PREFACE

This year world over there will be many events organized, many research papers will be written and many books will be published to mark the 2014 as the centenary of the first world war. Even Royal ShakespeareCompany is staging a new play in United Kingdom. Incidentally 2014 also is the 70 th anniversary of SecondWorld War. The Cold war started in the year 1947 when India got its independence from Great Britain andCold war ended in the year 1991 when India liberalized her economy from the shackles of Socialistic economy.

Modern wars will be fought with nonconventional weapons or hardware. Earlier wars did use thesenonconventional weapons through CIA and KGB. After Cold war KGB did not exist, but CIA operates withoutany global checks and balances. Earlier India was a battleground for both, but after the Cold war CIA remainedunopposed player. Operations and manipulations of CIA and KGB are well documented and we should notwaste our ink in repeating those stories.

The tragedy is that we have not learnt any lessons from these overt and covert war designs. From Kashmir toKerala there are separatist organizations operating without any hindrance. We are spending sizable monetaryand human resources on internal security. Recent events have exposed our military preparedness. Macro andmicro level corruption in every walk of our life is not only frustrating and painful but a guaranteed weapon toeconomic disaster in the hands of those who want India perpetually economically weak and dependent. All'right' movements from environment to women are also used as weapons by NGOs to stall almost alldevelopmental activities in India. It is no wonder that such NGOs are showered with foreign funding havingclose links with Church or CIA. How are we going to change this?

We are a democratic country. Responsible political parties should choose educated candidates with impeccablerecord. If they fail you have right to choose a 'clean' candidate or use 'none of above' option if available.

NT Ravindranath is a retired Intelligence Bureau (IB) officer. He is also a serious researcher. His analysis and predictions in his earlier book India Under Siege: A Wake up Call are proving prophetically true. So hisanalysis of present condition of India in this research paper will have to be taken very seriously. His message isclear and loud. I hope readers would take it seriously.

Introduction:

India is facing the gravest ever crisis today since independence, because of an imminent threat to its verysurvival as a sovereign nation. This threat has come in the form of a vast network of activist NGOs and humanrights organizations, now known as civil society groups, supported, funded and controlled by some westernintelligence and church agencies, with the ultimate aim of balkanization of India. Many of these organizationswhich were first established in India as charity organizations, later changed their colour and started showingtheir fangs by supporting various militant and secessionist movements in the country. The NGO activism got a

big boost in the early 1970s with the patronage it received from Sonia Gandhi who came to India in 1968 as theItalian bahu of Indira Gandhi. Many militant peoples movements like Narmada Bachao Andolan and KastakariSanghatana were started in the mid-1970s and the take over of the Maoist movement by the action group NGOsalso took place during this period.

With Rajiv Gandhi becoming the Prime Minister of India in 1984, there was a substantial increase in the NGOlobbys political influence in the country with the successful induction of many of its nominees into key

positions of power in the administration under different ministries. In 1992, two very important legislations i.e.73d and 74 th amendments to the Constitution were passed by the Parliament, with the avowed objective ofstrengthening the institutions of Panchayat Raj and urban bodies through decentralization of power, so as to

allow the people at the lowest level to take part in the decision making process. Supporting the twoamendments, the NGO activists had boasted that the two Acts would help to realize Gandhijis dream conceptof Gram Swaraj. In 1996, another important legislation called Panchayats (Extension to Scheduled Areas) Act,(PESA) 1996, which granted extension of the idea of local self-governance to tribal regions in the country, wasalso passed by the Parliament.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panchayats_(Extension_to_Scheduled_Areas)_Act_1996 )

The PESA endowed the Gram Sabhas, the management and control of natural resources and adjudication of justice in accordance with local traditions and customs. This Act was reportedly originally drafted jointly by an NGO activist based in Maharashtra and a human rights activist based in Hyderabad. The NGO activists have been strongly advocating the need for strengthening the Panchayat Raj system and empowering the village

panchayats in the country, since last two decades. Their demand had the whole-hearted backing of some seniorCongress politicians like Mani Shankar Iyer, Jairam Ramesh and lately Rahul Gandhi. When the Congress-ledUnited Progressive Alliance was voted to power in 2004, one of the first major decisions of the newgovernment was the creation of a separate ministry for Panchayat Raj, and entrusting the charge of the newministry to Mani Shankar Iyer. The creation of an independent Ministry for Panchayati Raj by the UPAgovernment in May, 2004 was actually the fruition of an idea cherished by the NGO- action group lobby inIndia led by Sonia Gandhi. In 2006, another

NGO-sponsored Bill, called The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition ofForests Rights) Act, 2006 was passed by the Parliament, which granted the right of ownership of land andcontrol over minor forest produce and natural resources to the inhabitants of the tribal areas. This Act, also

called the Forest Rights Act, was originally drafted by Pradip Prabhu, an NGO leader working among the tribalsof Thane district in Maharashtra. He had also conducted a nation- wide campaign by holding morchas anddemonstrations throughout the country in association with other like-minded activist groups to mobilize supportfor this Bill. Why are the civil society activists, who have been supporting all anti-national movements likeMaoist movement, Kashmiri separatists, Tamil nationalist organizations and agitations against various megadevelopment projects in India have suddenly become the champions of Gram Swaraj and empowerment ofGram Sabhas and forest panchayats?

Conspiracy behind hijacking of Gandijis Gram Swaraj concept.

The Panchayat Raj is a system of governance in which the gram panchayats are the basic units ofadministration. It functions at three levels at gram (village), tehsil (block) and zilla (district). Mahatma Gandhiwas a strong advocate of the Panchayat Raj system, a decentralized form of government where each village will

be responsible for its own affairs and had described it as Gram Sawaraj (village self-governance).

In January 1957, the Government of India had appointed a special committee headed by Balwant Raj Mehta toexamine the working of the Community Development Programme (CDP) and National Extension Service(NES) and to suggest measures to improve the functioning of the CDP and NES. The report submitted by theMehta Committee and approved by the government in 1958 had set the stage for the establishment of PanchayatRaj institutions in India. The committee had recommended for the launch of a scheme for the democraticdecentralization of power which subsequently came to be known as Panjayat Raj. As per the 3-tire PanchayatRaj system recommended by the Mehta committee, there will be a gram panchayat at the village level, a

panchayat samiti at the block level and a zilla parishad at the district level.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balwant_Rai_Mehta_Committee )

About thirty years after the implementation of the Mehta Committee report on Panchayat Raj, the civil society

activists suddenly raked up the issue again in the 1980s, demanding decentralization of power right up to thelowest level of panchayat institutions so as to allow the people at the grassroots level to participate in thedecision making process, which alone, they argued, will help to realize Gandhijis dream concept of Swaraj.Under the pressure of activists and with the support of a top leader of the Congress party, the Constitution (73damendment) Act, also known as Panchayat Raj Act, was finally passed by the Parliament in 1992. It came intoforce on April 24, 1993, giving necessary constitutional sanction to the Panchayat Raj institutions.

Article 243(A) of the Constitution says that the Gram Sabha may exercise such powers and perform suchfunctions at village level as the Legislature of a State may, by law, provide. It is under this provision, that theState Legislatures have endowed certain powers to the Gram Sabha relating to village development. However,the powers given to the Gram Sabha under this provision were confined only to discuss, debate and scrutinize

the reports on socio-economic development programmes implemented by the gram panchayat and the annualstatement of accounts and audit reports for the previous year. Thus the Gram Sabha did not have real powers toimplement any scheme. However, the provisions of the Pachayats (Extension to the Scheduled Areas) Act, 1996(PESA), has not only extended development, planning and audit functions to the Gram Sabhas, but alsoendowed it with powers for management and control of natural resources and adjudication of justice inaccordance with local traditions and customs.

While the 73d Amendment to the Constitution passed by the Parliament in 1992 was aimed to strengthen thePanchayat Raj institutions at the lower levels and empower them to take part in the decision making processunder the decentralized governance, the 74 th Amendment to the Constitution in 1992 was intended to facilitatedecentralization of urban governance. The 74 th Amendment required the state governments to amend their

municipal laws in order to empower the urban local bodies with such powers and authority as may be necessaryto enable them to function as institutions of self governance. This Amendment in its section 243 S provides forsetting up of Ward Committees to ensure citizen participation in decision making. Thus the 73d and 74 th

Constitution Amendment Acts of 1992 provided constitutional mandate for decentralization of governance andcreating units of local self government at both the rural and urban settlement levels.

In December, 2005, a city modernization scheme called the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission(JNNURM) was launched by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, and under this mission a CommunityParticipation Law (CPL) was made mandatory to be enacted in the states, which involves constitution of Area

Sabhas (or Mohalla Sabhas) enabling further decentralization of urban bodies below the Ward Committees. Thelaw has been made mandatory by making it a condition to avail funding under JNNRUM.

The Community Participation Law (CPL), also termed as Nagar Raj Bill is an elaborate law that prescribes thestructure, powers and functions of the Area Sabha and also prescribes the constitution and governance of theward committees. As per this law, the hierarchy of representation after the municipal body would be the wardcommittees followed by Area Sabhas. Thus the Area Sabha or the Mohalla Sabha would be the lowest unit inthe hierarchy.

Panchayats in tribal areas will soon be controlling forest management at the ground level, replacing the controlof the Forest Department. At a meeting held during the third week of May, 2010 between Union Minister ofstate for Environment and Forests Jairam Ramesh and Union Minister for Rural Development and PanchayatRaj, C.P.Joshi, it was decided to remove Joint Forest Management Committees (JFMCs) from the control of the

District Forest Officer and instead bring them under the control of the Gram Sabhas and forest panchayats. Thisis now being implemented in the tribal areas that come under the Panchayat (Extension to Scheduled Areas )Act (PESA), 1996. The JFMCs are the basic units of participatory forest management at local level which will

take into consideration the views of all stakeholders. However the civil rights activists have sabotaged thissystem with their political influence, and managed to bring them under the Gram Sabhas.Thus the Gram Sabhas would now control all the funding that is routed through the one lakh JFMCs across the

country for various forestry-related schemes. The money will now be routed through the forest panchayats intribal areas. Forest Department staff will be made accountable to the panchayats on all relevant issues.Panchayat institutions will have to be consulted before making any decision or declaration involving the forestland. Thus the staff of the Forest Department, whose primary duty is to protect the forest from forest dwellersand outsiders, would now work under the Gram Sabha or Forest panchayat, taking orders from them. All theforestry-related funds also would be controlled by the Gram Sabha.

Sinister designs.

The NGO lobbys sudden love and interest in empowering the Gram Sabhas and its proclaimed aim tostrengthen the Panchayat Raj system has some sinister designs. Their aim is not simply to strengthen thePanchayat Raj, but to take control of the empowered panchayat institutions throughout the country. When the

provisions of the Panchayat Raj are fully implemented, there would not be much powers left with the state anddistrict administration and those who control the panchayat institutions in rural areas and mohalla sabhas inurban areas would become the real rulers of the country. Without the consent of the Gram Sabha, no mining

project, whether it is coal, bauxite, iron ore or uranium, can be undertaken by the government, or anydevelopment project can come up under the jurisdiction of the Gram Sabha and the Mohalla Sabha. In ruralareas, where the major industrial and development projects are concentrated and new ones are scheduled to

come up, the Gram Sabhas are almost fully under the control of the NGO activist groups. It is with such sinisterdesigns that the militant NGOs are concentrating on organizing the masses in the remote rural and tribal areasand pressing for full implementation of the Panchayat Raj Act and 73d and 74 th amendment of the Constitution.It is easy for the foreign-funded NGOs, who work in the remote tribal and rural areas, to influence the poor andilliterate village elders by bribing them with liquor and money and control the Gram Sabhas. Militant NGOshave already established their control over thousands of Gram Sabhas in states like Chhattisgarh, MadhyaPradesh, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh and Maharashtra. The Gram Sabhas are nowused by the NGO-sponsored anti-development lobby to stall hundreds of mega development projects, including

coal, bauxite and other mining projects, in these states in a bid to stall our economic progress at the behest oftheir funding agencies in the west. For instance, all the 12 Gram Gabhas controlled by the NGO lobby inRayagada and Kalahandi districts of Odisha have voted against the Rs.50000 crore aluminium refinery projectof Vedanta Resources in the Niyamagiri hills in August, 2013.(http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/12th-gram-sabha-too-votes-against-vedanta-mining/article5039304.ece )

In another instance, the new Environment and Forest Minister Veerappa Moily has given the environmentalclearance to the Rs.52000 crore POSCO steel project in Odisha, which was held up since 2005 due to pendingenvironmental clearance from the MoEF and NGO-sponsored anti-POSCO agitation by the local villagers. Butthe NGOs, using the Gram Sabhas can still block this project.

Origin of NGO militancy

The activist NGOs or civil society groups were earlier known as social action groups, voluntary action groups,non-governmental organizations or non-party political formations. The evolution of activist NGOs with stateand national level networking is a phenomenon that originated in 1960s and after having gained momentum inthe next two decades, transformed itself into a parallel political force by 1980s. The establishment of this NGO

network was a carefully planned part of a well-calculated strategy by the capitalist countries led by the USA fordirect intervention in the rest of the world, especially in the third world countries, for giving developmentassistance to the rural poor with the hidden objective of curbing the growth of communism and also for

promoting Christianity. There was extreme poverty and a lot of inequalities in the third world countries in thosedays and the ground situation in many of those countries was very conducive for the growth of revolutionarymovements. The capitalist forces did not want the Soviet block to take advantage of such a situation to spreadits sphere of influence to all such countries by engineering revolutionary regime change. It was mainly to

prevent such a possibility that the capitalist lobby led by the USA started giving development assistance to therural poor in those countries through the NGO network. These NGO activists who worked among the peopleeven in remote areas of all such countries were also used as a reliable source of information by the westernagencies to correctly assess the mood and temper of the people and also the socio-economic and political

situation in those countries which was of immense value to the capitalist block to formulate their policiestowards such target countries.

Since mid-seventies, there was a significant shift in the style, strategy and mode of functioning of these activistgroups with most of them accepting and propagating militancy as a tool to empower the Adivasis and otheroppressed rural poor to fight for their rights and demands. As per this new strategy, the leaders of these groups,in the name of empowering the rural poor, started educating the rural masses about their citizenship rights, landrights, etc, and also their right to lead a dignified life. They were also taught and trained to fight for their rights

by organizing a militant movement against the concerned authorities to get their demands conceded. Evolutionof this new militant movement, known as action group movement, was the result of a sinister internationalconspiracy worked out by the western intelligence agencies and church agencies like Opus Dei to indulge in

political activism in other countries, especially in third world countries, to influence and control the rulingregimes in those countries. The militancy was introduced into this movement to build up a vast network of suchmilitant groups who could be used later as an instrument for facilitating a regime change in those countrieswhere the policies of the existing regimes were considered as either inconvenient or hostile to the interests ofthe western block countries. Thus, under this new strategy, it was required to build up a vast network of militantcivil society groups in every country mainly to protect the interests of the imperialist block. The objectives ofthis movement however differed from one country to another depending upon the strategic requirements of thecapitalist lobby in different countries. The method that the activists adopted for educating the rural poor about

their citizenship and land rights and their right to lead a life with dignity and to train them to fight back againstoppressive forces like the police, forest staff and the civil authorities was greatly inspired by the liberationtheology movement that originated in the Latin American countries in the sixties and gained considerableinfluence in the region in the seventies. The liberation theologians all over the world have been using therevolutionary teaching methods propagated by the Brazilian educationist Paulo Frire to promote literacy ingeneral and adult education in particular among the poor and illiterate masses. This method of teachinginvolved a direct dialogue with the subjects and sensitizing them about the social environment andcircumstances which kept them under a state of subservience for a long period of time and empowering them tofight back against the oppressive forces for their liberation. Paulo Frire had written a booklet titled Pedagogy ofthe Oppressed which is widely used by the liberation theology activists in Latin America and other countries asa teaching manual for empowering the disempowered. The same book is also used by the NGO activists in Indiato educate the rural masses in India for their empowerment.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedagogy_of_the_Oppressed )

Liberation Theology Movement

From late 1950s there was a strong and growing feeling among a section of Catholic bishops and priests inLatin America for the need for a preferential option for the poor to counter the growth of socialist movements

and protestant sects which they saw as an emerging threat to the influence of the Catholic Church. They felt theneed for a shift of emphasis in Latin American Christianity from charity and alms-giving to an advocacy ofsocial justice through empowerment of disadvantaged classes. It is the intellectual articulation of this line ofthought that led to the liberation theology movement, and its most concrete application is the formation of BaseEcclesial Communities.

The second Vatican Council (Vatican-II) held from 1962 to 1965 was an important milestone in the history ofthe Catholic Church as some path-breaking decisions were taken at this conference. One important decisiontaken at this meeting was the silent approval of a new revolutionary movement based on the concept calledLiberation Theology that was being propagated by some sections of the Catholic church in the Latin Americancountries.

There was prolonged debate on the new movement at the conference and finally it was decided to give silentapproval to the new movement without giving any open support to it. This denial of open support to the newmovement was a tactical decision taken to silence a powerful section within the top brass of the church whofeared that since the new movement preached Marxian ways and militancy to empower the poor to fight againstoppression and injustice, there was a grave risk of the poor getting lured into the genuine communist movementand thus becoming counterproductive. Thus, accepting the new movement in principle, the Vatican-II calledupon the church to become involved with the struggles of the poor and pointed out that if the church stoppedaligning with the powerful elite and advocated the need for a more just world, the poor could be reached moreeffectively.

In 1968, the Latin American Episcopal Conference (CELAM) met in Medellin, Colombia, mainly to discussabout applying the Vatican-II decisions on Liberation Theology to Latin America and giving the churchauthority to become involved in the social change. The concept of creation of Base Ecclesial Communities(base communities) in the interior areas to organize people to fight for their rights, to carry forward a Marxism-inspired peoples movement for a social change and to carry out consciousness-raising evangelism, was evolvedat the Medellin conference. Base communities are groups of Catholics, mostly from low-income strata, who gettogether once in a week in a neighbourhood church to reflect on Bible and carry out social and politicalactivities. The liberation theology leaders at the Medellin conference criticized the inequalities between the

social classes and called for a commitment to the poor. They asserted that the violence was wrong, butsometimes necessary when fighting against institutionalized violence such as violence by the government.Adopting the liberation theology style of activism, the civil society activists in India are also trying to establishtotal control over the Gram Sabhas and Mohalla Sabhas and shape them up like the Base Communities of LatinAmerica.

As per the new doctrine of activism adopted by the Vatican, the Catholic church in India also accepted thenew doctrine and deputed some clergy-men to work among the tribals and other rural masses in the remoteareas of the country to educate and train them in organizing militant struggles to get their various grievancesand demands conceded. As per this strategy, the first batch of 30 catholic priests resigned from the church in1976 and took to activism. Peter DMello @ Pradeep Prabhu, one of the most prominent civil society activistsin India, who is now an advisor on tribal affairs to the Planning Commission, was one of the thirty priests whoquit the church in 1976 to become a social activist. Peter DMello who changed his name to Pradeep Prabhu and

Nicolson Cardozo, another Catholic priest who resigned from the church along with Prabhu in 1976 to becomea social activist, together founded the Kashtakari Sanghatana, a militant tribal outfit in the Dahanu-Jawhartribal belt of Thane district in Maharashtra in 1978. Some more Catholic priests have subsequently resignedfrom the church to become social activists and to lead peoples movements in different parts of the country as

part of this church strategy.

There are also some other priests who became social activists without resigning from the church. Fr. ThomasKocheri of Kerala who is in the forefront of organizing the fish workers in India and Fr.Cedric Prakash, who isa prominent human rights activist of Gujarat, are among the Christian activists still directly associated with thechurch.

Maoist movement

The naxalite movement in India originated in 1967 from a small village called Naxalbari located near Siligudiin West Bengal. It started in the form of an agrarian uprising led by Charu Majumdar and Kanu Sanyal, tworadical CPM activists who were influenced by the revolutionary thoughts and teachings of the Chinese

communist leader Mao Zedong. Though the government of West Bengal was able to suppress this violentuprising, this peasant uprising soon caught the fancy of many leftist intellectuals and young radicals throughoutthe country and a new movement of left extremists was born in India with the formation of some independentleft extremist groups in states like West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala. Since the agrarian uprising in

Naxalbari village had given the inspiration for the emergence of these new radical groups, they all came to beknown as Naxal groups and the followers of this movement were called Naxalites. This movement led byveteran leaders like Charu Majumdar in West Bengal, Kondappilli Sitaramaiyyah in Andhra Pradesh had drawngood response from the people in the initial stage. But soon, it started splitting and disintegrating, especiallyafter the death of Charu Mazumdar in police custody in 1972, because of the ego clashes among its leaders. Itwas at this stage i.e. around mid-seventies that the net-working NGOs started its militant action groupmovement in the country and some of its leaders started befriending leaders of various Naxalite groups seeking

their cooperation in building up militant people's movements all across the country to oppose the anti-poor policies of the government. In due course, the NGO action groups were able to establish a working relationshipwith some of the leading Naxalite groups in the country. With this mutually beneficial understanding andassociation between the two movements, the disintegrating Naxal groups got a fresh lease of life with thesupport it received from the action groups and the action group movement got an appropriate ally to pushforward its anti-national operations in India as desired by its controlling agencies in the imperialist block led bythe US. This close cooperation between the NGO action groups and leading Naxalite outfits not only gotconsiderably strengthened in the due course but led to a total takeover of the Maoist movement in the country

by the NGO action groups with liberal funding from the western agencies and induction of a number of action6

group volunteers into major Naxalite groups like the CPI (Maoist) and CPI-ML led by Kanu Sanyal andK.N.Ramachandran. Many Christian action group cadres have also been inducted into prominent Naxalitegroups under the garb of liberation theology activists. For instance Vernon Gonsalves @ Vikram, a statecommittee member of Maharashtra unit of CPI (Maoist) who was arrested by the ATS, Maharashtra, inAugust,2007 and another top Maoist leader Arun Ferreira, r/o Bandra, who was arrested by Nagpur police had

both confessed to the police that they were originally activists of liberation theology movement.

A number of human rights activists including Dr.Binayak Sen,Vice President of PUCL, have also been arrestedin the past for their close links with the Maoist movement in the country confirming the close links between theMaoist movement and NGO and human rights net-work. Since the Christian action groups in the country are allcontrolled by various church agencies, many church leaders in India are also now directly linked with the

Naxalite movement. Today, with the full support and all possible assistance from the networking NGOs andalso with the systematic induction of a large number of NGO activists into major Naxalite groups, the Naxalmovement in the country, controlled totally by the western agencies, has now grown very powerful andcontinues to make steady inroads into more and more new areas, especially in the remote and tribal regions.About 200 districts in 20 states in the country are now reportedly considered as naxal-infested.A CPI-Maoist document titled Strategy and Tactics of the Indian Revolution issued by the Central Committeeof the CPI-Maoist in 2004 says that the path followed by Lenin in Russia that of capturing urban areas,

establishing revolutionary authority in the urban areas and thereafter capturing the villages and establishing therevolutionary authority in the whole country, is not suitable to India. It says that the Indian revolution will haveto start from the opposite direction. It should start from the far-flung backward villages towards cities. The ideaof building bases in the rural areas and then encircling cities is a well-known tactic advocated and adopted byMao Zedong. The CPI- Maoist leadership also advocates creation of Base Areas in the remote and tribal regionsin the country by winning over the rural masses by exploiting their poverty, unemployment and othergrievances and preparing them for a protracted struggle against the government. Maoist strategy says that therevolutionary war has to begin in those regions that are relatively more backward and where the socialcontradictions are sharp. Therefore the primary concentration of the CPI-Maoist is the poor rural masses livingin the remote rural and tribal areas. The inadequacy of transport and communication system and isolation of theremote country-side also make them an ideal base for the nascent Maoist guerrilla army.

If the disconnected rural areas form the initial target for the Maoist agenda, contradictions found in the urbancentres provide the second stage. Supporting the many separatist movements in India based on identity, religionand caste politics is their third area of concentration. The Maoists have thus supported the separatist movementin Kashmir, Khalistani movement in Punjab, LTTE and other Tamil nationalist movements in Tamil Nadu andall other militant and insurgent movements in the rest of India. The 9 th Congress of the CPI-(Maoist) had passeda resolution saying that This Unity Congress unequivocally supports the right of self-determination of all theoppressed nationalities including their right to secede from the autocratic Indian state.The Maoist movement in India is now totally controlled by the NGO and human rights lobby working under thegarb of civil society groups, which are funded by the church and western intelligence agencies. The civil societygroups and Maoists are working together with the common objective of creating dissent and disaffection amongvarious sections of people in India.

Their efforts to take over and control all panchayat institutions like the Gram Sabhas and urban local bodies likethe Mohalla Sabhas are aimed to shape them up as liberation theology style Base Communities and Maoist styleBase Areas in the country so as to facilitate the realization of their ultimate goal of Indias balkanizationthrough a mass uprising.

International support for Maoist movementAs already stated above, the CPI-(Maoist) movement in India is now being used as a convenient tool by thewestern agencies to promote chaos and anarchy in India with the ultimate aim of balkanization of India. Theseagencies are also suspected to have played a key role in setting up branches of fake revolutionary communist

parties in different countries, mainly in western countries, to mobilize international support for the Maoistmovement in India. Bob Avakian, Chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party of America, is also the topmost leader of the World Maoist Movement. The first international conference, jointly organized byInternational Committee to Support the Peoples War in India and the Hamburg-based League Against ImperialAggression, was held at Hamburg on November 24, 2012 to commemorate the first death anniversary of Maoistleader M.Koteswar Rao @ Kishenji who was killed in a police encounter in West Bengal. Delegates from overtwo dozen countries, including Austria, Canada, Brazil, Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, Spain, Britain and theUSA, attended this conference. The International Committee was formed in Paris in January, 2010. PushpaKamal Dahal @ Prachanda, Maoist leader of Nepal, was once considered as the second most important leaderof the world Maoist movement, after Bob Avakian. He has now disbanded his underground army in Nepal andhas accepted the parliamentary democracy. A genuine Maoist could never have accepted parliamentarydemocracy.(http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/maoists-whip-up-support-abroad/1199131/ )

Why the Civil Society Groups promote anarchy and Chaos in India?The civil society organizations are promoted, funded and controlled by certain western intelligence agencies,Corporate Houses and Foundations and Christian funding agencies to protect the interests of the US and its

NATO allies and the Church all over the world. These groups are active now in almost all countries in the worldincluding Russia and China. However their assignments differ from one country to another depending upon thestrategic interests and objectives of the western lobby in a particular country and the political affiliation of theruling regime in that country. In most countries, the role of these groups is to cultivate agents in all political

parties and at top levels of the administration, judiciary and security forces to ensure the continued support ofthe ruling regime to the policies of the US-led western block in world affairs. In authoritarian countries likeCuba and Venezuela and in countries wherever the ruling regimes are perceived by the US as hostile to itsinterests, the objective of these groups would be to promote a congenial atmosphere for the overthrow of the

ruling regime in association with all dissident, militant and secessionist groups in such countries, and to install afriendly regime.

10The western block, however, always had a different agenda for India and China, two countries with vast areaand big population.The US think tanks knew that these two countries with vast territory and big population would be the mainchallenger to their world domination in the long run, and they wanted nothing but the balkanization of these twocountries.

ChinaHowever, in China, because of its totalitarian regime and also because of severe restrictions placed on

networking NGOs and human rights organizations, the western intelligence agencies could not carry out anysignificant level of destabilization activities so far. In the recent years, they have achieved some amount ofsuccess in stirring up some protest programmes by separatists in Tibet against Chinese occupation and

promoting Islamic terrorism in Muslim dominated Xinjiang region. However, the western agencies are unlikelyto succeed in triggering any major anti-government uprising in China in the near future. Meanwhile, confirmingthe western fears about China and India, China which was a poor country like India in the sixties and seventies,has already emerged as the second biggest economy in the world, besides becoming a major military power, andis poised now to surpass even the US economy in the near future to emerge as the biggest economy in theworld.

RussiaEven in Russia, the civil society movement poses a big headache for the government.The glasnost era had paved the way for the emergence of a vibrant civil society in Russia. However VladimirPutin who became the President of Russia in 2000 later realized how the NGO and human rights organizationswere acting against the interests of the country and felt the need to impose some restrictions on the activities ofthese NGO and human rights groups which were projecting themselves as civil society groups. Russianauthorities believed that the US and European countries were using these civil society groups to promotewestern influence in the erstwhile former Soviet dominions. This threatened Moscows prerogatives in itsneighbourhood. Ukraine for instance had started expressing a desire for getting a NATO membership. It alsounderwent an Orange revolution that replaced the pro-Russian presidential candidate with a pro-Americancandidate and the Russian authorities found that the take-over bid by the western elements was facilitated by thecivil rights groups. Ukraine was thus poised to break out of the Russian orbit and Moscow feared that Ukrainesentry into the NATO will bring western forces to Russias borders. These NGOs also supported the peoplesmovements in sensitive areas like Chechnya and condemned the human rights violations occurring in thoseareas. Irked by such activities of the foreign-funded NGOs, Putin in 2006 enacted a law that gave governmentagencies in Russia broad authority to regulate the activities of NGOs and started implementing the new law tocurtail the activities of NGOs. Another law that was used to silence the NGOs was the anti-extremism lawenacted in 2002. Kremlin particularly targeted those NGOs which were working on sensitive human rights

issues in regions like North Caucasus, those receiving foreign funding and those trying to stir up public dissent.The 2006 law gave wide powers to the government in the formation and operation of all NGOs. It can rejectapplications on pettiest grounds. The officials can conduct intrusive inspections to harass the NGOs and tiethem down in weeks and months of paper work.

In July, 2012, the Russian government introduced and passed a new amendment to the law on non-governmental organizations which came into effect in November, 2012. The new Law required all foreign-funded non-governmental organizations (NGOs) engaged in any kind of political activity to declare themselvesas foreign agents, an expression synonymous with the word spy.(http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sponsored/rbth/politics/9713857/ngos-anger-new-russia-law.html )

India The independent India that emerged after the British-aided partition in 1947, was not supposed to survive as asingle united entity for long as per the calculations of the US, British and other western think-tanks. Many ofthese intellectuals, including former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill thought that India with all itsreligious, linguistic, and ethnic diversities and rivalries would soon collapse as an independent and united Indiaunder the weight of its own internal contradictions. However, to their utter dismay, the new Indian leadershipshowed extraordinary tact and maturity to overcome all the teething problems and succeeded in forcing all therecalcitrant princely states to merge with the Indian Union to emerge as a well-knit united entity. This was a bigset back for the sinister designs of the imperialist lobby. In their scheme of things, there was no scope for theexistence of an independent and united India. Because, they knew that India with its vast size and populationcould one day emerge as a parallel power centre in South Asia, and this had to be stopped at any cost. Thus, the

destabilization of India has been a priority for the western strategists ever since Indias emergence on the scene.The two main objectives of the so-called civil society in India is to promote Christianity and to encourage andsupport all militant and insurgency movements in India with the ultimate objective of a Soviet Union-type

break-up of India into ten or twenty independent smaller countries, which will serve the strategic and long-timeinterests of the USA.

It was because of this long-term goal, that despite our seemingly good relations with the US and its allies, theUS was always creating hurdles against Indias economic progress and preventing India from becoming a major

military power. India had developed the capacity to explode a nuclear device in 1966 itself. However, lateDr.Homi J. Bhabha, founder director of BARC, who disclosed this to the then American ambassador ChesterBowls in 1965, mysteriously died in an air crash near Mont Blanc on January 24, 1966. Subsequently in 1968,the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT) was signed jointly by the nuclear and non-nuclear countries, mainlyon the initiative of the US, to prevent proliferation of nuclear weapons, thus effectively stalling Indias attemptto become a nuclear power. When India exploded a nuclear device in 1974 and a second time in 1998, sanctionswere imposed on India by the US and its allies on both the occasions. If India had exploded a nuclear device

before 1968, Pakistan would never have become a nuclear power. The US and the UK had also alwayssupported the cause of Pakistan on Indo-Pak dispute over Kashmir, ever since the partition. Out of its 67 yearsof existence, Pakistan was under the military rule for more than 30 years. Pakistan adopted terrorism as a state

policy since 1980s and even gave safe shelter to international terrorists like Osama Bin Laden and DawoodIbrahim in its territory.

Despite all such misdeeds, Pakistan remained a close ally of the US is something which can have no logicalexplanation other than the inherent animosity of the US towards India. When the Pakistani tribesmen andregular troops invaded and occupied one-third of Jammu and Kashmir in 1947 and India was in the process ofevicting them through a counter attack, it was the US and UK, using Lord Mountbatten and his wife Edwina influenced Indian Prime Minister Nehru to call off the war against the invaders and take the issue to the United

Nations, where it remained frozen for all these years allowing Pakistan to enjoy the fruit of its aggression. It isalso a known fact that the Christian missionaries, supported by the western agencies, were responsible for

promoting all secessionist activities in the north-eastern region. All the other militant and secessionist activitiesin India like the separatist movement in Kashmir, Sikh militancy in Punjab, pro-LTTE and Tamil nationalistmovements in Tamil Nadu and Maoist movement in interior parts of India are also promoted and funded by thewestern agencies with the sole purpose of balkanization of India.

A shift in strategyIt was around mid-seventies that the foreign-funded activist NGOs started its militant peoples movements bymobilizing the masses in the interior parts of India to get their various demands and grievances redressed and tostall all development projects in their areas raking up environmental, displacement of people and livelihood

issues, even by resorting to violence. Many church leaders, under the guise of liberation theology activists, also joined such movements, some of them even by resigning from the church, as per this new strategy worked out by the western intelligence and church agencies. They also built up a working relationship with major Maoistoutfits in India which were on the verge of disintegration and gradually took total control of the Maoistmovement through liberal funding and induction of several NGO activists into such outfits. Along with a vastnetwork of militant social action groups and a resurgent Maoist movement, the western agencies also started

building up a vast network of its agents in various political parties, ministries and government departments, all prestigious academic and research institutions, among senior lawyers and judges, writers and artistes, historiansand academics and armed forces personnel, with special focus on top administrative officers, lawyers and

judges and armed forces personnel.

This grand strategy of building up powerful militant peoples movements all across the country and a strongnetwork of top bureaucrats in the administration and cultivating a powerful coterie of senior advocates and judges, which was started in the seventies got a big boost in 2004 when the Congress-led United ProgressiveAlliance (UPA) was voted to power and Manmohan Singh became the Prime Minister of India. This was afarcical arrangement, as while Manmohan Singh held the Prime Ministers post, all the powers of the PM wereillegally usurped by Sonia Gandhi. Later Sonia Gandhi set up a National Advisory Council (NAC) with herselfas its chief to advise the Union Cabinet on crucial issues of governance, but virtually functioning like a supercabinet. This NAC, composed mostly of NGO stalwarts, exposed Sonia Gandhis close links with the NGOlobby beyond any doubt.

The Union government has enough material evidence to prove that the activist NGOs, funded and supported bythe church and western agencies, were directly involved in various anti-national movements in the country likethe Maoist movement, separatist movement in Kashmir, ULFA in Assam, Tamil nationalist movement in Tamil

Nadu, Sikh militancy, secessionist movements in the north-east and all anti-development agitations in India. Bysetting up the NAC dominated by such NGO activists, Sonia Gandhi has raised big question mark about herown integrity.

Anti-national activities of the UPA governmentThe anti-national credentials of the top Congress leadership also reflected in the policies followed and actiontaken by the UPA government since 2004. The first major decision of the UPA government after coming to

power was the abolition of POTA. When the jihadi terror was becoming more and more ruthless and the Maoistmovement was making steady inroads into more and more interior parts of India, was there any logic inabolishing an effective anti-terror law like POTA? The UPA government followed a soft on terror policy andlifted all travel and visa restrictions to Pakistan and also started more cross-border bus and train services

between the two countries making it easier for the new terror recruits from India to travel across the border andget training in terror camps in POK. The result was the spread of jihadi terror, which was earlier confined onlyto Kashmir valley, to all parts of India. In 2005, the UPA government appointed a committee led by Rajinder

Sachar, a supporter of Kashmiri separatists, Maoist movement and Naga militant outfit NSCN IM, to study the problems and status of Muslims in India and suggest remedial measures to improve their lot. His report was onthe expected lines and became a tool for Pakistan and western agencies to denounce India for its treatment ofMuslims in India. In 2006, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh sent a PDP delegation from Jammu and Kashmirled by PDP leader Mufti Mohammad Sayeed to the UN to make a presentation on his concept of self-rule andautonomy for Kashmir before an international gathering at the UN in November 2006 and canvass support forthe same as a possible solution to the Kashmir dispute. By allowing to send such a PDP-delegation to the UN tomake a presentation advocating self-rule and autonomy for Jammu and Kashmir, was not the UPA governmentconveying its support to such a proposal? Despite the large-scale killings, kidnappings, extortions and other

brutalities being committed by the Maoists, the UPA government still treated the Maoist movement as ahumanitarian problem and refused to take stringent measures to curb it. Even after the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai,

Sonia Gandhi refused to enact any tough anti-terror law to combat terror effectively. The UPA government alsotook a lenient view of the efforts to revive Sikh militancy in Punjab and removed 142 out of 169 dreaded Sikhmilitants from the black list. It also allowed the Jammu and Kashmir government to stop the practice of hoistingof national flag at Lal Chowk in Srinagar on the Republic Day from 2010, stating that it would be anunnecessary provocation for the separatists in the state. Despite repeated directives from the Supreme Court, theUPA government did not take any action to detain and deport all illegal Bagladeshi immigrants from Assam andother parts of India. The UPA government appointed two known ISI agents, namely journalist DileepPadgaonkar and academic Radha Kumar, as interlocutors to study and suggest measures to resolve the Kashmir

problem.

The government in 2009 gave an open invitation to all J&K terrorists who have crossed over to POK since

1980s to come back with their Pakistani wives and settle down in J&K, and even promised them with job andfree housing. The sympathy and goodwill shown by Sonia Gandhi and her daughter Priyanka to the accused inthe Rajiv Gandhi assassination case was responsible for the revival of pro-LTTE sentiments in Tamil Nadu. Allthe agitations against mega development projects in India, meant to stall Indias economic progress, enjoyed the

patronage of Sonia Gandhi. Sonia loyalist and NAC member Aruna Roy and AAP leaders Arvind Kejriwal andPrashant Bhushan had openly campaigned against the Kudankulam nuclear plant in Tamil Nadu. All welfareschemes like the loan waiver, MGNREGA, food security and aadhar, involving huge expenditure , are actuallymeant to destroy Indias economy. The new Land Acquisition Act will be a disincentive for setting up any newindustrial project in India.

Manmohan Singh, even when he was the finance minister of the country during the 1991-95 period had starvedIndias nuclear programme of funds, disabling new projects and halting uranium exploration. The uraniumcrunch that we face today is rooted in the policies pursued by Manmohan Singh even after becoming the primeminister. The UPA governments 2008-09 budget had slashed the Department of Atomic Energys funding by$529 million. As per the nuclear deal signed with the US in 2008, India decided to permanently shut down theCirus research reactor, one of Indias two bomb-grade plutonium-production reactors, located at BARCMumbai, by 2010 overruling the opposition from the nuclear establishment. The Cirus reactor which becameoperational in 1960, was the source of our weapon-grade plutonium for Indias 1974 nuclear test. The Cirus was

built with the technical assistance from Canada. The closure of the Cirus reactor in 2010 has deprived Indiasnuclear programme one-third of its current supply of military-grade plutonium. The interest and urgency shown

by the US in signing a nuclear treaty with India in 2008 was clearly to stifle Indias nuclear programme.Manmohan Singhs decision to shut down the Cirus reactor, succumbing to pressures from the US and SoniaGandhi, amounts to most despicable action and a betrayal of the country.

Despite such planned and deliberate misdeeds by the UPA government, nobody in the ministry or the partyquestioned the leadership over such anti-national acts. Even the opposition parties, including the BJP, failed toexpose the anti-national activities of the UPA government.

The grand strategy of the NGO lobby to build up militant peoples movements all over the country andcultivating/inducting a large network of agents in various ministries and government departments, including the

judiciary and armed forces, finally resulted in the creation of a gigantic octopus- like NGO- war machine withits tentacles tightening its grip over the entire country with every passing day. This was made possible becauseof the help and close cooperation extended to the NGO lobby by Sonia Gandhi from the seventies. Subsequentlywith the help of this leader, the NGO lobby was able to get some very important but dangerous legislations, asmentioned below, passed in the Parliament.

The Constitution (74 th Amendment) Act, 1992.Panchayats (Extension to the Scheduled Areas) Act, 1996 (PESA).The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006.

These bills were passed in the Parliament with the proclaimed objective of promoting decentralization of powerup to the grassroots level for the realization of Gandhijis dream concept of Swaraj. This so-called dreamconcept is actually a cunning strategy devised by the western intelligence agencies to grant total autonomy andself-rule to all the states in India by using the sweet terms like empowering the Gram Sabhas and MohallaSabhas all across India. With various militant and separatist movements dominating many border states andinterior parts of India, what could happen to the idea of India if total autonomy and self-rule is granted to suchregions? Clearly the only aim of crooks like Arvind Kejriwl, Rahul Gandhi, Jairam Ramesh and Mani ShankarAiyar, who are the staunchest supporters of this Swaraj movement, is to facilitate the process of Indias

balkanization as desired by their masters in the west.

There are many IAS, IFS, IRS, and IPS officers and High Court judges among the Indian agents recruited by thewestern agencies through the NGO lobby to facilitate their shady operations in India. Some of the retired judgesand IAS officers could be seen openly associated with the activities of activist NGOs after their retirement. The

NGO lobby, with its political influence, was behind the decision of the Union government to start a ten-dayattachment course for IAS/IFS probationers with voluntary organizations as part of their winter study tour

beginning with 1987 batch, to enable the probationers to familiarize with the condition and problems of theAdivasis and other marginalized sections of people in the remote villages. The hidden aim of this exercise wasto give an opportunity to NGO activists to cultivate friends among the young IAS officers and recruit suitabletalent for their future operations. As a result of this course, the NGO lobby has been able to build up an army of

12


17/35

sympathizers among the IAS officers. One of the voluntary organizations in Thane district (Maharashtra)selected for this training course is the Kashtakari Sanghatana, a militant tribal outfit, operating in the tribal

belt of Thane. The founder-leader of this organization is Pradeep Prabhu, a former Jesuit priest turned NGOactivist. There were frequent clashes between the supporters of the Kashtakari Sanghatana and Communist

party of India (Marxist) during the period from 1979 to 1985 and there were about 300 cases registered againstKashtakari Sanghatana activists, including Pradeep Prabhu, in connection with these clashes. If the IAS

probationers come to an activist like Pradeep Prabhu for such an attachment course, what message it will sendto local police and other district officials?Pradeep Prabhu is a very influential person. He used to give guest lectures at LBS National Academy ofAdministration (LBSNAA), Mussoorie, for IAS probationers since early 1980s. Presently he is a Member of theAdvisory Committee of the Planning Commission on the Implementation of Welfare Legislation. He was alsoan Expert Member of the Expert Committee appointed by the Government of India to examine the extent oftribal land alienation and to recommend legislative measures to curb and control the same. This is a classic caseto show how the NGO lobby, with the help and patronage from a top Congress leader, inducts its activists intoimportant positions of power.

KashmirThe NGO activists and the separatists in Kashmir valley who are opposed to the extension of any new Indian

laws to Jammu and Kashmir as per the provisions of the Article 370, are however have been pressing for theextension of 73d and 74 th constitutional amendments relating to empowerment of panchayat institutions, toJammu and Kashmir. Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi during his visit to Jammu and Kashmir in the firstweek of November, 2013 had also asserted that the situation in the state would change for the better once the73d and 74 th constitutional amendments were incorporated into the J&K Panchayat Raj Act. The 73damendment deals with empowering Panchayar Raj institutions while the 74 th amendment would make the wardcommittees and Mohalla Sabhas as self-governing bodies. Underlying treachery behind this move is that, whenfully implemented, these amendments would help the Jammu and Kashmir to legally secede from India in thenear future. In 2006, Pakistan President General Musharraf had proposed a 4-point formula for a peacefulsettlement of the Kashmir dispute. His 4-point formula envisages total withdrawal of Army and other securityforces from both parts of Kashmir, allowing people of both parts of Kashmir to travel across the border without

Passport and Visa, grant of total autonomy and self-rule to both parts of Kashmir and joint supervision of aunified Kashmir by India and Pakistan. This treacherous proposal, originally proposed by the Kashmiriseparatist leaders, was neither accepted nor rejected by the UPA government. However, as per the unofficiallyaccepted 4-point Musharraf formula, the travel and visa restrictions to Pakistan have already been lifted by thegovernment and there is free movement of men and vehicles across the border. The NAC strategy is to do awaywith requirement of Passport and Visa altogether. The troop withdrawal is accepted by the UPA government in

principle and is being implemented in phases. Defence Minister Antony had announced in the Parliament in2010 itself that 35000 troops and two battalions of para military forces had already been withdrawn fromKashmir following improvement in the ground situation. One important proposal in the Musharraf formula isthe grant of autonomy and self-rule. The 73d and 74 th amendment of the Constitution is a deceptive term forself-rule and autonomy. That is the reason why the separatists welcome the extension of the 73d and 74 th

Constitutional amendment to the Jammu and Kashmir. Yes, the UPA government is facilitating the separationof Jammu & Kashmir from India through this deceptive exercise.

Greater Tamil Nadu.The LTTE was probably the most brutal and fiercest terrorist organization in the world. It introduced and

popularized the culture of human bomb. It had no qualms of conscience or inhibitions in using children totransport bombs or carry out bomb explosions. Its cadres always kept a sodium cyanide capsule tied to a threadworn around their neck so that whenever the situation warranted, they can swallow it and avoid capture. Theterror and violence unleashed by the LTTE, is unimaginable. The prominent victims of LTTE terror included

13


18/35

former Sri Lankan President Ranasinghe Premadasa in 1993 and former Indian Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi in1991.When the LTTE was finally decimated in the final crucial war in May 2009, it was a big relief for the SriLankan Army and the people of both Sri Lanka and India.

But, the imperialist block was clearly not amused. When the LTTE bases started crumbling in the final phase ofthe war and its defeat became an imminent reality, there were frantic efforts by the US and its allies like UK and

Norway, and even by India under pressure from the US, to stop the war raking up the issue of large number ofcivilian casualties, but mainly to give an escape route to LTTE leader Prabhakaran. But this time, supported byChina, Sri Lanka was in no mood to relent and went ahead with its war and decimated Prabhakaran andwhatever was left of his war machine.

Since the end of the war, the US and its allies have been making a hue and cry about the large number of Tamilcivilians killed in the final phase of the war and demanding an international probe into the war crimescommitted by the Sri Lankan Army during the final phase of the war. Sri Lanka however rejected such ademand and instead set up its own committee to verify the truth behind all such allegations.

Today, the life is normal and there is total peace and harmony in Sri Lanka. All developmental work disrupted

by the long period of militancy and violence has resumed and Sri Lanka is clearly back on its path to peace and prosperity. In the historic polls held in the Northern Province in Sri Lanka in 2013, the Tamil National Alliance(TNA) won a landslide victory and TNA leader C V Wigneswaran was sworn in as the first elected Tamil chiefminister of Northern Province after nearly three decades of violence. A batch of 95 Tamil women recruits ofSri Lankan Army, who completed their training at the Bharathipuram Army Training School in Killinochchihad their passing out parade at Security Force Headquarters in Killinochchi in March 2013. These recruits fromthe former conflict zones had been part of the LTTEs womens wing during the conflict. This was reportedlythe first time that the Army saw Tamil women, that too former LTTE cadres, joining the Army in such a largernumber.

(http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-international/95-tamil-women-join-sri-lanka-

army/article4549099.ece )

The US and its allies, however, continue to make wild allegations about the war crimes committed by the SriLankan Army against the innocent Tamils and are still pressing for an international probe into the genocide ofTamils in Sri Lanka. Such propaganda unleashed by the western media, intended to whip up passion and angeramong the people of Tamil Nadu, has had the desired effect on the people of Tamil Nadu. More than a dozennew Tamil militant nationalist organizations have cropped up in Tamil Nadu in the recent years condemning theUnion governments inaction in preventing the genocide of Tamils in Sri Lanka and demanding a separateTamil Eelam (Greater Tamil Nadu) comprising of Tamil Nadu and Northern and Southern Tamil provinces ofSri Lanka. In fact, the US and its allies are least bothered about the killings and other atrocities suffered by theTamils during the civil war in Sri Lanka. They are angry over the killing of their protg and LTTE leader

Prabhakaran whom they were using to promote Tamil nationalism and secessionist sentiments among theTamils in Tamil Nadu and they now rake up the issue of genocide of Tamils in Sri Lanka only to whip up anti-India feelings among the Tamils in Tamil Nadu and strengthen their demand for a greater Tamil Nadu as part oftheir wider strategy aimed at Indias balkanization.

When the former LTTE cadres are only happy to join the Sri Lankan Army, why should the British andAmericans should shed crocodile tears over the atrocities suffered by the Tamils during the civil war in SriLanka?

UPA government encourages inflow of Bangladeshi migrants into IndiaThe continued influx of Bangladeshi migrants into Assam has changed the demographic profile of Assam.According to the 2001 census report, there were six Muslim-dominated districts in Assam. H.S.Brahma,Election Commissioner of India, in an article written in July, 2012 had stated that according to his information,as per the 2011 census report, 11 out of 27 districts in Assam have now become Muslim-majority districts. Ifthis trend continues, the Hindus in the State will very soon be reduced to a minority community. Many securityexperts and analysts like Lt Gen (Rtd) S.K. Sinha, former Governor of Assam and Jammu & Kashmir,T.V.Rajeshwar and Ajit Doval, both former chiefs of Intelligence Bureau, had pointed out the grave securityimplications arising out of the unchecked inflow of Bangladeshi migrants into the country. The Supreme Courtof India while invalidating the IMDT Act in 2005 had also expressed similar fears and had directed theGovernment of India to take immediate steps to identify and deport all Bangladeshi immigrants from Assamand other regions in the country.

However, the Government of India under one pretext or other has been avoiding taking any positive action inthis regard. In fact the Illegal Migrants (Determination by Tribunals) Act (IMDT) passed by the Parliament onDecember 12, 1983 was introduced by the congress-I government at the Centre only to protect the interests ofBangladeshi migrants in India. This Act is applicable only in the state of Assam. In all other states, the detection

of foreigners is done under the Foreigners Act, 1946. Under the Foreigners Act, the onus of proving onesnationality or otherwise lies on the accused, where as under the IMDT Act, the onus of proving one's nationalitylies on the complainant. This makes it impractical and impossible for the concerned authorities to proceedagainst the illegal migrants in Assam. In July, 2005, the Supreme Court of India quite rightly struck down theIMDT Act describing it as unconstitutional and the biggest hurdle in deportation of illegal Bangladeshimigrants from India. The Supreme Court also warned that large-scale infiltration from Bangladesh constitutedan external aggression against Assam. Shockingly however, instead of initiating action on deporting theinfiltrators, the UPA government on February 10, 2006, brought in the Foreigners (Tribunals for Assam) Orderto nullify the apex Courts judgment. But on December 5, 2006, Supreme Court quashed this Order also asunconstitutional, and called for implementation of its earlier judgment dated July 12, 2005 for deporting allillegal immigrants from the country. However despite such a strong verdict from the Supreme Court, the UPA

government has not initiated any action so far to detect and deport the illegal Bangladeshi migrants from Indiaor to check the continued inflow of Bangladeshis into India. This omission is deliberate. There is an ISI plot toaggressively push in more Bangladeshi Muslims into Assam and West Bengal to tilt the demographic balance inthe border areas of the two states in favour of Muslims. The aim of this operation is obviously to build up aconducive ground in the long run to press for the creation of a third Islamic country in the region. The UPAgovernments stubborn resistance to implement the Supreme Court order seeking immediate deportation of allillegal migrants from the country amply illustrates the evil designs of the NAC to create a Kashmir-likesituation in Assam.

Efforts to weaken armed forces by blocking or delaying defence infrastructure projects and promotinginternal rivalry and indiscipline.

Appointment of Air Marshal Fali Major as Chief of Indian Air ForceThe selection of Air Marshal Fali Major as the new Chief of Indian Air force in 2007 was a controversialdecision, as he was a chopper pilot. Every other former air chief was a fighter pilot. There is no rule mandatingthat only a fighter pilot could become the air chief. But that was the convention. There is also the question as tohow a man who cannot ,as per rules, command the Western or South Western Command of IAF by virtue of hisnot being a fighter pilot, can be eligible to hold the post of Chief of Air Staff. According to press reports when itwas decided by the government to appoint Air Marshal Fali H. Major as the new Chief of Air Staff, there was alot of criticism within the ranks against the decision to appoint a non-fighter pilot as the new Air Chief. At least

one senior Air Marshal-rank officer was quite vocal on this issue and reportedly had even conveyed his protestto the higher authorities in writing. Eight months after taking over as the new Air Chief, Fali Major probablyrealised that it was difficult for a non-fighter pilot like him to do full justice to his role as the Air Chief. In

November 2007, the Defence Ministry officials were surprised to receive an unusual letter from the AirHeadquarters proposing that only fighter pilots should be considered for appointment as Chief of Air Staff infuture. An intriguing question arises as to why the UPA government flouted the conventions and appointed ahelicopter pilot as the new Chief of Air Staff at the risk of creating internal rivalry and disunity within the ranks.Was it not a malicious attempt to create dissentions within the ranks?

A bird stops missile testing range proposalThe Navys proposal to set up a missile testing range at Tillanchong island in the Andaman and Nicobar islandswas shot down by the environment ministry in October, 2012, as the said island was the habitat of anendangered bird Nicobar Megapode. Defence minister A.K.Antony on October 18 confirmed the rejection ofthe Tillanchong island for the missile range and added that a new site will be identified soon by the Navy chiefand a fresh environment clearance will be sought for the new site. The Navy had reportedly sought permissionfor temporary use of forest land on the island for missile testing. It also wanted to put up a temporary structureas a target for testing the accuracy of missiles fired from the submarines. The test firing was proposed to becarried out once every year for a duration of 7 to 10 days only. Now the Naval authorities will have to hunt for a

new site and again seek environmental clearance for the same.

Another bird stops a surveillance radar projectRaising the bogie of threat to an endangered species of bird Narcondam Hornbill, the Environment Ministryhas refused to clear a critical Ministry of Defence (MoD) project to install a surveillance radar along thecoastline in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Narcondam Hornbill is an endemic species of bird found in

Narcondam Island, 100 km to the east of the main Andaman Islands. Endorsing the similar fears expressed bythe standing committee of National Board of Wildlife, Environment Minister Jayanti Natarajan recommendedin September, 2012 that the MoD should look for alternative sites for the proposed radar project.

Meanwhile the Coast Guard has reportedly informed the Environment Ministry its inability to shift the location

elsewhere as the Narcondam Island was found to be the most suitable location for the proposed radar project.There are nine species of Hornbill found in different states of India, especially in the Western Ghats and in the

Northeastern region. Poaching is the biggest threat faced by any rare bird or animal in India. It is the mostfoolish argument put forward by the environmental lobby that the proposed radar project could wipe out theentire Hornbill population from the area. In fact, the installation of the radar will help to check poaching in thearea. The opposition to the radar project has to be seen as part of the ongoing nation-wide sabotage drive by theenemies of the country to weaken and destabilize the country by stalling all our developmental projects,scientific ventures and defence projects.(http://www.indianexpress.com/news/to-save-hornbills-environment-says-no-to-defence-project/998904/ )

Indias first underground naval base stalled due to Green hurdle

Indias first strategic underground naval base that was meant to house its nuclear-armed submarines has run intoa tangle over green norms with the regional office of the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF)opposing the diversion of over 600 hectares of reserved forest land citing a strong possibility that it may affectthe water table and soil moisture content in the area. The proposed expansion of the base at Rambilli nearVisakhapatnam, will consists of underground pens to house nuclear submarines and protected harbours forwarships. India should have gone ahead with this secret and vital project at break-neck speed to ensure its earlycompletion in view of the increasing threats to the nations security from our hostile neighbors. But the projectis now stalled, as the MoEFs Southern Zone Site Inspection report has observed that the project may have anadverse effect on the water table and soil moisture content in the area.

Over the last few years, the Ministry of Defence has black-listed so many foreign arms corporations over theissue of alleged malpractices that it has virtually stalled the militarys modernization programme. The hit listincludes some prominent global weapons suppliers with good record of delivering arms and equipments toIndia. Starting with Bofors in 1980s, the list includes Israel Military Industries (IMI), Denel of South Africa,Singapore Technologies Kinetic (STK) and Rheinmetall Air defence (RAD). The Ministry of Environmentmeanwhile has refused permission to build some urgently needed crucial roads in Himalayan region borderingChina raking up the issue of environmental damage. All these developments are actually part of a sinister planof the NAC to weaken the capabilities of Indias armed forces, as per its destructive agenda.

Growing instances of internal rivalry and indiscipline in the ArmyThe Pakistan-India People`s Forum for Peace and Democracy (PIPFPD) founded in 1994 and India-PakistanSoldiers Initiative for Peace (IPSIP) founded in 1999 were established by the NGO lobby to organize ex-servicemen in the country with the avowed objective of building up friendship and peace with Pakistan and

pave the way for resolving all outstanding issues with Pakistan, including the Kashmir dispute in an amicablemanner.

These organizations, jointly founded by social activist late Nirmala Deshpandey and former navy chief-turnedactivist Admiral L.Ramdas, preach demilitarization, denuclearization and peace and seek a peaceful democratic

solution to the Kashmir dispute. The activities of these organizations were however found blatantly antinationalin nature. These two outfits are actually promoted by the western agencies to cultivate their agents among theretired armed forces personnel and through them to establish their secret cells among the serving personnel ofvarious units of armed forces, especially in the Army, to promote indiscipline, factionalism and internal rivalryamong the service personnel and weaken it from within.

The recent incidents of indiscipline at the Armys Tabri-based Cavalry unit in Punjab in June 2011, a clash between the officers and men of 226 Field regiment at Nyoma in Ladakh in May 2012, the tension generated bythe suicide of a jawan of the 16 Cavalry Battalion at Mahesar in J&K in August 2012, the desertion of the unit

by ten Army jawans of 56 Armoured Regiment in Patiala in October, 2012, and a clash between the officers andmen of 10 Sikh Light Infantry battalion of Delhi while participating in an annual exercise at Dabthua near

Meerut in October, 2013 are instances suspected to have been encouraged and engineered by such enemy cellscultivated among the army personnel. Internal rivalries and factionalism are also rampant among senior officersof the Indian Army. This was most prominently seen during the tenure of General V.K.Singh as the Army Chieffrom 2010 to 2012. Such infighting and factionalism among the Army top brass are promoted by the westernagencies to keep them divided and make the Army ineffective in restoring order when the country plunges intoa civil war-like situation that may arise in India, as planned by the western agencies.

Chief of Indian Navy, Admiral Devendra Kumar Joshi stepped down from his post on February 26, 2014following a mishap on board Russian-built submarine INS Sindhuratna in which two officers were killed andseven sailors were injured. The navy was rattled by a series of accidents in the recent months and this is theeleventh accident in the last seven months. Earlier, on August 14, 2013, in Indian Navys worst tragedy INS

Sindhurakshak sank near Mumbai harbor, killing all the 18 men on board, after an explosion.

It has now been revealed that two navy chiefs had reportedly advised the defence ministry against givingoperational assignments to Vice Admiral Shekhar Sinha, under whose command some of the recent mishapshad hit the Navy. Still, the ministry went ahead and picked Sinha to lead the Western Naval Command, the mostheavily armed wing of the Navy. Some of Sinhas annual confidential reports had adverse comments about his

professional competence to handle such assignments. But those adverse remarks were expunged from hisdossier by the ministry, clearing the way for him to take up such sensitive positions. Earlier, in a rare instance of

17


22/35

intervention, the defence ministry had in June 2011overrulrd the navy and appointed Sinha as CISE (chief ofintegrated defence staff to the chairman, chiefs of staff committee). It did so on the advice of the law ministry.The situation thus looks very serious because of the possibility of sabotage behind these mishaps.(http://www.one.in/hindustantimes/govt-ignored-report-against-navy-no-2-1313869.html )

Admiral (Rtd) L.Ramdas, has often been found supporting the cause of Pakistan.

(http://www.shohratusa.com/index.php/13/13-page07/543-indian-admiral-admits-beheading-of-pak-soldiers ).

He is also associated with the anti-development lobby in the country led by Medha Patkar and B.D.Sharma. Hiswife, Lalita Ramdas is a former director of Green Peace International, which is suspected to have links withCIA. Ramdass daughter, Kavita Ramdas, is also a peace activist associated with a global funding agency forwoman for last many years. She is presently the Chief Representative of Ford Foundations Delhi Office. She ismarried to Zulfiqar Mohammad, a Pakistani journalist and peace activist. Arvind Kejriwal is a close friend ofAdmiral Ramdas. In fact, Ramdas had accompanied Kejriwal when he went to file his nomination on November19, 2013, to contest the Assembly elections from the New Delhi constituency.

The fact that one retired Army general, three former Navy chiefs and many other senior defence (retd) officersare associated with these two anti-national outfits (PIPFP and IPSIPD) make it a matter of grave concern.

Efforts to weaken IBs counter terror operations.Intelligence Bureau cannot be considered as a very efficient organization because of its misuse for political

purposes, mismanagement by the top brass and wrong priorities given in intelligence collection. But, thereappears to be a calculated attempt by the UPA government to make the IB totally ineffective and useless. Thecharge sheeting of retired senior IB officer Rajendra Kumar and three other serving IB officers by the CBI inconnection with the alleged generation of fake IB alerts ahead of the encounter killing of Ishrat Jahan and threeother alleged LeT terrorists in June, 2004, is indicative of such a sinister move. Such a thing has never happenedin India before. An IB officer can never be questioned by any agency on the basis of the intelligence inputs he

provides. Because, the IB officers function like the eyes and ears of the government and they can report onanything under the sun, including some rumours floating around provided it has some value to the government.They are not supposed to reveal their sources. However, these reports are properly graded and only confirmedreports are passed on to the other agencies. In the Ishrat Jahan case, the IB was forced to hand over some secretdocuments to the CBI and some IB officers not even connected with the said case were also questioned inviolation of all norms and procedures. The CBIs action against Rajendra Kumar and three other IB officers wasmeant only to demoralize the IB officials and weaken their capacity to undertake counter terror and counterespionage operations. Even the prime minister could not stop this farce indicated that the CBI took such anaction on the insistence of the NAC.

War on Indias economy.

The UPA governments so-called flagship programmes like MGNREGS, UID-cash transfer scheme, freehousing for the poor, the food security scheme and all such welfare schemes, including the loan-waiver scheme,are all destructive schemes deliberately and cunningly introduced and implemented in the country by the NACwith the sole purpose of destroying Indian economy.

Thousands of mega development projects in the country are presently stalled or delayed by issues raked up bythe anti-development lobby over land acquisition problems, rehabilitation of project-affected people, agitation

by local villagers and NGO activists or for want of environmental clearance from the Ministry of Environmentand Forests. Some of the mega projects stalled or delayed by the activities of this anti-development lobby
