The casual (!?) Australians were at it again ! At the award winning ceremony after wining the Champions trophy the Aussie captain Ricky Ponting asks the BCCI President Sharad Pawar by tapping him on the back to handover the trophy to him.
Oh my god , the heavens are going to fall !
How come such a man of low level of merely being an astounding cricket player can tap such a dignitary ? Then this another school boy, Martyn, nudges him out of the stage . Just to get photographed ? Really ? Mr. Sharad Pawar shows all the dignity of dignitary and refuses to make it a point.
Mr. Sharad Pawar is a respected senior parliamentarian of India. He is twice the age these school boys.
There is a time tested tradition in India of respecting the elders. And this also includes not raising your voice in presence of seniors. And these people come from another Continent having population less than that of Mumbai and pat and push him ! This simple act is big enough to bring down the whole Indian civilization !
But we might as well see the Australian side also. Or we shall hang them without proper hearing?
The Australia is a country where casualness is found freely floating on the air. This is a country where Prime Minister and a common can sit on the same bench of a local park. And nobody minds . Nobody is affected. Nobody makes a big deal about. They can rub the shoulders with no less than the Prime Minister. Therefore a casual handshake with a dignitary is not big thing. This time it stretched over a little farther.
Now nobody understand other's cultural and nor anybody is willing to do it!!
However the Aussies get away with it by merely tendering an apology only when asked for it the lawyer of Mr. Sharad Pawar.
Suppose this was to happen in case of Indian player the what would have had happened?
In no time the player concerned would have become a person non grata . He would have been dropped from the selection from the team. He would have been forced to cool his heels. Of course all this was to depend on his relative clout. Or rather parentage. He would been forced to rot. And all his coming generation would have met the same fate.
Very closely nit society ,Indian !! It punishes the man and all those close to him.
It can do it.
It can even make an Einstein to rot if he does not belong to a proper caste.

Dalit riots
Riots are bad.
Protests are alright. There have been protests in Maharashtra in last few days over a report over defacement of statute of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar in Kanpur. The dalits have been protesting all over Maharashtra.
But the protests got converted into riots. Dr. Ambedkar was the chief architect of Indian Constitution. He is revered by millions of dalits all over India . As a token of respect the dalits have installed his statutes in their colonies in every state ,in every city. He got them reservations in parliament, educational institutes and government jobs. These reservations have been the only source of dignified livelihood for lakhs of dalits. Otherwise they are condemned to live wretched life for generations altogether. The earth is a living hell for them. They do not have to die to see the hell. It is made available to them by this great civilization. For such a man they cannot have but reverence.
But the real cause for such prolonged and widespread protests does not lie in Kanpur which is not in Maharashtra but is a far off place from Mumbai. The real cause is the rage over killing of four dalits in Khairalnji by a higher caste crowd. The Panchayat had aided in the happenings. The government of the state handled it casually and in a disinterested manner as if the lives of dalits are of no value.
And dalits are not supposed get angry.
The state government is more interested in dubbing the protesters as Naxalites. They are forced to go under ground.
The parliament has time to discuss the game of cricket but no time for massacre of dalits. The dalits show their protest in the city of Mumbai. The crowd gathers , the youths get angry and rioting starts . A train is burnt , buses are damaged. The people are put to inconvenience. The whole life of Mumbai is disrupted.
All of this could have been avoided if the authorities have been sensitive to dalits demands and heard them.
If the steps were taken to bring the criminals to justice ? And a very big if....

91 runs only
This would make any sensible Indian see red. Emotionally attached to cricket . Investing time and money. These are the people not to be taken lightly. But this cricket team makes only 91 runs and brings disgrace to nation ! Once upon it made only 42 runs in an inning in a test match !! So they are only practicing what comes to them naturally. However there is public uproar, rightly so. Disgrace in a game of national importance is not allowed. There is strong criticism of team's Australian coach , Greg Chappell , and also that of efficient team . After all this team was without quota.
Everybody chosen on strict criteria of merit!!
Now everybody is looking for reasons for such a performance. And that of high hopes which were created when Australian took over. He was supposed to create miracles with this meritorious team. But this team has developed such a habit of loosing that it has become a second nature. Get there and play to be defeated ! Mr Greg does not appear to be in situation where he can salvage the situation. There is lot of public and parliamentarian hue and cry. Yes , the parliament has also joined it ! The honourable (YES , I still have a great respect for them not necessarily for their views) members of Indian of parliament are asking for explanation from President of BCCI Mr Sharad Pawar and asking for sacking the Aussie. The great Aussie replied casually in an Australian casual manner that he was not surprised since the MPs were paid to do so in parliament. This raises furore in parliament. In India getting paid may mean payment of bribe. There is a confusion on both the sides . The Indians do not understand the Australian culture and the favour is returned unconsciously by Australians. Both the sides assume that they have better cultural values than the other. So it goes on.
But a privilege motion against Mr Greg in parliament !!
Now this is height of nonsense. Since when Mr Greg has become important enough to be indicted by parliament? Is it not the time that the parliament leave such trivial matters to BCCI , players, journalists and public opinion. It should not demean itself through such a childish act.

Khairlanji
Merely four untouchables were killed in Khairlanji ,Viderbha ,Maharashtra. And such a lot of hue and cry ! All these dalits are organising morchas , rallies all over Maharashtra !? Why ? Are police not looking into matter ? Are they not impartial ? In all their impartiality are they not booking dalit protesters ! They will do a lot drama of going after innocent perpetrators of Khairlanji incident but before that they have to fix the untouchables for committing ghastly crime of making protests and destroying property worth few thousands of rupees. These selfish, anti-social and unjustified protesters should know that the lives of untouchables are not valuable. The irritation caused to administration and upper caste people is more important. So the things have to be done in a matter of priority !
And the Naxalite are moving on the scene ! These criminals believing in equality will terrorise the cultural people alleged to be involved in a minor incident of killing four dreaded dalits who were armless. Two were women , one physically challenged person and one man (two brothers , one sister and their mother). You know how difficult it is for a crowd to kill four untouchables ? Such bravery no one has ever seen. Actually these people should be awarded bravery medals for maintaining dharma !
The innocent perpetrators of crime should be saved from the Naxalites contaminated with the idea of equality and justice. These adharmic people(Naxalite) should be stopped from harming the harmless people. Four battalions of army should be posted around Khairlanji for this purpose.
And this man Dr. Shende ! What a man ! He has reported that no rape has taken place. He is an honest man doing his duty sincerely. What motives he can have for reporting such ? Only deep and religious sympathy with the people involved in Khairalnji killings. Is it wrong to have sympathy ? Objectivity be damned and with it justice ! And he is, most probably, doubtful whether the murders took place ? He should be called the pride of Bhandara and honoured accordingly. Now a days people have forgotten how to honour honest ,committed and sincere people. They should be reminded of their glorious tradition.
You see the AATMAA is ajar and amar ( the soul cannot be burnt, it cannot die) . Ok.
When somebody dies , nobody dies . When somebody is killed, nobody is killed. That is what is given in Geeta , I hear. So therefore it follows that when somebody is raped, nobody is raped . Dr. Shende might be right after all.
And the blood flowed on streets , mingled with water. Beaten till death with
bicycle chains, axes and bullock cart pokers. The bodies were tossed in the air till death .
The Panchayat took part in it . And I know it is dharma .
Another great cultural show by great spiritual civilization.

Lord Macaulay
Macaulay's putras are making a lot of money in USA. The traditional Hindus should be thankful to Lord Macaulay for making them literate in English.

Reservations
Reservation is hox .It should be stopped.
Our ancestors were great. They created the caste system in all their wisdom.
After all it takes brain to make living hell out of people's life.
