Jai Maharaj interviewed by Rediff about 'Eyes Wide Shut' [1999]

'Eyes Wide Shut': Plenty of Cyberspace Barks But Where Is the Bite?

By Aseem Chhabra in New York
Rediff On The Net
August 4, 1999

Almost ten years ago, while walking on Fifth Avenue in
the heart of New York City, I encountered one of the most
frightening scenes of my life: hundreds of South Asian
Muslims marching with placards and screaming slogans
'Kill Rushdie, Kill', 'Death to Rushdie'. There were men
in Western clothes and traditional salwars and kurtas,
and women in burqas. The most frightening thing was that
they all looked like me.

The impact of the global force of Muslim anger against
Salman Rushdie's book Satanic Verses, is well known.
There were bomb threats, book burnings, banning of the
book, killing of those associated with the book and most
important, ten years of a life in hiding for the Indian-
born writer.

In 1986, I saw a very different kind of protest. A
peaceful group of nuns, holding rosaries and placards
outside an art movie house in Beverly Hills, protesting
against Jean-Luc Godard's attempt to humanize the Virgin
Mary in Je Vous Salue, Marie (or Hail Mary). The film and
the controversy attracted some attention, but it died a
natural death, befitting a small French film that hardly
any American saw.

It is now the summer of 1999, and number of
fundamentalist (and plain, religious) Hindus in the
United States seem to be angered by the use of a shloka
from the Gita during the now infamous orgy scene in
Stanley Kubrick's swan song Eyes Wide Shut. Countless
hours, time and energy have been spent on various
websites and discussion lists debating and discussing the
issue.

Some say the film is an insult to Hindu religion,
cultural and religious heritage, while the liberals state
that calling for the removal of the shloka from the
film's amounts to resorting to cultural fascism.

My favorite was a debate on the South Asian Journalists
Association's discussion list last week. One Mahadevan
Shezian wrote in his posting:

'There is no philosophical difference between a Mahmud
Ghazanavi demolishing Somnath (umpteen times) and a
Kubrick defiling Gita shlokas in his third-rate movie.
Yesterday's Ghaznavi lives in today's Kubrick (or
whatever the hell this man's name is).'

On the other side of the fence, Veena Oldenburg, a New
York City-based academic said: 'This form of Hinduism is
a nineteenth century creation, and to rush to its
defense, if Kubrick or anyone else grabs a tiny fragment
of it and uses it out of context, is futile and in spirit
un-Hindu.'

In the another posting, Shezian said: 'Unless the Hindus
retaliate in full force such type of behavior will not
change. Being nice does not pay.'

So I ask Shezian and his co-believers, what made them not
go beyond the cyberspace and conduct organized protest
against the film's producers, Warner Bros? Two years ago,
an organized effort by the American Hindu Anti-Defamation
Coalition (a Vishwa Hindu Parishad supported outfit)
resulted in Sony Music changing the cover of an Aerosmith
album. Similar protests by the Arab-American community
resulted in Disney changing the lyrics to a song in the
1992 hit animation film, Aladdin.

But where are our desi-Hindu brothers now?

Dr Jai Maharaj, secretary of the American Gita Society,
has been following this controversy since the release of
Kubrick's film last month. Speaking from Hawaii he said
there were letters written to Time magazine (both the
magazine and Warner Bros are owned by media conglomerate
Time-Warner) by leaders of Hindu groups in the US.
However, it appears the magazine chose not to publish the
letters.

Maharaj also read a letter written by a Hindu student in
the US to the film studio. The writer of the 'Dear Warner
Bros' letter threatened to boycott all future Warner
films if the studio did not remove the recitation of the
Gita shloka from the film. One can only imagine how far
that 'Dear Warner Bros' letter would reach within the
vast bureaucratic structure of the Burbank, CA-based
studio.

Maharaj added that while surfing the Net he had seen
pictures of a group protesting outside a movie theater in
Los Angeles where Eyes Wide Shut was showing. The
protestors reportedly belonged to a rival group to the
International Society of Krishna Consciousness (better
known as the Hare Krishna people), he said.

However, Nancy Kirkpatrick, senior vice-president of
theatrical publicity at Warner Bros, said she was not
aware of any complaints against the film. "All this is
news to me," she said, adding it was a part of her
responsibility to track all organized letters,
demonstrations and campaigns against any Warner
theatrical film.

Skeptics might argue that it would be futile to ask
Warner Bros to make a change to Eyes Wide Shut, given the
contractual conditions that Kubrick had set on the
studio, including that no portion of the film could be
altered after his final edit. However, it is a well known
fact that in order to avoid the deathly NC-17 rating, the
studio used 65 seconds of computerized images to
partially cover up the nudity in the orgy scene (the same
scene where the Gita shlokas are recited) in the film.

The studio proved that even a Stanley Kubrick work is not
altogether sacrosanct and it could make a change in the
director's final vision if the film's commercial
viability was at stake. Perhaps then, it is safe to
assume that the fundamentalist Hindu lobby (which so
successfully affected the might of Sony Music in 1997) is
still not strong enough to be a financial threat to
Warner Bros. A few letters to Time magazine and Hare
Krishna type protests do not shake the empire that Jack
Warner built.

Eyes Wide Shut was released on July 16 to mostly positive
reviews. It was the number one movie at the box office in
the opening weekend, having grossed an impressive $ 25
million. Since then, in the next two weeks, the film's
box office has plummeted by 55 per cent. Maybe Mahadevan
Shezian can take comfort in the fact that Hinduism will
outlive its last great threat at the end of 20th century.

Yes it is a Rediff page and there are Jai Maharaj and Hawai in it.

Now to find out if he is a white wannabe Hindu.

He is Christian because of his excessive McCarthy-ism.

There is also his birth certificate posted by P.Rajah.
Check the thread
Who could have converted Jay Stevens to Hinduism?

In face of his praise for USA fighting Islamic-Terrorism any Indian
worth his salt will recognise him as anti-Indian which most white
Christians and USA and UK have been 99% of the time.

To that extent I pity this Ramachandra Abhyankar having to thank Jay
Stevens at least once a day, almost as a ritual.

Oh, I was very curious to see this. So, I went to the website. Big fucking
deal, "speaking from Hawai" (means a telephone call). No pictures of Jai
Maharaj. So, he told them, too, he is "Dr. Jai" and they did not check(?).

Here is the whole article, with asterisks where he is mentioned.

Besides you can't make almost any movie without some people getting
pissed.

He makes a big deal out of letters not published. Big deal, most magazines
get too many to publish anyway.

Now, see if American Gita Society has a website.

I did not write the following.....

-----------------------------------
Jay Stevens alias Dr. Jai Maharaj, adorning his false name
with a false title, pretends to engage himself for the Hindu
community while all he cares for is the money he makes
via his astrological enterprise, fishing for Hindu clients,
because the Hindi are numerous, and especially prone
to superstition, he believes. A sociopath fools people
about his intentions while pursuing his own interests.
Jay Stevens alias Dr. Jai Maharaj is a classical sociopath.
He believes that he found the almost perfect scheme of
turning even child abuse into money. And he most freely
abuses our scientific forum of sci.lang. He is now leading
his second long-time attack on our scientific forum, more
aggressively than ever. Must have to do with the approaching
year 2012 that makes astrologers crazy and creep out of
their holes: another magic year to freighten people and thus
make money!

He (Jai Maharaj/Stevens) really has got a lot of problems. That's for
sure.

I, and others, have asked, openly, "who likes Maharaj" and get little or
no response, but if you look for how many dislike the guy, you'll get a
lot of serious negative sentiment.

no response, but if you look for how many dislike the guy, you'll get a
lot of serious negative sentiment.
Jai has lot of admirers lurking in the groups.
Why do they say nothing?
They seem to be singularly lacking in vocabulary, beyond "dhanyavaad" or
"you are welcome". They also suffer from multiple-personality disorder,
which makes them seem more numerous than they actually are. One of them,
"harmony" aka pradip parekh, seems to have been soundly spanked by his
wife for neglecting his domestic duties, and barred from the internet.

Well, those are interesting hypotheses.

Oh, yes, I remember "harmony." Jai's admirers lurking? Too passive drones,
hypnotized, or similar "supremacists," too?

Sure seems like anti-Jai voices are pretty loud, and what about pro-Jai
voices? Where are they? What reasons do they give to admire Jai? Are they
addicted to astrology forecasts? Or lonely for Hindu ambience?

However, to be fair, I am also aware that some Americans follow "cult
thinking," too.

Cults in the US have an interesting psychological sociology: dominating
leaders who find submissive followers (eg. Charles Manson, etc). To get
poor victims of cultism out of cult requires "deprogrammers" (look by
google for more) as practical "excorcism" from non-religeous brainwashing.

We had this Rajneeshe guy from India (story was that India kicked him out
of India for some reason(s)) so he came to US, and set up a "commune" in
Oregon, and got rich suckers to come to "paradise" complete with turning
over all their money to Rajneeshe, and then he bought many Rolls-Royce
cars, and the "commune cops" had machine guns to keep rich suckers (now
poor) from escaping. Some other funny things happened and the US govt
kicked Rajneeshe out (he went back to India, and disappeared).

They had his "girlfriend" (a younger, attractive, smart Indian) on CBS "60
minutes" TV many years ago, defending very brilliantly everything
Rajneeshe did. For some reason Rajneeshe himself would not be interviewed.
It was a scandal. I may not have all details totally correct, just the general
picture. Anyone else is invited to add.

I do not blame India, Indians for Rajneeshe. We have born-in-USA nutcases
in US, too. eg. Rush Limbaugh. Also, skinheads (Nazis), Moonies, ...
weirdos, crackpots, all born in USA. Even a few radical right wing
Christians. But, most mainstream Christian thinking in USA is very
tollerant. I don't know about Christian prosyletization in India, but all
I hear is a lot of violent conflict in India between religions (and shit
on lower castes by higher castes).

I can help you out here. Christian 'missionary' activity in India is very
much there. In a matter of decades the entire north east of India
has been converted to Christianity. With Sonia Gandhi (unofficially she
runs Congress, herself a devout Italian Catholic) at the helm, it has
only encouraged some unprofessional missionaries to convert by hook
or crook. E.g, in Karnataka few yrs back, they were caught selling
books Satya Darshini (Truth Display) wherein Hindu gods were abused
left-n-right. Result was some Hindus turned violent in their protest.
Same in Orissa.

Pls note that overwhelming majority of Indian Christians are nice,
peaceful people and they have contributed a lot towards India.
But some scums, actively encouraged by Sonia amma, have restored
to disgusting techniques, for which sometimes they are taught some
lesson. That's why anti christian-ism in India is very very sporadic.
In fact dalits are treated much worse.

BTW do read about Christian missionaries in South Korea and their
methodology. The rapidly shrinking Buddhist are understandably pissed.

In other words, you do not want any other point of view presented! You
know what, go ahead, do/say whatever you want to. I'm getting real tired
of all the shit, which is ultimately to the detriment of India. The
BJP/RSS/VHP combine will comprehensively trash India, and people like
you with your myopic views will have aided that.

If someone or some organization is doing something illegal, then there
are _legal avenues of redress_. Attacking, killing, raping, burning
people because of alleged insults is not the hallmark of a civilized
people. The saffron sangh and its supporters are the most uncivilized
people in India.

Now wait for the knee-jerk "what about this country or that", or "try it
in Pakistan or Saudi Arabia" reactions of the uncomprehending idiots.

There's abuse on both sides. Even more importantly, there is significant
abuse of certain segments of Hindu society by other segments, which you
also seem to ignore. As for "hitting back", a sanghi outfit called
"Bharat Jagriti Morcho" publishes pamphlets containing anti-Christian
rhetoric and egregiously offensive misrepresentations of biblical
references. Have Christians all over India gone on a rampage over this?

Jay Stevens Maharaj, who is affiliated with the VHP, has made these
offensive claims:
JESUS AND SOME DISCIPLES WERE HOMOSEXUALS
JESUS USED CANNABIS
JESUS, CHRISTIANS AGAINST PEACE
Jesus ate magic mushrooms At Last Supper
JESUS' TERRORIST MISSION MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE
JESUS DRANK URINE
JESUS CHRIST EXECUTED FOR MURDER
JESUS OR ELVIS REINCARNATES AS FLOATING WOMAN IN HAWAII
JESUS SENT THE VIRUS
JESUS HUNG AROUND WITH HOOKERS
Jesus Called 'King of Queers'
JESUS CHRIST WAS A COMMIE
Christian God is a murderer!
CHRIST HATES YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!

Now replace "Jesus" or "Christ" with your choice of Rama, Krishna,
Buddha, etc., and what would your reaction be if a Christian poster to
USENET had posted that?

To make it a bit more stark, let me actually transpose here:
KRISHNA AND SOME DISCIPLES WERE HOMOSEXUALS
RAMA USED CANNABIS
RAMA, HINDUS AGAINST PEACE
Buddha ate magic mushrooms
RAMA'S TERRORIST MISSION MENTIONED IN THE RAMAYANA
BUDDHA DRANK URINE
RAMA EXECUTED FOR MURDER
KRISHNA OR ELVIS REINCARNATES AS FLOATING WOMAN IN HAWAII
RAMA SENT THE VIRUS
KRISHNA HUNG AROUND WITH HOOKERS
Rama Called 'King of Queers'
BUDDHA WAS A COMMIE
Hindu God is a murderer!
BUDDHA HATES YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!

And you will find many websites claiming to be "Hindu" writing even more
outrageous crap, not being constrained at all. So let's not talk about
being "provoked" into violence.

Folks cannot get "enlightened" unless they have access. That is what
freedom of religion is about. You can't have someone become a physicist
if he/she has never read a science textbook, can you? Are you being
elitist by saying that only western-educated(i.e., the "Macaulites")
Indians have the right to consider conversion? No doubt the inferior
"others" will be told by the elites what religious beliefs they should
have because they aren't "enlightened" enough!
Post by Boltbus Driver
You are outright dishonest if you think that missionaries, who

If they aren't, there are legal avenues to address that. Killing and
raping innocent people, burning their homes and destroying their
possessions are not civilized responses to verbal "intolerance", such as
there might be.

On the subject of being "nice" and "tolerant", do you think that when
ritual "cleansing" of a temple is done because a cabinet minister who
worshiped at the temple is "impure" because of his caste, it is being
"nice" and "tolerant"? Do you think that having a certain group of
people drink their tea(not being allowed to set foot in the tea shop)
from cups kept exclusively for them for fear that others might be
"polluted" by drinking from the same cup is an example of being "nice"
and "tolerant"? Yet when these very same people who are being grossly
violated look to change their religion in order to gain some sense of
dignity, all hell breaks loose, right? The hypocrisy simply astounds me!

But some scums, actively encouraged by Sonia amma, have restored

We have scumbag Christian scams in US, too. One Bobby (?) Baker and wife
Tammy Baker, ran some "TV evangelical church" so you could "go to church"
by staying home on the couch in front of the TV. Then some legal shit
happened, in the end he got put in jail for some crap (I forgot the
details) but it later came out that for every US dollar that was donated
to Baker's "church" only 3 cents went to charitable ends, and the other 97
cents went to Baker's mansion and air-conditioned dog house for his dog.

We also have some various snob Christian churches meant for the wealthy
and super wealthy, and palatial churches hidden off the main roads and you
just can't walk in off the street, either. Maybe if you are a doctor or
lawyer or Ray Kroc, you can join (after paying big bucks).

One of my personal friends told me about his church (I'm not going to say
the faith) and the minister got paycheck adding up to $130,000 per year
and the way he told me this sounded like he was not making it up.

Most churches don't pay much to minister/priest/etc (maybe depending, can
be $200/month to $700/mo, with or without pension, so many have real full
time job. One guy I talked to was placing house foundations (concrete and
cinder blocks) and it came up that he was Sunday minister in some small
church.

That's why anti christian-ism in India is very very sporadic.

I'm sure you are right, and based on some stories that I've read in our
media. Years ago when the fight between Kamal Prasad (who hates USA and
after he had this visa problem he never fully explained) and myself, I
started doing google searches on various India issues, and learned Dalits
have their own "network" and websites, etc., after when I was a kid and
all they told you about "untouchables" is if higher caste gets caught in
shaddow of an untouchable, the higher caste has to go through elaborate
cleansing process and I asked myself "do they really do that?"

Then, I read about sometimes higher castes go out and just beat up Dalits.

Sounds like KKK in USA back decades, 50 years+, ago.

Ugly. Very ugly.

Any missionary can be anything from decent, civilized on down to mean,
tricky, sneaky, cheaty. I read some history on this, too. Yes, sex abuse
by Christian clergy. Also google says its in Hindu priests, too. Other
priests as well, even Muslims. Nobody walks on water or gets halos-wings.

Will Durant, famous in his time, wrote 11 volume history set which I read,
then read his autobiography with his wife, Ariel. He was originally socialist
and athiest, but wrote--I think--fair treatment of Islam, Judaism, and
Islam, as well as a lot about far east thinking (budhism, Hinduism (and
ancient epigraphs), and confucious, etc.). It was interesting that
thousands of years ago India also had some atheist guys and Durant also
said they were very smart guys, too. Someday I will go back and find those
paragraphs. They had some names, too.

-------------------------------------------
'Eyes Wide Shut': Plenty of Cyberspace Barks But Where Is the Bite?
Aseem Chhabra in New York
Almost ten years ago, while walking on Fifth Avenue in the heart of New
hundreds of South Asian Muslims marching with placards and screaming
slogans 'Kill Rushdie, Kill', 'Death to Rushdie'. There were men in
Western clothes and traditional salwars and kurtas, and women in burqas.
The most frightening thing was that they all looked like me.
The impact of the global force of Muslim anger against Salman Rushdie's
book Satanic Verses, is well known. There were bomb threats, book
burnings, banning of the book, killing of those associated with the book
and most important, ten years of a life in hiding for the Indian-born
writer.
In 1986, I saw a very different kind of protest. A peaceful group of nuns,
holding rosaries and placards outside an art movie house in Beverly Hills,
protesting against Jean-Luc Godard's attempt to humanize the Virgin
Mary in Je Vous Salue, Marie (or Hail Mary). The film and the
controversy attracted some attention, but it died a natural death, befitting
a small French film that hardly any American saw.
It is now the summer of 1999, and number of fundamentalist (and plain,
religious) Hindus in the United States seem to be angered by the use of a
shloka from the Gita during the now infamous orgy scene in Stanley
Kubrick's swan song Eyes Wide Shut. Countless hours, time and energy
have been spent on various websites and discussion lists debating and
discussing the issue.
Some say the film is an insult to Hindu religion, cultural and religious
heritage, while the liberals state that calling for the removal of the shloka
from the film's amounts to resorting to cultural fascism.
My favorite was a debate on the South Asian Journalists Association's
'There is no philosophical difference between a Mahmud Ghazanavi
demolishing Somnath (umpteen times) and a Kubrick defiling Gita
shlokas in his third-rate movie. Yesterday's Ghaznavi lives in today's
Kubrick (or whatever the hell this man's name is).'
On the other side of the fence, Veena Oldenburg, a New York City-based
academic said: 'This form of Hinduism is a nineteenth century creation,
and to rush to its defense, if Kubrick or anyone else grabs a tiny fragment
of it and uses it out of context, is futile and in spirit un-Hindu.'
In the another posting, Shezian said: 'Unless the Hindus retaliate in full
force such type of behavior will not change. Being nice does not pay.'
So I ask Shezian and his co-believers, what made them not go beyond the
cyberspace and conduct organized protest against the film's producers,
Warner Bros? Two years ago, an organized effort by the American Hindu
Anti-Defamation Coalition (a Vishwa Hindu Parishad supported outfit)
resulted in Sony Music changing the cover of an Aerosmith album.
Similar protests by the Arab-American community resulted in Disney
changing the lyrics to a song in the 1992 hit animation film, Aladdin.
But where are our desi-Hindu brothers now?
**************************
***************************
Dr Jai Maharaj, secretary of the American Gita Society, has been
following this controversy since the release of Kubrick's film last month.
Speaking from Hawaii he said there were letters written to Time magazine
(both the magazine and Warner Bros are owned by media conglomerate
Time-Warner) by leaders of Hindu groups in the US. However, it appears
the magazine chose not to publish the letters.
Maharaj also read a letter written by a Hindu student in the US to the film
studio. The writer of the 'Dear Warner Bros' letter threatened to boycott
all future Warner films if the studio did not remove the recitation of the
Gita shloka from the film. One can only imagine how far that 'Dear
Warner Bros' letter would reach within the vast bureaucratic structure of
the Burbank, CA-based studio.
Maharaj added that while surfing the Net he had seen pictures of a group
protesting outside a movie theater in Los Angeles where Eyes Wide Shut
was showing. The protestors reportedly belonged to a rival group to the
International Society of Krishna Consciousness (better known as the Hare
Krishna people), he said.
*******************************
*******************************
However, Nancy Kirkpatrick, senior vice-president of theatrical publicity
at Warner Bros, said she was not aware of any complaints against the
film. "All this is news to me," she said, adding it was a part of her
responsibility to track all organized letters, demonstrations and campaigns
against any Warner theatrical film.
Skeptics might argue that it would be futile to ask Warner Bros to make a
change to Eyes Wide Shut, given the contractual conditions that Kubrick
had set on the studio, including that no portion of the film could be altered
after his final edit. However, it is a well known fact that in order to avoid
the deathly NC-17 rating, the studio used 65 seconds of computerized
images to partially cover up the nudity in the orgy scene (the same scene
where the Gita shlokas are recited) in the film.
The studio proved that even a Stanley Kubrick work is not altogether
sacrosanct and it could make a change in the director's final vision if the
film's commercial viability was at stake. Perhaps then, it is safe to assume
that the fundamentalist Hindu lobby (which so successfully affected the
might of Sony Music in 1997) is still not strong enough to be a financial
threat to Warner Bros. A few letters to Time magazine and Hare Krishna
type protests do not shake the empire that Jack Warner built.
Eyes Wide Shut was released on July 16 to mostly positive reviews. It was
the number one movie at the box office in the opening weekend, having
grossed an impressive $ 25 million. Since then, in the next two weeks, the
film's box office has plummeted by 55 per cent. Maybe Mahadevan
Shezian can take comfort in the fact that Hinduism will outlive its last
great threat at the end of 20th century.

In 1986, I saw a very different kind of protest. A peaceful group of nuns,
holding rosaries and placards outside an art movie house in Beverly Hills,
protesting against Jean-Luc Godard's attempt to humanize the Virgin
Mary in Je Vous Salue, Marie (or Hail Mary). The film and the
controversy attracted some attention, but it died a natural death, befitting
a small French film that hardly any American saw.
It is now the summer of 1999, and number of fundamentalist (and plain,
religious) Hindus in the United States seem to be angered by the use of a
shloka from the Gita during the now infamous orgy scene in Stanley
Kubrick's swan song Eyes Wide Shut. Countless hours, time and energy
have been spent on various websites and discussion lists debating and
discussing the issue.
Some say the film is an insult to Hindu religion, cultural and religious
heritage, while the liberals state that calling for the removal of the shloka
from the film's amounts to resorting to cultural fascism.
My favorite was a debate on the South Asian Journalists Association's
'There is no philosophical difference between a Mahmud Ghazanavi
demolishing Somnath (umpteen times) and a Kubrick defiling Gita
shlokas in his third-rate movie. Yesterday's Ghaznavi lives in today's
Kubrick (or whatever the hell this man's name is).'
On the other side of the fence, Veena Oldenburg, a New York City-based
academic said: 'This form of Hinduism is a nineteenth century creation,
and to rush to its defense, if Kubrick or anyone else grabs a tiny fragment
of it and uses it out of context, is futile and in spirit un-Hindu.'
In the another posting, Shezian said: 'Unless the Hindus retaliate in full
force such type of behavior will not change. Being nice does not pay.'
So I ask Shezian and his co-believers, what made them not go beyond the
cyberspace and conduct organized protest against the film's producers,
Warner Bros? Two years ago, an organized effort by the American Hindu
Anti-Defamation Coalition (a Vishwa Hindu Parishad supported outfit)
resulted in Sony Music changing the cover of an Aerosmith album.
Similar protests by the Arab-American community resulted in Disney
changing the lyrics to a song in the 1992 hit animation film, Aladdin.
But where are our desi-Hindu brothers now?
**************************
***************************
Dr Jai Maharaj, secretary of the American Gita Society, has been
following this controversy since the release of Kubrick's film last month.
Speaking from Hawaii he said there were letters written to Time magazine
(both the magazine and Warner Bros are owned by media conglomerate
Time-Warner) by leaders of Hindu groups in the US. However, it appears
the magazine chose not to publish the letters.
Maharaj also read a letter written by a Hindu student in the US to the film
studio. The writer of the 'Dear Warner Bros' letter threatened to boycott
all future Warner films if the studio did not remove the recitation of the
Gita shloka from the film. One can only imagine how far that 'Dear
Warner Bros' letter would reach within the vast bureaucratic structure of
the Burbank, CA-based studio.
Maharaj added that while surfing the Net he had seen pictures of a group
protesting outside a movie theater in Los Angeles where Eyes Wide Shut
was showing. The protestors reportedly belonged to a rival group to the
International Society of Krishna Consciousness (better known as the Hare
Krishna people), he said.
*******************************
*******************************
However, Nancy Kirkpatrick, senior vice-president of theatrical publicity
at Warner Bros, said she was not aware of any complaints against the
film. "All this is news to me," she said, adding it was a part of her
responsibility to track all organized letters, demonstrations and campaigns
against any Warner theatrical film.
Skeptics might argue that it would be futile to ask Warner Bros to make a
change to Eyes Wide Shut, given the contractual conditions that Kubrick
had set on the studio, including that no portion of the film could be altered
after his final edit. However, it is a well known fact that in order to avoid
the deathly NC-17 rating, the studio used 65 seconds of computerized
images to partially cover up the nudity in the orgy scene (the same scene
where the Gita shlokas are recited) in the film.
The studio proved that even a Stanley Kubrick work is not altogether
sacrosanct and it could make a change in the director's final vision if the
film's commercial viability was at stake. Perhaps then, it is safe to assume
that the fundamentalist Hindu lobby (which so successfully affected the
might of Sony Music in 1997) is still not strong enough to be a financial
threat to Warner Bros. A few letters to Time magazine and Hare Krishna
type protests do not shake the empire that Jack Warner built.
Eyes Wide Shut was released on July 16 to mostly positive reviews. It was
the number one movie at the box office in the opening weekend, having
grossed an impressive $ 25 million. Since then, in the next two weeks, the
film's box office has plummeted by 55 per cent. Maybe Mahadevan
Shezian can take comfort in the fact that Hinduism will outlive its last
great threat at the end of 20th century.

'Eyes Wide Shut': Plenty of Cyberspace Barks But Where Is the Bite?
Aseem Chhabra in New York
Almost ten years ago, while walking on Fifth Avenue in the heart of New
hundreds of South Asian Muslims marching with placards and screaming
slogans 'Kill Rushdie, Kill', 'Death to Rushdie'. There were men in
Western clothes and traditional salwars and kurtas, and women in burqas.
The most frightening thing was that they all looked like me.
The impact of the global force of Muslim anger against Salman Rushdie's
book Satanic Verses, is well known. There were bomb threats, book
burnings, banning of the book, killing of those associated with the book
and most important, ten years of a life in hiding for the Indian-born
writer.
In 1986, I saw a very different kind of protest. A peaceful group of nuns,

To that extent I pity this Ramachandra Abhyankar having to thank Jay
Stevens at least once a day, almost as a ritual.
So, call up rediff and ask them what phone number was on their caller ID
and call Mahraj yourself, and tell us if he is "real Indian/Hindu" or
white trash.
Rediff will have no record. It will be the author of the piece who
would have beans on him to the extent he got them spilled. Get P.
Rajah to find him then an email from Dr Arthur Sowers will get you
"rained" on by the fellow.
You were the one asking the question.

Dhanyavaad Dr. Jai Maharaj !
Yes it is a Rediff page and there are Jai Maharaj and Hawai in it.
Oh, I was very curious to see this. So, I went to the website. Big fucking
deal, "speaking from Hawai" (means a telephone call). No pictures of Jai
Maharaj. So, he told them, too, he is "Dr. Jai" and they did not check(?).
Here is the whole article, with asterisks where he is mentioned.
Besides you can't make almost any movie without some people getting
pissed.
He makes a big deal out of letters not published. Big deal, most magazines
get too many to publish anyway.
Now, see if American Gita Society has a website.
================

-------------------------------------------
'Eyes Wide Shut': Plenty of Cyberspace Barks But Where Is the Bite?
Aseem Chhabra in New York
Almost ten years ago, while walking on Fifth Avenue in the heart of New
hundreds of South Asian Muslims marching with placards and screaming
slogans 'Kill Rushdie, Kill', 'Death to Rushdie'. There were men in
Western clothes and traditional salwars and kurtas, and women in burqas.
The most frightening thing was that they all looked like me.
The impact of the global force of Muslim anger against Salman Rushdie's
book Satanic Verses, is well known. There were bomb threats, book
burnings, banning of the book, killing of those associated with the book
and most important, ten years of a life in hiding for the Indian-born
writer.
In 1986, I saw a very different kind of protest. A peaceful group of nuns,
holding rosaries and placards outside an art movie house in Beverly Hills,
protesting against Jean-Luc Godard's attempt to humanize the Virgin
Mary in Je Vous Salue, Marie (or Hail Mary). The film and the
controversy attracted some attention, but it died a natural death, befitting
a small French film that hardly any American saw.
It is now the summer of 1999, and number of fundamentalist (and plain,
religious) Hindus in the United States seem to be angered by the use of a
shloka from the Gita during the now infamous orgy scene in Stanley
Kubrick's swan song Eyes Wide Shut. Countless hours, time and energy
have been spent on various websites and discussion lists debating and
discussing the issue.
Some say the film is an insult to Hindu religion, cultural and religious
heritage, while the liberals state that calling for the removal of the shloka
from the film's amounts to resorting to cultural fascism.
My favorite was a debate on the South Asian Journalists Association's
'There is no philosophical difference between a Mahmud Ghazanavi
demolishing Somnath (umpteen times) and a Kubrick defiling Gita
shlokas in his third-rate movie. Yesterday's Ghaznavi lives in today's
Kubrick (or whatever the hell this man's name is).'
On the other side of the fence, Veena Oldenburg, a New York City-based
academic said: 'This form of Hinduism is a nineteenth century creation,
and to rush to its defense, if Kubrick or anyone else grabs a tiny fragment
of it and uses it out of context, is futile and in spirit un-Hindu.'
In the another posting, Shezian said: 'Unless the Hindus retaliate in full
force such type of behavior will not change. Being nice does not pay.'
So I ask Shezian and his co-believers, what made them not go beyond the
cyberspace and conduct organized protest against the film's producers,
Warner Bros? Two years ago, an organized effort by the American Hindu
Anti-Defamation Coalition (a Vishwa Hindu Parishad supported outfit)
resulted in Sony Music changing the cover of an Aerosmith album.
Similar protests by the Arab-American community resulted in Disney
changing the lyrics to a song in the 1992 hit animation film, Aladdin.
But where are our desi-Hindu brothers now?
**************************
***************************
Dr Jai Maharaj, secretary of the American Gita Society, has been
following this controversy since the release of Kubrick's film last month.
Speaking from Hawaii he said there were letters written to Time magazine
(both the magazine and Warner Bros are owned by media conglomerate
Time-Warner) by leaders of Hindu groups in the US. However, it appears
the magazine chose not to publish the letters.
Maharaj also read a letter written by a Hindu student in the US to the film
studio. The writer of the 'Dear Warner Bros' letter threatened to boycott
all future Warner films if the studio did not remove the recitation of the
Gita shloka from the film. One can only imagine how far that 'Dear
Warner Bros' letter would reach within the vast bureaucratic structure of
the Burbank, CA-based studio.
Maharaj added that while surfing the Net he had seen pictures of a group
protesting outside a movie theater in Los Angeles where Eyes Wide Shut
was showing. The protestors reportedly belonged to a rival group to the
International Society of Krishna Consciousness (better known as the Hare
Krishna people), he said.
*******************************
*******************************
However, Nancy Kirkpatrick, senior vice-president of theatrical publicity
at Warner Bros, said she was not aware of any complaints against the
film. "All this is news to me," she said, adding it was a part of her
responsibility to track all organized letters, demonstrations and campaigns
against any Warner theatrical film.
Skeptics might argue that it would be futile to ask Warner Bros to make a
change to Eyes Wide Shut, given the contractual conditions that Kubrick
had set on the studio, including that no portion of the film could be altered
after his final edit. However, it is a well known fact that in order to avoid
the deathly NC-17 rating, the studio used 65 seconds of computerized
images to partially cover up the nudity in the orgy scene (the same scene
where the Gita shlokas are recited) in the film.
The studio proved that even a Stanley Kubrick work is not altogether
sacrosanct and it could make a change in the director's final vision if the
film's commercial viability was at stake. Perhaps then, it is safe to assume
that the fundamentalist Hindu lobby (which so successfully affected the
might of Sony Music in 1997) is still not strong enough to be a financial
threat to Warner Bros. A few letters to Time magazine and Hare Krishna
type protests do not shake the empire that Jack Warner built.
Eyes Wide Shut was released on July 16 to mostly positive reviews. It was
the number one movie at the box office in the opening weekend, having
grossed an impressive $ 25 million. Since then, in the next two weeks, the
film's box office has plummeted by 55 per cent. Maybe Mahadevan
Shezian can take comfort in the fact that Hinduism will outlive its last
great threat at the end of 20th century.

He is really anti-Christian, pro-Hindu. see below just one example.
If it helps him in business he will play the game but doubt very much
if he will stand for the system that USA supported on one hand to
bleed that system on another hand, the syatem that is a threat to
Christian "In God We Trust".

The greed of dollar and euro by Indian oligarchs sends BPO girls
towards rape, sexual assault and murder - 21-year-old BPO girl
raped and murdered in Pune Shaan Mathur
Nov. 3, 2007

Indian oligarchs run the BPO industry to serve the American and European
companies in the dark hours of the night. Call center girls are regarded
in America and Europe as nothing less that ‘call girls on phone’.

A so call ‘BPO girl’ was not paid enough to afford a car in Pune. She
took a cab at 10.30 PM at night to report to her work run by one of these
Indian oligarchs. She was raped by the cab driver and his friend, later
murdered and the body was left in a paddy field.

The Indian oligarchs who run these companies are shameless. They steal
jobs form American and European common people. They use common people of
India, slave them with low pay compared to what they receive from the
companies in Europe and America. These oligarchs do not even provide
adequate securities for the Indian girls who are picked up by vulgar
uneducated cab drivers and their attendants in the dark hours in India.

It is shame for India. It is a shame for Indian oligarchs who ‘trade
slaves’ with the west.

Government of India enjoys Foreign Direct Deposit and incoming outsourcing
dollars and Euros selling Indian ‘slaves’ to the western nations.

What happened in the dark hours in Pune is a shame for India and Indian
oligarchs who run the call centers and call themselves running Business
Process outsourcing companies. There is no business process that is getting
outsourced. Simply put they use Indian girls to answer phone calls from
America and Europe. It is pure and simple slave trade of modern day.

The artificial currency manipulation by India and China allow this kind
of slave trade.

The blame goes to Manmohan Singh Government who allow these Indian
oligarch rogues to operate the slave centers and call then Business
Process Outsourcing businesses. The blame goes on Indian common people
who would do anything for dollars and euros.

to far away states like Gujarat returned back to a stable state. Poor
people got surplus land to work on it. It is now 33 years and people
there are still with Communist. May be in next election Arindam's

Indian Journalists are no different than any other Journalists. They
sensationalise. Perhaps Shaan Mathur will prefer sending his wife or
sister to brothel to earn living instead of honest work set up by any
one Indian, America, British.

Today most London Bus Drivers are non white. Whenever trains are not
running and Buses have to be run even the Bus Stop Guides are Sri
Lankan. Whites prefer to remain on doles rather than work.

The greed of dollar and euro by Indian oligarchs sends BPO girls
towards rape, sexual assault and murder - 21-year-old BPO girl
raped and murdered in Pune Shaan Mathur
Nov. 3, 2007
Indian oligarchs run the BPO industry to serve the American and European
companies in the dark hours of the night. Call center girls are regarded
in America and Europe as nothing less that ‘call girls on phone’.
A so call ‘BPO girl’ was not paid enough to afford a car in Pune. She
took a cab at 10.30 PM at night to report to her work run by one of these
Indian oligarchs. She was raped by the cab driver and his friend, later
murdered and the body was left in a paddy field.
The Indian oligarchs who run these companies are shameless. They steal
jobs form American and European common people. They use common people of
India, slave them with low pay compared to what they receive from the
companies in Europe and America. These oligarchs do not even provide
adequate securities for the Indian girls who are picked up by vulgar
uneducated cab drivers and their attendants in the dark hours in India.
It is shame for India. It is a shame for Indian oligarchs who ‘trade
slaves’ with the west.
Government of India enjoys Foreign Direct Deposit and incoming outsourcing
dollars and Euros selling Indian ‘slaves’ to the western nations.
What happened in the dark hours in Pune is a shame for India and Indian
oligarchs who run the call centers and call themselves running Business
Process outsourcing companies. There is no business process that is getting
outsourced. Simply put they use Indian girls to answer phone calls from
America and Europe. It is pure and simple slave trade of modern day.
The artificial currency manipulation by India and China allow this kind
of slave trade.
The blame goes to Manmohan Singh Government who allow these Indian
oligarch rogues to operate the slave centers and call then Business
Process Outsourcing businesses. The blame goes on Indian common people
who would do anything for dollars and euros.

Milk, petrol costs the same to US billionaires as US poor people, who

It started with communism, not USA.
"Al-Qaeda alternatively spelled al-Qaida and sometimes al-Qa'ida, is a
militant Islamist group founded sometime between August 1988 and late
1989"
So explain how it started with Communism which started some 100 years
before that.
Communism came into Afghan, Pakiland, and even India, before those times.
You make no sense.
How come you don't blame communism that got into India, China in late
1940s, well before US/capitalism got into Afghan/Pakistan?
It was not Capitalism tha came to Afghanistan/Pakistan. It was
American military trainers with weapons.

Of course CIA will be reported to be present by American Civil

Put themselves on pedestal.
No Hindu will say he can save (harvest) a soul to be counted by

Some Hindus will reincarnate.

The greed of dollar and euro by Indian oligarchs sends BPO girls
towards rape, sexual assault and murder - 21-year-old BPO girl
raped and murdered in Pune Shaan Mathur
Nov. 3, 2007
Indian oligarchs run the BPO industry to serve the American and European
companies in the dark hours of the night. Call center girls are regarded
in America and Europe as nothing less that ‘call girls on phone’.
A so call ‘BPO girl’ was not paid enough to afford a car in Pune. She
took a cab at 10.30 PM at night to report to her work run by one of these
Indian oligarchs. She was raped by the cab driver and his friend, later
murdered and the body was left in a paddy field.
The Indian oligarchs who run these companies are shameless. They steal
jobs form American and European common people. They use common people of
India, slave them with low pay compared to what they receive from the
companies in Europe and America. These oligarchs do not even provide
adequate securities for the Indian girls who are picked up by vulgar
uneducated cab drivers and their attendants in the dark hours in India.
It is shame for India. It is a shame for Indian oligarchs who ‘trade
slaves’ with the west.
Government of India enjoys Foreign Direct Deposit and incoming outsourcing
dollars and Euros selling Indian ‘slaves’ to the western nations.
What happened in the dark hours in Pune is a shame for India and Indian
oligarchs who run the call centers and call themselves running Business
Process outsourcing companies. There is no business process that is getting
outsourced. Simply put they use Indian girls to answer phone calls from
America and Europe. It is pure and simple slave trade of modern day.
The artificial currency manipulation by India and China allow this kind
of slave trade.
The blame goes to Manmohan Singh Government who allow these Indian
oligarch rogues to operate the slave centers and call then Business
Process Outsourcing businesses. The blame goes on Indian common people
who would do anything for dollars and euros.

First of all, what is patriotic? What is nationalist?

I say patriotism is: "I'll do anything for my country, whether it is good
or bad"

I say nationalism is: "my country is the best, greatest, superior to any
other country, and we should be running the world under our system
[imperialism]."

I think we can argue infinitely about whether US actions are net good or
net bad. All depends on who you talk to.

Maharaj, with his pro-India-anti-US content, ...I just can't connect him
to the word: patriotic [to the USA]. I can bitch about bad things in the
USA, too, but I can also list good things, too. I can talk about bad
things the USA did outside, but I think I can list good things, too.

You do if you never complain about communism.
Bengal or West Bengal that was ruled by Nehru's party began to be
ruled by Communists 30 years after the independence by people voting
for it. I know quite a few Bengalis who had fled WB of Nehru's party
to far away states like Gujarat returned back to a stable state. Poor
people got surplus land to work on it. It is now 33 years and people
there are still with Communist. May be in next election Arindam's
relative's party will throw them out. Indians are used to all kinds of
political, religious diversities. Indian motto is "Only truth
prevails" satymeva jayate ( not putting it into script that will come

So, you must be happy with this?
You unhappy that CIA will have trouble eliminating the new crop of

Sometimes CIA gets it right, sometimes CIA fails.

You mean chickenfeed $10 b to US for arms when $ 50 bil goes to India for

"stealing" money out of US economy?
Indians are used to live economically.
That is because some things in India are cheap. Nothing is cheap in USA.
Story in India: lots of people steal electricity, live in hovels on land
they do not own or pay rent on. You can't do any of that in the US.

to India paid by USD.
And, $billions worth of US drug patents expiring so Indian pharma can make
pills to sell in US without costs of R&D, costs of testing, costs of
marketing, just cheap factory and cheap currency?
When a patent expires elsewhere, USA will not use the formula?
What important expiring patents come out of India? What important expiring
patents come out of China?

I can tell you more about inventions of value coming out of Russia, eg.
surgical stapler. When the USSR collapsed, then there was technology
transfer out of USSR because USSR did not exist anymore. There is a book
on this I read 15 years ago. Yes, that was some free ride to the west.
Before that, USSR did not recognize US patents so they just made
electronics after US design. I even have a Soviet electronics parts manual
for transistors and chips. I even saw a lot of this when I went over n
1989 to one of their labs. A great experience.

Its funny in the Chaterjee book on Ancient Warfare in India, the Brahmins
were not the kings, it was Kshatriyas, and Chaterjee said the Brahmins had

people got surplus land to work on it. It is now 33 years and people
there are still with Communist. May be in next election Arindam's
relative's party will throw them out. Indians are used to all kinds of

Its funny in the Chaterjee book on Ancient Warfare in India, the Brahmins
were not the kings, it was Kshatriyas, and Chaterjee said the Brahmins had
to do "hard sell" to Kshatria kings that only Brahmins were expert in
spiritual things, so let Brahmins be top guys. Very funny, typical
snowjobs existed thousands of years ago.
So in Ancient Egypt and among Muslims.

But brahmins did became big land lords in Bengal and that was one of
the reason after 1947 that part began to slide down and it was from
their youngsters that Naxal movement started. Largely because of lack
of land reform. Land was not made in the name of those who tilled it

In fact, also, MIT gets lots of money from Japanese companies for sneak

technology (most of it) is funded by taxpayer grants to MIT.

Most of high institutions are getting money and giving some kind of favor.

When I was in graduate school at another school, they had a "Iranian Study
Center" all to make home away from home for Iranian students (sons of
sheiks, etc), nice deals for them, and warm seats in class, and all paid
for by Iran elements.

Go to any campus and see what programs are in the catalogs but the
catalogs will probably not tell you where the money comes from.

Even millionaires who donate big bucks can at least get a building
re-named for them. At most, they will get much more.

Recent election show that American care too hoot for their poor who

Polls I recall showed more like 1/2 and 1/2 happy vs angry about

And I very much doubt that 1/2 could afford easily the old system.
It all depends on the insurance system. Medicare does not pay for
everything, but it is very cheap. You need another plan to cover more, but
it can cost another $100-200 per month. Best plans are govt sponsored so
you pay almost nothing (in other words, if you worked for govt and
retired from govt job, you are safe from anything).

Beyond that, people with no money can lose their house or anything they
own. So, I would favor something like UK NHS, but all of our darkside

It was not Capitalism tha came to Afghanistan/Pakistan. It was
American military trainers with weapons.
Repeat: communism got into those places before US got int them. Moscow was
prosyletizing and taking over way before Paki became Paki. Etc.
Yes there were communists in India before India became India, but they
were every where. Why had Chaplin to move out of USA?
It is McCarthy-ism that got USA killing and burning Vietnam. And it
started there.
Not quite. USA became much more anti-Soviet because of cultural conflict
between capitalism and communism. Our right wing never understood that in
Europe the anti-Soviet feelings were not as strong and Europe was already
doing a lot of trade business with Russians, so why would Russians bomb
Western Europe? But, NATO formed as aggressive extension of USA hegemony
and influence to keep out soft aggession by USSR.

The spread of communism in Asia (first China, then India, then others) was
more agressive. Before Viet Nam was Korea, and Nixon bombing Cambodia
(another crazy mess, and there are still messes over there). So, now, what
do we have? Nobody in USA talks about bad communism in China for 20 years
now that we get cheap goods and China gets all of our industries. VN is
still communist. S. Korea is big democratic capitalist success story, like
Japan. Maybe India will get control of its country. Nobody knows if China

--------------------

India

Religious practices outlawed under Wm. Bentinck, r.1828-35

Suttee (Sati) (from time immemorial to 1829)
Sakuntala Narasimhan, Sati: widow burning in India
7941 widows burned alive in the Bengal Presidency, 1815-28
According to Rammohun Roy, almost ten times more incidents in
Bengal than elsewhere

ANALYSIS: This indicates that there were some 8735 (=1.1 x 7941) satis
in all of India in 14 years, or around 62,400 in a century. Naturally,
this should be adjusted for population changes, shifting religious
traditions, etc., but it does point to a century total numbered
in the tens of thousands rather than the hundreds of thousands or
mere thousands.


Thuggee (Thagi) (13th C. to ca. 1838)
13 Oct. 2001 Toronto Star: 1M people strangled. (Points out that some
modern scholars doubt the full, legendary extent of the cult, perhaps
even its existence. This debate has quashed the publication of a new
book, The Wayfarers: Human Sacrifice Throughout Time And Around The
World by Daniel Wood, which is too bad because you can never have too
many children's books about human sacrifice.)

6 Jan. 2001 Birmingham Post: Worst known serial killer in history was
Indian Thug Behram, who strangled at least 931 victims in the Uttar
Pradesh district of India 1790-1840
Kevin Rushby (Children of Kali: Through India in Search of Bandits,
the Thug Cult and the British Raj (2002)) considers the Thugs a myth.
14 May 2005 Daily Telegraph (London) review of Thug: the True Story of
India's Murderous Cult by Mike Dash: "James [Sleeman] calculated that
Thugs had killed 50,000 people a year for up to 700 years, [but] Dash
arrives at a more reasonable figure of perhaps 50,000 victims in total."

Michael Newton, Holy Homicide (1998)
British authorities est. 40,000 Thug-related homicides in 1812 alone.
4,500 Thugs convicted, and 110 executed, 1830-48
George Bruce, The Stranglers: The cult of Thuggee and its overthrow in
British India (1968)
40,000 travellers died in India in 1812, "as indeed they had done every
year that records had been kept."

Estimated 4-5,000 Thugs in India, early 19thC
Individual tallies
Thug Rumzam: 604 killings in 21 years
He led gangs of 30-40, and saw 80-90 murders/year
Thug Buhram: 931 killings in 40 years
One gang of 125 in 3 months of 1831 murdered 108 victims.
Another gang of 60 in 8 months of 1831 murdered 201 victims.
unnamed gang of 50 members in Jubbulpore Dist.
Thug Feringeea spent some time with one gang of 100, another gang of 150.

In one grove, randomly selected as a campsite by Capt. Sleeman, the
Brits found 17 bodies from 3 different attacks.
Not-quite-scholarly sources:
Movie reviews for The Deceivers
3 Oct. 1988 Toronto Star: 2M murders
2 Sept. 1988 Bergen Record: 2M
Wm Saffire, "On Language", NYT 23 May 1999: œM+

ANALYSIS
The simplest way of estimating total Thug killings is to multiply the only
fairly complete, well-documented number (40,000/yr in 1812) by the 600
years of activity = 24 million, which leaves most people shaking their
heads in disbelief. Twenty-four million based on a single statistic?
That can't be right, can it?

So, then, most people drop the idea of attaching a number, and just declare
that the Thugs killed "millions". Later estimates then translate "millions"
conservatively: "over a million", "two million or more", like that.

Another approach would be to take Bruce's estimate that, on average, each
Thug went on ten hunting expeditions during his lifetime and participated
in ten attacks on each expedition. That makes an average of 100 murders per
Thug. The approximately 4,500 Thugs at work in the early 19th C. would then
be responsible for 450,000 murders all told. With each generation of Thugs
having a productive life of about 33 years (ages 17-50), that means that
each century would see 3 generations (1,350,000 murders/century). In 600
years, that would come to 8.1 million.

An even more complicated calculation would be to figure the average
number of killings per year per Thug

Well, we only have 2 specific lifetime totals -- Rumzam @ ca. 30/yr and
Behram @ ca. 20/yr -- and these are the extrordinary cases.
Of the three gangs whose statistics are given
201/60/0.67=5 murders per year per Thug
108/125/0.25=3.5 murders per year per Thug
Rumzam's gang: 2-3 murders per year per Thug
@ 2 to 5 murders per-year-per-Thug and 4-5,000 Thugs, we get 0.8M to 2.5M
killings per century. Picking the mid-factors (3.5 x 4500) we get 1,575,000
in a century, or 9.45M in 600 years.
Or, instead, we could approach this from a per-gang average ...
The mean size of the gangs listed (or implied) here is about 80.
Average number of gangs at work: 4500 Thugs divided into gangs of 80 = 55
gangs ±

The mean number of murders per gang per year is about 275. That comes
to 15,125 Thug murders per year, or 9,075,000 in six centuries.
CONCLUSIONS

My various calculations come to 24.0M or 9.5M or 9.1M or 8.1M Thug murders
in 600 years, so nine million is a possibilty. But then so is Dash's 50,000,
so who knows?

Its funny in the Chaterjee book on Ancient Warfare in India, the Brahmins
were not the kings, it was Kshatriyas, and Chaterjee said the Brahmins had
to do "hard sell" to Kshatria kings that only Brahmins were expert in
spiritual things, so let Brahmins be top guys. Very funny, typical
snowjobs existed thousands of years ago.
So in Ancient Egypt and among Muslims.
But brahmins did became big land lords in Bengal and that was one of
the reason after 1947 that part began to slide down and it was from
their youngsters that Naxal movement started. Largely because of lack
of land reform. Land was not made in the name of those who tilled it
as it was done straight away in Gujarat and that is why Communists
displaced Nehru-Indiara party which that Call Centre guy made you
believe is taking India to one party rule.

Now, besides that example, which was an invention from India, but not
invented by any Indian, how about naming even one important patent from
India compared to patents from the west going back, say, 50 years?
In the other direction, Ranbaxy has applications on file with US FDA for
57 drugs, all invented, developed, tested, marketed in US by US pharma,
all going off patents since a few years ago, and all Ranbaxy needs to do
is make in garage and send to already existing market in US for cheap

Don't count CIA unless you count KGB, which was everywhere, also before

Of course CIA will be reported to be present by American Civil

CIA didn't even exist till some 20 years after USSR became USSR.

India
Religious practices outlawed under Wm. Bentinck, r.1828-35
Suttee (Sati) (from time immemorial to 1829)
Sakuntala Narasimhan, Sati: widow burning in India
7941 widows burned alive in the Bengal Presidency, 1815-28
According to Rammohun Roy, almost ten times more incidents in
Bengal than elsewhere
ANALYSIS: This indicates that there were some 8735 (=1.1 x 7941) satis
in all of India in 14 years, or around 62,400 in a century. Naturally,
this should be adjusted for population changes, shifting religious
traditions, etc., but it does point to a century total numbered
in the tens of thousands rather than the hundreds of thousands or
mere thousands.
Thuggee (Thagi) (13th C. to ca. 1838)
13 Oct. 2001 Toronto Star: 1M people strangled. (Points out that some
modern scholars doubt the full, legendary extent of the cult, perhaps
even its existence. This debate has quashed the publication of a new
book, The Wayfarers: Human Sacrifice Throughout Time And Around The
World by Daniel Wood, which is too bad because you can never have too
many children's books about human sacrifice.)
6 Jan. 2001 Birmingham Post: Worst known serial killer in history was
Indian Thug Behram, who strangled at least 931 victims in the Uttar
Pradesh district of India 1790-1840
Kevin Rushby (Children of Kali: Through India in Search of Bandits,
the Thug Cult and the British Raj (2002)) considers the Thugs a myth.
14 May 2005 Daily Telegraph (London) review of Thug: the True Story of
India's Murderous Cult by Mike Dash: "James [Sleeman] calculated that
Thugs had killed 50,000 people a year for up to 700 years, [but] Dash
arrives at a more reasonable figure of perhaps 50,000 victims in total."
Michael Newton, Holy Homicide (1998)
British authorities est. 40,000 Thug-related homicides in 1812 alone.
4,500 Thugs convicted, and 110 executed, 1830-48
George Bruce, The Stranglers: The cult of Thuggee and its overthrow in
British India (1968)
40,000 travellers died in India in 1812, "as indeed they had done every
year that records had been kept."

Thug Buhram: 931 killings in 40 years

Another gang of 60 in 8 months of 1831 murdered 201 victims.
unnamed gang of 50 members in Jubbulpore Dist.
Thug Feringeea spent some time with one gang of 100, another gang of 150.
In one grove, randomly selected as a campsite by Capt. Sleeman, the
Brits found 17 bodies from 3 different attacks.
Movie reviews for The Deceivers
3 Oct. 1988 Toronto Star: 2M murders
2 Sept. 1988 Bergen Record: 2M
Wm Saffire, "On Language", NYT 23 May 1999: ½M+
ANALYSIS
The simplest way of estimating total Thug killings is to multiply the only
fairly complete, well-documented number (40,000/yr in 1812) by the 600
years of activity = 24 million, which leaves most people shaking their
heads in disbelief. Twenty-four million based on a single statistic?
That can't be right, can it?
So, then, most people drop the idea of attaching a number, and just declare
that the Thugs killed "millions". Later estimates then translate "millions"
conservatively: "over a million", "two million or more", like that.
Another approach would be to take Bruce's estimate that, on average, each
Thug went on ten hunting expeditions during his lifetime and participated
in ten attacks on each expedition. That makes an average of 100 murders per
Thug. The approximately 4,500 Thugs at work in the early 19th C. would then
be responsible for 450,000 murders all told. With each generation of Thugs
having a productive life of about 33 years (ages 17-50), that means that
each century would see 3 generations (1,350,000 murders/century). In 600
years, that would come to 8.1 million.
An even more complicated calculation would be to figure the average
number of killings per year per Thug
Of the three gangs whose statistics are given
201/60/0.67=5 murders per year per Thug
108/125/0.25=3.5 murders per year per Thug
Rumzam's gang: 2-3 murders per year per Thug
@ 2 to 5 murders per-year-per-Thug and 4-5,000 Thugs, we get 0.8M to 2.5M
killings per century. Picking the mid-factors (3.5 x 4500) we get 1,575,000
in a century, or 9.45M in 600 years.
Or, instead, we could approach this from a per-gang average ...
The mean size of the gangs listed (or implied) here is about 80.
Average number of gangs at work: 4500 Thugs divided into gangs of 80 = 55
gangs ±
The mean number of murders per gang per year is about 275. That comes
to 15,125 Thug murders per year, or 9,075,000 in six centuries.
CONCLUSIONS
My various calculations come to 24.0M or 9.5M or 9.1M or 8.1M Thug murders
in 600 years, so nine million is a possibilty. But then so is Dash's 50,000,
so who knows?

There has been kind of conversion, P.Rajah mentioned Vivekanand, to

Its funny in the Chaterjee book on Ancient Warfare in India, the Brahmins
were not the kings, it was Kshatriyas, and Chaterjee said the Brahmins had
to do "hard sell" to Kshatria kings that only Brahmins were expert in
spiritual things, so let Brahmins be top guys. Very funny, typical
snowjobs existed thousands of years ago.
So in Ancient Egypt and among Muslims.
But brahmins did became big land lords in Bengal and that was one of
the reason after 1947 that part began to slide down and it was from
their youngsters that Naxal movement started. Largely because of lack
of land reform. Land was not made in the name of those who tilled it
as it was done straight away in Gujarat and that is why Communists
displaced Nehru-Indiara party which that Call Centre guy made you
believe is taking India to one party rule.
He said some things later....I lost interest for reasons.
  Hope you looked up the link
Post by DMJoshi
I gave you there.
Land ownership was a big deal in both Asia and Europe, in the past, and
land reform has never been completed in 3rd world countries. I have a big
book on this history in many parts of the world and want to spend time on
this.
Gujarat had most comprehensive land reform soon after Independence.
Quite a few owners of lands of one or two villages got pissed off and
took up killing tillers. It took 5 years to get rid of them. Several
Hindu dacoits (Thugs) were given asylum by Pakistan as early as 1950s.
In 1980s it gave asylum to Sikh terrorist. Of the same stock of Sikhs
who were butchered by Muslims in 1947-48. Last ones given asylum were
Muslims who bomb Mumbai killing more people (250 vs 166) than number
got killed 2 years back.

The spread of communism in Asia (first China, then India, then others) was
more agressive.
Indian Communist Party is the oldest (1925) political party of India
today.
May you and them be "happy" with each other. They also have residual in

Before Viet Nam was Korea, and Nixon bombing Cambodia
(another crazy mess, and there are still messes over there). So, now, what
do we have? Nobody in USA talks about bad communism in China for 20 years
now that we get cheap goods and China gets all of our industries. VN is
still communist. S. Korea is big democratic capitalist success story, like
Japan. Maybe India will get control of its country. Nobody knows if China
will become somehow democratic.
If Iran was not disturbed in 1953 that region to would have been very
settled. After all they were the cradles of early civilizations.

You better save some blame for communism, too. Going back to when I was a
kid, we were always taking in one or two kids in my class who escaped from
East Europe & communism, every year. Nobody from India. And, they were
happy to come to the USA (no "piss on USA").
Many Indians must be cursing the system in India not letting them
justify escape. USA qualified Kashmiris after Terrorists trained by
USA for removing Soviets from Afghanistan. Afriend teaching at Ann
Arbor told me that he is being pressurised by US Embassy in India to
find something for a Kashmiri student of mine some 13 years back.
US, UK did play mischief with this or that group of Indians. Of course

In the other direction, Ranbaxy has applications on file with US FDA for

all going off patents since a few years ago, and all Ranbaxy needs to do
is make in garage and send to already existing market in US for cheap
prices. Big free ride worth $billions.
I have no expertise in that area. But surely if Indian Pharmaceutical

If any country feels it is getting fucked by entering into global

patents) and I don't follow it, but Ranbaxy and others really are getting
a free ride from expiring US patents.

How India Cheats.....

Quotes of a letter to the editor, Wall Street Journal, July 17, 2007, page
A15:

title: "Brazil, India Walked Away From Superb Opportunity"

from part of second paragraph:

"In agriculture, the disparities in the current level of protection are
even more striking, but India has not been willing to reduce that
protection even modestly. The US average agricultural tariff is 12%, while
the global average is 62% and India's is a remarkable 114%."

Other parts of the letter dealt with Brazil, another holdout on the Doha
round of WTO talks.

population of white, blacks, latinos of USA, does that breakup reflect
in Tea Party break up.
I don't understand the question.
Tea party followers, the ones who voted for candidate endorsed by
Palin last time, the ones that went to that Fox TV demagogue's rally
in Washington?
On one had US population has certain percenatges of each white, black,
latinoes.
What is that break up for Palin followers, the ones who are set to
oppose some $800b job creation plan of Obama?
OK. Pallin, tea party, and Republicans are not all the same thing. Not all
tea party likes Pallin. Not all Republicans like tea party. Pallin and tea
party are more like extremist Republicans, base their story on emotional
appeal rather than understanding. Pallin is most dangerous. Tea party does
not like govt, but does not recognize corporate crime, either. Plus some
other details. I will pay more attention in the 3-6 months before
election, and whether our economy comes back.

We also have a lot of anti-Congress sentiment, and more anti-Republican
sentiment, but most of all, sentiment to vote all of them out, no matter
what they are. My view: our Congress is too polarized to get anything done
or think straight.

Have you ever looked at the audience of sports events? Majority white
people. If you think about it, you might come up with your answers and

Despite there being good number of black sportsman?
It doesn't even matter. Blacks in sports depends on the sports. Some
sports have nearly zero blacks, some are almost all black.

between capitalism and communism. Our right wing never understood that in
Europe the anti-Soviet feelings were not as strong and Europe was already
doing a lot of trade business with Russians, so why would Russians bomb
Western Europe? But, NATO formed as aggressive extension of USA hegemony

How well it has give returns to tax payer's money spent on that
"containment"?
Maybe not benefit to tax payers, but comfortable releif to rich people.
If they are earning more money from communist China, weren't Americans
cheated by 2containment to save Christian God?
Christian God almost never comes into the picture. Still, containment was
also a way to cause communism to spend more money to fight containment.

In the end, communism is in decline. Actually there are arguments that
this is bad for the west because so much taxpayer money went into
anti-communist programs and many of those guys also in cushy jobs lost
their careers, just like communist party members in USSR lost their
careers, too, now their party represents like 5% of people in Russia.

Patent hijacking is getting a lot of complaints and its a big deal for
lawyers. I have a book on this whole subject. It is a mess.
Now, besides that example, which was an invention from India, but not
invented by any Indian, how about naming even one important patent from
India compared to patents from the west going back, say, 50 years?
In the other direction, Ranbaxy has applications on file with US FDA for
57 drugs, all invented, developed, tested, marketed in US by US pharma,
all going off patents since a few years ago, and all Ranbaxy needs to do
is make in garage and send to already existing market in US for cheap
prices. Big free ride worth $billions.
I have no expertise in that area. But surely if Indian Pharmaceutical
Industry was doing anything illegal there is are courts to approach.
If any country feels it is getting fucked by entering into global
market it is free to build wall around it.
Maybe not illegal (but there is some fight about India not honoring US
patents) and I don't follow it, but Ranbaxy and others really are getting
a free ride from expiring US patents.
I believe Potatoes are not native to India. On whose back potato
growers of India have been taking a free ride. How much free ride the
European Invadesrs took on the back of the natives of that region in
addition to killing them. Did they bring corn seeds from Europe?
How much stolen software from US did India (and China, etc) take from US
by ignoring copyright/patents? How much did Indians benefit from IT and

title: "Brazil, India Walked Away From Superb Opportunity"
"In agriculture, the disparities in the current level of protection are
even more striking, but India has not been willing to reduce that
protection even modestly. The US average agricultural tariff is 12%, while
the global average is 62% and India's is a remarkable 114%."
Other parts of the letter dealt with Brazil, another holdout on the Doha
round of WTO talks.

I like the confirmation of cheap labor, below, better...

------------------------

from Business Week, Feb 11, 2008, pages 57-59:

title: "Are H1-B Workers Getting Bilked?"

subtitle: "Overseas companies are accused of underpaying foreigners on
work visas--and hurting U.S. wages."

I get this from my personal print subscription, you Indians who have web
access can find the article yourselves....

Quotes:

"A few years ago, Vishal Goel had high hopes of moving from his native
India to the U.S. to work as a computer programmer. He approached Patni
Computer Sysems, a Mumbai company that provides tech services to many
American Businesses, and Patni agreed to apply for a U.S. work visa on his
behalf. By 2004, Goel was in Bloomington, Ill., working for Patni at State
Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance...."

"But this was no dream job come true. Goel's base salary was $23,310,
about half of the $44,000 that Patni said it would pay on the visa
application, according to a lawsuit he has filed against the company."

"He's suing along with a former colleague, Peeush Goyal, who alleges he
was subjected to similar treatment."

"Goel's is not an isolated case. A number of the most active users of the
work-visa program, for what are known as H-1B visas, have been accused of
underpaying or otherwise mistreating workers. Last year, Patni paid $2.4
million to 607 H-1B visa workers after a Labor Dept. investigation
uncovered systematic underpayment of wages."

So the "India brag" voices on these NGs, about how Indian IT workers are
so much more "productive" than Americans, is just a pile of propaganda
meant to lie about how these guys are brought in and exploited to keep
them in poverty.

And, please note that it was a US Labor Department investigation that
uncovered the abuse.

So, are we "entitled" to some standard of living? At least I'll give Goel
credit for trying to seek justice (and an income more along the lines he
needs). And, for all the Indians out there who are posting their lying
propaganda: you're hurting yourselves and Americans and avoiding the real
criminals: the CEOs that cheat anyone they can, anywhere they can, anytime
they can.

Oh, yes, here is the H1-B visa numbers list (from a sidebar in the same
article):

Infoysys 4,908
Wipro 4,002
Microsoft 3,117
Tata 3,046
Satyam 2,880

Looks like Indian CEOs are also crooks, just like US CEOs.

Of course, Indian underlings are all blind to this and like to divert
attention to "lazy Americans" whose "entitlements" are too great. And, our
local NG shills, including Kamal, fake "Jack Welch", etc., keep blowing
their propaganda smoke, too.

So, how many Indian programmers might there be in the US making $20,000 to
$30,000 per year? And, how those Indian IT corporations getting (saying)
big increases in net profits per year? By screwing their employees?

How many software you have patented?
I actually do have a patent.
Had you named it Indians (Hindus) would have stolen it?
You did not answer my question "How much stolen from US ...."
Ask those who have patents on those software. They do keep on tab on
what is getting used and if unauthorised they do make it tough for the
users. The year was 1992. A professor from a big US university was
visiting (Surat) and was using a Word Processor that was pirated. Of

otherwise priced tool, I suppose.

CWG scam: CBI raids Kalmadi aides for fraud
TNN, Nov 30, 2010, 10.20am IST

Commonwealth Games scam

NEW DELHI: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) seems to be
closing in on Suresh Kalmadi, after an FIR was lodged against the
tainted Commonwealth Games Organising chairman’s close aides Lalit
Bhanot and VK Verma on Tuesday.

The CBI has charged the duo for criminal conspiracy, misuse of
official post, cheating and forgery in the CWG overlays scam. The CBI
is understood to have observed glaring irregularities in the deals
struck by both Bhanot and Verma, according to Times Now.

The CBI raided the offices and residences of Lalit Bhanot and VK Verma
and the raids are currently on at 11 places in Delhi.

Bhanot is the Secretary General of the Commonwealth Games Organising
Committee and VK Verma is the Director General of the Commonwealth
Games.

Earlier, the CBI had registered two FIR in their bid to seek all the
documents, which can lead to the OC’s exposure in dealing with
payments made to different agencies involved in the 2010 Delhi Games.

Following intense scrutiny of the documents procured in several raids
conducted earlier, the CBI is understood to have tapped the loopholes
in the preparations of the Games. The result of that seizure of
documents is the third FIR lodged today in the CWG scam.

Verma has already been questioned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED)
in connection with irregularities in the Queen’s Baton Relay in the
UK.

The raids come on a day when the CBI is all set to oppose the bail
plea of two other aides of Kalmadi, TS Darbari and Sanjay Mohindroo,
who are currently in custody.

With two of his close aides in custody and now his closest aides
Bhanot and VK Verma facing raids, the big question now is – Will
Kalmadi face the CBI heat next?

Kalmadi had on Monday claimed he had not committed any offence and was
ready to answer all CBI questions.

“I welcome the investigations (into the financial irregularities in
the Commonwealth Games). I will give a statement in parliament and I
have met Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar and she said whenever the house
runs I can make the statement,” Kalmadi said.

CBI has not summoned me back home: Kalmadi

Kalmadi

GUANGZHOU: Under scanner Commonwealth Games Organising Committee
chairman Suresh Kalmadi on Thursday refused to talk about the Queen
Baton Relay’s controversy, which resulted in the arrest of three of
his close aides, and said he has not been summoned by the CBI back
home in India.

“No, I have not been summoned,” was the prompt reply from Kalmadi, who
is in Guangzhou for the Asian Games.

When asked whether he has been asked by the CBI to come back to India,
Kalmadi said, “No, No, No (smiling).”

Kalmadi’s aides – T S Darbari, Sanjay Mahendroo and M Jayachandran —
were arrested for alleged financial irregularities during the
organisation of the Relay in London last year and are presently in CBI
custody, pending investigation.

While Darbari and Mahendroo have been in CBI custody since their
arrest on November 15, Jayachandran was arrested on the November 20.

When asked about his whereabouts, the OC chairman told reporters, “I
am here for the closing ceremony. I have been in Monaco and I have
been in China (for the last one week).”

Refusing to talk about the arrest of his three aides in India, Kalmadi
said, “We will talk about this in Delhi. Let’s talk about athletics
here.”

Please, set Kashmir free
Malavika Sangghvi | Saturday, August 23, 2008

As the daughter of a Kashmiri Hindu, whose family left its ancestral
home in Srinagar during the turmoilthat followed Partition, I would
liketo express a sentiment that I still haven’t heard in the rhetoric
about Kashmir.

I speak for those for whom Kashmir is not a symbol of one-upman ship
with Pakistan, not a piece of a jigsaw puzzle that is intrinsic to the
sovereignty of Indiaand not a football to be kicked around by cynical
politicians, but as the daughter of a family in whose very lifeblood
Kashmir courses every moment.

Cut our hearts open and you will see Kashmir, put your ear to our
sighs, and you will hear our yearning for the land where our family
spent its last days intact and happy before Partition scattered us to
the winds, rendering us refugees.

Growing up dislocated in Mumbai, as a child, it never failed to
surprise me when people who oftenhadn’t so far stepped out of their
suburb, would say:”Kashmir is ours! We will never give it up! Let them
try and take Kashmir from us!”

Even at that early age, when I could have mistaken their jingoism for
kindred sentiment, I realised that their virulence had nothing to do
with my family’slove for Kashmir, but was misguided machismo.

And I would find myself seething with rage at the audacity of their
presumption. “But Kashmir was never yours,” I’d say in my mind. And
sometimes, when more provoked: “You don’t deserve Kashmir!” And then
I’d go home to my mother, whose ever present, unshed tears for her
homeland, were a leitmotif of our life in Mumbai.

Throughout my childhood, my family would go back to Srinagar (the
ancestral home in Vazir Baugh had to be sold when my widower
grandfather became too old to live alone) to stay with Muslim friends,
with whom we shared a poignant empathy: we had lost Kashmir because we
had moved away; they were losing it everyday, living there, witnessing
its destruction. Over kawha, we would watch as the elders of our
family weep for what had been.

Like a woman too beautiful for her own good, Kashmir was a tragedy
even then. It produced an ache in our hearts when we heard its name
and thought of its ill fate: and then, because you cannot sit weeping
over lost Valleys all your life,when we returned home we put Kashmir
on the backburner.

And on that backburner, Kashmir fermented Sheikh Abdullah, a man whose
commitment to India was unquestionable, was humiliated, jailed,
alienated. The most unimaginable genocide was committed on thepeople.
Entire generations of its sons were mowed down by an army whose
presence was as large as it was unpopular. And in its knee-jerk,
misguided, ill-conceived approach to Kashmir the Indian polity
revealed its shallowness.

But through this all, intrinsically, those of us who have Kashmir in
our bloods, know that the Kashmiri Pandits who have been driven out of
their homeland are not enemies of the Kashmiri Muslims, in fact they
are both victims of the historic blundering of the Indian government’s
Kashmir policy.

Take away Delhi’s political brinkmanship, take away the Hindutva
sentiment that has played so neatly into the hands of Pakistan and its
fishing-in-troubled-waters game and you may be surprised at how
harmoniously Kashmir’s Hindus and Muslims can live.

So, on behalf of my mother, my family, and all those who have loved
and lost Kashmir, I beg:Please. We have done enough damage to and in
Kashmir. Enough to last many lifetimes. The chinars are tinged with
too muchblood. We have failed Kashmir and we don’t deserve her
anymore. Leave Kashmir alone. Set her free.

MFIs are making profits at the expense of the poorest people
Anil Dharker | Monday, November 1, 2010

Comments: 3

An estranged wife may not be the most objective witness, so perhaps we
shouldn’t take everything Malini Byanna says about ex-husband Vikram
Akula as gospel truth.

Writing an Open Letter, her main contention is that many of the ideas
adopted by SKS Microfinance were originally hers; she also says the
seed money for the whole enterprise came from her family. She also
accuses him of ruthlessness and getting rid of people who disagreed
with him or were no longer useful to him.

Akula is not the first CEO, and he won’t be the last, who is accused
of the ‘sins’ listed above. In fact in the corporate world, especially
in the US, a CEO’s single-minded focus on profits accompanied by a
willingness to ‘push people off the cliff’ will often be rewarded with
a million dollar bonus.
Article continues below the advertisement…

Akula does have a history of sacking people, the latest being the SKS
CEO Suresh Gurunani, whose hiring had grabbed business paper
headlines.

But we shouldn’t shed too many tears for Gurunani: after all, he was
given a joining bonus of Rs1 crore by SKS. More than that his
severance terms would give him his salary for a year (Rs1.5 crore)
plus 1.25 lakh stock options (valued at Rs300 crore at current
prices!!) Not bad for few months work.

It’s not Vikram Akula’s management style nor his inter-personal
relationships which should bother us. What should are some of the
numbers in the previous paragraph and some of the numbers that follow.
The number of zeroes bankers and finance men can command, while making
zero real contribution to society is no longer news.

The shamelessness with which Americans bankers have paid themselves
million dollar bonuses while pauperising their middle-class clients is
too well documented to require repetition.

But a micro finance institution? Somehow that was meant to be
different. Ever since Mohammed Yunus was given a Nobel for his work
with Grameen Bank, the world was under the illusion that micro-finance
was a benevolent exercise, and people like Akula wore a halo that
shone in any light. Now we know that the halo dazzled us so much that
we failed to see how fat their wallets had become.

It wasn’t just the media that was taken in: one of the large investors
in SKS Micro finance was Narayan Murthy, and if even he could be taken
in…

Someone — a banker —said to me, “What’s wrong in making profits?”
There isn’t, of course, but there’s a line beyond which profit becomes
profiteering. In the case of micro-financing, that line is clear and
leaves no room for ambiguity because of the nature of the enterprise.

Micro finance companies give small loans to farmers and the rural
poor, a role hitherto played by moneylenders, the kind who gave rise
to Naxalism.

These money lenders charged 48% interest or sometimes even more, thus
ensuring that their client is forever in debt. Banks, even
nationalised banks, wouldn’t step in because the sums involved were
too small and the customers were too far dispersed. In stepped
microfinance companies, willing to work with small margins, and
spreading around the countryside to the remotest corners to help the
poor of our country.

Or so we thought till Vikram Akula went in for an IPO. The size of the
IPO and the eagerness of people to lap up its shares made everyone sit
up and take notice: obviously there was lots of money to be made in
microfinance. The public who subscribed to the IPO saw that before the
media did.

The microfinance bottom line works because of the traditional money
lender. If he charges 50% interest, anyone charging half of that seems
like an angel.

Which is how SKS worked: get money from institutions at 9.5% (by
Akula’s recent admission) and lend at 26%. That margin takes care of
the high cost of disbursing and collecting over a large geographical
area, and still leaves a very healthy margin for making profit.

You and I pay less than half of that for our home loans. But the poor
and marginal farmer, making a subsistence living, borrowing money for
absolute essentials like seeds and fertilisers, has to pay 26% or
more. (Since the story broke, SKS has announced a reduction of 2% in
the interest charged. Big deal)

This is profit-taking at its most callous, because the MFIs are making
massive profits at the expense of the poorest people in India. As a
result, farmer suicides continue unabated.

In Andhra Pradesh, for example, 25 people took their own lives
recently. Of them 17 were SKS Microfinance borrowers.

Perhaps that’s just a coincidence. But the fact remains that the poor
of this country are being exploited by people who profess to be do-
gooders, but actually are in it only to make money.

The fate of Vikram Akula and SKS Microfinance should not bother us;
what should is the fate of the millions who make companies like SKS
fat and profitable, and who themselves have nothing — not even a
semblance of a future — to show for it.

Comments:

Rajan Alexander from Bangalore
Micro-savings and revolving loans often worked very well. Self-Help
Groups (SHGs) being small and homogeneous are controlled by members
where borrowers themselves play a key role in the development of SHGs.
They contribute small savings, regularly attend the meetings, and
participate in making the rules related to loans, interest rates,
repayment schedules and mechanisms. These groups are thus more likely
to be characterised by self-management and self-reliance.

This is until the much-hyped micro-finance institutions (MFIs) burst
onto the scene. They eased out NGOs on the specious argument that we
were not equipped with our limited capability to run micro-finance
lending programmes. These MFIs operate under these two beliefs:
“Having access to expensive credit is better than no credit” and “the
observed rate is where demand equals supply”. These two beliefs were
ironically the very same fulcrum on which the traditional moneylenders
operate.

The result is an “animal farm” situation where we are now not able to
distinguish between “pigs” and “humans” and vice-versa. In fact,
moneylenders have got a makeover by packaging themselves as MFIs. A
good example is Mohammed Yunus of Grameen Bank who comes from a
traditional money-lending caste. And of course, he got the Nobel Prize
and so did Al Gore & Pachauri. Thank God, the Nobel Committee did not
confer Gandhiji the same distinction, by clubbing him with these
scamsters. In India, it is no accident that the Father of
Microfinance, Vijay Mahajan, also comes from a traditional money-
lending caste.

I Care from delhi
If micro-savings and revolving loans had worked well then no one
should have gone to MFIs. i can understand how much so called NGOs and
social activists have been neglected by poor peoples after the arrival
of MFIs. And these NGOs and social activists sure want to take their
revenge by ranting and making lies (at the expense of the poor
again?).

Of course an MFI company has an agenda to make profit. Article would
have made some sense if author had presented some data or statistics
to justify his claims instead of just writing few paragraphs of pure

Greed for land has consumed society
Prahlad Rao | Tuesday, November 30, 2010

Land has been the flavour of the month and may stay like that as the
New Year dawns. The debate generated by politicians has cast a shadow
over all of us in this city, which seems to have sold its soul to the
devil in the form of a real estate agent.

While BDA raised the hopes of lakhs of middle class people, it has
failed to the gather support of other government agencies to fulfill
their dreams. It is slow and gets bogged down often in procedures
because of inflexibility. This slow pace of development has given rise
to a breed of unscrupulous elements out to cash in on the greed for a
piece of property.

The bureaucracy, the political establishment and the agents have
transformed the middle class into a greedy pack. The tragedy of modern
times is that the middle class, which has always been the custodian of
society’s values and morals, has lost its bearings and credibility.

Thomas More in his celebrated work Utopia wrote: “All this greed
for gain and accompanying centralization of wealth in the hands of few
leads to the rise of a dispossessed and indigent class. Then, with a
view to keeping this class in subjugation, heavy and fearful
punishments are decreed.”

Maybe he had the current lot of politicians in mind when More wrote
strongly against the statesmen who rant about public good when all the
time they are seeking their own advantage.

What is this advantage we all fall for? It’s the desire to get while
the getting is good. Those who strive for power and wealth have long
thought that more would satisfy them. Human experience demonstrates
that individuals and institutions, small and great, have faced this
temptation.

Want more damning explanation? Read this. Philippe Gigantès, history
professor and retired Canadian senator, suggests in Power & Greed: A
Short History of the World (published in 2002) that the highlights of
human history have been part of an ongoing quest to gain power, “the
best instrument for satisfying one’s desires.”

“Whatever their culture and epoch,” writes Gigantès, “mankind has
sought to acquire what it takes to satisfy five basic desires:
security, shelter, sustenance, sex (for pleasure or progeny) and self-
expression. To avoid chaos, society needs rules that limit the freedom
of its members to pursue their desires.”

Land will be the chief reason if Bangalore loses its character and
culture. Politicians are grabbing them by the acre, farmers are
selling them for a price, agents are manufacturing fake documents by
the dozen and the middle-class is waiting to be cheated. Greed has
made us forget the values and spirit of community. We hope that those
who care for Bangalore will act and temper the temptation and stem the
rot, now.

Column
Resignation is not enough; A Raja must be fully exposed
Anil Dharker | Monday, November 15, 2010

Comments: 2

Anil Dharker

This is being written on Saturday morning. When you read the column on
Monday, will Spectrum Raja still be king of the telecom ministry?
Maybe, maybe not. “I will not resign,’ he has said, adding “why should
I resign?” Millions of Indians can tell him why, but the one Indian
who matters to Raja, a certain gentleman in dark glasses in Chennai
whose name suggests infinite kindness, hasn’t told him why, so he will
shamelessly cling on to his chair.

But perhaps, this time M Karunanidhi might not have any option but to
replace him.

However, will the mere removal of Raja be enough? In the Adarsh case,
the buck hasn’t stopped with Chavan. There’s talk of initiating action
against the bureaucrats whose clever machinations made the whole scam
possible, people like Ramanand Tiwari, then principal secretary for
urban development, SS Kshatriya, then general manager of BEST (they
seem to have helped transfer spare FSI (floor space index) from the
adjoining BEST land to Adarsh), the Mumbai Collector Idzes Kundan and
others.

There is also serious talk of demolishing the Adarsh building which
will be a fitting thing to do, because it will ensure that all those
dreams of making illicit money will lie in a heap of rubble.
Similarly, in the Commonwealth Games scandal, it’s not just Suresh
Kalmadi who had to resign from his Congress party post. Multiple
probes are on into every aspect of the Games.

But the Commonwealth Games and Adarsh scams are really tiny compared
to the telecom scandal. In its final report on the case, the
Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) has said that the loss to the
country due to the spectrum scam is Rs1.76 lakh crore.

That’s Rs1760000000000. Now you know why long, long ago India invented
the zero: we knew that in the coming centuries we would need lots and
lots of them. Most of us would have problems comprehending what all
those zeroes mean. This may help a bit. Rs1.76 lakh crore is seven
times the national health budget, three times the education budget,
and bigger than the entire defence budget.

Impressed? You should be. Can there be a bigger scam than this? It has
to be the biggest swindle ever in the history of India and anywhere in
the world. Yet, Raja and his Boss of Infinite Mercy think they are
blameless!

CAG’s final report leaves no room for ambiguity. It says the
allocation of the 2G (2nd generation) spectrum in January 2008 was
flawed in every way. A total of 122 licences were issued to telecom
companies for 2G services in different circles in the country. Of
these, according to CAG, 85 licences were given to 12 companies
inspite of the fact that they did not meet DoT eligibility conditions.
But that’s a technicality: based on the foreign direct investment
(FDI) attracted by the companies which won the licences, the cost of a
pan-India licence should have been anywhere between Rs7,442 crore and
Rs47,918 crore. Raja issued a pan-India licence for only Rs1,658
crore.

CAG used two different methodologies to assess the loss to the
exchequer. One was based on the offer made by foreign telecom major
STel in 2007. For 6.2 MHz of 2G spectrum for the 122 licences, its
offer added up to Rs65,725 crore against the Rs1,093 crore collected
by DoT. Add to that the dual technology rate offered by STel of
Rs24,591 crore and you get Rs90,316 crore. The second methodology is
too technical to get into.

Raja and his ministry adopted a first-come, first-served policy at
earlier rates rather than the auction route taken for 3G, which has
shown how very valuable spectrum allocation is. Raja and his cronies
may claim that this is hindsight, and that at the time of the 2G
allocation they did not have the benefit of the 3G figures. To that we
reply with a simple analogy: Suppose you had a very rare Tyeb Mehta
painting, one everyone knew was extremely valuable. Would you sell it
to the first offer you received? Or would you put it up for auction at
Christie’s to see how much more the painting would fetch?

I will give you two answers. Answer No 1: You would maximise your
income by giving it to the auction house. Answer No 2: You would sell
it to the first buyer. This would have a catch: the income here would
be your official declared income. But there would be a sizeable amount
you would get under the table. Am I insinuating something? Draw your
own conclusions.

But is Raja’s head enough? If he is sacked, he will lick his wounds,
and then flourish in Tamil Nadu politics. Considering the loss he has
caused to the nation, he must be probed by the Anti Corruption Bureau,
income-tax department, etc, thoroughly. If he has amassed any wealth,
he should be made to cough it up. In any case, he should be prosecuted
for all its worth.

Even that isn’t enough. What about the officials of the telecom
ministry? How can they get away scot free? They can’t and they
shouldn’t. From now on, no one should.

Most regional parties function like the D-Company. There is no way
Raja could have made money without the knowledge of DMK top leaders —
in fact Raja might have made very little for himself and the bulk of
the booty would have been taken away by the Karunanidhi family. The
Congress party must be aware of what happened, but this is the price

Sonia’s faith is her private matter: HC

Tags:Sonia Gandhi|Right To Information|Punjab and Haryana High Court

CHANDIGARH: A division bench of the Punjab and Haryana high court on
Monday dismissed an appeal to seek information under Right to
Information Act on the religion practised by Sonia Gandhi. The bench
comprising Chief Justice Mukul Mudgal and Justice Ranjan Gogoi
dismissed the appeal on whether the registrar general, Census
Operations, is bound to provide details of the religion practised by
the UPA chairperson and her children under the RTI Act.

The appeal was filed by former Haryana DGP PC Wadhwa. While dismissing
it the bench said, ”It is evident that the petitioner is making
efforts to make unjustified inroads into the privacy of said
individuals even if they are public figures. Consequently, the
information provided to the Census Officer cannot be made public.”

The judges said, ”In our view, the provisions of section 15 of the
Census Act, 1948 are not inconsistent with provisions of Section 8(1)
(j) of the RTI Act, 2005 and both can be read harmoniously.
Accordingly, Section 22 of the RTI Act, 2005 will not come into
operation and cannot sustain the pleas of the appellant.

I wonder what the petitioner was upto? The court should have fined at
least one lakh for wasting the time of the court on trivial things as
this one. Sonia is a public figure but that does not mean that she has
to reveal her personal faith to anybody. I respect Sonia Gandhi as a
politician not because she is a christian or Hindu or Congress leader
but because of her attitude to other leaders; Can anybody point a
finger at her for abusing any opposition leaders unnecessarily? She
does criticise others but there is a serenity and dignity about her
which is lacking in many frontline politicians except perhaps one
Vajpayee, Manmohan and Antony. But of course, if I have to choose one
from among a bunch after our Sardar Singhji, I would defenitely go for
Antony or Nitish.

The Casteism was, earlier, a Political System to control and operate
the society smoothely. Ofcourse, it was failed on emergence of other
relegions in comparision ; and the country became slave because of non-
participation of majority of Hindu population. A caste-hindu, even
without any human-value grows as ego-centric to feel himself superior.
Now the system has changed to tackle the people in light of
constitutional human values. Therefore the casteism should go but it
can not be eradicated unless the caste-hindus attain a confidence and
follow honesty because now caste-hindus are in minority as the
democracy is the number game too. Caste-hindus have to start with a
system of social , moral and human values which they lost for fear of
own-survival ; as they are still society controller. They should adopt
the new system of fraternity, liberty and equality as described by the
constitution. Religion is a matter of personal faith. If not than
Islaam is superior to hinduism as to advocate the mass while hinduism
is a system of perpetual exploitation of mass. There is no brotherhood
in hinduism.

One cannot agree with the observations of the court. We have this myth
that faith is private when it is not really all around the world. If
it is so private why would the Indian government ask for it in the
census ? Of course a person has a right to not reveal his faith for
whatever reasons, in which case the census should record that as
private and report it as private. If anybody can say what his or her
faith is , to a census worker what harm comes by revealing the same in
public ? This is just ridiculous. We have every right to know what the

Dear Vik, You should become more aware than be naive about such

especially when they wield the power in a country and more so when she
is Sonia Gandhi, whose family publicly portrays that they are Hindus
to get votes whereas there are strong reports suggesting that they
practice Christianity and help the missionaries indulged in induced
and forced conversions. What’s the harm in declaring their true
credentials. As public figures and wielding maximum power they need to
come clean and truthful with the people of India. It is important and
critical integrity issue not just a matter of faith. And for your
information, in reference to your US remark, in the US, faith is very
very important as much as that Bobby Jindal and Nikki Haley could not
have become Governors if they had not converted to Christianity. Till
date, for people of USA, it is the first requirement in their mind,

And we see how people take the debate to some other plane,sure sign of

knowing one’s faith(practising or non practising).If that needs to be
private,why govt of India wants us to reveal
ourreligion,caste,subcasteeverytime we fill out forms.I am not sure
what concession if any Sonia Gandhi gets from election commission for
not revealing her faith when she files her papers for elections. Can
HC facilitate the process of knowing which faith Rajiv Gandhi used to
follow was he atheist.The leaders who want to form a secular society
should be very forthcoming about themselves in public.This shroud of
secrecy is like backstabbing the public. People of Andhra Pradesh
voted for YSR as CM.Andhra electorate must not be knowing that YSR was
a practising Christian. “Reddy’s parents were devout Christian and he
was buried according to Christian rites. He had also visited Bethlehem
and other holy Christian cities in Israel twice. Although Reddy was a
third generation Christian, he was also projected as a “devotee” of
the Hindu deity Venkateswara.” The point which i am trying to make is
if High Court is lending some credibility to Congress’ fear that by
knowing the truth about Sonia Gandhi’s faith congress will not be able
to put forth the dynasty with same mass appeal then judiciary is
insulting Indians and Hindus.Sonia Gandhi is Indian citizen first then
all Indian people should know her faith(husband’s or hers).

her.When she turned down the Prime Ministers chair, I remember Indians
turned out in large numbers urging her to reconsider.She did not ask
for all this.That she has remained in India is enough for me respect
her as an Indian. You may call me an outside Idiot,but there are are
many people of Indian origin ,like me ,who are Presidents, Prime
Minsters ,Cabinert ministers, StateGovernors and Governor General ,in
other countries, some bestowed with Lordship and Knighthood.Their
Indian heritage is highlighted by their body colour, their names and

imagine the plight of Congress before she joined and soon after she

many Christians in USA view him with doubt as he is not full christian
(father a Muslim..). That being the case, any one who mock Indians in
the name of secularism who want to know Sonia’s roots are plain
stupid. Religion does matter, as it is big part of nation’s identity/
culture. India will not be India if Hindus are in minority. Go to
Pakistan and see what happens! Long ago it was part of India, until
Hindus were reduced to minority. Now we have western funded
missionaries who use UPA, media and Maoists to convert/eliminate Hindu
interests. Many nationalist Sanatana Dharma followers want to know if
Sonia is part of this setup to uproot India of its ancient glorious
past of Sanatana Dharma values. Just watch Subramanya Swami’s speech

are. Yet, you blindly call Indians narrow minded. Ask Barack Obama
about religion and politics. I am sure he will give you the befitting
answer. And yes, I am in US, so I know better. One cannot even be an
attorney general if the religion is not christian.

Much as we would like to accept and believe what you said, even here
in Australia, the current PM had a tough time convincing the people
that being an agnostic (or atheist), she can serve as the PM. It is
sad but true that religion has irrevocably entered politics
everywhere!

What business congress has to ask for my caste through census when it
cannot reveal identity of its leader.We have many closet christians in
India with Hindu names in public life.The whole problem is judiciary
should have guts to stops caste based census put forward by congress
before telling Indian public that we don’t have right to know the
religious leanings of its leader.Does judiciary want RTI to work
selectively.It does not harm sonia gandhi if she tells that to public.
I came to know YSR( ex CM od andhra pradesh) was a christian,did it

religion.Judiciary should not have differnt yardsticks.

Carnival for cops during winter session
Soumittra S Bose
29 November 2010, 10:18 AM IST

Nagpur: Come winter every year and cops from all over Maharashtra
flock to the Orange city. Not to taste the juicy fruit for which the
city is famous but to ensure security of netas who come to attend the
winter session of state legislature held here.

The cops of different ranks are present in every nook and corner of
the city as a peace keeping agents. Forget orange, there would be
hardly any other colour visible in the city during the next fortnight
apart from Khaki. City police chief Ankush Dhanvijay, like Indian
cricket captain Mahindra Singh Dhoni, would be busy in setting the
field to plug the security breaches.

The roads would be blocked, traffic diverted, morchas would create
snarls and so on. While the police would be left jostling with the
crowd outside, the ruling and opposition parties would wrestle on the
floors of legislative houses. As tempers of commoners soar over the
restrictions, the cops would try to explain the vagaries of Naxalism
and terrorism to crowd. For the people though, the only issue would be
to get to their destination in shortest possible time.

While local cops know how to deal belligerent citizens, the personnel
from elsewhere are generally left wondering about the frayed tempers
of people here. “Is it the high summer temperature or Saoji food?”
remained a common question of the cops from other districts coming
here for the assembly duty over the years.

“I wonder how fast the women can drive their two-wheeler here and that
too covering their entire face. This is something to experience with
awe. In fact, the women here ride faster than some of the police
commandos” said a cop from another city who was here last year. Cops
who have had past experience know it is best to avoid arguing with a
Nagpurian. They look the other way as the disobedient citizens brazen
it out. They know creating a fracas would invite the media in no time.
Small political fry too would jump in for instant publicity and until
the incident is blown out of all proportions with original issue
getting lost in chaos.

Last year, a netaji had picked up a quarrel with a woman constable and
her sister at the entrance of Hyderabad House during the session. He
was berated in the media as the information spread like a forest fire.

Barring a few stressed out hearts, for most cops Nagpur presents an
interesting tour of duty. While the mature ones simply wait for the
sojourn to end, the younger ones generally take it as an opportunity
for a free Nagpur darshan without much effort. With mobile phones
stuck to their ears, some of them seem to enjoy the salubrious winter
weather of Nagpur in December casually taking a stroll.

“I heard Tibetans put up their stalls selling winter garments at cheap
prices here. Can you tell me where I can find them,” a constable had
queried last year when asked about his experience of session duty.
Getting up early and being ferried to their duty spot in rickety buses
or open trucks may leave them jaded, but they soon get acclimatised
and start enjoying the bumpy ride.

Saluting tainted netas may leave many gnashing their teeth, the cops
still enjoy their free evenings away from stress of police stations
where they would have otherwise been kept engaged. Sleeping in make-
shift tents may not be easy for them, but the city’s lush greenery
certainly soothes their souls away from home.

When the killer gets killed
Soumittra S Bose
01 November 2010, 08:32 AM IST

In Bollywood flicks, villains mostly are beaten to pulp as the movie
draws to an end. Reality often follows a different script. However,
even in real-life, sometimes villains slip into the very grave they
had dug for their victims.

In movies, victim who kills the villains draws applause. In real life,
the potential victim who kills his attacker is whisked away in
handcuffs by the cops. He is a murderer and cools his heels behind
bars. The so-called goon at times gets overpowered by the unexpected
counter-challenge of the minnow target. At other times, things go
wrong on its own like when a bomb going off before it could kept at
its target. Whatever the case, there are many Davids in the city who
have killed the Goliaths.

The latest murder of Sunil Latkar, alias Lalla, last week is one such
example. Latkar had a dominating presence in Bhuteshwar Nagar with two
cases against him. In the past, he had been hauled up for thrashing
others. His illicit relationship with a married woman pitted him
against woman’s brother Jagdish Pise, who opposed the sinful alliance.
Pise was no match to Latkar. In fact, he consciously tried to avoid
Latkar’s wrath.

Latkar would often intimidate Pise and probably planned a serious
attack on him. Last week he went to Pise’s residence with a sword. The
end was dramatic with Latkar himself lying in pool of blood when Pise
managed to snatch the sword and hit back with same weapon. Pise even
took Latkar’s sword to the police station as he surrendered.

Last year, assailants had a bitter lesson to learn when they were
heading on a bike to Lalganj in Lakadganj to kill a man on whom they
had accepted a ‘supari’. The assailants wanted to hurl a crude bomb on
the victim to eliminate him while he would be sleeping outside his
residence on a hot summer night. The plan turned out to be a disaster
for the killers who landed in hospital after bomb they were carrying
in the dickey went off when their two-wheeler jumped over a pothole
near Raj Bhavan.

In August, hardcore goon Pappu Deshbhratar faced the same fate in his
attempt to harass two brothers at Jai Bheem Chowk. Deshbhratar had
been just released from jail. One of the victim brothers had even gone
to Deshbhratar’s place to seek forgiveness for any wrong that had been
done by him. Deshbhratar ticked him off bragging about his influence
in the locality.

The brothers, sensing trouble, laid a trap for Deshbhratar and
eliminated him when he was returning from Nandanvan police station
after his routine reporting there. What the Shaikh brothers could not
be thought of even by many rivals of Deshbhratar’s.

Two such incidents took place in July 2008 under Jaripatka police
station. Murder accused Chinna Naidu was killed by cousins whom the
goon regularly harassed for money and liquor. Naidu was filthily
abusing the wife and mother of the cousins who took a stone and
crashed it on the skull of Naidu at old Punjabi Line. Earlier, four
youths eliminated a goon and murder accused Prashant Ramteke at
Barakholi. Ramteke was harassing one of them after his release from
the jail. The youths were also attacked by Ramteke. During a skirmish,
the youths snatched the sword from Ramteke and brought his end.

I have to agree with Mr. Sachetak on this post (while not agreeing
with the language) that while this post has entertainment value, it
seems to lack an opinion. More importantly, what measures would you
suggest for the potential victim, were he to kill his assailant. While
we sympathise with the victim, do we let him bypass due process? why
cannot the victim prove self-defence in such cases? Also,
@Mr.Sachetak, it would be to everyone’s beenfit, if you refrained from
reading, further posts in this coloumn.

I should try to find that post. It is priceless.
In response to your Indians having too much sex, I referred to
revolution in Christianity and referred you to a book by Erikson.
There was something else too I wrote in context of child benefits in

I think it is more important to find that post you authored about you

India

Religious practices outlawed under Wm. Bentinck, r.1828-35

Suttee (Sati) (from time immemorial to 1829)
Sakuntala Narasimhan, Sati: widow burning in India
7941 widows burned alive in the Bengal Presidency, 1815-28
According to Rammohun Roy, almost ten times more incidents in
Bengal than elsewhere

ANALYSIS: This indicates that there were some 8735 (=1.1 x 7941) satis
in all of India in 14 years, or around 62,400 in a century. Naturally,
this should be adjusted for population changes, shifting religious
traditions, etc., but it does point to a century total numbered
in the tens of thousands rather than the hundreds of thousands or
mere thousands.


Thuggee (Thagi) (13th C. to ca. 1838)
13 Oct. 2001 Toronto Star: 1M people strangled. (Points out that some
modern scholars doubt the full, legendary extent of the cult, perhaps
even its existence. This debate has quashed the publication of a new
book, The Wayfarers: Human Sacrifice Throughout Time And Around The
World by Daniel Wood, which is too bad because you can never have too
many children's books about human sacrifice.)

6 Jan. 2001 Birmingham Post: Worst known serial killer in history was
Indian Thug Behram, who strangled at least 931 victims in the Uttar
Pradesh district of India 1790-1840
Kevin Rushby (Children of Kali: Through India in Search of Bandits,
the Thug Cult and the British Raj (2002)) considers the Thugs a myth.
14 May 2005 Daily Telegraph (London) review of Thug: the True Story of
India's Murderous Cult by Mike Dash: "James [Sleeman] calculated that
Thugs had killed 50,000 people a year for up to 700 years, [but] Dash
arrives at a more reasonable figure of perhaps 50,000 victims in total."

Michael Newton, Holy Homicide (1998)
British authorities est. 40,000 Thug-related homicides in 1812 alone.
4,500 Thugs convicted, and 110 executed, 1830-48
George Bruce, The Stranglers: The cult of Thuggee and its overthrow in
British India (1968)
40,000 travellers died in India in 1812, "as indeed they had done every
year that records had been kept."

Estimated 4-5,000 Thugs in India, early 19thC
Individual tallies
Thug Rumzam: 604 killings in 21 years
He led gangs of 30-40, and saw 80-90 murders/year
Thug Buhram: 931 killings in 40 years
One gang of 125 in 3 months of 1831 murdered 108 victims.
Another gang of 60 in 8 months of 1831 murdered 201 victims.
unnamed gang of 50 members in Jubbulpore Dist.
Thug Feringeea spent some time with one gang of 100, another gang of 150.

In one grove, randomly selected as a campsite by Capt. Sleeman, the
Brits found 17 bodies from 3 different attacks.
Not-quite-scholarly sources:
Movie reviews for The Deceivers
3 Oct. 1988 Toronto Star: 2M murders
2 Sept. 1988 Bergen Record: 2M
Wm Saffire, "On Language", NYT 23 May 1999: œM+

ANALYSIS
The simplest way of estimating total Thug killings is to multiply the only
fairly complete, well-documented number (40,000/yr in 1812) by the 600
years of activity = 24 million, which leaves most people shaking their
heads in disbelief. Twenty-four million based on a single statistic?
That can't be right, can it?

So, then, most people drop the idea of attaching a number, and just declare
that the Thugs killed "millions". Later estimates then translate "millions"
conservatively: "over a million", "two million or more", like that.

Another approach would be to take Bruce's estimate that, on average, each
Thug went on ten hunting expeditions during his lifetime and participated
in ten attacks on each expedition. That makes an average of 100 murders per
Thug. The approximately 4,500 Thugs at work in the early 19th C. would then
be responsible for 450,000 murders all told. With each generation of Thugs
having a productive life of about 33 years (ages 17-50), that means that
each century would see 3 generations (1,350,000 murders/century). In 600
years, that would come to 8.1 million.

An even more complicated calculation would be to figure the average
number of killings per year per Thug

Well, we only have 2 specific lifetime totals -- Rumzam @ ca. 30/yr and
Behram @ ca. 20/yr -- and these are the extrordinary cases.
Of the three gangs whose statistics are given
201/60/0.67=5 murders per year per Thug
108/125/0.25=3.5 murders per year per Thug
Rumzam's gang: 2-3 murders per year per Thug
@ 2 to 5 murders per-year-per-Thug and 4-5,000 Thugs, we get 0.8M to 2.5M
killings per century. Picking the mid-factors (3.5 x 4500) we get 1,575,000
in a century, or 9.45M in 600 years.
Or, instead, we could approach this from a per-gang average ...
The mean size of the gangs listed (or implied) here is about 80.
Average number of gangs at work: 4500 Thugs divided into gangs of 80 = 55
gangs ±

The mean number of murders per gang per year is about 275. That comes
to 15,125 Thug murders per year, or 9,075,000 in six centuries.
CONCLUSIONS

My various calculations come to 24.0M or 9.5M or 9.1M or 8.1M Thug murders
in 600 years, so nine million is a possibilty. But then so is Dash's 50,000,
so who knows?

Oh, on the contrary. I learned many things from sci. Including good-smart

like Mallu (except his hot buttons), good-smart guy like Rajah who is
knowledgeable, fair, and articulate (unlike you), and even Ranjit Mathews
who is also articulate-smart guys, and I think moderate and fair (no or
very little anti-American snot, like you). Many others also who I don't
know if Indian (eg. "Hari.kumar" who is also smart-knowledgeable-fair guy
who fights jDoc bullshit). Etc.

If it were not for Arindam, I would not have read two books, by Indians,
on ancient & medieval warfare in India, basically same story as other
history of India by non-Indians.

India's 3,000 years of caste discrimination, wars, Thuggee ritual murder,
Sati burning of Indian widows after husband dies, infanticide, child slave
labor, "honor killing," "accidental" kitchen fires to get rid of wife if
there is a dowry dispute, and the eastern 1/4 of the country under
Naxalite/Maoist control.
I have asked one question above.
Arindam told you otherwise about your rant of "the eastern 1/4 of the
country under  Naxalite/Maoist control", but you want  to follow CIA
agenda.

Who didn't know how to defend themselves, like poor victims of sati,
thugee, and 3,000 years of wars in India, poor victims of infanticide in
India, etc.
There were cases of Satis that was like that Buddhist Monk in Vietnam
How many was that? Why didn't you give better citation for hari-kari in

Most of them. Particularly when Muslim hordes attacked.

Thuggee

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation <#column-one>, search <#searchInput>

*Thuggee* (or *tuggee*, *à€ à€~Wà¥~Mà€~Wà¥~@* /á¹­hagÄ«/) (from Hindi </wiki/Hindi> à€ à€~W
/á¹­hag/ â~@~Xthiefâ~@~Y, from Sanskrit </wiki/Sanskrit> à€žà¥~Mà€¥à€~W /sthaga/ â~@~Xcunningâ~@~Y,
â~@~Xslyâ~@~Y, â~@~Xfraudulentâ~@~Y, â~@~Xdishonestâ~@~Y, â~@~Xscoundrelâ~@~Y, from
à€žà¥~Mà€¥à€~Wà€€à€¿ /sthagati/ â~@~Xhe
concealsâ~@~Y)^[1] <#cite_note-0> is the term for a particular kind of
murder and robbery of travellers in India </wiki/History_of_India>.

The English word "thug <http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/thug>" is a
truncation of 'thuggee'. It is one of many Indian words borrowed into
English during the British colonial period. The English connotation of
'thug' is synonymous with terms like hoodlum
<http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hoodlum> and hooligan </wiki/Hooligan>,
indicating a person (who may or may not be anti-social) who harasses
others, usually for hire. People regarded as thugs might commit assault
(or 'menace'), battery, even robbery and grievous bodily harm, but they
usually stop short of murder. Additionally, "thugs" usually travel in
pairs, though they /can/ work alone or in groups of four to six members,
and are typically open about their presence (except to law enforcement
officials); while "Thugg/ee/" were covert and operated as members of a
group, often called a "Thuggee cult" by the British. Hence, the word
"Thuggee" is capitalised while the word "thug" usually is not; which
enables distinction of a "Thug" (here, a short form of "Thuggee") from a
"thug".

In the heyday of Thuggee activity, travellers were typically part of a
travelling group </wiki/Caravan_(travellers)>, so the term Thuggee
typically referred to killing of a large number of people in a single
operation. This aspect distinguishes Thuggee from similar concept of
Dacoity </wiki/Dacoity>, which means simple armed robbery.

Dacoity has similarities with the terms brigand </wiki/Outlaw> and
bandit </wiki/Bandit> from European and Latin American experience, but
there appear to be no exact Western parallels for Thuggee. Perhaps the
closest concepts would be the format of piracy </wiki/Piracy>, though
this is solely maritime </wiki/Sea> robbery (usually with murder), and
the earlier, but similar, format of raids on coastal settlements by
Viking </wiki/Viking> seafarers. Some aspects, however, are reminiscent
of the Mafia </wiki/Mafia> group of organisations.

Between them, these classes of criminal activity illustrate some of the
mystique </wiki/Mystique_(personality_trait)> that attached to the Thugs
and the complex mixture of fear and dread of these murderous Alpha
predators </wiki/Alpha_predator> that was felt by the ordinary people
who might well be their potential victims.

There is some question as to the extent of the religious dimension of
Thuggee. Most contemporary sources described Thuggee as being a
religious cult </wiki/Cult>, but some modern sources feel it was merely
a specialised form of organised crime </wiki/Organised_crime> or
paramilitary </wiki/Paramilitary> activity, with no particular religious
dimension beyond the normal piety </wiki/Piety> of the villagers from
whom its members were recruited.


[edit </w/index.php?title=Thuggee&action=edit&section=2>] Time period

The concept of Thuggee is known from the 17th century, though the term
and/or activity possibly dates back as early as the 13th century.
Thuggee was actively practiced at least through the end of the 19th
century. If remnants of the Thuggee tradition survived into the 20th and
21st centuries, they did so very covertly. The film /Indiana Jones and
the Temple of Doom </wiki/Indiana_Jones_and_the_Temple_of_Doom>/ is
based on the premise that Thuggee cults survived covertly into the early
20th century.

Stern suppression by the British was important in reducing Thugee
activity but more significant was the introduction of modern methods of
travel, in particular the displacement of travelling on foot or by horse
in groups by the railway, which effectively rendered Thuggee obsolete.


[edit </w/index.php?title=Thuggee&action=edit&section=3>] The nature

The particular groups, as well as the general concept, were often
equally durable and would outlive the 'careers' of individual members to
develop into a crime family </wiki/Crime_family> lasting generations.
These groups progressed from being simple gangs into becoming
'fraternities' or even 'cults', featuring the initiation
</wiki/Initiation> of new members, either through the heredity
</wiki/Heredity> of a criminal underclass, or through an apprenticeship
</wiki/Apprenticeship>, such as normally associated with skilled or
learned professions </wiki/Professions> or the training programs of
elite </wiki/Elite> military units. Other sources describe the Thugs as
a criminal 'tribe </wiki/Tribe>' or caste </wiki/Caste>. Over the course
of generations, the secrets must be kept within the 'family'. The
marriage of offspring within the group both safeguards the secret
knowledge, allowing it to be imparted steadily to the children without
the risk of uninitiated neighbours overhearing, and reinforces the
exclusive and selective nature of the organisation. This preserves the
mystique, which is in itself part of the formula of success, and creates
an elite aura around it. At the moment of attack, the sudden revelation
of the identity of the assailants produces a shock
</wiki/Acute_stress_reaction> that disables potential defensive
manoeuvres, at least for a few, vital moments, while the reputation for
invincibility <http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/invincibility> engenders a
defeatism </wiki/Defeatism> that results in a fait accompli
</wiki/Fait_accompli>.


[edit </w/index.php?title=Thuggee&action=edit&section=4>] The practice

</wiki/File:India1765and1805b.jpg>
</wiki/File:India1765and1805b.jpg>
Thugs were active all over the Bengal </wiki/Bengal> region of the
Indian subcontinent </wiki/Indian_subcontinent>. Maps showing the
possessions of the British East India Company
</wiki/British_East_India_Company> in 1765 and 1805

Thuggee is described as a cult of people engaged in the multiple murder
</wiki/Murder> and robbery </wiki/Robbery> of travellers. At the time,
most travellers in India would travel in caravan
</wiki/Caravan_(travellers)> for mutual support and security, since
travel meant the crossing of difficult terrain before the coming of
metalled </wiki/Metalled> roads, the passing among different races,
religions and castes, at a period before police </wiki/Police> forces
were formed. In order to attempt the massacre
<http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/massacre> of an entire caravan, the Thugs
needed to be numerous and well-coordinated. They also needed to be
sufficiently stealthy, at least in the early stages, to begin their
slaughter without rousing all at once. This required a high degree of
planning, organisation â~@~S including props </wiki/Theatrical_property> and
patter </wiki/Patter> â~@~S timing, teamwork and discipline. With anything
less than complete success a survivor could escape to raise a hue and
cry </wiki/Hue_and_cry>. These horrendous but sophisticated operations
lay somewhere between organised crime </wiki/Organised_crime> and
paramilitary </wiki/Paramilitary> activity and were far removed from the
ordinary criminal </wiki/Criminal> in the audacity, magnitude, and
ruthlessness of the enterprise.

The /modus operandi </wiki/Modus_operandi>/ was to join a caravan and
become accepted as bona fide travellers themselves. The Thugs would need
to delay any attack until their fellow travellers had dropped the
initial wariness of the newcomers and had been lulled into a false sense
of security. The Thugs first needed to befriend the travellers and win
their trust </wiki/Trust_(social_sciences)>. Once the travellers had
allowed the Thugs to join them and disperse amongst them (a task which
might sometimes, depending on the size of the target group, require
accompaniment for hundreds of miles), the Thugs would wait for a
suitable place and time before killing and robbing them.

There were obviously variations on a theme. When tackling a large group,
a Thuggee band might disperse along a route and join a group in stages,
concealing their acquaintanceship, such that they could come to
outnumber their intended victims by small, non-threatening increments.
If the travellers had doubts about any one party, they might confide
their worries to another party of the same Thuggee band. The trusted
band would thus be the best placed to deal with these members of the
caravan at the appropriate time, but might also be able to advise their
colleagues to 'back off' or otherwise modify their behaviour, to allay
suspicion.

The killing place would need to be remote from local observers and
suitable to prevent escape (/e.g.,/ backed against a river). Thugs
tended to develop favoured places of execution, called /beles/. They
knew the geography of these places wellâ~@~Tbetter than their victims. They
needed to, if they were to anticipate the likely escape routes and
hiding-places of the quicker-witted and more determined of the travellers.

The timing might be at night or during a rest-break, when the travellers
would be busy with chores and when the background cries and noise would
mask any sounds of alarm. A quick and quiet method, which left no stains
and required no special weapons, was strangulation
</wiki/Strangulation>. This method is particularly associated with
Thuggee and led to the Thugs also being referred to as the /Phansigars/,
or "noose-operators", and simply as "stranglers" by British troops.
Usually two or three Thugs would strangle one traveller. The Thugs would
then need to dispose of the bodies: they might bury them or might throw
them into a nearby well. ^[2] <#cite_note-mikedash-1> .

The leader of a gang was called the 'jemadar </wiki/Jemadar>': this is
an ordinary Indian word and is now used as the rank of an Army officer
(Lieutenant), who would command a similar number of men to a Thuggee
gang-leader. An English equivalent term might be 'the Boss' or 'the
Guv'nor' (Governor).

As with modern criminal gangs, each member of the group had his own
function: the equivalent of the 'hitman,' 'the lookout,' and the
'getaway driver' would be those Thugs tasked with luring travellers with
charming words or acting as guardian to prevent escape of victims while
the killing took place.

They usually killed their victims in darkness while the thugs made music
</wiki/Music> or noise </wiki/Noise> to escape discovery. If burying
bodies close to a well-travelled trade-route, they would need to
disguise the 'earthworks' of their graveyard as a camp-site, tamping
down the covering mounds and leaving some items of rubbish or remnants
of a fire to 'explain' the disturbances and obscure the burials.

One reason given for the Thuggee success in avoiding detection and
capture so often and over such long periods of time is a self-discipline
and restraint in avoiding groups of travelers on shorter journeys, even
if they seemed laden with suitable plunder </wiki/Plunder>. Choosing
only travelers far from home gave more time until the alarm was raised
and the distance made it less likely that colleagues would follow on to
investigate the disappearances. Another reason given is the high degree
of teamwork and co-ordination both during the infiltration phase and at
the moment of attack. This was a sophisticated criminal elite that knew
its business well and approached each 'operation' like a military mission.


[edit </w/index.php?title=Thuggee&action=edit&section=5>] Use of garotte

The garotte </wiki/Garotte> is often depicted as the common weapon of
the Thugee. It is sometimes described as a rumal </wiki/Rumal> (head
covering or kerchief), or translated as "yellow scarf." "Yellow" in this
case may refer to a natural cream or khaki colour rather than bright
yellow. Most Indian males in Central India or Hindustan
</wiki/Hindustan> would have a puggaree </wiki/Puggaree> or head-scarf,
worn either as a turban </wiki/Turban> or worn around a kullah
</w/index.php?title=Kullah&action=edit&redlink=1> and draped to protect
the back of the neck. Types of scarves were also worn as cummerbunds, in
place of a belt. Any of these items could potentially have served as
strangling ligatures.


[edit </w/index.php?title=Thuggee&action=edit&section=6>] Religion
and Thuggee

Thuggee groups might be Hindu </wiki/Hindu>, Sikh </wiki/Sikh> or Muslim
</wiki/Muslim>, but Thuggee is particularly associated with followers of
the Hindu Goddess Kali </wiki/Kali> (or Durga </wiki/Durga>), whom they
often called /Bhowanee/.^[3] <#cite_note-2> ^[4] <#cite_note-3> ^[5]
<#cite_note-4>

Some sources view the Thugs as a cult </wiki/Cult> or sect. Given the
extent of the problem, in geographical scale and in the duration of
time, it is likely that many groups would wish to keep their secrets
from betrayal from within and from intrusion by outsiders and would have
evolved into secret criminal fraternities. It also follows that if they
were repeatedly successful, then they must have 'divine blessing' and
would wish to give thanks to, and worship, the deity to whom they
ascribed their support. Even in the West, criminality and religious
observance are not always mutually incompatible.

Whether all Thugs could be ascribed to a single, universal cult of
'Thuggee' seems unlikely. The concept of Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims, or
any pairing of these, acting in concert, yet part of a religious order,
seems far-fetched. So does the concept of observant Moslems worshipping
Kali. Nevertheless, it does seem plausible that several might constitute
themselves as religious, or quasi-religious, orders. In the West, the
Order of Knights Templar </wiki/Knights_Templar> combined a military
purpose with a religious form, and most other Orders of Knights had a
religious dimension, whilst in India, the Sikh </wiki/Sikh> Khalsa
</wiki/Khalsa> movement has a similar military and religious
tone.^[/citation needed </wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed>/]


[edit </w/index.php?title=Thuggee&action=edit&section=7>] Origin and
recruitment

</wiki/File:Group_of_Thugs.gif>
</wiki/File:Group_of_Thugs.gif>
A group of thugs, ca. 1863

The earliest recorded mention of the Thugs as a special band or
fraternity, rather than as ordinary thieves, is found in the following
passage of Ziau-d din Barni's /History of Firoz Shah/ (written about 1356):

In the reign of that sultan /(about 1290)/, some Thugs were taken in
Delhi, and a man belonging to that fraternity was the means of about
a thousand being captured. But not one of these did the sultan have
killed. He gave orders for them to be put into boats and to be
conveyed into the lower country, to the neighbourhood of Lakhnauti
</wiki/Lakhnauti>, where they were to be set free. The Thugs would
thus have to dwell about Lakhnauti and would not trouble the
neighbourhood of Delhi any more." (Sir HM Elliot's /History of
India/, iii. 141).

Induction was sometimes passed from father to son, in what would now be
termed a criminal underclass
</w/index.php?title=Criminal_underclass&action=edit&redlink=1>. The
leaders of long-established Thug groups tended to come from these
hereditary lines, as the gang developed into a criminal 'tribe
</wiki/Tribe>'. Other men would get to know of a Thug band and would
hope to be recruited, in the way that one might aspire to join an elite
regiment or university: they were the best operators in the business
and, like a regiment or college fraternity, once in the group, there was
the camaraderie of numbers and shared experience. The robbery became
less a question of solving problems poverty and more a profession, like
a soldier. Sometimes the young children of the travellers would be
spared and groomed to become Thugs themselves. The presence of children
on a mission would help allay suspicion. A fourth way of becoming a Thug
was by training with a guru </wiki/Guru>. This was like an
apprenticeship for a guild or profession, during which the candidate
could be assessed for reliability, courage, discretion and discipline.
^[2] <#cite_note-mikedash-1>


[edit </w/index.php?title=Thuggee&action=edit&section=8>] The
magnitude of the problem

Estimates of the total number of victims depend heavily on the estimated
length of existence of the Thugs for which there are no reliable
sources. According to the /Guinness Book of Records
</wiki/Guinness_Book_of_Records>/ the Thuggee cult was responsible for
approximately 2,000,000 deaths. The British historian Dr. Mike Dash
</wiki/Mike_Dash> estimated that they killed 50,000 persons in total,
based on his assumption that they only started to exist 150 years before
their eradication in the 1830s.

Yearly figures for the early 19th century are better documented, but
even they are inaccurate estimates. For example, gang leader Behram
</wiki/Thug_Behram> has often been considered to be the world's most
prolific serial killer </wiki/Serial_killer> with 931 killings between
1790 and 1830 attributed to him. Reference to contemporary manuscript
sources, however, shows that Behram actually gave inconsistent
statements regarding the number of murders he had committed, and that
while he did state that he had "been present at" 931 killings committed
by his gang of 25 to 50 men, elsewhere he admitted that he had
personally strangled around 125 people. Having turned King's Evidence
</wiki/King%27s_Evidence> and agreed to inform on his former companions,
furthermore, Behram never stood trial for any of the killings attributed
to him, the total of which must thus remain a matter of dispute.^[6]
<#cite_note-5>


[edit </w/index.php?title=Thuggee&action=edit&section=9>] Suppression

The Thuggee cult was suppressed by the British rulers of India
</wiki/British_rule_in_India> in the 1830s,^[2] <#cite_note-mikedash-1>
The arrival of the British and their development of a methodology
</wiki/Methodology> to tackle crime </wiki/Crime> meant the techniques
of the Thugs had met their match. Suddenly, the mysterious
disappearances were mysteries no longer and it became clear how even
large caravans could be infiltrated by apparently small groups, that
were in fact acting in concert. Once the techniques were known to all
travellers, the element of surprise was gone and the attacks became
botched, until the hunters became the hunted.

</wiki/File:William-Henry-Sleeman.jpg>
</wiki/File:William-Henry-Sleeman.jpg>
Civil servant William Henry Sleeman </wiki/William_Henry_Sleeman>,
superintendent, 'Thuggee and Dacoity Dept.' in 1835, and later its
Commissioner in 1839.

Reasons for British success included:

* the dissemination of reports regarding Thuggee developments across
territorial borders, so that each administrator was made aware of
new techniques as soon as they were put in practice, so that
travellers could be warned and advised on possible counter-measures.
* the use of King's evidence </wiki/King%27s_evidence> programmes
gave an incentive for gang members to inform on their peers to
save their own life. This undermined the code of silence that
protected members.
* at a time when, even in Britain, policing was in its infancy, the
British set up a dedicated police </wiki/Police> force, the
Thuggee Department, and special tribunals </wiki/Tribunals> that
prevented local influence from affecting criminal proceedings.
* the police force applied the new detective </wiki/Detective>
methodologies to record the locations of attacks, the time of day
or circumstances of the attack, the size of group, the approach to
the victims and the behaviours after the attacks. In this way, a
single informant </wiki/Informant>, belonging to one gang in one
region, might yield details that would be applicable to most, or
all, gangs in a region or indeed across all India.

The initiative or suppression was due largely to the efforts of the
civil servant William Sleeman </wiki/William_Sleeman>, who started an
extensive campaign involving profiling </wiki/Offender_profiling> and
intelligence </wiki/Intelligence>. A police organisation known as the
'Thuggee and Dacoity </wiki/Dacoity> Department' was established within
the Government of India, with William Sleeman </wiki/William_Sleeman>
appointed Superintendent of the department in 1835. Thousands of men
were either put in prison, executed, or expelled from British India.^[2]
<#cite_note-mikedash-1> The campaign was heavily based on informants
recruited from captured thugs who were offered protection on the
condition that they told everything that they knew. By the 1870s, the
Thug cult was extinct, but it led to the promulgation of the Criminal
Tribes Act of 1871 </wiki/Criminal_Tribes_Act>, though it was repealed
</wiki/Repeal> upon independence of India </wiki/Independence_of_India>,
the concept of 'criminal tribes' and 'criminal castes' is still
prevalent in India.^[7] <#cite_note-6> ^[8] <#cite_note-7> . The
Department remained in existence until 1904, when it was replaced by the
Central Criminal Intelligence Department (CID).


[edit </w/index.php?title=Thuggee&action=edit&section=10>] Possible
misinterpretation by the British and scepticism about the existence

In her book /The Strangled Traveler: Colonial Imaginings and the Thugs
of India/ (2002), Martine van Woerkens suggests that evidence for the
existence of a Thuggee /cult/ in the 19th century was in part the
product of "colonial imaginings" â~@~T British fear of the little-known
interior of India and limited understanding of the religious and social
practices of its inhabitants. For a comparison, see Juggernaut
</wiki/Juggernaut> and the Black Hole of Calcutta
</wiki/Black_Hole_of_Calcutta>.

Krishna Dutta, while reviewing the book /Thug: the true story of India's
murderous cult/ by the British historian Dr. Mike Dash </wiki/Mike_Dash>
in /The Independent </wiki/The_Independent>/, argues:^[9] <#cite_note-8>

"In recent years, the revisionist view that thugee was a British
invention, a means to tighten their hold in the country, has been
given credence in India, France and the US, but this well-researched
book objectively questions that assertion."

In his book, Dash rejects scepticism about the existence of a secret
network of groups with a /modus operandi/ that was different from
highwaymen </wiki/Highwayman>, such as dacoits </wiki/Dacoit>. To prove
his point Dash refers to the excavated corpses in graves, of which the
hidden locations were revealed to Sleeman's team by thug informants. In
addition, Dash treats the extensive and thorough documentation that
Sleeman made. Dash rejects the colonial emphasis on the religious
motivation for robbing, but instead asserts that monetary gain was the
main motivation for Thuggee and that men sometimes became thugs due to
extreme poverty. He further asserts that the Thugs were highly
superstitious and that they worshipped the Hindu goddess Kali
</wiki/Kali>, but that their faith </wiki/Faith> was not very different
from their contemporary non-thugs. He admits, though, that the thugs had
certain group-specific superstitions and rituals.

[edit </w/index.php?title=Thuggee&action=edit&section=13>] In film

* The two most popular depictions of the cult in film </wiki/Film>
are the 1939 film, /Gunga Din </wiki/Gunga_Din_(film)>/, and the
1984 film, /Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
</wiki/Indiana_Jones_and_the_Temple_of_Doom>/. The Indiana Jones
</wiki/Indiana_Jones> movie is notable for Amrish Puri
</wiki/Amrish_Puri>'s villain, who is shown chanting lines such as
"maaro maaro sooar ko, chamdi nocho pee lo khoon" - literally
"Kill, Kill the pig, flay his skin, drink his blood". /Temple of
Doom/ was temporarily banned in India for an allegedly racist
portrayal of Indians. Both films have the heroes fighting secret
revivals of the cult to prevent them from resuming their reigns of
terror, although /Temple of Doom/ included features that were
never part of the Thuggee, such as cardiectomy </wiki/Cardiectomy>.
* In the 1956 film /Around the World in Eighty Days
</wiki/Around_the_World_in_Eighty_Days_(1956_film)>, starring
David Niven </wiki/David_Niven>,/ Passepartout rescues a princess
captured by the Thugee and sentenced to burn to death in the
funeral pyre with her deceased husband. (In the original Jules
Verne </wiki/Jules_Verne> novel
</wiki/Around_the_World_in_Eighty_Days_(book)>, Thuggee are
mentioned only briefly, and not directly in connection with this
princess.)^[10] <#cite_note-9>
* In 1960 British horror studio Hammer Film Productions
</wiki/Hammer_Film_Productions> released /The Stranglers of
Bombay/. In the film, Guy Rolfe </wiki/Guy_Rolfe> portrays an
heroic British officer battling institutional mismanagement by the
British East India Company </wiki/British_East_India_Company>, as
well as Thuggee infiltration of Indian Society, in an attempt to
bring the cultists to justice.
* The 1968 Bollywood </wiki/Bollywood> film /Sangharsh
</wiki/Sunghursh_(1968_film)>/, based on a story by Jnanpith Award
</wiki/Jnanpith_Award> winner, Mahasweta Devi
</wiki/Mahasweta_Devi>, presented a fictionalised account of
vendetta within a Thuggee cult in the holy Indian town of Varanasi
</wiki/Varanasi>.
* The 1988 </wiki/1988_in_film> film version of /The Deceivers
</wiki/The_Deceivers>/, produced by Ismail Merchant
</wiki/Ismail_Merchant> and starring Pierce Brosnan
</wiki/Pierce_Brosnan>, is a fictionalised account of the initial
discovery and infiltration of the Thuggee sect by an imperial
British administrator.
* The 1954 film "I Misteri della Giungla Nera" directed by Gian
Paolo Callegari and starring Lex Barker, where a group of
religious fanatics in India, the Thugs, prey upon European and
natives alike by capturing and offering them up in sacrifice to
their frightful goddess, Kali (from imdb.) Adapted from Emilio
Salgari </wiki/Emilio_Salgari>'s book by the same name.

* In an episode of /Highlander: The Series
</wiki/Highlander:_The_Series>/, "The Wrath of Kali
</wiki/Episodes_of_Highlander_(season_4)#The_Wrath_of_Kali>",
Duncan MacLeod </wiki/Duncan_MacLeod> deals with immortal Kamir
(played by Indian actor Kabir Bedi </wiki/Kabir_Bedi>), last of

* The fifth episode
</w/index.php?title=Clerks:_The_Animated_Series_episode_five&action=edit&redlink=1>
of the short-lived Clerks: The Animated Series
</wiki/Clerks_(animated_series)> featured a plot twist where the
Little League </wiki/Little_League> World Champions were kidnapped

Chapter 16
It was noted, even at the time, that only a very small minority of
the followers of Kali were Thuggees. Many Thuggees worshipped Kali
but most supporters of Kali did not practise Thuggee. Some Thuggee
groups claimed descent from seven Muslim </wiki/Muslim> tribes,
but the majority of Hindu </wiki/Hindu> followers only seem to be
related during the early periods of Islamic </wiki/Islam>
development through their religious creed and staunch worship of
Kali </wiki/Kali>, one of the Hindu Tantric </wiki/Tantra>
Goddesses. At a time of political unrest, with changes from Hindu
Rajput </wiki/Rajput> rulers to Moslem Moghul </wiki/Moghul>
emperors and viceroys, and possibly back again, a wise group would
display allegiance to both creeds, but its ultimate loyalty was
probably only to itself. "There seem to have been very few Sikh
Thugs. But Sahib Khan, the Deccan </wiki/Deccan> strangler, 'knew
Ram Sing Siek: he was a noted Thug leader - a very shrewd man,'
who also served with the Pindaris </wiki/Pindaris> for a while and
was responsible for the assassination of the notorious Pindari
leader Sheikh Dulloo.' Sleeman, /Ramaseeana/ I, 239-40."

India
Religious practices outlawed under Wm. Bentinck, r.1828-35
Suttee (Sati) (from time immemorial to 1829)
Sakuntala Narasimhan, Sati: widow burning in India
7941 widows burned alive in the Bengal Presidency, 1815-28
According to Rammohun Roy, almost ten times more incidents in
Bengal than elsewhere
ANALYSIS: This indicates that there were some 8735 (=1.1 x 7941) satis
in all of India in 14 years, or around 62,400 in a century. Naturally,
this should be adjusted for population changes, shifting religious
traditions, etc., but it does point to a century total numbered
in the tens of thousands rather than the hundreds of thousands or
mere thousands.
Thuggee (Thagi) (13th C. to ca. 1838)
13 Oct. 2001 Toronto Star: 1M people strangled. (Points out that some
modern scholars doubt the full, legendary extent of the cult, perhaps
even its existence. This debate has quashed the publication of a new
book, The Wayfarers: Human Sacrifice Throughout Time And Around The
World by Daniel Wood, which is too bad because you can never have too
many children's books about human sacrifice.)
6 Jan. 2001 Birmingham Post: Worst known serial killer in history was
Indian Thug Behram, who strangled at least 931 victims in the Uttar
Pradesh district of India 1790-1840
Kevin Rushby (Children of Kali: Through India in Search of Bandits,
the Thug Cult and the British Raj (2002)) considers the Thugs a myth.
14 May 2005 Daily Telegraph (London) review of Thug: the True Story of
India's Murderous Cult by Mike Dash: "James [Sleeman] calculated that
Thugs had killed 50,000 people a year for up to 700 years, [but] Dash
arrives at a more reasonable figure of perhaps 50,000 victims in total."
Michael Newton, Holy Homicide (1998)
British authorities est. 40,000 Thug-related homicides in 1812 alone.
4,500 Thugs convicted, and 110 executed, 1830-48
George Bruce, The Stranglers: The cult of Thuggee and its overthrow in
British India (1968)
40,000 travellers died in India in 1812, "as indeed they had done every
year that records had been kept."
Estimated 4-5,000 Thugs in India, early 19thC
Individual tallies
Thug Rumzam: 604 killings in 21 years
He led gangs of 30-40, and saw 80-90 murders/year
Thug Buhram: 931 killings in 40 years
One gang of 125 in 3 months of 1831 murdered 108 victims.
Another gang of 60 in 8 months of 1831 murdered 201 victims.
unnamed gang of 50 members in Jubbulpore Dist.
Thug Feringeea spent some time with one gang of 100, another gang of 150.
In one grove, randomly selected as a campsite by Capt. Sleeman, the
Brits found 17 bodies from 3 different attacks.
Movie reviews for The Deceivers
3 Oct. 1988 Toronto Star: 2M murders
2 Sept. 1988 Bergen Record: 2M
Wm Saffire, "On Language", NYT 23 May 1999: œM+
ANALYSIS
The simplest way of estimating total Thug killings is to multiply the only
fairly complete, well-documented number (40,000/yr in 1812) by the 600
years of activity = 24 million, which leaves most people shaking their
heads in disbelief. Twenty-four million based on a single statistic?
That can't be right, can it?
So, then, most people drop the idea of attaching a number, and just declare
that the Thugs killed "millions". Later estimates then translate "millions"
conservatively: "over a million", "two million or more", like that.
Another approach would be to take Bruce's estimate that, on average, each
Thug went on ten hunting expeditions during his lifetime and participated
in ten attacks on each expedition. That makes an average of 100 murders per
Thug. The approximately 4,500 Thugs at work in the early 19th C. would then
be responsible for 450,000 murders all told. With each generation of Thugs
having a productive life of about 33 years (ages 17-50), that means that
each century would see 3 generations (1,350,000 murders/century). In 600
years, that would come to 8.1 million.
An even more complicated calculation would be to figure the average
number of killings per year per Thug
Of the three gangs whose statistics are given
201/60/0.67=5 murders per year per Thug
108/125/0.25=3.5 murders per year per Thug
Rumzam's gang: 2-3 murders per year per Thug
@ 2 to 5 murders per-year-per-Thug and 4-5,000 Thugs, we get 0.8M to 2.5M
killings per century. Picking the mid-factors (3.5 x 4500) we get 1,575,000
in a century, or 9.45M in 600 years.
Or, instead, we could approach this from a per-gang average ...
The mean size of the gangs listed (or implied) here is about 80.
Average number of gangs at work: 4500 Thugs divided into gangs of 80 = 55
gangs ±
The mean number of murders per gang per year is about 275. That comes
to 15,125 Thug murders per year, or 9,075,000 in six centuries.
CONCLUSIONS
My various calculations come to 24.0M or 9.5M or 9.1M or 8.1M Thug murders
in 600 years, so nine million is a possibilty. But then so is Dash's 50,000,
so who knows?

How many natives of USA, Canada, Australia and the rest  invaded by
surplus European Christian whites killed themselves to make space for
the "superior" lot which still thinks they are superior?
Why don't you answer my question first about this...
India's 3,000 years of caste discrimination, wars, Thuggee ritual murder,
Sati burning of Indian widows after husband dies, infanticide, child slave
labor, "honor killing," "accidental" kitchen fires to get rid of wife if
there is a dowry dispute, and the eastern 1/4 of the country under
Naxalite/Maoist control.
I have asked one question above.

While in USA, Canada, Australia got inhabited by the surplus of whites
in Europe and they killed off the natives there.
Who didn't know how to defend themselves, like poor victims of sati,
thugee, and 3,000 years of wars in India, poor victims of infanticide in
India, etc.
There were cases of Satis that was like that Buddhist Monk in Vietnam
How many was that? Why didn't you give better citation for hari-kari in
Japan?
Most of them. Particularly when Muslim hordes attacked.
How about Mount Massad,
What is that?
I was telling you how is it that USA, Canada, Australia has less
desity of Population.
And, Hindu/Moslem ratio is 10 to 1 still after Muslim hordes?

Tell me what period you were told by historians you read of thugee?
I only posted below at least 10-20 times by now, you can't learn to copy
and paste to save on your computer, you have to ask me?
Again I ask, when was thugee practised? During the times of Ashoka,
around 265 BC ?
If you don't like the answers in the below website (courtesy of Mallu, by
the way), you can read wiki... here it is...for what it knows about
Thuggee....
Why are you scared of giving the period.

Had you put "The concept of Thuggee is known from the 17th century,
though the term and/or activity possibly dates back as early as the
13th century" and the link

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thuggee

instead all the crap pasted [which I delete ] would your scholarship

I don't think we have to resort to these kind of provocative subjects

BTW Art, last summer , during school vacation I enrolled my high
school
going son at http://www.rutgersprep.org/ for some preparation. Each
day
while dropping him I noticed that almost all students who were taking
prep class like him were immigrants, mostly Chinese and Indians.
'Real' Americans were so few. Why is that?
I can understand african-americans not much there since the school
was quite expensive and maybe poverty kept out AA from there. But
what is the reason for 'real' americans to not send their children to
such a school. Are they already brilliant in studies? Or they just
don't care as much as immigrants.

Waiting eagerly for your answer. I am sure it will be full of 'facts'.

So it could be running outside mainstream school hours.

it is a regular private school.

During school holidays in summer, they have this special prep
school for high school students from any school to prepare for
better SAT scores
and other things to enter into good colleges. Something like
our Brilliant and Aggarwal tutorials for IIT JEE.

They are expensive but the word of mouth publicity is that they
are good.

Americans are defective lifeforms.

Thanks Ranjit.

I might have answered P. Rajah trying to explain so many things that
givs me gut feeling that Capitalism is Christian.
Of course both Islam an Christianity will claim they are egalitarian
but because in both the high priests are above the rest and want to
remain above the rest they oppose Communism, not that Communism has
always produced totally egalitarian society, but I think Castro comes
close to being equal to the rest of the cubans.

Any way it feels good what I said simple mindedly has some scholarly
backing.

The book in the Wikipedia reference merely studies the Protestant
influence in the development of capitalism. It does not make capitalism
Christian, inasmuch as algebra is not "Islamic" or explosives are not
Confucian. Joshi will grasp at straws to validate his bigotry.

I agree.

However, religion should not be compared too closely with economic
systems. Indeed, I showed many quotes to Arindam from a book I read
"Economics as Religion", authored by economist Nelson, which was very very
enlightening for me concerning what was essentially the secularization of
economics, basically, over the last 50-100 years. You can forget reading
any basic textbook of economics, even economic history. Nelson had the
most amazing historical overview of the development of economics in recent
years and the relationship of economics with religion was
non-denominational! You'll get an overview of all schools of thought in
economics, the real story between the conflicts between Milton Friedman
and Pual Samuelson (both Nobel winners, by the way), and both coming from
very different backgrounds and assumptions. Nelson's title, however, was
not exactly written with the meaning I initially got from it. You'd have
to read it yourself someday. I'd put the book at or near the top of my
list of best books on economics to read.

Otherwise, Joshi can explain how all the Islamic countries selling oil are
not making any profits or have trade surpluses (and get data updates in
all the financial periodicals). And, since a lot of Hindus are surely
running buisinesses in India and elsewhere, what does Hinduism have to do
with capitalism?

That's like claiming that since western medicine evolved under
Christianity, modern medicine is "Christian medicine".

Capitalism might _use_ religion for its own goals, but Christianity has
had a proscription against usery since about the beginning, and if that
were strictly enforced, then Christianity would be taking away one of the
major components of capitalism.

The philosophy of the so-called Protestant Ethic needs to be compared with
the Catholic Ethic, which has been treated, previously, in other
speculative essays as being anti-Capitalist.

In America the early banking was started by jews, I think (have read
something to that effect).
In Europe Jews had nothing but their savings by living the way Indians
do except perhaps now Mittals and Ambanis have begun to show off.

And yet McCarthy-ism or Tea Party are not from Jews.
In other words killings in the name of eradicating communism was to
save the God of "In God We Trust".

In India the Vaishyas (sure Philosopher Sowers knows them having read
tons of Indian History and billions of Google hits) did not have the
stigma of Jews except for Muslims (West Pakistani ones) who started
call all Indians banias (=Vaishyas), but one thing sure. They have
always tried not to flaunt their wealth, some thing like Bill and
Melinda Gates.
Rans Pratap was bank rolled to fight against Akbar by Bhamashah
(=bhamasa)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhamashah
Before that we had Vastupal and Tejpal brothers who put up Mount Abu
and other Jain monuments.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Abu

Even as late as 19th Century the (Firm) bankrolled the kings of
Bhavnagar.

Apparently they have found place in a book

India’s New Capitalists
Caste, Business, and Industry in a
Modern Nation
Harish Damodaran
Foreword by
Nandan Nilekani

But that firm was in charge of accounts of Palitana Jain Temples.

Forming Swatantra Party perhaps can be attributed to the Banias, but
they were not in league with any hindu Church I believe to oppose
Nehru's socialism.

Jai Maharaj interviewed by Rediff about 'Eyes Wide Shut' [1999]
'Eyes Wide Shut': Plenty of Cyberspace Barks But Where Is the Bite?
By Aseem Chhabra in New York
Rediff On The Net
August 4, 1999 =A0
Almost ten years ago, while walking on Fifth Avenue in
the heart of New York City, I encountered one of the most
frightening scenes of my life: hundreds of South Asian
Muslims marching with placards and screaming slogans
'Kill Rushdie, Kill', 'Death to Rushdie'. There were men
in Western clothes and traditional salwars and kurtas,
and women in burqas. The most frightening thing was that
they all looked like me.
The impact of the global force of Muslim anger against
Salman Rushdie's book Satanic Verses, is well known.
There were bomb threats, book burnings, banning of the
book, killing of those associated with the book and most
important, ten years of a life in hiding for the Indian-
born writer.
In 1986, I saw a very different kind of protest. A
peaceful group of nuns, holding rosaries and placards
outside an art movie house in Beverly Hills, protesting
against Jean-Luc Godard's attempt to humanize the Virgin
Mary in Je Vous Salue, Marie (or Hail Mary). The film and
the controversy attracted some attention, but it died a
natural death, befitting a small French film that hardly
any American saw.
It is now the summer of 1999, and number of
fundamentalist (and plain, religious) Hindus in the
United States seem to be angered by the use of a shloka
from the Gita during the now infamous orgy scene in
Stanley Kubrick's swan song Eyes Wide Shut. Countless
hours, time and energy have been spent on various
websites and discussion lists debating and discussing the
issue.
Some say the film is an insult to Hindu religion,
cultural and religious heritage, while the liberals state
that calling for the removal of the shloka from the
film's amounts to resorting to cultural fascism.
My favorite was a debate on the South Asian Journalists
Association's discussion list last week. One Mahadevan
'There is no philosophical difference between a Mahmud
Ghazanavi demolishing Somnath (umpteen times) and a
Kubrick defiling Gita shlokas in his third-rate movie.
Yesterday's Ghaznavi lives in today's Kubrick (or
whatever the hell this man's name is).'
On the other side of the fence, Veena Oldenburg, a New
York City-based academic said: 'This form of Hinduism is
a nineteenth century creation, and to rush to its
defense, if Kubrick or anyone else grabs a tiny fragment
of it and uses it out of context, is futile and in spirit
un-Hindu.'
In the another posting, Shezian said: 'Unless the Hindus
retaliate in full force such type of behavior will not
change. Being nice does not pay.'
So I ask Shezian and his co-believers, what made them not
go beyond the cyberspace and conduct organized protest
against the film's producers, Warner Bros? Two years ago,
an organized effort by the American Hindu Anti-Defamation
Coalition (a Vishwa Hindu Parishad supported outfit)
resulted in Sony Music changing the cover of an Aerosmith
album. Similar protests by the Arab-American community
resulted in Disney changing the lyrics to a song in the
1992 hit animation film, Aladdin.
But where are our desi-Hindu brothers now?
Dr Jai Maharaj, secretary of the American Gita Society,
has been following this controversy since the release of
Kubrick's film last month. Speaking from Hawaii he said
there were letters written to Time magazine (both the
magazine and Warner Bros are owned by media conglomerate
Time-Warner) by leaders of Hindu groups in the US.
However, it appears the magazine chose not to publish the
letters.
Maharaj also read a letter written by a Hindu student in
the US to the film studio. The writer of the 'Dear Warner
Bros' letter threatened to boycott all future Warner
films if the studio did not remove the recitation of the
Gita shloka from the film. One can only imagine how far
that 'Dear Warner Bros' letter would reach within the
vast bureaucratic structure of the Burbank, CA-based
studio.
Maharaj added that while surfing the Net he had seen
pictures of a group protesting outside a movie theater in
Los Angeles where Eyes Wide Shut was showing. The
protestors reportedly belonged to a rival group to the
International Society of Krishna Consciousness (better
known as the Hare Krishna people), he said.
However, Nancy Kirkpatrick, senior vice-president of
theatrical publicity at Warner Bros, said she was not
aware of any complaints against the film. "All this is
news to me," she said, adding it was a part of her
responsibility to track all organized letters,
demonstrations and campaigns against any Warner
theatrical film.
Skeptics might argue that it would be futile to ask
Warner Bros to make a change to Eyes Wide Shut, given the
contractual conditions that Kubrick had set on the
studio, including that no portion of the film could be
altered after his final edit. However, it is a well known
fact that in order to avoid the deathly NC-17 rating, the
studio used 65 seconds of computerized images to
partially cover up the nudity in the orgy scene (the same
scene where the Gita shlokas are recited) in the film.
The studio proved that even a Stanley Kubrick work is not
altogether sacrosanct and it could make a change in the
director's final vision if the film's commercial
viability was at stake. Perhaps then, it is safe to
assume that the fundamentalist Hindu lobby (which so
successfully affected the might of Sony Music in 1997) is
still not strong enough to be a financial threat to
Warner Bros. A few letters to Time magazine and Hare
Krishna type protests do not shake the empire that Jack
Warner built.
Eyes Wide Shut was released on July 16 to mostly positive
reviews. It was the number one movie at the box office in
the opening weekend, having grossed an impressive $ 25
million. Since then, in the next two weeks, the film's
box office has plummeted by 55 per cent. Maybe Mahadevan
Shezian can take comfort in the fact that Hinduism will
outlive its last great threat at the end of 20th century.

You weren't interviewed by Rediff, Jay: you called them and gave them
your opinion.

An interesting post on USENET:

"Jay Stevens (aka Jai Maharaj) claimed to be the secretary of the
American Gita Society. I have been in contact with the society and
they have informed me he is NOT their secretary and is not now
associated with them in any way. In fact, he was kicked out some time
ago after back-stabbing them."
