Shocked to read the sudden demise of Sharada Dwivedi the author and diligent chronicler of Mumbai's history. She was one of the founding members of the erstwhile Bombay Conservation Group and author of Bombay: The Cities Within, a trove of archival images, anecdotes and data about the city. Author and co-author of more than dozen books and most of them on the city's heritage structures and institutions, Dwivedi released her latest work, The Taj at Apollo Bunder and was working on tow more books. The city of Mumbai have lost a stalwart historian who was not only warm and generous but also a knowledgeable source of archival data and photograph's. Since she worked her whole life to create awareness about its heritage, with her sudden demise not only city of Mumbai but whole country have lost one of the best historian who will be remembered for long long time. May her soul rest in peace .

2011 INDIA'S BAD YEAR
The year 2011 was a very bad year for India particularly in the term of partisanship and acrimony in the parliament where politicians from the various parties made mess of the house, lowering their own image and loosing the faith of the people. I appeal to all the political parties particularly Congress and BJP to put the bitterness and one-upmanship of the past year behind them and start the new year on a more positive note with co-operating with each other on many important issues related to the country and the people. I am not suggesting that all the differences between the two parties can be resolved, but asking for that they must come to the table and negotiate rather than oppose each other out of sheer cussedness to score the point. The Lokpal Bill is only one example of important legislation that can be brought into being if such a spirit of non-partisanship is inculcated which may result in that the country and the people will gain and the parties themselves will be gainers in the long run. After all everybody knows that nobody is permanent in office or in the opposition. It is high time all our parties must make the year 2012 the year of trouble free year in all aspect and work for the progress and development of the country which is the urgent need of the hour.

Offensive
Congress Party along with its allies in the UPA government must go offensive and attack Anna Hazare and his team when ever they go for Anti-Congress campaigning in five states for the forth coming assembly elections. Since there is open war between Congress and BJP in Rajya Sabha for passing the Lokpal Bill which has already passed by Lok-Sabha with leader of opposition is be having like Narad Muni between Congress and Anna Hazare and creating hurdles in passing the bill for his own selfish political gain. I strongly feel that Anna Hazare is not only agent of the Sangh Parivar but anti-national and wants to destroy the country for own selfish personal gain and such type of people are very unpredictable and dangerous and must be taught very strong lesson by the people and the government. Anna Hazare who is challenging the parliament considered himself as above the law must be handle with iron hand and Congress Party must teach him such a strong lesson that which will be remembered for long long time and finished him once for all which will not be tolerated by any other country in the world.

Anna failure
Calling off fast, agitation in front of Sonia Gandhi, Raul Gandhi and Members of parliament houses and the cancellation of Jailbharao Andolan by social activist Anna Hazare is the slap on his face as well as his team members. The reason given by Anna Team of cancellation of agitation is the chilly weather of Mumbai, which is utter nonsense and rubbish as the the main reason was the total failure of agitation at MMRDA ground due to very people present at the site which proves that people of Mumbai city have not supported his agitation and considered it as waste of time and money. The agitation called by Anna Hazare and his team is nothing but looting the public money for their own selfish political gain and intentions which has been exposed. I strongly feel that Anna Hazare who mislead by his own team members must retire from social activities and concentrate on his health and other social work rather than making the mockery of his agitation which is not supported by majority of the people in the country due to presentation of Lokpal Bill in the parliament. I strongly feel that if Anna Hazare wants to have agitation in near future that it should exposed principle opposition Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP ) which opposed the Lokpal bill and does not wants any Lokayukt in any states to support the corrupt politicians. It is high time Anna Hazare must stop this stunt and discontinue his activities to mislead the innocent people.
BJP's Intentions Exposed
Congress-led UPA government which wanted to present effective and strong Lokpal Bill in the current session of parliament with the assurance from the Opposition parties was lay-down particularly by Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP ) who did not supported it for their own selfish political gain and show their true color. I strongly feel that BJP betrayed the people of India including Anna Hazare team who were fighting for the corruption and Lokpal Bill which exposed selfish intention of BJP who wanted to save corrupt leaders of their own party particularly in Karnataka, with this betrayal people of India will not spare the BJP in coming assembly election in five states and teach them very strong lesson by rejecting them totally and make sure that they must be wipe out from the political map of the country. It is high time Congress Party must exposed the BJP in the eyes of the people and see that they must be routed in every corner of political field. It is hoped that people of country will realized the situation and do not vote for BJP candidate in the coming assembly elections and brand them as anti-national and opportunist party.

AGENT
As per report and information in the media that the social activists and Gandhian Anna Hazare is targeting only Congress Party for Lokpal Bill and the corruption without uttering a single word about sangh parivar including BJP which definitely proves that he is the agent and working on behalf of the sangh parivar and others who are associated with communal politics. He can see only Congress Party as corrupt and all others Saints, Gurus and Honest which seems that in this old age he has lost his balance of mind and need urgent psychiatrists treatment. His decision to go for three days agitation agains the government in Mumbai when Lokpal Bill is already presented in the parliament for discussion and debate shows that he is unnecessary targeting the Congress Party for his political gain. But the real truth is that he does not have any standing in the country and among the people and making only drama or stunt by making rubbish statement that he will agitate and Jailbharao outside the house of Congress President Sonia Gandhi and Congress General secretary Rahul Gandhi. I strongly feel that Anna Hazare who is old and sick and have been warned by his doctor must called off agitation to save himself to be fit in his health which is the need of the hour. One thing sure that even 100 Anna Hazare comes the corruption cannot be removed or go from this country where our system have become totally rotten and cannot improve in next 100 years. It is high time Anna Hazare popularly called the agent of sangh parivar understand the situation and stop instigating the people to revolt against the government and create unrest and violence in the country in which innocent people will be killed must called off his agitation for the betterment of the country and the people failing which he will be fully responsible for the disastrous situation and will have to pay very heavy price.

CRUSHED THEM
It seems that when ever government prepare a strong Lokpal bill for presentation in the parliament, Anna Hazare team is not satisfied with it and threatens the government about fast and the agitation. Despite including all the proposal of Anna Hazare in the bill , it seems that his fast and agitation is not for the strong bill but for political gain to bring down the elected UPA government. I strongly feel that daily threats by Anna Hazare to government shows that he is behaving like dictator and considered himself as above the law and the parliament just because he is having support of few lakhs of people compare to more than 120 crore population of the country who do not support him and his style of functioning. Since the situation have reached the saturating point to showdown between the government and Anna team, the government must present the strong and effective Lokpal bill in the parliament and get it passed as early as possible and despite that Anna Hazare and his supporters still try to go on agitation and the fast to disturbed the law and order situation than they must be crushed and handle with iron hand as such type of nonsense will not be tolerated by any country of the world. The urgent need of the hour is that there must be peace and law and order in the country and anybody who tries to create unrest in the country must be branded anti-national and crushed once for all in the interest of the country and the people.
