Make PoK Refugees Citizens Of Jammu & Kashmir Also

How Shocking! – Jammu has over 2 million refugees are originally from Pakistan Occupied Jammu & Kashmir, West Pakistan and even Kashmir. As you can see in the picture, they continue to live in very bad conditions even though they are INDIAN CITIZENS. They have NOT been given citizenship of Jammu and Kashmir even though they live in camps in Jammu & Kashmir for decades. Due to this they are only permanent residents and cannot buy property, get government benefits and obviously vote. Previous J&K government did give state citizenship rights to Uyghur Muslims who migrated from China to Tibetan Muslims, so there is past precedence. The delay is another instance of religion based discrimination for Hindu and Sikh communities in J&K.

Only In India – 11 Crores To Perform Last Rites For Jain Monk

Shri Premsurjiswaji, 97, a highly revered Jain monk and who was the chief of Tapagachha sect died recently. Not surprising, Jains consider it to be a great honour to support and take part in the funeral rites of such eminent monks including lighting the pyre and rituals that follow. In keeping with this spirit, 5 members of the Jain community, a builder, a doctor and three other business persons raised a combined 11,11,11,111 which is more than 11 crores to light the funeral pyre. A temple will come up at the funeral site. Perhaps some wonder what happens to such large funds raised and the simple answer is a trust fund is setup and all donated funds are used for charitable purposes.

Angry India Wants Action For Uri Attack… But PM Modi Will Make Pakistan Bleed ‘Without Noise’

India, its soldiers, and the families of the martyred soldiers are all very angry with Pakistan and wants immediate action. This is understandable. A counter attack on Pakistan sets a dangerous precedent and could spiral into war with a nuclear armed neighbour. While Indians are debating every action in detail as is our nature, don’t expect this government to make public its thinking on future actions. Some things have already happened: there will not be any joint military exercises in PoK – Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, Russia, with the second strongest military will NOT supply MIG-35 to Pakistan. Several countries are supporting India, the majors but also Saudi Arabia (you read right). In case of a war, Afghanistan has promised to provide a military base for Indian operations. And we can only guess that more is coming. In fact Pakistani strategists have said, that ‘Modi is not for war, but he will make Pakistan Bleed Without Making Noise! We should all remember that our PM is looking for a PERMANENT SOLUTION, not for some temporary win!

For The 4th Year, Bengalis Not Allowed To Celebrate Durga Puja Due To Fear Of Muslims…?

News reports like this makes us wonder which India is this. Hundreds of Hindu families living in Hindu majority areas of Birbhum district of West Bengal have been denied the permission to have Durga Puja celebrations due to fear of a few muslim families, per reports from the villagers of this area. Police claim to be a law and order issue but how can anyone be denied to celebrate any festival let alone the biggest festival of the year? And this is the fourth year? Aren’t the police suppose to provide security and ensure law and order? Last year Last year West Bengal government banned the processions for immersion of  Durga idols as it clashed with Muharram.

Wow – Children Spotted Suspicious People And Reported To Police

Several children spotted several suspicious looking men in military uniforms near the naval facility in Uran which is around 50 kilometers from Mumbai. This was at 6:45pm and the children promptly notified the police authorities, and the NSG was deployed. Intelligence agencies have asked residents of the area not to venture out. Luckily the media has been kept out of interviewing these children. So these children could make this security connection and report this immediately in the morning which probably likely avoided a major disaster – that is a big deal!!!

India’s First Modeling Agency For Hijras Setup By A Hijras

Hijras or transgenders have a tough time getting accepted by society – whether it is India or anywhere else in the world. Hijras like to dress as boys or girls or both, so they like to model. One hijra decided to capitalize on this by setting up India’s first hijra modeling agency, “the Bold” – where all the models are Hijras – they have a handful so far. Now hijras have been featured in certain south Indian magazine covers (and viewers have applauded). In yet another success, one hijra model – “Deepti” who was featured in a magazine cover has become Kerala celebrity.

India Will Support Balochistan’s Human Rights Now, More Later May Be?

India is courageously raising awareness in United Nations and other global forums of the extensive human rights violations in both Balochistan and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, the genocide of local people by the Pakistan army and the total absence of democratic rights. Thousands have been driven out and thousands have disappeared without any trace. Balochistan, which is about 40% the size of Pakistan,  actually was to be an independent country. India is not stopping at these actions, but All India Radio will start a Balochi language service and website, and setup powerful transmitters for the broadcasts to reach people in Balochistan, Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Strange: Supreme Court Asks Karnataka & Tamil Nadu To Not Allow Any Agitations

Sadly, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu are fighting with each other due to the centuries old Cauvery river water problem. The conflict took an ugly turn after the Supreme Court ordered the release of water by Karnataka to Tamil Nadu. With so much conflict dating back to history, now the Supreme Court has ordered Tamil Nadu and Karnataka to ensure that neither agitation nor shutdowns take place after the court passed their orders, and that order has to be complied with. Does this make any sense? It does not…

Why Is India Funding The Kashimiri Separatists?

It would be shocking to learn that the government of India for decades has been providing extensive security and also providing funding to the very same Kashmiri separatists who seem to encourage pro-Pakistani slogans, chanting azadi slogans, hoisting and carrying Pakistani flags, possibly even shelting cross-border terrorists, and lately inciting violence against our armed forces and police. A public interest litigation was filed with the Supreme Court, which declined to hear the petition. So the question all Indians must ask is should such funding be continued given the violent and anti-national nature of the recent protests?
