Day 478

 

Actually, today, I was just going through some old memories. Sometimes, it’s necessary to look into the past also. Well, it can be said that sometimes if we look into the past then there are many things pop up in mind. There are few topics on which we can have lengthy discussions and there won’t be any formal conclusions. There will be a lot of theories in the end. Some theories will contradict other theories, some will support each other and few will be independent ones. But we won’t have any final clear conclusion.

We can find a lot of things in our history after independence. There are still few mysteries which aren’t solved till date. With every passing year, a lot of theories are being added but there is no final conclusion. Well, let’s take the example of the assassination of former Prime Minister, Mr Lal Bahadur Shastri. I don’t understand how a current Prime Minister can be assassinated in such a way and there won’t be any formal enquiry about it. As we know that when Mr Shastri died, he was in Tashkent, Russia, for bilateral peace talk with Pakistani dictator. This peace talk was initiated by Russia, which was a strong ally of India. So, it was obvious that Mr Shastri couldn’t refuse it.

All the things were under control. All the peace agreements were signed as per plan. But next day, Mr Shastri was found dead and the reason of death was heart attack. Now, here the suspicion arises. How come he died the very night when he signed the peace treaty? The answer can be that heart attack can come anytime. Okay, this theory is accepted. But later on, Russian authorities conducted their own enquiry and found that Mr Shastri was poisoned. Russian authorities arrested the waiter who served the last meal to Mr Shastri but there wasn’t any further information about that waiter. Second question is that under diplomatic immunity, if a person is travelling on diplomatic passport and he dies in foreign country then the dead body can’t go for autopsy or post mortem. Then how the statement was made that Mr Shastri died due to heart attack?

Well, when his dead body was brought back to India then also there was no post mortem conducted to know the reason of his death. On whose orders or directions this was done? Was this to hide the real reason of the death or was this to hide any conspiracy? Well, it’s being said that all these was done on the instructions of Mrs Indira Gandhi, who wanted to be the Prime Minister of India after her father’s death. But in democratic country, there are few protocols and rules have to be followed. Anyway, it’s true that Mrs Gandhi became Prime Minister after Mr Shastri but was this a murder for the Prime Minister’s post?

It’s obvious that after 1965 war between India and Pakistan, Mr Shastri has gained a lot of respect and popularity and he had become a national hero. But a lot of things can happen in politics. Mrs Gandhi became Prime Minister after Mr Shastri hence it’s still a theory that she was behind all these things but there isn’t any prove till day which can say that indeed Mrs Gandhi was after all these things. It’s true that there was some drift between Mr Shastri and Mrs Gandhi and both of them were on opposite axis in the same party. So, it’s obvious that allegations will made on Mrs Gandhi.

Well, this isn’t the only case in post-independence India. There are a lot of high profile mysterious deaths. Plane crashes of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Dr Homi Jahangir Bhabha and Sanjay Gandhi are still fresh in minds and it’s still highly debatable. It’s still a heated debate that Jawaharlal Nehru was indirectly involved in the alleged plane crash in which Subhas Chandra Bose was travelling. Many people still believe that Subhas Chandra Bose didn’t died in that plan crash and he was present during the Tashkent summit. But there are few people who think that Subhas Chandra Bose died in that plan crash. Actually, there is always conflict of ideologies and there is no final conclusion.

In the case of air crash which led to the death of Dr Homi Jahangir Bhabha is concerned then it’s alleged that it was done by the FBI and CIA. Actually, in India, Dr Bhabha is still respected and is called as the Father of Nuclear Programme in India. Dr Bhabha had already established Atomic Energy Establishment in his life time and he was the director of the Establishment. But during that time, NASA and American authorities didn’t think that India is capable of becoming member of the Elite Space Club. So, it’s rumoured that the plane crash was orchestrated by CIA and FBI to help NASA and to make India a laggard in terms of space programmes. Again there is no direct proves of this and it’s a theory only. But at the end, it’s true that we have really suffered a lot in our space programmes due to death of Dr Bhabha.

Day 477

 

I’m back again. I know this time I’m back within seven days of my last post. Well, I’m taking this as a good sign. This indicates that again my hobby of writing posts on my blog is forcing me to be active again. I’m happy for this.

Actually, this weekend I was busy in net surfing. What else do you expect me to do on a weekend when lockdown is applied and staying indoor is the best option left in front of us. Don’t worry, today I’m not going to discuss about COVID-19 and the Chinese connection with this virus. I know that you all are well aware of the facts. I don’t want to bore you. Now coming back to the point. As I told you that I was doing net surfing I began to watch few videos. This led me to watch espionage series.

It’s obvious that espionage series attracted my attention very much. Like general public, I’m also inclined to the interest that how secret services across the globe works. Secret services and their operations are always classified and they are out of reach of the civilians. It’s necessary also. Otherwise, no secret service agency will survive if it declares all its operations, assets and other details in public domain. Anyway, I watched old cases of CIA, MOSSAD and R&AW.

Those cases attracted my attention very much. I observed that MOSSAD, the Israeli secret service agency, made its name as fearless and one of the best secret service agencies in the world. Whereas R&AW is still managing to make its bone. I watched how MOSSAD killed the assassins of Israeli team during 1972 Olympic Games. This operation went for more than two decades but the file was closed after each and every assassins were closed. It doesn’t matter which party made the government in Israel but this case went on. Likewise, how MOSSAD get to get MiG-21 plane from Iraqi Air Force. How MOSSAD killed the Nazi war criminal who had bad name like Butcher of Rica. There were more cases like this. Few videos were of FBI operations and very less videos were of R&AW.

It’s not like that R&AW is the most secretive agency in the world. On the irony, R&AW is the most neglected secretive agency in the world. Sad part is that even couple of Indian Prime Ministers didn’t approved the very existence of R&AW. It was out of their control otherwise they would have shut down R&AW. Even one of our former ambassador, who later on held the second highest constitutional position of India, was against R&AW. During his regime as ambassador to Iran, he didn’t cared about the kidnapping of R&AW agent, working with the Iranian Embassy. Such is the political willpower of Indian political system towards the sole secret service of the country. An organisation formed to collect the international intelligence is not getting the proper attention from the government.

It’s not like that I’m writing this post under the influence of those videos. But we can’t ignore the fact that FBI, MOSSAD, KGB and MI5 and MI6 are few of elite secret services. Even Pakistan’s ISI has got more power than R&AW. I was analysing few facts between MOSSAD and R&AW. India got independence in 1947 and Israel got independence in 1948. But in present situation, MOSSAD is much better condition than R&AW. Every political party and every Prime Minister of Israel has encouraged MOSSAD to become a better organisation. But we had Morarji Desai and I K Gujral, who got R&AW agents arrested in Pakistan and were eager to cut down the annual budget allocation for R&AW. This is something which is very unfortunate.

A secret service agency which is responsible for collecting international intelligence must be treated accordingly. Actually, it’s very sad to say that still we are much lagging behind in the intelligence area. I think that till date, no central government has given the full credit to the intelligence agencies and its agents. I hope in future the central government will give the proper credit and attention to the intelligence agencies of which the agencies are worth of. Still, there are a lot of secret agents in India for whom patriotism has been always at the top. Government need to give them some more attention to the secret agents.

Day 476

 

Ah! Again too much time has passed since my last post. I don’t know why do the time passes by in such a hurry. It may be because I was busy in my professional life. Hence, I couldn’t get the trace of passing time. But today, I got time for myself. First thing which came in my mind was to post something on my blog. I think the blog has become a neglected part of my life. Sometimes, I think that I have began to lose the interest of writing. Well, this is something which I never thought to happen in my life. I always thought to be posting something on my blog on daily basis. But it’s getting tough now. For days, weeks and months, I’m unable to write anything just because of becoming busy in other aspects of life.

I think this is happening with everyone in today’s world. Everyone has become a bit disoriented from their hobbies or dreams. For me, writing something useful or something interactive was my dream. But unfortunately, I’m unable to fulfil that. Actually, it’s a two way system. Previously, I have written many posts after having detailed study on some particular topics. But again, getting busy with the professional life and handling the pressure has made me going away from writing the post. I won’t blame my professional life for this. After all, the professional life is giving me bread and butter for my survival but its taking a huge cost of sharpening my other skills.

Well Covid-19 virus, commonly known as Corona, gave a break to everyone’s life. Everyone was forced to stay inside their homes. Something which no one had imagined would happen. Complete lockdown of the world was something unimaginable. But yes, it’s a truth that lockdown did happened. Lockdown affected the entire world. It can be said that the whole world was at standstill. Many lives have been lost in this time period. Even now, the death is happening in every corner of the world. Personally, even I have lost two my close relatives in recent past due to corona. Few other deaths were there in my friend circle also. Actually, there had been a series of bad news for me for continuously two weeks when I haven’t heard the bad news of someone dying due to Corona.

Since this deadly virus, travelled the world, entire world pointed out towards China as the origin country of this deadly virus. Everywhere it was the same voice of blaming and cursing China for making such a deadly virus which has taken so much lives till know across the globe. But surprisingly, it has taken minimum lives in China from where it spread across the world. Obviously, my mind is thinking that how could it happen? Why are there so less death rate in the country from where it originated? Till now, you will find the figure of death in China is the lowest in the world.

It’s also leading to some other directions also. Few theories are there which are pointing something bigger. Sometimes, this really force me to think that is corona a biological nuclear weapon of China? Is China trying to weaken its enemies for the dominance on the whole world? In my view, something like this is coming into reality. China has long history of conflicts with its neighbouring countries regarding expansion of Chinese terrorists. Whether it’s international water border with Japan or land international border with India, Bhutan and Myanmar.

In my view, I don’t feel amazed if Corona virus turns into Chinese biological weapon for mass destruction. It’s true that in the past China has tried its military powers to dominate its neighbouring countries but all in vain. India retaliated Chinese army in Dokhlam and in Leh area. So, I think that now China has used Corona virus to see how much damage its biological weapons can do. Time has gone when the war were fought with conventional weapons. With the advancement of science and technologies, the battle ground has changed a lot and hence the rules of battle has also changed. Now nuclear and biological weapons are the new weapons where a country can cause maximum damage to its enemy country with having minimum damage to its own side. This is the reason behind my thinking that China invented Corona and had used it against the entire world.

I may be wrong. Whatever reason maybe there, but it can’t be denied that with passing time, when the vaccine is being created then we are seeing the new version of the corona virus which is more deadly than its previous version. I just wish that this virus comes to its own end before ending any more life.
