DEMONS RECITING VEDAS
DrKPrabhakarRao
Dr Manmohan Singh, the Prime Minister of India suddenly needed heart operation while he was PM during his previous tenure The gentleman had undergone a successful bypass surgery at the best hospital and by the best team of doctors at the best point of time. Every one in the country is very happy about it. Why not? He is a distinguished man from the field of economics in the world. When he fell sick and needed the operation, the problem of taking care of the government was a most important consideration. He was indisposed for some time and needed rest. It was thought that it could take a month or two even, to enable him to return to the job. The question was who would be the safe bet for those crucial days. There were some senior leaders in the cabinet who could be entrusted with the duties of acting PM in the absence of Dr Singh. The name of Pranab Mukherjee automatically comes out for such position. He is the most able and competent person and has proven capabilities as per many although some differ.. Even at the time of death of Indira Gandhi his name was heard as a most possible candidate for the post of Prime Ministership. But somehow that could not happen? Rajiv Gandhi was already there as the rightful candidate to the throne for a dynastic succession. Sanjay was already not there who died in air crash in Delhi. How can any other person out of dynasty of Nehru could become the Prime minister when some one was there even when he is a suckling? In past during the days of kings, the infant child of the dead king was put on throne and a regent was arranged. This happened in Hyderabad ( Deccan) when Nizam V Afzauddaula died and his son Mir Mahboob Ali Khan was a minor. A regent was appointed by the council under the supervision of British resident and rest is history. Mir Mahboob ali Khan grew and became a loveable and has gone down history as the most benevolent ruler of Hyderabad
Mukherjee was kept at long distance and Rajiv was pushed- in who was a member of parliament at that time although he had no great experience in the field. One good point in his favor was that he was handsome and youth liked him. As it is, Indian youth are exhausted of seeing tired looking old faces at the helm of affairs. They welcomed Rajiv for a change. change. Poor Mukherjee had to sulk in despair and for some time he went into oblivion.
Present top brass of congress party is very much hesitant to designate Mukherjee as acting PM in the absence of Dr Singh. They gave him additional duties and gave the authority of running the show to the cabinet and vice President. Finance ministry was to be taken care- of by Mr Mukherjee. Credentials of Mukherjee are well known and he is very much respected as a very seasoned leader with proven abilities and maturity although at present the ideas are changing.. It is sad that luck was not with him and in the melee of dynastic succession at the time of Mrs Gandhi’s death, he missed the train. The leadership was scared that if Mukherjee proved himself as a stop gap acting PM, which he would surely do, he would be probably projected as a serious contender soon. throne The chances of Rahul Gandhi who is being prepared to take over as PM would be thus be jeopardized. What a sad state of affairs indeed in a democracy titled as for the people, by the people and of the people by the peers who could not imagine that such things could happen in India. Their souls must be surely crying and beating their chests and crying".... Mera Bharat.. Mera Bharat..nahee rahaa mahaan." It is worthwhile to recall the role of Late Mr Gulzarilal Nanda a true Gandhian as acting PM on two occasions. He came on the scene as a care taker PM and handed over to the real one and vanished unsung and un heard. Only such guys were needed in politics. Poor guy was forgotten and was also seen going on bicycle on the streets of Delhi pushed from pillar to post and lived in miserable conditions. Probably many of his colleagues and juniors would have passed him on motorcades in Delhi not even paying glance at him. If he was in the cabinet now, surely he would have achieved the hat trick.
Rahul Gandhi was systematically inducted into politics step by step and who would refuse such offer when one knows that the country is being offered to be ruled in a silver plate. Dynastic card over rules everything in India whether it is a state or center. Efficiency, education, maturity and worthiness are no criteria when one has the card and stamp of dynasty and some one is there to pull one up. In democracy, every one has equal opportunity to contest, win and achieve positions. Rahul also has the right to become PM. But this is not a straight game. Few souls control the party and everything whirls round the dynastic succession. In this murky game of politics even matured and highly experienced stalwarts of the party make statements that the prince is the only one eligible to become PM and it is time he is introduced while the real PM is already in the chair alive and kicking. It is also too sad when such statements were made when actual Singh was going to operation theater where he had to battle with life. There is no dearth for such sycophants in every party. Finally Mukherjee also would realize the naked facts and reconcile to his future and hopes to become Vice President or President at some point of time if he continues to be a yes man saying yes sir..yes sir three bags full. None for me and all for my master ... Good luck to him. It was also reported that if Rahul was reluctant to climb the throne being a wise man , Priyanka should be inducted to keep the dynastic rule in process. There is no dearth for sychophants in the party. Every one knows that Congress party gets votes based on Gandhis name and not on credentials and work. Therefore all the guys who want to taste power as some minister, highlight the dynasty so that they are given some spoils after victory.
It is very correct to recall a statement made by AP congress President Botsa Satyanarayana recently that Jagan the rebel from Congress party who parted ways and established YSR congress was very eager to become the CM of AP after his fathers death as his real successor. He said that politics are not meant for dynastic succession. He must know that those who stay in glass houses should not throw stones at others. Every one knows what is going on in Congress party and who would be projected as the PM in future if they win ballot next time. This is doubtful after the recent discredit they got with unearthing of scams and public reaction after Annas agitation. Anna also would fight for electoral reforms soon. The country has woken up. Staying in congress party, Botsa has no right to speak about dynastic succession. It is like demons reciting Vedas. In nutshell, Indian democracy has become solely for some, by some and of some people. God bless the nation.

EURO ISLAM, A NEW AND CONSTANT THREAT TO EUROPE AND WORLD PEACE
EURO ISLAM, A NEW AND CONSTANT THREAT TO
EUROPE AND WORLD PEACE
Prof Dr Colonel (Retired) K Prabhakar Rao
Ph D ( Engineering), Ph D ( Political Science), Ph D ( strategic studies)
After emergence of Al Qaeda in the world and WTC 9/11, a new threat has emerged on the scene. It is Euro Islam. The charge of Alqaeda’s slain chief terrorist Osama bin laden released as written document before attack on USA ( 9/11), blames American hegemony and for maintaining military presence in Middle East. He blamed USA for the present ills plaguing the Islamic society. The consequent network of AlQaeda and it’s inspired terrorists have spread world wide with AlQaeda centers operating clandestinely in various countries including USA.
Islamic societies world wide are plagued by fundamentalism and the clergy leaves no stone unturned in stoking the embers in the Friday speeches at congregations for Namaz and Muslim youth greatly are inspired by the Wahaabi inspired Jihadi talk and tread on wrong track of flaming embers. They are unable to realize that only death, destruction, shame, social hatred, humiliation, failure, annihilation and complete disaster awaits them at every inch on this path. However, many are inspired by the religious talk of martyrdom and consequent assured attainment of paradise where they would enjoy all pleasures in the company of hordes of virgins awaiting them in heavens offering all types of heavenly pleasures that they probably could not dream of while alive. For Muslims, religion is the most important and ultimate out of everything in the world and politics and religion are twisted and twined together like a Manila rope and can not exist separately. Turkey is the only exception in the world. Yet, it is not out of internal troubles and is condemned by the fundamentalist Muslim States in Middle East who can not digest liberal western style governing in Turkey. The mullah dominated and juhadi inspired other Islamic countries world wide are surely daggers drawn at Turkey that was transformed into Western style functioning by Ata Turk also called Mustafa Kemal. Europe has sizeable strength of Muslims. Islam initially invaded Spain in Europe from Morocco that is separated by narrow Mediterranean straits of Gibraltar and occupied the country. Many Spaniards were converted to Islam. Churches were demolished and mosques were erected. However the tide reversed and Muslims were driven out by Francs in bitter wars. The eight centuries of Moorish rule ended in 1492. Mosques were reconverted into Churches and some demolished. Bitterness however remained. In recent times, notorious international criminal and mastermind of WTC 9/11, Bin Laden also gave a call for reoccupation of Spain calling it an Islamic land. The Jihadi fundamentalist Muslims suffer with severe heart burn for the loss of Spain that was once occupied by Muslims nearly 1300 years ago. Other Muslims in subcontinent are also not happy that Mughal rule in India was terminated by the East India Company long ago. In recent times, Spain was subjected to acts of terrorism. Madrid bombings in trains are examples in which many innocents died. There is a strong concentrated effort by the terrorists to create problems to Spain. Islam recommends Jihad as religious sanction for liberation of all Muslim lands occupied by Kafirs (All those who are not Muslims). Infact, Student Islamic movement of India (SIMI) an outlawed organization claims India to be a land of Muslims as it was ruled by Muslims till Europeans took over. Therefore, they justify Jihad in India. Unfortunately, Muslims forget that their religion is only 1500 years old while Hinduism and Christianity and an offshoot of Judaism are much older and the corresponding lands were ruled by those who practiced these religions. Muslims thus have no locus standi.They can not claim to me masters of these lands. Fundamentalist Muslims are making concentrated effort to re occupy Spain.
Muslims are found in sizeable numbers in Europe. Following are highlighted (1):-

As per Robert Leiken writing in Foreign affairs, Radical Islam is spreading across Europe among descendants of Muslim immigrants. Disenfranchised and disillusioned by the failure of integration, some European Muslims have taken up jihad against the West. They are dangerous and committed -- and can enter the United States without a visa. The mass immigration of Muslims to Europe was an unintended consequence of post-World War II guest-worker programs. Backed by friendly politicians and sympathetic judges, foreign workers, who were supposed to stay temporarily, benefited from family reunification programs and became permanent. Successive waves of immigrants formed a sea of descendants. Today, Muslims constitute the majority of immigrants in most western European countries, including Belgium, France, Germany, and the Netherlands, and the largest single component of the immigrant population in the United Kingdom. Exact numbers are hard to come by because Western censuses rarely ask respondents about their faith. But it is estimated that between 15 and 20 million Muslims now call Europe home and make up four to five percent of its total population (2).Many are probably not loyal and are inspired by Jihadi philosophy.
The involvement of a growing number of African nationals particularly from Algeria in terrorist activities in North America and Europe has raised questions about their exact motivations and objectives. On balance, their activities do not represent a straightforward externalization of the long-running dispute between the Islamist opposition and the military-backed .government in their native country Algiers, in which violence is used in pursuit of specific political demands. Many Algerians persecuted by their government have taken asylum in west such as in UK and Canada. Some have been brought up there. Rather, the Algerian nationals in West involved appear to be inspired by a set of broader, more vague but also more absolute grievances against the West and its perceived attacks on Islam that are shared by organizations such as al-Qaeda (1). Thus involvement of Algerians abroad is due to inspiration by Al Qaeda. They appear to have fallen into the trap of anti west hatred. The acts of terrorism appears to be more inspired by the theological misguided cause, of- late abetted and much more dangerous to the society and world peace than an organized internal resistance by radicals and fundamentalists through terrorism against Government at home seeking a change.
Prominent French analysts regard the links between the struggle in Algeria and Algerian terrorism overseas as rather loose. They argue that the terrorist phenomenon represented by Algerian nationals – and European citizens of Algerian descent – arises out of these individuals' fraught interactions with European societies and their consequent radicalization in Europe, the US and Canada, rather than from more traditional 'Diaspora' concerns that concentrate on conditions in the homeland. This has been described as a kind of 'Euro Islam' – namely, the growth of a utopian, 'universalized' Islamist vision not confined to recognizable borders but based on an aspirational urge to create an Islamic order wherever Muslims are oppressed or subjected to western strategic interests, most immediately defined as those of the US. European Muslims are increasingly getting motivated by fundamentalist ideology and seek Islamisation of Europe. There is a beeline of Muslims from UK to visit Pakistan and other African Nations from where they could easily go to Terrorist centers. The arrest of European nationals of Pakistani origin in the conspiracy to blow up the America bound air crafts a year ago in London is akin to this phenomenon. Of late many Pakistani nationals settled in UK have turned hostile to the country and have been arrested for plotting terrorist activities in UK. There are two particularly illustrative examples as quoted by International Institute for strategic studies (3). Ahmed Ressam, an Algerian national, was arrested on the Canadian border in mid-1999 driving a car carrying explosives intended for use in an attack on Los Angeles International Airport on 31 December 1999. As a junior member of the Algerian Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) who left Algeria soon after the military crackdown against the FIS in 1992, he fled first to Europe and then Canada. There he was indoctrinated by Islamist circles in Montreal and sent to a training camp in Afghanistan. Djamel Beghal, a French citizen of Algerian descent who was arrested in France in July 2001, was identified after a return flight from Afghanistan. Under interrogation, he made statements – later partly retracted – confessing to having coordinated an al-Qaeda cell in the Paris region with the aim of blowing up the US embassy in Paris – the same plot for which Algerians Baghdad Meziane and Brahim Merzouga, arrested prior to 11 September in Leicester, were sentenced to 11 years' imprisonment in the UK in April 2003. Recently terrorists of Pakistani origin tried for London blasts have been sentenced to forty years of imprisonment.
The recent attack at Glasgow air port in which a burning Cherokee jeep was crashed into the airport terminal has come as bolt from blue to the Indians who were basking in the self glorified secular practices and mutual brotherhood. Some of the accused who were arrested are Indian doctors and Engineers. Kafeel Ahmed who studied Engineering at Bangalore in India masterminded the plot, rigged up the explosives and initiating devices and drove the Cherokee Jeep in to the air port terminal. The computer hard discs recovered by police at his house revealed that he was constantly browsing the internet for the techniques of making bombs and to cause explosions. He was developing the syringe type of initiating the explosion in vehicles. The device used in the Cherokee jeep on the fateful day did not explode and the vehicle got engulfed in flames and he was burnt 90 % in the vehicle when he was arrested. His accomplice and brother, an Indian Doctor practicing in London was arrested who ran out of the jeep with intention of preventing police. They have studied higher education in India and were pursuing further higher studies and profession abroad. Hanif Ahmed another Indian Doctor and a cousin of Kafeel Ahmed practicing in Australia is at present under custody and has been charged for abetting the Glasgow terrorists. Sympathy wave is built up for this person in India. He has been charged by Australian police for handing over the SIM card of his cell phone to the terrorist brothers. Can we believe that he had no clue of things happening? There is a great sympathy in India for this person and it is being widely argued that he is being detained without filing any charge sheet. There are numerous guys in Indian prisons who are being held without filing a charge sheet. What about them? Why this great sympathy for a guy who was accused of abetting terrorism internationally? Many are of the opinion that this is an appeasement tactic to pacify local Muslim population in India. The guy was finally released and sent to India. Probably he would not be return to Australia for the job. Although he has been released he would be under watch for many years to come.
These persons were misguided Muslim youth and are being linked to AlQaeda organization. What a disaster and disgrace? (4) At various forums Indian leaders declared thumping their chests or bosoms like Tarzan (Comics hero by Edgar rice Burroughs) that Indian Muslims were not suspect and were akin to holy cows. To be more liberal, now although all the Muslims are not suspect, a section has already brought disgrace and shame to the nation internationally by resorting to terrorist actions in UK identifying with Euro Islam. Probably, India would be seen as the exporter of terrorism a new credit in international arena. Who will believe now Indian Muslims without suspicion? There will be always a probing eye on them. All these years, India has been considered as the exporter of technical man power to west and also a country targeted western targets in India that is much easier with the type of security and loose that has been suffering terrorism.. This sympathy now would vanish. Indians were considered brainy. What a fall now? Now it would be seen as the exporters of educated terrorists from professional field too to practice Euro Islam in the present context (5).
What made these educated Indians such as Muslim Doctors and Engineers to target western establishments in far off land from India? Why they have not attacked western interests in India with a lack luster administrative chaotic set up in the country, which could have been much easier? Obviously, the section of Muslims in India too is inspired by the clergy and believes that they should do some thing to destroy west that is seen as the biggest villain and enemy of Islam. Any terrorist act done in United Kingdom and America would draw world attention and be seen as a significant achievement. India is a country with limited global interests. It has no global intentions and capabilities either and by and large plays safe like a cat on wall with Islamic causes. At all world forums India backed Muslims as the country has sizeable Muslims. Yasser Arafat who can be called the father of terrorism that he unleashed during his struggle for Palestine shared common platform with Mrs Indira Gandhi the former PM of India during certain summit. His actions of terrorism was overlooked nd aws probably appreciated as freedom struggle against Israel. India was never a dominant, assertive and global power. It was always vacillating; indecisive and meek in its approach in dealing with terrorism and confronting neighbors. They have submitted meekly to foreign invaders and suffered subjugation. It’s people are more interested in doing jobs in other countries, take part in drama, dance and music than holding a sword to colonize other lands.
India is the most worried country in the world when it comes to deal with Muslims whether its own or from other countries. It does more chest beating and propagates self proclaimed missions and MK Gandhi inspired sermons of peace. It has been unable to take tough decisions against this community even when national security was at stake and country was disintegrated in 1947. Certain people of this community made comments amounting to treason that were against national policy and interests of the country. In any other country such persons would have been tried for treason and sent to long term prison or even gallows summarily. In India, secularism is generally believed to be identified with persecution of majority community and endless appeasement of minorities. India has sizeable Muslim population whose elders chose to stay in India after voting for Pakistan in 1947 and India does not want to do any thing that could hurt sentiments of Muslims and that would probably hurt the peaceless ever wandering and and eternal restless hovering soul of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Father of nation) deprived of life by Nathuram Godse many years ago immediately after partition. It is unable to hang the anti national terrorist Afzal who engineered the attack on Indian Parliament few years ago (6). It has let off some Muslim terrorists on the pretext of good conduct in Andhra Pradesh obviously after having been influenced and to be goody and nice to minority community who was imprisoned after court verdicts and they again were involved in terrorist activities. These men were responsible for killing a Police officer of IPS (Indian Police Service) cadre in a shoot out in Hyderabad city. In a country like England, the punishment for killing a police officer is always death and is implemented ruthlessly while in India the offender got Scot free. These Muslims who have global terrorist interests have no interests in India to attack western interests and find it safe haven for their nefarious activities. They prefer to target bigger fish like England and USA in their own lands while being calm in India and making it a good base for nefarious activities. Euro Islam thus too has found a base in India. The myth of terrorism emanating out of poverty has been thrown out and educated youth and professionals too are inspired by the clergy and they see Islam to be in danger and consider America, England and other Western countries as the greatest villains on the earth and attribute all causes to West. Thus Euro Islam has become greater threat in the world.
The point to note is that wherever Muslims are present in sizeable numbers (even in Europe) there is a strong scope for trouble as they are much more vulnerable to propaganda, inspirational speeches, intolerance and rise of fundamentalism. They identify themselves as separate identity by sporting beards, Taliban type turbans, Pathan kurtas, achkans, Chudidar (tight) pyjamas, loose short pajamas, long loose shirts, Burqas, veils, chadars ( Shawls), Sherwanis ( Long tight collarless coat) Fez caps, Turkey caps and white laced skull caps. They prefer not to mix up with general society by and large and withdraw into their fox holes. Religious closeness results in rise of inevitable fundamentalism and bigotry in such communities and present world events are the real proofs (7). Although many European and American Muslims are reportedly peace loving and do not subscribe to the views of Osama Bin Laden, there are many who do subscribe to such extreme views and larger peace loving community is always disturbed by such short sighted fundamentalists till they are put to rest. Euro Islam drifting towards terrorism has become a greater threat particularly in Europe and needs to be curbed with iron hand. The liberal policies of west have been misused by the immigrant Muslims and their offspring. On the contrary, Islamic nations are closed to outsiders and do not extend same liberties or facilities to those from outside. In some of these nations, either one has to convert or die. They are not tolerant to other religions in their lands but expect that others should tolerate them. Infact Wahhabi thought propagates that others have no place in the world.
There is a definite need by European nations to make immigration more difficult and fool proof to prevent entry of unwanted characters and fraudulent people, even if they are highly qualified being professionals in to their countries in search of education, jobs, research, business and other activities where they indulge in nefarious activities and spread religious hatred. Myth is now blown up that highly educated and professionals would not subscribe to terrorism. They could be from India, Pakistan, Banglkladesh, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Middle East and many more countries. Many would be home grown in Europe indoctrinated by the Muslim clergy and suffering mental aberrations and hallucinations towards achieving world Islamic State. However these provisions would cause heart burning to third world countries where every Tom, Dick, Harry, Jack, Jill, Bob and Simson wants to run to UK or America to earn dollars or pounds sterling and get green card, be among whites, marry an innocent white woman ignorant of their real intentions and identity and settle there. Out of these, some surely turn anti west and indulge in nefarious activities and bite the hand that feeds them. Such people should be identified and punished and examples should be made out of them. No other examples are necessary than Kafeel Ahmed and his doctor brother from India who indulged in terrorist acts at Glasgow air port. These men are in no way less than those who piloted the planes and crashed into twin towers in New York killing scores of innocent people. There may be many in pipe line to repeat the acts of Kafeel Ahmed. Who knows? Such people and their accomplices should not be shown any mercy as they are the enemies of mankind. They look sophisticated, stylish, well dressed and posh looking with black hearts.

dressed in western style, speak English with European or American accent and yet remain fundamentalist in the heart to core and plan death to west.

This has been described as a kind of 'Euro Islam' – namely, the growth of a utopian, 'universalized' Islamist vision not confined to recognizable borders but based on an aspirational urge to create an Islamic order wherever Muslims are oppressed or subjected to western strategic interests, most immediately defined as those of the US. European Muslims are increasingly getting motivated by fundamentalist ideology and seek Islamisation of Europe. There is a beeline of Muslims from UK to visit Pakistan and other African Nations from where they could easily go to Terrorist centers. The arrest of European nationals of Pakistani origin in the conspiracy to blow up the America bound air crafts a year ago in London is akin to this phenomenon. Of late many Pakistani nationals settled in UK have turned hostile to the country and have been arrested for plotting terrorist activities in UK. There are two particularly illustrative examples as quoted by International Institute for strategic studies (3). Ahmed Ressam, an Algerian national, was arrested on the Canadian border in mid-1999 driving a car carrying explosives intended for use in an attack on Los Angeles International Airport on 31 December 1999. As a junior member of the Algerian Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) who left Algeria soon after the military crackdown against the FIS in 1992, he fled first to Europe and then Canada. There he was indoctrinated by Islamist circles in Montreal and sent to a training camp in Afghanistan. Djamel Beghal, a French citizen of Algerian descent who was arrested in France in July 2001, was identified after a return flight from Afghanistan. Under interrogation, he made statements – later partly retracted – confessing to having coordinated an al-Qaeda cell in the Paris region with the aim of blowing up the US embassy in Paris – the same plot for which Algerians Baghdad Meziane and Brahim Merzouga, arrested prior to 11 September in Leicester, were sentenced to 11 years' imprisonment in the UK in April 2003. Recently terrorists of Pakistani origin tried for London blasts have been sentenced to forty years of imprisonment.
The recent attack at Glasgow air port in which a burning Cherokee jeep was crashed into the airport terminal has come as bolt from blue to the Indians who were basking in the self glorified secular practices and mutual brotherhood. Some of the accused who were arrested are Indian doctors and Engineers. Kafeel Ahmed who studied Engineering at Bangalore in India masterminded the plot, rigged up the explosives and initiating devices and drove the Cherokee Jeep in to the air port terminal. The computer hard discs recovered by police at his house revealed that he was constantly browsing the internet for the techniques of making bombs and to cause explosions. He was developing the syringe type of initiating the explosion in vehicles. The device used in the Cherokee jeep on the fateful day did not explode and the vehicle got engulfed in flames and he was burnt 90 % in the vehicle when he was arrested. His accomplice and brother, an Indian Doctor practicing in London was arrested who ran out of the jeep with intention of preventing police. They have studied higher education in India and were pursuing further higher studies and profession abroad. Hanif Ahmed another Indian Doctor and a cousin of Kafeel Ahmed practicing in Australia is at present under custody and has been charged for abetting the Glasgow terrorists. Sympathy wave is built up for this person in India. He has been charged by Australian police for handing over the SIM card of his cell phone to the terrorist brothers. Can we believe that he had no clue of things happening? There is a great sympathy in India for this person and it is being widely argued that he is being detained without filing any charge sheet. There are numerous guys in Indian prisons who are being held without filing a charge sheet. What about them? Why this great sympathy for a guy who was accused of abetting terrorism internationally? Many are of the opinion that this is an appeasement tactic to pacify local Muslim population in India. The guy was finally released and sent to India. Probably he would not be return to Australia for the job. Although he has been released he would be under watch for many years to come.
These persons were misguided Muslim youth and are being linked to AlQaeda organization. What a disaster and disgrace? (4) At various forums Indian leaders declared thumping their chests or bosoms like Tarzan (Comics hero by Edgar rice Burroughs) that Indian Muslims were not suspect and were akin to holy cows. To be more liberal, now although all the Muslims are not suspect, a section has already brought disgrace and shame to the nation internationally by resorting to terrorist actions in UK identifying with Euro Islam. Probably, India would be seen as the exporter of terrorism a new credit in international arena. Who will believe now Indian Muslims without suspicion? There will be always a probing eye on them. All these years, India has been considered as the exporter of technical man power to west and also a country targeted western targets in India that is much easier with the type of security and loose that has been suffering terrorism.. This sympathy now would vanish. Indians were considered brainy. What a fall now? Now it would be seen as the exporters of educated terrorists from professional field too to practice Euro Islam in the present context (5).
What made these educated Indians such as Muslim Doctors and Engineers to target western establishments in far off land from India? Why they have not attacked western interests in India with a lack luster administrative chaotic set up in the country, which could have been much easier? Obviously, the section of Muslims in India too is inspired by the clergy and believes that they should do some thing to destroy west that is seen as the biggest villain and enemy of Islam. Any terrorist act done in United Kingdom and America would draw world attention and be seen as a significant achievement. India is a country with limited global interests. It has no global intentions and capabilities either and by and large plays safe like a cat on wall with Islamic causes. At all world forums India backed Muslims as the country has sizeable Muslims. Yasser Arafat who can be called the father of terrorism that he unleashed during his struggle for Palestine shared common platform with Mrs Indira Gandhi the former PM of India during certain summit. His actions of terrorism was overlooked nd aws probably appreciated as freedom struggle against Israel. India was never a dominant, assertive and global power. It was always vacillating; indecisive and meek in its approach in dealing with terrorism and confronting neighbors. They have submitted meekly to foreign invaders and suffered subjugation. It’s people are more interested in doing jobs in other countries, take part in drama, dance and music than holding a sword to colonize other lands.
India is the most worried country in the world when it comes to deal with Muslims whether its own or from other countries. It does more chest beating and propagates self proclaimed missions and MK Gandhi inspired sermons of peace. It has been unable to take tough decisions against this community even when national security was at stake and country was disintegrated in 1947. Certain people of this community made comments amounting to treason that were against national policy and interests of the country. In any other country such persons would have been tried for treason and sent to long term prison or even gallows summarily. In India, secularism is generally believed to be identified with persecution of majority community and endless appeasement of minorities. India has sizeable Muslim population whose elders chose to stay in India after voting for Pakistan in 1947 and India does not want to do any thing that could hurt sentiments of Muslims and that would probably hurt the peaceless ever wandering and and eternal restless hovering soul of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Father of nation) deprived of life by Nathuram Godse many years ago immediately after partition. It is unable to hang the anti national terrorist Afzal who engineered the attack on Indian Parliament few years ago (6). It has let off some Muslim terrorists on the pretext of good conduct in Andhra Pradesh obviously after having been influenced and to be goody and nice to minority community who was imprisoned after court verdicts and they again were involved in terrorist activities. These men were responsible for killing a Police officer of IPS (Indian Police Service) cadre in a shoot out in Hyderabad city. In a country like England, the punishment for killing a police officer is always death and is implemented ruthlessly while in India the offender got Scot free. These Muslims who have global terrorist interests have no interests in India to attack western interests and find it safe haven for their nefarious activities. They prefer to target bigger fish like England and USA in their own lands while being calm in India and making it a good base for nefarious activities. Euro Islam thus too has found a base in India. The myth of terrorism emanating out of poverty has been thrown out and educated youth and professionals too are inspired by the clergy and they see Islam to be in danger and consider America, England and other Western countries as the greatest villains on the earth and attribute all causes to West. Thus Euro Islam has become greater threat in the world.
The point to note is that wherever Muslims are present in sizeable numbers (even in Europe) there is a strong scope for trouble as they are much more vulnerable to propaganda, inspirational speeches, intolerance and rise of fundamentalism. They identify themselves as separate identity by sporting beards, Taliban type turbans, Pathan kurtas, achkans, Chudidar (tight) pyjamas, loose short pajamas, long loose shirts, Burqas, veils, chadars ( Shawls), Sherwanis ( Long tight collarless coat) Fez caps, Turkey caps and white laced skull caps. They prefer not to mix up with general society by and large and withdraw into their fox holes. Religious closeness results in rise of inevitable fundamentalism and bigotry in such communities and present world events are the real proofs (7). Although many European and American Muslims are reportedly peace loving and do not subscribe to the views of Osama Bin Laden, there are many who do subscribe to such extreme views and larger peace loving community is always disturbed by such short sighted fundamentalists till they are put to rest. Euro Islam drifting towards terrorism has become a greater threat particularly in Europe and needs to be curbed with iron hand. The liberal policies of west have been misused by the immigrant Muslims and their offspring. On the contrary, Islamic nations are closed to outsiders and do not extend same liberties or facilities to those from outside. In some of these nations, either one has to convert or die. They are not tolerant to other religions in their lands but expect that others should tolerate them. Infact Wahhabi thought propagates that others have no place in the world.
There is a definite need by European nations to make immigration more difficult and fool proof to prevent entry of unwanted characters and fraudulent people, even if they are highly qualified being professionals in to their countries in search of education, jobs, research, business and other activities where they indulge in nefarious activities and spread religious hatred. Myth is now blown up that highly educated and professionals would not subscribe to terrorism. They could be from India, Pakistan, Banglkladesh, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Middle East and many more countries. Many would be home grown in Europe indoctrinated by the Muslim clergy and suffering mental aberrations and hallucinations towards achieving world Islamic State. However these provisions would cause heart burning to third world countries where every Tom, Dick, Harry, Jack, Jill, Bob and Simson wants to run to UK or America to earn dollars or pounds sterling and get green card, be among whites, marry an innocent white woman ignorant of their real intentions and identity and settle there. Out of these, some surely turn anti west and indulge in nefarious activities and bite the hand that feeds them. Such people should be identified and punished and examples should be made out of them. No other examples are necessary than Kafeel Ahmed and his doctor brother from India who indulged in terrorist acts at Glasgow air port. These men are in no way less than those who piloted the planes and crashed into twin towers in New York killing scores of innocent people. There may be many in pipe line to repeat the acts of Kafeel Ahmed. Who knows? Such people and their accomplices should not be shown any mercy as they are the enemies of mankind. They look sophisticated, stylish, well dressed and posh looking with black hearts.

WE ARE KILLING OURSELVES
WE ARE KILLING OURSELVES
Dr K Prabhakar Rao
Hindu society is being eaten away from with in than the damage done by outside agencies today. It is like white ants destroying clothes in an almirah. The existing caste system in Hinduism no doubt is being exploited by the minority communities for conversion of Hindus into their fold. Particularly Dalits have fallen a prey due to the evil of caste that has become a part of Hinduism. Secondly, certain selfish political parties are thriving on hatred towards upper castes. Emergence of Bahujan party in North India is an example apart from similar agencies in other states. Some national parties thrive on dividing the society playing caste and religious card to capture votes and it is their pastime and time honored tradition and manifesto too. . The members of society no doubt aggrieved, vote for such parties blindly out of hated towards other castes and the parties come to political power and divide the society further. Reservations in the country has not removed social division and in fact has got further strengthened .The provision of reservation is being renewed again and again and merit has been buried miles deep long ago in this country.
The party that thrives on appeasement of minorities purely for vote bank turns a Nelson’s eye to clandestine immigration of Muslims in to Eastern India damaging the social structure. It is almost true that these states would finally lead to demand of greater Bangladesh if not checked even to day. It is known that Bangladesh based Jahangir University and Pak intelligence agencies such as ISI are working together to carve out Moghalistan by linking Pakistan and Bangldesh through north Indian states running through Assam, UP, Bihar, Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan and Punjab. This is seen as a major step towards Islamization of India. Marriages with local Muslims also are complicating the issue. Many Bangladeshis clandestinely settle In Hyderabad in the state of AP and eastern states, get married to local girls, multiply and merge with the society. On the whole, the society is seriously damaged from within. Why blame outsiders? We have to blame ourselves. It is sad that our Hindu religious heads of various Institutions ( Peethams) even do not have a common view and platform and unity while Muslim religious heads converge. Forces that converge add up vectorially and become strong and forces that diverge get weak and loose identity. This is the law of statics in nature.The situation in north Eastern states such as Nagaland, Meghalaya, Tripura etc is no good and intense efforts are made by Christian missionaries to woo Hindus into their religion.
It is also said when an Hindu converts, the question is not loosing one Hindu, but that one Hindu hater has increased. Islam does not give any credit to ancestors of those who convert into Islam. They are considered as dwellers of hell. The convertees are prohibited from praying to their ancestors. The story of Kalapahad in the service of Bengal Nawabs who attacked Orissa during the times of Emperor Akbar in 16 century stands as testimony to a fact that when a Hindu converts to other religion opposition strength is increased. Kalapahad was a Hindu Kayasth ( Some claim him to a Brahmin)named Rajiv Lochan Roy and he converted to Islam on certain issues on which he clashed with Brahmins of Orissa. Rajiv Lochan Ray was the General in the service of a Orissa Hindu king and he was lured into a love affair by Sultan of Bengal involving his daughter. TheSultan realized that unless the brave Rajiv Lochan was pulled away from the Hindu king, he would not be able to defeat him. So he made plans. Initially he refused to convert to Islam when sultan offered his daughter and suggested that his daughter be admitted to Hinduism. His proposal was rejected by the Hindu king and Brahmins too. In anger, the youth converted to Islam and married sultan”s daughter. He harbored deep hatred towards Hindus and particularly Brahmins. Subsequently, he took service with the Nawab of Bengal and became a General. He invaded Orissa with his army and destroyed most of Hindu temples and sculpture and idols. He developed great hatred towards the Hindus in Orissa. The destruction of Kalinga temples all over the sate and defacing of grand Kalinga sculptures including the damage to great Konark temple is attributed to him. Very important shrines such as Jagannath temple, Lingaraja temple, Raja rani temple were the main targets. Nothing was left unvandalisded by Kalapahad. He became a Hindu hater to the core and was probably more cruel than Muslims who invade India in the past.
Holy Koran is very clear on this aspect. It states that a converted Muslim can not have any loyalty or love to his ancestors as they were infidels and dwellers of hell. Hindus are lured by minorities into their religions by inducements, financial help and jobs. Constant anti Hindu propaganda against Hinduism is doing great damage. In medieval times during Muslim invasions, no doubt many helpless Hindus were forced to embrace Islam by threat and inducements. Now there is no such threat. But conversions go on by inducements and highlighting social discrimination in society. However some scholars claim that in past, conversions were due to acceptance of Islam as a superior one and those were attracted to it. Their contentions are again disputed by others. Naturally who go out of Hinduism have grudge against their parent religion . Opposition to Hinduism increases on all fronts. This is exactly happening in India. As conversions go on , Hindu society is getting weakened day by day. We are killing ourselves rather rapidly by our own foolishness and ill conceived policies of selfish leaders devoid of any vision and Grey matter in the empty skulls with an aim to stay in power all the time..

ON WILD GOOSE CHASE
ON WILDGOOSE CHASE
Dr K Prabhakar Rao
Annaji has fallen prey to the mischivous machinations of the rulers who gave a vague promise that his demands would be referred to a standing committee. In past many laws were passed without referring to standing committee.Who would man this committee. God knows it. Again it will be stage managed. Every one no doubt was worried about Annas health and it was time for him to call off the fast. General Patton said that there was no point dying for the country and no one has won a war by dying for his country.. One must make others to die for their country. The message has gone home by the great pubic reaction. Anna should not sacrifice his life. But he must throw the corrupt and incompetent leaders out into wilderness. If he can do ninety percent of the present shit will be removed and flushed into the toilets.. Parliamnet is supreme no doubt in any democracy. But does Democracy exist in India?If some giy feels happy that he is living in a place where democracy is being practiced he is a fool. Where is the democracy in Congress party? Every one knows what happens there. All are great puppets, strings being pulled by some one. Other parties are no different. They may be a shade better. The leaders who are in parliament are not being trusted at present by any one. The way they made attempts to do character assassination of Hazare is noteworthy to be recorded in black ink in black Indian history. There could be some honest men there too in the houses. In yore, there were some good Rakhasas too like Prahlada the son of Hiranya Kasipa. Marcicha was also a good Rakshasa who advised Ravana correctly, but was forced to play his game and was killed in the process. Trijata was a good Rakshasi who took care of Sita mata.Bali also was a good asura. Vibheeshana was no doubt a very good Rakshasa. Thus in parlaiment also there would be some good and honest persons. But such persons are very few and as stated by Anna too, there are scores of members who are facing criminal proceedings. Then how one can expect fair play in these houses? Rajya sabha gets members for whom it is refugee camp and resttlement place. It is a place for politically invalid men ( Not necessarily physically invalid). Probably Anna soon would realize that he has been hoodwinked ( taken on camel ride) to break his fast. He will be a sad person after that and all these leaders and rulers would enjoy doing more and more scams in next few years this time being careful trying not to get caught.. Anna can not repeat the trick again and again. It becomes joke then. Under any case, they will be thrown out in next elections to go on leather hunt..

WHAT NEXT TO ANNAJI?
WHAT NEXT TO ANNJI ?
Dr K Prabhakar Rao
The elected representatives in India whether they are elected to parliament or State assemblies do not want any accountability.Once they get elected after hood winking the voters with many promises, they turn Nelsons eyes to the peoples woes. Their first priority invariably would be make up the money they invested for elections and then amass wealth for future.The political process is vitiated highly in this nation and the present conflict with people is the result of years of misgoverning by the rulers.The situation is same at all levels whether we consider the local municipal bodies or parliament.Corruption has become a part of the daily life and is a routine matter in the present days.Gone are the days of MK Gandhi when he preached morals and to great extent practiced too.He was also after all a human being and also suffered some deficiencies that no one wants to highlight.The agitation of Annaji has become great irksome to the rulers. They are very badly caught on wrong foot. In fact they tried to convert into a law and order problem and partly succeeded with Ramdev Baba's fast. Anna took over where Baba left and the peoples reaction and participation was beyond expectation and govt got into jitters. In fact they know that their days are numbered.But they are taking shelter under the rights of parliament and superiority of the Parliament.They are scared that the agitation is anti democratic and dictatorial.To a great extent the agitation became successful in view of Annaji'ss credibility. After him there is none to lead such protests. Probably after MK Gandhi, This is the first time that people participated in such great numbers and world reacted in favor of Anna. The point of contention is that Annaji is already old and can not sustain these sufferings for long time. After him what will happen.Another important person of equal credibility is Bab Amte. He has different programmes and was silent during this struggle. Rest of the leaders who move around with Anna may have some credibility as honest men, but can not inspire the nation as Anna did.The political parties are wolves to grab something that comes across for their rise. Political parties can not lead such agitations as members of these parties are of doubtful nature and people have no confidence in them. They are seen as opportunists.There may be an isolated exceptions making no impact. Thus we see that the question would be what next after Anna?
THE STORY OF TREACHERY... FALL OF GOLCONDA
STORY OF TREACHERY…. FALL OF GOLCONDA
Dr K Prabhakar Rao
The fort of Golconda lay seized for ten long months
Alamgir the emperor led the mighty Mughal force
The sultan drew the wrath of Emperor although he was a Muslim
As Alamgir wanted to erase Shiites without remorse
Sultan Tanasha was a popular ruler in Deccan
For whom Muslims and Hindus were alike
The state was on the path of prosperity and peace
Yet entire thing was to emperor’s dislike
Madanna was the popular Prime Minister of the state
While his brother was the General of the force
Palace intrigues were many that led to treason
And Akkanna and Madanna were killed without remorse
Some say Tanasha had a hand in these killings
History of course blames the queens for the treacherous deed
Mighty fort held on for many months after the deaths
Yet the fort held on till a guy was traced full of greed
Abdulla Pani was a small time commander in the fort
Who fell for the riches the emperor offered him
Treachery was in his blood flowing in his veins
At an odd hour in the night he opened a door in light that was dim
Mughals sneaked into the fort through small door
Fought their way to the main gate of massive fort
The gates were swung open by Mughal soldiers
While the mighty Mughal army flooded entrance and sally port
Abdul Razak Lari was the commander of Golconda army
He fought tooth and nail at gate and fell with hundred wounds
He bled for the master and to save the fort and was duty bound
The fort fell to Mughals with treachery while valor failed
Razak was treated with respect and given medical aid by the emperor
Alamgir offered him service in his force as commander of repute
The true son of Golconda politely refused the offer
And spent rest of his life in peace and his devotion is beyond dispute
NOTE.. Golconda (Very Near to Present Hyderabad) under the rule of Abul Hasan Kutubshah ( Tanasha) was invaded by Aurangzeb the Mughal emperor in 1686 and after it’s fall was annexed to his empire. Golconda fought very bitterly and bravely and did not surrender. Inspite of the assassination of Akkanna ( General) and Madanna ( PM) in the fort by the conspirators, the fort held on for many months. The fort was betrayed by a small time commander Abdullah pani. The Sultan was interned at Daulatabad fort for rest of his life. He died in confinement. With arrest of Tanasha, Kutubshahi dynasty was extinguished. Alamgir extinguished Deccani kingdoms and Marathas were his main enemies for rest of his life. Deccan became his waterloo. Aurangzeb died in 1707 as a failed emperor, tired, exhausted, ashamed, friendless, under remorse and unable to defeat Maratahas. The country was saved from a wretched soul who killed his own brothers, arrested aged father, played all tricks throughout his life, practiced cruelty and fundamentalism. No tear was probably shed for him.
Dr K Prabhakar Rao
The fort of Golconda lay seized for ten long months
Alamgir the emperor led the mighty Mughal force
The sultan drew the wrath of Emperor although he was a Muslim
As Alamgir wanted to erase Shiites without remorse
Sultan Tanasha was a popular ruler in Deccan
For whom Muslims and Hindus were alike
The state was on the path of prosperity and peace
Yet entire thing was to emperor’s dislike
Madanna was the popular Prime Minister of the state
While his brother was the General of the force
Palace intrigues were many that led to treason
And Akkanna and Madanna were killed without remorse
Some say Tanasha had a hand in these killings
History of course blames the queens for the treacherous deed
Mighty fort held on for many months after the deaths
Yet the fort held on till a guy was traced full of greed
Abdulla Pani was a small time commander in the fort
Who fell for the riches the emperor offered him
Treachery was in his blood flowing in his veins
At an odd hour in the night he opened a door in light that was dim
Mughals sneaked into the fort through small door
Fought their way to the main gate of massive fort
The gates were swung open by Mughal soldiers
While the mighty Mughal army flooded entrance and sally port
Abdul Razak Lari was the commander of Golconda army
He fought tooth and nail at gate and fell with hundred wounds
He bled for the master and to save the fort and was duty bound
The fort fell to Mughals with treachery while valor failed
Razak was treated with respect and given medical aid by the emperor
Alamgir offered him service in his force as commander of repute
The true son of Golconda politely refused the offer
And spent rest of his life in peace and his devotion is beyond dispute
NOTE.. Golconda (Very Near to Present Hyderabad) under the rule of Abul Hasan Kutubshah ( Tanasha) was invaded by Aurangzeb the Mughal emperor in 1686 and after it’s fall was annexed to his empire. Golconda fought very bitterly and bravely and did not surrender. Inspite of the assassination of Akkanna ( General) and Madanna ( PM) in the fort by the conspirators, the fort held on for many months. The fort was betrayed by a small time commander Abdullah pani. The Sultan was interned at Daulatabad fort for rest of his life. He died in confinement. With arrest of Tanasha, Kutubshahi dynasty was extinguished. Alamgir extinguished Deccani kingdoms and Marathas were his main enemies for rest of his life. Deccan became his waterloo. Aurangzeb died in 1707 as a failed emperor, tired, exhausted, ashamed, friendless, under remorse and unable to defeat Maratahas. The country was saved from a wretched soul who killed his own brothers, arrested aged father, played all tricks throughout his life, practiced cruelty and fundamentalism.

INTO THE PAST WITH PAIN...241
INTO THE PAST WITH PAIN..241
Dr K Prabhakar Rao
(Gandhi, Nehru and Patel are at Delhi and are near Ramlila Maidan)
Gandhi. Patel. We have to go fast and see Hazare as early as possible.
Patel. OK Bapu, Jawaharlal, please hurry up.
Nehru. Ok. I am also keen.
Gandhi. I am happy that after me, there is a guy again in the news who has stirred the nation like I have done.
Patel. True.
Nehru. But he is almost blackmailing the govt.
Gandhi. How it is black mailing? He is raising voice against corruption.
Patel. Till date, no one has done like this. Every time a scam was revealed, it was brushed under carpet with some enquiry as they have done with Bofors. They could not punish any one. Katrochi has been let off and all cases are now withdrawn. Guys who made money escaped.
Gandhi. Will it be same for the 2 G scam now?
Patel. We have to see. At present, some guys like Raja and daughter of Karunanidhi are cooling heels in jail. But I am doubtful some thing will come out of these things. They are giving very long rope to all these scamsters.
Gandhi. I am also getting worried.
Patel. Bapu. You know Justice Sen has been recommended for impeachment by Rajya Sabha. Now it has to pass thorough Lok sabha. Once it is done, he will be impeached.
Gandhi. I think this is the first time that a guy has been impeached at the house of elders.
Patel. That was possible because he was not a political leader. If he was a political leader no one could have touched him. Could any thing be done to political leaders in past. At best they resigned. If he threatened to break party with many other MLA or MPs with him things were swallowed.
Gandhi. It is very true. The present scams have occurred due to this situation. Even Dr Manmohan singh once said that due to coalition politics, he kept quiet. That means many things were allowed to be overlooked to keep govt going. Scams were allowed too. Many things were over looked. Free loot went on for years at all levels. People in power made money left right and center.
Patel. What a shame!
Gandhi. At last some guy has come up to teach things to the corrupt guys. Even I could not do that in my time.
Nehru. Where was the time for you? You kicked bucket before any governing started.
Gandhi. True. I was sure that you would guide the country correctly.
Nehru. I did best.
Patel. Every one in this country knows what you did.
Nehru. Are you sarcastic? It sounds like that.
Patel. You know it better.
(The trio now enters the Ramlila Maidan ( wide ground). Surging crowds are present at the ground. Most of them are donning Gandhi caps with letters… Anna we are with you.. Long live Anna. Every where Ramdhun is being played. They are shouting Annaji ki jai.. Vande mataram, Bharat mata ki jai, Jo hamse takrayega.. mitti mein miljayega.
Gandhi. Oh! What a scene! It looks as if freedom struggle is again going on.
Patel. Anna already declared that the second freedom struggle has been launched. He said that the country has to be freed from corrupt governing. The Englishmen have left us. But still worst guys are ruling us at every corner of the country. The Englishmen were alien. They looted our country for few centuries and then left. Of course they streamlined the country and established governing methods. For them, nothing was left to loot in this country. But, the present guys in power are looting everything being the country men. These guys are experts in looting. It is called chorakala in Telugu.
Gandhi. Patel. You are correct and great.
Patel. Bapu. I am not that great. I am only after you.
Nehru. Will you stop praising each other? I am getting vexed up.
Patel. Why are you getting upset? Please do not worry. I will ask Bapu to praise you too.
Gandhi. Please find out Patel. How is Anna? He is an old guy.
( Patel goes to some guys and finds out about Anna’s health. He returns.)
Patel. Bapu. Anna Has become weak. Doctors have advised him to be hospitalized. He is refusing. Recently some religious leaders like Ravi shankar met him too.
Gandhi. What will happen if he becomes serious?
Patel. Probably govt will forcefully feed him.
Gandhi. Will they do it? They are scared guys now.
Patel. This is a final battle. If Hazare breaks fast, it becomes a problem. The tempo will die. It will be again difficult to build up the tempo.
Gandhi. But the old man has to be saved some how,. He has to live to fight further.
Patel. It is also true.
Gandhi. Shall we go to him?
Patel. We may not be allowed.
Gandhi. Why? Tell them that I am father of nation waiting to see him.
Patel. Bapu. No one will believe us. They think that we are from a drama party and we are dressed like them. Any how I shall try.
( Patel goes to the place close to Anna and he is stopped by few volunteers. They are Ramu, Laxman, and Bharat, Shatrghan and Bajrang)
Ramu. Hey. Where are you going?
Patel. I am Patel the iron man of India. Bapu and Jawaharlal are waiting to see Annaji.
Laxman. We never heard such names. Who is this new Gandhi?
Patel. Look at your cap. What it is called?
Bharat. It is called Gandhi Cap.
Patel. The one who invented this cap was original Gandhi. He has come now.
Bajrang. I heard that the original Gandhi died long ago after partition in 1948. He was slain by Nathuram Godse.
Patel. Very correctly said. The same Gandhi has come now. We are his friends. We want to see Annaji.
Laxman. Be careful. These guys could be tricksters. They may harm Annaji. Please do not allow them.
Patel. Why should we harm him? We are also like him.
(Hearing the commotion some senior organizers arrive and enquire .They are Hari and Sarangi )
Hari. Look brothers. Annaji is very weak. It is better not to disturb him.
Patel. We shall see him for a minute and then go.
Sarangi. Look Hari, Let us take these guys to Annaji. They are very old guys.
Hari. OK.
( The trio is taken to Annaji who is lying on a bed fasting. He is surrounded by many aides and some doctors too. Hari leads the trio to Annaji and introduces them to him)
Annaji (In weak tone with half open eyes). Namaste . Who is there? Looks like Bapu. Are you Bapu?
Gandhi. Yes. I am Bapu. Your Bapu. But do not belong to any one today.
Annaji. Iam happy to see you. Namste Patelji and Panditji. Look at me.
Gandhi. You are leading a bold struggle against a corrupt regime.
Annaji. Some one has to do. I am at it. The nation is behind me.
Patel. There must be many crooks in this country in powerful positions who want your struggle to fail.
Annaji. Such guys will always be there. Such men were there in your time too. Now also they are there. They want to make money. They want to sell away the country. Scores of Guys stored money in Swiss banks. Govt knows it. But says it can not do any thing.
Patel. Surely many top guys are involved in it. If the list is exposed, heavens will fall. All efforts are made to hide things.
Annaji. Baba Ramdev tried his best by fighting against it. But he did not succeed. He did not get much response from people when he was forcibly arrested and the sleeping crowd was dispersed in the middle of night.
Gandhi. Failures are stepping stones to success. There is no point dying. General Patton said once, No bast… has won a war by dying for his country, but has won it by making the enemy guys dying for their country. Annaji, remember one thing. You must live to see that your wish is succeeded.You must make your enemies tremble. If a corrupt guy dies lakhs of corrupt guys will emerge. If you die many Hazares will not be born immediately. You are very old and weak too. There could be some uprising immediately and that will die soon as no immediate leader of your caliber is present to day. Your advisors have limited popularity and can not stir the nation as you have done. The masses will become leaderless. The movement will whither away. During First Independence movement that we took up, there were many stalwarts who were very popular and each one of them could lead in my absence. Patel, Jawaharlal, Rajaji, Rajen bapu, Azad, Subhas, Satyamoorthi and many more were there. I am calling our movement as first freedom movement as you have started another movment to free this nation from looters, scamsters, cheats, crooks and thieves who are in the garb of administrators, leaders of all types. None of your immediate followers are of your caliber. They are mediocre. The people do not know them. They can be only led. They can not lead the nation. Therefore, it is very essential that you survive and not sacrifice your life now. If you become very weak you may not recover soon. After all, you are already 74 years old. Therefore do not pull the thread till it breaks. Try to adjust a bit and build continuous pressure over them. Let them not have sleep all their lives. Make them shit in their pants.
Annaji. Thanks Bapu for your advice. I shall try.
Hari. Brothers. It is time we leave Annaji to relax. He is tired.
Patel. Ok Annaji. Please take care of your health. Health is wealth also. Please remember that. Remember what General Patton of America said during World War II. We are leaving.
( The trio walks out singing Ramdhun while a guy presents them Gandhi caps. )
