पाकिस्तान POK भारत को ख़ुद देने वाला था, की २०१४ में मोदी जी आ गए

मोदी जी को गालियाँ तो हर हाल में मिलेंगी ही, स्वीकार कर लें तो बेहतर है- क्योंकि कोरोना से बचा लोगे तो भूखे मरने के लिए मिलेंगी गालियाँ मिलेंगी! भूखे मरने से बचा लिए तो, पैदल चलाने के लिए! जिनसे पैदल चलने के लिए गालियाँ नही मिली तो फिर ट्रैन के नीचे आने के लिए। इन सबसे भी बचा लिया तो नौकरी और व्यापार के लिए गालियाँ खाएँगे। और कुछ नही तो दारू गुटखे की कमी के लिए। भाई भारत की जनता- वो क्या था रेमंड का- “सम्पूर्ण पुरुष” टाइप जनता है। बस हमारे मोदी जी और अमित शाह ही थोड़े निक्कमे निकल गए। कोई इसलिए धन्यवाद नही देने वाला की भारत का कोरोना मरीज़ों की संख्या 30 लाख नही है। वो तो बस गर्म मौसम से भारत बचा हुआ है। लेकिन जो हो रहा है उसके लिए जिम्मेदार तो सिर्फ मोदी ही है।

हमारे राहुल गांधी अगर प्रधान मंत्री होते तो बिना लॉकडाउन किए अर्थव्यवस्था पूरी द्रुत गति से दौड़ती और उसके साथ कोरोना से भी हम सब को बचा लेते और तो और कोरोना के भारत मे आने से पहले वैक्सीन बन जाता नेहरू जी के AIIMS में। 24 फरवरी को नमस्ते ट्रम्प की जगह पूरे भारत का कोरोना टीकाकरण अभियान चल रहा होता। जिसके लिए आमिर खान TV पर विज्ञापन में बोल रहे होते- “दो बूंद जिंदगी की- पिलाना न भूले”। रविश कुमार अपना SAVE DOGS अभियान चला रहे होते, जिससे कुत्तो को कोरोना से बचाया जा सके।

राहुल गांधी, मनमोहन और चिदम्बरम जी जैसे एक्सपर्ट के नेतृत्व में पूरे विश्व को अर्थव्यवस्था और प्रोडक्शन को पटरी पर लाने की योजनाएं बता रहे होते। भारतीय सैन्य बल और डॉक्टर कारोना से पाकिस्तान की जनता को बचा कर रही होती। इमरान खान खुश होकर सोनिया और राहुल की फोटो कराची लाहौर की गली गली में लगवा देते।

गाँधीयो की मुस्लिमों के प्रति रहनुमाई और भारत के लोकतांत्रिक तरीके से पूरे विश्व मे इंसानियत की मदद को देख गदगद हुए तबलीगी जमात वाले मरकज मदरसों पर ताला डाल, CBSE स्कूल खोल देते। पाकिस्तान POK को भारत को सौप देता और खुद कान पकड़ कर उठक बैठक लगाता। कश्मीर के मुस्लिम भाई अपनी गलतियां मान कर न्यूज़ पेपर में इश्तिहार देते – पंडित जी जंहा कंही भी हो वापिस आ जाओ, अपना मकान दुकान खेत खलिहान वापिस ले लो। और हमको हमारे गुनाहों के लिए माफ करो।

अजी हाँ, कल्पना नही है, ये सब वाकई होने वाला था, बस मोदी ने 2014 में आ कर सब गुड़ गोबर कर दिया।

A busy Hindu only complains!

A few weeks ago two Sadhus were brutally lynched in a place called Palghar in Maharashtra. In fact the visuals were so disturbing that it was literally impossible to watch the video without a cringe. I generally avoid watching these kind of videos because I am not that strong with the heart. I ended up watching because I saw a video clipping that started from the point when the Sadhu was walking towards the crowd holding a cop’s hand like a small child. Since, at this time we are watching a lot of videos how Policemen are warriors, I thought the video was going to be an example of “how a single cop saved a sadhu from a mob” or may be even better “how a Muslim cop saved a Hindu sadhu from a mob“. What else would come to your mind when you see a person walking next to a police man holding his hand as tight as he could?

In less than a minute, my eyes were wide open, I did not understand as to what happened, the sadhu was in the center of a circle created by people with sticks. Cops were standing at some distance.

Why did the Sadhu go towards the crowd that is waiting to lynch him, instead of running away from them? Why did the Sadhu come out of station in the first place when he knew there is a crowd outside? I thought it was a doctored video.

It turned out that the video was not doctored. It actually happened the way it was in the video. The people that formed the mob would have peed their pants had the cops even cracked a whip in the air. But cops din’t do anything. I don’t know what did the cops want from the Sadhu that the Sadhu wasn’t able to provide. But I know that this was not the first time when the Khaki had betrayed the Sadhus and Khadi had betrayed Bhagva.

I don’t know why people are acting so surprised at this, they should have seen something like this coming when Uddhav Thackeray, digressed from his Hindutva ideology and allied with the anti-hindu ideology. There are always such instances when anti-hindu forces are in control.

Mulayam Singh’s government ordered the  shooting of Sadhus in 1990. On his 79th birthday, the gentleman made the following comments: “It’s matter of shame that we won only 47 of the 403 Assembly seats this time,” he said, adding that even after ordering firing “when the Opposition termed me as a hatyara (killer)”, the SP succeeded in winning over 100 seats in 1993. “They (youths) now are not like those we had in 1993.” Indira Gandhi in 1966 called Army in Delhi to shoot at the naga-sadhus protesting to ban cow slaughter. Although, the official number says 375 sadhus were killed but there are sources that indicates that the number was more than 2500.

Maharashtra government is more interested in making sure that it is not communal issue rather than fixing the problem. The Maharashtra Home Minister, Anil Deshmukh claims that there was no Muslim among the 101 arrested. It is not an irony that Sharad Pawar had invented a thirteenth blast in 1993 in a Muslim area just to prove that 1993 was not a communal attack on Hindu areas. He blatantly lied, there never happened such an attack. All the attacks were in Hindu majority areas. For this lie, he was even praised by Justice Shrikrishna Commission; slow claps!

Is it not surprising that politicians like these do these things in a country that is predominantly Hindu in its very basic nature; not only in terms of population but in terms of the lifestyle? Not only do they come out clean after doing all this, but they easily win the next election. How are they able to float there narrative with such ease?

What is the Hindu so busy with that he doesn’t have time to narrate his own version of the story? 

They called lynching in the name of cows, and the busy Hindu never had time to question the underlying reason for the lynchings i.e. “cow smuggling”. They blamed social media for lynchings and the busy Hindu was confused if cow smuggling is real or a myth. Please have a look at Lynching Whatsapp; In the name of Holy Cow if you are still confused. Ask any of them, they will recite all the names starting from Akhlaq till Tabrez, call India Lynchistan, but the busy Hindu has no clue whatsoever.

They called India the Rape capital of world, the busy Hindu was confused again. Also read: Whose fault is Thomson Reuters Foundation’s survey?

India is the only country where leftists / communists are liberal and Isalmists are secular. How did that happen? Mao’s Communist China leaped forward with more than 30 million dead, is that liberal? The busy Hindu never had enough time to question these labels. Why can’t Right be liberal and secular? They said they are liberal and the busy Hindu believed; they said they are secular and the busy Hindu agreed. Since when did Bollywood become intellectual? They are plagiarists. They said and the busy Hindu believed. They not only steal Hollywood, they also steal from the South India. Good bye creativity!!

They said a lot of things, they demonized Hinduism but the busy Hindu just couldn’t take out time from his busy schedule to react. Did you notice Sati system in Ramayana/Mahabharata? Did Satyavati or Kunti burn themselves when there husbands died? Is Hinduism responsible for Sati system or are Muslim invaders, who treated women as sex slaves once they conquered a kingdom responsible for Sati-pratha? I can keep going, on and on and on and on.

The busy Hindu is currently very upset because the celebrities, the award-wapsi-gang etc. are not coming up with the protest like “Not in my name” that they came up when a Muslim man was lynched. Why should they? It is not their narrative.

But what could a busy Hindu do?

A zillion things, and all of them perfectly legal and peaceful.

Can a busy Hindu write? Literally everything that the left ecosystem in the country has been saying for the last few years have been talked about in the past. There are books written by the authors who once were a part of the very same ecosystem. If you look on internet, the left leaning content is way way more than the one that I write and like. Why? Can a busy Hindu create genuine right leaning content and restore some sense of balance?

Okay, reading books, researching and writing  takes a lot of time. But can a busy Hindu read and engage with the articles already written in an attempt to contradict the left narrative? Can he help in creating a conducive ecosystem for these writers? 

Can a busy Hindu, at least react to an inappropriate content by down-voting it or reporting it or if commenting is available commenting why it is incorrect? If you visit Quora, right-leaning content is down-voted on a regular basis, other platforms moderate right leaning content, that’s why you see more of left leaning content where ever you go.

Okay, the busy Hindu is too busy for these things. Although, he won’t be directly helping in building a particular narrative or deflating a particular narrative but he still can do a lot. For instance, last year the busy Hindu was very upset with Turkey. Because they were trying to meddle in our internal policies regarding Kashmir. What could the busy Hindu do? There are more than 200,000 Indians that travel to Turkey every year. Who are they? Which side do they stand? Indians should choose some other travel destination. Moreover,  the busy Hindu even when living in countries like Germany could stop thinking of using Turkish Airlines. When there is a financial impact, the country would not dare to poke its nose where not required. Instead what did the busy Hindu do? Just complain that Modi government is not doing enough on its foreign policy. Salute!!!

The busy Hindu knows that the so-called artists like Amir Khan, Javed Akhtar etc. have been carrying their Jihadist ideology in their work, can the busy Hindu not live without their work? Can he not skip their movies and songs?

The only thing that the busy Hindu does is complain, he complains about BJP government not doing enough, he complains about celebrities not doing enough. But he would never ever ever ever ever do anything by himself for himself.

He believes in logic and reasoning, but he is so busy that he finds it difficult to read anything that would make him scroll down; he has time only to view memes or read text of 3-4 lines that fits in his phone screen. Anything bigger than that, he would simply skip.

Anybody will not shall not fight a fight for him. He has to do it by himself for himself. It is high time that he rises from the shackles of slumber else it might just be too late.

When you see something wrong, you should at least make some effort to fix it. If you do like my views please join me in my crusade against the wrongs of the society, please share the article as much as you can.

Thanks for reading!!!

देवदत्त पटनायक बने मिथ्या-इतिहासकार व रिसर्चर

0


मिथ-मिथ्या करने वाले देवदत्त पटनायक जी ने अचानक से जेनेटिक/अनुवांशिक रिसर्च और इतिहास पर बोलने लगे हैं। शायद वो मिथ्यागिरी छोड़ इतिहासकार बनना चाहते हैं लेकिन लगता है कि वो इस चक्कर में मिथ्या-इतिहासकार ज़्यादा बन रहे हैं। हाल ही में उन्होंने एक फेसबुक पोस्ट और नीचे प्रस्तुत ट्वीट किया है कि अतीत में बहुत से प्रवासियों के बसने से आज का भारत बना है।

अब मिथ-मिथ्या करने करने वाले ने रिसर्च बताकर कुछ लिखा है वो भी बिना किसी प्रमाण के तो यह हमने सोचा कि यह काम तो कोई पप्पू भी कर सकता है किन्तु देवदत्त जी के पास तो हज़ारों लिबरल भक्तों की टोली है और हम तो कुछ लाइक्स भी भिक्षा के दान से पाते हैं। इसलिए बिना तथ्य और तर्क के कोई हमें क्यों पढ़ेगा? गूगल पर आपको भी बहुत सी जानकारी मिलेगी इस विषय पर किन्तु २०१६ से पहले की वीडियो न देखें क्योंकि भारतीय डीएनए पर नयी खोज २०१५ में हुई है और देवदत्त जी बुज़ुगों की तरह पुरानी कथा गा रहे हैं। गलती से या जानबूझकर यह आपकी समझ पर छोड़ते हैं। तो पहले बात सात बिंदुओं की और फिर हिंदुत्व-इतिहास की करते हैं।

प्रवासी आगमन के सात बिंदु

  1. वैसे तो पूरी मानव जाति ही अफ्रीका से निकली है इसलिए पहले बिंदु के हिसाब से तो पूरी दुनिया ही प्रवासी है।
  2. बिंदु दो में ईरान के निओलिथिक काल (१२०००-३५०० ई० पू०) के किसानों की भारत आने की बात कही जाती है जोकि हड़प्पा सभ्यता पर हुए २०१५ के अनुवांशिक अनुसन्धान शोध में गलत पायी है। बल्कि पाया यह गया कि जो ईरानी आये भी वो निओलिथिक काल के अंत में आये और वो खेती से पूर्ण रूप से अनिभिज्ञ थे।
  3. आर्य बाहर से आये है यह प्रपंच फैलाने की कोशिश की गयी है जोकि जेनेटिक शोध (एक और लिंक), पुरातत्व शोध और भाषीय शोध दोनों शोधों में गलत पायी गयी है।
  4. तिब्बत वाले तो आज भी वेलकम हैं जी।
  5. हूण, कुषाण आदि आक्रमणकारी २००० साल पहले आये पर वो भारतीय समाज और संस्कृति को अपनाकर मन से भी भारतीय हो गए। हिन्दू संस्कृति को कोई क्षति नहीं हुई।
  6. तुर्क व् मंगोल आक्रमणकारी थे प्रवासी नहीं। इस्लाम को ज़बरदस्ती थोपा गया।
  7. यूरोपीय भी आक्रमणकारी थे। भारी लूट व् ज़बरन धर्मांतरण

सभी लिंक्स देखने के बाद आपको कोई शक नहीं होगा कि केवल मुस्लिम और यूरोपीय आक्रमणकारियों ने ही भारतीय संस्कृति को क्षति पहुंचाई है और यह तथ्य है। कथित ‘हिंदुत्व इतिहास’ अगर ऐसा कहता भी है तो कुछ भी असत्य नहीं है। अगर किसी इतिहासकार यह ट्वीट की होती तो कह सकते थे कि ठेके खुलने का फायदा उठाकर किसी ने ज़्यादा पीकर लिखा होगा किन्तु मिथ-मिथ्या एक्सपर्ट देवदत्त जी की इतिहास के मामले में नासमझी करना समझा जा सकता है।

(अजीत भारती जी से अनुरोध है कि इस विषय पर एक वीडियो बनायें और देवदत्त जी के कच्चे इतिहास को पक्का करके उनके दिमाग में बैठा दें।)

शराब पर मौलवी का फतवा- हराम नहीं हलाल हैं शराब, इन शर्तों के साथ पी सकते है

इस्लाम में शराब को हराम बताया गया है यानी इस्लाम में शराब की शख्त मनाही है। लेकिन एक मौलवी के आए ताजा बयान ने एक नए विवाद को जन्म दे दिया है। आपको बता दें कि, पाकिस्तानी मौलवी मुफ्ती अब्दुल क्यावी ने अपने एक बयान में कहा है कि, 40 फीसद से कम अल्कोहल वाली शराब ‘हलाल’ है।

उनके इस बयान को लेकर उनकी काफी आलोचना भी हुई है। क्यावी ने हाल ही एक साक्षात्कार में कहा था कि मैं समझता हूं कि 40 फीसद से कम अल्कोहल वाली शराब हलाल है, यानी कि आप उसे पी सकते हैं।

विवाद बढ़ता देख उनसे सऊदी अरब में मौलवियों द्वारा कथित रूप से जारी इस फतवे के बारे में उनकी राय पूछी गयी थी कि 40 फीसद या उससे कम अल्कोहल वाली शराब हलाल (मान्य) है। क्यावी ने यह भी कहा कि मैं तो यह भी कहूंगा कि खनिजों जैसे स्पीरिट, पेट्रोल और अन्य चीजों से बनी शराब शत प्रतिशत हलाल है।

जानकारी के अनुसार उन्होंने यह तक कह डाला है कि, यदि तंबाकू वाले पान को हमारे मौलवियों द्वारा चबाया जाना हलाल है तो मैं कहना चाहूंगा कि आधुनिक शराब भी हलाल है।

ज्ञात हो कि, पाकिस्तान टुडे की एक खबर के अनुसार कराची बिनोरिया मदरसे के प्रमुख मुफ्ती नईम ने क्यावी की राय से असहमति प्रकट की और कहा कि शराब के बारे में उनकी टिप्पणी गलत है और प्रत्येक दूसरे संप्रदाय की मान्यता के विरूद्ध है।

The red fascist’s psyche and the future

The common perception created about the right wing is that of a mob with despotic people who are narcissistic and xenophobic, racist and communal, sometimes even anti-humanity or anti-freedom. This is primarily because of the domination of intellectual leftists in the field of mainstream political perception making. Not every right winger calls himself one – that’s not because of any aversion but, because he does not feel the need to associate with a specific wing and put himself in a box of any thought police. For someone whom freedom of thought will be supreme, he can never be led into the bandwagon of Left fascism. He may just be an aware person who knows what’s best for him, the society, the country and the world. This is the reason why today’s left wing has lost all voices of sanity. Such voices fear the red fascists beside them, who may label them as a right winger. This is where fascism in the real sense manifests – where there can be no counter opinions. There is no such thing as a left liberal.

Red fascists are zealots who are going to call anyone a bigot, the moment they get cornered for their pretzel logic. They have the same, if not more biases which they accuse the right wingers of. However they are very careful not to make their biases or agendas evident. They hide behind the holy shield of neutrality or objectivity so that they can save themselves from scrutiny or suspicion. The red fascists have almost mastered the art of acting that way in such a subtle manner that it becomes a little tricky to catch them. However their prejudices and views do come out once a while. That’s when they end up targeting their opponents based on some fake news, though they claim to be the custodians of fact checks, scientific inquiry, logical thinking and deduction. The other way they let their bigotry out is through some safety valves which are created as part of their long term planning – like making one section of their opponents as privileged villains and attacking them for every misfortune or using other jibes which are attributed to anything holy of the other group, though it maybe irrelevant.

The average Indian who’s not much politically aware sees only two people through his prism – one of them is a ferocious, corrupt politician who is a hardcore criminal. The other is a sober, internally driven and a scrupulously honest leader who appeals the most to the common man. They were able to create such an evil image for their opponents up to an extent, very successfully. For a long time, the red fascists who controlled the academia made sure they portrayed their patrons as such a neutral leader and provided them a larger than life image. It’s worth remembering that many of those patrons lacked the basic skills to even win the confidence of their clan, forget governing a country as large as India. Yet, they made it generation after generation by claiming a divine right over the country as a compensation for their imaginary single handed efforts to free India.

In the process of establishing that divine right, those patrons pushed many common men and women who fought for the Independence, into the bin of obscurity while simultaneously maligning many. Like they say, you can’t fool everyone all the time; all this went on as usual until Indians brought a disruptor to power after 67 years of Independence. This hurt the red fascist cartel, to such an extent that that they have not been able to reconcile to it. That was when realization dawned upon them that the ideal of democracy which they endorsed (with a variation), became their Achilles heel. This led them to commit their next mistake.

Post 2014, the left fascists got so annoyed that they collectively tried all stunts to overthrow the disruptor who had more connect with the masses (reason why they failed and became irrelevant). Since intolerance and bigotry were in the blood of such fascists, they had unknowingly shifted deep into their political shade, thereby becoming far leftists. This change can been noticed by the strange rantings of today’s so-called mainstream opposition leaders who have taken far left views by abandoning all pretenses of being centrist. They have been endorsing almost everything anti India in the International media and from India’s enemies. This is not just their frustration at the disruptor after being disrupted but, also their anger towards an electorate which stood solidly behind someone outside their cartel.

Though they never had any sync or connect with the masses nor could they understand the pulse of an Indian voter, the left fascists are in a constant attempt trying to show themselves as a neutral voice of the masses. It’s the reason why many of those conmen frequently quote George Orwell despite being the Thought Police he wrote extensively about; like a devil who quotes the scriptures. They may talk endlessly about the poor people and write column after column about how making the rich poorer is the antidote to poverty but, at heart they are elitist. They form the stars in the Communist flag, always above and disconnected with the masses they try use as cannon fodder, for their battles.

The Idea of India and the Ganga jamuna tehzeeb were few such concepts they created to justify their legitimacy and dominance in the political discourse, along with their patrons. The herd mentality to thank some Mughals and Nehru’s dynasty for everything good and blame some others for the evils of the society thrived in the framework of such a school of thought. The nation of India and Indians are in reality, far different from anything which is portrayed as the Idea of India. It was a mere figment of imagination to take advantage of the generally inclusive nature of Indian culture.

While the IoI believes inclusion to be the act of a goat bowing before a hungry tiger, the real test of Indian inclusion lies in accommodating the parasitic left fascists and tolerating their dominance. As we see the modern day’s trend, the more rabid a leftist becomes, the more he pushes the electorate towards the right and consolidates it. Soon, the only choice for them will be to end up as a bad chapter in history unless they reform and shed their bigotry, before pointing fingers at others. Their end or irrelevance in future does not signify the intolerance of anyone including the right wing. It was purely because they were not inclusive or tolerant enough to live in the reality.

Before you DONATE & CLICK

I’ve come across a few people who are in dire need of help (specifically ration) but they are hesitating from coming forward to accept the relief material because they don’t want to get clicked. Some people and even leaders are asking them to accept the ration while posing for the pictures which, I believe, all are not taking in a good taste. For “few activists” it might be a good PHOTO-OP for their social work but, in my opinion, it should not be at the cost of hurting the sentiments or the self-esteem of those who are already troubled, are helpless and have more mouths to feed than what their material resources permit. In this process these poor people are unintentionally being reduced to objects to

“fulfill one’s own need to accomplish something”.

I would again like to stress on the word “few”. In our attempt to help those that we can in our own ways, it is our moral duty to adopt an approach which doesn’t make them feel any inferiority or shame. I do understand the bigger picture that these things probably don’t matter as long as the help is reaching them in any possible way or form, but then there is no harm in being cognizant of their perspective. It’s a long fight and all of us are in this together. Let’s keep our morale high.

On a side note, don’t go out without wearing a mask.

COVID-19: A way forward

We are witnessing that lot of people are anxious during this lockdown, everything seems to be uncertain. However, this phase is an eye opener in many aspects and wish we become more rational in our approach to the various segments of our society.

We generally show lot of distrust towards our industrialist and businessmen. Whenever, country is in crisis they come forward and help in a big way apart from generating jobs for the countrymen and raising their living standards, helping government with huge tax and uplifting society through CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) program. If they are diversifying/expanding their horizon, appreciate them as it is going to help society in turn our nation. The principle of any business is to earn profit, if they don’t earn profit, it is difficult for them to survive, resulting in job losses, government losing taxes, affecting social and economic health. Stop criticizing and start encouraging our business stalwarts to take our nation to new heights.

Let’s encourage our youngsters to be entrepreneur with innovation, creative ideas in business so that we aren’t forced to use Chinese or any other product compromising our national interest. We spend too much time, money and energy for Bollywood and cricket, I am not questioning about their integrity, but only few of them really support in times of crisis and their unwarranted criticism on national issues of importance without finding the facts. We love them and disparage our business stalwarts, need to think, and flip the side to make our business stalwarts strong?? Let our youngsters put time, effort and money to build itself in sports arena or as a singer, dancer, acting, drama.

This virus taught us the importance of research. The world is struggling to find solution and we don’t know when we will have full proof vaccine and medication. Government need to create significant budget for research in various fields. Parents, Teachers, industries, Media and government should encourage our youngsters to work towards solutions for challenges faced at different times by providing necessary facilities, good remuneration, recognition and safety.

This pandemic is a sure warning to us that how “population explosion” is going to create a large magnitude catastrophe in future if we don’t act on it. It’s time to support and force government to bring and implement population control bill. Population explosion is affecting our life in terms of economy, adverse effect on health, unemployment, standard of living, education, cleanliness, disparity. Imagine what will happen if this virus spreads hysterically in densely populated areas. This bill is to be seen as gift to future generations for better life than through religious angle. If the parents cannot give a good life to more than 1 or 2 kids, then religious leaders have no moral rights to force them to go for few more kids. They are not only influencing that particular family but affecting the social fabric causing increase in violence, molestation, rape, kidnapping, theft, drug abuse and even extremism and terrorism.

This pandemic brings in gratitude towards our ignored farmers, health workers, Safai workers, Doctors, Engineers, Pharmacist, Police, army, government officers. Can we think of our life without food, medicine, electricity, safety, hygiene?? We need to learn admiration of these warriors instead of attacking them physically, mentally, or socially.

When leadership in crisis; learn from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi

Real depth of a leader to lead a team/nation can be seen during emergency situations or crisis. Managing a team during regular work is not a big deal, team members already know how to deal with it. Team needs a leader who can navigate through when situation calls for deep stress, panic, fear and uncertainty.

It’s time to sharpen our leadership skills when we are going through worst pandemic and the leader clearly visible is PM Narendra Modi who has shown us the ways to be a better leader, you like or hate him, however at the core of your heart, you will agree that he is demonstrating how a leader has to be and manage situations when they are totally out of control.

First quality, we need to learn how to be calm and remain balanced as everyone is observing us and our actions as leader. He exhibited us the path to lockdown, critically required for the benefits of 130 crore Indians to safeguard lives even though economically it is not advisable, even otherwise we could have failed economically as well as socially, seeing at America and European countries. Hence, lockdown was the safest option available. He has started preparing mindset of every Indian in his first address to nation and declaring “Janata Curfew”, he didn’t pretend that everything is right but with conviction he revealed dangers of COVID-19 and at the same time shown faith in every Indian with poise in his face helped to create awareness and alertness about the worst effects of virus and why we need to lock ourselves in our houses to secure ourselves.

Second quality, develop a communication on a mental level. We have experienced in our life that communication on a mind level is much needed when we are in deep stress, under panic or going through the worst phase of life. As a leader, he developed subtle communication with everyone by various means. Address to the nation, Mann ki baat, some activities which were not going to finish corona virus but were essential to create positive vibes and channelize energy to lessen stress, fear and building a mindset which says, “We will overcome this deadly pandemic soon”. It is essential to have strong mind to resolve any issue and for that communication on mental level is indispensable. Not only 130 crore Indians but many countries followed his directions since they are very well aware of the importance of mental strength.

He is communicating with world leaders and local panchayat leaders as well; he has conversed with hospital staff as well as senior citizens and will continue to do so. He is ensuring to get feedback on the actions taken by the government and guiding and motivating teams on various levels.

Third quality, his approval rating in India and in the world is very high compared to other leaders. It didn’t make him arrogant and autocratic leader. He is constantly listening to the team of experts from medical field, economics, disaster management and executing necessary plans on ground. This is a great quality of a leader.

Forth quality, proactive approach and helping others. Generally, we look for help than to help during crisis. Great leader works other way round, PM Modi has shown path to whole world, apart from social and mental support, we are supporting many countries with essential medicines and equipment needed for COVID-19 treatment. This is possible due to a proactive approach by PM and timely decisions.

Request everyone to read it not as political article but to improve our learning curve from a great leader who belongs to everyone and loved by majority of people around the world.

Birth aniversary of fearless Rajput King

Maharana Pratap Jayanti is observed on May 9 every year to celebrate the birth of the 13th Rajput king of Mewar – Pratap Singh I.

Some lesser known facts about Maharana Pratap:

1. Pratap’s father was Rana Udai Singh, who founded the city of Udaipur.

2. He is believed to have been of grand stature. Standing tall at 7 feet 5 inches, Pratap weighed about 110 kgs.

3. While neighbouring Hindu kingdoms had surrendered to the Mughal superpower led by Akbar, Maharana Pratap kept resisting.

4. It was his dream to avenge the annexation of Chittor. He made a pledge to eat in a leaf plate and sleep on a bed of straws till he frees Chittor.

5. Maharana Pratap fought against Akbar’s army in the famous war of Haldighati in 1576 and faced defeat. Thereafter, he fled to the hills. Mewar was left at the hands of eventual decline.

6. By 1584, Pratap had managed to win back most of his strongholds as Akbar was preoccupied in Punjab at that period of time.

7. Despite having defeated Pratap on the battlefield, Akbar could not get hold of the Rajput king till his last breath.

8. Maharana Pratap died of an injury received while tightening the string of a bow for hunting in the year 1597.

Battle of Haldighati

In the year 1568, all of Rajasthan (and almost all of what we now know as Punjab, Pakistan, Central India all the way to Bengal) had been conquered by the Mughals led by Akbar. It was either a direct rule or vassals ruled on behalf of the Mughal court. In Rajasthan, almost all major kings/chieftains had accepted Mughal suzerainty except Udai Singh (Maharana Pratap’s father and the founder of Udaipur). Akbar, who was a brilliant military commander, was quite annoyed at this pesky little kingdom holding out against his forces. In terms of scale, think about the little Gaulish village of Asterix and Obelix holding out against mighty Caesar.

Maharana Pratap Sword’s

The four-hour battle was between Maharana Pratap and Akbar led by Man Singh I. Akbar’s army had 80,000 soldiers while Maharana’s army consisted of 3,000 soldiers that included Rajputs, Afghans led by Hakim Khan Sur and a small contingent of Bhil tribals. Through Rajput’s zeal and patriotism, Maharana launched a direct attack on the Mughal and later to bring out a quick defeat launched an attack with elephants. Rumours of the Mughal emperor Akbar coming on the battlefield instilled a sense of courage in the Mughal troops and they surrounded Maharana’s army and at the time when Maharana would have certainly been killed, the Naik of Jhala took the crown off Maharana’s head and put it on his own head posing as Maharana and got himself killed. Grabbing an opportunity Rana aimed his spear on Man Singh but unfortunately it pierced his Mahout’s body. The Mughal army once again surrounded Maharana but his favourite horse ‘Cheetak’ help him to rescue successfully but died as it had sustained injuries. The winner of the battle is still not clear as Mughals suffered heavy casualties and Maharana escaped unhurt. Later Maharana regained control over most of his kingdom.

POK, the battle for conquest

India, under the British rule, prior to the partition in 1947, was on its northern frontier, surrounded by Afghanistan (North-West), Tajikistan (North), and China (North-East).

However, during the process of partition, the country on its northern frontier was partitioned into India and Pakistan, demarcated by the “Radcliffe Line”, named after “Sir Cyril Radcliffe”, who was the architect, and the joint chairman of the two boundary commissions for the two provinces, namely Pakistan and Bangladesh.

The Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir comprised of the political landmass of the ‘Princely State of Jammu and Kashmir’ (J&K) that acceded to India on October 26, 1947.

Prior to August 15, 1947, J&K had been was the largest of the 562 princely States, with an area of 218779 Square KMS, almost equal to the total area of Belgium, Denmark, Holland, Austria and Albania, all put together. Administratively, comprised three provinces; Kashmir, Jammu, and the Frontier Province of Ladakh & Gilgit. While the whole of the J&K State acceded to India, portions of it came to be illegally occupied by Pakistan (besides some area by China). The area under illegal occupation of Pakistan comprise two administrative regions – ‘Gilgit Baltistan’ and ‘Azad Jammu Kashmir’.

Due to the Prime Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru, approaching the United Nations, and the UN seeking a resolution in 1948; the UN passed ‘resolution 47’ on April 21, 1948; which resulted in Pakistan obtaining a proxy control over POK (Read Gilgit Baltistan’ and ‘Azad Jammu Kashmir’). Subsequently, maintaining a status quo, a ‘Line of Control’ was drawn to demark POK, from the Indian territory.

As mentioned previously, the Radcliffe Line, marked the Indian territory borders with Afghanistan, Tajikistan and China; however, with the occupation of POK, India was cut off from both Afghanistan and Tajikistan. Resulting in being surrounded by two hostile neighbors, who via POK had obtained direct access to each other.

This enabled both the hostile forces to work in tandem, both on the economic (One Road One Belt – OROB) and military front, and flank the northern borders of India. POK, has gained strategic importance, as China’s ‘One Road One Belt’ mega ambitious plan passes through POK, and is essential to China, in order for it to have uninterrupted access to Pakistan’s Gwadar Port (Which too has been built by China); in order to effectively surround India both from east and as well as west. On the other hand, from India’s point of view, having a control over POK gives India a direct access to Afghanistan, and an indirect access to Iran, where India has its strategic interest in the ‘Port of Chabahar’.

This allows India with an enhanced capability of flanking Pakistan from both east and west. As the distance between ‘Port of Chabahar’ and ‘Gwadar Port’ is barely 72 KMS. Further, owing to its proximity to ‘Gwadar Port’, and clubbed with the superiority of the Indian Naval Command, ‘Port of Chabahar’ is a strategic asset to act as a choke point for any activity that might take place in ‘Gwadar Port’.

POK, at its northern most tip, touches the border of Afghanistan, from where the distance to Tajikistan’s border at its shortest; mere 13 KMS. The Indian air force has two air bases ‘Farkhor’, and ‘Ayni’ air bases, in Tajikistan. ‘Farkhor’ air base is a just 15 minutes striking distance from Islamabad. It is believed that a squadron of ‘SU 30 MKI’ and ‘MIG 29’, along with ‘MI 17’ Helicopters are stationed out of Tajikistan.

This defines the strategic importance of POK for India wherein it not only enables India to surround Pakistan, but also blocks China from reaching ‘Gwadar Port’ by nixing China’s OROB ambition. Leaving China, no other option but to take the route of the Indian Ocean circumcising Sri Lankan maritime territory, or operating through its ‘Hambantota Port’ in Sri Lanka.

However, India has its counter present in the form of its covert air base ‘Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport’, which is just 15 KMS away from ‘Hambantota Port’. Thus, creating a choke point for China, in the Indian Ocean too. Having understood the strategic value of POK, should India integrate POK with the Republic of India?

To arrive at an answer, one needs to understand the human aspect of and consequences of this integration. Integrating POK, will result in a major demographic shift in the region, as mass conversions have been taking place over the years in POK. Below is a list of the different ethnic groups that are living in POK today:

– Gujjar (Sikh origin, converted to Islam)
– Jat (Sikh origin, converted to Islam)
– Pahari Rajputs (Brahman Hindu origin, converted to Islam)
– Sudhan (Sadozai basically, migrated from Tribal Areas to Kashmir)
– Abbasi (Tribe having Muslim origin and are descendants of Bani Abbas i.e Abbasid Dynasty)
– Awan (Muslims origin, but there is a frail /un-authentic evidence of being descendants of Hazrat Ali, cousin of Prophet Mohammad)

Secondly, considering the neglect that the population has received from the Pakistani establishment, it will be a huge drain on Indian resources to integrate them in the Indian society, wherein the responsibility of all amenities like nutrition, healthcare, shelter, education employment etc. will fall upon the Indian republic, and hence, the Indian tax payer. It will further burden the Indian establishment, as additional military and para military forces will be required to maintain law & order, peace & tranquility in the newly acquired region. These would only be recurring expenses.

Their will be additional capital expenses that will have to be borne in terms of infrastructure development of rail, roads, housing, sanitation, irrigation, power generation, and other such undertakings. Refraining from going into detailed statistics on this issue for now. Hence, the most lucrative, and win-win situation is presented where this region is made autonomous, in term of governance; where it be supported from outside for their overall development; assisted in every manner (within reasonable limits). Enabling them to become self sufficient eventually.

However, in this process, the objective has to be to make them allies, wherein they realize that their eventual well being lies with the Republic of India, and hence they pledge their allegiance to New Delhi.
