Transnational Islam: Threat to India's northeast underbelly :::: Shedding 'New Year Resolution' lip-service, Modi Govt delivers

Transnational Islam: Threat to India's northeast underbelly 

(Pak designs supported by Jamat-e-Islami want a highly radicalised Bangladesh. All their policies and theories have failed, but the authorities in Islamabad have not changed. Radical Islamic groups are reviving their acts in Bangladesh and eastern India.)

New Delhi: 'Bulls we win, bears you lose' - this kind of theory guides Pakistan policies in diplomacy despite having lost in their sinister designs several times.

With the return of the Taliban in Afghanistan, Islamabad is again dreaming about a 'transnational Islamic state' in the eastern front of India. No amount of bitter lessons can make Islamabad learn any lesson as it simply does not want to learn. All their policies and theories have failed, but the authorities in Islamabad have not changed.

Pak designs supported by Jamat-e-Islami want a highly radicalised Bangladesh. Subsequently, they want a transnational Islamic sub-region comprising Bangladesh, Muslim stronghold districts of West Bengal, Assam and also Rohingya infested Arakan hills of Myanmar.

The designs were met with tough resistance by Myanmar in 2017, but the caliphate sympathisers screamed and cried in India. The project has not been dropped, and intelligence sources in India believe they revived their activities once the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan. The drug money is allegedly being channelised effectively.

The indiscriminate killings of Hindus, targeting Durga puja Pandals and noted temples in autumn of 2021 did not happen just because of local issues.

If more recent history is any precursor to the future, the world and South Asia are destined to suffer many more devastating assaults.

Those in the know of things have suggested to Bangladesh's Directorate General of Forces Intelligence to be cautious about certain things, including movements of "so-called liberal thinkers, social workers and activists of various issues."

A source said some of these elements, including from Kolkata and other parts of India, could be tracked. Keeping these in mind, the Government of India has decided to enforce a much stricter regime vis-à-vis the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA). 

A license number under the FCRA provisions is compulsory in India to receive foreign donations in a bank account. 

It is, therefore, no surprise that 6000 NGOs across the nation were denied the FCRA license numbers as per the latest order issued on January 1, 2022.

The Government of Bangladesh too has already taken some necessary precautionary steps.

There are reports that some radical organisations have 'regrouped' and resumed their operations, notwithstanding conflicts of interest between Taliban and ISIS-K.

A source engaged in the security apparatus in the northeast in the past says such radical elements have also started sending feelers to some tribal insurgent groups. "We ought to be doubly cautious as the demand for repeal of AFSPA has revived in Nagaland and could easily spread to other northeastern states," the source said.

Security analysts also say some of the armed militant groups are now in a desperate state of affairs with intra-organisation conflicts due to fund crunch and successful actions by law and order enforcing agencies against these groups.

Guerilla cadres and key leaders surrendered in Assam, Meghalaya and Tripura, leading to frustration in various ultra-camps. 67 cadres of Dimasa National Liberation Army (DNLA) laid down weapons on December 23, 2021, at Dhansiripar, Karbi Anglong, in Assam. One key HNLC cadre surrendered on December 30, 2021, in Meghalaya.

Two members of the outlawed Biswamohan faction of the National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) surrendered before the BSF on January 1, Saturday. The rebels, Khitish Debbarma and Swapan Debbarma, alias Bathar hail from the Khowai district adjoining the Bangladesh border.

 Withering 'New Year Resolutions' : Move over Cat and Mouse game 

New Delhi

(Should the global New Year Resolution focus on finding the 'real culprits' of Wuhan virus ? Should not the human race ponder why 'terrorism' wins, kills and thrives; and then expects the world to be paying the 'price' also so as to save a so-called humanitarian crisis?)

It's symptomatic of the human mind that a human being thinks generally in first person or at best in terms of his family - kids, a wife, and some time girl friends and boy friends when it comes to occasions like New Year Resolutions. Surveys not surprisingly reveal that over 42 per cent of those questioned say they want to
stay healthy and lose weight in the new year 2022.

The weight related 'resolve' will not change perhaps in the next few years. Perhaps the same 'weight factor' ruled the roost even a decade back when being slim had already become the fashion statement.

Young girl children especially gave up drinking milk, and this had resulted in anemia in a number of advanced states in India including Gujarat. 

 
The same crowd did little to discourage Pizza or other such fast-food items.

Delhi is famous for calorie intakes. Some of the influence comes from dishes like 'butter chicken' or 'butter paneer' and some from Haryanvi influence - 'Chhore ne doodh peela bhai (Give the boy a few glasses of milk)'.

But New Year is a time for new beginnings and so a time to relax, introspect and hence time to shed the bitterness of the year gone by ! These are easier said than done.

Covid crisis: Modi Detractors Rejoiced 2021 April

Politics in India like life and media's fascination for Left-liberal inspired 'sickularism' follow a predictable script. The 2021 was worst of its kind.

Narendra Modi was the favourite punching bag of this lot, and just as the year drew close to an end they discovered 'farmers' stir' Hungama has melted in the heat wave of Indian politics.

The fact of the life is no 'hate wave' can survive beyond a point -- and hence the good old lobbyists are back in games.

One funny demand is Sainthoood for a Christian 'social activist' whom the law and order enforcing agencies kept behind bars for some anti-national involvement. 

The bail is no judgement. And to die in custodial death does not wash off the 'sins' if one has committed.

There are several such episodes both in our country and overseas. At the global stage, the world finds itself unable to resolve most of its pressing problems - terrorism to Wuhan virus.

RSS leader Indresh Kumar adds his oneliner - says "Look at the audacity, China has even not offered an apology saying perhaps some mistakes led to the creation of Corona virus".

Should the global New Year Resolution not focus on finding the 'real culprits' of Covid19 or Wuhan virus ?

New Year Resolution in India should also focus on getting at the roots of those who conspired to discover a phrase called 'Hindu Terror'. 

Malegaon blast case probe and court proceedings show the entire narrative was forced to change following a high-level conspiracy. Who'll now bell the cat ?

The country has several challenges but the country is hardly united in a singular purpose to resolve them. The hitherto 'assured' lot in this country are today nervous as things are slipping out of their grip.

An instigated stir 'dies' critical death ?

This writer is a resident of Mayur Vihar area of East Delhi. I know a number of young boys and girls from the 'poorer segments' and deprived castes and communities are now coming up the ladder.

Fish-wallah's children are becoming engineers and doctors. Vegetable vendors son is ambitious to join medical course and a few housemaids' sons and daughters are pursuing education in all seriousness throwing challenge to their counterparts in so-called established and well-maintained societies.

One housemaid in the locality once handed over her 'monthly earning' to a housewife in East Delhi saying they needed to kept 'safe' as her alcoholic husband would otherwise finish this up.

Now that scenario is changing and most public sector banks handle huge rush of these segments of customers and their Jan Dhan accounts in the first week of every month.  

India is changing and this is 'New India'. You do not need a special day for adopting 'Resolution'.

You have to focus on delivery. This is what PM Narendra Modi has pledged in his New Year tweet on Jan 1, 2022.

 "May we keep scaling new heights of progress and prosperity, and work even harder...."
