Governance and Indian Nationalism (GAIN)

Since I belong to an Army background, eating non-vegetarian came naturally to me. Moreover, Army's culture of parties and intrinsic stress over non-veg eating activated my taste buds quite early in life. I am also from a Punjabi Khatri family where having non-veg is considered a matter of pride. This early conditioning towards non-vegetarianism deeply influenced my psyche which eventually became a strong barrier when I struggled to leave non-veg. I continued to relish non-veg (mainly chicken & goat mutton) till I was 21 years old; however, it was around this time that I seriously began to have second thoughts about it. It all began during a post dinner family conversation over eating habits .. whether one should eat non-veg or not. Ours is a highly religious family too, so these conversations were given equal importance. My father and brother proudly stated that, in Hinduism, Kshatriyas are allowed to eat non-veg as it helps to build aggression among them. However, I c...

Love Jihad's growing influence is indicative of a deeper level of cultural contamination that may imbalance the heterogeneous structure of Hindu society.    Increasing incidences of 'Love jihad' in India reflect a complete lack of understanding among Hindu girls about the tricks and lies leveraged by Muslims to fool them.  The fact that Muslims are using 'Love' as a tool to change the demographic equation of India is a sufficient condition for Hindu girls to reject Muslim guys. Even if Hindu girls refuse to see this propaganda, then they must utilize all resources to assess the intent of a Muslim youth.  For example, instead of falling for the trap of conversion to Islam, they could test such lovers by asking them to convert back to Hinduism.  In Muslim world, where polygamy & Talaq is a norm, re-visiting the meaning of love is important. Globally, love has a special place for everyone and is considered stronger if it is perpetual, long-lastin...

While BJP has just recently come to power on the back of popular mandate, it doesn't have much time to rest on its laurels. This is predominantly due to the extent of damage inflicted by the anti-national UPA regime over the last 10 years. For example, India faces multiple challenges on different fronts such as Economy, Defense & Security and Home & Foreign affairs.  In case of Defense, the past UPA government has considerably weakened the strength of armed forces primarily on account of lack of modernization and limited stockpile of weapons. Moreover, Congress unleashed more corruption within Army ranks which is evident by the extent of defense scams and penetration of ISI controlled drug mafias. This has led to the creation of a strong defense lobby that operates an anti-India agenda.  The recent controversy over the affidavit submitted by BJP government has not done any good either to the reputation of Government or its own MoS Gen VK Singh. While Congress dr...

Dr. Swamy, t he real anti-corruption crusader,  has not only been a vocal opponent but also the most aggressive and active fighter against the corruption of fake Gandhis. He  has been fighting a LONG battle and finally seems to be nailing t he Gandhi Dynasty which is  the fountainhead of corruption.  Despite the hiccups and multiple obstacles that were deliberately imposed by UPA and its strong team of sycophants, Dr. Swamy has managed to pull down UPA single-handedly. While many may perceive Anna's 'Lokpal movement' as a Watershed moment in India's modern history, in reality it is not so. The actual Watershed moment of the country took place on February 2, 2012, when SC cancelled all the 122 2G licenses on a petition filed by Dr. Swamy.  It was this judgement that hit the innermost core of Congress and HIT it so badly that UPA never recovered thereafter. The judgement served two main purposes, firstly, it caused an irreparable damage to Congress led...

India is a Hindu Rashtra and those Muslims, who do not accept their Hindu ancestry, should be first stripped off their voting rights. And even then, if they don't make amends, then they should be asked to pack their bags and sold to Sheikhs as slaves. That is the ideal treatment for these Traitors. Germany's 50% population is Christian, still the government calls the country as a Christian nation. Then what is wrong in India (with 75% Hindus) calling itself a Hindu nation. Hindus should not be shy of calling India a Hindu nation because the majority is Hindus. Those who want to live by the Western defined concepts of secularism will not be able to save themselves from the Islamic onslaught which is just round the corner. One must also understand that moderate/modern Muslim is an oxymoron.  Every Hindu must learn from the history of Jews and if they don't do so, then that day is not far when Hindus will be running away from their one and only homeland to other countri...

Shri A.K. Antony February 26, 2014 Minister of Defence South Block, New Delhi Dear Shri Antony: Enclosed is a copy of a news item from the Feb 22nd Hindustan Times, Delhi Edition, that states the French police had arrested Dassault Aviation Head for a bribery charge. Dassault has entered into a controversial deal to sell Rafael fighter jets for the IAF. Since this news item brings prima facie the issue of a scam in the Rafael deal also, I urge you to put the deal on a hold till the Defence Ministry gets the full details, and takes a view on whether the deal should reacclosure or not. Yours Sincerely Subramanian Swamy

India may be an independent nation but Indians will not achieve freedom until they redeem the loss of every single drop of blood sacrificed by their Heroes over the past 1,500 years.  India is a rare country whose 10,000 to 12,000 years old civilization still exists and flourishes. Even in ancient times, Bharat was not only culturally rich but scientifically advanced as well. Past evidences also indicate that Bharatiyas have the best brains, be it in the field of Art, Science, Engineering, Commerce, Economics, Foreign Affairs OR Defence.  Indian scientists, mathematicians and engineers introduced revolutionary concepts that changed the world forever -- For example, Aryabhat (zero), Baudhayan (pi), Kanad (atom theory), Varahamihira (hydrology, geology and ecology) and Charak (Indian medicine).     India also produced Kshtrayias such as Rama, Arjuna, Bhishm Pitamah, Chandragupta Maurya, Ashoka, Vikramaditya, Prithviraj Chauhan, Maharana Pratap and Shivaji Mahar...

IF you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:  If you can make one heap of all your winnings  And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss...

"The most important thing to do today is to generate enthusiasm. No economy can improve if people feel defeated and become risk-averse. Therefore, we have to bring the positive feeling back by implementing measures that would revive the outlook. The other step that should be taken is increase the savings rate, help people save more, as this would translate into more investment which in turn would boost growth." -- Dr. Subramanian Swamy  Nearly 35-40 million Indians pay taxes annually; however, only 1% of the total tax payers account for a major chunk of tax collections. For the remaining tax payers, filing returns is a complex process involving extensive paperwork.  While skeptics highlight an annual loss of INR 2.47 lakh crores of revenues; they tend to overlook the inherent benefits (monetary as well as non-monetary) that will accrue with such a system. Moreover, the system of zero taxation is also working effectively in nearly 15 other countries around the worl...

Arvind Kejriwal who shot to limelight during Anna's movement has now created his space in Indian politics. He has become the CM of Delhi and is now smartly working towards his next goal of destabilizing India which is the main agenda of his entering Indian politics. While many Delhites, who innocently voted for AAP, see its victory as a victory of anti-corruption, they don't realize that the actual control of Delhi still wrests with Congress -- the party they rejected in Delhi Assembly elections.  Kejriwal's rise highlights the vulnerability of Delhi voters who easily fell for rhetoric and false promises. Quite often, Indians have shown a propensity to choose an option which has led to India's undoing. Trends over the last 66 years indicate that whenever Congress was surrounded by serious corruption charges, it leveraged the weakness of voters to manipulate a confused verdict.  Therefore intentions of Kejriwal are pertinent to understand, given the continuous fl...
