11th December 2019
in 2013 my elder Import who was 12 years old then …. introduced the word Nerd to highly innocent kids in his small experimental school...obviously the word became a mantra in the school ….
iohh the Amount I had to Pacify his course co-ordinator and the school counsellor and the Principal … to make a statement my kid started wearing socks of different pairs everyday ….. again I had to make a trip to school ….
the girls from that school are my kids best friends even now …. those kids were sooo united that they used 'co-operation' to change their uniform by refusing to wear it …. my elder Import got kids to stick to wearing the sports uniform on all 5 days of the week ….
finally the Founder of the school gave up and made my elder import in-charge of a group of kids who designed a new school uniform ….. she was a Cool Educationist and used to give my elder import extra time on weekends …. it was a big help for me during those years of single parenting
in fact from July 2013 to May 2016 …. I had countless meetings with teachers thanks to my elder Import from Mars ….
Note written on 11th December 2018
with my elder child I play tricks and cajole and ego massage him to read …. like after watching Raees … I told him to wait outside Crossword as I would take two minutes to buy a Murakami book for myself …. I used to go read in that bookstore those days.... .when kids were meeting friends in the mall …. he got upset at being asked to sit outside and went and bought the latest book in the Wimpy Kid series and read it in one go when we got home …. I realised my unconsciously said words had Hurt him …. we joke about his non reading ways …. and it used to not affect him one bit …
in fact he got some version of King Lear on YouTube …. and refused to read the book in his 8th grade … I was ecstatic when he passed 8th grade from the IB board …. I was expecting him to fail ….the level of math was tough …. I had to read quite a bit to teach him math …. then I took a tough decision to go the NIOS way when I saw the math syllabus for 9th grade in the IB board ….
in 2016 and 2017 he read the text books and did not memorise much ….. again I was beyond thrilled when he passed NIOS …. this year I have been ego massaging and tricking him to read …. finally ...he got hooked on to Robert Kiyosaki …. I guess I was giving him books by authors he could not connect to …. we discuss R Kiyosaki's work and words and it went further from there ….
my little one reads and his flow of language is something his teachers used to praise …. I have never had to focus on him during his school years …. he concentrated in class and his teachers used to praise his class participation and conscientiousness in doing homework…. my entire focus used to be on calling up the elder one's classmates to understand IF there was homework …. the elder kid Refused to write in his school diary …. from 2009 onwards I was getting called to meet his teachers on a regular basis ...thanks to his happy ways in school spl with regards to homework …
this year has been an eye opener …. the elder one settles down easily with instructions ….. whereas the little one will resort to all kinds of shenanigans and cry if nothing works …. we are still in the initial stages of assignment completion …. around 50days left to submit them ….
my elder Import made a time lapse video of his assignment completion in Jan 2017 when he got bored of writing …. LOL
I talk to kids in a gentle playfull way …. and then they sit down and do whatever I tell them …. the old way of parenting--the husband & I grew up with will not work with my kids …. plus forgetting the shifting of place of stay ….be it geographical and mental ...they have been through since 2012 is something my parents and their father keeps forgetting …..
I took an FB break quite late yesterday and while I was listening to something …. I could hear all 3 of them talking ….today morning I had a mutiny on my hands …. wrong choice of words with teenagers means I am back to Square one with everything … after quite a bit of talking in the morning ...finally I got them to settle down to writing ….
the saddest part about homeschooling is the interference …. however ….. in India even when one has a full time job and loads of other responsibilities …. the minute kids grade drop ….the mother gets All kinds of advice, taunts and what have yous ….
I grew up in a household where my dad taught us initially and from high school onwards we did all our studying on our own …. however the husband grew up in a household where the mother looked after their studies and then they had pvt coaching highschool onwards …. so the husband never helps with studies …. except for a once in blue blue moon interest …. looking after and helping with school work has been my area ….
sometimes I get tired of pushing the older kid to read …. however I doubt I will give up on making him read …. sometimes I use CR7's name in all kinds of ways to get him to read …. cite his business ventures and Fib Happily about how much CR7 might be reading ….. and blah blah blah :D
few days back when I was going on about something …. my elder kid said something about living alone and I said you have some hope ...to which my little one told his older brother …. mama will come and find us no matter where we live and make us read or listen to whatever she wants us to do …. and I said you can bet on such a possibility …. lol
the nuns in school ensured we said …. 'may we' and 'please' and 'thank you' …. and I keep telling my kids to use the magic words and sometimes I refuse to reply IF they do not use those words …..however in public they shock me by always forgetting to use Please …. repeat repeat and repeat some more …. I can not force my kids to go to college ...however if I can Ensure that they read and have an enquiring mindset and are Respectfull in their talk and behaviour …..these two years of homeschooling would not have been in vain ….
I realised they are in a phase when I suggested the little one take a Master class by Monsieur Ramsay …. and he did not want any kind of class … which made me think about the last school he went to ...he cried before and after school most days…. because we have been hearing about Mr Ramsay from him for the past 2 years ….every meal and sweet dish is judged from Mr Ramsay's pov (imagined) so much so that we have to make him seal his lips at dinner time on many occasions ...
2018 has been very tough on kids with the sudden shift back to Pune ...however … it has also been a year with the most relaxed pace of life we have Ever seen …..
their father grew up without reading literature ...his parents and older sister read books and told him stories …. I tried my best to make him read when he was in Pune and then I would courier books to him from Mumbai …. till I realised he read half of the 3rd book I had sent him …. after marriage I had to tell him stories from books I read and the regional films I watched on DD … after a point I gave up ….
now to go check on assignments given ….

Ant and the Grasshopper...a novel twist and it's Relevance...
Ant and Grosshopper - Indian Version of story - too good and a reflection of reality ...... in a humorous way
Original Story:
The Ant works hard in the heat all summer building its house and laying up supplies for the winter. The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs dances plays the summer away. Come winter, the Ant is warm and well fed. The Grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold.
Indian Version:
The Ant works hard in the draining intense heat all summer building its house and laying up supplies for the winter. The Grasshopper thinks the Ant's a fool and laughs dances plays the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the Ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.
NDTV, BBC, CNN show up to provide pictures of the shivering Grasshopper next to a video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.
The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this poor Grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the Ant's house.
Medha Patkar goes on a fast along with other Grasshoppers demanding that Grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during winter .
Mayawati states this as 'injustice' done on Minorities.
Amnesty International and Koffi Annan criticize the Indian Government for not upholding the fundamental rights of the Grasshopper.
The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking support to the Grasshopper (many promising Heaven & Everlasting Peace for prompt support as against the wrath of God for non-compliance) .
Opposition MPs stage a walkout. Left parties call for 'Bengal Bandh' in West Bengal and Kerala demanding a Judicial Enquiry.
CPM in Kerala immediately passes a law preventing Ants from working hard in the heat so as to bring about equality of poverty among Ants and Grasshoppers.
Lalu Prasad allocates one free coach to Grasshoppers on all Indian Railway Trains, aptly named as the 'Grasshopper Rath'.
Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the 'Prevention of Terrorism Against Grasshoppers Act'[POTAGA] , with effect from the beginning of the winter..
Arjun Singh makes 'Special Reservation' for Grasshoppers in Educational Institutions in Government Services.
The Ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, it's home is confiscated by the Government and handed over to the Grasshopper in a ceremony covered by NDTV, BBC, CNN.
Arundhati Roy calls it 'A Triumph of Justice'. # Lalu calls it 'Socialistic Justice'.
CPM calls it the 'Revolutionary Resurgence of the Downtrodden'
Koffi Annan invites the Grasshopper to address the UN General Assembly.
Many years later...
The Ant has since migrated to the US and set up a multi-billion dollar company in Silicon Valley ,
100s of Grasshoppers still die of starvation despite reservation somewhere in India ,
....AND
As a result of losing lot of hard working Ants and feeding the grasshoppers, India is still a developing country...!!
N.B.: I have no idea whose creative mind this has come out from, but this piece is awesome.
Now This Story...
The pandemic started and a month later I started going on and on and on and on and on and on about Islamic Banking...it's based on Simple Interest as opposed to Compound Interest charged by Banks World Over...
I Also am a Huge Fan of a Small Island Nation called Bahrain...as it had Zero Income Tax...
Notice How The Rest of The World labels Muslims and Arabs 'Terrorists' and Ironically these So Called Terrorists have Financial Systems which are The Most Benevolent ...
Zero Income Tax and Simple Interest and Nearly Zero Oil and Yet ...a Teeny Tiny Itsy Bitsy Beautiful Island Nation called Bahrain is a Financial and Tourist and Entrepreneurship and StartUp Hub in the Arab World...
I would get irritated with my American Online Friends I found on FB ...due to some work I did with a group I found thanks to A Lebanese Literary Big Wig I follow on FB...my American friends would feel bad that I lived in the Big Bad Backward Middle East and ask questions about Hijab in Bahrain and more jazz and I would Keep Repeating as to how Liberal Bahrain is...
I could not convince them about the Systems in Beautiful Liberal Bahrain... and after a point I let them wallow in their ignorance as Bahrain is an American naval base and hopefully some folks from the American Navy I met during the Bahrain Writers' Circle meetings would take on the Onus of Educating the American public about just how Liberal and Foreward Thinking The Monarch in Bahrain is... Ditto about the Monarch's Ancestors...
So if Bahrain with it's meagre oil reserves can Function Well with Zero Income Tax and Simple Interest...
Why Not The Rest of the World...
The Pandemic Practically Taught Us Nothing...
Individuals and Governments are Neck Deep in Debt... BUT...no one wants to Hear or Read about Simple Interest
Once upon a Time in the Distant Past ... America too had Zero Income Tax...
So my Question to the World is This...Why do we Want to Punish and Belittle...
Let us Be Encouraging... what Happened in Russia and France after the Nobles were Killed Brutally...
Animal Farm is Highly Educative... Kindly Read It...
My point is This...we have Ancient Systems in Education, Taxation and Militarianism and Governance...
Why Can't We ∆ for the Better???
Why can't we go for New Ways to Tax ...so that Tax Avoidance is the Norm and Not Tax Evasion...
We can Never Cure Greed in Rogues who join Politics for monetary gains and Machiavellian Power games...But ... Keep Aside the dirty politicians and rogues
Take Only Industry and The Ants of This World...
Take Artists who work in their 90s like Zohra Sehgal Ji and look at the level of Tax levied on such an Artist...is it Fair that we Refuse to See the Efforts she put in at such an advanced age when people are mostly bed ridden and taxing such an Artist is a crime I feel...
Similarly I take the Tatas and the early 90s ... insurgency was at it's Peak in assssssssssam and the Tea Executives at Tatas a soft target for the dirty insurgents...
Media and government officials harassed Tatas to the Nth Degree...I saw the Actual Ground Realities in assssssssssam and the effects of sic putrid Insurgency first hand... and I realised How Very Wrong the Government and media were in Hounding the Tatas...
Tea Company Executives have very little insurance coverage and Zero Lobbying and Zero Safety Nets...so when one gets kidnapped in assssssssssam and made to stay in the bungalow of another executive... Two Tea Companies are involved in some kidnappings and No One in India knows Or Cares as to How Very Bloody their cups of tea are...
My point is...if we Can Not Promote Industry at the Very Least let us Not Harm Industry and Everyone who Slogs their butt off to earn what they Do ...
Why do we as a Society believe in Greek Tragedy and Greek concepts of Retribution and Gory Gunky Poetic Justice???
Hmmm doesn't anyone Think about These Systems...
Zero income tax and Simple Interest???
I mean you folk Don't Like such Benevolent Concepts or it Pricks Your Conscience a Tad Too Much ehhh???
So Much So that one J Leader ordered a ban on me messaging for a Week ...mind you... for mentioning Islamic Banking and Simple Interest and mocking the Bank of International Settlements...
Ok I know that I am Not Diplomatic and Rude and Rowdy at times...
But tell me Kind J Sir ...am I to Blame for the Cruel Ways of This World that Honed my Rowdyism to a Kinda Dazzling Sheen ...
Why does the World keep Labelling Religions ... Christians labelled the Jews and Everyone Labels Islam and Few don't like Buddhists and from now on Hindus might get Labelled as India seems Hell Bent on becoming Post World War I Germany:( bigoted and Cruel in the Most Macabre and Barbaric way...
Yes the World could Do with More Charity and Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives ...But
Killing the Spirit of the Entrepreneurs who make up just 3% of the World Population is a Crime we should Rectify
Zero Income Tax would definitely lead to more CSR and charity and Exponential Increase in the Velocity of Circulation of Money
The Multiplier Effect of Just The Velocity of Circulation of Money will be Enough to Bring in a post pandemic Boom which could be Sustained For as long as the world is sensible and sane about Taxation and Militarianism
I Rest My Case ππΎ

Onam and Vegetarian food for a Demon King??? Hmmm:)
made this last year in Bahrain ...all alone ….3 types of oyizch kuttann (loose curry) and 7 types of kuttaan (curry/side dishes) ...papadams and a sweet dish … I was sooo dead beat by that time ….I served everyone and sent food for the building caretaker ….had just a few bites and went to zzzzzzzz …. ate properly at night …. by the time I was serving food ...I was desperate to zzzzzzz … LOL
I wonder who invented a vegetarian meal on Onam ...as Kerala was ruled by a very able and just Demon King called Mahabali … I wonder if Mahabali was vegetarian … this meal is made as a representation of the food that was eaten by All the citizens in Mahabali's kingdom …. as there was no cheating or lying nor stealing or any other ill in Kerala then … people were very prosperous and there was no poverty …. everyone could wear good clothes and eat well and lived happily ….
however imagine making soooooo much food everyday …. without a fridge …. we eat Onam fare for at least 4 days now … thanks to the fridge !!!

High Time for Permanent Cross Border Peace
If we Remove the Cross Border Hate between India, Pakistan and China.... Election Agenda and even Bollywood movies will take a HIT:(
National Fervour in a World where the Feku prides himself on Largest Titttar Following???
There Ends Everything About Cross Borders KAPISH
Yes I Bow down to those who passed
BUT don't You See WAR... for What it IS
Able bodied Men and Women Trained to KILL to benefit Politicians and Arms Dealers!!!
Pakistan and China are friends and are Collaborating on Infrastructure Projects
PMs Ex and Current.... Don't You See Where China has Reached... since 1951 ???
India and China started Planned Growth Together...
They have Major Human Rights Issues
But look at Where they are in Financial and Educational and Infrared and ohhh Yeah Bullet Trains and now Frontiers in Space!!!!!!!
Pakistan is Making Steady Progress since A Legend of A SportsStar is at the Helm....
So What is India waiting for...to Pull Up our socks ... Christmas and Beef fry ehhh:/

Tagore Ji's Words ππΎ
"I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times… In life after life, in age after age, forever. My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs, That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms, In life after life, in age after age, forever.
Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, its age-old pain, Its ancient tale of being apart or together. As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge, Clad in the light of a pole-star piercing the darkness of time: You become an image of what is remembered forever.
You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount. At the heart of time, love of one for another. We have played along side millions of lovers, shared in the same Shy sweetness of meeting, the same distressful tears of farewell- Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever."
~Rabindranath Tagore

Hypocrisy in India
If I don't get scared of Feku why should I care for Chennai or Tvpm Big Shots...
The TVPM bigshot mocked and openly taunted his junior citing a unique shade of green...such poor taste
Now take Chennai...dead Against Hindi... hypocrite...I purposely wished Yesudas Sir on his birthday with a song picturised on you Chennai to show the Hypocrisy in getting paid for speaking Hindi in Bwood and going back to Chennai and going All out against Hindi ehhhh
Check the Kerala government curriculum... everyone learns Hindi...
If an Artist can Not see the Majority of people using Hindi in this country... and thinks only about Tamil... I find the Tamilian govts stand on Hindi Absurd
Heyy I taught my kids Hindi first....coz if some creepy Insurgent killed me and spared my child...at least he will be able to talk and get help... Even in the sickest state in India, assssssam
Then jallikattu.. chasing bulls and injury and worse... Barbaric...
So let's Agree that we indians are Hypocrites and politicians change their colour faster than chameleons
Sooo if a Mallu supports a Sindhi against me...his life
And I have mine
BUT if I say Sony TV mauled me by Using a simple accident that Happened in Bahrain...
You Mallu. .you Dare Dare Not tell me that I was not Mauled Deliberately...KAPISH
So you changoo mangoo Mallu and Chennai... leave the Radio Stations Alone...
Look at what the Bahraini's did ...they have Changed and protected all the women who wrote to and on the UrFM wall ...
I will Always be indebted to the Bahraini govt for I started writing there
And to UrFM team ...no matter how bad the spats...I have them to Thank for Relentlessly featuring shows Denouncing Domestic Violence
ππΎ
Pacifists need to Lobby just as much as the Pro War Greedy Lobbies
The point I am trying to make is that... Enough of Killing and War with Neighbours... Leadership in Nations should really want Progress in this SAARC region... one nation alone can not bring about Peace
When those who Profit from War are So Very Well Organized
Why can't Pacifist Organise and Co-operate just as much as those Greedy destroyers...
Is it because the Pro War Lobby have money and those who champion Peace are Mostly Volunteers ???
So why don't more people volunteer their Voices for Peace???
Leverage half an hour or less each day and share your thoughts and keep doing so
Someday...words just about might Help bring about Peace on Earth ππΎ
Imran Bhai...my Pakistani connection I have never talked about
It was 2013 April and I was living in Bahrain... some things happened and I was having a Silly Spat with the Indian Radio Station in Bahrain
The National English Radio Station was on my side and the UrFM station was on a Sardarni lady's side
Silly Spat was a national game of sorts ... for those who knew :)
The RJs with 95.5 FM Radio Bahrain were RJ Mojo and RJ Imran... for an afternoon show when the Radio Bahrain vs UrFM station used to be on..
Western Pop vs Bollywood...
Interesting and Totally Mad fun LOL
And the Radio Bahrain vs UrFM was Fulltoo on ...I even used my son's Twitter account to send song Requests to RJ Mojo and he Very Kindly played them on air
Radio Bahrain would tell me the time repeatedly on days I had to go for a Bahrain Writers' Circle meeting...I am a scatter brain and can be quiet forgetfull at times...
Radio Bahrain earlier remind me when a Particular Malayalam segment I avoided on UrFM station would get over... and my Then Fav show on 104.2 UrFM would be on Air...
95.5 Radio Bahrain RJs were and remained my Bestest Well Wishers ...
Finally I got Bored of silly spats with the UrFM station and the work being done in bits and parts ...was going to go Formal as an online Anti-corruption Group
23rd April 2013 Ostracon was finally going online...
Everyone was worried about me going on to be an Activist...no matter however low-key
The UrFM people were worried and all the RJs from Mumbai and living in Bahrain...were hoping that I pivot
But
RJ Imran a Pakistani behaved like a True Blue Brother and Dude
He was on Air constantly and Repeatedly giving his email id on Air and practically begging me to Not join an Activist group...
That day I saw the Grace and Valour of a Pakistani Bhaijaan
Aadab Aarzz Hain Imran Bhai...I never Thanked You
But...I will Never Forget your stand on Caring for an Indian you wanted to protect in some way
That I was born to Speak Up and Always Stood Up and Spoke Unflinchingly about everything I didn't agree with .... right from childhood...is little too long a story... for another time;)

Musings
Getting elected to a Public Office involves Responsibility... How Many are Honouring The Responsibility and Power being given to them by the citizens who look up for guidance and progress
It's Strange how much Monarchs were targeted... the French Revolution and Guillotine
The Russian Revolution and a Firing Squad
Since the last year I keep Wondering... Collective Rage of an Entire Nation is Never Targeted at any one politician...
Has happened on Rarer occasions than what has happened to Monarchs...
Islamic Banking ... the need of the hour...to tackle the corona induced financial slump...
9/11 was a conspiracy...to target Muslims...
I grew up in an AirForce station... right from childhood I saw Krazy nonsense during cricket matches... and I would support Pakistan...as I thought it was being targeted...I understood Nothing but I had my Isms in place
My dad's friend a Mummadd(Mohammed)Uncle would teasingly call me Valiyamma (old woman) ...he would say that I was a 6 year old acting like a 60 year old Valiyamma... LOL
I used to go on about Pakistan as though it needed Adoption...I guess the single digit age me saw... people hitting on that country...I was being much abused during that time and I thought that somehow... Pakistan was being abused by people in the AirForce station...
Maturity saw me being a Pacifist...so I had peace as an Agenda... even when I was trying Desperately trying to get into the Indian Navy
While at the University...Prof Sahani who taught my MPhil class Statistics...used to say that I look like a Muslim... she would say this on the day when I wore an off-white Anarkali chiffon kurti and chudidar with chudi sleeves with a bright green chiffon dupatta:)
I usually forgot to use a Bindi and used Zero makeup except for Khol... Ergo the comment from Mam I guess...
Hmmm the Crux of my Article running Away LOL π
Back to Economics-my nemesis...
So when working with NNT and his merry gang of Highly Intel Gangstas ...I started reading about Conspiracy Theories...
And Fact Checked Articles about the 9/11 scam used to go after Muslims
Why is Religion Still Being Used to Spread HATE!!!!!!
It's Sickening...
I will Eternally Grateful that this Universe gave me an opportunity to get to see Bahrain
I fell in ❤️ with the Still Blue Sea and Beautiful Island that Bahrain is
I Adore the Bahraini Royal Family's Mindset...
What Graceful and Unique Muslims
The Real Deal ... Ergo a demented Iran hating and sending training gear for creating mayhem in Beautiful Bahrain
Bahrain had zero income tax and Simple Interest...
Islamic Banking is By Far The Bestest Trump Card ... Islamic Nations have..
And I saw how Bahrain has nurtured Finance and Entrepreneurship ...
During StartUp Weekend Bahrain I met quite a few Mentors
Talking to them was educative and I was Mighty impressed with Batelco Bahrain
A telecom bigwig there
What an Excellent Team and nearly All Bahraini employees..
Ahmed the chief coordinator knew my Team leader Mohammed, who was competing for the second time
Ergo he would keep coming and joking with us
Our team had two Bahraini engineers, one Pakistani Management person from Saudi Arabia and an Indian Sound Engineer from Asry-a govt shipping company, one Mallu Christian Soft SkillsTrainer and me
The sound engineer and I added women power to the team
So she and I went and talked to the mentors
Our team head- a Capricorn refused to look at or talk to any and every Mentor...he and the IT engineer his second in command were competing for the second time and needed no help
That is why Ms Chawla and I and sometimes the young man from Saudi Arabia talked to the mentors...but less than we should have...
What I figured during my stay in Bahrain and during my interactions with a few Intels from the West...is that... people have a Huge Misconception about the Muslim world and Bahrain in particular
Many would mock and ask if I followed hijab... and I would go grrrrrrrrr
What could anyone in the world know about the Extreme Hijab we women in Pune follow
We cover our entire face and head with cotton stoles and dupattas.. and are infamously called Bandit Queens of Pune
Hijab is a demand of Geography
As proved by Punekar women ok
Coming back to Banking
Question is...When the world has ganged up against The Muslim World and labels them as terrorist and targets them...
Why have the Muslim Nations not ganged up to Change The Face of Islam
In a world where Money is God
Why not Use Islamic Banking to Revolutionise Finance
If HSBC and StanChart and Citibank Bahrain follow Islamic Banking and Still Profit
Why didn't these Greedy Banksters not Use Islamic Banking principles to help humans avail of finance more easily...and give the Velocity of Circulation of money a Mega Multiplier Push
Gang up GCC and Islamic Nations around the world... and Bring Islamic Banking principles to the reach of people All over the World ππΎππΎππΎ
In a Corona riddled Torn and Tattered state of Business around the world...
Unite to Bring Momentum and Velocity to the process of Banking

On Auction
Tears and bits of my soul
Being chosen to be pecked to death
Very few are so blessed
The blessing morphs into a curse
When the soul doesn't die
The trying to survive the pecking
A calling I guess...

AIR
No government has used social media as much as the BJP...
All the National Networks are Used to beat up National Fervour and Spew Hate at neighbourhood countries... namely... Pakistan and China
In a country where there is a Law Against Intercaste marriages...
And Poor... mind you ...only poor Muslims fear for their security..
Where Hindu Fanatics who Drummed Up Anti Muslim Fervour leading up to the horrendous Dilli Riots !!!!!get lauded and freedom to drum up Hate...
Did any Victim get Justice???
The Victimizers are getting Accolades from the Indian Government
And Then on Saturday a show about a Muslim Army Officer who Sacrifices and showed Exemplary Valour????
Shahrukh Khan's mesmerizing voice too was used during the show...
Brilliant playlist and Excellent Nationalistic Secularism and jazz
But
My Question is Shahrukh Khan's wife is Hindu and the government has passed a law which makes him and his kind of interfaith couples Liable for Legal Penalty
Soooo many times this All India Radio has been Used by the Very Rich and The BJP
But
The small Inflection in the voices of the RJs employed by the Government run All India Radio...is the Real Win in this fight of Fair and Dark
Yes the RJs have a Conscience and it pricks them to read or speak what they have to or are Forced to:(
Baaki duniya Saab jaanti hain
But the Scores of people in far flung villages should hear debating about this law that makes Interfaith couples akin to Criminals
AIR is of, for and by the Poor
Leave it Alone BJP πΏπΏπΏ
And Congress and other opposition parties..
Learn Challbaazi/ Machiavellianism from this Fanatical Fascist Government
