Let’s invest in Olympian dreams

Mr. Sharma had nothing to write about this week. Team Anna has been disbanded, almost everybody is writing about Baba Ramdev and one more article would have been one too many. Congress has not done any note worthy
to write about. Leaders of BJP and Modi are also quiet and have not said anything controversial. He could not have written about the offensive speech
by Owaisi because that would be defying the diktats of high command. The only remaining safe and non controversial subject was Olympics.
India has won six medals, congrats everyone. Hopefully they will bring few gold
medals next time.

@ Vinod Sharma

Good change ! Good post !

let us hope we have a sports movement… which gets all of us– rich and poor involved in sports.

Fact is most of our problems of caste, minoritism and crime will well be solved when people rush along with a football and run on the sports track together.

Who cares if Yogeshwar Dutt is a yadav and Zaheer Khan is a Muslim and Bhupathi is a brahmin as long as they play for India….

I think all these politcal divide and rule will finish in case the sports field shines.

Plane hijack threat ahead of Independence Day?

http://www.rediff.com/news/slide-show/slide-show-1-plane-hijack-threat-ahead-of-independence-day/20120812.htm

The Intelligence Bureau has put out
an alert regarding a possible hijack of a plane from Ahmedabad.

Intelligence Bureau sources told rediff.com that there are many
alerts that have been put out ahead of Independence Day and this is one among
them.

Although the rest of the alerts are general in nature, the one
pertaining to Ahmedabad is a more specific one.

The IB is treating this
alert a bit more seriously because the intercepts and the statements made by
Lashkar-e-Tayiba terrorist Abu Jundal are similar in nature.

Jundal had,
during his interrogation, mentioned that after the 26/11 sea-borne attack the
LeT was planning an aerial attack.

FT says Mumbai riots on mayanmar/assam will spread to other cities in India.

I have been in USA 12 years. have never come across a citywide, statewide, countrywide violent/destructive protest march. Yet, USA is the oldest democracy. They achieve democratic goals without bandhs, violence, destruction.

The protest march here consists of protestors walking in circles holding placards, not shouting. Lives go on ununterrupted.

It is time that India puts controls and restrictions on these violent bandhs and marches. There was no justification/reason for Mumbai Muslims to organize a protest against Assam and Mayanmar. For Petes sake Bangla Desh, the homeland of Rohyagans, refuse dto take them. Why should Mumbai Muslims destroy Mumbai property on their ebhalf?

The restrictions should be equally applicable all across the country. No more bandhs for petrol price rise, Sadam Husains hanging, Telengana…

The politics of riots

http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/headon/entry/the-politics-of-riots

At 3.25 pm last Saturday, I received a call from my wife. “We are in the middle of a riot,” she said with as much composure as she could muster.

A violent mob of young Muslim men was burning buses, police vehicles and TV Outdoor Broadcast (OB) vans in front of our car in Mumbai’s central business district near Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST). Through my phone, I could hear the muffled shouts of the rioters as they hit our car with whatever they could lay their hands on.

Where are the liberal Muslim voices? Azim Premji speaks of governance and philanthropy, rarely about secularism and communalism. He must speak up now. So must Aamir Khan and others in order to put 175 million Muslims in India on the path of modernity and social and economic progress rather than the path of medieval self-destruction.

The
O’Briens of India and Pakistan.
http://quizderek.blogspot.com/

Each year, on August 15, I find myself thinking of my great-grandmother – my
father’s paternal grand-mother. Nellie Bella Biswas, as she was named when born
to a Bengali-Christian family with homes in Jalpaiguri and Manicktala, formed
part of my earliest memories. She died in 1969, when I was a small schoolboy.
Yet even by then she had come to represent an influential figure for me – the
familiar matriarch, caring but firm, who taught the three of us, my brothers and
me, to speak Bengali.

To my young mind, Nellie Bella O’Brien, as she
became on marrying an Irish settler in India – symbolised history. She was a
walking, talking monument of history. To my innocent eyes, she seemed to stand
for Mother India: a venerable and iconic figure who shed a silent tear in August
1947 as one country became two nations, and a composite society was split
forever.

Nellie Bella cried in August 1947, she cried every day from 1947
to 1969. She cried for the line in the sand that Partition drew. She cried for
Patrick, her first-born, her beloved son, who stayed on in Lahore.

The
narrative of Partition has been written in terms of the subcontinent’s Hindus
and Muslims. Christians have had only a small role. Anglo-Indians – the
community I belong to and which makes up a minuscule section of India’s
Christians – have had just a walk-on part.

65 years ago, on this August 14th midnight, Pandit Nehru made his famous “A Tryst with Destiny” speech to a country breathing freedom for the first time in centuries.

I read it every year on 14th; my children too.

“…………………..A moment comes , which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation , long suppressed, finds utterance. …..The service of India means the service of all who suffer. It means the ending of poverty and ignorance and disease and inequality of opportunity……………………

We have hard work ahead. There is no resting for any one of us till we redeem our pledge in full, till we make all the people of India what destiny intended them to be. We are citizens of a great country on the verge of bold advance, and we have to live up to that high standard. …..

And to India, our much-loved motherland, the ancient, eternal, and ever-new, we pledge we pay our reverent homage and we bind ourselves afresh to her service”

Amitabh Bachchan has written this on his blog.

On the twitter platform a short while ago, Moses from Israel
mentioned his love for the song ‘ Kajara re’ and I put in a 140 letter message,
stating that just the other day I heard a most astonishing story about the song.
It is one that is at once filled with sorrow and grief and immense irony, so
those that wish to skip this portion are advised to do so.
Ram Gopal Varma, who is making his next film on the 26/11
terrorist attack on Mumbai, has gathered through his extensive research and
sources a most poignant occurrence.
Three senior most police officers that had travelled on that
fateful first day, in a police vehicle towards the Hospital where the terrorists
were active, had been shot instantly and died while still in the vehicle. The
vehicle had also carried two constables that escaped the firing, as they had
ducked in the rear end of the Qualis behind the seating. Two of the terrorists
had after the shooting of the officers, walked up to the vehicle and pulled out
the bodies of the three officers, and ridden the vehicle to cause further
mayhem. The two constables unknown to the two terrorists had remained in that
hidden crouched position without making a sound, even though one of them had
been injured by a bullet in the shooting that killed the officers.
The vehicle, now driven by the terrorists was driving along
to a predetermined destination to catch up with the others in the team, when one
of the hiding constables’ mobile rang ! One of the terrorists, sources or Jadhav
the other constable, has stated to be Kasab, now captured and in custody, turned
round while driving and pumped bullets into the constable who’s mobile rang,
killing him. Jadhav who was pretending he was dead, lay still, inches away from
his colleagues dying face, when this happened. Through communication and
suspected movements of course this vehicle was abandoned by the terrorists and
another family vehicle travelling on the road opposite, was forcefully stopped,
its occupants removed at gunpoint, and taken over by the terrorists which then
through a blockade at Girgaum Chowpaty, by the police, was intervened and that
is where through the brave efforts of another constable, who took a bullet from
them but grappled with Kasab, caught him alive !
And now … for the other facts as reported … the ring tone of
that mobile phone of the constable that was shot in the Qualis … was … ‘Kajara
re’ .. !
And more … the call he was getting, was from his Father, who
wanted to know what was happening, because he was seeing and watching television
that there was some trouble in Mumbai !!
That phone call cost the constable his life ! His Father has
till date not been able to live with it !!
It is painful to narrate something like this .. can one
imagine the plight of those that endured this ordeal .. ???

Interesting insights from the Hindustan Times poll.

There is a question on the Presidential system..70%+ favors direct election. I wonder whether people meant election of the current system of President (such as Pranab Mukherjee, Patil etc) or are they vouching for a presidential democratic system such as in US. I believe India will be better off with a Presidential system; definitely it will be less corrupt.

PM’s “Crisis Of Confidence” Speech At Iftar Party

http://www.mediacrooks.com/2012/08/pms-crisis-of-confidence-speech-at.html
On the evening of August
13 at an Iftar party hosted by Ram Vilas Paswan, Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh addressed the diners on the eve of our Independence Day. This is the
full text of the speech to members of Congress and other secular parties who
attended the dinner.

MMS: “Crisis of
confidence”

Namaskar on the eve of the
66 th Independence day of this great country! This is a special
night for me. Exactly eight years ago, in May 2005, I accepted my appointment as
Prime Minister by Smt. Sonia Gandhi. I promised you a PM who is not
isolated from the people, who feels your pain, and who shares your dreams and
who draws his strength and his wisdom from you.

During the past eight years I’ve
spoken to you on many occasions about national concerns, the energy crisis,
reorganizing the government, our nation’s economy, and issues of terrorism and
especially black money. But over those years the subjects of the speeches, the
talks, and the press conferences have become increasingly narrow, focused more
and more on what the isolated world of Delhi thinks is important. Gradually,
you’ve heard more and more about what the government thinks or what the
government should be doing and less and less about our nation’s hopes, our
dreams, and our vision of the future.

Sarvarkar’s ideology is inherently Islamophobic which has in turn infected and spread like the AIDS virus transiting through the RSS into all the Snagh organisations? This combined with their acute love of extreme form of Hinduism is what makes these organisations COMMUNAL.

24hrs after, we are still groping in the dark for the sudden exodus of the NE Indian students, BPO workers and other small time employed people. It has caused acute concern among all the Karnatak peopla and Bangaloreans particularly, bercause this looks like a very well thought out, systematic and dnagerous scheme to destroy Bangalore’s IT Industry, educational infra-structure and real estate industries, which have been flourishing in the last two decades.

There is definitely a link to Owaisi’s threat in parliament just two days ago. He has put in action what he had proposed in his threat. There are a lot of pseudo secularists like Deve Gowda, who are fishing in troubled waters for their two bit worth election games.

~~~ AN APPEAL TO VINOD SHARMA ~~~
==============================================================

Sir,

As the blog master you have to listen to this appeal from the heart of us bloggers.

You are a reknown journalist and a constant face on TV. You are also a member of the National minorities commission. Many of us out here feel that the NMC is a waste of precious national resources and ends up catering to only the whims and fancies of jehadis and Mullahas, and ends up defending the gender UNEQUAL Muslim personal law.

. However for the good or bad, the NMC exists.

Today the NMC has to take up the challenge of the plight of the Norht eastern people. The speeches by Owaisi targetting them and inciting the Muslims have been seen by all. The speeches by the rabble rousers and violence inciters in Mumbai have been seen by all. The violence on the youth of the North East by some (not all ) Muslims has been seen by all.

Why are you guys in the NMC silent? Are the people of North East not a minority ? OR do you only recognise Muslims as a minority?

Mr, Sharma, when you shave tomorrow, look inot your eyes in the mirror. Then ask yourself whether you are doing the right thing by joining the Congress in remaining silent on the Muslim atrocities on the people of the North East?

Mumbai police commissioner Arup Patnaik has landed himself in a controversy after a video emerged purportedly showing him berating his junior officer for nabbing a person suspected to be involved in Saturday’s riots.

In the video uploaded on YouTube, Patnaik is heard telling deputy commissioner of police Ravindra Shisve after the latter caught an alleged rioter, “Tumhala kon hyala pakdayala sangitla (Who has told you to catch him?)” Patnaik then threatens to have the DCP suspended.

‘You take directions from the commissioner. You are not SP (of) Sangli, you are DCP here. You will not fall out of line, (else) you will be suspended, stupid,’ he told Shisve.

@ Mahesh

Thank you for remembering me and Praveen. As I had expected you had somehow blamed me and Praveen Saxena for the exodus of the NE youth. Great inference! James Bond has become jamshed Bandhopahya in disguise…

Brother for once see the truth and not the make belief fiction you apparently concoct.

1) The North East tragedy resulted out of the illegal migration from Bangladesh into India leading to capture of land of the Assamese and the Bodos. Surely the COngress and you never saw this

2) Badruddin and Owaisi made patently communal speeches and converted this into a Muslim vs North East issue. Of course you are too literate to see this. And so is the COngress.

3) A Muslim crowd gathered in Mumbai and were made to listen to grossly inflammatory speeches by their COMMUNAL leaders. Our dunce Congress Home Minister was dumb founded. Rioting and arson took place. But being Mahesh Mumbaikar you probably were at the Jazz by the Bay… enjoying yourself and imagning that BJP and Modi were behind this.

4) The SMS’s and MMS’s to Muslim youth incited them to attack chinkis and North Easterners. But as the COngres derives its support from pandering to Muslim communalism you and the COngressis probably believe that Mossad is behind this.

COngratulations for being so literate…

OK, now for this.

Activists of the Womens Separatist Group in Kashmir, Dukhtaran-E- Milat (where the fru-k they get these names) staged a protest march today (of course after the Friday prayers) against the alleged massacre of Muslims in Mayanmar.

She offered shelter to the Mayanmese “let them come to Kashmir. We we will throw our homes open to them”

The “reverse” migration issue, such as the north easterners going back to their home states, brings a totally new dangerous and destructive element in our already corrosive polity.

A Chinese political scientist published an article a few years ago about how easy it is to balkanize India. In fact he suggested the Chinese govt should pursue the tactics he outlined when the opportune time arises in the Chinese interest.

Whether Chinese or extreme Muslims or extreme Hindus or whoever for fun did this SMS messaging, it really has exposed a new, ugly, far more dangerous strain than the tarditional religious riots.

There were several “reverse” pushes in our post independence history. They were all economic issues, and none violent, and none really causing people to move back to their home states.

Karunanidhi started a “malayalathan ozhikai ” ( Malayalees move out) in the 60s. That was more to build his party, takinga way from congress. No panic trip of Malayalees to the central station to catch the next train to Kochi or Kozhikode..

Thackrey’s program of “Mumbai for Mumbaiites” also did not make anybody run to Victoria Terminus.

But this one is dangerous. Unfortunately, the facial feautures of NEs make them an easy target to segregate.

But if you look deep there is always easy ways of segregation and packaging. Our fathers did that in 1947; Nazis did it in 1940-44, some of the Pakistanis do everyday, and just last week somebody did it to Sikhs in USA in a mistaken identity.

And this is happening in a time when we are bereft of any national leaders (may be Anna). Well, the corollary is that it would not have happened if we had leaders – not the criminals and looters (of all parties) leading us.

This is a bad mix – deteriorating economy, despair and dislocation, politicians running to relocate Rohatyan Mayanmari Muslims without considering the situation of the Assamese etc. Things can really get out of control.

I thought we had only three key challenges to wrestle with from a political leadership perspective – the skill mix issue (an affluent high skill populace, a stagnant large low skill segment, how to move low skill segment to medium skill, the native/tribal development/integration, and the occasional Hindu-Muslim issue.

Now we have one more; potentially more dangerous than the three above. Because we thought we solved the integartion of states to the union!

Sardar Patel must be turning on in his grave!

Agree with you that the problem is quite serious. But let us not blame the wrong party. Let us solve it.

Any violence is bad; it is a bad mark on the country.. and it will be Muslims who will bear the brunt if a nationwide violence erupts- it is just a law of statistics. I hope peace will prevail, good spirits will prevail.

And I do not believe you attended Advani’s independence day party. You wis you did. (Advani is not my hero; I have all along said he should just retire)

“good example by Musl;im group in Pune…” That is good…Why dis Raza group ask for a protest march against the atrocities in Mynmar? Why should India bother if Bangla Desh does not bother? When are Muslims stopping these frucked up marches for troubles in distant lands?

I hope blood does not flow. But if it does, blame it on Owaisis and Raza academy, and not on Advani, although he is a favorite punching bag of Msulims and secularists

The rumour-mongering and resultant panic among northeasterners living in
Bangalore, Mysore and other cities of Karnataka and in other States began in
mid-July after a Pakistani website, of which nobody seems to have had heard of
till then, posted a picture of Buddhist monks supervising the burial of Tibetans
killed in the devastating earthquake that hit Tibet in April 2010. The picture
was luridly described as showing “Buddhist monks with the bodies of Rohingya
Muslims killed by Buddhists in Burma”.
Within days, the photograph with its provocative caption went viral,
appearing on the front pages of Urdu newspapers in Pakistan and getting
re-posted on several Islamic websites and blogs which claimed the picture was
‘evidence’ of Rohingyas being massacred by Buddhists in Burma.

———————————————
PESHAWAR: Gunmen dragged 20 Shia Muslim travelers off a bus and killed them at point blank range in northern Pakistan on Thursday, the third such incident in six months, officials said.

The attack happened in the northwestern district of Mansehra as the bus was travelling between Rawalpindi and the mainly Shia northern city of Gilgit.
Officials said it was ambushed in the hills of Babusar Top, around 100 miles north of the capital Islamabad, although they differed over details of the incident.
“Ten to 12 people wearing army uniform stopped the bus and forced some people off the bus,” said Khalid Omarzai, administration chief in Mansehra.
“After checking their papers, they opened fire and at least 20 people are reported to have been killed. This is initial information and the final toll may go up. They are all Shias,” he said.
Local police official Shafiq Gul told AFP that the gunmen were masked, but said the victims were pulled from three separate vehicles in the district, which neighbours the Swat valley, a former Taliban stronghold.
“They stopped three vehicles, searched them and picked up people in three batches of five, six and nine and shot them dead. They were all Shias,” he said.

Amid all this noise about Assam, Mumbai and Bangalore, we have given a miss to the CAG report on massive scams which has been officially tabled in the parliament. Smartly, the government chose to present all of them on the same day and rubbished them all with one brush saying – “the CAG has exceeded its brief” or “the figures are presumptive” or similar basically implying that there has been ZERO LOSS.

The loss figures has pushed Mr. Kalmadi’s effort to fourth place in magnitude. The report clearly blames the UPA govt. of showing favours to all and sundry and that includes Reliance, Jindal, GMR, etc.

I have seen Manohar defending these scams (on First Post) by saying that all this was done for the sake of Aam Admi. When would he understand that CAG report on 2G has forced the govt. to auction the spectrum and now it would indeed earn more money, thereby proving that there was indeed a loss earlier.

@ Pathak G

I will talk on facts now. This Delhi Airport thing is a huge fraud. How can you stretch the contract to 60 years from 30, without letting the initial bidders also bid on those terms.

I know a little about Airport construction. I will talk on facts. When Charles Correa designed the old airport in 1981, nobody was willing to beleive that India could ever attract so much traffic, yet by 1999, the Airport was crowded and had outlived its life. I worked on a consultancy assignment (as a trainee employee) of the new Airport. Well our inflow projections could only stand true for 15 years as nobody really knows how many times more the actual inflow can actually be.

To mortgage India’s future for 60 years is a huge scam. A HUGE SCAM.

Toll roads , the BOLT model all work on 10-30 years. Here 30 are given free…

Obviously for kickbacks.

Several youtubes of the Azad Maidan RAza organized Azad Maidan march and violence are in circulation. Some of them have occasional Pakistani flags. Muslims will say a good Muslim will not commit violence, let alone carry Paksiatni flag. They will say it is others in disguise. Hindus will say it is Muslims. Anything is possible in these days of doctored images. The fact is that riots happened. Raza organized it to protest events in distant places.

I recommend that new rules be put in to give permission for these protest marches. 1) No permission for protesting against events in other states and countries 2) declaration that any state wide bandh is illegal (Kerala has one bandh every month) 3) A minimum of 20 years imprisonment for anybody found destroying state property 4) No bandh for interstate water issues 5) etc etc

Ehtsham Khan,
Couple of things here.
First , the historic parallels. This is not a build-up to 92-93. No matter how much hoarse the extremist nuts from Hindu and Muslim communal scream , we are well past it. Look around and get a feel – the communal undertones are just not strong enough. Don’t compare “blogosphere” with life outside. In that sense , media is accurate in not reporting the communal undertones in these events.
Second, RSS…. The traditional lathi weilding image is a historical remnant. Your average religious extremist has long since discarded that outfit. In fact, he dons a far modern avatar that includes blog participation..
Third, I tend to agree with you about Muslim community leaders speaking out on the issue . The other aspect is silence of secular political forces. They should have raised hell on anybody and everybody painting this mischief with communal colours. On that count, congress has abysmally failed.
p.s. for Mohan, Vijay Kumar, Gopi and Pathak : Can anybody please help me finding something communally inciting in Khan’s response. Did I miss something ? (Hinting and Pathak and Vijay Kumar’s discussion on Khan’s response).
p.p.s. for Mohan : I was referring to poverty alleviation through Market mediation.

———- AN APPEAL TO ALL BLOGGERS ““““““`

Three days some anit nationals in the garb of Islam attacked the amar jawan jyoti at Azad Bhavan, attacked the media and the public. Two days back in a rally in Lucknow Muslims attacked the Buddhists because they felt Buddhists in Burma had killed Muslims.

A hate campaign is on against the people of North East based on the perception that they are Budhhists ( being slant eyed)

This blog HAS TO condemn all this very strongly. Somehow when the Indian media talks about Islam, it only does to perpetuate victimhood mentality and never speak up when in the name of Islam, crimes against humanity are committed.

The vast majority of Muslims may well be against it. But India’s media will never give them a voice as it fears that that would hurt the extremists.

I expected better from the media..

Why dont journos write pieces condemning the criminals who destroyed the Amar jawan Jyoti, Why dont they expose the people who want Indian Muslims to hit at Buddhists in India because there are tensions in Burma?
These guys never got agitated when hindus were driven from Kashmir.

Condemn these anti-nationals. And Not a conditional condemnation — that becasue the Babri masjid was demolished these guys are justifed… or because it happened in Burma we need to condemn Burma first…

SRINAGAR: Resistance to making the journey to Amarnath smoother and safer could snowball in Kashmir following separatist leader Mirwaiz Umer Farooq’s protest against the Supreme Court’s direction to the government to construct roads and build infrastructure on the route. Farooq says it would disturb the region’s delicate ecological balance.

“If the road construction is taken up in the area, it would lead to felling of trees. This will trigger an ecological disaster in this environmentally sensitive region,” Mirwaiz said on Friday. He said it would increase pollution and result in the melting of glaciers.

The most important part of Bharatiya Janata Party [ Images ] (BJP) leader L K  Advani’s speech in Parliament on August 8 was not in which he used the word “illegitimate” — and withdrew it after Congress president Sonia Gandhi [ Images ] vehemently protested –  but the one in which he bowed to the diktats of political correctness. He said, “The violence in Assam should not be seen as a communal incident. Let no one regard it as a Hindu-versus-Muslim affair or a tribal-versus-non-tribal one.

TJS George, in an op ed column in the Indian Express briefly touched about the “Betrayal in India”, a book written by DF karaka in the 60s.

Many youngsters of today may not know about DF Karaka or the weekly publication “Current” he led. Karaka was a lover of India, criticizing the leadership for denying the vision of prosperity to Indians. I used to eagerly wait for Current in my college days.

I believe we have moved from “betrayal in India” to “Betrayal of India”. What else explains the nonchalant attitude by the leaders on the situation of the NE people, except a few press announcements. What else expalins a leader like Owaisis goes scots free after making a radioactive statement about the third Jehadi movement (implicitly agreeing there were two jehadi movements before). What else explains the whole scale looting of India, worse than the British did..(I will not charge Moguls for looting because they reinvested in India). The NE issues may be partly or mostly attributed to a section of Muslims; but the whole scale looting of India is done mostly by Hindus.

The government, as usual, released a few statements, sent a request to Pakistan. Meanwhile the dreams and aspirations of almost 100,000 (has there been a definitive number- range?) NE students and workers have been destroyed or suspended.

Hindu newspaper reported that four fleeing Assamese were thrown out of a running train from W Bengal to Assam and killed. They could not even reach their loved ones.

What happened has happened. GOI could have or could not have done anything about it. But there s quite a lot Shinde and co can do to right the wrong.

They should set up a help centre in Gawhati and other key centres in Assam staffed with senior officers. These people should function as middlemen to facilitate the relocation back between the Assamese student/worker and the college/employer. The affected personnel should be issued free tickets back and three- four days allowance.

There has to be a properly staffed department in each affected states to resettle these guys when they get back. I will not object the creation of an NE Personnel Integration/welfare Departments formed in each state. After all, we have rupees and people allocated for the welfare of Muslims/minorities/and other disadvantaged groups..

The Union Minister for Steel and Mines Beni Prasad Verma is on a visit to UP. He could give Economist Manmohan Singh and his fellow Sardar Montek Singh a run for their money. He has announced that the rising prices and inflation are good for farmers and the Economy.
To a question he said Akhilesh Yadav is like his son …but Rahul Gandhi ….is like his Father .

~~~~ AN AWKWARD QUESTION BY A NORTH EASTERNER ~~~~~~~~
==========================================================

i MET a public sector officer from Arunachal at a freinds house today.

The conversation turned to the unfortunate panic in the North Easterners,

This man has decided to stay in Delhi.

I will repeat his words and let the bloggers out here decide.

“We NOrth east people are very simple people. We have started getting more and more integrated with Indian in the last 15-50 years as there are many good jobs in Mainland.

Earlier some Arunachalis were impressed with China. But I think if Indian government does not punish people who created the panic, then lot of anger will happen.
Many people will start to say that CHina government will hang the rumour spreaders. Indian government cannot do anything if North East guy is troubled….”

Should we have exchanged Afzal Guru for Sarabjit Singh ? There are no easy choices in the shadowy war that has never stopped between the two sides.

[Reply]

Dude please get your history right, Ashoka the great was almost more than 1500 years before Genghiz kahn was born in 1162.

Secondly what proof Pakistan had that Sarabjit was a spy. Why compare Sarabjit to Afzal or Kasab.

budy Are you a spokesman for so called Pakistani civilized?

Pakistan is a terrorist state and Pakistanis are a rude and illegitimately cheating lot. I have seen these people around me for more that three years by now and I have never seen them to be truth speaking. These people are only concerned in showing themselves as the biggest and most religious Muslims. Other things are not in priority to them.

Sarabjeet was a spy or not…this is not the matter. The matter is, why the hell we want to be friends with Pakistan! This country was formed on the base of hatred. Why can’t we just declare them, each and every Pakistani and their supporters even if technically they may be Indians as well, our enemy. And full stop. See them, shoot. Let them also do the same to us (which they are doing anyway).

The author seems to forget that the inheritors of Buddha are no less violent than those of Chengiz khan. Just turn the pages of history and see for yourself. Go to Burma or Srilanka or to any country in the east and see what the inheritors of Buddha have done. We can’t escape the truth behind colorful anectodes. We can’t become holy by throwing sh*t on others. The incident involving a Pakistanin prisoner in Jammu shows how hollow the author’s words are.

Mission? to kill innocent people is mission for Indian Intelligence? A dirty game rapped in National Defense… ..

[Reply]

This is a rather confused article, and also has spelling and grammatical errors. We expect better from regular columnists on HT. The author also seems to imply that she knows conclusively that Sarajbit was a spy for India, and that he was deserted by the Indian intelligence agencies and Indian government. Both of these suppositions are an insult to Sarabjit’s memory. When someone is on foreign soil, his security is not always within our control. Afzal Guru was an Indian citizen, so Pakistan should have nothing to say about whether he should have been hanged or not, especially since he went through the due process of law and Presidential appeals etc. The evidence against Afzal was rather damning.

“The same clearly cannot be said of Pakistan. We may lawfully hang
dreaded criminals but we do not lynch, we do not bludgeon our prisioners
to death and we do not behead enemy solders on the borders of our
country. Unlike hotheads who are demanding an eye fpr an eyue, which can
only render the whole world blind,” Wish the author was well read and it pains me to read naive ill-researched articles, pandering only to the basal instincts and naivety of the majority of the readers with such amazing conspicuous absence of facts.

[Reply]

I don’t know who Sujata Nandan is…but it is very apparent that she does not deserve to be a columnist for a leading National daily…she does not know the facts, has her history wrong and is not clear what message she wants to convey through the article having so many grammatical and spelling errors…She has based her entire article on her assumption that Sarabjit was a spy…and then somehow she moves to a completely different tangent towards the end…There should be an option to give -ve “stars” to an article which wastes time and effort of all.

[Reply]

the author is majorly ignorant of details of how spies are recruited and the nature of the work of our spy agencies. before writing the next time please try to learn something about what you are writing about.

[Reply]

I left the article half way y’day I could not bear the illogic and pointlessness. But having read comments I came back to chk whether she is slantingly trying to justify attack on sarabjit comparing him with afzal.

And lo yes this disgusting motherfcuking ugly b1tch is saying that india is responsible for sarabjit getting killed because we (lawfully) executed some terrorist called afzal guru. And we must not blame those rabid **** dogs (who hv gone mad due to the anti india venom someone put in their heads to enslave them) because they naturally want justice. This dimwit forgot that unwittingly assumed that sarabjit is a spy and went on to build a castle of (biased) opinions on flawed premise.
I would never say this but, the opinion of this columnist is just as rotten,stinking and filthy as she looks in her photo
