At Jallianwala Bagh, Amritsar, India I saw this daily feeder feeding his winged friends. With the sun behind them the wings created a transparent effect. And the 4 pigeons (not 3) created the flutter of sorts...

AISA Shows Black Flags Against Killer Policies of Manmohan Singh.
on His Visit to JNU.
Violent Attack on Protestors Launched by NSUI-ABVP-JPF.
Under the Patronage of Administration and Police.
.
On PM Manmohan Singh's visit to JNU, students led by AISA today protested against the UPA Government's anti-people.
policies by showing black flags during the PM's visit. AISA raised slogans against Armed Forces Special Powers Act,.
the Patents Amendment Act, the police atrocity on workers in Gurgaon and students in Garo Hills, as well as the UPA.
Government's pro-US foreign policy and economic policy, and its compromise with communal forces. While AISA and.
other democratic groups protested, the ABVP and NSUI joined hands to attack the peaceful protestors physically, and.
the SFI-AISF held back from the protest. The police and JNU Administration tacitly patronised the violence by ABVP-JPF.
and NSUI lumpens. Several AISA activists including women students were roughed up and suffered injuries..
AISA's JNU Unit Secretary Awadhesh Tripathi said that "JNU students have had a glorious tradition of fearlessly express-.
ing dissent against those in power: this campus showed black flags to Indira Gandhi during Emergency and protested.
against Advani's visit in 1996. AISA has kept alive that tradition. When we raised our voice against the PM, it was no.
personal attack on Manmohan Singh, we raised our voice against.
- The killers in the uniform of the Assam Rifles, who raped Manorama Devi in Manipur;.
- The police who re-enacted Jallianwala Bagh in Gurgaon and watched as Dalit homes were torched in Gohana;.
- The police bullets which killed students in Garo Hills;.
- The mobs which burned Sikh youth alive in 1984;.
- The IMF-World Bank-dictated economic policies that force our farmers to commit suicide, that rob us of our right to.
.
employment, that reserve education for the rich and that hand over our land, water and key sectors of our economy.
to MNCs;.
- The killer Patent Laws that snatch health and medicine from the reach of the poor;.
- The sellout of India's sovereign foreign policy by voting against Iran in the IAEA at US dictates!".
.
Another AISA leader Sandeep said, "The UPA Government has not only continued with the NDA's economic and foreign.
policies, it is also protecting the perpetrators of the Gujarat carnage. Manmohan Singh recently refused to make available.
the late K R Narayanan's letter to Vajpayee regarding Gujarat, to the Nanavati Commission.".
Other AISA activists demanded: "When Manmohan Singh uttered pious platitudes to us on `Children's Day', it was our.
duty to remind him, what about the children your men in uniform killed in Kupwara and Garo Hills? Neo-liberal ideologue.
and World Bank pensioner, our PM visited our former colonisers and praised the British Raj as `an act of enterprise,.
adventure, creativity'! No wonder his policies and his police are once again bringing back the starvation and repression.
of the Raj days!".
AISA held that NSUI's hunger strike is nothing but a sham to cover up its criminal attack on peaceful protestors. AISA.
leaders said that they had tried to persuade the JNU Students Union to lead the protest against the PM, but the SFI-AISF.
had joined forces with NSUI and ABVP to veto this proposal within the Union. AISA Secretary Awadhesh said SFI-AISF's.
position was not surprising - for all their pretence of protest against the UPA, their parent parties were actually allies and.
defenders of the Congress-led UPA. It was only AISA and other radical groups who kept alive the students' movement's.
legacy of bold dissent..
The AISA along with other groups held a protest meeting last night against the violence by ABVP-NSUI lumpens patronised.
by the JNU Admin. and the police, and will continue the protest to demand that the Administration take action to punish.
those who blatantly attacked and injured peaceful protestors..

Imperialists and Their Agents Can Never Be Welcome in JNU !.
Those who order brutal attacks on workers and fiddle while Dalit homes burn know that they are bound to face resis-.
tance from JNU students - and this is something we in JNU should be proud of. In order to avoid facing JNU students'.
protest, Haryana CM Bhupinder Hooda skulked into the campus at night on November 11, without any prior public an-.
nouncement! But as soon as Hooda entered the KC OAT, AISA activists got to know it, notified the student community.
and began a spirited protest, joined by other students. As a result of the protest, which was later joined by other student.
groups too, Hooda was not allowed to give his speech while students told the `Killer Hooda' to go back. The man whose.
police brutalised workers in Gurgaon to protect the interests of the MNC Honda, and watched Dalit homes be burnt in.
Gohana were told by JNU students in no uncertain terms that he was not welcome!.
It is highly disturbing that the democratic protest by JNU students was violently assaulted by NSUI leaders, who threw.
chairs at the protestors and tried to beat them up. Hooda had apparently been invited by a group called `ARK Foundation'.
to a `Youth Camp' - in which busloads of around a 1000 people from outside the campus had attended. But it was dis-.
turbing to find that the JNU authorities and security officials seemed to have no idea that such a large crowd of outsiders.
was expected and had no preparations to ensure that violence did not take place!.

"Khaksar and Jallianwala Bagh Massacres: The Bloodbaths that Ignited the Freedom Movement"
By Scholar & Historian Nasim Yousaf.

ALL INDIA STUDENTS ASSOCIATION(AISA) 26.7.05.
.
British `Good Governance' of Jallianwala Bagh -.
Reenacted by Congress Govt. in Haryana !.
.
Come and See...The Blood on the Streets!.
.
Bodies of workers piled high inside Secretariat Compound and beaten bloody...workers forced to crawl.
on their knees holding their ears...Scenes from colonial India? No, this was Jallianwala Bagh reenacted.
by the Haryana police, in favour of the MNC Honda!.
.
Yesterday's savagery opens a window into the enslaved world of the workers evicted from the National.
Capital. Gurgaon is only technically Haryana - it is essentially a model enclave of neo-liberalism, where.
workers are literally kicked by foreign MNC officials; where they are banned from forming a Union; where.
3000 workers can be thrown out of jobs for daring to form a Union; where the Govt and police act to kill the.
workers and protect the MNCs. This is the blood-stained reality of Manmohan Singh's `Human Face' promise!.
`Congress ka khooni haath, aam mazdooron ke saath' is the slogan that comes to mind!.
.
British Raj - India's Tormentor, Manmohan's Mentor!.
.
This month, Manmohan Singh had sung praises of the British Raj and proudly claimed that our police and.
bureaucracy are the products of colonial rule, and that they `served India well'. Well, when the Congress.
Governments at Haryana and the Centre massacre workers who protest against MNCs and retrenchment,.
when the BJP Government in Rajasthan shoots farmers dead for demanding water, we see that British.
colonial training has indeed served India's ruling class well: they are happy to kill workers and peasants.
in order to defend neo-liberal policies and MNCs!.
.
In Britain itself, all dark-skinned, South Asian-looking people are treated as `terrorists' - an innocent.
Brazilian man was shot dead in the subway by the British police. In a mirror image of that incident, the.
Indian Army killed three young schoolboys returning from a marriage celebration in J&K. Clearly, the.
colonial legacy is not a matter of long-ago history alone. Even today, Indian rulers are playing `follow.
the leader' with Bush and Blair, enacting Iraq in Manipur, London in Kashmir and Guantanamo in Gur-.
gaon. On his US visit, Manmohan Singh thanked Uncle Sam for the Green Revolution, and revealed that.
Bush and he had agreed on a second generation of US-sponsored agrarian reforms. Well, during the first.
Green Revolution, US leader Henry Kissinger had said in 1971 that `What India needs is a mass famine'..
Today, we are seeing the bloody red harvest of that Green Revolution, in the starvation and suicides of.
farmers and agricultural workers. But our PM, all admiration for the `good governance' of the British, is.
still committed to these bloodstained policies dictated by US imperialism!.
.
Manmohan Singh - shedding crocodile tears won't do; it's better that you shed your `human face' pre-.
tensions. It is really shameful that UPA govt. at the centre has not condemnend this heinous act. We demand.
that the Hooda Govt., which has blood on its hands, be dismissed. We demand that the DM and District Com-.
missioner of Gurgaon be dismissed and arrested on charges of murder. We want to know - where is EACH.
missing worker; if they are dead, the police must admit to murder; if they are arrested, they must be released.
immediately. And we demand that the retrenched and lathicharged workers get their jobs back, as well as med-.
ical care, financial aid and compensation..
.
Friends, if the rulers of India are insistent on reliving the legacy of colonial repression and ex-.
.
ploitation - let us show them we can relive the legacy of the heroic struggle for freedom. We are.

approaching August - let us tell the UPA Government: killer policies of liberalisation, Quit India!.
