Turning on its Head- Part I

The Indian Politics and Media reminds me more of  80-90 Telugu Movie Style. The first half of the Movie you would invariably find the Lead character Projected as Goon/Rowdy and the second half the story takes "turn on its head" implicating the lead role to be an Undercover CBI/Police Officer. The Movie Buffs would be thrilled that afterall their Hero aint a bad character after all!

In the Last couple of Months we had similar Flicks in our Political, Military and the Media Establishment. Giving many past time Writers like me, Serious Bloggers, Social Media Analyst and even full time Journalist drawing their own conclusions.

Many did change their conclusions very often than not as the News kept unravelling! SOme of the Bloggers because of their Patronage tend to toe some of the baseless Ideology like that of Swamy!.

The 1st Flick
In recent times It was Shekar Gupta who had been in all over the Social SPace! Latest being the renowed Left Ideologist Writer Kuldip Nayar said that Shekar had become Abnormally  Aflfuent and Arrgonat! Well he stopped short of calling him as a Paid Media Person, But on More serious Note on Shekars Misadventure is just out of Spook Story,,,Dhobi Ghat Episode 4

Ever since the Age Row between the Army chief and the Ministry of Defence came into the Public Domain, as expected there were more support and Solidarity for the General who in the eyes of many a crusader who was bent upon to clean the Military establishment. Then a few days back came the infamous Article Indicating on the Possible Coup by the Military on the January 16th which the theory was not only rebutted by the Congress but also by BJP. Public  Hero "General" who was Projected as a Villian by Many including the CNN-IBN (calling him a Rouge General), IE Gupta assessment on General lbeing Over Ambitious, NDTV claim on General leaking sensitive and Private Letter addressed to the PM. But the latest to do rounds is the Swamy theory which many of the Bloggers and Part time Writers tend to latch upon is the PC syndrome! Almost all the so called Centre of Right (God knows what? as well call them Anti Congress ) tend to imply that Pc is the main cause for all the trouble brewing between the General and the Defence Ministry! Lets revisit some of the important events that took place even before the 1st episode came into public light. Play>>>Reports of troop movement 'absolutely stupid':

  •  The Only Obstacle Rahul Gandhi to become PM are the Famous four PM,,DM,FM and HM assuming Congress gets the best of the Battle in the 2014 elections. 
  • All the Big 4 are known for the Political skills and to certain extent not involved in any Corruption as of now! Though some could  again dispute this coz of Swamy's effect.
  • Sonia family is known to be prone for the defence deal kickbacks and they are not likely to stay away from any defence deal.
  • General VK Singh has been regarded as one of the best even before some of us knew about him by none other than the Pentagon release through Guardian and NY Times. Described him to be honest and carries more say in the Army than any Other Preceding Chiefs had.
  •  He must have been pain in the A... for the Middlemen who wanted to Push Millions of Dollars that are in Pipeline. The Bureaucrat on the Defence Ministry cannot take any Unilateral decision unless they have someone on Board from the Military establishment to sign any Deal! Hence there were covert Move by Tejinder Singh ( expert in Intelligence/ snooping ) in association with Bureaucrats who were handled by Someone very Big in the top of the Congress Party.
  • First they tried to dismantle the relationship between the Big four , On this the first one was to create a   furore ove the Home Ministry and his activities.
  • There was alleged Mobile tapping of Digvijay Singh which was blamed and attributed to PC.
  • There was bugging of Finance Ministry and suspected IB involvement which reports to PC.
  • There was bugging of Defence Ministry though this time it was attributed to the General.
  • Private Letter written by General to the PM was leaked intentionally to bring disrespect to the General.
  • On  the above first 3 cases of bugging it was to create a Division between the Four which misfired.
  • On the Leaked letter MPs demanded either the General VK Singh need to be sacked or to be sent on a forced leave.
  • Congress Core committee which met hours after the leak many Young Brigade of Congress and the Wily Sibal and Law Minister advocated the sacking of the General.
  • Though that move was strongly rejected by the Defence Ministry , refer Hindu that Mr Antony on consulting with some of the Seniors decided not to take any hasty decision.
  • The Infamous article was one of the latest Salvo which had deadly combination of ( The Handler of the Tejinder Singh, Bureaucrats of the Defence and Home Ministry along with Shekar Gupta) came out with this coup story Indirectly referring the Credibility of the Army as well the General.
  • What turned out to be sensational for the IE for few hours bang came the March 13th interview of the General stating there are rumours going round on a possible Spooky story. There were gaping holes in the theory which so far IE failed to respond or substantiate. Whatever said and done yet another time the Chief of Army came Unscatched.
  • What little Good did this article did was to Make the General and the Defence Ministry to be on the same Page now! It was most unexpected least by the syndicate of Gupta.
  • An Unknown NRI operating under fictious name from Hong Kong resides at UK has been a close Associate to one of the top most Political Party leader. ( Neither the name of NRI nor the leader name has been verified yet). Play >>> Sonia Aware of Tatra truck Scandal in 2009
The Media and the Congress which framed him as an unworthy character in the last 48 hours he is becoming More popular and famous, remaining simple yet gathering many supporters for his cause. In real life too we do have events "Turning on its Head".
Now the Famous self Proclaimed Crusader of this country "Swamy" whose theory that PC is the one behind all these happenings. Before I even attempt to claim my view let me make it clear that Iam no Congress or PC buff!

Nerpa a.k.a INS Chakra II- another Asset

What started as an art of fighting by the Germans in the World War I brought in a new methodology called Undersea Boat later to be well know as U- boat, The arsenal of U-Boat both in World War I and II German gave a run to the Brits. There were many instances of the U Boat destroying huge Brit ships and sometimes left them gaping with no answers. Later this technology of U Boat transferred to Austria and then to Russia.


Some of the Gripping Naval Warfare is best described by few Authors like Alistair Mcleean, Jan de Hartog, John Hankins , Forester, Richard Hendrick and the best I could remeber much is from the Alistair Mcleans Bear Island which was more gripping than the Movie.
