An assessment of enthusiasm
Self realization and thought meditation are correlated and both of them lead an individual to search the goal of his life. The route he chooses depends upon the decision he makes but the decision making process is not within the competence of an individual. There are so many guiding principles and role of inheritance is so crucial that the person who swept away with a desire to search the gospel of life ,may consider himself that he has lost his relevance in the process. An urge may lead to big surge .The innovation and the ideals play a vital role for the advancement. Some people are very optimistic and sometime they appear to become over-enthusiastic. The individuals use worship the rising sun and as such since an interaction with another individual having an innocent behavior, may always be regarded as one of the associates. Life is threefold present ;the present having an experience, past with a memory and past with a memory and a future with an expectation .Every expectation is not in anticipation nor is depended upon the circumstances. The harmonious construction is required to be given effect for analysing the truth amongst the 3 dimensional reflections. Thus the individuals who is associated with an optimistic personality always try to germinate confidence and simultaneously an introspection with retrospective effect. Throwing a stone up on the Moon may not be considered as an intelligent step but without throwing the stone in the upward direction, the heights attended by the trees in the Garden may not be crossed. It is only matter of appreciation and understanding by the individuals as to whether he may understand that the fellow is throwing the stone to cross the barrier or to some impossible distances. However even after being conversant that the person may suffer the innoclasm towards his objectives in life, but the said Individual’s approach becomes a guiding factor to other associate.The father of the individual enthusiastic personality may seldom be not able to cope up the requirement of adjustment in life with his son but certainly there is an implied appreciation which is not demonstrated but can be felt with his behavior. Thus the child who understand that it is on account of close affinity that the matter of appreciation become an unnecessary formality and this creates a misunderstanding.

ADMISSION IN SHAHJAHAN’S OWN BADSHAHNAMA- TAJ MAHAL HINDU TEMPLE
ADMISSION IN SHAHJAHAN’S OWN BADSHAHNAMA
A CLEAR, unequivocal and disarming admission that the Taj Mahal is a Hindu palace commandeered for use as a Muslim tomb is contained in Shahjahan’s own court chronicle written by a paid courtier named Mulla Hamid Lahori.
In Elliot and Dowson we are told, “Badshahnama of Abdul Hamid Lahori is a history of the first twenty years of the reign of Shahjahan…. Abdul Hamid himself says in his preface, that the Emperor desired to find an author who could write the memories of his reign in the style of Abdul Fazl’s I Akbarnama. He was recommended to the Emperor for the work, and was called from Patna, where he was living in retirement, to undertake the composition.” From this passage it is clear that Mulla Abdul Hamid Lahori wrote the Badshahnama (in Persian) as an official chronicle at Emperor Shahjahan’s own command. The Persian text in its original from is published by the Asiatic Society of Bengal. Reproduced elsewhere in this book are pages 403 and 403 of Vol. 1 of this Badshahnama.
There are 22 lines on page 402 and 19 on 403. We have numbered them serially so that those who cannot read the

2. Persian text of Mulla Abdul Hamid’s Badshahnama, in two volumes, published by the Asiatic Society of Bengal in the Bibliotheca Indian series. I obtained the Photostat from the copy in the National Archives, Government of India, in December 1965. Copies of that publication are available in all-important institutional libraries throughout the world, dealing with Indian Mediaeval history.
Persian script may follow the line-by-line transcript in the Roman script and later the line-by-line rendering in English.

“I reached (Akbarabad, i.e. Agra) on Thursday, 3rd of Moharam Mukram. On arrival I called on Badshahzada Jahanbani (i.e. the elder Prince Dara) in the garden of Jahanara. In that splendourous house surrounded by springing verdure I enjoyed their company and inquired about everybody’s well-being. I stayed in the garden of Mahabat Khan.
“Next day it being a Friday. I went to pay my homage to the sacred grave which had been laid in Your Majesty’s presence. Those (i.e. cenotaph, grave etc.) are in good shape, strong and solid but the dome over the grave leaks at two or three places during the rainy – season on the northern side. Similarly several royal rooms on the second storey, and jamposh of the bigger dome have all asborbed water through seepage and drip water during the current monsoon season at several places. All these I have got temporarily repaired.
“But I wonder what will happen to the various domes, the mosque, the community hall, etc. during subsequent rainy seasons. They all need more elaborate repairs. I feel that the second storey roof needs to be opened up and re-dome with mortar, brick and stone. Repairs to the smaller and bigger domes would save these palatial building from decadence. It is hoped that Your Majesty will look into the matter and order necessary action.
“The Mehtab garden is innundated and looks desolate. Its scenic beauty will reappear only when the floods recede.
That the rear portion of the building complex remains safe is a mistery. The stream keeping away from the rear wall has prevented damage.
“On Saturday too I visited the spot and then I called on the Prince (Dara) who also paid me a return visit. Then taking leave of all I resumed my journey (to take charge as governor of the Deccan) on Sunday and today the 8th instant I am in the vicinity of Dholpur….”
Taj Mahal was erected over the mortal remains of the emperor Shah Jahan’s most favorite wife Arjumand Banu Begam entitled Mumtazu-z-Zamani or Mumtaz Mahal. She died at Burhanpur (Madhya Pradesh) on 17th Zil Qudo 1040 AH (17th June 1631 AD). Her mortal remains were transferred from Burhanpur on 17th Jumada I 1041 AH (11th December 1631 AD) which reached Agra on 15th Jumada II 1041 AH (8th January 1632 AD). The remains were buried in the mortuary chamber. Later, mortal remains of Shah Jahan were also buried by the side of her deceased wife in the year 1076 AH (1666 AD).
Ustad Ahmed Lahori was the main architect of the Taj Mahal. Construction took place under the supervision of Makarmat Khan and Mir Abdul Karim, the dome was built by Ismail Khan of Turkey, inscriptions executed by Abdul-haq entitled Amanat Khan of Shiraz.
The Taj Mahal complex is about 800m in north-south axis and 300m in east-west axis in dimensions. There are several inscriptions in Taj Mahal, which are helpful in setting chronology of Taj Mahal.
The riverside wall of Taj Mahal is built of red sandstone and 300m in length and 9.67m in height. Lower part of the wall is plain with veneering of red sandstone slabs, whereas upper part of the wall is adirned with arched panels. The panels are carved with beautiful flowerpot and floral motifs in high relief. The frames of these arches inlayed with marble and upper corner of the panels are embellished with projecting marble lotus medallions. The wall is pierced with two doorways at the eastern and western end towards river.
The plain slabs of the lower sidewall are engraved on the wall viz. mason marks, mosan names and composition of both. Mosan names are in profusion followed by mosan marks and composition of both respectively.
Mosan marks have more than 16 different types which are arranged in the order of frequency: swastik, star, hook like mark, triangle, domaru shaped mark, flower, intersecting triangles, trident, three conjoined fish, ball with s-shaped letter inside, four square, fish, good, arrow, axe, geometrical flower etc.
The mason names are mostly written in nagari character but the number of names in Persian is also not rare. Besides these names, an inscription is written in Arabic/Persian with year at the right side of the door towards western side.
The mason names are prefixed/suffixed/based/topped with variety of marks like star, swastik, axe etc. some of the marks are in negative from which may have been taken by impression of it in positive form.
Some of the mason names/composition of name with mark are as follows (number of frequency is written in bracket): Magha (22), Gaga (21), name/numerals in Arabic/Persian (20), Ranayad (19), Pahurath (16), Sabal (14), Haridas (13), Hamhar (12), Bhagvan (11), Ramdas (10), Nathu (9), Paraoram (8), Kasee (8), Mohananavath (7), Lapra )7), Hara (7), Nagha (5), Satra (5), Kesenveska (5), Hanee (4), Ghanamahasa (4), Ghanamal (4), Heera (4), Mahal (4), Mahan (4), Jahahalaval (3), Bhagavan---(3), Namayavee (3), Nanaghan (3), Kalanu (3), Nahan (3), Bhag-(3), Jamal (2), Manar (2), Penokomopalu (2), Pagag (2), Nathanvath (2), Makalap (2), Hanu (2), Shamada (2), Nakhanltagari (2), Pal (2), Kamaphal (2), Nathahalaval (2), Ramaree (2), Mapahal (2), Kasama-(2) Panamadamah(2), Alam (2), Jaghavalahalu (2), Kalam (2), Bhavar (2), Rovo (2), and Mahan (2).
These marks are visualized in horizontal, vertical, oblique and inverted forms. The marks are engraved by the masons (stone-cutters) who dressed stones but placed as per requirement by other laborers, involved in construction work.
There is some commonness in mason marks of the other Mughal monuments of Agra. It shows that these may belong to a common guild people under which they were working for construction of various Mughal monuments.
These marks 671 in number are documented from east to west and presented here in tabulated form mentioning mark number, actual mark, its transliteration and remarks. Some important mason marks are illustrated here with a scale. Each mark is plotted in the drawings enclosed hereunder.

Abdul Hamid himself says in his preface, that the Emperor desired to find an author who could write the memories of his reign in the style of Abdul Fazl’s I Akbarnama. He was recommended to the Emperor for the work, and was called from Patna, where he was living in retirement, to undertake the composition.” From this passage it is clear that Mulla Abdul Hamid Lahori wrote the Badshahnama (in Persian) as an official chronicle at Emperor Shahjahan’s own command. The Persian text in its original from is published by the Asiatic Society of Bengal. Reproduced elsewhere in this book are pages 403 and 403 of Vol. 1 of this Badshahnama.

“I reached (Akbarabad, i.e. Agra) on Thursday, 3rd of Moharam Mukram. On arrival I called on Badshahzada Jahanbani (i.e. the elder Prince Dara) in the garden of Jahanara. In that splendourous house surrounded by springing verdure I enjoyed their company and inquired about everybody’s well-being. I stayed in the garden of Mahabat Khan.
“Next day it being a Friday. I went to pay my homage to the sacred grave which had been laid in Your Majesty’s presence. Those (i.e. cenotaph, grave etc.) are in good shape, strong and solid but the dome over the grave leaks at two or three places during the rainy – season on the northern side. Similarly several royal rooms on the second storey, and jamposh of the bigger dome have all asborbed water through seepage and drip water during the current monsoon season at several places. All these I have got temporarily repaired.
“But I wonder what will happen to the various domes, the mosque, the community hall, etc. during subsequent rainy seasons. They all need more elaborate repairs. I feel that the second storey roof needs to be opened up and re-dome with mortar, brick and stone. Repairs to the smaller and bigger domes would save these palatial building from decadence. It is hoped that Your Majesty will look into the matter and order necessary action.
“The Mehtab garden is innundated and looks desolate. Its scenic beauty will reappear only when the floods recede.
That the rear portion of the building complex remains safe is a mistery. The stream keeping away from the rear wall has prevented damage.
“On Saturday too I visited the spot and then I called on the Prince (Dara) who also paid me a return visit. Then taking leave of all I resumed my journey (to take charge as governor of the Deccan) on Sunday and today the 8th instant I am in the vicinity of Dholpur….”
Taj Mahal was erected over the mortal remains of the emperor Shah Jahan’s most favorite wife Arjumand Banu Begam entitled Mumtazu-z-Zamani or Mumtaz Mahal. She died at Burhanpur (Madhya Pradesh) on 17th Zil Qudo 1040 AH (17th June 1631 AD). Her mortal remains were transferred from Burhanpur on 17th Jumada I 1041 AH (11th December 1631 AD) which reached Agra on 15th Jumada II 1041 AH (8th January 1632 AD). The remains were buried in the mortuary chamber. Later, mortal remains of Shah Jahan were also buried by the side of her deceased wife in the year 1076 AH (1666 AD).
Ustad Ahmed Lahori was the main architect of the Taj Mahal. Construction took place under the supervision of Makarmat Khan and Mir Abdul Karim, the dome was built by Ismail Khan of Turkey, inscriptions executed by Abdul-haq entitled Amanat Khan of Shiraz.
The Taj Mahal complex is about 800m in north-south axis and 300m in east-west axis in dimensions. There are several inscriptions in Taj Mahal, which are helpful in setting chronology of Taj Mahal.
The riverside wall of Taj Mahal is built of red sandstone and 300m in length and 9.67m in height. Lower part of the wall is plain with veneering of red sandstone slabs, whereas upper part of the wall is adirned with arched panels. The panels are carved with beautiful flowerpot and floral motifs in high relief. The frames of these arches inlayed with marble and upper corner of the panels are embellished with projecting marble lotus medallions. The wall is pierced with two doorways at the eastern and western end towards river.
The plain slabs of the lower sidewall are engraved on the wall viz. mason marks, mosan names and composition of both. Mosan names are in profusion followed by mosan marks and composition of both respectively.
Mosan marks have more than 16 different types which are arranged in the order of frequency: swastik, star, hook like mark, triangle, domaru shaped mark, flower, intersecting triangles, trident, three conjoined fish, ball with s-shaped letter inside, four square, fish, good, arrow, axe, geometrical flower etc.
The mason names are mostly written in nagari character but the number of names in Persian is also not rare. Besides these names, an inscription is written in Arabic/Persian with year at the right side of the door towards western side.
The mason names are prefixed/suffixed/based/topped with variety of marks like star, swastik, axe etc. some of the marks are in negative from which may have been taken by impression of it in positive form.
Some of the mason names/composition of name with mark are as follows (number of frequency is written in bracket): Magha (22), Gaga (21), name/numerals in Arabic/Persian (20), Ranayad (19), Pahurath (16), Sabal (14), Haridas (13), Hamhar (12), Bhagvan (11), Ramdas (10), Nathu (9), Paraoram (8), Kasee (8), Mohananavath (7), Lapra )7), Hara (7), Nagha (5), Satra (5), Kesenveska (5), Hanee (4), Ghanamahasa (4), Ghanamal (4), Heera (4), Mahal (4), Mahan (4), Jahahalaval (3), Bhagavan---(3), Namayavee (3), Nanaghan (3), Kalanu (3), Nahan (3), Bhag-(3), Jamal (2), Manar (2), Penokomopalu (2), Pagag (2), Nathanvath (2), Makalap (2), Hanu (2), Shamada (2), Nakhanltagari (2), Pal (2), Kamaphal (2), Nathahalaval (2), Ramaree (2), Mapahal (2), Kasama-(2) Panamadamah(2), Alam (2), Jaghavalahalu (2), Kalam (2), Bhavar (2), Rovo (2), and Mahan (2).
These marks are visualized in horizontal, vertical, oblique and inverted forms. The marks are engraved by the masons (stone-cutters) who dressed stones but placed as per requirement by other laborers, involved in construction work.
There is some commonness in mason marks of the other Mughal monuments of Agra. It shows that these may belong to a common guild people under which they were working for construction of various Mughal monuments.
These marks 671 in number are documented from east to west and presented here in tabulated form mentioning mark number, actual mark, its transliteration and remarks. Some important mason marks are illustrated here with a scale. Each mark is plotted in the drawings enclosed hereunder.

SWISS BANKING PRIVACY IS NOT JUST CAUSING THREATS TO SOVERINGNITY
A CLEAR EVIDENCE PROVING SWISS BANKING PRIVACY IS NOT JUST CAUSING THREATS TO SOVERINGNITY OF A COUNTRY BUT ALSO CAUSING THREATS TO VERY OBJECT OF EXISTENCE OF UNITED NATIONS ORGANISATION we have Appealed on behalf of myself as well as other supporting organizations and individuals from around the world, to the world's highest body responsible for Global Governance, through Your Excellency with copies to some of your Excellencies addressed thereto, inter alia with the following demands: "this problem of International magnitude will not be solved till some sort of stiff actions are taken by the United Nations Organizations, which should be directed towards its Member States that "they cannot maintain any financial or other relationship with Switzerland or any other country, having Banking Privacy for Foreign Citizen. Such directions should be imposed for a period, till these countries do not change their Banking Privacy Laws, to ensure disclosures of the following details before the authorities of respective countries: a) Total amount of "unclaimed" money in Switzerland from each country; Total amount of money deposited in Switzerland with names of individuals / organizations, address and country." His Excellency President of Swiss Confederation Mr. Samuel Schm, and with copies to some of Excellencies addressed thereto, as APPEAL TO PEOPLE OF SWITZERLAND. Now we are placing very serious Reports, roaming on in Internet causing either of opposite but, serious impacts against very existence of United Nations Organization. Reports (as enclosed herein after this representation for all of Excellencies addressed thereto) which are roaming in the internet are relating to the alleged fact that Soviet (the then USSR) intelligence agency KGB had deposited US $2 billion in a Swiss bank account in 1985 in the "minor" account of Rahul Gandhi managed by his mother Sonia Gandhi, which causing serious but complete opposite impacts against democratic, sovereign country of India, and further causing serious threats to objects of very existence of United Nations Organisation, just because Swiss Banking Privacy is prevailing in respect of Foreign Depositors. If this then it is ample clear that Smt. Sonia Gandhi grabbed the reins of Powers of UPA, (which is controlling the present Government of India headed by Dr. Man Mohan Singh Government), with the help of such money powers from Swiss Banking System. This way Swiss People has caused serious interfere in the internal matter of India through privacy in Swiss Banking System. In such case We can understand the reason for Non-Principled alliance between Communists and Congress to form present Government, and also understand for the reason for denial of justice to me by various Constitutional and other authorities including Hon'ble Supreme Court of India, Central Vigilance Commission, Central Bureau of Investigation, I. B. under Home Ministry, all authorities working under Revenue Secretary of Finance Ministry, and Railway Ministry in respect of my Prayers and complaints against misuse of the powers and abuse of authority by Shri Jyoti Basu under Nexus Between Shri Jyoti Basu himself and Mafia Leader Sanjay Kumar Jhunjhunwala and his associates and relations, since denial to our justice is not a matter of an individual, rather atrocities, torchers, harassments etc, suffered by me and my family members since 1983 are evidence of complete failure of the entire system under political influence of Shri Jyoti Basu. But at same time if than this has been initiated to commit Character assassination or Political Assassination of an Important Leader of a Big Political Party of a Largest Democracy of the world, sovereign India, Like Smt. Sonia Gandhi. But both the impacts causing just in opposite directions, were possible only under prevailing privacy in Banking System of Switzerland proving that Banking Privacy in Swiss Banking System is competent to challenge and threaten to very object of existence of United Nations Organisations, at the Gun Point of such Privacy Laws, and can allow to challenge sovereignty of a country like India. Therefore, in the light of this, His Excellency as well as all of your Excellencies addressed thereto will consider my Appeal and immediately considering seriousness of the matter, pleased to introduce necessary proposal before Next General Assembly of United Nations Organisations for kind consideration of its Member States in their own large interests, and also in the larger interest of Globalisation and further in the interest of Human Being of the World, whose peace may be threatened if Laws like Banking Privacy of Switzerland allowed to continue any further. TWO BILLION DOLLARS IN RAHUL GANDHI'S ACCOUNT? From Our Delhi Bureau NEW DELHI: Schweitzer Illustrierte, a Swiss news magazine, has alleged in an old issue that the Soviet intelligence agency KGB had deposited US $2 billion in a Swiss bank account in 1985 in the "minor" account of Rahul Gandhi managed by his mother Sonia Gandhi. We had secured an order from the Delhi High Court to the CBI to investigate alleged receipt of slush money by late former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi's family, has cited a November 1991 issue of the Swiss magazine in support of his charge. In an affidavit filed before the High Court, we have contended that the CBI should have atleast contacted the news magazine to ascertain the facts. We say a proper CBI inquiry would reveal a scandal which will make the Bofors kickbacks pale before it as it involves corruption indulged in by late former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and exposes the slush money received by Congress President Sonia Gandhi. We have contested the CBI's contention before the High Court last month that the "allegation" that Rahul Gandhi had received benefits from the commercial dealings of an Indian firm in coopertion with the Soviet foreign trade organisations is vague and hence it did not conduct any inquiry. He has claimed in the affidavit that during his recent visit abroad this year,he had received "reliable information" that then KGB chief Victor Chebrikov had sought, in writing in December 1985, from the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), "authorisation to make payments in US dollars to the family members of Mr Rajiv Gandhi, viz Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Ms Paola Maino, mother of Sonia Gandhi." He has further claimed that the payments were authorised by CPSU by a resolution CPSU/CC/No 11228/3 dated 20/12/1985 and the same was also endorsed by the USSR Council of Ministers in Directive No 2633/Rs dated 20/12/1985. He also claimed that these payments had been coming since 1971 as the payments received by Sonia Gandhi's family "have been audited in CPSU/CC resolution No 11187/22 OP dated 10/12/1984. It may be mentioned here that we had filed a writ petition before the Delhi High Court last year claiming that his allegations against Sonia Gandhi and her family members were based on the documents in the KGB archieves. He said the CBI should have obtained a Letter Rogatory to seek the information from the Russian Government instead of rejecting his charges outright. The case is listed for the next hearing on October 28. END Dhar's book Open Secrets by opus dei Posted on June 15, 2005 1:26 AM EST A retired Indian Police Service officer, Maloy Krishna Dhar, has revealed in his book Open Secrets certain "facts" that otherwise would have remained secret in the files of the Intelligence Bureau, which he served for 29 years. Though some of these incidents have always been talked about at informal gatherings, no one from the IB ever tried to produce it in "black and white". Dhar, in his 519-page book, makes a reference to an alleged plot by Dhirubhai Ambani's Reliance Industries to replace the then Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi, with his cousin Arun Nehru. He also gives vivid accounts of Maneka Gandhi's phone being tapped during Indira Gandhi's regime, an encounter with a Delhi policeman who had managed a posting at a coveted police station in central Delhi after spending Rs 5 lakhs for this and the identification of four Union ministers in Indira Gandhi's Cabinet as alleged conduits of the KGB, the intelligence agency of the erstwhile Soviet Union. Although the author doesn't provide any direct evidence to prove his points, he claims to have picked only those incidents which had a direct bearing on him as an IB operative and with which he was involved on official orders from his boss in the IB. A former joint director in the IB, Dhar's book also contains a reference to how Dhirubhai Ambani gained a foothold inside the Indira Gandhi administration through certain bureaucrats. The author also claims in his book that Mr. George Fernandes was rated by the IB as a foreign spy because of his links with Socialist International. "Several surveillance measures were adopted to keep a tag on his activities," Dhar claims in his book. On Maneka Gandhi he says: "The popular perception that Maneka was thrown out of 1, Safdarjung Road is not correct. She had meticulously prepared for the event ... My static watchers and moles inside the Prime Minister's house had noticed Maneka transferring out small baggage items, which allegedly contained cash, from Safdarjung house to her mother's place at Jorbagh ... Soon after Maneka contrived her exit from the Safdarjung residence of Indira Gandhi, I was directed to mount renewed technical and human intelligence operations against Maneka Gandhi and her mother... I was directed to bug the target phone and locate a `safe house' to record the transmitted telephone and room conversations... The assigned task was accomplished without breaking into the premises of Maneka Gandhi." On Dhirubhai Ambani and Arun Nehru he writes: "Rajiv's woes were aggravated by a spate of `scandals' ... Arun Nehru, V.C. Shukla and powerful lobbies that ranged from industrial houses to thirsty and hungry politicians ably assisted him. In fact, certain accounts attributed a plotted coup by the Reliance Industry of Dhirubhai Ambani to replace Rajiv by Arun Nehru. They were indeed close during the days of bonhomie when Arun collected funds for Rajiv's political campaign. Dhirubhai was known to be a kind financier behind many a successful politician in India." "We know nothing about you." told Mr. P.A. Sangma looking at Sonia Gandhi. Every leader in that room were aware of the fact that the Russian spy agency KGB had deposited US $2 billion (Rs 9400 Crores) in a Swiss bank account in 1985 in the "minor" account of Rahul Gandhi managed by his mother Sonia Gandhi that was reported years back in .Schweitzer Illustrierte, a Swiss news magazine. Is Sonia Gandhi, who called Vajpayee a gaddar (traitor) is the actual traitor? Does Sonia Gandhi alias Maino is a possible KGB and the Vatican secret agency Opus Dei's plant in India. Sonia had bluffed Parliament in the 'Who is who' record which is part of the Parliament record, wherein it was stated on page 291 that Sonia Gandhi had a diploma in English from Cambridge University. This is false information and Sonia does not have even a high school certificate. This amounts to lying to the Parliament. Sonia had gone to work as a housemaid in the town of Cambridge and was learning English in a teaching shop. Russian Intelligence agencies have planted her in front of Rajiv Gandhi to trap him. The nation has no clue about who Sonia really is. What Sonia was doing between 1963 to 1967 in UK if she was not studying? India has no time to waste to find out the truth of Sonia Gandhi. She has a pedestrian intellect and not a suitable material to head our nation. Who is Sonia? She is Antonia Maino of Italy and was born to Mrs. Paola Maino, in a small village called Orbassano, near Turin city. Her father was Stephano Maino and was a member of the fascist party. Sonia's parents were poor. Sonia was sent to UK from Italy to work as a housemaid in Cambridge. As her English was poor she used to attend a part time English speaking class at a roadside tutorial. Mrs. Antonia Maino was given the name 'Sonia' by her late mother-in-law, Indira Gandhi. But there is no notification in the gazette regarding this change in name. This change of name runs in Nehru family is to fool the Indian public for their votes. Indira Gandhi was Indira Priyadasini. Indira married as per Islamic rites Feroz Khan after converting herself to Islam. Indira's muslim name was Maimuna Begum and later both had changed their name to fool the public of India on the advice of Ghandi by an affidavit in a court to Indira Gandhi and Feroz Gandhi. Before finding out about Sonia Gandhi, we should see what chilling incident happened in our neighboring Sikkim. In Sikkim a CIA agent Hope Cooke was presented as an American research student to the Sikkim prince and future King Palden Thondup Namgyal, for creating an independent Sikkim. . The then king appointed Ms. Cook as the English language tutor to the crown prince. Ms. Cook conveniently fell in love with her student and this culminated in the Royal wedding. Sikkim. Prince Palden Thondup Namgyal aged 39 married Hope Cooke, 22 in 1963 and conveniently his father Tashi Namgyal, the eleventh chogyal died in the same year. Sikkim used to be a protectorate of India, which had overall responsibility for its defense and foreign relations. Barring this, the territory enjoyed some autonomy under the Chogyal (ruler). The Indian intelligence was aware of CIA plot. Our government in 1975 ended the special status of Sikkim and Cook along with chogyal emigrated to US. Sonia could be the KGB or the Pope's Opus Dei's answer in India to what CIA did in Sikkim. Russian spy agency KGB's deposit of US $2 billion (Rs 9400 Crores) in a Swiss bank account in 1985 in the "minor" account of Rahul Gandhi managed by his mother Sonia Gandhi as was reported years back in .Schweitzer Illustrierte, a Swiss news magazine was not for free. Antonia Maino alias Sonia Gandhi has to payback for such an investment. Is this the amount Russians paid for buying India? . It is no wonder that Mushareef is asking for the mediation of Kashmir issue by Sonia Gandhi. Sonia was Antonia Maino and was born in1944 in Luciana in Italy as per her birth certificate submitted to our Government. Strangely her official father Stefano Maino a mason, a fascist, and a Nazi army volunteer was a prisoner-of-war in Russia continuously from 1942 to 1945. At the time of Sonia's marriage to Rajeev the papers had even reported that both were of the same age. So a new birth date of 1946 was created and the place of birth became Orbassano in Italy and the name became Sonia which is uncommon in Italy. In 1966 she was working in London for an ISI operative Salman Thassir. Sonia's link to KGB is also reported in the press. When Manmohan Singh's government taken office, Russia called back its career diplomat Ambassador in New Delhi and posted as the new Ambassador a person who was the KGB station chief in New Delhi during the 1970s. So it may not be surprising that recently we made urgent payment to Russia that was widely reported, even though the prices are not negotiated or finalized. Facts are stranger than fiction. The revelations by the principal Swedish Bofors case investigator Sten Lindstrom on the pressure from the congress government in India that resulted in the misdirection and closing down of the Bofors investigation is really stunning information that points the finger at Rajiv and Sonia. The pressure from India also led to the Swedish National Audit Bureau sending a blanked out version of its inquiry to India. When a team of senior executives from Bofors traveled to India to testify before the Joint Parliamentary Committee, they were prevented from doing so. Instead they met a small group of officials to whom they did not hand over any names He says that Ottavio Quattrocchi, the Italian middleman who negotiated the political payoff through A E Services, and who was paid $7,123,000 as a gift must be interrogated along with Sonia Gandhi . 320 million Swedish kronor had been paid as bribe for the Bofors deal to the Hindujas and Win Chadha. Win Chadha used to get faxes in Dubai on cabinet decisions on Bofors from the office of Rajiv Gandhi when Rajiv was the prime minister. I still remember the day Rajiv Gandhi visited the Dubai businessman Chabria at his office in the Jumbo house in Bur Dubai in the night like a thief when Chabria was wanted by the Indian police and it was a real shocker for me. I would not have believed it had We not seen the incident. Only time will tell as to what was the reason for that secret and clandestine meeting in Dubai. Italian government has approached our government in October 2003 with a request to drop the case against Quattrocchi which means that the Sonia marrying Rajiv is not a simple boy meets the girl thing, but could be a planned operation by the Vatican. If Sonia becomes the PM of India the havoc that will visit us is incalculable. Everything about our national security, defense, scientific and technological progress by BARC, ISRO, DRDO, ICAR, ICMR, our trade policies will be an open book to Russia, Rome and even to the Muslim nations. The Italian mafia will take over Indian institutions and businesses. The consequences are very dreadful and macabre to imagine as our nations will be taken over through the backdoor. In 1996 George Fernandez moved a resolution in the parliament which says that a person who is not an Indian by birth should not be allowed to hold high offices. Sonia never forgot this incident. Subsequently foreign funds came for the establishment of Tehelka, a website whose CEO was a nephew of Arjun Singh of Congress. The chief of Zee TV is close to Congress. Tehelka went into elaborate deception to discredit the Defense department of corruption. They showed senior politicians, bureaucrats and army officials apparently taking bribes from journalists posing as arms dealers. Tehelka.com's sponsor Zee TV prominently featured the story, sensationalizing it in the bargain. As far as the contents of the Tehelka tapes are concerned, they are worth nothing. The 'evidence' of the tapes would be thrown of any court in five minutes. Even worse, they would not be admissible even in an FIR (first information report), without which there cannot be an investigation. To begin with, the 'evidence' was obtained illegally. Even the police need a court order to tape secretly. When the tapes were shown on TV, most people could not make head or tail of the comments provided by the broadcaster. Parliament was paralyzed for days by the opposition. Possible involvement of ISI, KGB, Opus Dei 1. During Nehru's time Indira Gandhi might have been on the payroll of KGB. Later as per U.S. Congressional hearing records Indira Gandhi's family most likely Rajiv and Sonia, were on the payroll of the Pakistani Banker the late Agha Hassan Abedi, who founded the Bank known as Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI). BCCI was a drug money laundering outfit finally owned by the ruler of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Zyed. Mr. Manmohan Singh when he was the governor of Reserve Bank of India was advised by RAW not to issue license for opening the ISI bank BCCI in Bombay as BCCI was funding spying in India and was also funding the Pakistani nuclear Programme. Yet Manmohan simply approved it. BCCI was used even by Reliance for its hawala transactions. (BCCI had grown as a result of it running a supply centre for `Pakistani minor girls' to Sheikh Zyed and other leading Sheikhs in the Gulf. Naturally Sheikh became the leading share holder of BCCI. These details are available in the US senate reports.) The BCCI also known as the cocaine bank collapsed with a loss of $ 16 billion. All that Manmohan got was a scholarship for his daughter, but his main benefit turned out to be that the congress party immediately inducted him to the party. Many details are available in our parliamentary proceedings when the collapse of the BCCI was discussed. Sonia had connections to the Vatican Bank which was active in Europe and America drug market where as BCCI specialized in the Asian drug market. Abedi's reach extended to the U.S. also. He even had the former Secretary of Defense Clark Clifford as his lobbyist for a fee of nearly $100 million. All this was exposed in U.S. Congressional hearings. 2. KGB might have murdered Indian Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Sastri, in Tashkent, by poisoning so that Nehru family can come back to power. Following the India-Pakistan War of 1965, Shastri met in Tashkent with President Ayub Khan of Pakistan and signed a "no-war" declaration. He died the next day Jan 11, 1966. The story put out by KGB that a Muslim cook with Lal Bahadur Sastri's entourage had poisoned him in Tashkent and escaped to Pakistan may be a cover-up for what KGB had done. 3. Sonia Gandhi was groomed and presented in front of Rajiv Gandhi by KGB, to hook Rajiv which was successful. Subsequently Rajiv marries Sonia. 4. KGB may be involved in the plane accident of Sanjiv Gandhi and might be pure murder to eliminate Sanjiv and to bring in Rajiv as the successor to Indira Gandhi. This paved the way for Rajiv Gandhi to become PM, who is married to KGB agent Sonia. 5. Rajiv Gandhi was killed by the Sri Lankan terrorist group LTTE which is totally supported and financed by christian organizations abroad. Rajiv Gandhi was blown up in Tamil Nadu on May 21, 1991 by a Roman Catholic female suicide bomber Dhanu, 24, whose real name was Kalaivathi. Once Rajiv was killed the external spy agencies might have worked behind the scenes to promote Sonia Gandhi. Potential threats to Sonia's leadership were one by one eliminated in excellently planned natural accidents which are a KGB specialty. All the deaths of potential future contenders of congress presidency were killed in accidents on Sundays. Sunday murders are a specialty of Christians and this is well proven in India's North Eastern states where the Christian terrorists murder Hindus mostly on Sundays. Muslims generally carryout terrorist killing of Hindus on Fridays. Rajesh Pilot died in a road accident on Sunday, Jitendra Prasada died of brain hemorrhage on Sunday and Madhava Scindia was killed in a place crash on Sunday. Kamal Nath, another prominent young Congress leader narrowly escaped when a small plane he was traveling in crashed, killing some others on board. On Sunday 30th September. 2001 Madhavrao Scindia who was deputy leader of the Congress in the Lok Sabha and one of its senior-most members, and who was also one of the boyfriend of Sonia in London, was killed along with seven others. They were charred beyond recognition in a plane crash. Seventeen minutes before the plane was due to land in Kanpur, the Air Traffic Control in the city lost contact with it. The plane caught fire in mid-air and became a ball of fire by the time it hit the ground. Mystery shrouds the circumstances under which the aircraft crashed near Motta village in Mainpuri district. The Beechcraft C-90 aircraft used by Mr. Scindia belonged to Jindal Strips and was maintained by India International Aviation Ltd. In June 2000 the senior Congress leader Rajesh Pilot met with the fatal accident in the highway on a stretch between Jaipur and Dausa. On the KGB connection, Dhar writes: "My painstaking research and intelligence penetration had succeeded in identifying four Union ministers (of Indira Gandhi's Cabinet) and over two dozen MPs who were on the payrolls of KGB operatives. Some of them are still around... But the most surprising area of penetration of the KGB was the ministry of defense and those layers of the Armed Forces which were responsible for procurement of military hardware. My list of these galactic stars did not amuse my bosses and I was advised to `secure that information' (sic) in my archive. No one at the top had the gumption of illuminating the government with the identity of the Soviet targets... The most interesting case was that of a member of Parliament who regularly received a pay packet from the Soviet embassy for covering certain segments of the kitchen cabinet of Indira Gandhi."
Maoists and Muslim fundamentalists — they may seem to be the most unlikely partners
Maoists and Muslim fundamentalists — they may seem to be the most unlikely partners. But in a move which is rife with much internal contradictions and political ramifications, the two are coming together to forge a national platform to combat “state terror”. Calling themselves “the victims of state terror”, the two improbable partners had sat together for the first time and called for resistance against all kinds of terror unleashed by the State and Central governments against Maoists and Muslims. The meeting was held in Kerala last month. The main forces behind the move are — ‘Porattom’, a Maoist group having base in South India, Minority Watch, a human rights organization suspected of having close links with the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and National Democratic Front (NDF), a radical Muslim group accused of having similar links with the banned Islamic Sevak Sangh (ISS). “Maoists and Muslims share the similar plight of being the victims of the state terror. The best way to eliminate anyone who raises his voice against the wrong doings of the State is to brand him as a Naxalite. Similar is the plight of Muslim brethren. Whenever and wherever there is a terrorist attack, the community as a whole is brought under the eye of suspicion. Every Muslim is being treated as a potential terrorist. It is in this background that we have decided to join hands to combat this state sponsored terrorism,” said Ravunni, general convener of Porattom. Nazaruddeen Elamarom of the NDF also echoed similar views. “The Maoists and the Muslims are the worst affected victims of state terror. We are the favourite whipping boys of the Government as we are clubbed together as anti-nationals. And this is the common thread that connects the two,” he said. According to him, it is for the first time that the Naxalite and Muslim groups are coming together for espousing a similar cause. Nazaruddeen maintained that the fight would be against the upper caste ruling elite forces of Hindutva and imperialism who have the agenda of hunting down Maoists and Muslims. “This is for upholding human rights and to stop the fascists,” he added. The agenda of the Maoist-Muslim joint platform group includes withdrawal of ban on SIMI and a total full stop to encounter killings. They also want the Naxalite to be given the treatment of war prisoners. According to Ravunni, they are in touch with many other Maoist and Muslim groups across the country. “We are planning to hold our next meetings in Bangalore and Calcutta. We would be deciding upon the nature and structure of the joint platform in those meetings and it would have a pan Indian nature,” he said. Ravunni said that the meeting has brought together two victim groups together and the rest of the fight would be fought together. Acknowledging that it was an unlikely alliance, Ravunni said: “A lot of complexities are involved in this coming together.” “But we would unite to fight against the common enemy putting aside differences in their ideologies,” he added. The meeting was also attended by some civil society movements including Confederation of Human Rights Organisation (CHRO) and People’s Union Civil Liberty (PUCL) working against encounter killings and anti-terror laws.
