UP POLICE: इस पुलिस वाले को दंडित करने के लिए कुछ करने के लिए प्रयास करें
10 घंटे की कड़ी मेहनत के बाद रोज 50 रूपए कमाने वाले कृष्ण कुमार को इस बात का अंदाजा भी न था, कि उनका 4 हजार रूपए का पुराना टाइप राईटर मित्र पुलिस की एक लात भी न झेल पायेगा। लेकिन उन्होंने दुबारा कोशिश की और गरीबी की चादर ओढ़ते हुए कहा साहब माफ़ कर दो, लेकिन साहब के कंधो पर लगे सितारों की चमक इतनी तेज थी कि उस गरीब की आँखों में आये आंसुओं की चमक फीकी पड़ गयी।
साहब ने अपने मजबूत हाथ एक झटके से टाइप राईटर को उठाकर फेंक दिया। दूर गिरा टाइप राईटर किसी गरीब के सपनों की तरह टूट कर बिखर गया। 65 वर्षीय कृष्ण कुमार अपने सपने को यूँ बिखरता देख उसे समेटने में लग गए, लेकिन मानो वहां टूटा पड़ा हर टुकड़ा चीख चीख कर कह रहा था कि अब हम नही जुड़ेंगे।
जब उनसे पूछा कि अब क्या करेंगे तो उन्होंने कहा कि पिछले 35 साल से यही काम कर रहा हूँ और बहुत कुछ अपनी आँखों के सामने बदलते देखा, लेकिन अब शायद खुद को बदलने की जरुरत है, अब हिंदी के तरह मेरे टाइप राइटर की भी देश को जरुरत नही है। ये कहते हुए वह अपने टूटे टाइप राईटर को निहारने लगे।

टाइपराइटर को फेंका।
लखनऊ. राजधानी के जीपीओ चौराहे से महज कुछ दूरी पर शनिवार को पुलिस का अमानवीय चेहरा सामने दिखा। एक तरफ जहां सीएम विधानसभा में अफसरों को गरीबों-मजलूमों की मदद करने की हिदायत दे रहे थे, वहीं उनसे कुछ दूरी पर सचिवालय चौकी प्रभारी प्रदीप कुमार गरीबों पर जुल्म ढा रहे थे। गरीब हाथ जोड़कर खड़ा था और दरोगा उनकी रोजी-रोटी को खत्म कर रहा था। इस दौरान दरोगा ने मीडियाकर्मियों से भी कहा, 'मेरा नाम बड़े-बड़े अक्षरों में लिखना, जिससे एसएसपी भी मेरे बारे में जान सकें।' हालांकि, dainikbhaskar.com पर खबर फ्लैश होते ही आरोपी दारोगा प्रदीप कुमार को तुरंत स्स्पेंड कर दिया गया।
शनिवार को विधानसभा में प्रदेश भर के अफसरों की एक बैठक बुलाई गई थी। सीएम अखिलेश यादव इसमें अचानक से पहुंच गए थे। इस दौरान सीएम ने अफसरों को नसीहत दी कि वे गरीबों और मजलूमों का पूरा ध्यान रखें। इसी बीच जीपीओ चौराहे पर चौकी प्रभारी प्रदीप कुमार लोगों को वर्दी की हनक दिखा रहे थे। वह जीपीओ चौराहे के किनारे दुकान चलाने वाले गरीबों के सामान को अपने बूट से तोड़ रहे थे और उन्हें भगा रहे थे। बताते चलें कि जीपीओ के किनारे लगे दुकानों को सिर्फ मायावती की फ्लीट जाते समय ही हटाया जाता था। इस सरकार में यह पहला मौका है जब दरोगा ने उन्हें वहां से भगाया।
फोटोजर्नलिस्ट को को धमकी देता दरोगा।
दरोगा ने तोड़ा टाइपराइटर, गिराया दूध
सचिवालय चौकी प्रभारी प्रदीप कुमार अपनी दबंगई के लिए जाने जाते हैं। गरीबों में उनके नाम की दहशत है। शनिवार को उन्होंने बूट मारकर वहां मौजूद दुकानें हटाई, इसके बाद हाथ से उठाकर टाइपराइटर भी फेंक दिया। यही नहीं, सड़क किनारे चाय लगाने वालों के बर्तन फेंक दिया, जिससे उसमें रखा दूध वहां फैल गया। इससे गरीबों को हजारों का नुकसान हुआ।
चाय की दुकान को किया तहस-नहस।
जीने का जरिया ख़त्म कर दिया
जीपीओ चौराहे पर पिछले 35 सालों से टाइपराइटर लेकर बैठने वाले कृष्ण कुमार का रो-रो कर बुरा हाल है। वह कहते हैं कि बड़ी मुश्किल से उधार लेकर तीन साल पहले 5 हजार का टाइपराइटर खरीदा था। इसे दरोगा ने फेंक कर तोड़ दिया। अब यह टाइपराइटर बन भी नहीं पाएगा। उन्होंने कहा, 'मैं हाथ जोड़ता रहा लेकिन दरोगा का दिल नहीं पसीजा और उन्होंने मेरे परिवार के जीने का जरिया ही ख़त्म कर दिया। बड़ी मुश्किल से रुपए कमा पाता हूं, अब वह भी मयस्सर नहीं हो पाएगा।'

25,000 Farmers Seek President’s Permission To Hang Themselves On Independence Day
Source:blogbigtime
Around 25,000 farmers in Mathura have sought permission from President Pranab Mukherjee to commit suicide on August 15, after a 17-year-long struggle to get compensation from the government.
The farmers have been highlighting their grievances for the past few weeks. Kisan Sangh, a farmer leader, accused the district authorities of ignoring the interests of farmers and their needs.
The farmers are demanding compensation for damage to standing crops which were submerged as a result of the rising level of water of the nearby Yamuna river. Their land has been lost at four times the rate and many of them are still in jail following protests in December on the Delhi-Agra highway.
Officials have identified around a few numbers who need to be compensated. “The Allahabad High Court is seized of the matter, and a decision is likely in a few days” says an official.
“We have lost all and want to end our lives. We want the president’s permission,” said Roop Singh, another farmer.
Seeing no hope, now the villagers under the banner of Bharatiya Kisan Sangh sent a letter to the President on Saturday seeking permission to commit suicide by hanging. According the government officials’ valuation, 25,000 farmers should get around Rs 800 crore as compensation for around 700 acres of land as reported by TOI
Meet The Man Behind Our Mighty Tricolor
Image Source: viswatelugusangamam
On 22 July, 1947, the Constitution Drafting Committee resolved to approve the tricolour as the Republic of India’s national flag. Our national flag was designed by Shri. Pingali Venkayya. Venkayya’s version was first designed for the Indian National Congress and subsequently modified in 1947.
According to The Hindu, “Pingali Venkayya was an authority in geology, agriculture and also an educationist who set up an educational institution in Machilipatnam. He, however, died in poverty in 1963 and was largely forgotten by the society and by his own party, the Congress.” A postage stamp was issued to commemorate him in 2009
Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who later became India’s first Vice President and second President, clarified the adopted flag and described its significance as follows:
“Bhagwa or the saffron colour denotes renunciation or disinterestedness. Our leaders must be indifferent to material gains and dedicate themselves to their work.
The white in the centre is light, the path of truth to guide our conduct.
The green shows our relation to (the) soil, our relation to the plant life here, on which all other life depends.
The “Ashoka Chakra” in the centre of the white is the wheel of the law of dharma. Truth or satya, dharma or virtue ought to be the controlling principle of those who work under this flag.
Again, the wheel denotes motion. There is death in stagnation. There is life in movement. India should no more resist change, it must move and go forward. The wheel represents the dynamism of a peaceful change.”

- Childhood in a village
I spent the first seven years of my life in Teeparru, a small village in Andhra Pradesh, on the banks of the river Godavari . My father Prasad was a lorry driver and my mother Kumari, a house wife. Though they were illiterate, my parents instilled in me and my elder sister (Sirisha) the importance of studying.
Looking back, one thing that surprises me now is the way my father taught me when I was in the 1st and 2nd standards. My father would ask me questions from the text book, and I would answer them. At that time, I didn’t know he could not read or write but to make me happy, he helped me in my studies!
Another memory that doesn’t go away is the floods in the village and how I was carried on top of a buffalo by my uncle. I also remember plucking fruits from a tree that was full of thorns.
I used to be very naughty, running around and playing all the time with my friends.. I used to get a lot of scolding for disturbing the elders who slept in the afternoon. The moment they started scolding, I would run away to the fields!
I also remember finishing my school work fast in class and sleeping on the teacher’s lap!

- January 11, 1993, the fateful day
On the January 11, 1993 when we had the sankranti holidays, my mother took my sister and me to a nearby village for a family function. From there we were to go with our grandmother to our native place. But my grandmother did not come there. As there were no buses that day, my mother took a lift in my father’s friend’s lorry. As there were many people in the lorry, he made me sit next to him, close to the door.
It was my fault; I fiddled with the door latch and it opened wide throwing me out. As I fell, my legs got cut by the iron rods protruding from the lorry. Nothing happened to me except scratches on my legs.
The accident had happened just in front of a big private hospital but they refused to treat me saying it was an accident case. Then a police constable who was passing by took us to a government hospital.
First I underwent an operation as my small intestine got twisted. The doctors also bandaged my legs. I was there for a week. When the doctors found that gangrene had developed and it had reached up to my knees, they asked my father to take me to a district hospital. There, the doctors scolded my parents a lot for neglecting the wounds and allowing the gangrene to develop. But what could my ignorant parents do?
In no time, both my legs were amputated up to the hips.
I remember waking up and asking my mother, where are my legs? I also remember that my mother cried when I asked the question. I was in the hospital for three months.

- Life without legs
I don’t think my life changed dramatically after I lost both my legs. Because all at home were doting on me, I was enjoying all the attention rather than pitying myself. I was happy that I got a lot of fruits and biscuits.
‘I never wallowed in self-pity’
The day I reached my village, my house was flooded with curious people; all of them wanted to know how a boy without legs looked. But I was not bothered; I was happy to see so many of them coming to see me, especially my friends!
All my friends saw to it that I was part of all the games they played; they carried me everywhere.
God’s hand. I believe in God. I believe in destiny. I feel he plans everything for you. If not for the accident, we would not have moved from the village to Tanuku, a town. There I joined a missionary school, and my father built a house next to the school. Till the tenth standard, I studied in that school.
If I had continued in Teeparu, I may not have studied after the 10th. I may have started working as a farmer or someone like that after my studies. I am sure God had other plans for me.

- My sister, my friend
When the school was about to reopen, my parents moved from Teeparu to Tanuku, a town, and admitted both of us in a Missionary school. They decided to put my sister also in the same class though she is two years older. They thought she could take care of me if both of us were in the same class. My sister never complained.
She would be there for everything. Many of my friends used to tell me, you are so lucky to have such a loving sister. There are many who do not care for their siblings.
She carried me in the school for a few years and after a while, my friends took over the task. When I got the tricycle, my sister used to push me around in the school.
My life, I would say, was normal, as everyone treated me like a normal kid. I never wallowed in self-pity. I was a happy boy and competed with others to be on top and the others also looked at me as a competitor.

- Inspiration
I was inspired by two people when in school; my Maths teacher Pramod Lal who encouraged me to participate in various local talent tests, and a brilliant boy called Chowdhary, who was my senior.
When I came to know that he had joined Gowtham Junior College to prepare for IIT-JEE, it became my dream too. I was school first in 10th scoring 542/600.
Because I topped in the state exams, Gowtham Junior College waived the fee for me. Pramod Sir’s recommendation also helped. The fee was around Rs 50,000 per year, which my parents could never afford.

- Moving to a residential school
Living in a residential school was a big change for me because till then my life centred around home and school and I had my parents and sister to take care of all my needs. It was the first time that I was interacting with society. It took one year for me to adjust to the new life.
There, my inspiration was a boy called K K S Bhaskar who was in the top 10 in IIT-JEE exams. He used to come to our school to encourage us. Though my parents didn’t know anything about Gowtham Junior School or IIT, they always saw to it that I was encouraged in whatever I wanted to do.. If the results were good, they would praise me to the skies and if bad, they would try to see something good in that. They did not want me to feel bad. They are such wonderful supportive parents.

- Life at IIT- Madras
Though my overall rank in the IIT-JEE was not that great (992), I was 4th in the physically handicapped category. So, I joined IIT, Madras to study Computer Science.
Here, my role model was Karthik who was also my senior in school. I looked up to him during my years at IIT- Madras. He had asked for attached bathrooms for those with special needs before I came here itself. So, when I came here, the room had attached bath. He used to help me and guide me a lot when I was here.
I evolved as a person in these four years, both academically and personally. It has been a great experience studying here. The people I was interacting with were so brilliant that I felt privileged to sit along with them in the class. Just by speaking to my lab mates, I gained a lot..

He had asked for attached bathrooms for those with special needs before I came here itself. So, when I came here, the room had attached bath. He used to help me and guide me a lot when I was here.
I evolved as a person in these four years, both academically and personally. It has been a great experience studying here. The people I was interacting with were so brilliant that I felt privileged to sit along with them in the class. Just by speaking to my lab mates, I gained a lot..
‘There are more good people in society than bad ones’
- July 28, 2008
Words are inadequate to express my gratitude to Prof Pandurangan and all my lab mates; all were simply great. I was sent to Boston along with four others for our internship by Prof Pandurangan. It was a great experience.
- Joining Google R&D
I did not want to pursue PhD as I wanted my parents to take rest now. Morgan Stanley selected me first but I preferred Google because I wanted to work in pure computer science, algorithms and game theory.
I am lucky. Do you know why I say I am lucky?
I get help from total strangers without me asking for it. Once after my second year at IIT, I with some of my friends was travelling in a train for a conference. We met a kind gentleman called Sundar in the train, and he has been taking care of my hostel fees from then on.
I have to mention about Jaipur foot. I had Jaipur foot when I was in 3rd standard. After two years, I stopped using them. As I had almost no stems on my legs, it was very tough to tie them to the body. I found walking with Jaipur foot very, very slow. Sitting also was a problem. I found my tricycle faster because I am one guy who wants to do things faster.
One great thing about the hospital is, they don’t think their role ends by just fixing the Jaipur foot; they arrange for livelihood for all. They asked me what help I needed from them. I told them at that time, if I got into an IIT, I needed financial help from them. So, from the day I joined IIT, Madras , my fees were taken care of by them. So, my education at the IIT was never a burden on my parents and they could take care of my sister’s Nursing studies.

- Surprise awaited me at IIT
After my first year, when I went home, two things happened here at the Institute without my knowledge.
I got a letter from my department that they had arranged a lift and ramps at the department for me. It also said that if I came a bit early and checked whether it met with my requirements, it would be good.
Second surprise was, the Dean, Prof Idichandy and the Students General Secretary, Prasad had located a place that sold powered wheel chairs. The cost was Rs 55,000. What they did was, they did not buy the wheel chair; they gave me the money so that the wheel chair belonged to me and not the institute.

My life changed after that. I felt free and independent. That’s why I say I am lucky. God has planned things for me and takes care of me at every step.

The holy month of Srawan (August) has brought enthusiasm among the Hindu devotees. It is an auspicious month and Lord Shiva is worshiped widely in various ways. But for Mohammed Zahir this is just another month. He is the caretaker of Lord Shiva temple in Khandwa, Indore. He takes care of the temple with the same enthusiasm as for the Dargah round the year.

From dawn to dusk he takes care of the temple, from cleaning the periphery of the temple to the core of it, that is, the ‘Lingam’. Religions have never been an obstacle to his services. He believes that Allah, God, Bhagwan all are one, but our way of thinking makes them different.
He hails from Asirgarh twenty kilometer away from Burhanpur near ‘Asirgarh’ fort in MP. He has been offering his services to the historic Lord Shiva temple for the last six years. The temple comes under ASI site and it employed him as the caretaker. Forty-years-old Zahir happily took the job saying that it was his privilege to serve the temple.

As there is no ‘Pundit’ to offer any prayer or to do the rituals, he alone helps tourists offering their prayers and garlands that they bring for the temple. He also offers his services to the Dargah 100 meter away, which also comes under ASI. He takes care of both the places equally and thinks that it will help him teach equality and harmony to his five children.
If we come out of our ego and are driven by love, there is nothing to hate, no religion above or below, no God bigger or smaller; there is only one power which runs this universe and for that, all are the same. If we see this bigger picture like Zahir, then we can have harmony and peace in the world.
12 Year Old Muslim Girl From Mumbai Wins A Gita Competition Breaking All Stereotypes
Twelve-year-old Maryam Siddiqui, a class VI student from Mumbai has won the first position at the 'Gita Champions League' contest, defeating 3,000 participants. The written competition based on the Bhagwad Gita was organized by the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (Iskcon) in January.
A student of Cosmopolitan High School, Mira Road, Maryam had always been inquisitive about religions and read them during her free hours. "I have always been inquisitive about religions and I often read up on them during my free time. So when my teacher told me about this contest I thought it would be a good chance to understand what the book is about. My parents too supported my idea of participating in the contest," said Maryam, according to a Times of India report.
Maryam has always had conversations based on religion with her parents and had studied material provided by Iskcon for almost a month before answering the 100 mark multiple choice question based test.
"Our family believes that one needs to respect and accept all religions. No religion preaches hatred or wrong," said Maryam's father, Asif Siddiqui.
Earlier in March, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar had said that the government will introduce teaching of Bhagwad Gita in schools across the state from the coming academic session.
