Singh is KING Again!

16.5.09… a day that'll go down in Indian history. First time after Nehru a PM is reelected to office after completing a full term in office. I can't believe I am part of this piece of history. Many a history are made these few years. We now have the first Black American President. We saw the Indian stock markets hitting the top circuits for the first time in history. 20% upward movement in a few seconds and the days trade was closed. People like us who are so used to hearing black Monday now heard a "GOLDEN" Monday. How many time do we get to hear positive news like that? Are we not privileged to be part of that history people? 
 
The people of India are well informed, that's the first lesson that the leaders will get from this election. Indian people cannot be taken for a ride by either misleading attacks against top leaders or by religious extremism. The BJP put the building of Ram temple where Babri masjid was once, at the top of their election manifesto. If they lost it still, with hindus accounting for more than half of Indian population, I guess it's time for the BJP and other communal forces to realize that people in India do not bother religion as much as the hardliner Netas do. This election was a testimony to the Indian resolution that we will not let India go back to primitive ideologies and parties that support them. We need progress. A Better India than what we have now. A more progressive, futuristic, modern, freer India. And not a fundamentalist India. We do hope that the new UPA govt will be able to live up to the dreams of young Indians.
 
Of course Lalu Prasad Yadav is up to some joke every time. Days before the election he left the UPA alliance to form the fourth front. He realized it's a folly, post results and now he's trying all he can to get back a cabinet berth. Will he get it? In any case, we have the laugh as he tries hard for it. 
 
What do I tell people who think Sonia Gandhi is a foreigner. Some of them also believe that Tamil Eelam in Sri Lanka should be realized. So Tamilians in Sri Lanka are of the land and own the land. Here Sonia Gandhi who's a naturalized citizen and wife of a former PM, daughter in law to the iron lady of India and mother to two promising leaders of India is a  foreigner. She has no business controlling Indian politics. If she chooses, she can go back to Italy (she could have... long back, with her kids) and live a very luxuriously comfortable western life. But she seems to prefer the dust and dirt of India to the posh beeches and resorts of Europe. She's leading India to the development that APJ Abdul Kalam dreamt - India will be a developed nation by 2020. Again It's gladdening to note that the people of India recognize what's good for India. An honest leader whose origin may be foreign over native netas who're bent on leading India to communal violence and the colonial tactic of divide and rule. The kind of divide that Indian leaders attempt is much more savage than the British tried. These are leaders who'd standby as one community goes on a rampage killing thousands from a different religion. Later it becomes an election propaganda. Lives merely sacrificed for the sake of an election win. Should we let them talk about anyone's nationality?
 
I like to add here  a typical CPM reasoning. Ok .. Not now. I can actually make a separate blog of it. Even a complete loss is a verbal victory for a leftist supporter. I always find it amusing. Details later...

If Sr. Sefi Is A Virgin?!

Monday, 2 February, 2009

6:56 PM

If Sr. Sefi is still a virgin!!! Have you ever wondered? I did. That's wy this post. I  thought I cud give the public some ideas of things that could happen in a  religious house. I have seen a bit as how things work. So this first hand narration would help clear some of the doubts among the public.

 

If Sr. Sefi is still a virgin, i.e. the accused in the Abhaya Case are innocent, this is how the events would have taken place.  As soon as Sr. Sefi realizes about the tragedy of Sr. Abhaya she calls the priests. Now that's what usually any nun would do in such extreme situation, like  an untimely death. The priests naturally come to the aid of the nuns o their bike. They were, at least they would have thought, wise to have not come alone. But since the malayalee imagination has no limit that dint help. 

 

Since the death (murder or suicide) of Sr. Abhaya was in the early hours of the day, they had more reasons to panic and ask for some help from the male counterparts. I guess they would have also informed their superiors, who also would have suggested that they contact the priests for some immediate help.

 

Yes the priests came. No priest would come alone unless he was the only person in place. I think the priests also thought that their plurality would not leave any room for doubt among the public. But the  plurality only helped the imagination of some sex perverts. The accused were seen doing something that shouldn't be seen?? What? Doing some charity? The Bible says, let your right hand not know what your left hand does. Huh!!!

 

The priests, if inclined to some sexual motives wouldn't have come in two. How many of us would go to our girlfriend along with another male friend? I hope I do not have to tell when! Yes I understand group sex. But I do not believe the religious life provides for that much of perversion. Or do they? Maybe an experienced religious could add a footnote here.

 

So if the guy who saw the bike in the wee hours and not in the morning, please have the common sense to understand that the priests have enough sense not to stay too long to make things more worse. They did come on a bike. But once their job is done (that of consoling, comforting, reassuring the sisters) they would have returned. Since their arrival had to be immediately after the death, the time of death and seeing the bike at the convent were close. This could have led to the speculations tat are still unfolding. Who knows how much more we are going to see.

 

The best example is their courage. They are sad but courageous, humiliated but not cowed down. Do I sound like some Bible verse? I do not know where, but I think, I've heard something like this before. Anyways, their attitude in these tormenting, most humiliating moments is anything to go by, they are not guilty.

 

The bike at the untimely hour could have been due to an untimely tragedy. Nothing more. Help is when it's required. Untimely if that's when it is required! I do not see anything more than that. Nothing wrong in that either. Besides what makes the priests get out of their comfortable sleep at such early hours? Uncontrollable urge? I guess and I am sure they knew too, that anything against chastity is much easier during the day. Or maybe evening. So they were so urged by animal instinct that they couldn't wait? Dude, I am sure, they had moving hands! I do not think they'd risk their life and reputation at 3 am just for 30 seconds of ecstasy. If they did risk, it did call for something more important.

 

Now, this was what could happen in a normal religious house. But there could be religious who're extremely cruel. And if these three are guilty of these crimes, they deserve to be doubly punished for trying to influence the verdict and delaying justice for 16 yrs now.

 

As an afterthought, What if Sr. Sefi is not a virgin? Still, given the circumstances, Sr. Abhaya does not seem to have died by Sr. Sefi's hand. Nor that of the priests. What if she did? Their confessors are pple who can be real judges here. I wish the Catholic church had a provision in such extreme cases as these to examine the confession and then decide to keep the religious or fire them. Maybe punish them if found guilty.

 

If religious have become so cruel as to commit cold blooded murders? I do  not make another post of that "if"? All the words in all the languages wouldn't finish writing that post.
