Tamil Nadu should full fill its meaning………..

 

For the past 25 years I was closely watching the Tamil people crises in Srilanka and in rest of the world. Now I think the time has come to assert ourselves and our just rights.

 

The Government of India has let the Tamil people down. The Government of India has given 100 crores to Srilankan Government. The money was used to kill the Tamil un armed civilians. India has supplied with surveillance equipment and military assistance. Srilankan Government is happily killing Tamil people.

 

We are all thinking, the Srilankan army is fighting against the LTTE. It is utter wrong and far from truth. At present situation, the Army is more interested in killing as many Tamil people as possible. That is exactly the reason, 1.65 lacs Tamil people were set on to the field, without water, shelter and food. Any aid from out side the country is also stopped. The Srilankan wants the Tamils to die out of starvations. They want to wipe out the entire Tamil population or to silence the Tamils for ever. This is the truth.

 

The UN, USA, UK and other countries understand the situation well, India is far from this. The UN report says 6500 civilians were killed in for the past one month. The srilankan Government says, “how come you know it is civilian or a terrorist”.  The media says LTTE is using the people as human shield, is out of sense message. But the other way is the real truth. The army is using the LTTE as mask, to wage the war against the Tamils and the right to kill the Tamil people. The army keep killing Tamil people and said they are all dead on the cross firing. Now the Srilankan army knows very well, since the LTTE is contained in the small area, they can capture it at leisure. If you see the Srilankan army track record in killing and raping Tamil people, it is one of the worst.

 

Indian media is functioning as if the “agent” of Srilankan Government. Indian Government is behaving as if  “uncle” of Srilankans. All the political parties are acting like a jokers. The indifference of the Congress Government attitude towards the Tamil people should be punished in the LokShaba election. Former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi has made the Political blunder of helping the Srilankans. Now the present Congress Government has done the same. It should be thrown out of Tamil Nadu.

 

Now, I feel after seeing the indifference attitude of the rest of India. I don’t feel there is any pride in being an Indian. They let us down my sprite. I prefer to be a tamilian and ‘Tamil Citizen’. I wish to see the true meaning of Tamil ‘Nadu’ in Tamil.

My sense of Tamilian comes first.

 

I am great supporter of Tamilian cause in Srilanka. In the 80’s, during my school days I actively took participated in the protest against the sufferings of Tamil people in Srilanka. What the Srilankan’s doing is genocide. They simply want to terminate the Tamil populations. My passion for my own people is great, I consider myself Tamilian first, and then Indian. I have no second thought on this issue.

 

In the year 1994, When I was doing my management education at a prominent central University in India, we had an opportunity to listen to the speech of a Political leader of LTTE in our auditorium. At the time the sentiment was running high against the LTTE through out India. During the debate every body was pointing fingers at LTTE and termed it as terrorist organization. I was the one who called it as an organization fighting for the Tamils freedom and I stunned the entire audience and I wished the Tamils should separate country and freedom.

 

Now, the situation in Srilanka is a cause of concern. The sentiment among the Tamil people through out the world is with the Srilankan Tamils. We want the Srilankan Tamils to win the war. It is my wish also. When I spoke to a lot of Tamil people in Tamil Nadu, they also want, Tamilians to win the war.

 

There are some fundamental truth we have to understand, the first truth is “Srilankan Tamil problems and the “Armed Tamilians” issue cannot be separated”. If there is no “Armed Tamilians” in Srilanka, the Srilankan military will silence the entire Tamil Population in Srilanka with in 24 hours. If there is no Armed Tamilians”, there is no justice for the Tamils. I have come across some ‘genius’ political ‘think tank’ trying to find solutions by separating “Armed Tamilians” and Tamil civilian populations. It is not simply going to work. These people neither understand the ground realities nor the Srilankan ruling class.

 

“Armed Tamilians”  is a freedom fighting organization or a terrorist group it is a subject of debate. We will do the debate later, now we don’t have the time. Some body may tell “Armed Tamilians”  has arms in their hands and armed struggle is wrong. The axiom is “your enemy will decided which weapon you should take in your arm to fight”.  The truth is, it was the Srilankan ruling class and military that pushed the Tamilians to take arms in their hand.

 

I know why the Government of India, is silent on this issue. All the Indian neighbouring countries are all failed states. Pakistan has the terrible problem of running over by the Taliban. Nepal has the Maoist Government. Bangladesh is crumbling under internal problems.  Maoist Naxels  are already a big problem in the Red corridor - Jharkand, Chattisgar, Bihar, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh. The failing Bangladesh state is pushing up insurgents in North – Eastern states. I am literally in doubts, these North-eastern states, Assam, Megalya, Manipur, Tirupura, Mizoram, is there any law and order or is it part of India ?.

 

India doesn’t want to add “Armed Tamilians” problems in the South. The issue is really very tricky to handle. If India will not take a bold decision and act openly in favour of Tamil people at this critical juncture, there will be “displeasure” among the Tamil people in Tamil Nadu. This ‘displeasure” will be shown in the Lok sabha election 2009. This will have the long term “displeasure” and implications.

 

We Tamilians cannot stand as a mute spectators when the Tamilians are massacred on the other side of the ocean. The sense of Tamilians prevails over anything.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE BJP ??????

 

Bharathia Janatha Party (BJP) is not the party we can trust on and vote for. I have solid case against them.

 

First of all the core ideology. RSS and BJP are the same. Both of them share the same policies, Philosophies and ideas. Only fools will think they are different. BJP is representing the ‘Brahmins’ and ‘so called forward cast’. BJP is a forward cast party. BJP is not representing the “entire Hindu population”. The BJP is Hippocratic and utter false on claiming, they are the face of Hindus and they are representing the interest of the Hindus.

 

First time BJP showed their true colour was at the time of pulling down the VP Sing Government over the implementation of the Mandal Commission. The BJP don’t want to share their ‘space’ with the Other Backward Cast (OBC) people. It is proved beyond doubt that forward cast people have the ‘unwritten rule’ or ‘invisible understanding’ that they will favour or recruit or give opportunity only to their own people. They occupy all the best possible positions. They think it is their sole privilege. In fact it was.

 

Once I have seen Teachers, most of them are ‘cross bands’. Now it is open field. Once I have seen Bank staffs, most of them are Brahmins and forward cast, now it is open field. This example list will keep on going. Now a stage has come, we can do business, not even interacting with any body in this country and earn tons of money. Now the world is the play ground. The hard truth is the forward cast people is steady losing their grounds and they know the fact very well. It is the first time in my life I am able to see the Brahmins are really struggling and find it hard to make decent earnings.

 

The BJP representing the forward cast knows it and wants to consolidate their position. But the strategy and the weapon they have chosen is wrong. In fact it has back fired.

 

At the time VP Sing Government was pulled down, over Mandal Commission implementation, I was in Bihar, representing my Pondicherry State playing for the National Chess Championship. I know how the situation was. It is violent and terrible in support of VP Sing and Mandal Commission implementation. I have seen it in my own eyes. The media has taken the opposite stand.

 

The BJP should explain why it is against the OBC. There are lot of OBC in Hindus. Don’t rubbish with meritocracy.

 

The strategy and the weapon BJP has taken is the “Hindutuva” agenda and the “Ram temple”. Their intention is to kindle the passion among the Hindus. This lead to the demolition of the Babri Masjid. This was the starting point of the “communal division” politics in India. The out come is the “gun, bomb and terrorist culture” in India and rightly BJP is responsible for this.  

 

The reason for demolition of the Babri masjid was, Once there was a Ram temple at that place, Ayoudhya and it was destroyed by Aurangezeb and Babri masjid was built over it. It was a mistake. The same mistake was committed by the BJP in a more civilized and democratic world.

 

There was communal tension between Hindus and Muslims during the IndiaPakistan partition. But now it is different situation. After Babri masjid , followed by Mumbai riots and Gujrat carnage, there is no end in sight. After Muslims hit back with Guns and bombs the division between the Hindus and Muslims become permanent. The fear psycho between the two communities becomes permanent. The entire credit goes to the BJP.

 

After their experiment with the Muslims, BJP want to do the same thing with the Christians also. The stage was set at the Kandhamal in Orissa. The BJP Government in Madhya Pradesh move against the Christians Institutions property is of bad taste.

 

The BJP wants to dump both the Muslims and Christians out of this country or both the community should keep low profile. It is not possible. BJP is chewing something it cannot swallow. But what the BJP don’t know is the back fire of its divisive agenda.

 

What I am going to tell now is a hard fact. It is not easily digestible. It is a dangerous trend the country is moving along. Now all the Vanniyars are coming together, all the Nadars forming an association, Yadavs are forming together, Gujjars are making together, Marathi…., telugu….., all forming separate organization for their community… and in India you know the list will never end.

 

They all form groups, they will help with in the group. Out side the group !?.... They are going to fight with each other for their own space.

 

Well done BJP you have divided this country successfully…………But where is your space ?????????

The Japanese Election

The Parliament of Japan is called the Diet (kokkai), which is made up of the House of Representatives (shuugi-in) and the House of Councilors (sangi-in). The House of Representatives has 500 members and the House of Councilors has 252. 

The members of both houses are elected by direct vote of the people. All men and women who have reached the age of 20 have the right to vote (women were given the right to vote in 1945).

Because Japan adopted the parliamentary cabinet system (giinnaikakusei), the prime minister (shushou or souri-daijin) is designated by the both houses of the Diet among its members, before the conduct of any other business. For that purpose, each conducts a ballot under the run-off system. If the two houses choose different individuals, then a joint committee of both houses is appointed to agree on a common candidate. Ultimately, however, if the two houses do not agree within ten days, the decision of the House of Representatives is deemed to be that of the Diet. Therefore, the House of Representatives can theoretically ensure the appointment of any Prime Minister it wishes. The candidate is then formally appointed to office by the Emperor.

The Prime Minister must resign if the House of Representatives adopts a motion of no confidence or defeats a vote of confidence, unless the House of Representatives are dissolved within ten days.

 

The Prime ministerial candidates also must be civilians, though all the Japanese are civilians since there is no military. Prime minister chooses state ministers (daijin), a majority of whom must be Diet members. 

Their terms of service are 4 years for the House of Representatives and 6 years for House of Councilors. Unlike local council members, who usually serve out their full terms, the members of the House of Representatives are usually interrupted in their terms by House dissolution and general elections. 

That's one of reasons that Japanese Prime Ministers change so often. Japan has had seven different Prime Ministers in during Clinton's administration. Most Japanese are not very political due to the way the prime minister is chosen.

Here are the Japanese Prime Ministers from the past 10 years (Family names are written first).
