India Rs.26/- a day for poor a JOKE


20130403-115519.jpg

“Late last year, two young men decided to live a month of their lives on the income of an average poor Indian. One of them, Tushar, the son of a police officer in Haryana, studied at the University of Pennsylvania and worked for three years as an investment banker in the US and Singapore. The other, Matt, migrated as a teenager to the States with his parents, and studied in MIT. Both decided at different points to return to India, joined the UID Project in Bengaluru, came to share a flat, and became close friends.

The idea suddenly struck them one day. Both had returned to India in the vague hope that they could be of use to their country. But they knew the people of this land so little. Tushar suggested one evening — “Let us try to understand an ‘average Indian’, by living on an ‘average income’.” His friend Matt was immediately captured by the idea. They began a journey which would change them forever.

To begin with, what was the average income of an Indian? They calculated that India’s Mean National Income was Rs. 4,500 a month, or Rs. 150 a day. Globally people spend about a third of their incomes on rent. Excluding rent, they decided to spend Rs. 100 each a day. They realised that this did not make them poor, only average. Seventy-five per cent Indians live on less than this average.

The young men moved into the tiny apartment of their domestic help, much to her bemusement. What changed for them was that they spent a large part of their day planning and organising their food. Eating out was out of the question; even dhabas were too expensive. Milk and yoghurt were expensive and therefore used sparingly, meat was out of bounds, as were processed food like bread. No ghee or butter, only a little refined oil. Both are passionate cooks with healthy appetites. They found soy nuggets a wonder food — affordable and high on proteins, and worked on many recipes. Parle G biscuits again were cheap: 25 paise for 27 calories! They innovated a dessert of fried banana on biscuits. It was their treat each day.

Living on Rs.100 made the circle of their life much smaller. They found that they could not afford to travel by bus more than five km in a day. If they needed to go further, they could only walk. They could afford electricity only five or six hours a day, therefore sparingly used lights and fans. They needed also to charge their mobiles and computers. One Lifebuoy soap cut into two. They passed by shops, gazing at things they could not buy. They could not afford the movies, and hoped they would not fall ill.

However, the bigger challenge remained. Could they live on Rs. 32, the official poverty line, which had become controversial after India’s Planning Commission informed the Supreme Court that this was the poverty line for cities (for villages it was even lower, at Rs. 26 per person per day)?

For this, they decided to go to Matt’s ancestral village Karucachal in Kerala, and live on Rs. 26. They ate parboiled rice, a tuber and banana and drank black tea: a balanced diet was impossible on the Rs. 18 a day which their briefly adopted ‘poverty’ permitted. They found themselves thinking of food the whole day. They walked long distances, and saved money even on soap to wash their clothes. They could not afford communication, by mobile and internet. It would have been a disaster if they fell ill. For the two 26-year-olds, the experience of ‘official poverty’ was harrowing.

Yet, when their experiment ended with Deepavali, they wrote to their friends: “Wish we could tell you that we are happy to have our ‘normal’ lives back. Wish we could say that our sumptuous celebratory feast two nights ago was as satisfying as we had been hoping for throughout our experiment. It probably was one of the best meals we’ve ever had, packed with massive amounts of love from our hosts. However, each bite was a sad reminder of the harsh reality that there are 400 million people in our country for whom such a meal will remain a dream for quite some time. That we can move on to our comfortable life, but they remain in the battlefield of survival — a life of tough choices and tall constraints. A life where freedom means little and hunger is plenty…

It disturbs us to spend money on most of the things that we now consider excesses. Do we really need that hair product or that branded cologne? Is dining out at expensive restaurants necessary for a happy weekend? At a larger level, do we deserve all the riches we have around us? Is it just plain luck that we were born into circumstances that allowed us to build a life of comfort? What makes the other half any less deserving of many of these material possessions, (which many of us consider essential) or, more importantly, tools for self-development (education) or self-preservation (healthcare)?

We don’t know the answers to these questions. But we do know the feeling of guilt that is with us now. Guilt that is compounded by the love and generosity we got from people who live on the other side, despite their tough lives. We may have treated them as strangers all our lives, but they surely didn’t treat us as that way…”

So what did these two friends learn from their brief encounter with poverty? That hunger can make you angry. That a food law which guarantees adequate nutrition to all is essential. That poverty does not allow you to realise even modest dreams. And above all — in Matt’s words — that empathy is essential for democracy.”

Curious case of Subhasini Mistry


20130310-125440.jpg


“This is all I could do on my own. I don’t regret that I had to put two of my children in an orphanage, that I couldn’t educate them. There were things needed to be done for the greater good. I had no education and couldn’t even tell the time. So I decided I would do whatever work that was available. I started out as an aayah (domestic help) in the nearby houses. I did everything. There is no work my hands have not done. I have cooked, mopped floors, washed utensils, cleaned gardens, polished shoes, concreted roofs. My children used to earn Re.1 while I used to get Rs.1.25. I never spent on myself. Whatever I earned, I saved most of it for the hospital. One of the landlords was selling off his land. I went to him and fell at his feet to let me buy the plot for a lesser amount. Our main problem is shortage of doctors. They are only available on specific dates. Since we do not pay them, they are less inclined to visit regularly. My wish will be fulfilled entirely when doctors and nurses are available round the clock and when we can provide all the services of a modern hospital.”

Subhasini Mistry, a 70 year old domestic worker who built a hospital for the poor, after losing her husband at the age of 23 because she couldnt afford medical care. Name of the Hospital: Humanity Hospital.

The Stolen Wealth of India During British Rule


20130304-134309.jpg
Everyone knows the history of India. But not all knows how much wealth it gave to this world. I don’t mean the literature and culture it taught to this world. I mean the real wealth, the money, the gold and diamonds stolen, looted by the British rulers, when they ruled India for nearly 200 years.

During the mid of 1770’s, the western countries, especially Britain had Industrial revolution and it was completely financed by the money looted from India. Even William Digby and British historian agreed that without the “Venture Capital” which was looted from Bengal, the Industrial Revolution might not have happened. In 1757, the Battle of Plassey happened among the King of Bengal and British rulers. But Robert Clive defeated the effort of evicting the British rule. During this battle, Bengal got looted completely.

The looted money and wealth were then showered in the industrial revolution, which helped in the inventions like “The spinning Jenny” in the year 1764, “The water Frame”, a machine to spin cotton threads in the year 1769, “The Steam Engine” in the year 1785 and a lot more.

Apart from financing the British people to develop their inventions and economy, the wealth of India also helped Americans also to grow economically. During 19th century, USA levied heavy and stiff tariffs on any goods that are imported from Britain. Since Britain didn’t have any problem for wealth and money, as it was flowing from India, which they absorbed completely. So they didn’t care about the high taxes. So, the prosperity of India was shared with America also by the British rulers.

One more Englishman mentioned in his note about India, “Even after sucking the entire wealth of India, our government is still giving more sufferings to the people of India by forcing them to by their products like dresses which they wove by the inventions sponsored by Indian money. How people of hot country can wear a dress woven for a cold country like England?” and so on…

Anglophiles’ note of apology says “British colonial rule in India was the organized banditry that financed England’s Industrial Revolution”. The British rulers even took over the technology of India, along with money. Will Durant, an American Historian mentioned in his note “India was flourishing in Ship building besides the expertise of making steel and textiles. But all got ruined when British took over those technologies”.

Only few knows that the birth place of the world famous Kohinoor diamond (which means Mountain of Light), which is currently a part of the Royal British Crown Jewels, is India. This 105 carat diamond was the largest one at that time and it was kept by various Mughal Emperors. But it was later looted by the East Indian Company, which was then gifted to Queen Victoria when she was declared as “Empress of India” in the year 1877.

Roughly it has been estimated as 1.8 Trillion Dollars of money that was looted by the British rulers in that 200 years of brutal ruling of India, apart from some other wealth like gold, diamonds and raw materials which got transported out of India in around 700 Ships and made India from a Developed Nation to a “Third World Country“.

That, Freedom Movement is still yet to be WON.

British distorted Hindu Aryavrata-Bharata History of India


The flawed Aryan invasion theory (AIT) was actually part of the British policy of divide and rule, French historian Michel Danino, an expert on ancient Indian history, said on Thursday on the sidelines of the Kolkata Literary Meet. Danino, who authored books such as The Lost River: On The Trail of Saraswati and Indian Culture and India’s Future, blames the British for distorting Indian history and challenged the Arayan invasion theory, while maintaining that there was no actual Aryan-Dravidian divide.

“No ancient or medieval Indian text would support the Aryan invasion theory. It is genetically proven that Aryans and Dravidians belong to the same race, ”said Danino, who settle in India in 1977 and has since acquired Indian citizenship.

Danino said that early Tamil literature displayed a cultural fusion with north Indian literature. Even the name of the city Maduri was influence from the ancient north Indian heritage city, Mathura, Danino claimed.

“Indians are basically a mixed breed and the mixing started as early as the Stone Age. After the Saraswati river dried up, leading to the collapse of the Indus Valley civilization, people started settling on the banks of the Ganges. This phenomenon that occurred around 2000 BC led to massive mixing up of the populace as a while has to shift its base,” Danino explained.

“The Mahabharata defined ethnic groups as jatis, whereas the British brought in the term tribes to describe the same thing, thus denigrating the homogenous culture of India. Jatis were defined on ecological terms. There is a popular perception that casteism started in India since the Vedas but that is not true. There was no casteism even during the Mahabharata period,” he said.

Danino also rued the fact that Indians are apathetic towards the preservation of their rich culture and heritage. “1170 sites of the ancient Harappan civilization have been identified during its mature phase. But till date only around 100 sites have been excavated. There is a fear that 90% of the sites might disappear due to expansion of urban areas or agricultural land being converted to residential high rises,” Danino said.

He went on to give an example of how the archaeological Survey of India (ASI) could recover only eight kilos of Harappan gold when about 80 kilos of the same was unearthed at Mandi in Uttar Pradesh. Villagers pilfered the rest, depriving India of a useful insight into its rich heritage.

“ASI admitted to a Parliament query that 42 protected sites vanished from Delhi alone. No one noticed as land sharks went to grab the sites and construct high-rises on them,” Danino said.

Historian Sanjeev Sanyal, speaking on the continuity of Indian history claimed that east European and north Indian people share genetic similarities.

Facts how FBI & RAW were born


This post is going to be about a Master who excelled in his field and reached the International top 5 spot. A Master whom the Indian politicians wont speak about. A Master whom out of 1 billion Indians, only a few thousand or maybe few hundred know or heard about him! A Master whose work still impacts India and keeps its people secured.
But before talking about him let me talk about someone else. Another Master. Presently U.S.A is the most secured country. U.S.A and Israel are probably the only countries which are not controlled by other countries.
This is called Hegemony, where a government indirectly controls or influences another government. But this is the present, back in 1924 the United in the U.S.A was actually Unstable. The Unstable States of America!
There was great influence of both Nazi’s and Communist in the U.S.A. There were political parties that supported Stalin and parties that supported Hitler. There were gangster clans who used these parties to spread chaos and indulge in organised crime!
The Police system was corrupted. Government was corrupted. Crimes spread. Bomb Blasts everywhere. U.S.A was in chaos. History textbooks usually concentrate on U.S.A’s involvement in World Wars but nobody mentioned how unstable it was in its internal security.
From all these chaos there was this One Man who wanted to ensure security to Americans. Seeing all the chaos in the government and police departments he wanted to start a new department. A Department that concentrates on logical reasoning and scientific research in analyzing crimes and people.
From a very young age this man was interested in scientific research that when he joined Bureau of Investigation he was using scientific reasoning in all investigations. But he was laughed at. He lived with his mom. He loved her a lot. He never leaves her. He was ridiculed in both his work and personal life. This affected his emotional stability but he still continued his way of working.
But when the politics in the Bureau of Investigation reached its peak level. He said he had enough. He began to play his own politics. Ruthless Politics. And came up with a idea of a different department. A Department where he has complete control. A Department that can solve America’s internal security problems. So J.Edgar Hoover formed the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI.
He was the first to introduce fingerprint scanning system. He was able to track down every criminal. His department has lot of scientific researches. His works is the basis of all the investigations present currently in all over the world.
He just didn’t solve crimes. He knew the political parties are powerful. So he devised methods to keep them in check. He was the head of FBI for 37 years. In his reign he found the personal lives of all the top powerful people, mostly about their illegitimate affairs with many women or their money making scandals or their very private gay life. He will use these information to blackmail them if they misuse their powers.
This included 6 U.S Presidents too. This man was actually controlling the American Presidents. But he doesnt literally control them but just in case if they misuse their powers, he will do some nasty things!
Martin Luther King Jr. The guy who is famous among blacks, the guy who fought for black rights had another side. He was a womaniser. Hoover found that out by keeping microphones in hotel rooms Martin used to visit. Hoover did this so that Martin doesnt start a Revolution in US using his huge black following. If this womaniser news is leaked then Martin will lose his political personality. Martin never misused his power so Hoover did not do anything. ( There is a lot of controversy behind this, just do some google searching if interested )
Hoover never married anyone and he was in power till his death at the age of 77. He dedicated his entire life for the security of his country. He used both legal and illegal methods to keep criminals and politicians in check.
His life was made into a movie titled “J.Edgar” and Leonardo DiCaprio played as J.Edgar Hoover!
Just like J.Edgar Hoover there was a man in India too. …. There Was!
Born in 1918 in Uttar Pradesh.
Got his Bachelor of Arts degree in Lucknow University.
Got his Masters in English Literature in Allahabad University.
After that he was pursing Law classes, but somewhere at that point in his life he decided to not pursue his life as a lawyer but as a police man.
In 1940 he joined Indian Imperial Police by writing a competitive exam and was posted as Assistant Superintendent of Police.
In 1947 when India got its Independence, he joined the Intelligence Bureau. I.B.
He was put in charge of VIP security. He was looking after the security of Jawaharlal Nehru, First Prime Minister of India and other key people.
Since he was a key figure in knowing the details of India’s VIPs, he kept a really private life. He never appeared in public for interviews.etc
In 1950s there were some diplomatic relations between India and Ghana. The Indian government sent him to setup a Intelligence Bureau for them. He went to Ghana and setup a really excellent Intelligence Bureau.
His name spread far and wide to Intelligence heads in other countries too. Even reached people like J.Edgar Hoover and his FBI and also the CIA of U.S.
When Indira Gandhi became the Prime Minister she knew that this man can be trusted and his talent should be used to the maximum. She knew the the Intelligence Bureau of India failed during the China-India War.
She and other political powers decided for a new Intelligence Department. She appointed him as its First Director.
Name of the Department: Research & Analysis Wing of India. a.k.a RAW
Name of the Person: Rameshwar Nath Kao a.k.a Kao
For those who still dont know what RAW is, its the CIA of India!
Kao is the real life James Bond.
Under his leadership RAW had so many spies who were called kaoboys!
Even though RAW was supposed to deal with External Intelligence, Kao concentrated even in internal intelligence, just to be sure!
Kao setup spies everywhere. In every Indian Political party, form top to bottom! In every important government organization.
Not just in India. Kao’s kaoboys were everywhere including China, Pakistan’s very own ISI had Kao’s spies. Kao had spies even in US’s CIA, Singapore, Japan.etc etc..
His intelligence organization was so efficient that he was called the Spymaster!
He also setup the Aviation Research Centre. Before satellites, aeroplanes were used to spy on other countries. Kao used MiG planes to spy on Pakistan & China!
The French external intelligence agency claimed Kao to be one of the five great intelligence chiefs of the 1970s!
“Normally, Kao’s was the last appointment of the day with Mrs Gandhi, when all her other engagements were finished,” remembers a politician close to the Gandhi family.
There is thing about the criminal Dawood Ibrahim that he manages every organized crime of his in India via phone call from his hideout. Well his ways are nothing compared to Kao!
Here is a statement by the Chairman of Joint Intelligence Committee:
“His contacts the world over, particularly in Asia—Afghanistan, Iran, China, you name it—were something else. He could move things with just one phone call. He was a team leader who rode out notorious inter-departmental and inter-service rivalries, which is commonplace in India.”
Kao found out that China has an eye for Sikkim. It was he who urged the Indian government to act on Sikkim or else we will lose it!
Kao’s intelligence was the key factor in the Bangladesh liberation war. For those who forgot history, Bangladesh was once called East Pakistan and it was controlled by the mainland Pakistan. But there were many revolts and differences between the West and the East. There were many mass killings and brutal rapes. Pakistan did not bother about the security of East Pakistan but yet wanted full control!
Kao had two options. Wait for the Indian Government to help the East Pakistanis.. or setup an illegal army in East Pakistan and arm their citizens!
He setup a illegal army of Bangladeshis to fight against their Pakistan controlled Government!
Later India decided the war!
………..
Kao later retired after Indira Gandhi lost power. He knew her enemies will give some serious troubles to him as he was close to Indira Gandhi and knew every confidential information.
Kao was now pretty much retired. But that did not stop him.
Learning about the atrocities in Sri Lanka faced by the Tamils, its was Kao who helped Vellupillai Prabhakaran and his LTTE to setup intelligence and arming them. His intelligence and warfare techniques formed the basis of LTTE’s foundation that it was helping LTTE till 2009. They started to fail only when Sri Lanka allied with China. Its only with the Chinese help that Sri Lanka defeated Vellupillai Prabhakaran!
And RAW is not the only organization Kao founded. There is one more!
I am pretty sure you will know this one.
Back in 1980s when someone tells “Terrorists” , its not Muslims that comes to mind, but its the Sikhs!.. Terrorism is a word associated with many people over the years. Actually the word terrorists and assasins comes from Jews! They were the world’s first organized Terrorists, they were terrorizing the Roman Empire!.
Anyways, when there was Internal Terrorism, Kao realised that Police is not enough. So he used all his political powers to convince the government to setup:
National Security Guard! N.S.G !! ( The guys who captured Kasab and killed his friends )
Both RAW and NSG has been really influential in India and its security!
We all know pretty much how advanced US’s CIA and FBI are because of those fancy Hollywood movies. Well here is the power of India’s RAW! Hope someone makes a movie about Kao!
Kao is a intense private man. There are just 2 photographs of him. And here is one of them ->http://bit.ly/SWj3Y7
Note: There is also one more Master whom I would like to analyze. But his analysis will involve a very big post. Which I intend to post in a Facebook Page I created. Please like it if you have’nt yet. Unlike Kao I am pretty sure everybody knows who he is, but everybody sees his achievements but nobody sees his childhood, his hard years and his magnificient Mind. In future after his death, neuroscientists will dissect his brain to analyse its power! Will keep you posted on it.
