I was in Geological Survey of India in the Indian Museum campus in Kolkata, addressing the SC, ST, OBC and minority association as they were Celebrating Belated Ambedkar Jayanti in the Ambedkar Centenary hall.
I had to deliver the Centenary speech.
I dealt with CURRENT political, Economic and social scenario to discuss Ambedkar Ideolgy and his Role as a national leader who not only ensured maximum safeguards for all the Black Untouchables even after Partition Holocaust and POONA Pact, but he, as an ECONOMIST unravelled the Problem of Rupee, analysed the Social and demographic pattern in south Asia under Manusmriti Role, theorised Revenue and Human resource management, ensured Job security framing labour laws in colonial India and MOBILISED our people in a National Movement for Ultimate liberation.
He advocated ANNIHILITION of caste to establish Casteless Classless Society based on Equality, Fraternity and Justice but failed to amend the HINDU society and thus left Hindutva and converted in Buddhism! He established Trade Union Rights and advocated FREE Education for Children until age 14th.
He drafted HINDU Code Bill to EMPOWER Shudra Woman and liberate them of Manusmriti bondage. As Congress refused to pass it , he had to resign from the Nehru cabinet.
He also Identified the DYNAMICS of SHUDRA and GENETICALLY proved that the Nags and the DRAVID, the North Indian and the South Indian Black Untouchable is the Same RACE!
He created the ground of OBC reservation.
Ambedkar was ACADEMICALLY very sound and no body could replicate him neither we could HOLD ON his legacy of social Movement and fed with RESERVATION forgot to pay back to the society and ENGAGED ourselves in the POWER Play to displace and destroy our own People!
I was fortunate that the Audience was Patient enough to hear some very Aggressive comments as I had to analyse the BRAHAMINICAL Mindset and OPPORTUNIST Character of our people.
Since EMINENT Geologist KS VALDIA had been our teacher in DSB College and we had to deal the HIMALYAN landscape and natural Resources and Nature associated People countrywide as an ECO Activist, it was a RARE Opportunity to interact GEOLOGISTS of national status.
It consumed all the day. Since it had been already scheduled I had to skip the SENSEX DRAMA on the FIRST day of TRADING after the so called HISTORICAL Mandate for shining Nuclear Super power Stable Plural Hindu India!
I landed at home almost 5.00 PM past and my son STEVE informed me what went on all the day along!
I was not surprised at all!
Alex Perry in his book` Globalisation, World Peace and other Lies’ has EXPOSED the OUT DOOR Shooting of Indian Reality very well.
It is CUT and Paste FEEL GOOD imported from developed Landscape to Brain Wash and Control the Mind and heart of Indian SLUM DOG Have Nots starving who VOTED Overwhelmingly for the Continuity of Economic Reforms and Sovereign Market to FEED the KILLER Money Machine with Human BLOOD and MEAT.
The MAN EATERS Roam with FREE Hand and OPEN Mouth Now facing NO Resistance whatsoever.
The Marxists betrayed the PROLETARIAT so DEEP that Survival is almost Impossible!
Alex Perry has Opined that the MEDIA reflects only the Market! But the fact remains that an AVERAGE Chinese would take FIFTY years to touch the living standard of an AMERICAN, while and AMERICANISED Indian Poor would take HUNDRED years provided the CURRENT Growth rate Continues!
I am afraid that No Nature or Nature associated People, the Indigenous Aboriginal Minority communities , the Black Untouchables would SURVIVE to see Nuclear Hindu Super Power India Emerging for which an UNDECLARED UPA NDA LEFT Combined Coalition has ABDICATED Indian Constitution, Freedom and Sovereignty to HIT The UPPER CIRCUIT!
Trading at the Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange was initially halted for two hours as the stock tracker indices -- BSE's Sensex and NSE's Nifty -- hit the upper circuit within a minute of the opening of the trade. After the markets re-opened at 1155 hours, the Nifty surged again hitting the 20 per cent upper circuit leading to suspension of trading at the two bourses for the day. Meanwhile, LTTE chief Prabhakaran's death, bringing down the curtains on his 25-year-old armed struggle for a separate Tamil state, sparked off celebrations in the island nation on Monday.

may attract retail investors to cash in on the bullish phase, analysts said.
Major market players were of the opinion that today's rally of nearly 20 per cent suggests the market might gather momentum in coming sessions amid picking up of capital inflows by foreign funds, and any support from retail investors would place the key-index beyond 15,000 points levels soon.
"Market may see small movement of 500-700 points. It may witness 15,000 mark in intraday trade at which point it may see sell-off," Keynote Research Senior Vice President Nitin A Khandkar said.
After a sea-change in the market scenario, speculators would also run to cover up their pending short positions on fears of further upsurge in the share prices.
"Investors who could not take part in the rally today may try to reap gains tomorrow," a NSE broker Rajeev Mallik said adding there were chances of the market hitting a 10 per cent upper circuit in early trade tomorrow. And if this happens, the barometer would be at around 15,500 points without taking much time, he said.
Amid indications that they will be kept out of the new government, RJD and Samajwadi Party on Monday complained of humiliation by Congress leaders but said they would continue to support the UPA.Stung by comments of certain Congress leaders, RJD chief Lalu Prasad on Monday protested at the Cabinet meeting, saying he felt humiliated by the "derogatory" remarks.
On the other hand, Keeping a studied silence after media reports spoke of his offer to step down in the wake of the Left Front's poll debacle, West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee on Monday met CPI(M) patriarch Jyoti Basu at his residence in Kolkata. All Kolkata dailies made SCREAMING Headlines speculating RIFT in CPIM and BUDDHA`s Resignation as Bengali Brahmin Marxists are quite RELUCTANT to give up Brahaminical Marxist Bangla Nationality justifying Regemented Gestapo and GENOCIDE Culture enjoying support from PRANAB and ADWANI. They just want PRAKASH karat`s head should ROLL ON DUST as he ended the HONEY MOON Couplation of Indian Communists and Marxists since 1969 onwards thanks to DANGE, Jyoti Basu and Surajeet. Marxists NEVER feel GUILTY of their FAULT so far and evaluate the DEFEAT as the MISTAKE to OPPOSE the Indo US NUKE Deal and withdrawl of SUPPORT from UPA which created SPACE for CONG TMC Alignment which EVENTUALLY destroyed the Ruling Marxists in Bengal!
Marxists won`t accept that the Caste Hindu MINDset swung in favour of CONG to DEFEAT the Projected Third Front Prime Minister Mayawati as they opposed the idea from the beginning!
Meanwhile, Meeting in the wake of its worst poll showing, the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) Monday ruled out the stepping down of party
general secretary Prakash Karat over the issue and said no individual could be held responsible for the debacle in the Lok Sabha elections
.
"Why should he resign?" responded CPI-M politburo member Nirupam Sen to a question by reoprters, as he emerged from a meeting of the party's politburo here, which continued for well over eight hours. Another leader Biman Bose said an individual could not be blamed for the drubbing.
However, Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee, who was expelled from the party after he refused to step down as Speaker when the Left front withdrew support to the government during the July 22 trust vote over the India-US nuclear deal last year, said the leadership must own up the defeat and quit.
"My view is that the leadership has to take responsibility for the disaster. Prakash Karat is holding the topmost post. The needle of responsibility obviously is pointed at him. And I have already said the leadership should consider quitting if its conscience permits," said the veteran leader in a signed article in Bengali daily Ananda Bazaar Patrika.
Nirupam Sen said there was no question of either him or West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee quitting over the election results, which have relegated the party to the eighth position from being the third largest in the outgoing Lok Sabha.
West Bengal CPI-M secretary and politburo member Biman Bose defended Karat and Bhattacharjee, stating: "No individual is responsible for the party's defeat."
"We could not campaign properly in West Bengal. We will have detailed discussions to search the reasons (for the defeat) at a meeting on May 24," Bose told reporters.
Kerala Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan, responding to questions, said all issues, including the controversy over party leader Pinarayi Vijayan's alleged involvement in the SMC Lavalin scam and the party's joining hands with the allegedly fundamentalist People's Democratic Party in Kerala, would be discussed at the May 24 meeting.
Achuthanandan was at loggerheads with Karat over the latter's backing for Vijayan, who as electricity minister had allegedly wrongly awarded contracts for purchase of equipment to Canadian company SMC Lavalin. The chief minister wanted to initiate action against him but Karat defended Vijayan saying he was framed.
Huge electoral setbacks in the CPI-M bastions of West Bengal and Kerala have left the party with a mere 16 seats, down from the 43 it won in 2004. The four-party Left grouping has been reduced to 24 from 60 - its worst poll showing in three decades.
The CPI-M finished with three seats less than the Trinamool Congress, its archrival in West Bengal, in the 2009 polls.
Earlier, Nirupam Sen denied that the party's reverses were because of the West Bengal government's industrial policies and said the "election was fought on national issues and not on state issues".
"We will continue with our policies," said Sen, who is the state industries minister.
Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee is likely to step down latest by August. CPM’s core insiders are trying their level best to hold him back till then. Information suggests that Buddhadeb is so "extremely upset emotionally with the party’s performance in the state" that he is convinced that the party needs a new leader now. Economic Times reports.
The mental shock of the party’s terrible performance in the Lok Sabha elections is believed to have also had its impact on Buddhadeb’s health. On Monday, he had complained of some physical discomfort. The house of CPM is in total disarray and nobody is quite sure of how things will turn out from here on. If Buddhadeb steps down, as many within the party consider is a certainty, it is most likely that industry minister Nirupam Sen will be asked to take up the mantle.
Sen, who manages Burdwan district in one of his roles as a key party functionary, has been one of the very few in the present crop of leaders who has been able to retain all three Lok Sabha seats in the district. Besides, as Buddhadeb’s second-in-command and a politburo member, Sen has also been intricately involved in the industrialisation efforts of the CPM government.
Alimuddin Street insiders on Monday told ET that the chief minister was "shell-shocked". An extremely emotional person by nature, Buddhadeb had offered to resign also after the Nandigram incident. Even earlier, after a difference of opinion with Jyoti Basu the then chief minister, he had actually resigned on August 27, 1993 and the party had to persuade him to stay back.
After the Lok Sabha debacle, Buddhadeb is understood to have become so enormously upset, that he is believed to have told his inner circle that he would like to step out of the politburo as well. Interestingly, the chief minister has not attended Monday’s politburo meeting in Delhi.
Though Bhattacharjee skipped the politburo meeting on Monday, he met veteran Marxist Jyoti Basu at his Salt Lake reasidence and held a closed door meeting with the former chief minister for more than half an hour. Though it is not learnt what Bhattacharjee has told Basu and what Basu’s suggestion to the chief minister was, it is certain that the two leaders have discussed the party’s performance in the current Lok Sabha elections.
But Bhattacharjee’s meeting with Basu has created a ripple in the political circles, specially after the chief minister’s decision of not attending the politburo meeting in Delhi. However, it is learnt that this was Buddhadeb’s second meeting with the 95-year old Jyoti Basu after the poll results came out.
A visibly upset Buddhadeb, however, attended office at Writers’ Budildings during the day, but avoided the media, which was very keen to know about his plans.

It is claimed that Market regulator SEBI is keeping a close watch on the movements in the stock prices at the BSE and NSE, which hit the upper circuit halting the trade for the day.
"It was expected that markets will do well and that is what we saw in the morning. SEBI is keeping a watch on the situation we will see how it plays out tomorrow," Finance Secretary Ashok Chawla told reporters here.
Meanwhile,the body of the leader of Sri Lanka’s Tamil Tiger rebels, Velupillai Prabhakaran, is to undergo DNA and forensic tests along with the corpses of other top rebels, officials said today.
Prabhakaran was killed this morning along with two of his deputies after a two-hour firefight when they tried to break to freedom through advancing government troops, defence officials said. His body was badly burnt when his armour-plated van was hit by a rocket and burst into flames. State television broke into its regular programming to announce Prabhakaran’s death, and the government information department sent a text message to cell phones across the country confirming that he was dead.
The announcement prompted mass celebrations around the country, and people poured into the streets of Colombo dancing and singing.
Sri Lanka declared Monday it had crushed the Tamil Tiger rebels, killing their chief, Velupillai Prabhakaran, and ending his three-decade quest for an independent homeland for minority Tamils.State television broke into its regular programming to announce Prabhakaran's death, and the government information department sent a text message to cell phones across the country confirming he was killed along with top deputies, Soosai and Pottu Amman.
The announcement sparked mass celebrations around the country, and people poured into the streets of Colombo dancing and singing.
Prabhakaran's death has been seen as crucial to bringing closure to this war-wracked Indian Ocean island nation. If he had escaped, he could have used his large international smuggling network and the support of Tamil expatriates to spark a new round of guerrilla warfare here. His death in battle could still turn him into a martyr for other Tamil separatists.
While Velupillai Prabhakaran (Ve-LU'-pi-lay PRAH'-bah-ka-ran) was a hero to some, his group was branded a terrorist organization by the U.S. and European Union, and it was accused of waging hundreds of suicide attacks, including the 1991 assassination of former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi by a female bomber. The rebels also forcibly recruited child soldiers.
Sri Lanka's army chief, Lt. Gen. Sareth Fonseka, said on television that his troops routed the last rebels from the northern war zone Monday morning.
On the other hand, European foreign ministers were locked in discussion about new sanctions against Burma this afternoon as the country's democracy leader, Aung San Suu Kyi went on trial in Rangoon for allowing an eccentric American to stay in her house.
The National Stock Exchange on Monday said it has kept its circuit filters unchanged and trading will come to a halt if benchmark index Nifty rises or falls by 300 points in a day.
"The existing policy will continue to govern trading on the exchanges. Accordingly, the first level of the circuit breaker at 10 per cent will be triggered at 300 points for Nifty and 975 for Sensex over the respective closing level of the indices today," the NSE said in a statement.
The announcement by NSE came in after the market authorities had to halt the trading -- initially for two hours and later for the entire day -- as the rules do not permit the trade to continue if a single-day gain exceed 20 per cent in either of the two benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty.
The 50-share Nifty on Monday soared 531.65 points in the opening trade which led to the regulators closing the equity and equity derivatives market closed for two hours. Following opening, Nifty further went up 651.50 points to 4,323.15, which triggered a halt for the day.
This circuit breaker brings about a coordinated trading halt in all equity and equity derivative markets nationwide and are triggered by movement of either Sensex or Nifty, whichever is breached earlier.
Also the Sensex today soared by 2,111 points to close at 14,284.21 points. It had surged 1,760 points at 13,963, hitting the upper circuit following which trading was halted for two hours. After the trading was resumed, the Sensex soared 806 points at 14,284.21 triggering a halt for the day.
On March 31, 2008, the last trading day of the quarter, Sensex closed at 9,708.50 points. The absolute points of Sensex variation which would trigger market wide circuit breaker for any day in the quarter between April 1 and June 30 would be 975 points for first 10 per cent trigger point, 1,450 points for the second 15 per cent trigger point and 1,950 points for the final 20 per cent trigger.
Similarly for the Nifty, the three trigger points in the current quarter would be 300 points, 440 points and 600 points -- based on a closing level of 3,020.95 points on March 31.
In case of a 10 per cent movement of either of these indices, there would be a one hour market halt if the movement takes place before 1 pm.
In case of a 15 per cent movement of either index, there will be a two hour market halt if the movement takes place before 1 pm. If the 15 per cent trigger is reached on or after 1 pm but before 2 pm, there will be a one hour halt. If the 15 per cent trigger is reached on or after 2 pm the trading will halt for the remainder of the day.
In case of a 20 per cent movement of the index, the trading will be halted for the remainder of the day.
Buddhadeb calls on Basu
Kolkata (PTI) Keeping a studied silence after media reports spoke of his offer to step down in the wake of the Left Front's poll debacle, West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee on Monday met CPI(M) patriarch Jyoti Basu at his residence here on Monday afternoon.
The visit assumed significance in the backdrop of the severe drubbing CPI(M) and other Left parties received in Lok Sabha elections and reports that he had offered to resign owning moral responsibility for the alliance's poor performance.
The chief minister, who skipped the crucial CPI(M) Polit Bureau meeting in Delhi on Monday, was closetted with the 95-year-old leader for 30 minutes at Mr. Basu's Salt Lake residence.
Although there was no official word on what transpired during the talks between the two leaders, mr. Bhattacharjee was believed to have discussed with the former chief minister the party's worst-ever electoral performance - two years ahead of the state assembly poll.
For the record, Mr. Basu's close aide Joykrishna Ghosh told PTI that the chief minister had enquired about Mr. Basu's health but "nothing more can be said about what they discussed".

Investor wealth swells by Rs 6.5 lakh crore in a minute
Mumbai (PTI): Investors have become richer by a whopping Rs 6.5 lakh crore in just a minute as the Bombay Stock Exchange Sensex saw a historic 2,111 point rise to the 14,000 level as the markets cheered the decisive win of the ruling UPA government in the Lok Sabha elections.
Investor wealth, measured in terms of the combined market capitalisation of all the listed companies, increased by over Rs 6,56,477 crore in a minute -- in the first 30 seconds and then after the resumption of trading at 1155 hours -- to Rs 44,63,420.97 crore.
The 30-share Bombay Stock Exchange Sensex zoomed 1,305.97 points at 13,479.39, hitting the upper circuit within seconds of opening of trade, following which trading was halted for two hours. After trading resumed the Sensex soared 806 points at 14,284.21, following which trading was halted for the day.
Further, the 30 Sensex companies, which account for over 47 per cent of the total market capitalisation of all the firms, saw their combined market valuation rise by over Rs 3.16 lakh crore on Monday.
The combined market capitalisation of the 30 blue-chip stocks rose to Rs 21,53,590.09 crore today, from Rs 18,36,841.33 crore at the end of trade on Friday.
Reliance Industries was the major contributor to Monday's increase in market capitalisation for regaining the 14,000 level along with other heavy-weight stocks like BHEL and Bharti Airtel.
Best ever post-election rally for Dalal Street!
Mumbai (PTI): Dalal Street witnessed its best-ever post-election rally in history on Monday with the benchmark index jumping over 2,110 points or 17 per cent on the first trading day after the announcement of the Lok Sabha election results.
The benchmark index Sensex surged a whopping 2,110.79 points and Nifty advanced 651 points immediately after trading resumed following its suspension for two hours, leading to a halt in buying and selling for the day on the country's two premier bourses.
The general elections gave a decisive mandate to the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance, fuelling hopes of a stable government and that reforms may take place with ease.
Marketmen said the surge in the stock markets was expected as the new government would come to power without the support of the Left Parties, easing the process of reforms.
In the general elections in May 2004, the market did not expect the defeat of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance and the Congress-led coalition had to take the support of the Left parties to form the government.
The election results were announced during the trading hours on May 13 and the Sensex had ended up 0.8 per cent after highly volatile trade, but lost 6.1 per cent the next day.
In the following trading session on May 17, the index plunged as much as 11.1 per cent, its biggest drop in 12 years, on fears of a Left-backed government.
Stability, a key factor for spin on Dalal Street, say brokers
The frenzied spin on Dalal Street on Monday, led by investors high on UPA's win in India's just- concluded general elections, has a lot to do with the emergence of a stable government with younger MPs, several brokers and market bigwigs opined.
Creating history, the Bombay Stock Exchange's benchmark index, the 30-share Sensex, rallied from 12,000 to 14,000 level with a jump of 1,305 points in 30 seconds in opening trade.
It gained another 806 points gain in another 30 seconds after markets resumed trading, triggering the final circuit filter for the day.
"Today's jump is very surprising. Stability was an important over-riding factor, which pushed up the indexes so fast and steeply," Angel Broking's Head of Research, Hitesh Agrawal, told PTI here.
"It is a reaction well-deserved, given the emergence of 'the Rahul factor' and his young team that might form the Cabinet," First Global's Vice Chairman and Joint Managing Director, Shankar Sharma, said.
Investor wealth soared by a whopping Rs four lakh crore within seconds of opening trade on the BSE.
Brokers, however, said that it is anybody's guess whether the index would hit yet another circuit limit or register profit-booking in tomorrow's trade.
"Everyone has been surprised by this rally. I'm still trying to figure out what could be in store tomorrow," legendary investor, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala said.
Terming Monday's bull run as an "over-reaction", Deena Mehta, Managing Director, Asit C Mehta Investment Intermediary said the markets will correct in the short to medium term.
"In India, we always over-react. Today's rally is just an over-reaction. It is anybody's guess if there would be profit-booking tomorrow or by how much the indexes would gain.
In the short term, an investor should go in for profit- booking," Mehta said.
Agrawal said that is highly unlikely that the markets would correct tomorrow. "There may be a lot of pent-up demand for stocks showing up and the markets may behave with a positive bias," he added.
The emergence of a stable Government could signal the start of a higher growth trajectory for India, Agrawal said, adding that India might be able to decouple to some extent from the global economic downturn.
"It is going to help push a lot of reforms, which have been held up due to political differences," Agrawal said.
"tomorrow's trading may lead to some kind of a price-discovery for investors," Mehta said.
"We are still not into over-valuations. This is a time when one can accumulate stocks. There will be ample opportunities to gain from these later," he added.
Markets sing Jai Ho!
Uphill task for Govt. as economy faces new challenges
Worries on inflation rearing its head again, limited headroom for fresh fiscal stimulus and the upheaval in global financial scenario face the new Manmohan Singh government even though the stock markets are on a roll.
It is not going to be a smooth sail all the way through 2009-10 despite some of the forecasters, like the Citibank, slightly improving their growth bias to 5.5 per cent. The bet is on investment-led expansion and not consumption driven demand.
As the global financial crisis started hitting Indian shores after September 2008, the government in concert with the Reserve Bank, gave three stimulus packages but that meant ballooning of the fiscal deficit.
Against 2.5 per cent provided in the Budget for 2008-09, the previous year ended with fiscal gap of six per cent of the country's GDP. The interim Budget for 2009-10 provided for 5.5 per cent fiscal deficit.
"Fiscal deficit will remain a stress point," the 'Citi View' said.
Echoing the view Moody's said, "Returning to the path of fiscal consolidation will also be challenging if the global recession becomes protracted...," the rating firm Moody's said.
As the credit growth recover next year, excess liquidity could fuel inflation again. "Our inflation model suggests that WPI inflation could rise to 6.5-7 per cent by 2H 2010," financial services firm Nomura said.
Opinion and exit polls manipulated: EC
After successfully conducting the Lok Sabha polls, the Election Commission says opinion and exit polls are "manipulated" and should not be permitted.
"We believe that exit polls and opinion polls are manipulated. They do influence free and fair polls and every political party opposed it," Election Commissioner S Y Quraishi told Karan Thapar on CNBC's 'India Tonight' programme.
He, however, said the issue is before the Supreme Court.
Rejecting charges that clubbing all naxal-hit ares together for polling led to several killings, Mr. Quraishi said it was a "master stroke" to conduct the election together in those areas.
"Bunching the elections together in naxal-affected areas was no mistake. That scheduling was a master stroke," he said, adding the Commission felt after consultations with the Home Ministry and others that "if the elections are done together in 17 naxal-affected states together it will give us an advantage."
He said the Commission could adopt the "same scheduling" in holding elections in those areas in future as well.
FDI irritants may go; but no change in retail for now: Nath
The new UPA Government will be ready to remove procedural bottlenecks for foreign investors but allowing FDI in multi-brand retail will not be on the immediate agenda, Commerce and Industry Minister Kamal Nath said on Monday.
"We are going to see if there are any irritants in the way ... We have got to make India a very attractive destination for investment," Mr. Nath said in an interview with CNBC-TV 18.
He said FDI inflow to India has "not dried up ... but (getting it) has become competitive".
FDI inflows dropped in February to USD 1.4 billion, almost one-fourth of the inflows witnessed in the same period a year ago, under the impact of the global credit crunch. In February 2008, foreign investment was USD 5.67 billion.
When asked whether FDI could finally be allowed in the multi-brand retail sector, Mr. Nath said, "Not for the time being ... We have done some studies, which need much more work."
Independent think-tank ICRIER had conducted a government-sponsored study on the impact of FDI in retail on neighbourhood kirana shops last year. It had said that the big stores as also mom-and-pop shops can co-exist.
Reviving FDI inflows will be a key challenge for the new government. Changes in FDI policy, announced in February, have created a lot of confusion among both domestic and foreign investors.
20 PSU banks fail to meet farm sector lending target
As many as 20 public sector banks, including big ones like Canara Bank, Bank of Baroda and Union Bank, have failed to achieve the annual farm sector lending target till November, 2009.
Only seven out 27 state-owned banks could achieve the stipulated target of disbursing 18 per cent of the net bank credit to the agriculture sector as on November last year, sources said.
The performance of the private sector banks on this count was worse as only two lenders out of 26 had done lending more than 18 per cent to the farm sector, sources added.
Besides Canara, Bank of Baroda and Union Bank, the others which missed the target till November include Corporation Bank, Oriental Bank of Commerce, Punjab & Sind Bank, Syndicate Bank and United Bank of India.
Among those which achieved the mandated level are Punjab National Bank, Allahabad Bank, Andhra Bank, Bank of India, Indian Bank, Indian Overseas Bank and State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur.
Reserve Bank has mandated banks (both in public and private sector) to provide 18 per cent of Adjusted Net Bank Credit to agriculture sector, of which 13.5 per cent is to be disbursed as direct credit and 4.5 per cent towards indirect credit to agriculture.
300 crorepatis in Lok Sabha, but also 300 with liabilities
Politicians have grown deep pockets, but money flow is not a one-way street even in the politics.
While as many as 300 crorepatis have made their way to Lok Sabha, as many MPs are also burdened with financial liabilities, mostly loans. MPs with liabilities exceeding Rs one crore number 24, just eight per cent of total crorepatis in terms of assets.
Congress' L Rajagopal from Andhra Pradesh owes the most - Rs 8 crore. His compatriot Nama Nageswara Rao is the richest with assets worth as much as Rs 173.75 crore.
Barring six, the assets are well in excess of liabilities for the MPs elected in the general elections. The total liabilities of all the MPs together are little over Rs 100 crore, as against a combined asset size of over Rs 3,000 crore.
As per the records available with Election Commission, the liabilities run into crores of rupees for many MPs, while nearly half of the total strength of the Lok Sabha has at least Rs one lakh worth of liabilities.
In all, an estimated 300 MPs in the 15th Lok Sabha have some financial liabilities to their names. Interestingly, a similar number of 300 MPs have at least Rs 1 crore worth assets.

Pakistani villagers count the cost of army offensive
(Greg Baker/AP)
A child beside at a refugee camp near Islamabad
Zahid Hussain in Ambela
The deserted road through Ambela was littered with burnt vehicles, spent artillery rounds and broken electricity pylons. Many of the houses were damaged by shelling and riddled with bullet marks.
On the corner of the main street, Amir Basha examined his smashed grocery shop and contemplated the mounting cost of the Pakistani Army’s assault on the Taleban in the Swat Valley and neighbouring Buner.
He fled the fighting with his family three weeks ago, taking refuge in the northwestern city of Peshawar, but came back yesterday to inspect the damage during a brief lull in a curfew imposed by the army. “I don’t think my family can return home soon,” he muttered, shaking his head in despair.
Ambela, a small town of about 10,000 inhabitants, used to be a peaceful place but now it is on the front line of what the Government says is a battle for the survival of Pakistan.

Pictures: Pakistan refugees
The troops have pushed the militants out of the town after fierce fighting that also forced almost the entire population to flee. The rebels, however, still lurk in the mountains not far from the town. “We fear that they may come back after the troops are withdrawn,” said Mr Basha.
A few families have started trickling back since security forces relaxed the curfew restrictions to allow farmers to harvest their wheat crop. “This is the only source of living for me and for my family,” said Rehman Gul, 50, working in his small field.
Most of the crop will go to waste as most farmers, still afraid, are holding back from coming home. According to officials more than half of Buner’s 700,000 population have fled the region to take refuge on the lowland.
They have joined another million refugees from Swat and other battle zones in northern Pakistan, triggering one of the worst humanitarian crises in the country’s 62-year history.
Pakistan rushed about 5,000 army and paramilitary troops to Buner — famed for its fruit orchards and fertile land — after the Taleban advanced into the region from the neighbouring Swat Valley. The Taleban’s offensive was particularly embarrassing to the military and the weak civilian Government led by President Zardari.
Pakistan’s military said that scores of militants have been killed in the combat. But the fighting is far from over. Hundreds of Taleban militants are still entrenched in the Sultanwas and Pir Baba areas, three miles from Daggar, the main town and administrative headquarters of Buner.
Artillery fire was echoing around the mountains at regular intervals yesterday. “The militants still control some key routes and villages,” said an extremely nervous Yahaya Akhunzada, the top civil administrator of the district, sitting inside his heavily guarded office. He said that about 350 militants, including Arabs and Uzbeks, were holding out in Sultanwas, the Taleban’s main base in the region.
Mr Akhunzada said that the situation was still too tense for people to return to their homes. “We can only ask the people to return when the entire area is cleared,” he said.

He Came, He Spoke, He Conquered
THIS CATHOLIC'S VIEW
By Thomas J. Reese, S.J.
President Obama's reception at Notre Dame showed once again that a new generation of Americans, including Catholics, is looking for a different kind of leader, not one who speaks down to his audience, demands strict loyalty and demonizes opponents, but one who addresses complexity with honesty, acknowledges disagreements and tries to bring people together for the common good.
President Obama showed himself to be respectful of Catholic views, of Catholic institutions like Notre Dame and of Catholic leaders like Notre Dame's former president, Father Ted Hesburgh, and Chicago's former archbishop, Cardinal Joseph Bernardin.
In his speech, he praised Notre Dame for being, in the words of Father Hesburgh, both a lighthouse and a crossroads. "The lighthouse that stands apart, shining with the wisdom of the Catholic tradition, while the crossroads is where 'differences of culture and religion and conviction can coexist with friendship, civility, hospitality and especially love.'"
It was clear that Obama saw Cardinal Bernardin, whom he met in Chicago, as a model of leadership:
[Cardinal Bernardin] stood as both a lighthouse and a crossroads--unafraid to speak his mind on moral issues ranging from poverty, AIDS and abortion to the death penalty and nuclear war. And yet, he was congenial and gentle in his persuasion, always trying to bring people together; always trying to find common ground. Just before he died, a reporter asked Cardinal Bernardin about this approach to his ministry. And he said, "You can't really get on with preaching the Gospel until you've touched minds and hearts."
President Obama went on to say that he learned this "tradition of cooperation and understanding...with the help of the Catholic Church" as a community organizer for a group of Catholic parishes in Chicago. He even credited his experience of working with Catholic parishes as a community organizer for making him a religious person: "It was through this service that I was brought to Christ."
President Obama did exactly what he needed to do at Notre Dame. He challenged the students to take on the problems of the day, he spoke beyond them to the wider audience of Catholic citizens and presented a demeanor that contrasted with those who tried to paint him as a demonic, anti-life fanatic. His message was the need to work together to solve the problems and challenges facing the world not by exacerbating divisions but by bringing people together.
This lesson goes beyond the abortion debate to all the domestic and international challenges that we face. As he told the graduates, "we must find a way to reconcile our ever-shrinking world with its ever-growing diversity--diversity of thought, of culture and of belief. In short, we must find a way to live together as one human family."
But he acknowledged, "even bringing together persons of good will, men and women of principle and purpose, can be difficult."
Sounding more like a preacher than a politician, he asked that we extend the "presumption of good faith" to those who disagree with us. "Because when we do that--when we open our hearts and our minds to those who may not think like we do or believe what we do--that's when we discover at least the possibility of common ground."
It is clear where he thinks this common ground can be on abortion, which he declared has "both moral and spiritual dimensions."
So let's work together to reduce the number of women seeking abortions by reducing unintended pregnancies, and making adoption more available, and providing care and support for women who do carry their child to term. Let's honor the conscience of those who disagree with abortion, and draft a sensible conscience clause, and make sure that all of our health care policies are grounded in clear ethics and sound science, as well as respect for the equality of women.
This will not satisfy those who want to outlaw abortion, but can we not all work together to reduce the number of abortions? The political reality is that abortion is not going to be made illegal anytime soon. Simply as an intermediate strategy pro-life people should join with Obama in doing everything possible to reduce the number of abortions. Not to do so is to put politics above the life of the unborn.
And abortion is only one of the many challenges that we face. Add to that finding "a path back to prosperity," deciding "how we respond to a global economy that left millions behind even before this crisis hit," saving "God's creation from a changing climate that threatens to destroy it," and seeking "peace at a time when there are those who will stop at nothing to do us harm." And more.
As the President told the graduates, "no one person, or religion, or nation can meet these challenges alone. Our very survival has never required greater cooperation and understanding among all people from all places than at this moment in history."

Congress can help India take 'global responsibility': British newspapers
London (IANS) British newspapers on Monday praised the Indian voter for opting for the Congress, with one saying the party should use the better mandate to help India take on "global responsibility."
"The Congress brought India to independence. It now has a chance to give it the firm government needed for global responsibility," said The Times in an editorial.
Welcoming the results of the elections, it said "investors hope that a new strong government will be able to accelerate the pace of economic reform, unhampered by the Communists and other obstructive parties that have held back many of Dr [Manmohan] Singh's reforms for the past five years."
"What is heartening is that the turnout was strong, the campaign remarkably free of violence or fraud and the result apparently decided on political lines rather than caste, region or religion."
Newspapers praised the national leadership of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, the strategic leadership of Congress President Sonia Gandhi and the campaign run by Rahul Gandhi.
Manmohan Singh's "steady, unflappable - if unexciting - leadership" had paid off, as had Rahul Gandhi's "intelligent campaign in Uttar Pradesh," The Times said.
The Financial Times, in its editorial, said Indian voters had delivered an "humbling lesson in democratic wisdom."
"?The results reveal Indian democracy's ability to push back against three profoundly centrifugal forces that have made big advances over the past three decades: caste-based populism; sectarian Hindu revivalism; and regional parties with a habit of holding the national interest hostage."
Crediting Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi for the party's good show, the FT had some harsh words for the Bharatiya Janata Party's campaign.
"Modernisers in the BJP could not cover up the stock-in-trade of anti-Muslim and anti-Christian bigotry of its flourishing Hindu supremacist wing," it said.
"The party's security hawks overplayed their hand after last November's terrorist attacks in Mumbai. The danger now is that they retrench behind a more undiluted Hindutva? whereas what India needs is a reforming party of the centre-right."

Bookies score bull's eye in national predictions, but not Mumbai

MUMBAI: Bookies and punters scored a bull's eye in the all-India election results outcome, but their calculations went awry in Mumbai where they

Fate of families
suffered losses amounting to nearly Rs.500 crore (Rs.5 billion), sources in the industry said here Sunday.
In Mumbai, the bookies and bettors failed in their assessment of the outcome in three seats and on candidates belonging to the saffron combine of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-Shiv Sena, a bookie revealed Sunday morning.
These are:
Mumbai North - where BJP's Ram Naik was the favourite and the odds were against Congress' Sanjay Nirupam, who won the seat. The bookies gave odds of Rs.0.50 on Naik over Nirupam at Rs.1.60. That meant anyone betting a rupee on Naik's win would make Rs.1.50 if he did win, while someone who bet a rupee on Nirupam's win would now make Rs.2.60.
Mumbai North-East - where BJP's Kirit Somaiya was the favourite at Rs.0.65 over the Nationalist Congress Party' (NCP) Sanjay D. Patil, who trailed at Rs.1.50 with punters, but won the seat.
Mumbai North-West - where Sena strongman Gajanan Kirtikar was the favourite at Rs.0.85 over the Congress winner Gurudas Kamat, who trailed at Rs.1.05.
The bookies said that the BJP-Sena combine should have given opportunity to new, youthful faces instead of repeating aged and weary veterans in the three seats.
"All the Congress-NCP winners in Mumbai - Milind Deora, Eknath Gaekwad, Priya Dutt, as well as Kamat, Nirupam and Patil - are young and dynamic, appealing to the sentiments of the youth brigade," one bookie pointed out.

After the fifth and final phase of polling last Wednesday and till Friday evening, the betting frenzy had seen Rs.20,000 crore (Rs.200 billion/$4 billion) being invested in the illegal market, with nearly Rs.1,200 crore being bet on Mumbai's six Lok Sabha seats, according to a bookie.
As the results were declared and the UPA emerged the clear winner, there was subdued celebration among the bookies and punters.
Their projection of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh continuing in office proved correct as also the Congress-led UPA making a comeback.
Singh had been the hot favourite for the top job since polling started in mid-April.
At the close of polling last Wednesday, Manmohan Singh commanded odds of Rs.1.15 over L.K. Advani, the BJP's prime ministerial aspirant, who stood at Rs.2.00.
Despite the gloomy picture emerging in the media over various permutations and combinations being attempted on the eve of results, Manmohan Singh actually managed to improve his standing and commanded Rs.0.65, by Friday evening, while Advani's position remained unchanged.
An estimated Rs.1,800 crore was bid on Manmohan Singh and around Rs.800 crore on Advani, on their respective prospects for becoming prime minister.
The rates of the two main political entities the UPA and the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) stood at Rs.0.86 and Rs.1.25 respectively.
Other entities like the Third Front were practically written off at Rs.13, while the Fourth Front, the Left parties and their regional affiliates were nowhere in the reckoning.

Trinamool celebrates
India reacts to Congress win

Ballot Humour
series of significant aspects that will most probably reshape the understanding of Indian politics in the years to come.
The first aspect is the Congress' remarkable performance, which with 205 seats won on its own steam and almost 30 percent of the vote share, achieving the best score of any national party since 1991. This goes against the longstanding trend of the decline of national parties to the benefit of regional formations.
Thumping victories in Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan, and a most unexpected resurgence in the lost state of Uttar Pradesh, accounts mainly for the Congress' success.
The good result for the Congress in Uttar Pradesh shows that it has not only benefited from the weaknesses of its main opponents but also that it has also been able to conquer or re-conquer new political spaces.
The Congress party has also benefited from the fact that all its United Progressive Alliance (UPA) allies fared well in their respective states. The incumbent DMK bagged an impressive 18 seats in a highly disputed contest with its opponent, the AIADMK.

The Trinamool Congress, with 19 seats, won a decisive and historic victory in the Left stronghold of West Bengal. In comparison, BJP's NDA allies have fared rather poorly, with the exception of Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal-United (JD-U) in Bihar.
The former UPA allies who decided to go on their own in the polls faced the wrath or the disaffection of Indian voters. The Rashtriya Janata Dal has been trounced to four seats, its leader, Lalu Prasad Yadav, even losing one of the two seats he contested in Bihar. The Telangana Rashtra Samithi has shrunk from five to two seats in Andhra Pradesh.
The second important aspect is that the Indian voters have tended to support parties with some credentials in preserving social harmony and pursuing development.
From the impressive victory of the JD-U in Bihar to the Biju Janata Dal's performance in Orissa and the clean sweep of the Congress in Delhi, Indian voters have cast their ballot in favour of moderate leaders focusing their actions on development and better governance.
