War fronts and a tiny valley

If a food minister from Delhi unexpectedly descended on this tiny valley surrounded on all sides by 7 mountain ranges and started talking about godowns and food grain sufficiency,my gut feeling says that an economic blockade is just around the corner.Back in the '40s the Japanese militarists had learnt that Imphal Valley was just primed for suffocating-strangulation of an economic blockade;now,in this 21st Century, where every progressive people are rushing towards the post-modernist worldview,the Indian leaders,steeped in despicable Nazi worldview,are planning to emulate the notorious militarists of a bygone era.

Just like this,if a recently-untouchable 2nd in the line of the Afghani Taliban hierarchy was given visa,invited and made to rub shoulders with celebrities and thinkers of the world in a trendy 5 star hotel,that too,in Goa(Sun and beaches!Man!!),it's meant to proclaim the shooting down of another top leader of Haqqani networks in the outskirts of Islamabad(Nov 10).

Why in the world should I begin to draw all the contrary conclusions!

It's because we are dealing with a sublime concept called the MAYA!!Remember we are in the periphery of the Great Land of Maya.Beware folks!

I have 3 things in mind.

1)If the Congress party VP did not wilfully stray off the normal course of electioneering to link up ISI of Pakistan and Muzaffarnager,nobody can have an inkling that the shooting down of the Haqqani leader is directly related to Muzaffarnagar.

Similarly,if the Afghani Taliban leader was not given visa and invited to an event organized by the venerable
Tehelka,nobody can have an inkling that Muzaffarnager,Haqqani and Taliban all are made to point towards this tiny valley of Imphal.

Why?

Remember all these started with a story in Tehelka?

I have the main story here.Another equally important one here.

2)As detailed in my last post,even the US Navy SEAls were made to go in for a hasty(and so,by the nature of their job,purposeless) raid for the perpetrator of the Kenyan mall carnage and,by using the office of the DGP,Manipur makes it point to hint that all these continent-arching efforts are meant for consumption in this tiny valley(my last post).

3)The first ever terror attack in China happened in Tienanmen Square when Uighur militants from Xinjiang drove their gasoline-loaded car to the pedestrians and then blowing up the car in flame(Oct 28).Within days,a series of mysterious bomb blasts rocked Imphal valley.I suspect the actual planters of the bombs were kept in the dark of how their handiwork would be linked up with of the Tienanmen Sqauare's.But some unseen hands, nonetheless,manipulated them to plant the bombs just in right time in Imphal valley.

Again,we have learnt that the Tienanmen Square's attack was made to point a finger towards this tiny valley.

To my mind,a common string binds up all these 3 developments.They are saying--we would even order a hasty(and,thus,purposeless)Navy SEAL raid,battle all the Talibans of the world and bomb the whole of Tienanmen Square to pulp to bring the warfront to Imphal Valley.(Is this doable?Isn't it a desperate reaction to the sudden realisation that Indian State is caught in a crosscurrents of mighty geo-political forces which is slowly but surely dragging it towards to multi-front war?Can they shift these warfronts to Imphal valley?)And Prof KV Thomas has just taken the first step.We know the good Prof was obeying New Delhi's order to undertake the pre-emptive move to shake off its responsibility--they would say we have trying to build up whole lot of new godowns for buffer stocks of food grains--but we have been overtaken by this economic blockade--now, it's its between you and hill communities--we are helpless.But to a dispassionate observer,Prof KV Thomas visit have the actual effect of announcing the feverishly-planned foisting of the warfront to this tiny valley.Because the coming economic blockade is meant to to be carried over to Telengana,Nagalim and Clause 3 of the Constitution of the Indian Union.

To my mind, a mother of all economic blockades is coming to this valley sooner than later.

I made a mistake in my first update.It was not an attempt;they actually have my password.But sheer luck prevented them to log into my account.They chose a timing when I'm usually offline but last evening I was so eager to read something interesting and so,went online.As they were trying to log in with my password when I was already logged into my account Google actually prevented them to get in.It's sheer luck--they even know when I'm usually offline.As they have all my passwords,it's clear that they have thoroughly hacked into my computer.

I also think that the date of hack is also not less significant.Yesterday was the day when elected leaders of the Telegus in the floor of their State Assembly chose to reject the forced balkanization of their homeland on the orders from New Delhi.

I'm also publishing a screenshot of the email from Google.

Wahhabi and Manipur's leadership

This morning we read news of Silent village.

Right now,at night,we read the news of the Union cabinet decision for creation of Telengana.

It's not a coincidence--NSCN(IM) have the prior information about this cabinet decision.This only points to where we are heading--Nagalim.

But we must also read these 2 news together with another news--the inexplicable release of Mr Jaganmohon Reddy from jail.

Between this inexplicable release and foot dragging in the working of group of minsiters(GOM) leading to the votes in the both houses of parliament,New Delhi have still a face-saving retreat route.We have to factor in this scenario also because Nagalim will result in war and the Indian state is still under active preparation for it--it's not yet ready.

The most striking feature of tonight's cabinet decision is its timing--it's quite clear that it's in retaliation of the Wahhabi attacks(incidentally,still in progress in Keran sector of Kashmir)in the run up to the recent National Integration Council(my last post).And it's squarely aimed for consumption by the collective leadership of Manipur's 'revolution'(next to my last post). Would this leadership take the Wahhabi's nurturing of constituents within the mainstream Indian society as contributing to their 'revolution'(my last post)?Or,would they bite the New Delhi's bait of letting them branding the Wahhabi as the absolute untouchable?

To my mind,tonight's cabinet decision is everything to do with  finding out these answers.Telengana and Nagalim will be dependent on these answers.

UPDATE
06-10-2013

The just-concluded US Navy SEAL's raid in Somalia targeting the perpetrators of the Kenyan mall carnage again highlights the message that they are the terrorists--they are the absolute untouchables.Coming amidst the overarching domestic problem of the shutting down of the US government,we see the glimpse of the state of urgency with which they are sending out the message--they are the absolute untouchables.(They are,in fact, so in an emergency mode that they don't even bother to save the poor DGP of Manipur looking so pathetically out of place,in forcing him to talk of Al Qaeda!)

Should we,a society of puny 2 something million,be bothered with this message?

To answer this question,we need to focus to that part of the world which is consumed by the epic clash of 2 stories--the story of Arabia vs the story of Israel.Ideally,the powerful nations of the West(particularly the US) should have stood outside of this clash.

But,to the misfortune of the whole world,the American people(together with the whole of the West)have been enchanted with the story of Israel.(So,when we hear the terms like 'asymmetric','terrorist' we should note that they are loaded words coined by enchanted mind).In fact,they are so much enchanted that they are prepared to antagonize a sizable population of the world,popularly known as the Arab world.Again,unfortunately for the whole world,the enchanted West is proving to be so competitive that the adherents of the story of Arabia are being boxed into a such a tight corner that no room is left for them to react,let's say,in a 'non-asymmetric' or 'non-terrorist' way.

This situation have pitchforked the fringe sect like the Wahhabi in the centrestage of World affair today.

Though in the centrestage they are still the fringe element.What significance we have to note in them is that they are symptoms of the massive and bottomless despair of the whole of the adherents of the story of Arabia.Their defeat in competing with the story of Israel is so total and complete that they have no other option than to look for some actors who have a reasonably good chance to stand up as a countervailing force to the West.That points to China.

As such,they are not anti-India.But their last option is to prop up a reasonably possible countervailing force to the West and in trying to reach their goal they cannot risk the chance of anybody propping up India against China.To them,India is the only last obstacle standing in the way to their last option.

So,we find them nurturing constituents within the mainstream Indian society to do a 'Bangledesh' to the Indian state.

Do we,the puny society of 2 something million,have anything to do with all these developments?

Besides nurturing such constituents,if they seek to dovetail their activities with the numerous insurgencies within India,it should be in the realm of meeting of strategic interest,which is generally shorn of such loaded terms like story of Israel,asymmetric,terrorism and what else,untouchables!!

Ed Snowden and a 'Haiku' of a new world order

I like the Snowden principle:

--I believe in the principle declared at Nuremberg in 1945: “Individuals have international duties which transcend the national obligations of obedience. Therefore individual citizens have the duty to violate domestic laws to prevent crimes against peace and humanity from occurring.”
Accordingly, I did what I believed right and began a campaign to correct this wrongdoing. I did not seek to enrich myself. I did not seek to sell US secrets. I did not partner with any foreign government to guarantee my safety. Instead, I took what I knew to the public, so what affects all of us can be discussed by all of us in the light of day, and I asked the world for justice--

Just as Xi Jinping and Barack Obama began their summit meeting in California,Ed Snowden went public with his startling revealation of the scale of the NSA snooping on American citizen.We found him holed up in a Hong Kong hotel.These make people to speculate that Ed is a Chinese spy.Just when US pressure on HK to extradite him reached its crescendo,he quitely slipped away aboard the official plane of the Venezuelan President.This again threw up a fresh spade of speculation that he might seek asylum in Venezuela,just like Wikileaks,Julian Assange.Then,he dramatically resurfaced at Moscow International Airport,where he spent for several weeks,as they did in a Hollywood movie!From there he shot off request for asylum to more than 20 countries,including India.In India's case,its official spokseman of the External Affairs Ministry made it a point to publicly turn down the request.

All these read like the drama in a John le Carre novel and it's always prudent not to venture out to comment on anything remotely related with John le Carre!

But the chemical weapons controversy in Syria presents us with a pattern.This episode witnessed the initiative wrestled out of US in the high stake international arena like the Middle East.Wrestled out by whom?Outwardly visible imageries prompt us us to name 'Russia'.But it's a common knowledge that Russia has neither the will nor the resources to stand up to the West,especially the USA.Then?

Trying to answer this,we do come face to face with an Oriental sublimity!In the Snowden saga it begins with a country in focus,then drags in several countries and finally,folds up with Russia.This time it actually begins with Russia,which,when read together with the Snowden saga,certainly points to that particular country.Let's not name any name and leave it as it is--an Oriental riddle!!

Riddle it is,softly caressing at the dawning of a fresh meaning,just like a delicate poem,nay,a haiku! Here it is-- the 'haiku'of a new world order!!


Postscript:

In the sub-continental context,didn't Godhra mark the beginning of a 'new world order'in Indian polity?To my mind,it's the starting point of the manifestation of the true will of the Indian people,which is inherently seeped in Nazi worldview.It turned out that this true will of the Indian people had been temporarily been glossed over by a generation led by JL Nehru,riding on the wave of euphoria released by 2nd World War,De-colonization and Karl Marx.

The correct reading of the present situation in India is that the vast majority of the Indian mainstream society accepts Godhra as a necessary evil to make the minorities to fall in line(in RSS-speak,to force all the minorities to accept themselves as being 'culturally Hindu).Thus,it's legitimate for all the minorities to think that 'Godhra' is actually a work-in-progress component of a larger game.There is room for the minorities to think otherwise if the just concluded National Integration Council had taken up the following burning agenda:

1)To find ways and means to put Narendra Modi on trial on charges of genocide and crime against humanity before International Court of Justice or a specially constituted international jury.

2)To discuss and accept that the 'Homecoming' event in Imphal(September 9) is a sinister attempt to split the Manipuri society and consequently,to engineer a fatricidal war,just like that happened in Muzaffarnager(September 7).

To my mind,the Indian state has been properly warned by the co-ordinated Wahhabi attacks in Kenya,Pakistan and Kashmir itself in the run up to the just concluded National Integration council.The scale of the co-ordination of the attacks clearly leads us to the possibility of constituents being already crystallized within the mainstream Indian society which are struggling to break out of the world order(defined by Godhra),doing a 'Bangladesh' to the Indian state in the process.

Delusion,cult and leaders

It is with great pain to reconcile  myself with the irrefutable signals(which are visible to an ordianary newspaper-reading layman) that most of the Manipur's 'revolutionary' leaders cannot see beyond the tangible.

Coming to an example,it now turns out that they are genuinely incapable of  seeing the intangible behind the issue of Nagalim.All that they are capable of is to grapple with the tangible like meeting up the people managing the campaign for Nagalim,talking with them and making friends with them.That's problem solving of political kind(not to mention of 'revolutionary' kind!),according to them.

Leaders('revolutionary' or otherwise)who cannot see beyond the tangible--how we have come to this pass.It breaks my heart.

To my mind,the mess we are in solidly points to a crucial implantation from outside.This implantation is not unique to Manipuri society.Nazism from Gangetic plains have been radiating to all sides by first making such implantations to all the societies surrounding them.

Implantation?It's in the form of a societal playing field,which,in particular,in NE,is oiled by freebies from New Delhi.This playing field,in the main,is characterized by the supremacy of the doctrine of 'relative truths'.For
example,it's a universally accepted truth--"Don't look at the wife of the neighbour".But in the implanted playing field,they would say--"It's good and acceptable but if your neighbour is a Dalit,it is quite ok to eye his wife".This points to multiple truths,which,in effect,implies the existence of multiple realities.Coaxing the whole players of the implanted playing field to come to terms with the existence of multiple realities tantamounts to making them to start  quarelling with the reality surrounding them.So,here,we have the whole players of the implanted playing field,in our case,the whole population of Manipuri society,in constant quarrel with the reality surrounding them--in short,they are in the delirium of an overwhelming delusion.

Such deluded population demands the coming up of leaders who can see beyond the tangible aspects of the implanted playing field and show the path to break out of the great delusion.

But,sadly,most of the 'revolutionary'leaders of Manipur turn out to be very keen and very eager players themselves in the implanted playing field,which,I would like to emphasize,is nicely oiled by the freebies from New Delhi.This shows that the 'revolutionary' leaders,like the lay populace,are also in constant quarrel with the reality surrounding them.

To add woes to the already tormented  Manipuri society,grey heads in New Delhi do have a fairly correct readings of the status of these deluded leaders of Manipur's 'revolution'.They are in an actively attack mode,cooking up games of tweaks and prods(my last post).Decision on Mountain Strike Force on 16th of July + Appointment of Nagaland Governor as Governor of Manipur on the 29th of July + the announcement of Telengana on the 30th of July is the latest game of tweaks and prods but in a massive scale.They are planning to keep it boiling for several months,possibly upto the announcement of next parliamentary elections.Thus keeping all the things boiling for several months they want to constantly torment the souls of the deluded 'revolutionary' leaders of Manipur with the jarring question--'If Telengana becomes a reality,can Nagalim be far behind?'As the deluded leaders can't see beyond the tangible of Nagalim and being constantly prodded by the immensity of upheavals brought up by this constant boil,their ongoing and constant quarrel with reality will intensify manifold.This might force these deluded leaders to withdraw further into their comfortable shell.As they begin wihtdrawing progressively from the troublesome reality,they are most likely to pronounce this--'Let's go slow on all programs and activities but instead focus on purifying ourselves so as to make us worthy for the challenge ahead'.If they come down to this level,we know that there is the emergence of cult leaders within the ranks of collective leadership of Manipur's 'revolution'.In case the grey heads in New Delhi are able to prod the deluded leaders of Manipur's 'revolution' to finally make the above pronouncement,then they are within reach of extremely tantalizing goal of locking up the collective leadership of Manipur's 'revolution' in permanent dysfunction.(If the majority of the seats in the collective leadership of Manipur's 'revolution' get occupied by these newly-minted cult leaders,then,it's inescapable that the collective leadership would be dysfunctional).

I must admit that this move,in itself,is a very smart move from the grey heads of New Delhi.



Post-scrip: In itself this is a very smart move but did the grey heads in New Delhi pull down the level of the working of the Indian polity just a tad below the organically tolerable limit of the body polity?We are squarely staring at a scenario where they have just pulled down the working level of the Indian polity at par with that of the deluded leaders of Manipur's 'revolution'.That low? Without hurting the body polity? This is totally intriguing to me.I'll keep a close watch on the developments of the coming weeks and I'll like to write a post on this subject.

Assam Rifles as Taliban and the game of tweaks and prods.

This time they acted really fast.

At around 1 in the morning of the 23rd of June 2013, a known Islamist militant outfit shot down 10 foreign mountain climbers in Gilgit Batistan region of Pakistan-controlled Kashmir.

Within the space of 2 hours,at around 3 in the morning,Assam Rifles troopers executed 6 cadres of a militant outfit(who ,it turned out,were previously lured into their custody) at the outskirts of Imphal.

Now, we need a backgrounder.The attack in Gilgit Batistan region was preceded by the shooting down of 2 policemen in busy Lalchowk area in Srinagar on the day before.If we remember that John Kerry,US Secy of State,landed in New Delhi on the same Sunday for the Indo-US Strategic Talk,then the two attacks neatly fell into their places.They gave notices to the US that when they are in strategic talks with India,they have to remember Kashmir issue is alive and kicking(and at the more subtle level,notices to both US and India to the effect that there are resourceful and very active parties interested in the strategic future of the region).It is to be noted here that the day after the Secy landed in New Delhi and while he was still there,there was another attack at the outskirts of Srinagar leaving 8 soldiers dead.

So far so good.But why should Assam Rifles troopers have to go an-eye-for-an-eye mode with  Taliban,that too,at the outskirts of Imphal?

1)One plausible reason is that the Indian State resorted to an-eye-for-an-eye mode with the Taliban as a fitting countermove to a supposed move from the Grand Coalition against Nazism.

Here,again,we need a little backgrounder.

It's a common knowledge that Kashmiri rebel space is being increasingly dominated by the ones with Islamist hues,some being said to have direct link with the Taliban and Al Qaeda.Aside of their doctrinal hues,their defining characteristic is that they are rebelling agianst the Indian State.In this light,Manipur's rebels,by virtue of their having the same defining characteristic,have the legitimate right to have a direct understanding with their Kashmiri counterparts in the sphere of big picture game plan of attacking their common enemy.It's an attempt to try to understand the question by standing well inside the domain of the rebels but,nonetheless,a valid proposition.

But this does not mean that they have agreed upon their doctrinal and tactical spheres.Thus,the carnage in the Gilgit Batistan region should not be construed as being condoned by the Grand Caolition against Nazism and by some of the rebel groups of Manipur.

And it's exactly here at this point where the execution of the 6 cadres by the Assam Rifles tries to make its presence felt--they are trying to spin the carnage at Gilgit Batistan to drive home the message that the Grand Coaliton against Nazism,more specically,some of the Manipur's rebel groups,are hand-in-hand with  Taliban and Al Qaeda.The Indian State,through its agency,the Asssam Rifles,goes into an-eye-for-an-eye mode with  Taliban and Al Qaeda to spin the message that some of Manipur's rebels go down to the levels of Taliban and Al Qaeda.B E A U T I F U L!!

2) But the more sinister reason is to add fuel to the already burning hot rivalries amongsth rebel groups of Manipur.By reacting to an incident happened in far away Gilgit Batistan in Imphal within the space of 2 hours(indicating to all concerned the amount of resources deployed and the extent of planning involved)they want to send out this message to those rebel groups which are not part of the Grand Coalition against Nazism--'Look,we have to do all these stuffs because some of your fellow rebel groups have ths overarching reach to go as far as Gilgit Batistan!'.After these they want these rebel groups to infer like this--'Oh! No, we are being left behind'.If they reach this far,the Indian State wants to achieve,at the worst case scenario,the  keeping of the fire of rivalry burning bright amongst the rebel groups of Manipur.At the best case scenario,the Indain State wants to sync with these particular rebel groups.They don't want to achieve this by  meeting them physically and talking with them.But by means of a sphisticated game of tweaks and prods,just like the case of economists trying to control inflation by tweaks and prods.

Beautiful,this time no pun.Right now,in front of our own eyes,a sophisticatred mind game is being played out.

Prominent recent trend: The Kashmiri rebels are becoming more efficient militarily.My last post mentioned the killing of 4 soldiers in an ambush near Srinager.This time 8 soldiers were killed in  an ambush at the outskirts of Srinagar itself.

Last words: Within the space 2 weeks the Indian Rupee plunged by more than a whopping 200 paisa touching nearly Rs 61 against the US Dollar.Can financials alone explain this?I don't think so.In my mind,wily invetors are beginning to factor in 'geo-politics'in India finance matters.

Another 'homecoming' and one watershed mark?

No,I don't mean to say that the 'homecoming'in itself represents a watershed mark in the Manipuri society.

But the stoic silence maintained by the Manipuri rebel groups as a response to the 'homecoming' might represent a watershed.

Manipur's rebel groups regularly collect huge amounts of 'donations',dictact do's and don'ts to whoever they it deem fit,even dish out death sentences,so on and so forth.All these are possible because they self-proclaim themselves to be the vanguard leading the people towards the revolution.They are so succesful in muscleiing in their presence in the Manipuri society that all the agencies of the Indian state including its military are made to stand up and watch all these proceedings from the sidelines.

But for the past one week a typical newspaper reader like me who tries to piece together all the publicly available patterns has been harassed by a very confusingly complete yet all the more meaningful silence from the part of the rebel groups vis a vis the 'homecoming'.Vanguards are supposed to be a proactive leaders but Manipur's self-proclaimed vanguards even fail to react to a very significant move from the the quarters of counter-insurgency agencies.

Does the past one week tell us that we are witnessing a watershed?

Do all the publicly available patterns point to the 'homecoming' day as the day one of the long road to obsolescence for the rebel groups?

Talking of publicly available patterns,as the 'homecoming' party was being organized in this tiny valley,there was a surprisingly deathly attack on the military in another valley on the North-westernmost border,leaving 4 soldiers death.

Is this a discernible pattern or just a coincidence?

Again,on the following day,there was another uncharacteristically deathly attack on the architect of a state-sponsored armed vigilante group,this one in the very heartland.

Is this another of those discernible pattern or just a freak coincidence?

But as someone who is constantly trying to check his emotions from clouding the patterns as they emerge,I completely fail to guard myself against the impact of another of those critical strategic missteps.This is making me sad.Now is just the right time to dig out old copies of the autobiography of Winston Churchill and go straight to the chapters where he told us about his lonely crusade against the appeasement of Nazi Germany.On the hindsight,we now know that this dour figure was the only soul left standing who was  perceptive enough to decode the danger of appeasing the Nazis thus saving the Western Civilization as we see today from the brink of being overwhelmed by Nazi Germany.

C'mon,folks,appeasement means self-destruction in slow motion.

Seijang-Sailent--the clash of the two Churns.


We have a legacy where the Ma-ngang,Luwang,Khuman and 4 other actors have all emerged as winners at the same time(just like the component actors of the societies of Naga and Kuki).

Isn't it the right time to get another set of actors,namely,Meetei,Naga and Kuki come up as winners at the same time?

More specifically,we have all the cues in our legacy to make both Seijang and Sailent winners at the same time?

But,right now, there are security personnel deployed in Seijang-Sailent sector.

So,what went wrong?

The security pesrsonnel deployed in Seijang and Sailent are the indicators of the slow and unobtrusive intrusion of the advancing Grand Churn of the Gangetic Plains.This Grand Churn is characterized by its zealous advocacy of Nazism as it driving force and,as such,is a great threat to the whole of humanity.As it turns out,the samller societies like the Nepalese are left clueless as how to handle this advancing Grand Churn,which nonetheless,fails not to send out ripple effects well across the Himalayas.So,in such unexpected places,like the Forbidden City,the threat of this slowly advancing Grand Churn is well perceived and as a result, appropriate counter-moves have been planned for.

More specifically,the recent intricately-planned visits of the President of India(my last post) and the Home Minister of India(my next to last post) pointed out to us that the present actors in New Delhi are deploying the Grand Churn as their mission-critical weapon.

But the game-changing thing,in my humble opinion,is that the corollary to what transpired in the above two visits reveals to us the practical clue--the only way to check this advancing Grand Churn is to field our own Churn,which might be of a smaller scale but noentheless possessing a throbbing life of its own.

Am I imagining things up?

To find the answer,we can look up at two instances.

1)The peoples,south of Vindhya,with a much-trumpeted racial contradiction in the paradigm of Dravidian vs Aryan,miserably fail to check mate the rolling in of the Grand Churn inside their  own turf.Considering all the plausible factors,I can find no other handicaps except their inability to field a competing Churn of their own.

2)Nepal,despite having a International boundary,is a living testimony of a ravaged society--ravaged by the rolling in the Grand Churn in full throttle.It's also the case of the Nepalese society having no clue as how to field a competing Churn of  their own.Seen in this light,any expenditure of precious time and energy in demanding an Indian Constitutional safeguard is not only a critical strategic misstep but a self-defeating exercise which would end up feeding,testing and ultimately,strenthening the Grand Churn of the Gangetic Plains.

Having come this far,here is the critical question--how about the scale of our own Churn? Would our small-scale Churn stand any chance in fighting the Grand Churn of the Gangetic Plains?

The recent developments in Asia answer this question--all Asian societies in our immediate neighbourhood correctly perceive the threat posed by the slowly advancing Great Churn of the Gangetic Plains,which,ultimately,results in the formation of the Grand Coalition against NAzism.

If our small-scale Churn makes the correct strategic steps to channelize all the pent-up uneasiness of the Asian societies behind it,it has a perfectly good chance of safeguarding its own turf by effectively fighting off the advancing Grand Churn of the Gangetic Plains.

In this sense,Seijang-Sailent is a momentous affair showing us that the clash of the two Churns have already begun which would result in regenerating our society empowering us to make both Seijang and Sailent winners at the same time.

Stoking the fire

Oh!My God!! Even the high office of the President is being pressed into service!!!

Seen in the context of the Feb 19 Khuzama declaration by the Indian Home Minsiter,Mr Sushil Kumar Shinde(my last post),the just concluded official visit of the Indian President to Imphal valley is to be seen in no other light than to see it as the stoking the fire.

When the President made it a point to specifically visit Adimjati institute in Imphal, that too,in a 2 day visit(15th and 16th April),the only point he meant to send out is that Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes can be controlled from Imphal Valley,a notion is which a complete anathema to the concept of Nagalim.

As such,the message of the President of India's visit is most  likely not to be lost in Hebron,Nagaland.

The message?

--Wage war against the Meeteis to gain Nagalim--

But the President of India's war-stoking official visit to Imphal Valley was not left unanswered.

On the 16th April,2013,in Beijing,Col Yang,the official spokesman of Ministry of Defense,China,all of a sudden,stood in front of a press conference,brandishing in his hand the first ever white paper on the status of the Chinese military.

The white paper said China has--

--850,000 officers in the Army

--235,000 officers in the Navy

--398,000 officers in the Airforce

The white paper also alluded to the existence of 2nd Artillery Division which command the country's nuclear arsenal,acting as a deterrence for any foul play by any other country.

Did Col Yang's sudden appearance mean to send out this message:

--Indian Nazy's modus operandi of expansionism by engineering inter-society and intra-society communal strife is a sure way of making a prostitute out of the essence of warfare itself--

Did Col Yang mean to say that China is ready to use its impressive military arsenal to stop this Nazism?


UPDATE
20-04-13

A platoon of Chinese People's Liberation Army established a temporary camp at what India claims to be 10 kms inside its territory at Daulat Beg,Ladakh.This happened at the night of 15th April 2013.

On the 17th of April India also sent its own army who set up their own temporary camp just 500 metres away from the PLA camp.

Despite one flag meeting,either side is not budging.

Now,the battle is joined.


On the 6th of January 2013,India initiated the first fighting of the first battle of the war so slowly but surely
developing war between itself and the GRand Coalition against Nazism.

I still think that it was not a well-planned or well-thoughtout initiation by India.It seemed to happen along this
scenario--'we don't plan it--but one thing leads to another,then to yet another--then,before we know it,it just
happens'.But whatever be the actual players and circumstance that led to the actual initiation,it had actually happened and the proverbial die has been cast.On that fateful day,India's military crossed over to the Pakistani territory and killed two Pakistani soldiers.Again,I still think that students of history would have hard times trying to find out what went wrong to the legendary and much-vaunted Indian patience on that day.Of course,I do have a theory of my own but I would defer writing about it in another full post,partly beacuse I'm so hardpressed to find time because of some personal reasons.

Exactly after 30 days,on the night of 6th Feb 2013,when Indian military again crossed over inside the territory yet another neighbouring country,Burma,it was a well-planned and well thought-out operation.They targetted a bridge insdie Burma.

To cap it all,the announcement by Indian political leadership to the effect that they had already initiated the first battle of the coming war happened on the 18th of February 2013 at Khuzama,Nagaland.The political leader was Mr Sushil Kumar Shinde,the Union Home Minsiter.For so many years,they had been continously but covertly instigating the Nagas against the Meiteis.But,now that the first battle had already been initiated,there is no point in doing it covertly.So,Mr Sushil Kumar Shinde finally lifted the veil and proclaimed publicly that the Meiteis are the real culprits behind the derailment of the what they term the Indo-Naga peace talk and the Nagas should go after the Meiteis' throat--the only saving grace is that Mr Shinde made the announcement under the garb of electioneering and without naming any names with the measured tone of
typical Indian diplomatese.

Having come ths far,we are at the risk of losing touch with the actual political developments around the 6th of January 2013 and so,I would list a few of them,though I have more than 20 of them listed on my desk.

-7th Jan:China said--'As a friend of both India and Pakistan,China wants the two-between themselves- resolve the ongoing battles along their borders'.Divested of diplomatese,China said it had a stake on how India carried on its battles and wars with Pakistan.I think it's the first official utterance from the Grand Coalition against Nazism.

-10th Jan:Japanese F15s were matched,plane by plane,by Chinese J10s over the East China Sea.

-11th Jan:India sent official diplomatic demarche to Pakistan.

-11th Jan:Malis rebels were at the gate of the capital city,which prompted bombings by French warplanes and subsequent deployment of French troops.

I think what had happened in East China Sea and Mali signifies the contours of the coming war,the first battle of which was initiated by India on the 6th of January 2013.

Who would welcome war and bloodshed?But,in case,if we take it as a necessary evil needed for course correcting the stream of history,which if allowed to continue in its current course,would wipe us out of the surface of this earth,it would be best for us to get prepared for it.So, we must talk of what impact would come to this tiny valley of ours in the near terms.

1)As already been noted earlier,Mr Sushil Kumar Shinde had already publicly exhorted the Nagas to go after the Meiteis' throat.So, the likes of the tragedy of Chandel in which a Manipuri film actress was publicly molested would visit us again--but with much more intensity and frequencies.I think massive upheavals are coming in our way in the coming months themselves.

What about the long-term political fallouts?As noted in my last post,the equilibrium-enabling political space,now symbolized by the Chief Minster,Mr Okram Ibobi,got a serious beating by the tragedy at Chandel.So,the significant but struggling political space would get further squeezed exponentially by the coming upheavals.

2)Simultaneously,there would be moves to tie down many more rebel groups to what India called peace talks,as was seen during the past several weeks in Imphal.

What's amazing is that such peace talks would have outsized impact on the health of the said equilibrium-enabling political space.This political space,now dominated by Mr Okram Ibobi,in spite of its inherent corruptions and con-man like players,have,at the least,the sanctity of the ballot box-the universal franchise.But,now,by virtue of the peace talks,the players of this political space would be forced to co-inhibit with emerging power centres which would be certainly legally and conventionally indefinable,resulting in the very crisis of indentity of this crucial political space.The rebel leaders engaged in peace talks would form various power centres within this equilibrium-enabling political space and as time goes on,would,as Jawaharlal Nehru talked of the emergence of Indian National Congress,seek more and more 'elbow rooms'.

The peace talks,wittingly or unwittingly,would have the exact impact of imploding the equilibrium-enabling political space,which is likley to be already bearing the full brunt of the squeeze applied from outside,initiated by the very powerful players like the Nagas.
