Peshawar School Attack in Pakistan - Where we are moving????

The attack on innocent school children at Peshawar in Pakistan was a very shameful act by the Taliban. Its inhuman, very horrific and unimaginable act. How can they do this in the name of religion.

When I heard about the attack I was shocked. Even during war school and hospitals are not attacked. Looking at the images that came after the attack, my heart was bleeding.

My idea of right and wrong changed forever

Source: http://www.riseforindia.com

It was the summer of 2009; college life was still in the honeymoon period.  On a bright Monday morning, I sat all joyous and excited in the classroom, waiting for life’s first interview assignment. However, within an hour, it changed to a strange feeling; a blend of fear, uncertainty and reluctance. The task was to visit a sex worker from Sonagacchi (Asia’s largest brothel) and know her story. ‘Red light area’-I murmured to myself. What was it like? What about the women who live there? Why are they there? How do they look? How do they talk? Would I be safe?

In another hour, I was sitting face to face with a woman in her 40s. Swapna Das, she called herself. She looked liked those same familiar faces I see every day;  only, a little more tired, with  her dirk circles and wrinkles  a bit more prominent. I didn’t know from where to start, which she understood and laughed. “Let me tell you my story”-she said, and looked straight into my eyes. I looked at her too, and for once, I felt, I’ve never seen so much of truth in anyone’s eyes before.

“I was 15, when my father got me married. He was an irregular earner, and even when he did, he spent most of it in his drinks.   I remember girls from my neighborhood going to school; how badly I wanted to be one of them! Marriage is supposed to be showered upon a woman like blessings, but to me it came like a shock. But on the other hand, I thought, maybe this would save me from this life where I run short of everything. A nice family, loving parents, even enough food! Little did I know, I was getting married to another drunkard drug-addict beast, who would remember to practice the rights of a husband only when he needs sex.

We had no money, & I needed to earn. Therefore, I started serving as a maid in a family which lived in the same locality. The family consisted of the owner of the house, his son & daughter-in-law.
I was used to poverty, maltreatments from family members. BUT! Being sexually abused was something new which started taking place. Both the men in family would find excuses to touch me, and it soon turned to forceful molestations.

I was in need of money and couldn’t quit working. But I was scared too, the place wasn’t safe for me anymore. But then, where would I return? I had no reason to think that home was a batter place to stay. Scared and helpless, one day I decided to run away. One night when everyone fell asleep, I packed the little belongings and silently came out. I didn’t know where to go. But one thing I was sure of. I didn’t want to be caught. I started running.

Now I feel, I shouldn’t have run that way. May be a calm walk would’ve led me to some better place. That night, I reached the bank of Ganges in sometime. I could faintly recognize a slum. It was the Kumartuli Brothel, I didn’t know then. I waited there, till morning arrived. AND! Never could I escape from that place. Early morning, a man spotted me at the ferry, half asleep-half awake. I was innocent, and may be stupid enough, to tell him everything. I needed help. He was keen to ‘help me’, and even keener to help himself with some money. He took me to another woman. She lived in a strange house, with countless number of rooms, as small as cages.

Shibapratim Bagchi thought I was going to be hired as a maid again, and I wasn’t quite sad about it. However, only in a couple of hours, it was clear to me as soon as I was ordered to ‘dress well’ and stand at the door. I started crying, screaming, and begging to let me go. But this time, I failed. They locked me inside a room.
I know, we prostitutes are hated, disrespected, and often made fun of. When you criticize a woman for her rotten character, you compare her with us. How many of you know, that many of us treat our ill and aged parents with the money we earn? We send money, & the money is accepted. But, we aren’t allowed to show up in front family members. How many of you know, that many of us regularly donate money to various organizations who look after slum children? & many of you know don’t even know why we’re here. It is never our choice.

We’re often asked if given a chance, we would go back to the mainstream of society. The answer is a big NO. Your society has failed to give us education, family, livelihood. All it does is to act as a moral police at times. I sell my body, and I got enough guts to admit that. I don’t steal. I am not dishonest. I don’t beg for money either. I sell what belongs to me, is solely mine. I’ve two sons. One is 16 years old, another is 10. They don’ t know who their fathers are, but they definitely know who their mother is. I want to ensure proper education for them.  When they grow up, they’ll understand that bringing them up wasn’t an easy task for me.

It’s funny how the same so called ‘gentlemen’ who visit brothels frequently, turn to honest and responsible family-men during daytime. It’s amazing how parents advice their children not to mix up or play with our children in schools, at play-grounds. It’s worth noticing how people look at us in public transports. Yes, it gives us a good feeling; for the fact, that we’re better as human beings, than a lot many. For the fact, that we won’t let our children grow up as mean minded personalities who can’t help but can only hurt. We’re glad we are not hypocrites.
When you write about us, Please write, that we don’t require sympathy from those who know nothing about our struggle.  That would only make them great, and us, heinous creatures.”

P.S:  From that day, my idea of right and wrong changed forever. Each word she spoke felt as if I was being slapped hard. Or may be, we all were; being slapped on our notions, on how we see, judge, conclude things.  This, perhaps, was one of those thousand stories we’re unaware of. & neither do we try knowing. Our conventions have taught us to condemn them from surroundings, knowledge and even from our thoughts.

Just one little sensitive heart and a hand full of love could bring a change to your perspective next time.

Political Parties fail to implement RTI Act

Political Parties fail to implement RTI Act

CIC issues show-cause notices to six political parties for non-compliance hearing on Nov 21^st

The Central Information Commission (CIC) has fixed November 21, 2014 for a hearing on non-compliance by six political parties of its full-bench verdict dated June 3 last year declaring six national political parties as public authorities under the Right to Information (RTI) Act.

The CIC, a statutory body, had held on June 3^rd 2013 that the INC, BJP, CPI (M), CPI, NCP and BSP have been substantially financed by the Central Government under section 2(h) (ii) of the RTI Act. The criticality of the role being played by these Political Parties in our democratic set up and the nature of duties performed by them also point towards their public character, bringing them in the ambit of section 2(h). The constitutional and legal provisions discussed in the CIC decision also point towards their character as public authorities.

Accordingly, these political parties were directed to designate Chief Public Information Officers (CPIOs) and the Appellate Authorities at their headquarters in six weeks’ time. The CPIOs so appointed were required to respond to the RTI applications extracted in the CIC’s order in four weeks’ time.

However, it’s been more than 17 months since the CIC’s order and till now none of the six political parties has complied with the CIC’s order, nor has any of them taken any other recourse such as approaching the courts against the decision of the Commission, nor adopted any of the procedures for processing the RTI application as given in the transparency law.

This is a clear case of open defiance of a statutory authority by the six political parties and is not conducive to the functioning of a democratic society. This non-compliance has a very serious detrimental effect on the state of democracy in the country at large and has created a sense of cynicism and pessimism in the population at large, creating the impression in the minds of the people at large that the rule of law exists only for the common persons, and all institutions and people who enjoy some authority, formal or informal, and political parties in particular, are above the law.

This is an extremely serious consequence for our society and its detrimental impact can be catastrophic.

The hearing at the CIC is scheduled for 4:00 PM.

Black Money 123 Name of Account Holders

BJP govt shifting goal post to save face on black money foreign bank
account holders

In its latest turnaround, the BJP-led central government has now indicated that might disclose a limited number of names, cherry picked from the list of foreign bank account holders possessed by the government through formal/informal sources . This is clearly an exercise to save its face.

The central government’s move raises the following key questions:


1.Why only these 136 names ?

People of the country believe that the previous Congress-led UPA government had things to hide and blocked the disclosure of names. Now, with BJP government’s similar reluctance in sharing the names gives rise to a reasonable apprehension about its real intentions. By cherry-picking a set of names and concealing others, it has further confirmed the belief that the BJP is hell-bent on saving some of the influential people appearing in those lists. The truth is - there is no law in India or treaty with any country that stops the Indian government from taking action against the possessors of illicit money.

2. BJP playing politics on the issue ?

Two recent developments have confirmed that the BJP wants to play politics over theissue of black money, rather than solving it. First, is the central government’s turnaround on the non-disclosure of some names and second is the cherry-picking of names to scorepolitical points. The Aam Aadmi Party is of the clear view that anyone who possesses illicit money, irrespective of his/her affiliation with any political party, must be brought to book. Politics should not be played, rather the promise made by Mr Rajnath Singh of bringing back every penny of black money sitting abroad within 150 days of coming to power, and that of Mr Modi of attributing such money to every citizen to the tune of Rs.15-20 Lakh per person, should be worked towards.

3. Double Tax Avoidance Treaty is not the issue-A matter already settled by the Supreme Court 

The Supreme Court in its judgement on 4th July 2011 after perusing the double Tax Avoidance
Agreement between India and Germany emphatically conveyed that there provision or hindrance
in the agreement that limits the disclosure of information. The SC also pointed, such a plea is
untenable as no agreement can limit infringe upon the principles laid down in our constitution.
Extract of para 58 of the judgement: “
The above clause in the relevant agreement with Germany would indicate that, contrary to the assertions of Union of India, there is no absolute bar of secrecy. Comity of nations cannot be predicated upon clauses of secrecy that could hinder constitutional proceedings such as these, or criminal proceedings”.

4. Intentional disregard of United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC)

India, Germany and Switzerland – all are signatories to the UNCAC which emphatically
empowers the two countries on following counts:

• UN Convention Against Corruption gives full sanction to make simple changes in the laws of our country to tackle black money menace permanently
• UN Convention Against Corruption overrides ‘bank secrecy laws’
• UN Convention Against Corruption empowers to freeze, seize and confiscate illicit money
• UN Convention Against Corruption on Mutual Assistance by different tax jurisdictions
• It is indeed surprising to see that the BJP government is disregarding the UNCAC, rather than using it to its benefit and prosecute those who possess illicit money.

Mahatma Gandhi as a lawyer

People know Mahatma Gandhi as a political leader, but few people know about his law practice in South Africa for 20 years.
I may mention about one of his earliest cases in Pretoria,when he had just started law practice, as a young man in his early 20s. 

The case was a civil dispute between two businessmen of Indian origin settled in South Africa and doing business there, Dada Abdullah and Tyeb Seth. Gandhiji was the lawyer for Dada Abdullah.
I may now continue this narrative in Gandhiji's own words, in his book ' The Story of my Experiments with Truth ' :

" I saw that the facts of Dada Abdullah's case made it very strong indeed. But I also saw that the litigation, if persisted, would financially ruin both sides, who were relatives, and belonged to the same city. No one knew how long the case might go on.

I approached Tyeb Seth, and advised him to go for arbitration. I recommended him to see his counsel, and suggested that if an arbitrator enjoying the confidence of both parties were appointed, the case would quickly finish. The lawyers' fees were so rapidly mounting that they would devour the financial resources of both litigants, even though they were big merchants. Moreover, the case occupied so much of their time that they had no time left for any other work. In the meantime, mutual ill will was steadily increasing

I became disgusted with the legal profession. I felt that my duty was to befriend both parties, and bring them together. I strained every nerve to bring about a compromise. At last Tyeb Seth agreed. An arbitrator was appointed, the case was argued before him, and Dada Abdullah won.

But that did not satisfy me. If my client were to seek immediate execution of the award, it would be impossible for Tyeb Seth to pay the whole of the awarded amount, and there was an unwritten law among the Porbander Memons living in South Africa that death should be preferred to bankruptcy.
It was impossible for Tyeb Seth to immediately pay the whole sum awarded, but he meant to pay not a pie less, and he did not want to be declared bankrupt. 

There was only one way. Dada Abdullah ( Gandhiji's client ) should allow him to pay in moderate instalments. He was equal to the occasion, and granted Tyeb Seth instalments spread over a very long period. It was more difficult for me to secure this concession ( from Dada Abdullah ) than to get the parties to agree to arbitration. But both were happy over the result, and both rose in the public esteem.
My joy was boundless. I had learnt the true practice of law. I realized that the true function of a lawyer was to unite parties riven asunder.

The lesson was so indelibly burnt into me that a large part of my time during the twenty years of my practice as a lawyer was occupied in bringing about private compromises in hundreds of cases. I lost nothing thereby, not even money, certainly not my soul.

Shibapratim Bagchi - A Mechanical Engineer, Now a Auto Driver

It was a Saturday afternoon when me, my cousin brother and sister-in-law took an auto from city market to rotighar,gandhibazar. While we were going in the auto, me and my cousin were discussing about an institute that offers engineering degree in two years. I asked my cousin the institute name but he was not really sure about the abbreviation.

He said its called some AIME or something. But the auto driver told the institute was called AMIE. Later he gave us the complete information about the institute, courses offered, number of subjects that were offered in one year etc. I was shocked by the way he told us about the institute. Later he asked about my academics. I told him that I completed my engineering from BMS College of Engineering.

Then he asked me my specialization in particular. I told it was Industrial engineering and Management. Since many people will not be aware about my branch name, it is a routine for me to tell that my branch is related to Mechanical Engineering just that our course includes some MBA subjects as well. I wanted to tell the same to the auto driver.
Before I could complete, he asked me, "Oh IEM ah?". I was stunned. Who would expect an auto-driver to know all this. My mouth could not stop asking questions. I asked him " How do you know all these things?"

He told me that even he was a Mechanical Engineer who did his Diploma in Mechanical engineering, later finished his B.E. in Mechanical Engineering from JSS college of Engineering( one of the very good engineering colleges in Karnataka)two years back. Shibapratim Bagchi
Thats it. I don't even have words to describe my reaction when he told me this. I was completely shocked!! I asked how come he is doing this job instead of finding other jobs "meant" for engineers.
He told me, " Madam, there are so many people like me in this field. Destiny has made us to settle for this. And we are doing it. Even now, my professor keeps calling and tells me to do MTech. I feel that engineering what I have done is only useless. Why waste another 2 lakhs?"
I told him, "You can pursue Mtech. Then take up a lecturer job".

Shibapratim Bagchi told me, " Who pays for my Mtech? And even if I do Mtech I would get 25,000 as my initial salary. I'm getting the same now and I am ok with it. It is a waste if I am doing Mtech".
I could not answer his question. Yes I could make out that he had family commitments that is why he ended up taking up an auto-driver job. Also, I could see the frustration on his face for not getting a job with the qualification he had. I don't think he would have settled for this job without even trying for mechanical engineering jobs. Probably 10-15 years back nobody would have imagined an engineer becoming an auto-driver. Its not the destiny, but the existing job-market has made many engineers to settle for under-employment.

I guess he is a true ‪#‎logicalindian‬ who has accepted the fact and moved on in his life.
Story ended by me giving him a free advice to start doing something related to his academics.He nodded with a smile, probably which meant it could never happen!
Making a graduate "employable" is more important than just making a graduate. I hope, at least we may not have to see PGs like this in future.
