U.S. and Allies War and Peace Quagmire – Global Dominance Part II
April 20, 2012
By Padmini Arhant
Afghanistan – The key strategic location has been invaded by prominent powers with occupiers goals defeated despite military might and unparalleled technology against native fighters in the largely mountainous terrain.
Following 9/11 – the U.S. and NATO invasion of Afghanistan initially premised on war against Al Qaeda – the CIA brainchild to drive former Soviet army from Afghan soil along with then mujahedeen trained and armed by United States that are Taliban forces today seeking closure to foreign occupation after a decade old warfare seemingly fighting the loosing battle.
Another bone of contention is Intrusion in domestic affairs specifically puppet regime installation reporting to Washington and NATO through agreement for permanent base subsequent to the so-called troop withdrawal in 2014.
It is clear that the supposed war on terror for over ten years in Afghanistan having claimed many innocent lives and armed forces on all sides with controversial drone attacks until now in both Islamic nations – Afghanistan and Pakistan justifiably causing furor amongst local residents mostly tribal and rural population surviving at western air power mercy.
The prolonged war in Afghanistan waged against Taliban and fragmented militancy groups has exacerbated Afghans plight.
Notwithstanding U.S. army personnel morale reflected in the series of incidents ranging from Holy Quran burning, desecration of deceased Afghan fighters, U.S. army sergeant shooting spree killing unarmed women, children and men to the latest U.S. military personnel pictures posing with Afghan suicide bombers mutilated body parts…are disturbing signs indicative of troops war fatigue rebelling against protracted military presence having lost purpose and credibility in the misguided mission.
Afghanistan deprived of progress due to continuous foreign intervention is also burdened with systemic corruption,
Western funneled poppy production arming the insurgents and warlords,
Western backed government inefficiency in every aspect attributed to political instability, economic disparity other than civilization frozen in time on social issues such as women’s rights in particular.
A month ago, much to Afghan government’s frustration United States and NATO declared truce with Taliban reportedly head quartered in Qatar. The short-lived situation was no surprise with both sides defaulting to carnage and destruction.
Upon reviewing Afghan history since 1970’s, mujahedeen evolved into Taliban never engaged in threatening United States and allies national security unlike radicalized networks courtesy Saudi Arabia targeting vulnerable tribal and disenfranchised segments in Pakistan, Yemen and lately behind sectarian violence in Iraq with trail leading to Libya and Syria.
However, then CIA manufactured militancy alias Al Qaeda initially to fight against Soviets has been a convenient tool until date in pursuing global military action to benefit the military industrial complex and globalists agenda – access to natural resources by force under war on terror pretext and long term strategic gains in the designated regions asserting prowess against those perceived competitors in economic and military power.
Reiterating earlier statement – 9/11 direct links with Israel and Saudi Arabia shared interest for regime change to strike Iraq eliminating former President Saddam Hussein completely ignored launching military attacks in Afghanistan rendering the Central Asian hub and neighboring state Pakistan – fertile ground in testing and exhausting weaponry to boost defense and crude oil stocks,
Besides facilitating widespread violence and terror recruitments in both nations to perpetuate war policy that was never credible from the onset.
Similar actions perpetrated against citizens of Egypt, Yemen, Libya, Bahrain, Syria and Iran to destabilize volatile Middle East to secure indefinite troop deployment and naval fleet obstructing hope for democracy with western leaderships delegated as sales executives to promote arms purchase for defense industry.
Any environment riddled with constant shelling and decimation denying victims glimpse of optimism to emerge and rebuild lives provides immunity to chaos and criminality subjugating demography to internal and external influence.
Afghanistan devoid of foreign military interference and instead assistance towards economic development laying a strong foundation on education with schools across the country, health care facilities and modern infrastructure utilizing labor within society would not only occupy youth with positive productivity but also prevent terror recruitment.
As for training Afghan security personnel to prepare them in national defense – considering imperialism lack of success in Afghanistan evidently Afghan fighters are better equipped and qualified to organize national army.
With corrupt free competent administration succeeding incumbency, disciplined military institution and defense academy could be a no brainer for any nation.
The new government priority in maintaining law and order is largely dependent upon commitment to public safety and unified approach with opposition to commission diligent law enforcement agency.
According to U.S. and NATO public statements on Afghanistan readiness post U.S. withdrawal – the past few years spent in imparting skills to protect civilians and safeguard national territory.
Yet the events in 2012 with U.S. armed forces and Afghan soldier offensive engagement resulting in civilian and army casualties contradictory to U.S. and NATO position on ground reality alongside drone assaults in Northwestern Pakistan extended over to Afghan border confirm otherwise.
In the absence of military accountability including disproportionate Pentagon budget exempt from external audit, the extravagant spending with no checks and balances on wars and military bases deserve thorough review and fund reallocation to vital domestic programs and job creation in the United States.
Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai announcement to step down in 2013 a year ahead of scheduled troop pull out would mean transitional government to govern until early or full term election.
The interim governance headed by leadership with popular votes in 2009 election would guarantee stable governance per people choice.
Complete overhaul of political system and judiciary in democratic setting to curb corruption is paramount to move the nation forward.
Taliban impact on national security could perhaps ease upon offering gainful employment to misled recruits while disarming various factions operating in and around the borders.
Tribal areas urged to lay down their arms with trusting and respected Patriarch conveying the message in different parts of the country would restore peace.
Further addressing grievances in Tribal, rural and urban settlements with result oriented actions would win hearts and minds of the people.
Terminating poppy cultivation and replacement with agriculture especially staple diet could generate self-sufficiency in addition to government land provisions for organic produces allowing farmers to contribute to national exports and GDP.
Mutually beneficial trade investments in Afghanistan by international community substituting foreign military confinement could bring desirable changes in the economy.
Afghanistan neighbors concern over prevalent deteriorating conditions could be alleviated with peaceful transformation from killing to saving lives in unanimous call to expedite end to aggression on all sides consisting arms embargo and restricting ammunition supply responsible for the status quo.
Regional partners surrounding Afghanistan could play an important role through cooperation rather than competition in the establishment of pervasive peace and stability.
Afghanistan could no longer be subjected to bloodshed, drug trafficking, arms trade and above all globalists appointed government exploiting national wealth for self-interest at the vast majority misery.
In conclusion, United States, NATO and coalition comprehensive troop removal, not barring paramilitary, espionage agents, private contractors as mercenaries from Afghan domain is pertinent for Afghanistan sovereignty creating an opportunity to desperately required advancement under republic rule.
U.S, and NATO procrastination would clarify real motives not necessarily in Afghanistan or their favor given the precipitous decline in U.S. troop conduct having reached the breaking point demanding exit from the war zone prior to potential untowardness directed at authority.
Choosing honorable departure prudent than delayed debacle.
Wishing people in Afghanistan a new beginning on the horizon with long lasting peace and prosperity.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Syria – UN Backed Military Monitors and Troop Deployment
April 14, 2012
By Padmini Arhant
Since Syrian fragile ceasefire in the last forty-eight hours, the UN plan to deploy 30 unarmed military observers and according to reports UN-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan’s spokesman Ahmad Fawzi press statement confirmed –
“UN backed mission would have about 200-250 observers and that nations were being asked to contribute soldiers.”
Furthermore UNSC chamber closed door briefing and UN emissary Kofi Annan assessment of Syrian situation in Syria’s UN ambassador Bashar Ja’afari’s absence poses credibility factor considering,
The exclusive sessions lacking in transparency – characteristic of global powers prerogative in display disregarding negative impact on concerned member nations portends peace disruption rather than establishment.
The globalists’ news agencies disclaimer citing unverifiable and unconfirmed reports as well as images alluding to post ceasefire violence eruption and military armored vehicle in cities and towns adds to the intentional confusion amid peace process.
Despite rational requests from other UNSC members to curtail demonstrations allowing peace to prevail,
The western allies Arab League coerced protest asserting to test Syrian authority tolerance with the report claiming three protesters were killed and several injured on Friday, April 13, 2012 – suggestive of external forces vehement opposition to their own so-called peace treaty.
Given the trajectory peace is antithetical to war mongering nations pledged to death and destruction promoting defense industry and crude oil stocks at innocent lives expense tragically underestimating the backlash in accordance with natural law –
What goes around comes around.
Syrian government persistence in maintaining ceasefire including troops and military weapons withdrawal is necessary to resume humanitarian relief alongside peace talks with citizens in Syria.
Perhaps the people in Syria could reject foreign fighters false representation and nations exploiting Syrian political uprising for strategic gains against Iran.
UN current undertaking to send military monitors albeit unarmed combined with troop deployment is not a peace mission instead indicative of foreign invasion under disingenuous pretext,
Not to mention the UN peacekeeping forces track record in civil wars in Africa – DPR (The Democratic Republic of Congo) in particular.
Apparently war is the preferred choice and all efforts are poised at provocation than revocation conforming to selective self-detrimental agenda.
UN involvement in Syria would be legitimate upon refraining from aimed attacks and rhetoric against one side while choosing to remain oblivious to other side that is funding, arming and fueling the conflict.
Syria, Iran or any other Islamic and non-Islamic nations could no longer be experimental battlegrounds to military industrial complex engaged in testing innovative artillery and exhausting ammunition inventory for replenishment.
The political leaderships promoting arms sales to boost domestic dire economy neglecting life saving over mass killings exacerbate their population and war victims plight in the much-touted globalization with intertwined economic activities having ripple effects when inflicting pain and suffering against one nation for others short term advantage.
Syria is a litmus test for United States and allies to exemplify sincere commitment to peace and political stability in the war fatigued Middle East with citizens desperately seeking end to foreign intervention via military aggression and economic sanctions – the two potent arsenals at UNSC disposal to subjugate nations regarded adversaries for vested interests.
Both options hurt the population than the intended target.
Meanwhile, Syrian authorities are urged not to provide any opportunity to local or foreign agents in derailing peace and political dialogue with civil society.
Syrian government responsibility extended beyond national security in protecting civilians from any harm would alleviate tensions and address skepticisms on leaderships’ role in prioritizing public safety amongst impartial minds at UNSC and international community at large.
UN peace mission devoid of military ambit alternatively independent international committee unaffiliated to globalists’ auspice would be the only sustainable action in terminating intrusions hostile to Syrian peace and political progress.
Needlessly repeating mistakes and fundamentally flawed strategies to attain individual goals is celebrating failures many times over notwithstanding emblematic erroneous decisions expediting inevitable disaster.
Syrian solidarity could contribute to prolonging truce and initiating peaceful negotiations between government and citizenry like exhibited in referendum for constitutional reform.
There is tremendous potential in Syrian society to amicably resolve the year old crisis and with government unequivocal submission to non-violence and peaceful means,
The outside elements stirring confrontation could be easily eliminated directing focus on delivering political changes to people satisfaction.
Finally, UN assignment limited to peaceful oversight i.e. non-militaristic in any shape or form and humanitarian aid would be honorable for the international organization under scrutiny to prove reliability in rising to the occasion.
With Syrian peace in thoughts and prayers,
Good Luck to Syrian people and the government in adhering to ceasefire and adopting holistic approach to democratic transition.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Syria – Ceasefire Sustenance and Peace Plan
April 13, 2012
By Padmini Arhant
The ceasefire in Syria from both sides is welcome since peaceful environment necessary for humanitarian relief to war victims besides starting political negotiations with authority.
Syrian government and opposition exercising restraints to prevent any foreign instigated provocation are vital to maintain fragile truce.
Meanwhile keeping rebel factions offshore considering they are mostly hired by nations to stir confrontation would prolong desirable conduciveness to initiate peace talks and implementation of recently held constitutional referendum.
President Bashar Al Assad willingness to invite Syrian civil society for constructive dialogue would be instrumental to gain credibility strengthening national interest.
The incumbent government preparedness to address all groups within society demonstrating inclusive secular policy is extremely important to restore political stability setting the stage for democratic process.
Although government vigilance to curtail violence essential for national security,
Any procrastination towards meaningful political resolutions would be an impetus for external powers to resume civil unrest that could be avoided in expediting systematic structural political reform to public satisfaction.
Syrian society discernment in choosing their representatives pledged to common democratic goals are paramount for political success.
Again solidarity among civilians transcending religion, sect, social and economic barriers would guarantee realization of anticipated political transformation reflecting republic rule.
Independent international monitoring along with overseas media barring national destabilization motives could evaluate ground reality.
United Nations Security Council unbiased participation would legitimize role as a reliable agent in the delicate political situation demanding pragmatic solutions and balanced views for general consensus among members in recognition of Syrian sovereignty.
After nearly fifteen months of bloodshed and turmoil,
President Bashar Al Assad government is at the crossroads to establish genuine peace and political progress in adherence to referendum mandate as the preliminary yet monumental step towards democracy with sincere commitment to honor broad spectrum changes without further delay and loss of innocent lives.
On that optimistic expectation, wishing people in Syria and the authority a peaceful reconciliation for smooth democratic transition.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Syria – Ceasefire and UN deadline
April 10, 2012
By Padmini Arhant
Syrian conflict between the government and western as well as Arab league nations backed rebels has claimed many innocent lives besides stalling UN and Arab league envoy Kofi Annan led peace plan.
The recent conference – Friends of Syria held in Istanbul among United States and allies i.e. the west, Saudi Arabia, Qatar including the host nation Turkey is preoccupied in legitimizing Syrian National Council synonymous to National Transition Council in Libya comprising fragmented rebels to represent Syrian population.
Whereas, Syrian mainstream has categorically declared western backed armed rebels as foreign fighters hired by nations determined to lead the political crisis into civil war for specific goal – regime change to advance their agenda against Iran.
Syria is used as pawn by the west and key Arab allies – Saudi Arabia, Qatar and NATO partner Turkey.
Turkey involvement is intriguing with the Islamic nation proudly proclaimed the only democratic society amongst Arab and Muslim countries in that territory.
Furthermore, the refugee exodus from Syria into Turkey across the border since rival forces clashes should pre-empt the Mediterranean neighbor to be a peace catalyst not the contrary.
Evidently, United States and western nations are least interested in peace and political stability in Syria or for that matter democracy in Middle East.
UN and Arab league envoy Kofi Annan peace proposal to Syrian authority for government troops withdrawal and ceasefire were accepted with draw down began in the relatively calm cities across the nation.
Meanwhile, the Turkey conference pledging arms supply and funds to rebels mostly consisting mercenaries like in Libya have been advised to reject ceasefire and emboldened to continue fighting on behalf of foreign nations anchored on toppling Syrian government for vested interests.
Syrian armed forces accordingly have been deployed on counter insurgency operation to defend the country from foreign invasion.
Reiterating earlier statements on Syria and Arab Spring in general – Citizens revolutions throughout Middle East were initially peaceful and remained committed to non-violent assembly until western infiltration with armed fighters posing as protesters steered the democratic premise into potential mutiny for government removal.
Western, Saudi Arabia and Qatar obsession with regime change in Syria is sanctimonious and counterproductive considering the players specifically –
Saudi Arabia and Qatar are iconic for oppression and persecution of their citizens in practicing medieval capital punishments such as beheading, live burials and stoning to death…in twenty first century.
Similarly, United States adherence to torture and indefinite detention without trial in Guantanamo Bay, renditions with CIA secret prison in Poland and Eastern Europe,
Executive order on unconstitutional NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) targeting United States citizens for military trial denying due process…are few of the many crimes against humanity condemned by human rights organizations at home and abroad.
Notwithstanding post 9/11 systemic abuse of power raising credibility factor for United States in the forefront for regime elimination in Middle East.
United States and west along with Arab league bear responsibility in exacerbating Syrian political unrest through relentless support to rebels triggering arms race on both sides alongside suppressing UN peace efforts from fruition.
Syrian political movement has been transformed into national security issue with western and Arab league intrusion hindering citizens’ option to pursue constitutional reform and other political changes agreed by the government in the referendum for democratic transition.
The rebels not being part of Syrian society need not be engaged in misleading Syrian political cause.
Considering the deteriorating situation from western and Arab league instigated rebel factions,
United States and allies objectives for radical modification in Syria will not succeed,
The persistence to destabilize the nation and the region will not be tolerated in silence with cataclysmic consequences to befall on over-ambitious globalists aiming for world dominance under false pretexts earlier in Libya and now in Syria.
Syrian people were on the path of meaningful negotiations with the government only to be derailed by the so-called Friends of Syria – a disoriented and fractured militia acting at external powers behest promoting death and destruction for strategic gains against Iran.
United States and allies share the burden to prove their commitment to peace prospects and any hope for democracy in Syria by refraining from violence via the rebels to facilitate concurrent ceasefire.
Subsequently Syrian civil society direct dialogue with President Bashar Al Assad is essential to expedite referendum mandate maintaining transparency for mass approval.
Upon immediate termination of killings and raids, Syrian government armed security personnel is to retreat from civilian environment enabling humanitarian relief to the wounded and displaced victims in the war torn nation.
The rebels are to be identified of their origin and any foreign nationals deported from the country to prevent terror network establishment in the interim or later.
Both party could no longer prolong Syrian dispute for undue advantage and three preliminary steps are instantaneously required to avoid drastic response against peace obstructionists and they are-
Complete and unconditional disarmament on all sides without exception is necessary to initiate peaceful political resolution.
Referendum outcome made effective in addition to adopting constructive political course for successful democratic process.
International independent committee barring western and Arab league influence to monitor government measures to public satisfaction.
Humanitarian agencies and International media entry into Syria especially investigative journalists non-affiliated to biased entities viz. certain corporate media, nations identified as hostile to Syrian peace…would be helpful to evaluate ground reality.
United States and allies are urged to exercise restraint and abandon self-detrimental interference in Syria.
In anticipation for an end to political turmoil in Syria,
Good Luck to people in Syria for peace and republic governed democracy.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Lord Jesus resurrection to life and revelation to the world on Almighty God’s divine power is celebrated on this joyous Easter Sunday.
Jesus Christ crucifixion on Holy Friday also remembered as Good Friday was a sacrifice to redeem mankind of all sins committed and elevates human spirit in performing duties for individual and universal benefit.
Those who followed the Messiah’s unparalleled demonstration of righteousness on Earth never failed in the service as healers and benefactors dedicated towards a cause in uplifting life around them.
Lord Jesus journey as a preacher and instrument of Almighty God to lead humanity in the path of liberation from ignorance and self-righteousness exemplified through apostles missions in Biblical and humanitarian context.
Contemporary world strayed from virtuous trail burdened with guilt and injustice could shift course through recognition, remorse and reform enabling self-motivated redemption in life.
As a result rescue victims from pain and suffering inflicted in the chain reaction originating from the source unrelenting to natural laws pre-empting calibration for world sustenance in harmony with nature.
Lord Jesus teachings premised on basic to profound principles defined the purpose behind human existence to evolve and be exalted with humility and dignity.
Life is a blessing to be cherished not violated and wasted in illusions missing the golden opportunity to rise to the occasion for utilitarianism and eventual atonement.
Persistence in self-purification despite faltering would re-ignite sparks to dispel darkness within illumining mind then radiating glow shedding light for pervasive external enlightenment.
Appreciating unique endowments guided by discriminatory power in every being rejecting egoistic for altruistic goals is the path to inner peace and,
Self-fulfillment epitomizing benevolence in the otherwise paradoxical paradigm with confusion and clarity is a testament to human enrichment in values and knowledge cognizance of prevalent requirements for collective progress as opposed to present selective prosperity diminishing humanity prospects across the spectrum.
Ordinary citizens engaged in simple to extraordinary tasks without seeking fame, fortune and power represent hope and an inspirational force for others accepting every challenge as a chance to utilize the innate quality of compassion and myriad positive attributes stimulating change in the mainstream struggle.
Rejoicing the event in honor of Lord Jesus return to life is symbolic.
However, emulating the venerable prophet in action would be a tribute to spiritual guidance provided with devotion and exceptional renunciation of life.
Happy Easter!
Peace to all!

India – Political Sea Change on the Horizon
April 6, 2012
By Padmini Arhant
Subsequent to dismal results for Congress in five State assembly elections in March 2012,
The most recent by-elections in southern and western states of India has proven disastrous for the ruling power United Progressive Alliance (UPA II), the Congress Party under Mrs. Sonia Gandhi leadership with other members –
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Home Minister P.Chidambaram, Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, Law Minister Salman Khurshid, and MP Veerappa Molly…holding key cabinet positions at the center.
Congress party being incumbent in the state and central government had a stronghold in the southern state – Andhra Pradesh sworn loyalty to Gandhi – Nehru family with guaranteed victory considering the political party representation from AP reportedly was 33 seats exceeding the electorally key state Uttar Pradesh (UP) in northern India.
However, the by-elections outcome reversed the status quo with regional report confirming that Congress party targeted all seven Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh and lost all of them by significant margins ranging from 30,000 – 45,000 votes and coastal region performance apparently a colossal failure with some Congress candidates fearing security deposit forfeiture.
Congress led UPA – India’s major political party electoral debacle could be attributed to two major issues confronting the state – secessionism within state territory – Telangana seeking autonomy and rights to self-determination from Andhra Pradesh with decadent feudalism facilitating minority abuse of power over majority.
Congress Party as the State and national authority refusal to address the victims’ plight comprising farmers and marginalized mainstream led to massive protests and state shut down with huge revenue loss that could have been avoided through peaceful settlement by the government.
The second factor being corruption among State Congress members having become nationwide epidemic precipitated political defeat for both national parties – UPA II the current administration and major opposition BJP succumbed to electoral backlash.
Further the central government rejection of strong Jan Lokpal bill i.e. anti-corruption law protecting political class with impunity is the impetus driving electorate to demonstrate ballot power.
Similarly in Maharashtra with Mumbai as the capital and commercial center, Congress setback from municipal to state legislative seats is poignant resonating popular demand for corruption free society governed by real democracy barring nepotism and dynasty allegiance to globalist power.
State elections thus far with Uttar Pradesh up north and Andhra Pradesh down south is a huge disappointment to Congress party especially for present Gandhi family at the center,
The regional parties trouncing them across the nation is indicative of the beginning of the end of dominion republic rule reining control under the guise of democracy.
Transfer of Power rather than surrender of power in 1947 and subsequently in 1949 general rights briefing via constitution erroneously assumed as transformation to republic rule with national sovereignty still remaining under British Crown instead of Indian republic.
India under British Commonwealth of Nations shares the status with counterparts Australia and Canada in this regard.
Congress Party founded by Alan Octavian Hume during colonial era maintains undemocratic laws passed in 1878 until today alongside mute opposition committing sacrilege in temple of democracy – the Parliament.
Specifically the prevalent laws subjugating citizens to sustain authoritarianism somehow escapes Parliament members attention despite unprecedented fasting over ten years and other peaceful protests by civilians in the beleaguered regions of the country.
The Arms Act now known as AFSPA – Armed Forces Special Powers Act – the ramifications witnessed in North East and Kashmir Valley under national security pretext judiciously in compliance with globalist policy – governance by guns eliminating peace prospects and constructive dialogue.
Vernacular Press Act passed in the same year 1878 enacting press censorship and crackdown on civilian dissent critical of the government continues with same velocity in the twenty first century evidenced in the civilian death Rajbala at the anti-corruption rally in New Delhi.
Ironically the power granted by the people to the elected officials used against them with excess force, income tax raids, intelligence agencies 24/7 surveillance and denying due process on false allegations… are common political measures to exert authority.
Government and corporate collusion undermining democracy with corruption seeping into army barracks in lucrative deals and contracts is the expansion of globalist agenda aimed at world dominance by discrediting nations through puppet regimes deliberate sabotage of economic progress not to mention the threat to sovereignty emanating from persistent external influence.
The two large political party system in India with the rest disoriented, there is an urgent need to fill the void in the absence of formidable political representation for the people restoring law and order in the political lawlessness extended into other branches of public and private enterprise.
Anti-corruption legislation viz. Jan Lokpal bill, Right to Reject and Right to Recall – the overwhelming requests from electorate will not be promoted by government and other political factions due to conflict of interest and lack of political will.
The alternative to the dilemma is India against corruption i.e. IAC coalescence with substantial membership across the nation forming a political party and contesting elections to give electorate a fair option in the local, state and national elections.
Then IAC could achieve political reform as legislators instead of activists given the political establishment defiance in passing robust Jan Lokpal bill even though corruption is a monumental problem decimating the moral and ethical pillars in society.
The civil society genuine concerns regarding corruption dismissed as intrusion in Parliamentary affairs by political machinery evading investigation and prosecution for treason, embezzlement and violation of constitutional law as well as Parliament sanctity proved in cash for votes in Parliament and during elections to public office.
IAC upon being elected delivering promises post elections in Parliament, State assembly, city and municipality would strengthen democracy with a new chapter defining Indian political future.
Again IAC in solidarity could shape the political landscape starting from local to national heights and lead India in turbulent times in history ending foreign demagoguery and sophistry declining proposals beneficial to nation at large.
Indian electoral mandate in the latest elections clarify republic power in changing political dynamics slighted by elected representatives against the convention not to hurt the source or reverse could happen given voters are the decision makers in a democratic environment.
Proceeding with the trend in forthcoming elections would yield republic empowerment.
India awakening to reality on political accountability legitimized in voters’ discernment is the tip of the iceberg with imminent sea change on the horizon.
Congratulations! To winners in Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra on the political victory in by-polls.
Good Luck to India against corruption (IAC) with the new millennium political party pledged to greater good of the people and the nation.
Jai Bharat! Vande Mataram!
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Myanmar – Landslide Victory for NLD in by-elections
April 3, 2012
By Padmini Arhant
Heartfelt Congratulations! To citizens of Myanmar, National League for Democracy and leadership Aung San Suu Kyi on the landslide victory in by-elections paving way for democracy currently as strong and legitimate opposition soon evolving into republic ruling power at the center.
Myanmar has long been denied political freedom and fundamental rights to elect genuine representation committed to public and national interest.
After great sacrifices and struggles over decades, the ray of hope emerging through NLD under internationally renowned leadership of Aung San Suu Suki guarantees optimism for the South East Asian nation.
Myanmar President Thein Sein and military junta recognition of the electoral mandate is welcome more so on the political reforms exemplified in holding by-elections – the preliminary step towards democracy with anticipated rapid development on the horizon.
The conciliatory response to people’s democratic aspirations is a positive sign and maintaining the inclusive policy for equal and fair political opportunity to all regardless of demographic strength would broaden national prospects across the spectrum.
Political system receptive to democracy eliminating military governance from civilian rule is crucial for true democratic functionality beginning with constitutional amendment in this regard and civil liberty to pledge irreversible status.
Military confined to safeguarding security in the national frontiers rather than involvement in Parliamentary affair is best suited enhancing the institution’s unique responsibility and disciplinary character that could bring forth the defense academy respect and appreciation for democracy.
The election outcome favoring NLD is an affirmation for sea change in political landscape imperative for nation building and economic revival.
Military representatives amid civilian elected legislators arguably form the basis for domestic and international concerns delaying democratic process into fruition.
The military intervention in politics threatens democracy subjugating population despite opposition bipartisanship on some legislative issues creating a false perception of public acceptance amongst army hierarchy not necessarily synchronized with reality.
Myanmar government preparation to move forward with other political reforms focused on peace and reconciliation with ethnic groups would be an important milestone and a paradigm shift from the contemporary trend using military might and brutal force.
Similarly in dealing with secessionism largely arising from disenfranchisement, gross economic and social inequality marred with violence often leads to fierce confrontation ultimately resulting in civil war.
The armed conflict aimed at right to self-determination and federalism confronted with the dilemma of ceasefire or political negotiations between government and opposing factions could not be addressed without mutual agreement to end fighting and,
Meanwhile organizing peace talks for amicable resolutions on all relevant matter would expedite desperately required humanitarian relief to victims caught in crossfire.
The government procrastination or rebels default could jeopardize the fragile initiatives and keeping promises is incumbent upon on all sides to arrive at a general consensus for national benefit.
Myanmar’s request to international community especially the United States to lift economic sanctions in consideration of latest political progress with more in the immediate future is reasonable and highlights the impending actions for comprehensive political transformation required ahead of national elections in 2015.
Trade embargo invariably hurts the people more than the intended target and precipitates economic decline for the country barely surviving in the volatile global economy.
Regional cooperation could perhaps ease the burden with exchange of goods and services strengthening partnerships through exports and imports complementing the balance of trade.
Myanmar has great potential to compete effectively in the global environment provided there is political will to abandon obsolete measures to curb dissent along with divestments from military spending to economic goals.
In acknowledgment of peace and diplomacy combined with by and large free and fair elections that delivered 40 out of 45 Parliamentary seats to NLD,
The status quo confirms the present government’s willingness to accept republic governance conforming to twenty first century timeline bracing the momentum for better economic standards, political liberation and social justice.
On that sanguine note, wishing the people of Myanmar and leaderships tremendous success in all endeavors dedicated to entire society and nation at large.
Peace, republican democracy and prosperity in abundance to Myanmar.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

New Delhi – BRICS Summit 2012
March 30, 2012
By Padmini Arhant
The five emerging economies Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa represented BRICS summit 2012 in New Delhi, India.
BRICS consolidated GDP growth and steady progress contributed to the positive trend despite turbulence in the global economy predominantly from European and United States debt crises combined with recent western imposed sanctions against Iran having ripple effects on consumers and businesses around the world.
BRICS latest plan to introduce development bank and local credit facility would be extremely productive providing opportunities for struggling economies and developing nations to borrow funds without surrendering natural resources and human capital as collateral for depletion and exploitation compromising sovereignty in the end.
The financial institutions by BRICS could address the burgeoning economic crises assisting nations with basic requirements to advanced technology promoting structural capabilities for survival and sustenance in the competitive globalized economy.
Contemporary problems confronting nations is corruption and systemic abuse of power posing major impediments in uplifting economic standards pervasively to reflect international systems effectiveness in any capacity.
Although graft might be a domestic challenge,
The detrimental impact on global business cannot be ignored with unaccounted money belonging to national treasury stashed away in overseas bank accounts exacerbating budget deficits and cash flow depriving public sector investments in improving infrastructure, health, education and broad range economic activities that could otherwise reduce dependency on internal or external funding.
Besides corruption culture in politics and economics representing operational facets in society leads to dysfunctional mode deterring foreign investors from long-term commitments affecting industrial output and employment.
BRICS development bank in this respect could ease the burden on citizens engaged in contentious battle with political authorities embedded in lucrative ventures through government contracts or private firms seeking license for various entrepreneurial projects by incorporating transparency and accountability as pre-requisite for borrowing to cultivate discipline and ethics in fiscal management.
Considering EU, IMF and World Bank severe austerity measures and unreasonable demands tied to economic rescue package is yet to bring relief except producing political instability and social unrest,
BRICS targeted programs along with repair and restoration strategy could prove highly beneficial to ailing economies emulating BRICS achievement rising from gloom to bloom status in the past decade.
The alternative reserve currency could counteract U.S. dollar and euro volatility in substitution during international trade especially for nations unable to compete due to national currency devaluation from political turmoil or unfair trade policies such as Free Trade Agreement rather than Fair Trade Deal.
Furthermore, currency float backed with gold bullions would guarantee equilibrium in variable market conditions maintaining value to volume ratio.
In other matter, UNSC resolutions against Iran and Syria – Russia and China apparently sharing similar concerns regarding western military intervention and crippling economic sanctions while respecting other BRICS partners flexibility often swayed in favor of the west.
Reiterating earlier statement – trade embargo and military strikes against Syria and Iran is counterproductive with ramifications currently experienced in many parts of Europe and world over.
India and South Africa having voted for UNSC proposal against Syria is indicative of western dominance with the two nations compliance overriding pragmatism and undermining national sovereignty.
Containing tensions in the region and terminating armed conflicts via disarmament is in common interest of all to protect citizens in Syria suffering casualties from violence thus far.
Syrian oppositions refusal to ceasefire with fragmentation within attributed to political stalemate blocking main street civilian leaders to commence dialogue for fruitful negotiations eliminating apprehensions on potential civil war.
Global security is intact with unanimous approval of peace process abstaining from bias and focused on objectivity to deliver desirable outcome – preventing loss of lives and peaceful democratic solutions to political upheaval.
Likewise lifting sanctions against Iran in the absence of any evidence of nuclear weapons program is essential for international organizations like UNSC and EU credibility and integrity at present on the decline with reasons revealed in the record – viz. Iraq and Libya.
BRICS cooperation in ratifying climate treaty to achieve 1.5°C or 350ppm would pronounce solidarity on humanitarian issues and planet sustenance.
Good Luck and Success to BRICS aspirations in all frontiers to serve humanity with viable financial center stimulating global productivity for prosperity amongst all.
Peace to all!
Thank you.
