Pakistani deep state and the illusion of peace.

I was listening to Arif Mohammed Khan, in one of his speeches, where he reveals the conversation between Mosses and Allah, which are mentioned in the Hadiz,( one of the holy books of Islam ). In it,  Mosses said to Allah, " Oh Allah, when you become agonized with our people, capture everything from us, but leave our brains( intellect) alone. Allah replied, "No! When I get agonized, the first thing that I take away from people, are their brains, rest falls apart and collapses on its own".
Perhaps the problem with the acromanial territory of Pakistan, which unfortunately became a nation-state in 1947, has lost the power of critical and rational thinking. ( A Hadiz revealed previously, has come true). If we turn back, to the dark pages of history, and read the tragic story of partition and it's origins, all that a normal and a sensitive person would get is a handful of tears, or probably, into traumatization. Because the doctrinal basis of the creation of Pakistan is Hindu hatred and persecution. In fact, it would be a surprise for most people to know that Pakistan, was the first Islamic state. Long before the ISIS ( Islamic State of Iraq and Syria). Because it has claimed 1 million lives, during the partition in 1947 and 3 million lives during the Bangladesh liberation war in 1971, and most of them were the Bangla people. It is, in many ways a multiplier effect of violence, brute naked savagery rattled with the ugliest form of troglodyte behavioural patterns, in the history of India's civilization.

#The origins of Pakistan, in British India;

Alongside the Non-Cooperation movement, that was led by Gandhiji, the Khilafat issue sprang up alarmingly, as Turkey witnessed a gruesome treatment by the British in the first world war. Since the Sultan of Turkey was considered the spiritual leader of the Muslims, it was considered to be a direct attack on Islam, and the perception of  " Islam being under threat" came about. Thought the Ali Brothers, who spearheaded the Khilafat movement in India ( Khilafat: An ancient form of Islamic state), did not actually have any idea, of creating a separate State for Muslims, this movement sowed the seeds of an institutionalized division, between the Hindus and Muslims, and more importantly, the doctrine of a separate identity of the Muslim community in the subcontinent took a steep radicalized face. This radically infused Islamism gained strong political immunity, when the Muslim majority provinces, started electing the leaders of the Muslim league mainly. This lead to the demand of the The state of Pakistan. On 23rd of March 1940, in the Lahore session, the Muslim League, under the leadership of Mohammed Ali Jinnah, passed a resolution to partition India and create Pakistan for Muslims. One lakh Muslim delegates took part in this session. When, Congress under the leadership of Gandhiji raised the slogan of "Quit India", to the British empire, Jinnah raised the slogan    " Divide and Quit". This was the level of uncompromising determination, the Muslim league portrayed then.
Soon after the 2nd world war, the demand and agitation for Independence of India and partition of Pakistan arose parallelly. This culminated in the Formation of Pakistan with Bengal and Punjab provinces being amputated from the territory of India.

# History and politics of partition: 

Throughout the process of negotiations that went in the formation of modern India and two-nation theory, with its separatist nature and communal character, life was made miserable to the people. Not just communal harmony got disrupted massively, but even the fundamental existence, became extremely hostile.  Mohammed Ali Jinnah repudiated "the democratic system of parliamentary government on the conception of a homogeneous nation and the method of counting heads" as impossible in India, and publicly expressed the view that neither minority safeguards nor separate electorates could have the Muslim from the congress raj, at the centre. When the  Congress ministries in the provinces resigned, the Muslim League observed a day of deliverance and thanksgiving throughout India.
In January 1940, Mr Jinnah declared that the Hindus and Muslims formed two separate nations "who both must share the governance of their common motherland". Three months later, in the Lahore Session of the Muslim League ( March 1940 ), he declared that the Muslim nation must have a separate independent state. In other words, he now advocated the establishment of Pakistan or a federation of the Punjab, North-West frontier or Afghan province, Kashmir, Sindh and Baluchistan in a sovereign state. The idea had been first brought into prominence by a group of young Muslims at the time of the round table conference, but had found no support, and was characterised by Muslim leaders as " a student scheme ", " chimerical and impracticable ". Even the modified proposal of Sir Muhammad Iqbal for a loose federation of Pakistan, comprising one or two Muslim states, with the rest of India, first made in 1930, and repeated in 1939, had not been widely accepted. The idea of Pakistan as a sovereign state was revived by Mr Jinnah and formally endorsed by the Muslim League in 1940. From that date, all attempts at reconciliation between the congress and the League foundered on this issue of Pakistan. The government could also now plausibly refuse the congress demand for a national government on the ground that the Muslims were opposed to it.
        On 19th February, the British Prime Minister Clement Atlee announced that three members of the Cabinet would visit India " to promote, in conjunction with the leaders of Indian opinion, the early realization of full self-government in India." Later, on 15th March, he referred to complete Independence as a possible goal of Indian constitutional development, if Indians so chose. The cabinet mission arrived at Delhi in March 1946 and held a series of conferences with the leaders of the Congress and the league. As no agreement was possible between them, the Mission issued a statement on 16th May 1946, giving in broad outline their idea of the future government of India and laying down the procedure for framing a detailed constitution.
       The Cabinet Mission recommended a federal type of government for the whole of India including the States. The Federal Government would deal with Foreign Affairs, Defence and Communication, and the other powers would be vested in the provinces and states. British India was to be divided into three groups of provinces;  one comprising Punjab, the North-West Frontier Province, Sindh and Baluchistan; a second comprising Bengal and Assam; and the third the rest of India.
The Union Constitution was to be framed by a constituent assembly of 296 members elected on a communal basis by the provincial Legislative Assemblies, and the representatives of States which joined the Union, while the representatives of the three groups of provinces were to meet separately to draw up the constitution of the Provinces in each group. Each Province was given the right to opt-out of the Federal Union after the first election of its Legislative council under the new constitution. The Cabinet Mission further recommended the establishment of an interim National Government by the reconstruction of the Viceroy's Executive Council from among the leaders of the different parties.
        On 6th June, the Muslim League accepted the Cabinet Mission's proposals reiterating that the attainment of the goal of a complete sovereign Pakistan still reminds the unalterable objective of the Muslims in India. The Congress rejected Viceroy's Proposal for an interim Government but agreed to participate in the Constituent Assembly to frame the Construction. The Cabinet Mission left India on 29th June.
    The Muslim League demand that the Viceroy should proceed with his scheme for an interim Government even though the Congress would not take part in it. This the Viceroy refused to do, for he had already declared that it was to be a Government of all the Parties who had accepted the Cabinet Mission's plan. There were also sharp differences between Muslim League and Congress over the interpretation of the cabinet Mission's plan.
      After a somewhat acrimonious controversy, the Muslim League formally withdrew its acceptance of the Cabinet Mission's plan. The Viceroy thereupon, by his previous declaration, reconstituted his Executive Council without any representatives of the League. This complete triumph of the Congress provoked a violent reaction among separatist Muslims, and the Muslim League fixed upon 16th August 1946, as the day of " Direct Action." On that day, while some of the supporters of the League contented themselves with demonstrations of a peaceful type, a rowdy section in Calcutta got completely out of control. Many Hindus were killed and their houses and shops were looted and burnt. Soon the Hindus retaliated and for several days, the streets of Calcutta were the scene of communal riots of the worst type. Neither the League Ministry nor the governor and the Viceroy, who was ultimately responsible for law and order, miserably failed to take adequate steps to stop the Hideous violence there disgraced the name of the first city of modern India.
               The Executive Council of the Viceroy, under the guidance of Pandit Nehru, worked as a cabinet and changed the whole spirit and outlook of the Indian government. Lord Wavell, whose power thus became almost non-existent, now sought to bring in the League members as a counterpoise in the name of communal parity. He told Pandit Nehru that the league had agreed to join the Constituent Assembly, and reconstituted the Executive Council by including the members of that organisation. The introduction of this new element destroyed the team spirit of the Council, as the League members openly repudiated the Idea of collective responsibility. What was worse, the League did not join the Constituent Assembly, and Mr Jinnah made the startling disclosure that it had never agreed to do so. It was an awkward situation for the Viceroy, and the British Government did nothing to improve it when it declared, on 6th December, that if the Muslim League did not join the Constituent Assembly, the decision of this body could not be implemented by the British Government, so far at least as it affected the Provinces with a Muslim majority. Nevertheless, the Constituent Assembly met on 9th December 1946, without the members of the League. The tense atmosphere continued till 20th February 1947, when the British Government made an important announcement of the policy. It declared its intention to quit India by June 1948 and appointed Lord Mountbatten as Viceroy of India to arrange for the transfer of authority from British to Indian hands. 
     this momentous proclamation evoked hearty enthusiasm all over India, save in the ranks of the Muslim League, which once the Punjab and soon extended to the North-West Frontier Province, and lootings, arson, murder, and the violence occurred on a large scale over a wide area. These successive communal outbreaks had a very unfortunate consequence. The Hindu and Sikhs, who had hitherto been strongly in favour of a United India, now gradually came to realise its impracticability, and demanded the partition of Punjab and Bengal if Muslims refused to join the Constituent Assembly.
Lord Mountbatten assumed office as Viceroy on 24th March 1947, and on 3rd June broadcast the famous declaration laying down " the method by which power will be transferred from British to Indian Hands". The main points of this new policy may be summed up as follows:
1. If the areas with a majority of Muslim population so desired, they should be allowed to form a separate Dominion, and a new Constituent  Assembly would be set up for that purpose. But in that case, there would be a partition of Bengal and Punjab if the representatives of Hindu majority districts in the Legislatures of those Provinces so desired.
2. A the referendum would be taken in the North-West Frontier Province to ascertain whether it should join Pakistan or not.
3. The district of Sylhet would be joined to the Muslim area in Bengal after the views of the people had been ascertained by a referendum. 
4. Boundary Commissions would be set up to define the boundaries of Hindu and Muslim Provinces in Bengal and Punjab.
5. The legislation would be introduced in the current session of the Parliament for immediately conferring Dominion status on India ( or the two Dominions if the partition is decided upon), without any prejudice to the final decisions of the Constituent Assembly ( or Assemblies) in this respect. 
        this historic pronouncement was received with mixed feelings by the public. The Hindus and nationalists of all persuasions deplored the vivisection of India, while the Muslims of the League were not fully satisfied with the "truncated and moth-eaten Pakistan", as Mr.Jinnah once described it. 
               It was, however, generally agreed that the new scheme offered the Best practicable solution of the Indian the problem, so far as it could be envisaged it, and the partition of Punjab and Bengal Government, with Sir Cyril Radcliffe as Chairman of both. The Indian independence Bill, passed by the British Parliament on 1st July 1947, without any dissent, fixed upon 15th august, as the date of transfer of Authority. Accordingly, at midnight on 14-15th August, a special session of the Constituent Assembly was held in Delhi. It solemnly declared the independence of India as a part of British Commonwealth and appointed Lord Mountbatten the first Governor-General of the new Indian Dominion. Mr Jinnah was chosen as the first Governor-General of Pakistan, which soon took steps to summon its own Constituent Assembly.

#Decoding the Pakistani deep state

Defining a deep state: The deep state, is believed to be a clandestine network entrenched inside the government agencies, and supposedly controls state policy behind the scenes, while the democratically elected process and the government office-bearers are merely figureheads who are either co-opted or become the spokespersons to the deep, entrenched, establishment. In simple terms, the deep the state represents "the state, within a state".
 The components of the Pakistani deep state:
1) Military establishment and the ISI
2) Bureaucracy or the power elites of the civil service
3) Zamindars or the Feudal landlords
4) The Islamist Clergy or Clerics.
all these sections share essential commonalities. Most of them share a Punjabi ethnicity, Urdu as a language being artificially superimposed upon themselves, have subjected the entire Population of Pakistan to a linguistic genocide of Punjabi, Shindi, Python, Kacchi, Baluchi, Memni, Gujrathi and a bunch of other regional languages so, basically, these are a set of strange people,  who hate themselves ethnically and believe to be the decedents of Turks and Arabs, who were the invaders to the Indian subcontinent from the high lands of central Asia. The most important shared commonality is Political and Constitutionally sanctioned Islamism. Islamism is a fascist ideology that uses Islam as a political tool to establish its realm and to fulfil the dream of a worldwide Caliphate. By definition, an Islamic state lays the ground for end-of-times battle to eliminate or dominate all non-Muslims, in particular, Jews and Hindus, referred to in the Islamist parlance as "hanood wa Yahood". In the case of Pakistan, they follow the doctrine of " Gazwa-e-Hind", which aims to wipe out the Hindu civilization from the world. 
1) Military establishment and the ISI: It is famously or Rather infamously referred to Pakistan that,  " in republics, the state has the army, but in Pakistan, the the army has the state. It is an open secret in at least the contemporary parlance of Geopolitics.   In 1958, General (later field marshal) Ayub Khan took over the reins of Pakistan. Since then, the military has shaped the the destiny of Pakistan, either directly or indirectly. Towards the end of the The 1960s, Ayub had strengthened the military’s hold over the State machinery and inaugurated a Constitution establishing a presidential form of government, elected by “basic electors” – a concept which was as vague as it sounds. Meanwhile, India had begun to take baby steps into the world of democracy. Proving critics wrong, India successfully held four general elections. The Centre, aided by several states, also introduced legislation to implement land reforms, albeit with limited success. From the 1950s onwards, when ethnic sentiments emerged in East Pakistan over the alleged economic and cultural indifference by Pakistan's western wing. Separated from each other by over a thousand miles, religion was the only common factor between the two wings of the country. The obsession with the theory meant that ethnic and language issue was never given serious consideration. Since the establishment of Pakistan, it was amply made clear that Urdu would continue to be the national language of the newly carved nation-state. Federalism as an idea never took off in Pakistan. In 1955, four provinces of the western wing – Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa – were unified under the One Unit scheme to bring "parity" between the two wings of Pakistan. The plan also nullified the numerical advantage of the Bengalis, ending up alienating the eastern wing. The controversial scheme was ultimately scrapped in 1970.The Anti-Bengali sentiment transgressed the economic realm too. The eastern wing was discriminated in the allocation of central funds, with western wing receiving 70 per cent of the funds between 1950 and 1970. All these factors forced Awami leader Mujibur Rahman to seek more autonomy in the 1960s. However, Pakistan’s military dictatorship brooked no dissent as Mujibur and fellow leaders were jailed for their demands. Things reached the nadir when Bengali nationalists declared independence in March 1971. Nine months later, Bangladesh was born. While "Indira's India" was flirting with authoritarianism, a truncated Pakistan finally saw the dawn of democracy under Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. In 1973, Bhutto became Pakistan’s first democratically elected leader after drafting the country’s third Constitution. For the first time in Pakistan's political history, a government pursued an ideology-based policy. Bhutto embarked on a socialist sojourn, nationalizing heavy industries, addressing labour issues, implementing two phases of land reforms – with limited success and improving ties with the Warsaw Pact countries. In the process, Bhutto created a political ideology called "Bhuttoism". It was probably the only time in subcontinent's history when both countries seemed to be on the same page on the question of economy. While India applied the break on authoritarianism with electing the Janata Party, Pakistan applied reverse gear to return to dictatorship. On 5 July 1977, General Muhammad Zia ul Haq overthrew the democratically elected Bhutto government. The racoon-eyed Zia cruelly put his former boss Bhutto to death in an obscure murder case and went on to rule for 11 years. Lacking a constituency of his own, Zia introduced Sharia law in a bid to gain the approval of Islamists. While reneging on his promise to hold elections till 1985, Zia consolidated the military as part of Operation Cyclone – the covert US plan to back Mujahideens in Soviet-occupied Afghanistan. Zia's policies created the mullah-military complex – a byword for rabid Islamisation of the State machinery. The dominant moderate voices were sidelined while Islamism gained ground in Pakistan. The general was also single-handedly responsible for the rise of Pakistan as the "motherboard of terrorism". When Zia was planning a non-party the election in 1985, Rajiv Gandhi had just won the largest ever mandate in India's history. India and Pakistan were again at the crossroads of destiny in the mid-90s. While India was struggling with coalition politics in its 50th year of Independence, Pakistan had elected its most powerful government. In the February 1997 elections, Nawaz Sharif secured his second term as prime minister with a two-third majority.1998 will go down in history as the year that changed the strategic balance of the region. India conducted its first thermonuclear tests — Shakti I and II — on 11 and 13 May, while Pakistan followed up with its own tests, codenamed Chagai I and II on 28 and 30 May. A day before Atal Bihari Vajpayee was to take oath as the leader of the first majority-enjoying the coalition government in India’s history; General Pervez Musharraf disposed Sharif on the night of 12 October 1999. And the reason for Vajpayee’s ascendency to power and Sharif’s downfall was the same: Kargil War. While the bane of terrorism binds India and Pakistan, Pakistan’s sponsorship of terrorism sets India apart. In 2013, Pakistan saw a democratic transition of power for the first time – a significant event in the country’s chequered democracy. However, no Pakistan prime minister has ever completed a full five-year term. The one who was expected to break the jinx – Sharif – was dismissed by the Pakistan Supreme Court on corruption charges and disqualified from contesting elections. He is currently languishing in prison and his bitter rival Imran Khan is set to be sworn in as the next Prime Minister.
 The well known ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence )  is the mastermind of most of these strategies, it works in tandem with the military forces in realizing its goals and accomplishing its missions. ISI happens to be the main source finance for all the terrorist groups and organizations that operate in Pakistan, they are referred to as "good terrorists" in the circles of the intelligence establishment, ISI also plays a vital role in assisting the recruitment process and training of these terrorists. The ISPR( Inter-Services Public Relations), a less familiar organization, which officially is the media wing of Pakistan is the main propaganda machinery of Pakistan, that controls virtually all the media houses in Pakistan, both print and virtual, also spread venomous perceptions and influence the opinion of the world, mainly to flair up anti-Indian sentiments, with well crafted vicious lies and fabricated narratives.         
Though the army does not seem to be taking over the reins of the country anytime soon, its influence on the government is only expected to get stronger now. there are also some sources within the Pakistani Media, that says, Army does not want to do a coup anymore, because it has created the power structure, in each and every fabric of the Pakistani power structure that, without the approval and sanction of the Army Chief, no one can sit on the chair of the Prime Minister of Pakistan. So, it can easily be assumed that future Prime ministers will be mere subordinates, to the Generals or stooges in the absentia of any real power.
2) Bureaucrats or the power elites of the civil service: They are the main hawkers, wheeler-dealers, peddlers, brokers, middlemen and agents who work as a bridge between the Military and Islamist clergy. This network includes diplomats as well. This network acts as the defender in chief of all the un-holy Political and Economic acts that Pakistan commits on its soil and also abroad, it is this part of the deep state that constantly works towards bringing in international funding and military assistance across the world. As an Institution, it resembles the housekeeping staff of a Hotel that cleans up the washrooms and disposes of the garbage. It plays a major role in hosting and organizing all the Indo-Pak cultural ties program such as the Aman Ki Asha, which was held a couple of years ago. Any artist or actors who knock the doors of Bollywood, seeking opportunities need to be approved by this cartel of top Bureaucrats and be sanctioned finally by the ISI, which indeed tells us how much trust we must be levied on the artists who enter from Pakistan. Moreover, they are set of feudal elites who are soaked in vicious circles of nepotism, corruption, opportunism, and quid-pro-quos, to become filthy rich and acquire an everlasting sphere of influence in all sections of the Pakistani society.    
  3) Zamindars of the Feudal lords: perhaps the most unidentified and often neglected amongst the circles of Intelligentsia in India and the world are the notorious zamindars of Pakistan. They are the most medieval and exploitative section of people in South Asia. Each one of them owns huge tracts of land about an average of 150-200 hectares of land. Most people who work in their lands are bonded labourers. It is estimated that close to 90% of the agricultural labourers in  Pakistan are bonded labourers. It is very important to mention them in the deep state structure as they act as the typhoons and undeclared dons who run the Politics of Pakistan, who form the main source and of funding and financing the parallel economy( Black market) of Pakistan. This chain of finances is spread over from the military to bureaucracy and clerics to terrorist groups. So, is quite evident that the Zamindars from the epicentre of Pakistan's malicious and notorious nexus of the rampant mafia, that finances the deep state of Pakistan.
4) The Islamist clergy or clerics; This is the section of people who became the ideologues of fascist Islamism which became the first Islamic state in the world who's prime identity was based on the religion of Islam. The entire movement of the Islamic State of Pakistan, gained a violent momentum, in pre-independent India "Haat me lota much me paan leke rahege Pakistan" (With a Tumbler in the hand and paan in the mouth, we will at all cost have a Pakistan) " Urdu-sthan Banega Pakistan" ( Pakistan will become the land of Urdu). Soon after the partition, incidents of rape and genocide of religious minorities became common. Incidents like Hindu women being tied to a pole, naked, gang-raped, their breasts being cut off and left alone to bleed to death, became common in the streets of Karachi. These events were, espoused, sponsored, advocated, sanctioned, championed and deliberated by the clerics of Pakistan. Even today the status of women in Pakistan is no better. They were instrumental in literally wiping out the Hindu and Sikhs, who lived in that land, for millennia, in peace and tandem, with a multilingual, multi-religious and multi-ethnic communities. Today there are hardly any Hindu, Sikh or Christian leftover in Pakistan, even though some exist, they live in extremely hostile socio-political conditions, hiding their original religious identity. The mullas, Maulans, Imams, muftis and qadis literally run a theocratic state in Pakistan, without any checks and balances. They play an instrumental role in brainwashing the youth of Pakistan to join the armed jihad and are the religious figureheads of the Islamist terror groups and fundamentalists of Pakistan like Laskar-e-taiba, Jamat-ud-dhava, Jaish-e-Muhammad Hizbul mujahedin. They are the masterminds, strategist-in-chiefs, and Ideological faculty of the terror groups and activities across the world and particularly in India.

#Doctrine of Gazwa-e-Hind: Pakistan strongly believes and espouses the doctrine of Gazwa-e-hind, which means the end of Hindu civilization, and the establishment of the Islamic State in Hindustan or India. Supposedly in one of the controversial Hadiz of Islamic theology, there is a mention of Gazwa-e-Hind, Gazwa, in Islamic parlance, is a holy war led by Prophet himself, which means it has a complete sanction to be sacred by the the virtue of Allah. In that specific hadiz, it is supposedly mentioned that to attain "qaum-e-qayamat" which means the end of times or establishment of peace, two armies would head in two specific directions, one towards Rome, i.e. Modern Europe and another towards Hind, which is India. The army headed for European destruction is ISIS( Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) and the the second army must be the Pakistani State is the belief that is vehemently indoctrinated into most Pakistan, and only after this process is complete, the Muslims will receive a permanent seat in Jannat ( heaven). Clerics in Pakistan constantly preach through their sermons and fatwas, that " Pakistanis should consider themselves fortunate that Allah has bestowed the honour to wage the war against India to them". " The genesis of Pakistan was prophesied to defeat India and Hinduism at the hands of Pakistan". When a country has waged war 4 times officially, occupied Half of Kashmir's territory illegally has amputated, punctured, bled and continues to bleed India, constantly through its proxies and non-state actors, we are talking about establishing peace with them, and have become frustrated and ham-stringed with our own efforts. So it's not a paradoxical state of nature, that India is unable to come to terms with, but with the dichotomy of peddling with a modern democratic nation-state, and the medieval theocratic feudal state, which aims to destroy the former.   

#Conclusion: Dealing with a notorious rogue nation of Pakistan in terms of modern-day diplomatic and political negotiations has become next to impossible. India must slowly and steadily work for the dismemberment of the Islamic State and the deep state of Pakistan. In the present socio-political conditions that Pakistan is traversing, establishing peace seems an absolute illusion. Although Pakistan is facing diplomatic isolation across the world and is losing its credibility, not only as a safe haven to terror but also a political entity, India must work more aggressively and strategically to amputate Pakistan, into several autonomous political entities, so that backbone of its Islamism can be steadily broken. Pakistan is a living testament to the bankrupt idea of an Islamic State. The success of its enterprising and hospitable citizens stands in contrast to the failure of the state. Imagine the possibilities of a Pakistan free from the shackles of its Islamist tormentors.

Dr C N Manjunath’s humane approach in Politics; The need of the Hour.

 Dr C N Manjunath’s sudden plunge into politics has come as a surprise to many, but it also raised eyebrows because of a few critics saying that he wouldn’t have a successful trajectory in his political life. But, after watching several interviews and statements that he has given post his name being announced from Bangalore Rural Lok Sabha constituency for the 2024 general elections, one can definitely understand his simple, humane and noble approach towards politics. Although his service as a cardiologist and the Director of Jayadeva Hospital, Bangalore, is well known to everyone, his entry into politics is bound to create a new wave of humanism in the public life of everyone who is directly or indirectly connected with politics. Dr Manjunath, talks about the concept of ‘workplace wellness’ in one of his interviews, where he stresses on the welfare and wellbeing of especially the clerical and blue-collar staff. His firm belief is that without ensuring their happiness, no organiza...

The Trump factor of asylum U turn. Damaging the American composite culture.

US President Donald Trump’s administration will implement a new asylum policy at the border that will result in potentially thousands of asylum seekers being turned away before they can plead their case in court. The guidance issued on Wednesday also applies to refugee applicants — immigrants seeking similar protections in the US who are still abroad, media reported. Under the new guidance given to the officers who interview asylum seekers at the US’ borders and evaluate refugee applications, claims based on fear of gang and domestic violence will be immediately rejected. In addition, the guidance tells officers they should consider whether an immigrant crossed the border illegally and weigh that against their claim, potentially rejecting even legitimate fears of persecution if the immigrant crossed illegally. It says officers “may find an applicant’s illegal entry, including any intentional evasion of US authorities, and including any conviction for illegal entry where the al...

History and Politics of India's Partition; Tracing the genesis of communal antagonism.

The People of India at large, in their collective conscience, have forgotten the history and significant events that unfolded in the making of the modern Indian Republic. They have forgotten the communal travesties caused by the partition, unleashed by the forces fighting for the establishment of an Islamic state. The CAA legislation is a delayed justice to a historical genocide that broke the cultural and civilizational unity of Bharat and amputated it into an acronym called Pakistan. Their Gazwa e hind doctrine and the deep state have a sole purpose, which is to destroy India!!  and thereby the venerable Sanathana Dharmic civilization in total. If one needs to understand this destructive Pakistani-Islamist phenomenon, knowing the broad outline of the origins of two-nation theory, history and travesty of the partition of India, and the ideological foundations of the first modern Islamic state, "The Islamic Republic of Pakistan" is a must. History and politics of partiti...
