India – Hegemony Run Political Establishment
September 20, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
In the previous segment, snapshot on hegemony backed regimes were presented to review reality.
Although the earlier topic only covered few among several worldwide, the facts confirm status quo.
Similarly, India apparently independent nation regardless of dominion republic declaration clarifying non-termination of foreign rule prevalent in proxy governance.
Hegemony strategy premised on control over entire political establishment bid on all factions for win win situation in the so-called election with foreign and domestic illegal funding serving political office bearers, campaign donors and incognito rulers’ interests through beguiled electorate vote.
Indian elections attract donations from myriad sources creating prime time to liquidate black money not barring counterfeit notes printing to bribe voters besides overseas funders viz. Ford foundation, Saudi Arabia and alike involvement up until now.
The political system with prominent political parties at the national and regional level forging alliances alternate positions as ruling and opposition while maintaining agenda to protect each other from accountability on corruption and criminality.
Tax revenues become personal wealth and used to gain political mileage.
For better understanding – the two major political parties Congress and BJP cited in the example.
In hegemony political screen play, direction and production – the common scheme is developing poster-figure (poster-boy) to camouflage duplicity.
With Congress Party – hegemony choice to head Indian government was former World Bank member and economist Dr. Manmohan Singh promoted as Mr. Honest and Mr. Clean later turned out to be otherwise in Coalgate scam and remaining oblivious in 2G spectrum scandal.
Finance, Defense and Foreign Affairs appointments are hegemony authorized and hence World Bank ex-officials viz. current President Pranab Mukherjee, then finance minister P. Chidambaram in key posts were least surprising due to allegiance to external authority.
Congress Party – British Raj representative A.O. Hume founded Congress originated in pre-independence India retained dynasty until today.
The Congress Party led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) term I and II (2004 – 2014) was progressive on explosive corruption scandals from top to bottom i.e. the High Command to lowest order enabling hegemony operated foreign banks and tax havens flourish at Indian population expense.
Organized crime syndicate funneled financial institutions under Congress Party chief Sonia Gandhi and UPA finance minister P. Chidambaram not to mention BJP complicity considering inaction as chief opposition sums up political collusion.
Cash for votes not only on campaign trail but also extended in Parliament with BJP theatrical performance in an effort to absolve responsibility is a serious blow to democracy.
Congress survival rocked not from BJP or any other political group strength. In fact, the self-inflicted damages with massive corruption unfolding despite political parties and hegemony owned media cover up, the fox could no longer hide in sheep’s clothing scenario emerged on Congress and allies’ corruption deals paving the way for hegemony alternative – BJP and coalition.
BJP – Bharatiya Janata Party with British Raj fostered RSS also dating back to colonial era like Congress is hegemony’s other wing.
Hegemony prepared to roll the dice favoring BJP candidate. Politics finds strange bedfellows in the ambiance of adversary becoming an ally and vice versa.
Indian state Gujarat former Chief Minister Narendra Modi was hegemony approved candidate in the bogus Gujarat re-election in 2012 against pseudo contender supposedly representing common man basically to stifle average citizens’ representation.
Hegemony policy and advise to power hungry political class to ride on targeted individual’s back while the entity isolated and shunned from reference in sheer violation of free speech and democratic rights justified under false pretext is indicative of fearing expeditious self-collapse.
The piracy and plagiarism evident in copyright infringement with ideas, solutions, phrases and style from PadminiArhant.com presented as their own not to mention identity theft speaks volume on the political and personal character.
Furthermore, imitation of positive contributions without due acknowledgment is fraudulence and forgery constituting punishable crime in a civilized society in addition to burdening self with irreversible karmic effects.
Alternatively, caricature by paid actors using offensive material and platform is desperate times seeking desperate measures eventually hurting the catalysts and source. The contrived conduct poorly reflects on the promoters’ background and political embodiment.
Above all spying and 24/7 surveillance including eavesdropping and intrusion in private residence with little or no respect for other’s life is indecency and perversion emanating from political insecurity.
On the contrary, the political circle and everyone connected to them depleting national income and thriving on taxpayers funded salary and privileges not excluding sprawling mansions live discreet life cloaked in secrecy when they deserve to be on public radar.
In other activities placing the gun on other’s shoulders unleashing provocative and inflammatory sentiments is a cowardly gesture and do not necessarily safeguard the façade for what lies underneath is explicit in legacy and ongoing trend.
All actions have serious repercussions without exception.
Hegemony and delegates in Indian politics as Muslims half-brothers feign identity denying undeniable relationship with indifference to warfare imposed on people of Islamic faith worldwide.
The incumbent Indian administration recent borrowed remarks on terrorism is a cliché and disingenuous in light of latest abstinence on UN vote rather than unequivocal yeah endorsing Palestinian rights to file complaint on Israeli authorities’ atrocities with International Criminal Court of Justice.
Simultaneously Indian political apparatus at hegemony behest slight real freedom fighters like Netaji Subash Chandra Bose deemed imperialists enemy.
Juxtaposed the functionaries unduly glorify late Indian President A P J Abdul Kalam perhaps because of latter acquiescence to foreign manned Indian government’s unsavory stratagem.
Hegemony and Indian political contingency convoluted disposition is self defeating in the heightened absurdity.
The uncanny resemblance in hegemony remote rule in India cannot escape attention.
Hegemony projected ex-Prime Minister Manmohan Singh with emphasis on integrity to keep Congress headed UPA in power.
Now the 66 years old Prime Minister Narendra Modi is hegemony’s poster person to advance foreign agenda.
Nonetheless fake image and personality is a hard sell requiring hyped marketing. Anything unauthentic inevitably fizzle more so with those inclined to despotism verifiable in history serving as testimony.
Likewise, hegemony loyalists P. Chidambaram holding finance ministry during Congress tenure and same portfolio awarded to BJP’s unsuccessful candidate Arun Jaitley in the national election is pre-determined decision mocking democracy.
Not long ago hegemony slated BJP as fundamentalists, hindutva and saffron party refusing then Gujrat Chief Minister Narendra Modi travelers visa to visit United States quoting Godra communal violence as the factor.
Now in the well known political flip flop hegemony extending unprecedented rating lauding Modi governance is misnomer ignoring significant failures enumerated below.
Indian Parliament Monsoon session stymied and pronounced complete washout in the domestic front and foreign affairs – the critical high level talks between nuclear neighbors India and Pakistan – National Security Advisors meeting cancellation explains the lack of initiatives and misplaced priority.
Farmers plight with suicides that began in Congress fronted UPA duration escalated at present and war veterans hunger strike to receive fair pensions initially resisted authorizing police intervention to disperse peaceful assembly.
Modi Sarkar or government dubbed Mercantile Modi not without reasons with India’s wealthiest and leading industrialists Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani exerting influence and their delegations regularly accompany PM overseas tour.
Modi administration in return exchange partiality with requests to United States to list the moguls from economic, entertainment and political field in VIP category exempting them from security protocol applicable to ordinary citizens within and outside United States.
Indian political structure adapts United States political pattern with Wall Street drafting legislations through intense lobbying alongside special interests like AIPAC, NRA, religious zealots and institutions for imperial aspirations remaining firm on their respective ideology much to national and international detriment.
Viewing through Indian prism, the political parties predominantly represent the rich, famous and powerful in society.
Indian politics using caste and religion for communal divide is standard practice inherited from colonial ruler.
NDA and BJP trust deficit with Muslim community in India stems from Gujarat and Ayodhya incidents no less than counterpart Congress response towards Sikhs and Sri Lankan Tamils aiding previous Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksha brutal crackdown following former Prime Ministers Indira Gandhi and Rajeev Gandhi assassination.
The political tactic to address this problem is indeed uniquely deceptive. BJP cohort All India Majilis-e-ltte(?)had-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) – the Hyderabad based party flamboyant President Asaduddin Owaisi and sibling Akbaruddin Owaisi are BJP leadership and RSS sponsored canons exacerbating the existing authority credibility.
Whenever politics engage in Machiavellian approach aimed at end justifying the means, these are ominous signs for precipitous decline.
The analogy using Congress and BJP applies to regional political parties with prolonged rule enforced via flawed electoral process.
Indian political chronicle too consists assassination conforming to violent removal of leaders especially Mahatma Gandhi – pioneer of peace and non-violence raising poignant question on the price the nation expected to pay upon insiders committing treason to appease foreign power.
India’s freedom from oligarchy, dynasty, religious extremism and antiquated caste orientation preserved to facilitate hegemony dominance is paramount to experience pervasive progress in the country with vast potential.
Peace to all!

Imperialism – Anti Humanity Doctrine
September 13, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
Colonialism survival predominantly dependent on hierarchy and polarization in society with duplicity in policy not to mention adopting any means to sustain unsustainable parasitic tradition.
Colonial strategy is subversion of religion sanctity and civilization heritage.
British Raj during overt reign in India created Rashtriya Sevak Sangh (RSS) in 1930 promoted as Hindu fundamentalists when in reality the organization and political parties pledged allegiance to colonial power until today.
RSS creation is imperialists affront to Hindu religion and Hindu philosophy committed to secularism. At the other end of the spectrum are factions in British partitioned Pakistan opposed to constructive process with India.
Similarly, British colonial power produced Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt projected as Islamic fundamentalists while aiding and abetting the rise of Muslim Brotherhood behind the scenes to serve colonial agenda.
Not surprisingly Muslim Brotherhood refrained from participation in Egypt uprising against Western ally – the dictatorial regime of ex-President Hosni Mubabarak in Tehrir Square, Cairo in 2011.
Furthermore, the so-called first democratic election in Egypt following the western partner Mubarak government ouster in 2011 fielded western candidate Mohammad Morsi representing none other than Muslim Brotherhood.
The dichotomy in imperialists pretense to generate impression of western aversion for fundamentalism with legacy fostering extremism using religion and communal divide expose true identity.
The contrived position extended through RSS in India essentially subscribes to subordination and marginalization prevalent in Indian caste system.
The imperialist response via RSS to the article published on this site titled India – Good Governance Upon Clean Governance calling for abolition of antiquated caste structure in Indian society beckons attention.
RSS chief – interestingly named Bhagwat in the backdrop of goddess Durga banner referring to Indian caste classification as Indian family system proclaimed the degenerative practice – Akshunn interpreted as unbroken and Takat (power) of Hindu Samaj (society).
In fact, the society crafted caste pyramid is proved Apshakun i.e. bad omen and b weakness not power derailing social progress notwithstanding contradiction in India’s status as thriving secular democracy.
A real functioning democracy would exemplify equality and respect human values determined by deed not creed.
The archaic caste custodians cherish discriminatory practice voiding eligibility to be part of human race for the term human is derived from HUMANE – the salient characteristic for Homo sapiens in Mammalia.
Again India’s caste orientation always ranks first among other problems in western criticism about India revealing imperialists hypocritical overture.
The caste denomination is farcical conflicting with the current trend in every other individual’s claim as almighty God.
Above all the superiority asserted on caste based criteria bowing to cannibal sponsors is the irony.
RSS and Muslim League / Brotherhood are two sides of the coin to serve imperial cause – disparage religions relevantly Hinduism and Islam respectively besides establishment of proxy governance.
Imperialism favored dynasty and despotism alternated in politics denying sovereignty and republic rule.
Imperialism contemporary involvement sponsoring terrorism recruit vulnerable and credulous youth branded as jihadists to destabilize nations in the Middle East and North Africa.
Likewise, Central and South Asia notably Afghanistan and Pakistan declared failed states with terror manifestation strengthened through arms supply and military aid.
ISIL evolution into ISIS having emerged from imperial power designed al Qaeda is a classic symptom of ailing supremacy to prolong decadence.
The imperialist destructive goals verifiable in Afghanistan’s Helmand province depriving Afghan farmers from food agriculture such as wheat, maize, mung beans, nuts and produce…forced into poppy cultivation from western capital and profits shared by Taliban – supposedly the enemy combatant fighting against United States and NATO for the last fourteen years in the U.S. taxpayers funded warfare.
Imperialists anti humanity doctrine targets religion, social, political, economic and environment development in the self-effacing stratagem.
The counterproductive course best abandoned since actions have repercussions without exception.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

India – Transparency and Accountability
September 10, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
Indian political establishment ensconced in fair share of corruption scandals at national and regional level amongst ruling and opposition alike can no longer circumvent transparency and accountability.
What is relevant in transparency and accountability?
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee release of files related to Sharada scam for public scrutiny is critical rather than executing vilayathi (firangi) masters’ orders on Netaji life.
Netaji – the honorable patriot and gem amongst freedom fighters refusal to bow to tyranny epitomize courage and integrity – a rare quality in contemporary politics. Accordingly, India’s admirable son immortalized in Indian history.
Unfortunately, the great souls sacrifice pledging their life for the country now squandered with reversal of action amongst political class nationwide.
The nation is under siege with foreign exerted authority in proxy governance fostering corruption culture.
The public wealth from various scandals beginning with Bofor, 2G spectrum, CWG, Coalgate to Vyapam Scam, Lalit Modi Saga and shielding entities involving money laundering in INEX Media connected with much publicized homicide case is national overview implicating members in the ruling and oppositions combined until now.
Not to mention the regional states political factions and governments in Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Madya Pradesh, Bihar, Uttarakhand, Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu to name a few implicated in series of scams, disproportionate assets and black money stashed away in foreign accounts enabling offshore criminal syndicate profiteering while millions in India are left naked, homeless and forced into abject poverty.
Transparency and accountability is required in the political class surrender of assets setting precedence for the rest to follow in the country.
The funds recovery from political circle and allied sources due to Indian treasury would adequately provide for economic growth improving several million lives in every part of the country.
The procrastination in this context tantamount defiance in compliance of the law applicable on ordinary citizens in the nation.
Criminality in governance imposing law and order in society not only a credibility factor but also delegitimizes such functionary to serve the state and the nation.
As for the shadow power remote orchestration – when the foundation is flawed, the apparent structural fragility contributes to imminent collapse.
The enactments on international issues with collusion amongst performers in quid pro quo is illusive and self defeating in the pursuit to prolong unsustainable status.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

India – Good Governance Possible Upon Clean Governance
By Padmini Arhant
The tradition preventing progress in investigations on money laundering involving firms and political members in high profile homicide case leading to exposure of individuals in politics and companies impedes transparency and accountability.
The political trend stifling process at critical juncture when closing in on key sources behind criminal activities confirms status quo.
Governments intervention with typical actions in transfer or removal of head of the team conducting probe maintaining integrity and diligence expected in civil service proliferates corruption – the major impediment in country’s development.
The civil service – Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS) and Criminal Bureau of Investigation (CBI) cadre routine experience is dispatch to remote locations or forced to accept lack luster positions upon demonstrating honesty and application of law regardless of stature especially politics, economic sector and entertainment industry – entities treated above law in society premised on prominence exerting influence.
Corruption rampant in political establishment due to self granted impunity and judiciary conforming to politics diktat rather than adherence to judicial law and constitutional framework is yet another challenge for the nation in purging graft laden system.
The acquittal and exonerations of those in politics, economic and entertainment segments despite evidence and corruption legacy is a travesty of justice promoting subversion of law.
The laws only meant for mainstream population – the vulnerable and economically disadvantaged in particular emanating from unaffordability to comply with bribery demand.
Indian treasury at the central and state level depleted hurting ordinary citizens across the spectrum with complicity in prohibiting black money recovery and tax evasions held in Swiss bank accounts, Singapore hawala and offshore tax havens primarily amongst political members in the ruling and opposition alike.
The plethora of corruption scandals during Congress led UPA term I and II with continuity in the incumbent BJP, RSS and NDA government not to mention regional political factions viz. AIADMK, DMK and fragments in Tamil Nadu, the alliance in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh entrenched in Vyapam scam and Sharada Scam tied to TMC in West Bengal …is tip of the iceberg in corruption tsunami.
The political class alliance and extraordinary favors dubbed as humanitarian call to founder and IPL chief associated with country’s most wanted underworld cartel in nefarious financial dealings subscribe to paradoxical stances while both remain fugitives defying moral arc of justice.
Criminal background and series of violations among political office bearers is hardly a concern including deliberate misrepresentation and contradictory disclosure on credentials in sworn affidavit during elections misleading electorate – the conduct ordinarily deemed perjury punishable by law instead rewarded with cabinet post mocking democracy.
The political assertion in crackdown on black money exempt self and core members deflecting civic attention from them in artful maneuver.
The political tactic linking religion and divine connotations besides contemporary practice imputing failures and negativities to targeted opponent whilst being gratuitous – hogging undue credits from the respective entity hard work and good deeds clarifies opportunism ad nauseam.
Imitation of positive attributes interpreted as flattery. However, the gesture without acknowledgment of origin is forgery.
The innuendoes depicting discriminatory indulgence is a futile exercise and explanations in this context are farcical.
The unabated custom using caste and communalism for political mileage delineates those following antiquated hierarchy from human race.
Human being innate quality is to be humane transcending man made barriers with refrainment from societal prejudice. The resistance to acceptance and equality is civilization decline.
Condescendence and marginalization of others is reflective of internal decay. The overture on backward class is nothing more than mindset backwardness prompting insolence.
Polarization through indoctrination is political strategy inherited from dominant forces much to sponsors and catalysts detriment.
As for anyone restricting access to worshippers in temples on caste or religion bias is essentially isolating themselves from divine grace.
The pure spirit with sincere devotion and relevantly selfless actions to humanity attains God’s blessings with or without affiliation to faith.
Temples are common premise and not personal property. Such orientation is ignorance at best and pejorative at worst in religious concept.
In fact, God is realized within upon freedom from ego, envy, greed and hatred…the vices undermining reasoning faculty.
Furthermore, Lord Murugan aka Shanmugam or Karthik’s consort Valli is from gypsy tribe secluded in society as untouchables and backward sect.
Lord Murugan – the son of God Shiva and Shakti revered as Tamil and Hindu deity marriage to daughter from gypsy clan establish relations with not only Shiv Parivar (God Shiva’s Family) but also Lord Vishnu – Ranganathan as Murugan’s uncle.
The religious rituals and prayers for Lord Murugan i.e. Velavan with Valli is performed as eliminating Valli would be rejecting Lord Murugan and everyone related to Shiva and Shakti’s son.
This is indeed a dilemma for those upholding caste and creed as determining factor for superiority.
The society reluctance to abolish caste and segregation of God’s children being reality, the ostentatious religious rites and ceremony allude to commercial activity notwithstanding disingenuous pious disposition.
Human value evaluated on character and sacrifice to uplift lives for pervasive benefit facilitating proximity to God.
The veneration of God lacking in fairness, egalitarianism, love and respect towards all is redundant and fulfilled for self-satisfaction.
On the issue of Swach Bharat – relieving the nation from corruption and political manipulation of justice would clear pathway for holistic approach.
The initiative beginning with Parliament members implicated on corruption charges and their overt as well as covert connections to unscrupulous elements brought to public scrutiny in national domain would provide credibility.
Clean environment made possible with corruption free governance and political representation.
After all household trash disposed on to main street contributing to unhealthy and life threatening conditions cannot be contained in the absence of effective measures to efface unnatural cause.
Swach Bharat would be meaningful with swach sarkaar (clean governance) comprising political power in the ruling and opposition defining political identity.
Tamil Nadu AIADMK government irresponsible course in massive intoxication of citizens with statewide liquor shops and state authorized violence against peaceful dissent to alcohol booths resulting in deaths and ruining families is culpable inflicting deliberate harm and suicides among citizenry. The government intentional damage is a criminal act with misuse of authority and disqualify the functionary as reliable administration to safeguard people interest.
The classic signs of proxy governance throughout India pledged allegiance to dissipating supremacy are political jargons – hindutva, backward caste, dalit, DR. Ambedkar, ‘rebel’ Subash Chandra Bose not barring the accused in criminal matter.
These are desperate times seeking disasters expediting inevitable conclusion of Dark Age.
India’s liberation from the corrupt and destructive external control with internal operatives committing treason significant to curtail indefinite suppression.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

India – Rakshabandhan (Rakhi) Festival
August 29, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
Greetings and felicitations to citizens observing the important social event – Rakhi.
Rakshabandhan epitomizes family value with focus on brother sister relation not only in family but also in society.
Rakshabandhan is a special occasion with a reminder to brother to safeguard sister’s honor and reciprocation from sister to support and cherish family bonding in male female relationship.
Gender equality allowing male and female in diverse roles in life is natural. The parental responsibility to be shared between father and mother and siblings caring for each other contributes to unity and happiness.
The festival is also an opportunity to revive rich cultural traditions that are meaningful and positive in maintaining human character that is unfortunately in decline with alarming incidents of rape regardless of age.
Human weakness to lust lacking in self control fostered with judicial outcome favoring rapists and decisions condemning rape victims in itself indicative of social and moral degradation. The social and political circle influence due to own indulgence exacerbates victims’ plight.
Women as opposite gender is primarily a mother, sister, daughter, granddaughter, niece, aunt and a good friend besides being a wife to a man in life.
In the modernization fervor portrayal of women as objects of voyeurism and general perception with sexual connotation provide basis for rape, molestation and sexual assaults against women. Again those involved in such violations have fundamental problems in personal traits reflecting on upbringing and inherent deficiency in adjusting to acceptable norms in society.
Furthermore, the escalation in repeat offense against women emanates from the absence of strict laws punishing the offenders rather than condescendence towards femininity.
Notwithstanding violence resulting in deaths of those coming forward to rescue women from eve teasers and mobs engaged in sexual harassment.
Society’s progress is evaluated on treatment of all beings with respect and dignity barring any prejudice.
Unless the milestone in this context is reached, the material achievements are ethereal and unsustainable.
Education, awareness and public debates are necessary to curb misogyny restoring equal status.
Best Wises on Rakhi to brothers and sisters following the Indian custom.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Indian Sub Continent – India Pakistan NSA Talks Cancellation
August 24, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
India and Pakistan national security advisors talks cancellation is regrettable and reveals lack of commitment in saving lives from terrorism.
Pakistan invitation to Kashmir separatists Hurriyat Conference and factions alike prior to NSA meeting scheduled on August 24, 2015 in New Delhi and demand to include Kashmir issue in the bilateral discussion rather than focus on terror in entirety is deviation from past and present official agreements.
The recent terror attacks in India – Udhampur, Jammu and Kashmir and Gurdaspur, Punjab deserves unequivocal attention considering repeat events leading to terror networks in Pakistan. The discourse devoted to terror incidents endangering civilian population on both sides is critical and would demonstrate Pakistan’s renewed efforts to expunge terror within state.
Furthermore, adherence to planned sessions on important matter such as terrorism without Kashmir and various problems in Indo-Pak relationship could have conveyed strong message to the world and terror sponsors as well as operatives in particular on Pakistan’s seriousness to free the nation from terror control.
Beginning with 9/11 in the United States and multiple terror activities against India and other neighbors notwithstanding terror blasts across Pakistan wreaking havoc in the country, the NSA forum was prime opportunity to exchange relevant information and devise effective strategy to purge terror.
Pakistan’s rejection of the proposal to hold exclusive summit on terrorism could be misinterpreted amongst terror groups as state complicity to terror operations inside and across the border.
The series of Line of Control violations in the frontiers cannot be slighted promoting militancy and incursion aimed at escalating tensions between two nuclear nations.
Pakistan’s statement on armed forces ability to defend national sovereignty ignores reality.
Pakistan is under siege with diverse terror organizations making life impossible for citizens in national domain and conducting terror against India and Afghanistan with ISI support.
The nation’s first enemy is the one committing treason and betray citizenry.
Pakistan’s sovereignty violated on many occasions and prominent instance being United States Abbottabad mission supposedly to capture and kill the long deceased al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden near national defense headquarter.
NATO provocative air raid on Pakistan that resulted in several armed personnel tragic casualties while deployed as coalition forces in Pakistan with no apology from aggressors until today is a major setback for military, intelligence and political establishment.
As for Baluchistan secessionism, the evidence with Israel’s Mossad trained agents infiltration in disguise proficient in local language apparently not detected by Pakistan’s intelligence and military in predisposition towards India.
Pakistan internal circles on Saudi Arabia funding and United States military aid remain existential threat to nation and the region.
The debate on Kashmir for Pakistan and external sources instigating hostility using the subject as pretext evade responsibility on involvements in aiding and abetting terror at home and foreign land.
Kashmir separatists as proxies to members with vested interests at Kashmiris expense contributing to endless plight in subversion embarked as liberation crusade.
Kashmir is relevant to citizens in the valley more than anyone anywhere in the world. The proselytized state comprises people of origin not necessarily subscribing to politically motivated foreign agenda. Accordingly, Kashmir merits comprehensive review and resolution to follow in due course.
Those nations prompting behind Kashmir topic need to introspect on prevalent situations against religious denominations of Islam viz. Bahai in Iran, incessant violence against Shia in Pakistan, the war in Yemen targeting Shias representing Houthi movement, the persecution of Kurds in Turkey, sectarianism in Iraq facilitating western and Middle East allies recruited terror and last but not the least the contentious Palestinian dispute.
Muslim nations worldwide are confronted with interior turmoil and fragility emanating from western influenced policy to deny political freedom in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, UAE, Iraq as well as Iran to name a few in volatile Middle East.
Similarly, Islamic nations in South, South East and Central Asia besides Africa susceptible to political instability and unrest largely from incoherence and western dominance through military bases and occupation under the guise of security.
Pakistan’s democracy suppressed with military and intelligence agency intrusion in governance. Since British partition of India in 1947, Pakistan struggles to retain democratic system with lingering opposition to civilian rule.
Then there are schisms proliferating turbulence with underworld crime syndicate and nefarious elements provided refuge with immunity from investigation and extradition.
The existing conditions in Pakistan is impetus on national priority to engage in constructive and meaningful interaction with India and surrounding neighbors in containing terror and insurgency claiming innocent lives all around.
Setting political differences and opinions aside, Pakistan and India resumption of talks at political, military and Border Security Forces levels pertinent to alleviate civilian suffering on either side.
The national pledge to safeguard citizens’ safety and territorial integrity is possible upon renouncing ties with those causing mayhem.
In the absence of delineation from terror manufacturers, the posturing on fighting terror is disingenuous and already consuming the premise fostering enmity.
Pakistan and India dealing with positive intentions to protect lives and eliminate skirmishes would guarantee sustainable peace.
The desirable economic growth and progress is attainable in peaceful and stable environment. The governments dedication to diplomacy in reaching mutual consensus would determine the strength of democracy and independent status of a nation.
Pakistan and India are urged to move forward in forging better relations based on respect for life and trust in delivering secure future to the current and next generations.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

United Nations – Social Economic Equality Possible Upon UNSC Dissolution
August 20, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
United Nations inception following world war II in the twentieth century with United Nations Security Council (UNSC) comprising imperial powers – Britain, France, United States, China, Russia and new addition Germany in P5+1 mislead UN purpose.
UNSC five permanent nuclear nations with veto authority is a hierarchy in contradiction to contemporary economic dynamics and geopolitical landscape.
The global powers syndrome exercising prerogative at UNSC slight remaining members of United Nations set up as an international body.
UN poised as an International organization is on UNSC oversight.
UNSC P5+1 along with counterpart EU aim to prolong imperial era.
UNSC imposing economic sanctions against non-western countries and fomenting international crises through military interventions and operations involving terrorism rather than preventing them proved counterproductive.
UNSC arbitrary dealings against nations regarded adversaries with trade and financial embargo viz. North Korea, Cuba, Syria and lately United States and Israel created South Sudan are few examples of ongoing economic warfare.
Imperialism revived in UNSC ambit with P5+1 as former imperialists renewing aspirations in respective regions for economic and strategic dominance.
United States military prowess demonstrated in militarization of Africa besides extending support to France in neocolonization of the continent.
United States sprawling military bases worldwide not sparing island nations defines imperial goals despite colossal failure in invasion and occupation of foreign land adventure.
The expedition downside experienced in national front costing United States taxpayers in trillions expended in destruction of nations backfired in domestic economic situation far from recovery.
United States direct control over Latin America conspicuous in disabling democratic governments and promoting contraband substances ranging from drugs to arms in North, South and Central America. The economic strategy Free Trade Agreement is one of many dimensions to exert rule in that domain. The Caribbean nations debilitated by enforcing foreign economic and military plan.
United States and NATO military drills in Baltic sea, presence in Afghanistan covering Central Asia, United States activity in Korean Peninsula implementing Pivot Asia policy claimed as curtailing Russia and China incursions in the respective regions perpetually escalate tensions and proliferate conventional as well as nuclear arms race.
The skirmishes are also impetus for disproportionate defense spending producing more poverty and economic struggles worldwide.
Britain’s unwillingness to renounce empire trait in the twenty first century evident in impugns on Malvinas of the Argentinian coast, Gibraltar in Iberian Peninsula and nations held under dominion status notwithstanding substantial landmass in Antarctica and waters in Indian Ocean declared private estate.
France relentless pursuit in Africa is a lost cause refusing to learn from the past exploitation of Africa.
Russia having gained from territorial annexation of Crimea in the wake of Ukraine destabilization ominously assert Arctic zone i.e. the North Pole as state owned property.
Russian Federation attempts to resurrect ex-Soviet bloc largely attributed to United States and NATO upsurge in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
United States and NATO coordination in Eastern and Central Europe other than Central Asia generated Russia formation of Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) with Baltic states membership and China-Russia initiated Shanghai Cooperation Organization to counter existential territorial ambitions.
China’s predisposition on stretching border lines apparent since seizure of Tibet.
Furthermore, Maoist infiltration in Nepal and north eastern India enlarge China’s encroachment on Indian frontier with Arunachal Pradesh, Ladakh and Aksai Chin Kashmir remaining contentious in that context.
Subsequent to economic rise in the latter half of twentieth century, China’s territorial disputes with neighboring states in South China Sea has intensified offering United States pretext to besiege Asia Pacific.
Middle East – Imperial alliance with Israel, Saudi Arabia and Turkey engaged in endless violence and proclamation of nuclear treaty between P5+1, EU and Iran epitomize two sides of the coin.
The paradigm shifts in western powers partnership with Iran in the region is reminiscent of western approach towards Libya for easy access to Libyan oil and economic resources during Libyan leader Muammar Gaddaffi governance.
Western maneuver in replacing Saudi Arabia with Iran and incentives to convince Israel on Iran nuclear deal clarifies imperial powers classic characteristics on enmity and amity to suit convenience.
Similarly, Iran’s close economic ties with Turkey amid Turkey’s overt indulgence in terror against Iraq and Syria spilling over to Lebanon pose conflict of interest exacerbating humanitarian plight.
The quid pro quo between P5+1, EU and Iran sharing commonality on imperial legacy depends on western forces balancing act with old ally Israel.
Western strategy with Persian nation Iran in Arab oriented Middle East is enactment of Persian and Ottoman reign vying for regional superiority.
Europe – Germany as P5+1 entity, European Union dominant member and euro zone chief beneficiary is hegemony augmentation in transatlantic.. Germany capitalizing on vulnerable EU members viz. Greece economic woes facilitate international creditors ECB, IMF and EC monopoly in executing imprudent economic scheme under the guise of rescue package.
UN credibility and viability jeopardized with UNSC decisions on international matter and UN missing in action on pivotal issues related to human misery. UN peace keeping corps reputation compromised in war torn nations especially Africa with allegations on certain UN squad for sexual assault and atrocities against women and children.
UN performance or the lack thereof in resolving Palestinian problem and leaving Sri Lankan Tamil civilians to fend for themselves from Sri Lankan military raid and summary executions…not barring partisanship on sectarian clashes confirm one world government agenda and resistance to transformation seeking departure from exclusivity and unipolar mechanism.
UNSC dissolution abandoning flawed system and relieving UN organization from external jurisdiction prevalent in UN Secretary General appointment and diverse engagement is the preliminary step in building reliable global consortium.
UN addressing disparity within would set precedence for universal equality.
Humanitarian progress made possible with recognition of errors and sincere commitment to amend and adopt positive measures benefitting the world at large.
Peace to all!

India – Independence Day Commemoration 2015
August 15, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
India commemorates Independence Day 68th anniversary on August 15.
Subsequent to overt British Raj, India adapting Parliamentary system recognized as world’s largest democracy premised on secularism and diversity with caste hierarchy and communalism remaining predominant feature in social structure.
Political speech to transcend caste and communal practice and in the same address using caste references makes overture disingenuous for actions verify intention.
The evolution across the spectrum varies with contrasting characteristics in inheritance of British Raj legacy in politics and sharp deviation from Indian culture in general.
Social behavior in appearance and attitude claimed modern has created identity syndrome. The external influence reflected in internal conversion and erosion of Indian heritage. The trend is in semblance with European invasion of China enabled by British Raj opium introduction in the early twentieth century for market access.
Indian politics representing the rich, famous, self-proclaimed royals and dynasty continue to defend indefensible activities alternating terms in office to protect ethos favoring corruption, criminality, treason and abuse of power.
India’s ruling class predominantly comprising bourgeois reminiscent of British Raj impedes comprehensive development.
Nonetheless, the mainstream contribution led India towards significant achievements in the economic sector qualifying the nation as emerging economy.
Indian workforce and entrepreneurial innovation facilitated economic growth amid challenges in global economy.
Indian diaspora excellence in overseas domains combined with expatriates’ payments to family back home boost foreign currency reserves and economic opportunity.
India’s domestic production could exceed expectations in the absence of persisting conflict of interest for personal gains involving political figures depriving nation of due revenue.
The taxation laws exempting wealthy and entities with extraordinary income is shelter for tax evasion and offshore holdings draining national treasury.
Indian central and state governments reluctance to legislate effective anti-corruption measures defy transparency and accountability maintaining status quo in avoiding self-implications.
India subscribing to neo-liberalization economic policy – euphemism for contentious Free Trade Agreement launched as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) for multinational corporations venture is a litmus test considering experience elsewhere mostly resulting in unilateral profitability.
Foreign investments with mutual trade benefits preventing displacement of local businesses and retail industry, labor exploitation in addition to strict environment and safety regulations are critical in the backdrop of Union Carbide industrial disaster and mining incidents leaving victims in permanent ordeal.
Contemporary politics feign democracy with the electoral process having become the means to legitimize illegitimate rule.
The violations such as open bribery of voters, fraud and threats not barring killing of independent candidates are rampant in the quest for power.
Candidates with criminal records and individuals under investigations for unnatural deaths and corruption scandals not only allowed to participate but also funded to ensure victory in election.
The political members allegiance to corporate and foreign donors promoting candidacy during election alienate electorate and their problems using taxpayers funded police force to quell dissent and peaceful assembly.
The five methods deployed to suppress voice on issues concerning people and political cadre is law enforcement agency, income tax charges, intelligence bureau probe, media propaganda and character defamation.
India’s ordinary citizens plight beginning with;
The rise in farmers suicides with the onset of controversial land bill,
Urban and rural youth unemployment,
Marginalization of demography denying basic living conditions like electricity, water, sanitation, housing, road and transportation facilities,
Workers and management disputes in private and public sector unresolved hurting business and state economy.
The default on army veterans’ request for one rank one pension OROP clarifies misplaced priority.
Northeastern states unrest prolonged with Armed Forces Special Power Act (AFSPA) upholding British Raj enactment. Similar scenario is applicable in Kashmir valley.
On citizen security – Female gender regardless of age targeted with rape and sexual harassment. The crime escalation making women to fend themselves proves apathy to citizens’ trouble.
Notwithstanding neglecting women safety impacting national image and tourism.
Terrorism hits Indian soil in Gurdaspur, Punjab while political agitation intensified outside Parliament.
The recent standoff leading to Parliament session adjournment throughout monsoon season confirms complicity among ruling coalition and opposition parties in evading legislative responsibility. The tradition declining to bring high profile accused to justice continued safeguarding self-exposure.
Political opportunism peaks on any matter having slighted the same in the two-term period with preoccupation then stifling corruption involvement.
Central authority confrontation with democratically elected state government in New Delhi seek to settle political scores in the aftermath of electoral defeat with little or no respect for electorate requirements isolating them from the rest of the country.
New Delhi statehood is complete in full-fledged autonomy with police, anti-corruption bureau (ACB) and public utilities under Delhi state administration rather than federal jurisdiction.
Delhi government deserves equal treatment from the Central government setting aside political differences and partisanship, as citizens in Delhi are part of national configuration and accordingly entitled to federal assistance and cooperation.
The implementation of mandatory voting in Gujarat accompanied by penalty for non-compliance reject democratic value with imposition substituting option.
In the southern state of Tamil Nadu, liquor sale and distribution not even sparing four year old child is testament to political leadership dereliction of duty towards citizens’ welfare.
The state authorization of brute force against non-violent protesters and judicial maneuver delaying approval for anti-liquor silent demonstration is departure from democracy.
Last but not the least, New Delhi incumbent decision to transfer power from Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to Prime Minister and finance ministry appointed five members committee beckons attention.
In the panel, three members representing executive branch and two from RBI allowing majority vote on key functions viz. monetary policy, inflation and interest rate determination is a paradigm shift from convention granting veto power to Reserve Bank governor.
The rapid rollback in fiscal management needs Parliamentary discussion and people consent to avert misuse of financial control with no desire to change corruption climate in the country.
India’s progress could exponentially surge in eliminating corruption and black money hoardings with recovery of wealth held in Swiss Bank, global tax havens and fictitious enterprise within country.
The political establishment’s will is strong in resistance to public scrutiny of private assets exemplified in anti corruption bureau (ACB) removal from appropriate ambit in the prevalent discord with Delhi State Assembly.
India’s freedom struggle would end upon republic empowerment constituting glowing tribute to patriots and honorable leaders for their sacrifice in the independence movement.
Finally, Indian youth and citizens nationwide adopting environment friendly habits would enhance India’s commitment towards Prakarti. (Nature).
I convey my Greetings and felicitations to people in India on the occasion of India’s independence yet to be accomplished in entirety.
Best wishes to citizens in India for liberty, unity, peace and prosperity.
Jai Bharat! Vande Mataram!
Peace to all
Thank you.

Pakistan – Independence Day Celebration 2015
August 13, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
As much as I would like to wish citizens in Pakistan – Azadi Mubarak with August 14 observed as Independence Day, the situation reflect otherwise.
Pakistan may have sought independent status following British Raj partition of India in 1947.
However, Pakistan is yet to experience real freedom with fledgling democracy and foreign controlled intelligence and military restraining democratic evolution.
Pakistan is also under siege with terrorism within and across the borders in every frontier.
Saudi Arabia funding and influence in Pakistan is one of the reasons for terror manifestation considering Saudi kingdom involvement in terrorism since 9/11 in 2001 up until now in the Middle East, North Africa, Pakistan and Central Asia.
Saudi Arabia has also been heavily engaged in running madrassas – the religious schools in Pakistan and Central Asia inculcating extremism despite contradiction with religion of Islam.
Saudi Arabia and Israel policy in the Middle East fostering terror against Iraq, Syria and Lebanon also directed in Pakistan.
The external forces designed U.S. foreign policy is aimed at maintaining Pakistan and Afghanistan as failed states to justify arms sales to the former while prolonging U.S. and NATO presence in Afghanistan.
There is also vested interest in fomenting border tensions between Pakistan and neighbors India and Afghanistan with weapons delivery to various sides in addition to necessitating increase in national defense budget.
Pakistan’s major problem is terrorism wreaking havoc inside the country and across the boundaries and those behind incessant violence are operatives within Pakistan representing sources that are behind secessionism in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya and Yemen.
The internal radicalism exploiting economically deprived youth recruited by terror factions viz. Lakshar è Taiba (LeT) and Jaish è Mohammad (JeM) besides other factions receiving support from Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) remain existential threat to all – Pakistan, India and Afghanistan.
Pakistan border skirmishes with Iran pose security issue as well.
Amid terror and relentless violence, Pakistan is affected by natural disasters like severe floods leaving significant majority in adverse conditions with obstacles for humanitarian relief.
Pakistan is also targeted for provincial separatism in Sindh and Baluchistan.
Kashmir is a distraction restricting Pakistan from forging normal ties with India and avail opportunity in economic, cultural and infrastructure development.
Pakistan’s political system reliance on Saudi Arabia that is strongly opposed to democracy due to insecurity emanating from inevitable ending of dynasty rule should be a cause for concern and accordingly transform relations to economic trade excluding direct intervention in governance and society.
Saudi Arabia connection to sectarian killings of Shia Muslims in Pakistan in semblance with Iraq exacerbates Pakistan’s political and economic growth.
The absence of peaceful environment with terrorism and continuous bloodshed is a major hindrance for Pakistan in attracting foreign investment.
In conjunction to these constraints, Pakistan like most nations worldwide has to contend with corruption and black money in Swiss banks and offshore accounts again denying mainstream population basic means for survival.
The positive sign could perhaps be enabling democratic process to function with departure from military and intelligence agency backed coup disrupting political and economic progress.
Combatting terror is a collective responsibility and critical apparatus such as intelligence and military along with local law enforcement agency cooperation with people representatives in government rather than terror groups could lead to national freedom.
Pakistan’s focus and sincere commitment in this regard would guarantee better relations with neighbors and economic prospects in the competitive global economy.
Best Wishes to citizens in Pakistan on Independence Day celebration for a new chapter with peace and harmony.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Social Predicament – Misogynists Against Same Sex Marriage
August 9, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
The controversial theme brought to public attention for education and introspection obligatory in the process of evolution.
Incognito power and representatives paradoxical stance on all issues is well established with no recollection and realization of personal conduct due to preoccupation minding others life.
Recently the United States Supreme Court approved Same Sex Marriage bringing the states not in favor to conformity.
Although the action was politically motivated and not necessarily aimed at redressing inequality and ostracism,
The verdict is a victory in humanitarian context.
I present the facts for clarity.
As a woman and a mother, I regularly face condescendence and expected to contend with the notion that capability and independent thinking inconceivable for anyone isolated by those using various reservations as pretext for their prejudice.
There is constant reminder about the man’s world with no place for woman to lead and guide humanity.
The disposition emanates from lack of understanding and truth about womenfolk. There is also the element of negativities and insecurity subscribing to impropriety.
Concurrently there is no inhibition in plagiarism of my thoughts, words and identity that are declared as own for commercial and political gains much to inevitable karmic effects of such indulgence.
The divine status of woman in Hindu religion is slighted to maintain contemporary class of women as subordinate.
The present rulers and their proxies – women representatives follow instructions to the letter and delegated to tasks that defy characteristics like wisdom, vision, integrity, courage, care, compassion and patience to name a few in persona.
Alternatively contrived performance commonly witnessed during election campaign and term in office to prolong authority. Again anything unauthentic surface since falsehood continuity is not viable.
Importantly treatment of women at present is reminiscent of decadent era.
The persisting socio-economic disparity notably in wages and participation across the spectrum is anything but similar compared with male counterparts in many societies in the world.
The women plight range from abuse to denial of freedom and individual rights in developing nations and orthodox domain.
Likewise in the developed world women are projected and perceived as objects of voyeurism under socially advanced banner partly because of women willingness to compromise for fame and fortune.
A woman in pants and short hair adapting to man’s attire euphemistically regarded women liberation even when they are obedient servile functionary. Not to mention the appearance alluding to transgender or transvestite perception.
Among mainstream, women are victims of social stigma in rape, infertility and economic conditions tied to dowry deaths in India.
The sexual assault and concept of rape driven to denigrate a woman even though that poorly reflect on offenders’ weakness to lust and behavior suggestive of deviation from human race.
The sharp rise in incidents of rape targeting any age group attributed to leniency and tolerance in the absence of effective laws and measures to curb violation.
The irony is prominent figures, lawmakers and police are often cited for philander, sexual harassment and rape miscalculating fanfare and citizens funded designation. The crimes escalate in the comfort of political immunity.
Instead of directing society to treat and respect others in congruence to anticipation by them, the campaign foster unruly demeanor in lock stock and barrel with influential forces misleading for destructive purpose.
The propagations about women by and large focus on body and physical features that are perishable upon soul exit from corporal state.
Interestingly mind and intelligence acknowledged as masculine trait rather than equal endowment in feminine quality.
How does society augur arrival of female child?
Female infanticide discarding fetus (foetus) misusing ultrasound and innovative technology and neonatal disposal are yet to be eliminated in entirety in India and alike.
China’s policy on population control introducing one child per couple led to orphanages inundated with female children.
In the Middle East live burial of women for breach of antiquated imposition show no sign of dissipation.
Stoning women as capital punishment is considered prerogative in rural parts of the world.
The women in Afghanistan and Pakistan endure dishonorable honor killings and a woman vying for high profile professions in Afghanistan politics or judiciary viz. supreme court justice instantly disqualified based on gender bias over merit.
Women are denied normal life and forced to undergo genital mutilation upholding archaic procedure in Africa.
Elsewhere different connotations to womanhood are worth mentioning for awareness.
I repeat the explanation I provided earlier that predisposes the opposite gender to male with unique interpretation in English language.
Wo(Man), Wo(Men), Fe(male), S(HE) – the reference to femininity in widely spoken English language generates impression of the species as hermaphrodite.
Nonetheless, the fe(male) leading the male in the lexicon cannot be ignored despite misogynistic practice.
The contention on Same Sex Marriage is related to opinion on marriage confining marriage sanctity to union of man and woman in matrimony as worldwide custom.
The trend deserves review with proper evaluation.
The marriage vows for most remain a ritual and not always fulfilled in a relationship contributing to alarming rise in divorce across the globe.
Notwithstanding pre-nuptial agreement to protect wealth is linked to mistrust and credibility factor in marriage.
The other aspects are infidelity with or without offspring in extramarital affairs and spousal dominance over another emerging as dysfunctional family situation.
The domestic violence cannot be ruled out and growing tensions become the basis for marriage dissolution.
Sometimes the extended family interference to break marriages is not uncommon.
In all these circumstances, the children pay enormous price and bear the brunt of marital disputes transformed into family feud destroying lives extending into next generation.
The marriage institution is distinctive depending on cultural background.
For instance, polygamy and divorce are acceptable in Muslim culture.
In fact those unable to marry involving bigamy due to certain religion or law bindings avail opportunity in Muslim convention through apostasy. The convenience at times allow apostate to betray original and adopted faith.
There is sense of abandonment when women are subject to such customs in marriage.
The acceptance of women as equal is far from genuine in modern age.
To some degree women in different category exacerbate women problems as well with discrimination and indifference.
The woes on children born out of wedlock are significant. They suffer from social and economic setbacks in the absence of nucleus family. The impact is severe with teenage pregnancy.
The details mentioned above essentially describe inviolability or lack thereof in marriage.
In terms of religious opine on same sex issue – the scandals concerning parish boys and children in church are not resolved with secrecy evading transparency.
The gay definition varies in accordance with sparsely obtained data and misconstrued to suit customized view.
As for natural law on the Same Sex topic – the delineation is profound in the prelude to procreation feasible only through male and female consummation.
The idea of marriage in gay community necessitated largely from legality to married status in general life decisions like property will and health matter.
Then there is also symbolic aspect seeking joy of celebration in rites comparable to a birthday event that cannot be claimed as specific segment exclusive right and deprive the rest from experience.
The clamor on Same Sex marriage alongside misgivings on woman’s inherent talent and knowledge confirms ignorance at best and hypocrisy at worst from the clueless clique.
The practitioners patronizing women and contemptuous to different lifestyle orientation in the backdrop of little known vast creations are confronted with social predicament as the world is not meant to be homogenous.
The woman is instrumental in facilitating life from conception to adulthood and relevantly in widespread fad for stem cell cloning the embryo development requires unfertilized egg and female surrogacy to enable birth.
Neglecting female excellence in diverse fields and critical role as a result, the marginalization of women in society is unprecedented and regrettably sustained to societal detriment.
Attempts to suppress reality increasingly expose nature’s indomitable composition refining rhythms appropriate for balancing act.
Civilization progress is a collaborative effort attained with mutual appreciation and gratitude.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

India – Eulogizing Late President APJ Abdul Kalam
July 28, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
India mourns the nuclear scientist and former President APJ Abdul Kalam’s demise.
Presidential post in Indian Parliamentary system is ceremonial limiting the role to presiding over diverse events and cultural affairs besides being a functionary upon Presidential governance in states without government due to electoral disputes or situation leading to emergency rule allowing governor as caretaker reporting developments to the President.
President presumed commander-in-chief of defense forces essentially endorse ruling government policy and consistently follows the powerful executive branch headed by Prime Minister’s office.
The President is elected through Parliamentary process with lower and upper house members’ approval of the incumbent administration nominee.
The former President Abdul Kalam appointment extended the tradition of choosing Muslim candidate to the position joining predecessors in Indian politics. The trend maintained to demonstrate secular India.
Ex-President Abdul Kalam nuclear background was an asset to Indian governments in many respect promoting controversial nuclear energy programs in particular.
The former President Abdul Kalam was a strong advocate for nuclear projects representing the government.
The ex-President was prominently engaged to sway public opinion especially on the citizens contested KudanKulam nuclear plant in Indian southern state, Tamil Nadu facilitating political authorities decision override local residents legitimate concerns on the risks involved in nuclear reactors and site operation in the wake of Fukushima disaster that is far from over.
Thereafter the former President designated in retrofit activities conforming to prevalent custom creating para-phenomenon in the increasingly illusive environment.
Dr. Abdul Kalam service in nuclear field and commitment to government as political member acknowledged amongst diverse faction.
The former President APJ Abdul Kalam retains identity in accordance with respective DNA specific to individuals that cannot be modified to suit indoctrination.
Life is an opportunity to emerge, experience and evolve in original state that verifies authenticity.
Sincere condolences to bereaved family and nation on the former President APJ Abdul Kalam’s departure.
Peace to all!
