India - Israel Brothers in Arms against the terror

India .. Israel
These two names evoke a sense of bonding that is hard to find anywhere except in case of Hindi movies showing a brother having been lost in a "Fair". Yes these two nations showcase the similar entities so much so that it would amount to no error in case we label these are brothers lost, separated and now rejoined again.

You may be wondering what is similar between these two nations. Well this is not the correct question, the Correct Question would be: “What are the dissimilar things between these two?” The last 5 decades have only brought to light the amazing similarities and bonhomie that define the relations between these two wonderful nations.

* Israel and India became Independent almost at the same time (India in August 15,1947 and Israel in May 14, 1948).
* Both were ruled by Britishers before they attained freedom.
* Both share the civilization history dating back to more than 5000 years ago.
* Both shared a troubled time immediately after independence.
* Both are surrounded by neighbours hostile to them.
* Both have carved a niche in technological and Scientific development, especially the military hardware (Isreal surpassing India in this regard)
* Both have borne the brunt of selective Terrorism and have been continuously targeted by their immediate territories (India targeted by China and Pakistan, Israel had to bear the violence of all Arab-nations especially.. Syria, Egypt, Iran, Palestine)
* Yet both of them survive by their sheer grit, determination and perseverance to never yield before the mindless violence.
* Israel and India hold each other in high-esteem (their partnership goes beyond Defence-deals and high-official visits).
* India had given shelter to very large no. of Jews when almost half the word was prosecuting them. A fact that is echoed and mentioned even in the Speeches of Swami Vivekananda. Similarly Israel reciprocated back to India at every difficult step (Israel was the first nation to send relief work in the Earthquake affected Gujarat).
* Both are vibrant democracies with effective disposal systems.
* India is a diplomatic and Military partner of Israel with both nations banking on each for defence preparedness and technology interchange respectively.
* These two nations have gone beyond the usual “interest” in strategic affairs as both continue to share Intelligence inputs and their Secret Intelligence Agencies collaborating with each other quite often.

All these are merely the facts which are available in public domain. The other facets of this amazing relationship may not be know unless some of the classified documents are made public.

Oh My India... Where is thy Sting !!!

This post comes up when our country is going through one of the turbulent phases in the recent time. Before you jump to conclusions, let me tell you I am talking of the turbulence within and 'not from outside'. For outside threats, our Army always is at disposal. The turbulence and danger from our own politicians, who are as sick as a rot and have left virtually no example for words like filthy, gibberish, fanatics, etc.

While our country is facing the drought, thousands of crores are being spent on Statues (just for the sake that coming generations would know what they have been upto and demanding an additional lumpsum for fighting the Drought conditions. There needs to be a new definition for "stooping so low' proverb now.

Our Politicians are caught on camera slapping, abusing, calling names and what not. Browse the archives of UP assembly, there won't be a single day when any session passed off peacefully. The recent J&K Assembly incident adds to this list apart from other State Assemblies already in this roll of shame. To many this would seem, another opposition-government antic, but it surely is more than that.

On the other hand, Our Secretary Level talks with our neighbours have remained nothing but a game of Alphonse and Gaston. It is a shame for us that we squandered the lead ans support we gained after terror attacks at Sharm-al-sheikh. Our esteemed and well-versed in affairs Foreign Secretary Shiv Shankar Menon thus had to leave on a very dry note.

Real face of Pakistan .. Creation of Suicide Bombers

This post brings to fore the oft repeated fact : "Pakistan and Taliban are striving together to create disturbance". There is little doubt in this statement now. Our Govt. knows it but still keeps mum when its the time to push the Pakistan to act and "make them behave" on the issues that concern us and globally.

Even when the time concerns were raised by various countries and their Intelligence Agencies for Pak military supporting the Taliban and making the world fool about "chasing them". One instance the American Intelligence agency catching the Pak Army General Ashraf Kayani saying "Taliban is our strategic assett".

See the video below from Channel-4 and decide for yourself what this extremist Islamic combination (Taliban & ISI) is upto.
