Because of Mahatma Gandhi,
Gujarat has always been in the world
attention. Now it is again popular
because the Prime Minister Narendra
Modi and the Home Minister Amit
Shah they both are from Gujarat.
Sardar Vallab Bhai Patel’s statue is also
drawing worldwide attention to Gujarat
Mr Trump landed in Sardar Vallab Bhai
Airport in Ahemdabad in Gujarat on the
24th February 2020. From here he was
taken to the newly built, the Motera
Stadium. It is claimed to be the biggest
cricket stadium in the world. Mr Trump
did the honour to open it.
He also visited the Gandhi Ashram
and here he paid his respects. He tried
his hand on the spinning wheel to make
cotton thread. Is it the same spinning
wheel that Gandhi Ji used in the
Valmiki Mandir, Delhi?
Ghandhi ji stayed in the Maharishi
Valmiki Mandir in Delhi for nearly nine
months to promote equality between the
lower and the higher castes.
For Trump’s visit a six hundred
meters long wall was built and portraits
of Mr. Trump and Mr. Modi plus other
interesting features were painted on it.
A lot of effort has been put in decorating
of this newly built wall. The purpose
of the wall was to hide the slum
areas visible on departure from the airport.
Some slum areas along the way
were served notices to clear their areas.
This was done to hide the conditions in
Gujarat that many are living in. The
truth was hidden from Mr. Trump.
The people in hundreds cheered him
as he passed. The thousands waited for
him at the stadium and welcomed him
on his arrival. Special performances
were laid in his honour.
Mr. Trump also visited Taj Mahal in
Agra. The Taj Mahal is on the bank of
river Jamuna and to make it presentable
for him, the water from river Ganges
was diverted into it. The state of river
Jamuna near the Taj Mahal has been an
issue for a very long time.
But the authorities have failed to
give any attention but Mr Trump’s visit
has done the unthinkable. No one ever
thought that the River Ganges water
WORLD
TRUMPS RECEPTION IN GUJRAT
will be fed into the river Jamuna, but it
has. Mr Trump’s visit will be recorded
and remembered as a Historical event
of the year 2020.
Mr Trump is the third President of
America to visit the Taj Mahal. Prince
Charles and late Lady Dianna, plus
quite a few more Government representatives
have visited it. On their visits,
the state of river Jamuna did not matter
but on Mr Trump’s visit has become an
issue. May be Mr Modi’s closeness
with Mr Trump is behind this.
Whatever the reason may be, it is a
blessing for the river Jumna that Mr
Trump’s visit has brought it to the
Indian Government’s attention. May be
the authorities will now pursue it’s
cleanness because dignitaries from all
over the world keep visiting the Taj
Mahal. Mr. Modi chose Gujarat as the
starting point for Mr Trump’s visit but
internally a lot of hatred through caste
is present. Latest incident is that a
Jawan meaning an Indian Army soldier,
who belonged to a Dalit family returned
to Gujarat for his marriage. He is serving
in the force that protects the Indian
borders. It is customary for the groom
to ride on a horse when going for the
marriage. The family arranged this and
they also arranged for the police escort.
A very small number of the police was
accompanying the procession. All was
going fine. But when they reached the
higher caste area they came under stone
attack from the waiting higher caste
crowd. They were shouting that the
Dalits are not supposed to ride on a
horse because it is an insult to the higher
caste people. Some members of the
wedding group received serious injuries
and had to receive hospital treatment.
The mob over powered the police and
the groom was forced to dismount and
his ceremonial sword was snatched
away from him.
Extra police was ordered on the
scene and the procession went ahead.
This soldier, who proudly serves mother
India, had never expected that this
would happen to him on his wedding
day. He may have come under stone
attacks whilst on duty but to come
under stone attack from his own people
and in his own village must be a very
disturbing experience for him.
Gandhi Ji, Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar
Ji, plus many saints like Guru Ravi
Dass ji, Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Guru
Govind Singh Ji, Sant Gyaneshwar Ji
and many more have fought to bring
equality amongst the people in India. It
seems the RSS minded Hindutavi higher
caste are so deeply glued to being
superior then all through the caste difference,
they do not want to let it go.
It is only a very small number of the
Hindu organisations and Hindu Dharma
Gurus who are instigating the caste
hatred in India. The Hindu followers
who have RSS mind set are the ones
causing the problems for everyone else
India. Not all the Hindus are behind this
new Hindu-Rashtra movement and this
is why we see a large number of them
standing with the protestors opposing
CAA, NPR and NRC.
The CAA, NRP and NRC in long run
are not going to defuse but will infuse
hatred in India. The people are protesting
because they can see a very bleak
future for them under the Manu-vadi
Hindu dominance. So there are protests
all over in India to stop the Hindutav’s
spreading. The CAA is the first step
and NPR and NCR will follow. There

are cases coming to light of the people
falling prey to NCR. They have been
asked to show proof to their residency
in India. Their adhaar cards, their Bank
proofs and any other form of identity
they have are worthless. They have
been asked to produce ancestral record
that shows their entitlement to citizenship
in India. They are so confused that
they do not know what papers are needed
and where to get them. People will
be randomly picked mainly from the
lower caste and the Muslim communities.
The ones who cannot produce may
end in the detention centres being built
all around India. Historically the inhabitants
of India have been victimised
since Aryan arrival and now are going
to be preyed upon through CAA, NRP
and NRC. Mr. Modi and Mr. Shah both
come from Gujarat and here hatred
against the Muslims and the lower
castes is present but it seems they are
not bothered about it. How can one
expect justice from Mr Modi and Mr
Shah when it is present, where their
own families are living.
The people have come to learn from
Mr. Trump’s visit that the BJP is very
good in covering up situations. So it
does fuel the doubts on the Fulvama
incident. The car with explosives waited
for nearly an hour, how come it wasn’t
picked by the Security Police? How
come the majority of the soldiers who
lost their lives in the incident were of
Dalit and lower caste origin?
How come the families of the
deceased are still waiting for explanation?
The world is waiting to know
who was behind this disaster that
claimed forty lives.
The people who are in the favour of
CAA – NPR – NCR should watch
episodes being shown Ek Mahanayak
DR. Bhim Rao Ambedkar on the TV. It
shows of the brutality of the Higher
castes towards the lower castes.
The millions of people in India have
faith in Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar’s
Constitution and honour him as the
SON OF MOTHER INDIA.
JAI BHARAT.

Peshawar mosque
opens doors for
women after 25 yrs
Meerut
Peshawar : Women in Peshawar will be able
to offer Friday prayers in congregation after a
25-year hiatus as the law and order situation in
the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province has improved
significantly following the
launch of successful military
operations, a media
report said.
Until the mid 1990s,
women would offer
Friday prayers in congregation
at Sunehri Masjid
(Golden Mosque) situated
in the Peshawar cantonment
but the practice was
abandoned after terrorism
badly hit the provincial
capital, The Express Tribune said in the report on
Saturday. Dozens of terrorist attacks took place
near the mosque which led to its closure for
women almost 25 years ago. In 2016, 16 people
were killed and dozens wounded when a powerful
bomb went off as the bus carrying mostly
government employees cruised past the mosque
in the crowded marketplace of Saddar. Now, with
a substantial improvement in the security situation,
the authorities have
decided to resume the
practice and arrangements
for women's congregation
prayers have
been finalised. The
authorities have also put
up a banner outside the
mosque carrying message
"that women are now
welcomed to offer Friday
prayer at Sunheri
Masjid".
The move is being praised as a step to discourage
the patriarchal nature of spaces like
mosques and 'hujras' (a room where guests are
entertained in Pashtun areas of Pakistan) from
where women are excluded.
9 swine flu deaths in UP
17 PAC jawans test positive
: After the coronavirus
scare it is now swine flu
that is raging on in Uttar
Pradesh. The death toll in the
state has reached nine, six of
which are from Meerut alone,
and 17 Provincial Armed
Constabulary (PAC) jawans
have tested positive for swine
flu in the district in the past 48
hours. Meerut Chief Medical
Officer Raj Kumar said, "Out of
the 27 PAC jawans of the Sixth
Battalion admitted to the Lala
Lajpat Rai Memorial Medical
College (LLRMMC) with complaints
of fever, cold and other
similar symptoms, 17 have tested
positive for swine flu. Hence,
around 370 jawans in the battalion
were given Tamiflu tablets
and instructed to remain on the
campus to prevent further spread
of the infection. With this, the
total number of swine flu cases
in the district has gone up to 71."
The official said, "We have
added 40 more beds in the isolation
ward of the LLRMMC
taking the total number to 56."
The district hospital and other
private hospitals have also been
asked to increase the number of
beds in the isolation wards.
In the wake of the rising
number of swine flu cases, doctors
have advised that only one
member of the family should be
involved in taking care of the
infected patient to avoid spread
of the disease. People have
been asked to wash hands frequently,
wear a mask when in
the vicinity of the patient and
take care of cleanliness in the
patient's room.
