A new Diploma training course has started in India on bride and train burning.Its a short course of five weeks.Any one can join the course but he or she have to enroll in a political party of his choice.
This is the letter to editor published on 20th April.Unfortunately there is no public reaction through news papers.
Read this;
FLAMES OF FURY:
The burning of railway coach at Delang
railway station (OP front page,18th) is reflection of our culture in
the name of God. The Jaganath culture from time immemorial preaches the word of
love and peaceful coexistence among the human community. The character of
culture is generosity and endurance and coordination. No culture or religion in
whatsoever manner would tolerate the way the people of Odisha are indulging in,
like burning of brides, sacrificing children, electrocuting elephants and
burning of public property. One of the major salient feature of culture of Lord Jaganath
is tolerance which is an outstanding human value propagated by culture of Lord Jaganath
which postulates with every way of life as its contribution in its specific way
to the human welfare. With the Nabakalebara festival coming up fast, the
culture of Odiyas are turning to Flames and Fury, sorry to watch these criminal
activities of people of Delang very near to the temple of Lord Jaganath. Hope
the criminals are not allowed to spread fire and terror amongst the pilgrims
who are contemplating coming to watch the car festival of Puri.

GEETIKA
This is an excellent book on diet and its impact on health through poetry.Unfortunately like other countries we do not agree(Politicians) that Hindi is our National language.Millions watch Hindi films the same number watch cricket with Hindi commentary but if the PM says we should make Hindi a compulsory language in primary schools then one would find road blocks, train derailed and buses burnt.Sorry state of affairs.

WRONG IDEAS LEADS TO DESTRUCTIONS
Politicians and their advisers have very funny ideas like meals ( AAhar) for Rs:5 is the latest one.Its meant for poor people and destitute but watch here who are in the queue? Rice for Rs:1 per KG,Poor people sell it for Rs10 and that same rice is recycled and sold in the market by the business men who are politicians right hand for Rs:25/-. The slum dwellers steal electricity by hooking,water the same way by making a hole in the main pipe line. Young people are sitting ideal at home in villages and drinking alcohol and take to drugs and gutka.Poor state of affairs in different states.This is new method of vote bank politics.(Photographer--Uttam Pal)
