Sri Ganesh Of Aam Aadmi Blog: A Year Later

This blog was started a year ago. We would like to thank all of you who have read and supported us. It means a lot to us and makes all the work worthwhile. You and we alike are bound in a common cause alike. A cause where we all would like to see India reach her ambition and fulfill her destiny unfettered by criminal politicians and perverted leftists. Bholenath willing, we shall achieve that one-day. As my friend Swami and I joke, I hope we get to see that or at least the dawn of that day in our life times.

There is no reason why that cannot happen. Yesterday, I was in a chat with a young man who is a member of the Abvp. He sounded passionate and driven. I suggested that he and his people should mobilize all the potential voters and go out to vote in large numbers. The voters should also marginalize the regional parties in central elections and vote for the conservative option.

The way his blog started is a small but interesting story. A year ago I wrote a letter to my friends. Swami Thambi was one of the recipients. He was so moved by my pain and passion, that he decided to do something about it. He brought to fruition an idea we had been bandying about for a while. He posted the letter on a blog, which we called the Aam Aadmi blog. We have been told that the Congress uses the Aam Aadmi moniker but that is their arrogance. When they come to power with 25% votes they have no business claiming the support of the aam aadmi.

Anyway, I beseech you to read my letter, which started it all. It will tell you the reason behind our madness. On behalf of our contributers, Sanjay, Swami, Suchitra and Vidur, I would like to thank you in advance. I would also like to thank our friend NM for all his support over he year.

A HUMBLE APPEAL

It took me awhile to compose this letter. PLEASE read it. If you think that I make sense then feel free to forward the BlogSpot to others as well.
I am not much for poetry. Prose is more my style. But the following poem by Vijay Tendulkar has touched me deeply. It captures an emotion that I have felt more times in my life than I care to remember. The feeling of absolute helplessness and impotent anger!! Please read and find out for yourself.

Chakravyuh mein ghusne se pehle,
kaun tha mein aur kaisa tha,
yeh mujhe yaad hi na rahega.
Chakravyuh mein ghusne ke baad,
mere aur chakravyuh ke beech,
sirf ek jaanleva nikat’ta thi,
iska mujhe pata hi na chalega.
Chakravyuh se nikalne ke baad,
main mukt ho jaoon bhale hi,
phir bhi chakravyuh ki rachna mein
farq hi na padega.
Marun ya maarun,
maara jaoon ya jaan se maardun.
iska faisla kabhi na ho paayega.
Soya hua aadmi jab
neend se uthkar chalna shuru karta hai,
tab sapnon ka sansar use,
dobara dikh hi na paayega.
Us roshni mein jo nirnay ki roshni hai
sab kuchh s’maan hoga kya?
Ek palde mein napunsakta,
ek palde mein paurush,
aur theek taraazu ke kaante par
ardh satya.

A very dear friend called me recently expressing his extreme anger at a news report, which was of course extremely biased. After discussing with him, I told him about the Tendulkar poem and told him that there are ways to express your anger and punish those who have wronged you in ways that do not include a weapon. The question to ponder is:

“What does a common man do in face of extreme injustice???”

One of the many things that time spent in the US has taught me is that a common man counts especially when the common man finds his voice and other who are on the same page as them. That is what democracy is all about. If Mayawati is ruining the state of UP, it is up to the people of UP to unite and vote her out. At least talk to people around you and get them to see the light. If Salman Khan crushes seven people and gets away with it, stop watching his movies. Boycott the guy totally. He WILL get the message. If you think that IPL and the people involved are crooked then do not watch it. YOU HAVE OPTIONS!!

Trouble with information dissemination in India is that the media is very biased. We all have been brought up on a steady dose of Macaulayite education, which imbibes in you the wrong notion that until you think like a Gora Sahib, you cannot be correct. The day we start speaking English, we feel obliged to deem everything Indian and Hindu incorrect and beneath us. That, folks, was the genius of Lord Macaulay who knew the only way to rule a civilized country like India was to make the natives doubt their own civilization.

The British ruled us and left us with the legacy of Macaulay and his legacy, which was very effectively continued, by Nehru and the Congress. Secularism became a weapon in the hands of these demagogues. The education system and the curriculum were tailored to suit for the Congress party rule. Their stooges ran the schools, colleges and the media. Imagine that I only found out about the Moplah andolan only recently- an event, which cost thousands of Hindu lives. Why do you think that is? The answer is simple-Vote bank politics? That is why the congress rules the country with only 23 to 27% votes.

What does one do about this grave injustice? Well, we find out who are the people who are responsible for the selective dissemination of information. The answer is – The Leftist Media. People like Pronnoy Roy use NDTV and its cheap sensationalistic style to shove falsehood down your throat. They selectively show the news that hurts and demonizes every conservative Hindu causes and people standing for it. Magazines like India today and Tehelka are nothing but journalistic porn, catering to the lowest common denominator of the society. Therefore the onus is upon us to educate people we care for and ourselves.

Every house I know in India subscribes to Times of India or Indian Express or Hindustan Times. Have you ever paid attention to the obvious bias shown by these rags? They are just like the Indian communists and leftists who, on the drop of a hat, will cry a river for a religious minority but not for Hindu dalits. The congress govt. is busy targeting CM Narendra Modi and Sadhvi Pragya while the Indian sympathizers of the 26/11 and every other terrorist attacks run free. Their mouthpieces, i.e. these rags only express fabricated rage while keep the Muslim incited riots like the one in Bareilly quite. I could go on forever exposing these false prophets but that is not the point of my email.
You have to identify the liars and the crooks and the cheats and hurt them where it hurts – The Pocket. Stop patronizing them. Do not watch their movies or TV stations or read their books or anything that helps them gain fame and money?

As far as the newspapers are concerned, I have found (I skim through more than 15 newspapers from various countries everyday – this is not a brag but confession of a debilitating addiction) that the only newspaper in India worth your time is The Daily Pioneer. It is objective and speaks the truth. The op-eds are informative and people who write them seem like genuine patriots.

Please cancel your subscription to TOI, or Express or HT and start reading Pioneer. You may not see pretty girls but you will get the truth.
