Strategic Defiance of Pakistan ;What India can do?

                                     Strategic Defiance of Pakistan/ What can India do?

             When the Senate of Pakistan passed the 14 point plan(40 Point sub plan), many thought it will be a sort of white wash to open the NATO supply route and give fig leaf
to the ruling establishment  for getting some green packs.What came out of the exercise which was started on November 2011 by the Defence committee of the Cabinet (DCC) and also
by the Parliamentary committee on National Security (PCNS) which was also whetted by the Defence,Foreign affairs,Law,Finance Ministry bureaucrats of the Government and finally was placed before the Pakistani Parliament was a show of Defiance by Pakistan to USA. Senator Prof Kurshid Ahmed did not approve of the final recommendations though he signed the draft.The PCNS consisted of the following members.

1. Senator Miam Raza Rahhaai. Chairman
2. Senator Dr. Zaheer-ud«Di|1 Bahar Awa1| Member
3. Mr. Nadeem Afzal Condal, MHP; Member
4. Senator Mohammad lshaq Dar Member

The most important directive is that the Foreign policy of Pakistan be conducted as per
the principles of an independent foreign policy to be grounded in Strict adherence
to the Principles of Policy as Stated in Article 40 of the Constitution
of Pakistan, the UN Charter and observance of international law.

Pakistans'nuclear programme  and assets including iTs safety and

security’ cannot be compromised. The US-Indo civil nuclear agreement has significantly altered the strategic balance in the region therefore Pakistan should seek from the US and NSG similar agreement. The strategic position of Pakistan
Vis-à-vis India  on the .subject of FMCT must not he compromised
and this principle be kept in View in negotiations on this matter with USA.
  Use of Pakistani Airspace and Military bases will now require Parliamentary approval
and not the approval of the ruling Government establishment. No verbal agreement with any foreign power should be made and they must be reduced in writing if at all made.
   The territory of Pakistan shall never be used to stage attacks on any other country and all foreign fighters shall be sent away and expelled.
  The focus of Pakistan’s foreign policy should be peaceful environment in its neighbourhood which includes India and Afghanistan; economic progress and social progress should be the main focus.
While maintaining traditional link with allies ; the country is directed to diversify its source of economic,military and political support. To implement this policy the country is directed to engage India in a continuous process which is result oriented which will have the final solution of Kashmir as per UN principles.While strategic partnership with China should be deepened, further strengthening of relationship with Russia and also getting permanent membership of SCO should be prioritised. 

I think the biggest significance of the new emerging China/Russia partnership , may be that it establishes an obstacle to western monopoly and protects the rights of the non-westrn world, including the independence of the national interests and diversity of political systems.

ASEAN must be another area of priority for both.

   The Iran/Pakistan Gas pipeline project should be actively pursued.
     The process of evolving this 14 point plan a long drawn out one and the ministries involved and then the main points makes it an interesting document which has wide acceptance in Pakistani society including the fringe elements.Was it a strategic defiance or a “chaal” in the poker game.The Americans have already acting as the deal to be countered with their own moves and concessions which can be extracted from the sucker India in the form of Siachen withdrawal without AGPL.This withdrawal is linked to NATO supply line reopening and so the urgency shown by Pakistani Army and Hillary Clinton.But the patriotic Indian Army is already showing signs of defiance in the face of American pressure.
    With regard to Afghanistan, what India can do to calm the Pakistani nerves.I think the hearts and minds of ordinary Afghans are the best answer to that.
    With regard to Kashmir, the American fox is laying the line of independent Kashmir which has wide acceptance amongst all sections of Muslim society both sides of the LOC but not liked by the Budhists of Ladakh and Hindus of Jammu.
   I think India and Pakistan can jointly enter SCO and also ASEAN.
   With regard to nukes India has not gained but lost only the friendship of Iran. If Pakistan wants same type of relationship, India has not objection as long its own independent deterrence is protected.

Killing of a Bangalore lake

         It was in the year 2010 august there was this exotic birds which came to our lake Iblur and we were all thrilled as the park nearby was also cleaned up and a walking track laid.Papers talked about Lake development Authority and crores being earmarked for fencing,cleaning and rejuvenating Bangalore lakes.We saw some fencing being laid at Agara lake. But smaller Iblur lake held its own with a small circular parisal boat and some odd 5 0r 6 fishermen doing their living by catching fish.I donot know whether fishing was illegal or not but the Lake was tolerably clean inspite of immersions of giant idols of Lord Ganesha and Durga during the poojas.I think these small band of fishermen kept the lake clean so that fish will thrive and they can make a living.There was this Forest Department which will not allow a metalled road to come up surrounding the road on western side which would have benefited immensely as the main Outer ring road was on the eastern side of the lake.I am posting the Youtube links below when the exotic birds were swimming in 2010.
    Iblur Lake with Exotic birds 
    Iblur lake and black ducks 
      This happy situation changed and I think it is because fishing was stopped by the authorirties may be due to lack of bribe or legally some body wanted it to end.Now this has created the Parthenon weed to envelop the whole lake in a matter of just 6 months.The you tube links to the situation as it looks now is better than words.
       Iblur lake with weeds covering

      Iblur Lake with weeds
 
       Whom to blame for this killing of a beautiful lake in just 6 months.? Was the removal of Ex Chief Minister Yediurappa responsible for this paralysis in administration? Politicians,babus,Forest officials who are responsible for this?

Ladies Public toilet

What is the one issue which I will like to see implemented in India? This question was posted by a blogger group.I thought over it for some time and came to this idea of "Ladies Public toilet" as the one area which is deficient in modern India.One can always see on the highways when one travels by bus or train, village ladies getting up from relieving themselves.As my mother was diabetic i know her need for frequent urination and so the need for a Ladies urinal and various ways my father used to become a screen along with young me on the highways.Now when my only daughter being on heavy dose of anti/Psychotics, she also faces this problem and I am an expert in finding ladies Urinals at unlikeliest places in Bangalore.The Mushrooming malls around Bangalore are a great help but when I think of ordinary village women folk and others especially senior citizens suffering from diabetes or Prostate problem then the issue becomes one of public nuisance for other Citizens while it is a life and death issue for those sufferers. To solve this issue one has also to find water in and around highways and so water is a major issue of resource to solve this problem.When Indians do not have clean germ free drinking water throughout India, the question of ladies toilet takes back seat. As a village boy who grew up among the Temples of Tamilnadu, I wonder now how royal ladies of yore could control themselves as it is normally the custom for royals to worship along with commoners in Temples (No ticketed VIP darshan those days).We have a Temple pond called (Teppa kulam) in the center of almost every temple where everyone takes bath before going for worship which is a daily routine amongst Tamils in village.We young kids are not allowed to bathe in the pond and those who know swimming might have urinated in the pond itself.Most of the Temples in North are located on the banks of the river while Tamilnadu does not have so many rivers and so the Teppakulam is the answer for washing before worship. When i visited Hampi ruins recently I was fascinated to see a Toilet seat amongst the ruins (carved out of black stone) which is exhibited in the Hampi national museum.

I do not know where and at what location this was excavated but shows that at least royals had this type of toilet.In Bangalore infrastructure development means flyovers which are not normally used as most of the traffic goes by the side or below the flyover. Signal free corridor to Airport is the Manthra but none talks about Signal free corridor to Kempegowda Bus station or City Railway station or to even any major City Hospital. They talk about ambulances on Highways and so many new fascilities and I hope ladies Toilet for the Public also forms part of the thinking amongst the Indian Highway planners

St.Mary's Island and Mangalore

My wife wanted to go to a sea coast for a holiday and I selected Mangalore and booked train tickets accordingly.That it entailed three of us (all seniors) to climb the upper birth was a little deterrence especially the return journey was all for three side upper berths. I booked a hotel after lot of feed back from my friends considering the budget etc. But my wife got carried away by a gentleman in the train who advised us to take a room in a hotel which was double our budget once we landed up there. So we were forced to take non ac rooms and soon found to our horror it was really sickening as we are so used to air conditioned climate of Bangalore. Taste ‘Ideal Ice cream”, Eat Fish and Prawn fry at Preira rstaurant were some of the briefings.None seemed to know St.Mary’s Island and then I got to know it was also called Malpe beach we took an auto to St Mary’s island.The ride was pleasant and once we reached the boarding point at Malpe, we found that there are two ways of going to the Island. It costs rupees 485/- per head for a ferry ride in Government ferry while it would have costed rupees 1800/- per head in a private boat.We selected the Government ferry and thankful for the fun in boarding the ferry and also disembarking at the St,Mary’s island.The ferry ride was awesome and also the clutter of so many voices and cries of children. One could see white coral rocks in a island cluster on the side from our ferry.I think In whole of India the auto drivers of Mangalore alone charge strictly as per meter. We found a lone westerner amongst the tourists. From his cap I could see he has served in Afghanistan and was here may be on a holiday. He said he is from a country which I may not even know and when he said he is from Lithuania, I said i know the three former soviet Baltic republics, he was very happy.Christian (that is his name) said he is curious about his country’s language and its connection to Sanskrit.He said none of the other languages surrounding his country has nothing in common while there is plenty of commonality between Lithuanian and Konkani http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_languages . Why we Indians have this uncanny knack to neglect our own ancient history while we have to learn about our own history from foreigners especially from the west My wife as usual collected some pebbles. There was also the lone Geological survey of India tablet saying that Vas codi Gama landed here first on his way to Indian mainland.Some of the videos which I took are in the enclosed file.The side upper berth return journey to Bangalore did not look horrifying after the delicious Gadbad Ice cream from Ideal. That the Karnataka Government took this St.Mary’s Island to show case the tourist potential got lost in the orgy some of the esteemed young tourists indulged in.The authorities should be commended for this step but then the tourists selected were not upto the Indian sensitivity .The video of Daink bhaskar on this issue is rather graphic. I will recommend all to go to Mangalore and have that delicious Ideal ice cream before going to St.Mary's Island.

Geniuses who were Mentally ill

The list provided by the accredited colleges has 20 names of Geniuses who were mentally ill and mostly from the west. I tried to think of Indian geniuses who might have been mentally ill but did not come into open due to stigma or just ignorance . I thought about our folk lore and epics and the following names come to my mind. But this is only my surmise and hypothetical .
Sage Vishwamithra.
Lord Parshuram
Among our modern day geniuses there is not much written due to Indian way of keeping anything connected to mental illness secret. Hope the stigma attached to Mental illness goes or the genius himself has got the guts to tell his illness without guilt or fear.
The link to the 20 geniuses is below.

Indo/Pakistan war of 1971, a view by a Pakistani Army officer.

As 18th December approaches, the Indian Media goes gaga over exploits of Indian Army while Pakistani media talks about RAW and how Indians played a clever game. But the following account by a Pakistani Army officer who took part in that conflict and was decorated should be an eye opener for Pakistani people. They tend to blame everything on the Civilian government and how they betrayed the nation while Pakistani Fauj stood rock like to save their country.Now also it is the elected Civilian government which is facing the flak for Shamsi airbase lease,drone attacks by USA or NATO supply line etc. They conveniently ignore it was General Musharaff and GHQ under him who were solely responsible for all this.

KFC contest on FIRE!

For me KFC is an escape hatch because My daughter is addicted to its large Pepsi with Chicken wings while I can always take their combo meal with two chicken pieces.So their new introduction of chicken popcorn is welcome as also opening of their outlets near my home at Total Sarjapur road and HSR layout.As my daughter does not talk much, it is our endevour to make her speak independent of our effort.The KFC outlet makes her go there on her own and buy that large pepsi combo puts us we old carers on fire. A young couple may be on fire for different reasons while our reason is rather mundane.

Memogate of Mansoor Ijaz and Lessons for India

A Memo purported to be written by Mr.Mansoor Ijaz on the instructions of Pakistan’s Ambassador to USA and delivered to General Mullen has already claimed the head of the ambassador.What is intriguing in the whole affair is the denial by both the principal actors about their own role and both trying to prove their own versions by showing their Blackberry phone records( controlled from Canada by RIM).Now if according to Mansoor Ijaz the memo was prepared immediately after the Osama operation in Abbotobad and fall out in Pakistani army due to that, then why he is releasing it now?Why he kept it secret all these months and what was the need now to expose Ambassador Haqqani?
I think for this one must know more about Mansoor Ijaz.His father was one of those Nuclear engineers who fashioned early Nukes of USA.Mansoor himself qualified as a Nuclear Physicist from Cal tech.But he founded and chaired Crescent Investment Management LLC in 1991, an entirely a new genre.Who provided the seed money for this venture that he could appoint Lt.Gen James Alan Abrahamson (USAF RTD), a former director of President Reagan’s star wars programme and also James Woolsey (Director CIA RTD) to his board.The focus of his company was high technology,telecommunications,oil and gas investments and infrastructure development.
Prince Alfred von Liechtenstein was also on the advisory board and this shows that black money and Hawala transactions of the subcontinent must be also his forte.All those Big fat cats of sub continent from Politics, Business, Media etc etc who have their ill gotten wealth stashed away in Liechtenstein will be known to Mansoor Ijaz. A powerful tool for blackmail and doing their bidding especially as their career in Politics becomes untenable in case of exposure.
Another interesting thing is that Mansoor IJaz is also one of the directors in a company registered in Isle of Man called Crescent Hydropolis resorts LLC which has also German connection.This company has under sea resorts built in Dubai,Monaco,Las vegas and Oman.All areas where the Super rich of the third world squander their wealth along with Super rich of the west.
StratCom International, a firm headed by Lt Gen James Abrahamson, the first director of the US Star Wars programme, was seeking India's partnership in the stratospheric airship project for its expertise in vehicle design, payloads and control systems.Though the Airship developed for USA will hover at 70,000 feet high above the civilian air traffic and had ballistic missile sensor , interceptor platforms (Metal storms Ltd developed)and in effect an AWACS.But the Indian offer was for a platform at 50,000 feet to monitor LOC and LAC of Indo/Pakistan and Indoa/china border.ISRO’s Amtrix and Devas deal in which it sold S band to Devas comes to my mind at this juncture.
Mnasoor Ijaz has strong Turkish business connection and they jointly bid for Pakistan PTCL privatisation cake but ultimately won by UAE based EITLISAT .
Mansoor tried to make Pakistan government to recognise Israel when Benazir was ruling and again when General Musharaff was having his Military dictatoship. Both the times he could not succeed.But he did succeed in making Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee to meet General Musharaff at Agra inspite of his Kargil Mis adventure and taking over as Dictator from Nawaz Sheriff. Mansoor being an Ahmediya was not much respected in Pakistani Army circles. But he had the ear of Musharaff. He also had the ear of Vajpayee shows the tremendous clout he had with US government and also amongst Indian Business class who support right wing BJP.
The Memogate is lapped up by the Pakistani people as a betrayal of their country and Armed forces but none seem to think it could be a CIA job as was the Gulf of Tonkin,Iraq WMD or the recent Saudi ambassador assassination attempt by Iran. Everybody seem to think it could be a Zardari job in which Haqqani was made the fall guy.
With American business interests entering big way into Indian privatisation as also Indian Arms purchases, the Military Industrial complex of Americans have a vested interest to exploit the Indian Democratic system which has many cracks in the form of regional parties who show rare interest in Global issues and Military matters.
The recent Koodankulam agitation against a Nuke plant being built by Russians by villagers who are guided by foreign vested interests, the concerted effort against Indian Home Minister P.Chidambaram( one of the best we had in recent times),the closure of Bhopal tragedy cases against the DOW chemical and the various other ways the western nations benefit at the expense of ordinary Indians are all related to these types of operatives like Mansoor Ijaz who use every tool in their kitty to get their way especially blackmail involving foreign accounts of Indians .Indian scientists from ISRO,DRDO,AEC etc must be warned about these operatives and they normally use SEMINARS in 5 star hotels to trap our lowly paid Scientists and Bureaucrats.Every one in Indian strategic community who deal with any foreigner for that matter must be given instructions about these sophisticated operatives.

My favorite PC Desktop application

There is this competition by Samsung asking every blogger to write about their favorite

PC application. I will give my vote to Google desktop.
Being a news junkie, this application allows me to get news from various sources in the cyber world by putting their URL.Some Favorite news channels can be easily added and also video channels.
It has got the time, weather of my home town and also a small box showing my CPU,memory,disk etc are being monitored continuously.
Scratch pad gives a chance for small write ups which will be saved automatically.
There are plenty of other interesting things which one can add to this application. I donot know whether this will work in lap top or a tablet as I donot own any of them.
This also takes only 4 KB memory space
But I am very happy with this application on my desktop

Two Nuclear Monkeys and an American fox

Americans know that computer modelling cannot replace actual testing for ensuring upkeep of existing nuke stocks nor for making more robust nukes which may have to destroy deep cave nuclear resistant bunkers. The nukes are for deterrence and the only assurance that they will work is to test them so that the enemies know.
The North Korean underground test was NOT detected by sophisticated satellite imagery, or by sophisticated nuke discovering stations located in USA, China, Russia,Japan or even by South Korea.The noble gases were not detected. It is a Canadian radionuclide station which
detected the Xenon gas.But the North Koreans were not happy because USA will just not accept that they have conducted a test which is meant for deterrence of enemy which in their eyes is USA. Now those who want to cheat can use decoupling the nukes before testing to reduce the seismic signal.China,USA,India,Pakistan,Egypt,Indonesia,Iran,Israel and North Korea have not signed the NPT out of 44 nations which posses nuclear know how. JASONS, a nuclear think tank in US has warned that Stockpile Stewardship of existing nukes may not completely give the workable assurance of the nukes.When the personnel ,silos and other maintenance infrastructure allowed to stagnate, then the second strike capability lacks a credible deterrence to the enemies.Bunker Busters developed by Bush are being tested in Tripoli,Afghanistan and other places.
The very process of nuclear development and testing
enables a generation of experienced, proven designers and technologists; it
necessitates a working nuclear weapons infrastructure; and, it signals clearly to those
nations’ leaderships—as well as to the world—that the government from the top down
supports the maintenance of those countries’ nuclear arsenals and deterrence goals.
US shows to outside world that their nuclear and military goals are peaceful while actually it is anything but peaceful and every other nation must watch what USA does but not what it talks or preaches
Now coming to the two Nuclear Monkeys of the subcontinent. Indian leadership is told by the Seminarists who normally are connected to various American think tanks like Heritage,American Enterprise Institute,Brooklyn ,CATO etc etc that India must talk to Pakistan because it did talk to Pakistan inspite of Kargil. But now as UPA has failed , just like NDA with their old approach of talking,stop talking for a while after a terror strike, and then restart talks because Pakistan is our neighbour till the next terror strike controlled from Pakistan happens. Pakistan keeps giving assurances while the Army/Jihad complex keeps plotting for the next strike and the timing to suit its objectives. This strategy of keeping India off/balance should not be acceptable any more and India must convince the Pakistani Army/Jihad complex that there is cost attached to any strike which is controlled from Pakistan like the Mumbai 26/11, or the Indian Parliament attack. India must openly support Balochs, Sindhies etc etc as the Pakistan is doing in Kashmir,Northeast,Assam or Punjab.In short treat Pakistan openly as an enemy country.While the US government has been involved in the Headley interrogation and the Rana trial in Chicago, most of the stories about Pakistan’s perfidy in GWoT and the machinations of its military-jehadi complex have been broken by the international media. Proliferation of the internet and web technologies means that these stories are now easily available to most of the Indians. The political price an elected Indian government has to pay must now decide future of India/Pakistan talks and the cost which India should inflict on Pakistan for their low cost Jihad.
So why not test the Paksitani nuclear first strike thres -hold by striking at the 57 Terrorist training camps in Pakistan along with houses of Hafeez Saeed and Dawood Ibrahim and the fake currency printing press.. Will this trigger the Pakistani nukes to be armed? So goes the argument of the western backed Seminarists.
Ofcourse the Pakistani state controlled by Military /Jihad complex from the time of General Zia-ul-Haq to Musharaff does not need any education in hating India or testing the socalled the thresehold of Indian nukes as they know everything depends on the Political leadership and that especially now is under the control of Americans. The Jihad complex is remotely controlled from Saudi arabia through ISI, Dubai,Dacca,and the location is revealed as per needs. Once a major terror strike like the one in 26/11 is organised and casualties are ensured then the Indian public opinion will be conditioned to pressurise Indian Political leadership to do something. I think the present Mumbai attack is one such pin prick and many more are likely to take place as per the preparation of the Jihadies and their handlers.I expect one in Delhi,Bangalore and even in Tamilnadu and West Bengal.
The assesment by US/Russia about a dirty bomb attack is published and it says
“”The assessment examines potential terrorist pathways to a nuclear attack, among them buying or stealing an existing weapon, or getting highly enriched uranium or plutonium and fashioning a crude nuclear bomb of their own, which the study warns is distressingly plausible.
All stocks of nuclear weapons, highly enriched uranium, and plutonium must be protected against all plausible terrorist and criminal threats, and the number of locations where these stocks exist must be reduced as much as practicable.
Coordinated U.S.-Russian leadership is vital for this international effort because the two countries hold the largest nuclear stockpiles and are most experienced in dealing with nuclear security. This joint effort should promote and support enhanced intelligence and law enforcement by the United Nations, the International Atomic Energy Agency, and international police organizations.”””
Meanwhile the Americans with leadership help from Australia have launched Asia pacific Leadership Network for Nuclear Disarmament and non/proliferation.General Karamat and Murshid Hassan from Pakistan are supplemented by Jaswant Singh of BJP and Mr.Man singh, ex Indian Chief de mission in Washington are assisted by two high profile diplomats from China and 30 others from Japan,Korea,Indonesia,Singapore,Malaysia etc.led by the Australians.
While defanging of Pakistan is the immediate goal, it follows that Indian and North Korean nukes are also on priority list. China will play a significant role in the defangment of south asia and North Korea as it knows its neighbourhood should be nuclear free zone for its own security.
What role USA has assigned Russia and China in this defanging is not clear but their national security interests converge in this is apparent.
So a small skirmish along Indo/Pak border will suit the trio but how the Jihad complex functions under their handlers will decide the scale of this skirmish and also the forcible nuke elimination of both countries
Clinton is bringing with her Nuclear experts who I think are going to assess the Kalpakkam Indian nuclear complex which is housing the fast breeder and also the Military Nuclear complex which is not in the list of entities which India will throw open to IAEA inspection. India must watch the actions of western powers but not their slogans if it genuinely wants to be a world power.

The first priority in the above certification given by Hillary to the Congress shows the priority and national interest of USA. Indians must not be carried away by the Media controlled frenzy and look at actions of USA carefully.
