'In
the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. But in the keen-eyed world
of cricket, a fellow with just one good eye-and-a-bit has to settle for
something less than the perfection he once sought. Lucky me, despite this, to have
been able to play the game all over the world in the company of giants.' Pataudi about himself.
I was taken straight to what was like an ashram with a temple. There in a room slightly spacious with carpets spread all over the floor in the middle sat Yogiji on an asana with his disciples, I presume , around and also some visitors. I was introduced to him and he called me straight to him and made to sit near him for many hours. He was talking in Gujarati, not Hindi, but easy for me to understand. His face, radiant, his smile so broad and never leaving him, his protruding teeth, slightly shriveled body, upper part of the body totally uncovered is what I vaguely recollect now, after four decades.
After the demolition of the Babri Masjid, Narasimha Rao was suspect in the eyes of Muslims. During the NDA days this proximity between USA and India increased much to the annoyance of China and with USSR having collapsed, there was no clear Russian reaction. The need to get out of nuclear isolation was imperative for India to generate more power as no Indian state, except perhaps Uttaranchal has surplus water to generate electricity and not enough coal resources to go on for decades and meet India’s growing needs.
The Leftists, under Karat, did their mischievous worst when they clearly favoured a nuclear Iran and opposed India getting any nuclear help from USA. In the public mind the mischief of Leftist propaganda identified Indo-US friendship as an anti Muslim stance. Mayawati, not a wise leader but a dangerous opportunist opposed the deal clearly and called the nuclear deal, anti Islamic. It was enough material for the home grown terrorists, aided by Pakistani and Bangladeshi outfits, to become active immediately after the success of confidence motion of Manmohan Singh. Bangalore, Ahmadabad, Surat. attempts in Bombay, Rajasthan by terrorists shows their range, spread and ability to disrupt the national harmony and create panic.
Television channels are spreading it more and more with their stereotyped “breaking news” to gain more viewership rating. Being idiot boxes, very few of them have mature journalists with proper sense of direction and higher aims and purpose. That serves the purpose of terrorists immensely.

And it is the antardasha of Ketu in the seventh house in the horoscope of India. I reminded the students that in 1981 I had written in the Vishwa Vijay Panchanga (Hindi) that the Ketu dasha in the Indian horoscope would be dreadful in many ways. We had Punjab terrorist in spreading which USA was said to have a big hand and if USSR had not passed on the information, the Golden Temple tragedy would have more disastrous than what it was. But it did lead to the assassination of Indira Gandhi and killing of Sikhs in Delhi and elsewhere in India.
Now the Ketu antardasha and two eclipses falling in August, both visible and both affecting the axis of religious/communal harmony how could India remain complacent with unchecked growth of home grown terrorists? The nuclear deal had to trigger it off. The terrorists had prepared very well as the events show.
But will the television channels show any sense of moral and national responsibility?
