by and with Pentagon does depend on the Internal security on either US ARMY or CIA and Mossad. Trained in India, they fight in Iraq. But the Maoists have NEVER involved themselves in Trade Union Movement and NEVER EVER did anything to HARM and attack CORPORATE infrastructure anywhere in Free Base Areas. Maoists as well as Media Creat the GROUND of STATE sponsered Mass destruction which Strengthens the Market Dominating BRAHAMINICAL comminities. Incidentally, Ms ray, an ICON herselfis also a BRAHMIN as Mahashweta Di and mamata Banerjee, Medha and Ulka happen to be. Our people, the Negroid Black untouchables are to be SCAPE Goats!

The end of Koda the survivor
From staging a coup to dislodge the NDA government in 2006 to become the youngest chief minister of Jharkhand, Madhu Koda has always been
a survivor till major ally JMM in the state's UPA withdrew support to his government on August 17.
Born on January 6, 1971, Koda, hailing from a tribal farming community, began his political career as a RSS worker in 1990 and entered the state assembly in 2000 on a BJP ticket from Jagganathpur constituency.
He retained the seat as an independent after BJP denied him nomination, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise for him.
Koda served as a cabinet minister in the erstwhile BJP governments headed by Babulal Marandi and Arjun Munda before he became the fifth chief minister after Marandi, Munda (twice) and Soren.
He became the chief minister as an independent MLA after he assumed the post on September 18, 2006 in the wake of the fall of the saffron government.
He endured many pulls and pressures to survive for nearly two years before JMM supremo Shibu Soren declared that his government's 'baggage of misgovernance' could not be carried further.
Buddhadeb 'both a Marxist and a Maoist': Mamata
Countering the CPM's allegation of her party's truck with the Maoists, Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee today said the Maoists
and the Marxists are both sides of the same coin.
"I think that the Marxists and the Maoists are both sides of the same coin. They are working together," Banerjee told newspersons here.
Alleging that the CPM was running the government with the help of the Maoists, she said there was no difference between the violent activities of the Maoists and Marxists.
"If Maoists are to be banned, why not the CPM which is also carrying out armed operations in the state?"
Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee had appealed to the Trinamool Congress yesterday to "severe links with the rebels".
Describing Bhattacharjee as "both a Marxist and Maoist with a double face," Banerjee accused him of inaction in tracing the missing policemen Sabir Ali Molla and Kanchan Gorai reportedly kidnapped by Maoists on July 30.
"The Union Home Minister had said that the Centre is willing to help in the search of these two policemen. I want to know why they are not being looked for even after this. Does not the Chief Minister have the responsibility to look for them?" she said.
She claimed the state government was using CPM cadre to carry out armed operations against opposition leaders and workers. 69 Trinamool supporters have been killed by CPM activists over the past few months.
Banerjee said she had handed over evidence regarding the killing of Trinamool men to Union Home Minister P Chidambaram.
She also gave a list of 14 Trinamool activists who remained untraced in Nandigarm and its vicinity during the anti-land acquisition campaign there. Banerjee said according to locals, they had been killed by CPM cadre and their bodies thrown in the Haldi river.
The Railway Minister also accused the CPM of amassing huge sums of unaccounted money, and said this will come to light once the Centre takes the move to unearth black money stashed in Swiss banks.
Banerjee said the government was not "doing its duty" in checking the spiralling price rise. "Potato is selling at Rs 30 a kilo. But farmers are not getting a fair price."
She said although the PDS is in the hand of the state government, it was not doing anything to ensure supply of essentials and thereby stabilise their prices.
Trinamool, Maoists jointly unleashing violence: Jyoti Basu
With the crucial by-election to 10 Assembly seats in West Bengal barely nine days away, CPM patriarch Jyoti Basu today charged Trinamool
Congress with joining hands with Maoists to unleash violence in the state.
"Everyday our workers are getting killed. Common people, police personnel, doctors, nurses are also slain. Our party office is burnt. Trinamool Congress and Maoists are doing this together. They are taking law into their own hands," the nonagenarian leader said in a statement.
Describing the coming Assembly by-polls as "very important", Basu said, "Democracy is under attack, peace is disturbed. We had restored peace and democracy in 1977 with people's support".
Seeking support for the Leftits, Basu said, "Our result in the last Lok Sabha election was poor. Some of our sympathisers and friends had voted against us. It is not their fault. We could not take our view points properly to the people".
Basu's statement, which came after the CPM-led Left Front's successive poor showing in the Lok Sabha, Assembly by-elections and municipal polls, also admitted that there were some mistakes on the part of party.
Amitabh Bachchan gets clean chit in Barabanki land row
A five-member committee constituted by Barabanki district administration has given a clean chit to Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan in a
case of alleged land forgery.
The committee, headed by a sub-divisional magistrate, in its report submitted yesterday, turned down the charges of forgery against Bachchan following which a complaint lodged by son of the Daulatpur village head was quashed, Superintendent of Police Alok Singh said today.
The committee, constituted by District Magistrate Vikas Gothwal, in its report said Bachchan had only proposed to donate two plots in Daulatpur village to the gram samaj.
"As the process to donate plots to the gram sabha was not completed, it cannot be proved that plot numbers 711 and 793 were to be transfered to the gram samaj," the report said.
Amitabh Bachchan gets SMS threat for visiting Dargah, temple
Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan has revealed that he was threatened by an unnamed person through a text message for visiting a Hindutemple and a Muslim dargah. ( Watch Video )
The 67-year-old actor had described his religious routines in an earlier blog, which led the unknown person to threaten him against doing so, but the megastar is undeterred.
"That I visit a Muslim dargah and a Hindu temple has been viciously criticized by an unknown element on my mobile. He says it is incorrect of me to do so and that I should never do it again." Bachchan wrote on his blog.
The actor had visited the Haji Ali dargah in the wee hours on Thursday and then went to a nearby temple. He also visited a small dargah on and finally went to the Siddhivinayak temple.
But despite the warning, Bachchan insists that he is unaffected by such reactions.
"I am going to do it again, and shall continue to do it. And I want to see how you are going to stop me. If you have the courage and guts come and get me," he wrote.
The man has also warned the actor that his latest film 'Aladin', which hit the theatres yesterday, will not be successful because of Bachchan's act of visiting the dargah and temple.
"If the film has merit, no force on earth will be able to stop its worth. If the film is weak and does not have merit, no force on earth shall be able to make it a success. At the cost of every film of mine failing, I am not going to change my routine," wrote Bachchan.
Amitabh Bachchan 'pained' by fraud allegation
Pervez Iqbal Siddiqui, TNN 26 October 2009, 01:32am IST
Megastar Amitabh Bachchan is distressed over the allegations of his involvement in the Rs 500 crore fraud against him and Samajwadi
Party general secretary Amar Singh. In a pained and comprehensive blog, Big B has sought answers to more than 20 questions ‘‘despite spasmodic shoulder pain’’.
From questioning the reason behind the case of ‘‘a supposed fraud’’ being reported at ‘‘a small almost unknown police station, Babupurwa, in far off Kanpur’’, to pointing out how bogus FIRs, Bofors and Barabanki have bogged him down time and again, the Bollywood superhero says it all.
‘‘Is it a fact that no police officer was willing to register the case as they couldn’t find anything wrong?’’ he asks. That inspector of Babupurwa refused to register the complaint and was transferred an hour before the new inspector came in to lodge the FIR as his first job at the new post?
That the government later discovered that all proper procedures had been followed by the ‘‘accused’’ in the FIR? That clearances from the Income Tax Department, the Company Law Board and the hon’ble High Court of Kolkata had been obtained? And that finding themselves in an embarrassing spot, the authorities washed their hands off and sent the case to Kolkata? The questions, as per his admission, are based on his ‘‘own little enquiry’’.
Closely following the developments in regard to the Kanpur FIR, Bachchan expresses relief over the Allahabad high court dismissing a petition seeking the court’s monitoring of the investigations and progress into the FIR.
‘‘Meanwhile, back home, that most obnoxiously constructed case of this fraud of Rs 500 crore has reached another proportion,’’ his Sunday blog reads.
‘‘Without warning and with an intent to save face, the administration, on receiving its complaint back from Kolkata Courts of Law stating there was no illegality in the matter, moved Allahabad HC without informing us, or without seeking our desire for representation.
This afternoon the matter was dismissed by the hon’ble HC, in our favour apparently stating that there was no basis to this case!
‘‘I have much to say on this. But now my pain intensifies. I have to travel tomorrow to contribute in and open a diabetic center in another city. I must rest,’’ he concludes, but not without promising ‘‘more later’’
