JAAGO INDIA. . . .!



Clip showing: Daler Mehndi singing Jaago India !



LAWYER FILES CASE AGAINST DALER MEHNDI FOR THE SONG JAAGO INDIA:
“I have filed a criminal case against Daler as the lyrics of his song ‘Jaago India’ sounds demotivating and is in bad taste. The lyrics of his song abuse people of the country, which is completely objectionable and is not in the interest of the nation,” Kunjaraman told IANS here Wednesday.

“I decided to file a case against the singer and take it further for the interest of the people,” Kunjaraman added.(READ FULL STORY HERE)


'Prabhu' Kunjaraman people in many districts of my state Madhya Pradesh are dying of hunger, my own city is facing water shortages but bore wells are being dug every minute, your activism is desperately needed here, let them sing a song and do the ding-dong, LETS SOLVE THE REAL ISSUES!


ANY TAKERS OF MR. KUNJARAMAN !

ARE THE LYRICS IN BAD TASTE & OBJECTIONABLE?

Lyrics (of Jaago India sung by Daler Mehndi for the album Mission Shanti):

Tum saare sote raho, Maarne wale maar rahe hain,

Tum 'saale'/saare sote raho, Maarne wale maar rahe hain,

Tum 'saalon'/saaron rote raho, Maarne wale maar rahe hain,

Tum 'saalon'/sab rote raho, Maarne wale maar rahe hain,

ae.. Jaago ae.. Jaago ae.. Jaago India.

ae.. Jaago ae.. Jaago ae.. Jaago India.

Mazhab nahi...

Tum sab lut-tay raho, lootne wale loot rahe hain,

Tum sab lut-tay raho, lootne wale loot rahe hain,

Tum sab pit-tay raho, peetne wale peet rahe hain,

Tum sab pit-tay raho, peetne wale peet rahe hain,

Allah te...

ae.. Jaago ae.. Jaago ae.. Jaago India.

ae.. Jaago ae.. Jaago ae.. Jaago India.

Sare jahan se achcha...



‘Ek Aur Manjunath !’ (PWD Engineer murdered by an MLA in UP)


[26/12/2008: I just found out on NDTV that Mr. Gupta was an honest officer and he was being pressured to join the illegal activities of the contractors, other engineers and the MLA. So, the article and its title already are useless, but I am not deleting it because it was my first impression of the incident. If some more information comes out in the future I can add it here. Sorry All of You, Sorry Mr. Gupta.]

___________________________________________________________________________________



I was surfing the channels on TV when I noticed the title ‘Ek Aur Manjunath’ on Aaj Tak (desh ka sarvashrestha news channel), I went red with anger, this kind of cheap sensationalization of news has increased manifolds since the Mumbai Attack.


They report no background information of the case and for what he was murdered and they want to equate him with Manjunath. Watching ‘news’ has become a painful experience these days.


Well the case (as I found out here) is, Mr. Gupta was beaten to death by the BSP MLA Shekhar Tiwari and his associates for not giving donations for Behen Mayawati’s Birthday Bash. Mr. Gupta’s contribution came around Rupees Ten Lakh and the total amount to be collected for the birthday celebrations is about Rupees One Thousand Crore.(Arch rival politicians tend to speak truth against one another.)


First things first, was Mr. Gupta a corrupt person, because nobody will ask that much money from an honest (and therefore poor) person. We can’t compare this case with Manjunath’s who stood firmly against corruption.


The second thing is this might be start of yet another trend in Indian Politics if the MLA is not punished with a heavy hand. For till now we have seen politicians seeking donations only during elections, but donations for birthdays, anniversaries, etc. and collection with such rigour ( it is plain extortion and murder to me) will certainly attract eyes of our politicians.


It has not started in Madhya Pradesh but glimpses of such criminal behaviour were seen in Professor Sabharwal’s Death/Murder case. Hooliganism, Chain-Snatching, Loots (one happened two days back, in broad daylight) are all on the rise in Bhopal, you can imagine the condition of ‘law & order’ in the inner areas.


The question is will the justice be done, but justice to whom. What if he was a corrupt man, what about the faulty roads, bridges, etc. that he constructed and passed as OK in his lifetime? Yesterday, 10 people died in Ashoknagar just because of negligence of MP State Electricity Board (who didn’t attend to the complaint in time, remember movie APARICHIT ) and the Bus Conductor (who allowed gas cylinders on the bus, allowed overloading), but who allowed the level of road to be increased without necessary precautions, is it also not an important question.


Isn’t the whole system at rot, rather than being at the top or bottom. Nobody makes a fuss about these lives, they are born like animals, and they die like one.


We all know most of the politicians are themselves or have their relatives as contractors, it is the taxpayers’ money that feeds these monsters, yet nobody wants to own the responsibility to clean the system. When asked to reform the system, join politics to clean it of such dirty elements, most people shut themselves.


We deserve it, this is the outcome of our karmas (or lack of it) and we have to bear with it. As for the media, if everything is rotting in this country, why make a fuss about the foul smell coming from media. Everything is going as per plan Kalki Avataar will come save us all very soon, lets contribute to the rot so that it happens soon. Our slogan from now on is:


SPARE THE ROD, SPREAD THE ROT !


JAI HIND !
