World on FIRE!
Collision INFINITE in Between Free MarketAMERICANISED Democracy and ETHNONATIONALISM leading to CIVIL war and ARMS race, UNPRECEDENTED VIOLENCE ECLIPSING the Earth and SPACE, the GALAXY!for example, Various groups are involved in the Insurgency in North-East India, India's north east states, which are connected to the rest of India by a narrow strip of land known as the Siliguri Corridor or Chicken's Neck. Much of the region is notably ethnically and linguistically different from the rest of India. In the region several armed factions operate. Some groups call for a separate state, others for autonomy while some extreme groups demand nothing but complete independence.A number of political parties in Tamil Nadu, such as DMK and AIADMK owe their origins to the Self-respect movement,[3] the latter a 1972 breakaway from the DMK. Both parties are populist with a generally social democratic orientation.Not to mension MAHARASHTRA!
The movement has been in political power in Tamil Nadu since 1967, when the DMK under C. N. Annadurai defeated the ruling Congress Party. The incumbent (as of 2009) Chief Minister is M. Karunanidhi of the DMK.
A suspected US missile strike killed at least 14 people in Pakistan's troubled northwestern region bordering Afghanistan Saturday, media reports said.The attack targeted a Taliban hideout in the Bajaur tribal district, where the Pakistani military claimed victory over the militants early this year after months of fighting.
Ethnonationalism has taken over OLd Nationality dealt by Joseph STALIN. We live in a world of FREE MARKET DEmocracy as the Corporate Imperialism and zionist War Economy push for GLOBALISATION , the Post Modern Manusmriti Apartheid Rule under TRI IBLIS SATANIC Galaxy Order! Ethnonationalism and Democracy trying best to empower the Aboriginal Indigenous Ientities create UNPRECEDENTED Collision bigger than Big bang itself! DEMOGOGUES lead Insurrections against Hegemonies mobilising masses with the Impulsive ETHNONATIONALISM against the HEGEMONY Mainstream Blind nationalism. Global Institutions as World Bank, IMF, WTO, EC, ASEAN,SHAARC, UNESCO,GATT and MNCS including FIIs stand UNITED behind the ETHNIC Minorities controling the Wealth, Resources, State Power, Military, Services, Governance, Policies, Economy, Knowledge, Media, Intelligentsia, Arts, Industries, Bank and Money Market, Retail Chain, Minerals and so on. The ethnically Minority AFFLUENT Ruling Class Capture Land, Livelihood and Life. Nature is not spared. US aied DEMOCRACY and NGOs mobilise the ABORIGINAL and Indigenous Communities to voice the DEMAND of the Sons and Daughters of the SOIL, BHUMIPUTRA and a STRING of MARATHA MANUSH stand UNITED against the AMERICANISED LPG Democracy without addressing the basic issues of Resource and Human Management in a PLURAL Society. Imperialism made the Nationality Problem more COMPLEX as the ECONOMIC Reformas acomplish ETHNIC Cleansing!
Thus , the World in which we the Majority, Deprived, Underpreveleged, Black, Untouchable, Aboriginal and indigenous Communities LIVE, is on FIRE.
This PHENOMENON of Globalisation unites Terrorist groups, Ethnic identities, Extremism, Maoism, Regional Political parties led by DEMOGOGUES and Maoists together which leads to CIVIL War and ARMAMENT within to benefit only the Corporate War ECONOMY in the Global Village!
Now, Orissa gets a makeover, is renamed as Odisha!
The central government's nod to a proposal by Orissa government to re-name the state as Odisha has received appreciation from people in the state.
"This was a long-standing demand. There should also be changes in the names of all other places in Orissa which were misspelt," state Agriculture Minister and the ruling Biju Janata Dal's (BJD) general secretary Damodar Rout told IANS Saturday.
DENYING the EXISTENCE of ETHNONATIONALISM as reflected by MARATHA Manush, Amidst hectic lobbying for the post of Maharashtra chief minister, the 81 newly-elected legislators of the ruling Congress party met here Saturday to choose the legislature party leader, but left the decision to party chief Sonia Gandhi. Manipulated MANDATE derecognise ETHNIC Identity as FREE and FAIR Elections ENSURE Indigenous and ABORIGINAL Empowerment. The REACTION is quite MIND BOGGLING as Maharashtrians stabbed me in the back, Bal Thackeray Declares! Upset over Shiv Sena's electoral debacle in Maharashtra, party chief Bal Thackeray Saturday said it was not "outsiders" but Maharashtrians themselves who had stabbed him in the back.
Quoting an English newspaper headline 'MNS gives Cong Raj a hand", (Raj Thackeray-led MNS helps Congress retain power), the Sena chief said, "This sums it all".
Chhattisgarh to include kotwars in fight against naxals while Maoists gun down two rival activists in Jharkhand. Jharkhand is a CLASSIC Example of ETHNONATIONALISM , I have been witnessing along with Uttarakhand and Chhattishgarh since SEVENTIES. I spent at least two decades in Nationality Movement and then realised the Recognition by the Democratic Set UP has made it RATHER more a VIOLENT problem as ETHNIC Cleansing got momentum just after the MOVEMENT emerged Successful in all the THREE STATES which REMAIN Epicentres of MAOISM as ETHNONATIONALTI marginalised by AUTOCRACY and Free Market.Suspected Maoists abducted and killed two former activists of a rival outfit at Chando village in Palamau District of Jharkhand on Saturday.This is the first incident of violence by Naxals after the announcement of polls to the state assembly.
It is Chhath puja time and like millions of people in Bihar, the politicians were also busy Saturday performing the rituals to seek divine blessings, with an eye on the state assembly polls due next year.
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, his political rivals Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad, his wife and former Bihar chief minister Rabri Devi and Lok Janshakti Party chief Ram Vilas Paswan were celebrating Chhath in their homes.
Chhattisgarh to include kotwars in fight against naxals !The Chhattisgarh government has decided to include revenue Kotwars (gram chaukidars) in the security network to strengthen information flow and exchange in naxal-hit regions of the tribal state.
According to senior state police officials, the weak information network in the naxal-affected districts led to many Maoists attacks in the last four years killing nearly 1,400 people including many security personnel and officials.
“Fitting the Kotwars into the information network will not only ensure village security but also embolden the fight against naxals,” they said. Naxals have their ground information network across villages and districts mostly in women and children, who o ut of fear do not inform police about extremist activities in those areas, police said.
Official sources said that delay in receiving tip offs about naxal activities, has prompted the state government to take steps about inclusion of Kotwars into the information network to tackle the threat more effectively.
Also, the duties and responsibilities of Kotwars have been well defined in the Chhattishgarh Police Regulation and their services will be availed to curb crime and other naxal activities in the state.
The Kotwars (revenue officials of the lowest rank in rural areas) will be provided with a register wherein they have to record details of outsiders visiting the villages besides tracking other activities there, they said.
On the other hand, Links between a leading Indian militant group and the Tamil Tigers have for the first time been confirmed by a rebel leader Wednesday, two days after the army seized documents stating payments made towards weapons bought from the Tigers.
There were several reports in the past quoting intelligence reports that the outlawed United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) had direct links with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
On Monday, soldiers of the 19 Kumaon Regiment seized a large cache of weapons and explosives buried inside a pit, besides documents relating to the ULFA's financial transactions.
"There was a noting in one of the accounts statement that the ULFA paid Rs.2.3 million to the LTTE towards purchase of weapons," an army commander said. Now, for the first time, an ULFA leader admitted links with the LTTE.
"It was sometime in the early 90s when I was just an ordinary member at the Lakhipathar camp (in eastern Assam's Tinsukia district) when we saw three lanky Tamil men with our commander-in-chief Paresh Baruah. We were later told they were from the LTTE," Prabal Neog, a senior leader of the pro-talk ULFA faction, told IANS.
The Alpha and Charlie companies of the ULFA's 28th battalion, the most potent striking unit of the outfit, announced a unilateral ceasefire in June last year. The group now in a ceasefire mode named themselves as the pro-talk ULFA faction.
Meanwhile, Without a popular government for almost a year, Jharkhand will go to assembly polls in November-December staggered over nearly a month with the first phase of polling scheduled for November 27.
Announcing the five-phase poll schedule a day after the Union Cabinet decided to end President's rule in Jharkhand and dissolve the state assembly, the Election Commission said polling will be held on November 27, December two, eight, 12 and 18.
The counting of votes would take place on December 23, Chief Election Commissioner Navin Chawla told reporters here.
The state had been under President's rule since January 19 this year and a government has to be in place before January 18 next.
Dozens of ministers of Nitish Kumar's government and many former central and state ministers, legislators and MPs were celebrating the festival at their native villages across the state.
"We welcome the move. We have been demanding this since quite some time," Basanta Panigrahi, president of Utkal Sammilani, an organisation which works to protect the language, culture and tradition of the state, said.
"It is a welcome move. At least we will be able to use the right name of our state soon," college student Sudhakar Satpathy said. "Odisha is the ancient name of the state. It is a good move but only renaming of the state does not serve the purpose. The state government should promote Odiya culture and its language in true sense," former chief minister and Congress leader J.B. Patnaik told reporters.
The BJD government led by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik had approached the centre to amend the constitution after resolving in August last year to change the name of Orissa to Odisha and the name of its official language from Oriya to Odia.
The central cabinet approved the proposal Thursday, and the bill to amend the Constitution for the change is expected to be introduced in the next session of Parliament.
In Maharashtra, The Congress Legislature Party (CLP) meeting, which was held in the Vidhan Bhavan (state legislature), passed a one-line resolution that Sonia Gandhi would choose the chief minister.
A central team comprising party general secretary Digvijay Singh, Defence Minister A.K. Antony and Deputy Chairman of Rajya Sabha K. Rehman Khan were present to ascertain the views of the legislators for the post of chief minister, a party officer bearer said.
Incumbent Chief Minister Ashok Chavan, despite being a front-runner for the post and with the tacit support of Sonia Gandhi and party general secretary Rahul Gandhi, is likely to face a tough time from another prime contender - Narayan Rane.
While Chavan has the backing of union Power Minister Sushilkumar Shinde, Rane has the unexpected support of union Heavy Industries Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh.
Though Shinde and Deshmukh - both former chief ministers - have officially opted out of the race, the latter may not be averse to a third term as chief minister if circumstances permit.
State party chief Manikrao Thackre and another long-time hopeful Patangrao Kadam are also in the fray.
Party sources claim that of the 81 newly elected legislators, a majority support Rane for the post. Chavan, on the other hand is understood to have secured the support of a few of the 30-odd independents who have been elected.
Nitish Kumar's official residence wore a festive look as his elder brother Satish Kumar's family was performing Chhath. "Nitish Kumar is giving a helping hand to the family members despite his tight schedule," a staff member at the chief minister's 1, Anne Marg, residence said.
Kumar's wife Manju Sinha died in 2007. "Kumar may not be performing Chhath directly but he is keen to offer prayers to the sun god," a ruling Janata Dal-United leader close to him said.
A festive air is seen in Rabri Devi and husband Lalu Prasad's new residence, situated a few metres from the chief minister's home in the high security zone here. Rabri Devi's Chhath puja celebrations have been gala affairs every year, attracting attention ever since she became chief minister in 1997.
Lalu Prasad was helping Rabri Devi perform Chhath puja. "Chhath is not an easy festival, it is a difficult one as age-old traditions and rituals have to be followed. Lalu Prasad's presence gives strength to Rabri Devi," a RJD leader close to them said.
A special pond has been erected in Rabri Devi's new residence to worship the sun god. "She has been performing the rituals at her residence instead of going to any river," a staff member at her residence said.
Ram Vilas Paswan along with his wife and son are also camping in the state capital to provide moral support to his brother's families who are performing Chhath.
"Paswan along with his family visited the Lalu-Rabri residence Friday night to participate in the ritual of 'kharna' when sweet dishes are prepared and distributed," a leader close to Paswan said.
The Chhath festival was celebrated Saturday by millions of Hindus who converged on river banks, ponds and other water bodies to worship the setting sun.
They will make an offering to the rising sun on Sunday to mark the end of Chhath, which is celebrated in Bihar six days after Diwali. Married women and middle-aged men lead the preparations and observe fast.
"Nitish Kumar prefers not to celebrate Chhath. He usually keeps away from religious rituals. He celebrated Diwali and Durga Puja with simplicity this year," another member of the chief minister's staff said.
According to official sources, Nitish Kumar was busy monitoring security arrangements during the festive season.
Colourful idols of the sun god riding his chariot with seven horses, a new attraction this year, were being sold on riverbanks that had been cleaned up and decorated by the devotees. The administration along with voluntary organisations worked round-the-clock to clean up neighbourhoods and roads leading up to the banks of rivers and water bodies.
Striking a cynical note in his first editorial in party mouthpiece 'Saamna' after the assembly election results on October 22, the 84-year-old Thackeray said, "There is an evil spirit that is separating me from you (Marathi people) and not allowing a meeting of minds".
"I do not have any hope that even this writing will have any influence on your thinking. In fact, I have lost faith in everything, including Maharashtrians and also God. I am at great pains to make this statement but I have no desire to hide the truth and indulge in self-deception," he said.
24/10/2009Bofors case: Court defers order on dropping Quattrocchi's name
New Delhi: A city court on Saturday deferred its order on the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) plea to withdraw Italian businessman Ottavio Quattrocchi's name from the Bofors gun deal payoff case.
Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Kaveri Baweja deferred the order to Nov 6 on whether the CBI's application under section 321 of the criminal procedure code (CrPC) should be accepted.
The CBI had Oct 3 moved an application before a court here to quash all charges against Quattrocchi in the two-decade-old Bofors payoff case, saying the case cannot be kept pending forever as attempts to extradite him have failed in the past.
"The continued prosecution of Quattrocchi is unjustified in the light of various factors, including the failed attempts to extradite him," Additional Solicitor General P.P. Malhotra - appearing for the CBI - had said before the court of Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Baweja.
The CBI position had been contested by advocate Ajay Agarwal, who demanded that he be treated as a complainant in the case. But Malhotra said: "Petitioner has no locus standi to move the petition."
The court will now decide on both issues Nov 6.
Meanwhile, Agarwal has also filed a application under the Right to Information Act (RTI) with the CBI, seeking all the file notings and other related information about the case since it began.
"I have filed the RTI application Friday with the CBI and am waiting for the response," Agarwal told IANS.
In a 1987 broadcast, a Swedish radio station alleged that nearly Rs.64 crore ($13 million) were paid in kickbacks to the Congress party and the Rajiv Gandhi government for the multi-billion dollar Bofors howitzer deal. The scandal shook the nation and Rajiv Gandhi lost his two-thirds majority in parliament in the post-Bofors election two years later.

China makes six-point proposal for cooperation with ASEAN
Hua Hin (Thailand), Oct 24 : Chinese Prime Minster Wen Jiabao made a six-point proposal for strengthening cooperation with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) during his address at the bloc's summit here Saturday.
Wen said the financial situation in China and ASEAN countries remained stable despite the global economic crisis, and trade between the two sides have entered 'a stage of restorative growth', Xinhua reported.
He proposed six steps to enhance cooperation between the two sides: create China-ASEAN Free Trade Area, accelerate infrastructure development, deepen agricultural cooperation, promote sustainable development, strengthen cultural exchanges and advance regional cooperation at various levels.
He also called for protection of intellectual property rights and removal of technical trade barriers.
Wen said Beijing plans to hold a China-ASEAN Free Trade Area forum next year.
He said the two sides should actively promote projects that would help raise grain production in the ASEAN region.
Both sides should make efforts to adopt the China-ASEAN Environmental Cooperation Strategy at the earliest possible date, so as to expand cooperation in the field of renewable energy, among others, he added.
