Previous post (Parag Paul's answer to Is Modi really good for India?)1. Clash of Civilizations . Samuel Huntington’s student Francis Fukuyama wrote a book back in the 90s called the ‘End of the History and the Last Man’. Now interestingly, he mentioned that with the end of the USSR, and the end of the cold war, the proliferation of the western liberal democracy will be over.In response to this book and in continuation of his thesis, Samuel Huntington, his teacher, came back with a counter argument. That book as we all know is what we call the ‘Clash of Civilizations’. It is a argument that piggy backs on top of the Jihad vs the McWorld philosophy.Clash of Civilizations - WikipediaThe book states, how in this era, the religious identities and cultural identities will remain as the strongest forces of clashes in the future as with knowledge proliferation and digitization, globalization would have caused stabilization across the nations.Now, here is the future that Modi is building. We have built a strong sense of nationalism that is not only common to India. It is pandemic and almost all nations, even the new ones like USA feel an urge for. I will paste all the examples in the end, where you can see that the neo-nationalism wave that you see in India and get confused, is not only in India. It is in all countries across the world and especially the post globalization wakeup call that has somehow permeated throughout.This clash of civilizations is for realYou will find examples of this in the following in Modi and Xi Xinping’s diplomacy. Two of the most important leaders of the world from a future perspective.Where was Modi taken for a visit, when he was in China, Xi Xinping smartly takes him to a place with a history of 2 millennia.PM Narendra Modi visits Terracotta Warriors Museum at Xi'an, ChinaAnd what is the history of this place. It was the army of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China, that brought the country together in 221 BCQin Shi Huang - WikipediaThe world leaders are always met by Xi Xinping in Beijing. Why did this happen? Think for a while. Why is Modi treated differently ?See what Modi did here in return. There were no deals signed, no treaties discussed in Mahabalipuram. The opposition even went to the trouble of complaining about it. This is a simple clash of civilizations. What these temples, built in 7th century AD tell is that they they are dedicated to a civilizational aspect of India another few millenia old. You are looking at temples that carry the weight of the civilizational strength and identity of India.For a long time, India meant snake charmers to the world. There is a scene in Black Adder, where Rowan Atkinson will vilify his helper servant for his clumsy behavior using the words, “The apes in India have learnt more from the British monarchy”.Until Vivekananda’s speech in Chicago, the nation was still thought of as a land of feudal kings, who learnt a few tokens of civilized behavior during their education in western countries and the nation or population as a whole was culturally still evolving. The last century ended with India’s domination as the tech servicemen but not innovators. We are now in a century, where by manpower and innovation and individual success stories we can show to the world that we can solve global problems like energy and peace.The PM with his brilliant diplomacy is taking that image forward. All the attempts at Swachh Bharat, Fit Bharat are national awakenings. They are targeted towards fixing the national image.While a few detractors will cry foul at the breathing of our PM. When this happened.PM Modi says Indians were ashamed of their country before he assumed office; Twitter outrages, he is not lying.When he said, Indians are ashamed abroad, what he means is the following.‘Whenever we NRI’s see another Indian trying to cheat or haggle in a foreign supermarket, or cheat or abuse the VISA system, cheat the honor based marketplaces’, we are ashamed of not that individual, but the fact that the nation was not able to provide a holistic environment for an individual to not go that route. Whereas, religion or through other means, we were all brought up with the teachings that, “cheating is evil, guests are god, sharing is important”. I know that somewhere those years of teachings takes a backseat, when people enter the market forces, trying to feed their kids, their families and they turn towards normalizing such behavior. And once we develop, these will go away, but are we willing to go through the painful changes ?If one had enough while growing up, at least he or she will refrain from the hogging, haggling, hoarding, and other behaviors that do no conform to the western standards. I have seen kids from developed nations, feel that guilt in their eyes, when they grow up and see kids from underdeveloped nations. I have seen kids in affluence, but ignorance. What good do they know, having more toys than they can ever play. Having facilities for them in every nook and corner of the country. If we can provide for all in a sufficient manner, at least the kids of the nation, we can raise a nation that will learn to share and help each other. But people did not take Modi’s speech with coherent logic. All they wanted was to interpret it in a way that tarnishes image. As if, he said, Indians hate India, when they go abroad. That was indeed bad on the agenda driven media.People had issues with Modi’s Yoga campaign. That again, is clearly and attempt to let the western world know, that the views that they are going for like, Veganism, Fitness obsession were rooted in the ethos of us growing up in our culture, and the world is only now getting in to terms with that.The future is bright, if the message of Modi is put through. But the nations dialogue is severely damaged by liberals and their echo chambers. Clash of Civilizations is what we will see in the 21st century. India and China will become the top 2 countries by 2060 or 2070, but the ultimate winner will be the one with a larger cultural footprint. Our diversity is our biggest strength and this is the time to show it.2. Number One important lesson.Why India lacked in sport persons in other fields other than cricket for a long time? (Why Is India Bad at Sport?) Why do we expect some one from the extreme bottom of the society to come up, fighting dilapidated infrastructure and still show up with a medal in the tallies. Whereas the families that could at least begin to dream, the entire middle class did not dare to dream about sports. We still hail our Hima Das and Mary Kom but ignore the fact that there is a considerable section of the families that will stop their kids from playing, working on their physical fitness. The problem is the same with politics, as my friends say, while my mother used to stop me from playing and it was my father that used to plead not to discuss politics in college. The problem with politics is not when you talk about it, the problem is when you don’t talk about it. How many times has it happened that, while discussing something, a new idea has emerged. This is the rule of nature. While speaking, you are employing your creative and argumentative sphere of the brain. The more you discuss, the more you understand, the more collective and inclusive you become. The PM you have now, Narendra Modi, has introduced changes. Good or bad, he has made the people come out, discuss politics as never before. Every Friend list, every whatsapp group is not discussing narrow issues, but greater agenda. All of them are discussing what and how and when. Each one is educating the other. Divisions are happening between the left and the right. Faultlines are getting exposed. Kids are now able to see for things for their true merits. Educated people are able to clearly visualize how some historians and liberals have hijacked the identity of the nation in the past for their vested interests. Families are arguing. It is a nation that can change. We all know it and now can visualize it. Whether for the good or the bad, will be for time to tell.Here is one video, that I show to all to tell, how difficult it is for people to find the right shoe to fit for their legs, especially athletes. This is for running shoes. Wide feet, your tendons, your bone structure, BMI, your bone strength, cushioning, height, upper body, your endo or ecto morphism.(How Should Running Shoes Fit? | REI Co-op Journal) . How much of a science, sports has become ?How do you expect someone with that kind of technical support, scientific training, and facilities, fail in competition with someone barely having any facilities.Similarly, how do you expect kids who have been street goons for life, think of anything for the greater good of the nation. We still had some sense of proper leadership till the 70’s. Today , you go to any corner in the country, the political posters will spray paint the tree of local hooliganism. The top honcho is typically a contractor, or a builder. The next in line will be the right and left hands of these top guys. The bottom of the poster will be the gully goons. It is a simple picture. These are the people who will land up in the horse trading business. The will not have the interest of the people in their minds. Democracy exists and we have the right to vote them out, but they have nexus in between that people don’t see. Once you are the top, you never make permanent friendships, nor permanent enemies. This is the nature of politics today.And sports is not an element with single dimension.How fitness impacts the global economy, a country’s well being, whether sexual or mental. But we are expecting people without any access to such resources to compete against first world athletes to remarkable exposure to such scientific measures. Similarly, we are asking, backstreet, alley street fighters to make economic policies, fight for the future of the nation, whereas they don’t even have basic scientific understanding of administration, management policies. Administration today is a multi faceted discipline. Not only does the person in command need to have good hold over the history, demographics and history of the nation, his math skills, his ability to negotiate, bargain, constructive criticism, managing meetings, being disciplined, listening to people, keeping up to date with latest technologies, all of these are simply parts of the whole package a good minister or efficient peoples representative needs to have. But what we are allowing, is the mainstreaming of goonism and crony capitalism to be run the nation. We are not asking our middle class to not only think of following their passion, but to push them to make a change in society. As a result, what we have is. Garbage in, Garbage out.3. Now that you have read the abstract thesis, here are the objective analysis. What is the future of a nation with 130 crore people, with diversity and vastness that is unfathomable? There is no uniformity in thinking, no uniformity in cultural ethos. Going to Nagaland is as alien as visiting another South East Asian country. You will feel a cultural shock, studying in rural Tamil Nadu, if you are from Haryana. There is no one single solution that applies to the nation. Modi’s approach has been to stop overthinking and breaking the status quo. The example set, especially in 2019, are massive. We are looking at the following major tectonic changes that has happened this yeara. Going for the killIndian Air force did not enter Pakistani territory even during the Kargil war. Operation Safed Sagar, during the Kargil war was the last time IAF was in action. The first major scale of action by IAF since 1971. Even, then it was along the LOC and not violating the sovereignty of Pakistan.Operation Safed Sagar - WikipediaOver the years, BS Dhanoa, has officially confirmed that their requests to strike Pak was rejected in the past, after 26/11 , We do not have an army like that of Pakistan, where Rawalpindi takes the calls. Our army will not move an inch , until the civilian govt gives the green signal.The ability of a PM to take the calls, whether right or wrong is the first order of business in such situations. What comes next, is beyond the scope of humans. You cannot expect the PM to win the war, but his decisiveness displays the ability to make tough decisions. Objective is to answer in a language that your opponent can understand. This was a major shift in game. We have a ~55B$ budget for defense that cannot exist just for show. This was one such moment. If you are a logical detractor, you will come back with thousands of counter arguments on proof of Balakot strike etc. I don’t ask too many questions. I only ask 1 questionWhy on earth, did Pakistan barricade that area for 2 months?(Pakistan allows media to visit Balakot, tries to prove no lives were lost in Indian airstrike)What could be the reason ? The people in the sub-continent are far more smart than that to figure out what happened. Whether you are a bhakt, a liberal, a humanities student, you cannot simply deny this simple logic. If no damage, I would have shown the proof the very next day.(Govt rejected IAF proposal to strike Pakistan after 26/11: BS Dhanoa | India News - Times of India)(Indian Air Force is in the process of transformation: Air Chief Marshal BS Dhanoa)What I want to say here, is that the nations image is changing. No major nation can live for long without a strong security. International borders do change. Look at Yugoslavia, or USSR, or Crimea, or Congo. So thinking that nothing will happen to your nation, just because, you find the status quo comforting, does not mean, that will not happen to you.We will need to have strong men at the front. No matter what the softspoken, highly literate ( especially Bongs ) friends of your might say. We have to understand that we are dealing with other nations that might not have a mild climate like ours, fertile land like ours, or a great cultural up bringing like ours. These nations are far more fierce in their strategies. All of them plan for centuries in advance. The demographic wars do happen and sheep like us are kept wondering. The Taziks, the Uzbeks, when they attacked India repeatedly, they came with strategic barbarism. Nothing has changed. The modern day warfare has become civilized, only on paper.b. Chief of defence staffCDS is a position of significant importance. During the 1965 war, the Navy acted like an independent unit and did not want to take action during Operation DwarkaOperation Dwarka - Wikipedia (Operation Dwarka - Wikipedia)When you read about it, you will realize, how combined theatre exercises are necessary. You will have to go beyond my posts to realize the importance of this change in status quo. This government made some significant changes to the Defence procurement processes as well, during the time of Manohar Parrikar jee.Defence Ministry planning major changes in defence procurement; seeks to link offsets policy with 'Make in India' (Defence Ministry planning major changes in defence procurement; seeks to link offsets policy with 'Make in India')c. Lateral entry for Civil service to cabinetGone are the days, where the administrative services, could only dream of a secretary level position. We have learned and educated ministers in cabinet levels, who are lateral entries from Civil Services(Ex-Bureaucrats As Ministers: How Modi’s trust in civil servants is growing)The Lal Bahadur Shastri academy of Administrative services in Mussorie, where all civil servants start their careers, has a special energy. Folks who want to serve the nation, beyond just the secretary levels, can now dream of going all the way. S Jaishankar, Hardip Singh Puri and RK Singh, are from the IAS. Ajit Doval is an ex IPS.I simply hope that future governments will allow this to continued. Disinvestment of major Oil companies.(Government approves strategic disinvestment of BPCL, 4 other PSUs)There were provisions made during Emergency during Indira Gandhi’s time, that did not allow disinvestment of these companies. The nationalization was well backed and strongly codified during the emergency. Modi government back in 2016, one lazy afternoon had removed some 1700 laws during one single monsoon session of the Parliament. Those laws being removed was the most important step in allowing disinvestment now. Government has no business in the business of business. It has to be the motto of all governments.e. Article 370Not much to say here. The entire nation accepted it. It has been more than 120 days now, and it sounds like a well thought of action plan.f. Ram MandirEven though, detractors will keep saying that the government did not have anything in this matter. It was the Supreme Court that took all the decisions. We have examples of Rajiv Gandhi government turning back Supreme Court judgement of Shah Bano incident in the past. So you have to realize the importance of having a strong government in the center(Who really influenced Rajiv Gandhi to act against Shah Bano judgment?)See this interview as well. Here Arif Mohammad Khan will explain in detail, how that happened and how he had resigned from the cabinet in protest. One of the best interviews yet.g. Triple TalaqOne thing everybody needs to realize is that All India Muslim Personal Law Board is not an elected body.All India Muslim Personal Law Board - Wikipedia (All India Muslim Personal Law Board - Wikipedia)You will see that it is a private organization. This is the sad part. They might not be representing the voice of muslims in India. Triple Talaq had to be removed and criminalized. I saw Burkha Dutts interview of Arif Mohammad Khan on this. That interview will teach us a lot about the ridiculousness of it all.Similarly, their are other aspects of the religion that are only there to mirror the Arab culture. I even saw one of the CNNs top newsreader, Christina Amapours interview of the Mohammad Bin Salman, where MBS clearly says, that this apparel, the Burqha is a pure cultural aspect of Saudi Arab and has nothing to do with the other nations. But somehow the wannabe Arabs have adopted a things that have no basis for them and is not deeprooted in the religion. We will have to understand importance of this move by government in the context of this century and coming.("I did what I had to do": A Saudi minister was forced to listen to CNN's Christiane Amanpour as she recounted the brutal murder of Jamal Khashoggi)See the full interview and see the parts, where Amanpour had drilled the Sultan on women’s rights.h. Lateral entry into civil servicesDue to a lot of pressures and family situations, a lot of passionate people cannot crack into IAS and civil services early in their lives.Nine from outside the IAS set to become joint secretaries in government (Nine from outside the IAS set to become joint secretaries in government)The current govt is trying its best to bring the best of the best from across the spectrum. These are the changes that will have huge impact for our future.4. Understanding the importance of Protecting our borders For a nation as big as ours any socialist action takes a humongous budget. Where does the budget come from.Direct and indirect taxes.For a nation that is providing some thing as big as the Ayushman Yojana, India needs to have a clear number of heads, that it needs to support. If you are not planning to succeed, you are planning to fail. This has been the approach for so long. We grew up listening about health care in developed countries and how the governments and public provided health facilities were enough for the people. When that is coming to India, we are not willing to take the strong steps necessary to make sure that the accounted head counts are legitimate.Check the National Portal of India (National Portal of India) for a list of such initiativesFor such massive projects, one will need to limit the number of people it can sustain, we cannot be a porous border.Deendayal Scheme for rehabilitation of the disabled . Grameen Awas Yojana (Pradhan Mantri Gramin Awaas Yojana - Wikipedia), Anotdya Yojana(Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Antyodaya Yojana - Wikipedia (Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Antyodaya Yojana - Wikipedia)), Jeevan Jyoti Beema Yojana (Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana - Wikipedia (Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana - Wikipedia))These are benefits that cannot be simply provided to people moving from other nations to ours. We are no longer a nation where the entire nation is in dire conditions. We are moving towards world dominance and these cannot come without policies that strengthen our border.These are high level reports. Ground reports from friends ( I am from Tripura ) is that there were a large number of migrants who were returning back to Bangladesh since the new laws have formed. The fear of detention is a deterrence that does not need to be explained to the ones who already know it.They did a report on it already in BBC Bangladesh. The situation inside Bangladesh and the religious persecution is something, the media says, India should not embarrass Bangladesh with, but if you were to read the case of the bloggers and poets who were hacked to death within meters of the Police Stations in Dhaka, you will realize the depth of their intolerance.I have sisters, who have escaped and moved to Calgary or Montreal and I know the plight second hand. But the liberals in India don’t have time to listen to this. I have heard Arundhati Roys interview by Mehdi Hasan and it was pretty good and she had her facts clear about India, but some how, she has all the information about the neighboring nations all wrong. Bengalis, keep surprising me, with their lack of empathy. They lost an entire nation trying to be empathetic to the the ideology or the view invaders and still keep doing that.5. Rise of nationalism and its future in IndiaThis is a topic very close to my heart. Is it only in India, that all of a sudden in the last 20 years, you see a rise in nationalism? Did the parties like BJP not exist since independence. What triggered their rise?Are we being controlled by such media outlets that have the power to change our outlook and our knowledge and make us nationalists all of a sudden?Here is the thing, do you read global media or only the national and local news. Since if you do not, we have a lot of hints lying across the world in this regard.Lets look at Europe:(The right-wing nationalists shaking up Europe)This is the latest report from Europe.Same with America(Imagining Post-Trump Nationalism)Let’s look at report on South East Asia. Here is a thing about South Asia. It is a Indianized zone from top to bottom.When Saif Ali Khan recently mentioned that the idea of India is new. When leftist historians mention that the surge of Hinduism is a new thing and this identity is all being created to fight the world dominance of Abrahamic religions, it real hurts a singular nerve in us.NS Essay - How the British invented Hinduism (NS Essay - How the British invented Hinduism)When you travel the length and breadth of the nation. You will find string of uniformity all across the nation. Durga Puja is celebrated across the land in different forms, whichever directions you go. Vedas are called Veda’s whether in Gujarat or in Assam, in Tamil Nadu. Did you know that Gandhari, from Mahabharata was actually, from modern day Kandahar. Rukmini was from Arunachal Pradesh. ( Rukamani was one of 8 wives of Krishna ). Ghatotkach was the king of Nagaland. Chitrangada was from modern day Manipur.Kedarnath’s chief priest is from the Lingayat clan from Karnataka. Ras Leela is called Dandiya in Guajarat. Bodo’s in Assam are called descendants of Brahma.Burma is a country, which was called Brahma desh , Malaysia is a Sanksrit name, same with Singapore ( Singha Pur ). Thailand has a city called Ayuthuya. ( Ayodha ) . Laos and Vietnam have words from Pali and Sanskrit througout. Maldives is Mal dwip. From Pushkar, to Jorhat. From Rameswharam to Martand temple in Kashmir, it is all a single thread. From Nani ki temple in Balochistan, to Kamakhya in Guwahati. We are all one.Hinglaj Mata mandir - WikipediaImagine, deep inside, Baloch territory, this mandir exists.Garuda is the Indonesian Arilines. Garuda, was a mythical bird, part of Hindu, Buddhist and Jain mythology.(Garuda Indonesia - Wikipedia)Bali is an island. Remember, Bali and Sugriv from Ramayana. Sharada University was the biggest Hindu University in modern than Gilgit and Balatistan. Lahore is named after the name of Luv ( Ram’s son ).During Kumbh, when the illiterate sadhus take the dip in the Ganges, they take the name of all the rivers of India. The concept of India is far bigger than one or two historians can distort.Read this to understand rise of nationalism in South East Asia.How Did Nationalism Arise In Southeast Asia History Essay (How Did Nationalism Arise In Southeast Asia History Essay)My summary on this is, that the rise of nationalism is not isolated to India. With the proliferation of the net and digitization of records, the seeking soul in India, can now easily find access to documentation, books, and read and see youtube videos to quench his or her curiosity. We ware no longer tied to the NCERT syllabus or the paid propaganda that propagates Wendy Donniger, or Romila Thapar, Irfan Habib or Bipan Chandra. On the other hand, try reading Jadunath Sarkar, one of the best historians of all time, to understand the dichotomy and bias.We can now find documentation that is not politically correct. We read history from the excerpts of various intellectuals.Take it from me, read something that a Bengali leftist sends you, and you will hate India. Read something that a Bengali like me sends, you will get a well rounded answer.Thanks for reading. I don’t have time to go deep into some other things which are significant and part of the nation building. But that is for some other time.A quick thingDuring the rise of Congress (I), ( the one faction that Indira Gandhi broke out of the mother party after the death of her father Jawaharlal Nehru ), the left parties in India gave her external support. In reward, they asked for voting rights, administrative positions of repute institutions in India. That was the root cause of all the changes to course work and syllabuses in India. There was a small coterie of people who then started handling the narrative of India. All promotions in reputed institutions, all seats of power that can be the stamping authority on the history of India, were then hijacked by these handful of leftist intellectuals. With the new age of digital connectivity, a large number of documentation henceforth unseen, have suddenly become available. A lot of genocides, have been written off, a modified version of our past has been taught to us in our schools throughout. Our brains have become untrustful of new information and it will need some time to stabilize. But this new power of information is for the good of the nation. Leftism will see small surges, and will always be a placeholder, for the likeminded individuals. They should be allowed to hold their own echo chambers, discussions but never again, shall we allow them to capture our nations narrative.During the Mangalore Literary Festival 2016, an ex student of St Stephens, New Delhi, mentioned that she had to resort to leftist propaganda and to toe their line, in order to get any sort of cognizance in the elitist groups.Post the breakdown of USSR, there is no leftist that fights from the masses. They are not for the proletariat, but an elitist group that tries to get rid of any sort of nationalism and identity. This is what we have to fight. Please share accordingly, with people who can make sense of it. Not, to the people who cry foul for superfluous reasons.

But people did not take Modi’s speech with coherent logic. All they wanted was to interpret it in a way that tarnishes image. As if, he said, Indians hate India, when they go abroad.

Today , you go to any corner in the country, the political posters will spray paint the tree of local hooliganism. The top honcho is typically a contractor, or a builder. The next in line will be the right and left hands of these top guys. The bottom of the poster will be the gully goons. It is a simple picture. These are the people who will land up in the horse trading business. The will not have the interest of the people in their minds. Democracy exists and we have the right to vote them out, but they have nexus in between that people don’t see. Once you are the top, you never make permanent friendships, nor permanent enemies. This is the nature of politics today.And sports is not an element with single dimension.How fitness impacts the global economy, a country’s well being, whether sexual or mental. But we are expecting people without any access to such resources to compete against first world athletes to remarkable exposure to such scientific measures. Similarly, we are asking, backstreet, alley street fighters to make economic policies, fight for the future of the nation, whereas they don’t even have basic scientific understanding of administration, management policies. Garbage in, Garbage out.3. Now that you have read the abstract thesis, here are the objective analysis. What is the future of a nation with 130 crore people, with diversity and vastness that is unfathomable? There is no uniformity in thinking, no uniformity in cultural ethos. Going to Nagaland is as alien as visiting another South East Asian country. You will feel a cultural shock, studying in rural Tamil Nadu, if you are from Haryana. There is no one single solution that applies to the nation. Modi’s approach has been to stop overthinking and breaking the status quo. The example set, especially in 2019, are massive. We are looking at the following major tectonic changes that has happened this yeara. Going for the kill.Indian Air force did not enter Pakistani territory even during the Kargil war. Operation Safed Sagar, during the Kargil war was the last time IAF was in action. The first major scale of action by IAF since 1971. Even, then it was along the LOC and not violating the sovereignty of Pakistan.Operation Safed Sagar - WikipediaOver the years, BS Dhanoa, has officially confirmed that their requests to strike Pak was rejected in the past, after 26/11 , We do not have an army like that of Pakistan, where Rawalpindi takes the calls. Our army will not move an inch , until the civilian govt gives the green signal.The ability of a PM to take the calls, whether right or wrong is the first order of business in such situations. What comes next, is beyond the scope of humans. You cannot expect the PM to win the war, but his decisiveness displays the ability to make tough decisions. Objective is to answer in a language that your opponent can understand. This was a major shift in game. We have a ~55B$ budget for defense that cannot exist just for show. This was one such moment. If you are a logical detractor, you will come back with thousands of counter arguments on proof of Balakot strike etc. I don’t ask too many questions. I only ask 1 questionWhy on earth, did Pakistan barricade that area for 2 months?Pakistan allows media to visit Balakot, tries to prove no lives were lost in Indian airstrikeWhat could be the reason ? The people in the sub-continent are far more smart than that to figure out what happened. Whether you are a bhakt, a liberal, a humanities student, you cannot simply deny this simple logic. If no damage, I would have shown the proof the very next day.Govt rejected IAF proposal to strike Pakistan after 26/11: BS Dhanoa | India News - Times of IndiaIndian Air Force is in the process of transformation: Air Chief Marshal BS DhanoaWhat I want to say here, is that the nations image is changing. No major nation can live for long without a strong security. International borders do change. Look at Yugoslavia, or USSR, or Crimea, or Congo. So thinking that nothing will happen to your nation, just because, you find the status quo comforting, does not mean, that will not happen to you.We will need have strong men at the front. No matter what the softspoken, highly literate ( especially Bongs ) friends of your might say. We have to understand that we are dealing with other nations that might not have a mild climate like ours, fertile land like ours, or a great cultural up bringing like ours. These nations are far more fierce in their strategies. All of them plan for centuries in advance. The demographic wars do happen and sheep like us are kept wondering.b. Chief of defence staffCDS is a position of significant importance. During the 1965 war, the Navy acted like an independent unit and did not want to take action during Operation DwarkaOperation Dwarka - WikipediaWhen you read about it, you will realize, how combined theatre exercises are necessary. You will have to go beyond my posts to realize the importance of this change in status quo. This government made some significant changes to the Defence procurement processes as well, during the time of Manohar Parrikar jee.Defence Ministry planning major changes in defence procurement; seeks to link offsets policy with 'Make in India'c. Lateral entry for Civil service to cabinetGone are the days, where the administrative services, could only dream of a secretary level position. We have learned and educated ministers in cabinet levels, who are lateral entries from Civil ServicesEx-Bureaucrats As Ministers: How Modi’s trust in civil servants is growingThe Lal Bahadur Shastri academy of Administrative services in Mussorie, where all civil servants start their careers, has a special energy. Folks who want to serve the nation, beyond just the secretary levels, can now dream of going all the way. S Jaishankar, Hardip Singh Puri and RK Singh, are from the IAS. Ajit Doval is an ex IPS.I simply hope that future governments will allow this to continued. Disinvestment of major Oil companies.Government approves strategic disinvestment of BPCL, 4 other PSUsThere were provisions made during Emergency during Indira Gandhi’s time, that did not allow disinvestment of these companies. The nationalization was well backed and strongly codified during the emergency. Modi government back in 2016, one lazy afternoon had removed some 1700 laws during one single monsoon session of the Parliament. Those laws being removed was the most important step in allowing disinvestment now. Government has no business in the business of business. It has to be the motto of all governments.e. Article 370Not much to say here. The entire nation accepted it. It has been more than 120 days now, and it sounds like a well thought of action plan.f. Ram MandirEven though, detractors will keep saying that the government did not have anything in this matter. It was the Supreme Court that took all the decisions. We have examples of Rajiv Gandhi government turning back Supreme Court judgement of Shah Bano incident in the past. So you have to realize the importance of having a strong government in the centerWho really influenced Rajiv Gandhi to act against Shah Bano judgment?g. Triple Talaq.One thing everybody needs to realize is that All India Muslim Personal Law Board is not an elected body.All India Muslim Personal Law Board - WikipediaYou will see that it is a private organization. This is the sad part. They might not be representing the voice of muslims in India. Triple Talaq had to be removed and criminalized. I saw Burkha Dutts interview of Arif Mohammad Khan on this. That interview will teach us a lot about the ridiculousness of it all. I even saw one of the CNNs top newsreader, Christina Amapours interview of the Mohammad Bin Salman, where MBS clearly says, that this apparel, the Burqha is a pure cultural aspect of Saudi Arab and has nothing to do with the other nations. But somehow the wannabe Arabs have adopted a things that have no basis for them and is not deeprooted in the religion. We will have to understand importance of this move by government in the context of this century and coming."I did what I had to do": A Saudi minister was forced to listen to CNN's Christiane Amanpour as she recounted the brutal murder of Jamal KhashoggiSee the full interview and see the parts, where Amanpour had drilled the Sultan on women’s rights.h. Lateral entry into civil servicesDue to a lot of pressures and family situations, a lot of passionate people cannot crack into IAS and civil services early in their lives.Nine from outside the IAS set to become joint secretaries in governmentThe current govt is trying its best to bring the best of the best from across the spectrum. These are the changes that will have huge impact for our future.4. Understanding the importance of Protecting our borders. For a nation as big as ours any socialist action takes a humongous budget. Where does the budget come from. Direct and indirect taxes.For a nation that is providing some thing as big as the Ayushman Yojana, Check the National Portal of India for a list of such initiativesFor such massive projects, one will need to limit the number of people it can sustain, we cannot be a porous border.Deendayal Scheme for rehabilitation of the disabled . Grameen Awas Yojana, Anotdya Yojana(Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Antyodaya Yojana - Wikipedia), Jeevan Jyoti Beema Yojana (Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana - Wikipedia)These are benefits that cannot be simply provided to people moving from other nations to ours. We are no longer a nation where the entire nation is in dire conditions. We are moving towards world dominance and these cannot come without policies that strengthen our border.These are high level reports. Ground reports from friends ( I am from Tripura ) is that there were a large number of migrants who were returning back to Bangladesh since the new laws have formed. The fear of detention is a deterrence that does not need to be explained to the ones who already know it.BBC did a report on it already in BBC Bangladesh. The situation inside Bangladesh and the religious persecution is something, the media says, India should not embarrass Bangladesh with, but if you were to read the case of the bloggers and poets who were hacked to death within meters of the Police Stations in Dhaka, you will realize the depth of their intolerance.I have sisters, who have escaped and moved to Calgary or Montreal and I know the plight second hand. But the liberals in India don’t have time to listen to this. I have heard Arundhati Roys interview by Mehdi Hasan and it was pretty good and she had her facts clear about India, but some how, she has all the information about the neighboring nations all wrong. Bengalis, keep surprising me, with their lack of empathy. They lost an entire nation trying to be empathetic to the the ideology or the view invaders and still keep doing that.5. Rise of nationalism and its future in IndiaThis is a topic very close to my heart. Is it only in India, that all of a sudden in the last 20 years, you see a rise in nationalism? Did the parties like BJP not exist since independence. What triggered their rise?Are we being controlled by such media outlets that have the power to change our outlook and our knowledge and make us nationalists all of a sudden?Here is the thing, do you read global media or only the national and local news. Since if you do not, we have a lot of hints lying across the world in this regard.Lets look at Europe:The right-wing nationalists shaking up EuropeThis is the latest report from Europe.Same with AmericaImagining Post-Trump NationalismLet’s look at report on South East Asia. Here is a thing about South Asia. It is a Indianized zone from top to bottom.When Saif Ali Khan recently mentioned that the idea of India is new. When leftist historians mention that the surge of Hinduism is a new thing and this identity is all being created to fight the world dominance of Abrahamic religions, it real hurts a singular nerve in us.NS Essay - How the British invented HinduismWhen you travel the length and breadth of the nation. You will find string of uniformity all across the nation. Durga Puja is celebrated across the land in different forms, whichever directions you go. Vedas are called Veda’s whether in Gujarat or in Assam, in Tamil Nadu. Did you know that Gandhari, from Mahabharata was actually, from modern day Kandahar. Rukmini was from Arunachal Pradesh. ( Rukamani was one of 8 wives of Krishna ). Ghatotkach was the king of Nagaland. Chitrangada was from modern day Manipur.Kedarnath’s chief priest is from the Lingayat clan from Karnataka. Ras Leela is called Dandiya in Guajarat. Bodo’s in Assam are called descendants of Brahma.Burma is a country, which was called Brahma desh , Malaysia is a Sanksrit name, same with Singapore ( Singha Pur ). Thailand has a city called Ayuthuya. ( Ayodha ) .Garuda is the Indonesian Arilines.Garuda Indonesia - WikipediaBali is an island. Remember, Bali and Sugriv from Ramayana. Sharada University was the biggest Hindu University in modern than Gilgit and Balatistan. Lahore is named after the name of Luv ( Ram’s son ).During Kumbh, when the illiterate sadhus take the dip in the Ganges, they take the name of all the rivers of India. The concept of India is far bigger than one or two historians can distort.Read this to understand rise of nationalism in South East Asia.How Did Nationalism Arise In Southeast Asia History EssayMy summary on this is, that the rise of nationalism is not isolated to India. With the proliferation of the net and digitization of records, the seeking soul in India, can now easily find access to documentation, books, and read and see youtube videos to quench his or her curiosity. We ware no longer tied to the NCERT syllabus or the paid propaganda that propagates Wendy Donniger, or Romila Thapar, or Bipan Chandra. We can now find documentation that is not politically correct. We read history from the excerpts of various intellectuals.Take it from me, read something that a Bengali leftist sends you, and you will hate India. Read something that a Bengali like me sends, you will get a well rounded answer.Thanks for reading. I don’t have time to go deep into some other things which are significant and part of the nation building. But that is for some other time.A quick thing:During the rise of Cogress (I), ( the one faction that Indira Gandhi broke out of the mother party after the death of her father Jawaharlal Nehru ), the left parties in India gave her external support. In reward, they asked for voting rights, administrative positions of repute institutions in India. That was the root cause of all the changes to course work and syllabuses in India.During the Mangalore Literary Festival 2016, an ex student of St Stephens, mentioned that she had to resort to leftist propaganda and to toe their line, in order to get any sort of cognizance in the elitist groups.Post the breakdown of USSR, there is no leftist that fights from the masses. They are not for the proletariat, but an elitist group that tries to get rid of any sort of nationalism and identity. This is what we have to fight.

The are four steps to becoming a spy for RAWGet RealisticMeet the Basic and Advanced CriteriaApplyGo through vettingBasic requirements to become a spyDon’t get in trouble with the law. Any criminal record is likely to end your application.Don’t do drugs. Drug tests are often given to applicants. Drug addiction is not tolerated.Go to university. Most intelligence organisations including R&AW expect their officers to have a good education.Be ready to travel. Most spies have to travel to foreign countries. There are roles without travel but you will limit your chances.Be a citizen. You must be a citizen of your country and so must the rest of your close family.So those are the basic criteria. But getting a job in intelligence is very competitive. So you need to do more to stand out. Here’s a few suggestions:Advanced CriteriaLearn a foreign language Preferably the language of your country’s enemies. Even better, learn a relatively obscure language – you will have less competition.Do some sport. Being fit won't do any harm, and it looks good on your CV.Don’t tell your friends you’re applying. Spying is about being discreet. If you can't keep your friends unaware, then you aren't going to make it.Show you can work long hours. Get a job that demonstrates your discipline and commitment. Being a spy is not a 9-5 job. Often a case really is a matter of life and death and you won't be able to go home until it is resolved.Show leadership. Military service might be an advantage here or some other leadership position.Don't hide anything. If you dabbled with drugs once or have a minor conviction they will find out, and if you try to hide it they will think you’re unreliable and untrustworthy.Keep out of debt. Some debt is OK, but don't show any sign of financial irresponsibility, you could be vulnerable to pressure or bribery.ApplyThe Research and Analysis Wing doesn't have a website, so it’s harder to apply to become a spy for them. However, jobs advertised as Deputy Field Officer, Cabinet Secretariat, Government of India are thought to be recruiting for R&AW.Otherwise entrance through the National Academy of Administration may be possible.VettingThe application process for an intelligence officer position is much like that for any job, with rounds of interviews and tests. There is though one big difference: extensive checks into your character, reliability and judgement. Some intelligence organisations call this a background check, others call it positive vetting, national security vetting or developed vetting.What is vetting?Vetting builds a complete a picture of you to make sure you won’t be a security risk. This to make sure that nothing in your life will make you vulnerable to bribery or blackmail. You will have to show and give evidence of your:Family backgroundDrug use and any other addictions (e.g. gambling)Mental healthFinancesPolitical viewsTravel to foreign countriesRead more - https://www.quora.com/How-can-I-join-Indias-intelligence-agency-RAW/answer/Graeme-ShimminRecruitment in RAW -Initially, R&AW had primarily trained intelligence officers who were recruited directly. These belonged to the external wing of the Intelligence Bureau. Then came a time when they needed to expand their family, at that time many candidates were taken from the military, police and the Indian Revenue Service. Later, R&AW began directly recruiting graduates from universities. However owing to allegations of nepotism in appointments, in 1983 R&AW created its own service cadre, the Research and Analysis Service (RAS) to absorb talent from other Group A Civil Services, under the Central Staffing Scheme.Direct recruitment at Class I executive level is from Civil services officers undergoing Foundation course at Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration. At the end of the course, R&AW conducts a campus interview.Based on a selection of psychological tests and the interview, candidates are inducted into R&AW for a lien period of one year. During this period, they have an option of rejoining their parent service (if they wish to) after which they can be permanently absorbed into the Research and Analysis Service.
