[India_Vision_2020] iMAD - Ideas to Make a Difference

Ideas to Make a Difference

 

Dear Friends,

 

One of the important goals of Everest Serve India initiative is to educate and motivate people on

 

ü  the importance of volunteerism

ü  the simple ways to make a difference (MAD)

 

To achieve this goal, Team Everest has been working on a book which offers you a whole list of simple ideas to help others without money or with little money. We call this book 'iMAD' - Ideas to Make a Difference.

 

We have decided to pick one Idea from this book each fortnight and promote it so that all of us can implement it to make a small difference in this beautiful world. You will get our MAD idea of the fortnight (iMAD – Fortnight) starting this month.

 

What is iMAD - Fortnight all about? 

 

1.       Team Everest will share an Idea every Fortnight from iMAD via email, blog , facebook and twitter.

2.       We will encourage volunteers to execute the idea sometime during the 2 week period by creating awareness on the idea and by promoting it.

3.       Volunteers who have executed the idea can share their experience by commenting in Everest blog, blogging the experience, or through mail, Facebook or twitter.

4.       We will publish the number of people who have executed the idea with interesting details at the end of every 2 weeks.

 

Each idea is very simple to act upon by anyone, but has the power to spread the fragrance of kindness across and create a ripple.

 

iMAD also means 'I can Make a Difference' in addition to 'Ideas to Make a difference'.

 

Get ready to create a whole new world of kindness, one small step each fortnight…

 

 

 

Thanks & Regards, Kartheeban. Team Everest- First Volunteer www.teameverestindia.org www.everestserveindia.org 12/365: Volunteer at least once a month!

Re: [India_Vision_2020] On this day 37 years back, Indian democracy came to a grinding halt - Saluting the heroes who restored democracy

Dear Sir,

Dark periods are always not uncommon in the history of any country.
Even several incidents took place in the Indian Freedom Struggle have
been masked. It is not a mystery that the events of emergency were
kept unpublished. However, the Shah Commission report has been
republished insisting our Philosophy, Truth Never Triumphs.

Today we are in the next phase of undeclared emergency thanks to all
our politicians. As the King Lodi lead the foreign invasion in the
earlier history of India, our policy makers are inviting invasion.

We may face yet another dark phase.

With regards,

N. Arun Nagendran

Re: [India_Vision_2020] On this day 37 years back, Indian democracy came to a grinding halt - Saluting the heroes who restored democracy

Dear Mr. Srinivasan,,

Your brief write-up on the eve of completion of 37 years of Declaring
emergency is read with interest and concern.. You have brought in
brief the chronicles of the events that took place during the dark of
emergency era. After all nation should draw its lessons from the
history. That way the black days of the days and the sufvferings of
nationalists who underwent incarceration for no fault of their are not
to be forgotten in the annals of history. Because they are blot on
our well cherished democratic institutions.

Kudos to your nationalistic spirit.

With regards,

N. Jagannathan

Subject: [India_Vision_2020] On this day 37 years back, Indian democracy came to a grinding halt - Saluting the heroes who restored democracy

 

hi all

Internal Emergency declared  

After independence, India has faced several challenges and every time, it has overcome with courage and conviction.  India got the freedom from British in the midnight of 14/15th August 1947.  The same freedom and democracy was put to a 'grinding halt' in the midnight of 25/26 June 1975. 

In the midnight of that day, President Fakruddin Ali Ahamed, issued a proclamation on the advice of then Prime Minister Mrs Indira Gandhi, as follows:

"In exercise of the powers conferred by clause (1) of Article 352 of the Constitution, I, Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed, President of India, by this Proclamation declare that a grave emergency exists whereby the security of India is threatened by internal disturbances."

By this historic proclamation, the freedom enjoyed by the citizens of India was removed.  Immediately within few hours, all the national leaders like Lok Nayak Jayaprakash Narayan, Kripalani, George Fernandes, Chandrasekhar, Vajpayee, L K Advani, Charan Singh and many others were arrested in the midnight and put behind the bars.  

Since there is not much of the records of the darker days, the present generation has been successfully prevented from knowing the dark side of the Indian history.  

Background leading to Emergency

Indira Gandhi and Raj Narain fought the Lok Sabha Election from Rae Bareli Constituency in 1971.  Indira Gandhi was declared elected.  Raj Narain filed an election petition in the Allahabad High Court, alleging that Indira Gandhi committed election fraud by misusing the Government machinery.  Shanthi Bhushan, the noted advocated argued for Raj Narain.  On 12th June 1975, Allahabad High Court declared Indira Gandhi's victory as null and void and also banned her from contesting elections for six years.  This sent shock waves.  Even Supreme Court refused to stay this order.

The opposition leaders like Jayaprakash Narain and others demanded the resignation of the Prime Minister.  There were lot of protests against Indira Gandhi at that time.

Declaring Emergency

With this background,on the suggestions of Siddhartha Sankar Ray, then Chief Minister of West Bengal, Indira Gandhi advised the President of India to declare internal emergency in India.  

Nearly 1,40,000 leaders were arrested during this period.  Of this, around 40,000 were from Sikh community.  Sycophants surrounded Indira Gandhi.  Many excesses were committed.  Sterlizations were done forcibly.  Huts were removed through police.  Many officers were 'more loyal to the kingdom than the king himself'.  India Gandhi's son Sanjay Gandhi was accused of all the excesses. (Now Sanjay Gandhi's wife Menaka and son Varun are in BJP).

Courts did not have powers.  There was acute press censorship.  Only Doordarshan and All India Radio were giving out Government based news.  Print Media had to show their news item to the Censor Officer in all the Regions to get approval.  Hence, the people were not getting correct information.  Only handful of papers showed courage at that time.  We have to appreciate the courage shown by Indian Express and Thuglak (Cho Ramaswamy) at that time, to fight against the emergency.  

When the papers were asked to bow down, many of the national papers started crawling.  Historically, the so called 'big brands' of today, have crawled in those emergency days, to save their skin.  Ramnath Goenka (Indian Express) and Cho Ramaswamy (Thuglak) deserve all appreciations.  In spite of all the harassments given to them, they showed courage. 

Dr Subramaniam Swamy was a Member of Parliament then.  The Government wanted to arrest him.  Every time, he used to show his head in Parliament and within few hours he would surface in some other foreign country.  He was giving a tough fight against the emergency.  

Rashtriya Suyam Sevak Sangh (RSS) was banned.  Their leaders were arrested.  Many of them went underground.  They were working against emergency in disguise.    Even many of the Communist leaders were arrested. 

Elections declared

On 23rd Jan 1977, Indira Gandhi announced elections to the Lok Sabha.  Emergency was lifted on 23rd March 1977, after 21 months.  After the declaration of elections, all the leaders were released from jail.  

When the leaders came out, they did not have money or organisational structure.  the workers were also in prison.   Four major political parties Congress (O), Bharatiya Jan Sangh, Bharatiya Lok Dal and Socialist party were merged to form 'Janata Party'.

In the General Elections, Janata Party and its allies swept the polls by getting 330 seats out of 542 in the Lok Sabha.  Indira Gandhi could win only in 154 seats, that too in the four states of South India.  In the North India, Indira Gandhi got only 2 seats.  Both Indira Gandhi and Sanjay Gandhi were defeated.  Indira Gandhi apologized for the emergency excesses and atrocities.  

Appointment of Shah Commission by Janata Government

Janata Party formed the Government under the Prime Ministership of Morarji Desai.   They appointed a Commission under the Chairmanship of Justice Shah to enquire into the atrocities and excess committed during the Emergency period.  Justice Shah also submitted his report in August 1978.

Very unfortunately, the Janata Government could not continue for long, due to the internal differences of the leaders. Thereafter, the Janata Party also got split into various parties, like Janata Dal, BJP, Samajvadi Party, etc.  Presently, Dr Subramaniam Swamy is the lone leader who is remaining in the original Janata Party.

Indira back to power

Indira Gandhi came back to power in 1980.  After her coming back to power, all the copies of Shah Commission Report were removed from the libraries, including from the Parliament and National libraries.   Not even one single copy of the report was available after that time.

Shah Commission Report re-published

The entire 21 months dark period of Indian democracy was burried  under carpet. Mr Era Sezhiyan, a well known Parliamentarian and a Member of Parliament at that time of Emergency had one copy of the Shah Commission Report in his library.  He is now 90.  Now the report has been reprinted and published.  I have taken an interview with Mr Sezhiyan about the Shah Commission Report.

http://www.poduniversal.com/2010/12/shah-commission-report-on-emergency.html

Forgotten history and heroes

The martyrs have been forgotten in the history.  Attempts were made to erase this part of the history.  Because of the ignorance of this great struggle, even Anna Hazare team calls their movement as 'second freedom movement'.  Calling Anna Hazare movement as second freedom struggle will amount to belittling the sacrifices made by Lok Nayak Jayaprakash Narayan and other great leaders.  More than 1,40,000 leaders spent their time in prison during emergency days.  

Let us salute those UnSung Heros who fought to restore the democracy back to India.

Internal Emergency declared  

After independence, India has faced several challenges and every time, it has overcome with courage and conviction.  India got the freedom from British in the midnight of 14/15th August 1947.  The same freedom and democracy was put to a 'grinding halt' in the midnight of 25/26 June 1975. 

In the midnight of that day, President Fakruddin Ali Ahamed, issued a proclamation on the advice of then Prime Minister Mrs Indira Gandhi, as follows:

"In exercise of the powers conferred by clause (1) of Article 352 of the Constitution, I, Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed, President of India, by this Proclamation declare that a grave emergency exists whereby the security of India is threatened by internal disturbances."

By this historic proclamation, the freedom enjoyed by the citizens of India was removed.  Immediately within few hours, all the national leaders like Lok Nayak Jayaprakash Narayan, Kripalani, George Fernandes, Chandrasekhar, Vajpayee, L K Advani, Charan Singh and many others were arrested in the midnight and put behind the bars.  

Since there is not much of the records of the darker days, the present generation has been successfully prevented from knowing the dark side of the Indian history.  

Background leading to Emergency

Indira Gandhi and Raj Narain fought the Lok Sabha Election from Rae Bareli Constituency in 1971.  Indira Gandhi was declared elected.  Raj Narain filed an election petition in the Allahabad High Court, alleging that Indira Gandhi committed election fraud by misusing the Government machinery.  Shanthi Bhushan, the noted advocated argued for Raj Narain.  On 12th June 1975, Allahabad High Court declared Indira Gandhi's victory as null and void and also banned her from contesting elections for six years.  This sent shock waves.  Even Supreme Court refused to stay this order.

The opposition leaders like Jayaprakash Narain and others demanded the resignation of the Prime Minister.  There were lot of protests against Indira Gandhi at that time.

Declaring Emergency

With this background,on the suggestions of Siddhartha Sankar Ray, then Chief Minister of West Bengal, Indira Gandhi advised the President of India to declare internal emergency in India.  

Nearly 1,40,000 leaders were arrested during this period.  Of this, around 40,000 were from Sikh community.  Sycophants surrounded Indira Gandhi.  Many excesses were committed.  Sterlizations were done forcibly.  Huts were removed through police.  Many officers were 'more loyal to the kingdom than the king himself'.  India Gandhi's son Sanjay Gandhi was accused of all the excesses. (Now Sanjay Gandhi's wife Menaka and son Varun are in BJP).

Courts did not have powers.  There was acute press censorship.  Only Doordarshan and All India Radio were giving out Government based news.  Print Media had to show their news item to the Censor Officer in all the Regions to get approval.  Hence, the people were not getting correct information.  Only handful of papers showed courage at that time.  We have to appreciate the courage shown by Indian Express and Thuglak (Cho Ramaswamy) at that time, to fight against the emergency.  

When the papers were asked to bow down, many of the national papers started crawling.  Historically, the so called 'big brands' of today, have crawled in those emergency days, to save their skin.  Ramnath Goenka (Indian Express) and Cho Ramaswamy (Thuglak) deserve all appreciations.  In spite of all the harassments given to them, they showed courage. 

Dr Subramaniam Swamy was a Member of Parliament then.  The Government wanted to arrest him.  Every time, he used to show his head in Parliament and within few hours he would surface in some other foreign country.  He was giving a tough fight against the emergency.  

Rashtriya Suyam Sevak Sangh (RSS) was banned.  Their leaders were arrested.  Many of them went underground.  They were working against emergency in disguise.    Even many of the Communist leaders were arrested. 

Elections declared

On 23rd Jan 1977, Indira Gandhi announced elections to the Lok Sabha.  Emergency was lifted on 23rd March 1977, after 21 months.  After the declaration of elections, all the leaders were released from jail.  

When the leaders came out, they did not have money or organisational structure.  the workers were also in prison.   Four major political parties Congress (O), Bharatiya Jan Sangh, Bharatiya Lok Dal and Socialist party were merged to form 'Janata Party'.

In the General Elections, Janata Party and its allies swept the polls by getting 330 seats out of 542 in the Lok Sabha.  Indira Gandhi could win only in 154 seats, that too in the four states of South India.  In the North India, Indira Gandhi got only 2 seats.  Both Indira Gandhi and Sanjay Gandhi were defeated.  Indira Gandhi apologized for the emergency excesses and atrocities.  

Appointment of Shah Commission by Janata Government

Janata Party formed the Government under the Prime Ministership of Morarji Desai.   They appointed a Commission under the Chairmanship of Justice Shah to enquire into the atrocities and excess committed during the Emergency period.  Justice Shah also submitted his report in August 1978.

Very unfortunately, the Janata Government could not continue for long, due to the internal differences of the leaders. Thereafter, the Janata Party also got split into various parties, like Janata Dal, BJP, Samajvadi Party, etc.  Presently, Dr Subramaniam Swamy is the lone leader who is remaining in the original Janata Party.

Indira back to power

Indira Gandhi came back to power in 1980.  After her coming back to power, all the copies of Shah Commission Report were removed from the libraries, including from the Parliament and National libraries.   Not even one single copy of the report was available after that time.

Shah Commission Report re-published

The entire 21 months dark period of Indian democracy was burried  under carpet. Mr Era Sezhiyan, a well known Parliamentarian and a Member of Parliament at that time of Emergency had one copy of the Shah Commission Report in his library.  He is now 90.  Now the report has been reprinted and published.  I have taken an interview with Mr Sezhiyan about the Shah Commission Report.

http://www.poduniversal.com/2010/12/shah-commission-report-on-emergency.html

Forgotten history and heroes

The martyrs have been forgotten in the history.  Attempts were made to erase this part of the history.  Because of the ignorance of this great struggle, even Anna Hazare team calls their movement as 'second freedom movement'.  Calling Anna Hazare movement as second freedom struggle will amount to belittling the sacrifices made by Lok Nayak Jayaprakash Narayan and other great leaders.  More than 1,40,000 leaders spent their time in prison during emergency days.  

Let us salute those UnSung Heros who fought to restore the democracy back to India.

Re: [India_Vision_2020] KALAM FOR PRESIDENT - PEOPLE'S MOVEMENT

 

Very Right Reply to all politicians by Shri Kalam by mentioning that he never was in fray for 2nd term. He is most respected in India and having 2nd term would add nothing to his greatness as he is above all these political class. I salute the great man called Kalam. We wish to be inspired by him in years to come. Rgds

Yes, as he has already become president unless Congress and BJP support win is not guaranteed hence no point for distinguished person like Shri Kalam to fight for a post which he already served so well.

Dear All, Undoubtedly, Shri Abdul Kalam is the right person for the President of India but political people are electing the President.  So, he won't get elected by them.  Hence, it is better not to presssurise him to contest in this election.

Re: [India_Vision_2020] KALAM FOR PRESIDENT - PEOPLE'S MOVEMENT

 

Dear All

With Dr Kalam himself opting out of the race, let's not drag his name any more

Having served as President once, gaining the term "laptop" President and "People's President, we must only see him as more than a President.

Let's find how the future occupant of the Rashtrapathi Bhavan fits himself to the position - unlike the present occupant!!!!!!!!!!

Blessings/Regards

Let these politiciains play this kind of cheap political games. Dr. Abdhul Kalam he himself is not in the fray and he doesn't want to contest at all. Lets appreciate his privacy and lets not discuss.

No use in supporting when a person is not interested in the Presidential election. Lets spend time in something useful to us.
