Kashmir Conflict

The Kashmir conflict ongoing in the state of Jammu & Kashmir is also worth noting in the context of the Shia Sunni divide.
Like I have analysed earlier, most of India is 'Shia mentality' and Jammu & Kashmir is also of 'Shia mentality'. But there are vast sections of India which are 'dilly-dallying' portions and they provide the bulk of 'mercenaries' or more popularly 'armed forces' to defend Kashmir from 'foreign influence'.
It is in strategic interests of India to keep the attention of West focused on Pakistan and Afghanistan and Af-Pak border. It makes strategic sense for India to focus its efforts to make the west focus its efforts on the Western border of Pakistan.
Apart from Shia Sunni conflict which India Pakistan conflict actually is. Let us not think religion for now. India is 'mostly Shia' and Pakistan is 'mostly Sunni'.
Now Jammu & Kashmir is Shia no doubt about that. People from Kashmir are in three minds actually, to be with India, to be with Pakistan or stay independent. Of the three issues, staying independednt is not an option according to me, it would not be acceptable to either India or Pakistan.
So it has to be either with 'Shia' India or 'Sunni' Pakistan.
Everybody knows about the conflict between Shias and Sunnis but we have to acknowledge that the conflict between 'Shia and Shia' and 'Sunni and Sunni'.
Between 'like minded parties' there is conflict as well and it is no less bloodier as we can see the conflict in Kashmir going on for more than two decades.
Ultimately only one will prevail and that is what the conflict is all about.
The conflict is about who will 'inherit the earth' or that portion of the earth.
Pakistan is Sunni and may face a lot of resistance from Shia Kashmiris. Let us not think religion for now. What they are 'deep inside', that is what will describe them whether they are Shia or Sunni.
Also, since India has several potions of the land where there is a Shia-Sunni mix, India will have no problem in findling 'promising foot soldiers' even if Sunni to defend Kashmir from Pakistan.
It would then become a case of 'foot soldier from Sunni Pakistan' against 'foot soldier from Sunni India'. Thus it would be Sunni vs Sunni in the land belonging to Shia Kashmiris.
Trust me people, what I have written here will not be like solve the problem. But one step in solving a problem is understanding the problem. We cannot just say things are like this and that. There are a lot of factors we need to look into.
Ultimately, the world does not want the 'Sunnis to triumph'. We can see that in Egypt and Palestine and elsewhere. Similarly is the case in Kashmir. India's interests are best served if the world is following what it is following elsewhere and not 'change the rules' in Indian subcontinent for Kashmir.

Modi and Bihar

The way Modi is targeting Bihar is worth noting.
We know that general elections are coming in India in 2014 and whoever wins in the election will get to 'rule over India' for the next five years.
Now everybody knows that Modi supporters are quite active in the social networking world. We also know that their are many press reporters who are tacit supporters of Modi and BJP and write articles 'favoring them'.
Modi and BJP they know that one state which holds the key and that is the state of Bihar. They are out there in full force to defeat Nitish Kumar and ensure that Congress does not benefit from Nitish's loss and the benefit goes to BJP and Modi.
If you look at my analysis earlier, Bihar is one of the 'dilly-dallying' state and everyone knows since India's independence that whichever way the two states of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh go, the Indian Govt. goes that way. In other words, these states 'dictate' who will form the Govt at center though not directly but indirectly through the 'ballot'.
In recent times, South Indian states are able to form an 'anti-axis' to Bihar and UP. And it has been observed that whichever way the South Indian states go that dictate the Govt. getting formed at the Center.
And Modi is a notch different for South Indian folks. Firstly Modi belongs to Gujarat which is a Gujarati speaking state and not Hindi speaking. In India there is an ongoing conflict.
Though Hindi is the most widely spoken and widely recognized/understood language in India, no one wants to declare it or accept it as a national language. And it is mainly those non-Hindi states including states of South India.
For them Modi is a 'non-Hindi belt' leader and that immediately becomes acceptable to non-Hindi states.
So Modi will face little resistance to become PM from South Indian states and East Indian states both which are non-Hindi states. In the case of East India, Naveen Pattnaik and Mamta Banerjee may ultimately support Modi on the same count of his being a non-Hindi belt leader.
Here in 2014, Maharshtra may hold the key. Everybody knows that there is a hidden conflict between Maharashtrians and Gujaratis. Which way Maharashtra goes may be decider to decide whether Modi becomes PM.
That is why Modi is targeting Bihar and if Modi wins the heart and minds of Biharis in the heartland of Biharis, there would be little anyone can do to stop him from grabbing the PM seat in Delhi.
Many Biharis are there in Mumbai and Delhi and they may ultimately support Modi if Modi wins Bihar. UP is no doubt there. UP is no doubt an active place for politics due to the Ram Janambhoomi case.
Also, Telangana would be formed which was the BJP dream since beginning as BJP may stand to gain tremendously from Telangana as it had only a minuscule presence in united Andhra Pradesh.
Thus BJP and Modi knows that Bihar being a 'very populous state' and where 'it has to go alone' holds the key to Modi becoming PM.

Analysis of Indian States: Shia or Sunni.

Here I will try to analyst Indian states according to my perspective whether they are Shia or Sunni.
And remember I am not talking about Muslim and religion.
As I have said earlier India is mostly Shia.
In broad definition, Shia is someone who places emphasis on family and tradition and culture and does not want much change.
Sunnis want change and place less emphasis on family ties and more on work and tasks.
Generally in India we can find a mixture of Shia and Sunni culture in the States. We can classify the states as below:
Category I: Fully Shia : Greater than 90% Shia mentality. 
Category II: Mostly Shia : Greater than 50% Shia mentality. Shia still in majority. Sunnis in minority.
Category III: Mostly Sunni : Greater than 50% Sunni mentality. Shia in minority.
Category IV: Dilly-dallying states : These states do not identify themselves as Shia and Sunni and though they can be Sunni in their outlook but by simply 'existing in India' they become under the Shias.
States in Category I
Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Odisha, West Bengal, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Tripura.
States in category II
Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Delhi, Assam.
States in category III
Karnataka
States in Category IV
Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, Bihar, rest of North East (excluding Assam and Tripura), Goa, Pondicherry, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, rest of the remaining county.
Thus according to me only Karnataka is like Sunni to me and my analysis.
And BJP is trying to bring in Sunni system under Modi. Meanwhile, in 2013 elections, BJP lost Karnataka but at that time BJP was under Advani and not Modi.
Thus my analysis is if BJP had come under Modi earlier, than BJP would not have lost Karnataka which according to me is the 'only predominantly Sunni state' in India.
And my observation is that conflict between Shia and Shia or between Sunni and Sunni is more deadlier than between Shia and Sunni.
We can see in history also. Iranian revolution was a conflict between Islamic Shias in Iran and Capitalist Shias led and backed by US.
Soviet invasion in Afghanistan was a conflict between Islamic Sunnis (Mujaheedins) and Athiest Sunnis (Communists).
Maoists are Sunnis and they are against Indian state which is Shia. Nepal is Shia but the Maoists in Nepal are Sunnis. We can analyse the entire world and its conflicts as Shia or Sunni.
We can say that the entire African countries/continent including North Africa are like Sunnis except maybe the country South Africa.

Facebook banner ads

I will say as I have said earlier that the way Facebook "lurks around" in the form of banner ads is really bad and if Facebook is reading this I will request you to stop targeting me with banner ads.
I do not want banner ads. Those banner ads are better being flushed down the toilet.
Facebook kindly leave me alone.
You are pure evil and I do not want to do anything with an evil medium.
Do not target me with banner ads. I will never join you again. My life may get snuffed out of me but I will not join you.
Go. Get out of my face. You may "rule the earth" and billion people may bend down on their knees for you but I won't and do not want to do anything with you.
You may think you are the 'greatest gift to human race' but you are not. You may think you are 'the greatest invention' for this earth but you are not.
And even if I do not want still you come in my face while I am reading my mail on yahoo.
Why? Just mark my words I have nothing to do with you.
Earlier I was with Facebook and it was my mistake. Kindly remember I do not want to repeat my mistakes.
For me Facebook is like 'feces' book if you know what feces mean. Hence, do not trouble me.
I am oscillating between begging you, requesting you and warning you. But I can't do all at the same time. I can be either a beggar or a 'tough nut to crack' but not both at the same time.
Whatever you say, I do not want you near me or me near you.
Like they say, "Chal chal apna raasta naapo." That means "go mind your own business" and do not trouble me.

Ego maniac

I will say the way Modi is building a huge Sardar Vallabhai Patel statue smacks of egoism and his selfish pride for himself and 'his state of Gujarat'.
This is nothing but a sheer waste of public money. Even Sardar V.Patel would not have liked it thats what I feel.
Just like people have made idols of Saibaba and worshiping them with elaborate 'Hindu rituals', so is the case of Sardar Patel. Sai Baba origins are not known whether he was Muslim or Hindu but the way he is being worshiped is like Hindu. During his life Sai baba led a very simple ascetic life. But now, he is 'bathed with gold' so as to speak with gold throne and gold crown and so on. Would Sai Baba have liked it. I don't think so.
Similarly Modi is building a huge statue so by using Sardar Patel name he wants to override the contributions of the Nehru-Gandhi. There is no doubt that at a national level which family has contributed the most the growth of 'India as a nation'. It is no doubt the Nehru-Gandhi family. Modi wants to build a huge Sardar Patel statue and thus negate the contribution of the 'actual living entities'.
Eveyone made a lot of sacrifices in Nehru-Gandhi family. Smt Indira Gandhi was assassinated and so was Rajiv Gandhi. They paid the ultimate price. They did so for the 'unity and integrity' of India.
Now Modi what he is doing smacks of regionalism and showing that "Gujaratis are the most superior".
Okay, Sardar Patel was a national leader and not just Gujarati leader, else, Gujarat would have been independent country.
Modi is copying the big statue of a Tamil poet in Kanyakumari built by Tamil Nadu in the past. Tell me is 'copying Tamils' the best option for Modi? Can he not think for the entire country?
Let us not forget because of Tamil politicians only, Rajiv Gandhi thought of intervening in Sri Lanka by sending 'Indian Peace Keeping Force'. If their leaders would have gone to Delhi and 'cried' in front of the 'Supreme leader', tell me what were the options available for the 'supreme leader'. Now the same Tamils want Modi as CM. I have a honest belief that many Tamils deep inside their hearts are supporting Modi.
Now recently, there was a big Cyclone in Odisha. Can Modi not give the funds being spent for the big statue for cyclone relief or re-building of people's lives?
If he really wants to build a big statue why not build one for Lord Vishnu or Lord Shiva because that is what Modi represents (i.e. the VHP and RSS) and if one believes them as God, no person is bigger than them.
Modi does not want to build a statue for himself else he will fall in the direct target of social activists and others. Thus he is making a statue for a 'son of Gujarat' who is 'long gone' and no one target Modi personally for this. Modi wants to be remembered 100 or 500 years from now as a great person. Nothing wrong with that. But tell me is this 'greatness'?
I will say that the way the Sikhs are hell bent on building a memorial for Indira Gandhi's assassins are justified if we see Modis actions.

Additional points

For my last few posts I am creating this post for additional points rather than editing those.
After that I am planning to start a new blog as the present blog has reached 100 posts which according to me is a post too many. It is like it is almost full. Though Google servers may hold a billion posts or more without any issues, I have to draw a line for myself.
Hence, this could be the last post in this "Hi from Anup4002" blog.

Regarding yesterday's cricket match. With India's win, it should be more of a joy for Australia and England than India. Because, they have successfully 'trained and imparted the knowledge' to 'Indian natives' who were little more than illiterate, like savages, tribal or semi-tribal, ignorant of the world, backward thinking people.
Thus it is a success for the colonisers that not only are they (the natives) able to play cricket but they are able to play it well. So well, that they can defeat them. It is like a father should be proud when his son beats him. The case is somewhat similar.
Also recently, Australia withdrew its forces from Afghanistan. It is like 'job done' for Australia. That 'job done' means that they have 'properly imparted knowledge and training' to Afghans to 'take care of themselves'. Same case with India though it is a few decades separated that's all.

In yesterday i.e. 30th October Bigg Boss episode, there was an ironical situation. And it was that Andy was 'voted out' on Tuesday for discussing Tanisha and Arman nominations by using code words and creating a 'bloc' on Monday. Later on Wednesday he sat near Arman and Tanisha and the very same people defended him.
Thus the people whom you think are your friends may not be your friends and may turn against you anytime and that is a lesson we get in this life. People whom you consider as your enemies may be your friends without you knowing about it. And Andy should also get this lesson.

Also watched two more movies.
"Phata Poster Nikla Hero" and "Ye Jawani hai Devani".
Both movies are okay. Phata becomes phata actually mainly because I feel he has not used the songs in a proper manner. In Hindi movies, it is very difficult to get big hits without good songs. But ocassionally, come a few movies which though have good songs are unable to make it big. Phata is that kind of a movie.
Jawani is like Karan Johar movie. People are crying but you do not know what they are crying for. The characters have got all they want in this world and still they cry. Both movies can be watched once without any issues. But second time, my request is Think Twice about it.

Yay India Won.

Yes people India won. What did India win?
India won yesterday's one-day cricket match against Australia. But according to me there is nothing to be happy about.
If someone is to get happy, it can only be England and Australia and the so called Christian countries or whose history is predominantly Christian based. Why? Because as earlier I have discussed, the game of cricket is mostly a Christian game. The wickets behind the batsmen are 'like cross'.
Thus India was able to 'defend the cross' to the fullest. Thus 'India now deserves the knighthood'.
India has proved once again that is a 'very smart and talented foot-soldier' of the Commonwealth (led by Britain).
People who invented or devised the game must have initially put cross and then the batsmen would have to 'defend the cross'. It could be either 'defending the cross' or 'defending the grave'. As we know, all Christian graves are marked with cross symbol. In that case either, the batsman is standing on the grave or the wicketkeeper.
And it could be that if the batsman is standing on the grave of someone and he is as though defending it be standing on top of it. It could be that the 'soul of the deceased' can enter the batsman and he is taking charge of the batsman's actions.
It is the same thing like in football whose origins some say was when people used to play 'football' with the 'severed heads' of the enemies in the Middle Ages.
In cricket, due to practical reasons the cross then went on to become the 'wickets that it is'. There would be fights because you do not know if the cross was hit by the ball or not which in cricket is out.
It was simpler to devise three sticks and keep bales so that if the 'bales fall off' you know that the player is 'out'.

Meanwhile, Pakistan also played a match with South Africa in UAE. And it lost by 1 run.
Hmm. Does this sound like match fixing? It does to me.
Match fixing works by keeping the betters and bookies guessing till the last minute as to who will win the match.
Now since, India has IPL, India has many avenues to 'fix matches' and make money. But Pakistan has been kept out of international play and Pakistani players are banned from IPL which means that they do not get much 'avenue to make money'.
Money that is made illegally through betting and fixing the matches and twisting the outcomes of whatever little matches they get to play and that too in 'foreign lands'.
