Isn't it amazing that a promoter of Hindutva refers to the West to justify the rightness of his creed? Furthermore, I wonder what is the level of audience of "Shri Shri Ravisankar of Art of living" in the West. Finally, the proportion of na�ve and psychologically vulnerable people is the same all over the world : so you will always expect some American or European to be fooled by one of the innumerable sects, pseudo-religio-commercial ventures and charlatans which pretend to solve all kind of problems with cheap ideologies. The popular newspapers advertisment sections are full of them.
Human regards,

God! What's happening, cries CJI
TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2004 12:01:37 AM ]
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday witnessed a bizarre spectacle of the
Chief Justice of India candidly confessing that he did not have the power
to curb the corruption rampant in the lower judiciary.
"Give some powers to the Chief Justice.What powers does the Chief Justice
of India have? Despite repeated requests, nothing has been done. How do I
control the situation and how much can be done to control such situations
by passing orders on the judicial side? You (the government) do not know
with how much difficulty I secured the resignation of the two high court
judges earlier."
Justice V.N. Khare's outburst came in the wake of the Gujarat
'cash-for-warrants' case�"in which a magistrate was found doling out
arrest warrants for a petty payment�"and the second CBI report confirming
not only this racket but admitting to similar abuse of judicial powers
elsewhere in the country.
A bench of CJI Khare and Justice S.H. Kapadia said: "We have to break this
nexus.We must break it." Justice Khare's lament comes at a time when an
increasing number of people are looking to the judiciary for reining in
errant politicians and other government fuctionaries.
His cry for more powers obviously indicates the limits to its influence,
especially in his own backyard. The case that provoked the CJI's outburst
concerns an Ahmedabad magistrate, who took a bribe of Rs 40,000 to issue
warrants against President Abdul Kalam, CJI Khare, Justice B.P. Singh and
former president of the Supreme Court bar association R.K. Jain.
The magistrate was caught on camera in a journalistic sting operation,
triggering outrage and bringing Justice Khare into the picture. "My
God..what is happening?" CJI Khare remarked after perusing the CBI's status
report. The court described the incident as an "eye-opener" and expressed
its determination to demolish what the CJI called a "nexus".
He said he would soon convene a meeting of the chief justices of all the
high courts to establish an internal vigilance system on judges. On
journalist Vijay Shekhar's petition, the court has already initiated action
against three lawyers and suspended magistrateM. S. Brahmabhatt.

Dear Readers, Amongst many of Assamese, recently the perception about Hindutva is changing. This change is gradual, but recently at the eve of election, we can see a dramatic rise in a good perception about Hindutva amongst masses, mainly in Northern, central and eastern assam. People are realising that Hindutva means development and growth of our culture, our economy, and overeall increase in strength of our people around the world. Since, most of you guy live in abroad, please let us know if you are also feeling a change in perception about Hindutva in your mind. best regards, Bikram

Hi,
Today my fellow netters in the cybercafe must be wondering why I'm clicking away at break-neck speed -without bothering to read any mail. I'm opening the following site and refreshing it again and again --to make sure it gets the maximum number of hits --to come on top of the Google search.
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg07622.html
The mail above is self explanatory.
I've tried everything to to remove an earlier confusing mail from Assamlist's archives -but it seems there is no option for deleting old messages.
So the second way out - is to make sure my corrigendum (the above link) catches the eye of all concerned.
The webmasters of the mail-archive.com are unavailable for any communication in regard to deletion of archived messages.
Please help me --by accessing the above mentioned link --so that it gets the maximum number of hits --and comes on top in yahoo and google searches .
Thank you.
Umesh

well,
I'm in India--but I believe u have a namesake in USA --who is bringing a very bad name to a very Hindu product -Yoga - by charging licensing/franchisee fee --for something he teaches in the name of Yoga.
Similarly, what Dara Singh and Modi have allegedly been doing against people of other faiths can hardly bring glory to Hinduism. I do not care about Hindutva --perhaps a recent phenomenon --but I do care about my being a Hindu. And I wish that all Hindus , wherever they might be -in India or abroad --should have proper info about their faith-which is lacking to most NRIs (and/or NRAs)
