Bhagalpur blindings is the incident of 1979 and 1980 in Bhagalpur in India when the police blinded 31 undertrials (or convicted criminals, according to some versions), by pouring acid into their eyes. The incident became infamous as Bhagalpur blindings. The incident was widely debated and discussed by several human rights organisations.


2007 Torture by Bhagalpur Police
On August 28, 2007, Salim Ilyas aka Aurangzeb, a 20 year old man, snatched a gold necklace. When searched, the necklace was recovered from him. Bhagalpur policemen were recorded by Indian television crews brutally lynched and tortured Salim Ilyas publicly until he lost consciousness. The incident acquired Indian and global recognition further worsening Bhagalpur's notoriety as one of the most lawless areas in India's so-called MOST lawless state, Bihar. Bhagalpur police have had a long history of extrajudicial and excessive violence. The pattern is endemic in all of Bihar, but the Salim Ilyas incident in Bhagalpur and its coverage in India's activist, investigative television journalism has highlighted the nature of human rights violation. Internet videos of Salim Ilyas's torture wherein he is shown to be chained to the rear of a Policeman's motorcycle and being dragged barebodied through 5 odd metres of dirtroad have proliferated.

Bhagalpur is a city and municipal corporation in Bihar state in eastern India. It is the administrative headquarters of Bhagalpur District.
Bhagalpur is a divisional town of historical importance situated on the southern bank of the Ganga river. Situated 220km east of state capital Patna and 410 km north west of Calcutta, it is well connected by rail and road.
Bhagalpur is famous worldwide for its silk production. The silk industry in this city is hundreds of years old and a whole clan exist that has been producing silk for generations. There is a Silk Institute and Agricultural college here, as well as a University, and Engineering, Medical and Homeopath colleges.

They were criminals they got caught
31 under trials
In 1980 in Bhagalpur
Misery savagery their lot
Beaten black and blue by the
Khaki hoodlums rabid cops


In their eyes it was acid
calling it Ganga Jal
Water of the Ganges
they poured
Eyes burnt gouged and gored
Such is law and order
Deplored
Bhagalpur Blindings
Sends a chill down your spine
Oh Lord
Eye sight that will
Never be restored
Law and Order
Ignored
Human values
Butchered
on a weeping
chopping board

Fatal Mistake ...Travesty of Cybernetic Justice

Innocent techie spends 50 days in Jail

Wrongly accused of defaming Shivaji on net

This is the first page headlines in Times of India by a report filed by Ketan Tanna
Nov 3 2007.
According to him a Bangalore based youth Kailash K was arrested for uploading
An insulting picture of Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj on Orkut.. tht allegedly had led to riots in Pune …Nov2006.
He was arrested under the Information Technology Act 2000, and lodged at Yerwada Jail.He was there as an undertrial for 50 days .
His IP provider was Airtel Bharti they had provided the requisite information that led to his arrest.
However it turned out that the information provided by the provider was wrong and the actual culprits have been nabbed.
Kailash K has been duly released.
You can read the entire report in Times of India..

What I would like to warn the present day over enthusiastic bloggers is that Big Brother is watching you all the time.
I must tell you that last year at Buzznet my Photographer No1 site was hacked and the hacker went about posting pornographic stuff and had access to all my uploading, my messages and other tools..
I had informed Buzznet Support , the site was frozen but the damage came later , when this hacked contents were seen by Shia fundamentalists, I could not delete it as the controls were with the Developer..but they should have blocked my site from viewing which they did not do..I was threatened with Fatwas, went through the most harrowing experience. Deleted almost 11000 blogs in a single night , I was for the first time disillusioned as a photo blogger.
I respect all religion, I am not into porn, I like any one else hate the unnecessary killings of Muslims by Muslims or terrorism in any form.I am against racism too.
So it is shocking this single episode Kafkaesque says the Times journalist of the arrest of Kailash K.
Are we bloggers really safe? I don’t even know whatt happened to Gautam Buddhi who was alleged to have posted hate messages to President Bush from the Yahoo Finance Board network…


The cops catch the wrong man
For posting an insulting picture
Of Chattrapati Shivaji on Orkut
Lock him for 50 days
Crime they say never pays
But later they realize
The had made a mistake
Travesty of Cybernetic justice in a Maze
Such are police investigative ways
False encounters
False complaints
Extortions blackmail
by a few rogue cops to get a raise
there are good cops we do praise
for our safety hoodlums chase
case after case
meticulously they liase
but putting a wrong man in prison
for a crime he did not commit
a thought badly misplaced
our system
of law and order
totally disgraced

Racism ! Stop It !


Racism ! Stop It !

like a poisonous snake in a vipers pit
racism its venom in your eyes
will spit ..
blinding you forever
you are badly hit
gaseous fumes of hatred
emit
rotteness transmit
crimes commit
in a white mans world
black mans beatings
totally legit
they the racist regime
custodians of their society
dont care a least bit
know it but wont admit
to more torture and more horror
the black man submit
the laws of the white man
the white man acquit
pigmentation
the color of your skin
the eternal rift
eternal split
a failed gods creation
on the face of it
god who made man
with a faulty kit.

The white man wants peace
The black man wants peace
But multicolored politicians
Their hatred their bid for power
Wont cease
Imprisoned fates of their nation
No release
Man fighting man
Criminalization of politics
Criminalization of religiosity
Frame Freeze
Lands of Black gold is what
The Americans want to seize
Behind them the Russians
And the Chinese..
Hate is a global disease
Polluting the air the sky and the seas
Economic failures man in a squeeze
Hope and Doom both ill at ease
A Eunuch God.
Man
Just can’t appease

Love Poetry Hate Racism

the Iraqis will never forgive
nor forget
those who got them freedom
from oppression
were greater tyrant s
than the Butcher of Baghdad
you can bet
pictures of prison abuse
by the Americans all over the internet
barking dogs howling dogs
that made you piss
in your own sweat
the battle for freedom
is not over yet
american imperialism
american israeli hegemony
a global threat
to steal oil
to steal a countrys wealth
super powers
world organisation
backed terrorists
who wont shed
a tear of remorse or regret
paid mercenaries on hire
hiding behind
a sanctimonious silhouette
spoils of war
building contracts
after bombing infrastructure
roads hospitals
to make up for
the home economic failure
the national debt

Matrix of Evil Osama
On the other hand
On balancing toes of spirituality
Fighting the Chinese winds
