Riots in America - Minneapolis


Parallel of Minneapolis and Delhi riots

Where are the Western media reporters, especially the Washington Post and New York Times and a host of British reporters who during Delhi riots in February were making up stories about Delhi riots. They filed reports unworthy of them and their own employers. They should all be now in Minneapolis filing similar riot reports of looting, burning, etc. These riots are no different from Delhi riots except the Afro American community is being blamed. Much of the reporting is about how bad one community is to set the police station on fire, looted shops and basically searching for targets. 

It is three days of rioting here The national guards (the Army) had to be called. They were called when the police could not handle the situation. Even they were unable to fully handle, hence the dead person’s family had to be brought, in front of TV to ask for calm. What calm...... the offending policeman has not been charged with murder. 

Situation, very much close to this happened in Delhi. The rioters, who were mostly from one community were running amuck while murdering a security man stabbing him with a blunt knife 30 times in a politician's house and then dumped his body in a drain. They had collected a truckload of bricks for use on police. It is only when the majority community became aware that the situation is out of control and the local politicians are mishandling the situation, they retaliated with force and the Army was called. Only then the riots stopped. 

That became an issue with the western media. Their exuberance was visible from the reports they filed. Many of these reports were written by the neighboring country and then handed over to the western reporters. They filed those incendiary reports as is. They, it seems we're having fun because President Trump was visiting India and some reporters and politicians wished to show their displeasure on his visit.

My point here is that riots are riots, whether these happen in Minneapolis or previously under same circumstances in California these have to be dealt with strongly. Politicians for votes play games and support one or the other community. There is no room to express exuberance as shown by the western reporters in Delhi. If they feel the same way, then they should be in Minneapolis, reporting in the same manner as they reported from Delhi. Anything less will be dishonesty. But they will not report. They will paper over all the incendiary details. 

In my opinion that is journalistic dishonesty.

Tunnels in Shimla

  Tunnels in Shimla Shimla’s life-line is the Cart Road is also known as the Circular Road. Both commerce and pedestrians follow this pathway. Built around 1860 from Kalka to Shimla to move the government from Kolkata to Shimla each year, it had also become the life-line for commerce and people. Although the road begins at Kalka but only the area around Shimla is called the Cart Road, but it continues all the way to Shipki Pass at the China border with road designated as NH22. It was widened from its initial 20 feet width, several times during 1860 to 1920 period up to Shimla. Beyond that, it remained this 20-foot route until around the 1950s. It was later extended and made motorisable. The construction of this road was no easy task because the mountains and their spurs stood on the path. Mules, horse-drawn carriages and bull-drawn carriages require a level road and gentle incline. This was only possible if the road went along the contours of the mountains. Once completed, it bro...

Lies what China Perpetuate

  Chinese Propaganda War on India and Others. After the Chinese lost the battle of LAC to India in August 29/30, when India occupied Kailash Heights in Ladakh, the Chinese launched their propaganda offensive. They were unable to get the height(s) vacated hence propaganda was the only battle tactic they were left with. Their English language mouthpiece The Global Times was one of the key weapon. Furthermore, they have built an enormous network of influence in western media by spending an average of $10 billion a year over the past 10 to 12 years to get their point of view, no matter how false, broadcast or printed. In the past six weeks, there have been four glaring examples, three against India and one against Australia. 1. It was a surprise that a respected London media outlet, "The Times," wrote an outright lie that the Chinese were using a "direct energy weapon" (microwave) at the LAC to chase Indian troops from the hills. The report was denied by the forward Ind...

 The West Asian QUAD and China  It is comprised of four countries: the United States, India, Israel and the United Arab Emirates. The name West Asian QUAD is poorly chosen. In fact, this is an International Forum on Economic Cooperation also known as I2U2. It has American blessings, but no formal declaration. Israel capitalized on the warming of relations with some Arab countries and with American blessings invited India, the great power of the region, to participate also. See the parallel of US policy of 1950s when US in West Asia and South East Asia created Baghdad Pact, later called Central Treaty Organization (CENTO) and South East Asian Treaty Organization (SEATO). They were military agreements to prevent a Soviet takeover of the countries of West, South and East Asia. Nothing like this happened and John Foster Dulles, the American master of these pacts, died in 1958 and later his ideas were abandoned. The new grouping is purely economic in nature and protects only the ec...
