STOPPING MODI AT ALL COSTS
by Gautam
Sen
A US decision has evidently reaffirmed
that Narendra Modi cannot be allowed to become
prime
minister of India. This is similar to the verdict reached on the elected
President of Egypt, Mohammed Morsi. The US simply did not trust him and the
Muslim Brotherhood to keep their promises of good behaviour. It seems the
conclusion was that Morsi had to be removed from power despite his firm
crackdown on the interests of the Hamas in Egypt and emollient tone about other
issues of concern to the US. The Saudis had also weighed in because the
Muslim Brotherhood has historically laid claim to leadership of the Islamic
world. This was an intolerable threat to US influence over what has been State
Department Islam, the best antidote to Arab nationalism and underpinning for
anti-communism, in the context of the Cold War, through a supine Saudi
monarchy, totally dependent on the US for survival. The US was also possibly
aware of everything Morsi was saying in private through its comprehensive
eavesdropping activities that leave little confidential. It is probable that
Morsi was counselling his Muslim Brotherhood associates of the need to bide
their time.
Narendra
Modi’s case is not fundamentally different because it is feared that Modi and
his supporters will curtail the huge incursions into India by US agencies the
UPA has facilitated. It is assumed that once Modi forms the government and
becomes aware that India’s is well on the way to becoming a US banana republic
satellite–in the age-old Central American and Asian tradition, subject to
indirect rule–he will move to end it. The US has evidently infiltrated India on
a massive scale, blackmailing politicians with covertly acquired information,
sponsoring countless secular and religious foundations and the purchase of a
huge swathe of the Indian media.
However,
the erstwhile BJP as such was not really a drawback for the US because some of
its prominent leaders have been very close to the US, virtual spokesmen for it.
Others bent over backwards during the tenure of the NDA to please. Two of the
BJP’s most senior decision makers, including the late Brajesh Mishra, even made
offers of sending Indian troops to join the coalition in Afghanistan. The
Americans themselves had not made such a request to India because it would have
sent their vital ally in the Afghan war into veritable frenzy. This idea was
very wisely vetoed personally by Atal Behari Vajpayee himself!
The
Muslim Brotherhood is now facing savage repression, with the US-backed Egyptian
military embarked on a reign of terror. It has not hesitated to kill hundreds
of civilian Muslim Brotherhood demonstrators, including many women, by the
simple expedient of shooting them while they slept. It is also systematically
decapitating the Muslim Brotherhood political leadership. The Egyptian military
has effectively re-imposed a dictatorship that is a prelude to shepherding its
own pliant creatures into power, but through a process that assures an outward
democratic fig leaf. The Muslim Brotherhood has been denounced as a terrorist
organisation and cannot contest elections.
An
even harsher version of this model for maintaining US control was tried out
successfully in Algeria during the 1990s. The US and French sponsored Algerian
military dispensation killed anything up to 300,000 civilians to eliminate the
radical Islamic Salvation Group. The free Fourth Estate of Europe and the US
played its usual collaborationist role. It blamed the army of the Islamic
Salvation Group for the widespread killings, often of their own supporters, in
orgies of mindless bloodlust, however incredible and unlikely that might
appear. The bloody conflict lasted a decade and ended with the total
destruction of the Islamic radicals. The Western intervention, which has
destroyed much of Syria, killing more than 150,000 people, to the approving
clamour of the Western human rights lobby, is another variant for re-imposing
imperial control over a country. The invasion and destruction of Iraq was
another, the death toll approximately 2 million so far.
The
Indo-US nuclear accord has puzzled many observers, especially the mostly
ill-informed Indian public. Some insiders involved in the negotiation of the
Indo-US Nuclear Accord were also mystified by the US decision to allow India to
ascend, in effect, to the extraordinary status of a bona fide nuclear power.
Even more apparently inexplicable was the direct efforts made by President
George Bush Jnr. himself to ensure a favourable outcome at the IAEA
negotiations. He made a personal phone call to the President of China at a
crucial juncture of the negotiations, when the latter embarked on a discreet,
last-minute manoeuvre to scupper the deal it had agreed earlier with the US.
An
excellent, revealing account of China’s machinations, by a senior Indian
journalist present in Vienna was buried by his editor, the owner of India’s
most pro-Chinese daily. In the end, the most knowledgeable attributed this
paramount political American decision, recognising India as a nuclear power, to
President Bush supposedly becoming enamoured with the country on a visit during
the 1990s. It is unconvincing, indeed inconceivable that such a decision of
huge political import could have been the product of a sentimental whim.
Although it is possible Bush acquired an undue affection for India, however
weird that might seem to even the most patriotic Indian.
The
decision to accord India nuclear status occurred because of a US perception
that it had finally managed to acquire a durable foothold in it and access to
high level Indian decision-making during the tenure of the UPA. Indeed, it
seems, the US was even able to determine appointments to the Union
Cabinet, certainly in the case of the Commerce and the Environment
portfolios and perhaps even the EAM’s selection is cleared now by the US
ambassador in Delhi.
The
granting of nuclear status to India, which was well and truly an enormous gift
was motivated by the US view of India as a new client satellite. The journey in
this fateful direction began during the tenure of the NDA and has neared
completion under a totally subverted UPA. To their credit, both Jawaharlal
Nehru and India Gandhi had resisted this dire predicament during the first
decades of Indian independence. The UPA of course represents mainly the
family, rather than India and is also deferential to the US, which is the fate
of the family itself as well. Quite noticeably, the US has helpfully striven to
conceal any embarrassing information on the likely UPA prime ministerial
candidate. The purchase of untested Westinghouse nuclear reactors as quid
pro quo for the Indo-US Accord was a less significant secondary understanding.
One also begins to understand why the UPA became an agent WalMarts rather than
representing the vital interests of millions of Indian retailers.
This
does not mean India accedes to all US dictates, for example over the purchase
of Iranian crude. However, a deeper subservience to US preferences has been
established and is being institutionalised. The US has become the major
shareholder in the equity of the GoI, much as it has been in Pakistan for
decades. Mohammed Morsi may have eventually brought its own divinely-sanctioned
misfortune to Egypt, but his entrapment, after the preliminary honeyed
effusions from Washington, is a lesson for Indians, themselves on the verge of
losing control over their country. Morsi was never in full command of the
Egyptian government and the affairs of the country, despite an overwhelming
electoral mandate. The religious obsessions of the Muslim Brotherhood also
constrained a calculated grasp of the harsh secular international realities
lapping around them.
They
were determined to achieve, in short order, some of their Shariah-ordained
goals on personal conduct, especially pertaining to women’s dress codes and
sexual behaviour, a central pillar in the history of Islam, imperial expansion
apart. The desire to impose curbs on other supposedly un-Islamic liberal
freedoms was also accorded high priority. Yet, he was never in full control of
critical economic issues like food and petroleum prices, which rose inexorably.
As a result, a myriad of voluntary organisations and media outlets, blatantly
sponsored by the US, had tens of thousands of the religiously less observant on
the streets, baying for his blood. Within days of his brutal overthrow prices
and other shortages mitigated and the Saudis and Kuwaitis extended huge loans
to the beleaguered Egyptian economy.
The
virtually instant announcement, after the swearing-in of Arvind Kejriwal and
his juvenile crew, following their inept, comic preening for the media, was a
hunger-strike in Bhopal and the decision to contest elections in Gujarat. The goal
of AAP is now blindingly obvious. The intention is to split the
anti-Congress vote to prevent Modi and the BJP winning enough seats in 2014 to
form a viable government. The other alternative outcome would be to reduce
their number sufficiently to facilitate the barely-concealed claim of his
implacable opponents inside the BJP to propose an alternative candidate for
prime minister, ostensibly to help form a governing coalition. The Indian
domestic political support for the AAP intervention is from the counterparts of
the so-called young and liberal in Cairo’s Tahir Square. They are really all a
product of India’s manipulative and manipulated English language media, much of
it in hock to banks and foreign conglomerate owners.
How
the AAP originated and their personal international ties are indeed a matter of
interest, but not the only issue. The Magasaysay award is a known instrument
for affording recognition to Asians sensitive to the US portrayal of the world.
Volunteering to work for Mother Teresa is also an agreeable item on a CV,
indicating desirable political impulses to Western governments. At the very
least, the US has intervened in a dynamically unstable Indian polity to affect
outcomes. Funding a useful political or voluntary local entity through an
Indian business house is standard practice for foreign countries. They
reimburse the business house by engaging with it in an unrelated profitable
transaction. The Saudis regularly employ such business deals in India on behalf
of Pakistan and the US does so as well in scores of countries. It offers
complete anonymity and its legality hard to question.
The
final solution to a difficult and high stakes political standoff will be to
assassinate Narendra Modi. The attempt already made in Patna is almost certain
to have had foreign participation and the background to it presents a truly
shocking picture of high level local complicity. Attempts to assassinate Modi
are likely to occur again. Determined efforts continue to incite Islamic
radicals to make such an attempt, by funding endless court proceedings to
ensure the accusations over the 2002 Gujarat riots remain alive. The
logistical backup for any plan to murder Narendra Modi will likely originate in
Pakistan, already rejoicing at the colossal damage to Indian intelligence the
UPA attempt to curb him has inflicted. It is also extremely suspect that
invitations to Narendra Modi to visit came from three close US allies, two of
them with little compelling reason for extending them. The US itself persists
in using the issue of his visa to cause him whatever negative publicity
possible. Quite clearly, assassinating him abroad might have been considered
more logistically feasible and less damaging politically than in India. The
intention is to end the career of the most popular Indian politician since
independence and one that threatens to assert it.

Dear Mr. Aiyar,
I don’t know if I can even address you, as I
have not studied in St. Stephen’s, I was born in a small nursing home in
Tirunelveli, my great grandmother sold Idlis to make ends meet, my
father-in-law was just a teacher, my husband didn’t have shoes when he went for
his first job interview, I had just two pairs of clothes while growing up, I
studied upto my 2nd standard in a school that no longer exists, Krishnan’s
school also is no longer in existence, my father wrote accounts in a temple so
he could fund his education and eat one meal, both my father and father-in-law
started working at the age of 14… My husband and I currently live in a suburb
of Delhi called Gurgaon, I am very worried if you won’t let me be here because
we don’t “fit”, we aren’t from Doon school, Tripos college besides being from
St. Stephens, we also have not been in the Indian Foreign Service for 26 years
and we certainly don’t count Nehruji’s grandson amongst our friends, I don’t
think
we can speak English as well as you do, we will
have to manage in Tamil, the local language and your forgotten mother tongue,
in your constituency, Mayiladuthurai.
Some things that we might have in common, either
your friend’s family or your daughters would have used a L’Oreal shampoo, my
husband Krishnan was part of the team that launched L’Oreal in India… Hmmm, I
am racking my brains for some other connection. Krishnan started his career
with Cipla, the Indian pharmaceutical company, setup on the behest of Gandhiji,
the original Mahatma, not your friend’s father and you might have taken some
medicine that they manufactured, but I doubt that. So we will continue to worry
about not being in the same league.
Mr. Aiyar, did you know that our second prime
minister Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri was almost adopted by a milkman ? I guess by
your standards he should not have become the PM, but should have supplied milk
perhaps to all the Congress party workers. Mr. Aiyar, am sure you have
travelled to Uruguay as you are a well travelled person, so I would like you to
read about their president on this link
’Worlds poorest president.. <http://www.thecollectiveint.com/2013/05/the-worlds-poorest-president-may-also.html>
Shocking, how can a former revolutionary become
the President of a country and on top of that remain poor?? Giving away 90% of
his earnings - maybe if he was in India, you would have wanted him to grow the
vegetables that Congress party workers could eat.
Mr. Modi unfortunately didn’t know that if he
sold tea in his younger days, he should have just continued doing that and not
ever dream of being the PM of this country. Forgive him, Mr. Aiyar, he didn’t
study in Doon school, he didn’t serve in the IFS, so he doesn’t know the
protocol - that only one family, that of your esteemed friend is deserving of being
the PM of this country because they don’t sell tea in their growing up years,
they study in Doon school, and they have the ability to reduce a Cambridge
educated man into a puppet PM, they also marry into families that are
mysterious, they have fat Swiss bank accounts, and well, they probably don’t
drink tea even. Mr. Modi, did you get it ? Don’t worry Mr. Aiyar, someone will
translate this blog into Hindi or I can even, as I speak and write Hindi very
well, it is my first language. I wrote it in English so you would understand.
Mr. Modi understanding or not doesn’t matter, he after all can just supply tea
to Congr
ess party workers.
Mr. Aiyar, a question for you, can a person like
me, who didn’t sell tea, or milk or any other food product, dream of being the
Prime Minister or President of India ? Now that I think of it, Dr. Sarvepalli
Radhakrishnan, one of our well known Presidents, also is from the non-existent
school that Krishnan studied in and so is President V V Giri. Guess, both were
mistakes according to you.
Now Mr. Aiyar, if you still drink coffee that
your forefathers drank at home, smell it, and find the first flight out to a
country of your choice, because Mr. Modi will sell tea to the Congress party at
a premium and from 7, Race Course Road as the PM of India soon, if not him,
some other “chai wallah” or “jhadu wali” will be the prime minister, not the
twit that your friend had for a son !! Just get out - we have had enough of
your snobbery, and your corrupt party’s ways and really enough of your friend’s
family. Maybe they can sell Cappuccino in Italy and try becoming the PM there
and leave India to tea drinking and tea selling Indians.
With best regards
Bindu
Incase anyone was wondering which Mr. Aiyar I
refer to in this letter, it’s Mani Shankar Aiyar. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Arun Shrivastava- Hindustan
Times
Emerging political scenario 2014: Arun
Shrivastava, quick review based on inputs from agencies.
The year began with an undignified and
completely unnecessary attacks on Narendra Modi by lame duck octogenarian
Manmohan Singh with a vile statement that the future Prime Minister will cause
problems for India. As usual, he avoided expanding his one liner.
UPA-II under stewardship of Manmohan has exposed
his hollow economic knowledge and zero political sense.
The kind of people he selected in his cabinet
has virtually destroyed India’s economy, education system, financial system,
monetary system and, not stopping there, they completely compromised India’s
national security structure. Detailed analysis of what UPA-II has done will be
done soon, now that it is clear that Congress inn UPA-II has given up hope of
even getting 1/3 of Parliamentary seats.
In fact, it should prepare for its funeral
ceremony after 128 years of misleading Indians under British imperial tutelage.
Manmohan may go down in Congress Party’s history as the most despicable leader.
Some of us analysts see 2014 as a watershed
year.
After total destruction, a nation has two
options. Option one is to start quick and effective reconstruction, which only
Narendra Modi can achieve. The second option of letting a situation of drift go
on under direction, supervision and control of Western powers which Aam Admi
Party has proven to be most capable of.
Let us take the second option first. For the
past 2-3 years Modi’s guests have included the ambassadors of leading West
European countries including UK. The Gujarat Chief made it clear to them that
he is a nationalist. The western powers perceive a nationalist as their “ENEMY
NO.1.” Any third world leader that has asserted national sovereignty and
nationalism has been crushed through overt and covert wars, civil unrest, even
engineered civil wars. Leaders like Sukarno, Patrick Lumumba, Hugo Chavez, Che
Guevara, Fidel Castro Ruz, Milosevic, even De’ Gaulle who asserted the French
nationalism, were unceremoniously removed by the Anglo-American Zionist cabal.
The Left parties are also the cabal’s creation.
But what Manmohan did was even better than what
the top leaders of Left, certain leaders of BJP and other regional parties have
done other than merely collaborating with western imperial powers.
Manmohan Singh literally handed over the
Government to the corporate driven UN-Framework Team [so much so that dubious
agencies like the World Bank is even guiding the major surveys of Ministry of
Rural Development], civilian and military intelligence to Mossad, CIA and MI6
and India’s Central Bank [the Reserve Bank of India] to a minion of European
and London banksters Raghuram Rajan.
If hard evidences of abdication of political and
economic sovereignty are required please quietly speak with departmental
officers. However, it became clear to the Western monopoly capital that Modi
will not play ball with them because Modi is a true nationalist.
Two days ago a few top US embassy officials
confirmed that they funded and steered Aam Admi Party [AAP].
AAP is a clone of colour revolution leaders,
removing nationalist leaders, offering false hope of “clean government to the
people.” Just as other colour revolution leaders in Central and West Asia
forced upon the people by the Gene Sharp –George Soros duo, AAP has been
literally pulled by the scruff of their collective neck by the Western monopoly
capital and made to form one of the most important state Governments backed by
the same party whose hands are soaked in scams after scams.
From the time AAP was inserted into capital’s
social and political landscape, it has proven to be the false messiah. It
received money from Ford Foundation which is directly controlled by the CIA.
Its leaders then said that they simply want to remove corruption and that they
have no interest in forming a political party. Both contentions were proven a
huge lie. Then they said they will neither have alliance with Congress nor BJP,
and they have done exactly that. Kejriwal’s contention that he had 378 pages of
hard evidence of corruption against former Chief Minister Sheila Dixit; now he
asks BJP to present the evidence! He promised us that he will bring down
electricity price by 50% but played another game of subsidy when he should
know, being a qualified engineer from IIT, that electricity cost from coal and
hydro should not cost more than Rs 2.25 per unit. Gujarat charges a little over
Rs 4 and private firms are still investing in power sector there. So, this was
yet
another lie. His cabinet’s decision to shun
Government residence and perks has yet to be proven.
Media was carefully directed to present a huge
image build up for Arwind and his fellow travellers. The mainstream Indian
media never ever gave the same importance of simple living and cost saving
examples as set by Chief Ministers of Goa, Tripura, and West Bengal. Why? It is
not a rocket science to analyse media coverage and behaviour and come to a
solid conclusion that India’s main TV channels and broadsheet have carefully
built a positive image about leaders who are complicit with the west.
Now, a party that was not even a cohesive group
barely twelve months ago is planning to contest 300 seats nationally. Money, as
they claim, is pouring in; the media reports that they have the support of over
100,000 retired bureaucrat, judges, police officials, etc. Why didn’t they say
200,000? Or even 1 million? Where did this figure of 100,000 come from? Was it
given to them by Kejriwal or did they do a survey?
What happened in recent past is worth noting.
Rajnath Singh in a recent visit to the USA made it clear to the US investors
that the BJP will not support FDI in retail. Modi himself had clearly stated
his opposition to FDI in retail in India Today conclave. He may review every
treaty –both overt and covert- signed by Manmohan Singh, including one that
allows a European country to dump pig shit in India. The review might expose
the misdeeds of Nato members led by UK, France and Germany. Most people have
forgotten that former French President Sarkozy was promised by Manmohan SIngh
US Dollar 40-60 billion worth of nuclear hardware which was clearly televised
in an Arnabh anchored discussion. People missed that statement made by the
former nuclear establishment chief. There was too much at stake for the western
government to not upset the BJP tsunami.
For the time being, India’s enemies have
partially succeeded. But a rapid reorganization and consolidation of all the
evil forces are gathering. It is up to the leadership of Modi and Modi alone
that can take on these forces.
