Mother, I salute thee! Rich with thy hurrying streams, bright with orchard gleams, Cool with thy winds of delight, Green fields waving Mother of might, Mother free. Glory of moonlight dreams, Over thy branches and lordly streams, Clad in thy blossoming trees, Mother, giver of ease Laughing low and sweet! Mother I kiss thy feet, Speaker sweet and low! Mother, to thee I bow.( jAI HIND)

Shoe hurling culture




Just go back to the past and remember the shoe hurling incidents which shook the whole world.

3) On march 21, 2009, An incident occurred on Friday when a case pertaining to a music school in Mumbai was in progress. There were seven people from the school who were presented in front of the judge and suddenly one of them hurled a slipper at the Judge.

4) On 8th april, 2009, A Sikh journalist, Jarnail Singh, on Tuesday flung a shoe at Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram in protest against the Congress party’s decision to field Jagdish Tytler and Sajjan Kumar — accused in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots case — for the Lok Sabha elections.

Why we are suspicious to nationalism and patriotism?
1857- the Indian freedom fighters are hanged


2009-(kasmir) burning indian Flag
1) One day like other days I’m chatting with my friends. Every time when I start conversation with a new friend I wish them vande mataram. One day a youth about 26-28 yrs, professionally links with financial sector, violently reacted when I commented him on not wished back vande mataram. He said simply reciting vande mataram cannot change the India’s present situation; I have love and affection to my country but can’t recite vande mataram. This is one of the many examples I have been experienced from last five days. The ratio of the reacting people is 10 among 4.
What is the psychological aspect of this present generation. have they forget the sacrifice of our freedom fighters or they simply not feel the essence of independence. If any body asks me the same question, I can surely go for the both. Present generation don’t feel and have no idea what is independence. Because, the present generation born after many decades of India’s independence. Their fore father’s did not sacrifice any thing for their mother nation. So they have no emotion and passion for the freedom, liberty and independence. They just identified themselves with India because they born and brought up here. There is another thing which passively influence their such attitude,
a) The politicians abused and modified the concept of nationalism and patriotism to satisfy their own desires in such an extent that nobody likes it. Those who really know the nationalism and patriotism they don’t want to hear it in the present condition, they became suspicious to their words.
b) There is another cause that no single school syllable of modern education carry the true picture of the freedom struggle and freedom fighters. They only give informations but not the true sense. Where these things has been taught, the enrollment is very low. The parents donot like to send their children there for study rather go for english medium schools.
So, It is the right time to redefine the concepts of nationalism and patriotism. At least it is the burden of every Indian to make the nationalism and patriotism flow continuously and clearly.

Let every Indian, know that these are our leaders.......

These pictures all shows the gross dis-respect and insult tothe Indian National flag by this so called 'spiritual leader' and selfproclaimed 'GOD' Mataji Nirmala Devi. This dis-respect to our country's flagshows that she has definitely no respect or love for the country that gaveher so much and her husband who was an IAS officer and chief of the SCI (he is seated next to her in the pics). Such a shame..I do urge and plead with all Indians who deeply love their country toforward the photos to as many people as possible so that it does catch theeye of someone higher up in the Indian Govt who can really take some actionagainst this cult.| Reactions: |

15th general Election: A foul play of Democracy
We say that Democracy is the opinion of majority. But how can we say this election is the opinion of majority. If …
1) The First phase voting of the 15th general election clearly implies that the voters are not interested in this democratic system. Even after the using of 300, 166 EVMs, large number of voter awareness programs, advertisements. Mammoth campaigning of more than 15 hundred candidates of 141 different political parties, out of 143.1 million voters only 53.85 percent voters casted their vote.
2) Even with more than 4 lakh security personals and 900,000 pooling staffs, more than 10 thousand pool observers could not stop muscle power and money power used to allure voters.
3) More than one thousand political parties and 1500 manifestos (election promises) but what is the result. 10 percent of the manifestos remained non working.
4) More than 800 corers has been spent in the 1st phase of the 15th general election (awaiting another 4) from our money.
Now you can visualized this not better than the political conditions Of Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Palestine, So, Why we are boasting that we have world’s biggest democracy. Why we should we need all these political parties and why we need such election.
Condemn it……………and be ready for another revolution for an alternate democracy.

Spark of Revolution*
(Chandrashekar Azad's dead body kept on public display by the British to serve as a warning message for other revolutionaries.)What?
We the human beings are one of the living elements on the earth but different from others. Apart from all related hypothesis, laws on human qualities one thing is so distincting, fascinating and even challenging which, differentiate ourselves from other animals i.e. the power to dream and striving for its fulfillment. Human ambition and dream to expand like the Air, to rise till the limits of Sky, to move faster like the Light. Inevitably all his ambitions are unstopped and it is one kind of energy, consciousness which, makes him restless till its fulfillment. Why man is ambitious? Why he wants more than his needs of life?. On the basis of the existing information about the man and his journey towards his fulfillment of ambition, our concluding answers may speak that “human wants are unlimited” because he needs a better life, superior, powerful than the others. This need is important when he struggled for his survival with other living creatures, who were superior in their physical strength than human beings. In the survival struggle it seems that man was survived because of his intellectual capability to turn his physical inferiorities into positive strengths. At this present stage he, finished his struggle with the animal contenders now, except his fellow man there is nothing on the earth with whom he can compete. Some times we can argue that some person are submissive to the situation with no further interest for physical or intellectual change if so, they are either got the higher stage than intellectual provocation or their emotional state is not so authenticated to provoke intellectual activity. - Why this power to desire more and more never exhaust? If we find where it will be exhausted, say “the end” we must find our selves at the stage of thousand years back from today, from where the homo-sapiens came to existence. In our life all the quarries, questions to different subjects and matters may seems different but out coming answers and further questions to it, moving in a cyclic order, it starts with a question and ends at the birth of another question and probably our ultimate quest ends where it starts. So, it seems that all our material quests are not leading towards a prolific stage even though several refinements. At this present stage of human development, man is not satisfied with his physical capability. He is trying to strengthen his physical body on acquiring the distinct physical qualities (strengths) of other animals through transplantation and experimenting to exclude his physical incapabilities through gene decodifying, simultaneously he want to make himself an indestructive physical form. Is it possible through his intellectual capability? In this context it is sure that he might succeed in his attempt to change the physical nature but not and even impossible to alter the natural law.
I, here not for the idea of another parallel to the spiritual existence like Br’ahman, Para’mat’ma or the supreme Soul. It is all about the man whose, do’s and don’ts are not influenced by the spiritual innerself but by the intellectual innerself. The intellectual capacity of the human beings are that which forces him to act for the fulfillment of his desires. It is about the intellectual man who strives to attain outer distinction, and finding the pleasure for his senses. This very desire for more and more, often made him licentiousness, and causes socio-intellectual imbalance. Consequently it leads to a vehement competition and eschews tranquility of mind. When the thoughts of the mind becomes ego centric and concentrated its thoughts on self projection, it gradually detaches from the social behaviors. A man In this situation might not be survived longer, his existence becomes precarious. So, in order to save himself from the future danger, he must need a change of situation where, he can face least problem and danger. Actually his desire to change is making corrections in his own creation. So, what will be the correcting measures is almost hypothetically and left for the test of the time. Every correction is not a perfect one and every change is not suitable. In this cyclic journey every element leaves his past position acquires a new, even with his new physical body and intelligent. Subject wants a change and strives accordingly but what will be the next change is not under the control of that subject. It is more like predetermined. The subject or the element is an agent who performs its predetermined activity and enters the new changed environment fixed by “The Divine law”. Because striving for change is Revolution and it is the one and only way to the prolific refinement. Describing this fact I’m justifying the divine origin” of revolution for divine purposes. Every element consciously or unconsciously has to play an active role in it. In a revolution who will lead, who will be the winner, who will be the loser and who will be remain inactive is determined just like a scene of a drama. He gets the freedom to act with in a defined limitation. The actor with his part and limitations should have to act. His lead, and future impressive position will be determined by his own activeness and struggle to establish his own capability.
Why?
Cry for a change is a revolution. If, we thought this is the time for a change, need of an alternation, a transformation, same time, we consciously prepared ourselves for a revolution, from where we can open a passage for a new situation and find a new alternative which could satisfy our desire for refinement. Than it is high time to understand our role and the part to act.
Before entering the Divine course of Revolution, we must ask a question ourselves- Are we different and a parallel creation of the Divine? Whatever may be The answer, We the human-beings are the strongest among all the living creations who, survived and evolved with new face after several revolutions of nature. We are making ourselves suitable to the varying environment. But, Who made us the fittest and suitable? Who made us strongest? Why we are still existing? In this sense the term immortal to human quality may sounds absurd but logically and scientifically we are some how immortal because we are here with the genes of our ancestors with more or less refinement. Think how are our ancestors the Peikingman, the Java, the Cro-Magnon, the Neanderthal, etc. We are walking straight with two legs, with a beautifully designed body and well built muscles suitable for the use of modern equipments unlike them. Our ancestors never made surgery to make their predecessors legs straight. They never codified and altered our genes ( when one gene may change ourselves to a chimpanzee) . We are evolved within homo-sapiens and even after several radical refinements in the future we might be in this group of bionomialnomenclature. Human beings gradually transformed from a barbaric forest loving ape-man to a civilized man. The difference between them is not a sudden metamorphosis but a gradual and continuous transformation along with the time. Even though our journey of transformation is determined by the nature yet our distinct psychological tendencies suitably maintained the reciprocal relationship with the changing environment. Need for a change, is a pure and independent state of feeling. It is a hereditary transmission and is not only a psychological but also biological mechanism to work. Which is necessary to maintain the longevity of the so-called human species. Wanting a change is an emotional state which produced before by provoking the intellectual state i.e. Revolution. Our analysis are not for the theory of evolution but a synthesis to establish “The Theory of Revolution”. Conclusively it is true that we are revolving through a predetermined cyclic path of nature yet we are here because of our ability to attain a change. After a century our society may be full of men with superhuman qualities and our environ will not be same as today. There we may come face to face with other new and powerful challenges. Even at that time if we want to survive we must struggle and revolt against all deadlocks which are suppressing our forward movement. Every intellectual being (say human beings) want a change, but only the individual who, is intellectually strong can materialize it. We are survived because we learned not to stop with what is existing but keeping our pace with the changing time. Revolution is an activity of time where newness originates and it must not be stopped for the sake of human progress.
When?
One of the terminologies of Revolution implies “ a complete, drastic, and far reaching change in ideas, social habits, ways of doing things”. Every day in our life we are after a change, we are wondering for better things. As we grow older we oftenly experience such situation. Our thoughts, ideas, EQ( Emotional Quotient) ,IQ (Intelligence Quotient ) are changing, experimentally it is proved that the aptness for a change is high and deep in younger generation even for this change they take some bold steps—Why these things happen? probably this aptness revitalize our strength and increases our fighting sprit, necessary for our survival struggle. Experiencing new things and situations might stimulates the particular part of our Brain which gives pleasure. The new things and circumstances might not gives expected satisfaction but it gives some kind of pleasure. Why we do feel boredom? It is a biological origin, generally our body and muscles unable to work longer time. After some work out we become weak and exhausted. Not only biologically but also psychologically proved that an energetic man can no longer fix to a single work, he want to do more things at a time, for him the anxiety to do new things is high. One became bored if he finds nothing to get relax. at this relaxing moment one needs complete liberty, freedom, independence ceasing all these things might bitter the situation. Boredom is a self destructive psychological situation, in this situation the chance of defeat is high. So, if you want increase the survival chance of human beings and development of its ability , it is necessary to give unbound but finite freedom to act and experience newer things and situations.

Why one should be proud to be Brahmin
Complexity of caste system in Indian civilization still persists, and for the last thousands of years we the Brahmins remained as intellectual giant among all the castes. As one of the higher castes of India our ancestors contributed much towards the development of this subcontinent, India, Jambhudiwpa, Aryavarta, Bharat Varsha. In every sphere of human activities in great Indian civilization, we uphold the task of renaissance through social transformation, cultural development, political upsurge, economical development, and educational reformation of our beloved mother land. Along with the time with the advance of globalization and privatization our social system has been changed and we remained as sufferer class. Our fore fathers fought against the so-called conservative attitude of higher castes and tried their level best to uplift the backward mass and give them their right. in this line the work of Dayananda Saraswati, Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Swami Vevekananda, Ramakrushna Paramahansa, Iswara Chandra Vidya Sagara, Sri Chaitanya, Santha Gyanaswara, Lalbahadur Sastri, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehuru, and even our ancient saints also promulgated “ universal Brotherhood” . we created Valmiki, Viswamitra, Kalidasa. we helped to bring the river ganga to this earth, we created the golden era of Gupta’s, Maurya’s. we are the Aryabhatta, Barahamihira, and Charaka. Our Sankaracharya, Ramanujacharya, saved the Indian civilization from perversion, and cultural degradation. Our Chanakya traveled extensively to strength our national unity against the Greek aggression. Even at our state level the great freedom worrier Jai Rajaguru, the framers of modern Utkala like, Naba Krushna Chaudhury, Nilakantha Dash, the Socialism Promulgator Godabarish Mahapatro, etc. at our local level we are also contributed much for the human intellectual advancement, the work of Shyama sunder Rajaguru, Satya Narayan Rajaguru, the Landless farmers friend and leader Appana Parrichha, the great literate Gopinatha Nanda Sharma, Appana Panigrahy, Appana Panda, Satyanaryana Panda, and many more.
Now the question arises why we are here, at this current position, why we are neglected in the name of social and educationally forward class? There are so many poor, illiterates in our Brahmin Caste, deprived of the basic amnesties of life like other backward castes, there are so many poor students who have even unable to pursue their education. There are others who are landless, home less.
Now this is the right time for an awakening and social evolution with in us, it is the auspicious time to rethink our own dilapidated culture, tradition.
We must reform our own idea, ideology, and attitude to save our glory, pride, honor. A Brahmin is for the public, by the public and of the public, his main duty is to reform, save and protect intellectually from the perversion of the human mind and intellect. So, raise and uphold the task of Brahmincal pride and Honour. In “Manu Smruti” the disciplinary work has been prescribed for Brahmins, which has the very essence of a socialistic attitude
Our scriptures never violated the very essence of humanity and human dignity yet made our class as a pure and true democratic intellectuals.
With hearth welcome we invite you to discuss on this topic and to form a common ground to strengthen our Brahmincal Culture for Humanity. We request your conscience, consciousness and self- dignity to come forward and be united for the sake national tradition. We are the intellect mass can create a Yuga of reformation in the present age of E-generation.

You can compare well between BJP era and Congress era before voting
Foreign Policy : India's military partnership with the USSR ended because of the latter's dissolution; however in 1998 India's President Vajpayee announced that India possessed the Nuclear Bomb (nemesis Pakistan successfully tested their bomb only weeks later). In 1999 Muslim Kashmiri insurgents, with the support of Pakistan invaded the part of Kashmir held by India; a two month border war followed, in which the Indian forces played out their logistical and technical superiority. The war, much displayed on Indian TV, also helped the BJP win the national elections. Relations with neighbour Pakistan remain tense, over Pakistan's continued support for Muslim Kashmiri insurgents. Relations with the US, on the other side, have improved over the last years; US President Bill Clinton paid a historical visit to India in March 2000. .Domestic Policy : The elections following the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi in 1991 were won by the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party); Atal Bihari Vajpayee became president. The party stresses Indian tradition, as opposed to Islam. Recently major Indian cities were renamed : Bombay to Mumbai, Calcutta to Kolkata. The state of Mysore was renamed Karnataka. In 2000, in an administrative reform, 3 new states were created - Uttaranchal, split off from Uttar Pradesh; Jharkhand, split off from Bihar, and Chhattisgarh, split off from Madhya Pradesh. In 2001. Phoolan Devi ("Bandit Queen") was assassinated. Relations between India's Ethnic and Religious Communities . In 1992, an enraged mob destroyed the historical Babri Mosque in Ayodhya (formerly spelled Oudh, which herself, several century ago, had been constructed at a site previously occupied by a Hindu temple). Radical Hindus then wanted a Hindu temple to be constructed at that site. This temple since has been built. The demolition of the Babri Mosque caused Hindu-Muslim riots, most notably the Bombay Riots of 1992-1993; the nationwide death toll was 1,150 (BBoY 1993). The Economy : In 1991 India produced 110 million metric tons of rice; the figure rose to 134 million in 1999. India's policy of economic liberalization (the cancellation of restrictions against the conversion of Rupees; the permission of the import of gold) showed considerable success. Until 1994, the total value of India's imports exceeded that of the country's exports; since 1992 the export figures sharply increased and by 1996 exports of 1.1 trillion rupees outnumbered imports of 0.84 trillion rupees (at an aggregate current value of 2003; IHS p.545). In 1993 India ended her ban on Coca Cola. A showcase of India's modernizing economy is the computer software business centered on Bangalore (Karnataka). A success story is India's film industry centered on Bombay ("Bollywood"). Lately, outsourcing provides for a considerable number of new jobs in India's economy; India's large number of well-educated, close-native speakers of English, working for a much lower pay than U.S. or European high school or college graduates, attract service sector jobs. India joined the WTO in 1995. Social History . In September 1999, it was announced that the billionth Indian was born - India's population continues to expand at a dramatical rate. India's population in 1991 was established by census as 843 million; the census of 2001 counted 1.021 billion.
India 1984-1991 : The Rajeev era
Foreign Policy : The Republic of India continued close cooperation with the USSR. Negotiations with the PR China aiming at improving mutual relations made some progress. India suspected Pakistan of actively working on developing the nuclear bomb, and on providing refuge and training to the Sikh terrorists. In 1987 India sent troops to Sri Lanka as peacekeepers; the rebel Tamils were declared violators, and the Indian forces turned against them. While the ensuing offensive succeeded in temporarily gaining a lot of ground, the objective of suppressing the rebellion was not achieved, and the Indian forces returned in 1990. In 1988 India sent troops to the Maldives to help suppress a coup attempt by Sri Lankan Tamil mercenaries. Domestic Policy : In 1984, upon the assassination of Indira Gandhi, her son Rajiv Gandhi succeeded. In 1985 the New Congress won general elections. An assassination attempt on Rajiv Gandhi failed in 1986. In 1987, a corruption scandal (Bofors Scandal) rocked the government. Arunachal Pradesh, Goa and Mizoram in 1987 were elevated to the status of state. In 1989, the Congress Party suffered an electoral defeat; Rajiv Gandhi was succeeded by a coalition government headed by Vishwanath Pratap Singh. The coalition disintegrated in 1991 and Rajiv Gandhi campaigned as the Congress Party candidate for president, when he was assassinated by a Tamil Tiger. Relations between India's Ethnicities and Religious Communities : Following Operation Bluestar in 1984, Sikh separatists continued to be active, most notably in the Punjab, culminating in the assassination of Indira Gandhi; an agreement between the Indian government and Akali Dal, the appointment of a new governor for the Punjab and the suggestion of territorial adjustments was intended to deescalate the tension in 1985; the implementation of the agreement proved difficult (1986); terrorist acts of Sikh militants continued (assassination attempt on Rajiv Gandhi 1986). In 1984, Hindu-Muslim riots broke out in Bhiwandi, Bombay and Hyderabad, in Gujarat in 1986, in Uttar Pradesh in 1987. In 1986 Gurkhas in Darjeeling, West Bengal, began a campaign for a separate homeland; the conflict was settled by an agreement with the state government in 1988; a Gurkha Hill Council was established within West Bengal. The Mizo insurgency in Mizoram was ended, the leader of the insurgency taking over as PM of Mizoram. In 1989, campaigns for a separate Bodoland (in Assam) and for a separate Jharkhand (in Bihar) began. Following the formation of the Janata Dal government in 1989, the Hindu extremist BJP campaigned (1990) for the construction of a Hindu temple on the spot where the Babri Mosque in Ayodhya (Uttar Pradesh) was standing (the mosque was demolished by rioting Hindus in 1992); the campaign, in 1990, alienated India's Muslim population, causing riots in many parts of India, and even in Bangladesh. Economic Policy : Rice production increased from 87.5 million metric tons in 1984 to 110.5 million metric tons in 1991 (IHS p.198). The Sixth Five Year Plan ended in 1985, followed by the Seventh (1985-1990) and the Eighth (1990-1995). Rajiv Gandhi pursued the economic opening of India, the technological modernization of which he strove for. Bangalore (Karnataka) developed into a computer software development center. On December 3rd 1984, at a Union Carbide factory in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India, where pesticides were produced, toxic gases leaked; the number of immediate fatalities in the city was estimated at 7,000; the death toll is estimated between 10,000 and 22,000. Social History . In 1984 the population of India was estimated at 734.8 million, the census of 1991 counted 843.9 million. In 1987 India was hit by the worst drought in a century; Gujarat and Rajasthan were affected the most.

Can imposition of emergency cure Kandhamal?
why kandhamal violence takes place? What is the casue of it? Why a particular community targeted? Why maoists claim that they killed Swami laxmanananda Saraswati? On what basis Hindu organisations accused Christians for the above cause? Why government failed to suppress the ' Kandhamal violence'? Is it right to invoke article 356 in the state?- there are many questions to be answered, at least by the journalists.
The situation in Kandhamal must be understood through thorough analysis of the social and economic condition of the inhabitating people. We can draw a sharp line between the people who resided there into primitive inhabitants and those who migrated in to the area. The local inhabitants like, kondhos, sauras and kuis, etc have no voice because they are financial backward. This is the situation the Christian missionaries exploited and propagated their religion. The so called baptism created a creamy layer among the backwards. In course of time these people not only exploited their fellow brothers but also targeted the other Hindu community who resided there largely business community. They even socially tortured their fellow brothers, who are not after their allured promises and not yet baptized. There is another community; their percentage may be limited yet very much influenced on the Christian community. Even in elections their role is highly escalating. They are above the local pastors, and religious leaders. They are Nuns and Fathers from Kerala, West Bengal, and outside of the state. They have little knowledge of local environment, they are from different languages and social and cultural backgrounds. Here we cannot deny the fact that the migratory businessmen who are minor yet became one of the dominant classes of Kandhamal, many times exploited the ignorant local tribes financially. The Other section of the business community who exploited tribals for hundred years, are “Panas”. Along with the advent of the other business class they pushed backward. But most of the economic, fertile lands are on their occupation. They are not legally entitled to this but by their shrewdness took over it from tribals. When the panas felt that they are weak to compete with the new business class, they inclined towards other business. They found a way in Propagation of Christianity and worked more or less like brokers (mediators) between government officials and tribals. This community is very intelligent and witful. They know the nerves of the local tribal community. They know how to mesmerize them. They earned good amount of money out of it. Apart from this, for many decades the Kandhamal remained cut off from the out side world. No roads, no communication, no electricity, no health facilities, no education. Even the people are deprived the basic amnesties of life. The government machinery completely failed to execute. Even in such chaos and confusions this situation gives little scope for the Extremist leftist organization like Naxals. The outfit many times pondered for a base but failed. They appealed the exploitation of the businessmen community, but these are little heared by the tribals. There is one rule ‘Christianity’ in kandhamal until the emergence of Swami Laxmanananda. This was the year 1980s. Since than the oppressed Hindu Business class and the Tribals (who are not yet baptized) get a ground to ventilate their psycho-cultural grievances. Since than there are several instances where both the religious communities came face to face. The finding shows that since 1980s the missionary activities, religious conversions and floating of out of state Fathers, nuns grew, like the Hindu counterpart.
Here the question arises why Swami Laxmananada was more emotionally attached to the tribals than the Christian missionaries. For the answer I’m here neither prasing the Swami nor his activities, but want to show what was the psychological authentication took place after the Sawmi’s activities.Usually the panas. Even the tribals who became Christianized, they have less contact with the upper layer pastors and fathers. Unlike Laxmanananda, who lived with tribals as one of their family. Because of his voice and works tribals get some force and became self consciousness. They sat and contacted with the upper class business class in many occasions. (one of the part I elaborating here; with the Swami, tribals went outside, they read and see their names and activities through media reports, their represented and children respected in high class Hindu community) The growing influence of the Swami alarmed the very presence of the missionaries. The killing of 85 years old Swami implies the whole thing clearly and straightly. Maoist cadres may be involved but not the total outfit. They may be hired for the same purpose. Here the question arises, why Maoists or naxals not acted 5 or 10 years back? If they are active in kandhamal, why not they identified the culprits?
Who killed whom and for what, is not of our point of discussion. But why the whole tribal community raised their arms? With out any motivational force and authentication of their grievances a struggle cannot and never go long. What is that?
All these answers throwing light, how foolishly central and state government fighting over the imposition of article 356. The Army, polish and coercion measures may give a momentary relief but not the cure. And I’m sure even after the imposition of 356 the same thing must happen in kandhamal and other parts of tribal odisha.
