Death Kiss!

Death Kiss!

Indian Holocaust My Father`s Life and time - 54

Palash Biswas



Amerika Is India now. Economy is like ATM . have a VISA and get into anywhere! Get a US VISA and everything changes!

The US-based internet governing body rejected a proposal to create an adults-only zone on the internet, or a .XXX domain. But India is already trapped with Death Kiss. Mobile, cinema,cable,computor, internet and media launched Blue Revolution drive with misinformation campaign turning India a Free Hunting Ground for Multi Nationals. Luxury Malls and Luxury connection with Neoliberalism has changed the polity, economy, society, languages and cultuer!
The color is Blue which happens to be the color of ousted Team India from the Cricket carnival. University is enlisted in Stock Exchange! Trains sponsored!

With all that money floating around to be spent, luxury seems to be the buzzword today. According to an estimate, 200-300 international luxury brands are trying to make an entry into India. As of now, the luxury market is worth Rs 2,400 crore (Rs 24 billion) and continues to grow at 30-32 per cent. It is expected to climb up to Rs 5,000 crore (Rs 50 billion) by 2010.

The Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) and the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) will now be collaborating with each other in their climate control programmes!

Nandigarm seems to be spared as SEZ is going to be shifted in Haldia! Genocide criminals are never hanged until dethroned. Culprits won`t be punished! No Chance! For the first time after the Nandigram violence, the CPM's top leadership today began discussions on its fallout and the adverse impact on the party's pro-poor image.The politburo and central committee of the party, which met here, also debated the strategy for the UP Assembly polls, political developments and the Supreme Court stay on OBC quota in higher educational institutions.
On the first day of the three-day central committee meeting, the party senior leadership started discussions on a report of the West Bengal state unit on the Nandigram issue and the circumstances that led to the violence.


The entire gamut of the Special Economic Policy (SEZ) and the party's stand on it would be debated in the context of the Nandigram experience, party politburo member Sitaram Yechury told reporters.

Other issues that will be taken up include the Supreme Court stay on a Central law providing for 27 per cent reservation for Other Backward Classes in higher educational institutions.

The party feels that the apex court judgment was "logically inconsistent" as a two-judge bench had gone against a verdict on OBC job quota given by a nine-judge Constitution bench in 1992.

It favours an all-party meeting on the apex court stay, which has raised questions on the "delicate balance" among the judiciary, legislature and the executive.



Three people including an alleged cricket bookie were arrested Saturday by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of West Bengal for running an online cricket betting racket in Kolkata.


India is Americanised! World is Americanised! Death Kiss is the key word of culture worldwide!
Henry V Jardine, the US Consulate-General, said today that since last year India’s student visa applications to the United States have grown by 32 per cent. And in the autumn of 2006, through a concerted effort, the consulate was able to eliminate the non-immigrant visa appointment backlog.

Visa applications to the US and issuances by the consular offices are rising at a rapid pace. While over 3.5 lakh visas were issued last year, the number of applications being processed this year is tipped to touch 5 lakh. Of these, around 80% are slated to be approved. Kolkata and the east is of course clocking a taller growth rate. Compared to around 20% overall rate of growth yearly, Kolkata’s US consular hub is registering 20-30% rise in visa applications and approvals.

Sunil Mittal's plan to open a Bharti-Wal-Mart cash-and-carry store in Bengal has come under a cloud. On Friday, state finance minister Asim Dasgupta reiterated that Bengal would not allow Wal-Mart to establish a presence here.Bharti chairman Sunil Mittal had said that Bharti-Wal-Mart is keen to include Bengal in its nation-wide roll-out plan. The state has already allowed Germany's Metro Cash & Carry to set up shops since it would engage in wholesale trade and target institutions as customers! Former Chief Minister of West Bengal Jyoti Basu on Friday said that industrialisation in the State would continue in spite of the Nandigram incident, where 15 farmers had died in police firing!The two projects -Tata car factory in Singur and SEZ in Nandigram - that were initiated during the regime of incumbent Chief Minister Buddhadev Bhattacharya has met with protests by farmers and opposition political parties on the issue of land acquisition.

On the other hand,India’s struggles with the legacy of its ancient caste system took center stage again Thursday, with the highest court suspending a controversial government policy that reserved more seats at elite colleges for students born into “backward” classes. The policy sparked protests from students across the country when it was announced last year. Top state-run colleges already reserve 22.5% of admissions for students from lower castes. However, last summer, the government said it wanted to create an additional quota of 27% for "other backward classes," a move that protesters charged was pandering for votes in a country that sees intense competition among millions of students each year for seats in the top-tier colleges.

Come On Nationality Bangla! Australia's World Cup captain Ricky Ponting could be forgiven for a hint of exasperation on Friday when he was reminded of his team's shock loss to Bangladesh in Cardiff two years ago. On the eve of the champions' World Cup Super Eights match against the ninth-ranked one-day international nation, Ponting said the result had long since been consigned to the record books.

That is why,Reliance's Maha-Mumbai SEZ, one of the biggest special economic zones proposed in the country, has hit a speedbreaker.Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh has announced a freeze on all land acquisitions for the proposed special economic zone (SEZ) of the Mukesh Ambani led Reliance group in Raigad district, which had witnessed widespread unrest over farmland takeover for the SEZ.

'No final award will be passed for acquisition of land for the multi-million rupee project,' the chief minister said late Friday.


Deshmukh's decision came a day after a high-level fact-finding team of the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) warned the state government that the project could lead to a flare up similar to the one in West Bengal's Nandigram.


The fact-finding panel led by former MPs Sanjay Nirupam and Ramseth Thakur had Thursday submitted its interim report to the MPCC. It alerted the government of the farmers' unrest brewing in Raigad, adjacent to Navi Mumbai, where large-scale land acquisition was in progress by the Reliance Group.It had warned of a big farmers' agitation if the government failed to initiate immediate welfare measures for the affected farmers.


'We will issue orders to revenue officers to ensure that even after completing the hearing as per the provision of land acquisition act, no final award be passed. The ownership of land will remain with the farmers till the dispute is resolved,' Deshmukh told reporters Saturday.


He added: 'Even if the ongoing legal proceedings were completed, the land would remain with the original owners and not be transferred.'


Reliance had planned to set up a multi-million rupee SEZ on 10,000 hectares of land in the Uran-Pen-Panvel belt in Raigad. The company had already initiated land acquisition process and had announced a package for the farmers.

This morning I talked to top CPIM leader and SC welfare minister in Tripura Anil Srkar, the poet on phone. He informed me that TYripura may not implement OBC quota as the state has already implemented fifty percent reservation in the state. He demanded constitutional cahnge to bypass supreme court cap on quota more than fifty percent. Erlier sarkar claimed to have implemented reservation in private sector in the state. He also demanded to identify the creamy layer in Caste Hindus.

The government-run National Sample Survey (NSS) does capture a broad, caste-based (including OBCs) demographic and social parameters such as education, employment, occupation and consumption. According to the last, and latest available figures from NSS 61st round (2004-05), OBCs accounted for 41% of India’s population, up from 35.8 % in 1999-2000.

Sarkar said, ` Supreme court stay on OBC quota is unfortunate!’

On March 29, the Supreme Court, in an interim ruling, had put on hold implementation of the proposed 27 per cent reservation for OBCs in Central educational institutions, including IIMs and IITs.
In its interim order staying the Central Educational Institution (Reservation in Admission) Act of 2006, the Apex Court said the 1931 census could not be a determining factor for identifying OBCs for providing a quota to them.

Sarkar is an imporatant member of the CPIM dalit Sub committe for actions in accordance with Dalit agenda passed in Hyderabad conference. He informed that so many meetings have taken place and a substantial progress is made. He avoided to give any details.

Sarkar has written a long poem on Nandigram on party line but he did not comment on Nandigram genocide. He happens to the most important dalit leader in the party and is well known for his boldness.

The Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday stepped up its attack on the Centre over the Sachar committee, saying its contention that it had been manipulated for electoral reasons stood vindicated after a new report suggested Christians and not Muslims have the highest unemployment rate in the country.Political parties on Friday stepped up pressure on the Centre asking it to find a way out to overcome the Supreme Court verdict staying the implementation of 27% reservation for OBCs in elite educational institutions.

"We have been saying it all along that the Sachar committee was created for vote-bank reasons. It was designed to serve a political purpose especially ahead of the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections. The National Sample Survey Organisation report vindicates our assertion," BJP vice-president Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said.

He alleged that the Congress-led Centre had no concrete plans aimed at uplift of Muslims.

"It is simply trying to exploit sentiments to win some votes. But people see through these designs," Naqvi remarked.


The Board of Governors of the six Indian Institutes of Management met in Ahmedabad on Saturday to discuss the impact of the Supreme Court's stay on the 27 per cent OBC quota.They have come to the conclusion that there will be no OBC quota in IIM-Ahmedabad if the Supreme Court stay is not vacated within two weeks time.The Board of Governors have said that they will not be able to follow new OBC admission quotas if the stay on reservations does not go by April 12, 2007.
Meanwhile, reports from Ahmedabad say that The Indian Institute of Management here on Saturday hiked the annual fees for two-year postgraduate course by Rs23,000 to Rs2 lakh.

Global market has boosted consumerism in India! Get loans and consume, this happens to be the spirit of post modern Indian society. The Ethics is this! Good is wealth! Evil is poverty! Religion is well associated with this Global Market. What happens next?

The RBI today raised key short-term lending rate (repo) by 25 basis point and the mandatory deposits by banks by 50 points to contain inflation, setting the stage for another round of interest rate rise on housing, vehicle and other consumer loans. As part of its recent moves to further tighten money supply, the central bank raised the cash reserve ratio (CRR) — the portion of deposits banks must keep with the RBI — for the third time since December 2006 to 6.5 per cent with effect from April 28. It has hiked the repo rate — the rate at which the RBI lends to banks — to 7.75 per cent from April 14. The hike in CRR will suck out Rs 15,500 crore from the lendable resources of commercial banks.

Indian Middle Class, the backbone of the Brahminical Zionist Imperialism is bound to be immersed in Debt! But these Shudras are neither Dalits , nor tribals or minorities. They would have other avenues for biotic sustenace, which the underclasses, the untouchables in India may not have! This divided India may not address Globalisation in terms the Latin America does!

Look! Finance Minister P Chidambaram on Friday said that the government was fully supportive of Reserve Bank's decision to increase key short term lending rates and cash reserve ratio to contain inflation!

"The government is fully supportive of the moves," said Chidambaram.

He also said that the Reserve Bank consulted the government on both the measures announced on Friday.

SBI, others to review rates

And here you are!

The country’s top three lenders SBI, ICICI Bank and PNB on Friday hinted at increasing interest rates following RBI’s decision on short-term lending rate and CRR. SBI deputy MD Arun Shandilya said a review was likely, as the hike will impact credit growth and hit profitability of banks. ICICI chief executive K V Kamath said, “We expect slowdown in retail credit demand. However, investment demand is not likely to be impacted.” Punjab National Bank’s executive director, K Raghuraman, said the asset-liability committee of the bank would take a decision on loan rates in a week or so.

The Governors say they will not follow the OBC quota as it may amount to contempt of court.
However, it clarified that the benefit of reservations for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes could not be withheld and the Centre could go ahead with the process to determine backward classes.

The next hearing on the case is only in August.

All the six IIMs had announced seat increases from this year to accommodate the OBC quota without affecting general category students.The admission process is already underway in most of the institutes, but authorities at the IIMs say they will take a final decision on admissions only after getting a communication from the Central Government.

Says Chairman, IIM-A Board of Governors, Vijaypat Singhaniya, "If the issue is resolved by the Supreme Court, prior to April 12, then the institute will have to go according to the law of the land. This institute will not violate any law of the land."

"If on the other hand, the Supreme Court does not decide to vacate the stay and clarify the issues on OBCs and when the Constitution comes into play, then I think it's going to be a very tricky issue for the institute to grant admission to OBCs," he added.
