Why is Neeraj Chopra's Olympics Gold extraordinary

Suraj has written a wonderful thread on Twitter explaining why Neeraj Chopra's Olympics Gold medal is an extraordinary feat. You can find the thread here.

This thread overviews the extraordinary performance of @Neeraj_chopra1 at Tokyo 2020 in the men’s javelin throw event - the statistics & history involved. 

It describes the pathbreaking nature of the achievement, with regard to both Neeraj’s own and continental performance. 

No Asian has ever won the men’s javelin gold before. 

The event has been the preserve of east/central Europeans who are built like tanks. Neeraj is only the second non-white to win it after Kershorn Walcott.

In fact the magnitude of the achievement is even greater as no Asian has EVER won ANY medal in Olympic javelin throw prior to Neeraj. 

Javelin has been the Monopolic domain of the Finns and other Nordics, with Germany, USSR and Hungary making up most of the rest. They also own all the best javelin brands, covered later. But that’s not all… 

Neeraj is only the second ever Asian to win an Olympic throwing event, after Koji Murofushi’s 2004 hammer throw win. For several reasons, Neeraj did better - starting with the fact that he has no sporting pedigree, coming from a nation with no pedigree in javelin whatsoever. 

Koji is the son of 5x Asian Games hammer throw champ Shigenobu Murofushi, and a Hungarian-Romanian competitive javelin thrower. In short, he has a huge genetic benefit that helped him be the only other Asian male winner of an Olympic throwing event. 

In fact, historically, only 3 Asian men have even medaled in throwing events - 

1. Koji in hammer

2. Iran’s Ehsan Hadadi silver in discus 2008 

3. and now Neeraj Chopra from India. 

These events are almost always dominated by Nordic/east/central Europe. No Chinese or Korean male has ever medaled in throwing sports. 

In over half a century, only three men have won the javelin event with their first throw: 

1. Hungarian legend Miklos Nemeth in 1976. 

2. Jan Zelezny, the greater javelin thrower ever, in 1992. 

3. Neeraj Chopra in 2020. 

Ending the competition on first throw has been a habit for Neeraj. In fact at both #CWG2018 and #AsianGames2018 all his throws exceeded the 2nd place winner’s best throws. At #Tokyo2020 his first throw was beyond the 2nd best, and his second was even better. 

This was despite the fact that the silver, bronze and 4th place winners all threw their season best throws - Neeraj finished nearly 1 meter ahead of them.

Fancied Johannes Vetter, the greatest modern thrower, struggled, after stating: Neeraj Chopra is good but tough for him to beat me.

The Tokyo games were affected by rain and winds. Planning ahead, Neeraj switched from his old Nemeth (from the company started by Miklos) to the imaginatively named Nordic Valhalla javelin earlier this year: 

https://www.espn.com/athletics/story/_/id/31010150/neeraj-chopra-nordic-weapon-breaker-storms-national-records

Nordic Sport (previously Sandvik) and Nemeth are the two most popular javelin brands. A Valhalla javelin retails for about Rs.80000. Technically unforgiving, it rewards perfect technique with high ability to tolerate wet/windy conditions, which prevailed on Aug 7 in Tokyo. 

Even before the Olympics, Neeraj was perhaps the most accomplished Indian athlete ever - the world junior champ, junior WR holder, CWG and AG champ - all by the age of 20. At 23, he’s among the youngest ever Olympic champions. 

In 2016, Neeraj won the world U20 championship with a WR breaking throw of 86.48m, which would have earned him a bronze at Rio 2016. However the junior championship was too late to serve as qualification for Rio 2016, so he could not participate. You can watch his 2016 throw here. 

Neeraj is now the gold medalist in every major senior level event he has ever participated in on first attempt- AG, CWG and now OG. He won all of them on his first throw. He has never taken part in a world championship, missing 2019 due to career threatening elbow injury after which Bartonietz and a team of other specialists had to work to build Chopra from the ground up.

Bartonietz has been with Chopra through the most difficult patch the young athlete has faced in his career, an injury to his throwing arm that ruled him out of action for almost a year.

The body is a bow, the javelin an arrow. That’s what Klaus Bartonietz, an expert in biomechanics from Germany who is also one of the preeminent authorities on the javelin throw, wanted his ward Neeraj Chopra to understand. You can read more about this here.

"He is a humble athlete, not making a big noise about himself,” Bartonietz said. “Already a CWG champion, junior world record holder, but very humble. Others make a big noise about themselves, but mentally Neeraj is very strong.”

Heartiest congratulations once again to Neeraj Chopra for winning an event no Asian has ever managed, in such a stupendous manner. Kudos to everyone nurturing this once in a generation talent, and I hope there are many more in future.

Also, many congratulations to the PM of India for recognizing potential athletes, giving them the training and the confidence to win medals. 

The way PM Modiji personally called to interact with each Individuals, teams and their parents, and coaches before they left for Tokyo certainly helped them understand how the nation is with them, watching, cheering and boosting their morale as they compete with the best in the world. 

Modiji also personally spoke to the teams and individuals after their crucial games to wish them, congratulate them and thank them for their contribution to the sport.

India can certainly expect more medals in future as sports is being given due recognition and the money is being spent on athletes and giving them the right coaching, nutrition and equipment to train rather than being pocketed by corrupt ministers and government officials that was prevalent in Congress Party's corrupt rule. See how in 2012, the International Olympics Committee suspended Indian Olympics Association for corruption, government interference and for ignoring Olympic guidelines.

India under Modiji and BJP's corruption free governance has come a long way since the corrupt rule of Congress was ended.

You can read how much money was siphoned in the Common Wealth Game scam here. 

The 2010 New Delhi Commonwealth Games (CWG) have been marred by corruption and mismanagement, which have skewed India's reputation as a nation ravaged by high levels of fraud and misuse. ... CWG scam was one of the biggest Indian scams involving rounding of Rs. 70,000 crores

The detailed preliminary findings included the award of work contracts at higher prices, poor quality assurance and management, and work contracts awarded to ineligible agencies. 

Organising Committee treasurer Anil Khanna resigned from the post in the wake of allegations that his son's firm had secured a contract for laying synthetic courts at a tennis stadium.

Among the alleged corruption and defrauding of the games budget. 

toilet paper rolls valued at $2 were charged at $80

$2 soap dispensers at $60

$98 mirrors at $220

$11,830 altitude training simulators at $250,190

Such was the state of Sports in India in 2010. Since the BJP coming to power in India, things have massively improved for sports in the country. You can hear about the change from Anju George here. 

A comparison of 2 disasters and their handling

Pandemic apart, we are also witnessing a wave of paid Congress trolls, who would have us believe that the BJP government is a failure and had there been a Congress PM, things would have been much better. Covid19 an unprecedented crisis. A pandemic of gigantic proportions. For the sake of argument, let's take our memories back to 2013 when Uttarakhand faced devastation due to flash floods.

25,000 people had died. Many were stranded, waiting for rescue or imminent death. 

For three days after disaster struck, no help came from the Centre. Congress was at the helm. Manmohan Singh was the robot PM controlled by Sonia #AntoniaMaino. 

After statewide protests and international media reports, there was an announcement, with zero follow-up action. Congress leadership left for undeclared reasons to USA and Bangkok. The aid to Uttarakhand was delayed by 3 days just so the mother and son can flag off the aid. 

When the mom-son duo returned, 8 trucks with biscuits and water, and more importantly huge posters of the mom-son duo were shown the green flag with photo Ops. The supply never reached the people since the truck drivers were uncompensated. The trucks ran out of diesel enroute. Drivers didn't have money to eat.

Fast forward 15 days after the flash floods and nothing from the centre, the rotting dead bodies posed a risk of an epidemic. The Uttarakhand government refused assistance from all states to hide its own inaction. 

What did happen later was that a company called Blue Breeze Trading Pvt. Ltd. was awarded the contract to extract the dead bodies. The company has only the famous Vadra family on the Board of Directors. The amount paid off to the company from government coffers? Some say, a whopping INR 7,36,00,00,000.

The only relief work which happened on the ground was done by the army and paramilitary . That too without any specific directions from the central government.  

After doing its work, soldiers quietly went back.

Contrast that with how the airforce, DRDO, railways, foreign relations have been set in motion to bring immediate help to the people. All ministries are working in tandem. A nationwide effort is being coordinated on a war footing to save lives of Indians. Government machinery is being used to save lives of Indians. 

Contrast this with how Congress, Gandhi family used government machinery for its own luxury.

For INC, the short memory of the general public is the only saving grace. Thank God, they are not at the helm of affairs. I shudder at the devastation and the scams which would have been caused even during a pandemic.

Never forget & never forgive such people.

The curious case of Hijacking of Indian Airlines plane IC-410: The Indira Connection

The Curious case of Hijacking of Indian Airlines plane IC-410: The Indira Connection 

The story goes back to 20 December 1978, when two friends Bholanath Pandey and Devendra Pandey hijacked Indian Airlines plane IC 410 from Lucknow to Delhi carrying 132 passengers.



“The Emergency” is referred to the period of 21 months from 25 June 1975 to 21 March 1977, when PM Mrs. Indira Gandhi declared a state of emergency across the country due to alleged “internal disturbance and officially issued by the then President , Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed 

But the real reason behind “the Emergency” was the Allahabad High Court verdict of the 1975 case “Indira Gandhi vs. Raj Narain” under which she was found guilty of electoral malpractices and election victory in Rae Bareilly was declared “null and void” and she was barred from the elections. To continue staying in power, Indira declared a state of Emergency in India, jailed opposition leaders, journalists, without any reason. Indira also amended the constitution and forcibly introduced the word 'secular' in it. 

Indira was held accountable for her crimes by the Janata Party government. 

The hijacking was carried out with the intention 

1.   to get Indira Gandhi released from jail while getting all criminal cases against her and Sanjay Gandhi withdrawn. 

2.   demand for the Janata Party Government at the Centre to tender its resignation

After a few hours of negotiations,the father of one of the hijackers arrived at the airport and talked to his son over the wireless and the two men surrendered themselves in front of the media to waiting authorities shouting pro Indira Gandhi slogans.

Indira Gandhi was back in power in 1980 as the troubled Janata Party coalition fell apart in just 3 years.

During her subsequent reign, the case against both of the hijackers were dropped and they were rewarded with the tickets in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly Elections.

Surprisingly, both of them won the elections in 1980. Bholanath served as a Congress MLA from 1980 to 1985 while Devendra Pandey remained MLA for two consecutive terms.

Bholanath unsuccessfully contested Lok Sabha elections from Salempur in 1991,1996, 1999, 2004, 2009 ,2014

Apart from this Bholanath became the General Secretary of the Youth Congress and secretary of Indian National Congress and Devendra, on the other hand, served as the general secretary of UPC.

Can there be any clearer and simpler case of quid pro quo where people who committed such gruesome crimes have been rewarded and inducted into the government?

This is just another way, congress supports terrorists and murderers* for its own vested interests. 

*(Congress helped Bhopal Gas tragedy CEO Warren Anderson run away from the country). 

Story of reforms and protests in India during Modi Government

With 1500 squatters kicked out from Lutyens bungalows, it might explain why its always Modi vs All

https://www.opindia.com/2018/02/with-1500-squatters-kicked-out-from-lutyens-bungalows-it-might-explain-why-its-always-modi-vs-all

Cleaning up that has happened in Lutyens’ Delhi since BJP came to power. In the first year itself, more than 460 squatters were sent packing out of their cosy Lutyens’ bungalows in the first year. Many of them had been staying there for generations and had started considering it private property. Some approached the courts with appeals to let them keep their fiefdoms. But to no avail.

Ajit Singh, the son of former PM Charan Singh was squatting on a bungalow. He was locked out and his belongings thrown on the lawn.

Painter Jatin Das, the father of actor Nandita Das, was enjoying another bungalow in Lutyens. Evicted!

The Print why Narendra Modi does not have an army of intellectuals defending him, unlike the Nehru-Gandhi's

The word intellectuals is a joke. Most are the lowest moral scums of society. Willing to sell anything for a gift in cash or kind.

By late 2016, the number of evictions had swelled to 1500......

There are only a handful of articles in the media documenting this cleanup mission in Lutyens’ Delhi. A lot of free loading journalists in love with congress gifts got kicked out too.

There is this absolute gem of a quote in The Telegraph from an unnamed Congress MP. 

“The Congress had a long tradition of not implementing the rules so strongly.”

Amazing suggestion

Looks like Lutyens Delhi was a rent free district of people who were supporting the political party in exchange for rent free palatial bungalows .

In the Congress Raj, before a case went to the Supreme Court, everything was managed .. Which judge will go to the bench and what decision will the judge give…

This is the biggest secret of the success of 70 years of Congress, that it has managed all the media and judiciary and ruled it. 

Retired Judge of the Gujarat High Court, Justice MB Soni, revealed this when he found that any petition related to the Gujarat riots which is filed in the Teesta Supreme Court, why does it go to the bench of Justice Aftab Alam only, according to the roster Should go to someone else's bench .. Then they investigated further and it was found that the registrar was ordered from above that Teesta's case should be sent to the bench of Justice Aftab Alam and for this the muster roll and roster should be changed. Then he further investigated that it was learned that Justice Aftab Alam's real daughter Arusa Alam is a partner in Teesta's NGO Sabrang and also the wife of the then cabinet minister and senior advocate of Supreme Court Kapil Sibal.

He then sent a letter to the Chief Justice against this and detailed the 10 rulings of Justice Aftab Alam and Justice Abhilasha Kumari, daughter of Congress leader and Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh, by elaborating in eight thousand pages.  

Then, this gang was separated from every single case in Gujarat

If Justice MB Soni was not there, then the Congress government had done its entire planning to implicate Narendra Modi

Have you ever heard Rahul Gandhi, Lalu Yadav, Sitaram Yechury, Mayawati, Akhilesh, Mamta, Mehbooba, and opposition leaders calling each other thieves?

No !!!

While some of them have been convicted, some are in jail, some are on bail and some are facing trial in court but they do not call each other a thief!

But Modi who has no official charge, no FIR, no trial is going on, no court has even ordered any investigation, all these leaders are calling him a thief!

Blessed Understanding and a sense of responsibility towards the country. It is a shame on such traitors.

A MUST READ

How will you turn your eyes away from this truth, think about the future of your future children ....Read carefully

When a Bangladeshi Muslim reaches India and wanders somewhere in the Ambala district, he has neither money nor public knowledge.

 He somehow reaches the nearest mosque and gets 100% refuge there, being a Muslim.

 Every district has a royal mosque to which every mosque in the city is attached.

He is then sent to the royal mosque of the Bangladeshi Ambala district, where he secretly finds refuge.

The royal mosque of every district remains attached to Jama Masjid in Delhi.

Jama Masjid of Delhi has responsibility for Islamization of North India. It has a record of every Lok Sabha constituency of North India and the Muslim population living in it - 100% true record.

Now that Bangladeshi reaches Delhi and takes refuge in Jama Masjid. Jama Masjid checks which Lok Sabha constituency of North India has less Muslim population. Suppose there is less Muslim population in Jhansi of Uttar Pradesh.

Now lets start the real game .. !!

Jama Masjid sends that Bangladeshi to the royal mosque of Jhansi district. The Imam of the royal mosque of Jhansi, with the help of the Waqf Board, arranges for the stay of that Bangladeshi and also manages his employment.

He gets Indian passports with the help of Bangladeshi local Muslim and corrupt Hindu leaders and officers.

Corrupt governments like Samajwadi Party give land to the Waqf Board in lieu of votes, corrupt municipal officials make berth certificates by taking bribe.

 Police and Intelligence Department officials take passport file for bribe without any further verification, and get other important documents ready, such as Aadhaar card.

That is, a Bangladeshi who was wandering in Ambala city a few days ago without any money and identity, has become an Indian citizen living in Jhansi district.

This is the story of a Bangladeshi… A large number of Bangladeshis and Pakistani tribal Banjaras come to the country every day and become Indian citizens with the help of Waqf Board.

The religious equation of many districts of India, especially Uttar Pradesh, Kerala and West Bengal has completely changed. Hindus may be a minority in these districts in the 2021-22 census.

Read and understand yourself and explain to your Hindu brothers to understand the real reason why the present Indian Government is being uncooperative in the interests of the country.

10 lakh poor have disappeared in Maharashtra by providing new Aadhaar link!

Poor people holding many lakh fake BPL cards in Uttarakhand have ended!

More than 30 million (30000000) fake LPG connection holders are over!

1,95,000 fake children who got stipend from madrasas disappeared!

Over 1.5 crore (15000000) fake ration card holders disappeared!

 Why and where they are disappearing!

The whole black blot of Chors is about to open… That is why all the thieves together petitioned the Hon'ble Supreme Court that the Aadhaar link is a violation of our fundamental rights! What right of privacy to thieves!

1) Company MD: Modi has closed more than 3 lakh companies fake!

2) The amount dealers were annoyed!

3) Property Dealer annoyed!

4) Brokers are annoyed with the online system!

5) 40,000 fake NGOs are closed, so the owners of these NGOs are also angry!

6) People purchasing property with No 2 income got annoyed!

7) Some contractors were also annoyed by being an E-Tender!

8) The gas company got annoyed!

9) So far, 12 crore people who have come under the purview of Income Tax are angry!

10) Due to the implementation of GST system, many people got annoyed, because they have come to the automatic system!

11) People who are doing the work of 2 numbers have stopped blooming!

12) The system of white to black has become completely corrupted.

13) Lazy government officials get angry because they have to work on time!

14) Those people who did not work in time got angry and believed in working by giving bribe.

15) A JNU student who breaks a free bread for 7 years for a room of Rs 10 and a meal for Rs 300 a month is also upset with Modi.

Grief is bound to happen, the story of country change is being written, which is being understood, which is not changing, #Mind_Gulaam of the brainless Yuvraj pappu, calling us blind devotees. 

The latest ruse are farmers. There are many evidences available where Muslims are masquerading as Sikhs and are trying to create unrest in the country. 

Truth is, that many of these are either Muslims, Khalistanis or Communists who are creating chaos in different states. 

Almost every political party wants Farm reform. If you see state wise, the story is similar. 

Kerala doesn’t have APMC.

Contract Farming executed in Bengal since 2017.

Delhi govt (AAP) had already notified 1 of the 3 Farm bills into a Law.

Congress had removal of APMC in 2019 election manifesto. 

Still, they’re all inflaming Farm Laws protest at the time of a nearly fatal pandemic.

Those farmers in West Bengal who took up contract farming have benefitted from it. Yet, the ruling parties of these states oppose the new farm reforms in public just for political reasons. 

Andhra Pradesh farmers got record prices for their products in open market. 

Even farmers themselves are demanding reforms so they have access to more avenues where they can sell their produce.

AAP and Congress both have this promise in their party's election manifesto. These reforms are a long time pending. The only problem is that just as in above cases, many will lose their commission as the broken system will change and will become more transparent.

You can see the manifestos of Congress and AAP below and the tweet from Punjab CM from 2016 asking for the same reforms. Capt. Amarinder is from the same Congress that keeps crying that Modi is a stooge of Adani and Ambani. The same Capt. Amarinder had gone to meet Ambani's Reliance asking them to procure farm produce from Punjab. 

Here is a news copy of Punjab and Haryana Farmers protesting and demanding that corporates should be allowed to procure the wheat grown by them. This news is from 2006. Finally, after 14 years, the reforms demanded by farmers are becoming laws. It is natural that a few middlemen will be upset as they will not be able to get easy money that they are used to getting till now. 

So how are these protestors having so many 5 star facilities that are not even available in many corporates and 3 star hotels?

As in any established system, it is never just one thing that is the root cause of pain. One more tangent is that the 2 states of Punjab and Haryana take up almost 80% of the subsidies while producing far less quantity of wheat. The subsidy business is so lucrative, wheat from Chhattisgarh is also procured by Punjab and sold to government officials in Mandis as Punjabi Wheat. 

The government Babus procure this wheat in Mandis at the MSP (minimum support price), which then lies in the government storage facilities and rots there.

This rotten wheat is then sold to the liquor manufacturers who buy it at throw away prices as it's now rotten by greasing the palms of a few government Babus.

These liquor lobby will now have to purchase wheat transparently from farmers directly. 

This is why you can see the protesting "farmers" having all facilities like Massages, Pizza, Liquor, Movies, Tents in the protests. Remember, the average farmer in India is supposed to be poor. 

The dark truth behind this is, many lobbies that are used to looting the taxpayers money for personal gain will not be able to do so anymore. 

MSP is paid with taxpayers money. The same taxpayers also subsidise the low interest or interest free loans to farmer which is inevitably waived off during elections. These are your taxes at work here that is funding this entire broker based broken and corrupt process. This process is being made transparent now.

You may wonder why the point about Muslims was mentioned in this blog post that is about reforms and protests. 

In any protests, you need a number of jobless people who have time on their hands. This is where the Muslims come in. They have a large number of people available and are well organized to mobilize them at a short notice. There is evidence that many protestors are Muslims and not Sikhs. You can see it here. A Muslim offers Namaz, comes out of a mosque, wears a turban and becomes a sikh. These are mostly people from Bangladesh that are supplied by Mosques to destabilize India from within. You would know by now, how in Kashmir, a similar protocol was followed where money would be given to stone pelters for protesting. A similar modus operandi was seen in the CAA protests where many were clueless about the law against which they were protesting. The taxpayers or a real farmer will not have time to indulge in these activities for a prolonged period of time as he has a family to feed. It can only be done by a jobless and clueless person. The MO is to bring a few celebs like Farhan Akhtar, Swara Bhaskar who are completely clueless as to what is happening and why is there a protest in the first place. 

Here is a video of Swara Bhaskar getting a dressing down by Rubika Liyakat on live TV debate. link

Here is a link to a video of Farhan Akhtar making a fool of himself link.

If you search on YouTube, you will see many mainstream media carrying stories about "Bollywood joins CAA protests" as these clueless celebrities try desperately to give some credibility to these fake protests. Akhtar's mom Shabana Azmi, also followed similar things where she would gain media publicity by helping to stall a few projects where the poor would get displaced. Incidentally, the same family has not said a sinworg against any atrocities happening against women in their own community. 

Now remember what was said earlier about eviction of media persons from government bungalows? If you join the dots, It will be clear as to why media doesn't choose to educate the people and bring the truth to them, which btw, is their duty, being the 4th pillar of democracy and all. A large number of Muslims, celebs, political parties spread the fake narrative for months that Muslims will lose citizenship when CAA is implemented. CAA is to give fast track citizenship to minorities of India's neighbours who are persecuted on religious grounds. It is a law that will give citizenship, not take it away. No mainstream media channel showed this truth to people of India to allay any fears. They wanted India to burn as most media are funded from foreign and are used to government freebies in Congress era. 

Even prominent handles on Social Media are lying to incite the public. Thanks to some vigilant people on SM, these crooks are being exposed.

Here is proof of the same. It is important to confront these people who love to misinformed the masses for personal gain. 

India is changing. It's high time India strengthens its archaic systems or reinvents them completely and make every sector atmanirbhar.

 Bharat Mata Ki Jai.
