THE RIVER @ GREENATHON II

SUBERNEREKHA-OUR RIVER OF GOLD GREENATHON II

The Slide Show with audio inputs presented at NDTV’s Greenathon I was subsequently sent to the Honourable Chief Justice,Jharkhand High Court;His Excellency The Governor of Jharkhand and Sh. Saryu Rai formerly the local Legislative Representative from Jamshedpur West on the 25th Day Of August 2009 along with a WRITE-UP.Attempts to the office of Sh. Saryu Rai to obtain a copy of the WRITE UP since we had misplaced ours have been inconsequential to that extent since the receipt of the couriered envelope, the contents of the CD containing the 4 min. 23 sec. Slide show and equally important contents of the write up have ofcourse been never responded to for reasons that we may hopefully understand someday.
The WRITE-UP in brevity suggested the following:
Litigation over environmental abuse benefits none except polluters and vested interests till adequate adjudication and even later especially when the process is irreversible.The magnanimity of the blow to the environment can only be minimised through consensus vide compliance by dumping earth on the slag and a forestry program in its true sense persued thereon by Tata Steel and Jusco in the embankment concerned skirting the Lease Area and most importantly where a Water Management Scheme of about Rupees Seventy Crores has been awarded(www.juscoltd.com/ground-breaking.asp) to Jusco(a 100% subsidiary of Tata Steel) to provide water which would be drawn from the River Subernerekha .A forestry program on both the embankments with the aid of the Govt Agencies,the Tata Group Of Companies and the Forest Dept. would only make us see the light of the day by converting the stretch through which the River passes in Jamshedpur into a “GREEN CHANNEL” ensuring effectively thereby the requisite volume in the catchment area and most importantly greater volumes flowing downstream to other areas which genuinely need the RIVER to support the ecological balance,all life forms that depend on it and the Rice Bowl of the region besides the RIVER passing through Other States.
The innauguration of the Water Management Scheme was incidentally a few days later and our testimony to the companionship of our former legislative representative and the former Governor to the innaugural ceremony in the same vehicle on a day when Mr Prashant Bhushan, Sr. Counsel Supreme Court Of India was being awaited at the Court for some greater insight into Transparency,Accountability and Respect;in the backdrop of the fact that none ever responded would ever elude all Green Warriors.Mr. Saryu Rai’s efforts towards initiating the Water management Scheme, his involvement towards resurrecting the entire course of the River Subernerekha;the State under President’s Rule,the Governor as the Singular Head and the Honble’ Chief Justice under whose aegis we expect true democracy to survive made them the natural receipients of the CD and the WRITE-UP.
Our campaign we shall persue till resurrection and corporate accountability we shall endlessly certainly invoke and hound.The present initiative we are forwarding to other organisations and institutions too who have witnessed and withstood the might of corporations in an era of civilisation,treaties,conventions, protocols,legislations and sanctions vide the Rule of Law.Imperative enough we feel to iterate that several deaths have occurred in slag dumps in Jamshedpur when craters cave in too.Those unreported, we continue our campaign in tribute of those too and a Greener Revolution while making further suggestion that people along the RIVER who may need to be rehabilitated be involved in the Upkeep of the RIVER,the Forestry Program and also the Water Management Scheme which collectively are the belongings of the Community and no single individuals’ for their proximity to Polluters,Abusers, Their Agents or Corporations themselves who have returned little to Society and the Nation at large except deception and blatant violation of environmental notwithstanding Societal norms.
Dr.Prannoy Roy(NDTV),Dr. Pachauri,Mr.K.Rajagopal,Mr.Chibber(TERI) were the receipients of the Slide Show at NDTV’s GREENATHON I.

'NO' IS ALL IT TAKES.

A global recession affects the prices of commodities and reveals a southern bound economic graph.The Indian scenario however needs to be understood as the belonging of a developing economy, a scenario where economic downturn or prosperity has always been complimented by our fondness and indifference to rampant corruption,red tapeismand dealings behind closed doors.Organisations have survived solely on such a plinth and at the lowest levels, the estimated figures stand as such ; every peon , babu and bada babu as are called(preferred against their own names too ) charge an amount beginning at Rs. 10/-.The water boy or girl seeks Rs. 5/- for every file to go through the doors of govt. offices.In the civil or district courts there are about at least 40 courts on an average.These support about 100 such personnel and an average offering of Rs. 25 amounts to Rs. 2,500/- and per day about Rs.2,500 X 100 cases or litigants summing up to Rs. 2,50,000/- per day at abysmally low figures needless to state that monies are taken from both the parties thus doubling the amount to Rs.5,00,000/-.The backlog of cases,further dates and inordinate delays could well reveal the real figures.This is unaccounted money circling in the economy.The entire figure is collosal understanding inter alia that government salaries and perks are fed through the tax payer's hard earned money.The amount if taken into account government offices,courts of quasi-judicial authorities,police stations,their HQs,traffic cops etc. sums up to an amount enough to do away with hunger,clothing for the under clothed,shelter for the homeless and needlesss to state for those who have had to turn naxalites,take up arms and live outside the folds of society. There ofcourse are scams,bunglings,corruption beginning at the slightly higher level and so on involving state and union public service members,officers, the judiciary,our state and union ministers and those highly decorated offices too.In the history of this nation, never before was a President accused of murder and swindling.We have stood testimony to that too, astounding as it may seem that she is India's first female President.The only moment of pride in my nascent years in the legal profession was accosting the case study of the U.S bribe givers in India tried in the U.S under the Foreign Corrupt Trade Practices Act .The case it is imperative to mention is the Bhopal Gas Tragedy still awaiting final disposal in the Bhopal District Court, at Jabalpur High Court,the Supreme Court and those in the United States Of America.While the world heaves a sigh, we only get more indifferent and unlock our most sanctimonious coffers for the world to see it completely empty.

Aum
Flicker to a blow , ignites my mind
touches thew abyss,kisses the sky
mojo on the run,mojo on the run
hunted down by fans,gunned down by malice
weighed down by malice,and tagged along in the box
to you who lies deeep underneath,do you feel the pain
and share the sorrow of a bleeding heart
of times of rythm,and beats of moments
the mojos belch out the paradoxical blues

Aum
Strings dont strum and drums dont beat
the kings,the marigolds,the darkness and queens
merge together in a luminiscence
a flicker they hope,to drown em in
a handfull of spirit,art thou in
its a cruise unto the paradoxical blues

Rush Hour @ House Of The People : Jamshedpur Lok Sabha Elections

Amidst banners,hoardings,flags and slogans,the death knell soundest the loudest of principles,morality and constitutional proprieties in all the manifestations that adorn any civil society.A mid term election's inevitability left unaddressed for and by a pm in waiting and a cm in waiting,the adminstrative machinery's watchful eyes forced many a careless politicians to guard themselves against sparking societal enemity and disharmony.LK Advani had clearly failed the test of patriarchy save his acknowledgements of the information highway.The element of failure is an integral constituent of choice.A choice which we make for ourselves,on behalf and for others.Speeches that colourably disguise our inabilities not only dissuade real growth but stall the process for the future generation too whose age has come and undisputedly should be nurtured under the aegis of those who have their foundations in the corridors of education and the altar of conscience.

swarnrekha-our river of gold

Jamshedpur Lok Sabha

Belonging to the fraternity of lawyers, it is our personal obligation to explain the framework, the domain and the tenacity of the Constitution Of India in supporting or rejecting malicious circumstances aimed solely at inflicting irreconcilable defeats and gaining false victories. The Constitution Of India we should admit at the outset reigns supreme. Article 101(2) under vacation of seats in the house of the people states, “No person shall be a member both of parliament and of a house of the legislature of a state”. If elected to the legislative assembly and resignation from the parliament not adhered to within the specified period as per rules framed by the President Of India, the seat shall be considered vacated. A candidate of the Bharatiya Janta Party projected alongside his announcement for the Lok Sabha elections for the Jamshedpur Constituency as the Chief Ministerial candidate too is not in good taste of democratic reforms. Article 174 and Article 170 furthermore articulating the ephemeral six month period and composition too vis a vis adequate representation, Article 330 relates to reservation of seats for members of the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe which in a progressive society is very noble and is made solely for the purpose of assimilation i.e. bringing such members of the society in the mainstream alongside others. The obedience of such allowances though is the need of the hour and its extinguishment after the stipulated period rightly so where we would all be equal, the announcement of such candidatures is surely not our concern since it is the personal opinion of a political party and part of its own agenda more so for our faith in the creator and all his creations equally majestic innately since birth. The non permissible and unacceptable bit is elections being thrust on the people in such a manner that such candidates who have been projected as the Chief Minister too if the party assumes power in the State Of Jharkhand, re-elections for the constituency towards choosing a representative for Parliament in the same tenure is an inevitability. We, as a matured populace should discourage such practices more so with such candidates harping on Constitutional values and propriety in articles which appeared incidentally today in the Hindustan, a respectable Hindi daily.Shibu Soren’s failure in securing a seat at the legislative assembly towards retaining the post of Chief Minster has already plunged the state into a state of limbo and uncertainty. We, as voters should cast our votes more consciously and elect the most befitting candidate worthy of representing us in Parliament. An honest and able candidate with a vision for true development should be our appropriate choice. In the absence of one, we should unhesitantly try being a candidate ourselves while imperative it is to state that our pledge to serve the constituency selflessly without fear and favour for the entire term of five years should be uncompromising. A prime minister in waiting could wait some more.
