Today, 5 August 2019 has become a historic day in our history as something which could not be done in 70 years has taken shape now. Union Home minister Amit Shah has announced that Article 370 which grants special status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir will be scrapped. He also announced that Jammu and Kashmir will no longer be a state and it will be bifurcated into two Union Territories— Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh. Lees meer

Is ours an ideal democracy!! Hardly so, it is far from being an ideal democracy; where there should be two equal opponents, like Conservative and Labour party in Britain; like Republican and Democratic party in USA. As for India, for the two major parties here i.e. Congress and BJP there has never been a state of relative equilibrium. There was a time when Congress was all powerful for a long time, BJP had not come into existence then. BJP came into existence and gradually spread its wings and the status now of present election result on 23 May 2019 is that BJP alone bagged 303 seats and 353 seats along with its NDA Alliance. Congress on the other hand could muster only 52 seats; along with UPA, Congress got 91. Other parties won 98 seats. What to talk of equality, Congress party could not win even 55 seats which is the requisite 10 % to become the official opposition. Lees meer

Last Sunday, a brilliant student of my junior research class told me that he wanted to give his political (mundane) explanation astrologically showing why the terrorist attack took place and why it had to be in south west direction which ofcourse is Bombay.
On this basis, he further showed why the next attack, since this attack is not likely to stop now that India world’s softest target with a huge population sympathetic to the terrorists and with some of them willing to be members of sleeper cells,----will be in NORTHERN INDIA.
The day Indo Nuclear deal was signed, Sardar Manmohan Singh signalled India joining the American bloc was the message sent to the Muslim world, particularly the fundamentalists among them.
In the meantime, the Bharatiya Janata Party has earned the wrath of some Indians who do not like any political party to make political capital out of such incidents, so painfully exposing our national deficiencies and defects in characters. Some of them are reminding the BJP that its own record during the Kandhahar kidnapping was disgraceful.
What most of the politicians do not know , it seems, is that younger generation of Indians, in early thirties and, even younger ones, are intelligently patriotic. The voting power and strength is in their hands and they can cause major swings in elections. It will serve no purpose if the middle aged people blame politicians as we are a democracy and we have to elect politicians, however opportunistic and unscrupulous, to power. What is the way out?
The coming dasha of Sun in the Indian horoscope provides an adequate answer. Domestic policies will demand and get greater attention, economically tariff barriers, resembling protectionism of British Indian days, and adequate security measures with stringent laws.At the moment, stringent security laws have been sacrificed at the altar of political opportunism by the UPA government which repealed the excellent POTA which the earlier, NDA, government and had framed, enforced and provoked terrorists. But the Congress politicians who thought it was used against one community repealed it instead of instructing the law enforcing authorities to be impartial if there was any truth in the allegations against NDA’s POTA.
National security first has to be the aim of any government.What will the new Home Minister, Chidambaram do now unless he brings into effect some POTA like legal act immediately into force?
In the encircling tension and gloom, a BJP leader has provided some hilarity and provoked women against himself.

NO HOLDING HIS TONGUE: Naqvi gets into trouble for deriding Mumbai protesters. That’s what BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi has said. "Some women wearing lipstick and powder have taken to streets in Mumbai and are abusing politicians spreading dissatisfaction against democracy. This is what terrorists are doing in Jammu and Kashmir," said Naqvi, the party’s national vice-president.
The lighter side was that the English cricket team down five zero to India in ODIs was waiting for a total disgrace if it was to lose the remaining two to make it seven zero. We were debating if Pieterson’ team would take this opportunity and run away. Yes, they did it.
