How India's illegal occupation of Hyderabad state destroyed the finest city in the world

Share

This is the unfinished business of 1947–Bharat‘s illegal occupation of Hyderabad state has not been forgotten by the world or the sons and daughters of Hyderabad. Every year the scions of Hyderabad get together in Chicago to remember Hyderabad and struggle for its resurrection. Between 50,000 and 200,000 residents of Hyderabad were killed–all their property looted, [...]

Bharat’s (aka India’s) illegal occupation of the state of Hyderabad destroyed one of the finest cities in the world, and eliminated a state that was a center of excellence.

Why did the British collaborate with the British

Share

Almost two centuries of the British colonial rule is a fact of our history. An alien power can resort to two tactics to strengthen its hold over the conquered people: it can either resort to coercion by brutal use of superior force or can resort to persuasive means to co-opt the natives in the process [...]

Kabul Bombs deliver clear message to India: Pack bags!

Share

Pulling off the attack in central Kabul — in one of the most secure neighborhoods in Afghanistan’s most secure city — was designed to send a message that the Taliban is not intimidated by the stepped-up military offensive “They’re trying to up the pressure and send a message that you guys aren’t defeating us,” “No [...]

An insider's view on Bharat (aka India)

Share

The best part of General Malik’s talk is his accurate assessment of the turmoil within India—the disparities and the grievances that fuel domestic violence. He rightly considers 45% of India’s3.1 million square miles to be in the grip of insurgent violence— 17 states and 223 districts—with eight in a critical state and a RED Corridor emerging from Nepal to Tirupati. He correctly talks of the Peoples Liberation Guerilla Army transforming into a Liberation Army and mentions the possibility of a balkanized India because of rabid people like Thackeray and the Telangana decision in Andhra Pradesh. He sees ad hocism instead of policy and the lack of awareness among the nations’ leaders as well as the bureaucratic short sightedness in North and South Blocks. He sees politicians practicing ‘vote bank politics’ and creating ‘political polarization’. He is possibly the best judge of this disastrous situation but surely he should see the connection between this serious internal situation, the economy and inclusive growth before he advocates the use of military power. Assertiveness comes from an orchestration of the all the elements on national power and not just military power. General Malik’s final suggestions are more balanced than the arguments he uses in his talk.

‘talks for the sake of talks’ useless: Delhi loses another opportunity for peace

Share

Mentioning Kashmir during the talks achieves nothing. Unless and until Delhi decides that the cost of war in South Asia is an [...]
