Inquilaab Zindabaad!!!!!!
Writing about someone who has been your first ideal in life, evokes lot of memories. I am talking about none other than Sardar Bhagatsingh. It has been 75 years since Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagatsingh sacrificed his life so that his beloved motherland be independent. Nobody symbolizes the same zeal of patriotism and dedication to one’s ideals as he does.
This blog is just a snapshot of his life.

There is a saying in marathi that a person’s intentions are clear from his cradle. Same was the case with him. There is a story that once his father saw him sitting alone in the field. When asked he replied of planning to sow guns so that more guns will grow and with them he will drive foreigners out of this country. He was just 5 years then.
After Jalianwala Baugh massacre, he visited the site and brought back ,blood stricken soil, which always reminded him of the injustice done to his people.

The ideals turned in to fervour and he decided to join revolutionary movement during his college days. The movement called Hindustan Republican Association had the who’s who of revolutionaries like Azad, Bismil, Ashfaqullah, Bhagvaticharan Vohra ,Sukhdev,
Yashpal, Durga Bhabhi and many others. Everybody was competing with each other so that he could prove his mettle for the country. It was really a “League of Extraordinary Gentleman & Woman.”

The revenge of Lalaji’s death pleased whole nation and convinced that blood still flowed in our veins and it could boil when struck. The culmination came on 8th April 1929, he along with Dutt exploded bombs in the assembly and voluntarily gave arrest. His arguments in the court and later on his long drawn fast to oppose ill treatment in jails made him a demi-god for youths. And finally on 23rd March 1931,when he kissed gallows, he became immortal in the memories of millions of people like us who still madly hope that India will once again achieve it’s old glory.

May a day come in our life when the city(Lahore) in which he martyred for this great cause be a part of India. And we see BHARAT MATA sitting on throne of eternal glory resplendent as never before.

INQUILAAB ZINDABAD !!!!!!!!!

Need for ATF (Anti Terrorist Force)
The events are taking a disturbing trend. Terrorists have started striking at any place according to their will be it Sarojini market or IISC or Varanasi. These disturbances can’t continue for long if we have to achieve a status of global superpower. Because a nation torn by ‘thousand mutinies’ cannot command respect of the world.

The best thing to happen due to 9/11 was US getting a Department of Homeland Security solely responsible for internal security. Although we have Home ministry at Delhi, the responsiblity to maintain internal law & order lies with a maze of security agencies.
India represents a case, worst affected by terrorism but has done little to protect it’s citizen lives.

The need of hour is to form a centralized ATF i.e Anti Terrorist Force which has pan-India authority & responsibility. We have totally confused & decentralized approach towards terrorism, while a large part of Army is stuck in a low intensity conflict in Kashmir + North East, naxalites are solely being delt by police while there are STF’s in some states.

So there should be an ATF which deals with terrorists be it mujahideen or Nagas or naxalites. It can select best officers from police & army on deputation. It will directly deal with RAW & IB regarding internal security. The benefits will not only be regarding centralized authority & accountability. But information can be processed faster with quicker decisions to avoid any eventuality. States will cry for their autonomy, but the need for all of us is to rise at this occasion above regional boundaries to deal with this global menace.

Anytime Army should decide about strategic matters like long term vision for security of India and how to prepare for it.While police must deal with day to day operational affairs. ATF can fulfill the need to deal with tactical affairs.

Because a peaceful state can only expect to grow at double digit growth rates of what we are dreaming of. Remember China clogged such high growth rates because it first placed it’s house in order.

Marxist-Muslim combine….
India is a land of contradictions it is said. We have lot of contradictions on our back.Here are some of them.
· India is the first country to have installed a democratically elected communist government in Kerala.
· India has the second largest muslim population in world but still people doubt our secularism.

But the blog is about the combination which is shaping up in India. All around the globe if one observes communism & Islam have been at loggerheads. Be it USSR vs Chechnya or China vs Xinjiang. Because both have imperialistic flavour and both watch nationalism with contempt.

Communism declares “Workers of world unite” casting aside national boundaries. Actually communists never viewed India as a nation but a collection of nationalities as Europe. They declared that India with so much diversity cannot be a nation and always derided our culture. The main reason behind communism not getting a wide acceptance.

Islam also views world in two halves-: Dar-ul-Harab & Dar-ul-Islam. Dar-ul-Islam is where shariat or Islamic law is followed and Harab where kaafirs rule the roost. Al-Qaida wants to convert all Harab to Dar-ul-Islam. They have a following throughout the world because nationalistic fervour is second to religion in Islam. (The same tendency is seen in opposing Vande Mataram because it is a prayer for motherland)

Strangely in India, communism & Islam have enjoyed a long drawn friendship. It came out strongly during Bush visit. When protests were organized throughout the country saying that he was a mass murderer by our comrades as well as muslims. But has American bombing killed any Indian muslim, unless he went all the way to Afghanistan to support Taliban. Iraq war is controversial but what Bush did in Afghan land should be supported because it cleansed the medieval rule of Taliban.

But it is the same way in which muslims here are more bothered about what is happening to their brethren in Palestine or Iran than in India. Same was the case with Khilafat movement which was formed for Khalifa of Turkey and not to drive British out of India. It actually sowed the seeds of partition by fanning communal passions of people like Jinnah. The communist, Samajwadis or RJD are commiting the same mistake by supporting such protests.

Communist are supporting these protest by keeping an eye on assembly elections which they have tilted through allowing illegal migration of Bangladeshis which are their voters. Officially there are 40 lac of illegal immigrants in West Bengal. It is time to teach both of them a lesson by ensuring that communist suffer their first ever defeat in WB which they have so illegally occupied.
