My contributions to India and Indian Affairs

Padmini Arhant

I wish to dispel the myth propagated by idle loose talking heads representing political regimes in India that my participation in Indian affairs only limited to election.

Unfortunately I’m expected to grin and bear persistent tirade.

As such I’m obligatory to none as I’m not on anyone’s payroll (public or private) unlike the political class and fakes capitalizing on my profile and identity much to self-detriment.

These members thriving on taxpayers funded salary, perks and privileges deliver misery, poverty, unemployment and crimes in return.

As for my involvement thus far in India’s burgeoning issues,

I have been speaking and intervening as and when required on matter related to ordinary citizens across the spectrum and written several articles specifically on India’s critical security, economic, political, social, nuclear, humanitarian and environment issues not barring entertainment for over a decade now.

Whether it was anti-corruption prior to the emergence of the team headed by Shri Anna Hazare and importance to have effective Lokpal bill without swaying from my affirmation to anti-corruption law.

Or

Voicing my opposition to bifurcation of Southern state Andhra Pradesh into Telangana and Andhra by Sonia Gandhi. I offered meaningful solutions to that particular issue only to be dismissed by Congress ruling cadre riding on unbridled horse at that time and accordingly experienced the fall in electoral outcome in 2014.

Commonwealth Games Resurrection in 2010:

Under Congress regime amidst corruption scandals avalanche implicating every Congress leaderships from the so-called high command Sonia Gandhi to other members in the party,

Then Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and Congress sports administrator Suresh Kalmadi were smothered in corruption dealings and could care less about the Commonwealth Games hosting though they both were implicated for profiteering from this event that was scheduled to be hosted by Delhi in 2010.

In this respect, politicians and entertainment sector viz. film industry and sports – the two chief beneficiaries and representatives in politics were pandering to media mockery of India incapable and incompetent in hosting an international sports event with glimpses of their talk shows flashed in western media making India an international joke at that time.

On my part when I watched the charade, I was determined to turn mockery of India into appreciation as I felt the athletes in India and foreign land having been tasked to intense labor and training to compete in the international event were deeply disappointed considering the Indian government i.e. Congress ruling power almost made up their mind to cancel the event that was confirmed to western media by India’s External Affairs minister S.M.Krishna traveling in New York at that time.

I subjected myself to the task of resurrecting the Commonwealth games and did so with energized athletes coming together in making the event successful amid cheers and applause from the audience.

There is no sense of self-gratitude as far as I’m concerned for I believe and practice modesty and humility. However, when there are forces dedicating their lives to isolate, corner and ambush their target with the sole purpose of defeating and destroying goodness, there is a compulsion to set the record straight for clarity and future precedence.

Similarly, I condemned the genocide of Tamils in Sri Lanka in 2009 and expressed in writing through publication on this website. The horrific crimes against ethnic Tamils were carried out with Sonia Gandhi authorized coordination with then Sri Lankan President and Commander-in-Chief Mahinda Rajapaksa who personally thanked Congress Chief Sonia Gandhi for full cooperation.

Subsequently under Congress regime, the state murder of Delhi rape victim in 2012 and withholding the victim’s name against the victim and her family’s request, I wrote and posted articles on abuse of power in this regard and several other instances by Congress leadership viz. Sonia Gandhi and muted opposition in Indian politics.

The anti-corruption articles from me were not surprisingly unwelcome among Indian political establishment. The opposition BJP then headed by Sushma Swaraj together with Congress in unison censured me in Indian Parliament for daring to speak the truth on corruption in Indian political system.

For the record, the innuendoes and nuances from media on political regimes instructions falsely projecting me as showering compliments on former Chief Minister of Gujarat and Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi is nothing more than wishful thinking.

Soon after PM Narendra Modi was sworn to office, I released the audio on mock interview asking very serious questions that touched on controversial and contentious legacy of the former Chief Minister of Gujarat turned Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi. Somehow these episodes not captured on the radar of those wasting time in profiling me.

In UPA 2nd term, I published and presented mock interview with Congress High Command Sonia Gandhi in Italian along with English translation. The questionnaire comprised  Sonia Gandhi’s decisions on not only Indian politics but also her personal interference denying a private citizen’s right to exist by not allowing the critically ill patient to receive emergency medical treatment with the entire nation remaining silent spectators to state sponsored tragedy.

My perspectives and opinion on governments alternating to power strictly premised on ground reality and effects on ordinary folks and their suffering. Nothing more and nothing less.

During BJP regime under PM Narendra Modi, I remarked on the reprehensible idea of forceful land acquisition from farmers and natives by PM Narendra Modi and government. I published article intersecting the passage of land acquisition bill by PM Narendra Modi and government in Parliament aimed at aiding corporate allies Adhani, Ambanis and the likes against farmers and middle class citizens owning land.

As mentioned earlier on I had to bear the heat for objecting to former U.S.President Barack Obama administration initiated Walmart monopoly on Indian retail industry.

Also I shed light on agrarian crisis and discussed farmers long standing woes with recommendations to redress farmers plight. I presented my thoughts and ideas to contain the deteriorating conditions in agriculture economy.

On nuclear and environment issues – I firmly stood by locals protesting against Kudankulam nuclear plant revival and Thoothukudi Sterlite Copper plant menace in Tamil Nadu much to elevated political entities like ex-President Abdul Kalam and fraternity criticism for siding with the people and not the political helm on Kudankulam nuclear project.

Humanitarian standpoint – I pledged my support to human rights activists, writers, authors and environmentalists unfairly targeted, arrested with at least two of them even murdered under PM Narendra Modi run BJP regime. I denounced these actions as they occurred in direct human rights violations subverting democracy by PM Narendra Modi and media.

On national security – those who pay attention to my work certainly noticed submission of facts laden post published by me in this context. The audio  with transcripts on Doklam standoff between Indian Armed Forces and People’s Liberation Army of China over China’s road construction plan in Doklam on the trijunction border that includes yet another nation – Bhutan was published at the height of brewing conflict.

Jammu & Kashmir – I have been writing all along since the establishment of this site in 2008 on multifaceted human rights violations against Kashmiris – beginning with Hindus – Kashmiri Pandits and other denominations as well as muslims in the valley having become mere political pawns for both India and Pakistan waging proxy war in their name with no respite.

Again the articles on India’s North East tensions were also published on many occasions on this premier site –

Last but not the least, drawing international focus on India’s natural disasters were also covered on the site.

All of these made available in diverse format – written publications, audio and video versions throughout the cycles of Congress and BJP government in power.

There were also postings done on India’s regional politics viz. Tamil Nadu government under former Chief Minister Jayalalitha and counterpart DMK leader Karunanidhi as well as other states like West Bengal under Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

I reiterate that I’m not under any constitutional oath as those elected to power in politics are, yet I have been tirelessly working without any monetary payments or benefits whatsoever and devoted significant time of my life on anything and everything about India besides global events and crises. 

Those who are supposed to present their report card on their governance for which they are handsomely paid and undeservingly glorified until the last hour are let scot-free while raising infinite questions on my appearance or the lack there of in Indian scene is indeed ad hominem.

Goes without saying – anything provided free costing nothing instead profits to those taking others selfless service for granted would only yearn for more with limitless demands and endless gibes having become the culture. 

The elements making allegations against me are mirroring themselves with their showing as paid satirist largely part of youtube sleeper cells category proved worse than terror equivalent in addition to them featuring on television networks for publicity merely preoccupied in mud slinging for personal and political gains.

I rest my case.

Thank you.
