When Priya Ranjan
Dasmunsi was sold a lemon
-
Virendra Kapoor, Afternoon Despatch
& Courier, August 31, 2001
Poor Priya Ranjan Dasmunsi! The
Congress Party member of the Lok Sabha from Raiganj in West Bengal was
sold a lemon allegedly by a fellow MP, albeit a member of the Rajya Sabha.
And Dasmunsi believing the said lemon to be a genuine article, triumphantly
brandished the same in the House. ......

'Pak wants jehadi
belt around India'

PTI, August 31, 2001
Pakistan plans to encircle India
with a jehadi belt and destabilise peace in Central Asia, a top field comander
of Afghanistan's Northern Alliance has claimed. ......

Growth of a religious
outfit has cops worried
-
The Hindustan Times, August 31,
2001
Like many other fundamentalist
outfits, the National Democratic Front (NDF) surfaced in the aftermath
of the Babri masjid demolition. Many religious outfits, including Madhani's
Islamic Sewa Sangh (since banned), had come under a common platform to
launch a religious organization. ......

Armed forces need
amnesty

Prakash Singh, The Hindustan Times,
August 31, 2001
The Home Minister's announcement
that the Centre was considering relief to personnel of the armed forces
within the ambit of the Constitution for their fight against terrorism,
caused a flutter among the pseudo-human rights activists of the country.

P. V. Indiresan, The Hindu, August
31, 2001
There IS much excitement about
the U.N. conference on racial discrimination. Many Dalit activists are
chagrined at the refusal of the Government of India to concede that caste
discrimination too is a form of racial discrimination. In the United States,
it is accepted that the Whites, the Blacks, the Red Indians, and the like
belong to different races. ......

Fight caste in Delhi,
not Durban
-
Rajinder Sachar, The Pioneer, August
31, 2001
We have witnessed a series of seminars
and consultations, not with a view to draw up a programme how to eradicate
discrimination against Dalits but whether caste discrimination should be
included as an item of agenda of discussion at the World Conference against
Racism, Racial Discrimination and Related Intolerance (WCAR) being held
at Durban. I find this an exercise in futility. ......

activists' plea

M. S. Prabhakara, The Hindu, August
31, 2001
The United Nations Secretary-General,
Mr. Kofi Annan, today declined to respond to the demand from the Dalit
activists that the issues of caste and untouchability should find a place
on the agenda of the World Conference Against Racism, opening here tomorrow.

Pakistan's Cruel
Blasphemy Law
-
Editorial, The New York Times, August
30, 2001
Pakistani criminal court has sentenced
Dr. Younus Shaikh to be hanged for stating obvious facts about the life
of Muhammad before he became the founder of Islam. That verdict and the
blasphemy law that underlies it are an embarrassment to Pakistan and a
threat to the basic liberties of its citizens. ......

Kashmiri Hindus run
scared of rising violence
-
Reuters, The Indian Express, August
30, 2001
A wave of grisly killings of Hindus
by militants over the past six weeks has terrorised the minority community
in Kashmir. The latest victims were two Hindu priests who were dragged
from a temple by militants and beheaded, police said. No group has claimed
responsibility for the attacks. ......

Musharraf's Pakistan
- G Parthasarathy
-
Rediff on Net, August 29, 2001
Many people saw the Agra Summit
as a great triumph both domestically and internationally for General Pervez
Musharraf. After Prime Minister Vajpayee invited him to visit India and
even strangely congratulated him while he was in the process of getting
rid of the democratically elected president of Pakistan, Rafiq Tarar, the
United States government did him the honour of referring to him as 'President'
Musharraf for the first time, when he arrived at Agra. ......

Terrorism: Glossing
over the real issues
-
Premen Addy, The Hindu, August 28,
2001
"Gangsters, not freedom fighters"
was the excoriating title of the Sunday Telegraph report on the arrest,
recently, of three suspected members of the Irish Republican Army (IRA)
in Colombia. The paper's investigative team of reporters probed the deception
of "international drug dealers and gun-runners posturing as political guerillas".

Dalits as NGOs' cannon
fodder
-
P. N. Benjamin, The Hindu, August
28, 2001
I am provoked to write this after
reading several articles and statements of well known writers and intellectuals
and representatives of NGOs — call them, dalit warriors —
in The Hindu for some time now, criticising the Indian Government's alleged
attempts to thwart a debate on caste-based discrimination in the coming
United Nations World Conference against Racism in Durban. ......

Militant's threats
force Kashmiri women take to burqa
-
AM Sofi, The Economic Times, August
27, 2001
One dares to defy the orders of
militants because there is no protection available, say a cross section
of working women in Srinagar, where tailors are doing a brisk business
making burqas after an unknown outfit Lashkar-e-jabbar issued Islamic dress
code for women to adhere to. ......

Patented Wisdom
-
Sonu Jain, The Indian Express, August
26, 2001
Each time someone claims a bit
of India as their own - and in these times of patent wars, we're fighting
claims to about 40 products all over the world - the country goes into
a tailspin. Anger, confusion, desperation and determination to Fight It
Out (one more time) do urgent rounds of government offices, agricultural
bodies and NGOs. ......

Guggul holds promise
-
Rajen. M, The Star, August 26, 2001
Ancient Sanskrit texts written
by physicians of the revered Ayurvedic medical system more than 2,500 years
ago, described the condition now known as atherosclerosis (hardening of
the arteries) with a remarkable degree of accuracy. These texts also prescribed
a treatment for it - the herb called guggul (commiphora mukul). ......

Sanatan Dharma can
help unite world: Sudarshan

Staff Reporter, The Hitavada, Nagpur,
August 15, 2001
Saying that the politicians had
always failed to establish peace and that they themselves were involved
in confrontation, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief K S Sudarshan
on Tuesday said that spiritual leaders in the country should take into
their hands the mission of 'world peace'. ......

How to clear the Kashmir
mess
-
Balraj Madhk, Lokmat Times, Nagpur,
August 15, 2001
Much has been written on the Kashmir
problem. It is now generally accepted that the key role in making Kashmir
a problem was played by Nehru. He had emotional attachment with the Kashmir
Valley from where his ancestors came, was obsessed with Sheikh Abdullah
who originally belonged to the same Kaul clan of Kashmiri Brahmins to which
Nehru belonged and had rooted prejudice against Maharaja Harisingh. ......

An open letter to
General Musharraf

M. V. Kamath, Organiser, August
12, 2001
Dear General: For weeks you kept
saying that you were willing to meet, indeed were very anxious to meet,
Prime Minster of India Atal Behari Vajpayee at any time, on any date and
at any place. Shri Vajpayee finally took you at your word and invited you
to India. I am afraid you mistook Shri Vajpayee's generosity for weakness.

The Counterterrorist
Myth
-
Reuel Marc Gerecht, The Atlantic
Monthly, July/August 2001
The United States has spent billions
of dollars on counterterrorism since the U.S. embassy bombings in Tanzania
and Kenya, in August of 1998. Tens of millions have been spent on covert
operations specifically targeting Usama bin Ladin and his terrorist organization,
al-Qa'ida. ......
