[1] From: Satyajit Roy <satyajit_roy@hotmail.com Date: Thu Nov 29, 2007 Subject: RE: [InterIIT] Re: Executives take Ayn Rand seriously !!!!! few more comments Dear AdarshI would like to frame your argument in a different way to show why Capitalism creates inequalities in the world. It deals with the concept of Wealth, which creates more wealth without the indidual doing anything. Lets illustrate what I am saying, say for example a person through his hard work, has a surplus of $1M. Now in our capitalist society, he can "invest" this money, now investment is not equal to actual work. But his wealth now goes on growing without him doing any work. In fact his wealth is growing due to the actual work of others, who are involved in production etc. This is what is the root of inequality. But our money-based systems of today are geared more towards money creating more money for the individual, rather than rewarding labor or work. I would like our great capitalist proponents to comment on what I am saying.

Lina Joy has been disowned by her family and friends and forced into hiding for renouncing Islam for Christianity. Lina’s decision to leave Islam sparked angry street protests by Muslim groups and led to death threats against the Muslim lawyer who is supporting her. Malaysia’s highest court will rule whether her constitutional right to choose her religion overrides an Islamic law that prohibits Malay Muslims from leaving Islam. In Malaysia, where Islam is increasingly conflicting with minority religions, the case is bound to have wide-ranging effects on those who wish to maintain a secular society. About 60 percent of Malaysia’s 26 million people are Malay Muslims, whose rights are decided by Islamic Shariah courts. The other smaller communities are governed by civil courts. The situation has been muddied by the Malaysian Constitution, which describes Malaysia as a secular state but recognizes Islam as the official religion. source: http://story.malaysiasun.com/index.php/ct/9/cid/48cba686fe041718/id/25197\ 0/cs/1/ --------------- [5] From: Regi P George <george_regi@yahoo.com Date: Thu Nov 29, 2007 Subject: Tehelka expose telecast to be probed Tehelka expose telecast to be probed Sandeep Joshi NEW DELHI: Information and Broadcasting Minister P. R. Dasmunsi on Wednesday said there was some “deep-rooted” conspiracy behind the telecast of the Tehelka expose on Gujarat riots of 2002 just before the Assembly elections. An investigation into the episode was being conducted. Speaking during the question hour in the Rajya Sabha, Mr. Dasmunsi said it seemed there was some connivance between certain people in Delhi and Ahmedabad to polarise society and flare up communal passions in the just before the elections. “A group has been constituted that is probing the matter and soon the House will be informed of its outcome.” Defends Collector He defended the Ahmedabad Collector Dhananjay Dwivedi for banning TV channels from airing the expose. Under the Cable Television Networks (Regulation) Act passed by Parliament, collectors had the power to ban telecasts of material found endangering peace and harmony. “No other collector in Gujarat except Mr. Dwivedi showed the courage to ban the telecast of the expose. Even the Election Commission later approved of his action,” the Minister added. Stating that the role of State-run Gujarat Fertilizer, allegedly involved in the case, was being probed, Mr. Dasmunsi said a company called Infinium that had a licence from the Department of Telecommunications used outdoor broadcast (OB) vans and various fibre optic networks to downlink signals of the channel “Vande Gujarat” from the internet and broadcast it during prime time. Infinium misused its licence by using OB vans to block prime-time programmes of regular television channels to air Vande Gujarat. He refuted charges levelled by the Opposition members that he was trying to shield the Modi Government -------------- [6] From: Regi P George <george_regi@yahoo.com Date: Thu Nov 29, 2007 Subject: Re: [Mahajanapada] Re: Naroda Patiya to Nandigram Some people survive on others spelling mistakes. That is what the double standard of the one who hiding NomChomski's Statment when it come out not the way they expected shows. It is nothing but PR work. We do this kind of PR work around the Nation.

Four major Muslim organisations have said they want mosques to sign up to a community watchdog with powers to launch spot checks on standards. ----------- [8] Taslima Nasrin vs MF Hussein By Syed Ali Mujtaba http://www.countercurrents.org/mujtaba291107.htm The other hypocrisy that comes out very clearly from this episode is while the Sangh Privar and others welcome Taslima Nasrin, a foreigner with open arms to live any where in India, they have booted out MF Hussein, the living Picasso of India from his own country. It seems the ninety-year- old living legend is heading to become another Bahadur Shah Zafar who may bemoan for not getting two meters of land for his burial in his own motherland The Paradox Of Taslima Nasreen By Vidya Bhushan Rawat http://www.countercurrents.org/rawat291107.htm Is Taslima treading a dangerous path in India by courting the Hindu fundamentalists?
