[1] From: EMPOWER INDIA <ttn_empower@sancharnet.in> Date: Wed Jul 12, 2006 Subject: Cabinet papers out under right to info Cabinet papers out under right to info http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1719575.cms NEW DELHI: Breaching the confidentiality of the Union Cabinet for the first time, the Central Information Commission (CIC) has allowed an appellant access to Cabinet papers and communication between the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) and CBI. The appellant, Anil Kumar, had asked for information under the Right to Information Act from the department of personnel and training (DoPT) regarding the appointment of MTNLs CMD. In August 2004, on the recommendation of the Public Enterprises Selection Board (PESB), the department of telecommunications (DoT) and DoPT proposed R S P Sinhas name as MTNL CMD to the Appointments Committee of Cabinet, which subsequently approved it. The appointment was challenged in September in the Delhi High Court by the Indian Telecom Service Association on the ground that PESB had arbitrarily changed the appointment criteria. In his appeal to CIC, Anil Kumar, who represents an NGO - Telecom Watchdog - alleged that Sinha is a man of doubtful integrity and substantive manipulative skills. He also alleged irregularities by officials in PSEB, DoT and DoPT in appointing Sinha. Against this backdrop, Kumar had asked for information regarding details of when the interview was conducted by PESB, whether PESB was shown Sinhas annual confidential report (ACR) by the administrative ministries concerned and if Sinhas ACR had adverse entries.

Eagle Eye : From green revolution to... KP Prabhakaran Nair Down to Earth, India's Science and Environment Magazine http://www.centralchronicle.com/20060712/1207303.htm How feasible would it be for India to open up its research institutions for foreign "collaboration", asks KP Prabhakaran Nair. Indian agriculture is at a crossroads. To make agriculture viable and profitable, the thrust should be to improve the situation of poor farmers and not just powerful farmers owning hundreds of hectares, in whose fields the so-called green revolution took place. The green revolution promised much. But today it's caught up in a cloud of environmental controversies, with fertile land turning barren due to chemical overuse, drying aquifers and vanishing biodiversity. The keyword today is "gene revolution". But even here, poor farmers stand to suffer. ------------- [3] From: "editor@countercurrents.org" <editor@countercurrents.org> Date: Wed Jul 12, 2006 Subject: CC News Letter 11/7-Zidane Seven Blasts Rock Mumbai, 147 Feared Dead By Agencies http://www.countercurrents.org/ind-mum110706.htm ------------------ [4] From: "Pradeep Deshpande" <proton54@hathway.com> Date: Fri Jul 14, 2006 8:18 am Subject: Re: [indiathinkersnet] Dazed, in Mumbai Yes. I share your views and expressions about the blasts on 11/7 in Mumbai. The City belongs to all and so is the case with the nation. Our secular democratic set up is indeed safe in the hands of those who opted for it on 15/8/1947 and sealed it on 26/1/1950. Surely , We have overcome and shall overcome again and again, hand in hand , through ;thought and practice and this happens only in India .

I have never seen such human urge to save the injured and bleeding by the one who fortunately escaped unhurt or lived close by. Everything was spontaneous. There were politicians, no policemen or firemen to organize and provide crucial relief to dieing. Human to human feeling was outpouring. No one thought of caste or religion or financial status of the people who served and who were served. I was writing the following, how even supposedly the most enlightened politicians adopt divisive policies to succeed who lack caliber and intelligence. Just the other day on a trivial issue over 30 towns in India were rampaged and hate spread on a big scale. Ex. Speaker of Lok Sabha was among the supporters of the tamasha. We Indianthinkers express our condolences to kin of the dead and wish speedy recovery to the injured. Let us take a pledge to defeat any one, spreading hate and dividing the people or the mediocre. Arun Shourie Devoid of Statesmanship- Quack PhD Friends, The strongest candidate in BJP ranks, Arun Shourie who could be named Laxman of BJP at any time ABV chooses thus top BJP choice for Prime Ministership, is very low of grade as a statesman. He is dividing the citizens of India: - ? On religious lines, ? On caste lines, ? Foreign Trained Indian Engineers v/s IIT v/s Non IIT lines, ? Rich v/s Poor, ? Ambani v/s Non Ambani ? Communists v/s Non Communists, ? Even BJP v/s Non BJP. ? East and West or North and South A person who attains certain milestone in education and gets enlightened ought to rise above petty mindedness and acquire some level of statesmanship deal people on equal terms. But even after acquiring Quack PhD for 38 years, he continues to be Out-rightly biased against certain people. He has written over 14 books spreading hate of different kind. During NDA rule $150b were distribute to industry to produce substandard or outdated products or low tech product that have low value addition. At $35b India is number three in providing incentives and concessions to industry which is 5% of GDP and 17% of industrial production. There was obviously gross corruption and mismanagement and putting money behind out dated technologies and products.

That the first class general compartments of the Western Rail at peak evening hours were made the primary targets tells its own tale. (Mumbai has three major arterial rail services: Western, Central and Harbour. The Western one serves the most affluent demographic profile.) The perpetrators of such heinous crimes, and their masterminds, have to be identified and swiftly brought to book. But any act of mindless reprisal against another set of uninvolved individuals, for the sole crime of belonging to a religious community to which the suspected criminals may belong, would just not be as obnoxious but also pretty foolhardy as well. It'd only make the task of the real criminals to cover their tracks far easier. Not only that, it'd also tend to swell the ranks of potential criminals by engendering intense helpless rage seeking outlets in matching brutality. It does not behove the BJP to charge that the 'soft' policy of the UPA government is responsible for a spurt in 'terrorism'. One must not forget that it is under their regime the Kargil war took place as they miserably failed to detect in time sizeable intrusion from across the LoC in Kashmir. It is under their regime, the Red Fort and the Indian Parliament House, and also the Kashmir Assembly came under armed assault. It is under their regime, the Akshaydham Temple in Gandhinagar - at the heart of "Killer" Modi land, became the site of a prolonged bloody gun battle. Only a sensible inclusive policy promoting a sense of belonging in all sections of Indian citizenry will lead to the isolation of the perpetrators of such bloody heinous crimes. The cynical attempt of the BJP leadership to fish in troubled water by deliberately muddying it is just not condemnable but downright dangerous as well.] --------------- [8] From: palash biswas <banga_sss2003@yahoo.co.in> Date: Wed Jul 12, 2006 Subject: Re: [issuesonline] Mumbai Muslims give blood to Hindu bomb victims Terrorism can not disintegrate this country.
