G20 does not blame Russia for Ukraine war

G20 Summit laments Ukraine war, but avoids blaming Russia
 |
| Ukrainian Nazi logo |
On the first of their two-day meeting, G20 leaders denounced the use of force for territorial gain but stopped short of directly criticizing Russia.
The Ukrainian government [which really has official Neo-Nazis and is critical of the G20] said the statement was "nothing to be proud of."
 |
| Everyone knows Ukraine has real Nazis |
Few expected a joint declaration, not least on the first day of the Summit given the sharp divisions in the group over the war in Ukraine.
.
But Indian Bharati Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that the group had reached consensus on the declaration.
- [India just changed its name back to pre-colonial "Bharat."]
.
 |
| NATO and Azov Nazis pushed us and pushed us... |
The sticking point was the Ukraine war, as it was during the Bali Summit last year.
The Delhi declaration appears designed to allow both the West and Russia to find positives.
 |
| Zelenskyy is not Jewish, not against Azov Nazis |
In Bali, the members deplored "in the strongest terms the aggression by the Russian Federation against Ukraine," although it noted that "there were other views and different assessments of the situation and sanctions."
The Delhi declaration does not directly criticize Russia for the war.
But it does talk about "the human suffering and negative added impacts of the war in Ukraine with regard to global food and energy security."
- [No one dared call out the real instigators of this war, the USA, CIA, Pentagon, and many American politicians and military-industrial complex figures.]
 |

Ukraine, which took part in the Bali summit, was not invited this year, and its response to the declaration has been critical.
"In terms of Russia's [counter-] aggression against Ukraine [in response to NATA aggression and CIA/USA instigation], G20 has nothing to be proud of," the Ukrainian foreign ministry tweeted.

Brothers in India save birds of prey (Jainism)
All That Breathes, Goats & Soda, NPR; Crystal Q., CC Liu, Dhr. Seven (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
The story of two bird-saving brothers in India gets an Oscar nomination and an HBO premiere (Feb. 7th, 2023).
Then one bird just dropped to the ground in mid-flight.
"After I went back home, I had to Google it," Sen says. "What happens to birds that fall out of the sky in Delhi?"
"Birds are plummeting from the sky. Delhi is a gaping wound, and we're a tiny Band-Aid on it," says Nadeem, a wildlife rehabilitator and the elder of the brothers.

Oscar-nominated film profiles two brothers who save fallen birds of prey
Kamala Thiagarajan (Goats and Soda: NPR), Feb. 5, 2023

Wildlife Rescue is a clinic run by brothers Nadeem Shehzad and Muhammad Saud in Delhi, India, for injured black kites. Over the past 12 years, they've treated nearly 26,000 of the flying raptors. The brothers are featured in a new prize-winning documentary, All That Breathes, which was just nominated for an Oscar and is premiering on HBO on Feb. 7th.
Shaunak Sen was stuck in a traffic jam one evening in 2018 when he looked up at the hazy, polluted skies of Delhi and saw dozens of raptors, birds with brown feathers, gracefully circling overhead.
The answer led him to two Muslim brothers — Nadeem Shehzad and Muhammad Saud — who would soon become the subjects of his award-winning documentary, All That Breathes.
Shot over a period of three years from 2019, the documentary last year won both the Golden Eye Award for top documentary at Cannes and the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance. And now it's been nominated for an Oscar for best documentary feature film — only the second Indian film nominated in that category after Writing with Fire in 2021.
The film tells of the brothers' lifelong struggle to save an unusual bird — the meat-eating black kites that have made the smog-ridden Delhi skies their home...
The capital of India is filthy
 |
| Ahimsa (nonharming) is key to Jainism. |
"The scraps from slaughterhouses and meat-processing plants are dumped in Delhi. This, and the huge amounts of garbage that pile up every day, attracts hundreds of these scavenging birds.
They come from Russia, the steppes of Afghanistan, and Mongolia."
The brothers were particularly drawn to the black kite, Nadeem says, when they found an injured bird as kids but couldn't get treatment for it.
Compassionate Jains do not deal in meat
In 1995, a bird hospital run by the Jain community (see Jainism) nearby turned it away because it is "a non-vegetarian bird," says Saud, the younger brother.
 |
| Compassionate Founder of Jainism: Mahavira |
Jains, whose central tenet is non-violence (ahimsa), are staunch vegetarians. Their vegetarian hospital didn't have the capacity to provide the birds with their primary diet of murdered animal flesh.
Most people tend to misunderstand raptors, Saud explains: They think of black kites as vicious hunters. But they are also scavengers — very helpful with cleaning the mountains of garbage that pile up in Delhi, he says. More

India's Independence Day with Modi (video)
Video produced by Angad Singh, Zubair Ahmed Dar, Supreet J. Bargi, and Akash Bisht. Video editing by Adam Deniston. This segment originally aired on VICE News Tonight on HBO on Aug. 15th, 2019.
NEW DELHI, India - Chants of “Long live Mother India!” and “Down with Pakistan!” rang out in the streets, as crowds gathered to hear PM Narendra Modi speak atop the massive, Mughal-era, Red Fort for Independence Day.
As Indians celebrated the birth of the world’s biggest democracy, India, members of Modi’s massive fanbase hailed his recent revision to the constitution -- ending the state of J&K (Jammu and Kashmir)’s special semi-autonomy.
“I must say Modi is like a god to India today. Terrorism will end. The fact is that Kashmir is ours now,” Vijay Rashtravadi, a demonstrator in New Delhi told VICE News.
Modi’s decision splits India’s only Muslim-majority state in two parts -- and into “Union Territories” -- which means Kashmir will lose representatives in Parliament, and the central government will gain direct control.
The move has angered Pakistan, which lays claim to Kashmir. Pakistan’s leader compared Modi’s “arrogance” to that of Hitler’s in a tweet on Thursday (Aug. 15th).
“It’s my hope that Pakistan-occupied Kashmir will be ours soon also,” Rashtravadi said. “It’s my hope Modi will quickly make it ours, too.”
While people paraded in the nation’s capital, Independence Day celebrations in Kashmir’s capital, Srinagar, were orchestrated -- largely missing attendance by Kashmiri folks who actually live there.
“Kashmiris have lost 5,000 years of history as a country,” Kashmir University Professor Hameeda Nayeem told VICE News. “Overnight their identity, their dignity, their everything has been lost.”
The Kashmir valley has been under lockdown for 12 days, as the government moved an additional 35,000 soldiers into the region. Internet and communications are blacked out, opposition politicians have been detained, and large public gatherings are banned.
“This is all bullsh*t,” Nayeem said. “They are actually hiding a dark Hindu fantasy of destroying Kashmiri Muslims and reducing them to a miniscule minority so that they can always rule them and they will be enslaved.”
Kashmiris still protested: Many waived Pakistani flags, and some were seen unfurling banners of a local Islamic-state affiliate.
While India initially denied there were any protests last week, calling such media reports “fabricated” fake news, they eventually recognized “widespread unrest.”
Today, India announced it would start to ease its restrictions in Kashmir gradually.
“You are creating a dynamic which is pushing violence forward. Why is that done? That is also done deliberately to provoke this violence,” said Dr. Ajai Sahni, executive director at the Institute for Conflict Management, to VICE News. “So you create this whole demonization of the Muslim, which assists in your Hindutva [Hindu Nationalist] consolidation.”
Downgrading democracy is Kashmir is likely to push people towards an insurgency that Pakistan is accused of sponsoring -- feeding the popularity of recently re-elected Modi, who has styled himself as India’s Chowkidar or “Guardian.”

How people of Kashmir are reacting to India's crackdown
(PBS News Hour, Aug. 16, 2019) Nearly 4 million (mostly Muslim) people in Kashmir have been confined to their homes in a total communications blackout since Indian Prime Minister Modi stripped the primarily-Muslim Indian state of its semi-autonomous status 13 days ago. Civilians are not handling the situation well, but why hasn’t there been more resistance?Friday, May 23, 2014

Bangladesh makes amends after anti-Buddhist rampage
Nicholas Farrelly, Myanmar Times, May 22, 2014
In contrast to Burma, the government moved quickly to rebuild and restore Buddhist buildings.
DHAKA, Bangladesh - “Who did this?” I asked a monk [in formerly Buddhist now Muslim "Bangla" or "West Bengal"] on a recent afternoon in Ramu, southeastern Bangladesh. “It was the Islamists,” he replied. He pointed to the marks beneath the glistening new paint where a Buddha’s head had been cleaved off and rented asunder. When asked about the culprits -- “miscreants” in the local application of English – he gave me a glimpse of monastic resignation. “I don’t know. They are people who don’t understand.” More

World's largest election concludes: results

| "Tibet" lives on in Himalayan Indian |
Early results from the largest election in the world show that India’s
opposition leader Narendra Modi has won a landslide victory to become
the country’s new prime minister.
Modi is the leader of the BJP,
a Hindu nationalist party (unfriendly to minority Muslims, of which there are more than 100 million in India).
 |
| I live in India |
"This is the result that the corporations in
India wanted," says Siddhartha Deb, Indian author and journalist,
noting that Modi "is very a pro-development politician, which basically
means pro-business."
Deb adds that Modi served as the chief minister of
Gujarat state, where anti-Muslim riots in 2002 left at least 1,000 people
dead. After the bloodshed, the U.S. State Department revoked Modi’s
visa.
Modi has never apologized for or explained his actions at the time
of the riots. Deb’s recent article in The Guardian is "India’s
Dynasty-Dominated Politics Has No Space for Dissent" and his nonfiction
book is The Beautiful and the Damned: A Portrait of the New India. More

Nepal, My Nepal
Hscindia) The Mahabodhi International Meditation Centre (MIMC) is a great example of one person's vision: Ven. Sanghasena established the MIMC in 1986 to offer both spiritual instructions as well as desperately needed humanitarian services to impoverished people in the remote Buddhist land of Ladakh, India, which neighbors Nepal in the Himalayas. A dedicated team of social workers, teachers, doctors, monks, nuns, community leaders, and care-providers have created an integrated community at Devachan, Ladakh. More
...The Communists, led by two closet-Christians, Prachanda and Bhattrai, perhaps supported by the Catholic Queen in Delhi, declared that Nepal is a "secular state." The Vatican declared its secular credentials too, long ago, so long as one was Christian and paid rent to the Pope.
The Mafia is slightly different: they guarantee respectable jobs; modern day Marxists and the Vatican do not, not even to their diehard slaves. Nepal’s so called NGO brigade should learn this unpalatable truth.
During the ten year long armed rebellion against the monarchy (1996-2006), the majority of the rural population and many in urban areas supported the Maoists. However, when the Maoists captured nearly 40% of the 602-member Constituent Assembly, they wanted democratic centralism akin to the former Soviet Union.
The other 60% opposed it for all sorts of reasons. The State Restructuring Commission came up with two options. But they seem to be unacceptable to various ethnic groups for various reasons...
The Maoists received foreign support, funds as well as arms such as M56 assault rifles and Heckler and Koch G3. Rebels were caught by the army and released again. The legitimate government’s forces received M249 light machine-guns, widely used by US armed forces. The death toll from the peaceniks’ arms was 4,500 [government side] and 8,200 [rebel side]. This was much less than the relatively young Madeleine Albright’s “price-worth-it” 500,000 Iraqi infants, and later 1.5 million Iraqi dead, and over 100,000 Libyans killed.
Nepalese civil society
Who cares that civil society is out there to defend people’s rights when the price is always worth it? Dead folks do not complain. NGOs, modern-day vultures, complain only when their folks are dead or done in, in every sense -- culturally, socially, economically, politically.
During classical imperialist forays mercenaries went in to kill. But after WW II, empire was built by economic hit men (EHM). Post-1990 has been the golden period of sociocultural hit men (SHM) spearheaded by cash-rich INGOs and floor-sweeper local NGOs and Christian fundamentalists.
These are ably supported by the insidious, drug peddling, racist, “indoctrination centers [of] the Chabad cult that teaches children that the Chabad Rebbe is the Moshiach and that they have to do what the Rebbe tells them to do.” [4] Young Israelis are as much ensnared into cocaine snorting as the young Nepalese. That’s modern-day civil society. Hard drugs, sex, cult following, music, and democratic free-thinking are the opiates of the masses.
Behind this façade lies the globalist-corporatist agenda of enslavement and that is beyond the comprehension of the civil society morons. Nepal’s youth is done in. More

Seeing science through a spiritual lens
Amy Yee (Special to The Washington Post, Dec. 18, 2010)
MEETING OF MINDS: The Dalai Lama at the opening of "The World of Your Senses," part of an ongoing effort to teach science to Tibetan monks with Smithsonian help (Bryce Johnson).
NEW DELHI - The northern Indian town of Bir was greeted with an unusual sight when Scott Schmidt carried six-foot-long plywood sheets on his head through the streets. Schmidt, who develops exhibits for the Smithsonian, had retrieved the wood from the village carpenter and toted it on his head to the Buddhist institute he was visiting.
"I got impatient," said Schmidt. "I probably broke every rule of how a Westerner is supposed to act in a village in India." Schmidt was helping a group of 30 Tibetan monks plan "The World of Your Senses," a bilingual science exhibition displayed last month in New Delhi at the India Habitat Center, an arts and culture venue in India's capital.

Tibetans plan protests to "welcome" China
Tibetan groups plan protests to "welcome" Chinese premier
Hindustan Times (Dec. 15, 2010)
NEW DELHI, India - It's not just the Indian government that's gearing up to welcome Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao. Tibetan organizations in the city are drawing up their plans as well, albeit for a different reason. Students for a Free Tibet (SFT), Tibetan Youth Congress (TYC), Tibetan Women's Association, and Friends of Tibet India plan to stage protests across the city in the next three days, when the Chinese Premier will be in the Capital.

Students for a Free Tibet (SFT), Tibetan Youth Congress (TYC), Tibetan Women's Association, and Friends of Tibet India plan to stage protests across the city in the next three days, when the Chinese Premier will be in the Capital.
TYC members will hold a protest march starting from Rajghat at 11:00 am. It will wind up in central Delhi. "Around 500 of us will march under the banner: 'Free Tibet W(h)en, Free Tibet now,' " said Tenzin Norsang, TYC joint secretary.
Protests have also been planned for Dec. 16 and 17, but Norsang refused to give out further details. Tibetan poet and freedom activist Tenzing Tsundue will also join. In 2002, Tsundue climbed the scaffolding of a Mumbai [Bombay] building where then Chinese premier Zhu Rongji was staying. He carried a banner that read "Free Tibet"... More>>

Himalayan conflict centers on Tibet
Randeep Ramesh (guardian.co.uk, 9/17/09)
A resurgent dispute over an Indian state that China claims as its own is threatening to explode into a bloodier fight. 
There is perhaps no country more feared and less understood in India than China. In recent weeks New Delhi newspapers and television have been awash with stories about the People's Liberation Army crossing the Himalayas to daub rocks with Chinese characters, making daredevil helicopter raids to drop (stale) tinned food on hapless farmers, and trading gunfire with Indian soldiers.

India's Kashmir state government, apparently, said its territory was being taken "inch by inch" through such incursions. Ominously, authorities last week in Kolkata [Calcutta] impounded a plane carrying arms from the Middle East to China. While the foreign ministries in both countries play down the reports, there are concerns that left unchecked, things could spiral out of control. More>>
