^^ Reminds me of a story I heard a long time ago about how an IT company wanted to open an office in Punjab but was asked for 200 crore bribe. That company opened their office in Gurgaon eventually.

I am not an IT expert. One aspect about Nidhi Razdan episode intrigues me. She claims a 'phishing' attack. But how is it a 'phishing ' attack? Does she mean that her computer was hacked into and mail purportedly from Harvard University was dumped into her mail box? Because she has never denied any of the mail purportedly written by her. On the contrary she willingly persuaded herself to claim a Harvard University faculty position in the course of TV debates etc. If her allegation is that Harvard University computer was hacked into, then the victim is the University itself. But they are not complaining.

Prior to her system being compromised, she might have received one of those "Apply now, for a Journo. faculty position in Harvard" email that contained the phishing link. Being Nidhi, she might have clicked the link that would have taken her to the fake site along with several malwares/RATs being downloaded into her PC. If this is the case, the person doing this will have more information about her activities that he/she might reveal in the future.

Are they the land owning jutt Sikhs? Most likely not. I too have many Sikh friends working in IT, all come from middle class backgrounds and come from more urban areas. The only jutt Sikhs I know outside of Punjab are in Bollywood or forces.

NDTV asking Rubbish to leave is highly unlikely. His show is the only one with any decent viewership on NDTV. He probably is the second most popular news anchor (though quite distant from first) on News Channels after Doorknob and probably the only one keeping NDTV afloat.

12 Reasons Why Protest at Delhi Borders is Not About Farms or Farmers

12 Reasons Why Protest at Delhi Borders is Not About Farms or Farmers

They seem surprisingly intent to continue the deadlock and precipitate a state of anarchy. It also seems, strangely, that the protestors are happy with the existing agriculture set up and want no change to it.

JANUARY 16, 2021,
Swadesh Singh

A peculiar situation is unfolding at the borders of Delhi, where the national highways stands jammed and life has come to a standstill. Since last eight weeks, many groups including farmer organisations, Communist parties, social activists, and others, have been protesting against the agriculture laws passed by the Parliament in September 2020. While the government has repeatedly iterated that it would like to discuss the bills with the protestors but the suggestion has been stonewalled with demand for blanket repeal of laws.

The Supreme Court of India has stayed the implementation of the three agriculture laws, and has formed a four-member committee to resolve the stalemate. The government is already holding talks with the protestors and, so far, nine rounds of talks have taken place. The protesters now say that they do not accept the apex court appointed committee and want no less than a repeal of the laws. What stands out is the unwillingness of the protesting groups to find a solution. They seem surprisingly intent to continue the deadlock and precipitate a state of anarchy. It also seems, strangely, that the protestors are happy with the existing agriculture set up and want no change to it. This brings to question the locus standi of protestors. Are these protests for farms or farmers at all?

1. Many participants of this agitation are professional activists who have been regularly seen sloganeering against the current central government on different issues ranging from demonetisation, GST, Surgical Strike, 370, Ram Temple and so on so forth.

2. In their charter of demands, repeal of agriculture laws is only one of the issues. The other issues have nothing to do with farms or farmers. One major issue is to release of Naxal activists and rioters.

3. Posters and photos of Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam, Varavara Rao and others, with Naxalite and Islamist terror links have appeared at the agitation site. Many of these are not known as activists working for the farmers cause.

4. Many participants in the stir are from Punjab. These are rich farmers involve in the business of aadhat. Aadhatis are the middlemen in the mandis who buy the crops from the small farmers at low prices and sell at high prices. In 1991, the economic reforms were announced by the Rao government. Since then we have seen many reforms in different sectors. All the reforms were opposed by those who were beneficiaries of the old system. The current agitation is also an example of this. It is not a farmers’ protest but an aadhahti agitation who don't want a liberal regime in the farming sector.

5. The convenor of the All India Kisan Sangharsh Co-ordination Committee (AIKSCC) was Sardar VM Singh who has a declared property in crores. He had contested two Lok Sabha elections on Congress ticket. However, he was removed from the post of convenor when he offered to have talks with the government.

6. Most farmers and farm unions of the country have supported these laws and released statements that the laws are in favour of the farmers of India.

7. Evidences point that this agitation received funds from many radical organisations that demand Khalistan and are banned in India, such as Sikhs for Justice. Pro-Pakistan and pro-Khalistan slogans were raised by the protesters and the agitation was hijacked by people with nefarious agenda. The Government of India has also said this on record in the Supreme Court.

8. The facilities available at the protest site mock the life of an average Indian farmer who struggles to make the ends meet. Gyms, foot massage parlours, and pizza stalls at the protest site are antithetical to the real life of a farmer. It becomes clear that these winter campers don't represent an average Indian farmer.

9. The government is ready to talk and the Supreme Court has intervened and formed a committee, yet the protesters refuse to remove tents from the protest site. On the one hand, the protesters are talking with government representatives and on the other they have announced that they will move toward Delhi on 26 January in tractors. The objective seems to be to create anarchy and panic on a day of celebration and national unity. The forces behind this protest had done something similar last year during the visit of US President, and instigated riots in North-East Delhi.

10. Most farmers’ bodies are frontal organisations of different Communist parties and work behind the façade of neutrality and rights of farmers. The All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee is a confederation of Leftist supported farmers groups like of All India Kisan Sabha and All India Kisan Mazdoor Sabha etc. This is not a surprise therefore that Communist flags are aplenty at the protest sites.

11. This is a protest backed by opportunistic opposition parties to defame the current central government. The Arvind Kejriwal led AAP government, which could not feed the poor migrants for five days during the pandemic, is now sending their leaders to perform sewadari at the farmers’ protest.

12. A member of the court-appointed committee, Bhupendra Singh Mann, has recused himself from the talks saying that he cannot compromise the interest of Punjab and farmers. This group of protestors had first approached the Supreme Court against the government and now when the court has formed a panel, they have pressured the member to leave the committee.

Those who believe in the politics of anarchy will never want a solution to any problem. On the other hand, several experts and international organisations have praised these laws. Even the IMF has said that the three agriculture laws passed by the Indian government have the potential to achieve a leap in reforms. Without doubt, these farm laws are stepping stones to modernise India's agriculture sector and should have been brought in long back. It is the entrenched beneficiaries of the old ways now stand in the way of change.

A house and auto rickshaw were burnt down by rioters. Another clash in connection with similar procession has been reported from Sadau village in Mundra taluka of Kutch district. Police said the situation was brought under control after baton-charge and use of six tear gas shells to disburse the crowds.

The 'farmer broker' gang has also said that they will be holding the rally on Outer ring roads of New Delhi and will not gate crash to the republic day parade. So looks like there is also some backstage manouvering happening. Delhi Police may allow the gang to have some kind of tractor racing on out skirts of Delhi, but they will ensure that the parade and the celebrations in the city proper goes on smoothly. Both parties manage retain their H&D.

The 'farmer broker' also seems to be realising that the more their tantrums, their credibility is diminishing. From what I heard, by March the harvest season would start and any genuine farmer will have to actually get back to their farm lands for the harvest. If they can still loiter around in New Delhi, it means they are no 'hands on' farmers but 'farmer brokers'. The SC appointed committee may also just drag on till the harvest season starts.

PM Modi performs Bhoomi Poojan of Ahmedabad Metro Project Phase 2 and Surat Metro Project
https://www.deshgujarat.com/2021/01/18/ ... o-project/
....
The Prime Minister pointed out the difference in approach between the previous governments and the current one taking reference of Metro expansion. He said, as compared to 200 kilometer long Metro line in 10-12 years before 2014, 400 kilometer long Metro line has been operationalized in last 6 years alone. Government is working on 1000-kilometer new lines in 27 cities. He lamented the absence of integrated modern thinking earlier. There was no national policy for Metro. As a result, there was no uniformity in technique and systems of Metro in different cities. Second lacuna was absence of linkage with the rest of the transport system of the city. Today transportation is being developed as an integrated system in these cities, in which Metro will not function in isolation but will work as a collective system. This integration will be taken further by the recently launched National Common Mobility card, asserted the Prime Minister.

Taking the example of Surat and Gandhinagar, the Prime Minister also dwelled on the thinking of the government on urbanization which is not reactive but proactive and keeps the needs of future in mind. Only two decades ago, Surat was mentioned for it plague epidemic rather than its development. The Government, promoted its spirit of entrepreneurial inclusion and toady, Surat is not only 8th largest city of the country- population-wise but also the 4th fastest growing city of the world. 9 out every 10 diamonds are cut and polished in Surat. Similarly, 40 per cent of man-made fabric of the country is made in Surat as about 30 per cent man-made fiber is being produced there. Surat, today, is the second cleanest city of the country. The Prime Minister also elaborated upon efforts in housing for poor, traffic management, roads and bridges, sewage treatment and hospitals for enhancing the ease of living in the city. This became possible by better planning and holistic thinking, and Surat has turned out to be a great example of ‘Ek Bharat, Shresth Bharat’ as it is home to entrepreneurs and laborer from all parts of the country, said the Prime Minister.

Similarly, Prime Minister talked about the journey of Gandhinagar, which underwent a transformation from a city of government employees and retirees to a young vibrant city. Today, Gandhinagar is identified by renowned institutes like IIT, National Law University, NIFT, National Forensic Science University, Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University, Indian Institute of Teacher Education, Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, National Institute of Design (NID), Raksha Shakti University etc. These institutions have not only transformed education landscape of the city but also brought companies to the campuses, increasing the employment avenues in the city. Shri Modi also mentioned Mahatama Mandir which gave a push to conference-tourism. Projects like modern railway station. Gift City, Sabarmati River Front, Kankariya Lake Front, water aerodrome, bus rapid transit system, world’s largest stadium in Motera, six-lane Gandhinagar Highway have become Ahmedabad’s identity. The City is getting a modern makeover without sacrificing its old character, said the Prime Minister.

Shri Modi also mentioned that Ahmedabad has been declared ‘World Heritage City’, and is getting a new airport in Dholera. The airport will get connected with Ahmedabad with already-approved Mono-Rail. Work is under progress on Bullet Train connecting Ahmedabad and Surat to the financial capital of the country- Mumbai.

The Prime Minister also took up the steps taken in the area of rural development. He termed the improvement brought in roads, electricity, water situation in Gujarat over the period of last two decades as an important chapter in the journey of Gujarat’s development. Today, every village of Gujarat is connected with all-weather road. Tribal villages too have better roads. Today, 80 percent of households in Gujarat have piped water. 10 Lakh water connections have been provided in the state under Jal Jeevan Mission. Soon every household will have water from tap.

Similarly, irrigation has seen new momentum as Sardar Sarovar Sauni Yojna and water grid network has taken irrigation water to dry areas. Narmada water has reached Kutch. Work has been done in micro-irrigation. Electricity is another success story and Gujarat is leading state in solar power. Recently, work was started on the world’s largest solar plant in Kutch. Gujarat is the first state in the country to give separate electricity for irrigation under Sarvodya Yojana.

The Prime Minister also enumerated steps in health sector such as Ayushman Bharat Scheme which has benefited 21 lakh people in the state. More than 500 Jan Aushadh Kendra’s saving about 100 crore for local patients. More than 2.5 lakh houses were built under PM Awas-Gramin. More than 35 lakh toilets were built in the state under Swachch Bharat Mission.

The Prime Minister asserted that India is taking bold decisions and implementing them with speed. India is not only doing big but also, better, said the Prime Minister. He cited, world’s largest statue, world’s largest affordable housing programme, healthcare assurance programme, Internet connectivity in 6 lakh villages, recently launched worlds larges vaccination campaign as examples of this thinking.

He also mentioned Ro-pax ferry services between Hazira and Ghogha and Girnar Rope-way as two examples which, through their swift implementation, changed the lives of the local people. These schemes have saved fuel and time as distance between Ghongha and Hazira got reduced from 375 km to 90 km by ferry. The service has been patronised by 50 thousand people in two months and 14 thousand vehicles were also ferried on the service. This has helped farmers and animal husbandry in the region. Similarly, Girnar Rope-way has been used by more than 2 lakh people in two and half months.

The goal of new India can only be achieved by working rapidly with understanding of people’s needs and aspirations, said the Prime Minister. Shri Modi put forth his PRAGATI system as a step in this direction. PRAGATI has brought new momentum in the implementation culture of the country as it is chaired by the Prime Minister himself. Effort is to talk directly with the stakeholders and find solutions for the problems. In last 5 years we have reviewed projects worth rupees 13 lakh crore, said the Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister emphasized that with solutions of long pending schemes, cities like Surat get new energy. Our industry, especially small-scale industry, MSME get the confidence that they have the support of good infrastructure when they compete globally. Under Aatmnirbhar Bharat Campaign, many steps have been taken to help these small industries as they have been provided easy loans worth thousands of crore to tide over the difficult times. They are being given great opportunities by steps like redefinition of MSME that has helped with the fear of expansion, as traders were weary of losing benefits if they grew bigger than the defined limit. Government has removed these restrictions and has opened new avenues for them. Similarly, this redefinition has removed the distinction between manufacturing and service enterprise, creating new possibilities for the service sector. They are also being given preference in the government procurement. The Government is committed to provide opportunities to small industries to flourish and laborer working in these units should have better amenities and better life, concluded the Prime Minister.

the "harvest season" makes no difference to these mollycoddled "farmers".

they are not the working hands on the farms

they can afford to stay on protest almost indefinitely so long as foreign funded langars, madrasahs and the khujliwal govt continues to support them with food, luxurious amenities, free water, electricity and sanitation services and the protestors are regularly rotated every week or two with others taking their places.

SC has correct yard stick and judgement. If farm bills were that important then the supporters would have also hit the road or flooded social media upon realizing that it may not be implemented. More and more it sounds like the battle that PJ farmers need to fight against people enslaving them at local level. Pawar being ahead of the curve stayed quiet as he didn't anticipate any pain.

I am interested in this, being a Punjabi. Do the District authorities not make their own decisions on industrial development ? or is this decided centrally by the state authority?

On my travels in Uttarkund and HP I did notice that there were a lot of fruit orchards in the mountains, of these fruits could be brought down to the plains then they could be processed in factories in Punjab. Various fruit juices. It's just a matter of getting the stuff down efficiently, which could be done on cable cars.

Also re stubble burning, surely the state could set aside land to build several factories to harvest the stubble and also set up bio-ethenol plants. Jobs galore.

My cousins told me that it was pretty much a free for all. No one in power or authority cared.

I am not from PJ but have seen many from PJ move to GJ over decades. The issue to deal with here seems to be a political one and not due to lack of ideas about what can be done in PJ. No idea will succeed till the house is cleaned up. The same situation as in other states. For example, MH will never see it's real potential till they get rid of political cloud hanging over there for decades. The fight is real and does demand real sacrifices if one were to learn from WB's fight to get itself freed from decades of suppression.

For a politician to care means the possibility of disenfranchisement. Not a aaya Singh gayaa Singh revolving premiership.

That there are Sikhs are everywhere, in IT etc is good and healthy.

I am posting this disturbing video to show the extent of blind hatred in PJ, which unfortunately appears to be largely of communal origin. For all the disgusting placards and hate speech that we have seen emanating out of this protest, how many voices from PJ have publically stood against them?
This will probably get worse before it gets better. And PJ will end up being the net loser for the blind reckless hate that has been tolerated and allowed to grow.

There will be a concerted effort to provoke a majority backlash and get a new stick to beat Hindus with. Godhra gave them a stick for close to 20 years. Hindus have gotten out of that for the past 10 years, are racing to fix many wrongs, and the speed is scaring the lutyens elite. Now another stick is needed. There will be more brazen attempts... it will be testing times over the next few years... farm law protests will be nothing to what might happen when UCC is passed...

On Jan. 12, the Institute of Politics at the Harvard Kennedy School booted her off its senior advisory committee after first trying to get her to go quietly.

Not sure if it is the appropriate thread, but still............

To all BRFites,
I started following a relatively less known YouTube Channel Prachyam (as on date 56 k subscribers in YT) from early days of ChinaVirus19 induced lockdown.

Prachyam makes awesome short videos on Hindu Dharma, Bharat, Civilization & our History (some times sarcastic videos also). I have recommended all in my circle to subscribe the channel. Simply love their videos. The theme is Indic & have our civilizational issues, but at the same time they are make videos with excellent & appropriate choice of background music (helps to connect youth).

A posting a few sample here.........

1. Please do subscribe this YouTube Channel Prachyam

2. Spread the word about them among your circle.

3. They have started a crowd funding campaign for project for making "10 Indic Documentaries in Powerful Visual Style".

Kudos for stuff well-done. Some things that should have found place in the list -

[1] e-Auction mechanism that stops wanton plunder of our natural resources by cronies.

[2] GST - One nation, one market (almost), one tax (indirect).

Stuff that should not be there in the list?

The NEP tops the chart. ZERO progress on freeing the primary and secondary edu sectors from full-frontal mainority domination by giving us dutty yindooze a level playing field and freedom from RTE toxicity.

Instead, the NEP apes western fads in the tertiary sector and opens the door to hyoomanities type jholas in the few islands of tertiary edu excellence we did have - the IISC, the IITs, the works.

I'm a proud Modi voter and supporter but am not a Modi-chamcha. Won't applaud what I disagree with and will call BS out for what it is, even if comes from the Modi stable. Only.

Jai Hind and Jai Ho.
