USA repeatedly insults Indians

A young girl of an Indian diplomat Krittika was subjected to inhuman, atrocious, torturous and illegal confinement by US authorities for an offence committed by a Chinese. The US police have no courage to touch the criminal for fear of strong reactions from China. But it was bold enough to wreck and harass the innocent girl overstepping even diplomatic etiquette and immunity. This is the true face of democracy America propounds all over. Had we a tough leader we would have twisted the arrogant arms of the USA in the face of our economic prowess. Access to vast Indian market should be used as a strategy to make them respect our citizens. Militarily also the Americans must not err to club us at par with Pakistan. Our defence personnel are second to none. The problem is that we have not been getting inspiring leadership that is firm, courageous and that has respect not for itself but also for the people of this country. India is now called a soft state an euphuism for timid and demoralizing attributes. The leadership may be inapt but our people are brave and great

Pataliputra once ruled Abbotabad

Abbotabad in Pakistan has now become (in) famous for all the wrong reasons related to Osama Bin Laden. But I see the place through a different angle. This place is historically important to us as it has stone-inscriptions of the Ashokan era. This archeological monument stands witness to the fact that we ruled up to Afganistan including the picturesque Waziristan now cursed to house the barbaric Taliban and Al qaida terrorists.

Madri from now western Pakistan and Gandhari from Kandhar in Afganistan were wives of King Pandu and King Dhritrastra who guided the destiny of the territory. The famous Takshila (Taxila) was one the 16 provinces of Ashoka who ruled from Pataliputra.
The Ved-vani ( holy rendering of the Vedas) permeated the ambience of the area.

But alas! the enemies of humanity have defiled the serene, pure, demure and natural surroundings.
