David Vs Goliath. Revolution at stone’s throw??? On Kashmir

Among many correct observations of Marx one is that, “revolutions are locomotives of history”. According to Theda Skocpol, “social revolutions are rapid, basic transformations of a society’s state and class  structures; and they are accompanied and in part carried through by the class based revolts from below”. In Why Men Rebel? Ted Gurr argues that political Ted Gurr argues that political violence occurs when many people in society become angry. And people became angry when there occurs a gap between the valued things and opportunities they feel entitled to and things and opportunities they actually get –a condition that could be referred to as ‘relative deprivation”.

Chalmers Johnson adds that when such a situation arises then new and popular leaders emerge on the scene and at first a situation of multi-sovereignty or ‘state within state’ is created; then pre -revolutionary authorities lose their legitimacy to rule; and finally give way to the new leadership. Gurr has classified political violence as per to their spontaneity, leadership, planning and scale. For him ‘turmoil’, ‘conspiracy’ and internal war are different from each other. When the discontent in the masses pushes them to resort to the internal war category, large scale terrorism, guerrilla wars, civil wars become order of the day that finally give birth to a revolution. Internal war is different from just turmoil because despite all its disorganisation and spontaneity it is fairly organised and planned; and it is different from conspiracy as it enjoys huge popular support and mass base.

Thus if judged from the Gurr’s premises, the primary causal sequence in political violence is first the development discontent, second the politicisation of the discontent, and finally its actualisation in violent action political objects and actors” – the violence shrouding Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan and Kashmir are by all criteria political violence. People are resentful; they are fighting for their rights, recognition and self-rule. And strange enough they appear fairly successful- stoning their way to freedom despite all the armed might of adversary powers. In this issue, we will glance through the prevailing conditions in some of these areas, the progress of people’s resistance, their sacrifices, its significance and off course possible way outs.

Scholars like James Manor have argued from the outset that Indian state has failed to manage Kashmir. Now this is the least what we could say. The recent agitations rather revolts too were tried to be suppressed with states brutal coercive power that proved too short to meet the will determination and resistance of the stone pelting Kashmiris. 

In words of an Urdu Poet;

Every tyrant of the day considers his strategies impregnable

But the time will tell him that; “your sword was blunt’.

Tell the enemy to refill his quivers whenever he wishes

There are thousands of chests by our side if he has countless of arrows.

What should be done is the question that baffles the mind. Simplistically arguing imperialist powers should simply (and truly) pull away from Iraq and Afghanistan. Pre-1948 status quo should be achieved in Palestine. The governments of India and Pakistan must at least show the courtesy to give up their illegitimate and procrastination conditions and come to the negotiating table with Kashmiris to come up with some sort of permanent solution’ once and for all. Afterwards initiatives must be taken to ensure self-government and that will be the end of the ghost of Kashmir Dispute.

However, we are aware of that its not going to be that simple. The current upsurge of the kashmiris is spontaneous and leaderless. And so it is argued that people have no particular end in their mind; they are just angry. The popular passage of the time and so there is no need for any ‘drastic ‘ policy change. ‘beating around the bush’ will once again save the day. We can counter this line of bureaucratic argument with the statement of Jeremy Brecher that “revolutionary  movements rarely begin with a revolutionary intention; this only develops in the course of the struggle itself”. Thus; if this discontent is allowed to boil up to its logical conclusion- i.e. revolution- the indian state has all to blame itself and its false sense of arrogance and pride. Like Katherine Chorley all those who believe that, “ no revolution will be won against a modern army when that army is putting out its full strength against the insurrection” will be wonder- and thunderstruck when the inevitable will happen.

REGULATING THE REGULATOR

In a move that is supposed to abet protectiomism and regulate the press freedom, the Union Cabinet passed the amendments to the Press and Registration of Books Act,1867. The proposed legislation, which has already done the rounds of various concerned ministries is currently being scrutinised  by the law ministry. The main purpose of the act is to limit the foreign content(syndication) and bar terror convicts from bringing out any publication. The proposed law, among  other things, also makes it mandatory for an editor of a publication or a newspaper to be a citizien of India. The legislation is expected to be tabled in the Budget Session of the Parliament. The Act will hold good for both traditional and new media, which makes it an important attribute of internet freedom, once it comes into force.

The name of the act is to be revised to Press and Registration of Books and Publications Act(PRBP) and the Press Registrar is to be called as the Press Registrar General. According to a suggesgtion made by Information and Broadcasting Ministry, publication will also include electronic media, more pertinent to films and documentaries.To be more precise, it means reproduction of publications, stored in media, magnetic, optical computer memory, micro film, computer generated micro fiche or similar device or in the world wide web. New definitions have been put forward for 'editor', 'newspaper', 'publication', 'journals' and 'newsletter'.

There is also a provision for making mandatory the circulation verification and filing of annual statements by publishers. There are punishments ranging from banning the newspaper to thirty days to cancelling their licences. Cancellation of licences will only take place, if the publisher fails to file the annual statements for three consecutive years. For Title verification, the publications has to be a legal entity registered under Indian legislation, or a citizen of India in case of an individual. Minors, persons of unsound mind; insolvents; persons convicted for a cognizable offence; and persons not Ordinarily Resident in India won't be legally allowed to bring out their publication or newspapers. The owner of any proposed publication  may propose one or more titles in the order of preference but not in excess of five titles. The citizen of India who intends to bring out a publication and who is also the owner, then shall make an application to the Magistrate in the prescribed form, accompanied by a nominal fee for his request to be processed.The Magistrate will recommend or reject the application within a period of 3 months. Titles which match other publications, are obscene, similar to symbols of terrorist organizations will not be registered.

There are also provisons in the amended Act to regulate the foreign content or syndication, and foreign investment in a publication. Foreign investments are to be limited by laws prescribed by the investing country for such purpose and 'fascimile edition' or replica of foreign newpaper or publication with minor changes, can be printed after getting sanctioned by GOI.

Whenever any owner or printer or publisher prints or publishes any publication that do not conform to the  Act and the Rules made under this Act, he/she shall be liable for penalties ranging from suspension of the publication for a period up to 30 days or a fine of up to Rs. 5000 (five thousand) or both for first offence to cancellation of registration or a fine of up to Rs. 50000 (Fifty thousand) or both for third offence.

The Government is being blamed by various stakeholders for not taking into account their interests and objections, although it invited their suggesgtions and recommendations. Meanwhile, the Association of Indian Magazines(AIM), at their meeting came down heavily on the Government. Paresh Nath, Editor & Publisher, Delhi Press, said, “The proposed amendment by the Government is unnecessary. The old Act was working well during the British reign and after independence also it had been satisfying so far. The industry doesn’t need any amendment which will restrict the fundamental right to freedom of expression in any way.”

INS president Kundan R Vyas, who maintained that the purpose of legislation ought to be to remove anomalies, charged that some of the provisions were still draconian and violative of the Constitution. Vyas urged Soni to take a serious view on concerns of the industry and initiate consulations with the industry. “The suspension of a publication is too wide a power to be granted to a magistrate or even Press Registrar. Any provision that causes cessation of a publication has no place in democracy and is violative of the right to freedom of speech under Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution,” he said.

Dr. Binayak Sen Is Speaking Up A Crime?

A review by MassCoMedia Trainee

A person who fights for Human Rights and Questions the Government policy will be sentenced to life imprisonment. This is what the Law says. According to Section 124(A) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), “ Whoever, by words, either spoken or written, or by signs, or by visible representation, or otherwise, brings or attempts to bring into hatred or contempt, or excites or attempts to excite disaffection towards the Government established by Law in India, shall be punished with imprisonment for life, to which fine may be added, or with imprisonment which may extend to three years, to which fine may be added, or with fine.” Same was the law (of sedition) that was used to convict Mahatma Gandhi during British Rule. After independence and happily, we inherited the British system.

Dr. Binayak Sen, a doctor by profession is a noted Human right activist who has dedicated his life for a Cause. He worked for the tribal people of Chhittisgarh who are devoid of the basic amenities. On 24^th Dec, the Session court of Raipur found him guilty of sedition and sentenced him to life imprisonment.

His only crime is that he raised his voice against the ‘salwa judum’, a private force armed by the Chhittisgarh Government to take on the Tribals and Maoists, forcing them to leave their land to the big-shot Mining companies. Salwa Judum has committed many crimes, the list of which is endless; burnt houses, looted tribal’s property, raped women and killed people. Though government admits all of these crimes, not a single case has been registered against Salwa Judum, only because it is backed by the state government.

Der. Sen fought for people who have been exploited over years, who are deprived of Education, Healthcare and resources needed to ensure their Sustainability. What they want is not ‘Development’ but protection of their ‘land’ and basic amenities.

In spite of Dr, Sen’s statements that he neither condones the Naxalites nor approves of their violent method, speaking strongly against them several times, he gets falsely accused of sedition and conspiracy.

The evidence that was presented against Dr. Sen is:

·        A post card dated 3 June 2006 written to Dr. Sen by Narayan Sanyal (while lodged at the Raipur Central Jail), regarding his health as well as lagal case, which is duly signed by the jail authorities carrying the Seal of the jail Authorities

·        A booklet “ on the Unity between CPI (Peole’s War) and Maoist Communist Centre” in Hindi.

·        A letter written by Mdanlal Banarjee( a member of the CPI-Maoist) from jail addressed “ Priya Comrade Binayak Sen”

·        A photocopy of an article in English titled “ Naxal Movement, Tribals and Woman’s Movement”

·        A hand written photocopied note “ how to build an anti-US imperialist Front”

·        Eight page article titled “ krantikari Janwadi Morcha (Revolutionary People’s Front) Vaishavikaran Awam Bahrtiye Seva Kshetra (Globalisation and the Service Sector in India)

What is the reason of Dr. Sen’s life-time imprisonment? Is it because, he visited Narayan Sanyal in jail 33 times? Is talking to a prisoner with prior police permission a Crime? The Post card written by Mr. Sanyal was duly signed by the jail authorities. Mr. Sanyal was being treated by  Dr. Sen for fibromatosis. Is treating a prisoner a Crime?  Moreover, Mr. Sanyal was not jailed as a Naxalite, rather, he was accused of murder. Most importantly, all the meets of Dr, Sen with Mr. Sanyal was under the strict supervision of jail authorities. All that they talked was about Mr. Sanyal’s health and his case. When they never met alone, how is Dr, Sen accused of conspiracy?

Refuting to follow his party’s line in Chhattisgarh, Ram Jethmalani, eminent lawyer and BJP member says that “it is a case of low evidence”

The hard –to-belief reality is that the Chhattisgarh government has signed hundreds of MoUs(Memorandum of understanding) with many Mining companies and other MNCs. It is public that there have been many visits of American Ambassadors to Raipur and other cities of Chhattisgarh in the recent times. All of this suggests that Dr, Sen’s  arrest is nothing but a Capitalist agenda in the disguise of ‘development’. As Arundathi Roy suggests, it isn’t Maoist corridor, rather, it must be called a ‘MOUist corridor’.

In this regard, india should not follow the path of China by turning down the Voices raised against the Government. When the Human Rights activist of China, Liu Xiaobo called for the end of communist one-party rule in China, he was incarcerated as a political prisoner. Is India-walking into the foot-steps of China-not ridiculing the “Right to Freedom of speech”  by convicting Dr. Binayak Sen of being a conduit between the Naxalites? His is one such case of excesses on basic human rights of the citizens of India, there are thousands such cases but who cares.

It’s high time that we analyze our shortcomings, raise our voices for this cause and let would hear it!! Cry Out!!!

A twinge of Democracy

Dhairya Maheshwari, Media Trainee, MassCoMedia

Changes,however trivial or revolutionary are often tumultuous and sweat is

 their provender. And they go in proportion with their magnitude. National

or regime changes,as history suggests, are always accompanied by chaos, din

and some amount of blood-shedding.For blood is what instils fear and anger,

the two drivers behind revolution.

The Day of Anger, or January 25th, the day when it all started. Egyptians, in

flagrant disregard of their autocratic laws, defied the thirty-year old 

emergency-rule and took to streets irrespective of their class or age.Under

 the law, police powers are extended, constitutional rights suspended, 

censorship is legalised, and the government may imprison individuals 

indefinitely and without reason. The law sharply limits any non-governmental

 political activity, including street demonstrations, non-approved political

 organisations, and unregistered financial donations.Although socially 

liberal than most of other Muslim-regimes and having a more inclusive society,

Egyptian people toiled with shackles of poverty and oppression(mostly police)

holding them from integrating with rest of the world.Human rights organisations estimate that in 2010 between 5,000 and 10,000

 people were in long-term detention without charge or trial. They could not express 

themselves, and number of government dissendents inundated the jails.Egyptian

youth, which was continuously growing restless due to rising unemployment and

social oppression, and not being able to decide its country's fate unlike 

elsewhere in the world decided to give it back to the government and take its

rights, forcefully.President Mubarak, no doubt, did a commendable job by 

laying emphasis on education. As a result, literacy rate in Egypt is pretty

high as compared to other parts of the Arab World. But even Britishers built

railways in India hoping to gain from it, and it was one reason that led to 

their doom. Similarly, Mubarak could not take into account rising aspirations

of the educated youth and it could,very well, be his last fight.

The Sarajevo moment of the uprising is attributed to the Alexandria Church 

bombings just after the New Year's eve.The inability of the Mubarak-led 

National Security Forces to protect the Church was seen as a breach of trust 

by Egyptian people and Christians, along with Muslims, marched to streets 

condemning the Mubarak govenrment. The bomb was alleged to have been planted 

by Gaza-based Army of Islam and killed 23 people.

The Egyptian Army, after exercising much restraint, had to take up to streets

on January 30th. They have not fired at the protestors, and see this as an 

oppurtunity to outster Hosni Mubarak, who has tried in the past to lessen

its influence by forming his own Security outfits. The Army, which enjoys

good rapport with the people of Egypt,in a sign of solidarity with the people

helped them in organising themselves and has really prevented the matters 

from going bad to worse. It has thwarted attempts by pro-Mubarak rabble 

rousers to cause mayhem. To paraphrase Manu Pubby of Indian Express, who is 

reporing from Cairo, there is a  carousal atmosphere prevailing with people

singing patriotic songs. They are assisting the army in checking credentials

of foreign journalists and preventing pro-Mubarak supporters from entering

the crowd beyond certain vantage points.The Army, which has direct linkages 

with US Defense Department, is closely being scrutinised by all around the 

world. It is the single most important entity, whose action or misactions 

could change the course of the revolution. It is being alleged that US$1.3 

billion of military aid each year in addition to economic and 

development assistance from the US has kept the Army quiet until now.The 

American clout is clearly visible here. And so is its flak toward a 

dictator it has backed for the last thirty years.US have supported the people

and called for a peaceful transition as early as possible. But Mubarak wants

to complete his term and go in September citing instability and chaos that

would follow his retirement.He has made encouraging overtures that suggest

change of guard is imminent in near future.A statement issued from Suleiman's 

office after the meeting said that the

 government had offered to form a committee to suggest required 

constitutional amendments by the first week of March, pursue corrupt 

officials, undo curbs on media freedom, liberalise communication, lift an 

emergency law in the country and open an office to look into the release of 

political prisoners.But people want an immediate switchover.

Another important player in the uprising is Muslim Brotherhood. They have

a considerable presence in Egypt and are leading from the front.The MB stands

for Islamic Law and that is what is feared most by its critics. But MB insist 

that they will run their society on tenets of Islam, which stands for tolera-

nce and peace. Women will have a choice to wear what they want. Secularism

will be the order of the day.But they have been involved in violent activit-

ies in the past and thats what is worrying about them.We do not want a second

Taliban.

Who gains from this uprising? Well,ideally it should be the people. But bomb-

blasts from MB dominated Gaza-strip or military suppoting the people and 

reverberating the US. It can make one ponder. President Mubarak may be right

to not to relinquish power immediately as it may lead to power struggle in 

which people may be left unattended,but who can trust him or his motives

either. One thing is for sure, somebody is gaining big time from this turn 

of events. 

ANNA

Neha Kedia, Media Trainee, MassCoMedia

After a nonstop 98 hour fast unto death, Social activist, Anna Hazare was successful in getting the Government to agree on his terms and conditions towards the formation of Joint Drafting Committee for the Lokpal Bill.

Hazare called of his fast on Saturday morning when government agreed to issue an official order to set up a 10-member joint committee of ministers and civil society activists to draft a new Lokpal Bill. The drafting panel is to be headed by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee and include Hazare himself as one of the member from the crusading camp. The panel has given the deadline of June 30 to complete its work so that the Bill can be introduced in the monsoon session of the parliament.

Facebook, Twitter and Short Message Service (SMS) played an important role in making people aware and urging them to fight against corruption. Arvind Kejriwal, the prominent member of the crusading camp, said that the idea to use Facebook and Twitter came from the protests of Egypt and Libya to communicate with the masses and making people to take some action against corruption.

Anna Hazare employed Gandhian way of protest against corruption in India. Last time when Anna sat on fast­ in 2006, Central Government withdraw its proposal to amend Central RTI Act; in 2002, Maharashtra RTI Act was passed; 400 corrupt officers were dismissed from job; six corrupt ministers in Maharashtra had to resign. “Anna hazare is reborn as Gandhiji. So I am supporting him through my brush by making a potrait of Gandhiji” Tabrez Alam, a painter who came from Bihar said.

Qila Rai Pithoria-Neha Kedia MSC-MCAJ 1st sem(MassCoMedia Student)

Delhi is a city with a remarkable history, monuments and rich cultural heritage. From Old Fort to various monuments in the city, each one represents a separate period in the history of Delhi. Besides Red Fort, Old Fort, Humayun's Tomb, India Gate, Qutab Minar, etc., there exists one more monument, named Qila Rai Pithoria, not well known to the people. Also known as the ‘First City’ of Delhi created in 10^th century in Mehrauli, Qila Rai Pithoria got its identification due to the presence of recorded historical facts.

Qila Rai Pithoria was built by Prithviraj Chauhan, also known as Rai Pithora, who was the popular during the then Hindu confrontation against Muslim invader. Qila Rai Pithoria was built on the grounds of the Lal Kot, which was a fort of Anang Pal, a Tomar Rajput ruler. Prithviraj captured Lal Kot and extended it to build the Qila Rai Pithoria. The city was surrounded by a wall of 10 to 18 meters for safety and protection. Quila Rai Pithora in Delhi was the first seat of urban settlements in Delhi region.

“The ruins of the Qila Rai Pithora have been conserved in a 20-acre DDA Conservation Park, but due to the presence of historical facts it was taken by the archeological department” said Pradip Upadhyaye, Security Guard, Quila Rai Pithoria.

The park has an 18-foot high statue of Prithviraj Chauhan and a library, and is being developed as a tourist destination, housing an interesting museum and artifacts belonging to the medieval period.
 

“The fort looks especially beautiful in the evenings when its ramparts get all lit up, and is a good place to spend time with our children as we cannot take them to any other park nearby as they basically turned into the couple’s park and we don’t want our children to have a bad effect on them” said Rashmi, resident of Madangir who has been coming to the park from the last five years.

The park also attract to the young chirpy crowd through its entertaining activities like music concerts, shooting for videos and photo shoots. Hence, Qila Rai Pithoria is an ideal place where one can not only enjoy the historical monument, but also relax in the sprawling park. People can have entertainment under one roof

India's place in current world order, a critical overview by a MassCoMedia student

Noor Khan, Trainee Reporter, MassCoMedia  

A famous saying “History repeat itself” has been again proven with the development of world’s largest democracy – India.

                India was once believed to be a land that was symbolised as golden bird which has now emerged as the land of golden economy after 60 years of its independence.

 The India of today is quite different  from what is used to be in the past, as far as close study of its growth chart presents. It has changed for the better as the analyst all over the world find. They  present their view in a very objective way relying on the data collected painstakingly over the year All expert, both at home and abbroad , agree that India hash made a remarkable progress with regard to the income of people, individually as well as collectively. Common people as well as the knowledgeable one emerged and atmosphere has become conducive for the commencement as well as growth of business today. On the whole, we can say though the modern advancement and growth of our country have benefited mainly the urban middle classes, quantum of benefit has varied across classes throughout the country. The most significant fact is that oour country moved a step forward in the direction of development, while the biggest  economies of the world reeled under the worst impact of global meltdown. As our country   fared well during the time of global slow down dat the world witness during the later years of the first decade of the 21 century, we can hope do the best during the year it is passing through and in the decade to fallow. The factor that ensured the growth of Indian economy are chiefly said to be the country’s manpower ( which consisted of younger and more productive person than in the past), money ( to fund investment and consumption), confidence (that entrepreneurship and investment will result in significant returns) and competition (that proved fiercer yet healthier and ever-increasing). As far as the factors are concerned, thy are still present and not going to vanish very soon, so we can look forward to more growth and prosperity.

We should, however, not ignore d  factor that impeded our growth in the past. When the country ushered in the past new century, the greatest problem that it faced was uncontrollable population explosion. Now, the scene has completely changed. The country is harvesting its population’s strength to its benefit rather than considering it unmanageable. How ironical it looks now when we are in a position to give international Monetary Fund, There fore the scene is just the reverse now. The vistas of opportunity during the first decade of this century fallowed the change in perception when business-idea not the business-licence came to regarded as the key ingredient for a start-up. That becomes possible when the politicians at the helm of affairs started recognising, new political parties. They not only promised but many of them actually fulfilled also what they had promised. And un like their past behaviour, they start talking on growth without any hesitation. In 2007, the Finance minister of India Mr. P. Chidambaram told a gathering abroad that “without growth, India will remain a poor, rich nation”. What he meant to say was that the size of the cake is necessary to determine the slice of the cake. In other word, economic policies should stress more on wealth creation which would in turn decide the wealth distribution.

Impact of Indian economy was seen when U.S.A ‘s president mentioned in his speech at Mumbai at “India is not emerging, but has already a emerged Nation. It has a very crucial  role to play in global economy rise. The rock of Indian economy was even excepted by world biggest economy’s when Chinese president said dat India is not a rival but a partner for its rise.

The rise of India can be seen in every possible field. India holds the record of worlds second largest arm buyer and is said to be a pool of engineers and doctors. Beside these India is making a marvellous development in field of agriculture after been declared as third most producer of wheat and second most producer of tea after china. In field of technology India holds the number one position in software technology.

India’s capacity in sports was seen when its sport stars performed wonderfully in Commonwealth Games (CWG)  and Asian games. Indian cricket always proved to be his iron in world.

India’s strength was seen in international sphere when many ‘Veto Nation’ themselves showed their open support for India’s seat for (UNSC) United Nation Security Council. Hillary Clinton herself said dat India has herself earned a seat in UNSC.

Girls 'stand out', a report on increasing female infanticide and foeticide by a MassCoMedia student

Rahul Chaturvedi, Trainee Reporter, MassCoMedia

India has completed 63 year of independence but why newborn girls are not safe?

In India most of the children are abandoned by their parents and most of them are killed.It is shocking that killed ones are girls.

They are killed because they are girls?

Thousands of girls have been killed by their parents in India in the past 20 years.

A UNICEF report said 4000 fewer girls are born in the country every day than

global average would suggest ,largely because female fetuses are aborted after sex determination test but also through murder of new born.

Highlight of few cases: 

-On January 19,2011 a newborn girl was found floating in a sewage drain near Sarai Rohilla in North Delhi.

-Two couples who left their newborn daughters at the city Kalawati Sran and Bara Hindu Rao Hospital.

I have a question here that, Why men are seen as bread winners? and Why social prejudias deny women opportunities for education and jobs? Who has killed these girl childrens?there own parents?

The minute the child is born and she opens her mouth to cry because they put sand into her mouth and her nostrils so she chokes and dies.

According to the 2001census the national sex ratio was 933 girls to 1000 boys while in the worst affected northers state of punjab,it was 789 girls to 1000 boys.

Article 377 – changing structure of the society, a feature by a MassCoMedia student

Subhadra Bhadauria,Trainee Reporter, MassCoMedia 

My recent trip back home was a real serene. Family’s affection and chomping  frightlessly despite of augmenting fat and flab was immaculately perfect. Friday night around 9 we all planned to dine, TV was on  and mom was screaming on dad for the number of chapatti’s he wants but daddu’s  eyes were glued to the  worlds news from every hook and corner, completely oblivious to the surrounding, he was stuck to broadcast with strips reading “Gays won’t be allowed to enter the pubs and bars during 31^st December 2010 night“I felt an itch and thought to pen down my outlook to reach you all out there. Homosexuality is not a social vice and the every state should uphold these notions publicly and be empowered to contain it. Decriminalizing homosexuality may be an infringe to peace. 

Section 377 of Indian Penal Code is a piece of legislation which was introduced in India during British  times that criminalises sexual activity “against the decree of nature”. The law also rapt in itself “no coercive sex”. But 2 years back  Delhi high court‘s verdict on legalizing article 377 not only gave few hidden souls  to breathe freely and share a social platform but also vetoed many suicide attempts by the youth as earlier their burdened life was a grudge they hold to the creator.

A man and woman getting married and reproducing themselves, this is what we consider ideal life of two, sharing  “love bond” for entire life, but here the man and woman chose to live life this way .In the same way  censuring an individual who falls for same sex and wants to be with that mortal,  becomes  a sin. Deity biggest recipe of heart and soul makes everyone to bow before him. Drafting  a human is tough and the one above us is perfect in this .When his machine didn’t find a flaw then how do we under his umbrella  can raise a question on his crafting. Our epics and monuments are live example of homosexuality .Inscription  and pictures that we share on Taj Mahal, Ajanta Ellora  corroborates the race of homosexuality . 

Being neglected and devoid of social rights because you are just not another bigotry in the crowd. Is this to what we say humanity? 

Convictions are always difficult and so is  this .It has been analysed that homosexuality will not only help in controlling the ever growing population but would also support the individual sentiment. Many celebs like American singer Tracy chapman, actor Dan butler, famous pop singer Ricky martin who declared themselves as gay , were not conceited because this world though free don’t have legroom for homosexuals . A member is denied of roof in his own house . 

This value system is deeply ingrained in Indian society and nurtured over several generations. The Indian society displayed that in every aspect of life the government is manifesting in realizing a role in society for everyone. Where society can display inclusiveness and understanding, there such persons can be assured a life of dignity and non discrimination. Our society shouldn’t be captive to the stereotypes and LGBT’s shouldn’t be seen as extraterrestrial ,the changing mindset can change the world. 

It cannot be forgotten that discrimination is converse of equality and this equality exhibitions will foster dignity of every individual.

So many controversies on lottery system in nursery admission, parents get more worried for this session., a report by a MassCoMedia student

Tazeen, Trainee Reporter, MassCoMedia

This is the time to start admission in new session in nursery schools. The lottery system to new admission process in nursery classes has been become the subject of many controversies in this year that is why parents get more worried for their children admission. The central board council saying that it would give more peoples a better chance of entering popular schools. But some schools and parents are against for this admission process. R.K.Morden school’s councilor, Nidhi shrivastav said, “We have already reservation n management quota in admission then why is government making this system. Middle class family’s children are studding in this school but they can’t afford our study. After sometime parents came and said that they can’t afford school’s fee and other charges infect they can’t afford our study material. Then how it is possible for a lower class family. If their children finally get admission through the lottery system, how will they afford our fees and other charges?” She said that she is also against on parent’s interview in admission process because some students are more intelligent but they do not get admission because of their parent’s interview.

                                             Parents get more worried because the admission time has been started and the schools are still waiting for the final decision of board. Anita Giri in noida, a parent, who teach her five years old son Kartik for his admission said, “The admission forms are not out. I have no clue when the decision will come and the new process will start. Actually government gives a golden and lucky chance to those students who do not clear the admission test and interviews and finally they feel embracement infront of their friends and colleague. It’s good for students at least parent will not blame them.” Sunita Giri supports the lottery system but she is also selecting 5 or 6 schools because she doesn’t want to depend on fortune of her son. Shalu shrivastav who has a four years old son Pravesh said, “I am worried about the lottery system. I am teaching my son daily but I don’t know when the decision will come.

That is why I am selecting four or five school. Parents are doing handwork with their children. If their child will not select through the lottery system, not only parents but also children will feel so much embrace. In my opinion it’s not a good step in education system if the government takes but I am happy to know that government still thinking about this system.” Her neighbored Mr. Imran Khan who has a three years old daughter said, “The random selection also has its negative points but now if the name fails to make it in the draw of lottery, we might end up blaming the child. That would be very unfortunate. So point system is better than lottery system.”

               Mostly parent are still waiting the final Decision of education ministry. The system of admitting students to nursery classes through a lottery would not be a fair decision because the brightest student as well as the poorest once lost out through the lottery system. Some schools and parents are like point system more than lottery system and they want to continue the point system in admission process.    

Sari: Symbol of beauty and grace, a feature by a MassCoMedia student

Pratibha Agnihotri, Trainee Reporter, MassCoMedia

The word sari is derived from the Sanskrit word Sati. In the history of Indian clothing the sari is traced back to the Indus Valley Civilization, which flourished during 2800-1800 BC around the western part of the Indian subcontinent. The earliest known depiction of the sari in the Indian subcontinent is the statue of an Indus Valley priest wearing a drape.

In ancient Tamil poems the sari is described as exquisite form of dressing for women. As the time change saree has taken many new forms and variety. It has been the symbol of our traditional form or cultural form of dressing which our ancestor use to give us. The most common style is for the sari to be wrapped around the waist, with the loose end of the drape to be worn over the shoulder, baring the stomach.

The nivi style is today's most popular sari style. The nivi drape starts with one end of the sari tucked into the waistband of the petticoat, usually a plain skirt. The cloth is wrapped around the lower body once, then hand-gathered into even pleats just below the navel. The pleats are also tucked into the waistband of the petticoat. They create a graceful, decorative effect which poets have likened to the petals of a flower.

The Indian sari, believe it or not, is more than 5000 years old! It was first mentioned in Rig Veda, the oldest surviving literature of the world, written somewhere around 3000 BC. The Sari, originally intended both for men and women, is probably the longest incessantly worn dress in the history of mankind. In modern era sari is used as one of the prominent dressing which is stylish & seductive. This old dressing of India has witness many changes with all the trends including the seductive dressing. Other parts of India have their own specialties too, like the bandhani or bandheja saris of Rajasthan and Gujarat, gadhwal silks from Andhra Pradesh and paithanis of Maharashtra. Each sari is identified by the distinctive quality of the silk used and the patterns woven into the saris.

RamLeelas to Multiplexes, a feature on growth of Indian Entertainment Industry by a MassCoMedia student

Upendra Sharma, Trainee Reporter, MassCoMedia 

 Ramlila(plays depicting stories from the Ramayana)Maidan, the place where from many generations we tribute to “The Lord RAMA” by act their stories in proper manner like dresses , make-up, lighting, costumes and sets etc. We saw Ramlila like a big function in month of oct.-november, which connects us directly to that period of Ramayan. “Ramlila” term as by which we present some leelas (activities) of Lord Rama.

In the evening we finish our work, to see Ramlila. We prepare like we are going in a function, to see Ramlila with family, we closely attached with the characters and believe that they are real not artist. Artist also do they work very passionately, they totally admire their character and perform in front of audience very realistically.

But now time has been changed, audience’s interest is going down they feel bore and they move from Ramlila maidan to mall.

Actually we are adopting western culture beside this we forgetting our real culture or our real root and history. Today people are quit interest in Ramlila and the number of audiences also decreases. People more involve in parties, shopping, and other activities. Basically they regret Ramlila and our culture and turn toward the mall. Mall culture is can be main reason for unpopularity of Ramlila these days. Earlier the time was not like that the maidan (ground) was totally full by audience and they relates artists  with the real characters like RAMA,SITA, RAVAN, and HANUMAN.

But today’s condition is Ramlila maidan looking for audiences and mall full by people. Even our reputed personalities and government are not looking this situation. Actually are not interested in Ramlila, they seeing their profit because of this they want to change ‘MAIDAN TO MALL’.

A report published on august 05, 2005 says that, the BJP by demanding that party President L K Advani step down, former Delhi Chief Minister Madan Lal Khurana today trained his guns on the civic authorities claiming that they had secretly tied up with a private company to convert the historic Ram Lila ground into a business complex. 

He claimed that top officials of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) had "selected" a Kolkata-based company for the purpose without inviting bids or informing the standing committee. 

Under the agreement, underground parking lots are to be constructed under business complexes at the Ram Lila and parade grounds, on this account  Khurana said, "Ram Lila (plays depicting stories from the Ramayana)has been enacted on the Ram Lila ground for 150 years and I will not allow it to be converted into a mall".

So, only because of politics & lack of interest in people, we could forget our culture and also spiritual stories (lila / kahaniya of Lord Ram).We need to see what could be best to preserve or secure our culture by this types of programme or activities and by this we can transform our culture, literature and sanskaar to the next generation which is most important for personality growth as well as nation growth.
