I am glad that Ratan Tata had admitted to Betrayal by vested interests
who didn’t let Good Policies implemented for public good ‘quite often
in private sector have changed, delayed or manipulated that policy.’
He should have directly talked to PM & FM than hiring Neera Radia to
counter rivals.

Follower of Guru Nanak ji PM is soft and too gentle – I had a close
encounter with him in 2003 when I asked ‘Can a nation make any
progress when 70% of its population (farmers) get 2% of GDP as Bank
Credit?’ He admitted it is to low and since then there is 10 fold
increase in credit to farmers, MSP was doubled in UPA 1 with Loan
Waivers- but it was not followed by policies to let farmers add value
to there produce – Store, Process and Market.

The differences between 1991 and 2004/2009 was first INC strength in
Lok Sabha – Congress had 50% seats then therefore full authority to
implement any program, 27% in 2004 and 38% in 2009 – there was Common
Minimum Program with stable partners in 2004 and No Program in 2009.

Second companies were not permitted to invest in foreign countries
FERA kept this in check. Since FERA was repealed over $1000b had
flowed out of India that could have added $1000b to Indian GDP.

Ratan Tata himself betrayed India investing over $50b in foreign
countries and not repatriating profits and technologies. I don’t have
the details of latest developments. With the kind of Private Money
atleast one or two states could have come out of poverty line.

Ambani and Jindals were acquiring and hoarding Oil, Gas and Coal blocks,
these could have contributed over $250b to India GDP producing cheap

Jhakhars were three generations of Betrayals – except some tears gave
nothing to Farmers of India or 800m people that is 10 times population
of Germany – they store, process and market their farm produce but
didn’t want all other farmers to do it.

Pitroda an international crook who filed bogus patents was Rasputin in
INC always misleading since 1985 – advising India not to seek Patents.
IPR alone could have contributed $1000b in 10 years to India GDP, 95%
of the technologies we need are not protected in India.

Aruna & Mandher like Jakhars promoted worst option to support poor
hungry & starving – instead of raising Minimum Wages to $1500 annually
so that even a poor family may earn over Rs.100,000 annually,
guranteeing only Rs.5000 as annual food subsidy.

But most shocking was even after Contributing over Rs.50,00,000 crores
to states in 10 years that went in to ‘Drains’ some states demand
‘Backward State Tag’.

Just Foreign Policy
Dear Naresh,
Sign the petition:
Don’t Strike Syria Without Congressional Approval
Take Action
Dear Naresh,
Sign the petition:
Don’t Strike Syria Without Congressional Approval
Take Action
Americans who want to prevent more U.S. wars have a big stake in the enforcement of the War Powers Resolution. The War Powers Resolution was passed to ensure that the President would not be able to use military force, absent an attack on or imminent threat to the United States, without Congressional debate and approval. It’s a key speed bump – perhaps the most crucial speed bump we have in the United States – to prevent a rush to war. [1]
Press reports suggest that the Administration could launch military strikes in Syria within days. Syria has not attacked the United States, and Syria doesn’t represent an imminent threat to the United States. Under the Constitution and the War Powers Resolution, the Administration is not allowed to use military force in this situation without Congressional approval. But no court will intervene. Only political pressure can enforce the War Powers Resolution.
We set up a petition at MoveOn urging President Obama not to attack Syria without Congressional authorization, and urging Congress to insist on a debate and vote before any U.S. military attack on Syria. More than 14,000 people have signed. If you haven’t signed yet, please sign. Please share it with your networks; if you’ve already shared it, please consider doing so again. We set up this petition yesterday morning. By the end of the day, it had 10,000 signatures. We’d like to reach 20,000 signatures by the end of the day today. (I can tell you from conversations with Congressional staff today that they are aware of our petition.)
President Obama: Don’t Strike Syria Without Congressional Approval

http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/president-obama-dont-18?source=c.url&r_by=1135580
It’s crucial for both Democrats and Republicans who care about Congressional war powers to speak up. Some are doing so. Democratic Rep. Barbara Lee tweeted, [2] “Congress needs to have a full debate.” Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine issued a statement [3] saying, “Absent an imminent threat to United States national security, the U.S. should not be engaged in military action without Congressional approval.” Republican Rep. Scott Rigell (VA-02) is circulating a letter to President Obama urging him to seek Congressional approval before taking military action. [4]
The British Parliament has been recalled for a debate and vote on war with Syria. [5] Wouldn’t it be strange if the British Parliament debated and voted, but not the U.S. Congress?
It’s not too late for Congressional debate. There’s no emergency that requires military action while Congress is out of session, and Congress can be recalled at any time, just like the British Parliament.
Add your voice and recruit others:
President Obama: Don’t Strike Syria Without Congressional Approval

Dear Naresh -
It’s been more than a week and MP Sandeep Dikshit from East Delhi hasn’t taken a stand against the dilution of the RTI Act.
The RTI Act might get amended in the next few days.We don’t have much time to save this powerful Act that has helped citizens fight corruption. In 2 days, I will deliver all our signatures to Sandeep Dikshit and ask him to take a stand against the dilution of the RTI Act.
Help me reach 1000 signatures before I deliver my petition to Sandeep Dikshit. Forward my mail below to your friends and family and ask them to sign and share my petition.
Thank you for taking action,
Kanika via Change.org
—-Forwarded message—
Any moment now, our Government will dilute the most powerful weapon we have to fight corruption in India.
This week, the Parliament will be discussingchanges to be made to the Right to Information (RTI) Act. If these changes are made, political parties would be excluded from the RTI Act.
This is a huge setback for our nation. In order to remain free of corruption, all political parties should be transparent and answerable to the public. This won’t happen if the RTI Act is modified.
We need to ensure that influential Members of the Parliament take a stand against this amendment to the RTI Act.
Sandeep Dikshit is popular among the public in Delhi. I started this petition asking MP Sandeep Dikshit from East Delhi to stand against this dilution of the RTI Act.
If he opposes this dilution, the Government will realise that it’s not only the citizens but MPs like Sandeep Dikshit too who demand clean politics.
Last week, Jay Panda, MP from Kendrapara, Orissa took a stand against the amendment of the RTI Act. If thousands of us sign my petition, MP Sandeep would know that his voters and public want him to take a stand.
It’s Sandeep Dikshit’s duty as an MP to support clean, transparent politics. Sign my petition and share it with your friends and family.
Thanks in advance,
Kanika via Change.org

WHO highlights key health issues in South-East Asia
New Delhi, 29 August 2013: Health Ministers from the 11 countries of WHO’s South-East Asia Region will meet in New Delhi from 10 to 13 September to discuss key health issues facing the Region.
The Thirty-first Meeting of Health Ministers of the Region will be held on 10 September. The Health Minister’s Meeting is a forum for exchange of national experiences on the political, social and economic dimensions of health. The meeting is being hosted by Mr Ghulam Nabi Azad, Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare, Government of India.
This will be followed by the Sixty-sixth Session of the WHO Regional Committee for South-East Asia. The Regional Committee is a statutory body comprising the Member countries,* which meets once a year to review progress and regional implications of the World Health Assembly decisions and to map the way forward.
Dr Margaret Chan, WHO Director-General, and Dr Samlee Plianbangchang, WHO Regional Director for South-East Asia, will be present with their team of senior advisers at both meetings. Some of the key technical discussions to be taken up at the two sessions are:
High blood pressure and its health implications. The Meeting of Ministers of Health will discuss ways to address this leading risk factor for mortality in the Region. The ministers are expected to adopt the ‘New Delhi Declaration on High Blood Pressure’.
The Regional Committee Meeting will include discussion on key technical issues, including:
Universal health coverage (UHC). The goal of universal health coverage is to ensure that all people obtain the health services they need without suffering financial hardship when paying for them. Evidence indicates that two areas cause significant inequities and inefficiencies in health in the Region: first, direct out-of-pocket payments for access to care that can push households into poverty; and, second, a significant proportion of these payments go towards the purchase of medicines. Accordingly, the WHO Regional Strategy for Universal Health Coverage recommends that countries strengthen their health systems based on the primary health care approach – focusing on public health including prevention and promotion activities; using appropriate technologies; and based on domestic resources as far as possible.
Targets for prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). NCDs are the leading cause of mortality globally and in the Region. Each year around 7.9 million people die due to NCDs accounting for 55% of all deaths in the Region. The Sixty-sixth World Health Assembly adopted a resolution endorsing the Global Plan of Action for Prevention and Control of NCDs for 2013 to 2020. Nine global voluntary targets were adopted to tackle the four key areas of concern – cardiovascular diseases, cancers, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes. In addition to adopting the nine global voluntary targets, Member States of the South-East Asia Region are expected to consider reduction of household air pollution as an additional target for the Region. The Regional Committee will also deliberate on the Regional Action Plan for Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases.
Measles elimination and rubella control. Measles remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the Region accounting for about half the estimated global measles deaths in 2011. The countries of the Region are expected to set a measles elimination target at the meeting. Most countries of the Region have already reduced measles deaths by 70% by stepping up routine immunization coverage enhanced by supplementary campaigns.
What:
a) Thirty-first Meeting of Ministers of Health of WHO’s South-East Asia Region
b) Sixty-sixth Session of the Regional Committee for South-East Asia
When: 10 – 13 September 2013

Nihaal Bids Adieu to Ek Veer Ki Ardaas Veera
Popular actor Kapil Nirmal aka Nihaal of Star Plus’ Ek Veer Ki Ardaas Veera is all set to bid farewell to the show as his track reaches a logical end.
In the coming episodes Ratan, Ranvvijay and Veera will come to terms with the truth about Nihal being the reason for Sampooran’s(SudhanshuPandey) death. Due to this tragic revelation, the kids and Ratan begin to detest his presence which hurts Nihaal’s sentiments. The truth will reduce everyone to tears forcing Nihal to leave Pritampura.

Let us celebrate the joy
Today, everything is up for auction. The psyche of making money is
killing everything that is intrinsic to humans. It is market and products
all around. People with their beauty and joy of creating and sharing
are disappearing fast. The ‘invisible hand’ is very efficiently putting a
price tag on everything, including human life. Life has become a costbenefit
analysis. This is today’s real calamity: a drought of compassion,
a famine of collective joy. And this too is man-made. Desires of
expression, fellowship and freedom are brutally and systematically
suppressed whereas alienating, divisive and individualistic tendencies
are schematically sponsored. It is not the political institutions alone that
are rotting with corruption, human dignity and identity are also at stake.
The integrity of humans as social and creative being is under serious
threat. The orchestrated onslaught of communal and consumerist
ideologies together make it impossible to recognize people as people.
Hence, IPTA has a much bigger challenge today, more difficult than it
was at the time of its formation 70 years ago. There are more cultural
activists today, but scattered. There are many performances engaging
with today’s ‘cultural calamity’, but mostly sporadic and inconsistent. All
these artists and performances need to come together. Only a symphony
of multiple voices of resistance and freedom can awaken the society
from the slumber of consumerist culture, from the blindness of hatred.
Let’s sing together. Let’s celebrate people’s art. Let’s reclaim joy.
