THE BIG FIGHT IS FOR ‘IZZAT’ Maj Gen Surjit Singh, AVSM VSM ( surjiteme@gmail.com ) “If the leash on military leaders gets too tight, they will not be able to bite; nor even bark, when the balloon goes up” A Dark Chapter in Indian Military History The only thing common between 16th Dec 1971 and 16th Dec 2008 is the date and the month on the calendar. For the rest, these two days are poles apart. On the first of these historical dates, the Indian soldier was on cloud nine. He was the cynosure of all eyes. But on the 37th anniversary of the “Vijay Diwas” the same soldiers who had done the nation proud, were biting dust; breathing polluted Delhi air and reduced to begging for equitable pensions. A brave heart, who was once a 3-star general slept on a bug infected mattress to fight for justice. This demonstration was initially planned for six days, because no one believed that they could muster enough volunteers for a period longer than that. Events tell a different story today: On 19 Dec,...
Infrastructure vision- Best of allby Omkar S. Tiwari on Wed Apr 22, 2009 3:03 pm Friends, I downloaded the BJP's infrastructure vision yesterday and read it. According to me this vision is an excellent piece of work by the BJP. Earlier, I had criticized the manifesto as it had lacked accurate figures and possible steps in a particular direction. This infrastructure vision is highly detailed and gives information on how the BJP will proceed. I am a science student and teachers always told us- Be specific, don't beat about the bush. Be ready with points and exact figures. I find that this infrastructure vision is highly specific.I liked the following points very much:-Increase in power output by 1,20,000 MW.-Comparison between china and India is also good with best figures.-1,00,000 crore investment in power sector.-20% power from non-conventional resources.-Eliminating theft of Power. Indian electicity boards are suffering losses only because of two reasons- line loss and power ...
BJP'S FINAL ASSAULT - Let's Pitch in ! by Rita Pandey on Wed Apr 22, 2009 11:26 pm Dear Bloggers/Forum members & all of us who are true Indians,Election 2009 is very important for us and it has reached nearly halfway mark. Now BJP and its leaders should harp on basics. Party agenda is very attractive to all section of society as there is some sops /concession to them. So leaders of BJP may devote almost 70% of election speech on highlighting the party manifesto for the welfare of the people, 20% time to the local issues/problems faced by the people and assurance to the people for solution of problems and 10% time for attacking the policies of opponents. In urban area, where middleclass is facing rising inflation,youth is facing retrenchment in employment and unemployment. Retired govt servant is getting meagre pension and lower range of incometax limit means, a portion of this meage amount is being taken away as incometax.Education is made costly. Bijli,pani and sadak are n...

CPOs have No Answer to Naxals

Josy Joseph Saturday, April 18, 2009 3:38 IST .New Delhi: While security forces and intelligence agencies perceived a threat to the poll process from Islamist terrorist groups based outside India, it is the home-grown naxalite violence that threatens to disrupt the general election. And the establishment says it can't do much to contain the menace. At least 48 security force personnel have been killed in 100 naxalite attacks since the election was announced on March 2, 12 of them during the first phase of polling on Thursday. Of the 48, 30 are from the Central Reserve Police Force, 11 from the Central Industrial Security Force, and the rest from the Border Security Force. This figure is higher than the number of security force personnel killed in the corresponding period in Jammu & Kashmir and the Northeast put together. With four more phases of polling still to go over the next month, the reach and scale of the naxalite attacks suggest that this general election will go down a...
