- The Indian Navy, which has a longer record of modern operations at sea and enjoys many maritime advantages over China, appears increasingly tied down by the terrible timidity of the MoD's political leadership.
- If Antony thinks he is being 'nice' to the Chinese by cancelling exercises in the Western Pacific, he has no inkling of how Beijing thinks. The Chinese respect those with the will to power, and they mount relentless pressure on those who wilt.
- As it rises, China will inevitably build a powerful navy. It is also logical that China will protect its growing interests in the Indian Ocean. There is no way India can or should stop it. New Delhi must focus, instead, on consolidating its own position in the Indian Ocean and elevating its maritime profile in the Western Pacific.

Incognito thoughts: Who are we ?
- Do you think of ideas ? Search of truth interests you ? Principles and principled positions attract you ?
You think like a Brahmana.
Do you think of events, actions, look fwd to making things happen ?
You act like a Kshatriya
Does objects interest you ? Gadgets ? materials ?
You may create things like a Vyshya
Do you venerate personalities, identify with heroes and stars ?
You act like a Sudra.

सृजन: हमास प्रायोजित शादी, क्या ऐसा होता है?
- ये सारी तस्वीरें गाजा मैं उस हमास (Islamic Resistance Movement) प्रायोजित विवाह समारोह से ली गई हैं जिसमे ४५० जोडों की शादी कराई गई (अगस्त २००९) | हमास नेता महमूद जहार ने खुद ही दूल्हा-दुल्हन जोड़ी को बधाई दी | हमास की तरफ से हर दुल्हे को $500 (५०० डालर) और दुल्हन को white gown भेंट किया गया |
हमास नेता इब्राहिम सलाफ के मुताबिक - "हमास की तरफ से ये शादी का उपहार उन वीर जवानों के लिए है जो इस्राईल के खिलाफ युद्ध मैं बहादुरी से लड़े हैं" |

India Retold: DALIT EMPOWERMENT: THE MAYAWATI EFFECT

India Retold: DALIT EMPOWERMENT: THE MAYAWATI EFFECT
- It is not just the Congress that has been exposed by Mayawati. The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), that has been speaking of and for Hindus for many decades, had also similarly forgotten about dalits and become an organisation primarily of upper caste Hindus, as had the BJP that is closely affiliated to it. Thanks to Mayawati, Mohan Bhagwat, the present Sarsangchalak (head) of the RSS, also chose Gandhiji's birthday to virtually write off politics as a means of doing nation building, saying that the nation can be strengthened only by making it 'Sanghmay'
and understanding those who play opportunistic politics using caste, ideology, language and community.
A day after Bhagwat's speech, the RSS invited representatives of 32 castes, including various dalit sub-castes, to a meeting and sahbhoj (eating together). This was the first ever social engineering initiative by the RSS chief on this scale. 62 years after Independence, the RSS has also been made to wake up to the fact that Mayawati-awakened dalits have spurned Hindutva politics. That the RSS has also realised that the process of empowerment set in motion by Mayawati is too serious to be ignored is evident from the fact that Bhagwat has called for organising such meetings across the country for population clusters of just 10,000 each.
