RAVI arguing for shariat to be applied to muslims, in previous blog was most irritating. And vaary vaary stooopid, hope he stays away for one week, distracts and lowers intellectual std here.

vinodjee ,countries keep army,while in case of pakistan,army keep a country.everything is possible.their leaders are choosen in white house.

Musharraf is suffering from a (highly) exaggerated sense of self importance. A nobody, he is destined to live a banished existence for the rest of his miserable life. As for solving the problems of pakistan, well the country is a miscreation and even Allah cannot resolve its problems. It deserves a coup de grace to put its unfortunate people out of their misery.

[Reply]

Musharraf Sahib, hangman is waiting for you. You are not known to be that naive to return to terror infested Pakistan. You did a pretty good job of promoting terrorism and protecting Osama. Now it is you turn to reap what you sowed.

VINOD JI ,IT IS GOOD YOU ARE USING YOUR SO CALLED ANALYTICAL ABILITIES WHILE EVALUATING GEN MUSHARRAF.
WHY DONOT YOU USE THESE FACULTIES ABOUT OUR NOMINATED PM SHRI MMS.IAM SURE THAT IS NOT TABOO FOR YOU.

No one can stop Musharraf from returning to his own country. He will return at his own chosen time. He will come back and lead Pakistan once again. His enemies can keep on daydreaming.

If and When Musharraf lands in Pakistan, he will be greeted with sticks and stones because eggs and tomatoes are too expensive in Pakistan to waste on this dictator.

Balwinder is right. We are being too kind to Musharaff. He was the guy who did the kargil backstabbing. He was the guy who prevented Nawaz from builidng up good relations with India.

I guess the trouble is that there is nobody in Pakistan who can be called a liberal.

Some of the Congress leaders had called Modi a monkey and a mouse.

This is the response from Modi.

–

Modi said: “A Congress leader called me a
monkey. I accept his certificate and want to remind him of the Ramayana where
monkeys led by Hanuman destroyed Ravana’s Lanka. If that is the case, yes I
am and a monkey. Another Congress leader called me a mouse. I am proud to
be a mouse for he is the carrier of Ganpati and it will be my privilege to have
Ganpati riding on my back.”

Why only Hindus should have claim on Rama and Krishna, why only Muslims should have claim on Prophet Mohmmad and Allah, why should only Sikhs have claim on Guru Nanak and Guru Granth Saheb and why can’t same be said for all the great people/prophets, like Moses, Budha, Mahavira who have graced this earth. Why can’t all these great belong to one religion or better belong to no religion?

In fact, I am upset that the Hyderabad people did not arise against this in unison, and rather let it as a Oswis issue to fight for the heritage site.

Golconda is an Indian heritage site; the stopgap temple that came up in the last 30 years is not.

Frankly like it or not, Kasab’s hanging has been done solely because 26/11 happened in Mumbai and in front of the TV Cameras.

–> The old conspiracy theorists who try to find an RSS link had swung into action after 26/11. Arundhati had written rotten articles in British press making light of the tragedy and linking it India’s own faults,

–> Congressman Digvijay Singh had backed jounralist Burney’s attempt to call it a RSS ki Saazish.

–> COngress man and Congress fund collector, A R Antulay had tried to link it HIndus

–> Congressman Rahul had tried to make light of LeT and call HIndutva a bigger threat.

–> Ambarish Mishra and Co claimed they were physically present and saw Mossad and RSS and RAW were behind it.

In the end because of TV cameras at the site of 26/11, these trolls could not make Kasab into an Afzal Guru.

Sad that it may sound– The presence of Bal Thakrey in Mumbai ensured that
Congress did not see a vote bank in saving Kasab’s life… as they see in saving Afzal Guru’s life.

Thanks to Mohan, went to the you tube and listened , by chance, one Hassan Nisar. The guy speaks in baritone, has good knowledge and the way he reduced Hamid Zaid as a caricature, was fascinating.
Not long back, people like Zaid, I believe, a group of 3-4 anchors, were darlings of media, for their TRP value and pakistani masses, adopted these charlatans, as academicians full of knowledge.
Previously, these guys were opposed by mild mannered Najam Sethi and some other people but Nisar, despite of being a Punjabi, gave Zaid , such a tongue lashing that Zaid was merely mumbling incoherently.
long live Nisar’s tribe.

Read an article by Vikram sood, regarding, Musharraf’s exhortations, ” India should do more, as it is bigger country”.
I tthink, India had already done too much, when in ‘47, it allowed tribals and pakistani soldiers to occupy large chunk of Kashmir. Returning 93000 soldiers in 71 war, Allowing free play in Nepal and Sri lanka, giving free hand to treat their minorities inhumanly, treating Hurriyat with kidgloves and and and…
what else he wants? Lal kile ki chaabi?? Musharraf wants India to withdraw troops from siachen, before pakistanis withdraw and leave the field for China and pakistan. Kabza group mentality of Musharraf and his ilk is well known.

भारतीय सरकार ने अजमल कसाब की फाँसी की खबर को अत्यंत गोपनीय रखा और किसी भी न्यूज़ चैनल को इसकी भनक तक नहीं लगी, परंतु निंदिया टीवी (NINDIA TV) चैनल के पत्रकार को किसी तरह इसका पता चल गया और वे उस गाड़ी मे पहुँच गये जिससे कसाब को पुणे जेल ले जाया जा रहा था. तत्पश्चात उन्होने कसाब से कुछ सवाल पूछे. आगे पढ़िए कसाब का साक्षात्कार:

पत्रकार ने कसाब से उसकी एक रंगीन तस्वीर भी मांगी, पर कसाब वो दे न सका और फांसी पे लटक गया

पत्रकार: तो कसाब जी कैसा महसूस कर रहे हैं आप?

कसाब: जी बहुत अच्छा लग रहा है, आप भी कभी जाइए अपनी फाँसी पर. अच्छा लगेगा!

पत्रकार: क्या आप पहले भी कभी फाँसी पे लटके हैं?

कसाब: जी नहीं, Debut Match है.

पत्रकार: अच्छा ये बताइए कि क्या चाहते हैं आप अभी?

कसाब: जी चाहता तो ये हूँ की मेरी जगह आप लटक जाओ!

पत्रकार: वो तो नहीं हो सकता लेकिन आप हमें ये बताएँ की जेल मे आप को कोई तकलीफ़ तो नहीं थी?

कसाब: जी बिल्कुल नहीं, जेल अच्छी जगह है. आपको भी वहीं चले जाना चाहिए.

पत्रकार: लेकिन वहाँ खाना कैसा मिलता है, सुना है आपको बिरयानी मिलती थी वहाँ?

कसाब: बिरयानी तो तब होती थी जब वो रसोईघर से चलती थी, मेरे पास आते आते तो खाली चावल बचते थे, चिकन-मटन जो होता था, पहले ही निकल जाता था

पत्रकार: सुनने मे आया है की आपको डेंगू भी हुआ था, वो कैसे हुआ?

कसाब: सुना तो ये है कि मच्छर के काटने से होता है, बाकी आप ज़्यादा समझदार हैं.

पत्रकार: क्या आपकी माँ से आपकी कोई बात हुई, कैसा महसूस कर रही थी वो आपकी फाँसी की खबर सुन कर?

कसाब: जी बात तो नहीं हो पाई पर यकीन जानिए खुशी से कूद नहीं पड़ी होंगी.

पत्रकार: क्या आपने अपनी वसीयत लिखी है?

कसाब: जी हाँ, एक फाँसी आपके नाम पर लिख छोड़ी है, मेरे जाने के बाद claim कर लीजिएगा.

पत्रकार: क्या आपको अभी डर लग रहा है?

कसाब: जी पहले तो नहीं लेकिन अब आपके सवालों से ज़रूर डर लग रहा है!

पत्रकार: क्या आपको अपनी करनी पर कोई पछतावा हो रहा है?

कसाब: जी कसम से, अगर पता होता की एक दिन ऐसे सवालों का जवाब देना पड़ेगा तो कभी कोई ग़लत काम ना करता.

पत्रकार: क्या आप हमारे दर्शकों को कोई संदेश देना चाहेंगे?

कसाब: जी यही संदेश है कि आपका चैनल ना देखा करें

(इसके बाद सुरक्षा बलों ने पत्रकार साहब को आख़िरकार वाहन से बाहर निकाला और साक्षात्कार वहीं समाप्त हुआ)

The bride kissed her father and placed some thing in his hand. Everyone in the room was wondering what was given to the father by the bride.

The father could feel the suspense in the air and all eyes were on him to divulge the secret and say something.

So he announced “Ladies and Gentlemen today is the luckiest day of my life.” Then he raised his hands with what his daughter gave him and continued…..

“My daughter finally, finally returned my Credit card to me.”

The whole audience including the priest erupted in laughter………. all except……the poor groom!!.

MOhan has advised me to let go of Engrich and part of me says, let it be. However deep inside I know that it is bad Muslims like Engrich who have created a Chasm between us Muslims and the rest of the world.

One can have sympathy on grounds of age, but Kasab was 19 and Hafeez Saeed is probably 60-65. So is there really a ground for leaving them on age grounds?

Anyway… I have a cricket match after last class now!! C U guys in the night!

Some friends asked what was the need to keep the hanging so secret . I think Akhilesh Singh has replied to their query… The UP Govt has banned all victory celeberations and rallies in UP lest they incite communal strife. By one stroke the Samajwadi Party has labelled the Muslims of UP as sympathisers of terrorists…shame on him.

This is for Vinno’s Link which is not there any more. Vinno thought it to be a great article :
Reduce VIP security and interrogate survivors, please
http://www.vijayvaani.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?aid=265
============================================

It hardly has any merit. I am talking about the operational part of the attack.

1) Before we move on to actual Mumbai operation, the writer should have understood the structure and principles of guerrilla warfare. Then there is another layer called special operation. On the top of it, we have a special layer called suicide mission.To top it all, we have a jihadi mission.

2) In Nepal, less than 600 maoists created an environment, that made the whole country being sieged by the Maoists. The professional army also could not rightly estimate their size and finally surrendered.

3) Special operation group is trained to attack the targets with precision and they co-ordinate their action plan matching their watches. Actions happen at different places, but they happen simultaneously. Each pair or buddy is assigned a particular task, and the focuses just on to that.

For example, even if one group fires at target 1, the other group will not fire or attack people near target 1. This second group would rather focus on to reaching target 2. So while the first group starts firing at target 1, the second would cooly travelling in local transport to reach the target 2. The second group would fire only when it reaches the target 2. This is how the Special Operation Group works. The terrorist group worked accordingly.

4) The terrorists divided themselves in pair, known as “buddy”. This is standard practice in all commando operations. Based on the same principle of pairing of racing partners. One guy keeps the road engaged, the other handles the map and communication. Though both of them would be trained as back up for each other.

5) Simultaneous attacks at different places happened due to precise nature of their planning. This helps create chaos and drags the defence down.

6) Unbelievable damage : The author does not believe 2 men could create havoc in a large hotel. She is wrong. When a simple fire happens, we have chaos. Here we are talking about terrorist attack. Nobody gets to know how many people are there. How many have died. Everybody is scared. Outside help can not enter, because hostages are involved. Damage to property can be achieved through powerful plastics.

7) Torture of Victims : Professional mercenaries rarely torture people while holding them as hostage, unless they have a specific purpose. But guerillas and jihadis do. They torture viciously every second they spend with people. They not only instill fear, but also take their own pent up anger. One does not need too many people to torture the victims. Simple abuses and a hit of butt would do the trick.
The assumptions of a separate group in hotel to torture the guest has no merit.

9) The super planners rarely stay in the thick of action. They stayed put in Karachi, away from the action like any normal planner would do.

10) The attack was success because of the following reasons :

a) Some method in the ramdomness.

b) Not worrying about the EXIT

c) Commitment to the cause

I know the article was written in 2008. Had I read the article then, I would have written the same. I am consciously avoiding things that I think would unfairly give me the advantage of the hindsight.

This saga of Indier Singh namdhari, Charima of Uttrakhand Minorities commission gives an idea of the loot behind such high sounding titles.

b) He gave government paid guards to liquor baron Ponty Chadha

c) He accompanied POnty using his government vehicle and perks and instigated him to murder.

It is time we look into the actual working of these Commissions. Anything goes in the name of minorities, even murder and theft.

2G report not mine, was told to sign it: Babu behind CAG audit

http://www.indianexpress.com/news/2g-report-not-mine-was-told-to-sign-it-babu-behind-cag-audit/1035020/0

=====

The parameters used in the CAG’s calculation were not tenable, Singh
said. “I was of the opinion that documents available with us were
categorical that charging of 2G spectrum was never recommended by Trai
(Telecom Regulatory Authority of India), nor has the government ever
contemplated any charges for the spectrum other than entry fee. In my
communications to headquarters I maintained there was no documentary
evidence to substantiate the calculations on the formula suggested by
CAG headquarters. However, my office forwarded presumptive loss
calculated on the basis on directions from CAG headquarters,” he said.

==

R P Singh told The Indian Express in a telephone interview that CAG
officials had visited Joshi’s residence on the Good Friday holiday on
April 22, 2011.

“I got to know from my team members that CAG officials including
senior CAG officials from headquarters went to the PAC chairman’s
residence and assisted him in preparing the PAC report. I cannot say
with certainty what exactly transpired at the meeting,” Singh said.

Asked if there was an attempt by the PAC chairman to influence
the outcome of the CAG’s 2G report before it was tabled in Parliament,
Singh said “it appears” from a note prepared by R B Sinha, D-G at CAG
headquarters, that there were “some telephone calls by the PAC chairman
to access the 2G report which was under preparation”.

All;
I have been reading and to some extent reacting to many posts from Indians and pakistanis here. Some of them are positive and some of them are negative.
What I want to say is that, neither Indians nor Pakistanis are 100% correct. For both groups, I can write a detailed message, but I will not. Just, who can afford and has inclination, to read, next 100 years by an American author, you can google, and you will find, who is writer, and how to get hold of it. I was pleasantly surprised to know that Hassan Nisar had access to this book.
You people are clinging to belifefs, which are outdated. What is the difference? Hinduism is not hurting future, docile and with gems of wisdom, written so long back, while Islam was relevant at a specific time, not now.
All the civilizations contributed significantly,when they were at the peak. Now, things are different. None of us will see those changes, but we can not deny them.India is going in right direction, while Pakistan is not.
Will be happy to engage with anyone, who is sufficiently informed.

Joshi formula among 3 CAG used to estimate 2G loss

http://www.indianexpress.com/
====
A CAG document dated July 8, 2010 says the audit team was instructed
by Shubha Kumar to work out a loss based on the formula suggested by
Joshi at the PAC meeting. The audit team, which did not approve of the
formula, forwarded a report with its objections.

“As desired by PD (RC) a para on loss of potential revenue on
issue of licences linking the prices to the FDI attracted by UAS licence
is placed opposite for perusal. (In) this connection it is submitted
that we are not on strong grounds in the argument made. However, since
Hqrs has instructed for a draft we may forward it along with our

Vinodji;
It is still not too late. Just govern India by rule of law and original congress spirit.
Believe me, not only NRIs but majority of Indian will support congress. Do not play to gallery, appeasement and vote bank policy of Ali and coolies.
Some pain will be there, but in the end, Cwill triumph.

What is tendulkar doing?
There is going be no faster erosion of the brand, of public goodwill, of respect then what we are seeing in Tendulkar;s case.
My daughter;’s friends– watching the match at my house are making fun of him!
I am sure there is a better way to go. He may be looking for that last burst of glory… maybe a double hundred before he announces his retirement.
But my gut feeling is that that public affection may just slide sown much before that.

Gujarati boy disappointed to know Tulika won’t be CM if Congress wins

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Ahmedabad: Jignesh Modi, who turned 18 earlier this year and will be voting in the upcoming assembly elections next month, is confused over whom to vote for.

Jignesh had almost made up his mind to vote for Congress after seeing TV and online ads featuring a girl called Tulika. However, he was heartbroken to learn that the girl was just a TV actress and not the Chief Ministerial candidate of the party.

“This is cheating!” Jignesh protested, “I thought she will become the Chief Minister if Congress won, but she’s just an actress! Now I have no idea what to do! I don’t even know who the Gujarat Congress head is!”

Jignesh is the first known case where an aam admi has made up his mind after being influenced by TV ads by political parties. A similar case was reported in 2004, where a man in Delhi was believed to have turned a BJP supporter after watching India Shiningads, but investigations later revealed him to be a television journalist and not an aam aadmi.

“You can sell soaps, deodorants, insurances, or tickets to samagam of Nirmal Baba through TV ads, but not political beliefs,” a marketing professor of IIM Ahmedabad told Faking News.

“You have to buy political support, you don’t sell it,” the professor explained.

However, Congress has not lost all hopes. They are confident that spinners stalwarts like Kapil Sibal and Manish Tewari can issue statements that might confuse people like Jignesh and make them believe that Tulika indeed could become the Chief Minister of Gujarat if they voted for Congress.

“It’s almost like making people believe that they will get to kiss Katrina Kaif if they buy Slice mango drink,” a Congress leader conceded that the task was not so easy.

“But then we have made people believe that there was no 2G scam!” he pointed out.

“Or we may even consider making Tulika the Chief Minister,” the Congress leader further said, “Just like Manmohan Singh is the Prime Minister.”

Genocide by an embedded BJP sympathiser in the blog support team.

This morning to my surprise I saw more than 25-30 posts deleted !
Most of them highlighting the shameless behaviour of BJP and its supporters.
The support guy seems to be an BJP sympathiser and without a sense of humour.

A political controversy has broken out over a Congress advertisement ahead of the next month’s crucial elections in Gujarat. The advertisement which talks about the malnutrition figures also shows a picture of a malnutritioned child.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has alleged that the picture shown in the advertisement was that of a Sri Lankan refugee camp shot by a UNICEF photographer.

This saga of Indier Singh namdhari, Charima of Uttrakhand Minorities commission gives an idea of the loot behind such high sounding titles.

a) As Chairman of MINORITIES COMMISSION , he should be a good character guy. But he is known for murder, extortion, property grabbing.

b) He gave government paid guards to liquor baron Ponty Chadha

c) He accompanied POnty using his government vehicle and perks and instigated him to murder.

Social media was abuzz yesterday about a Gujarat Congress ad which showed a sickly baby – as if to indicate that malnourishment was rampant in the state. The photograph has been lifted – the social media claims – from the website of a Christian organisation. The note accompanying the photo states the baby is a victim of floods in Sri Lanka: http://iexp.in/Ivu4076
