THE CHARGE OF "Anti-Nepali" AGAINST ME

Part III (B)

FEBRUARY 15 2015 VOL 9 NO. 154

No laughing matter
A lower court in Mumbai has thrown the book at the
organisers, participants and members of the audience
of the AIB Roast, directing the police to file FIRs
against leading names in Indian cinema. It has set the
action rolling on an absurd courtroom drama that
belongs in another time, or another country. The
charges range from violation of the controversial
Section 66A of the Information Technology Act to the
very serious act of criminal conspiracy. Applied to a
comedy show, its like using a hydrogen bomb to kill a
rabbit.
In India, the lower courts have shown a deplorable
willingness to allow the misuse of archaic or controversial laws to restrict the freedom of expression. In the
matter of the AIB Roast, the petitioner has complained
that off-colour banter was articulated in the presence of
women. Does the Girgaum court believe that women
are delicate and must be protected from bad language?
If so, why are women in the audience like Deepika
Padukone and Alia Bhatt being prosecuted as perpetrators? Are there two classes of women, then? The law
abhors arbitrariness, but it is rife in this case, where
sections of the audience have been singled out for prosecution. Besides, since an FIR automatically guarantees action, and since some of the charges are non-bailable, absurd consequences can be expected. Will a
large crop of leading actors be locked up soon for participating in or merely watching a slightly ribald comedy?
Laws exist to regulate society, not according to timeless principles but according to its evolving needs. The
laws that are routinely used by the guardians of high
morality and hurt sentiments to contain free expression
are arguably dated or relatively unexamined. In India,
politics is generally either blas about freedoms, or
actually restricts them in order to narrow the public
discourse. In this negative climate, the higher judiciary
has served as the protector of freedoms, constantly
reinterpreting their amplitude as the needs and expectations of society evolve. The size of AIBs willing
audience, and the viewership on YouTube, is more evidence of Indian societys ability to deal with obscenity.
Now, it is up to the higher judiciary to re-examine the
right to expression accordingly.

Glimmer of hope
Before the ceasefire signed in Belarusian capital
Minsk was to come into effect at midnight Saturday,
shelling was reported from the rebel-held cities of
Donetsk and Luhansk in eastern Ukraine on Friday.
The practical problems likely to be encountered in
implementing the deal negotiated by Russia,
Ukraine, Germany and France pose a big risk.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, whose shuttle
diplomacy is largely credited with the deal, warned
the ceasefire is merely a glimmer of hope and will
fall flat if actions dont follow words. The uncertainty owes to the intent of Moscow, which denies
being a direct party to the conflict and insists its
only a guarantor.
More than 5,400 people have been killed since
fighting began in April 2014, with an estimated 5.2
million living in the conflict zone. The current deal
betters the failed agreement of September 2014 by
setting a precise time for the ceasefire, widening the
buffer zones and asking for the withdrawal of heavy
weaponry and troops on both sides. If Russian
President Vladimir Putin appeared cheerful, the reason could be that Russia and the rebels are making
tactical gains, with the Ukrainian military having to
give up its current line of control and Kiev compelled to introduce a new constitution allowing
rebel regions to form their own police, appoint their
judges and conduct trade with Russia. But, significantly, the deal upholds Ukrainian sovereignty, with
full control of rebel-held areas and the border with
Russia set to return to Kiev by end-2015, post a full
political settlement. Also, the IMFs $17.5 billion
reform package would enable Kiev to reopen banks
and transfer pensions to the east. So, Ukraine may
be the strategic winner.
Russias economic problems, induced by Western
sanctions, and Moscows inability to prop up the
Donbas region combined with EU leaders sense of
urgency, given the turn for the worse the conflict
had taken recently. Putin may also have calculated
that reintegrating the rebel regions with Ukraine
alone could renew his leverage over its politics.

EDITORIAL

GANGTOK, SUNDAY 15 FEBRUARY 2015

P. Kumar Chamling is the greatest enemy of the Hindus in history.

And, therefore,
He shall beg for pardon from ALL the HINDUS of Nepal, Bharat, and the world or prove his highly objectionable
invective: "Hami moortipujak Aryan hoinow, hami ta prakriti pujak Mongol ho. Yee Hindu haru ley ooniharuko
dharma-karma hamima jabarjasti ladeyra hamimathi soshan gariraheykocha". Hamro Prajashakti, 3 September,
2013 [We are not statue-worshipper-Aryans; we are nature-worshipper-Mongols. These Hindus have forcibly
(jabarjasti Turner Nepali Dictionary, Page 208) burdened us with their religion and they have been exploiting
(soshan) us]. Provoking more than 1.5 billion Hindus in the world is certainly intolerable; but PKC's gargantuan
swag has made it tolerable among 'Jaichands'. ['Jaichand' explained later].
Cold-blooded murder of Hindu Never in history and nowhere in any country -even in countries under non-Hindu
Sonam Wangdi Rule -did the Hindus witness such barbarous and atrocious treatments as were seen in Sikkim, a State of Hindustan.
Little Knowledge Mr. Nandalal, a Hindu Brahman, "was made to drink urine when he asked for water before his death. The act of
murder was committed under the leadership of Mr. Man Bir Rai, Chairman, Ruling Government Party". [Congress
Series
Sandesh Sikkim Mahaloot, 2010, Page 105]. Elaborated later.
"Seberin Rai: Nepali jaatilie kewal dhakrey ra majdoor matra
samjhaney Sonam Wangdi NEECH BYAKTI tatha SARA
BHARATIYA NEPALI HARU KO BIRODHI HOON.
Sampurna Sikkimey Nepaliharu sangha chama mangnuparcha;
["Sonam Wangdi, a low-born man, (neech byakti), who thinks
Nepali caste (Nepali jaati) only as 'dhakrey' and labourer shall beg
for pardon from all Nepalese of Sikkim"]:Samai Dainik, 22 June,
2014, Page 4. Sri Rai may, however, kindly show my writing
where I have written 'dhakrey majdoor' or beg for my pardon, if
he is a true Christian.
Rais not to celebrate Hindu dasai tihar
"Gangtok, 18 July: Khambu RAI sangathanley yas barsadekhi
Hindu haruko mahan char dasain namanauney nirnaya
liyeyko cha. (From this year, the Khambu RAI organization has
decided not to celebrate the Hindus' great dasain festival).
Tatkalin gair-kirati samratharuley kiratiharulai jabarjasti Hindu
sanskriti ra utsaw manauna badhya banayeyko janaudai Khambu
RAI kirati raheyko ra kirati dharma anusar ooniharu prakritipujak
raheykobataiyeyko cha. (The then non-Kirati emperors forcibly
compelled the RAIS to celebrate the Hindu festival and observe
Hindu culture since the great Hindu dasai is against the Nature
worshipper Kirat RAI, the celebration has been stopped from this
year". [Himali Bela, Gangtok, 19 July, 2012, Page 1].
Also, Himalaya Darpan, Silguri, 1 November, 2013, Page 5:
"Kharsang, 31 October: "Kirati Khambu RAI sanstanko kendriya
samitidwara jari bigyaptiko khandan. Kirati Khambu Raiharuley
aab ooso kahilay pani HINDU-HARUKO char dasain tiharlai
namanney kara nirnaya liyeyko cha".The Central Kirati
Khambu Rai Committee has taken a strict decision that never will
the Hindu dasai and tihar festivals be celebrated. Sri P Kumar
Chamling, who wants Rais to observe 'Sakewa' is allegedly
behind the move to show Rai as a Mongol and not a Hindu tribe.
Never have I known of any caste -other than the Rai to which
the chief minister belongs -ordering the people to refrain from
observing certain festival. It is for the people to participate in any
function. It may be noted that the Rais are disallowed to observe
the Hindu festivals only; they can, however, celebrate other festivals, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, etc. The bar only against the
Hindu should attract penal action in Hindustan. But, as repeatedly noted, the chief minister is above the law, above Supreme
Court, above the Constitution, and even above Lord Shiva
Himself.
Justice Bhargava's order
The following seven paragraphs are extracted from my Part X
The Plunder of the Nation - The 'Mahaloot' of Sikkim , SubPart V ,
Himalayan Mirror, Gangtok, 3 April, 2013
1. Corruption intensified after SDF came to power : The
present ruling party, Sikkim Democratic Front, came to power
after the November, 1994 election to the Sikkim Assembly. The
leader of SDF, Pawan Kumar Chamling (PKC) was sworn-in as
chief minister on 12 December, 1994 and he is in office since
then.
2. In Part VIII, March 20, 2013, I quoted: "For the last four
years, the present government has done nothing but fleece the
people.". [The Statesman, Siliguri, Friday, 7 May, 1999] . The
last paragraph of Part VIII and the first one of Part IX dealt with
"Pawan Kumar Chamling's predetermined plan to "amass
wealth" to the detriment of the public interest. The averment,
attributed to Pawan Kumar Chamling (PKC) that 'paisa kamau-ney mou-ka ye-hi ho', lends credence to the view that his
ulterior motive in becoming chief minister was to "amass money"
- "Burma-loot bha-ye-na ra maha-loot ka-sa-ri hun-daina?" - and not to serve the people".
3. "Before it came to power nine months ago, the ruling Sikkim
Democratic Front had promised eradication of corruption and
genuine change in the 'system of governance' in the State". [The
Statesman, Calcutta, 30 August, 1995 (Statesman 30)].
4. The Chief Justice, Mr. S N Bhargava's pronouncement on
a writ petition filed by Mr Teknath Sapkota, stated: "Democracy
means a lot to the Sikkimese people. For it was in the name of
democracy that the former Buddhist kingdom became a part of
the Union and it was in the name of democracy that the ruling
party was voted to power in the November, 1994 Assembly elections". (Statesman 30).
5. "Last week, Sikkim High Court in its historic judgment put
an end to the 'negotiation' system". On the 'negotiation' system,
Justice Bhargava wrote: "I have not come across such a guideline.
This seems to be a unique procedure adopted in the State of
Sikkim only" (Statesman 30).
6. While pointing out that "the democratic form of Government
demands equality and absence of arbitrariness and discrimination", Mr. Justice Bhargava said the system practiced under the
circular was "nothing but a short-cut for distributing
Government largesse to politicians for their political gains. It
cannot be permitted in a country which is governed by the
rule of law and where democracy prevails. It is nothing but a
camouflage meant to legalize political patronage" (Statesman
30).
7. "The High Court ruling has infuriated many local ruling
party youths. Their reactions go to show that their main objective of supporting the ruling party was to get quick and easy
returns". (Statesman 30).
'Jaichand' explained: 'Jayachand' is synonymous with
'treachery'. For, The Oxford Hindi-English Dictionary, Page 360,
notes: "Jayacandi, like Jaycand, (the Gahadavala ruler of
Banaras): treacherous".
The thirteen paragraphs are from my Part XI Plunder of the
Nation - The 'Mahaloot' of Sikkim, Sub-Part VI, Himalayan
Mirror 8 May, 2013
1. As noted above: "Plundering is done by either aliens or citizens with alien mentality, or immigrants.". In Sikkim, "plundering" is obvious owing to the composition of the population. "
There are bound to be a large number of "illegal settlers" in
Sikkim, because Chief Minister himself is a "Nepal citizen".(HM)
2. "In yet another telegraphic communiqu to President
Pratibha Patil on Thursday, (15 April, 2010), Congress for
Democracy Convenor and noted political activist, Hem Lall
Bhandari, said: 'Chamling is born in Nepal and possesses the citizenship of Nepal', Bhandari said in the message. On this issue,
the President has been asked to call for the 'entire records' submitted to the Sikkim Governor by Bhandari in January, 2009"

[Sikkim Observer, Gangtok, April 18-24, 2010] (HM).

3. A Gold Medalist of the Bombay University, Bhandari, a
Sikkimese-Indian, also topped India and got a scholarship to
study Master of Laws in Harvard University, USA He is a
Harvard LL.M.
"Oosko (Chamling) ta Nepal ko nagrita cha". "He
(Chamling) has Nepal citizenship.) [Hamro Prajasakti, Gangtok,
15 November, 2010].
4.
Lastly, "Chamling ko Nepal ko nagrikta patra hami
sangha cha" (We have Chamling's Nepal citizenship documents).[Pahal Man Subba (2012), Sikkim Dosro Kranti - 1973,
Gangtok, Page 16].
5.
Padam Prasad Sharma (PPS), a Sikkimese-Indian, had
filed a petition in the Delhi High Court "seeking a direction to the
Union Home Ministry to cancel the Indian citizenship of Sikkim
Chief Minister Pawan Chamling as he has acquired the citizenship of Nepal". The Court "dismissed" it on the ground that PKC
was "repeatedly elected to the Sikkim State Legislative
Assembly". [The Hindu, Kolkata, 18 March, 2011].
6. The people of Sikkim lost faith in judiciary; but in reality,
judiciary is not at fault. The fault lies in the fact that there was no
convincing presentation of facts before the court. Nevertheless, at
least, an investigation could have been ordered; and during that
stage, the facts in the petition could be disproved by manipulating
evidence and using money and muscle power. And then the judiciary could have dismissed the petition.
7. Exactly similar is the case relating to Mani Kumar Subba's
Nepal citizenship. If Chamling's Nepal citizenship cannot be
believed in on the ground that he was "repeatedly elected to
the Sikkim State Legislative Assembly", then MK Subba's
Nepal citizenship also cannot be believed in; for, MKS was
"repeatedly elected" to both the Assam State Legislative
Assembly and Parliament (Lok Sabha).
8. Unfortunately, unlike Chamling, Subba had to face
investigation. "Mani Kumar Subba, former MP from Tezpur in
Assam, is not an Indian citizen, the Central Bureau of
Investigation has told the Supreme Court recently. CNN-IBN in
May 2007 had found that Subba was a Nepali citizen named
Moni Raj Limbo, who had escaped from prison in that country
after being convicted of murder. According to official records in
Nepal, Limbo escaped from prison in 1973 and was never traced.
There is no substantiated proof of MK Subba's existence in India
prior to 1973, CNN-IBN reported". [Sikkim Observer, Gangtok,
October 11-17, 2009].
9. "The CBI court has framed charges against former Tezpur
MP Mani Kumar Subba in the fake citizenship case. The court
framed the charges under sections 420, 468 and 471 of the IPC."
[Himalayan Mirror, Gangtok, 3 April, 2013].
10. "Moni Kumar Subba, Indian National Congress, AssamTezpur, Member, Assam Legislative Assembly, 1991-98 (two
terms); Member, 12th and 13th Lok Sabha". [Indian
Parliamentary Companion, Who's Who of Members of Lok
Sabha, Lok Sabha Secretariat, New Delhi, 2003, Page 583].
Unlike MK Subba, never was Chamling elected to the Lok
Sabha.
11. If CBI is ordered to investigate the Chamling's Nepal citizenship in the same way as it was done in the case of MK Subba,
it is alleged that "facts stranger than fiction" may emerge paling
into insignificance the saga about Subba.
12. PPS, however, did not pursue further the Chamling Nepal
citizenship petition on the alleged intervention of the Rashtriya
Swayamsevak Sangh, which, unfortunately, sided with
Chamling. RSS's support of Chamling reminded me of "Jaichand
or Jayachandra, the Gahadavala ruler of Kanauj, who lived mostly at Benares, was considered by the Muslim writers to be the
greatest king of India at the time"(Pages 269-70), who helped the
Muslim invader, Muhammad Ghuri, against his son-in-law,
Prithviraj Chauhan, king of Ajmer and Delhi, in the battle of
Tarain in A.D. 1191 and 1192. "Prithviraj had the support of many
of his fellow Rajput princes, but Jaichand held aloof". Jaichand
took offence at Chauhan because "His beautiful daughter is said
to have been carried away by the Chauhan hero. Prithviraj was
captured and put to death, and his brother was also slain. This victory of Muhammad was decisive. It laid the foundation of Muslim
dominion in Northern India; and the subsequent attempts of the
relatives of Prithviraj to recover their lost power proved to be of
no avail". [Majumdar, Raychaudhuri & Datta (1986): An
Advanced History of India, Macmillan, Madras, Page 270].
Jaychand's daughter was said to be in love with Chauhan.
13. RSS's backing a Mongol, like Chamling, against an
Aryan, like Sharma, baffled me.
Explanation of Para 1: "illegal settlers", in Sikkim: Nearly
25% "fraudsters" in Sikkim. Six paragraphs below also from my
Part XI Plunder of the Nation 8 May 2013.
1. "If (Sikkim) government sources are to be believed, then
there are over one lakh people in the State possessing fake or ineligible Certificate of Identification [CoI]. In fact, the exact number
of such CoI holders would be 1,19,289." [Now, Gangtok, 2
November, 2009].
2.
According to the 2011 census, Sikkim had a population of 6,07,688, out of which 1,19,289 representing 19.62 percent
were not genuine holders of CoI, but "criminals" or "fraudsters"
having "fake certificates". (HM)
3. "Moreover, the Sikkim Government itself had stated that
there are at least 31, 180 fake Sikkim Subject certificate holders.
The Sikkim National People's Party even filed a formal complaint with Gangtok Sadar Police demanding legal proceedings
against 31,180 individuals possessing fake Sikkim Subject certificates as admitted by the State government earlier this year."
[Sikkim Express, Gangtok 6 Dec, 2010 and Himalayan Mirror,
22 December, 2010].
4. "Subject to verification, out of 31,180 fake Sikkim Subject
certificate holders, more than twenty-five thousand people are
said to be from the Rai community alone." [Himalayan Mirror,
Gangtok, 12 September, 2012 RTI IV].
5. " The chief minister, Chamling, is from the Rai community."
(HM).
6. The totals of "fake CoI holders" (1,19,289) and "fake
Sikkim Subject certificate holders" (31,180) make a deadly combination of 1,50,469 "fraudsters", forming nearly 25% of the population of Sikkim.
Unprecedented brutality committed by Rais against the
Hindus

The five paragraphs are from my Part II A Tale of Two Chief

Ministers, Himalayan Mirror 23 October, 2013.
1. Allegedly instigated by the Chief Minister, the Rais of
Sakyong, West Sikkim, reportedly resorted to unprecedented brutality in 1999. "(d) Mr. Nandalal Sharma of Chongrang,
Tashiding, West Sikkim, was murdered at Sakyong-Onglop, West
Sikkim, in a most despicable and ghastly manner by the SDF
goons in broad day light. HE WAS MADE TO DRINK
URINE WHEN HE ASKED FOR WATER BEFORE HIS
DEATH. The act of murder was committed under the leadership
of Mr. Man Bir Rai, Chairman, Ruling Government Party".
[Congress Sandesh Sikkim Mahaloot, Printed at Prime Printing
Press, Primula Cottage, Arithang Church Road, Gangtok, Sikkim
and published by Sikkim Pradesh Congress Committee, 25 June,
2010, Page 105].
2.
"I understand that life became intolerable and some
Brahman and Chhettri families left Sakyong village and settled in
Nepal. The case should be re-investigated by the CBI."
[Himalayan Mirror, Gangtok, 27 March, 2013]. The families
should be restored to their possessions; and people, said to be
"Rais from Sakyong" who forced them to leave Sikkim, should
be sternly dealt with according to law so that they will not repeat
their brutish exploit.
3. The Congress allegation is corroborated by an independent,
authentic and impartial source. Pahalman Subba, Lok Sabha
Member, 10 January, 1980-31 December, 1984, writes: "In the
first term itself, pratham karyakalma nai, THE RAIS KILLED
BAHUN, bha-yey bhar-ka Raiharu laga-yey-ra Bahun
maryo. To suppress the criminal case, muddha dabaunu, a VIP
red light was given to the vehicle, garima rato juro diyo. Evidence
was suppressed, sakshi dabayo. In the second term, dosro
karyakalma, the television sets of Chhetri-Bahuns (Hindus)
were thrown on the main road, Chhetri-Bahun haruko TV
mool sarakma phyakiyey; the corrugal iron sheets were
removed from their houses, gharko chyadar ook-a-ey. The
teats of cow (worshipped by the Hindus as Gomata) were
sheared; gaiko thanauro katiyo. To save life, they fled to
Darjeeling, Bhotang, Nepal. In the Nepali media appeared reports
of Nepali fleeing from Sikkim under Nepali chief minister.".
[Hamro Prajashakti, Gangtok, 15 Nov., 2010].
4. Another Brahaman (Hindu) in extreme agony. "Sikkim
Liberation Party president Duk Nath Nepal today wrote to chief
secretary N D Chingapa recording his intention to leave Sikkim
as a 'refugee' with his wife and daughter if his fundamental
right remains allegedly suppressed". [Sikkim Express,
Gangtok, 1 June, 2011]
5. The list is unlimited; but time and space is limited. One
more. A Hindu Colony was almost wiped out in the midnight of
July 18, 2014 at Bahai School Road when a nefarious attempt was
made to set on fire the house of CP Dhakal. T N Dhakal was an
Opposition SKM Party Lok Sabha candidate in 2014. The fire
was noticed by Mrs Passang Sherpa. A probe by CBI is required.
"Chamling is targeting T N Dhakal" Hamro Prajashakti,
Gangtok, 23 July, 2014 Page 7.
I repeat: Never in history and nowhere in any country even in countries under non-Hindu Rule -did the Hindus witness such barbarous and atrocious treatments as were seen
in Sikkim, a State of Hindustan. The Hindus were safe in the
kingdom of Sikkim.
Nandalal was allegedly "killed for removing SDF Flags"
Nandalal Hindu Brahmin was a resident of Chongrang,
Tashiding, West Sikkim. He had come to his relatives at SakyongOnglep where he found that "SDF goons" were forcibly hoisting
SDF Party flags on unwilling house owners. He, therefore,
removed them on their request. As quoted above, the murder plan
was executed by "Mr. Man Bir Rai, Chairman, Ruling
Government Party". He was murdered at Sakyong-Onglop.The
Mongols allegedly forced the Hindu to drink their urine when he
asked for water before his death. The Mongol Rais' practice of
using their urine is also corroborated by another Hindu,
Chandra Prasad, Gyalshing: "Gharko chuloma pishab
gareyko dekhna paa-ee-yo yas prajatantrik rajyama" Hamro
Prajashakti, Gangtok, 13 Sep., 2010, Page 2. In this democratic
State could be seen the home's oven being urinated.
As a Buddhist, I am closer to the Hindu religion than to any
other faith; and the Buddha Himself was born as a Hindu. I did
not like PKC's vituperative attacks on the Hindus; nor could I
imagine his perpetration of atrocities against the Hindus. I understand that many of his anti-Hindu acts have not come in print. Sri
P Kumar Chamling has done what no Hindu 'haters' or 'enemies
of the Hindus' in history have done or uttered words against them.
Chamling's vitriolic utterances against the Hindus reminded me
of the statement of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto who thundered: "Haskay
liya Pakistan; larkay lengay Hindustan"; Pakistan was taken
laughing; India will be taken fighting. But Pakistan hanged him at
the Central Jail, Rawalpindi on 4 April, 1979.
My incompetent study of the works of Chamling has, however, convinced me that Bharat may come under non-Hindu power
again and the history of 1192 A D may be repeated. I find in history that the Hindus conquered Hindusthan and made it a Muslim
India and then a British India from the 12th century onwards till
1947 .The Indian Express, Kolkata, January 24, 2015 reports:
"The share of Hindus in India's population has shown the sharpest
dip in a decade since Independence (1947) and has dropped
below 80 per cent. According to figures of the religion census of
2011, yet to be officially released, Hindus comprised 78.35 per
cent of the total population of 121.05 crore, compared with 80.45
per cent of the total population in 2001". Khuswant Singh wrote:
"Far from becoming mahaan (great), India is going to the dogs,
and unless a miracle saves us, the country will break up. It will not
be Pakistan or any other foreign power that will destroy us; we
will commit hara-kiri".[The End of India, Penguin, Pages 3-4]. If
the Hindus are subjected to unprecedented atrocities in Sikkim
under the 'Mongol', P K Chamling, leaving them with no alternative but to leave Sikkim for eternity, making it repeatedly the highest suicide State since 2005-06; and if the Hindustan government
in Delhi is not able to protect the Hindus, Hindustan, as foreseen
by Khuswant Singh, may become a part of history. (Concluded).
