Cuba – Leader and Former President Fidel Castro

Cuban Leader and Former President Fidel Castro
By Mrs. Padmini Arhant
The Caribbean nation Cuba’s leader and the former President Fidel Castro passing at the age of 90 is a moment of reflection, appreciation and reconciliation for the country. The people having experienced tumultuous times and hardships possess the opportunity to evolve utilizing the good and learning from the bad events in history.
Politics never been transparent and accessible to people anywhere always pose a great challenge in remaining the republic with governance under specific control regardless of political ideology. Any nation undergoing revolution in resistance to failed system and hardline tactics are often met with internal and external ire prompting defensive mechanism to curb threat to sovereignty. In the process, implementing measures without revision contributes to stagnancy.
The major dilemma for developing nation in any region is protecting sovereign status with quest to undermine national integrity and self-determination rights persists under the guise of empathy expressed in apathy via coup, economic sanctions lasting decades crippling economy and isolation depriving the country from deserving growth and development.
The post revolution Cuba emulating former Soviet Union and China’s communism style of governance and economic policy was a misconceived strategy.
However, the socialist adaptation in providing universal health care and affordable housing to the poor and lower income category is a credit in the struggle to uplift standard of living.
In any form of government whether communism or so-called democracy, theocracy and autocracy somehow leads to concentration of power amongst core members not to mention extraneous influence and internal collusion besides corruption inhibiting real progress.
World under hegemony aimed at subjugation of nations for acquisition of resources and strategic dominance create impediments to self-sufficiency and autonomy. The rise of any nation and region subsequent to prolonged downturns is curtailed to maintain status quo.
Cuban leader and former President Fidel Castro withstood the test of time in the potential nuclear confrontation between the two nuclear powers – former Soviet Union and the United States, the CIA unsuccessful attempt to overthrow the leadership in BAY OF PIGS debacle and since then United States imposing economic embargo with refusal to lift sanctions and forge economic ties exacerbated Cuban citizens plight.
On the Cuban leadership part, any hardline approach inside Cuba to crackdown political dissidence to prevent repeat of Bay of Pigs could have been substituted with political and economic reform promoting trust and national interests.
In international affairs, Cuban leader’s effort in brokering peace talks between the Colombian government and FARC in the long embroiled internal conflict that produced unnecessary deaths and unrest in the South American nation merits recognition.
Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro rise to power in 1959 and remaining the political force in the nation and for many aspiring leaders in Latin America and around the world is testimony to tenacity and adeptness in surviving turbulence from within and outside the Caribbean island.
On this occasion of grief and sorrow, I offer my sincere condolences to the family and people of Cuba.
Wishing Cuba a new beginning with people represented democracy, peace and bright future.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

World – Synopsis on Women Leaderships Representing Hegemony and Dynasty Impact on Global Security and Progress

World – Synopsis on Women Leaderships Representing Hegemony and Dynasty Impact on Global Security and Progress
By Padmini Arhant
Women leaderships representing political establishment, secret society and syndicate promote violence, nuclear threats, political instability, humanitarian crisis, poverty, economic and social disparity and last but not the least corruption prompted criminal investigations evaded due to immunity.
Synopsis on catastrophe inflicted on the world population by women leaderships representing secret society and political dynasty.
Women’s rise to power ordinarily an extraordinary feat. However, in politics the status made possible through privileged and political connectivity.
Women leaderships mostly borne out of parental lineage, marital basis and servile to supremacy around the world conforming to inheritance and acquisition of power demonstrably weakened women’s stature in leadership role. In politics women pursuing power more symbolic than substantive considering egregious decisions and cavalier approach adopted for personal and vested interests.
Women ascendance in politics as head of the nation proved prone to abuse of power contrary to womanhood qualities like compassion, care, prudence and responsible conduct. The reason behind trajectory is addiction to power and fame undermining values and rationality making them no different from their male counterpart in that category.
Regardless of region whether west or east, the trend among women political leaderships thus far has contributed to violence, warfare, corruption scandals, political instability, economic chaos and lately terrorism not barring nuclear option frivolously used ignoring serious repercussions from such reckless disposition.
United States preparing to elect a woman candidate with a track record on corruption scandals such as Whitewater and participation in foreign coups overthrowing democratically elected governments in developing nations exacerbating women, youth and children plight from political turbulence. The political career marred with activities and underhanded tactics including fostering terrorism causing loss of American and scores of innocent civilian lives is not a negligible involvement.
The democratic candidate Hillary Clinton violations of human rights, breach of trust and misuse of public office not surprisingly was welcome to those keen on maintaining business as usual. The democrat candidate Hillary Clinton election to serve bidders and investors in her political campaign besides secret society and not the electorate and the country at large led to unsuccessful electoral outcome.
As Senator and Secretary of State – both posts resulting from political negotiations and wrangling, the democrat candidate Hillary Clinton spared no moments to exercise excessive authority and aggressive means for destructive purpose.
The foreign policy under Secretary of State Hillary Clinton became the death sentence for millions of civilians in Libya, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Ukraine and population in Africa and Latin America.
Accordingly, the trepidation among victims on the possibility of democrat candidate Hillary Clinton re-entering the White House for fifth term in office was a major humanitarian concern.
The concept of election having been reversed to selection with pre-determined choice, the electorate upended subsequent to casting their ballots to establishment and secret society candidacy.
Any setbacks suffered in secret society calculation evident in United States election 2016 is countered with threats to sabotage electoral mandate and protests that would have been denounced against preferred candidacy or in the aftermath of 2008 and 2012 election characterizing as racism towards black Presidency.
The election results revealed that vote for such candidate could have been a deliberate mistake leaving the economy, security and importantly peace at stake.
——————————————————————————
The highlights on women leaderships authorizing violence, turmoil, political unrest and economic decline.
Beginning with current members the following women leaders might have gained prominence in political arena at the same time initiated pain and misery with no regrets for their action.
United States – The democrat Presidential candidate – Hillary Rodham Clinton. The entry in politics facilitated by spouse’s position as Governor of Arkansas and later as President of the United States. The candidate Hillary Clinton politics is money, mistrust and mayhem. The summary on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton clarifies power exploitation for personal gains with no respect for laws and life in general.
——————————————————————————
United Kingdom – The Brexit vote on EU membership terminated incumbency replaced with yet another woman leadership in Britain from the conservative party aka Tory. Prime Minister Theresa May willingness towards nuclear confrontation confirmed during Parliament question session is alarming in context with nuclear meltdown. Nuclear armament claimed necessary as deterrent apparently reserved as exclusive rights amongst nuclear powers especially the ones complicit in the use of nuclear components as NATO ally viz. Britain on civilians in Iraq, Libya and recently in Syria.
The same argument was dismissed during Iran’s nuclear deal in Vienna in 2015 at the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) noting the glaring double standards on nuclear entitlements escalating tension in the world. Although this topic merits discussion on entirety, the reality deserves concentration.
Britain’s predecessor, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher referred to as the Iron Lady led the nation to war in South Atlantic – better known as Falklands for Britain and Islas Malvinas for Argentina arguably disputed until today. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher conservatism or Thatcherism sparked controversy on many issues including economic plan that left the poor poorer marginalizing vulnerable segments in society. Many remarks from Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher caught world attention and among them were the reference to developing nations as barbaric and on immigration, the woman Prime Minister initiated virginity test on women immigrants into Britain from India and other destinations definitely marked the irony.
——————————————————————————
Germany – the first female Chancellor Angela Merkel of Christian Democratic Union (CDU), the conservative faction with religious connotation absent Christian principles under incumbent Merkel’s leadership lay emphasis on European Union (EU), European Central Bank (ECB) governing euro currency in euro zone and International Monetary Fund (IMF) along with major international banks as parallel power.
Chancellor Angela Merkel avid advocacy for ECB, IMF and international banks packaged economic and monetary policy premised on austerity demanding fiscal responsibility from euro members in the face of severe economic crisis and soaring unemployment in Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain (PIGS) protracted financial and economic woes experienced until now.
Chancellor Angela Merkel cart blanche role using political threats in the aftermath of Greece public referendum with resounding no on austerity produced resignations from key figures in Greece ruling party in agreement with Greek voters’ option.
Chancellor Angela Merkel overture in this instance had no respect for Greece sovereignty.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel representation more of EU than Germany conspicuous in EU vote to lift ban on weapons supply to terror networks in Syria, Iraq and Libya instead of extending arms embargo that could have saved thousands of lives besides averting refugee problems to which
Chancellor Merkel explicitly denied asylum to millions forced to leave war torn Syria, Iraq and Libya.
Furthermore, Chancellor Angela Merkel defense contract and arms delivery to Saudi Arabia and nuclear laden submarine as a gift to Israel – the two states central in fomenting terror in the Middle East exemplify indifference to Saudi Kingdom’s human rights abuse using violence and women in particular and similarly Palestinian suffering in Israel occupied Palestine.
————————————————————————-
Israel – Prime Minister Golda Meir – The first and only female Prime Minister thus far in the State of Israel having served in Israeli military also referred to as the Iron Lady denied the existence of Palestine conforming to Zionist ideology on Jewish origin as chosen people ordained to be on Holy Land.
Prime Minister Golda Meir debacle reflected in October war or Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement and Prayer for peace in Jewish faith) war in 1973 between Arabs and Israel diminishing further prospects for a long political career with her resignation from the office.
Prime Minister Golda Meir controversial and militaristic foreign policy and especially disputing Palestine presence despite her arrival in 1921 as an immigrant from United States well before establishment of the state of Israel in Palestine conclusively defines the leadership failure to accept reality and foster peaceful relations with Palestinians and Arabs in the region.
———————————————————————
Australia – Prime Minister Julia Gillard – The first female deputy Prime Minister then elevated to Prime Minister post due to political party internal fractures only to be sidelined after not being able to survive no confidence vote. This was in a way hegemony orchestrated side show using women representative to demonstrate that competence is not women’s cup of tea.
The former Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s compliance to hegemony strategy projecting womanhood in bad light impetus challenge against such false representation and consistent effort to disqualify credible potential in a woman.

Focus on Women leadership in the East.
India – Cauvery Dispute between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu
September 17, 2016
By Padmini Arhant
The Supreme Court decision directing the state of Karnataka to share water from Cauvery river with Tamil Nadu has unfortunately attracted unnecessary disturbance in two southern states in India.
The recent violence and protests led by Karnataka farmers and entertainment industry members in opposition to judicial verdict might be justified as the groups disappointment and anguish over their requirements not addressed in the process.
However, the violent means to express grievance on any issue often undermine the cause and lead to unrest. Karnataka farmers and those objecting to water distribution to Tamil Nadu should review the situation rationally rather than politically that creates more tension in the otherwise possible amicable solution.
Cauvery river originating in Karnataka flowing into Tamil Nadu is essentially following the natural system. Interrupting the flow of any one or more rivers bound to disrupt functionality exacerbating problems at the source with overall impact.
Water scarcity is a common challenge in the absence of efficient mechanisms to compensate conditions varying from drought to contaminated ponds and wells posing serious health hazards in the community.
The recycling plant with effective treatment eliminating pollutants and carcinogens could serve in the reuse of water. The citizens efforts to avoid disposal of items and trash ending in reservoirs or water storage facilities could ease the burden on municipal corporations responsibility.
Clean drinking water is critical for survival with households in urban and rural areas facing acute water shortage due to lack of preparedness and planning to maintain steady water supply.
The rain water harvesting during monsoon or heavy rainy seasons is one of several methods to meet persistent deficiencies in water circulation for irrigational and general purpose.
Southern states – Karnataka and Tamil Nadu adeptness in technology and modern scientific techniques could benefit from public and private sector investments in refining desalination of water from ground wells and sea making the end product viable and safe for consumption.
The awareness and education on water conservation combined with proper utilization of excess water from wherever obtainable is the basic step to prevent routine difficulty. The recycling concept could be adapted not barring waste removal and management for clean water provision.
The collective obligations from citizens and relevant authorities coming together in reaching mutual goal on water availability to all without disruption would alleviate widespread suffering from minimal water access.
As for agitations and destruction of others assets and taxpayers expended city property, the approach is counterproductive benefitting none. The rage and fury blinds the mind prohibiting reasoning faculty to guide and resolve matter.
Among all good deeds, sparing water to anyone is the genuine human spirit given the element importance in life existence. No amount of wealth and material donations could ever replace quenching thirst with water.
Accordingly denying water under any circumstances would be depriving others the opportunity to exist and the action is inhumane not to mention the worst sin in lifetime.
I end this topic with a parable.
There was a king claiming pride on his kingdoms and vast acquisitions in possession. Then unexpectedly a traveler appeared and requested to see the king to exchange views on his travel experience in the kingdom. The traveler is granted permission to visit the royal court.
Much to the traveler’s frustration, the royal protocol forbids him from speaking until spoken to while he desperately seeks a moment to ask for a glass of water.
When the traveler is allowed to speak, he begins with Could I please have some water for I am very thirsty?
He is served meager water and told to present his opinion on his trip to the kingdom.
The traveler then resumes interaction.
Throughout my travel around your kingdom including my entry in the palace, I noticed the water fountains, waterfalls, lakes and ponds beautifying your premise and the city.
At the same time, the custom to serve regular water to guests is apparently not a tradition and one can get it only at considerable cost to my surprise.
Plain and clean drinking water is ordinarily offered as a welcome gesture that is not prevalent in your kingdom.
The traveler said the practice further confirmed impoverishment despite fancy objects and monuments as the symbol of economic status for water is the treasure from nature to enable and enrich life. When any living being whether human or other species need water they cannot be satisfied with anything else except water.
The king thought the traveler would have nothing but appreciations for the kingdom’s affluence and appearance. Then after the traveler’s candor realized the meaning of wealth and richness lies in simple and down to earth attributes like sharing life-saving water enhancing the beneficiary and benefactors’ well-being.
Water and air are natural endowments for life sustenance. The attempts barring flow of rivers and tributaries eventually merging to form the ocean is detrimental to ecological balance.
Any disagreements are best settled with understanding and respect for universal progress linked to interdependency.
Hope Cauvery is treated with deserving dignity as rivers freely flowing across the region contribute to lush environment and fertile land blessing life upon contact.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

அரசியல் புதிர் – Political Conundrum

எழுத்தாளர், ஆசிரியை மற்றும் தொகுப்பாளர்,
பத்மினி அர்ஹந்த்
வணக்கம்.
தமிழர்கள் உட்பட உலகத்தின் குடி மக்கள் எல்லோருக்கும் சில விஷயங்கள் பற்றி என் கருத்தைத் தெரிவிக்க விரும்புகிறேன். தற்கால உலக சூழ்நிலை சாதாரண மக்களுக்கு அதிக வாய்ப்பு இல்லாத பட்சத்தில் வறுமையும் நிறைய துன்பங்களையும் அவர்கள் சகித்து கொண்டிருக்கின்றனர். இதே மாதிரி மத்திய வருமான உறுப்பினரும் அவதிப் படுகின்றனர். அரசு மக்களின் பிரச்சனைகளை முழுமையாக தீர்க்காவிட்டாலும் அதை குறைப்பதற்கு வழியை தேடலாம். ஆனால் அதற்கு அக்கறையும் ஆலோசனையும் தேவை. இது இரண்டும் காணவில்லை. காரணம் – அரசாட்சியில் தலைமை புரிபவர்கள் இதை முக்கியமாகக் கருதுவதில்லை.
உதாரணமாக – பாரதத்தின் தமிழ் நாட்டில் மக்கள் அவதி பெரிதாகினும் முதல் அமைச்சர் தன் கட்சியின் விவகாரங்களை கண்காணிக்கவும் கட்சியிலுள்ள அதிபர்களை விளக்கவும் தண்டிக்கவும் நேரம் சரியாகிறது. இந்த சம்பவங்கள் கட்சியின் அலுவலகத்தில் வைத்து கொண்டாலும் ஒரு பக்கத்தில் இது அரசியல்வாதிகளின் குடும்ப பிரச்சினை என்று போய் விடும். ஆனால் இதை பிரசங்கம் செய்து நாடாளும் மன்றத்தில் நாடகம் நடப்பதில் மும்மரமாகியுள்ளார்.
திரை உலகத்திருந்து அரசியலுக்கு வந்ததினாலோ படம் காட்டும் பழக்கம் முத்திப்போனதில் ஆச்சரியமில்லை. மாநிலத்தின் நிலமையோ அல்லது பொது மக்களின் வேண்டிய வசதிகளைக் கவனிப்பதற்கு இவர்கள் கையில் ரொக்கத்தை திணித்தால்தான் எதுவும் நடக்கும். இவர்களுக்கு மீண்டும் மீண்டும் வோட்டை போட்டு சிம்மாசனத்தில் அமர்த்தி வைக்கும் பாமர மக்களும் நகரத்தில் வசிக்கும் செல்வந்தர்களும் அவர்களுடைய சுயநலன் நீடிக்க இந்த மாதிரி ஊழலில் மூழ்கிய பேர்வழிகளை ஆண்டாண்டு காலம் பதவியில் உட்கார அனுமதிப்பதால் மற்றவர்களுக்கு மிகுந்த அல்லல் அவஸ்தை உருவாகியுள்ளது.
இந்த கட்சியைத் தவறினால் எதிர்க் கட்சி இவர்களின் இராட்டை சகோதரர்.
இந்த நிலமை தமிழ் நாடு மற்றபடி எங்குமே தர்ம சங்கடமாகியுள்ளது. திரை உலகம், செய்தி, பத்திரிக்கை, வானொலி, டெலிவிஷன் யாவும் இவர்களின் கைவசம். இவர்களை புகழ்வதும், வாழ்த்துவதும் ஆக மொத்தம் இவர்களின் கவசமாகியுள்ளார்கள்.
உண்மையை மறைத்து பொய்யை மெய்யாக்குவது சூடான சாம்பார் சாதத்தில் நெய் விட்டது போல் ஆகி விடுகிறது. இவர்களுக்கு இது சர்வ சாதாரணம். செய்தி நிலையங்கள், திரைப்படம் ஆகியவைகள் மக்களின் குரலை நிராகரித்து அரசியலின் யந்திரமாக இருப்பினும், உண்மையை பேரம் பேசி விலைக்கு வாங்கி விடுகின்றனர்.
விலை வாசி புயல் போல் படர்ந்து வானத்தைத் தொட்டாலும், அது மக்கள் விதியாகிவிடுகிறது.
தமிழ் நாடு திரை உலகம் மற்ற நாட்டில் தமிழர்களின் கீழான ஸ்தானத்தையும், குறைகள், வேறுபாடு என்ற பல விதமான கஷ்டங்களை இந்தியாவிற்கும் உலகத்திற்கும் உணரவைப்பது பெருமையாக இருந்தாலும், தமிழ் நாட்டில் வாழும் குடி மக்கள் குடி நீர் இல்லாமல், வசிக்க இடமில்லாமல், மாணவர்கள் படித்து பட்டதாரி ஆகியும் வேலைக் கிடைப்பது குதிரை கொம்பாக இருப்பதை செய்தி, பத்திரிக்கை, டெலிவிஷன், திரைப்படம் என்ற பிரபல மையங்கள் மூலம் அரசியல் நிபுணர்கள், அறிஞர், மற்றும் கலைஞர் ஆகியோர்க்கு எடுத்து உரைத்தால் அது நிலவரத்தைக் கொஞ்சம் சீர் திருத்தலாம். ஆனால் இது நடக்கிற விஷயமில்லை.
நான் மேல் பகுதியில் கூறியது போல், தொடர்பு ஊடகங்கள் (Communication Media) ஊழல்வாதிகளுக்குச் சங்கு ஊதுவது அவர்களுக்கு சாதகமாகியுள்ளது. தமிழ் நாட்டில் சமீபத்தில் மூலைக்கு மூலை குடி நீருக்குப் பதில் மதுக் கடைகள் டாஸ்மாக் என்ற முறையில் குடியை கெடுக்கும் குடி பழக்கத்தைப் பரவிய அரசியல் கட்சிக்கு மக்களின் எதிர்ப்பு எந்த மாறுதலையும் தரவில்லை. அதற்கு ஏறு மாறாக மீண்டும் அந்தக் கட்சியும் அதன் தலைவியையும் திரும்ப ஆட்சிக்குக் கொண்டு வந்தது குடி அரசின் மிக பெரியத் தோல்வியாகும்.
மற்ற கட்சிகளும் இந்த வகையில் ஒன்றுதான். இந்த சீர் குழைந்த சிக்கல்களை நான் எடுத்துக் கூறினால், அவர்கள் தன்னிடமிருக்கும் பிரச்சார ஆயுதம் அதாவது மீடியா வழியாக தாக்குவதில் திறமை வாய்ந்துள்ளார்கள். தன்னைக் காப்பாற்றவும், தன் பதவியைப் பாதுகாப்பதும்தான் அவசியமாகியுள்ளது.
இது தமிழ் நாடு மற்றுமில்லை, இந்தியாவிலும், உலக பகுதிகளில் நடந்து வரும் அரசியல் வழக்கமாகி விட்டது. ஆனால் தமிழ் நாடு அரசியல் தரம் கெட்டு, மதி இழந்து குடி மக்களை குடி பழக்கத்தில் திசை மாற்றியது மனித குலத்திற்குத் தீங்கும் இழப்பையும் ஏற்றியுள்ளது. இதையெல்லாம் விட இவர்களை தட்டிக் கேட்பதில்லாமல், இவர்களுக்கு பூமாலை சூடி இவர்கள் படத்திற்கு முன்னாள் திருஷ்டிக் கழிப்பது மனித மூடத்தனம், பலஹீனம் தெளிவாகிறது.
கண் விழித்திருந்தும் பாதைத் தவறினால், அது மூலை உபயோகத்தில் குறையாகும்.
இத்துடன் இந்த சங்கதி முடிகிறது.
என்னிடமிருந்து மக்கள் சமுதாயம் சம்பந்த சர்ச்சை உங்கள் முன்னாள் விரைவில் காணலாம்.
மீண்டும் தொடர்பு கூடிய சிக்கிரமாகும்.
எல்லோருக்கும் என் மனமார்ந்த நன்றி.
இப்படிக்கு,

Immunity – War Crimes and Abuse of Power
July 9, 2016
By Padmini Arhant
Terror and terrorism emanating from profiteers of violence with agenda to prolong status quo is the twenty first century war against peace and unity.
Politics seeped in corruption and criminality justified as the means to remain in power through elections that legitimize illegitimacy is the norm that fuels chaos and turmoil in the tumultuous era.
The institutions, private organizations and secret society run governments poised as champions of democracy while unseating democratically elected choices for proxies representing the ideology and dogma prevalent much to self-detriment.
The success through ballots in the so-called democracies is largely based on campaign finance and unscrupulous strategy allowing the undesirable and establishment nominees to acquire power.
The electoral process is a platform misguiding the hungry and hopeless electorate in search for hope and change in life with the elected ultimately serving the campaign sponsors and economic stakeholders interest.
The incognito rule directing policies with representatives and agents in politics, economic sector, communication media and entertainment industry…not barring religious domain exemplify the state of affairs.
Any investigations and inquiry on wars clearly identifying the authorities misuse of power and cavalier approach would be effective and meaningful upon universal application of international law rather than selective incarceration and judgments witnessed time and again against Eastern Europe and African members targeted to convince the world on International Court of Justice role as UN body.
Furthermore, the nations proclaimed as democratic conducting probe on such matter utilizing tax payer funds could demonstrate serious commitment in advancing the inquest into indictments setting precedence to curb abuse of power and discretionary actions by the government claimed to represent the people.
Instead, the former and present chief executives are provided opportunity through media and surrogacy to self-exonerate on crimes against humanity rendering the independent or appointed committees’ arduous exercise futile to reinforce business as usual practice.
In any society that values democratic principles would hold every citizen accountable regardless of status for violation of laws and human rights reversing the paradoxical system.
The tradition granting immunity to political figures and celebrities on activities that would otherwise have legal repercussions for ordinary citizens is a vindication of crimes and criminal behavior adding insult to injury to victims and families in the apparent civil society.
The powerful forces aggression against powerless misinterpreting political mandate and operating without checks and balances in the increasingly cooperative and tolerant setting to blatant breach of electoral trust and sovereign integrity promotes carte blanche authority.
Unless the severity of damages in enabling counterproductive course and indulgence is addressed through mass consciousness predominantly affecting them, the path to destruction would continue under the pretext of pervasive benefit despite reality.
The mind invasions in the name of art and entertainment as well as every possible medium that attracts public attention are engaged for propaganda and illusive portrayal.
Although the nuances are intended to tarnish images with the efforts in vain, the disclaimers conveniently used in defense to absolve them of possible legal consequence on character defamation and mendacity.
Again the noble and righteous would introspect and refrain from being part and parcel of contemptuous dealing.
The world’s progress is sustainable with law and order made applicable from top to bottom without exception rejecting exclusive privilege based on political and economic position.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

EU – BREXIT
June 27, 2016
By Padmini Arhant
The referendum in the United Kingdom favoring BREXIT has sparked reaction and sentiments followed by political resignations in Britain.
Understanding the concept, ideology and strategy in addition to trajectory of any organization, union and institution with or without transformation facilitates fair evaluation.
Accordingly, EU role and functionality since inception and relevantly in recent memory is presented for clarity and focus on reality.
European Union with 27 states as members including Britain until now is essentially a parallel government headed by President, Foreign Secretary and key stakeholders appointed to run the alternate body not limited to regional affairs.
EU emergence with bureaucrats and political leaderships in various designations assume power that typically undermines sovereign status of member nation.
EU embarked on consolidating prospects with respect to trade and commerce within Europe not excluding human resources through immigration and multilateral treaty binding members to reciprocate on economic activities for European progress.
Such framework attracts interest and boost position besides diverse aspirations to optimize gains and mitigate losses from the venture.
The model in practice provided temporary results with nations vying for EU membership subject to approval upon satisfying EU requirement.
However, with benefits not commonly distributed the economic downturn produced high unemployment and trade imbalance not to mention exploitation of human capital.
EU as the central authority located in Brussels, Belgium exert control over economic and monetary policy.
Notwithstanding extensive involvement in political governance of weak economies like Greece and alike imposing austerity in the name of fiscal responsibility that continues to exacerbate economic woes creating generational indebtedness.
EU formation and subsequent introduction of euro as the preferred currency unit set the trend for struggling nations in the territory to peg the economy on fledgling euro in the hope of economic recovery.
The outcome thus far evidenced in selective dominance in the union enable financial and economic advantage to them at vast majority expense comprising ordinary citizens, labor force and educated youths in particular.
The transition cost vulnerable states like Cyprus, Greece and similar euro members to succumb to harsh financial terms and conditions not barring unethical means on compliance.
The prominent financial institutions viz. European Central Bank (ECB), the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and international banks influence on the matter with heads of the government as powerful EU representatives obliging bankers demands in debt management is not a populist doctrine.
Furthermore, EU membership is based on meeting criteria that are not necessarily confined to economy but extends beyond pledging allegiance to EU policy.
The global recession in late 2007 with sub-prime mortgage crisis originating from the United States and lack of transparency and accountability in the financial dealings had contagion effect.
Europe economic stagnancy under EU in the absence of necessary growth is yet to demonstrate measures to ease persisting uncertainty and volatility in the market performance. The significant impact on the desperate job situation cannot be ignored either.
EU stance on immigration clarified in member states like France, Germany, Italy and Spain…immigrants plight forced to contend with lower wages and social inequality.
EU ideology and strategy premised on geopolitical expansion in partnership with the United States as NATO ally confirmed in Ukraine leaving the once stable nation in chaos and turmoil.
In the middle east, EU decision to lift arms embargo rather than reinforcing weapons ban to terror networks now proliferated as ISIS and ISIL contributed to refugee problems in Syria, Iraq and Lebanon.
Syrian refugees seeking political asylum are denied entry by EU with greater efforts and plan mobilized to curb citizens’ influx from war torn Syria and Iraq.
As for Islamophobia, the cartoon depiction and denigration of Islam’s Prophet from EU member state was entertained as freedom of expression as it goes with other religion or spiritual representation.
On the contrary, there is zero tolerance to constructive critique on issues affecting people’s lives and the world at large.
The celebrity worship with proxies granted immunity on serious violations and crimes define the detrimental tradition.
In the context of BREXIT vote, the discussion on facts over hype spreading clamor and hysteria would exemplify propriety. The subversion and spin are distractions at best and deception at worst when forming conclusions on public opinion.
Britain having retained the original currency – pound sterling and never subscribed to euro during membership perhaps explain the reservations on euro.
The decline of Britain’s pound against dollar on BREXIT projected as the strength of EU is a perspective without justification.
Change is an evolutionary process in the experimental and natural event.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Colonialism, Nazism and Neo Nazi Evolution
February 28, 2016
By Padmini Arhant
Nazism in twentieth century linked to world war II with the rise of Germany for global conquest.
Nazism related holocaust is widely propagated topic until today. Holocaust formed the basis for sources to seek solution leading to perennial conflict in the Middle East – Israel and Palestinian crisis.
In an effort to compensate holocaust victims, the measure established a state within a state farther away from geographic location, Germany – the holocaust origin leaving the local population in Palestine stateless in their homeland.
Meanwhile the atrocities against natives and genocide worldwide in colonial era extended at present apparently not significant to end status quo. The reference in particular is Palestine and alike.
Colonialism emerged from presumptuous and self-proclaimed kingdoms asserting expansionism colonized and annexed territories at will with little or no respect for sovereignty and integrity of nations near and far.
The trend continued in contemporary period with similar traits and defined western democracy.
Nazism emanating from workers’ party representation surely was devious subverting socialism concept demanding equitable income distribution in society.
Nazism flourished in the past century with colonialists’ direct engagement fraternizing relations for vested interests.
Colonial members and oligarchy decisive role as Nazi cohorts somehow not factored in the selective vilification of those frequently cited as Nazi renegade in previous century.
Nazism and colonialism as two sides of the coin engender prejudice and preference to pedigree with Aryan race superimposed on developments in the relevant time not to mention prevalent practice in this regard.
Colonialists courting Nazis deemed tenable in contrast to patriot’s defiance to colonialism committing massacre and gross human rights violations is subject to scrutiny.
Indian freedom fighter Subash Chandra Bose then forming Indian National Army and alleged alliance with Japan during world war II is denounced by colonial representatives at every opportunity.
Juxtaposed rapid transformation post world war II with western powers – United States, UK, France and Israel’s ties strengthened not severed between them and Germany as well as Japan even though Germany was Nazi represented and Japan under Emperor Hirohito adapted authoritarianism.
Japan is now United States ally and second largest creditor while Germany remains NATO partner in hegemony goals and promoted to UNSC P5+1 exclusive club.
Notwithstanding western media and press coverage on Japan’s Emperor Hirohito descendants in modern times no less than adulation parallel to Britain’s Royalty despite events described during Nazism and totalitarianism emulating colonialism reminiscent of dark history.
Indian political class secrecy subscribing to classified information on independence movement leader Subash Chandra Bose existence and demise tantamount complicity to imperialists stance on this issue.
Colonialism and Nazism essentially serve agenda aimed at global dominance. Neo Nazism targets ethnic diversity and minority groups vulnerable to political gains predisposed in altering demography.
The twenty first century policy is renewed colonialism spreading incessant violence and discrimination through manufactured and fostered terrorism instrumental in destabilizing nations for supremacy.
The counterproductive actions exemplified in terror sponsoring and strategy dedicated to eliminating civilizations is the dichotomy for those presiding over delineation of respective participation in Nazi age.
Colonialism, feudalism, Nazism, neo-Nazism and corporatism share common values – empowerment at the disadvantaged and disenfranchised expense.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

India – The Political Game
February 25, 2016
By Padmini Arhant
The recent developments in India with political establishment sworn allegiance to enemy of humanity functioning from within and outside the nation are engaged in self-destructive course.
The incumbent administration headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi along with members of political class in the ruling and opposition at the national and state level together misinterpret mandate with misuse of power – customary in politics.
The external forces desperate strategy to polarize society worldwide at every opportunity for vested interests spare none with representation across the spectrum actively promote discord and anti-republic agenda.
Despite fait accompli evident in status quo, supremacists instigated partisanship on social issues exacerbate protagonists, catalysts and agents’ situation with imminent failure.
Indian political power confrontation with youths and various demography from time to time is nothing more than distraction to prevent public focus and scrutiny on government and opposition parties’ performance or the lack thereof on burgeoning issues concerning people and the nation at large.
The education ministry positioned as human resources department (HRD) frequent broil with student organizations in reputable educational institutions like Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Chennai earlier, incident involving resident scholar suicide in Hyderabad University and now Jawaharlal Nehru University(JNU), New Delhi citing caste and religion based allegations prove concerted efforts to provoke and distort student activities on campus as anti-government initiative.
HRD minister Smriti Irani challenging citizenry to guess on personal profile related to own caste inviting needless speculations and possible affront regardless of the fact on origin being Sindhi and last name Irani connected to Rubin Irani (Iranian Jew), the repeat reference to subjects as Dalit or Muslim in latest controversies is the irony.
Not to mention the HRD minister prior to holding cabinet post and elevated to political spotlight was a strong advocate for none other than the so called political rival Rahul Gandhi with appearance on Indian network utilizing soap opera stardom mocked this website for empirical presentation on Congress Party and dynasty rule under the guise of democracy.
The political theater in Indian Parliament is aptly performed by small and big screen actors attracted to politics for entertainment.
HRD minister offer to quit politics upon providing evidence for links to these rows although education ministry response to these episodes has been far from rapprochement enhance theatrical enactment.
Furthermore, HRD minister entry into politics and participation in election marred with falsified statements on credentials in sworn affidavit electoral form and subsequently under oath speak volume on individual integrity and credibility of political system.
Stoking sentiments using religion, caste and creed for wanton notions is colonial tactic implemented through wilful operatives incentivized with monetary rewards and limelight.
India or for that matter any nation falling prey to deliberate crescendos to disrupt normal environment is negligence at best and acquiescence at worst in safeguarding sovereignty and democratic principles that guarantee freedom to share views on state of affairs.
The seat of democracy would foster not forbid peaceful dialogue, assembly and citizens rights to convene forums on matter political or general.
Invoking poet (Rabindranath Tagore), saint (Vivekananda) and scholar (Dr. Ambedkar) in Parliamentary debate would be meaningful in adherence to the message from the great minds.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

World – Irony and Idiocy
February 20, 2016
By Padmini Arhant
The topic will focus on different issues to understand world affairs.
In this segment the highlight is on politics.
United Nations (UN) – United against peace, independence and progress.
UNSC – More appropriately United Western Diktat (UWD). The western powers united against non-western sovereign countries and their most favorite actions are economic sanctions, sponsoring terrorism and authorizing direct invasion of vulnerable nations under the guise of maintaining political stability that has successfully led to irreversible instability thus far.
UNSC – United Nations Security Council – the unipolar Council with veto power deriding unilateralism despite unilateral decisions in decimation of nations and starvation of population via violent interventions and trade embargo.
UNSC resolve in preventing resolution on Palestinian statehood ending Israeli occupation and persecution forged as irreconcilable difference amongst stakeholders in the so-called international pulpit is travesty of human intellect.
UN Peace Keeping Force is UN Disturbance Spreading Corps with track record in abandoning pleading women, children and elderly at the mercy of government pledged to ethnic cleansing viz. Sri Lanka under former President and military commander Mahinda Rajapaksa.
Meanwhile in Africa – women subject to rape and children left to fend for themselves as rebel factions’ recruits in the UNSC authorized perpetual war zone.
NATO – North Atlantic Treaty Organization is aptly North Atlantic Turbulence Origin established in balkanization of regions and states in the quest for global conquest.
EU – European Union. Unified in promoting war, terrorism, refugee status and the hall mark is unemployment, hunger and poverty in the signature act on austerity.
UN and EU – One World government models to implement order under New World Order phasing out the purported law of the jungle.
United States – Declared the beacon of democracy champion the cause of human rights violation exemplified in Guantanamo Bay, police brutality and racial profiling in the highest order.
US Presidential Race – Horse race (Derby) with pre-selected winner in agreement with prolonging status quo.
United States Supreme Court Appointments – Safeguard administration policies rather than constitutional law defending civil rights and social justice.
United States Government (Congress and Administration) – Unanimous in dysfunctional governance.
United Kingdom – Proudly claimed as western democracy with the country stated as Kingdom under archaic monarchy rule.
France – Yet another western democracy with Presidential contest designed to dupe electorate delivering Socialist President devoted to capitalist socialism disappointing nation on anticipated populism.
Germany – Positioned as pro-democracy – western style with policies engineered towards weakening nations experiencing critical economic and western generated terror crisis.
India – Hailed as the world’s largest democracy ruled by plutocracy with dynasty, celebrities and industrialists patent over fame and fortune rein control over the fate of remaining 1.2 billion populace.
Lies and false statements in sworn affidavits and under oath during and post election regardless of criminal offense are rewarded with cabinet posts ranging from education (HRD) ministry to highest office in state and national level.
Corruption and criminality empowered as electoral mandate subscribing to democracy is the irony with electorate endorsement epitomizing idiocy.
The title Irony and Idiocy will continue to shed light on matter concerning humanity.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Syria – Conflict, Terror Evolution And UNSC Decision
November 21, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
Dear Citizens,
Syrian Conflict that began in March 2011 with western powers and allies in the Middle East sponsoring terrorism has claimed more than 250,000 innocent lives and forced millions of Syrians to leave their homeland as refugees facing worst humanitarian crises.
The war then spread to Iraq and impact Lebanon, Turkey and now become a global terror.
The western powers and coalition manufactured terror to destabilize Syria has evolved into Daesh Takfiri network.
I present impromptu thoughts on this topic. The article is a synopsis with solutions to end Syrian warfare and terror existence.
Two remedies are offered in this context and they are –
1. Western powers and allies withdrawal of support to terror operatives in Syria and Iraq.
2. The other requirement is complete and comprehensive ban on weapons supply to terror groups besides trade restriction with Daesh Takfiri and alike that would lead to terror networks disarmament.
Unwillingness and inaction in this regard would reveal the real enemies threatening humanity.
Instead the latest UNSC decision to wage war against Daesh Takfiri elements surviving on western powers and partners financing, ammunitions delivery, illegal trading of Syrian and Libyan oil in addition to ammunitions sales from them is repeat strategy of Iraq invasion in 2003 under false pretext.
