ABOUT INDIAN NATIONAL LITERACY
RATE OF 65.3%

prick the 'bubble' of 1.6 million
Asian 'Indians' in the US!

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.
