AMERICANIZATION OF CANADA

Yes, the Americanization of Canada is still occurring today. I feel that it matters to Canada. Canada is an independent country. Thus, She should have her own identity. She is a sovereign country. Canada is following the United States in many ways. Like, music is very much affected. Canada has her own music and She has produced some of the finest singers like Celine Dion, Lou Bega and others. But much of these singers go to the States in order to earn more money. Canada has a different fashion but a lot of Canadians follow the States people as their fashion impresses them. Canada has some Canadian channels on television. But majority of the channels are coming from the States. I think it is good for Canada to imitate the good things from the States but at the same time She should have something Candian touch in the fashion, tv channels, music and other such fields.

Every country has its own identity. The reason why a lot of foreigners like India is the at every 100 kms in India, the type of people , their dressing sense, their  food habbits, their vernacular architecture everything changes. Well Canada must have something unique, which gives the country the very name Canada. Canada imitates a lot of things from States like the society, the business which is in the benefit of the country. Canada and States are on the same verge of development but over all a French, Portugese, a Japenese and a Mogolian have heard the name of States more than Canada.

Being an East Indian, I have heard of United States of America more than Canada. That’s the main reason why I wanted to become an exchange student in Canada and not US.  I think that it is good as long as She is well aware of what makes her Canada and Canadians also learn the art of preserving Canadianization in front of the Americanization. But at the same time, She should take her own decisions no matter what the States say. United States of America might advice her in many ways but it is ih Her hads to take the right decision for Her Own people who make Canada a much different place than United States of America to live in. 

M.F. Hussain has accepted the Qatari citizenship

The Picaso of India Mr. Maqbool Fida Hussain has finally accepted the Qatari citizenship. Well that’s the sad part of the great painter’s last years.

Well according to the Hindus, it’s a fair deal. But truly within themselves they didn’t want thePicasso to leave India.

 M.F. Hussein is living in self exile for the past four years. The reason being that he panted Hindu Gods and Godesses and even Mother India nude! Yes, he should be thrown out. He himself realized this fact that he will not be given any security from the apex court and would be forced to suffer the consequences for his work.

Well, there we are, the problem with us is, that if we go and visit Khajuraho temples where all kinds of physical intimacies are carved. Well if M.F. Hussain’s paintings are controversial then what about t those Khajuraho temple buildings.

I guess it is the best decision that he has taken. For last four years nobody from India, neither the Central Government, nor the Apex Court were worried about him or lent him a helpin shoulder at the age of 95!! Then when the Qatari Government decides to give him the citizenship. Hola la we want him back???

We are all hypocrites. What if the same paintings were made by some Hindu painter? 4 years back no one even cared for him rather if he would be here, he would have been brutally murdered and now the same Apex Court wants him back because he is an Indian.

Why is he not coming back even though the Apex court is assuring his security? The reason being when the controversy broke up no one helped him out to find a way. Now that he has found his way to Qatar and has been living long enough so that he could earn the Qatari citizenship, the Apex court wants him back at any cost.

The problem is not that he is a Muslim, but the problem is that we will only see whatever we like. Irrespective of, if the same thing is being painted by a Muslim painter we will take the hell out of him. The reason being we do not want to curse our ancestors as they are Ours for Gods sake. But we can make this man’s life a hell because he is helpless and we can see him and track him down so we can murder him.

When the controversy broke up in the yester years, we the politicians, the journalists, the media said we are a Hindu country so we banned his paintings and today when the ball is in his court we say that please Mr. Hussain our country needs you, we will give you all the protection please come back because whatever we said is wrong we are a secular country.

So now even he will be selfish, and hence has accepted the Qatari citizenship. Wake up, India, otherwise we will lose such men like M.F. Hussain!!!

He knows that the Indian Government is using a double edged knife with him so he ran away from his motherland. So it’s the people of India who are at loss not him.

But this is the real scenario. We want to believe that whatever we are doing is correct and whatever another minority party’s man is doing is wrong.

Then we put up this shit of Hindu Muslim BHai Bhai. And yes the biggest thing we maintain their dargarhs. No use folks. In front of God there is no difference between M.F. Hussain and a common Hindu man.

APJ Abdul Kalam's

Why is the media here so negative? Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognize our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why? We are the first in milk production. We are number one in Remote sensing satellites. We are the second largest producer of wheat. We are the second largest producer of rice. Look at Dr. Sudarshan , he has transferred the tribal village into a self-sustaining, self-driving unit. There are millions of such achievements but our media is only obsessed in the bad news and failures and disasters. I was in Tel Aviv once and I was reading the Israeli newspaper. It was the day after a lot of attacks and bombardments and deaths had taken place. The Hamas had struck. But the front page of the newspaper had the picture of a Jewish gentleman who in five years had transformed his desert into an orchid and a granary. It was this inspiring picture that everyone woke up to. The gory details of killings, bombardments, deaths, were inside in the newspaper, buried among other news.

In India we only read about death, sickness, terrorism, crime.. Why are we so NEGATIVE? Another question: Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? We want foreign T.Vs, we want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology.

Why this obsession with everything imported. Do we not realize that self-respect comes with self-reliance? I was in Hyderabad giving this lecture, when a 14 year old girl asked me for my autograph. I asked her what her goal in life is. She replied: I want to live in a developed India . For her, you and I will have to build this developed India . You must proclaim. India is not an under-developed nation; it is a highly developed nation.
Do you have 10 minutes? Allow me to come back with a vengeance.

Got 10 minutes for your country? If yes, then read; otherwise, choice is yours..
YOU say that our government is inefficient.
YOU say that our laws are too old.
YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage.
YOU say that the phones don't work, the railways are a joke. The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination. 
YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits.

YOU say, say and say. What do YOU do about it?

Take a person on his way to Singapore . Give him a name - 'YOURS'. Give him a face - 'YOURS'. YOU walk out of the airport and you are at your International best. In Singapore you don't throw cigarette butts on the roads or eat in the stores. YOU are as proud of their Underground links as they are.. You pay $5 (approx. Rs. 60) to drive through Orchard Road (equivalent of Mahim Causeway or Pedder Road) between 5 PM and 8 PM. YOU come back to the parking lot to punch your parking ticket if you have over stayed in a restaurant or a shopping mall irrespective of your status identity… In Singapore you don't say anything, DO YOU? YOU wouldn't dare to eat in public during Ramadan, in Dubai .. YOU would not dare to go out without your head covered in Jeddah.
YOU would not dare to buy an employee of the telephone exchange in London at 10 pounds (Rs.650) a month to, 'see to it that my STD and ISD calls are billed to someone else.'YOU would not dare to speed beyond 55 mph (88 km/h) in Washington and then tell the traffic cop, 'Jaanta hai main kaun hoon (Do you know who I am?). I am so and so's son. Take your two bucks and get lost.' YOU wouldn't chuck an empty coconut shell anywhere other than the garbage pail on the beaches in Australia and New Zealand ..
Why don't YOU spit Paan on the streets of Tokyo ? Why don't YOU use examination jockeys or buy fake certificates in Boston ??? We are still talking of the same YOU. YOU who can respect and conform to a foreign system in other countries but cannot in your own. You who will throw papers and cigarettes on the road the moment you touch Indian ground. If you can be an involved and appreciative citizen in an alien country, why cannot you be the same here in India ?

In America every dog owner has to clean up after his pet has done the job. Same in Japan ..
Will the Indian citizen do that here?' He's right. We go to the polls to choose a government and after that forfeit all responsibility.
We sit back wanting to be pampered and expect the government to do everything for us whilst our contribution is totally negative. We expect the government to clean up but we are not going to stop chucking garbage all over the place nor are we going to stop to pick a up a stray piece of paper and throw it in the bin. We expect the railways to provide clean bathrooms but we are not going to learn the proper use of bathrooms.
We want Indian Airlines and Air India to provide the best of food and toiletries but we are not going to stop pilfering at the least opportunity.
This applies even to the staff who is known not to pass on the service to the public.

When it comes to burning social issues like those related to women, dowry, girl child! and others, we make loud drawing room protestations and continue to do the reverse at home. Our excuse? 'It's the whole system which has to change, how will it matter if I alone forego my sons' rights to a dowry.' So who's going to change the system?
What does a system consist of? Very conveniently for us it consists of our neighbours, other households, other cities, other communities and the government. But definitely not me and YOU. When it comes to us actually making a positive contribution to the system we lock ourselves along with our families into a safe cocoon and look into the distance at countries far away and wait for a Mr.Clean to come along & work miracles for us with a majestic sweep of his hand or we leave the country and run away.
Like lazy cowards hounded by our fears we run to America to bask in their glory and praise their system. When New York becomes insecure we run to England . When England experiences unemployment, we take the next flight out to the Gulf. When the Gulf is war struck, we demand to be rescued and brought home by the Indian government. Everybody is out to abuse and rape the country. Nobody thinks of feeding the system. Our conscience is mortgaged to money.

Dear Indians, The article is highly thought inductive, calls for a great deal of introspection and pricks one's conscience too…. I am echoing J. F. Kennedy's words to his fellow Americans to relate to Indians…..

'ASK WHAT WE CAN DO FOR INDIA AND DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO MAKE INDIA WHAT AMERICA AND OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES ARE TODAY'

Lets do what India needs from us.

Forward this mail to each Indian for a change instead of sending Jokes or junk mails.

Thank you,

Dr.. Abdul Kalam

I humbly request you to forward this to every Indian…… ……… ………

Azim Premji's comment on reservation!!

Azim Premji's comment on reservation!!

Have a look at this! How convincingly an intelligent man speaks out his
heart at the no-sense move made by Indian politicians. I hope that
strikes  them somewhere!! PASS IT ON.

Wipro chairman Mr. Azim Premji's comment on reservation:

I think we should have job reservations in all the fields. I completely
support the PM and all the politicians for promoting this. Let's start
the  reservation with our cricket team. We should have 10 percent
reservation  for Muslims. 30 percent for OBC, SC/ST like that. Cricket
rules should be  modified accordingly.

The boundary circle should be reduced for an SC/ST player. The four hit by
an OBC player should be considered as a six and a six hit by an OBC
player  should be counted as 8 runs. An OBC player scoring 60 runs should
be  declared as a century.

We should influence ICC and make rules so that the pace bowlers like
Shoaib Akhtar should not bowl fast balls to our OBC player.

Bowlers should bowl maximum speed of 80 km/ hour to an OBC player.

Any delivery above this speed should be made illegal.

Also we should have reservation in Olympics. In the 100 meters race, an
OBC player should be given a gold medal if he runs 80 meters.

There can be reservation in Government jobs also. Let's recruit SC/ST and
OBC pilots for aircrafts which are carrying the ministers and politicians
(that can really help the country...)

Ensure that only SC/ST and OBC doctors do the operations for the ministers
and other politicians. (Another way of saving the country...)

Let's be creative and think of ways and means to guide INDIAforward...
Let's show the world that INDIA is a GREAT country.
Let's be proud of being an INDIAN...
