[chottala.com] Asoka Chakra, Chanakya and RAW

Asoka Chakra, Chanakya and RAW

By Janaka Perera

In all probability those who caused the horrifying bomb explosion at the Marriot Hotel in Islamabad and those behind the bomb blast in several Indian cities this month share the same extremist politico-religious objectives even if they are not members of the same group. The nature of the explosions – especially the one at the Marriot clearly reflect the technical expertise that only a mafia gang like the LTTE can provide – may be on payment because the Tigers seem to be running short of funds nowadays.

At the same time there is no question that Prabhakaran is plotting and dreaming of doing a 'Marriot' in Colombo, even as the Security Forces are moving towards the gates of the last remaining town of his mythical Tamil Eelam.

During this year's SAARC summit Indian delegates agreed on the urgency on combating terrorism. If they are sincere then they cannot afford to pick and chose but go all out to convey a clear message not only to terrorists of all hues who are deliberately and willfully targeting unarmed civilians and non-combatants but also to their ardent supporters within and outside India. And these terrorist-sympathizers include the Norwegians whose dubious peace-making India too endorsed, although it lost all credibility among the Sinhalas.

The majority of Sri Lankans therefore do not want to hear Delhi's or any other government's pontifications about the need to win over the Tamils and ensure their safety in the Wanni before dealing with the Prabhakaran's terrorist outfit. Perhaps by the same token Pakistan has every right to tell India to ensure the security of India's Muslims against periodic Hindu extremist violence - before going after Muslim zealots for blasting bombs there.

We however need to recall here that the Sinhala majority by and large had a great regard for India in the years before Indira Gandhi got the bright idea of 'disciplining' Sri Lanka with the LTTE 'rod' which eventually turned out to be a viper. Even today Hindi movies, music, songs and dances are popular among the Sinhalas far more than Tamils. North Indian languages like Bengali have close ties with Sinhala.

As a school boy I witnessed the very warm welcome that large crowds gave Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru when he arrived at the then civilian airport of Ratmalana in 1962 during Sirimavo Bandaranaike's first term as Prime Minister. Contrast it with the visit of his grandson Rajiv Gandhi in 1987 when he was nearly hit on the head with a rifle butt by an enraged Sri Lankan sailor. Eventually the PM was destined to die at the hands of a group which his mother nurtured.

It appears that since 1983 Delhi has caught a Tiger's tail which it cannot now let go lest the animal turns around and attacks – especially because the Tamil National Alliance and Tamil Nadu jingoists are riding the brute. Even when GOSL is trying to convince India to let go off the tail she is hesitant to do so. In this context in if ever President Mahinda Rajapaksa succeeds in handing over a captured Prabhakaran to India it would be no surprise if he is not put on trial, after all the Gandhis (Sonia and Priyanka) seem to have slowly developed – perhaps for political expediency - a soft corner for Nalini and other convicts who plotted Rajvi's assassination.

Delhi's mistake has been to imagine that Kautilyan methods would always work in India's favour in the region. Kautilya alias Chanakya was Indian Emperor Chandragupta's Chief Minister who developed a strategy of destabilizing and weakening neighbouring states around 320 B.C. His methods proved advantageous to both Chandragupta and his successors including Emperor Asoka (who later gave up wars of expansion after embracing Buddhism and adopted the Dharma Chakra as the State symbol).

India's Research and Analysis Wing (RAW ) subsequently researched, developed and used these Kautilyan methods for expanding Delhi's power in the region including Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. In fact this is the Indian Government's real reason to adopt the Saranath Lion Capital and the Asoka Chakra or Dharma Chakra as India's National symbol - which appears on her national flag - more than out of respect for a great Buddhist Emperor and his religion as many Buddhists believe, according to Bangladeshi writer and Barrister M.B.I. Munshi (The India Doctrine published by Bangladesh Research Forum)

[chottala.com] Shias should move to Iran comment by Mufassil Islam

On Shias should move to Iran comment
(Mufassil Islam exposes himself)
 
Mr. Mohd. Haque
 
Your comments are well appreciated. Mr. Musassil Islam, a self-proclaimed
human rights advocate, has revealed his true identity in public by expressing
his sunni chauvinism and his divisiveness & communalism within Islam
 
 
Mr. Mufassil Islam :
 
Ironically, by the same token, the Arabs who feel discriminated in Zionist Israel should
move out to another Arab country, since, Israel was founded as a homeland for the Jews.
Similarly, the religious or ethnic minorities in any country should also move to
other countries if they they feel persecuted or  discriminated in their native land.
The religious and ethnic cleansing  should be made the cornerstone of universal
human rights: The human right advocates & lawyers should ensure that
distabilization in the name of diversity & equality is not permitted anywhere in
the world. The freedom of speech must be regulated for the greater benefit of the
ruling elites, dictators, monarchs and sheiks who claims to serve the majority groups
within a nation!!!!
 
By extension of your logic all religious conversions of the sunni muslims to other
religions should also be banned with capital punishment for the violators because
such conversion may form an embryo for future distabilazation of established
vested groups: Prevention is better than cure. However, these must be carefully
planned and boomerang-proof, becasuse ISLAM IS THE FASTEST GROWING RELIGION
IN THE WORLD !
  
Mr. Mufassil Islam should thank President George W. Bush for overthrowing godless
Saddam Hussein who was planning to distablize Arabian Peninsula by replacing Saudi
dynasty with Hashemite kings, said to be the rightful rulers of Hijaz.

This is another porpagating attempt to distabilise the kingdom which was
founded on the very difference between Sunni and Shia Islam. Ofcourse
the nation has advantages guaranteed for Sunnis and we want the cradle of
Sunni Islam to be that way. If they don't like it - they can always go to Iran.

Islam Bhai, this is one of the most derogatory remarks you made or i read against my will, against a community, as you claim to be a human right activist.
 
Though I don't have much respect for those 'champion of human rights' group often preached under shoddy principles and critically targets small crime or ethnic oppression under governemnts mostly supported by the western mega powers but remain silent or overlooks the big crimes that causes the greater human population to suffer and systemic denigrattion.
 
Being a sunny state or of majority sunny population the shiya muslim should not suffer because of some kind of chauvinism. It is contrary to Islamic justic and prophetic traditions.
Suggesting the Shiya to move to Iran is simply outragrious, they have the full right to live in their birth place and make no mistake with equal rights like other citizen. You are suppose to raise your voice when their rights are neglected. Think.
