35th attempt in less than a year.
132-plus infiltration attempts again, in less than a year.

Says this Indian Express report.

Less than a fortnight after Pakistan promised to stop cross-border firing, its troops on Tuesday shelled Indian posts, again violating the ceasefire along the Line of Control in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir…The ceasefire violation and [...]

I spent most of the last week working behind the scenes to foolproof my blog against its periodic bursts of becoming not reachable. Hence I haven’t really dwelt upon the new mischief concerning Malegaon. Meanwhile, here’s Chandan Mitra, on how the media and secular fundamentalists creates bogyes because they have no concrete evidence to brand [...]

Kanchan Gupta’s superb piece on why it won’t pay to give Iran the non-permanent security council seat. The foremost, nay only reason is the rabid Ahmadinejad, who thundered thus at the General Assembly.
The dignity, integrity and rights of the American and European people are being played with by a small but deceitful number of [...]

The news of “braveheart” MC Sharma’s tragic death is a few hours old now. Another story of a firehearted warrior dying on the call of duty, etc. Three points strike immediately.

Kanchan Gupta, in the Pioneerabout why it doesn’t pay to ignore and/or deny the real threat of Islamofascism, how it is similar if not the same, across the world.

Elections in India is fun time because you can mudsling at will and get away with it. That was the case when the Italian bosswoman christened Modi as Maut ka Saudagar (Death Broker). Now that the actual maut ka saudagars have struck in the same Modi’s state, will the bosswoman call a spade a spade [...]

My Dear Dr. Manmohan Singh,
I don’t care if you read much less respond to this. You are after all, another inconsequential pawn who might be remembered by posterity in the same breath as Ambhi , and Jaichand.
I’m writing this because it is still not too late for you to develop a spine. I’m writing this [...]
