message to the Communist leadership in India

Dear Comrades Mr.Yachuri, Mr.Karat, Mr.Raja and all other leader figures of the communist party,

Greetings  from a philosophy and truth seeker/researcher ! My profile can be viewed at this blogger cover page.

Dear friends, I would like to convey to you all, that no other political party in the world can claim that it stands for a clear and logical ideology like that of the communists! The humanism of Marx and Engels was incomparable. Their concern for the suffering of the people under the self-centered ideology of capitalists had a rare simplicity and plain genuineness. 

Unfortunately, their concern still remains unsolved. It is all again the reign of capitalist ways all over the world. The rich gets more and more  richer. The ratio of rich and poor gets widened every decade. 

It is time for the real communists to re-adopt the root ideological content of Marx's  philosophy and rise themselves as a new political class to save the world. Instead of clinging on to Marxism word by word, like a fanatic mullah, the progressive and the open-minded among you could re-emerge in the world, with a new ideology that suits the times - -leaving away Marx's time proven fallacies. 

According to our philosophical insight, it was Marx's considering the economical classes as permanent reality was the most faulted view. Today's rich and privileged may not be tomorrow's masters of society. The old Feudal masters have given way for today's industrial magnets. It could be some other group or class tomorrow. But who-so-ever occupy the role of masters tend to look down at the less privileged as unequal. We have seen how the communist party leaders in China and other communist countries had acted like typical Feudal masters when political has power landed in their hands. 

This is the eternal conflict between the less evolved and the more evolved in the evolutionary process of nature. It is the process of conflict of the opposites that root-communism believed; between man's primitive animal nature and nature's intended, more civilized human nature. The ultimate goal of nature is the progress of civility in human society. Man's improved, and more inclusive attitude towards his fellow being. 

History is the witness to this hidden thread of civilizational growth. Kindly go through the following blog-link, to know more about this hidden path of civilizational growth:

http://thethreadofcivilizationgrowth.blogspot.in/2010/12/hidden-thread-of-civilization-growth.html 

Communist party only has the moral eligibility to take up the hidden path of this human civilizational direction as own political ideology and revamp itself with this new CAUSE. At root, this was what Marx and other founding fathers of Communism had intended the movement to be. 

There is a real vacuum today in the world to counter the unchecked ride of capitalism. It is time for communism to leave the broken chair of its old identity and revamp itself with a new identity and take up a new mission. As seen, there is no root change in the aspirations of your founding fathers, but it needs the same vigor and commitment that they had shown while building up the movement some 150 years ago! What we suggest is not an easy proposition. But history will honor you if you could initiate it today. 

Sure you would take up our appeal, and save the world. See how Mr.Trump has got elected as next president of USA ! What he really evoked was the sleeping LEFT sentiment within the majority of American citizens. Similar was the win of Kejriwal in the Delhi assembly elections; again a win of the poor and under privileged, a traditional vote base of communists. I repeat, more than 70% in today's world are anti-rich, hence ideal voters of a reinvented LEFT movement !  

Lal salaam!

Can anyone claim, our world is open, free and progressive?

There is a general feeling today that the world we live in is free, open and progressive. Individual freedom is sacred, and it will be protected by all at any cost. Progressive ideas will be be accepted by both hands and promoted. Fanaticism and orthodoxy etc are things of past.

But if we have a closer look, it will sadly be revealed that, these notions are only in paper. We still live in a closed, orthodox world. The names of old masters must have been changed, but new masters are there to control everything. They hate changes. They love to stick on with old notions, hierarchies etc. Individuals are always shown their irrelevant places in society. The masters head all modern institutions, whether it is politics, big business, education, knowledge centers or religions.

This author, a philosophical and metaphysical researcher for many decades has recently sent an appeal to many top universities in the world,(top, as per internet sources) requesting their philosophy departments to have a look at some of his new findings on our FACULTY OF REASON, that he found playing the role of a mystery SENSE ORGAN in science's every inference and logical deductions. He was hinting at the potential of having a new epistemology for humankind's knowledge pursuits. We know, knowledge is acquired today, either by the belief system of religions, or that of our science. When religions believe in an almighty God, science believe in the supremacy of a physical world, originated by itself, and sustaining by the laws of thermodynamics.

But the result of my communication was a total silence from every recipient; no university has shown even the social courtesy of acknowledging his communication!

He would love to reproduce his communication with the top universities here, for all knowledgeable minds of the world to know and respond what ever way they feel fit. Individuals have their total  RESPONSIBILITY towards their rare opportunity of being in life.

Quote:

'Warm Greetings from an independent philosophy/metaphysics researcher, who has been into  knowledge-seeking for 3-4 decades. He is recipient of a Residential Fellowship from ‘Indian Council of Philosophical Research’(ICPR) in 1989.

Intention of this communication is to remind you, the custodians of modern knowledge, on the utter need of initiating further research into certain new fields of knowledge, such as on the prospects of a not yet known SENSE FACULTY of man,( as detailed in the attached link below) and few other fields that  the remaining part of this communication will delve into.

Love to share here initial hints on the proposed new SENSE FACULTY at the following work of this writer in this link:
https://isreasonasenseorgan.blogspot.com/2013/09/is-reason-internal-sense-organ-super.html.

Secondly, he has been into vigorous research for many years on the ‘SENSE OF SELF’ mechanism of humans.  We know, our present knowledge-system, which is heavily tilted towards the ‘physical’ nature of whatever that exists, claims that ‘sense of self’ is a phenomenon created by the brain activity. 

Perhaps this belief needs very thorough rethinking.  Following are the hints studied by this writer, and request you all to see, whether the said subject could be introduced to your university’s doctorate students to research and write theses on it: Such an exercise only will get involved at least a thousand more minds onto these subjects.

http://unrecognizedobjectsofthemind.blogspot.com/2017/05/the-physics-behind-birth-of-human-self-i.html

Then there is the concept of the WORLD; it also is a hot theme that deserves keen attention and further research by our young research students:  http://selfandworldblogs.blogspot.com/2015/03/is-world-absolute-object-or-relative.html

There are many other fields where the light of further research needed to be urgently initiated. Other than the initiative of top universities, I find no other way for these unheard subjects to find a place in modern knowledge system. 

Won’t mankind’s future deserves hints into such new knowledge-areas? Shouldn’t we end our disrepute of being what philosophy does as merely adding ‘foot notes’ to Plato?

This writer has even self published a book on such several themes that modern knowledge is yet to knock at, at Amazon link: https://www.amazon.in/Many-Doors-Knowledge-Mankind-Knock-at/dp/1514354772/ref=sr_1_1?qid=1581576727&refinements=p_27%3AAbraham+J.+Palakudy&s=books&sr=1-1

This writer is willing to aid the new researchers with any further clarification that they might need on these new themes. He doesn’t seek any self-promotion, fame or money. His simple intention is to get these themes the attention of our present day custodians of new knowledge, the Universities, for ensuring further research.

He realizes that, without few knowledgeable others too deep-indulge into such themes, they may not develop into full systems, and new base for future knowledge.  

I politely appeal to you all to pay deserving attention to whatever new knowledge seeds this writer has introduced, and initiate more work on them.  His complete pieces of work are at his blog spot; https://www.blogger.com/profile/14249415589712707293

With  lots of hope, I end this communication here.'

Unquote:

This was reproduced at this public sphere here to make the knowledgeable strata of world-public, that our world is not a free, open and progressive place as mentioned in the beginning.  

Existence seeks to develop individuals; never great, impersonal collectives. Collectives are only the MEANS for the individuals to intellectually develop. But our social-economic-political collectives (organisations/institutions) have a big role to play (by their acknowledged representatives) to convert our collectives into sacred, free, open and progressive places, where individuals could feel a very different, proud belonging. 

This strata of individuals include media men, our science and philosophy professionals etc. Politicians simply smart-use the existing darkness of minds. 

Their complacency will ensure continuation of the past dark ages, further.

Enlightenment-era ideal of human-progress&freedom.redundant today?



Introduction

This is an attempt to show that, though the emergence of Western-notion or model of human progress and free-man with ‘in-alienable rights’etc was an unprecedented and unique development in the world, the immediately followed emergence of the modern-industry and the neo-political system of Democracy, could not support its sustainability, by its default (evil) world-view, and the same (evil) values of those two institutions.

The picture of the above model of 'free man' had no ambiguities. He was free to choose his way of making wealth, a necessary means to procure what he desired. He had all freedom to define his way of being happy. He insisted on having such a govt. that do not create hurdles on his such liberal ways of being happy in any manner. The role of govt. was to ensure, that no intervention from its part, and from the part of any other person create any hurdle in the above aspiration of individual man. 

About the ideal of progress too, similar clarity was there. Progress was understood as man's constant win over nature; its set speed of travel between places, communication between two or more people sitting at distant [places, overcoming the vagarities of extreme climate that hindered comfort and pleasure and fighting illness and diseases. Man was able to travel fast, in the land, air, and water to distant places and even distant continents,(also distant heavenly bodies!) invented fast and efficient communication technologies and devices such as the telephone and computers, improved medicinal science to treat diseases of all kinds. He was able to build permanent dwelling units with protection from the assault of extreme climates. He was able to create a synthetic world for himself, very different from what Nature had originally bestowed upon him! 

But was he able to sustain the tenets of unbridled human freedom?

Though every nation and its institutions in the world now claim, quote, and stand by the ideals of RIGHTS, LIBERTY, and DIGNITY of the individual man, the true fact is, that the rights and dignity seeking citizen is rather a burden than a blessing in modern-world, under the mastery of neo-polity and industry.

So, one could see the emergence of many movements, struggles and up-rising from many corners of the world today, a rising phenomenon of seeking alternative ‘self-identity' by citizens. The entire world was under the happy imageries of the rights and dignity of man for so many years, or even centuries, especially under the strength of United Nations Declaration of Human-Rights in 1948.

 But, in real life situation, all the nations now under great compulsion for achieving Economic-development by promoting Industry, could not keep the above great ideal at center-stage. As a result, that great and unprecedented ideal had a natural-death long-back!  Man came under the same old Feudalism-like socio-political-economic hegemony of a breed new Masters! Feudalism has gone, but a new, a more dangerous calamity has emerged! Man is once again NOT FREE and LIBERATED, yet again!

Modern states, whether despots ruled or democratic, are more cautious about their own safety and security. They are obsessed with these aspects more than that of protecting that of their citizens, the very END for which they had been instituted. Even in the USA, the most coveted Nation in the world for human rights and Liberty is now increasingly criticized for her police atrocities. She said to have the largest number of the jail population in the world! ( 1/4 of the total, 25%)  

About the above- narrated concept of 'progress' too, it reached only a limited percentage of people all over the world. Due to the policy of liberalism and free-trade, the few who strived hard were able to have all the above- referred gadgets of progress and comfort, leaving the rest majority in the same natural state of life they had been living since the beginning. The inequality factor was grave! Despite centuries of the said tenet of freedom and progress reigning in the world, its real fruit was able to reach only 30-40% of world population. Wealth and resources, in most cases, snow-balled into the pockets of a few hundred people and families ( less than 1%)
In USA, people's class recently had an unsuccessful agitation called the 'OCCUPY' agitation, claiming, it is the rule of 1% over the rest 99%.

In short, while the fruits of the said progress and freedom did not reach the majority population, there were murmurs about the very category of the said signs of progress.The index of human happiness did not rise in right proportion to the rise of his increased comfort of life. It strained relations between human beings, communities and also within families.  Wealth and possession ruled minds of the man than pious emotions. 

Let us take hereunder, a few real-world examples of how many localized-cultures reacted towards the onslaught of the said western -model of the freeman, human progress and culture: 


 Annihilation of localized cultures as a result of the assault and conquest of Western-Model

1) The Islamic-world


This conquering of the entire world by the Western-Culture, her consumerist and market-oriented 
(Globalism) culture, has created a never-heard identity crisis for men,  and also for many communities.

As evident from the authentic-statistics and recent research reports, very small percentage of the world get to enjoy the full-fruits of all western innovations and high-end life-amenities of modern-world. A minority elites, and we could say the new 'middle class', consists today's mainstream world. Though this middle-class is able to enjoy most of the life-amenities of modern-world, they always are engaged in a 'success' tug-o-war with each other, for proving who is better-off than the other! In short, world- population, say up to 99% as claimed by the US citizens in their recent OCCUPY-WALL STREET agitation, get to lead a life of 'accessories' for the 1% elites, who actually own and run the world!

The 'self-rooted' (
'self-interest' as wrongly claimed by Adam-Smith as base nature of man, now corrected as 'self-rooted  at blog-link:http://communicationonnewworldorder.blogspot.in/2015/12/an-open-letter-to-every-man-of-mind-in.html ) nature of this 99%, especially those who live far-away and alien to the affluence, individual-freedom of the said Western-way of life, for example, the Muslim world, greatly suffer from the pangs of ALIENATION from the mainstream. They get to watch on TV and other media sources, the sky and earth difference between their life, and the life of people at the other part of the world, which is portrayed as the 'mainstream'. They fail to connect themselves in any sensible way with the said mainstream, even remotely. Their life-under the Monarchies of the Arab-States offer little social and political maneuverability in their lives.

Their way of life is not reflected or projected in the above-said mainstream, modern-world!

This 'alienation' adds-up to the religious rigidity in their personal lives, thanks to the orthodoxy that still exists in their state religion, Islam. Due to the existence of 'Mullah' system, the system of having local religious-priests attached to every Mosque, going away from the small-village community to individual freedom and its ways is almost unthinkable. It could be done only at great risk of social and religious ostracism. So, it was either direct conforming to religion, or losing of social membership and even loss of life! For almost 100% Muslims in the world, it is either conforming to religious ways or getting out of community and life!

While the Royal families and the powerful members in politics and business have their Western ways, with frequent travels abroad, the life of ordinary Muslims got confined within the strict walls of separation from the mainstream-world, that they are so blatantly accustomed and exposed to at TV channels and social media outlets.The self-rooted human-beings, as we have seen earlier, cannot live long with such lack of belonging-ness with his external world. If allowed to live-in such circumstances for long, he will get spiritually split and broken. His internal pressure to self-express himself in the mainstream, and claim his space in the world will be uncontrollable!

Here, as no meaningful way exists to be part of the so-called mainstream world, as it was so alien and remote to him, the average Muslims in the Arab-world had no other means but to withdraw into his own small world of native Islamic piousness and purity. While every human-being is existentially willing to come out of his native cultural shell, and expand and bloom in whatever way, but if such new avenues do not admit him fully, or if he finds it too alien to his native thought-frame, he will always draw-back to his roots. Without a sensible and rational oneness with one's idea of the world, he starts feeling unbearable alienation and existential self-divide.

From this cocoon, the other world of West was irreligious and Godless for the Arab-Muslims, a rational cause for declaring them as enemies of their world and God!

Of course, the attack on Iraq, a part of the Islamic world had added-up to this vital self-rooted-ness. It was naturally treated as an attack on-their-own culture and religion. One of our specific blogs delves into this special case of Muslims, at link:http://metaphysicsofthehumansoul.blogspot.in/2014/12/terror-for-religious-causes-time-for.html

A world without any meaningful participation of Islam and its people was plainly unacceptable to them. And there was no other idea or notion of the world too, other than the westernized world in existence anywhere in the Globe! This was a real existential and identity issue for the Arab-Muslims, billions of them, to up-rise against the enemies of their culture and their God, who had destined them to be the way they are!

Terrorism is the natural strategy of every less-powerful group, who nurture a sense inequality, alienation, and who consider their enemy as much stronger for considering a direct encounter. The surprise element is their main weapon and strategy.

2) Naxalism, Maoism etc in India

Out of the 600 plus districts in India, more than 30% districts suffer from various kinds of anti-State up-rising, mostly from Tribal belts of the country. The natives of these districts still are unwilling to come out of their hamlets, and be a part of the mainstream. This poses a real hindrance to the highly industry-aspirant State, as these tribal belts are abundant with various metal, mineral and coal mines. Moreover, the geographical areas under their occupation are highly potential industrial-locations too. Re-locating them to other areas will give high-commercial gains to the State, in the form of great industrial development.

Here, it turned a real clash with basic 'self-rooted' nature of man and the self-interest driven industry and her partner in the game, State. An article from a Delhi University professor Karen Gabriel would give good insight into this phenomenon:
https://www.academia.edu/1878864/The_Empire_Strikes_Again_Ground_Zero_and_Troublesome_Tribals

3) Hindutva, the new surge of Hindu pride in India 

Like Muslims, Hindus were there in the world for multi-centuries. Hindu society was caste-ridden, and the hegemony of the upper-caste was complete.But the British colonization and the subsequent emergence of India as an Industrially developed nation in the lines of her one-time Western masters was not able to transform Indian society into one of uniform-modern culture and dignified self-identity of one and all. What had happened was a plain handing-over of the old social-hegemony from Feudal Lords to the new industrial masters. The new democracy that was established in 1947, after freeing the nation from the British too, thoroughly failed to provide the people of India a uniform new dignified national self-identity. While a new industrial sector flourished, along with her ancillary bureaucratic class and a moderately well-off middle class, maximum population of the country had to suffer inequalities and socio-political discrimination at several fronts.

They had already been detached at least partially from their old Hindu social-norms, but when the new-world-order didn't offer them a better-self-identity and social reality, they were living with the similar mindset of the Muslim population in Arab-world, neither here, nor there. When the Hindu-Political party, BJP, came to power under PM Modi in 2014 after the party's elaborate electoral propaganda elevating the old Hindu pride and identity with the mission of wooing their votes, many a countryman in Hindu dominant India (80%) fell in the trap, and the electoral success of BJP naturally raised a sense of a revival of Hinduism in the country.

The false notion of superiority enjoyed by the majority population in the Arab world, and also in Muslim Pakistan over the citizens of other faith was taken as an example by the average Hindus, and they eagerly desired to adopt the same hegemony of the majority religious groups in India too, to elevate their losing self-identity in the anonymous sea of  the Western-culture dominated country. The Hindu religious groups and leaders found their suddenly renewed importance and relevance in the country, and they worked hard to unite all their grass-root units to ascertain domination and hegemony of Hindu culture in every nook- and corner of the country in no time.This lead to the new war-cry of Hindutva in India, the rising-up of Hindus to celebrate their regaining of their almost lost self-worth, relevance, and dignified self-identity.


4) The frustration of Americans also is visible, in their increasing support for the Republican presidential candidate Mr.Donald Trump, a fascist and divisive figure 

Leave rest of the world and take the example of recent America too. Newspapers and thinkers are worryingly amused and wondering how US citizens, with all the best in the world at their feet, now clamoring for a divisive figure like Mr.Donald Trump! He is clearly not liberal-minded, as evident from his uttering. He wanted to ban immigration of Muslims to the US, and stop outsourcing US jobs to outside countries like India. 

We need to mention here the latest BREXIT story too, wherein majority British citizens have opted to quit the European Union, and keep the uniqueness of British-ness intact! It is quite evidently a sign of abandoning the Globalization ideal of Free-Market. 

A new trend in the world is clearly visible.They stand against the tenet of liberal western culture, that stand for treating every man as equal. Not only that such an equality of status of all men has taken root in the world, but it has caused old-social structures to break-down.In India, the western-values and way of life were limited to her cities and urban areas. The vast rural population of India, now alienated and averted to western-culture, are too impressed with the stand of Mr.Trump, so they recently celebrated his Birth-day with fanfare and religious ceremonies meant towards ensuring his electoral success! 

When a new institution fails, people tend to go back to the past with more vigor and enthusiasm, for identifying with something solid and great. Man's SELF, a stuff that depends upon some other stuff, or object to RELATE TO, here gets into action mode. He seeks out something or other to relate to, and FEEL his sense of existence and reality. 

The newly observed general xenophobia in Europe, especially the UK, can not be seen outside our above explanation.Without a clear self-identity, as mentioned above, no man can find peace with himself. It is Nature's law.The western model was unprecedented, but it failed in its sustainability factor. 

So, modern world, we could say, is in cross-roads to invent a new model of self-identity to its inhabitants.

Conclusion

I
n all the above examples, what appears common was the uprising of various individual-culture and religious groups, who had got drowned in the anonymity of modernity and Globalism, in its market and consumerism-oriented culture.In the said modern culture, only those who had economic or political power had relevance and noticeable identity in society. The rests were a mere accessory and ancillary entities in every society.

Those who were not in the rat-race for economic or political success and up-man-ship had to resign to their life of total anonymity, lacking opportunity for any creative self-expression.The generally materialistic and consumerist western-culture has got the human-beings longing for spiritual identity, the natural urge of every self-rooted man!

Look anywhere in the modern world, and there was the reign of this western culture oriented lifestyle, preferences, norms and belief-system everywhere. It was a culture of men who aspired to live their lives just for the sake of it, finding total self-expression of their native abilities and tastes, and relishing life like a delicious candy.But only a very few could go fully into this kind of life, style, and worldview, as the majority of men and women had to play their role as mere accessories and ancillaries to such a system.

The existential energy that prompts the entrepreneur to go wild with his creativity and individual-achievement spirit is the same kind that a Terrorist, an anti-social or a criminal shares; it is equally wild and terrific! The latter despise and show contempt towards the achiever the same way the achiever despise the non-achievers and unsuccessful.The latter wish to give-back whatever personal humiliations, injustice, sense of wretchedness the world has given them through their acts of terrorism and vandalism. The non-belonging-ness towards the world and life the Terrorist and the anti-establishment men experience is similar to a degree that his so-called oppressors experience as love for life and gaining success!

The golden-law that derives from the above existential facts about life and society is that,one can not afford to go up and up on the ladder of success in life by causing any sense of non-belonging-ness, inferiority, or injustice to any other man, or group, whether it is personal life, institutional activity like industrial entrepreneurship, or modern political POWER business.The newly emerged science of ECOLOGY should be eye-opening for the world in this regard, that neglecting or not-caring for anything in the environment, whether it next-door man or entities and forces in nature, one should be ready to face equal and opposite consequence. Evolving a new philosophy of life for running personal lives, as well as our various collective institutions is inevitable.( see details of this at link: http://newphilosophyoflife.blogspot.in/)

The rise of the tenet of individual liberty in West was an unprecedented event is human history.But,it has lost its sheen and spirit immediately thereafter.Its revival and nurturing to new levels should be the urgent agenda of every one of us, the men of the mind, reason, and sense of responsibility for mankind's future.



The world badly needs an alternative ideology, a new model for the development of man.The western model stands almost failed and out. There is no other model in sight too. Unfortunately, no top intellectual, writer or university today is acutely aware of the above phenomenon. So, the world goes on and on, in a perplexed and confused way.

Regarding absence of a WORLD-CONSCIENCE;To Noam Chomsky,Amartya Sen&others


From: Abraham Joseph on behalf of conscience@conscienceofthesociety.com <conscience@conscienceofthesociety.com>

Sent: Tuesday, June 7, 2016 6:08 PM

To: Bhanu Pratap Mehta, Noam chomsky; Ashok Malik, Amartya sen

Subject: Is there an international community to voice against indifference of major Nations towards human-freedom and rights violations ?

Dear men of Mind with high reputation in current world, 

Warm Greetings from a sincere freedom- seeker and researcher from India !

Let me come straight to the urgent subject matter of this communication; Saudi-Arabia, we all know that, is a highly-orthodox Islamic nation, where every Friday, criminals and other convicts are beheaded in public, inviting no response at all from any international community. She is a close associate of the most powerful nation in the world, USA ! USA also is the most powerful DEMOCRACY in the world !

Now USA is at the final stage of establishing diplomatic relation with Iran, another Islamic country, with equal history of stark violations of human-rights ! USA's infamous ( old) ties with Pakistan is well known, a country, well known as the 'epicenter' all terrorism in world !

Now, with Modi's India too, USA is believed to be comfortable with. With the ever decreasing grip of Congress in the country, the oldest political party in India, chances of Modi's implementing, at least in undeclared signs, a 'Hindu-Rashtra' in this country, in line with Saudi-Arabia, Afghanistan, or Pakistan where the writs of Islam reign, is somewhat certain ! 

India under Modi is rearing to be known as the singular Hindu-nation in the world! He may not be able to withstand or resist for long, the pressure from the Hindu religious groups in the country, who were instrumental in ensuring his electoral-victory in 2014.

If such a thing happens, their first target would be, NOT Muslims or Christians, but the men of mind like Mr. Mehta and others. The threat is extremely real !
  

In USA too, even if Mr. Donald Trump does not win, his ever growing support base should frighten every freedom loving man in the world ! Why people are not aware of the threat of these fascist minded leaders ? 

Answer seems quite plain; the men of mind like Noam Chomsky in USA, and P.B.Mehta or Ashok Malik in India, remain to be mostly POLITICAL-ANALYSTS, NOT genuine human-right lovers !

From their regular writings, common man in the world does not get any danger sign. People are totally unaware of the danger of losing their individual-freedom one-day. Modern-Democracy has become a most convenient tool, or vehicle for these dangerous people to be Masters  of world, putting world back into the times like that of Hitler, or any other similar despot in the past.  

There does not exist  an international community of men of mind and freedom, frankly speaking ! There is no international 'CONSCIENCE' today ! This is what emboldens men of Media to pretend to represent that role, but they are increasingly and dangerously being converted as direct-agents of the above described ‘enemies’ of human-freedom.

This is to request you all to be awakened  about your unique responsibility, that no other strata could fill...

Kindly be very specific, direct and plain about what you have to say, so that common people of the world get to know the impeding danger. This is a historic responsibility. Future generations would remember you, and grateful to you for the role you have played....

Especially Noam Chomsky should be clearly aware of the this hidden-anti-freedom stand of modern democratic govts; he describes, how his book and its publisher got vanished from the most FREE country in the world, USA, at link:http://www.chomsky.info/talks/19890315.htm

You all have a ready-made VOICE, at least in your respective countries, and this is an appeal to use it to vigorously educate people, and our age in general !!!

Every one of you, I hope, is aware that, the unprecedented air of human-freedom arose during Enlightenment and subsequent American Revolution had died out in its spirit and relevance during the later developments such as the rise of Capitalism, and the emergence of Democracy as a meek-hand-maiden of the former, for achieving the so called 'development' of Nations. 

The new players, industry and the neo-polity, both didn't have any direct or indirect UTILITY for human or individual liberty. For both the above agents, a subdued and submissive citizenry worked well than a liberty and dignity seeking class of people. Kindly read more on his pathetic misfortune of modern-world, at our blog-link::http://understandinginflationinanewlight.blogspot.in/2014/12/freedom-and-free-market-are-they.html
understandinginflationinanewlight.blogspot.in
Modern world is engaged in a rather futile attempt to understand the phenomenon of current terror and violence, especially in the Islamic world.
Apologies for making this piece of communication bit long; it was indeed very necessary to convey my agony to you all...

warm regards,

An open letter to every man of mind in the world; scientists,religious leaders, media-controllers,political and social-wizards,on a alternative perspective on human-Nature

Sub: A new insight into human-nature, that would link and explain better, all important socio-political and religious movements in history, such as origin of Nation states,Colonialism,Capitalism, Communism, Islamic terrorism,Boko-haram, Maoism,Naxalism and lastly Hindutva in India.

This write-up tries to show, that Adam-Smith's notion, man was basically 'self-interested' had originated from a false-view on human-nature. Man is not guided by self-interest, but he is simply SELF-ROOTED, a metaphysical or spiritual trait.


Dear all men of mind, Reason, ideas and vision in the world...
( this include opinion leaders, top journalists,think-tanks, top university heads,religious-heads, philosophers and scientists)


What gives a scientific-theory prestige is its universal applicability;ie. if it able to explain every known physical phenomenon in the world, such theory is considered really true.Newton's theories had such universal applicability till the arrival of Quantum-physics.Now quantum-physics has thrown out every established concept and notion about our classical 'objective physical world'. Mankind is at cross-roads today. She struggles to connect all new findings of Quantum Physics with the real world, that once she had explained under classical physics!

This is an attempt to show, that 'SELF-INTEREST' as the root element of human-Nature, first propagated by Adam Smith was like world view of Classical-physics. It is time for us to entertain a new approach towards human Nature, a Quantum theory!

     
An often quoted passage from Adam Smith's 'The Wealth of Nations' is:
"It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages."

The NATURAL SELECTION theory of Charles Darwin had fitted well at almost every juncture with Adam Smith's theory of self-interest.Modern world has so far lived comfortably with the above two scientific-findings on human-nature, without any major contradiction so far.

Today we are having our social-quantum movement,with so many explanations pouring-in to explain one of the major issues that modern-world faces- Terrorism; what causes this wide-spread human-behavior? In many cases, terrorist plans are executed by SUICIDE-BOMBERS, wherein the attacker voluntarily die in the impact of the explosion. How would we explain such wide-spread act in the modern world as an act guided by SELF-INTEREST? Except probably with the 'selfish' motive of gaining entry into the PARADISE! This motivational factor is a 'firm belief' that many fanatic-religious believers keep as a mater of deep faith! This will clash with 'self-interest' factor in this world with that of 'benefit' of the act here, with its fruit in the next world!

Logically, such 'self-interest' factor might be valid to explain Islamic Terrorism. But understanding 'self-rooted' Nature of man might explain such extreme behavior of man better---

The chief purpose of this post is aimed at examining the difference between self-interest and self-rootedness, and see its better-applicability and relevance in explaining human-behavior, both individualistic, as well as collective.

Historical factors that helped upholding the individual centrality in human-society, that lead to self-interest theory 

Individual man was never an isolated object and entity till the end of middle-age. Man was merely a cog- in the various collective human-masses till then.Individual's interest or whims were never allowed to over-ride that of the collective.Like animals in herds, human beings were either mass religious-communities,warrior-tribes, agri-communities etc, wherein individual was a close-knit part and parcel of the group.

It is said that, the invention of printing had helped man to ascertain man's  inalienable rights as an individual, against the hegemony of collective-agencies like Church and polity.Teaching of the Church, earlier read and understood only by clergy-men, has now reached each-man in the form of individual-bible in his hand. Man was able to establish his direct relation with God, and this realization and ascertainment of his unique status as a person in the world was that lead LOCKE to establish his theory of inalienable rights of human-person.

We all know that,Locke's ideas and teaching had played a central role in drafting the constitution of America, and the declaration of their independence. American revolution was a real land-mark for establishing individual-rights in modern world. Modern capitalism had originated as its real-world expression or translation of individual-liberty of man. The independence of the entrepreneur represented what America thought, individual-liberty expressed in its fullest sense !

The spirited fathers of American constitution like Jefferson etc.also had important roles in up-holding the new mantra, that every institution and law must stand to protect and safe-guard liberty of man. This was a revolutionary silver-line in the history of man !

Severe lack of foresight with regard to capitalistic-liberty of entrepreneurs vis-a-vis that of 'OTHERS' in society !

Adam Smith said, it is not from the benevolence of the Butcher or the Baker that we have our dinner, but from their propensity of 'self-interest'.That was a very idealistic assessment of human-nature, as well as about inter-personal economic relation. In modern capitalism, the smart-entrepreneur-ship of the butcher always expands his investment world by entering the field of baker too, thus sending him packed-off his business ! Modern entrepreneurs usually are multi-product handlers, butcher,brewer,baker,tiller,banker and many more fields under one umbrella, thus seriously jeopardizing the classical free-market demand-supply balance and natural pricing factors up-side down.He,besides making his empire of multi-products and services, also keeps his interest and influence in the country ruling and law-making realms, thanks to modern democratic govt's compulsion in achieving ECONOMIC-DEVELOPMENT of their respective nations, and their close-dependence upon the entrepreneurs class for achieving the said goal.

Thus the 'invisible-hand' of the free-market mechanism that Adam Smith had envisaged to usher-in welfare and gradual wealth of every member of the society, as real world-experience of many centuries has shown, remained a mirage. In the neo-capitalistic world, the rich turns hugely rich, throwing up-to 99% of population into mere survival level of existence.Wealth and comforts get confined, or ice-balled into the hands of a very small percentage in society. In other words, capitalism has no clear attitude towards others in society,except competition,or altruism, first to let the best to survive, and the second to mercifully let all the defeated and beaten majority to continue existing in society at bare survival level !

Every authentic,real world study of capitalistic world, for eg.the recent Zurich University study, or that conducted by Oxfam, revealed that, more than 55% of world's wealth and resources are in the hands of a mere 70 or 80 business families ! ( much less than 1%)

Capitalism:The world of commodities; Its particular materialistic VALUE that seeped into every aspect of modern world, and KILLED the centrality of individual and all moral values in society

The pattern of human-development that followed the Enlightenment era was crystal clear. There was a spurt of scientific discoveries, such as Steam-Engine, Electricity, telegram, the Railway, Printing... and an unending other life-improving amenities. Using the new steam-ships, discovery of new lands, and their Colonization followed. Raw-materials that flowed from the new lands to the factories in Europe had flooded the market with commodities. These finished products or commodities went back to the new world in abundance,sold there,thus hugely bulging the pockets of the entrepreneurs with never-before seen surplus capital and real,abundant WEALTH! Classical economic theory of diminishing marginal returns ( this is a theory about consumption;with each addition unit of consumption, consumer's degree of satisfaction gets reduced) has only few exceptions; major one is about WEALTH;with every additional adding-up of the unit of wealth, negative of the above theory happens- - -instead of satisfaction getting reduced, it gets enhanced with every unit of additional unit !Yes; WEALTH never tires man, or reduce his degree of satisfaction. It goes on increasing ever, with every unit of addition.

Thus, producing more and more, and reaping more and more profit has become a sanctified affair for the class of entrepreneurs, and modern world has turned around to accommodate the above thought line,culture and norms. Anything that does not produce some gain or profit was looked-down-upon, with despise and contempt. Thus pure-knowledge for its-own sake, local cultures,art,religious traditions etc.had to accept low-key status, and considered worth-less activities. ( Please share our blog that handles the said assault of capitalistic world view on modern world at link:http://leadingdogmasthatruletheworld.blogspot.in/)

For them, world itself has turned a commodity, or an avenue for selling more and more,and reaping more and more economic success and profit. The new democratic-political form of government added to this obsession. As once mentioned above, these new political creatures were obsessed with bringing DEVELOPMENT of the same sort that these newly wealthy entrepreneur class had introduced into the new world. They had high-rise mansions, exotic locomotives for travel,instant communication gadgets like phones, new ways of clothing,foot-wear and new style of behavior. It is heard that, many a British Nobles were willing to exchange their knight-hoods etc in exchange of the exotic-items the new entrepreneur class brought from the exotic-lands !

Artisans and small-time traders in Europe were wooed into the factories as WORKERS, as there was a huge shortage of them at the manufacturing centers.The entire world has become a work-place sooner or later and majority of population a work-force. Latest statistics from India shows that almost 51% of rural population ( almost 71 % of total population lives in rural areas) are manual laborers ! Individual liberty when allowed to flourish in the capitalistic model of societies, the 1% most successful will need majority of OTHERS as accessories and ancillaries in the production distribution system for surplus capital to accumulate, and for the wealth of nations to turn a reality !

While the self-interest of the entrepreneur gave him immense individual liberty with their role as providers of jobs,commodities and development, the rest of the population had to sacrifice it for earning their livelihood.Whether modern world and its masters agree or not, real liberty has got very narrowly limited to those who held wealth or some share in political power !

Though a remarkable revolution had emerged in the world in the name of communism, in retaliation against the exploitation of man and his liberty this way, it did not result in emancipation of man; it offered only yoke of a different kind on the shoulders of man, that of the tyranny of the communist party-leadership.World had no model of governance known, except the RIGHTIST model,wherein the powerful naturally hold power over the weak and unprivileged. 

It was indeed a sad and unfortunate twist in the history of human-liberty and individual sovereignty;a great and unique ideal that reiterated and upheld rights and liberty of man had degenerated into an economic and political institutions that had no VALUE, or UTILITY for it ! Thus, once again, mankind got drowned into middle-age's Feudalism like socio-political system. Individual and his identity and dignity stood extremely vulnerable to gross despise, abuse and even frequent violation !  

It was caused by the great error of attributing self-interest as the natural motivational energy of man !
Man  indeed is a Sovereign SELF obviously in nature,but was it right to interpret it as SELF-INTEREST ? Or was it better to understand it as SELF-ROOTED-NESS, in a deeper metaphysical meaning and sense ?This is the core theme of this discussion.

Difference between self-interested and self-rooted

While self-interest denote a central, physical-object like property of man, say, gravity, self-rooted denotes his metaphysical character, or connection.It is simple;man for science, is a certain manifestation of matter, sharing its self-preservation traits. He is guided by self-preserving, energy-saving and information processing faculties, so that he sustain here on planet-earth. This approach is mechanical and even mathematical.He is just another object among millions of other physical objects and phenomena in the world.

This writer realizes the difficulty for the average Scientific tempered modern man to accept, or even remotely consider propositions indicating a spiritual dimension of man, because word 'SPIRITUAL' bears a certain stigma attached to objective,empirical science. If men of science abandon this stigma and root prejudice, and look at spiritual-dimension with a true-scientific eye, or with a true-scientific-spirit ruled detachment,a great war would be won !

Science must realize that there are vast realms of study and great gaps between science and the typical God realm of religions. This realm is the yet unexplored, untouched, meta-quantum realm. Should man go on entangling further and further at the mysteries and chaos of quantum-realm ? Shouldn't she start afresh from considering man or life as the end product of existence, and treat physical realm merely as its structure-material ?

If such a great-paradigm shift is initiated by science and mankind, looking at the self-rooted-ness of man,separated from the present dogma of self-interest would become easier. Each man is connected with his existential essence or root,whatever it might be,directly.He is an OBJECT, an external-phenomenon, only in the eyes of the third-party beholders.He is ruled and directed, and his behavior controlled by Newtons's laws like existential DRIVES. Following link has a write-up, listing some of these very distinct drives that no open mind could refute their presence within: http://unrecognizedobjectsofthemind.blogspot.in/

Power states and science were always such institutions that preferred to look at man from outside, as an object among other objects in the world. Science and politics were institutions made by, and for nature and human-masses controlling and manipulating agencies. They were never made by concerned,genuine individuals for their own sake and intellectual-enlightenment.So, the pathetically SUBJECTIVE man unfortunately turned 'objective' in his out-look about himself, a shut-door phenomenon for ever !

The phenomenon of getting possessed by some or other SPIRIT of the world 

He would get into the mold of a mass-creatures, ie. one who goes with the crowd for considerable periods of time, but nature can not hold-back him from ascertaining his metaphysical self-rooted-ness, status and reality in existence for ever ! Many a times, individuals might go almost NEUROTIC, by allowing themselves to get 'possessed' by the SPIRIT of many collective identities, such as a frenzied gang of communal or racial haters and killers, piece in a violent mob often inspired by a Leader figure for unleashing atrocities on opposite party-men, or the real-time example of  Jihadists, inspired by ISIS propaganda ! This is a typical transformation of the EGO self-identity of man; he will have to identity himself with some or other 'spirit' of the world around, depending upon one's birth,education&learning, his immediate community etc. Interested among you may learn more on this phenomenon from dedicated study on this,at link: http://anatomyofrealities.blogspot.in/2013/08/thinking-understanding-it-as-internal.html

Explanation on 'self-rooted' nature of man continued....

The many revolutions, excessively bloody at times in history, that had seen world steadily getting-out of her socially and politically EXCLUSIVE ways to more and more open and socially and politically INCLUSIVE ways are plain,hard evidences of what has been proposed above. Individuals and societies could be temporarily held captives, controlled and suppressed for some time, but NOT for ever. His roots deeply extending to the not yet fully known metaphysical, or meta-quantum nature and destiny is a self-evident and plain reality, as American founding fathers had very rightly scripted in their constitution document.

If man was simply self-interest driven, he would never have gotten free from his animal stage of life, because, self-interest nature of man had NOT began from the time of Adam-Smith.He simply imposed such an attribute upon man, to explain certain economic behavior of him during the initial stages of man's entry into commerce as a full-time engagement, at least that of certain class of them.We have seen in one of the above paragraphs what is the state-of affairs of the free-enterprise dilemma; one multinational corporate can act as both a giant tiller,baker,brewer and butcher in the name of self-interest, and swallow the entire mankind, its institutions and governments, and also the whole planet Earth !. The 'invisible hand'  that Adam Smith envisioned in the self-interest-ridden Capitalist system, that he had thought would correct the over accumulation of wealth into fewer hands naturally,and ensure even distribution (egalitarian) of life-amenities,social relevance in human-society HAVE NOT SEEN HAPPENING during the more than two centuries of its reign !

Therefore, one is compelled to conclude that, self-interest in the sense Adam Smith had meant was NOT the natural propensity of man that would ensure smooth sustainability of human-societies.

The very SELF of man, in its very ontic-entity as a being, plainly derives from his perceiving himself as a REALITY before his fellow-beings around him; readers are invited to share its astonishing details at:http://anatomyofrealities.blogspot.in/.

Above arrangement is essentially similar to the inevitability of a 'civil-society' for upholding concepts like 'human-liberty' and freedom; such rights and status become real-world,effective realities apropos a mutually constituted civil-arrangement and mutually-consented agreement. An independent jungle-man could only assert and gain this rights by physically defeating all others.Similarly, for the ontic-visibility and tangibility of one's very SELF, man NEED SOME-OTHER, to bestow it to him under existential laws or scheme,as it was made clear at the above referred link.It was about this NEED to PROBE INTO THE ENERGY SYSTEM of nature that makes SELF and WORLD that we had appealed to SCIENCE in the middle-part of this paper; she need to abandon all her prejudices,pre-notions and stigmas about God and religion to lay hands on the treasure of knowledge around such themes.

Man is a unique DOOR, or an aperture for nature to reveal herself. So, she opted to evolve him SELF-ROOTED, and NOT self-interested ! We would invite serious and committed readers to read-through our dedicated write-up at: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20141107171426-97217672-how-the-pathetically-subjective-man-created-an-objective-world?trk=mp-author-card

He,by nature,destined to use his sense of Reason himself,independently gather data and knowledge about external world as well as his spiritual roots and then define his SELF in a sovereign act.When this spiritual nature stands restricted and disturbed for longer periods, nature gets restless, and then individuals and groups turn tools in her hands to crush the existing social-system and restore atmosphere for further free-development of above natural human-spirit !

No man can endure living perpetually in a crowd,without no option for some solitary moments every-day or at least in a week available to spend with himself. He definitely has two distinct nature, individual and collective. Without a healthy balance of of the two, his life gets non-aligned, disturbed and unstable like a free-radical in the sub-atomic world. 

Our system of present collective,( polity and political economy) though was exclusively devised and meant to safe-guard this sovereignty of the INDIVIDUAL, had severely degenerated around its primary motive. The system had turned owners,masters and wholesale-dealers of human-rights,dignity and liberty,where citizens were required to plea for their rights,virtually by evoking MERCY many a times ! State institutions had turned mightily powerful, equipped with the tool of discrimination in their hands, both for civil as well as economic privileges.

With our above knowledge about man's self-rooted nature, how could we link and explain major world events listed at the subject column ?   

What we could observe throughout in history is a pattern of rising-up, of a person or a community/group against large-scale homogeneity imposed on people, always followed by suppression of individual creativity and distinctiveness. Nation states originated when the hegemony of Church had become unbearable for many sovereignty loving young Royalists. The new class of entrepreneurs assisted them in building-up their States,thus posing serious threat to Feudalism, as well as authority of Church. It was a virtual collapse of the old order, and the beginning of  a new one. Cases of Frederick the great of Prussia and Henry-V11 of England are always cited as best examples of this phenomenon.

European Colonization was a mix of many motivations. The unprecedented spurt of human-creativity,adventurism and liberty of mind that had resulted after the collapse of the Church was one of the chief-cause.We know that many of the early settlers in America  were victims of religious persecution in Europe !

The point we try to highlight here is the irrepressible spirit of freedom of human-individual.No quantum of materialistic prosperity can stop this existential urge of man.

Capitalism was the real exalted celebration of the free-human spirit !That very special age of unprecedented human-freedom and the rise of human-spirit ( Enlightenment era) saw to it that,nothing should stop the human-free spirit ! Entrepreneurs were given all the support and encouragement to flourish their businesses, and share their fruit of success with others, in the form of overall development of human-status on earth; broad-roads,railways,grand-ships,air-crafts,computers,sky-scrappers and telephones - -all made possible by the surplus wealth produced by this class !

As we found as usual in history, capitalism too produced great discontentment in society. While one section in society enjoyed major fruits of capitalism, one of its chief resources or components- the labor class - started feeling restlessness.The toil in the factories, its heat and smoke, the life of workers in ghettos, the great inequality in the life-situations and social-relevance of the working class; all these factors constituted to create one of the great divide in human-society, ie. that between the haves and have-notes, or the right and the left.

As on today, the winner is the Rightists block, as Russia conceded defeat after the end of the historic Cold-war. China too conceded ideological defeat by adopting capitalistic ways of production and distribution.The chief reason for the defeat of the Left ( Communism)  was that, the Left had no alternative management and value system other than that of the Capitalist block, to run the factories and also their nations ! The life of common citizens in Communist society was worse than that at the other-side.

Though communism stands failed as an alternative out-look on life and societies,it is evident that, it was originated as a reaction to the evils of Capitalism.

Now, before taking-up its role behind the current central issue of modern-world, Islamic Terrorism,let us have a look the capitalistic-special values that spread all over the world,shrinking space for every other religions,cultural,world and life views.

The VALUE system that capitalistic-world has propagated 

Capitalism had brought to the world, in addition to the gross inequalities referred in few of the above paragraphs, few very particular values too; that of consumerism,the use and throw tradition, naked exploitation of nature,markets,communities, traditional moral-values, old-believes and traditions and whatever stood in the way of unbridled market expansion of neo-products and services.Capitalistic world wanted to convert the entire world into a one large-valley of consumers and buyers ! They smartly and even clandestinely worked for destroying old traditions and beliefs that prevented men and women from turning blind consumers of modern-world's trade-mark life-style products and culture. They wanted to convert all the nations and its people into one single religion, the religion of mass-consumerism. Life has no meaning but to live it out! One of our blogs specifically delve deeply into this VALUE aspect of capitalistic world:http://leadingdogmasthatruletheworld.blogspot.in/

The consumption of these products and services often required drastic alterations to old belief systems and cultural practices. For example, if men and women of a particular country or culture stick on to wearing traditional attires, or certain-food-habits, for the capitalist-producers, they are unconquered regions !

Many old colonies of Europe had succumbed,and tuned almost Western in culture. Or in other words, typical consumers and buyers of latest communication,food,entertainment products and gadgets, or as work-force in the many factories these multi-national corporate-houses opened in each such country. Each of these nations wanted to become like the Europeans, their one time masters, not only in life-style, but also in speaking their language and adopting their culture. This culture inspires men to unabashedly go for life in all its possibilities and potentials,with least inhibitions or baggage about any culture,religion,moral or principle.

This new capitalist culture asked people to adopt a new religion; that of PLURALISM and MULTICULTURALISM. This is an approach devoid of any one path of truth,but just consume and end life in violently relishing the needs of the body to the maximum. Danger of this modern religion ( pluralism and multiculturalism) is described at link:http://dangersofpluralisticworldview.blogspot.in/

Our communication with 'Associated-Press', (AP) USA

Is the subject of media's role in the world dogmatic, unquestionable and un-alterable ?
21-07-2015

To: info@ap.org ( Associated Press, pioneer Media institution in the world)


Hi,

". . . .it can maintain its single-minded focus on news-gathering and its commitment to the highest standards of objective, accurate journalism.
AP’s commitment to independent, comprehensive journalism has deep roots. Founded in 1846, AP has covered all the major news events of the past 165 years, providing high-quality, informed reporting of everything from wars and election"
Above text was copy-pasted from your 'about us' portion of web-site. 
We are a non-profit, concentrating on philosophical fundamentals of existing institutions, checking the contrast between their 'possible' and actual goals. We observe that, when Media stand tall as the all defining and all-expressing medium in modern-world, other institutions, traditions, meanings and norms turn largely depended upon them, for CHANGE, RE-DEFINITIONS, and RE-INVENTING. 
Truth and reality are what stand expressed, and the way they stand expressed. So, media being the singular medium in modern world that 'express' her, it define, give color and shape to the world !
Kant was very specific on the two world theory; the phenomenon, and that of NOUMENON. Phenomena, the world of senses, always depended on some or other stand point. So, Media being the exclusive agent of expressing the world, her ‘stand-point’ is extremely relevant to giving color and shape to world ! When she is obsessed with projecting the world 'objectively' a very subjective act as she only have the exclusive freedom to chose what should be expressed as 'objective' news/truth, a lot of 'subjectivity' crops into the act, even without her knowledge or intention.
We realize that what we have touched above  is a very complex theme, and an institution (media) that exists in the world for few centuries, may not be able to re-check and re-contemplate on such base fundamentals at this late stage. But remember, institutions and practices could be termed evil at any stage; take the example of European and US ‘SLAVERY’. 
So, this humble communication  is intended to knock at your supposedly OPEN disposition, to delve upon our dedicated blog-posts on the 'dire need of having a REINVENTED MEDIA' in contemporary world. The links of the said blogs are: http://mediaandcontentrelevance.blogspot.in/
We are a philosophical entity and initiative, so what we have communicated might be odd and not akin to the norms of the day ! But, hope you would call your minds and have a brain-storm session, so that, future of mankind get a REINVENTED media 1
warm regards,

Ps: November 2015: AP have not even acknowledged our above communication; no media person, or association ever rely or respond to communication from common-man, a clear sign of their lack of minimum social courtesy !
