Old Man's Hope

Mutual Assured Destrution

Sons of Ind, why sit ye idle,

Wait ye for some Deva's aid?

Buckle to, be up and doing!

Nations by themselves are made!

Yours the land, lives, all, at stake, tho'

Not by you the cards are played;

Are ye dumb? Speak up and claim them!

By themselves are nations made!

What avail your wealth, your learning,

Empty titles, sordid trade?

True self-rule were worth them all!

Nations by themselves are made!

Whispered murmurs darkly creeping,

Hidden worms beneath the glade,

Not by such shall wrong be righted!

Nations by themselves are made!

Are ye Serfs or are ye Freemen,

Ye that grovel in the shade?

In your own hands rest the issues!

By themselves are nations made!

Sons of Ind, be up and doing,

Let your course by none be stayed;

Lo! the Dawn is in the East;

By themselves are nations made!

Telangana "land of Telugus"

Its bad that center bow in front of blackmail but question of telangana as an state or be in vishal andhra was from the root of our independence or before that The Telangana region was mentioned in the Maha bharat as telinga Kingdom. India become independent in 1947 When India became independent, the Telugu-speaking people were distributed in about 22 districts; 9 of them in the Telangana region of Nizam's Dominions (Hyderabad State)n December 1953, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru appointed the States Reorganization Commission to prepare for the creation of states on linguistic linesThe States Reorganization Commission (SRC) was not in favour of merging the Telangana region with the then Andhra state. Para 382 of States Reorganization Commission Report (SRC) said "..opinion in Andhra is overwhelmingly in favour of the larger unit, public opinion in Telangana has still to crystallize itselfThe concerns of Telanganas were manifold . The region had a less developed economy than Andhra, but with a larger revenue base (mostly because it taxed rather than prohibited alcoholic beverages), which Telanganas feared might be diverted for use in Andhra. They also feared that planned dam projects on the Krishna and Godavari rivers would not benefit Telangana proportionately even though Telanganas controlled the headwaters of the rivers. Telanganas feared too that the people of Andhra would have the advantage in jobs, particularly in government and education. Para 386 of States Reorganization Commission Report (SRC) said "After taking all these factors into consideration we have come to the conclusions that it will be in the interests of Andhra as well as Telangana area is to constitute into a separate State, which may be known as the Hyderabad State with provision for its unification with Andhra after the general elections likely to be held in or about 1961 if by a two thirds majority the legislature of the residency Hyderabad State expresses itself in favor of such unification. Telangana people had a number of complaints about how the agreements and guarantees were implemented. Discontent with the 1956 Gentleman's agreement intensified in January 1969 when the guarantees that had been agreed on were supposed to lapse. Student agitation for the continuation of the agreement began at Osmania University in Hyderabad and spread to other parts of the region. Government employees and opposition members of the state legislative assembly swiftly threatened "direct action" in support of the students. This movement, also known as Telangana movement, led to widespread violence and deaths of hundreds of people and students of this Telangana region. Approximately 360 students gave their lives in this movement. In 1969, when the Hindi blockbuster Aya Sawan Jhoom ke was released, Telangana people could be seen carrying posters with the slogan "Aya Telangana Jhoom Ke" [Telangana would come up with great fanfareAhead of the 2009 General Elections in India all the major parties in Andhra supported Telangana state].dont know whether this will be a better state or not after sepration but pls dont blame the people and plz comment on me too

Three years in jail for posting Dalai Lama photos online

Two young Tibetans, identified as Gyaltsen and Nyima Wangdu, have just been given three-year jail sentences for posting photos of the Dalai Lama online. The exact date of their conviction is not known but it is believed to have been three or four days ago. They were convicted on charges of “communicating information to contacts outside China.”

They have been detained in Lhassa since 1 October. Their families, who have not been able to visit them in prison or obtain any information about them, are concerned for their health.

Three other Internet users, identified as Yeshi Namkha, Anne (a pseudonym) and Thupten, were arrested for similar reasons on 1 December but have not yet been tried. It is not known where they are being held.

“All these young Tibetan Internet users did was exchange photos of Tibet’s spiritual leader,” Reporters Without Borders said. “We call for their immediate release and the withdrawal of all the charges. These convictions are absurd. These young people should not be made to pay for the tension between the Chinese authorities and the Dalai Lama.”

Does Vande Mataram is must ?

During theIndian independence the song Vande Mataram was frequently sung at protest meetings. At the proclamation of theProvisional Government of Free india  in Singapore in October 1943, Vande Mataram was sung by the crowd. Muslims were, however, not comfortable with the expressly Hindu metaphors used in the song, and disliked the anti-Muslim tenor of the book, Anandmath, in which it had been first published. The leaders of the INA in Singapore were aware of this problem, and hoped that Subhash Chandra Bose, the head of the INA and the Provisional Government, would settle it.Lakhsmi Sehgal, an active INA member, favoured the selection of Jana Gana Mana , which was composed byRabindraNath Tagore and had been sung at sessions of the Indian National Congress. She arranged to have it sung at a women's meeting attended by Bose. Bose was taken by the song, which he thought was truly nationally representative. He did not, however, like the fact that the song was in Sanskritised Bengali or Hindi, and commissioned a free translation in Hindustani.

The translation, Subh sukh chain, was written by Capt. Abid Ali, and its score composed by Ram Singh Thakur . It took Vande Mataram's place as the official national anthem of the Provisional Government, and was sung at all meetings, including at the final assembly before Bose's departure. Because it was prepared as aIt is sometimes considered a Hindi version of the national anthem of India,Jana Gana Mana, though its meaning varies from the latter and it is therefore not a true translation.

Subh sukh chain ki barkha barse,

Bharat bhaag hai jaaga.

Punjab, Sindh, Gujarat, Maratha,

Dravid, Utkal, Banga,

Chanchal sagar, Vindh, Himaalay,

Neela Jamuna, Ganga.

Tere nit gun gaayen,

Tujh se jivan paayen,

Har tan paaye asha.

Suraj ban kar jag par chamke,

Bharat naam subhaga,

Jai ho, jai ho, jai ho,

Jai, jai, jai, jai ho.

--Second stanza--

Sab ke dil mein preet basaaey,

Teri meethi baani.

Har sube ke rahne waale,

Har mazhab ke praani,

Sab bhed aur farak mita ke,

Sab god mein teri aake,

Goondhe prem ki mala.

Suraj ban kar jag par chamke,

Bharat naam subhaga,

Jai ho, jai ho, jai ho,

Jai, jai, jai, jai ho.

--Third stanza--

Subh savere pankh pakheru,

Tere hi gun gayen,

Baas bhari bharpur hawaaen,

Jeevan men rut laayen,

Sab mil kar Hind pukare,

Jai Azad Hind ke nare.

Pyaara desh hamara.

Suraj ban kar jag par chamke,

Bharat naam subhaga,

Jai ho, jai ho, jai ho,

Jai, jai, jai, jai ho.
