Patna: Every morning a babble of voices breaks the eerie silence of a graveyard as schoolchildren repeat their lessons under an open sky. This strange sight in a Bihar village is something people have got accustomed to for the past eight years.

The Kasai Tola Prathmik Vidyalaya, a government-run primary school in Madhopada, a lower middle class locality in Purnea town, about 350 km from Patna, has been functioning out of a graveyard and the authorities have so far not bothered to relocate it.

How much Indian money is stashed away in Swiss banks???

Subscribe to Weird India Subscribe to Weird India in MY YAHOO! Subscribe to Weird India in MY GOOGLE! Subscribe to Weird India in MY MSN! Subscribe to Weird India in MY AOL! Subscribe to Weird India in Rojo!
Now it is an open secret that hoards of Indian black money is stashed away in Swiss banks. Whether it is corrupt politicians of India or all such businessmen or other such people who earn money by wrong means. Here below is a paragraph from TOI report which says about the black money of Hassan Ali Khan but also about the approximate sum of black money hoarded in Swiss banks by all such Indians.

"Pune businessman and racehorse owner Hassan Ali Khan was raided by the Income Tax department, Mumbai in 2007 and found to be operating a bank account in UBS, Zurich with a sum of over $8 billion. That raid spawned a host of investigations against Khan. The documents of the account were recovered from his Pune house. Estimates of the total Indian money stashed away in Swiss banks is around $1,410 billion."

Oh!!!! God, the sum stashed away in Swiss banks by these corrupt people is around $1,410 billion. In Indian Rupees it comes out to be Rs. 67,68,000 Crores or Rs. 67,680,000 Millions. So now you can see how much Indian Taxpayers money is stashed away in Swiss banks only. It is only a fraction of the total money stashed away in all different banks of the world.

Ghost attacks in house

Subscribe to Weird India Subscribe to Weird India in MY YAHOO! Subscribe to Weird India in MY GOOGLE! Subscribe to Weird India in MY MSN! Subscribe to Weird India in MY AOL! Subscribe to Weird India in Rojo!
KOLKATA: Sukumar Das, the inspector-in-charge of Khardah police station, got the shock of his life when he picked up the phone on Monday afternoon. The agitated voice at the other end pleaded with the inspector to rush to his aid as soon as possible. Was it a thief? A local tough? A fraudster? No. Ratan Das, the caller, was complaining of ghost attacks in his house.

Das said strange things were happening in his house at Midland Place in the Rahara area over the past fortnight. Often, family members saw household items toppling out of shelves. "One day, the door of our refrigerator suddenly developed cracks and fell off. We also saw flower vases trembling and falling on the floor without anyone even getting near them," complained Das, a clerk at Barrackpore court.

Soldier with bullet in body denied dues

Subscribe to Weird India Subscribe to Weird India in MY YAHOO! Subscribe to Weird India in MY GOOGLE! Subscribe to Weird India in MY MSN! Subscribe to Weird India in MY AOL! Subscribe to Weird India in Rojo!

Former BSF constable Pijush Kanti Bhattacharya has been living with a militant’s bullet in his body for over a decade but it is the pain of being a forgotten soldier that hurts the most.

Justice S.P. Talukdar of Calcutta High Court eased some of that pain on Thursday when he gave the director-general of the BSF two weeks to ensure that Pijush got everything that a soldier injured in the line of duty was entitled to.

Critically wounded in an encounter with extremists in Manipur in 1997, Pijush has been surviving on a monthly pension of Rs 1,913, far less than what he had been promised.

“I wrote to the director-general in July 2006 and waited a year for a reply but he didn’t bother sending one. I have faith in the judiciary but I will believe that justice has been done only after receiving my dues,” the former constable told Metro from his home in Adi Kasempur village, Barasat. He lives there with his 72-year-old mother, wife and teenaged son. Read more........................................Soldier with bullet in body denied dues
