Governor should trust us, says BJP
Special Correspondent
BANGALORE: The Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday took exception to the reported stand of Karnataka Governor Rameshwar Thakur that its government should prove its majority on the floor of the Assembly before convening a joint session of both Houses.
BJP State president D.V. Sadananda Gowda, talking to journalists here after meeting leaders of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, termed the stand a “mockery of democracy.”
Mr. Gowda said the government expected the Governor to first address a joint session of the legislature. But he was insisting that Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa first prove his strength on the floor of the Assembly.
“We had demonstrated our strength before him by presenting the independent members who have expressed support to the party. We do not know why the Governor is again asking us to prove our strength,” Mr. Gowda said.
Maintaining that it was not proper on the part of Mr. Thakur to ask Mr. Yeddyurappa to prove his strength again, he said: “We have trust in the Governor. He too should trust us.”
A delegation of BJP Ministers is said to have called on the Governor on Friday night and told him that as per Article 176 of the Constitution, he should address a joint session of the legislature soon after the elections.
Joint session
The joint session has to be addressed before the legislature transacted other official businesses, they pointed out.
The delegation is also learnt to have expressed concern that the Governor would set precedence if he did not address a joint session.
Mr. Thakur is said to have told the Ministers that he would consult the Advocate-General and constitutional experts.
Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh’s ruling Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) failed to win a single seat in the Karnataka assembly elections, but party bigwigs say the results are not at all disheartening.
“Whatever we have done is an achievement and will prove to be a source of encouragement for party workers to pump in greater efforts when it comes to the more crucial parliamentary election,” BSP’s national general secretary Satish Misra told IANS in an interview here.

Ambedkar’s Efforts for Adivasis
All these people are now realizing that Dr. Ambedkar had struggled a lot for Adivasis also. We must strive for upliftment of BCs and Adivasis said Dr. Ambedkar. The purpose of keeping them in sub-clause (2) of Hindu Code Bill was to make some provision for them and Hindu Law would “apply to them only if it is proved that Hindu customs and Hindu usages are prevallent in that class”, and it will not apply to them unless “they have adopted the customs.” [W&S, vol. 14 part 2, p.886-7]
Ambedkar asked for right of Adult franchise for Adivasis, in 1928, Simon Commision Statemnt, commenting that Legislatures are the places where “social battles have to be fought, previlages have to be destroyed, and rights have to be won”. He avered that their illeteracy should not come in way of giving them right to vote, as even an illiterate is intellegent and knows his welfare. [W&S, vol.2, p.471]
Disagreeing with the Britishers’ idea of keeping the Adivasis segregated, during the evidence taken before the joint Committee on Indian Constitutional Reforms in 1933, he professed the ideal that these primitive people should not remain primitive and they should cease to be an isolated part of humanity and take part in the public affairs of this country like others. That they must not loose their lands and be landless labourers and their lands be protected from money lendes by suitable Laws. The education is more neccesary for BCs and Adivasis, more than anybody else, he said, and wanted adequate representation for them in legislature assuring the friendship of many BCs. [W&S, vol.2, p.737 ff.]
Election Commission India
Elections India : Article 324 of the constitution establishes an independent Election Commission to supervise parliamentary and state elections in India. Supervising elections in the world’s largest democracy is by any standard an immense undertaking. Some 521 million people were eligible to vote in 1991.
We the people - these are the most important words in our constitution. Everything depends on
us- the voters,who have an opportunity and the right to choose our representatives, demand
accountability and determine the direction of growth and governance of the country. Several
problems have surfaced in the gigantic task of conducting elections in India and to ensure that
elections are free and fair. With each passing election, the educated citizens of our country
seem to have grown ignorant and apathetic about the electoral process and elections. The result
has been a steady deterioration in the standards and practices of political parties reflected in
rampant corruption and the reckless use of money and muscle power to win elections.
Active participation of citizens is an absolute prerequisite to make the electoral system more representative, fair, transparent and free from all the other ills. Eleanor Roosevelt once said:“nobody can hurt you without your consent” which in this context can be rephrased as“nobody can marginalise you without your cooperation.
Hence include all the eligible voters whose names are missing in the voters list with their photo identity.
Strive for Election Tribunal to form Election Committee like any other Parliamentary Committee with the representatives of all sections of the society to ensure that all eligible voters are included in the voters list with their photo identity. And to see that no elections are conducted till this process is completed as enshrined by the constitution of India. And the Chief Election Commission to come under RTI.
Eacha nd every Election Office in Each Constituency must have representative from different sections of the society right from the begining of the election process till the end.
Chief Election Commissioner N Gopalaswamy on Thursday fixed the responsibility for preparation
of error-free voters list, ahead of the election to Karnataka Assembly, on political parties.
Speaking to reporters here, Mr Gopalaswamy said the political parties would be given two
separate lists on February seven for deletion and additions to be made in the final list.
‘’They will be given two weeks time for raising objections to removing and
adding names of the voters for the final list to be prepared on March ten,’’
he said.
‘’It will be the responsibility of the political parties to ensure the final
list did not contain discrepancies any more as the EC has adopted a new
mechanism for producing error-free list,‘’ he said.
To a question on whether the elections would be postponed in case of a delay in the
implementation of the report of Mr Justice Kuldeep Singh who headed Delimitation
Commission, he said the EC did not work on the basis of ‘ifs and buts’ and as of now,
it would conduct the elections before May 28.
‘’The Commission is concerned about the voter’s list as there are only additions and no
deletions in the list.
‘’This is the reason I sent Deputy Election Commissioner R Bhattacharya, who is in charge
for Karnataka, to oversee the whole exercise,’’ Mr Gopalaswamy said.
The EC would hold elections before May 28, as the state completes six months under
President’s Rule on the date, he said.
In the draft list submitted by the State Election Commission (SEC) names of 3.48 lakh
voters had been deleted while 9.27 lakh new voters had been added as of yesterday.
Mr Gopalaswamy and his Deputies Navin Chawla and S Y Qureshi have been here for
the last two days reviewing the voters list and preparedness of the official machinery to
hold elections, following the detection of large number of bogus voters in the voter’s list.
Earlier, Congress and the BJP submitted memorandum to the CEC urging him to provide
error-free voters list and elections be held in the stipulated time.
He replied in the affirmative when asked whether he would take action against the officials
for their ‘lapses’ in preparation of the voter’s list.
Voters list mess in poll-bound Karnataka
Bangalore, Jan 5 - A family with 90 voters and a town with 30,000 voters in a population of 36,500! These are just some of
the glitches in the voters list in poll-bound Karnataka. R. Bhattacharya, deputy election commissioner at the
Election Commission of India has been in Bangalore for the last three days having talks with state
election officials on steps to ensure proper voters list ahead of polls to the 224-member assembly
expected in April/May.
The irregularities in the voters list pointed out by people and political parties has forced the state
election commission to cancel its plans to release the final list on Jan 10.
Bhattacharya met state chief electoral officer R. Ramaseshan, Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagar Palike
(Greater Bangalore City Corporation) commissioner S. Subramanya and senior officials from several
districts and told them of the Election Commission’s displeasure over the way the voters lists had
been prepared.
The state officials now plan to revise the lists and publish them by the end of this month. They have
sought the help of voters to point out anomalies.
Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president Mallikharjun Kharge Friday mentioned the
instance of one family in north Karnataka having 90 voters on the list and of Humnabad town in Bidar
district that has 30,000 voters in a population of 36,500.
More than 7,000 in the town are school-going children, yet there are 30,000 names in the voters list.
Another Congress leader H.K. Patil said there could be around four million bogus names in the voters
list.
Karnataka’s population is estimated at 55 million and voting population at around 42 million.
The two other main political parties, the Bharatiya Janata Party and Janata Dal-Secular also allege
there are many irregularities in the list. The three parties have urged the state and central election
officials to rectify the anomalies

H.D. Kote segment caught in caste row
Staff Correspondent
‘Countermand elections or declare an Adivasi candidate as winner’ Congress, BJP, JD(S) candidates accused of producing fake caste certificates
They ‘tampered’ with records to claim they are from Nayaka community
MYSORE: The State unit of the National Front for Adivasi Self-rule (NFASR) and the Nagarahole National Park Tribal Rights Restoration Committee have appealed to President Pratibha Patil to countermand elections to the H.D. Kote (ST) Assembly Constituency, or declare as winner the Adivasi candidate who gets the highest number of votes, in view of the controversy over the caste status of five candidates including two independents.
Candidates of the Congress, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Janata Dal (Secular) contesting from the reserved H.D. Kote constituency have been accused of producing fake caste certificates to contest in the elections.
NFASR had appealed to the State Election Commissioner to disqualify them for misguiding the Election Commission.
M.R. Ravi, Assistant Commissioner of Hunsur Sub-Division, has submitted a report to the District Election Officer (DEO) P. Manivannan on the the candidates allegedly tampering with the records in order to claim Scheduled Tribe status.
In his report sent to the DEO on May 5, he said that the Tahsildar of H.D. Kote had issued a “controversial caste certificate without verifying the original documents and failed in following the procedure while dealing with the sensitive issue of issuing caste certificates.”
Based on the recommendations, Mr. Manivannan had suspended H.D. Kote Tahsildar T. Vijaya on April 25, and ordered a departmental inquiry for issuing a caste certificate to BJP candidate Chikkaveera Naika.
Although they belong to the “Parivara” community, the Congress, Janata Dal (S) and BJP candidates contested in the elections by claiming themselves to be from the Nayaka community by tampering with official records, according to Mr. Ravi.
The Directorate of Civil Rights Enforcement had issued a circular a few years ago listing a few communities including “Parivara” which should not be categorised as Scheduled Tribes. Tribal organisations in Hunsur and H.D. Kote had launched an agitation accusing various backward groups of cornering the benefits meant for Scheduled Tribes.
Convener of Development through Education (DEED) S. Srikanth told The Hindu that the tribal rights restoration committee had appealed to the President on Saturday to countermand the elections to the constituency or declare as winner the Adivasi candidate who would get the highest number of votes
In C.V.raman Nagar Assembly Constituency One of the candidates raised objection of JDS candidate that he was a Christian. But the Election Officer said that they go by the Caste Certificate issued by the Tahisildar and hence cannot reject his candidature and only the Court has to be approached for further action.
Lambani to set foot in Assembly
His candidature was a calculated move by BJP
BIDAR: A new face, Prabhu Chavan, has made a mark in the district after winning the Aurad (reserve) seat in the district by a huge margin of votes. He is a Bharatiya Janata Party candidate who has been successful in his first attempt at the Assembly polls.
Earlier, some associations had raised an objection with the Election Commission regarding Mr. Chavan’s community. They said that Mr. Chavan hailed from the Banjara community and he therefore could not claim benefit under Scheduled Castes. But Mr. Chavan got clearance after a report from Department of Social Welfare stated that “both Banjara and Lambani are synonymous in the State”.
Effort No.4.
To insist the Election Commission ensure that all the candidates who contest for elections come under RTI to reveal their source of income and file their Income Tax at the time filing their nomination and publish the same in Election Commission’s website and in all the media well in advance before the scrutiny date.
BJP legislators and mine owners Janardhan Reddy and Karunakar Reddy were present during the talks with some of the Independents held at a posh hotel in the city. Mr. Reddy and the former Minister, B. Sriramulu, also accompanied the Independents to the Raj Bhavan.
Among those who fall into the high assets category are Anand Singh, a builder and contractor contesting on a BJP ticket, who has declared assets at Rs 74.56 crore while the party’s Harapannahalli candidate G. Karunakar Reddy, a mining magnate, has declared assets worth Rs 34.06 crore. Karunakar Reddy, brother of mining baron Janardhan Reddy from Bellary, owns a top-bracket BMW, unheard of in these parts.
In Bellary city, Anil H. Lad, another mining biggie who recently shifted loyalties from the BJP to the Congress, declared assets worth Rs 172.72 crore.
Mining magnates with moneybags are new entrants to politics. In the last five years, those who entered the mining sector with a few thousand rupees have become quick crorepatis, admits a BJP office-bearer. “They have huge purchasing power and no party can afford to ignore them,” he said.
Among well known candidates are the BJP’s G. Somashekhara Reddy, whose family is into mining in Bellary, at Rs 29.23 crore, businessman and BJP candidate Krishna Palemar Rs 27.57 crore and Umesh Krishna Hegde, fighting on a BSP ticket, at Rs 102.82 crore.
In the first phase too, former chief minister H.D. Kumaraswamy’s assets stood at Rs 49.72 crore. “What is more surprising is that in 2004, he had declared assets worth just Rs 3.76 crore. It has jumped by Rs 46 crore in four years.

EC nets Rs 40 cr in poll code implementation
CEC N Gopalswami briefed the press that of the cash and material seized, Rs 16 crore was in terms of cash, Rs eight crore worth of liquor, and Rs 16 crore worth of other materials….
Chief Election Commissioner N Gopalswami on Monday said that due to the strict implementation of the code of conduct, the State Election Commission had been able to seize cash and material worth Rs 40.83 crore in the State so far, allegedly used for wooing voters.
Speaking to reporters he said that of the cash and material seized, Rs 16 crore was in terms of cash, Rs eight crore worth of liquor, and Rs 16 crore worth of other materials.
As per section 139(A) of the Income Tax Act, any person who is carrying on any business or profession whose total sales, turnover or gross receipts are or is likely to exceed Rs 5 lakh in any previous year, must possess a PAN. Permanent Account Number is a number by which the Assessing Officer identifies any person.
However, Election Commission officials said it is not mandatory for candidates to furnish PAN numbers in the affidavit.
People of Karnataka demands inquiry into amassing of assets
Bangalore
People of Karnataka on Friday demanded an inquiry from the Income Tax department into the illegal amassing of assets worth crores of rupees by candidates, irrespective of their parties, who are contesting this assembly election in the state.
Candidates who are mostly drawn from different types of mafias like real estate, land and mining have looted the property of the government and the people and had now submitted their affidavits with declaration of illegal assets worth crores of rupees to the Election Commission.
The Income Tax department should take action in investigating into the amassing of properties after they entered political life, he said.
“We have complained to the Election Commission and to take immediate action to find out from where and how they obtained such a huge property in a short period,’’
Mining irregularities: 15 netas get notices

The Lokayukta has served show-cause notices on nearly 15 State politicians who were allegedly involved in several mining irregularities.
The Lokayukta has served show-cause notices on nearly 15 State politicians who were allegedly involved in several mining irregularities.
Declining to reveal the names of the politicians in the dock, Lokayukta Justice Santosh Hegde told Deccan Herald that his office had on Saturday dispatched show-cause notices to 10 to 15 politicians.
While the notices were served on four of them, the rest could not be served as the addressees were found to be out of station, he said.
Earlier, the Lokayukta had told mediapersons in Bellary that those who were issued notices included “former ministers, legislators, those who have fought elections…. everybody is in the list”.
“They will be given a week’s time to respond to the notices. At the most, we will wait for 15 days for their reply. After that a detailed report will be submitted to the government. People can obtain the information under the Right to Information Act,” he had said.
The notices issued under the Lokayukta Act have sought explanation from these politicians for their “prima facie misconduct, malpractice or actions without application of mind to legal provisions or implications and facts or without necessary enquiries” over mining activities.
The irregularities pertain to iron ore mining activities in Bellary, Chitradurga and Tumkur districts, granite mining activities in Bangalore Rural district and irregularities involving Mysore Minerals Limited.
Lokayukta probe
The notices were based on an investigation conducted by a team of Lokayukta sleuths upon a reference from the Mines department. Documents too have been enclosed with the notices.
“Different persons have been issued notices in different matters and a principal report in the matter as a whole will be prepared only after receiving and considering the responses, if any, to our show-cause notices,” Justice Hegde said.
He said though most of the investigation had been completed, the show-cause notices were held back to avoid any politicisation of the issue during the elections.
Already, similar notices have been issued in the matter to several State government officials. Notices are also being issued to mining businessmen and firms found violating mining laws and regulations.
In Bellary, the Lokayukta had said that the notices were not issued earlier because of the elections. He said it was decided not to delay the issue of notices after May 24 because it was feared that the government of that day might be blamed for influencing the action.
Had Hegde Ji has done this before or during Karnataka Assembly Elections with the names of the 15 netas, the results would have been more free and fair. Now this is the comedy done on the people and the people in turn will do comedy on such polititicians and the administration. The results will prove that.
Misra, who is credited with spearheading the BSP’s “social engineering” campaign that took the party to new heights in Uttar Pradesh, dismissed the notion that the party failed to repeat the formula in Karnataka.
“It was quite ridiculous to assume that our social engineering failed to work in Karnataka; as a matter of fact it worked very well to make a dent on quite a large number of the 224 seats in the state”, he asserted.
“For a party that stood at zero in that state, our performance just could not be under-rated. We did quite well in the blocks and rural areas”, Misra pointed out.
According to him, “in nine constituencies, BSP stood at the number two position and at the third spot in as many as 32 seats”.
Significantly, there were a few seats where the margin by which it lost was as low as 200-800.
“We have made the desired dent in the Congress bastion at several places. I can assure you that the Congress lost several seats in Karnataka essentially because of the BSP presence.”
Confident of repeating this in several other states where assembly elections are due this year, Mayawati’s Brahmin mascot predicted “major reverses” for the Congress in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Chhattisgarh and Jammu and Kashmir.
“Once we have made our presence felt in the assembly elections in these states, it will set the pace for our party’s stride in next year’s Lok Sabha poll, which is our ultimate goal.”
Guilty persons in Noida case would not be spared—C.M.
Lucknow : May 29, 2008 The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Ms. Mayawati said that enquiry into the double murder case of Noida would be done by C.B.I. She said that a letter has been sent to the Government of India today in this connection. She appealed that the small leaders sitting on responsible posts in Congress and Central Government should co-operate the U.P. Government for arresting the guilty persons in this case leaving behind the party politics. She said that under the garb of this case dirty politics should not be done. Ms. Mayawati was addressing the media representatives at her official residence 5-Kalidas Marg here today. She said that wherever the Congress Party government were ruling, especially in Delhi, which is also the capital of the country, gruesome cases took place now and then. She said that if the members of Cabinet of our government speak against the Central Government keeping in view the approach of Centre and especially the Congress Party regarding the double murder case of Noida, then it would not be a good tradition for the healthy democracy. The Chief Minister said that the enquiry into this case was yet to be completed. The officers of Gautam Buddha Nagar district police and other senior police officers were searching the right culprits of the case. She said that without knowing the proper facts of the concerning case, the issuance of notice to D.G.P. of U.P. by the National Child Commission of the Centre and the remarks of a Union Minister belonging to Congress Party were not proper and justified. Such type of statement exhibit the dirty politics of Congress Party instead of sympathy towards the deceased victim family, which she herself and B.S.P. severely condemns. Ms. Mayawati said that information about the facts came into the light by the police department regarding this case had been given to media, after which during the examination of the case some other persons and the family members of deceased were being inquired and arrest was made. She said that the case was examined on a large scale and with the help of the experts and other electronic surveillance the facts came into light so far are very important and of serious nature unfolding of which would be against the honour and prestige. The necessary facts in this connection have been presented in the concerning court of district Gautam Buddha Nagar by the police, she said. The Chief Minister said that the family members of deceased were raising fingers on U.P. Police regarding the probe and they wanted C.B.I. enquiry into the case. It is not proper to say something finally in a hurry by our government regarding the allegations of the victim’s family till the enquiry is going on. Our Government assures the victim’s family that the true culprits would be punished in this case. So far as the question of demand of C.B.I. enquiry by the victim’s family is concerned in this case, our government is ready for handing over this case to C.B.I., if the Central Government agrees, she said. Ms. Mayawati said that after the formation of the government on the demand of victim’s families the State Government requested for C.B.I. enquiry into such type of serious cases, but on the pressure of the Union Government C.B.I. had rejected such cases one by one in lieu of some pretext, while it was held very little earlier. She said that keeping in view the bad experiences about the C.B.I. so far regarding Uttar Pradesh, it is to be said to the victim’s family that even after the acceptance of demand by our government regarding C.B.I. enquiry, it might be possible that C.B.I. could return the case after making some excuse after some period of time. But since family members of the victim have lost the confidence on U.P. Police in this case, therefore State Government was sending a letter to the Central Government for conducting C.B.I. enquiry into this case. Assuring the family members, she said that if the C.B.I. rejects for the enquiry into the case and U.P. Police again conducts the enquiry then despite it, in our government no innocent person would be punished in this case and whoever be the true culprits would be severely dealt with. If any police personnel would be found involved in saving the true culprits and our government finds proof of any conspiracy, then such police personnel would not be spared at any cost. She said that during our party government criminals and doubtful police personnel would never be protected like in the previous government regime. **********
C.M. appeals to the people of Gujar Samaj to maintain law and order
Lucknow : May 29, 2008 The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Ms. Mayawati has requested from the Centre and Rajasthan Government for finding out some middle path after mutual talks soon in order to solve the problem of including the Gujar Samaj in SC/ST list. She said that the agitation of Gujar Samaj was spreading gradually in many states and law and order situation could become worse any time in country due to it. The Chief Minister was addressing the media persons at her official residence 5-Kalidas Marg here today. She appealed to the people of Gujar Samaj of other states including U.P. that they should put forward their demands in peaceful manner and should not take law in their hands at any cost. ********
C.M. assures for no harassment of traders
Lucknow : May 29, 2008 The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Ms. Mayawati while clarifying here regarding the decision of fixing the stock limit for wheat, rice, pulses, food-grain oil-seeds and edible oils said that the directives for fixing the stock limit for these items had been given by the Union Government. The Uttar Pradesh Government had followed the directives of the Centre for fixing the stock limit, she added. Addressing the media persons at her official residence 5-Kalidas Marg, the Chief Minister said that it was the definite opinion of U.P. Government that traders should not be harassed for which the concerning officers had been directed that the permission of District Magistrate or Food Commissioner was necessary before any inspection pertaining to stock limit. Ms. Mayawati said that some persons were misguiding the traders of the State for their own vested political interests. The traders should remain conscious from such people. She assured the traders that there would not be any harassment of the traaders and State Government was fully committed for their welfare and interests. *********

In the directives of the Chief Secretary, it has been said that Principal Secretary will send their tour report to the Chief Secretary and a copy of it will also be send to the Principal Secretary to C.M. The Principal Secretary of the concerning departments after meeting their HODs will issue the necessary directives likewise, to their subordinate headquarter, divisional and district level officers for the inspection and ensuring spot verification during the visit. The Principal Secretary/Secretary and HODs will pay special attention during the review meetings and inspections of their divisions and districts whether their subordinate officers are doing spot verification works during their visits or not. In any slackness is found in this regard, then stern action would be taken against the concerning officers. The Chief Secretary has directed that if any officer has the charge of more than one department then he would simultaneously review all concerning departments and send the reports separately. All the senior officers are expected to follow the directives themselves besides, ensuring the follow-up by their subordinate officers, so that the people could be benefited by the quality development works. **********
A warning to secular parties
The outcome sends out a warning to those secular parties who, in the interest of forming a government, go in for an electoral understanding with the BJP.For long the BJP had been trying to polarise the people along communal lines and had succeeded in weakening the secular forces in Karnataka.
The poll results also reflected the loss of credibility of the Congress and were a comment on the performance of the United Progressive Alliance government at the Centre.
The Centre’s polices, particularly in regard to price rise and the crisis in the agriculture sector, have led to resentment among the people who have rejected the Congress.
The BSP leader said that its candidates had lost because BSP could not match the money power of the BJP and this was the prime reason for the party’s rout.
The BSP votes were concentrated in slums and the BJP wooed the slum dwellers with liquor and money, he alleged.
The BSP candidate from the Tumkur city segment, Veer Dilip Kumar, polled 1,053 votes. Congress candidate from the city, Rafiq Ahmed Shaik, faced defeat by a narrow margin of 1,869 votes.
Berth pangs grip BJP
Five of the six independents whose support is key for the party to hold on to the reins of power, have also been accommodated in the Cabinet.
But several party veterans like Jagadish Shettar, D H Shankara Murthy, B Yogish Bhat and H S Shankaralinge Gowda have been left out, causing a stir in the party.
Notes of discontent in the BJP echoed on the opening day itself for the new government with several senior leaders openly expressing displeasure over their non-inclusion in the 30-member B S Yeddyurappa ministry.
Jagadish Shettar, H S Shankaralinge Gowda and A Narayanaswamy voiced their resentment, even as a section of their supporters took to the streets in Hubli, Mysore and Bangalore demanding justice to their leaders. Both Shettar and Gowda kept away from the swearing-in ceremony.
Shettar wants Home
According to sources, Shettar was keen that he be given Home portfolio. But Yeddyurappa insisted that he take up the Speaker’s post, which Shettar spurned. When the differences persisted till the last minute, Shettar walked away in a huff
Violent protests on Day One
BJP leader Jagadish Shettars supporters staged a demonstration in front of Basaveshwara statue here demanding inclusion of their leader in the Cabinet.
His supporters took to the streets in large numbers in Hubli City where a bus was torched and several others were damaged in stone throwing.
Thirty-six BJP members of the Hubli-Dharwad Municipal Corporation have threatened to submit their resignation en masse on Saturday.
In Anekal, BJP workers stoned five buses in protest against the non-inclusion of V Narayanaswamy in the Ministry. Supporters of H S Shankaralinge Gowda and S A Ramadas took to the streets in Mysore City demanding Cabinet berths to their leaders.

A bus torched on Gadag Road; Shettar’s supporters stage ‘rasta roko’ at three places
DOUSING THE FLAMES: A Fire and Emergency Services personnel putting out the fire inside a NWKRTC bus set ablaze by protesters in Hubli on Friday.
HUBLI: Violence erupted in Hubli on Friday following denial of a berth to the former Minister Jagadish Shettar in the B.S. Yeddyurappa Ministry.
According to police sources, a state road transport bus proceeding to Hubli was stopped near the railway gate on Gadag Road and was torched on Friday evening.
According to them, the commuters were asked to alight from the bus and then it was torched. Before the Fire and Emergency Services personnel could rush to the spot, the bus was gutted.
Five city buses belonging to the North-West Karnataka Road Transport Corporation were damaged after miscreants threw stones at them at Keshwapur, Devangpet Road and Vishweshwar Nagar Road.
Following this, the city bus services were suspended in theses areas and those returning home from work had to face hardship because of lack of commuter transport.
Deputy Commissioner of Police D. Prakash told The Hindu that additional forces had been deployed in the city following the incident and patrolling had been intensified following the torching of the bus.
However, he clarified that so far no one had been arrested in connection with the incidents of violence.
Roads blocked
Meanwhile, several supporters of Mr. Shettar, including women, staged a “rasta roko” at three places.
The supporters blocked the road for several minutes at Keshwapur, Bhairidevarakoppa and Gadag Road and demanded that Mr. Shettar be included in the Cabinet of the newly formed Government.
Resignation threat
The Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Hubli-Dharwad and the corporators of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have threatened to resign in protest against the non-inclusion of Mr. Shettar in the Cabinet. Most supporters of Mr. Shettar had gone to Bangalore on Friday to see Mr. Shettar take oath. They were disappointed when it did not happen. Local BJP leaders told this correspondent that the next course of action would be decided at a meeting.
Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa visited Keshawa Krupa, the RSS headquarters and held talks with the Sangh leaders.He promised that he will follow the guidelines from RSS to rule the State.
Sangh Parivar has a strong presence
K.N. Venkatasubba Rao
Many of them were members of the erstwhile Jan Sangh
BANGALORE: Besides Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa, the first-ever Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Government in the State has many ministers from the ranks of the Sangh Parivar.
Some of them were even with erstwhile Bharatiya Jan Sangh from which the BJP was born in 1982.
The Ministers, who have come from the Rashtriya Swayam Sevak (RSS) ranks are Ramachandra Gowda, V.S. Acharya, R. Ashok, S. Suresh Kumar, Arvind Limbavali, Vishveshwara Hegde Kageri, and Shobha Karndlaje.
Depicting Buddha as Hindu by RSS, specially to the international community, and pretending to respect Him, is a stategy to hoodwink the mases, as was done about Ambedkar. The process started long time back by declaring Buddha as an avatara of god in some times around eighth century and finalised till 12th century. Manohar Joshi, the then Chief Minister of Maharashtra, writing in the Introduction of Dr. Ambedkar’s W&S vol. 16, (1998) does mention Buddha as tenth incarnation of God, knowingly that the Buddhists all over the world do not believe in God, let alone its incarnations. At the same time, an average Aryan Invader Cult takes a great pride that Buddhism was driven away from this land by Adi- Sankara. They ignore that a non-existent religion can not die. Declaring the Buddha as ninth avatara of Vishnu, by the Aryan Invader’s Puranas, was meant to cause confusion in the minds of people with the result that Buddhism came to be treated as a “heretical” and “aesthetic” branch of Invaders. The modern scholars like Kane, Radhakrishnan, Swami Vivekanand and Tilak, have pushed this confusion further back to the time of origin of Buddhism, by saying that Upanishadas are the origin of Buddhist thought, thus claiming both that Buddhism was just a refined “Hinduism”, and also claiming with pride that Buddhism was driven away by the Invaders and it has died down.
As a non-existent tradition or way of life can not die, and as the decline of Buddhism in India is a historical fact, the theory of its origin as a “reformed” Aryan Invaders Cult is false. If Buddhism was a sect of “Hinduism”, then one may well ask the proud supporters of Shankaracharya, what was that religion which was “driven out by Adi Sankara”, as they claim? Was it also Hinduism? This proves that Buddhism is not a sect of Hinduism, which was nonexistant till Muslim conquest.
Buddhism was, is and will continue to be the national Religion of the Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath
Buddhism was the first organized religion in the modern sense of the term “religion”. It succeeded in driving out the Aryan Invaders Cult of sacrifices, but gradually succumbed to the influences of the religion of masses, who had by then, set up Buddha’s images and started temple worship. The fact that at one time Buddhism was the national religion of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharth and was followed by the majority of population, is almost ignored. There is a feeling in the minds of many, that Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharthis and was a Hindu country having always had a majority of Hindus. This again is a misconception. In historical times the population of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharth never had majority of Hindus. Swami Vivekananda, estimated Buddhists to be two thirds of population [L.M.Joshi: 1977: 358] and Dr. Ambedkar says Buddhist were in majority. [W&S, 7, 345] Then there were Jains and Veerashaivas and Tribal religions in addition to Muslims, Sikhs and Christians coming in the later times. Aryan Invaders Cult had lost all the respect of masses as well as princely rulers. They were smarting under this defeat. [Untouchables, W&S vol.7, p.346] They did everything in their power to finish off Buddhism and after Muslim invasion, succeeded in it.
Buddhism was the national religion of the Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath , not only because the Buddha was in Jambudvipa, but because it was the source and inspiration of the national awakening of Great Prabuddha Bharath empires and for the first time, united Jambudvipa that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath in a common cultural synthesis and organization and because unlike the Aryan Invaders cult, which was the religion of the privileged classes, Buddhism was the first religion of the common people, not forced on them, but accepted by their free will and pleasure; and because Buddhism caused progress in science and art, literature and religion, commerce and industry, internal progress and international reputation; and lastly, because no other religion has till this day been able to make Jambudvipa, that is the Freat Prabuddha Bharath a great nation as Buddhism did. [Swami Dharmatirtha, p. 76]
Aryan Invaders Cult usurped Buddhism
Aryan Invaders became the leaders of Buddhism because of their learning, and first disfigured it thoroughly with ritualism and images, and then destroyed its separate organization of monasteries and monks with the help of the foreign masters who came into power. But the Buddhism of Harsha and Nagarjuna did not disappear, it formed the nucleus of the later Hinduism, superadded with horrors of caste. To become the sole leaders of the country and to enforce their system of castes, has always been the prime motive of Aryan Invaders Cult, and if Buddhist order of monks and monasteries had survived, the Aryan Invaders could not have achieved this goal. So they completely destroyed the external institution of Buddhism, the monks and monasteries. Aryan Invaders became the undisputed leaders, and a new popular religion, Hinduism, emerged with important aspect of caste, as Dharmatitha observed:
“… Caste is an entirely independent social order which was neither in the ancient Aryan religion nor in primitive Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath religion nor in Buddhism. It is the unique contribution of the Aryan Invader priests, and none else ever wanted it, until the country lost its national religion and political freedom, and the Aryan Invaders succeeded in imposing the system upon the people almost at the point of the bayonet with of alien masters. [Swami Dharmatirtha, p. 110]
Aryan Invaders Cult does not mean Aryan Invaders alone
As the British Imperialism does not mean the British people and symbolizes a vast system and has numerous votaries among Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath also, Aryan Invaders Cult, similarly, does not signify the Aryan Invaders exclusively, but an ancient order of things of which the Aryan Invaders are the leaders and champions. It stands for the aggregate of ideals, institutions and past history of the socio-religious constitution of the Hindu society. We have to serve the welfare of the entire nation and not the sentiment of separate castes, though Aryan Invaders, or Kshatriyas or others must accept a larger share of the blame for the disaster which has befallen us all. We have to understand that it is the pernicious system which is throttling us all equally, and is the subject of our criticism. A prominent thinker of Maharashtra, Raosaheb Kasbe, has elaborated the subject by saying that, Aryan Invaders are fortunte that, “Aryan Invaders” is a name of Caste as well as of a Varna“, thereby implying Class, this status being bestowed upon them by Smritis. As a class and as a power structure, Aryan Invaders have developed vested interests. Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharth writers divide the history as Aryan Invaders Vs. Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharth , instead of Vedic Vs. non-Vedic, and when the words having Aryan Invaders as one of their components are used by them to criticise these vested interests, the meaning implied is against the power structure and not agaist the caste. If this is a blameworthy mistake, the mistake is committed by the authors of Smritis, specially “Yama smriti”, and they and the later authors desrve the blame. [Kasbe Raosaheb, “hindu muslim prashna aani sawarkara cha hindu rastravaad”, (marathi) Sugawa Publ. 1994, p.242 ff.]
Causes of fall of Buddhism
We saw M. M. Kane’s views and those of other scholars. Caliber of Vajrayani Buddhists was not the cause, neither was the Tantric practices. Buddhist Siddhas were the forerunners of Bhakti cult, which now Hindus claim to be theirs. In this respect Aryan Invaders Cult books must not be relied upon.
Techniques of imposing slavery over the population by the Aryan Invaders Cults were studied. In present times the struggle is amongs the followers of Phule, Shahu, Ambedkar Versus those of Tilak Gandhi Golwalkar. We saw the Sryan Invaders Cult tendency to find faults with Buddhism for country’s ills, like Sawarkar in his “saha soneri pane” blaming Buddhist Ahimsa and ignorng the real reason being Chaturvarna.
Position of women in ancient Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharth has been studied in detail in Pre-Vedic and Vedic times and Buddhist Doctrines and Laws about them contrasted and Manu’s role in their degradation stressed. This continued in Rajput and in middle ages in pre-British times, and got worst during Peshawa rule.
Even today Buddhism is the national Religion of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath
We saw how Buddhism was the national religion of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath and that it is flourishing even now in the garb of Hinduism with superadded Chaturvarna. We saw Buddhism is not a sect of Hinduism, irrespective of false propaganda of RSS. As Dr. Tulsiram, Associate Proffesor, School of International Studies, JNU and editor of Hindi monthly ‘Vishwa Ashvaghosah’, observes the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, has organised a number of “World Hindu Buddhist Conferences”, at Haridwar, Modi Puram, Sarnath, Rajgir, Buddha Gaya, and Lumbini. At these conferences, it is falsely claimed that since Buddhism is an essential part of Hinduism, those who want to embrace Buddhism should embrace Hinduism directly. Also the text books are manipulated e.g. in a class IX book, the Sangha Parivar’s Government in Gujrath has inserted that “the caste system is the greatest gift of Aryans to humankind.” One of the reasons of reasserting Sankrit is preservation of caste. He observes:
“… The religion based on caste system has annihilated millions of Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharth over the centuries. About three million Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharth women have been raped and around one million Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharth killed from the time of Independence. This is 25 times more than number of soldiers killed during the wars fought after independence. That is why Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharth do not need Aryan culture or Hindu Dharma based on caste any more. …” [Dr. Tulsiram, “The Pioneer”, 30 Jan. 2000]
Orphan of Humanity
Buddha was ignored in his own country. Vedantists’ claim that Vedanta alone can save the world and humanity has proved false and let alone saving the world, Hindus did not cultivate any superior virtues and ideals, and deny justice and humanity to their own kith and kin. Failure of Socialist Reformers was because they are steeped in the culture of caste and the religion of deception and exploitation. Same is the condition of the so called Nationalists, who only cultivated regionalism and language struggle and a good number of our Socialists and Nationalists turned out to be rank Capitalists and fanatical Communalists. Of many revolutions against Aryan Invaders Cult, only work of Guru Govind Singh and Sikhism seems to have survived, at least to some extent, being influenced by saints like Kabir and Nanak, all under spirit of Buddhism.
Hindus became Hindus by Conversion
The derogatory sense of the word “Hindu” is forgotten, it is also forgotten that Aryan Invaders Cult did not like to be called as Hindus, not a long time back and that Hindus became Hindus by a sort of mass conversion or mass classification by the Muhammadans, and the various castes acquired their status by a similar process of mass classification behind their backs by the Aryan Invaders Cult first and lastly by the British Government by laws made for them. We saw that Hinduism is not a religion in the sense in which Buddhism Muhammadanism and Christianity are. It is a loose conglomeration of castes, which is described by one author as a “grocery shop”, where the comodity called “grocery” is not sold. Therefore, all those who are not Muhammadans or Christians are treated as Hindus, where all types of worship is allowed, as long as Aryan Invaders supremacy is maintained. Even for these Christians and Mohamedans, Aryan Invaders have plans to incorporate in Hinduism and terms like “Mohemadi Hindus” are already coined for them, and full preparations are going on for its implementation. Also plans are afoot to create new ‘Swastika’ temples for such “purified” Christians. Thus the vagueness of Hinduism is a virtue for them, and language of Vedanta is the garb of camaflouge of equality, which help in the desire of Aryan Invader elites to govern the OBCs. Arrogance of Aryan Invaders, who rule Hindus, did not change since the times of Abbe Dobois, neither did their attitude towards women.
Suggestions for nation building
The constructive thoughts and efforts and guiding as to what must be done as advised by Swamiji are summerised in the ability to evolve new ideals and institutions to embody the spirit of the collective life and will and avoid an obstinate clinging to mere existence and past glories. India had been suffering under the two imperialisms, Aryan Invaders Cult and British placed one above the other, and three tests of Hindu Nationalism should be (1) Opposition to caste, (2) opposition to priestcraft and idolatry, and (3) Inter-religious tolerance and fraternisation. It must be realised that more nationalism persisted in the past before the British arrived, and there was more fellow feeling in teachings of saints, inspired by Buddhism.
Modus operandi of Aryan Invaders Cult to enslave Hindus
That the kalivarjya was the method of Aryan Invaders to tackle the Buddhist influence over the masses and impose their supremacy. All laws and rules, were amended including Civil, Criminal, Revenue and Personal laws, without actually condemning them. Who suffered in Kalivarjya were the OBCs due to failure of export of their productions. These are the masses of which Indian society is made of, and it is the need of the day to educate them. The process of emancipation of masses was started by Mahatma Phule, strengthened by Shahu, and put in Indian Constitution by Dr. Ambedkar. Now it is the duty of masses to protect the Constitution, if they want to protect themselves from oncoming Aryan Invaders tyranny.
Decline and fall of Buddhism
Techniques in causing decline and fall of buddhism, the Caliber of Vajrayani Buddhists, the methods of Aryan Invaders Cult Conquest by peaceful means, the domestic and sexual invasion in Kerala are discussed, and the role of Shankara explained. Various techniques of Aryan Invaders Cult controls, the difference between Local and Regional Aryan Invaders Cult the admission of kings to Varna System, the extension of Varna system, the Extension of Sanskritic deities, the creation and developement of ceremonial and the Sanskritisation of names of places discussed and the social self of Aryan Invaders explained. It was seen how Buddha’s Sangha was captured by Aryan Invders, and how Aryan Invaders destroyed Buddhism from outside also and how Kautilya checked growth of Buddhism and how Buddhism tried to thwart attempts of Aryan Invaders Cult and how Aryan Invaders Cult crushed Nationalism.
Foreign invasions
The foreigners like Shakas, Pahlavas Hunas etc. were assimilated by Buddhist ideals and not the Aryan Invaders Cult, and the Hindu Muslim Conflict would not have been there if Buddhism was alive at the time of Muslim invasion. We saw the Aryan Invaders had comunications links with foreign forces and that they obtained foreign help to topple kings unwanted for them.
About the conditions at the time of arrival of Europeans, Raja Sekhar Vundru, IAS, former JNU student writes:
“Vasco da Gama landed in 1498 in Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath, a veritable social hell for the Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath. Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath feeding on carcasses, lurking like animals in the day with a status worse than an animal and conditions of life worse than a million genocides of a Hitler. The greatness of Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharathlies in their confidence to accept the ultra sub-human existence and breed dasyus, menials, slave, asuras, chandalas and untouchables: unparalleled and unrecorded in the history of world civilizations.” [Raja Sekhar Vundru, “The Pioneer”, Dalit Millennium Issue, 30 Jan. 2000]
How Hindus enjoyed Aryan Invaders Cult slavery?
The evils of Hindu caste system are well known. The theory of karma castrated the society and deprived all the masses from the motivation to revolt against the domination and atrocities of the priestly class, making all the Hindus the slaves of Aryan Invaders. We know that Rigvedic Society had only three Varnas. The fourth varna, i.e. of Shudras was added by “purusha-sukta“, late in Buddhist times and was a planned to destroy the egalatarian Buddhist society, to stop Kshatriya revolt against Aryan Invaders and to stop the flow of Shudras towards Buddha’s Dhamma.
We discussed the sexual behaviour of Aryans and how the ancient Aryan society did not have the marriage institution as we believe it today, or rather had no marriage institution at all. The barbarous Aryan society considered no relationship like brother- sister, father-daughter. Rajwade has explained how the priests had to satisfy the sexual demand of any woman approaching them at the time of yajnyas, then and there in open ground, in presence of Vedic fire. The Buddha fought against this and included vow to abstain from mithyachara, i.e. improper behaviour in sexual matters, among the five shilas.
Conversion from three varna society to four varna society was a great revolution in Aryan society, and entry of shudras into Chaturvana system, transformed savage society to rural one, claims Rajwade. But the Buddha discarded Varna System, where Shudras were made the beasts of burden with all the forced labour duties and no rights. Buddhists had no caste and Ashokan Society was integrated and that caste revived on the decay of Buddhism and emergence of Shaivism and Vaishnavism around 8th century A.D.
The productive castes suffered in Kalivarjya, one of the means adopted by Aryan Invaders to dominate Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath. The national Religion was destroyed by Caste System and Caste hierarchy with Aryan Invaders having vested interests. They grew most powerful with the duty of kings being enjoined to worship Aryan Invaders, whose arrogance was not an empty claim and Aryan Invaders ruled over masses also not only the kings. Free Lands and houses were given to them, with no taxes and no fear of punishments. Secular powers were also exercised by Aryan Invaders and Aryan Invaders Sabhas had power over all castes. Dharma Sastras were recasted in Muslim Rule and laws amended to establish Aryan Invaders supremacy. Means employed by Aryan Invaders to enslave Hindus included Punishments and Ordeals on Caste basis, and false philosophies created to support immoral acts to distort the religion. Buddhism had tried to save masses from Aryan Invaders Cult slavery but in vain. We know how Vijaynagar Empire was a seat of exploitation of masses and Aryan Invaders Cult was punished for the crimes.
Scheduled Tribes (aadivaasi)
Fall of Buddhism saw the rise of untouchables, the so called criminal tribes and Aadivaasis. Their problems are discussed, explaining differences between Castes and Tribes and origins of various names. Their history is traced from Prehistoric Period and it is explained that they are not remenents of Neolithic Age but are post Buddhistic. We know how IndusValley civilization did not belong to Aryans, how Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath was land of Naagas and its language Tamil, and how Vratyas were Naagas. We know history of the Sisunaaga Dynasty, that Naaga worship is non-Vedic and Naagas were Buddhists. There was a casteless society among the Naaga culture, Naagas having their Republics. We know the denegration of Naagas in Mahabharata, which opens with a curse on Naagas. We know Naaga Rajas in Kashmir and Rise of Buddhism there with Ahimsa of Buddha, and studied Serpent worship during Mauryan Dynasty, the times of Naagaarjuna and Kanishka, the Buddhist Sculptures and that Ayrans created writings, whereas Naagas created structures. We studied importance of Tribal Population in Sanchi and Amaravati Stupas and antiquity of Naaga clans.
Other effects of Fall of Buddhism
We know other efects of Caste culture were deprivation of Education and spread of illiteracy and how fall of Buddhism directly affected the multitudes of population, who were denied education. How Gurukul system was detrimental to the interests of masses is explained and how a most educated country, where foreign scholars were coming to take higher education in Jambudviap, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath Universities, became the most illiterate country of the world due to fall of Buddhism is explained.
We know how position of women detoriated and ultimately reached to the stage of burning of widows. We know that Rajput Age was Dark Age of Jambudvipa, thatis the Great Prabuddha Bharath and how Aryan Invaders created Rajputs to get hold over the population, and how it caused the degradation and fall of Jambudvipa, thatis the Great Prabuddha Bharath masses.
Kulin system of Bengal: was created to increase the population who would be willing to accept the supremacy of Aryan Invaders and all the ill effects of this System is explained.
Sambandham System of Kerala: Aryan Invaders managed to gain control over the Buddhist Nayars by this method of “Cultural fertilization” and it destroyed the cultural fabric of old Kerala society.
Devadasis: A system of Religious prostitution is discussed. It was put forward by the present author, for the first time, that Devadasis were degraded Buddhist nuns, in his book in 1991, “Tirupati Balaji was a Buddhist Shrine”. The subject is discussed more fully here.
Fall of Science: How Science was on zenith in Buddhist Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath and Aryan Invaders purposefully caused its fall to uphold their own supremacy after the fall of Buddhism.
Kashmir Problem: A Buddhist country of Kashmir became Mohammedan country, thereby leading to all the present problems is discussed.
Language Problem: Acountry, which speaking one language and one or two scripts during the Buddhist period was divided into a country of multiple languages and scripts.
The Remedies
The reason why need to know the history is to guide us in future. If that purpose is not served, it has no meaning. The rulers of the society know it. Therefore, those who like that the oppressors should keep on oppressing and sufferers should go on suffering, never wish that the masses should know the real history. They present only those aspects of history which suits them, even distorting the facts. To find the cure, one has to know and understand the cause of ailments. If the interpretation of the history is on proper lines, the remedies would be correct. There is no doubt that now all realize that the real cause of all the ills of this country has been its religion. If this is realized, the ills can be cured and Indian masses can see the bright future. We narrate the views of some of the prominent thinkers.
In key note address at the recent “Bahujan Conference” at Nagpur by a prominent OBC thinker and writer, expressed his views on the future course of action to be taken by OBCs. He stressed the importance of realizing the principle that OBCs and the Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath are co-sufferers. They should make it a point that they will neither tolerate the injustice done by others, nor would commit injustice against others. Vedic culture came into being after the destruction of Indus Culture. Among those who opposed Vedic culture, prominent was the Buddha and his movement was much more powerful than that of Phule, Shahu and Ambedkar. [’Prabuddha Bharat‘, 30.4.2000]
Amartya Sen got the Nobel Prize, he said, but did not get enough publicity in Indian media, not even as much as the Beauty Contests did. The reason was that while discussing the Asian cultural history, Sen pointed out that the main reason why education did not reach the grass root levels in Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath was that machinery of education remained in the hands of fistful of priests, and that as contrasted against this, education reached the people at bottom levels of society in the other neighbouring nations like Ceylon and others, because they were following Buddhism. The Bahujans must realize that a person who declares these facts would not get any appreciation from the established society here. [’Prabuddha Bharat‘, 30.4.2000]
Amartya Sen, when questioned by journalists about his preceptor and the father of his ideals on Welfare State, had acknowledged the Buddha as his ‘guru’ and Ashoka as his ideal, a fact which never appeared in any Aryan Invaders Cult media. [Speech by P. S. Changole at Aurangabad, ‘Prabuddha Bharat‘, 30.4.2000]
He explained how Indus Culture was followed by Vedic onslaught, how Buddhism was followed by Counter-revolution by Manu, how Saints and Shivaji was followed by Peshawai and now how after the revolution of Phule, Shahu and Ambedkar we are faced with danger of destruction of this system by Aryan Invaders Cult counter- revolution by the R.S.S. If we wish to avert this calamity the Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great prabuddha Bharath must sort out the points of conflicts and unite. [’Prabuddha Bharat‘, 30.4.2000]
He urged the OBCs to discard Wamana as an incarnation, and questioned how he can be our ideal instead of Bali. He also opined that OBC youths should reexamine the ‘Gita‘, and if it teaches you to follow the duties of ‘Chaturvarnya‘, you would be required to throw it away. ‘Gita‘ talks of ’swadharma’, which does not mean Hindu or Islam religion, it means ‘Chaturvarna dharma‘’. He asked OBCs to evaluate the history of the Buddha through their own values instead of those of Manu, Shankara or Aryan Invaders Cult books. He asked them to examine their own religion and ask themselves what exactly, it offers them. It offers nothing but slavery, he stressed. [’Prabuddha Bharat‘, 30.4.2000]
He averred that it is a false history, taught to us that Shankara defeated Buddhism, but if he had evolved some strategy and helped its decline, not only for Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great prabuddha Bharath, but also even for people in grass root level, and for those who call themselves as Kshatriyas and for Marathas and Kunbis and OBCs, it was not a golden day of glory but it is was a moment of pushing them into darkness and slavery. He advised that the sufferings of Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great prabuddha Bharath are the sufferings of OBCs, and vice versa. We are not fighting against any caste, not even Aryan Invaders, but against a system of inequality imposed over Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great prabuddha Bharath by the religious books. Some OBCs think they are Kshatriyas, and should side with Aryan Invaders because of our scriptures which condemn the ‘Shudras’ and not the ‘Kshatriyas’. Their mentality is to accept the slavery of Aryan Invaders but not to consider Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great prabuddha Bharath equal to themselves. But if you inspect the reality, you would find that not only Ekalavya and Shambuka suffered but also Tukaram, who was an OBC, suffered. For the scriptures, Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great prabuddha Bharath and OBCs are both ‘Shudras’ and both deserve condemnation and are deprived from their rights. Today OBCs are projected as neo- Kshatriyas and made to fight against Muslims and Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great prabuddha Bharath, but they must not forget that they are being used as tools and will the thrown away after their utility ends. If the merit is important, there is no doubt that Shivaji’s merit as a ‘Kshatriya‘ was proved. Why then his coronation was opposed by the Aryan Invaders of Maharashtra. Today Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great prabuddha Bharath honour Shivaji and Shahu with full reverence, not as a strategy or convenience, but from the bottom of their hearts, then why OBCs should not honour Ambedkar likewise? [’Prabuddha Bharat‘, 30.4.2000] Similar views are expressed by him later in “First Maratha Sahitya Sammelan” held very recently at Amravati in Vidarbha. This literary meet of Marathas was highly maligned by Brahmanical press and scholars.
Aryan Invaders attitude towards Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath
The attitude of elitist media towards these people.
“Media explosion finds news value in Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great prabuddha Bharath only when they are killed. Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great prabuddha Bharath do not see themselves as victims of atrocities. Atrocities are part of their daily life. For Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great prabuddha Bharath persecution is as old as Shambuka, denial as old as Eklavya; revolution as old as Buddha; valor as old as Asura; slavery as old as dasyu and untouchability as old as touch. Nevertheless, Manudharma’s tentacles are wide spread and all-compassing.” [Raja Sekhar Vundru, “The Pioneer”, Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great prabuddha Bharath Millennium Issue, 30 Jan. 2000]
The best remedy is as uggested by Late Manyawar dadasahib Kanshram ji ‘B Media 4 Sarvajan Hithaya Sarvajan Sukhaya’.
Each and every elite and educated of Sarv Samj in general and Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great prabuddha Bharath in particular must become the media to counter the anti-Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great prabuddha Bharath propaganda of the Aryan Invaders Cult media. Thay must start their own News Papers, since Aryan Invaders News Papers are just their Views Papers & the media is controlled by the Moneyed, Mafia & Manuvadis.
The Educated and the elite Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great prabuddha Bharath must start their own websites and blogs and write about the need for empower themselves and spread Dhamma for the welfare and happiness for all.
When Dr. Ambedkar was trying for “Hindu Code Bill”, which was to remove the injustice on Hindu women, Jereshastri the then Shankarachrya of Sankeswara Pitha, wrote:
“… Milk or Ganges water may be holy, but if it comes through a nallah or a gutter, it can not be considered sacred. Similarly, the ‘Dharmasastra’ howsoever it may be authentic, it can not be considered authentic because it has come from a ‘Mahar’ like Dr. Ambedkar. Ambedkar is a scholar, it is said that his study of scriptures is great, but he is an ‘antyaja’. How can the Ganga of Scriptures comming from the nallah of Ambekar be holy? It must be discardable like milk comming from the gutter…”
Quoting this passage from ‘Nav Bharat‘, daily, 21 Jan. 1950, Yashwant Manohar observes, even the women for whose liberation was this Bill opposed it. We see today these women participating in hindutwavadi organizations. They opposed Mandal Commission, and they still oppose the reservation of OBC and other women, however, they demand right to priesthood. [Yashwant Manohar:, 1999: p.73]
Our religion and Constitution must not have contradictions
In his last speech during Sarnath visit in 1956, Dr. Ambedkar spoke to students, as reported by Nanak Chand Rattu, in Benares University Hall. Speaking on Adi Shankara philosophy, he said that if the Aryan Ivaders pervaded all, a Aryan Invader and an untouchable were equal. But Shankara did not apply his doctrine of Aryan Invader to social organization and kept the discussions only on Vedantic level. Had he applied it on a social level and preached social equality, his proposition would have been profound and worth consideration, in spite of his belief in the world being an illusion. Rattu reports:
“He, therefore, asked the students whether they would follow Hindu scriptures which supported graded inequality propounded by Purush Sukta and give religious sanction to social inequality or whether they would stand by the principles of liberty, equality and fraternity propounded in the Constitution, and refute the graded inequality preached by the Hindu scriptures.” [Rattu: 1997: 99]
How Buddhist Books reached West
Arrogance and hatred against Buddhism is seen by the fact that around 1816 A.D. after Nepal was settled under British rule, Brian Hodgson came there as Assisant to the Resident in a newly opened Office. He obtained many MSS from Buddhist pundits like Amrutananda, and sent the collection to Asiatic Society of Bengal and to Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath House in Paris and other libraries. Once, Minister Rana Bahadur Jang of Nepal seized a Buddhist Vihar and threw away all the books in the street. Dr. Wrights, who was Physician to British Resident got it collected and presented to the CambridgeUniversity. From these sourses Burnuff and his disciple Max Muller compiled early history of Buddhism. [Kasbe: 1996: 315]
How Upnishads reached West
It is also interesting to know that it was Dara Shukoh, brother of Emperor Aurangjeb, who got many Upnishads translated into Persian through pundits of Kashi. These were later translated into Latin. Duparron obtained a copy from a French scholar M. Gentyl in court of Sirajuddolah, and later Burneere took it to France on his trip to Bengal in 1775 A.D., and translated into French, and later published in Latin. Weber commented on these in his “Jambudvipa,that is Prabuddha Bharath Studies”. The South Jambudvipa,that is Prabuddha Bharath collection was published for the first time in 1851 by W. Elliot in Journal of Asiatic Society in Bengal, and later translated and incorporated in ‘Bibliotheca India‘. [Kasbe: 1996: 228]
Jabalopnishad
That the main target of Aryan Invaders Cult was the OBCs, in ancient times as it is today, is clear from more sourses than one. Kasbe describes one instance where OBCs are equated with impotents etc. According to him, “Jabaloupnishad”, which is a later Upnishad, is highly venomous to the orthdox as they believe it planted the seeds of starting of Buddhism and destruction of Vedic religion. The reason was it had allowed renunciation of household duties and accepting the “pravajya” any time, wihout going through the tradional Ashramas. Ahitagni Shankar Ramchandra Rajwade, a Vedic scholar, criticised bitterly this upnishad in his criticism of ‘nasdiya sukta bhashya‘, saying that when a sentence ‘yadahrev virjettdahrev pravajet‘ appeared in this upnishad, it paved the way for all the “bungled and botched” ‘vratyas’, ‘patitas’ etc. for a life of “Liberty-Equality- Fraternity”, thereby reducing the importance of Aryan Invaders in the society. Though Jabalopnishad advocated ‘sanyas‘ at any age, there were upnishands that time in existence asking for taking sanyas after all three ashramas, and also upnishadas which included the ‘Kumbhar‘ (potter), and ‘Teli‘ (oilmen) among the list of those for whom ‘sanyas‘ was prohibited, like to impotent, outcaste, deaf, dumb etc. [Raosaheb Kasbe, “manav aani dharm chintan”, Sugawa, Pune, 1996, p. 223]
A neglected message from Dr. Ambedkar to OBCs
An article was published recently in Marathi local magazine by Suhas Sonwane based on daily Loksatta. The following is a gist of it, translated from Marathi.
Mr. Gawande, a close friend of Dr. Ambedkar, who was then the Law Minister in Nehru Cabinet in 1947, asked for a message for the Maratha people to be published in the Souvenir of “Maratha Mandir” of Bombay. Ambedkar declined saying that he had no relation with the Organization or the Marathas, but on persistent insistence, a message was given and published in the souvenir on 23rd March 1947. It was made available by Shri Vijay Survade recently and was undocumented till now. Dr. Ambedkar said:
“This principle will apply not only to Marathas but all Backward Castes. If they do not wish to be under the thumb of others they should concentrate on two things, one is politics and the other is education.”
“One thing I like to impress on you is that the community can live in peace only when it has enough moral but indirect pressure over the rulers. Even if a community is numerically weak, it can keep its pressure over the rulers and create its dominance as is seen by the example of status of present day Aryan Invaders in India. It is essential that such a pressure is maintained, as without it, the aims and policies of the state can not have proper direction, on which depends the development and progress of the state.”
“At the same time, it must not be forgotten that education is also important. Not only elementary education but higher education is most essential to keep ahead in competition of communities in their progress.”
“Higher education, in my opinion, means that education, which can enable you to occupy the strategically important places in State administration. Aryan Invaders had to face a lot of opposition and obstacles, but they are overcoming these and progressing ahead.”
“I can not forget, rather I am sad, that many people do not realize that the Caste system is existing in Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath for centuries because of inequality and a wide gulf of difference in education, and they have forgotten that it is likely to continue for some centuries to come. This gulf between the education of Aryan Invaders and Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath will not end just by primary and secondary education. The difference in status between these can only be reduced by higher education. Some non-Brahmins must get highly educated and occupy the strategically important places, which has remained the monopoly of Aryan Invaders since long. I think this is the duty of the State. If the Govt. can not do it, institutions like “Maratha Mandir” must undertake this task.”
“I must emphasize one point here that middle class tries to compare itself with the highly educated and well placed and well to do community, whereas lower class all over the world has same fault. The middle class is not as liberal as upper one, and has no ideology as lower one, which makes it enemy of both the classes. The middle class Marathas of Maharashtra also have this fault. They have only two ways out, either to join hands with upper classes and prevent the lower classes from progress, and the other is to join hands with lower classes and both together destroy the upper class power coming against the progress of both. There was a time, they used to be with lower classes, now they seem to be with the upper class. It is for them to decide which way to go. The future of not only Indian masses but also their own future depends upon what decision the Maratha leaders take. As a matter of fact it all should be left to the skill and wisdom of the leaders of Marathas. But there seems to be a lack of such wise leadership among the Marathas.”
What he said about Marathas, equally applies to all OBCs, and still holds true after half a century. Dr. Ambedkar wrote much to educate the OBCs. It is only now that OBCs are awakening gradually. It must not be forgotten that the future of this country depends on them.
Buddhist “Bahujan” meant Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath
Vedic social stucture was created for supremacy of Aryan Invaders and it was not possible to liberate all the Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Bharath masses without destroying it. “Bahujan Samaj” of Buddha was not the middle castes like Kunbis, Telis and Malis but comprised of all Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Bharath - Kunbis Telis to Mang Mahars and Nomadic and ex- Criminal tribes, opined Ambedkarite laureate Yashwant Manohar. [’Prabuddha Bharat‘, 30.4.2000]
OBC Problem
It is not properly realized that the ultimate fate of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Bharath depends upon what course of action the OBCs take. The Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Bharath have already made their choice, that they do not wish to lead a life of Slavery under the Aryan Invaders. As a matter of fact, they always wished to free themselves from it one way or the other. If the present movement of Ambedkar for Deekhsha to Buddhism is sabotaged and if it fails, they would find other alternatives. It is for the OBCs to decide what they wish to do, whether to join Ambedkarite movement or to join Aryan Invaders Cult movement. That the political power in Independent democratic Jambudvipa, that is the Great Bharath is mostly in the hands of the OBCs, is technically speaking, true. But the real power evades them. What is the reason? There is a lot of awakening among them, these days, and everybody seems to be searching for the solution, but the real reason is elluding them. The real reason, in our opinion, is that these people are not concerned with their “Cultural Slavery” under the Aryan Invaders.
Examples of Aryan Invaders hostility towards OBCs
OBC youth in Maharashtra had demanded of the Government that certain books which had deroatory remarks about OBCs be banned. The then Govt. of Maharashtra under Sharad Pawar had declared the ban. But perhaps it was not effected. The President of Marathi Sahitya Sammelan held at Panaji (Goa) a few years back, Shri Ram Shewalkar, then criticised the Maharashtra Govt. for this decision as, he claimed, it was against the “freedom of speech”, going out of the way by speaking what was not in the written speech.
The then Chairman of the Marathi Sanskruti Mandal, a Govt. organization for promotion of literature, criticised that an OBC saint Tukdoji Maharaj, who played a great role during Independance movement, is termed as “Rashtra Sant”, and in his opinion, only a Aryan Invader saint Ramdas deserved this appellation.
Recently the word “Kunbi” was shown to have been included in a dictionary mentioned having derogatory meaning, for which the publisher had to apologise.
At all these times, OBCs had protested. Sometimes, in their caste functions, they talk of denouncing the Aryan Invaders slavery. They talk that Eklavya was deceived by Dronacharya, that killing of Shambuka was wrong. But they can not deny the grip of cultural slavery on their minds. They can not demand that the name of Dronacharya given to the highest award in Sports be withdrawn. They can not stop participating in “Ganesh Festival” started by B. G. Tilak, and which was then criticised by the Mahatma Phule’s followers in Satya Shodhak Samaj and requested a ban on it.
As a matter of fact, the relationship of Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Bharath to ‘upper’ castes in all the political parties run by Aryan Invaders, as various teams from A to E of Aryan Invaders Cult in Kanshiram’s terms, is like Ram and Hanuman, as put forward by Kancha Ilaiah, whose observation about Congress applies to all parties under Aryan Invaders Cult control:
“…The Congress was systematically moulded into being a bhadralok party. They talked about the welfare of the Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Bharath castes, while all the state resources were cornered by the Hindus. The relationship between an ‘upper’ caste man and a Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Bharath caste man within Congress was like that between Rama and Hanuman. It is a common knowledge that Hanuman was a South Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Bharath who joined the imperial army of Rama to fight against the South Jambudvipa, that is the Great Bharath Nationalist ruler - Ravana. Hanuman worked day in and day out in the interest of ‘Ramrajya’ (an anti- Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath and anti-woman kingdom), yet his place in the administration was marginal and subservient. Similarly, all the Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath activists who joined the Congress party were given subservient places in the party hierarchy. Their main task was to mobilize the masses, and organize the ‘praise melas’ of ‘upper’ caste Congress leaders in whose name they would carry the party flag. They would organize the photographers to publicize the images of ‘upper’ caste Congress leaders. The aim of an average ‘upper’ caste Congress leader would be to mould every Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Bharath into a trustworthy Hanuman. While Ambedkarism was creating a small force of conscious people among Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Bharath who were trying to organize into an autonomous political force, a large number were (perhaps for the sake of fringe benefits that the Congress administration could offer, perhaps for other reasons) willing to be Hanumans. [p.58]
Kancha Ilaiah, himself an OBC, has very convincingly put forward that the process of “Sanskritisation”, i.e. elevating one’s own caste, without demolishing the framework of Chaturvarna can never end the Aryan Invaders Cult domination. Describing how various methods of Sanskritisation are futile, he observed:
“…Sanskritization process did not dilute caste identities and caste based humiliations. Many Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath who got Sanskritized later realized that Sanskritization is no solution to Hindu barbarity. This is the why Ambedkar embraced Buddhism to build a counterculture to Hinduism, and Periyar Ramasamy Naiker attempted to establish the hegemony of Dravida culture by attacking Hindu culture and Hindu Gods.” [Kancha Ilaiah, “Why I am not a Hindu”, publ. Samaya, Calcutta, third reprint 1998, p.70]
Kancha Ilaiah, strongly advocates ‘Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharathisation ’ - signifying dignity of labour rather than of leisure and combining physical and mental knowledge as Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath do - rather than hinduization, of the civil society, state and administrative apparatus, which is the real solution to the problems of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath. He feels that only through liberation of Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath that the rest of the society, namely, the ‘upper castes’ can be liberated. And this process, which could be “very painful and tortuous” should start with addressing to the UC women, who also feel that Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath are the “others”, but are receptive to Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath questions, as they seem to prefer “divorce and remarriage” of Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath to “wife-murder” policy of UCs. [p.129]
Second thing he recommends is the capture of Hindu temples by expelling Aryan Invaders, for the wealth they hold, convert them into centres of public education, taking care that the Aryan Invaders Cult god culture does not get assimilated into Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath culture. It is comparatively easier for neo-Kshatriyas to unlearn many things than baniyas and Aryan Invaders, but he warns that this anti-caste revolution may be more tortuous than the ‘proletarian cultural revolution’ in China. He avers about the NRIs that the post capitalist markets into which these NRIs are integrated did not de-caste them as is very clear from their pro-Hindutva proclamations from abroad. [Kancha, p.131]
Examples of OBC awakening
Apart from Dr. Salunkhe’s advice to OBCs, there are other indicaters of OBC awakening. A recent literary meet of “Mana” community in Maharashtra declared themselves to be of “Naaga” clan and associated themselves with the Buddhist culture, denying the Aryan Invaders’ one. The important Adivasis are already dissociating themselves from the hindutvavadis and associating with Ambedkarites, in spite of strong propaganda by BSO of converting them into “Vanavasis”. Everybody is realizing that the way of liberation is the fight against the caste and Aryan Invaders supremacy.
Ambedkar’s Efforts for Adivasis
All these people are now realizing that Dr. Ambedkar had struggled a lot for Adivasis also. We must strive for upliftment of BCs and Adivasis said Dr. Ambedkar. The purpose of keeping them in sub-clause (2) of Hindu Code Bill was to make some provision for them and Hindu Law would “apply to them only if it is proved that Hindu customs and Hindu usages are prevallent in that class”, and it will not apply to them unless “they have adopted the customs.” [W&S, vol. 14 part 2, p.886-7]
Ambedkar asked for right of Adult franchise for Adivasis, in 1928, Simon Commision Statemnt, commenting that Legislatures are the places where “social battles have to be fought, previlages have to be destroyed, and rights have to be won”. He avered that their illeteracy should not come in way of giving them right to vote, as even an illiterate is intellegent and knows his welfare. [W&S, vol.2, p.471]
Disagreeing with the Britishers’ idea of keeping the Adivasis segregated, during the evidence taken before the joint Committee on Indian Constitutional Reforms in 1933, he professed the ideal that these primitive people should not remain primitive and they should cease to be an isolated part of humanity and take part in the public affairs of this country like others. That they must not loose their lands and be landless labourers and their lands be protected from money lendes by suitable Laws. The education is more neccesary for BCs and Adivasis, more than anybody else, he said, and wanted adequate representation for them in legislature assuring the friendship of many BCs. [W&S, vol.2, p.737 ff.]
“Jati Todo Samaj Jodo”
One thing is sure that Mayawati and Kanshiram talk of “Jati Todo Samaj Jodo“, which does not mean, as VTR seems to suggest, that they advocate consolidation of each caste. On the contrary, they say break your own caste, forget about wellbeing of only your caste and strive for making up a “Bahujan Samaj” identity, which alone can convert the minority into majority as Aryan Invaders Cult has broken the society into various castes numbering about six thousand. It should be our aim to unite these various castes into one identity of “Bahujan”. They believe that political solution is the most important method and quote Ambedkar that political power is the master key to all the ailments of Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath. They point out to the tremendous work that has been done in U.P. in a short span of her rule there. They have not tried to strengthen only Chamar caste, as is presumed by VTR. They have asked to strengthen all Bahujans to come together and work for common good of all Bahujans including Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath. They never worked for “separate but equal” castes. Neither Dr. Ambedkar, nor Shahu, nor Phule worked on the lines mentioned by VTR. They always worked to bring all together, demolishing walls among the castes, never ever, they advocated salvation of any individual caste or that of an individual person within a caste. A well known letter by Dr. Ambedkar to a Mang youth is proof thereof.
G. P. Deshpande, Prof. Of International politics at JNU and a theater personality in Delhi advises that a caste-group is never a leader and Dr. Ambedkar never thought so either. What he identified was central contradiction in Indian society epitomised in and by the Varna and Jati system. The transformative movement that Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath needs so badly today should take note of this understanding. Ambedkar’s relevance lies precisely in this approach in building a wider social base. The present Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath movement, Deshpande comments, is yet to define itself and demonstrate that it is conscious of the whole within which it is to function, and avers that it has as much relevance for Savarnas and upper castes as it has for the Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath and other classes. He concludes:
“Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath, today, have to realise that it is all a question of hegemony. He also has to realise that in matters of politics and culture, he will provide leadership only if his politics is of genuine ‘jatyanta’ (end of caste). Interests of caste have to be secondary to the interests of end of caste.” [G. P. Deshpande, “The Pioneer”, Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharathMillennium Issue, 30 Jan. 2000]
Kancha Ilaiah
He laments that Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath are the oldest people of the globe, and yet have no calender of their own and a largest group in the world without the own individual dates of birth. They invented through their scientific approach to production by counting seeds, birds and animals the ‘concept of zero’, which was “patented” by Bana Bhatta, an Aryan Invader. These first invaders, the Aryan Hindus, condemned the discovery of tool making, leather making, and wool weaving as Chandala processes.
The degradation of Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath was achieved through two methods - danda and mantra, first ‘Danda’ i.e. violence and second ‘Mantra’ i.e. by developing the consent systems. As an example of second, he observes:
“Did not Hinduism make us do the same thing when it forced us to celebrate the birthday of Rama as Ramnavami, a dateless day, a man who killed my ancestors Tataka, Vali, Shambhuka and Ravana, and cut off the nose and earlobes of most beautiful woman of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath, Shurpanakha? What a difference in godhood.” [Kancha Ilaiah, “The Pioneer”, 30 Jan. 2000]
“Post independent Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath has not given the Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath anything except a saga of atrocities. The Hinduism that rendered this country calenderless is forcing all Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath to call themselves Hindus. I made my position very clear that “I am not a Hindu” as I cannot worship the very gods who killed my ancestors. My predicament is that of Angada, the son of Bali who was killed by Rama and while his father’s dead body lying there he was forced to worship the killer of his father, Rama. I refuse to do that.” [Kancha Ilaiah, “The Pioneer”, 30 Jan. 2000]
Describing the sufferings of Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath for last two thousand years, Kancha Ilaiah describes:
“In the first millennium, the Shudras along with the Chandalas suffered all kinds of atrocities at the hands of the Hindu rulers who constructed a Swarna Yuga (golden age) of their own during political rule of Guptas. It was during this period that the scientific temper the Shudras constructed among themselves was destroyed and they were pushed into most dark period of their life. During the first millennium Manu Dharma as law and Kauttilya’s brutal state craft were brought into force and they destroyed all the creative ability of the Shudras, Chandalas and Adivasis (SCAs). Except the text ‘Mritchakatika‘ by Shudraka, all other texts including ‘Megha Sandesha’ by Kalidasa were written in the image of Brahmanical leisure- centered classes. The history of SCAs from then was rendered invisible and non-existent.” [Kancha Ilaiah, “The Pioneer”, 30 Jan. 2000]
“… By the beginning of the second millennium, Aryan Invaders, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas (AIKVs) had eaten away the vitals of Subcontinent. These three leisure and pleasure centered castes lived in celestial and spiritual luxuries and sexual orgies. During this period, the AIKVs destroyed the Buddhist ethical and productive life and also symbols of that civilization and errected erotic temples translating the sexual pleasure-centered discourse of Vatsayana’s ‘Kamasutra’ culture into sculpture at the cost of enormous labour power of the unpaid sculptors. All the sculptors came from the SCA backgrounds. Investment of wealth and labour on constructing structures like Khajuraho and Konark reflected the negative cultural mould of the ruling castes/classes. No single structure that reflected the productive culture of people was errected during the period.” [Kancha Ilaiah, “The Pioneer”, 30 Jan. 2000]
Gail Omvedt
Today as Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath heads into new millennium, its own sixth millennium of civilization, it has no clear vision of where it is going, kind of society it wants and how it proposes to build it, she laments and emphasizes, the fervor of freedom fighters and Nehruvian socialism are gone and “Gandhian version of Hinduism is empty now”, and its modern ‘avatar‘, the environmentalists wish the revival of traditional forms of production and culture in the form of “Ram Raj”. She feels that neither Gandhism, nor socialism are more than empty terms in India, and Hindutva Nationalism alternative is itself based upon the Brahmanic version of Indian tradition. She recommends five new visions for the Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath masses of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath:
“1. Alternative awakenment” - based on moralism, rationalism, whether religious or aesthetic or agnostic, a genuine democratic socialism can have its roots only in “Ambedkar’s Buddhism”.
“2. Alternative spirituality” - “…Even before Ambedkar chose Buddhism in 1956, it had emerged with Pandit Iyothee Thass and Tamil Buddhism; with Srilanka’s Anagarika Dharmapala, Brahmanand Reddy of Andhra and Acchutananda of Uttar Pradesh. Phule took Buddhism as an important source of ‘Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath’tradition. …”
“3. Alternative Economics” - “…Ambedkar’s economic trajectory went from conventional welfare liberal economics in twenties to endorsement of state socialism that lasted upto 1947, to a final disillusionment of Soviet model and efforts to seek alternative Buddhist economics, described variously as democratic socialism, liberal socialism, a mixed economy or simply as beyond labels. …”
“4. Alternative Nationalism” - Only Ambedkar realized the need for English to unite all Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath in Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath. “This illustrates that real nationalism in Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath must (be) realized in the language of the people, not in the Sanskritised Hindi taught in schools or link language of cinema.”
“5. Empowerment of women” - In contrast to Aryan Invaders Cult subordination of women, Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath leaders projected a vision of women as equal citizens with rights to individual fulfillment. [Gail Omvedt, “The Pioneer”, 30 Jan. 2000]
Hindu Muslim Unity
Arvind Das, the editor of New Delhi review journal, “Biblio”, commenting on the attitude of elites, observe that any of those who demand that Christians apologize for the Inquisition or Muslims be sorry for being designated “Babur ki aulad” do not express the slightest regret for the centuries of oppression that they have practiced on the Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath, and there is only a thundering silence in that respect. [Arvind Das, “The Pioneer”, 30 Jan.2000]
Syed Shahabuddin, editor of Muslim India and former M.P. observes that the Draft constitution had declared Muslims and SCs as minorities and provided reservations for both. But Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel moved resolution and Muslims were denied facilities. He observes:
“… The goal of Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath Muslim unity is neither racial kinship nor religious uniformity but political unity. … Even if the forward Shudras were not included, the EBCs (the Backward backwards), SCs, STs, and Muslims alone form about 67.5 percent of the population. … a majority that lives below the poverty line. They own less than 15 per cent of national resources and have a long way to go before they become equal partners in the national enterprise - in power sharing as well as effective participation in decision making.” [Syed Shahabuddin, “The Pioneer”, 30 Jan. 2000]
He advocates alliance of deprived, but thinks it is unrealistic to think on national level. But in MLA segments, where the strength of these people exceeds fifty percent, it can be tried. In UP BSP and in Maharashtra RPI represent Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath, but there is no party of Muslims anywhere, he laments, and stresses the need for “composite leadership”. He also stresses the need of common agenda, and feels that the Aryan Invaders Cult order is on the decline, but not so Aryan Invaders Cult. He laments that every emergent class tends to be reborn as a Neo-Aryan Invaders aspiring for social domination. Those who stand for social justice cannot accept such succession and, therefore, the battle for Identity, Dignity and Equality will go on, he avers. [Syed Shahabuddin, “The Pioneer”, 30 Jan. 2000]
Communism and Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath
A lot has been written by Dr. Ambedkar discarding Communist idiology. Prof. T. K. Oomen at JNU, explains layers of Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath movement. There are people who concentrate on economic side and others on caste basis. But he feels that all Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath are not proletarians and a small substratum among this traditionally unprivileged class has undergone a process of elitisation. In addition, Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath consciousness is qualitatively different from proletarian or caste consciousness. Stressing the importance of cultural enlightenment, he comments that it is no accident that Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath protests in Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath first crystallized against socio- cultural oppression like untouchability, which was followed by mobilization for political enfranchisement and finally protests against economical exploitations were heard. [T. K. Oomen, “The Pioneer”, 30 Jan. 2000]
Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath Unity is not enough
Without in any way denigrating the efforts of those who are striving for Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath Unity, I feel, even if all the Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath, of all castes, shades and colours, unite, they cannot achieve any power without the help of other oppressed castes, as they are only about 16% or so. And if there is no power, caravan of Ambedkar will be on retrograde journey. Many non-Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath non- Aryan Invaders castes are realizing the mischief done by Caste system, they are having dialogue with Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath and uniting with them, as is seen in North Indian states. And the message is spread broad and wide and all regions of this country are awakening.
Should we not destroy our identity?
Are various leaders ready to give up their identities on argument that Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath liberation must get priority over all other demands? One does not have to give up ones identity, if we are talking at this stage of only political unity. But if we unite only politically at this stage, a time will come, when we have to unite religiously and socially also. At that time, I would like to ask these leaders, “Can they afford not to dissolve their identities?” If they did, their castes would be wiped out by the BSO. One has only to see the way these sub-castes are fighting among themselves just for crumbs, they have forgotten that their real enemy, BSO, is safe and secure in its own citadel. Even at this stage, infighting among the sub-castes is counter productive and injurious to the interest of their own caste.
Role of Jains and Osho
There are always some sporadic news items keep appearing in papers that, some youths have started a social movement to assert that Jains are not Hindus. We read that at one time Jainism was a revolutionary religion, and they had to suffer for it at the hands of BSO. K.A.N.Sastri tells us how eight thousand Jains were put to death by impalement by a Saiva King and how a festival is celebrated every year, even now, to commemorate this event in a temple at Madura. [K. Jamanadas, “Tirupati Balaji was a Buddhist Shrine” p.134]. Whether same revolutionary spirit will be revived among the Jains again, is more than I can predict.
I only know of one Jain revolutionary in modern times. He is Osho Rajnish, who said about the glass of orange juice given by Robindranath Tagore to break the fast of M. Gandhi at the conclusion of Poona Pact, “But this orange juice, this one glass of orange juice, contains millions of people’s blood!” [“Dr. Ambedkar aur Osho”, Hindi, by Sandesh Bhalekar p. 43] He had the courage to denounce Manu in no uncertain terms that if we could forget Manusmriti whole world would call us more liberal and broad minded; Manu is sitting on our chest like a big stone. [p.51] Some Ambedkarite scholars like Lokhande and Bhalekar project him as ‘in lineage of Phule, Shahu and Ambedkar’. Other equally prominent scholars like Yashwant Manohar call such projections as pollution (pradushan) in Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath literature. What role, if any, the followers of Osho, the world over, will play in opposing BSO in future, is a question better left alone for the future generations to work out.
Future of Buddhism in India
The struggle for destruction of Caste is the precursor of the spread of Buddhism, but need not be a precondition. Equitable distribution of land and fast implementation of Land Reforms is the need of the day. They know that this will dilute the hegemony of Aryan Invaders, and so such reforms are not implemented. With this attitude, one may contrast the honesty of the British, who knew that imparting education to lower castes will, one day, enable these people to drive away the alien rulers, but still they did not keep us ignorant. Under such circumstances we conclude this tract with the prophesy of Dr. Ambedkar about future of Indian Buddhism.
After comparing Buddhism with Hinduism, while comparing Buddhism with other non-Hindu religions, Dr. Ambedkar observes:
(i) The society must have either the sanction of law or the sanction of morality to hold it together. Without either society is sure to go pieces. He explains that in all societies law plays a very small part. It is intended to keep the minority within the range of social discipline. The majority is left and has to be left to sustain its social life by the postulates and sanction of morality. Religion in the sense of morality, must therefore, remain the governing principle in every society.
(ii) That religion as defined in the first proposition must be in accord with science. Religion is bound to lose its respect and therefore become the subject of ridicule and thereby not merely lose its force as a governing principle of life but might in course of time be disintegrated and lapse if it is not in accord with science. In other words, religion if it is to function, must be in accord with reason which is merely another name for science.
(iii) That religion as a code of social morality, must recognize the fundamental tenets of liberty, equality and fraternity. Unless a religion recognize these three fundamental principles of social life religion will be doomed.
(iv) That religion must not sanctify or ennoble poverty. Renunciation of riches by those who have it may be a blessed state. But poverty can never be. To declare poverty to be a blessed state is to pervert religion, to perpetuate vice crime, to consent to make earth a living hell.
Which religion fulfills all these requirement, he asks, emphasing that the days of the Mahatmas are gone and the world cannot have a new Religion and choice is limited to existing ones, and avers that the only religion which satisfies all these tests is Buddhism. Buddhism is the only religion which the whole world can have. The new world needs religion far more than the old world did, and it can only be religion of the Buddha. The confusion is because most of those who have written about the Buddha have propagated the idea that the only thing Buddha taught was Ahimsa. Without minimizing its importance, as it is a great doctrine and the world can not be saved unless it, he emphasized that Buddha taught many other things besides Ahimsa. He observed:
“… He taught as a part of religion, social freedom, intellectual freedom, economic freedom and political freedom. He taught equality, equality between man and man but between man and woman. It would be difficult to find a religious teacher to compare with Buddha whose teachings embrace so many aspects of the social life of a people whose doctrines are so modern and whose main concern was to give salvation to man in his life on earth and not to promise it to him in heaven after he is dead.” [Buddha and future of his religion”, p. 9]
Kanshi Ram was born in 1934 as a Raedasi Sikh, a community of Punjabi Chamars converted to Sikhism. The family had 4 or 5 acres of land, some of it inherited and the rest acquired through government allocation after Independence), a small landed background is characteristic of many Scheduled Caste legislators but remains a comparative rarity for Dalits in general. Kanshi Ram’s father was himself ’slightly’ literate, and he managed to educate all his four daughters and three sons. Kanshi Ram, the eldest, is the only graduate. He was given a reserved position in the Survey of India after completing his BSc degree, and in 1958 he transferred to the Department of Defence Production as a scientific assistant in a munitions factory in Poona. Kanshi Ram had encountered no Untouchability as a child, and overt discrimination was not a phenomenon within the educated circles of his adult life. But his outlook underwent a sudden change in 1965 when he became caught up in a struggle initiated by other Scheduled Caste employees to prevent the abolition of a holiday commemorating Dr Anibedkar’s birthday.’4 During this conflict Kanshi Ram encountered a depth of high-caste prejudice and hostility towards Dalits that was a revelation to him. His almost instant radicalisation was completed soon after by a reading of Ambedkar’s Annihilation of Caste: he read the book three times in one night, going entirely without sleep.
Kanshi Ram’s introduction to the political ideas of Ambedkar - he has never been attracted to Buddhism - was through his Mahar Buddhist colleague and friend at the munitions factory, D. K. Khaparde. Together the two of them began formulating ideas for an organisation to be built by educated employees from the Scheduled and Backward castes. Such an organisation would work against harassment and oppression by high-caste officers, and also enable the often inward-looking occupants of reserved postions to give something back to their own communities. So Kanshi Ram and Khaparde began to contact likely recruits in Poona. At about this time Kanshi Ram abandoned any thought of marriage, largely because it did not fit into a life he now wanted to dedicate to public con-cerns. He had also quite lost interest in his career, though he continued in the job until about 1971. He finally left after a severe conflict over the non-appointment of an apparently qualified Scheduled Caste young woman. During this conflict he had gone so far as to strike a senior official, and he did not even bother attending most of the ensuing disciplinary pro-ceedings. He had already made up his mind to become a full-time activist, and the movement was by then strong enough to meet his modest needs.
In 1971 Kanshi Ram and his colleagues established the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes and Minorities Employees Welfare Association, which was duly registered under the Poona Charity Commissioner. Their primary object was: To subject our problems to close scrutiny and find out quick and equitable solu-tions to the problems of injustice and harassment of our employees in general and the educated employees in particular.
Despite the Association’s inclusive reach, its aggressively Ambedkarite stance ensured that most of its members were Mahar Buddhists. Within a year of its establishment there were more than one thousand members and it was able to open an office in Poona: many of the members were from the Defence and Post and Telegraph Departments, and their first annual conference was addressed by the then Defence Minister, Jagjivan Ram. Kanshi Ram’s next organisational step was to create the basis of a national association of Scheduled Caste government servants. As early as 1973 he and his colleagues established the All India Backward and Minority Employees Federation (BAMCEF), and a functioning office was established in Delhi in 1976. BAMCEF was relaunched with greater fanfare on 6 December 1978, the anniversary of Ambedkar’s death, with claims of two thousand delegates joining a procession to the Boat Club Lawns in New Delhi (BAMCEF Bulletin April 1979). Although the stated objects of the new organisation were essentially the same as those of the earlier body, the rhetoric had grown bolder. It was not merely the oppressors who came in the line of fire, but also many of the reserved office holders too: As all the avenues of advance are closed to them in the field of agriculture, trade, commerce and industry almost all the educated persons from these [oppressed] communities are trapped in Govt. services. About 2 million educated oppressed Indians have already joined various types of sobs during the last 26 years. Civil Service Conduct rules put some restrictions on them. But their inherent timidity, cowardice, selfishness and lack of desire for Social Service to their own creed have made them exceptionally useless to the general mass of the oppressed Indians.The only ray of hope is that almost everywhere in the country there are some edu-cated employees who feel deeply agitated about the miserable existence of their brethren. (BAMCEF Bulletin 2 1974)
By the mid-1970S Kanshi Ram had established a broad if not dense network of contacts throughout Maharashtra and adjacent regions. During his frequent train trips from Poona to Delhi, he adopted the habit of getting down at major stations along the way - Nagpur, Jabalpur and Bhopal, among others - to contact likely sympathisers and to try to recruit them to the organisation (Kanshi Ram Interview: 1996). Once he had moved to Delhi he pushed into Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, as well as further into Madhya Pradesh. Parallel to his work among edu-cated employees Kanshi Ram was also contacting a wider audience with simple presentations of Ambedkar’s teachings. Thus in 1980 he put together a roadshow called ‘Ambedkar Mela on Wheels’. This was an oral and pictorial account of Ambedkar’s life and views, together with con-temporary material on oppression, atrocities and poverty. Between April and June 1980 the show was carted to thirty-four destinations in nine States of the north. Jang Bahadur Patel, a Kurmi (Backward Caste) and President of the Uttar Pradesh Branch of the Bahujana Samaj Party until late 1995, recalls meeting Kanshi Ram for the first time when he brought his roadshow to Lucknow (Interview: 25 November 1995). Kanshi Ram talked persuasively about how Ambedkar had struggled for all the down-trodden classes, and how the Scheduled Castes, Tribes and also the Backwards and Minorities were all victims of Brahminism. Because of their weight of numbers, these people had the potential to convert them-selves from ‘beggars to rulers’. It was all a matter of organisation. Patel immediately joined BAMCEF, though he was in a distinct minority as a non-Untouchable: Untouchables constituted about 90 per cent of the membership, with the other io per cent being split between tribals and Backward Caste people. BAMCEF’s motto, ‘Educate, Organise and Agitate’, was adopted from Ambedkar, and its activities were formally divided into a number of welfare and proselytising objects. But increasingly Kanshi Ram’s agita-tional activities were leading him into politics. By the late 70s he was no longer content with being the leader of reserved office holders, a class for whom he had less than complete respect. Kanshi Ram’s first attempt to create a radical political vehicle capable of mobilising the larger body of Original Inhabitants of jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath (DS4) formed in 1981. This was conceived as a political organisation parallel to BAMCEF: it shared the same President in Kanshi Ram, the same office, and many of the same members. DS4 was a quasi- rather than fully fledged political party, partly because government servants were forbidden to take part in electoral politics. But DS4 made little concrete progress, and late in 1984 Kanshi Ram took the plunge and formed the Bahujana Samaj Party (a variant on the name of Phule’s nineteenth-century organisation). Inevitably, this caused major strains in BAMCEF ranks. Their agitational activities had placed many of his colleagues from the Poona and early Delhi periods in a delicate position as government servants and, in any case, the political loyalty of many of them was to the several strands of the Republican Party. There were also strains arising from Kanshi Ram’s will to total domination of all three organisations. And the need for money was rising with the push into politics: one of the Maharashtra workers recalls delivering Kanshi Ram a purse of forty thousand rupees collected from Maharashtra in 1984. These several strains grew more severe over the next two years, and early in 1986 a major split took place. Kanshi Ram announced at that time that he was no longer willing to work for any organisation other than the Bahujana Samaj Party. His transition from social worker to politician was complete.
Kanshi Ram is more an organiser and political strategist than an innov-ative thinker or charismatic public speaker. While his Ambedkarite ideol-ogy has remained constant and lacking in any innovation, there has been a progressive sharpening of his rhetoric. The early issues of BAMCEF’s monthly magazine, The Oppressed Indian, were full of his didactic exposi-tions of Ambedkar’s views on Indian society. These have now given way to simpler formulations, repeated in numerous newspaper accounts and both public and private speech. The central proposition is that Indian society is characterised by the self-interested rule of io per cent over the other 90 per cent (the bahujan samaj or common people). Although the ruling io per cent is composed of several castes, they derive their legiti-macy and ruling ideology from Brahminism. All the institutions of society reflect this ruling ideology and distortion, including the press. These institutions can therefore be termed Manuwadi (after the great Brahmin-inspired text) or Brahminwadi. In the marketplace of elections, such simplicity has been further reduced to crudeness and epithet. A slogan coined after the formation of DS4 was, ‘Brahmin, Bania, Thakur Chor, Baki Sab Hem DS-Four’. Loosely translated, this rhyme states that Brahmins, Banias and Rajputs are thieves, while the rest of society are their victims. The epithets reached their height during the election cam-paign for the UP Assembly in 1993, the most notorious being: ‘Tilak, Taraju, Talwar. Maaro Unko Joote Char’. This slogan, with its insistent rhythm in Hindi, advocates that Brahmins, Banias and Rajputs, each identified by a slighting term, be beaten four times with a shoe - a tradi-tionally demeaning form of punishment because of the ritual impurity of leather. While Kanshi Ram and Mayawati denied authorship of such slogans, they served as a simple and dramatically offensive marker of the party’s ideological position.
Kanshi Ram’s strategy and his larger understanding of social change are now considerably evolved. He no longer believes in the primacy of social reform. Rather, expenditure of effort on any object other than the capture of government is seen to be superfluous. It is administrative power that will bring about desired social change, not vice versa. So he declines to spell out policies on basic issues such as the liberalisation of the Indian economy or on land reforms. His view is that such issues are irrelevant to the project of gaining power, and that the appropriate poli-cies will fall into place once power is attained. His picture of India is of a kind of holy war on the part of the bahujan samaj against their Brahminwadi oppressors. In the context of this war debates about policy are almost frivolities. This is a stance of pure fundamentalism, but it also frees him to engage in the most ruthless pragmatism in the name of capturing power.
Consistent with this stance, Kanshi Ram has become increasingly critical of the institution of reservation in government employment. Reservation is a ‘crutch’ - useful for a cripple, but a positive handicap for someone who wants to run on his own two feet (Kanshi Ram interview:1996). He now throws off the line that once the bahujan samaj get to power throughout India, it will be they who can condescend to the Brahmins by giving them reservation proportional to their own meagre population. There is more than a little bravado in this, but there is no doubt that Kanshi Ram is now hostile to the system of institutional preference that was the indispensable basis of his own personal and polit-ical career. It seems that he believes that reservation has now done enough for the Scheduled Castes. He notes that of some 500 Indian Admin-istrative Service (IAS) Officers in Uttar Pradesh, 137 are from the Scheduled Castes. By comparison, there are only seven lAS officers from the Backward Castes, six of them Yadavs (Hindustan Times, 6 April 1994). His point is not that there are now too many Scheduled Caste officers -their number conforms strictly to the legal quota - but too few from the Backward Castes. He apparently assumes that the capture of political power will automatically transform the composition of the bureaucratic elite. The Bahujana Samaj Party first made headway in Punjab, Kanshi Ram’s home State, but his primary political task was to wean the Chamars of Uttar Pradesh from Congress. It was Kanshi Ram’s fortune that he built the party at the historical moment that the long-term Congress decline became a landslide. The formal entry of his party into Uttar Pradesh was in a by-election in 1985 for the Lok Sabha seat of Bijinor, in which its candidate was Mayawati. She is a Jatav (or Chamar), the daughter of a minor government official in Delhi, and had completed a BA and LLB from the University of Delhi. Mayawati had made contact with Kanshi Ram in 1977 while she was a student, and had gradually been drawn into his organisation. Her opponents in Bijinor included Ram Vilas Paswan - the two have had poor relations since this contest - and Meira Kumar, Jagjivan Ram’s daughter, representing Congress. Rajiv Gandhi was at the height of his popularity at the time, and Meira Kumar won the seat easily. But by 1989 the Bahujana Samaj Party had put in five years of solid organising work in UP and also in the neighbouring regions of Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Delhi, and parts of Haryana. And mean-while the Congress Party had slumped in popularity. Kanshi Ram had prepared the ground carefully. He had selected organisers and candidates from a variety of social backgrounds. One of his organisers was Dr Mahsood Ahmed, a temporary lecturer in history at AligarhMuslimUniversity. Mahsood had become disillusioned with Congress when Indira Gandhi made her infamous tilt towards the Hindus in the early 1980s (Mahsood interview: 27 November 1995). He joined BAMCEF and then switched to DS4 in 1983 as a full-time organiser and fund raiser. Mahsood was later put in charge of the whole of eastern Uttar Pradesh for the Bahujana Samaj Party.
The years of organisation bore fruit in 1989 and 1991. In the four State Assembly and Parliamentary (Lok Sabha) polls for Uttar Pradesh between 1989 and 1991 the Bahujana Samaj Party’s share of the vote varied only marginally between 8.7 and 9.4 per cent. But this impressive vote produced a disappointing number of seats - in 1989 the party won thirteen out of 425 State Assembly seats, and in 1991 it won twelve. The party won only two Parliamentary seats in 1989, and one in 1991; Kanshi Ram himself subsequently won a by-election from UP in 1992. Both the strength and the weakness of the party is that its primary ‘vote bank’, the Chamars, are relatively evenly spread across the State. This spread gives the Bahujana Samaj a chance in a large number of seats, but also make it logically impossible to win even a single seat without strong support from other communities. Although it has attracted a measure of Muslim, Backward Caste and other Scheduled Caste support, it has encountered considerable resistance in these target communities. We need to look more closely at this problem.
First, there is the question of why the majority of Jatavs of western UP deviated from their kinfolk in the eastern part of the State, and continued to vote Congress in 1989 and 1991. The answer to this question is not entirely clear. Some have blamed the result on the poor organising capacities of Mayawati - she was in charge of this region - but the deeper reason may be the Jatavs’ historical association with B. P. Maurya. In a move of some desperation, Congress resurrected the 70-year-old Maurya as one of four national Vice-Presidents in the run-up to the 1996 elections. But by then Mayawati had become an electorally popular figure in eastern UP. As to the Scheduled Castes other than the Chamars/Jatavs, only Pasis appear to have voted for Kanshi Ram’s party in large numbers. The Valmikis (formerly known as Bhangis) voted solidly for the BJP in the 1993 Assembly elections, and the sole Valmiki in the Lok Sabha elected in 1991 represented the BJP (though in 1980 he had been elected for the Janata Party). Mangal Ram Premi MP - his biography is sketched in chapter 8- accounts for the Valmiki support of the BJP by simply advert-ing to the community’s dislike of the Chamars (Interview: 4 November 1995). The Chamars are more numerous, better educated and more successful in acquiring reserved positions than the Valmikis, and this tends to produce resentment. Many of the Dhobis too have recently voted for the BJP. In short, Kanshi Ram’s party has not solved the problem of how to mobilise all or even most of the Scheduled Castes. The problem that dogged Ambedkar has thus repeated itself in Uttar Pradesh, though Kanshi Ram’s Chamars are both more numerous and numerically more dominant among the Untouchables than were Ambedkar’s Mahars in the western part of the country.
Among Backward Castes, Kanshi Ram’s strongest support has come from the Kurmis. In Bihar, this is an upwardly mobile peasant community responsible for several of the worst atrocities against Original Inhabitants of jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath . But in Uttar Pradesh the Kurmis are comparatively low on the scale of prosperity. Moreover, they have had a history of anti-Aryan Invaders radicalism - Shahu Maharaj of Kolhapur remains a source of inspiration to some of them. And a sprinkling of them had been members of the Republican Party. The Kurmis could see advantage in being associated with a party that was not dominated by the more numerous Yadavs (whose firm affiliation is with Mulayam Singh’s Samajwadi Party). As to the large number of other Backward Castes in UP, over the last several years there has been an intense three-way tussle between the BJP, the Bahujana Samaj Party and the Samajwadi Party to capture their support. All three have had some success, but perhaps the larger part of this vote is a floating one that will flow with the main political current of the time. The last community to consider is the Muslims. In the aftermath of the destruction of the Babri Masjid the Muslims have been politically leaderless. They have shunned Congress for what they see to have been its culpable failure to prevent the demolition of the mosque, and have given considerable support to Mulayam Singh’s Samajwadi Party and some support to Kanshi Ram. Thus in the municipal elections of Uttar Pradesh in November 1995 and in the national and UP elections of 1996 it seems that UP Muslims were prepared to vote for whichever party was locally the strongest anti-BJP force. In short, the politics of post-Congress Uttar Pradesh are currently cast largely in terms of community vote banks. Political strategy is a matter of positioning one’s party so as to retain one s core vote bank and also attract others at the margins. At least as much as any other player, Kanshi Ram has adapted to this game with calculating skill.

Rs. 35,000 crore Annual Plan sanctioned for State
New Delhi : May 26, 2008 The Senior Departmental Officers, led by the Uttar Pradesh Chief Secretary Mr. Atul Kumar Gupta, held discussions on the shape and size of the Annual Plan of the Uttar Pradesh for the year 2008-09 at a meeting organised at the Planning Commission here today. The meeting was presided over by the member of the Planning Commission Mr. Bal Krishna Chaturvedi. The State proposed a shape of Rs. 35,000 crore for the Annual Plan, which was accepted by the Planning Commission. During the meeting, it was pointed out that the State had demanded a package of Rs. 80,000 crore on July 17, 2007 to bridge the critical gaps and backwardness of the Bundelkhand and Purvanchal regions, but the Government of India has not taken any positive decision in this regard so far. This package included construction of roads, development of health facilities, drinking water, electricity works, irrigation facilities, housing facilities for poor, agriculture development, social welfare and programmes related to employment. It was also pointed out at the meeting that Uttar Pradesh was not getting the requisite share under the self financed programmes of the Government of India if compared to the other States. Elaborating upon the situations, it was informed at the meeting that there were 90.17 lakh families subsisting below the poverty line in Bihar and it has been allocated a sum of Rs. 1412.47 crore under the Indira Awas Yojna, while 99.56 lakh families were living below the poverty line in Uttar Pradesh and the State was facing a shortage of 43 lakh houses, yet it was allocated Rs. 668.66 crore under the same scheme. The officers informed at the meeting that the State had not been reimbursed the sum spent during the last two years under the Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Project (AIBP). Rs. 193 crore have been sanctioned, but not reimbursed so far. Moreover, the State was not being provided a grant of 90 per cent from the Drought Hit Area Project, while the other States were getting it. The officers of the State Government said at the meeting that owing to the effective financial management and proper exploitation of tax and other financial resources, the pace of development programmes was accelerated through the resources generated in this way, but the Union Government did not provide requisite financial resources to the State Government. The officers of the State Government informed the Member of the Planning Commission that in the year 2007-08, Uttar Pradesh, which is the largest state of the country, had been sanctioned Rs. 75 crore as one time additional assistance, while the Planning Commission had sanctioned Rs. 200 crore for Maharashtra and Rs. 247.50 crore for Uttarakhand. Both of these states are smaller states if compared to the most populous state of the country. It is evident that the Centre had been discriminating against Uttar Pradesh as far as allocation of funds was concerned. A request of Rs. 300 crore has been made under this head. Highlighting the constructive approach of the State Government, it was pointed out that important steps had been taken to provide relief in the drought hit areas during the last one year. Owing to the steps taken by the State Government to encourage the private sector in the State, proposals worth Rs. 1.31 lakh crore had been implemented and people have shown interest in the development of energy sector, urban areas, Ganga Express-way, transport sector, medical sector etc. The development of agriculture and allied sectors have been accorded top priority and it would give some good results very soon. A sum of Rs. 1898 crore was spent under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) during the last year to provide employment opportunities to more than 40 lakh families. Under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojna, 2657 kms. long roads have been constructed. More people were made literate against the national average as far as literacy was concerned; this fact was confirmed by the study conducted by the NCRT. During the meeting the Chief Secretary requested to provide special package for Vindhya and Bundelkhand region of the State, so that the backward area of the State could be developed all-round. He also mentioned a request of Rs. 10,684 crore sent earlier for the development of the Bundelkhand region and an inter departmental team of the Government of India had conducted survey and inspection as well. The Government of India was also requested to provide an additional Central assistance of Rs. 5000 crore, so that various schemes and programmes of the State could be implemented. Besides, special request was also made to provide Rs. 100 crore for setting up agricultural university in Banda district, an additional assistance of Rs. 300 crore for the Bana Sagar Irrigation Project, Rs. 300 crore for the drinking water and irrigation facilities of the region, Rs. 50 crore for drip and sprinkler irrigation and exempting both the backward regions from the condition of 100 days of employment generation under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) for the Bundelkhand region. Raising the issue of delay made in the sanctioning of State Government’s projects under the Jawahar Lal Nehru Urban Renewal Mission at the meeting, it was emphasised that the amount payable for the sanctioned projects should be released immediately and a request to provide Rs. 700 crore amount to the State was also made. Likewise, a demand of sanctioning Rs. 708.04 crore under AIBP, Rs. 1200 crore under BRGF, Rs. 831 crore under NSAP, Rs. 450 crore RKVY, Rs. 200 crore under APDRP, Rs. 50 crore under BADP, Rs. 500 crore under CRF, Rs. 35.50 crore under NEGAP, Rs. 4.92 crore under Article 275 (1), Rs. 5.46 crore under TSP, Rs. 6.61 crore under NPAG — in all about Rs. 5,000 crore was made. It was also pointed out at the meeting that the State’s demand under the above programmes was justified and other states had been allocated more funds. ******

A warning to secular parties
The outcome sends out a warning to those secular parties who, in the interest of forming a government, go in for an electoral understanding with the BJP.For long the BJP had been trying to polarise the people along communal lines and had succeeded in weakening the secular forces in Karnataka.
The poll results also reflected the loss of credibility of the Congress and were a comment on the performance of the United Progressive Alliance government at the Centre.
The Centre’s polices, particularly in regard to price rise and the crisis in the agriculture sector, have led to resentment among the people who have rejected the Congress.
The BSP leader said that its candidates had lost because BSP could not match the money power of the BJP and this was the prime reason for the party’s rout.
The BSP votes were concentrated in slums and the BJP wooed the slum dwellers with liquor and money, he alleged.
The BSP candidate from the Tumkur city segment, Veer Dilip Kumar, polled 1,053 votes. Congress candidate from the city, Rafiq Ahmed Shaik, faced defeat by a narrow margin of 1,869 votes.
Karnataka Assembly Election 2008 was not Free and Fair election for the following reasons:

47 candidates face criminal charges
32 with criminal charges are in the fray Special Correspondent
BANGALORE: Even as the State prepares for the third phase of polling for the Assembly elections, the list of candidates includes a large number of candidates having criminal background from three major parties. A study, “Karnataka Election Watch 2008”, released by the Association of Democratic Reforms (ADR) shows that the wealth of candidates has increased multifold since the last elections in 2004. ADR spokesperson Trilochan Sastry told presspersons here on Saturday that there were 36 candidates with grievous criminal charges such as murder, attempt to murder, bribery, cheating, dacoity, forgery, rape and theft. Of them, 27 were from major political parties. The BJP tops the list of parties having candidates with criminal cases against them with 12 candidates followed by the Janata Dal (Secular) with seven and the Congress with six. Eleven other candidates have criminal records. Mr. Sastry said the ADR was careful to include only those charges that were serious in nature. One BJP candidate faced charges of murder while in the Congress, four of them faced charges of murder. The Janata Dal (Secular) has one such case. The document says 140 candidateswith serious criminal charges have contested in all the three phases of elections so far. The document states that there are 22 candidates who faced grievous charges in 2004 but the nature of their offences have changed after they became MLAs or when their parties came to power. The ADR wants the authorities to investigate into the charges. Giving details about the volume of wealth accumulated by the candidates contesting in the third phase, the document says the candidates have amassed wealth of Rs. 199.02 crores since the last elections in 2004.

Reforms could ensure more voter turnout
Research could throw up answers for poor poll percentage
Poll percentage could improve if the Government makes a ‘determined attempt’ to bring in reforms
‘Involvement of Resident Welfare Associations, NGOs and other concerned citizens would help’
MYSORE: The voter turnout in the second phase of the elections held in ten districts has been put at 60 per cent, which is a drop of six per cent from the first phase of polls. What could be the reason for voter apathy? Can reforms set right the apathy and ensure people turn out in large numbers to exercise their franchise?Social activist Vasanthkumar Mysoormath, who conducted voter awareness movements in 1999, 2004 and 2008 elections (first phase), has echoed Deputy Commissioner and District Election Officer P. Manivannan’s reported view thatresearch has to be conducted on poor poll percentage.“It is high time that such an exercise is undertaken by the Government of India. A number of election reforms are long-pending before the Centre. The Election Commission itself has forwarded some suggestions that are pending since many years now,” said Mr. Mysoormath, who was the presiding officer in more than 10 elections.Mr. Mysoormath, who retired from the Indian Audit and Accounts Department, maintained that the poll percentage can be substantially improved if the Government makes a “determined attempt” to bring in reforms as recommended by the Election Commission and experts over the years.He, too, had made certain suggestions for improving the poll percentage.Missing names Many eligible voters have been denied their right to vote because theirnames were missing,although they held Elector’s Photo Identity Cards (EPIC).“Why should they keep running around in circles to obtain updated EPICs every time there is an election, only to be turned down because the revised rolls do not contain their names,” he asked.The money and energy spent for enumeration and preparation of electoral rollswith the help of teachers and government officials has time and again failed to produce the required results.This needs to be answered because public money is being splurged to prepare incorrect rolls and to deny the citizens their right to vote, he said.InvolvementIt is also time for the citizens to behave in a responsible manner and involve themselves at the grassroots level to help the EC set right the perennial problem, he said.The three-tier system applicable to rural areas viz., zilla, taluk and gram panchayats, is absent in urban areas. To fill this gap, involvement of Resident Welfare Associations/NGOs and other concerned citizens would help.Better network “Street committees with volunteers from the residents in a street are the need of the hour. They, in turn, can coordinate with ward committees for enumeration and compilation of near-perfect electoral rolls and also for assessing the works and projects that need attention and for projecting their demands and grievances with the concerned service providers,” Mr. Mysoormath suggested.Sensitising youth.The youth of the country has exhibited rank apathy due to their feeling that “politics is a dirty business”.Many have expressed disgust over the behaviour of politicians in Parliament/Assemblies. ‘Not bothered’ “The youth have not bothered even to register themselves as voters because of the cumbersome procedure and running around to get an EPIC which nevertheless becomes useless by the next election. This attitude needs to be changed,” he said.Political will What the country needs is political will to bring necessary legislation through amendment to those rule books that govern elections.“Countries like Turkey and Australia have compulsory voting and the turnout is about 90-plus per cent. What made those countries prescribe such a rule and how it is implemented may be studied and adopted in our country also,” he said. Incentives Can incentives attract voters? Some incentive is bound to attract at least a percentage of people to stop being apathetic and cynical and proceed to vote. “A system may be prescribed: those who vote may be given a certificate by the EC for claiming say one or two per cent reduction in their electricity bills or water bills or property tax for a certain period after an election. If the percentage of voting can be increased by spending a few crores, then it will be well worth trying,” said Mr. Mysoormath.EC has failed to check flow of moneyElection Commission has failed to check distribution of money and other articles among voters. Mine lords, members of land mafia and anti-social elements were controlling the elections, which a dangerous development in democracy. Major political parties had no moral right to go before the electorate as they had forgotten the basic principles of politics.four polling booths in Bellary alleged rigging during the second phase of Karnataka assembly elections.Tribal organisations, demand, disqualification, of candidatesAdivasi Swayattategagi Rastriya Rangha (ASRR)and Nagarahole Tribal Rights Samithi have urged the Election Commission to disqualify three candidates contesting from H D Kote(Reserve) Assembly Constituency for allegedly producing false caste certificates.According to a press note issued by Samithi Convenor P K Ramu, the candidatesMr Chikkanna (Congress), Mr Chikkaveera Nayaka (BJP)and (Mr Doddanayaka (JD-S) had contested the Assembly elections from this reserved constituency for tribals and urged the Commission to disqualify and file criminal cases against them.Earlier, based on a complaint filed by the public, DeputyCommissioner and District Election Officer P Manivannan hadsuspended H D Kote Tahasildar T Vijya and ordered a departmentalinquiry against her for issuing S T certificate to BJP candidateChikkaveera Naika.They alleged that all three candidates had tampered with theschool documents and produced the false caste certificates duringthe time of the election process and contested from H D Kote.The Assistant Commissioner of Hunsur Sub Division M R Ravi hadsubmitted a report to the district election officer allegingtampering with the records by the three candidates to claim theScheduled Tribe status to contest the election.In his report, Mr Ravi stated the Tahsildar of H D Kote hadissued controversial caste certificates without verifying theoriginal documents and failed to follow the procedures before issuing them.Meanwhile, Deputy Commissioner and District Election OfficerP Manivannan said the report had been sent to the ElectionCommission for further action.In Reserved Constituencies, the Major Opposition Parties have encouraged False Caste
Certificate holders as candidates.May be to keep them under their control for not asking for
any provisions of reservation.
In CV Raman Nagar Constitutncy similar action was not taken when objection was raised

Hi-tech vote counting in Karnataka
Special Correspondent
BANGALORE: The counting of votes will go hi-tech this time in Karnataka as the State is set to use a web-based technology to aid the process of counting. The new technology will enable computerised counting, computing and also transmission of the data to the Election Commission from the counting centres.
Addressing a press conference here Friday, Bangalore Urban district Deputy Commissioner M.A. Sadiq, who is also Returning Officer for the district, said the software was also being used in the district which comprises seven Assembly constituencies. The software titled “Genesys,” supported by the National Informatics Centre, is to facilitate online counting.
BJP, JD(S) accused of distributing money, liquor
Action against top officials sought for hooch deaths
He alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Janata Dal (Secular) had distributed money and liquor to voters during the elections, without any qualms.
Reiterating the criticism against the Election Commission for not heeding the Congress demand for holding elections after preparing the electoral rolls, Mr. Kharge said that 20 per cent of the voters, mostly labour class and farmers, were deprived of their rights.
Citing the case of polling booth no. 98 near Wadi Station in his Chitapur constituency, he said that names of some 143 voters had been removed a few months ago by the Commission.
But, they returned with their ID cards and were allowed to vote. An election observer, who saw this, had reportedly ordered a repoll in the booth, he said.
He said that the commission should not repeat this mistake in the elections which would be held in future.
Many voters were illiterate and should not be deprived of their right to vote.
The KPCC president alleged in many booths the polling officers had disallowed a large number of people from casting their votes, even after producing one of the 20 documents to prove their identity.
Hooch tragedy
On the hooch tragedy, the Congress leader demanded action against top officials and not a few juniors such as sub-inspectors, responsible for the death of people.
On the basis of important recommendations of various inquiry commissions and committees on the liquor tragedies in the State, a stringent law should be enacted to avoid recurrence of such incidents, Mr.Kharge added.
If 20 per cent of the voters, mostly labour class and farmers, were deprived of their rights to vote then the Election Commission should be scraped and an Election Committee akin various Parliamentary Committees consisting of representatives from all the Political parties should be in its place and should ensure that all eligible peoples names are included in the voters list before any other future elections. Till such time no elections must be held.
People must have the Right To Information from such a Committee to know all the information for Transparency
While the Election Commission boasts of Hi-Tech this time in Karnataka as the State is set to use a web-based technology to aid the process of counting. The new technology that enable computerised counting, computing and also transmission of the data to the Election Commission from the counting centres. Was it difficult to ensure that all the eligible people’s names included in the voter’s list with photo identity ?
Split verdict will delay formation of government
By all accounts, government formation is not expected to be an easy exercise unless one of the three main political parties in the fray secures a simple majority in the least. While the Bharatiya Janata Party is the only party which has been categorically stating that it will win a comfortable majority, the Congress and the Janata Dal (Secular) have refrained from such announcements for obvious reasons.
Election Commission was not heeding to the demand for holding elections after preparing the electoral rolls, stating that the new Government has to be formed on 28-05-2008 as per the Constitution of India. Such an action might only help Communal Party which claims of majaority. The secular forces must see that a proper Election Committee in line with any other Parliamentary Committee representing all political parties is formed for future free and fair elections after including all elegible people in voter’s list with photo identity cards.
‘EC strictures led to more spending’
Special Correspondent
Candidates could not reach voters through cheaper modes of publicity
Delimitation compounded the woes of candidates
Bangalore: The Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee on Friday opined that the restrictions imposed by the Election Commission of India forced the candidates to spend more, as they were unable to reach their voters through the cheaper modes of publicity such as mikes fitted on autorickshaws in the countryside.
Addressing presspersons, KPCC election spokespersons B.L. Shankar, V.R. Sudarshan and K.H. Srinivasa said that the District Returning Officers took different views in their jurisdictions in imposing restrictions on using autorickshaws and mikes in public meetings. It happened in Chikmagalur district, Mr. Shankar said.
The problem of the candidates, mostly new ones, was compounded this time because of the delimitation of the constituencies and most of them did not know their voters. The holding of elections should not be too technical as it would take of the flavour from it, they said.
The Election Commission, Mr. Shankar said, should experiment with more debates by the media in future. Mr. Srinivasa and Mr. Sudarshan said that it was strange that mikes were allowed to be used during Ganeshotsavas and hoardings by film industry and the birthday of personalities, and political parties were barred from using it. Are the political parties and politicians criminals to be ostracised like this? they asked. A serious exercise such as elections should not be left to the whims and fancies of the officials, they said.
On the election prospects, Mr. Shankar said admitting that the Congress faced a serious challenge by its own workers, and that 12persons joined the Bahujan Samaj Party.
Almost all political parties are up for creating mess out of this issue, Bahujan Samaj Party is arranging a Dharna, Rebal BJP is carrying out a signature campaign, Congress is simply doing protests, even less known NCP is up for a fight.
This controversy erupted when new building of Rajkot Municipal Corporation (RMS) constructed inside central zone of Ambedkar Bhawan was resolved to be named as the Chiman Shukla Building.
This turmoil reached to Jamnagar and all over Saurashtra, In Jamnagar these parties protested against District Collectorate at Lal Bunglow, In Kalavad situation got worse and Police was called in for help, similar incidents are felt all over Saurashtra

BSP seeks arrest of excise official
Special Correspondent
BANGALORE: The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) on Wednesday urged the State Government to register a criminal case against the Excise Commissioner and arrest him by holding him responsible for the hooch tragedy that claimed several lives in the State.
BSP State unit president Marasandra Muniyappa told presspersons here that besides the Excise Commissioner, other officials of the department responsible for the tragedy should be prosecuted.
‘Governor should quit’
The Government should initiate action against the deputy commissioners and superintendents of police of those districts from where the illicit arrack had originated, he said.
As the State was under President’s rule, Governor Rameshwar Thakur should own moral responsibility for the tragedy and step down from his post.
Mr. Thakur should emulate Lal Bahadur Shastri who resigned as Railway Minister owning moral responsibility for a minor train accident, he said.
Mr. Muniyappa and the BSP national general secretary Veer Singh demanded a CBI probe into the incident and urged the State Government to pay a compensation of Rs. 5 lakh each to the families of the victims and a government job to the victim’s kin.
A BSP delegation led by Mr. Veer Singh would visit the families of the victims in Devarajeevanhalli in the city on Thursday, Mr. Muniyappa said.
On elections
Mr. Singh said major political parties in the State freely distributed huge quantities of liquor, saris and other articles along with cash to woo the voters.
Despite initiating strict measures, the Election Commission had failed to stop the political parties from enticing voters by distributing liquor and money. The Union Government should order a CBI probe into the electoral malpractice, he said.
Mr. Singh, a Rajya Sabha member from Uttar Pradesh, told The Hindu that the BSP’s vote share would be over 10 per cent.
State polls: Final round today
As many as 1.17 crore voters are expected to decide the fate of 699 candidates who are contesting from 69 Assembly constituencies going to the polls on Thursday in the third and final phase of elections in the State.
All arrangements are in place to ensure peaceful polling in eight districts of Hyderabad-Karnatak and Bombay-Karnatak regions: Dharwad, Gadag, Haveri, Belgaum, Bijapur, Bagalkot, Bidar and Gulbarga.

Removal sought In Bangalore, complaint with State Chief Electoral Officer was filed seeking the removal of Gurmatkal DySP charging that the police officer was misusing his office to favour Congress in the polls.
Media Apathy
Pre poll and exit poll surveys conducted by media publishes surveys based on their information and perception. In the first survey it was stated that Congress was ahead and following this BJP leader Yedyurappa had demanded ban on surveys. But in the second phase when it came out that BJP was in the lead the party leaders have kept a mum. “BJP applies double standards with regard to media pre poll and exit poll surveys’’ .
Exit polls give different pictures
New Delhi: As the polling concluded for the Karnataka Assembly elections on Thursday, two exit polls presented different scenarios: CNN-IBN projected a hung Assembly, with the Congress as the largest party, and NDTV envisaged the possibilities of a fractured mandate as also of the BJP securing a majority on its own.
The Congress would emerge as the single largest party with 86 to 95 seats in the 224-member House followed by the BJP with 79 to 90 seats and the JD(S) getting 45 — all far away from the half-way mark of 112 — said a CNN-IBN exit poll. It said 14 seats would go to “others” at the end of the final round of polling.
The exit poll carried out by CNN-IBN, the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS) and Deccan Herald had a sample size of 4,348 voters spread across 92 locations.
The NDTV exit poll gave the BJP 95 to 115 seats (three more than the half-way mark) seats, the Congress 55-75, the JD(S) 45-55 and others 10 to 15. It projected the BJP as emerging on the top in the third and final phase of polling, in which votes were cast for 69 seats, with 30-40 seats, followed by the Congress 20-30 and the JD (S) 10-12. — PTI

Congress flays Yeddyurappa
Special Correspondent
BANGALORE: The Congress has criticised the statements made by former Chief Minister,B.S. Yeddyurappa accusing it and the Janata Dal (Secular) of hatching a conspiracy for revocation of the arrack ban in Karnataka.
Addressing presspersons here on Thursday, Congress spokesman K.H. Srinivasa said Mr. Yeddyurappa had made a “frivolous and mischievous” statement. Demanding an apology from Mr. Yeddyurappa, the Congress spokesman stated that the former had crossed all limits of “arrogance” and displayed political immaturity. Pointing out to Mr. Yeddyurappa’s term as Deputy Chief Minister and Chief Minister, Mr. Srinivasa said the BJP leader did not think of the consequences of an arrack ban.
Hooch tragedy brings into focus ‘ban’ politics
Bageshree S.
Absence of mechanism to prevent illicit liquor manufacture is glaring
Habitual drinkers driven to hooch because of pricey IML
Bangalore: The hooch tragedy that has claimed 125 lives in Karnataka, so far, has set off a blame game among political parties with a focus on the arrack ban implemented by the H.D. Kumaraswamy Government with effect from July 1 last year.
The former Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa, who held the excise portfolio, announced the ban in the 2007-08 budget. In a reaction to the hooch tragedy, he has called it a “conspiracy hatched jointly by the Congress and the Janata Dal (Secular)” to build a case for revoking the ban.
When the arrack ban was thought of, there were apprehensions on two counts. One was that it would lead to a sharp decline in the State revenue that came from arrack sales, which accounted for about 50 per cent of the excise revenue. The second fear was that it would give a fillip to illicit liquor manufacture, considering the higher cost of Indian Made Liquor (IML). After all, the cheapest IML is priced between Rs. 33 and Rs. 38 a bottle as against Rs. 12 per 100 ml for arrack.
The Government, however, went ahead with the ban, saying that it will “lead to better health of our people, but will result in loss of revenue.”
In his budget speech, Mr. Yeddyurappa said that the ban was He promised that the Government would take “stern action” to combat the menace of illicit arrack after the ban was implemented.
According to the Excise Department, the spurt in IML sales compensated for at least a significant portion of the revenue loss. The sale of IML in the five divisions of the State stood at 16,22,066 cartons in June, the month prior to the ban, while it doubled to 32,21,045 in December. By March 2008, the sales went up by another 10 lakh cartons. The sales doubled in all divisions, with Bangalore (which includes Bangalore Urban, Bangalore Rural, Chitradurga, Davangere, Kolar and Tumkur) accounting for the highest sales.
Medium-term fiscal plan for Karnataka (2008-12) says that “due to increased consumption of IML, the revenue gap has been substantially covered and the revised estimates for the financial year 2008-09 for collections from State Excise are expected to be higher than the budget estimates by about Rs. 1,300 crore.”
What did not get any attention was, however, the question of illicit liquor. There was no special mechanism put in place to prevent possible spurt in illicit brewing nor regulations worked out to scientifically regulate liquor manufacture and sales.
“There was a promise that an excise inspector would be posted in every taluk especially to control illicit brewing. But this never happened,” said M.S. Jayalakshmi of Grameena Mahila Okkuta based in Kolar, a district that has seen many deaths.
On the other hand, habitual drinkers from the poorest sections were driven to illicitly-brewed liquor given the higher price of IML, especially the increase from Rs. 27 to Rs. 33 and from Rs. 32 to Rs. 38 from April 1.
Yellappa, a migrant construction worker here hailing from Yadgir in Gulbarga district, told The Hindu that the Government “does not stop people from drinking in bars but asks poor people not to drink.” This underlines the moral contradiction embedded in the arrack ban.
As a result, the policy, ostensibly meant to help the poor, resulted in draining their meagre income by pushing them to IML or put their health at risk by driving them to illicit liquor.
Hung House forecast
By Sandeep Shastri, Sanjay Kumar and Yogendra Yadav
The Congress is expected to secure around 35 per cent votes, the same as last time. The BJP contesting on its own is likely to secure the same vote share of 30 per cent which it secured in alliance with the JD(U) last time.
Karnataka seems to be headed for yet another fractured mandate.
At the end of four years full of political action and drama, the electorate appears to have given a rather undramatic verdict: if we go by the Deccan Herald CNN-IBN-—CSDS poll, all the three major parties appear to be exactly where they were in 2004 in terms of their vote share.
The Congress is expected to secure around 35 per cent votes, the same as last time. The BJP contesting on its own is likely to secure the same vote share of 30 per cent which it secured in alliance with the JD(U) last time.
Despite many prophecies of doom, the JD(S) appears to have retained its share of 21 per cent votes. Other players like the JD(U), the BSP and the SP do not appear to have made a dent, even allowing for the fact that surveys tend to under-estimate smaller parties.
This is not to say that nothing has changed in the popular preferences. The public mood has undergone many ups and downs. The regional and caste-community equations have undergone a lot of churning. Popular evaluation of issues and personalities has undergone a serious change. Yet the net effect of all these changes tends to cancel each other and leaves all the key players at the same level in terms of popular support.
The last few weeks have seen some major shifts. On the whole, the Congress appears to have lost the substantial lead that it enjoyed at the starting point of the electoral race.
The Deccan Herald CNN-IBN-—CSDS pre-poll survey, which was done before the candidates were announced and the campaign began, had shown that the Congress enjoyed an 11-point lead over the BJP in its share of popular votes. But the post-poll survey for the first two phases and the exit poll for the last phase show that the nomination of candidates and party campaign seems to have changed the picture.
In the first two phases the momentum had swung in favour of the BJP, but the party did not manage to keep its surge in the third phase of elections that took place on Thursday. Compared to where it stood at the beginning of the race, the Congress lost 4 percentage points, 2 to the BJP and one each to JD(S) and others.
The Deccan Herald CNN-IBN-—CSDS survey indicates that while the BJP has gained all over the state in the last one month, its gains are differential and could lead to very different scenarios in different parts of the state. B’lore with Cong?
In the Bangalore region, comprising Bangalore urban and rural, the advantage still rests with the Congress despite impressive gains for the BJP. The JD(S) is likely to finish a distant third in this region, with some influence in the rural periphery around Bangalore.
There is good news for the JD(S) from its heartland South Karnataka, which voted in the first phase. As reported in our pre-poll survey, the JD(S) appears set to defy forecasters of doom to retain its ground in this region. The Congress and the JD(S) appear to be locked in a dead-heat in this region. The BJP has registered small gains over the last election, but not enough to bring it close to the top two.
Polls: 61.3 pc turnout in final phase
Bangalore, DHNS:
The curtain falls on to the three-week long election process in the State with the third and final phase of assembly polls held on Thursday recording 61.3 per cent polling, which is slightly lower compared to the voters turnout in the previous two phases.
The third phase held in 66 constituencies spread over nine districts of Hyderabad-Karnataka and Mumbai-Karnataka region, can make or break the quest for power for both the Congress and the BJP.
State Chief Electoral Officer M N Vidyashankar told reporters in Bangalore on Thursday that Bagalkot and Dharwad districts recorded the highest polling percentage — 65 pc each, while Bidar district, the lowest at 57 pc. In Belgaum, which has a total of 18 assembly constituencies, as many as 62 per cent of the electorate exercised their franchise. The final voting percentage will slightly increase when the complete data is compiled on Friday.
The first phase of the polling held on May 10 in 89 constituencies spread over 11 districts witnessed 66.3 per cent turn out, while 68 per cent polling was recorded in the 66 constituencies in 10 districts that went to polls in the second phase on May 16.
The commission is in the process of receiving form 17A (which records the proceedings in the station) from the presiding officers of all 12,000 polling stations and only after scrutiny of the same, repolling, if any, would be decided, Vidyashankar said.
Thursday’s poll witnessed the village of Attikete in Ron Assembly constituency in Gadag district boycotting polls. Not even a single vote was cast at the Attikete polling station as villagers stood by their demand that a separate gram panchayat be constituted for them. The polling station had 832 votes.
Vidyashankar said the DC and Zilla Panchayat CEO visited the spot to convince villagers but in vain.
Mixed methodology of post-poll and exit poll
Findings reported here are based on a survey conducted in 75 out of the 224 assembly constituencies in Karnataka using a mixed methodology of post-poll and exit poll.
The post-poll survey of 4,104 respondents was conducted in the constituencies, which went to poll in the first and the second phase, while the exit poll of 4,348 respondents was conducted in those sampled constituencies where elections were held during the last phase.
All the 75 assembly constituencies were randomly selected using the Probability Proportionate to Size (PPS) method.
In each of the selected assembly constituencies, four polling booths were randomly selected using systematic random sampling method.
We preferred conducting post-poll survey in constituencies, which went to poll in the first two rounds of the election, because it enables strict randomisation of respondents, which is not possible in an exit poll situation.
During the post-poll survey, at each location, 30 respondents randomly selected from the updated electoral roll using the systematic random sampling technique were approached for interview. Post-poll survey also enabled strict comparisons since these respondents were also interviewed during the pre-poll survey conducted last month.
Structured interview
All the respondents were interviewed at their home using a structured interview schedule. The respondents were interviewed face-to-face in the language they spoke at home. To facilitate this, the interviewed schedule was translated in three languages, Kannada, Hindi and English.
While majority of the respondents were interviewed in Kannada, there were a few respondents especially in Bangalore who were interviewed using interview schedule in Hindi or English language.
In constituencies, which went to polls in the third phase, we conducted the exit poll at 92 polling booths.
A total of 150 field investigators, mostly students from different universities, carried out the hard work of data collection. All the field investigators were given training in survey research and data collection at workshops held in different regions of the state. A total of five workshops were held to train these field investigators.

PRESIDING OFFICER SUSPENDED
Gulbarga:
Presiding Officer Gopal Katage and Sectoral Officer P Bharule posted at polling booth number 70 of Thimmapur in Surapur (ST) constituency have been suspended for their failure to conduct the mock polling exercise before the start of the actual polling.
Due to this out of the 70 votes polled the electronic voting machine could record only four and the remaining were not recorded following delinking of the ballot unit and control unit.
The official sources said the discrepancy was noted by the observer and steps were taken to restore normalcy. The two suspended officers were replaced by the stand by trained staff. The matter has been reported to the election commission and the possibility of a repoll is not ruled out.
There have been complaints of malfunctioning of electronic voting machines from about 12 polling booths in the district. As a result of which the poll process was affected for 30 to 60 minutes. The reports of EVMs not functioning have come from Surapur, Shahapur and Aland constituencies. The machines were set right by the technicians

SP denies Smritis charge
Belgaum Superintendent of Police Hemant Nimbalkar has denied that TV star and BJP leader Smriti Irani was manhandled by police on Tuesday.
Reacting to media reports, he said on Wednesday that the charge was false and baseless.
Reports said that the BJP leader was insulted and touched by some policemen while she was on her way to Goa in a vehicle from Belgaum after attending the party programme on Tuesday. “In the pretext of searching me, some policemen stopped my car near Belgaum and touched me,'’ the actor had claimed.
The SP said the police had not received any complaint by either Ms Smriti or her BJP workers. She has levelled unfair allegations against the police, he said. On Tuesday evening, a vehicle was intercepted near Angol for search by police. Many BJP workers were present on the occasion. “I don’t know whether Ms Smriti was also in it. Apart from this search, nowhere the BJP leaders’ vehicles were stopped during that evening,'’ he stated.
BSP may keep off UPA report card function
NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will release on Thursday a yearly “Report to the People” on the government’s achievements.
There are reports that Bahujan Samaj Party MPs will not attend the function to be held to mark four years of the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance rule.
The BSP’s move coincides with the announcement by MPs of its rival, Samajwadi Party, that they would attend the event, indicating the change in equations in the run-up to next year’s Lok Sabha elections.
Congress spokesman said, while confirming the reports that the BSP was likely to stay away.
This was expected after the recent war of words between the Congress and the BSP in Uttar Pradesh, say observers.
Deprived of a right and De-Franchised

left out: Voters whose names were missing from the voters’ list, which prevented them from exercising their franchise, showing their identity cards during the repoll
at one of the booths in Bangalore on Monday.
The Election Commission is responsible for De-franchising large number people who were deprived of their right to vote as their names were missing from voter’s list.
Many of them those who had their photo identity cards also did not find their names in the voter’s list.
There was haste in conducting elections by the Election Commission without ensuring that all the eligible people in Karnataka were included in the voters list.
However Election Commission has to postpone the date for formation of the New Government and not on 28 th May 2008 as required by the Constitution.
With thousands of people not finding their names in the voters list, People must have the Right To Information on the exact percentage of names missing in the voter’s list.
Those who tried to include their names before 29-04-2008 had their acnowledgements. Yet their names were not found in the voters list.
Thousands of people stood in scroching sun to get photo identity cards before the elections. But they could not get because of lack of proper infrastructure such as enough numbers of computers and staff who could either include peoples name in the voters list or provide them photo identity cards.
People must also have the Right To Information on the type of chip used in the Electronic Voting Machine with the source code for transparency.
In Reserved Constituencies, the Major Opposition Parties have encouraged False Caste Certificate holders as candidates.
When objected during scrutiny they were not rejected but accepted since the Tahsildars had issued them certificates and EC said that they were helpless and only the Courts can help them.
The Election Commission must have a mechanism to ensure that genuine SC/STs only contested elections in Reserved Constituencies.
Since the Chief Election Commissioner N Gopalaswamy on Thursday fixed the responsibility for preparation of error-free voters list, ahead of the election to Karnataka Assembly, on political parties, it is high time that the present Election Commission be scraped and an Election Committee representing all the Political Parties like various Parliamentary Committees be formed forthwith. And work out to see tha all the eligible people of India are included in the voter’s list. This must be made mandatory.
And no elections has to be conducted until all the peoples’ names are included in the voter’s list.
Till then the present election has to be scraped
for a Real Free and fair Election.
Election Commission India
Elections India : Article 324 of the constitution establishes an independent Election Commission to supervise parliamentary and state elections in India. Supervising elections in the world’s largest democracy is by any standard an immense undertaking. Some 521 million people were eligible to vote in 1991.
Now the people of India must have the Right To Information from the Election Commission know as to how many million people were elegible to vote in 2009 and 2008 Karnataka Assembly elections. There is no official information on the exact number of people whose names are not found in the voter’s list.
We the people - these are the most important words in our constitution. Everything depends on us- the voters,who have an opportunity and the right to choose our representatives, demand accountability and determine the direction of growth and governance of the country. Several problems have surfaced in the gigantic task of conducting elections in India and to ensure that elections are free and fair. With each passing election, the educated citizens of our country seem to have grown ignorant and apathetic about the electoral process and elections. The result has been a steady deterioration in the standards and practices of political parties reflected in rampant corruption and the reckless use of money and muscle power to win elections.
Active participation of citizens is an absolute prerequisite to make the electoral system more representative, fair, transparent and free from all the other ills. Eleanor Roosevelt once said: “nobody can hurt you without your consent” which in this context can be rephrased as “nobody can marginalise you without your cooperation
Chief Election Commissioner N Gopalaswamy on Thursday fixed the responsibility for preparation of error-free voters list, ahead of the election to Karnataka Assembly, on political parties. Speaking to reporters here, Mr Gopalaswamy said the political parties would be given two separate lists on February seven for deletion and additions to be made in the final list.
‘’They will be given two weeks time for raising objections to removing and adding names of the voters for the final list to be prepared on March ten,'’ he said.
‘’It will be the responsibility of the political parties to ensure the final list did not contain discrepancies any more as the EC has adopted a new mechanism for producing error-free list,'’ he said.
To a question on whether the elections would be postponed in case of a delay in the implementation of the report of Mr Justice Kuldeep Singh who headed Delimitation Commission, he said the EC did not work on the basis of ‘ifs and buts’ and as of now, it would conduct the elections before May 28.
‘’The Commission is concerned about the voter’s list as there are only additions and no deletions in the list.
‘’This is the reason I sent Deputy Election Commissioner R Bhattacharya, who is in charge for Karnataka, to oversee the whole exercise,'’ Mr Gopalaswamy said.
The EC would hold elections before May 28, as the state completes six months under President’s Rule on the date, he said.
In the draft list submitted by the State Election Commission (SEC) names of 3.48 lakh voters had been deleted while 9.27 lakh new voters had been added as of yesterday.
Mr Gopalaswamy and his Deputies Navin Chawla and S Y Qureshi have been here for the last two days reviewing the voters list and preparedness of the official machinery to hold elections, following the detection of large number of bogus voters in the voter’s list.
Earlier, Congress and the BJP submitted memorandum to the CEC urging him to provide error-free voters list and elections be held in the stipulated time.
He replied in the affirmative when asked whether he would take action against the officials for their ‘lapses’ in preparation of the voter’s list.
Voters list mess in poll-bound Karnataka
Bangalore, Jan 5 - A family with 90 voters and a town with 30,000 voters in a population of 36,500! These are just some of the glitches in the voters list in poll-bound Karnataka. R. Bhattacharya, deputy election commissioner at the Election Commission of India has been in Bangalore for the last three days having talks with state election officials on steps to ensure proper voters list ahead of polls to the 224-member assembly expected in April/May.
The irregularities in the voters list pointed out by people and political parties has forced the state election commission to cancel its plans to release the final list on Jan 10.
Bhattacharya met state chief electoral officer R. Ramaseshan, Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagar Palike (Greater Bangalore City Corporation) commissioner S. Subramanya and senior officials from several districts and told them of the Election Commission’s displeasure over the way the voters lists had been prepared.
The state officials now plan to revise the lists and publish them by the end of this month. They have sought the help of voters to point out anomalies.
Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president Mallikharjun Kharge Friday mentioned the instance of one family in north Karnataka having 90 voters on the list and of Humnabad town in Bidar district that has 30,000 voters in a population of 36,500.
More than 7,000 in the town are school-going children, yet there are 30,000 names in the voters list.
Another Congress leader H.K. Patil said there could be around four million bogus names in the voters list. Karnataka’s population is estimated at 55 million and voting population at around 42 million.
The two other main political parties, the Bharatiya Janata Party and Janata Dal-Secular also allege there are many irregularities in the list. The three parties have urged the state and central election officials to rectify the anomalies

Major decision: Mayor Ayub Khan announcing the involvement of booth committees in the revision of the voters’ list. Deputy Mayor Kamala Venkatesh is seen.
MYSORE: The Mysore City Corporation (MCC) will revise the voters’ list in the three Assembly constituencies within its jurisdiction by launching a door-to-door campaign along with members of the booth committees.
There are 607 booth committees in the city covering all the 65 wards. The initiative is expected to be more precise; it will involve people at the grassroots level unlike in the the top-down approach followed so far.
Apart from updating the voters’ list, the exercise will help rectify the anomalises and help add to the list the names of those who were left out while deleting the names of bogus voters. The initiative will complement the steps taken by the district administration before the elections.
Disclosing this, Mayor Ayub Khan said here on Saturday that during his visits to polling booths in his capacity as the first citizen of Mysore, he had received several complaints from registered voters.
“Either their names were missing or the details were faulty. Hence I have decided to accord priority to ensure that the citizens are not deprived of the right to exercise their franchise,” he said.
“I consider it my duty to ensure that the names of all eligible voters are incorporated in the revised voters’ list and hence have decided to take the step with the assistance of booth committee members”, Mr. Khan said.
It has been decided to undertake a survey according to which, the head of each booth committee, along with officials of the MCC and other members, will cover the area coming under their respective booths and ensure that the discrepancies are removed.
“The entire responsibility of revising and updating the voters’ list will be vested with the new team”, according to the Mayor. It has also been decided to conduct a one-day workshop-cum-training programme for all booth committee members so that they can familiarise themselves with the process of revising the list. “Details will be collected from every household on individuals who have been transferred, women who have left the locality after marriage and those who have expired so as to ensure that their names are deleted from the list”, Mr. Khan said.
Once the workshop-cum-training programme is completed, the voters’ list revision exercise will be taken up as a pilot project at one booth each in the three Assembly constituencies coming under the MCC limits.
The team involved in this exercise will record its findings and experience, collate the pros and cons of such an approach and table a report which will be subjected to scrutiny.
“We will thoroughly analyse the report and streamline the exercise before extending it to cover all the booths coming under the 65 wards of the MCC”, Mr. Khan said.
Cooperation sought
He called for public cooperation, and sought the assistance of non-governmental organisations so as to ensure that in the subsequent elections genuine voters will not be deprived of their right to exercise their franchise.
There are 607 booths in the three Assembly segments in Mysore Urban which has a population of nearly 7.55 lakh according to the 2001 census.
The Election Commission recently called for revision of the voters’ list in Mysore on learning that the number of voters in the city was more than 65 per cent of the total population.
Though the revision exercise was conducted over an extended period of time, there were some discrepancies which the Mayor wants to rectify by launching an exercise involving the booth committees.
Reforms could ensure more voter turnout
Research could throw up answers for poor poll percentage
Poll percentage could improve if the Government makes a ‘determined attempt’ to bring in reforms
‘Involvement of Resident Welfare Associations, NGOs and other concerned citizens would help’
MYSORE: The voter turnout in the second phase of the elections held in ten districts has been put at 60 per cent, which is a drop of six per cent from the first phase of polls. What could be the reason for voter apathy? Can reforms set right the apathy and ensure people turn out in large numbers to exercise their franchise?
Social activist Vasanthkumar Mysoormath, who conducted voter awareness movements in 1999, 2004 and 2008 elections (first phase), has echoed Deputy Commissioner and District Election Officer P. Manivannan’s reported view that research has to be conducted on poor poll percentage.
“It is high time that such an exercise is undertaken by the Government of India. A number of election reforms are long-pending before the Centre.
The Election Commission itself has forwarded some suggestions that are pending since many years now,” said Mr. Mysoormath, who was the presiding officer in more than 10 elections.
Mr. Mysoormath, who retired from the Indian Audit and Accounts Department, maintained that the poll percentage can be substantially improved if the Government makes a “determined attempt” to bring in reforms as recommended by the Election Commission and experts over the years.
He, too, had made certain suggestions for improving the poll percentage.
Missing names
Many eligible voters have been denied their right to vote because their names were missing, although they held Elector’s Photo Identity Cards (EPIC).
“Why should they keep running around in circles to obtain updated EPICs every time there is an election, only to be turned down because the revised rolls do not contain their names,” he asked.
The money and energy spent for enumeration and preparation of electoral rolls with the help of teachers and government officials has time and again failed to produce the required results.
This needs to be answered because public money is being splurged to prepare incorrect rolls and to deny the citizens their right to vote, he said.
Involvement
It is also time for the citizens to behave in a responsible manner and involve themselves at the grassroots level to help the EC set right the perennial problem, he said.
The three-tier system applicable to rural areas viz., zilla, taluk and gram panchayats, is absent in urban areas. To fill this gap, involvement of Resident Welfare Associations/ NGOs and other concerned citizens would help.
Better network
“Street committees with volunteers from the residents in a street are the need of the hour.
They, in turn, can coordinate with ward committees for enumeration and compilation of near-perfect electoral rolls and also for assessing the works and projects that need attention and for projecting their demands and grievances with the concerned service providers,” Mr. Mysoormath suggested.
Sensitising youth
The youth of the country has exhibited rank apathy due to their feeling that “politics is a dirty business”.
Many have expressed disgust over the behaviour of politicians in Parliament/Assemblies.
‘Not bothered’
“The youth have not bothered even to register themselves as voters because of the cumbersome procedure and running around to get an EPIC which nevertheless becomes useless by the next election. This attitude needs to be changed,” he said.
Political will
What the country needs is political will to bring necessary legislation through amendment to those rule books that govern elections.
“Countries like Turkey and Australia have compulsory voting and the turnout is about 90-plus per cent. What made those countries prescribe such a rule and how it is implemented may be studied and adopted in our country also,” he said.
Incentives
Can incentives attract voters?
Some incentive is bound to attract at least a percentage of people to stop being apathetic and cynical and proceed to vote.
“A system may be prescribed: those who vote may be given a certificate by the EC for claiming say one or two per cent reduction in their electricity bills or water bills or property tax for a certain period after an election. If the percentage of voting can be increased by spending a few crores, then it will be well worth trying,” said Mr. Mysoormath.
EC has failed to check flow of money
Election Commission has failed to check distribution of money and other articles among voters. Mine lords, members of land mafia and anti-social elements were controlling the elections, which a dangerous development in democracy.
Major political parties had no moral right to go before the electorate as they had forgotten the basic principles of politics.

Tribal organisations, demand, disqualification, of candidates
Adivasi Swayattategagi Rastriya Rangha (ASRR)
and Nagarahole Tribal Rights Samithi have urged the Election
Commission to disqualify three candidates contesting from H D Kote
(Reserve) Assembly Constituency for allegedly producing false caste
certificates.
According to a press note issued by Samithi Convenor P K Ramu,
the candidates Mr Chikkanna (Congress), Mr Chikkaveera Nayaka (BJP)
and (Mr Doddanayaka (JD-S) had contested the Assembly elections from
this reserved constituency for tribals and urged the Commission to
disqualify and file criminal cases against them.
Earlier, based on a complaint filed by the public, Deputy
Commissioner and District Election Officer P Manivannan had
suspended H D Kote Tahasildar T Vijya and ordered a departmental
inquiry against her for issuing S T certificate to BJP candidate
Chikkaveera Naika.
They alleged that all three candidates had tampered with the
school documents and produced the false caste certificates during
the time of the election process and contested from H D Kote.
The Assistant Commissioner of Hunsur Sub Division M R Ravi had
submitted a report to the district election officer alleging
tampering with the records by the three candidates to claim the
Scheduled Tribe status to contest the election.
In his report, Mr Ravi stated the Tahsildar of H D Kote had
issued controversial caste certificates without verifying the
original documents and failed to follow the procedures before
issuing them.
Meanwhile, Deputy Commissioner and District Election Officer
P Manivannan said the report had been sent to the Election
Commission for further action.
In Reserved Constituencies, the Major Opposition Parties have encouraged False Caste Certificate holders as candidates.May be to keep them under their control for not asking for any provisions of reservation.
In CV Raman Nagar Constitutncy similar action was not taken when objection was raised during scrutiny, they were not rejected but accepted since the Tahsildars had issued them certificates and EC said that they were helpless and only the Courts can help them.
Some political parties were involved in the bomb blast at Hubli court to gain political mileage during the election.
Polling in sensitive booths of Bellary City and Rural was slow, but peaceful on the whole except for an incident in Srirampur Colony (SC (Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath) Colony), where a voter, Shivaji an asthma patient was not permitted to vote as he had produced only the xerox copy of his ID card which was not accepted by the polling officer.
An altercation ensued and the Border Security Force (BSF), who could not understand Kannada manhandled the voter and pushed him out. A group of people gathered and the situation was tense for a while. However, special observer Raymond Peter arrived on the spot. The voter and the local people mobbed his car and represented the case. The situation was brought under control.
Such a huge number of contestants has made the officials organize for two electronic voting machines in each polling booth. Each EVM can display a maximum of 16 names. Both machines will be connected to a single controlling unit, according to B P Adnoor, Commissioner, Bellary City Corporation.
Will voters be confused as they will have to look for their choice of candidates in two EVMs?
“No. Each candidate has been allotted with a number and a symbol. Voters will have to know that number. But in case of national parties, voters go by the symbol. In 2004, two EVMs were used in each booth as elections to the Assembly and Lok Sabha were held simultaneously. A voter will have to spend a second or two just to read the symbols as there would be two EVMs,” he said.
A tour around Bellary city showed that none of the independents are campaigning. Even major political party leaders admit that no independent is serious about the elections. Then why do they pay Rs 5,000 as deposit and enter the fray? A senior Congress leader said, “Majority of the independent candidates are dummy. They contest and approach us (major parties) for money to withdraw their nominations. This time none withdrew their papers. Each candidate is allowed to use only four vehicles for campaigning. This EC restriction has come as a major hurdle for us to campaign. So, we have kept the vehicles of independent candidates at our disposal. Of course, we have their money. This is done in by all major parties. Many of the independents are fielded by national parties”.
Another challenge being faced by the officials is to weed out the bogus student ID cards. The EC has listed 20 types of identity cards which can be used for casting vote. A voter has to produce any one of these to exercise his franchise. Students are allowed to produce their college ID card.
In the first phase of polling, students were found producing fake ID cards. So, the EC has sent mails to all the DCs to check the veracity of students’ ID card. “We have held a meeting with the principals of all colleges in Bellary and have directed them to ensure that their colleges are not found issuing bogus cards. If fake cards are found, then principals of such colleges will face criminal action,” said Aravind Srivastv, Deputy Commissioner, Bellary.
Security
Giving protection to polling booths in Bellary city is also a major challenge to officials. Each booth will be monitored by para military personnel because each one of the total 211 polling booths in the city is branded as hypersensitive, said Srivastav.
As many as 7,244 government staff has been drawn for election duty on March 16. Of this, 1,811 are presiding officers.
In fact, no staff is allowed to work in their home town or village. They have been allotted postings on a random basis. Till May 15 morning, they would not know where they will be posted. All these measures are taken to see that fare and free elections are held in the district, added Mr Srivastav.
Rs 10 crore worth liquor, gifts seized
As many as 1,418 criminal cases have been booked under provisions of IPC and Peoples Representation Act, while 1,705 cases have been registered under the Excise Act and Rs 3.5 crore worth IMF liquor and spirit has been seized since April 1….
Around 120 cases of inducement to voters by giving various gifts have been booked while property worth Rs 7 crore worth property have been seized, Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) Shankar Bidari said here on Wednesday. Speaking to reporters he said 16,616 persons have been arrested since April 1 and bonds have been obtained from them for good behaviour.
He said as many as 56,000 police personnel will be deployed in the second phase of elections to be held for 66 constituencies on May 16. This includes 21,000 civil police, 10,000 Home Guards, 22,000 para military forces and 3,000 KSRP personnel.
a total of 214 Central Para Military Force (CPMF) companies have been allotted to 66 Assembly constituencies in 10 districts, that include 21 for Raichur, Koppal (15) Uttara Kannada (18), Bellary (31), Chitradurga (18), Davanagere (24), Shimoga (22), Udupi (18), Chikmagalur (20) and Dakshina Kannada (27).
One mobile squad will be provided for every 20 polling stations. Each mobile squad comprises one police sub-inspector, one head constable, three constables and one Home Guard.
In all, there will be 650 mobile squads for all constituencies, Bidari said.

Peter takes charge
Senior IAS officer Raymond Peter, who was appointed as a special observer to oversee polling process in Bellary district, where mine owners have locked horns in the second phase, took charge on Wednesday.
He held a meeting with returning officers, top police officials and commandant of central security to review the poll preparations and arrangements.

Dear Sir,
Heartfelt greeting on Buddha jayanti.I’m very thankful to you all for showing your concern for the liberation of Mahabodhi Temple, Buddhagaya. I will be going to Bihar in second week of June,2008 for initiating legal action. I have made legal research on the issue of Buddhgaya. Apparantly the Bodhgaya Act of 1949 which provides for provision for constitution of Temple Management Committee with Invaders and thier slaves majority is unconstitutional on ground several provisions and principles (14, 25,26, secularism etc)of Indian Constitution and International Bill of Human Rights.
Its shocking to learn that how state government had courage to enact such illegal and unconstitutional Act. I feel that becouse of Invaders and thier slaves majority in legislatve body has committed mischief on the pretext of better management of affairs of temple.
It is a grave fraud on the Constitution of India and state and society have committed crime of collective conspiracy.
I belong to Buddhagaya itself but since born in untouchable
(Original Inhabitant of Jambudvipa that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath) family, was unaware of my real identity. When I started reading the works of Babasheb Ambedkar and Buddha, I realized that we are defacto Buddhist and then committed to Buddhism and humanity. I’ll fight till last blood of body to liberate Buddhagaya and Buddhism from the domination of Invaders and thier slaves.
I’m looking forward for your active participation and cooperation.

Manual scavenging still rampant in North East Delhi, says report
Parul Sharma
Finance and Development Corporation had sponsored the study to identify scavengers in the city
As per the report scavenging is a women dominated profession
‘The scavengers have high aspirations for their children and want them to study’
NEW DELHI: While 15 years have lapsed since the demeaning and humiliating practice of manual scavenging was banned through the enactment of the Employment of Manual Scavengers and Construction of Dry Latrines (Prohibition) Act, 1993, manual scavenging is still rampant in North East Delhi, where a majority of Delhi’s 1,282 scavengers work, a study by a Delhi University lecturer has revealed.
According to the study conducted by Pamela Singla, a lecturer at the Department of Social Work at Delhi University, the main pockets of residence and workplace of people engaged in removal of night soil are in areas like Karawal Nagar, Old Seelampur, Shahdara, Gandhi Nagar, Nand Nagri and Babarpur. “Scavenging is done mainly by two ways, either by cleaning of drains or emptying the containers containing night soil,” said Dr. Singla, sharing the findings of the study that she conducted for the Delhi SC/ST/OBC/Minorities/Handicapped Finance and Development Corporation.
The Corporation had sponsored the study to identify scavengers in the city. Acting on the report, the Delhi State Cabinet had recently decided to initiate steps for the rehabilitation of manual scavengers.
As per the report, “Scavengers and Scavenging in Delhi”, submitted to the Corporation in July last year, scavenging is a women dominated profession.
“About 80 per cent of scavengers are women and majority of them are married. Over 71 per cent are below 40 years of age. Out of 1,282 scavengers, 1,085 reside and work in Delhi, while the remaining work in the Capital but live in Loni. Besides scavenging, they also collect garbage and clean septic tanks. They are engaged in scavenging purely owing to financial reasons as they have to fend for their families,” shared Dr. Singla.
A majority of them are not satisfied with their jobs since the work is “extremely filthy”. About 12 per cent of scavengers said they could not quit the profession as there was no alternative means of employment available to them because of their illiteracy.
“They are not sure what they want to do. During informal interactions with some of the women, I could gauge that they were not ready to undergo training for any other job. They showed willingness to do government jobs. Some women even said they would not mind scavenging if it would be counted under government jobs and would give them a regular, fixed income at the end of the month coupled with weekly holidays,” she said.
According to the report, the scavengers had high aspirations for their children and wanted them to study and get into some “dignified profession”.
Interestingly, Dr. Singla had conducted the same study way back in 1992 and was glad to note that the number of human scavengers in the Capital had come down from 8,000 back then to 1,282 this time round.
“Things have improved in some ways. In 1992, there were many scavengers who carried it (night soil) head load. In 2007, such persons were almost negligible with most carrying it in a cart,” she noted.
Dr. Singla said the profession can be completely abolished only when the authorities convert “dry” latrines to “wet” latrines with simultaneous programmes for their rehabilitation.
“As long as there is a demand for their services, scavengers will continue to exist,” she concluded, adding that the Corporation is sharing the report with some ministries.

Do not pursue the past.
Do not lose yourself in the future.

The future has not yet come.

in stability and freedom.
“If you find no one to support you on the spiritual path, walk alone.”
“You only lose what you cling to.”
“The root of suffering is attachment.”

“You yourself must strive. The Buddhas only point the way.”
“Meditate… do not delay, lest you later regret it.”
“A
man asked Gautama Buddha, ‘I want happiness.’ Buddha said, ‘First
remove I, that’s Ego, then remove want, that’s Desire. See now you are
left with only Happiness.’ ”
“All
component things in the world are changeable. They are not lasting.
Work hard to gain your own salvation. Do your best.”. Then the Buddha

English, Hindi, mathematics and science are taught in addition to Buddhist scriptures
Most students at the monastery are from Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh
At peace: A file photo of young Buddhist monks praying at the Maha Bodhi Society in Bangalore.
Bangalore: Amidst the bustling activity on the lanes of Gandhinagar — shoppers bargaining for the best price, whirring traffic and crowded streets — it is hard to believe that there could be such an oasis.
The Maha Bodhi Loka Shanti Buddha Vihara is a world in itself, The Hindu discovers on the occasion of Buddha Poornima.
The Vihara aims not just to teach the Dharma to disciples, but to spread the message of peace and co-existence.
Established in 1956 by Acharya Buddharakkhita, the complex is set amidst one-and-a-half serene, lush acres. And the ambience is so tranquil and secluded from the outside world that you might not want to leave once you are in.
The entire complex has been designed in the Buddhist style of architecture. A prominent structure that catches everyone’s attention is the foundation stone of the Vishwa Mattri Stupa that resembles the famous Sanchi Stupa in Madhya Pradesh.
From Thailand
A magnificent idol of the Buddha, six feet in height, and brought from Thailand, is gracefully seated atop a dais in the vast chanting hall and is regarded as the guiding light to all disciples. This hall is open not only to Buddhists but to anyone who wants solitude to meditate or chant. The life of the Buddha has been captured in the form of paintings that adorn the walls. The monastery has four branches all over India: in Ladakh, Arunachal Pradesh, Mysore and Bangalore.
Students from different parts of India come down to enlighten themselves by studying Buddhists manuscripts in Pali.
It is believed that Pali is the language used by Gautam Buddha to preach.
“I like to study the verses in Pali, as we can comprehend them in their original form,” says Dhammabuddhi, a disciple.
130 residents
A large number of these students are from Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh. Presently there are 130 students who are studying different aspects of Buddhism: the life of the Buddha, one of the world’s oldest languages Pali, Vinaya (discipline), and various discourses of the Buddha.
In addition to this, English, Hindi, mathematics and science are taught.
“The discourses of the Buddha are my favourite subject,” says nine-year-old Jago, who is talented enough to memorize all 423 verses from the book Dhammapada.
Routine
The monastery follows a particular routine. The day begins at 5 a.m., with activities such as physical exercise, puja, chanting, meditation and gardening.
When asked about what the disciples will do after they complete their course, society treasurer Sangharakkhita says that after the five years spent at the monastery, students can either train to run a monastery or become meditation masters.

An “Appeal”
To The People of Karnataka for
Legislative Assembly Election – 2008
Kumari Mayawati
National President
Bahujan Samaj Party
Brothers and Sisters,
It is well known to every one the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) is the only party in the country, which “believes in doing rather than saying“.
It is for this reason that our party, unlike other parties, does not release any tempting “Election Manifestoes” and instead, issues “Appeal” to the people in general and voters in particular to ensure their vote and support for BSP in order to fulfill the remaining commitments for completing its missionary goal by adopting the path shown by Saints, Gurus and Mahapurush (Great men) born in different periods in the Bahujan Samaj like Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, Chatrapati Sahu Maharaj, Narayana Guru, Periyar Ramaswamy Ji, Baba Saheb Dr.Ambedkar and more recently Manyawar Shri Kanshi Ram ji.
This we do with an aim to earn good results for the party in the elections and to achieve power to rule so that with the help of the “Master Key of Political Power” we become master of our own destiny and could ensure work and proper welfare of the poor, deprived and downtrodden sections of the society belonging to all castes and religions i.e.”Sarv Samaj”. Param pujya Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar has beautifully and wonderfully explained about the significance of the “Master Key of the Political Power”, declaring that the political power is such a “Master Key” through which all problems can be solved and also doors of progress and prosperity can be opened up.
Following this principle of Babasaheb Dr.Ambedkar, our party is contesting, on its’ own strength, KARNATAKA Legislative Assembly General Elections-2008. The Karnataka Legislative Assembly has a total number of 224 seats and the BSP is contesting on almost all the seats on its own. BSP has not at all entered into any kind of alliance or seat adjustments with any other party in this election. So, we are fighting this election on all seats on our own.
But, the pertinent question which arises here is, as to why there is a necessity for the people of the State of Karnataka to cast their votes in favour of the BSP only, rather than voting for the Congress, B.J.P. or their supporting parties? We have to understand this issue very clearly for an outstanding performance. .
In this regard, I am of the view that BSP is the only Party in the country whose “Principles & Policies” and also its “style of functioning” suits very much the interests of the people belonging to “Sarv Samaj” (all sections of the society). On the other hand, other political parties make too many promises to people just before the elections or in the election year but they never translate them into reality for the true welfare of them, leaving most of their lofty electoral promises confined to papers only, rather than getting them implemented in practical terms.
It is for this very reason that, even after 60 years of independence, the “Social and Economic” condition of people belonging to Bahujan Samaj, which comprises of Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), Other Backward Class (OBCs) and Religious Minorities such as Sikhs, Muslims, Christians, Parsis and Buddhists have not significantly improved due to faulty economic policies adopted by various governments of castiest leaders of different political parties, even though the population of these sections of society is very large and for this reason , we call them as “Bahujan Samaj”.
Here, I am especially talking about their wrong and erratic economic policies, mainly because at the centre as well as in most of the States, Governments’ were formed with the monetary or otherwise help of big capitalist powers and for this very reason, these parties, after coming to power, as a “return gift” to them formulated their “Economic Policies” in subservience of these capitalists, fully ignoring the interests and welfare of general public.
Due to this kind of unjust behaviour of the governments of Congress, BJP and their supporting parties, the economic condition of people belonging to Bahujan Samaj as well as poor people of “Savarn Samaj” i.e. the upper castes is turning from bad to worse. The malice is still continuing, rendering more and more such people unemployed and live a life under the darkness of poverty.
In view of the complexity and seriousness of such kind of problems, these deprived and exploited sections of the people revolted in such a manner to form a separate political party of their own called as (the Bahujan Samaj Party-BSP) under the leadership of Manyawar Shri Kanshi Ram Ji on April, 1984, basing its ideology on policy and progrmmes of Great Baba sahib Dr. Ambedkar. And quiet obviously, with the massive support and cooperation of all the sections of the society, the BSP has acquired a “National Status” and has grown enough to be officially by the Election Commission of India as one of the main national political parties of India .
Not only this, our party also gradually expanded its mass base and graduated to send its representatives in Parliament, apart from winning assembly elections in various States of the Country. In Uttar Pradesh, which is the biggest State of India in terms of the size of the population, the BSP under the leader ship of mine had formed government four times. And all the four times, the governments of our party has worked with full devotion and dedication to provide “justice” to all, besides giving impetus and dynamism to the issue of ”Development” in the State.
Giving priority to weaker sections of the society in the process, with an aim to improve “Social and Economic” condition of the underprivileged sections of the society and poor people belonging to Sarv Samaj, our party Government in Uttar Pradesh, for the first time in the country, constituted separate “Welfare” Departments” in 1995 right at the inception of the first BSP government.
And the aspect of development were given new meaning when 25,000 villages, having predominantly Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa i.e. the Great Prabuddha Bharath (SC/STs) population, were selected for “Dr.Ambedkar Village Development Scheme” to develop them fully with all kind of basic amenities and infrastructure facilities. The process is going on and gradually all the villages of the State will be taken for such kind of developmental activities all over the State, surely changing the very face and of course the life of the rural poor in real terms. Presently, however, the name of this scheme has been changed as “Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar U.P. Gramsabha Samagra Vikas Yojana (Gramsabha Integrated Development Scheme.)”.
Similarly, an ambitious “Urban Integrated Development Scheme” has been formulated in the name of “Manyawar Shri Kanshi Ram Ji”. Under this scheme, small towns and cities of Uttar Pradesh are being developed in a systematic manner and within time bound period. But under both these schemes, all the activities are being speeded up as much as the economic condition of the State allows. These developmental activities could well get further momentum and much speed if the Central Government fulfills its obligations of providing funds for the purpose.
Apart of this, priority has been accorded especially to Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa i.e. The Great Prabuddha Bharath (SC/STs) and other exploited sections of the “Sarv Samaj” in all other developmental activities. The homeless and poor people were allotted vacant land, besides possession has also been ensured to landless poor for the purpose of farming/agriculture on that land. About 20 lakh poor people have so far been benefited from this decision of the government in the State, and this work is still continuously in progress.
In addition, my government has taken an unprecedented and historic decision to provide with more than one lakh permanent government jobs in rural areas for the Valmiki community of Scheduled Castes. By this decision, all the 1.08 lakh revenue village of Uttar Pradesh will have at least one Sarkari Safai Karmachari, and the person appointed will be from the same village in most of the cases… This besides meeting employment problem will also make a sea change in the health atmosphere of rural areas for it will ensure cleanliness and help eradicate diseases spreading due to unhygienic conditions.
And, so far the issue of giving boost to education is concerned, the government of our party, for the first time in the country, took a policy decision to grant scholarship to the children of persons belonging to poor Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and also to poor children of Other Backward Classes and Religious Minorities, especially to the poor children belonging to Muslim community.
The scholarship amount has also been doubled in view of the rising inflation and cost of living; besides that the amount of scholarship is being distributed to students immediately after their admission. Our government also arranged free coaching to ensure their admissions in the prestigious institutions and for high-grade prestigious jobs like IAS, IPS. PCS etc.
Along with the above facilities, for the first time in the State, 25% of the State budget has been allocated separately for the welfare and development of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in the State.
Besides, in order to infuse the sense of security among the people belonging to Bahujan Samaj, a policy of reservation has been introduced for the first time in the postings at the police stations in each and every district. Under the new provision, police officers belonging to SC/STs, for the first time in the country, will be getting 25 percent of such posts of police station will go to the people belonging to OBCs and 5 percent to officers from Religious Minorities (Muslims) in all the districts of the State. This system of governance is still continuing in the State with a slight modification.
And especially, full care has been made towards protecting, in all spheres of life, the interests and welfare of the Muslims, which is the largest section of Religious Minorities in the State. Apart from their economic development, the safety and security of their lives and Religion has also been fully ensured. In addition, our government was first in the country ensuring government jobs to economically weaker Muslims by including them in category of other Backward Classes (OBCs) and issuing government order facilitating release of caste certificates accordingly.
“New Positive Reservation Initiatives”
In The Interest of Sarv Samaj
You know very well that “where there is will, there is way.” That is why for the first time in the country, the BSP government of Uttar Pradesh has taken “ New Positive Reservation Initiatives”
In The Interest of Sarv Samaj
i.e. Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes (OBC), Religious Minorities and Upper caste, for it is more thanevident that the benefit of reservation, which was provided on account of the untiring efforts of Param Pujya Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimarao Ambedkar, to the Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs) and Other Backward Castes (OBCs) in the Government jobs under the Constitution of India, was not reaching fully to the dire needy people because of anti-reservation attitude of the Congress, BJP and their supporting parties.
Not only this, various Government Departments and Institutions are being handed over to the Private Sectors for the past several years on the pretext of poor economiccondition of the government, without ensuring provision of the same kind of reservation in the privatised firm/sector at any level. And, if this current state of affairs/practice of handing over the government departments and Institutions to Private Sector continues, a day will come when the constitutional facility of reservation will cease to exist.
Taking this issue of great importance very seriously, the Government of my party in Uttar Pradesh wrote several letters to the Government of India and requested that before the privatization of various Government and public sector institutions, the same quantum of reservation for those sections of society should be ensured as they were already getting in the Government sector and institutions. But no Government of any party has so far acceded to our contention and our party is “seriously concerned” and “worried” about this issue.
But the people belonging to Scheduled Castes (SCs) & Schedule Tribes (STs) and Other Backward Classes (OBCs) will be happy to know that throughout the country, it is only the Government of my party, the BSP in Uttar Pradesh which was fulfilled these tasks, which are as follows:
· Public-Private- Partnership (P.P.P.) is the main component of “all inclusive” realistic and practical economic policy of my government in Uttar Pradesh.
· All the Schemes/projects/ industries with partnership with state government, the State Government would have a maximum partnership of 49 percent of 11 percent.
· The provision of job reservation in enterprises developed on Public-Private Partnership model will continue in the proportion and manner as the State Government has been providing quota which is in the government jobs 21 percent for Scheduled Castes, 02 percent for Scheduled Tribes and 27 percent for Other Backward Classes.
· The interests of employees will be fully safeguarded in the projects/enterprise s established under PPP model.
· Now along with this, the Uttar Pradesh Government of my party has applied the policy of “Sarvjan Hitai –Sarvjan Sukhai” (Progress and Prosperity for all) also in the area of the reservation. In pursuance of this policy, our government has taken historical initiative to provide the benefits of reservation to all the poor and needy people belonging to all castes and the implementation of this new system has already been taken up in the right earnest in Uttar Pradesh. This step has been taken for the first time in the country.
· Under it, if the services rendered by the Govt. Departments, Corporations, Authorities, Councils and other Semi-government institutions or the maintenance of their establishment are substituted by outsourcing, then the contract to be executed for the said purpose would include the provision of providing 21 percent of jobs created through this out sourcing to the persons of Scheduled Castes, 2 percent to the persons belonging to Scheduled Tribes and 27 percent to Other Backward Classes.
· In the Industrial Units, Educational Institutions, Infrastructure/ Service Sector Projects, Disinvested Units are being set up in which the private sector is provided land, subsidy, state aid or assets by the Government or any of its government departments, then as per the “voluntary” and “mutual agreement”, the employers have to provide 10 percent of the total jobs created in the projects to the persons of Scheduled Castes, 10 percent to Other Backward Classes, including Backwards of Religious Minorities and 10 percent to the economically weaker persons of the Upper Castes
· Over 30 thousand posts of backlog have so far been filled by my part’s government in Uttar Pradesh. Recruitment on remaining posts is in progress.
· Besides, it is to be clear in mind that the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (prevention of atrocities) Act, 1989, has been enacted by the Government of India, hence a central act, and no State Government can make any alternation in this Act nor repeal it. The State Government of Uttar Pradesh has ensured strict enforcement of this law.
· My Government has done everything possible regarding implementation of reservation policy.
· The Government of India has also been asked to fill the vacant posts in Government Services in accordance with the policy of reservation. The policy of reservation should be extended to private and other sectors and it should be included in the ninth Schedule of Constitution as a safeguard.
· We have also urged the Government of India to amend the Constitution for providing benefits of reservation to the people belonging to upper castes living below the poverty line. But, the attitude of the Congress and BJP and its supporting parties has been throughout negative.
· But for that matter, I would like to fully assure the people of upper castes that the day the government of our party come to power at the centre, they will be given the benefit of reservation, similar to the pattern which has been introduced by us in Uttar Pradesh and this will be done without their asking for it, and will also make all positive efforts for the eradication of their poverty and un-employment. And, you all know very well about the style of functioning of my party that whatever we say, we do the same. In other words, there is no difference in our party’s saying and doing.
· Besides, Adequate additional reservation should also be provided to such persons of Scheduled Castes who were converted to Muslim or Christian religion, but maintaining the present share of quota of prescribed reservation for the Scheduled Castes. For this, necessary amendment should be made in the Constitution to relax the total limit of 50 percent reservation as laid down by Hon. Supreme Court and this amendment will be included in the 9th schedule of the Constitution so that this arrangement becomes a permanent feature.
So far as the matter of providing Social Security to the people is concerned, my party’s government in Uttar Pradesh is very serious and sensitive over the issue… That is why immediately after assumption of power my government increased to double the amount of pension to old age persons and farmers from Rs.150 to Rs.300. And also the number of beneficiaries was raised to 24 lakh from 20 lakh, for which sum of Rs. 1410 crores has been earmarked in the budget.
Similarly, labourers , who belong to the poorest and weaker section of the society and mostly fall under the categoryof farming labour, were not being cared properly as they belong to unorganized sector, but my government has raised their daily remuneration wage to Rs.100 from a meager of Rs.58, which they were getting previously.
And, over the issue of plight of farmers and farming becoming less remunerative day by day and thereby ultimately affecting our self-reliance on food, my party is in full sympathy with the farming community. It is beyond any doubt that the governments of the Congress, the BJP and their supporting parties during their rule in the past 60 years have done a criminal act of ignoring farm and farmers. In the course of promotion of heavy industries, there was a criminal neglect of farm sectors and farmers’ requirements.
This is also a tragedy that in the course of developing heavy industries particularly in the tribal areas, where the native people were deprived even from the fourth class jobs, adding more burden on their life to ensure protection of the interests of tribals & farmers.
Besides, my government has taken a stand that the Self-esteem and Self-respect of the unemployed youth will not be ridiculed every month by providing them meager ‘unemployment allowance’. Instead, our party wants them to live with pride, as they would instead be provided permanent jobs, with the creation of job opportunities, for which Regional Rural Employment Centre will be established.
And education is another area that has been accorded top most priority by my government in Uttar Pradesh. It is with this reason a decision was taken without any delay to recruit 88,000 teachers to help improve the standards of education. The process of recruitment of such a large number teachers in just one go is on.
In addition of all these, my government has paid attention in according full respect and honour to Sants, Gurus and Mahapurush born in Bahujan Samaj at different period of times such as Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, Chatrapati Shahuji Maharaj, Narayana Guru, Periar Ramaswamy, Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar and more recently Manyawar Shri Kanshi Ram Ji. A number of new Districts, Universities, Memorials, Museums and other important public places and institutions have been named and erected in their name to perpetuate the memory of their hard-faught struggles.
And in this connection, you all know very well that no government, be it the government of the Congress, the BJP or their supporting parties, ever gave proper respect and regards to the Sants, Gurus and Mahapurush born in the Bahujan Samaj.
And regrettably, the castiest mentality of these political parties still persists. . The biggest proof of it is that the Congress party, ruling at the centre did not even declare one or two days holiday nor they ordered flying of national flag half mast in the mourning of Manyawar Shri Kanshi Ram Ji, the creator and founder of the BSP movement.. And the BJP and other opposition parties remained a mute spectator to all this.
In brief, the lesson to our people of all this happenings is that if the people belonging to Bahujan Samaj and those of Savarn Samaj (upper castes) living in your state of Karnataka want to create an atmosphere like that of Uttar Pradesh for leading a life full of self-esteem, respect and dignity, they will also have to capture the “Master Key of political power” in their hands by ensuring good results in the general election being held in your State.
Therefore keeping all these factual propositions in mind, I earnestly “APPEAL” to the supporters of the BSP to follow the above mentioned suggestions in order to make an all out effort to achieve party’s goal of capturing power in order to get rid of their poverty, helplessness, backwardness, unemployment, injustice and exploitation by making your own government in your State, following the true path shown to you by your messiah Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar on the basis of exercise of franchise based on the concept of “One Man-One Vote” given to you by Baba Saheb himself and thus fulfill the unfinished task of Manyawar Shri. Kanshi Ram Ji.
In other words, you should understand your Messiah’s message properly and utilize the right to vote wisely to help yourself so that you could form a government of your own party in your State which will in real terms help improve your socio-economic condition as well as of education, besides ensuring a civilized self-esteem life to you. In the meantime, this could be also help improve the economic condition of the Upper castes people.
But to create such an atmosphere in your State, you have to acquire the “Master Key of Political Power” in your hands, like people have done in the Stae of Uttar Pradesh and you will have show good result in the coming Assembly elections in your State. And to achieve this great goal of success in the assembly election, you will have to be cautious and alert from various nasty tricks and Saam-Daam-Dand- bhed like nefarious designs of the opposition parties during the elections, because these parties can go to any extent to damage our party.
And I want to warn you that these opposition parties will go all out and will make allefforts to sabotage the voting of Savarn Samaj inn favour of BSP and for this purpose , these parties will propagate our “Ideology and Principles” in a wrong, vicious and twisted manner among these sections of society.
Therefore, I consider it important to explain the ideology and principles of B.S.P. I would also like to clarify here that the ideology and principles of our party “are not against any caste or creed”. B.S.P. wants to change the unequal social order of this country based on “caste” and wants to establish here a “Samatamulak Samaj Vyavastha” ( A Social Order based on Equality), which is in the interest of this country and Sarv Samaj.
For this, we have to change the Jaatwadi (casteist)mentality of Savarn (High Castes) Hindus and on the basis of Samajik Bhaichara (Social Brotherhood) we have to take them also along with us and only then “Samtamulak Samaj Vyavastha” can be established in this country in accordance with the thinking of the architect of Indian Constitution, Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar and only after that Sarv Samaj will be unified and disparities or casteism in the society will be completely eradicated forever.
Along with this, they will get full opportunity to move in every walk of life. The members of our party should always remain cautious from different kind of rumours, which may be spread by opposition parties during elections.
Apart from the above, I also appeal to all of you – “Beware that your vote is invaluable. No vote should be allowed to be purchased. No vote should be allowed to be looted. No vote should be left out from being cast and no selfish person should misuse your vote on account of defrauding or misleading you in the name of caste, money, religion or emotions.
Hence, to save democracy you have to give power into hands of right person to safeguard the interests of your KARNATAKA State, so that you may formulate the policy of :Sarvajan Hitai – Sarvjan Sukhai” in all the areas and make the poor and unemployed persons of Bahujan Samaj and Savarn Samajhappy.”
In the end, keeping in view all the above mentioned observations, I “Appeal” to the supporters and well wishers of my party that you should not be misled by any alluring promises of Election Manifestoes of opposition parties and that you should follow the appeal of B.S.P. which is your own party, to make the candidates of B.S.P. victorious in the General Assembly Elections of KARNATAKA by pressing the button against “Elephant” (Haathi), the election symbol of B.S.P. I hope and expect that you will accept my “Appeal” and act accordingly.

For votes: . BSP supremo Mayawati and party leaders waving to the crowd in Gulbarga
Congress, BJP targeted
Ms. Mayawati accused the Congress and BJP of not protecting the quota rights of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
She said that thousands of posts reserved for SC/STs had not been filled and the number of backlog vacancies in the country was alarmingly high.
Addressing a public meeting in Gulbarga, Ms. Mayawati alleged that all governments at the Centre after Independence had been anti-reservation and anti-poor.
The economic policies pursued by Congress and BJP governments were blatantly anti-poor and pro-rich.
She said it was only in Uttar Pradesh, after the BSP came to power, that all backlog vacancies had been filled.
“All that is required is the will and commitment for the welfare of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and the oppressed sections, which was lacking in all other political parties,” she said.
She said the BSP was a cadre-based party and it was the funds provided by workers that kept the party going and not the money provided by industrialists and “that’s why we are independent and take pro-people decisions.”
Singling out Congress for attack, Ms. Mayawati questioned the contribution of that party and its governments for the welfare of the Muslims, who traditionally supported it.
“The economic condition of the Muslims is poor,” she said
She asked the Muslims to identify the parties that really worked for their welfare and support them.
The BSP leader said she favoured extension of reservation benefits to Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath Christians and Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath Muslims and added that she had already written to the Union Government in this regard. However, this reservation should be extended only after increasing the percentage of reservation for the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
Ms. Mayawati called upon the people of the State to defeat the BJP, Congress and regional parties and support the BSP which aimed at the welfare of all sections of society, including upper castes.
Party general secretaries Satish Chandra Mishra and P.G.R. Sindhia spoke. The former Minister D.T. Jayakumar and other leaders were present.
‘Mining mafia has pumped in Rs. 2,000 crore for elections’
The mining mafia has been giving away money to parties to gain political patronage’
‘Candidates of all the three major parties have distributed coupons as parallel currency’
BANGALORE: Accusing the mining mafia of pumping in Rs. 2,000 crore black money in favour of various candidates to lure voters in the ongoing polls, it is demanded that the entire mining activity in the State should be suspended.
Most of the mining activity being undertaken in Karnataka was illegal and was nothing but looting of public mineral resources.
To get political patronage for its illegal activity, the mining mafia had been giving away money to political parties, he alleged.
The mining activity should be stopped till steps were taken to prevent illegal mining. If it is not possible for the State to initiate such a measure, then the Union Government itself should enact legislation to suspend mining activities in Karnataka, he said.
Coupons
Such was the influence of money power in the elections that the candidates of all the three major political parties had distributed coupons, as parallel currency, to voters.
These coupons could be exchanged later for gift articles, he alleged.
In addition, cash was also distributed directly.
It had not been possible for the Election Commission, though it had introduced stringent measures, to ensure a fully fair elections, while ambulances were being used by candidates to transport vast amounts of money.
Main sources for these vices were mafia, particularly the mining one. The use of big money, pumped in by the mining mafia, in the elections had posed a direct threat to democracy and had hijacked the electoral process, he observed.
Horse-trading
If these elections throw up a hung Assembly, the mining mafia would play a major role in deciding the shape of the government by indulging in horse-trading.
No other State had such large scale illegal mining as being witnessed in Karnataka and politicians and bureaucrats who have colluded with the mining lobby be arrested. Fast-track courts should also be set up for their trial.
People of Karnataka must reject those trying to take democracy for a ride with their money and muscle power. Such things were detrimental to the interests of the State and its development. And hence vote for BSP.
Poll surveys will be proved wrong
All the poll surveys published in the media will be proves wrong, and the BSP will register a surprising victory in most of the constituencies.
Parties indulge in mud-slinging act
With just a day left for the final phase of the Assembly polls, all the three major parties - the BJP, Congress and the JD(S) - made a beeline to the office of the chief electoral officer with various charges against each other.
The BJP has requested the Election Commission to close the Karnataka- Maharashtra border with immediate effect as it alleged that liquor and cash is being smuggled into the State for distribution among voters.
The BJP has alleged that in Jewargi constituency wherein former chief minister N Dharam Singh is contesting, ambulances are being used for distribution of money to voters. No action had been taken despite specific complaints lodged with the returning officer, the petition said.
Meanwhile, the Congress on Tuesday reiterated its charge that BJP’s chief ministerial candidate B S Yeddyurappa was trying to woo Dalit and Muslim voters by enticement and gratification.
The Congress has requested the EC to direct authorities concerned to take cognisance of the “provoking statement and action” and register a case against Yeddyurappa. The JD(S) appealed to the EC to stop a local television channel from telecasting a pre-poll survey, claiming it would impact voting.
Meanwhile, the EC has changed the Returning Officer Gulbarga (rural) B M Risaldar for dereliction of duty. He has been replaced by Horticulture department deputy director Krishnamurthy. The EC has ordered political leaders to vacate from constituencies going to polls in the third phase
Cash, liquor seized
A huge quantity of liquor and cash has been seized by police during the last few weeks, according to Director General of Police Shrikumar
Elaborating on the arrangements for third phase of polling on May 22, he told reporters that liquor worth Rs 60 crore and Rs 40 crore in cash were seized.
Within a period of 45 days, he said the Department would release the names of candidates from various political parties who were allegedly involved in smuggling of liquor. “The police officials have been investigating into all the cases. Those involved in the poll code violation will face action,'’ he stated. He said that his department was fully prepared to ensure a peaceful polls during the third phase.
Smuggling Meanwhile, the Belgaum police seized liquor worth Rs 32 lakh which was being smuggled in two trucks to different parts of Karnataka. A huge amount of wine and spirit was being carried in the trucks which were intercepted near Kugnoli on Tuesday afternoon.
In Bijapur district, the police raided a farm house at Moratagi and recovered 500 cases of duplicate liquor worth Rs 6 lakh. The farm owner is said to be a relative of Sindagi BJP candidate.
Wealth multiplies in just 4 yrs
Believe it or not, politics is the most lucrative profession in the state. And some politicians have proved it by earning crores of rupees in just four years!
A report released by Delhi-based Association for Democratic Reforms (ARD), formed by professors of the IIMs, showed how dramatically asset of some politicians, who got elected in the 2004 Assembly election, has gone up in the last four years. In some cases, the increase in the value of the assets is more than 2,000 per cent! The ARD, which is striving to create an awareness among the voters to elect honest persons, has collected information regarding assets of the ex-MLAs, who are contesting in this elections, from the asset declaration affidavits submitted by them to the Election Commission.
Total asset of 28 Congress candidates has gone up from Rs 34.60 crore to 182.58 crore, showing an increase of 427.7 per cent. Assets of 22 BJP candidates has surged from Rs 14.15 crore to Rs 45.48 crore, registering a growth of 221.5 per cent. Assets of the 13 JD(S) candidates has increased from Rs 9.24 crore to Rs 22.65 crore, posting a growth of 145.2 per cent.
Among the Congress candidates, Ajaykumar Sarnayak from Bilgi has the credit of accumulating highest wealth in the last four years. Value of his asset has moved up from Rs 93 lakh in 2004 to Rs 21.25 crore in 2008, registering a growth of 2181 per cent! Among the BJP candidates, Rajkumar Patil Telkur from Sedam constituency is the richest man. Net value of his wealth has gone up from just Rs 12 lakh in 2004 to Rs 2.59 crore in 2008, posting an impressive growth of 1990 per cent!
Mallikarjun Khuba from Basavakalyan is the richest man among the JD(S) ex-MLAs. Value of his assets rose from Rs 36 lakh in 2004 to Rs 3.43 crore in 2008, showing an increase of 847.9 per cent.
Prof Trilochan Sastry, the brain behind the ARD, said there were still several politicians (who are contesting from different constituencies in North Karnataka) who deliberately avoided giving complete information regarding their assets to the Election Commission. He urged the EC to initiate a CBI probe against such politicians and also against those whose property had gone up phenomenally in the last four years. “There is an urgent need for investigating source of income of politicians and how they amassed wealth of such an unimaginable size and value,” he added.
BSP hoping for change of fortune in Bagalkot dist
The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) has fielded Ravi Kambale who is a powerful Madiga (SC-left) is hopeful of winning since,no candidate has won from here for the second time in a row. This ‘jinx’ is haunting Karjol, who got elected in the last election. Besides, ‘failure’ of implementing the ration card distribution may also work against Karjol in this election. Madiga (SC-left) and Reddy votes play a deciding role in the constituency. Anti-incumbency factor, delay in implementing the Rs 100 crore drinking water project, stopping of Ranna memorial building works are working in favour of Ravi Kambale.
Criticising the BJP for claiming to replicate Gujarat model in the State, SM Krishna said after Godhra carnage in 2002, people have come to know what actually the Gujarat model is. Karnataka do not need any other model. The people here will reject the BJP.
He also accused the BJP spending lavishly on elections.
Reacting to the hooch tragedy, S M Krishna blamed the previous JD(S)-BJP Government’s “hurried” decision to ban arrack for it. “The decision to ban arrack should have been taken after plugging all loopholes. But the previous coalition took the decision in a hurry,” he stated
Congress demands inquiry
Congress leader K H Srinivas has demanded that the state government should conduct an inquiry into allegations made by former chief minister H D Kumaraswamy against another former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa. Srinivas was referring to Kumaraswamy’s statement that Yeddyurappa had illegally stored arrack to distribute during the elections.
Addressing a press conference in Bangalore on Tuesday, Srinivas said that Kumaraswamy’s allegations should be taken seriously and a thorough investigation should be conducted. “Kumaraswamy has said he has proof to support his allegation. If his allegation is proved true, Yeddyurappa’s result should be annulled, if he gets elected”, he demanded.

Preface
Dhammapada is one of the best known books of the Pitaka. It is a
collection of the teachings of the Buddha expressed in clear, pithy
verses. These verses were culled from various discourses given by the
Buddha in the course of forty-five years of his teaching, as he
travelled in the valley of the Ganges (Ganga) and the sub-mountain tract
of the Himalayas. These verses are often terse, witty and convincing.
Whenever similes are used, they are those that are easily understood
even by a child, e.g., the cart’s wheel, a man’s shadow, a deep pool,
flowers. Through these verses, the Buddha exhorts one to achieve that
greatest of all conquests, the conquest of self; to escape from the
evils of passion, hatred and ignorance; and to strive hard to attain
freedom from craving and freedom from the round of rebirths. Each verse
contains a truth (dhamma), an exhortation, a piece of advice.
Dhammapada Verses
Dhammapada verses are often quoted by many in many countries of the
world and the book has been translated into many languages. One of the
earliest translations into English was made by Max Muller in 1870. Other
translations that followed are those by F.L. Woodward in 1921, by
Wagismara and Saunders in 1920, and by A.L. Edmunds (Hymns of the Faith)
in 1902. Of the recent translations, that by Narada Mahathera is the
most widely known. Dr. Walpola Rahula also has translated some selected
verses from the Dhammapada and has given them at the end of his book
“What the Buddha Taught,” revised edition. The Chinese translated the
Dhammapada from Sanskrit. The Chinese version of the Dhammapada was
translated into English by Samuel Beal (Texts from the Buddhist Canon
known as Dhammapada) in 1878.
In Burma, translations have been made into Burmese, mostly in
prose, some with paraphrases, explanations and abridgements of stories
relating to the verses. In recent years, some books on Dhammapada with
both Burmese and English translations, together with Pali verses, have
also been published.
The Dhammapada is the second book of the Khuddaka Nikaya of the
Suttanta Pitaka, consisting of four hundred and twenty-three verses in
twenty-six chapters arranged under various heads. In the Dhammapada are
enshrined the basic tenets of the Buddha’s Teaching.
Verse (21) which begins with “Appamado amatapadam” meaning
“Mindfulness is the way to Nibbana, the Deathless,” is a very important
and significant verse. Mindfulness is the most important element in
Tranquillity and Insight Meditation. The last exhortation of the Buddha
just before he passed away was also to be mindful and to endeavour
diligently (to complete the task of attaining freedom from the round of
rebirths through Magga and Phala). It is generally accepted that it was
on account of this verse on mindfulness that the Emperor Asoka of India
and King Anawrahta of Burma became converts to Buddhism. Both kings had
helped greatly in the propagation of Buddhism in their respective
countries.
In verse (29) the Buddha has coupled his call for mindfulness with a
sense of urgency. The verse runs: “Mindful amongst the negligent,
highly vigilant amongst the drowsy, the wise man advances like a race
horse, leaving the jade behind.”
Verses (1) and (2) illustrate the immutable law of Kamma, under
which every deed, good or bad, comes back to the doer. Here, the Buddha
emphasizes the importance of mind in all our actions and speaks of the
inevitable consequences of our deeds, words and thoughts.
Verses (153) and (154) are expressions of sublime and intense joy
uttered by the Buddha at the very moment of his Enlightenment. These two
verses give us a graphic account of the culmination of the Buddha’s
search for Truth.
They
tell us about the Buddha finding the ‘house-builder,’ Craving, the
cause of repeated births in Samsara. Having rid of Craving, for him no
more houses (khandhas) shall be built by Craving, and there will be no
more rebirths.
Verses (277), (278) and (279) are also important as they tell us
about the impermanent, unsatisfactory and the non-self nature of all
conditioned things; it is very important that one should perceive the
true nature of all conditioned things and become weary of the khandhas,
for this is the Path to Purity.
Then the Buddha shows us the Path leading to the liberation from
round of rebirths, i.e., the Path with eight constituents (Atthangiko
Maggo) in Verse (273). Further, the Buddha exhorts us to make our own
effort in Verse (276) saying, “You yourselves should make the effort,
the Tathagatas only show the way.” Verse (183) gives us the teaching of
the Buddhas. It says, “Do no evil, cultivate merit, purify one’s mind;
this is the teaching of the Buddhas.”
In Verse (24) the Buddha shows us the way to success in life, thus:
“If a person is energetic, mindful, pure in thought, word and deed, if
he does everything with care and consideration, restrains his senses;
earns his living according to the Dhamma and is not unheedful, then, the
fame and fortune of that mindful person increase.”
These are some of the examples of the gems to be found in the
Dhammapada. Dhammapada is, indeed, a philosopher, guide and friend to
all.
This translation of verses is from Pali into English. The Pali text
used is the Dhammapada Pali approved by the Sixth International
Buddhist Synod. We have tried to make the translation as close to the
text as possible, but sometimes it is very difficult, if not impossible,
to find an English word that would exactly correspond to a Pali word.
For example, we cannot yet find a single English word that can convey
the real meaning of the word “dukkha” used in the exposition of the Four
Noble Truths. In this translation, wherever the term “dukkha” carries
the same meaning as it does in the Four Noble Truths, it is left
untranslated; but only explained.
When there is any doubt in the interpretation of the dhamma concept
of the verses or when the literal meaning is vague or unintelligible,
we have referred to the Commentary (in Pali) and the Burmese translation
of the Commentary by the Nyaunglebin Sayadaw, a very learned thera. On
many occasions we have also consulted the teachers of the Dhamma
(Dhammacariyas) for elucidation of perplexing words and sentences.
In addition we have also consulted Burmese translations of the
Dhammapada, especially the translation by the Union Buddha Sasana
Council, the translation by the Sangaja Sayadaw (1805-1876), a leading
Maha thera in the time of King Mindon and King Thibaw, and also the
translation by Sayadaw U Thittila, an Ovadacariya Maha thera of the
Burma Pitaka Association. The book by the Sangaja Sayadaw also includes
paraphrases and abridgements of the Dhammapada stories.
Dhammapada Stories
Summaries of the Dhammapada stories are given in the second part of
the book as it is generally believed that the Dhammapada Commentary
written by Buddhaghosa (5th century A.D.) is a great help towards a
better understanding of the Dhammapada. Three hundred and five stories
are included in the Commentary. Most of the incidents mentioned in the
stories took place during the life-time of the Buddha. In some stories,
some facts about some past existences were also retold.
In writing summaries of stories we have not tried to translate the
Commentary. We have simply culled the facts of the stories and have
rewritten them briefly: A translation of the verses is given at the end
of each story.
It only remains for me now to express my deep and sincere gratitude
to the members of the Editorial Committee, Burma Pitaka Association,
for having meticulously gone through the script; to Sayagyi Dhammacariya
U Aung Moe and to U Thein Maung, editor, Burma Pitaka Association, for
helping in the translation of the verses.

ધમ્મપદ: વિશ્વની 119 શાસ્ત્રીય ભાષાઓમાં છંદો અને વાર્તાઓ *********
ફક્ત મફત વિતરણ માટે, ધમ્મની ભેટ તરીકે.
પૂર્વનિર્દી
ધમપદા એ પીતાકાના સૌથી જાણીતા પુસ્તકોમાંથી એક છે. તે સ્પષ્ટ, દ્વેષી
છંદોમાં વ્યક્ત કરાયેલા બુદ્ધના ઉપદેશોનો સંગ્રહ છે. આ છંદો તેમના શિક્ષણના
પંચાવન વર્ષ દરમિયાન બુદ્ધ દ્વારા આપવામાં આવેલા વિવિધ પ્રવચનોથી ખેંચી
લેવામાં આવ્યા હતા, કારણ કે તે ગંગાની ખીણ (ગંગા) અને હિમાલયના પેટા માઉન્ટ
માર્ગમાં પ્રવાસ કરતો હતો. આ છંદો ઘણીવાર કંટાળાજનક, વિનોદી અને
ખાતરીપૂર્વક હોય છે. જ્યારે પણ સિમલ્સનો ઉપયોગ કરવામાં આવે છે, ત્યારે તે
તે છે જે બાળક દ્વારા પણ સરળતાથી સમજી શકાય છે, દા.ત., કાર્ટનું ચક્ર,
માણસની છાયા, deep ંડા પૂલ, ફૂલો. આ છંદો દ્વારા, બુદ્ધ બધા વિજય, સ્વનો
વિજય મેળવવાની તે પ્રાપ્ત કરવા માટે એકને પ્રોત્સાહન આપે છે; ઉત્કટ, દ્વેષ
અને અજ્ orance ાનતાની દુષ્ટતામાંથી બચવા માટે; અને પુનર્જન્મના રાઉન્ડથી
તૃષ્ણા અને સ્વતંત્રતામાંથી સ્વતંત્રતા મેળવવા માટે સખત પ્રયત્ન કરવો. દરેક
શ્લોકમાં સત્ય (ધમ્મ), એક પ્રોત્સાહન, સલાહનો ટુકડો હોય છે.
ધમ્મપદ શ્લોકો
ધમ્મપદ છંદો ઘણીવાર વિશ્વના ઘણા દેશોમાં ટાંકવામાં આવે છે અને
પુસ્તકનું ઘણી ભાષાઓમાં ભાષાંતર કરવામાં આવ્યું છે. અંગ્રેજીમાંના
પ્રારંભિક અનુવાદોમાંથી એક 1870 માં મેક્સ મ્યુલર દ્વારા કરવામાં આવ્યું
હતું. ત્યારબાદના અન્ય અનુવાદો એફ.એલ. વુડવર્ડ 1921 માં, 1920 માં
વાગીસ્મારા અને સોન્ડર્સ દ્વારા, અને 1902 માં એ.એલ. એડમંડ્સ (વિશ્વાસના
સ્તોત્રો) દ્વારા. તાજેતરના અનુવાદોમાં, કે નારદા મહારાધરા દ્વારા સૌથી વધુ
જાણીતા છે. ડ Dr .. વોલપોલા રાહુલાએ પણ ધમ્મપદમાંથી કેટલાક પસંદ કરેલા
શ્લોકોનો ભાષાંતર કર્યો છે અને તેમના પુસ્તક “ધ બુદ્ધ ટીચડ”, સુધારેલી
આવૃત્તિના અંતે તેમને આપ્યા છે. ચીનીઓએ સંસ્કૃતથી ધમ્મપદનું ભાષાંતર
કર્યું. ધમ્મપદના ચાઇનીઝ સંસ્કરણને 1878 માં સેમ્યુઅલ બીલ (ધમપડા તરીકે
ઓળખાતા બૌદ્ધ કેનનનાં ગ્રંથો) દ્વારા અંગ્રેજીમાં ભાષાંતર કરવામાં આવ્યું
હતું.
બર્મામાં, બર્મીઝમાં અનુવાદો કરવામાં આવ્યા છે, મોટે ભાગે ગદ્યમાં,
કેટલાકને છંદોને લગતી વાર્તાઓના પેરાફ્રેઝ, ખુલાસા અને સંક્ષિપ્તમાં.
તાજેતરના વર્ષોમાં, ધમ્મપાદા પરના કેટલાક પુસ્તકો બર્મીઝ અને અંગ્રેજી બંને
અનુવાદો સાથે, પાલી શ્લોકો સાથે, પણ પ્રકાશિત કરવામાં આવ્યા છે.
ધમ્મપદ એ સુતાન્ટા પીટાકાના ખુદકા નિકાયાનું બીજું પુસ્તક છે, જેમાં
વિવિધ વડાઓ હેઠળ ગોઠવાયેલા છવીસ પ્રકરણોમાં ચારસો અને તેવીસ છંદોનો સમાવેશ
થાય છે. ધમ્મપદમાં બુદ્ધના શિક્ષણના મૂળભૂત સિધ્ધાંતો સ્થાપિત કરવામાં
આવ્યા છે.
શ્લોક (21) જે “અપ્પામાડો અમાતપડમ” થી શરૂ થાય છે, જેનો અર્થ
“માઇન્ડફુલનેસ એ નિબબાના, ડેથલેસ,” એક ખૂબ જ મહત્વપૂર્ણ અને નોંધપાત્ર
શ્લોક છે. માઇન્ડફુલનેસ એ સુલેહ -શાંતિ અને આંતરદૃષ્ટિ ધ્યાનમાં સૌથી
મહત્વપૂર્ણ તત્વ છે. બુદ્ધનું તેમનું નિધન થાય તે પહેલાં જ છેલ્લું
પ્રોત્સાહન પણ ધ્યાનપૂર્વક હતું અને ખંતપૂર્વક પ્રયાસ કરવો (મેગ્ગા અને ફલા
દ્વારા પુનર્જન્મના રાઉન્ડમાંથી સ્વતંત્રતા પ્રાપ્ત કરવાનું કાર્ય પૂર્ણ
કરવું). સામાન્ય રીતે તે સ્વીકારવામાં આવે છે કે માઇન્ડફુલનેસ પર આ શ્લોકને
કારણે તે ભારતનો સમ્રાટ અસોકા અને બર્માના રાજા અનાવરહતા બૌદ્ધ ધર્મમાં
ફેરવાઈ ગયો. બંને રાજાઓએ તેમના સંબંધિત દેશોમાં બૌદ્ધ ધર્મના પ્રસારમાં ખૂબ
મદદ કરી હતી.
શ્લોકમાં (29) બુદ્ધે તાકીદની ભાવનાથી માઇન્ડફુલનેસ માટેના તેમના ક
call લને જોડી દીધા છે. આ શ્લોક ચાલે છે: “નિંદ્રામાં બેદરકારી, ખૂબ જાગૃત
લોકોમાં, જ્ wise ાની માણસ રેસ ઘોડાની જેમ આગળ વધે છે, જેડને પાછળ છોડી દે
છે.”
છંદો (1) અને (2) કમ્માના અપરિવર્તનશીલ કાયદાને સમજાવે છે, જેના હેઠળ
દરેક ખત, સારા કે ખરાબ, પાછા આવનારા પર આવે છે. અહીં, બુદ્ધ આપણી બધી
ક્રિયાઓમાં મનના મહત્વ પર ભાર મૂકે છે અને આપણા કાર્યો, શબ્દો અને વિચારોના
અનિવાર્ય પરિણામોની વાત કરે છે.
છંદો (153) અને (154) એ તેમના જ્ l ાનની ખૂબ જ ક્ષણે બુદ્ધ દ્વારા
ઉચ્ચાર અને તીવ્ર આનંદના અભિવ્યક્તિઓ છે. આ બે શ્લોકો અમને બુદ્ધની સત્યની
શોધની પરાકાષ્ઠાનો ગ્રાફિક એકાઉન્ટ આપે છે.
તેઓ
અમને બુદ્ધ વિશે કહે છે કે સંસારમાં વારંવાર જન્મોનું કારણ ‘ઘરના બિલ્ડર’,
તૃષ્ણા. તૃષ્ણાથી છૂટકારો મેળવ્યો, તેના માટે કોઈ વધુ મકાનો (ખંડ) તૃષ્ણા
દ્વારા બનાવવામાં આવશે નહીં, અને વધુ પુનર્જન્મ નહીં થાય.
છંદો (277), (278) અને (279) પણ મહત્વપૂર્ણ છે કારણ કે તેઓ અમને
અસ્થાયી, અસંતોષકારક અને બધી કન્ડિશન્ડ વસ્તુઓના સ્વ-સ્વ-પ્રકૃતિ વિશે કહે
છે; તે ખૂબ જ મહત્વપૂર્ણ છે કે વ્યક્તિએ બધી કન્ડિશન્ડ વસ્તુઓના સાચા
સ્વભાવને સમજવું જોઈએ અને ખાંડથી કંટાળી જવું જોઈએ, કારણ કે આ શુદ્ધતાનો
માર્ગ છે.
પછી બુદ્ધ અમને પુનર્જન્મના રાઉન્ડથી મુક્તિ તરફ દોરી જવાનો માર્ગ
બતાવે છે, એટલે કે, શ્લોક (273) માં આઠ ઘટકો (એટંગિકો મેગ્ગો) સાથેના
માર્ગ. આગળ, બુદ્ધ અમને શ્લોક (276) માં પોતાનો પ્રયાસ કરવા માટે
પ્રોત્સાહિત કરે છે કે, “તમારે જાતે જ પ્રયાસ કરવો જોઈએ, તથાગાટનો ફક્ત
રસ્તો બતાવવામાં આવશે.” શ્લોક (183) આપણને બુદ્ધોનું શિક્ષણ આપે છે. તે કહે
છે, “કોઈ દુષ્ટ ન કરો, યોગ્યતા કેળવશો, કોઈનું મન શુદ્ધ કરો; આ બુદ્ધોનું
શિક્ષણ છે.”
શ્લોકમાં
(૨)) બુદ્ધ અમને જીવનમાં સફળતાનો માર્ગ બતાવે છે, આમ: “જો કોઈ વ્યક્તિ get
ર્જાસભર, માઇન્ડફુલ, વિચારમાં શુદ્ધ, શબ્દ અને ખત છે, જો તે સંભાળ અને
વિચારણાથી બધું કરે છે, તો તેની સંવેદનાઓને નિયંત્રિત કરે છે; તેની કમાણી
કરે છે; ધમ્મ અનુસાર જીવવું અને તે બેભાન નથી, તો પછી, તે માઇન્ડફુલ
વ્યક્તિની ખ્યાતિ અને નસીબમાં વધારો થાય છે. “
ધમ્મપડામાં મળેલા રત્નના આ કેટલાક ઉદાહરણો છે. ધમ્મપદ, ખરેખર, એક ફિલસૂફ, માર્ગદર્શિકા અને બધા માટે મિત્ર છે.
છંદોનો આ અનુવાદ પાલીથી અંગ્રેજીમાં છે. વપરાયેલ પાલી ટેક્સ્ટ એ
ધમ્મપદ પાલી છે જે છઠ્ઠા આંતરરાષ્ટ્રીય બૌદ્ધ સિનોદ દ્વારા મંજૂર છે. અમે
અનુવાદને શક્ય તેટલું ટેક્સ્ટની નજીક બનાવવાનો પ્રયાસ કર્યો છે, પરંતુ
કેટલીકવાર તે ખૂબ જ મુશ્કેલ હોય છે, જો અશક્ય ન હોય તો, અંગ્રેજી શબ્દ
શોધવાનું કે જે પાલી શબ્દને અનુરૂપ છે. ઉદાહરણ તરીકે, આપણે હજી સુધી એક પણ
અંગ્રેજી શબ્દ શોધી શકતા નથી જે ચાર ઉમદા સત્યના પ્રદર્શનમાં ઉપયોગમાં
લેવાતા “દુખા” શબ્દનો વાસ્તવિક અર્થ વ્યક્ત કરી શકે છે. આ અનુવાદમાં, જ્યાં
પણ “દુખા” શબ્દ ચાર ઉમદા સત્યમાં કરે છે તે જ અર્થ વહન કરે છે, ત્યાં તે
અનુલક્ષીને બાકી છે; પરંતુ માત્ર સમજાવ્યું.
જ્યારે છંદોની ધમ્મ વિભાવનાના અર્થઘટનમાં કોઈ શંકા હોય અથવા જ્યારે
શાબ્દિક અર્થ અસ્પષ્ટ અથવા અસ્પષ્ટ હોય, ત્યારે આપણે કોમેન્ટરી (પાલી) અને
ન્યુંગલબિન સયાદાવ દ્વારા ટિપ્પણીના બર્મીઝ અનુવાદનો ઉલ્લેખ કર્યો છે, જે
ખૂબ જ વિદ્વાન છે થેરા. ઘણા પ્રસંગોએ અમે ધમની અને વાક્યોની સ્પષ્ટતા માટે
ધમ્મ (ધમ્મકરીયા) ના શિક્ષકોની સલાહ પણ લીધી છે.
આ ઉપરાંત અમે ધમ્મપદના બર્મીઝ અનુવાદોની પણ સલાહ લીધી છે, ખાસ કરીને
યુનિયન બુદ્ધ સાસના કાઉન્સિલ દ્વારા અનુવાદ, સંગજા સયાદાવ (1805-1876)
દ્વારા અનુવાદ, કિંગ મિંડન અને કિંગ થિબાના સમયમાં અગ્રણી મહા થેરા, અને તે
પણ બર્મા પિટાકા એસોસિએશનના ઓવાડકરીયા મહા થેરા સૈયદાવ યુ થિટિલા દ્વારા
અનુવાદ. સંગજા સૈયદાવના પુસ્તકમાં ધમ્મપદ વાર્તાઓના પેરાફ્રેસેસ અને
સંક્ષિપ્તમાં પણ શામેલ છે.
ધમ્મપદ વાર્તાઓ
ધમ્મપદ વાર્તાઓના સારાંશ પુસ્તકના બીજા ભાગમાં આપવામાં આવે છે કારણ કે
સામાન્ય રીતે માનવામાં આવે છે કે બુદ્ધઘોસા (5 મી સદી એ.ડી.) દ્વારા લખેલી
ધમ્મપદ ટિપ્પણી એ ધમમપડાની સારી સમજણ માટે એક મોટી મદદ છે. ટિપ્પણીમાં
ત્રણસો અને પાંચ વાર્તાઓ શામેલ છે. વાર્તાઓમાં ઉલ્લેખિત મોટાભાગની ઘટનાઓ
બુદ્ધના જીવનકાળ દરમિયાન થઈ હતી. કેટલીક વાર્તાઓમાં, કેટલાક ભૂતકાળના
અસ્તિત્વ વિશેની કેટલીક તથ્યો પણ ફરીથી લાવવામાં આવી હતી.
વાર્તાઓના સારાંશ લખતા અમે ટિપ્પણીનો ભાષાંતર કરવાનો પ્રયાસ કર્યો
નથી. અમે ફક્ત વાર્તાઓના તથ્યોને કાબૂમાં રાખ્યા છે અને ટૂંકમાં તેમને
ફરીથી લખ્યું છે: દરેક વાર્તાના અંતમાં છંદોનો અનુવાદ આપવામાં આવ્યો છે.
સંપાદકીય સમિતિના સભ્યો, બર્મા પિટાકા એસોસિએશનના સભ્યો પ્રત્યે
સાવચેતીપૂર્વક સ્ક્રિપ્ટમાંથી પસાર થયા માટે મારા deep ંડા અને નિષ્ઠાવાન
આભાર વ્યક્ત કરવા માટે હવે મારા માટે જ બાકી છે; સૈયાગી ધમ્મકરીયા યુ આંગ
મો અને બર્મા પિટાકા એસોસિએશનના સંપાદક, થિન મૌંગને છંદોના અનુવાદમાં મદદ
કરવા માટે.

धम्मतापाडा पिकाका उत्कृष्ट ज्ञात पुस्तकहरू मध्ये एक हो। यो बुद्धका
शिक्षाहरूको संग्रह प्रस्ट, पिध्येजहरू व्यक्त गरिएको छ। यी पदहरूले
बुद्धले गरेका विभिन्न भाषणहरूबाट उनको उनको शिक्षणको क्रममा उनको पुष्टि
भयो, किनकि उनी गंगाको बेंसीमा यात्रा गरे (गंगा) र हिमालयको उप-पर्खालको
उप-पर्वतको उपस्राफ। यी पदहरू प्रायः ट्यूसेस र चित्तबुझ्दो हुन्छन्।
Whenever similes are used, they are those that are easily understood
even by a child, e.g., the cart’s wheel, a man’s shadow, a deep pool,
flowers. यी पदहरू मार्फत बुद्धले सबैलाई अर्कै विजय प्राप्त गर्न आग्रह
गरे जुन उहाँमाथि विजय प्राप्त गर्न आग्रह गर्दछ; जोश, घृणा र अज्ञानता को
दुष्टता बाट उम्कन; र शव्द र शव्दको साथ पेज र स्वतन्त्रबाट स्वतन्त्रता

बुद्धको शिक्षाको आधारभूत टेनेटलाई आकार दिइन्छ।
पद (21) जो “Appamado Amattapadam” मनोनयन हो “को साथ सुरू गर्नुहोस्”

राजाले आराधक देशहरूमा बौद्ध धर्मको घोषणामा ठूलो सहयोग गरेका थिए।
पद (2)) मा बुद्धले जरुरीताको भावनाले मनको लागि आह्वानलाई जोडेको छ।
पद रनले यसो भन्छ: “लापरवाही, निकै कठोर, निन्द्राहरूबीच अत्यन्तै सतर्क,
ज्ञानी मानिसहरू एक रेस घोडामा बढ्दै गए, जेडलाई पछाडि छोडिदिए।”
पदहरू (1) र (2) कुमाको अपरिवर्तनीय कानूनको वर्णन गर्नुहोस्, जुन
प्रत्येक काममा, राम्रो वा नराम्रो, फेरि डोररमा फर्कन्छ। यहाँ, बुद्धले
हाम्रा सबै कार्यहरूमा दिमागको महत्त्वलाई जोड दिन्छ र हाम्रो कार्य, शब्द र
विचारहरूको अपरिहार्य परिणामहरूको कुरा गर्दछ।
Verses (153) and (154) are expressions of sublime and intense joy
uttered by the Buddha at the very moment of his Enlightenment. These two
verses give us a graphic account of the culmination of the Buddha’s
search for Truth.
They
tell us about the Buddha finding the ‘house-builder,’ Craving, the
cause of repeated births in Samsara. Having rid of Craving, for him no
more houses (khandhas) shall be built by Craving, and there will be no
more rebirths.
Verses (277), (278) and (279) are also important as they tell us
about the impermanent, unsatisfactory and the non-self nature of all
conditioned things; it is very important that one should perceive the
true nature of all conditioned things and become weary of the khandhas,
for this is the Path to Purity.
Then the Buddha shows us the Path leading to the liberation from
round of rebirths, i.e., the Path with eight constituents (Atthangiko
Maggo) in Verse (273). Further, the Buddha exhorts us to make our own
effort in Verse (276) saying, “You yourselves should make the effort,
the Tathagatas only show the way.” Verse (183) gives us the teaching of
the Buddhas. It says, “Do no evil, cultivate merit, purify one’s mind;
this is the teaching of the Buddhas.”
पद
(2 24) बुद्धले हामीलाई जीवनमा सफलताको बाटो देखाउँदछ, यसरी: “यदि एक
व्यक्ति ऊर्जावान, शब्द, यदि उसले विचार, शब्द र कार्यमा सबै कुरा गर्छ भने
उसको इन्द्रियलाई संयम गर्दछ। धम्मणाका अनुसार बाँचिरहेका छन् र
अविश्वसनीय छैन, तब, प्रख्यात व्यक्तिको प्रख्यात व्यक्तित्व र भाग्य बढ्ने
छ। “
यी धलमपादामा फेला पर्ने रत्नका लागि कृषिका केही उदाहरणहरू हुन्। धम्मतापादा, वास्तवमा, दार्शनिक, गाईड र मित्र सबैको लागि छ।
यस अनुवाद पदहरूको अनुवाद पालीबाट अंग्रेजीमा छ। प्रयोग गरिएको पाना
पाठ छैठौं अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय बौद्ध सिकारले अनुमोदित भएको छ। हामीले अनुवाद
पाठको रूपमा पाठको नजिक बनाउनको लागि प्रयास गरेका छौं, तर कहिलेकाँही यो
धेरै गाह्रो हुन्छ, यदि असम्भव छैन भने, एक अंग्रेजी शब्द पत्ता लगाउन जुन
सिली शब्दमा ठीक छ। उदाहरण को लागी, हामी अझै एकल अंग्रेजी शब्द पाउन
सक्दैनौं कि चार महान सत्यको पर्दाफासनमा प्रयोग गरिएको “डर्कहा” शब्दको
वास्तविक अर्थ प्रदान गर्न सक्दैन। यस अनुवादमा जहाँ जहाँ शर्त “डर्कख” वजन
चार महान सत्यहरूमा जत्तिकै यसको अर्थ राख्छ, यो अक्सर छोडियो; तर मात्र
व्याख्या गरियो।
जब पदहरूको धम्मर अवधारणाको अर्थमा वा शाब्दिक अर्थ अस्पष्ट वा
अस्थिरता हो, हामीले कमबिनबिनले बौलार्य अनुवादलाई र एक धेरै सिकेका छौं
अती। धेरै अवसरहरूमा हामीले अलमल्ल गर्दै शब्दहरू र वाक्यको इम्प्लेसिंगको
लागि धम्मेद (धम्मता (धम्मता (धम्मता (धम्मता (धम्मता (धम्मता (धम्मता

धम्मतापाडा कथाहरू
धमम्मापादा कथाहरूको सारांशलाई यो सामान्यतया विश्वास गरिन्छ कि
बुधर्ग (5th औं शताब्दी ए.डी.) को राम्रो समझतर्फ लिखित एक ठूलो मद्दत हो।
कमेन्टरीमा तीन सय पाँच कथाहरू समावेश छन्। कथाहरूमा उल्लेख गरिएका धेरैजसो
घटनाहरू बुद्धको जीवनशैलीको क्रममा भएको अधिकांश घटनाहरू भयो। केहि
कथाहरूमा, केहि विगतको अस्तित्वको बारेमा केहि तथ्यहरू पुनः प्राप्त गरियो।

cause of repeated births in Samsara. Having rid of Craving, for him no
more houses (khandhas) shall be built by Craving, and there will be no
more rebirths.
Verses (277), (278) and (279) are also important as they tell us
about the impermanent, unsatisfactory and the non-self nature of all
conditioned things; it is very important that one should perceive the
true nature of all conditioned things and become weary of the khandhas,
for this is the Path to Purity.
Then the Buddha shows us the Path leading to the liberation from
round of rebirths, i.e., the Path with eight constituents (Atthangiko
Maggo) in Verse (273). Further, the Buddha exhorts us to make our own
effort in Verse (276) saying, “You yourselves should make the effort,
the Tathagatas only show the way.” Verse (183) gives us the teaching of
the Buddhas. It says, “Do no evil, cultivate merit, purify one’s mind;
this is the teaching of the Buddhas.”
In verse (29) the Buddha has coupled his call for mindfulness with a
sense of urgency. ਤੁਕ ਦੌੜਦਾ ਹੈ: “ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤ ਤੌਰ ‘ਤੇ ਲਾਪਰਵਾਹੀ ਦੇ ਵਿਚਕਾਰ
ਚੇਤੰਨ, ਸੂਝਵਾਨ ਆਦਮੀ ਇਕ ਰੇਸ ਘੋੜੇ ਵਾਂਗ ਉੱਨਦਾ ਹੈ, ਜੇਡ ਨੂੰ ਪਿੱਛੇ ਛੱਡ ਗਿਆ.”
Verses (153) and (154) are expressions of sublime and intense joy
uttered by the Buddha at the very moment of his Enlightenment. ਇਹ ਦੋ
ਆਇਤਾਂ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਬੁੱਧ ਦੇ ਸੱਚਾਈ ਦੀ ਖੋਜ ਦੇ ਅੰਤ ਦੇ ਬਰਾਬਰ ਦਾ ਇੱਕ ਗ੍ਰਾਫਿਕ ਖਾਤਾ
ਦਿੰਦੀਆਂ ਹਨ.

دھمپاڈا: دنیا کی 119 کلاسیکی زبانوں میں آیات اور کہانیاں *********
صرف مفت تقسیم کے لئے ، دھما کے تحفے کے طور پر۔
دیباچہ
دھمپاڈا پٹاکا کی سب سے مشہور کتابوں میں سے ایک ہے۔ یہ بدھ کی
تعلیمات کا ایک مجموعہ ہے جو واضح ، تیز آیات میں ظاہر ہوتا ہے۔ ان آیات کو
بدھ کے ذریعہ اس کی تعلیم کے پینتالیس سال کے دوران دیئے گئے مختلف
مباحثوں سے روک دیا گیا تھا ، جب وہ گنگا کی وادی (گنگا) اور ہمالیہ کے
ذیلی پہاڑ کی نالی میں سفر کرتا تھا۔ یہ آیات اکثر سخت ، لطیف اور قائل
ہوتی ہیں۔ جب بھی مثل کا استعمال کیا جاتا ہے ، وہ وہ ہوتے ہیں جو آسانی سے
کسی بچے کے ذریعہ سمجھے جاتے ہیں ، جیسے ، کارٹ کا پہیہ ، آدمی کا سایہ ،
ایک گہرا تالاب ، پھول۔ ان آیات کے ذریعہ ، بدھ ایک کو یہ نصیب کرتا ہے کہ
وہ اس سب سے بڑے فتوحات کو حاصل کرے ، جو خود کی فتح ہے۔ جذبے ، نفرت اور
لاعلمی کی برائیوں سے بچنے کے لئے۔ اور پنر جنم کے دور سے ترس اور آزادی سے
آزادی حاصل کرنے کے لئے سخت جدوجہد کرنا۔ ہر آیت میں ایک سچائی (دھما) ،
ایک نصیحت ، مشورے کا ایک ٹکڑا ہوتا ہے۔
دھمپاڈا آیات
دنیا کے بہت سے ممالک میں بہت سے لوگوں کے ذریعہ دھماپڈا آیات کا اکثر
حوالہ دیا جاتا ہے اور اس کتاب کا بہت سی زبانوں میں ترجمہ کیا گیا ہے۔
انگریزی میں ابتدائی ترجمے میں سے ایک میکس مولر نے 1870 میں بنایا تھا۔ اس
کے بعد دوسرے ترجمے بھی ہیں جو ایف ایل کے ذریعہ ہیں۔ 1921 میں ووڈورڈ ،
1920 میں ویگسمارا اور سینڈرز کے ذریعہ ، اور 1902 میں اے ایل ایڈمنڈس
(عقیدے کی تسبیح) کے ذریعہ۔ حالیہ ترجموں میں سے ، کہ ناردا مہاتھیرا کے
ذریعہ سب سے زیادہ جانا جاتا ہے۔ ڈاکٹر والپولا راہولا نے بھی دھماپڈا کی
کچھ منتخب آیات کا ترجمہ کیا ہے اور ان کی کتاب “واٹ دی دی بدھ نے سکھایا”
کے آخر میں ان میں نظر ثانی شدہ ایڈیشن دیا ہے۔ چینیوں نے سنسکرت سے
دھماپڈا کا ترجمہ کیا۔ دھماپڈا کے چینی ورژن کا ترجمہ انگریزی میں سیموئیل
بیل (بدھسٹ کینن کے متن) نے 1878 میں کیا تھا۔
برما میں ، برمی میں ترجمے کیے گئے ہیں ، زیادہ تر نثر میں ، کچھ آیات
سے متعلق کہانیوں کی وضاحتیں ، وضاحتیں اور اس کی کھوج کے ساتھ۔ حالیہ
برسوں میں ، برمی اور انگریزی دونوں ترجموں کے ساتھ دھمپاڈا سے متعلق کچھ
کتابیں ، پالی آیات کے ساتھ ، بھی شائع کی گئیں۔
دھمپاڈا ستنتا پٹکا کی کھودکا نکایا کی دوسری کتاب ہے ، جس میں مختلف
سروں کے نیچے چھبیس بابوں میں چار سو تئیس آیات شامل ہیں۔ دھمپڈا میں بدھ
کی تعلیم کے بنیادی اصولوں کو شامل کیا گیا ہے۔
آیت (21) جو “اپاماڈو امتاپادم” سے شروع ہوتی ہے جس کا مطلب ہے “ذہنیت
نبانا کا راستہ ہے ، ڈیتھیس لیس ،” ایک بہت اہم اور اہم آیت ہے۔ سکون اور
بصیرت مراقبہ کا سب سے اہم عنصر ذہن سازی ہے۔ اس کے انتقال سے ٹھیک پہلے
بدھ کی آخری نصیحت کو بھی ذہن نشین کرنا تھا اور تندہی سے کوشش کرنا تھا
(میگگا اور فالہ کے ذریعے پنر جنم کے دور سے آزادی کے حصول کے کام کو مکمل
کرنا)۔ عام طور پر یہ قبول کیا جاتا ہے کہ ذہن سازی پر اس آیت کی وجہ سے یہ
تھا کہ ہندوستان کے شہنشاہ اشوکا اور برما کے بادشاہ اناورہتا بدھ مذہب
میں بدل گئے۔ دونوں بادشاہوں نے اپنے اپنے ممالک میں بدھ مت کے پھیلاؤ میں
بہت مدد کی تھی۔
آیت (29) میں بدھ نے فوری طور پر احساس کے ساتھ ذہنیت کی اپنی کال کو
جوڑا ہے۔ آیت چلتی ہے: “غفلت برتنے والے ، انتہائی چوکس ، غنودگی کے درمیان
، عقلمند آدمی ریس کے گھوڑے کی طرح ترقی کرتا ہے ، جس سے جیڈ کو پیچھے
چھوڑ دیا جاتا ہے۔”
آیات (1) اور (2) کاما کے غیر منقولہ قانون کی وضاحت کرتی ہیں ، جس کے
تحت ہر کام ، اچھا یا برا ، واپس کرنے والے کے پاس آتا ہے۔ یہاں ، بدھ
ہمارے تمام اعمال میں دماغ کی اہمیت پر زور دیتا ہے اور ہمارے اعمال ،
الفاظ اور خیالات کے ناگزیر نتائج کی بات کرتا ہے۔
آیات (153) اور (154) اس کی روشن خیالی کے بالکل ہی لمحے بدھ کے ذریعہ
بولی اور شدید خوشی کے اظہار ہیں۔ These two verses give us a graphic
account of the culmination of the Buddha’s search for Truth.
They
tell us about the Buddha finding the ‘house-builder,’ Craving, the
cause of repeated births in Samsara. Having rid of Craving, for him no
more houses (khandhas) shall be built by Craving, and there will be no
more rebirths.
Verses (277), (278) and (279) are also important as they tell us
about the impermanent, unsatisfactory and the non-self nature of all
conditioned things; it is very important that one should perceive the
true nature of all conditioned things and become weary of the khandhas,
for this is the Path to Purity.
Then the Buddha shows us the Path leading to the liberation from
round of rebirths, i.e., the Path with eight constituents (Atthangiko
Maggo) in Verse (273). Further, the Buddha exhorts us to make our own
effort in Verse (276) saying, “You yourselves should make the effort,
the Tathagatas only show the way.” Verse (183) gives us the teaching of
the Buddhas. It says, “Do no evil, cultivate merit, purify one’s mind;
this is the teaching of the Buddhas.”
آیت
(24) میں بدھ ہمیں زندگی میں کامیابی کا راستہ دکھاتا ہے ، اس طرح: “اگر
کوئی شخص توانائی بخش ، ذہن سازی ، سوچ ، لفظ اور عمل میں خالص ہے ، اگر وہ
دیکھ بھال اور غور و فکر کے ساتھ ہر کام کرتا ہے تو ، اس کے حواس کو روکتا
ہے۔ دھما کے مطابق رہنا اور ناقابل تلافی نہیں ہے ، پھر ، اس ذہن ساز شخص
کی شہرت اور خوش قسمتی میں اضافہ ہوتا ہے۔ “
یہ جواہرات کی کچھ مثالیں ہیں جو دھمپڈا میں پائی جاتی ہیں۔ دھمپاڈا ، واقعی ، ایک فلسفی ، رہنما اور سب کے لئے دوست ہے۔
آیات کا یہ ترجمہ پالی سے انگریزی میں ہے۔ استعمال شدہ پالی متن
دھمپڈا پالی ہے جس کو چھٹے بین الاقوامی بدھ مت کے ذریعہ منظور کیا گیا ہے۔
ہم نے ترجمہ کو ہر ممکن حد تک متن کے قریب بنانے کی کوشش کی ہے ، لیکن بعض
اوقات یہ بہت مشکل ہوتا ہے ، اگر ناممکن نہیں تو ، انگریزی کا لفظ تلاش
کرنا جو بالکل پالی لفظ کے مطابق ہو۔ مثال کے طور پر ، ہمیں ابھی تک ایک
بھی انگریزی لفظ نہیں مل سکا ہے جو چار عظیم سچائیوں کی نمائش میں استعمال
ہونے والے لفظ “دکھا” کے اصل معنی بیان کرسکتا ہے۔ اس ترجمے میں ، جہاں بھی
“دکھا” کی اصطلاح وہی معنی رکھتی ہے جیسا کہ یہ چار عظیم سچائیوں میں ہوتا
ہے ، اسے غیر ترجمانی چھوڑ دیا جاتا ہے۔ لیکن صرف وضاحت کی۔
جب آیات کے دھما کے تصور کی ترجمانی میں کوئی شبہ ہے یا جب لفظی معنی
مبہم یا ناقابل فہم ہے تو ، ہم نے تبصرے (پالی میں) اور نیانگلیبن سیاڈا کے
ذریعہ برمی ترجمہ کا حوالہ دیا ہے ، ایک بہت ہی سیکھا ہے۔ تھیرا بہت سے
مواقع پر ہم نے دھما (دھماکاریاس) کے اساتذہ سے بھی پریشان کن الفاظ اور
جملوں کی وضاحت کے لئے مشورہ کیا ہے۔
اس کے علاوہ ہم نے دھماپادا کے برمی ترجمے سے بھی مشورہ کیا ہے ، خاص
طور پر یونین بدھ ساسانا کونسل کے ترجمہ ، سنگجا سیاڈا (1805-1876) کا
ترجمہ ، کنگ مائنڈن اور کنگ تھیبا کے زمانے میں ایک معروف مہا تھیرا ، اور
بھی۔ برما پٹاکا ایسوسی ایشن کے اوواڈاکاریہ مہا تھیرہ ، سیاڈا یو تھٹیلا
کا ترجمہ۔ سنگجا سیاڈا کی کتاب میں دھماپڈا کی کہانیوں کے پیرا فریس اور اس
کی کھوج بھی شامل ہے۔
دھمپاڈا کہانیاں
دھماپڈا کہانیوں کے خلاصے کتاب کے دوسرے حصے میں دیئے گئے ہیں کیونکہ
عام طور پر یہ خیال کیا جاتا ہے کہ بدھھاگوسہ (پانچویں صدی عیسوی) کے لکھے
ہوئے دھمپاڈا کمنٹری دھمپڈا کی بہتر تفہیم کی طرف ایک بہت بڑی مدد ہے۔
تفسیر میں تین سو پانچ کہانیاں شامل ہیں۔ کہانیوں میں مذکور زیادہ تر
واقعات بدھ کے تاحیات وقت کے دوران پیش آئے۔ کچھ کہانیوں میں ، کچھ ماضی کے
وجود کے بارے میں کچھ حقائق بھی واپس ہوئے تھے۔
کہانیوں کے خلاصے لکھنے میں ہم نے اس تبصرے کا ترجمہ کرنے کی کوشش
نہیں کی ہے۔ ہم نے صرف کہانیوں کے حقائق کو ختم کردیا ہے اور انہیں مختصر
طور پر دوبارہ لکھا ہے: ہر کہانی کے آخر میں آیات کا ترجمہ دیا جاتا ہے۔
ابھی میرے لئے ابھی باقی ہے کہ وہ اسکرپٹ میں احتیاط سے گزرنے پر ،
ایڈیٹوریل کمیٹی ، برما پٹکا ایسوسی ایشن کے ممبروں سے گہری اور مخلصانہ
شکرگزار کا اظہار کریں۔ آیات کے ترجمے میں مدد کرنے کے لئے ، سگی دھماکاریہ
یو آنگ مو اور آپ کے لئے ، برما پٹاکا ایسوسی ایشن کے ایڈیٹر ، ایڈیٹر کو۔

2552nd SACRED BUDDHA JAYANTI CELEBRATIONS 2008
VESAK
Dear Sir,
Heartfelt greeting on Buddha jayanti.I’m very thankful to you all for showing your concern for the liberation of Mahabodhi Temple, Buddhagaya. I will be going to Bihar in second week of June,2008 for initiating legal action. I have made legal research on the issue of Buddhgaya. Apparantly the Bodhgaya Act of 1949 which provides for provision for constitution of Temple Management Committee with Invaders and thier slaves majority is unconstitutional on ground several provisions and principles (14, 25,26, secularism etc)of Indian Constitution and International Bill of Human Rights.
Its shocking to learn that how state government had courage to enact such illegal and unconstitutional Act. I feel that becouse of Invaders and thier slaves majority in legislatve body has committed mischief on the pretext of better management of affairs of temple.
It is a grave fraud on the Constitution of India and state and society have committed crime of collective conspiracy.
I belong to Buddhagaya itself but since born in untouchable
(Original Inhabitant of Jambudvipa that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath) family, was unaware of my real identity. When I started reading the works of Babasheb Ambedkar and Buddha, I realized that we are defacto Buddhist and then committed to Buddhism and humanity. I’ll fight till last blood of body to liberate Buddhagaya and Buddhism from the domination of Invaders and thier slaves.
I’m looking forward for your active participation and cooperation.
You may publish this letter in your esteem news magzine.

An “Appeal”
To The People of Karnataka for
Legislative Assembly Election – 2008
Kumari Mayawati
National President
Bahujan Samaj Party
Brothers and Sisters,
It is well known to every one the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) is the only party in the country, which “believes in doing rather than saying“.
It is for this reason that our party, unlike other parties, does not release any tempting “Election Manifestoes” and instead, issues “Appeal” to the people in general and voters in particular to ensure their vote and support for BSP in order to fulfill the remaining commitments for completing its missionary goal by adopting the path shown by Saints, Gurus and Mahapurush (Great men) born in different periods in the Bahujan Samaj like Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, Chatrapati Sahu Maharaj, Narayana Guru, Periyar Ramaswamy Ji, Baba Saheb Dr.Ambedkar and more recently Manyawar Shri Kanshi Ram ji.
This we do with an aim to earn good results for the party in the elections and to achieve power to rule so that with the help of the “Master Key of Political Power” we become master of our own destiny and could ensure work and proper welfare of the poor, deprived and downtrodden sections of the society belonging to all castes and religions i.e.”Sarv Samaj”. Param pujya Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar has beautifully and wonderfully explained about the significance of the “Master Key of the Political Power”, declaring that the political power is such a “Master Key” through which all problems can be solved and also doors of progress and prosperity can be opened up.
Following this principle of Babasaheb Dr.Ambedkar, our party is contesting, on its’ own strength, KARNATAKA Legislative Assembly General Elections-2008. The Karnataka Legislative Assembly has a total number of 224 seats and the BSP is contesting on almost all the seats on its own. BSP has not at all entered into any kind of alliance or seat adjustments with any other party in this election. So, we are fighting this election on all seats on our own.
But, the pertinent question which arises here is, as to why there is a necessity for the people of the State of Karnataka to cast their votes in favour of the BSP only, rather than voting for the Congress, B.J.P. or their supporting parties? We have to understand this issue very clearly for an outstanding performance. .
In this regard, I am of the view that BSP is the only Party in the country whose “Principles & Policies” and also its “style of functioning” suits very much the interests of the people belonging to “Sarv Samaj” (all sections of the society). On the other hand, other political parties make too many promises to people just before the elections or in the election year but they never translate them into reality for the true welfare of them, leaving most of their lofty electoral promises confined to papers only, rather than getting them implemented in practical terms.
It is for this very reason that, even after 60 years of independence, the “Social and Economic” condition of people belonging to Bahujan Samaj, which comprises of Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), Other Backward Class (OBCs) and Religious Minorities such as Sikhs, Muslims, Christians, Parsis and Buddhists have not significantly improved due to faulty economic policies adopted by various governments of castiest leaders of different political parties, even though the population of these sections of society is very large and for this reason , we call them as “Bahujan Samaj”.
Here, I am especially talking about their wrong and erratic economic policies, mainly because at the centre as well as in most of the States, Governments’ were formed with the monetary or otherwise help of big capitalist powers and for this very reason, these parties, after coming to power, as a “return gift” to them formulated their “Economic Policies” in subservience of these capitalists, fully ignoring the interests and welfare of general public.
Due to this kind of unjust behaviour of the governments of Congress, BJP and their supporting parties, the economic condition of people belonging to Bahujan Samaj as well as poor people of “Savarn Samaj” i.e. the upper castes is turning from bad to worse. The malice is still continuing, rendering more and more such people unemployed and live a life under the darkness of poverty.
In view of the complexity and seriousness of such kind of problems, these deprived and exploited sections of the people revolted in such a manner to form a separate political party of their own called as (the Bahujan Samaj Party-BSP) under the leadership of Manyawar Shri Kanshi Ram Ji on April, 1984, basing its ideology on policy and progrmmes of Great Baba sahib Dr. Ambedkar. And quiet obviously, with the massive support and cooperation of all the sections of the society, the BSP has acquired a “National Status” and has grown enough to be officially by the Election Commission of India as one of the main national political parties of India .
Not only this, our party also gradually expanded its mass base and graduated to send its representatives in Parliament, apart from winning assembly elections in various States of the Country. In Uttar Pradesh, which is the biggest State of India in terms of the size of the population, the BSP under the leader ship of mine had formed government four times. And all the four times, the governments of our party has worked with full devotion and dedication to provide “justice” to all, besides giving impetus and dynamism to the issue of ”Development” in the State.
Giving priority to weaker sections of the society in the process, with an aim to improve “Social and Economic” condition of the underprivileged sections of the society and poor people belonging to Sarv Samaj, our party Government in Uttar Pradesh, for the first time in the country, constituted separate “Welfare” Departments” in 1995 right at the inception of the first BSP government.
And the aspect of development were given new meaning when 25,000 villages, having predominantly Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa i.e. the Great Prabuddha Bharath (SC/STs) population, were selected for “Dr.Ambedkar Village Development Scheme” to develop them fully with all kind of basic amenities and infrastructure facilities. The process is going on and gradually all the villages of the State will be taken for such kind of developmental activities all over the State, surely changing the very face and of course the life of the rural poor in real terms. Presently, however, the name of this scheme has been changed as “Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar U.P. Gramsabha Samagra Vikas Yojana (Gramsabha Integrated Development Scheme.)”.
Similarly, an ambitious “Urban Integrated Development Scheme” has been formulated in the name of “Manyawar Shri Kanshi Ram Ji”. Under this scheme, small towns and cities of Uttar Pradesh are being developed in a systematic manner and within time bound period. But under both these schemes, all the activities are being speeded up as much as the economic condition of the State allows. These developmental activities could well get further momentum and much speed if the Central Government fulfills its obligations of providing funds for the purpose.
Apart of this, priority has been accorded especially to Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa i.e. The Great Prabuddha Bharath (SC/STs) and other exploited sections of the “Sarv Samaj” in all other developmental activities. The homeless and poor people were allotted vacant land, besides possession has also been ensured to landless poor for the purpose of farming/agriculture on that land. About 20 lakh poor people have so far been benefited from this decision of the government in the State, and this work is still continuously in progress.
In addition, my government has taken an unprecedented and historic decision to provide with more than one lakh permanent government jobs in rural areas for the Valmiki community of Scheduled Castes. By this decision, all the 1.08 lakh revenue village of Uttar Pradesh will have at least one Sarkari Safai Karmachari, and the person appointed will be from the same village in most of the cases… This besides meeting employment problem will also make a sea change in the health atmosphere of rural areas for it will ensure cleanliness and help eradicate diseases spreading due to unhygienic conditions.
And, so far the issue of giving boost to education is concerned, the government of our party, for the first time in the country, took a policy decision to grant scholarship to the children of persons belonging to poor Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and also to poor children of Other Backward Classes and Religious Minorities, especially to the poor children belonging to Muslim community.
The scholarship amount has also been doubled in view of the rising inflation and cost of living; besides that the amount of scholarship is being distributed to students immediately after their admission. Our government also arranged free coaching to ensure their admissions in the prestigious institutions and for high-grade prestigious jobs like IAS, IPS. PCS etc.
Along with the above facilities, for the first time in the State, 25% of the State budget has been allocated separately for the welfare and development of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in the State.
Besides, in order to infuse the sense of security among the people belonging to Bahujan Samaj, a policy of reservation has been introduced for the first time in the postings at the police stations in each and every district. Under the new provision, police officers belonging to SC/STs, for the first time in the country, will be getting 25 percent of such posts of police station will go to the people belonging to OBCs and 5 percent to officers from Religious Minorities (Muslims) in all the districts of the State. This system of governance is still continuing in the State with a slight modification.
And especially, full care has been made towards protecting, in all spheres of life, the interests and welfare of the Muslims, which is the largest section of Religious Minorities in the State. Apart from their economic development, the safety and security of their lives and Religion has also been fully ensured. In addition, our government was first in the country ensuring government jobs to economically weaker Muslims by including them in category of other Backward Classes (OBCs) and issuing government order facilitating release of caste certificates accordingly.

You know very well that “where there is will, there is way.” That is why for the first time in the country, the BSP government of Uttar Pradesh has taken “ New Positive Reservation Initiatives”
In The Interest of Sarv Samaj
i.e. Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes (OBC), Religious Minorities and Upper caste, for it is more thanevident that the benefit of reservation, which was provided on account of the untiring efforts of Param Pujya Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimarao Ambedkar, to the Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs) and Other Backward Castes (OBCs) in the Government jobs under the Constitution of India, was not reaching fully to the dire needy people because of anti-reservation attitude of the Congress, BJP and their supporting parties.
Not only this, various Government Departments and Institutions are being handed over to the Private Sectors for the past several years on the pretext of poor economiccondition of the government, without ensuring provision of the same kind of reservation in the privatised firm/sector at any level. And, if this current state of affairs/practice of handing over the government departments and Institutions to Private Sector continues, a day will come when the constitutional facility of reservation will cease to exist.
Taking this issue of great importance very seriously, the Government of my party in Uttar Pradesh wrote several letters to the Government of India and requested that before the privatization of various Government and public sector institutions, the same quantum of reservation for those sections of society should be ensured as they were already getting in the Government sector and institutions. But no Government of any party has so far acceded to our contention and our party is “seriously concerned” and “worried” about this issue.
But the people belonging to Scheduled Castes (SCs) & Schedule Tribes (STs) and Other Backward Classes (OBCs) will be happy to know that throughout the country, it is only the Government of my party, the BSP in Uttar Pradesh which was fulfilled these tasks, which are as follows:
· Public-Private- Partnership (P.P.P.) is the main component of “all inclusive” realistic and practical economic policy of my government in Uttar Pradesh.
· All the Schemes/projects/ industries with partnership with state government, the State Government would have a maximum partnership of 49 percent of 11 percent.
· The provision of job reservation in enterprises developed on Public-Private Partnership model will continue in the proportion and manner as the State Government has been providing quota which is in the government jobs 21 percent for Scheduled Castes, 02 percent for Scheduled Tribes and 27 percent for Other Backward Classes.
· The interests of employees will be fully safeguarded in the projects/enterprise s established under PPP model.
· Now along with this, the Uttar Pradesh Government of my party has applied the policy of “Sarvjan Hitai –Sarvjan Sukhai” (Progress and Prosperity for all) also in the area of the reservation. In pursuance of this policy, our government has taken historical initiative to provide the benefits of reservation to all the poor and needy people belonging to all castes and the implementation of this new system has already been taken up in the right earnest in Uttar Pradesh. This step has been taken for the first time in the country.
· Under it, if the services rendered by the Govt. Departments, Corporations, Authorities, Councils and other Semi-government institutions or the maintenance of their establishment are substituted by outsourcing, then the contract to be executed for the said purpose would include the provision of providing 21 percent of jobs created through this out sourcing to the persons of Scheduled Castes, 2 percent to the persons belonging to Scheduled Tribes and 27 percent to Other Backward Classes.
· In the Industrial Units, Educational Institutions, Infrastructure/ Service Sector Projects, Disinvested Units are being set up in which the private sector is provided land, subsidy, state aid or assets by the Government or any of its government departments, then as per the “voluntary” and “mutual agreement”, the employers have to provide 10 percent of the total jobs created in the projects to the persons of Scheduled Castes, 10 percent to Other Backward Classes, including Backwards of Religious Minorities and 10 percent to the economically weaker persons of the Upper Castes
· Over 30 thousand posts of backlog have so far been filled by my part’s government in Uttar Pradesh. Recruitment on remaining posts is in progress.
· Besides, it is to be clear in mind that the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (prevention of atrocities) Act, 1989, has been enacted by the Government of India, hence a central act, and no State Government can make any alternation in this Act nor repeal it. The State Government of Uttar Pradesh has ensured strict enforcement of this law.
· My Government has done everything possible regarding implementation of reservation policy.
· The Government of India has also been asked to fill the vacant posts in Government Services in accordance with the policy of reservation. The policy of reservation should be extended to private and other sectors and it should be included in the ninth Schedule of Constitution as a safeguard.
· We have also urged the Government of India to amend the Constitution for providing benefits of reservation to the people belonging to upper castes living below the poverty line. But, the attitude of the Congress and BJP and its supporting parties has been throughout negative.
· But for that matter, I would like to fully assure the people of upper castes that the day the government of our party come to power at the centre, they will be given the benefit of reservation, similar to the pattern which has been introduced by us in Uttar Pradesh and this will be done without their asking for it, and will also make all positive efforts for the eradication of their poverty and un-employment. And, you all know very well about the style of functioning of my party that whatever we say, we do the same. In other words, there is no difference in our party’s saying and doing.
· Besides, Adequate additional reservation should also be provided to such persons of Scheduled Castes who were converted to Muslim or Christian religion, but maintaining the present share of quota of prescribed reservation for the Scheduled Castes. For this, necessary amendment should be made in the Constitution to relax the total limit of 50 percent reservation as laid down by Hon. Supreme Court and this amendment will be included in the 9th schedule of the Constitution so that this arrangement becomes a permanent feature.
So far as the matter of providing Social Security to the people is concerned, my party’s government in Uttar Pradesh is very serious and sensitive over the issue… That is why immediately after assumption of power my government increased to double the amount of pension to old age persons and farmers from Rs.150 to Rs.300. And also the number of beneficiaries was raised to 24 lakh from 20 lakh, for which sum of Rs. 1410 crores has been earmarked in the budget.
Similarly, labourers , who belong to the poorest and weaker section of the society and mostly fall under the categoryof farming labour, were not being cared properly as they belong to unorganized sector, but my government has raised their daily remuneration wage to Rs.100 from a meager of Rs.58, which they were getting previously.
And, over the issue of plight of farmers and farming becoming less remunerative day by day and thereby ultimately affecting our self-reliance on food, my party is in full sympathy with the farming community. It is beyond any doubt that the governments of the Congress, the BJP and their supporting parties during their rule in the past 60 years have done a criminal act of ignoring farm and farmers. In the course of promotion of heavy industries, there was a criminal neglect of farm sectors and farmers’ requirements.
This is also a tragedy that in the course of developing heavy industries particularly in the tribal areas, where the native people were deprived even from the fourth class jobs, adding more burden on their life to ensure protection of the interests of tribals & farmers.
Besides, my government has taken a stand that the Self-esteem and Self-respect of the unemployed youth will not be ridiculed every month by providing them meager ‘unemployment allowance’. Instead, our party wants them to live with pride, as they would instead be provided permanent jobs, with the creation of job opportunities, for which Regional Rural Employment Centre will be established.
And education is another area that has been accorded top most priority by my government in Uttar Pradesh. It is with this reason a decision was taken without any delay to recruit 88,000 teachers to help improve the standards of education. The process of recruitment of such a large number teachers in just one go is on.
In addition of all these, my government has paid attention in according full respect and honour to Sants, Gurus and Mahapurush born in Bahujan Samaj at different period of times such as Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, Chatrapati Shahuji Maharaj, Narayana Guru, Periar Ramaswamy, Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar and more recently Manyawar Shri Kanshi Ram Ji. A number of new Districts, Universities, Memorials, Museums and other important public places and institutions have been named and erected in their name to perpetuate the memory of their hard-faught struggles.
And in this connection, you all know very well that no government, be it the government of the Congress, the BJP or their supporting parties, ever gave proper respect and regards to the Sants, Gurus and Mahapurush born in the Bahujan Samaj.
And regrettably, the castiest mentality of these political parties still persists. . The biggest proof of it is that the Congress party, ruling at the centre did not even declare one or two days holiday nor they ordered flying of national flag half mast in the mourning of Manyawar Shri Kanshi Ram Ji, the creator and founder of the BSP movement.. And the BJP and other opposition parties remained a mute spectator to all this.
In brief, the lesson to our people of all this happenings is that if the people belonging to Bahujan Samaj and those of Savarn Samaj (upper castes) living in your state of Karnataka want to create an atmosphere like that of Uttar Pradesh for leading a life full of self-esteem, respect and dignity, they will also have to capture the “Master Key of political power” in their hands by ensuring good results in the general election being held in your State.
Therefore keeping all these factual propositions in mind, I earnestly “APPEAL” to the supporters of the BSP to follow the above mentioned suggestions in order to make an all out effort to achieve party’s goal of capturing power in order to get rid of their poverty, helplessness, backwardness, unemployment, injustice and exploitation by making your own government in your State, following the true path shown to you by your messiah Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar on the basis of exercise of franchise based on the concept of “One Man-One Vote” given to you by Baba Saheb himself and thus fulfill the unfinished task of Manyawar Shri. Kanshi Ram Ji.
In other words, you should understand your Messiah’s message properly and utilize the right to vote wisely to help yourself so that you could form a government of your own party in your State which will in real terms help improve your socio-economic condition as well as of education, besides ensuring a civilized self-esteem life to you. In the meantime, this could be also help improve the economic condition of the Upper castes people.
But to create such an atmosphere in your State, you have to acquire the “Master Key of Political Power” in your hands, like people have done in the Stae of Uttar Pradesh and you will have show good result in the coming Assembly elections in your State. And to achieve this great goal of success in the assembly election, you will have to be cautious and alert from various nasty tricks and Saam-Daam-Dand- bhed like nefarious designs of the opposition parties during the elections, because these parties can go to any extent to damage our party.
And I want to warn you that these opposition parties will go all out and will make allefforts to sabotage the voting of Savarn Samaj inn favour of BSP and for this purpose , these parties will propagate our “Ideology and Principles” in a wrong, vicious and twisted manner among these sections of society.
Therefore, I consider it important to explain the ideology and principles of B.S.P. I would also like to clarify here that the ideology and principles of our party “are not against any caste or creed”. B.S.P. wants to change the unequal social order of this country based on “caste” and wants to establish here a “Samatamulak Samaj Vyavastha” ( A Social Order based on Equality), which is in the interest of this country and Sarv Samaj.
For this, we have to change the Jaatwadi (casteist)mentality of Savarn (High Castes) Hindus and on the basis of Samajik Bhaichara (Social Brotherhood) we have to take them also along with us and only then “Samtamulak Samaj Vyavastha” can be established in this country in accordance with the thinking of the architect of Indian Constitution, Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar and only after that Sarv Samaj will be unified and disparities or casteism in the society will be completely eradicated forever.
Along with this, they will get full opportunity to move in every walk of life. The members of our party should always remain cautious from different kind of rumours, which may be spread by opposition parties during elections.
Apart from the above, I also appeal to all of you – “Beware that your vote is invaluable. No vote should be allowed to be purchased. No vote should be allowed to be looted. No vote should be left out from being cast and no selfish person should misuse your vote on account of defrauding or misleading you in the name of caste, money, religion or emotions.
Hence, to save democracy you have to give power into hands of right person to safeguard the interests of your KARNATAKA State, so that you may formulate the policy of :Sarvajan Hitai – Sarvjan Sukhai” in all the areas and make the poor and unemployed persons of Bahujan Samaj and Savarn Samajhappy.”
In the end, keeping in view all the above mentioned observations, I “Appeal” to the supporters and well wishers of my party that you should not be misled by any alluring promises of Election Manifestoes of opposition parties and that you should follow the appeal of B.S.P. which is your own party, to make the candidates of B.S.P. victorious in the General Assembly Elections of KARNATAKA by pressing the button against “Elephant” (Haathi), the election symbol of B.S.P. I hope and expect that you will accept my “Appeal” and act accordingly.

They later frame policies suiting their needs but not favouring the poor after their selections !
Thereby not the earning of the workers !
But the prices rises !
Hence !
BSP wins !
For allotting three acres of land to each poor and landless !
Benefiting over 25 lakh families !
Filled all the backlog posts reserved for SC/STs and backward classes !
Constituted separate welfare departments for all backward communties !
for their social and economic advancement,to ensure that they receive all the government benefits !
Deprived of a right and De-Franchised

left out: Voters whose names were missing from the voters’ list, which prevented them from exercising their franchise, showing their identity cards during the repoll
at one of the booths in Bangalore on Monday.
The Election Commission is responsible for De-franchising large number people who were deprived of their right to vote as their names were missing from voter’s list.
Many of them those who had their photo identity cards also did not find their names in the voter’s list.
There was haste in conducting elections by the Election Commission without ensuring that all the eligible people in Karnataka were included in the voters list.
However Election Commission has to postpone the date for formation of the New Government and not on 28 th May 2008 as required by the Constitution.
With thousands of people not finding their names in the voters list, People must have the Right To Information on the exact percentage of names missing in the voter’s list.
Those who tried to include their names before 29-04-2008 had their acnowledgements. Yet their names were not found in the voters list.
Thousands of people stood in scroching sun to get photo identity cards before the elections. But they could not get because of lack of proper infrastructure such as enough numbers of computers and staff who could either include peoples name in the voters list or provide them photo identity cards.
People must also have the Right To Information on the type of chip used in the Electronic Voting Machine with the source code for transparency.
In Reserved Constituencies, the Major Opposition Parties have encouraged False Caste Certificate holders as candidates.
When objected during scrutiny they were not rejected but accepted since the Tahsildars had issued them certificates and EC said that they were helpless and only the Courts can help them.
The Election Commission must have a mechanism to ensure that genuine SC/STs only contested elections in Reserved Constituencies.
Since the Chief Election Commissioner N Gopalaswamy on Thursday fixed the responsibility for preparation of error-free voters list, ahead of the election to Karnataka Assembly, on political parties, it is high time that the present Election Commission be scraped and an Election Committee representing all the Political Parties like various Parliamentary Committees be formed forthwith. And work out to see tha all the eligible people of India are included in the voter’s list. This must be made mandatory.
And no elections has to be conducted until all the peoples’ names are included in the voter’s list.
Till then the present election has to be scraped
for a Real Free and fair Election.
Election Commission India
Elections India : Article 324 of the constitution establishes an independent Election Commission to supervise parliamentary and state elections in India. Supervising elections in the world’s largest democracy is by any standard an immense undertaking. Some 521 million people were eligible to vote in 1991.
Now the people of India must have the Right To Information from the Election Commission know as to how many million people were elegible to vote in 2009 and 2008 Karnataka Assembly elections. There is no official information on the exact number of people whose names are not found in the voter’s list.
We the people - these are the most important words in our constitution. Everything depends on us- the voters,who have an opportunity and the right to choose our representatives, demand accountability and determine the direction of growth and governance of the country. Several problems have surfaced in the gigantic task of conducting elections in India and to ensure that elections are free and fair. With each passing election, the educated citizens of our country seem to have grown ignorant and apathetic about the electoral process and elections. The result has been a steady deterioration in the standards and practices of political parties reflected in rampant corruption and the reckless use of money and muscle power to win elections.
Active participation of citizens is an absolute prerequisite to make the electoral system more representative, fair, transparent and free from all the other ills. Eleanor Roosevelt once said: “nobody can hurt you without your consent” which in this context can be rephrased as “nobody can marginalise you without your cooperation
Chief Election Commissioner N Gopalaswamy on Thursday fixed the responsibility for preparation of error-free voters list, ahead of the election to Karnataka Assembly, on political parties. Speaking to reporters here, Mr Gopalaswamy said the political parties would be given two separate lists on February seven for deletion and additions to be made in the final list.
‘’They will be given two weeks time for raising objections to removing and adding names of the voters for the final list to be prepared on March ten,'’ he said.
‘’It will be the responsibility of the political parties to ensure the final list did not contain discrepancies any more as the EC has adopted a new mechanism for producing error-free list,'’ he said.
To a question on whether the elections would be postponed in case of a delay in the implementation of the report of Mr Justice Kuldeep Singh who headed Delimitation Commission, he said the EC did not work on the basis of ‘ifs and buts’ and as of now, it would conduct the elections before May 28.
‘’The Commission is concerned about the voter’s list as there are only additions and no deletions in the list.
‘’This is the reason I sent Deputy Election Commissioner R Bhattacharya, who is in charge for Karnataka, to oversee the whole exercise,'’ Mr Gopalaswamy said.
The EC would hold elections before May 28, as the state completes six months under President’s Rule on the date, he said.
In the draft list submitted by the State Election Commission (SEC) names of 3.48 lakh voters had been deleted while 9.27 lakh new voters had been added as of yesterday.
Mr Gopalaswamy and his Deputies Navin Chawla and S Y Qureshi have been here for the last two days reviewing the voters list and preparedness of the official machinery to hold elections, following the detection of large number of bogus voters in the voter’s list.
Earlier, Congress and the BJP submitted memorandum to the CEC urging him to provide error-free voters list and elections be held in the stipulated time.
He replied in the affirmative when asked whether he would take action against the officials for their ‘lapses’ in preparation of the voter’s list.
Voters list mess in poll-bound Karnataka
Bangalore, Jan 5 - A family with 90 voters and a town with 30,000 voters in a population of 36,500! These are just some of the glitches in the voters list in poll-bound Karnataka. R. Bhattacharya, deputy election commissioner at the Election Commission of India has been in Bangalore for the last three days having talks with state election officials on steps to ensure proper voters list ahead of polls to the 224-member assembly expected in April/May.
The irregularities in the voters list pointed out by people and political parties has forced the state election commission to cancel its plans to release the final list on Jan 10.
Bhattacharya met state chief electoral officer R. Ramaseshan, Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagar Palike (Greater Bangalore City Corporation) commissioner S. Subramanya and senior officials from several districts and told them of the Election Commission’s displeasure over the way the voters lists had been prepared.
The state officials now plan to revise the lists and publish them by the end of this month. They have sought the help of voters to point out anomalies.
Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president Mallikharjun Kharge Friday mentioned the instance of one family in north Karnataka having 90 voters on the list and of Humnabad town in Bidar district that has 30,000 voters in a population of 36,500.
More than 7,000 in the town are school-going children, yet there are 30,000 names in the voters list.
Another Congress leader H.K. Patil said there could be around four million bogus names in the voters list. Karnataka’s population is estimated at 55 million and voting population at around 42 million.
The two other main political parties, the Bharatiya Janata Party and Janata Dal-Secular also allege there are many irregularities in the list. The three parties have urged the state and central election officials to rectify the anomalies

Major decision: Mayor Ayub Khan announcing the involvement of booth committees in the revision of the voters’ list. Deputy Mayor Kamala Venkatesh is seen.
MYSORE: The Mysore City Corporation (MCC) will revise the voters’ list in the three Assembly constituencies within its jurisdiction by launching a door-to-door campaign along with members of the booth committees.
There are 607 booth committees in the city covering all the 65 wards. The initiative is expected to be more precise; it will involve people at the grassroots level unlike in the the top-down approach followed so far.
Apart from updating the voters’ list, the exercise will help rectify the anomalises and help add to the list the names of those who were left out while deleting the names of bogus voters. The initiative will complement the steps taken by the district administration before the elections.
Disclosing this, Mayor Ayub Khan said here on Saturday that during his visits to polling booths in his capacity as the first citizen of Mysore, he had received several complaints from registered voters.
“Either their names were missing or the details were faulty. Hence I have decided to accord priority to ensure that the citizens are not deprived of the right to exercise their franchise,” he said.
“I consider it my duty to ensure that the names of all eligible voters are incorporated in the revised voters’ list and hence have decided to take the step with the assistance of booth committee members”, Mr. Khan said.
It has been decided to undertake a survey according to which, the head of each booth committee, along with officials of the MCC and other members, will cover the area coming under their respective booths and ensure that the discrepancies are removed.
“The entire responsibility of revising and updating the voters’ list will be vested with the new team”, according to the Mayor. It has also been decided to conduct a one-day workshop-cum-training programme for all booth committee members so that they can familiarise themselves with the process of revising the list. “Details will be collected from every household on individuals who have been transferred, women who have left the locality after marriage and those who have expired so as to ensure that their names are deleted from the list”, Mr. Khan said.
Once the workshop-cum-training programme is completed, the voters’ list revision exercise will be taken up as a pilot project at one booth each in the three Assembly constituencies coming under the MCC limits.
The team involved in this exercise will record its findings and experience, collate the pros and cons of such an approach and table a report which will be subjected to scrutiny.
“We will thoroughly analyse the report and streamline the exercise before extending it to cover all the booths coming under the 65 wards of the MCC”, Mr. Khan said.
Cooperation sought
He called for public cooperation, and sought the assistance of non-governmental organisations so as to ensure that in the subsequent elections genuine voters will not be deprived of their right to exercise their franchise.
There are 607 booths in the three Assembly segments in Mysore Urban which has a population of nearly 7.55 lakh according to the 2001 census.
The Election Commission recently called for revision of the voters’ list in Mysore on learning that the number of voters in the city was more than 65 per cent of the total population.
Though the revision exercise was conducted over an extended period of time, there were some discrepancies which the Mayor wants to rectify by launching an exercise involving the booth committees.
Reforms could ensure more voter turnout
Research could throw up answers for poor poll percentage
Poll percentage could improve if the Government makes a ‘determined attempt’ to bring in reforms
‘Involvement of Resident Welfare Associations, NGOs and other concerned citizens would help’
MYSORE: The voter turnout in the second phase of the elections held in ten districts has been put at 60 per cent, which is a drop of six per cent from the first phase of polls. What could be the reason for voter apathy? Can reforms set right the apathy and ensure people turn out in large numbers to exercise their franchise?
Social activist Vasanthkumar Mysoormath, who conducted voter awareness movements in 1999, 2004 and 2008 elections (first phase), has echoed Deputy Commissioner and District Election Officer P. Manivannan’s reported view that research has to be conducted on poor poll percentage.
“It is high time that such an exercise is undertaken by the Government of India. A number of election reforms are long-pending before the Centre.
The Election Commission itself has forwarded some suggestions that are pending since many years now,” said Mr. Mysoormath, who was the presiding officer in more than 10 elections.
Mr. Mysoormath, who retired from the Indian Audit and Accounts Department, maintained that the poll percentage can be substantially improved if the Government makes a “determined attempt” to bring in reforms as recommended by the Election Commission and experts over the years.
He, too, had made certain suggestions for improving the poll percentage.
Missing names
Many eligible voters have been denied their right to vote because their names were missing, although they held Elector’s Photo Identity Cards (EPIC).
“Why should they keep running around in circles to obtain updated EPICs every time there is an election, only to be turned down because the revised rolls do not contain their names,” he asked.
The money and energy spent for enumeration and preparation of electoral rolls with the help of teachers and government officials has time and again failed to produce the required results.
This needs to be answered because public money is being splurged to prepare incorrect rolls and to deny the citizens their right to vote, he said.
Involvement
It is also time for the citizens to behave in a responsible manner and involve themselves at the grassroots level to help the EC set right the perennial problem, he said.
The three-tier system applicable to rural areas viz., zilla, taluk and gram panchayats, is absent in urban areas. To fill this gap, involvement of Resident Welfare Associations/ NGOs and other concerned citizens would help.
Better network
“Street committees with volunteers from the residents in a street are the need of the hour.
They, in turn, can coordinate with ward committees for enumeration and compilation of near-perfect electoral rolls and also for assessing the works and projects that need attention and for projecting their demands and grievances with the concerned service providers,” Mr. Mysoormath suggested.
Sensitising youth
The youth of the country has exhibited rank apathy due to their feeling that “politics is a dirty business”.
Many have expressed disgust over the behaviour of politicians in Parliament/Assemblies.
‘Not bothered’
“The youth have not bothered even to register themselves as voters because of the cumbersome procedure and running around to get an EPIC which nevertheless becomes useless by the next election. This attitude needs to be changed,” he said.
Political will
What the country needs is political will to bring necessary legislation through amendment to those rule books that govern elections.
“Countries like Turkey and Australia have compulsory voting and the turnout is about 90-plus per cent. What made those countries prescribe such a rule and how it is implemented may be studied and adopted in our country also,” he said.
Incentives
Can incentives attract voters?
Some incentive is bound to attract at least a percentage of people to stop being apathetic and cynical and proceed to vote.
“A system may be prescribed: those who vote may be given a certificate by the EC for claiming say one or two per cent reduction in their electricity bills or water bills or property tax for a certain period after an election. If the percentage of voting can be increased by spending a few crores, then it will be well worth trying,” said Mr. Mysoormath.
EC has failed to check flow of money
Election Commission has failed to check distribution of money and other articles among voters. Mine lords, members of land mafia and anti-social elements were controlling the elections, which a dangerous development in democracy.
Major political parties had no moral right to go before the electorate as they had forgotten the basic principles of politics.

Tribal organisations, demand, disqualification, of candidates
Adivasi Swayattategagi Rastriya Rangha (ASRR)
and Nagarahole Tribal Rights Samithi have urged the Election
Commission to disqualify three candidates contesting from H D Kote
(Reserve) Assembly Constituency for allegedly producing false caste
certificates.
According to a press note issued by Samithi Convenor P K Ramu,
the candidates Mr Chikkanna (Congress), Mr Chikkaveera Nayaka (BJP)
and (Mr Doddanayaka (JD-S) had contested the Assembly elections from
this reserved constituency for tribals and urged the Commission to
disqualify and file criminal cases against them.
Earlier, based on a complaint filed by the public, Deputy
Commissioner and District Election Officer P Manivannan had
suspended H D Kote Tahasildar T Vijya and ordered a departmental
inquiry against her for issuing S T certificate to BJP candidate
Chikkaveera Naika.
They alleged that all three candidates had tampered with the
school documents and produced the false caste certificates during
the time of the election process and contested from H D Kote.
The Assistant Commissioner of Hunsur Sub Division M R Ravi had
submitted a report to the district election officer alleging
tampering with the records by the three candidates to claim the
Scheduled Tribe status to contest the election.
In his report, Mr Ravi stated the Tahsildar of H D Kote had
issued controversial caste certificates without verifying the
original documents and failed to follow the procedures before
issuing them.
Meanwhile, Deputy Commissioner and District Election Officer
P Manivannan said the report had been sent to the Election
Commission for further action.
In Reserved Constituencies, the Major Opposition Parties have encouraged False Caste Certificate holders as candidates.May be to keep them under their control for not asking for any provisions of reservation.
In CV Raman Nagar Constitutncy similar action was not taken when objection was raised during scrutiny, they were not rejected but accepted since the Tahsildars had issued them certificates and EC said that they were helpless and only the Courts can help them.
Some political parties were involved in the bomb blast at Hubli court to gain political mileage during the election.
Polling in sensitive booths of Bellary City and Rural was slow, but peaceful on the whole except for an incident in Srirampur Colony (SC (Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath) Colony), where a voter, Shivaji an asthma patient was not permitted to vote as he had produced only the xerox copy of his ID card which was not accepted by the polling officer.
An altercation ensued and the Border Security Force (BSF), who could not understand Kannada manhandled the voter and pushed him out. A group of people gathered and the situation was tense for a while. However, special observer Raymond Peter arrived on the spot. The voter and the local people mobbed his car and represented the case. The situation was brought under control.
Such a huge number of contestants has made the officials organize for two electronic voting machines in each polling booth. Each EVM can display a maximum of 16 names. Both machines will be connected to a single controlling unit, according to B P Adnoor, Commissioner, Bellary City Corporation.
Will voters be confused as they will have to look for their choice of candidates in two EVMs?
“No. Each candidate has been allotted with a number and a symbol. Voters will have to know that number. But in case of national parties, voters go by the symbol. In 2004, two EVMs were used in each booth as elections to the Assembly and Lok Sabha were held simultaneously. A voter will have to spend a second or two just to read the symbols as there would be two EVMs,” he said.
A tour around Bellary city showed that none of the independents are campaigning. Even major political party leaders admit that no independent is serious about the elections. Then why do they pay Rs 5,000 as deposit and enter the fray? A senior Congress leader said, “Majority of the independent candidates are dummy. They contest and approach us (major parties) for money to withdraw their nominations. This time none withdrew their papers. Each candidate is allowed to use only four vehicles for campaigning. This EC restriction has come as a major hurdle for us to campaign. So, we have kept the vehicles of independent candidates at our disposal. Of course, we have their money. This is done in by all major parties. Many of the independents are fielded by national parties”.
Another challenge being faced by the officials is to weed out the bogus student ID cards. The EC has listed 20 types of identity cards which can be used for casting vote. A voter has to produce any one of these to exercise his franchise. Students are allowed to produce their college ID card.
In the first phase of polling, students were found producing fake ID cards. So, the EC has sent mails to all the DCs to check the veracity of students’ ID card. “We have held a meeting with the principals of all colleges in Bellary and have directed them to ensure that their colleges are not found issuing bogus cards. If fake cards are found, then principals of such colleges will face criminal action,” said Aravind Srivastv, Deputy Commissioner, Bellary.
Security
Giving protection to polling booths in Bellary city is also a major challenge to officials. Each booth will be monitored by para military personnel because each one of the total 211 polling booths in the city is branded as hypersensitive, said Srivastav.
As many as 7,244 government staff has been drawn for election duty on March 16. Of this, 1,811 are presiding officers.
In fact, no staff is allowed to work in their home town or village. They have been allotted postings on a random basis. Till May 15 morning, they would not know where they will be posted. All these measures are taken to see that fare and free elections are held in the district, added Mr Srivastav.
Rs 10 crore worth liquor, gifts seized
As many as 1,418 criminal cases have been booked under provisions of IPC and Peoples Representation Act, while 1,705 cases have been registered under the Excise Act and Rs 3.5 crore worth IMF liquor and spirit has been seized since April 1….
Around 120 cases of inducement to voters by giving various gifts have been booked while property worth Rs 7 crore worth property have been seized, Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) Shankar Bidari said here on Wednesday. Speaking to reporters he said 16,616 persons have been arrested since April 1 and bonds have been obtained from them for good behaviour.
He said as many as 56,000 police personnel will be deployed in the second phase of elections to be held for 66 constituencies on May 16. This includes 21,000 civil police, 10,000 Home Guards, 22,000 para military forces and 3,000 KSRP personnel.
a total of 214 Central Para Military Force (CPMF) companies have been allotted to 66 Assembly constituencies in 10 districts, that include 21 for Raichur, Koppal (15) Uttara Kannada (18), Bellary (31), Chitradurga (18), Davanagere (24), Shimoga (22), Udupi (18), Chikmagalur (20) and Dakshina Kannada (27).
One mobile squad will be provided for every 20 polling stations. Each mobile squad comprises one police sub-inspector, one head constable, three constables and one Home Guard.
In all, there will be 650 mobile squads for all constituencies, Bidari said.
The CPMF pickets with one head constable, four constables/two head constables and 10 PCs will be posted in sensitive areas. Each constituency will have a striking force consisting one platoon of KSRP, he informed.
Polling booths
Bidari said out of the 12,271 polling stations in phase two, 3,754 have been classified as hypersensitive and 4,282 have been considered as sensitive. For every hypersensitive and sensitive booth, two uniformed police personnel and for every normal booth, one police personnel will be deployed.
families, in implementing housing programme and maintaining law and order.
BJP failure
BJP like the Congress and JDS also had to bear the burden of anti-incumbency as it had failed to issue ration cards to BPL
Peter takes charge
Senior IAS officer Raymond Peter, who was appointed as a special observer to oversee polling process in Bellary district, where mine owners have locked horns in the second phase, took charge on Wednesday.
He held a meeting with returning officers, top police officials and commandant of central security to review the poll preparations and arrangements.
In the December 2006 byelection to the Chamundeshwari Assembly constituency, Peter was the election observer and was known for dealing any violation of poll code of conduct with an iron hand.
The appointment of Peter in Bellary takes significance following allegations that voters are being lured with cash by mine owners. All the 211 polling stations in Bellary City has been declared as hypersensitive
In several areas, voters protested deletion of their names
Technical snags delaying and disrupting poll process for brief spells has been reported from several places.
Repolling in two polling stations
Electoral authorities on Sunday ordered repolling in two polling stations where elections were held during the first phase of Karnataka assembly polls
Repolling has been ordered at a polling station in Malleshwaram and another in Ramanagara following malfunctioning of EVMs there, Chief Electoral officer M N Vidyashankar told reporters.
BSP made whirlwind tours of the areas going to the polls seeking votes for stable governance, development and all-round welfare of the people.
For votes: . BSP supremo Mayawati and party leaders waving to the crowd in Gulbarga
Congress, BJP targeted
Ms. Mayawati accused the Congress and BJP of not protecting the quota rights of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
She said that thousands of posts reserved for SC/STs had not been filled and the number of backlog vacancies in the country was alarmingly high.
Addressing a public meeting in Gulbarga, Ms. Mayawati alleged that all governments at the Centre after Independence had been anti-reservation and anti-poor.
The economic policies pursued by Congress and BJP governments were blatantly anti-poor and pro-rich.
She said it was only in Uttar Pradesh, after the BSP came to power, that all backlog vacancies had been filled.
“All that is required is the will and commitment for the welfare of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and the oppressed sections, which was lacking in all other political parties,” she said.
She said the BSP was a cadre-based party and it was the funds provided by workers that kept the party going and not the money provided by industrialists and “that’s why we are independent and take pro-people decisions.”
Singling out Congress for attack, Ms. Mayawati questioned the contribution of that party and its governments for the welfare of the Muslims, who traditionally supported it.
“The economic condition of the Muslims is poor,” she said
She asked the Muslims to identify the parties that really worked for their welfare and support them.
The BSP leader said she favoured extension of reservation benefits to Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath Christians and Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath Muslims and added that she had already written to the Union Government in this regard. However, this reservation should be extended only after increasing the percentage of reservation for the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
Ms. Mayawati called upon the people of the State to defeat the BJP, Congress and regional parties and support the BSP which aimed at the welfare of all sections of society, including upper castes.
Party general secretaries Satish Chandra Mishra and P.G.R. Sindhia spoke. The former Minister D.T. Jayakumar and other leaders were present.
Manual scavenging still rampant in North East Delhi, says report
Parul Sharma
Finance and Development Corporation had sponsored the study to identify scavengers in the city
As per the report scavenging is a women dominated profession
‘The scavengers have high aspirations for their children and want them to study’
NEW DELHI: While 15 years have lapsed since the demeaning and humiliating practice of manual scavenging was banned through the enactment of the Employment of Manual Scavengers and Construction of Dry Latrines (Prohibition) Act, 1993, manual scavenging is still rampant in North East Delhi, where a majority of Delhi’s 1,282 scavengers work, a study by a Delhi University lecturer has revealed.
According to the study conducted by Pamela Singla, a lecturer at the Department of Social Work at Delhi University, the main pockets of residence and workplace of people engaged in removal of night soil are in areas like Karawal Nagar, Old Seelampur, Shahdara, Gandhi Nagar, Nand Nagri and Babarpur. “Scavenging is done mainly by two ways, either by cleaning of drains or emptying the containers containing night soil,” said Dr. Singla, sharing the findings of the study that she conducted for the Delhi SC/ST/OBC/Minorities/Handicapped Finance and Development Corporation.
The Corporation had sponsored the study to identify scavengers in the city. Acting on the report, the Delhi State Cabinet had recently decided to initiate steps for the rehabilitation of manual scavengers.
As per the report, “Scavengers and Scavenging in Delhi”, submitted to the Corporation in July last year, scavenging is a women dominated profession.
“About 80 per cent of scavengers are women and majority of them are married. Over 71 per cent are below 40 years of age. Out of 1,282 scavengers, 1,085 reside and work in Delhi, while the remaining work in the Capital but live in Loni. Besides scavenging, they also collect garbage and clean septic tanks. They are engaged in scavenging purely owing to financial reasons as they have to fend for their families,” shared Dr. Singla.
A majority of them are not satisfied with their jobs since the work is “extremely filthy”. About 12 per cent of scavengers said they could not quit the profession as there was no alternative means of employment available to them because of their illiteracy.
“They are not sure what they want to do. During informal interactions with some of the women, I could gauge that they were not ready to undergo training for any other job. They showed willingness to do government jobs. Some women even said they would not mind scavenging if it would be counted under government jobs and would give them a regular, fixed income at the end of the month coupled with weekly holidays,” she said.
According to the report, the scavengers had high aspirations for their children and wanted them to study and get into some “dignified profession”.
Interestingly, Dr. Singla had conducted the same study way back in 1992 and was glad to note that the number of human scavengers in the Capital had come down from 8,000 back then to 1,282 this time round.
“Things have improved in some ways. In 1992, there were many scavengers who carried it (night soil) head load. In 2007, such persons were almost negligible with most carrying it in a cart,” she noted.
Dr. Singla said the profession can be completely abolished only when the authorities convert “dry” latrines to “wet” latrines with simultaneous programmes for their rehabilitation.
“As long as there is a demand for their services, scavengers will continue to exist,” she concluded, adding that the Corporation is sharing the report with some ministries.

The Dhammapada: Verses and Stories in all languages of the world
https://www.tipitaka.net/tipitaka/dhp/
The Dhammapada: Verses and Stories Courtesy of Nibbana.com (http://www.nibbana.com/) For free distribution only, as a gift of dhamma.
Preface
Dhammapada is one of the best known books of the Pitaka. It is a
collection of the teachings of the Buddha expressed in clear, pithy
verses. These verses were culled from various discourses given by the
Buddha in the course of forty-five years of his teaching, as he
travelled in the valley of the Ganges (Ganga) and the sub-mountain tract
of the Himalayas. These verses are often terse, witty and convincing.
Whenever similes are used, they are those that are easily understood
even by a child, e.g., the cart’s wheel, a man’s shadow, a deep pool,
flowers. Through these verses, the Buddha exhorts one to achieve that
greatest of all conquests, the conquest of self; to escape from the
evils of passion, hatred and ignorance; and to strive hard to attain
freedom from craving and freedom from the round of rebirths. Each verse
contains a truth (dhamma), an exhortation, a piece of advice.
Dhammapada Verses
Dhammapada verses are often quoted by many in many countries of the
world and the book has been translated into many languages. One of the
earliest translations into English was made by Max Muller in 1870. Other
translations that followed are those by F.L. Woodward in 1921, by
Wagismara and Saunders in 1920, and by A.L. Edmunds (Hymns of the Faith)
in 1902. Of the recent translations, that by Narada Mahathera is the
most widely known. Dr. Walpola Rahula also has translated some selected
verses from the Dhammapada and has given them at the end of his book
“What the Buddha Taught,” revised edition. The Chinese translated the
Dhammapada from Sanskrit. The Chinese version of the Dhammapada was
translated into English by Samuel Beal (Texts from the Buddhist Canon
known as Dhammapada) in 1878.
In Burma, translations have been made into Burmese, mostly in prose,
some with paraphrases, explanations and abridgements of stories
relating to the verses. In recent years, some books on Dhammapada with
both Burmese and English translations, together with Pali verses, have
also been published.
The Dhammapada is the second book of the Khuddaka Nikaya of the
Suttanta Pitaka, consisting of four hundred and twenty-three verses in
twenty-six chapters arranged under various heads. In the Dhammapada are
enshrined the basic tenets of the Buddha’s Teaching.
Verse (21) which begins with “Appamado amatapadam” meaning
“Mindfulness is the way to Nibbana, the Deathless,” is a very important
and significant verse. Mindfulness is the most important element in
Tranquillity and Insight Meditation. The last exhortation of the Buddha
just before he passed away was also to be mindful and to endeavour
diligently (to complete the task of attaining freedom from the round of
rebirths through Magga and Phala). It is generally accepted that it was
on account of this verse on mindfulness that the Emperor Asoka of India
and King Anawrahta of Burma became converts to Buddhism. Both kings had
helped greatly in the propagation of Buddhism in their respective
countries.
In verse (29) the Buddha has coupled his call for mindfulness with a
sense of urgency. The verse runs: “Mindful amongst the negligent,
highly vigilant amongst the drowsy, the wise man advances like a race
horse, leaving the jade behind.”
Verses (1) and (2) illustrate the immutable law of Kamma, under
which every deed, good or bad, comes back to the doer. Here, the Buddha
emphasizes the importance of mind in all our actions and speaks of the
inevitable consequences of our deeds, words and thoughts.
Verses (153) and (154) are expressions of sublime and intense joy
uttered by the Buddha at the very moment of his Enlightenment. These two
verses give us a graphic account of the culmination of the Buddha’s
search for Truth.
They
tell us about the Buddha finding the ‘house-builder,’ Craving, the
cause of repeated births in Samsara. Having rid of Craving, for him no
more houses (khandhas) shall be built by Craving, and there will be no
more rebirths.
Verses (277), (278) and (279) are also important as they tell us
about the impermanent, unsatisfactory and the non-self nature of all
conditioned things; it is very important that one should perceive the
true nature of all conditioned things and become weary of the khandhas,
for this is the Path to Purity.
Then the Buddha shows us the Path leading to the liberation from
round of rebirths, i.e., the Path with eight constituents (Atthangiko
Maggo) in Verse (273). Further, the Buddha exhorts us to make our own
effort in Verse (276) saying, “You yourselves should make the effort,
the Tathagatas only show the way.” Verse (183) gives us the teaching of
the Buddhas. It says, “Do no evil, cultivate merit, purify one’s mind;
this is the teaching of the Buddhas.”
In Verse (24) the Buddha shows us the way to success in life, thus:
“If a person is energetic, mindful, pure in thought, word and deed, if
he does everything with care and consideration, restrains his senses;
earns his living according to the Dhamma and is not unheedful, then, the
fame and fortune of that mindful person increase.”
These are some of the examples of the gems to be found in the
Dhammapada. Dhammapada is, indeed, a philosopher, guide and friend to
all.
This translation of verses is from Pali into English. The Pali text
used is the Dhammapada Pali approved by the Sixth International Buddhist
Synod. We have tried to make the translation as close to the text as
possible, but sometimes it is very difficult, if not impossible, to find
an English word that would exactly correspond to a Pali word. For
example, we cannot yet find a single English word that can convey the
real meaning of the word “dukkha” used in the exposition of the Four
Noble Truths. In this translation, wherever the term “dukkha” carries
the same meaning as it does in the Four Noble Truths, it is left
untranslated; but only explained.
When there is any doubt in the interpretation of the dhamma concept
of the verses or when the literal meaning is vague or unintelligible, we
have referred to the Commentary (in Pali) and the Burmese translation
of the Commentary by the Nyaunglebin Sayadaw, a very learned thera. On
many occasions we have also consulted the teachers of the Dhamma
(Dhammacariyas) for elucidation of perplexing words and sentences.
In addition we have also consulted Burmese translations of the
Dhammapada, especially the translation by the Union Buddha Sasana
Council, the translation by the Sangaja Sayadaw (1805-1876), a leading
Maha thera in the time of King Mindon and King Thibaw, and also the
translation by Sayadaw U Thittila, an Ovadacariya Maha thera of the
Burma Pitaka Association. The book by the Sangaja Sayadaw also includes
paraphrases and abridgements of the Dhammapada stories.
Dhammapada Stories
Summaries of the Dhammapada stories are given in the second part of
the book as it is generally believed that the Dhammapada Commentary
written by Buddhaghosa (5th century A.D.) is a great help towards a
better understanding of the Dhammapada. Three hundred and five stories
are included in the Commentary. Most of the incidents mentioned in the
stories took place during the life-time of the Buddha. In some stories,
some facts about some past existences were also retold.
In writing summaries of stories we have not tried to translate the
Commentary. We have simply culled the facts of the stories and have
rewritten them briefly: A translation of the verses is given at the end
of each story.
It only remains for me now to express my deep and sincere gratitude
to the members of the Editorial Committee, Burma Pitaka Association, for
having meticulously gone through the script; to Sayagyi Dhammacariya U
Aung Moe and to U Thein Maung, editor, Burma Pitaka Association, for
helping in the translation of the verses.

प्रस्तावना
धम्मपदा पिटक की सबसे अच्छी ज्ञात पुस्तकों में से एक है। यह स्पष्ट,
पिथी छंदों में व्यक्त बुद्ध की शिक्षाओं का एक संग्रह है। इन छंदों को
बुद्ध द्वारा अपने शिक्षण के पैंतालीस वर्षों के दौरान दिए गए विभिन्न
प्रवचनों से हटा दिया गया था, क्योंकि उन्होंने गंगा की घाटी (गंगा) और
हिमालय के उप-माउंटेन पथ में यात्रा की थी। ये छंद अक्सर टेरस, मजाकिया और
आश्वस्त होते हैं। जब भी उपमाओं का उपयोग किया जाता है, तो वे वे होते हैं
जो आसानी से एक बच्चे, जैसे, कार्ट का पहिया, एक आदमी की छाया, एक गहरा
पूल, फूलों द्वारा भी समझ में आ जाते हैं। इन छंदों के माध्यम से, बुद्ध ने
सभी विजय, स्वयं की विजय को प्राप्त करने के लिए एक को छोड़ दिया; जुनून,
घृणा और अज्ञान की बुराइयों से बचने के लिए; और पुनर्जन्म के दौर से तरसने
और स्वतंत्रता से स्वतंत्रता प्राप्त करने के लिए कड़ी मेहनत करने के लिए।
प्रत्येक कविता में एक सत्य (धम्म), एक उपदेश, सलाह का एक टुकड़ा होता है।
धम्मपदा छंद
धम्मपद छंदों को अक्सर दुनिया के कई देशों में कई देशों में उद्धृत
किया जाता है और पुस्तक का कई भाषाओं में अनुवाद किया गया है। अंग्रेजी में
शुरुआती अनुवादों में से एक मैक्स मुलर द्वारा 1870 में बनाया गया था।
इसके बाद के अन्य अनुवाद एफ.एल. 1921 में वुडवर्ड, 1920 में वागिस्मारा और
सॉन्डर्स द्वारा, और 1902 में ए.एल. एडमंड्स (विश्वास के भजन) द्वारा। डॉ।
वालपोला राहुला ने धम्मपदा के कुछ चयनित छंदों का भी अनुवाद किया है और
उन्हें अपनी पुस्तक “व्हाट द बुद्धा सिखाया,” संशोधित संस्करण के अंत में
दिया है। चीनी ने संस्कृत से धम्मपद का अनुवाद किया। धम्मपद के चीनी
संस्करण का अंग्रेजी में सैमुअल बील (बौद्ध कैनन के ग्रंथों को धम्मपदा के
रूप में जाना जाता है) द्वारा 1878 में अंग्रेजी में अनुवाद किया गया था।
बर्मा में, अनुवाद बर्मी में किए गए हैं, ज्यादातर गद्य में, कुछ
छंदों से संबंधित कहानियों के विरोधाभास, स्पष्टीकरण और अपमान के साथ। हाल
के वर्षों में, बर्मी और अंग्रेजी दोनों अनुवादों के साथ धम्मपदा पर कुछ
किताबें, पाली वर्सेज के साथ मिलकर भी प्रकाशित हुई हैं।
धम्मपदा सुत्तंत पितक के खुदाका निकया की दूसरी पुस्तक है, जिसमें
छब्बीस अध्यायों में चार सौ तेईस छंद शामिल हैं, जो विभिन्न प्रमुखों के
तहत व्यवस्थित हैं। धम्मपद में बुद्ध के शिक्षण के मूल सिद्धांतों को निहित
किया जाता है।
कविता (21) जो “अप्पामादो अमातापादम” के साथ शुरू होती है, जिसका अर्थ
है “माइंडफुलनेस निबाना, द डेथलेस” का तरीका है, एक बहुत ही महत्वपूर्ण और
महत्वपूर्ण कविता है। माइंडफुलनेस शांति और अंतर्दृष्टि ध्यान में सबसे
महत्वपूर्ण तत्व है। बुद्ध का अंतिम उद्घोषणा होने से पहले ही उनका निधन हो
गया था, यह भी मनमोहक था और परिश्रम से (मैग और फाला के माध्यम से
पुनर्जन्म के दौर से स्वतंत्रता प्राप्त करने के कार्य को पूरा करने के
लिए)। आम तौर पर यह स्वीकार किया जाता है कि यह इस कविता के कारण मनमोहक था
कि भारत के सम्राट अशोक और बर्मा के राजा अनवरहता बौद्ध धर्म में
धर्मान्तरित हो गए। दोनों राजाओं ने अपने -अपने देशों में बौद्ध धर्म के
प्रसार में बहुत मदद की थी।
श्लोक (29) में बुद्ध ने तात्कालिकता की भावना के साथ माइंडफुलनेस के
लिए अपनी कॉल को युग्मित किया है। श्लोक चलता है: “लापरवाही के बीच का मन,
बहुत सतर्कता के बीच, बुद्धिमान व्यक्ति एक दौड़ के घोड़े की तरह आगे बढ़ता
है, जेड को पीछे छोड़ देता है।”
छंद (1) और (2) कममा के अपरिवर्तनीय कानून का वर्णन करते हैं, जिसके
तहत हर काम, अच्छा या बुरा, कर्ता में वापस आता है। यहां, बुद्ध हमारे सभी
कार्यों में मन के महत्व पर जोर देते हैं और हमारे कर्मों, शब्दों और
विचारों के अपरिहार्य परिणामों की बात करते हैं।
छंद (153) और (154) बुद्ध द्वारा अपने आत्मज्ञान के क्षण में बुद्ध
द्वारा उच्चतर और तीव्र आनंद के भाव हैं। ये दोनों छंद हमें बुद्ध की
सच्चाई के लिए खोज की परिणति का एक ग्राफिक खाता देते हैं।
वे
हमें बुद्ध के बारे में बताते हैं कि ‘हाउस-बिल्डर,’ लालसा, संस्कार में
बार-बार जन्म का कारण है। तरसने से छुटकारा पाने के बाद, उसके लिए कोई और
घर नहीं (खान) को तरसकर नहीं बनाया जाएगा, और कोई और पुनर्जन्म नहीं होगा।
छंद (277), (278) और (279) भी महत्वपूर्ण हैं क्योंकि वे हमें सभी
वातानुकूलित चीजों की असंतोष, असंतोषजनक और गैर-स्व प्रकृति के बारे में
बताते हैं; यह बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है कि किसी को सभी वातानुकूलित चीजों की
वास्तविक प्रकृति को समझना चाहिए और खानधों से थका हुआ होना चाहिए, क्योंकि
यह पवित्रता का मार्ग है।
तब बुद्ध हमें पुनर्जन्म के दौर से मुक्ति के लिए अग्रणी मार्ग दिखाते
हैं, अर्थात्, कविता (273) में आठ घटकों (एटथांगिको मैग्गो) के साथ पथ।
इसके अलावा, बुद्ध ने हमें कविता (276) में अपना प्रयास करने के लिए कहा,
“आप अपने आप को प्रयास करना चाहिए, तथागात्स केवल रास्ता दिखाते हैं।”
श्लोक (183) हमें बुद्धों का शिक्षण देता है। यह कहता है, “कोई बुराई मत
करो, योग्यता की खेती करो, किसी के दिमाग को शुद्ध करो; यह बुद्धों का
शिक्षण है।”
कविता
(24) में बुद्ध हमें जीवन में सफलता का रास्ता दिखाते हैं, इस प्रकार:
“यदि कोई व्यक्ति ऊर्जावान, दिमागदार, विचार, शब्द और विलेख में शुद्ध है,
अगर वह सब कुछ देखभाल और विचार के साथ करता है, तो अपनी इंद्रियों को रोकता
है; धम्म के अनुसार रहना और अनसुना नहीं है, फिर, उस दिमागदार व्यक्ति की
प्रसिद्धि और भाग्य बढ़ता है। “
ये धम्मपद में पाए जाने वाले रत्नों के कुछ उदाहरण हैं। धम्मपदा, वास्तव में, एक दार्शनिक, मार्गदर्शक और सभी के लिए मित्र है।
छंदों का यह अनुवाद पाली से अंग्रेजी में है। पाली पाठ का उपयोग छठे
अंतर्राष्ट्रीय बौद्ध धर्मसभा द्वारा अनुमोदित धम्मपद पाली है। हमने अनुवाद
को यथासंभव पाठ के करीब बनाने की कोशिश की है, लेकिन कभी -कभी यह बहुत
मुश्किल होता है, यदि असंभव नहीं है, तो एक अंग्रेजी शब्द खोजने के लिए जो
बिल्कुल एक पाली शब्द के अनुरूप होगा। उदाहरण के लिए, हम अभी तक एक एकल
अंग्रेजी शब्द नहीं पा सकते हैं जो चार महान सत्य के विस्तार में उपयोग किए
जाने वाले “दुकखा” शब्द के वास्तविक अर्थ को व्यक्त कर सकता है। इस अनुवाद
में, जहां भी “दुकाख” शब्द उसी अर्थ को वहन करता है जैसा कि चार महान सत्य
में होता है, यह अनियंत्रित छोड़ दिया जाता है; लेकिन केवल समझाया गया।
जब छंदों की धम्म की अवधारणा की व्याख्या में कोई संदेह होता है या जब
शाब्दिक अर्थ अस्पष्ट या अनपेक्षित होता है, थेरा। कई अवसरों पर हमने धम्म
(धम्मकरीस) के शिक्षकों से भी सलाह दी है, जो शब्दों और वाक्यों के बारे
में बताते हैं।
इसके अलावा, हमने धम्मपद के बर्मी अनुवादों से भी परामर्श किया है,
विशेष रूप से संघ बुद्ध सासन काउंसिल द्वारा अनुवाद, संगजा सयादव
(1805-1876) द्वारा अनुवाद, किंग मिंडन और किंग थिबाव के समय में एक प्रमुख
महा तेरा, और भी, और भी बर्मा पिटाका एसोसिएशन के एक ओवादकारिया महा थेरा
सायदव यू थिटिला द्वारा अनुवाद। संगजा सयादव की पुस्तक में धम्मपद की
कहानियों के विरोधाभास और अपमान भी शामिल हैं।
धम्मपद की कहानियां
धम्मपद की कहानियों के सारांश पुस्तक के दूसरे भाग में दिए गए हैं
क्योंकि यह आमतौर पर माना जाता है कि बुद्धघोसा (5 वीं शताब्दी ए। डी।)
द्वारा लिखी गई धम्मपद टिप्पणी धम्मपदा की बेहतर समझ के लिए एक बड़ी मदद
है। कमेंट्री में तीन सौ पाँच कहानियां शामिल हैं। कहानियों में उल्लिखित
अधिकांश घटनाएं बुद्ध के जीवन-समय के दौरान हुईं। कुछ कहानियों में, कुछ
अतीत के अस्तित्व के बारे में कुछ तथ्य भी रिटॉल्ड थे।
कहानियों के सारांश लिखने में हमने टिप्पणी का अनुवाद करने की कोशिश
नहीं की है। हमने बस कहानियों के तथ्यों को कम कर दिया है और उन्हें
संक्षेप में फिर से लिखा गया है: प्रत्येक कहानी के अंत में छंदों का
अनुवाद दिया गया है।
यह केवल अब मेरे लिए बना हुआ है कि संपादकीय समिति के सदस्यों, बर्मा
पितका एसोसिएशन के सदस्यों के प्रति मेरी गहरी और ईमानदारी से आभार व्यक्त
करें, जो कि स्क्रिप्ट के माध्यम से सावधानीपूर्वक जाने के लिए है; छंदों
के अनुवाद में मदद करने के लिए सयागी धम्मकारिया यू आंग मो और यू थिन

ತೆಗೆದಿದ್ದಾನೆ, ಏಕೆಂದರೆ ಅವನು ಗಂಗಾ ಕಣಿವೆಯಲ್ಲಿ (ಗಂಗಾ) ಪ್ರಯಾಣಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದನು
ಮತ್ತು ಹಿಮಾಲಯದ ಉಪ-ಪರ್ವತ ಪ್ರದೇಶದಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರಯಾಣಿಸಿದನು. ಈ ಪದ್ಯಗಳು ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯವಾಗಿ
ಕಠಿಣ, ಹಾಸ್ಯಮಯ ಮತ್ತು ಮನವರಿಕೆಯಾಗುತ್ತವೆ. ಸಿಮೈಲ್ಗಳನ್ನು ಬಳಸಿದಾಗಲೆಲ್ಲಾ,
ಅವುಗಳು ಮಗುವಿನಿಂದಲೂ ಸುಲಭವಾಗಿ ಅರ್ಥವಾಗುತ್ತವೆ, ಉದಾ., ಕಾರ್ಟ್ನ ಚಕ್ರ, ಮನುಷ್ಯನ
ನೆರಳು, ಆಳವಾದ ಕೊಳ, ಹೂವುಗಳು. ಈ ವಚನಗಳ ಮೂಲಕ, ಬುದ್ಧನು ಎಲ್ಲ ವಿಜಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಆ
ಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠತೆಯನ್ನು ಸಾಧಿಸಲು ಒಬ್ಬನನ್ನು ಪ್ರಚೋದಿಸುತ್ತಾನೆ, ಸ್ವಯಂ ವಿಜಯ; ಉತ್ಸಾಹ,
ದ್ವೇಷ ಮತ್ತು ಅಜ್ಞಾನದ ದುಷ್ಕೃತ್ಯಗಳಿಂದ ತಪ್ಪಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲು; ಮತ್ತು ಪುನರ್ಜನ್ಮಗಳ
ಸುತ್ತಿನಿಂದ ಹಂಬಲ ಮತ್ತು ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ್ಯದಿಂದ ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ್ಯವನ್ನು ಪಡೆಯಲು
ಶ್ರಮಿಸುವುದು. ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಂದು ಪದ್ಯವು ಸತ್ಯವನ್ನು (ಧಮ್ಮ), ಒಂದು ಉಪದೇಶ, ಸಲಹೆಯನ್ನು
ಒಳಗೊಂಡಿದೆ.
ಧಮ್ಮಪಡ ಪದ್ಯಗಳು
ಧಮ್ಮಪದ ಪದ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಗಿ ವಿಶ್ವದ ಅನೇಕ ದೇಶಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಉಲ್ಲೇಖಿಸಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ
ಮತ್ತು ಪುಸ್ತಕವನ್ನು ಅನೇಕ ಭಾಷೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಅನುವಾದಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಇಂಗ್ಲಿಷ್ಗೆ ಮುಂಚಿನ
ಅನುವಾದಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದನ್ನು 1870 ರಲ್ಲಿ ಮ್ಯಾಕ್ಸ್ ಮುಲ್ಲರ್ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ನಂತರದ ಇತರ
ಅನುವಾದಗಳು ಎಫ್.ಎಲ್. ವುಡ್ವರ್ಡ್ 1921 ರಲ್ಲಿ, 1920 ರಲ್ಲಿ ವ್ಯಾಗಿಸ್ಮರಾ ಮತ್ತು
ಸೌಂಡರ್ಸ್ ಮತ್ತು 1902 ರಲ್ಲಿ ಎ.ಎಲ್. ಡಾ. ವಾಲ್ಪೋಲಾ ರಾಹುಲಾ ಅವರು ಧಮ್ಮಪದದಿಂದ
ಕೆಲವು ಆಯ್ದ ಪದ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ಅನುವಾದಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ ಮತ್ತು ಅವರ “ವಾಟ್ ದಿ ಬುದ್ಧನ ಕಲಿಸಿದ”
ಪುಸ್ತಕದ ಕೊನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪರಿಷ್ಕೃತ ಆವೃತ್ತಿ ನೀಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಚೀನಿಯರು ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತದಿಂದ
ಧಮ್ಮಪದವನ್ನು ಅನುವಾದಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಧಮ್ಮಪಡಾದ ಚೀನೀ ಆವೃತ್ತಿಯನ್ನು 1878 ರಲ್ಲಿ
ಸ್ಯಾಮ್ಯುಯೆಲ್ ಬೀಲ್ (ಧಮ್ಮಪಡ ಎಂದು ಕರೆಯಲ್ಪಡುವ ಬೌದ್ಧ ಕ್ಯಾನನ್ ಪಠ್ಯಗಳು)
ಇಂಗ್ಲಿಷ್ಗೆ ಅನುವಾದಿಸಿದರು.
ಬರ್ಮಾದಲ್ಲಿ, ಅನುವಾದಗಳನ್ನು ಬರ್ಮೀಸ್ ಆಗಿ ಮಾಡಲಾಗಿದೆ, ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಗಿ ಗದ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ,
ಕೆಲವು ಪ್ಯಾರಾಫ್ರೇಸ್ಗಳು, ವಿವರಣೆಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಪದ್ಯಗಳಿಗೆ ಸಂಬಂಧಿಸಿದ ಕಥೆಗಳ
ಸಂಕ್ಷಿಪ್ತತೆಗಳನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿದೆ. ಇತ್ತೀಚಿನ ವರ್ಷಗಳಲ್ಲಿ, ಬರ್ಮೀಸ್ ಮತ್ತು ಇಂಗ್ಲಿಷ್
ಅನುವಾದಗಳೊಂದಿಗೆ ಧಮ್ಮಪಡಾದ ಕೆಲವು ಪುಸ್ತಕಗಳು, ಪಾಲಿ ಪದ್ಯಗಳೊಂದಿಗೆ ಸಹ
ಪ್ರಕಟಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ.
ಧಮ್ಮಪಡವು ಸುತಂತ ಪಿಟಾಕಾದ ಖುದ್ದಾಕ ನಿಕಾಯಾದ ಎರಡನೇ ಪುಸ್ತಕವಾಗಿದ್ದು, ವಿವಿಧ
ತಲೆಗಳ ಅಡಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಜೋಡಿಸಲಾದ ಇಪ್ಪತ್ತಾರು ಅಧ್ಯಾಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ನಾನೂರ ಇಪ್ಪತ್ಮೂರು
ಪದ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ಒಳಗೊಂಡಿದೆ. ಧಮ್ಮಪಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಬುದ್ಧನ ಬೋಧನೆಯ ಮೂಲ ಸಿದ್ಧಾಂತಗಳನ್ನು
ಪ್ರತಿಷ್ಠಾಪಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ.
“ಅಪ್ಪಾಮಾಡೊ ಅಮತಪಡಮ್” ನೊಂದಿಗೆ ಪ್ರಾರಂಭವಾಗುವ ಪದ್ಯ (21) ಅಂದರೆ “ಸಾವಧಾನತೆ
ನಿಬ್ಬಾನಾದ ಮಾರ್ಗವಾಗಿದೆ, ಮರಣರಹಿತ” ಎಂಬುದು ಬಹಳ ಮುಖ್ಯವಾದ ಮತ್ತು ಮಹತ್ವದ
ಪದ್ಯವಾಗಿದೆ. ನೆಮ್ಮದಿ ಮತ್ತು ಒಳನೋಟ ಧ್ಯಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ಮೈಂಡ್ಫುಲ್ನೆಸ್ ಪ್ರಮುಖ
ಅಂಶವಾಗಿದೆ. ಬುದ್ಧನು ತೀರಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ಮುನ್ನ ಕೊನೆಯ ಉಪದೇಶವು ಎಚ್ಚರದಿಂದಿರಬೇಕು ಮತ್ತು
ಶ್ರದ್ಧೆಯಿಂದ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಿಸುವುದು (ಮಜಿ ಮತ್ತು ಫಲಾ ಮೂಲಕ ಪುನರ್ಜನ್ಮಗಳ ಸುತ್ತಿನಿಂದ
ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ್ಯವನ್ನು ಪಡೆಯುವ ಕೆಲಸವನ್ನು ಪೂರ್ಣಗೊಳಿಸಲು). ಭಾರತದ ಅಶೋಕ ಮತ್ತು ಬರ್ಮಾದ
ರಾಜ ಅನಾವ್ರಹ್ತಾ ಅವರು ಬೌದ್ಧಧರ್ಮಕ್ಕೆ ಮತಾಂತರಗೊಂಡರು ಎಂಬುದು ಸಾವಧಾನತೆಯ ಮೇಲಿನ ಈ
ಪದ್ಯವನ್ನು ಪರಿಗಣಿಸಿದೆ ಎಂದು ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯವಾಗಿ ಒಪ್ಪಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಆಯಾ ದೇಶಗಳಲ್ಲಿ
ಬೌದ್ಧಧರ್ಮದ ಪ್ರಸರಣದಲ್ಲಿ ಇಬ್ಬರೂ ರಾಜರು ಬಹಳವಾಗಿ ಸಹಾಯ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದರು.
ಪದ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ (29) ಬುದ್ಧನು ಸಾವಧಾನತೆಯ ಕರೆಯನ್ನು ತುರ್ತು ಪ್ರಜ್ಞೆಯೊಂದಿಗೆ
ಸೇರಿಸಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದಾನೆ. ಪದ್ಯವು ಚಲಿಸುತ್ತದೆ: “ನಿರ್ಲಕ್ಷ್ಯದ ನಡುವೆ ಎಚ್ಚರದಿಂದಿ,
ಅರೆನಿದ್ರಾವಸ್ಥೆಯ ನಡುವೆ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಜಾಗರೂಕನಾಗಿ, ಬುದ್ಧಿವಂತನು ಓಟದ ಕುದುರೆಯಂತೆ
ಮುನ್ನಡೆಯುತ್ತಾನೆ, ಜೇಡ್ ಅನ್ನು ಬಿಟ್ಟು ಹೋಗುತ್ತಾನೆ.”
(1) ಮತ್ತು (2) ಪದ್ಯಗಳು ಕಮ್ಮಾದ ಬದಲಾಗದ ಕಾನೂನನ್ನು ವಿವರಿಸುತ್ತದೆ, ಅದರ
ಅಡಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಂದು ಕಾರ್ಯ, ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದು ಅಥವಾ ಕೆಟ್ಟದು ಮತ್ತೆ ಮಾಡುವವರಿಗೆ
ಬರುತ್ತದೆ. ಇಲ್ಲಿ, ಬುದ್ಧನು ನಮ್ಮ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಕಾರ್ಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮನಸ್ಸಿನ ಮಹತ್ವವನ್ನು
ಒತ್ತಿಹೇಳುತ್ತಾನೆ ಮತ್ತು ನಮ್ಮ ಕಾರ್ಯಗಳು, ಪದಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಆಲೋಚನೆಗಳ ಅನಿವಾರ್ಯ
ಪರಿಣಾಮಗಳ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಹೇಳುತ್ತಾನೆ.
ಪದ್ಯಗಳು (153) ಮತ್ತು (154) ಬುದ್ಧನು ತನ್ನ ಜ್ಞಾನೋದಯದ ಕ್ಷಣದಲ್ಲಿಯೇ
ಭವ್ಯವಾದ ಮತ್ತು ತೀವ್ರವಾದ ಸಂತೋಷದ ಅಭಿವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಗಳು. ಈ ಎರಡು ಪದ್ಯಗಳು ಬುದ್ಧನ ಸತ್ಯದ
ಹುಡುಕಾಟದ ಪರಾಕಾಷ್ಠೆಯ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ನಮಗೆ ಒಂದು ಗ್ರಾಫಿಕ್ ಖಾತೆಯನ್ನು ನೀಡುತ್ತವೆ.
ಸಂಸಾರದಲ್ಲಿ
ಪುನರಾವರ್ತಿತ ಜನನಗಳಿಗೆ ಕಾರಣವಾದ ‘ಮನೆ-ನಿರ್ಮೂಲಕ,’ ಹಂಬಲವನ್ನು ಕಂಡುಕೊಳ್ಳುವ
ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಅವರು ನಮಗೆ ಹೇಳುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಹಂಬಲವನ್ನು ತೊಡೆದುಹಾಕಿದ ನಂತರ, ಅವನಿಗೆ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನ
ಮನೆಗಳು (ಖಂದಗಳು) ಹಂಬಲಿಸುವ ಮೂಲಕ ನಿರ್ಮಿಸಲಾಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ, ಮತ್ತು ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನ
ಪುನರ್ಜನ್ಮಗಳು ಇರುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.
ಪದ್ಯಗಳು (277), (278) ಮತ್ತು (279) ಸಹ ಮುಖ್ಯವಾದವು, ಏಕೆಂದರೆ ಅವರು ಎಲ್ಲಾ
ನಿಯಮಾಧೀನ ವಸ್ತುಗಳ ಅಶ್ಲೀಲ, ಅತೃಪ್ತಿಕರ ಮತ್ತು ಸ್ವಯಂ-ಅಲ್ಲದ ಸ್ವಭಾವದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ನಮಗೆ
ತಿಳಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ; ಒಬ್ಬರು ಎಲ್ಲಾ ನಿಯಮಾಧೀನ ವಸ್ತುಗಳ ನೈಜ ಸ್ವರೂಪವನ್ನು ಗ್ರಹಿಸಬೇಕು
ಮತ್ತು ಖಂಧರ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಬೇಸರಗೊಳ್ಳುವುದು ಬಹಳ ಮುಖ್ಯ, ಏಕೆಂದರೆ ಇದು ಶುದ್ಧತೆಯ
ಮಾರ್ಗವಾಗಿದೆ.
ನಂತರ ಬುದ್ಧನು ಪುನರ್ಜನ್ಮದ ಸುತ್ತಿನಿಂದ ವಿಮೋಚನೆಗೆ ಕಾರಣವಾಗುವ ಮಾರ್ಗವನ್ನು
ನಮಗೆ ತೋರಿಸುತ್ತದೆ, ಅಂದರೆ, ಪದ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ (273) ಎಂಟು ಘಟಕಗಳ (ಅಂಥಂಗಿಕೊ ಮ್ಯಾಗ್ಗೊ)
ಇರುವ ಮಾರ್ಗ. ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ, “ನೀವೇ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನವನ್ನು ಮಾಡಬೇಕು, ತಥಗತರು ಮಾತ್ರ ದಾರಿ
ತೋರಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ” ಎಂದು ಹೇಳುವ (276) ಶ್ಲೋಕದಲ್ಲಿ ನಮ್ಮದೇ ಆದ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನವನ್ನು ಮಾಡಲು
ಬುದ್ಧ ನಮಗೆ ಪ್ರಚೋದಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. ಪದ್ಯ (183) ನಮಗೆ ಬುದ್ಧರ ಬೋಧನೆಯನ್ನು ನೀಡುತ್ತದೆ.
ಅದು ಹೇಳುತ್ತದೆ, “ಯಾವುದೇ ಕೆಟ್ಟದ್ದನ್ನು ಮಾಡಬೇಡಿ, ಅರ್ಹತೆಯನ್ನು ಬೆಳೆಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳಿ,
ಒಬ್ಬರ ಮನಸ್ಸನ್ನು ಶುದ್ಧೀಕರಿಸಿ; ಇದು ಬುದ್ಧರ ಬೋಧನೆ.”
ಪದ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ
(24) ಬುದ್ಧನು ಜೀವನದಲ್ಲಿ ಯಶಸ್ಸಿನ ಮಾರ್ಗವನ್ನು ನಮಗೆ ತೋರಿಸುತ್ತಾನೆ, ಹೀಗೆ:
“ಒಬ್ಬ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಯು ಶಕ್ತಿಯುತ, ಬುದ್ದಿವಂತನಾಗಿದ್ದರೆ, ಆಲೋಚನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ
ಶುದ್ಧನಾಗಿದ್ದರೆ, ಮಾತು ಮತ್ತು ಕಾರ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ, ಅವನು ಎಲ್ಲವನ್ನೂ ಎಚ್ಚರಿಕೆಯಿಂದ ಮತ್ತು
ಪರಿಗಣನೆಯೊಂದಿಗೆ ಮಾಡಿದರೆ, ಅವನ ಇಂದ್ರಿಯಗಳನ್ನು ನಿಗ್ರಹಿಸುತ್ತಾನೆ; ಅವನ ಸಂಪಾದನೆ;
ಧಮ್ಮದ ಪ್ರಕಾರ ವಾಸಿಸುವುದು ಮತ್ತು ಆ ಮನಸ್ಸಿನ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಯ ಖ್ಯಾತಿ ಮತ್ತು ಅದೃಷ್ಟವು
ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. “
ಧಮ್ಮಪಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಕಂಡುಬರುವ ರತ್ನಗಳ ಕೆಲವು ಉದಾಹರಣೆಗಳು ಇವು. ಧಮ್ಮಪಡವು ನಿಜಕ್ಕೂ ತತ್ವಜ್ಞಾನಿ, ಮಾರ್ಗದರ್ಶಿ ಮತ್ತು ಎಲ್ಲರಿಗೂ ಸ್ನೇಹಿತ.
ಪದ್ಯಗಳ ಈ ಅನುವಾದವು ಪಾಲಿಯಿಂದ ಇಂಗ್ಲಿಷ್ಗೆ ಬಂದಿದೆ. ಆರನೇ ಅಂತರರಾಷ್ಟ್ರೀಯ
ಬೌದ್ಧ ಸಿನೊಡ್ ಅನುಮೋದಿಸಿದ ಧಮ್ಮಪದ ಪಾಲಿ ಬಳಸಿದ ಪಾಲಿ ಪಠ್ಯ. ಅನುವಾದವನ್ನು
ಸಾಧ್ಯವಾದಷ್ಟು ಪಠ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ ಹತ್ತಿರವಾಗಿಸಲು ನಾವು ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಿಸಿದ್ದೇವೆ, ಆದರೆ
ಕೆಲವೊಮ್ಮೆ ಪಾಲಿ ಪದಕ್ಕೆ ಅನುಗುಣವಾದ ಇಂಗ್ಲಿಷ್ ಪದವನ್ನು ಕಂಡುಹಿಡಿಯುವುದು ತುಂಬಾ
ಕಷ್ಟ, ಅಸಾಧ್ಯವಲ್ಲ. ಉದಾಹರಣೆಗೆ, ನಾಲ್ಕು ಉದಾತ್ತ ಸತ್ಯಗಳ ನಿರೂಪಣೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಬಳಸಲಾದ
“ದುಖಾ” ಪದದ ನೈಜ ಅರ್ಥವನ್ನು ತಿಳಿಸಬಲ್ಲ ಒಂದೇ ಇಂಗ್ಲಿಷ್ ಪದವನ್ನು ನಾವು ಇನ್ನೂ
ಕಂಡುಹಿಡಿಯಲಾಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಈ ಅನುವಾದದಲ್ಲಿ, “ದುಖಾ” ಎಂಬ ಪದವು ನಾಲ್ಕು ಉದಾತ್ತ
ಸತ್ಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾಡುವಂತೆಯೇ ಅದೇ ಅರ್ಥವನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿದೆ, ಅದು ಅನುವಾದಿಸದೆ
ಬಿಡಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ; ಆದರೆ ಮಾತ್ರ ವಿವರಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ.
ಪದ್ಯಗಳ ಧಮ್ಮ ಪರಿಕಲ್ಪನೆಯ ವ್ಯಾಖ್ಯಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ಯಾವುದೇ ಸಂದೇಹವಿದ್ದಾಗ ಅಥವಾ
ಅಕ್ಷರಶಃ ಅರ್ಥವು ಅಸ್ಪಷ್ಟ ಅಥವಾ ಗ್ರಹಿಸಲಾಗದಿದ್ದಾಗ, ನಾವು ವ್ಯಾಖ್ಯಾನವನ್ನು (ಪಾಲಿ)
ಮತ್ತು ಬರ್ಮೀಸ್ ಅನುವಾದವನ್ನು ನ್ಯಾಂಗೆಬಿನ್ ಸಯಾಡಾವ್ ಅವರ ವ್ಯಾಖ್ಯಾನವನ್ನು
ಉಲ್ಲೇಖಿಸಿದ್ದೇವೆ, ಬಹಳ ಕಲಿತರು ಥೇರಾ. ಅನೇಕ ಸಂದರ್ಭಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ನಾವು ದರ್ಪ್ಲೆಕ್ಸಿಂಗ್
ಪದಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ವಾಕ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟಪಡಿಸಿದ್ದಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಧಮ್ಮ (ಧಮ್ಮಕರಿಯಾ)
ಶಿಕ್ಷಕರನ್ನು ಸಂಪರ್ಕಿಸಿದ್ದೇವೆ.
ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ, ನಾವು ಧಮ್ಮಪದ ಬರ್ಮೀಸ್ ಅನುವಾದಗಳನ್ನು ಸಹ ಸಂಪರ್ಕಿಸಿದ್ದೇವೆ,
ವಿಶೇಷವಾಗಿ ಯೂನಿಯನ್ ಬುದ್ಧ ಸಾಸಾನಾ ಕೌನ್ಸಿಲ್ ಅವರ ಅನುವಾದ, ಸಂಗಾಜ ಸಯಾದಾವ್
(1805-1876) ಅವರ ಅನುವಾದ, ರಾಜ ಮಿಂಡನ್ ಮತ್ತು ಕಿಂಗ್ ತಿಬಾವ್ ಅವರ ಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ

ಪ್ಯಾರಾಫ್ರೇಸ್ಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಸಂಕ್ಷಿಪ್ತ ರೂಪಗಳಿವೆ.
ಧಮ್ಮಪದ ಕಥೆಗಳು
ಧಮ್ಮಪಡ ಕಥೆಗಳ ಸಾರಾಂಶವನ್ನು ಪುಸ್ತಕದ ಎರಡನೇ ಭಾಗದಲ್ಲಿ ನೀಡಲಾಗಿದೆ, ಏಕೆಂದರೆ
ಬುದ್ಧಘೋಸಾ (5 ನೇ ಶತಮಾನದ ಎ.ಡಿ.) ಬರೆದ ಧಮ್ಮಪದ ವ್ಯಾಖ್ಯಾನವು ಧಮ್ಮಪದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಉತ್ತಮ
ತಿಳುವಳಿಕೆಯ ಕಡೆಗೆ ಒಂದು ದೊಡ್ಡ ಸಹಾಯವಾಗಿದೆ ಎಂದು ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯವಾಗಿ ನಂಬಲಾಗಿದೆ.
ಮುನ್ನೂರು ಮತ್ತು ಐದು ಕಥೆಗಳನ್ನು ವ್ಯಾಖ್ಯಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ಸೇರಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಕಥೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ
ಉಲ್ಲೇಖಿಸಲಾದ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನ ಘಟನೆಗಳು ಬುದ್ಧನ ಜೀವಿತಾವಧಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆದವು. ಕೆಲವು
ಕಥೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ, ಹಿಂದಿನ ಕೆಲವು ಅಸ್ತಿತ್ವಗಳ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಕೆಲವು ಸಂಗತಿಗಳು ಸಹ
ಮರುಪರಿಶೀಲಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟವು.
ಕಥೆಗಳ ಸಾರಾಂಶಗಳನ್ನು ಬರೆಯುವಾಗ ನಾವು ವ್ಯಾಖ್ಯಾನವನ್ನು ಭಾಷಾಂತರಿಸಲು
ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಿಸಲಿಲ್ಲ. ನಾವು ಕಥೆಗಳ ಸಂಗತಿಗಳನ್ನು ಸರಳವಾಗಿ ತಗ್ಗಿಸಿದ್ದೇವೆ ಮತ್ತು
ಅವುಗಳನ್ನು ಸಂಕ್ಷಿಪ್ತವಾಗಿ ಪುನಃ ಬರೆದಿದ್ದೇವೆ: ಪ್ರತಿ ಕಥೆಯ ಕೊನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪದ್ಯಗಳ
ಅನುವಾದವನ್ನು ನೀಡಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.

Dhammapada is one of the best known books of the Pitaka. It is a
collection of the teachings of the Buddha expressed in clear, pithy
verses. These verses were culled from various discourses given by the
Buddha in the course of forty-five years of his teaching, as he
travelled in the valley of the Ganges (Ganga) and the sub-mountain tract
of the Himalayas. These verses are often terse, witty and convincing.
Whenever similes are used, they are those that are easily understood
even by a child, e.g., the cart’s wheel, a man’s shadow, a deep pool,
flowers. Through these verses, the Buddha exhorts one to achieve that
greatest of all conquests, the conquest of self; to escape from the
evils of passion, hatred and ignorance; and to strive hard to attain
freedom from craving and freedom from the round of rebirths. Each verse
contains a truth (dhamma), an exhortation, a piece of advice.
Dhammapada Verses
Dhammapada verses are often quoted by many in many countries of the
world and the book has been translated into many languages. One of the
earliest translations into English was made by Max Muller in 1870. Other
translations that followed are those by F.L. Woodward in 1921, by
Wagismara and Saunders in 1920, and by A.L. Edmunds (Hymns of the Faith)
in 1902. Of the recent translations, that by Narada Mahathera is the
most widely known. Dr. Walpola Rahula also has translated some selected
verses from the Dhammapada and has given them at the end of his book
“What the Buddha Taught,” revised edition. The Chinese translated the
Dhammapada from Sanskrit. The Chinese version of the Dhammapada was
translated into English by Samuel Beal (Texts from the Buddhist Canon
known as Dhammapada) in 1878.
In Burma, translations have been made into Burmese, mostly in
prose, some with paraphrases, explanations and abridgements of stories
relating to the verses. In recent years, some books on Dhammapada with
both Burmese and English translations, together with Pali verses, have
also been published.
The Dhammapada is the second book of the Khuddaka Nikaya of the
Suttanta Pitaka, consisting of four hundred and twenty-three verses in
twenty-six chapters arranged under various heads. In the Dhammapada are
enshrined the basic tenets of the Buddha’s Teaching.
Verse (21) which begins with “Appamado amatapadam” meaning
“Mindfulness is the way to Nibbana, the Deathless,” is a very important
and significant verse. Mindfulness is the most important element in
Tranquillity and Insight Meditation. The last exhortation of the Buddha
just before he passed away was also to be mindful and to endeavour
diligently (to complete the task of attaining freedom from the round of
rebirths through Magga and Phala). It is generally accepted that it was
on account of this verse on mindfulness that the Emperor Asoka of India
and King Anawrahta of Burma became converts to Buddhism. Both kings had
helped greatly in the propagation of Buddhism in their respective
countries.
In verse (29) the Buddha has coupled his call for mindfulness with a
sense of urgency. The verse runs: “Mindful amongst the negligent,
highly vigilant amongst the drowsy, the wise man advances like a race
horse, leaving the jade behind.”
Verses (1) and (2) illustrate the immutable law of Kamma, under
which every deed, good or bad, comes back to the doer. Here, the Buddha
emphasizes the importance of mind in all our actions and speaks of the
inevitable consequences of our deeds, words and thoughts.
Verses (153) and (154) are expressions of sublime and intense joy
uttered by the Buddha at the very moment of his Enlightenment. These two
verses give us a graphic account of the culmination of the Buddha’s
search for Truth.
They
tell us about the Buddha finding the ‘house-builder,’ Craving, the
cause of repeated births in Samsara. Having rid of Craving, for him no
more houses (khandhas) shall be built by Craving, and there will be no
more rebirths.
Verses (277), (278) and (279) are also important as they tell us
about the impermanent, unsatisfactory and the non-self nature of all
conditioned things; it is very important that one should perceive the
true nature of all conditioned things and become weary of the khandhas,
for this is the Path to Purity.
Then the Buddha shows us the Path leading to the liberation from
round of rebirths, i.e., the Path with eight constituents (Atthangiko
Maggo) in Verse (273). Further, the Buddha exhorts us to make our own
effort in Verse (276) saying, “You yourselves should make the effort,
the Tathagatas only show the way.” Verse (183) gives us the teaching of
the Buddhas. It says, “Do no evil, cultivate merit, purify one’s mind;
this is the teaching of the Buddhas.”

सर्वात जास्त ओळखले आहे. डॉ. वालपोला राहुलानेही धम्मपादाकडून काही
निवडलेल्या श्लोकांचे भाषांतर केले आहे आणि त्यांच्या “व्हॉट द बुद्ध
शिकवलेल्या” पुस्तकाच्या शेवटी ते सुधारित आवृत्तीचे भाषांतर केले आहेत.
चिनी लोकांनी धम्मपदाचे संस्कृतमधून भाषांतर केले. १787878 मध्ये
धम्मपदाच्या चिनी आवृत्तीचे इंग्रजीमध्ये सॅम्युअल बील (बौद्ध कॅनॉनमधील
ग्रंथ) यांनी इंग्रजीमध्ये भाषांतर केले.
बर्मामध्ये, बर्मीमध्ये भाषांतर केले गेले आहे, मुख्यत: गद्यात, काही
श्लोकांशी संबंधित कथांचे स्पष्टीकरण आणि परिच्छेदन असलेले काही. अलिकडच्या
वर्षांत, पाली श्लोकांसह बर्मी आणि इंग्रजी भाषांतरांसह धम्मपदावरील काही
पुस्तके देखील प्रकाशित केली गेली आहेत.
धम्मपाद हे सुट्टंता पितकाच्या खुद्दाका निकयाचे दुसरे पुस्तक आहे,
ज्यात विविध प्रमुखांच्या खाली असलेल्या छत्तीस अध्यायांमधील चारशे तेवीस
श्लोक आहेत. धम्मपदामध्ये बुद्धांच्या शिकवणीचे मूलभूत तत्त्वे तयार केली
जातात.
श्लोक (२१) जो “अपॅमाडो अमतापादम” ने सुरू होतो “म्हणजे” मानसिकता हा
निबानाचा मार्ग आहे, “हा एक अतिशय महत्वाचा आणि महत्त्वपूर्ण श्लोक आहे.
मानसिकता हा शांतता आणि अंतर्दृष्टी ध्यानात सर्वात महत्वाचा घटक आहे.
बुद्ध यांचे निधन होण्यापूर्वीच शेवटचे उपदेश देखील लक्षात ठेवून आणि
प्रयत्नशीलतेने प्रयत्न करणे होते (मॅग्गा आणि फालाद्वारे पुनर्जन्माच्या
फेरीपासून स्वातंत्र्य मिळविण्याचे कार्य पूर्ण करण्यासाठी). हे
सर्वसाधारणपणे मान्य केले जाते की या श्लोकामुळे या श्लोकामुळे भारताचा
सम्राट असोका आणि बर्माचा राजा अनवरहता बौद्ध धर्मात रूपांतरित झाला.
दोन्ही राजांनी त्यांच्या संबंधित देशांमध्ये बौद्ध धर्माच्या प्रसारात
मोठ्या प्रमाणात मदत केली होती.
श्लोकात (२)) बुद्धांनी तातडीच्या भावनेने माइंडफुलनेसची मागणी केली
आहे. हा श्लोक चालला आहे: “निष्काळजीपणाच्या, अत्यंत सावधगिरीने, अत्यंत
जागरूक, शहाणा माणूस रेस घोड्यासारखा प्रगती करतो आणि जेडला मागे ठेवतो.”
श्लोक (१) आणि (२) कममाच्या अपरिवर्तनीय कायद्याचे वर्णन करतात, ज्या
अंतर्गत प्रत्येक कृत्ये, चांगले किंवा वाईट, परत परत येतात. येथे, बुद्ध
आपल्या सर्व कृतींमध्ये मनाचे महत्त्व यावर जोर देतात आणि आपल्या कर्मे,
शब्द आणि विचारांच्या अपरिहार्य परिणामाबद्दल बोलतात.
श्लोक (१33) आणि (१44) हे उदात्त आणि तीव्र आनंदाचे अभिव्यक्ती आहेत
आणि बुद्धांनी त्याच्या ज्ञानाच्या क्षणी बोलले. हे दोन श्लोक आपल्याला
बुद्धांच्या सत्याच्या शोधाच्या कळसाचे ग्राफिक खाते देतात.
ते
आम्हाला बुद्धांना ‘घर बांधणारे’ शोधत आहेत, तृष्णा, संसारामध्ये वारंवार
जन्म घेण्याचे कारण शोधत आहेत. तृष्णापासून मुक्त झाल्यामुळे, त्याच्यासाठी
आणखी घरे (खंदस) तळमळीने बांधली जाणार नाहीत आणि यापुढे पुनर्जन्म होणार
नाही.
श्लोक (२77), (२88) आणि (२9)) हे देखील महत्त्वाचे आहेत कारण ते
आपल्याला कायमस्वरुपी, असमाधानकारक आणि सर्व कंडिशन केलेल्या गोष्टींच्या
स्वत: च्या स्वभावाविषयी सांगतात; हे फार महत्वाचे आहे की एखाद्याने सर्व
कंडिशन केलेल्या गोष्टींचे खरे स्वरूप लक्षात घेतले पाहिजे आणि खान्गाने
कंटाळले पाहिजे, कारण शुद्धतेचा हा मार्ग आहे.
मग बुद्ध आपल्याला पुनर्जन्माच्या फेरीपासून मुक्त होण्याचा मार्ग
दर्शवितो, म्हणजेच, श्लोकात आठ घटक (अटांगिको मॅग्गो) (२33) मध्ये मार्ग.
पुढे, बुद्धांनी आम्हाला (२66) श्लोकात स्वतःचे प्रयत्न करण्यास उद्युक्त
केले की, “तुम्ही स्वतः प्रयत्न केले पाहिजेत, तथगात फक्त मार्ग दाखवतात.”
श्लोक (183) आपल्याला बुद्धांची शिकवण देते. ते म्हणतात, “कोणतीही वाईट
गोष्ट करू नका, गुणवत्तेची लागवड करा, एखाद्याचे मन शुद्ध करा; ही
बुद्धांची शिकवण आहे.”
श्लोकात
(२)) बुद्ध आपल्याला जीवनात यशस्वी होण्याचा मार्ग दाखवतात, अशा प्रकारे:
“जर एखादी व्यक्ती ऊर्जावान, सावध, विचार, शब्द आणि कृत्याने शुद्ध असेल तर
जर त्याने काळजी आणि विचाराने सर्व काही केले तर त्याच्या इंद्रियांना
प्रतिबंधित करते; धम्मानुसार जगणे आणि ते निर्विकार नाही, तर मग त्या
मनाच्या व्यक्तीची कीर्ती आणि भविष्य वाढते. “
धम्मपादामध्ये सापडलेल्या रत्नांची ही काही उदाहरणे आहेत. धम्मपादा खरंच एक तत्वज्ञानी, मार्गदर्शक आणि सर्वांचे मित्र आहे.
श्लोकांचे हे भाषांतर पालीपासून इंग्रजीमध्ये आहे. सहाव्या
आंतरराष्ट्रीय बौद्ध सायनॉडने मंजूर केलेला धम्मपाद पाली वापरलेला पाली
मजकूर आहे. आम्ही अनुवाद शक्य तितक्या मजकूराच्या जवळ करण्याचा प्रयत्न
केला आहे, परंतु काहीवेळा पाली शब्दाशी संबंधित इंग्रजी शब्द शोधणे फार
कठीण आहे, अशक्य नसल्यास. उदाहरणार्थ, आम्हाला अद्याप एकच इंग्रजी शब्द
सापडला नाही जो चार उदात्त सत्यांच्या प्रदर्शनात वापरल्या जाणार्या
“दुस्का” या शब्दाचा खरा अर्थ सांगू शकतो. या भाषांतरात, जिथे जिथे
“दुस्का” हा शब्द चार उदात्त सत्यांप्रमाणेच अर्थपूर्ण आहे, तो अप्रशिक्षित
राहिला आहे; पण फक्त स्पष्ट केले.
जेव्हा श्लोकांच्या धम्म संकल्पनेच्या स्पष्टीकरणात किंवा शाब्दिक
अर्थ अस्पष्ट किंवा बिनधास्त असतो तेव्हा आम्ही शंका घेतल्यास, आम्ही भाष्य
(पालीमध्ये) आणि न्युन्गलबिन सयादाव यांनी केलेल्या समालोचनाचा उल्लेख
केला आहे, जो एक अतिशय शिकलेला आहे. थेरा. बर्याच प्रसंगी आम्ही धम्म (धम्मकारियस) च्या शिक्षकांचा सल्ला घेतला आहे.
याव्यतिरिक्त आम्ही धम्मपादाच्या बर्मी भाषांतरांचा सल्लाही घेतला
आहे, विशेषत: युनियन बुद्ध ससाना कौन्सिलच्या भाषांतर, राजाजा सयादाव
(१5०5-१-1876)) यांनी भाषांतर, किंग मिंडन आणि किंग थिबॉ यांच्या काळात
अग्रगण्य महा थेर बर्मा पितका असोसिएशनचे सयादाव यू थिटिला, ओव्हडॅकरीया
महा थेराचे भाषांतर. संगज सयादाव यांच्या पुस्तकात धम्मपदांच्या कथांचे
परिच्छेद आणि संक्षिप्त रूप देखील समाविष्ट आहे.
धम्मपादा कथा
धम्मपदाच्या कथांचे सारांश पुस्तकाच्या दुसर्या
भागात दिले गेले आहेत कारण सामान्यत: असे मानले जाते की बुद्धघोसा
(century व्या शतकातील एडी) यांनी लिहिलेले धम्मपादाचे भाष्य धम्मपादाच्या
चांगल्या प्रकारे समजून घेण्यासाठी एक मोठी मदत आहे. भाष्यात तीनशे पाच कथा
समाविष्ट केल्या आहेत. कथांमध्ये नमूद केलेल्या बर्याच घटना बुद्धांच्या आयुष्यात घडल्या. काही कथांमध्ये, मागील काही अस्तित्वांबद्दल काही तथ्य देखील परत केले गेले.
कथांचे सारांश लिहिताना आम्ही भाष्य भाषांतर करण्याचा प्रयत्न केला
नाही. आम्ही कथांच्या तथ्ये सहजपणे काढल्या आहेत आणि त्या थोडक्यात पुन्हा
लिहिल्या आहेत: प्रत्येक कथेच्या शेवटी श्लोकांचे भाषांतर दिले जाते.
आता फक्त माझ्यासाठीच हेच आहे की आता फक्त माझ्यासाठी हेच आहे.

தம்மத்தின் பரிசாக, இலவச விநியோகத்திற்காக மட்டுமே மரியாதை.
முன்னுரை
தம்மபாதா பிடகாவின் சிறந்த புத்தகங்களில் ஒன்றாகும். இது தெளிவான,
தெளிவான வசனங்களில் வெளிப்படுத்தப்பட்ட புத்தரின் போதனைகளின் தொகுப்பாகும்.
இந்த வசனங்கள் புத்தர் வழங்கிய பல்வேறு சொற்பொழிவுகளிலிருந்து
நாற்பத்தைந்து ஆண்டுகளில் அவரது போதனையின் போது, அவர் கங்கை பள்ளத்தாக்கு
(கங்கா) மற்றும் இமயமலையின் துணை மவுண்டன் பாதையில் பயணம் செய்தார். இந்த
வசனங்கள் பெரும்பாலும் கடுமையானவை, நகைச்சுவையானவை மற்றும் உறுதியானவை.
உருவகங்கள் பயன்படுத்தப்படும்போதெல்லாம், அவை ஒரு குழந்தையால் கூட எளிதில்
புரிந்து கொள்ளப்படுகின்றன, எ.கா., வண்டியின் சக்கரம், ஒரு மனிதனின் நிழல்,
ஆழமான குளம், பூக்கள். இந்த வசனங்களின் மூலம், புத்தர் ஒருவருக்கு எல்லா
வெற்றிகளிலும் மிகப் பெரிய வெற்றியை அடைய அறிவுறுத்துகிறார், சுயத்தை
கைப்பற்றுகிறார்; ஆர்வம், வெறுப்பு மற்றும் அறியாமை ஆகியவற்றின்
தீமைகளிலிருந்து தப்பிக்க; மற்றும் மறுபிறப்புகளின் சுற்றிலிருந்து
ஏங்குதல் மற்றும் சுதந்திரத்திலிருந்து சுதந்திரத்தை அடைய கடுமையாக
பாடுபடுவது. ஒவ்வொரு வசனத்திலும் ஒரு உண்மை (தம்மம்), ஒரு அறிவுரை, ஒரு
அறிவுரை உள்ளது.
தம்மபாதா வசனங்கள்
தம்மபாதா வசனங்கள் பெரும்பாலும் உலகின் பல நாடுகளில் பலரால் மேற்கோள்
காட்டப்படுகின்றன, மேலும் புத்தகம் பல மொழிகளில் மொழிபெயர்க்கப்பட்டுள்ளது.
ஆங்கிலத்தில் ஆரம்பகால மொழிபெயர்ப்புகளில் ஒன்று 1870 இல் மேக்ஸ்
முல்லரால் செய்யப்பட்டது. அதைத் தொடர்ந்து வரும் பிற மொழிபெயர்ப்புகள்
எஃப்.எல். 1921 ஆம் ஆண்டில் உட்வார்ட், 1920 இல் வாகிஸ்மரா மற்றும்
சாண்டர்ஸ் மற்றும் 1902 ஆம் ஆண்டில் ஏ.எல். எட்மண்ட்ஸ் (விசுவாசத்தின்
பாடல்கள்) ஆகியோரால். சமீபத்திய மொழிபெயர்ப்புகளில், நாரத மகாதேரா எழுதியது
மிகவும் பரவலாக அறியப்படுகிறது. டாக்டர் வால்போலா ராகுலா
தம்மபாதாவிலிருந்து தேர்ந்தெடுக்கப்பட்ட சில வசனங்களையும்
மொழிபெயர்த்துள்ளார், மேலும் தனது “புத்தர் கற்பித்தவர்,” திருத்தப்பட்ட
பதிப்பின் புத்தகத்தின் முடிவில் அவற்றைக் கொடுத்துள்ளார். சீனர்கள்
தம்மபாதாவை சமஸ்கிருதத்திலிருந்து மொழிபெயர்த்தனர். தம்மபாதாவின் சீன
பதிப்பு 1878 ஆம் ஆண்டில் சாமுவேல் பீல் (தம்மபாதா என்று அழைக்கப்படும் ப
Buddhist த்த நியதியின் நூல்கள்) ஆங்கிலத்தில் மொழிபெயர்க்கப்பட்டது.
பர்மாவில், மொழிபெயர்ப்புகள் பர்மியர்களாக மாற்றப்பட்டுள்ளன,
பெரும்பாலும் உரைநடை, சில பொழிப்புரைகள், விளக்கங்கள் மற்றும் வசனங்கள்
தொடர்பான கதைகளின் சுருக்கங்கள். சமீபத்திய ஆண்டுகளில், தம்மபாதா பற்றிய
சில புத்தகங்களும் பர்மிய மற்றும் ஆங்கில மொழிபெயர்ப்புகளுடன், பாலி
வசனங்களுடன் சேர்ந்து வெளியிடப்பட்டுள்ளன.
தம்மபாதா என்பது சுட்டான்டா பிடகாவின் குடகா நிகாயாவின் இரண்டாவது
புத்தகம், இது இருபத்தி ஆறு அத்தியாயங்களில் பல்வேறு தலைகளின் கீழ் ஏற்பாடு
செய்யப்பட்டுள்ளது. தம்மபாதாவில் புத்தரின் போதனையின் அடிப்படைக்
கொள்கைகள் உள்ளன.
“அப்பாமாடோ அமதபாதம்” உடன் தொடங்கும் வசனம் (21) “நினைவாற்றல் என்பது
நிபானாவுக்கு வழி, மரணமற்றது” என்பது மிக முக்கியமான மற்றும்
குறிப்பிடத்தக்க வசனம். அமைதி மற்றும் நுண்ணறிவு தியானத்தில் மனம் மிக
முக்கியமான உறுப்பு. அவர் இறப்பதற்கு சற்று முன்பு புத்தரின் கடைசி
அறிவுரையும் கவனத்துடன் இருக்க வேண்டும், விடாமுயற்சியுடன் முயற்சி செய்ய
வேண்டும் (மாகா மற்றும் ஃபாலா வழியாக மறுபிறப்புகளின் சுற்றிலிருந்து
சுதந்திரத்தை அடைவதற்கான பணியை முடிக்க). இந்த வசனத்தின் காரணமாக,
இந்தியாவின் அசோகா மற்றும் பர்மாவின் மன்னர் அனவ்ராஹ்தா ஆகியோர் ப Buddhism
த்தமாக மாறியது என்பது இந்த வசனத்தின் காரணமாகவே பொதுவாக
ஏற்றுக்கொள்ளப்படுகிறது. இரு மன்னர்களும் அந்தந்த நாடுகளில் ப Buddhism த்த
மதத்தை பரப்புவதில் பெரிதும் உதவியிருந்தனர்.
வசனத்தில் (29) புத்தர் நினைவாற்றலுக்கான தனது அழைப்பை அவசர உணர்வோடு
இணைத்துள்ளார். வசனம் இயங்குகிறது: “அலட்சியமான, மயக்கமடைந்தவர்களிடையே
மிகுந்த கவனத்துடன், ஞானமுள்ளவர் ஒரு ரேஸ் குதிரையைப் போல முன்னேறுகிறார்,
ஜேட் பின்னால் விட்டுவிடுகிறார்.”
வசனங்கள் (1) மற்றும் (2) கம்மாவின் மாறாத சட்டத்தை விளக்குகின்றன,
அதன் கீழ் ஒவ்வொரு செயலும் நல்லது அல்லது கெட்டது, மீண்டும் செய்பவருக்கு
வரும். இங்கே, புத்தர் நம்முடைய எல்லா செயல்களிலும் மனதின்
முக்கியத்துவத்தை வலியுறுத்துகிறார், மேலும் நமது செயல்கள், சொற்கள்
மற்றும் எண்ணங்களின் தவிர்க்க முடியாத விளைவுகளைப் பற்றி பேசுகிறார்.
வசனங்கள் (153) மற்றும் (154) ஆகியவை அவரது அறிவொளியின் தருணத்தில்
புத்தர் கூறும் விழுமிய மற்றும் தீவிரமான மகிழ்ச்சியின் வெளிப்பாடுகள்.
இந்த இரண்டு வசனங்களும் புத்தரின் உண்மையைத் தேடுவதற்கான உச்சம் குறித்த
கிராஃபிக் கணக்கை நமக்குத் தருகின்றன.
சம்சாரத்தில்
மீண்டும் மீண்டும் பிறப்பதற்கான காரணம், புத்தர் ‘ஹவுஸ்-பில்டர்’,
ஏங்குதல், ஏங்குதல் பற்றி அவர்கள் எங்களிடம் கூறுகிறார்கள்.
ஏக்கத்திலிருந்து விடுபட்டு, அவருக்கு இனி வீடுகள் இல்லை (காந்தாக்கள்)
ஏங்குவதன் மூலம் கட்டப்பட மாட்டார்கள், மேலும் மறுபிறப்புகள் இருக்காது.
வசனங்கள் (277), (278) மற்றும் (279) ஆகியவை முக்கியமானவை, ஏனெனில்
அவை அனைத்து நிபந்தனைக்குட்பட்ட விஷயங்களின் அசாதாரண, திருப்தியற்ற மற்றும்
சுயமற்ற தன்மை பற்றி எங்களிடம் கூறுகின்றன; அனைத்து நிபந்தனைக்குட்பட்ட
விஷயங்களின் உண்மையான தன்மையையும் ஒருவர் உணர்ந்து காந்தாக்களுக்கு
சோர்வடைய வேண்டும் என்பது மிகவும் முக்கியம், ஏனென்றால் இது தூய்மைக்கான
பாதை.
மறுபிறப்பு சுற்றிலிருந்து விடுதலைக்கு வழிவகுக்கும் பாதையை புத்தர்
நமக்குக் காட்டுகிறார், அதாவது, வசனத்தில் (273) எட்டு தொகுதிகள்
(அட்டாங்கிகோ மாக்கோ) கொண்ட பாதை. மேலும், புத்தர் வசனத்தில் (276) எங்கள்
சொந்த முயற்சியை மேற்கொள்ளும்படி அறிவுறுத்துகிறார், “நீங்களே முயற்சி
செய்ய வேண்டும், ததகதர்கள் மட்டுமே வழியைக் காட்டுகிறார்கள்.” வசனம் (183)
புத்தர்களின் போதனையை நமக்குத் தருகிறது. அது கூறுகிறது, “எந்த தீமையும்
செய்யாதீர்கள், தகுதியை வளர்த்துக் கொள்ளுங்கள், ஒருவரின் மனதை
சுத்திகரிக்கவும்; இது புத்தர்களின் போதனை.”
வசனத்தில்
(24) புத்தர் வாழ்க்கையில் வெற்றிக்கான வழியைக் காட்டுகிறார், இவ்வாறு:
“ஒரு நபர் ஆற்றல் மிக்கவராகவும், கவனமாகவும், சிந்தனையிலும்,
வார்த்தையிலும், செயலிலும் தூய்மையானவராக இருந்தால், அவர் எல்லாவற்றையும்
கவனத்துடனும் பரிசீலிப்புடனும் செய்தால், அவரது உணர்வுகளைத் தடுக்கிறார்;
அவரைப் சம்பாதிக்கிறார் தம்மத்தின் படி வாழ்வது மற்றும் கவனக்குறைவாக
இல்லை, அப்படியானால், அந்த கவனமுள்ள நபரின் புகழ் மற்றும் அதிர்ஷ்டம்
அதிகரிக்கிறது. “
தம்மபாதாவில் காணப்படும் ரத்தினங்களின் சில எடுத்துக்காட்டுகள் இவை.
தம்மபாதா, உண்மையில், ஒரு தத்துவஞானி, வழிகாட்டி மற்றும் அனைவருக்கும்
நண்பர்.
வசனங்களின் இந்த மொழிபெயர்ப்பு பாலியில் இருந்து ஆங்கிலத்திற்கு
உள்ளது. பயன்படுத்தப்படும் பாலி உரை ஆறாவது சர்வதேச ப Buddhist த்த ஆயர்
ஒப்புதல் அளித்த தம்மபாதா பாலி ஆகும். மொழிபெயர்ப்பை முடிந்தவரை உரைக்கு
நெருக்கமாக்க முயற்சித்தோம், ஆனால் சில நேரங்களில் அது மிகவும் கடினம்,
சாத்தியமற்றது என்றால், ஒரு பாலி வார்த்தைக்கு சரியாக ஒத்திருக்கும் ஒரு
ஆங்கில வார்த்தையைக் கண்டுபிடிப்பது. எடுத்துக்காட்டாக, நான்கு உன்னத
உண்மைகளின் வெளிப்பாட்டில் பயன்படுத்தப்படும் “துக்கா” என்ற வார்த்தையின்
உண்மையான அர்த்தத்தை தெரிவிக்கக்கூடிய ஒரு ஆங்கில வார்த்தையை நாம் இன்னும்
கண்டுபிடிக்க முடியவில்லை. இந்த மொழிபெயர்ப்பில், “துக்கா” என்ற சொல்
நான்கு உன்னத உண்மைகளில் அதே பொருளைக் கொண்டிருக்கும் இடமெல்லாம், அது
மொழிபெயர்க்கப்படாமல் விடப்படுகிறது; ஆனால் மட்டுமே விளக்கினார்.
வசனங்களின் தம்மக் கருத்தின் விளக்கத்தில் ஏதேனும் சந்தேகம்
இருக்கும்போது அல்லது நேரடி பொருள் தெளிவற்றதாகவோ அல்லது புரியாததாகவோ
இருக்கும்போது, வர்ணனை (பாலியில்) மற்றும் வர்ணனையின் பர்மிய
மொழிபெயர்ப்பை நாங்கள் குறிப்பிட்டுள்ளோம் தேரா. பல சந்தர்ப்பங்களில்,
குழப்பமான சொற்கள் மற்றும் வாக்கியங்களை தெளிவுபடுத்துவதற்காக தம்மத்தின்
(தம்மகரியாஸ்) ஆசிரியர்களையும் நாங்கள் ஆலோசித்துள்ளோம்.
கூடுதலாக, தம்மபாதாவின் பர்மிய மொழிபெயர்ப்புகளையும், குறிப்பாக
தொழிற்சங்க புத்தர் சசனா கவுன்சிலின் மொழிபெயர்ப்பையும், சங்காஜா சயதவாவின்
மொழிபெயர்ப்பு (1805-1876), கிங் மிண்டோன் மற்றும் கிங் திபாவின்
காலத்தில் ஒரு முன்னணி மகா தேரா மொழிபெயர்ப்பு, மேலும் பர்மா பிடகா
சங்கத்தின் ஓவடகாரியா மகா தேரா சயதாவ் யு திட்டிலாவின் மொழிபெயர்ப்பு.
சங்காஜா சயதாவின் புத்தகத்தில் தம்மபாதா கதைகளின் பொழிப்புரைகள் மற்றும்
சுருக்கங்களும் அடங்கும்.
தம்மபாத கதைகள்
தம்மபாதா கதைகளின் சுருக்கங்கள் புத்தகத்தின் இரண்டாம் பாகத்தில்
கொடுக்கப்பட்டுள்ளன, ஏனெனில் புத்தகோசா (5 ஆம் நூற்றாண்டு ஏ.டி.) எழுதிய
தம்மபாத வர்ணனை தம்மபாதாவைப் பற்றி நன்கு புரிந்துகொள்ள ஒரு பெரிய
உதவியாகும் என்று பொதுவாக நம்பப்படுகிறது. வர்ணனையில் முந்நூற்று ஐந்து
கதைகள் சேர்க்கப்பட்டுள்ளன. கதைகளில் குறிப்பிடப்பட்டுள்ள பெரும்பாலான
சம்பவங்கள் புத்தரின் வாழ்நாளில் நடந்தன. சில கதைகளில், கடந்த கால
இருப்புக்களைப் பற்றிய சில உண்மைகளும் மீண்டும் இருந்தன.
கதைகளின் சுருக்கங்களை எழுதுவதில் வர்ணனையை மொழிபெயர்க்க
முயற்சிக்கவில்லை. கதைகளின் உண்மைகளை நாங்கள் வெறுமனே அழித்துவிட்டோம்,
அவற்றை சுருக்கமாக மீண்டும் எழுதியுள்ளோம்: ஒவ்வொரு கதையின் முடிவிலும்
வசனங்களின் மொழிபெயர்ப்பு கொடுக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது.
ஸ்கிரிப்ட் வழியாக உன்னிப்பாகச் சென்றதற்காக, தலையங்கக் குழுவின்
உறுப்பினர்களான பர்மா பிடகா அசோசியேஷனுக்கு எனது ஆழ்ந்த மற்றும் நேர்மையான
நன்றியை வெளிப்படுத்துவது இப்போது எனக்கு உள்ளது; சயகி தம்மகாரியா யு ஆங்
மோ மற்றும் வசனங்களை மொழிபெயர்ப்பதற்கு உதவியதற்காக பர்மா பிடகா
அசோசியேஷனின் ஆசிரியர் யு தெய்ன் ம ung ங் ஆகியோருக்கு.

Meditation
practice in the Theravada tradition ended in the 10th century, but was
reintroduced in Toungoo and Konbaung Burma in the 18th century,[3] based
on contemporary readings of the Satipaṭṭhāna sutta, the Visuddhimagga,
and other texts. A new tradition developed in the 19th and 20th
centuries, centering on bare insight in conjunction with samatha.[4] It
became of central importance in the 20th century Vipassanā movement[5]
as developed by Ledi Sayadaw and U Vimala and popularised by Mahasi
Sayadaw, V. R. Dhiravamsa, and S. N. Goenka.[6][7][8]
In
modern Theravada, the combination or disjunction of vipassanā and
samatha is a matter of dispute. While the Pali sutras hardly mention
vipassanā, describing it as a mental quality alongside with samatha
which develop in tandem and lead to liberation, the Abhidhamma Pitaka
and the commentaries describe samatha and vipassanā as two separate
meditation techniques. The Vipassanā movement favours vipassanā over
samatha, but critics point out that both are necessary elements of the
Buddhist training.
Vipassanā
or vipaśyanā, “insight,” is prajñā “insight into the true nature of
reality”, defined as anicca “impermanence”, dukkha “suffering,
unsatisfactoriness”, anattā “non-self”, the three marks of existence in
the Theravada tradition, and as śūnyatā “emptiness” and Buddha-nature in

According
to tradition, the Dhammapada’s verses were spoken by the Buddha on
various occasions. By distilling the complex models, theories,
rhetorical style and sheer volume of the Buddha’s teachings into
concise, crystalline verses, the Dhammapada makes the Buddhist way of
life available to anyone…In fact, it is possible that the very source
of the Dhammapada in third century B.C.E. is traceable to the need of
the early Buddhist communities in India to laicize the ascetic impetus
of the Buddha’s original words.” The text is part of the Khuddaka Nikaya
of the Sutta Pitaka, although over half of the verses exist in other
parts of the Pali Canon. A 4th or 5th century CE commentary attributed
to Buddhaghosa includes 305 stories which give context to the verses.

An “Appeal”
To The People of Karnataka for
Legislative Assembly Election – 2008
Kumari Mayawati
National President
Bahujan Samaj Party
Brothers and Sisters,
It is well known to every one the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) is the only party in the country, which “believes in doing rather than saying“.
It is for this reason that our party, unlike other parties, does not release any tempting “Election Manifestoes” and instead, issues “Appeal” to the people in general and voters in particular to ensure their vote and support for BSP in order to fulfill the remaining commitments for completing its missionary goal by adopting the path shown by Saints, Gurus and Mahapurush (Great men) born in different periods in the Bahujan Samaj like Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, Chatrapati Sahu Maharaj, Narayana Guru, Periyar Ramaswamy Ji, Baba Saheb Dr.Ambedkar and more recently Manyawar Shri Kanshi Ram ji.
This we do with an aim to earn good results for the party in the elections and to achieve power to rule so that with the help of the “Master Key of Political Power” we become master of our own destiny and could ensure work and proper welfare of the poor, deprived and downtrodden sections of the society belonging to all castes and religions i.e.”Sarv Samaj”. Param pujya Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar has beautifully and wonderfully explained about the significance of the “Master Key of the Political Power”, declaring that the political power is such a “Master Key” through which all problems can be solved and also doors of progress and prosperity can be opened up.
Following this principle of Babasaheb Dr.Ambedkar, our party is contesting, on its’ own strength, KARNATAKA Legislative Assembly General Elections-2008. The Karnataka Legislative Assembly has a total number of 224 seats and the BSP is contesting on almost all the seats on its own. BSP has not at all entered into any kind of alliance or seat adjustments with any other party in this election. So, we are fighting this election on all seats on our own.
But, the pertinent question which arises here is, as to why there is a necessity for the people of the State of Karnataka to cast their votes in favour of the BSP only, rather than voting for the Congress, B.J.P. or their supporting parties? We have to understand this issue very clearly for an outstanding performance. .
In this regard, I am of the view that BSP is the only Party in the country whose “Principles & Policies” and also its “style of functioning” suits very much the interests of the people belonging to “Sarv Samaj” (all sections of the society). On the other hand, other political parties make too many promises to people just before the elections or in the election year but they never translate them into reality for the true welfare of them, leaving most of their lofty electoral promises confined to papers only, rather than getting them implemented in practical terms.
It is for this very reason that, even after 60 years of independence, the “Social and Economic” condition of people belonging to Bahujan Samaj, which comprises of Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), Other Backward Class (OBCs) and Religious Minorities such as Sikhs, Muslims, Christians, Parsis and Buddhists have not significantly improved due to faulty economic policies adopted by various governments of castiest leaders of different political parties, even though the population of these sections of society is very large and for this reason , we call them as “Bahujan Samaj”.
Here, I am especially talking about their wrong and erratic economic policies, mainly because at the centre as well as in most of the States, Governments’ were formed with the monetary or otherwise help of big capitalist powers and for this very reason, these parties, after coming to power, as a “return gift” to them formulated their “Economic Policies” in subservience of these capitalists, fully ignoring the interests and welfare of general public.
Due to this kind of unjust behaviour of the governments of Congress, BJP and their supporting parties, the economic condition of people belonging to Bahujan Samaj as well as poor people of “Savarn Samaj” i.e. the upper castes is turning from bad to worse. The malice is still continuing, rendering more and more such people unemployed and live a life under the darkness of poverty.
In view of the complexity and seriousness of such kind of problems, these deprived and exploited sections of the people revolted in such a manner to form a separate political party of their own called as (the Bahujan Samaj Party-BSP) under the leadership of Manyawar Shri Kanshi Ram Ji on April, 1984, basing its ideology on policy and progrmmes of Great Baba sahib Dr. Ambedkar. And quiet obviously, with the massive support and cooperation of all the sections of the society, the BSP has acquired a “National Status” and has grown enough to be officially by the Election Commission of India as one of the main national political parties of India .
Not only this, our party also gradually expanded its mass base and graduated to send its representatives in Parliament, apart from winning assembly elections in various States of the Country. In Uttar Pradesh, which is the biggest State of India in terms of the size of the population, the BSP under the leader ship of mine had formed government four times. And all the four times, the governments of our party has worked with full devotion and dedication to provide “justice” to all, besides giving impetus and dynamism to the issue of ”Development” in the State.
Giving priority to weaker sections of the society in the process, with an aim to improve “Social and Economic” condition of the underprivileged sections of the society and poor people belonging to Sarv Samaj, our party Government in Uttar Pradesh, for the first time in the country, constituted separate “Welfare” Departments” in 1995 right at the inception of the first BSP government.
And the aspect of development were given new meaning when 25,000 villages, having predominantly Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa i.e. the Great Prabuddha Bharath (SC/STs) population, were selected for “Dr.Ambedkar Village Development Scheme” to develop them fully with all kind of basic amenities and infrastructure facilities. The process is going on and gradually all the villages of the State will be taken for such kind of developmental activities all over the State, surely changing the very face and of course the life of the rural poor in real terms. Presently, however, the name of this scheme has been changed as “Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar U.P. Gramsabha Samagra Vikas Yojana (Gramsabha Integrated Development Scheme.)”.
Similarly, an ambitious “Urban Integrated Development Scheme” has been formulated in the name of “Manyawar Shri Kanshi Ram Ji”. Under this scheme, small towns and cities of Uttar Pradesh are being developed in a systematic manner and within time bound period. But under both these schemes, all the activities are being speeded up as much as the economic condition of the State allows. These developmental activities could well get further momentum and much speed if the Central Government fulfills its obligations of providing funds for the purpose.
Apart of this, priority has been accorded especially to Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa i.e. The Great Prabuddha Bharath (SC/STs) and other exploited sections of the “Sarv Samaj” in all other developmental activities. The homeless and poor people were allotted vacant land, besides possession has also been ensured to landless poor for the purpose of farming/agriculture on that land. About 20 lakh poor people have so far been benefited from this decision of the government in the State, and this work is still continuously in progress.
In addition, my government has taken an unprecedented and historic decision to provide with more than one lakh permanent government jobs in rural areas for the Valmiki community of Scheduled Castes. By this decision, all the 1.08 lakh revenue village of Uttar Pradesh will have at least one Sarkari Safai Karmachari, and the person appointed will be from the same village in most of the cases… This besides meeting employment problem will also make a sea change in the health atmosphere of rural areas for it will ensure cleanliness and help eradicate diseases spreading due to unhygienic conditions.
And, so far the issue of giving boost to education is concerned, the government of our party, for the first time in the country, took a policy decision to grant scholarship to the children of persons belonging to poor Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and also to poor children of Other Backward Classes and Religious Minorities, especially to the poor children belonging to Muslim community.
The scholarship amount has also been doubled in view of the rising inflation and cost of living; besides that the amount of scholarship is being distributed to students immediately after their admission. Our government also arranged free coaching to ensure their admissions in the prestigious institutions and for high-grade prestigious jobs like IAS, IPS. PCS etc.
Along with the above facilities, for the first time in the State, 25% of the State budget has been allocated separately for the welfare and development of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in the State.
Besides, in order to infuse the sense of security among the people belonging to Bahujan Samaj, a policy of reservation has been introduced for the first time in the postings at the police stations in each and every district. Under the new provision, police officers belonging to SC/STs, for the first time in the country, will be getting 25 percent of such posts of police station will go to the people belonging to OBCs and 5 percent to officers from Religious Minorities (Muslims) in all the districts of the State. This system of governance is still continuing in the State with a slight modification.
And especially, full care has been made towards protecting, in all spheres of life, the interests and welfare of the Muslims, which is the largest section of Religious Minorities in the State. Apart from their economic development, the safety and security of their lives and Religion has also been fully ensured. In addition, our government was first in the country ensuring government jobs to economically weaker Muslims by including them in category of other Backward Classes (OBCs) and issuing government order facilitating release of caste certificates accordingly.
“New Positive Reservation Initiatives”
In The Interest of Sarv Samaj
You know very well that “where there is will, there is way.” That is why for the first time in the country, the BSP government of Uttar Pradesh has taken “ New Positive Reservation Initiatives”
In The Interest of Sarv Samaj
i.e. Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes (OBC), Religious Minorities and Upper caste, for it is more thanevident that the benefit of reservation, which was provided on account of the untiring efforts of Param Pujya Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimarao Ambedkar, to the Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs) and Other Backward Castes (OBCs) in the Government jobs under the Constitution of India, was not reaching fully to the dire needy people because of anti-reservation attitude of the Congress, BJP and their supporting parties.
Not only this, various Government Departments and Institutions are being handed over to the Private Sectors for the past several years on the pretext of poor economiccondition of the government, without ensuring provision of the same kind of reservation in the privatised firm/sector at any level. And, if this current state of affairs/practice of handing over the government departments and Institutions to Private Sector continues, a day will come when the constitutional facility of reservation will cease to exist.
Taking this issue of great importance very seriously, the Government of my party in Uttar Pradesh wrote several letters to the Government of India and requested that before the privatization of various Government and public sector institutions, the same quantum of reservation for those sections of society should be ensured as they were already getting in the Government sector and institutions. But no Government of any party has so far acceded to our contention and our party is “seriously concerned” and “worried” about this issue.
But the people belonging to Scheduled Castes (SCs) & Schedule Tribes (STs) and Other Backward Classes (OBCs) will be happy to know that throughout the country, it is only the Government of my party, the BSP in Uttar Pradesh which was fulfilled these tasks, which are as follows:
· Public-Private- Partnership (P.P.P.) is the main component of “all inclusive” realistic and practical economic policy of my government in Uttar Pradesh.
· All the Schemes/projects/ industries with partnership with state government, the State Government would have a maximum partnership of 49 percent of 11 percent.
· The provision of job reservation in enterprises developed on Public-Private Partnership model will continue in the proportion and manner as the State Government has been providing quota which is in the government jobs 21 percent for Scheduled Castes, 02 percent for Scheduled Tribes and 27 percent for Other Backward Classes.
· The interests of employees will be fully safeguarded in the projects/enterprise s established under PPP model.
· Now along with this, the Uttar Pradesh Government of my party has applied the policy of “Sarvjan Hitai –Sarvjan Sukhai” (Progress and Prosperity for all) also in the area of the reservation. In pursuance of this policy, our government has taken historical initiative to provide the benefits of reservation to all the poor and needy people belonging to all castes and the implementation of this new system has already been taken up in the right earnest in Uttar Pradesh. This step has been taken for the first time in the country.
· Under it, if the services rendered by the Govt. Departments, Corporations, Authorities, Councils and other Semi-government institutions or the maintenance of their establishment are substituted by outsourcing, then the contract to be executed for the said purpose would include the provision of providing 21 percent of jobs created through this out sourcing to the persons of Scheduled Castes, 2 percent to the persons belonging to Scheduled Tribes and 27 percent to Other Backward Classes.
· In the Industrial Units, Educational Institutions, Infrastructure/ Service Sector Projects, Disinvested Units are being set up in which the private sector is provided land, subsidy, state aid or assets by the Government or any of its government departments, then as per the “voluntary” and “mutual agreement”, the employers have to provide 10 percent of the total jobs created in the projects to the persons of Scheduled Castes, 10 percent to Other Backward Classes, including Backwards of Religious Minorities and 10 percent to the economically weaker persons of the Upper Castes
· Over 30 thousand posts of backlog have so far been filled by my part’s government in Uttar Pradesh. Recruitment on remaining posts is in progress.
· Besides, it is to be clear in mind that the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (prevention of atrocities) Act, 1989, has been enacted by the Government of India, hence a central act, and no State Government can make any alternation in this Act nor repeal it. The State Government of Uttar Pradesh has ensured strict enforcement of this law.
· My Government has done everything possible regarding implementation of reservation policy.
· The Government of India has also been asked to fill the vacant posts in Government Services in accordance with the policy of reservation. The policy of reservation should be extended to private and other sectors and it should be included in the ninth Schedule of Constitution as a safeguard.
· We have also urged the Government of India to amend the Constitution for providing benefits of reservation to the people belonging to upper castes living below the poverty line. But, the attitude of the Congress and BJP and its supporting parties has been throughout negative.
· But for that matter, I would like to fully assure the people of upper castes that the day the government of our party come to power at the centre, they will be given the benefit of reservation, similar to the pattern which has been introduced by us in Uttar Pradesh and this will be done without their asking for it, and will also make all positive efforts for the eradication of their poverty and un-employment. And, you all know very well about the style of functioning of my party that whatever we say, we do the same. In other words, there is no difference in our party’s saying and doing.
· Besides, Adequate additional reservation should also be provided to such persons of Scheduled Castes who were converted to Muslim or Christian religion, but maintaining the present share of quota of prescribed reservation for the Scheduled Castes. For this, necessary amendment should be made in the Constitution to relax the total limit of 50 percent reservation as laid down by Hon. Supreme Court and this amendment will be included in the 9th schedule of the Constitution so that this arrangement becomes a permanent feature.
So far as the matter of providing Social Security to the people is concerned, my party’s government in Uttar Pradesh is very serious and sensitive over the issue… That is why immediately after assumption of power my government increased to double the amount of pension to old age persons and farmers from Rs.150 to Rs.300. And also the number of beneficiaries was raised to 24 lakh from 20 lakh, for which sum of Rs. 1410 crores has been earmarked in the budget.
Similarly, labourers , who belong to the poorest and weaker section of the society and mostly fall under the categoryof farming labour, were not being cared properly as they belong to unorganized sector, but my government has raised their daily remuneration wage to Rs.100 from a meager of Rs.58, which they were getting previously.
And, over the issue of plight of farmers and farming becoming less remunerative day by day and thereby ultimately affecting our self-reliance on food, my party is in full sympathy with the farming community. It is beyond any doubt that the governments of the Congress, the BJP and their supporting parties during their rule in the past 60 years have done a criminal act of ignoring farm and farmers. In the course of promotion of heavy industries, there was a criminal neglect of farm sectors and farmers’ requirements.
This is also a tragedy that in the course of developing heavy industries particularly in the tribal areas, where the native people were deprived even from the fourth class jobs, adding more burden on their life to ensure protection of the interests of tribals & farmers.
Besides, my government has taken a stand that the Self-esteem and Self-respect of the unemployed youth will not be ridiculed every month by providing them meager ‘unemployment allowance’. Instead, our party wants them to live with pride, as they would instead be provided permanent jobs, with the creation of job opportunities, for which Regional Rural Employment Centre will be established.
And education is another area that has been accorded top most priority by my government in Uttar Pradesh. It is with this reason a decision was taken without any delay to recruit 88,000 teachers to help improve the standards of education. The process of recruitment of such a large number teachers in just one go is on.
In addition of all these, my government has paid attention in according full respect and honour to Sants, Gurus and Mahapurush born in Bahujan Samaj at different period of times such as Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, Chatrapati Shahuji Maharaj, Narayana Guru, Periar Ramaswamy, Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar and more recently Manyawar Shri Kanshi Ram Ji. A number of new Districts, Universities, Memorials, Museums and other important public places and institutions have been named and erected in their name to perpetuate the memory of their hard-faught struggles.
And in this connection, you all know very well that no government, be it the government of the Congress, the BJP or their supporting parties, ever gave proper respect and regards to the Sants, Gurus and Mahapurush born in the Bahujan Samaj.
And regrettably, the castiest mentality of these political parties still persists. . The biggest proof of it is that the Congress party, ruling at the centre did not even declare one or two days holiday nor they ordered flying of national flag half mast in the mourning of Manyawar Shri Kanshi Ram Ji, the creator and founder of the BSP movement.. And the BJP and other opposition parties remained a mute spectator to all this.
In brief, the lesson to our people of all this happenings is that if the people belonging to Bahujan Samaj and those of Savarn Samaj (upper castes) living in your state of Karnataka want to create an atmosphere like that of Uttar Pradesh for leading a life full of self-esteem, respect and dignity, they will also have to capture the “Master Key of political power” in their hands by ensuring good results in the general election being held in your State.
Therefore keeping all these factual propositions in mind, I earnestly “APPEAL” to the supporters of the BSP to follow the above mentioned suggestions in order to make an all out effort to achieve party’s goal of capturing power in order to get rid of their poverty, helplessness, backwardness, unemployment, injustice and exploitation by making your own government in your State, following the true path shown to you by your messiah Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar on the basis of exercise of franchise based on the concept of “One Man-One Vote” given to you by Baba Saheb himself and thus fulfill the unfinished task of Manyawar Shri. Kanshi Ram Ji.
In other words, you should understand your Messiah’s message properly and utilize the right to vote wisely to help yourself so that you could form a government of your own party in your State which will in real terms help improve your socio-economic condition as well as of education, besides ensuring a civilized self-esteem life to you. In the meantime, this could be also help improve the economic condition of the Upper castes people.
But to create such an atmosphere in your State, you have to acquire the “Master Key of Political Power” in your hands, like people have done in the Stae of Uttar Pradesh and you will have show good result in the coming Assembly elections in your State. And to achieve this great goal of success in the assembly election, you will have to be cautious and alert from various nasty tricks and Saam-Daam-Dand- bhed like nefarious designs of the opposition parties during the elections, because these parties can go to any extent to damage our party.
And I want to warn you that these opposition parties will go all out and will make allefforts to sabotage the voting of Savarn Samaj inn favour of BSP and for this purpose , these parties will propagate our “Ideology and Principles” in a wrong, vicious and twisted manner among these sections of society.
Therefore, I consider it important to explain the ideology and principles of B.S.P. I would also like to clarify here that the ideology and principles of our party “are not against any caste or creed”. B.S.P. wants to change the unequal social order of this country based on “caste” and wants to establish here a “Samatamulak Samaj Vyavastha” ( A Social Order based on Equality), which is in the interest of this country and Sarv Samaj.
For this, we have to change the Jaatwadi (casteist)mentality of Savarn (High Castes) Hindus and on the basis of Samajik Bhaichara (Social Brotherhood) we have to take them also along with us and only then “Samtamulak Samaj Vyavastha” can be established in this country in accordance with the thinking of the architect of Indian Constitution, Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar and only after that Sarv Samaj will be unified and disparities or casteism in the society will be completely eradicated forever.
Along with this, they will get full opportunity to move in every walk of life. The members of our party should always remain cautious from different kind of rumours, which may be spread by opposition parties during elections.
Apart from the above, I also appeal to all of you – “Beware that your vote is invaluable. No vote should be allowed to be purchased. No vote should be allowed to be looted. No vote should be left out from being cast and no selfish person should misuse your vote on account of defrauding or misleading you in the name of caste, money, religion or emotions.
Hence, to save democracy you have to give power into hands of right person to safeguard the interests of your KARNATAKA State, so that you may formulate the policy of :Sarvajan Hitai – Sarvjan Sukhai” in all the areas and make the poor and unemployed persons of Bahujan Samaj and Savarn Samajhappy.”
In the end, keeping in view all the above mentioned observations, I “Appeal” to the supporters and well wishers of my party that you should not be misled by any alluring promises of Election Manifestoes of opposition parties and that you should follow the appeal of B.S.P. which is your own party, to make the candidates of B.S.P. victorious in the General Assembly Elections of KARNATAKA by pressing the button against “Elephant” (Haathi), the election symbol of B.S.P. I hope and expect that you will accept my “Appeal” and act accordingly.

The BJP gave prominence only to the rich and neglected the economically weaker sections !
Both parties receive funds from capitalists during elections !
They later frame policies suiting their needs but not favouring the poor after their selections !
Thereby not the earning of the workers !
But the prices rises !
Hence !
BSP wins !
For allotting three acres of land to each poor and landless !
Benefiting over 25 lakh families !
Filled all the backlog posts reserved for SC/STs and backward classes !
Constituted separate welfare departments for all backward communties !
for their social and economic advancement,to ensure that they receive all the government benefits !
Deprived of a right and De-Franchised

left out: Voters whose names were missing from the voters’ list, which prevented them from exercising their franchise, showing their identity cards during the repoll
at one of the booths in Bangalore on Monday.
The Election Commission is responsible for De-franchising large number people who were deprived of their right to vote as their names were missing from voter’s list.
Many of them those who had their photo identity cards also did not find their names in the voter’s list.
There was haste in conducting elections by the Election Commission without ensuring that all the eligible people in Karnataka were included in the voters list.
However Election Commission has to postpone the date for formation of the New Government and not on 28 th May 2008 as required by the Constitution.
With thousands of people not finding their names in the voters list, People must have the Right To Information on the exact percentage of names missing in the voter’s list.
Those who tried to include their names before 29-04-2008 had their acnowledgements. Yet their names were not found in the voters list.
Thousands of people stood in scroching sun to get photo identity cards before the elections. But they could not get because of lack of proper infrastructure such as enough numbers of computers and staff who could either include peoples name in the voters list or provide them photo identity cards.
People must also have the Right To Information on the type of chip used in the Electronic Voting Machine with the source code for transparency.
In Reserved Constituencies, the Major Opposition Parties have encouraged False Caste Certificate holders as candidates.
When objected during scrutiny they were not rejected but accepted since the Tahsildars had issued them certificates and EC said that they were helpless and only the Courts can help them.
The Election Commission must have a mechanism to ensure that genuine SC/STs only contested elections in Reserved Constituencies.
Since the Chief Election Commissioner N Gopalaswamy on Thursday fixed the responsibility for preparation of error-free voters list, ahead of the election to Karnataka Assembly, on political parties, it is high time that the present Election Commission be scraped and an Election Committee representing all the Political Parties like various Parliamentary Committees be formed forthwith. And work out to see tha all the eligible people of India are included in the voter’s list. This must be made mandatory.
And no elections has to be conducted until all the peoples’ names are included in the voter’s list.
Till then the present election has to be scraped
for a Real Free and fair Election.

Supervising elections in the world’s largest democracy is by any standard an immense undertaking. Some 521 million people were eligible to vote in 1991.
Now the people of India must have the Right To Information from the Election Commission know as to how many million people were elegible to vote in 2009 and 2008 Karnataka Assembly elections. There is no official information on the exact number of people whose names are not found in the voter’s list.
We the people - these are the most important words in our constitution. Everything depends on us- the voters,who have an opportunity and the right to choose our representatives, demand accountability and determine the direction of growth and governance of the country. Several problems have surfaced in the gigantic task of conducting elections in < ?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = “urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags” />India and to ensure that elections are free and fair. With each passing election, the educated citizens of our country seem to have grown ignorant and apathetic about the electoral process and elections. The result has been a steady deterioration in the standards and practices of political parties reflected in rampant corruption and the reckless use of money and muscle power to win elections.
Active participation of citizens is an absolute prerequisite to make the electoral system more representative, fair, transparent and free from all the other ills. Eleanor Roosevelt once said: “nobody can hurt you without your consent” which in this context can be rephrased as “nobody can marginalise you without your cooperation
Chief Election Commissioner N Gopalaswamy on Thursday fixed the responsibility for preparation of error-free voters list, ahead of the election to Karnataka Assembly, on political parties. Speaking to reporters here, Mr Gopalaswamy said the political parties would be given two separate lists on February seven for deletion and additions to be made in the final list.
‘’They will be given two weeks time for raising objections to removing and adding names of the voters for the final list to be prepared on March ten,'’ he said.
‘’It will be the responsibility of the political parties to ensure the final list did not contain discrepancies any more as the EC has adopted a new mechanism for producing error-free list,'’ he said.
To a question on whether the elections would be postponed in case of a delay in the implementation of the report of Mr Justice Kuldeep Singh who headed Delimitation Commission, he said the EC did not work on the basis of ‘ifs and buts’ and as of now, it would conduct the elections before May 28.
‘’The Commission is concerned about the voter’s list as there are only additions and no deletions in the list.
‘’This is the reason I sent Deputy Election Commissioner R Bhattacharya, who is in charge for Karnataka, to oversee the whole exercise,'’ Mr Gopalaswamy said.
The EC would hold elections before May 28, as the state completes six months under President’s Rule on the date, he said.
In the draft list submitted by the State Election Commission (SEC) names of 3.48 lakh voters had been deleted while 9.27 lakh new voters had been added as of yesterday.
Mr Gopalaswamy and his Deputies Navin Chawla and S Y Qureshi have been here for the last two days reviewing the voters list and preparedness of the official machinery to hold elections, following the detection of large number of bogus voters in the voter’s list.
Earlier, Congress and the BJP submitted memorandum to the CEC urging him to provide error-free voters list and elections be held in the stipulated time.
He replied in the affirmative when asked whether he would take action against the officials for their ‘lapses’ in preparation of the voter’s list.
Voters list mess in poll-bound Karnataka
Bangalore, Jan 5 - A family with 90 voters and a town with 30,000 voters in a population of 36,500! These are just some of the glitches in the voters list in poll-bound Karnataka. R. Bhattacharya, deputy election commissioner at the Election Commission of India has been in Bangalore for the last three days having talks with state election officials on steps to ensure proper voters list ahead of polls to the 224-member assembly expected in April/May.
The irregularities in the voters list pointed out by people and political parties has forced the state election commission to cancel its plans to release the final list on Jan 10.
Bhattacharya met state chief electoral officer R. Ramaseshan, Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagar Palike (Greater Bangalore City Corporation) commissioner S. Subramanya and senior officials from several districts and told them of the Election Commission’s displeasure over the way the voters lists had been prepared.
The state officials now plan to revise the lists and publish them by the end of this month. They have sought the help of voters to point out anomalies.
Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president Mallikharjun Kharge Friday mentioned the instance of one family in north Karnataka having 90 voters on the list and of Humnabad town in Bidar district that has 30,000 voters in a population of 36,500.
More than 7,000 in the town are school-going children, yet there are 30,000 names in the voters list.
Another Congress leader H.K. Patil said there could be around four million bogus names in the voters list. Karnataka’s population is estimated at 55 million and voting population at around 42 million.
The two other main political parties, the Bharatiya Janata Party and Janata Dal-Secular also allege there are many irregularities in the list. The three parties have urged the state and central election officials to rectify the anomalies
Reforms could ensure more voter turnout
Research could throw up answers for poor poll percentage
Poll percentage could improve if the Government makes a ‘determined attempt’ to bring in reforms
‘Involvement of Resident Welfare Associations, NGOs and other concerned citizens would help’
MYSORE: The voter turnout in the second phase of the elections held in ten districts has been put at 60 per cent, which is a drop of six per cent from the first phase of polls. What could be the reason for voter apathy? Can reforms set right the apathy and ensure people turn out in large numbers to exercise their franchise?
Social activist Vasanthkumar Mysoormath, who conducted voter awareness movements in 1999, 2004 and 2008 elections (first phase), has echoed Deputy Commissioner and District Election Officer P. Manivannan’s reported view that research has to be conducted on poor poll percentage.
“It is high time that such an exercise is undertaken by the Government of India. A number of election reforms are long-pending before the Centre.
The Election Commission itself has forwarded some suggestions that are pending since many years now,” said Mr. Mysoormath, who was the presiding officer in more than 10 elections.
Mr. Mysoormath, who retired from the Indian Audit and Accounts Department, maintained that the poll percentage can be substantially improved if the Government makes a “determined attempt” to bring in reforms as recommended by the Election Commission and experts over the years.
He, too, had made certain suggestions for improving the poll percentage.
Missing names
Many eligible voters have been denied their right to vote because their names were missing, although they held Elector’s Photo Identity Cards (EPIC).
“Why should they keep running around in circles to obtain updated EPICs every time there is an election, only to be turned down because the revised rolls do not contain their names,” he asked.
The money and energy spent for enumeration and preparation of electoral rolls with the help of teachers and government officials has time and again failed to produce the required results.
This needs to be answered because public money is being splurged to prepare incorrect rolls and to deny the citizens their right to vote, he said.
Involvement
It is also time for the citizens to behave in a responsible manner and involve themselves at the grassroots level to help the EC set right the perennial problem, he said.
The three-tier system applicable to rural areas viz., zilla, taluk and gram panchayats, is absent in urban areas. To fill this gap, involvement of Resident Welfare Associations/ NGOs and other concerned citizens would help.
Better network
“Street committees with volunteers from the residents in a street are the need of the hour.
They, in turn, can coordinate with ward committees for enumeration and compilation of near-perfect electoral rolls and also for assessing the works and projects that need attention and for projecting their demands and grievances with the concerned service providers,” Mr. Mysoormath suggested.
Sensitising youth
The youth of the country has exhibited rank apathy due to their feeling that “politics is a dirty business”.
Many have expressed disgust over the behaviour of politicians in Parliament/Assemblies.
‘Not bothered’
“The youth have not bothered even to register themselves as voters because of the cumbersome procedure and running around to get an EPIC which nevertheless becomes useless by the next election. This attitude needs to be changed,” he said.
Political will
What the country needs is political will to bring necessary legislation through amendment to those rule books that govern elections.
“Countries like Turkey and Australia have compulsory voting and the turnout is about 90-plus per cent. What made those countries prescribe such a rule and how it is implemented may be studied and adopted in our country also,” he said.
Incentives
Can incentives attract voters?
Some incentive is bound to attract at least a percentage of people to stop being apathetic and cynical and proceed to vote.
“A system may be prescribed: those who vote may be given a certificate by the EC for claiming say one or two per cent reduction in their electricity bills or water bills or property tax for a certain period after an election. If the percentage of voting can be increased by spending a few crores, then it will be well worth trying,” said Mr. Mysoormath.
EC has failed to check flow of money
Election Commission has failed to check distribution of money and other articles among voters. Mine lords, members of land mafia and anti-social elements were controlling the elections, which a dangerous development in democracy.
Major political parties had no moral right to go before the electorate as they had forgotten the basic principles of politics.
four polling booths in Bellary alleged rigging during the second phase of Karnataka assembly elections.
Tribal organisations, demand, disqualification, of candidates
Adivasi Swayattategagi Rastriya Rangha (ASRR)
and Nagarahole Tribal Rights Samithi have urged the Election
Commission to disqualify three candidates contesting from H D Kote
(Reserve) Assembly Constituency for allegedly producing false caste
certificates.
According to a press note issued by Samithi Convenor P K Ramu,
the candidates Mr Chikkanna (Congress), Mr Chikkaveera Nayaka (BJP)
and (Mr Doddanayaka (JD-S) had contested the Assembly elections from
this reserved constituency for tribals and urged the Commission to
disqualify and file criminal cases against them.
Earlier, based on a complaint filed by the public, Deputy
Commissioner and District Election Officer P Manivannan had
suspended H D Kote Tahasildar T Vijya and ordered a departmental
inquiry against her for issuing S T certificate to BJP candidate
Chikkaveera Naika.
They alleged that all three candidates had tampered with the
school documents and produced the false caste certificates during
the time of the election process and contested from H D Kote.
The Assistant Commissioner of Hunsur Sub Division M R Ravi had
submitted a report to the district election officer alleging
tampering with the records by the three candidates to claim the
Scheduled Tribe status to contest the election.
In his report, Mr Ravi stated the Tahsildar of H D Kote had
issued controversial caste certificates without verifying the
original documents and failed to follow the procedures before
issuing them.
Meanwhile, Deputy Commissioner and District Election Officer
P Manivannan said the report had been sent to the Election
Commission for further action.
In Reserved Constituencies, the Major Opposition Parties have encouraged False Caste Certificate holders as candidates.May be to keep them under their control for not asking for any provisions of reservation.
In CV Raman Nagar Constitutncy similar action was not taken when objection was raised during scrutiny, they were not rejected but accepted since the Tahsildars had issued them certificates and EC said that they were helpless and only the Courts can help them.
Some political parties were involved in the bomb blast at Hubli court to gain political mileage during the election.
Polling in sensitive booths of Bellary City and Rural was slow, but peaceful on the whole except for an incident in Srirampur Colony (SC (Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath) Colony), where a voter, Shivaji an asthma patient was not permitted to vote as he had produced only the xerox copy of his ID card which was not accepted by the polling officer.
An altercation ensued and the Border Security Force (BSF), who could not understand Kannada manhandled the voter and pushed him out. A group of people gathered and the situation was tense for a while. However, special observer Raymond Peter arrived on the spot. The voter and the local people mobbed his car and represented the case. The situation was brought under control.
Such a huge number of contestants has made the officials organize for two electronic voting machines in each polling booth. Each EVM can display a maximum of 16 names. Both machines will be connected to a single controlling unit, according to B P Adnoor, Commissioner, Bellary City Corporation.
Will voters be confused as they will have to look for their choice of candidates in two EVMs?
“No. Each candidate has been allotted with a number and a symbol. Voters will have to know that number. But in case of national parties, voters go by the symbol. In 2004, two EVMs were used in each booth as elections to the Assembly and Lok Sabha were held simultaneously. A voter will have to spend a second or two just to read the symbols as there would be two EVMs,” he said.
A tour around Bellary city showed that none of the independents are campaigning. Even major political party leaders admit that no independent is serious about the elections. Then why do they pay Rs 5,000 as deposit and enter the fray? A senior Congress leader said, “Majority of the independent candidates are dummy. They contest and approach us (major parties) for money to withdraw their nominations. This time none withdrew their papers. Each candidate is allowed to use only four vehicles for campaigning. This EC restriction has come as a major hurdle for us to campaign. So, we have kept the vehicles of independent candidates at our disposal. Of course, we have their money. This is done in by all major parties. Many of the independents are fielded by national parties”.
Another challenge being faced by the officials is to weed out the bogus student ID cards. The EC has listed 20 types of identity cards which can be used for casting vote. A voter has to produce any one of these to exercise his franchise. Students are allowed to produce their college ID card.
In the first phase of polling, students were found producing fake ID cards. So, the EC has sent mails to all the DCs to check the veracity of students’ ID card. “We have held a meeting with the principals of all colleges in Bellary and have directed them to ensure that their colleges are not found issuing bogus cards. If fake cards are found, then principals of such colleges will face criminal action,” said Aravind Srivastv, Deputy Commissioner, Bellary.
Security
Giving protection to polling booths in Bellary city is also a major challenge to officials. Each booth will be monitored by para military personnel because each one of the total 211 polling booths in the city is branded as hypersensitive, said Srivastav.
As many as 7,244 government staff has been drawn for election duty on March 16. Of this, 1,811 are presiding officers.
In fact, no staff is allowed to work in their home town or village. They have been allotted postings on a random basis. Till May 15 morning, they would not know where they will be posted. All these measures are taken to see that fare and free elections are held in the district, added Mr Srivastav.
Rs 10 crore worth liquor, gifts seized
As many as 1,418 criminal cases have been booked under provisions of IPC and Peoples Representation Act, while 1,705 cases have been registered under the Excise Act and Rs 3.5 crore worth IMF liquor and spirit has been seized since April 1….
Around 120 cases of inducement to voters by giving various gifts have been booked while property worth Rs 7 crore worth property have been seized, Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) Shankar Bidari said here on Wednesday. Speaking to reporters he said 16,616 persons have been arrested since April 1 and bonds have been obtained from them for good behaviour.
He said as many as 56,000 police personnel will be deployed in the second phase of elections to be held for 66 constituencies on May 16. This includes 21,000 civil police, 10,000 Home Guards, 22,000 para military forces and 3,000 KSRP personnel.
a total of 214 Central Para Military Force (CPMF) companies have been allotted to 66 Assembly constituencies in 10 districts, that include 21 for Raichur, Koppal (15) Uttara Kannada (18), Bellary (31), Chitradurga (18), Davanagere (24), Shimoga (22), Udupi (18), Chikmagalur (20) and Dakshina Kannada (27).
One mobile squad will be provided for every 20 polling stations. Each mobile squad comprises one police sub-inspector, one head constable, three constables and one Home Guard.
In all, there will be 650 mobile squads for all constituencies, Bidari said.
The CPMF pickets with one head constable, four constables/two head constables and 10 PCs will be posted in sensitive areas. Each constituency will have a striking force consisting one platoon of KSRP, he informed.
Polling booths
Bidari said out of the 12,271 polling stations in phase two, 3,754 have been classified as hypersensitive and 4,282 have been considered as sensitive. For every hypersensitive and sensitive booth, two uniformed police personnel and for every normal booth, one police personnel will be deployed.
families, in implementing housing programme and maintaining law and order.
BJP failure
BJP like the Congress and JDS also had to bear the burden of anti-incumbency as it had failed to issue ration cards to BPL
Peter takes charge
Senior IAS officer Raymond Peter, who was appointed as a special observer to oversee polling process in Bellary district, where mine owners have locked horns in the second phase, took charge on Wednesday.
He held a meeting with returning officers, top police officials and commandant of central security to review the poll preparations and arrangements.
In the December 2006 byelection to the Chamundeshwari Assembly constituency, Peter was the election observer and was known for dealing any violation of poll code of conduct with an iron hand.
The appointment of Peter in Bellary takes significance following allegations that voters are being lured with cash by mine owners. All the 211 polling stations in Bellary City has been declared as hypersensitive
In several areas, voters protested deletion of their names
Technical snags delaying and disrupting poll process for brief spells has been reported from several places.
Repolling in two polling stations
Electoral authorities on Sunday ordered repolling in two polling stations where elections were held during the first phase of Karnataka assembly polls
Repolling has been ordered at a polling station in Malleshwaram and another in Ramanagara following malfunctioning of EVMs there, Chief Electoral officer M N Vidyashankar told reporters.

Ashoka: Empire
Apart
from a few mentions in some Buddhist texts, Ashoka’s great empire was
all but forgotten, until in 1837 a young British administrator in
Calcutta managed decipher engravings on a range of mysterious stone
pillars that were scattered around India. These monumental stone pillars
were up to 80ft high, and some were found thousands of miles apart. In
what was the first example of writing in Indian history, the British
administrator discovered that the pillars were inscribed with advice
from Ashoka, on how to live a good life and with examples of what
Ashoka had achieved across his empire. These statements, or edicts, were
inscribed both on the stone pillars and also on large rocks, all across
the empire, in several different languages – even Greek.
The
pillars revealed clear evidence that this great ruler’s empire was not
due to vast armies and battles, but welfare. They provide evidence that
the king was the first (and only) whose conquest was not by force but by
the value of ideas and the welfare of the empire’s citizens – and the
cornerstone of this scheme to improve people’s lives was by planting
roadside trees.
Listed second on the list of 14 statements, or edicts, written on the monumental stones was:
“Along roads I have had wells dug and trees planted for the benefit of humans and animals”.
“Along
roads I have had banyan trees planted so that they can give shade to
animals and men, and I have had mango groves planted.”
It
is believed that state funds were used for the tree planting programme
along the roads, and to ensure that the projects were carried out
correctly, Ashoka would go on frequent tree inspection tours and he
expected his district officers to follow his example.
Today
it is unlikely that many, if any, trees from this time remain, to
confirm the scale of the tree planting. However, to have gone to the
trouble and expense of the stone pillars, and for tree planting to form a
key headline on them, we can reliably confer that roadside trees were a
key policy of the empire and that the level of the tree planting was
substantial. To give some comparison, this would be akin to modern
political parties putting street tree planting above policy pledges on
health services, the economy, education and housing. Likewise, it is
reasonable to assume the street trees must have been welcomed and would
have formed a highly valued aspect of citizens lives.
A
street tree is defined as a tree located next to or within a public
road. They provide a wide range of social, environmental and economic
benefits and managing them is a major undertaking and cost for local
authorities, with much political debate relating to their presence and
management. The definition of urban forestry involves the planned,
systematic and integrated management of these trees. Although we
wouldn’t easily recognise this environment as ‘urban’ by today’s
standards, these definitions perfectly fit what was undertaken over 2000
years ago. As well as his other achievements, Ashoka has to be credited
as developing arboriculture in India, he was the first, and possibly
only, person to devise and implement an empire-wide roadside tree
planting policy.
Ashoka
(/əˈʃoʊkə/; Brahmi: 𑀅𑀲𑁄𑀓, Asoka, IAST: Aśoka), also known as Ashoka
the Great, was an Indian emperor of the Maurya Dynasty, son of
Bindusara, who ruled almost all of the Indian subcontinent from c. 268
to 232 BCE. Ashoka promoted the spread of Buddhism across ancient Asia.
Considered by many to be one of India’s greatest emperors, Ashoka
expanded Chandragupta’s empire to reign over territory stretching from
present-day Afghanistan in the west to present-day Bangladesh in the
east. It covered the entire Indian subcontinent except for parts of
present-day Tamil Nadu. The empire’s capital was Pataliputra (in
Magadha, present-day Patna), with provincial capitals at Takshashila
(later Taxila) and Ujjain. Ashoka, after the war of Kalinga, got upset
with the bloodshed and vowed to never fight again. He patronized
Buddhism during his reign.
Ashoka
waged a particularly destructive war against the state of Kalinga
(modern Odisha), which he conquered in about 260 BCE. According to an
interpretation of his Edicts, he converted to Buddhism after witnessing
the mass deaths of the Kalinga War, which he had waged out of a desire
for conquest and which reportedly directly resulted in more than 100,000
deaths and 150,000 deportations.He is remembered for erecting the
Ashoka pillars and spreading his Edicts,for sending Buddhist monks to
Sri Lanka and Central Asia,and for establishing monuments marking
several significant sites in the life of Gautama Buddha.
Beyond
the Edicts of Ashoka, biographical information about him relies on
legends written centuries later, such as the 2nd-century CE Ashokavadana
(”Narrative of Ashoka”, a part of the Divyavadana), and in the Sri
Lankan text Mahavamsa (”Great Chronicle”). The emblem of the modern
Republic of India is an adaptation of the Lion Capital of Ashoka. His
Sanskrit name “Aśoka” means “painless, without sorrow” (the a privativum
and śoka, “pain, distress”). In his edicts, he is referred to as
Devānāmpriya (Pali Devānaṃpiya or “the Beloved of the Gods”), and
Priyadarśin or Priyadarshi (Pali Piyadasī or “He who regards everyone
with affection”). His fondness for a tree is the reason for his name
being connected to the “Ashoka tree” or Saraca asoca, and this is
referenced in the Ashokavadana.
In
The Outline of History (1920), H.G. Wells wrote, “Amidst the tens of
thousands of names of monarchs that crowd the columns of history, their
majesties and graciousnesses and serenities and royal highnesses and the
like, the name of Ashoka shines, and shines, almost alone, a star.”
Grow vegetables and fruit plants in pots to overcome hunger the worst kind of illness as said by the Awakened One. Like Ashoka the Great plant fruit bearing trees all over the world
Ashoka
(/əˈʃoʊkə/; Brahmi: 𑀅𑀲𑁄𑀓, Asoka,[5] IAST: Aśoka), also known as
Ashoka the Great, was an Indian emperor of the Maurya Dynasty, son of
Bindusara, who ruled almost all of the Indian subcontinent from c. 268
to 232 BCE.[6][7] Ashoka promoted the spread of Buddhism across

It
is commonly believed that street trees originated in the capital cities
of Europe in the 1500s. First in France, then Holland and then to
London and the rest of the continent. This European history of street
trees is rightly uncontested. However, there is compelling evidence of a
vast network of managed street trees, from over 2000 years ago. A
massive programme of tree planting and arboricultural management along
routes over many thousands of miles across India and South Asia. A
scheme that would surpass even the most ambitious of today’s tree
planting projects and one that can lay claim to the practice of
arboriculture beginning in India, over 1500 years before the first trees
were planted on the streets of Europe.
Ashoka
the Great reigned from 269 BC to 232 BC. He was the third emperor of
the Maurya dynasty and is now considered ancient India’s greatest ruler
and the key figure in spreading Buddhism across the globe. At the
greatest extent, his empire expanded into India’s central and southern
regions, along the Himalayas to the north, into Assam to the east, and
to the west into what is now Afghanistan, with his influence reaching as
far as Greece and North Africa.

AWAKenment happened, and the burial mound where the Buddha died

This is the famous original sandstone sculpted Lion Capital of Ashoka preserved at Sarnath Museum which was originally erected around 250 BCE atop an Ashoka Pillar at Sarnath. The angle from which this picture has been taken, minus the inverted bell-shaped lotus flower, has been adopted as the National Emblem of India showing the Horse on the left and the Bull on the right of the Ashoka Chakra in the circular base on which the four Indian lions

Lion instead. The wheel “Ashoka Chakra” from its base has been placed

An “Appeal”
To The People of Karnataka for
Legislative Assembly Election – 2008
Kumari Mayawati
National President
Bahujan Samaj Party
Brothers and Sisters,
It is well known to every one the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) is the only party in the country, which “believes in doing rather than saying“.
It is for this reason that our party, unlike other parties, does not release any tempting “Election Manifestoes” and instead, issues “Appeal” to the people in general and voters in particular to ensure their vote and support for BSP in order to fulfill the remaining commitments for completing its missionary goal by adopting the path shown by Saints, Gurus and Mahapurush (Great men) born in different periods in the Bahujan Samaj like Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, Chatrapati Sahu Maharaj, Narayana Guru, Periyar Ramaswamy Ji, Baba Saheb Dr.Ambedkar and more recently Manyawar Shri Kanshi Ram ji.
This we do with an aim to earn good results for the party in the elections and to achieve power to rule so that with the help of the “Master Key of Political Power” we become master of our own destiny and could ensure work and proper welfare of the poor, deprived and downtrodden sections of the society belonging to all castes and religions i.e.”Sarv Samaj”. Param pujya Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar has beautifully and wonderfully explained about the significance of the “Master Key of the Political Power”, declaring that the political power is such a “Master Key” through which all problems can be solved and also doors of progress and prosperity can be opened up.
Following this principle of Babasaheb Dr.Ambedkar, our party is contesting, on its’ own strength, KARNATAKA Legislative Assembly General Elections-2008. The Karnataka Legislative Assembly has a total number of 224 seats and the BSP is contesting on almost all the seats on its own. BSP has not at all entered into any kind of alliance or seat adjustments with any other party in this election. So, we are fighting this election on all seats on our own.
But, the pertinent question which arises here is, as to why there is a necessity for the people of the State of Karnataka to cast their votes in favour of the BSP only, rather than voting for the Congress, B.J.P. or their supporting parties? We have to understand this issue very clearly for an outstanding performance. .
In this regard, I am of the view that BSP is the only Party in the country whose “Principles & Policies” and also its “style of functioning” suits very much the interests of the people belonging to “Sarv Samaj” (all sections of the society). On the other hand, other political parties make too many promises to people just before the elections or in the election year but they never translate them into reality for the true welfare of them, leaving most of their lofty electoral promises confined to papers only, rather than getting them implemented in practical terms.
It is for this very reason that, even after 60 years of independence, the “Social and Economic” condition of people belonging to Bahujan Samaj, which comprises of Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), Other Backward Class (OBCs) and Religious Minorities such as Sikhs, Muslims, Christians, Parsis and Buddhists have not significantly improved due to faulty economic policies adopted by various governments of castiest leaders of different political parties, even though the population of these sections of society is very large and for this reason , we call them as “Bahujan Samaj”.
Here, I am especially talking about their wrong and erratic economic policies, mainly because at the centre as well as in most of the States, Governments’ were formed with the monetary or otherwise help of big capitalist powers and for this very reason, these parties, after coming to power, as a “return gift” to them formulated their “Economic Policies” in subservience of these capitalists, fully ignoring the interests and welfare of general public.
Due to this kind of unjust behaviour of the governments of Congress, BJP and their supporting parties, the economic condition of people belonging to Bahujan Samaj as well as poor people of “Savarn Samaj” i.e. the upper castes is turning from bad to worse. The malice is still continuing, rendering more and more such people unemployed and live a life under the darkness of poverty.
In view of the complexity and seriousness of such kind of problems, these deprived and exploited sections of the people revolted in such a manner to form a separate political party of their own called as (the Bahujan Samaj Party-BSP) under the leadership of Manyawar Shri Kanshi Ram Ji on April, 1984, basing its ideology on policy and progrmmes of Great Baba sahib Dr. Ambedkar. And quiet obviously, with the massive support and cooperation of all the sections of the society, the BSP has acquired a “National Status” and has grown enough to be officially by the Election Commission of India as one of the main national political parties of India .
Not only this, our party also gradually expanded its mass base and graduated to send its representatives in Parliament, apart from winning assembly elections in various States of the Country. In Uttar Pradesh, which is the biggest State of India in terms of the size of the population, the BSP under the leader ship of mine had formed government four times. And all the four times, the governments of our party has worked with full devotion and dedication to provide “justice” to all, besides giving impetus and dynamism to the issue of ”Development” in the State.
Giving priority to weaker sections of the society in the process, with an aim to improve “Social and Economic” condition of the underprivileged sections of the society and poor people belonging to Sarv Samaj, our party Government in Uttar Pradesh, for the first time in the country, constituted separate “Welfare” Departments” in 1995 right at the inception of the first BSP government.
And the aspect of development were given new meaning when 25,000 villages, having predominantly Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa i.e. the Great Prabuddha Bharath (SC/STs) population, were selected for “Dr.Ambedkar Village Development Scheme” to develop them fully with all kind of basic amenities and infrastructure facilities. The process is going on and gradually all the villages of the State will be taken for such kind of developmental activities all over the State, surely changing the very face and of course the life of the rural poor in real terms. Presently, however, the name of this scheme has been changed as “Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar U.P. Gramsabha Samagra Vikas Yojana (Gramsabha Integrated Development Scheme.)”.
Similarly, an ambitious “Urban Integrated Development Scheme” has been formulated in the name of “Manyawar Shri Kanshi Ram Ji”. Under this scheme, small towns and cities of Uttar Pradesh are being developed in a systematic manner and within time bound period. But under both these schemes, all the activities are being speeded up as much as the economic condition of the State allows. These developmental activities could well get further momentum and much speed if the Central Government fulfills its obligations of providing funds for the purpose.
Apart of this, priority has been accorded especially to Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa i.e. The Great Prabuddha Bharath (SC/STs) and other exploited sections of the “Sarv Samaj” in all other developmental activities. The homeless and poor people were allotted vacant land, besides possession has also been ensured to landless poor for the purpose of farming/agriculture on that land. About 20 lakh poor people have so far been benefited from this decision of the government in the State, and this work is still continuously in progress.
In addition, my government has taken an unprecedented and historic decision to provide with more than one lakh permanent government jobs in rural areas for the Valmiki community of Scheduled Castes. By this decision, all the 1.08 lakh revenue village of Uttar Pradesh will have at least one Sarkari Safai Karmachari, and the person appointed will be from the same village in most of the cases… This besides meeting employment problem will also make a sea change in the health atmosphere of rural areas for it will ensure cleanliness and help eradicate diseases spreading due to unhygienic conditions.
And, so far the issue of giving boost to education is concerned, the government of our party, for the first time in the country, took a policy decision to grant scholarship to the children of persons belonging to poor Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and also to poor children of Other Backward Classes and Religious Minorities, especially to the poor children belonging to Muslim community.
The scholarship amount has also been doubled in view of the rising inflation and cost of living; besides that the amount of scholarship is being distributed to students immediately after their admission. Our government also arranged free coaching to ensure their admissions in the prestigious institutions and for high-grade prestigious jobs like IAS, IPS. PCS etc.
Along with the above facilities, for the first time in the State, 25% of the State budget has been allocated separately for the welfare and development of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in the State.
Besides, in order to infuse the sense of security among the people belonging to Bahujan Samaj, a policy of reservation has been introduced for the first time in the postings at the police stations in each and every district. Under the new provision, police officers belonging to SC/STs, for the first time in the country, will be getting 25 percent of such posts of police station will go to the people belonging to OBCs and 5 percent to officers from Religious Minorities (Muslims) in all the districts of the State. This system of governance is still continuing in the State with a slight modification.
And especially, full care has been made towards protecting, in all spheres of life, the interests and welfare of the Muslims, which is the largest section of Religious Minorities in the State. Apart from their economic development, the safety and security of their lives and Religion has also been fully ensured. In addition, our government was first in the country ensuring government jobs to economically weaker Muslims by including them in category of other Backward Classes (OBCs) and issuing government order facilitating release of caste certificates accordingly.
“New Positive Reservation Initiatives”
In The Interest of Sarv Samaj
You know very well that “where there is will, there is way.” That is why for the first time in the country, the BSP government of Uttar Pradesh has taken “ New Positive Reservation Initiatives”
In The Interest of Sarv Samaj
i.e. Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes (OBC), Religious Minorities and Upper caste, for it is more thanevident that the benefit of reservation, which was provided on account of the untiring efforts of Param Pujya Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimarao Ambedkar, to the Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs) and Other Backward Castes (OBCs) in the Government jobs under the Constitution of India, was not reaching fully to the dire needy people because of anti-reservation attitude of the Congress, BJP and their supporting parties.
Not only this, various Government Departments and Institutions are being handed over to the Private Sectors for the past several years on the pretext of poor economiccondition of the government, without ensuring provision of the same kind of reservation in the privatised firm/sector at any level. And, if this current state of affairs/practice of handing over the government departments and Institutions to Private Sector continues, a day will come when the constitutional facility of reservation will cease to exist.
Taking this issue of great importance very seriously, the Government of my party in Uttar Pradesh wrote several letters to the Government of India and requested that before the privatization of various Government and public sector institutions, the same quantum of reservation for those sections of society should be ensured as they were already getting in the Government sector and institutions. But no Government of any party has so far acceded to our contention and our party is “seriously concerned” and “worried” about this issue.
But the people belonging to Scheduled Castes (SCs) & Schedule Tribes (STs) and Other Backward Classes (OBCs) will be happy to know that throughout the country, it is only the Government of my party, the BSP in Uttar Pradesh which was fulfilled these tasks, which are as follows:
· Public-Private- Partnership (P.P.P.) is the main component of “all inclusive” realistic and practical economic policy of my government in Uttar Pradesh.
· All the Schemes/projects/ industries with partnership with state government, the State Government would have a maximum partnership of 49 percent of 11 percent.
· The provision of job reservation in enterprises developed on Public-Private Partnership model will continue in the proportion and manner as the State Government has been providing quota which is in the government jobs 21 percent for Scheduled Castes, 02 percent for Scheduled Tribes and 27 percent for Other Backward Classes.
· The interests of employees will be fully safeguarded in the projects/enterprise s established under PPP model.
· Now along with this, the Uttar Pradesh Government of my party has applied the policy of “Sarvjan Hitai –Sarvjan Sukhai” (Progress and Prosperity for all) also in the area of the reservation. In pursuance of this policy, our government has taken historical initiative to provide the benefits of reservation to all the poor and needy people belonging to all castes and the implementation of this new system has already been taken up in the right earnest in Uttar Pradesh. This step has been taken for the first time in the country.
· Under it, if the services rendered by the Govt. Departments, Corporations, Authorities, Councils and other Semi-government institutions or the maintenance of their establishment are substituted by outsourcing, then the contract to be executed for the said purpose would include the provision of providing 21 percent of jobs created through this out sourcing to the persons of Scheduled Castes, 2 percent to the persons belonging to Scheduled Tribes and 27 percent to Other Backward Classes.
· In the Industrial Units, Educational Institutions, Infrastructure/ Service Sector Projects, Disinvested Units are being set up in which the private sector is provided land, subsidy, state aid or assets by the Government or any of its government departments, then as per the “voluntary” and “mutual agreement”, the employers have to provide 10 percent of the total jobs created in the projects to the persons of Scheduled Castes, 10 percent to Other Backward Classes, including Backwards of Religious Minorities and 10 percent to the economically weaker persons of the Upper Castes
· Over 30 thousand posts of backlog have so far been filled by my part’s government in Uttar Pradesh. Recruitment on remaining posts is in progress.
· Besides, it is to be clear in mind that the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (prevention of atrocities) Act, 1989, has been enacted by the Government of India, hence a central act, and no State Government can make any alternation in this Act nor repeal it. The State Government of Uttar Pradesh has ensured strict enforcement of this law.
· My Government has done everything possible regarding implementation of reservation policy.
· The Government of India has also been asked to fill the vacant posts in Government Services in accordance with the policy of reservation. The policy of reservation should be extended to private and other sectors and it should be included in the ninth Schedule of Constitution as a safeguard.
· We have also urged the Government of India to amend the Constitution for providing benefits of reservation to the people belonging to upper castes living below the poverty line. But, the attitude of the Congress and BJP and its supporting parties has been throughout negative.
· But for that matter, I would like to fully assure the people of upper castes that the day the government of our party come to power at the centre, they will be given the benefit of reservation, similar to the pattern which has been introduced by us in Uttar Pradesh and this will be done without their asking for it, and will also make all positive efforts for the eradication of their poverty and un-employment. And, you all know very well about the style of functioning of my party that whatever we say, we do the same. In other words, there is no difference in our party’s saying and doing.
· Besides, Adequate additional reservation should also be provided to such persons of Scheduled Castes who were converted to Muslim or Christian religion, but maintaining the present share of quota of prescribed reservation for the Scheduled Castes. For this, necessary amendment should be made in the Constitution to relax the total limit of 50 percent reservation as laid down by Hon. Supreme Court and this amendment will be included in the 9th schedule of the Constitution so that this arrangement becomes a permanent feature.
So far as the matter of providing Social Security to the people is concerned, my party’s government in Uttar Pradesh is very serious and sensitive over the issue… That is why immediately after assumption of power my government increased to double the amount of pension to old age persons and farmers from Rs.150 to Rs.300. And also the number of beneficiaries was raised to 24 lakh from 20 lakh, for which sum of Rs. 1410 crores has been earmarked in the budget.
Similarly, labourers , who belong to the poorest and weaker section of the society and mostly fall under the categoryof farming labour, were not being cared properly as they belong to unorganized sector, but my government has raised their daily remuneration wage to Rs.100 from a meager of Rs.58, which they were getting previously.
And, over the issue of plight of farmers and farming becoming less remunerative day by day and thereby ultimately affecting our self-reliance on food, my party is in full sympathy with the farming community. It is beyond any doubt that the governments of the Congress, the BJP and their supporting parties during their rule in the past 60 years have done a criminal act of ignoring farm and farmers. In the course of promotion of heavy industries, there was a criminal neglect of farm sectors and farmers’ requirements.
This is also a tragedy that in the course of developing heavy industries particularly in the tribal areas, where the native people were deprived even from the fourth class jobs, adding more burden on their life to ensure protection of the interests of tribals & farmers.
Besides, my government has taken a stand that the Self-esteem and Self-respect of the unemployed youth will not be ridiculed every month by providing them meager ‘unemployment allowance’. Instead, our party wants them to live with pride, as they would instead be provided permanent jobs, with the creation of job opportunities, for which Regional Rural Employment Centre will be established.
And education is another area that has been accorded top most priority by my government in Uttar Pradesh. It is with this reason a decision was taken without any delay to recruit 88,000 teachers to help improve the standards of education. The process of recruitment of such a large number teachers in just one go is on.
In addition of all these, my government has paid attention in according full respect and honour to Sants, Gurus and Mahapurush born in Bahujan Samaj at different period of times such as Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, Chatrapati Shahuji Maharaj, Narayana Guru, Periar Ramaswamy, Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar and more recently Manyawar Shri Kanshi Ram Ji. A number of new Districts, Universities, Memorials, Museums and other important public places and institutions have been named and erected in their name to perpetuate the memory of their hard-faught struggles.
And in this connection, you all know very well that no government, be it the government of the Congress, the BJP or their supporting parties, ever gave proper respect and regards to the Sants, Gurus and Mahapurush born in the Bahujan Samaj.
And regrettably, the castiest mentality of these political parties still persists. . The biggest proof of it is that the Congress party, ruling at the centre did not even declare one or two days holiday nor they ordered flying of national flag half mast in the mourning of Manyawar Shri Kanshi Ram Ji, the creator and founder of the BSP movement.. And the BJP and other opposition parties remained a mute spectator to all this.
In brief, the lesson to our people of all this happenings is that if the people belonging to Bahujan Samaj and those of Savarn Samaj (upper castes) living in your state of Karnataka want to create an atmosphere like that of Uttar Pradesh for leading a life full of self-esteem, respect and dignity, they will also have to capture the “Master Key of political power” in their hands by ensuring good results in the general election being held in your State.
Therefore keeping all these factual propositions in mind, I earnestly “APPEAL” to the supporters of the BSP to follow the above mentioned suggestions in order to make an all out effort to achieve party’s goal of capturing power in order to get rid of their poverty, helplessness, backwardness, unemployment, injustice and exploitation by making your own government in your State, following the true path shown to you by your messiah Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar on the basis of exercise of franchise based on the concept of “One Man-One Vote” given to you by Baba Saheb himself and thus fulfill the unfinished task of Manyawar Shri. Kanshi Ram Ji.
In other words, you should understand your Messiah’s message properly and utilize the right to vote wisely to help yourself so that you could form a government of your own party in your State which will in real terms help improve your socio-economic condition as well as of education, besides ensuring a civilized self-esteem life to you. In the meantime, this could be also help improve the economic condition of the Upper castes people.
But to create such an atmosphere in your State, you have to acquire the “Master Key of Political Power” in your hands, like people have done in the Stae of Uttar Pradesh and you will have show good result in the coming Assembly elections in your State. And to achieve this great goal of success in the assembly election, you will have to be cautious and alert from various nasty tricks and Saam-Daam-Dand- bhed like nefarious designs of the opposition parties during the elections, because these parties can go to any extent to damage our party.
And I want to warn you that these opposition parties will go all out and will make allefforts to sabotage the voting of Savarn Samaj inn favour of BSP and for this purpose , these parties will propagate our “Ideology and Principles” in a wrong, vicious and twisted manner among these sections of society.
Therefore, I consider it important to explain the ideology and principles of B.S.P. I would also like to clarify here that the ideology and principles of our party “are not against any caste or creed”. B.S.P. wants to change the unequal social order of this country based on “caste” and wants to establish here a “Samatamulak Samaj Vyavastha” ( A Social Order based on Equality), which is in the interest of this country and Sarv Samaj.
For this, we have to change the Jaatwadi (casteist)mentality of Savarn (High Castes) Hindus and on the basis of Samajik Bhaichara (Social Brotherhood) we have to take them also along with us and only then “Samtamulak Samaj Vyavastha” can be established in this country in accordance with the thinking of the architect of Indian Constitution, Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar and only after that Sarv Samaj will be unified and disparities or casteism in the society will be completely eradicated forever.
Along with this, they will get full opportunity to move in every walk of life. The members of our party should always remain cautious from different kind of rumours, which may be spread by opposition parties during elections.
Apart from the above, I also appeal to all of you – “Beware that your vote is invaluable. No vote should be allowed to be purchased. No vote should be allowed to be looted. No vote should be left out from being cast and no selfish person should misuse your vote on account of defrauding or misleading you in the name of caste, money, religion or emotions.
Hence, to save democracy you have to give power into hands of right person to safeguard the interests of your KARNATAKA State, so that you may formulate the policy of :Sarvajan Hitai – Sarvjan Sukhai” in all the areas and make the poor and unemployed persons of Bahujan Samaj and Savarn Samajhappy.”
In the end, keeping in view all the above mentioned observations, I “Appeal” to the supporters and well wishers of my party that you should not be misled by any alluring promises of Election Manifestoes of opposition parties and that you should follow the appeal of B.S.P. which is your own party, to make the candidates of B.S.P. victorious in the General Assembly Elections of KARNATAKA by pressing the button against “Elephant” (Haathi), the election symbol of B.S.P. I hope and expect that you will accept my “Appeal” and act accordingly.

Deprived of a right and De-Franchised

left out: Voters whose names were missing from the voters’ list, which prevented them from exercising their franchise, showing their identity cards during the repoll
at one of the booths in Bangalore on Monday.
The Election Commission is responsible for De-franchising large number people who were deprived of their right to vote as their names were missing from voter’s list.
Many of them those who had their photo identity cards also did not find their names in the voter’s list.
There was haste in conducting elections by the Election Commission without ensuring that all the eligible people in Karnataka were included in the voters list.
However Election Commission has to postpone the date for formation of the New Government and not on 28 th May 2008 as required by the Constitution.
With thousands of people not finding their names in the voters list, People must have the Right To Information on the exact percentage of names missing in the voter’s list.
Those who tried to include their names before 29-04-2008 had their acnowledgements. Yet their names were not found in the voters list.
Thousands of people stood in scroching sun to get photo identity cards before the elections. But they could not get because of lack of proper infrastructure such as enough numbers of computers and staff who could either include peoples name in the voters list or provide them photo identity cards.
People must also have the Right To Information on the type of chip used in the Electronic Voting Machine with the source code for transparency.
In Reserved Constituencies, the Major Opposition Parties have encouraged False Caste Certificate holders as candidates.
When objected during scrutiny they were not rejected but accepted since the Tahsildars had issued them certificates and EC said that they were helpless and only the Courts can help them.
The Election Commission must have a mechanism to ensure that genuine SC/STs only contested elections in Reserved Constituencies.
Since the Chief Election Commissioner N Gopalaswamy on Thursday fixed the responsibility for preparation of error-free voters list, ahead of the election to Karnataka Assembly, on political parties, it is high time that the present Election Commission be scraped and an Election Committee representing all the Political Parties like various Parliamentary Committees be formed forthwith. And work out to see tha all the eligible people of India are included in the voter’s list. This must be made mandatory.
And no elections has to be conducted until all the peoples’ names are included in the voter’s list.
Till then the present election has to be scraped
for a Real Free and fair Election.
Election Commission India
Elections India : Article 324 of the constitution establishes an independent Election Commission to supervise parliamentary and state elections in India. Supervising elections in the world’s largest democracy is by any standard an immense undertaking. Some 521 million people were eligible to vote in 1991.
Now the people of India must have the Right To Information from the Election Commission know as to how many million people were elegible to vote in 2009 and 2008 Karnataka Assembly elections. There is no official information on the exact number of people whose names are not found in the voter’s list.
We the people - these are the most important words in our constitution. Everything depends on us- the voters,who have an opportunity and the right to choose our representatives, demand accountability and determine the direction of growth and governance of the country. Several problems have surfaced in the gigantic task of conducting elections in < ?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = “urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags” />India and to ensure that elections are free and fair. With each passing election, the educated citizens of our country seem to have grown ignorant and apathetic about the electoral process and elections. The result has been a steady deterioration in the standards and practices of political parties reflected in rampant corruption and the reckless use of money and muscle power to win elections.
Active participation of citizens is an absolute prerequisite to make the electoral system more representative, fair, transparent and free from all the other ills. Eleanor Roosevelt once said: “nobody can hurt you without your consent” which in this context can be rephrased as “nobody can marginalise you without your cooperation
Chief Election Commissioner N Gopalaswamy on Thursday fixed the responsibility for preparation of error-free voters list, ahead of the election to Karnataka Assembly, on political parties. Speaking to reporters here, Mr Gopalaswamy said the political parties would be given two separate lists on February seven for deletion and additions to be made in the final list.
‘’They will be given two weeks time for raising objections to removing and adding names of the voters for the final list to be prepared on March ten,'’ he said.
‘’It will be the responsibility of the political parties to ensure the final list did not contain discrepancies any more as the EC has adopted a new mechanism for producing error-free list,'’ he said.
To a question on whether the elections would be postponed in case of a delay in the implementation of the report of Mr Justice Kuldeep Singh who headed Delimitation Commission, he said the EC did not work on the basis of ‘ifs and buts’ and as of now, it would conduct the elections before May 28.
‘’The Commission is concerned about the voter’s list as there are only additions and no deletions in the list.
‘’This is the reason I sent Deputy Election Commissioner R Bhattacharya, who is in charge for Karnataka, to oversee the whole exercise,'’ Mr Gopalaswamy said.
The EC would hold elections before May 28, as the state completes six months under President’s Rule on the date, he said.
In the draft list submitted by the State Election Commission (SEC) names of 3.48 lakh voters had been deleted while 9.27 lakh new voters had been added as of yesterday.
Mr Gopalaswamy and his Deputies Navin Chawla and S Y Qureshi have been here for the last two days reviewing the voters list and preparedness of the official machinery to hold elections, following the detection of large number of bogus voters in the voter’s list.
Earlier, Congress and the BJP submitted memorandum to the CEC urging him to provide error-free voters list and elections be held in the stipulated time.
He replied in the affirmative when asked whether he would take action against the officials for their ‘lapses’ in preparation of the voter’s list.
Voters list mess in poll-bound Karnataka
Bangalore, Jan 5 - A family with 90 voters and a town with 30,000 voters in a population of 36,500! These are just some of the glitches in the voters list in poll-bound Karnataka. R. Bhattacharya, deputy election commissioner at the Election Commission of India has been in Bangalore for the last three days having talks with state election officials on steps to ensure proper voters list ahead of polls to the 224-member assembly expected in April/May.
The irregularities in the voters list pointed out by people and political parties has forced the state election commission to cancel its plans to release the final list on Jan 10.
Bhattacharya met state chief electoral officer R. Ramaseshan, Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagar Palike (Greater Bangalore City Corporation) commissioner S. Subramanya and senior officials from several districts and told them of the Election Commission’s displeasure over the way the voters lists had been prepared.
The state officials now plan to revise the lists and publish them by the end of this month. They have sought the help of voters to point out anomalies.
Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president Mallikharjun Kharge Friday mentioned the instance of one family in north Karnataka having 90 voters on the list and of Humnabad town in Bidar district that has 30,000 voters in a population of 36,500.
More than 7,000 in the town are school-going children, yet there are 30,000 names in the voters list.
Another Congress leader H.K. Patil said there could be around four million bogus names in the voters list. Karnataka’s population is estimated at 55 million and voting population at around 42 million.
The two other main political parties, the Bharatiya Janata Party and Janata Dal-Secular also allege there are many irregularities in the list. The three parties have urged the state and central election officials to rectify the anomalies
Reforms could ensure more voter turnout
Research could throw up answers for poor poll percentage
Poll percentage could improve if the Government makes a ‘determined attempt’ to bring in reforms
‘Involvement of Resident Welfare Associations, NGOs and other concerned citizens would help’
MYSORE: The voter turnout in the second phase of the elections held in ten districts has been put at 60 per cent, which is a drop of six per cent from the first phase of polls. What could be the reason for voter apathy? Can reforms set right the apathy and ensure people turn out in large numbers to exercise their franchise?
Social activist Vasanthkumar Mysoormath, who conducted voter awareness movements in 1999, 2004 and 2008 elections (first phase), has echoed Deputy Commissioner and District Election Officer P. Manivannan’s reported view that research has to be conducted on poor poll percentage.
“It is high time that such an exercise is undertaken by the Government of India. A number of election reforms are long-pending before the Centre.
The Election Commission itself has forwarded some suggestions that are pending since many years now,” said Mr. Mysoormath, who was the presiding officer in more than 10 elections.
Mr. Mysoormath, who retired from the Indian Audit and Accounts Department, maintained that the poll percentage can be substantially improved if the Government makes a “determined attempt” to bring in reforms as recommended by the Election Commission and experts over the years.
He, too, had made certain suggestions for improving the poll percentage.
Missing names
Many eligible voters have been denied their right to vote because their names were missing, although they held Elector’s Photo Identity Cards (EPIC).
“Why should they keep running around in circles to obtain updated EPICs every time there is an election, only to be turned down because the revised rolls do not contain their names,” he asked.
The money and energy spent for enumeration and preparation of electoral rolls with the help of teachers and government officials has time and again failed to produce the required results.
This needs to be answered because public money is being splurged to prepare incorrect rolls and to deny the citizens their right to vote, he said.
Involvement
It is also time for the citizens to behave in a responsible manner and involve themselves at the grassroots level to help the EC set right the perennial problem, he said.
The three-tier system applicable to rural areas viz., zilla, taluk and gram panchayats, is absent in urban areas. To fill this gap, involvement of Resident Welfare Associations/ NGOs and other concerned citizens would help.
Better network
“Street committees with volunteers from the residents in a street are the need of the hour.
They, in turn, can coordinate with ward committees for enumeration and compilation of near-perfect electoral rolls and also for assessing the works and projects that need attention and for projecting their demands and grievances with the concerned service providers,” Mr. Mysoormath suggested.
Sensitising youth
The youth of the country has exhibited rank apathy due to their feeling that “politics is a dirty business”.
Many have expressed disgust over the behaviour of politicians in Parliament/Assemblies.
‘Not bothered’
“The youth have not bothered even to register themselves as voters because of the cumbersome procedure and running around to get an EPIC which nevertheless becomes useless by the next election. This attitude needs to be changed,” he said.
Political will
What the country needs is political will to bring necessary legislation through amendment to those rule books that govern elections.
“Countries like Turkey and Australia have compulsory voting and the turnout is about 90-plus per cent. What made those countries prescribe such a rule and how it is implemented may be studied and adopted in our country also,” he said.
Incentives
Can incentives attract voters?
Some incentive is bound to attract at least a percentage of people to stop being apathetic and cynical and proceed to vote.
“A system may be prescribed: those who vote may be given a certificate by the EC for claiming say one or two per cent reduction in their electricity bills or water bills or property tax for a certain period after an election. If the percentage of voting can be increased by spending a few crores, then it will be well worth trying,” said Mr. Mysoormath.
EC has failed to check flow of money
Election Commission has failed to check distribution of money and other articles among voters. Mine lords, members of land mafia and anti-social elements were controlling the elections, which a dangerous development in democracy.
Major political parties had no moral right to go before the electorate as they had forgotten the basic principles of politics.
four polling booths in Bellary alleged rigging during the second phase of Karnataka assembly elections.
Tribal organisations, demand, disqualification, of candidates
Adivasi Swayattategagi Rastriya Rangha (ASRR)
and Nagarahole Tribal Rights Samithi have urged the Election
Commission to disqualify three candidates contesting from H D Kote
(Reserve) Assembly Constituency for allegedly producing false caste
certificates.
According to a press note issued by Samithi Convenor P K Ramu,
the candidates Mr Chikkanna (Congress), Mr Chikkaveera Nayaka (BJP)
and (Mr Doddanayaka (JD-S) had contested the Assembly elections from
this reserved constituency for tribals and urged the Commission to
disqualify and file criminal cases against them.
Earlier, based on a complaint filed by the public, Deputy
Commissioner and District Election Officer P Manivannan had
suspended H D Kote Tahasildar T Vijya and ordered a departmental
inquiry against her for issuing S T certificate to BJP candidate
Chikkaveera Naika.
They alleged that all three candidates had tampered with the
school documents and produced the false caste certificates during
the time of the election process and contested from H D Kote.
The Assistant Commissioner of Hunsur Sub Division M R Ravi had
submitted a report to the district election officer alleging
tampering with the records by the three candidates to claim the
Scheduled Tribe status to contest the election.
In his report, Mr Ravi stated the Tahsildar of H D Kote had
issued controversial caste certificates without verifying the
original documents and failed to follow the procedures before
issuing them.
Meanwhile, Deputy Commissioner and District Election Officer
P Manivannan said the report had been sent to the Election
Commission for further action.
In Reserved Constituencies, the Major Opposition Parties have encouraged False Caste Certificate holders as candidates.May be to keep them under their control for not asking for any provisions of reservation.
In CV Raman Nagar Constitutncy similar action was not taken when objection was raised during scrutiny, they were not rejected but accepted since the Tahsildars had issued them certificates and EC said that they were helpless and only the Courts can help them.
Some political parties were involved in the bomb blast at Hubli court to gain political mileage during the election.
Polling in sensitive booths of Bellary City and Rural was slow, but peaceful on the whole except for an incident in Srirampur Colony (SC (Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath) Colony), where a voter, Shivaji an asthma patient was not permitted to vote as he had produced only the xerox copy of his ID card which was not accepted by the polling officer.
An altercation ensued and the Border Security Force (BSF), who could not understand Kannada manhandled the voter and pushed him out. A group of people gathered and the situation was tense for a while. However, special observer Raymond Peter arrived on the spot. The voter and the local people mobbed his car and represented the case. The situation was brought under control.
Such a huge number of contestants has made the officials organize for two electronic voting machines in each polling booth. Each EVM can display a maximum of 16 names. Both machines will be connected to a single controlling unit, according to B P Adnoor, Commissioner, Bellary City Corporation.
Will voters be confused as they will have to look for their choice of candidates in two EVMs?
“No. Each candidate has been allotted with a number and a symbol. Voters will have to know that number. But in case of national parties, voters go by the symbol. In 2004, two EVMs were used in each booth as elections to the Assembly and Lok Sabha were held simultaneously. A voter will have to spend a second or two just to read the symbols as there would be two EVMs,” he said.
A tour around Bellary city showed that none of the independents are campaigning. Even major political party leaders admit that no independent is serious about the elections. Then why do they pay Rs 5,000 as deposit and enter the fray? A senior Congress leader said, “Majority of the independent candidates are dummy. They contest and approach us (major parties) for money to withdraw their nominations. This time none withdrew their papers. Each candidate is allowed to use only four vehicles for campaigning. This EC restriction has come as a major hurdle for us to campaign. So, we have kept the vehicles of independent candidates at our disposal. Of course, we have their money. This is done in by all major parties. Many of the independents are fielded by national parties”.
Another challenge being faced by the officials is to weed out the bogus student ID cards. The EC has listed 20 types of identity cards which can be used for casting vote. A voter has to produce any one of these to exercise his franchise. Students are allowed to produce their college ID card.
In the first phase of polling, students were found producing fake ID cards. So, the EC has sent mails to all the DCs to check the veracity of students’ ID card. “We have held a meeting with the principals of all colleges in Bellary and have directed them to ensure that their colleges are not found issuing bogus cards. If fake cards are found, then principals of such colleges will face criminal action,” said Aravind Srivastv, Deputy Commissioner, Bellary.
Security
Giving protection to polling booths in Bellary city is also a major challenge to officials. Each booth will be monitored by para military personnel because each one of the total 211 polling booths in the city is branded as hypersensitive, said Srivastav.
As many as 7,244 government staff has been drawn for election duty on March 16. Of this, 1,811 are presiding officers.
In fact, no staff is allowed to work in their home town or village. They have been allotted postings on a random basis. Till May 15 morning, they would not know where they will be posted. All these measures are taken to see that fare and free elections are held in the district, added Mr Srivastav.
Rs 10 crore worth liquor, gifts seized
As many as 1,418 criminal cases have been booked under provisions of IPC and Peoples Representation Act, while 1,705 cases have been registered under the Excise Act and Rs 3.5 crore worth IMF liquor and spirit has been seized since April 1….
Around 120 cases of inducement to voters by giving various gifts have been booked while property worth Rs 7 crore worth property have been seized, Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) Shankar Bidari said here on Wednesday. Speaking to reporters he said 16,616 persons have been arrested since April 1 and bonds have been obtained from them for good behaviour.
He said as many as 56,000 police personnel will be deployed in the second phase of elections to be held for 66 constituencies on May 16. This includes 21,000 civil police, 10,000 Home Guards, 22,000 para military forces and 3,000 KSRP personnel.
a total of 214 Central Para Military Force (CPMF) companies have been allotted to 66 Assembly constituencies in 10 districts, that include 21 for Raichur, Koppal (15) Uttara Kannada (18), Bellary (31), Chitradurga (18), Davanagere (24), Shimoga (22), Udupi (18), Chikmagalur (20) and Dakshina Kannada (27).
One mobile squad will be provided for every 20 polling stations. Each mobile squad comprises one police sub-inspector, one head constable, three constables and one Home Guard.
In all, there will be 650 mobile squads for all constituencies, Bidari said.
The CPMF pickets with one head constable, four constables/two head constables and 10 PCs will be posted in sensitive areas. Each constituency will have a striking force consisting one platoon of KSRP, he informed.
Polling booths
Bidari said out of the 12,271 polling stations in phase two, 3,754 have been classified as hypersensitive and 4,282 have been considered as sensitive. For every hypersensitive and sensitive booth, two uniformed police personnel and for every normal booth, one police personnel will be deployed.
families, in implementing housing programme and maintaining law and order.
BJP failure
BJP like the Congress and JDS also had to bear the burden of anti-incumbency as it had failed to issue ration cards to BPL
Peter takes charge
Senior IAS officer Raymond Peter, who was appointed as a special observer to oversee polling process in Bellary district, where mine owners have locked horns in the second phase, took charge on Wednesday.
He held a meeting with returning officers, top police officials and commandant of central security to review the poll preparations and arrangements.
In the December 2006 byelection to the Chamundeshwari Assembly constituency, Peter was the election observer and was known for dealing any violation of poll code of conduct with an iron hand.
The appointment of Peter in Bellary takes significance following allegations that voters are being lured with cash by mine owners. All the 211 polling stations in Bellary City has been declared as hypersensitive
In several areas, voters protested deletion of their names
Technical snags delaying and disrupting poll process for brief spells has been reported from several places.
Repolling in two polling stations
Electoral authorities on Sunday ordered repolling in two polling stations where elections were held during the first phase of Karnataka assembly polls
Repolling has been ordered at a polling station in Malleshwaram and another in Ramanagara following malfunctioning of EVMs there, Chief Electoral officer M N Vidyashankar told reporters.

Theravada
rests on core Buddhist teachings including the four noble truths and
eightfold path to enlightenment, the three jewels (Buddha, dharma, and
sangha), and concepts such as impermanence, non-self, karma, rebirth,
and dependent origination (the co-arising of phenomena), along with
ethical precepts and the meditation practices of samatha (calm abiding)
and vipassana (insight).
Although
the Buddha set out ethical guidelines for lay practitioners, Theravada
is essentially a monastic tradition, emphasizing vows of renunciation
and self-purification. For the Theravadin, the spiritual ideal is the
arahant (Sanskrit, arhat), or “accomplished one,” who through solitary
effort attains nirvana—liberation from the suffering of cyclic existence
that marks samsara, or worldly life. In classical Theravada, a
layperson could become a “stream-enterer”—the first of four levels of
attainment on the path to enlightenment. But the disciplined life of a
monastic was deemed essential to reach the highest level—a non-returner
like the Buddha, whose “final nirvana” experienced at his death freed
him from rebirth.
Theravada
has sometimes been called “Southern Buddhism”: from its origins in
northern India, it fanned out across southern Asia and today remains the
predominant form of Buddhism practiced in Sri Lanka, Myanmar (Burma),
Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos, and it is also practiced in Europe, the
Americas, and beyond.

BSP candidates may upset plans of other parties in Bidar district
M.B. Girish
BSP has given ticket to rebels candidates from Congress, JD(S), BJP
Fierce contest is on the cards in Basavkalyan constituency
Bandeppa Kashempur, Sanjay Kheny and Naseemoddin Patel to fight it out in Bidar South
BIDAR: The entry of Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) candidates into the fray may upset the plans of the nominees of other parties in some constituencies in Bidar district which will go to the polls on May 22.
The BSP has given ticket to rebel candidates from the Congress, Janata Dal (Secular) and Bharatiya Janata Party.
Naseemoddin Patel is contesting from Bidar South constituency on the BSP ticket after the Janata Dal (S) denied his candidature, Shantappa G. Patil, who was denied the BJP ticket, is the BSP candidate for Basavakalayn and Raheem Khan is contesting on the BSP ticket from Bidar Assembly seat after the Congress went in favour of the former Minister Gurupadappa Nagamarapalli.
The BJP, which has fielded Raghunathrao Malkapure, who belongs to the Kuruba community, for Bidar constituency, is said to have a large vote base in the segment as the party nominees Narayanrao Manhalli won the seat in 1983 and 1989 and Rameshkumar Pande in 1999.
The Congress, which won the seat in 1985, has fielded Mr. Nagamarapalli, a Lingayat. BSP, which won the Bidar seat in 1994 elections, has fielded Mr. Khan.
The former Minister Bandeppa Kashempur of the Janata Dal (S), Sanjay Kheny of the BJP and Mr. Naseemoddin Patel are locked in a triangular contest in Bidar South, a new constituency.
Both Mr. Kashempur and Mr. Kheny, whose native villages Kashempur and Ranjol Kheny respectively, are part of the constituency, are banking on their popularity and their family reputation. Mr. Naseemoddin Patel, a member of the zilla panchayat, is counting on the votes of minority community people.
Samad Siddique of the Congress is said to be a “weak” candidate in the constituency.
State unit president of the Janata Dal (S) Merajuddin Patel is contesting for Humnabad constituency where Rajshekar Patil of the Congress and Subhash Kallur of the BJP are in the fray.
In Aurad constituency, which is reserved for the Scheduled Castes candidates, Narsinghrao Suryawanshi of the Congress, MP, is in a straight fight with the BJP’s Prabhu Chavan.
Both are counting on the votes of Marathi-speaking people who are in large numbers in the constituency. Baburao Kadam is the Janata Dal (S) candidate.
Prakash Khandre of the BJP, Ishwar Khandre of the Congress and Anil Bhusare of the Janata Dal (S) are in the contest in Bhalki.
In the previous elections, the constituency witnessed a direct fight between Mr. Ishwar Khandre and Mr. Prakash Khandre. However, Mr. Prakash Khandre won the seat.
Fierce contest is likely on the cards in Basavkalyan as Mr. Shantappa Patil has entered the fray as the BSP candidate.
He has to fight it out with Basavraj Patil Attur of the BJP, Maruti Muley of the Congress and Mallikarjun Khuba of the Janata Dal (S).
In the last elections, Mr. Khuba was the Janata Dal (S) candidate, Mr. Attur - Janata Dal (United), Mr. Muley -Congress and Mr. Shantappa Patil was the BJP candidate.
5.84 % decrease in voter turnout in Raichur dist
According to official information received, the average turnout in Raichur district of the North Karnataka region was 54.01 per cent as against 59.85 per cent in the 2004 elections.
The voter turnout has come down by 5.84 per cent, compared to the 2004 elections, in Raichur district of the North Karnataka region in the second phase of elections to Karnataka Assembly, which was held on May 16.
According to official information received, the average turnout in the district was 54.01 per cent as against 59.85 per cent in the 2004 elections. The district had recorded the lowest turnout in the polls in the state.
It may be noted that in 2004, the elections were held simultaneously to the Assembly and Lok Sabha. The number of voters in the district had also increased to 12,47,868 from 10,82,77 in 2004. Only 6,73,934 voters had exercised their franchise in this election
Sindhanur Assembly constituency topped the list with the highest voter turnout of 58.65 per cent, followed by Raichur Rural constituency, recording 56.27 per cent polling, Deodurga constituency (55.71 per cent), Manvi (54.66), Maski (53.59) Lingsugur (53.56) and Raichur City (45.19).
An election official said strict implementation of rules, and making photo identity cards mandatory were some of the reasons for the reduced turnout. Rigging was considerably reduced in all the constituencies, the official claimed. Meanwhile, some technical problems had forced the election authorities to order repolling in two booths in Maski constituency, which was being held.
Mr. Gandhi faced the brunt of the simmering discontent within the Congress when his motorcade was proceeding to Amethi from Lucknow.
The issue came to the boil after he addressed party workers at Jagdishpur village, 70 km away, when he pointed out that he had received complaints of internal squabbles and that it amounted to “indiscipline”.
As he started out for the town, a local Youth Congress leader and several party workers squatted in front of his motorcade, forcing it to a halt.
When Mr. Gandhi asked them what the trouble was, they accused him of not fulfilling his promise made six months ago and said that not one of those displaced by the Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited plant set up at Jagdishpur was given a job.
Party sources said the activists were also peeved at Mr. Gandhi “not spending enough time with them.” “He has taken a note of their demand on the BHEL project and would be talking to the higher authorities,” they said.
Manual scavenging still rampant in North East Delhi, says report
Parul Sharma
Finance and Development Corporation had sponsored the study to identify scavengers in the city
As per the report scavenging is a women dominated profession
‘The scavengers have high aspirations for their children and want them to study’
NEW DELHI: While 15 years have lapsed since the demeaning and humiliating practice of manual scavenging was banned through the enactment of the Employment of Manual Scavengers and Construction of Dry Latrines (Prohibition) Act, 1993, manual scavenging is still rampant in North East Delhi, where a majority of Delhi’s 1,282 scavengers work, a study by a Delhi University lecturer has revealed.
According to the study conducted by Pamela Singla, a lecturer at the Department of Social Work at Delhi University, the main pockets of residence and workplace of people engaged in removal of night soil are in areas like Karawal Nagar, Old Seelampur, Shahdara, Gandhi Nagar, Nand Nagri and Babarpur. “Scavenging is done mainly by two ways, either by cleaning of drains or emptying the containers containing night soil,” said Dr. Singla, sharing the findings of the study that she conducted for the Delhi SC/ST/OBC/Minorities/Handicapped Finance and Development Corporation.
The Corporation had sponsored the study to identify scavengers in the city. Acting on the report, the Delhi State Cabinet had recently decided to initiate steps for the rehabilitation of manual scavengers.
As per the report, “Scavengers and Scavenging in Delhi”, submitted to the Corporation in July last year, scavenging is a women dominated profession.
“About 80 per cent of scavengers are women and majority of them are married. Over 71 per cent are below 40 years of age. Out of 1,282 scavengers, 1,085 reside and work in Delhi, while the remaining work in the Capital but live in Loni. Besides scavenging, they also collect garbage and clean septic tanks. They are engaged in scavenging purely owing to financial reasons as they have to fend for their families,” shared Dr. Singla.
A majority of them are not satisfied with their jobs since the work is “extremely filthy”. About 12 per cent of scavengers said they could not quit the profession as there was no alternative means of employment available to them because of their illiteracy.
“They are not sure what they want to do. During informal interactions with some of the women, I could gauge that they were not ready to undergo training for any other job. They showed willingness to do government jobs. Some women even said they would not mind scavenging if it would be counted under government jobs and would give them a regular, fixed income at the end of the month coupled with weekly holidays,” she said.
According to the report, the scavengers had high aspirations for their children and wanted them to study and get into some “dignified profession”.
Interestingly, Dr. Singla had conducted the same study way back in 1992 and was glad to note that the number of human scavengers in the Capital had come down from 8,000 back then to 1,282 this time round.
“Things have improved in some ways. In 1992, there were many scavengers who carried it (night soil) head load. In 2007, such persons were almost negligible with most carrying it in a cart,” she noted.
Dr. Singla said the profession can be completely abolished only when the authorities convert “dry” latrines to “wet” latrines with simultaneous programmes for their rehabilitation.
“As long as there is a demand for their services, scavengers will continue to exist,” she concluded, adding that the Corporation is sharing the report with some ministries.

Kundapur records 90 per cent
Special Correspondent
BANGALORE: As many as 67.75 per cent of the electorate cast their ballot on Friday in the second phase of polling in the Legislative Assembly elections in 66 constituencies.
Kundapura constituency in Udupi recorded 89.61 per cent turnout and Raichur recorded the lowest turnout of 45.19 per cent.
BANGALORE: Even as the State prepares for the third phase of polling for the Assembly elections, the list of candidates includes a large number of candidates having criminal background from three major parties. A study, “Karnataka Election Watch 2008”, released by the Association of Democratic Reforms (ADR) shows that the wealth of candidates has increased multifold since the last elections in 2004. ADR spokesperson Trilochan Sastry told presspersons here on Saturday that there were 36 candidates with grievous criminal charges such as murder, attempt to murder, bribery, cheating, dacoity, forgery, rape and theft. Of them, 27 were from major political parties.
The BJP tops the list of parties having candidates with criminal cases against them with 12 candidates followed by the Janata Dal (Secular) with seven and the Congress with six. Eleven other candidates have criminal records.
Mr. Sastry said the ADR was careful to include only those charges that were serious in nature. One BJP candidate faced charges of murder while in the Congress, four of them faced charges of murder.
The Janata Dal (Secular) has one such case. The document says 140 candidates with serious criminal charges have contested in all the three phases of elections so far.
The document states that there are 22 candidates who faced grievous charges in 2004 but the nature of their offences have changed after they became MLAs or when their parties came to power. The ADR wants the authorities to investigate into the charges. Giving details about the volume of wealth accumulated by the candidates contesting in the third phase, the document says the candidates have amassed wealth of Rs. 199.02 crores since the last elections in 2004.
Suspended
Bangalore: Not taking action to remove 350 banners and buntings, put up illegally by the supporters of Congress leader D.K Shivakumar on May 16 in connection with his birthday, proved costly for two employees of the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) as they were suspended for dereliction of duty. The suspended employees are: M. Ramesh (Second Division Revenue Inspector) and Yathiraj (First Division Revenue Inspector), both working in the Advertisement (East) division of the BBMP. Meanwhile, a show-cause notice has been issued to Francis, Assistant Revenue Officer, Incharge of Advertisement (East) division on the same issue. — Staff Reporter

layperson could become a “stream-enterer”—the first of four levels of
attainment on the path to enlightenment. But the disciplined life of a
monastic was deemed essential to reach the highest level—a non-returner
like the Buddha, whose “final nirvana” experienced at his death freed
him from rebirth.
Theravada
has sometimes been called “Southern Buddhism”: from its origins in
northern India, it fanned out across southern Asia and today remains the
predominant form of Buddhism practiced in Sri Lanka, Myanmar (Burma),
Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos, and it is also practiced in Europe, the
Americas, and beyond.

Ms. Mayawati said that her government was committed to live up to the expectations of the people and all efforts were being made to make Uttar Pradesh a leading state of the country. She said that only B.S.P. Government could provide an atmosphere free from injustice, crime, fear, corruption which was condusive for development. All the governments ruling the state since independence could not provide such an atmosphere. She said that after coming to power, the biggest challenge before the government was to streamline the law and order of the state. The Government had succeeded in it and there was a sharp decline in the incidents of crime. The Chief Minister maintained that the State Government had brought an end to the atmosphere of anarchy following which the situation stabilised. She said that peace was necessary for development and the government took some bold decision to improve the law and order, as against the previous regime where the F.I.R.s were not registered and the jungle raaj pervaded all over the State. She remarked that her government accorded top priority to the establishment of the ‘rule of law by the law’ in the State and abolish the jungle raaj. Provisions like A.T.S., S.T.F., U.P.C.O.C.A., S.I.T. were made to deal with terrorism, notorious criminals etc. The SC/ST Act was being followed strictly. Efforts had been made to ensure development and welfare of naxal affected areas. She congratulated the police administration for the dip in the crimegraph. Ms. Mayawati said that after coming to power, she immediately held a meeting of senior officers of the State and reviewed the law and order situation as well as development works. At that meeting, she had listed her government’s priorities and ordered the officers to follow them strictly. She said that the services and facilities being provided by the State Government should reach the common man and no let up in it would be tolerated. She said that the officer had been directed to remain present in their offices between 10 a.m. to 12 noon, so that on the spot redress of people’s grievances could be ensured. Besides, the officers had been directed to organise ‘tehsil diwas’ and ‘thana diwas’ on a regular basis. She said that the government was specially focussing on the villages and poor among the farmers. She said that the State Government had prepared all its policies in the light of Sarvajan Hitai, Sarvajan Sukhai (welfare and happiness for all). The Chief Minister said that monitoring of law and order had been made foolproof at every level. The Government’s intent was to ensure that the benefit of government schemes should reach beneficiaries. She said that her government had doubled the amount of all types of pension and the number of the beneficieries too had been raised. For the development of villages new norms had been fixed for the selection of gram sabhas on the basis of population of ‘Sarva Samaj’ under Dr. Ambedkar Samgra Vikas Yojna, so as to ensure the benefit of development to all. For the development and expansion of basic facilities in towns and cities, Manyawar Kanshi Ram Shahri Samgra Vikas Yojna had been launched. We had put back on rails the development of the entire state within our limited resources, without the cooperation of the Central Government. She said that electrification work lying unfinished in 17,179 villages had been completed and power supply ensured in more than 20,000 villages Dr. Ambedkar Gram Sabha Yojna. Ms. Mayawati said that on assumption of power she inherited empty coffers and the serious problem of power. The government took necessary steps to meet power crisis without loss of time and long term schemes had been formulated to solve the problem. She said that these efforts were expected to result in the availability of 10,000 MW in the state in the five years. She said that almost all the previous governments failed to pay heed to power generation in keeping with the need of increasing population. She said that efforts of present government had resulted in 100 per cent payment of cane prices to the farmers in the year of 2006-07 and about 75 per cent in 2007-08. The remaining payment of cane dues would be made soon. The penalty for less weighing had been increased from Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 50,000. The crushing capacity had been increased by raising the number of sugar mills. The Chief Minister said that keeping in view the importance of education, 88,000 primary teachers were being recruited, besides ensuring qualitative improvement in education. Buildings of 5,500 primary and higher primary schools besides 27,000 class rooms had been constructed in one year. Decision had also been taken to hold students union’s elections according to the recommendations of the Lyngdoh committee. With a view to ensuring participation of private sector in technical education and higher education, emphasis had been laid on the creation of more and more employment opportunities. The initiative had for the first time been taken to implement the reservation system in the jobs being created in the private sector on voluntary basis. She said that schemes were being implemented for the development of rural areas and top most priority had been given to employment generation adding that the rule of previous governments had been confined to a few places. She said that for medical and health facilities her government had made a budgetary provision of Rs. 5626 crore for high class facilities in every area without any discrimination which was 20 per cent more than the last year. Besides, a provision of Rs. 383 crore had been made for the construction of primary and community health centres. Hospitals established earlier were being upgraded, expanded and modernised. Ms. Mayawati said that her government had been sensitive to the interests of the destitute, weaker sections and the poor from the very beginning. Decision had been taken for establishing several schools for handicapped persons for making them self-reliant. Besides it, decision had also been taken to establish a university at Lucknow for them on Public Private Partnership (PPP) basis. For the betterment and welfare of minorities, Madarsa Siksha Parishad had been constituted for the first time in the State. She said that a proposal for inclusion of socially, economically and educationally backward caste in the scheduled castes list had been sent to the Government of India. Request had to also been made to Central Government to bring constitutional amendment for providing benefit of reservation to the poor people of upper castes in the private sector. The backlog of reserved posts had been filled by way of drive. The recruitments under general category had also commenced. The Chief Minster especially referred to the efforts of state government for providing relief to the drought affected people in Bundelkhand. On the occasion she said that after taking the reigns of administration, she was told that the drought conditions of Bundelkhand were very severe. It was due to the insensitivity of previous government that the situation worsened in the last four years. She said that her government declared nine districts as drought affected without wasting time and relief and development works were taken up on war-footing. She said that she herself went to Bundelkhand and schemes worth Rs. 1500 crore were started. In each village food grain banks had been opened for providing foodgrains to the destitute and helpless persons, besides provision or community kitchen. The Minimum amount of agriculture subsidy had been increased from Rs. 250 to Rs. 1000 for small and marginal farmers. Under NREGA 6.37 lakh families were given employment and 3.13 crore man days employment was created. The Chief Minister said that the government had formulated a pragmatic middle of the path economic policy. Ganga Express-way project costing Rs. 40,000 crore had been prepared on PPP basis, which would connect the entire Uttar Pradesh to Delhi. The industrial development had been given a fillip by strengthening the infrastructure facilities in the State. Besides, VAT regime had been implemented and tax rates of necessary items have been reduced so as to bring down prices of essential commodities. Ms. Mayawati said that the foundation laid by Dr. Ambedkar for an egalitarian social order was carried forward by Manyawar Shri Kanshiram. No body had done any thing in memory and honour of such great persons. She said that the government took initiative in this direction and to perpetuate their memory to constructing memorials. Besides, several other schemes had been launched after the name of Saints, Gurus and great men, so that the people could take inspiration from their life and struggles. She said that the people had realised during one year of the rule that the promises made by the B.S.P. Government were not confined to paper, but were seen on the ground. She assured the people that every moment of the B.S.P. Government was devoted to the welfare and betterment of the people. Earlier, the Chief Minster inaugurated a photo exhibition based one year’s achievements of the government. Cultural programmes were also presented on the occasion. The Chief Minister appreciated M.P. and Chairman U.P. Advisory Council Mr. Satish Chandra Mishra, Chief Secretary Mr. P.K. Mishra, Cabinet Secretary Mr. Shashank Shekhar Singh for their commitment for implementing the policies of the Government. While the Chief Secretary Mr. P.K. Mishra welcomed the Chief Minister and other guests, Principal Secretary Information Mr. Vijai Shanker Pandey proposed vote of thanks. On this occasion, M.P. Mr. Satish Chandra Mishra, several Minister, MPs, MLAs, Party office bearers and Cabinet Secretary Mr. Shashank Shekhar Singh were present, besides senior officers and eminent citizens.
Calls for consensus on passage of Women’s Reservation Bill
Lucknow: May 6, 2008 The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Ms. Mayawati, while clearing the stand of the State Government on the issue of Women’s Reservation Bill, said that from the outset her Government was of the view that “Jitni jiski bhagidari, Utni uski hissedari”. She said that considering that the population of the women was 50 per cent of the total population of the country, therefore, it would be justified that they were given 50 per cent reservation in all levels of the political structure of the country. The C.M. said that her Government welcomed the proposal of 33 per cent reservation of women as it was an important step towards the empowerment of women, but it also expresses its disapproval of certain provisions incorporated in the Bill. Ms. Mayawati said that there was no provision to ensure that the women of all categories of the Sarva Samaj got the benefit of reservation. Therefore, her government was of the view that certain important amendments should be made in the Bill. She said that her government believed that out of the 33 per cent reservation quota proposed for the women, there should be provision for separate reservation for the women belonging to SC/ST and OBC categories, viz. these categories should not be given quota within quota. *******

60 % vote in Karnataka phase II
Special Correspondent
Bangalore: Polling in the second phase of elections for 66 seats of the Karnataka Assembly held in 10 districts on Friday was by and large peaceful. In the first phase on May 10, elections were conducted for 89 seats. The third phase, covering the remaining 69 seats, is scheduled for May 22.
A violent incident in Bellary on Thursday, resulting in the transfer of the Superintendent of Police, and a shootout by a naxal group at Hebri in Udupi district in which two people were killed, did not have much impact on the polling.
Udupi and the neighbouring district of Dakshina Kannada recorded the highest polling percentage of 68. It was 55 per cent in Bellary.
Chief Electoral Officer M.N. Vidyashankar said the polling average was 60.3 per cent. It was 63.3 per cent in the first phase.
Heavy security
Director-General and Inspector-General of Police R. Srikumar told The Hindu that apart from the State police and the special anti-naxalite police, a number of platoons of Central paramilitary forces were on duty.
There was only one attempt at bogus voting in a polling station at the New Mangalore Port and even this was thwarted by the police. The polling percentages in the other districts were: Chikmagalur (63), Chitradurga (60), Davanagere (64), Koppal (62), Raichur (47), Shimoga (60) and Uttara Kannada (61).
67.8 per cent polling in second phase of Karnataka polls
Karnataka Chief Electoral Officer, M N Vidyashankar told reporters that Chikmagalur registered 71.14 per cent while Bellary, classified as a highly sensitive district, recorded 66.64 per cent.
About 67.8 per cent of the 1.10 crore electorate cast their ballot yesterday in the second phase of polling in Karnataka assembly elections in 66 constituencies spread over ten districts, Election Department sources said today.
Karnataka Chief Electoral Officer, M N Vidyashankar told reporters that Bellary, classified as a highly sensitive district, recorded 66.64 per cent.
Chikmagalur registered 71.14 per cent, Chitradurga 67.83 per cent, Dakshina Kannada 72.87 per cent, Davanagere 70.84 per cent, Koppal 62.39 per cent, Raichur 54.01 per cent, Shimoga 70.06 per cent, Udupi 75.63 per cent and Uttara Kannada 69 per cent.
Incidentally, these districts had registered 67.8 per cent polling in the 2004 assembly elections also, he said.
Vidyashankar said there was a possibility of ordering re-poll in two or three polling booths and awaited reports from Returning Officers.
Sources had projected about 60 per cent polling yesterday.
The second phase of polling was by and large peaceful and was held amid unprecedented security cover.The security was tightened in the light of poll-related violence in which Naxalites shot dead two persons in Hebri in Udupi district on May 15 and also some clashes between Congress and BJP workers in Bellary.
Voters sealed the poll fortunes of 589 aspirants.
In the first phase of election in 89 assembly segments spread across 11 districts, about 66 per cent of an estimated 1.73 crore electorate had exercised their franchise
A total of 155 constituencies out of the 224 seats have gone through the voting process and remaining 69 from eight districts face election on May 22, in the final phase.
The counting of votes will be taken up on May 25.
anti-national activities had reached a new height during the NDA government headed by Atal Behari Vajpayee. He said that law and order was state’s responsibility and the bomb blasts in Rajasthan would have prevented had Vijayraje Scindia-led BJP government taken proper measures. BJP was using the terror issue as an election stunt.

Dhammadinna, Daughter of a clansman (kulagehe), wife of a
Millionare(Setthi) (Visakha), both of Rajagaha, foremost of the Elder
Nuns who were preachers
Now,
she, in the time when Padumuttara was Buddha, lived at Hansavati in a
state of servitude; and because she worshipped, served and did honour to
one of the chief disciples when he rose from his meditative trance
state, she was reborn in heaven and so on, among gods(angels) and men,
till Phussa was Buddha. Then she worked merit by doubling the gift
prescribed by her husband to the Master’s half-brothers while they were
staying in a servant’s house. And when Kassapa was Buddha, she came to
birth in the house of Kiki, King of Kasi, as one of the Seven Sisters,
his daughters, and for 20,000 years lived a holy life of
sexual-abstinence(celibacy). . . . Finally, in this Buddha-Era, she was
reborn of a clansman’s family at Rajagaha, and became the wife of
Visakha, a leading citizen. Now one day her husband went to hear the
Master(Buddha) teaching, and became Anagami(non-returner , destined to
arch-angel world[1]). When he came home, Dhammadinna met him as he went
up the stairs; but he leant not on her outstretched hand, nor spoke to
her at supper. And she asked: ‘Dear sir, why did you not take my hand?
Why do you not talk to me? Have I done anything improper?’ ‘It is for no
fault in you, Dhammadinna; but from from now on I am not fit to touch a
woman or take pleasure in food, for of such is the doctrine now borne
in upon me. Do you according as you wish, either continuing to dwell
here, or taking as much wealth as you need and going back to your
family.’ ‘No, dear sir, I will make no such goings back. Allow me to
leave the world(renounce & become nun).’ ‘It is well, Dhammadinna,’
replied Visakha, and sent her to the Bhikkhunis in a golden palanquin.
Admitted to the Order, she shortly after asked permission of her
teachers to go into retreat, saying: ‘Mothers, my heart has no delight
in a place of crowds; I would go into a village abode.’ The Bhikkhunis
brought her there, and while there, because in her past lives she had
subjugated the complexities of thought, word, and deed, she soon
attained Arahantship(enlightenment equal to Buddha), together with
thorough mastery of the form and meaning of the Dhamma(eternal truth).
Upon that she thought: ‘Now have I reached the summit. What shall I do
here any longer? I will even go to Rajagaha and worship the
Master(Buddha), and many of my relatives will, through me, acquire
merit.’ So she returned with her Bhikkhunis. Then Visakha(husband),
hearing of her return, curious to know why she came, interviewed her
with questions on the Khandhas and the like. And Dhammadinna answered
every question as one might cut a lotus-stalk with a knife, and finally
referred him to the Master. The Master(Buddha) praised her great wisdom,
as it is told in the Lesser Vedalla (Miscellany) Sutta, and ranked her
foremost among the Theris who could preach.
But
it was while she was dwelling in the country, and, while yet in the
lowest path, practiced insight meditation (Vipassana[2]) to reach the
highest, that she uttered her verse:
In whom desire to reach the final rest
Is born suffusing all the mind of her,
Whose mind is no more held by lure of sense-desire
Bound Upstream, so shall she be called. (12)

Therigatha : Complete & Detailed Version
The
Therigatha (Theri+Gatha) consists poems(gathas) written by Theris i.e.
Elder Nuns(also known as Bhikkunis) who were the foremost and fully
enlightened (Arahats) & mostly of the time of Buddha. These
infinitely self illuminated Elder Nuns had also reached the other shore
of Nirvana/Nibbana (transcendental dimension) where there is eternal
bliss and eternal life. These accounts serve as inspiration to follow in
their footsteps.

followed by all other democratic countries to save democracy, liberty,
equality and fraternity. The Free For All Mad

Constitution & trying to implement manusmrti. CJI must also order

There
is a reason Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren’s statement at Harvard’s India
Conference that Adivasis were never Hindus rattled the BJP and RSS.
Recently,
the chief minister of Jharkhand and leader of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha,
Hemant Soren admitted that Adivasis were never Hindus and neither are
they now. This was in response to his attempt to get Sarna Code approved
by the Narendra Modi government at the Centre. The Sarna Code
establishes a distinct, honourable identity for the Adivasis away from
the Hindu identity — which is usually assumed as such for the Tribals.
The dominant caste savarna Hindus have taken for granted the status of
Adivasi and Dalits as being Hindu. It is used to construct a false
notion of Hindu majority and thereby establish Bharat nation as Hindus’
land – Hindustan.
After
Soren’s statement, the entire Hindu consensus, and especially the
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), got rattled. They were shaken to the
core. The mouthpiece of the RSS, Organiser, immediately released a
statement accusing Soren of “parroting evangelical propaganda”. The RSS’
political offshoot, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), followed with
accusations at Soren that he was benefiting from Christian missionaries.
A
sitting, democratically elected chief minister and arguably the tallest
leader of Adivasis in the country was put to test by caste denialists.
The Constitution of India gives the responsibility to the State and
society to protect and preserve Adivasi tradition as unique to India’s
history. But the savarna advocates of the Hindu mission insist on
Hinduising the Adivasis.
The
idea of Hindustan is enveloped as majoritarian nationalism. It is used
by liberals, radicals, nationalists alike. When one declares the
national Indian identity as one tied to the Hindu past, it brushes aside
the glorious histories of independent, autonomous, anti-Brahminical
legacy of the native people. The natives of India can be broadly
classified into Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), and Other
Backward Class (OBC) in constitutional terms. These natives were
relegated to the lower status by the advent of Brahminism. Pushyamitra
Shunga was one of the important Brahmin actors to have ironed the
definition of political varna, which gave rise to the clean distinction
of varna-based political economy. This meant extermination of Sramana
traditions — those that gave rise to Jainism and Buddhism.
Almost
everyone in the country falsely promotes the idea of Hindu
majoritarianism. The defender and opponents alike use this historically
incorrect and sociologically impossible definition of Hindu
majoritarianism. The liberals get a piece of cake for framing the recent
identity of Hindu-Muslim binarism. I have repeatedly opposed such
limiting binaries. These binaries obviate Adivasis and Dalits as
non-existing, useless, and irrelevant categories of people without any
history of their own. Turns out, these binaries are the relic of the
census data that have classified majority (Hindu) and minority (Muslim).
Thus, the majoritarian consensus doesn’t need rationalisation. It can
be qualified based on assumptions and beliefs — it becomes a matter of
faith.
Fraudulent Census of India
Hindu
majority is a faulty idea on many counts. It is a fraud committed by
census takers from the time of British colonialism. The construction of
Hindu is ahistorical. There is no prevalence of Hindu or Hinduism before
the British census started putting Hindu as an identity in its census
in 1881. Although the census was to take off in 1861 but the 1857
rebellion quashed those efforts. In 1872, it finally started to take
shape but did not cover all of India.
Though
British census was faulty, it gave the administration enough to
regulate laws and decide for the ruled mass. Better governance was the
primary objective of the State and knowing more about this extremely
diverse nation was pursued by curious anthropologists. As census started
to formalise over the years, Hindu began to become a more known
identity. The Brahmins, as usual, jumped on this proposition to claim
ownership over recently manufactured pan-India Hindu identity.
Initially, the census covered disparate provinces.
The
census chart of religion later classified into groups such as Hindu,
Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, Jain, Sikh, Parsi, Jewish, and Animist.
Animist meant the aboriginal tribes who had not yet come under the
influence of Hinduism, argues census scholar Bhagat. When Hindu was
introduced in the census, there arose enormous problems. How to define a
Hindu? There were two broad classifications of Shaivites and
Vaishanvities, who were bitterly divided over the common belief. Then
there are those who classify as Brahmo Samaj and Arya Samaj. Add to it
the enormous divisions of caste and independent religious practices.
Nevertheless, it had to be defined.
Hindu
is anyone who is not “European, Armenian, Moghul, Persian or other
foreign descent, who is a member of a recognised caste, who acknowledges
the spiritual authority of Brahmans (priestly caste), who venerates or
at least refuses to kill or harm kine, and does not profess any creed or
religion which the Brahman forbids him to profess” [sic].
This
gave a push for Brahmin interpreters like Arya Samaj, who merrily
accepted this adjustment and promoted a common Indian identity as being
Hindu. Social reformers at the time and the Congress party embraced this
fallacious identity by setting a political agenda of mythical Hindu
supremacist past. This worked in two ways. The first was to establish a
historical sense of sovereignty in the past, and the second was to
counter the European colonisers as ahistorical barbarous.
In
1911 census, Hindus were separated as genuine and non-genuine. The
latter were those who denied Vedas, authority of Brahmins, did not have
Brahmins into the fold, ate beef and did not revere cows.
This
intervention by the British officials led many in the postcolonial
scholarship to believe that caste was highlighted and incoherently
promoted by the British. Thus, the controversial argument of caste
becoming sharper during British period prevailed in the thesis of
Bernard Cohn and Nicholas Dirks. Many in the Right-wing interpreted this
to say that the British imported caste from Europe by giving it an
anglicised taste.
Census of 21st Century
The
2001 census found 1,700 religious categories apart from the dominant
ones. They were clubbed into the ‘Other’ column. Adivasis are also
clubbed into this. However, it is now being taken out in 2021 census,
which indirectly puts them in the column of Hindu or other religious
groups, Hemant Soren gestured.
The
Indian State has issued the Socio-Economic Caste Census separate from
the rest of the nation. The report is disturbing because it shows the
marginalisation of Dalits and Adivasis on each level. The purpose of
post-independence Indian census was to record the lives and stories of
those on the margins in order to protect them.
Thus,
the celebration of postcolonial nationalism does not only mean changing
of colonial-era names and laws but getting rid of colonial-era laws and
ignorant identities. India is an extremely complicated country. Each
region, caste, sect, religion has its own history, and they are a nation
in themselves. We cannot afford to combine them under a pretence of
British-given identity. To rescue Adivasis from the stranglehold of
Hindu is the real work of Birsa Munda, Sidhu, Kanhu Murmu, and Narayan
Singh among scores of heroes and heroines.
The
Brahmin and other Savarna castes only seem to care about Adivasis when
the Christian missionaries are taking the word of equality propounded in
their religion. Tribals like Dalits on the coastal regions and in
Southern India immediately converted to Christianity in the colonial era
as they did during the colonial Mughals to Islam. Brahmins, through
organisations like the RSS, have started to convert Tribals to the Hindu
fold. This is not very different from what Christian missions do.
Everyone
who is indigenous to the land and worship their ancestral gods should
be allowed to register as a non-Hindu with separate identity. As the
Census of India 2001 report on religion stated, India is host to
“indigenous faiths tribal religions which have survived the influence of
major religions for centuries and are holding the ground firmly”. The
Census of India is an ideal way to establish yourself without relying on
the patronage of the oppressive majority. By forcing Dalits, Adivasis
and many backward classes into the Hindu fold, the savarnas assume an
undemocratic, unelected majority. The Adivasis and Dalits should be
allowed to have a separate column in the religious census. This will be a
tribute to their contribution to India’s freedom struggle and the
nation as a whole.

RSS favours paper ballots, EVMs subjected to public scrutiny
Joining
the controversy regarding the reliablity of Electronic Voting Machines
(EVMs) which have been questioned by political parties, the RSS today
asked the Election Commission (EC) to revert back to tried and tested
paper ballots and subject EVMs to public scrutiny whether these gadgets
are tamper proof. In an editorial titled ‘Can we trust our EVMs?’, The
Organiser, the RSS mouthpiece, noted it was a fact that till date an
absolutely tamper-proof machine had not been invented and credibility of
any system depends on ‘transparency, verifiability and trustworthiness’
than on blind and atavistic faith in its infallibility. The issue is
not a ‘private affair’ and it involves the future of India. Even if the
EVMs were genuine, there was no reason for the EC to be touchy about it,
the paper commented. The Government and the EC can’t impose EVMs as a
fait accompli on Indian democracy as the only option before the voter.
There were flaws like booth capturing, rigging, bogus voting, tampering
and ballot paper snatching in the ballot paper system of polling leading
the country to switch over to the EVMs and all these problems were
relevant in EVMs too. Rigging was possible even at the counting stage.
What made the ballot papers voter-friendly was that all aberrations were
taking place before the public eye and hence open for corrections
whereas the manipulations in the EVMs is entirely in the hands of powers
that be and the political appointees manning the sytem, the paper
commented. The EVM has only one advantage — ’speed’ but that advantage
has been undermined by the staggered polls at times spread over three to
four months. ‘’This has already killed the fun of the election
process,'’ the paper noted. Of the dozen General Elections held in the
country, only two were through the EVMs and instead of rationally
addressing the doubts aired by reputed institutions and experts the
Government has resorted to silence its critics by ‘intimidation and
arrests on false charges’, the paper observed, recalling the arrest of
Hyederabad-based technocrat Hari Prasad by the Mumbai Police. Prasad’s
research has proved that the EVMs were ‘vulnerable to fraud’. The
authorities want to send a message that anybody who challenges the EC
runs the risk of persecution and harassment, the RSS observed. Most
countries around the world looked at the EVMs with suspicion and
countries like the Netherlands, Italy, Germany and Ireland had all
reverted back to paper ballots shunning EVMs because they were ‘easy to
falsify, risked eavesdropping and lacked transparency’. Democracy is too
precious to be handed over to whims or an opaque establishment and
network of unsafe gizmos. ‘’For the health of Indian democracy it is
better to return to tried and tested methods or else elections in future
can turn out to be a farce,'’ the editorial said.

BSP is hoping to bag 55-60 seats (of the 89 which went to polls in first phase)
Karnataka prepares for second phase of assembly polls
An estimated 1.10 crore electorate are expected to decide the fate of 589 candidates in the second phase of elections to Karnataka Assembly on Friday.
Electoral authorities have made elaborate arrangements for conduct of the elections in the 12,271 polling stations in 66 segments spread across ten districts, where over 56,000 security personnel would keep a close watch.
In the first phase of elections on May 10, a 66 per cent voter turnout was registered in 89 of the total 224 assembly seats. The third and final phase would be on May 22.
Police have provided an additional layer of security in naxal infested districts of Udupi, Shimoga and Chikmagalur and issued shoot-at-sight orders to deal with outlaws if they attempt to disrupt the poll process in wake of their issuing poll boycott warnings.
Around 16,000 para military force personnel, including 500-strong Anti-Naxal Force, have been deployed in these parts, state ADGP Shankar Bidari said.
Similarly, strong vigil was on in the sensitive Bellary district, bordering Andhra Pradesh where giants from the mining industry are in fray.
The Election Commission continuing its efforts to ensure a free and fair election in Bellary, has deputed senior IAS officer Raymond Peter as special observer, who successfuly checked malpractices in the 2006 by-election to Chamundeswari assembly constituency in Mysore.
CHIKMAGALUR
This reserved constituency has the highest number of agriculture labourers and plantation workers. The BSP is therefore a major opponent to Congress and BJP.

Witness the life journey of Gautam Buddha in an immersive 360 degree experience – Animation…
Commissioned by Rajkiya Nirman Nigam, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, a
remarkable view into the life of Siddhartha Gautam Buddha in a 360
degree space is being designed by Charuvi Design Labs (CDL). Through
beautiful and permanent films for the upcoming museums at Sravasti
(Uttar Pradesh) and Kapilavastu (on the Prabuddha Bharat Nepal Border), the team
plans to immerse the audience from all perspectives in this one of a
kind experience.
CDL is currently conceptualising two 30-minute animated films to be
exhibited and projected as part of the museums currently being
constructed at Sravasti. This is the site where Buddha spent twenty-four
rainy seasons at the Jetavan monastery, built by his disciple Sudatta
Anathapindika and Kapilavastu which is deeply endowed with Buddha’s
origins. It is believed that Buddha spent his first early years here
before embarking on the long journey to awakenment.
The films attempt to encapsulate the brief duration of Buddha’s
exemplary life spent in both the places. The intent is to visually
depict some of the important milestones in his life whilst parallelly
showing the historical aspects of both the sites and the holistic
connection to the life story of Buddha himself. Tremendous research was
done supplemented with incredible documentation before proceeding to
conceptualise the visuals.
The 360 projection space is a permanent installation at the museum and
the content intends to soak the audience in spiritual journey aiding
with historical facts. “We have primarily used a mix of pure 3D, motion
graphics and an amalgamation with real photography, live shoots and
drone shots. Considering it’s a 360 projection, we had to formulate the
camera movement as per the surface area so that it feels seamless when
viewed from any angel,” mentioned Charuvi Design Labs founder and
director Charuvi Agarwal. During 3D production, the team used Unreal
Engine and Maya for animating majority of the shots.
For both the films, music and audio constitute half the viewing
experience. The sūtra-dhāra of the films takes one through the entire
journey of Buddha, where one can experience a captivating monologue of
Angulimaal. “We want the audience to step into a poetic rendition of the
whole experience and all this and much more can be experienced under
the soothing and sometimes dramatic musical score,” added Agarwal.
CDL was in the news years back for the 25 feet sculpture of Hanuman,
made of 26,000 bells, installed in New Delhi. This grand piece of art
was made to promote CDL’s animated film Shri Hanuman Chalisa.
Agrawal presented A Tour De Force for The Jayprakash Narayan Museum in Lucknow, where a praxinoscope titled Thali Bajao,
attempts to recreate the flash in history. The installation makes one
understand the physics and dynamics of constructing a large structure
and also takes one on an emotional ride, recreating the historical
impact of the protest and feel the deep rooted emotions attached to the
movement.
CDL, with its unique concepts and breathtaking artwork is taking
animation industry to another level. And, we just can’t wait to get
enthralled by experiencing the life of Siddhartha Gautam Buddha in a 360
degree space!
Over 2500 years ago Gotama the Buddha ushered in a golden era of unprecedented peace, harmonyand happiness which lasted for several centuries. In recent times once again a great interest is growing among people, both in the East and the West, to study and practice the noble teachings of the Buddha.

The highlight of this year’s programs is the chanting of the Holy Tipitaka throughout year. We invite you to participate in all the programs and gain merits.
New Delhi, May 13 (IANS) It is perhaps just a matter of time, given the “certain weariness” with the mainstream political parties, before Mayawati becomes India’s prime minister, says a new autobiography of the Uttar Pradesh chief minister released to time with the first anniversary of her fourth stint as government leader of the country’s most populous state. Written by journalist Ajoy Bose, “Behenji” (Penguin) says that there is often a subterranean current in favour of a political leader of movement that is not fully visible on the surface.
“Mayawati comprehensively proved that in Uttar Pradesh” last year by leading her Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) to an astonishing victory in the assembly elections, says the book.
“It is possible that she will do so again in a larger national arena. Certainly, for a long time no other leader has been talked about with as much excitement and anticipation across social strata - from upper class living rooms to working class slums.
“There is a certain weariness cutting across class and caste barriers today, with the minimalist politics practised by mainstream political parties, whether it is the Congress or the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party).
“This is why the idea of a prime minister like Mayawati appeals to more people that one would normally imagine,” says the political biography of the woman who was born into a poor family and became what she is today with aggressive mobilization of the Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath.
“Even if Mayawati were not to make it as prime minister after (next year’s) Lok Sabha polls, she would remain a strong contender for the post in future electoral battles,” Bose says.
Until BSP Rules !
There’ll be many Midterm Polls !
“With a secure bastion in the country’s largest state and an emotional stranglehold over a countrywide group like the Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath, she has extremely strong political cards to play in an increasingly fractured polity.
“It is perhaps just a matter of time before she does become the prime minister of this country,” says the book, adding it would not be surprising if the BSP wins 250 seats in the Lok Sabha from Uttar Pradesh alone in the next general election.
This, if it happens, would make her a strong contender for power nationally, more so if there were to be a badly hung parliament.
At the same time, the autobiography cautions that it would be naive to expect the BSP to replicate its successful social engineering - the coalition of Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath and Hindu upper castes - experiment across the country.
“It is not difficult to envisage the BSP getting more than 150 Lok Sabha seats beyond Uttar Pradesh in the next general electionsas it has spread its wings all over India.
All-out efforts to make Uttar Pradesh a prosperous State — Mayawati
Lucknow: May 13, 2008 The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Ms. Mayawati, while addressing a function organised to mark the completion of one year of her Government held at the C.M.S.

Ms. Mayawati said that her government was committed to live up to the expectations of the people and all efforts were being made to make Uttar Pradesh a leading state of the country. She said that only B.S.P. Government could provide an atmosphere free from injustice, crime, fear, corruption which was condusive for development. All the governments ruling the state since independence could not provide such an atmosphere. She said that after coming to power, the biggest challenge before the government was to streamline the law and order of the state. The Government had succeeded in it and there was a sharp decline in the incidents of crime. The Chief Minister maintained that the State Government had brought an end to the atmosphere of anarchy following which the situation stabilised. She said that peace was necessary for development and the government took some bold decision to improve the law and order, as against the previous regime where the F.I.R.s were not registered and the jungle raaj pervaded all over the State. She remarked that her government accorded top priority to the establishment of the ‘rule of law by the law’ in the State and abolish the jungle raaj. Provisions like A.T.S., S.T.F., U.P.C.O.C.A., S.I.T. were made to deal with terrorism, notorious criminals etc. The SC/ST Act was being followed strictly. Efforts had been made to ensure development and welfare of naxal affected areas. She congratulated the police administration for the dip in the crimegraph. Ms. Mayawati said that after coming to power, she immediately held a meeting of senior officers of the State and reviewed the law and order situation as well as development works. At that meeting, she had listed her government’s priorities and ordered the officers to follow them strictly. She said that the services and facilities being provided by the State Government should reach the common man and no let up in it would be tolerated. She said that the officer had been directed to remain present in their offices between 10 a.m. to 12 noon, so that on the spot redress of people’s grievances could be ensured. Besides, the officers had been directed to organise ‘tehsil diwas’ and ‘thana diwas’ on a regular basis. She said that the government was specially focussing on the villages and poor among the farmers. She said that the State Government had prepared all its policies in the light of Sarvajan Hitai, Sarvajan Sukhai (welfare and happiness for all). The Chief Minister said that monitoring of law and order had been made foolproof at every level. The Government’s intent was to ensure that the benefit of government schemes should reach beneficiaries. She said that her government had doubled the amount of all types of pension and the number of the beneficieries too had been raised. For the development of villages new norms had been fixed for the selection of gram sabhas on the basis of population of ‘Sarva Samaj’ under Dr. Ambedkar Samgra Vikas Yojna, so as to ensure the benefit of development to all. For the development and expansion of basic facilities in towns and cities, Manyawar Kanshi Ram Shahri Samgra Vikas Yojna had been launched. We had put back on rails the development of the entire state within our limited resources, without the cooperation of the Central Government. She said that electrification work lying unfinished in 17,179 villages had been completed and power supply ensured in more than 20,000 villages Dr. Ambedkar Gram Sabha Yojna. Ms. Mayawati said that on assumption of power she inherited empty coffers and the serious problem of power. The government took necessary steps to meet power crisis without loss of time and long term schemes had been formulated to solve the problem. She said that these efforts were expected to result in the availability of 10,000 MW in the state in the five years. She said that almost all the previous governments failed to pay heed to power generation in keeping with the need of increasing population. She said that efforts of present government had resulted in 100 per cent payment of cane prices to the farmers in the year of 2006-07 and about 75 per cent in 2007-08. The remaining payment of cane dues would be made soon. The penalty for less weighing had been increased from Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 50,000. The crushing capacity had been increased by raising the number of sugar mills. The Chief Minister said that keeping in view the importance of education, 88,000 primary teachers were being recruited, besides ensuring qualitative improvement in education. Buildings of 5,500 primary and higher primary schools besides 27,000 class rooms had been constructed in one year. Decision had also been taken to hold students union’s elections according to the recommendations of the Lyngdoh committee. With a view to ensuring participation of private sector in technical education and higher education, emphasis had been laid on the creation of more and more employment opportunities. The initiative had for the first time been taken to implement the reservation system in the jobs being created in the private sector on voluntary basis. She said that schemes were being implemented for the development of rural areas and top most priority had been given to employment generation adding that the rule of previous governments had been confined to a few places. She said that for medical and health facilities her government had made a budgetary provision of Rs. 5626 crore for high class facilities in every area without any discrimination which was 20 per cent more than the last year. Besides, a provision of Rs. 383 crore had been made for the construction of primary and community health centres. Hospitals established earlier were being upgraded, expanded and modernised. Ms. Mayawati said that her government had been sensitive to the interests of the destitute, weaker sections and the poor from the very beginning. Decision had been taken for establishing several schools for handicapped persons for making them self-reliant. Besides it, decision had also been taken to establish a university at Lucknow for them on Public Private Partnership (PPP) basis. For the betterment and welfare of minorities, Madarsa Siksha Parishad had been constituted for the first time in the State. She said that a proposal for inclusion of socially, economically and educationally backward caste in the scheduled castes list had been sent to the Government of India. Request had to also been made to Central Government to bring constitutional amendment for providing benefit of reservation to the poor people of upper castes in the private sector. The backlog of reserved posts had been filled by way of drive. The recruitments under general category had also commenced. The Chief Minster especially referred to the efforts of state government for providing relief to the drought affected people in Bundelkhand. On the occasion she said that after taking the reigns of administration, she was told that the drought conditions of Bundelkhand were very severe. It was due to the insensitivity of previous government that the situation worsened in the last four years. She said that her government declared nine districts as drought affected without wasting time and relief and development works were taken up on war-footing. She said that she herself went to Bundelkhand and schemes worth Rs. 1500 crore were started. In each village food grain banks had been opened for providing foodgrains to the destitute and helpless persons, besides provision or community kitchen. The Minimum amount of agriculture subsidy had been increased from Rs. 250 to Rs. 1000 for small and marginal farmers. Under NREGA 6.37 lakh families were given employment and 3.13 crore man days employment was created. The Chief Minister said that the government had formulated a pragmatic middle of the path economic policy. Ganga Express-way project costing Rs. 40,000 crore had been prepared on PPP basis, which would connect the entire Uttar Pradesh to Delhi. The industrial development had been given a fillip by strengthening the infrastructure facilities in the State. Besides, VAT regime had been implemented and tax rates of necessary items have been reduced so as to bring down prices of essential commodities. Ms. Mayawati said that the foundation laid by Dr. Ambedkar for an egalitarian social order was carried forward by Manyawar Shri Kanshiram. No body had done any thing in memory and honour of such great persons. She said that the government took initiative in this direction and to perpetuate their memory to constructing memorials. Besides, several other schemes had been launched after the name of Saints, Gurus and great men, so that the people could take inspiration from their life and struggles. She said that the people had realised during one year of the rule that the promises made by the B.S.P. Government were not confined to paper, but were seen on the ground.

left out: Voters whose names were missing from the voters’ list, which prevented them from exercising their franchise, showing their identity cards during the repoll
at one of the booths in Bangalore on Monday.
The Election Commission is responsible for De-franchising large number people who were deprived of their right to vote as their names were missing from voter’s list and many of them those who had their photo identity cards also did not find their names in the voter’s list.
There was haste in conducting elections by the Election Commission, since the Election Commission has to postpone the date for formation of the New Government and not before 28 th May 2008.
With thousands of people not finding their names in the voters list, People must have the Right To Information on the exact percentage of names missing in the voter’s list.
People must also have the Right To Information on the type of chip used in the Electronic Voting Machine with the source code for transparency.
In Reserved Constituencies, the Major Opposition Parties have encouraged False Caste Certificate holders as candidates.
When objected during scrutiny they were not rejected but accepted since the Tehisildars had issued them certificates and EC said that they were helpless and only the Courts can help them.
The Election Commission must have a mechanism to ensure that genuine SC/STs only contested elections in Reserved Constituencies.
And no elections has to be conducted until all the people’s names are included in the voter’s list.
Till then the present election has to be scraped
for a Real Free and fair Election.

Welfare move: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati handing over papers and keys of a property to a beneficiary at a function to celebrate the completion of one year of the BSP government, in Lucknow on Tuesday. Cabinet Minister Satish Chandra Mishra is seen.
LUCKNOW: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati marked the completion of one year in office on Tuesday by inaugurating seven schemes and laying the foundation for 29 others. Safe motherhood for women living below the poverty line and English education from class I in primary schools were among a dozen decisions she announced. She also handed over the allotment letter and keys to seven beneficiaries of the Kanshi Ram housing scheme for the urban poor.
Launching a frontal attack on the Congress, the Samajwadi Party and the Bharatiya Janata Party, she said they were destined to be losers in State politics.
Ms. Mayawati assumed charge as the Chief Minister for the fourth time on May 13, 2007.
Congress charge sheet
Addressing an official function at the City Montessori School auditorium here, Ms. Mayawati slammed the Congress for distributing booklets containing false information. The Chief Minister was reacting to the charge sheet presented against her by the Congress on Monday. She also attacked the Samajwadi Party for falsely alleging that her government was targeting its workers.
Ms. Mayawati said the BJP was trying to gain political mileage from her decision to impose Value Added Tax in the State. No gain would accrue to the Opposition parties, she said.
She accused the United Progressive Alliance government of ignoring the Bahujan Samaj Party government’s demand for a special relief package of Rs. 80,000 crore for Bundelkhand and Purvanchal regions of the State. She had written to the Prime Minister on July 17 last year and met him on July 20. But no decision had been taken on the package, she said, charging the Centre with discrimination.
International airport
Ms. Mayawati said that the international airport proposed in Gautam Buddha Nagar district was delayed because of the Centre’s attitude towards U.P. She also held the Union government responsible for the price rise.
The Chief Minister said development and redressal of public grievances were the top priorities of the government. She claimed that the law and order situation had improved. The government was making sure that the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act was being strictly implemented while ensuring that it was not being misused.
She noted that despite inheriting empty coffers and non-cooperation of the Centre notwithstanding, the State government had taken several measures for the welfare of the people.
Among the new schemes inaugurated by the Chief Minister were a 375-metre-long eight-lane Mahamaya flyover over the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway and Okhla Barrage, built at a cost of Rs. 67 crore, a new power sub station of 1012 KV capacity and 26 new roads. She also laid the foundation for a Rs. 5,300 crore 1000 MW Anpara
D thermal power station and a 1584 KV sub-station.
Congress, BJP not pro-poor: Mayawati
Staff Correspondent
Mayawati
Chitradurga: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati has asserted that if the party comes to power at the Centre, it would bring in a constitutional amendment to provide reservation even to the poor among the forward castes.
Addressing a large gathering at the middle school ground here on Monday, she alleged that despite writing several letters to the Centre, the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Government had failed to act in this regard.
Ms. Mayawati said that her Government had also written to the Centre urging it to include Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath Christians and poor Muslims in the SC/ST category for giving them reservation in various sectors. There was no progress even on this, she charged.
Listing the “welfare” works she had undertaken in Uttar Pradesh, she said that her Government allotted three acres land to each poor and landless person of the State. The scheme had benefited over 25 lakh families in the State,” she claimed.
Backlog posts
Ms. Mayawati said that soon after coming to power, she had filled all the backlog posts reserved for SC/STs and backward classes.
“We have also constituted separate welfare departments for each backward community to ensure that they receive all the government benefits for their social and economic advancement,” she said. Holding the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party responsible for the backwardness of SC/STs, she alleged that in its over five decades of rule, the Congress did not consider poor people as the citizens of the country. The BJP gave prominence only to the rich and neglected the economically weaker sections of society.
“During elections, as both parties receive funds from capitalists, they later frame policies suiting their needs but not favouring the poor people,” she remarked.
Ms. Mayawati said that the condition of the labour class and farmers had remained the same even after 60 years of Independence.
Cost of living
The cost of living had been shooting up because of the price rise, but the earnings of workers has not been increased accordingly, the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister said.
With regard to the Assembly elections in Karnataka, she said that the party had fielded 219 candidates across the State without the support of any other parties. The BSP had given ticket to all sections of people.
“We have given ticket to 28 Muslims, but Congress has given ticket to only 12 Muslims,” she said.
BSP general secretaries P.G.R. Sindhia and Veer Singh; State unit president Manasandra Muniyappa, and State unit general secretaries M. Jayanna and Trishulpani Patel were present.
Dissidence, rebels pose a problem for all parties except BSP
SIRSI: All the major parties — the Congress, the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Janata Dal(Secular), and the Samajwadi Party — in Uttara Kannada district are facing the problem of rebels, dissidents and independent candidates. The second of the Assembly elections will be held in the district on May 16
In Karwar Assembly Constituency, Anand Asnotikar of the Congress, Prasad Karwarkar of the BJP and Ganapati Ulvekar, an independent and Congress rebel, are the main contenders.
In Sirsi, Congress candidate Ravindranath Naik, though popular, faces independent and party rebel Shanmukh Gouda. BJP candidate Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri is confident of getting the Havyak community vote. The Samajwadi Party candidate, Bheemanna Naik, is banking on the support of Namadhari community. Bahujan Samaj Party candidate, Ramanath Hegde, is in the arena.
Factors that may go against Congress
Polling in the second phase on May 16
Chitradurga: Unlike in the last Assembly elections, the road to success seems to be a thorny one for the Congress in Chitradurga district where polling for the second phase will be held on May 16.
The Congress appears to be losing ground in the district which has been its stronghold so far.
The factors that may adversely contribute to the party’s success are the redrawing of constituencies after the delimitation process, the emergence of rebellious candidates who are now contesting as independents, the growing support for independent candidates in some constituencies
The district, which earlier had seven constituencies, has six after the delimitation exercise.
In Chitradurga, the Congress candidate and former MLA, G. H. Tippareddy, who has won the elections for the three terms, has to overcome several hindrances to taste success. The increasing support for the Janata Dal (Secular) candidate, S.K. Basavarajan, is likely to be one among them.
Hiriyur is another constituency where the Congress candidate, Geeta Nandini Gowda, is facing stiff competition from four Congress rebels, including two former MLAs, A.V. Umpati from Holalkere and D. Sudhakar from Challakere. They are contesting as independent candidates after they lost their constituencies in the delimitation exercise, and the high command denied them ticket for Hiriyur.
An independent candidate, Gulihatti Shekhar, is giving sleepless nights to the former Congress MLA, B.G. Govindappa, in Hosadurga.
Since!
All the Opposition Parties commit sins!
Hence!
BSP Wins!
Attachment of vehicles for election work upsets many
Staff Correspondent
Many vehicles
hired by private
establishments
‘Owners will be paid for their services’
DAVANGERE: The district administration has commandeered a large number of private vehicles, including buses, cars and jeeps to transport electronic voting machines, election material and staff to various polling stations in the eight Assembly constituencies here.
Owners of these vehicles were taken by surprise at the sudden decision of the administration. However, they were assured by district officials that they would be suitably compensated. Traffic police personnel and officials of the Regional Transport Office had been vested with the responsibility of procuring the required number of vehicles.
Forcibly taken
Many private vehicle owners, who were surprised by the way in which their vehicles were forcibly taken away, said they would not have objected to lending them if they had been informed earlier. They said they should have been given time so that contracts for leasing out the vehicles could be formulated.
They expressed fear of losing business and reputation as the vehicles had been given out on hire to various private enterprises before the government decided to attach them.
Deputy Commissioner M.B. Dyaberi admitted that the district administration had attached their vehicles and added that owners would, however, be paid for their services. He said there were not enough vehicles with the district administration to ensure successful conduct of the elections, as it was a new district. Hence, private vehicles had to be taken away without notice.
He said over 800 buses were required to transport election material and election personnel, apart from 147 cars for sectoral officers. Another 170 cars and jeeps were required for police sectoral officers. He said he had sought provision of Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) buses as well.
Divisional Controller of KSRTC G.R. Venkateshwara Reddy told The Hindu that the district administration had sought 750 buses, of which 101 had already been given to the Police Department to transport its personnel to polling stations. The remaining buses would be given to the district administration on Wednesday for election-related work, he added.
He said that from Wednesday, for three days, limited bus services would available to commuters.
Liquor-making machines seized
Staff Correspondent
DAVANGERE: Two machines used to make spurious liquor were seized by the district administration here on Monday.
Deputy Commissioner M.B. Dyaberi told presspersons on Tuesday that the police raided a farmhouse in Kurki village of the district and found one such machine. They were in search of the owner of the farmhouse, who was absconding.
The authorities also seized another machine on the Tholahunese-Kurki main road near the Bhadra Canal. A few people who were carrying the machine, left it and fled after seeing the police, Mr. Dyaberi said.
Possessing and using machines meant to manufacture spurious liquor, especially during election time, are considered criminal and non-bailable offences, he said and added that a hunt was on for those responsible for acquiring them. The authorities also seized labels of a prominent whisky brand, he added.
Mr. Dyaberi said 158 cases of code violation had been registered in the district, and Rs. 70 lakh worth saris, liquor and unauthorised vehicles impounded.
He said he was told that certain educational institutions in the district run by some influential people were offering bogus identity cards to students, with the intention of manipulating the elections.
Mr. Dyaberi said he had convened a meeting of principals of all institutions in the district and apprised them of the legal consequences of such actions. He said the district administration would verify the identity cards of students of certain institutions against which complaints had been registered. Mr. Dyaberi told the principals not to be party to such activities, as criminal cases would be filed against them and their accomplices.
The managements of factories, industries, small-scale units and business houses in the district had been directed to give their employees a “paid holiday” on election day, Mr. Dyaberi said.
Poll panel frowns
Chief Election Commissioner has taken exception to parties involving Stree Shakti members in election campaigning.
The BSP, taking a lead in announcing candidates for the elections, had earlier come out with a list of 38 nominees in March, following it on Sunday with another 22 names.
Out of the 60 candidates whose names have been announced so far, 22 belong to upper castes.
A total of 13 candidates are Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath, who have made it to the two lists, while 20 others are from the backward classes. Five of the candidates are Muslims.
Three women also figure in the two lists.Buoyed by the substantial increase in its number of seats in the municipal elections held in 2007, the BSP plans to contest from all 70 constituencies in Delhi.
The party is fielding three sitting municipal councilors, taking into account their popularity in their areas, BSP Delhi unit President Jogram Bhatti, the party candidate from Karawal Nagar constituency, told.
He said the candidates for the remaining ten seats will be announced later in May.
“We have announced the candidates much ahead of other parties and this will help us to acquaint ourselves with the constituency.

The JD(S) Assembly candidate for Bellary City walked out of the electoral battlefield and shook hands with the Congress leaders.
Money matter
On record, Babu said that he had bid goodbye to the JD(S) to teach a lesson to the ‘communal forces’ (meaning the BJP). Mallikarjun Kharge said, “during elections many developments take place. Ambareesh did the negotiation.” When his attention was drawn to the rumours that huge money was exchanged between Ambareesh and Babu to get the latter to the Congress fold, Kharge just said, “I have no idea about it”.
Reacting sharply to the development, BJP leader Janardhan Reddy told media persons
“In Bellary people know that Diwakar Babu and his family is into goondagiri. His track record is so bad that people would further loathe him. In last 40 years, he and his Mundlur family members could do nothing for the development of Bellary
It is the SCs and STs (35,000 voters), Kurubas (25,000), SCs and and minority community (15,000), who hold the key for a candidate to emerge victorious

Other Opposition Parties commit lot of Sins!
In Shikarpura & Bellary BSP wins!
The BJP spokesperson Suresh Kumar has alleged that the Congress party has violated the model code of conduct by using national tri-colour with the emblem of Ashok
Chakra for canvassing.
video CD brought out by Niranjan Rao for campaigning shows the usage of national flag at three scenes. Even the cover of the CD shows the former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi with the tri-colour, alleged Suresh Kumar. He pointed out that the government schemes for schoolchildren and Yashaswini Schemes have also been used to garner votes.
The Congress party said that it released VCDs prepared for campaigning only after obtaining approval from the Election Commission.

BSP wins!
Puttur assembly constituency, also known as the areca capital of the State, has been in news in the entire State ever since former MLA T Shakunthala Shetty was denied ticket by the BJP.
The subsequent support by former MLA Urimajalu Ram Bhat, who is also the ‘political guru’ for a number of politicians including BJP State President D V Sadananda Gowda, to Ms Shetty compounded the problems for the BJP.
The BJP came to power in Puttur for the first time in 1978 and retained the seat in 1983 (Ram Bhat). However, in 1985, Mr Ram Bhat lost to Mr Vinay Kumar Sorake (Cong) and Mr Sorake succeeded in retaining the seat in 1989 as well. In 1994, Mr Sorake lost to Mr D V Sadananda Gowda (BJP) by a thin margin of 404 votes (While Sorake polled 52,611 votes, DV polled 53,015 votes). In 1999, Mr D V Sadananda Gowda retained the seat and in 2004, Mr Gowda fielded Ms Shakunthala Shetty who too won the seat.
The BJP has been winning the seat in Puttur since 1994. But the rift between Mr Gowda and Ms Shetty which resulted in the denial of ticket to Ms Shetty is no more a secret. Lack of a good reason for denial of ticket to Ms Shetty, not only invited the wrath of BJP workers, but also that of Mr Ram Bhat — who went on to organise a public meet to gather support for Ms Shetty (who is presently contesting as an Independent). The huge response for the meet, forced BJP to invite none other than Gujrath Chief Minister Narendra Modi to woo the voters. However, the poor response for Mr Modi’s visit has caught the BJP leaders on the wrong foot.
Interestingly, the BJP official candidate Mallika Prasad too was not keen on contesting against Ms Shetty as everyone (including Ms Prasad) know that the BJP had meted out injustice to Ms Shetty. An unofficial meeting convened a few days ago revealed that 43 out of 45 BJP village committee chiefs favoured Ms Shetty. But the BJP top leaders were adamant and they cared a damn for public opinion. While the leaders are supporting official candidate, many BJP workers are supporting Ms Shetty! In fact, a situation has arisen in Puttur that the BJP leaders have decided to defeat Ms Shetty at any cost. “It does not matter whether BJP wins or not, but Ms Shakunthala Shetty should not win,” is the ‘decision’ taken by the BJP leaders.
However, people have a feeling that if Ms Prasad is elected, she may not be available to the workers later, whereas Ms Shakunthala Shetty is known for her courage to solve any problem. JD(S) too has extended its support to Ms Shetty and it has not fielded any candidate in Puttur. JD(S) spokesperson Subbaiah Shetty said that the decision of not fielding any candidate came after Ms Shetty sought support from Mr H D Kumaraswamy.
On the other hand, the decision of Congress leaders to field District Youth Congress President Bondala Jagannath Shetty has irked the Congress leaders of Puttur. But a number of people opine that though Mr Bondala is a person who people love to hate, they agree that he can get the things done.
His ‘managerial’ skills of obtaining a ticket for himself and his ‘capacity’ of bringing Union Minister Renuka Choudhury speaks volumes about him. Mr Vinaykumar Sorake, who won as MLA twice is campaigning for Mr Shetty.
Congress workers are looking for an able leader in Puttur, especially to counter the BJP and RSS which is growing by leaps and bounds. “If there is any person in the district who can take on RSS supremo Dr Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat head-on, it is none other than Mr Bondala,” opines Ibrahim, an aged person. Ms Nalini Lokappa Gowda is contesting as an independent after she failed to get a ticket from the Congress. She too may ‘snatch’ a few Congress votes.
Finally, how many votes Ms Shakunthala Shetty is going to take away from BJP’s Mallika Prasad will decide whether Ms Shetty or Mr Shetty will make it to the Vidhana Soudha

Other Opposition Parties commit lot of Sins!
In Puttur BSP wins!
Caste will play a pivotal role
Tirthahalli taluk is no longer a place of rustic innocence as visualised by poet laureate Kuvempu in his works. The region is now a potpourri of problems like drastic depletion in areca yield due to fungal infection, deforestation in the name of development, displacement due to construction of reservoirs and problems of Naxalites. Voters are hoping sincere efforts from representativesthe persons who represent the constituency to address these problems.
Voters of Tirthahalli assembly segment have favoured non-Congress parties. In the 12 Assembly elections held so far, non-Congress candidates have registered victory eight times. This time the constituency will witness triangular contest between BJP candidate Araga Jnanendra, Kimmane Rathnakar of Congress and Kadtur Dinesh of Samajawadi party.
Nagara and Humcha hoblis of Hosanagar taluk and Nidige hobli of Shimoga taluk are included in Tirthahalli Assembly constituency after delimitation. The delimitation is expected to spring surprise result this election. Along with Vokkaliga, after delimitation Idiga and Havyaka Brahmin communities will also form the major chunk of population in the constituency and caste consideration is also expected to play an important role in the election.
Araga Jnanendra has scored hat trick by registering victory in 1994, 1999 and 2004. Mr Araga who is humble in his approach and is easily accessible to the mass is hoping for a straight fourth win. He is seeking votes on the basis of performance of BJP leaders in JD(S)-BJP coalition government. Gujarath Chief Minister Narendra Modi has campaigned for Araga Jnanendra in the constituency. Kimmane Rathnakar who lost against Araga Jnanendra last two elections enjoys sympathy of the voters. Kadtur Dinesh of Samajawadi party also stands fair chance of winning the election. Vokkaliga votes will split between Araga Jnanendra, Kimmane Rathnakar and Kadtur Dinesh. As Idiga votes are in significant number here, Kadtur Dinesh is expecting them with the grace of S Bangarappa.
With the emergence of BSP as strong force this time other opposition parties are finding it difficult to maintain the winning streak.

Budaren komatxoak jakinduria eta bakea lortzeko
Siddhārtha
Gautama, edo Buda, Nepalen familia aberats bati jaio zen gizona izan
zen 500 B.C. inguruan. Gizateriaren sufrimenduari irtenbidea aurkitzeko
interes handia hartu zuen. Aitak agindu ondoren, ez zuela agindu, ez
zuela zahartuko, gaixotu edo hil, meditatzeko asmoa zuen miseriagatik
eta sufrimenduaren sendabidea aurkitu zuen arte. 49 egun eta gau hartu
zituen meditazio zuhaitz baten azpian, ‘Bodhi Tree’ izenaz ere ezaguna,
‘esnatzea’ edo ’satori’ aurkitzeko. Ondoren, irakasten eta besteei
ulertzeko bidea erakutsi zuen. Budaren irakaspenak budismoaren oinarri
gisa balio dute. Irakaskuntza horiek orientazioa eta lasaitasun
handiagoa eman diezaieke edonori. Hona hemen Buda-tik 30 aipamen
jakinduria eta bakea lortzeko bidean laguntzeko.
1. “Sufrimenduaren erroa eranskina da”.
2.
“Amore eman haserrea, amore eman harrotasuna, eta askatu munduko
lotura. Tristurarik ez da inoiz jendea eta gauzak bere jabe izaten
saiatu ez direnentzat. “
3. “Garbitasuna eta garbitasuna norberaren araberakoak dira; Inork ezin du beste bat garbitu. “
4. “Gure bizitza gure gogoaren arabera moldatzen da; Uste duguna bihurtzen gara. “
5. “Bere burua konkistatzen duena batailabostean mila aldiz mila gizonek konkistatzen duten bat baino handiagoa da.”
6. “Bide espiritualean laguntzeko inor aurkitzen ez baduzu, ibili bakarrik. Ez dago heldutasunarekin laguntasunik. “
7. “Ez dago beldurrik, ez da inolako beldurrik desioz betetzen.”
8. “Zerbait merezi badu, egin bihotz osoz”.
9. “Zeure burua ahalegindu behar duzu. Budak bidea bakarrik adierazten du. “
10. “Jeloskorren sustraiak suntsitu dituztenek beti lasaitasuna dute”.
11. “Ez dago ezjakintasuna baino garutasunik.”
12. “Mundua heriotza eta gainbehera dago. Baina jakintsuak ez du minik egiten, munduaren izaerarekin konturatu “.
13. “Bata ez da zuhur hitz egiten duelako. Jakina dira gaixoak direnak, eta gorroto eta beldurrik gabe “.
14. “Haserre dagoen norbaiti erori ez zaionak irabazten du irabazteko gogorra den borroka”.
15. “Ez da nobleak izaki bizidunak zauritzen dituena. Nobleak dira inor minik ez dutenak “.
16.
“zaindu zure pentsamenduak, hitzak eta eskriturak. Hiru diziplina hauek
jakinduria hutsa lortzeko bidean azkartu egingo zaituzte “.
17.
“Kritika zuhur bat aurkitu behar baduzu zure akatsak seinalatzeko,
jarraitu harengandik ezkutuko altxorraren gida izango zenukeen bezala”.
18. “Ez ezazu zure arreta eman besteek egiten edo huts egiten dutenari; eman zer egiten duzun edo huts egiten duzunari. “
19. “Noiz bizi zara iluntasunean, zergatik ez duzu argirik bilatzen?”

baduzu, meditazioa jartzen dutenak inbidiatzera etorriko zara”.

Гаутама, альбо Буда, быў чалавекам, які нарадзіўся ў багатай сям’і ў
Непале каля 500 г. да н.э. Ён вельмі зацікаўлены ў пошуку рашэння пакут
чалавецтва. Пасля таго, як бацька не мог паабяцаць яму, што ён не
старэе, не захварэў і не памрэ, ён вырашыў разважаць, пакуль не знайшоў
лекі ад пакут і пакут. Яму спатрэбілася 49 дзён і ночы сядзення
медытацыі пад піпальным дрэвам, таксама вядомым як “дрэва Бодхі”, каб

Gautama ili Buda, bio je čovjek rođen za bogatu porodicu u Nepalu oko
500 B.C. Odličan je zainteresiran za pronalaženje rješenja za patnju
čovječanstva. Nakon što mu otac nije mogao obećati da neće ostariti,

Гаутама, или Буда, е бил човек, роден в богато семейство в Непал около
500 г. пр.н.е. Той прояви голям интерес да намери решение на страданието
на човечеството. След като баща му не можеше да му обещае, че няма да
остарее, да се разболее или да умре, той тръгна да медитира, докато не
намери лечението за мизерия и страдание. Отнеха му 49 дни и нощи на
седнала медитация под дърво на Peepal, известно още като „Bodhi Tree“,
за да намери „пробуждане“ или „Satori“. След това той се занимаваше с
преподаване и показване на другия път към разбирането. Ученията на Буда
служат като основата на будизма. Тези преподаватели могат лесно да дадат

Siddhārtha
Gautama, or Buddha, was a man born to a rich family in Nepal around 500
B.C. He took a great interest in finding a solution to the suffering of
humanity. After his father couldn’t promise him that he wouldn’t grow
old, get sick, or die, he set out to meditate until he found the cure
for misery and suffering. It took him 49 days and nights of sitting
meditation under a peepal tree, also known as the ‘Bodhi Tree’, to find
‘awakenment’ or ‘satori’. He then went about teaching and showing others
the way to understanding. The teachings of Buddha serve as the
foundation of Buddhism. These teaching can easily give guidance and
greater peace of mind to anyone. Here are 30 quotes from Buddha to help
guide you toward wisdom and peace.
1. “The root of suffering is attachment.”
2.
“Give up anger, give up pride, and free yourself from worldly bondage.
No sorrow can befall those who never try to possess people and things as
their own.”
3. “Purity and impurity depend on oneself; no one can purify another.”
4. “Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think.”
5. “One who conquers himself is greater than another who conquers a thousand times a thousand men on the battlefield.”
6. “If you find no one to support you on the spiritual path, walk alone. There is no companionship with the immature.”
7. “There is no fear for one whose mind is not filled with desires.”
8. “If anything is worth doing, do it with all your heart.”
9. “You yourself must strive. The Buddhas only point the way.”
10. “Those who have destroyed the roots of jealousy have peace of mind always.”
11. “There is no impurity greater than ignorance.”
12. “The world is afflicted by death and decay. But the wise do not grieve, having realized the nature of the world.”
13. “One is not wise because he talks a good deal. They are wise who are patient, and free from hate and fear.”
14. “Whoever doesn’t flare up at someone who’s angry wins a battle hard to win.”
15. “One is not noble who injures living creatures. They are noble who hurt no one.”
16. “Guard your thoughts, words, and deeds. These three disciplines will speed you along the path to pure wisdom.”
17. “Should you find a wise critic to point out your faults, follow him as you would a guide to hidden treasure.”
18. “Do not give your attention to what others do or fail to do; give it to what you do or fail to do.”
19. “When are you living in darkness, why don’t you look for light?”
20. “When watching after yourself, you watch after others. When watching after others, you watch after yourself.”
21. “Make your mind pure as a silversmith blows away the impurities of silver, little by little, instant by instant.”
22. “Don’t try to build your happiness on the unhappiness of others. You will be enmeshed in a net of hatred.”
23. “The wise are disciplined in body, speech, and mind. They are well controlled indeed.”
24. “Light the lamp within; strive hard to attain wisdom.”
25. “Resolutely train yourself to attain peace.”
26.
“Meditation brings wisdom; lack of meditation leaves ignorance. Know
well what leads you forward and what holds you back, and choose the path
that leads to wisdom.”
27. “Give, even if you only have a little.”
28. “Just as a solid rock is not shaken by the storm, even so the wise are not affected by praise or blame.”
29. “Don’t waste a moment, for wasted moments send you on the downward course.”
30.
“If you forget the joy of life and get caught in the pleasures of the
world, you will come to envy those who put meditation first.”

गौतम, या बुद्ध, नेपाल में एक अमीर परिवार के लिए पैदा हुए व्यक्ति थे।
उन्होंने मानवता की पीड़ा का समाधान खोजने में बहुत रुचि ली। उसके पिता ने
यह वादा नहीं किया कि वह बूढ़ा नहीं होगा, बीमार हो जाएगा, या मर जाएगा, वह
तब तक ध्यान करने के लिए तैयार हो जाएगा जब तक कि उसे दुख और पीड़ा का
इलाज नहीं मिला। उसे 49 दिन और रात में एक पीपल के पेड़ के नीचे बैठने के
लिए, जिसे ‘बोधि ट्री’ के रूप में भी जाना जाता है, को ‘जागृति’ या ‘सटोरि’
के रूप में भी जाना जाता है। वह तब पढ़ाने और दूसरों को समझने का रास्ता
दिखाने के बारे में गया था। बुद्ध की शिक्षाएं बौद्ध धर्म की नींव के रूप
में काम करती हैं। ये शिक्षण आसानी से मार्गदर्शन और किसी को भी मन की अधिक
शांति दे सकते हैं। यहां बुद्ध से 30 उद्धरण हैं जो आपको ज्ञान और शांति
की ओर मार्गदर्शन करने में मदद करते हैं।
1. “दुख की जड़ लगाव है।”
2.
“क्रोध छोड़ दें, गर्व छोड़ दें, और अपने आप को सांसारिक बंधन से मुक्त
करें। कोई भी दुःख उन लोगों को नहीं कर सकता है जो कभी भी लोगों और चीजों
को अपने रूप में रखने की कोशिश नहीं करते हैं। ”
3. “पवित्रता और अशुद्धता स्वयं पर निर्भर करती है; कोई भी दूसरे को शुद्ध नहीं कर सकता। ”
4. “हमारा जीवन हमारे दिमाग के आकार का है; जैसा हम सोचते हैं, वैसे हो जाते हैं।”
5. “जो खुद को जीतता है वह दूसरे से बड़ा है जो युद्ध के मैदान में एक हजार बार हजार बार जीतता है।”
6. “यदि आपको आध्यात्मिक पथ पर आपका समर्थन करने वाला कोई नहीं मिलता है, तो अकेले चलें। अपरिपक्व के साथ कोई साहचर्य नहीं है। ”
7. “एक के लिए कोई डर नहीं है जिसका मन इच्छाओं से भरा नहीं है।”
8. “अगर कुछ भी करने लायक है, तो इसे अपने दिल से करें।”
9. “आपको खुद प्रयास करना चाहिए। बुद्ध केवल रास्ते को इंगित करते हैं। ”
10. “जिन लोगों ने ईर्ष्या की जड़ों को नष्ट कर दिया है, उनमें मन की शांति हमेशा होती है।”
11. “अज्ञानता से अधिक कोई अशुद्धता नहीं है।”
12. “दुनिया मृत्यु और क्षय से पीड़ित है। लेकिन बुद्धिमान शोक नहीं करते हैं, दुनिया की प्रकृति का एहसास हुआ। ”
13.
“एक बुद्धिमान नहीं है क्योंकि वह एक अच्छा सौदा बात करता है। वे
बुद्धिमान हैं जो धैर्य रखते हैं, और नफरत और भय से मुक्त हैं। ”
14. “जो कोई भी किसी ऐसे व्यक्ति पर भड़क नहीं जाता है जो गुस्से में जीतने के लिए कड़ी मेहनत करता है।”
15. “एक महान नहीं है जो जीवित प्राणियों को घायल करता है। वे महान हैं जिन्होंने किसी को चोट नहीं पहुंचाई। ”
16. “अपने विचारों, शब्दों और कर्मों की रक्षा करें। ये तीन विषय आपको शुद्ध ज्ञान के मार्ग के साथ गति देंगे। ”
17.
“क्या आपको अपने दोषों को इंगित करने के लिए एक बुद्धिमान आलोचक ढूंढना
चाहिए, उसका पालन करें क्योंकि आप छिपे हुए खजाने के लिए एक मार्गदर्शक
होंगे।”
18. “दूसरों को क्या करना है या क्या करने में विफल है, इस पर अपना ध्यान न दें; आप जो करते हैं उसे दें या करने में असफल रहें। ”
19. “आप अंधेरे में कब रह रहे हैं, आप प्रकाश की तलाश क्यों नहीं करते?”
20. “जब आप अपने बाद देखते हैं, तो आप दूसरों के बाद देखते हैं। दूसरों के बाद देखने पर, आप अपने पीछे देखते हैं। ”
21. “अपने दिमाग को शुद्ध बनाएं क्योंकि एक सिल्वरस्मिथ चांदी की अशुद्धियों को उड़ा देता है, थोड़ा -थोड़ा करके, तुरंत तुरंत।”
22. “दूसरों की नाखुशी पर अपनी खुशी बनाने की कोशिश न करें। आप घृणा के जाल में घिर जाएंगे। ”
23. “बुद्धिमान शरीर, भाषण और मन में अनुशासित हैं। वे वास्तव में अच्छी तरह से नियंत्रित हैं। ”
24. “दीपक को भीतर रोशन करें; ज्ञान प्राप्त करने के लिए कड़ी मेहनत करें। ”
25. “शांति प्राप्त करने के लिए अपने आप को प्रशिक्षित करें।”
26.
“ध्यान ज्ञान लाता है; ध्यान का अभाव अज्ञानता छोड़ देता है। अच्छी तरह से
जानें कि क्या आपको आगे बढ़ाता है और क्या आपको वापस पकड़ता है, और वह
रास्ता चुनें जो ज्ञान की ओर ले जाता है। ”
27. “दे दो, भले ही आपके पास केवल थोड़ा हो।”
28. “जैसे ही एक ठोस चट्टान तूफान से हिल नहीं जाती है, यहां तक कि बुद्धिमान भी प्रशंसा या दोष से प्रभावित नहीं होते हैं।”
29. “एक पल बर्बाद न करें, व्यर्थ क्षणों के लिए आपको नीचे की ओर भेज दें।”
30.
“यदि आप जीवन की खुशी को भूल जाते हैं और दुनिया के सुखों में फंस जाते
हैं, तो आप उन लोगों से ईर्ष्या करने के लिए आएंगे जो पहले ध्यान डालते
हैं।”

উপায় দেখিয়েছিলেন। বুদ্ধের শিক্ষাগুলি বৌদ্ধধর্মের ভিত্তি হিসাবে কাজ

করবেন।”

20. “নিজের পিছনে দেখার সময় আপনি অন্যদের অনুসরণ করেন। অন্যদের অনুসরণ করার সময়, আপনি নিজের পিছনে দেখেন। “

বেছে নিন যা জ্ঞানের দিকে পরিচালিত করে ””
27. “আপনার কেবল কিছুটা থাকলেও দিন।”

29. “একটি মুহূর্ত নষ্ট করবেন না, নষ্ট মুহুর্তগুলির জন্য আপনাকে নীচের দিকে কোর্সে প্রেরণ করুন।”
30.
“আপনি যদি জীবনের আনন্দ ভুলে যান এবং বিশ্বের আনন্দে ধরা পড়েন তবে আপনি
যারা ধ্যানকে প্রথমে রেখেছিলেন তাদের vy র্ষা করতে আসবেন।”

રાખવાનો પ્રયત્ન કરતા નથી. “
“.“ શુદ્ધતા અને અશુદ્ધતા પોતાના પર નિર્ભર છે; કોઈ બીજાને શુદ્ધ કરી શકશે નહીં. “
“.“ આપણું જીવન આપણા મગજમાં આકારનું છે; આપણે જે વિચારીએ છીએ તે આપણે બનીએ છીએ. “

Siddhārtha
Gautama, atau Buddha, adalah seorang pria yang lahir dari keluarga kaya
di Nepal sekitar 500 SM. Dia menaruh minat besar untuk menemukan solusi
untuk penderitaan umat manusia. Setelah ayahnya tidak bisa berjanji
kepadanya bahwa dia tidak akan menjadi tua, sakit, atau mati, dia mulai
bermeditasi sampai dia menemukan obat untuk kesengsaraan dan
penderitaan. Butuh waktu 49 hari dan malam meditasi duduk di bawah pohon
peepal, juga dikenal sebagai ‘pohon bodhi’, untuk menemukan ‘bangun’
atau ’satori’. Dia kemudian mulai mengajar dan menunjukkan kepada orang
lain cara untuk memahami. Ajaran Buddha berfungsi sebagai dasar
Buddhisme. Pengajaran ini dapat dengan mudah memberikan bimbingan dan
ketenangan pikiran yang lebih besar kepada siapa pun. Berikut adalah 30
kutipan dari Buddha untuk membantu membimbing Anda menuju kebijaksanaan
dan kedamaian.
1. “Akar penderitaan adalah keterikatan.”
2.
“Menyalakan kemarahan, menyerah bangga, dan membebaskan diri Anda dari
perbudakan duniawi. Tidak ada kesedihan yang bisa menimpa mereka yang
tidak pernah mencoba memiliki orang dan hal -hal sebagai milik mereka. ”
3. “Kemurnian dan pengotor bergantung pada diri sendiri; Tidak ada yang bisa memurnikan yang lain. “
4. “Hidup kita dibentuk oleh pikiran kita; kita menjadi apa yang kita pikirkan. “
5. “Seseorang yang menaklukkan dirinya lebih besar dari yang lain yang menaklukkan seribu kali seribu orang di medan perang.”
6.
“Jika Anda tidak menemukan siapa pun untuk mendukung Anda di jalan
spiritual, berjalan sendirian. Tidak ada persahabatan dengan yang belum
dewasa. ”
7. “Tidak ada rasa takut untuk orang yang pikirannya tidak dipenuhi dengan keinginan.”
8. “Jika ada yang layak dilakukan, lakukan dengan sepenuh hati.”
9. “Anda sendiri harus berjuang. Buddha hanya menunjukkan jalan. ”
10. “Mereka yang telah menghancurkan akar kecemburuan selalu memiliki ketenangan pikiran.”
11. “Tidak ada pengotor lebih besar dari ketidaktahuan.”
12. “Dunia menderita kematian dan pembusukan. Tetapi orang bijak tidak berduka, setelah menyadari sifat dunia. ”
13. “Seseorang tidak bijaksana karena dia berbicara banyak. Mereka bijak yang sabar, dan bebas dari kebencian dan ketakutan. ”
14. “Siapa pun yang tidak menyala pada seseorang yang marah memenangkan pertempuran yang sulit dimenangkan.”
15. “Seseorang bukan bangsawan yang melukai makhluk hidup. Mereka adalah bangsawan yang tidak menyakiti siapa pun. ”
16.
“Jaga pikiran, kata -kata, dan perbuatan Anda. Tiga disiplin ilmu ini
akan mempercepat Anda di sepanjang jalan menuju kebijaksanaan murni. ”
17.
“Jika Anda menemukan kritik yang bijak untuk menunjukkan kesalahan
Anda, ikuti dia seperti Anda akan menjadi panduan untuk harta yang
tersembunyi.”
18.
“Jangan berikan perhatian Anda pada apa yang dilakukan atau gagal
dilakukan orang lain; berikan apa yang Anda lakukan atau gagal lakukan. “
19. “Kapan Anda hidup dalam kegelapan, mengapa Anda tidak mencari cahaya?”
20. “Saat menonton sendiri, Anda menonton orang lain. Saat menonton orang lain, Anda menonton diri sendiri. “
21. “Buat pikiran Anda murni sebagai seorang perak meledakkan kotoran perak, sedikit demi sedikit, instan demi instan.”
22. “Jangan mencoba membangun kebahagiaan Anda di atas ketidakbahagiaan orang lain. Anda akan terjerat dalam jaring kebencian. ”
23. “Orang bijak didisiplinkan dalam tubuh, ucapan, dan pikiran. Mereka memang terkontrol dengan baik. ”
24. “Nyalakan lampu di dalamnya; berusaha keras untuk mencapai kebijaksanaan. ”
25. “Latih dengan tegas untuk mencapai kedamaian.”
26.
“Meditasi membawa kebijaksanaan; Kurangnya meditasi meninggalkan
ketidaktahuan. Ketahui dengan baik apa yang membawa Anda maju dan apa
yang menahan Anda, dan pilih jalan yang mengarah pada kebijaksanaan. “
27. “Berikan, bahkan jika Anda hanya memiliki sedikit.”
28.
“Sama seperti batu yang solid tidak terguncang oleh badai, meskipun
yang bijak tidak terpengaruh oleh pujian atau kesalahan.”
29. “Jangan buang waktu sejenak, untuk saat -saat yang terbuang mengirimmu ke bawah.”
30.
“Jika Anda melupakan kegembiraan hidup dan terjebak dalam kesenangan
dunia, Anda akan iri dengan mereka yang mengutamakan meditasi.”

ಗೌತಮ, ಅಥವಾ ಬುದ್ಧ, ನೇಪಾಳದ ಶ್ರೀಮಂತ ಕುಟುಂಬಕ್ಕೆ 500 ಬಿ.ಸಿ. ಮಾನವೀಯತೆಯ
ದುಃಖಕ್ಕೆ ಪರಿಹಾರವನ್ನು ಕಂಡುಕೊಳ್ಳುವಲ್ಲಿ ಅವರು ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನ ಆಸಕ್ತಿ ವಹಿಸಿದರು. ಅವನು
ವಯಸ್ಸಾಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ, ಅನಾರೋಗ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ ಒಳಗಾಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ, ಅಥವಾ ಸಾಯುವುದಿಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ಅವನ
ತಂದೆಗೆ ಭರವಸೆ ನೀಡದ ನಂತರ, ದುಃಖ ಮತ್ತು ಸಂಕಟಗಳಿಗೆ ಪರಿಹಾರವನ್ನು
ಕಂಡುಕೊಳ್ಳುವವರೆಗೂ ಅವನು ಧ್ಯಾನ ಮಾಡಲು ಹೊರಟನು. ‘ಜಾಗೃತಿ’ ಅಥವಾ ‘ಸಾಟೋರಿ’ ಅನ್ನು
ಕಂಡುಹಿಡಿಯಲು ‘ಬೋಧಿ ಮರ’ ಎಂದೂ ಕರೆಯಲ್ಪಡುವ ಪೀಪಲ್ ಮರದ ಕೆಳಗೆ ಕುಳಿತುಕೊಳ್ಳುವ
ಧ್ಯಾನದ 49 ಹಗಲು ಮತ್ತು ರಾತ್ರಿಗಳನ್ನು ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಂಡಿತು. ನಂತರ ಅವರು ಇತರರಿಗೆ
ತಿಳುವಳಿಕೆಯ ಮಾರ್ಗವನ್ನು ಕಲಿಸುವ ಮತ್ತು ತೋರಿಸುವ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಹೋದರು. ಬುದ್ಧನ ಬೋಧನೆಗಳು
ಬೌದ್ಧಧರ್ಮದ ಅಡಿಪಾಯವಾಗಿ ಕಾರ್ಯನಿರ್ವಹಿಸುತ್ತವೆ. ಈ ಬೋಧನೆಯು ಯಾರಿಗಾದರೂ
ಮಾರ್ಗದರ್ಶನ ಮತ್ತು ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನ ಮನಸ್ಸಿನ ಶಾಂತಿಯನ್ನು ನೀಡುತ್ತದೆ. ಬುದ್ಧಿವಂತಿಕೆ
ಮತ್ತು ಶಾಂತಿಯ ಕಡೆಗೆ ನಿಮಗೆ ಮಾರ್ಗದರ್ಶನ ನೀಡಲು ಸಹಾಯ ಮಾಡಲು ಬುದ್ಧನ 30 ಉಲ್ಲೇಖಗಳು
ಇಲ್ಲಿವೆ.
1. “ದುಃಖದ ಮೂಲವು ಬಾಂಧವ್ಯವಾಗಿದೆ.”
2.
“ಕೋಪವನ್ನು ಬಿಟ್ಟುಬಿಡಿ, ಹೆಮ್ಮೆಯನ್ನು ಬಿಟ್ಟುಬಿಡಿ ಮತ್ತು ಲೌಕಿಕ ಬಂಧನದಿಂದ
ನಿಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಮುಕ್ತಗೊಳಿಸಿ. ಜನರು ಮತ್ತು ವಸ್ತುಗಳನ್ನು ತಮ್ಮದೇ ಆದಂತೆ ಹೊಂದಲು
ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಿಸದವರಿಗೆ ಯಾವುದೇ ದುಃಖವು ಸಂಭವಿಸುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ”
3. “ಪರಿಶುದ್ಧತೆ ಮತ್ತು ಅಶುದ್ಧತೆಯು ತನ್ನನ್ನು ಅವಲಂಬಿಸಿರುತ್ತದೆ; ಇನ್ನೊಬ್ಬರನ್ನು ಶುದ್ಧೀಕರಿಸಲು ಸಾಧ್ಯವಿಲ್ಲ. ”
4. “ನಮ್ಮ ಜೀವನವು ನಮ್ಮ ಮನಸ್ಸಿನಿಂದ ರೂಪಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟಿದೆ; ನಾವು ಯೋಚಿಸುತ್ತೇವೆ. “
5. “ತನ್ನನ್ನು ವಶಪಡಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವವನು ಯುದ್ಧಭೂಮಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಸಾವಿರ ಬಾರಿ ಸಾವಿರ ಬಾರಿ ಜಯಿಸುವ ಇನ್ನೊಬ್ಬರಿಗಿಂತ ದೊಡ್ಡವನು.”
6. “ಆಧ್ಯಾತ್ಮಿಕ ಹಾದಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಬೆಂಬಲಿಸಲು ನೀವು ಯಾರೂ ಕಾಣದಿದ್ದರೆ, ಏಕಾಂಗಿಯಾಗಿ ನಡೆಯಿರಿ. ಅಪಕ್ವತೆಯೊಂದಿಗೆ ಯಾವುದೇ ಒಡನಾಟವಿಲ್ಲ. ”
7. “ಅವರ ಮನಸ್ಸು ಆಸೆಗಳಿಂದ ತುಂಬಿರದವರಿಗೆ ಭಯವಿಲ್ಲ.”
8. “ಏನಾದರೂ ಮಾಡಲು ಯೋಗ್ಯವಾಗಿದ್ದರೆ, ಅದನ್ನು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಹೃದಯದಿಂದ ಮಾಡಿ.”
9. “ನೀವೇ ಶ್ರಮಿಸಬೇಕು. ಬುದ್ಧರು ಮಾತ್ರ ದಾರಿ ತೋರಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ. “
10. “ಅಸೂಯೆಯ ಬೇರುಗಳನ್ನು ನಾಶಪಡಿಸಿದವರಿಗೆ ಯಾವಾಗಲೂ ಮನಸ್ಸಿನ ಶಾಂತಿ ಇರುತ್ತದೆ.”
11. “ಅಜ್ಞಾನಕ್ಕಿಂತ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನ ಅಶುದ್ಧತೆ ಇಲ್ಲ.”
12. “ಜಗತ್ತು ಸಾವು ಮತ್ತು ಕೊಳೆಯುವಿಕೆಯಿಂದ ಬಳಲುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಆದರೆ ಬುದ್ಧಿವಂತರು ಪ್ರಪಂಚದ ಸ್ವರೂಪವನ್ನು ಅರಿತುಕೊಂಡ ನಂತರ ದುಃಖಿಸುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ”
13.
“ಒಬ್ಬನು ಬುದ್ಧಿವಂತನಲ್ಲ ಏಕೆಂದರೆ ಅವನು ಒಳ್ಳೆಯ ವ್ಯವಹಾರವನ್ನು ಮಾತನಾಡುತ್ತಾನೆ.
ಅವರು ತಾಳ್ಮೆಯಿಂದಿರುವ ಬುದ್ಧಿವಂತರು ಮತ್ತು ದ್ವೇಷ ಮತ್ತು ಭಯದಿಂದ
ಮುಕ್ತರಾಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ”
14. “ಕೋಪಗೊಂಡ ಯಾರೊಬ್ಬರ ಮೇಲೆ ಯಾರು ಭುಗಿಲೆದ್ದಿಲ್ಲ, ಗೆಲ್ಲಲು ಕಷ್ಟಪಟ್ಟು ಯುದ್ಧವನ್ನು ಗೆಲ್ಲುತ್ತಾರೆ.”
15. “ಒಬ್ಬರು ಜೀವಂತ ಜೀವಿಗಳನ್ನು ಗಾಯಗೊಳಿಸುವ ಉದಾತ್ತನಲ್ಲ. ಅವರು ಯಾರನ್ನೂ ನೋಯಿಸದ ಉದಾತ್ತರು. “
16.
“ನಿಮ್ಮ ಆಲೋಚನೆಗಳು, ಪದಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಕಾರ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ಕಾಪಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಿ. ಈ ಮೂರು ವಿಭಾಗಗಳು
ಶುದ್ಧ ಬುದ್ಧಿವಂತಿಕೆಯ ಹಾದಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಮ್ಮನ್ನು ವೇಗಗೊಳಿಸುತ್ತವೆ. ”
17.
“ನಿಮ್ಮ ದೋಷಗಳನ್ನು ಎತ್ತಿ ತೋರಿಸಲು ನೀವು ಬುದ್ಧಿವಂತ ವಿಮರ್ಶಕನನ್ನು ಕಂಡುಕೊಂಡರೆ,
ನೀವು ಗುಪ್ತ ನಿಧಿಗೆ ಮಾರ್ಗದರ್ಶನ ನೀಡುವಂತೆ ಅವನನ್ನು ಅನುಸರಿಸಿ.”
18.
“ಇತರರು ಏನು ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾರೆ ಅಥವಾ ಮಾಡಲು ವಿಫಲರಾಗುತ್ತಾರೆ ಎಂಬುದರ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ನಿಮ್ಮ
ಗಮನವನ್ನು ನೀಡಬೇಡಿ; ನೀವು ಏನು ಮಾಡುತ್ತೀರಿ ಅಥವಾ ಮಾಡಲು ವಿಫಲರಾಗಿದ್ದೀರಿ ಎಂದು
ನೀಡಿ. ”
19. “ನೀವು ಯಾವಾಗ ಕತ್ತಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಸಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದೀರಿ, ನೀವು ಏಕೆ ಬೆಳಕನ್ನು ಹುಡುಕಬಾರದು?”
20. “ನಿಮ್ಮ ನಂತರ ನೋಡುವಾಗ, ನೀವು ಇತರರ ನಂತರ ನೋಡುತ್ತೀರಿ. ಇತರರ ನಂತರ ನೋಡುವಾಗ, ನೀವು ನಿಮ್ಮ ನಂತರ ನೋಡುತ್ತೀರಿ. ”
21.
22. “ಇತರರ ಅಸಮಾಧಾನದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಸಂತೋಷವನ್ನು ಬೆಳೆಸಲು ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಿಸಬೇಡಿ. ನೀವು ದ್ವೇಷದ ನಿವ್ವಳದಲ್ಲಿ ತೊಡಗಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತೀರಿ. ”
23. “ಬುದ್ಧಿವಂತರು ದೇಹ, ಮಾತು ಮತ್ತು ಮನಸ್ಸಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಶಿಸ್ತುಬದ್ಧರಾಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಅವುಗಳನ್ನು ನಿಜಕ್ಕೂ ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ನಿಯಂತ್ರಿಸಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ”
24. “ಒಳಗೆ ದೀಪವನ್ನು ಬೆಳಗಿಸಿ; ಬುದ್ಧಿವಂತಿಕೆಯನ್ನು ಸಾಧಿಸಲು ಶ್ರಮಿಸಿ. ”
25. “ಶಾಂತಿಯನ್ನು ಸಾಧಿಸಲು ದೃ ut ನಿಶ್ಚಯದಿಂದ ತರಬೇತಿ ನೀಡಿ.”
26.
“ಧ್ಯಾನವು ಬುದ್ಧಿವಂತಿಕೆಯನ್ನು ತರುತ್ತದೆ; ಧ್ಯಾನದ ಕೊರತೆಯು ಅಜ್ಞಾನವನ್ನು
ಬಿಡುತ್ತದೆ. ನಿಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಮುಂದಕ್ಕೆ ಕರೆದೊಯ್ಯುವ ಮತ್ತು ನಿಮ್ಮನ್ನು
ಹಿಂತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವದನ್ನು ಯಾವುದು ಕರೆದೊಯ್ಯುತ್ತದೆ ಎಂಬುದನ್ನು ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ
ತಿಳಿದುಕೊಳ್ಳಿ ಮತ್ತು ಬುದ್ಧಿವಂತಿಕೆಗೆ ಕಾರಣವಾಗುವ ಮಾರ್ಗವನ್ನು ಆರಿಸಿ. ”
27. “ನೀವು ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಹೊಂದಿದ್ದರೂ ಸಹ ನೀಡಿ.”
28. “ಘನ ಬಂಡೆಯು ಚಂಡಮಾರುತದಿಂದ ನಡುಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲವಾದ್ದರಿಂದ, ಬುದ್ಧಿವಂತರು ಹೊಗಳಿಕೆ ಅಥವಾ ದೂಷಣೆಯಿಂದ ಪ್ರಭಾವಿತರಾಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.”
29. “ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಸಮಯ ವ್ಯರ್ಥ ಮಾಡಬೇಡಿ, ಏಕೆಂದರೆ ವ್ಯರ್ಥವಾದ ಕ್ಷಣಗಳು ನಿಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಕೆಳಮುಖವಾಗಿ ಕಳುಹಿಸುತ್ತವೆ.”
30.
“ನೀವು ಜೀವನದ ಸಂತೋಷವನ್ನು ಮರೆತು ಪ್ರಪಂಚದ ಸಂತೋಷಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿಹಾಕಿಕೊಂಡರೆ,
ಧ್ಯಾನವನ್ನು ಮೊದಲ ಸ್ಥಾನದಲ್ಲಿಟ್ಟುಕೊಳ್ಳುವವರನ್ನು ನೀವು ಅಸೂಯೆಪಡುತ್ತೀರಿ.”

Gautama 또는 Buddha는 기원전 500 년경 네팔의 부유 한 가정에서 태어난 남자였습니다. 그는 인류의 고통에 대한
해결책을 찾는 데 큰 관심을 보였습니다. 그의 아버지가 나이가 들거나 아프거나 죽지 않을 것이라고 약속하지 않았을 때, 그는
불행과 고통에 대한 치료법을 발견 할 때까지 명상하기 시작했습니다. ‘깨어 난 나무’또는‘Satori’를 찾기 위해서는‘bodhi
tree’라고도 알려진 엿보는 나무 아래에서 49 일간의 밤낮으로 앉아있었습니다. 그런 다음 다른 사람들에게 이해하는 방법을
가르치고 보여주었습니다. 부처의 가르침은 불교의 기초가됩니다. 이러한 가르침은 누구에게나 쉽게 안내와 마음의 평화를 줄 수
있습니다. 지혜와 평화로 당신을 인도하는 데 도움이되는 부처님의 30 개의 인용문이 있습니다.
1.“고통의 근원은 애착입니다.”
2.“분노를 포기하고, 자부심을 포기하고, 세상의 속박에서 벗어나십시오. 사람과 사물을 자신의 것으로 소유하려고하지 않는 사람들은 슬픔이 없습니다.”
3.“순결과 불순물은 자신에게 의존한다. 아무도 다른 사람을 정화 할 수 없습니다.”
4.“우리의 삶은 우리의 마음에 의해 형성됩니다. 우리는 우리가 생각하는 것이됩니다.”
5. “자신을 정복하는 사람은 전장에서 천 번의 남자를 수천 번 정복하는 다른 사람보다 더 큽니다.”
6.“영적인 길을 지원할 사람이 없다면 혼자 걸으십시오. 미성숙과의 동반자는 없습니다.”
7.“마음이 욕망으로 가득 차 있지 않은 사람에 대한 두려움은 없습니다.”
8.“할 가치가 있다면, 마음을 다해하십시오.”
9.“당신은 스스로 노력해야합니다. 불상은 길을 가리 킵니다.”

Siddhārtha
Gautama, atau Buddha, adalah seorang lelaki yang dilahirkan pada
keluarga yang kaya di Nepal sekitar 500 B.C. Dia mengambil minat yang
besar untuk mencari penyelesaian kepada penderitaan manusia. Selepas
bapanya tidak dapat menjanjikannya bahawa dia tidak akan menjadi tua,
sakit, atau mati, dia berangkat untuk bermeditasi sehingga dia mendapati
penawar untuk kesengsaraan dan penderitaan. Ia mengambil masa 49 hari
dan malam meditasi duduk di bawah pokok peepal, yang juga dikenali
sebagai ‘Bodhi Tree’, untuk mencari ‘Awakenment’ atau ‘Satori’. Dia
kemudian pergi mengajar dan menunjukkan cara lain untuk memahami. Ajaran
Buddha berfungsi sebagai asas Buddhisme. Pengajaran ini dengan mudah
dapat memberi bimbingan dan ketenangan fikiran yang lebih besar kepada
sesiapa sahaja. Berikut adalah 30 petikan dari Buddha untuk membantu
membimbing anda ke arah kebijaksanaan dan kedamaian.
1. “Akar penderitaan adalah lampiran.”
2.
“Menyerah kemarahan, melepaskan kebanggaan, dan membebaskan diri dari
perhambaan duniawi. Tidak ada kesedihan yang dapat menimpa mereka yang
tidak pernah cuba memiliki orang dan benda -benda sebagai mereka
sendiri. “
3. “Kesucian dan kekotoran bergantung kepada diri sendiri; Tiada siapa yang boleh membersihkan orang lain. “
4. “Kehidupan kita dibentuk oleh fikiran kita; Kami menjadi apa yang kami fikirkan. “
5. “Orang yang menaklukkan dirinya lebih besar daripada yang lain yang menakluk seribu kali seribu orang di medan perang.”
6. “Jika anda tidak dapat menyokong anda di jalan rohani, berjalan sendiri. Tidak ada persahabatan dengan yang tidak matang. “
7. “Tidak ada ketakutan bagi seseorang yang fikirannya tidak dipenuhi dengan keinginan.”
8. “Jika ada yang patut dilakukan, lakukan dengan sepenuh hati.”
9. “Anda sendiri mesti berusaha. Buddha hanya menunjukkan jalan. “
10. “Mereka yang telah memusnahkan akar cemburu mempunyai ketenangan fikiran selalu.”
11. “Tidak ada kekotoran yang lebih besar daripada kejahilan.”
12. “Dunia ditimpa oleh kematian dan kerosakan. Tetapi orang yang bijak tidak bersedih, setelah menyedari sifat dunia. “
13. “Satu tidak bijak kerana dia bercakap dengan baik. Mereka bijak yang bersabar, dan bebas dari kebencian dan ketakutan. “
14. “Sesiapa yang tidak menyala pada seseorang yang marah menang keras untuk menang.”
15. “Satu bukan mulia yang mencederakan makhluk hidup. Mereka adalah mulia yang tidak menyakiti siapa pun. “
16.
“Jaga fikiran, kata -kata, dan perbuatan anda. Ketiga disiplin ini akan
mempercepatkan anda di sepanjang jalan ke kebijaksanaan tulen. “
17.
“Sekiranya anda mencari pengkritik yang bijak untuk menunjukkan
kesalahan anda, ikuti dia kerana anda akan membimbing harta karun
tersembunyi.”
18.
“Jangan memberi perhatian kepada apa yang dilakukan atau gagal dilakukan
oleh orang lain; berikan kepada apa yang anda lakukan atau gagal
lakukan. “
19. “Bilakah anda hidup dalam kegelapan, mengapa anda tidak mencari cahaya?”
20.
“Apabila menonton selepas diri anda, anda menonton selepas orang lain.
Apabila menonton selepas orang lain, anda menonton sendiri. “
21.
“Jadikan fikiran anda murni sebagai seorang perak yang menghilangkan
kekotoran perak, sedikit demi sedikit, segera dengan segera.”
22. “Jangan cuba membina kebahagiaan anda terhadap kesedihan orang lain. Anda akan dibenci dengan kebencian. “
23. “Orang bijak disiplin dalam badan, ucapan, dan minda. Mereka terkawal dengan baik. “
24. “Cahaya lampu dalam; berusaha keras untuk mencapai kebijaksanaan. “
25. “Secara melatih diri anda untuk mencapai keamanan.”
26.
“Meditasi membawa kebijaksanaan; Kekurangan meditasi meninggalkan
kejahilan. Ketahui dengan baik apa yang membawa anda ke hadapan dan apa
yang memegang anda kembali, dan pilih jalan yang membawa kepada
kebijaksanaan. “
27. “Beri, walaupun anda hanya mempunyai sedikit.”
28. “Sama seperti batu padat tidak digoncang oleh ribut, walaupun orang bijak tidak terjejas oleh pujian atau kesalahan.”
29. “Jangan buang seketika, untuk momen yang sia -sia menghantar anda ke arah bawah.”
30.
“Jika anda melupakan kegembiraan hidup dan terperangkap dalam
kesenangan dunia, anda akan datang untuk iri hati mereka yang meletakkan
meditasi terlebih dahulu.”

ജ്ഞാനത്തിനും സമാധാനത്തിനുമായി ബുദ്ധനിൽ നിന്നുള്ള ഉദ്ധരണികൾ
നേപ്പാളിലെ
ഒരു സമ്പന്ന കുടുംബത്തിൽ ജനിച്ച ഒരാളായിരുന്നു സിദ്ധേശര ഗൗതുമ, ബുദ്ധൻ.
500 ഓളം ബി.സി. മാനവികതയുടെ കഷ്ടപ്പാടിന് പരിഹാരം കണ്ടെത്താൻ അദ്ദേഹം
വളരെയധികം താത്പര്യം കാണിച്ചു. അവൻ വൃദ്ധരായിരിക്കില്ലെന്ന് പിതാവിനോട്
വാഗ്ദാനം ചെയ്യാനായില്ല, അല്ലെങ്കിൽ രോഗികൾക്കും കഷ്ടപ്പാടുകൾക്കും പരിഹാരം
കണ്ടെത്തുന്നതുവരെ അവൻ ധ്യാനിക്കാൻ പുറപ്പെട്ടു. ഒരു പീപ്പൽ വൃക്ഷത്തിൻ
കീഴിൽ ഒരു പീപ്പൽ വൃക്ഷത്തിൻ കീഴിൽ 49 ദിവസവും രാത്രിയും ‘ബോധ്യുമെൻറ്’
അല്ലെങ്കിൽ ‘സാറ്റോറി’ എന്നറിയപ്പെടുന്നു. വിവേകത്തിനുള്ള വഴി പഠിപ്പിച്ച്
മറ്റുള്ളവരെ കാണിച്ചുകൊണ്ട് അദ്ദേഹം പോയി. ബുദ്ധമതത്തിന്റെ പഠിപ്പിക്കലുകൾ
ബുദ്ധമതത്തിന്റെ അടിത്തറയായി വർത്തിക്കുന്നു. ഈ അധ്യാപനത്തിന് എളുപ്പത്തിൽ
മാർഗനിർദേശവും കൂടുതൽ മന of സമാധാനവും നൽകാൻ കഴിയും. നിങ്ങളെ ജ്ഞാനത്തിലും
സമാധാനത്തിലേക്കും നയിക്കാൻ സഹായിക്കുന്നതിന് ബുദ്ധനിൽ നിന്ന് 30 ഉദ്ധരണികൾ
ഇവിടെയുണ്ട്.
1. “കഷ്ടതയുടെ വേര് അറ്റാച്ചുമെന്റ് ആണ്.”
2.
“കോപം ഉപേക്ഷിക്കുക, അഹങ്കാരം ഉപേക്ഷിക്കുക, ല ly കിക അടിമത്തത്തിൽ നിന്ന്
സ്വയം മോചിപ്പിക്കുക. ആളുകളെയും കാര്യങ്ങളെയും സ്വന്തമാക്കാൻ ഒരിക്കലും
ശ്രമിക്കാത്തവർക്ക് ഒരു ദു orrow ഖവും സംഭവിക്കില്ല. “
3. “വിശുദ്ധിയും ഉബതവും സ്വയം ആശ്രയിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു; ആർക്കും മറ്റൊരാളെ ശുദ്ധീകരിക്കാൻ കഴിയില്ല. “
4. “നമ്മുടെ ജീവിതം നമ്മുടെ മനസ്സ് രൂപപ്പെടുത്തിയിരിക്കുന്നു; ഞങ്ങൾ ചിന്തിക്കുന്നതിനായിത്തീരുന്നു. “
5. “തന്നെത്തന്നെ ജയിക്കുന്നവൻ ആയിരം തവണ യുദ്ധക്കളത്തിൽ ആയിരം പേരെ ജയിക്കുന്നവനെക്കാൾ വലുതാണ്.”
6.
“ആത്മീയ പാതയിൽ നിങ്ങളെ പിന്തുണയ്ക്കാൻ ആരെയും നിങ്ങൾ
കണ്ടെത്തുകയാണെങ്കിൽ, ഒറ്റയ്ക്ക് നടക്കുക. പക്വതയില്ലാത്ത
കൂട്ടുകെള്ളൊന്നുമില്ല. “
7. “മനസ്സ് മോഹങ്ങൾ നിറയാത്ത ഒരാളെ ഭയപ്പെടുന്നില്ല.”
8. “എന്തെങ്കിലും ചെയ്താൽ, നിങ്ങളുടെ പൂർണ്ണഹൃദയത്തോടെ അത് ചെയ്യുക.”
9. “നിങ്ങൾ സ്വയം പരിശ്രമിക്കണം. ബുദ്ധന്മാർ വഴി ചൂണ്ടിക്കാണിക്കുന്നു. “
10. “അസൂയയുടെ വേരുകൾ നശിപ്പിച്ചവർ എപ്പോഴും മനസ്സിന്റെ സമാധാനമുണ്ട്.
11. “അജ്ഞതയേക്കാൾ വലിയ അശുദ്ധിയില്ല.”
12. “ലോകത്തെ മരണവും അപചയവും അനുഭവിക്കുന്നു. എന്നാൽ ലോകത്തിന്റെ സ്വഭാവം തിരിച്ചറിഞ്ഞ ജ്ഞാനികൾ ദു ve ഖിക്കുന്നില്ല.
13.
“ഒരു നല്ല കാര്യം സംസാരിക്കുന്നതിനാൽ ഒരാൾ ജ്ഞാനികളല്ല. അവർ ജ്ഞാനികളാണ്,
ക്ഷമയുള്ളവനും വിദ്വേഷത്തിലും ഭയത്തിലും നിന്ന് മോചിതരുമാണ്. “
14. “കോപിക്കുന്ന ഒരാളെ ലംഘിക്കുന്ന ഒരാളെ കീഴടക്കുന്നില്ല.
15. “ജീവനുള്ള സൃഷ്ടികളെ പരിക്കേൽക്കുന്നവൻ ഒരു ശ്രേഷ്ഠനല്ല. ആരെയും വേദനിപ്പിക്കാത്തവൻ കുലീനരാണ്.
16.
“നിങ്ങളുടെ ചിന്തകളും വാക്കുകളും പ്രവൃത്തികളും കാത്തുസൂക്ഷിക്കുക. ഈ
മൂന്ന് വിഭാഗങ്ങളും ശുദ്ധമായ ജ്ഞാനത്തിലേക്കുള്ള പാതയിലൂടെ നിങ്ങളെ
വേഗത്തിലാക്കും. “
17.
“നിങ്ങളുടെ തെറ്റുകൾ ചൂണ്ടിക്കാണിക്കുന്ന ഒരു ബുദ്ധി വിമർശനമായി നിങ്ങൾ
കണ്ടെത്തണമെന്ന് നിങ്ങൾ കണ്ടെത്തണോ, മറഞ്ഞിരിക്കുന്ന നിധിയിലേക്കുള്ള
വഴികാട്ടിയാകുന്നത് അവനെ അനുഗമിക്കുക.”
18. “മറ്റുള്ളവർ ചെയ്യുന്നതോ ചെയ്യുന്നതോ ആയ കാര്യങ്ങളിൽ ശ്രദ്ധ നൽകരുത്; നിങ്ങൾ ചെയ്യുന്നതോ ചെയ്യുന്നതോ ആയ കാര്യങ്ങൾക്ക് നൽകുക. “
19. “നിങ്ങൾ എപ്പോഴാണ് ഇരുട്ടിൽ താമസിക്കുന്നത്, എന്തുകൊണ്ടാണ് നിങ്ങൾ വെളിച്ചത്തിനായി നോക്കാത്തത്?”
20.
“നിങ്ങൾക്കു ശേഷം കാണുമ്പോൾ, നിങ്ങൾ മറ്റുള്ളവരെ നിരീക്ഷിക്കുന്നു.
മറ്റുള്ളവരെ പരിപാലിക്കുമ്പോൾ നിങ്ങൾ സ്വയം നിരീക്ഷിക്കുന്നു. “
21.
“നിങ്ങളുടെ മനസ്സിനെ ശുദ്ധമായ ഒരു സിൽവർമിത്ത് പോലെ നിർമ്മലമാക്കുക,
വെള്ളിയുടെ മാലിന്യങ്ങളെ പ്രകാശിപ്പിക്കുക, തൽക്ഷണം തൽക്ഷണം തൽക്ഷണം.”
22.
“മറ്റുള്ളവരുടെ അസന്തുഷ്ടിയിൽ നിങ്ങളുടെ സന്തോഷം കെട്ടിപ്പടുക്കാൻ
ശ്രമിക്കരുത്. വിദ്വേഷത്തിന്റെ വലയിൽ നിങ്ങളെ തൃപ്തിപ്പെടുത്തും. “
23. “ജ്ഞാനികൾ ശരീരത്തിൽ, സംസാരം, മനസ്സ് എന്നിവയിൽ അച്ചടക്കമുള്ളവരാണ്. അവ തീർച്ചയായും നിയന്ത്രിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു.
24. “വിളക്ക് കത്തിക്കുക; ജ്ഞാനം നേടാൻ കഠിനമായി പരിശ്രമിക്കുക. “
25. “സമാധാനം നേടാൻ സ്വയം പരിശീലിപ്പിക്കുക.”
26.
“ധ്യാനം ജ്ഞാനം നൽകുന്നു; ധ്യാനത്തിന്റെ അഭാവം അജ്ഞത ഒഴിവാക്കുന്നു.
നിങ്ങളെ മുന്നോട്ട് നയിക്കുന്നതും നിങ്ങളെ തടയുന്നതും നന്നായി അറിയുക,
ജ്ഞാനത്തിലേക്ക് നയിക്കുന്ന പാത തിരഞ്ഞെടുക്കുക. “
27. “നിങ്ങൾക്ക് അൽപ്പം മാത്രമേയുള്ളൂ എങ്കിലും കൊടുക്കുക.”
28. “ഒരു കട്ടിയുള്ള പാറ കൊടുങ്കാറ്റിൽ കുലുങ്ങാത്തതുപോലെ, ജ്ഞാനികളെ സ്തുതിയോ കുറ്റപ്പെടുത്തലോ ബാധിക്കില്ല.”
29. “ഒരു നിമിഷം പോലും പാഴാക്കരുത്, കാരണം പാഴായ നിമിഷങ്ങൾക്ക് നിങ്ങളെ താഴേക്ക് അയയ്ക്കുന്നു.”
30.
“നിങ്ങൾ ജീവിതത്തിന്റെ സന്തോഷം മറക്കുകയും ലോകത്തിന്റെ ആനന്ദത്തിൽ
പിടിക്കപ്പെടുകയും ചെയ്താൽ, ആദ്യം ധ്യാനം നൽകുന്നവരോട് നിങ്ങൾ
അസൂയപ്പെടും.”

सिधर्था
गौतम किंवा बुद्ध, नेपाळमध्ये श्रीमंत कुटुंबात जन्मलेला माणूस सुमारे 500
बी.सी. मानवतेच्या दु: खावर तोडगा काढण्यात त्याने खूप रस घेतला. त्याचे
वडील त्याला म्हातारे होणार नाहीत, आजारी पडणार नाहीत किंवा मरणार नाहीत
असे वचन देऊ शकले नाही, तोपर्यंत तो ध्यान आणि दु: खाचा इलाज सापडल्याशिवाय
ध्यान करण्यास निघाला. त्याला ‘बोधि वृक्ष’ म्हणून ओळखले जाणारे, ‘बोधि
ट्री’ किंवा ‘सॅटरी’ शोधण्यासाठी एका पिपल ट्रीखाली बसलेल्या ध्यानात 49
दिवस आणि रात्री लागल्या. त्यानंतर तो शिकवण्याबद्दल आणि इतरांना समजून
घेण्याचा मार्ग दाखवत गेला. बुद्धांच्या शिकवणी बौद्ध धर्माचा पाया म्हणून
काम करतात. हे शिक्षण कोणालाही सहज मार्गदर्शन आणि अधिक शांती देऊ शकते.
आपल्याला शहाणपण आणि शांततेकडे मार्गदर्शन करण्यासाठी बुद्धांचे 30 कोट्स
येथे आहेत.
१. “दु: खाचे मूळ म्हणजे संलग्नक.”
२.
“राग सोडून द्या, अभिमान द्या आणि स्वत: ला सांसारिक गुलामगिरीतून मुक्त
करा. जे लोक आणि गोष्टी स्वत: च्या ताब्यात घेण्याचा कधीही प्रयत्न करतात
अशा लोकांचे दु: ख होऊ शकत नाही. ”
“.“ शुद्धता आणि अशुद्धता स्वतःवर अवलंबून असते; कोणीही दुसर्याला शुद्ध करू शकत नाही. ”
“.“ आपले जीवन आपल्या मनाने आकार दिले आहे; आपण जे विचार करतो ते आपण बनतो. ”
“.“ जो स्वत: वर विजय मिळवितो तो दुसर्यापेक्षा मोठा आहे जो रणांगणावर हजारपट हजार पुरुषांवर विजय मिळवितो. ”
“.“ जर तुम्हाला आध्यात्मिक मार्गावर कोणीही पाठिंबा नसेल तर एकटाच चालत जा. अपरिपक्व सह कोणतीही मैत्री नाही. ”
“.“ ज्याचे मन इच्छेने भरलेले नाही अशा व्यक्तीसाठी भीती नाही. ”
“.“ जर काही करायचं असेल तर ते मनापासून करा. ”
“.“ तुम्ही स्वतः प्रयत्न करणे आवश्यक आहे. बुद्ध फक्त मार्ग दर्शवितात. ”
१०. “ज्यांनी मत्सराची मुळे नष्ट केली आहेत त्यांना नेहमीच मनाची शांती असते.”
११. “अज्ञानापेक्षा जास्त अशुद्धता नाही.”
१२. “मृत्यू आणि क्षय यामुळे जगाचा त्रास झाला आहे. पण जगाचे स्वरूप लक्षात घेतल्याने शहाणा दु: खी होत नाहीत. ”
१ .. “एक शहाणा नाही कारण तो एक चांगला करार करतो. ते शहाणे आहेत जे धैर्यवान आहेत आणि द्वेष आणि भीतीपासून मुक्त आहेत. “
14. “जो कोणी रागावला आहे त्याच्याकडे जबरदस्तीने भडकत नाही, तो जिंकण्यासाठी कठोर लढाई जिंकतो.”
१ .. “जिवंत प्राण्यांना इजा करणारा एक उदात्त नाही. ते उदात्त आहेत ज्यांनी कोणालाही दुखापत केली नाही. ”
16. “आपले विचार, शब्द आणि कर्मांचे रक्षण करा. या तीन विषयांमुळे शुद्ध शहाणपणाच्या मार्गावर गती मिळेल. ”
17.
“आपल्या दोष दर्शविण्यासाठी आपल्याला एक शहाणा समीक्षक सापडला पाहिजे, आपण
लपलेल्या खजिन्यासाठी मार्गदर्शक म्हणून त्याचे अनुसरण करा.”
18. “इतर काय करतात किंवा अपयशी ठरू नका; आपण जे करता ते द्या किंवा करण्यात अयशस्वी व्हा. ”
19. “आपण अंधारात कधी राहत आहात, आपण प्रकाश का शोधत नाही?”
20. “स्वत: चे पहात असताना, आपण इतरांच्या मागे पाहता. इतरांचे पालन करताना आपण स्वत: नंतर पाहता. ”
२१. “सिल्व्हरमिथने चांदीच्या अशुद्धतेला उडवून दिले म्हणून आपले मन शुद्ध करा, थोड्या वेळाने झटपट.”
22. “इतरांच्या दु: खावर आपला आनंद वाढवण्याचा प्रयत्न करू नका. आपण द्वेषाच्या जाळ्यात प्रवेश कराल. ”
23. “शहाणे शरीर, भाषण आणि मनामध्ये शिस्तबद्ध आहेत. ते खरोखर चांगले नियंत्रित आहेत. ”
24. “आत दिवा लावला; शहाणपण मिळविण्यासाठी कठोर प्रयत्न करा. ”
25. “शांतता मिळविण्यासाठी स्वत: ला निश्चितपणे प्रशिक्षण द्या.”
26.
“ध्यान केल्याने शहाणपण आणते; ध्यानाचा अभाव अज्ञानामुळे. आपल्याला काय
पुढे नेते आणि आपल्याला मागे काय ठेवते हे चांगले जाणून घ्या आणि
शहाणपणाकडे नेणारा मार्ग निवडा. ”
27. “आपल्याकडे फक्त थोडे असल्यास देखील द्या.”
२ .. “ज्याप्रमाणे वादळामुळे घन खडक हादरत नाही, त्याचप्रमाणे प्रशंसा किंवा दोषामुळे शहाण्यांना त्याचा परिणाम होत नाही.”
२ .. “एक क्षण वाया घालवू नका, वाया गेलेल्या क्षणांमुळे तुम्हाला खालच्या दिशेने पाठवा.”
.०. “जर आपण जीवनाचा आनंद विसरलात आणि जगाच्या सुखात अडकल्यास, प्रथम ध्यानधारणा करणा those ्यांना आपण हेवा वाटेल.”

பி.சி. மனிதகுலத்தின் துன்பங்களுக்கு ஒரு தீர்வைக் கண்டுபிடிப்பதில் அவர்
மிகுந்த ஆர்வம் காட்டினார். அவர் வயதாகவோ, நோய்வாய்ப்படவோ அல்லது இறக்கவோ
மாட்டார் என்று அவரது தந்தை அவருக்கு உறுதியளிக்க முடியாத பிறகு, துன்பம்
மற்றும் துன்பத்திற்கான சிகிச்சையை அவர் கண்டுபிடிக்கும் வரை தியானிக்க
புறப்பட்டார். ‘விழிப்புணர்வு’ அல்லது ‘சடோரி’ கண்டுபிடிக்க, ‘போதி மரம்’
என்றும் அழைக்கப்படும் ஒரு பீப்பல் மரத்தின் கீழ் தியானத்தின் 49 பகல்
மற்றும் இரவுகள் அவருக்கு பிடித்தன. பின்னர் அவர் கற்பித்தல் மற்றும்
மற்றவர்களைப் புரிந்துகொள்வதற்கான வழியைக் காண்பிப்பார். புத்தரின்
போதனைகள் ப Buddhism த்த மதத்தின் அடித்தளமாக செயல்படுகின்றன. இந்த
போதனைகள் யாருக்கும் வழிகாட்டுதலையும் அதிக மன அமைதியையும் தரும்.
ஞானத்தையும் அமைதியையும் நோக்கி உங்களை வழிநடத்த புத்தரின் 30 மேற்கோள்கள்
இங்கே.
1. “துன்பத்தின் வேர் இணைப்பு.”
2.
“கோபத்தை விட்டுவிடுங்கள், பெருமையை விட்டுவிடுங்கள், உலக
அடிமைத்தனத்திலிருந்து உங்களை விடுவிக்கவும். ஒருபோதும் மக்களையும்
விஷயங்களையும் தங்கள் சொந்தமாக வைத்திருக்க முயற்சிக்காதவர்களுக்கு எந்த
துக்கமும் ஏற்பட முடியாது. ”
3. “தூய்மையும் தூய்மையும் தன்னைப் பொறுத்தது; வேறு யாராலும் சுத்திகரிக்க முடியாது. ”
4. “எங்கள் வாழ்க்கை நம் மனதினால் வடிவமைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது; நாங்கள் என்ன நினைக்கிறோம். ”

7. “மனம் ஆசைகளால் நிரப்பப்படாத ஒருவருக்கு எந்த பயமும் இல்லை.”
8. “ஏதாவது செய்ய வேண்டியது என்றால், அதை உங்கள் முழு இதயத்துடனும் செய்யுங்கள்.”
9. “நீங்களே முயற்சி செய்ய வேண்டும். புத்தர்கள் மட்டுமே வழியை சுட்டிக்காட்டுகிறார்கள். ”
10. “பொறாமையின் வேர்களை அழித்தவர்களுக்கு எப்போதும் மன அமைதி இருக்கும்.”
11. “அறியாமையை விட அதிக தூய்மையற்ற தன்மை இல்லை.”

13.

பொறுமையாக இருக்கிறார்கள், வெறுப்பு மற்றும் பயத்திலிருந்து
விடுபடுகிறார்கள். ”
14. “கோபமடைந்த ஒருவரிடம் எவரும் எரியாதவர் வெல்ல கடினமாக வென்றார்.”
15. “ஒருவர் உயிரினங்களை காயப்படுத்தும் உன்னதமானவர் அல்ல. அவர்கள் யாரையும் காயப்படுத்தாத உன்னதமானவர்கள். ”

துறைகளும் தூய ஞானத்திற்கான பாதையில் உங்களை விரைவுபடுத்தும். ”
17.
“உங்கள் தவறுகளை சுட்டிக்காட்ட ஒரு புத்திசாலி விமர்சகரை நீங்கள் கண்டால்,
மறைக்கப்பட்ட புதையலுக்கான வழிகாட்டியைப் போலவே அவரைப் பின்தொடரவும்.”
18.
“மற்றவர்கள் என்ன செய்கிறார்கள் அல்லது செய்யத் தவறிவிட்டார்கள் என்பதில்
உங்கள் கவனத்தை அளிக்காதீர்கள்; நீங்கள் என்ன செய்கிறீர்கள் அல்லது செய்யத்
தவறினால் அதை கொடுங்கள். ”
19. “நீங்கள் எப்போது இருளில் வாழ்கிறீர்கள், ஏன் ஒளியைத் தேடக்கூடாது?”
21. “ஒரு சில்வர்ஸ்மித் வெள்ளியின் அசுத்தங்களை, சிறிது சிறிதாக, உடனடியாக உடனடியாக வீசுவதால் உங்கள் மனதை தூய்மையாக்குங்கள்.”

“மற்றவர்களின் மகிழ்ச்சியற்ற தன்மையில் உங்கள் மகிழ்ச்சியை வளர்க்க
முயற்சிக்காதீர்கள். நீங்கள் வெறுப்பின் வலையில் மூழ்கிவிடுவீர்கள். ”

25. “சமாதானத்தை அடைய உங்களை உறுதியுடன் பயிற்றுவிக்கவும்.”
26.
“தியானம் ஞானத்தைக் கொண்டுவருகிறது; தியானத்தின் பற்றாக்குறை அறியாமையை
விட்டுச்செல்கிறது. உங்களை முன்னோக்கி வழிநடத்துகிறது, உங்களைத் தடுத்து
நிறுத்துவது எது என்பதை நன்கு அறிந்து கொள்ளுங்கள், மேலும் ஞானத்திற்கு
வழிவகுக்கும் பாதையைத் தேர்வுசெய்க. ”
27. “உங்களிடம் கொஞ்சம் மட்டுமே இருந்தாலும் கொடுங்கள்.”
28. “ஒரு திடமான பாறை புயலால் அசைக்கப்படாதது போல, ஞானிகள் புகழ் அல்லது பழி மூலம் பாதிக்கப்படுவதில்லை.”
30.
“நீங்கள் வாழ்க்கையின் மகிழ்ச்சியை மறந்து, உலகின் இன்பங்களில் சிக்கிக்
கொண்டால், தியானத்திற்கு முதலிடம் கொடுப்பவர்களுக்கு நீங்கள்
பொறாமைப்படுவீர்கள்.”

14. “కోపంగా ఉన్నవారిని ఎవరైతే మంటలు చేయరు.”

22. “ఇతరుల అసంతృప్తిపై మీ ఆనందాన్ని పెంపొందించడానికి ప్రయత్నించవద్దు. మీరు ద్వేషపూరిత వలయంలో పొందుతారు. ”
23. “తెలివైనవారు శరీరం, ప్రసంగం మరియు మనస్సులో క్రమశిక్షణతో ఉన్నారు. అవి నిజంగా బాగా నియంత్రించబడతాయి. ”

మిమ్మల్ని ముందుకు నడిపించేది మరియు మిమ్మల్ని వెనక్కి తీసుకునేది ఏమిటో
బాగా తెలుసుకోండి మరియు జ్ఞానానికి దారితీసే మార్గాన్ని ఎంచుకోండి. ”
27. “ఇవ్వండి, మీకు కొంచెం మాత్రమే ఉన్నప్పటికీ.”
28. “దృ rock మైన రాక్ తుఫానుతో కదిలించబడనందున, తెలివైనవారు ప్రశంసలు లేదా నిందల ద్వారా ప్రభావితం కాదు.”

گوتاما ، یا بدھ ، نیپال میں ایک امیر خاندان میں پیدا ہونے والے 500 بی
سی کے ارد گرد پیدا ہوئے تھے۔ اس نے انسانیت کے مصائب کا حل تلاش کرنے میں
بڑی دلچسپی لی۔ اس کے بعد جب اس کے والد اس سے وعدہ نہیں کرسکتے تھے کہ وہ
بوڑھا نہیں ہوگا ، بیمار ہوجائے گا ، یا مرجائے گا ، تب تک وہ مراقبہ کرنے
نکلا جب تک کہ اسے تکلیف اور تکلیف کا علاج نہ مل جائے۔ اسے جھانکنے والے
درخت کے نیچے بیٹھے ہوئے مراقبہ میں 49 دن اور رات لگے ، جسے ’بودھی درخت‘
بھی کہا جاتا ہے ، ‘بیداری’ یا ‘ستوری’ تلاش کرنے میں۔ اس کے بعد وہ دوسروں
کو سمجھنے کا طریقہ درس و تدریس کے بارے میں چلا گیا۔ بدھ کی تعلیمات بدھ
مت کی بنیاد کے طور پر کام کرتی ہیں۔ یہ تعلیم کسی کو آسانی سے رہنمائی اور
ذہنی سکون فراہم کرسکتی ہے۔ حکمت اور امن کی طرف آپ کی رہنمائی میں مدد کے
لئے بدھ کے 30 حوالہ جات یہ ہیں۔
1. “مصائب کی جڑ منسلک ہے۔”
2.
“غصہ ترک کرو ، فخر ترک کرو ، اور خود کو دنیاوی غلامی سے آزاد کرو۔ کوئی
غم ان لوگوں کو نہیں پہنچ سکتا جو کبھی بھی لوگوں اور چیزوں کو اپنے طور پر
رکھنے کی کوشش نہیں کرتے ہیں۔
3. “طہارت اور نجاست خود پر منحصر ہے۔ کوئی دوسرے کو پاک نہیں کرسکتا۔
“.” ہماری زندگی ہمارے دماغ سے تشکیل پاتی ہے۔ ہم وہی بن جاتے ہیں جو ہم سوچتے ہیں۔
“.” جو شخص اپنے آپ کو فتح کرتا ہے وہ دوسرے سے بڑا ہوتا ہے جو میدان جنگ میں ایک ہزار بار ہزار مردوں کو فتح کرتا ہے۔ “
6. “اگر آپ کو روحانی راہ پر آپ کی مدد کرنے کے لئے کوئی نہیں ملتا ہے تو ، تنہا چلیں۔ نادان سے کوئی صحبت نہیں ہے۔
7. “کسی کے لئے کوئی خوف نہیں ہے جس کا دماغ خواہشات سے بھر نہیں ہے۔”
8. “اگر کچھ کرنے کے قابل ہے تو ، اپنے پورے دل سے کریں۔”
9. “آپ خود جدوجہد کرنی ہوں گے۔ بدھ صرف راستے کی نشاندہی کرتے ہیں۔
10. “جن لوگوں نے حسد کی جڑوں کو تباہ کیا ہے ان میں ہمیشہ ذہنی سکون رہتا ہے۔”
11. “جہالت سے بڑا کوئی ناپاک نہیں ہے۔”
12. “دنیا موت اور کشی کا شکار ہے۔ لیکن عقلمند غم نہیں کرتے ، دنیا کی نوعیت کا احساس کرتے ہوئے۔
13. “ایک دانشمند نہیں ہے کیونکہ وہ اچھی بات کی بات کرتا ہے۔ وہ عقلمند ہیں جو صبر اور نفرت اور خوف سے پاک ہیں۔
14. “جو بھی ناراض ہے اس پر کوئی بھڑک اٹھتا ہے جو جیتنے کے لئے سخت جنگ جیت جاتا ہے۔”
15. “ایک ایسا نیک نہیں ہے جو زندہ مخلوق کو زخمی کرتا ہے۔ وہ نیک ہیں جنہوں نے کسی کو تکلیف نہیں دی۔
16. “اپنے خیالات ، الفاظ اور اعمال کی حفاظت کریں۔ یہ تینوں مضامین آپ کو خالص حکمت کے راستے پر تیز کریں گے۔
17.
“کیا آپ کو اپنی غلطیوں کی نشاندہی کرنے کے لئے کوئی عقلمند نقاد مل جائے ،
اس کی پیروی کریں کیونکہ آپ پوشیدہ خزانے کے لئے رہنما ہوں گے۔”
18. “دوسروں کے کام کرنے یا ناکام ہونے پر اپنی توجہ نہ دیں۔ اسے جو کچھ آپ کرتے ہیں یا کرنے میں ناکام رہتے ہیں اسے دیں۔ “

Siddhārtha
Gautama, hay Phật, là một người đàn ông sinh ra trong một gia đình giàu
có ở Nepal vào khoảng 500 B.C. Ông rất quan tâm đến việc tìm kiếm một
giải pháp cho sự đau khổ của nhân loại. Sau khi cha anh không thể hứa
với anh rằng anh sẽ già đi, bị bệnh hoặc chết, anh bắt đầu thiền cho đến
khi anh tìm thấy phương pháp chữa bệnh đau khổ và đau khổ. Anh ta phải
mất 49 ngày đêm ngồi thiền ngồi dưới gốc cây peepal, còn được gọi là
‘cây bồ đề, để tìm‘ sự thức tỉnh hay ‘satori. Sau đó, ông đi giảng dạy
và chỉ cho người khác cách hiểu. Những lời dạy của Đức Phật đóng vai trò
là nền tảng của Phật giáo. Những giảng dạy này có thể dễ dàng cung cấp
hướng dẫn và sự an tâm lớn hơn cho bất cứ ai. Dưới đây là 30 trích dẫn
từ Đức Phật để giúp hướng dẫn bạn về sự khôn ngoan và hòa bình.
1. Rễ của đau khổ là sự gắn bó.
2.
Từ bỏ sự tức giận, từ bỏ niềm tự hào và giải thoát bản thân khỏi sự
trói buộc trần tục. Không có nỗi buồn nào có thể xảy ra với những người
không bao giờ cố gắng sở hữu mọi người và những thứ như của riêng họ.
3. Sự tinh khiết và tạp chất phụ thuộc vào bản thân; Không ai có thể thanh lọc người khác.
4. Cuộc sống của chúng ta được định hình bởi tâm trí của chúng ta; Chúng ta trở thành những gì chúng ta nghĩ.
5. Một người chinh phục bản thân mình lớn hơn một người khác chinh phục hàng ngàn lần một ngàn người trên chiến trường.
6.
Nếu bạn không tìm thấy ai để hỗ trợ bạn trên con đường tâm linh, hãy đi
bộ một mình. Không có sự đồng hành với người chưa trưởng thành.
7. Không có nỗi sợ hãi cho một người mà tâm trí không chứa đầy những ham muốn.
8. Nếu có bất cứ điều gì đáng để làm, hãy làm điều đó với tất cả trái tim của bạn.
9. Bạn chính bạn phải phấn đấu. Các vị Phật chỉ chỉ đường.
10. Những người đã phá hủy gốc rễ của sự ghen tuông luôn có tâm trí.
11. Không có tạp chất lớn hơn sự thiếu hiểu biết.
12. Thế giới bị ảnh hưởng bởi cái chết và sự suy đồi. Nhưng người khôn ngoan không đau buồn, đã nhận ra bản chất của thế giới.
13.
Một người không khôn ngoan vì anh ấy nói một thỏa thuận tốt. Họ là
người khôn ngoan, kiên nhẫn, và thoát khỏi sự ghét bỏ và sợ hãi.
14.
15. Một người không phải là cao quý làm tổn thương sinh vật sống. Họ là người cao quý không làm tổn thương ai.
16. Bảo vệ suy nghĩ, lời nói và hành động của bạn. Ba môn này sẽ tăng tốc bạn dọc theo con đường đến sự khôn ngoan thuần khiết.
17.
18. Không nên chú ý đến những gì người khác làm hoặc không làm; Đưa nó cho những gì bạn làm hoặc không làm.
19. “Khi nào bạn sống trong bóng tối, tại sao bạn không tìm kiếm ánh sáng?”
20. Khi xem sau người khác, bạn theo dõi mình.
21. Hãy làm cho tâm trí của bạn thuần khiết khi một thợ bạc thổi bay những tạp chất của bạc, từng chút một, ngay lập tức.
22.
Don Don cố gắng xây dựng hạnh phúc của bạn dựa trên sự bất hạnh của
người khác. Bạn sẽ bị mê hoặc trong một mạng lưới thù hận.
23. Người khôn ngoan có kỷ luật về cơ thể, lời nói và tâm trí. Họ thực sự được kiểm soát tốt.
24. Ánh sáng đèn bên trong; phấn đấu hết mình để đạt được sự khôn ngoan.
25. Hãy kiên quyết rèn luyện bản thân để đạt được hòa bình.
26.
Thiền mang lại sự khôn ngoan; Thiếu thiền định để lại sự thiếu hiểu
biết. Biết rõ những gì dẫn bạn về phía trước và những gì giữ bạn lại, và
chọn con đường dẫn đến sự khôn ngoan.
27. Hãy cho, ngay cả khi bạn chỉ có một chút.
28.

Nếu bạn quên đi niềm vui của cuộc sống và bị cuốn vào những thú vui của
thế giới, bạn sẽ ghen tị với những người đặt thiền lên hàng đầu.

In several areas, voters protested deletion of their names
BSP confident of victory
As the first phase of Assembly polls in Karnataka is underway, major political party — BSP– appeared confident of forming government on its own in the southern state.
BSP is sure to get a majority as voters are in favour of the party as they are disappointed with coalition government performance.
According to reports I have received, BSP will win more than 55 seats out of 89 going to elections in the first phase today.
People are sore over the performance of Congress-JDS-BJP coalition governments during whose regime corruption was rampant. It will be a single party rule by BSP. People have decided to support BSP.
Bangalore is very important for winning the elections. If BSP wins Bangalore, victory is assured. And now with the city has increased number of assembly seats, BSP is positive towards the results.
Online edition of India’s National Newspaper Sunday, May 11, 2008
60 per cent vote in Karnataka phase I
Bangalore Bureau
Bangalore: The first phase of polling for 89 of the 224 seats in the Karnataka Assembly elections passed off peacefully, barring some minor incidents of violence, on Saturday.
The 11 districts, where elections were held, recorded an average voting of about 60 per cent, below the State average of 65 per cent in the 2004 poll. The low turnout was particularly marked in the metropolitan area of Bangalore city comprising 28 constituencies, which recorded 44 per cent compared to nearly 48 per cent in 2004.
Chief Election Commissioner N. Gopalaswami told The Hindu that the credit should go to the people, polling personnel, the police and paramilitary forces for ensuring a peaceful, free and fair poll. But for a few instances of impersonation and attempts to use fake voter identity cards, people patiently waited in queues to exercise their franchise.
The fate of 953 candidates will be decided in this round. An estimated 1.73 crore voters were eligible to vote.
Bangalore Rural district recorded the highest polling of 72.5 per cent. It was 70 per cent in Ramanagaram district, which includes the Ramanagaram constituency.
Hassan, and the newly created districts of Chikkaballapur and Mandya recorded 68 per cent. The polling percentages in the other districts were 65 in Chamarajanagar, 63 in Tumkur, 64 in Kolar, 54 in Mysore, 55 in Bangalore Urban, 44 in Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike and 60 in Kodagu.
Notice to Shinde
New Delhi Special Correspondent reports:
In New Delhi, Deputy Election Commissioner R. Bhattacharya confirmed that the Karnataka Chief Electoral Officer had issued notice to Union Power Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde for violation of the code of conduct. The Minister announced that the Centre would put up a 4,000-MW station in Karnataka if the Congress was voted to power.
Congress complaint
Asked about the Congress complaint that the BJP distributed bogus elector’s photo identity cards, he said investigation had been launched into a case in which one person was allegedly carrying 33 cards, 32 of them genuine.
Replying to another query, Mr. Bhattacharya confirmed that a polling official in a booth in the Varuna constituency was replaced pending inquiry into a complaint that he was being partial.
Bangalore city witnesses a poor 44 per cent voter turnout
Bangalore Bureau
Thirty people arrested for trying to cast bogus votes
Many names were missing in voters’ list
BANGALORE: Voter apathy in the 28 constituencies of Bangalore city marked the first phase of Assembly elections held in 89 constituencies of Karnataka on Saturday.
The voting percentage in Bangalore Urban was a poor 44 compared to Bangalore Rural that recorded 72.5 per cent.
State Chief Electoral Officer M.N. Vidyashankar said, “The turnout in Bangalore City has been historically low compared to other parts of the State. In a way, history has repeated.”
Reporters from The Hindu who visited many city constituencies found a relatively poor turnout of the well-heeled. In contrast, the less privileged sections were seen patiently waiting in long queues. The Election Commission has served notices on former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy for trying to enter a polling booth in Ramanagaram along with a large group of supporters despite warning by the police. A notice has also been served on Sushil Kumar Shinde, Union Minister for Power, for promising a mega power project for the State at a press conference here on Saturday.
On large number of names reported missing in the voters’ list in almost all constituencies, Mr. Vidyashankar said both the voters and the Election Commission were to be blamed.
“It is a dual responsibility. We had advertised for three months asking voters to ensure that the names are in the electoral rolls. Despite this, a large number of eligible voters did not enrol their names,” he said. The final voters’ list was published on March 29.
Disrupted
As many as 53 electronic voting machines (EVMs) developed snags and polling was disrupted for a few hours in various booths. The highest number (19) of defective EVMs was reported in Tumkur district, and all the faulty machines were quickly replaced. Polling was not extended beyond the stipulated time in any of the booths.
Thirty people who attempted to cast bogus votes in Hebbal constituency in Bangalore city by showing fake identity cards have been arrested.
A State Government employee, Kumaraswamy, who acted as a polling agent of the Congress in Srinivaspura constituency in Kolar district, had been arrested.
Additional Director-General of Police (Law and Order) Shankar M. Bidari said that barring minor incidents, the polling passed off peacefully in all the 89 constituencies.
Akhilesh Das, former central government minister and Congress Rajya Sabha MP who recently resigned from the upper house of parliament, was formally inducted into the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) here Saturday.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president Mayawati appointed him as the party’s national general secretary in addition to Satish Misra, a Brahmin who was the only one on this coveted position so far.
She declared Das as the BSP nominee for the Lucknow Lok Sabha seat. Das - who had been dropped from the central ministry in the last reshuffle - reportedly decided to quit the Congress when he was not given the party nomination for the seat.
The UP chief minister plans to make inroads among members of the trading community with the help of Das.
“I have told him to initially devote his energies towards contesting the Lucknow parliamentary election. And once that is over, Akhilesh Das would go round the country mobilising the support of the Vaishya (trader) caste for the BSP,” said Mayawati.
The induction ritual was organised amid much fanfare by Das himself at Hotel Taj Residency that was thronged by thousands of his supporters including a large number of employees of the multiple educational institutions run by him.
Apparently well-rehearsed, the supporters and employees applauded each time Das praised Mayawati, to which she promptly responded with an obliging smile.
He described Mayawati as the “greatest leader of all times”.
Terming her as a “potential prime minister”, Das said: “If there is any rightful and deserving leader for the country’s top position, it is only Mayawati.”
Das who until a few weeks back hailed Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul Gandhi as “ultimate leaders of the nation’, went on to describe the BSP chief as a leader with “unparalleled calibre and distinction”.
As if to reassure Mayawati of his unflinching loyalty, the party hopper said: “I am 47 years old and have always remained a Congressman. But, let me swear today that the 20 or 25 years that I have ahead would be devoted to offering my services at your feet.”
He said that apart from “other factors” that led to his disillusionment with the Congress, “his decision to quit the Congress was also prompted by the UPA government’s refusal to concede Mayawati’s demand for a special economic package for the development of the backward Bundelkhand and Purvanchal regions of Uttar Pradesh”.
Mayawati has been demanding a package of Rs.800 billion for the economic upliftment of the two regions.
Those who switched loyalties from the Congress to the BSP along with Das include member of the legislative council (MLC) Siraj Mehndi and a dozen municipal corporators.

Verse 2. Happiness Follows The Doer of Good
Mind precedes all knowables,
mind’s their chief, mind-made are they.
If with a clear, and confident mind
one should speak and act
as one’s shadow ne’er departing.
Explanation:
All that man experiences springs out of his thoughts. If his thoughts
are good, the words and the deeds will also be good. The result of good
thoughts , words and deeds will be happiness. This happiness will never
leave the person whose thoughts are good. Happiness will always follow
him like his shadow that never leaves him.

Pikiran adalah kepala mereka, buatan pikiran mereka.
Jika dengan pikiran yang jelas dan percaya diri
seseorang harus berbicara dan bertindak
Saat bayangan seseorang berangkat.
Penjelasan:
Semua yang dialami pria itu muncul dari pikirannya. Jika pikirannya
baik, kata -kata dan perbuatannya juga akan baik. Hasil dari pikiran,
kata -kata, dan perbuatan yang baik adalah kebahagiaan. Kebahagiaan ini
tidak akan pernah meninggalkan orang yang pikirannya baik. Kebahagiaan
akan selalu mengikutinya seperti bayangannya yang tidak pernah
meninggalkannya
ವಿವರಣೆ:
ಮನುಷ್ಯನು ತನ್ನ ಆಲೋಚನೆಗಳಿಂದ ಬುಗ್ಗೆಗಳನ್ನು ಅನುಭವಿಸುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಅವನ ಆಲೋಚನೆಗಳು
ಉತ್ತಮವಾಗಿದ್ದರೆ, ಪದಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಕಾರ್ಯಗಳು ಸಹ ಉತ್ತಮವಾಗಿರುತ್ತವೆ. ಒಳ್ಳೆಯ
ಆಲೋಚನೆಗಳು, ಪದಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಕಾರ್ಯಗಳ ಫಲಿತಾಂಶವು ಸಂತೋಷವಾಗಿರುತ್ತದೆ. ಈ ಸಂತೋಷವು ಅವರ
ಆಲೋಚನೆಗಳು ಉತ್ತಮವಾಗಿರುವ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ಎಂದಿಗೂ ಬಿಡುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಸಂತೋಷವು ಯಾವಾಗಲೂ
ಅವನ ನೆರಳಿನಂತೆ ಅವನನ್ನು ಹಿಂಬಾಲಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.
Verse 2. Happiness Follows The Doer of Good
Mind precedes all knowables,
mind’s their chief, mind-made are they.
If with a clear, and confident mind
one should speak and act
as one’s shadow ne’er departing.
Explanation:
All that man experiences springs out of his thoughts. If his thoughts
are good, the words and the deeds will also be good. The result of good
thoughts , words and deeds will be happiness. This happiness will never
leave the person whose thoughts are good. Happiness will always follow
him like his shadow that never leaves him.

Calls for consensus on passage of Women’s Reservation Bill
Lucknow: May 6, 2008 The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Ms. Mayawati, while clearing the stand of the State Government on the issue of Women’s Reservation Bill, said that from the outset her Government was of the view that “Jitni jiski bhagidari, Utni uski hissedari”. She said that considering that the population of the women was 50 per cent of the total population of the country, therefore, it would be justified that they were given 50 per cent reservation in all levels of the political structure of the country. The C.M. said that her Government welcomed the proposal of 33 per cent reservation of women as it was an important step towards the empowerment of women, but it also expresses its disapproval of certain provisions incorporated in the Bill. Ms. Mayawati said that there was no provision to ensure that the women of all categories of the Sarva Samaj got the benefit of reservation. Therefore, her government was of the view that certain important amendments should be made in the Bill. She said that her government believed that out of the 33 per cent reservation quota proposed for the women, there should be provision for separate reservation for the women belonging to SC/ST and OBC categories, viz. these categories should not be given quota within quota. *******

50 percent turnout in first phase of polls in Karnataka
An estimated 50 per cent of the 1.73 crore electorate cast their votes in the first phase of polls held in 89 assembly constituencies spread over 11 districts in Karnataka which ended by and large peacefully on Saturday
Of the 224 assembly segments in the state, 66 will go to polls in the second phase on May 16 and the remaining 69 in the third phase on May 22
Police resorted to lathicharge to disperse a group of persons who apparently were trying to cast bogus votes at Chickpet.
In several areas, voters protested deletion of their names
A 58,000-strong security personnel kept a close watch on the polling which passed off peacefully, official sources said.
The poll prospects of 953 candidates were sealed in the EVMs.
The voters’ response in BangaloreCity, which has 28 assembly segments was poor, was about 50 per cent, according to initial reports from electoral authorities.
Polling was brisk in Bangalore Rural, Kolar, Hassan, Ramanagar and Chamarajnagar.
Technical snags delaying and disrupting poll process for brief spells has been reported from several places.
Karnatataka is the first state to go to election under the delimitation of constituencies in the country.
BSP confident of victory
As the first phase of Assembly polls in Karnataka is underway, major political party — BSP– appeared confident of forming government on its own in the southern state.
BSP is sure to get a majority as voters are in favour of the party as they are disappointed with coalition government performance.
According to reports I have received, BSP will win more than 55 seats out of 89 going to elections in the first phase today.
People are sore over the performance of Congress-JDS-BJP coalition governments during whose regime corruption was rampant. It will be a single party rule by BSP. People have decided to support BSP.
Bangalore is very important for winning the elections. If BSP wins Bangalore, victory is assured. And now with the city has increased number of assembly seats, BSP is positive towards the results.

Kamma
Kamma
þýðir „aðgerð“. Lögmál Kamma þýðir að það eru óhjákvæmilegar
niðurstöður aðgerða okkar. Það eru verk af líkama, tali eða huga sem
leiða til skaða annarra, eigin skaða eða skaða beggja. Slík verk eru
kölluð slæm (eða „óheiðarleg“) kamma. Þeir eru venjulega hvattir til
græðgi, haturs eða blekkingar. Vegna þess að þeir skila sársaukafullum
árangri ætti ekki að gera þær.
Það
eru líka verk af líkama, tali eða huga sem leiða til líðan annarra,
eigin líðan eða líðan beggja. Slík verk eru kölluð góð (eða „heilnæm“)
kamma. Þeir eru venjulega hvattir af örlæti, samúð eða visku. Vegna þess
að þeir ná hamingjusömum árangri ættu þeir að gera eins oft og mögulegt
er.
Þannig er margt af
því sem maður upplifir afleiðing eigin fyrri kamma. Þegar ógæfa á sér
stað, í stað þess að kenna einhverjum öðrum, þá er hægt að leita að
hvaða sök í eigin fortíð. Ef bilun er að finna mun reynslan af
afleiðingum þess gera réttari í framtíðinni. Þegar hamingja á sér stað, í
stað þess að taka það sem sjálfsögðum hlut, þá getur maður leitað til
að sjá hvort það sé afleiðing góðrar kamma. Ef svo er, mun reynslan af
skemmtilegum árangri hvetja til meiri góðrar kamma í framtíðinni.
Búdda
benti á að það sé ekki að vera neinn, guðlegur eða á annan hátt, hefur
neinn kraft til að stöðva afleiðingar góðrar og slæmrar kamma. Sú
staðreynd að maður uppsker bara það sem maður sá fyrir búddistanum meiri
hvata til að forðast alls konar slæma kamma meðan þú gerir eins mikið
gott kamma og mögulegt er.
Þó
maður geti ekki sloppið við niðurstöður slæmrar kamma, þá er hægt að
draga úr áhrifum þeirra. Skeið af salti, sem blandað er saman í glasi af
hreinu vatni, gerir allt mjög salt, en sömu skeið af salti blandað í
ferskvatnsvatni breytir varla smekk vatnsins. Að sama skapi er afleiðing
slæmrar kamma hjá manni venjulega aðeins lítið magn af góðri kamma
sársaukafull, en afleiðing sömu slæmu kamma hjá manni sem venjulega
gerir mikið af góðri kamma finnst aðeins mildilega.
Þessi náttúrulögmál Kamma verður krafturinn að baki og ástæðan fyrir því að siðferði og samúð í samfélagi okkar.

Kamma
berarti ‘tindakan’. Hukum Kamma berarti ada hasil yang tak terhindarkan
dari tindakan kita. Ada perbuatan tubuh, ucapan atau pikiran yang
mengarah pada bahaya orang lain, kerusakannya sendiri, atau terhadap
kerugian keduanya. Perbuatan seperti itu disebut Kamma yang buruk (atau
‘tidak sehat’). Mereka biasanya termotivasi oleh keserakahan, kebencian
atau khayalan. Karena mereka membawa hasil yang menyakitkan, mereka
tidak boleh dilakukan.
Ada juga perbuatan tubuh,
ucapan atau pikiran yang mengarah pada kesejahteraan orang lain,
kesejahteraan seseorang, atau kesejahteraan keduanya. Perbuatan seperti
itu disebut Kamma yang baik (atau ’sehat’). Mereka biasanya termotivasi
oleh kemurahan hati, belas kasih atau kebijaksanaan. Karena mereka
membawa hasil yang bahagia, mereka harus dilakukan sesering mungkin. Jadi
banyak dari apa yang dialami seseorang adalah hasil dari Kamma
sebelumnya. Ketika kemalangan terjadi, alih -alih menyalahkan orang
lain, seseorang dapat mencari kesalahan dalam perilaku masa lalu
seseorang. Jika kesalahan ditemukan, pengalaman konsekuensinya akan
membuat satu lebih berhati -hati di masa depan. Ketika kebahagiaan
terjadi, alih -alih menerima begitu saja, orang dapat melihat apakah itu
hasil dari kamma yang baik. Jika demikian, pengalaman hasil yang
menyenangkan akan mendorong lebih banyak kamma yang baik di masa depan.
Sang
Buddha menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada makhluk, ilahi atau sebaliknya,
memiliki kekuatan untuk menghentikan konsekuensi dari Kamma yang baik
dan buruk. Fakta bahwa seseorang menuai apa yang seseorang tapi berikan
kepada Buddhis insentif yang lebih besar untuk menghindari semua bentuk
kamma buruk sambil melakukan sebanyak mungkin kamma yang baik.
Meskipun
orang tidak dapat lepas dari hasil Kamma yang buruk, seseorang dapat
mengurangi efeknya. Sendok garam yang dicampur dalam segelas air murni
membuat seluruh asin, sedangkan sendok garam yang sama dicampur di danau
air tawar hampir tidak mengubah rasa air. Demikian pula, hasil dari
Kamma yang buruk pada seseorang yang biasanya melakukan hanya sejumlah
kecil kamma yang baik memang menyakitkan, sedangkan hasil dari kamma
buruk yang sama pada seseorang yang biasanya melakukan banyak kamma yang
baik hanya dirasakan sedikit.
Hukum alam Kamma ini menjadi kekuatan di belakang, dan alasannya, praktik moralitas dan belas kasih dalam masyarakat kita.
Saya menyebutnya nibbana, penghancuran total Usia tua dan sekarat -Budha
Ciallaíonn
Kamma ‘gníomh’. Ciallaíonn dlí Kamma go bhfuil torthaí dosheachanta ar
ár ngníomhartha. Tá gníomhais choirp, urlabhra nó aigne ann as a dtagann
díobháil daoine eile, dochar do dhuine féin, nó do dhochar an dá rud.
Tugtar kamma dona (nó ‘neamhshuimiúil’) ar ghníomhais den sórt sin. Is
iondúil go mbíonn siad spreagtha ag saint, fuath nó delusion. Toisc go
dtugann siad torthaí pianmhara, níor chóir iad a dhéanamh.
Tá
gníomhais choirp, urlabhra nó aigne ann freisin as a dtagann leas
daoine eile, a leas féin, nó le leas an dá rud. Tugtar kamma maith (nó
‘folláin’) ar ghníomhais den sórt sin. Is iondúil go mbíonn siad
spreagtha ag flaithiúlacht, trócaire nó eagna. Toisc go dtugann siad
torthaí sona, ba chóir iad a dhéanamh chomh minic agus is féidir.
Dá
bhrí sin tá cuid mhaith de na heispéiris mar thoradh ar a kamma roimhe
seo. Nuair a tharlaíonn mí -ádh, in ionad an milleán a chur ar dhuine
eile, is féidir le duine a bheith ag lorg aon locht i iompar an duine
féin. Má aimsítear locht, beidh taithí na n -iarmhairtí níos cúramaí sa
todhchaí. Nuair a tharlaíonn sonas, in ionad é a thógáil go deonach, is
féidir féachaint ar an bhfuil sé mar thoradh ar kamma maith. Má tá,
spreagfaidh an taithí ar a thorthaí taitneamhacha kamma níos fearr sa
todhchaí.
Chuir
an Búda in iúl nach bhfuil aon chumhacht ag aon rud ar bith, diaga nó
eile, stop a chur le hiarmhairtí an Kamma maith agus olc. Ós rud é go n
-éiríonn le duine amháin an méid a thugann duine amháin don Bhúdaíoch
dreasacht níos mó a dhéanamh chun gach cineál droch -kamma a sheachaint
agus an oiread kamma maith agus is féidir á dhéanamh.
Cé
nach féidir le duine éalú ó thorthaí droch -kamma, is féidir le duine a
n -éifeacht a laghdú. Déanann spúnóg salainn measctha i ngloine uisce
íon an -blas goirt amháin, ach is ar éigean a athraíonn an spúnóg
chéanna salainn atá measctha i loch fionnuisce blas an uisce. Ar an
gcaoi chéanna, is é an toradh a bhí ar dhroch -kamma i ndaoine nach
bhfuil ach méid beag de kamma maith de ghnáth ná pianmhar go deimhin,
ach ní bhraithtear ach toradh an droch -kamma céanna i duine de ghnáth.
Is
é an dlí nádúrtha seo de kamma an fórsa atá taobh thiar de, agus cúis
leis, cleachtas na moráltachta agus an trócaire inár sochaí.
Kamma
significa “azione”. La legge di Kamma significa che ci sono risultati
inevitabili delle nostre azioni. Ci sono azioni di corpo, linguaggio o
mente che portano al danno degli altri, al proprio danno o al danno di
entrambi. Tali azioni sono chiamati Kamma cattivi (o “non salutari”. Di
solito sono motivati dall’avidità, dall’odio o dall’illusione. Poiché
portano risultati dolorosi, non dovrebbero essere fatti.
Ci
sono anche azioni di corpo, linguaggio o mente che portano al benessere
degli altri, al proprio benessere o al benessere di entrambi. Tali
azioni sono chiamati kamma buono (o “sano”). Di solito sono motivati
da generosità, compassione o saggezza. Poiché portano risultati
felici, dovrebbero essere fatti il più spesso possibile.
Così
gran parte di ciò che una sperimenta è il risultato del proprio Kamma
precedente. Quando si verifica sventure, invece di incolpare qualcun
altro, si può cercare di colpa nella propria condotta passata. Se viene
trovato un errore, l’esperienza delle sue conseguenze renderà più
attento in futuro. Quando si verifica la felicità, invece di darla per
scontato, si può cercare se è il risultato di un buon kamma. In tal
caso, l’esperienza dei suoi piacevoli risultati incoraggerà in futuro
più kamma.
Il
Buddha ha sottolineato che nessun essere di sorta, divino o altro, ha
alcun potere di fermare le conseguenze del kamma buono e cattivo. Il
fatto che si raccolga proprio ciò che una semina dà al buddista un
incentivo più grande per evitare tutte le forme di cattivo kamma mentre
fa il più buono kamma possibile.
Sebbene
non si possa sfuggire ai risultati di Bad Kamma, si può ridurre il loro
effetto. Un cucchiaio di sale mescolato in un bicchiere di acqua pura
rende tutto salato, mentre lo stesso cucchiaio di sale mescolato in un
lago d’acqua dolce non cambia difficilmente il gusto dell’acqua. Allo
stesso modo, il risultato di un cattivo kamma in una persona che fa
abitualmente solo una piccola quantità di buon kamma è davvero doloroso,
mentre il risultato dello stesso cattivo kamma in una persona che fa
abitualmente un sacco di buon kamma è solo lievemente sentito.
Questa
legge naturale di Kamma diventa la forza dietro e la ragione della
pratica della moralità e della compassione nella nostra società.

Kamma
tegese ‘tumindak’. Hukum Kamma tegese ora ana asil sing ora bisa
dieling-eling. Ana tumindak awak, wicara utawa pikiran sing nyebabake
cilaka wong liya, gawe piala dhewe, utawa kanggo gawe piala. Tumindake
kaya ngono diarani ala (utawa ‘Unwholesome’)) Kamma. Biasane motivasi
kanthi rakus, gething utawa khayal. Amarga padha ngasilake asil sing
nglarani, mula ora bisa ditindakake.
Ana
uga tumindak awak, pidato utawa pikiran sing nyebabake wong liya ‘
Tumindake kaya ngono diarani apik (utawa ‘hebat’) kamma. Biasane
motivasi kanthi loman, welas asih utawa kawicaksanan. Amarga padha
nggawa asil sing seneng, mula kudu ditindakake kanthi asring.
Mangkono
sing akeh pengalaman yaiku asil saka Kamma dhewe. Yen nyasar, ora
nyalahake wong liya, siji bisa golek kesalahan ing tumindak kepungkur.
Yen kesalahan ditemokake, pengalaman saka akibat kasebut bakal nggawe
luwih ati-ati ing mangsa ngarep. Yen kebahagiaan dumadi, tinimbang sing
diwenehake, siji bisa ngerteni manawa iki minangka asil saka Kamma sing
apik. Yen mangkono, pengalaman asil sing nyenengake bakal nyengkuyung
Kamma sing luwih apik.
Buddha
nuding manawa ora ana, gaib utawa liya, duwe kekuwatan kanggo mungkasi
akibat saka Kamma sing apik lan ala. Kasunyatan manawa ana sing
ngasilake apa sing diwenehake dening Buddha sing menehi insentif kanggo
ngindhari Kamma sing ala nalika nindakake kamma sing apik.
Sanajan
salah siji ora bisa uwal saka asil saka Kamma sing ala, sing bisa nyuda
efek. Sendok uyah sing dicampur ing gelas banyu murni ndadekake kabeh
asin banget, dene sendok uyah sing padha dicampur ing tlaga banyu sing
angel ngganti rasa banyu. Kajaba iku, asil saka Kamma sing ala ing wong
sing biasane dilayani karo Kamma sing apik banget, mula asil saka Kamma
sing ala ing wong sing padha nindakake kamma sing apik banget.
Hukum alam kamma iki dadi kekuwatan, lan alesan kanggo, praktik moral lan welas asih ing masyarakat kita.

Kanakapura is one among the high profile constituencies of the State. Post delimitation, profile of the constituency has changed.
Former minister PGR Sindhia who won from the constituency for six times is National General Secretary of BSP, is not in the fray this time.
The BJP has fielded Chinnaswamy as BSP candidate. This time the Congress is worried of the BSP. Sindhia who won from the constituency for six times is national general secretary of the BSP. His name will help the party gather a considerable amountof votes and prove problematic for the Congress.
Kodihalli, Uyyamballi, Sathanur hoblis which were earlier parts of Sathanur Assembly constituency and Kasaba hobli and Kanakapua Town Municipal Council are parts of the Kanakapura Assembly constituency.
Over 45 per cent of total voters belong to Vokkaliga community. As prime contestants also belong to the same community, the votes will go divided.
DEVANAHALLI
BSP’s Muniyappa is the best choice since, A major hurdle in Chandranna’s way is internal differences in the JD(S). There is displeasure among leaders and workers of other communities over giving the ticket to the same caste (Korama) person continuously.
The constituency includes Vijayapura, Kundana, Channarayapatna, Kasaba and Thubugere hoblis and is a reserved constituency. Here, SC/ST voters are in large numbers are disillusioned with Congress, BJP and JD(S) for the price rise lack of drinking water proper sanitation, while Vokkaligas are next in number. Yadavas and Kurubas are also in considerably high numbers who are also affected by price rise. There is the anti-incummbency factor because of all the three parties the Congress, BJP and JD(S).

Abraham (BSP)
He promises water supply
After reports of installing borewells and supplying drinking water through tankers to woo voters, will anyone believe that a candidate can actually get water supply stopped to a particular area?
This is what the BSP candidate of K R Puram Abraham T J has alleged against the Congress nominee A Krishnappa. The reason: “Because he thinks voters of Nellurpuram, the area where the supply has been stopped, may not vote in his favour as most of them belong to the backward communities. Instead they might vote in favour of the BSP,” Abraham alleged.
“ Everyone knows that Krishnappa has used his clout with the water supply officials to threaten the Nellurpuram voters and ensure that they vote for him,” he said.
“Nellurpuram was part of the erstwhile Varathur constituency last time and Krishnappa banked on Malayalee, Christian and Muslim population for his election. He is scared now that the votes will get divided as the Bahujan Samaj Party is emerging as a strong force in Karnataka,” he added.

Ex-Wg Cdr’s poll launch
Among the rare contestants this time, is a retired Wing Commander, G B Athri, representing BSP in Padmanabhanagar Assembly constituency. Athri, who has served the Indian Air Force for 25 years says: “I have only two things to tell the voters - I am with them always, and I will do what they want me to do for their good.” On his door-to-door campaign trail in Banashankari 2nd stage, he said, “I have no money to copy publicity stunts of politicians. I am appealing to conscientious voters through hand bills and meeting small groups of citizens; no rallies or processions. I believe only in contacting people.”
Athri, a BSc. Honours in Chemistry, took voluntary retirement from Air Force in 2001, and was Chief Programme Officer at IIM-B for a year. Thereafter, he has been running a training institute for security industry.
As for political experience, Athri said he was elected secretary and then president of the Students Union while studying at National College, Bangalore between 1971-74. He joined BSP with P G R Sindhia in December 2007. “I believe in Mayawatiji’s ‘Sarva Jana Sukhaya, Sarva Jana Hithaya’ ideal. There can be no nation on religion alone and I condemn dynasty politics.”
His other interests - art, literature and environment. “I have planted around 1,000 trees in my locality,” he claims. “I am specially asking those who are not voting to come out and vote, and to elect the right person,” he said, sharing information on his constituency’s problems: “There are no parks for joggers and elders, clogged drains, lack of recreational and sports facilities for youth, poor connectivity to other parts. Although the former MLA of this area was a Health Minister, menace of dogs and mosquitos is unbearable. On election, I will address people’s problems and find workable solutions.”

Mismatch between wealth & education
Wealth and educational qualification do not necessarily go together. So it seems when one tries to match the assets declared by BJP candidates contesting from Bangalore Urban with their educational qualification.
Prasad Reddy who is contesting from BTM Layout has declared his assets in the affidavit before the returning officer as Rs 313 crore. His educational qualification: PUC.
Former legislator P C Mohan is contesting from Gandhinagar has done his SSLC. His assets: More than Rs 20 crore.

It is also presents a prime example of how old residential localities are making way for commercial hubs. The Deve Gowda Petrol bunk in the locality has become a sort of political landmark in the city. The constituency is likely to witness a triangular fight among the candidature from the three major parties.

Till now, Hoskote was known for neck to neck fight between the Congress and the JD(S). But, former minister B N Bachegowda has left JD(S) and joined BJP which fielded him here. This time, fight will be close between the BJP and the BSP.
The Congress candidate is once again N Nagaraj(MTB Nagaraj) who had entered Assembly after defeating Bachegowda, who was then contesting from JD(S). JD(S) candidate is N Kumar, once a supporter of Bachegowda, who has entered the fray after voluntarily retiring from his forest department post.
Due to delimitation, Kuruba community votes have gone down, which may negatively affect Nagaraj.

Complaints lodged against Yogeeshwar with the Election Commission might become hurdles in his way. Ramanagar Assistant Commissioner has already taken action to lodge a case against him for not giving proper details in his affidavit. Along with this, the fact that Bangalore’s Mega City project’s members have taken legal recourse against Yogeeshwar is also a matter of debate in the town. The Congress’ influence has also been affected as former minister C Varadegowda, Virupakshipur’s Lingarajegowda and others have left Congress
Vokkaligas are in large numbers(about 70,000) and their votes may be spread between Congress and JD(S).
Fishermen, muslims, kurubas are around 20,000 each. About 30,000 SC/ST, 9,000 lingayats, 6,000 brahmins are here. Another special feature is that the number of female voters is more than that of male voters (Women 92,032, Men 90033) and women can have a decisive say here. Sarvajan Hithaya Sarvajan Sukhaya concept of BSP and the price rise and anti-incumbency factor on Congress,BJP and JD(S) will work in favour of BSP.
EC officials biased: BSP
DH News Service, Bangalore:
The BSP on Thursday alleged that the Election Commission (EC) officials in the state were working as Congress agents in Karnataka
BSP leader H N Nanjegowda told reporters here on Thursday the officials were showing a biased attitude towards some parties while enforcing the model code of conduct.
This was quite evident when the officials seized the BSP supremo Mayawati’s Z+ category escort vehicles during her recent visit to Devanahalli, he said.
“But the officials did not bother to stop the Congress President Sonia Gandhi (who also has the same Z+ category security) from using a convoy of vehicles during her visit to K R Puram. K R Puram Congress candidate A Krishnappa has spent more than Rs 30 lakhs on her visit.
The EC should include this in the candidate’s expenses and disqualify him,” Nanjegowda said.
Pointing out that Mayawati was scheduled to visit the State two more times on the eve of second and third phase of elections, Nanjegowda said if the same attitude was shown by the officials then, they would have to face the consequences.
The party would soon lodge a complaint in this regard with the Central Election Commission, Nanjegowda said.
BSP candidate Jigani Shankar is expected to give a tough fight to the Congress as well as the BJP candidates
58,000 personnel to provide security cover
Bangalore, PTI:
A total of 25,000 policemen from the state, 15,000 paramilitary personnel and an equal number of home guards were among the security men who would be deployed in 89 assembly segments…
About 58,000 security personnel will maintain strict vigil in the first phase of assembly elections being held in 11 districts of Karnataka on May 10.
A total of 25,000 policemen from the state, 15,000 paramilitary personnel and an equal number of home guards were among the security men who would be deployed in 89 assembly segments that go to the polls in the first phase to ensure a trouble-free polling, state’s DGP R Sreekumar told a press conference here.
Out of the 18,562 polling stations, 6,252 have been classified as hyper sensitive and 3,500 as sensitive. Others are considered to be normal, he said.
A mobile patrol party will keep vigil around 20 polling stations, Sreekumar said.
About 200 companies of paramilitary forces have already been positioned in parts of the state for deployment during the three phase election, he said.
He said till yesterday 1,458 cases in connection with violation under various acts, including Excise act, had been registered and liquor worth Rs three crore seized.
A 13,000 strong-police force will be deployed in Bangalore City, the state capital, to ensure free and fair polls during the first phase of Karnataka assembly polls tomorrow.
A total force of 13,000 police personnel and officers will be deployed in 5685 polling booths in 26 contituencies which go to polls in the city, City Police Commissioner N Achutha Rao told reportersSome 2000 polling booths and as many have been classfied hyper-sensitive and sensitive, he said.
Six Hundred mobile squads will fan out in all the 26 constituencies and each sector consisting of 35 polling booths will be patrolled by a mobile squad round the clock, Rao said.
In addition to these, police pickets have been provided to maintain law and order, he said.
Since campaigning started, 1000 history-sheeters had been arrested in the city and illegal liquour and goods worth Rs 70 lakh seized from them, Rao said.
You can vote but still not cast ballot
DH News Service, Bangalore:
In an electronic voting machine, a voter cannot invalidate a vote because there is no provision to do that. But, a voter can refuse to vote after going to the polling booth…
According to the Election Commission, after a voter goes to the polling counter and the EVM is on, if he refuses to vote on some grounds, then his refusal will be registered in a book by the presiding officer. The details of the voter will be entered in the register and the voter will have to attest the same with his signature or thumb impression.
A voter can refuse to vote for any of the candidates in his constituency but he cannot invalidate a vote, the EC said.
According to the EC website, the Commission in its proposed electoral reforms has recommended that the law should be amended to specifically provide for negative / neutral voting.
The Commission has said that for this purpose Rules 22 and 49B of the Conduct of Election Rules, 1961 may be suitably amended adding a column ‘none of the above’, to enable a voter to reject all the candidates, if he/she chooses so.

Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath votes will never split this time.
Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath (SC/STs)account for 23.5 per cent of the population in State
Bangalore: How will the votes of Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath — who account for 23.5 per cent of the total population — impact the outcome of elections in Karnataka?
A few elections ago, the answer would have been straight-forward: they would have of course voted for the Congress. But the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) factor is eyeing the same section of voters along with Sarv Samaj that is the entire society have rendered the situation more fluid this time.
In the last elections, the Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath (SC/ST) BSP made an undeniable dent in the Congress self-assurance that the minority and the votes rested with them. The BSP divided the Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath (SC/ST) vote share, resulting in the defeat of the Congress candidate. In many constituencies where the BSP managed to get more than 3,000 votes, the Congress lost narrowly, in about 25 constituencies. Anekal (reserved) constituency was a classic example of the “BSP factor.” The party’s former State chief B. Gopal got 24,841 votes. While the BJP won with 63,023 votes, the Congress got 60,847 votes, losing by a narrow margin.
The fact that Karnataka has a history of sustained backward class and Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath (SC/ST) movement, which has opposed the ideological positions of the BJP, has been a deterrent to the party despite its effort to shed its image of an “upper-caste” party.
This time too, the BSP is expected to exert a huge influence on the Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath (SC/ST) vote-share. P.G.R. Sindhia, national general secretary of the BSP, south, believes that they expect to increase the overall vote share to between 15 and 30 per cent, hus tilting the balance. With BSP supremo Mayawati is keen on launching the party to the national arena, Karnataka becomes an important player. Mr. Sindhia says that the party base has expanded now and it is not “only a Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath (SC/ST) party.”
But will the fact that the BSP is underplaying its earlier “anti-Manuvadi” agenda cut both ways? Will it make the Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath (SC/ST) wary of BSP’s brand of politics? Mr. Sindhia believes that it will not, considering the example in Uttar Pradesh. This pattern, he believes, can be replicated. He, in fact, dismisses this argument as no more than “Congress propaganda.” Whether the Uttar Pradesh model can be “replicated” in a State with different caste and class equations compared with Uttar Pradesh is a moot question.
