Just saw the item about self “given premature repatriation “ . Though factually correct it conveys a very uncomplimentary meaning. Since my worried friends started calling me up after seeing this , I thought I should clear it with yours. Following my orders as DRM Izzatnagar, NE Rly , I had requested to be repatriated to railways to carry Vv the assignment for which Dopt has issued the aforementioned orders

Comedy of secularism
The dominant Indian media made a travesty of secularism in a few moments. Always ready with their script on anything perceived to be Hindu by them, they rushed to TV studios the moment the UK Prime Minister was named! They felt so devastated! How could it happen? They survived and thrived under patrons in the UK etc. They never could imagine heavens would fall on them so suddenly! It was unimaginable for them. They could not accept such unacceptable turn of events. They used the entire glossary of hate expressions reserved for Narendra Modi as if the UK had appointed NaMo their new Prime Minister! The language, rhetoric, headlines, body gestures, facial expressions of complete bewilderment were so much fun to watch! This comedy is unmatched in English Literature. In our vernacular (?) though there is an instance of Devarshi Narad borrowing the visage of Lord Vishnu to take part in a swyamvar (competition for winning the hand of a princess) and making the entire gathering burst in to uncontrolled laughter for it turned out to be the visage of a monkey! Even highly acknowledged journalists have published long articles in national dailies delving in Indo-British history, secularism, Hinduism, Hindu rituals etc scrutinizing the choice of the Conservative Party (craftily emphasizing the difference between people’s choice and party’s choice). In their audio, video and print they are spreading hate against the UK PM with the clear objective of harming him (recall their words like block/stop/defeat etc used against Narendra Modi). Hate is the only message they script, not love. Will they decide UK politics? What a funnelled existence of the Brown Sahibs of the Hindu/Indian living the imaginary community of the blue blooded Gora Sahib after cutting off his/her roots? Suffering from some inferiority complex calling themselves as Hindu or Indian, they conduct themselves as superior to their countrymen, living every minute English! They call themselves Gold Standard as compared to the “poor” Bhartiya people. Their articles in newspapers/magazines are sprinkled with names/quotes of writers/people from abroad to make a statement of their erudition to establish their superiority over Desi writers of the area of darkness ( vilifying Great India)! They have knowledge of Indian writers but they never quote them! Alas! they have lost 2024 in 2022 itself. How hollow is their secular rhetoric? These hate mongering tribes have not been able to see a Hindu become PM of the distant UK even after a week! It is no use trying to make them understand that the word Hindu did not decide the choice and there was no binary of Hindu-Muslim there (they spared the Mayor of London!).

‘Pappu’ will no longer be Pappu after the Bharat Jodo Yatra. He will emerge as a mature politician at the end of the Yatra.

Entire opposition is watching with keen interest the Yatra of Rahul Gandhi.

Society should learn to respect doctors
Doctors have been reduced to a commodity that everyone loves to kick. When an epidemic like the Covid strikes, then people start looking for the doctors and compare them with God. The fact is that there is little knowledge about the different provisions which the doctors are supposed to follow. Society should learn to respect the doctors and give them the due respect. It is a noble profession which should not be reduced to a business.

Collapse of bridge really heartbreaking
The collapse of the suspension bridge killing 135 people including women and children is really heartbreaking .That this could have been avoided had all those connected with the bridge in any way been more professional and efficient. The bridge was constructed in 1887.It would have been repaired and revamped many times in all these 135 years. The last revamp was done a few days before the disaster. It seems to be a very shabby job and without satisfying themselves about the strength and proper fitness the authorities allowed it to be opened. As the details of the repair coming in show the cable was rusted not oiled. The aluminum platform was not strong enough to carry that load of 400 people. Imagine when the bridge was newly built only 15 people were allowed on it. When it was being run by the town municipality the number was 50. Now the company started it they let 400 board it More tickets were sold in the greed to make more money. Where were the authorities/Why no cap was put on the number/Why no technical people of the Government checked the fitness before letting it open when fast flowing river is just below this Jhulta Pull why no safety measures and lifeguards were kept handy for, GOD forbid, any mishap and what a mishap it was wiping out some families altogether. The aftermath of the tragedy was also upsetting. The hospital was in such a bad state of affairs. No water and the walls needed a coat of paint for the VIP visit. Will someone, in this case many from the company Government municipality police or technical staff get to pay for their negligence and casualness. One wonders. What to talk of punishing the guilty we do not even learn lessons from such manmade disasters.

Not much, but one thing is certain that the Lok Sabha number will go up to 100. The Government can never be formed.

HM should have asked officials to leave the Shivir
I remember when the Ministry of Programme Implementation was formed in 1985 under Rajiv Gandhi Government, the then Secretary of the Ministry (Dr PK Basu) had called for a meeting of Secretaries regarding implementation of infrastructure projects above Rs 200 crores. When he saw some Ministries had sent Special/ Additional Secretary level officers to the meeting, he immediately sent them back from the meeting and asked their Secretaries to attend. Similar action, I think, should have been taken by the Home Minister and should have asked the officials to leave the Shivir. A strong mention should have been made in the minutes.
