And then there was The Impeachment Issue…

"Pakistan is way too down the drain for any cororections that would make it a normal nation state. Under the guise of a Governor General, which should have been a ceremonial position, Jinnah amassed all powers leaving a Liaquat Ali Khan with no real powers. When he died, Liaquat Ali Khan was overwhelmed by the greedy Mohajir, Punjab politicians and bureaucrats and he soon lost even remnant controls of power. Pakistan began to drift and all political players appeared on the stage making it a total mockery. Just look at the pathetic state of affairs in that period. Prime Ministers were dismissed, Assemblies were dissolved, there was even a murder within the Assembly of the Dy. Speaker of the house, Presidents were fired, bureaucrats rose quickly to rule the country politically etc. Ultimately, Ayub Khan had to step in to bring a semblance of stability.

The situation has been so every time the politicians took power. Pakistanis are an unruly lot with completely no respect for rule of law. They are as bad as the tribals in NWFP, with a little more sophistication thrown in for a change. Pakistani land is ungovernable. To add to their problems, a large majority of Pakistanis have absolutely no sense of what it means to have a country, stuck as they are with only their clannish affinities. Moreover, they and their leaders never participated in a nation building exercise, which, fortunately for India happened in the form of an Independence movement. Another effect of getting a country on a silver platter riding piggyback on the Indian freedom movement was that their leaders did not have a social base and they were not respected for their sacrifices or erudition etc. In fact, many of their leaders, including Jinnah, were transplanted as Mohajirs and therefore lacked local contacts and bases. Many of them exhibited rank opportunism as a result. Many of the local leaders who had some base were in fact nationalists, who either changed their stance in the last minute or simply decided to accept their fate once it was known that Pakistan would be a reality.

It is no wonder therefore that there is a total lack of political maturity in Pakistan. Coupled with their ungovernable nature for the most part, the ethno-religious fissures soon came to the fore. Unfortunately, their country was founded on the religion of Islam, already an easy source for inciting hatred and violence. To add to their misery, the clerics who wanted to see India conquered with Islam migrated to Pakistan and made the people there susceptible to their brand of hate-filled interpretation of Islam, not a particularly difficult task for that religion anyway.

There are only two fortuitous things that have prevented a total unbundling of Pakistan after 1971. The Soviet intervention of A'stan and the 9/11. While both these events have made Pakistan extremely jihadic and dangerous, firstly for India and then for the rest of the world, they have at least held Pakistan together so far. But, the inevitable has only been delayed, not eliminated altogether. I have always believed that the end will be as spectacular as Hitler's Germany."

It's not smartly dressed president but Arabized Shanti needs to be impeached from the land of Sapta Sindhu, Saraswati and Gandhar. It's Arabized Shanti, stupid!

once Abrahmic alien Arab imperialistic legion Shanti takes an overriding centrality, everything else becomes secondary. How else can one explain the treatment meted out to Prof Abdus Salam? Hoodbhoy has described the beards sitting in his class with absolutely no idea of what is being taught. The stories are also plenty of how the Higher Education Commission condones all plagiarism in research universities. The Universities have themselves become war zones between radical Islamist rivals or them and mohajirs etc. These radical Islamists (like Islami-Jamiaat-e-Tulaba, IJT of Jamaat-e-Islami) are supported by university staff and administrators. Musharraf appointed Lt. Generals as Vice Chancellors of several universities and none of them could as much as raise their little fingers against the IJT etc. IJT has been behaving like the Youth Brigade of Hitler. An equal number of jihadi foot-soldiers have come from mainstream schools as they have from madrasseh. The widest ranging Islamization programme was done not by Zia but by Z.A. Bhutto. He nationalized Christian educational institutions thus depriving the Pakistanis an excellent source of education. It is not only science and engineering studies that have suffered, but also arts, music, dance & drama. Zia banned these forms of human avocation and nobody has revived them. Musharraf did it for namesake but the general population considers these as haraam. The BSnis do not even want to preserve the fantastic sculptures and artefacts of Budddhist and pre-Buddhist era because they are UnIslamic.

As for businessmen, most of them were either Hindus or Parsis. The Hindus mostly migrated penniless to India but, by their enterprise and hard work, re-established themselves in kufr land. The Parsis were in small numbers and have continued to dwindle. The Pakistanis do not even appreciate the extensive institutions and charitable organizations that the Parsis have bequeathed them with. The rich Bakistani Shantian were large landholders and that part of India did not boast of many industries. There were some in Dacca for jute and spinning and weaving. Even the British setup only a few ordnance factories there.

In general, excellence in anything other than Shanti will be frowned upon. Since for everyone excelling in Shanti, there wil be another who would be more excellent, it becomes a problem too.

But Bakis need not beat their chest for her. They can place the chanda boxes in chowks all over baki land to collect money for the families and women who suffered from March 25, 1971 to Dec 18, 1971 in the easern wing of Baki land. Baki govt also need to pay back to India for the tab for hosting over 10 Million refugees. With interests this might be Rs. 1 Trillion. In addition for breaking Simla accord, resorting to arms and innumerous war crimes Baki land should pay back India another Rs. 3 Trillion.

World needs to to punish KSA and other gulf oil exporting countries who helped in spreading virulent Shanti all over the world which brain washed innocent pious ladies like Aafia Bibis. The Wahabi Shanti in last twenty years has killed 40K innocents in India. India deserves free oil from these gulf countries (except Iraq and Iran) for next 25 years.

BAND AID FOR CANCER
By M.J.AKBAR
03 AUGUST 2008

In the general elections of 2004 the irrepressible and sometimes irresponsible Lalu Prasad Yadav used to tow around a maulvi when in campaign mode. Nothing particularly wrong with that. Politicians have this tendency to turn mullahs into best friends at election time. What was the particular competence of this maulvi that attracted Lalu Yadav? Was he a great alim, or scholar, erudite in the finer points of Sharia? Was he a fine economist with specialised knowledge in the intricate problems of rural Bihar?

The reason was less subtle. He was a lookalike of Osama bin Laden. He even handed out autographs signed "Osama".

Lalu Yadav sent out two unmissable signals with his thoughtless pandering. He told non-Muslims that the true role model of all Bihar Muslims, irrespective of what they said in their politically-correct avatar, was a person whose name had become synonymous with terrorism. And he told Muslims, particularly their impressionable young, that Osama was a legitimate role model.

Did Mrs Sonia Gandhi, an ally of Lalu Yadav, question him or even raise the subject? Not a word. Votes were more important, even if they came in the name of Osama bin Laden. Did the subject arise when Mrs Gandhi offered Lalu Yadav a prominent place in Dr Manmohan Singh's Cabinet? No.

To be fair to Lalu, this travelling Osama was not by his side in the Assembly elections that soon followed the general elections. He had switched over — or, to be more precise, had been purchased by — Ram Vilas Paswan. Did the Congress ask questions this time around? Not a chance. Votes votes votes: that was the only morality. It was all dismissed as a joke, and the laughter was doubtless very hearty in the comfortable drawing rooms of Lutyens' Delhi.

The joke has soured on the killing fields of Malegaon, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Bangalore, Ahmedabad and a roster of cities that could enter the list of dread. The dead do not laugh even when there is a comedian as rich in range as Lalu Yadav.

The innocents have been killed and maimed by terrorists who have Osama bin Laden as their inspiration. I could produce a spread of direct and indirect evidence, from the manifesto of Indian Mujahideen to the taped speeches of Mohammad Masood Azhar (released by the BJP during the bargain over the hijacked Indian Airlines) to the honorifics used by "commanders" of the terror groups. A little will suffice.

Zakir Naik, a television evangelist who has a devoted following among the terror groups, glorifies Osama as the ultimate Islamic hero. On a different level, Maulana Sufiyan Patanigia, once head of the Lal Masjid seminary in Ahmedabad, and now on a revenge mission after the Gujarat carnage of 2002, is known as the Indian Mullah Omar, while his deputy Suhail Khan delights in the nickname "Chota Osama". The hate literature spawned by the Indian terrorist groups are full of the anti-Hindu venom that is encouraged by organisations like Lashkar-e-Tayyaba, with its haven in Pakistan.

Common sense would suggest that those Indian politicians who claim to have some sympathy for Indian Muslims would seek, in their speeches, to create a distance between this deadly extreme fringe and the broad mass of the community, not only because this was wise but primarily because this was true. Instead, such of their ilk who are in the present government in Delhi have indulged in a curious, and inexplicable, dichotomy. On the one side the Lalu Yadavs tout an Osama to fuel the worst kind of sentiment. And, on the other, there is what amounts to a complete denial that is inconsistent with facts. The Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, seems to subsist on comfort food, perhaps because the truth is politically indigestible.

The most serious instance of comfort food was the formulation he offered to his good friend George W. Bush during the latter's official visit to India. He said that no Indian Muslim was involved in terrorism, and offered as evidence that you could not find any Indian Muslim in Osama's Al Qaeda. President Bush, in his wisdom, picked this up as proof of his theory that democracy was a panacea for all ills. Not only did democracies never go to war against one another, but they also managed to secure Indian Muslims from the temptations of terrorism.

Dr Singh had clearly not consulted his intelligence agencies when he came to such a conclusion. Even a check with the Mumbai courts might have persuaded him otherwise. Indian nationals have been involved in terrorist conspiracies at least since 1993, after the trauma of the demolition of the Babri mosque and the Congress government's startling indifference to both its loss and the communal havoc that ensued. It is possible that Dr Singh meant well. But self-delusion is not diagnosis. It is perhaps such a frame of mind that takes the government towards a soft view of the guilt of Afzal Guru. Afzal Guru has been convicted for possibly the most outrageous attack on the Indian state. His conviction has been confirmed by the Supreme Court. There are no more legal avenues to traverse.

Look at this situation from the point of view of the veteran or the prospective terrorist. To start with, he knows that in India there is a lot of crime and very little punishment. If the guilty do get caught, it is often fortuitously. For lesser crimes, corruption is the sanctioned solution. For unforgivable crimes like terrorism, there is a pattern. An incident occurs, and lights flare in media. Worthy dignitaries visit the site and trot off to hospital. The Home Minister of India repeats the same inane things he has been saying for four years. And then everyone retreats into the default mode of complacency. What is there to worry about? And when an Afzal Guru is caught and convicted, the state dithers. Perhaps this is why the Indian Mujahideen had the belligerence to taunt the government, through an email (sent before the timers wreaked their damage) that they were Indians and that there was little use in explaining this away with alibis.

The most interesting characteristic about homegrown terrorism is the degree of sophistication it has acquired. The Ahmedabad bombings began with an automobile theft in Navi Mumbai; the cars travelled to Surat and Vadodara to pick up their arsenals before reaching Ahmedabad. The detonators were timed to inflict maximum damage on innocents, with a first, second and third tier of victims. This is a large operation from mastermind to foot soldiers, with a foreign connection but an Indian network. If our police cannot fold in a net, then policing has lost all meaning.

The battle is in India. India is being poisoned with a cancer. And all the government has as an answer is Band Aid.

The jobless brahmin has to suck his thumb and sit back. The jobless Gujjar protests and gets concessions. The jobless Muslim is asked to suck his thumb. But if he becomes violent - "Ah Muslims are violent! Even Quran and Mohammad asks Muslims to be violent"

India is NOT going to be able to solve its problems without some introspection by the seculars who are as guilty of supporting only the worst Muslim fundamentalists as anyone else. They only say "Muslims. Oh Muslims? They are allowed to be fully Muslim. What else do they want? They are habitual rioters"

The solution is Indianizing Shanti.

In January 66, a short dhoti clad made the better dressed bend over (and write i his own hand writing). Get dressed well but have the zipper on the back side for others convenience.

Why do Bakis bheek mang all the time? Is there something in the 7th century book? Or, is it the psychological trauma which made Bakis convert to alien legion, throw away their mother tongue, their own culture and their identity. When one loses identity s/he will beg even for false identities such as most favored munna or one night stand launda.

Baki mind is still living in the trauma of loot. plunder, rape and genocide which made them adopt aliens as masters. To come out of this trauma localize Shanti. Testicularji would you please capture in 500 words the spiritual core of Shanti.

Re: # 235

I know what I am talking since I know more than you about internet and security issues. Subcontinental Shanti elite co-opted with colonialists and so did the reds and pinks. Today the prachandas and naxals are supported by evanjihadists and jihadists. My three generations went in indian police, the grandfather got 19 promotions from lowly constable to rise to the top, when retired did not have bank balance of Rs. 2K and home of his own, dad received 2 president and one gallantry award. He also did not have his own house when retired. Indian bureaucracy works mainly because of few honest folks. The solution to clean the system is not sleeping with the colonialists and Shantists (Arab imperialists)

I know little more than you about Dawood and how ISI works in India.

Karnavati, Bangaluru and Afghanistan embassy bombing is ISI work. ISI is a child of great Aunt to keep Paki munna as colonial slave and do ungly to India. Uncle wants India badly and he was not so vicious as the aunt. Aunt is the culprit behind Khalistan and Kashmir besides Lal Denga of the Nagas. India should cultivate friendship with the uncle. Because of demographic changes and the new elite in unkill land power will slip from vicious anglo hands.

Happy days are here again for Indian civilization once we destroy this munna of arabs and angloes.

Parthaab or is it Adab of ISI

ISI agents would like to create animosity between USA and India?

Your posts are proof of that. Why BJP would hurt the people of its own state?

YOu are chirmuri when it comes to technology and computing/internet.

pt mandarji,

you should not spend so much time and effort on this pious work, your time and effort for 100/500 words is good enough.

do you think we should change the color of Shantic flag? in desert land green is much more valuable but here in the subcontinent we should have besides green, silver, saffron, gold and copper red colors on the flag. I do not want to distract your attention to this trivial stuff. Pl be focused on the essay.

"your direct objections to Islam in 1000 words and I will try to address them "directly" time permitting."

we are genuinely trying for meeting of minds. Once you come up with 500/1000 words capturing Shantic spirituality then we can build consensus on the equivalent Indian/Dharmic terms for each of the loaded Shantic spiritual terms which will help in translating this core in Gujarathi, Marathi etc
