The "other" India

R.Alamsha — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 23:52:22 EST

We are good at winning the battle and losing the war. We forget that with 1.2 billion people to feed, whatever we are deabating is simply irrelevant for 70% of the population who have no access even to the very basics like toilet and water supply system. We all know deep inside our heart that this is a nightmare and a silent volcano and tsunami is brewing right under our arse. Even there is a silent consensus among all of us that this is the law of nature and if some has to stay, some has to go. But, we forget that the “other India” also is arriving at the same consensus as we are.

Look at our matrimonial ads. Parents from the 30% are every day seeking alliance from well settled brides / grooms in UK, US, Canada, Australia and Europe. Every one of our ruling elites, including the PM, President, nationalist party leaders and policy makers have their sons and daughters settled in these nations.

Let us look around our neighbours. While bollywood movies and Indian people are loved by everyone around the world, we pretend ignorant to the fact that there is a growing aversion towards India in the SAARC region. While the traditional hatred between India and Pakistan is well known, why India could not build a cordial relationship with any of it’s neighbours Bangladesh, Srilanka, Nepal and China?. We can not close our eyes to the fact that the entire subcontinent is gravitating towards China and very soon India may be left all alone.

The “holier than thou” attitude and unreasonable boasting of intellectual prowess by repeatedly quoting certain phrases like Einstein’s “We owe a lot to Indians who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made”, “worlds largest democracy” etc while the genocides, corrupt judiciary, quality of life, deteriorating infrastrature and weeping poverty speaks otherwise, generates a sense of hypocrisy and disillusion about India in the minds of weaker neighbours.

Dr.Manmohan Singh knows these geopolitical dynamics very well and realised that he can't have an Indo-US nuclear deal under his arms and extend the hand of friendship to China as well. Simply put, China did not buy his bluff. In this context, China is emerging as a defacto leader of the subcontinent and all our "weaker neighbours" have started signing "deals and pacts" with China. Obviously, one can not have his cake and eat it too.

Hope, we are not moving towards taking pride in glorified tragedies like “slumdog millionaire”.

Should India teach or learn a "lesson" from Pakistan ?.

R.Alamsha — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 23:26:21 EST

We all know very well that 150 years of Hindu-Muslim hatred has culminated into the birth of Pakistan. After partition, the Hindu and Muslim population in either countries have become easy target for the majority to vent their anger and frustration against the minority.

After 60 years, the 10% Hindu population of Pakistan has dwindled down to less than 2% while 10% of Muslim population of India has almost doubled to 20% , in proportion with the national average. Most of the Pakistani Hindus have migrated to India, while almost all the Indian Muslims who were not cut by the geographical division have remained intact as Indians, despite descrimination and alienation.

The abscence of a moderating force has pushed Pakistan into the grip of Islamists while Hinduism in India has done the remarkable job of severing the umbilical cord between the Muslims and the Mullahs. An Indian Muslim might be economically and politically weaker than his Pakistani counter part but definitely commands more respect in the world arena and knows how to play by the rules of the game.

The Mumbai terror attack is a crucial milestone in the Indo-Pak rivalry. It has proved beyond doubt that it is impossible for India to teach any kind of lesson to Pakistan by any war. Whatever "other options open" is irrelevant for Pakistan because it is seen as a hero in the eyes of "Muslim world", for the very resons that India can NOT bully Pakistan any more.

Today, the people of Pakistan have got fedup of "Allah + Army" combo and they are eagerly looking out for an opportunity to get out of this mess. In fact, most of the Pakistani intellectuals have started enjoying the vulgar assault of Indian media on Pakistani establishments and they welcome it as a necessary anti-dose for their illness. But, it should NOT be misinterpreted as a disillusion against their state of Pakistan. The desire to see their nation strong and prosperous is "deep rooted" in the heart of every Pakistani as much as that of an Indian for India.

India can not continue with it's "outdated" mindset against Pakistan. We don't have an answer for the "roti, kapda, makaan" dream of 1.2 billion population. It is a silent volcano and tsunami brewing right under our arse. Jingoistic slogans of "Bharat mata ki, jay" is pushing all the neighbours towards China and creating an aversion for India in the SAARC region.

India should gracefully accept the bitter reality that Pakistan is a strong and sovereign nation and will NEVER get cowed down by India.

Pakistan is ready for a "real" dialogue. It is anxiously waiting. India should accept to "live and sleep" with the enemy. India should break the barriers. Pakistan is waiting.

Drawing a parallel between Israel and India

Piyush Dhawan — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 03:50:40 EST

US President elect Obama, during a visit to Israel, said:

"If somebody was sending rockets into my house where my two daughters sleep at night, I'm going to do everything in my power to stop that. I would expect Israelis to do the same thing."

Drawing a parallel between this and what happened in Mumbai on 26/11, don't you think we Indians also have a right to bring to justice the people who carried on the attacks.

Indians have been the victims of terror for over 5 decades now and we have been considered as a soft state because our government has not taken any concrete action all these years... and in most probability we wont act even now...

We would expect the new president to instil the same confidence trust in India as you have in your mid-east ally, Israel, so that the root of terrorism in the world, the state of Pakistan is made to act against its state/non-state actors...

Hope this post meets the eye of the people that matter.

Putin’in gücü, Büyük Britanya’nın doğuşunu engellemeye yetecek mi!

Hadrianapolis — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 14:25:10 EST

Afrika kıtasında birdenbire patlak veren ve tüm ilginin bu bölgeye yoğunlaşmasına neden olan korsan eylemlerinin yankıları henüz sona ermeden dünya bu kez, Hindistan’daki eski adıyla “Bombay” olarak bilinen şehirde büyük bir katliam girişimine tanık oldu.

Bir önceki yazımda da belirttiğim gibi terör eylemleri, bugünlerde tarihsel geçmişindeki ideolojik ve siyasal formatıyla çıkıyor karşımıza. Hollywood stüdyolarında kurgulanmış filmler izleniyor sanki demiştim o yazımda. Fakat bu tespitimde yanıldığımı düşünüyorum artık. İnsan merkezli hiçbir siyasal proje, insanın değişkenliği nedeniyle bu denli kontrol edilemez. Artık çok kutuplu dünya dengelerinin birbiriyle olan çekişmelerine yeniden tanık olacak insanlık.

Toprakları üzerinde güneşin batmadığı Büyük Britanya İmparatorluğu derin uykusundan yavaş, yavaş uyanmaya mı başladı nedir! Şu finansal krizlerle boğuşan dünya piyasaları kendilerine bir çıkış yolu ararlarken akıllara her nedense birden bire eski kolonyaller geldi. Sahi, şu eski sömürge ulusların bir şekilde hizaya getirilerek cebren dahi olsa ikna edilmeleri mümkün müydü acaba? Eski dönemlerin ekonomileri farklı ihtiyaçlara yönelik olduğu için yeterince faydalanılamamış atıl kaynaklar, modern zamanların teknolojik bilinç ve donanımından büsbütün mahrum olan şu barbarların elinden alınamaz mıydı? Hazır, dünya aktörlüğüne oynayan şu dev, şimdilik kendi sorunlarıyla meşgulken küçük bir manevra yapmanın ne sakıncası olabilirdi!

Evet, Hindistan birden bire sorunlu bir bölge haline dönüştü şimdilerde. Nasıl dönüşmesin; Rusya Devlet Başkanı Dimitri Medyedev’in, Hint Başbakanı Manmohan Singh ile nükleer enerji ve uzay araştırmalarında ortak hareket etme kararı alıp karşılıklı anlaşmalar imzalamaları. Ardından, 2. Dünya Savaşı’ndan bu yana ilk kez bir Rus savaş gemisinin Panama Kanalını geçerek Romdan Limanı’na demirleyecek olması, bu durumun; Venezuella ile yapılan ortak bir deniz tatbikatıyla birlikte bölgede Rus etkisinin güçlendirileceğinin açıklanması zaten ortaya çıkmış olan kaosun habercisi oldu. Fakat terör hareketlerinin kışkırtılması bu bölgede beklenen sonuçların alınmasına yeterli olmayacaktır. Arkadan ne gibi açılımların yapılacağını doğrusu merak etmemek elde değil.

Equality ........?

Ready to accept my faults — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 04:45:33 EST

Hello all.... before writing my first post in this new blog I would like to introduce myself with you all.

I am Kush Soni, a student cum worker from India.

........ some days ago I, and I belive you all also have seen one terrible terrorist attack in Mumbai, India.. unfortunetly i wasn't in Mumbai that time else i won't create this blog ..... i have seen 9/11 also which has happened in US.... more or less the result were same ... people died, lost, and all were searching for their missing partners...however some lukcy one found them alive in some corner but what about those who found their dead bodies? I hope no citizen of US want that this happen again and not only the people of US but the Government of US also got committed to do so... they investigate the things and got the clue about the attack and just to save themselve from another terrorist attack they attacked Taliban and conquered that same... though everyone was criticizing this act of US but I belive country and its citizen are first priority of any of the leader.

I agree that US government done the right thing at that time.... but now question and situation has been changed... some days ago a group of terrorist came in Mumbai ... shot here and there... kidnapped many people( including Americans, Britishers) and played a nude game of terrorism.

Indian soldiers did a superb job and ended up with the win...but was this the only end of that terror days... I would say 'No'.

Indian government gave solid evidence to USA, as it is one of the super power (however India can conquer anyone), that all these activities were done by the Pakistani people only.. .they refused to to do any investigation and all .... now the situation are again in conversation phase just because of the USA double standard policy againg terrorism.......

I would like to ask this question from US citizens and Mr. Barack also that why don't you give support to the India to destroy all the terrorist training center running in Pakistan...? why don't you ask pakistan to handove all the wanted to India as you are asking for Bin Laden?

Waiting for your reply all US citizen and Mr. Obama.

Mumbai attacks more complicated than corporate press reports

December 1, 2008 -- Mumbai attacks more complicated than corporate press reports

by Wayne Madsen @ waynemasdenreport.com

As first reported by WMR while the corporate press was uttering the "Al Qaeda" bogeyman as likely behind the terror attacks on Mumbai, the Press Trust of India (PTI) is now confirming WMR's initial report that Pakistan- and Dubai-based criminal syndicate boss Dawood Ibrahim's gangsters handed over the weapons and explosive material to Lashkar-e-Taiba (LET) terrorists to carry out the assault on targets in Mumbai.

According to PTI, one LET terrorist captured by India, Ajmal Qasab, said he and his fellow terrorists sailed from Karachi and entered Mumbai's port area with the help of Ibrahim's agents who run several customs facilities in Mumbai. However, there are some questions being raised about Qasab and his claims. The so-called security camera shot of Qasab, who is being billed by the media as the "lone surviving gunman," at Chatrapathi Sivaji train terminal in Mumbai, appears fake. The angle is too narrow for a train station which would have a wider angle and be shot from higher up than the photo being shopped by the Indian police. However, according to Asian intelligence sources, Qasab may have been trained by Hindu militants and was rushed to the scene of the attack for a photo opportunity hastily arranged by the Hindu right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) propaganda team. One Asian intelligence source who has spent a great deal of time in Pakistan reports that he has "never seen a haircut like his [Qasab's] in Pakistan or on either side of Line of Control in Kashmir." He also pointed out that Qasab is a bit overweight for an average "mujad" who slim down in training by exercising and eating a sparse diet of lentils and flat bread.......

South Asia now a crisis zone: Further attacks could provoke enraged India

South Asia now a crisis zone: Further attacks could provoke enraged India

by Eric Margolis @ smirkingchimp.com

Last week's bloody attacks in Mumbai (Bombay) that left more than 150 dead and 300 wounded are the latest sign the once distinct conflicts in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kashmir and western India are beginning to overlap, creating a new, increasingly dangerous zone of crisis in South Asia.

India immediately blamed Pakistan for the attacks.

The Mumbai attacks appeared designed to punish and humiliate India over the Kashmir conflict. Kashmir is India's only Muslim majority state. India has 500,000 troops and paramilitary units fighting Muslim Kashmiri independence seekers. The 19-year-old struggle has left some 40,000 dead, mostly Muslims..........

Bound by Sorrows: India and Pakistan Are in this Together

by Mohsin Hamid @ guardian.co.uk

In the rush to blame Pakistan for the terrorist atrocity in Mumbai, a dangerous mistake is being made. The impulse to implicate Pakistan is of course understandable: the past is replete with examples of Pakistani and Indian intelligence agencies working to destabilize the historical enemy across the border.

But it is too soon to know who is behind the current attacks. Some or all of the attackers may indeed come from or have supporters in Pakistan. Equally, some or all may be Indian. The desire of some in India to ascribe guilt to Pakistan before the evidence is in is, therefore, an attempt to avoid introspection.

India and Pakistan are more alike than politicians of either country tend to acknowledge. The triumphal narrative of India as an incredible success, and the defeatist narrative of Pakistan as an impending disaster are both only half true. For much of this young century, Pakistan has enjoyed economic growth rates not far behind those of India, and this year Pakistan has emulated its neighbor by returning to democracy..........

MUMBAI: India’s intelligence services had delivered at least three precise warnings that a major terrorist attack on Mumbai was imminent

John Lewis-Dickerson, Atlanta — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 13:46:43 EST

Pointed intelligence warnings preceded attacks

Praveen Swami @ "The Hindu" (India)

Weaknesses in police infrastructure facilitated the attack, government sources say

MUMBAI: India’s intelligence services had delivered at least three precise warnings that a major terrorist attack on Mumbai was imminent, highly-placed government sources have told The Hindu.

However, weaknesses in police manpower and training allowed the attacks to proceed, the sources said.

On November 18, the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) intercepted a satellite phone conversation, in which a so-far unidentified caller notified his handlers that he was heading for Mumbai along with a certain cargo.

RAW analysts, however, rapidly determined that the apparently innocuous call was made to a Lahore phone number known to be used by the Lashkar-e-Taiba’s main military commander for operations targeting India, who is known only by the code-names ‘Muzammil’ and ‘Abu Hurrera.’

Mumbai Police investigators have determined that the call was made from a satellite phone that was eventually found abandoned on the Porbandar-based fishing boat Kuber, hijacked by the terrorists mid-ocean, most likely on November 19. The satellite phone also contains records of several other calls to Lashkar handlers in Pakistan..........

Mumbai to Obama: End Bush's War on Terror

Mumbai to Obama: End Bush's War on Terror

Saturday 29 November 2008

by: Steve Weissman, t r u t h o u t | Perspective

The terrorist attacks in Mumbai call out to President-elect Barack Obama and his advisors to rethink the signature blunder of George W. Bush's eight years in office - the so-called War on Terror. As US intelligence reports have made clear, the centerpiece of the supposed campaign against terror, the military occupation of Iraq, has increased the likelihood of more attacks like those in Mumbai, Madrid, London and Manhattan. The new escalation in Afghanistan will similarly increase terrorist attacks there, in neighboring India and Pakistan, in disputed Kashmir, and throughout the world.

Bush and Cheney chose the word "war" with malice aforethought. From the start, they intended a military response, first against Al-Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan, and then against Saddam Hussein in Iraq. And, as Barton Gellman shows so brilliantly in his book "Angler," Dick Cheney and his team consciously wanted to create a wartime presidency with enormous unchecked power and scant regard for basic American liberties......

Why Mumbai? Terrorism Has Many Causes. Here's One Of Them

Why Mumbai? Terrorism Has Many Causes. Here's One Of Them

by: Paul Rosenberg @ openleft.com

In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, Gallup International did a poll in 37 countries--including the US--asking how America should respond to the attacks. Should they/we respond with a military attack, or should they/we take a criminal justice approach--tracking down those responsible, extradicting them, and putting them on trial. Of the 35 nations, landslide majorities in 32 of them said that a criminal justice approach was best. The three others? Israel, the US, and... India.

This alone should have warned us not to take the path of war. Israel and India have both spent decades responding to Islamic terrorist threats with war. Hasn't worked. But the more it doesn't work, the more determined their people have become. Of course, they've also employed a criminal justice approach as well. But they've had their own Guantanamos come out of that, as well.......

It looks like whoever planned and executed this terror attack aimed it at America -- specifically, at Western media feeding Americans on a holiday.

Also Aimed at America

By: Teddy Partridge @ firedoglake.com

While I agree with Digby that early coverage by our media of the American-centric aspect of the Mumbai terror attacks was rather shameful, by now it looks like whoever planned and executed this terror attack aimed it at America -- specifically, at Western media feeding Americans on holiday around our televisions on a long weekend with less shopping planned.

That's fairly sophisticated and fairly scary too.

The hotels that were attacked were central to the American expat/tourism experience in Mumbai; most Western companies that are now firmly ensconced in that south Asian financial capital began their Indian incarnation in a small hotel suite in the Taj or the Oreboi. Some that haven't yet built or leased their own office towers now occupy entire floors. And the Taj Palace and Towers was readying for an influx of Westerners, especially Americans, for Thanksgiving celebrations......

Mumbai: Institutional Paranoia And Obama's Foreign Policy

Mumbai: Institutional Paranoia And Obama's Foreign PolicyBy

Cernig @ crooksandliars.com

There are a lot of conflicting reports coming out of the Indian subcontinent right now, and no-one seems to have told their right hand what their left hand is doing. For instance, The UK's Telegraphreports Vilasrao Deshmukh, the chief minister of Mumbai, saying that two British citizens were among the terrorists who first attacked Mumbai two days ago and who are still being winkled out of their positions by Indian special forces- while elsewhere the Mumbai Police Commissioner Hassan Gafoor is being quoted as saying "We have found nothing to indicate they were British."

That confusion extends to speculation about who is to blame, although India seems to be prematurely certain. Pranab Mukherjee, India's Foreign Minister, has said: "Preliminary evidence, prima facie evidence, indicates elements with links to Pakistan are involved." India is stopping and searching Pakistan-flagged merchant vessels, yet the best indications are that the terrorists came ashore from Indian fishing vessels. Rather than admit it might have an indigenous terrorism problem, which would open an unhappy can of worms about tensions between militant Muslim extremists and equally militant Hindu supremacists, the Indian government is stretching as hard as it can to implicate Pakistan. Their working theory is that these Indian boats were hijacked off Pakistani shores - yet they've no evidence for that at all......

Mumbai, the NYT's revisionism, and lessons not learned

by Glenn Greenwald @ salon.com

The New York Times Editorial Page, today, on poor U.S./Latin American relations:

[T]he Bush administration did enormous damage to American credibility throughout much of the region when it blessed what turned out to be a failed coup against Mr. Chávez.

Indeed it did. But what the Times fails to mention, and is apparently eager to erase, is that "the Bush administration" was far from alone in blessing that coup attempt:

The New York Times Editorial Page, April 13, 2002 -- one day after the coup:

With yesterday's resignation of President Hugo Chávez, Venezuelan democracy is no longer threatened by a would-be dictator. Mr. Chávez, a ruinous demagogue, stepped down after the military intervened and handed power to a respected business leader, Pedro Carmona...........

Forgotten Lessons From 9/11

Forgotten Lessons From 9/11

By Anne Applebaum @ washingtonpost.com

Saturday, November 29, 2008; Page A15

As I write, the world's security experts still have no idea which organization carried out this week's terrorist attacks in Mumbai, and I have no idea myself. The Indian government suspects Pakistani groups, but some eyewitnesses have said the gunmen spoke Hindi, which could mean that they were of Indian origin. The attacks, carried out on several targets simultaneously, reminded some of al-Qaeda, but the gunmen were not suicide bombers and they did not use standard al-Qaeda technology. A group calling itself the "Deccan Mujaheddin" has claimed responsibility, but no one has heard this name before. One anonymous "U.S. counterterrorism official" mentioned a few other groups -- Lashkar-i-Taiba, which means "Army of the Pious," and Jaish-i-Muhammad, or "Soldiers of Muhammad" -- but even off the record he refused to be drawn further. "It's still too early for hard and fast conclusions."

Other experts, both named and anonymous, used phrases such as "premature" and "I'm pretty sure" and "caution." Without much to go on, analysts have been speculating about the consequences of a political rupture between India and Pakistan or the long and somewhat neglected history of domestic terrorism in India. Some think the apparent targeting of American, British and Jewish tourists is significant. Others reckon that the real target must have been the financial district of Mumbai, India's commercial capital. All in all, it is a very unsatisfactory picture.......

The Mumbai Attacks - Al Qaeda, Pakistani Proxies or Hindutva Backlash?

The Mumbai Attacks - Al Qaeda, Pakistani Proxies or Hindutva Backlash?

By Cernig @ crooksandliars.org

C-Span coverage of the attacks - and Deepak Chopra points out that the War on Terror turns moderates into extremists.

With more than 100 dead and reports of up to 900 injured, the horrific events in Mumbai have now moved into a second day. Attacks by well-armed and organised Moslem terrorists, who targeted UK, US and Israeli nationals in particular and took hostages at top hotels in India's financial capital, have catapulted India's boiling sectarian feuds and regional tensions into the news this Thanksgiving. Some of the most up-to-date reporting can be found at India's NDTV.com.

Given the nature of the attacks - coordinated across several targets simultaneously and using grenades and heavy machine guns as well as assault rifiles, the finger of suspicion was naturally first pointed at Al Qaeda by Western media. More serious conservative analysts are following Indian officials and are blaming Kashmir-related groups like the Lashkar e-Taiba, who were instrumental in carrying out bomb attacks in Mumbai in July 2006 and, very unlike the US right's response in 2006 when protecting Musharraf was high on the neocon agenda, this time even the Weekly Standard is making the connection between the LeK and Pakistan's ISI.

November 27-28, 2008 -- Mumbai attacks part of "Blowback" for CIA double cross

by Wayne Madsen @ waynemadsenreport.com

The violence that is sweeping Mumbai's tourist and business areas is the work of rival Hindu nationalist terrorists and Muslim gangs, according to WMR's Asian intelligence sources. Scores have been killed and hundreds injured in the violence sweeping India's financial capital. Although the "Indian Mujaheddin" and "Al Qaeda in India" are the corporate media's suspects in the violence, the attacks have more to do with score settling and a warning by a CIA asset and Muslim-Hindu gang violence.

The violence began with some crude "dud" bombs being planted around the city. However, these are seen as "false flag" attacks carried out by HIndu nationalist terrorists who support the Hindu Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which hopes to beat the ruling Congress Party in forthcoming elections. The Hindu nationalists often wave the "Muslim terrorist" shirt to win popular support.
