The tyranny of stone pelters

The law and order enforcement in the state of Jammu and Kashmir (the integral part of India ) has become an enormous challenge for our armed forces personnel.  Intensively increasing attacks on the armed forces during counter-terror operations and patrolling has reached an intolerable stage. But our soldier is in such a situation in Kashmir where on his front, he has to encounter terrorist and at the rear side, the stone pelting Kashmiri, standing in between them, who is he fighting for ?? This question might incidentally strike our soldiers. But one must acknowledge the fact that they are not personal enemies of either the jihadi- terrorists or the people of Kashmir. They are fighting for the greatest cause of preserving and protecting the sovereignty, unity, integrity and the national security of India. All of pseudo-intelligentsia ( students, professors, research-scholars etc)and ultra-liberal media must understand the fact that the Constitution of India has given them the freedom of speech and expression, and their liberty is not above the mandate of the Constitution, which is to uphold and protect the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India ( fundamental duties article 51A(b) ). Thanks to social media, the voices that were so far censored by the ultra-liberal media houses to preserve their vested interests, are now finding adequate space for expression.  The videos coming out ( all kinds ) have shaken every patriotic citizen to the core. In such extreme situations of threats, tieing up a stone to an army jeep to control the aggravating attacks and to bring about a stringent law and order enforcement is justifiable. None of the citizens of India wants the Kashmiri to suffer, but they must, by all means, stop supporting the jihadi forces. Finally it's not only the responsibility of our government of India or the state government in Kashmir, but of all the civil society groups, NGOs, Media houses, think thanks scholars among others, to win over the hearts of Kashmiris and make them stand for the Idea of India and to make them reverberate with Indian Nationalism. We may win Kashmir by successful militancy but winning over the hearts of Kashmiris is the challenging task at hand. I strongly believe that Kashmir was, is and will always be an integral part of India.

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...

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...

Tracing the development of a new minilateral USA-Israel-UAE-India

Ever since the Abraham Accord came into being in 2020 and normalised the relations between UAE and Israel, a lot of geostrategic developments are taking place in the middle eastern region. New alliances, partnerships and multilateral networking have picked up quite swiftly. In this strong tailwind of changes, a new alliance including India, UAE, USA and Israel has been in the works. The Foreign Ministers of these countries met for the first time in October 2021 and pitched for the development of stable strategic partnerships with each other. This alliance is also being called the West Asian quad because of its perceived geopolitical implications on the emerging world order. This alliance is said to be a result of minilateral diplomacy, wherein there is a lot of behind the scenes discussions going on to foster and develop the relationship constructively. The primary objectives of this alliance are going to be on economics and infrastructure followed by water and environment, security he...
