India-Iran Drama Continues If Iran really was behind the February 13 attack on an Israeli diplomat in New Delhi, Indian officials need be asking one key question: why? After all, despite the fact that India has voted against Iran twice at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), New Delhi has seemingly continued to have friendly relations with Tehran. And why would Iran choreograph an attack like this at a time when India is seriously engaged in trying to negotiate a complicated arrangement with Tehran to pay for oil it has bought? (India owes billions of dollars in lieu of oil it has already received over the years). One suggestion has been that Iran didn’t take the West-led censure...

India to Nix Terror Center Plan The United Progressive Alliance government seems left with no option but to give a quiet burial to its proposed newest anti-terror body – the National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC) – inspired by a U.S. outfit of the same name. Allies and the opposition alike have cornered and embarrassed the government on the NCTC issue, meaning the only honorable way out for the government is to tell the Home Affairs Ministry not to issue the notification for setting up the NCTC until a political consensus is thrashed out. The government had earlier announced that the NCTC would be operational from March 1, 2012. But this appears to be a pipedream, as at least eight non-U...

Rajeev ji, States of Indian Union feel that there is a great danger of demolition of federal structure by introducing NCTC. This issue has opened up link-lines for eight CMs who have joined hands to echo their concern to annul this Centre's...

Rahul Gandhi Sounds Off It doesn’t happen very often that Rahul Gandhi, the heir apparent of the Congress party, holds a brainstorming session with top editors , formally or informally. Indeed, he did so for the first time on Saturday when he had a breakfast meeting with select editors. During the interaction , he made a point to explain why he was so proactively engaged in Uttar Pradesh, India’s largest and politically most crucial state where the Congress has been out of power since December 1989. “If I don’t take the risk, who else will?” he asked, a remark pregnant with regional and national meaning. The main rule for this unprecedented interaction was that it wasn’t supposed to be rep...

As long as he continues to find people who take notice of him without any reason, he still stands a lot lot of chance to remain in politics regardless of performance at Governance.

Hezbollah Behind Israel Blasts? The February 13 terror attack on an Israeli embassy car in New Delhi has set off alarm bells for the Indian security establishment. Its circumstantial pattern suggests that the Iran-Israel conflict has had a significant spillover to India for the first time. After all, the New Delhi attack coincided with a much bolder attack in Georgia the same day, and a grenade attack in Thailand on Tuesday. The Indian government, however, isn’t in the mood for any knee-jerk reaction, and has yet to point the finger of blame. The most probable perpetrator, and one Israeli officials have suggested, is the Iranian-backed militant outfit Hezbollah, though India can’t rule ou...

The End of Anna Hazare? The chickens are coming home to roost for Anna Hazare, who has abruptly called off his latest protest fast . The 74-year-old social activist, who emerged as the face of an anti-corruption movement after his first, breathtakingly successful, fast at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi in April , also announced the indefinite postponement of his mass “courting of arrest” scheme and planned sit-ins in front of the residences of Congress bigwigs like Sonia Gandhi. The most immediate factor was likely the 102 degree temperature he was reportedly running as the result of a chest infection. But the reality is that the crowds had anyway disappeared from his fast venue in Mumbai, as ...

Saudi Arabia Makes War On Bangladesh January 24, 2012: Much to the distress of Indian leaders, on January 19th the Bangladesh army announced it had thwarted a coup attempt against the government, conceived and nearly executed by some mid-ranking officers. Five army officers, including a lieutenant colonel and two Majors have already been arrested, while a top army officer is under investigation. The attempted coup was instigated by Islamic radical military personnel, including some Bangladeshis living abroad and retired and serving officers. Ever since the India-friendly government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina came into office in December 2008, her arch-rival Begum Khaleda Zia and elemen...

Why China And India Don't Get Along January 4, 2011: India-China ties are set to enter treacherous waters in the coming months. This is clear from current Chinese attitudes, wherein China favors Pakistan at the expense of India. For example, China is selling a one Giga watt nuclear reactor to Pakistan and is determined to ink a civilian nuclear energy cooperation agreement with the country which has for years indulged in nuclear proliferation. China has been demanding visa applications from Indians living in Jammu and Kashmir (wishing to travel to China) but not for Pakistanis in Pakistani Kashmir. This makes it clear on whose side China is. Against the backdrop of many serious differences,...

I think China needs to know that India is not a coward. The recent passport issue over the officers in Arunachal Pradesh shows India's inability to counter Chinese pressure.

ISI Network in Bangladesh By Rajeev Sharma Soon after murder of the architect of Bangladesh Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in 1975, Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI jumped into the fray to expand its network across Bangladesh. During more than two decades since his murder, when pro-Pak and Islamist forces ruled the country (1975 to 1996), Pakistan High Commission in Dhaka became the nerve center of ISI activities. ISI also utilized this long period to divert its anti-India operations through Bangladesh in order to ward off international outcry over its involvement in Kashmir for encouraging secessionist forces to destabilize India. Since then, with cooperation and help of the ruling p...

Food Bill Stumbling? Indian Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar has lashed out at Congress President Sonia Gandhi’s dream project, namely the National Food Security Bill , which the government introduced in the Lok Sabha on December 22. Pawar went on record as saying that there are insufficient funds to implement the Food Security Bill in its present form. However, he said “This is not a question of [an] individual. This is a question of investment in agriculture.” The bill, if it became law and was fully implemented, would cost the national exchequer Rs 1.1 lakh crore ($22 billion) annually in agriculture liabilities alone, but would provide subsidized food grain to more than 60 percent o...

UPA Relief on 2G Case The United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government got some major relief on February 4, just days before the first phase of polling for the Uttar Pradesh assembly polls, as Special Judge O. P. Saini dismissed Janata Party President Subramanian Swamy’s petition seeking to make Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram a co-accused in the 2G spectrum allocation scam. The court’s verdict has provided some succor to the government, which was acutely embarrassed this week by the Supreme Court’s cancellation of 122 2G spectrum licenses issued in 2008 by the then-Telecom Minister A. Raja. The latest verdict is a distinct boost for a government that has been mired in corruption scandal...
