India's Science & Technology Development minister Pundit Murli Manohar Joshi orders that Earthquakes be predicted by astrology, NOT computors
Punjab government should not allow 'Brahmin-schools' in Sikh Homeland
UNESCO must stop funding India's 'Brahmin-schools'
Washington, D.C., Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - India's Human Resources and Scientific Development minister, Pundit Murli Manohar Joshi, a cow-urine-drinking Brahmin, recently ridiculed India's Scientists who, "with advanced computers sometimes fail to predict major earthquakes," and upbraided their 'scientific-fundamentalism' for dismissing warning from Hindu astrologers whose. "ancient Indian science can foretell the future by studying the stars which gives them the tools to foretell the time and sometimes even the exact date and time of an earthquake."India's Scientific Development & Human Resources minister, Professor Pundit Murli Manohar Joshi, (a Brahmin, & one of the ruling troika with a finger on the Indian nuclear button - others being Prime minister Pundit Vajpayee & his deputy, L. K. Advani) was inaugurating a workshop on "Predicting Earthquakes and Calamities," in New Delhi recently when he made the above statement. Joshi rebuked the country's scientific community to their face - who made up the audience - by suggesting that they should shed their skepticism and use astrology (a pseudoscience, according to the Encyclopedia Brittanica, which is based on the notion that the position of the moon, sun, and stars effect human affairs and that one can foretell the future by studying the stars etc.,) to predict earthquakes and other natural disasters. Last year the Scientific Development minister, Pundit Joshi, proposed that astrology be introduced in schools, and at least one state government has begun offering the subject.
A couple of months ago, India's leading English language News-weekly, OUTLOOK-INDIA, reported (in its March 10, 2003 issue) that the same Federal minister mentioned above, Professor Pundit Murli Manohar Joshi, had so much faith and belief in the divinity of the cow, that theories such as, 'earthquakes are caused by the indiscriminate slaughter of cows' found resonance in some institutions presided over by his Human Resources & Science & Technology (HRD) ministry. The magazine reported that a 'scientist' (of the HRD ministry) who, "had arrived, at the conclusion that all seismic upheavals are caused by cow slaughter is Permanand Mittal of the Bharatiya Govansh Rakshan-Sanvardhan Parishad. In a booklet ('Goraksha, Atmaraksha, Rashtraraksha A factual scientific evaluation'), Mittal quotes an unknown research paper by two Delhi University professors: "When she sees her children getting ruthlessly slaughtered, the mother earth screams and writhes in agony. That's what becomes an earthquake." For details, please see article written by Purnima Joshi, headlined, 'The Udderworld', by clicking at:
www.outlookindia.com/full.asp?fodname=20030310&fname=Cover+Story+(F)&sid=3.In the above OUTLOK-INDIA article, headlined 'The Udderworld', Purnima Joshi, (a niece of the Science & Technology Development minister, Mr. Murli Manohar Joshi) gives an intimate background of the minister, and his yearning for cow urine, in the following words, and we quote verbatim, that, "As a child, minister for Science and Technology Development, Murli Manohar Joshi, witnessed the amazing spectacle of people drinking cow urine 'straight from the source'. He made this revelation before a stunned audience at an Indian National Science Academy meet last year. Joshi confided that at that time he too thought it 'dirty'. But years of academic training and ideological proximity to the RSS/VHP has clearly convinced him that such 'ancient practices' have a strong scientific basis. To popularise urine therapy, the VHP and its affiliates plan to set up one lakh (one hundred thousand) therapy centres all over the country. Over 200 such centres have already been established in 18 states. Most of these centres and labs are located in Gujarat and MadhyaPradesh. Assisting them in their endeavour to scientifically prove the divinity of the cow are the csir, the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI), the Central Drug Research Institute (CDRI) and the National Botanical Research Institute (NBRI)."

Apart from the BJP rulers introducing Hindu astrology, cow-urine therapy and admiration of Hitler, to Indian textbooks etc., etc., and removing Nathuram Godse's name from history books who murdered Gandhi in 1948, the two most disturbing and blatant developments, are the sponsorship of 'Brahmin-schools' by UNESCO and the militarization of education. If the first deals with the moves by the central government to open ‘Brahmin-schools’, with due assistance from UNESCO, the other concerns the singleminded preparations underway for the militarisation of education. Remember the little monsters, the 'Hitler-Youth' in the 1930-40's in Germany who would even spy on their parents and siblings? .
It all started seven months ago, in January 2002, when an interesting announcement appeared in a section of the media. It said that the BJP-led government had decided to open special ‘Brahmin-schools’ supposedly for the popularisation of the Vedas. Through the good offices of a central minister, the UNESCO was persuaded to dole out Rs. 5 crore for this scheme. Under this scheme, 'Brahmin schools' are being opened in different parts of the country. To encourage meritorious Brahmin students, 10 students in each school would be given a scholarship of Rs. 2,000 per month while 10 other students would be given Rs. 1,000 per month. The teachers would get a consolidated salary of Rs. 10,000 per month. These schools, to be called, Gurukul Ved Pathshalas, would impart education through the oral tradition. We appeal to the UN Secretary General and UNESCO to deny funds to the 'Brahmin-schools' in India as it is a criminal Neo-Nazi scheme cooked up by the BJP Hindutva-fundamentalist rulers who currently misrule India.
January, 2003, saw the move to open 'Brahmin-schools', and the month of February was reserved for the stablishment of a high-level task force by the HRD ministry’s department of secondary and higher education to look into ways and means of introducing 'compulsory military training, social service’ and making "the national curriculum attuned to the concept of cultural nationalism’’. The aforesaid task force has submited its report to make "secondary education more relevant to our times, needs and aspiration and will help keep pace with the global demands." The report seeks to re-emphasise the supremacy of the Brahminical system and is obviously an attempt to sow the seeds of jingoism at the college level itself.
Subhash Gatade, a writer and social activist, who edits a Hindi journal, Sandhan, writing on this development has correctly seen through the conspiracy. He writes that, "The idea of compulsory military training also fits in well with the agenda of the RSS. Time and again, the RSS ideologues, ranging from the Hedgewars to the Sudershans, have lamented the ‘cowardice’ of the Hindus and have called upon them to be virile and (in the words of Golwalkar Guruji) resort to 'parakramwad'. KS Sudershan, the present sangh supremo never loses an opportunity to reiterate his pet theme of the ‘coming epic war between the Hindus and the non-Hindus’. One does not know what will happen next. Whether the forces with this squinted vision will carry on unchecked, trying to ‘articulate’ a fictitious dialogue with the past to further rationalise their pogroms and massacres or their ‘successful experiments’?"
We hope the Captain Amrinder Singh's Congress government in Indian-occupied Punjab, Khalistan, is wise to the crafty 'Brahmin' and the ruling BJP's Hindutva-fundamentalist plans. We suggest the Chief minister read last week's Khalistan Calling as a backgrounder to know the enemy, by clicking at the following link at: www.khalistan-affairs.org/Main/K_Calling/kc09102003.htm. We hope the Chief minister will do his duty to the motherland and not permit any militarized and subversive 'Brahmin-schools' to be established on the soil of the Sikh Homeland specially among the Hindi-speaking migrant workers from the Cow-belt.
