Woe Betide a Polity ...
by H.N. Bali
... Whose Government Knows Not
How to Honor Those Who Do it Proud. Soldiers live and die for izzat – that untranslatable concept that symbolizes at once a sense of pride in one’s calling, a resolve to uphold professional traditions built over years by human sweat and blood, an unflinching determination to vanquish the aggressor and, above all, to live up to the exhortation of the Gita (IV:8): vinashaye cha dushkritam. And nothing symbolizes all this better than the Bangladesh War in December 1971 under the leadership of Gen. Sam Manekshaw to end the repression and genocide in Eastern Pakistan. Read On

Karmas as Dharma:
A Hindu Point of View
by P C K Prem

A man never exists in vacuum and while living he has to exist in the already obtainable surroundings. He inherits social, economic and religious life the moment he takes birth and this situation becomes a learning school for him from the day he begins crawling and mumbling in apparent innocent selfless smile with light of hope and curiosity in the eyes.

Kashmir Remains Core Issue!
by Rajinder Puri
The prospect of a meaningful peace dialogue with Pakistan has become faintly visible after Nawaz Sharif became PM of Pakistan. If India is serious about achieving a breakthrough in the dialogue this time around the moment to undertake some hard contingency planning is now. Whatever the modalities of a future dialogue, and however cooperative the Pak army might prove to be, no real breakthrough in the peace talks can occur without resolving the dispute over Kashmir.

Nagzira Forest:
Encounter with the Big-Cats
by Indrajit Bandyopadhyay
Nagzira Wildlife Sanctuary (Longitude 790 58’ E to 800 11’ E; Latitude 210 12’ N to 210 21’ N) in the state of Maharashtra in India has great importance from the point of view of bio-diversity conservation, and has been becoming a popular destination for wildlife lovers, bird watchers and even “picnic tourists” for the last five years, though it is still lesser known comparative to other renowned sanctuaries.

Inside Boloji
Kudos for Arvind Kejriwal? by Rajinder Puri When Mr. Arvind Kejriwal announced the formation of his Aam Admi Party I criticized his decision for being premature. My reasoning was that to create a genuine national alternative and not merely a new party additional to the fifty plus already existing there was need first to have a nationwide movement to propagate an agenda and recruit adherents for creating an organizational structure. But Mr. Kejriwal formed and plunged his new party into the forthcoming Delhi assembly elections. How is his party performing up till now? Read On	The Man Who Exorcised the Specter of Coups by H.N. Bali If ever there was an Army Commander who, because of his huge popularity, could have effected a coup at any time, and yet most scrupulously not only refused to do so but laid the foundation of a new functional civil-military equation for which the nation should ever be grateful to him, it was India’s first Field Marshal, Sam Manekshaw. Posterity would, indeed, judge his role as of epochal importance, and that of the political leadership of the time as crassly petty-minded for treating him shabbily after his retirement. Read On	Indian Doctors Whip Up Medical Breakthroughs by Ramesh Menon India throws up surprises all the time. It is an amazing country. It does not have the best medical research facilities in the world. The medical fraternity in fact, struggle with the basics in numerous govt hospitals that await finance for expansion plans. Read On
Leonardo da Vinci by Dr. KS Raghavan Leonardo da Vinci, born on 15th April 1452, was an Italian Renaissance Polymath (Painter, Sculptor, Anatomist, Cartographer, Engineer, Inventor, Musician, Botanist etc.,.). He is considered to be the greatest genius of all times. His works in all fields indicate that his knowledge was much ahead of his times. He had prepared drawings of advanced engineering items such as flying machines. Read On	What Does China Want? by Rajinder Puri There is widespread speculation about China’s motives after its troops encroached into Ladakh and camped there before the forthcoming visit of the Chinese Premier Mr. Li Keqiang. I present my take on the subject. I know of course that it is only of academic interest. It is futile to discuss foreign policy as long as moronic puppets continue to dominate India’s political scene. Read On	Management of Power The Mahabharatan Perspective by Maj. Gen. Shekhar Sen Power, said Mao Tse Tung, grows out of the barrel of a gun. Throughout the history of human existence, mankind has suffered from the truth of this statement repeatedly and bitterly. Dictators and autocrats have subjected innocent people to a sanguinary demonstration of raw power in their quest for political supremacy. Read On
Outdoors is a Great Teacher by Garima Gupta The problem with most families is that there are no safe outdoors anymore where a child could be left alone. An outdoor time for the kid, invariably translates into outdoor time for one of the parent too. And time, as we learn after growing up, is indeed precious. Not, however, more precious than our little ones. A five year old can ... Read On	Doing Away with Corruption – Are We Ready? by Rati Hegde Most of us do not want to take ‘No’ for an answer. While I do agree that given our population, it is difficult to get our work done on time, but that should not be the reason for our embracing the culture of corruption. We need to learn to be more systematic in our work and our personal life. Read On	Advent of Dharma by BS Murthy As opposed to the purported revelation of the God’s ‘chosen path’ to man through some messiah, which forms the basis of the Semitic faiths, the essence of Hinduism has been for one to adhere to his dharma, supposedly sanctified by Gods in communion with the seers. And dharma, though varies from man to man, per se is the common course for the salvation of the souls. It is this salient feature ...Read On
Lunch in Patiala, NY, USA by H.N. Bali Before you have your lunch in Patiala, let me tell you about two endearing attributes of the American way of life. These are two e’s: eclecticism and entrepreneurship — and the very warp and woof of the much-envied American Dream. A word of explanation about both and the role these have played in shaping the American civilization Read On	Why I Am An Atheist? by Bhagat Singh A new question has cropped up. Is it due to vanity that I do not believe in the existence of an omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient God? I had never imagined that I would ever have to confront such a question. But conversation with some friends has given me, a hint that certain of my friends, if I am not claiming too much in thinking them ...

It is grown in the western India, Gujarat, MP, Punjab and in Himalayas. Ashwagandha gets its name because its roots have the odor of horse. (Ashwa = horse, gandha = odor). Read On
