Myanmar – Rohingya Muslims Plight

Myanmar – Rohingya Muslims Plight

Padmini Arhant

Anytime a nation’s minority group experience isolation, persecution and human rights violations, that nation’s leaderships and government are in spotlight. Myanmar has been systematically involved in expelling Burmese born citizens of ethnic origin despite them being the second and third generation since the country was taken over by military junta through coup d’état, in the early sixties in the past century.

The military reining control over key resources like natural gas, precious metals and minerals with deals struck between them and western energy behemoths as well as emerging economic power viz. China care less about humanitarian problems and remain focused on respective economic goals.

On the other hand, Myanmar’s military rule having accommodated western backed candidate and Nobel Peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi’s leadership and political party representation in a quasi democratic setting designed to convince the world on Myanmar’s desire towards political evolution and possible democratic environment has interestingly found a partner with similar sentiments in the wake of brutalities against Myanmar’s ethnic demography, the Rohingya Muslims.

Above all, the western leaderships and Britain in particular with the incumbent Prime Minister Theresa May recently calling out India on the treatment of minorities while ignoring the blatant violations and genocide of Rohingyas in Myanmar explains the political nature of selective empathy in humanitarian issues rather than applying one standard i.e. the golden rule on human rights abuse anywhere.

Notwithstanding the imperialists responsible for wiping civilizations and pioneering prejudice in the divide and conquer strategy until today owe an apology to victims families and the descendants besides reparation costs for depleting resources and exploiting human capital in various colonies around the world.

The western backed Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi’s stance on this issue not only as a government representative and authority but also as a Nobel peace prize recipient confirms political expediency over humanitarian affairs demanding fairness, justice and equality in any society regardless of political system in place.

The Rohingyas conditions in Myanmar is parallel to Sri Lankan Tamils in Sri Lanka and subsequent summary execution of civilians especially the youth targeted by then Sri Lankan government. The systemic killings carried out not without regional and international i.e. India and United States support in 2009. Additionally, to facilitate the massacre, the UN peace keeping corps was withdrawn at critical juncture abandoning the pleading Sri Lankan Tamils entirely at the mercy of the former Commander in Chief and President Mahinda Rajapaksha authorized merciless killing of unarmed Tamil civilians in the island nation.

With no condemnation on Sri Lankan air raids and shelling, the Sri Lankan government’s actions barely noticed by the UN Security Council that otherwise never miss an opportunity to impose economic sanctions against the favorite adversaries like North Korea, Venezuela and alike citing human rights issues together with nations earmarked for alienation and trade embargo.

The ethnic cleansing in Myanmar by radicals that should have been prevented at onset is reprehensible. As such nations regardless of political structure are obligatory to guarantee safety and security of all citizens nationwide prohibiting discrimination and disenfranchisement.

In fact, when every nation is expected to provide the same safety measures to tourists, visitors and business travelers from overseas and safeguard them from any harm during their visit to any country,

It is incomprehensible to witness the unruly conduct and hostility against Rohingyas – one of the many ethnic groups in Myanmar.

Myanmar’s government slighting responsibility in defending the particular ethnic minority from genocide leaving them with no choice but to flee the nation offshore only to be turned down by neighboring states across the border or alternatively preyed upon by predators like human traffickers and criminal agents to abuse them for their illicit commercial trade is unacceptable. The activities could only be described as callousness on those responsible for the tragic yet avoidable humanitarian disaster.

Myanmar is not alien to ethnic diversity. In fact, there are at least one hundred and thirty five ethnic groups and Rohingyas are one of them. Among these members, the major ethnic races representing Burmese society viz. Karen, Kayin, Kayah, Bamar, Karenni, Shan, Mon, Wa, Rakhine, Palaung, Chin, Kachin and Kokang to name a few are well known in the spectrum. The segregation of a single ethnic segment, the Rohingyas denying them statehood and citizenship is a national default.

Again, the incumbent leadership Aung San Suu Kyi as the State Counsellor equivalent to Prime Minister post choosing to remain oblivious and worst failing to recognize the assault and expulsion of Rohingyas as violent and undemocratic event is extremely disappointing and deeply regrettable.

Whatever the reasons might be behind such complicity, the lack of humanitarian concern from Myanmar’s authorities and especially a Nobel Peace Prize awardee reflects poorly on individual basis and those favoring them in the international domain.

Likewise, the out of control situation in this instance towards Rohingya Muslims also raise questions about Islamic nations complacency and silence to the exclusion and expatriation of population belonging to their faith with no initiatives and pressure on western counterparts involved in economic and strategic partnerships explains the trend in humanitarian matter.

Rohingyas belong to Myanmar and ousting them using aggression and inhumane standards does not bode well for a country aspiring to be democratic and tolerant in the efforts towards political and economic development.

No nation’s progress could be real and legitimate until the people of different sect, class, gender and social paradigms possess equal rights and opportunity without being threatened in maintaining their relevant cultural heritage. Inappropriately, the definition of progress is entirely tied to economic growth, modern infrastructure and foreign investments alongside neglecting social inequality or participating in elimination of certain ethnic denomination with generational legacy.

The other tradition during racial, sectarian and communal unrest in any society is using religion as the pawn for political and fundamental cause. The practice to tarnish religions is aimed at further discord and chaos within community and the world at large. Any followers of sacred religions would refrain from unholy indulgence and strive hard to exemplify peaceful and positive traits through genuine commitment and disposition not performing for camera and audience to win superficial credit.

Nonetheless, there should be no misconception on the established truth the elements using religion to advance personal and vested interests invariably meet their fateful outcome in the end justifying the means serving as precedence to deter future engagement.

In conclusion, Rohingyas and people from anywhere confronted with synonymous plight deserve to be respected and accepted barring social indignation and injustice. Rohingyas are part of mainstream population in Myanmar and forceful deportation from their domicile is against the norm in political, social, humanitarian, ethical and practical sense.

Moving forward the restoration and rehabilitation of Rohingyas and others sharing the dilemma in Myanmar is absolutely necessary and important for the authorities in Myanmar and abroad to sustain fragile peace and stability in the South Asian and Southeast Asian region.

Thank you.

Australia – Human Rights Issues

Australia – Human Rights Issues

Padmini Arhant

Congratulations! Australia on legalizing same sex marriage.

Similarly, addressing the following human rights problems would be significant considering Australia’s economy and stability in Asia Pacific is largely dependent on immigrants contribution.

The tolerance to diversity and acceptance of multiculturalism providing equal opportunity to immigrants, minorities and importantly indigenous people down under would be mutually beneficial.

Accordingly,

1. Stopping hate crimes against immigrants of color.

2. Referendum on recognition of Australia’s native population Aborigines as the first people protecting them from prejudice and human rights violations especially preventing Aborigine youth deaths in prison cells that are barely reported in the news media.

Last but not the least,

3. Vote on Australia’s transformation to republic from the current common wealth status pledging allegiance to British monarchy expending Australian tax dollars to safeguard Royalty.

These measures would by far confirm Australia’s commitment to real democracy and human rights issues.

Thank you.

Humanitarian Issue – Northern California Wildfire Devastation

Humanitarian Issue – Northern California Wildfire Devastation

Padmini Arhant

The past weekend wildfire in Napa Valley, the wine country in Northern California affecting four counties devastated lives in that area. The fire engulfing structures, barns, cattle farm and everything it came in contact with in fleeting moments forcing people to flee for their life is tragic.

Although the cause is not known in detail, the destruction is catastrophic. When events like these happen in the form of hurricane, ravaging fire and earth shattering earthquake, life is reminded as fickle and unpredictable. As for nature’s act the wrath is tremendous and beyond human ability to gauge intensity.

During crises, human sentiments among concerned citizens and rescue team often rise to the occasion in reaching out to those in danger. The responsibility shared among people and firefighters as well as emergency crew is laudable. The state authority beginning with California Governor Jerry Brown mobilizing national guard assistance and all the way to the front line members response are valuable in saving lives and containing massive losses in the incident.

Hopefully, the insurance industry would do all required on their part providing necessary attention in restoring homes and lives to citizens some of whom understandably are in shock and dismay.

I convey my wishes to fellow Californians for strength and courage in dealing with extraordinary time of their life.  I have the victims and families mourning the loss of their loved ones in my thoughts and prayers for speedy recovery.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

United States – Congress Resolution 49

September 14, 2017

United States – Congress Resolution 49

Padmini Arhant

Congress passing resolution 49 unanimously condemning racism and anti-semitism related to Charlottesville incident that was signed and sealed might demonstrate solidarity.

However, the belief that all are created equal by one almighty God exemplified in deeds would be solemn and credible.

How about pledging and acting on the following to verify sincerity?

1. Thou shall not authorize or remain oblivious to racial profiling of law abiding citizens with exemplary civil conduct at the United States airport under national security pretext and rough handling for reasons beyond justification.

2. Thou shall not remain complicit to killing of more than three thousand Americans at home on 9/11 and thereafter several thousands of innocent children, women and men in foreign land. Accordingly, bring all those responsible for dereliction of duty and deliberate involvement not barring the so-called allies to justice proving none are above the law. 

3. Thou shall not grant immunity to the powerful, famous and influential despite their criminal record on the loss of civilian lives and career diplomats as well as intelligence personnel like the Benghazi gate. 

4. Thou shall not sponsor terrorism. Hence indict those who authorized use of terror and predator drones beginning from the top to bottom against citizens of foreign nation who meant no harm to the United States and citizens.

5. Thou shall not indulge in provocative activities on foreign shores subjecting citizens of those nations to unnecessary tensions and potential nuclear confrontation.

6. Thou shall not force population into starvation via illegitimate economic sanctions while ignoring own human rights record and belligerence that has never been held accountable thus far.

7. Thou shall do away with UNSC and self-granted veto power to subjugate nations regarded weak and vulnerable.

8. Thou shall respect others liberty and rights to equal opportunity and refrain from illegal surveillance and invasion of privacy.

9. Thou shall renounce secrecy and condemn the Secret Society barring secret meetings in the United States or anywhere in the world. 

10. Thou shall deceive none and disavow targeted demonization, character defamation, vicious propaganda, misrepresentation, condescendence and contemptuous engagement.

The allegiance pledged to the flag with stars and stripes representing one nation under God – that God vehemently opposes all of the above characteristics and tradition that is the status quo.

God never approves preferential treatment of some and discrimination towards others to be the norm. Such convention is man made in defiance of human values, ethics and democratic principle misleading self and the rest of the world.

The adherence in transcending race, religion and socioeconomic background across the spectrum would demonstrate acceptance and acknowledgment of people as human beings, treating them with respect that is expected from others.

Unity, civility and equality make any society civilized and respectable.

Thank you.

World – Cause and Contradictions

By Padmini Arhant

The events related to any specific cause would be motivating provided there are no contradictions in the recent past or present.

Protests are organized for attention and generate reaction one way or another to affirm statements and sentiments on any issue.

Today the women’s march in the United States Capital spreading around the globe could be the headlines in news media.

However, the grim reality is not only women’s rights, civil liberty infringement among many other serious human rights violations remain the norm with powerful forces reining control over world resources and human capital resist any change to status quo.

The racial profiling in the United States and elsewhere and harassment by security agents especially women on duty in airports in India asserting improper approach and body search against general conduct is the consequence of misguided law and order. Again those who impose these practices as authority being exempt from these uncivil treatment due to the hierarchy as VIP and VVIP, they care less about the agents’ inappropriate demeanor.

When beneficiaries are accustomed to system serving them and their benefits only, any possible shift is unacceptable to them.

As a reminder to protesters worldwide on women’s rights, when prominent media like BBC hires a woman film maker to subvert facts and portray the Delhi (Indian) gang rape victim at fault and make a movie for profitability and propaganda then that speaks volume of complicity amongst women folks in such involvement.

Not to mention the nation and self-classified privileged in Indian society denying the rape victim’s family plea to refer to her by her real name unlike the one assigned Nirbhaya to further incriminate the victim in this case. Such tactics are intentional and the worst is the deplorable gesture justified as empathy towards victim.

Similarly, the entertainment industry having become the major tool and medium besides literary field under the guise of fiction are constantly engaged in tarnishing image of anyone they disapprove for standing up to elements responsible for political disorder, corruption, social and economic inequality.

The strategy to hide behind fiction with a disclaimer on movies and publications while declaring the characters to be enactment of living entity verifies the profiteers lack of courage and integrity together with credibility not necessarily an important factor to them. The collusion on unscrupulousness is evidently irrefutable.

Although false and fabricated negative depictions in films and available media format regarded just and sold as entertainment under fiction banner, the daring truthful  speech shedding light on reality and experience substantiating facts is dismissed as hate rhetoric.

In other words, there is little or no tolerance to truth and factual presentations as the trend is misinformation, deception and distortion misleading the world on the pretext of liberal, progressive and humanitarian cause.

The same is played out as conservatives described as nationalists with extreme views on women, other gender, immigrants, natives and so on leading to flip flopping to suit agenda.

Apparently, anything goes in the fervor to protect dysfunctional structure exploiting every opportunity to convince mass on the obviously flawed pursuits, policy and decision making process.

The matter deserving focus are the demonstrations like Occupy Wall Street and dissent to NATO operations resulting in destruction of lives and countries quelled using violent means showing utter disrespect for basic right on peaceful assembly and freedom of speech.

Likewise, EU in conjunction with ECB, IMF and World Bank contributing to economic mayhem and disparity. UN with UNSC as unipolar body functioning as ultimate authority authorizing military interventions and arbitrary dealings harming rather than helping the population are some key challenges among many confronting humanity.

Any protests against these organizations and their rules are met with aggression and undemocratic measures to undermine legitimate concern.

Anytime the powerful and behind the scenes operatives aim to arouse public anxiety in the manufactured setting, the ploy has inevitable reverse effect.

The dismantling of power concentrated amongst the few exerting dominance as prerogative would essentially emancipate all beings enduring discrimination and isolation.

Finally, the display objects such as the bust of political figures or leaders in the oval office substituting one for another upon exit and entry of the appointees might be an individual choice.

Nonetheless, the White House representing the executive branch for the nation permanently housing foreign leadership viz. Britain’s former Prime Minister Winston Churchill sculpture ignoring many honorable American patriots is a contradiction to the celebration of United States independence on July 4th and proclamation of sovereignty free from allegiance to crown and extraneous body.

Cause with contradictions pose conflict of interests.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

India – Floods Exacerbate Common Citizens Plight in Tamil Nadu

December 10, 2015

By Padmini Arhant

The unprecedented rainfall in the southern state Tamil Nadu with capital Chennai and other districts experiencing excess rise in water level face challenges in retaining regular activity.

In any natural hazards, the average citizens are worst affected due to authorities lack of preparedness and evacuation programs combined with poorly developed drainage and sewage systems contributing to the problem.

The residents in low lying areas unable to prevent water flow inside their homes could have benefitted from proper development to channel rainwater away from the residence with underground canal.

The building code incorporating construction and maintenance of appropriate trough would have eased the situation for people forced to leave their premise.

Cities marooned in heavy monsoon are at stake in the aftermath with the outbreak of disease and breakdown of essential supply chain exacerbating citizens suffering.

Again the Indian news report on the private hospital losing 14 patients in ICU in Chennai from power failure cutting off oxygen source is a tragedy that could have been avoided with alternative mechanism as constant energy provision.

Human tendency to react after mishap rather than making proper arrangements for untimely disasters is the revealing feature.

The readiness and safety measures is ongoing requirement to mitigate losses and cannot be differed or neglected clarifying miscalculated crisis management.

The hard lessons impose necessary tasks on government and private industry with real estate in particular to focus on town planning and development comprising robust structures and fall back options to alleviate environment woes and malfunction of critical facility.

Meanwhile, the Indian Navy, Air Force and coastal guards’ relief operations efforts proved dependable.

The citizenry in Tamil Nadu – the youth volunteers outreach to stranded victims and families exemplify human spirit in the hour of needs and emergency worthy of emulation.

Collective actions reduce the burden on the vulnerable and economically deprived citizens at any time although the bulk of responsibility remains with government and political class in addressing acute to minor issues on public services and state governance that controls civic coordination.

The poor and marginalized sections in society sharing their disappointment in the political leadership and other members of establishment for having ignored them despite severe conditions is regrettable.

The grieving citizens account on political domain apathy is yet another dilemma. The routine gesture with voters remembered at the election onset and subsequently slighted as distraction from usual business prioritize personal and vested interests in the position of power.

Hopefully the fund allocation towards flood zones would be made available to the people and major cash distribution expended in the repair and restoration of towns and cities with protective and risk deterrent methods in place.

I offer my condolence to mournful and wish for recovery to normalcy in Tamil Nadu.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

PadminiArhant.com – Vishwa Kalyan Award 2015

September 6, 2015

By Padmini Arhant

 

Vishwa Kalyan Award 2015

Dear Citizens,

I invite you to virtual award ceremony conforming to Kalki avatar premised on information technology and pervasive accessibility. The concept is unique unlike conventional practice.  

The journey via information highway is not only convenient but also favorable to environment  in terms of carbon trail released in air travel.

There is yet another difference in the award strategy.

The tradition with global awards is recipients are granted specific cash prize as individual monetary reward.

Vishwa Kalyan Award (VKA) for easy reference which means Universal Benefit Award with divine blessings provides necessary assistance through campaign and advocacy on global platform seeking donors and benefactors in achieving targeted goals enabling all to be winners – the people they are serving in particular in the collective responsibility.

Having clarified in that regard, the winners are informed that they will receive award with commemorative inscription in their honor delivered to their authorized address.

Since the selected individuals and organizations also require volunteers with relevant expertise and mostly genuine concern expressed in kindness towards beneficiaries of extraordinary mission,

The pledge to assist these humanitarian projects is essentially sharing opportunity to serve humanity.

Accordingly, I kindly request the generous global citizens across the spectrum to come forward and donate any amounts to splendid cause and be a part of solution to problems facing humanity.

You can sponsor a project, donate items like clothing, books and goods that are necessary to run mercy homes for children and needy citizens in society. You could become a parent to a child as the provider by remaining in your domain.

The issues recognized this year are – Health and Environment.

The articles on Health and Health related challenges and similarly environment woes with necessary resolutions were published recently for global attention and awareness on these critical issues.

In this segment – I begin with Health and General Well Being and subsequently ending with environment awards in the week.

The most impressive attribute about these organizations are their focus on women empowerment and outreach to citizens in farthest corners of the world.

Organizing events are not always effortless especially when you are attempting to break conventions and strive for best possible effects in delivery.  I realized the constraints in the course of preparing the virtual award function.  Nonetheless the process facilitated creativity and desire to explore dormant skills within that otherwise wasted defeating life purpose.

Let us begin the event.

With great admiration and gratitude towards every one of these caring members – I, Padmini Arhant representative divine mission, author and presenter PadminiArhant.com thank them for exemplary work in humanitarian struggle.

Dear Citizens,

In the contemporary era power and prominence are patented and claimed as exclusive league entitlements barring others in the hall of fame notwithstanding patent rights set expiry date. The competitiveness attributed to narcissism forbid formidable talents in the international arena.

The current trend is perhaps due to lingering insecurity and obsession with dominance despite termination of all things including inanimate objects imminent in natural law.

However, there are people world over performing altruistic tasks for years and remain active in delivering desirable outcome.

Natural creation has seasons for a reason.  The perennial state of fall (autumn) or winter prohibiting spring and summer not viable for ecological harmony with serious impact on life all around.

The necessity for change more appropriate with anything that is destructive and deny new beginning and opportunity to all.

On August 26th, I made a public statement regarding recognition of issues and significant contributions to humanity especially by unsung individuals and organizations for inspiring and inculcating innovative ideas and peaceful strategies towards positive development.

Accordingly, I present the finalists for their outstanding service exemplifying selfless dedication and sincere commitment to save lives transforming hope into reality.

The award is titled Vishwa Kalyaan or Universal Benefit Award and recipients are chosen based on results in the respective endeavor.

The focus is on unsung contributors pledging lifetime devotion to forgotten and in some cases deserted citizens as well as neglected species on the planet. The honor will be conferred upon suitable entity on August 26th every year.

Unlike conventional awards with specific cash prize, Vishwa Kalyaan or  Universal Benefit Award provides necessary support through campaign and advocacy on global platform seeking donors and benefactors in achieving targeted goals enabling all to be winners – the people they are serving in particular in the collective responsibility.

The selected individuals and organizations also require volunteers with relevant expertise and mostly genuine concern expressed in kindness towards beneficiaries of extraordinary mission.

Since the concept was introduced this year i.e. 2015, the names are revealed right now with environment topic and groups accorded for the coveted accolade in that category to follow this week and made official on the weekend of September 5th, 2015 Lord Krishna’s birth celebration.

In the meantime, the generous global citizens across the spectrum are urged to come forward and donate any amounts to splendid cause and be a part of solution to problems facing humanity.

The issues recognized this year are – Health and Environment.

The article on Health and Health related challenges was published on this site on August 27, 2015.

Health is critical for survival and overall wellness determined by physical, mental and emotional balance in life. Health is linked with environment and healthy atmosphere i.e. fresh air, clean water and hygiene facilitates good living conditions free from preventable disease.

Another essential source for existence is nutritious food. Organic produce without chemicals and meat excluding growth hormones, genetically modified organisms (GMO) or cooking oil with zero trans fat are quintessential in daily diet.

In this segment – I begin with Health and General Well Being and subsequently ending with environment in the week.

With great admiration and gratitude for every one of these caring members – I, Padmini Arhant representative divine mission, author and presenter PadminiArhant.com would like to thank them for exemplary work in humanitarian struggle.

I invite you on virtual tour in this presentation. You do not need passports, visa, travelers check and even better no selective frisking or profiling under the guise of security on this exciting trip.

Virtual travel to the Foothills of Himalayas viz. Nepal and Tibet.

Both nations are yet to experience political freedom and stability with Maoists infiltration in Nepal and China’s invasion and occupation of Tibet since 1959.

Universal Health Care is considered a privilege rather than basic rights in developed and developing nations worldwide with rare exceptions as the model.

The health care availability is a rarity in rural and urban areas in most countries not to mention the inhabitants plight in remote valleys and mountainous parts of the world exacerbated with lack of medical aid and health center.

This is where, Nomads Clinic has set precedence in travelling to the areas in dire need of medical attention. The team with free spirited volunteers consisting doctors, surgeons and medical students’ convergence visiting Nepal and Tibet for personalized health diagnosis is beyond local population expectation.

Arun was abandoned when he was five days old baby and found by an elderly woman on the street and his life began in an orphanage. The life at mercy homes housing several children under one roof condition them to reconcile terms with fate and no option to take anything for granted prevalent in domestic settings.

Arun had to leave orphanage home after graduating from high school.  He spent a week under open sky and worked at the coffee shop.  Arun’s passion for classical music (vocal and instrument – drum) led him to enroll in music college and now he runs music institute apart from offering free lessons to children from impoverished background with musical talent.

Since Youth Helping Hands inception, Arun has persevered to alleviate orphan children pain and difficulties with distribution of essentials – clothing, school supplies and medicine in addition to teaching and training kids by honing inherent skills preparing them for better future.

Arun celebrates main Hindu festival Diwali presenting new gifts and items to all children in the entire city of Coimbatore made possible with civic magnanimity. There are 65 orphanages with 3500 children who regard the 28 years old Arun and his young family as loving parents.

Youth Helping Hands (YHH) vision is to fill the family void for orphans and pursue elimination of orphan status with children growing up in normal household.

You may please visit www.youthhelpinghands.org for further information.

On the social dilemma of children becoming orphans in dysfunctional family scenario – promoting awareness on parental responsibility, family planning and society empathy not apathy towards children burdened with adults’ erroneous actions pertinent in the increasingly self-centered system.

I conclude with the urgent requisite in addressing the cause and not the symptoms alone on all issues confronting humanity.

The upcoming highlight is environment and awardees list for Vishwa Kalyaan or Universal Benefit Award.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Padmini Arhant
