[www.keralites.net] SHOULD WE LET RELIGION DUMPED ON US

 

DEAR ALL,


How often do most of us make the mistake of labelling a person a Hindu/ Muslim/ Christian etcetera, based on his name? Perhaps, we do so every other day. The moment a persons name is mentioned, most people start identifying him with the generalized characteristics of his community-background and take it for granted that he follows the dictates of what they consider to be his religion.

Does a doctor-couples son automatically become a doctor? Obviously, he does not; he becomes one only if he decides to be so, works hard, becomes qualified and practises that profession. He may very well choose to be a business-person. The same logic applies to religion, something even more personal than profession. A person may or may not practise his parents religion (or any religion) and he certainly cannot be held responsible for the name his parents have given him.

Thus, it is only common-sense, not rocket-science, that a persons natal-background is not synonymous to his beliefs or ideology. No one is born with either Hindu-chromosomes or Muslim-DNA or Christian-genes or any such thing. Yet, out of sheer habit or thoughtlessness, most people do the labelling, perhaps unaware of how insensitively they are behaving, all the more so if the person they are identifying in terms of religion, is secular in belief or has non-denominational faith.

Thousands of years ago, in India, on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, a voice was heard:

Sarva dharmaan parittyajya

That voice resonates in the hearts and minds of some select-people, who (regardless of the communities into which they have been born), belief and practise what the owner of the voice has said. Would it not be unfair to put religion-based labels on such people?

[www.keralites.net] Impose President's rule in the country, says Shiv Sena

 

Impose President's rule in the country, says Shiv Sena

Mumbai, Aug 23 (IANS) President's rule should be imposed in the country as the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government has been unable to control the anti-corruption movement led by Anna Hazare, Shiv Sena Chief Bal Thackeray Tuesday said.
'Recently, Bharatiya Janata Party leader L.K. Advani had advised Prime Minister (PM) Manmohan Singh to tender his resignation. However, since the entire government has been tainted, only the PM's resignation is not enough - the government must go,' Thackeray said in an editorial in the Shiv Sena's eveninger mouthpiece Dopahar Ka Saamna edited by him.
Hazare's fast for a stronger Lokpal bill that began Aug 16, continued for the eighth day Tuesday.
'The only solution is to impose president's rule in the country and this useless (UPA) government should be given the sack. In its place, a government 'with character' should be installed which can ensure the country's security,' Thackeray added. Under the constitution, there is no provision for imposing president's rule at the centre.
Thackeray also lashed out at prominent members of Hazare's team like Kiran Bedi and Arvind Kejriwal for 'their antics' before the media.
While Anna is fasting, Bedi and Kejriwal are feasting, he said.
'They make absurd statements like 'Anna in India, India is Anna',' Thackeray said, referring to Bedi's statement inspired by a similar remark 'Indira (Gandhi) is India, India is Indira' during the Emergency.
Hazare's agitation would end just as Gandhi's government fell in 1977 if he fails to rein in the 'shining brigade' of Bedi and others, Thackeray warned.
Hazare was taken to the Tihar Jail Aug 16 and released later in the evening -- but he refused to move out. He came out of the prison Aug 19 and has since continued his fast at Ramlila ground of New Delhi.

Re: Fwd: [www.keralites.net] Letter to Hazare

 

I have gone through the trailing mail.  I fully agree with Mr. Gangadharan Nair that the letter is highly generalized and lacks sincerity on the part of PM.  I feel pity for the poor old Sardarji who is being remote controlled.  Personally though I feel that he is a gentleman par excellence and his integrity can not be questioned.  As a PM he is totally a failure because PM has to take bold decisions in a time bound manner and the coterie around him does not allow him to do anything.   If politicians do not have any doubt about their own integrity and honesty, then why they fear being come under scrutiny of the people of India?  As the largest democracy in the world, I don't think that we lack any laws but the implementation or enforcement is the main problem we have.   The Anna Hazare episode shows that Indians have lost faith in politicians of any colour or creed.   They serve themselves and do not serve the people as they would like us believe.  It appears that not a single politician, be an old veteran or a young one like Jyotiraditya Scindia, Rajesh Pilot or the like want to support Anna or his team because they fear that their very existence as politicians are at stake.
 
I only pray that the momentum of the movement is sustained so as to force the powers that be to behave responsibly.

Not even a single word of sincerity of solving the problem or a sence of concern for the people
who has elected him to Power. Shameful. I never expected a gentleman of his calibre could
write such an illogical or unconcrened letter to Sri Anna Hazarre. He used some artificial
soothing words and finally giving a sence of feeling that I care two hoods for your non-violent
Satyagraha. I am prepared to face it. Is it the impression he should give to Sri Anna Hazarre

New Delhi: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, in an effort to resolve the Lokpal logjam, has written a letter to Anna Hazare. Full text of the Prime Minister's letter to Anna Hazare follows:

Over the last few days, I have watched with increasing concern the state of your health. Despite the differences between the Government and your team, I do not think that anybody is or should be in any doubt about the deep and abiding concern which I and our Government share about your health, arising from your continuing fast. I have no hesitation in saying that we need your views and actions in the service of the nation, from a robust physical condition and not in the context of frail or failing health.

I have maintained that your and our object is identical viz. to reduce significantly, if not eliminate, the scourge of corruption from this country. At worst, our paths and methodologies may differ, though I do believe that even those differences have been exaggerated. The Government is committed to passing a constitutionally valid and the best possible Lok Pal legislation with inputs from Civil Society with the broadest possible consensus. We are ready to talk to anybody. However, we will have to keep in mind Parliamentary supremacy and constitutional obligations in matters of legislation. As a Government we respect and are responsible to the Will of the Indian People as represented by Parliament.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, in an effort to resolve the Lokpal logjam, has written a letter to Anna Hazare.
Fun & Info @ Keralites.net


As you are aware, the Lok Pal bill is now before a Standing Committee of Parliament. I have made it clear earlier and would like to restate that all options are open before the Standing Committee. Undoubtedly, they would be entitled to consider, in detail and clause by clause, subject to their discretion, not only the Bill introduced by us but the Jan Lokpal Bill and other versions like those prepared by Ms. Aruna Roy. Equally, I do maintain that they are fully entitled to make any changes to the Bill introduced by the Govt. and referred to them. In that view of the matter, the formal non introduction of the Jan Lokpal Bill version by the government is irrelevant and would largely boil down to a semantic debate.

Nevertheless, in view of the concern repeatedly expressed by your team that the Jan Lokpal Bill version should be before Parliament, but more particularly and more importantly, in view of my deep and abiding concern for your health, our government is prepared to request the Speaker, Lok Sabha to formally refer the Jan Lokpal Bill also to the Standing Committee for their holistic consideration along with everything else. Furthermore, if you have any anxieties about time and speed, the Government can formally request the Standing Committee to try, subject to its discretion and the necessity to reflect deeply and spend adequate time on an important Bill, and fast track their deliberations to the extent reasonably feasible.

I would like to say that this letter and each suggestion herein is actuated solely by the twin considerations of deep and genuine concern about your health and the emergence of a strong and effective Lok Pal Act in accordance with established constitutional precept and practice.

I do hope that you will consider my suggestions and end your fast to regain full health and vitality.

RE: [www.keralites.net] QUESTION-WHY ONLY HINDU TEMPLES UNDER DEVASOM

 

Dear Mr. Sabu
 
I fully agree on to the History. Time has changed. No more of Kingship and we are depending on the majority Political Parties. Being a democratic country, it is time that we change the situation and that is why this question has come out. It should have been raised some years ago. But still I feel it is right time. There are lot of cases where the money received by the Devasom, no one knows where it is going. If we take the history and say that Chief Priest, Royal families, Feudal Lords, or nair Families have misappropriated the funds, then what is happening now is the same with the authorities and in fact it more now a days. Divide and Rule is the policy we should adopt in Democracy.  The Local Bodies/ wards/Panchayat should Govern the Temples.  Just because it is a devasom board, the money/charity coming has dropped al lot. If it is the Local Body people will know that the money will be used for the welfare of the Temple, then i am sure the charity flow will be more. Also think that the black money will also be diverted for such good cause.  The same case goes to churches and Mosque and see how they are doing this welfare fund for the locals.  If a rule is created how these local bodies should run by this charity fund, then they can used accordingly.  Just think in your Panchayat/ Ward how many people might require money for medical/education/ and other calamities. Don't you think that they can also be used for so many things in and around the temple. You will find a paradise in your Panchayat. You also should be aware the Policy where Once the King was ruling India, that the amount received 20% will be leaked but 80% will be there to spend. A Trust where senior citizens/retired people/ladies/Common people/the inmates etc except the Political Parties should be formed and set aside certain rules to abided.   Now here comes the Devasom to see that if all this are going right on certain fees for audit mutually agreed by the Trust and devasom.  Dont you think that this should adopted as soon as possible and relieve our Temples/God from the clutches of the Government, where they are using this amount for other purpose. Any Temple who does not want to form a trust they can be under Devasom. The choice to be given to the ward and its people. This subject goes more further with other peoples ideas and in put.  i feel certain and serious changes is required. Whenever a rule is created for a minority it should be for a certain period not for centuries. If so the minority will become majority.  
 
The whole country has changed, the values, the strength of money with the mass, no one is poor and it seems that the beggars can even donate. Old ways needs a change with the incoming of new generation and ideas, but also should take not to upset anybody and their culture.

Subject: Re: [www.keralites.net] QUESTION-WHY ONLY HINDU TEMPLES UNDER DEVASOM

 
Dear Mr.Vimal Nair

I think you have to study the Kerala history, to know why devaswam board ?
Also the so called Hindus and Hindu organisations are asking only about the wealthy temples, why?
There are lot of temples in Kerala is not under devaswm board there is even no "nithya pooja" etc because of no wealth and no one look after.

Please read the history below...

The system of forming Devaswoms is relatively new, a pratice started in late 17th century. Prior to that, most temples either had Brahmaswoms or Rajaswoms. In the Brahmaswomssystem, each temple and all of its assets are considered to be the private property of its chief priest, normally from Brahmin Nampoothiri families. Rajaswoms are where the properties belong to ruling feudal lords or Nair families or even small royal families. This system has created intense corruption as well as political rivalry, especially in case of Rajaswom ruled temples, thus losing sanctity. In many cases during wars, the rival army target the temples, as the opening of the temple gates to a rival army signals the defeat of ruling family.

Brahmaswoms were also challenged, on the grounds that many Nampoothiri families started misappropriating temple monies into personal funds which sometimes grew to rival that of the ruling families, which was considered a sign of arrogance and disrespect. With their great wealth some Nampoothiri families started meddling in politics, helping to decide who would be the next ruler by supporting one of the rival families.

The intense fragmentation of Kerala into small feudal states in 15th and 16th centuries caused Brahmaswoms and Rajaswoms to become more powerful, adding to political turmoils. In this sitution, powerful royal families like the Zamorins, the Cochin royal family, the Venad and others, decided to curb the growing powers of Brahmaswoms and Rajaswoms, through the formation of Devaswoms. These were perceived as neutral bodies, governed by a group of trustees who were elected or nominated by the state, but which could be changed by royal decree.

Samoothiri was one of the first rulers to implement this pratice, by curbing the powers of Malliserri Mana who ruled the Brahmaswom of Guruvayur. Samoothiri Raja Mana Vikram annexed the temple, declared it to be state property and appointed a body of trustees which included the Chief of Malliseeri Mana as well as other leading local Nampoothiri and Nair families. Many temples in Kozhikode followed suit.

When the political sovereignty of the Zamorin over Cochin ceased in 1762, the Cochin Maharaja started taking over most of the temples ruled by Nampoothiris and Nairs who had favoured the Zamorin. The immediate impact was the confiscation of properties at Yogaathiri (with Nampoothiri trustees) and Ooraalaars (Nair trustees), and the temples managed by them came under the administration of the state.

The most famous event of this kind was carried out by Sakthan Thampuran, when he beheaded the chief priest of the Nampoothiri oracle, who refused to accept his sovereignty over the famous Vadakkunnathan Temple. Most of the temples in the Cochin kingdom were annexed by the royal government during this period, and were handed over to newly-formed Devaswoms which accepted the ruler's sovereignty as well as allegiance to the deity.

The formation of Travancore itself can be attributed to the misuse of powers of the rajaswom of Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple by Ettuveetil Pillai, which attempted to overshadow the powers of reigning Venad king and his kingdom. This generated an opportunity to Marthanda Varma, who finally succeeded in curbing the Ettuveetil Pillai and completing the annexation of the temple, which in turn led to the formation of the Travancore kingdom.

Ever since then, Travancore governments have implemented a policy of slow yet steady annexations of private temples and their assets, and forming Devaswoms for each temple[citation needed].

Colonel Munroe, the British Resident, appointed in 1812 as Diwan of the Cochin and Travancore kingdoms, was responsible for bringing effective controls on temples. Munroe recommended that all Devaswom properties be treated as government properties and the revenue from Devaswom be merged with the general revenues of the state. In addition, for the purpose of meeting the expenses of the temples, Pathiv (that is, a scale of expenditure on uthsavams, remuneration to temple staff, maintenance charges etc.) was proposed. These recommendations were accepted by the maharajas of Cochin and Travancore. A committee was constituted to study its implications in 1815. During the reign of maharani Gowri Parvati Bayi in Travancore, a royal decree was passed forming a Devaswom Board, and most of the temples in Travancore were brought under its control. A few large temples preferred to remain independent, although they declared their allegiance to the Travancore Devaswom Board and assured it they would follow all of its policies.

In the Cchin kingdom, a special commission was appointed to study the formation of Devaswom boards. After a study of 309 Devaswoms, 179 Devaswoms in Cochin state were classified as Sarkkar Devaswoms. Sixty-one Devaswoms were returned to ooraalaars, and another sixty-one were classified as Vazhipaat Devaswoms. This was a major step by the state government, which resulted in the state's acquisition of temple lands and the power to interfere in temple administration. All 179 of these temples were known as 'incorporated Devaswoms' of which 24 were treated as Keezhetams (that is, subordinate to a more important temple). Subsequently, due either to mismanagement by Ooraalaars or under some other pretext, some more temples were taken over by the Sarkkar though their funds were kept separately. Each such Devaswom was called 'unincorporated Devaswom'. Under the Cochin Hindu Religious Institutions Act of 1896, the government took over the management of Devaswoms which had been mismanaged. Such institutions were called 'assumed Devaswoms'. In 1897 a separate Devaswom Department was formed under a superintendent and all incorporated and un-incorporated Devaswoms were brought under its control. Ten years later in 1907 these incorporated and un-incorporated Devaswoms were merged, and by a later amendment in 1916 a common trust fund was constituted as an endowment.

Both in Cochin and Travancore the head of the Department - hitherto known as superintendent - was re-designated as commissioner on 1st November 1926. Consequent on the integration of the princely states of Travancore and Cochin, the administration of Devaswoms in the Cochin State came under the Cochin Devaswom Board (CDB), constituted on 1st August 1949 under the articles of the covenant entered into by the rulers of Cochin and Travancore on 23rd June 1949. Both the groups of Devaswoms were brought under the Board, first by an ordinance and later by the Travancore – Cochin Hindu Religious Institutions Act of 1950. On 16th June 1950 the Board was reconstituted. Apart from those temples governed by the CDB, a large number of private temples (known as Ooraanma temples) exists. Those private temples, which get grants from various state-owned Devaswom Boards are also known as Vazhipaat Devaswoms.

 

As per Travancore-Cochin Hindu Religious Institutions Act-1950, State Government of Kerala is responsible managing all temples of Kerala, except owned by those private families and private boards, listed in official Covenant signed between Travancore Ruler and Indian Government in 1949. However being a secular government, Kerala Government, is not allowed to interfere directly into temple affairs, rather only Government appointed Devaswom officials and board as such are authorized to do so. As a law and convention, all devaswom board members as well as officials also have sworn allegiance to Hindu faith and sworn to prime deity of each Devaswom Board.

Kerala also have a Devaswom Minister, in charge of all Devaswom related affairs.

Dear Friends
 
Has any one thought about this. Is that why only Hindu Temples are under Devasom Board.  Why is that Kerala Government only concentrating only on Hindu Temples.  Why are they not having a board for Churches and Mosque. They have more money than a Temple.   Is this a  Government fear.  They know very well if they touch Churches and Mosque, they get there finger and body burnt.
Or is that they can say and do anything for the Hindus.  Is this because the Hindus are silent, broad minded and let them (Govt.) do what they want. Where is all the Organization of Hindus. Why are they keeping quiet.  The recent remark by the an ex authority shows that they can rebuke, make any remark, abuse, destroy the tradition of Hinduism. Our state is considered to be an educated state. Where is all the educated mass. The study shows that any Temple under Trust function properly and systematically than a Temple under devasom board. Do the Government think that Hindu Temple has got more money than a Church and Mosque. A human being is born without any religion.  Only the people has segregated this issue. This kind of apathy should be stopped by the Government. If they make a Board then this should be for all Or if they do not want any Board, then leave the Temples aside and leave it to the Trust.
 
Could anybody give an answer for all this.

നല്ല അസ്സലായി മലയാളം സംസാരിക്കുന്ന പെണ്‍കുട്ടികള്‍ നമ്മുടെ നാട്ടില്‍ ഉണ്ടായിട്ടും ഇത്തരം കുരച്ച് കുരച്ച് മലയാളം സംസാരിക്കുന്ന കൊച്ചു സുന്ദരിമാരെ തിരഞ്ഞെടുക്കുന്ന ചാനലുകരെയാണ്. എന്‍റെ കുട്ടിക്ക് മലയാളം എഴുതാന്‍ അറിയില്ല,മലയാളം വായിക്കാന്‍ അറിയില്ല എന്നൊക്കെ അഭിമാനത്തോടെ പറയുന്ന അച്ഛനമ്മമാര്‍ ജീവിക്കുന്ന കേരളത്തില്‍ രഞ്ജിനി ഹരിദാസ്‌ മലയാള ഭാഷയോട് ചെയ്യുന്നത് വലിയ ക്രൂരതയാണെന്ന് എനിക്ക് തോന്നുന്നില്ല. രണ്ജ്നി ഹരിദാസിനെ പോലെ ആകണമെന്ന് ആഗ്രഹിക്കുന്ന പെണ്‍കുട്ടികളും, തങ്ങളുടെ മകള്‍ രഞ്ജിനി ഹരിദാസിനെ പോലെ ആയെങ്കില്‍ എന്ന് കൊതിക്കുന്ന രക്ഷിതാക്കളും ഇല്ലാതില്ല. ഐ ടി കമ്പനികളില്‍ ജോലി ചെയ്യുകയും വിദേശത്ത് പോയി പഠിക്കുകയും മറ്റും ചെയ്ത രണ്ജിനിയെ കുറ്റം പറയുന്നവര്‍ വര്‍ഷങ്ങളോളം മലയാള സിനിമ സംഗീതത്തിന്റെ ഭാഗം ആയിരുന്നിട്ടും വാക്കുകള്‍ക്കിടയില്‍ ഇംഗ്ലീഷ് കുതിതിരുകുന്നഎം ജി ശ്രീകുമാറിനേയും മറ്റുംകണ്ടില്ലെന്നു നടിക്കരുത്..

Dont worry Renjini asianet viewers are with you they know exactly what you are doing and what is your talent .Some are like that they thinks they are great the viewers understand why Jagathy done such a dirty mouth exercise like that .We appreciate your ability to overcome such asituation and complete your job . In the past may be in the future sure you may experience something like that you should gain a power to ignore such persons commemds by a smile.I hope you are allready have that power I have seen in many occations how you simply manage things .only thing i have to suggest the organaisers to avoid such persons in future to avoid irritation to the audience

ഒന്ന് ചുമ്മാതിരി മിസ്റ്റര്‍ ശിവന്‍ പിള്ളൈ...ജഗതി ഒരു തരത്തിലും അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ പരിധി ല൦ ഘിച്ചിട്ടില്ല.രഞ്ജിനി അര്‍ഹിക്കുന്നത് പോലും അവള്‍ക്കു കൊടുത്തില്ല എന്നതാണ് വാസ്തവം.ഇന്ന് ഈ കേരളത്തിലെ ടെലിവിഷന്‍ പ്രേക്ഷകര്‍ക്ക്‌ 90% ആളുകള്‍ക്കും ഇതേ അഭിപ്രായമായിരിക്കും.
ഇത് വെറുതെ പറയുന്നതല്ല.ഫേസ് ബുക്ക്‌ ,ഓര്‍ക്കുട്ട് പോലെയുള്ള സൌഹൃത കൂട്ടായ്മയില്‍ പ്രചരിക്കുന്ന കമന്റുകള്‍ ശ്രദ്ധയോടെ നോക്കിയാല്‍ അത് മനസിലാകും...നമുക്ക് ഒരാളോടുള്ള ഇഷ്ടം അയാളുടെ എല്ലാ പ്രവര്‍ത്തികളും ന്യായീകരിക്കാന്‍ ഉള്ളതാകരുത്.......................

Renjini also have the same right to express her feelings.
Why U worry Mr.joseph. I never a supporter or a regular viewer of this 'Idea star singer",& one of the reason is anchoring style, but in my opinion
Sri jagathy crossed the limit or over! First he expressed the real & meaningful
Draw back of her anchoring, upto that it can be taken as an opinion of well respected & More over experienced person, but after he try to personally insult "Her".
I hope even women activities can also express their vision on it.. In my opinion his attitude was Simply "nonsense" & can be avoided, because he not only blamed / insulted Ranjini, but also other celebrity Judges who are attended or attending in that (idea star singer or any reality shows) type of shows, note this they are also Equally or more respectable or talented & experienced in their field….
I hope most of the people who thinks in a reasonable way agree with me..!
Thanks

here may be people who support your view as the popular saying says:There are two view points even ones own mother is attacked.
But let us remind you,not only Jagthy has this opinion,a huge majority in Kerala public has the same opinion.Jagathy was just expressing the
opinion of many keralites who think so.Understand yourself,you are not a person who has contributed significantly to the development or progress of any thing in Kerala.Where as Jagathy is not that. Am not an adamant supporter of Jagthy in any way but simply likes his acting,but know nothing about his personal life.Havnt you noticed,through out the speech,the complete audience was supporting and in a way agreeing with him. The same speech was recieved with great applauds.What does it mean? It indicates to even a fool that they all had the same opinion.
 
You must understand the fact that you are a damn irritating ആന്‍ഡ്‌ boring in the art of anchoring.Its only because,i cannot tolerate your nasty presentation ,I personally dont see any of the programmes you anchor.ITS ONLY MY POINT OF VIEW.
ഒരു കാര്യം സ്വന്തം മലയാള ഭാഷയില്‍ പറയാം: ഇന്നലത്തെ മഴയില്‍ മുളച്ച വെറും തകര ചെടികള്‍,ഒരു വൃക്ഷതോട് കലഹിക്കുന്നത് പോലെയേ തോന്നുന്നുള്ളൂ താങ്ങളുടെ ഈ മൂനാംകിട പരദൂഷണ പേപ്പറില്‍ വന്ന ലേഘനം...Hei Lady Ranjiny Haridas, T.
