This due to the confluence of caste, politics, corruption and ignorant voters. Is the nation in a coma? http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2010/05/31/stories/2010053150300900.htm   Europeans believe that Indian leaders are too blinded by new wealth and deceit to comprehend that the day will come when the have-nots will hit the streets.   Mohan Murti, Date:31/05/2010  A few days ago I was in a panel discussion on mergers and acquisitions in Frankfurt, Germany, organised by Euroforum and The Handelsblatt, one of the most prestigious newspapers in German-speaking Europe.   The other panellists were senior officials of two of the largest carmakers and two top insurance companies — all German multinationals operating in India.   The panel discussion was moderated by a professor from the esteemed European Business School. The hall had an audience that exceeded a hundred well-known European CEOs. I was the only Indian.   After the panel discussion, the floor was open for questions. That was when my “moment of truth” turned into an hour of shame, embarrassment — when the participants fired questions and made remarks on their experiences with the evil of corruption in India.   The awkwardness and humiliation I went through reminded of The Moment of Truth, the popular Anglo-American game. The more questions I answered truthfully, the more the questions get tougher. Tougher here means more embarrassing.   European disquiet Questions ranged from “Is your nation in a coma?”, the corruption in judiciary, the possible impeachment of a judge, the 2G scam and to the money parked illegally in tax havens.   It is a fact that the problem of corruption in India has assumed enormous and embarrassing proportions in recent years, although it has been with us for decades. The questions and the debate that followed in the panel discussion was indicative of the European disquiet. At the end of the Q&A session, I surmised Europeans perceive India to be at one of those junctures where tripping over the precipice cannot be ruled out.   Let me substantiate this further with what the European media has to say in recent days. In a popular prime-time television discussion in Germany, the panellist, a member of the German Parliament quoting a blog said: “If all the scams of the last five years are added up, they are likely to rival and exceed the British colonial loot of India of about a trillion dollars.”   Banana Republic One German business daily which wrote an editorial on India said: “India is becoming a Banana Republic instead of being an economic superpower. To get the cut motion designated out, assurances are made to political allays. Special treatment is promised at the expense of the people. So, Ms Mayawati who is Chief Minister of the most densely inhabited state, is calmed when an intelligence agency probe is scrapped. The multi-million dollars fodder scam by another former chief minister wielding enormous power is put in cold storage. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh chairs over this kind of unparalleled loot.”   An article in a French newspaper titled “Playing the Game, Indian Style” wrote: “Investigations into the shadowy financial deals of the Indian cricket league have revealed a web of transactions across tax havens like Switzerland, the Virgin Islands, Mauritius and Cyprus.” In the same article, the name of one Hassan Ali of Pune is mentioned as operating with his wife a one-billion-dollar illegal Swiss account with “sanction of the Indian regime”.   A third story narrated in the damaging article is that of the former chief minister of Jharkhand, Madhu Koda, who was reported to have funds in various tax havens that were partly used to buy mines in Liberia. “Unfortunately, the Indian public do not know the status of that enquiry,” the article concluded.   “In the nastiest business scam in Indian records (Satyam) the government adroitly covered up the political aspects of the swindle — predominantly involving real estate,” wrote an Austrian newspaper. “If the Indian Prime Minister knows nothing about these scandals, he is ignorant of ground realities and does not deserve to be Prime Minister. If he does, is he a collaborator in crime?”   The Telegraph of the UK reported the 2G scam saying: “Naturally, India's elephantine legal system will ensure culpability, is delayed.”   Blinded by wealth This seems true. In the European mind, caricature of a typical Indian encompasses qualities of falsification, telling lies, being fraudulent, dishonest, corrupt, arrogant, boastful, speaking loudly and bothering others in public places or, while travelling, swindling when the slightest of opportunity arises and spreading rumours about others.   The list is truly incessant.   My father, who is 81 years old, is utterly frustrated, shocked and disgruntled with whatever is happening and said in a recent discussion that our country's motto should truly be Asatyameva Jayete.   Europeans believe that Indian leaders in politics and business are so blissfully blinded by the new, sometimes ill-gotten, wealth and deceit that they are living in defiance, insolence and denial to comprehend that the day will come, sooner than later, when the have-nots would hit the streets.   In a way, it seems to have already started with the monstrous and grotesque acts of the Maoists. And, when that rot occurs, not one political turncoat will escape being lynched.   The drumbeats for these rebellions are going to get louder and louder as our leaders refuse to listen to the voices of the people. Eventually, it will lead to a revolution that will spill to streets across the whole of India, I fear.   Perhaps we are the architects of our own misfortune. It is our sab chalta hai (everything goes) attitude that has allowed people to mislead us with impunity. No wonder Aesop said. “We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to high office.”   (The author is former Europe Director, CII, and lives in Cologne, Germany. blfeedback-lJghiuBlynZhmhkoCovsdw@public.gmane.org.)

Dattatreya Patil- His sacrifice shall not go in vain

"I think we all have to admit that the RTI is an important tool of good governance and being an RTI activist, I believe that I won't be giving up RTI activism although being in the civil services." this is what Dr Shah Faizal, the first IAS Topper from Jammu and Kashmir said in his interview with IBN7. He added to it- "In fact, I feel that this the opportunity that I take the RTI activism across the table as an administrator and strengthen the roots of RTI in J-K."
Now, the same IBN7 was sadly to report- “Another Right to Information (RTI) activist has been murdered in Maharashtra. Dattatreya Patil, an activist from Ichalkaranji in the Kolhapur district, was found dead on May 22.”  
Sometimes back on 13 January 2010, 38-year old Satish Shetty, who exposed several land scams and irregularities in Kerosene distribution  was murdered in Poona when he was returning home from a morning walk. And they are not alone. There are so many examples of RTI activists having lost their lives on the altar of their selfless endeavour. To my knowledge there is  Lalit Kumar Mehta, member of Vikas Sahyog Kendra (Palamau District), who was brutally killed on 14 May 2008, Shashidhar Mishra whom unidentified motorcycle-borne criminals shot dead on 16 February 2010 at his Phulwaria village residence in Begusarai,  Venkatesh of Eeranapalya murdered on April 07, 2009 as he had launched a movement to save the BBMP land in Banglore and Ranga Rao from in Krishna district, Andhra
Pradesh murdered near his house. These are the people who have now become the RTI martyrs. They are dead and gone, seeking information from the closed doors of governance and in the process even losing their lives. Each one of them was young and dynamic. And had big dreams in their eyes. Not for themselves but for the society around them. They wanted to rebuild and refurbish the society in a novel manner by attacking the corrupt elements around them who had all kinds of support from all kinds of influential quarters. But before they could make the necessary dent, they were attacked at and silenced for ever.
Like the others who have been killed for the sake of RTI, Patil was also well known  and well-respected in his hometown Ichalkaranji in the Kolhapur district for taking on administrators. But love and affection were gained only at a price. And the price was huge animosity from those who were being adversely affected by his activism. These people, who must be regarding themselves above law, attacked with an open sword. That too  after his assailants threw chilli powder on his face to blind him, thus  killing him so brazenly and brutally. There were reasons for influential people hating him.  It was he who had petitioned the local court against horse trading during municipal council elections and had  demanded an inquiry into the assets of 2 former police inspectors. As per the report of Sri Ashutosh Shukla  of DNA dated 26/05/2010,- “Patil, a close associate of social activist Anna Hazare, had recently unearthed a corruption racket, which had resulted in removal of the area’s deputy superintendent of police, a senior police inspector and action was initiated against officials of the Ichalkaranji Corporation.” He quotes Shivaji Raut, a local journalist saying- “The family is very distressed and they do not trust the police and the CID. They want to wait for three more days before demanding a CBI enquiry,”
Patil’s deeds had been legendary. He had pursued the matter of money to the tune of Rs. 370 crore being pumped in Kolhapur district, with neighbouring Sangli, Satara and Sindhudurg districts, the funds being in excess of Rs 766 crore and these being not used properly.  He had filed a public interest petition in March this year seeking action against local Congress MP and former minister Jaywantrao Avale and his sons for alleged misappropriation of Rs 7.6 crore in one such society. He had named NCP's Prakash Awade and former social justice minister Chandrakant Handore in several of his complaints to the police.
As per Press information, six persons have been arrested in connection with Patil's murder so far. As per a police officer’s statement in Press- “ They have confessed to the crime. We have also confiscated the murder weapon. “
Not being in knowledge of the exact facts in this regards, it would be highly improper for me to comment on this. But I (like all other RTI activists and other socially aware people) would certainly want to know more about the entire facts related with the case. I would request the people from the region to share the facts and true picture of the matter, so that the matter is properly pursued and the accused are dealt with as per the strongest provisions of law.
I, on behalf of the National RTI forum and on my individual self, pay my deepest respect to the departed soul and fully believe that his sacrifice will always be remembered by every sensible and public-spirited person.

Friends,

I present a live case before u. It started with my putting forth a small statement- ""A Lt General accused of molesting a Colonel's wife is thrown out of Army. Ye kya ho raha hai?" on the social networking site Facebook. To this there were different answers but the one that really stunned me was from a friend w...hose view was that- " No man can molest a woman , and that too a married woman of force ... NEVER , without her willing consent". He also says that - "I have always observed ... that this type of stupid behaviour is common in love affairs".
It is this statement by an otherwise learned and sober person that I want to present before you all for discussion and opinion making. To me the person who made the statement is not important, nor is my idea to criticize him or to dissect his background. To me what really matters is the fact that even today, in the 21st Century, there is a male perception that goes on to say that molestation of a woman (particularly a married woman) is not possible (without her consent). If slightly extended this statement comes to mean that molestation, rape and such other lurid and heinous crimes against women are simply not possible as long as the women are not a party to it. Frankly I not only completely disagree with this statement but also find it absolutely sickening. And also terrifying. Terrifying because it is this kind of male mind-set that is responsible for many heinous and dangerous crimes against women go completely unheard and unpunished. What this gentleman is saying might as well be the mental thought process of the Judge or the Magistrate who has been given the responsibility of delivering Justice. And if the person has already made a presumption that there can't be a crime of this nature against a woman (more so in the case of married women), then one can understand what kind of justice is the woman going to get from the concerned court.
We have seen the dramatic version of these situations in the celebrated film "Damini" where "Taarikh pe taarikh" could not give justice to the raped woman till the very end. We also know of such widely discussed cases on rape like the Mathura rape case and Bhanwari Devi case where victim had to pass through such insulting times even in the law courts that it led to great revolt and resistance by the women activists from all over India. But it seems that no change of law and regulations on Rape has been able to actually change the deep-rooted antipathy of this kind of people for whom women are nothing more than a plaything.
If what these people say is true then what is the need of any law on Rape? Why have different sections on women abuse and molestation? I am not commenting at all on the case related with the Lt Genera in the Army where he lost his job due to the allegations made by a Colonel's wife. Each case is different and must be treated so. I also don't say that women don't feign wrong abuse. In my husband Amitabh ji's policing career, I have myself come across such cases where it was clear that the woman is making false accusations. I remember a case in Gagaha police station in Gorakhpur, when my husband was very new in the service and after a raid that he had conducted, the woman whom they had arrested with weapons had made written accusations of rape against 10-12 police officers, except luckily my husband. The matter got exposed within a day or two but it had given my husband a lot of mental harassment.
But then to sweepingly generalize such a statement is really too much. In my opinion it shows the poor mental outlook and extremely biased world view of many of the male folk. It also gives the reason why still justice is being denied to one half of the human population in such a large measure.
I as a social activist and a gender-rights activist not only strongly condemn such wrongly-placed mental outlook but also consider them extremely dangerous for the proper development and functioning of human society in a just manner. I know that such a statement by an individual is not really important, what actually counts is the overall gender perception. And this statement somehow seems to represent the same distorted gender perception

We oppose J Balakrishnan’s appointment as NHRC Chairman

"Both Advocates and Judges have an equal responsibility towards the society. So both deserve equal respect from the people."- J K G Balakrishnan, ex-Chief Justice of India and the incumbent Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission.
“This stubborn attitude greatly damaged the image of judiciary in the country, and the already eroding faith and confidence of the people in the judicial system only got further reduced in the wake of such an attitude on the part of the former CJI,”-J  D V Shylendra Kumar, Karnataka High Court Judge
"He wants publicity and such a thing is not good for a judge. Judges should not be publicity-crazy." – J Balakrishnan
"On a legal place the CJI does not have the authority to speak for all judges of the Supreme Court, or High Courts, unless any of them have either confided in the Chief Justice or have authorised him to speak on behalf of others."-  J Shylendra Kumar
I present these four statements before you just to show that things are not exactly rosy in the Judiciary. The murmur of "all is not well" was there for a long time but during the last few years the situation has worsened a lot. And the worst so far has been seen in the tenure of J K G Balakrishnan who has just retired as the Chief Justice of India and is now appointed as the Chairman of NHRC. As per the NHRC's own website -"The National Human Rights Commission is an expression of India's concern for the protection and promotion of human rights." We can fully understand what kind of custodian of Human Rights of the citizen of this Nation J Balakrishnan would prove to be, particularly when during his three year long tenure as the CJI all he earned is a reputation of being biased, politically motivated and anti-people. During his entire tenure, many of his judgments were being seen as being motivated to please different powerful politicians and political forum as per their rising future prospects at that time. I remember a remark made by a High Court Judge before whom I had appeared in a Writ Petition saying the party concerned in a matter of political significance that if he wanted a favourable decision he could very well go to the Supreme Court where the CJI would be more than obliged to do so. He also said this is what the CJI had being doing in all such cases. One can understand the situation when a High Court Judge can dare to say such disparaging things in the Open Court. I can never prove this statement of mine because in all certainty the concerned Judge will straight way refute this and might even call me a liar but the fact remains that J Balakrishnan had slowly started acquiring a reputation of being highly pliable and politically guided.
The situation worsted in the J Dinakaran case where the controversial Chief Justice from Karnataka High Court was to be elevated to the Supreme Court despite all kinds of clear-cut allegations. The way J Balakrishnan behaved during the entire sequence of events, changing his stand every now and then, made every publicly-spirited person feel really humiliated. In one statement while defending J Dinakaran he said- "“All these allegations have been raised when his name was suggested to be elevated”
The next to come was the Judges Assets episode. J Balakrishnan fought tooth and nail to keep the Judges out of the ambit of the RTI Act as regards their personal assets. As everyone can easily understand, no one in the land, including the Supreme Court and High Court judges are above law. There can be no discriminatory privilege to be enjoyed by a person just because he/she is a member of the Higher Judiciary. This single stand of J Balakrishnan generated so much hue and cry and exposed him to the general public that not only he but also the top judiciary started losing some of its shine. The Nation must be thankful to J Shylendra Kumar, the brave hero of this country, who must have had to face all kinds of humiliation, disturbances, threats and boycott from many fellow Judges as can be seen from the statement made by J Balakrishnan when he said that J Shylendra Kumar is publicity crazy. So, a person who is on a justified stand and who becomes the first Judge in the country to declare his assets publicly is "publicity crazy" and the person who goes to all possible extent and uses all his power and authority to stop this from happening is now the Chairman of India's Human Rights Commission. One can very well understand what would be there is store for the people in an important case which involves any truly powerful persons from the government. In all certainty J Balakrishnan might shy away from delivering justice just the same way he had been shying away from declaring his and his fellow Judges assets.
We are never against an individual and have nothing against Sri Balakrishnan as a person but for the above explained reasons, we vehemently oppose the appointment of J Balakrishnan as the Chairman of NHRC and fully endorse the view expressed by J Shylendra Kumar that -"Balakrishnan tarnished image of judiciary’" and hence a suitable person must be chosen for this post which needs much of independent thinking.

The New Caste System   http://blogs. timesofindia. indiatimes.com/ By-order- Management/entry/ the-new- caste-system Neelakantan,  13 May 2010,   While there is much debate over the ancient caste system - if you see all around you, a new system of social division has taken its place. This caste system is slightly different from the ancient one. The ancient one classified people into 4 varnas - this one is a little more specific - considering the needs of the modern society. In the ancient system, you could move from one caste to another - even a shudra could be king - the modern one is a bit tougher to navigate. Today's caste system is a bit different in that sense. This system builds walls around certain places that are difficult for an outsider to scale. If you are an outsider, you can say goodbye to your aspirations or be ready to pay a heavy entry cost. Take the case of politicians. Today there are political families and non political families. Much of us fall in the latter. If your grandfather or father or grandmother or mother is a politician, there is a greater chance that you will at least get a dekko into politics. Most of our young parliamentarians are new first names with very well known old last names. Try getting a party ticket without a well known last name and let me know how it went.  Much of our film industry is of a similar nature. Connections are the way to get there. It is not easy for an outsider to break in - especially if you want to be backed by a big budget banner. And the connection of big money in politics and big money in cinema forms another system that feed off one another. In sports it is a little tougher to make the cut purely because of your last name, but clear ly, you can get your opportunities to prove yourself. Take almost any other business or self employment option. Architects, Lawyers, Chartered Accountants, Dentists - in all these professions, it is far easier to establish a reputation if your last name is well known in the profession and you will find often generations of families following the same business . I am not saying that a newbie has no scope here, but one has to think smart. This, then, is the new caste system. Except possibly in the corporate sector - if you start off right at the bottom of the food chain - this caste system has firmly established itself. Where do you fit in?

Friends,

Institute for Research and Documentation in Social Sciences (IRDS), a Civil society located in Lucknow is presenting five IRDS awards for 2010 to young achievers respectively in the fields of Medicine and Health, Human Rights, Law and legal affairs, Media and Journalism and Education. These awards are named respectively as Anandibai Joshi award, Safdar Hashmi award, V N Shukla award, Surendra Pratap Singh Award and S Ramanujam Award. All the awards have been named after those prominent Indian personalities who died while still in the prime of their youth and who had a long promising career left ahead. The awardees have been chosen with the hope that they shall try to fulfill those left promises. The five awards have been chosen in a manner that the awardee are less than 45 years as on 31st May 2010. There is no cash component associated with the award.
The five IRDS awards for 2010 are being given to Sri Sanjay Singh, Sri Yashwant Singh, Sri Mohammad Hasan Jaidi, SriAnand Kumar and Dr Amita Pandey. We congratulate them all and wish them all the best.

We present a brief introduction to each of them-

Sri Sanjay Singh (born February 1975) is a well-known Human Rights activist in the Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh, though the effects of his work are felt in a much bigger area. He has taken a holistic view of Human Rights and has been working selflessly and most devotedly for eradication of Poverty, hunger and exploitation in this region.
A  Master in Sociology, he started his works in 1995 at the tender age of age of 20 years. He founded Parmarth Samaj Sevi Sansthan for this. Some of his areas of commitment include Right to Dignity Campaign, Promotion of Livelihood means, Strengthening of Local Self Governance, Right to Information campaigns and other individual and societal Human Rights issues. In the process, he has been a target of so many influential people of the society facing all kinds of threats and violent attempts. He even lost his father Dr Lall Singh, himself a well-known social activist, to these evil forces in September 2009 but the brave man has not deterred from his path for once.
Sri Sanjay Singh has been recommended by Sri Lenin Raghuvanshi, eminent Human Rights activist from Varanasi and Gwangju Human Rights Award winner among others.
We give the Safdar Hashmi award for Human Rights 2010 to Sri Sanjay Singh for his exemplary efforts as a social activist in one of the backward regions where it is most difficult to stand for a just cause and where he has been showing rarest of courage for the poor and the downtrodden.


Sri Anand Kumar (born January 1973) is a mathematician and a columnist, best known for his Super 30 program, which he started in Patna, Bihar in 2002. Here he coaches economically backward students for the entrance exams for IITs, regarded among the toughest exams in India. By 2010, more than 200 such students had made it to IITs.
Sri Anand, born in an ordinary family, developed a great love for mathematics and even as a student started writing in International mathematics journals. This immense love for teaching mathematics led him to private tutoring and he started the Ramanujam School of Mathematics in 1997.
The idea of Super 30 for poor and needy students got implemented in 2002 when he, along with a well-known IPS officer of Bihar Sri Abhayanand began teaching 30 students belonging to economically weaker section on a completely free basis. The program has been an immense success and it has made Sri Anand a new ray of hope in the eyes of the middle class. National and International media has been extensively covering his deeds.
Sri Anand Kumar has been recommended by Sri K C Joshi, himself an IIT Kanpur graduate and a highly respected Mathematics teacher at Lucknow among others.
We give the S Ramanujam Award for Education for 2010 to Sri Anand for his path-breaking contribution to education in India, bringing the needs and special requirements of the financially handicapped people to the forefront and by giving them a new sense of dignity and providing hopes of achievements.


Sri Mohd. Hasan Zaidi (born March 1975) is an advocate from Allahabad (U.P.). He got his Law Degree from Allahabad University and is presently pursuing his Masters in Law. Though he is also an Advocate in Allahabad High Court but his major contribution to legal field lies in his writing books on the subjects which are generally by the legal writers untouched till date.  In addition to being the Managing Editor of many Legal Journals, he also has a special interest in application of Forensic Science and technology in the field of law. In fact he is a pioneer in this field. His books like DNA Tests in Criminal Investigation, Trial and Paternity Disputes, Narcoanalysis, Brain Mapping, Hypnosis & Lie detection tests in Interrogation of Suspects , Mobile phone Forensics and Electronic Surveillance and Electronic Evidence in the Courtroom Forensic science in India and World, & Anti Ragging Laws in India & World are definitely the pioneering work in their field . They become all the more relevant and important because in today’s changing circumstances, the legal field does need this active and deep intertwining between traditional law and emerging technology.
Sri Zaidi  has been recommended by Sri Ravi Kant, an eminent lawyer and leading Constitutional expert from Allahabad High Court among others.
We give the V N Shukla Award for Law 2010 to Mr Zaidi particularly for his contribution in providing much needed legal material in techno-legal sector. There has otherwise been a huge gap in this field .

Sri Yashwant Singh(born April 1973) belongs to Ghazipur  in Uttar Pradesh. He studied in the village school till class VIII and did his further studies from Allahabad University and BHU from where he finally got a degree in Journalism. He spent two years with All India Students Association, the left-oriented student organization where he was among the regular cadres. He started his career with Dainik Jagran from Lucknow, later shifting to Umar Ujala and I-next. Even worked in a mobile company for some time but his destiny lay elsewhere. He started a Hindi blog Bhadas in May 2007, which instantly became a big hit. The reason was that it was possibly the only platform where people could express themselves without any fear or inhibition. This was followed by the e-newspaper Bhadas4media.com started in August 2008 which has generated as much friends as foes and is often in controversy for its news and opinion which the mainstream media often shied away from. It is really bewildering to see Sri Singh fighting all those extremely powerful people single-handedly in the most courageous manner.
Sri Yashwant Singh has been recommended by Sri Shitla Singh, member, Press Council of India and Editor of Jan Morcha among others.
We give the S P Singh Award for Journalism 2010 to Sri Yashwant Singh for founding of the biggest Hindi blog where freedom of expression is being seen in true form. Also for the fearless journalism through Bhadas4media which is often brining him in direct confrontation with the rich and the powerful.

Dr Amita Pandey (born March 1970) received her early education from Saint Xavier's School at Bokaro Steel City. After this she obtained her MBBS and MD degrees with distinction from the prestigious GSVM Medical College, Kanpur. This was followed by Doctorate in Medicine in Medical Genetics from SG PGI Lucknow. During her doctorate studies, she came up with two researches which are of seminal importance in Medical science. The first was regarding the Alloimmune factors in Recurrent spontaneous abortion and role of Immunotherapy in its management and the second was the Multifactorial study of Infertility. Even after joining the service, she is continuously engaged in various research works of great relevance. Only recently in 2008, she got an International Fellowship from Geneva, Switzerland  to pursue research and training in Management of recurrent and refractory Ovarian Cancers. Some of her research works are actually finding massive practical applications. She has also played a pivotal role in establishing the Prenatal Diagnosis & Fetal Autopsy at in the CSM Medical University, Lucknow where she is presently an Associate Professor.
Dr Amita Pandey has been recommended by Dr Preeti Dubey, renowned Professor of GSVM Medical College, Kanpur and a pregnancy matters expert among others.
We give the Anandibai Joshi award for Medicine and Health for the year 2010 to Dr Pandey for her continuous evolution as one of the leading experts in Infertility and High risk pregnancy related issues in the country and for her sincere and innate urge to do something original in the field.
