Mahesh Jethmalani Wants Police Action Against Sonia Gandhi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4n9xceZSUg4 MJ says" A police case should be lodged against Congress's Sonia Gandhi over her association with a forum that openly supports the secession of Jammu and Kashmir from India, Mrs Gandhi, he pointed out, has not issued any denial or distanced herself from the website, she is criminally liable and a police case should be filed against her immediately under the UAPA (Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act)

https://x.com/JethmalaniM/status/1866682101136843216 @Jethmalani  #SoniaGandhi’s co-presidency of the Forum of Democratic Leaders - Asia Pacific (FDL-AP) not only establishes her links with #GeorgeSoros, as the Forum is heavily financed by the George Soros Foundation, but also exposes her to grave criminal charges under the #UAPA in view of the public advocacy of independence for #Kashmir by the Forum. #PriyankaVadra’s dismissal of her mother’s links with Soros in a concerted promotion of Kashmiri separatism is a vacuous response that reveals a reckless disregard for India’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. 

 BJP is spreading ‘fake news’, says French media house Mediapart  https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/bjp-spreading-fake-news-says-french-media-house/article68966777.ece 10th December
Mediapart said that it “firmly condemns the instrumentalisation of its recently published investigative article about OCCRP by the Bharatiya Janata Party... in order to serve BJP’s political agenda and attack press freedom”

U.S. State Department should clarify allegations over OCCRP, says BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi  https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/allegations-on-occrp-bjp-only-quoting-media-report-up-to-us-state-department-to-clarify-says-bjp/article68964599.ece The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday (December 9, 2024) said the allegations made by the party on the U.S. State Department with regard to the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) was based on the media report by French publication Mediapart and that it was up to the U.S. State Department to clarify. 

US rejects allegations by BJP, says they are 'disappointing' https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/us-rejects-allegations-by-bjp-says-they-are-disappointing-101733642197744.html  The US spokeman said "The US government works with independent organisations on programming that supports professional development and capacity building training for journalists. This programming does not influence the editorial decisions or direction of these organisations.”

“It has always been the US State Department behind this agenda...In fact, 50% of OCCRP's funding comes directly from the US State Department,” one of the posts by the BJP on X said.

The OCCRP, based in Amsterdam, is a network of investigative journalists that focuses on reporting on organised crime and corruption. In a statement issued on December 2, OCCRP denied that is influenced by its donors. “OCCRP has no limits on its journalism and no donor influences our reporting,” the statement said.

 अदाणी मामले पर कब होगा JPC का गठन? वापिस आया सोरोस का भूत https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdWHUJiUjKU Mediapart   said that BJP is spreading false news in the name of its report.  BJP has accused American agencies and George Soros of conspiring against India, has named the deep state. It has also demanded a JPC.. But when will there be a JPC on Adani issue. - Ravish Kumar Official

त्रुटि सुधार - इस वीडियो में हमने ग़लती से कह दिया कि सांसद निशिकांत दुबे ने राहुल गांधी पर संसद में निजी टिप्पणी की है। यह जानकारी ग़लत है, यह टिप्पणी केंद्रीय मंत्री गिरिराज सिंह ने संसद के बाहर की है। हमने वह पंक्ति हटा दी है। इस ग़लती के लिए हमें खेद है। 

जिस मीडिया संगठन मीडियापार्ट की रिपोर्ट का हवाला देकर बीजेपी ने राहुल गांधी और सोनिया गांधी पर देशद्रोह के आरोप लगाए, उसी संस्थान ने कह दिया है कि बीजेपी उसकी रिपोर्ट के नाम पर झूठी ख़बरें फैला रही है। यह वही मीडियापार्ट है जिसकी रफ़ाल पर की गई खोजी रिपोर्टों को बीजेपी अतीत में अस्वीकार कर चुकी है। बीजेपी ने अमरीकी एजेंसियों और जॉर्ज सोरोस पर भारत के ख़िलाफ़ षड्यंत्र के आरोप लगाए हैं, डीप स्टेट का नाम लिया है। जेपीसी की माँग भी की है। अगर इस मामले में केंद्र की सरकार जेपीसी का गठन करती है तो क्या उम्मीद की जा सकती है कि विपक्ष की माँग को मानते हुए अदाणी मामले में भी जेपीसी का गठन होगा? 

The importance of George Soros’s Open Society  https://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/george-soros-indian-democracy-modi-remarks-open-society-8454825/  an open society is that in which any one group neither claims to have all the answers nor gets the power to push through those ‘answers’, crushing all opponents along the way....in the 20th century the most serious contest was not between the ‘right’ and the ‘left’ or capitalism and communism. It was between open and closed societies.

Market fundamentalism, Soros argued, is a mindset which reduces virtually all human interactions to transactional, contract-based relationships that must be valued in terms of a single common denominator, money.

Bombay HC Quashes Charity Commissioner's Circular Banning Anti-Corruption Phrases In Trust Names https://www.freepressjournal.in/mumbai/bombay-hc-quashes-charity-commissioners-circular-banning-anti-corruption-phrases-in-trust-names
The Bombay High Court on Friday quashed a circular issued by the Charity Commissioner prohibiting use of the phrases on corruption for the names of charitable organisations and trusts observing “Naam mein kya rakha hai” 

The bench highlighted that fighting corruption and protecting human rights align with the legal definition of “charitable purpose” under the Maharashtra Public Trusts Act. They reasoned that these causes serve the public interest, stating, “Corruption has significant negative effects on all areas of human wellbeing and is perceived as one of the major problems, jeopardising economic development, the functioning and legitimacy of government institutions, the rule of law, and the validity of the State itself.

The RSS Must Confront Its Crisis of Vision   https://thewire.in/religion/the-rss-must-confront-its-crisis-of-vision  Harish Khare 03/Dec/2024 Even Bhagwat has felt compelled to restrain the more extreme elements within his fold, admonishing them against searching for a trishul under every mosque. But therein lies the problem.

The RSS has built a vast ecosystem of respectability. This includes eminent personalities – retired Supreme Court judges, generals, bureaucrats, IPS and IFS officers, middle-class professionals, and even housewives and grandmothers – singing the tune of a “Hindu renaissance” scripted in Nagpur.

The organisation is now reduced to banalities, such as advocating for Hindus in Bangladesh or urging families to “produce three children.”

Global Risks 2024: Disinformation Tops Global Risks 2024 as Environmental Threats Intensify https://www.weforum.org/press/2024/01/global-risks-report-2024-press-release/  The nexus between falsified information and societal unrest will take centre stage amid elections in several major economies that are set to take place in the next two years. Interstate armed conflict is a top five concern over the next two years. With several live conflicts under way, underlying geopolitical tensions and corroding societal resilience risk are creating conflict contagion.

the report also explores other types of action that need not be exclusively dependent on cross-border cooperation, such as shoring up individual and state resilience through digital literacy campaigns on misinformation and disinformation, or fostering greater research and development on climate modelling and technologies with the potential to speed up the energy transition, with both public and private sectors playing a role.

Yogeshbhai has suggested that we should take up alternative  (traditional) Agricuture practices in the national Capital Region:  https://www.youtube.com/shorts/JsXSbD6b03Q  JD on WA: appreciate Yogeshbhai suggestion.. We will also have to talk about the Permaculture suggestion of mulching instead of crop burning in the capital region and elsewhere where there is canal irrigation, due to the glut of trying to re-use the field without giving the soil a chance to heal itself!

There had been a steep decline in area under grasslands of Banni. In 1989, the Banni grassland area was spread over 1,42,882 hectares which reduced to a mere 63,073 hectares in 2009. This deterioration has continued since 2009 and it is imperative for the government to intervene before the grassland ceases to exist. Due to the drastic reduction in the grassland area, the government has had to procure 1,388 lakh kg of fodder in the form of grass from outside Gujarat, which has resulted in a huge burden on the exchequer. Apart from restoring the ecology of the region, the government also aims to become self-reliant for fodder. -  Gujarat Ecology Commission https://gec.gujarat.gov.in/Home/Bannigrassland

 प्रवीण भाई मुच्छड़िया from Satwik,  in a field trip at the  Vikalp Sangam -

मानव और भौतिक भूगोल की पढ़ाई में जाना था कि धरती की जो परत हमें रहने को मिली, असल में वही डिसाइड करती रही हमारा जीवन, दिनचर्या, रोजगार, रहन–सहन, परम्परा, खान–पान, पहनावा, समाज और यहां तक कि धर्म भी! while studying human and physical geography, I learnt that the layer of earth that we got to live in, actually decided our life, daily routine, employment, lifestyle, tradition, food, clothing, society and even religion!

एक वैज्ञानिक अनुमान अनुसार यदि धरती की उम्र 1400 वर्ष मानी जाए तो इंसानी जीवन की उम्र 6 सेकेंड ही है और हमारी सभ्यता की उम्र तो मात्र 3 सेकेंड! According to a scientific estimate, if the age of the earth is considered to be 1400 years, then the age of human life is only 6 seconds and the age of our civilization is just 3 seconds!

अपने जीवन की स्थिति के बेहतर आंकलन के लिए ज्योग्राफी की समझ मददगार होती है। कच्छ की कहानी : 6 बताते हुए मेरा विचार और प्रगाढ़ हो रहा है कि भूगोल का शिक्षण ज्यादा से ज्यादा और घूमते–फिरते होना चाहिए, बेहतर समाज बनाने के लिए!Understanding geography is helpful for a better assessment of the condition of our life. While telling the story of  Kutch  I am convinced that  the teaching of geography should be done as much as possible  during our journey  to create a better society!
