Ashutosh, Managing Director of IBN 7 says
that he saw NSUI members bringing stones
and brick and throwing at Police. He tried
to stop them but they didn't listen. He
says that he has seen many revolutions
and police and politicians induce their
workers in crowd who do violence so that
police can react and stop revolution. He
blames government and police for
violence. Students are paying price of their
tactics.
This is what members of Team IAF saw at
Rashtrapati Bhawan. A girl who is well
known member of NSUI came to
Rashtrapati Bhawan and started abusing
Policemen and started provoking the crowd
to use violence. When some peaceful
protestors tried to stop her from provoking
the crowd she abused them too. Then
some more members of NSUI reached the
spot and started breaking he barricades.
Then police started the lathi charge on
students and the girl who was abusing was
not even touched by the police whereas all
other girls were beaten badly. PLEASE
NOTE THAT NSUI IS STUDENT UNION OF
CONGRESS. PEOPLE OF GOVERNMENT ARE
OING VIOLENCE TO STOP THIS
REVOLUTION. POLICE IS ALSO
SUPPORTING THEM. PLEASE MAINTAIN
PEACE AND DON'T GET INTO ANY VIOLENT

Why is the Congress being EGOISTIC and not calling a special session of the parliament to pass the pending Cr.P.C. (Criminal Procedure Code) amendment bill in the parliament? It shows all the urgency to pass the FDI bill, but no urgency to pass the pending criminal law amendment bill. Where there is a will, there is a way.
The highhanded behaviour of the police with the crowd is a result of the arrogance of the Congress govt. The police acts on the orders of these thugs and not independently. What is pitiable is that Commissioner of Police would be a scapegoat for following the hardline orders of the political masters. These political masters have pitched the common man against each other (Police and the protesters), end result being the unfortunate loss of police constable. What is even more shameful is the Home Minister calling the entire lot of protesters a MOB. Although violence in any and every form is detestable, it is the Congress govt. which is to be blamed to bring the situation to such level by testing the patience of the common man.
Maun Mohan Singh was then forced to give his dumb speech which was too little, too late. Shame!!

Really? I thought it was an executive decision, which upon the request of pointless opposition was discussion and voted for in parliament, no?

लगता है वामपंथी दल कांग्रेस कों सत्ता में लाने के लिये और मोदी को हराने के लिये कुछ भी करने के लिये तैयार है ! ये कांग्रेस के खिलाफ चुनाव लड़ते है और बाद में कांग्रेस को ही समर्थन दे देते है ! लेकिन केरल और पश्चिम बंगाल के लोग ये बात समझें तब ना !
वैसे बीजेपी केरल, बंगाल, असम, आंध्र प्रदेश जैसे बड़े बड़े राज्यों जनाधार बढाने के लिये क्या कर रही है?????????
मित्रो, बहुत साल पहले मैंने कादम्बिनी पत्रिका में भारत
की अब तक की सबसे कम उम्र की महिला सांसद
तारकेश्वरी सिन्हा के कुछ संस्मरण पढ़ा था ...
तारकेश्वरी सिन्हा प्रथम लोकसभा में बिहार के शिवहर से
चुनी गयी थी उस समय उनकी उम्र मात्र 25 साल थी ..
वो बेहद खुबसुरत और प्रतिभाशाली थी ..
उनसे जब कादम्बिनी के सपादक राजेन्द्र अवस्थी ने
पूछा की आपने राजनीती और कांग्रेस पार्टी से
तौबा क्यों कर ली ?
तारकेश्वरी जी का जबाब था की मैंने ये बात अब तक अपने
पति को ही बताई थी .. एक बार मुझे नेहरु
जी का बुलावा आया .. मै जब गयी तो नीचे नेहरु
जी का निजी सचिव जान एस मुथैया अकेले ही था .. उसने
मुझे थोड़ी देर रुकने को कहा फिर वो शराब पीकर आया और
मेरे से छेड़छाड़ करनी शुरू कर दी .. फिर मैने उसे एक थप्पड़
दिया और वापस चली आई .. अगले दिन मैंने जब नेहरु जी से
मुथैया की इस शर्मनाक हरकत के बारे में बताया तो नेहरु
जी बड़ी निर्लज्जता से हँसते हुए बोले . ..तुम
इतनी खूबसुरत हो की कोई भी तुम्हे देखेगा तो छेड़ने
लगेगा ..अगर मै तुम्हे अकेले में मिलु तो शायद मै भी अपने
आपको रोक न सकू ...
फिर उस दिन ही मैंने सासद से त्यागपत्र दे दिया और
राजनीती से तौबा कर ली ..
मित्रो, ये घटना मैंने इसलिए लिखी है क्योकि मैंने
देखा की टीवी पर कुछ कांग्रेसी दिल्ली गैगरेप की घटना पर
गहरा दुःख अदा कर रहे है .. जबकि ये दोगले कांग्रेसी नेहरु
के बलात्कार पर खामोश रहते ह

Hope you find this article by noted defence and strategic affairs analyst Bharat Verma as interesting as I found it to be.
Indian military capabilities shrink rapidly while the threats multiply
Instead of removing poverty, the politician turned poverty into business of vote-bank-politics. Result: Sixty-two years later Maoists control forty per cent of the Indian Territory and the insurgents in the border states have influence in another ten per cent, both with explicit support of external actors.
While the Army is battling insurgents for decades in Kashmir and in the Northeast, in all likelihood, it will be drawn into conflict with the Maoists to reclaim territories under their control.
This is a direct consequence to the demonstrated incompetence of the inept and crumbling Civil Administration. Resources of the Army, Air force and the Navy are already at an all time low and are over stretched, undermining the capability of the Indian military machine to fulfill its primary role of coping with the challenges of external threat.Beijing and Islamabad are delighted with New Delhi's clumsy response.
Couple the internal threat with burgeoning external threat - Beijing boasts of capability to create three-pronged mischief on the Indian Borders. First, China has built elaborate infrastructure and potent military capability in Tibet.
Second, it not only synergized anti-India activities with Pakistan but has also positioned elements of the PLA inside PoK.
Third, China quietly propelled their proxy Maoists (Nepal) to the centre-stage in Katmandu. Not to mention the advantage China gained in Sri Lanka while India lost some.
Beijing now influences almost 7500 km of land opposite Indian borders.
The Indian Navy - grappling with increasing incidents of piracy, securing the EEZ, the 7500-km of coastline and Sea Lines of Communications - now faces the prospect of confronting the Chinese Navy in the Indian Ocean. The competitive interests of the two rapidly growing economies for energy and transit can transform the Indian Ocean into an area of bitter conflict in the near future.
Apart from its wits, the Indian Navy will require a large and modern arsenal.
New Delhi's indecisiveness, inconsistent and callous approach to modernization of the Armed Forces, ignorance, and enormous bureaucratic red tape keeps the Army, Navy and the Air Force under-equipped and devoid of adequate material and human resources to meet the growing threats.
In addition, the ill equipped military requires power projection capabilities to safeguard India's strategic interests. Even as New Delhi's weakness allowed India built Zaranj Delaram Highway to slip under Taliban control in Afghanistan, the Chinese lead the great game near Kabul by successfully mining copper.
The irony is that while Indian taxpayer's money helps rebuild war torn Afghanistan, Beijing walks away with the riches.
To cope with a two-front war, the IAF requires 60 air-worthy combat squadrons. The professional assessment to tackle the challenge of a single front war and holding action on the other front requires 45 squadrons.
New Delhi sanctioned 39.5 squadrons, but has indicated intent to raise the squadron strength to 42 by the end of the current decade.
Of the sanctioned strength of combat squadrons, for the IAF only 28.5 remain air-worthy today. Discounting the obsolescent fleet of the MiG 21 as also other ageing aircrafts, the IAF is left with around 22 combat worthy squadrons.
At Aero India 2011, apart from the Su30 MKI display by the IAF,rest of it turned out to be nothing more than a vintage aircraft rally!
When the NDA government was in power, India negotiated for forty Mirages 2000-V. After prolonged negotiations, when the time came to ink the deal, the then Defence Minister decided that he would sign it after the general elections. The NDA coalition lost and the UPA government that came to power scrapped the deal.
Similarly, a deal for In-flight Refuellers negotiated over three years. When the deal was about to be inked, the Ministry of Finance suddenly declared that the tankers preferred by the IAF were too expensive. The tender was scrapped.
Moreover, after many years of trials and negotiations, the deal for 197 helicopters was thrown out of the window in the last minute. The tender for 126 MMRCA is languishing for the past eleven years and now runs into problems and complications with the unwieldy offset procedures and Transfer of Technology.
In the bargain, the vendors have lost millions of dollars on unproductive efforts. Worse, the nation lost credibility in its international dealings and the Air Force its combat power.
With its overall capability severely eroded especially during the last decade, the IAF today no longer spearheads national military power. There is hardly any strategic or tactical airlift capability worth the name. The air defence cover supported by obsolete systems, is porous and there is only a token representation of force multipliers.
The state of the IAF prompted the Chief of the Air Staff to state publicly that fifty per cent of the equipment in the IAF was obsolete. Clearly, the IAF is in no shape to support power projection by the nation or to confront its two main adversaries that are rearming and modernizing rapidly.
On the other hand, DRDO and the indigenous aerospace industry continue to devour precious resources that the nation can ill afford but have proved totally incapable of making the nation self reliant in respect of contemporary military hardware.
Global tenders for even desperately needed military equipment remain bogged down in the complex bureaucratic labyrinth of the Defence Procurement Procedure.
Ineptitude and apathy of the government is usually cloaked in fiery rhetoric that routinely emanates from the top echelons of national leadership and genuine modernization programmes continue to remain a distant dream.
For the past twenty-five years Ministry of Defence has found itself incapable of finalizing the induction of 155 mm guns for the Regiment of Artillery. The Kargil war was barely managed through extensive cannibalization just to have a few guns firing.
MoD floats tenders and cancels them with an unbelievable regularity.
The Indian Army's Combat Arms are in a state of crises because of obsolete equipment that was not replaced in the last sixty years.
Tanks and ICVs are night blind without night sights.The MoD is unable to decide between import of Thermal Imager Fire Control System (TIFCS) and Thermal Imager Stand Alone System (TISAS).
Pakistan forces equipped with night vision devices will be sitting behind blind Indian mechanized forces since modern wars will be fought largely at night.
The bewildering variety of antiquated artillery guns-120 mmmortars, 105 mm Field gun, 130 mm Medium gun, 155 mm Gun, 122 mm Howitzer, 122 mm Multi-barreled Rocket Launcher and now Pinaka and Smerch Long Range Systems are a logistician's nightmare.

Ground based air defence practically is non-existent and devoid of Control and Reporting(C&R) System. Further, air defence is in shambles as L-60 and L-70 guns are of WW II vintage.
On the other hand, the Schilkaself propelled guns, SAM and OSA-AK missiles are of early 1970s vintage. Not a single gun and missile has been acquired since then.
The Infantry soldier fights with a WW II carbine while the terrorist is equipped with AK-47. DRDO has been kept in business by funneling taxpayer's resources but INSAS rifles and LMG have not proven successful.
FINSAS (future infantrysoldier as a system) is yet to take off. DRDO continues to copy ideas from the brochures of the western firms, guzzling huge defence budgets, but is unable to produce a simple CQB weapon like a carbine!

Communications systems remain antiquated. Fifty per cent of the infantry is yet to be equipped with Individual Combat Kit (ICK).
The Navy will be left with nine operational submarines by 2012 against the stated requirement of thirty.
Keeping in view the precarious position, I wonder what stopped New Delhi from ordering in a single stroke twelve submarines from the French and simultaneously opening a second submarine manufacturing line with another vendor.
The laborious and complicated process of vetting tenders and negotiations provided adequate data to replenish the dwindling submarine resources at one go. Once again, we start this time-consuming tedious process to appoint a second vendor.
MoD's legendary inefficiency extends battle-winning advantages to the enemy!
Meanwhile, without pausing for the mental lethargy of New Delhi, warfare technology has rapidly moved to pilotless or remote controlled vehicles and weapon systems on sea, land and in the air.
One can practically look inside the enemy's house sitting in New Delhi and neutralize the emerging threat by firing a missile with the help of a remote controlled pilotless drone.
We are nowhere near use of such magnificent technologies in spite of the favorable opportunities that exist in the new geopolitical environment.
Technological innovation earlier took a decade to develop.Warfare technology now can be out of date within a year. It is a distinct possibility that with the rapid pace of technological advances in warfare, by the time 126 MMRCA deal is finalized, much of the technology offered by OEMs may be out of date.
With diminishing or ageing population, the West perforce depends more and more on technology. However, as in Libya or Afghanistan, unless cutting edge technologies are employed together with sufficient boots on ground, the situation is likely to result in a stalemate.
Luckily, India boasts of young demographic profile in abundance that is sufficiently tech savvy. Yet there is huge shortage of young officers as the government is not willing to give that extra incentive to lure them for a spell of short service commission. This creates vacuumin cohesion at the junior level, so vital to lead the troops.
When one adds equipment shortage to it, the Indian Army, the Navy and the Air Force are unequal to the task the nation expects them to execute in case push comes to shove.
China and Pakistan's support to insurgents, Maoists, and dissident groups within India is well documented. Therefore, internal and the external threats are interlinked and require seamless integration between the Civil and the Military.
Despite the grave threat posed by external forces against the Union, the Civil Administration is unwilling to swiftly equip the military with requisite young human resources or the latest technology to cope with the growing security challenge.
Nor the Civil Administration is eager to beef up its own weakening sinews by lateral induction into the civil segment forty thousand highly skilled young soldiers (and officers) released each year by the Armed Forces.
Induction of trained manpower from the military and merger of the military skills with the Civil Administration can be the game-changer effecting increased efficiency.
Induction of personnel equipped with military skills will not only boost the ability to reclaim territory lost but also help to hold the ground subsequently, lest Maoists or insurgents attempt to stage a comeback.
Simultaneously, it will dramatically lower the ageing profile of Army, Navy and the Air Force, which is an operational necessity.
This arrangement is a win-win for Civil and the Military.
The shambles in which the Army, Navy and the Air Force find themselves today tantamount to dereliction of duty by the State, which in turn poses threat to the unity and integrity of the Union.
Surrounded by authoritarian regimes, and located within the arch of Islamic terrorism, the Union of India is possibly the largest social experiment in diversity in the 21st century. To keep the Union intact, therefore, necessitates reversing the swiftly shrinking military capabilities but also a degree of militarization of the pacifist Indian mind.

Though I have never believed in copying and pasting, I strongly feel this article by Maj. Gen. (Retd.) Sheru Thapliyal is an interesting read on how the Shameful Article 370 came into being.
Article 370: The Untold Story
It is often not realized that among the causes of Kashmir problem – inclusion of plebiscite in the Instrument of Accession, reference of Kashmir to UN, halting Indian offensive when it was poised to drive out the invaders from Kashmir, Article 370 has played no less a part in preventing J&K from becoming an integral part of the Indian Union. Not many people are aware as how and why this Article was formulated and included in the Indian Constitution despite grave misgivings of Sardar Patel and indeed a large number of the members of Congress Working Committee and Constituent Assembly.
Article 370 was worked out in late 1947 between Sheikh Abdullah, who had by then been appointed Prime Minister of J&K by the Maharaja and Nehru, who kept the Kashmir portfolio with himself and kept Sardar Patel, the home minister, away from his legitimate function. Hence Nehru is answerable to all acts of commission and omission, consequences of which we are suffering till date as far as J&K is concerned.
“Why should a state of the Indian Union have a special status? It conveys a wrong signal not only to Kashmiris but also to the separatists, Pakistan and indeed the international community that J&K is still to become integral part of India, the sooner Article 370 is done away is better.”
While it was Mountbatten who persuaded Nehru to take the J&K issue to the UN, it was Sheikh Abdullah, who, driven by his ambition to be ruler of an independent Kashmir and his hatred for the Maharaja, persuaded Nehru to give special status to J&K. Among his reasons were – occupation of one third of J&K by Pakistan, reference to the UN and plebiscite. The most sinister aspect of proposed Article 370 was the provision that any changes could be brought about in it only by the concurrence of J&K assembly. Nehru’s promise that Article 370 was a temporary provision and will get eroded over a period of time has turned out to be a chimera. The first thing that Sheikh Abdullah got done was to abolish hereditary monarchy and redesignate him as Sadar-e-Riyasat who was to be elected by the Assembly. The accession of J&K State into Indian Union was approved by J&K Assembly only in 1956.
Dramatis Personal
Jawahar Lal Nehru The handsome Harrow educated aristocrat who gave up a life of luxury to join the freedom movement. Babu’s choose heir and darling of the masses, he had a fatal flaw. He cared for personalities rather than issues and institutions, be it selection of Lord Mountbatten as the first Governor General of free India, retaining a senior British officer as the Commander-in-Chief of India Army or backing Sheikh Abdullah to the hilt – his choices were unfortunate. Finally the Chinese aggression of 1962 shattered his image of a world statesman.
Sardar Patel The Iron Man of India — silent, strong and pragmatic with a complete hold on congress party organization — rightly credited with creating a unified India by integrating 565 princely states in it — he would have included Kashmir also in it if allowed to do so by Nehru. The only blot on him was the insinuation that he failed to protect his beloved Bapu. The slur only hastened his end in Dec 1950.
Nehrus promise that Article 370 was a temporary provision and will get eroded over a period of time has turned out to be a chimera.
Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah Charismatic Kashmiri leader who never let go of his dream of ruling an independent Kashmir even while masquerading as a secularist — architect of Article 370 along with Nehru. He must share with Nehru the grave consequences. Lion of Kashmir brought Nehru under his spell from 1938 onwards to the extent that in May 1947 when he was arrested by the Maharaja for sedition, Nehru represented Sheikh as his lawyer and was even arrested in Jun 1947 by the Maharaja while trying to enter J&K. Finally Nehru had to eat the humble pie by arresting Sheikh Abdullah for sedition on 9 Aug 1953.
Maharaja Hari Singh The Maharaja saw an opportunity at the end of British Raj to keep Kashmir as the Switzerland of the East. Trying to repeat history when his ancestors – Maharaja Gulab Singh and Ranbir Singh gained handsome dividends by keeping aloof during the Sikh War and Great Mutiny, Hari Singh tried to sign a standstill Agreement with India and Pak at the time of independence, Pakistan signed, India declined. Maharaja died a lonely man, forced to abdicate and exiled from his beloved land.
The Drama Unfolds
Having finalized the text of Article 370 with Sheikh Abdullah, Nehru brought in Gopalaswamy Ayyangar, IAS, as a minister without portfolio to help him deal with Kashmir portfolio and plead the case of Article 370 in the Constituent Assembly. Gopalaswamy Ayyangar had been prime minister of Kashmir for six years with Maharaja Hari Singh. When Sardar Patel expressed his misgivings, this is what Nehru had to say on Dec 27, 1947.
“Gopalaswamy Ayyangar has been especially asked to help in Kashmir matters. Both for this reason and because of his intimate knowledge and experience of Kashmir, he had to be given full latitude. I really do not know where the States Ministry (Sardar Patel’s ministry) comes into the picture except that it should be kept informed for the steps taken. All this was done at my instance and I do not propose to abdicate my functions in regard to matters for which I consider myself responsible. May I say that the manner of approach to Gopalaswamy was hardly in keeping with the courtesy due to a colleague.”
It speaks volumes of Patels loyalty to a colleague that despite his own and others misgivings, he managed to convince the members of Constituent Assembly and Congress Party Executive. But to V Shankar he said “Jawaharlal Royega”.
The Sardar thereupon resigned and the matter fell in Gandhiji’s lap to bring the two colleagues together. During this period, V Shankar, IAS was the personal secretary to Patel and had maintained a record of all events. It is clear from these records that Nehru finalized the draft of Article 370 alongwith Sheikh Abdullah without even informing Patel. Thereafter it fell to Gopalaswamy Ayyangar to get the draft passed in the Constituent Assembly discussions. The proposal was torn to pieces by the Constituent Assembly and also Congress Party Executive.
Nehru, who was abroad at the time, swallowed his pride and rang up Patel and requested him to get the Article 370 approved It speaks volumes of Patel’s loyalty to a colleague that despite his own and others misgivings, he managed to convince the members of Constituent Assembly and Congress Party Executive. But to V Shankar he said “Jawaharlal Royega”. V Shankar, in his record has described the meeting of the Congress Executive Committee “The meeting was one of the stormiest I have ever witnessed barring the party meeting which discussed the proposition relating to Rajaji becoming the first President of Indian Republic. The opinion in opposition to Gopalaswamy’s formula was forcefully and even militantly expressed and the issue even brought in the sovereignty of the Constituent Assembly to draw up the Constitution without being tied down to the apron-strings of the Kashmir State Constituent Assembly. In such a situation even Maulana Azad was shouted down.
The Party was in uproar. The Sardar had to plead that because of the international complications, a provisional approach alone could be made leaving the question of final relationship to be worked out according to the exigencies of the situation and mutual feelings and confidence that would have been by then created. Once the Sardar had taken charge, all opposition to the draft was silenced” And how Nehru responded to this great act of loyalty on part of Sardar? On 24 July 1952, after Sardar was no more, Nehru made a detailed statement on Kashmir in the Parliament on slow integration of Kashmir into India Union and mentioned that “Sardar Patel was all the time dealing with these matters.” Even Gopalaswami Ayyangar was dismayed at this blatant lie and mentioned to V Shankar “It is an ill return to the Sardar for the magnanimity he had shown in accepting Panditji’s point of view against his better judgment.”
Article 370: The Untold Story
It is often not realized that among the causes of Kashmir problem – inclusion of plebiscite in the Instrument of Accession, reference of Kashmir to UN, halting Indian offensive when it was poised to drive out the invaders from Kashmir, Article 370 has played no less a part in preventing J&K from becoming an integral part of the Indian Union.

आज सब लोग कांग्रेस को गालिया देते हैं रोज एक भ्रष्टाचार का मुद्दा सामने आ रहा हैं , लोग कांग्रेस के इस भ्रष्टाचार के मुह तोड़ जवाब के लिए केजरीवाल को विकल्प मान रहे हैं परंतु हिमाचल के नतीजे देखे तो इस देश की जनता को भ्रष्टाचार से कोई तकलीफ नहीं इससे वे संतुष्ट हैं क्योंकि अभी चुनाव से चंद दिन पहले ही हिमाचल मे वीरभद्र सिंह का नाम भ्रष्टाचार मे आया और उसके बाद भी लोगो ने उनकी पार्टी को बहुमत दिया |
पाड़ लो पुछड़ इस कांग्रेस का भ्रष्टाचार का
Rightly said brother. People have given chance to another corrupt party.
