Behind celebratory headlines for Zoho lies a history we cannot ignore. The company’s ManageEngine products have been repeatedly exploited, often by highly sophisticated attackers.
ISKP, a sub-continental branch of the Islamic State, is said to have vowed to extend operations in Kashmir, on encouragement from Pakistan’s security establishment.
Pakistan’s army has been a rentier force available to a reasonable bidder. It has never come to the aid of any Muslims including Palestinians or the Gazans, except making noises here and there.
Krishna Menon was primarily responsible for isolating India from the comity of nations. Highly egoistic and arrogant, he was anti – West to cover up his nonparticipation in the liberation struggle. He was a stooge of the Russians. His negligence in not keeping the army ready for action was exposed when the Chinese defeated the Indian army and occupied large swathes of Indian territories. Nehru finally realised the mistake of appointing as defence minister and fired him.
Does this news item has any relevance to day’s politics . Even the youth is protesting against CAA which is equally irrelevant to them instead of asking for jobs and employment.
Every one wonders why we dint have a CDS before. We had men in Uniform reporting to Civilian President who is the supreme commander. I dont know the current reporting structure of defence chiefs to the newly created CDS. Pakistan Bangladesh srilanka Myanmar or even for that matter Thailand had suffered. If this position is that of co ordination within the services it might be useful as we are in a much more matured environment than 50s and 60s.
We need discuss history thread bare. So that we do repeat costly mistakes which otherwise can be avoided.
We must know the history of our country so that we can shape our future.
Historical facts must come to light. Past actions shape the future decisions. Here CAB or employment is not the topic of discussion!
