Dear Sarabjit,

I want to work upon few social issues and want to raise my voice till top level people, who can actually take the decision and can take corrective steps. But as you know without support of general public it is difficult (even to believe) that my voice will be heard. I remember that IAC started one campaign during its movement in the year 2012 (when Anna ji was on fast), we and other public supported IAC by missed call.

Can you please guide on the process of showing the support by public by giving missed calls. How does it actually functions and what is the mechanism to work with it?

Thanks
Best Regards,
Sandeep Nagpal

Re: [IAC#RG] Amartya Sen’s outburst after being denied second term

Amartya Sen commented about Modi "winning an election does not mean he could prove to be effective" (something like that,as i can recollect)!  I would  say the same thing about Amartya Sen " Getting nobel prize or Bharat Ratna" too was an erroneous decision (or at the most a fluke) by who so ever the authorities are! Sachin Tendulkar too aid through ads to promote commodities despite his affluence and being bestowed with Bharat Ratna!! All these prove that they are all beneficiaries of the thoughtlessness of those responsibel!!

It looks like Mr Sen has viewed his personal gain or non gain as a barometer of academic freedom and performance of Modi Government. Anybody is fee to criticise the govt of the day but  as a Noble Laureate what has Mr Sen offered to his country, has he suggested any blue print or a road map or a paper on improving the economy of the country?
Sad that an academician like him is behaving like a cheap politician and NDTV is very happy to air his comments and criticism of the Government and one can see it so clearly what it all means.

                                                           Amartya  Sen's  outburst  after  being  denied  second  term
 
On being denied  second term as  Chancellor of Nalanda University, Amartsya Sen has  criticised  the Modi government  and accused it of threatening the academic freedom.  Obviously,  Amartya Sen   would not have said this if he has been given a second term. His reaction sounds like that of a typical politician in India, who views any situation  considering  his personal interests.
Amartya Sen has completed his term as Chancellor of Nalanda University and his term has not been disturbed in the middle. Certainly, the government  has the duty, responsibility and authority to decide as to who should be the next chancellor and the decision need not always go in faour of incumbent. Person like Amartya Sen, a Nobel  laurete who gets lot of publicity in the Indian media , should understand this prerogative of the government.
By no stretch of imagination  , one can say that not providing a second term for the Chancellor amount to threaten the academic freedom. Certainly, there are people in India who are equally suitable or even may be more suitable than Amartya  Sen for the job and the government is entitled to examine such possibilities.
It is unfortunate that Amartya Sen has viewed the issues relating to academic freedom in India in such a restricted way such as posting of Chancellor.
It is known that Amartya Sen   has given an impression that he is a pledged critic of Narendra Modi  and his recent interview in the media not only talks about his not  being   given a second term but also highly critical remarks about Modi's governance, which is unwarranted from a person holding position as Chancellor of University.

Re: [IAC#RG] Get support by missed call for social issues

Dear CA Sandeep

Sorry for not replying earlier.

I was not a party to the IAC's earlier missed call initiatives. It was
carried out by NetCore Mumbai. Later on I protested it.

http://www.mumbaimirror.com/columns/columnists/ajit-ranade/Missed-Call-Great-Indian-trick/articleshow/16142093.cms

"What Balwant Singh perhaps did not know was that by calling the
number not only was he registering his support, he was also giving
away consent for getting calls and text messages in the future.
Calling this the 'Great Indian trick,' Ajit Ranade wrote in Mumbai
Mirror that the Mumbai-based company that was managing IAC's campaign,
Netcore Solutions Pvt Ltd, had used a software which could convert a
missed call into consent for receiving future calls and text messages,
as mandated by the Department of Telecom."

Re: [IAC#RG] Court pendency behind India's low global ranking: World Bank

In the  present situation Arbitration is not at all effective in resolving disputes because of many loop holes in the Arbitration and Conciliation Act,1996.Expediting Amendments to the Act to  plug the holes  therein  will help to some extent.

Most recoveries of banks financial institutions are done through SARFASI proceedings.  The pendency is mostly in litigation involving stakes of common people. This appears to be the case in SC as well. Where is the cause for worry for the Business ?

Can you please explain where should a person whose personal liberty is at stake and when in the eyes of law, her physical remand by the Gujarat police was not necessary, should go for legal redress and why not to the SC when the Gujarat High Court cancelled the stay order on the Gujarat Govt./Police.

And hy should the Sc not say what it has said. Would be grateful for the education.  Devinder .

Re: [IAC#RG] Court pendency behind India's low global ranking: World Bank

It is really surprising that law made for common man is actually not giving any relief to him . Ours is a simple case we want co-op society and builder does not want and made condiminium with all control with him . He managed the Co-op hos soc registrar .We went to Bombay High Court the builder with his muscle power managed there aslo . In fact If there was a CCTV in the court I would have put it on You tube to see how a High Court judge does not even gives a min to hear our complain leave beside allow any argument . He had come with a predecieded order and gave that a four lines order WP is dismisssed .

This took us 4 years and now we plan to approach the supreme court we donot know how long that will take .
And this is happeneing where we have a constitulay right to form societies

Re: [IAC#RG] Court pendency behind India's low global ranking: World Bank

I am totally agree that SC is an apex court and the framers of constitution was opined that SC shall have powers to save constitutional rights, fundamental rights as well as to decide any substantial questions regarding law and in broad to look after parliamentary law from the point of view to safeguard the interests & conflict within parameters of basic features of constitution itself with solving disputes between States. It is CJI to look into the discretionary powers of Justices.

Interesting. Some questions however
Did Adv Sibal appear PROBONO?
If not who paid him?
Foreign Fund or a Political Party or a Political Person.
Is their a conduit to legitimise the clandestine operations of a Foreign Agency operating under PHILANTHROPIST  ROUTE to subvert INDIA?

It dos not seem to be the mere clout of Mr. Sibal but seems to have political overtones.

Dear Sarabjit,

I want to work upon few social issues and want to raise my voice till top level people, who can actually take the decision and can take corrective steps. But as you know without support of general public it is difficult (even to believe) that my voice will be heard. I remember that IAC started one campaign during its movement in the year 2012 (when Anna ji was on fast), we and other public supported IAC by missed call.

Can you please guide on the process of showing the support by public by giving missed calls. How does it actually functions and what is the mechanism to work with it?

Thanks

Re: [IAC#RG] Amartya Sen’s outburst after being denied second term

It is an interesting write-up, quite long in deed. Though as per the disclaimer, the author (whom I do not know at all) has no political affiliation, but every line of his write up amply reveals otherwise. And he is biased! Writing is a responsible and serious business. It needs thorough knowledge, requires investigations, search and research of the materials.It requires dedication. Otherwise a superfluous vomitus will be the result as in this communique.It is always wiser to keep mouth shut rather than opening and telling rubbish without any base and detailed work-up. This kind of attitude is not going to raise India's standard any further even if we talk of innovation etc etc.Let all of us work together with commitment and not superfluously for regaining the status of our country. Disclaimer: This is not to hurt any body who-so-ever.

Let the facts about Nalanda University be brought in the public domain. I do not think that the BJP Government is in the wrong here.

These people have no idea of the ground realities in India.

Amitabh Joshi (for bringing this to my notice)
Sanjeev Sanghi ( for sharing the facts)
Another perspective in the ongoing controversy! Take your pick…
Nalanda University, Amartya Sen and the massive fraud in reconstruction !!
Aside August 26, 2014 February 20, 2015 Shwetank History, Socio Political
Nalanda University was an ancient centre of learning in India, and among the first great universities in recorded history, predating such institutions of higher learning like Al-Azhar in Egypt (10th century AD), the University of Bologna in Italy (11th century AD), and Oxford University in England (12th century AD). It was also the first ever residential university in the world, holding capacity for thousands of students to stay on campus in dorms.
One of the interesting aspects of Nalanda University was its intake of 'international students' from as far away as Korea, Japan, China, Tibet, as well as Southeast, Central, and Western Asian regions. Nalanda University's appeal to scholars from these regions was due to the fact that it was one of the most important seats of learning in the Buddhist world. But despite its focus on the study of Buddhism, students at Nalanda University were allowed to pursue other areas of knowledge, such as the fine arts, medicine, astronomy, mathematics, politics, and even the art of war. As a result, numerous illustrious thinkers were associated with the university.
The real blow to Nalanda came with the arrival ov Muslim invaders in 1197 led by Mohammad Bakhtiyar Khilji, a general of Qutubuddin Aibak, who were intolerant of the other religions and cultures. Much of the university was demolished, its priceless library was burnt down and many of its scholars, including Buddhist monks, were mercilessly slaughtered, in what was one of the greatest acts of cultural vandalism in India.
The Scam : Private Estate with Public Money
For a long time now Amartya Sen has aired views upon everything except perhaps economics. He is a 'historian', 'political scientist', 'philosopher', 'sociologist', 'institution builder', 'self-appointed non-resident Chancellor, Nalanda University'. He has been adored by Indians almost as a sage. The Nobel Laureate in Economics (1998) never had any practical solution for India's economy in testing times. Neither his economist friend Manmohan Singh nor his student Kaushik Basu, former Chief Economic Adviser, could leave it in better shape.
The Govt spent Rs. 2.11 Crore on meetings held by a "Mentor Group" constituted under the chairmanship of Prof Amartya Sen in Singapore, Tokyo, New York & Delhi to conceptualize establishment of the university. The group formed in 2007 was supposed to file a final report in nine months but Amartya Sen never bothered to submit even in three years the detailed project report. The great economist could not even prepare a financial estimate for the project or bring any funds from abroad. Yet he was made Chairman of the Governing Board of Nalanda University. And finally the Board, chaired by him, chose him as the Chancellor in Beijing in 2011. What could be a better way to cling on to power; enjoy flying trips and luxury hospitality; and get repeated opportunities to preach to lesser mortals of India? A courteous media never put uncomfortable questions to him when scandalous appointments and arbitrary dealings became apparent in Nalanda University.

N1}. APJ Abdul Kalam, former President of India, who originally envisioned the project, resigned in disgust but never shared with media why exactly he left the Nalanda University project. The project was his brainchild. It was obvious in Kalam's own words- his letter to the External Affairs Minister on July 4, 2011. Kalam's letter to Mr. S. M. Krishna reveals why he was not in a position to become the first Visitor of the Nalanda University The MEA suppressed the letter until it was retrieved through an RTI application.

N2}. Kalam felt frustrated with the people at helm of affairs. His resignation is evidently a rebuff to Prof. Amartya Sen and his protégé Dr. Gopa Sabharwal, smuggled in as the Vice Chancellor-Designate without his knowledge. Being chairman, Governing Board, Prof. Sen's position is equivalent to Chancellor (the University officially has none as yet). Neither Prof. Sen nor Dr. Sabharwal could inspire the confidence of Dr. Kalam.
With a mind besotted with Oxford, Cambridge and Harvard he views Nalanda University through that prism. The glory of ancient Nalanda University was not really that students from all over East Asia came to study there. Its glory was that committed Pandits like Arya Dev, Silabhadra, Dharmapala, Santarakshita and Chandragomin spent their lives for the sake of that institution. But to Prof. Sen 'Nalanda University' is pure exotica. Had Amartya declared, having achieved and obtained everything an academician can dream of, building Nalanda University was his life's mission and he would settle down in Bihar for that, one could have appreciated it. But Amartya views 'Nalanda University' as an opportunity for flying trips (at the cost of Indian taxpayers) and flowery speeches. The fault lies actually with Indian establishment. Entrusting the task reviving Nalanda University to Amartya Sen & Co is testimony of India's obsequiousness. This obsequiousness is what Dr. Kalam has repeatedly warned Indians against.
The controversy, however, erupted with the appointment of a 'Vice Chancellor, designate'. In reply to a question on August 25, MEA said no vice-chancellor has been appointed in Nalanda University. However, according to an RTI reply, vice chancellor Gopa Sabharwal and seven of her associates are drawing salaries since October 2010. Vice-chancellor draws salary of Rs 5,06,513 per month. As per the Act, the headquarters should be at Nalanda, Bihar, but within two months of Gazette notification on September 22 last year, were shifted to RK Puram in New Delhi.
Under Government of India Allocation of Business Rules, 1961, MEA is not authorized to manage or own a university unless part of an inter-governmental agreement. No inter-governmental agreement exists for Nalanda University, unlike the South Asian University. The incumbent Gopa Sabharwal, appointed through an order issued by a secretary in MEA on the recommendation of the mentor group, is just a reader in the department of sociology in the Lady Sri Ram College and has nothing to do with the Buddhist studies for which the university is to be set up. She did not meet the mandatory qualification set by the University Grants Commission (UGC) for the vice-chancellors of the central and state universities to be distinguished academicians with a minimum ten years of experience as a professor in a university system.
Ignoring the government's recruitment rules that require public notice, Dr Sabharwal picked up her friend Dr Anjana Sharma, an associate professor in Delhi University, as the Officer-on-Special Duty (OSD) on deputation, with gross monthly salary of Rs 3.30 lakhs, which is more than the salary of a Vice-Chancellor in the rest of the country.
The Standing Committee of the ministry says in its report just tabled in Parliament that the Nalanda project was estimated in 2007 to cost Rs 1,005 crore but this may have to be revised, and that the same mentor group has now become the interim governing board of the university. In its very first meeting in February, this board nominated adviser committee to help out and two persons representing India in it are Ms Upinder Singh, daughter of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, and her colleague Ms Nayanjot Lahiri, who are not experts on any aspect of the Nalanda tradition or history.
But as Amartya Sen's letter to Pranab Mukherjee, i.e., February 2009 reveals he recommended three names for the post of Rector. They were in order of preference a) Dr. Gopa Sabharwal b) Dr. Ramchandra Guha and c) Dr. Pratap Bahanu Mehta.
How the names of the three candidates were shortlisted; how was the selection process conducted; and who were there in the search committee is a closely guarded secret. As far as one understands (a) the plump post was never advertised/publicised (b) no search committee was constituted c) there was no interview or selection process and d) Ramachandra Guha and Pratap Bhanu Mehta were never contacted for this top job. Amartya Sen never submitted any supporting papers related to the selection.

N3}. Amartya Sen's criticism of Narendra Modi is also a product of political sponsorship. It has to be understood in the perspective of the 'politics of obligation' practised within the Amartya Sen-JD(U)-UPA triangle. The cornerstone of this relationship is vested in the Nalanda University project. It is this fraudulent project that binds Amartya Sen, UPA and Nitish Kumar. It extends to supporting the policies of Manmohan Singh's Government in New Delhi and Nitish Kumar's Government in Bihar. In fact Manmohan Singh and Nitish Kumar are both using Amartya Sen to validate their policies (including follies).
N4}. Many primary school buildings are better than this building worth several hundred crores.
Amartya Sen is threatening to resign after the finance ministry raised pointed queries on the financial management of the varsity, said an Indian Express report. The varsity has been granted a massive Rs 2,727 crore financial support package over a period of 12 years. The finance ministry's Department of Expenditure has asked the Ministry of External Affairs, the nodal ministry for the project, the reasons why government rules should not apply to the project, said the Indian Express report.

Nalanda University has become a private estate with public money in the name of autonomy. Amartya has no fig leaves to the hide himself. Only the media is not asking him the right questions.

I cannot agree with you. The fact cannot be disputed that there have been unwarranted interference by the governments in the educational institutions, irrespective of the state and the ruling party. People of unquestionable stature should be left out of poilitics. Amartya Sen is a personality of that status. Just because he is not too enthusiastic about Modi, the government is not too interested about Amartya Sen.

>>On being denied second term as Chancellor of Nalanda University, Amartsya
Sen has criticised the Modi government and accused it of threatening the academic
freedom. Obviously, Amartya Sen would not have said this if he has been given
a second term. His reaction sounds like that of a typical politician in India,
who views any situation considering his personal interests.
>>Amartya Sen has
completed his term as Chancellor of Nalanda University and his term has not
been disturbed in the middle. Certainly, the government has the duty, responsibility and authority to
decide as to who should be the next chancellor and the decision need not always
go in faour of incumbent. Person like Amartya Sen, a Nobel laurete who gets lot of publicity in the
Indian media , should understand this prerogative of the government.
>>By no stretch of
imagination , one can say that not
providing a second term for the Chancellor amount to threaten the academic
freedom. Certainly, there are people in India who are equally suitable or even
may be more suitable than Amartya Sen
for the job and the government is entitled to examine such possibilities.
>>It is unfortunate
that Amartya Sen has viewed the issues relating to academic freedom in India in
such a restricted way such as posting of Chancellor.
>>It is known that
Amartya Sen has given an impression that
he is a pledged critic of Narendra Modi and his recent interview in the media not only talks about his not being given a second term but also highly critical remarks about Modi's governance,
which is unwarranted from a person holding position as Chancellor of
University.
