Of late, there has been much anger amongst the minorities in India. There also appears to be a concerted effort to instigate this or that community to raise non-existent issues so that the overall intrnal security environment is spoilt.
Why cannot the UPA or for that matter any other government simply appoint proportionate numbers of ministers from the minority communities, say 15 Muslims, three Christians, and two Sikhs over and above those that may already be in the government? The new ministers will be equally efficient, honest, knowledgeable, ignorent, corrupt and patriotic but they will give their respective communities the feeling that some of their representatives are indeed part of the government and working for alleviating their conditions. This in my opinion will be one simple, inexpensive and easy way to win their hearts and minds and reduce avoidable conflict. Merely changing the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sanghatan logo from the Hindu (?) lotus to include a Cross and Crescent will not appease anyone but in fact infuriate even the normally peace loving and quiet Hindu. Woth a try isnt it? Worst that can happen is some more taxpayers' money down the drain but that is a small price to pay for peace!!!

BORDERING ON COWARDICE?
Air Cmde (Retd) RV Phadke
Two recent incidents along India’s borders should have caused serious concern to our security establishment. Immediate action was certainly warranted but nothing happened. It seems the decision makers in the government were, as usual, preoccupied with other pressing issues. The full-blown protests in Jammu and the Srinagar Valley no doubt, appeared as if they had gone completely out of control but the government was conspicuous by its absence. Add to it the fortnight-long floods in Bihar, communal violence in Orissa, (Maoist claim that they killed the VHP leader), the ongoing land agitation at Singur, and the government’s cup of woes is overflowing. Even so can India afford to neglect its security?
Concurrently with the J&K agitation, the Pakistani Army decided to violate the five-year old cease-fire on at least 31 times so far. The sub-plot of one of those was the 17-hour long hostage crisis near Jammu in which seven (?) innocents were killed by the Jihadi terrorists that had succeeded in infiltrating the International Border (IB), mind you, not the LOC. The other less publicized but perhaps more deadly was the report that Indian engineers and construction workers from Bihar had attempted to repair/strengthen the Kosi river dam on the Nepal border way back in April/May this year. They were, however, threatened and chased away by the local Nepali population and hence could not carry out any repairs to or strengthen the dam which finally breached two weeks ago and flooded half of Bihar causing 50 deaths and rendering over 3.5 million, homeless. Going by our past experience the refugees will not be able to go back to their home and hearth for months if not years. Many will run to big towns and cities and add to the woes of the already creaking urban infrastructure. Such things, however, continue to happen with sickening regularity.
Taking the infiltration issue first, Indian authorities have known for years the Pakistani army’s time-tested tactic of providing covering fire to infiltrating Jihadi terrorists. This time the infiltration was across the IB and not the LOC. Pakistan cannot be allowed to harp on the ‘Kashmir is a disputed territory’ line again and again. And yet besides expressing concern the Indian government did nothing. The National Security Advisor Shri Narayanan, in an interview to a TV channel even said that the problem in J&K was not as serious as it was made out to be. I am sure those who lost their near and dear ones and the four children and their mother that lived on a few gulps of water for 17 hours with three terrorists threatening them with a gun would think otherwise. Another TV channel has now released footage of Infrared pictures of some 500 terrorists waiting to cross the IB; the BSF has confirmed that. With this kind of evidence if proof is at all needed, the Indian army and the air force should have promptly razed the subject Pakistani post to the ground and only then opened the DMO Hot Line. Does India need more provocation?
Similarly, the Bihar engineers and workers should have been provided armed protection and the repairs to the Kosi dam carried out in good time. No body can now be expected to buy the lame excuse that the Nepali government was preoccupied with their own problems and hence did not have the time to attend to these ‘minor’ issues. Some years ago China had suddenly released excess water from one of its dams that caused flash floods in the Sutlej and destroyed lives and property in Himachal Pradesh. Then too nothing happened.
What is the need to keep a million-strong army (navy and the air force) if any neighbor can thumb his nose and get away killing innocent Indians? Is this what we mean by ‘zero tolerance’ to terrorism? Is this the way to protect and safeguard the territorial integrity of India, an oath that every government functionary takes?

Jammu & Kashmir- The Never Ending Issue
Two articles, one by Swaminathan Anklesariya Iyer in TOI (Sun 17 Aug) says give the people of Kashmir a choice and let them go if they so desire; another one in IE by Sudheendra Kulkarni laments about how Indian leaders wasted three opportunities to clinch the issue in 1947 Nehru, 1971 Indira Gandhi and in 1988 Rajiv Gandhi. Can we really give the people of the Kashmir valley the choice to secede from India and form an independent entity? Will it be viable? Will not the powerful neighbour China and its henchman Pakistan swallow it sooner than later? Who will guarantee its safety and territorial integrity? Who will defend it? How will a small vulnerable landlocked country survive? Will tourism alone be sufficient to feed its people? What will happen to India's safety and security? Will not its loss make the already strategically important but vulnerable region a play ground for other powers to bring pressure on India through, military, economic and ecological means? How will India ensure that the source of its water in the Himalayas is protected? Since Iyer is essentially talking only about the people of the valley, what happens to Laddakh and Jammu? What happens when Pakistan occupies the Siachin heights and threatens India through Laddakh? While successive Indian governments have no doubt messed up the situation in the J&K for many decades simply giving up the fight is surely not the answer.
Taking the other extreme view, can India really solve the problem simply by deploying more and more troops and police? Yes, India could have forced ZA Bhutto to agree to an honourable solution in 1972 when it held 93000 Pakistani prisoners but can we do it now? Are we in a position to force a military solution on Pakistan? What will be the Chinese role in such a confrontation? Are we strong enough to face a two-front threat now or in the future? What if anything has been achieved by the PM's inactivity? What will BJP achieve by further fuelling the wrath of the people of Jammu? How will they solve it if they were holding the reins at New Delhi? Why has the Central Government failed to convince the people of Jammu and Kashmir that the so called 'forest land' was not transferred but only diverted and that too for a emporary purpose and that there has never been an economic blockade of the Valley?
Why should the Muslims of the valley be so touchy about the ASAB being given a small piece of land for Hindu pilgrims? Finally, isnt there a strong, popular, visionary and wise Muslim leader in India that can convince his people to stop the protests? Arent there any secular Hindu leaders in the UPA that can convince the people of Jammu to drop their protests and not mix other issues such as stepmotherly treatment at the hands of J&K government and the number of their representatives in the J&K Assembly?
If we cannot find a leader young or old can we really complain?

Another Independence Day
Two days ago, another independence day, special for some but not for those who struggle to survive.
The weekly magazine 'The Week' (17 Aug issue, page 34) spoke of cases of starvation in the Bundel Khand area of MP, where due to a five-year long drought people are starving. For a woman with four children, salt and roti once every few days is regular meal and when she gets an onion it is a feast. The visuals confirm the story. What is, however, not explained is the role of the local government. The village, however remote, is still in central India, not too far from a mis-size town like Mahoba, Banda, Jhansi and Chitrakoot. I wonder what the local government machinary is doing? Where is the Zilla Parishad, the Panchayat, the District and Block Development Officers and finally the Collector. Dont they read these reports? Dont they get information from their own subordinates? How is it that the Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme has not touched this area? Why are the local NGOs and other well off people not helping? Will someone ask the MP CM to answer? Does he not think that the Aam Aadmi is his responsibility?
I want to do something about this; at least help a few for a month or two until their health is restored so that they can once again start searching for some employment that will give them some money to eke out a living, but how do I do it? Last but not least, the well known eighty something year old social worker Nanaji Deshmukh runs an ashram in nearby Chitrakoot and is known to have done much work to bring succour to the local people. Where is his organisation? It is difficult to believe that his people dont know the ground reality in his backyard!!

Near Miss
Playing golf at Wellington which is at about 6500 feet AMSL is great fun and the course is challenging both in terms of physical effort because it involves some steep climbs and golf skills. On 14 May 2008, we had finished playing 12 holes and stopped for a cup of tea at the WGC. As usual I lit a cigarette with my tea and soon resumed the game. But something didnt feel alright. I felt my neck muscles and tendons a bit stretched and the chest felt full as if the lungs were inflamed. There was no pain so we continued and finished the remaining four holes, spent some time at the club house and returned home to my friend Harry's lovely house.
Had another shower but the 'odd feeling; remained. My Dr wife checked my BP which was alright and so was the pulse, but had no appettite nor felt sleepy. Finally at about 4:30 PM that is some four hours after the discomfort began, went to the MH and the ECG confirmed that everything was not alright. The Dr called it coronory insufficiency and I was diagnosed as suffering from 'unstable angina'. After spending five days in the ICU with the usual ration of medicines that are invariably given in such situations I was transferred to AF Command Hospital at Bangalore, which we reached at 1430 on Monday 19 May but there being no bed in the ICU I waited at the casualty sitting on a plastic chair for over four hours before I was finally in an ICU bed. All this while I was completely asymptomatic as the discomfort/neck muscle stretch had disappeared the second day at MH Wellington.
I was scheduled for an angiogram the next day. The stern no-non sense type of Nursing Officer asked if I was prepared for the procedure to which I said ,'yes'. But little did I realise that 'prepared' was a euphemism for getting rid of all the body hair as the cathetar is inserted in a vein in the groin. So off I went to the staff bathroom and did as told and after a cold shower came back to the bed. Thank God I am a man. Cannot imagine what women go through routinely depilating whatever areas of their bodies they want. In fact the whole experience is so humiliating. Ugh.
The angiogram is a simple procedure but the room and the apparatus looks intimidating. Within minutes of inserting the cathetar the Dr had announced that the circumflex artery of the heart was totally blocked. Another one was less than 60%' and the rest were normal. The good news was, collateral arteries in fact capillaries had begun supplying blood to the affected area quite efficiently. When it came to putting a stent to open the block, the Dr found that the plaque that was obstructing the circumflex artery was just too hard and so he had to leave it alone. Since the collaterals were so efficient I did not need a bypass and conservative medicine would be enough. The blockage had apparently happened some years ago and I was blissfully unaware of it. The only symptoms were a mild ST wave depression in the ECG/TMT and mild hyper tension for which I was on medication for about four years. I was soon wheeled out and told to take all medicines, pace out my daily routine and walk as much as I could comfortably do, carry a Sorbitrate in case of emergency. Change life style!! But how does one do that at 62? I don't drink nor eat meat, used to smoke four to six cigarettes a day for over 44 years but usually remained resonably active with lots of walking and golf. And thats what saved me I think!! Luckily there was no infarct and hence no damage to the heart. Moral of the story: DO whatever you like but in moderation and avoid smoking. The medicines especially Ecosprin that is given for thinning blood causes GIT upsets, Ramipril bad cough and Clopid, Statin and Metroprozol have their own side effects which one has to live with!! I am trying to find some suitable alternatives though!!
So I am back in circulation in Pune and hope to play as much golf as possible. My Guardian Angel saved me. Finally the day after the episode, I experienced a unique sense of liberation, a feeling of freedom. Been there done that has acquired a new meaning altogether.

Lecture on BBC
Yesterday, that is on 19th Jan, I heard a very interesting lecture on BBC World by J Craig Venter in the Richard Dimbleby series. It was not only thought provoking but also very informative and inspiring. The Doctor, the founder of J Craig Venter Institute that has been doing great work in the area of human genome mapping, said that the current century will be the DNA century and scientists are close to further developing ways of using microbes and synthetic genes to produce bio fuels that will go a long way in meeting the challenges of global warming and environmental concerns. Some may, however, baulk at the idea of using synthetic genes and artificially created microbes for mitigating problems created by us human beings.
Dr. Venter also emphasised prevention rather than cure. He said the scientist must find new ways to use science to prevent disease and other problems than spending huge amounts og money on healthcare. How would the world cope with the estimated 9.5 billion people in the next fifty years?
A lecture well worth watchng. Any views?

Day-To-Day Problems
Like most people I also face some daily problems that need attention and immediate correction.
The biggest one is the ever increasing traffic that is becoming almost impossible to negotiate without losing my cool.
I live on the Eastern end of Pune in Keshav Nagar near Mundhwa a bustling congested village and although our locality is really clean and green, outside it is a different world. The roads are bad, crowded with cyclists, vehicles of all types including dumpers, concrete mixers and JCBs, and above all large herds of buffaloes that take their own time to clear out. The main road joining the Solapur and Ahmed Nagar highways passes close by. Towards Magarpatta a fast burgeoning locality the road is choked with parked taxies and heavy vehicles carrying construction materials and of course the ubiquitous three-wheelers. Towards Kharadi another fast developing area the traffic is equally bad as you get close to Ahmednagar highway. The third way out is to go through Mundhwa village through Ghorpadi which involves negotiating two railway level crossings or through Koregaon Park North Main Road, the entrance to which is blocked for road repairs for almost two months. To add to my woes, the main Solapur highway from Hadapsar to the Race Course sports a so-called BRTS, short for Bus-Rapid-Transit-System, which has reserved the two central lanes, one each way for busses only which means that for long periods of time the two designated lanes are practically empty while all sorts of vehicles and others jostle for space on the two outer narrow lanes that are left for road users other than PMT local buses. If a road roller, bullock cart or a slow tractor decides to enter this melee then it takes up to fifteen minutes or more to cover a kilo meter or so. Everyone around is usually impatient to cross this slow moving traffic jam while two and three wheelers are trying to overtake from both the left and the right side. At night almost all cars and trucks and of course buses speed blazing their headlights on full beam blinding the oncoming traffic, a sure recepie for disaster and road rage. The authorities are not bothered simply because they live in another part of Pune. The least the PMC can do is to force car and other drivers to drive on 'dipped' headlights and post at least two cops at every crossing point. Prohibiting veavy vehicles during say 8AM to 9 PM may also help immensely. The filling point near the Hadapsar police station where scores of water tankers queue up to fill their tankers and the 'weigh bridge' near Noble Hspital on Magarpatta road where numerous trucks turn in and queue up for weighing are two major nuisance areas that daily cause huge traffic jams. I believe it is time we collectively raised our voice to do away with the BRTS that gives priority to buses at the cost of other legitimate road users all of whom have an equal right of passage. I invite residents of these areas to respond with their suggestions and ideas to improve the situation. With regards and safe driving. Please dont lose your cool!!!
