Hartal violence: Kerala govt starts attaching properties of PFI leaders.
Perhaps a "minor blow to secularism". Kerala High Court has been very vocal & critical about the commie government dilly dallying on taking strong actions against PFI, even after the ban on the organization. I am sure the North Kerala commie leadership would allow the attachments to happen with tears rolling down their cheeks.

What an unbelievable life in the Indian Army this outstanding exemplar of a selfless soldier has had.

Fate has been needlessly cruel to him but at 92 he is still cheerful and full of pep. Accepting of his chosen lot in life but no regrets for the huge burden that he has had to carry.

Sadly, they don't build them like him anymore.

This is a debt that simply cannot be repaid.

Be safe, General.

Khalistanis, mostly from Kaneda?

With the rate of conversions happening in Punjab they will claim a church in place of the golden temple... and a vatican sainthood for their cult leader.

Boat with 69 Rohingyas from Bangladesh lands in Car Nicobar of Andaman and Nicobar Islands
There is a constant influx of Rohingyas into India. 69 of them arrived from Bangladesh around 10:30 in the morning, at Malacca Jetty in Car Nicobar, the northernmost of the Nicobar Islands. According to reports, the refugees moored their boat, named ‘Ma-Babar Doa’ (blessings of parents), at the inoperational Malacca Jetty.

The boat was occupied by 19 men, 22 women and 28 children. They claimed that they landed in Andaman and Nicobar as a result of severe weather and their boat ran out of fuel. Furthermore, they revealed that two weeks prior, they had left a relief camp.

The coast guard, police and a disaster management team reached the location as soon as they had the information. Security personnel brought food, water and medicines for them. Officials confirmed that the medical assessment of these individuals is underway and that nothing can be disclosed at the moment. Moreover, this information has been shared with the Ministries of Home Affairs and External Affairs. The jetty is being kept off-limits to the general public.

Car Nicobar has an Indian Air Force (IAF) base which is located in IAF Camp village.

Sorry to say this, but this is exactly why we are still a soft state (though things are 10X better under the current Govt). We should have a formal program of deportation, with detention centers and a timebound plan. This situation should not be handled on an ad-hoc basis.

We are also too pally-pally with Bangladesh because, God-forbid a more radical Govt comes to power or they fall into Chinese arms. They keep exporting jihadis while ethnically cleansing Hindus (there is news on this every day in social media). Time to crack the whip with these Islamic qtiya countries and show them who is the boss.

Yes, our PIL shits like Prashant Bhushan and SC liberal-darling will come on their horses like knights, but they need to be sternly handled as well

Coimbatore Blast Case: NIA Raids Multiple Locations Across Tamil Nadu
Chennai: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is conducting raids at multiple locations across Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala in connection with the Coimbatore blast case. The raids are conducted in over 60 places.

According to ANI, sources said, “National Investigation Agency conducts raids in Coimbatore and Mayiladuthurai, in connection with the Coimbatore car cylinder blast case. Raids are underway at multiple locations across Tamil Nadu."
In November last year, the NIA also raided 43 locations in eight districts of Tamil Nadu in connection with the case. The NIA raided Chennai, Coimbatore, Thiruvallur, Tiruppur, Nilgiris, Chengalpattu, Kanchipuram and Nagapattinam districts in Tamil Nadu. They also searched a location in Palakkad district of Kerala.

Till now, the police have arrested suspects identified as Ummer Farooq, Mohammed Thoufiq, Feroze Khan, Mohammed Talka, Sheikh Hidayathullah and Sanofar Ali. CCTV visuals from the place also showed Mubin and three of his accomplices shifting two gas cylinders and some explosives in the car last taken by Mubin.

Sachin saab,

In many of the local industries, in big and smaller TN cities and towns, the productivity of the NI labour is only appreciably high, but also reliable and way way higher, in direct contrast to the local labour. The NI labour steer clear of all politics but for the local labour, caste and politics is their daily bread and butter as is a daily visit to the TASMAC

Using only local labour, many of these industries will not even manage to survive, let alone thrive.

The NI labour generally hire a small house, five to six men stay together, having left their families behind in their NI villiages. They cook collectively and share expenses. They work in shifts at their factories. Many smaller factory owners gratefully provide them with free chicken on sundays which these guys cook and relish.

They spend minimally on themselves, saving and sending money back home to their families. That's why the free sunday chicken is so very welcome.

They stay completely loyal to their employers with no off days or even sick days.

the stoopide dravidian politicos are playing a very dangerous game and, if and when such matters escalate, they will not be able to handle the blowback from other states.

All factory owners in places like tirupur and some of the other industrial towns are an extremely worried lot.

Please stop posting fake news, rumors and bullshit on BRF, just because it is being spread by BIF type elements on social media. All of the videos and rumours being spread have been proven to be fake and there are no such attacks on migrant workers going on in TN.
https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/p ... 2023-03-04
https://indianexpress.com/article/polit ... d-8479266/
https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/p ... 2023-03-04

Each and every one of the videos being shared as being 'attacks on migrants in TN' have been debunked as fake, all of them are old videos, most of them are not from TN and the one video that actually involved Biharis was again an old video showing a fight between two groups of migrant labour.

Looks like apart from some newspaper that published fake news and some Muslim guy in Bihar called Tanveer, the local Bihar BJP unit has also been engaging in such dangerous BIF style rumour mongering just because the ruling party in Bihar attended some stupid function by the TN CM. However even Annamalai has debunked this bullshit.
Tamil Nadu BJP president K Annamalai said that migrant workers are safe and secured in Tamil Nadu and that there was a deliberate attempt to malign the state’s reputation through false news.

An ex-colleague of mine (son of a Subedar Major from MEG) wanted to start a small farm in Coimbatore after his stint in US. He soon realised that running the farm with local Tamil labour is practically impossible. Women generally do house hold chores in few houses and make money to survive. ADMK and DMK have provided them with basic stuff like TV, Fan etc, so that is taken care off. The men work the bare minimum (or bash up the wife at home) to make just enough money to land up at TASMAC and enjoy the daily quota.

He soon got labour from North Eastern parts. As you said they generally live together, all of them can do basic cooking. They go on vacations once in a year. The sad part is that, during the 1980s it was TN labour which did excellent work in Kerala. Kerala had the same problems which TN is facing today. Men did not want to do backbreaking manual work. And TN labour were brought in truck loads. And of these labourers actually became labour contractors and have settled down in Kerala (I personally know the story of one such person - Real rags to riches story).

Karnataka cities too are not much different. But there is not very high hostility towards the workers. The masons & labourers are from Bihar & Haryana, the mestiris from TN. Tile laying workers are from Rajasthan. Even the local plumber and electricians have NI men as their side kicks. From what I understand, in Bengaluru Metro construction labour more than 90% are from Northern India.
Bart S wrote:Looks like apart from some newspaper that published fake news and some Muslim guy in Bihar called Tanvee
The most stupid one was the BJP Bihar unit saying that Biharis were hanged to death in TN (lynching). Come on!, if such an incident happens will it be hushed up? TN, KL, KA are not such states where things have gone so bad. Any way a case has been filed (in TN) against the BJP leader. But it needs to be watched to see if Tamizh Nadu Kaaval actually goes to Bihar and arrest the man.
Aditya_V wrote:But the problem will not be there if not for the wrong politics of INC plus DMK, who diatribes against North Indians is unfair.
The key issue is that, BJP as a national party needs to keep National Unity, Integration etc in mind. It cannot antoganize any group in a very bad way. DMK does not have such problems. Because they jolly well know that they have no clout outside TN borders. Their parochial and chauvanistic views will help them in TN. Fundings may be coming from EJ groups outside the country. Same is the case with CPI(M) in Kerala. They mollycoddle the Islamists.

^^ The phenomenon that Sachin Sir mentioned above is not just unique to TN. Punjab/Harayana/Delhi etc have the same issue. If one day Bihar/UP/BanglaDesh decided to close their borders the employer states will collapse in a week. Every young man/woman in richer states is going to some phoren lands with entire villages filled with aging parents with helpers from three main sources. If Modi wants mass industrialization he better hurry up, India's youth is not exactly hankering for those factory jobs. It's a scary phenomenon.

While it is important for the youth in these rich states to contribute to nation building. The one thing we all need to understand is there is no shortage of labor anywhere in India. Labor costs may be high, but labor is available and anecdotes like the above cannot be taken as a norm. The problem with states like Bihar is that the poor people need to go to these far-off states for work as there is very little local employment and agricultural income is drying up. While there is no targeted exploitation, this sort of labor is the most vulnerable as there is no social security net. We need to come up with a lot low tech manufacturing jobs to save these families from poverty and exploitation. This is where we need to see how we can stop Chinese goods dumped into our market and destroying our potential for local industrial dev. But I agree this whole north-south divide debate gets really ugly and it cannot be sorted out if BJP comes across as a North Indian Party. It needs to be Indian Party, which means embracing local cultural values.

They will get the farming done by the bangladeshis, or the Rohingyas (if AAP continues) or even the Pakjabis across the border (if the famiglia is back at the center). Combine harvestors from kaneda, of course. Plenty of choices.

Businessman Yusuf Ali summoned by ED for questioning in LIFE Mission case
ED attaches Rs 305-crore assets linked to Joyalukkas on hawala charges

The above businessmen are all from Kerala, and Yusuf Ali is said to be too close to the CPI(M) party now ruling the state. Yusuf Ali was also the person who kind of chaperoned the CM Pinarayi Vijayan during his trips to the Middle East.

Joy Alukkas (of the Alukkas group of jewellers) was not linked to any political outfits but was noted for his wealth. There are also videos in YouTube (in Malayalam) which gives an indication that all their wealth was not made by doing honest business. The origins of this business group is in Thrissur/Trichur in 1960s. The father of the brothers had an umbrella manufacturing unit. Then they started a small jewellery in early 1970s which officially sold silver ornaments, and gold jewellery unofficially. This was during the days when the Congress government had imposed very strict licensing on any thing connected with Gold. One of the brothers - Joy - moved to the Middle East in mid 1980s to open jewellery shops there. In 2000 the brothers split up their entire jewellery business. They added their own names to the "Alukkas" brand. Among the 5 brothers; Jose & Joy Allukkas were more wealthy. Paul Alukkas moved to real estate business, and is a strong critic of the other two. The other two brothers Francis & Anto are now completely out of the game.

ED now focusing on Kerala and businessmen from there, seems to indicate that GoI knows that the state is also now a front for smuggling, hawala and other terror financing schemes.

Punjab Police have not covered themselves with glory on the Amritpal episode. Its unpardonable for them to come up with excuses like: "Sir, he entered a 1 lane road, threw down a few motorists to slow us down and had escaped by the time we could catch up"

The above nonsense sounds like the script out of any number of Tamil/Hindi/Telugu movies! They should have commandeered a helicopter to keep overwatch. Could have collaborated with IB/NIA. Looks like Amritpal was given advance notice from the leaky system.

And I don't believe that Amritpal has been secretly arrested. As the average Sikh's response shows, they are quite happy to be rid of this dangerous charlatan. He is not such a big-shot that the arrest needs to be kept a secret

Punjab Police seems to have slid down significantly, compared to the KPS Gill days. Over the years, they seem to have gotten lazy, possibly corrupt with drug-running, with crypto-converts in their ranks & a Khalistani-pasand State Government to boot. The parallels to the TN police slide are quite alarming! Both police forces need a serious kick up their rear.

Apologies, but i really couldn't figure where to post this important (IMHO) bit of news.

Non-citizens not barred from seeking information under RTI Act: HC
Non-citizens are not barred from seeking information from public authorities under the Right to Information Act and it will be inherently contradictory to hold that such a right is available only to the citizens, the Delhi high court has said.

RTI Act places enormous emphasis on access to information which could relate to the life or liberty of a person, the court observed.

It added that preventing access to information to non-citizens -- on whom the Indian Constitution confers a "smaller bouquet of rights" -- would also be contrary to the constitutional principles.

"Considering that the RTI Act also accords information relating to life or liberty an important and distinct position, it would be inherently contradictory to hold that only citizens are entitled to the Right to Information. Life or liberty could also relate to non-citizens including foreigners, NRIs, OCI card holders and such other persons," said Justice Prathiba M Singh in a recent order.

The court said whether the information sought by a non-citizen deserves to be disclosed has to be left to the discretion of the authority concerned who would decide the same based on the facts, situation and the surrounding circumstances. #Thank the heavens for small mercies :roll:
