अनूठी योजना
अमृत महल गायों के विकास की एक अनूठी योजना
अमृत महल, भारतीय नसल
अमृत महल, भारतीय नसल की गाय
* मैसूर के राजाओं ने इस योजना को आरंभ किया था ।
* १६१७ से १७०४ के मध्य वोडेयर वंश के चामराज वोडेयर, कंठीरव नरसराज वोडेयर, चिक्कदेवराज वोडेयर के शासनकालों में यह अपने चरमोत्कर्ष पर थी ।
* योजना को ‘बेण्णे चावडी’ गायों जिन्हें अब अमृत महल कहा जाता है, के लिये शुरू की गयी ।
* योजना के लिये राज्य में २४० मैदानों की ४,१३,५३९ एकड़ भूमि को सुरक्षित किया गया ।
* अज्जंपुर, बीरूरु, हब्बनघट्ट, बासूरु, लिंगदहळ्ळि और अर्सिकेरे इसके मुख्य केंद्र थे ।
* टीपू सुल्तान ने गायों का नाम बदल कर अमृत महल रखा और इसी नाम से भूमि सुरक्षित कर दी ।
* टीपू ने इन गायों की उत्कृष्टता को पहचान कर अपने सेना का भाग बनाया । आज भी इस नसल के बैलों का महत्व गायों से अधिक माना जाता है ।
मैसूर पैलेस
मैसूर पैलेस
* यह गायें कुत्तों से अधिक वफादार होती है और गरजती बंदूकों से भी भयभीत नहीं होतीं ।
* चूँकि इन गायों का युद्ध के लिये पालन किया जाता था, इन की दूध की उपज ११ से घटकर २-३ लीटर घट गई । शोधों से पता चलता है कि १० वर्षों में २-३ पीढ़ियों के दौरान इसे बढ़ाया जा सकेगा ।
* योजना में ६ चरागाह क्षेत्र थे । जब गायें एक क्षेत्र में चरना पूर्ण कर लेती तो उन्हें दूसरे क्षेत्र में भेज दिया जाता । गायों के लिये अलग चारे की व्यवस्था नही थी ।
* स्वतंत्रता प्राप्ति के समय कर्नाटक सरकार के पास चरागाहों की भूमि ५०,००० एकड़ थी ।
* आज २२,००० एकड़ भूमि और १५०० गायें ही बची हैं ।

Terminalia Arjuna
| Latin Name : Terminalia Arjuna, Pentaptera glabra, Pentaptera angustifolia Common Name : Terminalia Arjuna, White Murdah Ayurvedic Name : Arjuna Myrobalan, Arjun, Arjuna Family : Combretaceae | | |
| Remedies For: Cardiac stimulant, Rejuvenative, Astringent, Hemostatic. Terminalia Arjuna is the best herb for heart disease. It prevents and helps in the recovery of angina, heals heart tissue scars after surgery, Bile, Edema, Fractures, Contusions, Broken bones, Diarrhea, Malabsorption, Venereal disease and healing of tissues. Terminalia Arjuna can be used externally for ulcers, Acne, Skin disorders. The bark of the Terminalia Arjuna tree has a long history of use as a cardiac tonic as well, and has been indicated in the treatment of coronary artery disease, heart failure, hypercholesterolemia and for relief of Anginal pain. Additionally, It has been found to have antibacterial and Antimutagenic properties. Terminalia Arjuna has been used in traditional practice, in the support of cardiovascular health & blood circulation, for over three centuries, primarily as a cardiac tonic. Mechanisms of Action: Improvement of cardiac muscle function and subsequent improvment in pumping activity of the heart seems to be the primary benefit of Terminalia. It is thought, the saponin glycosides might be responsible for inotropic effects of Terminalia, while the flavonoids and OPCs provide free radical antioxidant activity and vascular strengthening. A dose-dependent decrease in heart rate and blood pressure was noted in dogs given with Terminalia intravenously. No toxicity has been documented. References: 1.Indian Journal Of Pharmacology,30(2): p118-119,1998 (Eng.) Coronary flow was measured on the isolated perfused rabbit heart after administration of different doses of the Terminalia arjuna extract ( 1 to 1024 micro gm ) at time 1,3 and 5min. The results show coronary flow was significantly enhanced with the higher doses of the extract. The results show antianginal activity of Terminalia Arjuna NSL. 2.Effect of Terminalia Arjuna on coronary flow, an experimental study. Bhatia J.; Bhattacharya, S. K.; Mahajan, P.; Dwivedi, S.

NGOs, ACTIVISTS & FOREIGN FUNDS - Anti- Nation Industry
NGOs, ACTIVISTS & FOREIGN FUNDS - Anti- Nation Industry
24/12/2007 11:35:07 PRADEEP KUMAR
The well-researched book is the result of two events; the national systemic bending-over-backwards to ‘render justice’ to the Muslim victims of the Gujarat riots and the denial of a visa to the Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi by the US State Department. The first was a process and the second an incident, and both the process and the incident were authored by the same group of prominent ‘peace’ and human rights NGOs and individual activists whose signature tune is ‘anti-Hindu’.
This book is not about the hundreds of NGOs working with great dedication among the socially and economically backward sections of our society motivated only by the inspiring vision of transforming social attitudes and the quality of life of the people amongst whom they live and work. But it is about those NGOs and activists whose ‘peace’ and human rights activism cloak deep political ambitions and objectives not restricted to participating or influencing electoral politics but aimed at shaping the character and direction of the Indian polity in a manner which derives from their warped notion of the Indian nation. Their political ambitions and activism are essentially undemocratic and anti-India nation.
Notwithstanding the fact that important democratic institutions including the NHRC, Parliament and the Judiciary have repeatedly shown a marked tilt towards minorityism and have rushed to do the bidding of the ‘peace’ and human rights activists profiled in this book, these persons have nevertheless shamed our judiciary, our men in uniform and our polity with their criticism of these pillars of our democracy on foreign soil and even before foreign governments. Parliament should consider suitable restrictions being placed on retired judges, retired armed force personnel including and above the rank of Brigadier, retired bureaucrats including and above the rank of Assistant Secretary and retired policemen including and above the rank of SP from undertaking projects for foreign or foreign-funded think-tanks and from deposing before foreign governments and their departments on any issue without prior permission from the Government of India.
The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court has been sitting for over five decades on the title suit of the Ramjanmabhumi while the Supreme Court promptly issues interim orders on cases filed by the Muslim community seeking to deny Hindu access to the site; those guilty of the genocide of Sikhs during the anti-Sikh riots of 1984, those guilty of the genocide of Kashmiri Hindus and those that render Kashmiri Hindus alive in the notorious Radhabai Chawl incident during the Mumbai riots of 1992, have all escaped the notice and attention of these very national institutions and the same ‘peace’ and human rights activists who continue to campaign for the Muslim victims of the Gujarat riots of 2002.
There is a growing perception among the Hindu intelligentsia that ‘peace’ and human rights NGOs and activists are holding all democratic institutions in the country hostage to international opinion about democracy and good governance to serve the cause of ‘secularism’ in a peculiarly on-sided fashion which may be interpreted to be anti-Hindu.
The well researched book exposes that India’s so-called secular polity is teetering perilously on the brink of minorityism aided and abetted in no mean measure by this well-networked group of Hindu-baiters who have succeeded in cleverly cloaking their congenital anti-Hindu bias in the garb of constitutional ‘protection of minority rights’ discourse. These NGOs and other politically motivated activists are embarked on the twin mission to weaken India’s political will to deal ruthlessly with Islamic, Christian and Naxal terrorism and to de-Hinduise the nation. A group of nationalist Indians – some of them residing abroad – came together to profile these ‘internationally acclaimed’ ‘peace’ and human right NGOs and activists with a view to exposing their anti-India and anti-Hindu activism.
The most striking feature of this book is that, in spite of the fact that the authors never discussed which NGOs to put under the scanner and which activists to expose when they began to write the book, they all zeroed in on the same groups! The book offers a veritable mine of information on these NGOs and activists – who are their supporters, partners and collaborators, what they say, what they write and their position on important national issues. What the compilers have presented, however, is only the tip of the iceberg. They have provided endnotes and appendices, which will enable the interested reader to dig deeper.
The book argues that contrary to doctored public opinion, these internationally- acclaimed NGO’s and activists are a threat to communal harmony and India’s democratic ethos. Communal harmony and democracy are naturally and best protected only when 85% of this nation’s population repose faith in the country’s democratic institutions.
The book exhorts the reader to raise his voice too as a political Hindu to render service to this great nation’s well being.
In this second and revised edition of the book a new chapter, exposing AID, has been added, as well as a number of new appendices that include Shri. Narendra Modi’s speech at a book release function. The book exposes Nirmala Deshpande, Arundathi Roy and Admiral Ramdas and their kind much better and the kind of industry of which they are a part. Arundhati Roy soon after Pokharan 2, said she is a mobile independent republic. Roy also said she is not a flag-waving patriot. But since Roy has a passport, it must have something to do with the Indian nation. So, the Indian nation is relevant at least to the extent that it allows these people to travel abroad to badmouth this country.
The clearly reveals the position of these so called NGO activists in regard to national territory, to opinions they express in regard to Jammu and Kashmir, the kind of nonsense they speak on American and Pakistani soil about our jawans, is a cause of grave concern, because they are members of either the National Integration Council or of CABE or of the National Advisor Council of the UPA government. And they are not above glorifying terrorism.
With facts the book argues that the so-called NGOs have no faith in our elected parliament, they have no faith in our judiciary, they have no faith in the NHRC. They go to the US State Department to depose before it, begging the US State Department to come to India and protect India’s democracy. It is high time legislation is put in place banning such people from deposing before alien governments against the Indian army and India’s democratic institutions. Very little is generally known about the kind of position these people take on American soil against the Indian nation, or their position on Jammu and Kashmir, or what they are to say about our army. We have or jawans dying day in and day out protecting our territory, protecting our right to live. Why is it that the media does not do an expose of these people, on what they have stated about Jammu and Kashmir, what they have stated about Naxal terrorism, what they have stated about India’s defence requirement, what they have stated about the Indian army? What is the opinion that they have about India’s democratic institutions? Every major issue concerning national security, every issue concerning national security, every issue concerning national interest, they reduce to the politics of minoritysm.
Arundhati Roy, for example, speaks for effect. She puts words cleverly together. And, mindless that we are, we are so fascinated by the English she speaks that we fail to subject the contents to critical scrutiny. In fact, she has run down everything that is sacred or reverent to large sections of India’s people. The book has documented, word for word, what they have said, and the kind of patrons they have found abroad. Why do the European Parliament and the US State Department support these activists? The compilation prompts us to look at these questions and gives us the need to have the courage to look at the answers. Releasing the book on September 9,2006, Shri. KPS Gill noted his surprise ‘that the anti-nationals in our country are respected, and nationalists are derided…….. These days our country is fighting terrorism. But our so-called intellectuals have made efforts unparalleled in the history of the world to decry and deny our success in fighting terrorism’.
Vigil has placed before the readers, world for word a true picture of the so –called NGOs. One must have the courage to look at the book dispassionately. The book exposes the illustrious people who find international patronage. This brilliantly analysed and thought-provoking book is a must for all those who love India.

Biggest demo in India for clean energy A thousand say NO to coal in Maharashtra
Biggest demo in India for clean energy
A thousand say NO to coal in Maharashtra
Over 1000 residents from villages in the Alibag taluka in Maharashtra gather to take part in a giant human art formation of a windmill, to voice their opposition to coal fired power plants planned in the region. The Maharashtra government is considering plans to approve 10,000 MW of new coal power plants by the Reliance, TATA, ISPAT and Patni groups. 60% of India’s power currently comes from coal, the major cause of climate change. India needs to shift away from a fossil fuel based energy pathway to greener sustainable energy options.
Over 1000 residents from villages in the Alibag taluka in Maharashtra gather to take part in a giant human art formation of a windmill, to voice their opposition to coal fired power plants planned in the region. The Maharashtra government is considering plans to approve 10,000 MW of new coal power plants by the Reliance, TATA, ISPAT and Patni groups. 60% of India’s power currently comes from coal, the major cause of climate change. India needs to shift away from a fossil fuel based energy pathway to greener sustainable energy options. They were demanding that the Maharashtra Government drop plans to build 10,000MW coal-fired thermal power plants in the region and explore renewable energy instead. The villagers said they were committed to fight the acquisition of their fertile land for coal-based power plants.
“We believe that the energy planned from these coal plants is dirty. It can come instead from clean alternatives like wind and solar energy, and by using energy more efficiently. We will not give up our land and our future to these mega power plants that will pollute our air, land, and water. We will not allow them to ruin our children’s future by adding to the problem of climate change,” said Dr Vishnu P. Mhatre of the Naugaon Sangharsh Samiti, one of the organisations fighting for clean energy here.
The community is opposing plans to set up thermal power plants over 8,500 acres of fertile land. The companies involved are the Tata Power Company Limited (1,200MW) and the Maharashtra Energy Generation Limited, a Reliance subsidiary, (4,000MW) at Shahpur in Alibag. The Patni group (500MW) and the Ispat group (2,000MW) want to set up their plants in the adjacent Medekhad Khadi.
For more than four years, the villagers have been resisting attempts by the government and the companies to acquire their land. “We do not oppose production of energy. But, we strongly demand that the Government of India change its energy pathway and move towards decentralised renewable energy, which will be used locally for agro-based industries and domestic needs,” said Satish Londhe, a resident of Alibag and state coordinator of the Shramik Mukti Dal.
To prove their solution-oriented approach, the citizens later joined in setting up a wind station. Admiral Ramdas, a Magsaysay awardee and a resident of Alibag, inaugurated the “Citizens’ Wind Monitoring Station” where the residents would record the area’s wind potential through an anemometer. This would show that the region has huge potential for wind energy, and challenge the government’s inaction in investing in alternate energies.
“Policymakers in the central and state governments need to explore the possibility of renewable resources like the wind, the sun, and other agents before rushing to coal for energy. In the current environment of global concern over climate change, we must also look critically at the operational efficiency of our power plants and increase energy efficiency in all sectors. This will ensure a dramatic reduction in our energy demand,” Ramdas asserted.
Maitree Dasgupta, Climate Campaigner with Greenpeace India, said: “This protest is a sign of popular opposition fomenting against coal in India, which will only grow. This not a fight against growth or development. It is just the opposite. It is a fight for building energy infrastructure for the future instead of relying on dinosaur technologies. India can get 35% of its power from renewable energy by 2030. We have the ability and technical capacity; we only need the political will.”
Greenpeace India is demanding that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh put in place a National Renewable Energy Bill no later than 2010, which would enable a shift towards a more sustainable energy pathway. This implies that the draft bill be made public this year for debate before placing it for parliamentary approval. It would also provide a framework for the Solar Mission and show that India is serious about the mission. More than 50,000 Indians have already signed Greenpeace India petitions demanding a response on this from Manmohan Singh.
