Letter to Election Commission of IIndia

I feel disgusted each time I watch AAP (Aam Aadmi Party ) candidates or workers holding a Jharoo (broom) in their hands . It may have been during the election campaign or during the celebrations I felt the same .Well one may wonder why should it concern me its purely AAP's choice ! To cut it short AAP claims to represent the youth of our country , and do we want to see our youth holding some thing that represents future and growth or a broom in their hands and above all today AAP is contesting at state level but tomorrow when they contests at national level can we accept our PM candidate waving a broom , at least I can't . More over what message are we going to convey to international community . Recently I wrote a letter to Election Commission Of India expressing my concern over such election symbols of which the copy has been shared in this post.. Since it's not illegible one can read the contents below

To 27/'11/03

The Chief of Election Commission

Election Commission of India

Parliament Street

N Delhi

Dear Sir

I would like to introduce myself before I proceed any further , I am alka Narula , by profession I am an Interior designer the author of poetry book " Deep In My Heart " and an avid blogger , above all a patriot and a responsible citizen of this country

Sir , to my understanding the election symbols are approved and allotted by Election Commission to various parties in the country and I have a strong objection to the symbol allotted to AAP , A Jharu ( a broom) no doubt when AAP claims to clean the system it may sounds ok to half the population of this country but the system does not really require a broom to be cleaned . I associate , for that matter many people like me , a broom with either dirt or filth and particularly when the party has indulged into verbally spewing filth all over .A large no of AAP supporters are the youth of this country and I feel a party which claims to represent the future of our country should be associated with education and growth which could have been represented by a book , a pen , a laptop or by any futuristic symbol , there is a list to choose from.

We certainly need to understand mind of the youth which is impressionable at this age they need to think positive not remain shrouded in traditional ways of politics of mudslinging ,people like me don't want to see our youth holding the broom in their hands while they walk the streets .

Sir right now its at assembly level , tomorrow when the party contests at national level I wonder ,what message shall be conveyed to the international community by such symbols? I strongly believe political parties should be discreet about their symbols as well their language .

I suggest their symbol should be replaced though it seems impossible with elections around the corner but in future the sentiments of people like me should be taken in to consideration while allotment t of election symbols. The patriot in me feels disgusted every time I see a bunch of our upcoming generation walking with a broom in their hands , the hands that should be holding books and pens !

Anticipating a positive response'

With best regards

I remain , Sir

Congress 2013 Debacle

With the magnificent victory in Delhi assembly elections, Kejriwal-led AAP has emerged as the second-largest party in Delhi assembly after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) . It has not only shook the political order in Delhi assembly Election s but also forced the opposition to introspect their electoral show !

Surprisingly the big giants have not understood that this is not the victory of any party but a victory of the people of this country and a victory of democracy. As usual BJP has joined the Congress party who has been living in denial and became evident from from BJP/s claims that Congress got blown away in Modi storm . I have all my sympathies with Sheila Dikshit (the ex CM of Delhi) who despite the good work she has done in the capital had to bear the brunt and became the victim of the anger the people had for UPA II . Its high time for BJP and particularly Congress to realise that you have to be among people to understand their needs but both the parties seem to be completely disconnected from ground realities . Cong , I believe kept away from the public out of nervousness after unfolding of several scams . Knowing the fact that human beings have short memory, had they rather connected more often with them , in particular a commoner and the youth of this country to understand their anguish and promised not only to perform better but also taken measures to correct their mistakes there was a chance of better results in the Assembly elections. Surprisingly they continued mudslinging on the opposition and introducing populous schemes as a measure to damage control. What surprised me even more was Rahul Gandhi who once upon a time was a YOUTH ICON went into isolation who could actually have remained connected with the people and should have been there among them and not distanced himself completely. I also felt of late he has got into traditional way of politics , lambasting the opposition rather than talking about their own contribution and their Govt. manifesto. Or was he lost in the scuffle of finding his very own identity and emerge out of his Pappu image . He was seen trying hard to project himself like a tough Modi who being a good orator has an edge over Rahul . He must not ignore the fact that it is not necessary that a good orator can be a good states man and a good statesman does not need to be a good orator on the contrary have good spokes persons who are intelligent with excellent communication skills .In fact Rahul needs to go for personality development a finishing school, he needs to build back the confidence that he had shown in his early political career to come out of complexes he seems to be suffering from ever since the media started comparison between Modi and him and with the kind of strong political background he has he should not allow opposition and the media affect him and be himself.
Yes Cong certainly needs to learn a lesson from AAP that how imp ti is to remain connected with public . Also they need hire a PR agency to create a better image for the party and make their brand acceptable that seems to have lost its shone . Above all deal strictly with tainted leaders and of course a someone with strong leadership qualities to lead the party which of course Rahul lacks

Also AAP needs to learn a lesson from the two giants , not to forget that people of this country had given a mandate in their favour which is not performance based but they have given them an opportunity to prove themselves rather than behave like a bunch of arrogant leaders who have never tasted power before , in particular Kumar Vishwas who has already begun to behave like a king ,who can not talk without pointing finger at the others which is quite annoying . He also needs to mind his language as well as have the patience to hear others out at least when he is on National television . Not to forget its the people's power who brought Cong in to power and it is the same power that brought them down and the same applies to him and every one else.

Who Killed Arushi ?

Who killed Aarushi ,for many it may remain a mystery , those are the people who believe Talwar's really loved their daughter but who is doubting that ? The fact , at times insanity takes over human mind and that;s exactly what happened in Arushi's case

"Even one circumstance is enough to nail a person," said lawyer Sanjay Hegde. "Even one circumstance can damn a person. One circumstance can be clinching in a criminal case. The behaviour of the couple was very suspicious. I am sure the judge has valid reasons to declare them guilty of murder," Hegde

Pronounced guilty of murdering their own daughter Aarushi and servant Hemraj, the Talwars were sent to Ghaziabad's Dasna Jail .Just before the verdict I watched a programme on television where Nupur explained why she never shed tears after her daughters murder ." I have always been like that" said Nupur "More over a woman whose daughter has been murdered , who's husband has been sent to jail , all that has happened to me has made me react like that" she said on being questioned on her body language after the murder , In fact being a mother myself I have been quite intrigued by her reaction,expressions and the body language . I always wondered how can a mother be so calm and composed whose 14 year old child has been brutally murdered ? But she answered my question soon after the verdict came out ! Both the Talwars broke down in the court and both of them are believed to have cried the whole night the day they were sent behind the bars . Finally Nupur proved that she is no exception but she has a heart and soul like all other mothers , there is an old saying silence speaks more than words and it was her silence that told us that she is one of the culprits .

I can't speak for others but from the day one when Hemraj's family was found I said " Its an Honor killing" for me all the circumstances were clearly pointing towards them. I could not buy the CBI's earlier theory that the servants killed them both.

The trial court judgement in the Aarushi-Hem raj double murder received support from several eminent lawyers who maintained that circumstantial evidence left no other conclusion possible. but there has been much hue and cry by the family members of Talwars . The news channels were flooded with their interviews where they tried to put forth

their grievance against the CBI , the same CBI who they appreciated at the time the pronounced the servants responsible for the double murder . Nupur Talwar's mother, Lata Chitnis, tells a news channel that her husband's health has gotten worse n the wake of the verdict holding her daughter and Rajesh Talwar guilty of Aarushi-Hemraj's murder. Chitnis further accused the CBI of hiding facts and spoiling the case. Why did the CBI give a clean chit to the servants, asks Nupur Talwar's mother. My husband fought for country and he expects a fair judgement, she added So have the other members condemned the CBI's investigation,and called it trial by the media.

Are they trying to tell us that only those who fight for the country should get fair trial ? More over every family suffers for no reason but at the hands of one member turned criminal and they are no exception. And watching the debates on the media I felt its got on to defencive soon after Talwar's allegations where as they should have announced the verdict and moved on to next news . Why are Talwars being given so much impotance , how about Krishna , Rajkumar and Mandal why not show their side and broadcast their views or am I right in believing media belong to the people who matter Scores of killings and injustice happens in the poorer sections of the society and often it goes unnoticed and the Talwars’ case is being given unnecessary importance. The media , the family members and the panel must respect the judgement and not become judgemental. In case Talwars feel they have enough evidence to prove not guilty they should appeal to higher court and not to the media or public to prove their innocence.

Crime Against Women in India

"Amid the clamour for punishment to be awarded to Tehelka magazine’s founder-editor Tarun Tejpal for alleged sexual assault and the harassment complaint made against a former Supreme Court judge, women’s rights activists have lauded the trend of women taking on the “powerful and the mighty” as a sign of empowerment - The Hindu

These episodes remind me of the incident that haunts me till date . It was in the first quarter of year 1998 when I separated from my Ex husband . I registered a complaint against him in women's cell in Lajpat Nagar Police station N Delhi which was forwarded to the main Moti Bagh branch where it was being dealt by a senior Officer ,a commissioner then who was probably in late fifties I had charged my Ex of infidility and converting to Islam for the purpose of getting married to another girl while he was still married to me . After several meetings with the officer at the women's cell for several months I got no where nor I saw a ray of hope of getting justice when this officer totally devasted me with his one remark " You have a nice figure " The message came to me loud and clear from the man who was there to secure a woman's rights " Girl you can not get justice here " and discouraged me from ever appearing in the women's cell again and deprived me and my daughter of our rights. I did not have the strength to go back to him for justice as I had none by my side at that point of time , no friends , no family . Neither I was aware of the fact that a strong action can be taken against him nor I had the resources and the time to fight it out . For me then time was money and arranging one meal a day became the priority. Had he taken my case genuinely I would have been better placed now in all respects in .He made me lose faith in both police and judiciary that resulted in my divorce with a mutual consent , which otherwise would have been a war ,if not for myself but for the alimony and rights of my daughter Thanks to the supreme court guidelines and the awareness that is being brought about by the the media that more and more women are feeling empowered to complain against the culprit ." The change from “suffering in silence” to “taking on the powerful” is a sign of women finally finding their voice.

Tehelka dot om

This blog on Tehelka was no less than a shocker for me as much as Tarun Tejpals sexual assault news. I incidentally stumbled upon this poetry blog by some Rajkumar who has used objectionable language for girls//women in the magazine section of hindi edition. I felt disgusted not only after going through the concluding lines of the poem , where the poet has used बिकाऊ (for sale) word for a particular segment of girls but also the comments which are worse than the poem . I have copy pasted not only the link but also the entire page along with comments for people to read . It looks like mag section of Tehelka that is much in news these days yet not too sure but I wonder how can an editor allow such material to be published on a public platform . To condemn this article please go to the link published and post your comment.

खूबसूरत लड़कि नहीं मिलतीं आसानी से

होती हैं कई प्रतियोगिताएं

मिस सिटी से मिस यूनिवर्स तक

अब मिसेज भी होने लगी हैं

इसके बावजूद नहीं मिलतीं

उनके चेहरे पर लिपे होते हैं

प्रायोजकों के लेप

हर अंग पर लिपटी होती हैं

आयोजकों की चिंदियां

फिर भी नहीं होतीं वे खूबसूरत

उनके चेहरे पर चमकता है बाजार

अंतत: खारिज हो जाती हैं अगले साल

खूबसूरत लड़कियां नहीं मिलती प्रतियोगिताओं से

खूबसूरत लड़कियां जूझती हैं जीवन से

उनके चेहरे पर चमकती हैं पसीने की बूंदें

उनके दिल में होती है निश्‍‍छलता

नहीं जानतीं वे बाजार भाव

वे बिकाऊ नहीं होतीं

राजू जी आपकी कविता वो सच है जो कड़वा है। ऐसे विचारों के लिए मैं आपको धन्यवाद देता हूँ। जयहिंद, जयभारत। सोच
एक धनी बाला ,
कम से कम वस्त्र पहन
दिखाती है जब ज्यादा से ज्यादा तन,
तो लोग कहते हैं
यही तो है आधुनिक फ़ैशन।

एक निर्धन बाला को
लोग कहते हैं बेशर्म,
जब वस्त्र न होने के कारण
वह ढाँप नहीं पाती अपना तन

बहूत अच्छी किवता िलखी है राजू जी आपने, आजकल खूबसूरती का मतलब ही बदल गया है, पहले खूबसूरती चेहरे से आैर आचरण से हाेती थी आैर आज खूबसूरती नंगा हाेकर अपना िजश्म िदखाने को कहते हैं.
आैरतें या लऱिकयां जो भी ईस तरह के प्रोग्राम में भाग लेते हैं अपने आप को बहूत ही आधूिनक समझते हैं, क्या पूरी जनता के सामने नंगा होना ही आैरतों का आधूनीकरण है?
अगर ऐसा है तो मैं तवायफ को ईन लोगों से कहीं अच्छा मानता हूं, तवायफ तो अपना िजश्म िसर्फ अपने गर्ाहक को ही िदखाती है, लेिकन ये लऱिकयां अपना िजश्म पूरी दूिनया को िदखाती हैं

जी हां, आपने चूड़ियां नहीं पहनी हैं और आप पहन भी नहीं सकते। आप ही के जैसे तमाम वे मर्द चूड़ियां पहनने का माद्दा नहीं रखते जो इसे दोयम दर्जे का काम समझते हैं। चूड़ियां पहनने के लिए कलेजा चाहिए साहब।

आप फौजी हैं। संगीन पर जाकर गोली खाते हैं। इस बात की इज़्ज़त करते हैं हम। लेकिन कभी सोचा है, आप तो सिर्फ एक बार गोली खाकर मर जाते हैं। आपके पीछे से आपकी वही बेवाएं आपकी नई पुश्त के लिए ज़िन्दगी से दो-दो हाथ करती हैं, जिनके हाथों में 'चूड़ियां' पड़ी हैं।

आप मर्द हैं और भारतीय समाज की व्यवस्था के मुताबिक आप आज़ाद हैं। कभी उस औरत की तरह दोहरी ज़िम्मेदारियां निभा कर देखिए जो आपको वह जिगरा देती है कि आप जाइए और मुल्क पर कुर्बान हो जाएं। पीछे से जो भी होगा उससे खुद ही निपटती हैं। आखिर स्त्री को दोयम दर्जे पर रखना आप लोग कब बंद करेंगे? इस तमाम शिक्षा प्रणाली और विकासवादी मानसिकता का क्या लाभ हो रहा है समाज को? चूड़ियां पहनना मतलब है अपने हाथ खुद बांध लेना। मर्यादा, लिहाज़ और शर्म के बंधनों में। कभी ऐसी बकवास बातें करने वालों को बंधन में बांध कर बैठाइए। तब यह जानेंगे कि चूड़ियां पहनने का मतलब क्या होता है।

Mr. AMITKUMAR JAYANTKUMAR ACHARYA ,AHEMDABAD E-MAIL ADD:-amitacharya81@ymail.com

दिल्ली में चलती बस में सामुहिक बलात्कार मामले के बाद दोषियों को फांसी देने या नपुंसक बनाने पर चर्चा हो रही है। आज जब कांग्रेस और भाजपा समेत कई राजनीतिक दल बलात्कारी को रासायनिक तरीके से नपुंसक बनाने की पैरवी कर रहे हैं तो इस सुझाव के कानूनी पहलू, व्यावहारिकता और परिणाम जांचना लाजमी है। इस तरह का सुझाव पिछले तैंतीस साल में दो बार अदालती पैâसलों में आया। राजेंद्र प्रसाद बनाम उत्तर प्रदेश मामले के पैâसले पर सुप्रीम कोर्ट की संविधान पीठ ने १९८२ में ‘बच्चन िंसह बनाम पंजाब राज्य’ मामले की सुनवाई के दौरान फिर विचार किया। जब बलात्कारी को नपुंसक बनाने की वैकाqल्पक सजा के सुझाव का जिक्र हुआ तो पीठ ने उसे हंसी में टाल दिया। बच्चन िंसह की ओर से पेश हुए वकील डीके गर्ग कहते हैं, ‘कोर्ट ने सुझाव से असहमति जताई थी। कोर्ट की टिप्पणी थी कि ऐसी सजा वैâसे दी जा सकती है न्यायपालिका को अधिकार नहीं है कि वह स्वयं सजा तय करे और फिर वही सजा सुना दे। अदालत कानून के दायरे में रहकर ही सजा सुना सकती है।’ गर्ग की बात से दिल्ली हाई कोर्ट के पूर्व न्यायाधीश आरएस सोढ़ी भी सहमति जताते हैं। सोढ़ी बच्चन िंसह मामले में पंजाब सरकार के वकील थे। उन्होंने कहा, कोर्ट ने सुझाव को गंभीरता से नहीं लिया था। अदालत का कहना था कि यह वैâस्ट्रेशन कहां से आ गया? वैâस्ट्रेशन वैâसे कर सकते हैं? अदालत ऐसा नहीं कह सकती। गौरतलब है। कि भारत में महिलाओं के प्रति बढ़ते यौन अपराधों को रोकने के लिए बलात्कारी को रासायनिक तरीके से नपुंसक बनाने की बात चल रही है। ऐसे में अगर इसके दृष्टांत खंगाले जाएं तो पता चलता है कि अमेरिका के वर्जीनिया में आनुवांशिक रूप से मंदबुद्धि लोगों के जबरन नपुंसक बनाने का कानून लागू था। यूएस सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने १९२७ में ‘बक बनाम बेल’ मामले में इसे संवैधानिक ठहराया था।
