Alma Di Agosto was blind. Her neighbours, who knew and loved her, were convinced she was guilty: ‘Why?’ asked the lawyer. ‘Because the papers say so.’ ‘But the papers lie,’ said the lawyer. ‘But the radio says so too,’ explained the neighbours. ‘And the TV!’ —Eduardo Galeano, The Book of Embraces
Very true on the stituation has occured in India. It would not wrong to say that Media has made most of the Indian blind on the name of Patrisiom. At the same time making Modi one of the Best PM of this time. Unemployment, Mismanagment at Crona era, GDP at its low and Lockdown period witnessed weaker section of the people on National Highway walking bare footed. Two months back all stories were turned by banning Chinise Apps, Sushant Drama, Rafel epic. Can it could hide BJP Faulier on economic front. Will media will swipe the Modi faulier. Wait for the time.
Let’s concede that an Attack on the Indian Parliament does amount to an Attack on Democracy. Was the 1983 Nellie massacre of three thousand ‘illegal Bangladeshis’ not an attack on Indian Democracy? Or the massacre of more than three thousand Sikhs on the streets of Delhi in 1984? Was the demolition of the Babri Masjid in 1992 not an attack on Indian Democracy? Was the Shiv Sena-led slaughter of thousands of Muslims in Mumbai in 1993 not an Attack on Indian Democracy? What about the 2002 pogrom against thousands of Muslims in Gujarat? There is plenty of evidence, direct as well as

Was only Afazal Guru became the scapegoat of Indian Democracy Saulaghter. During Indra regime emergency happened. We call ourselves as a secular state where Sikhs, Muslims and Dalits were salughter. Though the faces kept on changing. Late Indra, Economic reformer Late PV Narmisha, Lallu Parsad Yadav, Amit Shah or Current PM Narendera Modi. All raped democarcy for the Lust of Raisina. Stainrd blood of Comunal clash were wiped out and became sudh,
There was a small group of citizens, including veteran socialists, civil liberty activists and democratic Indians, who were deeply concerned over the fact that the new anti-terrorist law made it virtually impossible for any accused to prove his innocence. And they believed Geelani when he said he was innocent.
The challenge before this small but committed group of Indian citizens was how to turn public opinion—to make people aware of the dangers of convicting people merely on the basis of police suspicion, without a fair trial—and how to create a climate where the life and liberty of a fellow citizen could not be sacrificed at the altar of national chauvinism. This appeared an impossible task even when some of the country’s most prominent citizens formed themselves into the All India Defence Committee for S.A.R. Geelani.
The question arises on the Judical system that was the police investigation was fair enough to convict the accussed.
At the time it seemed virtually certain that an innocent citizen would hang. Could there be any greater shame for a country that called itself the largest democracy in the world? The trial exposed how easily patriotism could be twisted to serve the needs of those who wanted fascism to triumph in this country, my country.
Can it could be define as a fake patrisiom created by the media to gain TRP which is harming the society as medicine does it side effect
The media neither supported this campaign nor reported on its growing momentum. For them, the fact that more than 50,000 postcards had been sent from across the country demanding a fair trial was not news. Apart from the three universities in Delhi, the Defence Committee for S.A.R. Geelani got support from the university community of West Bengal.5 The All Bengal University Teachers Association, representing nine universities, passed a resolution in Geelani’s support. With the help of our website, pamphlets, posters, meetings and alternative media in regional languages we reached more than

This proves why BJP & RSS were targeting the universities. It proves that no one cant supress the voice of Intellectuals.
politicization of our courts and the criminalization of the police.
Even Top agency are busy in this bussiness
The family managed to rescue him only after they raised one lakh rupees to satisfy the greed of the STF who are known to be extortionists. Tabassum, a new bride, sold all her jewellery, his mother sold his scooter and finally Afzal was handed back more dead than alive. No one in the family can forget the terror of those days.
This is our agency who appricate themselves
A controversial paragraph in the judgement goes on to say: ‘The incident, which resulted in heavy casualties, had shaken the entire nation, and the collective conscience of the society will only be satisfied if capital punishment is awarded to the offender. The challenge to the unity, integrity and sovereignty of India by these acts of terrorists and conspirators can only be compensated by giving maximum punishment to the person who is proved to be the conspirator in this treacherous act.’ [Emphasis
Indian Judicary claims that he was the engaged in attack which was act of war. Many causaulties reported. Captial punishment was a mark of compesitation.
My Days In Prison14 he tells of how, among other things, he was made to clean the toilet with his shirt and then wear the same shirt for days.
Is our Jail system is blind. Rights of Human is beinf salughterd by other inmates and jail staffs too. Who is watching rarest of rare
The Home Minister said they ‘looked like Pakistanis’, the police said they were Pakistanis, the trial court judge said they were Pakistanis. And there the matter rests. Had we been told that their names were Happy, Bouncy, Lucky, Jolly and Kidingamani from Scandinavia, we would have had to accept that too. We still don’t know who they really were, or where they were from. Is anyone curious? Doesn’t look like it. The high court said, ‘. . . identity of the five deceased thus stands established. Even otherwise it makes no difference. What is relevant is the association of the accused with the

Are our agencies fails on the time. As it happened in Parliment attack & Pulwaama attack. Question arieses that it was concern on national security and our agencies failed on that. Entier intelligence system are accountable for the faulier
A few months previously, Coach S-6 of the Sabarmati Express had been set on fire and fifty-eight Hindu pilgrims had been burned alive inside. As ‘revenge’, in an orchestrated pogrom, more than 2000 Muslims were publicly butchered and more than 1,50,000 driven from their homes.
A state from where our beloved has its roots and at that time he was the CM
Has anyone ever heard of a death sentence on a man who was undefended at his trial? This monstrous miscarriage of justice warrants retrial. The Supreme Court has used emotional language. No PM has accused militants of ‘treason’ as it has. Medieval rulers ordered humans to ‘become extinct’. Judges do not. The court rightly calls the crime a ‘terrorist act’ but ends up holding that it ‘might very well be an act of waging war’.4 The two judges on the bench claim ‘to view the expression with the eyes of the people of free India’ and ‘dissociate ourselves from the old English and Indian

Will it be correct Afzal Guru stands at the same place where Indian was under the colonial rule of British. It seems nothing diifrence between him and Bhagat Singh. Without a proper trail how could be a person would be charged for captial punishment. Only on cirumstances he was not only found gulity but no one was ready to accpet why attack was done to the temple of democracy. The question arises on the working system of top investigating agency and Judical system. May be i would be wrong but as the things went it raises the doubt or it was a political party who started sowing fake patrision in country. Will my doubts will be cleared. Lets not froget about the emerging of Bangladesh as a country. Involvement of Indra during that epic and batting of Pakistan in Valley is Vice Versa. It is tit for tat for the Indian State. Bangladesh Mukti and Fidyanne are the same at diffrent times.
Clamour for Afzal’s scalp comes ill from men who have, like accused persons of the lesser breed, avoided trial for over a decade in the Babri Masjid demolition case. The chief among them, L.K. Advani, shamelessly said that it was ‘a political case’ and did not involve ‘moral turpitude’ (20 December 1999).5 What a message by the then Union home minister to militants all over the country.
All the politcal parties used the propaganda related to cast, Dalits etc. It was BJP who took a big leap and attract Hindu Voters on the name of religion. Slowly but frimly they were in command in the big states of India. They got the states like Gujrat and UP. Everyone knows after that how the communal history being written in Gujrat. As a result after three decades RSS & BJP rewareded Mr. Modi as a PM of India.
It would not wrong to say that where Narishma Rao & Manmohan Singh were infulcing their voters through Investment in India which not only brought money in India but at the same time common man was being by the employment. There were job openings every where in private firms which India has never seen. BPO & Technical expertise were high. India was changing. At that time Congress was at its best where Atal and Advani was clueless because there was no one to listen them. Hindu card was played at that time. It took time Demolishion of Babri, Gujrat Riots, trageting regional leaders and others leaders through false propganda. Anna Hazzare aandolan not only benifitted to them but at the same time BJP came into the power.
Liberalization era is coming to an end. Here question arises where we are heading towards now. Is India on the right track or it has been fall in trap of fake deshbhakti which is being displayed by the varous news channe. I would like to arise those media pandits that if China is so Dangerous. Why won't we attack on them. Why media personal barks at fake deshbhakti.
Today because of Hard Core Hinutava we love see Banana Repulic on the TV. Nation wants to know what happened to SSR and Reya is the real Culprit. Kangna is Real Herione of this time. Its seems that Kapil Sharma Show is being aired by the news Channel. If these thing continues i am afraid the for TRP news Channel will compell enterimanet channel to shut down. May be one day Kapil Sharma would become jobless or migrate himself into Banana Republic.
Ravish Kumar, Punya Parsun Vajpayee & Abhishaar are being isolated. Its not because of people do not want to listen. Between these Journalist and their audiance come digital platform like Facebook & Twitter. Present goverment never wants that truth should come out. GDP is falling. Crona Virus has effected the livelyhood of the people. Those who migrated to back to their native place with empty pockets faced flood. Pathetic situation in country. Ravish is as if of Art movie hero. Who focuses on on art movie. The people loves to see blockbuster and Arnab Goswami has doctrated in that. Just like art movie real Journalism is dying and Stupid Journalism is being vomitted on Banana Republic. Though Rajdeep Sardesi felt the real journalism is at brink and fake is being presented real. Though Rajdeep woke up but it was too late. Intellectuals have only symapthy for them. Real Heroes like Sonu Sood are being forgetten and fake people like Kangana Ranawat are being in Lime light. Why people of India are being ditched. Who will answer of it. Leaders of present time or citizens of India or Banana Repulic. Off course time will answer but it will to late for us.
I am appalled that any human being could be sent to death without being given an opportunity to be heard. This was meant to be a civilized nation, with the guaranteed fundamental right to state legal aid for the indigent and those otherwise unable to access legal service.
