Encounter Specialists: A Flaw In The Police Force

Noreen — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 05:35:36 +0000

An ‘encounter’ would normally connote an unexpected meeting of two people or groups of people, usually adversaries. Can there be specialists who specialise in unexpected confrontations? Hardly likely. The term ‘encounter specialists’, therefore, is a misnomer that doesn’t sound right but assuages the fears of the urban middle class.

Corruption in the police department, slow moving judiciary system and immense pressure from the public has given rise to the new breed of ‘encounter specialists’ in the police force.

India is soft on Chinese intrusions in Ladakh: Thupstan Chhewang

Noreen — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 13:21:30 +0000

In a recent interview Thupstan Chhewang, the chairman of the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council, showed concern that India is being too soft on China on the border issues. Where China is not just aggressive about keeping their side of the border areas but also forcefully occupying some of the Indian side too, India is just shying away from facing the problem.

China is boldly claiming rich pasture regions in Chumur and Skagjung in Ladakh as their land and chasing away local tribes from there, while the Indian army is shying away from the problem, and is advising the nomads from Changthang to stay away from there. In Dungti, a motorable bridge was constructed to take cattle for grazing on the other side of Indus which is well within the Indian borders. However, China objected to it and it had to be removed.
The Chinese ends, on the other hand, are overtly possessive about their border areas. Chhewang relates, about four or five years ago Chinese patrol chased an Indian party four or five kilometers inside the Indian side of the Pangong Lake. They captured the crew of the Indian boat, and took them prisoner.

In 2005 the Indian government agreed to exchange some of the uninhabited places like Aksai Chin, with the Chinese. Chhewang questions such timid moves from the government. He argues that Ladakh is a vast region and the population very sparse; there is much vacant land which does not mean it is useless and can be given away.

On one side India is fighting for every inch of its border with Pakistan, while it is turning a blind eye where it shares its borders with China. All Indian territories should be protected equally whether in public eye or not, after all we are paying our taxes so our land can be protected from intruders all alike.

Malaysian Indians suspicious of the MoU between Malaysia and India

Noreen — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 16:51:49 +0000

The Indian Union Cabinet, on 21 March, gave the green signal to sign the memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Malaysian government to protect the rights of the emigrant workers, mainly skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled workers, from India. The conditions of the Indian workers are deplorable and after constant appeal from the Indian government to intervene on their behalf, finally help is on the way.

However, Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) leader P Waytha Moorthy is unhappy with the decision. He alleges that there are workers of many nationalities in Malaysia and a MoU with India will create discrimination between foreign workers in Malaysia.

Moorthy, against whom an arrest warrant has been issued, also believes the MoU is Malaysian government’s ploy to keep India from voicing against the fifty years of atrocities enacted upon the Malaysian Indians.

Hindraf leader has urged the Malaysian government to seriously consider it’s 18 point demand to implement measures to uplift the economic conditions of the Malaysian Indians and stop violence against them.

This fight has given Hindraf leverage over Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC), an influential Indian political party in Malaysia, and has become the ‘new voice’ of an estimated two million Malaysians of Indian origin.

Arthur C. Clark, known to many as a science fiction author of 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was later adapted as a film by Stanley Kubrick. He was also famous for introducing the concept of geostationary communication satellite in 1945, which became a thing of ridicule at that time, but we know better now that Clark was way ahead of his time. He is a visionary in the best described words. An avowed atheists most of his work is related to the existence of human on earth and their powers to evolve through science and technology.

Foreign Tourists Play With Fire In India

Noreen — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 11:57:38 +0000

The rise in alleged crimes against foreign tourist in India has given a bad reputation to the Indian tourism and invited strong criticism from world over. It is an issue that no doubt needs urgent attention from the government and local authorities of popular tourist spots. Definite and effective precautionary measures must be taken to protect foreign tourists coming to India. However, one must remember that the problem is not one-sided, if one plays with fire one is bound to get burnt.

Most of the foreign tourists who come to India are from developed countries like USA, UK, France, etc., where the local environment is much safer with law and order facilities prompt and much more reliable compared to developing countries like India. When foreigners come to India they move around with similar nonchalance like they do in their own country. Either they are not aware or perhaps cannot imagine in what ways they can be victim to a crime. Even Indians in India take care not to venture into the interiors of areas they are not familiar with. It is common knowledge and part of survival kit to be careful in a strange place.
On the other hand, foreign tourists throw all caution to the winds and try to live like locals do without the slightest idea what the local culture is all about. On top of that, they are dealing in drugs, which is not exactly lawful in any society. In India it is a serious offense and one crosses over to the criminal side when dealing with narcotics, in which case they are bound to get hurt.
