Russia is new sheriff in Middle East town The US Middle East Policy--eliminate independent leaders (read Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein and Bashar al-Assad) and replace them with puppet regimes to gain unchallenged regional control--has just collapsed. Putin has replaced Washinigton as the guarantor of global security. For over a year, the United States has been p*ssy-footing with these homicidal maniacs. Enough of this song-and-dance routine. Now justice is being done.

MSM Fake News Monitor: Indian Express on PM's EAC The second lead of Indian Express today is: "Slowdown concern, need to push growth jobs: PM's advisors" One could smell Fake News in the use of "concern" and "PM's advisors" in the headline. Would PM's advisors really go public with their "concern" on the state of the economy?

Why the Saudis Formed a Bloc Against the Islamic State (IS) Saudis have formed a bloc against Islamic State. US claims it has a 65-nation alliance against the dreaded terrorist group. Russia itself leads a 4+1 bloc. It seems the world is falling over each other in trying to smash IS to pulp. But the real narrative is in finer print.

"Yugoslavia break-up was planned in advance" French Brigadier-General and famous geo-strategist Pierre Marie Gallois, 'father of French atom bomb," made the startling claim in a video before his death in 2010 that the "balkanization of Yugoslavia" was planned much in advance by Germany and United States than its actual occurrence in the 1990s.

Why Muslims owe a lot to Sardar Patel Rajaji wrote thus in "Swarajya" in 1971: "A myth had grown about Patel that he would be harsh towards Muslims. This was a wrong notion but it was a prevailing prejudice." Indeed, Indian Muslims have a lot to thank him for his even-handedness.

TV Serial "Porus" and the myth of Alexander the Great The great Russian general Marshal Zhukov for one was convinced that Alexander never defeated Porus. Addressing the cadets of Indian Military Academy in Dehra Dun in 1957, the great Russian general who chased Hitler's army down over 2000 kms from Stalingrad to Berlin during World War II, was emphatic that Alexander had been beaten by Porus. He compared Alexander's defeat no better than Napoleon's own reverse in Russia.

Pavan Varma shows his real self on Gandhi, Nehru & Hindutva Varma praises Mahatma Gandhi for his "respect for all religions." Does Varma remember that Gandhi had made the last-ditch proposal to Jinnah to accept Muslim/non-Muslim parity in Parliament, making one Muslim equal to three non-Muslims? (As an aside, how could Gandhi who has "respect for all religions" be praised for his "Catholic spirit"? Too bad, Mr Varma for using a communal brush on your hero.)

Hindus first lose lives; and then the narrative History remembers the day as the 'Direct Action Day" or the "The Week of Long Knives." On July 29, 1946, Muslim League leader Muhammad Ali Jinnah had made a call for "Direct Action"--a call to all Muslims in the country--to mark its rejection of the constituent assembly and to demonstrate to British and Congress that a separate nation called Pakistan alone could offer them security.

Harappa "couple": What does Indian Express mean by "aunt and her nephew"? The editorial writer thinks it's an "excessive claim" that the skeletons were of a couple and that the institution of marriage was developed in the Indus Valley civilization. The editorial says the "pre-history is a land of maybes." The piece ends with an absolute horror: "There's no ruling out of the possibility that they (the skeletons) were just good friends. Or an aunt and her nephew."

Modi finds his nerves tested by US on Iran The one fall-out of all this, including trade barriers ratcheted up by both US and India, is Modi government swinging back appreciably into the China-Russia zone. India has this strategic advantage where countries are looking to wow India rather than the other way around. However, India-US relations for the moment are several notches down than they have ever been since Trump came to power.

Sagarika Ghose, which history books are you reading? Communal fires are being fanned in India by the same Left-Liberal-Media nexus which is determined that Hindus don't gain their identity. It was a project in which British excelled during their 200-year reign over "colony" India. The plot is to show Hindus as aggressive and a threat to minorities and reap a harvest from the consequent turmoil.

If Mahatma Gandhi is "Father of the Nation", Swamiji has been called "The Grandfather of the Nation" by no less than a Speaker of our Parliament; President Radhakrishnan termed him the "Maker of Modern India"; Swami Vivekananda was inclined to place him alongside Kabir, Nanak and Chaitanya.

They will now have the licence from its citizens to launch naked aggression. All this is to make sure that Russia doesn't become dominant in Middle East. The cost to humanity is going to be incalculable.

She circulates a photo-shopped image of Mamata Banerjee, imposed over a latest picture of actress Priyanka Chopra. A complaint is filed and she is sent to 14-day judicial remedy. Mind you, Priyanka Sharma hasn't created the image, only shared it. Yet amongst thousands of such shares, she alone has been made to bear the brunt of suppression.

Bengal: Nobody speaks up for Hindus The Partition gave Pakistan its "freedom." It became a Muslim state. But did the Hindus get their homeland? Why their issues have no takers? Who speaks up for them? The present violence against them in West Bengal is the latest in a long list of criminal silence by all stakeholders when it comes to anyone speaking up for the Hindus.

BJP is making a mistake in TMC turncoats BJP has so far been patient in dismantling Mamata Banerjee. They need more of such a dose. A rush for the trophy now would hurt them in not-too-distant a future. Mamata is collapsing on her own heap. You don't need a storm when a rustle of air is enough.

Nepal Crisis: China, India must reduce trust deficit Nepal's present crisis has been shaped by its geography--caught between the world's two most populous nations--China and India. China wants to make sure it doesn't become the base for Tibetan rebels. It also doesn't want Nepal to fall into American hands, thereby being encircled. India fears for its citizens settled in Nepal. Importantly, it doesn't want this "buffer" nation to fall to China.

A pan-Indian women you haven't read about Dr Bindeshwar Pathak has restored dignity of thousands of Indian scavengers by developing a new toilet-disposal technology, Sulabh Shauchalaya, now recommended by even United Nations. He has also successfully bridged the caste divide in many villages of India.

Kashmiriyat and other betrayals of India There is a reason why India could never expel a foreign enemy. The likes of Alexander, Timur, Abdali or Nadir Shah only withdrew. India was a ripe picking for all and sundry--Shaka, Kushans, Huns, Arabs, Afghans and succeeding invaders. And that's because Indians of then and Indians of now could barely rise above their petty interests. India was and is NOT a single entity in their psychology.

Word almost similar against Sri Sri Ravishankar's have appeared in the Wire (through its editor Sidharth Bhatia), the Quint, the Scroll and of course National Herald.

Five essentials to nail lies on Veer Savarkar Be witness to the "Hate-Veer-Savarkar" moment in blogs and social-media posts on his 135th birth anniversary on May 28. As the creator of "Hindutva" philosophy, the annual reviling of the man would be done in unison by TheLiars, Squint, Srolls and Duff-Posts; besides editorial pieces in "Journalism of Courage." In essence, these hacks and compromised academicians would take recourse to five issues to revile the man.

Why Mainstream Media wants to keep you "uneducated" There is a good reason to believe that mainstream English newspapers in India keep masses uneducated. Most of it stems from bias. A lot has also to do because journos themselves are uneducated. They can't speak or write on any subject coherently. At best they are quote-renters. At worse, remotely controlled by compromised bosses, politically aligned. The whiff of money and power also keeps them drugged.

How Rani of Jhansi escaped the Nehruvian hammer of oblivion I happened to watch "Manikarnika--The Queen of Jhansi" in theatre the other day. Kangana Ranaut as the protagonist was a force of purity and leaping flame. Fleeting were the images of India's War of Independence of 1857 of which she was a leading light. It shook the East India Company and led to India's formal takeover by the British crown.

You scroll down articles of either Christophe Jaffrelot or Ashutosh Varshney and get the drift. Jaffrelot is more scholarly and dense; Varshney more sound and less substance. Both worked each other out badly.

No Mr. Omar Abdullah, nation would back Tathagata Roy on Kashmir There is a crying need to trifurcate the state of Jammu and Kashmir into Jammu, Ladakh and Kashmir, tearing apart the 1954 Presidential decree that prohibits the reduction or increase in the present boundaries of state. Article 370 and 35A were introduced to protect the "cultural integrity" of the state, which has only meant that cultural tyranny of the Valley as against the largely Hindu and Buddhist ethos.

Appeasement lay at the root of it. History seems set to repeat itself and it would, unless it's dealt with firmly and decisively. As citizens, we would be no less responsible for our indifference.

Pulwama Attack: India can't resort to "water war" The dastardly Pulwama attack has again led to talks of India abrogating the Indus Water Treaty of 1960 and waging a "water war" against Pakistan to bring it to its knees, since diplomacy seems to have had no effect on the rogue nation. India seethes for revenge and turning the taps dry on water-scarce Pakistan seems an easier way to the hot-heads though it's an option that is in the realms of fantasy.

Assam's NRC: All you need to know and which media doesn't tell you You need to know that this exercise has been mandated by the Supreme Court (and not Modi government); that it's just a draft; that no NRC exercise has been taken up after 1951 (sic); that Congress had itself promised so in the Assam Accord of 1985; and that Mamata Banerjee back in 2005 had herself wanted the illegal Bangladesh immigrants identified.

Why is Indian media losing sleep over Justice KM Joseph The danger is acute. Supreme Court seems to be exercising its overreach; it's getting into the crosshairs of executive, that's government. A showdown is not far off. As the SC/ST Act has shown, the government is prepared to reverse a SC ruling when it suspects an intrusion into their authority and responsibility. More such repeats could happen.

"Jumla_Man": Why reviling Modi isn't working Lately, there has been a particular surge in branding Modi as a "Jumla_Man". Twitter abounds in hashtags such as Jumla, Feku, Jumlanomics, JumlaMan, Jumla Diwas, Jumla Maharaj, National Pheku Diwas and National Jumla Day. Everyday on WhatsApp you come across an image portraying Modi as a "feku."

Why Moody's lack credibility Moody's Credit Ratings Agency, who is being investigated by the US Justice Department, is being quoted with relish by Indian newspapers on its view against "intolerance" in India. Given lawsuits and pending investigations against them, shouldn't a better discretion is required from Indian media?

Remembering Nehru & his "Himalayan blunders" Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru (the title of Pandit is a little incongruous for a sworn secularist) passed away on this day (May 27), 54 years ago in 1964. His larger than life image though has only lately begun to be put in perspective. A lot of it has to do with social media for it loosened the grip of mainstream media and academics in controlling the narrative, hiding the ugly and sprucing up the good.

A fly on the wall of Akhilesh Yadav, Mayawati Mayawati and Akhilesh Yadav haven't found their voice since Exit Polls. Mayawati hasn't tweeted once; Akhilesh has tweeted only twice - that too no words only photo-ops with AAP and BSP leaders. That's unusual silence from two biggies of Uttar Pradesh. I mean for nearly two decades, it was baton-passing between SP and BSP.

What Pranab wanted us to pay heed to on Hedgewar When Pranab da visited the very place where RSS was founded and said "Today I came here to pay my respect and homage" to Hedgewar, he wanted his countrymen to brush up their information on the great man: That he refused to accept sweets on Queen Victoria's coronation day in his school; that he was expelled for exhorting students to say 'Vande Mataram' in high school; that he threw bomb at a police station while still only 18.

Wish Barkha Dutt had spoken to my "piddi" So these offenders who had held a noose for Smriti Irani were now upholding a garland for Gehlot. Such is their moral fibre. They wouldn't have written a line questioning the educational qualification of a Sonia Gandhi, Jayalalitha, Rabri Devi, Mayawati, a Phoolan Devi or a Karunanidhi. But bring on Irani or Modi and see their daggers under the cloak.

Why Lutyens Media has blanked Modi on "AP Special Status"? As of now, 11 states in India have the Special Category Status (SCS): Assam, Jammu and Kashmir, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Sikkim, Himachal Pradesh, Meghalya, Tripura, Uttarakhand and Mizoram. Under SCS, 90 per cent of funds is allocated as grants which need not be paid back. Such states also enjoy concessions in excise and custom duties, income tax rates and corporate tax rates.

Rahul needs to know of Mahatma Gandhi & Capitalists For all his piety, love and reliance on non-violence and ahimsa, it's one of history's indisputable facts that Mahatma Gandhi relied heavily on Indian capitalists' funds to keep the Congress going in pre-Independence days. Today, when we hear Rahul Gandhi shriek "Suit-Boot ki sarkar" as a barb to Narendra Modi and his NDA government, it seems so improper.

The day it chose to make a lead headline of the opposition's reject of the Triple Talaq Bill in the Rajya Sabha, Ms Pande extols Pt Nehru for the good work he has done in "incremental" changes in the society. Is his party Congress stalling or going for "incremental" change in the status of women in the society?

Indians can't leave India to their politicians or professors India can go wrong any moment. It could be an ecological disaster or a hostile nuclear-armed neighbourhood. It could be the lava of a largely young nation which frustrated at lack of jobs or coma of our judiciary could bury us all under a thick carpet of violence and breakdown. We surely can't leave it to our politicians and professors.

Modi, "triple talaq" and a brazen Congress As per the 2011 Census data, 13.5 Muslim women are married before they turn 15. The ratio rises to nearly 50 per cent for Muslim women getting married between 14-19 years. The child thus "transferred" at a fragile age is unlikely to resist the patriarchal order, from the one of father to the new one of husband. Such a "captive" audience would do as the overarching men in the family would ask them to do. Love, set and match.

Spot the link between Amnesty and Ramya After Amnesty International was booked for sedition by Karnataka government in India, all hell broke loose. The media portrayed it as another assault on freedom of speech. Close on its heels, actress-cum-politician Ramya visited Pakistan and said "it's not all hell." Again a sedition case was filed. In neither of the instances, ruling party BjP was involved.

But discerners see no sign from them on standing next to the brave and beleaguered Indian army. Their human rights begin and end on Kathua; there is never a word of praise when our jawans gun down a terrorist; never a drop of tear for their martyrdom or wailing widows.

This was the first time Taliban were face to face with the other side, the government-appointed Afghanistan High Peace Council, in the "Moscow Format" multilateral meeting which lasted less than three hours and was only aimed at kick-starting peace talks.

On the parameters set out by Facebook, this is clearly a Fake News. RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat never said the "small business" are suffering; and even if he thought so, he never addressed it to the government.

So far, I believed in the pictures of Rahul Gandhi, skull cap and all, in Iftar party breaking his fast, so to speak, at sunset during a day in the Ramadan month. His remarks that Congress is a party of Muslims. Now, I read he said Tuesday in Indore that his party is one of Hinduism.

Indian Muslims: Look at Congress manifesto to know if they stand by you Congress had nominated only 27 Muslim candidates in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections-a paltry 5.6 per cent of its total candidates. This wasn't true only of the remote-controlled Manmohan Singh's government of UPA 1 and UPA 2 between 2004-2014 - even under Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi very few Muslim candidates were nominated by the Congress in Lok Sabha polls.

Lynchings: Activism or populism by Supreme Court? The fear is, judiciary is increasingly suspected of courting populism. When judges address press conference; when it opens its doors in midnight (not Karnataka, this is about Karti Chidambaram being granted relief at Madras High Court judge's residence), when judiciary addresses "adda" of a newspaper, it's suspected of PR, showcasing itself in better light than its brothers-in-arm, executive and judiciary.

Horrid twist to Modi's gift of cows to Rwanda So Muslims can live without polygamy but they can't without beef. What logic is this? Especially when beef-eating is not mandatory in Quran (I am not even quoting Rizvi who says cow-meat is "haraam" in Islam). Just imagine the outpouring of goodwill if Muslims went public with the intention of forsaking beef. It would bridge the divide like nothing else in this country.

Beware Muslims, you're led astray like cattle by media The latest scientific report from the ongoing World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos asks beef consumers to cut down on its consumption and improve their life-span by 5 to 7%. Red meat means higher cholesterol and blood pressure, both of which can lead to heart disease and stroke, and deliver few benefits by way of fiber and potassium. Beans and Peas are excellent alternatives to beef.

Spot the pattern in Gauri Lankesh, Kathua and Unnao Brinda Karat of CPI (M) has suffered from amnesia in accusing BJP leaders of complicity-by-support in the Kathua and Unnao rape incidents in an edit piece in The Hindu on Friday. The thing most common in amnesia of course is memory loss--hopefully temporary in Brinda's case though with the Left-Liberal-Media gang you could be sure it's more likely a front to their shameless lies and propaganda.

Thank God Congress-JDS; for there is Indian Express Karnataka is important to Indians in many respects: it's a template for opposition unity; alligators and hippos sunning together. The 6.41-crore people of the state have suffered a thousand cuts; being treated no better than cattle. First, made to lock horns; then kiss each other's back and finally, left to numbness inside a deep freezer. A 37-seat party chief was hoisted as Chief Minister in a 224-seat state.

Deepawali defiance has a grave message Deepawali is second to none in a Hindu calendar, carrying an ethical lesson on good lording over the evil in the form of their supreme deity, Ram. Tragically, the news in newspapers is about seizing of firecrackers, violations and arrests, with the same sense of foreboding as bomb-attacks in our cities, seizures of cache of rifles, machine guns or handcuffed terrorists. A classic case of solutions being worse than the malady.

Joke is on Siddaramaiah; he and his loyalists are now BJP's B team!!! The joke is on Siddaramaiah. The former Karnataka chief minister had dubbed Janata Dal (Secular) as the B team of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the run-up to the Karnataka elections last month. It would appear that he and his supporting MLAs and ministers today snugly fit the inscription as BJP's B team themselves!!!

Nobody has come out in support of 10 percent reservation bill that the Modi government has sought for economically backward classes. We the readers are left with four major antipathies: (a) It's an election gimmick; (b) It's a "jumla"; (c) It's breach of the 50 percent reservation quota; (d) It provides quota on economic criteria. All of them agree: It wouldn't stand the judicial scrutiny.

JW Marriott sacked Kochhar on fear of hurting "local" sentiments-and their profits--in the Islamic state.

That makes the claim of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)of a "Congress-Mukt-Bharat (Congress-free India) a real one.

Congress and Left now wouldn't remember the summer of '59 While Congress and Left roll together in the bed for the 2019 General Elections, the love birds of today bear little resemblance to the two fighting crows of 1959. Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru had then dismissed the first elected government of Kerala scandalously, putting aside all norms of democratic conventions and as facts were to emerge later, not a little with the help of CIA and its funding.

Indian Media and the judiciary canard Newspapers would speculate on the "allegations" whether the Chief Justice of India ought to be impeached or not but you would never see them beat one's own brains whether the four "dissenting" SC judges have themselves invited an impeachment motion on their press conference earlier this year (as opined by former SC judge RS Sodhi).

Capital woes of garbage in India India generates 62 million tonnes of trash every year by its nearly 400 million people living in urban India, now the world's third-largest garbage accumulator. The World Bank sees a 240-percent rise in it by 2026. Now hold your breath (pun intended); nearly 45 million tonnes of it is untreated. Put it this way, it amounts to nearly 3 million trucks that, if laid in a row, would span halfway between the earth and the moon.

Russia needs to be a India-China mediator Both India's foreign and defence ministers are meeting their Chinese counterparts in different parts of the world in order to defuse the freezing relations. It's time it went beyond photo-ops.

How Lutyens' Medi shielded Rahul Gandhi on his lies It's not the first time--the Lutyens' media never nails down Rahul Gandhi on his lies. Mr Gandhi knows he can lie with impunity and the English MSM would gush and swoon. There was never a word against his mother Sonia Gandhi for over two decades. NOT ONE WORD. There is none against Rahul Gandhi in the last five years. You can watch this video of Jaitley's speech of Wednesday and judge for yourself.

The gushing pro-Imran lobby now wouldn't ask for "proof and evidence" His swooning and gushing crowd in India would go berserk now that Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan has acknowledged his country has terror groups and that the "Naya Pakistan" wouldn't allow them to function with impunity on its soil. They wouldn't bother to seek "proof and evidence" of this resolve unlike Balakot.

Two issues which could bring Rahul Gandhi's campaign to a grinding halt An early call in the day would be taken by Election Commission if Rahul Gandhi indeed could contest the 2019 general elections after scrutinizing his nomination papers in Amethi. Separate complaints filed in this regard claim that Rahul Gandhi had declared himself a British citizen in the United Kingdom in 2004. As per the Representation of People's Act 1951, an individual who is not an Indian citizen can't contest elections.

Who's doing the PR for Dolkun Isa There's been much hue and cry in world media over India's denial to Uyghur leader Dolkun Isa a visa to India for a conference in Dharamshala. The critics term it as bowing down to China's wishes. But is it weakness or prudence? What if China also starts hosting India's rebels from northeast and Kashmir?

'57 Mutiny Day: It's modern relevance On the 159th anniversary of India's First War of Independence 1857, commonly belittled as the Great Mutiny, we see a striking similarity in West's methods in terms of creating a phobia, drumming up false charges and leaving in its wake a hostile local populace.

On Manish Tewari and his innocence on "what's news" On the HRD's move on "fake news", now jettisoned, the strategy of Mainstream Media (MSM) has been two-pronged: One, it's an assault on freedom of press (yawn); two, government must define what's "news'.

Digvijay is only a continuation; it began with Savarkar Congress leader Digvijay Singh's attempt to create the bogey of Hindu terrorism and dragging RSS into it is nothing new. In his classic book, The Men Who Killed Gandhi, celebrated writer Manohar Malgonkar, mentions how Veer Savarkar who was to Hindu Mahasabha what Gandhi was to Congress--was wrongly implicated in the Gandhi murder trial. Malgonkar dropped more than a hint that it was Congress government

Why Indians have short memory and how it puts their lives at risk People don't remember because in-your-face newspapers decide that for you. They decide what you remember and what you don't. Often what they hide is more relevant than what they choose to reveal.

Digvijay Singh is not the only "saffron terror" mongerer It's Digvijay Singh's moment of truth on "saffron terror." Sadhvi Pragya probably would make him pay for it in Bhopal. There are many though who wouldn't be called to account. Let's name them too and hold them up in public eye.

Keep these questions in your quiver against suspect media in Modi 2.0 As 2019 Lok Sabha polls unroll, I want you to look at the faces in the image above. Ask them a few simple questions on social media. Most likely they won't reply. But you would know not to trust them. It's important as Prime Minister Narendra Modi gets set for his second term. It's important they lose respect in your eyes for they have set a matrix and don't allow readers to come out of it. Your ignorance is their strength.

India's politicians are for polls, not people We are all wary of politicians. Deep in our hearts we know they are populists. All they want is to win elections. They could lie endlessly and shamelessly, as Rahul Gandhi often does, and be sure that their darbaris, such as Lutyens Media, would turn a blind eye. Or if you are a BJP, the issues of corruption and Ram Janmabhoomi temple is only limited to manifestoes

Indian state can no longer ignore Kerala and its growing Islamic State (IS) recruits Indeed of around 100 Indian radicalized youths who have joined Islamic State (IS), at least half of them have come from Kerala. The southern state, which supplies labour forces in millions to Muslim countries, has geographical proximity to Gulf states that are known transit points to IS-held areas. The growing radicalization of youth in Kerala is for real.
