India – Agnipath Defense Policy

India – Agnipath Defense Policy 

Padmini Arhant

Update June 30, 2022: 

Indian National Security Advisor Ajit Doval during the latest interview to ANI a week ago elaborated on the importance and relevance of the government introduced controversial defense recruitment policy titled Agnipath

In this interview, NSA chief defended Agnipath policy to contract the size of defense force personnel significantly from the traditional recruitment claiming the contemporary modern warfare as contactless and suggesting the need for such decision. 

While the military warfare scenario is projected as contactless by NSA chief Ajit Doval, such military operations are applicable only in full scale engagement as witnessed in the present Russia and Ukraine war.

Again even in this situation, the earlier phase of the military invasion from Russia on 24 February, 2022 and thereafter until arms supply from the United States and western Europe viz. Britain and France much later, the Ukrainian conventional and emergency voluntary defense force effectively resisted and retaliated against Russian movement on the ground. 

In the military position between China and India, China has incrementally advanced into Indian territories utilizing the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) command forces along LAC and further into Indian zone especially in the last three years remaining the status quo.

China’s strategy along LAC and Indian North East is predominantly premised on establishing footprints in the Indian landmass using PLA.

China’s encroachment is evidenced in Arunachal Pradesh, Ladakh, Sikkim, Assam and expected to extend along the Indian region as far as Himachal Pradesh. 

These conditions arguably necessitated massive troop deployment in the Himalayan region for Indian defense force having lost at least officially twenty and unofficially more martyred armed personnel in the recent China’s troop infringement along the Line of Action Control (LAC) evolved into aggressive confrontation on 5 May, 2020. 

As a result of the ongoing China’s incursion in the Himalayan and along the entire north east regions, the requirement to increase armed personnel presence to physically deal with neighbor China’s exponential expansionist territorial quest is a persisting dilemma for India in the Indian sub-continent. 

Under these circumstances, the government’s Agnipath policy aimed at reduction rather than maintaining the original strength if not enlargement  for ground preparedness creates considerable challenge. 

The Agnipath policy as contingent army reserve alongside traditional Indian defense force recruitment and managements serve the immediate and near term unpredictable crisis. 

The reinstatement of previous Indian defense force recruitment and service procedure adequately merit attention and implementation from the relevant department such as NSA and critically the Indian Defense Force barring political intervention.

lndian Civil Society Views on Agnipath.

Source – Satya Hindi. Thank you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Agnipath policy retire the 75% unsuccessful recruits at the age of 21 years considering the enrollment age is 17.5 years with four years in the defense force.

The overall experience for the discharged armed personnel in this program is approximately 2 to 2.5 years based on the relevant training and operational opportunity. 

In comparison, the traditional Indian defense force recruitment at 21 years as the median age with younger or older recruits representing the defense requirement developed and promoted skills exceeding the military combat capability while facilitating exceptional caliber. 

There are many fine examples from Indian Defense Force who successfully fought the war in 1971 against Pakistan and later the Kargil war in 1999. 

However, the Air Force veteran from the Indian Defense Force travel to space in India and Former Soviet Union Interkosmos mission in 1984 established a unique and admirable space voyage.  

The Air Force veteran is none other than Wing Commander Indian Air Force – Rakesh Sharma with the following profile. 

Astronaut — Wing Commander Rakesh Sharma, AC (born 13 January 1949) is a former Indian Air Force pilot who flew aboard Soyuz T- 11

Wing Commander Indian Air Force Rakesh Sharma

Service 1970 – 1990

 Date of Birth – 13 January, 1949

Years of service: 1970 – 1990  (20 years) 

Service number: 12396 F(P)

Wing Commander Rakesh Sharma, AC is a former Indian Air Force pilot who flew aboard Soyuz T-11 on 3 April 1984 as part of the Soviet Interkosmos programme. He is the only Indian citizen to travel in space.

Since the contemporary political culture especially the leadership at the helm as Prime Minister claim credit on any achievements as personal regardless of legitimacy, 

Accordingly, this phenomenal feat was a proud moment for India under the female leadership of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi who like her predecessors, her father the first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in particular only remembered and reminded of all things negative and counterproductive  under his tenure by the current political party in power. 

Prime Minister Indira Gandhi is constantly used for one and only one reason – overt emergency rule in 1975 unlike the present covert emergency in India which is obviously a major hypocrisy.

Nonetheless, the former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s confidence in the Indian Defense Force that delivered her victory in 1971 and subsequently kept both China and Pakistan at bay during her term in office exemplify then Indian Defense Force autonomy.

Unfortunately, the same status is  not necessarily prevalent in the present time in the Indian Defense Force with the central political authority in New Delhi extending concentration of power on all institutions in India that were earlier relatively autonomous if not independent in respective decision-making process. 

As a result, then young vibrant ambitious Wing Commander Rakesh Sharma with adequate training in the span 14 years since inception in the Air Force in 1970 qualified aboard InterKosmos Soyuz T-11.

Personally, I recall as an Indian citizen at that time in New Delhi in 1984, the nation shared the joy and pride when then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi interacted with the astronaut via satellite and asked the Wing Commander and Astronaut Rakesh Sharma for his reaction on

How earth appeared from the space above? 

The patriotic armed force pilot and Astronaut Rakesh Sharma enthusiastically responded by quoting Indian national song composed by Urdu Poet Muhammad Iqbal in Urdu language. 

Sare Jahan se Accha Hindustan Hamara !

Translation – Of all the places on earth, India is great.

“Sare Jahan se Accha” (Urdu: سارے جہاں سے اچھا; Sāre Jahāṉ se Acchā), formally known as “Tarānah-e-Hindi” (Urdu: ترانۂ ہندی, “Anthem of the People of Hindustan”),”

The glory and astonishing accomplishment from this mission deservingly earned by the Indian Defense Force and former Soviet InterKosmos team besides the astronaut Rakesh Sharma along with the crew back in 1984.

Notwithstanding the late lady Prime Minister Indira Gandhi only being targeted for political hostility in the domestic and external factions nuanced venom regurgitation, the trend with no end in sight. 

The late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and the Indian Defense Force merit recognition for motivation and provision in deriving the best amongst the defense force personnel at that time. The cause for celebration was equitable on the outstanding  occasion. 

Contrarily, the highly educated and skilled unemployed youth today are instead demoralized with the incumbent leadership suggestion on the alternative employment to fry pakoras  – spicy Indian snack sold on the curb side by street hawkers in Indian street corners and bazaar. 

In conclusion, Agnipath diminish prospects to exhibit and explore talent due to the short term service and limited exposure for aspiring youth with such potential. 

All the more reason to reverse course and retain the traditional recruitment and service protocol to a minimum of 15 or more years in the Indian Defense Force.

India – Karma and the Prisoner of Guilt

June 28, 2022

India – Karma 

and

The Prisoner of Guilt 

Padmini Arhant

The guilty having committed horrendous crimes and remains unrelenting as old habits die hard, the sinner is the prisoner of guilt with the inner conscience witness to entire deeds in the lifetime,

As a result, no matter how many favorable rulings are obtained in quid pro quo from the Supreme Court, High Court, self-appointed committee and various propaganda means, the guilty is guilty of crimes in the murder of innocent children, women, disabled, youth and senior citizens in the politically instigated pogrom.

When then Chief Minister of the state widely known and categorically proved via documented substantiated evidence to have fomented and facilitated gory violence against own citizens of the state Gujarat in 2002,

Then upon assuming office as the Prime Minister of the nation, the government’s unilateral enactment of the controversial CAA and NRC act engage to strip citizenship status of muslim minority and Hindu majority subjugated in caste denominations and brazen communal politics.

In the course of unconstitutional undemocratic process, the Prime Minister rallies the captive audience to violently target fellow citizens by specific clothing and appearance viz. the muslims in society.

The action speaks volume of the past and present besides being the harbinger of similar episodes in the future.

Likewise, the equal if not senior partner in crime then state Home Minister of Gujarat elevated to the National Home Minister position in New Delhi can hardly contain the impulse in promoting communal hatred and violence.

In 2002, the State Home Minister authorized and instructed the killings of non-violent innocent civilians like children, women, disabled, youth and the elderly predominantly muslims and many Hindus as well as other segments in the worst state sponsored and directly involved communal riots in Godhra, Gujarat.

The murder of key witnesses not barring the Mumbai High Court judge delivering the verdict convicting the state authorities was also murdered to lay the matter to rest.

Despite the killings, elimination and incarceration of individual’s punished for presenting facts and truth telling on Godhra violence detailed in the article below,  the National Home Minister’s public speech during political campaign rally in West Bengal post CAA and NRC act in 2019 referred to muslims from Bangladesh as termites.

The two most powerful entities evading accountability on their previous involvement in inciting violence could barely resist defaulting to status quo in open public delivery in 2019 and until now as cited above.

The duo duplicity could only be summed up as

Nau sau choohey nochkar do billé chalé khumbh melé Ganga snaan karné !

नौ सौ चूहे नोचकर दो बिल्ले चले कुम्भ मेले गंगा स्नान करने !

Translation – After munching 900 mice, the tom cats were off to Hindu Khumbh Mela (religious festival) for a dip in the Holy Ganges!

Indeed Atma Chinthan (introspection and Soul searching) is the need of the hour and ever for both of them and their contingency.

India – Controversial Defense Recruitment Policy

India – Controversial Defense Recruitment Policy

Padmini Arhant

The hard fact Agnipath policy introduced by Indian PM Narendra Modi with emphasis on youthfulness, clean record and meritocracy were to be applied to political career in entirety especially ethics and merit – none qualify considering the tarnished record and criminal legacy beginning with India’s Prime Minister, Home Minister, the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh and the rest of the cadre in the central and state government. The unfortunate trend is the irony in the laws and policy introduced against civil society and now targeting the national defense force.

Importantly, term limit like four years in Agnipath policy, the Prime Minister terms should be no more than 2 without exception. Above all Indian democracy would be real and effective with the citizens’ right to recall head of the nation viz. Prime Minister, Home Minister, Finance Minister, Defense Minister, External Affairs among many others at the center, state and all the way to the municipal level on dismal performance and abysmal economic, political and social environment. No delivery on economy in controlling inflation, creating employment, job growth, access to public utilities like electricity, clean water and basic needs… no right to power for those in politics

Indian democracy has long been subverted with political representation committed and dedicated to individual, private and fiduciary interests alone.

The young defense force aspirant – one of many whose dreams have been shattered with the controversial Agnipath meaning fire path literally setting the economically devastated youth population aspirations ablaze in Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana, Chattisgarh, Assam states in the north and northeastern region. These defense force applicants deserve attention and recruitment in the Indian military as they would be invaluable assets.

Regardless of New Delhi government propaganda highlighting the benefits of provocative policy – Agnipath has one too many flaws and far reaching ill consequences that are best averted with the withdrawal of the government unilateral policy. 

First and foremost – the Agnipath (Fire Path) is aimed at 17 1/2 – 21 years of age – the life time when critical education is pursued for high school certificate and under graduate course with a degree enabling the career onset in work force. 

The Agnipath enrollees would have to either differ their education if any of them were interested and considered the high school diploma and undergraduate degree important which majority would desire and do if the same were to be affordable. 

Alternatively, the Agnipath policy apparently has the option for the potential recruits to study at their expense after duty and training hours which obviously may not be suitable or possible for all of them. 

The above two scenarios on scholastic achievements are challenging for the young recruits given the tough competition as only 25% among the 100% initial recruits are expected to be selected and that 25% is also supposedly on need basis. They are placed in a dilemma to study for high school exam and later the undergraduate course while competing for selection among 25%. 

Many defense force applicants in India are predominantly from the rural areas of the country as farmers’ sons and daughters or those from very poor economic background unable to complete high school and further college education. 

Again the difficulty seeking high school and college education for this demography is directly linked to economic costs more than aptitude. However, the Agnipath policy presume the latter as the issue and trying to entice the rural youth mass as such citing monthly payments as salary and discharge package after four years upon not being selected to serve long term in the defense force. 

Accordingly, the youth from these segments join the defense force similar to the United States where many unable to afford college education enlist in the military and earn their educational qualifications paid for by the United States defense force besides appointment in the respective armed services such as Army, Navy and Air Force. 

Second, the Indian government’s hostile decision to deprive servicemen and women in military uniform the essential benefits like pension and medical care is attributed to defense budget reallocation to capital expenditure on modernization.
In this context, the approach on military personnel displacement with modern hardware and equipment is gross miscalculation. The new wave military operation cannot entirely function on auto pilot, although the latter also require maintenance and trouble shooting technical glitches by human man power.

Despite the hype and discussion on machine replacing human involvement, the machinery functionality and fine tuning are dependent on human monitoring and skills in relevant technology. The software and hardware at the end of the day are developed and manufactured by human mind and physical labor through computer programming, physics and engineering science.

The concept trimming military recruitment for renovation is a major misstep with inevitable adverse ramifications synonymous to demonetization debacle that led to many ordinary citizens’ deaths in 2016 and robbed livelihoods of the mainstream population paying the price until today.

The military modernization is necessary upgrading to contemporary innovative technology. However, the funding could be easily afforded by slashing wasteful spending on politicians’ undeserving privileges and lifetime emoluments. Notwithstanding the lavish expenditure on elaborate Prime Minister residence viz. Central Vista and new Parliament House…at ordinary taxpayers, foot soldiers, farmers, informal and formal sectors lower and middle income workers’ expense.

The Indian Central government in New Delhi promise on job reservation to 75% unsuccessful recruits in Agnipath policy is not taken seriously by youthful aspirants and believed to be a hoax for good reasons.

There are too many incidents beginning with Rs.15 lakhs i.e. 1.5 million rupees in every Indian citizen’s account was guaranteed during demonetization by the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2016. Six years later in 2022, there is no sign of any amount let alone Rs. 15 lakhs i.e. 1.5 million rupees in any ordinary citizens’ account till date.

In 2019 national election, the former serviceman Tej Bahadur Yadav from Haryana having served in the army in Siachin border in the Himalayan region for over 25 years was denied civil service. The former military personnel Tej Bahadur Yadav ran for public  office against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Varanasi in 2019. The ex-serviceman Tej Bahadur Yadav was mercilessly disqualified from competing in the national election. Without any proof or explanation Tej Bahadur Yadav was deprived from the election in 2019.

The reality is the constituency Varanasi was prepared to vote for Tej Bahadur Yadav against Narendra Modi in 2019 and PM Narendra Modi’s defeat was certain in the public poll. Then immediately the former army personnel Tej Bahadur Yadav was informed of discrepancy in election papers filing which was previously confirmed by election officials as proper and valid.

The direct involvement by PM Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath made sure the ex-serviceman Tej Bahadur Yadav is prevented from participating in the general election in 2019 proving the lack of respect and opportunity for military personnel in public civil  service among the high ranked public office.

Indian Democracy is Mobocracy and Kleptocracy

June 22, 2022

Indian Democracy is Mobocracy and Kleptocracy 

Padmini Arhant

Indian democracy is mobocracy and kleptocracy with political opposition systematically eliminated by New Delhi regime.

The head of the regime’s background speaks volume and serve as evidence that violence begets violence.

In the absence of positive performance, the regime survival heavily rely on media cohorts’ and own political party propaganda. The external foreign role promoting despotism and dictatorial exertion via pseudo glorification to upend democracy cannot be ruled out in particular slighting the regime’s glaring violations on human rights, corruption and criminal legacy.

The regime’s political strategy is bribes with illegal money and lofty positions in cabinet, bureaucracy and legislative assembly especially the upper house – Rajya Sabha membership offered to media house like Zee Soap Opera and WION youtube channel proprietor Subash Chandra Goenks. As s result fake news and indoctrination continues unabated in appeasement politics quid pro quo. The opposition members are lured with such offers as well to jump ship making mockery of democracy.

The bribery through Rajya Sabha upper house entry is also reserved for the Indian Supreme Court Chief Justice as witnessed in the former CJS Ranjan Gogoi rewarded for key decisions favoring the New Delhi regime on major scandals like Rafale defense contract corruption and on communal issues siding with RSS and BJP’s militant Hindutvs ideology in the controversial Ayodhya and Babri Masjjd matter.

Having dismantled the constitutional framework and autonomy of most Indian institutions including the latest assault on Indian Defense Force institutional character, tradition and discipline, the regime’s ravenous appetite for power exemplified in unilateral decisions like demonetization debacle, haphazard GST rule etc., drowning the economy in cyclical crises with fudged and forged data on GDP, unemployment figures and overall ailing economy are merely the tip of the iceberg.

The farmers’ protests were ignored adopting violent means to curtail peaceful rallies for over two to three years until recently the inevitable outcome forced the withdrawal of the regime’s anti-agrarian and pro-oligarchy policy.

The regime’s latest stunt on the defense recruitment restructuring sparking anger, frustrations and violent eruption (taken from the RSS and BJP play book) among economically crippled rural and urban youth is perceived as authoritarian backlash on the defeat in the farmers’s bill forfeiture. The connectivity is the defense force aspirants are predominantly and vastly from rural areas as farmers’ sons and daughters and the remaining percentage belong to the poor economic background.

The RSS run BJP governance with the Prime Minister, Home Minister and regional chief minister in Uttar Pradesh hand picked by the Prime Minister along with several members in Parliament including the individual  convicted of terrorism involving bomb blasts against the demography designated as outcasts such as the so-called backward class (BC), other backward class (OBC), Dalits, scheduled caste and scheduled tribe among diverse caste segregation and denominations,

The commonality beginning at the top i.e. the Prime Minister, Home Minister at the center along with  Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Karnataka and many BJP governments preach and practice hatred, prejudice and violence.

The situation is buttressed with the state represented print, television and social media ever at regime’s disposal to spin and sensationalize communal politics and cover up government’s scandalous repertoire.

Kashmir Valley is the Xinjiang of India with the conditions exacerbated for rehabilitation of Hindu and other minorities in the territory.

The inflammable toxic political and social  environment combined with debilitating economic status nationwide is cheered and celebrated as the Prime Minister’s charisma again not without endorsement from conspicuous quarters overseas exclusively for vested interests fueling anti-democratic and anti-unity agenda in South Asia.

Last but not the least, the regime’s routine topple of opposition state governments via horse trading using print black money is yet another factor for unsustainable rising inflation.

The overture accompanied by intimidations using false charges, income tax raids and other nefarious tactics misusing public funded police force against abducted political opposition members for personal and regime goals is the last straw in abuse of power.

The boiling point exceeded into overflow in corruption, criminality and absolute destruction of everything such as institutions, judiciary, economic sector, political opposition, religions and social fabric…is the epitome of democracy in peril.

Meritocracy in Politics

June 18, 2022

Meritocracy in Politics

Padmini Arhant

The contemporary dilemma in politics is acute deficit in caliber, credibility and capability with many marred in corruption and criminal legacy lead the country as the head of the state viz. President, Vice-President, Prime Minister and other key cabinet positions in the executive branch. The political opposition designated as such is again self-explanatory considering the excess baggage and quid pro quo with the ruling power. The deal is a secure insurance policy and amnesty for the polity.

Politics is run as exclusive membership in a private club with selection and rejection decided among internal and external groups exerting dominance in domestic and global affairs. The incognito power represented by conglomerate as secret society convened secret meetings in secret locations summoned Presidential, Chancellor, Prime Minister candidacies for approval in the so-called democracies seek loyalty and allegiance to forces behind subjugation of global population.

The global enterprise as the Western European World Economic Forum (WEF) initiating and promoting destructive economic policies or for that matter the western controlled International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank (WB) and European Central Bank (ECB) etc. created and designed permanent debt traps forcing developing nations to resign to debt servicing with their population as collateral are predominantly aimed at enrichment and empowerment of 1% at the remaining 99% generational enslavement.

Not to mention the western exalted latest economic power China’s belt and road initiative (BRI) approached on massive infrastructure development conversely resulting in developing nations’ banana republic status is yet another economic detrimental dynamic.

So much for western aversion to communist system. The communist China with enormous military expansionism is the immediate challenge to any nation’s sovereignty and independence.

These activities are merely the glimpse of smoke screen power play reining control over nearly 8 billion human destiny.

The international consortium authorizing ascendency to power in politics customarily favor tainted and tarnished profiles as they are convenient to bend and mold directly submitting to foreign demands, threats and diktat.

The trend is then continued by the appointees as Prime Minister, President, Vice-President in choosing cabinet members for various portfolios thereby surrounding themselves with crony, corrupt and criminal background to serve each others’ interests.

The politics – you scratch my back and vice versa is widely practiced and prevalent in the name of democracy. The authoritarian settings pale in comparison to pseudo democracy exercising carte blanche authority on citizens life and economic survival with little or no respect and concerns for ordinary lives exploited to the core for feudalistic and fiduciary benefit.

The nation and citizenry under such leadership and governance is transformed into vassal statehood. The client state essentially satisfy oligarchy ambitions besides facilitating foreign economic and strategic goals.

Meanwhile the abuse of power in the domestic front by foreign appointees are granted political impunity with transparency and accountability oxymoron to politics.

The personal image enhancement and false glorification contradictory to ground reality are navigational tools to remain in power. However, the factual details clarify such leadership and government a puppet regime servile to domestic and foreign extortions.

Not to mention the servility and subservience in appeasement politics reflected in abstinence with lack of courage to vote explicit yes or no in the United Nations referendums and resolutions speak volume on status quo.

Amidst the embarrassing least qualified and ethically bankrupt representation at the helm executing policies with meritocracy as criteria to serve in the army or civil service is the tragic irony.

Meritocracy is valid and legitimate upon the requirement beginning at the top with proven established exemplary track record trickling to the bottom implemented as the cardinal rule for effective positive change in society.

The highest in the hierarchy exempted in this regard exemplify hypocrisy and monumental disaster analogous to the clueless captain of the ship sailing the rough seas adept at exacerbating crisis rather than containment.

United States – Soaring Inflation

June 10, 2022

United States – Soaring Inflation

Padmini Arhant

The soaring inflation beginning with gas price at $7.00 and higher having domino effects on food and other essential goods and services is a burgeoning issue for people living with pay check to paycheck and those with meager savings in the economy.

There appears to be no immediate relief in easing skyrocketing inflation hurting consumer base again directly affecting business sectors in the economy.

The federal reserve inflationary control measures and government economic policy if at all any are yet to deliver necessary correction in inflation reminiscent of 70’s energy crisis leading to severe economic downturn.

The war in Ukraine brought upon Ukrainians from the western viz. United States and EU insurrection against then democratically elected government in 2014 is the result of deaths and devastation in the battle ground combined with nuclear threat from Russia.

The energy crises resulting from the ongoing war in Ukraine and further hindrances in food supply viz. wheat, soy, sugar etc. from Ukraine and Russia to other parts of the world have dramatic impact on the domestic and global economy.

Meanwhile, the global demand on crude oil now largely resting on the oil producing nations in the Middle East and others like Venezuela with sanctions on Russian energy imports only applicable to non-western nations is nothing new.

The Russian energy flow into western Europe such as Germany, Austria and Finland to name a few besides EU and NATO ally Hungary having categorically rejected the sanctions protocol claiming similar  scenario on meeting domestic requirements as priority are not only double standards but also reflect paradoxical western position in funding the Ukrainian invasion.

Amid these contradictory rules and activities, the energy price at the gas stations are record high in history taking toll on average and middle class already enduring economic pain from COVID and at present forced to contend with excruciating inflation in the absence of positive economic trend.

The market reaction and performance lately with Dow Jones dropping 700 points along with S&P 500 and NASDAQ precipitous slide are clearly indicative of inflation and lack of prudent economic solutions behind the present serious nonetheless preventable decline.

There is an urgent requirement for pragmatic and economically viable interjections to contain rising inflation in conjunction with diversifying energy resources improving and increasing energy distribution for affordability across the economy.

Unfortunately, there are no information or strategies made publicly known from the relevant monetary and fiscal authorities to ease growing concerns and frustration among consumers dealing with extraordinary economic struggles since COVID related shutdown and ongoing inflation debacle.

Obviously, the critical topics are inflation and energy price that are interlinked with a strangle hold on people especially in the middle and lower income groups deprived of any options in the economic strife leaving the poor and the poorest status abysmal.

What is the government plan of action on surging inflation?

What are the remedies pursued by the federal reserve other than interest rates hike with stagflation projected in the global economy?

What are the immediate possibilities to calm the inflation storm, energy costs, boost employment  opportunities, stabilize economic conditions across the spectrum and last but not the least soothe investor apprehensions in the volatile economic climate?

The Ukraine war must end with Russia’s divestment in economy over expansionism via military aggression exceeding 100 days in Ukraine. The only guaranteed outcome benefitting both sides i.e. Russia and Ukraine is permanent ceasefire and peaceful dispute settlement on all matter. The military engagement is proved counterproductive and exacerbated resources, morale and human lives with irreversible tragedy.

The western foreign policy engineered towards diplomacy and dialogue in ending Ukraine war is pertinent to global peace, security and economic recovery.

The economic factors such as inflation and energy rates at the gas pump are the burning issues for ordinary men and women representing the work force, consumers and tax payers in the economy worldwide.

Suffice to say those behind gain of function research triggering the global pandemic and big pharma have enormously profiteered from COVID disaster.

The defense sector viz. the military industrial complex and western governments on their part supplying weapons to Ukraine while procuring energy from Russia have secured multi-billions in arms trade to Ukraine having destabilized the once relatively peaceful country in 2014.

Let there be no more time wasted in cliché on Hollywood fame defamation trial and Jan 6, 2021 fiasco. The late night show hosts paid millions of dollars as propagandists with pre-recorded captive audience fake applause and social media attempts to deflect public attention with platitudes and parody are imposed as entertainment.

Meanwhile, there are no investigations or discussion on western violent intrusion overthrowing democratic power in Ukraine in 2014 and recently ejecting Pakistan’s government under former Prime Minister Imran Khan causing political chaos and further economic derailment in that part of the world.

The stark reality – the people survival is challenging more than ever deserving long overdue focus and respite from the deteriorating situation.

Hate – Source and Catalysts Promoting Hatred

Hate – Source and Catalysts Promoting Hatred

Padmini Arhant

Idle mind is devil’s workshop. 

Power comes with responsibility. Any abuse of power by those using and exploiting authority invites reactions as such.

 

Respect is a two-way street. Never one way with a dead end. Anyone crossing the line whether once, twice or as a routine invariably experience the expected consequence.

The contemporary culture sowing, promoting and propagating hate, misogyny, animosity and diverse phobia are self- destructive course inevitably consuming the source and catalysts without a shadow of doubt.

Where does hate, misogyny and hostility emanate from?

Any and all of these characteristics stem from within largely due to ignorance and unwillingness to heed inner conscience against negative thoughts and actions.

Those who cultivate hate in the hope of harvesting from carcinogenic politics irrefutably succumb to the poison ivy they plant in and around them.

Hate and prejudice are outlets for those suffering from the dreadful terminal disease to vent own frustrations on their failures and overwhelming insecurity.

Importantly, hate represents void among those severely lacking in empathy, genuine care and compassion, tolerance and acceptance barring any and all form of discrimination.

The haters sadly reveal their state of mind saturated with apathy, bigotry, revenge and indignation. They waste their life obeying the demons inside them prompting narcissism and degenerative indulgence.

In the absence of self-esteem and integrity to introspect for necessary reform in their thought process and behavioral pattern, they prey on anyone and anything they regard a fair game.

Considering the correlation between hate and hell not only in semantics but also in application of end justifying the means, the hate mongers and haters unwisely transform their life into living hell and upon imminent demise.

Hate is a deadly parasite that ultimately affects the physical, mental and emotional well being of the host inviting internal and external conflicts in the otherwise troubled lives of those embarked on suicide mission.

Hate is the biggest tragedy for those harboring ill-feelings and malice against their targets despite the consequences of ignoring hatred delivering personal hurt and injury via shame, incrimination and purposeless life.

The politics seeding hate, hatred, discriminatory, derogatory and inflammatory policy typically yield results accordingly. Scapegoat anyone for own deliberate vindictive abusive conduct is asinine.

Besides, such theatrics is self-declaration in core criminality reeking contempt and cowardly sinister political ideology. Notwithstanding the routine conforming to radical fundamentalist dysfunctional performance on display.

The publicity starved personalities igniting sparks in public domain with reckless sensationalized sentiments via their political appointees and representatives on religion or prophets of any faith and other sensitive social issues, the desperation is conspicuously ominous for them and their hired stooges deployed for such provocation.

The true colors of the provocateurs and relevantly the mindset of the political leadership at the helm they represent surface at these times much to self-deprecation. These elements making themselves available for cheap exploitation by politics and political leaderships or any other influential entity is self-explanatory.

Then there are those claiming patent rights on intelligence with the cliché on artificial intelligence connotation are reminded to demonstrate their so-called organic intelligence evidently having miserably failed them in possession of any values except spreading hate and spewing venom as exclusive right and entitlement in semblance with their false persona.

What good is such prized intelligence they fraudulently take pride in when it is not reflected in human character – civility and dignity?

The downfall and disgrace following hate, misogyny and acrimony are the writings on the wall.
