Anti corruption rally at Shyamali,Ranchi

Anti corruption rally at Shyamali,Ranchi Yesterday night I witnessed a candle march by young students and was immensely pleased- the colony I live is having one of the best institutions of the country DAV JVM Shyamali and DPS which each year give dozens of IIT and CBSE medical students-(apart from famous Dhoni is its product). They were self inspired. I attach some of the files video and photo of them I could get as incidentally a camera was in my pocket(after recording a discourse on the Ramcharitmanas)..

At varanasi's lanka gate and DPS, Ranchi students against corruption

At varanasi's lanka gate and DPS, Ranchi students against corruption
On 17th August 2011 I was at Varanasi’s famous Lanka Gate where some persons were staging fast in support of Anna. I sat for few minutes and got introduced from persons. Dr.Singh former professor of entomology at the BHU was leading the fast.
I signed in the copybook supporting the move against corruption by the national Medicos Organisation and the Antarrashtroy Maithili Parishad, the organizations founded by me in 1977 and 1993.
I had a memory of JP agitation days but I was an outsider and I had to catch a train from Mugalsarai and hence I sat in an auto.
The next day while coming out of my clinic I saw the students of the DPS, Ranchi after their school closure were in as if in a festive mood to support Anna flying the newspaper of the day which was full of ANNAGRAH, a new version of Satyagrah..
I stood for a moment on the road and watched the youth who were turmoil with the same mood we were in 1974-75 and then too the government was equally insensitive to the point.
Whether corruption can be uprooted without a sense of good thoughts- religious or otherwise. Many of the parents of the students of the DPS are from high up group and is difficult to think when thongs will come on the reality .
However the poinbt is right, Bedi may be at wrong foot while her daughter was given a Mizoram seat at the Delhi medical college or accepting invitation of the US president on breakfast as if a matter of prestige but issue is right.
Baba Ramdev may be doing ‘quackery’, i.e. advising persons on medical diseases or his assistant may be involved in fraud but the issue of corruption is to be protested.
And anyone can rise this voice. People are not behind any person/s but against corruption which has been an afflicting affair.
And hence, I support this movement against corruption.

Kolkata visit- Though there had been many Maithil leaders in many parties no one had been leader of Mithila

Kolkata visit- Though there had been many Maithil leaders in many parties no one had been leader of Mithila.


On 14th August 2011 I was again at Kolkata – in about three dozen visits top that metro, I had some two dozen attempts to meet Maithils of different walks and with Asok Jha lead Mithila Vikas parishad it was sixth meeting in the same place of Barrabazar’ 243 Upper Chitpur Road at Mithila Sadan..
Kolkata still has the man pulled rickshaws(of’The City of JOY), and one can get cheap food. Most of the labourers are from Bhojpur or Mithila and Hindi is understood well unlike in 1977 when I had gone there first we were called ‘Hindustani’(Hindi speakers) though we Maithils are nearer to Bengla(in fact Bangla is a daughter language and has diaghter script of Maithili).
Had we been in Bengal, Maithili and Mithila would have not been oppressed as in Bihar we felt.

Exactly I do not recall when I met Ashokji first on whose reference but later on he always had a respect of my work.
He has a conviction for the statehood of Mithila.
Many Maithils do not agree with him for various reasons but those also said that I was a guest and could go anywhere.
Me or the Antarrashtriya Maithili Parishad has no compartments for any Maithili organizations. We wish all should come and discuss for the uplift of Mithila.
Ashokji welcomed me and said that he grades my work higher among the trio(Pt. tarakant Jha, Baijuji and me) fighting for Mithila because I used to go to villages for arousing the people but he wished that all three should come to the national level workshop sometimes after Chhati where two delegates from each district of Mithila should must come on their own train fare though their foodong and lodging will be arranged free. I agreed as it has been the convention of AMP meetings also.

In my humble reply I said that both are my relatives and I was a relatively younger worker than those but have some difference of opinion with them which need redressal-

With Biajuji- that a)he had added recently Akhil Bhartiy to AMP’s Mihtila rajya Sangharsh Samiti founded in 1994 of which Dr. Jaykant Mishra was formally made president in 1996 and Mano Kumar Mithila keshari as general secretary( later Chunchunji vice president and prof. Udayshankar Mishra as General secretary)
b) AMP is organizing Antarrashtriy Maithili sammelan since 1993 till now XXIII Antarrashtriy Maithili Sammelans we could have in Bharat and Nepal but after XI Antarrashtriy Maithili Sammelan in 2003, another series of Antarrashtriy Maithili sammelan with the same name was started which does not seem good- one could go for other word for naming.

Otherwise also, theoretically AMP has a difference, it has always been asking for a Mithila state in India(and separate Mithila State in Nepal). AMP do not subscribe to the map of late Dr. Laxman Jha in this regard.

With Pt. Tarakant Jha- He is an elderly leader and was in fact persuaded by my consistent appeal to join Mithila movement which he accepted in 2000 howev er AMP differe4d with his map of Mithila(only on the north of Ganga) and in fact had visioned that he would take over Mithila Rajya Sangharsh Samiti but he preferred for MITHILA RAJY ABHIYAn and we whole heartedly supported him. Now it was up to him that after becoming a councilor the way he chose to which I have no comment.

( Babu Jankinanadanj Singh , also did not spoke for Mithila State while as MLC 1962-68 during which time many states were formed in India
I would have liked a resignation on this issue to attract public attention like Chandrashekhar Rao did for Telangana movement but again I am not a political man and have limited ability to work.
I wish all persons should work at least in their village and around and gradually movement will spread; we should spread our work in various strata- of castes as well as intelligentsia to work . I explaine4d them that Mithila, Maithili, Maithils are not synonymous nor their working on those aspects.
Mithila work is needing a political resurrection of Mithila for its economic and cultural emancipation and explained how Mithila did not get any central institution(AIIMS,IIT etc), an airport or tourist attraction being in Bihar.

Though I have visited 102 times Mithila for this purpose, and may be probably the most traveled person in Mithila(and of Mithila outside) , I refuted the claim that I had visited all Mithila villages which was practically impossible but if any worker arranged a three nights’ Maithili Workers Training Camp- I will try to come for a day there.
I wished Kolkata the nearest Metro will give a new energy to Mithila movement.

Later Yuvashakti TV channel took my interview on various aspects,where I demanded cancellation of Indira-Mujib Gangawater treaty which is jeopardizing Mithila’s water resources in favour of others apart from Mithila related points.
I also replied them that Mithila is a vast territory compared to Gorkhaland where movement was easier to spread.
I said that though though there had been many Maithil leaders in many parties no one had been leader of Mithila.
I was pleased to see many young faces who were inquisitive to know the progress of Mihthila and Maithili.

Soon Bengal may have Maithili Akademy too, Ashokji had declared while inviting for a sarvbhasha kavi sammelan on 28th August.

I took leave from them and came out on the road I knew(I had while going preferred to walk and asked about Ashok Jha- one person guided me among three- an index of his popularity). In fact I had gone for a friend’s son’s councelling for the medical admission at the tropical medical School(Indian Institute of Public Health & Hygiene) and had this Maithili meeting in bonus. There was no agenda for the next day and hence I returned earlier Ranchi.

Bande Mataram should get constitutional priority over Jan gan Man.

Bande Mataram should get constitutional priority over Jan gan Man.

Sindh or Sindhu both are Hindu many may argue and in fact Hindustan is the territory of the world which was before the advent of Islam and thus comprising an area even beyond Afganistan which may not be politically India but culturally that is and the National Song's any revision when the poet was dead had hardly any meaning.
Likewise 'Bande Mataram' is correct than popularly written as 'V'ande Mataram' as it is in Bengla(where B is pronnounced not V as in Sanskrit) which in fact in furthur stanza had saptkoti(70 million) kanth(thoats) and 'Dwisaptkoti( 2x 70 million) Kar(hands) keeping in mind the population of the then Bengal's population though that was fully identified with national spirit meaning thereby even working for a state or region(of nation) one can be perfectly national.
In Jan-Gan-Man many areas like Mithila, the first seat of Indian Culture and so other seats are not mentioned yet it is national.
Probably Jayshankar Prasad's
'Himadri Tung Shringse
Prabuddha shuddha BHARTI
Swayam Prabha samujjwala
Swatantrata pukarti"
would have been more appropriate but With Bande Mataram our Independence movement was symbolised and should have been given priorty over Jan Gan Man though both were taken at par


Our nationality is BHARTI not Bhartiya (Which may be Bharti+ Y for Yavan [0utsiders,hoards/ plunderers who came to this land als loted its temples and robbed the ladies simply because we Hindus were not united and had lost comprehension of our nationality which had a wider dimension than the ruling state/ king whichever/ whosoever was)
as said in Vishnupuran
“Uttarm yat samudrasy
Himadraschaib Dakshinam
Varsham Tad Bhartan nam
Bharti Yatra Santat..”
(The land north of ocean and south of Himalayas is Bharat and its progeny are BHARTI)

Dravid comprise Vhola, Chera, Pamdyans, Karnat and Tailangs..though I feel missing MIthila, the Gurupeeth of Bengal(and even of Rabindranath who spoke to Yoirah Parmhans that in his childhood he was impressed by amayan, mahabharat and Vidyapti..and later he wrote first of his poems in Maihtili as Bhanusingher Padawali..
The seat of I, III, X Mandal of Rigveda, Vishwamitra's Gayatri, Samveda, Yajurveda(Yajyavlkya).Ishwasya Upanishad,Brihadaranyak Upanishad, Balmiki's Ramayan, Buddha ,Mahavir and even of Charvak's Mithila was surprisingly forgotten by Gurudeb.-
DR.Dhanakar Thakur

Rabindranath had denied that it was written for Geoge Vtjough it is popularly believed that he himself sang it at the Calcutta congress session on 27/12/1911 and was adopted as National anthem on 24/01/1950. How many of us/our political leaders can recite Jana gana without a mistake.

Because it t was he who sang Bande Mataram in Congress session Bande Mataram should get constitutional priority over Jan gan Man.
