The India Gate

Some facts about the India gate :

In 1974 , the then Prime Minister of India, Shrimati Indira Gandhi ji has made the Indian gate have the names of the Soldiers who have laid their lives for the Mother India.

There at the base center of the Indian gate lies a rifle that stands on its nose, covered by the Helmet that is worn by the soldiers. And this rests on a pillar of about 2 feet which is covered by the black marble and written on it "Amar Jawan"

The Pillar is surrounded by four fire openings that burn continuously and they have been burning for the past 37 years now. Every Republic day the Prime Minister of India, visits this place officially for the event and salutes the Amar Jawan, who have laid their lives for the sake of Mother India

60th Republic

This is the first republic day that i have seen amidst Fog and mist that continued its stay until the last salute to the President of India

Where is the Classroom???

It is the oldest University of the Hyderabad. It stands tall and beautiful admit the center of the city. It was built by the Nizam's for the sake of education and after that there was no looking back.

As is known by the people of Hyderabad, Nizam's never went back in allocating funds to the University called the Osmania. The University spread over 230 Acres was devoted to the Urdu education. Later after the Independent India was formed, it became the oldest existing universities of India after the 1853 Universities Of Bombay and Madras.

Osmania University is the only university of the Hyderabad before the Andhra University and the Sri Venkateswara University have been established. Many of the students who studied in this university have taken the ladder that made them stand as India's good educationists.

OU has provided unparallel education with high standards for over 50 yrs and the era still goes. Being a Govt. sponsored University, OU have given education to the best in class students.

But the Campus is also a place where many of the leaders of the 1950's and 1960's have come. They all as student leaders have played a strong role in the Andhra Pradesh's politics. Though there are politics, 90% of the students are the best in class and have never neglected their studies.

Now the situation has changed. The Telangana agitation has made the scenes in Campus resembling the borders, with bunkers and roles of fencing on the roads. There are stoppers and huge police everywhere. The students have made themselves involved in the political agitation that demands for a separate Telangana state. There are no classes in the campus for over 5o days now.

Students who are in their final semester of Engineering are worried about their future. There are reasons for their worries. To the already existing recession and the decreased count of campus placement made them think of "whats next"??? , added to this now the Telangana agitation having its main point as the Osmania University, they say that many of the MNC's which form the bigger section of the employers are reluctant to come for the employees.

A student, not willing to be named, in his 4th sem of Bio Technology says "I dont what will be my next step after i complete my 4th year."

He along with another of his friend adds

"I studied very hard for getting a good rank in EAMCET, and secured ECE in OU. Then i studied hard again with Campus placement as my main target. Now Everything seems to be out of control."

Not just these two, but many students are worried. Its high time, that students separate politics from their education and search for their classrooms with books in their hands instead of stones and placards.

IPL 3 : Pak and the Useless discussion

19-Jan-2010, the IPL 3 player auctions have taken place. To the so called shock of the IPL board and to the world and then to the Pakistan Players and the Pakistan cricket board none of the Pakistan players were bought by the IPL team owners.

There is a huge discussion on this issue by the great Indian news channels and then the wonderful newspapers of the India. They all have together blamed the owners of IPL teams that there was a partiality shown towards the Pakistan players.


But please for the God sake don't blame the Owners of the teams and the IPL for not buying any of the Pakistani players. One has to observe the fact that the owners are here to make business and not to win the hearts of Pakistan people of the PCB. The owners are here in the IPL with huge lumps of money not to make democratic relations but to earn money and save money if they can.




Dear Indian TV news channels and Newspapers , the money of Shilpa Shetty and Peerty Zinta and Shah Rukh Khan and Vijay Malya are not the Countries public property but they are their hard earned money.

They all are here in the name of IPL to make business and not to become the representatives of democracy. So it doesn't really effect if the Pakistani players are left out or the Bangladeshi's or the Trinidad and Tobago.

Sugar : 42 per Kg

Wondered what will be next??

The people in India will some day will start to starve from the need of sugar and other vegetables. You should have already understood what we are speaking here.

When i joined my job a year and a half back the price of the sugar was Rupees(INR) 18 per Kg. and even then some of the low income groups have differed in their consumptions with the earlier one's.

I am earning a respectable salary according to the Indian standards and which should actually allow me to save half of my salary if the prices were to be the same as they are in 2008.

But to my distress and to the shock of millions of Indians who are in my income group and to the utter shock of those whose incomes are much lower than my income, the prices have grown sharply !!!

Though the inflation was down to 30 years low of -1.76, the prices touched sky. They looked as if they wanted to tease the common man of India. The eatables always made the common man cry for his daily living.
Many of the lower middle class families were pushed to BPL group and many of the middle class families like our's are forced to lead a life of a lower income group family.

The increase is more than 150% in every single food item including the daily used DAL and eggs.

Lets have a walk through of the prices in INR

S.No	Item	2008 price(inflation 13%)	2009 p rice(infl -0.74 avg)
1	Sugar(Kg)	18	42
2	Common Dal	43	91
3	Egg	1.50	3.25
4	Dim Rice	24	38
5	Vegetable Oil	51	70
6	Tomato	3	15
7	Okra	10	24
8	Face powder	27	39
9	Petrol(Euro-II)	42	51

Government has to know that when there is no increase in the

salaries paid for the common man and when there is recession

hitting high on the hikes of everyone's salary and when there is a

huge dip in the exports leading to no money in the market ,

how will the people of the country

will buy the goods ??

How can a common man make up for his children's education

when the schools charge 15ooo INR

more this year for LKG??

How can he be able to buy a dress for his daughter's birthday??

How can he make a trip to his native place to meet his well wishers??

when the transport charges are that high??

What is the government doing and what are the

so called socially responsible NEWS channels like

NDTV,Headlines Today,Times Now, ET Now, TV9,Ntv,ETv, etc are doing???

What is the home ministry doing???

TV News Channels Taking a Wrong Path :Part 2

The telecast of the news picked up from the porn site www.exile.com , the obedient and great journalists and the so called flag bearers of the truth and reality and calling themselves the struggler's for the society, the TV news channels started a debate and created a new turmoil in the state.

Then the police has entered and arrested the Chief editor of TV5 and N-TV. There were a series of protests in different parts of the state, condemning the arrest.

But a few points are to be noted, which are put forth by the journalists who have met the Chief Minister Rosaiah.

1. There are no rules made by the Govt. for the Electronic media.

2. There are no limitations that are put forth by the Govt. for the Electronic media.

3. The electronic media is trying hard to bring the truth.

4. The electronic media has believed in the news of Exile, a Russian website because the news was not condemned by of the Govt. offices are it was published.

Now Hyderabad Rocker Team puts a few questions and gives some advices to the Electronic media.

1. Electronic media is a newly emerged structure of the Media. So the Govt. might be still in the process of making the rules. This doesn't mean that you can do what ever you want. You cant show want ever you want.

2. The limitations are not necessarily be put by the Govt. They can even be dealt individually. All the editors of the Electronic media can sit together and discuss and can come out with a plan that will save their prestige and also save the people from getting exposed to false news.

3. Electronic media is also a citizen of a country. and so they shouldn't show what ever they like and what ever they think will fetch the most audience for them. Instead they should look out for the news and things that will bring in the true good for the society.

4. Electronic media is behaving as if they have nothing to with the agitation and the destruction that has taken place after the false news have been telecast. This is much worse than what has actually been happened.

So HydRocker team requests the media to think once before they telecast something, validate the news before they believe in it, do a self review before they come out to tell something to the audience, have a sense of consciousness within about the after effects of telecasting some sensitive news.

TV Channels Taking a Wrong Path

HydRocker is deeply struck by the pathetic levels of social safety and security standards in the past fews days in Andhra Pradesh.

A great leader passed way and a great flood hit and then a huge agitation started and huge hike in salaries for APSRTC were given and then a huge burden on the common man way levied.

But all the issues are to be looked upon by the Govt and are to be solved accordingly to make the common man's life go a smooth way. But the steps taken by the Govt are not reaching the public and the wrong paths taken by the dirty men of the society are shown clearly to the common man by the News Channels that run with the main aim of increasing their viewers count with the help of HOT TOPICS and HOT NEWS and sometimes FALSE NEWS to create a huge propaganda and stating that they have put forth the issue.

and all this SHIT is done in the name of FREEDOM FOR EXPRESSION AND FREEDOM FOR JOURNALISM.

We are a great believer of Dr. YSR and have always keenly observed his political steps and respected his welfare activities. But as said,"THE WILL OF FATE IS MORE POWERFUL THAN THE WILL OF MAN", our beloved leader Dr. YSR has passed away in a chopper accident.

People are eagerly waiting for the details of the report and the details from the cockpit recorder, and on of a sudden there came an article from one of the porn sites of Russia saying that world's most reputed Reliance Industries was behind the death of great late.Dr.YSR.

We want to take all the shame and put it in front of the reporters of the Telugu/Indian news channels which have believed in the porn site news!!! It is a shame that a porn site took the name of the most respected person in Indian politics of the decade(1999-2009). Instead of charge sheeting the porn site, the news channels have taken the news to the already aggressive public, there by creating a lot more damage to property.

We request the Govt, to taken necessary actions and not let false news flow in the name of FREEDOM FOR JOURNALISM.

Attack and Nothing Good

We take great regret in witting down this article. HydRocker team has always been away from the wrong steps of the society, but following them closely and carefully.

This time we wanted to come up with the bad becoming worse and disturbing the unity of mankind across the oceans.

HydRocker was skeptical about where to start this as there had been many attacks on Indians even before HydRocker came into existence and started questioning.

Racism and hatred are two big Ice bergs for the ship called human race and relationships that are built across the continents. We say it as ice berg as the visible part is very less and the depth of it is not known still. The issue of racism has come a long way from the times known. And mankind believed that it ended after the Martin Luther King's Revolt in USA.

But as we said its an ice berg and the ice berg has got its tip piercing at another place, and this time in Australia. Australian's are fierce by nature but they have gotten worse with the advent of recession and their lose of jobs and ability to pay money for their education.

People of Australia have to understand that they are losing their reputation and the attacks will in turn effect the flow of foreign money and will stop their country from going out good.

This post has come not just to point out the attacks on Indians but attacks on the foreign students as a whole. Though the Indian Administration has taken steps and requested the Australian authorities to take steps to stop the attacks, it cant be stopped until the Govt of Australia steps in religious to stop this.

We welcome the promises given by the Govt of Australia but the promises are to be kept. They have to be serious about the reputation of their country and the way the Australia is looked upon by the world these days because of these issues.

HOPE TO SEE AUSTRALIANS CHANGE THEIR ATTITUDE AND WORK FOR A BETTER TOMORROW., NOT JUST FOR THEM BUT FOR THE MANKIND

LIVE PROGRAM : ARE THEY REAL-PART 2

My dear readers, for our post on the so called Live programs on the News Channels, we have come up with a post and also at the same time have asked the TV channels for the reason.

This is in continuation with our previous post and some of the comments and our replies to them

http://hyderabadrocker.blogspot.com/2010/01/live-program-are-they.html

So pasting the comments of Mr. Prateek Bhatia again here so that we can answer every sentence one after the other.

Firstly , thanks to Prateek Bhatia who had taken some time to come up with a comment

Prateek Bhatia : 10 hours ago

@Hyderabad rocker , vahi . GREAT GREAT. U people are simply superb!! No words to describe u all.May i ask u one question ? Have you ever done something of some importance in your life other then pointing out small mistakes of tv channels.I am simply amazed at the amount of time u people or your so called society of bloggers have got to waste on such worthless issues. Ok , Agreed that the interview was recorded. What difference does it make? After all the views were recorded and not manipulated. What difference will it make to your society if these people agreed that the interview was recorded? You have got so much of time that you even came out with a post on your blog , Its simply mind boggling. Try to understand that these are commercial organizations and not charitable institutions. They have done and are still doing so much for the society , What if to attract people they mention small lies like "we are broadcasting live".Just take the example of ruchika's case , If the media was not there , Does ruchika's family { Middle class} had a chance at justice against the high and mighty ?? NO.That case is representative of all the indian middle class against the corrupt government machinery.All credit goes to the media that so much happened. They deserve to do something wrong sometime.And what wrong ?? Just calling a recorded interview "live" ?? . Come on now !! GINE ME A BREAK !! GROW UP !! Prateek Bhatia

Question from Prateek:Have you ever done something of some importance in your life other then pointing out small mistakes of tv channels.( .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .)

Try to understand that these are commercial organizations and not charitable institutions.

Hyd.Rocker Answer : Mr.Prateek NDTV is a channel that is respected as India’s No.1 English Channel. To tell you the truth we are fans of NDTV and the way it works for the betterment of the society

Its good that NDTV is doing it on a large scale. We are not an organization as big as NDTV is and not as commercial as NDTV is. So tough we have done our pebble work for the society, let me put it again for you…. A pebble work for the society.. it never comes out as a big issue.

We, the people of society have never asked anyone of the news channels to become charitable trusts. Thanks to you, if you can try and make one of them a charitable trust or you go on to build one of such kind.

Question from Prateek : . They deserve to do something wrong sometime.And what wrong ?? Just calling a recorded interview "live" ??

Hyd. Rocker Answer: Oh my God save us from these sentences, and please excuse Mr.Prateek for his innocence. Dear Prateek the word “deserve” means a lot and it means a lot wrongly in this context and the way you have used it. No one deserves to do work at any time. Its not Just NDTV or Headlines today or some other news channels.

Mind you , am repeating this for your benefit again… no has the right or no one deserves to do wrong at any cost stating that they have done some good acts in their pervious assignments. Please keep ypurself away from posting these kinds of stuff where you are trying to pull down the prestige and the decency of NDTV.

From Prateek Bhatia : . Come on now !! GINE ME A BREAK !! GROW UP !! Prateek Bhatia

Hyd Rocker Answer : Thanks Bhatia, that you have asked us to take a break But the real thing that matters here is that the time has come for you to grow up.

We the Indian citizens are not as dumb as you think. We are not that innocent that you come and tell us to grow up. Thanks for those comments once again.

LIVE PROGRAM : ARE THEY REAL??

From the Hyderabad Rocker Editor desk...

Today i had the oppurtunity to watch the news channels , the English news channels of India.

They are NDTV and the Headlines today.

It was 9:00 PM show and Natasha was there on NDTV and i dont know the name of the news reader

who was there on Headlines today.

And the news debate was on the controversy of 3-idiots and the Chethan Bhagat.

There was a live discussion on the controversy on this issue between Natasha and Chetan Bhagat

and the Raj Kumar Hirani.

And whats on the other news channel?? its the same.... Chethan Bhagat and Raj Kumari Hirani....

with the News Reader.

Now the Hyderabad Rocker team as it has always been on the side of the society....

Was the live show on NDTV a real one?? Was the live story on Headlines Today true??

Who are tying to bluff??

Why are they trying to bluff the Indian audience?? If they as the News channels are trying to

work for the better society then why are they doing this??

There are no offences!!! we are raising our voices only to know the truth...
