Firstpost LIVE SCOREMUM 0/0 0.0 Ovrs No need for outrage: MHA decision to put Ford Foundation on watch-list is no big deal by Kartikeya Tanna Apr 24, 2015 15:16 IST No need for outrage: MHA decision to put Ford Foundation on watch-list is no big deal 2 6 0 AA Back in 1999, during the Lok Sabha elections, when it was apparent that the BJP may again win elections to be the single largest party and form the government, Teesta Setalvad and Javed Anand ran an aggressive ad campaign against the party. This campaign was run through Communalism Combat - a periodic magazine published by Sabrang Communications & Publishing Pvt. Ltd. Here are some excerpts from an interview that Teesta and Anand gave (an archive link can be read here): "With that (asking people to vote for a "secular democracy" to combat increasing communalism) in mind, we approached political parties that are opposed to the BJP ideology" "For the first time large sections of what had been the third front were moving in droves to the BJP. This was paralleled by the ominous and dangerous attempt of the BJP trying to communalise the armed forces post-Kargil as they'd done with the police. Sending rakhis to soldiers, draping bodies of martyrs in saffron flags." "Since the BJP was identified as the main enemy we suggested ways for other parties to work out their strategies. And the third concept was the ad campaign." In response to a question whether Communalism Combat saw itself as a political unit, the two replied, "What's the purpose of any publication? The media doesn't function in a vacuum. It has a political role. Communalism itself is a political issue [...] As we see it, the threat to Indian democracy is from the Sangh Parivar, not from minority communalism." In response to a question on whether Communalism Combat received foreign funding, Teesta and Anand categorically expressed their awareness about the fact that FCRA (Foreign Contributions Regulation Act) didn't allow a newspaper or publication to receive foreign funding. Fast forward to 2006. Ford Foundation approved a grant of $200,000 to Sabrang Communications to "address communalism and caste-based discrimination in India through active research, web-based information dissemination, development of civil society network and media strategies". The 2006 annual report of Ford Foundation can be accessed here. Sure, the political campaign Sabrang Communications undertook in 1999 presumably didn't continue in 2006, at least in such direct terms, when Ford Foundation gave it funds. However, the magazine Communalism Combat was still its primary activity. Why, one wonders, were Ford Foundation funds sought by a publishing company - something that an entity running a magazine cannot do under FCRA laws - is unclear. http://m.firstpost.com/india/no-need-for-outrage-mha-decisio n-to-put-ford-foundation-on-watch-list-is-no-big-deal-221085 6.html keka link: fikileaks, | ||

FF is nothing but a front end of CIA , NSA. The CIA uses philanthropic foundations as the most effective conduit to channel large sums of money to Agency projects without alerting the recipients to their source. From the early 1950s to the present the CIA's intrusion into the foundation field was and is huge. A US Congressional investigation in 1976 revealed that nearly 50% of the 700 grants in the field of international activities by the principal foundations were funded by the CIA " The CIA considers foundations such as Ford "The best and most plausible kind of funding cover" (Ibid, p. 135). The collaboration of respectable and prestigious foundations, according to one former CIA operative, allowed the Agency to fund "a seemingly limitless range of covert action programs affecting youth groups, labor unions, universities, publishing houses and other private institutions". | ||

Musugu lo guddulata em kaadu .. if it was just revenge .. govt ni aapedi evadu? Dont trivialize the issue or dilute it by saying silly things. The thing is Ford Foundation agenda has a pattern, and some of it is certainly undermining Indian interests. And govt is constitutionally duty bound to protect the country's interests.
