So only 34% are 'General' candidates in this year's Civil Services selection. Down from 76% in 1988! In complete reversal, now 76% are entitled, one way or other. We celebrate Nadella, Pichai, Banga and Nooyi, little realising that we r celebrating loss of excellence in India.

Pained to see the footage of lynching of a hapless person, for what is hardly a 'sacrilege'. He should have been talked to, fed Langar and allowed to go. That's how Guru's Sikhs are supposed to conduct themselves as per Rahit maryada. Not lynching a disturbed soul.

Issue is not whether Pak Army lacks courage. The fact is they are continuing with an asymmetric war against our armed forces in what they have avowedly called to "bleed us by a thousand cuts". And that's a military strategy. It has to be countered by a strategy, not rhetoric.

Pak Army sends terrorists to Kashmir because it does not have courage to face Indian Army on the battlefield. Pak soldiers ran away in 1971. Pak Army Chief Pervez Musharraf ran away and was declared an offender by Pak Supreme Court in 2017. Sipahi aur General dono bhagode.

Repeal of AFSPA has to be contingent upon sparing Army for internal security duty. Army unlike police doesn't have non-lethal tools like tear gas, water canons & batons to tackle violent Civil unrest. Army's only option is to open fire. AFSPA is thus required to protect Army Ops.

Too simplistic. First stab in democratic polity was inflicted when an elected Congress President, Netaji Bose, was unseated from the office in 1939 at the behest of no less than, Mahatama Gandhi. Since then, the Congress has not cared two hoots for either secularism or democracy!

Some people may argue that let Army too carry non- lethal weapons. This is not possible for two reasons. One, it will dilute Military doctrine of 'eliminating enemy in combat'. Two, it will make mockery of 'rule of law' as Military can't keep up with constant judicial oversight.

One unexpected positive takeaway from current Air engagement btw India and Pak has been vulnerability of nearly 100% Pak Civilian Air space in case of hostilities. On the other hand a mere 20% of Indian Air space gets blocked.

Two important lessons from Sri Lanka bombings by the Islamists. 1. Keep close tabs on remittances to religious organizations from middle east and desi rich 2. Intelligence collection from Police Station level on activities of TNTJ and clones esp related to settling of "outsiders"

My column in HT: In terms of sophisticated methods and synchronized lethality, the Sri Lanka attacks on Easter Sunday were eerily similar to the 1993 Bombay bombings. This should come as no surprise: Jihadists have long used India as a terror laboratory.

Policemen beating up poor and stranded people is bad policing. Quite clearly the cops on ground have not been briefed well. Senior officers must brief men on the ground before deployment for the shift.

@Joydas @nihang "Victimhood" stories spread disaffection. Lynching like terrorism has no religion. I have seen more lynchings of errant drivers, small time thieves, suspect rag pickers, women branded as witches than lynching on religious grounds. Aside from communal riots, of course

This is absurd. Why should police 'ask' a CM ! Directives on use of force are transparent and decision making does not go beyond senior most officer in charge of the situation. And why lathi charge? What happened to use of tear gas / water cannons, the less than lethal means.

Just to put it in perspective, Indira Gandhi dismissed elected governments in different States 39 times between 1966- 1975. And then she imposed Emergency, with most draconian laws like MISA under which any dissenting voice, be it politicians or journalists were incarcerated.

As I pointed out in the Lok Sabha debate on article 370 in October 2019, a dangerous precedent has been set which the Supreme Court has now ratified. Tomorrow, a government at the Centre can declare any state to be under President’s Rule, and then get its parliamentary majority

Dogras were nominal "rulers" at the pleasure of the British Resident, and paid Rs 75 lakh tribute, arranged by exploiting Kashmiri peasant. Hence denies being Kashmiri. Last independent ruler of Kashmir was Maharaja Ranjit Singh. How Dogras became nominal rulers is another story.

@AdityaMenon22 Jathedar ji is mistaken. Sikhism is not monotheistic in the sense of Abrahmic religions. Our monotheism is akin to Vedic Hinduism's "unimaginable god", also akin to Confucianism as it focuses on knowledge and wisdom, as exemplified by status of "living Guru" to Guru Granth Sahib.
