मन
तुम से झगड़ते हुए गुजारा है हम ने भी कई साल,
तुम्हे सम्भल्ते हुए भी देखा है लड़खड़ाते हम हर बार,
यह नादानीयत ही था उम्र का थकने एवं थमने मे का राज,
जब होश ना खोना कभी केवल एक इत्तिफाक सा होता था |
तुम्हे पढ़ते हुए गुजारा है हमने भी कई रात |
बुलन्द कर आवाज तुम्हे पुकारा भी हर बार |
अफ्सोस बचपन तो थम गया था मगर मै भीड़ और रफ्तार मे कहीं खो गया था तुम्हे पा कर खोने के बाद |

Racoon 19.
The messenger of death roameth everywhere and fear resides in my heart thus these days.
Within every stranger a suspect and every friend a stranger it seems.
What great tidings doth thy coffin bear as thou covers us thus?
A mist dispossessed and the environ bland, your character alas paints no image and a clear glass it is and redundant thus the looking glass.
The wind a mute, the wayfarer too by thy might and slaughter when attired was the slain soul's since vacated silenced home.
Unidentified every grave and unknown the cemetry laid bare are of the fearless who dared your happenstance.
The homeless dearer on food, unarmed the medic with meds and the antics of the profiteer stand akimbo over the night when long gone were to be they before the dirt on their clothes.
Lest the shrivelled flesh be traded or a prospect seem for the politician to beg for another breath; dark alleys,desolate streets and a city silenced with no shrill of birds either, shriek only the corpses proclaiming that death lurks here.
Testimony thy goose bumps and stuttering stand to your compulsive crime when the line of fate and heart on your palm remain but cross and conscience too at large.
The never ending absconders, the corporate sponsored chaperone of wayward souls,the war mongers, the spiritual marauders and the illegitimate courts of law remain but beads strung in a necklace by a Planet in destructive mode.
When aroused shall mankind,bloometh when thy kind and speaketh thee nature's parlance ?
When ceaseth shall thy planetary pillage,when thy murderous hand on all species,when shall it dawn of thy nascent evolution and when shall flow the rivers unobstructed and regain the breeze their wings;howl then o mankind thy cries for the forests, the rivers and the land of the free.
An ode to kindness are we,indebted to the elements,an inseparable organ of the cosmos,explorers of the soul,free from the bonds of birth and death, conscious beyond cremation,through sex to superconsciousness in this mystic world whence salvation is ; life abound in every breath.

एक भय सा लगने लगा है आज कल जहाँ हर राही किसी का मौत लिए कहीं मंडरा राहा है |
यहाँ हर अन्जान भी दोषित और मित्र अन्जान लगने लगा है |
क्या है तुम्हारा फितरत जो सबको कफन पहनाने लगे हो ?

Re:
Repeated Assaults By Individuals under Manali P.S Himachal Pradesh INDIA.
Respected
Sirs and Madams,
I,
presently work for a social enterprise called Babbage Paper in my capacity of
Founder/Co-Founder, which is an informative newsletter cum electronic paper
with the backdrop of Combating Climate Change. Our presence is mostly virtual
but being a nascent and start-up of a venture involving the social domain at
all concerned portals, our physical presence has been thus more prominent esp.
given our indulgence in the last three years in community work and the horribly
snail pace; having discovered that life in the mountains is difficult and slow
learners do take some time esp. when age is not quite on your side and risk to
life and liberty are principal components which ought not be disregarded. We,
in our incognito cum insignificant capacity are striving to win a lost war on
the climate front I, definitely feel since the tipping point having occurred in
the 80s and the climate proponents suggestion of resurgent economies too for
the estimated periods only worsened the situation besides the gross failure of
climate talks vis a vis commitments and discussions equally so on the credit
front included therewith the demand for double credits too. The results of the
Paris Summit, we may have to wait for in the absence of complete participatory
dialogues but largely, our concerns as a race in 2016 ought be Clean Air, Clean
Water, Clean Food and Clean Energy.
In my capacity of Founder, Co-Founder
at Lexus Indicus (a research based legal hub in continuation of erstwhile
litigation et al during my infancy years in the legal profession), Sanskriti
Initiatives (a not for profit center during my years as a Practicing Advocate
and later), Mudrika Alluvium (a sustainability platform, where the initial
indulgence was international trade on the sustainability platform for about two
years) and presently since the last three years, Babbage Paper (an informative
newsletter cum electronic paper with the backdrop of combating climate change);
I have endeavored and strived to stand for the forests,animals,rivers and
children and am reiterating my stand which I had taken before the officials of
Home Ministry and the MEA, who had come to interrogate my activities with authority;
I assume. Even if they did not have, I would not be the slightest bit surprised,
given the situation of a complete failure of law and order through the entire country.
I, admittedly did inform the Department of Forests, the Police Department, the
Gram Panchayat, the German Embassy and most certainly, the MEA post a physical
attack on me vis a vis the same and earlier situations where my electrical
connection was severed in the midst of a really harsh winter. There was little
action from anyone’s part save the Forest Department who erected a board
stating the dos and donts inside the protected manali wildlife sanctuary. The
afore incidents were not isolated ones and I certainly do not see or read them
as such. (Communications dated 01.02.2015 and 16.04.2015 are on record)
A
successive attack was made on me again on 05.10.2015 by a person (Called Palu &
official name unknown) who is a stranger to me but related to the family whose
tenant I was. I was suffering from acute conjunctivitis (unless there were
discreet misdeeds by the people around to indicate otherwise with Med Report
dated 01.10.2015 on record herein) and was blind for a phase before the
incident and almost after the first blow to my eyes. The assailant knew exactly
where to hit, that I was almost blind and had indeed come more than prepared
satisfying all requisite elements for mens rea. My life got saved due to timely
intervention by my friend cum colleague, Debrah Huber when he was looking for a
rock to crush my head on with the weight of his body and arms. A visit to the
Government Dispensary led to my case being qualified a Medico Legal Case and
the next natural ascend or descend happened to be the Manali Police Station.
The Police on that very day inspite of seeing me battered as hell suggested (principally,
ASI Sh. Prem Singh) that I accompany a constable to the assailant’s house
impound or arrest and produce the character before the Police. All that was
expected of me was to pay the fare of the auto-rickshaw, it was quipped. A
stand that I did not wish to initiate any legal recourse through the Police or
the Government of Himachal Pradesh or the Union Of India was well conveyed and
the primary reason for doing so was indeed to avoid any further contact with
anti-social elements and their cohorts in all hues. At the Lady Willingdon Hospital,
where I had to go for getting my x-rays done as the concerned technician was
away or the machine itself had broken down; I find it highly imperative to
state that my records were tweaked, my head was forcibly turned the other way
inspite of repeated requests seeking a befitting examination. A member of the
Panchayat even approached me at the very Hospital to deter me from doing any
community work or even staying in the Old Manali Village. On a successive visit,
the assailant turns up at the LWH with a semi dead person and with some goons he
tried threatening my friend, Debrah Huber who was waiting outside the x-ray room.
The doctors on attendance were also duly informed of the same; a policeman who
was present therein to investigate the cause of accident and a repeated
examination that day met the same fate. Imperative it is to state that Sh. Shivdayal
Thakur with his mother were also present that day at the Hospital. Information
about the gross anomaly in medical examination and reports was conveyed later
to the Director and the Bishop under whose aegis and the CNI (Church Of North
India), the institution functions. Nothing came of the e-mails except a reply
which said they were all right about everything all throughout. An application
under the Right To Information was duly filed by me seeking a photocopy or
certified copy of the hand written Information which I had provided to the
Police and sadly enough, it still awaits with my due iteration that I certainly
did not wish to pursue any legal recourse and the primary reason I hope it
would be safe for me to say that the element of trust was indeed missing
entirely. (RTI Application to SDM on 03.12.2015,Endorsement Date: 06.12.2015,
RTI Intimation Date 16/17.12.2015 and Visit to Manali P.S on date 18.12.15 vis
a vis my RTI Application remain such). The reasons forwarded by the landlord’s
family and conveyed equally to the Police were:
a) I
have too many friends and some to the sheer annoyance of the landlord’s family
belonged to the lower caste and specifically Harijans while the rest besides
the non-irritant ones were foreigners,
b.) I break bread with them and sleep over at
times at their places. This could have been their best excuse when the entire
nation is up in arms against each other while ensuring that the Brahminical
Order is demolished and the Brahmin eliminated. This has been quote unquote
made to go viral on the web and it is not the figment of my imagination which
makes me write such debasing situations and circumstances. Himachal Pradesh is
promoted heavily on the tourist circuit as the Land Of The Gods, besides many a
historical reasons, which may not strangely find much support anthropologically,
given the current populace of the villages. Things do undergo changes like
people and the exertion of might finds its due place in their character. Bihar,
has witnessed these caste wars wherein the Rajputs practically raised an army
called the Ranbir Sena and caste clashes have left hundreds and hundreds dead
in the state. I fear, Himachal Pradesh is treading no different a path and is
doomed towards absolute anarchy and cultural impoverishment should this be the
setting trend and strangely enough, it seems to have been so. The Brahmins to
be eradicated so all can go upscale is clearly an aberration of thought and a
call of arms to burn all scriptures, simplify or nullify practices as to
abolish the Puranas, Vedas and the Upanishads besides many an epic and
scripture is clearly not the need of the hour. People do migrate from villages
and regions into another and find suitable housing where they may be accepted
and sociological orders have indeed been the most prominent in terms of a sect
of the populace huddling together too. The village was adopted by the Office of
the Prime Minister and requisite data concerning the same should not be too
difficult a task to establish the practices between the original settlers and
the present ones, especially when it comes to either a reference to the
Ramayanas or the Manu Smriti and most importantly figures as Sage Vashist or
Sage Vyasa.As the bearers of the Upanishads, we would be akin to being curious.
The Apex Court has always kept its doors open for everyone and when the rights
to perform rituals are questioned, without a sign of protest most temples through
out India have had to fling open their doors to achieve equality. We, indeed
are a developing country in terms of economic stature before the world
communities but going by the invasions over the years, we have been reduced to
nothing but some genetic aberrations which unchecked can consume the human kind.
A
third reason forwarded directly by the Panchayat Member aforementioned has been
my repeated communications on Forest Violations which ought not be my concern
apparently while the final one forwarded by the family of the landlord has also
been that with reasons sufficing all the above sans the third one, I dared to
negotiate for a traditional house in the village. The people who owned land
supposedly in the vicinity of Shiva Cottage at Old Manali Village and the reason
for the continuous lurking around esp. prior to the assault have been Budhram
Thakur, Shivdayal Thakur and Jindoram Thakur whose relative attacked me in the
presence (the second time on the same day) of Budhram Thakur’s daughter and Jindoram
Thakur’s daughter’s son, I believe after their arrival post a frantic telephonic
or mobile call made by Debrah Huber to Tehali Devi, the daughter of my landlord
during the attack. Both of those summoned namely Tehali Devi and Chandan stood
spectators to the merciless thrashing carried out against their request as a
show of spectacle which they had initially missed.
The Police escorted me
later and A.S.I Sh. Prem Singh insisted that I come along while there was snow all
around and his insistence had been strong. I had never coerced the Police nor
am I an influential person or with adequate cash to bribe anybody to discharge
their initial duties. Another gentleman from the P.S accompanied us though I
never got to speak to the Officer In-Charge nor do I think he ever really
worked on the case as the Police is known or expected to as per rule at the
first instance. I was offered a cup of tea with biscuit and made to have it
inspite of my reluctance and find it most imperative to state that there indeed
is a phase of that accompaniment with the Police at the residence of Jindoram
Thakur which I do not remember assuming I may have passed out. From the
recollections of prior and post, the Policeman Sh. Prem Singh fell at Jindoram
Thakur’s feet and started exchanging sweet pleasantries while Jindoram Thakur
kept jabbing and threatening in his uncouth tone of speech. I am not given to
interacting with the lowliest and have never faltered on rentals to Budhram
Thakur while it is imperative to state equally that Jindoram Thakur has a water
pipe running through the apple orchard while there is no way demarcated to a
piece of land he stakes claim to. May be his, may not be his and answers to
these and more can only be provided by agencies through the Police and the SDM,
should there have been the exploitation of a Quasi Judicial remedy in
perfection et al of title or valid cum invalid appropriation through the office
of the D.C too. A final reason, the contentious water pipe forwarded by the
family of Jindoram Thakur seems too inadequate for the scale of offence and
sequence of events being as it is, an inter family contention and a direct
offence against the State. The Head policeman of the station was in fact
present outside the office of the SDM on the day of my application under the
RTI concerning the ascertainment of the information provided to the Police.
We, admittedly are not from the State of Himachal Pradesh and
would not want to be the slightest bit where there are full fledged caste and
economic tussles going on and neither have I nor any of my ancestors been ever
taught or been oriented through the method of instruction of Urdu or
Zaban-e-Dehlvi as Amir Khusro has been noted to quote. The problem of course as
I understand is that the war of hatred sweeping through the entire nation is
because of the threat which looms large over those whose ancestors managed to
flee persecution from those whose families were not so fortunate. It is wrong
ethically and morally to quip on a sect a few of whom could give all a bad name
but to even vaguely be able to explain the correct position of things so all
benefit with those responsible either sent to the gallows or behind bars
forever particularly on suo-motu circumstances whence hobnobbing with the
lowest of the lowliest may not quite be any of our interests. The agencies of
the State especially when it comes to Law & Order which undoubtedly is
foremost a state subject, ought be our foremost guardian and protector while we
stand guaranteed by the Constitution under Article 19 to reside anywhere and
pursue any occupation throughout the territory of India et al, particularly
those which seem to have gone into a state of utter aberration, incidents as
these startle us and only make us wonder about our next course of action to
save not such people or States but our very own Nation which we have strived
real hard to resurrect.
I have suffered irreparable damage
to my jaw and eyes and treatment being expensive may be difficult unless the
State intervenes and ensures through all it’s agencies to make rectificatory
amends between the fine lines of pecuniary and ordinary detentions included
therewith preventive too. I have changed residence and now reside in a village
called Vashist on the other side of Village Old Manali.My present landlord is a
gentleman who I believe belongs to a lower caste though I have never bothered
to ask him his caste. I would never give a damn about these things especially
when one of the causes I can most proudly flaunt is activism for a sect who are
Moslems.They are my brethren and I would always and forever stand by them not
because of any reason but the fact that they are a sect who are either defunct
or were born so on account of genetic mutations caused by the Bhopal gas tragedy.
It is another lost war we are consistently striving to fight and to top it all,
there only seem to be more deformities and deaths every year since 1984.There
has to be a rational to such errant behavior and state supported vandalism cum
character assassinations. My friend cum colleague at Babbage Paper whose
registration as an initial sec25 and now sec 8 company is still being worked
upon by us and in the last few years, I have made no money at all save in my
individual capacity to keep the venture and myself going especially post a
colleague’s resignation too. All savings are gone and deterred not the least
bit am I.I am presently rather trying to raise adequate funds for community
work in Nepal through Art and We, certainly hope to exceed the targeted sums.
Nepal, has been known to give refuge to Brahmins and in my earnest desire to
survive amongst all that lawlessness has to offer, our failure of curbing
anti-social elements and particularly the Mafiosi which all the people named
herein are nothing short of, is becoming an embarrassment for us through the
entire Himalayan belt. It is no short of state sponsored terrorism and holding
the others ransom. The Army too, above whose establishment; the DRDO we reside
is being apprised similarly should state action fail and intend absolutely to
make this an open letter for all to be viewed including those who have a very
valid reason to challenge establishments not for reasons of maiming or killing
but to apprise all valid stake holders. This nation belongs to all and the
planet equally whence addressing issues of climate change and it is crucial for
those with the expertise to interfere or intervene. We, undoubtedly have become
a rogue state and the last nail in the coffin I hope we never get to learn is a
fallen Judiciary too.
I have recently returned from Nepal
after about four months post meetings with Government et al for continuing and
extending the work on climate issues et al and given the validity of all that I
have had to state and particularly the instant communication which is bound to
not go down too well with most mentioned herein, the instant endeavor is to
ensure that I am not tainted on the wrong side of the law should there be any
attempts on our lives, particularly mine while I reserve all rights towards
self defence.Any loss of life would be deeply regretted while undertaking in
absolute terms that I have little inclination to harm ,maim or kill any
individual/s , be they agents appointed by the State or Others while apprising
beforehand that should there be loss of lives at our end, the instant
communication may be kindly relied upon for any reference or affirmative
action.
I, personally do not expect any
action and nor am I seeking any but the right to conduct my personal practices
as a Brahmin ought not be a prickly issue for any of any colour and neither my
stand on issues which threaten the common good especially concerning animals or
wildlife if threatened; there is bound to be a discord and I would have no inhibitions
in seeking support from any such corner which is accorded under the due process
of Law. The recipients I would kindly request to take stock of the situations
at their own ends included therewith those in other Nations where the
yardsticks may be glaringly different. Mails marked at the earliest to the
German Embassy et al have returned undelivered and these are clearly signs of
tolerance and abetment if not direct insinuations against all and sundry by
those occupying exalted positions in and outside their countries of governance.
My reiteration of non action on any agencies’ part I standby, a continuity of
the fervent plea I had made to the Assailant when I was trying my level best to
keep him on the ground against his violent behavior which he wished to unleash
on Debrah Huber after she had to intervene to save my life. I am more than
grateful that he spared her in my state of blindness and my gratitude ends only
there. It does not extend to me and in my abilities to keep us safe from any
further injury or loss of life, I would hesitate not the least bit to either
handle a weapon, seek help or kill with even my bare hands should urgency
dictate so in complete defense even against any apprehension too with a very
specific iteration in the same breath that I continue to be a person who
practices and preaches Non-Violence as much as my testimony remains intact that
not a blow or strike had I ever returned in exchange. I have never compromised
on the issue at the Manali P.S as much was the indication of the Policeman
designated as ASI after the visit to the family of Jindoram Thakur may have
been while stating in absolute unequivocal terms that the cause of action
continuing with my permanent injuries and looming threat, there is no rule of
limitation from any rule book that can ever apply or be colourably also be made
applicable.
Kindly also find attached along with
copies of the communications, records and reports afore quipped while my
sincere apologies for the inconvenience which is deeply regretted may kindly be
accepted..
Thanking
You.

would be safe for me to say that the element of trust was indeed missing
entirely. (RTI Application to SDM on 03.12.2015,Endorsement Date: 06.12.2015,
RTI Intimation Date 16/17.12.2015 and Visit to Manali P.S on date 18.12.15 vis
a vis my RTI Application remain such). The reasons forwarded by the landlord’s
family and conveyed equally to the Police were:
a) I
have too many friends and some to the sheer annoyance of the landlord’s family
belonged to the lower caste and specifically Harijans while the rest besides
the non-irritant ones were foreigners,
b.) I break bread with them and sleep over at
times at their places. This could have been their best excuse when the entire
nation is up in arms against each other while ensuring that the Brahminical
Order is demolished and the Brahmin eliminated. This has been quote unquote
made to go viral on the web and it is not the figment of my imagination which
makes me write such debasing situations and circumstances. Himachal Pradesh is
promoted heavily on the tourist circuit as the Land Of The Gods, besides many a
historical reasons, which may not strangely find much support anthropologically,
given the current populace of the villages. Things do undergo changes like
people and the exertion of might finds its due place in their character. Bihar,
has witnessed these caste wars wherein the Rajputs practically raised an army
called the Ranbir Sena and caste clashes have left hundreds and hundreds dead
in the state. I fear, Himachal Pradesh is treading no different a path and is
doomed towards absolute anarchy and cultural impoverishment should this be the
setting trend and strangely enough, it seems to have been so. The Brahmins to
be eradicated so all can go upscale is clearly an aberration of thought and a
call of arms to burn all scriptures, simplify or nullify practices as to
abolish the Puranas, Vedas and the Upanishads besides many an epic and
scripture is clearly not the need of the hour. People do migrate from villages
and regions into another and find suitable housing where they may be accepted
and sociological orders have indeed been the most prominent in terms of a sect
of the populace huddling together too. The village was adopted by the Office of
the Prime Minister and requisite data concerning the same should not be too
difficult a task to establish the practices between the original settlers and
the present ones, especially when it comes to either a reference to the
Ramayanas or the Manu Smriti and most importantly figures as Sage Vashist or
Sage Vyasa.As the bearers of the Upanishads, we would be akin to being curious.
The Apex Court has always kept its doors open for everyone and when the rights
to perform rituals are questioned, without a sign of protest most temples through
out India have had to fling open their doors to achieve equality. We, indeed
are a developing country in terms of economic stature before the world
communities but going by the invasions over the years, we have been reduced to
nothing but some genetic aberrations which unchecked can consume the human kind.
A
third reason forwarded directly by the Panchayat Member aforementioned has been
my repeated communications on Forest Violations which ought not be my concern
apparently while the final one forwarded by the family of the landlord has also
been that with reasons sufficing all the above sans the third one, I dared to
negotiate for a traditional house in the village. The people who owned land
supposedly in the vicinity of Shiva Cottage at Old Manali Village and the reason
for the continuous lurking around esp. prior to the assault have been Budhram
Thakur, Shivdayal Thakur and Jindoram Thakur whose relative attacked me in the
presence (the second time on the same day) of Budhram Thakur’s daughter and Jindoram
Thakur’s daughter’s son, I believe after their arrival post a frantic telephonic
or mobile call made by Debrah Huber to Tehali Devi, the daughter of my landlord
during the attack. Both of those summoned namely Tehali Devi and Chandan stood
spectators to the merciless thrashing carried out against their request as a
show of spectacle which they had initially missed.
The Police escorted me
later and A.S.I Sh. Prem Singh insisted that I come along while there was snow all
around and his insistence had been strong. I had never coerced the Police nor
am I an influential person or with adequate cash to bribe anybody to discharge
their initial duties. Another gentleman from the P.S accompanied us though I
never got to speak to the Officer In-Charge nor do I think he ever really
worked on the case as the Police is known or expected to as per rule at the
first instance. I was offered a cup of tea with biscuit and made to have it
inspite of my reluctance and find it most imperative to state that there indeed
is a phase of that accompaniment with the Police at the residence of Jindoram
Thakur which I do not remember assuming I may have passed out. From the
recollections of prior and post, the Policeman Sh. Prem Singh fell at Jindoram
Thakur’s feet and started exchanging sweet pleasantries while Jindoram Thakur
kept jabbing and threatening in his uncouth tone of speech. I am not given to
interacting with the lowliest and have never faltered on rentals to Budhram
Thakur while it is imperative to state equally that Jindoram Thakur has a water
pipe running through the apple orchard while there is no way demarcated to a
piece of land he stakes claim to. May be his, may not be his and answers to
these and more can only be provided by agencies through the Police and the SDM,
should there have been the exploitation of a Quasi Judicial remedy in
perfection et al of title or valid cum invalid appropriation through the office
of the D.C too. A final reason, the contentious water pipe forwarded by the
family of Jindoram Thakur seems too inadequate for the scale of offence and
sequence of events being as it is, an inter family contention and a direct
offence against the State. The Head policeman of the station was in fact
present outside the office of the SDM on the day of my application under the
RTI concerning the ascertainment of the information provided to the Police.
We, admittedly are not from the State of Himachal Pradesh and
would not want to be the slightest bit where there are full fledged caste and
economic tussles going on and neither have I nor any of my ancestors been ever
taught or been oriented through the method of instruction of Urdu or
Zaban-e-Dehlvi as Amir Khusro has been noted to quote. The problem of course as
I understand is that the war of hatred sweeping through the entire nation is
because of the threat which looms large over those whose ancestors managed to
flee persecution from those whose families were not so fortunate. It is wrong
ethically and morally to quip on a sect a few of whom could give all a bad name
but to even vaguely be able to explain the correct position of things so all
benefit with those responsible either sent to the gallows or behind bars
forever particularly on suo-motu circumstances whence hobnobbing with the
lowest of the lowliest may not quite be any of our interests. The agencies of
the State especially when it comes to Law & Order which undoubtedly is
foremost a state subject, ought be our foremost guardian and protector while we
stand guaranteed by the Constitution under Article 19 to reside anywhere and
pursue any occupation throughout the territory of India et al, particularly
those which seem to have gone into a state of utter aberration, incidents as
these startle us and only make us wonder about our next course of action to
save not such people or States but our very own Nation which we have strived
real hard to resurrect.
I have suffered irreparable damage
to my jaw and eyes and treatment being expensive may be difficult unless the
State intervenes and ensures through all it’s agencies to make rectificatory
amends between the fine lines of pecuniary and ordinary detentions included
therewith preventive too. I have changed residence and now reside in a village
called Vashist on the other side of Village Old Manali.My present landlord is a
gentleman who I believe belongs to a lower caste though I have never bothered
to ask him his caste. I would never give a damn about these things especially
when one of the causes I can most proudly flaunt is activism for a sect who are
Moslems.They are my brethren and I would always and forever stand by them not
because of any reason but the fact that they are a sect who are either defunct
or were born so on account of genetic mutations caused by the Bhopal gas tragedy.
It is another lost war we are consistently striving to fight and to top it all,
there only seem to be more deformities and deaths every year since 1984.There
has to be a rational to such errant behavior and state supported vandalism cum
character assassinations. My friend cum colleague at Babbage Paper whose
registration as an initial sec25 and now sec 8 company is still being worked
upon by us and in the last few years, I have made no money at all save in my
individual capacity to keep the venture and myself going especially post a
colleague’s resignation too. All savings are gone and deterred not the least
bit am I.I am presently rather trying to raise adequate funds for community
work in Nepal through Art and We, certainly hope to exceed the targeted sums.
Nepal, has been known to give refuge to Brahmins and in my earnest desire to
survive amongst all that lawlessness has to offer, our failure of curbing
anti-social elements and particularly the Mafiosi which all the people named
herein are nothing short of, is becoming an embarrassment for us through the
entire Himalayan belt. It is no short of state sponsored terrorism and holding
the others ransom. The Army too, above whose establishment; the DRDO we reside
is being apprised similarly should state action fail and intend absolutely to
make this an open letter for all to be viewed including those who have a very
valid reason to challenge establishments not for reasons of maiming or killing
but to apprise all valid stake holders. This nation belongs to all and the
planet equally whence addressing issues of climate change and it is crucial for
those with the expertise to interfere or intervene. We, undoubtedly have become
a rogue state and the last nail in the coffin I hope we never get to learn is a
fallen Judiciary too.
I have recently returned from Nepal
after about four months post meetings with Government et al for continuing and
extending the work on climate issues et al and given the validity of all that I
have had to state and particularly the instant communication which is bound to
not go down too well with most mentioned herein, the instant endeavor is to
ensure that I am not tainted on the wrong side of the law should there be any
attempts on our lives, particularly mine while I reserve all rights towards
self defence.Any loss of life would be deeply regretted while undertaking in
absolute terms that I have little inclination to harm ,maim or kill any
individual/s , be they agents appointed by the State or Others while apprising
beforehand that should there be loss of lives at our end, the instant
communication may be kindly relied upon for any reference or affirmative
action.
I, personally do not expect any
action and nor am I seeking any but the right to conduct my personal practices
as a Brahmin ought not be a prickly issue for any of any colour and neither my
stand on issues which threaten the common good especially concerning animals or
wildlife if threatened; there is bound to be a discord and I would have no inhibitions
in seeking support from any such corner which is accorded under the due process
of Law. The recipients I would kindly request to take stock of the situations
at their own ends included therewith those in other Nations where the
yardsticks may be glaringly different. Mails marked at the earliest to the
German Embassy et al have returned undelivered and these are clearly signs of
tolerance and abetment if not direct insinuations against all and sundry by
those occupying exalted positions in and outside their countries of governance.
My reiteration of non action on any agencies’ part I standby, a continuity of
the fervent plea I had made to the Assailant when I was trying my level best to
keep him on the ground against his violent behavior which he wished to unleash
on Debrah Huber after she had to intervene to save my life. I am more than
grateful that he spared her in my state of blindness and my gratitude ends only
there. It does not extend to me and in my abilities to keep us safe from any
further injury or loss of life, I would hesitate not the least bit to either
handle a weapon, seek help or kill with even my bare hands should urgency
dictate so in complete defense even against any apprehension too with a very
specific iteration in the same breath that I continue to be a person who
practices and preaches Non-Violence as much as my testimony remains intact that
not a blow or strike had I ever returned in exchange. I have never compromised
on the issue at the Manali P.S as much was the indication of the Policeman
designated as ASI after the visit to the family of Jindoram Thakur may have
been while stating in absolute unequivocal terms that the cause of action
continuing with my permanent injuries and looming threat, there is no rule of
limitation from any rule book that can ever apply or be colourably also be made
applicable.
Kindly also find attached along with
copies of the communications, records and reports afore quipped while my
sincere apologies for the inconvenience which is deeply regretted may kindly be
accepted..
Thanking
You.
Yours Truly,
