afghan-terrorist-faceWe will continue to update this article as we get more reports from the scene on the GT Road near the Wagah border in Pakistan. The operation was completed in record times and the 800 hostages liberated with little loss of life. We salute the soldiers and Policemen that gave their lives and we salute the brave men and women who cleared the Academy of Indian sponsored terrorists.

India, too, is blamed by many Pakistani government and security officials, who suspect retaliation for the Mumbai attacks. This was also a view voiced after the attack on Sri Lanka’s cricketers.  BBC

Bharat has been indulging in terror since 1940. It manipulated the Boundary Commisison, attacked Hyderabad, took over Junagarh, Manvadar, and tried to fool the world with a fake article of Accession. It enslaved the Dalits, marginalized the Muslims, obliterated the Buddhists and made wars with all her neighbors. ‘RAW training 600 terrorists In Afghanistan’ Senator Mushahid

As the authorities made remarkable progress in the Sri Lankan attack, initially considered to be a blind case, investigations show that the amount of money supplied, the type of weapons used, the sophistication applied and the planning of this strike was such that it clearly had the signatures of some international spy agencies, including RAW.

While there are quite a few unique things observed by the investigators in this case, the authorities are simply surprised to detect that a fake Nadra ID card captured by the police and belonging to one of the attackers had all the security features available on the genuine Nadra cards.

According to a source, in order to prepare such a fine Nadra card, dies similar to those acquired by the Security Printing of Pakistan from Switzerland were used. An investigating officer said that the Switzerland-based competing brand of the firm, which had provided these special dies to Pakistan, were approached to make a perfect copy of Nadra cards that were in use of the terrorists, all of whom had escaped after the Liberty attack.

All the security features, hologram, ink and dies, everything was perfect. However, the only slip found was the signature of the former Nadra chairman Salim Moeen instead of the incumbent Ali Arshad Hakeem.

The date of issue of this ID card coincided with the tenure of Hakeem but it had the name of Moeen. The ID card was found by the Lahore police from one of the car dealers from whom the attackers had purchased three rickshaws and two cars.

None of these vehicles was snatched. All were purchased from the market for which the same ID card was used. The police secured the sale-purchase details of all these vehicles and found that in one case, the fake ID card used was deposited with one of the dealers while in all other cases photocopies of the same card were submitted. All the three rickshaws and two vehicles were merely used to reach the Liberty area as the attackers abandoned them while fleeing from the site of the terrorist attack.

In yet another smart move, the attackers, 10 in number, and their two handlers, purchased new mobile sets and SIMs by using the photocopies of genuine ID cards belonging to different people, none of whom had any connection with this terrorist network. None of them knew of the purchase of mobile SIMs, acquired by using the copies of their cards.

Details acquired from the concerned cellular networks also reveal that all the calls made or received from these 12 SIMs were only to each other. None of these SIMs either made or received any call from any other outside number.

Amongst the weapons used by these attackers, the authorities got hold of four anti tank disposable rockets of the same make, which are only in the use of the Indian Army. Two of these rockets were fired by the attackers while the other two remained unused. It is relevant to mention here that the Crime Investigation Department (CID), Punjab, had precisely warned the provincial government on January 22, 2009 about the RAWís plan to target the Sri Lankan cricket team during its visit to Pakistan.

The CID, while referring to a source report, had clearly said that this terrorist attack would be carried out especially while the Sri Lankan team would be traveling ìbetween the hotel and stadium or at hotel during their stayî. What the whole world saw on March 3, precisely happened the same way. Ansar Abbasi

terror-from-indiaThe Indian sponsored terrorists has been been identified as a resident of Paktia Afghanistan, who no doubt had the help of the Indian RAW which recruits, trains and send across the border mercenaries and terrorists. Several terrorists have been arrested. Even Rehman Malik could not hide the “foreign hand” (euphemism for India). Indian RAW & Afghan NSD proxy behind FATA Baluch unrest  Dr. Munshi has written a great book titled “The Indian Doctrine” in which he eloquently spells out the nefarious machinations of RAW against Pakistan, Bangladesh and other South Asian countries. Understanding Nehru’s India Doctrine.

Anatomy of Indian Intelligence Services and Alliances

afghanistan_map-with-terroristLahore, March 30: On March 30, 2009, the RAW’s trained terrorists again hit Lahore and killed several under training police personnel of Police Training Centre, Manawan Lahore. One terrorist apparently afghan nationality has been apprehended. It is doubted that terrorist has been given training at Jaisilmir (India) adjacent to Pakistan border. The terrorist was probably trying to flee away with the intentions of crossing border which is hardly 3 kilometers away from place of incidents. It is quite possible that assailants are same Indian black cats those attacked Sri Lankan team a month ago and yet to be arrested. RAW believes in Extremism and elimination of Muslims from India and now supporting indirectly BJP in her election Campaign. BJP is strongly has faith on Hindu Vatism which refers to Hindu extremism and domination. For a long time, the concept of Hindu Extremism and domination has ruled the Indian politics. Thus the achievement of this goal led New Delhi to adopt coercive diplomacy and concept of limited war. As the judicial movement succeeded in Pakistan and being a frontline state against terrorism, Islamabad became a throne in the eyes of India. It is impossible for her to confront Pakistan directly but at the same time, she wants to destabilize and deescalate Pakistan.

Thus India started playing its cards in the form of covert operations inside Pakistan.

The attack on mosque in Khyber , the attack on Sri Lankan team in liberty and recently the attack on Pakistan police training center is evident upon fact that the impetus was provided by a foreign hand i.e.; RAW. All these efforts of India are directed towards proving Pakistan an irresponsible nation and a failed state. RAW backed by CIA is continuously spreading terrorism and sending well-planned terrorists in Pakistan. Any common man cannot plan such an extensive act and implement it alone without any foreign hand. It is without any doubt the outcome of the malicious planning of New Delhi to pave the way to malign the name of Pakistan and making excuses valid for drone attacks inside Pakistan. However, India should not forget that Pakistan is a responsible nation and will go to any extent to meet external threats.

CIA is using RAW and RAAM as her tools to implement her agenda of pushing Pakistan into anarchy and in political turmoil. American and Indian agencies never liked to see Pakistan a successful South Asian country. They are backing terrorism to victimize lonely Islamic Nuclear Power. The blaming ISI and Pakistan Security agencies and damaging Pakistan sovereignty is on the top their agenda. Pakistan political top brass must realize the facts and read the underlines of new strategy of CIA, which probably totally different to the Obama” announced policy. Kashmir Watch.

Rupee News has exposed RAW activities in Pakistan and through our other South Asian columnists in India, Bangladesh and Nepal. What is amazing in 2008 that even Bangladeshis have clearly recognized the role of RAW in the events of 1971 and beyond. Pakistan, Nepal, China, and Bangaladesh are RAW’s enemies.

India intelligence: “‘the aim of RAW is to keep internal disturbances flaring up and the ISI preoccupied so that Pakistan can lend no worthwhile resistance to Indian designs in the region.” Rupee News has exposed the internal attempts to neutralize the ISI which was defined by the Pakistan Army brass as a thorn in the side of the Indian intelligence agencies.

Fata unrest: Pakistan proves Afghanistan, India meddling

 

paktia-mapAlready questions are being asked about the attack which showed military precision and training.

Among the major factors that have contributed to the growth of terrorism in India are caste, sectarian, communal, racial, religious violence, political rivalry, business disputes, corruption, fanaticism, misgovernance and more importantly the active support of the Indian state in nurturing terrorist proxies for perceived strategic ends at home and abroad.Pakistan bears the brunt of RAWs overseas ventures, though it is not the only one. Sri Lanka has faced Indian Tamil terror for a decade. Bangaldesh faces it everyday, as does Sikkim, Bhutan and the Maldives.

  

How did the Indian agenst arrive? There are several routes to the Wagah area. They could have simply slipped across the border or they could have come in through their regular route through Afghanistan.

The India Doctrine by Munshi

The India Doctrine by Isha Khan Dhaka Bangladesh book cover Indian intelligence: “‘the aim of RAW is to keep internal disturbances flaring up and the ISI preoccupied so that Pakistan can lend no worthwhile resistance to Indian designs in the region.”

Indian terror against Pakistan is nothing new, it started before independence. Gurdaspur and Ferozepur were the first victims of Bharati terror and a million Pakistanis paid for their lives.

Chan Akya scriptsThe vision of the Arthashastra, is truly breath taking, its practical utility timeless and the clarity of its exposition unique. The techniques of manipulating public opinion and creating disinformation, propounded by Chanakya anticipated modern intelligence systems by several centuries. No wonder then that the nearly 2500 years old lessons in deceit, guile, hypocrisy, machination, and gore taught by that Master strategist, Chanakya alias Kautilya (literally meaning ‘crooked’) was adopted in toto by India and its chief intelligence agency, the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW).

As usual the “Blame Pakistan First” crowd will come out of the woodwork and begin blaming the previous government, the religion, and the Taliban. Blind to the facts on the ground and enmity from across the border, these talking heads will begin their circuit on the networks. Old enemies of Pakistan will take solace, and the Reds (surkahs) who had been quiet for decades will again surface like mushrooms after a rain to malign Pakistani foreign policy and hold religion responsible for all misdeeds of foreign agents. The usual cast of characters from the far left will blame Musharraf and his policies, Imtiaz Alam will blame the religion, and Asma GIlani will blame all Pakistanis. Hassan Askariwill blame the criminals. Street wisdom is strong. The man or woman on the street knows the truth. The enemies of Pakistan have already been identified.

terrorists-face-2The Pakistani government under US pressure and due to total incompetence does not usually blame Delhi for the terrorist acts. For reasons known only to them, the PPPP government is very shy about calling a spade a spade. Mr. Rehman Malik has no creadabiliyt left in Pakistan. His popularity is lower than that of his master Mr. Asif Zardari. Mr. Malik was in charge of security of Ms. Benazir Bhutto and is known for his very strange actions during her speech. Instead of being reprimanded for his failure, Mr. Zardari promoted him and brought him into his cabinet. Mr. Rehma Malik’s obsfuscation of this attack is a ploy to demoralize the population. His bluster is a way to hide the true masters who attacked Pakistani soil.

Bharat facing defeat and retreat in Afghanistan is very frustrated and is waging an economic war on Pakistan.

During the 60s and early 70s the concentration of the Indian RAW was East Pakistan. In the 80s during the First Afghan War, BharatiRAW along with Afghan Khad and The Soviet KGB had a field day in Pakistan blowing up mosques and Imam Baras to demoralize the population into abandoning the war against the USSR. One of the biggest attacks by RAW was blowing up 300 people in Borhi Bazaar in Karachi.

Pakistanis was not cowed down by the RAW terror and faced up to the mighty USSR. In the end, the USSR left Afghanistan and imploded.

paktia-district-afghanistan-corrected-mapPakistan has a faced a concerted campaign of sabotage and destabilization over the past few months. The viscous Chan Akyan New Delhi strategy is based on brinkmanship and deceit. Any attack on India will be transformed into a global crisis, and India will continue to do its sabotage in Bangladesh, Pakistan and Lankaunder one guise or another. During the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, boththe KGB and RAW had free reign in Pakistan to blow up building and civilian targets. None of these crimes against humanity deterred the Pakistanis from waging the war against the USSR, defeating them and then driving them out of Afghanistan. Today Pakistanis face a similar campaign of bombing and sabotage from RAW and from other players about which Vice President refused to talk about in his interview on Face the Nation with Jim Shaeffer. The Pakistani nation would like to ask the same question from Vice President Biden. “Does the US conduct covert actions inside Pakistani territory“. The last time the question was asked of him, he said “I can’t answer this question, and I won’t answer this question”.

 

As a matter of fact by refusing to answer the question, he actually answered it. The fact remains that the CIA routinely conducts covert operations in Pakistan. RAW is an ally. RAW also conducts routine operations against Pakistan for its own objectives. Many times the objectives overlap and the agencies help each other out.

Sources within the security establishment had been aware of an imminent attack being planned by Research & Analysis Wing – India’s premier intelligence agency.

“We had been picking up chatter and had received important information from the R&AW terrorists arrested in recent weeks. An attack was imminent. We had prepared for any eventuality and Alhamdolillah we were able to avert a major catastrophe. The security team fought bravely”, said a source on condition of anonymity.Pakistan Ka Khuda Hafiz

Mariana Baabar met Hussain at his residence in Islamabad’s upscale E-sector. Though the joke here is that the E is for Extremely Rich, Hussain’s own home is modest. His phone keeps ringing as he takes calls from politicians of all ideological hues. Between calls, he talks about the Great Game India’s playing inside Afghanistan and its possibility of destabilising the region. Excerpts:

Why should Pakistan complain about India

“India has sizeable ingress in the Afghan ministry of tribal affairs, and is using it for covert activities
against Pakistan.” having several consulates in Afghanistan? They are two sovereign states.
Indian Consulates in Afghansitan training terrorists and sending them to Pakistan to blow up pipelines in Baluchistan

India currently has an extensive diplomatic presence in Afghanistan. It includes the Indian embassy in Kabul and another four consulates in Kandahar, Jalalabad, Mazar-e-Sharif and Herat. These Indian diplomatic missions serve as launching pads for undertaking covert operations against Pakistan, from Afghan soil. Particularly, the Indian consulates in Kandahar and Jalalabad and their embassy in Kabul are used for clandestine activities inside Pakistan in general and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and Balochistan in particular.

Are you alleging that the Indian Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) is involved?

Indian diplomatic and RAW officials have significant ingress in the Afghan ministry of tribal affairs, and are exploiting it to conduct covert activities. Indian agents are instrumental in arranging meetings of tribal elders and Afghans with dual nationalities with Indian consulate officials in Jalalabad, and assisting them in spotting and recruiting suitable tribal elders from Jalalabad and Pakistan’s North and South Waziristan Agencies for covert activities

Are you then saying that RAW has managed a strong presence inside Afghanistan after the ouster of the Taliban?
Tajikistan map Indian base-Indian Consulates-dens of Inequity

RAW has established its training camps in Afghanistan in collaboration with the Northern Alliance remnants. Approximately 600 ferraris, or Baloch tribal dissidents, are getting specialised training to handle explosives, engineer bomb blasts, and use sophisticated weapons in these camps.

Has India revived its links with the leaders of the erstwhile Northern Alliance who are in power in Afghanistan today?

India has invested heavily in its old connections with the leaders of the erstwhile Northern Alliance. It has sizeable support in Afghan parliament. Before the Afghan elections last year, the Indian ambassador called the Northern Alliance’s major leadership at his residence and paid them a handsome amount to run their election campaign.

Are allegations of India placing troops in Afghanistan correct?

India is gradually increasing the number of its paramilitary personnel in Afghanistan. It is stationing them there on the pretext of providing security and protection to the Border Roads Organisation, which is constructing the Zaranj-Dilaram road, and its consulates. From a few personnel, the strength of Indian troops has reached almost that of a company size force and even includes Black Cat Commandos.

Is the Afghan state helping India in these operations?

Yes, the Afghan Police, the Border Security Force and customs officials facilitate the visit of Indian diplomatic staff and intelligence agents to border areas, and help them to hold meetings with dissatisfied pro-Afghan dissidents, anti-state elements, and elders of the area.In this context, meetings of tribal elders are arranged by the Afghan intelligence agency (Riyast-i-Amniyat-i-Milli or RAM) at the behest of those RAW officials who serve in different diplomatic offices of India in Afghanistan. Indian agents are carrying out clandestine activities in the border areas of Khost and in Pakistan’s tribal areas of Miranshah with the active support of Afghan Border Security Force officials.If you remember, after Pakistan took action against the Balochistan Liberation Army and other elements inside the province, the Indian external affairs ministry was quick to issue an unprecedented statement (see story below) in December 2005; their strategic writers have started focusing on Balochistan in their articles. This does not bode well for peace and stability in the region. I have no doubt that this will backfire on India.

    Once again Pakistani security forces have proved themselves to be exceptionally determined and courageous.

    This terror incident could so easily have been a disaster of an enormous magnitude. We have previously seen similar terror attacks in Russia and more recently in India, where a handful of well trained, well armed men take over a building and inflict heavy losses.

    The brave Pakistani security forces have once again dealt a severe kick in the teeth to the terrorists and their backers.

  2. wildpigeon says:

    The whole Pakistani nation n muslim world salutes the courage,valour n bravery by the security forces of Pakistan.Coward terrorsits backed by CIA,RAW n MOSAD r becomin desperate day by day.But the whole world has seen the reaction of the great PAKISTANI NATION.

    The anger in the eyes of Pakistani commandoes,paramillitary forces,police n rangers was spectacular.They were looking saddened for the fallen but so jubilant 2 face the enemy as if each n every personal’s last chance for SHAHADAT..

    The way they ended the seige n completed in typical Pakistni style has rang the danger alarm in the ranks of enemy.The way ordinary people n security forces raided the compound,the way whole atmosphere was echoeing with TAKBEER,the way rescue workers evacuated the compound in the rain of cross fire is evident enough that this nation truly deserves the tag of “The Most dangerous country in the world”.CIA,RAW n MOSAD have made the biggest mistake they can imagine.

    I swaer 2 God the retaliation by Pakistanis will be worth seeing.Enemy is trying 2 hide in England n S.Africa but the earth is shrinking under their feet.

    Please snap out of your denials. You only have to wait for a few days for the facts to emerge. I can assure you that it is LET, Jamaat ud Dawaa or some other home grown outfit that was responsible for this most recent atrocity. Indian spy agencies could not pull off such a precision act even if they wanted to simply because we do not have the suicidal instinct that religion provides some of your own. On this I will have to bow to the finesse and guts of your homegrown terrorist outfits

    Pakistani intelligence and security agencies are acceptionally smart and clever as they r already holding the culprits of Lahore attacks.But Pakistani strategy is to make less noise n take concrete actions.On the other hand COW PEE drinkers bark a lot n PEE again when the battlle time comes.Pakistani agencies already know that the home work done by dozens of Hindu-stani counsulates backed by CIA,MOSAD n elements in northeren alliance is bringing the fruit.We feel sorry for the dead but these attacks can never destablize Pakistan as with each n every attack people r gettin united n respect for the security forces is increasin day by day.Enemy is gettin panicky 2 see the cold n low profiled response by Pakistnis as if nothin is happening or nothings hppenened.If that many attacks in such a short period of time would have happenend in Bharat or elsewhere ,the international media wud have gone mad by now.Hats of to Pakistanis for bearing such cowardly attacks with open arms n courage.I m sure the casework is ready gainst the culprits n the culprits know it 2 by seeing the Pakistani response.

    I agree. Rehman Maliks days are numbered because the army is going to take over pretty soon.

  6. mp says:

    Please make up your mind. You cannot quote Rehman Malik as a credible commentator and at the same time claim that his days are numbered because he does not know what he is talking about. It is one or the other.
    And pardon me for not getting the Pakistani terrorist outfit acronyms right. There are sooo many, it is difficult for me to memorize them all or definitively know who they are for and against..

    • Moin Ansari says:

      You quoted Mr. Malik. I retorted back with a quote from the same person.

      The Army will not take over becuase of General Kiyani and because the people will not allow it. There is no reason to do that. (Comments updated after original posting)

    You really cant blame the army for stepping in to save the country from anarchy with clowns like Zardari, Gilani & Malik at the helm. And when the army decides to take that step, historically the political leaders nor the people have been able to stop them.

    • Moin Ansari says:

      The Military Industrial complex works in different ways in different states. It has also learned to work differently in different years. Like we said before. the Army may not need to take over. It may work within the system and get what it wants.

      KHALISTAN:The Sikhs have been suppressed but still angry at what is happening to them. They will rise again. http://roadtokhalistan.blogspot.com/
      According to Amnesty International, the Indian state has sought to stifle the basic human rights of the Sikhs by creating a culture of impunity where large-scale extrajudicial killings, torture, custodial rape, use of draconian laws by state agencies are natural occurrences that go unpunished.Amnesty International, “India: Break the cycle of impunity and torture in Punjab,” January 2003. [9].
      While mass media reports claim that “normalcy” has returned to Punjab, impartial observers like Amnesty International assert that the basic human rights of the Sikhs continue to be violated by the Indian state.Amnesty International, “India: Break the cycle of impunity and torture in Punjab”, January 2003. [10]. From recent events, it appears that a demand for Khalistan persists in sections of the Sikh community. On April 14, 2004, Daljit Singh Bittu founded a new political party, the Shiromani Khalsa Dal, with “establishment of a free, sovereign, and separate Khalsa state” as its primary objective.Shiromani Khalsa Dal, “Daljit Singh Founds New Party on Idealism and Activism”, [11]. Second, on April 29, 2004, the Dal Khalsa, a Sikh nationalist organization, began a week long “Khalsa Freedom March” from the Akal Takht in Amritsar with an objective of gaining support for the idea of Khalistan by peaceful means. Sikhe News Bureau, “Khalsa March for Freedom”, [12]. A large number of gurdw?ras (the Sikh houses of worship), across Punjab and in the diaspora continue to celebrate the “martyrdom” anniveraries of Sikhs who died fighting in the Khalistan freedom struggle. While fear of human rights abuses keeps sloganing in Punjab to the minimum, the Sikh organizations in the diaspora (primarily Europe, North America and Australia) continue to lobby for the secession of Khalistan from the Indian union.
      Creation of the Punjab Rights Forum: In June/July 2005 following the arrests of dozens of alleged Babbar Khalsa (International) militants and sympathizers in Punjab and Delhi, a number of Punjab based pro-Khalistan political parties and organizations joined forces with a dozen odd Human Rights, Religious and Kisan groups to form a loose coalition known as the Punjab Rights Forum.

What happened to the Muslims of Gurdaspur, and Ferozepur who were in majority in these and many other cities in East Punjab. 5 million Muslims were deported from East Punjab. In reaction 5 million Hindus and Sikhs were sent out of Pakistan. They live happily in India like Nrasima Rao, Manmohan Singh etc.

India wants to surround itself with a “Warsaw pact” type of string of obsequies and subservient states. Pakistan is big hurdle in India’s hegemonistic policy of Westward expansion. Since the West never faced “India” in combat, they are unaware of the (South) Indian agression that was encountered by Southeast Asia (Laos, Cambodia, and even Indonesia).

      The missing population inhabits Delhi. We already answered that. Delhi used to be a Muslim majority province, now the Muslims are a minority. 5 million Muslims were deported from India and made a home in Karachi. Similarly 5 million Hindus left Pakistan to live India. What part of this don’t you understand?

      Mr. “Singh”:

      We appreciate you visiting our site, and thank you for your important feedback. Obviously we cannot agree on the stature of Mr. Gandhi or on anything else.

      Let us agree to disagree.

      Obviously you do not have the information on Gandhi, have not read the latest books by his two grandsons, have not read the books by Dr. G.B. Singh, have not read the commentary on Gandhi by Mr. Bose, and Ms. Naidu, have not read the reasons why the Nobel Peace Committee refused him a Nobel Peace prize (for supporting war and violence), have not read the resolution of the United States Congress which repudiated Mr. Gandhi for his racism. Please visit the following site so that you can get some information on the reality of Mr. Gandhi.

      Once again we present the facts on Mr. Gandhi with appropriate and solid references.

      Mr. Mohandas Gandhi supported the British in their war against the Boers, and the Zulus in Africa. He used to call them “Kaffirs” (that was their tribal name). He also supported them in WW1 and WW2. He was the “Recruiter in Chief for the British actively finding and sending Indian to their deaths in Burma, and Africa to fight for the crown.

      “Truth comes out breaking the walls of a fortress” is a Punjabi saying. For the lovers of truth G. B. Singh has exploded the Gandhi myth – apostle of peace, emancipator of untouchables and liberator of India by peaceful means from the British yoke – by publishing his labor of love, Gandhi: Behind the Mask of Divinity. G. B.

      “A general belief seems to prevail in the colony that the Indians are little better, if at all, than the savages or natives of Africa. Even the children are taught to believe in that manner, with the result that the Indian is being dragged down to
      the position of a raw Kaffir.” (Reference: The Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi, Government of India (CWMG), Vol I, p. 150)

      “Why, of all places in Johannesburg, the Indian Location should be chosen for dumping down all the Kaffirs of the town passes my comprehension…the Town Council must withdraw the Kaffirs from the Location.” (Reference: CWMG, Vol I, pp. 244-245)

      His description of black inmates: “Only a degree removed from the animal.” Also, “Kaffirs are as a rule uncivilized – the convicts even more so. They are troublesome, very dirty and live almost like animals.” – Mar. 7, 1908 (Reference: CWMG, Vol VIII, pp. 135-136)

      Gandhi and South African Blacks
      Gandhi wrote extensively about his experiences with the blacks of South Africa. He always termed them “Kaffirs” and his writings reveal a deep-seated disdain for these African natives
      You would have thought that since the blacks and the coloured people of South Africa were both at the receiving end of the Apartheid regime, they would share a degree of fellowship as comrades. In practice this was not entirely the case. There were some Indians who did join the black people’s struggle against white racism, but there were others who preferred to serve the Apartheid regime to suppress the black majority.
      In fact, a special category was created for complicit Indians in South Africa’s notorious tricameral parliament, where they had no voting rights but were still considered a notch above the black majority, who continued to be denied the false cover of even that third-rate parliamentary system.
      Offended by the inclination of so many Indians to join Pik Botha’s tricameral parliament a black South African composer wrote a song, which portrayed the country’s Indian population as abusing black people and being more racist than the whites.

      A barrage of criticism led to Mbongeni Ngema’s song AmaNdiya – Zulu for Indians – being banned by South Africa’s radio stations and record shops. But it took a while before Nelson Mandela got Ngema to apologise for the lyrics. This anti-black syndrome is not peculiar to Indians. It affects other South Asian countries too, notably Pakistan.

      Years of dedicated research on Gandhi convinced me that our hero was fundamentally a racist. In this book, I present the facts. The evidence presented here is not a matter of speculation or distorted interpretation. Much of the irrefutable evidence lay buried beneath a mountain of Gandhi’s own writings – in his own words, which I have uncovered – comments that will be difficult to dispute once they are read. In this book you will read the evidence in its entirety. My primary intention is to untangle the web that Gandhi weaved – and his followers are still weaving – for many years. Only through a methodical probing can we expose Gandhi’s campaign of deception: the lies, the propaganda, the misinformation, the half-truths, and the efforts to hide behind religion. Where Gandhi left off, his followers have picked up, and they continue their own sophisticated campaigns, both in India and abroad. This book should not be looked upon as another Gandhi biography. Rather, it should provide a standard by which to weigh the Gandhian literature for accuracy and objectivity. Also this book, though narrowly focused, should stand as a guide alerting us to how thoroughly the Gandhi propagandists and others have succeeded in deceiving us.
      Gandhi lived in South Africa from 1893 to 1914, where he designed and perfected his techniques of Satyagraha. But to date, no one has asked the critical question about the genesis of Satyagraha, and only a handful of scholars have delved into the murky areas of Gandhi’s “relationship” with black people. Similarly, only a few scholars have cast a critical eye on Gandhi’s life in India from 1915 to his death in 1948. During this time he gained worldwide prestige, and yet nobody asked. What personal attitudes did his politics belie regarding the British, other whites, and India’s own Untouchables? Did Gandhi truly believe in abolishing the caste system, as the rest of the world has been led to believe?
      GANDHI: BEHIND THE MASK OF DIVINITY is the first investigative book to analyze the Mahatma’s own writings. In this highly critical, intriguing, and provocative investigation, Singh presents the personal side of Gandhi often underrepresented by the vast majority of Gandhian literature. Readers will find particularly interesting the case of William Francis Doherty, a white American whose murder at the hands of Gandhi’s followers was subsequently covered up by Gandhi himself. What does this say about Gandhi the man, and what does it mean for our modern understanding of his beliefs? Naturally, a critical analysis of Gandhi’s life has implications for our understanding of modern India, a Hindu state that has already manufactured nuclear weapons and will likely produce more. Why are the followers of “nonviolent” Gandhi bent upon manufacturing weapons of mass destruction, in addition to building huge military and paramilitary forces? The while tenor of contemporary Indian military strategy seems not to correspond to the prevalent depiction of Gandhian philosophy. The post-September 11 world is radically different, and it compels is to critically investigate India’s politics, its leaders, and their brand of ideology – starting with the ideas of the man who led India to modern statehood.

      In his 1949 “Reflections on Gandhi,” George Orwell, regarding the late war, wrote that “one question every pacifist had a clear obligation to answer was: ‘What about the Jews? Are you prepared to see them exterminated? If not, how do you propose to save them without resorting to war?’” Orwell recorded Gandhi’s answer, which was: German Jews should commit collective suicide.

      To the British during WWII: ” You are losing; if you persist, it will only result in greater bloodshed. Hitler is not a bad man.”(Reference: G.D. Birla’s “In the Shadow of the Mahatma”, p. 276)
      Gandhi’s limitations as a family man. Where the world sees a saint, Rajmohan Gandhi sees a cruel husband and a mostly absent father, paying scant attention to his children’s schooling and dragging wife Kasturba across continents at will, belittling her desire for the simplest of material possessions, then expecting her to comply when he turns from amorous husband to platonic companion to apparent adulterer. Gandhi took on a magnetic personality in the presence of young women, and was able to persuade them to join him in peculiar experiments of sleeping and bathing naked together, without touching, all apparently to strengthen his chastity. (Whether these experiments were always successful is anyone’s guess.) It is also revealed that Gandhi began a romantic liaison with Saraladevi Chaudhurani, niece of the great poet Rabindranath Tagore—a disclosure that has created a buzz in the Indian press. The author tells us that Gandhi, perhaps disingenuously, called it a “spiritual marriage,” a “partnership between two persons of the opposite sex where the physical is wholly absent.”

      Gandhi felt it was his duty to support the British during the Boer War; so he organized and led an Indian Ambulance Corps to nurse the wounded on the battlefield. Even this effort was somewhat delayed by race prejudice; but when three hundred free Indians and eight hundred indentured servants volunteered, the whites were impressed. Gandhi was given a medal for his service in the Boer War. In 1902 he traveled in India, and with Gokhale’s support his resolution for the Indians in South Africa was passed by the Indian Congress in Calcutta.
      In the spring of 1918 Gandhi was persuaded by the British to help raise soldiers for a final victory effort in the war. Charlie Andrews criticized Gandhi for recruiting Indians to fight for the British.
      Aided by a donation of 1500 pounds and the 1,100-acre farm bought and built by architect Hermann Kallenbach, Gandhi named this ashram Tolstoy Farm. He exchanged a few letters with the great Russian novelist before he died and continued to write and edit the journal Indian Opinion in order to elucidate the principles and practice of satyagraha
      discrimination against “coolies” (as Indians were disparagingly termed) was an entrenched part of South African life-especially in the Boer-ruled regions, where Gandhi and his friends could exercise little influence. In Natal, Indians were not allowed to go out after nine p.m. without a pass; in the Orange Free State, they could not own property, run businesses, or manage farms; in the Transvaal, they could not own land, and were forced to live in the worst urban slums. Even in the Cape Colony, British-ruled for decades, Indians were often forbidden to walk on the sidewalk, and could be kicked off-quite literally, often-by passing whites.
      On the political front, a last-minute petition drive failed to stop the passage of the Indian Franchise Bill; however, Gandhi remained undeterred. He proceeded to organize a still larger petition, which was sent to London, to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and distributed to the press in Britain, South Africa, and India. It caused a considerable stir, and prompted both the Times of London and the Times of India to write editorials in support of the Indian right to the vote. Meanwhile, Gandhi set about establishing a political organization for the Natalese Indians, which came to be called the Natal Indian Congress (a clear reference to the Indian National Congress, at that point a relatively tame body). Gandhi faced difficulties in financing the Congress, but the body soon possessed a library and a debating society, held regular (and lively) meetings, and published two major pamphlets. They were entitled An Appeal to Every Briton in South Africa, and The Indian Franchise-An Appeal, and offered a cogent, detailed case for putting an end to discrimination in South Africa.
      India and World War I
      The First World War began with the murder of an Austrian Archduke by a Serbian assassin in June of 1914, and soon mushroomed into a conflict that gripped Europeanpe and the world in four years of strategic stalemate and unparalleled butchery. When war was declared in August, Gandhi was in England, where he immediately began organizing a medical corps similar to the force he had led in the Boer War. But ill health soon forced his return to India, where he received a wildly enthusiastic welcome. In his absence, his fame as the politician-saint of South Africa and the founder of satyagraha had spread throughout India, and now cheering crowds cried “Mahatmaji” (”ji” being a suffix connoting affection) wherever he appeared. “Mahatma” meant “Great Soul,” an appellation applied to the holiest men of Hinduism, and was first conferred upon Gandhi by the great Indian poet and Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore in 1913. Gandhi, of course, insisted that all souls were equal, and found bothersome the religious adulation lavished upon him, even as it gave him great practical power on the subcontinent. But despite his distaste for it, Mahatma was a title he would bear until his death and beyond, and while there were other Mahatmas in the India of his lifetime, Gandhi is the only one remembered today.

      Gandhi spent his first year in India in retirement from public life. However, the year was punctuated by a brief visit with the British Governor of Bombay (and future Viceroy of India), Lord Willingdon, whom Gandhi promised to consult before he launched any political campaigns, and then the death of G.K. Gokhale, Gandhi’s political mentor, an event that left him feeling somewhat adrift in the currents of Indian political life. Indian nationalism was a fast- growing phenomenon, as some members of the Indian National Congress had begun to push for Swaraj, or “home-rule.”

      But Gandhi steered clear of these agitators, in part because he was not yet certain that he agreed with them, and in part because he had to resettle his family and the other inhabitants of the Phoenix Settlement (and the Tolstoy Settlement, a twin he had founded near Johannesburg) in India. To this end, he established a new settlement near the town of Ahmedabad, the capital of the western province of Gujarati, near where he had been born. It came to be known as the Satyagraha ashram, ashram being an Indian word for a communal settlement, and was officially founded on May 25, 1915. Its initial inhabitants included some twenty-five people, all sworn to chastity and poverty- -and among them was a family of untouchables, India’s lowest caste.

      By living in a communal space with untouchables (whose very presence, it was believed, defiled higher-caste Hindus), Gandhi deeply offended many of his supporters and lost considerable financial support. He was actually considering a move to the untouchable district in Ahmedabad when a generous Muslim merchant donated enough money to keep the ashram running for a year-by which time Gandhi’s communal life with the untouchables had become slightly less of an outrage.
      Gandhi’s public life in India commenced in February of 1916, when he gave a speech at the opening of the new Hindu University in the city of Benares. The speech was typical of Gandhi, as he urged the assembled, westernized Indians that they would never be worthy of self-government unless they looked out for their less fortunate brethren. He then went on to catalogue the awful living conditions of the lower classes that he had observed during his travels around India-with a special focus, as always, on sanitation. The speech enjoyed little popularity among the Indian intelligentsia, but Gandhi hardly cared. He had begun to approve of the idea of home rule, but he had no interest in exchanging government by a British elite for rule by an Anglicized Indian elite. If swaraj was to come to India, he argued, it must come as part of a wholesale social transformation that stripped away the old burdens of caste and crippling poverty.
      During the war years, he set about putting these principles into action. His intervention (and willingness, as always, to face arrest) in the Champaran district on behalf of impoverished indigo-cultivators led to a government commission being appointed to investigate abuses by the indigo planters. At the same time, he discovered what was to become one of his most effective weapons in late years-the fast. He had always fasted as part of his personal regimen, but when a group of striking Ahmedabad mill-workers, whose cause he had supported, turned to violence in their struggle with the mill-owners, he resolved to fast until they returned to his principle of non-violence. As it happened, the fast only lasted three days, as the two sides came to the bargaining table and hammered out an agreement. But it set a precedent for later action, and he would continue to use it as weapon in the arsenal of satyagraha-despite criticism from those who condemned such behavior as little more than a form of blackmail.
      As the war in European dragged to its conclusion in 1917-18, Gandhi began tramping about India, recruiting men for the British Army. Although his dreams of home rule had grown stronger, he was still loyal to Britain and to the ideals of the British Constitution, with which he later declared to have “fallen in love.” But the Indian people, having listened to him preach non-violence and resistance to unjust authority, had a difficult time accepting him in the role of recruitment officer-how, they wondered, could the apostle of peace ask them to take up arms in defense of the Raj? Wearied from his journey, he fell ill with dysentery; it was his first serious illness, and he resolutely resisted treatment, preferring his own regimen. As a result he spent a long time as a convalescent.

      While Gandhi lay in bed in his ashram, the war came to an end. In a sense, the long struggle had been a great vindication of the British Empire and its Indian “jewel”: the subcontinent had remained loyal, for the most part, and Indian troops had fought valiantly for the Empire around the globe. But the seeds of the Raj’s downfall were sown. Britain was drained, of both manpower and will, and would never again regain the sunny optimism that had characterized its 19th century rule. The interwar years would soon bring a malaise to the Empire, as a series of mediocre governments stood by impotently in the face of a hostile Germany’s rise to power and the progressive loss of their own domination. Meanwhile, India was restive: the British had destroyed the world’s only Muslim power, the Ottoman Empire, and the loyalty of Indians Muslims was questionable. And having fought a war whose supposed purpose was to protect the rights of small states and independent peoples from tyranny, the rhetoric of British rule in India had begun to ring hollow.
      In this atmosphere, the harried British government made a frightful mistake. They elected to follow the recommendations of the Rowlatt Committee, which advocated the retention of wartime restrictions in India-including curfews and the suppression of free speech. Gandhi, reading the soon-to-be-passed Rowlatt Act in his sickbed, was too weak to mount a protest, but his loyalty to the Empire, which he had long viewed as the guarantor of Indian liberties, suffered a major blow; events of the next few years were to shatter it entirely.
      It was World War II that finally brought the itinerant saint-politician back into public life. After war broke out in September 1939, the British immediately brought India into the conflict without consulting the nationalist leadership. Even as howls of outrage rose from the Congress and the Muslim League, Gandhi was invited to see the Viceroy, now Lord Linlithgow. Having never lost his deep respect for Britain, and detesting Nazism as “naked ruthless force reduced to an exact science,” Gandhi pledged his personal support to Britain and the allies. Nehru, however, was less excited by the idea of aiding the Empire’s war effort, and along with the other Congress leaders, he drafted a manifesto that essentially asked for complete independence in return for Indian support against the Nazis. Gandhi, unhappy at taking advantage of Britain’s weakness (it was now 1940, and the Germans were rolling across France), reluctantly went along.
      Gandhi’s support was immaterial-Churchill was now in command of Britain, and he had no intention of allowing Indian independence, certainly not in war- time, and not with the issue of minorities (Muslims, practically speaking) still unresolved. Nehru’s demand was turned down, and now Gandhi, previously unwilling to further debilitate the British in their time of struggle, agreed to a small-scale campaign of civil disobedience, in which only the Congress leaders went to jail. This small-scale campaign lasted until 1942, when Sir Stafford Cripps arrived on the subcontinent, offering India Dominion status in the British Commonwealth after the war (which meant de facto independence, since a nation could leave the Commonwealth at any time). The Congress might have accepted this, however the proposals also insisted-in an effort to deal with the Muslim problem-that any province would have the right to secede from the Dominion. This Gandhi and the rest of the Congress could not accept, since it would mean the “vivisection” of India.
      With the failure of the Cripps mission, the Congress now decided on an immediate campaign of civil disobedience. Before it could begin, however, all the Congress leaders, including Gandhi, were arrested in August of 1942 and imprisoned in the palace of the Aga Khan. Without the Mahatma’s voice to calm the people, India exploded into violence. The Viceroy demanded that Gandhi speak out against the civil strife, but for once he refused, choosing instead to begin a fast in February of 1943 that lasted for three weeks and left the government terrified that he might die in confinement. But still, he seemed less dangerous to them in his velvet prison than out of it, and so the government kept him in the Aga Khan’s palace, surrounded by his friends and family, while the war dragged on. He was not released until May of 1944, a month before D-Day, and he left the palace nursing a profound personal grief- Kasturbai, his wife and companion for the last sixty-two years, had died during their confinement.
      During the speech the crowd issued approving hums and adoring sigh. When it was over the speaker received a standing ovation. The audience, regardless of what spurred them to their feet, in their reasons for standing should have included this: to signal their gratitude that the U.S. government and the rest of the world’s democracies know the speaker’s message is irresponsible and immoral.
      ===
      The speaker was Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mahatma, and last week, in a lecture titled “Lessons Learned From Grandfather,” Gandhi spoke to a University audience about the philosophy of nonviolence.
      Pacifism is difficult to digest, and to make it even somewhat palatable Arun Gandhi, a professed pacifist, had to address a question he should have expected and which was asked after his speech. It is a question the answer of which banishes the relativism of even the most incurable liberal. And it is a question one 20th century writer would not ignore.
      In his 1949 “Reflections on Gandhi,” George Orwell, regarding the late war, wrote that “one question every pacifist had a clear obligation to answer was: ‘What about the Jews? Are you prepared to see them exterminated? If not, how do you propose to save them without resorting to war?’” Orwell recorded Gandhi’s answer, which was: German Jews should commit collective suicide.
      Ghastly, yes, but as Orwell wrote, “Gandhi was merely being honest. If you are not prepared to take life, you must often be prepared for lives to be lost in some other way.”

      Perhaps not wanting to tell the assembled undergraduates, law students, professors and local citizens that the German Jews should have all raised their hands for Auschwitz, Arun Gandhi, when asked about the issue, (to paraphrase) replied:
      Well, Hitler didn’t just come about out of the blue. The pressures on Germany after World War I helped create the conditions for Hitler’s rise. And we humans are not very good at conflict prevention. We always wait until the conflict-management stage. Gandhi’s beliefs have no practicality. Matt Emerson

    800,000 soliders in Kashmir still?

    Just read the statements of Kashmiris on March 23rd. They know what is going on. Indian attempts to destabilize Pakistan will fail

    Here a report from a popular Kashmir site:

    Lahore, March 30: On March 30, 2009, the RAW’s trained terrorists again hit Lahore and killed several under training police personnel of Police Training Centre, Manawan Lahore. One terrorist apparently afghan nationality has been apprehended. It is doubted that terrorist has been given training at Jaisilmir (India) adjacent to Pakistan border. The terrorist was probably trying to flee away with the intentions of crossing border which is hardly 3 kilometers away from place of incidents. It is quite possible that assailants are same Indian black cats those attacked Sri Lankan team a month ago and yet to be arrested. RAW believes in Extremism and elimination of Muslims from India and now supporting indirectly BJP in her election Campaign. BJP is strongly has faith on Hindu Vatism which refers to Hindu extremism and domination. For a long time, the concept of Hindu Extremism and domination has ruled the Indian politics. Thus the achievement of this goal led New Delhi to adopt coercive diplomacy and concept of limited war. As the judicial movement succeeded in Pakistan and being a frontline state against terrorism, Islamabad became a throne in the eyes of India. It is impossible for her to confront Pakistan directly but at the same time, she wants to destabilize and deescalate Pakistan.

    Thus India started playing its cards in the form of covert operations inside Pakistan.

    The attack on mosque in Khyber , the attack on Sri Lankan team in liberty and recently the attack on Pakistan police training center is evident upon fact that the impetus was provided by a foreign hand i.e.; RAW. All these efforts of India are directed towards proving Pakistan an irresponsible nation and a failed state. RAW backed by CIA is continuously spreading terrorism and sending well-planned terrorists in Pakistan. Any common man cannot plan such an extensive act and implement it alone without any foreign hand. It is without any doubt the outcome of the malicious planning of New Delhi to pave the way to malign the name of Pakistan and making excuses valid for drone attacks inside Pakistan. However, India should not forget that Pakistan is a responsible nation and will go to any extent to meet external threats.

    CIA is using RAW and RAAM as her tools to implement her agenda of pushing Pakistan into anarchy and in political turmoil. American and Indian agencies never liked to see Pakistan a successful South Asian country. They are backing terrorism to victimize lonely Islamic Nuclear Power. The blaming ISI and Pakistan Security agencies and damaging Pakistan sovereignty is on the top their agenda. Pakistan political top brass must realize the facts and read the underlines of new strategy of CIA, which probably totally different to the Obama” announced policy. Kashmir Watch.

    Rehman sees foreign hand Tuesday, March 31, 2009
    Says Afghan national involved in attack held; ‘we had prior information about attack on some police centres’ By our correspondent. LAHORE: Interior Adviser Rehman Malik has said an Afghan involved in attack on the police training centre at Manawan has been arrested, and involvement of foreign hand in the incident cannot be ruled out. Rehman Malik also said that the terrorists from FATA get support from across the border.

    “The entire planning was done there,” he said. One of the attackers, he said, was an Afghan national. The minister also suggested that a foreign country was interfering in Pakistan’s domestic affairs. “Some rival country, or some hostile [intelligence] agency is definitely out to destabilise our democratic forces,” he said, in a possible reference to Pakistan’s long-time foe, India. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7973334.stm

    Mr. Malik’s days are numbered.

    First you said it was LT, now you calim it is LJ? Now you say it is Al-Qaeda? Make up your mind.
