After the news about author MM Kalburgiaudacious murder reachedTwitter, Bajrang Dal's Bantwal co-convener Bhuvith Shetty tweeted welcoming the noted scholar's death and even warned another academician of similar fate.
Shetty posted the tweet: "Then it was UR Ananthamurthy and now MMKalburgi. Mock Hinduism and die dogs (sic.) death. And dear KSBhagwan you are next,"
Two men came on a two-wheeler and knocked at the door of Kalburgi's house and as it was opened, two shots were fired at him on his forehead and chest, after which the assailants fled. (Read more about the murder) Kalburgi had raised the hackles of some right-wing outfits like VHP and Bajrang Dal when he had made certain remarks about idol worship by Hindus that were considered "derogatory" and "blasphemous" by them.
Meanwhile, Shetty, after receiving flak from Twitterati where many believed that the Bajrang Dal was taking responsibility for the incident, deleted the tweet and disabled his twitter handle @GarudaPurana. Denying that his organisation any role in the murder, he said to The Hindustan Times, "I vented my anger spontaneously but that doesn't mean I or people from my organisation have killed Kalburgi. "
Regarding the threatening tweet to Bhagwan, he said that Bhagwan should be aware that he could be target for such killing."That doesn't mean that my organisation or I want to kill him," he added.
Bhagwan is retired professor from the Mysore University. He was known was his incisive criticism against Hindutva groups. He recently courted controversy after inviting VHP leader and pontiff Vishveshwara Thirtha Swami for a debate on Hindu scriptures.
Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah has said that it treated the Kalburgi's murder 'very seriously' and culprits would be traced soon and meted out 'strictest punishment' according to law.
As per police, a special team had been formed to investigate the matter and forensic and fingerprint experts have been called in.

New Delhi, Aug. 28: The censor board has refused to certify a documentary film on the 2014 election campaign in Varanasi, whereNarendra Modi and Arvind Kejriwal were the star rivals, saying it "pokes fun" at Modi.
Narendra Modi
One clip that apparently raised the red flag was a reference by anIndependent candidate to a "56-inch" chest – a yardstick set by Modi on the campaign trail on what it takes to run the country.
The feature-length film titled Battle for Benaras, directed by national award winner Kamal Swaroop had come up for the approval at the board on Thursday.
The film – documenting poll rallies and public speeches given by several candidates from the constituency – was rejected as the seven-member examining committee of the Central Board of Film Certification felt its content showed "Modi in a bad light and mocked him".
The committee members, who were drawn from the advisory panel by chief censor Pahlaj Nihalani, told the producers that "such a film had no chance in the revising committee even if the filmmakers reapply for a review as its theme was not acceptable". The film was produced by Medient Studios, a US-India joint film company.
Swaroop said he was "shocked" at the "outright rejection of the film as it had no political commentary or interviews".
"In the film, all I tried to do was to capture the festivity that an election in India brings and I chose Varanasi because it promised the most interesting fight," he told The Telegraph.
"The documentary is about the election rhetoric, promises, accusations, counter-accusations and the media coverage that any poll in India brings," Swaroop said. "This is not derogatory to anybody at all."
The filmmaker, whose non-fiction film Rangbhoomi on the life and work of Dadasaheb Phalke had won a national award last year, is set to approach the Film Certification Appellate Tribunal. "I had based the film entirely on the candidates' and other politicians' addresses, meetings and their interactions with voters without adding any analysis or perspective – so it is bizarre why such a compilation should be banned by the censor board," said Swaroop.
An executive from the production unit who was present during the film's screening yesterday said that among other things that the board members objected to, one was a clip showing an Independent transgender candidate Kamla
Kinnar in which she says she has a "chest wider than Modi's 56 inch".
During the poll campaign in 2014, Modi, then the BJP's prime ministerial candidate, had repeatedly said it would require a person with a "56-inch chest" to govern India.
"They also had issues with some candidates from the Congress and the Samajwadi Party taking jibes at Modi for separating from his wife Jashodaben and said that now that Modi is Prime Minister, the public cannot be shown a film that glorifies his opponents," the executive said.
Nihalani said that though he had not watched the film, the members of the committee told him it was "pro-Kejriwal".
"It looks like this film portrays Modiji in poor light and I think it is anti-government to do so," said Nihalani who has earlier directed clips and songs in praise of the Prime Minister.
Some senior board members felt that the denial of certification showed the "state of affairs" under Nihalani.
"From what I have gathered about the film, it is totally an apolitical account of the poll campaign and I see no reason why it should be labelled 'anti-national' or derogatory towards somebody," said Nandini Sardesai. "Although I am a board member myself and should be assigned films for review, I hardly get called. Most of the revising committees are chaired by the chairman himself and in the examining committees he handpicks people who toe his line."
The film was shot over a 40-day period during April and May last year and has already been screened at the Montreal Film Festival. The producers said that though they had initially planned a theatrical release in select cities in India –which is a rare in caseof documentary films — they will now target it for audiences in Europe and the US.

Muzaffarnagar: two years later, still a tinderbox
Muzaffarnagar: two years later, still a tinderbox

Many believe the communal incidents in the region were strategically timed ahead of the panchayat polls
"This man was killing cows near the mandi. He's a cow murderer. Listen to what we have to say! If anyone else is caught slaughtering cows, this is what we will do to them."
This provocative line suddenly popped up on WhatsApp in the last week of June, accompanied by a video clip of Bajrang Dal activists inShamli assaulting the "cow murderer". As it went viral on the social media, communal tension in Shamli and Muzaffarnagar — the districts devastated by deadly riots exactly two years ago in August 2013 — rose, interrupting the fragile peace.
This was just the beginning.
Communal clashes began to be reported from different parts of western Uttar Pradesh, even from towns that had been peaceful in the recent past like Saharanpur, or those outside this region such as Faizabad. Starting mid-June, around 20-odd small and big incidents have been reported, coinciding with the start of Ramzaan and later, Kanwad.
The spurt in communal incidents that broke the relative calm of the region, many here believe, were strategically timed ahead of the panchayat polls, scheduled for later this year. Just as the clashes of August 2013 led to the emptying of villages, and communal polarisation followed by a clean sweep by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the general elections here last year.
This time, the BJP and the ruling Samajwadi Party (SP) are expending their energy on these local polls, hoping its results will set the stage for the Assembly polls slated for early 2017.
The riots here began in the last week of August 2013, after the murders of Shahnawaz and Sachin and Gaurav, residents of Kaval and Malakpur villages, triggered off a series of hate speeches by Jat and Muslim leaders to their respective communities.
Earlier this year, when two boys on motorcycles, one a Dalit and the other a Muslim, crashed into each other in Deoband, hundreds of people came on to the roads, pelting stones and opening fire. In another incident in Meerut, when a local farmer parked his trolley on farmland belonging to someone of another community, the incident swiftly turned communal. In both cases, the Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) and the police had to be called in.
Local BJP activists told The Hindu this was "inevitable".
Even though the police took prompt action and arrested the Muslims reported to have started the fight in Deoband, Dalit youth continue to highlight alleged instances of the State government's pro-Muslim bias. Topping the list of instances is how a senior SP State Minister got police officers transferred to "save" Muslim rioters during the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots. "Riots would have been controlled had the officers not been shifted by Azam Khan [a senior SP leader]," said Vivek, a Valmiki youth in Deoband.
It is the internalising of such grievances that makes the BJP confident that wherever Dalits constitute less then 40 per cent in Muslim-dominated towns and villages, they will vote for the BJP. "If polarisation takes place, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) will not get Dalit votes. No Valmiki or Dalit is a Dalit now. All of them have become Hindus," a BJP leader told The Hindu in Shamli.
Such has been the lasting impact of the Muzaffarnagar riots that for a majority of the Hindus here, the SP Government is "anti-Hindu".
In the first week of July, Satbir, a youth from the OBC community of Kashyaps, sitting outside a mosque in Meerapur Assembly constituency's Bhumma village, was killed by two people from the same village.
As the alleged killers were Muslim, Satbir's family expressed its lack of confidence in the local station house officer (SHO). The SHO was called back to police headquarters and the Muslims in the village, outnumbered by the Hindus, were forced to take shelter in the mosque.
As the situation grew increasingly tense, local BJP MP, 2013 riot-accused and now a Central Minister Sanjeev Baliyan, arrived, accompanied by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP)'s Sadhvi Pragya. So inflammatory were the Sadhvi's remarks that even the State BJP chief distanced himself from her statement.
The BJP, says Shahid Manzoor, Labour Minister in the SP government, wants to neutralise the anger and disillusionment of the local Hindu farmers, largely Jats, against the Centre. "In May, everyone in U.P. was criticising the Modi government for remaining silent on the sad plight of farmers and sugarcane growers. Now the BJP wants to counter that. The easiest way is to communalise the environment."
So tense is the situation now that even a small fight can spark off violence.
The alleged attack on riot victims in Kutba village on Saturday and violent attack on a prominent Muslim cleric by Bajrang Dal workers on Friday worked to enflame the already polarised communal tempers of the region.
A Conspiracy to Make RTI Meaningless
A Conspiracy to Make RTI Meaningless
The Union government did not crown itself with glory when it said thatpolitical parties should not be brought under the purview of the Right to Information (RTI) Act. It merely echoed the opinion of the parties when it briefed the Supreme Court on the matter. Political parties, cutting across ideological and regional divides, have shown such unity of purpose only on legislators' salary and perks. Two years ago, theCentral Information Commission had unanimously decided that the Act was applicable to political parties. This was in keeping with the spirit of the RTI because, although parties were not established under an Act, they were beneficiaries of largesse from the government in terms of land, water and other benefits. Therefore, the people had a right to get information about their functioning.
Instead of accepting the logic of democracy, every party has been defying the CIC's order. Under RTI, political parties are not bound to answer queries regarding their political strategy. What the tax-payers would want to know — and justly — is how they collect and spend money on elections and party activities. It is no secret that there is a huge gap between the money parties actually spend on elections and the money they admit to have spent. It is because they afraid that the Act might expose them to questions of probity, that they want to be above the RTI Act.
Neither the parties nor the government in power can erase the fact that the RTI Act is one of independent India's greatest legislative attempts to bring in a measure of transparency and accountability in the functioning of the government. For the first time it empowered the ordinary people to ask questions and receive answers about government functioning. India is one of the very few countries that have empowered their people in this manner. During the decade the Act has been in operation, it has helped strengthen democratic institutions. Even parties like the Congress that enacted the law — under the pressure of public opinion — have now a different view on the Act. The courts and the CBI, too, have sought exemption from the law. These add up to a conspiracy against the people. What is required is an intelligent use of the law, not exemptions that will take the meaning out of it.
Shiv Sena Will Reward Hindu Families With 5 Children Rs 2 Lakhs #WTFnews
Shiv Sena Will Reward Hindu Families With 5 Children Rs 2 Lakhs #WTFnews
Days after the report on rising Muslim population in the country that raised a concern especially among the right wing groups like Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Shiv Sena, Agra unit of Shiva Sena has decided to tackle the matter by rewarding Hindu families.
An amount of Rs 2 lakhs as reward has been announced for every Hindu family which has five children. Considering the plummeting figures of Hindu population in the recent census, the Sena unit has introduced the reward system.

District Chief of the Shiv Sena, Veenu Lavania, announced the reward on Friday, August 28. "Each family that has five kids between 2010 to 2015 will get Rs 2 lakh. The parents will need to furnish birth certificates from the municipal corporation, he added. Shiv Sena has also expressed concern over the growing Muslim population. They demanded a uniform civil code and an end to the system of 'several wives per husband'.
In 1952, India was the first country in the world to launch a national programme, emphasizing on family planning in pursuit of stabilizing population. The sole aim of the programme was to reduce birth rate in the country.
The slogan Hum Do, Humare Do was once intended to create awareness among the people but apparently Shiv Sena workers have made it Hum Do, Humare Paanch as a solution to the rising Muslim population while completely leaving aside the larger concern that is rising population.

#India – Right to privacy: It’s in our DNA
#India – Right to privacy: It's in our DNA
In Govind v. State of MP (1975), the Supreme Court held that 'many of the fundamental rights of citizens can be described as contributing to the right to privacy'. Subsequently, the right to dignity was held as a non-negotiable right… it is hollow without the right to privacy.
A Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court of India is to pronounce whether the right to privacy is a fundamental right or not. A three-judge division bench hearing the constitutional validity of the Aadhaar project referred the matter to the Constitution bench on the request of the attorney-general, Mukul Rohatgi. Earlier, his argument before the apex court in defence of Aadhaar, that the right to privacy is not a fundamental right, triggered a storm. Adding grist to the mill, theUnion government banned 857 porn sites, only to backtrack later before the Supreme Court, when the nation grizzled against it as invasion into their privacy. Realising its folly, the government told the court that it was not a totalitarian state and that it "does not intend to become the moral police of the people".
When the AG pleaded before the court that right to privacy is not a fundamental right, he was basing his contention on the Supreme Court's judgments in M.P. Sharma v. Satish Chandra (1954) andKharak Singh v. State of UP (1962), where the court held that "…when the Constitution makers have thought it fit not to subject such regulation to constitutional limitations by recognition of fundamental right to privacy, we have no justification to import it… by some process of strained construction."
It appears that the Supreme Court was not aware of the debate on the issue in the Constituent Assembly. The Congress' Kazi Karimuddin had moved an amendment in the Constituent Assembly on the lines of the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution, but it was defeated. However, Dr B.R. Ambedkar supported it: "I think it is a useful provision and may find a place in our Constitution." Besides, the Preamble also talks of "fraternity assuring the dignity of the individual".
In Kharak Singh's case, Justice Subba Rao, among the five judges of the Constitution Bench, wrote in his dissenting judgment that right to privacy is an essential ingredient of personal liberty.
Later, the Supreme Court discarded the doctrine of strict interpretation of fundamental rights, and gave an expansive interpretation. In Govind v. State of MP (1975), the Supreme Court held that "many of the fundamental rights of citizens can be described as contributing to the right to privacy". In many subsequent cases, the right to dignity was held as a non-negotiable right. It is evident that the right to dignity is hollow without the right to privacy.
Right to privacy, thus, is an inalienable part of right to personal liberty guaranteed by Article 21 of the Indian Constitution but it's not explicitly mentioned as a fundamental right.
Most common law Constitutions do not bequeath right to privacy to their citizens. In the US, courts did not protect this right until the fag end of the 19th century. This right was recognised when Charles Warren and Louis Brandeis published their seminal article, The Right To Privacy, in the Harvard Law Review (1890). Though hundreds of cases related to right to privacy came to the courts, the first higher American court to deal with this right was a New York appellate court in Roberson v. Rochester Folding Box Co. (1902). Chief Justice Parker ruled that the defendants had invaded what is called a "right to privacy", in other words, the right to be left alone.
There is no consensus over the definition of privacy. For Professor Michael A. Weinstein, privacy is a psychological state, a condition of "being apart from others", and for American jurist Charles Fried, privacy is a form of power, "the control we have over information about ourselves".
Ancient Indian law-givers declared "Sarve sve sve grihe raja" (Every man is a king in his own house). Indian classical literature and epics expounded the law of privacy with this concept as the central theme, and the king, under a moral obligation to uphold dharma, had to respect the privacy of the citizen. In the Mahabharata we find how privacy was respected. Draupadi was the common wife of the five Pandava brothers. To avoid embarrassment, a rule was made that if any one of them happened to see Draupadi in company of another brother he would have to undergo banishment for 12 years in the forest as brahmachari. Once it so happened that while Draupadi was with Yudhishthira in a room, Arjun had to collect his weapons kept in that room. Not finding any alternative, Arjun intruded their privacy, violating the rule and presenting himself to undergo the prescribed punishment.
Indian traditions and customs have always respected this kind of privacy, and the Indian courts were ahead of British and US courts in protecting this right. In 1888, Chief Justice John Edge of the Allahabad high court observed, "In my opinion, the fact that there is no such custom of privacy known to the law of England can have no bearing on the question whether there can be Indian usage or custom of privacy valid in law."
Advocating the right to privacy for British nationals, Professor Percy H. Winfield passionately appealed to the House of Commons in 1931 to follow the Indian law. Section 509 of the IPC, 1860, makes it a crime to intrude into the privacy of a woman. It was not imported from England, nor a novel contribution of Thomas Babington Macaulay, but was just a codification of a long established tradition in India.
Yet, the government is ready to introduce the DNA Profiling Bill in Parliament soon. The bill will give teeth to criminal investigations as it will allow the use of forensic science to identify a person using the unique signature found in his/her DNA. But there is no safeguard against the misuse of data proposed to be collected under the bill.
A group of experts headed by former Chief Justice of the Delhi high court, A.P. Shah, recommended a framework for a Privacy Act which would recognise all dimensions of the right to privacy and address concerns about data safety, protection from unauthorised interception, surveillance, use of personal identifiers and bodily privacy.
The Supreme Court has, in its interim order, directed that the Aadhaar number can be used for PDS and LPG subsidy, but is not mandatory for any other purpose. Thus reiterating that safeguards against the misuse of biometric details of people are necessary before they are collected.

Patel Rap in Delhi – Hardik to meet Jat and Gujjar leaders for nationwide stir
Patel Rap in Delhi – Hardik to meet Jat and Gujjar leaders for nationwide stir
The 22-year-old has been sending confusing political signals, which make his visit to Delhi a must-watch.
His Delhi visit is ostensibly to meet spearheading agitations for quota for their communities.
Hardik Patel, leader of the movement demanding reservation for the Patidar (Patel) community, will visit Delhi on Sunday, ostensibly to meet Jat and Gujjar leaders spearheading agitations for quota for their communities and participate in a programme of a Hindi television channel.
"Hardikbhai will go to Delhi tomorrow [Sunday] morning and try and meet Jat and Gujjar leaders who are heading agitations for OBC [Other Backward Classes] status for their communities. At 2 p.m., he shall hold a press conference at Gurjar Bhavan in Delhi," his close aide Chirag Patel told The Hindu.
He was unable to give the names of the Jat and Gujjar leaders. "All that will be clear at the press conference. The Delhi stopover is just a step to coordinating our agitation with all those who are demanding OBC status," he said. The television channel confirmed that Mr. Hardik Patel would be its guest.
The 22-year-old leader of the Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti has been sending confusing political signals, which make his visit to Delhi a must-watch. After getting support of Janata Dal(U) leader Nitish Kumarby saying the Kurmi community in Bihar is his own, Mr. Patel heaped praise on the late Bal Thackeray, Shiv Sena founder, prompting JD(U) president Sharad Yadav to distance the party from Mr. Hardik Patel. "Do the Patels in Gujarat need reservation," Mr. Sharad Yadav queried after hearing his praise of the Sena leadership.
Conspiracy charge
The Congress has already termed the agitation a right-wing conspiracy to end reservations based on caste lines.
With these signals, Mr. Hardik Patel's search for political ground has become interesting. "Our appeal to the Patel community will be based on its sense of pride and entrepreneurship; it is one of the most enterprising communities and it doesn't behove it to seek backward status," a senior State BJP leader said.

7 | "I am heading towards Delhi to meet the leaders of the Gurjar agitation to take their help to intensify our agitation in Gujarat," Hardik Patel said. |
8 | The 22-year-old said his sole objective is the inclusion of Patel community in the OBC category and not the abolition of the quota system but ruled out negotiations on the issue. |

Action urged to end “alarming” number of enforced disappearances on International Day

Prohibition of enforced disappearance is 'absolute,' UN declares, urging action to ramp-up searches for missing

30 August 2015 – Marking the fourth International Day of Enforced Disappearances, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moondenounced the "alarming" number of acts by that are tantamount to enforced disappearances and appealed to all Member States to ratify or accede to the legal instrument prohibiting such acts.
"The prohibition of enforced disappearance is absolute," Mr. Ban declared in a message on the Day, commemorated annually on 30 August.
The UN chief was referring to the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, which affirms unequivocally that the use of enforced disappearance is illegal under any circumstances, including war, internal political instability or any other public emergency.
"Victims of enforced disappearances are deprived of their liberty, kept in secret detention and seldom released," Mr. Ban said. "Often their fate remains unknown; they are frequently tortured and in constant fear of being killed. Even if they are eventually set free, the physical and psychological scars stay with them for the rest of their lives. The victims' families and loved ones also suffer immense anguish."
"On this International Day, I urge all Member States to ratify or accede to the Convention without delay, and I call on the States parties to the Convention to implement it," Mr. Ban said, adding: "It is time for an end to all enforced disappearances."
He noted that far from being a practice employed only in the past by military dictatorships, enforced disappearance continues to be used by some States.
Furthermore, "in recent years there has also been an alarming number of acts by non-State actors, including armed extremist and terrorist groups, that are tantamount to enforced disappearances and that are also gross abuses of human rights," he said.
In the past year alone, the two UN mechanisms [expert groups] on enforced disappearance received 246 requests by family members across the world to take urgent action.
"This figure is just a fraction of the thousands of cases that are never reported either because of security conditions or because of a lack of knowledge of the existence of international mechanisms that can help," the UN chief said.
Providing details on these incidents in a strongly worded statement, the two UN mechanisms – the Committee on Enforced Disappearances and the Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances – called on States to establish and activate protocols for the immediate search of disappeared persons, in a systematic way, across the world.
The experts explained that the 246 recent cases of enforced disappearances that they had been working on over the past year "are a clear indication that this heinous practice is still used in a number of countries."
Those cases are nevertheless only the "tip of the iceberg" of thousands of cases which are never reported either because of fear of reprisals or because the security conditions do not allow doing so, they added, echoing the Secretary-General. The lack of resources and the insufficient awareness of existing international mechanisms are other reasons why many cases of enforced disappearances are never reported to the United Nations.
"Following the activation of the urgent actions procedures by the Working Group and the Committee on Enforced Disappearances over the last year, 13 disappeared persons were found alive, in detention, and sadly two were found dead," they revealed, stressing that the use of the "urgent action" procedures shows that in the case of enforced disappearance, time is of the essence.
"The hours and days that follow a disappearance are crucial to find the disappeared person alive. The actions taken in the immediate aftermath of a disappearance cannot be left to hazards but have to be systematized in protocols that permit the immediate activation of all means at disposal for the search of the disappeared."
With this in mind, the experts called on governments to take action as soon as a case of disappearance is reported to the authorities and all necessary measures to seek and find the disappeared person and to avoid irreparable harm.
"We equally urge governments to guarantee the full protection from all forms of reprisals of those who report cases of enforces disappearances, the authors of the urgent actions requests, the witnesses, and the relatives of the disappeared persons… [and] also encourage all those whose beloved ones have disappeared, as well as those acting on their behalf, to make use of the tool provided by the urgent action procedures.
By a resolution adopted in December 2010, the UN General Assembly welcomed the adoption of Convention and decided to declare 30 August the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances.
The Convention entered into force in 2010, has been signed by 93 States and ratified by 50, and provides a sound foundation for fighting impunity, protecting disappeared persons and their families and strengthening the guarantees provided by the rule of law – including investigation, prosecution, justice and reparation.

Amrita Pritam’s `Ode to Waris Shah’.. #Poetry
Amrita Pritam's `Ode to Waris Shah'.. #Poetry
Today (31st August) is Amrita Pritam's 96th birth anniversary.
Amrita Pritam (1919 – 2005) was one of the most prominent female writers and poets of our time. She published over seventy books – novels, short stories and poems.
Amrita Pritam was born into a Sikh family of "Gujranwala">. She was the only child of a school teacher and a poet. Her mother died when she was eleven. Amrita married at the age of 16, and divorced in 1960, at the age of 41.
At the time of Partition, in 1947, Amrita migrated to Delhi. After migration, she started writing primarily in Hindi, instead of her native Punjabi. She has authored two autobiographies, titled, Rasidi Ticket' and,
Aksharon ke Saaye'. Her novel, `Pinjar' (Skeleton) about the agonies of Partition riots, was also turned into a movie.
Amrita's impromptu capturing of the condition of
Ode to Waris Shah' is a call to the legendary Punjabi poet<!--, Waris Shah (1722 – 1798) whose
Heer' is considered the Bible ofPunjabi poetry. It is filled with allusions to Waris Shah's legendary work. She refers to Heer as the, "daughter of Punjab" (dhii Punjab di), and beseeches Waris Shah to step out of his grave and hear the partition cries of a million Heers. The poem also references many of the main characters of the Heer legend – Ranjha, his brothers, and Qaido (the villainous Uncle), comparing the attitudes of the Punjabis at the time of partition, to the evil acts of later.
My own understanding of pure Punjabi being severely limited, this translation would have been impossible without the inputs from Samina Rizwan, who researched the `Luddan' reference and came up with a plausible explanation. Also, her brother Umar Rafi who started it all by circulating his own translation, which I have used as a reference point.
Amrita Pritam passed away on 31st Oct 1995 at Delhi.
AN ODE TO WARIS SHAH – by Amrita Pritam
Aaj aakhaN Waris Shah nuuN, kitoN kabraaN vichchoN bol,
te aaj kitab-e ishq daa koii aglaa varkaa phol
Waris Shah, I beseech thee, speak up from your grave
To love's eternal treatise, please add another leaf
ik roii sii dhii punjaab dii, tuuN likh likh maare vaen,
aaj lakhaaN dhiiaaN rondiaa, tainuN waris shah nuN kahen
A single daughter wept once, you screamed out in protest
Today a million daughters weep and implore you, Waris Shah:
uTh dardmandaaN diaa dardiaa, uth takk apnaa Punjaab
aaj bele lashaaN bichhiaaN te lahu dii bharii chenab
Oh, voice of the anguished Arise, see the plight of your Punjab
The fields are lined with corpses, the Chenab flows red with blood
kise ne panjaN paniaN vichch dittii zahar ralaa
te unhaaN paniiaaN dharat nuuN dittaa paanii laa
Who has stirred this poison into our rivers' waters?
It is this very water that now irrigates our land
is zarkhez zamiin de luun luun phuttia zaher
gitth gitth charhiaaN laaliaN fuuT fuuT charhiaa kaher
This fertile land sprouts venom, from each and every pore
The sky has now turned crimson, from all these cries of gore
veh valliissii vha pher, van van vaggii jaa,
ohne har ik vans di vanjhalii ditti naag banaa
It's a terribly ill wind that rages through the woods
Transforming every bamboo-shoot into a deadly snake
pehlaa dang madaariaN, mantar gaye guaach,
dooje dang di lagg gayii, jane khane nuN laag
The very first snake-bite, and the charmer lost his spell
Yet every bite after that addicted them all the more..
laagaaN kiile lok muNh, bus phir dang hi dang,
palo palii punjaab de, neele pae gaye ang
Addicted to these waters, to be bitten again and again
See how the limbs of Punjab have turned blue with pain
gale'oN tutt'e geet phir, takaleon tuttii tand,
trinjanoN tuttiaaN saheliaaN, chaRakhRre ghuukar band
The songs have all been silenced, the cotton threads are snapped
The girls have fled the courtyards, the spinning wheels are mute
sane sej de beriaaN, luddaN dittiaaN rohr,
sane daliaan peengh aj, piplaaN dittii toR
The wedding beds and the boats have all been cast away
And the Pipal branch, the swing lies broken in disarray
jitthe vajdii sii phuuk pyaar dii, ve oh vanjhalii gayii guaach
raanjhe de sab veer aaj, bhul gaye uhadii jaach
The flute that just knew love, has been forever lost
Even Ranjha's brethren no longer know this art
dhartii te lahoo varsiyaa, kabraaN paiaaN choan,
preet diaaN shaahzaadiaaN, aaj vichch mazaaraaN roan
It's blood that's rained on this earth, seeping through the graves
The damsels that lie within them lie weeping in their shrouds
aaj sabbhe 'Qaido' ban gaye, husn ishq de chor
aaj kitthoN liaaiye labbh ke waris shah ik hor
Today there are just Qaidons, looters of beauty, love
Today, where shall we find another Warish Shah?
aaj aakhaN waris shah nuuN, kitoN kabraan vichchoN bol,
te aaj kitaab-e ishq daa, koii aglaa varkaa phol
Waris Shah, I beseech thee, speak up from your grave
To love's eternal treatise, please add another leaf

Press Release – Land Ordinance Withdrawal : Defeat of Company Sarkaar, Victory of People’s Movements Struggle
Press Release – Land Ordinance Withdrawal : Defeat of Company Sarkaar, Victory of People's Movements Struggle
New Delhi, August 31 : The announcement by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi in his mann kee baat that NDA government won't re-promulgate the land ordinance symbolises the victory of people's movements. Since the time government promulgated land ordinance in the last week of December 2014, farmers and peasants, forests dwellers, adivasis and numerous others have showed their steadfast opposition to the ordinance and demanded no less than repeal of the Ordinance. NAPM in its submission to the Joint Parliamentary Committee not only demanded the withdrawal of the Ordinance but also asked for addition of many other provisions to the 2013 Act, which will protect land rights and also address the woes and sufferings of the millions who have been displaced in the country in name of development and national interest, post independence.
On face of it, Bihar Elections are being said as the reason for this political decision; however, it is the massive opposition to the corporate designs of the Modi government by the people of this country, which has forced the government to reverse its decision. Political parties in opposition have played a crucial role inside the Parliament but ultimately it is the strength of the people's movements and farmers organisations on the ground which has forced the government to take back the ordinance.
Now that it is clearly proved that this government will go to any lengths in order to please its corporate masters, it remains the primary onus of people's movements to ensure a constant vigilance on attempts of endangering the rights and livelihoods of millions of India's agricultural workers and farmers. What remains to be seen is proper implementation of LARR 2013 at the state-level and not encourage them to bypass the Central Act and frame their own legislations as done by the State of Gujarat and Odisha. The Central government needs to ensure that the LARR 2013 is uniformly applied to states and the rights of the people are protected.
Even as we wait for the government to come up with the notification on application of 2013 Act to 13 central Acts, we also look forward to the report of the Join Parliamentary Committee, which debated and discussed the submissions made by different stakeholders, majority of which rejected the proposals of the government.
We are aware of the dangers posed by this government and are prepared to fight their nefarious designs to promote corporate loot of the natural resources. From the banks of Narmada we have called for National Bhu Adhikaar jan Vikas Yatra across the country and we will mobilise the masses to stand up for their rights as Narmada Bachao Andolan have done for last thirty years. We will not only let any forcible acquisition happen but also we will protest any attempt to forcibly displace people in name of public interest, which is most often private interest now, in rural or urban areas.

मेहमान तै प्याज इलै खलाये जांद किलैकि भित्र प्याज इ बच्युं छौं।
सौकार -अमीर आदिम बरात्यूं स्वागत प्याजै माळा से करदो।

प्याज की सच्चे हृदय से स्तुति करिल तो अवश्य ही प्याज प्राप्ति होली।
जू प्याज की प्रशंसा नि कर सकदन वू कैकि बि प्रशंसा नि कर सकदन
हे अर्जुन ! तू प्याज से मुख मोड़ ! अवश्य ही तू कौरव सेना तै जीत लेली
तू एक प्याज देगा तो वो दस प्याज देगा
प्याज पाणै भावना सबसे बलवती भावना च या भावना हौर भावनाओं तै धराशायी कर दींदी
यद्यपि मि गरीब छौं , निर्धन छौं , उपेक्षित छौं फिर बि भगवान का भोग मि प्याज से लगांदु
