Muslim Terrorism Against The Endless Crusades

K G Somasekharan Nair — 2013-08-12T11:02:57Z

Since the unknown past, Judaism has had four traditional castes, namely, Pharisees, Sadduces, Essenes and Zealots. Each claimed its purity, sanctity and supremacy over the other. Therefore, one among them did not recognise the other and arrived at a determination of intolerance: “one caste, one religion and one god for men”. In the Dark Age, St. Ambrose, St. Augustine and Pope Gregory derived a homily from their parental religion, Judaism: “one religion, one Church and one empire for the (…)

Sethusamudram: A Project Crippled By Myth

K G Somasekharan Nair — 2013-06-15T17:34:13Z

The Government of India designed and launched the Sethusamudram shipping channel project in 2005 for which Rs 25,000 crores was the expenditure estimated then. Now ships from the Abrabian Sea to the Bay of Bengal have to circumnavigate Sri Lanka because between Dhanushkodi of Tamil Nadu and Thalaimannar of Sri Lanka there is a shallow sea along with soil formations like broken bund. If a deep waterway is made by dredging out 83 kms there, ships from the Cape Comorin side to Kolkata and (…)

Opulent Kerala and Evil-eyed Planning Commission

K G Somasekharan Nair — 2013-04-12T18:28:04Z

While lecturing at a function in Kochi on September 11, 2012, Montek Singh Ahluwalia, the Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission, exhorted the Keralites to move out of paddy cultivation and use paddy fields for industries or other profitable purposes. As he is the bureaucratic head of the Planning Commission and the venue was an official meeting conducted by the Government of Kerala, what he said was not his personal opinion but the official decision. In order to arrive at this decision (…)

Kerala: Eazhanair Combination — A Boost For Hindu Fundamentalism

K G Somasekharan Nair — 2012-11-21T18:45:46Z

August 2012 has much importance in the chronicle of communal politics in Kerala. For that was the month when leaders of two caste-based organisations decided to merge by forgetting all discords and enmities maintained by them for decades. Those were the SNDP of the Ezhavas and NSS of the Nairs. There is no official report regarding the number of members each caste has but it is believed that Ezhavas constitute 25 per cent and Nairs 15 per cent of the total population of the State. Both (…)

Mullaperiyar: Dispute on the Amendment made in a Lapsed Agreement

K G Somasekharan Nair — 2012-08-17T09:02:32Z

Mullaperiyar, a conflicting subject between Kerala and Tamil Nadu, is of much national importance. Because settlement of such disputes between two linguistic States, amicably and not forcibly, is essential for national integration. The dispute has a prolonged historical background. In 1886 the Maharaja of Travancore agreed to lease out 8000 acres of hill track in the Western Ghats surrounding the valley of the river Periyar to the British Government for constructing a dam and reservoir. This (…)

Criminal Heritage of Britain and Pre-trial Conviction under IPC

K G Somasekharan Nair — 2012-07-26T22:26:24Z

The instrument of criminal justice—the Indian Penal Code—was drafted by Lord Macaulay when he functioned Law Minister of India from 1834 to 1838. It is a tribute to his superb draftsmanship that the Indian Penal Code is one of the least amended statutes in India. —Nani A. Palkivala
The basic concept of justice in the foreign-made Indian Penal Code, imposed revengefully by the bandit queen Victoria on the third anni-versary of the war independence 1857, is that all Indians are habitual (…)

Gandhian Democracy: Ignored by the Constitutionalists of India

K G Somasekharan Nair — 2012-02-14T16:28:02Z

“The condition of England at present is pitiable. I pray to God that India may never be in that plight. That which you consider to be the Mother of Parliaments is like a sterile woman and a prostitute. Both these are harsh terms, but exactly fit the case.” —Gandhiji
The cruel buffooneries of the English Parliament started in the term of King Henry VIII (1509-47) who inaugurated Reformation in England through his immoral life. He decided to divorce his wife, Catherine Aragon, to marry Anne (…)

Impeach the Magna Carta, not Judges

K G Somasekharan Nair — 2011-11-05T14:17:52Z

A judge of the Calcutta High Court, Justice Soumitra Sen, had been summoned up by the Rajya Sabha on August 18, 2011 to switch on the impeachment process on certain allegations levelled against him. The judge being subjected to impeachment and the members impeaching him scourged at the judiciary with different perspectives apocalyptically. The words of the perspicacious judge under shadow may be ignored as it may be his last subterfuge. But criticisms unleashed by the members of the Rajya (…)

Karl Marx Never Lied—testifies the Treasures of Sri Padmanabha

K G Somasekharan Nair — 2011-08-10T11:03:36Z

While discoursing upon the prolonged golden age of India that existed before colonial subjugation made by the pauperised English Sovereign for terrorised plunder and proselytisation, Karl Marx wrote: “Oppression and neglect of agriculture, bad as it is, could not be looked upon as the final blow dealt to Indian society by the British intruder, had it not been attended by a circumstance of quite different importance, a novelty in the Asiatic world. However changing the political aspect of (…)

France Sans Precedents

K G Somasekharan Nair — 2011-07-10T15:38:38Z

The following article was sent to us quite sometime ago but could not be used earlier due to unavoidable reasons. —Editor
Law of a particular nation should be determined by its national characteristics and must bear relation to the climate of each country, the quality of each soil, the situation and extent, the principal occupations of the natives and, above all, to the religion of the inhabitants, to their inclinations, riches, commerce, manners and customs.
—Montesquieu
