The delhi MMS,the SC(supreme court)verdict that followed and the kharagpur guy who was convicted,created waves last year on the authenticity of cam phones.This blog features an MMS in delhi and SC from bengal who is in delhi.MMS is manmohan singh and SC is the lok sabha speaker somnath chatterjee.Both have been helpless during the past year's lok sabha sessions when the BJP raised a slew of insignificant issues in the LS displacing the "people-oriented" schemes the UPA wanted to implement.SC tries to bring decorum but in vain.MMS remains a mute spectator.Tainted ministers,arrest of kanchi acharya,budget schemes,laloo yadav etc were some of the issues the BJP often raised.Sometimes they walk out voluntarily not getting a satisfactory response from MMS.Otherwise SC himself shows them the exit. [Moral--If empty vessels make noise put something into them to silence them.If they dont relent,dispose them]
One issue that was strangely not raised was the word "sind" in the national anthem.It was instead forwarded to the SC(supreme court) by the VHP.Their request is that sind must be deleted from the national anthem since it is now a pakistani territory.What if the word is deleted and another word substituted?Just imagine:
MMS substitutes the word "assama" to represent the NE states.They have not been represented in any form.TN,andhra,karnataka and kerala r jointly called "dravida".Maharashtra and MP--maratha,gujarat--gujarata etc.But the NE states have been upset over their exclusion ever since it was first sung.Now they are upbeat. MMS feels that it would be inappropriate to excluse delhi,the capital.But patna(pataliputra)was the former capital.Wanting no bias,he includes both. Now bal thackeray insists that though delhi is the capital mumbai was more significant and requests that it be included.The Left parties feel that kolkata be honoured since tagore belonged to kolkata.Dharam singh wants bangalore to be included since it was the IT capital and that IT is the upcoming industry.Jayalalitha wants chennai to be included so that the anthem would glorify the british rule.MMS accedes. Not wanting to be left out YSR{Y.S rajashekhara reddy,not yuvan shankar raja}wants hyderabad to be included.MMS expects a similar demand from the other states so includes all the capitals. Not wanting to leave out any territory he includes the word "dweepa" to signify andaman & nicobar and lakshadweep. Mulayam singh,the UP chief minister wants agra to be added.Karunanithi requests that madurai be added since the meenakshi temple was poised to be one of the new 7 wonders.Requests complied. MMS makes more changes in the anthem and includes a few rivers and mountains too.The final draft would look something like this:
"Jana gana mana adhinayaka jaya he,
...................................................
Punjaba assama gujarata maratha
delhi mumbai madras kolkata
bangalur hyderabad gandhinagara bhopala
....................................................
agra madurai kailas varanasi
....................................................
dravida utkala banga
vindhya himachala nilgiri darjeelinga
yamuna ganga dweepa coovuma adyara kaveri
...................................................
...................................................
Jaya he,......................................."
The tune?Well, it's left to A.R.Rahman. The aftermath??Narendra modi wants patna to be removed and Laloo wants gandhinagar to be removed.Vajpayee protests against laloo's demand stating that removal of gandhinagar would mean eliminating the glory of gandhi.PMK's ramdoss wants a tamil version of the song.He also requests that "madras" be changed to chennai. The BJP comes up with a new demand--elimination of hyderabad(there's a city in pakistan by the same name).To improve bilateral relations MMS thinks of adding pakistan since it was an indian territory long ago but decides against it.To convince him Musharaf plans a visit to india and comes by the muzafarabad bus.He succeeds in his mission and the word pakistan finds a place.Musharaf visits chennai and thinks of starting "Muzafarabad share-auto service". The aftermath??Advani demands deletion of the word "pakistan" in the LS when chidambaram is about to present the budget.MMS sits still and watches.Two bengalis r reduced to croppers--SC as he is helpless and Rabindranath tagore who plans to file a defamation case.
