VERDICT DELIVERED - SLEEP PEACEFULLY!
VERDICT DELIVERED – SLEEP PEACEFULLY!
The verdict on Ajmal Aamir Kasav
has been delivered and the Indians can now go to sleep peacefully. But has
justice been done?
There are different voices
speaking in disparity on this issue.
Actor Rahul Bose just
yesterday on television has said that it is not for a civilized society to hang
any one. He said he disagrees with the laws of this land. This beautiful soul
went on to say, that the terrorists should be reformed not punished, the only
thing he did not say or could not say in front of the camera was that those
terrorists caught should be set free.
Renowned filmmaker Subhash Ghai
in his film ‘Black & White’ did not agree with me and showed the terrorist
reforming in the climax. Needless to add the film though appreciated by the
critics did not do too well at the box office. I was the storywriter of this
film.
Nevertheless, before we move
forward allow me to remind you guys that two Indian Muslims Faheem Ansari and Sabauddin
Ahmed have been acquitted for want of enough evidence. It goes without asking
that Ajmal Kasav and his gang of ten Pakistanis could not have succeeded in
their macabre action without the most extensive & active local help, help
given over months. They sheltered, provided the logistics and actively helped
the terrorists, the only thing they did not do was pull the trigger. These two
have walked free and left the police red faced. Whom do we blame for this
blunder? Did the prosecution fail in preparing a watertight case against the
two concerned or did the Mumbai police fail us yet again?
Just blaming the police or
the prosecution would not be totally right. To put the picture in the right
perspective, right since 1993, these terrorists have repeatedly and ruthlessly massacred
thousands of Indians and yet not a single terrorist has been brought to justice
in the real term or hanged. This speaks a lot about our politicians.
On the other hand, I would
like to ask . . .
Will Manmohan Singh still
want to shake hands with the Pakistanis?
Should Times of India
continue with its “Aman Ki Asha” campaign? (Incidentally, why are they not
carrying it today?)
Would Shah Rukh Khan still bat
for
The sentiments and emotions
of the majority of Indian citizens should be respected. Kavita Karkare wife of
the slain hero Hemant Karkare says that Kasab should not be given a chance to
go to the Supreme Court and he should be executed. She is not alone.
Even as you are reading my
article thousands of Ajmal Aamir Kasavs are being prepared, trained in areas
known and unknown to us. Some of them may already be among us.
Unfortunately the Con gress –
NCP government whose parties are headed and controlled by the Gandhi family and
Sharad Pawar have not taken the threat to our lives seriously, by not taking
action on the brains behind terrorism they have been putting the lives of our
brothers, sisters, and parents at a grave risk.
A small 11-year-old girl
Devika was shot in the leg by the Pakistanis at the CST railway station, she
even today needs crutches to walk. If she can boldly come forward before the
court and the media to identify the killer Kasav, why are our politicians
lacking the same zeal and enthusiasm to put a final stop to this menance? I ponder;
do they have a hidden agenda? OR are they hiding something from us?
When we select leaders who
treat the police as their private army, when we elect leaders for whom the
investigative agencies are tools to fix rivals or let off allies, we should not
expect the police and agencies to suddenly turn around and seize the
terrorists.
Remember that nothing much
can be achieved unless every politician is made answerable to the public and
given stringent punishment if he/she has failed as the minister. We can never
have a first rate commando force as long as we have third-rate politicians. We cannot
have defense and intelligence personnel who will forestall the terrorists and
courts that will let them off or enable them to live off our taxpayer’s money
for years.
The parliament of
Yet the parrots of the Con
gress party like Manish Tiwari, Manu Sanghvi and Jayanti Natrajan are ever
ready with a thousand excuses, hiding behind the nuances of the legal system to
hoodwink the gullible Indian citizens.
The BJP was no better when
they were in power.
The reputed magazine ‘India
Today’ about a year back had come out with a shocking issue titled ‘Impotent
India’. I myself had also written an article with the same title. If after the
latest verdict Afzal Guru and Ajmal Kasab, are not hanged what should be the
title of my next article?
The verdict is not all that
important as the execution of it is. If the terrorists are not hanged then who
will speak for the victims of terrorism? Is this a government of the people,
for the people, by the people OR . . .
Why is the present ruling
government reluctant to execute the terrorists? Why are they hiding behind the
office of the President?
For a violent problem, there
can never be a non-violent solution. Diplomacy and the TOI sponsored ‘Aman Ki
Asha’ are nothing but tools to keep conning the Indians for a longer time, right
till it becomes too late to act.
Fifty-year-old Jamuna Waghela
recalls the horror of 26/11; below I reproduce some paragraphs, which I have
copied from the ‘Times Now’ site.
"At 10 pm, I was standing outside my house
while my son and grandson were having dinner. Two persons (Kasav and Ismail)
came dashing down the lane outside and one of them, later identified as Ajmal
Kasav, stopped near my house when I asked him what he wanted," recounted
Jamuna.
"His associate immediately opened fire at me
but luckily the bullets did not hit me. I hid behind a hut as Kasav walked up
to my son and asked for water," said Jamuna, whose husband Budhai (60) too
is a sweeper at GT hospital.
"I could see my son offer Kasav a glass of
water with trembling hands. The terrorist gulped it down and coolly shot at my
son who slumped to the ground as I watched helplessly in horror," she said
clutching Thakur's photo.
She, however, thanks God for the little mercy
shown to her. "Kasav did not see my grandson or he would have got killed
too.
Today thanks to the
‘Sickularists’ the law of the jungle pervades in all our cities and towns hence
The Wolves Rule Not the Sheep.
Before concluding, I would suggest
that all those who have become the victims of terrorism since 1993 Mumbai serial
bomb attacks to the Pune bakery bomb attack in 2010 should try to contact each
other and come together on a common platform so as to put pressure on the
present Con – NCP govt to hang all the terrorists immediately. This could be a
small but constructive step forward, which could be of immense help to the
country and its citizens in the days to come.
The concerned citizens will
have to come out and be more vocal, you may have to shout, scream and howl to
be heard.
Nearly seventy thousand have
been killed by terrorism and we are still debating whether we should have more
stringent laws like MOCCA or POTA. Seventy thousand killed and we are still
debating if we should execute the sentenced terrorists or not. Seventy thousand
killed and yet the Times Of India newspaper has the audacity to campaign in
support of
Were Sandeep Unikrishnan,
Gajendra Singh Bisht and Tukaram Omble stupid to sacrifice their lives for us
Indians? Ofcource they were not. They are the real heroes and brave martyrs.
Yet the present ruling govt and sections of the media could be perceived as
sending a different message. For how long will our security forces be used as
sacrificial goats?
Though the present govt is bent on administering us with different sedatives the time is not right to sleep peacefully. For all you know the bed in which we are fast asleep could turn . . . .

THE CON IS ON - 5-
THE CON IS ON – 5-
The worms have started to crawl out of the IPL can; at least
as of now. Believe me I am not over reacting when I say that the Congress – NCP
politicians from Maharashtra could be the biggest threat not only to
As I said in my earlier blogs – the public does not know how far reaching the ramifications are. In my latest ‘The Con Is On – 5’ I reiterate that the people of this country will never ever get to see the real ugly picture of the Indian politicians - businessmen – industrialists - film stars - underworld nexus. Yet this article could be an honest attempt to arouse the civilian population, so as they have a constructive action plan to stop the ride that they have been taken for, otherwise this tempting ride will only stop at the gates of doom.
IPL took birth in the year 2008, the Congress was in power.
TO START WITH –
What is the minister for agriculture Sharad Pawar doing in cricket?
Especially at a time when thousands of farmers are, committing suicide and children are dying because of malnutrition.
It has been reported that Pawar is one of the suspects involved in the sugar scam.
Abdul Karim Telgi had named Sharad Pawar in the Rupees 2250 Crore fake stamp paper fraud.
Why was R R Patil brought back as the home minister of
Sharad Pawar was
sworn in as chief minister for his fourth and most controversial term on March
6, 1993. Almost immediately, Mumbai, the financial capital of
The Deputy Commissioner of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, G.R. Khairnar made a series of accusations against Pawar for being involved in corruption and protecting the criminals. Though Khairnar could not produce any evidence in support of his claims, it inevitably affected Pawar's popularity.
Recently Hasan Ali Khan who tops the list of tax defaulters with outstanding arrears of more than Rupees fifty thousand crores was allowed to get away with his ill-gotten money worth more than thousands of crores.
Why has Praful Patel being retained as the aviation minister
when Air
Praful Patel’s money is rumored to be invested in Chennai Super Kings.
Chagan Bujbal is also said to have a stake in the IPL though not directly.
ALL THIS AND MORE. .
In a brash and vulgar display of wealth at the IPL matches Vijay Mallaya, owner of Royal Challengers Bangalore is seen watching the match with a glass of wine or beer in his hand. At other times the Bollywood heart throb Katrina Kaif has been seen sitting on Mallya’s lap.
King Fisher Air Lines was in a huge debt some time back but today after IPL and world cup it is said that most of its debts have been cleared off.
Was IPL created for match fixing and betting?
A BIT MORE ….
Rajiv Shukla who was just an ordinary journalist eight years back after joining the Congress party has become the biggest power broker and is always seen at these cricketing tamashas.
Shukla is known to be close to the Gandhi family and to Shah Rukh Khan, owner of Kolkatta Night Riders. Shah Rukh is also said to be close to Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi.
It is also said that the funding for Shah Rukh Khan’s KKR is
from the Middle East via Hong Kong, no wonder Shah Rukh Khan has been given a bungalow
free of charge in
Shah Rukh need not worry, as he is sure to be bailed out because of his close proximity to the Gandhi family scions.
Another route used for money laundering is
Sunil Tatkare the finance minister of
A C Muthiah former cricket board president has said that the
Board of Control for Cricket (BCCI) in
AND MORE .
It is also rumored that Shashi Tharoor’s girl friend Sunanda Pushkar was introduced to Tharoor by a notorious Dawood front man Sunny Varkey. The security implications are thus loaded.
Why has IPL been given a tax exemption and not the film industry by the Maharashtra Govt?
Why does Sharad Pawar always insist on getting the home ministry and aviation ministry for his NCP party and how come he always gets it.
Now it seems that the central government is on a witch-hunt attempting to salvage its reputation by putting the onus on Lalit Modi so as to punish him for having the guts to lay his finger on Congress man Tharoor there by giving this saga a triggering affect. and putting the Con gress party in a very embarrassing position.
No real action can be taken against Lalit Modi, as he knows a bit too much about the NCP ministers, some Congress leaders involvement as also of BJP’s Vasundhra Raje.
We poor Indians if and when we fail to make the payment of even a few EMI’s the bank agents reach our home but the ministers of aviation and agriculture are basking in the sun even as their ministries incur losses of millions of Rupees of the Indian tax payers money The steady and unending suicides of our poor farmers don’t move any one to action.
SOME MORE POINTS TO PONDER OVER.. .
How did the
How come 80% of all IPL matches have been held in
What exactly used to happen at the IPL night parties where
female models from
More than twenty-six cricketers are reported to be involved in the match fixing – betting racket.
National carriers are diverted at random not once but twice.
Is N Srinivasan a front man of some big time union minister?
COMING DOWN TO THE BRASS TRACKS.
If the Congress party really has the interest of the country and its citizens at heart then they should immediately have a Narco Analysis Test done on Sharad Pawar, Praful Patel, Shashi Tharoor, Sunanda Pushkar, Vijay Mallya, Shah Rukh Khan, Chagan Bhujbal, Lalit Modi, Rajiv Shukla, Srinivasan (BCCI) etc. WILL THEY? . . . Or is the Congress party scared of Sharad Pawar? If yes Why?
Apart from a Narco Test on them, there should be a Joint Parliamentary Committee to probe this shameful MUCK called IPL. Actually speaking there should be no more drama of probes and enquiries, the villains should be straight away locked up behind bars and the keys thrown in to the sea.
They have betrayed the people of
Our intelligence agencies, armed forces and police could
tomorrow have all the right to introspect and retrospect as to, should they lay
their life for the country. Or be better off financially by getting bribed,
caring two hoots for the safety and security of its civilian population. The
IPL tamasha could dampen their morale. The day they do this, doomsday would not
be too far away for the innocent and the not so innocent citizens of
Looking at the state of the country I would like to ask – Have we become a country of frauds, scamster’s and CON’S.
OR
ARE WE BEEN CONNED? Conned since the inception of IPL two years back or since the last sixty-three years.
Either way the con is on.

THE CON IS ON -4
Every kid on the block knows there is much more to the
Shashi Tharoor – Lalit Modi war. But the general public does not know how far
reaching the ramifications are. I doubt the not so innocent populace of this
entity called
Inspite of the embarrassing controversy the congress party seems to be reluctant to write off Tharoor. WHY?
Some in the Congress party feel Sonia Gandhi could feel
indebted to Tharoor for protecting the Congress from
Now what is worrying the congress leadership is the
possibility of more revelations about Tharoor’s in this murky drama. A UAE
angle is also reported to be very much there seeking to link Sheikh Naif a
supposed cricket promoter to the
At a time when Shashi Tharoor should be punished the
congress big wigs are busy trying to salvage the battering Shashi Tharoors
image has taken. Obviously there is more to it than meets the eye?
I wonder why the congress party is not punishing their party workers and co partners who have failed in the duties assigned to them. Remember the then home minister Patil. Recently the old stalwart of the con party N D Tiwari was in the news for all the wrong reasons – his sleazy video was out cavorting with some prostitutes. Two ministers of the NCP Party which are the partners of the Congress govt in ruling India for more than six years now have failed miserably as agriculture and aviation ministers are still very much there Inspite of rising food prices or efficiently making Air India and Indian Airlines total loosing propositions to the tune of thousands of crores. Don’t you think such people ought to be punished? As a face, saving device at the utmost Tharoor might be shifted to another coveted post.
They never will be for obvious and logical reasons. The parampara of the congress has today become its deep-rooted culture.
There is another angle to this story. It is
no secret that Rahul Gandhi and the Congress had viewed IPL as the right
platform for promoting the scion of the Gandhi Family and to reach out to the
younger voters.Lalit Modi’s pro BJP connections and his refusal to play ball by
giving advertisement space to Congress prior to IPL 2 resulted in Congress
flexing its muscles and trying to torpedoed IPL last time around. Modi had a
Plan B up his sleeves, refused to be cowed down, took IPL 2 to
The income tax raids have become an
important weapon of the congress party big wigs to intimidate people who do not
conform to their guidelines. No wonder Lalit Modi’s office was raided after all
he had dared to take on a minister of the congress party. This tax raid can
also serve as a lesson for others not to confront the ruling party members.
Looks like the party and government is arm-twisting
Modi now using the Tharoor issue as a cover. It is interesting to note that the
focus has shifted from Tharoors impropriety or corruption to IPLs corruption.
The accused has become the victim. The accused is no angel helped too. Modi
being in the helm and his ability to get things done is of importance to all
the rich businesspersons franchisees. They would rather have him at the top
than the blundering BCCI idiots. Whatever else he might be, Modi has proved his
efficiency in planning and organizing the event 3 years in a row despite many
constraints.
It is reported that a top secret 6 page
report prepared by the intelligence Bureau in tandem with another intelligence
agency RAW is highly critical of Sunanda Pushkar, a would be wife of Tharoor,
with details of the money flow trail in the bidding of the IPL franchise. A
copy of the report was also handed over to the defense minister A K Antony for
good reasons.
Today the congress party can hardly afford
any fresh controversy. What ever happened to the Con Party’s austerity drive I wonder?
What is Rajiv Shukla’s involvement in the IPL and BCCI? He should be working
for the people and his constituency but he is seen more at the cricketing
tamashas and page 3 circuits. WHY?
Everyone in
As I said earlier there is much more to this murky drama than what we shall ever see or hear. In today’s TOI there is an article clearly implying a legendry former opening batsman and captain of the Indian cricket team who had shown interest in the Kochi Consortium. My guess is he could be Sunil Gavaskar. Shailendra Gaikwad of Kochi C had managed to get Sachin Tendulkar to attend his sisters wedding.
The buck does not stop here-
The case of the mysterious lady who was caught on CCTV leaving Hotel Four Seasons with a stash of files , 30 minutes before income tax sleuths arrived to interrogate Lalit Modi was none other than Laila Mahmood, step daughter of Vijay Mallya.
Just a few years back Mohammed Azzharuddin was alleged to be in tandem with the betting syndicate and the underworld yet the Congress Party gave him a ticket for elections and made him a Member of Parliament.
I have been hearing about match fixing now for decades right since the times of Sunil Gavaskar and his close relative Madhav Mantri who was then very active off the field.
Today the game of cricket has brought disrepute not only to the cricket players but also to some very prominent people. Thanks to the IPL and the Tharoor – Lalit Modi war the focus has at least for the time being shifted to the rot that lies behind the glamour and glitz of this game of cricket. Talks are doing the rounds of underworld involvement, drug abuse, prostitution, hawala transactions, bribery, counterfeit money as also funds diverted for Islamic terrorism.
I sympathize with the fans of the game for their
innocence in investing their time and money on these cricketers and this Con
Game. Hope the citizens of

HAS CINEMA LOST ITS CHARM?
Today the theaters are not
even half as full as they used to be just two years back. People just do not
seem to be interested in going to the theaters any more. What could be the
reason/s?
Except for Aamir, Khan and Hrithik

No doubt that the tickets at
the multiplexes are costly, no denying that the colas and popcorns are sold at
exorbitant prices, a small outing for a family of five could cost the family
not less than 1500 rupees. However, money factor cannot be the only reason for
the waning interest in cinema.
On the other hand, there is
no harm on pondering over the fact that the so-called stars have lost their
charm to draw the audiences in to the theaters? No magic seems to be working
neither of the actors nor of the films. The problem is we have a spate of
actors who think they are stars and charge the producers a big amount, which
they just do not deserve by any figment of the imagination. Their only claim to
stardom is that their photos are splashed in the page 3 section of the daily
newspapers.

selfish interest kept up the hype
of many of the undeserving actors in
Bollywood. There are also reports of some reporters and journalists favoring a
particular actor in exchange of gifts. The lure of big money gets some trash

very well be true otherwise how could a film like “Kaminey”, “Acid Factory” get

today in the field of filmmaking, book-publishing, creativity has taken a back seat,
and money is seen sitting at the wheel, driving . The real star and base of any

segment of the process. He is one of the least paid.

AIR INDIA TAKING US FOR A RIDE ?
INDIANS IN AUSTRALIA
STUNT OF THE CON g MEN
SHAM OF THE CON PARTY
It is beyond doubt that Pranab Mukherjee did what he did from the bottom of his heart to stem the rot in the Congress party but the Gandhi clan lost no time in upstaging him with their near simultaneous stunts by the mother son duo, one in the air the other in a train.
In each and every aspect the Con Govt (read congress & ncp party) is hell bent on pulling the wool over the eyes of the Indian population again and again but this time the Innocent people have seen through them and cold shouldered their austerity stunt.
Karan Thapar has rightly pointed out as to why is Rahul Gandhi living in 12 Tughlaq lane , one of the largest government bunglows in Delhi? This bunglow is supposed to be reserved for only cabinet ministers. In this case Rahul Gandhi is not even entitled to it.
The gutsy Tavleen Singh has written in her article in the Indian Express that Sonia Gandhi and her family should shift to the cottage of the Rashtrapati Bhavan if she is really serious about austerity.
This con govt of khadi topis and cowardly gandhi mentality has been twitting on the twitter even as the Chinese have been eating in to our territory inch by inch , km by km. The Chinese are soon bound take over strategic locations inside our land by which the Chinese army could easily pick and kill our innocent soldiers at will as and when the time demands, just like the Pakis did in Kargil.Once again our armed forces are on the way to become sacrificial lambs all because of the governments non interest in the security of this country and its citizens. They are only interested in their photo - ops, p r exercises for the coming elections for obvious reasons.
Just two days back the CBI chief has said that there is a deep nexus between the police and the drug mafia in India. He went on to say "Its a reality that police officials salute drug lords and people from the IAS exchange pleasantries with them"
Its a shame that the con party's spokesmen like the devil who barks ( Manish Tiwari), the aggressive fat hen ( Jayanti Natrajan) are always ready to pounce on any patriotic Indian who voices his thoughts which are not in tune with the congress party agenda.
Coming back to the austerity stunt of the congress party, I would like to ask - will Sonia Maino Gandhi always travel economy? Will Rahul Gandhi shift out of the luxurious and sprawling bunglow at 12 Tughlaq road where he stays alone ? Will the con party ministers please shift to the decent air conditioned Wagon R cars from their Prado's, Skoda's, Honda's etc? But before that they should explain as to how did these guys come to travel in such swanky cars, live a page 3 life, even their family members and children enjoy a 5 star life to the hilt, where has that money been coming from ?
These sickening politicians are supposed to be the servants of the people. As far as the con party is concerned they are playing their part to perfection just as it was in the Hindi films of the seventies and eighties, where they showed the politicians as two faced, they espouse one thing , do quite another.After the eighties the audience of Bollywood films got put off by films where the story revolved around the politicians and those films started flopping, ironically today history is repeating itself in the stadium of politics , the patriotic population of India has seen through the game and will not take it lying down for much long.
At a time when the country is reeling under the threats of Naxalites, Chinese intrusions, Islamic terrorism, price rise, drought, three crore pakistani and Bangladeshi citizens inside our country, rapes, fake milk, spurious medicines, even fake blood, swine flu, attacks on Indians in Australia, Canada, UK, yet this govt has been deliberately irresponsible for all these maladies inflicting our society, citizens and country.All their show of austerity is nothing but a media stunt and stinks not only of duplicity but also an attempt to fool the population of the country to garner votes in the coming election. This stunt has to be regarded as a crime of the highest order.
The Supreme Court just yesterday chided the ruling Congress and NCP goverment for not taking a decision on the 26 mercy pleas for death row convicts including Mohammed Afzal Guru. The Supreme Court in a landmark statement said " Human beings are not chattel and should not be used as pawns in furthering some larger political policy " .Everybody, even a child in this county knows that the con party and ncp will never allow Mohammed Afzal as also Ajmal Kasab ever to be hanged.
In the not very distant future, say by 2014 elections the Gandhi family will have to think of some very innovative stunts for their PR exercise as the three Khans, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan may well enter the political arena and all three of them are masters of P R exercises and stunts.Irrespective of the party they join they will be a formidable challenge to the Gandhi dynasty and the Con - gress party seniors.
But stunts and photo opportunities can never substitute for honesty and accountability. Today from the police to the traffic constables, from colleges to school admissions, from train ticket collectors( T C ) to ticket for elections, from transfers to postings, from municipal offices to govt offices - corruption has become the norm.What austerity drive are these con men talking about? Eighty percent of India's population has been under a permanent drought for the last 62 years.Most of the Congress , Samajwadi, NCP politicians and Lalloo & Paswans presumably have hundred's of crores in Swiss banks and many properties not only in India but all over the world. No wonder this goverment is not serious about getting the more than thirty billion dollars of Indian money back from the Swiss banks.
Its time the dynastic family stops fooling the population of this country any further, lest these shams of the con party becomes its SHAME .

THE CHINESE ARE COMING . . .
THE CHINESE ARE COMING . . .
The demographic, environmental, religious and cultural pressures are building globally at a fast pace. In a future that is unpredictable it is difficult to say who will win, but one thing is for sure its going to be grim if not dark. Spiritual talks may be good for the soul but definitely bad for the nation and the physical safety of its citizens.
Last month in August 2009 the Chinese patrols had intruded in to Indian Territory 26 times and walked away with petrol and kerosene meant for our jawans guarding the border. On 30th August two Chinese helicopters entered the Indian air space and dropped some cargo very much inside the Indian Territory. In this year alone the Chinese have penetrated in to our land more than 700 times at different locations.
The army chief general Kapoor on these incidents has stated that “It could have been routine . . .”. As a bonafide patriotic and concerned citizen of this country I can retort and tell him “Send one of our old helicopters in to Chinese air space and see what happens”. In the not very distant past the Chinese had forcibly brought down a US surveillance aircraft which had intruded its territory and completely dismantled it, later the US had to collect bits and pieces of it. That is what I call integrity, strength and character of a nation,
A strong character and pride in the nation can come only with a strong law and order within the country. It has become imperative to punish the criminal’s right from the bottom to the top. The fear of the law has to be put in to their hearts... it is upon the politicians to do that but what can you expect of a country whose ministers have accounts in Swiss banks if not in their names directly then in the names of their near and distant relatives and friends.
Apart from China and Pakistan we have to be equally scared of our present politicians, if they find a loophole they would have no qualms in importing 10 million Chinese provided they can get votes from them. Trust them to invent convincing reasons to get them valid passports, ration cards or even the Nandan Nilekeni initiated Hi Tech cards.
Though a bit late in the day but not unusual for it, the Indian government is just about waking up to the real and present danger from China. Thanks to channels like Times Now.
The Chinese had made their intention public much before the 1962 war. In 1950 Mao had repeatedly proclaimed that Taiwan, Tibet and the Hainan islands were Chinese territories and will be repossessed. Nehru and his congress govt were busy enjoying the perks which came with power and totally neglected the threats emanating from this Hindi chini bhai bhai neighbor. Hence Nehru became the prime cause of the humiliation which our country had to suffer in the 62 war.
In 1963 Pakistan ceded to China a chunk of Indian Territory under its control, about 1580 sq kms. Through this very piece of land China has built the 1280 km Karokram highway linking Kashgan in Xinijiang in China with Islamabad in Pakistan, on this area of India called Aksaichin. The Indian defense experts have since 1980s been advising the Indian governments about the strategic importance and implications of the Karokram highway but the only reaction they have got in exchange was an eerie noiseless snoring.
Despite losing thousands of our soldiers and huge chunks of territory the Indian govts failed to realize the significance of the Chinese communists growing up as a military organization. Today China dares to claim a mammoth piece of Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim based solely on its military prowess, in contrast the Indian politicians /ministers have degraded and demoralized our armed forces.
China has cleverly promoted and managed different streams of threat in to India, foremost is the communist threat which emanates from Beijing and flows right till our Kerala. Second is the Islamic fundamentalist threat which it encourages from its proxies to cunningly blend it with the Maoists and Naxalites in to a dangerous cocktail of terror (about this cocktail of terror- I had written a few weeks earlier)
Today China has surrounded us from all sides which was but a natural progression right since the 1950s, our governments have preferred to sleep over it for 59 long years only to suddenly wake us up to show the nightmare live in the last months of 2009.
The encircling of India is been called the “String of pearls”. In plain words the string of pearls is meant to throttle India, I would rather call it “the Hangman’s noose”. On the other side is the Islamic Republic of Pakistan doing the halal on India with pumping in counterfeit currency, terrorism, drugs etc... On yet another side is the not so friendly Bangladesh , Nepal , Colombo and other small island countries.
Some groups and people who are advocating the line that economic co operation with China will reduce its animosity with us are only are only trying to pull the wool over our eyes for their own selfish and hidden purposes , Taiwan is the best example of this.
Apart from manufacturing fake and spurious products China is the biggest exporter of clandestine nuclear materials to the world. The Pakistani nuclear missiles and technology are entirely Chinese supported and nourished. The Pakistanis on the sly ofcource with Chinese approval gave this technology to North Korea and North Korea gave it to Burma. For all you know the Pakistanis may tomorrow give it to Bangladesh, Somalia. Or even to their co coreligionists and brothers in arms the Al Qaeda, Lashkar E Taiba etc.Pakistan's A Q Khan and his gang is notoriously famous for the same.
Today India urgently needs not only a second but third strike capability and for that we have to develop military muscle on par with China... what if China attacks India and simultaneously Pakistan also strikes a aggressive onslaught in to India ? Have our military planners worked out this scenario? Have our politicians equipped the Indian armed forces for just such a beginning. Expect the unexpected.
The Indian government always denies the most serious problem till the time the lid is blown off and they can’t keep it under the hatchet anymore. I strongly suspect the politicians are sitting smug all because the Indian population is busy watching and debating the half porn types of reality shows, dance competitions etc on television. Another part of this populace is in to the gurus who are preaching the rat like meditation but no one is preaching the art of war and destruction of the enemy. India could very well come apart at its seams as a major section of Indians are so enamored by the punks of Bollywood that they are growing up with just one ambition to be like those actors and actress. They are more interested in acting and dance classes than their studies or the welfare of the country. Looks like soon they will have to learn Chinese to survive.
Today India and its valiant armed forces need a true soldier who will stand up to the Indian politicians so that we can welcome the Chinese, Pakistanis and jihadis with open arms only to send them wrapped up in their coffins.
Jai Hind
My name is Indian
THE RSS HAS TO CHANGE
THE RSS HAS TO CHANGE
The chief of RSS Mohan Bhagwat on April 7 2009 has said “India is a Hindu nation” he also said “Hindutva is the identity of the country”. Nothing can be far away from the truth. Today where ever you go in India right from the big cities to the small towns one can hear the azzan blaring from the loudspeakers of the Mosques even in the remotest of villages one can see huge beautiful imposing structures of Mosques sprouting up but in all probability you will not hear the Temple bells. So how has Mr. Mohan Bhagwat stated India to be a Hindu nation I would like to ask him? The underlying fact is they (RSS) are living far away from reality more so as far as urban India is concerned.
Before advising the BJP to change I think it is imperative for the RSS to change itself. RSS was founded way back in 1925 with the aim of uniting the Hindus. It’s more than eighty five years now with lakhs of their cadres spread across the country yet they have not been able to unite the Hindus even remotely. The Hindu Temples and religious organizations are also as divided as they always have been and vehemently oppose to come under the shade of one umbrella. Various politicians from different states are hell bent on dividing the community of Hindus further. The voice of RSS doesn’t reach the metro cities of India as this organization is perceived to be old fashioned and fascist. The media has always projected them as a militant organization which they are not, only because of their ancient attire and outdated ideology.
"Catch them young" is the word for superb marketing and great sales. But the young specially the urban types seem to be allergic to the sangh parivar.
The foremost thing the RSS should do is to change their attire of white shirt and khaki knickers with broad belts. This costume is akin to what the police used to wear during the British Raj. I have no clue as to why they are hell bent on self destruction. (And how do they expect the college educated urban young to be attracted, especially Hindus? Hindu religion and Hindu people have always been more progressive than the rest of the world. This is clear to any serious and honest historian studying cultural time line of the world history)
Their ideology of a Hindu Rashtra is as much misplaced as Pakistan is from heaven. One cannot wish the thirty crore plus Muslims away from this country. Not only legally but even spiritually it would be wrong and could be construed as a sin. (This, even RSS says, but fails to clarify on certain vital issues such as how does one remain true Hindu without becoming either traditionalist or becoming like pseudo-seculars, and always consciously agitate for the justice for Hindus without doing injustice to Muslims and Christians)
The RSS should show a way to revive Hinduism without alienating the Muslim masses. For instance the RSS should take up issues like recently the congress govt has waived off rupees 3000 crores for the minorities, even as the poor among the Hindus are left with an empty bowl. After all the same rights, privileges evenly proportioned and balanced in a uniform and impartial way is secularism. There are many more poverty stricken Hindus than all the minorities put together but the poor Hindus don’t have a voice. RSS can become that voice but to become that voice they have to be heard and to be heard they have to change themselves.
The urban Indian does not in any way connect with the likes of the RSS and VHP and it will not till the time such organizations put up better faces and audible voices. with respect to the elders, I do think an average Indian wants to hear from a young charismatic leader using modern attires and gadgets Every time dhoti-clad people come on television the BJP loses at least a thousand potential voters.Times have changed it s the era of the internet, Gprs, IPL, Armani’s, video games. The RSS is still in a time warp and yet to arrive in the 21st century.
Why do populations en mass like to come to the urban cities? It is not just to earn their livelihood, it is because the allure, the glamour of the big cities attracts them, makes them start dreaming and they hope to bring a better change in their lives. They come rushing to the urban cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Calcutta, Banglore, Chennai etc and in no time try to copy the urban look and life style. In the same manner the janta of the country would any day prefer to see a upmarket personality like Rahul Gandhi or a beautiful one like Priyanka Gandhi .Today the whole world has become one big stage for the audio, video and print medium? To be camera friendly has become more important than your qualification or capabilities. Mohan Bhagwat has a good clarity in voice and a pleasing personality along with all the abilities of a efficient leader, if only they had more such people things could have been different.
Its time the RSS distances itself from its past, they should not get too worked up about Jaswants book or who partitioned India. I would like to know as to when was India a one country? Before the British ruled over us we were under the Muslim rule and before the Muslims ruled us we were divided in 25 to 400 different states. So was the 1947 partition of India a good thing or bad?
Imagine the Muslims of Pakistan and Bangladesh all in one India. I leave it upon the readers to judge the repurcussions of it.
Another issue they should highlight is the influx of millions of Pakistanis and Bangladeshis coming in to India.They are eating in to the jobs of the poor Indian population. India is been slowly taken over by them and the demography of India is been intentionally changed for a diabolic drama to be staged in the future. As the only known organization to speak up for the nationalistic Indians the onus on the RSS today is more than it ever was in the past.
(Family planning and population control have become sensitive issues since the time of Sanjay Gandhi. No political party will ever take up this issue seriously. But this is the most important issue in today’s world as it is disturbing the ecology of this planet. Should RSS take it up or not? This will put the RSS critics in Media, so called intelligentsia, in a spot as they will not be able to oppose RSS on this point.)
RSS should take a leaf out of the Christian organizations that have been running hospitals, schools, orphanages and old age homes through out the country in the most professional manner. Right from the biggest metro cities to the smallest villages you can find their presence. Can the RSS boast of a single such hospital or school that the whole country knows of? Am sure they will have a ready answer that the Vatican is funding them for conversions, which may be true but what’s stopping them to emulate their agenda in reverse? There is no dearth of funds. The Hindu temples like Tirupathi, Vaishno Devi, and Siddhi Vinayak etc have surplus money to fund a thousand such hospitals and schools. Why is that money not been used for constructing and running hospitals, orphanages and schools?
(I do know that the RSS is doing unimaginable number of such philanthropic work. The only problem is that they get no publicity. Secondly, RSS should inspire Hindu Sadhus to give few years of their lives to Jan-Seva. This will start making saffron attire synonymous to public service as the priest’s and nun’s uniforms are)
For just a saintly man, not even a God, people donate thousands of crores of rupees (Shirdi Sai Baba) to make a throne of gold for him, why can’t such money be better utilized to ease the pain of millions of Hindus and Muslims. There is no point in blaming the Christians and Muslims for every problem in the country.(RSS can systematize and try to bring under one umbrella all the Hindu religion sects and Mandirs-)
At the same time let me shed some light on the RSS organization. they have done been doing exemplary good work during earthquakes, floods, in helping and saving the lives of people irrespective of their caste and religion. The RSS had also very actively helped the Hindus and Sikhs escape the Muslim mob violence in 1947 when more than 1 million Hindus were butchered and massacred by the marauding Muslim mobs. Under the most trying times of human endurance the RSS along with the Hindus from the Indian Army with extra ordinary courage had safely brought out more than 10 million Hindus from Lahore, Quetta and other Muslim dominated areas.
Mr. Khushwant Singh not a fan of the RSS has this to say about this organization “ RSS played a honorable role in maintaining Hindu Sikh unity, it was the Congress (I) leaders who instigated mobs in 1984 and got more than 3000 people killed. I must give due credit to RSS and the BJP for showing courage and protecting helpless Sikhs during those difficult days”.
During the 1965 and 1971 Indo Pak wars the RSS workers were the first to give their blood and organize blood banks and relief for the Indian Armed Forces.
I do not deny the good intentions of the RSS but one should not escape from the ground realities, they are out of sync with today’s times and the now generation. Today it has become a organization of the oldies, by the oldies for the oldies. By refusing to change they themselves have become the biggest hindrance to what they had set out to achieve.
Shockingly even after decades of independence most Hindu journalists, doctors, engineers, businessmen, teachers, lawyers, and the rest do not know anything about the Hindu religion, heritage or history. They have no idea about the Vedas, mantras, shastras, not even about the holy Bhagvad Geeta or the holy Ramayna. RSS has to go door to door, hose to house, first in the metro cities to educate the Hindus and attract them in to the warm solace of this great and most ancient religion. A consistent campaign to educate the Hindus about their relegion has to be started on a war footing. Just like what Adi Shankar Acharya had done long back.
The potential and talent of this organization is immense but what today they need is a image makeover, a comprehensive media plan specially targeted at the English media,a better projection and a mechanization of force multipliers and much more .Without which it will remain dormant and will have to be satisfied with the good work they are doing in the rural areas but then like I said earlier, since the dawn of the industrialization it’s the urban cities which have been the "in thing" and it’s the urban look which rightly or wrongly the rural folks want to imitate.In the Holy Bhagvad Geeta Lord Krishna has said “ Change is the law of nature”. Accept it or perish.
Summary:
1) Modernization in Thought, Action, Attitude and Attire.
2) Issues such as Eco conversion and Population control
3) Accepting the modern festivals such as Valentine day and Friendship day etc. And internalize them into Hindu society.eg - Raksha Bandhan - Sisters Day.
4) Be first to criticize the wrongs of Hindu society such as Caste ism, Honor killing, Plight of Widows, Discrimination against women, etc.
5) Codify and Systematize the religion. Jagatguru Shankaracharya did this few hundred years back and time’s come to do it again. Some amount of the money collected in all the temples should come to centralized, democratic body which can use that money for the good of Hindu Society.
6) Understand the importance of PR and Publicity. Work towards penetrating into the Intelligentsia
7) Starting a mass movement to educate the urban Hindu about his relegion.
In short be as modern as possible without compromising upon morality. But the concept of morality is different in modern society and that must be recognized.
"PERISH" IS A WORD WHICH I SUPPOSE IS NOT IN THE RSS DICTIONARY SO IT IS INEVITABLE THAT THEY WILL CHANGE, HOW SOON OR HOW LATE ONLY TIME WILL TELL.
