Persecution of Christians in Pakistan
I learnt from Richard Aldrich, professor of International Security, University of Warwick and an eminent authority on intelligence, that inquisitiveness about what cooks in neighbor’s pot and under his quilt was one of the primitive ingredients that went in making the science and art of intelligence.
Balochistan: Cruces of History- Part II

Shame at Sharm Al Sheikh : How Manmohan succumbed to US & Pak blackmail?
What was India doing at Sharm-al-Shyakh? Attending the Non- Aligned Nations Meet (NAM). What was Pakistan doing there? Also attending the NAM. The basic questions are: 1.

Indian Fault Lines: Perception and Reality
We live in an uncertain world, more so, in an uncertain country. Whatever is left of India after 1947 is supposed to be a ‘One India’ united imperishably by all the parameters of nationhood. This philosophical assertion and wishful thinking and perception of oneness have not stood the test of time, since 1947. The emotional [...]
Electoral Democracy or Hindutwa: Choice before BJP
The air was thick with speculation about the election process and expected and wished results. Lalu’s RJD, Paswans Lok Janshakti Party, Mulayam’s Samajwadi Party, Mayawati’s BSP, Jayalalitha’s AIADMK etc had prepared a wish list and expected mangoes to grow on coconut tree. They neither reaped the mango nor the coconut. The pragmatic regional party-Biju Janata [...]

Frakensheikh al Qaeda: CIA, ISI, Saudi creation blows back
Many analysts drew conclusions after 9/11, that US attack on terror in Afghanistan and Osama bin Laden’s flight to Afghan-Pakistan border had weakened the terror fountain head and it was matter of time the outfit was finished. Osama, who enjoys a charisma and thrills romanticized youths like Che Guevara did, survived in the most inaccessible [...]
The Warriors of Allah
Recent pronouncements by several US authorities, comments by US/UK security and intelligence experts and even some transparent Pakistani politicians expressed the likelihood of Taliban (al Qaeda backed) forces sweeping Pakistan and taking over political reins of the country. The desperate attitude of top Pakistani politicians indicate that in the face of Taliban, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (al Qaeda [...]
JAGORE.COM: The great Indian circus
The funniest ad in the idiot screen: ‘Aap election ke time par vote nehi dete hai to aap sho rahe hain.’ The young man with sprouting beard is not exactly pleading for awakening the people for exercising franchise. He is selling TATA Tea. TATA is a respected name in business world and he has the [...]

THE ABSURDITY OF BEING AN INDIAN
I avoid writing on politics. However, the sordid drama staged by A. R. Antulay in the Parliament provokes average Indians to ponder if we are living in a single nation, one country and one entity. The Indian National Congress, far from exhibiting dignity, behaved as faggots of treachery. All faggots end up in ashes. Hope [...]
