मुंबईचे दुकाने समोर बेस्ट बसच्या स्टॉप


Topic 58:
 
ही लढाई अनेक दुकाने आणि बेस्ट दरम्यान चालू आहे, कारण बेस्ट बसच्या ह्या दुकाने समोर थांबवू आहे. ही समस्या बघितले पाहिजे. बेस्ट बस सेवा वारसा आणि देखील गरज आहे, दुकाने द्वारे आक्षेप देखील वैध दिसते.

मला सल्ला करायचे की बेस्ट आधीच स्टॉप वर जाहिराती प्रदर्शित करतात, ते अधिक चांगले होईल
जर शॉप च्या बॅनर स्टॉप वर प्रदर्शित असाल तर. हे दुकान स्टॉपची प्रदर्शनावर त्यांच्या बॅनर प्रदर्शित करण्याची परवानगी, अधिवेशन हवे.

मागे चे दुकान चे पूर्ण नाव प्रदर्शित न केल्यास काही कारण मुळे मग प्रदर्शन 80% अशा दुकाने प्रदर्शनासाठी दिला जाऊ. हे प्रदर्शन त्यांचे ओळख चालना करून दुकाने अडथळा दूर होईल, तसेच वादंग समाप्त होईल.

मात्र, हा त्यांच्या स्वत: शॉप एकमेव प्रदर्शनासाठी असावी आणि भाडे / विक्री साठी दिला जाऊ शकत नाही. त्यांचे कर शॉप वर सूचना करण्यात प्रमाणबध्द असेल किंवा सोडले जाऊ. अशा हा मुंबईचे बस च्या प्राचीन प्रणाली करण्यासाठी फायदेशीर आणि दुकाने साठी देखील सुविधाजनक होईल.

Creation of a Sindh within India

Topic 57:

When Partition was declared in 1947, Sindh’s state assembly voted in favour of Pakistan. Sindh formed part of Pakistan. But Sindhis comprised of Hindus as well, and they had a large population, which lost all its identity with the land when they migrated to India.
 

The case of Punjab and Bengal was different as they were bifurcated into two Punjabs and Bengals, those Hindus and Sikh Punjabis along with Bengalis who migrated to India from Pakistani side had at least something to call a home a ‘Punjab’ and a ‘Bengal’, this is exactly what Sindhis lost when they migrated to India, they lost land they had no place to call a home, they had no ‘Sindh’, they became psychological refugees with no home (State) of their own.

As our political situations are changing and our intellect is growing, I feel a state should be carved out near border areas of Gujarat and Rajasthan which be christened as ‘Sindh’ and Sindhis who are dispersed here and there be settled there and be compensated for their psychological loss of land. Or just like State of Jammu and Kashmir the state should be made as State of Kutch and Sindh.

It would not be dividing game or a political play; it’s all about justice which should be done to Sindhis who lost their home. We as Indians know very well that what statehood means and what sense it creates, if one group of Indians are able to enjoy sense of attachment towards a place they call as their state then other group too should have that right to be enjoyed. Sindhis too have preferred right by virtue which others enjoy, to have a place to call as home a state of Sindh.

Our National Anthem retains the word Sindh; this should be taken as auspicious omen to start the process to carve out a state called Sindh near border areas of Gujarat and Rajasthan which should face a border wall with Sindh of Pakistan, for those Sindhis who migrated to India and their descendants. State of Kutch and Sindh would be a better and practical option in that regards. It was to be done right in 1947, but being late it better than never, at least there are a lot of Sindhis who had lost their land in 1947 who would get a Sindh a home in India, it would be a ray of hope for this dispersed community which lost its everything to become Indian, Indian govt. should compensate their sacrifice, create a Sindh in India!

Telangana state, the new beginning

Topic 56:

It is decided that a new state of Telangana on basis of long standing demand would come into existence. It would become the 29th state of Union of India. I welcome this decision as it would open gates for new growth and development for those living there.


Hyderabad state which on the eve of Indian independence was tried to be kept independent or merged with Pakistan by its Nawab (Princely ruler) lost its identity when it was merged with other territories to form Andhra Pradesh. That lost of identity is regained now; it will induce a further sense of patriotism. City of Hyderabad would become a common state capital for ten year that is another practical solution.

Other territories like Vidarbha, Budoland etc would catch momentum, but that too would be in the interest of integrity of India. I would welcome the Vidarbha as a state, since it comprises a very large territory and had been always kept in isolation from development and didn’t have its appropriate share of return. It perpetually suffers from drought which is overlooked in Maharashtra assembly.

I don’t feel language should be core for statehood, practical administration is better. Two well administrated states having common language are better than a single mal-administrated state with single language. Indian scenario conveys narrow minded communal parties are root causes for mal-administration due to their vote bank issues and political play cards. 


As population grows demands for separations seem valid to me. We should be ready to walk in changing scenarios. I do have some other opinions of mine but in next blog, to be continued.

Rajnath Singh, BJP and English

May be Rajnath Singh himself tried to learn English, found it difficult, so the chief executive of BJP said English has ruined the Indian culture, and there are hardly any people who speak Sanskrit.

This is the most irresponsible statement from the chief executive of the party which talks about nationalism. Does he knows how many languages are spoken in India, and what role English plays in Indian nationalism? It is the dirtiest statement of a party which talks about nationalism; this shows its true colours.


Rajnath Singh, why do you people prefer Hindi when your party gives its official statements, why not in Sanskrit? Why don’t you prefer Tamil over English than Sanskrit, Tamil is as old as Sanskrit! Which Indian culture you talk about? Rajnath Singh, the statement you gave about English, least can you give that statement in Sanskrit, if not then mock at yourself, you’re worth that!

Start Sanskrit from platform of your party, issue and ordinance that too in Sanskrit that all spokesperson whoever speaks on behalf of BJP speaks in Sanskrit, at least repeat the sentence in Sanskrit. Ask your own self, Prakash Javadekar, Sushma Swaraj and others to use Sanskrit, if they can learn English, Oh yes! English why can’t they learn Sanskrit?

Ask your premier candidate Narendra Modi to use Sanskrit; he frequently uses English, why? Ask Sushma Swaraj to use Sanskrit when she talks in Parliament. Ask Arun Jaitley to say at least something in Sanskrit instead of English. Ask Uma Bharti to talk in Sanskrit, ask Venkaiya Naidu to talk in Sanskrit than in English, ask Murli Manohar to use Sanskrit.

English is de facto the official language of India, and practically very convenient to use it in different parts of India for conversation which is otherwise quiet difficult. It was actually English which unified the conscience of North India to South India’s, West India’s to East India’s. If people follow your dictats they would lose even the sense of unity. None of Indian languages could do what English has done for Indian nationalism and sense of unity.

Rajnath Singh, I would like to ask you that what you think about English version of Constitution of Indian, whether it is harming Indian culture or strengthening Indian unity? Also, do you know how many of your party members have taken oaths in English? Can you comprehend what Constitution imply to mean when it talks about 'no discrimination on grounds of language'? India still remains backward much because people like you sit on chairs which need responsibility.

Rajnath Singh your double standard is your personal double standard or your party’s? Because your MPs try their best to impress others in Parliament by using English; forget Sanskrit they don’t even use Hindi. According to your ‘illogic’ Narendra Modi is harming Indian culture by conversing in English than in Sanskrit leave Hindi aside and he is your premier candidate? Senseless remarks might be shameless politics, divide and rule! But for your kind information India is a changed country now!

Saudi pride and American values

Those Conservative Muslims who support Saudi brand of puritan Islam accuse the West for its liberal values; these conservative Muslims take pride in their own value system which they claim are sourced from their deep respect for their culture and religious ethics. How much they talk about conservative values, their unchanged value system, taking conscience back to their literal masters and their era. Their Mufti, the jurists talks about puritan values which no doubt include sense of respect as well. Every now and then these jurist are seen issuing ordinances and seen frustrated and angered by alternative conscience which is not in coherence to their system. 

Let’s be judgmental! America the sole target of these puritans is not just a nation but a civilization of values. America, which takes prestige in New York’s skyline, knows this skyline is more a development than a prestige. Centre of American values are rather in Washington DC, the Capitol and other buildings. I am sure the Qibla (like Ka’ba for Muslims in Makka) of American values is the Capitol building.


On the other side of globe the Saudi seem to consider New York’s skyline to be solely prestige issue for Americans rather than centre of respect. Their conscience raises this question in their mind that if Americans can why can’t we also have a Skyline on par with New York’s, that too when we have so much oil and money to be spent on, no matter even if Muslims in Somalia and other countries are starving. Mufti, the jurists are not taken into consideration because this is not a matter of puritan religion but modernism, irony!

Coming back to the point, Qibla of American values the Capitol is among highest buildings in Washington DC, the Liberty’s statue on the dome of Capitol is set at top. Obviously, Capitol is not a skyscraper. What is the reason for a country which can have a skyline in New York, doesn’t have an equivalent in Washington DC? It is probably the American value system, the same value system which is criticized by conservative Muslims who love Saudi puritan spirit. America is a large country they can have many skylines in other places, Washington DC is not the only option. Moreover, since Capitol is Qibla for American culture, it should deserve respect, which other think don’t have in Americans. Thus as it seems, Washington DC is not a high rise city. For sure American policy makers feel sanctity in Washington DC and find themselves in coherence with conscience of their founding fathers; it is from that, that they derive political solace, which is sense of Liberty.





Saudi is not the official representative of Islam, nor does it represent all Muslims. Makka, is the sanctum for Muslims whether they associate themselves with Saudi or not. Makka, where Masjid Haram is located, houses Holy Ka’ba. Holy Ka’ba is Qibla for Muslim and has unparallel respect for it.

Holy Ka’ba deserves more respect by Muslims than the respect which Capitol deserves from Americans, because Islam is more than a nation. This is exactly what Saudi has destroyed. Saudi could have had skylines at other places, it was not a constrain to have it in Makka. Makka is a sanctum and not an arena to exhibit architectural marvels, that too which is set up on borrowed technology. Hajj convenience is gimmick to fool; Makkan suburb was well suited for such an issue..

Abraj Tower which was contructed on historical monument by demolishing the monument is insulting to the sanctity of Ka’ba. Abraj tower makes Holy Ka’ba to appear as worthless ruin in front of architectural marvel. As usual, hypocrite Muslims are more touched by the height of Abraj tower than the simplicity of Holy Ka’ba. These Hypocrite Muslims visit Makka more to gaze the new wonder of world as they call it than to perform pilgrimage. They are more interested in watching Ka’ba as tiny cube from windows of tower than to feel the power of Qibla (epicenter) of Muslims. The symbols of Allah as declared in Holy Qur’an, the Safa and the Marwa appear as tiny dots. What an achievement! Exclaim the tourist band of hypocrite Muslims. For them Hajj/ Umra are annual holidays, Makka is shopping destination better than Dubai, Singapore or Hong Kong, a place where they can shop and side by side have tag of pilgrimage as well. Why to please them?

Saudi wants to achieve technological advancement. It want to compete with Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan; its stupidity to compete with them because they have small areas whereas Saudi has a vast area. Saudi doesn't need high rise since they can spread horizontally also. Clock on tower would challenge Big Ben of London, might be this is what Saudi wanted to convey, then, no, definitely could never! Big Ben is symbol of Parliament (public participation) whereas Saudi is an autocratic kingdom. 



Saudi should recall the story of Abraha the person who made his own building and wanted that building to overshadow the value that Ka’ba enjoys. By making long tower in front of Ka’ba exactly within the vicinity of Ka’ba, what is Saudi trying to convey? Saudi should also recall the story of Namrud (Nimrod) who wanted to have his own high rising tower. Nothing is wrong in making high rise but to make it within vicinity of Ka’ba is something fishy. Now Mufti, the jurists don’t feel sin in these issues, they take stand against adopting western attitude in petty stuffs, but don’t feel need to overlook if imitating Abraha and Nimrod is correct or not. If locations are out of sanctums’ vicinity no one has any issue!

Saudi who demolished shrines of Baqi and Mu’alla cemetery can’t site reasons: now it built, so it could remain under so and so hadith and under interpretation of this and that mufti. The hypocrite Muslims who call themselves puritans and demonize the West while idolizing Saudi should learn the lessons of respect and values from Americans; compare Washington’s values in American minds with Makka’s value in Muslim minds than proceed for next level of architectural world.

Makka has value because of Holy Ka’ba, if Saudi keeps on the so called modernization in Makka, a day for sure will come when Saudi will make Holy Ka’ba deeply hidden under cover of forest of towers.






Makka is not an arena to exhibit architectural marvels, shopping malls, seven star hotels, it is a place where even a king has to give up fine robes and adorn two un-stitched, un-sewn white sheets for pilgrimage and present one’s self to God Almighty. Make architectural marvels, shopping and holiday destination elsewhere, Saudi is a big country, leave Makka as pilgrimage site. Just one message: Labbaek Allahumma Labbaek/ Oh God! I present myself to Thee.
