What did Dr. Subramanian Swamy say about Aditya Thackeray that troubled IT cell so much??

In one of the VHS programs, Words of Wisdom, Dr. Swamy stated that Aditya Thackeray may have had flings but his chances of being part of SSR murder are remote. This single statement of Dr. Swamy has been blown out of proportion to spread rumors having no basis.

One must understand that Dr. Swamy is a constitutionalist and won't give in to rumor-mongering based on public perceptions. Moreover, the court of law works based on facts & evidence and not due to likes, dislikes, or preferences of the general public. Therefore, from a legal standpoint, Dr. Subramanian Swamy took the most appropriate stand on Aditya Thackerey.

After Sushant Singh Rajput's murder, none of the political leaders from BJP and Congress were willing to take a stand. Only Dr. Subramanian Swamy came to the rescue of SSR fans. 

The seasoned professor/politician promised CBI inquiry for SSR, which was duly achieved after a persistent social media campaign and a phone conversation between Dr. Swamy and Bihar CM Nitish Kumar.

Once the case was transferred to CBI, Dr. Swamy's role naturally gets reduced in the investigation process.  

Even after 50 days of Supreme Court order (August 19, 2020) for CBI inquiry, the central investigating agency has failed to even file an FIR in Rajput's murder. The onus of an unbiased inquiry and subsequent punishment to the culprits is on CBI & the central government. 

Therefore, it would be unfair to attribute the blame of CBI's incompetence and Dr. Sudhir Gupta's somersault on Dr. Subramanian Swamy.

So far, CBI has struggled to even get hold of the minions in Bollywood. This is because politics has taken precedence over justice for Sushant Singh Rajput. Unfortunately, the SSR matter has turned into a dirty political dogfight between BJP and MVA. 

On the contrary, BJP IT cell spin artists are working overnight to shift the blame of botched up investigations on Dr. Subramanian Swamy.

Facts that prove Dr Swamy to be the most pro-Hindu politician of contemporary India

Dr. Swamy's political life is characterized by fighting lone battles, defending individual rights, exposing corruption, and standing for truth even at the cost of facing unjustified criticism, yet never appearing conciliatory against his opponents. 

His distinguished contributions make him the most unique politician in the country. Although it is difficult to do justice to Dr. Swamy's contributions in a single article, the following points will provide a broad overview of his achievements:

- No politician, whether from BJP or Congress, has to his credit opening of a religious site as prominent as Kailash Mansarovar due to individual efforts.

-  Dr. Swamy is the only politician fighting for freeing Hindu temples from state control. In TN, Kerala, Andhra, and Uttarakhand, he is legally involved in cases for the removal of state control of Hindu temples. 

-  Dr. Swamy along with his associate and ace lawyer, TG Mohandas is fighting for freeing Devasom Board from state control.

- In TN too, Dr. Swamy not only fought for the freedom of Natraja temple but also won the case. The Natraja temple case has become the most celebrated and highly cited case for lawyers fighting for the independence of Hindu temples.

- In February 1991, Dr. Subramanian Swamy, as a  Union Minister of Law & Justice, concluded a Natraja idol smuggling case in the UK court. The return of antique Hindu idols began after this victory.

- He is fighting for freeing Char Dhaam temples from government control. Ironically, BJP ruled Uttarakhand state government passed the Chaar Dhaam Devasthanam Management Act to take control over 51 Hindu temples.

- Dr. Swamy saved Ram Sethu from certain destruction when he obtained a stay from the Supreme Court against the controversial SSCP project. In 2007, then RSS chief, K Sudarshan, and VHP chief Ashok Singhal ji had personally requested Dr. Swamy to intervene in the matter.

- In Ram Mandir, Dr. Swamy's writ petition on the fundamental right to worship changed the course and forced SC to go for a Day-to-day hearing. On late Ashok Singhal ji's request, Dr. Swamy intervened in the Ram Mandir matter and assiduously worked for the cause through legal means.

- As the President of Kashi GyanVapi Mukta Yagna Samiti, Dr. Swamy will be leading the fight for the liberation of Kashi GyanVapi Mandir.

For the majority of politicians, speech is more important than work because the underlying idea is to win elections. Dr. Swamy's case is exactly the opposite because his contributions in public speak more than his words.

Dr. Swamy is a true follower of Krishna's advice on doing karma without expectation of fruits. He is a Nishkaam KarmaYogi in the true sense.

Dr. Subramanian Swamy, therefore, is the most pro-Hindu politician of contemporary India. His power stems from his persistent efforts (karmas) spread over his 50-year political career. Dr. Swamy is a highly educated, incorruptible, progressive, and fighter politician of India. He is a rare Hindu gem and it would be a disaster if India as a nation misses a golden opportunity like Dr. Subramanian Swamy.

Are stricter FDI norms sufficient to reduce Chinese influence in Indian markets?

In May 2020, India and China faced the worst ever military face-off at Galwan Valley, Hot springs, Gogra and Pangong  region in Ladakh. With the loss of 20 Indian soldiers and 43 Chinese soldiers, the Galwan valley clash was the bloodiest of all. 

Growing tensions between India and China not only shook the geo-political relations across the world but it also led to the build up of hostile domestic sentiment against China's arrogance. As a result, calls for #BoycottChina grew louder and louder with each passing day.     

Rising anti-China public sentiment compelled government to take some policy level measures such as stricter FDI norms for countries sharing the border with India. While this may restrict Chinese investments to certain extent, it isn't enough to neutralize the influence of China in Indian market.

Recently, People's Bank of China raised its stakes in HDFC bank to more than 1% and later also invested in ICICI Bank through the FPI route. Although the government is mulling imposing restrictions on Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI) from China, it may not yield the desired effect. 

These government measures fail to address the issue of China's existing investment levels in India and steps that could reverse China's footprint in India.

Till date, Chinese firms have invested about $6.2 billion, as FDI, in tech companies, smartphone industry, apps and Indian startups. From 2015 to 2019, Chinese investments spanned over 88 different projects in India's IT and electronics sector. 

In Jan 2020, PMI Electro and BYD Olectra, both Chinese companies, have won large state contracts to supply electric buses under FAME scheme of government. As per the contract, these commercial vehicle automakers will supply 1,350 electric buses across different cities.

Chinese firms such as Alibaba group, Tencent, Steadview capital and Didi Chuxing dominate  the Indian startup space. For example, 18 of the 30 Indian unicorns have witnessed investment inflow of US$ 3,500 million from Chinese firms. 

Companies like Bigbasket, Zomato, Delhivery, Byju's, Flipkart, Make my trip, PayTm, Policy Bazaar, Swiggy etc. have already received Chinese investments. 

Absence of local venture capital firms in the Indian start up space has resulted in domination of Chinese firms. Despite Indo-China face-off in Ladakh and consequent refusal of China to restore status, the government doesn't seem to have a concrete plan to hurt China or its economic interests in India. 

Recently, the BCCI went ahead with the telecast of IPL at UAE and in a complete disregard to popular domestic sentiment, the richest cricket body chose Dream11 (another Chinese company) as its sponsor.

Few symbolic steps don't change the harsh reality of Chinese presence in Indian markets. Moreover, government steps and policy measures lack vision to counter Chinese investment blitzkrieg in the country. The disconnect between public sentiment and government response to China's aggression is visible. 

Dr Swamy's three step formula to make India a VishwaGuru again

BJP leader and eminent economist, Dr Subramanian Swamy, invited as a Chief Speaker at a recent webinar of TiE on "Making India Succeed", spoke at length on India's existing challenges and viable solutions to address these challenges. However, Dr Swamy categorically focused on three major areas, which will help to improve India's world status and restore the country's past glory. 

These are explained below:

Improve the state of Economy

• Abolish income tax to boost consumption and savings among households.
• Bring down interest rates on business loans up to the level of 6% p.a for MSMEs.
• Increase interest rate on FDs to 9% per annum to facilitate higher savings from households. 
• Build roads to connect all villages with nearby towns. This will improve connectivity, reduce unemployment, increase purchasing power and spur demand.

Social Revolution

• Indians must start believing in themselves as belonging to the same ancestral tree and identify themselves as product of one civilization. 
• Even before independence, India was one country and shared the same cultural values, ethos and heritage.
• Aryan-Dravidian divide is a concocted theory deliberately imposed to create divisions between North and South India. However people from both parts of India share the same DNA and the only difference is the color of skin which is due to pigmentation.
• Focus on the revival of Sanskrit by encouraging its use within households. This will help to restore Bharat's 10,000 years old cultural glory.

Equal Treatment of Women

India has had a history of strong women warriors who happily embraced death instead of kneeling before the opponents. The likes of Queen of Jhansi, Rani Chenamma, and Rani Ambakka Chowta had unsettled the mightiest of opponents. The modern Indian women carry the same warrior blood in their veins and therefore, they are no less than men in any respect. Moreover, we are living in a knowledge driven environment, where physical strength does not matter as much as mental strength.

Western cultural influence has led to deterioration in the perception of women, which has resulted in increased incidences of their ill treatment. Nonetheless, earnest efforts must be made to respect & treat women with honor and dignity. Education for equality of women and girl child must begin from the early childhood to usher in a change in mindset of  the new generation.  

Vatican's dubious meddling in Indian affairs through its network of Churches across India

Since India's independence, the Church has directly or indirectly influenced the electoral process in our country. During hey days of Congress, Church's role was relatively subtle in comparison to its present day involvement. It seems BJP's recent electoral successes have ruffled the ministries of Church. 

Without doubt, the rise in public outcry by Church over threat to secularism and random acts of vandalism stems from growing influence of Hindutva in India. As a result, since 2014, different churches across India have been issuing letters (or fatwas) to their followers and warning them about the grave threat to secularism due to rise in Hindu nationalism.

Following are some of the examples of Church's growing interference during elections:

• In December 2015, the Archbishop of Faridabad-Delhi Syro Malabar Church, Kuriakose Bharani Kulangara in a letter, wrote that victory of Mahagathbandhan in Bihar is a victory of secular forces over sectarian forces
• In November 2017, the Archbishop of Gandhinagar, Thomas Macwan spoke about rising insecurity among minorities, OBC, SC etc. 
• In May 2018, the Archbishop of Delhi, Anil Couto spoke about the existing political turmoil which threatens the secular fabric of the nation.
• In Jun 2018, the Archbishop of Goa and Daman, Filipe Neri highlighted that constitution is in danger.  
• In December 2018, a group of priests, pastors and bishops from South Indian Churches vowed to support DMK's Stalin.

Typically, these letters preceded different state elections and were circulated to influence voter's mind in favor of secular parties. Apart from interference in elections, Indian churches have been involved in instigating anti-national sentiments, which was seen during 2011 Kudankulam nuclear plant protests. 

Another intriguing fact is that majority of Bishops at Church are appointed only through the approval of Vatican. As a result, the Bishops are more inclined to follow Vatican's instructions, which are usually against India's national interests. In 2012, the Vatican had intervened to secure release of Italian marines involved in the murder of Indian fishermen. Apparently, Dr Subramanian Swamy wasn't too pleased  and he had written a detailed letter to then UPA government seeking end of diplomatic ties with Vatican.

In 2018 as well, after Delhi Archbishop, Anil Couto's unwarranted comments before Karnataka state elections,  Dr Swamy wrote a letter to PM Modi asking to shut down Vatican embassy in India. The root cause of such brazen disrespect for India's sovereignty is due to Nehru's recognition of Vatican as a state. 

As a first step, de-recognizing Vatican as a state could put a lid on its anti-India activities. 

Bhagwad Gita, Chaper - 2, Shloka 7, Meaning and explanation

 श्री भगवानुवाच

अशोच्यानन्वशोचस्त्वं प्रज्ञावादांश्च भाषसे।

गतासूनगतासूंश्च नानुशोचन्ति पण्डिताः।।2.11।।

Meaning:

You are grieving for those who do not need your grief. You speak the language of a learned man however, learned people never grieve for deceased and alive.

Explanation:

Krishna wants to convey to Arjuna that Bhishma and Dronacharya are such great souls that they do not deserve to be grieved. While Arjuna talks like a learned & self-realized person, he also exhibits foolishness in expressing grief for such great souls. Because learned and self-realized man never grieves for those who have left the material world and for those who are still alive. 

Through his talk, Arjuna sounds like a knowledgeable and learned person, however, his sadness over possible loss of Bhishma and Dronacharya uncovers his soft corner for both. It is here, Krishna wants to highlight that self-realized persons understand that death is never a final destination. Moreover, great souls like Bhishma and Dronacharya don't get adversely affected by such events because death is a mere stopover.

Movie Gunjan Saxena fails to measure up to Nationalism; Karan Johar's Dharma Productions is all about ADHARMA

Karan Johar's latest presentation 'Gunjan Saxena' has once again reinforced the anti-national credentials of the producer. Despite Johar's declining public image, he is shamelessly pursuing the anti-national agenda with such movies. Karan Johar, it seems, has broken all barriers to achieve his avaricious goals while pleasing his masters across the border. Bollywood has become full of trash, where producers like Karan Johar defecate their worthless ideas through movies, which is later termed as creative freedom.

On several occasions, this rogue filmmaker has flamboyantly exhibited his miserable ideas on the big screen. In the movie 'Gunjan Saxena', deliberate attempts have been made to malign the reputation of prestigious institutions like Indian Air force (IAF).   

A devious and dangerous game is being played to fool the audience, when a hot topic is picked up to present a theme that is anti-climax. In Gunjan Saxena too, the story of valour and patriotism for country has been mis-represented as a personal struggle of a woman in a male-dominated institution (in this case IAF). By misrepresenting the workplace ethics at India's elite institutions like IAF, Johar has played with the messaging of the film.

Such chicanery can be expected from Paki/Commie influenced Bollywoodias as they seem to have mastered the art of deception which is good enough to not just attract the audience but to influence them as well in order to create dissent within the country.

Given the extent of sleaze in Bollywood,  time is ripe for two-three surgical strikes to clean the existing mess. This won't be a big deal as Sushant's murder investigations are already in process. Investigating agencies should identify the venomous elements and thoroughly probe their sources of funding, yearly revenues, assets, Pak associations and foreign trips. 

The Bollywood needs a 'RESET', which is possible if breaking-India elements are brought to books and an example is set for others.

Dr Subramanian Swamy's timely intervention brought Maldives in favor of India

Maldives, a small island nation in the southwest of India and Sri Lanka, consists of 1,200 islands and is spread over 35,000 square miles in Arabian sea. The island country witnessed fresh wind of change when political reformer, Mohammad Nasheed, won elections in 2008. 

However, China's growing influence in Maldives led to the ouster of Nasheed in 2012. Later in 2013, Abdallah Yameen took control of Maldives government through Chinese support. Under Yameen's leadership, Maldives began to develop closer ties with China and Saudi Arabia.

Dr Swamy with former Maldives President, Mohammad Nasheed

 

In 2018, a political crisis erupted in Maldives when Yameen hinted at delaying elections and arrested opposition leaders. Apparently, China's influence was creating a bigger political crisis at the Island nation. China had already invested heavily in the infrastructure, trade and energy sectors of Maldives and was hopeful to induct Yemen in its Belt road initiative (BRI).

With China's support, Maldives internal crisis was about to snowball into a bigger mess, however, Dr Swamy's single tweet on Maldives settled the matter quickly. The tweet is given below for reference:

Dr Swamy's tweet created furore in the power corridors of Maldives as Yameen feared military intervention by India. As a result, Maldives government was forced to announce elections in 2018, which was then won by opposition leader Ibrahim Solih. 

The surprise victory of Ibrahim Solih not only provided a fresh lease of life to Indo-Maldives relations but also reduced the growing Chinese influence in Indian ocean. Globally, Solih is perceived to be a pro-India leader, which is evident by Maldives recent snub to Pakistan at OIC. 

In May 2020, at a virtual meet of OIC member countries, Maldives rejected Pakistan's allegation on rising Islamophobia in India. UAE also openly rejected the claim and recently, ended its oil supply and loan to Pakistan in retaliation to Pak's growing aggressiveness.  

Dr Swamy's role, in setting national agenda, has always worked as a lever to raise India's stature in global politics.

Kalki's manifestation and Eight signs that prove his arrival is imminent

According to Sanatan Dharma, since time immemorial, whenever the world witnesses degradation of culture, in terms of morals and values, Bhagwan Vishnu takes birth in human form or any other living form.

The form chosen by Vishnu depends on the prevailing circumstances and consequent need of mother earth. For example, the first Avatar of Matsya (Fish) was chosen because Bhagwan Vishnu had to get back 'Vedas' hidden at the bottom of the ocean by Hriyanksh.

Till now, Bhagwan Vishnu has taken nine different avatars in different eras to restore balance on earth. From Matsya, Kurma, Varah, Narsinh to Vaman, Parshuram, Rama, Krishna and Buddha, with each Avatar born with a specific purpose.

For example, Shri Ram's objective was to finish off demons first and then slay the most powerful demon (Rakhshas) Ravana. Shri Krishna's most important goal was to impart Bhagwad Gita's gyan.

In present times, Vishnu's tenth incarnation as Kalki is expected to manifest anytime soon. Given the present level of uncertainty, the world will be in dire need of a saviour/Avatar, who will play a pivotal role in restoring the old order when India/Bharat was a VishwaGuru.

Several reasons signify that emergence of an Avatar is just round the corner. They are highlighted as below:

• Geo-politically, the relationships among nations are tenser than ever before. A single trigger could mire the entire world into collective collateral damage. 
• Administrative systems across the world have been infected by rogue elements, who have also have reached a position, where their decisions impact the whole world.
• Dominance of liars, psycophants, perverts, corrupted, manipulative and criminal minded people in different spheres of life.
• Spread of pandemics like Covid-19, which has affected the health of people worldwide and forced shutdown of economic activities.
• Advent of new diseases, such as AIDS, Cancer etc, which are difficult to cure and cause significant suffering.
• Increased intensity of criminal activities such as money laundering, terrorism, violence, prostitution, drugs, smuggling etc. 
• Absence of purity, corruption of mind from top to smallest level of society's pyramid. Obsession with money and power however, willful neglect of spiritual practices. 
• In Kali's time, the wealthy will be considered as pious, noble and beautiful whereas the spiritual but poor will be perceived as cursed and evil.

The signs are visible and it is up to the present human beings to realize and recognize these signs. Despite the scientific advancements, falsehood prevails over truth. The world lives in an era of Darkness and further continuation could turn it into an unsustainable place for living. 

Bhavishya Purana has predicted the rise of Kalki from the great land of Bharat (India), which is the cradle of world civilization. Since the evil forces are aware about this particular fact, they are trying their best to finish off Sanatan Dharma and its values from India.

Kalki's depiction of riding on a white Horse with a shining sword in his hand is predominantly allegorical. The white horse represents 'Purity' and the sword represents 'Truth'. Therefore, Kalki will lead a pure life and cut the dominant lies with the sword of 'Truth'. He will keep doing his work till the world turmoil becomes uncontrollable and just before world war 3, Kalki will reveal his true self to everyone.

Dynamically changing global environment is taking us closer to world war  3 and therefore, Kalki's manifestation isn't far off. Till then keep doing naam sankirtan to invoke Vishnu's tenth Avatar. 

Bhagwad Gita's five shlokas that every Hindu must understand!

कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन।

मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि॥

(Chapter - 2, Shloka - 47) 

Meaning:

You have right over your actions and not on the fruits of your actions. Engagement in action for the sake of fruits will result in bondage. Avoid obsession with inaction just because it doesn't yield fruits.

Explanation:

A human has right only over his actions, which means he/she can choose the actions. While performing actions, don't develop desire to enjoy fruits of your actions. If you expect fruits, then you become the cause of such fruits. As a result, you will be bound in the cycle of birth and death. However, if you don't expect fruits and accept whatever you get in return without expectation, then you will free yourself from the bondage of action. Performance of duty takes precedence over any other action even if it may not yield any material results. 

यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत:।

अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम्॥

(Chapter 4, Shloka - 7 )

Meaning:

Whenever righteousness (Dharma) declines and is on the verge of obscurity while wickedness (Adharma) grows, then and during all such times, I (God) incarnate by creating myself.

Explanation:

Krishna takes birth at a time when wickedness peaks and dominates the world. It is a time when prevailing wickedness becomes unbearable for mother earth. Krishna waits till wickedness reaches peak because until then the balance of earth may not get disturbed. Moreover, Krishna wants to offer ample opportunities to human beings to realize the righteous path.

परित्राणाय साधूनाम् विनाशाय च दुष्कृताम्।

धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय सम्भवामि युगे-युगे॥

(Chapter - 4, Shloka - 8) 

Meaning:

To protect pure souls & punish the wicked souls and restore righteousness on earth, I have been taking birth in every age for many ages.

Explanation:

Krishna doesn't interfere in human actions, which means he has allowed complete freedom to everyone to follow his/her path. Only when human degradation reaches a level which is beyond the control of positive powers on earth, Krishna incarnates to restore righteousness to maintain balance on earth.

नैनं छिद्रन्ति शस्त्राणि नैनं दहति पावक: ।

न चैनं क्लेदयन्त्यापो न शोषयति मारुत ॥

(Chapter - 2, Shloka - 23)

Meaning:

The soul is neither destroyed by weapons nor burnt by fire. It can neither get wet by water nor dried by air. 

Explanation: 

The soul is indestructible and continues to exist forever. It may change form from one living entity to another through cycle of births and deaths however, its journey never stops. In the larger scheme of things, material aspects of earth don't have the ability to impact the soul. 

हतो वा प्राप्यसि स्वर्गम्, जित्वा वा भोक्ष्यसे महिम्।

तस्मात् उत्तिष्ठ कौन्तेय युद्धाय कृतनिश्चय:॥

(Chapter - 2, Shloka - 37 )

Meaning:

In case you attain Veergati during war, then you will reach heaven and if you are victorious in war, then you will enjoy the comforts of the world. Therefore, Oh Arjuna, stand up to fight with determination. 

Explanation:

Krishna is highlighting that nothing deserves your grief during war time. The next journey is determined by your sincerity towards your duty and not by the outcome of the war. The final outcome is auspicious for the winning side and the losing side both. 

Interesting facts about that Mountain in Sri Lanka which has a historical association with Ramayana

Even after 10,000 years, Shri Ram's pious life, sacrifices, public conduct and warrior mindset is deeply ingrained in the subconscious of majority Hindus.

Ramayana, one of the greatest epics of the world, is full of events that prove the superhuman life of Shri Ram, Lakshman, Sita and Hanuman. Several present day sites trace back their history to hair-raising events of Ramayana. 

For example, Ram-Setu bridge was a super-human feat of that era, which was an outcome of advanced engineering skills of Nal and Neel. Today, global scientific community has accepted Ram Setu to be a man-made bridge. Interestingly, several present day material formations prove the unfolding of events during Ramayana. Some events and consequent change in the earthly arrangement are indicative of mind-boggling capabilities of Heroes and villains in Ramayana.

Hanuman ji's ability to travel across the length of Bharat to reach Himalayas, and then manually carry a mountain to Sri Lanka just in time to save the lives of Ram and Lakshman is one such example. These events are explained in the chapters 74 and 102 of Yudhkanda of Valmiki Ramayana.

In chapter 74, Inderjit used Brahmastra against Bhagwan Ram, Lakshman and their entire army, which made all of them unconscious. However, Hanuman ji, Vibhishan and Jambavan escaped the impact of Inderjit's weapon. Then Jambavan had requested Hanuman ji to search for four types of Herbs namely, Mrita Sanjivani, Vishalya Karani, Suvarna Karani and Sandhani to cure the ailments caused by Inderjit's weapon. All these herbs were available between Kailash and Rishabha mountain, however, Hanuman ji struggled to identify these herbs. As a result, Hanuman ji lifts the entire mountain range and carries it to Sri Lanka. 

The strong healing power of the herbs helped Shri Ram, Lakshman and the entire army in regaining their consciousness. 

A similar episode occurred in Chapter 102, when Lakshman ji suffered heavy injuries due to Interjit's arrows and later lost consciousness. Then Sugriva sent Hanuman ji to extract herbs from Mahodara mountain located in Dronagiri range (which is now identified as Dunagiri in Almora district of Uttarakhand state). 

In present day Sri Lanka, 'Sri Pada' mountain is considered to be the same mountain that Hanuman ji carried from Dronagiri range. It is a unique mountain in Sri Lankan mountain range. The vegetation on mountain is similar to the vegetation on Himalayas and is in contrast with Sri Lankan fauna. The mountain is rich with different medicinal herbs and is believed to have Himalayan origins.

Senior BJP Leader and Hindutva Warrior, Dr Subramanian Swamy to lead the fight for Kashi Gyanvapi Liberation

Dr Subramanian Swamy is the Hindu Dharma Rakshak, a Warrior, whose combative style is now uniting Hindutva forces under his umbrella. His success at Ram Mandir and Ram Setu has paved way for other disputed sites, which have suffered due to Islamic invasions.

Sants and Hindu activists across India are now queuing up for Dr Swamy's help in relieving temples from government control and restoring grand old Hindu temples that were lost to invaders. Just recently, the all India apex body of Hindu Seers and Saints, 'Akhil Bhartiya Sant Samiti' (ABSS) have decided to restore Kashi Gyanvapi site (Kashi Vishwanath Mandir) and Mathura Janamsthan  back to the original glory. 

At a meeting that was held in March 2020, ABSS formed the Shri Kashi Gyanvapi Mukta Yagna Committee for the liberation of Kashi Gyanvapi site. As per the meeting, senior BJP leader, Dr Subramanian Swamy will be the president of the committee and will explore & push for all possible options to restore Kashi Vishwanath Temple. Advocate Vijay Shankar Rastogi will work as vice-president and Swami Jeetendrananda as General Secretary of the of Sri Kashi Gyanvapi Mukti Yagna Samiti.

Tweeting on the above, Dr Swamy mentioned that liberation of Kashi Gyanvapi site is essential for the achievement of Hindu Renaissance. Dr Swamy expressed hope that Muslim community will cooperate with Hindus in this matter.

With this development, Dr Swamy has become the De-facto chief of all Hindutva matters. It is evident by the extent of support he is garnering within the Hindutva world.

With Ram Mandir dream becoming a reality, Hindus heading towards a new era of Ram Rajya!

Heartiest congratulations to all fellow Hindu brothers and sisters on the historic occasion of foundation ceremony of Ram Janam Bhoomi. Ram Mandir victory is sweet and belongs to every Hindu across the street in different parts of India. From a simple sadhu to a common householder and from ground level Kar sewaks to Dr Subramanian Swamy, every Hindu is happy and looking forward to see the beginning of a new era. 

For 500 years, Hindus fought to restore the pride and honor of Bharat-Khand and to witness the resurrection of the invincible Prabhu Shri Ram who took birth in the material world to redeem his devotees and enemies both. After 5th August 2020, Hindus will soon be witness to the grand Ram lala temple in Ayodhya. 

While everyone played his part very well, few fighters deserve special mention for this historic victory. For example, the Kothari brothers who laid down their lives in the service of Prabhu Shri Ram. The untimely death of these two young brothers galvanized Hindus across the country, which strengthened the Ram Janam Bhoomi movement. A dozen other activists and Sadhus like  Bairagi Abhiram Das, Devraha Baba, Moropant Pingle, Mahant Avaidyanath and others played their respective role for Ram Mandir during different eras. 

In the present day, former VHP President, Late Ashok Singhal ji and current BJP leader, Dr Subramanian Swamy played the most prominent role in making this dream come true. How can one forget that famous image of Ashok Singhal ji, where his head was bleeding profusely yet he was leading from the front and giving instructions to karsewaks at a time when Mulayam Singh Yadav's government had ordered police action against Karsewaks. 

Years later, during UPA's decade of darkness, Ashok Singhal ji came in close contact with Dr Swamy primarily due to concerns over dredging of Ram Setu, which was of course resolved by Dr Swamy in the last minute court battle. Ashok Singhal ji had also formed firm belief that Ram Mandir matter can be resolved by the indomitable Dr Subramanian Swamy. 

In 2015, when Ashok Singhal ji was battling with poor health, he took Dr Swamy's promise to keep fighting for Ram Mandir at Ayodhya. Never to back-off from his words, Dr Swamy initiated Ram Mandir battle in the courts. In 2016, his writ petition (on Fundamental Right to Worship at RJB site) got listed in the SC. Thereon, Dr Swamy resolutely pursued the matter in SC and his relentless fight finally took proper shape in 2019, when SC agreed for day-to-day hearings for Ram Mandir. 

Dr Swamy's WP added great deal of ammunition to otherwise lacklustre title dispute, which was languishing in SC from 2010 to 2016. His argument on 'Fundamental right to worship' gave a new lease of life to prevailing hopelessness in the matter. In the present context, especially from 2010 to 2020, Dr Swamy's fight for Ram Mandir is exceptional. 

Dr Swamy is truly blessed to have completed two significant works (Ram Setu & Ram Mandir) of Shri Ram and all Hindus are truly blessed to see Dr Swamy in action. 

Over-dependence on Chinese Telecom companies like Huawei is detrimental for Indian Telecom sector

In the wake of growing tensions with China, Indian telecom sector is grappling with new challenges related to implementation and  selection of wireless infrastructure in the country. Historically, India has been dependent on Chinese firms (such as Huawei and ZTE) for the roll out of telecom infrastructure.  

However, industry stakeholders are now maintaining caution over Chinese engagement in the possible roll out of 5G technology in the country. Amid Covid-19 crisis, China's global image has taken a severe hit due to its suspicious conduct in hiding the spread of virus.  

China's track record of intellectual property rights violations have further aggravated its issues with US. As a result, US & European countries have banned Huawei and ZTE amid growing concerns of espionage and snooping. In February 2014, Huawei and ZTE were also reported to have hacked BSNL network and the matter was discussed in the parliament. An inquiry commission was formed to investigate the matter, however, the report hasn't been submitted till today. 

With Chinese manufacturers controlling 75% share of the Indian telecom infrastructure market, the current situation in the telecom sector looks grim. Since Huawei has significant investments in the sector, it desperately wants to be part of 5G auction process. On the contrary, US has banned Huawei in the US market and don't want it to be a part of Indian Telecom market, as this can also facilitate the Chinese manufacturer to gain proxy access to US equipments.

Interestingly, IIT Madras, IIT Hyderabad and IIT Delhi have exhibited their capabilities in 5G technology. While IIT Madras developed an indigenous 5G test bed in 2018, IIT Delhi has set up a 5G lab in collaboration with Ericsson. Unfortunately, the government only allocated ₹250 crore for the development of such a prominent next generation platform.

The government committed a strategic error in ignoring domestic innovations in 5G, which has amplified the existing telecom crisis in India. Moreover, engagement with Chinese manufacturers will adversely impact security of India's wireless infrastructure.

Apart from IIT innovation labs, Reliance JIO claims to have developed 5G solution, which will be available for deployment in 2021. Other players such as Vodafone and Airtel have been dependent on Huawei for their 3G and 4G platforms. With government deciding to keep Huawei out, operating costs of these communication service providers will increase considerably.

In national interest, the government can adopt the following measures to safeguard Telecom infrastructure domain in the absence of Chinese firms:

• Increase government spending on IIT innovation labs in order to facilitate mass adoption. 
• Establish a separate PSU or form a new team of engineers under BSNL for 5G rollout.
• Form partnership agreements with other global telecom infra majors such as Samsung, Apple and Ericsson to seek knowledge sharing in 5G rollout.
• Neutralize attempts of 5G monopolization by firms such as Reliance Jio to safeguard consumer interests. 

Calls for 'Make in India' or 'Vocal for local' will gain credibility only if government encourages domestic innovation, which later develops capabilities to replace foreign technologies. 

Withdraw minority specific reservations at Minority institutions, funded by tax payers money, to bring parity in education system

Minority institutions across India receive grants from government and channelize a large percentage of these funds for the welfare and benefits of minorities such as Christians, Muslims, Jains, Parasis etc. Such inconsistencies rip-off the right of hard-working and meritorious hindu students to receive benefits of better education from these institutes.

Despite having a meritorious record, majority Hindu students are left out from these educational institutions only because of their religious background. With 50% of the seats reserved for minorities, general category Hindu students have to fight for remaining seats. This is the prevalent trend among so called prestigious minority colleges such as St Stephens, St Xaviers, Jesus & Mary College, Loyola College etc.

In a recent tweet, Dr Swamy highlighted St Stephens case to prove the disparities in the system. The tweet calls for a re-look at the existing education system with the purpose of introducing further reforms. 

Minority institutions, especially the aided Christian & Muslim universities are not even bound by government rules on caste based reservation. As these institutions don't comply with such reservations, the entire burden of uplifting students from backward classes is borne by state and Hindu administered private universities. 

Hindus account for max percentage of tax revenues, yet their hard earned money is channelized into minority institutions which practice open discrimination against the same majority. These discrepancies have resulted in the spread of Madrasas and Christian education institutions.

Minority institutions are also responsible for building up the anti-India narrative (eg: anti-CAA protests by Jamia Milia, AMU and St Stephens), which is an irritant within the country. They need continuous monitoring with multiple checks to prevent spread of anti-India sentiment. Negligence in this regard can create unnecessary divide, tensions and instability in the country. Therefore, a carrot and stick policy will be more suitable while handling such institutions.

India's prevailing governance system and existing political setup don't seem to care about bringing the desired changes. Forget domination, majority Hindus are not even provided a level playing field in their own homeland. Such blatant digression of secularism won't be found in any other secular country.

Don't permit foreign universities to set up branches in India: BJP leader, Dr Subramanian Swamy

BJP government has come up with a new education policy (NEP), which is being lauded across different sections of society. NEP 2020 has replaced 34 year old National Policy on Education, framed in 1986. 

Although seen as a mixed bag by educationists, NEP does cover certain aspects that will be game changer in the long run. For example, inclusion of pre-schooling years in the school structure, mother tongue as a medium of instruction up to Class V and increasing government spend on education to 6% of GDP are some path breaking reforms.

On the flip side, making higher education institutes as multi-disciplinary centres of learning could adversely impact the specialized identity of engineering and technical colleges. Typically, Arts and sciences subjects don't gel well in higher education institutes that build their reputation through specialization.

Moreover, allowing foreign universities to set up campuses through 100% FDI route could adversely impact the functioning of domestic institutes. Although the FDI proposal was first cleared in UPA rule, Modi government reversed the decision in 2014 due to Dr Swamy's intervention. 

Now, BJP government has cleared the UPA era FDI proposal of foreign universities which risks the existence of domestic institutes operating through limited resources. Dr Swamy's opposition to this proposal is mainly due to the source of funding of these foreign universities. The US department of education (DOE) is already investigating the funding sources of Ivy league universities such as Harvard and Yale.

According to US DOE, both the universities have received funding of US$ 6.5 billion from countries like China, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and UAE. In this context, these Ivy league institutions seem to have lost their original character and values, which formed the basis of their foundation.

Allowing full FDI in higher education is against national interests due to the following reasons:

• Some of the Foreign Universities have questionable sources of funding
• Adverse impact on the functioning of domestic institutes
• Foreign Universities will build their own narrative within the country which may be contrary to India's principles, values and culture.
• Usually FDIs are driven by objectives of profitability and expansion rather than knowledge transfer
• FDI neglects the concept of Universalism of education

Given the above context, FDI in education may not necessarily yield the stated objectives and could be counter-productive to nationalistic sentiments.

  

Withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan and its geo-strategic implications for India

On February 29, 2020, US signed a peace deal with Taliban, which would entail complete withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan. The peace deal will help US to significantly reduce its economic and human resource costs that are attached with military presence in a foreign country. Given the fragile nature of Afghanistan democracy, the country's future minus US presence, is seen with uncertainty and fear.

Even though US presence in Afghanistan subdued Taliban's influence in the country, its network with international terror organizations like Al Qaeda, ISIS and Pak based groups like Jaish-E-Mohammed and Lashker-E-Taiba remained active. For example, the recent attack on a Sikh Temple in Kabul resulting in loss of 27 Sikh lives, is considered to be coordinated effort of multiple terror outfits. 

With Taliban bidding time for complete withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, changing dynamics in the war ravaged country could be highly disruptive for South Asia. Absence of US troops will give a free hand to Pakistan to dominate Afghanistan. Pakistan's ISI has already played an instrumental role in brokering the peace deal between US and Taliban. The deal has given recognition to Taliban as an authorized stakeholder in Afghanistan's governance. 

At present the terror strikes are limited, however, US withdrawal will remove the pressure valve, which can have a potentially blasting effect. 

China's growing belligerence, coupled with increasing influence of Pakistan in the Afghanistan region, will multiply India's problems. Pakistan's poor financial situation has made it subservient to China's business and geo-political interests in the region. As a result, a joint military op of China, Pak and Taliban against India is highly probable in the next six to nine months. 

Taliban and Pakistan based terror groups have set up multiple joint training centres in southern and central Afghanistan. The purpose will be to launch joint terrorist strikes in different cities of India. As per a recent report by United Nations, nearly 6,500 Pakistani nationals are fighting alongside terrorist groups in Afghanistan.

Prior to withdrawal of troops, US did seek India's help in establishing military presence in the strife torn country. However, Indian leadership looked the other way and now the situation seems more volatile than ever before. Indian military presence in Afghanistan was highly advantageous for the Geo-political security of the region and would have served Indian security interests. Moreover, US was willing to provide financial support and advanced weaponry to India.

According to Dr Subramanian Swamy, benefits of a Indian military presence in Afghanistan significantly outweigh the ensuing costs. On the contrary, costs (in the form of terror strikes) could be significantly high for not setting up military base in the region.  

Hypothetically, India's acceptance of US offer for mediation in Afghanistan would have accrued the following benefits:

• Protection of Indian investment in Afghanistan
• Continuous monitoring of terrorist activities in the region
• Subdued influence of Pakistan in Afghan politics
• Prevention of the formation of a coalition or alliance of terrorist organizations, which could be adverse to India's security interests
• Rise in global standing and India's emergence as a strong regional power
• Control over China's aggressive maneuvers in Ladakh and other border regions.

In national interest, current ruling dispensation needs to realign its strategy towards Afghanistan. Any confusion with respect to India's geo-political strategy and the path forward may result in isolation and instability in the region.
