<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Actually, I thought to write
this post on 22<sup>nd</sup> January itself, but I was busy whole day in
watching the live broadcast on the television. Indeed, it was a golden day for
all the devotees of Lord Rama. The whole world celebrated the ceremony. I wished
that I would be physically present in Ayodhya. But I’m not worrying about it. Whenever
Lord Rama will call me, I’ll be there in Ayodhya for his blessings.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">But, I don’t know what to say
about the Honorable Chief Minister of Bihar, Mr Nitish Kumar. Initially, he
called all the opposition party leaders to fight against BJP and Mr Narendra
Modi. But now he is running government with the support or say in coalition
with the same BJP, against which he brought all the other opposition parties of
India. I think this is the blessing of Lord Rama to Mr Narendra Modi that opposition
alliance broke down before it planned its strategy to fight against him. Or should
I say that Mr Nitish Kumar is an opportunist. Although, RJD leaders are calling
Mr Nitish Kumar as Paltu Kumar. Media has named him as Kursi Kumar.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I think both names fit for him.
I don’t understand what compulsion Nitish Kumar is having. Since 2005 to 2017,
he was in BJP. Then he joined RJD, then he joined BJP, then he came back to
RJD, and now he came back to BJP. What exactly is going on in his mind? Does he
want to make a world record in taking oath as a Chief Minister? What is his
political ambition? Does he want to be Chief Minister of Bihar until he dies? What
is or are the reason(s) due to which he is switching sides? Well, I don’t have
any answer to these questions. I know that Mr Nitish Kumar isn’t going to
answer these questions because he is busy in making his political career as
Chief Minister only?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p>sumit sinhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063851648507736722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327865748333674754.post-90618521903293498932023-11-29T12:20:00.000+05:302023-11-29T12:20:24.759+05:30Day 495<p> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 16pt;">I wonder what to write today.
In my last post, I wrote about the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup. I was very
hopeful and enthuastic about India’s winning this time. It was my expectation
that India will face Australia in the final. Actually, it was repetition of the
2003 edition of the same tournament. In the last 20 years, Indian cricket has
changed a lot. So, I was hopeful that this time, Indian team will be victorious
over Australia and will lift the world cup.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 16pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">But my dreams were shattered.
Australian team showed excellent fielding and bowling skills and when it came
to batting they outshined every other thing. Well, this wasn’t in my
expectations. I admit that I was really hurt to see the downfall of the Indian
batting line in the way it did. But I was expecting that our fielding and
bowling has been of top quality in the entire tournament. I was hopeful that
our bowlers will do the miracle and will restrict the Australian team. But
unfortunately, 2023 World Cup final truly turned to be replica of 2003 World
Cup final.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 16pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Like every Indian, I’m still
unable to come over from the shock that we got on 19 November 2023. Actually,
as I said, Indian cricket team played very well and every department was doing excellent
work. Including the finals, Indian cricket team played total 11 matches in
which they won 10 matches. Every player put their maximum effort in the
tournament that’s why they were undefeated in the entire tournament.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 16pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">But don’t know what happened
in the final match? Where we lacked? What were the things which stopped us from
being the victorious in the finals? Well, its time to think again that where we
have lacked. How the undefeated team faced the defeat in the most important
match? I don’t know that when will I be able to see Indian cricket team wining
the world cup again?<o:p></o:p></span></p>sumit sinhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063851648507736722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327865748333674754.post-32922807265856799312023-11-09T14:02:00.002+05:302023-11-09T14:02:22.398+05:30Day 494<p> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 16pt;">I know it has been a long time since my
last post. I think it's about nine and a half months. Time indeed heals all
the sorrow and wounds but it's also true that sometimes time gives sorrow and
wounds which aren’t meant for recovery. That’s why in these nine and half months
I didn’t write a single word despite having tons of topics to write about.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 16pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Well, I was thinking about the right topic
to start writing again. I was brainstorming about where to start from.
Suddenly, I realized that in India for the last month, crazy with the
ongoing Men’s Cricket World Cup. Actually, it’s the first time that India is
the solo host of the entire World Cup. Previously, in 1987, the Cricket World Cup
was co-hosted by India and Pakistan and again in 1996, India, Pakistan, and Sri
Lanka were the host. This trend was followed in 2011 when India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh jointly hosted the World Cup. But this time, all the matches are
being held in different stadiums across the length and breadth of India.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 16pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Every edition of the Cricket World Cup is
different from its previous version. But in all the versions, the energy amongst
the viewers and fans of the respective teams reaches its peak when the team
wins or is on the verge of winning. But in the last edition of the Cricket World
Cup, according to me, everything was perfect until the last moment. Whatever
happened at the end of the Final match in the 2019 Cricket World Cup wasn’t logical
or fair. At least, I think so. I don’t know what logic was used to declare
England as the winner based on hitting more boundaries than New Zealand.
If no final result came out, then the same match would have commenced the
following day with a fresh start.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 16pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I don’t understand why ICC didn’t pay
attention to this option. Now I think that the mistake committed four years ago
is irreversible and it will be remembered as a mistake in the future.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 16pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">But the way the Indian Cricket team is
playing right now is making me very proud. I think this is the sentiment of
every Indian with the performance of the Indian team in the current situation. I’m
very hopeful that this time once again, the World Cup will be ours for the
third time. But still, we have one more league match left before the Semi-Final.
Then we have the semi-final before the Final. Then the Final is the last stop. So,
in total, we have three more matches to win before laying our hands on the
World Cup.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 16pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">As I said I’m very much hopeful that
the cup will be ours, so I’m wishing the Indian team will be victorious in all
the coming three matches. However, only the Pakistani Cricket Board is crying about
the defeat they got from the Indian team. I think that’s nothing new for any
cricket lover. Actually, the Pakistani Cricket Board and Pakistani Cricket team can’t
digest the defeat they always get from the Indian Cricket team. I think they do
it deliberately to gain some limelight. But that doesn’t matter.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 16pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The thing that matters right now is that
the Indian team has to continue with its current form. The Indian batting order is
well-balanced and the Indian bowling line has become a nightmare for the opponent
teams. In the current World Cup series, other teams have scored well. Few of
them have scored pretty high scores, and some run chases have been quite an exciting and nail-biting experience for me. But when those teams have played
against India, their batting lineup has surrendered in front of the Indian bowling
line like a house of cards getting blown up against the wind.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 16pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Anyway, I can say now that it's time to dream
and wish again to have the World Cup in our hands for the third time. With this
good wish, I’m ending today’s post. Keep watching the World Cup and keep
backing up the Indian Cricket team.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I never thought that one day I’ll sit down
and write this obituary. Well, since, my last post, I was busy in managing the
day to day requirement of my business. Every day, I was learning new things. The
things which weren’t taught at my B School during my PGDM course. Several times,
I got good ideas to write about but sometimes due to delay in writing or due to
some other reasons, every time I have delayed my writing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Time was also passing with its pace. I never
thought with this due course of time, I’ll see the thing which I never imagined.
Not in my wildest dreams. I lost my mother on January 16,2023. Still, I’m
unable to believe this. I spend my entire day on 15 January with her. I was
sitting in her bedroom while she had her lunch and afternoon nap. She told me
to prepare tomato soup for her which I did. During extreme cold days, she loved
to have hot cup of tomato soups. She was not showing any signs which indicated
towards any abnormal thing. Although she was patient of Asthma. She was having
numerilising machine and asthma pump with her in the bedroom along with oxygen cylinder.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">She had evening tea with us. She was
talking and laughing with all of us like normal days. She had dinner at the
proper time also. But after 1 o’clock in night, daddy called us. We rushed to
her bedroom. We began to pump her chest. But she wasn’t responding. We called
the ambulance but the time we reached the ambulance, the doctor declared her
brought dead. It came as a shock to us. None of us could believe this. But we
were helpless. We couldn’t do anything. Few hours back, she was alive. Talking,
laughing, scolding me. But now she was still and inactive. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Every time, I feel that she is still there.
Every corner of the house reminds me of her. For me, she will always be there. Whenever
I used to leave the house to come for work and the time I used to return, she
used to sit in her chair. Sometimes, she used to call me when I was at work and
told me to bring few household things. Since, she had left us, today is the day
I have come to the work. But still, my attention is at my home. I don’t know
how I’ll face myself after returning home.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Few times, I used to leave the house for
work when she used to be worshipping God. So, today, also I felt that she is
busy in doing that. But after coming to work, a sense of loneliness covered me
up. It was like daily routine to see her waiting for me after returning home. Although,
I have never cried in front of daddy but when I’m alone I can’t control my
tears. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Mummy, I know you are watching me. Please
come back. I’m missing you. <o:p></o:p></span></p>sumit sinhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063851648507736722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327865748333674754.post-54744654565533550302022-10-13T13:15:00.001+05:302022-10-13T13:15:29.792+05:30Day 492<p> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Ah! It has been a long time since I wrote
my last blog. Actually, I was having lots of ideas to write upon. But I was in dilemma
about choosing the right topic to write. Well, some of them were about the
current affairs but I was afraid that I may write my feelings and may be I’ll
get a notice from the blogging community for violating the community guidelines.
So, I thought to drop those topics. Actually, telling and stating against the
current Prime Minister or the current central government has become the freedom
of expression and saying anything in favour has become violation of that
freedom. So, its wise to choose the middle path where no violation takes place.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I know my last statement had forced you to
think that may be I have become a blind follower (Andha Bhakt) or I’m going to
defend the current central government on any issue. But its not like that. I’m
not going to do that. Because I don’t think that its needed. Well, I think that
after May,2014, many new words have come forward like communilasm, secularisim
in danger, Andha Bhakt, Intollerence in India, anti muslims and pro hindu and
many other things have came in our daily life. Previously, there wasn’t anything
like that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I differ here here from those who thinks
like that. Actually, I believe that everything happens according to the time. If
a incidence is pre planned to happen at certain time, then that incidence will
happen at that particular time only. Lets take Mr Narendra Modi as an example. During
the 2014, Lok Sabha elections, Congress party was sure that Mr Modi wont become
the Prime Minister although Mr Modi was projected face of the Prime Ministrial
candidate by the BJP. I still remember that senior Congress party leader, Mr Mani
Shanker Aiyyer, had stated that Mr Modi won’t become Prime Minister as BJP wont
get the majority. Mr Aiyyer invited Mr Modi to Congress headquarters to sell
tea. But the reality is in front of all of us.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Mr Aiyyer went to Pakistan with a delegation
of the Congress party. While giving interview to a Pakistani news channel, Mr
Aiyyer asked support from the Pakistani people to dethrone Mr Modi. Pakistani anchor
made fun of Mr Aiyyer by saying that its internal democratic problem of India
and Pakistan couldn’t do anything. This proves that how much Congress party and
its leaders were scared of Mr Modi. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Now lets take example of provocation of
Article 370 and Shaheen Bagh protest against CAA, NRC and NPR. CAA, NRC and NPR
were introduced to identify the illegal immigrants and the natural residents of
the country. But Congress party named it as communal conspiracy against muslims
which resulted in protest by muslim women for four months. Like wise the same
thing happened in name of anti farmer bills protest. We witnessed the disrespect
of national flag on 15 August 2021. It was done just to create a situation of
communal disharmony and maybe in riots. But luckily none of these things
happened. We have been told that Article 370 was introduced in Jammu and
Kashmir for creating a normalcy in the valley and Mr Jawahar Lal Nehru was in
mood to withdraw it after normalcy would be restored in the valley but it didn’t
happened till 5 August 2019. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Actually, article 370 was been used as a
political tool to gain political ambition of different political parties from
time to time. There are many intellectuals who claim to be in favour of article
370. I just wanted to know few things. Why the Kashmiri youth was forbidden
from marrying with people from other parts of India? Why was that Kashmiri youth
will be barred from all the freedoms which Article 370 gave them if they marry
other Indians? Why they were allowed to marry Pakistani nationals only? Why their
Pakistani spouces were given more special treatment in comparison with Indian spouces?
Was Article 370 signed for political merge in Republic of India against the
invasion of Pakistan or to encourage the cultural ties with Pakistan and
discourage the cultural ties with India? If no then why there was opposition of
Article 370 for so many years? Actually, these things have always made me worried.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">At the time of joining the Republic of India
after partition, many princely states were allowed to have private purse and it
was tax free. But in the regime of Mrs Indira Gandhi private purse system was
abolished and earning of all those princely states were brought under the tax
system of India then why wasn’t Article 370 abolished at that time? It was
during the tenure of Mrs Indira Gandhi that the national emergency was imposed
on the country for 21 months. All the opposition leaders were sent to various
jails in the country but still Mr Narendra Modi is called a mad dictator by the
Congress party leaders.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Well, I didn’t have this topic in my mind
when I started writing. But in the flow it just happened. Or you can say that
it just happened with due coarse of time while writing. <o:p></o:p></span></p>sumit sinhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063851648507736722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327865748333674754.post-67548539789831678642022-08-15T13:11:00.002+05:302022-08-15T13:11:32.270+05:30HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY<p> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 25.0pt; line-height: 107%;">HAPPY INDEPENDECE DAY</span></b><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Actually, in today’s time, a 23 years young
boy is busy on social networking sites in search of a decent girl friend with
whom he can fall in love. But Bhagat Singh fall in love for India and he was
hanged till death when he was just 23. So, this is the change of mentality due
to which I think we can’t repay even a fraction of 1 per cent of the debt which
we have. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Batra, Major Mohit Sharma are few names who were young and felt in love for the

holiday to enjoy. It’s a time of the year when we have to pay tributes to our
brave soldiers who aren’t at their homes just to make sure that we are safe at
our homes. I know you people are intelligent enough to make a rational
difference between just enjoying the holiday and to pay tribute to the brave
soldiers who are still standing at the national borders for us.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

than three months from writing. Believe me, this time this absent from writing
was intentional. I was having time and topic to write. But I wanted to have
time for refining the content for the proper presentation. Actually, I was
afraid that I don’t violate any guideline. Well, I’m scared of violating any
guideline.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 16pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">But I think there should be some guideline
for Mr Nitish Kumar. I think that either he is in deep love for the chair of
Chief Ministership or he wants to create a world record for taking maximum
swear in for Chief Ministership. Actually, in the last 22 years, yesterday he took
oath for the post of Chief Minister for eight time. Actually, I’m totally
surprised by his action which he took Monday. He was having majority in the
Bihar Legislative Assembly in alliance with Bhartiya Janta Party. But he
ditched Bhartiya Janta Party and joined hands with Rashtriya Janta Dal and the
Congress Party. I admit that now Mr Nitish Kumar has more number of seats in
the Legislative Assembly but one thing is unclear to me.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 16pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">In 2015, Bihar Assembly elections, Mr
Nitish Kumar was having the same coalition with Rashtriya Janta Dal and the
Congress Party along with Communist parties and few smaller political parties.
Then also, he had quite a bigger number of seats in the state assembly but in
2017, Mr Nitish Kumar ditched RJD and Congress and joined hands with BJP. After
5 years, he had taken a U turn. This is totally confusing thing for me. I don’t
understand that what do Mr Nitish Kumar want to do with switching the
alliances. In both alliances, he was the Chief Minister. I think something
sinister is going in his mind. Otherwise, I don’t think that there will be any
reason for him to switch alliances.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">As far as I have deduced by his actions,
Mr Nitish Kumar’s decision to break off with the BJP and going with the
alliance with the RJD is nothing more than political suicide. Many people are
thinking that this is some kind of joke which Mr Nitish Kumar is doing. I think
that he doesn’t want to be the next Chief Minister again. Switching alliances
so soon has made him laughing stock in the state.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Till now, I used to think that Mr Nitish
Kumar to be a person who doesn’t compromises on his principles for any post but
now he has proved me wrong. For the last 17 years, he had always become Chief
Minister while having alliance with BJP. But in 2015, he left NDA but again in
2017, he came back to NDA and now again he had left NDA. I’m waiting for anyone
who can explain me the logic behind Mr Nitish Kumar’s sudden decision to quit
NDA on Monday and quitting as Chief Minister and on Tuesday he took the oath of
Chief Minister after having coalition with RJD and Congress.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 16pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I don’t know what to write next? Still I’m
shocked after watching the last two days in the Bihar political situation. This
shows that oncoming time will have many twists and turns which will affect the
political environment in Delhi also. I think right now its time to wait and
watch.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

historical facts a bit. Actually, since I wrote my last post, an urge of
exploring more historical things has increased in me. Well, Indian history is
full of many facts and rumours. I think there are many rumours and stories
being spread to hide few facts. Just like I wrote in my last post about the
possible treasure at Jaigarh Fort. Till date, its very unclear about the
outcome of the raid conducted by the Income tax department along with police
and army. Movement of heavy trucks on the national highway from Jaipur to New
Delhi is also unexplainable. Anyway, I don’t want to continue the last post.
Today, I’m going to write on some new historical fact.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Indian history is full of invasions. From
time to time, many foreign invaders have invaded India. It’s a long list of
invaders. Few of them, stayed here and became ruler of India. Rest of them had
looted India and have take numerous treasures back with them. One of those
invaders who looted India was Bakhtiyar Khilji. Bakhtiyar Khilji attacked
Nalanda in 1193 A.D. and it resulted in gruesome massacre and destruction of
its library. Actually, Nalanda was a seat of knowledge. It was known as Nalanda
Mahavira or Nalanda University. Actually, Mahavira means Buddhist monetary
where a teacher teaches his students. According to Chinese traveller, Hieun
Tsang, who came to India in 7<sup>th</sup> century, in Nalanda Mahavira there
were 10,000 monks and 1510 teachers. At that time, mathematics, grammar, Buddhism,
philosophy, astronomy were the subjects which were been taught at Nalanda. No
fees were been collected from the students studying here.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Here a question arises that why did
Bakhtiyar Khilji attacked Nalanda University? Neither it was a seat of power
nor it was a place to save any treasure. This is the thing which is out of my
understanding. It’s said that Bakhtiyar Khilji ordered to burn the library of
Nalanda University. Its also said that the entire library took three months to
get completely burned. Its also said that the library was the biggest library
in the world at that time and around 90,000 books were stored in that library.
As we know that Buddhism has always followed the principle of non-violence.
Still, on the order of Bakhtiyar Khilji, his army killed Buddhist monks and
other students staying at Nalanda University. <span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It’s said that students from China,
Turkey, Persia, Korea, Japan and Sri Lanka used to come to Nalanda to study.
But its so sad to know that Bakhtiyar Khilji ordered destruction of a centre of
knowledge. In my view, it’s the most condemnable attack. I don’t think this to
be a bravery act which is showed in the battle field. In this attack, at one
side, ruthless and cruel invaders loaded with weapons were there against
unarmed Buddhist monks and students. This invasion couldn’t be named as
invasion because whenever there is an invasion then it’s considered that both
sides had armies. But in case of Nalanda invasion, only Khilji had an army.
Actually, in my view, this should be a barbaric act of Khilji but
unfortunately, in history books, its known as Khilji invasion of Nalanda. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Well, there is a story behind this cruel
attack of Khilji over Nalanda. It’s said that Khilji was very ill at one point
of time. He was under the care of his personal physicians and he took a lot of
medicines but there wasn’t any improvement in his health. With due passage of
time, it got detoriated. Then Khilji was suggested to get treatment from Rahul
Sri Bhadra, the principal of Nalanda Mahavira at that time. It’s said that
Khilji wasn’t ready to get treatment from any non-Muslim physician. Initially,
Khilji refused the suggestion of getting treatment from Rahul Sri Bhadra. But
his health got more detoriated. At last, he agreed. Rahul Sri Bhadra was called
and he examined Khilji. After the physical examination, Khilji put his
condition that Khilji won’t have any medicine given by Rahul Sri Bhadra.
Actually, the reason behind this condition was that Khilji wanted to test Rahul
Sri Bhadra and Khilji humiliated the knowledge of Hindus as he thought that Hindus
weren’t intellectual like Muslims. Rahul Sri Bhadra agreed to this condition of
Khilji and he told Khilji that he won’t give him any medicine. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Rahul Sri Bhadra gave a copy of Quran to
Khilji and told him to read few pages of Quran every day. Within a month,
Khilji’s health improved. He was surprised that how he got healthy. Then it was
revealed that Rahul Sri Bhadra had medicated the pages of Quran and hence the
medicine had reached Khilji. Khilji was surprised to know this. He felt
jealousy and insecurity that how a non-Muslim is more intelligent and
intellectual than his Muslim scholars and physicians. To take revenge of this,
Khilji decided to destroy the source of that knowledge which made Rahul Sri
Bhadra such knowledgeable. Well, the library of Nalanda University was the
source of knowledge of Rahul Sri Bhadra and many scholars like him and the
scholars living in Nalanda University. Nalanda University had world’s largest
library at that point of time. It was known as Dharamganj. Dharamganj comprised
of three multistorey buildings. It’s said that the library had the collection
of about 90 lakhs books. So, just to take revenge, Khilji decided to attack
Nalanda University to destroy everything there.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Khilji’s army brutally massacred the monks
and scholars residing at the university. Many scholars are believed to be
burned alive. Khilji didn’t stopped here. He ordered to burn the entire library
of the Nalanda University. It’s said that library took three months to
completely burn down. Many manuscripts were in the original form. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Well, I think the attack of Nalanda by
Khilji is nothing else but a personal ego issue. According to Khilji, non-Muslims
weren’t equal to Muslims, forget being more knowledgeable or experienced. If
this wasn’t the case, then why would he order the attack on Nalanda University?
It was a place of learning, where Buddhist monks and scholars were staying with
students. Nalanda University wasn’t a military school where army warfare was
taught. It was a centre of knowledge, philosophy and religious studies. What type
of bravery did Khilji showed by killing unarmed scholars and students?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The gruesome massacre at Nalanda was just
a personal revenge of Khilji against non-Muslims. It was nothing more than
egoistic win of Khilji. This is what I believe. But in our history text books,
Khilji is portrayed as a glorified invader who invaded India and took its
treasure with him. But the true history behind the Nalanda attack by Khilji isn’t
mentioned in any history books. Irony is that a railway station in Bihar has
been named in Khilji’s honour as Bhaktiyarpur Junction. To visit the ruins of
the Nalanda University, one has to deboard the train at this Junction. Isn’t it
sad that we are still using the name of a brutal, cruel invader for naming the
railway station? I feel very sad. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>sumit sinhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063851648507736722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327865748333674754.post-41719454936147674842022-04-22T12:03:00.003+05:302022-04-22T12:03:32.414+05:30Day 489<p> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I know that there has been a gap since I
wrote my last post. Actually, I wasn’t having idea to write about. So, I spent
my time in my business and doing some research work. Actually, there are few
facts in our Indian history that aren’t taught in our school text books. Well,
I was going through a series of videos which were about Rajputana kingdoms.
Now, it’s known to all of us that all the Rajputana kingdoms have been merged
in Union of India by Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel after partition. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But one video caught my attention. The
video was about Jaigarh Fort and its alleged connection with Indira Gandhi and
Sanjay Gandhi. Jaigarh Fort was built by Raja Sawai Jai Singh II in 1726 in
Jaipur. It was built just 15 kms from Jaipur. It’s also said that this fort was
built for the protection of Amer Fort and Nahargarh Fort. It can be said that
it was like a security post for Amer Fort that’s why Jaigarh Fort is 400 meters
high from Amer Fort. But the main interesting fact which is related with
Nahargarh Fort is the use of military power by Indian government during
Emergency rule. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It’s true that Rajputana kingdoms had made
a lot of forts in Rajasthan during their time periods. Many of them have
perished with due course of time and few are still telling us the glorious history
of the Rajputana kings and their times. But I think Jaigarh Fort is one of the
mysterious Forts in India. Well, it’s a known fact that Raja Man Singh I was
brother of Jodha Bai. We all know that Jodha Bai was wife of Mughal emperor,
Akbar. So, in this way, Raja Man Singh I and Akbar were related to each other.
Akbar always believed the military skills of Raja Man Singh I. So; it was
obvious that Raja Man Singh I became one of the generals in Akbar’s army. It
was said that Raja Man Singh I never got defeated in any battle. So, wherever
Raja Man Singh I won the battle, that area came under Mughal control.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Now comes the interesting historic fact. I
can’t say it to be fully true. It’s because this historic fact gave the birth
to a mystery which is unsolved till date. Well, in 1581, Akbar sent Raja Man
Singh I to Afghanistan tribes because Akbar wished to conquer Afghanistan also.
Raja Man Singh I went to Afghanistan and fought with the local tribes and
conquered them. It is said that he looted tons of gold and treasure from those
tribes. But he didn’t tell anything about this treasure to Akbar. No one except
Raja Man Singh I and his army knew about this treasure. The treasure was
supposed to be buried in Amer Fort by Raja Man Singh I. with the passage of
time, this treasure remained hidden from the world. But the rumour about the
treasure never died. After Mughals, British government was ruling the Indian sub-continent.
At that time also, Amer Fort and Jaigarh Fort were thoroughly searched. But Britisher
were empty handed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Now let’s come to the modern Indian
history. In 1975, Raja Man Singh II was the king and his wife, Mrs Gayatri Devi
was the queen. At that time, Indira Gandhi was the Prime Minister of India.
Although, Gayatri Devi and Indira Gandhi had studied together in Shanti Niketan
established by Rabindra Nath Tagore. But both of them never had normal
relations with each other. In 1962, Gayatri Devi defeated Congress candidate
Sharda Devi for Jaipur seat of Lok Sabha. Gayatri Devi was very popular amongst
her masses. On the other hand, Indira Gandhi never supported the system of
princely privileges been given to the former princely states who signed the treaty
to be merged with Union of India. We all know that Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel
has given these privileges to all the princely states while signing the merger
treaty with Union of India. But Indira Gandhi was never happy with Privy Purse
enjoyed by these Princely States. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Actually, Privy Purse referred to an
amount being given by the Indian government to the royal families of the
erstwhile princely states. Well, the amount was paid to the royal families in
exchange of giving their rights of ruling. The amount varied from state to
state. But the amount was given by the Indian government which was bearing a
burden on exchequer. So, in 1971, Indira Gandhi passed 26<sup>th</sup>
Amendment to the Constitution of India, which totally abolished the Privy
Purse. After abolition of Privy Purse, all the erstwhile ruler families became
common men in India. There were legal cases against this amendment but there
wasn’t much effect of that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">After that, came the Emergency period in
India. Although, the legends of Jaigarh Ford never died and with passage of
time it carried on. Even Indira Gandhi was aware of this legend. Emergency rule
gave unchecked authorities to Indira Gandhi. During Emergency, she locked up
almost entire opposition leaders in different prisons across the country. In
this time, Gayatri Devi was locked up in Tihar prison in Delhi. So, it was a
nice opportunity to start the treasure hunt at Jaigarh Fort. In 1976, a joint
team of income tax officers along with local police and a unit of army raided
the Jaigarh Fort and started excavation. Questions were raised about raiding
Jaigarh Fort because the legendary treasure was supposed to be in Amer Fort.
The logic behind this raid was that Amer Fort and Jaigarh Fort were connected
by a tunnel. But during the raid, Jaigarh Fort was totally ransacked. Emergency
was in force and local curfew was imposed near Jaigarh Fort to prevent the
spread the news of the raid.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But it’s a rumour that the national highway
connecting Jaipur to Delhi was closed for a day for normal traffic. Its also
rumoured that a large convey of military trucks were seen on the national
highway from Jaipur to New Delhi. But there is solid evidence to prove these
rumours. Actually, still there are a lot of questions regarding the treasure of
Raja Man Singh I. Indira Gandhi made a public statement that only 230 kg of
silver and silver artifacts were recovered from the Jaigarh Fort. Then where
the remaining tons of gold and jewellery went? Why Military unit was used for a
raid of Income tax officials? Police force was enough to supervise the raid and
evacuation of the treasure. Mystery still continues to embraces the treasure of
Raja Man Singh I. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Well, till date no one knows where the
treasure is lying. A theory says that a large amount of the treasure was used
to build Jaipur city. Second theory says that the recovered treasure was sent
to Switzerland by airplanes. Actually, Switzerland banks are famous for keeping
the black money of the political leaders worldwide. But what is the truth is
still a mystery.<o:p></o:p></span></p>sumit sinhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063851648507736722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327865748333674754.post-21239370825825494632022-04-15T19:28:00.003+05:302022-04-15T19:28:35.939+05:30Day 488 <p> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I know there has been a gap again since my
last post. Well, I was doing some research work for my post so it took some
time. But when I finally decided to write the post, I lost the interest in the
topic. Well, this has happened with me for the first time since I have started
writing post on the blog. I always try to have some basic research about the
facts and figures on which I want to write. This time also, I did the same. But
unfortunately, I lost the interest in that. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">So, finally, I decided to write something
extempore. Actually, writing extempore is something which doesn’t requires any
research. Its totally on your mood about what to write and how to write. I think
that extempore method makes your brain to work more. In little time, with
limited time and words, one has to present the maximum output. But I get stuck
when after a point, all the ideas get exhausted while writing. Actually, this
is the factor which doesn’t allow me to continue further while writing a post
when I decide to have extempore writing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Today, I was thinking to give the final
touch to the topic which was in my mind. But don’t know why, I deleted all the
things and started afresh. It can be said that I wasn’t satisfied with the entire
work so I just deleted the entire writing. It’s true that I took time and put
some effort to make my post enjoyable for my readers but when I don’t feel satisfied
then I don’t hesitate in deleting the work. It doesn’t matter about how much
time and energy I have put in writing. The thing which matters the most to me
is that it should be enjoyable to my readers. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">You can say that this is the reason due to
which I take time in doing research and analysis. In addition to this, the
whole presentation should be enjoyable to the readers. If any of these criteria
is missing then I don’t post it. I don’t hesitate in deleting the entire post. But
I don’t think that you people care a little bit. Actually, I have written
several times asking for feedback. Unfortunately, I haven’t received any
feedback yet. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Frankly speaking, I don’t need any
flattering feedback. I admire that feedback which will indicate about like or
dislike of content, writing and facts. Till yet, I haven’t received any such
feedback. But I haven’t lost the hope. One day, I’ll start having comments. Actually,
feedbacks are like direction pointers.

days since I last wrote my post. Well, this time was taken just because I was
doing some analysis. I know I wrote about Sri Lankan crisis. Actually, I was
doing detail research about this crisis. So, this is the explanation about my
being absent from writing the post.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In the last post, I wrote that how
gradually with time, China has increased its debt trap in Sri Lanka. There were
many economic deals made between both the countries but only China is gaining
much from those deals and Sri Lanka is going downwards. I wonder how Sri Lankan
government failed to see this basic thing that China is going to exploit Sri
Lanka economically? Is it a sign of economic slavery for Sri Lanka? Is China
going to rule Sri Lanka economically in future? I’m afraid that it’s also
possible that Sri Lanka can be used against India in future. Who knows what are
the real intentions of China? But I’m afraid that China will make its military
and naval base in Sri Lanka against India? Geographically speaking, Sri Lanka,
Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal are other neighbouring countries of India along
with China. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">China had already invaded Pakistan in name
of CPEC (China Pakistan Economic Corridor). Although, the progress of CPEC is
negligible today but it can be used against India. Sri Lanka is in same
scenario. Actually, I’m taking you all in not so far in past. Well, after 1962 Indo
– Chinese war, when Chinese military invaded Indian territory, I think Chinese hunger
for encroaching neighbouring countries territories and including those territories
into its own has increased. Maybe, this is the reason why China is investing
heavily in economically weak countries like Pakistan and Sri Lanka. India has
always been a huge market for China so instead of giving debts to India, China
has always created products according to the Indian market. But, since, Mr
Narendra Modi became Indian Prime Minister and he requested Indians to boycott Chinese
products then the demand of Chinese products have gone down resulting loss for Chinese
companies in thousands of crores. This had shaken the Chinese economy to an extent.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Hambantota port has become exclusive port
for Chinese products in Sri Lanka. All the Chinese consignments unloaded at
this port is exempted from the taxes by the Sri Lankan government. This means
Sri Lanka government can’t have a single penny from the products arriving or leaving
Hambantota port but Chinese government will have full profit from the sell or
transfer of goods from this port. I’m unable to understand why Sri Lankan
government agreed to such a one directional agreement? According to me, there
may be two reasons behind this. Either Sri Lankan government officials or
ministers got big cheque from China or Sri Lankan government gave Hambantota
port to China in exchange of some default payments. I don’t know what’s the
real truth behind this. But it was said that Hambantota port could be used as a
military base. There was protest against this in Sri Lanka. Officially, India
and America raised their concerns about the Chinese interference in Hambantota
port which could result in clash of interest between China with India and America.
Sri Lankan government transferred 85 per cent of assets of Hambantota port to
the Chinese company along with giving the port on lease for 99 years. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Actually, borrowing from China to repay
old debts became headache for Sri Lankan government. Instead of gaining from
the investment, Sri Lankan government got more trapped in the Chinese dept. Hence,
the present situation is the result of all the mistakes like Hambantota port. People
don’t have much options left to them. Today, Sri Lanka is facing acute shortage
of fuel, food, electricity, gas cylinder, medicine and milk. People are forced
to wait in long queues for these basic commodities. In a civilised society, its
hard to imagine to live in 13 hours non supply of electricity in a day. Due to
shortage of fuel, Sri Lankan army has been deployed at every fuel station. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Actually, I was really shocked when I came
to know that one kilo of rice is costing about 200 Sri Lankan rupees. Likewise,
400 ml milk is 800 Sri Lankan rupees and a gas cylinder used for cooking is
costing 4200 Sri Lankan rupees. Its hard to imagine the life with such high
prices for the essential products. Survival has become the toughest problem
there. Situation like this will definitely lead to the revolt from the public. Although,
Sri Lankan President has imposed national emergency to stop the suspected
protest from the public again. Previously, one public protest has taken place
which resulted in imposing curfew along with the national emergency. Later on,
curfew was removed by the government. I think its clear that ban on the social
media comes along with the emergency. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I just hope that soon the Sri Lankan
government will come with some solution. I think asking for bail out from the
international community is the only option left in front of them. But they have
to be cautious with the Chinese help in future. Actually, China’s debt has
already become a huge headache for Sri Lanka. I just hope that the Sri Lankan
government doesn’t repeat its past mistake. Sri Lankan government has to
formulate a plan for getting out of this economic crisis. It will take time but
it has to do something. Actually, Sri Lanka’s dependency on imported items had
made the situation a bit more complex. So, keeping these things in mind a new
road map has to be formulated. <o:p></o:p></span></p>sumit sinhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063851648507736722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327865748333674754.post-64154567356810712032022-04-06T20:01:00.003+05:302022-04-14T12:29:04.404+05:30Day 486<p> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In my last post, I wrote about the
situation in Chinese economic invasion in Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Actually,
Chinese government has taken full advantage of political differences between India
and Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Actually, the rivalry between India and Pakistan is
world known. India has always proved that Pakistan is the heaven for all the
terrorists operating against India as well as to the most wanted criminals of India.
I don’t want to write more on that because you are aware of that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Actually, relation with Sri Lanka has
always been sweet and bitter with the time line. But after the LTTE issue, the
friendly relation between India and Sri Lanka has somewhat become sour. This
started in 1980s when the political difference between India and Sri Lanka
started to have a downfall. Visit of Indian Prime Minister, Mr Rajiv Gandhi, in
1989 was to restore normalcy between both countries. But the attack on Indian
Prime Minister during the guard of honour was the prove of dislike amongst the
Sri Lanka people. Actually, this all was due to LTTE. The fight between Sri
Lankan Tamils and Indian Tamils has always been a bloody clash between the two
groups. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Well, China started using advantage of this
political difference between India and Sri Lanka. China started helping Sri
Lanka in constructing bridges, highways, railways, ports, airports and various
other infrastructure projects. I wonder how does the Sri Lankan politicians
ignored the simple fact that whatever project China was financing in Sri Lanka
was for economic profit for China only and not for Sri Lanka. Today, the
situation has arisen that there is no much employment for the native Sri Lankan
in all these projects where as China is earning millions of dollars while just
investing in these projects. I don’t think that all this would have happened
until the ruling leaders of Sri Lanka were highly misguided or were heavily
bribed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Actually, I was watching news channels and
suddenly I stopped to a news channel. The reporter was showing the current
situation in Colombo. There was long queue for the cooking gas cylinders and
the price of one LPG gas cylinders was 2650 Sri Lankan currency. I was shocked
to hear the price. Then in the next clip, the reporter showed the coverage in
night. It was hard to differentiate because no street lights were turned on. At
the petrol pumps, long queues were again visible for petrol and diesel. In short,
everywhere the situation was the same. People have to struggle for the basic
things while high rise in prices have forced them to starve now. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">How this situation arose suddenly? What made
Sri Lankan government to bow down before China? Why China infiltrated Sri Lanka
so deeply economically? Well, these are the things which are coming into my
mind again and again. At one side, China got huge liberal duty exemptions from
infrastructure projects and on the other side local people of Sri Lanka weren’t
getting much employment neither Chinese investment were giving any chance of
foreign revenue generation. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">At the current situation, all the 26 ministers
have resigned from the cabinet ministry. This proves that political leaders
have simply gave up from their duties. I think not only China is to be blamed
for the current scenario in Sri Lanka. Actually, I think while China was
expanding its economic wings in Sri Lanka then the political bosses sitting in
power gallery of Colombo must have enjoyed huge economic benefits. Well, I don’t
hesitate in saying that ten percent blame goes to the Sri Lanka government
also. without getting permission from the Sri Lanka government, China couldn’t have
gained so much control in Hambantota port and Colombo port city project. <o:p></o:p></span></p>sumit sinhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063851648507736722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327865748333674754.post-37011514465630886072022-04-05T19:58:00.004+05:302022-04-14T12:28:51.715+05:30Day 485<p> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I know that I have been absent again for
couple of days. Well, I was busy in setting my new business. Anyway, I thought
to write something today. But what to write was again the main issue. Actually,
a lot of things are happening in our neighbouring countries. Well, the
situation of both the neighbouring countries is almost similar and the cause of
their current situation is exactly the same. Yes, I’m talking about Pakistan
and Sri Lanka.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As you all know that Pakistani Prime
Minister, Imran Khan, had dissolved the Pakistani parliament ahead of the
voting for No Confidence motion against his government. In my view, this is a
strategic move been made by Imran Khan to save his government and to have
general election once again so that he can come to power again. But the
opposition parties in Pakistan are going to their supreme court against this
move of Imran Khan. Actually, the reason for this No Confidence motion against
Imran Khan government is increasing inflation, increasing foreign debts on
Pakistan, closure of China Pakistan Economic Corridor, not receiving funds from
American administration and various other things. According to media reports,
Imran Khan still thinks that he has got some popularity amongst Pakistani
voters which is sufficient for him to get back into power. I don’t know how
much is it true or what’s there in mind of Imran Khan? Actually, I’m least
bothered about this because Pakistani history is full of seizure of power of
democratically elected government by the Pakistani army. So, it’s not getting
me that much curiosity.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Sri Lanka is on verge of domestic violence
again. But this time, its due to inflation, power cuts, shortage of fuels and
many other socio economic and political reasons. Actually, I think it’s for the
first time, I have seen so much problem in Sri Lanka. Although, India has sent
fuel and food grains to Sri Lanka and has promised to extend help in future
also but the main thing which is disturbing me is that how these situations
arose in Sri Lanka? What are those factors which lead the present scenario to
pop up? Although curfew has been imposed in Sri Lanka but still all the 26
ministers have submitted their resignations to Sri Lankan President. Sri Lankan
people have now come out in protests across the nation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Well, the scenario in Sri Lanka is much
worse than Pakistan. Actually, China has invested heavily in Pakistan and Sri
Lanka. In my view, it’s a diplomatic move made by the Chinese government to
lock India from two sides along with having a regular income from Pakistan and
Sri Lanka. We all are aware that China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a free
passage for China to have direct access to Gwadar port in Pakistan. Likewise, China
has invested in Hambantota port in Sri Lanka and acquirement of land for Colombo
port project worked as a boon for China. Actually, India was a huge market for China.
But China wanted to expand its economic front close to India to counter the rising
Indian economy. Choosing Pakistan and Sri Lanka was part of its strategy where
it can have more access to economic front as well as to have military base
also. Situation in Sri Lanka is result of this strategy only. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

absent from posting any post. Actually, I wasn’t having any topic in my mind to
write today. So, I was in frustration. I was going through news channels.
Suddenly, a news article caught my attention. It was a part of speech which Mr
Nitish Kumar, Chief Minister of Bihar, gave yesterday in the Bihar Legislative
Council. Mr Kumar was saying that if a person, who is still consuming alcohol
is not an Indian. Along with that Mr Kumar has called such persons as a great
sinner and most irresponsible person.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Actually, Mr Kumar made an anti-alcohol
rule in Bihar which came in effect from 1<sup>st</sup> April,2016. Actually,
this rule was made to fulfil Mr Kumar’s political promises which he had done
during the Bihar assembly elections in 2015. To get maximum number of seats to
form the government, he wanted his maximum candidates to win the election. For
this he made political promise that he will ban alcohol in entire Bihar if he
forms the government again. He won the election and after formation of the
government, he fulfilled his political promise. Although, nobody was expecting
him to take this decision because everyone was thinking that he won’t fulfil
his political promise. But he did it without seeing its far fetch consequences.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Now since the ban of alcohol in Bihar,
till date, not a single day has passed when we haven’t heard about the news of
alcohol being found in different parts of the state. Trucks, lorries and other vehicles
are being caught and seized by the Bihar police in cooperation of Excise
Department of Bihar Government. But still, ban on alcohol hasn’t been 100%
successful. Bulk of alcohol consignment is seized and arrests have also been
made. Many alcohol smugglers have been arrested and put in the court. Then
also, the supply is still on. I don’t understand that how the alcohol loaded vehicles
are entering the state. How the excise department at the border isn’t able to
seize those vehicles at the border itself? Why the vehicles are been seized
when they have entered the state? I think Mr Nitish Kumar should investigate
this first before making any statement.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Mr Nitish Kumar gave strict orders that
the District Magistrate and Superintendent of Police will be answerable for
their districts. If any amount of alcohol is been seized in any district, then
District Magistrate and Superintendent of Police will have to explain about the
entry of alcohol in their district. If possible then they would be transferred
from their posts. so, Mr Nitish Kumar should himself resign from his post
because as a Chief Minister, he had failed to block the entry of liquor in his
state. Actually, initially, there was a clause in the anti-liquor bill that if
anyone or group of people are being caught consuming liquor then the whole
house will be sealed and the family members have to vacant the premises. Now,
which type of law is this? In my view, it’s a barbaric law in modern age. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Actually, I think Mr Nitish Kumar has made
this law in very much hurry. He just wanted to prove that he is man of his
words. Well, this is a very rare phenomenon in Indian politics where a
politician really sticks to his or her words. Otherwise, we have a long list of
politicians who have said something but later on they have taken U turn from
their statements. How can we forget Mr Arvind Kejriwal, who used to vow on his
children’s head that he won’t have coalition with either Congress or BJP? But
after election, he went to both parties for coalition. Before formation of
Jharkhand from Bihar, Mr Lalu Prasad Yadav, gave a statement that Jharkhand
will be formed over his dead body. Jharkhand has celebrated its 21<sup>st</sup>
foundation day in November 2021 and Mr Lalu Prasad Yadav is still alive. May
God give him a long and healthy life. I was just saying that politicians always
take U turn from their statements and later on they say that their previous
statement was presented in wrong angle. Well, that’s not an issue with me
because there is a long history where politicians have taken U turn. Today, I’m
not writing on that topic.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Well, its true that officially Bihar is
now a dry state but unofficially liquor is available at higher price. Actually,
these days, instead of nabbing criminals, police are busy in arresting those
who have consumed alcohol or are involved in manufacturing and distribution. Recently,
Mr Nitish Kumar got a severe comment from Supreme Court. Supreme Court was
really angry with the anti-liquor law because it was formulated in hurry
without knowing its long affect on the courts also. Frankly speaking, there are
23 judges in Patna High Court but 16 judges were busy in executing cases
related to liquor laws. So, there had again been amendments in the anti-liquor
law. But I don’t think that it will have any affect. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Since the enforcement of the anti-liquor
law, there is loss of revenue to state exchequer. But still, liquor is
available in black market. So, whose profit is this? State exchequer or black marketers?
What other steps Mr Nitish Kumar took for getting revenue to the state exchequer
in lieu of liquor? Why still no companies are interested in opening their
production units in Bihar? What measures Mr Nitish Kumar is taking to promote
tourism in Bihar? Actually, with the ban of liquor in Bihar, the tourism
industry also got a huge impact due to this. Well, I think if Mr Nitish Kumar
had made a complete roadmap before imposing ban on liquor, then it would have
been more beneficiary for the state exchequer. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>sumit sinhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063851648507736722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327865748333674754.post-88447460366039804272022-03-28T15:15:00.001+05:302022-04-14T12:28:04.928+05:30Day 483<p> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Today, I wasn’t in mood to write. But I
thought that laziness will again come and there will be a gap again. Then this
gap will lead to have guilt feeling in my heart. So, basically to save myself
from that I thought that I should write something. Actually, writing daily was
my aim but I never achieved that goal. There were many reasons behind that. But
I have observed something. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Actually, there are many celebrities in
our country from various sections of our society. Most of them are extremely
busy in their works but still they get sometimes to mark their presence on the
virtual world also. For example, Mr Amitabh Bachchan is still very active in
shooting of movies and other projects are there with him which makes him busy
round the clock but still daily I find a post on his social networking sites.
Don’t know how he manages that. Same condition is with Mr Narendra Modi.
Running the administrative work of the entire nations requires a lot of time
and energy, but still, he gets time for his yoga and interaction on the virtual
world also. Sometimes, I think that how they manage to do all these things in
just twenty-four hours in a day.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The time is same for everyone. Everyone has
the same twenty-four hours in a day but its utilisation makes the difference between
individuals. Actually, for the last couple of months, I was trying to write a
post on Mr Narendra Modi. But I was hesitating because for the last seven and
half years, everything revolves around Mr Modi in Indian politics. If you are
praising Mr Modi then you are his ‘bhakth’ and if you are critising him then
you are secular. If you want to show that you are highly so called
‘intellectual’ then abusing and cursing Mr Modi is the only way to become one.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Well, whatever may be the side, but I
haven’t seen that a leader has got so much popularity in Indian politics. Even
if you are critising him then also it means that you are following him and his
actions very closely. But personally, I think it’s his charisma that makes him
the most adorable leader in the Indian politics. Indeed, there were many other
leaders in Indian politics who have done tremendous things for the country but
none of them have got so much popularity as Mr Modi has got. I think maybe the
reason behind this is the way of working. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">If we look into the post-independence
Indian history, then we have seen that majority of the time, it was a single
party rule across the country. I mean to say that at the centre and at the
state level, there was negligible opposition. At a certain point of time, it
looks like the country is being ruled by a single family. At that time, the
progress rate was very less. The impression of India in the world was of a
lagger. But now, the scenario has changed. The thought of entire world has
changed since Mr Modi has come into the power. The most recent example of this
has been seen in the current ongoing crisis between Russia and Ukraine. Safe
passage was given to the group of people who were healding Indian national
flag. Even Pakistani people have used Indian national flag to escape the
conflict area. Russia and Ukraine had held their gunfight for six hours to give
passage to all the Indians to leave the trouble area. I believe that this had
happened to the changed mindset about India which wasn’t there earlier. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I don’t remember that during the Iraqi
invasion of Kuwait, these things happened there. That time also, we had a strong-willed
statesman leading the country. It was the for the first time that a non-member
of the leading family was the Prime Minister. Anyway, that’s another thing. In
the last seven and half years, we have seen how the opposition parties are
after the suits being worn by Mr Modi, the foreign trips been made by him and
many other things. Previously, we have seen that opposition parties have been
successful in disclosing various scams like coal scam, 2G scam, commonwealth
scams and more. But this time, opposition parties hasn’t been successful in
disclosing any scam. Actually, previously, no one dared to ask questions from
the leaders. During elections, leaders used to make many promises but all those
promises were unfulfilled. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Its not like that there was no development
before Mr Modi came into power. It was there but the pace with which the country
progressed was at snail’s pace. Opposition parties are labelling him as a pro
Hindu leader instead of being a secular leader. But Mr Modi has visited Muslim
countries like Saudi Arabia and UAE. There also he had got a warm welcome. This
proves that Mr Modi is equally popular across the world. I remember that before
2014, Barack Obama administration openly stated that Mr Modi won’t get the visa
to enter United States of America ever because he has failed to stop riot in
2002 in Gujarat. Well, I haven’t forgotten the huge reception received by Mr
Modi in New York when he visited United States of America on the invitation of
Barack Obama administration. I think its impossible for anyone to force the American
administration to take such a U turn. But it has been done for Mr Modi. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

history of Kashmir conflicts and its political causes. Actually, it wasn’t in
my agenda to write but my main topic couldn’t have been completed without going
into the detail history of Kashmir conflict. Today, I’m going to cover the main
topic on which I wanted to write the post.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Well, in my last post, I started with
mentioning of a new Bollywood film “The Kashmir Files”. It’s based on the
atrocities done on the Kashmiri Pandits in the Kashmir valley. This filmed
showed how the Kashmiri Pandits were threaten, warned and then dragged out of
their homes. The beatings of kids, young men and women and old peoples. Making
comments like “Hindu women are allowed but without their husbands” and many
other derogatory comments were commonly heard. Unfortunately, no action was
taken because it was done in Kashmir. A state which was enjoying the status of
special state under Article 370, which allowed Kashmir to have its own
constitution and Indian constitution doesn’t have any value there except
defence and international diplomacy. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Actually, it’s clear that Pakistan always
wanted to have control over Kashmir since independence. It’s a clear fact, Pakistan
was formed on the basis of religion. Since, its formation, Pakistan has only
one dream of becoming the world leader of all the Muslims in the world. So, Pakistan
started propaganda of spreading hatred amongst Kashmiri youths on the basis of
religion. Actually, there were few separatist leaders who always gave speeches
against Indian government and its policies. Gradually, Pakistan started infiltration
of terrorists along with arms and ammunitions. It was a clear indication that Pakistan
can’t defeat India in direct combat as it has seen in 1965 and 1971. Well, all
the infiltration and cross border terrorism began to reach after 1989. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Well, Pakistani administration knew it
very clearly that all the activities have to be done without being caught. Actually,
Indira Gandhi had tackled the liberation of Bangladesh very efficiently. Diplomatically
speaking, liberation of Bangladesh was the master stroke of Indira Gandhi against
which Pakistan couldn’t do anything. But after the assassination of Indira Gandhi,
Pakistani government began to prepare its base in the Kashmir valley. Gradually,
with the passage of time, infiltration was on the rise. There were separatist
leaders who held rallies and these rallies were about spreading anti India
propaganda. Obviously, the funding and speeches were provided by Islamabad. Well,
every fortnight, there were news of infiltration of terrorists across the
border. It’s not like Indian army wasn’t doing anything. Indian army was doing its
best to retaliate these terrorists. But there was lack of political will power
at the Indian side. Actually, after 1989, there was multi party governments in India.
This was the time when there wasn’t much attention been given to infiltration because
none of the leaders were much interested in solving this issue. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Since, the inclusion of Kashmir in the Union
of India, Kashmir dispute is still unresolved in the UN. Well, this has been
due to lack of political will power. Second reason is the special status given
to Kashmir under section 370. This section of the Indian constitution had made
the situation more complex. Well, the attacks on Kashmiri pandits were clear
indications that the separatist leaders under the influence of Islamabad wanted
to make the entire Kashmir a Muslim state of Indian union. Then their master
plan was to claim in UN that since Kashmir is a Muslim state and India has
forcefully taken control of Kashmir. I think it was their plan to prove that
the agreement between Raja Hari Singh and the Indian government was void and it
doesn’t hold any importance in today’s time. But till now, all the efforts
being made by the Pakistani government has failed. I don’t think that it will
have any fruits because the current Indian government has taken back the
article 370 which had separated Kashmir state with rest of the India. Now the
entire Kashmir region is termed as Union Territory which means every decision
will be taken by the Union government and it will be ruled as per the Indian constitution.

entire Bollywood. Its name of the movie is “The Kashmir Files” and it’s based
on the killings and migration of Kashmiri Pandits in late 1980s and early 1990s
from the Kashmir valley. Actually, Kashmir issue has always a hot topic of
discussion since 1947. Well, this issue has been created by handful of
politicians of that time to fulfil their political agenda and propaganda. But
now this issue has taken many lives since early 1990s. First, it was killing
and migration of Kashmiri Pandits followed by the terrorist’s attacks sponsored
by our neighbouring country. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I agree that in 1947, post-independence,
there were a lot of problems who needed immediate attention to solve them.
Actually, all these problems were created by the British empire so that there
will be chaos always in Indian subcontinent. They were successful also for a
limited period of time. Well, after all, they were master players of divide and
rule game. Anyway, lets begin with the post-independence scenario. There were
about 562 princely states in India and they had been given option to chose one
of the three options. The options were to join either India or Pakistan or
remain independent. As we all know that almost all the princely states agreed
to join India due to diplomatic effort of Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel, then Home
Minister of India. Well, few states like Kashmir in north and Hyderabad in
south decided to remain independent. Both of them refused to go with India or
Pakistan. Its another story how nizam of Hyderabad agreed to Sardar Patel’s
conditions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Well, its clear that Raja Hari Singh was
the last ruler of Kashmir. Although, he was a Hindu king but the majority public
in his kingdom were Muslim. This was the key issue on which Mohammad Ali Jinnah
proclaimed that Kashmir should be part of Pakistan instead of being an Indian state.
At that time, Raja Hari Singh was having political differences with Jawahar Lal
Nehru, then Prime Minister of India. That’s why he preferred to be independent
instead of joining either India or Pakistan. But Nehru’s friendship with Sheikh
Abdullah, a prominent leader of Kashmir. To have a square political situation
with Raja Hari Singh, Nehru called Sheikh Abdullah as his blood brother. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Actually, Sheikh Abdullah had a dream to rule
Kashmir. He had formed a political party also which was called Kashmir Muslim
Conference which later turned into National Conference. Obviously, his dream
was to remove the king and to become ruler of the Kashmir. That’s why the party
was formed and since 1946, he started Quit Kashmir Movement just like Quit India
Movement. Ironically, in 1945, Jawahar Lal Nehru made a statement in a session
of National Conference that if non-Muslim wants to live in Kashmir, then they
should join National Conference or say goodbye to the country. If Kashmiri Pandits
doesn’t join National Conference, then no safeguard will save them. I think
this was a clear threat being made by Nehru to the people of Kashmir. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">For the rest of India, Nehru portrayed
himself as Kashmiri pandit but for Kashmiri pandit he doesn’t belong to their
clan. After all, he was blood brother of Sheikh Abdullah. To safeguard his
political interest, Raja Hari Singh arrested Sheikh Abdullah in 1946 which was
taken as personal insult by Nehru. Actually, Nehru and Abdullah were having
their political issues connected. There was logic behind this also. Well,
Sheikh Abdullah didn’t want to be a part of Pakistan because there were
differences between Sheikh Abdullah and Mohammad Ali Jinnah. Jinnah considered
Sheikh Abdullah as a traitor and an agent of Congress party. So, Sheikh
Abdullah wanted to be a part of the Indian side. This was going to fulfil his political
ambition of ruling the Kashmir. Maybe this was the political interest which was
a driving force to get inclined towards Nehru. Nehru also wanted Kashmir to be
in India. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Actually, all these differences were due
to inter political interests. Raja Hari Singh also had a political interest
that he didn’t want to leave his throne. His problem was that if he joined Pakistan
then his state will be under an Islamic nation and in an Islamic nation, he won’t
be treated well because he is Hindu. If Hari Singh joined India, then his state
will come under the democratic system of government where the ruler will be
elected from the general public through election process. This also was unacceptable
to Raja Hari Singh. That’s why he wished to be independent. He didn’t want to be
a part of either India or Pakistan. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But Mohammad Ali Jinnah had different
plan. He wanted Kashmir to be a Pakistani state because the majority of the
population were Muslims. On the basis of religion, he thought to get Kashmir merged
into Pakistan. But with refusal from Raja Hari Singh, it was difficult for
Jinnah also to claim Kashmir as Pakistani part. It was crystal clear that
Jinnah didn’t have friendly relation with Sheikh Abdullah so there was attack
on Kashmir by the Pakistani side. Jinnah thought that having Kashmir by force
will solve the problem. So, Pakistani forces comprising of Pakistani Pashtun tribal
militias crossed the border to take control of Srinagar. They thought that by
taking control of Srinagar they will have the control of entire state. But by
that time, Maharaja Hari Singh sought help of Indian government by signing Instrument
of Assession to India. Then Indian forces fought the war with the Pashtun tribal
militias and saved Kashmir from going into Pakistani control. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But Nehru made a mistake by going to
United Nations to solve the Kashmir issue between India and Pakistan. Till date,
this is a disputed case between both countries without any decision. With the
influence of United Nations, a ceasefire was made and it was said that the
forces will remain where there were. That’s how Pakistan occupied Kashmir (POK)
came into existence. <o:p></o:p></span></p>sumit sinhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063851648507736722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327865748333674754.post-85528906334578763382022-03-17T16:34:00.005+05:302022-04-14T12:24:52.519+05:30Day 480<p> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I would like to greet you a very happy and
colourful Holi in advance. Actually, I won’t be able to write any post on Holi.
Well, this year Holi is being celebrated on two days that is Friday and
Saturday. Hence this is causing the confusion about which day to celebrate
Holi. Actually, I think that if there are two days of celebration of any festival
then it kills the enthusiasm of the festive mood. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Let’s take the example of Holi this year.
According to the Hindu calendars, Holi is on Friday and Saturday. Now suppose,
you are in full mood to celebrate Holi on Friday. But your neighbours and friends
are undecided when to celebrate Holi. At last, you decide to celebrate it on
Saturday but when you visit your friend’s home then you find that the friend
has already celebrated Holi on Friday. Then what will be your condition?
Obviously, your mood will be off. Now take another scenario. You decided to
celebrate Holi on Friday and went to your friend’s home, but your friend is in
mood to celebrate it on Saturday. On your persistence, your friend will
celebrate Holi half-heartedly. Then also, your mood will get spoiled. That’s
why I prefer to have festivals on a single day when there is no confusion at
all.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Well, festivals are the time when all the
family members are together. But with due course of time and with increasing
number of nuclear families, the meaning of celebration of festivals is
changing. I’m not going far back. Let’s go back three decades back, when we
were in primary classes. At that time, we used to have grandparents, paternal
uncles along with their wives and cousins. Sometimes, maternal aunty used to come
on festivals. There used to be so much fun in such a huge gathering. There was
no issue of who will sleep where. There used to be a big bedsheet and we,
children, used to sleep together. We used to have variety of foods. But now,
even if a single person arrives our home, then we get worried about how to make
arrangements for him. At present time, due to professional life, most of us are
leaving far away from our home towns. We don’t get the feeling of ownness in
different cities. Whenever we return to our home towns then we get a feeling of
ownness. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Anyway, I don’t want to drag this post
long. Let me enjoy the festive mood of Holi with my sweet memories and my
family. You also enjoy Holi with your family. Happy Holi once again.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>sumit sinhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063851648507736722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327865748333674754.post-14190781946976829222022-03-10T14:34:00.001+05:302022-03-10T14:34:41.618+05:30Day 479<p> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Again I’m</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">
back after a long gap. This time I won’t say that I’ll be on time and punctual.
Actually, sometimes, our control over ourselves or the environment or our
action. When I was in school, then I have read an English proverb, “Man
proposes and God disposes.” Well, I think this proverb has a very high accuracy
and impact upon my blog writing. Whenever I have decided to write the blog with
continuous ideas with daily posts then something had happened which had forced
me to come on back foot for few months or couple of years. Same thing happened
this time also.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It’s not like I was very busy in my
professional life. For the last seven or eight months, I don’t have any professional
life. I quit my last company and I didn’t have any regret for that.
Circumstances were such that it was clear indication for me that I won’t be
there for a long time. Or you can say that I was destined to work in that
company for that time period only. Well, I say that whatever is fixed to happen
at certain point of time then that thing will happen at that point of time. It
can’t be resisted or stopped. I believe that everything is predetermined by the
supreme authority. For me, supreme authority means God.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Actually, I think that there is some
power beyond the limits of human thinking and beyond nature. It can be called
as super power or supernatural power. But the power is there. That’s why we
believe in God because we think that this power is beyond everything. There are
many things in this world which are beyond any scientific explanations. This
proves that there is a power beyond science. I’m not criticising science here.
I’m just saying that there is some spiritual power in this world. Science has
evolved a lot with the passage of time. But since human race has started living
in community, it has prayed to the supreme power as God.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But these days, the fight has
intensified that my God is superior to your God. This thought is creating
imbalance in the world. It’s not like there weren’t fights or wars between two
persons, two groups, two communities or two countries since human race has
started living in community. But this war of my God versus your God is
something which is more dangerous than any epidemic. You can cure any disease
or epidemic with the help of science and technology but you can’t cure any
thought which brings destruction only. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">There are several inventions in science
and technology which are blessings for the entire human race. I can’t deny
that. But there are few inventions too which are like curse for the entire
human race. Well, I think it depends on the intention of the people using some
particular technology whether it’s a cure or it’s a blessing. Let’s take
example of nuclear energy. The concept of the nuclear fusion depends on whether
it’s a controlled one and is used for power generation to solve the electricity
generation, or for fuelling naval ships and submarines or for medical remedies.
Same nuclear fusion can be uncontrolled which can trigger a nuclear warhead
being mounted on a missile which can be used against the opposition country
during a war. Likewise there are many inventions in the science and technology
which can be used either for the humanity or against the humanity.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Anyway, it’s good to write something
again after a long time. Let’s hope that this time I’m regular with my posts. Even
I want to have the same thing. But unfortunately I have failed in doing so. But
this time I’m wishing that I get some success. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>sumit sinhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063851648507736722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327865748333674754.post-48004114162031567542021-05-27T11:44:00.002+05:302021-05-27T11:44:39.400+05:30Day 478<p> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Actually, </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">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? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">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? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>sumit sinhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063851648507736722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327865748333674754.post-78916520865504972172021-05-20T12:14:00.003+05:302021-05-20T12:14:54.964+05:30Day 477<p> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>sumit sinhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063851648507736722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327865748333674754.post-40734913854321630342021-05-12T18:07:00.003+05:302021-05-12T18:07:57.885+05:30Day 476<p> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>sumit sinhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063851648507736722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327865748333674754.post-15150879563239415502021-02-26T17:35:00.000+05:302021-02-26T17:35:01.538+05:30Day 475<p> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Time flies very
fast. It’s a month since I wrote my last post. Sometimes I worry that how times
flows so fast. Indeed, I was busy in my professional work but believe me it wasn’t
hard to find time and topic to write for the post. But I don’t know why this
happened that I couldn’t write for a month. Well, one thing is good that the
culprits of the Red Fort tragedic incidence has been caught. They are booked
under the various sections of the IPC. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">But one thing is
still wondering me. It has been more than three months that the farmers protest
is still going on. All the farmer unions are saying that all of them are poor
farmers and they are fighting for the basic rights. But my question to them is
that if they are poor farmers then how are they surviving without money for
three months? All of them are having food since the protest started if they aren’t
having money with them? How come they arranged for the diesel for so many
tractors on 26 January? If they are really poor then how come they are paying
for the tents in which they are using since the starting of the protest? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In my view, all
the leaders of the farmer protestors are big farmers who have acres of
agricultural land for cultivation under their control. Otherwise it’s not
possible to survive for more than three months for the poor farmers without
work and with extra expenditure. I think they are getting support from some
political parties who want to have the disturbance around the borders of the
NCR. It’s very unfortunate to see that now the pure farmers protest has taken
political form now. Various opposition parties have joined the farmers protest.
Although Rakesh Tikket is saying that no political leader is allowed to share
the stage with the protesting farmer leaders. But if political leaders are
coming and joining the protestors then its obvious understood thing that there
is some political angle in this. This fact can’t be denied.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Actually, I’m
seeing something else behind this. Well, I’m remembering 2015. At that time,
elections were due in Bihar and Delhi. At that time, before the elections a
wave of intolerance flew in the country as a result a complete gang of award
returning came in existence. These people were awarded during the UPA-2 regime
for their valuable contributions in various fields. But suddenly, they felt
that they aren’t safe in India. They returned the award to the Modi government
but didn’t returned the cash prize along with that. How can you just return the
trophy or the medal alone when you had received some cash amount along with
that trophy? Well, the insecurity wasn’t was with these so called intellectuals
but few of superstars of Bollywood and their families felt that India isn’t secure
for them. They were ready to move out of the country. I’m still surprised to
see them living comfortably in the country even after six years of their award
returning act. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Actually, it was
a propaganda used to misguide and let the voters so that they keep BJP from the
power. In Bihar, Mr Nitish Kumar left the NDA and went to form alliance with
his arch enemy RJD and Congress. But after about six months, the real face of
intolerance and award returning came to its original form. All these things
were designed by the opposition parties to defame Narendra Modi and his party
so that BJP couldn’t come to power anymore.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Likewise there
is elections in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Assam and Pondicherry are
going to be held now. But I think that all these farmer protests and the new
trend on a social media platform for giving the jobs are just another political
gimmick to defame the Modi government just to stop BJP from coming to power. But
they are forgetting that there was reelection in Delhi because no party was
able to form the government at that time. In Bihar, Nitish Kumar rejoined NDA
after two and half years. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Let’s see what
happens in the future time. It will be inappropriate to say anything right now.
Actually, I’m not on the side of Modi government and BJP although my today’s
post might have seemed like that. But I’m worried about the current status of
the opposition parties. Rahul Gandhi gave a statement about the political
differences in North India and South India. I think he is trying to say that
voters in South India are wise but voters of North India aren’t that much wise.
Frankly speaking, I didn’t understand what he meant to say. There is no other
major opposition party than Congress. Others are regional parties who didn’t have
the status of the national party. In short, I think there is no strong
opposition party to oppose Mr Narendra Modi.<o:p></o:p></span></p>sumit sinhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063851648507736722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327865748333674754.post-88177516668350333452021-01-27T15:56:00.001+05:302021-01-27T15:56:08.508+05:30Day 474<p> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Yesterday, I was
happy because of Republic Day. I watched the parade on my smart phone. I felt
energetic and proud after watching the video. But at that time, I wasn’t aware
that this feeling will be short lived. Few anti national elements have marked
yesterday as black day of modern Indian history. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">All these things
had happened under cover of the tractor rally called by the protesting farmer
leaders. Indian Farmer Union leader Rakesh Tikket had urged people to bring
sticks along with flags for the tractor rally. Initially, permission was taken
for the 500 tractors only but as per media report more than 500 tractors were
present in Delhi yesterday. Red Fort has been ransacked by the protestors. Now Rakesh
Tikket is avoiding the charges that he had said anything illegal. He is trying
to cover up his speech in a viral video where he had already said that bring
your own flags and sticks along with the tractor because land is going out of
our hands.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Media reports is
saying that the Red Fort has been hijacked by the protestors. But how come
protestors can ransack or hijack the Red Fort. Red Fort is one of the heavily
protected by the Delhi police. But as per media reports, the protestors outnumbered
the Delhi police force and there are video clips that how the protestors had
slapped the Delhi police forces and had forced them to jump in a pit which is 8
to 10 feet deep.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">But here arises
few questions. Is there any laps from the Intelligence Bureau from giving any intelligence
report about the supposed tractor rally? Why did 26 January 2021 was selected
for the tractor rally? Why any other day didn’t was selected? How come the
peaceful farmers turned into armed protestors and ransacked Red Fort and hosted
their own flag? Why did they broke all the barricades to gain entry? Well,
approximately 300 Delhi Police personals are injured and are undergoing
treatment in hospitals. A high level meeting is going on in the Ministry of
Home Affairs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">22 FIRs have
been lodged in various police stations against the protestors. Home Ministry is
determined to find out the main culprits and bring justice. But, I think it’s
time to arrest the Farmer Protest leaders for giving provoking speeches like
Rakesh Tikket has given earlier. Obviously, he is covering up his speech now. Other
Farmer Protest leaders are claiming that the idea of tractor rally was to have
peaceful protest. My question to them is that why the tractor rally turned into
anti national protest? Who gave the order to ransack Red Fort?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I think all the
suspected Farmer Protest Leaders who are involved in making provoking speeches
should be arrested without delay and charge sheet should be filled urgently. Indeed,
police is in investigating the matter now. Although, the CCTV cameras had been
vandalized by the so called peaceful farmers but still on the basis of the statement
and the video footage available the police is in action. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I must say that it’s
the responsibility of the protest organizers that they can’t control the mob. They
weren’t aware that the people coming on their call for the tractor protest will
become violent. This statement isn’t easy for me to digest. I think its all pre
planned thing by the leaders of the Farmer Protest. I think this is a part of
the conspiracy of the leaders of the Farmer Protest to put the entire blame on
the current government. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In my view, now
onwards, 26 January will be remembered as black day. I’m feeling ashamed for
this. But few shameless people will play political games for their own benefit.
If the government has called the all the leaders of the farmer protest for open
table discussion then what was the need of this tractor rally? It was a
conspiracy to defame the current government. Now the real face of these so
called leaders have been exposed to the entire nation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

days, I’m not frequent as I thought to be. Actually, it was one of my
resolutions of 2021 that the frequency of my posts will increase. But unfortunately,
it’s not happening. But it’s never late for anything. So, I’m trying to
increase the frequency of the posts. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">These days, I’m
unable to concentrate on a particular topic to write. Many topics are floating in
my mind. Whenever I decided to write on a particular topic and am half way down
then suddenly second topic pop up in mind. Simultaneously third topic pop up
while dealing with the second topic. This is happening since last Saturday with
me. I don’t know how to control it. By the time I concentrate on the topic, I lose
all the contents and the flow to write.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">This wasn’t the
case with me earlier. Writing a post on the blog was never a real problem for
me. But then why this is happening with me these days? What’s the real reason
behind this? Is being busy in other works the reason behind this? Lack of
interest can’t be said because if this would have been the case then I would
have never returned back to the blog writing. But I came back after two years
to write. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">That time phase
was really different. Situations were different that time. That time, I didn’t have
any way to access to any system to write anything. Anyway, it’s a part of past.
But right now, those difficulties aren’t there then I’m lacking in idea. Why this
is happening? I think this is the time for self-medication. Then only I can
find answer for my questions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>sumit sinhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063851648507736722noreply@blogger.com0
