THE DAY OF AASHOORAA (10th MUHARRAM)
From out of the four sacred months, Muharram has been blessed with certain specific virtues. The Holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said: The best of fasts besides the month of Ramadhaan is the fasting of Allah's month of Muharram and the best of salaat besides the fardh (compulsory) salaat is the tahajjud salaat (performed after midnight before dawn).
(Muslim Vol.1 Page 368)
In another hadeeth, Ibne Abbas radhiyallahu anhu reports that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam said: He who fasts on the day of Arafah (9th Zil Hijjah), his fast will be a compensation for the sins of two years and the one that keeps a fast in the month of Muharram will receive the reward of thirty fasts for each fast (in this sacred month).
(Tabraani, At Targheeb Wat Tarheeb Vol.2 Page 114.)
THE DAY OF AASHOORAA (10th MUHARRAM)
The tenth day of this sacred month, Muharram is known as Aashooraa. It is one of the most important and blessed days of Allah in the Islaamic calendar. Some ulamaa (scholars) are of the opinion that before the fasts of Ramadhaan were made compulsory, the fast of the day of Aashooraa was compulsory upon the ummah. This is stated in a hadeeth reported by Aaishah radhiyallahu anha that the Holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam ordered the observance of the fast of Aashooraa. However, when the fast of Ramadhaan became compulsory, then whosoever wished, kept this fast and whosoever desired did not observe this fast.
(Bukhari Vol.1 Page 268)
But, nevertheless the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam continued to fast this day and encouraged his Companions to do the same. Ibne Abbas radhiyallahu anhu says: I did not see Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam anxiously await the fast of any day, which he gave preference to over other days, but this day, the day of Aashooraa.
(Bukhari Vol.1 Page 268)
Humayd Ibne Abdur Rahamaan narrates that he heard Mu'aawiyah Ibne Abi Sufyaan radhiyallahu anhu on the day of 'Aashooraa, during the year he performed hajj, saying on the pulpit: "O the people of Madinah! Where are your ulaama (scholars)? I heard Rasullullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam saying: This is the day of Aashooraa. Allah has not enjoined its fasting on you but I am fasting it. Whosoever wish, keep (this) fast and whosoever desires do not observe (this fast)."
(Bukhari Vol.1 Page 268)
In another hadeeth, Ibne Abbas radhiyallahu anhu narrates that the Holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam came to Madinah and found the Jews fasting on the day of Aashooraa. Hence the Holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam inquired of them, "What is (the significance of) this day on which you fast?" They replied, "This is a great day. On this day Allah saved Moosa and his people and drowned Fir'awn and his nation. Thus Moosa alayhis salaam fasted on this day as a token of thanksgiving, therefore we too fast on this day." The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam said, "We are more worthy of Moosa and nearer to him than you." Thereafter, the Holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam fasted on this day and ordered (his Companions) that a fast be kept on this day."
(Muslim Vol.1 Page 359)
RECOMMENDED DEEDS ON THE DAY OF AASHOORAA
* The Holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam has exhorted and encouraged his ummah to fast on this day. Abu Qataadah radhiyallahu anhu narrates that the Holy Prophet sallahllahu alayhi wasallam was asked regarding the fast of the day of Aashooraa. The Holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam replied: "It is a compensation for the (minor) sins of the past year".
(Muslim Vol.1 Page 368)
NOTE:- It must be borne in mind that wherever a promise of forgiveness of sins is made upon the fulfilment of some action, it is only the minor sins that are forgiven. The major sins are not forgiven without true tawbah (repentance).
* One should also observe the fast of the 9th Muharram to safeguard his deed from resemblance with the non-muslims who fast only on the 10th Muharram. Ibne Abbas radhiyallahu anhu said: When Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam observed the fast of the day of Aashooraa and ordered (his Companions) to fast, they said, "O Rasulullah! It is a day revered by the Jews and Christians." Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam said, "The coming year, if Allah wills, we will fast on the ninth (also)".
(Muslim Vol.1 Page 359)
These ahadeeth indicate clearly that one should fast on the ninth and tenth of Muharram. However, if one does not manage to fast on the ninth, then he should fast on the eleventh of Muharram instead. The Holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said: "Observe the fast of Aashooraa and oppose the Jews. Fast a day before it or a day after."
(Bayhaqi)
Hence, it is important to either fast on the ninth and tenth of Muharram or the tenth and eleventh. To fast only on the day of Aashooraa is makrooh tanzeehi as stated by Allamah Ibne Aabideen Shaami.
* One should be generous on one's family and dependants and spend more on them than what is normally spent. Abu Hurayrah radhiyallahu anhu reports that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam said: "One who generously spends on his family on the day of Aashooraa, Allah will increase (his provision) for the whole year".
(Bayhaqi, At Targheeb Wat Tarheeb Vol.2 Page 116)
These are the only actions supported by ahaadeeth.

It was murder most foul
SIT says 2004 killing of Ishrat by Gujarat police was staged
A Special Investigation Team appointed by the Gujarat High Court has concluded that the sensational Ishrat Jahan encounter of June 15, 2004 — in which the Ahmedabad police claimed they shot dead four Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists on a mission to assassinate Narendra Modi — was entirely staged and the teenaged girl from Maharashtra and the three men who died with her were, in fact, murdered by policemen in cold blood.
After the Sohrabuddin fake encounter case, this is the second time the Gujarat police's claim to have saved their Chief Minister from assassination has come a cropper. On Monday, a Division Bench of the Gujarat High Court, comprising Justices Jayant Patel and Abhilasha Kumari, accepted the SIT's report and ordered the government to file a fresh FIR under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code — murder — for investigation against the policemen involved in the encounter. Ironically, the earlier FIR was under the now-repealed Prevention of Terrorism Act, after the police claimed all the four were LeT operatives were looking to avenge the 2002 riots.
Apart from Ishrat Jahan, the others killed in the fake encounter were Javed Sheikh, aka Pranesh Pillai, a native of Kerala, and Amjad Ali Rana and Zeeshan Johar, whom the police claimed were Pakistanis but whose identity has never been fixed with certainty.
The three-member SIT, headed by the Bihar-cadre IPS officer, Rajiv Ranjan Verma, had submitted its report in a sealed cover before the Division Bench on November 18. Justice Patel refused to disclose the details of their findings, but said the SIT had reached the “unanimous conclusion” that the Ishrat Jahan encounter was “not a genuine one” and that the four were “not killed at the date, time and place” notified by the police. This clearly indicated that the four were in police custody earlier and killed at some other place and time, and the bodies were dumped on the road near Kotarpur, on the outskirts of Ahmedabad, in the early hours of June 15, 2004.
The police had earlier claimed that the four were travelling in a blue Tata Indica driven by Pranesh Pillai from Surat and that on prior information they intercepted the car near Kotarpur and in “exchange of fire,” the four were killed in the “encounter.”
A judicial inquiry into the encounter, conducted routinely by Ahmedabad metropolitan magistrate S.P. Tamang, concluded in his report submitted on September 7, 2009 that the encounter was fake and they were “executed in cold blood by the police officials for their benefit.”
The court observed that the case required “fresh investigation,” but has yet to decide which agency will conduct it: the SIT, or some Central agency, particularly the Central Bureau of Investigation or the National Investigation Agency. Justice Patel said the court would decide on this after hearing all the parties on November 23, including the Centre.

Last Sermon of the Messenger of Allaah (Peace be upon him)
As-salamu Alaikum,
We ll remember once again the below speech in this Dhul Hijjah month which was given by our Prophet pbuh on same Dhul Hijjah on Arafah day 1400+ yrs before...
Last Sermon of the Messenger of Allaah (Peace be upon him)
This Sermon was delivered on the Ninth Day of Dhul Hijjah 10 A.H in the Uranah Valley of mount Arafat
"O People, lend me an attentive ear, for I don't know whether, after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefore listen to what I am saying to you carefully and take these words to those who could not be present here today.
O People, just as you regard this month, this day, this city as Sacred, so regard the life and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods entrusted to you to their rightful owners. Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you. Remember that you will indeed meet your Lord, and that He will indeed reckon your deeds. Allaah has forbidden you to take usury (Interest), therefore all interest obligation shall henceforth be waived...
Beware of Satan, for your safety of your religion. He has lost all hope that he will ever be able to lead you astray in big things, so beware of following him in small things.
O People, it is true that you have certain rights with regard to your women, but they also have right over you. If they abide by your right then to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in kindness. Do treat your women well and be kind to them for they are your partners and committed helpers. And it is your right that they do not make friends with any one of whom you do not approve, as well as never to commit adultery.
O People, listen to me in earnest, worship Allaah, say your five daily prayers (Salaah), fast during the month of Ramadaan, and give your wealth in Zakaat. Perform Hajj if you can afford to. You know that every Muslim is the brother of another Muslim. You are all equal. Nobody has superiority over other except by piety and good action.
Remember, one day you will appear before Allaah and answer for your deeds. So beware, do not astray from the path of righteousness after I am gone.
O People, no prophet or apostle will come after me and no new faith will be born. Reason well, therefore, O People, and understand my words which I convey to you. I leave behind me two things, the Qur'an and my example, the Sunnah and if you follow these you will never go astray.
All those who listen to me shall pass on my words to others and those to others again; and may the last ones understand my words better than those who listen to me directly. Be my witness oh Allaah that I have conveyed your message to your people."

Subject: Fasting on the day of Arafah is an expiation the sins for two years
As- Salamu Alaikum,
Fasting on the day of Arafah is an expiation the sins for two years.:
The ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah is the day of ’Arafah, since it is on this day that the pilgrims gather at the mountain plain of ’Arafah, praying and supplicating to their Lord. It is mustahabb (highly recommended) for those who are not pilgrims to fast on this day.
The Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) was asked about fasting on the day of ’Arafah, so he said, “It expiates the sins (Minor) of the past year and the coming year.”
-[Muslim (no. 1162)]

Narrated by al-Nasaa’i, 4/205 and by Abu Dawood; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood, 2/462Not everyone can go on Hajj, and certainly not every year, but this Day of Arafa is one of the great gifts of Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) that people all over the world can benefit from. On this day, Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) grants fasting Muslims forgiveness for their
faults of two years, if they have committed any, if not, Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) elevates their degree in Paradise.
Make a note of this day on your calendar, so that you remember to celebrate it by fasting and making dhikr, dua and istighfar.

Onions are Beneficial for Your Health
Onions are beneficial to health
What would life be like without onions? The onion has been used as an ingredient in various dishes for thousands of years by many cultures around the world. World onion production is steadily increasing so that onion is now the second most important horticultural crop after tomatoes.
There are many different varieties of onion, red, yellow, white, and green, each with their own unique flavor, from very strong to mildly sweet. Onions can be eaten raw, cooked, fried, dried or roasted. They are commonly used to flavor dips, salads, soups, spreads, stir-fry and other dishes.
Onions (Allium cepa) belong to the lily family, the same family as garlic, leeks, chives, scallions and shallots.There are over 600 species of Allium, distributed all over Europe, North America, Northern Africa and Asia. The plants can be used as ornamentals, vegetables, spices, or as medicine. There are over 120 different documented uses of the Alliums.
Onion and other Allium vegetables are characterized by their rich content of thiosulfinates, sulfides, sulfoxides, and other odoriferous sulfur compounds. The cysteine sulfoxides are primarily responsible for the onion flavor and produce the eye-irritating compounds that induce lacrimation. The thiosulfinates exhibit antimicrobial properties. Onion is effective against many bacteria including Bacillus subtilis, Salmonella, and E. coli. Onion is not as potent as garlic since the sulfur compounds in onion are only about one-quarter the level found in garlic.

Onion is effective against many bacteria including Bacillus subtilis, Salmonella, and E. coli. Onion is not as potent as garlic since the sulfur compounds in onion are only about one-quarter the level found in garlic.
The Value of Onions
Onions have a variety of medicinal effects. Early American settlers used wild onions to treat colds, coughs, and asthma, and to repel insects. In Chinese medicine, onions have been used to treat angina, coughs, bacterial infections, and breathing problems.
The World Health Organization (WHO) supports the use of onions for the treatment of poor appetite and to prevent atherosclerosis. In addition, onion extracts are recognized by WHO for providing relief in the treatment of coughs and colds, asthma and bronchitis. Onions are known to decrease bronchial spasms. An onion extract was found to decrease allergy-induced bronchial constriction in asthma patients.
Onions are a very rich source of fructo-oligosaccharides. These oligomers stimulate the growth of healthy bifidobacteria and suppress the growth of potentially harmful bacteria in the colon. In addition, they can reduce the risk of tumors developing in the colon.

Cardiovascular Help
Onions contain a number of sulfides similar to those found in garlic which may lower blood lipids and blood pressure. In India, communities that never consumed onions or garlic had blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels substantially higher, and blood clotting times shorter, than the communities that ate liberal amounts of garlic and onions. Onions are a rich source of flavonoids, substances known to provide protection against cardiovascular disease. Onions are also natural anticlotting agents since they possess substances with fibrinolytic activity and can suppress platelet-clumping. The anticlotting effect of onions closely correlates with their sulfur content.
Cancer Prevention
Onion extracts, rich in a variety of sulfides, provide some protection against tumor growth. In central Georgia where Vidalia onions are grown, mortality rates from stomach cancer are about one-half the average level for the United States. Studies in Greece have shown a high consumption of onions, garlic and other allium herbs to be protective against stomach cancer.
Chinese with the highest intake of onions, garlic, and other Allium vegetables have a risk of stomach cancer 40 percent less than those with the lowest intake. Elderly Dutch men and women with the highest onion consumption (at least one-half onion/day) had one-half the level of stomach cancer compared with those consuming no onions at all.
Western Yellow, New York Bold, and Northern Red onions have the richest concentration of flavonoids and phenolics, providing them with the greatest antioxidant and anti-proliferative activity of 10 onions tested. The mild-tasting Western White and Vidalia onions had the lowest antioxidant content and lowest anti-proliferative activity. The consumer trend to increasingly purchase the less pungent, milder onion varieties may not be the best, since the onions with a stronger flavor and higher astringency appear to have superior health-promoting properties.

Use and Safety
Onions have a universal appeal. They are safely consumed by most people. However, consuming large quantities of onions can lead to stomach distress and gastrointestinal irritation that may result in nausea and diarrhea. There are no known interactions with drugs except that they can potentiate the action of anticoagulants.
Conclusion
Onions, and other Allium species, are highly valued herbs possessing culinary and medicinal value. Some of their beneficial properties are seen after long-term usage. Onion may be a useful herb for the prevention of cardiovascular disease, especially since they diminish the risk of blood clots. Onion also protects against stomach and other cancers, as well as protecting against certain infections. Onion can improve lung function, especially in asthmatics. The more pungent varieties of onion appear to possess the greatest concentration of health-promoting phytochemicals.

Health Ministry activates Haj emergency services
The Ministry of Health has launched an emergency service to Haj pilgrims with 135 ambulances supported by 350 doctors in the holy city of Makkah.
"The services will be intensified from Nov. 4 to 9 in places such as Arafat, Muzdalifah and Mina," Dr. Tariq bin Salim Al-Arnos, chairman of the emergency and field medical services committee of the Ministry of Health, announced here on Wednesday.
Al-Arnos explained that the fleet of ambulances included 80 mini ambulances and 55 large vehicles that would be used to ferry sick Hajis from the medical clinics to hospitals in Jeddah.
"We have deployed mini ambulances so that the vehicles could creep even into the large crowd of pilgrims, who would be using the roads and alleys," the official said, adding that the Saudi Red Crescent Authority (SRCA) would also detail five air ambulances to transport patients in emergency situations in cooperation with the General Authority for Civil Aviation.
The official said the entire fleet of ambulances is fully equipped with all modern facilities to carry intensive care unit patients on board. The paramedics who will be in the vehicles are qualified to handle all types of patients in emergency situations, he said.
"We have also trained our staff for any medical evacuation plans, and we have reviewed and rechecked all medical and safety equipment in hospitals, especially those for detection of smoke and heat, and fire alarms," Al-Arnos said.
"We have completed 17 emergency centers at the Jamrat Bridge," he noted, adding that they are manned by 130 doctors and nurses around the clock.
The five medical helicopters that will be in use during Haj will serve the holy sites and ring roads around Makkah and Madinah.
Besides the helicopters, about 150 SRCA personnel, including pilots, doctors, engineers and technicians, will be on hand around the clock.
Pilgrims can also report emergencies to the Saudi Red Crescent Authority by calling 997.
Helipads have been arranged in five hospitals to receive patients who need emergency treatment during the season. The five hospitals are King Abdullah Medical City, Al-Noor Specialist Hospital, the Emergency Hospital in Mina, Arafat General Hospital and Hira Hospital.
To offer a comprehensive service to the pilgrims, Al-Arnos said the mobile unit would move with the pilgrims during the final phase of the Haj from Arafat to Muzdalifah and then finally to Mina.

First Aid Kits
First Aid Kits
(c) Rod Brouhard
Get a Container for Your First Aid Kit
Your first aid kit should be accessible and portable. You aren't going to pack the kitchen sink in your first aid kit, but you want it to be big enough to carry the basics. A small tackle box makes a good first aid kit, or it can be as simple as a resealable freezer bag. Consider the type of first aid kit you plan to build and where you will keep your it.Where to Keep Your First Aid Kit
First aid kits have a habit of ending up in the backyard, upstairs, at the curb, out in the garage, etc. Keeping your home first aid kit in a central location helps to keep it accessible during large or small emergencies. It's a good idea to maintain different first aid kits for the home and each car. Different first aid kits mean they will be available at all times. Some places to keep first aid kits:- bathroom cabinets
- kitchen cabinets
- car (glove compartment is most accessible)
- boat
- workshop
- garage
- playground
- classroom
- church
The Most Important Item for a Car or Boat First Aid Kit
When planning a car or boat first aid kit, there is only one item that is absolutely necessary. No matter what you pack for bandaging material, splints, or even if you have a shield for doing mouth to mouth, your first aid kit must have a cellular phone. There is no better tool in the event of an emergency. If you can't access emergency medical services, your car or boat first aid kit is not complete.Cellular phones need to have enough battery power to turn on, but they don't need a contract with a service to call 9-1-1. Federal law mandates that cell phones must be able to reach 9-1-1 anytime the number is called, regardless of the service agreement. Take that old cell phone you don't use anymore and put it in your first aid kit for emergencies. If you don't have one, there are programs to unite old, unused cell phones with people who need them for emergencies.
Medical Information for Your First Aid Kit
While not part of your first aid kit, anyone with a medical problem should have that medical information easily accessible at all times. There are several ways to organize medical information and make it available to rescuers.For the rest of your first aid kit, you'll need:

Modi fast; Bypassing Congress Muslims; J&K: maintain pre-1953 status
Narendra Modi’s fast has two clear implications, first either his is genuine change of heart towards Muslims falling short of saying sorry for 2002.Two,he is trying to show that he was sensitive to their needs so that he can easily mount the Delhi throne. It is ironical that a Muslim baiter now desperately needs them to project his benign image. If Modi means what he says, then it may be a watershed in Hindu Muslim relations and communal tensions can be a thing of the past. If he becomes the prime minister and reverts to being a poster boy of Hindutva, then god saves Muslims. So there are two basic requirements that ModI should satisfy. First he should stand tall over Sangh Parivar and make them see reason. Two, he should atone for 2002 by offering apologies and by generously compensating the victims. However, international implications of Modi becoming India’s prime minister should not be lost site of. Imagine the leader of a major country delivering an address on human rights in the UN General Assembly but having a terrible record of mass murders. If that PM is Modi then it can be devastatingly embarrassing for India.

The Supreme Court’s order over the petition filed by the widow of former MP Ehsan Jaffery, who was killed in the Gulberg Society carnage, is being deliberately misinterpreted by the BJP as a clean chit to Narendra Modi. The way a few electronic news channels went gaga inferring the verdict as a reprieve to Mr.Modi is appalling. Some media houses have gone a step further to portend Mr.Modi as a fit case for the BJP’s future Prime Ministerial candidate. One must remember that, the Supreme court had taken a sympathetic view over Ms.Jaffery’s petition filed in the year 2006 and directed the SIT to probe the alleged complicity of Mr.Narendra Modi and others in the post Godhra riots. Again, the Supreme Court appointed amicus curiae in the Gulberg Society case, to investigate independently on the complaint filed by Zakia Jaffery. What is disappointing however, is that the apex court, by asking the SIT to submit its final report in the magistrate court, has pushed the matter back to square one, conforming to the adage “justice delayed is justice denied”.

It is alarming to read that Narendra Modi will be BJP`s prime ministerial candidate for the next Lok Sabha elections in 2014. It is time for all Muslims to unite and vote en-block to one party at the centre. At state level they can choose any secular party of their choice but at the centre if all do not give vote to one party then he will sure to become the Prime Minister and turn every state into a Gujarat State. So even though Muslims could not get much congress they do not have any other choice for the lok sabha elections. For Modi `s thoughts please refer to RSS and VHP websites for their ideology. He is a Fascist and wishes to kill all non-hindus! Remember more than 10000 muslim men, women, and children were killed, raped and tortured in Gujarat. Remember Advani`s speeches, Remember Babri Masjid, Remember the riots the country had and the number of Muslims who were killed and tortured. The BJP will sure to show its true colours when it gets power at the centre. It will change the constitution, implement uniform cil code and exterminate Muslims. Let us not repeat the same mistakes of the past when Vajpai became the PM. This time their lives are at stake. No doubt Congress has kicked Muslims but BJP will sure to go for the Kill. So which is better? Kick or a kill?

Mahatma Gandhi is father of nation but more than this identity, he was a personality who gave us the tools of non violence and sacrifice: “The Satyagrah”. We all know that Satyagrah is a tool to become inclined ourselves towards spiritualism, towards purity of soul and towards self control. But nowadays everybody can see that how some selfish people are misusing the name of Gandhi and his tool of Satyagrah. We all already know that how the same Gujrat, the birth place of Mahatma Gandhi, has become witnessed of violence and politics of hate. Some people destroyed the Gandhian values, integrity and harmony of society. Now the same people are trying to market their fast on the name of Satyagrah. This is absolutely objectionable because it is totally against with the concept and objective of Gandhian Satyagrah. The recent drama of Modi’s fast shows that politicians are ready to sell the values, only to make their personal benefits. This was not the time when there was any issue to observe the fast. Fast on the name of harmony by Modi Ji is itself a joke. Reality of Gujarat is known to everyone. Mere clean chit by court in lack of sufficient proof never mean that riots victims will forgive the accused persons. Why there were no fast observed after the riots?

Guajrat Cheif Minister Narendra Modi was on fast for social harmony for three days during 17-19 September in Ahmedabad. Almost all the sections of the society took part knowingly or unknowingly, voluntarily or forcibly. The so called Muslim leaders and ordinary Muslims (mostly illiterate and paid) remained present at the venue. Mainstream media has highlighted only one side of the coin. Let us see the other side of the coin. Let us hear opinions and views of certain Muslims who came over to Ahmedabad from various parts of the Gujarat. (1) One of the participants from Rajkot said that they have been brought in Ahmedabad in A C bus and have been paid wages for one day by BJP. They do not know the purpose for which they have been brought to Ahmedabad. (2) One of the participants from Surat said that they have come over in Ahmedabad for picnic. They do not know what is going on here (3 ) One of the riot affected persons who came from Vadodara was not allowed to hand over his memorandum to CM . He said that those Muslims who came over here are “bikau” persons, who have not undergone pains of 2002 riots. We have seen our dear ones being killed and raped and are still waiting for justice. (4) Riot victims from Godhra called the Muslims attending CM’s fasting as rented and shameless Muslims.

The utter refusal of Mr.Narendra Modi to put on skull cap offered by so called cleric has only insulted Islam and exposed his game plan to resort all permutation and combination to realise his dream of becoming the next PM of India. It amply makes it clear that he has done so to get persuasion from the Hindu community and keep them united on communal ground. Of course, those clerics must think twice before attending the Programme. Modi wants to give a communal colour to accomplish his program.

In April this year Hazare had praised Modi’s development work in Gujarat, only to invite flak for overlooking the state’s poor law and order record under the chief minister. A month later, Hazare said he was dismayed by the level of corruption in the state saying, “When I went to Gujarat, I saw scams in the state and therefore decided to retract my earlier statement.” Now Anna Hazare should ask Modi to disclose to people how his sadbhavna show was financed.

N.R. Madhava Menon, the legal luminary, has said; don’t think for the common man a grievance is any different from an FIR [first information report]. A legend goes that when Lal Bahadur Shastri was the union railway minister and a major railway accident took place. Shastri, taking the moral responsibility for it, resigned forthwith. There was not even a hint of a suggestion from any source that he is directly or indirectly responsible for the accident. During the Sadbhaavna mission of Narendra Modi a journalist suggested to him if he would accept moral responsibility for the events of Gujarat 2002. Narendra Modi expressed outrage at such a suggestion. His counter question was, all the FIRs registered in connection with the 2002 riots, have you anywhere seen the name Modi? The very absence of an FIR filed against him is taken by the chief minister is taken by him as the evidence of his clean hands.

The three-day fast for peace drama was staged by Modi only to divert public attention from his government avenging treatment with the brave IPS officers like Sanjiv Bhat who dared expose the reality about Gujarat governments? involvement in the 2002 riots. There are no two opinions that these officers are facing prosecution merely because they tried to bring before the world the truth that exposes the real face each time and again is tried to be made hidden behind the slogans of so-called inclusive and rapid progress by the Hindutva play boy. It is surprising that the person who shattered peace in Gujarat was on a mission to propagate peace and harmony among Indians.

Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi ended his three day fast at the hands of all religious representatives at Ahmedabnad on Monday (19.09.11) evening. Syedna BURHANUDDIN SHAB THE HEAD OF DAWOODI BOHRA COMMUNITY deputed some ladies robed in Community Dress to greet Modiji for his successful fast(it is supposed that witout Raza of Syedna Saheb nothing is performed even meetin gof husband/wife is regulated by Raza) The Press captioned the group of ladies as representatives of Muslim Community.The question arises whether Muslim Community accept this representation on their behalf. As on the other hand Gujrat Cheif Minister Narendra Modi refused to put on “Skull Cap” offered by a muslim cleric during his three day Sadbhavana fast here. May I request The Ulemas of Deoband, Barelly and other Distinguished Accademic personalities to let know the Umma about the relations between Bohra community and Muslim at large. in the light of newspapers heading and caption published in various newspapers.Should we take the representation of Bohra ladies as representation of Muslim at large.

Life is full of strange paradoxes. The best example is the fast taken by Narendra Modi for three days in the name of Sadbhavna (Harmony), to mark complete peace, unity and harmony. This came in the backdrop of the Supreme Court verdict which has asked the trial court to examine all the evidence and amicus curie’s report so that his culpability or otherwise in Gulbarg society case is decided. The SC order has directed the Special Investigation Team to file its final report into the allegations of Narendra Modi being the architect-in-chief of the 2002 Gujarat massacre. Ironically, this was interpreted by BJP as a clean chit to Modi. Which made Modi in turn took sigh of relief and pronounced, ‘God is great’. However, if God shows greatness to those families affected in riots, then what would Modi pronounce. Modi is trying to deflect all the criticism against him by saying that it is an insult to the six crore Gujaratis. This ploy may not work as a large number of citizens from Gujarat know that Modi may be the elected Chief Minister of Gujarat, but he is not the one who represents the essence of ‘Gujarat of Gandhi’ or Gujarat of dalits, Adivasis and Minorities. Modi has done his best to create an image of ‘man of development’, but the real credit goes to the policies which have supported the large corporate houses, who have got state loans at minimal rate of interest, while the fact is the farmers continued to commit suicide burdened by loans etc. It is remarkable that while ‘vibrant or shining Gujarat’ is projected, the ‘whining Gujarat’ is cleverly hidden from public vision. The claims of Harmony in Gujarat are far from true.

Why there is a sign of repent at this time after a decade. Why not at the time of 2002? At that time, Modi was the Hitler of modern Gujarat who crossed all the brickbats of human civilization and become an ugly monster. Modi knows well after the verdict of Supreme Court he would certainly come for justice. He repented for his sins, which he committed earlier. His fast is nothing but purification before death. Mr. Modi in his open letter to the people of the Nation and Gujarat dedicated his fast to the society and basically aims for the unity, harmony and brotherhood. Mr. Modi trying to wiped out his sins merely on 3 days fast. Is it possible for the Muslims of Gujarat to forget the horrible communal riots? a. Do the Muslims of Gujarat forget the deaths of uncountable youths? b. Do the Muslims of Gujarat can forget the death of every member of the family? c. Do the Muslims of Gujarat forget the only bread earner of the family who lost his life in the communal riot? d. Do the Muslims of Gujarat forget the chastity of their sisters and daughters? e. Do the Muslims of Gujarat forget the worship places, which had been vandalised in the communal riots?

Bypassing Congress Muslims
The Indian National Congress stands for secularism and has been fighting forces of Hindu communalism and Hindutva led by RSS and its political wing BJP. It is therefore both distressing shocking that the Chief Minister of Delhi had appointed a BJP man who was a prominent leader of “support Bajpai Committee” in the Lok Sabha elections of 2009 as Vice Chairman of Delhi Urdu Academy ignoring claims of several Congress Muslims who were quite competent to hold this post. By choosing a BJP man the chief minister has strengthened BJP. Similarly the Editor of an Delhi Urdu Daily who had offered unconditional apology to RSS for writing against it has been appointed as advisor on minority education by the Union Minister of HRD. One wished that the Chief Minister of Delhi and the HRD Minister had not patronized a BJP man and a man who had apologized to RSS.

Honour killing or dishonour murderIn today’s Deccan Herald there is news of so called honour killing. It is not at all an honour killing rather a gruesome murder of a Muslim youth who had some affair with a caste Hindu girl. The lovers wanted to get married but the parents of the girl were not agreed for this marriage. They planed to kill the boy and killed. The love affair does not progress until and unless the girl gives lift to the boy. If the parents of the girl threatened and given some punishment the boy had forget the girl. But they kept till the affair matured and the duo took the decision to get married. At this stage the boy was killed mercilessly with out the fear of law. If you see the present state of affair hundred of Muslim girls are getting married with Hindu boys and visa versa. In the film industry we see high level actors and actresses are getting married also in big cities we can come across number of such examples. Amir Khan and Sharuhk Khan have married with caste Hindu girls. No ob-jection was made from any side. In the caste Hindus the marriages are late and difficult due to want of suitable bridegrooms the girls cannot wait many years and they select any good looking lad with good earning other caste’s boys and go for registered marriage.

Sky rocketing prices
On account of sky rocketing prices of essential commodities, the country today is facing a most formidable solution defying crisis which has made the life of the common man extremely miserable. On this account the congress and its leaders who are committed to the welfare of the common man are rightly very much perturbed. But they should not feel depressed as the past history tells us how a similar crisis which had also similar huge proportions had been successfully solved by one of its most popular and legendary leader Rafi Ahmad Kidwai. During the 50s the country had to face the food problem and in those days it had to face the worst food situation. The target of self-sufficiency had totally failed and there was a cut in rations by one/third on account of food grain shortage. Semifamine conditions prevailed through out the country. Black-marketing and hoarding were responsible for worsening the situation. Kidwai who had been given the food portfolio not only successfully tided over the crisis but made the country self sufficient and over and above all this he proved to be a miracle man by converting the country into the land of plenty.

Take a U-turn from nuclear energy
The tenth day of the anti-nuclear collective fast at Tamilnadu Koodamkulum has ended. Many of the fasters are in critical condition. The Tamilnadu CM Jaylalitha is rightly in panic. Unfortunately what she has done is passing the buck to the centre. The centre in its usual feet-dragging fashion sent an emissary to ?diate? with the people. The protesting people expect much more from Jaylalitha. They want her to use her power as the state CM to defy the centre and halt the work at the power plant till the fears of the populace are allayed. This is an opportunity for Jaylalitha to take up the mantle of an anti nuclear activist. In the days when the whole world is in the process of rethinking the nuclear option our government is going full steam ahead with Mithi Virdi nuclear power plant in Gujarat, Jaitapur in Maharashtra, Chutke in MP, Kevada in AP, Fatihabad in Haryana, Koodamkulum in Tamilnadu. While Indian government is in the process of dotting the entire Indian landscape with NPPs [nuclear power plants]; the list of the countries abandoning the nuclear energy is lengthening.

Taliban fury
After Ahmad Wali Karzai, Burhanuddin Rabbani’s assassination in the high profile green zone is yet another clever tactic of Taliban to negate peacekeeping or any interlocution with the current government. The question is for how long the indoctrinating and self counselling terms like, he is the martyr of peace, etc, will continue in hostile war zones like Afghanistan and does calling anybody a martyr after his murder, justify government’s responsibility of lacking basic security system round the state ? The current bleak Afghan scenario, on one hand, speaks of the failure of NATO forces and America’s war on terror and reflects of the revenge for the west’s moral travesties and its unwanted and forcible interference in the sensitive zone and on the other it speaks of the contemporary Afghanistan security institution, which is going from bad to worse. Why are Taliban killing everyone coming in their path, whether a peace advocate or a pro-Afghan government person and what they exactly want to convey to the state apparatus, still remains to be explored and analysed in a right perspective. It also speaks of the government’s basic misunderstanding and myopic vision about the Taliban psyche and myth of the highly claimed peace process. Seeing the circumstances, there is no use of establishing peace counsels at this odd moment but an unconditional dialogue with Taliban, and a political will to reach to a basic consensus with the extremist ideologies like that of Taliban, by finding a middle path to be followed for the future. This can work on the ground level otherwise open murders and continuous terror fury will continue impoverishing afghan society of its basic identity, social, cultural, economic and educational progress. Also seeing the pathetic prospect of Afghan Diaspora, craving for the peace in their home land, there is need of a serious political will to solve the basic issues and start a willful negotiation with Taliban, to curb such a horrible state of affairs.

PM’s tour of America no gain but loss
Our Indian diplomats should understand the purpose of Manmohan Singh’s tour of United States. It is nothing but US diplomacy to make a contract of some sophisticated defence weapons from US in the backdrop. Chinese boarder intervention and getting advance 300 Km area in the Indian Territory. India might have contacted US to get US support against China. US will warn China subject to the condition of purchase of certain antimissiles or other costly weapons worth of billions of dollars. In the fear of China’s further advancement in our territory our PM will agree to the Arms deal and will make the advance payment .The talk in the general assembly and against US policy is just to misguide the people

Veerappa Moily is calling for a national debate on the scope of the Right to information act. It is his contention that the information which Subramanian Swamy obtained was on the opinion of one minister on a matter on which two ministers may disagree. This, in his view, happens during the course of decision making and need not come into public domain. Moily must note that the matter on which Pranab Mukjerjee opined was not the merit or demerit of how the spectrum should be allotted. Pranab or his office has opined, quite categorically, on the action or inaction of P Chidambaram which altered the course of a particular decision so enormously. Subramanian Swamy understands the concept of “argumentative India” like anybody else. What he is trying to put the finger on is the culpability of the finance minister.

GDP growth?
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, while addressing the United Nations General Assembly, said that ‘a fast-growing India can expand the boundaries of global economy. Despite global financial crunch India is growing at close to 8 per cent’. What does it mean to aam admi in India, at a time when corruption has penetrated into veins of our country weakening its socio-political fabric? A majority of people do not know and even do not want to know what the GDP and economic growth is. Having seen the usual queue of beggars at Delhi’s historical Jama Masjid and child labour at India Gate, the grade card of 8 per cent GDP growth holds little or no relevance.

J&K: maintain pre-1953 status
Implement the recommendations of Interlocutors with immediate effect and maintained the status prior to 1953. New Delhi should grant Autonomy / independence to the Kashmir, so that the Kashmiris don’t have to depend on anybody. They can live with honour and resources. Any further delay in decision-making in favour of Kashmiris could be disastrous for both Kashmiris and India. The Kashmiris do have the efficient leadership, resources and the capacity to govern their own nation in a peaceful manner. Nothing will go wrong if Indian Government provided absolute autonomy or maintained the status before 1953 to Jammu & Kashmir, as suggested by the Interlocutors for the state of Jammu and Kashmir. As the same was in practiced in the state prior 1953. However, after a series of constitutional amendments diluted the state autonomy and gives Authority to the centre on the State of Jammu and Kashmir.

Mr. Modi trying to wiped out his sins merely on 3 days fast. Is it possible for the Muslims of Gujarat to forget the horrible communal riots? a. Do the Muslims of Gujarat forget the deaths of uncountable youths? b. Do the Muslims of Gujarat can forget the death of every member of the family? c. Do the Muslims of Gujarat forget the only bread earner of the family who lost his life in the communal riot? d. Do the Muslims of Gujarat forget the chastity of their sisters and daughters? e. Do the Muslims of Gujarat forget the worship places, which had been vandalised in the communal riots?

Bypassing Congress Muslims
The Indian National Congress stands for secularism and has been fighting forces of Hindu communalism and Hindutva led by RSS and its political wing BJP. It is therefore both distressing shocking that the Chief Minister of Delhi had appointed a BJP man who was a prominent leader of “support Bajpai Committee” in the Lok Sabha elections of 2009 as Vice Chairman of Delhi Urdu Academy ignoring claims of several Congress Muslims who were quite competent to hold this post. By choosing a BJP man the chief minister has strengthened BJP. Similarly the Editor of an Delhi Urdu Daily who had offered unconditional apology to RSS for writing against it has been appointed as advisor on minority education by the Union Minister of HRD. One wished that the Chief Minister of Delhi and the HRD Minister had not patronized a BJP man and a man who had apologized to RSS.

Honour killing or dishonour murderIn today’s Deccan Herald there is news of so called honour killing. It is not at all an honour killing rather a gruesome murder of a Muslim youth who had some affair with a caste Hindu girl. The lovers wanted to get married but the parents of the girl were not agreed for this marriage. They planed to kill the boy and killed. The love affair does not progress until and unless the girl gives lift to the boy. If the parents of the girl threatened and given some punishment the boy had forget the girl. But they kept till the affair matured and the duo took the decision to get married. At this stage the boy was killed mercilessly with out the fear of law. If you see the present state of affair hundred of Muslim girls are getting married with Hindu boys and visa versa. In the film industry we see high level actors and actresses are getting married also in big cities we can come across number of such examples. Amir Khan and Sharuhk Khan have married with caste Hindu girls. No ob-jection was made from any side. In the caste Hindus the marriages are late and difficult due to want of suitable bridegrooms the girls cannot wait many years and they select any good looking lad with good earning other caste’s boys and go for registered marriage.

Sky rocketing prices
On account of sky rocketing prices of essential commodities, the country today is facing a most formidable solution defying crisis which has made the life of the common man extremely miserable. On this account the congress and its leaders who are committed to the welfare of the common man are rightly very much perturbed. But they should not feel depressed as the past history tells us how a similar crisis which had also similar huge proportions had been successfully solved by one of its most popular and legendary leader Rafi Ahmad Kidwai. During the 50s the country had to face the food problem and in those days it had to face the worst food situation. The target of self-sufficiency had totally failed and there was a cut in rations by one/third on account of food grain shortage. Semifamine conditions prevailed through out the country. Black-marketing and hoarding were responsible for worsening the situation. Kidwai who had been given the food portfolio not only successfully tided over the crisis but made the country self sufficient and over and above all this he proved to be a miracle man by converting the country into the land of plenty.

Take a U-turn from nuclear energy
The tenth day of the anti-nuclear collective fast at Tamilnadu Koodamkulum has ended. Many of the fasters are in critical condition. The Tamilnadu CM Jaylalitha is rightly in panic. Unfortunately what she has done is passing the buck to the centre. The centre in its usual feet-dragging fashion sent an emissary to ?diate? with the people. The protesting people expect much more from Jaylalitha. They want her to use her power as the state CM to defy the centre and halt the work at the power plant till the fears of the populace are allayed. This is an opportunity for Jaylalitha to take up the mantle of an anti nuclear activist. In the days when the whole world is in the process of rethinking the nuclear option our government is going full steam ahead with Mithi Virdi nuclear power plant in Gujarat, Jaitapur in Maharashtra, Chutke in MP, Kevada in AP, Fatihabad in Haryana, Koodamkulum in Tamilnadu. While Indian government is in the process of dotting the entire Indian landscape with NPPs [nuclear power plants]; the list of the countries abandoning the nuclear energy is lengthening.

Taliban fury
After Ahmad Wali Karzai, Burhanuddin Rabbani’s assassination in the high profile green zone is yet another clever tactic of Taliban to negate peacekeeping or any interlocution with the current government. The question is for how long the indoctrinating and self counselling terms like, he is the martyr of peace, etc, will continue in hostile war zones like Afghanistan and does calling anybody a martyr after his murder, justify government’s responsibility of lacking basic security system round the state ? The current bleak Afghan scenario, on one hand, speaks of the failure of NATO forces and America’s war on terror and reflects of the revenge for the west’s moral travesties and its unwanted and forcible interference in the sensitive zone and on the other it speaks of the contemporary Afghanistan security institution, which is going from bad to worse. Why are Taliban killing everyone coming in their path, whether a peace advocate or a pro-Afghan government person and what they exactly want to convey to the state apparatus, still remains to be explored and analysed in a right perspective. It also speaks of the government’s basic misunderstanding and myopic vision about the Taliban psyche and myth of the highly claimed peace process. Seeing the circumstances, there is no use of establishing peace counsels at this odd moment but an unconditional dialogue with Taliban, and a political will to reach to a basic consensus with the extremist ideologies like that of Taliban, by finding a middle path to be followed for the future. This can work on the ground level otherwise open murders and continuous terror fury will continue impoverishing afghan society of its basic identity, social, cultural, economic and educational progress. Also seeing the pathetic prospect of Afghan Diaspora, craving for the peace in their home land, there is need of a serious political will to solve the basic issues and start a willful negotiation with Taliban, to curb such a horrible state of affairs.

PM’s tour of America no gain but loss
Our Indian diplomats should understand the purpose of Manmohan Singh’s tour of United States. It is nothing but US diplomacy to make a contract of some sophisticated defence weapons from US in the backdrop. Chinese boarder intervention and getting advance 300 Km area in the Indian Territory. India might have contacted US to get US support against China. US will warn China subject to the condition of purchase of certain antimissiles or other costly weapons worth of billions of dollars. In the fear of China’s further advancement in our territory our PM will agree to the Arms deal and will make the advance payment .The talk in the general assembly and against US policy is just to misguide the people

Veerappa Moily is calling for a national debate on the scope of the Right to information act. It is his contention that the information which Subramanian Swamy obtained was on the opinion of one minister on a matter on which two ministers may disagree. This, in his view, happens during the course of decision making and need not come into public domain. Moily must note that the matter on which Pranab Mukjerjee opined was not the merit or demerit of how the spectrum should be allotted. Pranab or his office has opined, quite categorically, on the action or inaction of P Chidambaram which altered the course of a particular decision so enormously. Subramanian Swamy understands the concept of “argumentative India” like anybody else. What he is trying to put the finger on is the culpability of the finance minister.

GDP growth?
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, while addressing the United Nations General Assembly, said that ‘a fast-growing India can expand the boundaries of global economy. Despite global financial crunch India is growing at close to 8 per cent’. What does it mean to aam admi in India, at a time when corruption has penetrated into veins of our country weakening its socio-political fabric? A majority of people do not know and even do not want to know what the GDP and economic growth is. Having seen the usual queue of beggars at Delhi’s historical Jama Masjid and child labour at India Gate, the grade card of 8 per cent GDP growth holds little or no relevance.

J&K: maintain pre-1953 status
Implement the recommendations of Interlocutors with immediate effect and maintained the status prior to 1953. New Delhi should grant Autonomy / independence to the Kashmir, so that the Kashmiris don’t have to depend on anybody. They can live with honour and resources. Any further delay in decision-making in favour of Kashmiris could be disastrous for both Kashmiris and India. The Kashmiris do have the efficient leadership, resources and the capacity to govern their own nation in a peaceful manner. Nothing will go wrong if Indian Government provided absolute autonomy or maintained the status before 1953 to Jammu & Kashmir, as suggested by the Interlocutors for the state of Jammu and Kashmir. As the same was in practiced in the state prior 1953. However, after a series of constitutional amendments diluted the state autonomy and gives Authority to the centre on the State of Jammu and Kashmir.
