And so the prima dona of NDTV, Ms Barkha Dutt, has been"honored" with the padma award. In an interview soon after the announcement, Ms Dutt grandly remarked: One feels great to be honored bu the Indian State. Young lady it in not an honor form the Indian State but from the minority UPA regime whose ideological interests are being served by NDTV and the like. And let me explain. In all major issues, the channel NDTV has taken the UPA side of the controversy, whether it be the nuclear deal with the USA or the Gujarat Elections or for that matter any other major problem that the country debated. Further, just last week NDTV annouced a series of awards and all of them went to Cngress or Congress friendly individuals. Who has forgotten the fact that last year the Indian of the Year award went to the resident non Indian, Soniaji and now it is pay back time and UPA gives the award to the likes of Barkha Dutt. If Burkha Dutt can be so honored, let me give my nominees for the highest awards of the UPA regime, the Jungle Ratna, sorry the Bharat Ratna, hereafter shortened to BR.
BRfor promoting Dynastic fascism: Soniaji and Karunanidhiji
Br for animal welfare: Lalloo Prasad Yadavji
BR for exemplary serice to the Indian Police Service: Shri R K Sharma, BR for Youth Leadership; Manu Sharmaji, Rahul Gandhi ji and Vikas Yadavji
BRfor the Best Parliamentarian; Hon'ble D P Yadavji, Md Ansariji and Raju Bhaiyya
BR for Children Welfare: Shri Mohinder Singh Pandher
BR for Public Service of the Highest Order: Sundry Secular Terrorists like Afzal Guru
BR for Preservation of Indian Heritage Hon'ble T R Baalu
This list can be expanded. But I think my nominees are all as worthy of the Padma Awards of the UPA as Burkha Dutt. I have nothing against INFOSYS Narayana Murthy, but giving the Padma Vibuhahn to a man who refused to sign the National Anthem because that would embarass his white guests is an insult to the nation, and that is precisely the point I am making: anyone who damns India day in and day out will be honored by the UPA because it is pro US and Pro White in its basic attitude.I think the time has come for introspection on the issue of public honors. Organisations with an incestuous relationship with the regime in power are being honored and those like Atal Behari Vajpayee with decades of dedicated service to the Indian State ignored.
