TODAY'S Editorial Essay
■ Mr. K. Chandrasekhara Rao, does he have any Advisers to counsel on legality of what he does? ♞:
✔Ordinary People of Telangana nursed grievances against People of Residual Andhra Pradesh, which are unfounded. It is like losing money at one place, and searching for it at another place, saying that lights are available at that place for searching.♝
✔When United Andhra Pradesh was formed in 1956, as the Capital for the entire State was at Hyderabad, development got intensified in Hyderabad City, with funds from Central Government, and the State Government of United Andhra Pradesh.♝
✔Hyderabad became a hot spot for speculation in Industrial Lands and Housing, with Business Houses and Industrialists greedily lobbying and scrambling for lands in and around Hyderabad. The scrambling became global, after the advent of I.T. Industry in Bengaluru and Hyderabad. Whoever could not get lands in Mumbai and Pune found solace in getting something at Hyderabad. ♝
✔Innocent Hyderabad and Telangana village owners around Hyderabad sold their lands at high rates prevailing when they sold. They became a sort of nouveau riche. While some of them spent their new riches, some others could not invest their moneys into profitable ventures.♝
✔Land prices sky-rocketed in the years that followed, and those who sold their lands in a hurry, found that they lost their fortunes. Some of the buyers were rich landlords from Miniing Districts of Rayala Seema, and Agro-and-agro-industrial rich Districts of Godavari, East Krishna. This alienation of lands led to a feeling in the minds of Telangana People that Residual Andhra Pradesh People were robbing them. ♝
✔This type of robbing takes place in every part of the World, and every State of India. This can happen even in Kashmir, where restrictions on purchase of lands have been lifted, after scrapping of Art.370.♝
✔In a similar manner, some State Government jobs in Hyderabad City might have been lost. It might have led to jealousies among Telangana Unemployed Youth that for all their miseries people of Residual Andhra Pradesh were responsible. It is only a partial truth. In fact, Telangana, particularly Hyderabad District, and Villages and Towns around it have immensely benefited from the development, and People of the Area had better opportunities when compared to people from remote Districts like Srikakulam, Vizianagram, Anantapur, Cuddapah and Chittoor.♝
✔In this envy filled environment, politicians from Telangana such as Shri K. Chandrasekhara Rao, Kodanda Ram inflamed and instigated Regional Hatred, calling people form Residual Andhra Pradesh "thieves". Actually, the People of Residual Andhra Pradesh lost heavily in United Andhra Pradesh, and yet they bore the losses, because a Human is an Animal of Optimism.♝
✔Now, the People of Telangana are paying for their grave error of falling prey to the promises of their Leaders, especially Mr. K. Chandrasekhara Rao.♝
✔The best and the latest example is Chief Minister KCR's act of dismissing all the 48,000 Workers of TSRTC (Telangana State Road Transport Corporation) with the exception of just 1200. These 1200 people do not know. Their fate will also be same as the remaining 46,800 Workers, in future.♝
✔It is heartening to read in Newspapers that, the workers of the (Residual) APSRTC (Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation) have expressed their solidarity with the workers of the TSRTC, and are taking up Demonstrations before RTC Bus Stations in Residual Andhra Pradesh.♝
✔I am not sure whether the Striking Workers of TSRTC have made elaborate preparations for a prolonged strike. The prerequisite for successes of prolonged strikes is keeping large stocks of rice, wheat and groceries. If RTC or the Government of Telangana fails to pay wages to the Striking Workers, the Unions should be able to pay at least subsistence wages.♝
✔It is regretable that the Unions of other Government Employees in Telangana State have not extended any meaningful support to the Striking RTC Workers. Other Government Employee Unions in Telangana must realise that they will also have to face consequences, similar to those of the RTC Workers, in future.♝
✔After all, Shri K. Chandrasekhara Rao, Shri Nara Chandrababu Naidu, Shri Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy, they are all politicians of the same bourgeoisie genre.♝
✔The Striking RTC Employees of Telangana should not fall prey to other Opposition Parties in the State, like Congress, BJP. Political Parties have their own political agendas. Even if Congress or BJP were in Power in Telangana, they too would have dealt similar blows (though not same) on the Striking RTC Employees.♝
✔Today, Privatisation is an OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) among the Ruling Politicians of India. Workers in India, like the Workers of the Rest of the World, have a long way to go towards their goal of Proletarian Rule, may be several decades. (9ae)♝

BANGLA DESH unlikely TO ACCEPT BACK ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FROM THEIR COUNTRY. NRC IN ASSAM WILL BE A WILD GOOSE CHASE
:♛HASINA TAKES UP NRC WITH MODI, news Headlines indicate.♝
♛Common Sense also indicates that no country, howsoever friendly its relations with its neighbor may be, will accept "return" of illegal immigrants even if the illegal immigrants belong to their own religion.♝
♛Bangla Desh would have not accepted even ROHINGYAS from India, had India tried to send the Burmese (Former Bangla Deshi) Rohingyas to Bangla Desh, even if Rohingyas are Muslims.♝
♛This unwillingness of countries to take back illegal immigrants highlights one important basic principle: COUNTRIES CANNOT BE FORMED AND/OR RUN ON THE BASIS OF RELIGION.♝
♛Mr. DONAL TRUMP, howsoever, noble or cruel he may be, apparently knows this. Hence Mr. Trump wants to divert every fund for construction of a wall on Amercian Boundary with Mexico. ♝
♛As a Marxist, I can only say that "Workers of all countries Unite. For workers, there can be no boundaries.♝

SUPERSTITIONS IN TAKING DELIVERY AND ACTIVATING OF PURCHASED AIRCRAFT
:✔Continuing Superstitions in 21st Century is a Universal Problem. It is not just limited to India. Whenever superstitious incidents take place, we can only derive some happiness, from audio-visuals they distribute to us.♝
✔It appears that Websites, TVs and Newspapers from Islamic countries such as Khaleej Times have tried to highlight the News of India's Defence Minister performing a traditional worship while taking delivery of the first Rafale Aircraft, as if he has committed some sacrilege. (Note: I am not a BJP supporter).
✔While many Indians have shifted to a relatively non-violence procedures by offering fruits and vegetables to Gods/goddesses instead of goats, sheep and cattle, Islamic and Christian countries still continue their barbaric ways.♝
✔Indian shift to milder propitiations of God(desse)s may be as a result of shift to Buddhism from North European, South European and Persian Aryanism.♝
✔Anyway, that is an improvement from a larger savage of beheading wailing sheep and goats. So, what is the use of pinpointing the errors of neighbor countries by the Islamic Media, when the Islamic countries themselves have relatively more savageous superstitions?♝
✔Buddhism, a better religion is more ancient when compared to both Christianity and Islam. I am not a Buddhist. Nor am I, its propagandist. Buddhism had/has its own flaws. ♝
✔Yet, if at all religions and customs are absolutely unavoidable, probably Buddhism seems to be a better choice. For this reason only, probably late B.R. Ambedkar might have shifted to Buddhism.♝ ✔Nevertheless, I sincerely wish that Islamic Media do some introspection. (9aa)♝

MUSINGS OF A DONKEY--
:✔Terrorists can become Rulers. And Rulers can become Terrorists.♝
✔Terrorists Rulers, sometimes, tend to co-ordinate with one another. And sometimes, they war with one another.♝
✔Terrorist Rulers, very rarely lay down their lives. Their subjects have to lay down their lives.♝
✔Terrorist Rulers can, sometimes, show aesthetic appreciations. The same Rulers can, sometimes, ruthlessly oppress aesthetics. Their vicissitudes are difficult to gauge.♝
✔What is Terrorism and what is not Terrorism, depend on subjectivities and proclivities of those who have the authority to identify.♝

COAL SUPPLIES FROM SINGARENI COLLIERIES- Jagan's request
:♛There is a proverb in Telugu: ekkaDainA bAvE gAni, vanga tOTalO bAva kADu. Approx. English: A person may be a brother-in-law anywhere, but not in a brinjal garden. Relevant anecdote: A person went to his wife's brother's brinjal garden, oneday. There, he liked the brinjals on the plant, and plucked some, to have curry made by his wife i.e. the sister of the garden's owner. While leaving, the garden owner asked his sister's husband to pay the price of brinjals. The sister's husband thought that his brother-in-law would gift him brinjals. But, the brother-in-law said "ekkaDainA bAvE gAni, vanga tOTalO bAva kADu."♝
♛Everybody knows the amitie proche (=close friendship) between the A.P. Chief Minister Mr. Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy and Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao. ♝
♛Mr. Chandrasekhara Rao wanted thouands of tmcs. of lifting of Andhra Area Polavaram Godavari waters through Telangana to Sri Sailam Project. Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy, believed to be a Feudatory of Mr. KCR readily agreed for it, without consulting the Opposition Parties in Residual Andhra Pradesh. ♝
♛Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy is expected to be a Lieutenant to Mr. KCR in his fight with the Ruling BJP at Centre.♝
♛In harassing Mr. Nara Chandrababu Naidu , the former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh to extreme levels, Mr. Jagan seems to be getting directions from Mr. KCR. Every dog will have its own day. Now, these are the bad days for Mr. Naidu. Ships can become carts, and carts can become ships. (9930)♝

PAKISTHAN PRESIDENT has to explain
:♛Pakisthan President has to explain why the population of Non-Muslims in Pakisthan fell from 23% in 1947 to 1.5% in 2019? Assuming that Freedom Struggle and Independence of East Pakistan which has a slightly higher rate of non-Muslims, into Bangla Desh in 1971, has caused the fall in New Pakistan, it can't go down to as low as 1.5%. The drastic fall shows that Non-Muslims in Pakistan were forced to convert to Islam or leave the country, through disincentives, discriminatory treatment, and harassment. The Hindu population in Bangla Desh too dwindled owing to persecution and harassment.♝
♛While some Indian rulers seem to yearn divide India into Hindu and non-Hindus, Mr. Imran Khan itches to divide the World into Muslims and Non Muslims.♝
♛EURACANZ (Europe+ America, Canada, Australia+ Newzealand) seems to make the entire Earth a Christian Planet. Attempts of the EURACANZ Missionaries in the name of Service, to convert non-Christians into Christianity through monetary inducement and fallacious propaganda, has resulted in generation of insecurity in the Non-Christian World. Islamic World took it seriously and just as a tortoise tries to hide itself within its shells, Islamic people were made to hide themselves behind the preachings of Islamic Clerics and Mullahs.♝
♛India was never a Martial Country. Indians were never war-mongerers. In fact, their love for non-violence, probably owing to the precepts of Gautama Buddha and Vardhaman Mahavira, Indians did not evolve themselves into bellegerence. Consequently for thousands of years they faced invasions from numerous races from Arabia, Persia, Turkey, South Europe, North Europe, Baltics and Central Asia. Though suffering various degrees of slavery from these races, Indians every invader-race-tribe into the country, and evolved into a Newer Nation. Of course, it also resulted in birth of an obnoxious Caste System.♝
♛The entry of the two grossly greedy proselytizing Religions having their Headquarters in Mecca, Rome, England (&Europe,America) brought a sweeping change in the Social Structure of India. (9930) ♝

EVMS tamperabilities, views of Mr. Kannan Gopinathan, Resigned IAS Officer
:♛The following newsreport from TelegraphIndia.com is worth reading: https://www.telegraphindia.com/india/paper-machine-chink-in-evm-officer/cid/1707423.♝
♛It gives a bird's eyeview of what is done to Electronic Voting Machines used in India, before they are sent to Polling Stations.♝
♛Mr. Kannan Gopinathan was Returning Officer in Dadra Nagar Haveli Lok Sabha Constituency in the 2019 April Lok Sabha Elections. Hence, his observations may be considered as first hand experiences.♝
♛He is reported to have tweeted: "So, you might remember my spirited defence of EVMs. I still stand by it, except that my first election with VVPAT has taken away my trust. VVPAT has created a hole in the EVM armour & made the process amenable to hacking…"♝
♛Another: "...Unlike before, the Ballot Unit (BU) is not connected to Control Unit (CU — Memory of EVM) directly any more. It is connected through VVPAT. Means what you press on that blue button in the BU is not registering the vote in the CU anymore. But what VVPAT communicates to CU is!...". A spokesperson of ECI has responded to the observations of Shri Gopinathan. We shall take up those things some other time, because some waiting is necessary to view how Shri Gopinathan responds to the ECI's Response. (9926)♝

NRC REGISTER, a futile exercise?
:♛NRC Register (National Register of Citizens) appears to be a futile exercise.
♛Bangla Desh or Pakisthan may not, under any circumstances, take back the hundreds of thousands of persons identified as intruders/foreigners.
♛It will be expensive to maintain the Left-outs of NRC Register, in Refugee Camps.
♛Governments have already wasted nearly 15 billion Rupees on an impractical pursuit.
♛Solution: Strengthening and sealing borders with Pakisthan, Bangla Desh, even across flooding rivers, with two rows walls and fences, and a two level checking system. (99413)

■ Why did Saif Ali Khan want to celebrate his Birthday in England? ♞:▲In Aug. 2019, Mr. Saif Ali Khan, Indian Film Actor of Bollywood celebrated his birthday in London, with his wife Kareena Kapur and son Taimur.▼
▲All successful Bollywood Actors seem to have purchased Buildings/Real Estate in key locations in London.▼
▲It is not clear whether he has applied for any British Passport or not. Of course, UK may be too eager to issue him a British Passport, because he is one among Rich Indians.▼
▲What will our Patriotic Ruling Party say about this? Celebrating birthday in London, with friends will definitely cost a million Rupees or more.▼
▲Should we believe that if Cinema Industry flourishes in India, everything else in India will flourish?▼

TODAY'S QUOTE FROM KARL MARX: :
■Karl Marx & ENGELS , Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right♞:♛[Martin] Luther, we grant, overcame bondage out of devotion by replacing it by bondage out of conviction. He shattered faith in authority because he restored the authority of faith. He turned priests into laymen because he turned laymen into priests. He freed man from outer religiosity because he made religiosity the inner man. He freed the body from chains because he enchained the heart.♝
ybrao-a-donkey's personal observations: Bondage is bondage, whether it is by devotion or by faith. Either way the shackles deserve to be broken. It is really immaterial whether Priests became laymen, or laymen became priests. Religiosity can harm whether inner or outer. Chains are chains irrespective of whether body is chained or heart is chained, or both are chained.
TODAY'S QUOTE FROM VYASA MAHABHARATA ENGL. TRANSL.: :
■VYASA MAHABHARATA TRANSLATED BY Ganguli, BOOK3, BOOK OF FOREST/m03116.♞:♛The Mahabharata, Book 3: Vana Parva: Tirtha-yatra Parva♝
♛KArtavIrya (King of Mahishmati, Yadava Clan, Moon Dynasty, Haihaya Kingdom, Narmada River), however, intoxicated with a warrior's pride, was not at all pleased with the reception accorded to him, and by force and in defiance of all resistance, seized and carried off from that hermitage the chief of the cows whose milk supplied the sacred butter, not heeding the loud lowing of the cow.♝
♛ And he wantonly pulled down the large trees of the wood.♝
♛ When ParaSu Rama came home, his father himself told him all that had happened.♝
♛ Then when ParaSu Rama saw how the cow was lowing for its calf, resentment arose in his heart.♝
♛ And he rushed towards Kartavirya's son, whose last moments had drawn nigh.♝
♛ Then the descendant of Bhrigu, the exterminator of hostile heroes, put forth his valour on the field of battle, and with sharpened arrows with flattened tips, which were shot from a beautiful bow, cut down Arjuna's arms, which numbered a thousand, and were massive like (wooden) bolts for barring the door.♝
♛ He, already touched by the hand of death, was overpowered by Rama, his foe.♝
♛ Then the kinsmen of KartavIrya Arjuna, their wrath excited against ParaSu Rama, rushed at Jamadagni in his hermitage, while ParaSu Rama was away.♝
♛ And they slew Sage Jamadagni there; for although his strength was great, yet being at the time engaged in penances, he would not fight.♝
♛ And while thus attacked by his foes, he repeatedly shouted the name of ParaSu Rama in a helpless and piteous way.♝
♛ And, O Yudhishthira, the sons of Kartavirya shot Jamadagni, with their arrows, and having thus chastised their foe, went their way.♝
♛ And when they had gone away, and when Jamadagni had breathed his last, ParaSu Rama, the delight of Bhrigu's race, returned to the hermitage, bearing in his arms, fuel for religious rites.♝
♛ And the hero beheld his father who had been put to death.♝
♛ And grieved exceedingly he began to bewail the unworthy fate that had laid his father low.♝
