<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The time is now to see what is <a class="zem_slink" title="Political corruption" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_corruption" rel="wikipedia">Corruption</a> and where is it and understand to take charge of situation. Corruption is when:</p>
<p><strong><em>Your Basic rights become privileges:</em></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>You have to bribe for basic amenities which are your basic rights such as water, electricity, roads, civic amenities, proper billing, proper food, health care, traffic.</li>
<li>When you have forgotten that these are basic rights and not privileges in a civil democratic society.</li>
<li>When the right to speak and demonstration is curtailed (Baba Ramdev at Ramlila ground and Anna at Tihar Jail.. These are only the recent and prominent ones).</li>
<li>When we are just working as servants without self respect in MNC&#8217;s just waiting for our new salaries to be fed in next month as hand to mouth. We becoming slave labor in hands of MNC&#8217;s which sometime seem Indian but have FDI via web of investments.</li>
<li>When boss is always right and you always kill your self-respect.</li>
<li>When we just cut up peers to climb up the ladder of success</li>
<li>Working and studying and progressing doesn&#8217;t seem to end in satisfaction and happiness.</li>
<li>When education is void of any research and experience whilst what is encouraged is mugging up and vomiting back on papers. When education is only about development of your left sided brain.</li>
<li>When a BPO culture and repetitive robotic work without novelty (IT) is considered &#8216;the&#8217; industry to work with.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><em>Politics is no more a social service, but a abuse and a dirty word:</em></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Rigging of elections is common and now accepted as a norm. Chidambaram was declared lost in last elections but magically came out as victorious in few hours as few ballots were left uncounted.</li>
<li>When credibility of foreign electronic voting machines is questionable and when Chief election Commissioner is appointed by ruling party congress.</li>
<li>When all bureaucrats and state governors are changed with change of party at centre.</li>
<li>CBI and Income tax are tools in hands of ruling party where they suppress even honest individuals with false changes on anyone who stands up-to-them.</li>
<li>Justice is made late and denied in multiple levels of corruption. Chief Justice is found corrupt and no action is taken.</li>
<li>When deals like nuclear deal are done in interest of US and Europe corporations (It could have been done at 25% of cost with indigenous scientists and materials. Congress chose to ignore the recommendations.)</li>
<li>When there is mass deception of truth. (Congress and DMK plans to sell vast resources of Thorium below Ram Setu to US. The real reason behind contemplation to break the historic bridge)</li>
<li>When out of 12 of 18 doctors in Obama panel are Indians and Sonia goes out of India to get some treatment of a secret disease.</li>
<li>When Raul Vinci (real name of <a class="zem_slink" title="Rahul Gandhi" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rahul_Gandhi" rel="wikipedia">Rahul Gandhi</a> on passport) and Antonia Edvige Albina Maino (Name of <a class="zem_slink" title="Sonia Gandhi" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonia_Gandhi" rel="wikipedia">Sonia Gandhi</a>) are barely high matriculate, catholic christians (real issue being deception), fudge their certificates, lie about education and when they are Italian citizens and travel on Italian passports.</li>
<li>Idiot Rahul Gandhi being promoted as future Prime Minister. He doesn&#8217;t have guts to come for a debate in open public forum.</li>
<li>Servants of nation (MP&#8217;s/MLA&#8217;s) decide their salary on their own.</li>
<li>Nil transparency in governance.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><em>Money becomes Fictitious:</em></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>We just exchange promissory notes today (remember I promise to pay the bearer.. what is the promise to pay for??) which do not have any intrinsic value (backing of gold/silver). This is a hard truth that majority of circulation money is in digital form and doesn&#8217;t even exist on paper. It is printed (typed) in endless quantity by RBI. Read <a href="http://www.occupyindia.wordpress.com/the-truth-behind-inflation-and-corruption/">here</a>.</li>
<li>When inflation is due to government accumulating foreign reserves in abundance. The private federal reserve bank of US prints digital dollars endlessly which government of India is bound to buy and cannot sell. This is a major cause of inflation and rupee depreciation. Each import costs more and causes further inflation.</li>
<li>When there is no accountability and traceability of taxes and money being extorted from public in name of frivolous taxes.</li>
<li>When taxes precede subsidy and are actually the real cause of the cost. Primarily being petrol, Diesel, LPG.</li>
<li>Petrol is costly due to government taxes. Govt taxes form 39.9% of the price)</li>
<li>When any increase in salary is less than inflation and eaten up with ever increasing taxes. At office, each step is more competition to cut down peers.</li>
<li>When home loans duration seem endless and ever increasing.</li>
<li>When students have to now take loans and pay years after education is complete and feed into greedy banks profits and education mafia.</li>
<li>When Indians put 59% of their income in taxes which are paid in thousands of forms (excise, income, customs, VAT, CVAT etc) and we wonder why inflation is increasing and savings being lost.</li>
<li>When salaried person doesn&#8217;t even get to see money in hand. It is deducted at source.</li>
<li>Taxes increasing every year every month.</li>
<li>Tax breaks are pushed as per where government wants you to spend, be it infrastructure bonds, share market, real estate or travel industry or medicine. Tax breaks are given accordingly. Most of these investment areas are highly leveraged and derivatives driven.</li>
<li>It is said by economists all over the world that there would be no need of taxes if governments are not corrupt. A true free economy is always self driven and socially oriented.</li>
<li>Merchants pay upto 39% taxes in various forms which get transferred to consumer in end. There are around 799 types of taxes in India.</li>
<li>In the end only 9.09% of taxes are spent on public welfare whilst rest is spent on parliament, govt salaries, pensions, government bills, parliament bills.. which they spend lavishly without control.</li>
<li>Each year the fiscal deficit increases because government takes loan from RBI to be returned at an interest. This cannot be returned obviously and hence fiscal deficit increases. This is again one reason of fictitious money and inflation.</li>
<li>When consumption is engine of growth for economy. After all, natural resources are limited.</li>
<li>Increasing fiscal deficit of country.</li>
<li>When in future you&#8217;ll be asked to pay for breathing out carbon dioxide and you have to buy carbon credits (Global warming is the false science created for selling creating carbon credits market)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><em>When God is closed in Books and temples/Culture:</em></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>When religion is vaticanised and run like an corporate</li>
<li>Vaticanisation of religion and corporatisation of Spiritual centres of worship with trusts like Vaisho Devi Shrine Board, <a class="zem_slink" title="Tirumala Venkateswara Temple" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=13.6830555556,79.3469444444&#38;spn=0.01,0.01&#38;q=13.6830555556,79.3469444444%20%28Tirumala%20Venkateswara%20Temple%29&#38;t=h" rel="geolocation">Tirumala Devasthanam</a>, Old kerala temple where fortunes were discovered. All the trusts are for profit now and proceeds go to govt of India.</li>
<li>When temple services are turned to professionals.. ISCKON Bangalore alone earns more than what Colgate Palmolive earns in whole India, and the money is sent to ISCKON trust USA.</li>
<li>Spiritual centres of worship are being destroyed</li>
<li>When we feel ashamed in using our mother tongue socially. Take example of any world&#8217;s nation: Germany, France, Russia, China, Spain.. All use thier mother tongue.. all education and IT is as per their language. It is proven fact that child learns 10 times faster in his mother tongue than in any foreign language. We have to write this article shamefully in English for wider reach.</li>
<li>China is opening Manadarin schools all over the world. Written Hindi is believed to be disappearing and be extinct in next 49 years.</li>
<li>All software companies manufacture software for them in their local languages. It comes too late and too little for Indian languages.</li>

</ul>
<p><strong><em>Pollution/Medicine:</em></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>When Clean water is no more in your ground and tap and you have to buy a Kinley or Bisleri for it.</li>
<li>When pure water is approx at same cost of a carbonated drink.</li>
<li>When the social medical care and education are diminished deliberately to push private interests and created into corporate mafia</li>
<li>When Doctors get corrupted with Pharma companies kick-backs and play with public health.</li>
<li>When pollution causes your honey bees, butterflies and sparrows to disappear.</li>
<li>When you pay hefty amount for healthcare in a private hospital and just get temporary relief. You are just a file in hospital in midst of machines and test reports.</li>
<li>When companies like Monsanto play with health of public by introducing genetically modified food.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><em>When you live in a Control Society/Police State and do not realise it (bars are invisible):</em></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>When you get monitored in every way possible: Dish TV on what you watch, CCTV, Cameras, Telephone, Police checking everywhere, Social media on what you do and interests are.</li>
<li>Fear is the controlling element. Fear of terrorism, strangers, death or anything with which you can be divided.</li>
<li>When media and cinema is controlled and highly censored. They just throw cricket and entertainment at you.</li>
<li>When you fear your government and not government fears you.</li>
<li>When you cannot be fearless talking to police.</li>
<li>When you have more chance of getting harassed by police officer than by any terrorist.</li>
<li>When we can&#8217;t make difference between police and thieves.</li>
<li>When we fear policeman more than terrorists</li>
<li>When farmers get shot on agitating for corporate builder mafia grabbing their land in co-hoots with corrupt government officials.</li>

<li>When threat of terrorism is used to carry out agendas. Small example &#8211; Removal  of Baba Ramdev from Ramlila maidan</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><em>When Corporations are mad after profits:</em></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Corporation loot natural resources, cut forests, kill wildlife, introduce package food and poison food with chemical additives, pesticides and insecticides which are major source of diseases like cancer.</li>
<li>When cancer and other diseases are big industry and their cures are not encouraged, rather suppressed.</li>
<li>Companies like Union Carbide (Bhopal) and Enron (<a href="http://www.alternet.org/story/12375/">Dabhol</a>) create disasters on Indian soil, bribe politicians and leave with zero accountability</li>
<li>When products become of inferior quality and what just sells is marketing gimmicks and lies.</li>
<li>When we see our defense/army being corrupted in various scandals and scams whilst our territory being slowly occupied by China.</li>
</ul>
<p>The above is the tip of iceberg awareness which ministers like Sibal do not wish to happen. Fools would simply snub the above information whilst critical thinkers use internet and their observation to find the truth in above. Many pages of Facebook/Internet have abundant information and discussions on them. Support Janlokpal.. Now you might now understand why this is SO BIG and SO IMPORTANT. Please forward this to as much as you can and support the movement. It&#8217;s not important that you support or do not support Anna Hazare. Important is that you stand up for what&#8217;s right. Watching news and patriotic movies is not enough. DO not get accustomed to your sufferings. Once you have internet censorship, you will not be able to send such emails.</p>
<p>Even one makes a difference. Governments are for profit and they will give any statements to divert your attention. Corporate Media supports it.</p>
<p>Official Secrets act was fought over by activists like Aruna Roy and Anna Hazare. RTI was provided with hard work of Aruna Roy and Anna Hazare. You see the crackers of corruption cases one by one in last few years. RTI is reason of the same. Governments used to suppress the facts earlier in name of national security and public peace. 18 activists in last two years are killed because they wanted to stand against corrupt system. They were fighting for collective social rights which includes you. Muck is thrown at every activist like Kiran Bedi and Arvind Kejriwal. Do not get misled by false government propaganda and corporate media which tries to make opinion.</p>
<p>The time is NOW. You need to BE AWAKE and STAND UP even if you are alone. The answer however is LOVE and civil disobedience.</p>
<p>Revolutions do not happen every-day. There is no stopping of an idea whose time has come. This is your life time chance to create history and be a witness to social inclusive growth and happiness. The biggest contribution you can do is first get educated and share this email/post with your friends. Be involved in intelligent news. Think critically. Be active partner in social change. Every voice matters. You are part of collective consciousness.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the last couple of days, Kapil Sibal has trended on twitter and been seen on news. He has taken on the very fabric of a democratic nation by trying to control the freedom of speech that is a fundamental right of India and her citizens. True, people have misused this and been guilty of using this freedom as a means of achieving their own personal goal, but such people are few and rarely the average citizens who form a larger percentage of social networking users. Why hasn’t <a href="www.saamana.com/">Samna</a> the mouthpiece of Shiv Sena been banned despite instilling hatred amongst people from different religions/cultures/states?</p>
<p>There is a certain Congress man who goes by the name of <a href="en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digvijay_Singh">Digvijay Singh</a>, this politician needs censorship more than anyone else. Numerous others have abused the freedom of speech in a manner that best fir their own ulterior motives. So why isn’t the common man, the voting class, allowed this? Why is that a platform that connects people in their outrage against the system being marked for censorship? The answers don’t lie at 10 Janpath for this particular question, but instead in <a href="en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralegan_Siddh">Ralegan Siddhi </a>and some countries of the world like <a href="en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunisian_revolution">Tunisia </a>and <a href="en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Egyptian_revolution">Egypt</a>.</p>
<p>That <a href="en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Hazare">Anna Hazare</a>, the Jan Lokpal crusader has brought the government of India on its knees twice in a few months doesn’t go down well with the ruling party. The Gandhian, immensely popular with young and old both in India and abroad, has been successful in uniting the citizens of India like no one else in the recent past. Twitter and Facebook have both played an important part in this particular revolution. People have found a platform(s) where they can share views and get in touch with like minded folks. This scares the wit out of the government. There were reports that India Against corruption <a href="https://www.facebook.com/IndiACor" target="_blank">facebook page</a> which was <a href="http://techwhack.com/india-against-corruption-facebook-161/" target="_blank">suspended</a> recently was a deliberate and surreptitious attempt.</p>
<p>No ruler whether democratically elected or otherwise, likes the citizens to question his/her actions both publicly and vociferously. What further scares Mr Sibbal and his band of stooges are the events of a few months back when governments were toppled in Tunisia and Egypt by their people who connected and reached to each other over Twitter and Facebook. Thus the panic attack.</p>
<p>To Mr. Kapil Sibbal, I ask, are there more internet users in our beloved country than those who read the printed word? Haven’t papers and magazines with a political bend been used to instigate the public and misguide them by mixing facts with fiction? What has been done to censor them? Why are people like Praveen Togaria, Naren Modi and Bal thackarey not behind bars or up in the gallows? Why is Kasab still alive while it’s been 3 years since he killed my brethren?</p>
<p>It’s the amazing power and ability of social network that has united a vast country like India, and it’s youth. The collective power of youth led by a man who has unquestionable character, Mr Anna Hazare that has the rulers of this country wet their pants. If Jan Lokpal is not passed in the form and date specified by Anna, all he needs to do is make a call and the nation will be on the streets with him supporting his agitation for the benefit of one and all. Word spreads faster on Twitter and Facebook now than the wild fires. Time to change proverbs and leaders has arrived. Jai Hind.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Censor on social networking sites. What! Did you get startled on hearing this bit like me? Then I observed that I’m not the only one. This news piece has invoked almost all Indian users on sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter etc. How can I air such a prediction? Well, it’s the huge scores of status updates, tweets, blogs links etc. that are a mirror of general disgust expressed by millions of social media users to such an imprudent suggestion from an honorable minister of the Government of India.</p>
<div id="attachment_837" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://rainatrivedi.wordpress.com/2011/11/24/social-media-roi-a-billion-dollar-question/" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-837   " title="Screening Social Networking Websites" src="http://rainatrivedi.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/379419_10150478489115102_89743390101_8288643_499634813_n.jpg?w=300&#038;h=234" alt="" width="300" height="234" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Censoring User Content on Social Networking Websites</p></div>
<p>In fact, this kindles a thought in me. How far can this government go on committing blunders? Overlooking 2G scam, CWG scam, maddening price rise, sabotaging Ramdev’s protest and exercising all tyrannical methods to curb the voice, followed by putting down Anna Hazare’s anti-corruption movement and then attacks on <a href="http://rainatrivedi.wordpress.com/2011/10/18/hooliganism-or-trps-or-political-agenda%E2%80%94what-is-it/" target="_blank">Team Anna’s members</a>..And the list continues.</p>
<p>Now, the biggest blunder of coming up with the daffy idea of censoring user content on social networking websites. Rather, sealing our lips or smashing our fundamental right of expression. I’m surprised that how could the so-called Gandhian minister, who at even the slightest of incitement starts blabbering the articles and clauses of our Constitution, forget to shuffle the page of ‘Fundamental Rights’ while he was cramming each page of Constitution with a magnifying glass in his hand.</p>
<div id="attachment_838" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://rainatrivedi.wordpress.com/2011/11/15/new-ailment-diagnosed-facebook-addiction-disorder-fad-are-you-suffering/" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-838  " title="Curb on Freedom of Expression" src="http://rainatrivedi.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/blocked.gif?w=300&#038;h=225" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Do some of our politicians plan to bereave us of our voice after food &#38; electricity?</p></div>
<p>While this suggestion has been shunned from the scratch by Big Daddies (like <a href="http://rainatrivedi.wordpress.com/2011/10/17/war-of-corporate-gullivers%E2%80%94google-vs-facebook-1/" target="_blank">Google</a>, <a href="http://rainatrivedi.wordpress.com/2011/10/17/war-of-corporate-gullivers%E2%80%94google-vs-facebook-1/" target="_blank">Facebook</a>) on the<a href="http://rainatrivedi.wordpress.com/2011/10/06/are-you-a-slave-to-web-it%E2%80%99s-time-to-free-yourself-from-addiction/" target="_blank"> web</a> landscape, it has staged a big interrogation mark on the intelligence set up of the government leading the nation. It’s sick that on one hand, we shout about being the largest democratic nation of the world and then one of the most reputed ministers tables his insane idea  and whim of choking our necks so that we can’t voice our opinions in public on these  sites.</p>
<p>To add to this, he’s beating the drums hard that machine/technology-driven screening of user content be replaced with manual monitoring of pages for reproachful, provocative or derogatory content. I guess the so-called minister, who is in the habit of commenting on all technological innovations and discoveries and bask in the glory of possessing the most tech-savvy brain among all, who walk into the Parliament does not have an account on <a href="http://rainatrivedi.wordpress.com/2011/11/15/new-ailment-diagnosed-facebook-addiction-disorder-fad-are-you-suffering/" target="_blank">Facebook</a>. Or even if he has, might not be able to be active there by virtue of his busy schedule. Because if he was really aware of the humongous user base of Facebook in India, he would not have voiced this silly suggestion.</p>
<div id="attachment_839" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://rainatrivedi.wordpress.com/2011/10/17/war-of-corporate-gullivers%E2%80%94google-vs-facebook-1/" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-839  " title="social networking censorship" src="http://rainatrivedi.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/social_networking.jpg?w=300&#038;h=198" alt="" width="300" height="198" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Self-regulation: A preaching from many</p></div>
<p>The latest news that I saw this morning that <a href="http://rainatrivedi.wordpress.com/2011/10/17/war-of-corporate-gullivers%E2%80%94google-vs-facebook-1/" target="_blank"><strong>Google</strong> </a>has slammed the idea by commenting that they’re on a rigorous spree of screening the content. So, any expression that abides by the law won’t be removed just because it’s inflammatory. More so, it’s vague to decide what is or is not profane or derogatory.</p>
<p>It’s great to see such tepid response from all segments – social networking sites, business communities, individual users – to an inane idea of censoring user content on <strong><a href="http://rainatrivedi.wordpress.com/2011/11/17/social-media-optimization-engagement-which-one-to-choose/" target="_blank">social networking websites</a></strong>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Conference room was buzzing with lots of anticipation, and why not after all it was called for revealing the reason why Mr. Steve Job died.</p>
<p>His personal doctor has told, the only reason why Mr Jobs died is because of an Indian. However he has refused to reveal further detail, however this piece of information has already caught two nation on cross roads.</p>
<p>CIA and FBI are working overtime to find that who the hell is responsible for Mr. Jobs death. Obama has pledged that whoever is responsible for this will be brought to justice.</p>
<p>Where as US citizen are highly depressed and anguished by this startling piece of information.<br />
This has further led to racial attacks on Indian living across US.</p>
<p>Million dollar question is that who is that Indian who is being claimed as the person because of whom Mr.Jobs died.</p>
<p>Initial reports are indicating to certain Mr Arvindam Chodhary (founder of MPII college), it&#8217;s believed that Mr. Arvindam has mailed his new book &#8220;Dare to think beyond Apple&#8221; to Mr. Jobs for a review, reading the prologue itself led to a massive cardiac attack.</p>
<p>However Mr.Arvindam has completely denied this accusation and told that he actually doesn&#8217;t know how to send a courier beyond India.</p>
<p>Certain section of media has also targeted baba Ramdev, report is that baba ramdev requested to include patanajali yogpeeth Ayurveda product in all Apple stores, this led to acute depression for Mr. Jobs.</p>
<p>However certain confident section of media is also claiming that this Indian is Mr. Dig-Pig-Jay Singh, as a night before Jobs died he has mailed him accusing of not including any minority related apps in his online Apple store, he is supposed to have accused Mr Jobs of being indulged in right wing terrorism in India and supporting groups like Bajrang dal, this claim led to a massive attack of hypertension which further led to his sudden death.</p>
<p>Ultimately after few days of investigation, its being told that the case has been cracked, and the main accuse as told by CBI is none other but our own Mr. Kapil Sibal.</p>
<p>There are clear indication that after Mr. Sibal decided to launch $35 tablet named Aakash, Mr Jobs was just unable to bear this pain. Finally when the launch happened on 5th october, Mr Steve couldn&#8217;t express his agony that how much frustated he was after he saw how a moron like Kapil Sibal can launch just a $35 table that too with a capacitive screen.</p>
<p>Now Obama has called upon Ms. Gandhi to proceed towards extradition of Mr Sibal, so that he can be tried on US land and can be sent to Guantanamo prison.</p>
<p>PS: This post is my way of sending my tributes to Mr. Steve Jobs the great visionary. RIP Jobs..</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone wants reforms in education but the relevance of those reforms with respect to development will depend only on the nature of reforms.</p>
<p>Kapil Sibbal the HRD minister has shown intentions to abolish SSC examinations. I would say its a very commendable step. But the reason he cites worries me. He says it should be done to eliminate the stress on students and parents.This is completely unacceptable.</p>
<p>I don’t believe that examination causes stress. The real stress is because the extreme compulsion to succeed. For example no once faces that extreme stress while answering NTSE, because success or failure in this examination does not mean end of the road.</p>
<p>The board examination on other hand is important because the marks that we score in this exam determine which stream we will join and in which college. One mark less and we might have to settle with a not so good higher secondary college. Hence each mark is important, hence that extreme fatal stress erupts in the young minds.</p>
<p>The root cause of stress here is the difference between demand and supply. There are thousands of students who pass out SSC with aspirations to go into a good college. There are very few good college. So few that in a state like Goa you can count them on figures of one hand and still some fingers will remain unaccounted. The government run higher secondaries everywhere are considered as the most inferior ones while private run colleges are given preference. Clearly the lack of educational infrastructure is the main cause behind this stress.</p>
<p>As long as this difference would persist competition would be inevitable. If you try to artificially stop the competition, the only other option left is corrupt practices. Say if SSC board examinations are abolished and the examinations are conducted by respective school. Now the school administration will get so much power that they will not hesitate to charge for it. A few years of this game and the HSSC colleges will no more believe in school conducted examinations. Either they will have their own internal examinations which again are easier to rig.</p>
<p>Sibbal is not a fool not to understand this. Hence his next move comes as abolishment of all state boards and have a central board conducting a certification exam for SSC. This examination will be optional. That means the bright students who face the stress of competition would continue to face it, only the exam will change. If earlier it was total marks now it will be higher percentile.</p>
<p>For whom will the life ease? For those who do not plan to study further after 10th. Those who would not pass 10th examination if it was conducted by a board. The school will pass them out of compassion or for money.</p>
<p>Personally for Sibbal he will be able to show that number of 10th pass students in his country goes up over night by 30%. Many applications for government job where 10th is the criteria.</p>
<p>This decision would make sense only if Sibbal has more concrete plans to reduce the demand supply gap. That will be the only way to reduce the stress on bright students.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Union HRD Minister, Mr. Kapil Sibbal, announced yesterday that the class X board exams would be made optional and universal &#8211; similar exam all over the country and only for those who wants it. It has sparked off a debate of sorts among educationalists and parents.</p>
<p>The minister believes that the board exams are a cause of trauma and stress and can be done away with. While i am a strong critic of the Congress, I welcome this step. The education system in India is in a dire need of a massive restructure. And i think, this is a very important step in that direction. Over the decades, instead of evolving, the Indian system has regressed to rote learning and exam-oriented teaching.</p>
<p>If this bill gets passed in the Parliament, there would be only one board to conduct class X exams. Only those interested in Diploma courses or equivalent where the criterion of admission is Class X result would take this exam. The result would be given in grades instead of marks (which i believe should have been done long ago. A pointer system similar to the ones in many Universities should be implemented).</p>
<p>This would reduce the stress on students and frankly speaking, class X results don&#8217;t matter much. In the current scenario, the X exams were just a source of unnecessary trauma. If the student wants to continue with the same school, why should he care to give class X boards ? (In most parts of India, school is compulsory till class XII).</p>
<p>If the bill is passed, then it would be one giant step in the direction of modernizing Indian education. The Gujarat Government has already approved of this decision. (Considering Narendra Modi&#8217;s abhorrance towards the Central Government and the recent disapproval of the GujCOC Bill). The West Bengal Government has disapproved it. The minister said that he would proceed with the plan after taking all states&#8217; education boards into confidence. After that the Parliament must approve this bill. I guess, it would take a fairly long time to come into action. But, if implememted, it would be a welcome step.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8216;The Big Fight&#8217; on NDTV was about Gujarat elections this week. The end result was, as my nana would say&#8217; Saapon ki mehfil main zabaan ki lapalapi hai&#8217;. Arun Jaitley from the religious right or Kapil Sibal from the so called secular Congress both are lawyers who play with words as spokesmen of their respective parties. It seemed that their job was to keep the discussion entertaining, and talk about vague notions of law and nationhood. It reminded me of the story I read long time back- when a child came home from school, his mother asked -what did you do in school? I sang, the child replied. What did you sing? the mother asked. I don&#8217;t know about the others but I sang&#8217; little -bo-peep&#8217;.</p>
<p>Both these leaders were evasive on major issues, about economic policies or about foreign affairs. All they discussed was &#8211; Did Sonia Gandhi call Narendra Modi a merchant of death? Did Narendra Modi admit that his government indulged in fake encounters to hunt alleged terrorists? I don&#8217;t understand the relevance of all this especially when the speeches referred to were actually watched on television by everyone.</p>
<p>There was another interesting point in Kapil sibbal&#8217;s discussion on secularism and the people joining the Congress. When he was questioned about former BJP leaders like Shankar Singh Vaghela and Shiv Sainiks like Sanjay Nirupam and Narayan Rane being welcomed into the Congress fold, all that he could say was that the defectors had accepted Congress party’s secular principles. He said that the Congress decision to accept the former so called communal leaders was taken because they had given up their communal thinking. I wondered if Chief Minister Narendra Modi would be welcomed in the Congress if his party suffered a shock defeat in the assembly polls. All Modi has to do is, not to repeat his crimes. Sibal not only justified the inclusion of the so called communal leaders in the Congress, he also complained about BJP poaching Congress members. All you need to claim the secular tag is to join the Congress.</p>
<p>The only person who impressed me during this Gujarat election coverage was Zafar Sareshwala. “We need to come out of that victim-centric mentality … I mean, till when are you going to count yourself as a victim?” he said.<br />
The riots choked off the 110-year-old family business of manufacturing valves. Sareshwala and his two brothers considered &#8212; and rejected &#8212; the idea of even leaving the country. “I had a UK residency, my brother had Canadian residency, one brother had a Saudi residency,” said Sareshwala.“But we took a conscious decision – if we were to survive and come back, it would only be in India, nowhere else,” he said. “I told my brothers – anywhere we go, we will be second class citizens. Not in India.” “Unfortunately, I always felt that enough has not been done by the Islamic clerics. They should come out in the open and condemn these kind of atrocities in the worst possible way,” Sareshwala said. “People argue – `what about what is happening in Israel or Iraq or Afghanistan?’ I say yes, but that does not mean you bomb the innocent in London!” These are the words coming from 43 year old Sareshwala who suffered uncomparable losses during the 2002 riots.The building that housed his stock broking company’s office had been burned by arsonists; his employees fled even as online trading continued. Sareshwala, from one of the most prosperous Muslims in Ahmedabad, was wiped out financially. Now he has thousands of clients across 21 Indian cities and towns. A German bank chief – also the president of the Munich Stock exchange – is among his top backers, along with leading Islamic clerics.</p>
<p>This is what is required to improve the  status of the Muslims in the country not empty rheotric by the pseudo-secularists.</p>
