Mr. Modi be my HERO in real life too!

How I waited for the day to come when Narendra Damodardas Modi will lead my country India. Finally in-spite of all the hurdles n' hiccups, HE took oath on 26th of May as a Prime Minister of India. This was the day I for the first time ever since came to Germany wished I could be in India.

This man who has been held responsible for the killings of Minorities in Gujarat in 2002 by Indian Media and Politicians mainly from Congress defied all logical thinking and went to lead us and WITH WHAT - HIS VISION. This Man in-spite of been demonized for more then a decade kept cool like a cucumber and concentrated only on one thing. How to uplift Gujarat? It took him just first 5years of governance to prove to the Gujarat that he means Business. He changed the face of Indian Politics n' Politicians. He took Gujarat altogether to a different level so much that even his critics started praising him for his good governance. Form here, he went to lead his State for about 13 years and NOW he is leading 1.25 billion Indians. I hope the way he changed Gujarat he will do same with the entire country which is plagued by the corruption, no fear of Law n' Order, inflation, pollution, population explosion, electricity problems, poverty etc... 

I know changing all these is not easy and one days job BUT I also know if he focuses he will deliver and my belief is based on his past performance. It is not certainly not going to be a cake walk for him especially when his critics from all walks of life are waiting out there for him to pounce on him. It has not been even a month and they have started shouting. Then the happenings like killing of a Pune boy by some Hindu hardliners  adding as fodder to these critics. I hope they don't have many chances to hog on such issues and for this not to become a ritual Mr. Modi will have to play tough. He will have to control the hardliners even in his own party. India is a democratic country with Muslims as 2nd largest population and if he wants to be here for a long long time he will have to find a way to take them as well as every other Minority community along-with him. Just merely by saying "Sabh Ka Sath Sabh Ka Vikas" is not enough. He has to be constructive to win their hearts and minds and be fast with it. He will have remove the fear n' insecurity from the hearts of these people who have been fed with all wrong stories by the Media n' Opposition. He will once again have to prove all of them wrong only then will he really be able to enjoy his position in our Country.

The day he proves all his critics wrong again I will bow my head in reverence again and will shout on top of my voice that Mr. Modi you have become my real HERO. 

BUT if he fails, he will never ever raise again and my belief n' faith in him and in my convictions will also die forever. I will continue keeping my fingers crossed and praying that Mr. Modi  remains as my real life HERO till I am alive - Tatha-astu!

Be determined, say women fighting for justice

New Delhi, March 6 (IANS) Neelam Krishnamurthy, Neelam Katara, Indu Jalali, Sabina Lall...They are all women who have been moved by personal tragedy to step into India's courts day after day to bring culprits to book, inspiring in the process hundreds of thousands who had lost faith in the system.

So what does International Women's Day March 8 mean to them?

Krishnamurthy, convener of the Association of Victims of Uphaar Tragedy (AVUT), who lost two of her children in the Uphaar fire tragedy that claimed 59 innocent lives in 1997, believes it is about determination.

'Women's Day is not about someone taking a prize in the auditorium amidst a small crowd, it's about their empowerment at the grassroots,' Krishnamurthy told IANS.

She said women's empowerment starts from home where a father gives equal rights to his daughter, a husband gives due respect to his wife and a brother gives equal liberty to his sister.

'Strong determination is the only way out if women want to make their presence felt in a male-dominated society,' Krishnamurthy said.

She has been at the forefront of the Uphaar case, which last year saw a lower court convicting business tycoon brothers Sushil and Gopal Ansal along with 10 others. But nothing has been able to fill the vacuum created by the death of her children.

'People say life moves on, but only those who go through pain know that it never does. I feel as if I have been served a living death sentence all these years, fighting for justice,' said Krishnamurthy.

'All my friends and relatives wanted me to adopt a child, but I could never do it. They didn't understand my pain. That is when I realised that no one can help you and you have to deal with your grief on your own,' Krishnamurthy said.

Indu Jalali, who fought for justice for her friend Priyadarshini Mattoo under the banner of 'Justice for Priyadarshini', said: 'In the beginning we were not taken seriously by anyone and instead everyone discouraged us. But our determination helped us in sailing through the tides of sorrow and pain.'

Priyadarshini was brutally raped and murdered Jan 23, 1996, in broad daylight in a south Delhi locality by her senior at the Law Faculty, Delhi University, Santosh Kumar Singh, the son of a senior police officer. He was given the death sentence by the Delhi High Court in October 2006.

'No one supported us but with time and the help of people belonging to various sections of society, justice was achieved,' said Jalali.

'Women need to get rid of taboos prevailing in our society and come out strongly against injustice to them. Until they make themselves heard, no one will help them,' she said.

The resolute face of Sabrina Lall was one splashed in the media time and again as she fought for justice for her sister Jessica who was shot dead by Manu Sharma, the son of a powerful and wealthy politician, in April 1999.

Even as her parents died during the course of trial, Sabrina carried on her fight, inspiring the nation to back her with all its might. In 2006, the Delhi High Court sentenced Manu Sharma to life imprisonment and two other accomplices and co-accused to four years in jail.

Neelam Katara, the mother of Nitish Katara, is another such woman. Nitish was kidnapped and killed allegedly by ex-Rajya Sabha MP D.P. Yadav's son Vikas and his cousin Vishal Yadav in February 2002. The case is still pending in a trial court.

As she waits for justice, Neelam Katara said: 'The system needs to be more sensitive towards women, especially in cases of rape and molestation where the protection of their identity is more important.

'Education of women needs to be strengthened and only then will they be able to take important decisions of their life themselves.'
