In advancing teenage, our generation which could read English well and was brought up on Coleridge, Wordsworth, Shelley, Keats and Byron, have stored in our minds with the memories of the communal orgies of 1946-47, the dawn of independence on the night of 14/15 August 1947. We, the children of freedom fighters, had kept awake till midnight when came the sonorous voice of Omkarnath Thakur heralding Indian Independence with Vande Mataram.

Arun Jaitley’s speech in Rajya Sabha asking the prime minister how can conditions be laid on agitators was brilliant incisive and confused and exposed the government: what will be the size of protest, the duration of protest etc. raised some fundamental democratic principles. It shows how ludicrous can be the government stand to justify the action against Anna Hazare. It shows thickening confusion, chaotic thinking.

Those two fortnights of 1977
Those days in 1977, I used to work deeply on mundane astrology unlike these days when I have lost interest and do not prepare enough data.
The two fortnights referred to in 1977 in the horoscopes given below both India and Pakistan were to undergo radical changes.
India had its first non-Congress government in the Janata Government after the March elections and Pakistan had a more radical change when Zial-ul-Haq became a military dictator and immediately came out with his policy of Islamization of Pakistan with USA encouraging it fully to fight the Soviet troops in Afghanistan.
See the influence of Mars on the tenth house and the tenth lord in the chart of 14 June 1977 and Mars is in the tenth house both in the birth chart and the navamsha in chart of 1 July 1977
The rise of Talibanism and of Osama bin Laden can be traced to this period. The army-mullah combination, the favourite combination of Pakistan politics was in full bloom from this period till September 2001 when USA found its own policy it had encouraged for twenty four years becoming a menace for it and the world.
But it was too late.
What you sow you have to reap--be in an individual karma or collective karma.
Zia was popular with a policy which appealed to masses and mullahs and had a
mass base and approval.
Now the same USA expects Musharraf to undo all that and lose the popular support of masses and mullah. Musharraf has to lose the mullah base, the mass base, the religiousfundamentalst base to please Americans and displease majority of illiterate and semi-illiterate Pakistanis. He has to displease the educated Pakistanis who want freedoms and a dose of secularism after acting against the judiciary and gagging the media.
He is rudderless depending on the slender loyalty of the army only. He is the most pitiable head of a state. It is why the change of dasha in the horoscope of Pakistan is a landmark to be watched.
How safe then is Musharraf himself ?
In an emergency when the press is gagged rumours that spread fast do lot of damage and create panic. No wonder, we will have spate of rumours and fears now from Pakistan.
After Jupiter moves into Dhanu on 24 November 2007, some of the curbs on the media may be relaxed. This emergency itself may be lifted soon because an inconvenient judiciary has been got rid of by Musharraf.
But none of these combinations will prevent the terrorists becoming more menacing.
Musharraf knows that India and USA will want him to remain in power and be powerful. It would have been helpful if we had his horoscope to predict with confidence.
But then remember that we have entered the predicted dangerous period of 2007-2008. But when the press is suppressed, rumours become wild.
"No coup against me"

IN CONTROL: Musharraf has rubbished aside the reports that he has been placed under house arrest
US fears Pak's N-bomb may fall in wrong hands (PTI)
Today's rumour becomes tomorrow's history. Taliban is a US-Pakistan manufactured produce. Caliban is only a Shakesperean character.
