Rashtriya swayamsewak Sangh/ Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Samiti.
Sir you claim to be and indeed you are the protector of Hindus worldwide. However you have made no efforts to secure the community from future threats on a permanent basis. All our Gods or you may call them, Avtars or Dieties or our ancestors, if, you wish, were all suitably armed, be it Vishnu or Ram or Krishna or Shiv or Hanuman, Ganesh, Kartikeya, Indra or for that matter Goddess Durga, Goddess Kali , who had Weapons in all their hands and yet because of influence of some passive sects like Jainism and Buddhism we have forgotten the lesson taught to us by our Gods i.e. that violence is real and peace is only imaginary even the Western thought says that the world started with a big bang i.e. with a very violent happening. Our own religion Sanatan Dharm also says that in the beginning there was only Shabd(sound it may be that here also reference is to the big bang). The great Sikh Gurus recognized this weakness of the Hindus and tried to tell them, that to save Dharma they need to be suitably armed and needed to initiate other protective measures, however although they failed to convince the cowards among the community yet they were able to convince a very large number about the need for an armed struggle and were instrumental in checking the tyrannical muslim rulers and saving the Sanatan Dharm. It is a pity that because of wide spread corruption in Free India and due to the political ambitions of the rich landed classes among the Sikhs, now the Sikhs think that they are separate from Hindus. Even they have forgotten the lessons given by the Great Gurus and even now are content to be armed with Kripan and at the most with a sword, weapons which in those days were the conventional weapons. Even at that time the Great Sikh Gurus used the modern weapons like the Guns and Cannon. In the present context, kripan and sword may still have some ornamental value and may be enough to scare away the Unarmed Citizens but it should be remembered that the Enemy is and will be very well armed and by the time the sword is drawn or the Kripan taken out, hundreds of bullets will have hit the Khalsa.. It must be remembered that the Gurus never meant these symbols to be mere ornaments but they were prescribed for protection of the self as well as the Faith. Therefore it is the need of the hour that the Akal Takth and other Sikh religious bodies issue a diktat that the Sikh will in addition to his conventional weapons, also and always carry a modern Firearm also. Let there be a confrontation with the Government over this if it resists.
Similarly You are requested to prevail upon the Shankracharyas to issue a similar edict. What are the Shankaracharyas and thousands of other Baba-logs, the Mahants, the Sadhus, the likes of Murari Bapu, Pilot Baba, The Gurumais etc doing any way? Just enjoying their billions in their fortified Ashrams. They are preparing Armies of Mosquitos by collecting millions of Bhakts and reading holy books((Historical texts) and citing from them and in the name of Ram and Peace taking the Bhakt’s money and fooling him by talking of peace while the fact is that the history as well as the future of the World was and will be full of bloodshed and gore. Violence is a way of life so be prepared if not to Offend then at least to defend. For my other articles please read my blog http://sharmarobby.wordpress.com

Taliban -Terrorist leaders- Any suicide Bombers from their family.
Taliban & Terrorist leaders-how many suicide Bombers from their own family.
It will be interesting to know if the Government of India, Ministry of Home Affairs, keeps any data about the number of suicide Bombers (Fidayeen), who belong/ed to the family of the Taliban or Terrorist leaders of Pakistan and Afghanistan. If these Terrorist leaders are sparing their close relatives then it can be a propaganda tool to counter the Jehadis.and the people of Pakistan and other Islamic nations should be made aware of this fact, may be it will help the war on terror. How many Wives, Brothers, Sisters, Sons & Daughters of their own did Osama Bin Laden or Mullah Umar or Maulana Asad Mazoor or Betullah Masood send as fidayeen to die for Jehad. Is it only the poor & wretched and brainwashed Islamists who are sent by these Terrorist/Taliban leaders to blow themselves up & Die. Does the Government of United States keep any such record. May be we can seek this information from the Government of India under the Right to Information Act.

Save India Seek answers of simple Questions
Protest Fast/ Nyaya Yatra by Robby Sharma, R/O 865, Block-B,Panki Kanpur-208020.
Mob-09415438326, 09235844258, email—sharmarobby@hotmail.com; blog-http://sharmarobby.wordpress.com
Dear Friends: It is high time we sought the answer to some basic questions, relating to the teeming masses , from the people in power in India. I intend to start a Nyaya Yatra, creating awareness amongst the people. The Nyaya Yatra will consist of visits to various Places in India, token hunger strikes there and eventually Fast unto death. If you agree then let me know. The following are the reasons & demands:-
Ten percent of the Indians, comprising of the Government Officials, the Politicians, The Judges, The Bureaucrats and the Super rich are exploiting and devouring the dreams and aspirations of the balance 90 %, i.e. the general public. Let it be, may be it is destiny and they are not to blame but the following minimum demands need to be met, While the Government is free to decide the Complicated issues like Nuclear option, the foreign policy etc but answers to some very simple questions relating to the citizens and the socialist character of the Nation, need to be given:-
Problem -1. Crores of cases are pending in Courts, the entire Judicial system is in shambles & has failed .The Supreme Court and High Court judges often proclaim openly that the Government is not providing the Infrastructure but none of them have ever done anything to force the Government, to act. On the other hand, if two Rail accidents take place, there is demand for Railways Ministers Resignation. The Home Minister Resigns after a few Terrorist attacks and the entire Government is called upon to accept Moral Responsibility & Resign In Maharashtra and other parts of the Country, thousands of Farmers have committed suicide on their failure to manage their families. Then why can not the Judges of the Supreme Court and High Courts also own up Moral Responsibility & Resign to put pressure on the Government.
Demand -1. I seek the Resignation of the Chief Justice and other Judges of the Supreme Court & High Courts of India so that the Government is forced to provide the Infrastructure for disposal of at least 95 % of cases within six months. At least ten times the present strength of Judges is required. Instead of prescription of minimum number of Judges in Supreme Court, Our Constitution provides for the opposite, i.e. there is restriction of maximum number. I had sent letter to Chief Justice of India on 07-11-2007, calling for his Resignation, the letter is reproduced here:-
Problem-2.The Government has monopolized & usurped the medical facilities of the Country for the chosen few while the general public is dying on the roads, due to lack of even the most basic of medical facilities Now how can the socialistic Constitution of India permit this. Billions of Rupees of public funds are spent on costly treatment of VIP’s.
Demand -2. The Central Government & State Governments should make available from public funds, for medical treatment of the common citizen, the same amount as they would spend for the treatment of the Prime Minister, the President, The Chief Ministers & VIP’s in States, the Judges , the I.A.S officers, Other State & Central Government Employees. In short free medical aid should be made available to the Citizens irrespective of his or her status in life or in the alternative; VIP’s & Government Officials should also die on the roads , same as the general public.
Problem- 3. Speculation in land has become the national Sport of India & Indians, every body including Governments, politicians, Traders, Government officers, Judges & other rich & powerful persons are engaged in buying, hoarding & selling at profit, land all over the country, just like potatoes and Onions. In case of housing land in urban areas, the State itself is the biggest Land mafia. At the same time, Crores of citizens are living like animals on roads on footpaths on drains.
Demand-3. Stop Speculation in Land. The Ceiling Act, repealed in 1999 has to be reenacted. & this ceiling should apply to all towns above 100000 population.Hang those who defy the ceiling. Ban Sale of Agricultural land in the Urban areas to non agriculturists (those whose families did not hold agricultural lands at the time of Agrarian Reform Acts within 15 km radius of the then Urban boundary).Exempt developers ,with the restriction that they will have to complete their Schemes within 5 years,
Ensure for provision of minimum 50 square meter of Housing land to all slum dwellers at rates affordable to them based on the average earnings of Indians after excluding the earnings of the higher earning ten % .
Problem-4.The Government has been spending billions & billions of rupees from public funds on the Security facilities of the VIP’s, while the general public is dying on the roads; in their houses, at the hands of criminals & terrorists. All our Hindu Gods & Goddesses carry a variety of weapons, Shiv ji carries a Trishul, Hanuman ji a Gada, Ramji -A Bow, Krishna ji & Vishnu-the Sudarshan Chakra, Ganeshji & Lord Kartikeya are suitably armed, Ma-Durgaji, Ma Kali are carrying weapons in many of their arms thus the message of my religion for me & all my fellow Country men of my faith is loud & clear-Violence is a way of life for your own Protection, Be suitably Armed for any eventuality. Two Terrorists killed hundreds of innocent citizens in Taj Hotel. Had the public inside been suitable armed and prepared, then could they kill so many. The Terrorists themselves would have died at the Citizens hands much before the NSG Commando’s arrived.
Demand-4. All the adult Citizens of India should be issued, on their demand, Arms Licenses for their protection & hand-Guns should be imported from China & given free of cost to them so that they too can have some chance to protect their lives, their loved ones and their property, from criminals and terrorists.
Problem-5. Millions of Job-seekers & students are cheated by Governments by not actually sending entrance papers and interview letters but they are shown to have been sent by way of false Under postal certificate (UPC), Almost all U.P.C’s are bogus.
Demand-5. Immediately ban the UPC service of Post office and instead send all intimation letters by Registered post.
Problem -6. All the Basics of life in India namely Education, Health, Justice & Housing are under the control of the mafia out of these the last two are under control of the Government which itself is the biggest mafia in control of Justice & having monopoly over Housing Land. these basics of life are priced out of the reach of the masses. There is an all pervading sense of insecurity amongst the masses leading to corruption at all levels. Politicians and Government officers have only two things on their minds, Bribe & Sex, Government Offices and Secretariats have become Dens of Pimps and Touts. Even Military generals are accused of embezzlements in purchase of meat, eggs and rations, selling subsidized Liquor in the open market and mixing water in Fuel tankers, which is a pitiable situation.
Demand-6. Take steps to ensure that Mafia elements are ousted from these Basic services , laws are suitably amended in a people friendly manner and all the basics are available at affordable costs to all and the sense of insecurity amongst the masses is no longer there. Provide for capital punishment for corruption.
Problem -7. It is a well known fact that thousands of false complaints are lodged against innocent persons daily leading to their harassment. People have been languishing in Jails for murders of people, who are alive.90 % of Dowry & SC/St harassment cases, are false.The Cr P C & the IPC are without adequate safeguards in them to protect the citizens against false complaints.The history of criminal trial in India & the mind set of the Judges, brings out a very disturbing picture and that is that if a F I R is lodged, then PUNISHMENT & IMPRISONMENT IS MUST no matter howsoever, false, the Complaint may be. Because if the Police finds the complaint to be bogus & expunges the F I R or files Final report then their action is opposed by the Courts on hundreds of grounds, like by saying that police has taken bribe etc from the accused etc etc, or the investigation is not proper etc etc On the other hand if a charge sheet is filed by the Police, howsoever false it may be then no Court will interfere & will say that the Police has acted most honestly & a innocent person will be harassed through out his life. It is much easier for the Police to charge-sheet an innocent person rather then to acquit him and they are taking the easy way out. Even the Supreme Court, which frequently over-rules the Judgments passed by full benches of the Higher Courts, when it comes to quashing the false Charge-sheets filed by Police Sub inspectors on the basis of false complaints/witnesses, take the word of the Sub-inspector as the Gospel truth.
Demand-7.Amend the Law so that false Complainant is given the death penalty. The Complainants should also be subjected to Narco Analysis & Lie Detection tests. These tests should also be used to prove the innocence of falsely accused persons, just as they are used to prove the guilt of the guilty.
Problem -8. The Indian State & the Judiciary is no longer capable of making proper Laws & proper interpretation of the Indian Constitution, due to the rotten Legal education system and pro Government wrong Judicial decisions prevailing since decades.
Demand-8.Call for Legal Experts from abroad to give lessons on Article 13 of the Indian Constitution & other fundamental Rights of Citizens to the Indian Judiciary.
Problem -9.Actually the problem is that when the British made the laws in India all legislation in India was based on the principle that those implementing it will be absolutely fair & that is why most of the legislations are failing presently because the implementing agencies are totally dishonest hence if any legislation in India is to succeed then, it should be kept in mind, while framing it, that the implementing agency is most likely to be totally corrupt & therefore for this purpose necessary safeguards & penal provisions to punish the implementing Agency have to be inbuilt in the existing and new legislation
Demand-9. The Central and State Governments should insert the necessary safeguards in all Laws (in the Law itself),to punish the officers for dereliction of duty, for example if the Municipal Law prohibits commercial buildings in Residential areas but such buildings do come up then the concerned Engineers and other officers , entrusted for their prevention should face severe punishment of at least seven years in Jail immediately as well as termination of service, similarly if a Revenue Inspector fails to report an encroachment on public land immediately then he should face same penalty immediately. Provide for capital punishment for corruption.
Problem-10. THE NAREGA ACT, 2005 (Gramin Rojgar Guarantee Act) for purpose of giving guaranteed employment to the rural poor will most certainly break up the Rural households and the joint family system prevailing for millions of years due to the wrong definition of “Household” which means the members of a family related to each other by blood, marriage or adoption and normally residing together and sharing meals or holding a common ration card; Thus if a Householder is living together with say
His three sons & their wives as well as his own minor children as well as
those of his sons then only one of the entire lot will be entitled to Employment Guarantee of hundred days and if the House hold breaks up and the Sons start living separately then at least four of the lot will be entitled. Now what will this do, is, either break up the family or force them to get separate ration cards, live together but lie about it and bribe the Pradhan and in short become a thief in the eyes of the Law.
Demand-10. I therefore demand from the Central Government to make the necessary change in the definition of the word “household" in the THE NATIONAL RURAL EMPLOYMENT GUARANTEE ACT, 2005 so that it does not lead to breaking up the Households or to converting millions more (poor rural citizens), to the already a very large community of Liers & thieves which we, Indians already are. The word Household or family should mean “husband, wife and minor children only” as it is defined in all other laws.
Problem-11 Article-14 of the Constitution has to be properly redefined, If Mulayam Singh is the C.M, he pumps in thousands of Crores in to an obscure Village Saifai, which is his constituency and his Home District is freed from power cuts. If Sonia is in power, the Central Government pumps in thousands of Crores worth of projects in her Constituency, Similarly Railway Ministers from Bihar provide hundreds of Trains to Bihar, ignoring the rest of the Country, at the same time hundreds of Parliamentary or Legislative Constituencies lack the most basic of facilities. What is this? Is it not might is right, the Uncivilized ways of the Barbarians.
Demand-11. The Planning Commission should be accorded Constitutional Status and the location of all projects of the Central or State Governments above (presently 10 Crores of Rupees) should be cleared by the Planning Commission after carefully analyzing the Statistical data of various constituencies and their need. The Politicians in power should not have the power to nurture their Constituencies at the cost of other citizens, of other Constituencies. If this is not done then just as States are breaking up alleging discrimination against one region or other, there will be hundreds of other break-ups threatening the Unity and integrity of the Nation itself.
Problem-12 The Hindu/Sikh Community is being discriminated against in all Islamic Countries of the World, Jajia Tax is being levied on them, their Houses are being seized, their lives and properties are at constant risk at all times.
Demand-12. The Government of India should issue an open invitation to All Hindus/Sikhs of such Islamic Countries, like, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia etc to come and settle freely in India.
To Hon’ble Justice…K.G Balakrishnan, C. Justice of India. .Supreme Court of India New Delhi
From (Robby Sharma)- 865, Block-B, Panki Kanpur-Uttar Pradesh India-pincode-208020
.Mob-0-9415438326, email- sharmarobby@hotmail.com , blog-http://sharmarobby.wordpress.com Hon’ble Sir: Appeal 07-11-2007
Nations can fight wars & still Survive; Nations can fight Disease & still survive: Nations can fight hunger & survive.
No Nation, which does not, ensure, Justice to its Citizens can ever Survive.
When a few Railway accidents happen, there is a hue & cry & the Resignation of the Railway Minister is called for:
When a few riots take place, the resignations of the C.M, P.M, Home Minister are demanded & in the past a few Politicians did resign taking moral responsibility for the failure although they themselves were not rioting.
After the China War debacle, the Defense Minister went although he was not on the front , fighting.
There is total failure of the justice System in the Country, with millions of cases pending & millions of uprooted Farmers are not able to get their Land Acquisition Compensation as their cases have been pending for decades at various levels.
Millions have died waiting for justice and yet their cases are pending and their dues gobbled up by the respondents, with the Government itself gobbling up billions of rupees being the biggest litigant.
Still many millions, victims of heinous crimes have died, their souls waiting, for punishment of those who killed or maimed them. The President of India, K R Narayanan on 28-01-2000, while speaking on the occasion of the Golden Jubilee of the Supreme Court of India said “That even now Justice is not available to the poor….That is why it is said that Courts are Casinos, where a lot depends on how you throw your dice…..If the Citizens do not get fair & affordable justice then … they may instead of following the rule of law, take the law in to their own hands”.
(The news items dated 29-01-2000 were carried in Amar Ujala & Aaj of Kanpur )
At various forums, the Chief Justices of India as well as other Hon’ble Judges have voiced their concern saying that the Government is not appointing the required number of Judges and is also not giving the required Infrastructure. It is true that at least ten times the present strength is required. In Pakistan having just about 15 % of population as compared to India , there are about nineteen serving Supreme Court Judges while our Constitution provides for a maximum strength of about 27 or 28 instead, it ought to have provided for a minimum number rather than for maximum.
The result is that many languages and states of the Country may not even find representation in the Supreme Court. Thus from the beginning it seems the Rulers did not want the Country to have an effective Judiciary. All the essentials of life i.e. Education, Health Services, Land for Housing and Occupations, in Cities have been allowed by the Governments to fall in to the hands of the Mafia and it is not providing Infrastructure for an effective Judiciary.
Out of the above, The Government is the biggest Mafia, controlling Land, specially Urban Land, acquiring it at throw away prices on a large scale & thereafter hoarding it and releasing it in small quantities, slowly, driving up the prices and profiteering, a la- Sukhhi Lala of the Film Mother India who used to hoard the grain and then ask for the Honor of the women who wanted grain to feed their Children.
There has grown an all pervading Sense of Gloom and In-Security amongst the Masses in the Country.
The Senior Officers of the Army are being charged with crimes of selling off petrol during transportation & instead, carrying water in its tankers & dumping in the fuel dump(case reported from Jammu recently) then there was the News of selling off of subsidized Liquor of Army Canteens, in to the open market by Army Generals. There has been embezzlements in purchase of Army Rations, Pulses and meat & underweight Eggs as well. Such a situation is deplorable but how does one expect a well read, sophisticated Army Officer to pay for the professional education (Medical/Engineering/MBA) of his Children which can presently cost about Rs twenty-thirty lakhs per person in India. How can he buy a House for himself which in keeping with his status can cost upwards of several Crores in a good-sized City. We are not paying him that kind of a Salary? Therefore by allowing for large-scale speculation in land as well as surrendering the Education & Health services to the Mafia forces the Governments have destroyed the Institution of the Army as well.
Therefore I am aware that alongside the suffering masses of India, People of the Judiciary are also the Victims of the wrong policies of the Governments and many of the Judges at the lower Court Levels along with the Advocates practicing there are also struggling to meet both ends meet. The same may be the situation with respect to many advocates in the High Courts of a few Northern States and even the Judiciary is not free from this sense of Insecurity.
Other than the resignations en- masse by the Judges of the Supreme Court and the High Courts, there is no other way to force the Government to provide for at least ten times the number of Judges as well as the required Infrastructure. That is the only way by which the Governments will be pressurized to act.
Therefore I appeal to those of you , who, have the financial security of their own and not dependant on the Government for it & who have their Children well settled in life, to resign & force the Government to provide the Required Infrastructure & fix a time limit for disposal of various types of cases so that at least 95 % of the cases in all the High Courts/Supreme Court/Consumer Commissions /Consumer forums are decided after full study of files, in maximum 100 days and at least, 95 % of the cases in the lower Courts are finally decided in maximum 200 days.
Although in the past I have said many uncomplimentary things about the Judiciary but recent happenings have made me think again. As per News Item dated 28th October-2007, in the presence of the Ex Chief Justice of India Shri V. N. Khare, it was observed that the Rulers want to keep the Judiciary handicapped by not providing the required Infrastructure. In view of the above I have decided to Appeal to your good Conscience. I have further decided to devote the rest of my life to achieve the above Objective & raise my voice & undertake a Nyaya-Yatra, to secure Fast & efficient justice for all in India.
This letter is being sent first to the Chief Justice of India only thereafter it will be sent to other Judges.
I remain Yours Sincerely

Problem -9.Actually the problem is that when the British made the laws in India all legislation in India was based on the principle that those implementing it will be absolutely fair & that is why most of the legislations are failing presently because the implementing agencies are totally dishonest hence if any legislation in India is to succeed then, it should be kept in mind, while framing it, that the implementing agency is most likely to be totally corrupt & therefore for this purpose necessary safeguards & penal provisions to punish the implementing Agency have to be inbuilt in the existing and new legislation
Demand-9. The Central and State Governments should insert the necessary safeguards in all Laws (in the Law itself),to punish the officers for dereliction of duty, for example if the Municipal Law prohibits commercial buildings in Residential areas but such buildings do come up then the concerned Engineers and other officers , entrusted for their prevention should face severe punishment of at least seven years in Jail immediately as well as termination of service, similarly if a Revenue Inspector fails to report an encroachment on public land immediately then he should face same penalty immediately. Provide for capital punishment for corruption.
Problem-10. THE NAREGA ACT, 2005 (Gramin Rojgar Guarantee Act) for purpose of giving guaranteed employment to the rural poor will most certainly break up the Rural households and the joint family system prevailing for millions of years due to the wrong definition of “Household” which means the members of a family related to each other by blood, marriage or adoption and normally residing together and sharing meals or holding a common ration card; Thus if a Householder is living together with say
His three sons & their wives as well as his own minor children as well as
those of his sons then only one of the entire lot will be entitled to Employment Guarantee of hundred days and if the House hold breaks up and the Sons start living separately then at least four of the lot will be entitled. Now what will this do, is, either break up the family or force them to get separate ration cards, live together but lie about it and bribe the Pradhan and in short become a thief in the eyes of the Law.
Demand-10. I therefore demand from the Central Government to make the necessary change in the definition of the word “household" in the THE NATIONAL RURAL EMPLOYMENT GUARANTEE ACT, 2005 so that it does not lead to breaking up the Households or to converting millions more (poor rural citizens), to the already a very large community of Liers & thieves which we, Indians already are. The word Household or family should mean “husband, wife and minor children only” as it is defined in all other laws.
Problem-11 Article-14 of the Constitution has to be properly redefined, If Mulayam Singh is the C.M, he pumps in thousands of Crores in to an obscure Village Saifai, which is his constituency and his Home District is freed from power cuts. If Sonia is in power, the Central Government pumps in thousands of Crores worth of projects in her Constituency, Similarly Railway Ministers from Bihar provide hundreds of Trains to Bihar, ignoring the rest of the Country, at the same time hundreds of Parliamentary or Legislative Constituencies lack the most basic of facilities. What is this? Is it not might is right, the Uncivilized ways of the Barbarians.
Demand-11. The Planning Commission should be accorded Constitutional Status and the location of all projects of the Central or State Governments above (presently 10 Crores of Rupees) should be cleared by the Planning Commission after carefully analyzing the Statistical data of various constituencies and their need. The Politicians in power should not have the power to nurture their Constituencies at the cost of other citizens, of other Constituencies. If this is not done then just as States are breaking up alleging discrimination against one region or other, there will be hundreds of other break-ups threatening the Unity and integrity of the Nation itself.
Problem-12 The Hindu/Sikh Community is being discriminated against in all Islamic Countries of the World, Jajia Tax is being levied on them, their Houses are being seized, their lives and properties are at constant risk at all times.
Demand-12. The Government of India should issue an open invitation to All Hindus/Sikhs of such Islamic Countries, like, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia etc to come and settle freely in India.
To Hon’ble Justice…K.G Balakrishnan, C. Justice of India. .Supreme Court of India New Delhi
From (Robby Sharma)- 865, Block-B, Panki Kanpur-Uttar Pradesh India-pincode-208020
.Mob-0-9415438326, email- sharmarobby@hotmail.com , blog-http://sharmarobby.wordpress.com Hon’ble Sir: Appeal 07-11-2007
Nations can fight wars & still Survive; Nations can fight Disease & still survive: Nations can fight hunger & survive.
No Nation, which does not, ensure, Justice to its Citizens can ever Survive.
When a few Railway accidents happen, there is a hue & cry & the Resignation of the Railway Minister is called for:
When a few riots take place, the resignations of the C.M, P.M, Home Minister are demanded & in the past a few Politicians did resign taking moral responsibility for the failure although they themselves were not rioting.
After the China War debacle, the Defense Minister went although he was not on the front , fighting.
There is total failure of the justice System in the Country, with millions of cases pending & millions of uprooted Farmers are not able to get their Land Acquisition Compensation as their cases have been pending for decades at various levels.
Millions have died waiting for justice and yet their cases are pending and their dues gobbled up by the respondents, with the Government itself gobbling up billions of rupees being the biggest litigant.
Still many millions, victims of heinous crimes have died, their souls waiting, for punishment of those who killed or maimed them. The President of India, K R Narayanan on 28-01-2000, while speaking on the occasion of the Golden Jubilee of the Supreme Court of India said “That even now Justice is not available to the poor….That is why it is said that Courts are Casinos, where a lot depends on how you throw your dice…..If the Citizens do not get fair & affordable justice then … they may instead of following the rule of law, take the law in to their own hands”.
(The news items dated 29-01-2000 were carried in Amar Ujala & Aaj of Kanpur )
At various forums, the Chief Justices of India as well as other Hon’ble Judges have voiced their concern saying that the Government is not appointing the required number of Judges and is also not giving the required Infrastructure. It is true that at least ten times the present strength is required. In Pakistan having just about 15 % of population as compared to India , there are about nineteen serving Supreme Court Judges while our Constitution provides for a maximum strength of about 27 or 28 instead, it ought to have provided for a minimum number rather than for maximum.
The result is that many languages and states of the Country may not even find representation in the Supreme Court. Thus from the beginning it seems the Rulers did not want the Country to have an effective Judiciary. All the essentials of life i.e. Education, Health Services, Land for Housing and Occupations, in Cities have been allowed by the Governments to fall in to the hands of the Mafia and it is not providing Infrastructure for an effective Judiciary.
Out of the above, The Government is the biggest Mafia, controlling Land, specially Urban Land, acquiring it at throw away prices on a large scale & thereafter hoarding it and releasing it in small quantities, slowly, driving up the prices and profiteering, a la- Sukhhi Lala of the Film Mother India who used to hoard the grain and then ask for the Honor of the women who wanted grain to feed their Children.
There has grown an all pervading Sense of Gloom and In-Security amongst the Masses in the Country.
The Senior Officers of the Army are being charged with crimes of selling off petrol during transportation & instead, carrying water in its tankers & dumping in the fuel dump(case reported from Jammu recently) then there was the News of selling off of subsidized Liquor of Army Canteens, in to the open market by Army Generals. There has been embezzlements in purchase of Army Rations, Pulses and meat & underweight Eggs as well. Such a situation is deplorable but how does one expect a well read, sophisticated Army Officer to pay for the professional education (Medical/Engineering/MBA) of his Children which can presently cost about Rs twenty-thirty lakhs per person in India. How can he buy a House for himself which in keeping with his status can cost upwards of several Crores in a good-sized City. We are not paying him that kind of a Salary? Therefore by allowing for large-scale speculation in land as well as surrendering the Education & Health services to the Mafia forces the Governments have destroyed the Institution of the Army as well.
Therefore I am aware that alongside the suffering masses of India, People of the Judiciary are also the Victims of the wrong policies of the Governments and many of the Judges at the lower Court Levels along with the Advocates practicing there are also struggling to meet both ends meet. The same may be the situation with respect to many advocates in the High Courts of a few Northern States and even the Judiciary is not free from this sense of Insecurity.
Other than the resignations en- masse by the Judges of the Supreme Court and the High Courts, there is no other way to force the Government to provide for at least ten times the number of Judges as well as the required Infrastructure. That is the only way by which the Governments will be pressurized to act.
Therefore I appeal to those of you , who, have the financial security of their own and not dependant on the Government for it & who have their Children well settled in life, to resign & force the Government to provide the Required Infrastructure & fix a time limit for disposal of various types of cases so that at least 95 % of the cases in all the High Courts/Supreme Court/Consumer Commissions /Consumer forums are decided after full study of files, in maximum 100 days and at least, 95 % of the cases in the lower Courts are finally decided in maximum 200 days.
Although in the past I have said many uncomplimentary things about the Judiciary but recent happenings have made me think again. As per News Item dated 28th October-2007, in the presence of the Ex Chief Justice of India Shri V. N. Khare, it was observed that the Rulers want to keep the Judiciary handicapped by not providing the required Infrastructure. In view of the above I have decided to Appeal to your good Conscience. I have further decided to devote the rest of my life to achieve the above Objective & raise my voice & undertake a Nyaya-Yatra, to secure Fast & efficient justice for all in India.
This letter is being sent first to the Chief Justice of India only thereafter it will be sent to other Judges.
I remain Yours Sincerely

Rogue Media Houses need to be leashed
Rogue Media Houses need a tight leash
To 06-December-2008
Sri Manmohan Singh Ji
Prime Minister of India
New Delhi
Sir
1. Something needs to be done urgently to leash the Rogue Media in India, the example of recent Terrorist attacks is a case in point ,where the Media went overboard and exposed the Foreign Tourists and Security personnel to great risk, by reporting their status, position and strategy , which the Terrorists saw live on TV or mobiles.
2. The public trial of criminal cases by the media is another case in point, where the reputations of thousands are tarnished daily by this Rogue media.
The most important point is that the Media Houses, especially the established Print media groups are mostly owned by Lalas, Baniya families, who have hundreds of other business interests and they are using their media clout to blackmail the Establishment and Politicians to further their questionable Business interests, some of them have themselves become Rajya Sabha or Legislative Council members. Many of them are Land Mafia elements and they enjoy the Government Patronage in grabbing Lands.
3. There is the old saying, CHOR, CHOR MAUSERE BHAI (thieves are like cousins), I openly throw a challenge that if the owner of a media House or an established Reporter were to openly indulge in Rape, not a single line about the incident will be carried by any Media house or Newspaper.
The media is supposed to be the fourth pillar of democracy therefore it is essential that the Reporters should be paid in accordance with their needs to maintain a reasonable status so that they can report the truth and thus ensure the dignity this fourth pillar. As against this the Reporters of Newspapers (particularly Hindi Newspapers) are paid paltry amounts, with the result that most of them actually are and act like Bonded menial laborers of the owners and are in fact engaged in advancing the illegal trades of their owners, rather than advancing the cause of the Fourth Pillar of Democracy.
In a recent incidence, when the owners of the Dainik Jagran Group, one Mahendra Mohan Gupta, Rajya Sabha M.P, in order to force me to withdraw some public interest petitions, filed by me (raising the issue of grabbing of Cremation Ghat Garden and other Public Parks by their group company and Society, for using for their Commercial ventures), got a false FIR lodged against me (by a person whom I have never even met or ever knew and for this purpose they engaged the services of a so called Labor leader but actually a Mafia element Ramji Tripathi, who runs a Illegal Guest House in residential area and also has an illegal Market and for all these he has been stealing and using electricity directly from the pole. Presently , under the garb of Ganga pollution, he has been extorting money from Tanneries of Kanpur) under SC ST and other Acts, I met senior reporters off Amar Ujala, Hindustan, Tehelka and all other Newspapers and wrote to about a hundred more Media Houses, not one, agreed to carry a single line in my support and at the same time the Dainik Jagran carried reports almost daily to pressurize the Police to send me to Jail. Their Reporters, one Adesh Tripathi and another one carried the False complainant against me in the Groups Car and Paraded him (and exhorted him to give false statements, telling him that he had nothing to fear for his falsities as the full might of the media giants, the Dainik Jagran group was behind him) before the Police Officers.
REMEDY
Therefore something needs to be done to free Journalism from the Clutches of these blood sucking vested interests and Media Barons. (i)- Firstly, by a suitable Legislation. Media Groups, their owners, their relatives etc should be prohibited from entering or carrying out any other Professions or business interests just as the Advocates are barred from carrying on any other business or professional activity other than that of an Advocate.
(ii)- There should be a pay commission for journalists and the pay scale and benefits of Reporters should be fixed at par with at least that of an High Court Judge, if this pillar of democracy is to be saved, needless to say that standards for minimum qualifications of Journalists as well as the Institutes imparting Journalism courses also need to be set. (iii)- Stringent Penal provisions to punish yellow Journalism and media trials. (iv)- An Autonomous Press improvement Body should be set up to encourage forming of Cooperative Societies of Journalists and other Media professionals, which in turn should be encouraged to set up Media publishing Houses and for this purpose, easy and interest free loans for plant and operational expenses should be advanced to them so that at least the first three years expenses are taken care of.
I hope that the Government will do something to check the Malaise
Thanking You
Yours sincerely

Mumbai terror attacks and sitting ducks ( Public) / Government’s folly.
Mumbai terror attacks and sitting ducks ( Public) / Government’s folly.
Please be informed that all the security apparatus of the Country has been monopolized by the State and the people are left to die on the streets.
Please tell me would the Terrorists have dared to engage in Mayhem in Taj or Oberoi or the other places if they felt that in these places there would be hundreds of guns in the hands of the people visiting them and these guns would be firing back at them. Will any dacoit or thief ever jump in to your Home if he knew that there may be three or four weapons firing back at them from your side.
` I had written in 2006, in the first post dated 27-03-2006, on my blog http://sharmarobby.wordpress.com
81. All our Hindu Gods & Goddesses carry a variety of arms, Shiv ji carries a Trishul, Hanuman ji a Gada, Ramji -A Bow & Arrows, Krishna ji & Vishnu-the Sudarshan Chakra, Even Balramji the brother of Krishna had a an Arm, Ganeshji & Lord Kartikeya are suitably armed, Ma-Durgaji, Ma Kali are carrying Weapons in many of her arms thus the message of my religion for me & all my fellow Country men of my faith is loud & clear-Violence is a way of life for your own Protection, Be suitably Armed for any eventuality. Therefore the Government can not make any law to the contrary & at the same time Monopolize all the Security apparatus of the State for the own personal use of a few VIP’s.
My demand in the letter of 2006
All the Citizens should be issued, on demand, Arms Licenses for their protection( instead of the present practice of issuing licenses on political patronage basis) & hand-arms should be imported & given free of cost to all the citizens so that they too can have some protection for their lives.
I intend to confront the Government on this and a few other very very basic issues concerning general public , some of them you can read on my blog.If you support me then contact me.

Dainik Jagran owners lodge false F.I.R against RTI activist
From Robby Sharma dated-27-10-2008
865, Block-B, Panki
Kanpur-208020
Uttar Pradesh, India
Mobile 0-9235844258;0-9415438326.
To All the friends working for the RTI cause in particular and for removal of Corruption from the Country as the larger goal.
Subject: False FIR No.378 of 2008, filed against me in Panki Police station of Kanpur on
the directions of the Dainik Jagran Newspaper group Owners.
Dear friends
As you are aware that I have been trying to protect the Parks, green areas and other heritage of the City of Kanpur in particular and the State of U.P. in general.
The Owners of the Dainik Jagran group of Newspapers entered in to a conspiracy with the Kanpur Development Authority Vice Chairman N. N. Prasad in 1999 and with the help of the then Minister Lalji Tondon, managed to grab a five acres Land of the Biggest Cremation Ghat of Kanpur, i.e. Bhairon ghat, which had been given by the British for plantation of Ornamental flower Plants and Herbal Plants to guard and protect the Sanctity of the Cremation Ghat.
Thereafter a beautiful Herbal Garden came in to existence on the Site and was known as Ayurvedic Garden. In the Master Plan of Kanpur made and enforced in 1970,the entire Land including the existing Elgin Mills Bungalows was reserved for the purpose of Cremation Ghat /Ayurvedic Garden green area.
In 1999 the then Vice Chairman , N, N, Prasad handed over the Garden to the Dainik Jagran people and they constructed a Multiplex Known as RAVE-3.At that time the K.D.A V.C concealed the Master Plan Status of the Land from everyone including the State Government Officers and even the District Collector also and allotted it to the Jagran people for Cinema halls/Multiplex.
How three Picture Halls and entertainment Complex as well as Shopping Complex could be built on the Cremation Ghat. It is only the greed of the Jagran group owners that resulted in the happening of the blasphemous activity on the Resting place of the dead.
Therefore actually a F.I.R should be lodged against the Jagran Owners, N.N. Prasad, Lalji Tondon and other officers of the Awas Department who connived in the crime against the City of Kanpur and the trust of the Citizens.
I filed a writ Petition No.20999 of 2002 in the Allahabad high Court seeking directions for demolition of Rave-3 Multiplex and for restoration of the Ayurvedic Garden on the site.
In 2002 itself they made attempts to buy me and having failed they threatened to have me murdered ,this they did through their Land Mafia crony friend Ramji Tripathi, who runs a illegal Tripathi Guest House as well as two market Complexes in Panki and for the last decade or so has been running them by stealing electricity also directly from the pole.
In 2003 this very group managed to get allotted a fully developed Park No.831 in Panki –B, Block for a College in the name of Sri parade Ram-lila Society and cut off about two thousand fully grown Trees and sold off Timber worth about fifty Lakhs Rupees. I filed another Writ Petition No.30203 of 2003 in Allahabad High Court praying for restoration of the Park.. Again I was threatened to be killed by Ramji Tripathi against whom I gave complaint letters in July-2003 to Panki Police Station but no action was taken.
In 2008 after the coming in to force of the Right to Information Act-2005, I got many documents from the Fire Department and Kanpur Development Authority which will help me in the cases in High Court. It came to light by the documents that the Rave-3 Multiplex had been operational from 2001 to August-2007 although the Fire Department of Kanpur had repeatedly declared it unsafe from Fire Safety point of view. It was and is Operational without the mandatory Completion certificate of Kanpur Development Authority and as against the permitted construction of 30% covered area for Commercial Purposes, they are using 67 % for this purpose., the Map was cancelled in January-2001 and the Compounding Map has also been cancelled.
Similarly Rave@ Moti has also been constructed Illegally in Residential Area and is Operational without the Mandatory Completion certificate.
In order to put pressure on me They have through Ramji Tripathi given a false complaint against me in beginning of May-2008, through a person of Scheduled Caste, one Ram Singh Sweeper, whom I have never met nor do I know him but it is alleged that I took two thousand rupees from him and promised him employment in Nagar Nigam and thus cheated him and then threatened to kill him when he demanded the money back.
I along with other RTI volunteers met the Commissioner, D.M, S.S.P. Kanpur and held a press Conference after which the Bureau Chief of the Dainik Jagran, one, Sanjeev Mishra, called the RTI volunteer friend Kuldeep Saxena to the Dainik Jagran Office and told him that either Robby Sharma should take back his cases from the High Court or they will phone the Panki Police Station In charge and have me arrested. All this matter was brought to the notice of the Commissioner, the D.M, the S.S.P and I.G. as well as the DGP and the Chief Minister in May/June.
Friends of the RTI fraternity helped me a lot and due to the efforts of the Senior Journalist Bobby Ramakant, the international media, Seoul Times, Thai Indian News, News Blaze etc high lighted the story as well as Assam Times.
Now tonight a Police Constable again came to my House and told me that the Case against me has been registered as F.I.R No.378 of 2008.This has as you all know been done due to the tremendous influence both political, media and money power of the powerful owners of the Dainik Jagran Newspaper.
The Police in the first instance was very considerate and saw the complaint as a totally false one, the Complainant did not even know my name properly and mentioned it wrongly in the Complaint, the complainant Ram Singh is Illiterate and got the Complaint written by one Subodh, again a person I do not know who said he was with Ram Singh when I threatened him (Ram Singh).
Therefore the stage is set, a Complaint has been filed against me alleging serious charges, by a person ,whom I do not know, Who himself does not know my correct name yet he claims that he gave me money (full two thousand rupees out of fifteen thousand demanded by me)to get him a Government Job, there is a witness Subodh again somebody I know nothing about.
There is a new S.S.P in Kanpur one Mr Hari Ram Sharma, whom I have not met till now. I am writing below the extract from Seoul Times of South Korea ,dated-18-may-2008.:-

Kanpur Land-Sharks Intimidate RTI Activist by Fabricating False Charges
By Bobby RamakantAsian Correspondent
Land-mafia in Kanpur in connivance with officials of Kanpur Development Authority (KDA) have slapped false fabricated charges against an Right-to-Information (RTI) campaign leader - Roby Sharma.
Roby has been spearheading the RTI campaign in Kanpur since past two years now, exposing corruption and championing people's causes across the city.
Roby had filed a RTI application seeking the information from the KDA and Fire Department officials on how many multi-storey buildings are following the fire-safety norms setup by them, and how many of these buildings have obtained a no-objection certificate from the fire department.
Roby had further asked under the RTI Act that under which government order, are the private guest houses and businesses conducting commercial businesses in residential localities.
Also in Panki region of Kanpur, a 'ramleela' park was allotted to build a private school. Roby had filed a RTI application seeking to know under which government order have the allotment been made.
Due to the connivance of land-mafia with KDA officials, there are many such instances of illegal and unauthorized land grabbing across the city of Kanpur.
KDA has not given a response to many previous RTI applications of Roby and the hearing of these cases are currently undergoing in State Information Commission (SIC) of UP.
Also media has been colluding too! A leading city newspaper owns two major multiplexes - Rave three and Rave five - both of which are functioning without a no-objection certificate from Fire department. The bureau chief of this newspaper Sanjeev Mishra had threatened another acquaintance of Roby to 'stay away from Rave' related cases. The bureau chief also threatened the acquaintance to get Roby arrested and 'rot in jail for rest of his life.'
When Roby Sharma went for a hearing in the office of KDA's Secretary Hemant Kumar Singh, another senior KDA official Mahaveer Singh had verbally abused him and threatened of dire consequences if 'Roby doesn't stop seeking information.'
"RTI Act is a much-heralded public interest constitutional policy empowering the citizens and bestowing them with their fundamental right to information in the democratic India. But rampant corruption, malpractices and nexus between the 'powerful' and mighty and authorities are posing a huge challenge to the committed RTI champions like Roby Sharma" said Mahesh Kumar, another leading RTI activist in Kanpur.
The activists today met the district magistrate of Kanpur who assured them of taking action.

Subject: False FIR No.378 of 2008, filed against me in Panki Police station of Kanpur on
the directions of the Dainik Jagran Newspaper group Owners.
Dear friends
As you are aware that I have been trying to protect the Parks, green areas and other heritage of the City of Kanpur in particular and the State of U.P. in general.
The Owners of the Dainik Jagran group of Newspapers entered in to a conspiracy with the Kanpur Development Authority Vice Chairman N. N. Prasad in 1999 and with the help of the then Minister Lalji Tondon, managed to grab a five acres Land of the Biggest Cremation Ghat of Kanpur, i.e. Bhairon ghat, which had been given by the British for plantation of Ornamental flower Plants and Herbal Plants to guard and protect the Sanctity of the Cremation Ghat.
Thereafter a beautiful Herbal Garden came in to existence on the Site and was known as Ayurvedic Garden. In the Master Plan of Kanpur made and enforced in 1970,the entire Land including the existing Elgin Mills Bungalows was reserved for the purpose of Cremation Ghat /Ayurvedic Garden green area.
In 1999 the then Vice Chairman , N, N, Prasad handed over the Garden to the Dainik Jagran people and they constructed a Multiplex Known as RAVE-3.At that time the K.D.A V.C concealed the Master Plan Status of the Land from everyone including the State Government Officers and even the District Collector also and allotted it to the Jagran people for Cinema halls/Multiplex.
How three Picture Halls and entertainment Complex as well as Shopping Complex could be built on the Cremation Ghat. It is only the greed of the Jagran group owners that resulted in the happening of the blasphemous activity on the Resting place of the dead.
Therefore actually a F.I.R should be lodged against the Jagran Owners, N.N. Prasad, Lalji Tondon and other officers of the Awas Department who connived in the crime against the City of Kanpur and the trust of the Citizens.
I filed a writ Petition No.20999 of 2002 in the Allahabad high Court seeking directions for demolition of Rave-3 Multiplex and for restoration of the Ayurvedic Garden on the site.
In 2002 itself they made attempts to buy me and having failed they threatened to have me murdered ,this they did through their Land Mafia crony friend Ramji Tripathi, who runs a illegal Tripathi Guest House as well as two market Complexes in Panki and for the last decade or so has been running them by stealing electricity also directly from the pole.
In 2003 this very group managed to get allotted a fully developed Park No.831 in Panki –B, Block for a College in the name of Sri parade Ram-lila Society and cut off about two thousand fully grown Trees and sold off Timber worth about fifty Lakhs Rupees. I filed another Writ Petition No.30203 of 2003 in Allahabad High Court praying for restoration of the Park.. Again I was threatened to be killed by Ramji Tripathi against whom I gave complaint letters in July-2003 to Panki Police Station but no action was taken.
In 2008 after the coming in to force of the Right to Information Act-2005, I got many documents from the Fire Department and Kanpur Development Authority which will help me in the cases in High Court. It came to light by the documents that the Rave-3 Multiplex had been operational from 2001 to August-2007 although the Fire Department of Kanpur had repeatedly declared it unsafe from Fire Safety point of view. It was and is Operational without the mandatory Completion certificate of Kanpur Development Authority and as against the permitted construction of 30% covered area for Commercial Purposes, they are using 67 % for this purpose., the Map was cancelled in January-2001 and the Compounding Map has also been cancelled.
Similarly Rave@ Moti has also been constructed Illegally in Residential Area and is Operational without the Mandatory Completion certificate.
In order to put pressure on me They have through Ramji Tripathi given a false complaint against me in beginning of May-2008, through a person of Scheduled Caste, one Ram Singh Sweeper, whom I have never met nor do I know him but it is alleged that I took two thousand rupees from him and promised him employment in Nagar Nigam and thus cheated him and then threatened to kill him when he demanded the money back.
I along with other RTI volunteers met the Commissioner, D.M, S.S.P. Kanpur and held a press Conference after which the Bureau Chief of the Dainik Jagran, one, Sanjeev Mishra, called the RTI volunteer friend Kuldeep Saxena to the Dainik Jagran Office and told him that either Robby Sharma should take back his cases from the High Court or they will phone the Panki Police Station In charge and have me arrested. All this matter was brought to the notice of the Commissioner, the D.M, the S.S.P and I.G. as well as the DGP and the Chief Minister in May/June.
Friends of the RTI fraternity helped me a lot and due to the efforts of the Senior Journalist Bobby Ramakant, the international media, Seoul Times, Thai Indian News, News Blaze etc high lighted the story as well as Assam Times.
Now tonight a Police Constable again came to my House and told me that the Case against me has been registered as F.I.R No.378 of 2008.This has as you all know been done due to the tremendous influence both political, media and money power of the powerful owners of the Dainik Jagran Newspaper.
The Police in the first instance was very considerate and saw the complaint as a totally false one, the Complainant did not even know my name properly and mentioned it wrongly in the Complaint, the complainant Ram Singh is Illiterate and got the Complaint written by one Subodh, again a person I do not know who said he was with Ram Singh when I threatened him (Ram Singh).
Therefore the stage is set, a Complaint has been filed against me alleging serious charges, by a person ,whom I do not know, Who himself does not know my correct name yet he claims that he gave me money (full two thousand rupees out of fifteen thousand demanded by me)to get him a Government Job, there is a witness Subodh again somebody I know nothing about.
There is a new S.S.P in Kanpur one Mr Hari Ram Sharma, whom I have not met till now. I am writing below the extract from Seoul Times of South Korea ,dated-18-may-2008.:-

Kanpur Land-Sharks Intimidate RTI Activist by Fabricating False Charges
By Bobby RamakantAsian Correspondent
Land-mafia in Kanpur in connivance with officials of Kanpur Development Authority (KDA) have slapped false fabricated charges against an Right-to-Information (RTI) campaign leader - Roby Sharma.
Roby has been spearheading the RTI campaign in Kanpur since past two years now, exposing corruption and championing people's causes across the city.
Roby had filed a RTI application seeking the information from the KDA and Fire Department officials on how many multi-storey buildings are following the fire-safety norms setup by them, and how many of these buildings have obtained a no-objection certificate from the fire department.
Roby had further asked under the RTI Act that under which government order, are the private guest houses and businesses conducting commercial businesses in residential localities.
Also in Panki region of Kanpur, a 'ramleela' park was allotted to build a private school. Roby had filed a RTI application seeking to know under which government order have the allotment been made.
Due to the connivance of land-mafia with KDA officials, there are many such instances of illegal and unauthorized land grabbing across the city of Kanpur.
KDA has not given a response to many previous RTI applications of Roby and the hearing of these cases are currently undergoing in State Information Commission (SIC) of UP.
Also media has been colluding too! A leading city newspaper owns two major multiplexes - Rave three and Rave five - both of which are functioning without a no-objection certificate from Fire department. The bureau chief of this newspaper Sanjeev Mishra had threatened another acquaintance of Roby to 'stay away from Rave' related cases. The bureau chief also threatened the acquaintance to get Roby arrested and 'rot in jail for rest of his life.'
When Roby Sharma went for a hearing in the office of KDA's Secretary Hemant Kumar Singh, another senior KDA official Mahaveer Singh had verbally abused him and threatened of dire consequences if 'Roby doesn't stop seeking information.'
"RTI Act is a much-heralded public interest constitutional policy empowering the citizens and bestowing them with their fundamental right to information in the democratic India. But rampant corruption, malpractices and nexus between the 'powerful' and mighty and authorities are posing a huge challenge to the committed RTI champions like Roby Sharma" said Mahesh Kumar, another leading RTI activist in Kanpur.
The activists today met the district magistrate of Kanpur who assured them of taking action.

I once again request you all to please help and support me in this hour of need
Thank You All

RTI Act dead and buried in U P by Info Commisioners
Up State Information Commissioners, Good for nothing Junk
No body seems to be bothered to go in to the actual problem of U.P. State Information Commission. most of the Information Commissioners are either discarded Government advocates of High Court (close chums of Satish Mishra, Mayavati's man friday).Please note and understand clearly that good for nothing advocates, who are unsuccessful in their practices, bribe the politicians to become Government Advocates. Now they have been appointed Information Commissioners by Mayawatiji so that these good for nothings can draw a lakh of rupees as salary. It is but natural that they will wag their tails to the tune of the Government.
Secondly two of the S I C's are Hindi Newspaper journalists, who generally are nothing more than blackmailers. It is only after the advent of the TV media that the Government's misdeeds in some cases are being exposed which these Hindi Newspapers were all the time sweeping under the carpet and getting fat on Government dole. Therefore what needs to be done is to clearly get the term "Persons of eminence in Public life" clearly defined in the RTI Act, Section-12-(5). which provides that CIC and other Commissioners as well as S I C's should come from this category and the Governor be sounded on this. Surely discarded Government Advocates of High Court can not belong to this category. Maybe eminent advocates like Nani Palkiwala, Soli Sorabji etc may qualify but how can persons like Subhash Chandra Pandey, Ram saran Awasthi, Gyanendra Sharma, Virendra Saxena, Brijesh Mishra, Sunil Chaudhary, R H V Tripathi, Major Sanjay Yadav qualify as persons of eminence in public life.
I still feel that initially (till the legal aspects of all the exemption clauses of the Act are settled, for which, high degree of legal Competence is needed ), the majority should comprise of reputed retired High Court or Supreme Court Judges coming from Non Government Advocates Cadre only and a few persons of real eminence in public life " like Anna Hazare, Sandeep Pandey Rajendra Singh, etc.
I have been to the Commission on at least a dozen occasions and found a all pervading sense of hostility towards the Applicant Information seekers there. They have for all practical purposes killed the RTI Act in U.P. they have been disposing off cases at their own sweet will. They have even fixed their working hours from 11 A.M to about 1400 hours. Even the High Court and Supreme court have not taken the liberty of starting at 11.00 A.M. There is no registration of applications for certified copies of the Orders. The applicants are asked to fill in the application for copy of order , fix rupees ten stamp and one Rs one stamp and drop it in a box. The applicants who come from far off places have no means of knowing whether their applications for copies of orders are ever registered or simply thrown away after removing the stamps. Although the Commission is given power of Civil Court but it has not bothered to note that in civil Courts, Applications for copies are given registration numbers and a record off all such applications is kept and the applicant is aware of his application’s registration number, I myself applied for a copy of order passed on my application on 22-may-2008, all records disappeared and I never got the copy. I applied for copies of order dated 5th august 2008, passed by Chief SIC on two of my applications on 5th of August-2008, the copy was not ready even on the 15th of September when I went for yet another hearing. On 15th of September, the Chief Information Commissioner Gyanendra Sharma clearly told me that it was not his and the other Info Commissioners Job to read the Applications. I was sitting in his office for about three hours waiting for the PIO of the concerned department to come although my application was listed at serial No.1 and all the time he Gyanendra was telling the P I O’s of the concerned departments to use such and such section to deny the information and same thing he told the PIO of the concerned department relating to my application.
The commission after receiving the Application fixes the first date of hearing after about three to four months of receiving it. The notice of hearing, which is sent by ordinary post (mostly it is never sent to the Applicants I myself never received the notice regarding at least 50 % of my applications, again why the Commission does not send by registry is a mystery because the Civil Courts always send notices by registered A.D. post. The intention is clear they want to decide as many cases as they can in the absence of Information seekers.
Although in majority of the cases the Information even if given is delayed and as per the Act such delay attracts penalty clause, which is mandatory and even if the applicant is satisfied by the Information but if the same is given after delay then too it is mandatory for the Commission to issue show cause notice regarding the delay and only if the Commission is satisfied by the reason of reply, then and only then can it waive the penalty. This clause is the back bone of the Act and was inserted so that the Public Authorities take the Act seriously. In all the cases before the Commission it has not even issued show cause notices in even 5 % of cases (Out of about one dozen of my applications wherein I was never given the Information or if given, it was delayed by many many months and even a year, only on my insistence was show cause issued in only one case in which the PIO of PWD department fabricated back dated replies and when on my insistence he was asked to produce receipt of registry, they on 01-09-2008 produced a peon book in which the reply was shown to have been given at a address, which was not mine and even the Peon book was not original, a piece of plain paper was pasted on it and photocopied however the Noble and all knowing Information Commissioner Ram Saran Awasthee found nothing wrong in this forgery and did not impose penalty).
It is a common occurrence that in many cases, two complaints are registered on one application rendering both as illegal. This happens due to poor upkeep of applications/appeals. I had sent one Appeal on 23rd April 2008, in two copies, the receipt of the Appeal was recorded in the register on 23rd April, but the same was again recorded in fist week of May-2008 resulting in two appeals being registered on one application. The result was that I got intimation by ordinary post in one of the two Appeals . S-1-2406 ( C) /08 & fixing 1st July-2008 and went to attend the same on 1st of July-2008 in the Court of the Chief Commissioner Mr Khan , who happened to be absent, so attendance of the parties was recorded, My attendance was recorded and the date was given as 5th of August-2008, the PIO of the concerned department was absent. On 26th July I was shocked to receive a letter No.22009/SIC/08 dated-22-7-2007, which contained an order passed in Complaint No. S-1-2763 (C )/08 on 14-07-2008 passed by the Hon’ble Commissioner Mr S.C. Pandey in this letter I was informed that I had absented myself from the hearing on the 14th of July-2008 & the Opposite party was present and had told them that they had repeatedly asked me to deposit the Fee of Rs-682 for the Information, which I had failed o deposit & as such I was advised by the Commission to deposit the fee as required and get the information & 5th of August was fixed as the next date. I never got any intimation of the Complaint case No.S-1 2763 (C) /08 & thus had no occasion to attend the hearing.
Now the fact of the case was that in spite of the fact that by some mistake, two complaints had been registered on one Second Appeal & in spite of the fact that I was absent due to lack of knowledge, still, had the Hon’ble Commissioner taken care to read my Appeal, which was most concise, short & specific, he would have not passed such an order because the Appeal mainly was in protest about the demand of fee for Information which the Complainant could not be forced to pay for Information in view of Section-7-(6), read with Section-7-(5), as the Letter asking for it was dispatched by them much after the Statutory period of Section-7(1) & 7(3)(a).Thus the Information Commissioner S.C Pandey never bothered to read even a very short appeal filed by me resulting in more delay and complications.
Therefore for all practical purposes the RTI Act in U. P is dead and buried unceremoniously by the State Information Commission.

Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme or Household breaking Scheme

Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme or Household breaking Scheme
To-Shri Manmohan Singh Ji 19-08-2008
Prime Minister of India
New Delhi
Respected Sir:
1. THE NATIONAL RURAL EMPLOYMENT GUARANTEE ACT, 2005 NO. 42 OF 2005 presumably enacted for the laudable purpose of giving guaranteed employment to the rural poor may not achieve the primary objective but it will most certainly ensure that every Gram Pradhan will earn a few millions, and every Block Development Officer and other Government functionaries including the District Magistrates will most certainly add a few millions to their Bank balances.
2. What this Act will most certainly achieve will be to break up the Rural households and the joint family system prevailing for millions of years will be the casualty.
3. The Object of the Act provides:-
An Act to provide for the enhancement of livelihood security of the households in rural areas of the country by providing at least one hundred days of guaranteed wage employment in every financial year to every household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto.
4. Section-3 reads as below:-
3. Guarantee of rural employment to households.-(1) Save as otherwise provided, the State Government shall, in such rural area in the State as may be notified by the Central Government, provide to every household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work not less than one hundred days of such work in a financial year in accordance with the Scheme made under this Act.
5. The definition of “Household” is as below:-
(f) "household" means the members of a family related to each other by blood, marriage or adoption and normally residing together and sharing meals or holding a common ration card;
6. What this means is that if a Householder is living together with say
His three sons & their wives as well as his own minor children as well as
those of his sons then only one of the entire lot will be entitled to Employment Guarantee of hundred days and if the House hold breaks up and the Sons start living separately then at least four of the lot will be entitled. Now what will this do, is, either break up the family or force them to get separate ration cards, live together but lie about it and bribe the Pradhan and in short become a thief in the eyes of the Law. It is only due to these foolish legislations, which turn every body in India into a thief that I had named my Blog as “INDIA MANUFACTURER OF THIEVES”.
7. There is no effective provision in the Act to contain corruption, in fact there is no such
provision in any Legislation in India for this purpose as already written by me earlier “ It is
submitted that all legislation in India were based on the principle that those implementing it
will be absolutely fair & that is why most of the legislations are failing presently because the
implementing agencies are found to be wanting in honesty & fair play hence if any legislation in
India is to succeed then, while framing it, it should be kept in mind that the implementing
agency is most likely to be totally corrupt & therefore for this purpose necessary safeguards &
penal provisions foe very stringent punishment of the officers of the implementing Agency
have to be inbuilt in the legislation.
8. I suggest that a compulsory subject, in lieu of Mathematics, titled as “Social Audit” should be
inserted in the curriculum at High School and higher levels and the students (in groups)
should be taught, trained by experts & required to conduct Social Audits and verify the
various works executed by Government Agencies, including those executed under National
Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme so that a permanent Social Audit network is there in
place all over the Country. Engineering students should be compulsorily required to undertake
one year internship (like medical students), before getting the degree and during this period
they should render assistance by their expertise to the students of “Social Audit” subject in
their work of conducting of Social Audit & verification of Government works. IIT students
should similarly be asked to do the Social Audit of high value Government works, like Roads
Construction etc so that corruption in these works may be curtailed.
I therefore request you to make the necessary change in the definition of the word "household" in the THE NATIONAL RURAL EMPLOYMENT GUARANTEE ACT, 2005 NO. 42 OF 2005 so that it does not lead to breaking up the Households or to converting millions more (poor rural citizens), to the already a very large community of Liers & thieves which we, Indians already are.
Thanking You
Yours Sincerely
(Robby Sharma)

agency is most likely to be totally corrupt & therefore for this purpose necessary safeguards &
penal provisions foe very stringent punishment of the officers of the implementing Agency
have to be inbuilt in the legislation.
8. I suggest that a compulsory subject, in lieu of Mathematics, titled as “Social Audit” should be
inserted in the curriculum at High School and higher levels and the students (in groups)
should be taught, trained by experts & required to conduct Social Audits and verify the
various works executed by Government Agencies, including those executed under National
Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme so that a permanent Social Audit network is there in
place all over the Country. Engineering students should be compulsorily required to undertake
one year internship (like medical students), before getting the degree and during this period
they should render assistance by their expertise to the students of “Social Audit” subject in
their work of conducting of Social Audit & verification of Government works. IIT students
should similarly be asked to do the Social Audit of high value Government works, like Roads
Construction etc so that corruption in these works may be curtailed.
I therefore request you to make the necessary change in the definition of the word "household" in the THE NATIONAL RURAL EMPLOYMENT GUARANTEE ACT, 2005 NO. 42 OF 2005 so that it does not lead to breaking up the Households or to converting millions more (poor rural citizens), to the already a very large community of Liers & thieves which we, Indians already are.
Thanking You
Yours Sincerely

Global Warming-Coal & Oil Extraction are they related
Global warming- Coal & Oil extraction –are they related
During the last about hundred years trillions & trillions of tonnes of Coal & Oil have been extracted from the bowels of the Earth. Both these are black & black color everybody knows absorbs heat. With the extraction of these black elements from the Earth, there is bound to be some affect on the heat absorption capacity of the Earth, the question is how much has it contributed, if any, to the Global warming. Will somebody please enlighten me on this aspect ?
