Pakistani Terrorism: its aim & how to re..
The terrorist attack on Mumbai is already a few days old. Thus, the journalistic emotions have died down and now this is the time to think hard about the Pakistani terrorism and its aim before we can think about how to respond. The journalists in the British media are making the mistake of trying to link the issue of Kashmir to this terrorism, while most of these Western journalists, including the English woman born in India Arundhuti Roy, have no idea about long history of Islam and the history...

Song of the Soul: Happiness
Staying happy, for everyone, is imperative. But what makes one happy? And having once attained that happiness how is one to sustain it? Since time immemorial, our civilizations have been in pursuit of happiness. All the religions and social systems discovered or invented were intended to make us happy. But, regrettably, even after conquering the moon and deploying satellites on other planetary bodies in our solar system, we are yet to attain that incessant happiness in our daily lives.Since ever...

1947: Dark age start in India - II
Bharat Gupt seems to tell us that the seat of knowledge is in the head; of wisdom, in the heart. We are sure to judge wrong if we do not feel right. Reading his highly sensitive and revealing book with never sagging zest and delight, I am reminded of what the great Greek Poet and Writer Aeschylus (524-454 BC) said in his Agamemnon in 458 BC:Wisdom Comes alone through suffering...

Global Financial Crisis and its Solution
The IMFs chief economist Olivier Blanchard has warned that the global financial crisis is set to worsen and that the situation will not improve until 2010; he also has said that the IMF did not have the funds to solve every economic problem. Massive withdrawals of investments from emerging countries could represent hundreds of billions of dollars, which is so significant that the IMF alone cannot counter them. The IMF had spent a fifth of its $250 billion fund in the first two weeks of November ...

War is now inside my home, not country
I am afraid now the war is raging inside my house and not on the countrys borders. My PM is telling me not to be afraid and to keep calm and maintain peace and harmony. He is not angry and his body language conveyed that everything is under control. But my PM has Z Plus security which is perhaps why he is not agitated. I am an ordinary citizen. How can I remain calm when my own house is on fire? - An anguished Indian, Naresh Kumar Jains letter to the PM published in The Hindu ...

Time we call spade a spade
On the night of 26Th November around 11.30, I was sitting online chatting with friends. Then, someone told me there has been terror attack on Mumbai. I thought it must be another bomb blast.

Later around 12 am, the same guy told me to watch TV. So, I switched on TV hesitantly, while my mind was thinking about t...

Indias Bungled Crisis Mgmt in Mumbai
Amidst the disastrous terrorist attack that took Mumbai, the commercial hub of India hostage to fear and uncertainty in one of its worst encounters ever, one big question that looms large is have we learnt our lessons yet? After so many past incidents, so many RED Alerts, be it the media, the government, the law and order or the security system, a question we need to ask is, Do we consider ourselves professionally mature and competent to handle such crisis situations?...

Islam needs to be defeated at every level
We have expounded several explanations of why and how the religion of peace has inflicted so much pain and suffering against the non-believers, let us look at a book titled: JIHÃD - THE ISLAMIC DOCTRINE OF PERMANENT WAR by Suhas Majumdar an Indian Hindu scholar. Majumdar refutes the very idea of the meaning of Jihad, and its contemporary interpretations by apologetics, and fundamentalists alike. For example: although Majumdar agrees that jihãd fi Sabilillahs literal meaning when translated does ...

Terrorism and our Response
Terrorists are products of a Terrorism producing Infrastructure. A Terrorism Producing Infrastructure is itself a product of an Ideology that creates such an infrastructure. Merely focusing our energies and attention to the business of identifying, targeting and neutralizing individual terrorists, or terrorist cells, or terrorist groups is an insufficient response to terrorism. Because, no sooner that one terrorist has been caught, put behind bars or killed, several others take his place. No soo...

1947: Dark age descended on India
I have just finished reading masterpiece of a book titled INDIA A Cultural Decline or Revival? by Bharat Gupt. The so-called educated people in India-usually pseudo-secular Indians with Western Education-take it for granted that Independence from the British Rule also ushered an era of cultural and social freedom in India. Bharat Gupt in this beautifully conceived and written book has carefully examined as to whether this is true or whether a dark age of cultural decline and barbarism descended...
