- Christian leader goes saffron!
A former President of the Federation of Indian American Christian Organizations of North America (FIACONA) was arrested and charged with battery after he attempted to choke a demonstrator at a rally protesting the government control of temples in India.
Jayachand Pallekonda, 62, of 4110 Potter, Des Plaines, was charged with battery after he allegedly choked a demonstrator with his hands outside the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, 9301 Bryn Mawr Ave. at 5:39 p.m. May 6.

India Tribune quoted an officer with the Rosemont police, as saying that Pallekonda was released on a bond of $75.
In response to a phone inquiry, the Rosemont police officer, Sgt. Kania said that Jayachand Pallekonda was charged with "battery under local ordinance" and released on a bond of $75.
It is not clear if Pallekonda used the services of a company that provides bail bonds. Click here to go to the website of Bad Boys Bail Bonds, Inc., a San Jose based company, to learn how bail bonds work. (Full disclosure: SABHA does not hold any stake in Bad Boys Bail Bonds, nor is the company listed on any stock exchange.)
Criminals in USA are made to wear saffron jumpsuits before their mugshots are taken by the police.
Reward Announcement: SABHA offers $75 for the first person to provide any mugshot of Jayachand Pallekonda in a saffron jumpsuit that was taken by the police. If FIACONA or Pallekonda provide the mugshot, we offer to refund the money put up as bail.
- Rahul Gandhi's Roadshow a Smash Hit!
According to a report on Rediff, Rahul Gandhi's roadshow in Uttar Pradesh was a huge success.
Rahul's campaign helped party: Congress
Congress leaders rubbished claims by detractors that the Gandhi family magic failed to deliver.
Here are the numbers to substantiate the claims that Rahul Gandhi is indeed a brilliant strategist.
Congress(I) before the roadshow: 25 seats
Congress(I) after the roadshow: 22 seats!
- Maharashtra is in Central Asia, declares Professor!
According to Prof. Mark Stoneking, who has been featured on SABHA, India is part of Central Asia! In his paper, Genetic Evidence for the Demic Diffusion of Agriculture to India, Stoneking claims that agriculture came into India from Central Asia.
The data he used from India to arrive at this conclusion is from South India and North India. And the data he used from Central Asia? Apparently, that is also from South India and North India.
Genetic affinities were deduced from the frequencies of 14 Y-chromosome haplogroups analyzed in 583 males, including 71 tribal south Indian hunter-gatherers, 60 tribal south Indian recent agriculturalists, and 283 south Indian and 169 north Indian traditional agriculturalists (5).
The Professor of "Nazi Science" used "multidimensional scaling analysis."
This conclusion is supported by a multidimensional scaling analysis that simultaneously compared all four categories; it also reveals that recent south Indian agriculturalists are overall genetically more similar to traditional agriculturalists than to traditional hunter-gatherers (Fig. 1B).
- Reverend Jerry Falwell declared dead in HOSPITAL!
Televangelist and Christian crusader Jerry Falwell was declared dead at a hospital where he was taken after being found unconscious in his office.
The minister, who had a history of heart trouble, was pronounced dead of heart failure at 12:40 p.m. Tuesday, his doctor, Carl Moore, told reporters. He had been hospitalized twice in early 2005 with acute onset pulmonary edema, or congestive heart failure, and at one point was placed on a ventilator.
It is unclear why he was not taken to a church of Jesus for revival. Falwell would have been with us today if instead of approaching doctors, Jesus had been approached for a cure. Last month, Jerry Falwell wrote this article about the cruci-fiction of Jesus. He claimed that Jesus had risen from his tomb.
And as they are standing there "perplexed," as Luke describes their demeanor, they are met with another astonishing sight: two angels adorned in shining garments. The women drop to their knees; it is almost too much to bear. But then the angels proclaim to them the message of the ages: "Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen!"
Jerry Falwell was a Baptist. American Baptists support the insurgency in Nagaland where it is expected that hospitals will be replaced by miracle-cure centers once a Baptist state is set up.
- Democracy: Turkey style
Turkey is a stellar example of an Islamic country that is a tolerant democracy. It has once again proved that it is possible to be an Islamic country with strong democratic values.
On Friday evening military chiefs said in a statement they could intervene if the election process threatened to undermine Turkish secularism.
A brief history of important democratic actions in Turkey:
1960: Coup to bring in "clean and solid democracy"
1971: Coup brings in "guided democracy"
1980: Coup to transition to a "functioning of a parliamentary democracy"
1997: Coup shuts down the office of the Islamic Party Refah
- Indians vote for Mayawati, West calls her 'untouchable'
While Indians voted in large numbers for Mayawati, the West, led by the BBC and The Guardian, used disparaging words like 'untouchable' to describe her.
- Headline: British al-Qaida terrorists jailed for life
The press in Europe reports that six British citizens were jailed for life for plotting acts of terror.
"It was the first time since 9/11 that we in the UK had seen a group of British men intent on committing mass murder against their fellow citizens."
Yes, they were British. Really! However, they had family links to a certain country in another part of the world. (Hint: The terrorists were "South Asians.")
- Ramachandra Guha: Ben Kingsley was the real Gandhi
Self-styled historian Ramachandra Guha, who recently filed a petition in the Supreme Court of India in favor of the Maoists, emailed SABHA and claimed that the words uttered by the actor Ben Kingsley in the 1983 film Gandhi were actually the words of Gandhi himself.
Quote from Guha's email to SABHA:
Finally, if you will permit me to quote the odious Gandhi: ‘An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind’.
Those words were written by John Briley, who wrote the screenplay for the film.
- TV anchor calls it art, her technician thinks it is obscene!
The TV channel CNN-IBN suppressed the work of art of a student in Vadodara. The student had painted Jesus in the nude offending many Christians. While the TV channel's anchor called it "art," the technician thought otherwise and decided to pixelate the image of the work of "art" before it was broadcast.
Elsewhere, people were up in arms because the leader of a group called Dera Sacha Sauda had dressed up as Guru Gobind Singh. Rajesh points out to us that the Indian government did not protect the leader's freedom of expression as he did not meet their artistic standards that were met by the student in Vadodara.
