What has India learned from 1962?
In 1962, India’s lofty claims to represent the third world countries, a country developing in the so-called Gandhian way of non-violence and democracy came to an abrupt end when the Chinese army started coming down from the high mountain like wave after wave and India had no defense apparently. A careful analysis should say that India has learned nothing and India today is in a worse condition than in 1962 considering both the international and domestic situation. Before 1962, India got at least 3 years to prepare for the war, when by 1959 it was known that China already took over Akshai Chin. India in 1949-50 endorsed the Chinese occupation of Tibet, East Turkistan, East Mongolia and Manchuria. Not only that, in 1955 Bandung Conference of the non-aligned countries India has introduced … Read entire article »

India: Third Most Powerful Nation or a Third Rate Nation? You Decide!
Indian government priority: Protect and serve its vast majority, the Hindus. “No real change in history has ever been achieved by discussions” – Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose “Freedom is not given, it is taken” – Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose I will probably ruffle the feathers of many Indians, particularly those who are passionately patriotic. But unfortunately, patriotic fervor often induces our heads into the sands of gloried and unreal fantasies. We have to face up to the reality that the Indian form of governance is indeed the wrong form of government for the subcontinent. The multiple party system, under the current election laws and protocols engender convoluted, compromising and corrupt coalitions, replete with bickerings and battles over power, territory and money, putting in utterly unqualified ministers or ruling elite into power, who are … Read entire article »
