Svetlana: Ex-Foreign Minister vs his two uncles

Brijesh Singh, husband of Stalin’s only daughter Svetlana Alliluyeva, was the uncle of Ex-Foreign Minister Dinesh Singh. His other uncle Suresh told Svetlana Alliluyeva  that he wanted to do something for Kalakankar in memory of her brother Brijesh Singh , and he asked Dinesh Singh  to accept at least a memorial room in college. But Dinesh Singh, disposing of all public funds in the country, did not support it.

"We would have done it ourselves, but we have no money," - concluded hopelessly Suresh and Prakash.

Then
Svetlana Alliluyeva
came up with an unexpected idea – if she stayed in India, she could publish anywhere abroad, her first manuscript “twenty letters”, and then she would not be a burden to anyone here, and could help all these people..

She wrote for the publication of “Twenty letters” to Paris Luba Krassinoy, Emmanuel d'Astier wife, with who was seen three times before in Moscow.

A few days later came a short telegram: "Yeah, maybe." Later came a letter from Luba, who wrote in Russian, that she fully understands. But no practical advice in the letter was about “Twenty letters”. Could Svetlana Alliluyeva trust the people they barely know?

 

Svetlana Alliluyevarecalled: Emmanuel d'Astier suddenly rang around her door in July 1962 he introduced himself, saying that he wrote an essay about her father Stalin and Svetlana would like to clarify with her some biographical information. After some hesitation, Svetlana invited him into her apartment and both talked for several hours……… D'Astier then wrote a lot of our conversations and repeating what Svetlana need most to write a book about his life. A year later he published his book "about Stalin," where I found (without attribution) my photos and stories, with confused names, dates and facts.

Then d'Astier was in Moscow two or three times, and came to see me. Every time after that I was summoned to the Central Committee and politely asked - "what does this Frenchman?" And do not believe that he just brought me a letter from the Luba or French perfume.

Of course, Svetlana violated the "party rules" without telling first of these visits. But she was not going to follow them. For them, hermits fenced in the Russia from the world - and especially for her - this unexpected and unusual opportunity to communicate with the outside world was a precious experience. I treasured it and believe in sympathy with the French writer and his Russian wife, although, in general, I was very little about them is known. 
 

My forthcoming book on the murder of Lal Bahadur Shastri contains much material on left leaning Indian leaders.

Memory hole: “right to be forgotten online”

People ask Kapil Sibal who removed the documents related to Lal Bahadur Shastri,and Subhash Chandra Bose? My forthcoming book on the murder of Lal Bahadur Shastri contains so many hided/removed facts? Why those facts are not in the government records of India and Russia?

 

Now Kapil Sibbal asked Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and Facebook to remove disparaging, inflammatory or defamatory content before it goes online.

 

Sonia Gandhi through Kapil Sibal is forging ahead with its plans to create a "right to be forgotten online" means Orwellian memory hole. Who wants to say Anuj Dhar that Right to Information (RTI) means Right to forgotten?

 

 

Why Kapil Sibal and his boss in government and in his Congress Party want to create Orwellian memory hole into which unwanted facts can disappear as they did time to time in the past? 

 

 

Kapil Sibal is a Supreme Court Lawyer. Has Kapil Sibal not seen how a court in Germany successfully petitioned to have convicted murderer Wolfgang W.'s name removed from the German edition of online encyclopedia Wikipedia, along with attempts to gag the US edition of the web site?

 

With numerous injunctions against online archives, the two killers were trying to achieve the deletion of their names. Such a deletion was made in the German Wikipedia.

 

In November 2009 the Federal Court the application of one of the murderers on non-mention of his name at the website of an Austrian media company before the European Court of Justice to clarify, among other things, the jurisdiction of German courts.

 

The Federal Court ruled on 15 December 2009 that the convicts are not entitled to remove their names from Internet archives, this would mean an undue restriction of expression and media freedom.

 

The attempt to prohibit the lawyers, even the American Wikimedia Foundation, naming the names on the English page of Wikipedia was unsuccessful - in the English article the names are still available. By seeking the deletion, saw American newspapers like the New York Times prompted to name the names and expressly noting that the citation was protected the name by the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States (free speech).
