In last few years we have seen a large number of cases of suicide by homo-sexual pairs, who were compelled to seek solace in the lap of death due to mental and physical torture inflicted upon them by the self imposed moral police of the society and their respective families. Even the Indian Penal Code contains a law under section 377 which condemns all sexual relationship against the “nature of the Law” ,punishes the convicted up to life imprisonment, imposed in 1860 by the British empire. In the last 149 there has been a mammoth change in the socio-economical and political scenario, but the draconian law continued to undermine the basic values of a free, democratic country who boast herself of unmatched inclusiveness of all minorities. We have reservation for schedule casts and tribe, we have laws for empowerment of minorities and votes are corralled on these very issues but on the contrary we are shamelessly oblivious to the rights and ethos of the sexual-minorities like gays, lesbians and others.
The historical judgment against section 377, once again bolstered our belief in the fairness and inclusiveness of our great nation. As expected there has been a fussilade of attacks from the orthodox Muslim-clergy, Catholic church, Hindu Mahasabha ( At least they are united for once even though to oppose a right cause!) on this judgment but on the other hand there has been a huge sigh of relief and euphoria in the homo-sexual community as this judgment can usher a new India devoid of persecution to the sexual-minorities. It is the triumph of justice fairness and equality and as remarkable as the eradication of evil social customs like “SATI”.
Homo-sexuality has long been considered as an anathema in the society, a subject of ridicule (Ask Karan Johar what is his biggest achievement in Hindi cinema, the answer will be invariably Kanta Bhen) and society has always vehemently rejected these so called disgusting phenomena. Isn’t it a travesty of justice and scathing attack on human right? The moral police should be kept out your bedroom and in a just liberal society people should choose their government, religion and as well as the person whom to love.

Lalgarh: how much blood-bath is sufficient to quench the thirst?
I am from a small town named Medinipur- the district headquarter of former undivided Medinipur District( Now West Medinipur). Largarh is about 20 kilometers from my town and I am fortunate to know a handful of wonderful people from this place. The name originated due to the red color of the laterite soil of this part of the land. There is some kind of correlation between the populace and the soil- and it is hardly surprising that austere condition have inculcated immense strength and innocence in the people here. Their honesty, innocence, moral values in spite of their impoverished condition and lack of education is exemplary. I am deeply anguished due to the recent development in this part.
Lalgarh as the name suggest have been a red fortress for last 30 years. When the power is accumulated in the hands of chosen few, universally they tend to misuse it and this univesal moral turpitude of human race gave rise to Redocracy ( Government By REDS) in Lalgarh. Party interfered with the every aspect of human life, be it domestic quarrels, land dispute or local religious conglomeration. And soon nepotism, fidelity to party replaced morality and fairness in judgments but people were compelled to abide by their mandates. The oppositions were tortured, fined, vituperated, framed and put to humiliation. Party cadres established a Stalinist regime in the village, people were deprived of the voting right to their candidates, and government aids were devoured by the party cadres. In the name of “Marxist Camp” or Communism Work shop they collected money from the villagers to host feast for the cadres. Local jobs were awarded only to those candidates, who are not only loyal to party but also rich enough to grease the palm of the party cadres. As a result same saga of have and have nots was repeated. Red cadres with their inflated bank balance, picturesque residence were alienated from the people. People ventilated their grievance, by vandalizing cadre’s private property, by brutal murders.
Police system is corrupted to the roots and they have been instrumental in their pursuit to oppress these helpless people in the name of peace-keeping. Most of the times vested interest of the Party Big Brother or lucid cash drive their agenda.
The Maoist discovered a fecund ground for propaganda of their utopian ideology. According to the common wisdom and worst kept top secret, this very Maoist were paid by ruling party to unleash attack against then Trinomool-BJP alliance. Like Frankenstein, the Maoist menace backfired to the ruling party and the main opposition party should also be blamed for their tacit support to this outlaws.
But end of the day the sufferers are the commoners. Common aboriginal people especially women and children will be used as human shield. Police will arrest some innocent people to cover their inefficiency. By any means a huge loss will be incurred in terms of loss of lives of commoners,the impoverished proletariats.
Being a non-colored (not red not green ) , non-intellectual, non-cpm, non-maoist, non-tmc i.e in a way being a lesser mortal deviod of the knowledge of political jaragons , I am concerned only with the lives of these human beings who are truly innocent and being used by the evil forces ( be it Maoist or RED PARTY) to safeguard their vested interest.
The WB government is yet to ban the Maoist!!! They want to fight it “politically and administratively”! As we all know Maoist are against state law democracy and in a way detrimental to the democratic structure of this country. They are awfully ignorant of Mao’s socio-economic policies, distribution of land and other positive virtues and on the contrary still preach the adage of Chairman Mao: Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Mao’s Cultural Revolution caused a holocaust comparable to the one unleashed by Hitler on the Jews. But they had a tinge of red and our beloved communists’ shares the brazen history of supporting chairman during Indo-China war! West Bengal is bleeding, common men shading their blood; Comrades wake up; Come out of the chain of orthodoxy, ban these blood thirsty thugs who are nothing but hired-killers.

Secularism in India
The preamble known to be the basic structure and spirit of Indian constitution recognizes our country as Secular. Our elections are fought vigorously on this very issue. Secularity necessarily means separation of state and religion. BJP is grossly considered as saffron brigade due to their root and later the barbaric act of demolition of Babri Masjidh. Rightly so. The pogrom against Muslims in Gujrat has left a deep scar on the spirit of secularity in India.
Congress project themselves as the greatest proponent of secularism. Back in 1984 after the tragic assassination of Mrs. Indira Gandhi , the nation has experience brutal carnage of Sikh and Rajiv Gandhi defended the atrocity with brazen shamelessness saying : “ The Erath shakes when a big tree( Indira Gandhi) falls”. It was intriguing why the earth shaken only under the Sikhs?
In Hyderabad, one of the trusted allies to congress is a political party whose agenda still remains as to safeguard the interest and to empower the minorities and specially one particular community, instead of holistic growth. These barbaric hooligans vandalized the inauguration of Talslima Nasreen’s new Telugu translation “Shodh”. This is a kind of quintessential secularity!
Now let us concentrate on the sanctimonious Lefts, renowned for their “liberal” and “holier than thou attitude”. Communism necessarily means secularism. Indian left parties has already gone through the trauma of supporting “Bourgeois “America-Dependent” congress government for the sake of preventing communal forces ascending to power. But they embrace Madani, who was convicted and imprisoned (also lost one of his leg) for spreading communal hatred and the Bomb blast. The soldiers of secularity like Paswan pleads for a Muslim President! Though there is a thick line of difference between secularity and minority appeasement the so called secular parties are caught on the later half.
True secularism is an utopia in India. We fight between different religions, betweens different sects of same religion, even between sub sects of same sect. Democracy also emerges as the breeding ground of fanaticism. The other Gandhi (Varun) wins election after spewing venom on minorities and avowing to behead the enemies of the Hindus. Actually mutual hatred prepares fecund ground to sow a seed of mistrust, which grows up as a tree and facilitate the divisive power.
Also I think we need some changes in our sacred constitution which allows different laws for people belonging to different religions which violates the very primary motto of equality. State cannot or should not provide subsidy for “HAJ” or “Amarnath Yatra” or to say any religious activity!
Am I selling mirror in the land of the blinds? To the masses blinded due to orthodoxy, fanaticism, superstition and selfishness , To the assassins of Mahatma , or to the dutiful citizens and the lawmaker of one of the secular democracies.

The great Indian Sleep: holding the country together!
Let me analyze the Human development scenario. HDI is calculated based on three main criteria: Life expectancy, education, literacy and standard of living.
Let us concentrate on Life expectancy. With female foetiicide rate among the highest and soaring child mortality rate , we are 145th country in the world. We are familiar with the heart wrenching incidents of new born babies been carried away by dogs. “It happens only in
We have fabricated a picture of shining
One third of hungry, impoverished people live in
This Rs 40,000 is sum of their 5 years income! Can you smell a revelution? Mao Ze Dong, Lenin, French revolution? Relax man! The mass is under spell of cast,creed, politics, religion, ethnicity, Mayabati, Lalu, and above all Dhoni and Sharukh khan!

Tiananmen Square:- Where is the Tank Man
Two decades has been passed after the carnage in Tiananmen Square. The BIGBROTHER of china has incessantly purged the traces of protest. Though the history has been erased frantically again and again still there is a faint impression found in the psyche of the people, world media and in the video footage of the TANK MAN. You can sensor the media, you can conjure up brand new history , you can repudiate it at the din of your voice, but more you try to annihilate the truth the more it is transpired.
Today Chinese follow more or less free market : anathema of communism. The divide between the have and have nots are even more promiscuous. Bourgeois (they have taken a new avatar of Billionaires and Politburo members) swamp the social and political arena. Peasants (The soldiers of Mao Ze Dong ) has become wedged labors. The capitalist America , the preacher of free trade is looking up to china to get out of the worst mess since 1930’s great depression.
But the more liberated the market has became; more the Chinese people have been deprived of freedom of speech, freedom of idea. Twenty years after the incident the proletariat class has been subjugated to promote the interest of handful of politburo members. Where is the TANK MAN! The need of the hour is the dazzling soul of the tank man who can stare up to the evil Chinese dragon of state sponsored oppression.
Imagine the scene that occurred 2 decades back. A fleet of aggressive tank was marching on the street. A commoner – an incarnation of courage, stood in the way of the approaching tanks. He refused to give way instead asked “Why you are killing us without any reason? “ The man was arrested by the police. No one knows what kind of punishment was inflicted upon him for asking this simple question. In all possibility he has been purged, annihilated. But the good sense still prevails! he has become the voice of protest against the dictatorship. CIA executed Che but created the legend out of him. Similarly Tank Man – the legend, can reincarnate inside Chinese student and can topple the blood thirsty, oxymoron, double slandered Chinese Fascism (not communism) .
