Gift by amit anand to prime minister of india

आदरणीय प्रधानमंत्री जी

मेरी तरफ से बहुत बहुत बधाई स्वीकार करे .

चूँकि आपने हम सब भारतीयों का सपना पूरा किया है . हम सब भारतीय अमीर बनने के सपने देखा करते थे ओर अपने एक ही झटके मे हम सबका अमीर बनने का सपना पूरा कर दिया .

इसके लिए आप और सोनिया गाँधी बहुत ही बधाई के पात्र है ..

आपने [ क्योंकि योजना आयोग का मुखिया प्रधानमंत्री होता है ] सुप्रीम कोर्ट मे जो हलफनामा दिया की ३२ रूपये रोज कमाने वाला व्यक्ति अमीर है इससे हम सब भारतीयओ का सर गर्व से ऊँचा हो गया है . आखिर हम सब भारतीय अमीरों की परिभाषा मे जो आ गए .

प्रधानमंत्री जी शायद आपको फ़्रांसिसी क्रांति की कुछ जानकारी जरुर होगी .. एक बार जब फ्रांस का राजा अपनी रानी के साथ अपनी आलीशान बघ्घी मे जा रहा था तो उसके पीछे फ्रांस की भूखी और गरीब जनता रोटी रोटी रोटी चिल्ला रही थी फिर रानी ने बघ्घी रोककर जनता से कहा कि यदि तुम्हारे पास खाने को रोटी नहीं है तो तुम लोग केक क्यों नहीं खाते ?

आज आपकी पार्टी ने इस देश मे भी ठीक यही हालत पैदा कर दिए है ... एक तरफ आपकी सरकार के स्वाथ्य मंत्री संसद मे बयान देते है कि हमने इस देश को मेडिकल टूरिज्म हब बना दिया है लेकिन आश्चर्य कि बात है कि आपकी पार्टी की अध्यक्ष सोनिया जी को भी आपकी सरकार पर विश्वास नहीं है इसलिए ही तो वे अपना खुद का इलाज भारत के बजाय अमेरिका मे करवाने गयी ..

आपको मैंने ३२ रूपये का एक चेक भेजा है और मै आपसे गुजारिश करता हूँ कि आप एक दिन जरा ईमानदारी से ३२ रूपये पर गुजारा करके तो देखिये

True Legend In India's Freedom History

As born in the family which was involved in the freedom struggle, the fire of patriotism was burning in the veins of Bhagat Singh since childhood. He had keen interest in history and studies. Bhagat had his schooling at D.A.V in Lahore and further went to National College founded by Lala Lajpat Rai. The revolutionary milieu of the college aroused his indignation against British.

He was around 12 yrs old when the massacre at Jallianwala bagh shattered him and strengthened his resolve against the British and their uncouth attitude. It is said, that he took fistful of soil from there as a keepsake. The adolescent Bhagat ran away from his home to Kanpur to avoid early marriage. There he learned his first lesson of revolution. Coming back to Lahore he started the rebel in his village. At Lahore, he formed a union of revolutionaries named as 'Naujavan Bharat Sabha'. He met Chandrasekhar Azad at the revolutionary meeting in Delhi. They together formed 'Hindustan Samjwadi Prajatantra Sangha' to establish a republic India.

One heinous act of British charged Bhagat Singh to confront them. The Simon Commission,a committee from England, visited India in 1928. They were there to discuss the freedom and responsibilities of Indians. But as the committee did not have any Indians, the revolutionaries went into chagrin. They marched against them and asked them to go back. During this march, Lala Lajpat Rai was brutally beaten with rods by British which resulted in his death. Bhagat Singh killed the Assistant Superintendent Saunder.

He mistook him as Deputy Inspector General Scott who had actually killed Lala Lajpat Rai. After this incident, to escape death punishment, Bhagat fled from Lahore. He then got furtive about his revolt strategies. On April 8' 1929, Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt threw bomb in the Central Assembly hall. The bomb did not hurt anyone. With their mutual consent Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt courted arrest. In jail, Bhagat Singh went on hunger strike for many days. Finally, on October 7' 1930, Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Raj Guru were punished death sentence. Despite the mob protest, the three of them were hanged till death on March 23' 1931. Bhagat Singh was given the title of 'shaheed' which means martyr.

He was born on September 27'1907 in the Sikh family at village Banga in Layalpur district of Punjab. He was the fighter who did not live long but lived large.

The Kakori train robbery

The Kakori train robbery was a watershed event in the annals of Indian revolutionary movement. The sheer audacity and courage of this assault and its successful execution gave an impetus to the fledgling rebellious activities being waged across the country. Frontline leaders of the Hindustan Republican Association, an underground rebel outfit, such as Ashfaqullah Khan, Ramprasad Bismil and Chandrasekhar Azad were the lynchpin of the Kakori train robbery.

The mastermind behind this daredevil dacoity was Ramprasad Bismil who first conceived the plot while traveling from Shahjahanpur to Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh by the Number 8 Down Train. He noticed that at every station moneybags were being taken into the guard's van and being dropped into an iron safe and despite the valuable bounty security arrangements were lax and virtually non-existent inside the train. At a meeting with his fellow revolutionaries, Ramprasad laid bare his plan.

The members of the HRA approved this audacious plan and decided that the looted money would be used to garner arms and ammunition for the movement. August 9, 1925 was chosen as the D-day and a select group of ten including Ashfaqullah Khan, Ramprasad Bismil and Chandrasekhar Azad was entrusted the responsibility for execution. As the train was approaching the Kakori town, one of the revolutionaries stopped the train by pulling the chain and the rest overpowered the guard. After breaking into the guard's van the rebels escaped with the loot.

Repercussions of this robbery were swift and lethal. The government used all its resources in launching a massive manhunt and one by one all the revolutionaries fell into the police dragnet. After a farcical trial, Ashfaqullah Khan, Ramprasad Bismil, Roshan Singh, and Rajendra Lahiri were hanged. But the eternal survivor that he was, Chandrashekhar Azad managed to elude the police and continued his fight for many years to come.

2G scam

2G scam:

How A Raja robbed the nation NEW DELHI: The much anticipated CAG report on allocation of 2G spectrum by A Raja was tabled in Parliament on Tuesday, raising troubling questions about how an influential politician's greed can exploit the system, how readily many corporates join in the subversion for windfall gains, and how the compulsions of coalition dynamics can paralyze the government. "The entire process of allocation of UAS (Unified Access Service) licences lacked transparency and was undertaken in an arbitrary, unfair andinequitable manner. The Hon'ble Prime Minister had stressed on the need for a fair and transparent allocation of spectrum, and the ministry of finance had sought for the decision regarding spectrum pricing to be considered by an EGoM. Brushing aside their concerns and advices,DoT, in 2008, proceeded to issue 122 new licences for 2G spectrum at 2001 prices, by flouting everycan on of financial propriety, rules and procedures," the 77-page report says. It also mentions how Raja ridiculed officials who suggested more transparent methods to assess the value of spectrum, and went ahead with his decision to arbitrarily allot it to select companies. Raja's decision, it says, has cost the national exchequer anywhere between Rs 1,76,645 crore and Rs 57,666crore. In November 2007, PM Manmohan Singh wrote to Raja expressing concern that given inadequate spectrum and the unprecedented number of applications received from fresh licenses, an auction process be followed.Raja replied saying that the auction of spectrum was considered by both TRAI and Telecom Commission and that his ministry has come to a conclusion that an auction "will be unfair, discriminator and capricious" as it would distort the level-playing field for new entrants. The finance ministry questioned the "sanctity of continuing with a price determined way back in 2001 without any indexation or current valuation andsought review of the matter." DoT member (finance) agreed with the finance ministry, and sought an "in-depth analysis of the issue prior to taking any further action." To this Raja audaciously wrote: "These types of continuous

confusions observed on the file whoever be the officer concerned does notshow any legitimacy and integrity but only their vested interest." As a matter of fact, DoT did not follow "its own guidelines on eligibility conditions, arbitrarily changed the cut-off date for receipt of applications post facto and altered the conditions of the FCFS procedure at crucial junctures without valid and cogent reasons, which gave unfair advantage to certain companies," the report says.

2G SCAM: SC ASKS GOVT TO FILE AFFIDAVIT ON PM'S SILENCE

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court asked the Centre to file anaffidavit on Prime Minister's silence on Janata Party president SubramaniamSwamy's petition seeking sanction to prosecute former telecom minister ARaja in the 2G spectrum scam case. The Supreme Court asked the Centre to file the affidavit by Saturday and fixed the hearing on Tuesday. The apex court also said that showing the files were not enough. It has to sayowe the reasons for the delay so that any concealment of fact, the court can fix the accountability. The SC wants the affidavit to be filed on behalf of the Prime Minister by a responsible officer explaining the 11 long months of inaction and silence. The court had on Tuesday asked the government to explain within two dayswhy the "sanctioning authority" - in this case, the Prime Minister - remained silent for 11 months over a request seeking sanction for the prosecution of ARaja in the 2G case. In a reference to PM Manmohan Singh's oversight role, the SC referred to apetition submitted by Subramaniam Swamy to the PM, to say: "We are on the alleged inaction and silence of the sanctioning authority for 11 months on

Swamy's petition seeking sanction to prosecute....This what is worrying us." An SC bench comprising Justices G S Singhvi and A K Ganguly hearing the2G spectrum case asked solicitor general Gopal Subramaniam to examine relevant files before giving his response on Thursday on why it took the government a month short of a year to tell Swamy that prosecution would be"premature" at this stage. The SC's remarks came on the same day as the Comptroller and Auditor General's scathing report on the allocation of 2G licences in which CAG hasnot only indicted Raja but also indirectly referred to an oversight failure of the ex-minister's role by saying "there is an imperative need to fix responsibility and enforce accountability for lapses". SC's query on why the PM did not decide either way - whether there was merit in Swamy's petition or not - is likely to harden the Opposition demand for a joint parliamentary committee to probe the alleged scam. This, in turn, may complicate the logjam in Parliament as the government is expected to resist aJPC.

Swamy's petition against Raja was not vague: SC

The solicitor general defended the PMO by saying that as the CBI was probing the alleged scam, the "sanctioning authority" (PM) was perfectly within its rights to inform Swamy that it would await the outcome of the investigation before deliberating on whether the Raja should be prosecuted or not. But the bench left little room for confusion. It put its question based on datesand facts Swamy had filed a petition before the PM on November 29, 2008seeking sanction to prosecute Raja; CBI had lodged an FIR on October 21,2009 against "unknown persons"; and the response to Swamy's petition cameon March 19, 2010, from the secretary in the department of personnel and training (DoPT) on behalf of the PMO saying the petition was "premature". "What happened between November 29, 2008 and October 21, 2010?" the bench wanted to know, adding, "We take it that the sanctioning authority was right in awaiting the outcome of a pending inquiry to defer a decision on a private petition seeking sanction to prosecute a minister. But why was the authority silent for 11 months preceding the lodging of the FIR." In view of these questions, the bench had felt it would be proper to issue notice to the government and ask for a response to Swamy's charge of "total in action and silence" against the sanctioning authority. With the solicitor general appearing for DoT, the bench asked him whether hewas ready with a response. Subramanaim said he was. Referring to DoPT secretary Shantanu Consul'sletter to Swamy, the Bench expressed its nagging doubt: "whether the papers(Swamy's petition) were ever placed before the sanctioning authority?" The SG emphatically put this doubt to rest by saying the DoPT letter was anofficial communication and that the "sanctioning authority was in cognizance of the petition". He said: "The sanctioning authority is not overlooking the petition. But, since it required application of mind to the outcome of the probe, the same was conveyed to Swamy by DoPT. It was aimed to convey that the petition is just deferred to await outcome of the detailed probe." But the bench wasn't satisfied. It said: "It's not that Swamy's petition was vague. And his right to seek sanction to prosecute, which is a legal right, doesnot depend on the ipse dixit (a Latin phrase meaning 'he himself said it') of anybody. And the DopT letter terms the petition as 'premature'. Does this mean his right to to seek sanction has not ripened yet? And did the sanctioning authority know at the time of filing of the petition that there will bea CBI probe? We are on alleged inaction and silence. The outcome of the CBI inquiry is totally outside his control. This what is worrying us. Can some one'slegal right be asked to wait?" Attempts by Subramaniam to divert focus from the word "premature" by saying that it just meant to convey that a decision on the petition was being deferred failed to convince the bench. It said: "When the letter comes from the highest authority, the language is carefully used."

Patala Bhuvaneshwar

Patal Bhuvaneshwar looks over steep green valleys to the Himalayan foothills, beyond which lies the glorious view of the snow-capped mountains from Kailash to Yamunotri. Between Gangolihat and Berinag in Pithoragarh District, the atmosphere remains pure and uncompromised from when rishis performed their tapasya over several hundreds of years ago.
The cave is such a powerful experience. The first flight of steps descends fifty-five feet vertically upon small steps cut into the solid rock formations. In many instances visitors must lie flat against the rocks to squeeze through the tight formations.

Once inside there is a wonder of amazement. The tunnels and grottos comprise an entire underground community, which obviously dates several millenium before our present era, sort of a Kishkinda for meditating sadhus. The largest of the halls can seat perhaps fifty or more meditators. Where they sat, their backsides rubbed the stones perfectly smooth, so that it is possible to find the perfect indenture to fit any size. They are extremely comfortable to sit in, and the vibrations are extremely conducive for meditation.

Legend of Patal Bhuvaneshwar

Amidst of the beautiful mountains of Uttarakhand is this village in total silence, distinctively confronting the Himalayas. In this village is a divine temple which would depict the work of Nature and give some inside truth of Hindu mythology.

The earliest references of Patal Bhuvaneshwar temple can be seen in the Manaskhand 103rd Chapter of Skandpurana. Veda Vyasa, gave an elaborate description of this auspicious cave in the realms of earth where gods and goddesses rest. It is believed that at this place Gods visit Patal to worship Lord Shiva. It is said also said that this is the only place on earth where such a large gathering of Gods. This would include a huge number of Gandharvas, Apsaras, Vidhyadharas, Yogis, Rakshasas and Nagas…. the list goes on.

The first human to discover this cave was Raja Ritupurna who was a king in Surya Dynasty who was ruling Ayodhya during the Treta Yuga. The story starts with Ritupurna and King Nala. It is said that once, King Nala was defeated by his wife, Queen Damayanti. In order to escape his wife’s prison Nala requested Ritupurna to hide him. Ritupurna took him to the forests of the Himalayas and asked him to stay there. While going back home he was fascinated by a deer which ran into woods and went after it. He could not find it and took rest under a tree. He had a dream where the deer was asking Ritupurna not to chase him. His sleep broke and as he woke up and went to a cave where a guard was standing. After enquiring about the cave he was allowed to go inside. Right at the entrance, Ritupurna met Sheshnag who agreed to take him through the cave. It carried him on his hood. He saw the marvels of Gods taking place inside. He all the 33-crore gods and goddesses including Lord Shiva himself. It is said that after his visit, the cave was closed for ages with a slight prediction in the Skandpurana that it will be reopened again in Kaliyuga. Shankarcharya in Kalyug, during his temporary visit to Himalayas re-discovered this cave. Since then regular worship and offering are being done at this place.

Chamber of the Main Deity

The rock configurations depict perfectly all of the deities of the Hindu Pantheon, and water drips from various sources, making streams and channels throughout. All the Gods and Goddesses are present, and even today visitors can feel the presence of the meditating rishis. Rishi Markandeya wrote the Chandi Path while sitting in this cave, and the main deity of Shiva was established and given life by Shankaracharya.

Shiva at Patal Bhuvaneshwar

Near the mouth of the cave is a howan kund, where I have performed the Chandi Yagya on several occasions. The view while sitting there looks out over the Himalayas. What a thrill to see the sunrise on the snow-capped mountains, to watch as the mountains glisten in the morning sun, how they change color. Straight ahead is Kailash, a little to the left Nanda Devi, Trishul, Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri. One peak is more glorious than the next, but all together the vision and ambiance inspires pure devotion.

I first visited Patal Bhuvaneshwar in 1971. At that time it was a seven mile walk from the nearest jeepable road. Now it is only a two mile walk. In 1971 I slept on the porch of the Pandit's house. Now there is a Dharmashalla and other facilities for staying. What a place to do tapasya, where since thousands of years other sadhus have been visiting to add to the spiritual vibration.

It is said that the darshan at Patal Bhuvaneshwar yields a thousand times the fruit of tapasya at Kashi, Baidyanath or Kedarnath. In the Skanda Purana, Manas Kanda, Chapter 103, there is a description of the blessings to be attained in visiting Patal Bhuvaneshwar.

where it is..?
one of the most fascinating places of the Kumaon region, is a limestone cave temple 14 km from Gangolihat in the Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand state in India. It is located in the village Bhubneshwar. Legend and folklore have it that this underground cave enshrines Lord Shiva and thirty three crore Gods. The cave is 160 m long and 90 feet deep from the point of entrance. Limestone rock formations have created various spectacular stalactite and stalagmite figures of various hues and forms. This cave has a narrow tunnel-like opening which leads to a number of caves. The cave is fully electrically illuminated. There is a folklore that the Pandava brothers passed their time here during banishment. It is built due to the flow of water. It cut the rocks in such a fascinating way that it looks like that any artist had made those entire statues within the cave & on its wall. It has some cave opening and it is believed that these opening will be close as the centuries pass on. The scientific fact is that it's still being developed due to crystallization of the minerals which are dissolved in the water. As per belief, some doors which are now closed were opened thousand of years back. It's yet to be fully explored. It is also believed that this cave is internally connected to the four abodes /seats (Char Dham).

Mythology

According to belief King Rituparna of the Sun dynasty (Surya Vansha) discovered the cave in ‘Treta yug’. It has been described in the ‘MANAS KHAND’ of ‘SKAND PURAN’. Adi Shankaracharya visited this cave in 1191 AD. That was the beginning of the modern pilgrimage history, at Patal Bhuvaneshwar. The journey inside the cave has to be carried in feeble lights, holding protective iron chains. The Stone formations of Sheshnag can be seen, holding earth, heaven the world beneath. ‘Havan’ (fire sacrifice) is performed in a dimly lit, solemn atmosphere, under the spell of holy chants. You’ll also be impressed by theto visit these parts form the celestial heights of His abode in Kailash.The cave, it is believed, is connected by an underground route to Mount Kailash. it’s believed that Pandavas, the ‘Mahabharat’ heroes proceeded towards their last journey in the Himalayas after meditating here, in front of Lord Shiva. The priest family, the Bhandaris are performing religious rites at Patal Bhuvaneshwar since the time of the Adi Shankaracharya. More than 20 generations in the line. They are a treasure house of legends, lores, anecdotes and information about this holy place.

ISRO spectrum scam Bigger Than 2G Spectrum Scam

Even before the 2G spectrum allocation scam gets unraveled in its entirety, the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) is said to be suspecting another, bigger than 2G, scam in the allocation of S-band spectrum.

According to a report the CAG is enquiring into a 2005 agreement between the Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) commercial arm Antrix Corporation Ltd and Devas Multimedia Private Ltd relating to the allocation of S-band broadband spectrum to the latter without the invitation of competitive bids.

Although, it is too early to decipher the exact figure, but the dubious allocation of spectrum is said to have caused a loss of Rs 2 lakh crore to the national exchequer, as compared to the Rs 1.76 lakh crore presumed loss due to the faulty allocation of 2G spectrum.

ISRO is under the Department of Science, which is directly in the Prime Minister's charge.

The company that allegedly benefited from the deal, Devas Multimedia, is headed by Dr M G Chandrashekhar, who was earlier scientific secretary at ISRO.

“Under the deal, Devas Multimedia is to get access to 70 Mhz of broadband spectrum in the 2500 Mhz band. This was once used by Doordarshan to deliver programmes by satellite to all parts of the country but is now considered to be of enormous commercial value for high-speed, terrestrial mobile communications. In 2010, the Union government got nearly Rs. 67,719 crore from the auction of just 15 Mhz of similar airwaves for 3G mobile services,” the report says.

The CAG suspects foul-play because unlike in earlier contracts, ISRO places no restrictions on Devas Multimedia for onward leasing of spectrum. That means the company could make huge amounts of money by sub-leasing its privileges.

This is said to be the first time that S-band, which ranges from 2500 to 2690 Mhz, has been opened up to the private sector.

The CAG is concerned that ISRO’s internal procedures were flouted, while the Prime Minister’s Office, the Cabinet, and the Space Commission were not fully informed about the contract, including the underestimation of ISRO’s costs, report claims.
