- But in today's The Hindu there is an advertisement that says that Justice Ashok Kumar is slated for a Christian burial in some cemetery. So, that Christians are cornering the benefits of reservations and other preferential arrangements meant for the deprived in Hindu society either by lying about their religion or hiding behind caste while abusing caste in the same breath, is now proved.
- Pl see the reference to Justice Ashok Kumar. The man pretended to reconvert to hinduism probably only to avail of the benefits reserved for Hindu harijans. But that he is getting a christian funeral exposes the rascally lie.

IntelliBriefs: At old British base, US and India train for new wars
-
- Indian and American troops at Yudh Abhyas ’09, a joint exercise between forces of the two countries, in Babina on Monday
- While joint foreign deployments may be some time off, the most complex war game between the two countries has made one thing clear — India and US can now operate together in a hostile environment like Iraq or Afghanistan and deliver the goods.
- “I will be comfortable going with the Indian Army anywhere, anytime,” said Lt Gen Benjamin Mixon, Commander, US Army, Pacific at the conclusion of a 15-day exercise that involved over 300 US troops and 17 Stryker ICVs brought in from Hawaii.
- If Malabar 2007 was the turning point for Navy-Navy ties between the two countries and Red Flag 2008 redefined the relation between the two air forces, the anti-terror Yudh Abhyas that featured tanks, UAVs, ICVs, anti-tank missiles and heliborne operations has taken Army-Army ties to a new level.

* VivekaJyoti *: Seventy-eight percent of the temples under the control of the HR & CE Department in Tamil Nadu are in shambles. `They are being run like govt depts'

- from HARAN BR
- Seventy-Eight percent of the temples under the control of the HR & CE Department are in shambles. According to activists, its time the government hands over the control of the temples to an independent, politically neutral body. – T.Muruganandam reports.
- Kings built most of the temples, but they never intervened in the traditional worship there. Even the Britishers never interfered in the administration of temples, he points out, strongly arguing for handing over temple administration to a non-political independent body.
-
In figures 38,465 temples in the State are controlled by the HR&CE dept that comes under the State government.
Under the pre text of land reforms, the State government drastically reduced the income of the temples over a period of time -- NARAYANASWAMI
30,000 temples are getting less than Rs 5,000 as annual income. Of these many are in dilapidated state and need funds for renovation, according to the HR & CE dept's policy note.
- “Most of the funds for temple kumbhabhishekham are raised by devotees and not the govt. So, why shouldn't they be allowed to run the temples themselves?”
- Besides, cases of temple break-ins resulting in idol theft or breaking of hundis (fund collection boxes) and killing of temple watchmen have gone up manifold over the years, exposing the government's total ineptitude, they say.

QUIZ: Who is This Politician? HINT: Not who you think! | Faith Freedom International
-
-
He was born to a part of the population that was often despised and mocked by the majority.
He was “abandoned” by his parents early on in his life.
He spent his formative years abroad, outside his country.
He never accomplished anything of note before he became the leader of his party (in his late thirties) and the ruler of his country (in his mid-forties).
-
He was a master of using “new media” and advanced technology in his electoral campaigns. He revolutionized the face of politics. Among his main keywords were: “change” and “hope”. He attracted massive crowds to his rallies.
His party won democratic and fair elections and he assumed the supreme executive office of his country in January the following year.
His rule was favorably compared with the much hated administration that preceded him which was identified with an unprecedented economic recession and meltdown and with a humiliating resolution to an an unsuccessful and unnecessary protracted war abroad.
When he rose to power, he was loved and admired in his country and throughout the world. The federation of states he governed gradually re-captured the role of a superpower.
At first, he was championed as a peacemaker by foreign politicians and the global media.
-
He befriended the Muslim world and ascendant polities in Asia. Still, his experience in foreign affairs and his knowledge of foreign languages were very limited.
In the first two years of his administration, he pushed through a massive economic stimulus package; reformed the country’s social services (especially healthcare and education); introduced enhanced and all-pervasive regulation and state oversight of industry and finance; and invested heavily in infrastructure. He took credit for the economic recovery that ensued (and which was, actually, part of a global trend).
-
Many accused him of being born abroad, of not being native-born (i.e., of being a foreigner).
- So, who is this politician?

महाजाल पर सुरेश चिपलूनकर (Suresh Chiplunkar): फ़ाइव स्टार होटल की नौकरी छोड़कर, मदुरै की सड़कों पर मनोरोगियों, पागलों और विक्षिप्तों को भोजन कराता एक महात्मा… A Social Worker Madurai

महाजाल पर सुरेश चिपलूनकर (Suresh Chiplunkar)
- यही सारे प्रश्न मदुराई के एक युवक एन कृष्णन के दिमाग में उठते थे, लेकिन उसने वह कर दिखाया जो कई लोग या तो सोच ही नहीं पाते, अथवा सिर्फ़ सोचकर रह जाते हैं। मदुराई का यह कर्मठ महात्मा, पिछले सात साल से रोज़ाना दिन में तीन बार शहर में घूम-घूमकर ऐसे रोगियों, विक्षिप्तों और बेसहारा लोगों को खाना खिलाता है। मात्र 30 वर्ष की उम्र में "अक्षयपात्र" नामक ट्रस्ट के जरिये वे यह सेवाकार्य चलाते हैं।
- अक्षयपात्र ट्रस्ट की रसोई में झांककर जब हम देखते हैं, तो पाते हैं कि चमचमाते हुए करीने से रखे बर्तन, शुद्ध दाल, चावल, सब्जियाँ और मसाले… ऐसा लगता है कि हम किसी 5 सितारा होटल के किचन में हैं, और हो भी क्यों ना, आखिर एन कृष्णन बंगलोर के एक 5 सितारा होटल के "शेफ़" रह चुके हैं (इतने बड़े होटल के शेफ़ की तनख्वाह जानकर क्या करेंगे)। कृष्णन बताते हैं कि आज सुबह उन्होंने दही चावल तथा घर के बने अचार का मेनू तय किया है, जबकि शाम को वे इडली-सांभर बनाने वाले हैं… हम लोग भी तो एक जैसा भोजन नहीं खा सकते, उकता जाते हैं, ऐसे में क्या उन लोगों को भी अलग-अलग और ताज़ा खाना मिलने का हक नहीं है?"। कृष्णन की मदद के लिये दो रसोईये हैं, तीनों मिलकर नाश्ता तथा दोपहर और रात का खाना बनाते हैं, और अपनी गाड़ी लेकर भोजन बाँटते हैं, न सिर्फ़ बाँटते हैं बल्कि कई मनोरोगियों और विकलांगों को अपने हाथ से खिलाते भी हैं।
कृष्णन अभी तक अविवाहित हैं, और उनकी यह शर्त है कि जिसे भी मुझसे शादी करना हो, उसे मेरा यह जीवन स्वीकार करना होगा, चाहे किसी भी तरह की समस्याएं आयें। -
