Washington DC: May 23, 2001: The Indian Census Bureau instead of correcting a typographical error in the national % of literacy figure, is continuing to trumpet the false national literacy figures for India (and its 25 states) under the false assumption that repetition will transform a lie into a truth and hide the fact that the world's largest dystopia - and Castocracy - has over half a billion (yes half a billion) illiterates - more than the rest of the world combined - who are even denied clean drinking water and a latrine after 53 years of independence and so-called 'nation-building' following two centuries of benign British Colonial rule.

 

According to the "Provisional population Totals-Census 2001" released by the Indian Census Bureau which can be viewed on its web site and is also appended below (http://www.censusindia.net/results/statedata.html) the population of India is shown as over one billion - 1,027,015,247 persons to be precise. The 'Absolute Literates' are shown, on the same site (as well as other Census of India-2001 sites) as totaling over five hundred and sixty six million males and females; 566,714,995 literate persons to be exact. This figure (also doctored we believe) represents an unprecedented increase in literates (of over two hundred million persons in a 10-year period) something, which has NEVER happened before as in the past the population increase has always outrun the increase in literates in India. Any kindergarten student can see that the later figure makes a percentage of 56.3% of the population as literate and not 65.3% as shown by the above and other Indian Census Bureau web sites. Obviously a typographical error was made by a clerk/typist and 65.3% was typed instead of 56.3%. The crafty and morally repugnant BJP rulers (who misrule in New Delhi and are well known all over South Asia for their lies, corruption, greed and lust for power) have grabbed the false 'doctored' national literacy figure of 65.3% and are bouncing it around boasting that: "the country was expected to achieve a 75 per cent literacy rate in the next five years. See India's Human Resource Development minister, and a future Prime minister, Pundit Murli Manohar Joshi's statement printed in the Times of India and other Indian print media (http://www.timesofindia.com/080401/08indi13.htm) .

 

Instead of correcting the above typographical mistake (first exposed seven weeks ago in the Khalistan Calling dated April 04, 2001 and widely circulated to the Indian media - see;

 (http://www.khalistan-affairs.org/main/k_calling/kc04042001.htm) the morally repugnant, fascist, Brahmin-fundamentalist, Swastika-worshipping Indian rulers (the BJP coalition) are running all over the world with the doctored figure - of 65.3 % literacy for India - without any consideration that false statistics will not only effect planning in India but will tarnish the image and integrity of the statistics in various Encyclopedias, Almanacs, Think Tanks and prestigious institutions like the IMF, the US State Department and World Bank et. al. This column made it a point to repeat, and again ridicule, the 'doctored' Indian census figures for literacy in the Khalistan Calling of April 20, 2001 to no effect; see (http://www.khalistan-affairs.org/main/k_calling/kc04202001.htm). Obviously these true scions of Adolf Hitler and his propaganda minister Dr. Joseph Goebbels (1897-1945) who misrule in New Delhi have proven by their behaviour that they believe in Hitler's evil words first written in his (1924) autobiography Mein Kampf that; "The great masses of the people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one." We hope and pray and appeal to the prestigious World Bank, the IMF (International Monetary Fund), the US State Department, the CIA, the Encyclopedia Brittanica, and New York Times World Almanac et. al., that they take note of this attack on their integrity (and the collective intelligence of the international community) and not fall prey to the machinations of the crafty and morally repugnant Brahmin-fundamentalists Neo-Nazis currently ruling India. The above named international organizations should take concrete steps to nail the 'big lie' of a 65.3% national literacy rate in squalidly India otherwise the credibility of their publications will be compromised.

 

Very interestingly, by a coincidence, India's most prestigious English language newspaper The Hindu, of May 18, 2001, carried prominently an excellent and truthful article, by C. V. Gopalakrishnan, on the state of Indian literacy, headlined; "Poor progress in spread of literacy" (http://www.indiaserver.com/thehindu/2001/05/18/stories/0218000y.htm). Mr. Gopalakrishnan has quoted a study sponsored by a Canadian Research Centre. He writes, and we quote verbatim, that; "The progress made in India in literacy is very slow, according to an exhaustive study carried out by the Centre for Development Studies, Thiruvananthapuram, sponsored by the International Development Research Centre, Ottawa, Canada. According to the latest figures compiled by the (Canadian) centre the percentage of literacy for the entire country (India) is 39.3% and 64.1 for females and males respectively." - (which amounts to a national literacy rate of 51.7 percent, yes 51.7%). The states accounting for a literacy rate below 30 per cent are those in the Hindu belt of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar, while in Andhra Pradesh and Orrissa it is slightly above 30 percent." End quote.

 

Lo and behold, a chart on the website of Census India 2001 claims that the states of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar were found by the CensusIndia-2001 to have a literacy rate of 58%, 65% and 49% respectively. The literacy figures for Andhra Pradesh and Orrissa following the 2001 Census are now being shown as a respectable 62% and 65% respectively; see:

(http://www.censusindia.net/charts/fig16.html) an all round increase of about 30% in the literacy rate. An increase in literacy the like of which no country in this world has ever seen before. Some progress! Some exaggeration! Some lies! Some liars these BJP coalition rulers of India!

 

In a related development this week the Indian print media, both in the United States and India - with Times of India in the lead - has gone overboard with stories about the 'discovery' that the Asian-Indian population in the U.S. has; "recorded a phenomenal growth of 105.87 per cent in the last decade (1990-2000) the highest among all Asian origin groups." The Times of India's very able Washington correspondent Chidanand Rajghatta, who has a very fertile imagination, trumpeted; "Indians are coming. Indians are coming," and 'filed a claim' that there are two million Indians in the United States and the 2000 Census was an under count (http://www.timesofindia.com/200501/20home5.htm). The Indian print media this week is repeatedly quoting the US Census Bureau - Profile of General Demographic Characteristics - that the Asian Indian population doubled during the period 1990-2000 from 815,447 to 1.6 million.

 

However, not one of these Indian 'journalists', or should they be called 'operatives', has mentioned that the US Census Bureau has made a mistake because of its lack of knowledge of the unique psychohistory of South Asia when it added a box for the first time in the 2000 Census forms which showed a separate category of 'Asian Indian', a kind of a statistical 'coup' for the crafty Indian rulers. The US Census Bureau - please note for the next census - should have instead, added a separate box 'South Asian' with a provision to write in if one was a Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Indian, Sri Lankan, Afghan, Sikh, Nepali, or a Maldivian Islander. Unfortunately with a box for 'Asian Indian' staring one in the face hundreds of thousands of people of South Asian origin from Trinidad, Suriname, Guyana, Jamaica, Fiji, Malaysia, Mauritius, South Africa, East Africa et. al., who are now settled in the US (whose forefathers were indentured from South Asia by the British Colonials to work on their plantations nearly a century ago) tick marked that 'Asian-Indian' box. The Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, Afghan, Sikh and Nepali origin Americans were thus marginalized despite their growing numbers (there are more Pakistani Americans than Japanese/Americans) as they did not have a separate box on the Census form and were all dumped together as 'Other Asian' and many of them mistakenly marked the 'Asian Indian' box on the Census form.

 

Lest the 'Brahmin-caste' Hindus in the United States (the core constituency of the Swastika-worshipping Fundamentalist BJP Indian government, who number no more than a paltry forty thousand or so in the United States, and many of them are fronts and conduits, a la Gadhia, for Indian Intelligence funds trying to corrupt the American electoral system) get swollen-headed we Sikhs consider it our duty to send them a reminder. The AmericanIndianBrahmins ought to remember that out of the 1.6 million Asian Indians ('discovered' by the 2000 US Census) nearly seven hundred thousand have 'Singh' or 'Kaur' as part of their name - which means they are Sikhs. Another four hundred thousand have Muslim names and there are two hundred thousand Christians. ALL of whom, Sikhs, Christians and Muslims, are outraged and have gotten no pleasure in being counted as 'Asian Indians' to be used as a lobbying tool in the US by the morally repugnant and fundamentalist, Brahmin ruling caste of India.

 

The 700,000 American Sikhs in particular, a good number of whom have found asylum in these great United States from the caste-ridden Brahmin tyranny which is India (which destroyed in 1984 their holiest shrine -the Durbar Sahib also known as the Golden Temple - and murdered over ten thousand Sikhs in a state-sponsored pogrom) want 'out' of the world's largest Castocracy - India. They intend to help their nineteen million compatriots captive in India in carving a democratic, nuclear-free, egalitarian, buffer state of Khalistan (West of the Jumna River and East of the Pakistan border). Therefore, counting the Sikhs as Americans of 'Asian-Indian' origin will be very counter productive for the Indian dystopia ruled by a bunch of power-hungry mad 'nuclear lunatics' who see: (http://www.khalistan-affairs.org/main/k_calling/kc05172001.htm) and; (http://www.khalistan-affairs.org/main/k_calling/kc05092001.htm) will only bring death and destruction, not literacy, to the South Asian subcontinent (particularly the Sikh homeland of Occupied Punjab) if they are not circumcised.
