Fwd: (Desiyatra)-- Daylight Robbers of Mumbai's Tourist Buses

Mr Ashok,

First thing I am not Brahmin at all,  and although I believe in vedic caste system but not the way it is followed in India for last couple of millenniums. Its entirely different topic and out of context of what your email is about. I have all the right to question your intention as I am part of this democratic country. The same right that you have got to write this email. It has nothing to do with being Brahmin or shudra or etc. Constitution has given me right to put my view in front of all people just like you have done. And if I find your views prejudiced then I will say SO.

My email is pretty much clear, the problem you highlighted exists in city & state but again its not restricted to Mumbai alone. Whole country is having similar problems and much worse problems. I have never written in my email which says we should ignore problems in Mumbai or state. The law & order mechanism which currently exists in state n country will look after it. You cannot victimize one city and state for it. You yourself are ignoring the problems which persist in the rest of country and only highlighting one city n state. Nowhere I have said to keep quiet against any crimes committed in anywhere in India or for that matter whole world. Keeping quiet is itself classified as Adharma in my belief. But I don't victimize any single place / or sect / cast / belief because of such crimes. We need to accept problems exist and need to work towards resolving them. Not point fingers at one city / state. You are doing finger pointing.

I actually don't believe in calling any one as Maharashtrian only if he speaks Marathi. In Mumbai everyone who works hard is a proud citizen of this city/state. Dividing people on language, caste, religion etc is work of politicians or highly emotional people. Yes many non-Marathi speaking people are present in Mumbai and do lot of business good / bad. Highlighting the bad things is not wrong but it should be done in proper way. Any person who resides out of Mumbai/ Maharashtra reading your email gets wrong impression of the city / state. It makes one believe that crimes only happen in Mumbai / Maharashtra and rest of India is crime free. And in today's times one doesn't need to be at any specific place to know more about it, we have avenues to get lot of information about other cities n states siting anywhere in the country.

Yes I specifically meant 2002 Riots. That is an example that even in Gujarat crimes happen. Its not a crime free state. Your email projects Gujarat as crime-free state and Maharashtra as state full of crime. Now Gujarat CM Narendra Modi is guilty or not is best left to the judiciary which I feel is competent enough to give justice to the people of India. We sitting here (as you have yourself mentioned before) are in no position to say he is guilty or not. Let court decide that rather than passing judgement ourselves. I have nothing against Narendra Modi, if he is proven innocent by court then so be it. If guilty then the court will decide the punishment. And Maharashtra has seen many Hindu-Muslim riots but many Muslims stay peacefully in the state. Each other take part in every festivals celebrated by each other be it Ganesh utsav or Ramdan. Communal harmony is very much present in the state or for that matter in entire India. So no one state can say it is more safe for specific community. Politicians not people create communal divide by playing on people emotions. Be it religious riots or Marathi issue or many other sensitive things.

Again the demolitions part your saying is done by corrupt and power hungry political machinery which exist in all the states of the country. Minority communities are persecuted across the country and at world at large. To fight illegal things for example if it is demolition of residential place like in your case then courts need to be approached. We have a law & order machinery based on constitution of India which must be approached for everything. Voicing against such persecution is welcomed and required. I like people who take on the corrupt system and fight for the rights of people who are troubled. And I am very well aware of power of Internet which is why I have objected to your email as it projects a wrong picture. Power can be used and misused even of internet. Just bcoz of one Muslim being a terrorist I don't blame entire Islam same way I don't accept the misdeeds of  corrupt politicians to tarnish the image of my City and State. Everyone is free to live in this city / state with respect and dignity. Fight against wrong doings but don't bring disrepute to something which doesn't deserve. Your free to catch the culprits even if they are Marathi speaking, guilty must be punished. As for balaji travels if they are cheating people, then they should be punished I have nothing against that part.

Regards
Sarvesh P. Manjrekar

Gujarat is one Safest Place for Sindhis
 
Mr Sarvesh Manjrekar,
 
    In your email of May 13, you have clearly shown your irritation by writing, "Your email is only aimed at one state n city. Your more interested in highlighting both state n city and not just your brothers ordeal and make people aware of dangers of travel. Your prejudice is very much visible from your writing and choice of colors of text in your email."
 
    It is you who are very highly prejudiced, as your name suggests that you are one of the Brahmins who believe in caste-based discrimination. Why should you always question the intentions of others? Why do the Brahmins like you think that you know everything and you are always right, and so you must force your ideas and views on others?
 
    You want the crimes of the whole world to be known, but you want that nothing should be said about the crimes committed in Mumbai, Pune and other places in Maharashtra. You want people living in Maharashtra to close their eyes, cover their ears and keep their mouths shut when any crimes are committed in Maharashtra just because it hurts your pride.
 
    Why do you want only the crimes that are committed in other places to be mentioned? You are trying to divert the attention of people from what is happening in Mumbai and other places in Maharashtra. If there are robberies and other crimes being committed in Italy and Africa, does that mean we should allow such crimes to take place in India too? If some terrible crimes like rapes are committed in Delhi, honor killings of girls and boys take place in Haryana and other states in northern India, you want us to cry and scream, but you ask the ordinary people to keep quiet and do nothing and just tolerate every crime that might be committed in Maharashtra.
 
    If I am staying in Maharashtra, I can only know more about what is happening here. You should remember that Mumbai is the financial capital of India. What is done by some people here can be important for the whole of India. You should also remember that Marathi-speaking people in Mumbai are only about 35% to 40%. So many of the crimes are committed by non-Marathi speaking people, who also control the underworld activities of many mafia gangs.
 
    I had not specifically implicated and said anything against the Marathi-speaking people. Balaji Travels is most likely a bus service operated by South Indians, and not by any local Marathi-speaking group. So why have you got upset and annoyed by my previous email? Can I not ask some people who travel by buses to take precautions against the activities of criminals who might want to rob them?
 
Gujarat Riots & Narendra Modi
 
    You have asked, "How can we forget godhra riots in Gujrat?" You must be referring to the Gujarat riots of 2002 that took place after the carnage in the train at Godhra, in which 58 karsevaks returning from Ayodhya were burnt alive. Do you know what would have happened in 2002 if Chief Minister Narendra Modi had been removed from his post? It is likely that the riot situation would have completely gone out of control and probably more than 20,000 Hindus and Muslims would have got killed in Gujarat. 
 
    A survey should have been conducted by independent agencies to find out how many people could have got killed in the riots if a power vacuum in the political sphere of Gujarat had been created by the sudden dismissal of Chief Minister Narendra Modi. Of course, there are some persons who would have blamed Narendra Modi even for the higher death toll that might have taken place after his dismissal.
 
    If Narendra Modi had been extremely ruthless in dealing with the rampaging mad mobs of Hindu rioters, thousands of Hindus would have died, and the BJP MLAs of Gujarat would have removed him from the post of Chief Minister. As mentioned above, the political power vacuum due to Narendra Modi's dismissal would have probably caused more than 20,000 deaths.
 
    The then Prime Minister A B Vajpayee was in catch-22 situation, as the dismissal of Narendra Modi in Gujarat would have also brought about the fall of the NDA Government, which was ruling at the Center. A B Vajpayee did not wish to sacrifice his own post. Just like any political leader who wants to save his post, he just criticized Narendra Modi, but really did nothing to get him removed.
 
    Whatever some people may say against Chief Minister Narendra Modi on the subject of the 2002 Gujarat riots, he is known as a no-nonsense man who can ruthlessly prevent any threat to the law and order situation in his state. Under Chief Minister Narendra Modi, Gujarat has achieved the fastest rate of growth in the GDP among all the states of India, as Gujarat has less corruption due to the strict enforcement of law and order. 
 
    Gujarat is one of the safest places for Sindhis. Many Sindhis are staying peacefully in Gujarat particularly in the two towns of Adipur and Gandhidham in Kutch, which is the fastest developing district of India. The Sindhis can live very peacefully with the Kutchis, as the Kutchi language is about 90% similar to the Sindhi language.
 
Threat of Massive Demolition in Ulhasnagar
 
    You are absolutely wrong when you state, "Off course your email wont make difference to people and especially to Sindhis whom you feel are insecure in Mumbai / Maharashtra . . . "
 
    Do you remember that about 6 years back, the Government of Maharashtra wanted to demolish 855 buildings in Ulhasnagar and throw out about 100,000 Sindhis on the roads? Maharashtra is definitely not a safe place for the Sindhis who belong to a peaceful community. It required the combined efforts of all the Sindhi leaders of India and the world to prevent such a massive tragedy befalling the Sindhis of Ulhasnagar.
 
    You have not really understood the power of the Internet. I was one of the main persons who had sent many emails to the Sindhi leaders of India and the world to warn them about the massive demolitions in Ulhasnagar, which were ordered by the Government of Maharashtra in 2005-2006. You can read some of my old emails, shown below this message, which were sent to many Sindhis in 2005 and 2006, to alert them on the threat of massive demolitions in Ulhasnagar.
 
    My article, "Daylight Robbers of Mumbai's Tourist Buses," has already appeared on a number of blogs, and it is also being forwarded by many Internet users in India and abroad. The operators of the bus with the registration plate MH16Q 8118 belonging to Balaji Travels, are not going to get away with their criminal activities for long.

Old emails on issue of Ulhasnagar Demolitions:

Sent: 26 Nov 2005 1:55 PM
Subject: Has Final Destruction of Hindu Sindhis Begun?

Please forward this message to your Sindhi friends and relatives.
 

 
Has Final Destruction of Hindu Sindhis Begun?
 
    Demolitions of the properties of Sindhis have started on a massive scale in Ulhasnagar, near Mumbai, in the state of Maharashtra. At least 855 buildings will be demolished throwing out more than one lakh Sindhis on the roads because there are no plans for rehabilitating them. Only the Sindhis have been singled out for such a ruthless treatment by any state government in the whole of India.
 
     Have all the illegal constructions been first demolished in any cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Bhopal, Jaipur, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kanpur, Lucknow, Patna, Bangalore, Pune, Nagpur, Kolhapur, etc? Who will dare to demolish all the illegal huts, chawls, sheds, factories, shops, flats, bungalows, etc, in these cities, without any plans for the rehabilitation of the affected people? The Government of Maharashtra dare not demolish all the illegal structures in Dharavi in Mumbai which is known as the largest slum in the world.
 
This Massive Demolition is Worse than any Act of Terrorism
 
    In which other city in India or the world have one-fifth of the buildings been demolished in a short period and one-fifth of the people suddenly thrown out on the roads without any plans for their rehabilitation?
 
    Does the Government realize the scale of human tragedy that the demolitions in Ulhasnagar will cause? The total devastation due to the demolitions will be many times worse than that caused by any massive bombings by the worst terrorists! Out of the one lakh Sindhis, who will become homeless, hundreds or even a couple of thousands will certainly die of diseases, severe mental depression and many suicides.
 
    The hypocritical Hindu leaders have failed to safeguard the lives and properties of Hindu Sindhis in India. Has the final destruction of the Hindu Sindhis begun? Many Sindhi youths have asked me why they should not convert themselves to Islam and Christianity and migrate to Sindh in Pakistan and to other Muslim and Christian countries in Asia, Europe, America, Africa, etc. Why should they continue to be terrorized and traumatized in India? What reply can we give to such Sindhi youths?
 
Many Sindhis have become Muslims and Christians 
 
    There are many Hindu Sindhis who have actually become Muslims and Christians. Can we stop them from becoming Muslims and Christians? Like many Dalits who have given up the Hindu religion in many states of India to save themselves from the atrocities of the higher castes, many Hindu Sindhis too have already become Muslims and Christians in and around Pune where I live. They feel more safe and secure after such conversions. Even in India, the Sindhis seem more confident in fighting for their rights after they convert themselves to Islam and Christianity. After conversions, they are more capable of fighting against injustice.
 
    As the massive demolition of their properties in Ulhasnagar takes place, there can also be a massive conversion of Sindhis to Islam and Christianity in India. The Hindu Sindhis are likely to protest in a massive way by leaving the Hindu faith, as they can no longer trust the hypocritical Hindu leaders of India in safeguarding their lives and properties. Should not the Hindu Sindhis wonder why their parents and grandparents ever left Sindh in Pakistan and came to India? Their parents and grandparents could have just converted themselves to Islam and continued to stay in Sindh.
 
            Sincerely,
    Ashok  T. Jaisinghani.

Subject: URGENT: Whole Ulhasnagar Gripped by FEAR!

Absolutely  URGENT!
 
Please read and send copies immediately to all Sindhi leaders, friends and relatives.
 
    The Great Calamity of massive demolition is imminent in Ulhasnagar. Whole of Ulhasnagar is gripped by extreme fear. Demolitions on a massive scale will start any moment in Ulhasnagar.
 
     Mumbai's Marathi daily newspaper Navaa Kaal has reported on its front page that thousands of armed policemen from Aurangabad, Nasik and Dhulia have already entered Ulhasnagar. They will prevent the protestors from stopping the bulldozers and demolition squads which will knock down the 855 unauthorized buildings soon. The Government of Maharashtra has fooled all the Sindhis into complacency by pretending to amend the law to stop the demolitions by regularizing the unauthorized buildings.
 
    In a few days, about 100,000 Sindhis of Ulhasnagar will become homeless refugees for the second time after the Partition of India. The Sindhi leaders like Lal Krishna Advani, Ram Jethmalani, Suresh Keswani, Kanayalal Gidwani and others have miserably failed to prevent the imminent massive calamity that will strike the 100,000 Sindhis of Ulhasnagar.

Subject: Ulhasnagar Hammered into Submission!

Alert! Alert!! ALERT!!!
Ulhasnagar has been Hammered into Submission!
 
    The destruction of Ulhasnagar has begun on a massive scale. The Sindhis of Ulhasnagar are being hammered into submission with the help of more than 4000 armed policemen patrolling the streets of Ulhasnagar. The demolitions of 855 buildings can now take place without any hindrance, which will make about 100,000 people homeless.
 
    The protestors have been dispersed by heavy lathi charges and the show of armed might of the police force. There is curfew in many localities of Ulhasnagar to prevent open dissent and to blackout news. Totally intimidated, hundreds of local leaders are under unofficial house arrest, or are hiding and absconding to avoid arrest. 
 
    The timid and cowardly Sindhi leaders have been easily bullied into silence. All the Sindhis of Ulhasnagar are terrorized and terrified. The campaign of terror is openly supported by some big English-language newspapers who want massive demolitions of buildings not only in Ulhasnagar, but in all the urban areas of India without any provision for the rehabilitation of  the millions of evicted persons. Most of the English-language newspapers have completely suppressed the news about Ulhasnagar. There is an unofficial censorship of news by the top English-language newspapers.
 
    The Sindhi thinkers are requested to keep aside the proposal of launching a Sindhi Mega Website for the time being. The modern Sindhis don't want the old Sindhi leaders who have totally failed to tackle the grave problems of the Sindhi masses to be the trustees for the Sindhi website.
 
    Please don't divert the attention of the Sindhi masses from the grave situation of Ulhasnagar which is progressing to become the worst calamity for Sindhis, next only to the greatest calamity of the Partition of India. 
 
    Wait for the full report. Please circulate this message among Sindhis promptly before our emails get blocked. The emails sent to Gobind Jhangiani of Sindhinet have been blocked for many days.

India is jungle in Congi Raj, if you want to survive in India, you have to look after your self, when Hare Krishna devotees use to get done by people Prabhupada use to blame devotees, not to the natives, knowing India is jungle in congi Raj, that they are not looking after them self and getting them self being done up, In congressi jungle Raj, if government don't look after people, people have to look after them self and end of day ever one has to put something in their stomach irrespective of, you are poor or rich.
 
If what Mr Ashok is complaining about his brothers experience, if he complains same thing to Laloo, he will laugh at him, saying "loot gaya ha, ha, ha..........." that is what is rule of jungle Raj, if you get looted people laugh at you, if you get done someone, you are regarded as clever..........
 
I give you an example, i was sitting in shop, in my village in India, and Land-rover type car come, it stop in front of shop where i was sitting and in car there was this Sadhu siting in back and driver was driving car and Sadhu ask for way, and shopkeeper showed him way. after sadhu had drove away, shopkeeper and another customer in shop started talking among them self, saying to each other "he (sadhu) know how to earn money without making any investment, driving in such nice car etc......" meaning in jungle Raj if you done someone up, you are clever, and if you get done, people laugh at you. These are rules of Jungle Raj..
 
It is surprising people like Mr Ashok being Indian saying about his bad experience in India to everyone, people of Indian origin are usually ashamed to say to anyone about there such bad experience, they knowing well, if they say such thing to anyone, people will laugh at them, them being done off by someone.
 
This is congressi Raj....... not BJP that some one will heed your bad experience and feel sympathetic towards your bad experience and would like to do something about it.
 
Though feel sorry for loss of Mr Ashok's grandfather's picture......... I think he should genuinely appeal for return of it, if they don't return his brother's belonging. in jungle Raj of Congi, congi is great enemy of poor, not poor is enemy of anyone..............if they take away anything from anyone............
 
This is our biggest worry about our children, people like us, who is living outside India, that they are not understanding India and in India, what they will do......... "Suuu Karasay, India maa......"

Mr Ashok,

It was sad to know what happened to your brother on the trip. But such incidents are unfortunately common across India, not just between Mumbai & Pune. Everyone is aware of how people are fooled by autos in delhi. How women are unsafe in Delhi, Guragaon area.
How can we forget godhra riots in Gujrat?
Unborn Female killings in states of northern India. Honor killings of girls/boys in Haryana etc states. Delhi is infamously known as the rape capital of India. So in a way what happened to your brother was unjustifiable but not unique and not worst by any means.

Your email is only aimed at one state n city. Your more interested in highlighting both state n city and not just your brothers ordeal and make people aware of dangers of travel. Your prejudice is very much visible from your writing and choice of colors of text in your email.
 
Off course your email wont make difference to people and especially to Sindhis whom you feel are insecure in Mumbai / Maharashtra as people are very much mature and know how to handle such situations very well.
 
Any person coming from out of India and facing such situations will respond in same way as your brother. No one wants to get caught in police, courts and other stuff when your not a citizen of that country.

Plus on much wider view Kindly visit countries like Italy & Africa, things happening in those countries if not worst are pretty similar to what happens in India. We just have this tendency of showing ourselves in bad light more than what we are.

Daylight Robbers of Mumbai's Tourist Buses
 
    My brother, Prakash Jaisinghani, is a retired businessman who is settled in Spain along with his family consisting of his wife and three daughters. He had come to India recently, and had been staying with his sister in Mumbai for some weeks. My brother, who is 66 years old, looks like a saintly person with his grey hair and a full beard on his face. He spends a lot of his time by going to satsangs and spiritual gatherings every day. Last month, my brother had decided to attend the Radhasoami Satsang, which was to be held in Wagholi, near Pune, on April 7th and 8th. 
 
    On 6 April 2012, my brother travelled by a bus from Mumbai to Pune through the services of Sarvas Shakti Krupa Travels in Dadar. He was given a ticket for a bus with registration plate MH16Q 8118 belonging to Balaji Travels. My brother's suitcase was kept in the luggage compartment before he boarded the bus. The bus left Dadar, Mumbai, at about 10 AM.
 
    When the bus reached Pune at about 1-45 PM, my brother was extremely shocked to find that his suitcase was missing from the luggage compartment. My brother was told by the bus driver that the suitcase must have fallen somewhere on the way between Mumbai and Pune, as the luggage compartment was not locked. Only my brother's suitcase was missing, but not any luggage of any other passenger. 
 
    My brother's suitcase was of foreign brand and had labels of international airlines on it. The stolen suitcase contained clothes like imported jeans and many new shirts, CD player, CDs of Radhasoami Satsang Beas, wrist-watch, etc.
 
    The most important item in the suitcase was the framed picture of our maternal grandfather, which was made more than 80 years back in Sindh. That was the only photo we had of our maternal grandfather.
 
    My brother was not helped or allowed by the bus driver to lodge a complaint with the police. The bus driver also said that my brother had no proof that he had kept any suitcase in the bus. The bus driver told him that he would deny before the police that he had seen any suitcase brought by my brother for keeping in the bus. Instead of waiting for my brother to lodge a complaint with the police, the driver just drove away the bus in a great hurry. 
 
Veiled Threat of being Framed for Smuggling!
 
    Before driving away his vehicle, the bus driver had also warned my brother that if he lodged any complaint with the police, he would face constant trouble from the police who would visit him regularly. It seemed like a veiled threat, as my brother could even be accused by the bus driver of carrying some banned items worth lakhs of rupees in the suitcase. My brother felt that he could have been harassed by the police at the instance of the bus driver. If the missing suitcase had been found by any chance, who knows what items could have been planted in my brother's suitcase, at the instance of the bus driver, and my brother could have been accused of being a smuggler or a terrorist? 
 
    In the last 45 years, my brother has travelled to a number of countries, but he has never had such an experience before.
 
    Even though my brother looks like a saadhu or saintly person with his grey hair and a full beard on his face, he was made to feel like a criminal by the bus driver. Due to the bus driver's remarks, he might have easily been suspected of being a criminal or smuggler, as a saadhu with a full beard and mustache can look like a Muslim too. There are many innocent Muslims who have been arrested by the police on cooked up false charges.
 
    My brother thought of avoiding the possibility of any serious problems that might arise, as he did not wish to be held up in India indefinitely and not be allowed to return to Spain. He felt that he should not get into serious trouble by trying to get back his suitcase, as the total value of the items in the suitcase amounted to about Rs.15,000 to Rs.20,000, except for the incalculable value of the only picture he had of our maternal grandfather. 
 
    My brother who often takes medicines for depression had got totally confused and did not know what to do to get back his suitcase.
 
    So my brother did not lodge any complaint with the police. He just went to another brother's home who is presently also staying in Pune. My brother was left with no other clothes except the ones he was wearing. He had to borrow some clothes from his brother till he could buy some new clothes.
 
    It seems clear that some bus employee had stolen the suitcase and got down somewhere before the bus reached Pune. Because the suitcase was an imported one with labels of international airlines, it might have been presumed by the crooks operating the bus of Balaji Travels that it must be carrying costly items worth lakhs of rupees.
 
Victims who Feel like Criminals in India!
 
    What a paradox! The victims of crimes are made to feel like criminals in India. I still don't understand how my brother was made so scared that he felt he might be framed in some bogus case if he had lodged a complaint with the police against the bus staff, which had stolen his suitcase.
 
    The Sindhis cannot feel safe in India, especially in states like Maharashtra. Probably, it would be better for the Sindhis of Maharashtra to migrate to some states like Gujarat and Rajasthan, where the Sindhis feel more safe.
 
    I wish to advise the people who travel between Mumbai and Pune to take precautions for preventing their suitcases from getting stolen by the staff of private tourist buses like MH16Q 8118 belonging to companies like Balaji Travels.
