^^ That not withstanding, the point stands that Chinese leaders are more savvy and astute when it comes to Realpolitik manoeuvring.

Rising from menial backgrounds in the most hostile of times, with ZERO political capital to encash unlike other women politcos (types of Sonia Gandhi, Sushma Swaraj etc), and that too in the backdrop of being from the most oppressed sections, notwithstanding being a women to top it all, and yet managing to rule the largest state(population wise) of India, in a male dominated society, against an ever hostile upper caste politcos roosting to pawn on every misstep, be it small or large, not to discredit the hostile media who constantly potrays her in a bad light owing to it's elitist character.

 

I would say every dalit girl needs to be emulate the courage, determination & will power of Mayawati in order to rise and claim their rightful place in Indian society. No one is standing on the sidelines to present that deserved position to them, they will have to fight for it, whereas it is the oppositte if not anything else, with the amount of rapes of Dalit women increasing day by day, and the atrocities reaching unsurmountable figures. they need to be as charged, as hostile and as astute as Mayawati if anything is to happen for their social upliftment in tangilbe terms.

If anyone is interested, N. Modi's speech at the Chief Ministers' conference on Internal Security.

 

http://www.narendramodi.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/cmspeech-050613.pdf

 

Few excerpts from the speech.

 

It is disheartening to see terrorists and Maoists striking us with such

impunity; while that the Government of India, and nation at large,
remain mute spectators to macabre death and destruction. It is
further disheartening that in times of crisis when the Union Government
is expected to lead from the front, it chooses to be a disinterested
spectator believing that its role ends with generating and passing on
intelligence inputs to the states, which themselves are rarely specific
and hardly ever actionable.

 

 

crIme deTecTIon kITs AT polIce sTATIon level

I would like to express a sense of disproportion for an item, which normally should be
a part of the agenda of the Police Officers Conference, being discussed at this level.
I do not think this forum should devote time on reviewing such items.

 

 

creATIon of dIsTrIcT crIme brAnch
Similarly, I shudder to realize that the Union Government is oblivious to the fact that
separate crime branches already exist in most districts of most States. There thus
seems to be no reason for an agenda item on the creation of District Crime Branch
being brought for comments and response at this level.

 

 

 

In the last conference several Chief Ministers, including myself, had expressed our

concern over the Modernization of Police Force in the context of funding. We had made a
special request for 100% central funding of the MPF Scheme and not burdening the State
Government with a 25% share. It almost appears as if the states are being punished for
making such a request; with the Union government instead of agreeing to the same,
choosing to increase the state share from 25% to 40%

 

 

The Government of India is aware of Gujarat having launched its own edition of CCTNS, through a

project named HD-IITS (Home Department Integrated IT Solution). This not only combines the five
functionalities of the CCTNS Project, but also includes in its scope other mediums that are integral to
the functioning of public order such as FSL, CID (Crime), CID (Intelligence), Traffic, Home Guards, Civil
Defence as well as Passport Sections.
Over 10 years of Police station records have been digitized, and the programme is being fully
operationalised. I would request the Union Government to increase fund allocation for the same, so
that this unique programme can be strengthened further. I have earlier already extended Gujarat
Government’s offer to share this fully developed system with other states; which I reiterate today

 

 

Although the creation of a separate Intelligence cadre has been deliberated upon time and

again, the corresponding action plan has not yet been evolved. It is well known that
real-time Intelligence gathering, collation and dissemination is integral to the management
of internal security. Dedicated, professional resources are required, for which I had
recommended a special recruitment of Intelligence cadre on the lines of IAS/IPS. While the
Central government itself has not developed the same, it has also not extended support to
States wishing to do so.
Nevertheless, the Gujarat Government has prepared an action plan to augment its skilled
manpower as well as upgrade its technical capabilities - with a view to strengthen
intelligence gathering, especially in the border and coastal areas. A number of steps have
been taken, including directly recruiting around 100 Intelligence Officers.

 

 

Communal flare ups have effectively become a thing of the past, as

the state has remained completely communal riot free for more than a
decade now. The entire present young generation has never seen a curfew,
which used to be a regular phenomenon earlier.

 

 

I also reiterate the idea of covering the border with stretches of solar projects;

generating power for development while simultaneously ensuring security along the
border.
To strengthen patrolling in the Rann areas, the Gujarat Government has recently
ordered the purchase of All Terrain Vehicles for Kutch district. On successful
incorporation, these vehicles will be extended to all coastal districts.

 

 

I am disappointed once again by the short-sightedness of today’s agenda. While the

lWe affected states fully deserve all priority in the security response of the country, it will be an
extremely myopic approach to ignore the security concerns of the lWe targeted regions. While we must
comprehensively address the existing threat, we must at the same time pre-empt and prepare for the next
wave as well .
Today’s agenda does not even take cognizance of the serious Left Wing threats looming large on the horizon.
Gujarat for instance, is not even included in the discussions on Left Wing Extremism despite being a declared
focus target of the the CPI (Maoist) in its Urban Plan. I reiterate my call from last year’s conference, for the
need of a a proactive and pre-emptive approach in internal security matters.

 

 

Political exaggeration aside, if half of what he's saying is true, the government is doing a piss poor job of governing this country.

Assertive China, Apologetic India
June 5, 2013:

During the past month, China inflicted a national humiliation on India by intruding 19 km across what has been the traditional border between Ladakh and Tibet since the 17th century. It not only forced India to pull back from its own territory in the Daulat Beg Oldi sector, but also to dismantle Defence structures in the Chumar sector.

Moreover, apart from violating all past agreements on the Ladakh-Tibet border, China’s territorial claims also violate the provisions of the Wen Jiabao-Manmohan Singh Agreement of 2005 Agreement on the Guiding Principles for a border settlement which state: “The (Sino-Indian) boundary should be along well defined and easily identifiable geographical features, to be mutually agreed upon”. India’s claims, based on historical data, also fulfil the provisions of the 2005 Agreement as they set the western borders up to the Indus River Watershed, with the Karakoram mountains forming the natural boundary.After being militarily humiliated, India chose to subject itself to diplomatic ridicule in the Joint Statement issued after the visit of the Chinese Premier Li Keqiang. While the Joint Statement paid lip service to the 2005 Guiding Principles, there was no mention of the need for defining the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in accordance with these guiding principles.

Unless we insist on China furnishing its version of LAC, the Chinese will continue to stall and obfuscate, while placing our forces in an untenable position along the borders, with India meekly agreeing to pull down any defences the Chinese demand. Worse still, India agreed to accept some ridiculous and one-sided provisions which are clearly detrimental to its national interests. The most astonishing provision of the Joint Statement was the sentence: “The two sides are committed to taking a positive view and support each other’s friendship with other countries”. This, in effect, was an endorsement of Chinese policies of “low cost containment” of India.

SINO-PAKISTANI RELATIONS

Over the past three decades, China has provided Pakistan designs for its nuclear weapon, allowed the latter to use of its territory in 1990 for testing nuclear weapons, upgraded Pakistan’s enrichment centrifuges, provided unsafeguarded plutonium production and reprocessing facilities, China is also Pakistan’s largest arms supplier, providing equipment ranging from JF-17 fighters and T-90 tanks to modern frigates. General Musharraf had made it clear just after the visit of then Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji that the Gwadar Port being built with Chinese assistance would be made available to China if there were tensions with India.

Moreover, does our ill-advised backing of the nature of Sino-Pakistani collusion not suggest an endorsement of Chinese growing presence in PoK and the northern areas of Gilgit-Baltistan?

As the Chinese Government’s mouthpiece, the Global Times mockingly observed: “India must accept and adapt to the enviable friendship between China and Pakistan. China cannot scale down this partnership merely because of India’s feelings”!Virtually, every South Asian leader choosing to challenge India — ranging from President Waheed in Maldives to Begum Khaleda Zia in Bangladesh and Prachanda in Nepal — has received a warm welcome at the highest levels in Beijing. Moreover, China is bent on blocking India’s entry to forums like the Nuclear Suppliers’ Group.

FREEDOM OF NAVIGATION

Worse still, India grandiosely agreed to support a Chinese role in the Gulf of Aden, without getting similar Chinese endorsement for its maritime and energy interests in the South China Sea, most notably for its exploration projects in the Phu Khanh Basin off the coast of Vietnam. Interestingly, while commissioning the first Squadron of Carrier based MiG 29 aircraft on May 13, Defence Minster A. K. Antony asserted that there should be freedom of navigation in the South China Sea, adding that while India is not a Party to disputes there, it believes that these disputes should be settled according to the UN Convention of the Law of the Seas (UNCLOS).

Sadly, such clarity on Indian interests is not evident in other parts of South Block. Moreover, Antony believes that there can be no “miracles” in the development of India-China relations and has no intention of either taking up residence in Beijing.

Jiah Khan commits suicide. RIP.

 

jiah-khan-lead.jpg

 

There was this very good article...i mean i did not read it full as i was busy but i cant find it. It was about how India in general neglects depression??....tbh i mean the idea that every one goes through depression and may be at breaking point in life is not matured here. People with depression and all dont get proper counselling or there are no available facilities to help them.

 

Sad that life is actually so undervalued in India......

 

I feel sad for her ..she was too young ....
