Incredible India 37 – Gimme a State, Else I Fast

Folks, here comes the 37th instalment of your favorite Incredible India.

Suvars. Pigs.

We will never forgive the Telangana baboons. Never ever.

Guys, here we were, all sexcited to watch our first Ileana D’Cruz movie (Saleem) today and that nut-case Telangana politician Kalvakuntla Chandrashekar Rao and our Italian grandma Sonia Gandhi had to throw a spanner in the works.

Bottom line, shows of Ileana’s Saleem are cancelled. πŸ™

Fasting Slowing Down India
To the countless problems plaguing India add the frequent practice of our two-legged, red-bottomed monkeys threatening or launching a fast-unto-death.

LTTE, Telangana, Ayodhya, Cauvery, Ram, Kashmir Pandits, small dick, Abhishek Bachchan, Marathi, anti-Hindi et al.

You see, no issue is too small for our Indian netas to launch a fast unto death until some idiot ‘forces’ the leader to break the fast with a glass of orange juice.

God, how we wished the Tamil Loose-Paiya Karunanidhi would kick the bucket when he launched his indefinite fast in April. Alas, the rat’s fast lasted a mere six hours and the frail gorilla and his minions continue to torment us.

We’re sick of this fasting drama that holds the nation of 1.2 billion mosquitoes hostage to the comic antics of a few flies.

Although this fasting tamasha is not restricted to any one state, we see this nonsense more often in South India. Must be something in the avakkai pickle and the myre-sadam these southern denizens consume in prodigious quantities.

Guess, we have to blame the Mahatma for giving credibility to this unsavory political tool.

Latest Tamasha
The latest fast-drama is Telangana, i.e. the fast-unto-death of a chimp called Kalvakuntla Chandrashekar Rao a.k.a. KCR demanding the creation of a separate Telangana state (the white portions on the map represent Telengana).

The roots of this Telangana nonsense dates back to the 1950s when the Telugu-speaking northern districts of the Madras state wereΒ  merged with the Telangana region of Hyderabad State to form the united Andhra Pradesh state (Source: Wiki).

Since then, the Telangana demand for a separate state has flared up now and then with sporadic violence until this KCR fella launched an indefinite hunger strike, leading the weak pussies in Delhi to cave in.

Unhealthy Precedent
Now that Italy oops Sonia Gandhi has conceded the demands for Telangana you can be sure there will be other clowns coming out of the woodwork asking for their own mini-states.

Besides the obvious danger of balkanization, there is the issue of enormous cost.

Setting up a new administrative division of the size of a state surely costs several hundred crore, money that could be poured into development schemes and keep the Naxalites at bay.

Let K Chandrashekar Rao Die
We are strongly against the formation of Telangana.

Let KCR launch another fast-unto-death.

Once KCR dies, we can erect a statue for the bozo at RTC Cross Roads in Hyderabad, pick up a few old garlands from the cremation ground and throw em’ around the statue’s neck.

That would be a cheaper alternative to the separate Telangana state nonsense.

After all, if it’s Telangana today can Rayalaseema be far behind tomorrow. Not to forget the bad precedent it’ll set for groups in other states.

*******************************

* Grave Injustice in Tamil Nadu
Cry, Schmucks.

Weep your hearts out after reading this excerpt:

All the 17 accused for burning three employees of the Tamil daily Dinakaran in the Madurai office in May 2007 have been set free by a Tamil Nadu court as the key witnesses turned hostile.

The accused were acquitted by the principal district sessions court on Wednesday.

….Vinoth, Gopi and Muthupandi died when the Dinakaran office was burnt. The incident was recorded on video by several news channels.

*******************************

*India Turns to Soft-Wear Exports
Is it really surprising that the country that made a name in exporting software should now seek new opportunities in soft-wear exports.

No comprende?

By soft-wear, we mean these soft-spoken, soft-thighed little birds of the night.

Common Sight
Back in the ol’ days, when we use to haunt the mean streets of some of India’s big cities we’d often run into the adorable little birds of the night (around Walltax Road, and on a side road near Egmore station, both in Madras; Richmond Circle and on St.Mark’s Road in Bangalore; outside the Dadar Station in Mumbai; Sayaji Rao Road and Dhanvantri Road in Mysore et al) .

Sure, some of these sweet streetwalkers have gotten themselves a fancy name now – Escorts.

But What’s in a name, as the bard would say.

That which we call a slut, by any other name would still spread her legs wide (did Shakespeare really write that?)

Life’s a Bitch
Our position on hookers is that life is a bitch for these women, many of whom are forced into the oldest profession by unsavory elements and sometimes even family members.

But we live in a cruel, callous world. And these women gotta eat too.

Meanwhile, some enterprising pimps seeing an opportunity began exporting our dear Indian bitches to the overseas market in the 1980s and 1990s.

First, the cutie-pies were packed off to the Middle East to service the Sheikhs and lesser Arabs.

Now, as the Middle East collapses under the weight of its excesses and the global recession these Indian Randis (hookers) are being exported to a new market closer to home – Nepal.

Think we’re making this up.

Here read this excerpt from MidDay:

What comes around, goes around. For decades, Nepal has been fuelling the Indian sex bazaar with thousands of Nepalese girls being trafficked from the impoverished erstwhile Himalayan Kingdom to the bustling red light areas across the porous Indo-Nepal border.

But, Kathmandu is fast turning the tables now, courtesy some ‘enterprising’ men from India who are feeding the frenzy for Indian girls in Nepal.

The Nepal police have busted a huge racket involving a man from New Delhi who was supplying prostitutes to some high-profile hotels in Kathmandu. They say the reverse trend has peaked to its highest.

….”In the past couple of months, we have seen a comprehensive client demand from Nepal. As they are ready to dole out good money, our girls are ready to go there. There are no visa problems, and airfare comes cheap, too,” said Vicky Jain of Escorts from Night.

Mera Bharat Mahaan.

    Well, you and I who don’t live there can make statements like “Let KCR die”. There is a deteriorating law and order situation in the region, which would have turned into rioting.

    So 1000 people dies. So what? Again since those aren’t anyone we care about, easy to say. Naxals would have grown deeper roots too.

    The real problem, as far as I can make out, is sharing Hyderabad. The best bet is some kind of special status.

    I heard some guy has started a fast-unto-death for Gorkhaland.

    You write: There is a deteriorating law and order situation in the region, which would have turned into rioting.

    Once you open the Pandora’s Box of balkanization, there’s no saying what horrors await you.

    As it is, India is a fragile, young democracy with Hindu-Muslim, North-South, Marathi-Hindi, Backward Caste-Scheduled Caste, Hindu-Sikh, Hindu-Christian and a myriad other fault lines.

    We don’t want to expand the fault lines, do we.

    So each time a whacko with a grievance (real or imagined) launches a hunger strike, do we appease him/her/it because we’re scared of the law and order situation?

    The Hunger Strike nonsense is the worst thing that Gandhi bequeathed to us.

    At least in the Mahatma’s case, he was probably honest in his intentions. The present-day practitioners of hunger-strikes are mostly self-serving rogues.

    First of all, it’s laughable that The Ruling Party despite having a comfortable Majority at the Assembly (Congress has 155 MLAs out of 294.),is bowing down to the whims of a non-Entity whose party has not won even 10 MLA seats (Of 116 Assembly seats in Telangana.) and just a couple of Parliamentary seats(Of 16).

    And following the death of YSR,some senior Congress leaders (Who got sidelined under late YSR’s reign) of telangana are trying to take advantage of this situation to gain mileage from this issue and trying to influence Sonia ‘Madam’ at Delhi. It’s become a Complicated situation now that some other People in the background (These leaders mentioned and some Naxalite sympathizers) are trying to use KCR’s fast and these O.U students (Mostly these M.Sc political science students) as pawns in the Game of Chess to fulfill their own Ambitions.

    (You see KCR,being a drunkard,was unable to continue fast and tried to take a glass on 2nd day itself and immediately these protesters burnt his effigies,which forced him to continue the fast.:P The fact is he knows that with the strength his party cadre has,he cannot achieve much in reality.)

    1. It’s still early days in this nonsense.

    We still have ahead of us four bandhs in seven cities, three firings, 12 deaths, 37 injured, CRPF deployment, change in leadership, change in collector, change in police chief, High Command visit to the state, Home Minister’s assessment of law & order, appeals for peace, fight over capital…..

    This drama will entertain the masses for a while.

    2. You write: it’s laughable that The Ruling Party despite having a comfortable Majority at the Assembly ….

    We are increasingly coming around to the view that in Manmohan Singh’s family, our heroine Amrit Singh took all the balls in the parivar leaving the old sardar with only a kachcha.

  5. sganeshkumar1989   December 11, 2009 at 12:11 am

    Regarding the previous Struggles,it’s indeed true that several lakhs of Students,Peasants and other common men participated in that Mass Movement of 1969.And even the then Separatist Party won 11 of the 14 seats of the Region.(Later they all defected to Indira”s Congress in 1971.)

    But,in this case,hardly a few Hundreds of Students belonging to a couple of Universities in Hyd. and Warangal resorted to Rowdyism (The most easiest way to catch Attention is to attack the RTC Buses and common men’s Vehicles),under the influence of some Naxal sympathisers and our Government could not handle it and falls at its feet!:( Rofl!)

    May I know if the people of Telangana indeed demand a Separate state,then why TRS could hardly bag a good number of seats in 2004 (Congress won a landslide 80% of seats,while TRS won 50% of seats contested in alliance with Congress) and 2009 elections(Could hardly bag 10 seats)?And in other Local Elections or MLA/MP By-elections,where it contested alone,it couldn’t even retain Deposits on many occasions!

    And it’s high time,the Media learn to show restraint and stop making a fuss out of non-issues!What was actually restricted to just a couple of towns was portrayed as if the entire Area has been on fire and every one there have come out in support of them.And,they’re not even caring to calm down the speakers in the debate nor advising them to stop making Provocative or Violent statements.(All for TRP ratings.Shitt)

    Good points.

    We think the central leadership panicked out of fear over the fallout of KCR’s possible death.

    Now,In Rayalaseema and Coastal Andhra,however;the Pro-Samaikhyandhra Pradesh supporters seemed to be more serious and turned it in much larger numbers than these ‘Separatist cadre’ in Telangana. Almost,every town’s Leaders and Students taking part in the Protest and are making more Stronger Statements.

    If only that KCR was allowed to go and fast in his hometown (Like in the past,he might have fasted for 2 days and then says he received a call of assurance from some Sharad Pawar or Ajith Singh and calls off the fast.)

    But,thanks to the arrest and his so-called ‘continuation of fast’ in NIMS,he got converted into a hero and things have taken a violent turn now. (I don’t want him to die now,else the loafer will become a Martyr πŸ™ )

    Even now,all is not over;just send him a Couple of Scotch Bottles,he’ll keep his mouth shut.Lol

    To even imagine that some Students fell into the prey of these Politically unemployed Creatures,carried away by Emotions and their fake speeches of Patriotism!:(:(

    SearchIndia.com Responds:

    Students need to be treated with a firm hand.

    History has shown that if the police/para-military/military forces are with the government, students can’t accomplish much other than sporadic, stray incidents of violence.

    They can be crushed. Look at China, Iran, Venezuela et al.

    But the central and most state governments in India are effete and easily cave in to the demands of any one who makes some noise.

    –Out of these ten listed, certainly nine are, more or less the problems Indians in India had/have to face.

I can imagine how awful you must ‘ve felt living with Caucasian/Mexican neighbours. Every morning , every day, in fact every time you talk to a Caucasian male, you must’ve fumbled your lines as your subconsciously comparing his and yours.And talking to females, less said the better.

    The demand for Telangana seemed appropriate in 1960s, but I am not sure how relevant it is today (If I am wrong, kindly correct me).

    Separating Telangana from Andhra will cost the state several thousand crores and it will only bring in factionalism and petty politics, nobody except corrupt politicians will benefit.

    I don’t wanna comment further, I am already aghast against Manmohan Singh for not looking into very needy issues like the growing prices of vegetables, Naxalism, etc, but now his party is just concentrating on providing autonomy to states that do not exist, pathetic!!!!!! Seriously pathetic!

    From where the f did students get in to this movement, i don’t understand. Students are supposed to work hard, go to US πŸ˜‰ or do an out sourcing job πŸ˜‰ – but they are not in any circumstances, allowed to do vandalism – esp. burning buses. These stupid ass holes believe that if they have a match box and a bottle of petrol they could burn buses.

    I hope buses possess life. If they had life, they would follow the ones who burned their friends and would crushed them under their tyres so that the burners heads explode scattering all the blood and brain particles on their front glass panes.

    After that, the other buses would blow horns and make screams filled with joy. A Revenge indeed, for burning their innocent friend who helped people by transporting them.

    I’m not sure why you brought in Kashmir Pandits to this discussion on fasting. There is no evidence of any major leaders fasting for the Pandits. In reality they are the one of the most suffering minorities. Kicked out of their own state by an Islamic purge, they are largely refugees in their own country and ignored by their own Government.

    Centre has taught this mantra to the uneducated tards – “If I do not get a seat of power, I will fast (or do some thing stupid) and get a new state”.

    So here are some more states that might happen:

    1. Harit Pradesh from UP

    2. Gorkhaland from Assam

    3. Bundhelkhand from UP (again)

    The other states will soon follow suit. New states can be named as:

    1. Navnirman Pradesh – where MNS can be cordoned and talk idiotically

    2. Naxalistan – for the rebels whow want to break away from telengana and the other such areas

    3. Amma desam – For our beloved Dr. JJ

    4. Laloo Land – For laloo and his family

    5. URMK – United Relations of Mu Karunanidhi

    – state funded schools will be even more handicapped. their already chaotic procedures to obtain grants will be even more chaotic.
    – students in state matriculation have to wait for new syllabus. there will be tremendous confusion among parents to decide if their children has to be put in a CBSE/ISC to avoid problems.

    The whole threat via fasting is a means of non-violent protest which was brought to prominence by Gandhiji to counter the British strategy of putting down other forms of protest. It is a civilized form of getting your opinions across. Would you rather prefer that the proponents of Telengana follow the Naxalite way of asking for a state?

    The problem is with the inability of the Government to counter the hysteria created by the idiots doing the fasting.

    What other non-violent avenue would you recommend for the Kashmiri Pandits to get their basic human rights of living in safety in their own state?

    SearchIndia.com Responds:

    (from somewhere on the New Jersey Turnpike)

    1. You write: Would you rather prefer that the proponents of Telengana follow the Naxalite way of asking for a state?

    Yes, it’d been good if the proponents of Telangana had taken to the Naxalite/violent path, then we could have at least tried to crush them using the security/paramilitary forces.

    Right now we just caved in to the demand of some nut case, a decision that’ll haunt us via copycats in other states.

    2. The tragedy of the Kashmiri Pandits was because of the failure of the Indian state to protect the minorities. They were abandoned to the wolves.
