India a regional wild bull
Asif Haroon Raja
India occupies a unique position in the South Asian region by dint of occupying nearly 72 percent of the land surface in South Asia, being a home of 77 percent of the region's population, and accounting for nearly 75 percent of the regional economic output. It has the third largest Army (1,325,000) in the world and its economy is ranked 10th strongest ($2.0 trillion). Notwithstanding its political, economic and military prowess, India is viewed as a hegemonic power by all her six neighbors – from Bangladesh in the east to Pakistan in the west, from Nepal and Bhutan in the north to Sri Lanka in the south since all the six South Asian States have suffered at the hands of India.
Indian political scientist (late) Dr. Bhabani Sen Gupta wrote in the India Today April 30, 1984, "The Indian elephant cannot transform itself into a mouse. If South Asia is to get itself out of the crippling binds of conflicts and cleavages, the six neighbors will have to accept the bigness of the seventh. And the seventh, that is India, will have to prove to the six that big can indeed be beautiful." India instead chose to become a wild bull suiting her inner chemistry.
Drunk with power, India would not hesitate to attack a country if it were in her interest to do so and if she felt that the other side was too weak to resist. Indian leaders are staunch followers of infamous Chanakya (author of Arthasastra during Chandragupta rule) and they feel no penitence in implementing the deceitful policies of their Guru to undermine the neighboring countries in pursuit of their geo-economic interests. Believing in the dictum 'everything is fair in love and war', they befriend the enemy of the neighbor, carryout false flag operations, create misgivings through propaganda war, anarchy and destabilization through covert operations and put their sins in the basket of others.
RAW is notorious for conducting clandestine operations in the neighborhood. Once India fails to assert its authority through coercion, it then projects itself as the big brother to draw brotherly respect from younger brothers. Its behavior as a big brother however leaves much to be desired. Rather than earning respect by behaving maturely and generously, it behaves arrogantly and expects one-sided respect and concessions. It has believed in the policy of taking all and giving nothing in return. It considers unilateral concessions as its birthright.
By the virtue of its size, economic potential and military power, India claims a regional leadership position for herself, while her South Asian neighbors accuse her of exercising hegemony. Her neighbors that have been repeatedly bitten have reasons to complain. India has frequently resorted to military force in the region and is the initiator of terrorism. It befriended Mukti Bahini in East Pakistan and then treacherously split Pakistan into two in 1971. India ousted the Ranas in Nepal and put King Tribhuvan on the throne in 1950. India pressed him to sign a treaty of peace and friendship that is viewed by many Nepalese politicians as imperialist. India trained the Tamil Tigers to kick-start a rebellion in Sri Lanka in 1983 which raged till 2009. India restored Prime Minister Gayoom's rule during the attempted military coup in Maldives in 1988. India didn't spare even Bangladesh which she helped in gaining independence in 1971 and pitched Chakma rebels (Shanti Bahini) against Gen Ziaur Rahman government and subsequent regimes. Hasina Wajid, daughter of Mujibur Rahman is in India's best books. To please India and hurt Pakistan, she has undertaken farcical trials of aged Jamaat-e-Islami leaders allegedly involved in war crimes during 1971 war and some have been hanged.
In terms of forcible seizure and land grab, India has occupied Muslim-majority J&K (October 1947), Muslim-ruled Hyderabad (1948), Portuguese-administered Dadra & Nagar Haveli (1954), and Goa, Diu & Daman (1961), and Buddhist-ruled Sikkim (1975) through a surfeit of vicious and fraudulent means, often discounting people's wishes. For instance, an opinion poll by CSDS in 2007 showed that 87% of people in the Kashmir Valley didn't want to live under India. And yet, India, the so-called largest democracy in our world, has no wish to hold such a referendum in the occupied territories.
In violation of the UN Resolutions and pledge given by Nehru, India stubbornly clings to the occupied territory and claim it as integral part of India. In order to retain her illegal occupation, India has stationed 750,000 occupying forces in Indian Occupied Kashmir and has subjected the hapless Kashmiris to a reign of terror. To keep Pakistan restrained from voicing concern and seeking a plebiscite, India waged a massive proxy war in FATA and Balochistan in 2003 which is still continuing and is now resorting to water terrorism. India has water disputes with Bangladesh and Nepal.
The neighbors see India as an overbearing oppressor and a rogue, which uses her territories to dump poor quality Indian goods while putting unnecessary restrictions to exporting their goods into India. SAARC has not progressed essentially because of India's efforts to set rules of tariffs in accordance with her wishes and to monopolize the trade. All SAARC members trading with India suffer from trade deficit.
India's policies remain myopic and short-sighted, if not self-centered and often lethal. She has failed to wipe out the pervasive negative perceptions held by all her regional neighbors. So far, from Bhabani Sen Gupta's utopian view, India has become a regional wild bull, if not an elephant or even worse. And no one likes such a beast! Truly, the stamp of a regional hegemon is written all over India's face. As a matter of fact with the resurgence of the Hindutva fascist forces in the national politics of India, she has the potential to become a regional pariah. And that is an ominous sign for the entire region! Just as the United States of America and Russia are hated today in many countries globally for their hegemony, so is India in South Asia.
India being an imperialist power and ruled by 2.8% Brahman rulers wants to become super power of South Asia and a world power. This ambition is essentially driven by the myth of Mahabharata, fanaticized by every Brahman. Not only Brahman leaders behave callously towards the neighbors, their behavior towards minorities in India is also atrocious. Muslims, Sikhs, Christians and even low caste Hindus have suffered a great deal at the hands of Hindu extremists. India's oppressive policies have given birth to dozens of insurgencies.
Indigenous freedom movement in Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK) has become a bleeding wound for India and a cause of embarrassment that despite deploying such a large force in a small Valley and using excessive force, rape and torture as tools to crush the movement for over 22 years, it has failed to extinguish the flame of liberty. Maintenance of 750,000 security forces since 1989 in IOK is a huge drain on India's economy. So is the burden of 700,000 troops employed to fighting dozens of insurgencies/separatist movements in various parts of India.
India considers Pakistan as the lone obstacle in the way of her imperialist ambitions. India's dangerous plan conceived after 9/11 in 2001 to denuclearize and balkanize Pakistan through proxy war has run into difficulties because of NATO's and ANA's inability to defeat Afghan Taliban and ISAF's withdrawal. Increasing intimacy between USA and Pakistan as well as between new Afghan regime and Pakistan is happening at a time when Indo-Pakistan relations are sailing through choppy waters. This change in the outlook of USA trying to remove the distrust accumulated over a period of time and to rebuild friendly ties with Pakistan is vexing India. Not knowing how to disrupt growth of Pak-US and Pak-Afghan ties, India is continuing to play the terrorism card.
After heating up the LoC in Kashmir and working boundary in Sialkot sector together with abortive false flag operations, RAW in concert with elements within Afghan NDS, is using runaway Fazlullah and Khurasani to carryout terror attacks against soft targets inside Pakistan to cause maximum pain. Attack on Army Public School Peshawar was masterminded by RAW. Now targets of similar nature including DHAs and Askari colonies are listed as future targets. Several terror attacks in Balochistan in quick succession are link of the same chain to build up pressure on Pakistan and force the Army to give a breather to the FATA militants and get deflected towards the eastern border. The US must be firmly told to discipline the wild bull if it is serious in getting rid of the scourge of terrorism. At the same time, Pakistan should impress upon other South Asian States that if they desire to live as independent respectable nations and want to progress, they will have to find ways and means how to tame the wild bull.

Why India Continues Cross-border Shelling? By Sajjad Shaukat

Why India Continues Cross-border Shelling?
By Sajjad Shaukat
Since October 6, this year, India accelerated cross-border shelling along the Line of Control (LoC) and Working Boundary (WB) and killed several innocent persons including their animals inside Pakistan. It compelled tens thousands of the residents of the villages to migrate to safe areas, with their livestock and other belongings.
In this regard, spokesman of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Maj-General Asim Bajwa said that Pakistan Rangers and troops "befittingly" responded to "unprovoked firing" by Indian Border Security Forces (BSF) and military troops. He also clarified that Pakistan's Armed Forces are fully prepared to meet any aggression.
Regarding these constant violations, Pakistan government has lodged a strong protest, and also raised the issue with the UN Military Observers Group in India and Pakistan, asking for a visit of the observers to the affected areas.
Meanwhile, in India where Pakistan is accused of starting the skirmishes, leader of the fundamentalist party BJP and Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi is reported to have given a free hand to the Indian forces to go on aggressively with the violations. While, Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Shariff convened a meeting of the National Security Committe on Oct 10, this year, and discussed the recent ceasefire violations by India at the LoC and WB.
It is notable that by acting upon a preplanned scheme, Indian soldiers crossed over the LoC in Kashmir on January 6, 2013 and attacked a Pakistani check post, killing one Pakistani soldier and injuring many troops. Contrarily, on December 24, 2013, New Delhi agreed for the meeting of Directors-General Military Operations (DGMOs) of both the countries, who met in Pakistan, and discussed specific measures strengthening the bilateral ceasefire mechanism across the LoC.
While, Islamabad and India had on November 25, 2003, agreed to observe ceasefire along all areas of WB, LoC and the Actual Ground Position Line in Jammu and Kashmir. However, Pakistan military indicated that Indian hostility has gradually increased since 2010 making lives of civil population living in closer vicinity of the LoC and WB difficult. Indian troops committed 86 ceasefire violations in 2011, 230 in 2012 and 414 in 2013. But, Indians have again resorted to unprovoked firing for about 224 times on both LoC and WB and killed several people on the Pakistani side this year.
In this context, military officials further elaborated that Indian perennial escalation across the LoC and WB is according to a deliberate plan. So question arises as to why India continues cross-border shelling inside Pakistan.
In fact, by promoting Hindu chauvinism on the basis of anti-Muslim and anti-Pakistan slogans, extremist party, BJP won a landslide victory in the India elections 2014 by defeating the Congress. Now, BJP-led Prime Minister Modi has been implementing its party's agenda against Pakistan. In this context, recent upsurge in skirmishes across the LoC and WB is also linked to upcoming elections in Indian occupied Kashmir, as BJP again wants to make Pakistan a scapegoat. Therefore, the border violations, accompanying hostile statements by Indian leadership are aimed at motivating support base before the elections, and even the expected delay in polls in Kashmir would provide more time to the Indian side to hype up sentiments at the cost of Pakistan. The BJP government is looking at winning a majority in the Kashmir assembly so that it could fulfill its manifesto pledge of revoking the special status, given to Kashmir under Indian constitution's Article 370, and to strengthen its measures to annex the area.
As regards Indian covert aims, BJP rulers are trying to divert attention of international community from the Kashmir dispute, while, Kashmiri leaders and Pakistan have been keeping this issue in limelight.
In this connection, terming the support and advocacy of the right to self determination of the people of Jammu and Kashmi (J&K), Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, while addressing 69th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), stressed for settlement of the Kashmir issue, and offered Pakistan's readiness to endeavor for the same through negotiations. He also reminded the international community of its pledge for holding "plebiscite" in the Indian-held Kashmir, and resolves the issue in accordance with UN Charter. The speech generated appreciations from the political circles of Pakistan and Kashmir as well. It is also acknowledged that the speech is true reflection of sentiments of the people of Pakistan, who believe that peace and prosperity in south Asia is inter- linked with solution of core dispute of Kashmir between Pakistan and India.
Islamabad's successful attempt at the UNGA seems to have irked Indian political, diplomatic and journalist circles. Under the growing frustration, a notoriously controversial journalist affiliated with the Indian NDTV namely Barkha Dutt engaged Pakistan's prime minister's special advisor on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz, and managed to create a controversy through aggressive posture to make him concede that Pakistani High Commissioner Abdul Basit's meeting with the Kashmiri leadership in New Delhi was ill-timed, and affected secretary level engagements with Pakistan. No doubt, Barkha-Aziz episode has been projected, because under the pretext, India cancelled secretary level talks with Islamabad.
Moreover, Indian media created an impression that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif by highlighting Kashmir issue made an effort to improve relations with military establishment in the backdrop of the protesters of the sit-ins led by PTI and PAT. It also generated controversy of gray relations between political and military echelons of Pakistan. By increasing cross-border shelling, New Delhi also wants to create pressure on Islamabad and the Armed Forces in wake of present political turmoil—and military operation Zarb-e-Azb which successfully continues against terrorists in North Waziristan Agency.
It is of particular attention that BJP leader Dr. Subramaniam Swami stated on July 12, 2014 that India needed only two years to defeat Pakistan militarily, and the only solution of Kashmir was war, as "there is no peaceful, democratic solution. Responding to the withdrawal of the US-led NATO forces from Afghanistan, he remarked, "Americans will hand over Afghanistan to Taliban and go…India should send at least 200,000 troops to Afghanistan."
In these terms, Indian hawks think that in the aftermath of the withdrawal of NATO, they will keep their anti-Pakistan network in Afghanistan by harming the genuine interests of Pakistan which shares geographical, cultural and religious bonds with the former, and is determined to bring peace and stability there.
Now, as part of its blame game, India has intensified unprovoked firing at the LoC in Kashmir and WB in Sialkot to delay the Pak-India peace process, without caring for latter's nuclear weapons.
Undoubtedly, every Indian government due to international pressure found it easy to make false pledges that it was willing to engage in peace process to resolve all issues like Siachen, Sir Creek, Wullar Barrage, Water and especially main dispute of Kashmir with Islamabad. But, New Delhi earnestly endeavored to find excuses and pretexts to cancel peace talks, while shifting the blame to Pakistan. For example, in 2002, under the pretension of terrorist attack on the Indian parliament, India postponed the dialogue process. Again, in 2008, India cancelled the 'composite dialogue' on the pretext of Mumbai terror attacks.
Particularly, on May 27, 2014 Prime Minister Modi's meeting with Prime Minister Sharif in the oath-taking ceremony proved faultless, because Modi raised baseless issues of terrorism as pre-conditions to advance the Pak-Indian dialogue. He said that slow pace of trial against the terrorists of the Mumbai 26/11 terror case; being held in Pakistan is main hurdle.
But, Indian prime minister ignored the fact that on July 19, 2013 the Indian former home ministry and ex-investigating officer Satish Verma disclosed that terror-attacks in Mumbai in November 26, 2008 and assault on Indian Parliament in January 12, 2001 were carried out by the Indian government to strengthen anti-terrorism laws.
Notably, in the recent past, United Nations Military Observer Group India and Pakistan in New Delhi was asked to vacate official accommodation, claiming that its role had become irrelevant.
It is also mentionable that Pakistani business community is agitated by the High handedness of Indian authorities in India, whenever they participate in trade exhibitions. As per visa protocols of year 2012, both India and Pakistan are bound to give business visa "Exemption from Police Reporting." Recently, Pakistani delegation members were fined $ 40 per participant for missing Police reporting during trade exhibition (Alishan Pakistan), held at New Delhi from 11-14 September 2014. Besides this, no relaxation is being granted by Indian authorities in issuance of visa to Pakistani businessmen. Element of non-cooperation and aggressiveness towards Pakistan is significant in conduct of Indian authorities after the arrival of Modi regime in power.
Nonetheless, we can undoubtedly conclude that India continues cross-border shelling inside Pakistan so as to obtain multiple designs against the former.

India's Election Remakes our World
By Martin Wolf
Modi must accelerate economic progress to benefit the vast majority, not just the elites
©Ingram Pinn
An Indian economist, has written to me that India's recent election is "the most momentous election in world history". I disagree: the elections of Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Delano Roosevelt were more significant.
But the idea is not absurd. India's population is 1.27 billion. Soon it will overtake China as the most populous country. If the election of Narendra Modi were to transform India, it would transform the world.
It is already possible to identify at least three ways in which the Indian election is remarkable.
First, India has shown yet again the signal virtue of democracy: the peaceful transfer of legitimate power. That this is possible in such a vast, diverse and poor country is an inspiring political achievement.
Second, Indians have rejected the dynastic politics of the Congress party, which, alas, brought to a sad end the distinguished public service of Manmohan Singh, a man I have known and admired for four decades. The most important Congress-led government since the days of Jawaharlal Nehru was that of Narasimha Rao in the early 1990s, under whom Mr Singh served as reforming finance minister. If Mr Modi succeeds, it will be because he builds on that foundation. Congress still has the best chance of being the strong secular party India needs, but only if it liberates itself from its dependence on the Gandhi family.
Third, Mr Modi truly is a self-made man. Even though his party won just 31 per cent of the vote, he has gained an overwhelming majority in the lower house. He has done so by promising to spread the perceived successes of Gujarat to the rest of the country. There is debate in India over whether Gujarat is the model it is alleged to be. Yet that is not the main point. What matters more is that Indians have chosen a man who promises to improve their lives. He is not chosen for his origins. That is testimony to India's transformation over the past quarter of a century.
The outgoing government is condemned as a failure. Yet, as Shankar Acharya, former chief economic adviser to the Indian government in the 1990s, points out, "economic growth has averaged 7.5 per cent a year, the fastest in any decade in Indian history. This rapid growth in gross domestic product has raised average income . . . by nearly 75 per cent in real, inflation-adjusted rupees." This sounds good. But, he adds, it also hides the truth.
Growth slowed sharply over the past three years "because of the cumulation of bad economic policies", while consumer price inflation has risen to between 9 and 11 per cent over the past five years. At the same time, Mr Acharya says, the government's policies became steadily worse. He points to exorbitant spending on subsidies for oil, food and fertilisers, wasteful entitlement programmes, exorbitant pay settlements and huge fiscal deficits. Other failures include the refusal to lift disincentives to employment, crony capitalism, capricious regulation, retrospective taxation, excessive jumps in food procurement prices and corruption.
Mr Acharya argues that all this has contributed to a daunting legacy: a failure to create jobs for the 10 million young people entering the job market each year; stagnation in manufacturing; inadequate infrastructure; huge overhangs of incomplete projects; vulnerability of agriculture due to water stress; badly run entitlement programmes; the weakening of the country's external finances; and further deterioration in the quality of governance itself.
Mr Acharya is a sober analyst of Indian economic realities, who worked closely with Mr Singh in the 1990s. His damning assessment is persuasive. Yet India can surely do better. The latest estimates suggest that GDP per head is just a tenth that of the US, and half that of China. It must be possible for this country to catch up even faster.
Mr Modi has above all been elected to accelerate development. But if one recalls the failure of his Bharatiya Janata party's "India shining" campaign of a decade ago, he must do so in ways seen to benefit the vast majority of the population, not just its elites.
It is not clear whether Mr Modi can rise to such big challenges in this vast and complex country. His motto – "less government and more governance" – has caught the public mood. Yet it is not clear what this will mean in practice.
An analysis by JPMorgan suggests that in fact "there is a remarkable convergence of broad economic thinking" between the two main parties. The difference, if so, might be more in implementation, an area Mr Modi's supporters also stress. This suggests that the goods and services tax (a national value added tax) might be put into effect, investment projects might be accelerated, energy prices might be liberalised, shares in public enterprises might be sold – albeit without full privatisation – and fiscal consolidation might be accelerated.
This would be to the good, but probably not enough to bring about the needed acceleration of growth and jobs generation. Vital further reforms would be in employment regulation, education and infrastructure, with a view to making India a base for labour-intensive manufacturing. With Chinese wages rising, this is a plausible ambition. Improvement in the administration of law is crucial. Agriculture needs big advances, including a more modern supply chain. The states need to be forced to compete with one another for people, capital and technology.
This election might prove to be a big step towards the economic modernisation of India that was relaunched in 1991. But this round of reforms will also be far harder than those were. It is not now just a matter of pulling the state out of the way. It is more about making the government an effective and honest servant of the Indian people. This challenge is possibly an order of magnitude more daunting than those Mr Modi once overcame in Gujarat.
Mr Modi remains an enigma. He is a man of action, a nationalist and a committed member of the Hindutva movement. It is hard to believe he would match Mr Singh's emollient reaction to Pakistan's promotion of terrorism. It is impossible to know what he might mean for India's communal relations. Nobody knows either how far he feels obliged to the business people who funded his campaign. But one thing is sure: India has a new game. Pay attention.

India being an imperialist power wants to become super power of South Asia and a world power. Mired in dozens of insurgencies it considers Pakistan as the lone stumbling block in the way of her imperialist ambitions. Indigenous freedom movement in Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK) has become a bleeding wound for India and a cause of embarrassment that despite deploying such a large force in a small Valley and using excessive force, rape and torture as tools to crush the movement for over 22 years, it has failed to extinguish the flame of liberty. Maintenance of 750,000 security forces since 1989 in IOK is a huge drain on India's economy which is slowing down. So is the burden of 700,000 troops employed for fighting dozens of insurgencies and separatist movements in various parts of India.
Once India jumped out of the lap of former Soviet Union and slid into the warm lap of USA in 1991, it started working feverishly to create permanent wedge between USA and Pakistan – the two erstwhile allies – by coloring the perceptions of US leaders against Pakistan. India's main propaganda plank was 'cross border terrorism by Pakistan in IOK'. 9/11 gave a godsend opportunity to India to restore its lost influence in Afghanistan and to operationalize its plan of destabilizing, denuclearizing, encircling, isolating and balkanizing Pakistan through proxy war using Afghan soil. For the achievement of their common objectives, the Indo-US-Afghan nexus commenced covert war against Pakistan in 2002 with a view to cripple Pakistan economically, politically, socially and militarily.
Their sustained efforts have made FATA and Balochistan highly restive and Pakistan's economy fragile. More the difficulties encountered by Pakistan on account of foreign sponsored insurgencies in the two turbulent regions and disorder in Karachi, more the closeness between the three strategic partners grew. So much so that Indo-Afghan and Afghan-US strategic partnership agreements were signed. At the same time, hostility of the trio against Pakistan also intensified. India was over the moon seeing Pakistan in dire strait and breathlessly waited to use its military instrument to axe it for good. Karzai regime didn't lag behind in keeping Pakistan in the dock.
Not only the Indian political leaders have maintained an aggressive posture against Pakistan, Indian senior military officers also have been flexing muscles to overawe Pakistan, and have been looking for a 1971 like opportunity to strike Pakistan. Apart from offensive deployment of troops along Pakistan's border in 2001-02 and 2008-09, former Indian Army chiefs Gen Kapoor and Gen V.K. Singh and even the current chief Gen Bikram Singh have been bragging about India's much hyped Pakistan-specific Cold Start Doctrine, which in Indian military view has nullified Pakistan's nuclear deterrence. Ex Army chief Gen V.K. Singh had set up a secret intelligence unit called Technical Services Division (TSD) without the knowledge of Ministry of Defence. Purpose was to carryout clandestine operations against officials of Ministry of Defence, IOK and Pakistan. He misused secret funds to destabilize Omar Abdullah's government in Kashmir and spent Rs 1.19 crore for this purpose.
Gen V.K. Singh justified his act in Kashmir on the plea that use of secret funds has been in practice since 1947. He also admitted that the TSD had conducted eight successful missions inside Pakistan. He used his moles for phone tapping, eavesdropping officials of Ministry of Defence. V.K Singh had a tainted tenure and was accused of corruption. He submitted a petition to Ministry of Defence to adjust his date of birth so that he could serve for another ten months in office. When his petition was rejected by Supreme Court, he became a laughing stock. While in uniform he started hobnobbing with BJP leaders and soon after retirement he joined BJP. He attends Narendra Modi's rallies and BJP is giving full support to him. Modi whose hands are soaked in the blood of Indian Muslims have been tipped as future Prime Minister of India by BJP. His sole forte is to raise the emotions of Hindus against Indian Muslims and Pakistan and make them hysteric.
Indian Army under Gen Bikram Singh who took over the reins of Indian Army on May 31, 2012 heated up the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir in January 2013 on a false pretext that Pak Army soldiers were involved in beheading of two Indian soldiers on January 8. It led to unprovoked firing by Indian military. After Manmohan Singh's stern warning to Pakistan, Gen Bikram on January 14, asked his commanders in Kashmir to be aggressive and offensive against Pakistan. He said, "We reserve the right to retaliate at a time and place of our choosing". In August 2013, yet another drama of killing of five Indian soldiers by Kashmiri Mujahideen backed by Pak Army was cooked up. The incident led to prolonged ceasefire violations in the form of firing and shelling. The guns had not silenced when another stage-managed terrorist attack on a police station and military base in Samba onSeptember 25 was enacted in which a dozen people were killed. This false flag operation was timed with Manmohan Singh's address to the UN General Assembly Session in New York on 27th and his scheduled meeting with Nawaz Sharif on September 29. LoC was activated at the behest of BJP which wanted to scuttle Manmohan-Nawaz meeting and the peace process.
Unprovoked firing by Indian soldiers across the LoC and working boundary in Sialkot Sector in which scores of civilians as well as soldiers and cattle were killed became a daily routine from August to first week of November 2013 till Sartaj Aziz met Manmohan Singh and Indian Foreign Minister Salman in Colombo and both sides agreed to respect 2003 ceasefire agreement. Military coercion and jingoism spearheaded by Indian military-BJP combine are aimed at playing Pakistan card to win next elections in 2014. Indian military and BJP nexus aims at establishing Hindutva in India.
India's dangerous plan conceived in 2001 to destroy Pakistan has run into difficulties because of NATO's and ANA's inability to defeat Afghan Taliban. From 2008 onwards, the wind started to blow against occupying forces because of Taliban's resurgence. When nothing worked in favor of USA, a stage came when the US was forced by circumstances in 2010 to employ its political prong to induce the Taliban to hold peace dialogue. At the same time, Obama announced that the US-NATO troops would quit Afghanistan by December 2014. This unpalatable step was taken in spite of opposition from Pentagon and CIA as well as from India, Israel and Afghanistan. It dawned upon Obama's Administration that all the strategic allies on whom the US had leaned heavily had no influence over the Taliban and were ineffectual. On the other hand, Pakistan which was all along seen as part of the problem was the sole country which could help in arranging talks and arriving at a political settlement.
Increasing intimacy between USA and Pakistan is happening at a time when Indo-Pakistan relations are sailing through murky waters. This change in the outlook of USA trying to remove the distrust accumulated over a period of time and to rebuild friendly ties with Pakistan is vexing India. Not knowing how to disrupt growth of Pak-US ties, India is continuing to play the terrorism card. During his meeting with Obama in New York in September last, Manmohan Singh had a single point agenda of bad mouthing Pakistan. Throughout the meeting he kept complaining like a village old woman that Pakistan was indulging in cross border terrorism in Kashmir and disturbing the peace. Even during his address to the UN he dubbed Pakistan as epicenter of terrorism. Indian officials are propagating that there is sharp increase in LoC-crossing attempts into IOK which has led to increase in ceasefire violations and resurgence of terrorist attacks against Indian forces in Kashmir. While craving to become a world power, Indian leaders have a bad habit of putting their sins in the basket of Pakistan and then moaning like a village woman that they are the victims of terrorism.

THE GREAT INDIAN AIR FORCE : What IAF thought were Pakistani drones turned out to be migratory birds
Posted by admin in India Missile Technology Proliferator, India Pollution, SAFFRON BANDITS on October 30th, 2013
What IAF thought were Pakistani drones turned out to be migratory birds
INDIA TODAY ONLINE NEW DELHI, OCTOBER 20, 2013 | UPDATED 08:31 IST
As the birds' profile matched that of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), Air Force jets persisted with the recci, including surveillance of the local airspace in the area.
Security concerns of the Indian Air Force across the Pakistan border met an unexpected but not-so-pleasant surprise this year. After radar signals indicated that unmanned aircraft were heading toward the Indian territory, the Air Force carried out sorties along the Gujarat border for several weeks this year.
But the sorties proved futile as the signal would disappear after fighter jets from Jamnagar would take off, only to reappear once the jets left the area, reported The Sunday Express.
Aug 2013:Army reports UFO sightings in Ladakh, again
After this aerial exercise continued for weeks, IAF flight controllers finally traced the intruders: Large flocks of migratory birds heading for water bodies in Gujarat, flying at high speeds with the help of strong tail winds.
The force, however, was not clear about the species of migratory birds.
A report on the incidents reveals that between December'12 and February'13, radars placed them as "slow-moving tracks of variable heights of 4 to 6 km and variable speed from 100 to 250 kmph".
As the birds' profile matched that of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), Air Force jets persisted with the recci, including surveillance of the local airspace in the area, the report says.
The source of signals was traced to birds when the Air Force contacted the Nalsarovar and Thol bird sanctuaries and authorities said the possible route and flight profile of the tracks matched those of birds migrating to Gujarat.

Now, the IAF will trace migratory patterns and the months in which birds cross over from across the border, the reports adds.

Conservation graduate Maia Balint takes Fleming College skills to Oxford
September 11, 2018 Sarah Deeth Success Stories
The skills Maia Balint gained at Fleming College are not only useful in Canada, they are useful around the world!
The Cultural Heritage Conservation and Management program provides opportunities for students to take their studies to other countries, where they can gain internship experience in interesting locales. Maia completed her full-time Fleming internship at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum in Exeter, Devon, UK, and made connections that led to her current employment at the Museum of the History of Science, Oxford.
"I learned about this opportunity due to the connections I made during my Fleming internship," said Maia, who works as an Osney Power Station (OPS) Move Project Assistant. "The experiences that I gained while studying at Fleming were directly relevant to the job description and prepared me for the interview."
In her contract role at the Museum of the History of Science, Oxford, Maia works with artefacts every day. "A lot of the artefacts are really amazing and beautiful," said the Class of 2018 graduate. "My favourites include pocket microscopes and homeopathic medicine kits full of tiny jars substances— many of which are poisons!"
Maia is responsible for assessing and packing artifacts, and said Fleming prepared her well for the role, including how to complete documentation for object assessment and general handling techniques. Maia also references the information she gained from the two-day packing workshop led by Paul Marcon from the Canadian Conservation Institute.
Maia wanted to move to Oxford because her partner is doing his PhD there. She describes Oxford as very pretty and adds that being affiliated with the university makes a big difference because the most beautiful parts are only accessible to university staff and students.
But this isn't Maia's first time living in the UK. After graduating from the University of Toronto, where she studied history, Maia took bookbinding courses in the UK and did an internship at the Design Museum in London. Her interest in bookbinding, which also includes courses at the Canadian Bookbinders and Book Artists Guild and an internship at the Robertson Davies Library in Toronto, is what led her to pursue a career in conservation.
"Most practicing bookbinders also do conservation work," Maia explained. "I wanted to learn more about the various materials that are used in bookbinding and I was attracted to Fleming's emphasis on hands-on skills."
The Fleming College graduate said she would recommend her program to others. "I think the Cultural Heritage Conservation and Management program provides a great introduction into the conservation of a wide range of materials," she said. "It gives students a wide variety of practical experience, which reflects the type of work that goes on in museums."

LOTS IN A MOVIE NAME
Posted on October 15, 2015 by admin Leave a comment
Bollywood film titles have drawn on numerology, mythology, current affairs and swear words among other personal quirks. Three weeks ago, a commercial film was the first to have the word 'sex' in its title. decodes the name game
We've said it above, but it's worth repeating — Love Sex aur Dhokha is the first Bollywood film to have the word 'sex' in its title. Take a bow, Dibakar Banerjee, Ekta Kapoor and the Indian Censor Board. Because you have taken history and given it a new twist that will go a long way in changing how we view Bollywood.
Sex makes news | Balaji Telefilms' COO Vikram Malhotra believes the title (and its acronym LSD) would have sunk a decade ago. "But today's audience is open to discussing almost anything,'' says Malhotra, adding that the movie's content proved that the title was not just a gimmick. The Association of Motion Picture and Television Programme Producers (AMPTPP) rejected LSD's title the first time, "but when Dibakar went and explained the concept of the film to them, both the Association as well as the Censors passed it," he adds.
Like anywhere else, sex also sells in movie names. Not surprisingly, a quick scan through a list of movie titles registered throws up some interesting ones with the s-word in them. Pritish Nandy Communications has registered Sex Hazir Ho, while Suniel Shetty's Popcorn Entertainment has
rights to The Yoga of Marriage Love and Sex. Competing only with the Bhatts, in the 'news inspires movies' category, is Madhur Bhandarkar, who has quickly bagged the rights to Sex Swami Aur Videotape. Bhandarkar, who also has rights to names like Godhra, Jessica and 9/11, says movie names and headlines feed off each other. "Only yesterday, I saw a news item titled Love Sania and Dhokha,'' he says, adding that those who know him believe that if he were not a filmmaker, he would have been a journalist. "News stories charge me up." The way we were | Film author Dilip Thakur recalls how all hell broke loose when BK Adarsh's
film Gupt Gyan (1974), a film on sex education came about. The movie was initially banned, but the efforts of Atal Behari Vajpayee, Chandra Shekhar and some other political leaders ensured it finally hit the box-office. It was lauded by physicians as well as the public and was one of the first movies to be screened in girls' colleges and hostels.
Soon after, BR Ishara's Prem Shastra (1974) was also released, but it failed at the BO. Ishara who was known to make movies with bold titles (Mann Tera Tan Mera, Charitra, Sautela Pati) also directed the Rehana Sultan-starrer Chetna (that had a flash of bare thighs in the poster). "I think today's audience has no patience or tolerance," says Ishara, "So all we can do is shock them."
Names & numbers | Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai launched more than just Hrithik Roshan. This was also the first time numerologist Sanjay B Jumaani attempted to steer the fate of a film. "I added an extra 'a' in Na and Pyar and Hrithik became an overnight hit," says Jumaani, now numerologist to the stars. He also takes credit for Vipul Amrutlal Shah's success. "After I asked him to add his father's name to his own, Vipul has given superhits," says Jumaani, who has asked the producer-director to name his forthcoming film Action Replayy, with an extra 'y' in the end.
The Manmohan Desai way | Time was when a movie title was decided much later and a film was launched with just a production number. "Manmohan Desai was one of the few directors who thought of a name before he began a film," says Prakash Pange, an old associate of Desai. "I remember him calling up Amitabh Bachchan to tell him that he was making a film with him in and as Mard. I then flew down to Mangalore where Mr Bachchan was shooting and got a picture of his fist as a promotional picture for the movie." When film financier Anant Kumar laughed at Desai, who said he had planned to call another film Amar Akbar Anthony, Pange recalls Desai saying the name would become an anthem of sorts. "And it did."
Means what | There are times when a title has gone against a film. Trade analyst Komal Nahata says a Lucknow theatre manager told him that the audience thought the recent Hum Tum Aur Ghost had something to do with gosht (mutton) and so avoided the film. "People didn't understand what Road, Movie meant so they didn't go down that road at all. LSD, on the other hand, generated curiosity and drew audiences," explains Nahata. The analyst also believes that the audience has not changed much over the years. "One can understand that Wake Up Sid was targeted at an urban audience but something like Well Done Abba, a film about water woes in a village, is so mixed up that people didn't bother with the film at all."
I repeat | Script and dialogue writer Javed Siddiqui who has to his credit movies such as Umrao Jaan, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge and Baazigar feels there is a dearth of titles in the industry and that is coming through. "Yeh shabdon ki majboori hain aur kuch nahin,'' he says. Jeetendra has worked in two movies called Aulad (1968, 1987). And both Dharmendra and son Sunny Deol have acted in films called Dillagi (1978, 1999).
Siddiqui laments the repeated use of movie names like Umrao Jaan (1981, 2006), saying one never knows which version is being referred to. "Devdas has been made at least 17 times, which is probably why the latest version was called Dev D. Thankfully it wasn't titled D. Das," he says. Incidentally, Siddiqui is currently working on a documentary on Guru Dutt. "The epic Pyasaa was initially called Pyaas," he reveals. "But, perfectionist that he was, Guru Dutt said the word Pyaas didn't bring out the essence of the film in its entirety and changed the name to Pyaasa."
I swear | With titles like Shree 420, Awara, Junglee and Bewakoof, movie names often crossed the line, yet ensured the hero's character was always endearing. But when Shah Rukh openly played dark roles (Baazigar, Darr, Anjaam), the director made sure the movie name was not negative. Cut to Kaminey and the forthcoming Badmash Company (incidentally both have Shahid Kapur in the lead) and one notices the industry has come a long way. "A title really is the director's prerogative and it should represent the film for what it is," says Shahid, who claims he was never apprehensive of the Kaminey title. "On the contrary, I thought it was very true to the film."
Constantly changing | "Titles are to movies what fragrance is to flowers," says the ever-poetic Mahesh Bhatt, who gave us Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke and Dil Hai Ki Maanta Nahi. Bhatt has constantly chopped and changed the names of his movies to suit the times. "Traditionalists in our business concede that having a good title is half the battle won. A title that works in small-town India may not work with a multiplex audience and distributors are known to lobby with producers to get a title that caters to their constituency. But with changing demographics, movies and their titles are both changing," says Bhatt. The director went from middle-of-the-road titles in the '80s (Arth, Saaransh, Naam) to youthoriented movie names in the '90s (Aashiqui, Dil Hai Ki Maanta Nahi, Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke) and catered to the Hinglish audience at the turn of the millennium (Murder, Gangster, Jism, Crook).
Master showman | Jaiprakash Choksey, who has written Jan Naayaak, a book on Raj Kapoor (and also distributed his films) says the filmmaker registered Satyam Shivam Sundaram in 1954. The film was finally made in 1978. "The story was inspired by Lata Mangeshkar's life, of a woman with a divine voice and a plain face. In fact, Raj Kapoor wanted her in the film but there was no way Lataji would have acted in the film," says Choksey. Raj Kapoor also gave Hindi cinema its first acronym title with Ram Teri Ganga Maili (RTGM). Contrary to popular belief, Choksey says the title had nothing to do with Lord Ram but referred to an incident in Ramakrishna Paramhansa's life that Raj Kapoor had read about.
Title song | With Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge came the era of making lyrics into movie names. Incidentally, it was Kiron Kher who suggested the title for the Shah Rukh-Kajol-starrer that is still running for the sake of love and lovers. Director Karan Johar, who assisted on DDLJ, says such titles have a retro feel but might not work now. "I'm not sure Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham would draw crowds today." Johar adds that he's finding it tough to come up with a title for his forthcoming remake of Stepmom. "Something like Ghar Parivar or Love You Ma won't work. Neither will an English title like Wake Up Sid (incidentally suggested by leading man Ranbir Kapoor), which will alienate a large portion of the audience."
Gimmicks galore | Actor IS Johar was so obsessed with himself, he had many film titles credited to his name (Johar Mehmood in Goa, Johar in Kashmir, Johar Mehmood in Hong Kong and Johar in Bombay). "He also made a family planning film called Nasbandi which did catch a few eye balls," says Thakur. Andheri Raat Mein Diya Tere Haath Mein was Dada Kondke's attempt at a gimmicky title. It didn't pass muster with the audience.
Sometimes the title of a film is changed to suit a particular audience. The Rishi Kapoor starrer Honeymoon was released in North India as Suhaag Raat and Amitabh Bachchan's Nastik was called Adharmi in some places.
Mera wala title | Filmmakers are possessive about their titles and refuse to part with them easily. Raj Kanwar wanted the title Daag but since Yash Chopra refused to part with it, he had to go with Daag The Fire instead. Ram Gopal Varma's remake of Sholay was finally released as Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag. The film bombed.
AMPTPP vice president Vikas Mohan explains that a movie title is registered after scrutiny. "A title can be registered for just Rs 250 a year. Every subsequent renewal costs Rs 100. If it has a tagline, the price doubles," he says. "Also, a title cannot be bought or sold independently. It has to be surrendered to the association and is then given to the first person in the waiting list." The Censor Board has always played a pivotal role in movie names. While Ramanand Sagar's Charas and BK Adarsh's Gupt Gyan both came under the scanner, Kaminey and LSD were let off with much less fuss. "We did deliberate upon both the names, but realised there was nothing objectionable about them," says Vinayak Azad, regional officer of the Censor Board.

The Oral Assessment, Treatment and Prevention (ORAL ATP®) visit involves much more than just cleaning the plaque and calculus from a patient's teeth. The following is a typical example of the process.
Ask important general health and specific oral health questions related to the procedure to be performed and inquire as to the willingness and ability of the pet owner to perform home dental care.
Conduct a general physical and a brief oral examination that will allow you to design a preliminary treatment plan. Consider taking digital photos at this time to capture areas of pathology to discuss further. NOTE: Only when the patient has been anesthetized can a complete oral examination be performed and a precise treatment plan be formulated.
Birth to nine months — Persistent deciduous teeth, missing or extra (supernumerary) teeth, individual tooth malposition and jaw length abnormalities.
Nine months to two years — Permanent dentition anomalies and accumulation of plaque and calculus.
Periodontal disease often occurs during this period, especially in small-breed dogs and cats. The onset and severity of periodontal disease varies widely with breed, diet and home care. In small-breed dogs without home care, periodontal disease can start as early as nine months of age. In large-breed dogs, it usually starts at two to three years. Most small dogs experience signs of periodontal disease by age three. For this reason, attention to dental care needs to be started early in life.
Two to six years — Periodontal disease, oral trauma from chewing on inappropriate objects and adequacy of home dental care.
Six years + — Progression of periodontal disease and oral cancer.
Conduct and review preoperative blood and urine tests, electrocardiographs, blood pressure tests and chest and abdomen x-rays as needed.
Administer pre-anesthetic medication, induction, intubation and anesthesia.
Perform teeth cleaning, polishing, intraoral radiographs and a tooth-by-tooth evaluation. Then create an appropriate treatment plan.
X-rays of the mouth should be a part of each ORAL ATP® visit. In one published report, intraoral radiographs revealed important pathology in 27.8% of dogs and 41.7% of cats when no abnormal findings were noted on the initial examination. In patients with abnormal findings present, additional pathology was revealed with x-rays in 50% of dogs and 53.9% of cats.
Clean teeth using an ultrasonic scaler and a curette.
After teeth are clean, polish them using a low-speed handpiece with prophy paste loaded on a prophy cup.
Irrigate the teeth and gingiva to remove remaining debris. Then conduct a tooth-by-tooth examination and develop a treatment plan to address pathology found.
Diagnose abnormal periodontal pocket depths using a periodontal probe. Normal probing depths vary with the size of the patient and specific area being examined. The typical probing depth in a dog is 1–2 mm. In a cat it is 0.5–1.0 mm.
Apply fluoride next to dried teeth. Fluoride helps to control plaque and dentin pain.
Perform treatment for pathology found during the tooth-by-tooth examination, upon client approval.
Have a technician prepare an exit case report with images documenting before and after therapy appearances.
Once the procedure is complete, give intravenous fluids, control body temperature and monitor the patient until he/she can sit up voluntarily.
Post-operative client communication — Discussing operative procedures and existing or potential complications (e.g., bleeding, coughing, vomiting, diarrhea and inappetence) at the time of discharge is fundamental to ongoing dental care. Be sure to explain immediate postoperative home care, including medications and their side effects.
Home oral care — Your patients' individually tailored home care plans should include the frequency, duration and method of rinsing and brushing, as well as information about applying plaque barrier gel and the use of special dental diets or digestible dental treats.
Follow-up evaluations — At a minimum, a patient with a healthy mouth should be evaluated annually. Examinations every six months can help ensure optimal home care. Patients showing signs of gingivitis need a checkup at least every six months and those with moderate periodontitis at least every three months. Advanced periodontal disease requires monthly examinations until the disease is controlled.

The Fight for the Presidency
Sammi Hammers July 19, 2016 July 19, 2016
Another Round was fought yesterday at the Republican National Convention. Hillary wasn't even there, but she won the round!
Maybe you don't see it that way, consider this:
Mr. Trump became a candidate at Hillary's "request". I'm pretty sure money changed hands since that's how both Hillary and Donald keep score. It was merely part of her nefarious plan (her top priority, in fact) to become President. Have to give her credit, though – it was a pretty smart move.
Trending: America 2016: Concentration Camps, Lists of Citizens, and Guillotines
Next, she needed to make certain that he would be the Republican Party's nominee. A game called "let's you and him fight" was implemented to narrow the field of candidates. One by one, the other 16 (obviously some were more qualified for the job) left the race. Have no way to know for sure what their reasons were. Some legitimately made it a personal choice. They decided they probably didn't want to be President, anyway (Sour Grapes). Some were coerced, seemingly a standard practice in politics these days. The end result was that Mr. Trump did become the "presumptive nominee".

With all the other Republican supporters removed from the 'race', it was now time to reduce the number of those in the Republican Party who would vote for Mr. Trump. So – '#nevertrump became a reality used solely to increase Hillary's popularity and power. The size of this group blossomed overnight. Some very prominent, well respected Republicans became vocal about their NON-Support. What did you expect? When Donald was evaluated – he came up short of the standards we have used in the past. She knew what she was doing when she chose Trump. I don't think he realized, at the time, what his purpose was to be in this battle.
This years' election has exposed a myriad of flaws in our political system. There's enough already uncovered to keep legislators [and possibly many attorneys] busy for the next 100 years , This is in addition to the original legitimate issues that have been on the back burner for too long. Ignoring them has not made them go away.
We need to address terrorism, economics, Obamacare, welfare, immigration, human rights, the Court System, a balanced budget, transparency and much more.
The Democrats are held hostage by PAC's, SUPERPAC'S, and Lobbyists, as are the Republicans. The first priority – take the money out of politics. Campaign finance reform? – Desperately need to enact additional rules for contributions. One should not be able to BUY the Presidency! It seems ludicrous to spend all that money on "Being the President", when we are trillions of dollars in debt. I know Common Sense is already dead, but perhaps we can resurrect it. It will definitely take a truckload of common sense to do what needs to be done.
Using diversion is another one of Hillary's methods. It seems to be the one she has mastered the best. She has been trying to divert our attention from all the scandals in which she was involved since the beginning of time. She is extremely skilled in these tactics (A diversionary activity is one that is intended to refocus people's attention away from something which you do not want them to think about, know about, or deal with.) Merriam-Webster
Another ploy – albeit quite necessary to the political process, failed at yesterday's convention. The Free the Delegates drive was rejected under protest on the first day of the Convention. The Chair of the convention even left the stage when a roll call vote was requested on the 2016 Rules. Security helped assure that all of the 11 states petitions for this vote could not be delivered to the "secretary" – then the claim was made that they only received 9 petitions.
We were told that three delegations withdrew, leaving only 6 states whose petitions were accepted. The "RULES" required 7 states' participation. The group legitimately had 11. What was not said was that threats were issued if the delegates did NOT withdraw their petitions. Government of the bullies, by the bullies, and for the bullies.
I can't explain why they were afraid to call a roll call vote – Perhaps they knew that Mr. Trump would not be a 'shoe-in' for the nomination if they allowed the vote. Or, perhaps, they were merely showing their muscle. The Chair simply determined the "ayes" had it. Don't know how he could tell with all the screaming that was going on. But, I'm sure this was also by design!
For a country founded on "We the People" it reeked of "We the Elite". We need to do more to assure that we remain a free country – free of strong-arm tactics in Government, politics, and elsewhere.
I pray we don't fall victim to Hillary's evil plot. I feel like the little kid in the "Emperor's New Clothes", the one who tells the citizens there are no clothes! "Out of the mouths of Babes".
This election is NOT COMPLICATED. God gave us our intelligence. He trusts that we will use it. He also provided the principles that we need to get through this jumble of junk. If we speak and act according to our true priorities, we will make it thru these troubled times.
Ask yourself what you consider important?
Do you want 'more of the same' – or should we board the Trump Train and get on with fixing what's wrong? We have to start somewhere. He is the one put before us to counter what we already know is unethical. We may have preferred someone different, but it's either him or Hillary. That's the bottom line. For those of us who believe that God acts in mysterious ways, this is a perfect example.
I guess I've gone thru a Political epiphany to get to this point. Changes are obviously needed in many areas. Hillary & her followers will not make the ones that need to be made. They prefer having the government in charge. That hasn't worked so far. It has failed drastically!
Try to ignore the name-calling, lies and other negative campaign techniques. It won't be easy. If we are to seriously move forward to make the changes necessary to restore traditional values, then we must put America's principles before the candidates personalities.
Make your own choice. Decide what is really important to you. Say your prayers. And vote!

Yemen: Arabia's Stonehenge
Issue 52, Features, Yemen
The Tihamah Plain snakes all the way down the western coast of Yemen, past the erstwhile coffee port of Mocha, and on to Aden. Hemmed in by the Red Sea to one side and a mountain range to the other, this long, narrow strip of semi-desert land has the impressive ability to be both devilishly hot and unbearably humid.
In 1982, Ed Keall was the first archaeologist to work here. Even today, few archaeologists venture into its pernicious heat, preferring Yemen's central highlands with their temperate climes and dramatic ancient sites. So what drew him? He was there, as Director of the Canadian Mission to Yemen, to excavate the once-prosperous Medieval Tihami city of Zabid and explore its surrounding landscape.
Ed's work in this archaeological terra incognita soon revealed the rich depths of the Tihamah. But quite how rich and quite how deep was unexpected – as he discovered when he took a wrong fork on a dust track to find himself face to face with an astonishing site in the middle of the desert: giant granite monoliths. So, let us hear his remarkable,yet little known, story of discovery.
Pushed by the winds
It was March 1997. We were excavating Fazah, a site that purported to be Zabid's original port of entry for the Indian Ocean ships. However, the monsoon winds were starting to pick up tremendous strength. We had established a makeshift camp of reed huts and some members of the Canadian team began to show signs of wind trauma, a well-known phenomenon for people living in horrendously unsheltered conditions. Our eyes were gritted with the relentlessly blowing desert sand. After three nights, I decided I was not quite ready to go blind in the cause of archaeology… I opted to abort the mission and return to our base camp at Zabid.
Ferrying the team and equipment back from Fazah to our base, I decided to vary the route home. Blown sand had obscured some of the tracks, and such is the repetitive bleakness of great swathes of this semi-desert zone that it took some time before I noticed I was heading in the wrong direction. However, since GPS instruments had become de rigueur for archaeologists in Yemen (the necessary satellite readings were no longer being scrambled by the US military), I duly parked up on the side of a date plantation to try out my new gadget. Looking around, I suddenly realised that I had been here before, some 15 years earlier, to record the pottery. We were just near the village of al-Midamman. At that point, a local farmer emerged from the palm trees and we began talking.
Reasonably, he wanted to know what I was doing on his family's land. I attempted to explain the wonders of archaeological science, picking up a piece of pottery in front of me and explaining it was of 15th-century Zabid ceramic production. 'How do you know this?' he asked. 'Well', I said, 'you know all about dates, and I know all about pottery.' He watched as I prepared to leave. 'So,' he said, 'do you want to see the stones?'
Arabia's Stonehenge
When Salem Hassan led me through the sand dunes and pointed out 'the stones' in the distance, shimmering in the desert haze, I remember thinking 'My god, it's a Yemeni Stonehenge.' There before us stood three giant granite megaliths, each around 3m tall, and weighing roughly four tons each. Two more of similar proportions lay fallen. A further, more monstrous megalith, measuring some 8m tall, lay still slanting from the ground. A distance away, many other more slender megaliths, looking more like pillars, lay strewn on the surface of the ground.
Such features are entirely unexpected in this region. No other archaeologists even speculated about their possible existence. Discoveries like this happen only in the dreams of 19th-century explorers. I had simply taken the left fork in a road. I could just as easily have taken the right fork, as the Italian archaeological team did a few years earlier, thereby missing this jewel of the Tihamah.
So it was that I encountered the stones on that March evening. I never say that I discovered them since, to some of the locals, these stones had always been part of their lives. They called them 'al-Manasib', literally 'Uprights'. They believed the stones were transported there by the jinns – those tricksy traditional folklore entities imbued with magical properties. I preferred to see their origin in a site some 300m away from the stones, where, in addition to further fallen uprights, there was a noticeable area of flaked stone, known locally as 'al-Minjarah', or the area of 'cutting'. I assessed it to be the stone-cutting site, or quarry. In fact, I have since discovered that nothing on the Tihamah is so simple. The flakes of stone were, in fact, the result of 'spalling' – the disintegration of former uprights in the harsh saline desert conditions.
How to explain this Yemeni Stonehenge? We have since discovered that there were once dozens, if not hundreds, of uprights set across the landscape of al-Midamman. This was an ancient culture that indulged in the setting of giant standing stones. Indeed, once familiar with the culture, one even begins to recognise traces of it in Muslim cemeteries – including the use of recycled pillars from Bronze Age megalith sites to mark the graves of holy men.
Their copious use is all the more striking since (despite my initial thoughts that the stones might have come from nearby al-Minjarah) we now know there is no immediate, consistent, source of stone in this coastal zone. Flood-course boulders do exist; but angular megaliths definitely do not, and there are no signs that the megaliths were hewn from local boulders. So where do they come from?

uʍop ǝpısdn Noel on Alan: sky blue top, white jeans, red shoes, what the fuck is this lunatic looking on acid for 6 months
LEEDS - Another review. The deficit in England left by the Labour Government is probably the most talked about debt in the country. Yet it is the release of Upside Down: The Creation Records Story ($18=£11) that reminds us of another huge debt we all owe and that is to Mr Alan McGee for changing the face of rock n' roll with his record label, Creation Records. Alan took on the majors in the industry and turned a dream into a reality when his label went from being a hobby into a multimillion pound beast that in the end just got out of hand. He provided a platform for bands that nobody else would give a chance and this film documents the highs and the lows, right from its birth in 1983 to its implosion in 1999.
Alan McGee, having spearheaded the Creation Records dream is at the forefront of this documentary. He barely resembles the man that is shown in much of the archive footage. His former image is summed up in typically hysterical manner by none other than Noel Gallagher who described his first meeting with Alan at the King Tuts venue where Oasis were signed onto his label. "He had a sky blue top, white jeans, red shoes.. what the fuck is this lunatic? he had a skinhead at the time and looked like he had been on acid for 6 months." He probably had been… [he also said: red hair, lol]
Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie also features heavily in the documentary having been responsible for writing the album which gave Creation its first hit record, Screamadelica. The album's smash hit Loaded marked the first major crossover of indie with dance and become the labels flagship anthem, giving Creation worldwide appeal. Both Bobby's and Alan's heavy Scottish accents may create the need for subtitles for not only overseas viewers but for anyone else too. Turn up the volume and give it your full concentration. Alan and Bobby's friendship is highlighted and it becomes apparent that they owe much to each other for their own successes. Alan gave Primal Scream a chance when nobody else wanted to and Bobby inspired and encouraged Alan to push forward with his aspirations and colossal sense of ambition.
The film is an educational insight into an era of music that is largely overshadowed by the likes of Oasis and Primal Scream in the press. Ride – unsung heroes of the 90′s, are celebrated as signifying a huge step forward for the label and interviews with front man Mark Gardener and Andy Bell, now guitarist in Beady Eye, sat together speaking fondly of the past will please fans of the shoegazing heroes. The Jesus and Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine are also given their fair share of the spotlight on the film as do a host of other lesser known bands such as Swervedriver, The House Of Love and The Loft. It would probably have been easier to skim over these bands and focus entirely on the label's dinosaurs such as Oasis and Primal Scream to give the film a mainstream appeal, but they would have done themselves a dishonesty by not telling the story in detail from start to finish. These earlier bands, even if they weren't all great, "Let's not dress it up, there is some shit on there" says Noel in the DVD extras, all played a part in the story and anecdotes provided by key players in Creation's earlier years are both hilarious, touching and sometimes emotional.
The film is tinged with sadness. Much attention is focused on the chaos and partying that surrounded the label and no one partied harder than Alan himself who among others in the film gives a detailed account of his own drug breakdown in the 90′s. Its sad to learn that when Creation did become successful and achieve what it set out to do, he wasn't even around to enjoy it as he was too ill and had to take a step back from the limelight. The film does well to encapsulate the ideology that Creation Records was less a business venture and more a non-stop party. It was all about the sex, drugs and rock n' roll. For some, the drugs got a bit out of hand and those most affected open up in the film and don't hold back. Noel on the other hand is in the camp of people who came out the other side in tact and speaks fondly of his entire time spent on Creation Records. The spirit encompassed by the characters in this film is not lost on them today. None of them seem to have lost the ethos that they possessed when they signed onto Creation Records. As Noel Gallagher points out, "I'm sure if you'd asked anyone today they'd love to be back on Creation Records".
There are some impressive visuals which string all the interviews together, the most interesting being footage shot at the label's headquarters where everyone from Gruff Rhy's to Liam Gallagher can be seen arsing about in the office and having a good time. Its just like discovering footage on your mates mobile phone of a messy night out, yet one that includes all of your musical heroes. Primal Scream's live footage harks back to their Screamadelica period, which they recently went out on the road to tour again to celebrate its 20th anniversary. Yes, it has been that long. The Oasis footage from the King Tut's gig will be nothing new to die-hard fans but is pivotal as it documents a night that Alan signed the band that changed everything for him.
Credit is due to the documentary's producers for their attention to detail. Even the most informed music fan will learn something by watching this film. Every cog in the wheel that rolled the label forward is dissected, leaving no stone unturned and aided by input from all those involved in the business side of the label. Praise aside, the film does seem to end on an abrupt note, rather than reaching a climax it finishes unexpectedly. A sequence of live performances to a defining song from the era may have been a better way to go out. Noel Gallagher comes out on top as the film's quote machine, proving himself yet again to be both a charismatic rock star and professional rent-a-gob.
As well as telling the story of this record label's journey, this film also highlights how much the music industry has changed since the 90′s. You just wouldn't get someone signing a band based on their belief in someones character today. The music business is just that now – a business. How many great bands are out there waiting to be signed? The independent record label is on its knees and its a dirty climb to the top these days. If this film inspires at least one person to have a crack at embracing the Creation records ideology or go out and buy copies of Screamadelica and Definitely Maybe, then it's all been worthwhile.
Live4ever
Noel Gallagher wishes he was still signed to Creation records.
The almost 44-year-old musician is upset at the label's demise in 2000 because he thinks modern record companies offer a very different environment.
He said: "People now invest in the product and music isn't about that. I think if you asked any single band now, we'd all love to be back on Creation, not because we don't get artistic control, anywhere else, but it was a great atmosphere to make music and talk about what was possible."
He also lamented the fact most of the people who used to work at the label, founded by notorious industry figure Alan McGee, don't enjoy the jobs they have subsequently gone on to have.
Noel added: "I bump into some of the girls [who use to work there] now and again, they're all doing the same thing but for record labels they don't like for bands they don't believe in. They've all got jobs now."
