*The English language has some wonderfully*
*anthropomorphic collective nouns*
*for various groups of animals*
*
*
We are all familiar with a *Herd* of cows, a *Flock* of chickens,
a *School* of fish and a *Gaggle* of geese.
However, less widely known is a *Pride* of lions, a*Murder* of crows (as
well as their cousins the rooks and ravens), an *Exaltation* of doves and,
presumably, because they look so wise, a *Parliament* of owls.
Now consider a gathering of Baboons. They are the loudest, most dangerous,
most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all
primates.
And what is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons?
Believe it or not ....... a *Congress!
*I guess that pretty much explains the things that come out of our present
government led by a party by that name, which has ruled our country for most
of the 64 years since the British left us in their hands!

Lokpal: Ombudsman or Omnipotent Overlord
Sandhya Jain
30 August 2011
There is startling synchronicity between Amethi MP Rahul Gandhi's
speech on the Lokpal issue in the Lok Sabha on Friday and the draft of
the Jan Lokpal bill. This lends weight to suspicions that one
objective of the Ramlila Maidan blitz is to destabilise Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh and elevate Mr Rahul Gandhi to the office.
Mr Gandhi advocated that the Lokpal be made a statutory institution
like the Election Commission. The Jan Lokpal positions itself as a
statutory body with draconian powers over all organs of State, with
zero checks and balances.
Some points deserve mention. Team Anna is curiously willing to allow
the septuagenarian to continue his fast. Once government said that
ending the fast was the responsibility of Anna's associates, the
latter strangely opted to continue the fast, and the 'failing' leader
stabilized his health and stamina. One wonders if the refusal to allow
government doctors to examine Anna, as mandated by the Supreme Court,
has anything to do with this.
Corruption is as destructive of nation and society as terrorism. But
for an effective response, the nation perhaps needs a policy of no
negotiation with blackmailers, as with terrorists. This would give
government and legislators the freedom to study the anti-corruption
issue seriously and enact just laws. Given the shrillness of Media and
NGOs on the issue, both must come under the ambit of the proposed law.
As for the Jan Lokpal Bill 2011, it decimates all normal courts and
police stations in the country as the Lokpal assumes powers to "detect
corruption by expeditious investigation and to prosecute offenders".
Indeed, Lokpal elevates itself into a dangerous supra-government.
Corruption, under this draft, is defined as anything punishable under
Chapter IX of the Indian Penal Code or Prevention of Corruption Act,
1988; including any offence committed by an elected member of a
legislature even in respect of his speech or vote inside the House.
This is an assault upon Parliament and democracy; little wonder all
political parties have reservations regarding the draft and the
motives of those pushing it. In fact, the Supreme Court should suo
moto opine whether this perverts a basic feature of the Constitution.
The Jan Lokpal also wants the right to inquire into the assets
declarations filed by successful candidates after election to any
House of Parliament. (This would extend to States once they pass
similar legislations).
The proposed 11-member Lokpal would have administrative, financial and
functional independence from government; at least four members would
have a legal background. These would be selected (the nepotism of the
elite) by a Selection Committee headed by the Prime Minister. But the
Selection Committee would have to select members from a panel prepared
by a Search Committee, the chairperson of which shall be a person with
extensive knowledge of law. Lokpal, it seems, is conceived as a
paradise of crusading lawyers, who would likely get lucrative
assignments from the said body.
The 10-member Search Committee shall be appointed by the Selection
Committee (nepotism) from amongst retired Chief Justices of India,
retired Chief Election Commissioners and retired Comptrollers &
Auditor Generals with impeccable reputations. They shall by consensus
co-opt five members from Civil Society (nepotism) into the Search
Committee. The Search Committee shall invite nominations from such
eminent individuals or persons it deems fit (a closed circle;
selection by nomination only).
Lokpal members will have a 5-year tenure but can hold office till the
age of 70 years; this raises suspicions that the draft sponsors have
specific individuals in mind for the posts, and hence the haste in
pushing the issue. The draft mentions removal of a Lokpal, but there
is no Right to Recall a Lokpal who dissatisfies the public.
Anna Hazare's draft bestows upon the Chairperson and Members of the
Lokpal a salary equal to that of the Chief Justice of India and judge
of the Supreme Court respectively, along with allowances, pensions and
other conditions of service. The Secretary to the Lokpal will have the
rank of Secretary to the Government of India. All expenses of the
Lokpal are to be fully charged to the Consolidated Fund of India, with
no government say in the matter.
The question arises, why shouldn't the Lokpals be appointed by the
Union Public Service Commission and subjected to the same rules and
service conditions as regular government servants? After all, they
want pensions after 5 years of service.
A major danger comes from Lokpal positioning itself above the Indian
economy, a situation which can favour Multinational Corporations
seeking to keep ministers, officials, and judges in line. None of the
moral crusaders at Ramlila Maidan has spoken against the gargantuan
corruption in Commonwealth Games' contracts, but Lokpal wants the
right "to recommend cancellation or modification of a lease, license,
permission, contract or agreement, it if was obtained by corrupt means
and to recommend blacklisting of a firm, company, contractor or any
other person involved in an act of corruption."
One column cannot list the glaring defects in the draft. It wants its
investigating officers to enjoy all powers vested in a police officer
investigating offences under the Cr.P.C. and on the Director of
Enforcement under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 and
Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002. It will have the powers of a
civil court trying a suit under the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908,
which are truly mind-boggling.
Above all, it wants the power to intercept telephones, internet, and
any other forms of communication. The punitive powers are staggering –
jail terms up to life imprisonment; fines recoverable as arrears of
land revenue (public auction of property); right to deduct fines from
salaries of non-conforming government servants; right to appoint
George Orwell-style Big Brothers in every district, and confiscate
assets and properties deemed to be acquired by corrupt acts, including
parental properties.
This fascist bill is a recipe for simultaneous paralysis and
hyperactivity in all government departments. No minister or officer
will take a decision that could bring a motivated Lokpal enquiry;
officials will gang up against officers who incur Lokpal anger to save
their own skins and salaries; while deals favoured by one or 10 Little
Emperors will have smooth passage. No wonder there is no Right to
Recall and no clear procedure for removing a corrupt Lokpal. Indeed,
the draft does not even envisage the possibility of a corrupt Lokpal.

One of the most inspiring articles! Gives insights into how and why he acts the
way he does and the the divine hand behind his successes.
Note: (It appears the articles were written in the pre hindu awakening stage of
Dr Swamy since we notice a few anti BJP etc comments here and there).

Parmacharya - Part I
Subramanian Swamy
http://janataparty.org/articledetail.asp?rowid=18
I have bowed before only one sanyasi in my life, and that is Sri
Chandrasekhar Saraswathi, known to the world as the Parmacharya. It is
not that I am arrogant or that I have no respect for sanyasis and
sadhus. In fact I respect many sadhus in this country for their
learning and social services. But my upbringing, first in an English
convent school, and then ten years in USA had created a distance
between me and traditional Hindu culture of bowing and prostrating
before any elder, or anyone in saffron clothes. Therefore, I was the
"modern" Indian, believer in science, and with little concern for
spiritual diversions.
In fact till the age of 30, I had not even heard of a god like human
being called Sri Chandrasekhar Saraswathi. It was a chance meeting
with an Indian student at Harvard in his room in the university
hostel, that I saw a picture of Parmacharya on top of this student's
TV set. I asked him: "Who is he? And why are you keeping his picture?"
The student just avoided the question. I also forgot about it, except
that Parmacharya shining smiling face in that photograph got etched in
my memory. Six years later, as my Pan American Airways plane was about
to land at Delhi airport during the Emergency, I saw that smiling
Parmacharya's face reappear before me for a brief second for no reason
at that time. I was coming to Delhi surreptitiously to make my now
famous appearance in Parliament and subsequent disappearance, while a
MISA warrant was pending for my arrest in the Emergency. At that
moment, as the plane landed, I resolved that whenever the Emergency
gets over, I shall search for Parmacharya and meet him.
In 1977, after the Emergency was over, and the Janata Party in Power I
went to Kanchipuram to see the Parmacharya. It was in sheer curiosity
that I went. Some friends arranged for me to come before him. It was a
hot June evening, and Parmacharya was sitting in a cottage, a few
kilometers outside Kanchipuram. As soon as he saw me, he abruptly got
up, and turned his back on me, and went inside the cottage. My friends
who took me there were greatly embarrassed, and I was puzzled. Since
no body including the other sadhus at that ashram had any idea what
went wrong, I told my friends that we should leave, since Parmacharya
was not interested in giving me "darshan".
From the cottage, we walked a few hundred yards to where my car, by
which I had come to the ashram, had been parked. Just as I was getting
into the car, a priest came running to me. He said "Parmacharya wants
to see you, so please come back". Again puzzled, I walked back to the
cottage.
Back at the cottage, a smiling Parmacharya was waiting for me. He
first asked me in Tamil: "Do you understand Tamil?" I nodded. In those
days, I hardly knew much Tamil, but I hoped the Parmacharya would
speak in the simplest Tamil to make it easy to understand.
He then asked me another question: "Who gave you permission to leave
my cottage?" The Tamil word he used for "permission" was of Sanskrit
origin, which I immediately understood. So in my broken Tamil with a
mixture of English words, I replied: "Since you turned your back on me
and went inside the cottage, I thought you did not want to see me."
This reply greatly irritated the priest standing in attendance on the
Parmacharya.
He said "You cannot talk like this to the Parmacharya". But
Parmacharya asked him to be silent, and then said that when he saw me,
he was reminded of a press cutting he had been keeping in store inside
the cottage and he had gone inside to fetch it.
"Here it is" he said. "Open it and read it. I opened the folded press
cutting, and with some difficulty, I read the Tamil question answer
piece printed in Dinamani Kadir, a magazine of Indian Express group.
The press cutting had a photograph of me and below it the question
asked by a reader: "Is the hero of the Emergency struggle,
Dr.Subramanian Swamy a Tamilian?" And the answer given was, "Yes he is
a native of Cholavandhan of Madurai District."
Parmacharya asked me, "Is this your photograph, and is the answer
given to the question correct?" I nodded. Then Parmacharya said: "Now
you may go. But in the future when you come, you cannot leave till I
give you permission to leave." Everyone around me was naturally very
impressed, that Parmacharya had given so much special attention
especially since in those days, he often went on manuvvat (silence
vow). As I left a sense of elation at the meeting with Parmacharya. I
wanted to come back again. I could not understand why a "modern"
person like me should want to see a sanyasi, but I felt the urge
strongly.
A month later, the Tamilnadu Assembly elections were on, and I was
passing Kanchipuram in the campaign rail. So I told the Janata Party
workers to spare me some time to pay a visit to the Parmacharya.
When I again reached the same cottage, a priest was waiting for me. He
said: "Parmacharya is expecting you." I asked: "How is this possible,
when I decided at that last minute to come, without appointment?" The
priest replied. "That is a silly thing to ask. Parmacharya is divine.
He knows every thing".
Sure enough a radiant smiling Parmacharya received me. I thought that
this time too, our meeting would last a few minutes, and after a few
pleasantries, I can continue on my election campaign. But not so.
Parmacharya spoke to me for 1-1 1/2 hours on all important subjects.
He gave me guidelines on how to conduct myself in politics and what
was necessary to protect the national interest of the country.
He told me that in politics, I should never bother about money or
position, because both would follow me whenever an occasion demanded.
But I should not be afraid to stand alone. He told me that all great
persons of India were those who changed the thinking of the people
from a particular set way of thought to a new way of thinking. "That
is the permanent achievement for a politician, not merely becoming
Minister or Prime Minister. Great persons, starting with Adi Shankara,
to Mahatma Gandhi dared to stand alone and change the trend of
people's thought. But did either hold a government position?" he asked
me. He said "If you dare to think out fresh solutions for current
problems, without bothering about your popularity, and without caring
for whether a government position comes to you or not, you will have
my blessings." When he said that I felt a strange sensation of
happiness. I suddenly felt very strong.
During the period since my first meeting with the Parmacharya, I had
thought a lot about him, heard his praise from so many people. From
what I learnt and what I saw of him, I began to feel his divinity.
There was no other human like him. If nothing else, he was one sadhu
who did not bless Indira Gandhi during the Emergency when in the
height of her power and at the height if the nation's sycophancy, she
came and prostrated before him. And yet when Indira Gandhi was down
during the Janata rule, he received her and gave his blessings to her
after she repented for the Emergency.
It is this thought, every time (that if I do something sincerely, and
for what is for the good of the people) that Parmacharya's blessings
will be with me and see me through the interim period of public and
media criticism and unpopularity, that has given me this courage that
today even my enemies do not deny that I possess. In such endeavours,
even though in the beginning when most thought that I was doomed, I
came out it successful in the end because of his blessing.
In the next few instalments I shall, without drawing the Parmacharya's
name into the controversy, reveal many such initiatives that I took
with his blessings. From 1977 to his day of Samadhi, I met the
Parmacharya so many times and received his oral benediction and
advice. But I never gave it publicity or got myself photographed.
During his life time, I did not boast of my proximity to him either,
although whenever I came to the Kanchi Mutt, always without
appointment, he would see me. If he was asleep, he was awakened by his
close helpers to whom he had obviously given instructions about me.
There may not be another god in human form for another 100 years, but
it was my honour to have known him and received his blessings. He may
not be here today in human form, but because of what he had instructed
me, I know and feel his is around.
Parmacharya - Part II
Subramanian Swamy
After wonderful discourse from Maha Periyawal Sri Chandrashekhara
Saraswathi in 1977, I went to have Parmacharya's darshan numerous
times. Whenever I had a difficult question that I could not answer, I
would go and ask him for guidance. He gave me audience also in
abundance. I got to see him whenever I came to Kanchipuram, or at
Belgam in Karnataka or at Satara in Maharashtra or wherever else he
was. But I did not publicize these darshan sessions in the newspapers
as some others were doing. This was greatly appreciated by the Mutt
officials and pujaris.
When Indira Gandhi returned to power in 1980, defeating the Janata
Party, I was upset, and wondered if Emergency would be declared again.
So I went with a group of Janata workers to the Karnataka -
Maharashtra border, where Sri Parmacharya was camping on his walking
tour. When I reached him, he was sitting in a hut almost as if he was
waiting for me. As soon as he saw me, he got up and started briskly
walking to a nearby temple. I just stood there watching him. Soon he
stopped walking and sent someone to ask me to come to him alone.
When I reached where he was standing, he said to me anticipating my
question; "It is a good thing that Indira Gandhi has got an absolute
majority. At this juncture, the country needs a stable government, and
only Indira Gandhi is in a position to give that stability." "But what
if she declares another Emergency and tries to put us all in jail?" I
asked.
To this question, Parmacharya only smiled and put his hand up in his
known style of bestowing his blessings. I did not realize at that
time, that Indira Gandhi had before elections, gone to Hubli in
Karnataka where he was camping and prostrated before the Parmacharya.
On her own, she had vowed to him and had said that if she came back to
power, she will not repeat the mistakes of the past of declaring an
Emergency. Then she asked for his blessings, which the Parmacharya had
given by raising his hand and showing his palm.
As I was leaving, Parmacharya asked me if I could work to unite the
opposition and include the communists in it. "Communists!" I asked in
utter incredulity. I added: "The Soviet Union has just invaded
Afghanistan (December 27, 1979), and are preparing to capture
Pakistan, and then soon they will swallow India. How can we believe
the Communists?"
"Not like that at all" said Parmacharya to me. He clearly gave me a
hint that Communists will never be a danger to India. In fact he gave
me a clear indication that in some years to come the Soviet Union will
not be there at all. I just could not believe what I heard. But eleven
years later, that is exactly what happened. The Soviet Union broke up
in 1991 into 16 countries, a development no human being foresaw.
Parmacharya was above human, a divine soul. He could see it. To this
day I regret that I did not act on his advice because I spent nearly a
decade (ten years 1980 -90) opposing Communism, little realizing that
it was going to collapse of its own weight. I earned the Communists
enmity for nothing. That is the only advice of Parmacharya I did not
act on. On other occasions, I blindly followed whatever he told me.
Of course, the golden rule with Parmacharya was that he would not on
his own offer any advice, but when I asked him, he showed me the way.
When my mind was made up on anything, I did not ask him what I should
do. Of course if I did not have his blessings, I rarely succeeded.
In 1987 for example, I tried to land with some fisherman in the island
of Katchathivu to assert the rights of fisherman under the Indo-Sri
Lanka accord. MGR was Chief Minister then. He had me arrested in
Madurai and put me up in Tamilnadu Hotel instead of Madurai jail. The
then DGP, told me clearly that unless I give up the Katchathivu trip
and agreed to return to Chennai, they would keep me under arrest.
Those days I knew little criminal Law, so I agreed to return to
Chennai not knowing my rights. After arriving in the city I drove to
Kanchipuram and saw the Parmacharya. I told him of my humiliation and
my inability to go to Katchathivu. Parmacharya smiled at me as if I
was a child. He told me: "You go to Delhi and file a case in the
Supreme Court against the arrest, and ask the court to direct the
Tamilnadu government to make arrangements for you to go Katchathivu".
So I flew that evening to Delhi. My wife is an advocate in the Supreme
Court, so I asked her to draft my writ petition. She was shocked by my
request, "The Supreme Court will laugh at you if you come directly on
a question of arrest. You must first go before Magistrate in Madurai,
then Sessions Court, the High Court, and then only to Supreme Court"
she said.
I insisted that she draft the petition. So finally she said "As an
advocate, I don't want to look foolish in the Court. So I will draft
your petition but the rest you do. I won't associate with it." But my
blind faith in Parmacharya kept me going. With the petition filed, I
appeared in the Court of the Chief Justice Venkataramiah. I arrived in
the Court a few minutes before the Chief Justice took his seat. Many
lawyers who recognized me met me to ask why I had come, they all

After the Supreme Court verdict, I met Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in
Parliament House. Kuldip Singh had already informed him of the court
verdict. So he told me: "Why did you not speak to me first? I would
