Every lives matters

This introduction about flamesofdissent was supposed to be published last week. But could not do so due to some permission, which were pending and some technical upgrade the site was going through. So let me introduce you to flamesofdissent.com, which published its first version on 11 January 2019. And just a few post so far and many not just misused it, they even abuse it. Here after it will be a e-magazine. And I will post at least one feature story a month and at least one post every week on Sunday. It would not have been a reality, if it was informed to all since the beginning. Anybody can have their story published on this website. But only the selected stories will be published. And those stores or news published will get rewards to its writer. The rewards for writers from India will be a surprise gift and those writing from abroad are eligible for cash rewards. Any such reward given is to encourage writer, for sharing their knowledge and it is not a compensation, consideration, wage or salary.


flamesofdissent.com was started for a cause. Let me summarize the cause;


In society there in inequality, corruption, dirty politics, economic imbalance and inability to afford law. Law has become a commodity or a luxury, enjoyed by only a small section of society. All this put together will create an imbalance in the society. It will become the reason for misery in many lives. It widens the gap between the rich and the poor. Many of us who go through such injustice will raise our voice. Any such struggle gains momentum when some politicians, bureaucrats, the police, media, or the judiciary upholds their rights. But politicians will ignore issues after weighing the political leverage. Similarly media and news agencies are controlled by the same politician- bureaucrat’s nexus. Media today are on a competition for rating. So flamesofdissent.com will continue as e-magazine, bringing out the true stories which main stream media ignores or refuses to publish.


You can get in touch with us on email, chat, watsapp and phone at any time. We don’t care about how big the perpetrator is? We don’t consider business revenue loss and political leverage. Some international agencies recognise such e-magazines as journalism. We target global audience and news is what makes people come to our website.


This site is for everyone. One need not have to be a member to subscribe magazine or to purchase merchandise from the shop on this site. But members will get to enjoy lot of features and offers. Both Subscription and membership is free. News, articles and stories published here on this website is to bring more traffic to this site. So copy-pasting will screw up the designs, with which the website works. Those who encouraging copy-pasting are the one who wants to stop interactions like, ‘comments’, ‘Chats’, etc. That way it is easy for them to copy paste partially and it will change the meaning and context completely. Here after copy-pasting won’t make any sense, because it will appear on Google immediately after I publish. And there are some who steal contents for Google ads revenue. Hence Google ads will be present on the site to stop such plagiarism. Plagiarism cannot be tolerated, because flamesofdissent.com pays to bring traffic and to make contents. My idea was to introduce a different style.


Any news published should have evidence for it and one cannot assume and make news. Some star activists who will jump the guns will taint the victims, at instances. For Example: In Tuticorn district, Tamil Nadu, a father and son was arrested for violating lock down norms. They died in police custody. Custodial death of a son and father is an issue which is not too small to be ignored. Politicians, public and media ignored it, but a Radio jokey made a video about the incident. The video became viral, but later the police asked the girl to delete video. And she did it to avoid arrest for spreading rumours and misinformation. Two custodial deaths cannot be too small to be ignored. But such ignorance, the RJ’s claims on video without any evidence will all go in favour of real culprits. Such news stories will not be entertained by flamesofdissent.com.


It is no bullshit written here. Things written here will change your paradigm, or it will result in a change of rule or the existing law. Government need not have to go after my sources, because you will see a ripe mango and the tree and the opposition will see a buffalo underneath the mango tree and I May see a buffalo, mango tree with ripe fruits and the homeless refugees on the other side of the road. And the government which claims that I am under their watch should understand that, it is other way round. My intention is not be a Julian Assange Part 2 and the vigil is only to protect me and my business interests.


My introduction won’t be complete without bringing in a topic, which is “Black Life Matters”. Gorge Floyd was caught by police on 25th of May 2020 in Minneapolis, USA. He was made to kneel down and he died in police custody saying, “I cannot breathe”. He had the right to live. The right granted by the constitution. There are hundreds of honest and sincere police officers who sacrifice their life to protect civilians. But few corrupt officers will taint the entire department. And some of them are brutal, barbaric, often due to psychological imbalance. This is why people demonise police, who are meant to protect law and order, which essentially means protecting the constitutional rights of an individual.


Many Americans said; I can’t breathe anymore during their battle for life against Covid 19. It included both black, White, Rich and Poor. They are people who probably had a great family, friends, loved-ones, dreams and aspirations. Many of them are saying good bye to their loved ones over a video call on mobile phone. Those struggling between life and death, do not have colour or race, it’s just life or death. Americans should understand that they live in a country where there is law to protect blacks and recurrence cannot be fixed by rioting, mayhem and commotion. America happens to be the economic engine of contemporary world. This means a rich and prosperous America could mean more business in India, china and the world around. And USA is more acceptable world leader than Russia or China. And unfortunately America is the worst effected country due to Covid 19.


Black lives matter moment was headed by gullible mob. People across the globe are struggling for their life without vaccine, food and oxygen. And social distancing is the only way to stop its spread. There are thousands of doctors, nurses and medical staffs risking their own life to treat patients. And the public’s carelessness is an insult to their service and sacrifice.


In America a lady police officer was chickened out from service for using racial rant while purchasing chicken from KFC. And there are examples of heavy penalties being imposed on officers for being “Racist”. This means, that there are laws to protect us and it is we who should learn to tolerate with others, without that immature colour attitude. Police are given the power to protect the society. But corrupt officers using the power to punish and torture civilians.


It is immature to create Ruckus on the streets. The show was enjoyed by China, Coronavirus, DEMOCRATC’S and Joy Biden. Star activists making some absurd statements encouraged gullible mob to vandalise anything came in their way. Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra who were vociferous about “Black Lives Matter” had nothing to say about flood in Assam, India. They also did not have much to say about the pandemic and its spread. These star activists will not dare to talk about “Jats” and “Patidars” rioting for reservation in Employment and Education, in India. Those who failed Lock down, failed to understand that continued lock down will choke economy. Failure of lock down intentions will result in prolonged lock down. And it is poorest among the poor are the worst affected. It was there in news that all super rich in the world gained more since the beginning of pandemic and the lock down.


In India there were several mass gathering organised by political leaders for their birthday celebration, Mass gathering for Lighting-show at 9 past 9 minutes. Migrant labours about whom, the government had no idea. There were various religious events in India which accelerated the spread of Covid 19. All this acts of lock down norms violations makes lock down meaningless.


"Black Life Matters" movement has resulted in sever property loss and deaths. Avoiding a violent struggle or gathering during this pandemic would have been a more mature approach. There is no evidence for whether "Black lives Matter", US lock down protests and presidential election campaign and religious events has helped the spread of virus. And we also do not know the extent of virus spread.


"Black lives Matters" moment people vandalised a statue of Mahatma Gandhi in Washington DC, USA and in London, UK. In Fact Mahatma Gandhi was thrown off the train’s first class “whites-only” Compartment in Pietermaritzburg station in South Africa. He was a victim of racial discrimination, which made him start his struggle in South Africa. Later he took part in Freedom struggle in India and was instrumental in liberating India from colonial British rule. Vandalising Gandhi statue did not bother Indians and Indian politics. This incident did not ignite black lives matter, in India. People in India are more concerned about Caste than colour. It differs like how? A devil in Hollywood movie will speak English, while those devils in Indian movies will speak the regional Indian languages. Are ghosts subjected to Caste, creed, colour, religion and linguistic ego?


It is a global crisis. The Communist party of China do not want to take any responsibility for sponsoring this crisis, which included initiatives like, hug a Chinese’. World economy is in turmoil and unemployment is touching the sky. China started funding WHO generously. And WHO started singing to the world, as dictated by China. China the originator of this virus is trying to stretch muscles. China made a huge contribution to WHO and wanted to act like a new born Super-power. A new born Super power out of ‘home made Pandemic’, which made world economy limp.


WHO’s inability to warn the world about this pandemic, then lack of information and WHO guidelines were on trial and error method. MARIA Van KERKHOVE explains technically how asymptomatic and symptomatic will be affected and advised on, who should and who should not wear mask. All of it went like, someone gambling with our lives


Few days ago, I posted a picture of a fountain pen I purchased. It was made in China. I was found of fountain pens since my school days and the one I saw in the store was a China made. And not purchasing china made goods from Indian merchants is not a good idea, because the goods are already bought by an Indian merchant and he is distributing it.


Goods dumped from China will help India even in the future. China will help India with technology for projects like train 18. A Chinese state owned company CRRC was the only foreign bidder for Train 18 project. India has reasons to continue good relationship with China to overcome the economic crisis India is facing. One could see in the streets of Chennai, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Delhi, Calcutta and tier 2 and tier 3 cities filled with street vendors who sell China Made toys, teddy bears, stationary items. They are attractive and the deal is; sub-standard goods for substandard price. But people are happy and it is the livelihood of many street vendors.


Even before we think of stopping those imports, the government should think about, encourage micro units or cottage industries to produce this products in India. Even imposing heavy t of such item from China will not help India, unless India promotes cottage industries to produce such items. Various measures taken by Indian government including 'make in India' are far from reality. Such measures only helped big corporate and not those who would start a cottage industry. We do not have such units, hence we end up purchasing cigarette lighter, made in PRC for rupees teen and its Maximum Retail Price is rupees 3


Banning apps won’t really make much difference because there both India and American companies came up with replacement apps in no time. India is far behind in economy as well as in weapons. China had robust economy till the Covid 19 outbreak and still remains least affected.


SARS-Cov-2 virus is from wet market, from bats, China hidden information, the virus is a product of deadly research into bats. Or is it China’s conspiracy to paralyse world economy? A biological weapon? Oil prices dipped after global lock down. China bought and stored oil in huge quantities. Was it China’s attempt to continue business and to have adequate fuel stock or was it a preparation for a war or emergency? And the

provocation from China in Galwan Valley after Doklam crisis should be looked at as a plan to realise China’s big "road and Belt" initiative. The "road and belt" initiative itself is to increase trade and to establish supremacy in Asia. Indian Air force showered flower petals on hospitals in India on a chosen day and our government spent thousands for it. Was this money spent just to encourage medical staff or was it a way of checking our air cover and air defence capability.


The situation is favourable for India to settle the boarder issue with China as much as it favourable for China to establish supremacy in Asia. Establishing Supremacy in Asia by settling Kashmir issue and indo-China boarder issue would help China’s 'Belt and road' initiative and has several other economic and trade benefits. It helps China to expand its business. On other hand Indian economy is going through a crisis and it started at least a year ago.




This was said by many international agencies. And lock down worsened in further. And no wise leader would prefer a war in such situation. The primary goal of India should be to improve and stabilise economy. And this should be the goal of every responsible country including China. And that could help India, China and the world around.

India lags far behind Chain and several other developing countries in ‘ease of doing businesses. The bribe culture, nepotism and some complicated rules which I call bureaucratic bullshit, makes it cumbersome to start a business in India. Single window clearance will only help medium and Big business. But it fails to cater to small and Cottage industries. Updating address on Aadhaar card and bank records or registering a vehicle or a property will involve a lengthy drama, which does not make any sense. India is a country where there are many rich and poor looking for a new business and employment opportunity. India building railway lines in the boarder and the India’s befitting reply for Chinese provocation looks good for now. But India should have strategy to deal with China. This means India should cooperate with China in trade and that’s all china will look forward for. And China will be ready to give up the boarder issue for now


India’s biggest ally, America ordered hydroxycloroquine from India assuming it is a cure for Covid 19. And the order was along with a statement of threat. It appeared like American life matters than the rest of the world. And India just followed the order and supplied not just to America, but to all those nations who requested for it. But it turned out to be a failure.


Later, President.Trump said that he is consuming Hydroxy, because it makes him feel good and he recommended it to America. May be the doctors in America decided that, Trump alone should feel good about consuming hydroxy. But this Incident makes all of us realise how much a leader could change, if it means saving their own country. And the same theory is applicable even in the event of another real-war. America and many other parts of the world are indebted to China. The Communist party of China slapped tariffs of 80.5% on Australian barley. This was done to bring pressure on Australia to stop Investigation into the origination of Coronavirus.


Those American who took part in any mass gathering like 'black lives matters', presidential election rallies in USA and people who took part in light party, political leader’s birthday celebrations and religious events in India are all against mankind, in their fight for survival against covid19 and its spread. Those who did not involve in any violation of social distancing norms are part of global human fight against covid 19 pandemic and its spread.




A way forward :


Global economy is in turmoil. It’s been a lot with lock down and lock down. It’s time to re-open with restrictions on places of mass gatherings like party houses, club, Weddings, schools, collages, theatres, live sports and music events , Shopping malls, restrictions on number of people allowed to travel in train, bus and flights etc. In India the number of Covid 19 positive were just 174 on day one of lock down. Today it is at 2589682. The world can reopen.

The answer for how safe it is to open-up? It is as safe as continuing with lock down. It is a human Psyche that some of us will feel offended and embarrassed if a security guard stops you to use sanitiser. But, if there is a lengthy line of people waiting for sanitiser, then most of us will go stand in the line for sanitiser.


It is safe to re-open if the government can spend on advertisements to inform people about using face mask. Many still chose not to wear masks while going out. And many among those who wear mask will bring it down till their lower jaw, when they talk. They include reporters, public figures, businessmen, politicians etc. And the common people are just following what learned people are doing. It is important to tell people that wearing mask means; covering ones nose and mouth. And face mask is must for another few months. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is the only way to be better prepared.

Good news is on the way with American, Russian, France and Indian companies inventing drug for Covid 19. Clinical trials and manufacturing are all on. And hopefully these vaccines are going to be effective. "Black Life matters" moment people should work with government to come up with an idea or proposal to end the issues of racial discrimination. India can continue with its dialogues with China for trade, while being firm on boarder issue.


A meeting was arranged soon after the attack on World Trade Centre in USA on September 11. President George W Bush and Condoleezza Rice immediately declared war on terrorism. And it was decided that USA will not give another chance for such incidents. And it is true that Americans not only killed Osama Bin Laden and but also spent millions to fight terrorism. Now it’s time to for the world to stop China from exporting virus to the world. Investigation on Chinese role in the development of Coronavirus and its spread should continue. And if China is found guilty, then China should compensate to the world. And the world knows that the China hidden several facts about the origination and spread of virus.


Next issue of flamesofdissent will be on 23 August 2020.
