But I am more worried and pained at the state of our security apparatus and the mindless finger-pointing that goes on. I may be condemned for saying that we had to wake up to this horror while has triggered the chatteratti into taking up the issue of national security so stronly. I am ashamed on my PMs shame for his lapse. Is he not ashamed for the death of 16,632 farmers(correct me if I am wrong). Is he not ashamed when bombs ripped through New Delhi, Mombay, Assam and so many other places? Is it only when the intelligensia get whacked that we wake up to the horrors of terrorism? What happened to kabul? Why backpedal on your intended angry ourpourings? Why did we as a nation not act more decisively? Why did we need to go through a mumbai? I may be chastised for thinking that it is pure hot air that is being blown around in parliament. I dare not think that the political elite will use the military option against terror targets- lest it lead to a nuke fallout. I mean not the real war but, the loss of 123… which has been bargained through much of wheeling and dealing. I feel it is only posturing for the imbeciles like the common man who will be befooled by seeing such pronouncements timed before the elections which is aimed more at hijacking the issue of national security from the other opponent who is equally discredited. The cartoons know very well that this country is filled with people who suffer from acute amnesia and will forget the events in a few months time. Do we allow it to be a game to be played around. Thankfully the media is going along with this tomfoolery that very soon we will find that things are back to usual. It is no wonder that with such eminent sponsors of the media as described by Indian –do we need any more terrorists who are out to run down the institutions which are not- ‘media savvy’. Let us not allow the self-appointed intelligensia who go around as fourth column (sorry, Fifth column) who play into the hands of our enemies by their insensitive reporting. Even if you do not paint a rosy picture of the nation, atleast do not brandish to the world at large your dirty stinking undergarments. It only shows your maturity-or rather the lack of it. War is not an option-it may be the last. But a decisive action, perhaps a covert annihilation of the terror targets is what is the need of the hour. We may not be able to get away –given the pressure from the world powers by launching a punitive strike, but a dedicated mission which is well planned and co-ordinated and precise will be a possible option. We need to be willing as a nation – as one voice to do so. Are we capable? Yes, we are! But, are we bold enough- perhaps doubtful. If you do not confront terror at their own lair It may confront you in your territory. I wish the media focuses on such issues and not on another election time tehelka!-<BR/>Humbly- A Common mannandycoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16822671248922029290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050542.post-46080463845599146092008-12-12T14:01:00.000+05:302008-12-12T14:01:00.000+05:30Dear all, http://ckunte.com/archives/shoddy-journ...Dear all, <BR/><BR/> http://ckunte.com/archives/shoddy-journalism<BR/><BR/>Shoddy journalism<BR/><BR/>Thu, 27 Nov 2008 at 22:39 • Chyetanya Kunte • Filed under India , Moods and Blues<BR/><BR/>Appalling journalism. Absolute blasphemy! As I watch the news from<BR/>home, I am dumbfounded to see Barkha Dutt of NDTV break every rule of ethical journalism in reporting the Mumbai meyhem. Take a couple of instances for example:<BR/><BR/>In one instance she asks a husband about his wife being stuck, or held as a hostage. The poor guy adds in the end about where she was last<BR/>hiding. Aired! My dear friends with AK-47s, our national news is helping you. Go get those still in. And be sure to thank NDTV for not censoring this bit of information.<BR/><BR/><BR/>In another instance, a General sort of suggests that there were no hostages in Oberoi Trident. (Clever.) Then, our herione of revelations<BR/>calls the head of Oberoi, and the idiot confirms a possibility of 100 or more people still in the building. Hello! Guys with guns, you've got more goats to slay. But before you do, you've got to love NDTV and more precisely Ms. Dutt. She's your official intelligence from Ground zero.<BR/><BR/>You do not need to be a journalist to understand the basic premise of ethics, which starts with protecting victims first; and that is done by avoiding key information from being aired publicly—such as but not limited to revealing the number of possible people still in, the hideouts of hostages and people stuck in buildings. Imagine you're one of those sorry souls holed-up in one of those bathrooms, or kitchens. A journalist pulls your kin outside and asks about your last contact on national television, and other prying details. In a bout of emotion, if they happen to reveal more details, you are sure going to hell. Remember these are hotels, where in all likelihood, every room has a television. All a terrorist needs to do<BR/>is listen to Ms. Barkha Dutt's latest achievement of extracting information from your relative, based on your last phone-call or SMS.<BR/><BR/>And you're shafted—courtesy NDTV.<BR/><BR/><BR/>If the terrorists don't manage to shove you in to your private hell, the journalists on national television will certainly help you get there. One of the criticisms about Barkha Dutt on Wikipedia reads thus:<BR/><BR/>During the Kargil conflict, Indian Army sources repeatedly complained to her channel that she was giving away locations in her broadcasts,<BR/>thus causing Indian casualties.<BR/><BR/>Looks like the idiot journalist has not learnt anything since then. I join a number of bloggers pleading her to shut the f*** up.<BR/>Update: In fact, I am willing to believe that Hemant Karkare died because these channels showed him prepare (wear helmet, wear<BR/>bullet-proof vest.) in excruciating detail live on television. And they in turn targeted him where he was unprotected. The brave officer succumbed to bullets in the neck.<BR/><BR/><BR/>--<BR/>Regards<BR/><BR/>Gaurav Gupta<BR/>Director, Sadhna TV<BR/><BR/> <BR/>Are our media really patriotic as claimed by mr captainjohann. i dont thik so. shoddy journalism. just for money. they do not care common man's lives or security aspects. fot them how much they can cash on an event that only matters. <BR/><BR/>thing to ponder<BR/><BR/>indianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050542.post-27927994257917100682008-12-12T13:56:00.000+05:302008-12-12T13:56:00.000+05:30DEAR ALL gaurav@sadhna.com Fri, 28 Nov 2008 06:19:...DEAR ALL<BR/><BR/><BR/> gaurav@sadhna.com<BR/><BR/> Fri, 28 Nov 2008 06:19:24 +0000<BR/><BR/>I was a witness to a similar event in drass during kargil war....more than fifty artillery guns including bofors were firing at tiger hill...artillery was not using MBRL (multi barrel rocket launcher)<BR/>because of its short range and strong signature on enemy computers (bofors shells can not be traced to their origin. in any case bofors<BR/>can shoot and scoot)...however a MBRL firing is a beautiful visual..i was standing with the brigadier who was leading the attack...suddenly he shouted " who the hell ordered MBRL"..MBRL had been fired..the enemy read the signature and fired back with in half a minute..MBRL<BR/>had moved by then but three soldiers were still there including captain sumit roy who had just returned after winning three-pimples...they all died...reason :our celebrity lady reporter had<BR/>persuaded a non- artillery colonel to order firing of MBRL for a beautiful shot....the colonel was later taken to task and, if i remember right, cashiered, but our lady is still active making similar mistakes in Mumbai...<BR/><BR/>what a shame on media. for them money is more valuable than a soldiers life.<BR/><BR/>regards <BR/>indianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050542.post-79709728111455002822008-12-11T08:09:00.000+05:302008-12-11T08:09:00.000+05:30Top police officials under fire for errors of judg...Top police officials under fire for errors of judgment <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Praveen Swami <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Leadership lapses marred response to Mumbai terror attack <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>MUMBAI: Errors of judgment and top-level leadership lapses marred the Mumbai police’s management of the first, critical hours of last month’s Lahskar-e-Taiba attack — errors that are now driving calls from for a full review of the force’s crisis response system.<BR/><BR/>Mumbai’s top police officials, highly placed government sources said, failed to take charge of the Police Control Room, the nerve centre of the city police’s overall command structure. Nor did they use the force’s wireless system to rally their men demoralised by the loss of several of officers, notably the heroic joint commissioner of police and chief of the Anti-Terrorism Squad, Hemant Karkare. Instead, one top official chose to station himself and two aides inside a bullet-proof vehicle parked at the National Centre for the Performing Arts Building near the Oberoi Hotel, thus cutting himself off from the broad flow of operations.<BR/><BR/>Coordination at the Police Control Room fell to a committee of three joint commissioners of police — Crime Branch chief Rakesh Maria, his Law and Order counterpart, K.L. Prasad, and Administration head Bhagwantrao More. Without authority over subordinates outside their own chain of command, the control room team achieved little. Mumbai’s police failed to initiate a thoroughgoing lockdown of major roads, to block the potential movement of the terrorist groups. Nor were teams of police personnel dispatched to other potential targets. Worst of all, police and Special Reserve Police personnel stationed in the suburbs were not rushed to reinforce the small, ill-armed groups engaged in the early fighting.<BR/><BR/>In some cases, an officer present in the control room told The Hindu, requests for assistance were ignored. “A couple of people didn’t even pick up their mobile phones,” he said. Mumbai has 25 Deputy Commissioners of Police, spread out across its headquarters and 12 district zones. Just six, the officer said, played a significant role on November 26. “Had there been more groups of terrorists in the city,” a senior officer commented, “or had the Lashkar fidayeen attempted to break out of the hotels along with groups of hostages and head towards the sea, we would not have been in a position to respond.”<BR/><BR/>In fairness to the top official who was in the bullet-proof vehicle — he did not respond to text messages and calls from The Hindu requesting an interview for this story — the Mumbai Police had never rehearsed for a large-scale terror strike. Nor was the force armed or trained to deal with the situation they encountered. However, according to former Punjab Director-General of Police K.P.S. Gill who led the State police during its decisive campaign against Khalistan terrorists, the absence of rehearsal was not an acceptable excuse. “If a crisis ever plays out in the way you had rehearsed,” he argued, “it wouldn’t be a crisis at all.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050542.post-18623056446325701512008-12-09T14:18:00.000+05:302008-12-09T14:18:00.000+05:30Hi,The ownesrship of the papers as given by Indian...Hi,<BR/>The ownesrship of the papers as given by Indian is almost 100% foreign(white skinned) .

Nobody is talking about it? everybody knows pakistan will not help us in this? then whom are we fooling around with? we should set a target first, say 3-4 years and then start working backwards in order to achieve it... does any political party in this country has enough guts to announce a 3-4 year target as apart of election manifesto for putting a full stop against terror??? answer is NO...

Mostly a Pakistani or an Indian, or an Orientalist dressed like an American or a European can be differenciated on face value, without going through there passports. Armed with this basic difference between the so called terrorists from the other continent, America or the European countries have the advantage of focussing only on thirty percent of the population, visiting or staying with them from the other continenet, in order to keep track of the terrorists. Even though they have no past experience of terrorism. Lessons are learnt in the first time itself and communities involved brought under a magnifying scanner and will remain so till these communities prove worthy of trust. A job much easier than faced by the Indian Govt/IB/Security agencies.<BR/>Although Indian ntelligence agencies, at times, based on the past patterns, also, try to reduce their focus from similar looking hundred percent of the Orientalist to thirty percent. For which the politicians have to do lots of diplomatic explaining to the old and the young, innocent, enthusiastic and alert Indian Media. Who needs to be reminded, at times, about the common country's interest.<BR/> The answer to the second question lies in understanding that Even five hundred commandos were considered inadequate when the exact date ( 26 Nov), time( 9PM)and place(TAJ Hotel, Oberoi Hotel , CST) of handfull of terrorists were known, not only to the security agencies, but to the whole Nation, on the indian soil. Where were these two brave policemen, capable of capturing the terrorists based on such knowledge, the experienced R&AW and young electronic media was talking about, when running down there own Indian Navy & the Coast Guard. What does the young and the naive media (Guided by the real & hidden masters e.g. the Secretaries/ Beurocrats in the name of the politicians) expects when poses such questions not to the rulers of this country but to their instruements.<BR/><BR/> It is like blaming the Hand ( The Security Agencies)for missing the target when the eyes ( Informers, R&AW/IB) & the brain (The Govt) fails to percieve the target clearly. <BR/><BR/>Talks, Talks and endless talks .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050542.post-54035811901627514072008-12-07T12:31:00.000+05:302008-12-07T12:31:00.000+05:30Dear All;There are several major publishing groups...Dear All;<BR/>There are several major publishing groups in India , the most prominent among them being the Times of India Group, the Indian Express Group, the Hindustan Times Group, The Hindu group, the Anandabazar Patrika Group, the Eenadu Group, the Malayalam Manorama Group, the Mathrubhumi group, the Sahara group, the Bhaskar group. Let us see the ownership of different media agencies.<BR/><BR/>NDTV: A very popular TV news media is funded by Gospels of Charity in Spain Supports Communism. Recently it has developed a soft corner towards Pakistan because Pakistan President has allowed only this channel to be aired in Pakistan . Indian CEO Prannoy Roy is co-brother of Prakash Karat, General Secretary of the Communist party of India .His wife and Brinda Karat are sisters.<BR/><BR/>India Today which used to be the only national weekly which supported BJP is now bought by NDTV!! Since then the tone has changed drastically and turned into Hindu bashing.<BR/><BR/>CNN-IBN: This is 100 percent funded by Southern Baptist Church with its branches in all over the world with HQ in US. The Church annually allocates $800 million for promotion of its channel. Its Indian head is Rajdeep Sardesai and his wife Sagarika Ghosh.<BR/><BR/>Times group list:<BR/><BR/>Times Of India, Mid-Day, Nav-Bharth Times, Stardust, Femina, Vijay Times, Vijaya Karnataka, Times now (24- hour news channel) and many more.. Times Group is owned by Bennet & Coleman. `World Christian Council?<BR/><BR/>does 80 percent of the Funding, and an Englishman and an Italian equally share balance 20 percent. The Italian Robertio Mindo is a close relative of Sonia Gandhi.<BR/><BR/>Star TV: It is run by an Australian, who is supported by St. Peters Pontifical Church Melbourne.<BR/><BR/>Hindustan Times: Owned by Birla Group, but hands have changed since Shobana Bhartiya took over. Presently it is working in Collaboration with Times Group.<BR/><BR/>The Hindu: English daily, started over 125 years has been recently taken over by Joshua Society, Berne , Switzerland . N. Ram`s wife is a Swiss national.<BR/><BR/>Indian Express: Divided into two groups. The Indian Express and new Indian Express (southern edition) ACTS Christian Ministries have major stake in the Indian Express and latter is still with the Indian counterpart.<BR/><BR/>Eeenadu: Still to date controlled by an Indian named Ramoji Rao. Ramoji Rao is connected with film industry and owns a huge studio in Andhra Pradesh.<BR/><BR/>Andhra Jyothi: The Muslim party of Hyderabad known as MIM along with a Congress Minister has purchased this Telugu daily very recently.<BR/><BR/>The Statesman: It is controlled by Communist Party of India.<BR/><BR/>Kairali TV: It is controlled by Communist party of India (Marxist)<BR/><BR/>Mathrubhoomi: Leaders of Muslim League and Communist leaders have major investment.<BR/><BR/>Asian Age and Deccan Chronicle: Is owned by a Saudi Arabian Company with its chief Editor M.J. Akbar.<BR/><BR/>> > Gujarat riots which took place in 2002 where Hindus were burnt<BR/><BR/>> > alive,<BR/><BR/>Rajdeep Sardesai and Bharkha Dutt working for NDTV at that time got around 5 Million Dollars from Saudi Arabia to cover only Muslim victims, which they did very faithfully. Not a single Hindu family was interviewed or shown on TV whose near and dear ones had been burnt alive, it is reported.<BR/><BR/>Tarun Tejpal of < Tehelka.com regularly gets blank cheques from Arab countries to target BJP and Hindus only, it is said.<BR/><BR/>The ownership explains the control of media in India by foreigners.<BR/><BR/>The result is obvious.<BR/><BR/>PONDER OVER THIS.

You talk to a well educated man man, he is starkingly casiest and regional...abolutely closed minded. Perticularly the leftist and Congress types..who belch out something and practice all bad things of bhadraloka culture including untouchability.<BR/><BR/>Indian society and perticularly its lower middle and poor classes, its rural society, agrerian poors have been badly let down by its petty bourgiouses...the Babus of all hues starting from Patwari to DM to Secretaries. They are the invisible but the most harmfull termites of Indian society. Look at the Computerisation of reservation in railways, some of it is overcome. Babudom was such a bane once for that system. The worst about this institution of Babudom starting from Babu in a school to the Cabinet Secretary is that they fit in all system. This damn fellow can supercede all Priciples and teachers in the school and all specialists in the ministries and deptts. Basically Babu in a hospital / village school and Babu in Ministry are essentailly same.<BR/><BR/>Articles 310 and 311 of the Indian Constitutions continue to remain there. These provisions were introduced by our Masters, the British, in 1935, when Provinical Govts statrted functioning in India. That time the willy Brits did not want their ICS to be troubled by the Indian Kalu Ram heading Provincial govts. After Independence Articles 310 and 311 have been retained under which the state govts can not take disciplinary proceeding against IAS Babu. Even for central govt it is a tedious proceedure. These provisions have become refuge of the IAS scoundrals. Kindly educate people. Article 310 and 311 need immidiate revision or deletion. The steel frame of India is rusty and spreading cancerious infections.<BR/><BR/>There must be a clear cut method of establishing administrative accountability and heads must roll more often than not.<BR/><BR/>Similarily Policing in India continue to represent " state symbol (vardi)" and "Danda (fear)". Weare no longer a colonial govt where symbol and fear of state is the prime requirement. The requirement of the day is Policing, prevention of crimes, establising administrative writs and rule of law. For that Vardi and Danda is not required. Booking or those who break law, bringing them to justice and creating conditions of peace in society is the job. Vardi and Danda are required to establish Political Control and Colonisations. free socities and democracies do not use Police to generate fear but confidence. However our Political class continues to use Police as Political instrument of repression and subjugation.<BR/><BR/>Therefore, the first thing that is required is to Decolonise and Debrutalise Police. Uniform (vardi) and Danda must be taken away from them and they need to be armed with Note Pads, Pistols, Communications and Vehicles. They must look like citizens having only an ID for Police. They must gain confidence of people rather than lord over them with Vardi and Danda. Their craze for stars is psychopathetic. They need to completely change their mindset.<BR/><BR/>These are some basic, simple and doable things which we can begin with. These will have long impact. Babudom means, dealy, obsurity, uncalled for secrecy, domains, ownership of files and info. RTI is correct step in lessoning impact of Babudom.

The media goes on a witch hunt every time someone tells them to do an introspection. The armed forces in this country are not perfect just like every other organization in the country which is far worse. However, this country's armed are amongst the finest in the world who continue to perform for an ungrateful nation. The morale of the forces is perhaps at its south pole and the media is doing little to make it better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050542.post-8384489510265764442008-12-05T12:57:00.000+05:302008-12-05T12:57:00.000+05:30read media & me on sysavur.blogpsot.com.You...read media & me on sysavur.blogpsot.com.<BR/><BR/>You'll find it hilarious but ironically tragic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050542.post-68608721767322661142008-12-05T12:34:00.000+05:302008-12-05T12:34:00.000+05:30Pat sir,We just can't give up.

We are keepers of this Idea and we will prevail , come what may, whatever cost we may have to pay, we will pay.<BR/> <BR/>We are to be blamed for this mess as we abdicated oursleves from the responsibility by paying taxes and hands off policy from govt. We have to clean it. let me assure you, I will not run away this time. Career, money , fame is all meaning less. I want to do it because my father, grand father , siblings all did their duty quietly. only diffeence is i will not do it quietly.<BR/><BR/>chandrabhanBrahamvakyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05864729826013229860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050542.post-7128425515274070762008-12-05T12:11:00.000+05:302008-12-05T12:11:00.000+05:30Check this disgusting column by Vir Sanghvi-http:/...Check this disgusting column by Vir Sanghvi-<BR/>http://www.hindustantimes.com/StoryPage/StoryPage.aspx?id=9e30ef67-5834-4c1a-ac8d-9015b3fd416cAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050542.post-48378317333453015122008-12-05T10:46:00.000+05:302008-12-05T10:46:00.000+05:30Hats off to you Chandrabhan. I totally agree with ...Hats off to you Chandrabhan. I totally agree with you that, this hue and cry is only since rich amonst the poors of the nation were forced to come to terms with the naked face of our polity. No one including our politicians ever cared for people getting killed in terrorist bombing all over India. Even our media has remained happy reporting soldiers dying by each day in J & K as a clipping of news in a few sentences. Having spent 30 yrs in Army I indeed felt very sad to read Shri Mukesh Ambani's suggestion of conscription for the youth of the country. The timing of suggestion makes me very sad and tells us their commmitment for the country.<BR/>The main problem with us is lack of discipline in small little things that we do in our daily life. For people of India including media, politician etc discipline is a word reserved for armed forces only. Let me tell you any amount of efficient policing and security cover can not improve the situtation.<BR/>Look at what has happened in AP assembly yestarday. MIM chief fights for the terrorist who injured the policeman on duty and says it was wrong to term him terrorist. I am sure none of us have forgotten what happened in the aftermath of Batla house encounter and the position taken by our politicians.<BR/>I many times wonder as to whether it has been worth it to have given my youth and energy for an ungreatful lot?<BR/>Look at what is being done to our Naval Chief who tried to showw mirror to these newswallas! One must read their reactions. They dont have the moral courage to even admit their failings.<BR/>I see very little hope for the country. Creating additional agencies with hands tied on their back would not be able to bring about the desired change. <BR/>Thanks<BR/>PatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050542.post-43652721499677484762008-12-05T10:35:00.000+05:302008-12-05T10:35:00.000+05:30Shiv and fellow friends,I am just a stupid common ...Shiv and fellow friends,<BR/>I am just a stupid common man.
