Hot facts about India

[cobra]

Hi Indians ,here are some hard facts, today without any make-up.
Statistically, highest number of illegal abortions of female fetuses is currently in India, according to the UNPF. Female infant mortality figures in India are 40% higher than male.
Its population is growing by 30 new births a minute, 1,815 per hour and 1.3m every month. Currently India has the highest number of people living under poverty line (almost 37% of total world’s poorest).
Currently, India has about 18.4% of the world population but has only about 2.1% of the total land area.
The executive director of the Global Fund to Fight Aids, Richard Feachem warned that India has overtaken South Africa as the country with the most HIV positive patients. Statistics warned that the epidemic has spread so quickly that India will have more than 60 % of world total HIV patients at this rate by 2020. Recently, the worst forms of child labour are found in India by the ILO and UNICEF jointly developed Rapid Assessment (RA) methodology.


It’s the only country known where a sitting prime minister, Morarji Desai, a Brahman (1979), started each day with a steaming glass of his own urine, calling it a medicine for depression. Its looks disgusting but Indians think urine as part of hindu religion, many rituals performed in India by drinking cow’s urine. External wounds are treated by washing with the person’s urine. A bizarre and and dangerous practice. This is surely a quick way to get tetanus and God knows what else.

Role of woman described in Hindu Religion which is followed by 54% of Indians:
From conception to death, woman had to suffer in uncountable ways like :
Child Marriage - Girls are to be married when 5 years old !
Dowry - Vedas prescribe this pracitice
Bride-Burning - if the dowry is insufficient
No Property
Mass Wife-Burning (Jauhar) - Often 100s are burnt at a time.
Widow-Burning (Sati) - Sanctioned by the Vedas, Puranas, practiced by Krishna’s wives, it still continues.

Due to the strict restrictions and regulations one feature arose that is apparently more common in Indian society than in any other part of the world: incest. References to this practice abound. Often the girls were unwilling, but were then forceed by their brothers/fathers. References abound even in the Rig Veda, showing that:
Pushan is the lover of his sister [Rg Ved VI.55.4] [Apte 11]
Agni is the lover of his own sister [Rg Ved X.3.3] [Apte 11]
Ashvins are referred to as the sons of Savitar and Ushas who are brother and sister [Apte 11].
The Ashvisns married Surya and Savitri who is their sister [RV I.116.19].
Agni is the son of his father and his sister [Rg Ved.I.91.7]
Yama wards off his sister Yami, saying marriage between brother and sister is forbidden [R.V.X.10] [Apte 11]
Father-daughter incest occurs in the famous story of Prajapati (later identified with Brahma, in tunr incorporated as an incarnation of Vishnu) and his daughter [RV III.31.1-2]. Moreover, this was punished. Prajapati is thought to have done something wrong, and Prajapati was pierced by Agni as a punishment [Sat.Br. XIII.9] [Apte 63].
It is evident that the strict laws on male-female relations led to the repression of normal practices and the rise of various perversions like brother-sister incest, father-daughter incest etc. Even to this day incest of varying degrees (father-daughter, mother-son, brother-sister, etc.) is extremely common in India. No other race on earth has ever recorded such a prevalence of this practice. Just as sodomy had its home in Persia, Lesbianism in ancient Lesbos, so incest has its home amongst the Indians.

Now, Bombay airport is number 2 and Delhi airport is number 5 on the listing of the Worst Airport(s) award. Unacceptable seating, foul odours, filth, fleas, safety, and general hassles have resulted in India's 8 year reign of the Worst Airport(s) Title. Travelers beware: You are welcomed with a stench of urine as you get off the plane. when sleeping in one of India's "fine" airports be sure you have your own bug spray, air freshener and disinfectant or just go to the nearest bar and drink the pain away. Once you pass customs the signs are not clear whether you are in airport or fish market or beggars’ Disney land.

Besides airports, Air India is ranked as number 7 in the world’s worst airlines since 1990. Moreover, Indian air force has lost more fighter planes in aviation disaster than any other country since WW-II. That’s the reason; today Indian air force has grounded its more 2/3rd of planes coz of outdated class.

Some of the worst Indian performances recently are in: Agriculture - Area - Barley (per capita), Grains - Corn production (per capita)- Rice exports (per capita) declining since 2000.Economy - Exports - Commercial services (per $ GDP) ,Merchandise (per $ GDP), Energy - Natural Gas Production -(per capita), Oil Production - lowest barrels daily (per capita), Oil Refinery capacities – losing thousand barrels daily (per $ GDP) every year, Environment - Known breeding bird species are at the worst (per capita), Environment - Pollution - Carbon Dioxide from fossil fuels worst since 2000 (per capita) ,Health - surgery (per capita) declining,
Crime – Kidnappings, murders on the rise eve year. Transportation - Airports - With unpaved runways - Total (per capita)
Military - Tanks (per $ GDP) on its worst, Transportation - Airports - With unpaved runways - Under 914 m (per capita).
Surprisingly in the ranking the military power of global countries by globalfirepower.com, India is currently positioned at number 9, as compared to its neighbor, Pakistan at number 6 in the world power ranking. India is losing its military power even more coz of outclass technology, corruptions. Quantity is not a Power but a quality is.
India is the only country in the world that has fought wars and has disputes with every single of its neighbors: Nepal, Bhutan, China, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh. One can judge easily who the trouble maker is among them.

Any Indian who feels depress with these facts, you know now which medicine to drink.

[vancha]

:rolleyes:
Dear Mr. Cobra You certainly bite.Are you a doctor or have you done any research before forming so many conclusions for India.

First of all Here are some hard facts about cows urine

Neem, Turmeric, Basmati and now Cow's Urine Next in line to Neem, Turmeric and Basmati is the use of Cow Urine. USA has recently patented cow urine as a distilled bio-distiller.

Medically, it is referred to as “plasma ultrafiltrate.” It is a purified derivative of the blood itself, made by the kidneys whose principal function is regulation of all the elements and their concentrations in the blood. Nutrient-filled blood passes through the liver where toxins are removed to be excreted as solid waste. Eventually, this purified blood undergoes a more extensive filtering process in the kidneys, where excess components not usable at that time by the body are collected in the form of the sterile, watery solution that is urine.
Far from being harmful, urine contains known healing agents. Clinical studies have proven that the thousands of critical body chemicals and nutrients that end up in urine reflect the individual body’s functions. When re-utilized, these chemicals and nutrients act as natural vaccines, antibacterial, antiviral and anticarcinogenic agents as well as hormone balancers and allergy relievers.
For example, melatonin, present in significant amounts in urine, is a natural hormone that has already been proven to help regulate sleep. Muramyl dipeptide, another natural hormone found in urine, mirrors the calming action of serotonin. If wishing to enhance fertility, one could drink urine high in a specific hormonal content.
An important component of urine is urea, a commonly recognized antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral agent. The presence of urea in the urine results from the body’s chemical balancing of the sodium chloride and water ratio. When used on a wound, urea causes an osmotic imbalance inside bacteria and fungi that utlimately kills them. Due to its effectiveness, urea is used in many topical ointments and creams sold pharmaceutically, both prescription and over-the-counter. Urea is found in a broad range of medicines used to treat inflammation and is a main ingredient in Herpigon, a medicine used to treat herpes infections. Additionally, urine can smooth and moisturize the skin. Face creams or wrinkle removers most likely contain urea or a derivative of it. According to John Armstrong’s 1971 book, The Water of Life, expensive and elegant European facial soaps often contain human, cow or pig urine.
Urine therapy is also being used to treat cancer patients. “The Italian surgeon Stanislau R. Burzynski, separated anti-neoplastin from human urine and showed remarkale results in the treatment of cancer,” said B.V. Khare, M.D., a physician from Mumbai, India who advocates urine therapy to his patients. Cancer cells release various antigens, some of which appear in the urine. Oral auto-urotherapy is suggested as a new treatment modality for cancer patients because it provides the intestinal lymphatic system with the many tumor antigens against which antibodies may be produced. These antibodies may infiltrate the blood stream and attack the tumor and its cells.
Another present-day application based upon the theory of uropathy is being practiced in Serono Laboratories in Italy. The labs use the urine of post-menopausal nuns to prepare the pharmaceutical extract Pergonal, in order to stimulate fertility.
Advocates claim that urine is an invaluable source of nourishment and healing that has been too controversial or not financially rewarding enough for it to be encouraged as a potent medicine. However, Dr. Khare insisted that “doctors who were under my treatment showed no signs of aging and insisted that urine therapy should be invited to the general public.”



To give some more hard facts:-

My aunt was suffering from an early stage of blood cancer.She started taking cow's urine and after some time the check ups were done and there were no signs of cancer.Today she is leading a healthy life.

[observer]

Many of those "hot facts" sound like something out of a page of "Encounter with aliens and other true stories".

[megrisoft]

Here, you can find more facts about India :-

* India was one of the richest countries on earth until the British invasion in the early 17th century.

* Chess was invented in India.

* The 'place value system' and the 'decimal system' were developed in 100 BC in India.

* The art of Navigation & Navigating was born in the river Sindh 6000 over years ago. The very word 'Navigation' is derived from the Sanskrit word NAVGATIH. The word navy is also derived from the Sanskrit word 'Nou'.

* Until 1896, India was the only source for diamonds to the world.

'Hindu cosmology's time-scale for the universe is in consonance with modern science'


Hindu cosmology and Modern science


In the Hindu scientific approach, understanding of external reality depends on also understanding the godhead. In all Hindu traditions the Universe is said to precede not only humanity but also the gods. Fundamental to Hindu concepts of time and space is the notion that the external world is a product of the creative play of maya (illusion).

Accordingly the world as we know it is not solid and real but The universe is in constant flux with many levels of reality; the task of the saint is find release (moksha) from the bonds of time and space.

Unlike the West, which lives in a historical world, India is rooted in a timeless universe of eternal return: everything which happens has already done so many times before, though in different guises. Hinduism arose from the discoveries of people who felt that they had gained an insight into the nature of reality through deep meditation and ascetic practices. Science uses a heuristic method that requires objective proof of mathematical theories. Yet both have proposed similar scenarios for the creation of the universe.



Carl sagan on Hindu cosmology

The Carl Sagan, the distinguished Cornell University astronomer and Pulitzer Prize-winning author, who succumbed to his battle against cancer on December 15, in fact lived for millions of years in the relative time scale of experience.

The main reason that we oriented this episode of COSMOS towards INDIA is because of that wonderful aspect of Hindu cosmology which first of all gives a time-scale for the Earth and the universe -- a time-scale which is consonant with that of modern scientific cosmology. We know that the Earth is about 4.6 billion years old, and the cosmos, or at least its present incarnation, is something like 10 or 20 billion years old. The Hindu tradition has a day and night of Brahma in this range, somewhere in the region of 8.4 billion years.




As far as I know. It is the only ancient religious tradition on the Earth which talks about the right time-scale. We want to get across the concept of the right time-scale, and to show that it is not unnatural. In the West, people have the sense that what is natural is for the universe to be a few thousand years old, and that billions is indwelling, and no one can understand it. The Hindu concept is very clear. Here is a great world culture which has always talked about billions of years.




Finally, the many billion year time-scale of Hindu cosmology is not the entire history of the universe, but just the day and night of Brahma, and there is the idea of an infinite cycle of births and deaths and an infinite number of universes, each with its own gods.


"ON TIME AND PLACE: A PHILOSOPHY OF TIME"
by the Rev. Roger Bertschausen
Fox Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship
January 22, 1995

We in the West have long had trouble with time. Early Judaism, Christianity and Islam had no inkling of the long age of the universe. Cosmologies from these religions were based on the notion that the universe started at a finite point in the recent past. St. Augustine set the beginning of the universe at 5000 bce. For centuries, this figure was embraced by most Westerners. (And some continue to believe it.) Additionally, the early Christians also believed that the end of time as we know it was close at hand.


This view of time contrasts sharply with other religious perspectives on the age of the universe. In the Hindu tradition, for example, one day in the life of Brahma lasts 4,300,000,000 years. And Brahma lives for the equivalent of 311,040,000,000,000 human years. The historian of religions Huston Smith reports one way of conceiving of the Hindu time-frame.



Alan Watts, a professor, graduate school dean and research fellow of Harvard University.

"To the philosophers of India, however, Relativity is no new discovery, just as the concept of light years is no matter for astonishment to people used to thinking of time in millions of kalpas, ( A kalpa is about 4,320,000 years). The fact that the wise men of India have not been concerned with technological applications of this knowledge arises from the circumstance that technology is but one of innumerable ways of applying it."


Dick Teresi , author and coauthor of several books about science and technology, including "The God partical"

"Indian cosmologists, the first to estimate the age of the earth at more than 4 billion years. They came closest to modern ideas of atomism, quantum physics, and other current theories. India developed very early, enduring atomist theories of matter. Possibly Greek atomistic thought was influenced by India, via the Persian civilization."



According to Guy Sorman , visiting scholar at Hoover Institution at Stanford and the leader of new liberalism in France:

" Temporal notions in Europe were overturned by an India rooted in eternity. The Bible had been the yardstick for measuring time, but the infinitely vast time cycles of India suggested that the world was much older than anything the Bible spoke of. It seem as if the Indian mind was better prepared for the chronological mutations of Darwinian evolution and astrophysics."



Huston Smith born in China to Methodist missionaries, a philosopher, most eloquent writer, world-famous religion scholar . He has said in Hinduism



“The invisible excludes nothing, the invisible that excludes nothing is the infinite – the soul of India is the infinite.”

“Philosophers tell us that the Indians were the first ones to conceive of a true infinite from which nothing is excluded. The West shied away from this notion. The West likes form, boundaries that distinguish and demarcate. The trouble is that boundaries also imprison – they restrict and confine.”

“India saw this clearly and turned her face to that which has no boundary or whatever.”

“India anchored her soul in the infinite seeing the things of the world as masks of the infinite assumes – there can be no end to these masks, of course. If they express a true infinity.” And It is here that India’s mind boggling variety links up to her infinite soul.”

“India includes so much because her soul being infinite excludes nothing.” It goes without saying that the universe that India saw emerging from the infinite was stupendous.”

"While the West was still thinking, perhaps, of 6,000 years old universe – India was already envisioning ages and eons and galaxies as numerous as the sands of the Ganges. The Universe so vast that modern astronomy slips into its folds without a ripple.”

"Whereas in Western religions a creator god precedes man and the universe, the Hindu gods are preceded by creation; the origin of the world is envisaged not so much as an act of creation but as one of organization, the making of order out of chaos. The universe is often said to be born from the sacred syllable Om, or from an inert void in which " there was neither being nor non-being ... death nor non-death", a single principle from which emerged the diversity of life. From this void desire was born, and from desire came humans, gods and creation."


Einstein writes that "cosmic expansion may be simply a temporary condition which will be followed at some future epoch of cosmic time by a period of contraction. The universe in this picture is a pulsating balloon in which cycles of expansion and contraction succeed each other through eternity."

Astrophysicist Stephen Hawking , writes: "At the big bang itself, the universe is thought to have had zero size, and so to have been infinitely hot . . . The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired."


The Vedas also state that creation is ongoing: what has been in the past is being repeated in the new cycle. Stephen Hawking writes, "Thus, when we see the universe, we are seeing it as it was in the past." It's perhaps enough for the modern mind to know how great is the similarity.

India has one of the most advanced religions on Earth. Hindu religions and and some Buddhism are the only religions science pays attention to.

[India1989]

Yeah thats true. They also pay attention to Jainism. Sikhism originated in India which is one of the world's biggest religion and most prosperous race. But they are all Indian. That's the main catch. India is world's most diverse country.

From India no Muslim joined the Al Qaeda organization. THat shows that how different Indians are from rest of the world even though their religion can be the same as others and stuffs.

India is the best.
Most diverse.
Most advanced

Few years back India's poverty rate was 35% and now it is 26%. THe most drop in the world. This shows that India is improving by leaps and bounds.

[mail_gaurav2000]

India holds an edge over other economies considering the pattern of population distribution amoung various age groups. The proportion of people b/w the age group of 12-30 is greater in india than most other countries. This augurs well for the economy as the working population comprises a larger percentage of the total population :) .

Also, India is now one amongst the Nuclear power states and can have a say in major international summits. It has allied with the US by signing the Nuclear deal and has gained access to clean fuel for it's reactors. This will ensure a regular supply of clean power for domestic use. Although the deal may have come with a lot of strings, it still is a win-win situation for INdia.

[mail_gaurav2000]

Can someone quote the latest data about our economy, like the GDP, the fiscal deficit etc. This would bring out a clear picture of where we stand today.

[sunilkumar]

Gaurav My finance/economic department of my brain is bad
Can you tell me what is GDP & fiscal deficit... once i thought i should marry gal who was economist but thing did'nt work out properly so... now you have to explain me what is GDP and fiscal deficit with example.... :) .. i hope you will help me

[kkeyur]

Yes India is da best and it would have been more than best if there was no corruption in india. Still there are lots of ways india can make itself the bestest country in da world but it can only accomplish when our gov will be improved and honest. Otherwise money is gonna kill them and our country as well

[sunilkumar]

Basic Problem in India is

[1] Population ....& they are also responsible for pollution

[2] Corruption.... in most of department of India. It is from top to bottom. Some people have money which can be used by their seven generation and some don't have money to eat food. Wealth is not properly distributed, Politician and Corporater they all do corruption they are not leader who can lead public they are just.... business minded person who think for themselves... now politician are trying to make new law against sting operation done by news channel which show how politician are corrupt so they want some restriction in Profession of journalism... they want to attack the democracy, thinking of public, to hide their illegal deeds...If Politician are not corrupt then they don't have to think about all this.... can't they be a morally correct?

Politician should be the person who must have some dignity.... they don't have self respect for themselves what they will do for pride of my nation....

I am very small man in comparison to them but I can say I do things for which my countryman, family & friend are proud of me....

If some one is trying to give bribe to politician then they can call police to arrest that person.... Giving bribe is also a crime....

There was sting operation done by News channel they exposed many personality and their dark side... like shakti kapoor, aman verma.... that was also not wrong.... they are people of media they are ideal of many coming generation they must think for betterment of their profession to remove immorality from their profession ....But Truth is if some one want to be Actor or Actress then they must involve themselves in sexual relation with director, producer, senior actor...etc.... this is what film industry …

people like me make Indian Proud
Its me Sunilkumar

[Silverbackman]

India is extremly diverse. India is the most diverse country in the whole world in every way (ethnically, culturally, language, religion, ect.). Rights of women really depends on the region. Some cultures in India are very oppressive to women while others in fact are a bit oppressive to men! Some cultures praise female babies while others they are looked down upon.

It is best you describe the region when you make over-generalizations ;).

[Priyanka]

Yea India is extemly diverse .. but politcian of India are not diverse all have same aim how to come in power & how to make money for themselves...

Hot fact about of India what sunilkumar had posted and which is as below... i agree with it.....

Now politician are trying to make new law against sting operation done by news channel which show how politician are corrupt so they want some restriction in Profession of journalism... they want to attack the democracy, thinking of public, to hide their illegal deeds...If Politician are not corrupt then they don't have to think about all this.... can't they be a morally correct?

[mail_gaurav2000]

I am sorry for the delay. Seems I'm quite late. Anyways, better late than never...

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) One of the main measures of economic activity. 'Gross' indicates that it is calculated without subtracting any allowance for capital consumption; 'domestic' that it measures activities located in the country regardless of their ownership. It thus includes activities carried on in the country by foreign-owned companies, and excludes activities of firms owned by residents but carried on abroad. 'Product' indicates that it measures real output produced rather than output absorbed by residents. GDP is reported at both current and constant prices.



Fiscal Deficit It is the difference between the Revenue Receipts and Total Expenditure.

[India1989]

Also, India is now one amongst the Nuclear power states and can have a say in major international summits. It has allied with the US by signing the Nuclear deal and has gained access to clean fuel for it's reactors. This will ensure a regular supply of clean power for domestic use. Although the deal may have come with a lot of strings, it still is a win-win situation for INdia.

Well INdia was a nuclear power from 1998. They were accepted later.

And now US seems to be taking a u turn on this nuclear issue not giving India its full rights.

India is diverse allright. But things are different in politics.

there's even communism in INdia.

Indian politicians are the reason that INdia is not doing good. If these politicians are good then India will be the best country in the world.

How ever we may criticize… But still India is said to become a super power by the year 2010… So let us be Happy for being a part of such a spectacular nation and realize that what ever we are it has all been provided to us from this mother India…

[India1989]

Actually India is said to be the superpower by 2020. But whatever time it is we are going to be superpower.

REcently our PPP went up. Its now $3.6 trillion.
And as a matter of fact people of one state doesn't understand people of another state in India. They are way different. Its like it is a completely different language.

[star_haris]

hi friends,

I am proud to be a part of this mighty mighty forum......I tried myself many times in search of the stuff related to India.But even google didn't helped me to know the facts n rankings for INDIA.

I am proud to be an INIDIAN before I joined this forum but now am the one who is the "PROUDEST"(don't know whether the word exists or not) to be an INDIAN.

Thanks for the facts and for the group..........JAI HIND

Geeth

[India1989]

We are glad to have one of the proudest Indians in this forum. The facts about India is what makes us proud of India. Those spectacular facts but people outside of India and also living in India doesn't know much about India. That's the sad part.

But hopefully they will soon get to know about it.

[star_haris]

We all should feel proudest to be Indians(not only me :) ).........

Facts referred made us feel how great we are and should try to make our country to take forward in other sectors also.......they made the ppl know abt the unknown things n thanks to all ppl who are giving a vey valuable stuff to us...........

[India1989]

you are welcome and we are all proud to be Indians. DOn't know about others but I am right now the proudest person in the world because i am Indian. I am proud to be Indian. India is a great country and we should all work to make it the best in the world.

[star_haris]

Its my privileage to applaud another proud(est) Indain like me :) .......

I have a small suggestion friends.....If anyone of u have some facts regarding where India is lagging in growth in any way,do let us know.......for example,we know tht we have many probs like over population,corruption, lack of sanitation facilities,several regional factors,etc.....(Hope u understand wat I mean to say)

Jus place some other facts where India is backward so tht we can understand and can help in such issues.......wat do u say???? :confused:

[India1989]

yeah that's a good idea star haris. We can talk about some places where india lacks a lot. The things you mentioned are obviously the factors where India lacks a lot. India also lacks in education. Not many people get access to proper education. India also has a terrorism problem. If India doens't take care of it now then it might hinder India's growth badly.

Another area where India needs to improve really good is AIDS. India has the most number of AIDS cases in the world right now. So India needs to decrease its growth and needs to do something about it. Otherwise this will be a major factor of India's downfall. Cancer should also be prevented.

There's very less unity in India right now. More unity is needed.

[star_haris]

The areas which u mentioned are good but I didn't get how AIDS eradication improves Indian standards???

But wat I feel is first the basic needs are to be justified to poor...then they can think abt the education of their children....am i rite???then every individual should feel atleast a little responsibility towards our country.....

It is really very essential that we need to unite together...even we don't have good relations with the neighbouring states n we say that WE ARE INDIANS N WE CAN DO ANYTHING but the scenario is different.......

Youth only can do anything good ofcourse with the help of senior citizens who have better ideas to implement them.....I am in search of a good grp in making our INDIA strongggggggggggggest.I will help if any one come forward to make my dream true

[India1989]

Well you see that 5 years back India had 2 million AIDS cases and now they have 5.7 million AIDS cases. If this is not controlled then by next 10 years India's gonna have 20 million people affected by AIDS. This will increase and like this if people are not left then who's gonna be there to make India better.

Well wait till i graduate and done my studies then i am all out to Help India.

Yes you are right. Basic needs are needed to be given to the poor. That's were eradicating the poverty comes to mind. Eradicating poverty or in other words if all of the people have decent amount of money then they can have a good life and send their children to school. And yeah we need to unite. We have to help the NE people. They feel isolated. We seriously have to make them feel that we care about them too. Or else if they once start fighting against us we cannot stop them. They are the warriors. Nagas, Gorkhas, Mizos, Khasis, Garos, Manipuris and all these people need to be supported.

and yeah another main important thing. Stop illegal immigration from Bangladesh. I stayed near the border. If you need to know about its problem then ask me. They are the biggest threat. Right now 30 million illegal Bangladeshi immigrants are there in India creating unrest in India. We need to get rid of them.

[star_haris]

Its nice to see have a look at the facts regarding AIDS n thanks for clarifying my doubt.....Well, u r rite tht ppl should be motivated n I feel tht public feels a little uncomfortable as soon as they heard AIDS,am I rite???They feel tht children may get spoiled on knowing abt sex at the small age(may be)....It should be minimized........

Coming to the basic needs n all the things even we think abt car if we have a bike only...its jus a similar case where they thot of having edcn when they have basic needs.......Yeah every one should feel that we have a community n they will be us whenever we need n such community or youth group has to be established in every state n it should be maintained equally throughout the nation,wat do u say????

I love to know more details regarding the illegal immigration of Bangladesh ppl....Till now I didn't knew abt this issue itself....I know a very little that we have a prob with the terrorist grps at the borders of NE states......pls do help me by providing some info related to tht............

[India1989]

K lets start on this. This topic is very complicated. Let me tell you first. There are right now 30 million, can you imagine 30 million Bangladeshi illegal immigrants (not counting refugees and other immigrants) in India. THey populate the NE India. There they cause riots and increase in criminal activities. THe Northeastern people think that they are bengalis and they are killing us. Normal people are becoming a minority in their place just because of Bangladeshis.

Then what happens is that after the Indian people in NE are killed in the name of ethnicity issue by Bangladeshis this people start revolting against India. They have already done many times and wants to be a separate country.

Now Bangladeshis has themselves fromed 9 terrorist groups and frequently strike NE India. They rape womens over there and do human rights violation and blame it on Indian army. Now guess what India has to face.

Now whenever the Indian army isn't there the Bangladeshi army attacks INdian villages and takes over them and torture Indians. I will give you one such example of this attack.

Now one day the Bangladeshi army kidnapped 2 Indian villagers. This drew 5 Indian army officers to the other side of the border who went there to simply withdraw the Indians. Now when they went there there were 500 Bangladeshi civilians. Indian army couldn't fire at civilians as per order. So the civilians beat the army people and handed them over to Bangladeshi army. Then they cut their heads and genitals and returned them to the Indian side saying that India should fear Bangladesh.

Then they killed those two villagers.

They started building a border inside our territory and when Indian army went to do something they started firing at us. Thus right now the Indo bangladesh border fencing is 10 kilometers Indian territory living 5000 Indian villages outside of India which are attacked everyday by Bangladeshis and are looted.

On the other hand the fencing should be in the noman's land which is 500 meters away from India. Can you imagine 10 kms inside Indian territory.

Now i will tell you an incident with prove in my next post.

[India1989]

Indo-Bangladesh Border Clashes, 2001

Given this background, there has been little need for alertness on the part of India's BSF. This fact was fully utilised by the BDR in April this year. On the evening of April 15,2001, about a dozen men of the Bangladesh Rifles came to Pyrdiwah village in the East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya and threatened the villagers to leave as the land belonged to Bangladesh. The villagers ran to the nearest BSF outpost located about 1 km away and requested the BSF to come and help them. It may be pointed out that both the village and outpost of Pyrdiwah are located in a small stretch of 320 acres, which have been in the adverse possession of India for over 40 years. The BSF did not respond but assured the villagers that they were capable of meeting any problem. Later the same night, the BDR entered the Indian village in strength, chased away the villagers, surrounded the BSF outpost on all sides and started digging trenches and fortifications around it. On the morning of April 16, the BSF outpost which was held by one platoon (of approximately 30 men) found itself surrounded by six companies (approximately 100 men each) of the BDR. The platoon commander enquired from the BDR commander the reasons for this intrusion but was told that the area being occupied by the BSF was Paduah (the Bangladeshi name for Pyrdiwah) and was a part of Bangladesh. The BSF was asked to withdraw behind the international border, which they refused, saying that they had been holding this post since 1971 and would not withdraw. In the meanwhile, the BDR had constructed trenches around the BSF post and used the corrugated iron sheets of the village school roof to construct overhead protection. The villagers of Pyrdiwah in the meanwhile fled to the neighbouring hills and took shelter temporarily in neighbouring villages.

The attack by the BDR was so well planned that on April 16 when the attack on Pyrdiwah took place, no senior BSF officer was available at Shillong, the sector headquarters. The senior BSF officers were all busy in law and order and anti-insurgency duties in another state. 14 Pyrdiwah village is about 92 km southeast of Shillong and only five km from Dawki, where various security and intelligence organisations have a significant presence. Needless to say, there was no advance intelligence about the impending attack from any of them. Later, it was confirmed that the BDR from Partapur as well as the Bangladesh Army from Muktapur were mobilised for this attack and advance intelligence should have been easily available. The local BSF officer at Shillong requested the Meghalaya police for help by providing armoured bullet-proof trucks as well as bullet-proof jackets. However, the BSF only asked for three armoured vehicles and 10 bullet-proof jackets which would have been woefully inadequate in case of any attack. The whole of April 16 and 17 was spent by the BSF trying to mobilise additional forces to break the siege of their border outpost at Pyrdiwah.

Meanwhile, the villagers of Pyrdiwah, led by their headman, visited Shillong on the evening of April 16 and apprised the state chief minister about their plight. The next morning, the state home minister accompanied by the inspector general of police (IGP), and other senior officers visited the site. They could not proceed to Pyrdiwah village or the BSF outpost as the village was under the occupation of the BDR and the outpost was surrounded by the BDR. However, they spoke to the villagers at a place nearly four km away where they had taken shelter, distributed some relief and ascertained the facts. 15 On their return to Shillong the same evening, the chief minister was apprised of these serious developments. Despite several attempts, the Meghalaya chief minister was able to speak to the union home minister only after considerable bureaucratic delay. Finally, when the chief minister explained to the union home minister the seriousness of the developments and the inadequate response of the BSF, the home minister was amazed, as this was the very first time that he had heard of these developments from any source. A detailed fax message was also sent to him the same night by the chief minister asking the BSF to take appropriate action so that the life and property of the Indian citizens was safeguarded.

According to media reports, 16 on April 18, the BSF launched a "counter-attack" or resorted to "aggressive patrolling" (depending on the point of view) near Boraibari, a small enclave in Bangladesh's adverse possession in the Mankachar sector of Assam's Dhubri district, more than 200 km to the west of Pyrdiwah. Apparently, the BSF thought that by capturing the enclave in the adverse possession of Bangladesh, they would be able to neutralise the advantage gained by the BDR at Pyrdiwah. However, the attack was poorly planned and implemented as a result of which the BSF party, which was numerically small, was surrounded and lynched by a mob of Bangladeshi villagers who were backed by the BDR. As a result, 16 of the BSF men were killed, two injured and captured, while the others managed to scramble back to safety in India.

Following this fiasco, diplomatic pressure was brought to bear upon Bangladesh, and following a flag meeting on April 19, the BDR agreed to withdraw from Pyrdiwah and go back to the situation that existed before April 15, 2001. However, even in this flag meeting, the BDR insisted that a village footpath constructed by some villagers nearly 10 km away from Pyrdiwah at Lynkhat village should be dismantled before they would withdraw. The BSF, accordingly, destroyed this footpath which had been recently repaired with government assistance and was well inside Indian territory before the BDR withdrew later the same evening.

The chief minister of Meghalaya visited Pyrdiwah on April 21 and spoke to the BSF officers and the local villagers. The BSF officers claimed that they had been able to break the siege of Pyrdiwah by using the three armoured trucks given by the Meghalaya police. The BDR had been taken by surprise and did not have the weapons to face such armoured vehicles and so had no option but to withdraw. They also alleged that the local villagers had helped the BDR by digging trenches, etc. This was strongly denied by the local headman who pointed out that the villagers had been forced to flee from their homes on April 15/16 night itself, and on their return on April 20, had found their houses ransacked and all their livestock, chickens, etc looted by the BDR. Even the local church had been desecrated and slogans in favour of the BDR and Bangladesh National Party had been painted inside it. The statue of Christ had also been removed. 17 The chief minister himself pointed out that the village consisted of 69 families all of whom were either Adivasis or Khasis and staunchly loyal to India. They had suffered considerable loss at the hands of the Bangladeshis and there was no reason for them to support Bangladesh.

The state government has expressed its misgivings about the way the situation was handled by the BSF 18 and the apparent lack of trust between the villagers and the BSF. The BSF officers also were not forthcoming with any information from April 15 till April 19, about the situation on the border, claiming that they were answerable only to the central government. Later, when the central team led by the minister of state for home affairs visited Shillong, the state government demanded that it should also have a role in protecting the border. In case this was not possible, then local youth should be recruited into the BSF to improve relations between it and the local people.

a look at what they did to an Indian army

http://im.rediff.com/news/2005/dec/08bang2.jpg
Those are Bangladeshi civilians carrying them.

I will find some more for u. This is nothing. They have done worse.

AND RIGHT NOW THEY ARE OCCUPYING 530 ACRES OF OUR LAND WHICH IS A VILLAGE. INDIAN ARMY HAS STILL NOT RESORT TO ACTION YET.

[star_haris]

First of all let me appreciate for the patience n commitment to educate me on this problem......I went through the 2 post made by u.....I think it's obvious to get some doubts when read the whoel thing.........rite???

Does all the immigrant Bangladeshi's are terrorists and are there any normal civilians came to our country to survive???What the Police and Military of India doing when 10kms of land had been occupied???I know tht these dirty politicians can't do anything,but wat abt the BSF???Without their prior knowledge,how can the immigrants occupy 10kms????

Recruiting local youth might be very helpful in solving the problem..... Pls do calrify the ques mentioned above.......

[India1989]

Yea i know its obvious that you get some doubts.

Does all the immigrant Bangladeshi's are terrorists and are there any normal civilians came to our country to survive???What the Police and Military of India doing when 10kms of land had been occupied???

K there are so many Bangladeshi immigrants in our country. If they were legal then one would not blame them so much. But all of them are illegal. Now the question you asked is a question asked by many. First of all 20 million cradelled in North east. Many come here and don't get job. Almost one-fourth of htem you can say. Now the blast which happened in Mumbai police caught 5 or 6 suspects and all of them Bangladeshis.

Next they all contribute to the problems. In North east they creat problems and make the native of those states minority in their own place. These natives are already a minority in India and many people don't know about their existence. They don't have any grudge against it. But when Bangladeshis came they outnumbered them in their own state. Now these people indulge in criminal activities and also create riots and kill innocent native people. They in the name of Indian bengalis kill them. Now these people who are native to that place thinks that Indians are doing this and now if any Indian bengalis go over there they kill them. Now this is a major problem and now the Bangladehis instill a separatist ideas in them. So now many states want to be a separate country. Indian police can't do anything. what will Indian police do. 20 million against how many police. Once the Indian police rounded up so many Bangladeshis and tried to push them into Bangladesh but suddenly the Bangladesh army started firing and killed all the police.

Then the Bangladeshis said that Indians are violating human rights and trying to get rid of their own Indian muslims.

Indian military is busy in western and Chinese border. If you look carefully India has a huge border with China about more then 3000 km and more then 2000 km with Pakistan and more then 1000 km with Myanmmar who often causes trouble.

India shares 4500 km border with Bangladesh. India cannot control all of them at once. So now they build the fence when india army wasn't present. They killed Indian farmers. Now even if India attacks Bangladesh China will intervene which will in turn bring pak into war against India. India is internationally blocked. But few days back after problems wtih China ceased a little Indian army is completely bordering Bangladesh and vacated the village. India army says that it is a war like situation. There can be war at any time. But indian army cannot do anything without permission from govt.

I know tht these dirty politicians can't do anything,but wat abt the BSF???Without their prior knowledge,how can the immigrants occupy 10kms????

The politicians are corrupt. They want to vote of these 20 million illegal immigrants thus they support them. IF BSF goes to do anything the politicians either fire the BSF officers or stop them from doing anything.

i hope these clears some problems. If any questions ask me again.

[observer]

See, there is a problem with the unchecked influx of Bangladeshis into India, the vast majority of whom come to seek a livelihood in a country that offers them mroe opportunities, but among them common criminals and religious terrorists sneak in too. Now these undesirable elements cause mischief all over India and they might be causing a lot of troubles in N-E states but I haven't heard anywhere that all problems and separatist tendnecies in N-E states can be attributed to Bangladeshis only. There are many factors contributing to the conflicts there. Also the Indian secrurity forces do act rather harshly in such places on occassions which creates a great uproar there given their grievances already.

About the fencing that's being carried out by India at the India-Bangladesh border, it is deliberately being done so by India 10 km. within Indian territory owing to Bangladeshi misgivings about creation of any military structures at the border and the non settlement of some border areas between India and Bangladesh. That in my opinion, is again India acting foolishly wanting to accomodate just about everyone's concerns other than its own concerns. 10 km is putting the fence too deep inside India's territory and as india1989 mentioned some Indian villagers have been left on the other side of the fence facing harassment from the Bangladeshis.

Instead India should tell Bangladesh to settle the little bit border issues that are there in a reasonable (read short) time-frame otherwise India will go ahead and build the fence at what it decides is the border. It should make clear that either way a fence will be built because the Bangladeshi insistence that the fence is a military structure and endangers Bangladesh's security is absurd. It's obviously to protect Indian soil and the saying "Good fences make good neighbours" holds very true.

[India1989]

Actually India would never contruct the fencing 10 km inside the territory. It was Bangladeshi army which constructs this and they do this inside Indian territory. There is exchange of fire almost everyday.

Well everyone contributes to the problem. THey create more poverty rate and thus already a population of 1.1 billion has to share its resources with 20 million more. They elect corrupt govt which will allow more Bangladeshis to come in here and create more trouble.

Smuggling goods and stuffs yeah if not every one then atleast 70% of them. Generally i get news everyday. Many news cannot be covered by newspaper but ask the people who are actually living there. Ask them what their condition is.

They will give you the real answer. Live there. If you don't obey the Bangladeshis then they will drag you out of the house. A huge mob of them i mean and will slaughter you just like they did to that BSF officer. Picture provided and article given too. THey are the same bangladehiss. All of them are the same.

India is the world's largest democracy.

you've been fooled, Democracy is richman's game, ask urself or everyone around you if it has worked for india or against it.

[observer]

Poor people in India have faced non-democracy for two years. They were dragged like dogs and sterilized so the next chance they got they kicked out the dictator. Anything other than democracy is the dream of the privileged few to rule over the masses. Admit it.

india1989 dude, the border fence is being erected by the BSF not the Bangladeshi forces. It's erecting similar fencing in Kashmir too.

[SLASH]

India is the world's largest democracy.

you've been fooled, Democracy is richman's game, ask urself or everyone around you if it has worked for india or against it.

I think you are confused between capitalism and Democracy.Democracy has nothing to do with rich and poor :confused:. India has always been pro poor/pro socialism and our present government is also pro poor.

I think you are confused between capitalism and Democracy.Democracy has nothing to do with rich and poor :confused:. India has always been pro poor/pro socialism and our present government is also pro poor.

Yes, I think you maybe right, but my last statement still hold true.

[SLASH]

Yes, I think you maybe right, but my last statement still hold true.

No it doesn't.India has come a long way from what it was in 1947.When brits left India there were only two classes 5% rich and 95% poor.How has democracy failed India???How can choosing your representative in the government be bad for the citizens???How come all the prosperous countries have democracies???
I ask you if not democracy what sought of governance would be right for India?

[India1989]

Yes, I think you maybe right, but my last statement still hold true.

Just admit it ipodslave. Democracy has rather helped India. What about unions which the poor people form and all the company owners have to agree to their requests.

India brought down their poverty rate from 80% in 1947 to 25% now. DOn't go around blaming.

And observer about the fencing. Try going deep into the matter.

K i agree that the fencing was constructed by BSF. K. But why? Why did no one stop them. BSF doesn't have the right to do anything they want. They did that because Bangladesh was preventing them from building a fence near the border. I can't find the article now because newspaper keeps on updating but it was done because Bangladesh was continuously firing if constructors try to build the fence near the border.

But they still have to build a fence because militants can easily enter otherwise.

They had no other choice.

And star _ haris this document is for you. This is from a newspaper and this thing updates quick so look into the article fast or else there will be page cannot be displayed.

[star_haris]

Hi Soumo,

I have gone thru the link provided by u.....it seems to me tht u r rite and there's a belligerent atmosphere over there.....

These BSF officers are waiting for their High-Command orders by then all the devastating things can be accomplished by Bangladeshis.....We need a Democractic and at the same time "Win with War/Crush the one who slaps u" kind of thing inorder to survive,am i rite????

I don't have any idea of the geographical conditions over there but I can estimate the severity......I do think tht waiting for the orders doesn't sounds good as the damage has already done.....

[observer]

india1989, yep even Pakistani soldiers used to fire at the BSF while building the fence in Kashmir. That way it is silly to care about Bangladeshi fire and build the fence 10 km deep into Indian territory. Our politicians are subverting our country being virtually hands in gloves with Bangladesh on this :(

[India1989]

hey observer i respect your opinion but i think underestimating the Bangladeshis is not a good thing. THey have killed many of our soldiers.

Hey starharis. I agree with you that we should not wait for commands but we are civilized people. There's a difference between us and them. So we have to wait. We have been taught to obey the orders.

The atmosphere is very bad there.

The geographical condition is very bad. That place is full of swamps, jungles, and rivers. Its crazy. Even i can't describe that area. Its complete crazy. You can think that some places are like the places near Amazon river.

There are lots of pits and bogs over there. bad condition.

[star_haris]

u r right Mr.India1989, we r different from others but we can't keep quite unitll all the land is captured by them......

may be u r rite tht most of the places represents areas around Amazon but we can't leave it like tht,rite???

Do u have any idea in making the things rite....I mean to avoid such illegal immigrants,capturing land,...... apart from being silent???

[India1989]

I agree with you too. Infact i believe that we should never be quiet in this matter. But preventing this illegal immigration is hard. First we need uncorrupt people. then even with that its hard.

USA still cannot prevent illegal mexican immigration so its hard. If India fully concentrates on Bangladesh and this problem. Then probably they can send 20% of the Bangladeshis back in 3 years and 80% will stay on forever. THese are the ones who has already immigrated. But with extreme measures they can only stop 75% of this illegal immigration. Of the 25% who comes in then they can send only 20% back of them. So 5% Bangladeshis will come to India illegaly every year for sure.

5% means 100,000 new Bangladeshi illegal immigrants every year. And 80% means 20 million staying back.

But this is if India completely focuses on the Bangladeshi border. This way they will achieve 100% success in preventing terrorism activities on this side.

But India then cannot concentrate on other vulnerable areas like the Pakistan border, Myanmarese border, Sri Lankan border areas and Nepal border. From here also illegal immigration happens and from some of them terrorist comes in.

So its hard you know. Then India also has to manage the border with Indonesia in Andaman islands and also with China.

[star_haris]

Its ok.....I can understand the intensity of the problem.....

But the case is same as u said for a few years......there should be ppl/youth who should strive hard so tht atleast 1% of the immigrants cannot cross the border..........

lets hope for better days..........

It is indeed good to review the achievements of the ancient India, Certainly, Indian culture has given a lot of things and concepts to the world. No doubt, we should remember all these things and feel proud about them.

But, as of present times I feel sorry to say that we have not been able to achieve the position in the world which was achieved by ancient indians. It is not that there are not improvements in the general life, but the effect of the improvement is somewhere marred by the population growth, poverty, illiteracy etc. Untill we do not remove these problems the rate of growth has no meaning. If we are not able to remove illiteracy, poverty it also means that the benefit of growth is not going to the people who are suffering from these problems.

Any way influx of illegal migrants from Bangladesh is an serious problem.

[Young Do]

The same thing happened in China, Both India and China had their mysterious culture, glorious reputation, long history. Because of other countries' invasion, they lost their brilliance. Their are great, I must admit. And we should see the recent situation, we face many difficult: disater, starvation, poverty, high-population etc. We can not creat the strategies to lead the way, but all the thing we can do is to love our country, try best to improve our life condition, help those who need us~~~

India has "enormous potential in all its property investment categories". Strong population growth, a large pool of qualified workers, greater integration with the world economy and increasing domestic and foreign investment are fuelling demand for office, retail and residential property. India’s burgeoning middle class will drive up nominal retail sales through 2010 by 10% p.a. At the same time, organised retail is becoming more important. At present organised retail accounts for a mere 3% of the total; by 2010 this share will already have reached 10%.India is the prime destination for IT services outsourcing. In the coming five years, at least 55 million m² of extra office space must be completed in the premium office segment alone. Property investments in India are not risk-free. Market transparency is far behind European or US standards. It is therefore vital for foreign investors to have a professional local partner. The lack of liquidity and upward pressure of pricing remain the main concern within the market.For more view- realtydigest.blogspot.com
