A Full Meal That Costs Just Re One. Meet the Man Behind it
Venkataraman, owner of AMV Homely Mess has been providing the Re one meal for the past eight years.
ERODE: What can Re one get you in these days of escalating costs?
A full meal no less, at a mess run by a service-minded man for the attenders of poor patients at the Government Headquarters Hospital in Erode.
Venkataraman, owner of AMV Homely Mess has been providing the Re one meal for the past eight years, besides the regular "tiffin" in the morning and night.
He recalls an incident in 2007 which moved him to make this decision. An old woman came to his mess to buy idlis for her ailing husband when there were none available.
He suggested she buy three dosas for Rs. 10. She however, said it was costly for her. Even if she did manage to do buy them, she would have to share it equally with her husband and it would be inadequate for both of them.
Venkatraman said he immediately gave her six dosas for the same price, and since then started offering tiffin and meals at low rates to the attenders of patients at the hospital.
"In 2007, I visited Government Headquarters Hospital and enquired about patients with the incharge nurse there. I was told by their attenders that almost all patients there were from poor families and could not afford food daily; only tea or bread at noon and night."
He then decided to offer food at lower rates to such attenders of patients.
He visited the Government Hospital the next day, met nurses and senior doctors and told them he would provide meals at Re one to an attender. From that day on, he and his wife began visiting the hospital daily to offer 10 tokens to attenders.
"Now for the past few months the number has increased from 10 to 70 per day. In the morning I give 10 tokens, for which three dosas and two idlis are given. In the afternoon, 40 attenders are given meals comprising five items and at night 20 attenders are given dosa and chapati, every meal for just Re one.
"We have decided to increase the number from 70 to 100 in the coming years," he says.
His wife said they charge Rs. 50 per meal from the public, but are planning to continue the Re one meal scheme, despite incurring heavy losses.
Venkatraman employs eight workers at his mess and there is no service on Sundays.
"I am ready to grant the food free of cost, but if I collect at least Re one, the buyer will not waste it. The food is given in packets and no one is allowed to eat inside the mess, but are advised to take it to the hospital, where others can also share the food."
The couple have two girl children, one of whom is married and the other an engineering student. Story First Published: August 31, 2015 12:43 IST

http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/state-view-a-promise-ends-in-a-riot-in-tamil-nadu/article7569721.ece?homepage=true#comments
                        

  In this DAY&AGE &that too nearly 70 years after Independence&with the CONSTITUTION of
our Democratic,Socialist &Secular Republic having  strongly PROSCRIBED the pernicious practice of UNTOUCHABILITY& DISCRIMINATION against Dalits and ALSO with a VERY
STRICT " Prevention of  Atrocities  against Dalits Act" in place, such Violent  CARNAGE
CONTINUE and that too , carnage that are APPARENTLY PLANED  and EXECUTED
with IMPUNITY against DALITS?!
                          

What's more surprising& unfortunate is that this kind of VIOLENT CASTE DIVISION /
STRATIFICATION between the Vanniars and Dalits has got developed & now
ACCENTUATED in some places in the State of Tamil Nadu, in which the historical
"ANTI- UPPER CASTE -HEGEMONY " movement, that is,the" DRAVIDA
KZHAGAM MOVEMENT" that was started by Perriyar and sustained later by Annadurrai
and Karunanidhi with all the "Non-Brahminical  Castes"  uniting to Throw out UPPER CASTE HEGEMONY/APARTHEID has now turned in to an INTERNECINE FIGHT  within  other
castes?!
                                        One  WONDERS Why?! - Of late, Who or WHICH GROUP
is involved in EXACERBATING the CASTEIST and COMMUNAL STRIFE between VARIOUS
CASTE GROUPS in Tamil Nadu, using a VERY IMPERCEPTIBLE "DIVIDE and
RULE" Political POLICY and AGENDA?!
                  

 Your GUESS is  AS GOOD as MINE! Yes its the SAME GROUP and its SOUTHERN AFFILIATES that has also ENGINEERED COMMUNAL HATRED between Hindus
and MUSLIMS in INDIA from almost 85 Years now and which in  FACT was the REAL DRIVING FORCE & major CAUSE for SOME North  India -  based Muslims under the Influence of an EQUALLY COMMUNAL MUSLIM LEAGUE to demand for PARTITION & for the CREATION of Pakistan, much against the wishes of Mahatma Gandhi and ALSO against all THOSE INDIAN MUSLIMS like US, who  DID not MIGRATE then to Pakistan  and WILLINGLY REMAINED BEHIND in INDIA, LOVING and calling INDIA their  MOTHERLAND but who have subsequently, POST INDEPENDENCE been DISCRIMINATED LEFT RIGHT and CENTER on all COUNTS and in all SOCIO-ECONOMIC FIELDS!

                    AND, those INDIAN Muslims and their Progeny in India are now facing a DIRECT ONSLAUGHT, especially after the NEW DISPENSATION has got the POWER at the Center, SPECIFICALLY,REGULARLY and THOROUGHLY ( and I must also add here that,some other Minorities like the Indian Christians  too are being made to suffer like this!) without any RESPITE from the FRINGE ELEMENTS of the EXTENDED SANGH PARIVAR  who, going against Constitution of our Democratic, Socialist and Secular Republic, threaten this Muslim Community on one pretext or the other and who would like to DISENFRANCHISE the whole
Community( Refer - Shiv Sena -Samna's Editorial on this issue!) and reduce them
to a SECOND CLASS CITIZENSHIP!
                          

                  If their ATTEMPTS at POLARISING the TWO MAJOR COMMUNITIES in INDIA - Hindus and Muslims, by PITTING one against the OTHER FALLACIOUSLY  as IMMUTABLE ANTIPATHETIC and ANTAGONISTIC GROUPS who can't TOLERATE EACH other and hence have to  be REDUCED to WARRING FACTIONS who  have to ASSERT HEGEMONY
OVER the OTHER in some fashion or the other on almost on a DAILY BASIS,AND 
 If  these COMMUNALISTS/ EXTREMIST  of all HUES ( both Muslims ans well as Hindu and others!) who  DIVIDE & RULE with their  Fanatic Extremism are not STOPPED in their Tracts before it is TOO LATE, India and hence ALL of US INDIANS will have to SIMPLY give up ALL those GLORIOUS GOLDEN DREAMS of TURNING  INDIA in to a FULLY DEVELOPED  SUPER POWER within the next few DECADES - a DREAM that was RECENTLY given to us as an  IMMINENTLY POSSIBLE DREAM by our recently DECEASED Ex-President,( Janab - Marhoom) - AVUL PAKEER JAINULABDEEN ABDUL KALAM and If we are made to MISS this DEVELOPMENT BUS now through these ENGINEERED INTERNECINE FIGHTS for SUPREMACY, we may instead FALL in to an UNFATHOMABLY DEEP QUAGMIRE of COMMUNAL STRIFE that no one in their senses would even like to even contemplate!  
                     

              So let us - ALL Indians -Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Jains, Budhists ,and so on and so forth (That is;  ALL the DIVERSE COMMUNITIES that exist in India's VASTLY  DIVERSE but EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL MOSAIC") join UNITEDLY to MAKE / CONVERT  INDIA once again in to the "GOLDEN SPARROW" that it once was, by giving up all our SUPERFICIAL DIFFERENCES of CASTE, CREED, RELIGION, REGION, LANGUAGE & ETHNICITY and CONCENTRATE  ONLY on  POSITIVE, RE-CONCILIATORY/  REBUILDING ETHOS and  ON a CONSTANT UNINTERRUPTED and UNINTERRUPTIBLE DEVELOPMENT of the NATION  so as to ERADICATE the still existing POVERTY, PENURY and PESSIMISM in MANY TENS of MILLIONS of our COUNTRYMEN!

The entire SPEECH by Sushma Swaraj in LOKSABHA
the other day, that has been LAPPED UP by Electronic MEDIA as some GLORIOUS
FIGHT against INJUSTICE to her for sake of TRPS, was riddled with "BELOW
the BELT" attacks on a DEAD MAN - Rajiv Gandhi who was neither there in
PARLIAMENT nor is even in this WORLD to defend himself, even though, despite
all the BIG HUE & CRY over Quatrochi issue, he finally had a more direct
CLEAN CHIT from Courts than MODI - that he did not benefit from BOFORS, & the
other Andresson / Adil Sharyar issue she raised was more in the NATURE of
SLANDEROUS HYSTERIA without any PROOF!

AND now we SEE Jaitey making REPEATED PERSONAL
ATTACKS on Rahul Gandhi, by derisively claiming that "Rahul is an Expert
without Knowledge" which is a LAUGHABLE contradiction in TERMS & now, here
he makes one more PERSONAL attack that "Rahul Becomes more IMMATURE" as
he grows!

            
Has anybody noticed? Nowadays Jaitely's " VERBAL- LEG / OFF – Spinners
/ Googlies / Chinamen / Doosras / Teesras ( using CRICKET ANALOGY for this
"Doctor of Spin's" artistry with a LENGTHY FORKED TONGUE resembling
that of a COBRA'S with which he FEELS he CAN turn any ISSUE on its
HEAD!)";These are becoming "SHRILL PERSONAL ATTACKS on
OPPOSITION" to COVER UP ABJECT FAILURES and CORRUPTION of all the
BHARASHTACHAR JUMLA U-turn PARTY - Governments ( Governments that are
Government -"BY"- the CORPORATES, "OF"- the CORPORATES and
"FOR - the CORPORATES!) both at the center as well as in States like
Rajasthan [With Rani (?) Vasundhara Raje & her son Prince (?) Dushyant
under the dock in a SCAM connected with the FUGITIVE - Ex IPL CHAIRMAN LALIT
MODI] , Maharashtra [With Pankaja Munde, Tawde & another Minister under the
Dock there!], Madhya Pradesh [Shivraj (some have started calling him YAMRAJ!)
Singh Chouhan under the Dock for the Sinister and Murderously Macabre Vyapam
Scam in which purportedly ( So FAR & ALREADY- “ONLY”!) 48 Witnesses &
Accused persons have been Killed] , Delhi - Madam Smiriti Irani the FAMOUS or
is it the INFAMOUS EDUCATION MINISTER who is SUSPECTED of being a 10th PASS (or
is it the 12 th FAIL or 12th PASS or DOES SHE POSSES a so called "YELLING
DEGREE from YALE UNIVERSITY in USA ? – It is Highly Confusing, because she has
reportedly submitted various & DIFFERENT AFFIDAVITS to EC claiming SUCH
DIVERSE HIGH QUALIFICATIONS at various points of time for which she is ALSO
under the DOCK in a COURT of LAW!)!


















AND the “MOTHER of ALL CONFLICT of INTEREST
SCAM” – that of Sushma Swaraj HELPING a FUGITIVE from Indian LAW, Ex IPL
CHAIRMAN, LALIT MODI, on a PRETEXT of “Humanitarian HELP” – So that Lalit Modi
would be able to obtain TRAVEL DOCUMMENTS from Britain to Travel to Brazil on a
pretext of a CANCER OPERATION of his ailing wife ( But who was LATER,
within  a day after reaching Brazil,  FOUND “PAINTING the WHOLE WORLD RED” with
VERY FAMOUS BEUTIES and CELEBRITIES, making the “Help on “HUMANITARIAN GROUNDS”
CLAIM  by SUSHMA SWARAJ to be a FARCICAL
UNTRUTH and in REAL TRUTH it was indeed a CLANDESTINE HELP of a OLD FAMILY
FRIEND as well as EMPLOYER of her Lawyer Husband and Advocate Daughter, making
this an OPEN and SHUT case of becoming an ACCESSORY after the FACT by
CLANDESTINELY HELPING A FUGITIVE from INDIAN LAW  where a CLEAR CONFLICT of INTEREST EXISTED
barring her from EVEN TAKING a HUMANITARIAN CONSIDERATION in respect of LALIT

Lethal lottery or just deserts? - The Hindu

Lethal lottery or just deserts? - The Hindu





Lethal lottery or just deserts? By Sanjay Hegde- The Hindu, August 5, 2015

http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/lead/lethal-lottery-or-just-deserts/article7500465.ece#comments





                               Considering this COGENT ARGUMENT; " Where even the prosecution case was of a conspiracy hatched abroad by Dawood Ibrahim and given effect to by Yakub’s brother, Ibrahim (Tiger) Memon, it is hard to see Yakub as having played a commanding role when contrasted with the principal conspirators. However, when compared with the people actually apprehended and put on trial, Yakub was the biggest fish available to fry. Yakub probably would not have been sentenced to death had he had his brother’s company through the trial and appeal", We perforce have to answer Justice Hegde's question -"But did Justice triumph? Was Yakub served his just deserts or was he made a scapegoat of by the system?"



                            - "JUSTICE DID NOT TRIUMPH" as Yakub's Hanging left MANY QUESTIONS unanswered, like, supposing  Indian State had successfully Caught the Bigger& more COMMANDING Conspirators Dawood Ibrahim&Tiger Menon & put them also on trial with Yakub, wouldn’t Yakub also have got a REPRIEVE & the OTHER two HANGED?





                               If Dawood&Tiger Menon hd faced trial along wth Yakub he wud hv got reprieve!

THE ARTICLE Lethal lottery or just deserts? By Sanjay Hegde- The Hindu, August 5, 2015







Capital punishment, now, even more than before, appears to be a ‘lethal lottery’. Actual execution is dependent on variable factors like the personal inclinations of judges, administrators and the political environment of the moment







The late Goolam E. Vahanvati, Attorney General for India, was a great host. He once hosted a lunch for his lawyer friends at his official residence, where among the choicest food and drink, there was a full roast goat put out for consumption. I heard a lawyer pulling Goolam’s leg by remarking in Hindi, “Very unjust Goolam, very unjust; so many lawyers, and only one ‘bakra’ (goat).” I was reminded of this incident as I reviewed the swirl of debates surrounding the Yakub Memon case. It seemed to me that there were just too many legal doctrines involved and only one scapegoat.

An unequal filter







The first doctrinal question was the very validity of the death sentence itself if it could not be fairly administered. Capital punishment, now even more than before, appears to be a “lethal lottery”. Actual execution is dependent on variable factors like the personal inclinations of judges, administrators and the political environment of the moment. Actual executions seem to now take place only in the case of the politically friendless like Ajmal Kasab and Afzal Guru, while some like Devinder Bhullar, Balwant Singh Rajoana and the Rajiv Gandhi assassins are deemed politically unexecutable. While the legal process ostensibly decrees hanging in the rarest of rare cases, the quality of mercy is strained through an unequal filter.





The next doctrine is that of the soft state acting tough on terror. Strangely enough, for all the much vaunted, tough legal measures against the menace of terrorism, Yakub Memon is probably the only person actually executed under the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act of 1985. Passed in the immediate aftermath of Sikh terrorism which culminated in Indira Gandhi’s assassination, the Act dispensed with many of the inherent safeguards built into the ordinary criminal law. Confessions recorded by police officers were made admissible as evidence. It also did away with the traditional appeal to a High Court. Thus, Yakub effectively ended up with one trial and one appeal, both processes which were shared with more than a hundred co-accused.





The road to execution

When a large number of persons are tried together, courts are loath to throw out prosecution cases in toto. Often, the process ends up in separating those who appear to be less guilty from those who have a greater involvement. Despite all the acquittals and reductions of sentences, there generally remains the “baddest of the bad”, upon whom the full force of retribution descends. When it came to sentencing, the question asked was the extent of variable punishment based upon individual roles in a collective crime. In this case where the designated court had sentenced 11 people to death, the Supreme Court, in appeal, commuted all but one of them to life imprisonment. The Supreme Court spared the lives of the actual planters of explosives, treating them as mere underlings. However, two factors operated against Yakub. The court held: “these two factors — a commanding position and a crime of ‘utmost gravity’ ordinarily merit the extreme penalty even accounting for the guilty plea and mitigating factors. This is the special reason which warrants death penalty to the accused”. Where even the prosecution case was of a conspiracy hatched abroad by Dawood Ibrahim and given effect to by Yakub’s brother, Ibrahim (Tiger) Memon, it is hard to see Yakub as having played a commanding role when contrasted with the principal conspirators. However, when compared with the people actually apprehended and put on trial, Yakub was the biggest fish available to fry. Yakub probably would not have been sentenced to death had he had his brother’s company through the trial and appeal.

With the sentencing having been done by 2013, and the mercy petition having been rejected for the first time in 2014, the road to execution seemed clear. A couple of new Supreme Court judgments emerged which granted a fresh ray of hope. In a case dealing with delayed executions, the court ruled that condemned prisoners needed to be given at least 14 days from the rejection of their mercy petition to prepare themselves for death. In another ruling, the court which normally disposed of review petitions by circulation in chambers, decided that in capital cases, such matters required to be heard in open court. These and other judgments came into play last month, as the death warrant was communicated to Yakub, fixing the date of July 30 for his execution.





A new writ petition was filed by Yakub where he argued that the warrant could not be issued so long as his last legal remedy, of a curative petition, was still pending. For those who still don’t know, a curative petition is not provided for in the Constitution. It is an innovation of the Supreme Court to cure basic defects if any in its disposal of a matter after the hearing and review stages. No such defect was found and the curative petition was dismissed on July 21.







‘Bringing Yakub back’

At this stage, a new controversy emerged with a hitherto unpublished article of the late B. Raman being published by a web portal. Raman wrote about the circumstances under which he, as the head of the Research and Analysis Wing, ensured that Yakub was brought back to India to face the law. The article detailed Yakub’s cooperation with the Indian agencies which led to securing evidence against the Pakistani establishment regarding its involvement in the bomb attacks. Raman felt that the prosecution seeking the death penalty for Yakub was not warranted, but the article was not published in Raman’s lifetime for fear of interfering with the judicial process. Raman’s brother authorised journalist Sheela Bhatt to release the articles only when Yakub’s imminent execution necessitated full disclosure. This voice from beyond the grave was not evidence on which a court could have acted. It could at best have been taken into account while deciding a fresh mercy petition. Several people including former Supreme Court judge H.S. Bedi, one of the best judges of criminal cases to serve on the court, urged the court to take a re-look at the case.







A last-ditch attempt

Yakub’s writ petition was heard on July 28 by Justices A.R. Dave and Kurian Joseph who differed with each other. Justice Dave found no fault with the warrant and dismissed the petition. Justice Joseph refused to wash the court’s hands of the case. He even questioned whether the bench hearing the curative petition had been correctly constituted. A split verdict in a death penalty should ordinarily have resulted in a stay of execution till a larger bench could be constituted to hear the case. However, Justice Dave declined to be a party to an order of stay, and the matter was placed before the Chief Justice who constituted a new bench of Justices Dipak Misra, Prafulla C. Pant and Amitava Roy to hear the case the very next day.





The three-judge bench heard the matter afresh through the day and dismissed it around 4 p.m. just before the court rose for the day. Shortly thereafter, Yakub’s mercy petition was turned down a second time by the President. Around 9 p.m., a fresh writ petition was filed in the Supreme Court, seeking at least 14 days for Yakub to prepare himself for execution. The matter was assigned to the same three-judge bench. In an unprecedented move, just hours before the scheduled execution, the doors of the Supreme Court were opened after midnight. The bench again sat at 3 a.m. on July 30 to hear this last plea. “Judges sleep, justice does not,” remarked Mr. K. Parasaran, India’s former Attorney General. That night, India was glued to reality television as an unprecedented contingent of sleepless, breathless reporters relayed to the world the last gasp efforts of a host of lawyers who simply gave their best and utmost to save or extend a human life.

It was not to be. The new petition was dismissed by the Supreme Court around 4.50 a.m. Soon, Yakub went to the gallows on the date predetermined in April this year, when his death warrant was signed by a sessions judge. Justice according to the law was done and seen to be done. But did Justice triumph? Was Yakub served his just deserts or was he made a scapegoat of by the system? I leave it to the reader to judge.

It’s time to be more assertive: Doval- The Hindu, August 5, 2015

Yes, It’s time to be more assertive for us but not through Propaganda/Brainwashing like that which was CARRIED OUT by the NADZI - Propaganda Minister "JOSEPH GOEBBELS"!
It is Interesting to FOCUS on this part of his SPEECH-"Mr. Doval went on to add that it was other institutions such as“the media and the use of soft power in the influencing of minds”that were coming to the fore as instruments of statecraft.“The people who will hold power tomorrow,will be those who can make you think what they want you to think.” In simple words he is saying" STATECRAFT is 'BRAIN WASHING' of the PUBLIC in to BELIEVING what the STATE wants them to believe and TRUTH doesn't matter"!
This was PRECISELY what Joseph Goebbels who served as minister of propaganda for German Third Reich under Adolf Hitler had successfully done,by spreading the Nazi unfounded CLAIM of German Race's Superiority over all others&had also PROPAGATED Visceral Hate against JEWS resulting in the HOLOCAUST/Massacre of 6 million Jews!
Of late Mr.Doval is often seen to ECHO RSS ideology/beliefs (Or is it a MIX of RSS and "Zionist / AIPAC/ MOSAD" - advised THEORY of "FALSE FLAG OPERATIONS" and DISINFORMATION PROPAGANDA?)!
He was EVEN seen TRUMPETING the BLATANTLY BIZARRE RSS version of the HISTORY of our INDEPENDENCE MOVEMENT too with IMPUNITY, just because BJP rules at the CENTER?!

A
LONE SANE VOICE among CACOPHONY & DIN generated by the RIGHT WING FRINGE
GROUPS that normally CLAIM their ALLEGIANCE to the SANGH PARIVAR, with the
CACOPHONY and the DIN so generated being used by them to drown EVERY DISSENTING
VOICE through "MOBILIZATION of BHAKT MOBS" that attack every one and
HIT EVERY ONE BELOW the BELT ( Especially Ladies) both FIGURATIVELY ( Mainly on
the SOCIAL MEDIA- Face Book, twitter etc by AGGRESSIVELY 'Trolling" them) as
well as ( at Times) Physically
, to thwart any attempt at DISSENT against their FASCIST VIEWS and
ACTIONS!

This
is EVIDENTLY the ONLY RIGHT WAY to CATCH this BULL ( in a CHINA SHOP) by its
HORNS!




However,
this apparently is not a REAL CHANGE OF HEART on the part of the BHARASHTACHAR
JUMLA PARTY government and it is apparently only a TACTICAL RETREAT for the
SAKE of IMPENDING BIHAR ELECTIONS and for all you know this BHARASHTACHAR JUMLA
PARTY government that is a GOVERNMENT - "BY" Corporates -
"OF" Corporates and "FOR" Corporates, may attempt some BACKDOOR
DECEPTIVE CHANGES like ALLOWING STATE GOVERNMENTS to HAVE their own LAWS
instead of STICKING to the CENTRAL LAW so that the STATES in which this
BHARASHTACHAR JUMLA PARTY has governments will go ahead and HAVE their OWN
VERSIONS that may totally be LIKE the AMENDED BILL the center was trying to
Peddle!So the "FIGHT has to continue till a CONCLUSIVE FINISH that is
totally in FAVOUR of our FARMERS" using all Democratic Means both inside
and outside the PARLIAMENT!




ANY
way for now, BRAVO! AND KUDOS to the ENTIRE OPPOSITION in general and to RAHUL
GANDHI in particular for SPEARHEADING this MOVEMENT AGAINST the AMENDED
"LAND GRAB ORDINANCE(S) [ In all THREE ORDINANCES ISSUED SHAMELESSLY by
this BHARASHTACHAR JUMLA PARTY government) for defeating the VESTED CORPORATE
INTERESTS / LAND SHARKS who were GOING after the KILL to GRAB the ENTIRE
BALANCE LAND LEFT in INDIA!
