India – Tamil Nadu Political Status

September 28, 2014

The audio format is to accommodate various groups convenience and preference.  Your interest is always appreciated.

By Padmini Arhant 

The latest development in the Southern State of Tamil Nadu politics with incumbent Chief Minister Jayalalitha convicted and sentenced to 4 years jail term on disproportionate assets case is a positive step towards curbing corruption. 

However, selective indictments in politics could mean the probe is politically motivated and undermine the necessity for universal application of law regardless of stature in society.

The corruption in politics is enabled by misinterpretation of power by those elected to public office besides impunity protecting and shielding unscrupulousness and flagrant abuse of authority. 

When lawmakers introduce laws through legislation in society, they exempt them from such laws and disregard the importance to set example in abiding by the rules and regulations that are enforced on ordinary people.

The legislators, administration and government employees’ involvement in corruption scandals having become the standard practice,

The political members maintaining close ties with economic and entertainment sector utilize the career to make fortune accumulating wealth lasting over several generations.

They ignore consequences of their actions on 1.2 billion people with significant majority forced into abject poverty or severe economic condition.

Notwithstanding the economic liability from tax evasions, black money in overseas bank accounts, tax havens along with kick backs on deals depleting national treasury shift the burden on middle class and lower income category as taxpayers in the country.

The political representatives barring exceptions do not represent the electorate electing them to power.

Instead they diligently safeguard their own and campaign financiers interest to continue the trend in mutual benefit.

Accordingly the hunger for power and the urge to remain in position is stronger and they spare no opportunity to prolong their rule at all costs including arrangements for party loyalists as substitute until they explore options to buy justice for a price through bail and other available means to avoid jail sentence.

Yet another strategy for political parties whether ruling or opposition is to engage taxpayer funded intelligence agency and taxation department as intimidation tools against anyone perceived potential threat to status quo.

The judicial process against ex-chief minister Jayalalitha might be the tip of the iceberg in Indian politics.

Nonetheless the inquiry followed by legal proceedings and appropriate findings against members in political, economic, entertainment, religion and social domain without bias or preferential treatment is critical to revive fairness and equality on compliance with law.

Again the influential status often overrides adherence amongst the rich, famous and the powerful fostering corruption culture.

In a real democracy, there would be no hierarchy with uniformity and consistency across the spectrum conforming to egalitarianism.

Essentially, the other political party leaderships as well as individuals and organizations are to be brought under scrutiny and subject to financial disclosure expediting national revenue recovery from overseas tax shelter.

In this context, members of Tamil Nadu DMK party chief Karunanidhi and family, AIADMK and different political factions within the state and,

Similarly in every other state in India beginning with Central Government in capital New Delhi – Congress Chief Sonia Gandhi, former Prime Ministerial candidate Rahul Gandhi, former Home and Finance Minister P. Chidambaram, ex-Communications minister Kapil Sibal, the predecessor Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, former Chief Minister of Delhi Sheila Dikshit to name a few in Congress party.

Likewise with BJP – Prime Minister Narinder Modi, Finance and Defense Minister Arun Jaitley, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, Minister for Women and Child Development Meneka Gandhi and counterparts in the administration and nationwide be commissioned to public verification.

AAP founder Arvind Kejriwal and party affiliates and,

Prominently former Chief Minister for Uttar Pradesh Mayawati and political rivals in the state.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Trinamool members, CPI(M) and relevant groups in the region.

Maharashtra’s Shiv Sena, former Chief Minister Sharad Pawar and political contenders in the state. 

Bihar’s RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav and alike.

The transparency and accountability on regional and national political parties not excluding economic and other fields would determine democratic functionality.

The notion that serving members in politics could not be tried despite evidence based charges due to political immunity is subversion of democracy.

As a result politics is leading the nation in unethical and treasonous act during official period optimizing personal economic security.

The people in Tamil Nadu and rest of India dismissal of corrosive system epitomizing corruption, embezzlement and power concentration replacing with integrity, ingenuity, intellect and sincerity is the foundation for true independence.

In the absence of checks and balances, the privileges are far too many with cart blanche authority proved detrimental to national progress.

Tamil Nadu moving away from tradition i.e. alternating between two political parties – DMK, AIADMK and the ambit – Congress, BJP or proxy and settling for authentic people power setting aside reservations is the holistic approach to moral decadence.

I convey my best wishes to people in Tamil Nadu and India for republic empowerment.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

World Event – United Nations General Assembly 69th Session 2014

September 27, 2014

The audio version is for visually impaired listeners and others convenience as well as preference.  Your interest is appreciated. 

Segment 1 of the UN address.

By Padmini Arhant

My Greetings to world leaders and citizens across the globe attending the 69th Session of the United Nations General Assembly 2014.

The global events resulting in death, devastation, decimation and destabilization premised on deception, deceit and depravation is a reflection on forces and facilitators preoccupation to proliferate violence and instability all around.

Contemporary politics under the guise of democracy using electoral process and referendum legitimize illegitimate rule and repeatedly beguile electorate to prolong status quo.

The vote rigging and irregularities accompanied by domestic and foreign illicit funding confirms the unlawful system usurp to power.

The world problems emanate from the conglomerate reining control over politics, economy, religion, communication media and press, entertainment, social issues and environment.

Mass manipulation through media propagation widely practiced to suppress genuine voice and facts presentation.

The overt and covert implementation of laws undermining constitution, democratic principles and citizens’ rights are diverse strategies for subjugation.

More relevantly the alter ego in proxy rule representing shadow power and behind the scenes operatives are increasingly and defiantly launched to deny people choice. 

The political structure sculptured to project authenticity even though actions and decisions are invariably favorable to imperial aspirations, ideological and personal advantage. 

Accordingly the immediate priority is to reject existing conditions and dismantle incognito command center evidently authorizing systematic destruction of life and habitat in general.

Accepting current developments regardless of detrimental results set dangerous precedence.

The trend predictably leading to abyss due to dysfunctional and demoralized management at the helm and representation in various format across the spectrum.

Following World War II, United Nations formation with United Nations Security Council consisting five permanent members assuming authority including veto power is predominantly responsible for warfare through economic sanctions and military operation against selective targets i.e. nations perceived adversaries by hegemony.

The hegemonic goals having no limit or boundary continue to assert aggression under false pretexts creating lawlessness and terrorism to justify illegal invasion, occupation and topple democratically elected governments in Ukraine, Thailand, Iraq and now in Syria.

The tradition continues in Latin America with ongoing attempts to derail democracy in Venezuela, Argentina, Bolivia and other states in southern and western hemisphere.

Hegemony promoting candidacies and nominees renowned for corruption scandals, treason, embezzlements and communal violence besides dictatorial regimes in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Turkey and elsewhere in the Middle East emphasize conformity in the surrender of sovereignty.

Similarly hegemony intrusion in the continent of Africa and influence over Asia and remaining world signify malignant foundation to avert the inevitable self-dissolution.

Furthermore, hegemony maneuvered United Nations as an international body is yet to demonstrate fairness and competence in diffusing crises albeit manufactured by UNSC permanent members and alliance.

Arguably recognition of organization involved in global mayhem is endorsement of authoritarianism and the degenerative process would only expedite imminent termination.

The provocation and intervention in Iraq, Syria and earlier in Libya in addition to Afghanistan and several other countries citing terrorism and militancy has no credibility whatsoever considering United States and coalition sponsorship of terror network al-Qaeda and affiliates in the Syrian conflict.

United States leadership at hegemony behest conducting air strikes in Syria and Iraq producing civilian casualties while refusing alternatives such as cease financing and weapons delivery to ISIL / ISIS reveal pre-conceived ambition seeking fall of Syria and neighboring Lebanon with contagion effect.

The counterproductive policy ignores consequences adversely affecting global economy and critically the origin – United States and counterparts rallying to revive flawed and decrepit concept.

The downfall of Syria would have drastic impact on Saudi Arabia, Israel, Qatar, UAE and trigger regional disintegration conclusively yielding a failed mission for the architects and purveyors of terror.

Syria and Iraq affair would be extremely costly and perhaps debilitate aggressors in every aspect to point of no return. 

The cataclysmic adventure reminiscent of earlier attack on Iraq in 2003 paralyzed United States and European economy with no recovery in sight. 

United States and participants resurgence in Syria and Iraq guaranteed to backfire and precipitate the empire decline.

Whenever regency is desired at vast majority expense and loss of innocent lives, the malicious intent harm the source and catalysts with irreversible outcome.

Hence, United States, Britain, Israel, Saudi Arabia and associates abandoning catastrophic pursuits could be saving grace for them and ease the debt burden on guilt and responsibility to be settled with no exception.

The global mater covering myriad issues will resume and submitted in segment 2 of the UN address.

Your interest and focus is appreciated.

Thank you.

India – Jammu and Kashmir Flood Situation

September 20, 2014

The audio version of the text made available for citizens convenience and choice.  Your participation is appreciated.

By Padmini Arhant

The recent natural disaster in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir has claimed many lives besides severe damages to livelihoods, residents’ homes and public convenience in the capital Srinagar and several areas of the valley.

Whenever such calamity hits the territory, the death toll and destruction has significant impact on survivors and often paralyzes the system.

The Central and state authorities preparedness in crisis management and mitigation is subject to test and the failure leads to major hazards with much longer recovery time.

The flood victims in Srinagar and Jammu have suffered enormously considering the delay in initial response on rescue operation.

However, subsequent relief efforts are pertinent and maintaining humanitarian assistance also contain casualties emanating from water borne disease and lack of basic requirements during emergency situation.

The environment neglect and various activities to satisfy energy demands whilst refusing to consider solar, wind, hydro conductivity and other natural sources contribute to extreme weather conditions accompanied by human and economic losses for the state and the people.

Political decisions overriding evidence based facts on environmental matter and non-commitment towards climate treaty are contentious and attributed to inhabitants declining general health status.

Furthermore the absence of effective strategy towards carbon reduction and earth protection endanger life and planet sustenance.

The political authorities concerted steps to compete with other carbon emitters by expanding automobile manufacturing without smog control regulations and preventive actions affect air quality resulting in massive pollution.

Unfortunately the serious lapse in regulatory measures and violations contaminate habitat not to mention the economic liability pertaining to health care costs with sharp escalation in pulmonary ailments like respiratory problems viz. asthma commonly experienced among children and elders in society.

As long as rivers, mountains, sky and soil remain under relentless attack and abuse – for instance the subterranean nuclear testing ramifications are hardly a concern for political and military leaderships engaged in nuclear weapons enhancement.

Arguably the political and economic drive at planet’s peril is existential threat to humanity.

The industrialized nations together with emerging economies bear collective responsibility in eliminating toxicity produced through diverse agents and pollutants posing greater risks to all species and causing ecological imbalance that could ultimately breakdown food pyramid and disrupt natural cycle.

The special interests backed governments illogical stance in denying environment woes from reckless and counterproductive indulgence is an impediment to corrective remedies in altering climatic variations witnessed in many parts of the world.

The developing nations in particular made vulnerable to rapidly changing seasons summarily threatening survival.

Unless recognition on planet degradation with prompt solutions are implemented,

The rising sea levels behind melting ice caps or alternatively drought and famine in Africa and regions exposed to drastic deforestation including rain forests depletion in the Amazon, Latin America or Congo in Africa, Indonesia and New Guinea in the Asia Pacific create tremendous challenges for local population transforming original landscape to undesirable level.

India’s Jammu and Kashmir latest tragedy from floods is deeply regrettable.

Hopefully citizens and political leaderships precautionary planning and readiness would avert catastrophe in the future.

I offer my sincere condolence to mournful families and pray for solace and peace to the citizens in Jammu and Kashmir.

May God bless the people in Jammu and Kashmir enabling the healing process essential to overcome suffering.

Peace to all!

Thank you.
