Driven by passion for culture
Manjula Kolanu | TNN
Having a love for ones own language and culture is one thing, but to establish an organisation that not only conducts literary and cultural programmes but even manages to work across continents in a record breaking manner is something else - that requires a rare passion and leadership ability - attributes that Anand Kuchibhotla has in plenty.
Anand Kuchibhotla’s passion for Telugu culture led him to establish Silicon Andhra (SA), an organisation to promote and perpetuate Telugu culture the Silicon Valley (Bay area) at Cupertino, California, USA in 2001. Ever since, it has remained a non-profit, non-political, non-religious cultural and community organisation that serves the Telugu community through cultural and charity work. Though set up to represent the aspirations of the US-based Telugus, it has since effectively united Telugus across the world, even in Andhra Pradesh. Kuchibhotla has a simple explanation for SA’s success: “I may be the founder chairman of Silicon Andhra, but our programmes appeal worldwide only because of the greatness of Telugu language. All Telugus love their culture, but that dormant love needs to be reawakened, either with a tap on the shoulder or a thump on the back.” Certainly the Machilipatnam-born Kuchibhotla has done more than tap into that love. Convinced that attire and language best signify culture, Kuchibhotla has laid down some ground rules for SA. In a marked departure from organisations which rely heavily on film-based programmes, SA events are rich in tradition, geared towards perpetuating Telugu culture (samskriti), literature (sahityam) and tradition (sampradayam). All its participants must be attired in traditional Indian clothes for the events. “At one SA programme, even the Mayor of Cupertino, an American lady, was made to wear a sari,” says Kuchibhotla. He has set a high benchmark for SA with its very first programme the uniquely Telugu literary feat of ‘Ashtavadhanam’.
Kuchibhotla evidently has big dreams. Not content with organising over 20 cultural and community evens till date, along with several charity programs within the community, SA went on to score a hat trick of Guinness World Records in less than 24 months. The first International Kuchipudi Dance Convention (2008) in Cupertino brought together 328 dancers spanning five generations of Kuchipudi dancers from various nations, setting a Guinness world record for the largest Kuchipudi dance performance. Then the Laksha Gala Sankeertanarchana event (2009) where 1.6 lakh people sang Annamacharya kirtans in Hyderabad, set a record for the largest group singing event. Again in May 2010, SA organised Akhanda Sahasra Sankeertanarchana where Annamacharya songs were rendered non-stop for 101 hours at Vijayawada, on the eve of the 602nd Annamayya Jayanti celebrations a record for non-stop singing. Silicon Andhra intends to better the previous Kuchipudi record with a convention in Hyderabad later this year.
Kuchibhotla has also started an online music platform, muzigle.com to showcase Indian music talent to the world. “There are lotsof talented musicians and singers in India who do not get a platform, and I hope to provide that online,” explains this former Yahoo manager, who also gives management tips to college students. Kuchibhotla currently shuttles between Hyderabad where the convention is being planned and Cupertino where his wife, son and daughter reside.

HMDA finds it tough to sell its land in city

Hyderabad, June 27: The Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA), which was an elite brand name in the national real estate sector until just a few years ago, is now struggling to sell even small plots in and around Hyderabad.
To boost sales and attract prospective buyers, the HMDA is now offering people who buy plots bank loans, that too, at a lower rate of interest than the prevailing rate of interest being offered by other banks.
The HMDA has tied up with HUDCO, which will provide loans at an eight per cent interest rate.
The loan can be obtained either for purchase of land or for the construction of a house on the land. As many as 229 plots of various sizes, ranging between 250 sq yards and 2,000 sq yards will be put up for auction through e-bidding on July 12. Plots are available at Asifnagar, Miyapur, Mushk Mahal near Attapur, Nallagandla, Nandagiri Hills, Ramachandrapuram and Tellapur; the last date for submission of tenders is July 9.
The finance advisor of the HMDA, Mr G.K. Rao, said that the rate of interest from HUDCO will be at eight per cent for the first three years and thereafter; it will be on a floating basis. This is on lower side as other banks like even the SBI are offering home loans at over eight per cent for only first one year, after which it is on a floating basis. “It’s like a double bonanza to the prospective buyers with lower interest rate on one side and a clear title of land on the other,” said Mr Rao.
He also said that even the offset prices have been brought down as per the market value. However, builders and those wanting to buy smaller plots disagree with the HMDA. They said that the offset price, which is Rs 10,000 per sq yard for a majority of the plots, is expensive.

HMDA draft plan envisages 50% land for greenery
HMDA draft plan envisages 50% land for greenery

HYDERABAD: Green activists will certainly plump for the new draft master plan. Nearly 50 per cent of land in the extended area of Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) can't be used for any development. In other words, it cannot be exploited for residential, industrial or entertainment purpose.
Catchment areas of Himayatsagar and Osmansagar lakes, and parcels of land in defence localities will also fall under this conservative zone.
Of 4848.40 square kilometres open area, 2314.05 sq kilometres can't be developed as it has water bodies, defence land and mangroves. No construction will be permitted within a buffer of 30 metres surrounding the water bodies as per the government orders. A GO, no 111, was issued in this regard by the municipal administration and urban development (MA&UD) department 10 years ago banning development in the bio-conservation zone, especially in catchment areas of both Himayatsagar and Osmansagar lakes. Similar is the case with defence zone for security reasons. Over 100 villages will fall under this restricted zone.
Another 12 per cent area is underdeveloped. The rest 40 per cent of the vacant land can be used for development. The HMDA has prepared a draft master plan for an extended area of total 4,920 square kms.
The state government had merged some areas in surrounding four districts--Ranga Reddy, Mahbubnagar, Medak and Nalgonda-- into the erstwhile Hyderabad Urban Development Authority (Huda) to form Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority in 2008. For example, while Chevella, Shabad and Kandukur mandals of R R district were brought under HMDA, a part of Shankerpally, Shamshabad, Maheshwaram, Ibrahimpatnam, Medchal and Shamirpet mandals were merged in the HMDA.
Of the total available open land for contiguous development, which is 834 sq kms, 42 per cent of land has been earmarked for residential usage, five per cent for commercial, 11 per cent for manufacturing, 13 per cent for public-semi public, 12 per cent for open space zone/recreation and 16 per cent for transport and communication.
Giving top priority to transport, the officials have proposed a 45-metre width peripheral ring road in the extended areas to connect the contiguous urban pockets. As national highways pass through the extended HMDA, proposals have been made to have bus rapid transport system.
With railways asking for land, several locations have been identified for new passenger terminals, including Shamshabad, Medchal, near Hi-Tec City railway station and Moula Ali station. Each of these terminals would have around 300 acres of land.
In addition, the land has also been earmarked for cargo terminals at Timmapur between Nadergul and Vikarabad, and between Bibinagar and Bhongir.

Bus Rapid Transit System in doldrums
Bus Rapid Transit System in doldrums
TNN, Jul 23, 2010, 11.43pm IST
HYDERABAD: The much-hyped Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) from Rethibowli to JNTU Kukatpally is in doldrums with the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) unable to raise funds for the proposed project. As a result, the corporation has put formation of the special purpose vehicle (SPV) for BRTS on hold.
The 18-km stretch, one of the busiest routes in the city, from Rethibowli-Hi-Tec City-JNTU at Kukatpally was chosen for BRTS as there is scope for widening and development of the road.
The Unified Metropolitan Traffic Authority (UMTA) had last year decided to tap about Rs 180 crore under Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) to take up BRTS. However, the Union government kept the project pending as Andhra Pradesh had utilised Rs 2,475 crore more than the allocated funds. Another 38 projects, worth about Rs 3,392 crore, are still pending with the government.
With no signs of fresh sanctions to the state, the UMTA and GHMC are planning to take a soft loan from Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) has already taken loan for the Outer Ring Road (ORR) phase II and the Hussainsagar cleaning programme.
The state government is under pressure to take up the project as it assured the Bhure Lal Committee on Action Plan for Improvement of Air Quality in Hyderabad. The GHMC assured the committee at the recently held meeting that SPV for BRTS would be formed as soon as possible.
"The proposals for formation of SPV are being prepared and sent to the state government for approval. The GHMC commissioner will be chairman of the SPV and one of the executive directors of APSRTC will act as managing director of the proposed SPV," a senior GHMC official told TOI.
Officials see no purpose in forming an SPV unless the state government gets funds for BRTS. BRTS for the city was proposed three years ago. Feasibility studies were conducted on major routes like Uppal-Mehdipatnam, Uppal-Aramghar and other areas. Finally, it was decided to have BRTS on Rethibowli-Kukatpally stretch.
Last year, Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) had completed a feasibility study and submitted a report, including environmental and social assessment study and preliminary designs.
It was decided that while GHMC would provide infrastructure facilities for BRTS like road widening, APSRTC would provide buses and operate them on the this route.

Auto driver molests UKG student
Auto driver molests UKG student
July 24th, 2010
DC Correspondent
Hyderabad, July 23: Police on Friday arrested a 22-year-old autorickshaw driver for molesting a five-year-old schoolgirl giving another jolt to parents shocked by the revelations about the Parkwood International School director sexually abusing girl students.
Police said the driver, M. Anwar, of Khadri Chaman, used to fondle the private parts of the UKG student while dropping her home from school. The girl, who stays in Bibi Ka Chasma, is the daughter of a salesman in a cloth store located in Falaknuma and studies in a private school.
Her parents on July 9 hired an autorickshaw to take her to school and back. In the last two days, the girl refused to go to school in the autorickshaw and complained of severe pain in her private parts.
On Thursday her father took her to a private clinic where the doctor noticed rashes on her private parts and informed him about it.
“When he asked the girl about it she said that the Anwar used to fondle her,” said the Falaknuma police inspector, Mr S. Mohan Reddy. “As her residence was the last stop Anwar took advantage and abused her.”
Police arrested the driver and registered a case of rape against him. Investigation is on.
“The police should take an initiative to monitor the conduct of the autorickshaw drivers,” said Mr B. Srinivas, resident of Malkajgiri. “Proper training should be given to the drivers and every six months they should go to police and get a clearance certificate.”
Mr Srinivas added that parents should also verify the antecedents of autorickshaw drivers before hiring them. “The school management should maintain data of the auto drivers,” he said.
A senior police officer said that more than 68,500 autorickshaws plying on the road and there was no monitoring of drivers. “The autorickshaw owners keep changing the drivers from time to time and more than half of the drivers do not have licenses,” he said.
He added that the driver should carry a board with his photo, licence, address and a phone number so that the passengers can make a note of it if needed.
“Many schools don’t have transport facility and parents are forced to arrange private vehicles for their children,” said Mohammad Mastan, a private employee from Saidabad. “Stern action should be taken by the police against the accused in such cases.”
Meanwhile, the Andhra Pradesh Autorickshaw Drivers Samakhya general secretary, Mr A Sathi Reddy, condemned the “heinous” crime and said stringent action will be taken against any kind of offenders as the union guidelines specify that service to humanity is service to God.

Gagan down, but not out
Gagan down, but not out
.
He had an low-key tournament, finishing sixth in the men’s Air Rifle shooting event at the Belgrade World Cup in Serbia recently but ace shooter Gagan Narang wants to shrug it off as he gears up for the 10-day-long World Championships that commence in Munich from July 31.
But that will not be easy. The World No.2 in the 10m Air Rifle category faced some issues with the customs during the import of a spare .177 rifle as his rifle had broken. “Gagan was definitely disturbed because of all the developments taking place back home while he was trying to give his best shot at Belgrade,” informs his father B.S. Narang in a chat with this newspaper.
By his own admission, Gagan said that these issues do prove to be a hindrance during or before a big event such as the World Championships. “The Worlds is a premier event and any athlete taking part in it needs to be in his/her best shape or else he/she may not be able to perform to the potential,” says Gagan.
Gagan points out that the customs officials wanted to see the import licence for the .177 rifle when the government ruling states that .177 rifles can be imported for free. Gagan’s father mentions that his son may have been troubled by the incidents at home. “Shooting is a mental sport and any issue can take away your concentration on that particular day and you may lose focus,” he says. Gagan shot 101.1 in the final, for a total of 698.1, placing the ace shooter 2.3 points away from bagging a bronze at the event.
But, if you thought these issues will hinder his concentration at the upcoming event at Munich, then you are mistaken. “Gagan will need to pull his socks up and I am sure he will do a great job at Munich,” his father states.
On his part, Gagan sounds optimistic. “At the end of the day, I am expected to keep India’s flag flying high and I would definitely give my best at Munich. I was disturbed initially due to the issues back home but now I feel better and will hopefully come back with a medal,” Gagan says. Gagan left for Hanover in Germany for a training programme to prepare for the big event. Expect the Hyderabadi to gun for nothing less than the yellow metal in Munich

But that will not be easy. The World No.2 in the 10m Air Rifle category faced some issues with the customs during the import of a spare .177 rifle as his rifle had broken. “Gagan was definitely disturbed because of all the developments taking place back home while he was trying to give his best shot at Belgrade,” informs his father B.S. Narang in a chat with this newspaper.
By his own admission, Gagan said that these issues do prove to be a hindrance during or before a big event such as the World Championships. “The Worlds is a premier event and any athlete taking part in it needs to be in his/her best shape or else he/she may not be able to perform to the potential,” says Gagan.
Gagan points out that the customs officials wanted to see the import licence for the .177 rifle when the government ruling states that .177 rifles can be imported for free. Gagan’s father mentions that his son may have been troubled by the incidents at home. “Shooting is a mental sport and any issue can take away your concentration on that particular day and you may lose focus,” he says. Gagan shot 101.1 in the final, for a total of 698.1, placing the ace shooter 2.3 points away from bagging a bronze at the event.
But, if you thought these issues will hinder his concentration at the upcoming event at Munich, then you are mistaken. “Gagan will need to pull his socks up and I am sure he will do a great job at Munich,” his father states.
On his part, Gagan sounds optimistic. “At the end of the day, I am expected to keep India’s flag flying high and I would definitely give my best at Munich. I was disturbed initially due to the issues back home but now I feel better and will hopefully come back with a medal,” Gagan says. Gagan left for Hanover in Germany for a training programme to prepare for the big event. Expect the Hyderabadi to gun for nothing less than the yellow metal in Munich

NEW DELHI: Disgraced former BJP chief Bangaru Laxman, who was caught on camera accepting a bribe, has made a comeback in the party's new team as election in-charge of Tamil Nadu while Varun Gandhi has been appointed in the same capacity for Assam. Vasundhara Raje will take charge of Haryana and former party chief M Venkaiah Naidu has been given charge of the important states of Delhi and Maharashtra.
The much-awaited list of BJP in-charges of states and party cells was declared on Friday, seven months after Nitin Gadkari took over as party chief.
While Ananth Kumar, who was appointed general secretary in-charge of Bihar earlier, has been given additional charge of Madhya Pradesh, Gadkari has not appointed any election in-charge for Uttar Pradesh which goes to polls in 2012. Being a big state, UP has got Narendra Singh Tomar as its in-charge and will have Karun Shukla and Radha Mohan Singh to assist him.
Laxman, who was in oblivion since he was caught on camera accepting cash in a sting operation, was given charge of Tamil Nadu to send across a message that BJP is wooing dalit voters as part of Gadkari's strategy to increase BJP's vote share by 10%, party sources said.
Former Uttarakhand chief minister B C Khanduri has been made overall in-charge of Tamil Nadu.
Varun Gandhi's appointment as election in-charge of Assam, which goes to polls next year and where the party's stakes are high, indicates an elevation in terms of importance within the party.
Another ex-Uttarakhand CM Bhagat Singh Koshiyari will be election in-charge of Jharkhand where the party feels polls may be held any time due to political instability.
However, many were surprised at the appointment of party vice-president Vinay Katiyar as poll in-charge for West Bengal. Interestingly, the overall charge of the state has been given to Rajya Sabha member Chandan Mitra. Polls are due in the state next year.
Yashwant Sinha (Punjab), Shanta Kumar (Karnataka), Balbir Punj (Gujarat), Narendra Singh Tomar (UP), Jagat Prakash Nadda (Chhattisgarh), Kalraj Mishra (Himachal Pradesh), Thawarchand Gehlot (Uttarakhand), Kaptan Singh Solanki (Rajasthan), Vijay Goel (Assam), Santosh Gangwar (Orissa) and Purushottam Rupala (Andhra Pradesh) are the other state in-charges.
Najma Heptullah has been given charge of Daman & Diu, and Dadra & Nagar Haveli while Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi will continue as in-charge of the party's All India Programmes and Tours.
Party treasurer Piyush Goel will be in-charge of `Friends of BJP'.
Actor-turned politician Hema Malini will head the cultural cell, Sukhada Pandey has given the education cell and Anil Dave will head the election research and analysis cell. Prakash Javadekar will be in-charge of the economic affairs cell and Satpal Jain of the legal cell.
BJP also named in-charges for its fronts. Karuna Shukla (women's wing), Dharmendra Pradhan (youth wing), Thawarchand Gehlot (SC cell), Narendra Singh Tomar (ST cell), Satpal Malik (Kisan cell) and J K Jain (Minority Morcha) were named in these positions.

Inventor of ‘Raksha Kavach’ upset with Railways
Inventor of ‘Raksha Kavach’ upset with Railways
K S Narayanan Express News ServiceFirst Published : 22 Jul 2010 02:52:32 AM ISTLast Updated : 22 Jul 2010 09:44:17 AM IST
NEW DELHI: Rajaram Bojji, former managing director of Konkan Railway Corporation, who developed the anti-collision device (ACD) which might have saved 60 lives in Monday’s train crash involving Uttarbanga Express and Vananchal Express, is a bitter man today.
Bojji, in an e-mail response to a mail sent to him by Express, said his years of hard work has come to naught. “They are very wise and having given away my rights, they own the ACD and have a right to kill it along with commuters who buy tickets to travel in their trains.”
Bojji, who has established Atrilab, a research and development company in the US and Hyderabad, said, “It is very depressing and hopeless to have worked in India hoping to improve.”
And his advice to himself after having moved on: “Years of hard work proved to no avail. Learn the lesson young man. Live your life well.”
Bojji, an IIT alumnus, holds several patents in India and abroad for his inventions, which cover railway technologies, world’s first Intelligent anti-collision devices network ‘Raksha Kavach’ (already under implementation over 2500 km of route on Indian Railways), sky bus metro (concept first presented in Bologna University Italy, by him in 1989) - in all, 17 patents have been assigned by him to the Government, through Konkan Railway Corporation.
The ACD uses both radio frequency and Global Positioning System (GPS) through satellites, whereby a train is automatically brought to a halt if the track ahead is not clear. The train starts braking 3 km ahead of a blockade.
The reasons are not difficult to guess as to why Bojji is sad at the immense loss of life but also bitter at Railway bureaucracy, which has stalled the implementation of the device.
In the January 2006, the Railways announced that the anti-collision device, already installed on all Konkan Railway routes and many Northeast Frontier Railway routes, was to be extended to the entire broad gauge rail network in the country by 2013.
Again, this has found a mention in the Railway Budget presented by Mamata Banerjee and in the White Paper issued by Railway Ministry in December 2009.

How a Cong trade union leader became BJP chief
How a Cong trade union leader became BJP chief
NEW DELHI: How did an INTUC leader become BJP president? Or did the BJP leader carry out a stealthy acquisition. Several years ago, Nitin Gadkari, as an influential local leader, won a convincing victory at the Nagpur branch of the Congress-affiliated trade union.
The event did raise some comment, Gadkari's coup being acknowledged as pretty smart footwork. But now, after the leader took charge of a troubled BJP from Rajnath Singh some months ago, it is downright embarrassing for Congress to have Gadkari presiding over INTUC affairs in the orange city.
At an informal exchange at the TOI office on Wednesday, Gadkari revealed that he had been worried by BJP's falling support in various parts of eastern Maharashtra, Nagpur included. He floated a workers' initiative and began to approach workers who had opted for voluntary retirement schemes but were finding it hard to get their dues.
The BJP chief said he discovered that local trade union leaders were taking cuts from payments made to workers, many of whom were employed in textiles. He approached the then textiles minister in the NDA government, Kashiram Rana, and persuaded him that payments ought to be made directly to accounts of workers who had accepted VRS. This way they would evade the avaricious designs of TU bosses.
"I think I earned the goodwill of a lot of workers who were not well-off and were from different communities, including the minorities. They were relieved that they did not have to succumb to the demands. The amount involved was not small, it was Rs 8 crore," said Gadkari.
Emboldened to stand for the next INTUC election, Gadkari was supported by 22 of 33 members of the executive and soon found himself at the TU's office at Vaidyanath Chowk. It was quite an experience as he spied portraits of Congress greats Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi on the walls instead of the more familiar pictures of Deen Dayal Upadhyaya and Shyama Prasad Mookerjee that grace BJP offices.
On to a good thing, Gadkari hasn't let go since, maintaining his grip on the INTUC post. It, perhaps, did not matter as long as he operated out of Nagpur. But after RSS backed him and he transited to the big stage, having an INTUC man as BJP president may not suit Congress very much even though the Nagpur unit may not be complaining. Neither is Gadkari.

Rural Electrification Corporation to raise $1 bn via ECB this fiscal
Neeraj Thakur Thursday, July 22, 2010 2:54 IST
New Delhi: Rural Electrification Corporation (REC), the state-owned power sector lender, is planning to raise $1 billion (about Rs 4,718 crore) through external commercial borrowings (ECB) in the current financial year.
The company expects to raise $400 million (Rs1,887 crore) by the second week of August.
The fundraising target through ECB route has gone up from the previous $400 million as the company is looking to finance some solar and wind power projects.
Till date, the company has financed only one solar power project in Gujarat.
“We are looking to raise the first tranche of money by the second week of August. The mandate for fundraising has been given to Tokyo-Mitsubishi and SBI,” JM Pathak, chairman & managing director, REC, said.
The company expects to raise the five-year loan at 6-month Libor plus 175 basis points.
“We are targeting some of the big-ticket power projects being set up by the private players. Companies like Lanco, Reliance and Nagarjuna could be our customers as they are coming up with some big power projects,” Pathak said.
The company is also planning to raise about Rs3,000 crore through infra bonds. The bonds would be issued in two tranches of about Rs1,500 crore each in October and February.
The company reported a 24% increase in its net profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 at Rs587 crore as against Rs471 crore for the corresponding period last year.

Sir / Madam,
As you may be aware, the export and import of currency notes of Government of India and Reserve Bank of India notes (other than notes of denominations of above Rs.100 in either case) is not allowed to and from Nepal and Bhutan in terms of Notification No. FEMA 6 / RB-2000 dated 3.5.2000 issued under Foreign Exchange Management (Export and Import of Currency) Regulations, 2000 by the Reserve Bank of India. Similarly, the Indian currency notes in the denomination of Rs.1000 and Rs.500 are not permissible for exchange for banking transaction in Nepal in terms of guidelines issued by Ministry of Finance, Government of Nepal and Nepal Rashtra Bank. In fact, the current legal provisions in Nepal provide that notes of these denominations are liable for seizure and the persons carrying them are to be fined or imprisoned for upto three years.
2. Instances have come to the notice of the Board that many Indian nationals travelling to Nepal by Air or by land routes and carrying Indian currency notes of Rs.500 and Rs.1000 denomination primarily due to ignorance of the law, are not only violating the RBI regulations issued in this regard but also get entangled in legal proceedings for possession of these notes in Nepal, like criminal prosecution along with confiscation of such currency notes.
3. The matter has been examined in the Board. In order to check such illegal import / export of currency notes of denomination of above Rs.100 and to prevent harassment and avoidable legal issues, it is felt necessary to educate / sensitize the people travelling between Nepal and India through Air or land routes regarding aforementioned legal provisions. Accordingly, since the import and export of Indian currency notes of denomination of above Rs.100/- (in either case) is prohibited as per Indian law and the use of Indian currency notes of denomination of Rs.500 and Rs.1000 is also prohibited in Nepal, Board hereby desires that at prominent places at the Airports and Land Customs Stations in India from where the passengers depart, to put up a display / notice board mentioning that “Import / export of Indian currency notes of the denomination of above Rs.100 from / to Nepal is prohibited and would attract penal provisions. The use of such currency notes of the denomination of Rs.1000 and Rs.500 is also prohibited in Nepal. Therefore, these notes are liable to be seized and the persons carrying them are liable to be fined or imprisoned for upto three years in Nepal.”

Seperate Exams for Hindus and Muslims in Malaysia?
Namaskar All,
There are basically two set of exams for Hindus(Indians and Others, basically who form 38% of the population), ie 10% reservation for 38% of the population {this Indian formatted brain does not understand the logic :-( } and 90% for Muslims(Malays or Bhumiputras) in Malaysia! Read on...
HINDRAF CALLS FOR ABOLISHMENT/REPEAL OF THE RACE BASED STPM EXAMINATION
Thu, 10/06/2010 - 06:20 | admin
Media Statement 9th June 2010 .
HINDRAF CALLS FOR ABOLISHMENT/REPEAL OF THE RACE BASED STPM EXAMINATION
HINDRAF calls upon Prime Minister Najib to fully implement his 1 Malaysia concept by scrapping the STPM exams and let all students irrespective of race and religion sit for the matriculation examinations. We want the UMNO led government to put an immediate stop to this racially segregated examination system and scrap the STPM examination altogether.
There should only be one standard examination system for all. This will be the first step to eliminating racial segregation in the education system. Article 12 (1) There shall be no discrimination against any citizen on the grounds only of religion, race, descent or place of birth - in the administration of any educational institution maintained by a public authority, and, in particular, the admission of pupils or students or the payment of fees; In line with Article 8 of the Federal constitution we call upon the UMNO led Government to respect the Federal constitution and implement a one-examination system for all students. One Malaysia should mean One examination for all. 1 Malaysia =1 Pre-University Exam.
We demand the government to stop this racial based examination and scrap STPM which is intended solely for the non Malays where the Government would be able to racially profile the non Malay muslim students and "slaughter" them permanently in their hopes of getting into the local universities. UMNO led government is committing double jeopardy for the nation in this instance as intelligent and capable human capital is depleted by producing below par students through its race based matriculation and stunting those intelligent and highly calibre students through STPM.
HINDRAF questions the need for two Examinations. This is the ingenious way by which racial discrimination can be applied against the minorities of the country. Entrance to Universities is based on the end results of these two exams. There is a significant difference in the scope and depth of syllabi between the two Examinations. The scope and rigour is much less for the Matriculation program than for the two-year sixth form exam. The Matriculation program is thus rendered much easier than the sixth form program leading to the STPM. The net result is that the Matriculation program provides an easier path for the Bumiputera students to the more desirable University programs in the public Universities. This is an institutionalised and ingenious way to deny the minorities equal opportunities to affordable education in courses of their choice.
Affluent and economically able families recognizing this blatant discrimination opt to put their children through ‘A’ levels for under-graduate education abroad or in private universities locally, whereas the brilliant students of the poor, working class and middle class families are left to undergo this racially segregated STPM exam which kills off any dreams of their being significantly contributing professionals in Malaysia. Many of them end up taking up simple courses or become dropouts.
From past statistics, it is acknowledged that excellent students who score 10A’s -13 A's in their SPM examinations do not fare well in the STPM exam because of the scope and depth of the body of knowledge. These students are particularly targeted in this racially segregated examination with standards deliberately set much higher than the Matriculation semester based exams and most of them are from the disadvantage sections of our society.
Hindraf is an organisation which champions for the poor underclass and voiceless community and we will continue to do so until the UMNO led government practices fairness to all irrespective of race, religion or color in line with the Federal constitution.
Thank you.

We want the UMNO led government to put an immediate stop to this racially segregated examination system and scrap the STPM examination altogether.
There should only be one standard examination system for all. This will be the first step to eliminating racial segregation in the education system. Article 12 (1) There shall be no discrimination against any citizen on the grounds only of religion, race, descent or place of birth - in the administration of any educational institution maintained by a public authority, and, in particular, the admission of pupils or students or the payment of fees; In line with Article 8 of the Federal constitution we call upon the UMNO led Government to respect the Federal constitution and implement a one-examination system for all students. One Malaysia should mean One examination for all. 1 Malaysia =1 Pre-University Exam.
We demand the government to stop this racial based examination and scrap STPM which is intended solely for the non Malays where the Government would be able to racially profile the non Malay muslim students and "slaughter" them permanently in their hopes of getting into the local universities. UMNO led government is committing double jeopardy for the nation in this instance as intelligent and capable human capital is depleted by producing below par students through its race based matriculation and stunting those intelligent and highly calibre students through STPM.
HINDRAF questions the need for two Examinations. This is the ingenious way by which racial discrimination can be applied against the minorities of the country. Entrance to Universities is based on the end results of these two exams. There is a significant difference in the scope and depth of syllabi between the two Examinations. The scope and rigour is much less for the Matriculation program than for the two-year sixth form exam. The Matriculation program is thus rendered much easier than the sixth form program leading to the STPM. The net result is that the Matriculation program provides an easier path for the Bumiputera students to the more desirable University programs in the public Universities. This is an institutionalised and ingenious way to deny the minorities equal opportunities to affordable education in courses of their choice.
Affluent and economically able families recognizing this blatant discrimination opt to put their children through ‘A’ levels for under-graduate education abroad or in private universities locally, whereas the brilliant students of the poor, working class and middle class families are left to undergo this racially segregated STPM exam which kills off any dreams of their being significantly contributing professionals in Malaysia. Many of them end up taking up simple courses or become dropouts.
From past statistics, it is acknowledged that excellent students who score 10A’s -13 A's in their SPM examinations do not fare well in the STPM exam because of the scope and depth of the body of knowledge. These students are particularly targeted in this racially segregated examination with standards deliberately set much higher than the Matriculation semester based exams and most of them are from the disadvantage sections of our society.
Hindraf is an organisation which champions for the poor underclass and voiceless community and we will continue to do so until the UMNO led government practices fairness to all irrespective of race, religion or color in line with the Federal constitution.
Thank you.

Say NO To YSR District! Save Kadapa today to save Lord Balaji and Nation tomorrow
Save Kadapa today to save Lord Balaji and Nation tomorrow
http://www.petitiononline.com/06242010/petition.html
To,
GoAP and GoI
Her Excellency President of India Smt. Pratibha Devisingh Patil
His Excellency Prime Minister of India Dr.Manmohan Singh
His Excellency Governor of Andhra Pradesh Sri Ekkadu Srinivasan Lakshmi Narasimhan
Hon'ble The Chief Justice Of India Mr. Justice S.H. Kapadia
Hon'ble The Chief Justice Of Andhra Pradesh High Court Nisar Ahmad Kakru
Hon'ble Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh Sri Konijeti Rosaiah
MHA Shri Home Minister P.Chidambaram

Dr. J.Geeta Reddy, GOAP Minister for I and PR, Cinematography, FDC and Tourism
Shri S.V. Prasad, Chief Secretary, GoAP
Stop Insulting and Hurting the Sentiments of Lord Balaji, devotees,Kadapa District and Tirumala-Tirupati. Desecrating a civilizational heritage contained in the divine and Celestial name of Kadapa. Re-naming Kadapa with YSR is sacrilegious.
kaḍapa. [Tel.] n. A threshold. A gateway. (Metaph.) a house. This is the entry on p. 234 of CP Brown's Telugu-English dictionary.
From BCE, Kadapa has been the recorded name from several sources which are available with TTD, district authorities and ASI. Devuni Kadapa or simply Kadapa is the starting point of Pilgrimage to the holy place of Sri Venkateswar/Lord Balaji of Yedukondalu (i.e. Seven Hills). Kadapa is a very sacred place for all the devotees of Lord Balaji/ Sri Venkateshwarluvaru. Kadapa is "Celestial Entrance to Lord Balaji's Abode"
Kadapa is home to the ancient temple at Vontimitta, which inspired Sri Pothana to compose ‘Andhra Maha Bhagavatham’. Historical records reveal that Jyothi village in Sidhout mandal has 108 Shiva lingas on the bank of Penna river within Kadapa district; it is considered the Dakshina Dwaram (southern gate) for the famous Srisailam Mallikarguna Temple (one of the twelve Dwadasa lingas) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kadapa_district )
The “Imperial Gazetteer of India” in the Digital South Asia Library has the complete details of the historical, cultural and religious significance of Kadapa (Vol. II, pages 57-60).( http://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/pager.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V11_063.gif)
Even the marauding barbarians of the middle ages did NOT meddle with the nation's heritage and pilgrimage site names. This cannot be taken to absurd lengths to relate to temporal political personalities for political expediency. The State has no constitutional authority to affect the fundamental rights of citizens to cherish their heritage. Kadapa's Heritage, historic and religious significance should not be altered to glorify a recent holder of a public office.
Kadapa- Celestial Grand Entrance to Lord Balaji, cannot be renamed with anyone or anything. Renaming of Kadapa as YSR District by GoI and GoAP is hurting the sentiments of Billions of Devotees. It is against the present law of the land. We strongly condemn the renaming.
Denigration of history is erasing the social memory of the community. Gadapa, Kadapa evokes the image of the threshold to Balaji. This memory has to be sustained as the nation's heritage.
Kadapa area had many great personalities - Annamacharya, Vemana, Pothuluri Veera Bramham and many more.
An important fundamental duty enshrined in the constitution Part IVA, section (f) of 51A is: To value and preserve the rich heritage of our composite culture;
This also becomes the duty of the state to value and preserve the rich heritage. National Monuments Authority, India , GoI, GoAP and TTD have to take appropriate steps.
We strongly protest the change in name of Kadapa District to YSR District.
Since historically this is a gateway to Tirumala Venkateswara, any change in name is clearly intended only to hurt the sentiments of the population's religious sentiments associated with Tirupati-Tirumala.
GoAP has to stop and refrain from abusing its authority and desecrating a civilizational heritage contained in the name Kadapa. We request all concerned to reconsider and restore the pride and sanctity of Seven Hills, Lord Balaji and the devotees.
On Tirumala-Tirupati! YSR's government released a GO saying Lord Venkateswara’s assets were only two hills covering an area of 27.5 sq. kms., and hence the other five hills would be taken over by the government and converted into a picnic spot with multiplexes, food courts, commercial, sports and entertainment infrastructure, including a rope-way to reach the top of the hills!
Mercifully, the AP High Court quashed the GO and the government beat a retreat after fierce Hindu agitations (Judgment of a Division Bench of the Andhra Pradesh High Court 1997 (2) ALD Page 59 (DB) – Tallapakam Koppu Raghavan Vs State of A.P).
Renaming a district considered the gateway to Tirumala and Srisailam after an ordinary mortal, that too, a politician-evangelist and destroy its sanctity as one of the holiest shrines of Hindu dharma has hurt the religious sentiments of the Hindu majority. Moreover, when we consider the life of YSR (a bloody past) before becoming Chief Minister, it is an absolute sacrilege to name the district after him. It is the worst possible way to denigrate the district and insult the people of the district.
Undeniably, YSR was an able politician; he worked hard and brought Congress back to power; he also brought in a lot of welfare schemes for the poor and downtrodden; and he was able to retain power because of such welfare schemes. Regaining power and retaining it is a big political achievement. But working for the welfare of the state is the moral responsibility and political duty of a Chief Minister. So what’s the big deal? It is equally true that his governance did not benefit all, and he never satisfied all sections of people. In fact, he earned the dislike of a major section of the Hindu majority.
We demand Kadapa District remain Kadapa District. We request The Government of -India and Government of Andhra Pradesh to reconsider keeping in view the historical -and religious importance of Kadapa and not to hurt the sentiment of Billions of -devotees, believers and followers of Lord Balaji/ Sri Venkateshwara and Lord Balaji -Himself.
Please review and take appropriate action in support of 'Lord Balaji of Seven Hills' , respecting billions of devotees, thousands of years of history, faith, traditions of 'Lord Balaji of Seven Hills' and Tirumala-Tirupati.
Will we rename Bharat if something happens to another leader at the National level?
We demand the withdrawal of the Ordinance of Renaming Kadapa District as YSR District by GoAP immediately.
