  •  Original Story:

    The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and
    laying up supplies for the winter. The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool
    and laughs dances plays the summer away. Come winter, the Ant is warm and
    well fed. The Grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the
    cold.


    Indian Version:

    The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and
    laying up supplies for the winter. The Grasshopper thinks the Ant's a fool
    and laughs dances plays the summer away.

    Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press conference and demands
    to know why the Ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others
    are cold and starving.

    NDTV, BBC, CNN show up to provide pictures of the shivering Grasshopper
    next to a video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with
    food.

    The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this poor
    Grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

    Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the Ant's house.

    Medha Patkar goes on a fast along with other Grasshoppers demanding that
    Grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during winter .

    Mayawati states this as 'injustice' done on Minorities.

    Amnesty International and Koffi Annan criticize the Indian Government for
    not upholding the fundamental rights of the Grasshopper.

    The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking support to the
    Grasshopper (many promising Heaven & Everlasting Peace for prompt support
    as against the wrath of God for non-compliance) .

    Opposition MPs stage a walkout. Left parties call for 'Bengal Bandh' in
    West Bengal and Kerala demanding a Judicial Enquiry.

    CPM in Kerala immediately passes a law preventing Ants from working hard in
    the heat so as to bring about equality of poverty among Ants and
    Grasshoppers.

    Lalu Prasad allocates one free coach to Grasshoppers on all Indian Railway
    Trains, aptly named as the 'Grasshopper Rath'.

    Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the 'Prevention of Terrorism Against
    Grasshoppers Act'[POTAGA] , with effect from the beginning of the winter..

    Arjun Singh makes 'Special Reservation' for Grasshoppers in Educational
    Institutions in Government Services.

    The Ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and having nothing left
    to pay his retroactive taxes, it's home is confiscated by the Government
    and handed over to the Grasshopper in a ceremony covered by NDTV, BBC, CNN.

    Arundhati Roy calls it 'A Triumph of Justice'.

    Lalu calls it 'Socialistic Justice'.

    CPM calls it the 'Revolutionary Resurgence of the Downtrodden'

    Koffi Annan invites the Grasshopper to address the UN General Assembly.


    Many years later...

    The Ant has since migrated to the US and set up a multi-billion dollar
    company in Silicon Valley ,

    100s of Grasshoppers still die of starvation despite reservation somewhere
    in India ,

    ....AND

    As a result of losing lot of hard working Ants and feeding the
    grasshoppers, India is still a developing country...!!!

    I ve done my duty Will U???

  • Price of petrol and diesel are relatively high INDIA compared to global peers. Government of India and state governments must understand the difficulties facing by common man because of price rice in all sections including groceries, vegetables and all essential commodities and reduce the tax on petrol and diesel to bring it back to affordable levels because every one Rupee rice in diesel will create big holes in common man’s monthly budget.

    Pakistan: Rs: 26
    Bangladesh: Rs: 22
    Cuba: Rs: 19
    Nepal: Rs; 34
    Burma: Rs: 30
    Afganistan: Rs: 36
    India: Rs: 80(in punjab)
    why is there a difference within india itself?
    More Than 40% of Petrol Prices are due to Taxes.Lets take example of petrol price rs 75 on Average.
    Basic Price: Rs 36.41
    Excise duty: Rs 18.72
    Education Tax: Rs 0.54
    Dealer commission: Rs 1.33
    VAT: Rs 7.003
    Crude Oil Custom duty: Rs 1.4
    Petrol Custom: Rs 1.96
    Transportation Charge: Rs 7.64
    Total price: Rs 75

    Petrol Price Game:
    1 barrel = 159 liters
    1 barrel = USD 108
    1 barrel refing cost 15 % = 108 %15 = USD 16
    1 barrel = USD 108+16=124*57= RS.7068/- INR
    ... 1LITER = 7068/159= 44.45 RS ...

    TODAYS RATE = 80-44.45 =33.55 ( THINK WHERE IT GOES... ITS A BIGG SCANDLE)
    SHARE THIS.....

    Based on the above calculation the price of crude is only around 36-40% of the total price thhat we pay at the pumps. 

    so government is making us fool by saying that Petrol Companies are in loss.In the year 2008-9 Hindustan petroleum company had a net profit of Rs: 574.5 crores, similarly in 2009-10 Indian oil had a profit of Rs: 5556.77 crores and Bharat petroleum had a profit of Rs; 5015.5 crores. If these companies had incurred a loss, then where from, they got this profit??

    So How Petrol Prices Can Be Reduced 
    Recently Goa Government reduce the petrol prices by 11 rs.So How it is possible.The way Goa has managed this Rs. 11 reduction is by abolishing (almost) the VAT on petrol which used to be 20%. This is now only 0.1% and it has not been brought down to zero so as to maintain sales records.
    So Now We Are having a solution If state government follows Goa's example of doing away with sales tax and VAT on petrol, the fuel will become cheaper by roughly Rs 15 a litre . The reduction will be higher in states that tax the fuel at a higher rate. 

    So friends Must Share it so that even government feel shame on their action 




  • Disbelief, horror, tears, smiles --- Aamir Khan evoked all this among his rapt audience as he dealt with the sensitive topic of female foeticide and bias toward the male child in the first episode of "Satyamev Jayate" Sunday - without being preachy. 

    There were many moist eyes among those in the TV audience and many more at homes and offices across India as people tuned in to watch the much-awaited programme, which Aamir Khan said in his ads he wanted to replicate the phenomena created by the epic "Mahabharat" and "Ramayana" teleserials of yore on Sunday mornings. 

    Equipped with well-researched instances and case studies, Aamir's one-and-a-half hour programme was telecast on Star Plus and Doordarshan simultaneously. 

    The maiden episode highlighted how unethical medical practitioners are hand in glove with families wanting to kill the female unborn baby. 

    He also dispelled the perception among people that female foeticide is practised by rural people or those living in small towns with Mitu Khurana's case. She is a doctor who has left home to save her twin daughters from death from her educated in-law's family. 

    The episode started with the case of Amisha Yagnik from Ahmedabad who said she was forced to abort her female unborn child six times in eight years, while Parveen Khan, from Morena, Madhya Pradesh, was brutally bitten by her husband on her face for having given birth to a girl child against his wishes. 

    Delhi-based doctor Mitu Khurana was asked by her orthopaedic surgeon husband and in-laws to abort her girl twins just after 20 weeks of conceiving.

    She said her husband and in-laws "took every wrong step to force me to abort" but thanks to her family (father)"I saved my kids", Mitu said on the show. 

    Her mother-in-law, a retired vice-principal from a Rohtak school, kicked a baby basket with one of the babies down the stairs. Miraculously, the child was saved. 

    "My mother-in-law was so much against my kids that she tried to kill them even after their birth," she said on the show. 

    The story of the three women brought tears to host Aamir's eyes as well as that of many in the audience. 

    According to 2011 Census, the rate at which the unborn female child is killed amounts to killing off 10,00,000 girls a year. 

    According to the 2011 census, there were 914 girls for every 1,000 boys. 

    Aamir brought into focus the dangers of female foeticide by showing a village in Khurukshetra in Haryana where marriagable men have not been able to find women to marry as there were no women in that age bracket left. 

    In the first episode of "Satyamev Jayate", he highlighted another danger of female foeticide - human trafficking. Virendra Vidrohi, a social activist from Alwar Rajasthan, said thousands of women from poor families in eastern states are being "sold" in some places in Rajasthan due to a dearth of women. 

    "In the last one year 15,000 women from Bihar, Orissa and Andhra Pradesh have been brought and sold here to families. This has led to human trafficking in Rajasthan," he added. 

    Aamir also forcefully stated to the audience that the sex of the unborn child depended on the chromosome of the father. 

    "If we worship goddess Durga, why kill unborn girls," he said. 

    Aamir Khan also brought on the show two journalists who carried out a sting operation against doctors involved in sex determination in Rajasthan and how the case is still dragging in various courts in Rajasthan. 

    He kept people glued to the show and promised to tell them of a "magic wand" to get rid of the evil practice of female foeticide at the end of the show. Pointing at the audience, he said it is time to take a stand and all should get involved - and now.
