Bollywood is a fatal attraction for Budding Talents

'All that Glitters is not Gold' -- A famous saying is apt for the glamour world whose outer layer shines whereas the inner layer is hollow. Young and bright minds enamored by the outer shine of Bollywood, get sucked into its hollowness. Their desire to achieve money, name and fame overpowers the negatives of the film industry.

Nepotism is the ideal word for Bollywood, where fifty year old Uncles, portraying as college students, are seen romancing with young heroines. They lack looks, acting skills and voice modulation, yet manage to get movies after movies. Meaningful cinema, where genuine talent could be spotted, is a thing of past.

The Directors & Producers are overdependent on the star power of a 'HERO' to achieve commercial success. Presentation of movie, grandeur of sets and get up of artists take precedence over scripts, dialogues, messaging and plot. Most Bollywood movies lack content and a strong story line. 

The directors copy ideas, transform them into a nicely-packaged waste and then present the final movie as an original artistic work. These shameless plagiarists then travel around the world boasting about the commercial success of their films. To please their funding masters, the producers place anti-India content, which is presented in a subtle manner to the audience.

Bollywood, therefore, is a propaganda machine, a DEN of sleaze, sex rackets, drugs & nepotism. It lacks originality and character in film-making and has become a platform to propagate anti-India agendas. It is nothing but a dumpyard for illicit wealth of goons, terrorists and underworld dons. These criminal minds care two hoots about talented artists. Established players receive funding from questionable sources. 

The lacklustre 'Starkids' are given preference over bright and talented actors. Talent is secondary but surname is mandatory. The so-called stakeholders of Bollywood have placed unethical BARRIERS for the entry of bright young talents. Creativity can fly a kite!!

This film industry stinks of selfishness, greed, duplicity and exploitation. The unexpected deaths of Divya Bharti, Sri Devi and now Sushant Singh Rajput (CBI enquiry can unravel the mystery surrounding Sushant Singh Rajput's death) are indicative of a much wider and deeper malaise within Bollywood. 

It would do a world of good if the entire Bollywood undergoes a cleansing process through impartial investigations by agencies.  

Pushpendra Kulshrestha - A Congi Mole within BJP?

Lets say that I am a nobody to comment on Pushpendra Kulshrestha (PK), in the same manner, PK has ZERO credibility (he is nobody) to comment on Dr Swamy. PK's track record suggests that he is fair weather friend of current government. PK could very well be a Congi mole disguised as a Hindutva speaker. 

And I am truly flabbergasted to see the responses of Hindus. Apart from making videos and giving speeches on Public events, what is PK's contribution towards Hindutva? 

Yes we do need warriors to speak in favor of Hindutva, however, it doesn't mean that we will accept anyone or everyone. Unfortunately, now days its like a popularity contest because anyone who speaks at a superficial level manages to get MAX eyeballs. 

Due to emergence of these fake warriors, people have lost sight of the real on ground fighters. Just because a public speaker comes across as a Hindutva well-wisher, he may not necessarily be a genuine well-wisher. However, these speakers, for their two minute fame, dilute the agenda of a meaningful and purposeful narrative for Hindu welfare. 

Before 2014, PK was struggling to fight his 'ISI agent' image in the public. He worked with Pak's Aaj TV and was bureau chief at its Delhi office. In 2010, once two ladies went to file a complaint with PK, then Secretary General of Press Club of India, Kulshrestha's response was outright derogatory and abusive. 

During Kulshreshtha's tenure at PCI, he was also charged with financial irregularities in the club. For two years, there was no audit of accounts done by Kulshrestha while the club was in a debt of ₹2 crores. Despite opposition from club members, PK went out of the way to appease Sonia Gandhi by giving her membership card. 

Post BJP victory, Pushpendra feared action and therefore, changed his strategy to be in the good books of BJP. To obtain protection, he became a superficial Hindutva warrior. Such a man is hobnobbing across the country by donning Hindutva Hat and worse is gullible Hindus believing him to be a genuine warrior.

Rise in petrol and diesel prices will neutralize Greenshoots in economy

Even after 70 years of independence, the GHOST of British legacy continues to haunt our country in the form of policies that subdue aspirations of native Indians. The administrative structure and prevailing governance system reflects the same mindset as that of British, where government is the ruling class and citizens are mere subjects of the ruling class. What else explains the brazen hike in petrol and diesel prices by the government on account of increased taxes??  

Since Modi's rise to power in 2014, taxes on diesel prices have increased five times whereas those on petrol have doubled. Taxes on these fuels now comprise nearly 66.67% of retail prices at petrol pumps. 

In May 2020, when global crude oil prices had reached record lows, the government increased excise duty on petrol and diesel by ₹10 per litre and ₹13 per litre respectively. Since additional burden of excise duty was absorbed by oil marketing companies, retail oil prices didn't witness any increase. Nonetheless, raising excise duty in the midst of lock-down reflected utter insensitivity of the government.

Since Unlock 2, oil marketing companies have begun to increase prices to recover losses incurred due to excise duty hike in May. Therefore, root cause of current spike is government decision of increasing excise duty. With recent spurt in gasoline retail prices, India has emerged as the most expensive country for petrol consumption in Asia.

Historically, governments have kept diesel prices lower, however, BJP government has moved a step further by making diesel prices comparable to that of petrol. From a macro perspective, hike in diesel prices will hurt the economy more because diesel is a significant input component for industries.  

Sectorally, agriculture and auto & trucking sector will be worst impacted due to the current decision of OMCs. In fact, major stakeholders such as farmers and truck operators are bracing for a considerable monetary suffering in a short-term period. With increased cost of transportation and subdued demand, the truckers are left with no option but to bear the burden of price hike. 

Agricultural activities such as tilling, harvesting and transportation of farming output are dependent on diesel. Any increase in diesel price will have a direct bearing on the retail prices of vegetables and fruits. This will result in 'Cost-Push' supply inflation within next three to four months.

According to Bloomberg, recent increases in excise duty will help the government to earn revenues up to US$ 30 billion this year. As the revenues don't translate into proportionate level of services for common citizens, gap between promise and delivery will become more pronounced. 

In an uncertain environment, increase in gasoline prices reflects a poor policy decision which will aggravate macro-economic issues over the next two years.

Another land grab case by Congress in Mumbai; Associated Journals Ltd is the front face

Congress list of scams is a never ending pit, the more we dig, the more filth comes out of it. The endless list of scams with disproportionate levels of corruption is a story of greed and abuse of power for selfish interests. 

Recently unearthed documentary evidence shows a typical land grabbing case of Congress in Bandra East, Mumbai. As per the docs, gross irregularities were found starting from acquisition of land till its final use. 

In 1983, Congress acquired a 3,500 square metre of land at dirt cheap rates under the pretext of building a hostel for students from backward classes. This acquisition was based on an earlier proposal, as per which a hostel was to be constructed (on this land) for providing accommodation to SC and ST students.

Seventeen years later, in complete violation of existing norms, Congress built a commercial building over the land meant for a social purpose. Even though, maximum allowable limit for construction was 20,000 square feet (sft), a commercial building was constructed over 80,000 sft of land. 

At 2017 land prices, the estimated worth of the land is at a whopping ₹262 crores. ED has already attached this property which was acquired by Congress through Associated Journals ltd.

Apart from land use violations, the terms of agreement between Congress and government were altered to make it favorable for Gandhis. As per rules, revenues generated through commercial use of such buildings is to be shared in 50:50 ratio between government and owner. In the Bandra land case, the deal was sweetened in favour of Gandhis who received 70% whereas, the government received the remaining.

Clearly, Congress' fight for equality and justice is also a complete sham. Issues like inequity among social classes are only meant to fill up the coffers of those who proclaim to be fighting for such causes. So much for Dalit Rights!!

National Herald Scam

The scam was exposed by Dr Subramanian Swamy in the year 2012. According to Dr Swamy, the Congress had committed serious fraud in the acquisition of Associated Journals Ltd (AJL) by its own company Young Indian Ltd (YIL). Through this acquisition, Congress, under Sonia Gandhi, wished to grab AJL's real estate properties across India. Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Oscar Fernandez, Motilal Vohra and Sam Pitroda are the masterminds of National Herald scam. 

For the first time, in the history of independent India,  Gandhis were forced to appear in the court of law and plead for bail like normal criminals in 2015. This was possible only due to single-handed efforts of Dr Swamy. 

CBI enquiry can unravel the mystery surrounding Sushant Singh Rajput's death

The so-called suicide of Sushant Singh Rajput has raised fresh debates over the current state of Bollywood in our country. The untimely departure of a promising and talented actor is mired in many controversies. As to why an actor like Rajput would really commit suicide?

Despite being an outsider, Rajput had made a mark in the industry. With films like Kai Po Che, MS Dhoni - The untold story and Chhichhore, SS Rajput had proved to be a very good actor. Most of his films were distinctive from the usual love stories of Bollywood yet these movies were commercially successful. Rajput, therefore, was an out-of-box and original actor. 

Sushant Singh Rajput also took avid interest into science and technology, social services, self defense for women and preparing children for ISRO/NASA. His past track record and future plans reflect an optimistic and imaginative mind which is ready to fulfill thousand other dreams. His decision to commit suicide is a one-eighty degree turn which defies all logic. It doesn't fit in well with Rajput's scheme of things.

Hailing from a small town in Bihar, SS Rajput  made it big in Bollywood due to his acting talent. He was emerging as a cut above others and just when he was about to change the rules of the game, we lost him. Bollywood biggies and their so-called 'Starkids' naturally felt threatened by Rajput's rise to glory.

Moreover, post suicide behavior of these celebrities is nothing but a scripted drama to throw dirt in the eyes of public. Their personal conduct and attitude towards Rajput, when he was alive, is contradictory to their fake condolence messages on social media.  

Underworld's murky influence in Rajput's death can't be ruled out. According to Ex-Raw officer, NK Sood, SS Rajput didn't commit suicide, rather he was murdered. Sood has made some brutal claims on Rajput's murder, highlighted as below:

• Just one month prior to Rajput's death, he changed sims 50 times as he was continuously receiving death threats. 
• Many times, Rajput slept in his car fearing that someone might intrude his home to kill him.
• A day before his demise, the CCTV cameras at his apartment complex were shut off. 
• The duplicate keys of Rajput's apartment are missing.
• SS Rajput's girl friend, Rhea Chakraborty, close friend, Sandip Singh and his servant were aware about the turmoil in the life of the late actor, however they stayed quiet.
• Rhea Chakraborty was living with SS Rajput and just few days before his death, she shifted out of the apartment.
• Sandip Singh, a small time director, was tracking Rajput's daily activities and passing on crucial info to few biggies in Bollywood

Above claims are subject to proper scrutiny and investigation by the agencies, however, Mumbai Police is already showing signs of sloth. Even though Police claims it to be a suicide, the late actor didn't leave any suicide note before his death. In the absence of a suicide note, the reason for suicide is not clearly established. 

Given these developments, Dr Swamy has requested his legal team to look into the untimely death of SS Rajput. Dr Swamy also supports CBI enquiry as this is a high-profile case, which may help to identify and trace Bollywood's links with underworld.

Declare Ram Sethu as a National Heritage Site to protect it from anti-Hindu forces

Ram Setu is not just a matter of belief for Hindus, it is our history that needs to be preserved at any costs. Technically, it is a chain of limestone shoals that connects Rameshwaram (in India) with Mannar Islands (in Sri Lanka). As per our historical records, Shri Ram had built Ram Setu to rescue his wife Sita from the clutches of Ravana. The bridge led to the glorious victory of Shri Ram over Ravana and therefore, has significant historical relevance for Hindus.

Ram Setu is a technological marvel, a superhuman scientific advancement of that era. Shri Ram had built this bridge with the help of two engineers in his Army, namely Nal and Neel. Contemporary scientific community accepts Ram Setu to be a man-made bridge, and therefore, it is a solid evidence of glorious Hindu past that still reverberates in the hearts of Hindus. 

Existence of such an evidence is an eyesore for anti-Hindu forces, which constantly target Hindu monuments and sites to destroy proof of Hindu history. In 2007, then UPA government, under the instructions of Sonia Gandhi, had ordered dredging of Ram Setu despite opposition from scientific community and Hindu leaders like late Ashok Singhal ji (VHP). When all hope was lost, Dr Swamy had come to the rescue and filed a petition with Supreme Court to obtain a stay on dredging. 

The stay provided a much needed 'BREATHER' to Hindus during Congress rule and with BJP's rise to power in 2014, Hindus were hopeful to achieve a permanent solution of this matter. Dr Swamy appealed his own government to declare 'Ram Setu' as a 'National Heritage site' so that it can be protected from any dredging attempt in future. More than six years have passed and BJP government hasn't yet fulfilled Dr Swamy's demand of declaring Ram Setu as a national heritage site. 

Just recently, DMK MP, TR Baalu had written a detailed letter to PM Modi urging him to revive Sethu Samudram Shipping Canal Project (SSCP), which requires dredging of Ram Setu. DMK, a rabidly anti-Hindu party, is following an anti-Hindu agenda yet BJP, a Hindutva party, is showing confusion in offering Hindu welfare. 

Ministry of Culture has already cleared the files for the declaration of Ram Setu as 'National Heritage', however, the files are pending approval from PM's end. All it needs is PM Modi's signature and Ram Setu will become a protected site. 

BJP needs a Saarthi to sail through the current crisis

Time and again this question has come up among nationalists and patriots as to why Modi is not taking help from Dr Swamy to resolve the existing mess. Our country is facing crisis on multiple fronts such as Covid-19, economy and India-China face-off, however, Modi govt seems reluctant to take help of nationalistic intellectuals like Dr Swamy.

PM Modi's current team is clueless about tackling the emerging challenges of the country. Whether it is economy, health, defense or foreign policy, Modi cabinet is falling short of public expectations. Even though BJP delivered on Article 370, Ram Mandir and CAA, such changes were an outcome of 30 years of physical and mental struggle of many volunteers, strongly backed by intellectual inputs of Dr Swamy and other seasoned leaders. 

However unexpected events of 2020 have brought a new range of issues for the ruling dispensation. The government is traversing the unknown territory, which will be a real test of Modi’s administrative skills, innovative thinking and preparedness for unforeseen eventualities. Till now, the tackling of new challenges has been below par and the government seems to be in dire need of radical ideas which can lift the sentiment. 

Time has come for Modi and his team to walk the talk, reduce rhetoric and produce results. 

Spreading false narratives with the help of friendly mainstream media and social media channels will only yield short-term relief. Since these narratives are merely spins, the current challenges will persist and may take an uglier form in the future. With each passing day, the current level of uncertainty will increase the odds against the present government to win future elections. 

The party needs to look at problems with fresh perspectives or bring in someone who can do the job. It needs a navigator (a Saarthi) who can visualize future scenarios, build back-up plans and execute them accordingly. Since our country is facing a war-like scenario from internal & external enemies, a saarthi like Dr Swamy could turn adversity into opportunity. Apart from an eminent economist and lawyer, Dr Swamy's views as a geo-strategist will provide India an edge over other nations. Any delay or confusion in this regard will backfire and dent our country's image in Global arena. Recent case of Italian Marines is a reflection of the current mess that unnecessarily lowers India's dignity. 

A sharp turnaround isn't impossible if the government seeks solutions with an honest and humble mind, however, staying aloof will magnify existing problems.
