Indian Idiots Helping Pakistan

Two statements first:

A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within - Ariel Durant.

In political jargon, useful idiot is a term for people perceived as propagandists for a cause whose goals they are not fully aware of, and who are used cynically by the leaders of the cause.

“Pakistan is an enemy country” belongs in the “Sky is blue” folder. That country’s formation was a heinous crime committed on India by so called well-wishers. People who stopped a complete partition (we lost land and still ended up with the second largest Muslim population) or forced Nehru by sidelining Sardar Patel are revered and almost worshipped. They were well meaning people but they knew less than nothing about statecraft. Nations are born with spilt blood and not with hope and goodwill. The saga of useful Indian idiots in not a new one. Aman ki asha is the new name for Satyagraha.

Our great nation has had to suffer some of the worst and myopic leaders. Nehru’s well-meaning approach to leadership led to Hindi – Chini bhai bhai. Indira’ myopia surrendered the great advantages of the 1972 war to that clever bastard Bhutto but at least she split Pakistan in two thereby making our eastern border somewhat safe. She was way more of a man than the guy who followed her. Morarji Desai was another well-meaning idiot. In a very good article, Mallika Nawal writes that RAW could have caused irreparable damage to Pakistan nuclear program but for Desai:

By analyzing the hair samples of the scientists (collected from the barber shop near the plant), RAW discovered they had indeed developed the capability to enrich uranium to weapons-grade quality. And thus, unbeknownst to Pakistan, RAW managed to infiltrate the Kahuta plant in 1977.

In fact, in early 1978, the entire blueprint of the Kahuta nuclear plant was offered to India for a measly sum of $10,000 by one of RAW’s Pakistani agents. However, as dictated by protocol, RAW needed the PM’s approval. Unfortunately, Indira Gandhi (the woman who founded RAW) was no longer the PM. The Janata Party was in power, and Morarji Desai, as Prime Minister, now held the reins of RAW. Desai, who had a strong aversion to RAW, rejected the agency’s request.

And in a further and final act of betrayal, he inadvertently informed General Zia ul-Haq, who had usurped power in Pakistan by deposing Bhutto in July 1977, that India was well-aware of Kahuta and Pakistan’s nuclear programme. As it emerged from later reports, the military dictator went about eliminating every single one of our agents and assets, thus forever leaving us in the dark about Pakistan’s nuclear weapons programme.

No wonder then, that Morarji Desai is the only Indian recipient of Pakistan’s highest civilian award, the Nishaan-e-Pakistan. You can’t blame General Zia for ingratitude!

In another excellent treatise (in New Indian Express) it is written:

Political masters have historically compromised Indian intelligence. In 1978, during a brief phone conversation with Pakistan ruler General Zia-ul-Haq, Indian prime minister Morarji Desai inadvertently mentioned that India was aware of Pakistan’s nuclear programme. The ruthless General immediately ordered RAW assets in Pakistan to be found and neutralised. Subsequently, Indian agents were eliminated as their helpless handlers watched. Yadav says whatever intelligence network was left in Pakistan after Zia’s bloody cleanup was further destroyed by I K Gujral when he was PM in 1997-98. “Gujral had a serious allergy to RAW and the first thing he did was to suspend all offensive ops within Pakistan. Even the IB was asked to go slow on Pakistani agents operating in India. In approximately 11 months, he systematically erased the organisation’s footprints in Pakistan to promote his peace doctrine,” Yadav reveals.

Interestingly, only few months after Gujral’s decision to suspend RAW’s Pak operation, the agency prevented a Pak-sponsored attack on his convoy in Jalandhar. A top secret A-category input from the RAW station in London had warned about five militants travelling to India to attack the prime minister’s convoy. Surveillance was mounted after their flight touched down at Delhi. A team of Indian intelligence agents apprehended the terrorists after they picked up their weapons from a pre-decided location in Punjab. Meanwhile, unhindered by any political influence, ISI continued to exploit the vacuum created by Indian politicians.

Atalji was another peacenik with great love for Pakistan but at least he kept his eyes open and did not hold back during Kargil (of course Operation Parakram and the Kandahar hijacking totally reversed all the good he did). Of course during the Manmohan Singh decade, Pakistanis were kept happy. Despite of all the cajoling, the pakis kept attacking and in true Christian way, we kept turning the other cheek.

There we have it. A long line of well-meaning Indian leaders who inadvertently helped our enemies. The term useful idiot is an apt one for all of them. But that is not the end of it. There exists a cottage industry of such idiots in the media, academia and social work who somehow think that peace (at any cost) with Pakistan is the cure for all ills of our great nation. The damage this section of the society has wrought on the nation and continue to do so is for all to see.

But what is really flabbergasting is that the so called right wing has inadvertently playing into the hands of those who want to bring shame to the nation. Mr. Madhav Nalapat has written a good one on the topic (url below). Throwing ink at someone like Sudheendra Kulkarni is one thing but to inflict violence upon the innocent or the non-capital crime committing guilty does nothing to improve our image in today’s global village. You should read the gleeful comments being made in Pakistani newspapers in the aftermath or the recent beef related violence or the Kalburgi murder (NO MATTER WHAT THE PROVOCATION – WE ARE NOT MUSLIMS!!).

We finally have a PM who is trying his best to put the nation on the right path but he is facing opposition at every stage. Congress with 42 MPs managed to successfully sabotage the progress oriented bills. The useful idiots are working hard in ensuring that (all kinds of problems are propping up in front of the PM just before the elections. Have you wondered why?

All things said, we should thank our stars that Pakistanis are arrogant and stupid. If they were anything like the Chinese or Russians, they would have destroyed us long time ago. Of course if they had managed to destroy us, then  there would be lots and lots of Indian claimants for the Nishan-e-Pakistan or Sitara-e-Pakistan.

BJP Leaders Need To Practice “No Comment”

Long time ago in discussion with a Muslim from Pakistan (during my graduate school days in the US), I asked him if he believed that people like Alexander Fleming (Penicillin) and Louis Pasteur (vaccination) are in hell. He said that his religion says so and therefore he believes that they are in hell. This guy was pursuing a higher degree in Engineering. Religious fanatics are extremely self-righteous and detached from reality. I used to be so happy that barring some, Hinduism did not have such idiots and most people were very accommodating of diverse thinking and habits.

We always had those who thought that non-vegetarians were somehow inferior to the vegetarians. But it was limited to turning up of noses and never violent. The recent anti beef actions resulting in tragedies are something of an anomaly. The anti-beef brigade will tell you that all countries have some kinds of meats banned so why can’t we? Since I am a meat eater but not a beef eater, I say fine. We should ban beef. After all, it is the most uneconomical meat. Pork is the most economical so we need to promote pork in India. As far as Muslims are concerned, they can still eat goat and lamb (or if you are Salman Khan- an occasional deer). Giving up beef is not exactly a major sacrifice. After all, all Muslims emulate Arabs who have no access to cows and eat lambs and camels. The point is that let us make strict laws about beef and cows. Let us have well defined punishments. After some whining, dust will settle and we will be a beef free country. After that, if some criminal decides to kill a cow (after all, despite of capital punishments Hindus and other Indians still murder and rape) then arrest them and punish them to the fullest extent of the law. But as in all other kinds of crimes, let us not form mobs, tale law in our hands and lynch. Do we do that to murderers? Did we invade Tihar and kill the rapists and murders of Jyoti Singh Pandey aka Nirbhaya? Remember it is only a matter of time before someone like me is eating goat meat at home and get lynched for it.

But there is another tragedy which is far more damaging (from the big picture perspective) which is the motor-mouths of the BJP and RSS. There exist a number of leaders in BJP who are small, petty men with huge egos. These men think that they need to speak their minds whenever there is a microphone in front of them. Now we all have thoughts that we express in private and different ones on the same topic in public. This applies doubly to politicians who are supposed to lie with ease. However when it comes to the topic of beef and Muslims, these men need to shut up or say “No Comment”. Clearly these men lie with ease when it comes to their personal lives. Why do they have to stir up controversies and provide the leftists and mainstream media with sticks to beat PM Narendra Modi. When Khattar make a statement, people forget that Modi as CM had kept RSS and VHP out of politics in Gujarat and maintained the kind of communal harmony that Congress and Secular party ruled states can only dream of (Post Godhra massacre riots notwithstanding. REALLY!). After statements made by RSS leaders or the likes of Sakshi Maharaj, the PM has to stop his work and defend this nonsense. Mohan Bhagwat’s time is not important but the PM who is doing outstanding work needs to focus on his work and nothing else. These motor-mouths are hurting the very cause they brag of supporting – the progress of our motherland. So my appeal to them is please shut up or learn how to say no comment. Please do not derail the progress train.

Murder Over Beef Hurts Entire Nation

Broken bones can be healed, torn books can be glued, burnt flags can be remade, hurt emptions and broken hearts have time on their side. Death is an irreversible process. The way ours and most civilized societies are, capital punishment is not taken lightly for that very reason and even the highest courts tread carefully.

Every Hindu would agree that we are a civilized country. We will go further and say that ours is an ancient civilization and use that in every argument which highlights our weaknesses. Of all the weaknesses and flaws in a society, mob justice and public lynching have to be on the top. If this continues then we are no better than Saudi Arabia or most other Muslim countries with Sharia Laws.

Here we finally have a PM who is undoing all the wrongs done to our nation since 1947. He is out there generating investments and trying to project our soft power and then we get to hear this – mob lynching – a hall mark or savagery. This is the ultimate crab mentality. We have these fringe Hindu groups who somehow feel empowered because now they have a Hindu nationalist in the PM’s chair. They feel that he thinks like them and will agree and condone their murderous agenda. It is clear that they do not know anything about Narendra Modi. In fact they may have made their impression about the PM based upon the views of leftists, liberals and main stream media – the very group they claim the hate.

After the post Godhra-Massacre riots, it is clear that Narendra Modi realized that he could not achieve his dream of a prosperous Gujarat without absolute peace. During his tenure, RSS and the VHP were sidelined and kept in check. Of the two, RSS is a force for good (except for the occasional ramblings of the older leaders who are out of touch with today’s world) but still it as important that law of the land prevailed over individuals and organizations. Within two years of the riots, the BJP won local elections even from the Muslims dominated areas. He is an India first kind of patriot.

Leftists are demanding that the Pm should come out and make a statement on this tragedy. As heinous the murder was, it still is just that – a heinous murder and there are laws to deal with this. The Home and Law ministries should work in tandem to ensure swift justice to restore the faith of all people in the system. A tough punishment should be given to the murderers to send a message to all those who think that they can hide in a mob and get their nefarious agenda though. The PM is responsible for the entire nation. We have local and state government for dealing with crime – heinous or otherwise.

The senseless murder of Mohammad Ikhlaq, father of an IAF personnel is a travesty of the highest order and should be treated as such by every Indian. As a supporter of the BJP, I think it is of utmost importance that people like Sakshi Maharaj be shut up or shunted out. MLAs like Sangeet Som cause great damage to the party with their irresponsible statements and thus are a net loss for the party. Throw the guy out of the party. Thugs like Sadhvi Prachi who are not connected to the party but behave as though they are should be exposed for what they actually are. The mainstream media and the leftist cabal is always trying to tie the party up with such yahoos in hopes for tainting a great leader like our PM. This has to stop as it completely derails the progress train.

Please see the youtube video posted in the article below. If we Hindus decide to brush this off as the work of some misguided extremists then we need to remember one thing – Muslims all over the world use the same excuse. Let us not become another Pakistan. If beef eating is a crime then let the courts deal with it. Mob justice and lynching is going to pull us down to the level of Muslim countries and that we, the Hindus, would like even less.

Please read an excellent article published in Niticentral which says the following:

Why the Right, Left and Media have it wrong

The Right is wrong for moving the debate on “Cow Protection” from the personal domain based on personal morality and religious observances to the domain of the State, something which didn’t happen even during Kautilya’s time.

The Left is wrong in questioning the legitimate Right of the State to legislate on matters that happen in public spaces, a Right which is not unique to India and a Right that is routinely exercised in liberal democracies of the West.

The media is wrong for having distorted the public debate by raising the bogey of personal freedoms when in fact there were no consumption bans. Rather than inform and clarify the media has vitiated the debate by playing up extremes on both sides by repeating crude generalisations and peddling vulgar oversimplifications.

The article can be read at:


Moderate Muslims Are Irrelevant.

The following is a great video which highlights the irrelevance of moderates in a society if the radicals are allowed to run away with their agenda. There is a lesson for Hindus here as well in light of the Dadri lynching of a Muslim farmer who was rumored to be eating beef.
