Greetings and Best Wishes to all for a Happy Onam!

My Best Wishes and Greetings to all friends and well wishers on Eid!

The recent developments in Assam and the panic return of NE migrants in other states to their own states is tragic. Even after 66 years of Independence, it is a sorry affair that we can not blend together as one nation.

I congratulate the MPs who joined in one voice together that India is One and that everybody has a right to be anywhere  in India. This has to be the slogan for all of  Indians.

After the recession of 2007 and its continuous effects on the world economy, it is stated that economists all over the world have started once again looking in to the writings of Karl Marx and specially the Volumes of Capital. The sales of the books is reported to have been increased in the recent years.

The Capital Vol.! was first published on 17th August 1867, 145 years earlier. Even after about one and half centuries, Marx continues to be relevent.

New Delhi, August 16: The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement:

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M)  expresses concern at reports of people of North Eastern origin leaving from certain places where they are working or studying and returning to their home states.  Such movement has taken place from Bangalore and certain other places sparked off by rumours or alleged threats.
Immediate steps should be taken to assure the people of North Eastern origin of  their safety and security wherever they are residing.   The state governments and administration should take prompt measures for this.  The recent violence in the Bodoland territorial region in Assam has localized   reasons and any attempts to rouse feelings in other parts of the country should be firmly curbed.  The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) appeals to all sections of the people to foil any moves to disturb amity amongst the people and maintain unity and peace.

I received a lot of SMSs today with Best Wishes and Greetings for Independence Day. I express my heartfelt thanks to all of them.

Many of these messages contained inspiring quotations. Some of the messages explained the diversity of India and many statistics in that connection. Some pointed out the task to be attended to for making the country towards socialism.

I appreciate all the sentiments and Greetings of our comrades and friends. It was a pleasure to read all the SMSs with different kind of greetings and best wishes.

Thank you all comrades!

The introduction of the PIN code by the P&T Department in 1972 ( 15th August) was a great advancement for the transportation and delivery of the letters, telegrams etc.

The PIN code was arranged in such a way that the Postman / Sorter can immediately find out the state, the district/city and the area in the city/town.

But even after 40 years many people do not use it regularly. Noting the PIN code helps early transportation and delivery. Do not forget to put the PIN code in the address.

My Hearty Greetings to all on the eve of the 66th Independence Day!
