Re: [IAC#RG] India against Corruption wants pictures of other freedom fighters on currency notes
I, ofcourse fully agree, being the son of the Adjutant General, Col. D.C. Nag, tasked by Subhash Bose to write up the INA Act and defend this at the INA trial in Delhi 1946. They were committed to lay down their lives to free India from British rule. There is no concrete evidence that Gandhi and Nehru were committed to lay down their lives to free India. They rather 'incited' the people to rebel, and die if required ! They abhorred personal violence.---------Hirak Nag.

Dear Brig Chhikara
Sir,
Thanks
for your prompt response.
1) At the outset let me inform you that Netaji
was my paternal
great-grandfather's
student in patriotism, and the student repaid his
debt to his teacher by saving his teacher's
life.
2) As you may recall
the IAC is part of a larger and ancient patriotic
movement from the 19th century, which is deeply
aware of and immersed
in its history and
pays homage to all those who came before us and on
whose work we build on today, Netaji
included.
3) As IAC is a
pan-Indian movement we have to carefully calibrate our
choices for maximum impact and support. I am
sure you will not
disagree that the first
objective is to dislodge Gandhi and repel his
image from the common psyche rather than
replace him by anybody
specific.
4) The 4 names IAC has
proposed were selected after considerable
internal discussions in the wider movements, to
provide an initial
impact, balanced
representations and a better overall shot at success.
Since apparently I shall be personally
spearheading this campaign if
we have to do
so, I would find it far easier to make a case for Tagore
versus Gandhi, rather than Netaji versus Gandhi
for the Rs. 1,000
note.
5) I also want to make it clear that we are
presently not changing the
names IAC is
proposing. I am proceeding for the annual retreat /
meeting of IAC's parent body today, and I
shall certainly faithfully
convey the views
of your INA trust to my seniors.
6) May I also say, humbly, it is also because
of such sectarianisms
that the Govt is able
to successfully divide us. Hence we appeal to
all those with IAC not to press any names at
this stage and focus on
the common larger
objectives of nation building and anti-corruption..

Re: [IAC#RG] India against Corruption wants pictures of other freedom fighters on currency notes
Dear Raminder Singh
I was there at Jantar Mantar as part of a motley group of people when Shri Shambhu Dutt started his Fast unto Death ?. Witnessed the drama that ensued with Kejriwal and Kiran Bedi etc going through motions of persuading him to give up his fast. I learnt later, from a close colleague of Shri Shambhu Dutt that his agreeing to break his fast was a pre arranged thing.
I lost some of my respect for the man that day.
Now I refuse to believe that Anna, Arvind or Kiran will ever do anything substantive towards setting up the Lok Pal or to otherwise root out corruption. The effort has to come from ordinary people sans political ambition.
I believe, Narendra Modi has put fear in the minds of his ministers resulting in much reduced corruption in high places but these people are belierved to be resentful of Modi for having done so. There is no visible impact on daily corruption at lower and intermediate levels of governance perhaps because Modi's message has either not reached them or this has not been transmitted to them by his ministers.

Dear GSSB / S.K Aggarwal
I recall the month of January 2011 very well because I was in India reporting on it for the UK media.
Shambhu Dutt Sharma was the Vice Chairman of TI and was on a pre-announced fast for Lokpal along with 5 others which had been announced in August 2010. It was known that the jittery Congress leadership got Arvind Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi, Agnivesh and Sri Sri Raviishekaran to visit Sharma to call off their fast unto death. GSSB's then Secretary Ashok was also backing these persons to appeal the fast to be called off. However, the IAC's convenor Sarabjit had written to GSSB, like Justice Nath, not to trust these people and to carry on the fast.
The end result is that due to those known corrupt persons the Lokpal movement now lies in ruins. The Lokpal when it is established is certain to be the most corrupt body in the country.
As I have generally found Sarabjit's team reporting to be fair and balanced, you should visit their website http://indiaagainstcorruption.org.in and read what they have to say on this subject - The real Lokpal movement of GSSB and how "Team Anna" hijacked it.

Dear Shri Raminder Singh,Thanks for forwarding the Economic Times report by Nidhi about Kejriwal's role in the movement for Lokpal Bill.In this connection, we wish to inform you that the movement for the enactment of "OMBUDSMAN" –LOKPAL BILL – creating LOKPAL at the centre and LOKAYUTAS in the states was undertaken some 46 years back.The Gandhian Seva & Satyagraha Brigade (formerly LOK SEVAK SANGH) along with TI India started a crusade for this LOKPAL (OMBUDSMAN) and effective implementation of Citizens' Charters & Prevention of Corruption Act in the Gandhian way decade ago. Apart from requesting through regular communications to various important personalities, including the Prime Ministers and heads of all the leading political parties, they resorted to Satyagraha in the Gandhian way and Fast-unto-Death many times. They have repeatedly received assurances of various dignitaries, including the then Prime Minister (Late) Shri I K Gujral.The TURNING POINT in this crusade came during the fast-unto-death on January 30th, 2011, when after the rally for Jan Lokpal by Shri Anna Hazare at Ramlila Maidan, his then associates including Swami Agnivesh, Kiran Bedi, Arvind Kejriwal, Father Dominique and Advocate Prashant Bhusan, came straight from Ramlila Maidan to New Delhi's Jantar Mantar where the then 93 year old (now in his 97th year) Freedom Fighter and Gandhian Shri Shambhu Dutta Ji was sitting on "FAST UNTO DEATH" with his other colleagues. They made a passionate and forceful plea to him and his colleagues to break his fast onto death and give his blessings to them to carry on this crusade and for its success. Kiran Bedi also said to Shri Shambhu Dutta Ji, "I am sitting at your feet and will not get up till you end your fast" since he is quite elder even to her father and hence now it is their responsibility to ensure the enactment of Lokpal.Let our Republic grow from strength to strength where every citizen is provided an effective grievance redressal mechanism & feels safe.

IAC has proposed a new series of currency notes to counter fake currency in circulation. Proposal has been sent to RBI to honour freedom fighters

By NIDHI SHARMA, ET Bureau | 7 Apr, 2015, 01.22AM IST
NEW DELHI: India Against Corruption, which was an umbrella initiative for anti-corruption crusade and Lokpal campaign, has decided to start a "No Gandhi" campaign against counterfeit currency. In its first major campaign after Lokpal, when Arvind Kejriwal had led a splinter group to start Aam Aadmi Party, India Against Corruption has proposed a new series of currency notes to counter fake currency in circulation. IAC has sent a proposal to RBI to introduce currency notes honouring other Indian other Indian heroes of the Independence movement. IAC has proposed that Rs 100 denomination notes with Mahatma Gandhi series be replaced by images of Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Rs 500 notes with Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj image, Rs 1,000 notes with Rabindranath Tagore image and Rs 200 with Tipu Sultan series.
Speaking to ET, IAC national convenor Sarbajit Roy said, "This is not a suggestion or representation but a formal request from IAC movement for grievance redressal to safeguard the integrity of the Indian state. In case RBI does not take steps to address these concerns, we would stop accepting the currency notes in circulation and start a "No Gandhi" movement.--GANDHIAN SEVA & SATYAGRAHA BRIGADE

Dear All readers,
Some important matters ,relevant to curtail corruption, is under debate.Different views are always invited .It strengths the democratic charector.
To create an institution of Lok Pal ,recommendation was initially made in the year 1968.Inspite of peoples call assembled with Sri Shambhu Dutt Ji &
Sri Anna Hazare and also at various places ,the Institution is still born.
To awaken the people ,and the Conscience of Government and Parliament of India to Govt's failure to frame laws for creating the institution of Lok Pal Satyagrah was observed on 24th Nov.2007 at the Statue of Sardar Vallbh Bhai Patel ,in Hazrat ganj at Lucknow ,U.P.
Even the 2nd Administrative Reforms Commission headed by Sri Moily and constitution by U P A Govt.supported this.
Only God knows when the institution would really start working.

Re: [IAC#RG] India against Corruption wants pictures of other freedom fighters on currency notes
Gandhiji said that what we got from Britishers was a political freedom. The struggle for economic freedom would give us true freedom.
The villages are enslaved by an urban centric economic system. Entire village masses are suffering from penury and misery. They are migrating to cities, where they fall into a greater trap.
A man, unsung in most of India, brought economic freedom to masses living in villages in preindependence United Punjab. He struggled to free village peasantry from the clutches of money lenders in United Punjab and succeeded very well with two revolutionary Acts in 1936-37. He brought prosperity to villages. Whenever his party came to power he took the role of Revenue minister and left the post of CM to Faizle ur Rehaman and Sikander Bakht. As revenue minister in his Unionist Party led government, he brought many policies in United Punjab that uplifted the rural people from poverty. He exposed Congress and Muslim League so well in front of people that these two parties could never win more than 2 seats in Provincial elections till this man was alive i.e till 1945. His struggle started in 1921 when he left Congress due to its anti rural ideologies. Some years thereafter he formed Unionist Party.
He understood the urban rural bias in those ages so well that he said: " I have greater regard and sympathy for a rural Muslim than a urban Hindu" He was poisoned, allegedly by members of Hindu trading community, at Lahore in 1945 and died. Had he been alive, India would never have been divided. Muslim League's fundamentalist designs were rebuked by Muslim's followers of Unionist Party led by this man.
When a Pakistan Chief Justice took oath, he stated that he owes his rise to policies of this man. This man's picture was displayed in background when this Chief Justice took oath. In 2009, a member of Pakistani Hockey team desired to visit Garhi Sampla in Haryana to take away a handful of soil from this land to fullfill the wishes of his father back in Pakistan.
But this man is almost obliterated from Indian history today because he challenged the urban centric, middle class supported, anti- rural Congress in pre independence India and never allowed it to get more than 2 seats in United Punjab Provincial Assembly. The earlier version of BJP i.e Jan sangh was treated in the same manner by this man.
This man forced Britishers to raise MSP for crops by 1.5 times in a single stroke.
In Pakistan, India's Haryana and Punjab, this man is a household name. He is referred as Rehbaar-A-Azam in pakistan; In India as " Deen Bandhu." Britishers called him " Sir."
This man's was....................
CHOTTU RAM.
I would love this man's pic on most currency notes.
PS. I may err at small deviation of facts but not significant.

Re: [IAC#RG] India against Corruption wants pictures of other freedom fighters on currency notes
Dear GSSB / S.K Aggarwal
I recall the month of January 2011 very well because I was in India reporting on it for the UK media.
Shambhu Dutt Sharma was the Vice Chairman of TI and was on a pre-announced fast for Lokpal along with 5 others which had been announced in August 2010. It was known that the jittery Congress leadership got Arvind Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi, Agnivesh and Sri Sri Raviishekaran to visit Sharma to call off their fast unto death. GSSB's then Secretary Ashok was also backing these persons to appeal the fast to be called off. However, the IAC's convenor Sarabjit had written to GSSB, like Justice Nath, not to trust these people and to carry on the fast.
The end result is that due to those known corrupt persons the Lokpal movement now lies in ruins. The Lokpal when it is established is certain to be the most corrupt body in the country.
As I have generally found Sarabjit's team reporting to be fair and balanced, you should visit their website http://indiaagainstcorruption.org.in and read what they have to say on this subject - The real Lokpal movement of GSSB and how "Team Anna" hijacked it.

BARBARIC KILLING OF TWENTY WORKERS BY A P POLICE
It is extremely disturbing to know that 20 persons who are poor and unskilled were shot down by A P police , as they were reported to be cutting down red sanders in Andhra Pradesh. It is said that these poor workers were employed by smugglers, rowdies and thugs , who obviously have political connections and some of them may be active politicians too. These workers who were shot down for committing the lawless activity, might not have even known that they were breaking the law. It is said that such illegal activities have been going on for long time and it is extremely difficult to believe that the police , senior officials and politicians belonging to various political parties do not know as to who were the persons behind such acts.
Police say that they have shot down the workers , as they were attacking the police and police acted in self defence. Can anyone believe this ? With superior arms , intelligence services at their command and vehicle facilities and strength of number , police could have easily surrounded them and arrested them.
However, is it possible that police were more interested in shooting them down to finish them once for all to put down such activities, rather than arresting them to find the men behind the act who have sent the workers to cut the trees.
As usual, the government will order an enquiry and the opposition will demand that the investigation should be given to CBI. There will be lot of debate in TV and media as to who should conduct the enquiry. After some time, the government will provide compensation to the victims and claim that it has done it's job. Twenty poor families with wife and children will suffer life long .However, the country will forget them soon and media will wait for next such episode.
In the early days of independence, when Indian politicians were more responsible and conscious of their duties , they would have resigned if such things were to have happened at that time. Today, things have deteriorated to such an extent that people often find it difficult to distinguish between criminals and politicians.
Killing of twenty poor workers certainly will disturb the conscience of millions of fair minded and good Indians , though it may not be so in the case of most politicians at various levels.
Can we expect the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh to own responsibility and resign and face an enquiry ? Is such standard too much to ask for in today's India?
Will Mr. Narendra Modi , the Prime Minister who is ultimately responsible for all good and bad things, condemn this disturbing killings in unequivocal terms and share the sentiments of millions of Indians ,though Andhra Pradesh is now ruled by his ally?

Sir,
Thanks for your prompt response.
1) At the outset let me inform you that Netaji was my paternal
great-grandfather's student in patriotism, and the student repaid his
debt to his teacher by saving his teacher's life.
2) As you may recall the IAC is part of a larger and ancient patriotic
movement from the 19th century, which is deeply aware of and immersed
in its history and pays homage to all those who came before us and on
whose work we build on today, Netaji included.
3) As IAC is a pan-Indian movement we have to carefully calibrate our
choices for maximum impact and support. I am sure you will not
disagree that the first objective is to dislodge Gandhi and repel his
image from the common psyche rather than replace him by anybody
specific.
4) The 4 names IAC has proposed were selected after considerable
internal discussions in the wider movements, to provide an initial
impact, balanced representations and a better overall shot at success.
Since apparently I shall be personally spearheading this campaign if
we have to do so, I would find it far easier to make a case for Tagore
versus Gandhi, rather than Netaji versus Gandhi for the Rs. 1,000
note.
5) I also want to make it clear that we are presently not changing the
names IAC is proposing. I am proceeding for the annual retreat /

6) May I also say, humbly, it is also because of such sectarianisms
