65 'sarkari' schools in West Bengal have started teaching English in their schools

65 'sarkari' schools in Waste Bengal have started teaching English in their schools w.e.f. Wednesday, 2019-01-02, the day the new academic session started.
And what are they going to teach on the #inspiration (#anuprerona) of the 'Greatest gift of God to Bengali mankind?
It surely would be a whole bunch of stinking #RottenEnglish, viz.
* Safe Drive Save Life;
* No Rough Drive;
* Wear Helmet for Two Wheeler Drive;
* Bangladesh is the border of Pakistan;
* Lessons on 'phedaral' India;
* etc, etc, etc .....the list is endless.

This will be another great initiative to ensure that Bengalis become greater laughing stock.

Gandhi 'khandaan' can never match the integrity of Narendra Modi

It's a shame to compare the 'hera-pheri' specialists, Gandhi 'khandaan' with PM Narendra Modi. 

Even if RaGa and his family were to be born 10 times, they will never match the integrity standards of Narendra Modi. 

It's only 'qualified uneducated' people who don't believe in that!

Dangerous days ahead

"Dangerous days ahead...

1. Moghuls became Indians and Indians became Kafirs.

2. Nehru-Khan-Maino became Gandhi and Indians became fools.

3. Muslims became Kashmiris and Kashmiri Pandits became refugees.

4. Bangladeshis became Bengalis and Bengalis couldn't celebrate Durga Puja in soon to be....West Bangladesh

5. Those who are intolerant of Hindus became Secular and the real seculars became Sanghi terrorists.

6. The Maoists and Urban Naxals became Intellectuals and the Intellectuals became Bakhts.

7. Terrorists became 'poor-sons-of-headmasters'  who killed/beheaded army men and the army became human rights violators who used pellet guns on these peaceful terrorists.

8. The wood used for Asthi became an environmental concern while the land used for burials became secular birth rights.

9. The wool used in Rakhi during Raksha bandan hurt the sheep but thousands of goats slaughtered in the most cruel manner during Bakri Eid became religious freedom.

10. Appeasement became secular while Equality became Communal.

11. RSS org. became terrorists but Hafiz Saheb and Hurriyats became pinnacles of nationalism and peace.

12. Bharat Mata Ki Jai became communal while Bharat Tere Tukde Honge was called "Freedom Of Expression."

13. Divide And Rule became inclusive and Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas became division.

A very dangerous situation is being created in the country by the so called Seculars, without realising the poisonous end it is creating."

How I view a congenitally defective buffoon named Rahul Pappu Gandhi

While peeling potatoes I remembered a congenital dunce, who should not be anywhere around any legislature.

Online and offline behavior of young Indian techies speak really bad of the bosses and the tech companies that employ them

I read this phrase on a biker's post "Google Maps fucked up ...." while approving a travelogue in a travel group in the social media.
My blood boiled. I predicted the guy's demographic profile without any goof-up.
He was one of those 'idiots' (their peers love addressing everyone that), an engineer from one of those hopeless 7300 engineering colleges. The world knows them as business analysts, tech specialists, business process leads, consultants and the shit.
And then there's a huge number of today's techies who consider it hugely fashionable to use expletives like MC, BC, F###, etc in almost every sentence they write or utter to announce to the world that they have 'arrived' :( My foot!
The behavior of these guys are plain repulsive.
If these buggers would have aspired to work in truly worthy companies like HUL, P&G, Nestle India, Bunge India, Colgate India, GSK, Castrol India, Kellogg's India, Mondelez India, Perfetti India, Allergan, Titan Industries, Britannia Industries, Marico Industries, etc & used such expletives even remotely, they + their CVs would have got kicked around from door-to-door for the next 25 - 30 yrs.
The online and offline behavior of these 20 or 30 something techies in India speak really bad of the bosses and the tech companies that employ them.
I love it every time Mr. Donald Trump sneezes and the techies start wetting their pants :P

Pappu fans woke up after the RJ, CG, MP, TS state assembly exit poll results on 2018-12-07

Have you noticed how active India's 'gaddar' & sickular 'gadharam' bhakts have become no sooner than the exit poll results of State Assembly elections started getting aired on numerous TV channels from 7/12/2018 evening?

With so many enemies within the nation's boundary, who needs intelligence agencies to keep an eye for enemies across the border :(

I am against the continuous use of utterly fake and terribly foul language by educated individuals and the make-believe intellectuals against Hindus, the PM and the political party he represents.

There's no logic behind the terms being used, the topics that are being spoken or the non-stop trolling. It really projects India in bad light.

How dare does stupids visit overseas and insult the very backbone of India? Isn't it true that the present PM & his team been working relentlessly for enhancing the brand equity of the country in every sphere?

Therefore, it becomes very difficult to project a 'I care less' attitude and remain unmoved!

Indian voters (monkeys) want short term benefits (bananas) vis-a-vis overall good (money)

যদি আপনি একটি বাঁদরের সামনে এক ডজন কলা আর একটা টাকার বান্ডিল রেখে দেন...

তবে দেখবেন বাঁদরটা :
ওই এক ডজন কলাটাই ওঠাবে...
টাকার বান্ডিলটা নয় ;
কেননা বাঁদরটা জানেনা -
ওই এক বান্ডিল টাকার মূল্য ,
যেটা দিয়ে একটা আস্ত কলার বাগান কেনা যায় ।

ঠিক সেভাবেই বাস্তবে বর্তমান ভারতবর্ষের জনতাকে যদি -
নিজের " স্বার্থপূরণ " আর " রাষ্ট্রীয় সূরক্ষা "
এই দুটোর মধ্যে যেকোনো একটা বিকল্প বাছতে বলা হয়...
তবে তারা নিজেদের স্বার্থপূরণকেই চয়ন করবে :

কেননা বর্তমান ভারতবাসী এটা বুঝতে পারেনা / বুঝতে চায়না যে -
রাষ্ট্রই যদি সুরক্ষিত না থাকে তাহলে নিজের আখের গুছিয়ে কি লাভ ?

আজকাল ভারতবর্ষে বিরোধীদের মধ্যে তিন রকমের ট্রেন্ড চলছে ...

প্রথম :-
ভারতবর্ষ একটি গরিব দেশ :
তাই বুলেট ট্রেনের প্রয়োজন নেই ।
কিন্তু ভারত আবার এতটাই আর্থিক স্বচ্ছল যে কয়েক লক্ষ রোহিঙ্গা শরণার্থীদের প্রতিপালন করতে পারে ।

দ্বিতীয় :-
মসজিদের হয়ে স‌ওয়াল করার জন্য দেশের প্রথম সারির প্রায় ছাপ্পান্ন জন উকিলকে পাওয়া যায়...
আর মন্দিরের তরফ একা সুব্রমন্যম স্বামী !

তৃতীয় :-
দেশে GST র বিরোধিতা দেখা যায়...
কিন্তু জনসংখ্যা বৃদ্ধির বিরোধ কখনও কেউ করেনা

আরও মজার কথা হলো -
দুই সন্তান‌ওয়ালারা অমরনাথযাত্রায় TAX দেয় আর...
দশ সন্তান‌ওয়ালারা হজের সাবসিডি পায় !

ভারত তো একটা সময় মহান ছিল....
বীরের দেশ ছিলো...
তা সত্বেও মুঘলদের গোলাম ছিল কেনো ?

কেননা....

" তৎকালীন হিন্দু রাজাদের নিজেদের মধ্যে হিংসা , হানাহানি ও ঈর্ষা এমন পর্যায়ে ছিল যে তারা একে অপরকে শায়েস্তা করার জন্য মুঘলদের সাহায্য করার জন্য‌ও প্রস্তুত ছিল "

অর্থাৎ হিন্দু একতা প্রথম থেকেই ছিলো না...

পরিস্থিতি আজ‌ও এক‌ই আছে :
একদিকে মোদীজি হিন্দুত্বের জন্য দাঁড়িয়ে...
আর অন্যদিকে তথাকথিত সেকুলার হিন্দুরা তাঁকে মিটানোর জন্য দাড়িয়ে ।

অনেক হিন্দুদেরকেই তো দেখি :
মোদীজি র বিরোধ করতে !

কিন্তু ওয়েসী / জাকির নায়েকদের বিরোধীতায় মুখর কোনো মুসলিম আজ পর্যন্ত কিন্তু চোখে পড়েনি ।

হিন্দুত্বের পতনের জন্য হিন্দুরা নিজেরাই দায়ী ছিলো / আছে / থাকবে...

সেকারণেই আমি বলি -
" হিন্দু হইতে হিন্দু সাবধান "

2.3 lakh deaths a year! It's time India tackled suicide, the silent killer, as a public health crisis

Acknowledging suicide to be a public health crisis and crafting nation-wide strategies should be the first big step.

There are three things that really…,” Dr Lakshmi Vijayakumar, a Chennai-based psychiatrist working on suicide prevention, pauses to search for the right word. Frustrate? “Yes, three things that really frustrate me. One is the lack of political will to address suicide prevention,” she says. The others are the high number of youngsters dying by suicide in India, unlike in the West, and the growing number of women among them. Vijayakumar, a member of the World Health Organisation’s network on suicide research and prevention, puts it bluntly: “There is no other condition in India that causes the loss of 2.3 lakh lives a year, and nobody does anything about it.”

Vijayakumar’s concern is understandable. Data released recently by the online journal Lancet Public Health, as part of its Global Burden of Disease Study (1990 to 2016), revealed, for the first time, the quantum of the problem India is facing: in 2016, it had the highest number of suicide deaths. The country’s share of the global number ofsuicide deaths has been rising, both for men and women. One of every three women dying by suicide, the report revealed, is from India.

The numbers came as a surprise because so far India has mostly relied on annual figures released by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB). NCRB pegs the number of suicide deaths in 2016 at 1.3 lakh, close to half the Lancet Public Health figure of 2.3 lakh.

The disparity, says Rakhi Dandona, one of the lead authors of the report, is because suicide deaths are under-reported in India, particularly because it was held to be a criminal offence until 2017 (Please check: the act was passed in 2017, I think). The data shows that the number of suicide deaths in India were higher than deaths related to AIDS (62,000 in 2016) or maternal mortality (45,000 in 2015). In short, it is a public health crisis though it is not being addressed as one.

One reason for the reluctance to tackle it could be that suicide is a complex problem, with a myriad factors leading to it. Interventions cannot be as straightforward as with polio, for example, vanquished through countrywide immunisation programmes and widespread awareness. Nor is it something that states can afford to wash its hands of, on the grounds that it is a “personal issue”. There are countries that have implemented national suicide prevention policies, which have met with at least some success (See “How Some Countries...”).

“The biggest misconception around suicide is that it is not preventable and that those who die have already made up their mind. This is far from the truth,” says Nelson Vinod Moses, founder, Suicide Prevention India Foundation. Nine out of ten suicide survivors don’t die by suicide and seven out of ten don’t make a second attempt, he points out. Recently, he had been able to successfully counsel a 19-year-old college student who reached out, saying she wanted to end her life because her ex-boyfriend was threatening to release some personal pictures online. “I told her she need not feel shameful for what had happened and that she should continue her course in computer science, get married to someone else and have a family.” Moses also encouraged her to confide in her parents and overcome the guilt she was feeling, a common emotion among youth contemplating suicide.

Restrict Access This also ties in with another aspect of suicide in India: it is not always linked to mental health and hence needs to be addressed accordingly. Dandona, a professor at Public Health Foundation of India, says the NCRB data alone would show that the biggest causes cited are personal and social problems such as love affairs or issues with families. “You can’t change this by making it part of a mental health programme,” she reasons. Even in the case of farmer suicides, the underlying factor is financial crisis, she says.

“There are effective interventions but nobody seems to be willing to address them,” says Vijayakumar. One of the “lowest hanging fruits” in suicide prevention, according to her, is restricting access to pesticide, which is commonly used to die by suicide in rural areas. It has been established that easy availability of lethal means is an important factor in suicide deaths. For instance, one reason why suicide deaths among rural women in China have come down is because when they moved out of villages, their access to pesticides — a common method — was also limited. Sri Lanka, too, saw its suicide death rates reduce after it banned the import and sale of toxic pesticides. In Australia, firearm suicides declined after the gun law reforms of 1996, when certain kinds of firearms were banned and there was a compulsory buyback.

Similarly, India could restrict access to pesticides. In two villages in Cuddalore in Tamil Nadu, Vijayakumar initiated a WHO-funded project from 2010 where pesticides were stored centrally in lockers, instead of in farmers’ houses, thereby restricting access. The number of suicide deaths in the intervention site came down from 2 in 2011 to zero every year till 2017 while the number of attempted suicides declined from 3 in 2010 to zero in 2017.

The Tamil Nadu government in January decided to spread the programme to 100 villages. The centralised storage is also set to be replicated in 60 villages in Gujarat, as part of a multi-agency research partnership called Suicide Prevention and Implementation Research Initiative (SPIRIT), along with training of students to cope with psychological distress and of community health workers to identify people with suicidal tendencies and refer them.

Moses suggests that more people should be encouraged to undergo the WHO-endorsed QPR (Question, Persuade and Refer) Gatekeeper Training online, in which people are taught to understand warning signs, identify risk factors and persuade someone contemplating dying by suicide to seek help. “It comes from the premise that suicide prevention is everybody’s business. But though it is a low-cost method, less than 1,000 people in India have taken it,” he says. This may be changing. A retail chain recently got in touch with Moses’ foundation to help train all 12,000 of its employees; colleges, too, have expressed interest.

While these efforts would help, so would a national suicide prevention policy, which could address the population as a whole and also include targeted interventions, say public health experts. The Lancet Public Health study, which reveals the wide variation between states when it comes to suicide rates highlights the need for state-specific, targeted interventions. For instance, Tamil Nadu had the highest suicide death rate for women, at 25, while Mizoram had the lowest, at 2.5 (per 100,000 population). “That’s a huge difference. What this means is that while we need a national policy, we will also need to tailor it to the needs of each state,” says Dandona. A well-drafted policy would help increase awareness about suicide prevention, reduce stigma, increase collection of data and lead to responsible media reporting, among others, says Moses. The infrastructure is also woefully inadequate, with only 44 helplines across the country, of which only nine are 24x7 and none of them is connected by a single helpline number.

While decriminalising the attempt to suicide was a welcome first step, India will need to do a lot more, if it wants to tackle the highest cause of death among its youth and the ninth biggest cause of death in the general population. Acknowledging it to be a public health crisis and crafting nation-wide strategies could be the next.
