Ahead of UK visit Narendra Modi again targets British : this time for  Naga insurgency


New Delhi. Narendra modi's world vision becomes clearer - day by day . Extending the Shashi Tharoor's argument of "reparation from British" and Keith Vaz's  demand of "return of Kohinoor" Modi now blames former colonialist and modern day neo-colonialist for fomenting Naga insurgency in north eastern region of India, bordering Myanmar and China.
On the occasion of signing of historic "Naga peace accord" Modi put forward a new " Naga Narrative" which nullifies earlier narratives of " Unique Naga history", "An Independent Nagaland " "Nagalism", " Naga Sovereignty" and "Greater Nagaland".  He squarely blamed British for keeping Nagas isolated and insulated from rest of India. He said Naga insurgency was a British conspiracy and was only an extension of their "divide and rule" policy.
In presence of West backed insurgent group "National Socialist Council of  Nagaland"(NSCN-IM) chief T. Muivah,  Modi said, " It is a legacy of the British Rule. The colonial rulers had, by design, kept the Nagas isolated and insulated. They propagated terrible myths about Nagas in the rest of the country. They deliberately suppressed the reality that the Nagas were an extremely evolved society. They also spread negative ideas about the rest of India amongst Naga people. This was part of the well known policy of divide and rule of the colonial rulers." 

And all these harsh words towards British (and Baptists) were spoken in the presence of  almost all Naga insurgent leadership, who still talk in terms of India versus Nagaland. Though Modi did not mention Baptist church by name, the tone and tenor of his address was quite clear. He blamed the foreign powers  for driving a wedge between Nagas and Indian people. He mentioned Nagas as proud people and guardians of India's eastern frontiers. His message was clear- as a part and parcel of India, Nagaland and Nagas can dream of a secure and bright future. He said, "You are also the guardians of our eastern frontiers and our gateway to the world beyond." 
Muivah , who till yesterday , (and who knows even now), advocated idea of  Naga Nation and Greater Nagaland was listening to  Modi in silence. Muivah tried to invoke Mahatma Gandhi in support his idea of Naga Nation. Some how "Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi" gives an impression  that Gandhi was sympathetic to independent  Nagaland . Modi might be aware or unaware of the Gandhi's stand. Nevertheless he said seconded Muivah's assersation that if Gandhi had  lived today Naga problem would have been solved. In Modi's view Gandhi's legacy would have made Nagas and other Indians -one people.
It may be recalled that Modi's ideal and  BJP's ideologue Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay in his presidential speech to national convention of Jan Sangh held in Calicut in 1967 said that Congress government's wrong policies fuelling separatist tendencies in north east region. He said, " today we are having to reap its ill-fruits. Creation of a separate Naga Sate for a population of just three lakhs has greatly encouraged these separatist trends. And foreign missionaries in the region have been doing their worst to incite disruptive forces.
The government has been holding prolonged negotiation with the underground Nagas, But no fruitful outcome is yet in sight . Meanwhile, it has been reported that these Nagas are hobnobbing with communist China . Outburst of sporadic violence also have continued. Manipur particularly has seen an intensification of such activity. Obviously, the extremist section is availing of the present interlude only to prepare for a bigger revolt. The government of India must be extremely vigilant. It should consciously exert to  isolate the rebels and deal with them sternly."
It would be in place to mention here that half of the population of the state comprises of Hindu Nagas. New Delhi's dialogue with Nagaland till now has been exclusively through the medium of the Baptist Mission. The Hindus tribes have never been given the recognition due to them. This must change. Their interests and rights also must be safeguarded."
These are the words spoken 50 years ago; in the meantime the demography of state completely changed . Thanks to Baptists Church, the state is now "Christ Land" with 99 per cent Christians. Indigenous  religion and culture are preserved only in a few villages . They are  like " Indian reserves" in United States.
Modi's guiding organisation Rashtriya Swayam Sevak Sangh (RSS) started its activities in north east region only in seventies. But it was too late. Nevertheless, today Church is on back foot, conversion has slowed down and indigenous people are asserting their  identities . In changing world realities, with imperialists and colonialist on retreat,  Modi can  change ground situation in the region. Indian people owe a lot to innocent animist tribals of this region.

Details of Naga peace accord is not yet disclosed. One hopes that accord would facilitate full integration of Nagas in the national mainstream.

Shashi Tharoor set Nrendra Modi's UK visit agenda


New Delhi. Seldom it happens .But in India it happens quite often, when a voice emerges from an unexpected quarter . "2+2= 4" economist Manmohan Singh praised British colonialist in his Oxford speech in 2005. But a sane and rare voice in Congress, Shashi Tharoor resorted to some plain talking. In fact Shashi was echoing the words of Great old man of Indian nationalism Dada Bhai Nauroji ( Poverty and Un-British rule in India). A century later Indians can say that it was not Un-British at all . It was very much British in its cruelty and exploitation.
Modi should enquire about the statue of Dadabahi which is awaiting installation.Modi should make it a point to press on Prime minister Cameron to grant a prime location in London for the statue.The grand old man would mock the West Minister colonialists. 

Narendra Modi should emulate Shashi Tharoor during UK visit


New Delhi. Simply praising Shahi Tharoor for his Oxford lecture is not enough, Narendra Modi should emulate him during his forthcoming UK visit.

Colour Revolution would begin with a war cry -"Narendra Modi is a thief"


New Delhi. Thieves are desperate, they want  to steal the most precious Modi asset  ' a corruption/ scam free' governance . In a sense, thieves, foreign and domestic, would try to reenact Moscow December 2011. There is no dearth of fifth/sixth columnist and 'pussy riots' in India . They are only buying time to strike at a right moment . Soon after Modi's historic election victory, some pro west analyst termed the result as "stolen mandate".
Manufactured scams like Lalitgate etc are only a pretext and today if Sushma Swaraj is on the hit list it is only because of the fact that conspirators are aware that targeting Modi would not be easy. He still commands support of Indian people and has will power to thwart any conspiracy.
To brand national leaders as thief is not a new thing in India. In cold war era opposition including Modi's Jan Sangh, coined a slogan- " gali gali men shor hai, Indira Gandhi chor hai " ( in every street, there is a  rumbling- Indira Gandhi is a thief). Later in 1989, a congress deserter V P Singh orchestrated anti Rajiv Gandhi campaign - " Rajiv Gandhi is a Swiss bank account holder in which Bofors graft money has been  deposited. He is a chor (thief)".
Campaign against Indira resulted in imposition of emergency in 1975. And campaign against Rajiv dislodged him from power. After a sustained character assassination campaign Rajiv , deprived of vital security, was assassinated. And what is wonder of wonders- Sonia joined hands with V P Singh to counter Atal Bihari Vahpayee's government .
Putin survived Moscow-2011, and in fact emerged stronger out of west engineered crisis. Would Modi be able to perform the same feat in a possible colour  revolution. No one can say for sure. In some respect, Modi is weaker than Putin, though on some other counts he is stronger than Putin.
He has enough time to take counter measures. He, like Putin, tamed Ford Foundation and some of foreign funded NGOs and checked infiltratioin of 'Economic Hit Men' in government apparatus. But pro West Media and Oxbridge mercenaries still remain a major challenge .

"Modi has left the stage" - New phrase of International diplomacy

Forget about Elvis Presley or Madonna. No one cares where they were/ are. The latest phrase in the international diplomacy is " Narendra Modi has left the stage" or "left the building";  in fact " he flew back home ".
But the audiences are still chanting- Modi, Modi at the venue. 

Narendra Modi : Mystery Man of international diplomacy is talking of Mackinder/ Dugin ?


New Delhi/ Varanasi. The mystery is here to stay and it only thickened in Ufa when Narendra Modi delivered his press statement in Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit. Nearly after 45 years, India joined a security block ,the  SCO, that too along with her estranged sibling Pakistan. Earlier India was in friendship treaty with erstwhile Soviet Union in 1970s. Paradoxically, Narendra Modi's party (then Jan Sangh) was highly critical of this friendship treaty initiated by Indira Gandhi. Modi might have hit the street to oppose this treaty as a party program . But, now as "He-Indira Gandhi", he is striving for something very very big. BRICS and SCO are only a beginning.
                                     The mystery man of international diplomacy said at SCO something strange. One wonders whether this was solely his mental product or was a part of strategic thinking of Indian Foreign Office. Referring Asia/ Eurasia,  Modi said, "For the past few centuries, we have all looked away from the centre of this great landmass, towards the sea and other regions. The time has come to reach out to each other across this region."
                                                  Modi sounds like Halford Mackinder or Alexander Dugin ( the mystery man of Kremlin) .             "Land versus ocean" formulation was never heard in Indian foreign policy. 
                                                 It is not clear whether Modi was referring the domination of ocean powers , England and United States, who heralded era of Imperialism and Colonialism, 17th-18th century onward. But India and China  know quite well what ocean powers did to them.
                                                Perhaps Modi's "land vs. ocean" formulation was benign one. He was only emphasizing the need of connectivity among central and south Asian countries;  but in the era of new cold war one can not say for sure.
                                                 What Mackinder said or Dugin is saying,  is so bizarre for common man. For Indians, who know or care little about geostrategy,  it is as if someone were talking about  Mars. Nevertheless , some Indian ancient tales and myths can provide some clues.
                                                 Lord Rama's Ayodhya was land and Demon Ravana's  Lanka was ocean.  Rama and his monkey army built stone bridge to cross the ocean to  invade golden Lanka and rescue Sita. After destroying Ravana's empire the Rama army returned back to landmass .  The first thing the Lord did was something strange .  He partially destroyed  the bridge by hitting it with bow-end (Dhanushkodi). One can argue the Lord meant - Land should remain land , ocean should remain ocean.
                                                  Then there is something sinister with the ocean- it is audacious, uncaring and threatening. Perhaps for this reason Sage Agastya drank the ocean! 
                                                    Modi talks about Vasudhaiva kutumbakam ( whole world is one family) and Vishwaguru (world teacher) role for India . And Vishwaguru should teach that  Landmass and ocean can live together in peace and harmony.

Narendra Modi, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping are on the same page : foreign funded NGOs feeling heat


New Delhi. India, Russia and China have become a "triangle" as far as dealing with the foreign funded NGOs  is concerned and Narendra Modi, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping appear to be on the same page. As  soon as Modi landed in New Delhi after his  successful BRICS and SCO summit visits, sleuths of the CBI raided Mumbai premises of  Teesta Setalvad and her husband Javed, who received funds from Ford Foundation .  A few hours later it was announced that  leading global "charity", the Ford Foundation ,  has frozen $4 million in funding to India. The aid was meant for "poor and needy people". In Orwellian language the "five star activists"are poor and needy .
For the past few weeks , Pro West media and US sympathisers  were busy in circulating the news that Modi government's crackdown on NGOs is result of lack of communication between Ministry of Home affairs and Ministry of External Affairs. We were told that Prime Minister's Office was not involved in the decision. And when US officials including New Delhi based ambassador Richard Verma lodged a protest with the PMO, the latter  asked a report from the Home Ministry  and was about to remove Ford Foundation from "watch list".
But the  development proves that Modi is immune to outside pressure and arm twisting. He is not Manmohan Singh who was willing to do anything to please the masters.
The fact is that Modi survived the foreign funded NGOs. He faced, all these years, the smear campaign launched or engineered by these  organisations. If he is not in Sabarmati jail it is because of hundreds of  millions of voters of India who elected him as Prime Minister . After the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, foreign funded  NGOs, for a while,  kept low profile but in recent months they came out of hibernation and are again engaged in old dirty game to discredit and weaken the Modi government . Modi is all aware that"Gujarat riot industry"is still very well in business .

A rabid Modi critic, dwarfish (intellectually) Pankaj Misha was early to note the mindset of Modi . He observed, quite  rightly, that Modi, Putin and Xi were on the same page.
 In an article"Rise of the Chest-Thumpers",  he mentioned , " In all these countries [ India, Russia and China] , a crackdown on nongovernmental organisations- usually denounced as handmaidens of the West- and greater intolerance of dissent have accompanied a fresh attempt at mass ideological indoctrination.........In all these cases, the authority, prestige and mystique of the state is being refurbished through personality cult . "
The HMV Mishra is not happy with the Triangle governments, who are only exercising their sovereign rights to defend the national interest and  resist foreign interferences through NGOs.
