The battleline and the coming faultline:would they become collinear?

Within a few days of the public declarartion of the battleline, India also publicly leaped up on the comfortable lap of the US of A.Remember how the India's prime minister breathlessly announced the coming the American president to the 26th Jan ceremony while the Chinese troops were still in Pune.

As the US president was landing in New Delhi,the Houthi inusrgents in Yemen surrounded the Presidential Palace,trapping the president himself inside,who is a close ally of the USA.The message was quite clear---"Even if both US And India have banded together,we are still more than ready for battle".

Another 'we are also ready for battle' came out in full public view in yet another state visit--this time,the just concluded State visit of India's foreign minsiter to China.This is discernible in four different ways--

1)The same morning when India's foreign minsiter was to leave for Beijing,there was the test fire of the cannisterized version of the Agni 5 ICBM.And even the most naive knows  that Agni 5 is specially developed with China firmly in mind.

2)The next day when the Indian Foreign minister was settling down for business in Beijing,massive demonstrations mysteriously materialized in the streets of Hong Kong.

3)The sane day day,Maoists in Chhatisgarh suddenly attacked a police patrol party,killing two policemen.

4)We are still in the same day and this time around,a Lt Gen,commanding the 3rd Corp of India's military had had a narrow escape when his chopper crashed at his Corp headquarters at Dimapur.

To top it all,there was even a scenario of 'one crash' for 'another crash'!To avenge the chopper crash at Dimapur,there was a plane crash in Taiwan--a plane which had roughly 1/3 of its passengers as the Mainland Chinese.Incidentally,nearly 1/3 of the total passengers were also killed.(As the pilot of the plane was found killed still clutching the joystick,there is ground to believe that some malicious programs might have infected the onboard computers which,in turn,overided the manual commands of the pilot.This progam might be as stealthy and dangerous as Stuxnet,which was jointly written by US And Israeli governments,both thriving democracies in their respective regions!This time around,India,which is not only the largest democracy but also an IT powerhouse,might have contributed to the joint exercise of writing a plane killing computer virus!!).

Now,we come to the most intersting part.The plane crash was carefully timed to happen in the early hours of the 4th Feb '15.So,what's so special about the 4th of Feb?

It's the day on which there was a general strike in Manipur,which had taken everyone by surprise(because it was in support of a blockade of the Imphal-Moreh national highway and supporting a national highway blockade is unthinkable in the tortured political discourse of Manipur).More so,it was called by none other than one venerable organization which was born out of the massive protest against the then imminent territorial disintegrity of Manipur as the direct result of the Indo-Naga peace accord,more than a decade ago.

It's now clear that the plane crash in Taiwan was carefully timed to kill two birds with one stone--one,to avenge the chopper crash at Dimapur and,another,to serve as the symbolic counter-offensive to an offensive move happened on the 4th Feb ie the general strike.

So,the general strike on the 4th Feb was actually a very fine-grained offensive act.

The above statement is the embodiment of the enormous twist and turns inside the 'batteground Manipur',which most likely leaves everybody's head spinning.So,let's slow down a bit and re-started from the beginning.

1)The just concluded India's foreign minister's China visit was preambled by by the road blockade along the Imphal-Moreh national highway.The foreign minser was saying---"As I'm travelling towards the centre of the East,it's being graphically shown that Manipur's 'Nongpokthong' is at the mercy of New Delhi--we can shut it off completely or thrown it open ajar at the timing of our choosing".

2)But the Indian State achieved the blocading off the 'Nongpokthong' by letting the blockaders targetting one of its own arm--the Indian military.Isn't it the classic case of the spectacular execution of 'smudging the battleline' tactics?(my last post).

So,calling a general strike on the 4th Feb supporting the blockaders amounts to the acceptance of the principle of 'smudgign the battleline',isn't it? Really a queer case of organized valley groups supporting a hightway blockade in the hills,isn't it?

To unravel this seeming paradox we need to go back some week's timeline.There we will find out that one of the most easily overlooked news would make the most pronounced impact on the current state of the geo-political scenario.

Here is the most overlooked news.The students' wing of the most tortured agitation currrently active in Manipur gave a public demand for calling a special session of the State Legislative Assembly to discuss and enact a law tailored to their demands.New Delhi reacted almost immediately.It suddenly gave additional charge to the Manipur governor,which gave them the excuse for physical absence of the governor from Imphal for a prolonged duration.

What does it tell us? It tells us that New Delhi is expecting faultline to develop between the wishes of Manipuri people and the Constitution of India in the coming days.Seen in this light what had happened along the Imphal-Moreh national highway during Ms Sushma Swaraj visit to China is also a spadework by New Delhi--New Delhi is planning to nip the developing faultline by deploying various blocakades along the highways in the hills of Manipur.

Now comes the time to unravel the seeming paradox.Imagine someone trying to use both this spadework of New Delhi and genetic codes of the yet to be born faultline to creatre a scenario where the coming faultline would become collinaer with the already visble battleline.So,it's now clear that the seeming paradox contains a lot more deeper meanings in it.

Having come to this far,it's our duty to truthfully catalog of what have been unfolding in front of our own eyes.We are seeing the contours of a three-way fight.

1)One group is dreaming of casting a spell on the genetic codes of the yet to be born faultline so that it would not be inimical to the constitution of India.

2)The second group is fairly certain that any faultline would be inimical to the Constitution of India in due course of time and so,it should be nipped in the bud.

3)The third group is readying battleplans with both above two groups so that the coming faultline would become collinear with the already visible battleline.

The battleline and the 'Poireiton effect'.

The very same hand that made it happened the 'home coming ceremony' at the 1st Manipur Rifles banquet hall,Imphal on the 15th Dec 2014 also made the bomb exploded at the Mahatma Gandhi Avenue,Imphal the same morning--if weighed in the metrics of cold-bloodedness,it is much more cruel and,hence,much more condemnable than that of Peshawar's(16th Dec 2014),though the casualty is much less(two innocents killed and six injured).

The attempt was to get the battleline smudged beyond recognition.

Was the same 'smudge the battleline' strategy successfully deployed by Poireiton against Pakhangba,some 2000 years back?

It amazes me to no end in finding out that we need to go all the way to the great plains of the mighty Ganga to get the answer to the above question.

1)Just a few weeks back,the incumbent Bihar Chief Minister publicly said that all the upper class people(of Bihari society) are all foeigners.In a nutshell,the chief minister was tellng us that the vast mass of the downtrodden has been sleeping with the enemy since thousand of years but,yet,has not been successful in ascertaining where the battleline runs.For thousand of years(five to six thousands,according to their own estimate) the super intermittent series of 'smudge the battleline'
conspiracies of the 15th Dec kind has been impacting the chief minister's society.Seen in this light,what had happened in Imphal on the 15th of Dec is no ordinary conspiracy but the descendant of the one which has been rampaging the great plains of the mighty Ganga for thousand of years.

Are we trying to read too much from an occasional utterance of a chief minister(though I personally feel the chief minister was speaking for the vast downtrodden of the what is now called India)?

2) The answer is a big NO.

We need to go a little further north from the chief minister's place to see why we say that the answer is a big NO.In Nepal there is a living folk theatre playing all throuhgout the length and breadth of the country.It depicts the Nepali society's response to the threats coming from East,West,North and South.The play graphically describes how the Nepali society responds to the threats from the East,the West and the North.Then comes the South's turn.The play dutifully depicts the threat coming from the South.But their response to it? NIL.The play tells the dilemma of the Nepali Society's total inability to respond to the threats coming from the South.

In other words, the Nepali society is unable to draw a battleline to the South of their homeland.

Here,we can also visualize the super intermittent series of 'smudge the battleline' conspiracies of the 15th Dec kind impacting the Nepali Society with the result that even the present generation of Nepali society is still unable to ascertain where the battleline runs.

Having gone this far,we have definitely reached a place where we can have this breathtaking vistas of this constant tussle spanning thousands of years.Coming nearer home,it is also remarkably touching sight of how the tiny population of Manipur has been trying to draw the battleline with the West since at least 2000 years back.But the groups within its own society(present day sleeper cells) have been also successfully smudging the battleline for such a long time.

The lone figure who stood out in the vistas of this breathtaking sight is none other than Poireiton himself.Who was this man?Where did Poireiton stand in relation to the thousand of years old 'battleline smudging' conspiracies?

Still coming nearer home to this blog,what is the relationship between Poireiton and the 'box'(my last post)?Was Poireiton the architect of the 'box'?If not,then,was he the progenitor of the 'box'? Or,was he the ever fertile spring of inspirations for the conspiracies?

The quest for the answer of these profound questions have just reached the inflection point on the 15th Dec 2014.

Reaching the point,we must slacken our pace,take a deep breath and express thanks to the phenomenon of the rise of the Islamist,which,at any cost,should not be equated to the Taliban.I totally hate their carnage in Peshawar on the 16th Dec.I'm still at a loss to decipher how a grown up man could turn his loaded gun to a 10 years kid.This is totally revolting.But without the phenomenon of the rise of the Islamist,today's world would not have conversed with the concepts of 'asymmetric threat'.'asymmetric warfare'.Without the help of these concepts,we would not be able to reach the inflection point.

With the use of these concepts,we can now beautifully describe what,otherwise, is a bizarre encounter between Pakhangba and Poireiton.

1) Pakhangba 'asymmetrically' managed Poireiton's challenge.

2) The next logical deduction is that Poireiton is the embodiment of the 'asymmetric challenge' to the power centre at Kangla---the Manipuri nationhood.(Today's Imphal newspaper reports tell us in no uncertain terms how well entrenched and how resourceful this challenge still is).

3) Now comes the turn of the clear and presently useful deduction.The thousands of years old 'asymmetric challenge' to the Manipuri nationhood have publicly reared its ugly head on the 15th Dec 2014--that too,with a mammoth dose of symbolism,just at the vicinity of Kangla.

The status of the battleline--the 'box' and the two announcements

Something nasty happened inside the 'box'(my next to last post) and we read about it in the Imphal newspapers on the 3rd of Dec.Immediately after reading it, I,in view of the quantumn of the nastiness,had this premonition that it was the beginning of a new phase,a new stage.

We did not wait for long.After just two days we had seen what the new phase was.Mr Hafiz Saeed,in a rally,openly supported by the Govt of Pakistan,announced the beginning of the Jihad to liberate Kashmir.He also openly said war is imminent in the subcontinent.

Showing off the new characteristics of the just begun phase,the Jihad was actually initiated on the same day ie the 5th of Dec,that too,on the soils of Kashmi,in which 11 Indian security personnel were killed.

To shut out the fact the Jihad had already been initiated,the Army Chief cooly travelled to J&K and said they were the attacks on democracy and the poll process currently underway there.The Prime Minister also effortlessly glided to an election rally and said they were the attacks on democracy.They are trying to cast a smokescreen around the just begun Jihad.

Mr Saeed had also shown by actual deeds that people inside the 'box' has not got the stomach for revolution,for war.

The second announcement took place in Bangkok--also on the same day ie the 5th of Dec.

General Gun Maw,the deputy Army Chief of the Kachin Independent Army,announced that they did not trust the Burmese army and openly indicatded that it's the main stumbling block in bringing about a reconcialiation withn the Burmese society.

The General was actually giving interview to Associated Press.Associated Press? Should we forget that one of our own rebel leaders gave an interview to the same news orgnisation in HK some years back?Obviosly,they are in attack mode and in an eye for an eye strategy!

What's so striking about this General's interview is that the text of it is the exact copy of what had been put out as a press release in the Imphal newspapers on the 28th of Nov 2014 by the conglomerate of the Kuki rebel groups.In fact, the General was reading out the gist of that Imphal press release to an AP newsman!

Obviously,both the General and the conglomerate were following the script(pun intended!) prepared by  a mutual friend!!

And,today's Imphal newspapers also carry the news of Burmese Army.In a press staement issued by a Kuki student organisation it was stated for public consumption that four people from Churachadpur district were arrested by Burmese army on the 19th of Nov and handed them oveer to the police,which,in turn,detained them under Foreigners Act of the country.

This action of the Burmese army is also the beginning of a new phase.

It's a common knowledge along the Indo-Burma borders that the Kukis,from time immemorial,has had free movements for some kilometers insside territories of the both the coountries.This privilege is sanctified by a century old tribal customory laws,which are also generally accepted by the Burmese Army.Now,all of a sudden,Burmese Army disregarded the more or less accepted customary law along the Indo-Burma boundary and detained and formaly charged under law four Kukis from Churachandpur district.

In itself,it's a very significant development when read together with Gen Gun Maw interview in Bangkok and taking into account the fact that Manipuri rebels camps are located around New Somtal,which is mainly populated by the Kukis.We have already noted that both the Gen and the conglomerate of Kuki rebel groups are following a script prepared by India which shows that India is planning to use the Kukis to bust the Manipuri rebel camps.

It may be a little digression but it should be noted that 19th Nov 2014 is proving to be very significant date.On that day there was the massive protest in the streets of Ferguson,HK student leader was arrested for the first time,there was a huge commotion in front of my house(my next to last post),Kachin Independent Army headquartes at Laiza was attacked by Burmese Army killing 23 fighters,four Kukis from Churachadpur district were arrrested by the Burmese army.

On that day also,this blog talked about the 'box'!!

Quietly,the battleline gets active.

See how the idea of the Western style democracy as a panacea is under direct attack in the streets of Hong Kong,Ferguson and other cities of the US.

The idea that the Western style democracy is a panacea gets a serious drubbing in the streets of Ferguson and large cities of the US.As if to demonstrate that it's not the panacea as the students wrongly believe the Hong Kong police cleared the protest sites and arrested their leaders.

This is the direct attack on the West and its allies,including the largest democracy of the world,India, on the ideological front.

On the material front also,they are  under attack as well.

See how the Indian President traveled all the way to Tezpur,Assam to say they would use force while giving awards to a helicopter battalion,implying they would use air power.

The very next day,Maoist attacked an IAF helicopter,seriously injuring the pilot.

There were attacks and so,there would be counterattacks. Isn't it the dynamics of a battle?

Actually,I can't wait to have a glimpse of the battle plan of India and the West.

18th Nov 2014--the day the battleline was drawn publicly.

I can't wait to write this post.

Most of my posts are the outcomes of my efforts to connect the dots of varied patterns I have notices in course of my reading the news.But today I'm going to deal with something that I encountered first hand while I'm sitting in my housing,sipping green tea!

At around 12.30 pm,as I'm sipping a cup of green tea,there was a huge commotion outside my house,which stands by a State highway,near Keisampat bridge.At no time,there was someone clanging the public streetlamp post,which stands just at the edge of my homestead,barely 20 feet from where I sat.In between the clanging,there was this hoarse but young female voice,yelling at the top of her voice.Her voice,presumably hoarse from such yelling,was calling for the local meira paibis to come out.

I was amused and unconsciously muttering to myself--'No chance,madam,our meira paibis here are mostly concerned with all things remotely unconnected with public interests'!

Students were trying to storm the bastion of the status quo just across the Keisampat bridge.

Here,we need to go the news of the day and try to find out if there any pattern which relates to the students attempt to cross the Keisamapt bridge.

1)At around 7 in the morning there was an attempt to kidnap a top executive of a big pharma company from posh Banjara Hills area of Hyderabad.The man fled the scene after firing three shots from his AK 47 rifle.To my mind,it was not an attempt to kidnap but to show off an AK47 rifle in this psoh area,which the man did beautifully by leaving the rifle inside the Audi of the executive.An AK47 rifle in the Banjara Hills would cause a lot of stir,to say the least.I almost felt like cheering while reading the news--'Why did not the vanishing of a 18 years old Manipuri girl student cause any stir at the places of power that be,like the Banjara Hills'?

2) At around the same while I was sitting at my house sipping green tea,some groups of students actually succeeded in storming the legislative building in Hong Kong.Four students were arrested.

Hong Kong students succeeded while Manipuri students did not.Why we need make this comparison?

It's because the preceding day--the 18th of Nov--court injunctions started appearing on the streets of Hong Kong asking the students to vacate their protest site.Court injunctions started coming out just as two plane loads of PLA soldiers started landing in Pune.

As the two plane loads of PLA soldiers were landing in Pune,two significant things happened in Manipur--

1)There was an ambush on the Assam Rifles troopers,injuring 12 of them.

2)There was a public function protesting the rescinding of a law which forbids entry of outsiders in the state of Manipur(18th Nov 1950).During the course of this protest meet,the leaders also announced the temporary withdrawal of the ultimatum of the resumption agitation to re-instate the said law.The reason they gave for this withdrawal is to facilitate the unfolding of the Sa-ngai Festival!

What's most interesting is that if the announcement of the withdrawal of ultimatum carries any weight,the commotions outside my house this morning should not have happened.But it did happen,meaning there is an ongoing contradiction within the agitation.

This contradiction puts into sharp focus the two events--one in Imphal and the other,in Pune.In Pune,starting 18th of Nov,the two armies of India and China,went into an joint exercise,with the intent of bringing respect to each other.India wants China to respect it--not to challenge it.

Here,at Imphal,on the 18th of Nov,the main theme of the day was everything to do with groping in the dark inside the box erected by India--no question of challenging it.

So,the commotion outside my house morning,has everything to do to publicly show the two ways confronting us--one challenging India and the other,groping blindly inside the box erected by India.

On the 18th of Nov 2014,at Imphal,there was a publicly visible scene in which everybody sees who chooses which of the two ways.

In other words,on the 18th of Nov 2014,the battle line was so clearly drawn in full view of the public.

Rape as the weapon of combat?

Had there been no inexplicable episode of yet another resurfacing of the news of boxer Sarita,all these rapes would be the normal crimes of the day.

The first of those inexplicable episodes happened just when the Manipuri society was at the doorstep of Ningol Chakouba,which is not only totally woman-centric but also one of the most important festivals of Manipuri society.They chose just the right timing to taunt the Manipuri society--'We had started attacking your womenfolk at Incheon--what is your response?'

The second episode happened just a few days ago,close at the heels of the three successive rape cases within the space of seven days in Manipur and disappearance of a Manipuri girl student in Hyderabad.This resurfacing of the boxer Sarita story is intended to send out a loud and clear message to the Manipuri society--'See,there is common thread binding all these terrible crimes against your womenfolk'.

Today,they just gave the finishing touches to the loud and clear message by opening up another old wound--the Manorama rape and murder case.After sitting on the inquiry report for more than ten years,they are making mockery of justice system by submitting the report to the Supreme Court now.The primary purpose of this submission is to convey the graphic details of the brutal and merciless torture inflicted on the poor woman--their target being the larger Manipuri society.

If this is not the cruel taunt to the Manipuri society,what else is it?

Another facet of all these rapes is that they were carefully timed to happen to coincide with the public discussion on the subject 'Crime against women' organized by a woman NGO.As this NGO is widely believed to be inspired by the oldest rebel group of Manipur,we are staring at the posiibility of those rapes as being deployed as the combat weapons in the fierce competition amongst the rebel groups of Manipur.Or,is it some gangs, ejected out of the rebel groups, trying to create misunderstanding amongst the rebels by using the rapes?Thus,on a micro level,rape as the combat weapon deployed in the competition (or sowing of misunderstanding) amongst the rebel groups and ,at the macro level,deployed in taunting the whole of Manipuri society.

This shows that some groups are so consumed by the competition amongst themselves that they are being used as tools to taunt,to attack the society they themselves live in,the larger Manipuri society.

I don't like to go any further in this direction because it's too distasteful.But,as a concerned citizen,I'll try to to have a look at the anatomy of the chain of events.

As the world boxing body is involved,we can say there are players outside of India.As the Manipuri girl student disappeared in Hyderabad,we can also say that there players outside of Manipur but inside of India.And,as the three successive rapes in Manipur tell us,there are very active players within Manipur itself.

And,all of these players work in tandem.

But,rapes and organized groups of Manipur?

Organized groips,encompassing the rebel groups(together with gangs ejected out of them) in Manipur,flushed with funds skimmed from the yearly subsidy for the state of Manipur doled out by New Delh,are becoming  very powerrful.I think some of them are putting in a lot of resources to make those rapes happen.Let's take the case that happened at Tharoijam,near Imphal.It's plausible that those wanting the rape to happen have a very intimate knowledge that the particular boy had had an eye on the unfortunate nine years old minor girl.So,during the chosen timing when they want the rape to happen they put in a lot of resource to create a perfect conditon for a rape.Say,they also know  that the minor would go to the paddy field carrying tea for her mother.So they might work really hard to make the area holdiing the road the girl would take to be deserted.See how they might have worked meticulously to lure people,young,old,men or women,away from the area for quite an interval.I'm dealing with just one possibility that comes to my mind but I have absolutely no intention of trying to pierce open the innards of the sick minds.

But one thing is certain.This time they are really stooping too low.Too low.

What's so special about the 15th of Oct? Or,is it a riddle?

To my mind,it's a must to note that the following events took place on the 14th of Oct 14.

1)There was a major clash between the protestors and their opponents in the streets of Hong Kong.

2)Pakistani military officers called up their Indian counterparts on the hotline to discuss tension on the border and then,afterwards,opened fire targetting Indian border posts.

3)New Delhi heavily meddled in the working of the supposedly independent judiciary to convict 5 persons of raping a BPO female employee from NE.

4)NSCN(IM) chairman call on the Naga public to pray for just resumed Indo-Naga peace talk.

To my mind,all these 'events' were carefully timed to grab the newspapers'headlines of the following day ie,the 15th of Oct 2014. Again,it's a must to note that all these 'events' were 'planned' in the highest seats of powers in places spanning from Beijing,Islamabad,New Delhi etc.

So,what's so special about the date,the 15th of Oct?

For a Imphallite,it's easy to answer.We are,right now,in the midst of shut down called by the rebels of Manipur to mark this day as the national black day to commenorate the 15th of Oct 1949 when Manipur was merged into the Indian Union.

In this context,it's easy to read New Delhi's intention.As the Manipuris sat down,totally confined to their homes by the shut down,and start reading the newspapers,the first news that draw their attention might be the conviction of the rapists.So, as the rebels are protesting the merger of Manipur to the Indian Union,this particular news might carry across the message that Indian Union is a system that is rendering justice to the NE people,including the Manipuris.

But what about the intentions of Beijing and Islamabad?

Riddle of the riddles?

In my personal effort,I'll try to crack this riddle of the riddles.It goes like this--'People in the highest seats of power in both Beijing and Islamabad want to say that all the roads,for this particular moment of history,lead to a place where the 15th of October is marked as the national black day.'

Drama and Geopolitics: Of Saritas and vanishing riot police.

Who would not be moved by the tears of boxer Sarita at Incheon,South Korea? What a tragic drama on the award podium there!

But somethng more dramatic than Incheon's happened in Hong Kong at about the same time.

Just when the pro-democracy protestors' movement reached its crescendo,the riot police facing them off suddenly vanished form the the streets.Bewildered media persons covering the movement asked aloud--'What's happening?'.

So,what had happened there?

People in Beijing knew that the pro-democracy protestors came out in the streets just when Narendra Modi,the Indian prime minister,had started his US visit.Their protest reached its crescendo when Narendra Modi and Barack Obama had started their summit meeting in Washington.So,it's logical to infer that the protest would peter out as soon as Narendra Modi wraps up his US visit.Knowing this,Beijing lets riot policemen go off the streets when summit meeting between between Narendra Modi and Barack Obama started,which,in turn,produced the crescendo in the Hong Kong streets.Beijng's message is loud and clear: We know that the protest is a charade masterminded by the West(in connivance with India) and so, we are properly unworried.

We must hasten to say that Beijing's is actually the counter-message.So,what was the original message provoking this counter-message from Beijing?

The original message to Beijing from Narendra Modi and Barack Obama: We are two largest democracies and we will help pro-democracy protestors who would sweep across China throwing the Communist Party out of power.

Again,we must hasten to note that there is a constituent within the Hong Kong society who root for one person one vote political system.This constituent has been firmly in its place since the days when Hong Kong was adminsitered by the UK as its colony.

What's new now is that this constituent is so heavily infiltrated by the Western intelligence machineries that they can pull out massive demonstrators in the streets of Hong Kong at the timing of their choice.I vividly remember another smaller scale protest around 30th of June 2014 just when the then Indian Army chief started his China visit.

So,it's clear that they are wielding a tremendous power over HongKongers.

This same tremendous power comes into play at the award podium where Sarita,in convulsive tears,gave her bronze medal to Jina Park,the SOUTH KOREAN.Please note that we are giving emphasis the words South Korea.

In an indelible imagery,telecast live globally,there is this symbolism of great significance--Manipuri versus South Korean.Pre-Sarita dissater,the Manipuris,in general,love the Koreans.Post-Sarita disaster,it stands to reason that Manipuri fans are experiencing difficulties in connecting with Korean idols(because,you know,they are cheaters!!).

Such a feat from India,with a little help from the West!A feat it may be but where is the geopolitical implications in it?

Tremendous geoplotical implications.Here in Manipur,its inhibitants are in the process of defeating the soft powers of India,with a little help from Korea.Anybody who wants to fight India must learn to defeat its soft power.It's their most potent weapon.The Indians know this and they can't accept the fact that the Koreans are beating them in Manipur,which they consider to be their own turf.In this sense,the massive rigging exercises carried out at Incheon,is the invocation of the turf war paradigm to the unsuspecting Koreans,that too,by using Indian style below the belt tactics.

But how the West comes into picture at all?

This question becomes important because the actual dirty works of rigging were most likely be executed by them.As it's Asian Game,all the judges must be from the countries outside of Asia,ie, mostly from the West.It's reasonable to infer that they were asking the judges to rig the games 'for national security reason',which is as sacrosanct  as the eleventh commandment in Western citizenry's mind.      

We are mentioning 'national security' in the sense of preserving the reigning world order,of which,they are the undisputed custodian.If they,conniving with India,can help to maintain the status quo simply by rigging some games in Asia all the judges would not hesitate to rig every single game for the years to come.

But Manipur and the new world order? We must revsit the 'Grand Coaltion against Nazism'.

Having come this far,we have to acknowledge that this post is dangerously veering towards a conspiracy theory.To remedy this we must take note of the following 4 points:

1)Around the 20th Sept 14,the Indian foreign minister,Sushma Swaraj,was completely out of place when she delcared that the military faceoff in Chumar was resolved and the Chinese would withdraw their troops by the 30th Sept.She did this in New York before the world media.Normally,she would be ashamed that they could do nothing to check the alleged Chinese incursions and must be diligently avoiding the world media.Instead,she did say it was a great achievement!

Did she metaphorically say that they would get one great achievement on the 30th of Sept 14?

2)Every night at the New Delhi controlled radio station,AIR,Sarita was there announcing in stilted Hindi--'Hi,I'm Sarita from Manipur.Keep listening to AIR for the latest updates of the Incheon Asiad'.Why this sudden limelight bestowed on Sarita? Was it because she was the pre-detemined prey? It's the sure  case of shining the limelight on the prey for the purpose of multiplying the impact.

3)At around 4 pm of 30th Sept(ie,around 4 hours after the Sarita-Jina fight)the president of Indian himself started sending individual congratulatory letters to the athletes winning medals.This is the sure case of adding salt to the wound.The president himself was saying--'Come Sarita,flood the Korean Peninsula with your tears'.Heartless.

4)Now,as if on some cues,Union minsiters,are giving support to Sartia,thereby,intensifying the 'Manipuri Korean fight'.


UPDATE-1
06-10-14

I forgot to mention the 5th point.

How Narendra Modi repeatedly exhorted the rabidly nationalistic crowd at Madison  Square Garden to remember this point--'We must understand that Democracy is our greatest weapon'.

He was actually reaching out to demonstrators in Hong Kong to rise against Communist Chinese leadership.


UPDATE-2
07-10-14

I again made a mistake.

My first update should not be the 5th point.

Instead,it should be read as the last part of para 7 of the main body of the post.


UPDATE-3

So,it turns out that they had also the preliminary round of talk of NSCN(IM) on the 30th of Sept. I've been on the look out for the big meting between the PM and NSCN(IM) leaders and so,though,I read the news of the preliminary talk,I felt there was no particular significance on its timing.Now,here is the complete picture.

Sushma Swaraj mysteriously gave a lot of emphasis on the date, 30th Sept in New York,.

Then the following developments happened one after the another on that date ie, 30th of Sept.

-Summit meeting between between Narendra Modi and Barack Obama which pointedly referred to South China Sea,

-then,crescendo in the streets of Hong Kong,

-followed by the symbolic pitching of a Manipuri sports icon against a Korean at Incheon

-and now preliminary meeting between New Delhi and NSCN(IM0 on the same day.

Now ,we can see that the above developments represent a fully-formed pattern.

Pro Israel and pro West--the true face of the RSS and,of course,its disciplined soldier,Narendra Modi.

The just concluded session of the Indian parliament marks a watershed in its history of electoral politics.

It vehemently tried to dodge completely off discussing the then ongoing fight between the Israelis and the Palestinians.It took more than 7 days in deciding even to discuss the massacre of the Palestinians(mostly wmoen and children) by the state of the art war machines of the Israelis!

After the discussion,it comes to light that the 16th edition of the Indian parliament made a clean break from the tradition(its main architech being the first prime minsiter of India,JL Nehru) of consistently and officially supporting the Palestinians.Even in the queer paradigm of talk the talk diplomacy of India,that tradition had been a very conspicuos one.Now that tradition was decisively demolished.

The thickest of the 'bindis'(which screams--"I'm a Hindu") marks Ms Sushma Swaraj,the Indian foreign minister.And she also loves a dead language.She was very 'bold' standing there in the front of the media in proclaiming that India would not condemned either the Israelis or the Palestinians!We know 'boldness' is the trademark of Narendra Modi government(also see the 'boldness' of yet another lady minister,Ms Sitaraman in WTO)!!

So,in the end,the thickly-bindied Indian foreign minsiter makes the lesser mortals,like us,wiser more than 10x(guys in Google call it a moonshot!).Come,all the citizenry of the Globe--we should not condemn either the Israelis or the Palestinians.See also the flipside of the story--we should not support either the Israelis or the Palestinians!Great(or,is it moonshot?)lessons from a 'bold' Hindu!Who is a Hindu without being being philosophical with one leg firmly placed in the metaphysical world?

Apparently,Ms Swaraj is doing her bits to further the RSS vision of the Hindu domination of the Globe by first influencing the minds of the pundits and poets.Some pundits might even start writing an enlightening dissertation entitled 'Metaphysics in diplomacy--lessons from a thickly-bindied lady'!What about the poets? Well,well,let's think for a second.Eureka! Here it is--'Of Bindis and Moonshots'!!

But the hard reality always hit us hard.The just concluded session of the Indian parliament showed without any shred of doubt that India is fast becoming a beachhead of the West in this Asian part of the Globe.See how the US airforce started the first airstrike against the Islamic State militants in Iraq on the eve of the Quit India movement anniversary,that too,while Mr Chuck Hagel,the US foreign secretary was in New Delhi on an official visit.What did it try to convey?It,of course,showed by action that India is the newly-secured beachhead of the West in Asia.

And we all know that the West is the custodian of the reigning world order of the day.What is this world order?A world order when confronted with some people deploying state of the art war machines in the thickly populated urban area,have the morality of supporting the horrific assault with a weak rider that they should do it 'with precision'!Revolting morality,indeed.Mr John Kerry,like Ms Swaraj,was very 'bold' in publicly supporting the Israelis massacring 2000 people,mostly women and children,by saying--'Do it with precision'.2000 collateral deaths for trying to be 'in precision' in deploying state of the art war machines in a crowded urban area?It's the worldorder of the monsters.

But the Indian people,led by the RSS,has chosen to be not only part of that inhuman world order but also to serve as its beachhead in Asia to further strengthen it in this part of the Globe.This blogger totally hates this reigning worldorder.

This may be a quaint and lonely voice but this blogger strongly feels that the emerging and humane worldorder is laying its groundworks for a good fight.See how the Palestinians,completely trapped inside a small strip of land,called Gaza,had been trying to dictate the pace and terms of the ceasefire with the Israelis.They are trying to attain that all too important psychological edge in the fight.

This poor blogger welcomes it.

Of 18 and Himalayan scale.

The 'strong' Prime Minister of India has just made a retreat of Himalayan scale.

While everybody is solemnly paying homage to the martyrs of 18th of June in Imphal,they seem to have missed out on 2 extremely significant developments in other parts of the globe.

1) The kidnapping of 40 Indian workers in the Iraqi city of Mosul.

2) Later in the evening the announcement of postponement of Narendra Modi's scheduled visit to Japan.

To be very concise,it's realistic to infer that the Telengana effect would come in force only after Narendra Modi personally confers with the top leaders of USA and Japan.Then,there was this sudden (and extremely surprising) developments in Iraq.(Did those 'developments' start at around 10th of June?Is it any coincidence that on this day there was a memorial lecture in Imphal which was delivered by Prof Kamarulzaman Askandar,who is from a country which has been in the focus of media attention because of the vanishing of a Jumbo jet--Malaysia? And we must not fail to note here that these 'developments' are likely to make the Americans too busy for Narendra Modi,for that matter,any other Asian leaders).Then,the kidnapping of 40 Indian workers in the city of Mosul.Then,the sudden announcement of the postponement of Narendra Modi's scheduled Japan visit.

Seen in the light of the looming Telengana effect,isn't it a retreat of Himalayan scale on Modi's part?

The Indian people has just given a resounding mandate for a strong leader.But this strong leader's first move is actually a retreat!

This is certainly anti-climactic,to say the least.

And,to top it all,the anti-climax does come a little too soon--that is,in matter of weeks!!

Form and propaganda--RSS and Manipur.

We are facing with the likely scenario of the mainstreaming of the RSS in the Indian society.

In case the still unfolding scenario is proven right,we can expect a direction-shifting change in the Indian
society itself and,as its impact,a groundbreaking perception of what Indian-ness is in all the neighbouring
societies.

So, we need to correctly asses what the RSS is all about.RSS is an idealistic social organisation--
propaganda.RSS is an apolitical organisation--propaganda.RSS works hard quietly on the ground and produces a lot of admirable cadres--good information.One such admirable cadre,named Nathuram Godse,shot Mohandas K.Gandhi to death--good information.Does RSS equal Hindutva?Is RSS fascist?Is RSS really intent on converting India a nation of Hindu supremacist?

These are the forms(and the propaganda) which the RSS itself tries to portray,or,are percolated down to the general populace through the agencies of popular media and institutions.We need to pierce through these forms and propaganda to get in touch with the real contents inside and try to make an assessment out of it.

In my humble opinion,the sine quo non of the RSS is the ongoing and Himalayan(to borrow an expression from Mohandas K,Gandhi)endeavour to divest Eugenics out of the Indian Social Dynamics(my last post).

Graphically speaking,the prime intent of the RSS is to yank Eugenics out of Indian social dynamics and insert the idea of Hindutva in its place.

They know that if Eugenics continue to serve as the main plank of the Indian social dynamics,it would become untenable in this modern age.So, they are toiling hard on the ground to replace Eugenics with Hindutva.In this sense,RSS is becoming the saviour of the evil Indian social dynamics.

Here again,we are coming face to face with an irony.RSS,in trying to replace Eugenics with Hindutva,comes in direct confrontations with the established Indian social system.But they are not fighting to dislodge the established social system and thereby,usher into a brave new world.Insterad,they are fighting to maintain the
status quo of the Indian social dynamics but with a renewed vigour.

In this sense,for nearly a century,there have been a constant but a low-key tussle between the RSS and the
established Indian social system.With the spectacular victory of Narendra Modi,himself a RSS Pracharak,do we see a tipping point  in favour of the RSS?

In other words,the tipping point in the nearly century old tussle has seen its manifestations in the spectacular victory of Narendra Modi.In this sense,Narendra Modi is only symbol of the tipping point--another form but not another propaganda.

Nearer home,this tipping point have brought about several outward manifestations,like the installation of a
person as the junior Home Minister,who hails from a place recently administered by the Ministry of External
Affairs,New Delhi,the likely final push for Nagalim and,here comes the heartbreaking one,a bomb blast in Imphal targetting unarmed migrant workers,killliing 2 of them and injuring scores of them.

Well,the bomb blast have already made everybody bewildered--why is this happening at all? But we need to pull ourselves up and try to find answers urgently--not in a whodunit or blamegame paradigm but in a holistic study  of our own social dynamics which might be responsible for producing such incidents.

Let's look at the 3 sectors of our society which,at present, are getting maximum investments.

1)Education:

It's one social sector which gets the maximum grassroot investments and attention.Such investments catapults many young men and women to the thriving urban centres like Bangalore.But majority of them can only touch the outward forms associated with such thriving urban centres,like how the young executives of the fast-moving corporations socialize but not with the innner substance,like the life-giving corporate culture.Our society puts in a whole lot of heavy investments but still our young men and women can only connect with the outward forms--not the substance.

2)Police:

Well,in this sector,there is not grassroot-level investments but they are getting massive investments from New Delhi.In the course of their duties,they come in direct contact with the rebels of Manipur.Of course,there is
always high dose of romanticism associated with rebels of any hue.Romanticsm born out of the martyrs who are always intent on swimming against the current,challenging the status quo.But our young police men and women can only connect with  only one part of the outward form of such romanticism,like the rebels sustaining themselves with the 'donations'from the general populace.If the rebels can seek donations,why can't we?This is a new phenomenon in our society.

3)Rebels:

Everybody knows that the rebels are working extremely hard to channelize a whole lot of investments on
themselves!Surprisingly,they have already become the masters of big money power games--just like,big money lenders and feudallords.In the context of all such interactions,it is becoming clearer by the day that the majority of the rebels also can connect with the outward form of the legacy of rebellion of Manipur.

It's hearbreaking to note that the social sectors which receive the highest amount of investments actually
churn out young men and women who are content with only celebrating the form.

In this stage of our social development,we have come to face to face with the incidents like the bombing of the unarmed migrant workers.

Are such bombings the extreme cases of the celebrations of the form?

Virtual Ganga and the real sectarian war--India's virtual reality game

With 6 weeks into the hijacking of the Malaysian MH370 jetliner,it is now quite clear that India is attempting to let a virtual Ganga flow gushing not only through Malaysia but all throughout the length and breadth of South East Asia.With this,they are attempting to export what has been endemic in the basin of river Ganga(virtual or otherwise)--the sectarian violence.The hijacking of the Malaysian MH 370 is the first step to sow afresh the seed of distrust to the already tenuous relation between the minority Chinese and the majority Malay in Malaysia.Their ultimate aim is to engineer a sectarian war between the minority Chinese and the majority Malays in Malaysia.

Their strategic objective is to get China bogged down in a ground nearer to its homefront.

I have not got the updated information but some years down the line Malaysia actually had a law that prohibited the minority Chinese to establish a business without first roping a Malay as a partner.I don't like to use an adjective in describing such a law.But my point is that any society which produce such a law is primed for an engineered sectarian violence.With Prime Ministerial level fanning of the flame(as has been continuously pursued by the honorable Prime Minister of Australia,Mr Tony Abbott--all indicators having already been pointed to the virtually established fact that Mr Abbott is a passionate person!!),the Malay-Chinese sectarian war in Malaysia is sure to arrive in the near future.

Now,our turn for this profound question--are the realms of Indian doctrine of relative truth and virtual reality the 2 sides of a same coin?

Without even attempting to answer this question,we can safely say that the propunders of the doctrine of relative truth are consummate players in letting the virtual Ganga running amok all throughout the length and breadth of the Indian Subcontinent.They are even successful in doing so in the mountainous and wild NE.

In other words, they are experts in creating virtual realities for various regions and communities.Once they can box  such regions and communities into their appropriate virtual realities,these entities become the easy prey of manipulations.In short,India,as a political entity,is an expression of such social manipulations and so far,they are proving to be more potent and longer-lasting as the cementing factor than those provided by the communist party networks in the erstwhile Soviet Union.

Firmly settled on this foundation and armed with this formidable and time-tested weapon,the propounders of the doctrine of the relative truth are venturing off to newer pasture.In hijacking the Malasian MH 370,they took the first step in creating 2 different but,the most importantly,antagonistic virtual realities for the Chinese minority and the Malay majority in Malasia.Patiently,they will wait for these 2 antagonistic virtual realities coming to a clash,thereby throwing the minority Chinese and the majority Malays at each other's throat.

The whole world is still staring at the reality-blurring episode of a formidable jumbo jetliner which was loaded with hundreds of innocent people,getting vanished right into thin air.And,that marks the beginning of the engineering of 2 different and antagonistic virtual realities for 2 communities--one,for minority Chinese and the other,for the maojority Malays.

What a fitting preamble!


Postscript:There are so many conspiracy theories flying around.But not one fertile mind of the vast tribe of conspiracy theorists can relate the hijacking of the Malaysian MH 370 and the crash of India's freshly-acquired (at the price tag of Rs 1000 cr) heavylift Hercules transport plane.Amazing!!

Malaysia's hijacked plane and India's doctrine of relative truth

They are saying that hijacking a plane with hundreds of innocent  people on board is bad and condemn-able but under some circumstances(like the still shifting geo-political fault lines) it is quite ok.

It is just like saying that the Armed Forces(special Powers) Act 1958 is indeed a black law and highly condemn-able but under some circumstances (like the present situation in Manipur) it is quite ok.

They are the classic examples of the throbbing vitality of Indian's social doctrine of relative truth.

This doctrine was invented to perpetuate and strengthen the Indian social dynamics which is based on highly regressive and archaic law of Eugenics.In its social application it is pure Eugenics and such a society in its political expression should have a widely and clearly visible manifestations of Nazism in its pure form.But a clever application of this doctrine of relative truths imparts an admirable flexibility to the whole system,which,for example,enable it to have a strange but workable co-habitation of a social system based on Eugenics and a political system based on universal franchise.

So far,the international community has had the interactions with the multi-faceted manifestations flowing out of this political system based on universal franchise.

Hijacking of the Malaysian jetliner(1/3 of its passengers being Chinese) is the first instance whereby the Indian social dynamics based on Eugenics is projecting its image to the international arena.They are now on a new turf.For centuries it have been ravaging the geographical area as defined as Indian Sub-continent and a shift in the geo-political fault- line has forced this regressive Indian social dynamics to override the presently shaky but still universal-franchise-based political superstructure and thus, reveal itself in the international arena.

Seen in this light,there would be a clash between the regressive Indian social dynamics based on Eugenics and the rapidly modernizing social values of South East Asia and Asia Pacific.

But to accuse a State of hijacking a passenger plane is in the realm of conspiracy theory.But as the still developing situation show,there might be more than one State involved in the hijacking.It is quite reasonable to infer that they would need only a brief jamming of Pakistani radars to get the plane to Turkmenistan(China  has a rebel group aiming to establish an East Turkemenistan).And,it's quite reasonable to think that the radar-jamming technologies might have found their devices installed,however briefly,in Afghanistan.

But still.why should we waste out valuable time in a conspiracy theory?

To answer this question,we have to go back to the 13th of March 2014.And,the place of our interest is Imphal.

They have the temerity to do something with natural disaster on a 13th day!More than that,the day before, the guys from New Delhi,in a press conference,held in place no other than the seat of power in Manpur,the Secretariat complex in Imphal,grandly announced that 2 lakhs people would be hurt and 37 thousand people would be killed!Some kind of mock drill indeed!!

Reading between the lines,it's quite clear that New Delhi,under the guise of a mock drill,was issuing threats to Manipuri society.They are effectively saying to the larger Manipuri society--

--'Beware,you will get hurt'--.

Psychological warfare,isn't it?Let's say it is one  in micro level.What about the macro level?Of course,the hijacking of the Malaysian jetliner.

Even if the hijacked jetliner did not reach Turkmenistan or it was crashed in Indian Ocean,the objective of the mission has already been accomplished.The mission was clearly another psychological warfare aimed at China.They want to send out the message that even though you have your much vaunted 'string of pearls' with their attendant listening posts,we have just snatched away a wide-bodied jetliner from under your own nose.So, your 'string of pearls'  is impotent?Look, we have even flown the wide-bodied jetliner right inside the core area enveloped by your 'string of pearls'!!Still proving impotent!!Like this,they can continue ad nauseam.

Seen in this light,it is quite clear who planned the hijacking of the Malaysian jetliner and,more important,where did the planning take place.

Would Telengana trigger a bipolarity in Indian polity?

Telengana--the word instantly carries us towards the spectacular dispaly of what Indian parliament is--a horrible hegemon.We also saw the Telegus deploying every trick in the book of parliamentary democracy to fight that hegemon.Now,do they realise that they had not been wielding the appropriate weapon to fight a hegemon?

It is likely that the unprecedented turmoil and ferment they are facing now are driving them to seek for 'something' to guide their future plans.

Now,the most startling question--

Would SM Krishna provide the Telgus the direction towards which they are most likely to find that 'something'?

Well,we have in SM Krishna a startling story.As far as I can remember,they brought him as the foreign minsiter of India during the process for scouting of talents at the State level leaders.Because Manmohan Singh cabinet was so bereft of talents.I also think that the general perception of SM Krishna is that he is suave and capable.Even than,he was so quietly dropped from the cabinet.At that time,I thought that he was re-assigned to State level politics to fight off the main opposition,BJP.

When that did not happen,I began to ask myself--'what's happening?'The paucity of talents in the Manmohan Singh cabinet intensifies as the time goes on.Then,why such a talent like SM Krishna was dumped so mysteriously?

Then,I suddenly remember how SM Krishna brought the then Chinese foreign minister to Bangalore.The Chinese foreign minister was even bedecked in traditional Kannadiga attire!

Was it that SM Krishna sometimes talked to his Chinese counterpart as a Kannadiga leader?WAs it that such a talk between him and the Chinese foreign minster being perceived as a threat to the power centre at New Delhi?Was it the 'startling'situation which led to the mysterious dismissal of SM Krishna?

If SM Krishna is a political outcast right at the moment,then I think all the above questions are silently but forcefully answered.

Is he a political outcast now?

I have no idea.I can't get the nuances of the State level political scenario sitting here at Imphal.So,I have to admit that it's mostly my hunches and gutfeeelings.But for my own blog they are good enough to let the streams of my thoughts flowing down uninterrupted!!

So,SM Krishna has got that 'something' that show the way of how to chart the Kannadiga's future course of action vis a vis the powers centres at New Delhi and Beijing.And,that's game changing.

Now,if we re-focus our thoughts towards the neighbouring Telegus,we come face to face with startling situation--the Telegus,right at the moment,are searching for that exact 'something'!

Here,we repeat our question--

Would SM Krishna provide that 'something' to the Telegus?

Here,we have to note that history might have chosen the person of SM Krishna to act as a conduit to get that 'something' across to his larger society.As such this idea might have started entering into the inner circles of the Kannadiga social and political elites.If that's the case,then,its only the matter of time before it also start travelling towards the neighbouring societies.Right at the moment,the Telegu society is at its receptive best.

All these lead us to think that we are seeing the contours of two emerging 'hotspots',besides the already existing one in the Tamil's land.Three 'hotspots' in a contigouos row constitute very significant developments,to say the least.

If we add the person of Sharad Pawar to this developing stew of three 'hotspots',we get a very strong recipe for the emergence of a competing pole to the power centre of New Delhi.To my mind,the cosmopolitan elites of Mumbai is very crucial to its emergence.The DNA of these elites of Mumbai,unlike that of provincial Chennai,is out and out cosmopolitan.Till date no provincial political aspirations emerging out of Maharastra,for obvious reasons,has not been able to carry with them these Mumbai elites and as such,all these political aspirations cannot have any traction.And,Mumbai cosmopolitan elites,for their parts,have been content with providing the leadership to culutre and finance spheres.With Sharad Pawar's last shot at the prime ministership,the Mumbai elites,for a change,might apply their collective minds to find ways to rumble through the nitty gritty of reaching that goal.In this process,a germ of an incipient thought might be implanted in their collective minds--'Why the North have been producing the leaders of the likes of Mulayams and Mayawatis?'(As we considering the emergence of multi-polarity in Indian polity,the symbols in the persons of a Jawaharlal or a Indira are very significant.But the elder son of Indira,when faced with the crucial crisis in the Delhi Sikh pogrom showed off his innermost self--a small mind.Thus,he decisively crushed the family legacy of providing the symbol of India's unity.Seen in this light,Indira's grandson does not even come into the picture).

There is every reason to expect that germ of an incipient thought might blossom into full growth and with that we might also see the gradual realization on the part of these elites that the collective 'provincial'aspirations of Maratha,Tamils,Telegus and Kannadiga would no longer be a proincial one.And the job of providing leadership to this collective political aspiration would no longer be a provincial endeavour.

To my mind,far too many things are happening at their right moments--unknowingly,we might be staring at a great inflection

point in history.

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.
