ATIONAL security is one of the biggest issues of governance. If the security of a nation is lax, the havoc
that could be created is unimaginable. So, when a
nation elects any Prime Minister, a paramount concern is, can the leader provide security. Post the surgical strikes, Indians are worried; what will happen
if there is an India-Pakistan war? I want to clear the mist that India will in no
way choose a roadmap that leads to war, though minor surgical operations will
keep on hammering Pakistan. India is very much safe and secure, thanks to our
brave soldiers and military leadership. If we observe, Pakistans Prime Minister
Nawaz Sharif is under pressure from the military, the military from Islamic
forces, and both are under threat from terrorists. Terrorists are pawns of international forces which use them for their social, political and economic ends within
the territory and outside. Pakistan is riding just on its geographical location,
its military, population and a nuclear bomb. So, the territory of Pakistan is a
chaotic no mans land. The government in Pakistan is basically a facade created
by forces which want to control Pakistan by proxy to put down India, which is
on the road of development. What options does India have? Does India want
to capture a rogue nation with a terrorist factory and a nuclear bomb controlled
by a fatigued military? The answer is no. So, what is the purpose of surgical
strikes? Before the Uri attack, Kashmir was already boiling. The Uri attack only
fuelled the fire. In India, people were clamoring for action against Pakistan via
social media, Twitter, Facebook and other platforms. People dug out the video of
Modis election campaign, where he said that to fight with Pakistan one should
have a 56-inch chest. Politically, the message was going down the line that
Modi did not have the guts to take action against Pakistan despite his claims
during the general election. Modis political graph was going down.
Goa, Manipur, Punjab, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh assembly elections
are due in the first half of 2017. The ruling political dispensation cannot ask
the people for vote in such a hostile atmosphere. The common man does not
know the complexities of war or dynamics of international diplomacy. They just
wanted action against Pakistan. Modi realised the pulse and hence, the surgical
strikes. Modi is now being praised by everybody. The surgical operation by the
military has, however, opened a Pandoras box. MG Devasahayam writes, India
generally has three optionsconventional, sub-conventional and nuclear. Allout nuclear war is out of question. Sub-conventional warfare involves stealth
attacks and guerrilla tactics, similar to the Armys surgical strikes. The third
option is conventional warfare. Notwithstanding the importance of regional,
strategic and political considerations and all that is lost in the rhetoric, the truth
is India is not economically prepared to wage war in this manner.
War is never a willful option. War is most of the times imposed on a nation, as
is being instigated by Pakistan against India. The survival of Pakistans political
leadership is based on India bashing. It has to be seen if Pakistan has the will
power and resources to open a full-fledged war with India. In all probability,
the answer is no. Modi has to move fast to convince those forces who are the
perpetrators of war and use a nation as a proxy that war is not a solution. It is a
game. Modi knows the dynamics of the game well. He has to come out from the
messy and dangerous game to take India to new economic heights, for which
he has himself laid down the parameters, and say goodbye to the warmongers.

Rafale Deal
who is benefitting?
T took 15 years to discuss the deal with Dassault Rafale. Then, overnight,
India concluded an Inter-Governmental Agreement (IGA) with France for
the purchase of 36 Rafale fighter jets at a cost of 7.87 billion, the first
fighter aircraft deal since the purchase of Sukhois from Russia in the late
1990s. Government sources claim that there is no question of any middleman
or a broker. History indicates whenever the deals are investigated, there were
brokers and middleman in every defence deal. One has to study the context
in which such deals are clinched. The Rafale deal was finalised just after the
Uri attack. After the 26/11 attack on Mumbai, billions of dollars of search
and surveillance equipment was purchased by both business houses and
government. Nowadays, there is more finesse and it is impossible to
pinpoint the brokers. If we turn to the gfiles archives, it carried a cover
story in March 2012 titled, Indias gift to Sarkozy (http://www.gfilesindia.
com/Contents/pdfMagazine/Mar2012/Default.html) The story carried a
box in which gfiles stated, It is significant that hard on the heels of the signing of the agreement between RIL
(Reliance Industries Limited) and Dassault Aviation, an RIL spokesman said the objective of the MoU is to identify
areas where both the companies can work together in the defence sector. The RIL spokesperson said that while there
has been no commitment on any kind of investment or joint venture, teams from both the companies will sit together
to chalk out strategic opportunities. The outcome will depend on the talks and only after the final agreement between
Dassault and the Government is signed for the MMRCA, he said, refusing to divulge details on who will lead
negotiations from the RIL side. The government has now signed the Rafale deal!

HE government explained to
foreign diplomats that even
before the Uri attacks, the
government had brought to Pakistans
notice the increasing number of
infiltration attempts across the LoC,
counting at least 19 attempts and
several planned attacks in the past
two months. Each time we were met
with condescension and denial, an
official is believed to have said at one
of the several briefings.
In the week after the Uri attack,
the Foreign Secretary had called in
Pakistan High Commissioner Abdul
Basit twice. On both occasions, India
had offered fingerprints and other
details of the attackers so Pakistan
could try and identify them. However,
the offer was met with no reply.
When asked about the threat of
sparking a full-fledged conflict with
Pakistan, the official is believed to
have said, Fear of escalation cannot
be a reason for passively accepting
acts of violence. But, he added
that India had no desire to conduct
further operations.

The cost of
warmongering
Despite the cacophony on reforms, Indias basic governance and
administration is at its nadir and national security forms part of this. India
does not even have a national security architecture
Based on very credible and specific
information which we received
yesterday that some terrorist teams
had positioned themselves at launch
pads along the Line of Control with
an aim to carry out infiltration and
terrorist strikes in Jammu &
Kashmir and in various other
metros in our country, the Indian
army conducted surgical strikes last
night at these launch pads.

foreign sources is approximately
70:30 for the army, 50:50 for the navy
and 35:65 for the air force. Since
armys artillery and ammunition
needs are exclusively met by ordinance factories (OFs), it is overdependent on domestic acquisition.
This has made the army very vulnerable in terms of its war wastage
reserves (WWR).
As per the armys operational doctrine, India is required to maintain a
WWR of 40 days of intense war [war
(I)]. After the Kargil war of 1999,
army headquarters introduced a new
target of Minimum Accepted Risk
Level (MARL), which was set at 20
war (I). The findings of a CAG
report show that the armys current
WWR stands at a critical low of 10 war
(I), or even less, as of March 2013. As
per data in the report, of the 48
ammunition categories audited by
CAG, it was found that OFs were unable to meet their production targets
across 52 per cent of the product categories. Of this 52 per cent, in 23 per
cent of the product categories, the
shortfall was well over 50 per cent.

and her advisers as well as her direction of policy, whereas the US could
do very little and also India did not
quite interest them in that decade of
dtente as much as it had during
1962-63 when cold war was at its
peak. In talks with Kissinger, the MEA
file informs us, the Emergency was
explained by Indian officials as aimed
at extra constitutional challenge by a
motley group of reactionary elements
belonging to extreme left and right,
including communal and sectarian
elements. The State Department officials even acknowledged that economic growth had been good even
after the announcement of Emergency.
Records also tell us of meeting
between PMs special envoy DP Dhar
and Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko
at Moscow on February 10, 1975.
Here, Dhar spoke of Indias internal
politics wherein neo-fascist and
reactionary groups were taking political advantage of the economic situation. Dhar added that all right-wing
strands had joined the JP movement.
He also said the PM was confident
about the elections, which were to be
held in a years time.
Another MEA file brief reveals
discussions between Kewal Singh and
Firyubin on November 25. According
to the brief, the Soviets were told that
Emergency
had
reinvigorated
national discipline, enthusiasm and
devotion to duty. It had also discredited and exposed the extreme right
and extreme left. Singh described
emergency as a very courageous
decision by the Prime Minister.
Firyubin conveyed whole-hearted
support to the Indian government
saying, the real meaning of democracy means that government should
work for the interest of the people
that kind of democracy was real
democracy. Firyubin described the
Jana Sangh as a fascist group. g

UT politics changes fast. The tide turned. The highflying Advani was suddenly in a trauma after his
name figured in the scandalous Jain Diary, as one
of the leaders involved. It was a trauma not only for Advani,
who suddenly decided to quit the Lok Sabha and not return
till he had been cleared of the charge, but even more for the
BJP. It did not know which way to look.
Had it not been for the hawala charge, which of course
was eventually dropped, Advani and not Vajpayee would
have been the Sangh Parivars choice to head the shortlived government at the Centre. But then there were those
who said that it was precisely because of the foreknowledge that the government could not last that the BJP hardliners allowed Vajpayee to be the Prime Minister. He was
their fall guy. g

master their jatharagnis and chitagnis in order to become pure bhutagnis. Such people would always maintain their own personal fire, or adhuni. The yogis would use the dhuni to
slowly develop a relationship with
the fire element, which could then
enhance their receptivity. It would
help them to cast out the grossness
of the physical body and draw in the
subtlety of another dimension.
Beyond these three fires, is sarvagni. It touches that dimension where
there are no elements or physical
creation whatsoever. The physical
dimension of existence comprises
less than 5 per cent of the whole. The
rest is unmanifest, referred to as dark
energy in modern terminology. This
is a very cool fire, but the ultimate
fire which holds all other fires within
itself. Unlike the digestive fire which
is a very obvious fire, chitagni is more
subtle, and bhutagni more subtle still.
The sarvagni almost feels absent, but
it is fundamental. Without it, nothing
would happen. Sarvagni is everywhere; if you just become available to
it, the entire universe pervades you. g
Sadhguru, a yogi, is a visionary, humanitarian and a prominent spiritual leader

he National
Institution for
Transforming
India, NITI Aayog,
is gearing up for
imparting training
to IAS officers
about its purpose
as even young IAS officers are not taking the NITI
Aayog seriously. As many as, 37 of them were
found missing in a session with NITI Aayog
member and economist Bibek Debroy last month.
The absentees were asked to show-cause but the
DoPT did not want to take any more chances for a
session addressed by NITI Aayog Vice-Chairman
Arvind Panagariya. In an unusual office
memorandum dated September 12, the DoPT
asked assistant secretaries posted in various
Central government ministries and departments
that they have to attend the aforesaid function
without fail. Not just that, they were asked to be
present in the function on time, again
highlighting the words on time in bold letters
to draw their attention. In fact, the Cabinet
Secretariat too swung into action as it postponed a
pre-scheduled meeting fixed between 2014 officers
attached to the Ministries of Commerce, DIPP,
MSME and Labour and Cabinet Secretary PK
Sinha, so as to facilitate the participation of the
young officers in Panagariya session. The topic of
the session was Indian economy wherefrom and
whereto. In fact, the session with Debroy, in
which many were absent, was held on September 9
so as to assist the officers, all belonging to the 2014
batch, to get insights into the socio-economic and
developmental challenges facing the nation, and
strategic policy framework thereof. The officers
have begun their three-month-period as assistant
secretaries with effect from August 1, 2016. While
appointing the officers as assistant secretary, DoPT
in an office memorandum dated June 5, 2016 said
that they were not allowed to go on leave during
this three-month period. g
