EDITORIAL
Team GGI heartily pay tributes to all our readers, supporters, volunteers and
well wishers on their unforgettable help in making the magazine a reality, as a
need in the current climate of ‘Information Chasm’ that exists inside India. We
want to inform one and all that in order to bring the whole truth concerning
past and present events of India that bear remarkable influence on the future
of our own and coming generations, we decided to institutionalize our effort
in the form of a structured organization. Hopefully this effort materializes by
the next publication of GGI.
The previous and the coming months can be marked as critical in the context
of Indian politics, due to the reason that in last month, once again the cou-
rageous Bose family members came out to public with the correspondence of
Bose with them until 1949 and much more has been revealed. A remarkable
feat indeed in India, where, in current times, speaking truth is dangerously
impractical and lying, is worldly intelligence. The coming November is ano-
ther important month because truth regarding the events surrounding 26/11
Mumbai Attacks are yet to be unfolded. The current issue of GGI tries to throw
some light on these two issues to jump start the process of questions in quest
of truth.
Team GGI, also want to bring out a couple of magazines to spread the knowle-
dge of our cultural scientific heritage and understanding of the theoretical and
design strategy of statecraft from international and local perspectives under
the upcoming organizational set up. In the long history of foreign invasions on
India many powers tried to destroy our cultural, scientific heritage and plun-
dered our resources. Since the advent of British it became a norm to blame
one particular segment of people for the destruction; history from then on
was re-written to reflect this idea and it mainly served the current parochial
political interests and British political interest now and then. What we conve-
niently forgot was Portuguese and British destroyed number of temples and
other scientific centers and looted more money from India than all other fo-
reign invasions put together. In fact it was the British in the name of scientific
cartographic studies climbed on to the top of every temple and in the process
destroyed many structures. Most of this blame was thrown by British on non
existing Islamic invaders. It was easy for the British to do this as they funded
and controlled the information flow to the history departments, teachers, and
the publishing centers of history books. One simple example is sufficient to
throw light on this.
It was told to us that the Aditya Sun Temple of Multan or Mūla Sthāna was
looted and destroyed by Arabs especially ‘Imād ad-Dīn Muhammad bin Qāsim
ath-Thaqafī. This has been attributed to early historians such as Elliot, Cou-
sens, Majumdar and Vaidya.
However, actual push into the Sindh region had been out of favor as an Arab

Volume 01 Issue 02 | 3
policy since the time of the Rashidun Caliph Umar bin Khattab, who upon re-
ceipt of reports of it being an inhospitable and poor land, had stopped further
expeditionary ventures into region.
Later historians, as described by Stanley Lane-Poole, in The Medieval India
(published in 1970 by Haskell House Publishers Ltd), noted that Qāsim was
“liberal”. He imposed the customary poll tax, took hostages for good conduct
and spared people’s lives and lands. He even left their shrines un-desecrated.
In the words of Qāsim, ‘The temples; he proclaimed, shall be inviolate, like
the perimeter of the Christians, the synagogues of the Jews and altars of the
Magians(the Persians who worshipped fire)’. Yet other accounts from Arabic
and Persians sources describe that he never left Arabia as there was a power
struggle between Umayyad and others and due to his close relationship with
Hajjaj, (a governor in Umayyad Caliphate) Bin Qāsim was executed after the
accession of Caliph Sulayman ibn Abd al-Malik. Only in India we believe that
this 18 year old kid travelled with considerable army while his uncle was in
power struggle, to sack Sindh and call Indians as Hindus as he cannot pro-
nounce ‘Sa’ and went back all the way to Arabia to get executed. We are not
denying the fact that Aditya Sun temple in Multan was destroyed and looted.
But the question is by whom and why?
Multan Sun Temple is part of 12 such massive temple complexes built as as-
tronomical observatories all around Kashmir. The time that took to destroy
Vijayanagara capital Hampi was only six months while, it is said that it took
over a year to destroy another such Sun temple in Anantnāg called Mārtānda
Sun temple complex, but, its base foundations are still intact even now. In the
same stretch, a massive temple complex which was built over a sprawling 25
square kilometers perimeter - the Lepākshi Temple complex was damaged by
British engineers in the name of scientific study. This temple had a marriage
hall built on four pillars and none of the pillars were touching the ground. It
was believed that this structure was built on magnetic di-pole principle. Post
independence, the entire temple complex was damaged by Indians themsel-
ves leaving a small structure, over a period of 66 years.
If we allow British trained Indian historians to write history, after 50 years
they will blame unborn Qāsims’ grandson/sons for the destruction of Lepākshi
and many other similar temple complexes. We are also presenting a glimpse
of the research that we did on Lepakshi temple site in this issue.
To put an end to these type of misconceptions Team GGI has initiated a pro-
ject under Veda Vāhini, a concept to link seekers to all possible knowledge
sources where the study of all such structures that held scientific secrets and
manifests the real concept of ‘Unity in Diversity’.
We pay our gratitude to all our well wishers and critiques for helping us find
the whole truth about ourselves. We request our readers to support our initia-
tives atleast by sharing our work with as many as possible, so that the whole
truth comes out not from the colored lenses of British but from the facts as
.
they roll in

THE HEROIC SAGA:

THE ESCAPE, EXILE &
DEATH OF BOSE
In a bizarre twist of events the current Prime Minister of India has stated that
he would ask all the countries that classified Bose files to de-classify, starting
unbelievably with Russia. As per the official government version Bose’s plane was
supposedly crashed in Burma. His dead body supposedly buried in Japan. So why ask
the Russians to declassify Bose’s files?

reason behind their silence? Even if we assume
he died in 1949, where was he for the long four
years from 1945-1949? Was he in Burma, or Ja-
pan or British jails, or, in Indian jails? Did he die
in India? If so, who performed his funeral? If he
passed away outside India, then where was he
buried? Did the British rulers, the British Intelli-
gence know about Bose, as they controlled most
of the communication channels during and after
World War-II?
If only the British administration knew the truth
and kept the Indian leaders under wraps, then,
once the British left India, did the continued Bri-
tish civil and intelligence administration in India
lied to their politicians through every commission
till 1990 that Bose was killed in a plane crash in
1945 and that he was buried in Japan? Who gave
the information to all the commissions? Why
was crores of public money wasted in commis-
sions when they knew he was alive in some jail
in some country? Or, knowing the fact that Bose
was alive, did the money go into the coffers of
politicians and corrupt officials to just reprint and
re-edit the ‘first commission report’ with the date
changed, while running the farce of enquiry? If
it was the Indian administration, who passed on
the information and to whom? Why India never
considered the report of the Japanese doctor who
claimed that the dead body was not of Bose? Did
not the report touch the ears of any patriot in
this country? If it touched, then, was there no
patriot who ever bothered to solve the mystery
of the death of their great leader who sacrificed
his life for the country, that too when they were
hinted by the doctor’s report? Why India showed
no interest when Anita Bose claimed her father
S. Bose had been communicating till 1949? What
was the reason behind the silence of the Indian
leaders after acquiring information about a pa-
triotic leader of India? If Bose died in 1949, then,
why was his daughter campaigning to get her fa-
ther back, lobbying both in India and Germany?
Does that seem to be senseless or that she knew
something? How could they simply let go this is-

sue and why simply argue on the acceptance or
denial of Anita being the daughter of Bose?
If it is assumed that Bose took a flight from Anda-
man or Nagaland, it must be a military air-craft.
Between Andaman and Nagaland and Burma,
there were no antiaircraft guns because that area
was already under the control of Bose. The only
destination he could have flown from Andaman
is to Japan. If he was flying out of Nagaland or
Burma, the flight path will be over China.
What happened to the plane that Bose took from
Burma? Was the plane shot down or force lan-
ded? If it was shot down, was any investigation
done on the plane debris and fallout or was it ig-
nored like Homi Bhabha’s flight accident? If force
landed, where was it landed and why? Who had
the capability to shoot Bose’s plane, or force land
it?
In 1945 there were no anti-aircraft missiles but
only anti-aircraft guns whose effective range was
a maximum of 3000 meters. British, even now do
not have long range bombers that can fly across
Pacific and Indian oceans and shoot down planes.
Can we then imagine they could do that in 1945?
British air force was reduced to skeletal number
and only three long range aircrafts that could fly
in to India were left at the end of the war. Bose
British troops of the Suffolk Regiment are held at gunpoint
by Subhas Chandra Bose’s Indian National Army after the
capitulation of Allied forces in Singapore, on 15 February
1942. It is regarded as the “worst disaster” and “largest
capitulation” in British military history.

flew back in Mitsubishi bomber, one of the best
of its kind in those days with a flying range of
30000 feet ceiling which is beyond the range of
any anti-aircraft guns. Didn’t the experienced Ja-
panese pilots file the flight path of Bose with Ja-
panese War Ministry and also inform their Ameri-
can counterparts on that? If Bose landed safely in
Japan, he would have joined the Indian freedom
fight with Gandhi and this would have altered all
equations of Congress leadership and Bose would
have become the de-facto leader of Congress in
negotiating for independence. In fact, against
the wishes of Gandhi too he would have won the
Congress leadership race and became the Con-
gress President. That would have altered British
plans of dividing India and blocking land passage
to Russia.
Even if we assume that Bose’s plane was shot/
crashed over Burma, which was under the con-
trol of British at that time anyway after the Se-
cond World War, why would the British take ex-
traordinary pains to convince Americans and
Japanese and allowed Japanese planes to carry
the dead body of Bose to Japan? Were not the
British trying to capture Bose alive or dead and
spent considerable amount of intelligence resour-
ces on that?
The only air force bases available at that time
were in Philippines, belonging to Americans, from
where they controlled the skies over Pacific and
Indian oceans. There were not many in-depen-
dent countries at this Pacific and Indian Ocean
regions as what we see today and most of them
were under Japan. China did not have a functio-
nal air port nor did Burma, nor did Thailand. So
the only way Bose could fly over back to Japan
from Andaman was through Philippines. Did the
Americans force land the plane because Bose was
flying in a Japanese war plane with the Japanese
military insignia? If they force landed him, it is
pretty sure that Americans knew that he was the
President and Commander in Chief of INA and
was aligned with Japan according to the Geneva
Convention, Bose would have introduced himself
as POW(Prisoner Of War).
When Bose set up the Republic of India which was
recognized by many countries, didn’t America
and others knew about it? When the whole world
knew that India came into existence, how could
anyone take a Commander in Chief into custody
and not let the world know about it? Does this not
indicate the fact that Americans have the records
of force landing the Japanese plane along with
the details of the crew? After knowing about the
crew they should have been taken to either Japan
or America for investigation. Were they taken? If
they were taken, there should be the records of
investigations too. But how surprisingly, only the
crew details are missing and there are no records
of any such investigations? What happened to the
crew? Where were they taken - to the Japanese
jail or to the Philippines jail? Or was he along with
his associates handed over to the British and they
kept him in the Burma jail to satisfy the ego of
Mountbatten? Is that why Mountbatten took the
title of ‘the Earl of Burma’ to prove to Bose in jail
that he recaptured Burma and separated it from
India? Was it that the British took possession of
Bose from the Americans and erased all the re-
cords of the crew members?
If the Japanese wanted to take him to safety,
they would have taken him from Burma itself. If
he was alive, what would make anyone hide the
fact that he was alive, unless he was thought to
be a threat for their political ambitions, and hen-
ce, colluded with British to keep him permanently
shut down? Or did the British think releasing him
will ruin their partition plans and (in)dependence
drama and the fraudulent ascension of Kingdoms
they so want to enact on the subcontinent? If at
all he died later, how did he die - slow poison?
Heart attack? Or was it the same way how Chur-
chill planned to eliminate Gandhi when he was in
jail?
On the insistence of Mountbatten, the British ad-
miralty interfered with the Americans, pressuri-
zed them to force land the plane and keep Bose
in custody till the partition of India was over, as it
served the geopolitical interests of many, except
Indians. When Americans could no longer hold
Bose, British convinced the Russians to hold him
by making them believe that Bose was an an-
ti-communist? They also promised the Russians
that Kashmir will be ascended to India and Rus-
sia will have a land access to India and that they
would end and move away from the Great Game.
They also created a false impression that Russia
was victorious in the Great Game. After this deal,
the British used their Iranian mercenaries in the
guise of Pashtu tribes to take over that part of
Kashmir, from where the land access as promi-
sed to Russia would have materialized? In order
to prove Russians that they were serious about
the land access, didn’t the British enact the who-
le drama of fraudulent accession and throw the
blame on Nehru? At that time, the Indian Army
was just 4 kms away from the temple complex
located in the place called Sharada Valley which
was the cultural and spiritual nerve center of In-
dia, and there was no resistance from any one on
the opposite side. Somehow the British preven-
ted the Indian Army from taking that place; with
the largest institutional structures and millions of
manuscripts, which would have rejuvenated the
Indian scientific cultural heritage.
With this, the land access from India to Russia
was cut off and the Russians felt betrayed. Rus-
sians, for this betrayal took revenge on Mount-
batten by supplying high power explosives to the
IRA (Irish Republican Army) rebels through the
STASI, the East German intelligence, who blew
Mountbatten and his family along with the yacht
into pieces. Can India take any such revenge on
all those who were responsible for the exile and
death of Bose and many other leaders and inno-
cent people or for many such betrayals The East
India Company subjected us to?
If Bose would have taken India, our borders
would have been from Thailand to Iran. By eli-
minating Bose, a dozen countries were created to
serve only England and Colonial masters. If Bose
could return in 1945, he would have altered the
Volume 01 Issue 02 | 9
Congress leadership and British political strate-
gy of the ‘Great Game’ and partition would have
been avoided. Was Gandhi aware of this fact?
Was it this discovery that prompted Gandhi to
dissolve Congress, which he discussed with Patel,
and of course was the last discussion between
him and Patel after which Gandhi was shot down?
The Indian National Army that was started by
Bose was supported by the Japanese. It was a
full-fledged army belonging to the Government
of India, set up in Singapore as Headquarters.
The day INA occupied Singapore; the Republic of
India was born. Subhas Chandra Bose was the
Supreme Commander of the armed forces of the
Republic of India. If at all India think of rewri-
ting her correct history, we have to accept the
fact that Subhas Chandra Bose was the first Pre-
sident of the Republic of India. The reason behind
is that Bose had never set up the Government
of India in exile but daringly occupied Singapore
and Burma and other parts of India which were
under British control; set up a government, an
administration and issued the currency.
These countries which INA took over were already
recognized as ‘Indian Republic’ and ‘Gov-ernment
of India’ by many of the South Asian countries.
From the operational headquarters of Singapo-
re, INA moved and occupied Nagaland, Assam
(Ahom) and the entire current North East area.
INA was ready to sweep into Bengal and Delhi and
also they occupied the Andaman Island. The INA
air force wing had dropped leaflets all across the
east coast cities like Chennai, Vishakhapatnam,
etc., asking the people to evacuate the cities so
that INA can burn the British Headquarters. Bose
waited for 15 days for the people to vacate since
he did not want to kill his own countrymen. There
were no strong British officers left in India at that
time to stop Bose. If everything went according
to his plan, Bose would have taken Delhi in 15
days and India would be ‘undivided India’ stret-
ching from Burma to Iran.
In the process of fighting for liberation of India,
Bose defeated the most high fly and arrogant top
10 | GREATGAMEINDIA MAGAZINE | OCT-DEC 2015
British General, Phillip Louis Mountbatten, the
Supreme Commander in Chief of the South East
Asia Command of the Allied forces. He wanted
to attack Chennai and Srilanka at the same time
crippling the British Navy. By this he wanted to
prevent the evacuation of the chief British mili-
tary and political officials from escaping out of
India whom Bose wanted to punish for human
rights atrocities committed onto Indians like the
Jallianwallah Bagh massacre. In fact, Mountbat-
ten had to shift his Headquarters from Srilanka
to England and run away for his life. It was a fo-
regone conclusion to the military circles including
in the assessment of Mountbatten, that India was
lost. But within those fifteen days, the first atom
bomb was dropped on Japan by the Americans,
being pressurized by the British who feared they
would lose India and wanted to teach a lesson to
Japan for helping Bose in the liberation of India
and making their crown jewel almost lost in the
battle field. If not, why was the atom bomb used
against Japan that too when they were already in
the process of surrendering to America?
Unlike the other presidents and commanders in
chief of war who sit in the war planning room and
direct the army operations, Bose literally lived,
fought and was ready to die with this sol-diers.
Bose’s valor can be compared to that of Baji Rao
I, who always stayed with his soldiers in the ba-
ttle-field and fought against the enemies which
earned him the title ‘The People’s General’ in the
classic quotes on history of the world warfare
written by Field Marshall Ber-nard Montgomery.
But Monty, being British, conveniently forgets to
mention Bose and his achievements just because
his Supreme Commander, Mountbatten was de-
feated by Bose.
‘The Enemy of my Enemy is my Friend’ is an old
proverb and especially true in case of war. That
is why Italians, Germans and Japanese all joined
hands against the British. So it became natural
for Bose to execute a military solution to ally with
the Japanese and Germans. As all the previous
revolt and independence fights of India with the
British were lost because of the lack of consistent
military supplies, it was logical for Bose to have
an equally powerful mili-tary partner to execute
the plans for liberation of India while every other
political party was busy begging the British for
freedom. Bose had realized way back in 1930 fo-
llowing Wavell’s telegram that British were out to
divide India into two to three nations. Poet Mo-
hamed Iq-bal was the first to formulate the con-
cept of a separate State for Muslims as early as
1930. Needless to state, that this sentiment, in
a sense, was strengthened by the Hindu extre-
mists. In 1937, in an open session of the Hindu
Mahasabha held at Ahmedabad, Savarkar, in his
presi-dential address asserted: “India cannot be
assumed today to be Unitarian and homogenous
na-tion, but on the contrary there are two na-
tions in the main - the Hindus and the Muslims.”
(Vide writings Swatantrya Veer Savarkar, Vol. 6
page 296, Maharashtra Prantiya Hindu Maha-
sabha, Pune). Bose did not have a choice other
than summarily to kick the British out of India.
Probably both Bose and Gandhi had realized that
the Muslim League and Hindu Mahasabha were
the British creations or penetrated by the British
intelligence assets. In this regard, it is logical to
conclude that both Gandhi and Bose knew the
facts and with the blessings of Gandhi only Bose
moved to execute a military solution. As a subse-
quent event proof, that post Japanese surrende-
red, the British forced the two nation theory on
Indians and only Gandhi opposed the Division of
India (details regarding partition will be written
in the upcoming book - Part(y)tion - The Saga of
Treachery, Assassination and Fraudulent Ascen-
sion of Kingdoms). Other than Gandhi including
Congress, Hindu Maha Sabha and Muslim League
either created by British or filled with British inte-
lligence assets wanted to divide India according
to British plans. The assassination of Gandhi and
subsequent investigations and the drama that
went in the court, and the suppression of many
facts surrounding the case is no lesser melodrama
than the disappearance, exile and death of Bose.
In both cases, the heavy involvement of British
intelligence with their local intelligence assets is
very clear. That is the reason why both Congress
and the right-wing in India never bothered about
either Bose or Gandhi and never went to the bo-
ttom of the facts of Gandhi’s assassination or the
facts of exile and death of Bose. When Bose wan-
ted to liberate united India without partition from
Burma to Iran and from Srilanka to Afghanistan
(Akhand Bharath) and when Bose was fighting
with British in Andaman, Nagaland, Assam and
Burma why both Congress and the rightwing ca-
dre, who claim to die for India never rose to the
occasion either by fighting the British or fighting
alongside with Bose? Why did they stop people
from evacuating the coastal areas when Bose was
trying to clear those places so that he could bomb
the British Headquarters with zero casualties of
Indians? Why were they favoring the British to
divide the country into two parts? After the es-
cape and exile of Bose, in 1945, again Savarkar
had stated “I have no quarrel with Mr. Jinnah’s
two nation theory. We, the Hindus are a nation by
ourselves, and it is a historical fact that the Hin-
dus and the Muslims are two nations.” (Vide In-
dian Educational Register-1943, vol. 2, page10).
It was this sentiment of separate and irreconci-
lable identities of the followers of these religions
that led to the formation of Pakistan. The same
proverb ‘The Enemy of my Enemy is my Friend’
which is mentioned above also applicable here;
because the Hindu Maha Sabha, Congress and
the Muslim League betrayed Bose and Gandhi du-
ring freedom struggle and worked hand in hand
with British and all the three favored the division
of India and became responsible for the massive
killings, rape, and destruction of wealth of mi-
llions of Indians. Is this the reason when Bose
wanted to bring about a united India, none bo-
thered about it except Gandhi? The effects of this
division we are experiencing even today in the
form of balkanization of India on regional lines,
Talibanization of India based on extreme religious
bigotry of extremist Hindu, Christian and Muslim.
Volume 01 Issue 02 | 11
It was true that only Gandhi boycotted these par-
ties and ceremonies during Indian Freedom cele-
brations and remained alone in prayers crying in
his heart.
Bose was captured and exiled and his vision of
United India died along with the thousand years
old kingdoms and culture. The Congress, Hindu
Mahasabha and the Muslim League partied with
British, divided India into different parts and han-
ded over the control of the country to the British
created oppressors in the name of (in)dependen-
ce. When Bose moved the tanks, armored ve-
hicles, war planes from the independent Indian
capital of Singapore to liberate British oppressed
India, why all patriot, nationalist, culture protec-
tors turned the other way and joined with the
British, in actively dividing India, killing more
than one million people, raping more than hun-
dred thousand women, destroying properties of
twelve billion dollars and demolishing spiritual
and scientific centers all across India in the name
of (in)dependence? Is it not true in the name of
freeing the people we have killed more number
of people than all invasions of India put together
and still continuing the same killing using most
primitive weapons? Couldn’t we have used the
Victorious Indian National Army marching through Fullerton
Square, Singapore after defeating the British.
12 | GREATGAMEINDIA MAGAZINE | OCT-DEC 2015
same weapons joining Bose and evicting the Bri-
tish out of India?
It was a disastrous defeat for Mountbatten af-
ter HMS Kelly debacle. That is the reason why
when Mountbatten became the Viceroy of India,
he took the title ‘Earl of Burma’ to have a psycho-
logical victory over Bose and he promptly divided
Burma from India. That is the first partition of
India.
The British, as part of Great Game III, wanted
to put Bose in jail till their partition plans were
executed and the portion of Kashmir is cut off,
from which Russia could have a land access to In-
dia. During the fraudulent ascension of Kashmir
in 1947, the British used Iranian mercenar-ies
disguised as Pashtu tribes to loot, rape and plun-
der and threw the blame on Pashtu tribes, who
in fact were already settled in Kashmir for more
than 200 years since they were invited by the
Dogra Kings who helped them settle down in the
Kashmir Valley as part of trade development with
Central Asia; some of whom were also absorbed
into the Kashmiri army.
Gandhi realized long time back that there cannot
be a military solution to the British rule un-less
weapon supply is secured. That is the reason why
Bose negotiated with Germany and Ja-pan. Once
the Republic of India was set up, Bose even went
into manufacturing of weapons.
Many think that or an impression was created
among the public that there was a rift between
Gandhi and Bose. Was it a part of the grand stra-
tegy made by both? That Bose will come up with
a military solution while Gandhi suspends Satya-
graha during World War II?
During World War-II many Jews from all across
the world including Germany and Italy helped the
formation of Israel. Did anyone in the state of
Israel declare that the Jews from Germany and
Italy who helped in the formation of Israel were
all terrorists? Rather, they were given a Hero’s
welcome. Just because Bose took help from Ger-
many and Japan, why was he declared as a terro-
rist in India? Was he not just alike the Jews who
helped the creation of their country? Why was
this presented as a factor for not accepting Bose
as a ‘leader’ and not supporting him in his war
against British?
British feared Bose’s return to India as a strong
military and political leader, who defeated them
in South Asia and was marching towards India
along with Japanese force. Because of this from
the beginning they wanted to suggest/project Ne-
hru and Patel as the only possible leaders for In-
dia after studying every strong and weak point of
these two. Hence, Patel and Nehru were allowed
to negotiate with the British and that was exactly
what British wanted. When we examine the his-
tory during India’s partition time, ‘Ironman’ Patel
acted as a very weak negotiator because he li-
terally accepted to every condition Mountbatten
laid down including the sanction of pension from
Indian revenues for all the British civil services till
they live. If Bose would have returned, the enti-
re remaining Indian army would have revolted
against the British and kicked them out of India.
It was this fear that prompted British from stop-
ping Bose mid way and getting him arrested ra-
ther than allowing him to reach Japan, from whe-
re he could come back to India and join Gandhi.
In fact there was a Naval Mutiny in 1946 to throw
the British out of India. Even if we assume there
was partition, and Bose was the leader, he would
have protected Gandhi from assassination from
the rightwing elements as he might have already
known the four assassination attempts that ha-
ppened before on Gandhi and also he would have
prevented senseless killings and rape of women
at borders because of partition.
Is it not true that when murders in the name
partition were going on, Nehru and Patel went
to Missouri and requested to Mountbatten to
take control of the situation and stop them? If
it were Bose, he would have never even in his
dreams asked Mountbatten to be the President
of India, who planned and executed the killing of
Gandhi, as instructed by Churchill. Even if Bose
could not prevent the assassination of Gandhi,
he would have conducted a thorough investiga-
tion in to his murder as he knew at least the di-
fference between a pistol and revolver being a
military man. Is it not true that the actual mur-
der weapon of Gandhi was not at all produced to
the court? All the three pistols including the one
supposedly used by Godse were rejected by the
coroner report as not the murder weapons that
killed Gandhi. If at all Bose had become the first
prime minister, he would have firmly dealt with
the rapes and killings under the cover of partition
and would have saved the entire Kashmir and As-
kai Chin regions.
Neither Hindu Mahasabha nor the Muslim League
wanted Bose to come back and lead India becau-
se it would have eliminated their partition poli-
tics. Everybody blamed Bose for taking help from
foreign powers like Japan and Germany to libera-
te India and this factor was shown as a reason by
the British, Congress, Muslim League and Hindu
Mahasabha for not supporting him and his army.
Is it not true that the same people who critici-
zed Bose helped the foreign rulers and took help
from them? At the same time didn’t Japan and
Germany with which Bose aligned became the
world’s largest economies, leaders in science and
technology, have highest per capita income for
their people in just thirty years? Why couldn’t we
show such an achievement even after 66 years of
Independence? By getting independence as alms
in a beggars bowl, we are neither self reliant nor
self sufficient and perpetually (in)dependent on
Britain. Is it not true even to protect ourselves we
have to beg for technology and arms either from
America, Russia or Britain? Is it not true that ex-
cept in space research, in every other field, we
are borrowing technology from other countries?
Is it not true even to build airports or capital ci-
ties, we have to hire foreign consultants? What
a state India has fallen to, from being a beacon
of knowledge and wisdom to the world! Is it not
true that the British who divided us, is in the list
of third rated countries either in terms of science
and technology today? Is it not shameful for India
Volume 01 Issue 02 | 13
to again go to this third rated country and borrow
the concepts of liberalization and privatization
for our endless ‘development’? Is it not shame-
ful that we borrow all our technology and money
from the same British companies which occupied
us in the first place as East India Companies 200
years ago? Is it not true that the same East In-
dia Companies are now masquerading as MNC’s
in technicolor and are operating out of different
countries like Dubai, Singapore, South Africa and
Australia? If Bose would have taken over India,
along with his allies, the Indian development
would have been planned on the same lines and
India by this time would have become another
successful nation.
By failing to investigate the complete details of
the death of Gandhi or Bose, the nation has shown
to the world that we do not care what happens to
India or Indians. Is it not true that till date, more
than 3500 Indians – presidents, prime ministers,
kings, scientists, trade union lead-ers, environ-
mental activists, business leaders, chief minis-
ters, central ministers, intelligence chiefs, sincere
police officers – who are all killed either in plane
crashes, heart attacks or unexplained suicides
and the subsequent investigations to these mur-
ders are as sloppy, uncaring, unprofessional as it
was done with Bose and Gandhi? Is it not true that
even the children of these victims never bothered
or cared to know the truth or was it that even
if they wished the government never supported
them? Is it not true that even today our premier
investigative agencies like CBI does not have the
technical expertise to investigate the helicopter
or plane crashes and have to depend on the joke-
rish versions of DGCA? Is it not true that in India,
in only few plane/helicopter crashes we forget
to analyze the black boxes? Are not most of the
black boxes belonging to the planes/helicopters
of prematurely dead Indian leaders? In the sta-
te craft and in intelligence, we should be able to
connect the dots to understand the whole truth.
But, in case of Bose and Gandhi, is it not true
that we are not able or not willing to connect the
14 | GREATGAMEINDIA MAGAZINE | OCT-DEC 2015
murder weapons to the persons involved, though
they are openly giving all indications about their
involvement? In this regard, it is highly apprecia-
ble that the family members of Bose, even after
66 years are relentlessly, fearlessly and tireless-
ly telling the unconcerned Indians that Bose was
alive and was captured while the entire nation
was busy playing/ watching cricket with the Bri-
tish and divided parts of the united India. It will
be a great tribute for all those leaders killed in
(in)dependent India, all those soldiers, men, wo-
men and children who died along with Bose for
independent India and those millions of innocent
men, women and children slaughtered like sheep
and for the countless young girls and women who
were raped and killed for (in)dependence, if now
a thorough investigation will be done at least in
the heroic struggle, escape, exile and death of
Subhas Chandra Bose, the first President of In-
dian Republic and the first Commander in Chief of
the Indian National Army.
As recent as two years before, under RTI, when
the information on the details of Lal Bahadur
Shastri’s death was requested, the home minis-
try replied vaguely that they cannot reveal the
information as it hurts the interests of their trade
partners. Who are these trade partners who are
most important to India than the right of people
to know about the death of their late Prime Mi-
nister? Who are these people whose business and
political interests are hurt with the revelation of
the entire details of the deaths of Bose and Gand-
hi? Are these people more important than the
people of India? Are they Indians or foreigners?
Why does every government of India, left, right
or center, elected by the people of India, work for
these selected persons rather than for those who
elected them? If government of India is working
only for a few select business interests then are
we agents for someone in administering people
and land for our Masters, or, are we a nation or
republic? If we are agents of someone, then who
are our Masters? At least, if that is known, many
in India can make a choice to stay in this country
under them or follow Gandhi in his slogan literally
and ‘quit India’.
In how many other assassinations the home mi-
nistry has details but chooses not to make it pu-
blic to protect the interests of others rather than
respecting the rights of painful Indians? Even if
any available information is not shared with peo-
ple, can we believe that as a nation, justice is gi-
ven in the case of assassination of Bose or Gand-
hi or other leaders?
Is it not true that for past 10 years, every coali-
tion government has all the details of black mo-
ney holders from India, and their accounts and
sums outside the country? Till date, even after
repeated requests from the Parliament, it was
never revealed because again it hurts the inte-
rests of black money hoarders who support the
political parties of all shades now, and they can-
not be brought to justice. Is it not true that ever-
yone who became political, spiritual, religious
leaders and came to power promised to bring
the black money back to India and once come
to power forgot that? Is it not true that the black
money generated inside (in)dependent India in
the last seven decades by loot and plunder of In-
dian people by Indian leaders (political, spiritual
and religious) is thousand times more than what
was supposedly looted by Islamic invaders over a
period of 500 years and lakhs of times more than
what was definitely looted by British in their 150
year of civilized rule? Robert Clive, who was just
a clerk in the East India Company, made money
enough for 60000 generations by loot and plun-
ders. In 2012, when his grand children auctioned
one cup of gold and a dagger, they got 180 mi-
llion pounds. They informed that they sold these
items for their pocket money and still there are
a few warehouses of the same stuff in England.
It is truly unbecoming when Russians ordered
a thorough investigation into the inhuman mur-
ders of Romanovs, the last Tsar of Russia, and a
dynasty that ruled Russia for centuries. Ro-ma-
novs were murdered a hundred years ago, in cold
blood including their children during what is ca-
lled now as Bolshevik Revolution. We too need
to reorder a thorough investigation into the disa-
ppearance and death of Bose, suspicious death
of kings, their prime ministers prior to and post
(in)dependence. We have enough Intel resources
and technology to do so, but lacks in political will.
Not only Bose, but also about the suspicious dea-
ths of all Indian leaders to whatever party they
belong to, their untimely death, accident, suici-
de, or unexplained death of every Indian leader
starting from Mahatma to recent Chief Ministers
need thorough probe. Assassination of political
and other leaders is a tool used in statecraft to
preserve geopolitical interests. It is necessary if
we have to survive as a nation and not as a slave
state.
We hope the investigative agencies will come out
with the true facts without wrapping them under
political pressures. We also wish the political lea-
ders irrespective of the party they be-long to, will
take the lead in reinvestigating the case if not
they may also someday face the same situation
and no one would bother about that.
Punishing of only doers, mercenaries (local or in-
ternational) is a legal practice instituted by the
British. The British wanted to avoid any responsi-
bility of their murder, loot and plunder by creating
a legal system where punishment is given only to
the doers. That is why even today Britain never
apologized any of their murderous act in India
including the most visible massacre of 1857 free-
dom fighters, Kanpur massacre and Jalianwallah
Bagh massacre. The British claimed that they are
not responsible for these massacres but it was
the Company Officers who are to be blamed. It is
high time that India rewrites the constitution and
criminal codes in such a way that not only the
doers but planners, schemers and ultimate be-
neficiaries are all brought to justice. Let us hope
that the present generations will take a lead in
this and move forward.
We request every reader to think independently
on these questions if we want to be true republic
rather than an (In)dependent nation.

MIND CONTROL
THROUGH TELEVISION
How Multinational Corporations for their vested interest hypnotise you and your
children through psychological warfare right at your home.
Every morning and evening, millions of unsuspec-
ting parents allow their children to witness gun-
fights, violent chase, murder, beatings and other
forms of violence. What is the reason so many
parents subject their children to such violent
images? They are contained within the cartoons.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. Even before
the television made its debut in India, in 1952 US
Congress created a congressional committee on
violence in media and how it affects daily lives of
millions especially children. From then on the pa-
rent groups, police officials, psychologists, doc-
tors, behavioral therapy researchers and media
barons were engaged in a mother of all battles
over media violence and its elimination from civil
society.
Given the spate of hundreds of channels and the
violent content they telecast during the past 10
years in India, it is imperative now to bring an
order to this seamless and meaningless violent
content in media. In India where any regulation
is no regulation, enforcement of laws is barely
on the fringe due to lack of Human Resources
(HR) and Political Interference (PI). Moreover the
close relation between few media barons and po-
liticians make it virtually impossible to formulate
any change based on facts.
This presentation is the study of the steps taken
by western countries where the problem of me-
dia violence took alarming proportions, over bur-
dening the already thinly stretched law enforce-
ment forces. Our effort is in the direction where
our wisdom lies in learning from the mistakes of
others and in not reinventing the wheel. We need
to move in a proactive manner formulating a re-

active strategy and solution. Any organization
can be in reactive mode but not law enforcement,
especially the community policing groups. It is
an educational manual providing a foundation for
further work in the right direction of making so-
ciety more civilized.
Today, Entertainment Violence is sold to children
with sugarcoated words such as “cool and fun.” To
keep the young consumers hooked to multime-
dia, violence is thrust on young minds, exposing
them to negative knowledge and health risks.
Do we even know how this affects our children?
The extent of destructive impact that the violent
content in multimedia has or will have on our chil-
dren is not known. The damage could be much
deeper and darker than we parents imagine; not
only for families but for societies at large too.
During the last 50 years, there have been persis-
tent efforts by the best research/medical minds
in more than 1,000 studies by voluntary orga-
nizations and government advocating the adver-
se effects of Entertainment Violence on children.
Surprisingly the first U.S. Congressional hearing
was held during 1952, when in India the term
television was nonexistent.
Although the above efforts have helped us to un-
derstand the issue, it has not helped generate
enough awareness among parents to make them
check the accelerated growth of Entertainment
Violence in multimedia targeted at children, over
the years. Are Indian parents concerned about
this? Is this an emergency call? Being working
parents like most of you, we share your thoughts
regarding the need to correct the current multi-
media practice of targeting children with violent

content. This GreatGameIndia research series is
a step in that direction.
Parents are busy people who typically have too
much on their plate. But, are we too busy to ig-
nore the fact that our children have begun as-
sociating horrifying violence with pleasure and
excitement? Are we too busy to ignore someone
physically or mentally hurting our children? Are
we too busy not to help them, when they are un-
der a bad social, moral and ethical influence? Are
we too busy in ignoring the mounting scientific
facts regarding the addiction and adverse effects
of television compiled by many experts in all wes-
tern countries? Are we too busy in making our
children to become mentally handicap and fodder
for multinational greed? Are we so busy to turn
away from our children becoming soft anti-social
elements and overburden already burdened po-
lice forces and then blame police for every me-
nace?
As long as our children are dependent on us, we
have the responsibility to help them with issues
they cannot manage. Today, our children have
reached a stage where, even though they think
they can, they are not in a position to handle the
media onslaught of manufactured horror, nor are
they able to decipher that the daily dosage of vio-
lence handed down to them is done with the sole
purpose of generating revenue and profits.
SCIENCE BRINGS THE TRUTH OUT:
BEHAVIOR CONDITIONING
TO MIND CONTROL
According to Advertising Age magazine 75%
of the commercial network time is paid by 100
large corporations in United States of America.
[2] Out of $100 billion annual advertising indus-
try expenditure (which is more than the money
spend by the US Government on the secondary
education, and more than 150 different countries
total annual GDP) $75 billion is paid by these 100
corporations. These 100 corporations can be di-
vided into 10 product segments like automotive,
banking, oil industry, aviation, communications
18 | GREATGAMEINDIA MAGAZINE | OCT-DEC 2015
etc and each of these segment is controlled by a
hand full of families not exceeding ten. There are
4,50,000 corporations in United States of Ameri-
ca but only 100 corporations belonging to these
10 industrial houses decide as to what appears
on television. If one produces a television pro-
gram to broadcast one has to get the financial
backing from the television stations. This means
his program has to be approved either directly or
indirectly by the corporations that provide fun-
ding for production and broadcasting of these
television stations (in Indian context, the media
silence on the certain issues of corruption and
scandals). This funding approval procedure in
turn results in effective censorship of any negati-
ve image programming about these corporations.
Another reason why only huge corporations do-
minate the television industry is its affordability.
In US half minute prime time advertising costs
anywhere between $200,000-$300,000.[2] If a
small company wants to add 4 advertising slots
of its product per month it needs to spend $1.2
million dollars on advertising per month. Annual
advertising budget on television alone will cost
close to $14.4 million dollars. If television adver-
tising budget is around 5% of the total sales fo-
recast then the sales for such company should
be around $280 million U.S. dollars. This means
very few companies could afford such budgets
effectively eliminating all medium and small pla-
yers from the field.
That is why even in India, only few companies
are forefront in the field of television advertising.
Like in America in India too these are oil com-
panies, information technology companies, fast
food companies, cloth makers, car manufacturers
and soft drink companies. When they are spen-
ding so much money on advertising don’t you
think they expect some return?
Any person if on average watches 5 hours of te-
levision per day then he will be bombarded with
21,000 commercials per year, each prompting
him to buy something from the sponsors. This

continuously watch violence via cartoon networks
or world boxing events or any other stimuli without
any chance to analyze them because of the speed of
the stimuli presented to them. These stimuli will be
implanted in their minds and brains passively. Du-
ring these stimuli implantation the energy of the
child which otherwise will be spent in participatory
learning experience will also be suppressed. Once
the television is shut off the suppressed energy will
burst forth which results in disruptive behavior and
hyperactivity. The only way to stop this hyperacti-
vity is to engage the child in another participatory
learning experience which needs parental time and
effort or put them back before television set when
the above mentioned learning and energy suppres-
sion is repeated and finally expresses itself in school
and other social settings. If children do not express
this energy it manifests itself within the body as hi-
gher acidity, thus affecting the metabolic cycles of
children and associated diseases.
For youngsters, when they feel bored usually they
need to go out and play with others or go to library
to read or engage in activity that stimulates their
learning. Sitting before television for long hours
not only creates hyper activity but it also reduces
the ability to react with any other person of simi-
lar age. Whenever they get bored, youngsters and
children turn to television Alcoholics, whenever
they get bored turn to alcohol, so too children will
turn to television whenever they get bored. In this
regard researchers claim this type television viewing
experience as a first step to mild drug addiction. For
last thirty years the epidemic of disruptive children
is growing out of proportions in western countries
some of which now are serious about curtailing the
children television watching hours.
Other reason researchers believe that television is
very disruptive if viewed for longer duration is de-
fined as perpetual speed up and confusion. Unlike
real life, in television, reality of different time frames
were cut and pasted called ‘technical events’ and
shown in sequence which is faster than happenings
in real life. During prime time commercials in a 30
second period the images or technical events chan-
ge more than ten to fifteen times. This is the reason
20 | GREATGAMEINDIA MAGAZINE | OCT-DEC 2015
why people pay more attention to advertising than
the regular program as advertising demands more
attention to catch up with the many images or te-
chnical events. If a viewer is watching the television
for even mere two hours he is bombarded with the
fractured reality cut and pasted. This requires acce-
lerated growth in attention which demands much
more concentration than regular viewing of a film.
So when the set goes off first he has to come from
this hyper activated state to the normal real life sta-
te which is slow and normal. Normal life, regular
surroundings, same house, same neighborhood wi-
thout changes; this difference will kick in the anxie-
ty in the viewer. Comparing to television ordinary
life is dull. To avoid anxiety like taking alcohol or
smoking a cigarette one has to set the television on
once again.
Watching television in high state of attention and
coming out of such hyper state to normal state will
suddenly make one feel tired, exhausted and worn
out. For children such change is disastrous. Educa-
tors in many western countries are alarmingly ob-
serving that such sudden changes result in total loss
of attention in normal life. This results in total loss
of interest in the surroundings they live and grow.
They become bored only within few minutes of
studying any subject in schools. Children demand
constant change as in television. They want the tea-
chers to perform rather than teach. Their behavior
becomes disruptive and precisely at the time they
need parental support, more strict discipline to bring
them back on regular track. But at this juncture in
the name of ‘rights of children’ MNCs will force lo-
cal governments to ban all disciplinary procedures
against children. Essentially the children will be free
to grow disruptive and television addicts. This aids
the MNCs sponsored advertisement messages to
sink in children at the most vulnerable ages so that
their behavior can be modeled and mind controlled
according to the MNC defined lifestyle. The lifestyle
that is replaced by television is the natural slow pro-
gressive cultural lifestyle of any given nation. Thus
socially progressive cultural life is replaced by an ar-
tificial living environment defined by television of
speed, space travel, fast cars, free-lifestyles all geared
towards MNC product selling by transforming and
speeding up the internal learning of brain and ner-
vous system in the most disruptive manner.
Thus brain is slowed down into alpha mode and
nervous system is activated to hyper speed of reac-
tion at the same time - too fast to read, write un-
derstand or to relate to another human beings while
generating anxiety and stress. From this alienation a
new human emerges like in USA or Europe a person
who can never slow down or cannot tolerate slow
progress. For such persons the television imagery
takes a real form. They believe the images of televi-
sion as true and try to model their behavior accor-
ding to the images they see on the television. Many
researchers most notably from University of Pen-
nsylvania, Gerber and Gross, found that television
has the ability to make viewers believe that what is
shown on it is reality.
Politically this has disastrous consequences. Like in
America where the primary source of information is
television, and where there is no other way to verify
the facts presented in television, many tend to take
whatever said on television on its face value. Gover-
nments, organized religions and corporations can
manipulate this to turn public opinion in their fa-
vor. This was evident from the Reagan election cam-
paign era usage of television. Even ordinary citizens
in their social day to day life think that the televi-
sion stories are real and identify with them, pray for
them cry for them and try to live like them.
Many researchers believe that the very nature of tele-
vision viewing experience causes such breakdowns
in human beings. This can be very well exploited by
governments, religious leaders or MNCs for their
best advantage. As we have seen in other articles by
GreatGameIndia, that for the last 50 years we did
not know much as to what was happening anywhere
in the world or around us. Information control is
total and effective over India. We did not know for
example that liberalization and privatization were
implemented in more than 20 countries since last
thirty years and in each of the cases all these coun-
tries in ten years went bankrupt descending into sla-
very to MNCs. Also in all these countries and other
hundreds of third world communities wherever the
western television entered as part and package of li-
beralized development along with MNCs, it destro-
yed families, societies and communities resulting in
total breakdown of moral, ethical and social values
resulting in total chaos. The prevention of these two
important proven facts that happened in more than
thirty countries from common Indian knowledge,
and selling liberalization and privatization as a pa-
nacea for the Indian Development; clearly shows the
hidden agendas of these EICs turned MNCs for they
knew what were the results of these practices for last
30 years.
Given many unknowns it is wise for us, Indians, to
devise a strategy to deal with this new explosive te-
chnology or economic systems which passively con-
quers the minds of people. Some policy, regulation
is needed that should aim at preventing the mad
opening of tens of such channels of 24 hour news,
or 24 hour programming, or dumping western style
on Indian masses only to destroy their family and
society of national cultural values.
In India, we have 4 major television networks. Go-
vernment controlled Door Darshan which can be
sold anytime to Reliance Network or its associates.
Z TV Network operating in the north and Enadu
TV, Sun (teja etc) and Jaya TV Network operating
in the south. In addition to them we have NDTV
- an affiliate of MSNBC, CNN, Star, etc. All foreign
programming is a rerun of American Lifestyle
which destroyed American life itself; socially, mo-
rally and ethically. Domestic programming exactly
imitates the foreign programming by Indianizing
the same. As liberalization and privatization dicta-
tes there should be no control over this television or
internet medium by the central government. That
means everyone is free to show whatever they feel
fit to show irrespective of the consequences either
on adults or on children. The argument goes - they
watch so we produce.
Most of the advanced countries like Germany, Ja-
pan, etc are limiting the 24 hour program channels
to a minimum completely eliminating 24 hour news
channels. They are banning all children cartoon ne-
tworks while limiting the time children watch tele-
vision. Without learning from their experience if we
continue the pace of liberalization and privatization
then in next 20 years we will be another destroyed
colony of America and Europe.

PART II: GLORIFIED
COMMODITIES
In the first part of this East India Company Seires: Noble Motives we examined the
origin of these EICs, their motives and the motives of Multi National Corporations
(MNCs). In this series we will examine the commodities EICs dealt with and
MNCs plan to deal with or are already dealing with. This East India Company’s
commodities of trade were praised by both Adam Smith (father of Modern
Economics) and Karl Marx (father of Democratic Socialism or Communism) as
necessary for civilizing mankind and making it noble.

Let us study the commodities of EICs first, during
the first wave of Civilizing China and India.
COMMODITIES OF EICS
Everybody knows EICs bought tea and spices
from South East Asia. But what did they sell?
Whatever they sold gave them incredible pro-
fits and with this they maintained huge priva-
te army, traveled thousands of miles to do bu-
siness and conquering all nations in South East

where approximately 10 million Indians perished
Asia. We know that they sold cotton and clothes
to India. However, the other magical commodity
which they sold was to Chinese and it was grown
in India, after EICs forced poor Indian farmers
to abandon all other agricultural production. The
name of this commodity, if Indians hear probably
they would first laugh and then faint, is the most
addictive drug Opium.
Using Jesuit priests, who were in China since the
13th century to accelerate conversions, as their
point men between Manchu Rulers of China and
the Mogul Empire in India, first Portuguese Jesuit
priests and then British and latter Dutch mer-
chants (under Dutch East India Company, a sister
concern of British East India company) took over
centuries old opium trading routes including cul-
tivation of opium in Portuguese controlled Macao
island. Latter Dutch negotiated monopoly over
opium production and trade and was granted tra-
ding rights in 1659 by the then Indian Mogul Em-
peror. By 1715 the East India Company started
trading posts in Canton region (Hong Kong and
vicinity) and started trading in Opium. But the
actual beginning of this opium trade came from
Portuguese Jesuit mission that was established
in 1601 in Peking, which held the key to the Far
East trade. In 1740, the Company’s role in In-
dia was limited to trade through its centers at
Bombay, Calcutta and Madras. By 1815, it had
an army of 150,000 men, and governed most of
India, either directly or indirectly. The Company
utilized the vast superiority of European weapons
to take over India in stages, through a series of
wars. Its takeover was assisted by the collapse of
power of the Indian Mogul Emperors, which left
India broken up into sections, controlled by local
rulers.
Bengal was the first major area conquered by the
Company. Its army defeated the native ruler in
1757 (Plassey War I), and proclaimed itself the
official ruler of Bengal in 1765. It imposed in-
credibly harsh taxes. The province deteriorated
rapidly. In 1770, the failure of monsoon rains, led
to a famine in which an estimated one-third of
the population of Bengal perished.
With the dried lands and dead farmers, the stage
was set for the large scale production of opium
and Bengal then became the center of the East
India Company’s opium monopoly. However, gi-
ving the lie to the radical “privatizers,” the ulti-
mate muscle behind the company was the British
military, as Lord Palmerston (Prime Minister of
Britain 1830-1865) demonstrated by deploying
it in the Opium Wars, to back up the British de-
mand for “free trade.”
Using this private army East India Company slowly
but steadily started commercially cultivating lar-
ge-scale production of opium in India, under the
then Mogul Empire by the end of 16th century.
Under the land tax deals with Mogul Kings, for
paying taxes, Dutch and British forced Indian far-
Volume 01 Issue 02 | 23
mers to cultivate opium. Bengal, Bihar, Orissa,
and up to Varanasi became centers of this opium
farming. Opium became number 2 commodity
in exports in volume, next to spices. East India
Companies were shipping 100 tons of opium per
year during that time to Indonesia. The Dutch
found in Dutch East Indies (current Indonesia)
that “opium was a useful means for breaking the
moral resistance of Indonesians who opposed
the introduction of semi servile but increasingly
profitable rubber plantation system. They delibe-
rately spread the drug habits form ports, where
Arab traders used opium, to the countryside.”
In the aftermath of the disastrous Bengal fami-
ne, the British Crown took control over the East
India Company’s operations, and, under the In-
dia Act of William Pitt the Younger, in 1785; the
Governor-General of India was made a Crown

appointment. A six-member “Board of Control”
was established in London to “superintend, di-
rect and control” the Company’s possessions. On
the Board were the British Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer (also happened to be Bank of England’s
Chairman), and a Secretary of State, both minis-
ters of the British Crown. From this period, the
“free-trade of East India Company was”, effecti-
vely, a semi-official branch of the British gover-
nment, until it was finally formally dissolved in
1858. Prior to the takeover of India by the East
24 | GREATGAMEINDIA MAGAZINE | OCT-DEC 2015
India Company, the Indian economy was charac-
terized by the existence of native manufacture
of cloth and other goods, which made possible a
division of labor, and a higher level of productivity
for the economy as a whole. But the British Em-
pire’s system of “globalization” had devastating
effects on India. The British demanded one-half
of the gross products of the land as tribute from
the areas that they controlled, and imposed a tax
collection system, which severely disrupted the
economy. Even more deadly was their imposition
of a policy of technological apartheid, banning
the export of machinery from England to India
and refusing to develop India’s rich iron and coal
deposits. Taxes were imposed to deliberately su-
ppress native manufacturing. The introduction of
steam driven machinery was used by the British
to devastate India’s native cloth manufacturers.
The British applied it to their slave labor system,
filling the factories and farms with workers, inclu-
ding children, who worked 15 to 17 hours a day.

FREE TRADE DESTROYS INDIAN
CLOTH MANUFACTURING
British “free trade” removed tariffs on cloth im-
ported into India and within twenty years Indian
cloth manufacturing was completely wiped out.
The result was not merely mass unemployment
and starvation of cloth manufacturers, but the
impoverishment of cotton cultivators, since cot-
ton now had to be shipped all the way to England,
and the British now had a monopoly and control
of cotton consumption.
This British looting had the effect of reducing the
ability of India to support its population. The des-
tructive nature of the British system contained an
inherent tendency toward bankruptcy, requiring
it to constantly find new sources of loot. The con-
quest of Bengal led to an initial surge in tax re-
venues. However, by 1815, the Company was 40
million pounds sterling in debt. The Company’s
150,000-strong army was consuming three-quar-
ters of its annual budget. The looting of India had
so severely damaged the Indian economy that
taxes and revenues were declining. It was this

difficulty that drove the representatives of the
British power and civilization to become traders
in that pernicious drug, opium. The Company’s
major source of revenue was now its China tra-
de: Chinese tea sold in England and paid for by
opium produced by Indian farmers.
THE BRITISH EAST INDIA COMPANY’S
OPIUM MONOPOLY
The East India Company established a monopoly
over the production of opium, shortly after ta-
king over Bengal. Before each growing season,
Company officers went through the villages con-
tracting with the peasants on how much acreage
to plant, and making loans to cover costs. Indian
peasants sold the opium juice to the Company,
whence it was taken to the factory. The opium
juice was processed into a form suitable for smo-
king, and formed into three pound cakes, which
were then wrapped in poppy pedals. Forty of the-
se cakes were loaded into chests, each stamped
with the symbol of the East India Company.
CIVILIZING CHINA WITH FREE TRADE AND
GLOBALIZATION
In a completely transparent fraud of “free trade,”
the Company then auctioned off these chests to
“country traders,” (whom it pretended were in-
dependent), at roughly four times the cost of
production. These traders were licensed by the
Company, and in some cases financed by it. The
Company would even give the “country traders”
opium on consignment, and collect payment in
Canton (Guangzhou) after the opium had been
sold. East India Company also set up their own
country traders. The largest of the “country tra-
ders” was Jardine Matheson & Co. William Jardi-
ne and James Matheson formed a partnership in
1828. Matheson was the first to see the poten-
tial of smuggling along the entire Chinese coast.
Both returned to England and became members
of Parliament. Matheson used his opium fortune
to become the second largest landholder in Great
Britain, and was made a Baron by Queen Victoria.
In 1729, the Chinese Emperor banned the im-
port of opium except for a small amount, licensed
as medicine. In 1799 a stronger Imperial decree
was issued prohibiting both the smoking of opium
and its importation. This imperial decree was ba-
sed on thousands of years old Confucian ideals
and morals “that a man had a duty and debt to
his ancestors. His body was given to him by his
ancestors as their link to his descendants. The-
refore, for a man to destroy his own body was a
great offense against filial piety” prohibited the
usage of opium and stated:
Volume 01 Issue 02 | 25
 “Foreigners obviously derive the most
solid profits and advantages... but that our
countrymen should pursue this destructive
and ensnaring vice... is indeed odious and
deplorable.”
The British were well aware of the destructive na-
ture of opium, but argued that opium sales were
necessary because it was the only item which
they could sell to the Chinese. The destructive
nature of opium was well known at the time of
the Opium Wars. Opium is highly addictive, and
induces passivity into the smoker. Addicts seldom
lived past age fifty; heavy smokers had a life ex-
pectancy of only five years.
Payment for tea, which the British imported, had
created a drain of silver from England to China
and created adverse balance of payments to the
EICs.
By 1800, the main source of revenues from the
Company operations in India was land taxes, im-
posed on conquered lands and opium trade. The
opium trade increased from 4,244 chests in the
1820-21 season to 18,956 by 1830-31. By 1831,
the opium trade into China was two-and-a-half
times greater than the tea trade. It was probably
the largest trade in a single commodity anywhere
in the world.
By the late 1830’s, there was no doubt that
opium was leading to the destruction of China. By
1836, opium shipments were more than 30,000
chests, enough to supply 12.5 million smokers.
The Chinese imperial army lost a battle against
local rebels (triad gangs) because the army was
addicted to opium. The financial drain on China in
treating opium addicts was disrupting the entire
economy. From 1829 to 1840, Chinese exports
had brought in 7 million silver dollars, but im-
ports, mainly opium had drained 56 million. The
loss of silver was disrupting the internal economy
leading to increased unrest.

FATHER OF MODERN ECONOMICS ON FREE
TRADE AND GLOBALIZATION OF EICS
Adam Smith, a leading economist of his time
who first proposed the concept of “Free Trade”
which now is renamed as “liberalization and pri-
vatization,” was a paid official of the East India
Company. He was instrumental in advocating
the trade of opium to maintain the revenues of
the company and as a foundation of Free Trade.
Adam Smith, in his Wealth of Nations, followed
this belief that human behavior was best ordered
by each man following his hedonistic desires to
their lawful conclusion.
He argued that opium was a legitimate
product, the same as any other commodity,
and that the objective laws of the “invisi-
ble hand” must be allowed to determine
all economic activity; and anything which
stood in the way, such as national gover-
nments, were an obstacle which must be
removed.
Smith, a propagandist for British colonialism, ar-
gued that human progress was advanced with
the spread of this “free market” globally, through
the expansion of the British Empire (see the si-
milarities between this argument and the current
liberalization campaign in India which advocates
free trade, destruction of all national government
barriers, advancement of the US-British models
of greed and profit maximization under globali-
zation).
KARL MARX DEFENDS GLOBALIZATION
AND FREE TRADE OF EICS
A similar defense of British colonialism was also
advanced by Karl Marx. Marx has an undeserved
reputation as an opponent of British imperialism,
because his writings were designed to appeal to,
and manipulate people, based on their grievan-
ces. Marx emigrated from Germany to England at
age 30, where he became a dupe of the British
Prime Minister Lord Palmerston.
Palmerston dominated the British government
from 1830 to 1865, and, was the central figure in
the efforts to make the British Empire into a new
Roman Empire. He directed British strategy in the
Opium Wars. He also kept a stable of radicals and
terrorists for purposes of destabilizing other na-
tions. Eleven countries have recently denounced
the British government for harboring terrorists,
demonstrating that the British have continued
this practice to this day.
Marx called the great capitalist treatise, Adam
Smith’s Wealth of Nations, “an immense step
forward”, because it reduced the value of all eco-
nomic activity to the value placed on it, by the
universal free market.
Marx’s role as an apologist for the British Empi-
re’s “globalization” is explicit in his defense of the
British Empire’s rape of India. Marx advanced a
Mandevillian argument, that because “capitalism”
is superior to “oriental despotism”, even though
the intent and actions of British colonialism were
evil, British colonialism benefited India.
Even more explicit is Marx’s defense of Britain’s
First Opium War. Amidst much bravado about the
potential for world revolution, Marx praised the
Opium War for throwing China into chaos. He
claimed that Britain was advancing civilization
in China, by destroying China’s old culture, and
opening up China to the international economy.
He even reported approvingly that British policies
were causing such unemployment in China, that
displaced Chinese workers were being used as
slave labor throughout the world. Karl Marx wro-
te in a July 22, 1853 article in the New York Dai-
ly Tribune: “Whatever be the social causes, and
whatever religious, dynastic, or national shape
they may assume, that have brought about the
chronic rebellions subsisting in China for about
ten years past, and now gathered together in one
formidable revolution, the occasion of this out-
break has unquestionably been afforded by the
English cannon forcing upon China that soporific
drug called opium. Before the British arms the au-
thority of the Manchu Dynasty fell to pieces; the
superstitious faith in the Eternity of the Celestial
Empire broke down; the barbarous and hermetic
isolation from the civilized world was infringed;
and an opening was made for that intercourse
which has since proceeded so rapidly under the
golden attractions of California and Australia. At
the same time the silver coin of the Empire, its li-
fe-blood, began to be drained away to the British
East Indies.’’
Reflecting the racism which dominated England,
where the majority of the population enthusias-
tically supported the First Opium War (there
were popular demonstrations against the Second
Opium War), Marx defends the British-forced ad-
diction of China:
“It would seem as though history had first
to make this whole people drunk before it
could rouse them out of their hereditary
stupidity.”
Between 1836 till 1900 as the Chinese Emperor
resisted this abhorring practice of doping Chi-
na, Europeans fought what is now known as the
“Opium Wars” to further civilize China and ad-
vance the human civilization. Finally all European
nations including USA joined hands to finally de-
feat the Chinese Army in the Boxer War in 1900,
thus legalizing opium sale to millions of Chinese
and with this free trade they secured their source
of revenue.
EICS FORCED TO SHIFT OPIUM
PRODUCTION FROM INDIA
The Company lost control of India with the Indian
Revolt of 1857-58, when British troops poured
in to crush the uprising. The British government,
under Lord Palmerston (1830- 1865), took direct
control of India. Queen Victoria, who noted that
most Englishmen felt “that India should belong to
me,” was made Empress of India in 1877.
Finally Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (the fa-
ther of India, The Mahatma) realized the dead-
ly potential of this opium menace on domestic
agriculture and on destruction of China. He star-

rebels among native garrisons of the British Army in 1857.
ted agitating against the production of Opium
in 1921 and 1922. Gandhiji and all his followers
were arrested under the clause of hampering and
undermining revenues.
The India Commission headed by Mr. Inchape Jr.
who chaired the commission to look into comp-
laints of Gandhiji, endorsed the continued opium
production in India in the year 1921. Finally in
1924 the opium production was completely shif-
ted into China, Iran and Afghanistan due to conti-
nuous pressure from US Congress, Japan and the
Opium Committee of League of Nations.
Another exciting product that was dealt on lar-
ge scale by EICs (all) was selling slaves from all
places to South America to work in sugar and tea
plantations and ranches. From India they called
them coolies, from china they were called pigs
and from Africa proper they were called slaves.
British EIC sold close to a million slaves (these
products are terrific as the cost of production is
zero and whatever the sale price is it is pure pro-
fit) till the beginning of 20th century.
PRODUCTS OF CURRENT MNCS AND HOW
FORMER COLONIES ARE RESPONDING
(INDIA TO INDONESIA)
Currently the Multi-National Corporations (MNCs)
are first entering into manufacturing and pro-
curing surprisingly mining diamonds and gold.
Every economic attaché is encouraging Indians
to mine more and more diamonds which current-
28 | GREATGAMEINDIA MAGAZINE | OCT-DEC 2015
ly stands at US 450 million dollars according to
one economic attaché. The next field they are en-
tering is the oil and natural gas sectors. Indians
have to remember that this Oil sector was in pri-
vate Indian businessmen’s hands who refused to
supply oil during the war with Pakistan in 1971
as these private owners figured out that war was
not good; the then Prime Minister nationalized
the oil and natural gas sector. Third field they are
entering is biotechnology (understanding medi-
cinal plant diversity and organic food production
without pesticides and insecticides; they have
patented turmeric, tamarind, basmati rice and it
took a couple of years to de-list these items from
patent. But they will patent every medicinal plant
and we have to pay royalty even if we cook and
use these plants). Fourth field is Banking and In-
surance sector (if all our savings are with MNCs
along with life insurance then they can use this
money in those segments that can make more
money for MNCs like investing in stock market
speculation which is surprisingly encouraged by
many Indian economists too. In stock market in a
one day crash one can wipe out the entire wealth
of a life time to zero leading to massive social un-
rest as happened in the stock market crashes of
1911 and 1939 in U.S.A). Fifth field is capturing
the media; television, internet, print media, news
papers and book publishing. On supply side every
MNC want to sell hi-tech defense gadgets wor-
th billions of dollars to us. Cosmetics and beauty
products, genetically modified foods, processed
foods, health destroying soft drinks, spirits and
liquor, agriculture, chemicals and seeds business.
Like EICs the current MNCs want to control what
we hear, wear, where we live and how we think.
Indian products are going to create adverse ba-
lance of payments with MNCs and their nations
soon, as all these items are high value items. So
the adverse balance of payments with MNCs is a
dire situation (as with EICs) and may lead to the
discovery of a new “opium” for India, even if not
now, it will be pretty soon. What MNCs are selling
to us is of no use to us as opium was of no use
to the Chinese hundred years ago. What they are
extracting is the national wealth which we our-
selves would have done. There are inefficiencies
in our economy but the first remedy is to try to
remove the inefficiencies which is the result of
corruption, politicization of unions, nepotism, po-
liticization of corporate officials etc. If father as a
role model in the house is not up to the mark we
do not replace the father by a second one, we try
to change him first. But these resources have to
be controlled by either EIC or MNC as these are
needed to technologically dominate and econo-
mically intimidate nations.
JAPAN
Except India none of the former colonies are inte-
rested in this new wave of liberalization and pri-
vatization. Starting from China till Japan they still
maintain that the west can only share technolo-
gy. Even in technology issues in many segments
the Japanese caught up and beat the west. Ja-
pan was never occupied by any EICs except for
the withdrawal from WWII after the nuclear ex-
plosions (brief interim rule by USA 1945-1952).
None of the above sectors are opened for MNCs
as Japanese still believe that west has nothing of
value to offer them. Japanese do not even relea-
se their latest versions of electronic products in
any of the Western Countries until they were first
sold in Japan for at least 3-5 years, as they feel
in the usage of these technological gizmos west
is inferior to them.
They categorically said no to all MNCs in ban-
king, insurance, media - print and television and
bio-technology. In Japan stock markets are not
open to multinationals. Even the domestic indus-
try too can issue only up to 20% of its common
stock to general public. Rest has to be issued to
government banks. This will remove the factor
of playing with the stock exchange; even if one
buys the entire stock of a particular company,
still he owns only one fifth of the company. As
foreigners are not allowed to trade in the local
Japanese stock market the fear of EICs or MNCs
taking over the stock markets thus the industrial
back bone of the country are virtually non-exis-
tent.
CHINA (PART OF BRITISH, FRENCH,
DUTCH, BELGIUM EAST INDIA COMPANIES,
USA, GERMANY AND RUSSIA HAD
TERRITORIAL RIGHTS)
In China none of the above sectors are opened.
They wanted investment only in the manufactu-
ring sectors along with the technology transfer.
They never allowed even CNN to broadcast its
news on the grounds that it is biased towards
the western perspective. No, also to insurance,
banking, media, oil and natural gas exploration.
China never even allowed Amway Corporation to
operate on the grounds that it is propelling greed
among the population and blaming Amway’s do-
nation to universities as propaganda to produce
reports and mould public opinion in the favor of
the west. When it comes to the question of SEZ
(Special Economic Zones), China mostly rented
their lands to foreign corporate companies unli-
ke, India selling them under contract.
INDONESIA (PART OF DUTCH EAST INDIA
COMPANY)
They said no in most of the above sectors to all
former colonial powers. When in 1975, oil was
found in East Timor and A(I)ryan Jaya, Holland/
Dutch negotiated for exploration rights but the
Indonesian government denied. For past two de-
cades massive social funding was pumped throu-
gh various NGOs into East Timor and most of this
money went in to converting locals by missio-
naries. Once the converted Christian population
reached the critical 50% they started agitating
for independent state hood, Christian Republic.
This demand was denied by the Indonesian go-
vernment. Then these rebels were armed. In 15
years armed struggle started. Everybody in the
west knew there is no chance for these rag-tag
rebels to face the mighty Indonesian army. So in
1995 the entire former European colonial powers
Volume 01 Issue 02 | 29
raised hue and cry that religious freedom and hu-
man rights are abused in Indonesia. To free the
people of East Timor from oppressive Indonesian
government the matter was referred to the Uni-
ted Nations. United Nations too wanted to guard
the freedom and human rights of East Timorians.
Thus a multinational force under Australia ente-
red East Timor and liberated it in 1998/99 and
the Republic of East Timor was born. The newly
“democratically elected president” of East Timor
gave oil exploration contracts to Dutch Oil Cor-
porations.
MALAYSIA (PART OF DUTCH AND FRENCH
EAST INDIA COMPANIES)
Malaysia categorically said no to any MNCs as
they follow the Japanese model of economic de-
velopment. Malaysia was subjected to economic
blockades, international loans were withheld and
so much of unrest was created to replace current
presidents, but they are still resisting and holding
off the entry of MNCs.
INDIA- (PART OF BRITISH EAST INDIA
COMPANY)
We are the first country colonized by EICs. But
MNCs though want to do business with us ne-
ver were really interested till 1995. During 1990-
1995 they found something within India; some-
thing of extreme value which prompted them to
move with full speed and vigor to re-colonize us.
As we were the naïve, first and foremost colony,
filled with more anglophiles (we love to speak
and imitate English more than our mother and
motherland) the population of Britain and USA
combined; many in India think that we have the
largest English speaking people and that is why
MNCs are coming to modernize India. This is a
myth. For instance Japan has more English spea-
king people than India. Japanese speak excep-
tionally excellent English. Like Europeans though
Japanese speak English, they do not communi-
cate in English but in Japanese. Any MNC who
want to do business with Japan first have to learn
30 | GREATGAMEINDIA MAGAZINE | OCT-DEC 2015
Japanese and must communicate in Japanese.
CONCLUSION
We have seen in the case of EICs, the victim of
their free trade and globalization was the agri-
cultural sector and agrarian labor. This followed
by the destruction of domestic labor intensive
economy leading to massive unemployment and
social unrest. Mahatma Gandhi started his move-
ment aptly calling it Satyagraha literally mea-
ning angry for truth. The only solution he saw for
the menace was Grama Swaraj - self sufficiency
of Villages, thus the agricultural sector. After 50
years of independence we for the first time are
seeing the destruction of agriculture both by sta-
te and central governments. Agrarian labor are
shifting towards cities, farmers are killing them-
selves, state governments are fighting over true
national resource, water, and are forcing millions
of acres of agrarian land to dry up. Prices of seeds,
electricity, manure etc are going up forcing many
to abandon agriculture and move as labor to ci-
ties. The so called highly profitable Aqua Cultu-
re (prawn export) though initially profitable (like
land taxes for EIC) now destroyed most agrarian
lands permanently in coastal Indian towns. In-
cidentally all this is coinciding with the dazzling
and dynamic liberalization and privatization drive
by all governments under EICs turned MNCs en-
try into the country since a decade now. Are we
going to shift to our “traditional magic crop under
EIC - Opium” or is there something more sinister
to this round of anti-agricultural practices or a
permanent destruction of the food diversity of In-
dia and to make it dependent for food itself on all
MNCs; as now they are producing in way excess
quantities of certain food items which they can
supply for next 500 years at dirt cheap prices.
Are we repeating Bengal Famine again? Is Gram
Swaraj, for that matter Swaraj in real danger?
Well the answer to this question depends on how
much information any one has about what is ha-
ppening in India and anywhere in the world.

Ancient cultures for centuries all across the conti-

the basis of such constructions must be sound
scientific principles of most advanced branches of

pomp of a king. Other than in India and across
the East Asian Buddhist countries spanning from
China to Japan, most of these structures all over
the world lay now in ruins or are completely des-
troyed.
Recently, a spate of these structures are being
discovered in the Middle East, South America,
North America, Europe, India and Australia on
land and under sea. These newly discovered si-
tes remarkably resemble in design, content and
construction, with existing Oriental (Asian, In-
dian) structures. In the absence of any knowle-
dge about these structures in India or in Asia or
deliberately omitting them from even mentioning
as existing, or by deliberately not encouraging
the authoritative texts in this field of architec-
ture dealing with such constructions from being
translated into western languages, the western
academia is throwing lot of new theories of spe-
culative nature. Their bias towards Judo- Chris-
tian origin and development of civilization is so
missionary that they even want to destroy these
texts by encouraging third world governments to
not support the small press that helps to publish
the texts that deal with the scientific principles of
such constructions.
The Vedas codified the engineering sciences dea-
ling with construction - be it at individual level
(house, farm yard, etc) or at macro level (village,
town, city planning, forts, irrigation, roads, ca-
nals etc), grouped under generic field of knowle-
dge called Sthapathya Veda (Science of Forms)
or Shilpa Veda (Science of Creation). Sthapthya
Veda is the Upa Veda (supplementary branch) for
Atharva Veda. Within Sthapathya Veda the plan-
ning, designing, construction of individual houses,
farms, and villages, towns, cities, roads, canals,
parks, irrigation, public works etc are codified un-
der Vasthu Sasthra (Science of Structural Forma-
tions). The planning, engineering, designing, of
community places of worship, temples, sacrificial
altars are codified under Agama Sasthra (Science
of Temple Construction).
The knowledge for most part of the time handed
over through the oral tradition of learning Shru-
thi, has to be printed and preserved before the
knowledgeable persons in these fields completely
vanish. Due largely to the lack of support from
mainstream academicians, limitations of langua-
ge and the governmental negligence towards
those who can interpret the texts, explain the
science and art of the process of the construction
these knowledge is vanishing fast.

LEPAKSHI - SITE ANALYSIS
Lepakshi is a small village in Anantapur District of
Andhra Pradesh, located approximately 120 km
from Bangalore.
There are many things that we learnt from our
visit to Lepakshi and from our research and inte-
raction with the locals. From a cursory look in and
around the temple structure it quickly became
evident that it was not just a temple but also a
fortress with a watchtower half a mile away. The-
re is a water storage tank some 100 meters away
at ground level that efficiently collected the water
from atop the structure through a drainage chan-
nel. The tank lies in ruins however there are still
communities living around that harvest rice and
other crops around it. At the backside of the tem-
ple structure and also around it there are half-cut
unfinished stones lying around at different stages
of cutting process that gives a very clear idea of
the method and types of instruments used for
stone-cutting. Further research confirmed it and
the exact process is now known to us. Upon fur-
ther inquiry from the guide and locals we learnt
that there are communities in Chikaballapur and
around that still do this kind of stone-cutting. Si-
milar is the case with the communities thriving
on Lepakshi inspired saaree design, sculptors,
potters, painters etc. Records of Persian and Eu-
ropean visitors to Vijayanagara provide vivid des-
criptions of life at the capital during the 15th and
first half of the 16th centuries. Their reports on
the precious stones, including diamonds, texti-
les and other luxury goods on sale in the mar-
kets testify to the role of the capital as one of
the greatest emporia in South India. What is the
current status of these communities we do not
know as yet. However with the different projects
planned under FDI the future of these communi-
ties look bleak.
One of the unique features of the temple archi-
tecture is the hanging pillar. Not much is known
about the pillar except for the incident concer-
ning the British engineers who dislodged it. No
more information is available about the particular
32 | GREATGAMEINDIA MAGAZINE | OCT-DEC 2015
incident except for the name of the engineer -
Lord Hamilton and the year 1902. Interestingly
many people call it Gravity Pillar and Antariksha
Stambha. No information is available on the te-
chnology that was used to build it or even any
proposed theories.
There are many different aspects of the site that
touch upon including ancient and more recent
history, architecture, science and technology,
defense and security, geopolitics, social life, re-
ligion, education and we would like to address
each one of them.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the documentary is to showcase
the potential of our proposed project/initiative ta-
king Lepakshi as a case study. The documentary
would be a proposal for the entire project cove-
ring all the sites of entire Vijayanagara Kingdom.
Research will be carried out on different aspects
of the site including history, architecture, com-
munities, geography, technology, commerce, etc.
taking a holistic perspective. Through our visit at
the site and through inspection and interaction
with the locals different features and facets of
the place would be brought to light. These unique
features would lay the foundation for the docu-
mentary and subsequently the entire proposed
project, as it is these unexplained and unanswe-
red questions that we wish to address through
this project. For the purpose we would bring to-
gether experts from different fields on to a plat-
form from where we could embark on a direction
where we would not only be able to answer these
questions but also in the process revive this once
magnificent and living heritage.
All interested citizens who would like to be a part
of this initiative or would like to help us out in any
way are kindly requested to contact us. A detai-
led presentation on the proposed project is also
available upon request for those who would like
to donate for the project in any capacity or as a
lecture to be delivered for awareness at educatio-
nal and other institutions.

TECHNOLOGY AND THE
LAWS OF THOUGHT
PART I
The real question is not whether machines think but whether men do. The mystery
which surrounds a thinking machine already surrounds a thinking man.
- B. F. Skinner
PREFACE
In the past couple of decades, the web of te-
chnology has encircled the globe. Devices have
become obsolete so blindingly fast, that coming
to grips with the pace of development has be-
come tougher with time. From around the time
Futureshock of Alvin Toffler became popular in
the 1970’s, several hundred books have been
written, talks have been arranged, conferences
organized under the theme of technology, espe-
cially about computing technology that has come
to influence our lives so penetratingly. However,
the glare of new technology has grown so strong
that most descriptions restrict themselves to the
past 50 years or so, as it is not worthwhile to des-
cribe or study an obsolete technology in full wor-
king detail. Even if the earlier history is mapped
out, the corresponding conceptual development,
particularly the philosophical development is not
generally addressed. Additionally, innovation has
been a goal much stressed upon in recent years.
In a rapidly changing environment, it is doubly
difficult to identify what is really new, making it
a tricky goal to work with. Hence what is most
needed is an analysis of the way we came to be
where we are today in terms of technology, and
a clear understanding of what the effect of te-
FROM THE UPCOMING BOOK BY GOPI KRISHNA
chnology is on the human mind. Only this can
show where we are headed. These two aspects
are addressed in this work: how this technology
was created, and how it is related to the thinking
process. Not only is a historical overview provi-
ded, but the conceptual developments that came
into being along the way are highlighted as well.
This is seen to lead right back into the time of
the Renaissance and the Age of Enlightenment,
and by suitably arranging the different streams of
thought so that their effect on each other can be
seen, a way is found into the much distant past
− to the origin of the ideas guiding technology to-
day. This path can get winding at times, but is by
no means random. The aim of the process is to
see if the way technology has developed was the
only way possible, and if there are any ideas that
can give a different orientation for it. At the same
time, by studying the effect of machines on the
human mind, ways to understand and compen-
sate for these effects are suggested. It is hoped
that this will help to not only tackle technology in
the right way, but also enable new ideas to enter
into this field, that can prove to be fruitful for
every free thinking person.

THE SITUATION TODAY
One of the distinguishing features of the world
today is the sheer number of distractions one is
subjected to day in and day out. Every aisle in
the supermarket has a thousand options, every
street in the city has a thousand boards and ad-
vertisements, and every click of the button pours
out a million options for pursuit. The sights and
sounds that blare forth from all directions, es-
pecially in the midst of a big city have reached
unprecedented levels, especially if all the earpho-
nes and small-screens are included. This develo-
pment is noticed not only by the experts in psy-
chology or students of anthropology, but also by
the general public. The sudden rise of computers,
Internet, smartphones and its consequences can
hardly be missed by anyone. This transition into
the world of distraction is being experienced by a
larger section of the population today than ever
before, and quicker than ever before.
As the things that demand our attention have
proliferated, attention-spans appear to have
gone the other way. In the span of just fifteen
years, it can be observed that it is much harder
to concentrate on one topic today, in any field of
life than before. In order to accommodate, and
to somehow work with this limitation, the fields
of knowledge have gradually splintered into innu-
merable tiny boxes. Observe the number of spe-
cialists that have arisen in the various fields of
knowledge e.g. “a doctor” is not to be found easi-
ly, but rather an “ologist”, whose specialty is one
specific part of one specific organ of the body. It is
hard for a scientific investigator to even unders-
tand the vocabulary of another field of science,
let alone communicate the thoughts accurately.
It is actually easier to be “the expert” of a small
topic than to have an in-depth grasp of a wide
array of knowledge. This appears to be one of
the side-effects of the Information Age: a fractu-
ring of knowledge and attention. So on one hand,
the ability to access information has increased
enormously, and on the other hand, the ability
to remember, assimilate and work with that in-
34 | GREATGAMEINDIA MAGAZINE | OCT-DEC 2015
formation is getting difficult. Noticing this chan-
ge is one thing, coming to terms with it is quite
another. It is clear that with time, these effects
of technology can only increase. This brings up
several questions. How did this technology arise?
Where did it originate, and where is it headed?
How can one distinguish between the harmful
and useful effects of technology? Where is it pos-
sible to draw the line, if at all such a line exists?
It is possible to think about technology in simple
terms, for example: the knife that is in the hands
of a surgeon and the knife that is in the hands of
a robber. If so, then it is not the knife that is the
issue at hand, but the person and his motives, in
which case all worrying about technology beco-
mes irrelevant. However, things are not as simple
as that when comparing a knife with the effects
of modern computing technology. The effects of
a knife are clear and visible to all while the effect
of technology on the workings of the innermost
aspects of the mind is not easily visible. The coo-
peration with the machine remains out of sight.
Studying the visible effects of technology is ea-
sier than understanding the invisible effects on
something as internal as thinking and focusing.
Computing technology is, as the saying goes, a
whole other animal. It is therefore important to
identify what the relationship is between thinking
capacities and our current technology-filled life,
and what can be done about it. This is a vast
field, and it would involve delving into an obstacle
course of sorts to trace the origin of the relevant
ideas. Since these changes are not easily visible
to the eye, it requires some patience to identify
the path to be traced. Hence, a good approach
would be to consider the changes themselves in
greater detail, and try to get a clear image to
work with. This way the right questions can re-
veal themselves along the way, instead of trying
to force-fit the situation into specific questions.
Since the topic is about the recent changes in
thinking capacities, it is best to begin with the
present day and work backwards, which will be
done in the articles to follow in this series.

INDIA: PART I
OPERATION MOUNTBATTEN – Reoccupation of whole of India in 60 years
for 51% of Indian land partitioned in 1947. A bizarre Saga of bankrupt western
economies and their multinational business houses incredulous laughable economic
plan to Develop Indian Retail jobs at the expense of their economics with non
existing FDI from their phony FII (Foreign Institutional Investors)

INTRODUCTION While most countries are still reeling under the

In 2008, an economic tumour ripped through the
US and by 2011 it had spread to most parts of
Western Europe. It resulted in large scale unem-
ployment and inflation leading to several protests
and had left behind a trail of crippled and near
bankrupt economies. Even today, western eco-
nomies are coping with the after effects of this
economic crisis and few are still in recession. To
squeeze every dollar they could into their econo-
mies, most nations resorted to wage-cuts, reduc-
tion in public spending, mass layoffs, austerity
measures etc. With no end to their woes in sight,
the Americans along with their European part-
ners, resorted to strategies which are reminiscent
of the colonial era. The coalition entered into war
with Libya with the noble objectives of spreading
democracy, rule of law and human rights and ul-
timately fleeced the country of $ 2 trillion which
prevented the collapse of these economies and
gave them some breathing room. The western
governments realised that the economic crisis
was intrinsically linked to the standard of living
of their people which if not protected could lead
to the political radicalisation of the entire west
and could wind the clock back to the time when
they were struggling to counter spread of soviet
ideology in their countries.
shock of recession, Dubai, which was afflicted by
what was famously known as the Dubai Flu of
2009 came out of its effects relatively quickly.
How that came about is worth looking at. Little
known to many, UAE is a conglomerate of either
12-14 sheikdoms of which Ras-al-Khima, Abuda-
bi, Dubai and Sharjah are well known. They mi-
raculously came out of depression by virtue of a
financial experiment that most western countries
were skeptical of, but its eventual success led
these nations to quickly adopt it. The experiment
was a carefully drafted strategy which was devi-
sed by political pundits, banking and economic
wizards and its script began to unfold in India
since mid 2011. The experiment and its fallout
will be discussed subsequently in the course of
this article.
DUBAI FLU
After the collapse of the US real-estate bubble,
the Dubai real estate market collapsed as it was
the popular investment destination for all those
in the west looking for a safe way to invest hard
earned’ black money. The total loss they suffered
was close to $ 2 trillion. Most of the black money
of US and Europe was invested in the Dubai Free
Trade Zone. The sheikdoms were shaken, as their

Volume 01 Issue 02 | 35
lavish life style and their way of life was under
threat. Dubai’s glitz and glamour has been built
by money sourced from every conceivable illicit
means - black money, drug laundered money,
profits from smuggling gold, diamonds, metals,
arms etc. It was feared that if the situation was
not remedied immediately, Dubai would would
have to wind its clocks back to the Stone Age. It
was rumoured that in 2009, at the height of the
crisis, they couldn’t afford to pay even the inte-
rest on the debt taken for the construction and
maintenance of the Burj al Arab; Dubai’s iconic
landmark.
HOW DEM (DUBAI ECONOMIC MIRACLE)
OR IBM (INDIAN BUSINESS MIRACLE)
OCCURRED?
It is worth noting that this miraculous econo-
mic turnaround for Dubai came about despite
the fact that Dubai lacks world class educational
institutions, economists, thinkers, scientists etc.
And also this miracle occurred unexplained when
even to screw a nut or bolt, to plug a bulb or cut
a piece of wood, to build roads or build hospitals
labor had to go from South Asia.
Despite all this, Dubai never had a problem in
attracting Foreign Institutional Investment(FII)
or Foreign Direct Investment(FDI) even though
36 | GREATGAMEINDIA MAGAZINE | OCT-DEC 2015
they had a bizarre business rule that mandates
the majority stake be of the native citizen of UAE
and the foreigner who brings the investment only
allowed to be a partner as long as the UAE citi-
zen wants. Still the best of the international fund
managers, banks, investment companies poured
billions into UAE to create a dessert heaven of
unprecedented proportions for third world black
money. All UAE rules were accepted and all this
investment was done under the name of cultural
sensitivity to native culture. But the same invest-
ment companies when it comes to the question
of India and investing in India, wants the whole
of the ownership with 100% profit repartition ri-
ghts back into their economies. Probably India/
Indians do not deserve cultural sensitivity.
PIGGYBACK ON FAME, NAME & EXPERTISE
With the component of compulsory UAE citizen
owner in corporate partnership/growth, many
of the local citizens became partners/owners of
prestigious companies. This mere association was
used to claim that UAE citizens were world class
builders, investment bankers, financial wizards of
top class to gain business contracts with many
developing countries often with the black money
routed into UAE especially into DUBAI via many
money laundering island countries like Mauritius,
British Virgin Islands or Cayman Islands; with di-
sastrous consequences to many developing na-
tions. In many Islamic countries or other Asian
African non-aligned countries where people ne-
ver liked western ideologies or support of wes-
tern governments, the UAE citizenship-ownership
was sold as an Islamic Face of Development and
through this many western economic intelligence
agencies made a back-door entry into third world
economies. Also it is to be noted that most of
the top wanted terrorist outfits of concern either
have a UAE office or had a residence there. Our
most wanted man Dawood Ibrahim still keeps his
office there. ISI actively has its operational offi-
ces and bases in Dubai.
But this DEM or IBM came with a catch. From con-
sultants to bankers, to insurance agents to retail
outfits all came from western countries only and
with 100% FDI. Many prestigious banking out-
fits kept investment front offices or mutual fund
offices with different names and aided for deca-
des to route black money from investment safe
heaven into Dubai. Huge profits generated with
this money were shared between local citizens
and investors. But who will labor and toil in UAE?
Asian labor in general or Indian, Pakistani, Ban-
gladeshi, Sri Lankan labor in particular. The hea-
ven created on earth in UAE became a big open
air jail for Indians and Asians. Upon arrival their
passports are seized by the companies that gave
employment. Most of the daily wage labor live in
there in ghetto like conditions. Still we tolerate all
this because those conditions are better than the
worst exploitation or joblessness that we faced in
Free India or Asia.
All this was possible because UAE was and is
partner in fighting elusive International Islamic
terrorism (like Pakistan) and for that allowed the
western intelligence agencies especially CIA and
Israeli Intelligence to operate free on their emi-
rates under the pretext of checking the Iranian
Aggression. Especially, Ras al Khima is onr of the
closest listening interception outpost of CIA and
Israeli Intelligence to monitor Iranian communi-
cations. Ras al Khima with a total population of
close to 3.5 lakhs (you read correctly three and
half lakhs only - just google it) created an inter-
national trade center asking many European, US
and Asian giants to invest there and guess what;
Indians were the first to run there to invest.
DAWN OF THE CRISIS, 2009
The collapse of the western economies due to the
economic crisis of 2008 resulted in the near ex-
tinction of the Dubai economy. Most Arab nations
too were struggling to make their ends meet. In-
ternational financial institutions like the IMF and
the World Bank were also helpless and no country
could afford to bail UAE out. The real estate in-
dustry came to a standstill in UAE and foreclosu-
res, layoffs and shrinkage of wages were on the
anvil. Indian economists were forecasting that
the Dubai Flu would rub off on India and would
affect the Indian economy as millions of Indians
would probably lose their jobs. The remittances
sent back home by these workers, constitutes a
large portion of the economy of some states in
South India. Some thinkers suggested that the
government take measures to reduce the impact
of the Dubai Flu in India. Some suggested that it
was the Government’s responsibility to provide
financial assistance to those affected by the ri-
pple effect of the Dubai Flu.
UNIMAGINABLE LOSS OF $2 TRILLION, AN
UNPRECEDENTED EXPERIMENT AND
AN INCREDIBLE SOLUTION
At this crucial juncture, the rulers of Dubai chose
to walk down a unique path. With good connec-
tions in the financial world, they decided to hire
the famed N.M Rothschild and Brothers (NMR) as
knowledge partners and consultants to save UAE.
NMR agreed to help for a whopping fee of $10
billion. Desperate for help, the rulers agreed on
the condition that they would give the NMR group
leeway to operate and they would have to make
the money (fee) by themselves whichever way
they deemed fit. The solution proposed by the
Volume 01 Issue 02 | 37
NMR group was to suck money out of India to bail
the UAE economy out, without Indians knowing
it.
STEP 1: THE NMR GROUP SET UP EMMAR
PROPERTIES IN UAE
This company was promoted as one of the best
construction companies in the world having done
a lot of work in the US, Latin America etc. (The
native owners piggy-backing on international
partners). Their methodology was simple, tried
and tested. They bid for real estate contracts in
India and bought them at dirt cheap prices from
the Government and sold them to Indians (all
classes) at whopping prices thus making huge
profits which were then transferred to Dubai. The
investment for these real estate ventures came
from Indian businessman who had connections
in Dubai and the money for the initial investment
was laundered from Mauritius or Cayman islands.
STEP 2: FREE TRADE - INDIAN BLACK
MONEY IS DUBAI-SINGAPORE WHITE
MONEY IS INDIAN FDI
Money, which is earned in corruption by sucking
the blood of poor Indians by the politicians and
private corporations is laundered to the safe
heavens like Mauritius and Cayman Islands. In-
trestingly this same portion of money suddenly
comes back as boomerang and is shown as FDI
portion of Dollar Investment until they obtain li-
nes of credit from local Indian banks. If the fraud
is caught the real owners of Emmar or their con-
sultants were never brought to justice and only
Indian counter parts will face jail (sounds simi-
lar and familiar - when Jalianwalabagh massa-
cre happened, the English officers escaped from
punishment and only the local Indian police were
suspended).
STEP 3: ROLL-IN TO INDIA AND
MODUS OPERANDI
Many front companies were promoted as subsi-
diaries of Dubai based companies in Singapore,
38 | GREATGAMEINDIA MAGAZINE | OCT-DEC 2015
South Korea, Malaysia to lend some international
flair and authenticity to the parent Dubai busi-
ness houses. The modus of operation was sim-
ple: Over invoice every item several times citing
international standards and get the bills passed.
Then subcontract the work to local Indian con-
tractors for the actual price.
Also, this same EMMAR properties were consul-
tants in executing the Common Wealth Games
which was close to the tune of Rs 1.25 lakh cro-
res ($ 24 billion) fraud (this is what was revea-
led) in which again the ever forgetful Kalmadi
was sent to Tihar but the money reached Dubai
and CBI went on a merry chase behind Australian
and Swiss firms to find out the truth in over in-
voicing of gym equipment supplied in CWG. The
quality of the work done in Delhi was so great
that the foot-over bridge built by Emmar collap-
sed just a week before inauguration of CWG and
it was re-built in record time by Indian Army. The
bill for this CWG was twice the combined total of
all CWGs ever conducted in the entire history of
CWG. The probe is still on by CBI.
In a matter of months, Emmar attached itself to
almost every State Government and was working
on several key infrastructure projects. For exam-
ple, in Andhra Pradesh, Industrial Infrastructure
Development Corporation (APIIC) entered into
joint venture with Emmar Properties in develo-
ping golf courses, villas, high rise complexes,
stadiums, recreation and entertainment centers
etc. These deals signed between 2004-11 are
now under the CAG, Vigilence and CBI scanner.
The modus operandi was simple – first APIIC and
EMMAR agreed to become equal (50%) partners.
Then within months, APIIC’s ownership share
dropped to 26% and eventually to 6%. This was
done by transfer of shares to Indian front compa-
nies setup by the EMMAR group.
The Indians named in the EMMAR fraud case in
Andhra Pradesh were pleading the courts to grant
them special concessions to enable them to go on
pilgrimage. This EMMAR had such similar deals
with almost every state government in India. For
example if the Andhra Pradesh fraud in land grab
is close to $50 billion dollars (Rs 2.5 lakh crores)
then with similar proportion with leading state
governments, the total fraud alone will be ($50
billion x 20 state governments) $1 trillion dollars.
This was sucked out into Dubai and is even being
sucked out of the Indian economy right infront of
your eyes. This is the 50% of the Dubai Bail Out.
In case of Andhra Pradesh because of the political
power struggle one political party requested High
Court to look into another party connection with
EMMAR and thus the high court ordered a CBI
probe. Even here Emmar used top-notch lawyers
in India to fight and to get the case dismissed.
Who will probe these in other states of India whe-
re there is no such political power struggle?
HOW ROTHSCHILDS WERE ABLE TO
BAILOUT DUBAI BY SUCKING MONEY FROM
INDIA WITHOUT INDIANS KNOWING IT?
A famous member of the Rothschild family once
remarked, “Give me control of a nation’s money
and I care not who makes it’s laws”. In 1999,
NMR might have correctly calculated the collap-
se of several western economies. The NMR group
works in conjuction with the UK Government
and its Intelligence agencies since more than a
century. They have close working relations with
‘Monitor Group’ a management consulting firm
in London, which sold the idea of liberalization
to India. Between 2004 and 2008 these westren
lobbies carefully nurtured segment by segment
in Indian economy by developing friends or using
their resident consultants like Nira Raadia and
her Vaishnavi Consultants.
Intrestingly when all the murky operations of
EMAAR and 2G Spectrum Scam which swindled
lakhs of crores from India into foreign banks were
taking place, at the same time Rahul Gandhi had
working connections with Monitor Group, where
the head of the British Secret Intelligence Servi-
ce was sitting in as one of the board members of
the company.
What exactly was the role and responsibilities
of Rahul Gandhi in that company? Is there any
connections between the British Intelligence and
the scams that took place around that time? It is
time for our investigation agencies and general
populous to look into this type of ‘geopolitical an-
gle’ which can set a new directions to the case.

DIGITAL INDIA IN THE
AGE OF INFORMATION
WARFARE
In our unconcerned enthusiasm for the Digital India campaign,
are we putting our National Security at risk by ignoring the very dangers
posed to the country and it’s people through it?
INTRODUCTION
Infrastructure in general refers to a set of inter-
connected structural elements which provide ser-
vices and facilities necessary for the development
of a society or nation state. National Infrastructu-
re is defined as ‘critical’ when it is believed that,
disrupting its function would lead to significant
socio-economic crisis with the potential to under-
mine the stability of a nation and thereby have
political, economic and strategic implications.
These infrastructure assets may be physical (si-
tes, installations, pieces of equipment) or logical
(information networks and systems).
Many of the critical infrastructure components
are completely dependent on communication
systems to perform their missions. Even after six
decades of Independence, India is still not able to
manufacture a single mobile device or even our
own Operating System (OS). According to Global
Innovation Index 2015, India stands at stagge-
ring 66th rank where as Switzerland; just the size
of an Indian state tops the list. Ironically India
alone produces engineering graduates (per year)
close to the entire population of Switzerland. Yet,
instead of contributing for the establishment of
indigenous mobile manufacturing units many of
the scientific gurus and political pundits say that
manufacturing the devices on our own is ‘time
consuming’ and at the same time inviting foreign
companies to manufacture in India and exploit
40 | GREATGAMEINDIA MAGAZINE | OCT-DEC 2015

its resources and huge population base. At what
cost are we inviting them to exploit our resources
will be explained in the rest of this article.
COMMUNICATION INFRASTRUCTURE
The communications sector provides the founda-
tion for information exchange for all other sectors
including voice, data, video and Internet connec-
tivity. As such, telecommunications systems are
part and parcel of other key national security and
emergency preparedness resources and are an
important component of the overall national cri-
tical infrastructure. It is therefore paramount to
recognize the importance communications has
for national security and related policies. At the
same time, it is important to recognize the key
factors upon which the communications infras-
tructure is dependent. In particular, the focus of
this research is the interdependencies between
the communications sector and the national criti-
cal infrastructure.
As the technological advancements are exponen-
tially rising in communications system enginee-
ring there are also new security challenges to be
addressed in this field. After Edward Snowden
exposed the snooping activities of global commu-
nication channels, many of the nations were jol-
ted over their security situation and raised con-
cerns over the USA’s act of massive surveillance.

 INFORMATION WARFARE

Information is the set of coded data, it can be stored, transported, manipulated and is
degradable. In the 3rd century BC, the Library of Alexandria was believed to house the
sum of human knowledge. The advent of the World Wide Web and other communication
technologies has significantly changed how we access information, the amount of infor-
mation available and the cost of collecting that information. In the 20th century due to
the two great wars i.e. World War I and World War II the field of strategic information
warfare has evolved and knowing the adversary’s strategic locations, war planning,
deployment of forces, weapons capability etc became the main priority for the ‘strategic
information warfare’. Therefore protection of information became very crucial and it
became national security priority for most of the western, European countries.

Flow of information takes place in many forms; of acquiring money and power and generating
one of the crucial forms is information broadcas- fear. Perhaps the most widely accepted formal
ted with transmitter through the medium called definition of Information Warfare is the model as-
carrier and received by the receiver at the other serted by the United States Department of De-
end. Human brains are also carriers of informa- fence which defines it as ‘an action to Deny, Ex-
tion but they can analyse, process and store it. ploit, Corrupt or Destroy the enemy’s information
Throughout history there have been many exam- and its functions; protecting ourselves against

and is called as “Information Warfare”.
The advent of information-theoretic models for
Information Warfare establishes this as an area
of study within the information sciences, in ad-

mage on national information infrastructures. As
portrayed in Figure 1, the strategic information
warfare is essence of the intersection of evolving
information warfare and post Cold War “Strategic
Warfare” concepts which warrants special recog-
nition and attention to the new facet of warfare.
The strategic information is the key element of
the communication system and securing it is the
biggest challenge. During world wars the mecha-
nism of passing the information from one place to
other in short time created a need to induct the
information into the electromechanical systems.
Since then information revolution has created
huge change in the electro-mechanics field and
created the branch communication systems or
Telecommunications.
FIVE EYES – PROJECT ECHELON
The United Kingdom and United States of Ame-
rica Agreement (UKUSA) is a multilateral agree-
ment for cooperation in signals intelligence be-
tween the United Kingdom and the United States.
It emerged from an informal agreement related
to the 1941 Atlantic Charter; this secret treaty
was renewed with the passage of the 1943 BRU-
SA Agreement. In the following years, it was ex-
tended to encompass Canada, Australia and New
Zealand. This alliance of intelligence coopera-
tion is also known as Five Eyes. Other countries,
known as “third parties”, such as Germany, the
Philippines and several Scandinavian countries
also joined the UKUSA community. Much of the
sharing of information is performed via the ul-
tra-sensitive STONEGHOST network, which con-
tains “the western world’s most closely guarded
secrets”. Besides laying down rules for intelligen-
ce sharing; the agreement formalized and ce-
mented the “Special Relationship” between UK
and the USA. Due to its status as a secret treaty,
its existence was not known even to the Prime
Minister of Australia until 1973, and it was not
disclosed to the public only in 2005. On 25 June
2010, for the first time in history, the full text of
the agreement was publicly released by Britain
and the USA. By the end of the cold war this ope-
ration was extended to project ECHELON. It is
originally a code name, and now used in global
media and in popular culture to describe signals
intelligence (SIGINT) collection and analysis ne-
twork.
Recently leaked documents by Edward Snow-
den showed the intelligence sharing activities
between the First World allies of the Cold War
are rapidly shifting into the digital realm of the
World Wide Web. After the information explosion
of snooping and surveillance activities the United
States of America went through its own security
self assessment. The resulting reports of security
analyses of the US communication infrastructu-
re and security systems jolted the entire White
House. The National Security Agency of the USA
itself was under surveillance by two tech-giants
of Israel.
The latest information regarding the NSA’s do-
mestic spying scandal raises an important ques-
tion: If America’s tech-giants didn’t ‘participate
knowingly’ in the dragnet of electronic commu-
nication, how does the NSA get all of their data?
One theory is that the NSA hired two secretive
Israeli companies to wiretap the U.S. telecommu-
nications network. In April 2012 Wired’s James
Bamford, author of the book “The Shadow Fac-
tory: The NSA from 9/11 to the Eavesdropping on
America”, reported that two companies with ex-
tensive links to Israel’s intelligence service pro-
vided hardware and software to wiretap the U.S.
telecommunications network for the National Se-
curity Agency (NSA). In 2007 a former Comman-
der of the highly secret Unit 8200 (i.e. Israel’s
NSA) told Forbes that the technology of Comver-
se (i.e. the company that owns Verint) was based
on the technology created by Unit 8200. One of
the founders of Verint, Jacob “Kobi” Alexander, is
a former Israeli intelligence officer. A co-founder
and former chairmen of Narus, Ori Cohen, told
Fortune in 2001 that even his partners worked on
certain technologies for the Israeli intelligence.
Having a foreign contractor, bug the telecom grid

would mean that not only the NSA but the Israe-
li Intelligence as well gained access to most of
the domestic traffic flowing through U.S. On the
other hand these reports also exposed the moles
in NSA who put USA’s national security at stake.
TARGET: INDIA
In the above case study we glanced at how USA
found itself under surveillance attack by the Is-
raeli companies and how by learning from their
mistakes took steps to strengthen their securi-
ty laws thereby reviewing those company con-
tracts after the incident. Ironically, these same
Israeli companies under investigations by the US
agencies are being welcomed with open arms
by the Indian government. The Indian govern-
ment is planning to grant the communication in-
frastructure installations contract to these same
companies under Digital India Smart Cities pro-
gram. The same Israeli surveillance firm Verint
Systems is set to get a contract from the Indian
Department of Telecommunications for mass sur-
veillance to facilitate government interception of
encrypted electronic communications.
India’s then UPA communications minister Ka-
pil Sibal met Verint’s leadership team in Israel
to “devise interception tools for tracking encryp-
ted communication services.” Verint expressed
44 | GREATGAMEINDIA MAGAZINE | OCT-DEC 2015
a “desire to work with the government to inter-
cept all forms of encrypted communications.” The
Indian government had “identified 15 forms of
encrypted communications, including Google’s
Gmail, RIM’s Blackberry services, Nokia’s email
offerings, Yahoomail and Microsoft Skype, among
others, that it claimed could not be tracked by
Indian law enforcement agencies.” This is just
one of the many such case studies that demons-
trate clearly the Indian government’s lack of un-
derstanding about even the basic tenets of infor-
mation warfare. Sadly, without any concept of a
comprehensive national security what is at stake
is the very sovereignty of our country.
Governments should be crystal-clear about the
conditions where telecom firms approach a na-
tional market of telecommunication and has to
review the security issues. That means deman-
ding to know where the hardware components
and software come from; requiring intrusive ran-
dom inspections of code and equipment. India
has no effective system of supply-chain checks.
The threat posed to India’s National Security in-
terests by vulnerabilities in the telecommunica-
tions supply chain is an increasing priority given
the country’s reliance on interdependent critical
infrastructure systems including the range of
threats these systems face; the rise in cyber es-

pionage; and the growing dependence all consu-
mers have on a small group of equipment provi-
ders.
Since the communication infrastructure systems
became the foundation of the national critical in-
frastructure like power grids, transportation, and
water pipelines etc, disrupting this communica-
tion system will cause a domino effect that would
lead to major a catastrophe. Historical evidences
tell us that these communication systems helped
the British to maintain its hegemony for more
than two decades through its postal services or
radio and telecommunication systems. These te-
chnologies are part of Hugill’s larger exploration
of the “commodification of information in the ser-
vice of society and the state”. He said information
is the power and who controls it will control the
power of decision making.
For instance a huge loss of Aadhaar (India’s Uni-
que Identity Data UID program) data occurred
during the transmission of data from Mumbai to
Bengaluru. This is just one of the incidents highli-
ghting potential threat to India and its strategic
communication by creating a lucrative database
under UID, which builds incentives for various in-
truders from hackers to enemy nations. Any mar-
keter would love to obtain such information for
targeted marketing. Global MNCs have sufficient
interest in the personal information of citizens;
for instance an insurance service provider would
be keen to get all personal information and then
base its decision on them. Most of the civil and
criminal cases in courts are fought on evidence
of illegally obtained telephone bills, call records
and bank/credit card details. There may be more
and easier availability of proofs and a larger
grey market trading in private information would
emerge if proper investigations are carried out.
Such information however could also be used for
sinister political motives as well; whether to buy
votes in parliament, silence political opponents
through bribery or legal means or the threat of
making such information public.
Apart from the above case studies there are mul-
tiple facets of communication threats from Chi-
na as well, although Chinese vendors marketing
and waging electronic warfare in India is a recent
phenomenon. Western firms like Nokia, Ericsson,
Lucent, CISCO etc are already established in In-
dia conducting deep route penetration into In-
dia’s strategic communication and waging direct
information warfare. Unfortunately in India the-
re is no comprehensive study of Communication
Infrastructure Security (CIS) keeping the above
perspective in mind. Under the shiny haze of glo-
balization and liberalization, India never unders-
tood nor designed the threat perceptions towards
developed nations. This is causing deep trouble
in India’s strategic sector in making stringent Na-
tional security policies. In this digital warfare era
Indian leadership and its political decisions are
pushing the entire population into virtual man-
holes.
This country and its youth with extreme talents
have to take their future from the now about-to-
be-extinct politicians and ask suitable questions
to shape the future of coming generations. Since
the last 12 years the country is on the definite
path of downward slide with every politician of
every shade degrading the youth talent, armed
forces talent, investigative agencies talent, po-
lice capabilities. Now these same politicians are
bringing their second and third generation into
power to increase internecine fights, raising the
dead horse of Hindu-Muslim fights even if they
are carried by unscrupulous foreign intelligence
agencies which serve only them. They want to
sell weapons and arms to both, the right wing
groups, Indian army and Indian police forces and
are willing to train both Indian Police and the ri-
ght wing extreme groups, be them Jihadi or right
wing Hindu groups. Unless young India wakes up
and come forward to take responsibility for their
careers, security, secular administration, balan-
ced development and the future of this diverse
country we will slide into a state from a beacon of
civilization into something like balkanized Afgha-
nistan.

SPACE WARS
After the launch of the Rus-
sian Kosmos 2490 triplets
since 2013 fresh fears over
the revival of a defunct
Kremlin project to destroy
satellites were aroused. In
2007, China pissed off go-
vernments all over the world
when it blasted one of its
own defunct satellites with a
rocket, scattering thousands
of shards of metal across
low orbit and endangering
countless active spacecrafts.
At a time when government
agencies, armies, scientists
and everyday people depend
on satellites for communica-
tions, surveillance, science
and navigation; what would
happen if one could spy on,
hijack or even destroy those
sats? It would certainly upset
the orbital balance of power.
Is that the reason why the
US shut of its GPS satellites
causing the BrahMos missile
test to fail?
MURDER IN
BANGLADESH
Recently an Italian citizen,
Cesare Tavella working for
a Dutch church based or-
ganization ICCO was shot
dead in Bangladesh. Imme-
diately, Chicago based SITE
blamed the assassination on
ISIS followed by the entire
western mainstream media.
However after investigations
the Blangladeshi agencies
denied any involvement of
ISIS in the murder. What
actually happened? In 2012,
ICCO joined a coalition of
22 European NGOs in pro-
ducing a report, “Trading
Away Peace: How Europe
Helps Sustain Illegal Israeli
Settlements,” which calls on
the EU and national govern-
ments to wage political war-
fare through various forms
of economic sanctions on Is-
rael. ICCO founded in 1964
receives large scale funding
from the Dutch government;
the Dutch government also
views ICCO as an impor-
tant partner in the Middle
East. When an NGO recei-
ves a sizeable portion of its
budget from governments,
it is no longer a non-gover-
nmental organization. And
when such funding to NGOs
is provided by allied states
such as the U.S. or the UK,
or international unions such
as the EU, and Israel etc it
constitutes disproportiona-
te interference by external
governments in the internal
affairs of another democratic
state. Was this assassination
a part of the ongoing conflict
between the Israeli organi-
zations and the European
based church funded orga-
nizations? Moreover, what
does it imply when these
organizations carry out their
shadowy conflict in broad
daylight thereby taking co-
ver and blaming the hit on
ISIS?
EU AGRICULTURE
ON THE VERGE OF
COLLAPSE
Hundreds of French farmers
and more than 1,300 tractors
recently converged on cen-
tral Paris in the latest protest
against collapsing econo-
mies. Earlier in the summer
protesting farmers throu-
ghout the country dumped
manure in cities, blocked
access to roads and stopped
tourists from travelling to
the popular Mont St-Michel
Island in northern France.
In response to European
economic sanctions impo-
sed on Russia earlier over its
alleged involvement in the
Ukrainian conflict, Russia
banned the import of meat,
fish, diary, fruit and vege-
tables from the European
Union (EU) last summer.
Due to the Russian food em-
bargo, the EU has already
lost €21 billion since the be-
ginning of the embargo, and
could lose up to €81 billion
over time. Tired of rioting
farmers, France along with
other EU countries is despe-
rately looking for any excuse
to lift Russian sanctions. Eu-
rope is getting feisty again;
time for another mysterious
airplane shoot-down?
CURRENCY WARS
A month back China surpri-
sed the world by announcing
a dramatic devaluation of its
currency, following which
the Renminbi (also called
yuan) witnessed its biggest
one-day fall in a decade. Is
this devaluation a reaction
to the Global Currency War?
How will China’s devalua-
tion of its currency impact
India? Is it also a coincidence
at the fall of the rupee coin-
cided with the passing of the
FDI bill when investors were
lined up to bring dollars into
India?
INDEPENDENCE OR
DOMINION?
India was granted a domi-
nion status on August 15,
1947. According to Balfour
Declaration of 1926 ‘domi-
nions’ is defined as autono-
mous communities within
the British Empire but uni-
ted by a common allegiance
to the Crown. So, by the de-
finition, India was an auto-
nomous community “within
the British Empire”. So, why
do we celebrate August 15th
as our Independence Day?

THE ORIENT AND THE
ORIENTALS
INTRODUCTION
When India was neither divided nor occupied by
the British, the following article was written by
Afghani a resident of the subcontinent of India in
1883 where he analyzed the coming dangers to
India which they viewed as a source of inspiration
and centre of knowledge. He also analyzed the
British mind and the Great Game at that time in-
cisively and explained their methods for one and
all. Most importantly he warned that Indian inte-
llectual mind will be destroyed, disrupted and dis-
sipated where by making India a voluntary slave
nation. He warned the Balkanization of India and
Talibanization of every religious group in India. In
the end he said there is still time to correct our-
selves and correct the course of mankind. From
the time of Afghani, Afghans in general, Pathans
in particular, never recognized the partition of In-
dia. For them it is still India of yesterday years.
True to his predictions, India became forever (in)
dependent on her masters; her mind conquered,
intellect destroyed, and wisdom blown to winds.
With the destruction of Kashmir, India’s spiritual
strength also descended into abysmal ignoran-
ce leaving jnanam Mleccha (mleccha meaning
“non-Vedic”, “barbarian”, also romanized as “Mle-
chchha” or “Maleccha” referred to people of fo-
reign extraction in ancient India) in control of all
her affairs-from spiritual to political.
Now, either telling the truth or gaining knowledge
became a crime, or people who want to blow the
whistle at crimes and to pursue truth are being
polarized on deceitful slogans or are becoming
experimental objects of mockery in the world.
One such polarization is a common belief of many
such misguided nationalists that any one, if has
a Muslim sounding name, must be either a Pakis-
SYED JAMAL-UL-DIN AFGHAN, 9 FEBRUARY 1883
tani or a terrorist. So all such people should be
sent to Pakistan using the next available quickest
transportation system. But many forget that In-
dia has more number of Muslims than the entire
population of our western neighbours.
The following video titled as “Salim Khan replies
to protesters, critics; asks to send him to Afgha-
nistan instead of Pakistan” was shot on the oc-
casion of the success meet of the movie Baja-
rangi Bhaijan in which Salman Khan’s father is
accused of being a Pakistani and a terrorist and
was asked to go back to Pakistan. But the smi-
ling descendant of Afghani stated that he was a
Pathan from Afghanistan and came to India with
other Afghans and he would never go to Pakistan
and if at all he goes he will go to his motherland
Afghanistan.
Today, what we forget is, after independence In-
dians looted many of our cultural heritage sites
sold temple properties, confiscated temple weal-
th on a scale of thousand times more than what
other invaders did. Also we never talk about the
loot and plunder of British and Portuguese in In-
dia or the extent of damage Europeans did to our
intellectual mind set. We hope the video and this
article opens a new avenue of thinking towards
true learning in the otherwise dead intellect of
many Indians and will show a bright future to the
country -

 THE ORIENT AND THE ORIENTALS
BY: SYED JAMAL-UL-DIN AFGHAN
9 FEBRUARY 1883
The Orient has fallen down in a pit of misery and
wretchedness from her high position of magni-
ficence. Poverty and hunger are prevailing over
her inhabitants. Disgrace and indignity is in com-
mand over them. Being under the attack of the
Foreigners, it has deprived them from the shine
of wisdom, inspiration, and reasoning. They have
forsaken to take advantage from their intellect
and have ruined their morality. That is why they
have chosen brutal and/or sheepish way of life.
They pay no attention or think about any talk or
issue. They do not refrain from wickedness and
corruption. They have not learnt to try hard in or-
der to earn a better livelihood and to save them-
selves from danger and loss.
Their mind is overpowered by sleepiness. Their
thoughts and ideas are too weak to improve
themselves. Their eyes are excused to see and
identify those miseries and wretchedness’s that

48 | GREATGAMEINDIA MAGAZINE | OCT-DEC 2015
have covered their atmosphere and have na-
rrowed the space on them. Their steps take them
to the fall in the pits of destruction, corruption,
annihilation, and perishing. For the dark desires
of their self-interests, they have found their pa-
ths in the deviations of fear. They are following
these same fears and suspicions; and parallel to
it, they are leading the way for corruption, mis-
chief, perverting, and deviation in nature.
Until the time that their bodies are not struck
by calamities, they would not feel the pain. And
when the pains relieve them, they will quickly
forget it like a beast. They do not sense the di-
lapidation and shabbiness of their intellect. Their
eyes are covered with the film of ignorance. Be-
cause of abundance in neglect and carelessness,
they give the living a meaning only for this life.
Like the beast, the eating, the drinking, and the
mere surviving has become the imagination and
notion for life. Fame, commemorations, recollec-
tions, and the tastes of pride and honour that are
chosen for the enjoyment of Human Beings have
no relation with them.
They are not able to anticipate or evaluate the
outcome of their actions. They do not want to try
finding what they have lost. Whatever obstacles
and problems exist in front of them, they do not
try to remove or solve them. Whatever problems,
hardships, and difficulties that are brought about
by the environment, they do not want to unders-
tand them or diagnose them. That is why they
are facing misery, misfortunes, infamy, and pu-
blic disgrace and do not feel or attach them to
themselves, and is so unconcerned about all the-
se serious issues.
He is happy with this slavery and has forgotten
his previous grandeur and magnificence. When
someone falls down from such a high level of
intellectual and advancement position, he loses
the dignity and his rank also. Cruelty and tyran-
ny become dominant on their hearts. Fault, sel-
fishness, and disgrace have taken a firm grip on
them. While having a miserable and degrading
state, he still makes proud and majestic state-
ments. He wants Division and Enmity to be pre-
valent among the General Public. Betrayal and
Treachery are laws for him. Spite and tell tales
are his Slogans. Greediness and covetousness
are garments for him. He considers impudence,
malice, and villainy to be his dignity.
They are famous for timidity and fearfulness than
all the rest. They satisfy their inferior level desires
quickly. They have grown up in the enjoyment of
their physical desires. They rely much on feeble-
ness and disorder. They have adapted for them-
selves the attributes of the beasts. They force the
strong to become weak. They scheme to defame
the honourable persons and force them to their
slavery. They are traitors to their own Countries
and are tyrants to their neighbours. They plunder
the possessions of the weak persons. They do not
abstain from breach of promise, perjury, and vio-
lation of treaty. They cooperate with the Enemies
in the destruction of their Motherland. Honour
and Manliness have no meaning to them at all.
In their opinion, a wise person is unwise; a Ruler
is one who is Tyrant. And in Justice, the Judge
is a Traitor who betrays. He has no Advisor or a
Guide to show him the right path. There is no one
who would teach, and there is no one who would
awake them from the deep sleep of mental and
moral lapse. To summarize, after having become
accustomed not conforming to accepted morality,
and their intellectual faculty has deteriorated and
has become inferior, they have become victims of
misery and destruction.
The events that have happened to the Orientals
are explained above. After giving enough consi-
deration, we can say that they are facing per-
manent misery and destruction because of their
deviation from the path of their intellect. They
are themselves the cause for the destruction of
their Countries by their improper management
that lacks prudence, anticipation, and exact
evaluation. Because of their improper policies,
and not anticipating the means and remedies of
counteracting or removing anything undesirable,
they have become weak. Because of their lack of
knowledge and their wickedness, and also becau-
se of their joint conspiracies, they have facilitated
the circumstances for the rule of Foreigners in
their Countries.
At the time that Shah Sultan Hussain was ru-
ling, he wanted to invade the Isfahan where the
Afghans were ruling. In confrontation to Shah
Hussain, the Ottomans conspired with the Rus-
sian Monarchy to share the Iranian Cities be-
tween themselves. If the Ottoman King would
have implemented intelligent plans and policies
and would have understood the inherent natu-
re of the Russians and would have known what
kind of conspiracies they were scheming with the
Greeks, Romanians, Serbians, and the Bulga-
rians, and as a result of their Treaties what and
how much more dangerous and powerful their
Enemy would have become by their this coopera-
tion; then they would never have agreed to their
joint conspiracies with the Russians; and instead,
would have tried hard to dismantle their founda-
tion and bases.
When Abbas Mirza was busy in the Battlefield
with his Army fighting against the Russians and
trying to free his Land, at the same time the Ot-
toman Turks started a War with the Iranians that
resulted to the weakening of the Iranians who
could not then defend themselves against the
Russian attacks. The Russians took over many
of the Cities in Azerbaidzhan (Azerbaijan). If the
Ottomans would have consulted their intellect;
they would have found out that the weakness of
Iran meant the strength of the Russians that was
focussed at the destruction of the Ruling Autho-
rity in Turkey. But, they followed their Fears and
Suspicions and were repeatedly saying, “Whate-
ver we are doing, we are doing right!” Therefore,
they speeded up the implementation of the Plans
for their own destruction. The intellect glow of
torches had been taken away from them. They
did have the Political Guidelines and Policies with
themselves and could see their strong Religious
relation with the Iranian Monarchy. If instead of
differences and enmity; they would have wor-
Volume 01 Issue 02 | 49
ked for their Unity and would have weakened the
power and strength of the Russians; they would
ultimately have saved themselves from so much
dangerous destruction and devastations.
When Tippu Sultan became the Ruler of Mysore,
he sent his Ambassador to the Court of the Ot-
toman to talk to them, on his behalf, regarding
his proposal to exchange the City of Basra for
some of the Indian Cities. The Monarchy of Otto-
man did not pay any attention to this matter and
returned Tippu’s Representative empty-handed.
Sultan Tippu’s objective from this Proposed Deal
was only to increase the influence of Ottomans in
India in order to lessen the power and pressure
of the British on India. But, unfortunately, the Ot-
tomans did not pay attention to build strong uni-
ted relations with India. If they had considered
this proposal of Tippu favourably; all the Rulers in
that Region would have gone under the Banner of
Ottoman without any question. But, they devia-
ted from their intellectual powers and capabilities
and neglected this very important issue in the
Field of Politics and did not do their homework
to understand that the expansion of European
Power and Rule in Asia was dangerous for the
stability of their own Country.
When the Afghans wanted to free India from the
British Aggression and Domination and were on
their way to Military Expeditions in India for this
purpose, the Ruler of Iran, Fateh Ali Shah, tried
to please the British by attacking the Western
Provinces of Afghanistan in order to prevent the
Afghans from saving India from the Claws of the
British. If at this time the Iranians would have
used their Common Sense, Intellect, and Reaso-
ning; they would have understood that the ad-
vancing of the British in India are strategies and
fast steps for getting closer to great threats and
destruction to their own Country (Iran). If the
Iranians would have thought carefully and more
deeply; they would have found out also that the
Iranians and the Afghans are two Branches of
one Tree. There exist strong and true ropes of
Race, Principles, and Brotherhood between the
50 | GREATGAMEINDIA MAGAZINE | OCT-DEC 2015
People of these two Countries. They share the
same and equal Self-respect, Honour, and Dig-
nity. They also equally share their Hardships,
Grace, and Credibility. Between them, it is only
those groundless Fears that have created Sepa-
ration originating from the Religious suspicions
and mistrusts where there are no realities in the-
se Fears. If amongst them only one Party would
have taken advantage from their Intellect and
Reasoning; they would have considered Unity a
necessity and indispensable Means to regain their
ancient magnificence and height.
The Afghan Ruler, Emir Dost Mohammad Khan,
was doing the same thing at that time by clo-
sing his eyes and paved the way for the domi-
nation of his Country by the British. In order to
confront the British, he concluded a Treaty with
Ranjeet Singh to jointly stop the advance of the
British. But, by instigation of the British, he left
Ranjeet Singh alone at the Battlefield. Emir Dost
Mohammad Khan not only didn’t favour his mu-
tual Treaty with Ranjeet Singh, but badly crushed
him by his Army, also. it resulted to the defeat of
Ranjeet Singh’s Army and the British took over
Punjab that is neighbouring Afghanistan. If Emir
Dost Mohammad Khan would have sought assis-
tance from his intellect and good reasoning and
would have anticipated the result of his actions;
he would have found out that he badly needed
a strong Punjab Government in order to defend
Afghanistan against the attacks of the British.
Punjab was a strong wall between Afghanistan
and the British Rulers that the Afghans demoli-
shed it with their own hands. Emir Dost Moham-
mad should have defended the Punjab State in a
manner as if she were his own Country.
In India, the Nawab (Governor) of Bengal, and
the Nawab of Karnataka helped and facilitated
the coming of the Foreigners to their Country. By
doing so, they weakened the Nawab of Lucknow
of the Timurid Monarchy. The Nawab of Deccan
helped the British to defeat the Government of
Sultan Tippu.
People of Bukhara celebrated the victory of the
Russians over Quqand residents. In the same
manner, when Bukhara was invaded by the So-
viets, the Turkmen were embracing each other in
congratulatory celebrations. The Afghans and the
Iranians celebrated the crush and defeat of the
Turkmen. All these were the outcome of the los-
ses and devastations that resulted from the ad-
vancement of the Russians engulfing the above
mentioned people and communities putting them
in the deep sleep of neglect. It was because of
their ignorance and their self-interests and gre-
ediness that kept them so busy that they forgot
their true and historical glory and pride leading
them towards deprivation of wisdom, destruc-
tion, corruption, and forcing them to go deeper
in their adversity
If Madhat Pasha and his friends would have used
their intellect and common sense and would have
benefitted from prudence and good management;
he would have understood that his government
is surrounded from all sides by dangers and the
stability of his government is getting out of his
control. If they would not have idly been sitting
at their meetings and would have anticipated and
had planned for the worst; they would not have
faced the same destiny of the deposed Sultan Ab-
dul Aziz’s death who was misled and not doing his
homework. But, they also relied on their illusions,
fears, and worries and got deceived and trapped
in the plays and games of the others, and he him-
self invited his people for their self-destruction.
He thought that he was doing something good
and bringing improvements. He was looking at
the things from the eyes of Ismael Pasha, being
self-centered and dreaming to possess Power. His
greediness to become the king was growing day
by day. He borrowed money from the European
money lenders at high interest rates. And finally,
what did he achieve from all of this? It all ended
to his expulsion from the country.
The Wazirs (Ministers) of Tawfiq Pasha, based
on their ignorance and trivial Worries and Fears,
tried hard to bring foreigners to Egypt and put
them in power to run their country. They thou-
ght that by doing so, they would save themselves
from their enemies. If they would have profound-
ly studied the European politics; they would not
have invited the foreigners for the destruction of
their country, and would not have made the mis-
take entering the lair of the lion from the fear of
the dog.
Talking so far on the events of the People in the
East, it is revealed that they are not following
proper Guidance and Vigilance in Politics, and are
completely not benefitting from their intellect,
reasoning, and wisdom. They do not give their
possessions an intelligent look and an expert
evaluation. They put their countries into flames
with their own hands. Based on improper policy,
prudence, and management, they put their cities
to devastation. They are blaming their enemies
for all their corrupt actions and wrongdoings. The
elders should have taught the young about the
fires and flames so that the young would have
saved themselves from these calamities, and
would have worked harder towards their natio-
nal unity, and should have avoided all these divi-
sions, separations, isolations, and hostilities and
should have been strong enough not to have run
away from the fears and dangers. Alas! That it
didn’t work that way … The young also followed
the path of the elders. They favoured the same
mistakes. Holding of trust has become difficult
for them. Treachery and betrayal have become
a general habitual action and performance for
them. The threads of love and affection have
been cut off. Everybody looks only at himself and
at his self-interests not knowing that his happi-
ness is tied to the happiness of all his people. It is
because of this egoism and self-conceit that the
Orientals got reduced to poverty. And, in spite of
all this, there are still ways for compensation and
retaliation. There is still time for identifying and
understanding. The doors are not yet closed on
them for hopes and mean.

26/11 MUMBAI ATTACKS

A HIGH PROFILE MEET &
AN ASSASSINATION
Even after seven years why there are so many questions still unanswered in the
26/11 Mumbai Attacks case. Isn’t it a failure for us as a Nation? Is it not time still
for a new orientation towards understanding the nature and motive of crime and
terrorism in this global era of liberalization?

In the previous article on the Mumbai Attacks in
the first issue of GreatGameIndia we reviewed
the security issues in the Indian subcontinent
with a comparative analysis of the Spanish Mum-
bai train bombings raising concerns over a new
orientation in our National Security. In this article
we take a deeper look at the 26/11 Mumbai At-
tacks of 2008 with facts hitherto ignored or ne-
ver taken into consideration by our investigative
agencies and try to answer the many questions
that still remain unanswered to this day.
The attacks on Taj, Oberoi Hotels and Nariman
House in Mumbai were peculiar and it is quite
possible that the targets at these three esta-
blishments were high value individuals and the
who’s who of western intelligence agencies. For
us to understand our own security needs better,
we need to look at the situation through a new
prism. A visit to the Spanish capital by the secu-
rity agencies will give a new orientation towards
understanding the nature and motive of crime
and terrorism in this global era of liberalization.
The age-old Latin saying “Qui Bono” i.e. “Who
benefited from the act?” and the economic trail
is what needs to be followed. In case of global
terrorism, interspersed with State sponsored te-
rrorism or cases of democratic nations supporting
State sponsored terrorism for geo-political gains,
the question that needs to be asked is, “Who is
benefiting the most?” It will be helpful to take
into consideration the long range economic be-
nefits and policy shifts desired by the handlers
of these groups and nations, which may provide
true insight into the nature of real global terro-
rism, instead of falling in line with the idea of
immediate theoretical emotional benefits for few
terrorist outfits.
From the very start of the new millennium, the
Indian NDA government took a 180-degree turn
ditching the Non-Aligned Policy by openly moving
into the US-Britain-Israeli camp. After that, the
UPA government also appeared to be slowly fo-
llowing the policy NDA started.
At a larger geo-political level, the questions
that need to be asked are:
1. Are the Mumbai bombings like Spanish
bombings a warning to the ruling coali-
tion to change the course of either their
foreign or domestic policy?
2. Was the timing of the Mumbai train
blasts determined by the want to paint

well. Standing by such corporations is one of the
prime strategic objectives of any nation. Arms
trade, after all, estimated to be worth billions of
dollars is an essential component of economies.
The other fallout of the Mumbai train blasts was,
as pointed out by certain retired senior Mumbai
Police officials, the penetration of foreign intelli-
gence security apparatus to protect their support
organizations. For many years, British and Israeli
intelligence agencies have been trying to pene-
trate Indian establishments. This first hand inte-
lligence is needed by them to make decisions on
economic policies and gain benefits for their nati-
ve corporations. India has also set up its massive
counter intelligence wing to deal with such pe-
netration. Of late it has become easier for Israe-
li and British intelligence to penetrate rightwing
organizations and thus have access to other de-
partments of the Indian government, aided by a
shared ideology on Islamic terrorism.
Is it this infiltration angle and the nexus between
rightwing organizations and Israeli intelligence,
thus US intelligence, which was uncovered by the
slain ATS Chief Hemant Karkare? He was an ex
R&AW operative who could have possibly zeroed
on or atleast made significant progress in crac-
king the non-Islamic ring of terror. That could be
the reason why he was targeted in a seemingly

54 | GREATGAMEINDIA MAGAZINE | OCT-DEC 2015
This leaves one with an important question and
raises serious doubts about the entire 2008 Mum-
bai attack operation.
• One is a definite hit, which involved the killing
of the ATS chief, the encounter specialist and
DCP of Maharashtra police along with other
constables.
• A diversion was set up at Chatrapati Shivaji
Terminal (CST) station; the ATS Chief was lu-
red in and fired upon from point blank range
on a moving vehicle and killed.
• The subsequent capture of Ajmal Kasab and
his confession that ten people were involved
and five were still at large (which was corro-
borated by evidence left behind).
• London based journalist Saeed Shah repor-
ted that Ajmal was in fact from Faridkot along
with 9 others and that all were part of the
package to eliminate the ATS Chief.
• Now the question is, Qui bono? Who benefits
more from this? Dawood who was hard hit?
Or the ISI and others as they eliminated a
key counter terror expert? Or the Israeli and
British Intelligence as they were able to cover
their tracks of infiltration among rightwing
militant organizations?
• Hemant Karkare was working against all of
the above mentioned groups’ interests, espe-
cially the last one, who desperately wanted to
remain invisible and feared that the dreaded
R&AW in the Indian sub continent would blow
away its cover.
Evidence provided by many analysts has brought
to light the fact that Karkare was killed because
he tried to investigate the involvement of righ-
twing hardliners in the terror attack on Samjhau-
ta Express, which provoked religious tensions
in India. During the same investigations even
Lt. Col. Prasad Shrikant Purohit involvement in
deadly attack was also brought to light.
In the petition filed by Radhakant Yadav, 77, for-
mer MLA from Bihar which was broadly based on
the contentious book written by ex-Inspector Ge-
neral of Police, Maharashtra, and a close friend
of Karkare, SM Mushriff he stated that a parallel
operation was planned and executed by Abhinav
Bharat with the connivance and aide of commu-
nal officers of the Intelligence Bureau that coin-
cided with the 26/11 attack. The petition alleges
that Karkare was targeted as he was about to
arrest some industrialists, diamond merchants
and builders who allegedly funded the activities
of Abhinav Bharat.
Analysts like C. Uday Bhaskar feel, “Frankly this
is a statement of fact, Karkare was investigating
the Samjhauta attack and questioning certain
people. I believe it is important not to get emo-
tional but be as transparent as possible. At the
end of the day we need to get certain answers
from Pakistan and it is best to give as much as we
reasonably can without getting agitated.”
BUT WHO ACTUALLY HIT THE TAJ HOTEL?
Now, if what Ajmal Kasab was saying is
true, then out of the ten terrorists who
infiltrated India, four were killed and one
was captured alive, but what about the five
who escaped? Did all militants perish? Or is
it correct in saying as many analysts poin-
ted out that there were actually 30 peo-
ple involved in the attacks? Who precisely
carried out these attacks at Taj, Oberoi and
Nariman House simultaneously coinciding
with the elimination of the ATS Chief?
Two of the three locations which were attacked
had gatherings which were attended by wealthy
diamond merchants and the third was of a reli-
gious significance to the Jews. Every Islamic fun-
damentalist outfit has been penetrated by Israeli
agents except for a few, like the Hezbollah; it is
now part of Standard Operation Procedure (SOP)
that every intelligence agencies follows. Israeli
intelligence have also penetrated fringe radical
Christian groups and are known for friendly sp-
ying even on America. Be it an Iraqi Christian
pilot defecting with MIG 21 to Israel or the re-
Volume 01 Issue 02 | 55
cent killing of Abu Mugneveigh in Syria, all bore,
according to experts, the standard hallmark of
Israeli intelligence.
It is important to note that former Joint Director
of Intelligence Bureau and distinguished author,
Maloy Krishna Dhar, previously detailed in his
book, “Fulcrum of Evil ISI - CIA - Al Qaeda Ne-
xus”, the nefarious workings of Pakistan’s feared
ISI as they continue efforts with the CIA and their
combined ‘terrorist groups’ Al Qaeda and Taliban
towards plunging India from proxy war into Total
War.
The two targets, the ATS Chief and the three buil-
dings that were selected, are diagonally opposite
in nature and texture. The former is definitely not
in favor of either the underworld or the foreign
intelligence agencies that want to penetrate into
India using the cover of rightwing militant orga-
nizations.
The latter mentioned targets, Taj and Oberoi hos-
ted ‘distinguished guests’ during the last week of
November 2008. Most of them were coordinators
of intelligence in South Asia. Few names that re-
sided there being, former US Secretary of State
Henry Kissinger and elite members of President
Elect Barack Obama’s Global Economic Team in
India attending the “American Foreign Policy Af-
ter Elections Conference” organized by the Con-
federation of Indian Industry (CII) and Aspen
Institute India in Mumbai.
The members of Obama’s elite economic team
attending this conference with Kissinger were In-
dian-Americans, Sonal Shah (Head Global Deve-
lopment Efforts at Google.org), Aneesh Chopra
(Virginia State’s Secretary of Technology), Vivek
Kundra (Chief Technology Officer for Washington
DC) and Kartik Raghavan (Director at Microsoft).
Also reports indicate that Obama’s pick for the US
Secretary of Treasury, Timothy Geithner, was ab-
sent from these meetings despite his long stan-
ding ties to India where he was raised; he is said
to have been represented by as yet ‘unknown’
aides from the US Federal Reserve Bank.
56 | GREATGAMEINDIA MAGAZINE | OCT-DEC 2015
Were these distinguished guests rethinking
how to save falling western economies with
the aid of India? As often, history makes it
a habit to repeat itself; in the last 200 years
whenever the West was in trouble, the East
India Companies (EIC) or subsequent ma-
naging partners of EICs plundered India’s
human and natural resources for their sur-
vival. In this ‘Great Game’ they kept other
geo-political players at bay. Since more
than the last decade, under UPA and NDA
administrations, Indian foreign policy and
domestic economic policy is veering dange-
rously closer to US-British-Israeli economic
interests, viewed by other geo-political pla-
yers as an encroachment. Did other geo-po-
litical players view this meeting as a pene-
tration of their turf?
The purpose of this conference in India at Taj was
to advocate for the planned Iran-Pakistan-India
gas pipeline project. Though strongly opposed by
the Bush Administration and Pakistan’s ISI Inte-
lligence Service in the past, Obama had planned
on making it a ‘centerpiece’ towards his goal of
achieving peace in Southeast Asia, and to which
Kissinger had stated:
“The pipeline will be a natural thing to do
and I expect the new administration [to
be headed by Obama] to begin discussions
with Iran.”
Reports from India have shown that their Naval
Forces intercepted a Pakistani merchant ship,
stated in these reports to have brought the te-
rrorists behind these attacks to India, and which
intelligence sources have confirmed was jointly
owned and operated by the ISI and CIA.
THE CHABAD-SAFE HOUSE
If we follow the brief history of Chabad House
then it is clear that this spiritual Israeli sect has
rubbed off many times on both sides of the law.
It is also clear from various reports that Nariman
House is used as a go between for various inte-
lligence agents of every country that thinks they
hold a stake in India. Some interesting notes on
Chabad Lubavitch are:
• Tsar Paul-1 of Russia had arrested the foun-
der of the movement.
• Suggestions are made that the founder was
influencing the French Revolution.
• Sixth head played a key role in the Russian
Revolution and in World War II.
• Interacted with German and Holland Bankers
about anti-Semitism.
• Founded the clandestine “Habad Yeshiva Sys-
tem” which was then placed under continual
NKVD surveillance.
• Was sentenced to death for counter-revo-
lutionary acts, but International Red Cross
exerted pressure to free him.
According to some scholars, Rabbi Shneur Zal-
man’s first arrest was not the result of anti-Ha-
sidic Mitnagdim agitators fabricating charges or
officials seeking extortion monies. An accusation
was made on May 8, 1798 by Hirsh ben David of
Vilna, accusing Rabbi Shneur Zalman of trying to
assist the French Revolution by sending money
to Napoleon and the Sultan. It appears that there
was no such person as Hirsh and the authorities
were attempting to stir up internecine fighting
among the Jews.
A bitter rivalry has been ongoing in Russia for the
past 10 years between Berel Lazar, Chief Rabbi
for the Chabad-Lubavitch dominated Federation
of Jewish Communities and Yevgeny Satanovs-
ky, President of the pluralist Russian Jewish Con-
gress, over who is the official representative of
the Jews of Russia.
This second aspect gives more credence to the
first plot of killing of the ATS Chief by hired LeT
operatives or men mediated by Western Intelli-
gence agencies for their larger geopolitical pur-
pose. This way as the proof of the operations
starts appearing prophetically and the buck of
the operation stops at LeT Headquarters in POK.
Demolishing few buildings, arresting few opera-
tives of LeT and prolonging their cases in the Pa-
kistani courts for more than 25 years will prevent
Indian investigative agencies from going beyond
the western border to seek the masterminds or
understand the real game of intelligence. The
area of intelligence, counter-intelligence and the
protection of national economic resources is not a
game for all. India is just waking up to it whereas
the west and other geo-political players are ve-
terans. It is a game played by the rules of these
veteran players and we cannot define them, but
have to understand and play by them.
But the later attack on the very planners by the
same LeT looks highly suspicious, even for the
handlers themselves; it was surprising. Even the
Pakistani establishment was surprised and was
prepared to send their Chief to clarify things.
But changed their mind later, after the so-called
“threatening call” from then Indian Foreign Minis-
ter. The Foreign Ministers’ office denied making
any such call. The entire purpose of this call see-
med to be that of preventing the ISI Chief coming
to India and restarting a fresh era of co-opera-
tion. According to LA Times report by staff writers
Laura King and Henry Chu on 7 December 2008,
titled ‘Hoax call prompted a Pakistani air alert”:
“A hoax caller claiming to be India’s Fo-
reign Minister threatened Pakistan’s Pre-
sident with war during the final hours of
the Mumbai attacks, prompting Islamabad
to put its Air Force on its highest alert for
nearly 24 hours, a news report said Satur-
day.”
Analyzing this information analyst Justin Raimon-
do puts it into perspective thus on 8 December
2008 in his article, “How did the Mumbai pranks-
ter get through to the President of Pakistan?
Simple, caller ID! Naturally, these things can be
faked, but what do they know in Pakistan?”
Volume 01 Issue 02 | 57
“My guess is that whoever did it had a direct con-
nection to the organizers of the Mumbai Terror
attacks. After all, their goal was clearly to pro-
voke a war between India and Pakistan, and one
can hardly conceive of a more direct way to ac-
complish it. The call, I believe, also provides a
clue to the identity of the Mumbai terrorists. All
I’m saying, at this juncture, is that this points
to some interested third party as the probable
culprit”.
Who and how could one get direct access to secu-
red Pakistani government phone lines? How could
one then imitate the Indian Foreign Ministers’
voice, even using Voice Morphing technology?
The purpose may not have been to provoke war
but more so to prevent the ISI chief coming to
India to aid certain issues. This could have irked
some, as the trip might have provided a different
explanation.
This gives credence to the theory that there is a
strong section within the ISI, which is opposed to
British and Israeli interference within Pakistan’s
policymaking. Incorporation of geo-political and
economic aspects in terrorist operations will de-
finitely give us the direction needed to identify
the masterminds behind these heinous acts. It is
in this direction that the attention of our security
agencies and police needs to be oriented, in order
to face the challenges of the new millennium.
Russian President on a visit to India stated that
the Taj attack is more in line with Benslan attacks
in Russia, indicating the Chechen-Saudi-Israe-
li-US connection. British Prime Minister offered
help and even requested the custody of Ajmal
Kasab for British police; flatly holding the LeT
responsible. But the same British government
was silent when many other terrorist incidents
were perpetuated on Indian soil. In fact history
taught us that London is the political headquar-
ters for many declared terrorist organizations like
the LTTE. Many terrorists, who have perpetuated
heinous crimes, were never arrested in London
on grounds of never having committed any crime
on British soil.
58 | GREATGAMEINDIA MAGAZINE | OCT-DEC 2015
Of course, closed circuit cameras, explosive iden-
tifying equipment, sniff dogs etc. do provide se-
curity to a limited level; but knowledge of the
motives and the source of such motives will let
us plan better for the security of innocent lives. If
we do not plan well, then the Mumbai blasts will
not be the last but the first in a series of many
such attacks to come, on soft targets that pa-
ralyze growth and tear the fabric of the country
apart into sectarian camps.
Given the incident of the ‘Naval War Room Leak’
on a pen drive and the subsequent incidents after
that, like failure of missile tests and GSLV, one fe-
els that a few thousand dollars will provide access
to anything in India including details of its next
20 years’ war plans. Still, by knowing the actual
planners, we can hope to prevent such human
tragedies in future. The classic defections that
marred the cold war era between Soviet Union
and the Western world are starting to appear in
the Indian context too. The high priced RAW ope-
rative defecting to Virginia with family via Nepal
was the beginning.
“The Art of War” written by TsunZu, which is con-
sidered to be the bible of strategy by many says
“Expect what your enemy wants you to do and do
exactly the opposite to win the war”. The quote
sounds deceptively simple but has far reaching
implications on the survival of empires and go-
vernments. In that light it would be unwise to
yield to the enemy trap by discarding the peace
process when the western neighbors are the first
to condemn these attacks. As is the case with
many of the terrorist groups, they are controlled
not only by the states that sponsor terrorism but
by the nations that sponsor the states that spon-
sor such terrorism too. So though all evidence
eventually leads to the North Western frontier of
India, to learn who instigates these groups, their
actions, their modus operandi and their previous
track record would guide us in doing what we as a
third world neutral sovereign country should do.
We hope to make a beginning in this new direc-
tion.

DEAR EDITOR
While receiving your magazine from the courier boy on behalf
of my daughter Saumya, I had a sneak upon the front cover
of your magazine and could not resist borrowing it for detailed
reading. Having read and re-read it I am feeling so enriched
about our national treasures of wealth and natural resources
that the true meaning of why India was called SONE KI CHIDIA
(Golden Goose) became clear. Ofcourse, the deceitful plans for
looting it and destroying our cultural, ethnic and economic
richness left me deeply hurt.
All subjects have been extensively researched and articulated
to publish in a very convincing manner. Any sensible reader
can connect the various facts which leads to a well established
truth that our great nation has been subjected to murderous
assaults for centuries with the tacit connivance of past and
present rulers.
I feel that every Indian should be apprised of the truth
discovered by your scholars. I have been personally speaking
to my colleagues about your great work with recommendations
for its regular subscription. Notwithstanding the initial hiccups
you people might have about finances etc, please continue
with this true national service. I call you all the actual team
India which has embarked on a path breaking journey in
educating the sleeping Indians about its lost glory and beware
of the scandalous ventures still being forced upon them under
the garb of modernisation and industrialisation. Wish you ever
lasting success.
