Image
   Dear Arvind Kejriwal , We know the Delhi Police is not under your control, but why are you showing such a casual gesture at the time of calamity in our city, where people are being targeted based on their identities, they are even killed, also our police officers are being targeted, one of them have lost their life. You know, what can you do in such situation, as you have claimed many times, you are the follower of Mahatma Gandhi. Who had shown many methods and means to registered your protest and how to extend help for the needy people at the time of crisis? Then you must be aware, what can one do? Even if you are no body. But, Sir you are the sitting Chief Minister of Delhi Mr Kejriwal. You have more than 60 members of assembly in Delhi with lakhs of volunteers. Sir, don't be so coward, as you often said you are not for post but to serve or to help the people. This is difficult time for the people of our country and specifically for Delhi, every acts of ...

But, for some times, in our country elections are becoming instruments to encroach the inappropriate power. In our country for quite some time, the elections are no more normal activities, where you need money and god know, what more to fight election at any level. In this city, where I have been associated with more than 15 years, after I migrated from my village in the Bihar. We have election for the state members of legislative Assembly on 8 th of this month, and for almost two months there are something or others happening, to polarize this election, I was trying to understand the undercurrent of the election for couple of weeks, its seem despite of ...

Photo credit: Frank Augstein/Associated Press   United Kingdom finally have exited from the European Union, after 47 years in the association with this club. It was interesting to observed that, how the Britain, who were the main colonizer of the world during industrial revolution or after math. The country was disparate to separate with European Union, even though, opinion of the Britain people had divided on this decision to leave the Union.   There are many issues on the functioning of the European Union, like people of the region claims, this is one more institution for Elite cozy club to rule. Any county can choose according to their own choice or convenience, but, I can see immediate cause and some patterns on this in continuation of post 2008 recession, which was real storm to destabilized the capitalism and finance economy but instead of searching fault lines of current economy system, every one beating around the bush. In the modern economic system ther...

Sal Mubarak twenty20: New Year

  These are the one of most difficult time, for many ordinary citizens of the India. Particularly for the people of Jammu and Kashmir and for those families, who lost life of their loved once during the recent protests, whether in Assam, UP or elsewhere.  This is not new things happening either, our Sisters and Brothers have been facing for long time in the North-Eastern states. People from Indigenous/Adivasi or Dalits being persecuted based on their caste or ethnicity, many time to grab their natural resource in the case of Adivasi.  So, I will remember #DrAmbedkar, who had rightly said, the political democracy alone could not be expected to go very far, if glaring economic and social inequalities remained.#New #Year2020

‘What Happened In Jamia Still Worries Me’

Image
    On the 17 th December around 10pm, I landed at Terminal-3 from my official trip, I  was relax and excited because this was my last business trip for the 2019, but at the same time I have been constantly worried and tense, because, what had happened on 15 th December evening in the Jamia Millia Islamia, This is the my Alma mater and for the last 10 years, I have living in the Jamia Neighborhood. On 15 th December night was difficult for me to sleep in Bhubnwshar, because my family members was in the Delhi around the Jamia Neighborhood, and whatever I had been getting news from my family, friends and from the social media, those were equally disturbing,  for the crack down the students protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act, the way police brutally threshed the students, there were no distinction to the girls or boys students of Jamia. They were treated like criminals, even students, who were never participated in the any kinds of agitation, and...

The new experiment in the Maharashra politics "Maha Vikas Aghadi": Will be an alternative?

Image
     Experiment in Maharashtra state, where all three parties have different approaches for the politics or mobilization of the people. As many political commentators are saying, this is the new age in the Indian politics, where Bharatiya Janata Party is converting themselves in to old days of arrogant Congress. The new government formation under the Uddhav Thackeray is the ultimate result of the overconfidence of Delhi. All the years, I was struggled to understand, why old guards, progressive or socialist leader, despite of knowing that communal origins of the RSS or BJP, they had associated in the past or have political alliances against the then mighty congress. But this doesn’t mean, people will forgive or forgot that kind such historic blunders. Here in Maharashtra, now BJP is in the receiving end after Shiv Sena-Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)-Congress alliance, or Maha Vikas Aghadi, formally took power. This alliance has released common minimum program, which w...

    I was not lucky enough to be educated at JNU or non my family members went to JNU for education. But, my teachers, who were the student of JNU. I can vouch, because they have got training at JNU, so they were great teacher and friend at the same time in the History department of Jamia Millia Islamia, where, I was the first person from my family, who came to Delhi for higher education. I know, many students, who came from far-flung of the India. Even, students both boys/girls, they are from modest family background (socially & economically). But, over the period of time, due to quality education, robust training and support from ecosystem of JNU, which has been established by visionary teachers.   I know, they have achieved commendable place for serving in the private or public sector in India or many of them have been doing good work globally.   The JNU students are fighting for the same ecosystem, which has been working in the campus to ease out the ...
