कैसे और क्यों बनाया अमेरिका ने केजरीवाल को सीआईए एजेंट

कांग्रेस अध्यक्ष सोनिया गांधी की अध्यक्षता वाली एनजीओ गिरोह ‘राष्ट्रीय सलाहकार परिषद (एनएसी)’ ने घोर ‘सांप्रदायिक और लक्ष्य केंद्रित हिंसा निवारण अधिनियम’ का ड्राफ्ट तैयार किया है। एनएसी की एक प्रमुख सदस्य अरुणा राय के साथ मिलकर अरविंद केजरीवाल ने सरकारी नौकरी में रहते हुए एनजीओ की कार्यप्रणाली समझी और फिर ‘परिवर्तन’ नामक एनजीओ से जुड़ गए। अरविंद लंबे अरसे तक राजस्व विभाग से छुटटी लेकर भी सरकारी तनख्वाह ले रहे थे और एनजीओ से भी वेतन उठा रहे थे, जो ‘श्रीमान ईमानदार’ को कानूनन भ्रष्टाचारी की श्रेणी में रखता है। वर्ष 2006 में ‘परिवर्तन’ में काम करने के दौरान ही उन्हें अमेरिकी ‘फोर्ड फाउंडेशन’ व ‘रॉकफेलर ब्रदर्स फंड’ ने ‘उभरते नेतृत्व’ के लिए ‘रेमॉन मेग्सेसाय’ पुरस्कार दिया, जबकि उस वक्त तक अरविंद ने ऐसा कोई...

In Pakistan, the number of deaths every year attributable to road accidents is almost thrice that of terrorism-related fatalities, mostly owing to lack of awareness about road safety and the appalling condition of road infrastructure.
The Global Status Report on Road Safety 2013 published by the World...

A village where Hindu girls wear 'janeu जनेऊ "
Patna, Feb 9 In a tradition that is more than four decades old, girls in a Bihar village wear the 'janeu' or the sacred thread, which is otherwise the preserve of men or boys.
Suman Kumari, Priyanka Kumari, Pratima Kumari, Kunti Kumari - all Hindu girls - share one thing in common -- they started wearing the 'janeu' after a ceremony in their village.
It is a rare thing to happen in a conservative and a semi-feudal society in rural Bihar.
"The girls are part of nine girls of Mania village, who were given the 'janeu' amidst chanting of vedic mantras at yagyopavit sanskar at Dyanand Arya High School," said Hari Narayan Arya.
Usually, this sacred thread signifies the transition from boyhood to manhood in Hindu society.
According to Acharya...
