Bharat Verma's contribution to make Defence issues more popular amongst general citizens of India is indeed a great legacy that he leaves behind. I have been a witness to his great enthusiasm and support for BR Forums and Monitor. India has lost a great son. His legacy will continue to be an inspira...

Green Peace marches to the tunes of the bugles sounded from distant lands. That is for sure. Yes, because of its image and market promotion and PR in mass media, it attracts people who want to get into an action mode for "saving" the environment. There are a lot of passionate youngsters wh...

As a person who has had some exposure to some level of detail in terms of the level of infiltration into socio-cultural and economic institutions, corporate sector, academia, environmental discourse etc, the speed of explosive growth in the number of NGOs and the level of influence and control achie...

Raja Ram

The threat posed by the NGOs has been receiving the attention of Nationalists for a long time. I can recount some practical examples that some of us undertook in the last few years in Chennai. It was of course done with a view to do our individual mite when the overall situation looked quite dauntin...

The NGO fifth column is big as per this report - Rs. 11,500 crores and only 2% of NGO's file returns.

When you want to exterminate enemies within, one way is to first neuter them, isolate them, explore and expose their whole network, build a case, wait for the opportune time and then move to kill. Ancient Indian wisdom! Especially if there are extensive inroads by external enemies into every sinew o...

The photograph that is available on ToI Website on Live Updates show grenades. They don't seem to be of any known Indian make from their shape. In fact, it resembles Chinese versions http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Militants-attack-Karachi-international-airport/liveblog/36262836.cms The unnamed P...

Gentle Rakshaks, I urge you to think a little differently. Let us see some of the more important ground realities 1. The US is going to get out of the South Asian region militarily some time next year. 2. The presence of the US is getting increasingly challenged from the Malacca straights right unto...

Raja Ram

The Shankh Naad - The Call of our Times Statecraft is best pursued without attaching emotions. Modi could have clearly delayed going to the US? Yes. Would it send a message to the US? Of Course Yes! But what is important is not the public messages that press and BRF members discuss when it comes to...

Raja Ram

When such US officials deign to comment and show their concern for the suffering women and downtrodden in India, I wish that the very next day, some Babu doing the daily press briefing from EAM return the shared values comment about our concern for the hate crimes against racial minorities and other...

@ merlin, yeah you can attribute it to me and my twitter handle. I operate with my real name. Nothing much to hide for an ordinary Indian :) ramana, PB may be saying the truth when he claims it was not he who decided to go after DK and it was SD that decided to do so and came to his office to press ...

@ merlin,

sure anywhere you want

Raja Ram

shiv, In addition, the fact remains, at the height of the controversy, the same gentleman was very keen to be seen as the avenging prosecutor who is unafraid taking on the mightiest, be it the Russians, or his own ethnic group, the Indians in the service of Law and Justice. Once it has come out that...

Raja Ram

With regard to Preet Bahrara, as a prosecutor he failed to convince his judge that he had even the authority to indict. That does not speak well of his professional competence. As a quasi politico, he failed to read the ramifications of his act before and after the arrest, and that does not speak we...

11 Pandits chanting Rudram and Chamakam as Rajnath, Modi and Amit Shah do the puja!

Raja Ram

I do not about you all folks, it is simply exhilarating to see an Indian PM doing puja to the chants of Rudram and Chamakam to Lord of Lords, Kashi Vishvanath, it is deeply symbolic that Narendra Modi will take his oath as an elected MP from Varanasi, the oldest city on earth, reasserts itself as th...

Raja Ram

Back in 2009, I went and saw a desolate BJP office in Chennai and enrolled as a member. Today I have not bothered to go there, I am sure there will be a lot of people there. In the intervening years my little experiments in joining political discourse actively has just been that....experiments. Toda...

Watching the interview one gets the feeling that Arnab and Times NOW has negotiated hard to get it. There seems to be a clear understanding of ground rules. If Arnab tries to cross the line and go offensive, there would be no holding back. Since it is not in Times NOW studio but Modi's place with hi...

Raja Ram

Sorry, I was wrong. Old age approaching, and I was trusting my middle aged brain. My apologies!

Raja Ram

If he does win and goes on to become PM he should make it a point to return to Varanasi and do the Aarthi for Ganga Ma! Can you imagine the significance of that act....I am sure, he as a keen student of history and Vivekananda may consider this!

Raja Ram

If I were a copy writer for NaMo I would say "Mere pyare Benarasiyon, maine kuch din pehle bathaya ta, ki Na mujhe koi bulaya hai na mai yahan ayya hoon, mujhe toh meri Ganga mayya ne bulaya hai, ab yeh log mujhse kehte hain ki aap yahan nahi aa sakte, ab mere, doston aap faisla karo, kya Modi ...

Raja Ram

The last time Amethi went so close for La Familia was when Rajiv was opposed by Raj Mohan Gandhi as a candidate for VP Singh, Rajiv made it in the end, but after a recount and by some 7000 votes or so IIRC....this one looks like going to the wire as well.

Raja Ram

Banning Modi from Varanasi is just the last push that his voters need!...NaMo will tweet, they do not want me to do Aarthi to Gangamaya, they do not want me to meet you all and take ashirwaad, ab aap apna faisla sunaye...then watch the fun!....in the meantime the EC will get a battering on this if t...

Raja Ram

That photo, above, if circulated, will dilute the evidence of actual violation....they will show this as pure rumour mongering...this is a case of being well intentioned fools trying to get at Election Commission by clutching at the wrong straws. The evidence that Smriti gathered in the morning is t...

Raja Ram

If the Prince is not accompanied by SPG he can move around the constituency otherwise no! Is there any pic of him with his SPG cover? I am not sure if there is any further exemption that EC can give based on Security assessment.

Raja Ram

"On the day of the poll, no person who has been assessed to be having a security threat and therefore given official security shall enter the vicinity of a polling station premise (within 100 meters) with his security personnel. Further, on the day of the poll no such person shall move around i...

Raja Ram

If that building is the polling station then it is a violation, if that building is 100 meters away from polling station which houses the polling booths, then it is legal...is that building a Polling Station? From the photo I cannot make that affirmation

Raja Ram

Guys, Don't let the case down by picking the wrong evidence....Smriti Irani is also not a local and is a registered voter in Delhi....SPG personnel cannot come inside, but candidate can come in the presence of Returning Officer and in the photos above, there is no SPG. I have personally seen many ca...

Raja Ram

As per rules, the Candidate, his election Agent and Booth agent can inspect polling booths. I think photos appearing here of Rahul are legit. There is no violation. These are photo ops generally. The rigging is always left to non-official "supporters" to accomplish. Not the voting cmprt. ...

Raja Ram

20,000 troops have been moved into Varanasi says the TOI headline and yet they could not send troops in advance to Amethi!...EC ka kamaal!

Raja Ram

Is the media reporting on these rigging attempts in WB and Amethi? Are the National TVs covering it or are they trying to gloss over it?

Raja Ram

If the Congress and their media henchmen make a big issue of Sri Ram's poster then it is going to make it worse for them. All the BJP will do is to let these guys dis Ram and make it look that taking Ram's name is anti-secular....that will only make the last remaining neutral to go the Modi way. The...
