Zanda Ooncha Rahe Hamara.. Vijayi Vishwa Triranga Pyara...

Today, Bharat awakens to its sixty second anniversary, of Indian democracy…
Bharat, Hindusthan or India to foreigners, is a sovereign republic and democratically elected govt. run the administration. The democratic constitution being followed, empowers the citizens to reside in any part or corner of the entire country and buy and sell land anywhere within the country…
But,
The same law is inapplicable in Jammu and Kashmir, though they are very much an integral part of the union of India. J&K survives on the financial aids received from the central govt.
Still,
The Hon. C.M. [To use the word ‘honorable’ for a human as disintegrating as Omar Abdullah, is an insult of the term] of J&K, has blatantly denied to hoist the Indian flag, in Lal Chowk, on the pretext of possibility of breakdown of Law and Order!!!
The C.M. who is unable to unfurl the Indian tri-color, the symbol of the country’s independence, proves he has completely failed to control the security of the region and thus, has no choice but to resign and surrender to the Presidential rule.
The hoisting of Triranga, brings alive the memories of thousands of humans, who have sacrificed their lives to create the Independent India, for us. Every tiny bit of soil, of Motherland India, chants the saga of martyrs.
Omar Abdullah had the audacity to insist on his demand of removal of para-military forces from the valley, on the pretext of the innocent Kashmiris being harassed by the army. He proclaimed that the atmosphere in the valley, would be peaceful, if the existence of army is eliminated, from the region.
Now,
he denies to hoist the tri-color, posing threat to Law and Order situation being jeoporadised!!!
This conduct clearly indicates his intentions to support the separatists. If he has no control over maintaining security of the area, then why remove the para-military forces from the land???
The answer is simple…
Now, it is on the our WEAK prime minister, to open his eyes to the fact, that Weather Mr. Omar Abdullah, grandson of Late Shaikh Abdullah, who had protested against the then king of Kashmir, Late Shri Hari Singh, in 1945, to remove from the throne, is waking up to the fact that he supports the separatist movement in Kashmir completely???
Shri L.K.Advani, had addressed Sardarji, to be the WEAK P.M.
But,
Shri Sardarji, has decided to wrong him in his address..
He is proving out to be the WEAKEST Prime Minister!!!
The Hon. Sardarji, did not possess the guts to order Omar to hoist the Triranga, with minimum officials around. Many states in India are surrounded by various calamities and troubles. The Naxal movement in Zartkhand and Chattisgarh, are creating havoc…
But,
Are these states, allowed to not hoist tri-color on the Republic Day???
No and Never..
The celebration, of National Festival, is conducted on the same day, may be on a small and large scale, but it’s occurrence happens on the very same day and date.
It was a humble duty of the central govt. to command from Omar, celebration of the Republic Day, as all the other states are holding.
But,
The word GUTS starts with capital G..
And,
Its in bits and pieces within the soul of Indian P.M.
The young turfs of the Bharatiya Janta Yuva Morcha, Shri Anurag Singh and his young brigade, took it up on themselves to resurrect the past pride of Ma Bharati..
Shri Arun Jaitley, the leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha, offered to be present in the ceremony if Omar, would have initiated flag hoisting.
But,
Mr. Omar Abdullah has other immoral intentions…

Sabka Mangal ho.. Mission Mangalam. Swarnimsiddhi-38.

The blood, running through the veins of the Gujarati community, spells business. The people residing in this extreme western state of India, think, eat, drink and sleep ‘business’.
And,
With the availability of stimulating industrious opportunity, this land has become hub, for investment, not only for Gujaratis, but for people from around the globe. Since the last decade, Gujarat, has turned into, investors paradise, due to the infra-structural facilities coming up and encouraging and co-operative administrative aptitude.
In the recently concluded Vibrant Gujarat Summit, the investment worth Rs. 20.83 Lakh Crores, was drawn. Every major industrial house proposed to set up various industries, around the state. Gujarat, is bustling with commercial activity and thus, it has resulted in about 52 lakhs job opportunity for people of the state.
The Hon. C.M. of Gujarat, is not only visionary in his attitude, but also possesses compassionate instincts. During the fifth Vibrant Summit, Shri Narendra Modi, urged the top corporate to create an organization, for the welfare of women-folk of the state.
The Mission Mangalam, as this programme is known as, is created gathering groups of 20 or less, women known as ‘Sakhimandal’. They are provided with complete raw-material to marketing facility, required to run, cottage industry. All together, 34 corporates, agreed to co-operate, in fulfilling this venture and the total amount of 20,000 crores would be provided by these corporate, to implement this plan.
Thus, the empathetic outlook, of Shri Modiji, intends persuading the social responsibilities within the hearts of millionaire industrial house. He appeals to all those, to cater for the welfare of the society.
And,
Thus, Gujarat steps forward, in becoming a land, where not only the moneyed flourish, but also the common man can acquire living a comfortable life.
Where mothers and daughters can live with head held high..
Vande Gujarat..
Vande Matram.

The hidden motives of so called 'Dharmarakshaks'... Shame on them.

Very yesterday, the welcoming news appeared, that finally, the newly appointed Vice-chancellor of Darul Uloom, the Deobandhi Seminary, Maulana Ghulam Mohhammed Vastanavi, a Muslim clergyman with educated and solicitous outlook, appreciated Shri Narendra Modi’s unbiased governance, that has brought about equal prosperity, to Muslims living in the state of Gujarat, under his regime, in last eight years.
But,
His words, acted as a heart attack to all those clergies, who tirelessly work to sow the seeds of poisonous animosity among the conservative and uneducated Muslim masses. Their entire game plan of pretending to be the savior of Muslims, by constantly provoking them with Modi-bashing, received a serious jolt, as the leader, praising the good governance and through it, the opulence to Muslim, was none other than a respected Maulana himself and that too, belonging to the esteemed Deobandhi Seminary!!!
The solo intentions of Syed Ahmed Bukharis, imam of Jama Masjid and Kamaal Farooquis, the chairman of Minority Commission and member of Muslim Personal Law Board and all such, is to promote the communal acrimony between Hindus and Muslims. They abhor the community living between the two religion and thus they, on the pretext of ‘Islam Khatre Main Hai’, have been constantly igniting the fire. Akhtarul Wassey, head of department of Islamic Studies in Jamia Milia Islamia University, stated that Ex. P.M. Shri A.B. Vajpayee had asked Shri Narendra Modi, to follow his ‘Rajdharma’, in 2002..
Now,
In 2011, I would want to ask Akhtarul Wassey, to again pose this question to Shri A.B. Vajpayee and enquire, who follows the authentic ‘Rajdharma’??? His finger will be pointed towards Shri Narendra Modi...As the world witnesses impartial good governance of Shri Modiji and the affluence, that has brought to Muslims, of Gujarat.
And,
Who else is performing ‘Rajdharma’, if not Shri Modiji.. the respected Sardarji, by any chance, who, when informed by the German Govt. about the list of Indians having secrete Swiss Bank Accounts refused fervidly to publish them, in order not to bring them embarrassment!!! Are the criminals to be saved of embarrassment? I saw shri Soli Sorabji yesterday contemplating this very issue and looking as if he was completely disgusted by the going-on in the central government. But that is the topic for separate writing.
But before I conclude, I would like to ask everyone reading this piece, what, according them is Rajdharma?. If the miracle that is the progress for Gujarat brought about by Shri Modiji is not fulfillment of his Rajdharma than what is? If a Muslim religious teacher, a very honest to his self for sure, praises Shri Modiji’s governance then what other proof of fulfilled of Rajdharma is required? and if Wallstreet Journal writes following words about Shri Modiji than who other can show the fulfillment of Rajdharma better?
“In the end, most states can't hope to replicate, at least not overnight, Gujarat's entrepreneurial culture and sensible attitudes toward wealth creation. But other elements of the state's model-strong leadership, anti-corruption efforts, a streamlined bureaucracy and a welcoming attitude toward business-can travel without damage across its borders. And Mr. Modi, Gujarat's longest-serving chief minister, is proof that good governance can also be good politics. The sooner more states figure this out, the better it will be for India.”

Gujarat rules.. The Vibrant Gujarat Summit.. Swarnimsiddhi-36

The progress of any region is based on the industrial growth of the region. Every state has undertaken numerous steps to initiate the encouragement to various industrial units.
Gujarat, is marching ahead in the chase, to attract internal as well as international investments. Gujarat Industrial investment organization, Industrial Extention Buerau, State Industrial Board and many such have become members, in fulfilling this plan.
The state Govt. conducted ‘RESURGENT GUJARAT’ in 2002 February but this project was limited to a regular seminar and an exhibition.
To provide the state with global image, the plan of RESURGENT GUJARAT’ was incapable and thus, the entire arrangement was re-planned in the form of summit, popularly known as THE VIBRANT GUJARAT summit. Now, the summits take place every two years. The summit encourages more and more investors to invest in Gujarat.
The purpose of conducting such summit, is to make available concrete base of various industrial opportunities and necessary aids from the governing body and bring development in the state. It aims at Gujarat becoming a brand name to attract investors and developing a world wide recognition of the state. The Vibrant Gujarat summit, thus has been successfully producing an atmosphere conducive to invest in number of fields, from not only within the country but even from around the globe. The MOu s being signed, between the Govt. and the respective investors, encourages more and more people and industrial houses, to be part of the ensuing growth. The required paper work has already been done previously.
The fifth Vibrant Gujarat summit is scheduled to take place tomorrow, on 12th and 13th January 2011 at Mahatma Mandir, Gandhinagar.
The Vibrant Summits began in 2003. Generally, the summits are scheduled around either Navratri or Makar Sankrant, the two festivals extremely poular in Gujarat and thus, the summits also creates the mood of rejoicing among the visitor.

The sectors, in which the investments upcoming are:
1.Chemicals and Petro chemicals
2.Oil and Gas.
3.Pharmaceuticals and Bio-technology.

8.Agriculture and Food
Recently, in 2009 Vibrant Gujarat Summit, the investments in the field of Tourism and entertainment has also been targeted.

The Solar Energy projects are the new addition that has attracted investment, recently and it is assumed a large amount of investment will be brought in this sector.
All the prominent industrial houses have done large chunks of investment in today’s Gujarat.
And,
To quote the words of Shri Ratan Tata, of Tata Group, “One is stupid, if he does not invest in Gujarat…”
In the ancient era, the port of Surat, in Gujarat one could envisage fgags of 84 countries from the world, meaning all these countries used to do business here..
Now,
The old glory has come back again..
84 countries are participating in this global Vibrant Gujarat Summit..
Shri Narendra Modiji’s visionary outlook and the committed strength of all five and a half crore Gujaratis have made Gujarat, a power to reckon with and contributed hugely in increasing the GDP of Mother India.
Vande Gujarat..
Vande Matram.

The mockery of Congress principals, conducted by the current Congress. Sardar's soul must be sobbing!!!

Recently, my husband wrote and directed a Gujarati stage play, on the lives of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. To portray, biography of an epic-like personality, mammoth research was conducted. I, too digged myself in absorbing information about this grand personality.
And,
I must say, I am truly sanctified..
He was the ardent Congress leader of the pre-independence era and became the first Hon. Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister of independent India. A committed Congressman, for his entire life..

He was the person, who had understood the principal of Secularism to its fullest, which Congress of today, claims to be based on. Secularism, to him was not appeasing any one party or group but working ceaselessly, for the welfare of the society, giving no preference to any one religion over other.
Mahatma Gandhi’s belief of secular justice, was acknowledged and implemented, in its true flavor, a step ahead than Gandhiji himself, by Sardar.
Sardar in his speech at Hajira, had proclaimed, that he was neither a Hindu, nor a Patel, but he was only a dedicated Bharatiya [Indian]...
But,
These words did not, by any which way, meant that he favored Muslims. He was strictly against the word, ‘ appeasement’, and was dead against settling the refugees from Kashmir and Pakistan, on the bases of religion, fearing such appeasement would eventually result into communal tensions.
Anything that was preferable for welfare and security of people of this nation, he implemented it, no matter, with whoever he had to argue. Jinnah had demanded a kilometer long passage passing from the center of our newly formed country and Mahatma Gandhi, was of opinion about considering it, stating it would be of convenience for Jinnah, to run the East and West Pakistan efficiently and thus, the Indian Govt. must consider about giving it, in order to maintain cordial relations with the neighbor, a brother, who had just separated.. Sardar, ruthlessly denied such demands as it was against the security of our nation and its people. Sardar, did not hesitate to negate the appeal by Mahatma himself, whom he considered respectable and his own mentor, philosopher and guide!!! His motto, was not to offer the society, what they wish to have but to work endlessly, for what is good for them..
And,
He did it incessantly...
Sardar, who hailed from very humble background of a small peasant family and had toiled to give a decent lifestyle to his family, was completely involved in his career and maintaining high standard of living. He charged, an enormous fee of Rs. 12 !!! in 1917.. and indulged in playing bridge, smoking etc.
But,
After involving himself in the freedom struggle in 1917, after a meeting with Mahatma Gandhi, he completely devoted himself to the well-being of society. He started his political career, with becoming a councilor in Ahmedabad Municipality and provoked titanic changes.
His name was projected to be the first prime minister of independent India, by 12 regional govt.s, out of 15, but he let it pass on the status to Shri Nehru, on insistence of Mahatma.
Yet,
He remained a simple soul throughout his life.. A gigantic personality, to whom we, the people of independent India, are enormously debted, for the map of our nation. The boundaries that give us security of residing within the oneness of a country. He toiled to abolish small kingdoms and their autocratic rule. Every kingdom, within the boundary of motherland, was compelled to be part and parcel of Bharat.
Such, massive was his contribution, to Congress and our nation, he could have effortlessly cosseted in promoting his son, Dahyabhai, either politically or professionally..
But,

This truthful man, preferred to keep him away and struggled on his own. Dahyabhai was an insurance agent and Sardar fired him, if he tried to gain business using his father’s name.
That was one Congressman and look at the current lot..
The legend, who served the motherland, devotionally did not leave any legacy, for his heirs, to be pampered and followed, most unlike his collegue!!!
And,
On the day, he passed away...
All that he owned, was a single pair of clothes, that he was wearing!!! He had donated his few pairs of clothes, his watch that he was using since last 20 years and few other belongings to Kasturba Sewashram, that his daughter Maniben took care of.
Little before his death, he solicited Maniben, to personally deliver Rs. 30,000 in cash, belonging to Govt. of India and obtain receipt for the same!!! Every penny that belonged to the Govt. was people’s money, in his eyes.
Today, the scenario is completely roller coasted. The Congress ethics, that Sardar followed and the principals he lived for have been totally twisted. Nepotism has been deep rooted in Congi-culture. Striking over the nation’s treasury is as common as chips and chalk.
And,
The simple living has been long forgotten word. Scams and more scams are part of Congress-men’s lives. Today, after 60 long years, we miss Sardar the most. His iron conduct and committed patriotism has been inspirational for the coming generations.
But,
Sadly, the Congress men have deserted Sardar and his principals, completely.
They are indulging in favoritism, worshipping legacy culture and creating scandals..
And,
Sardar’s soul must be watching the ruckus being created, by the party that he built with his blood..
And,
Shading tears..
Tears of blood!!!
We, the people of this grand country, have one question, on our lips..
Will we get, another Sardar, ever...???

The Lake that fulfills wishes!!! It will.. of 5.5 crores Gujaratis and eventually every Indian.. Kalpsar Project.. Swarnimsiddhi-35.

If you look at the map of Gujarat, on the extreme west of motherland India, on the first glance, it portrays, a picture shot of a Lion, with an open jaws, geared up to strike!!!
And,
Today…
Gujarat, the state has proven this image, by equipped and organized to grab every opportunity, that leads to progress of the state and hence the growth of its citizens.
Yet again, if you gaze at the map of the state, one will notice, that Gulf of Khambhat that separates the area of Saurashtra, from the Khambhat region and one has to travel, a pretty long distance, by road and rail ways to reach the Saurashtra.
The visionary C.M. of Gujarat, Shri Narendra Modi, envision an ambitious mission that would be beneficial to the entire state, in multiple ways.
Shri Modiji has embarked upon an grand project termed Kalpasar - which literally means A Lake That Fulfils Wishes.
Estimated to cost about Rs.54,000 crore, this project envisages the construction of a dam of 64 km across the Gulf of Khambhat, joining Ghogha on the west coast and Hansot on the east coast of the Gulf, forming a water basin of more than 2,000 sq km.
Through a 660-km canal system, 1.05 million hectares of land in coastal Saurashtra will be irrigated. The water will be available for domestic agricultural and industrial use. In addition, the project is expected to generate 5,880 MW of tidal power. The project will have the potential to completely change the economic profile of the state.
Moreover, the dam would have the 8 lane road that would connect the two destinations, cutting short the long travelling time.
Thus, the Ambassador of Gujarat, the king of animals, the Lion of Gir, projects to provide the Lion share, in the development and escalation of Indian economy, by accelerating the growth in every which way, in the Lion shaped state.
Vande Gujarat..
Vande Matram.
