Bagram is a historic city 60 kilometers northwest of Kabul, in Afghanistan. Located at the crossroads between East and West of the yore, it has witnessed intense cultural exchanges in the past. Before being sacked by the Sassanian emperor in year 241, Bagram was once the summer capital of the great Kushan Empire of India. In the ruins of the central palace building in Bagram, a treasure trove of rich antiques was found. These ranged from ivory-plated stools of Indian origin, lacquered boxes from Han dynasty era, Greco-Roman glasses from Egypt and Syria, Hellenistic statues in the Pompean style to moldings and silverware of Mediterranean origin.

In the democracy of the dead all men at last are equal. There is neither rank nor station nor prerogative in the republic of the grave. John James Ingalls.

The United Nations Organization was set up by the victorious allies at the end of World War II. The founding charter was endorsed by 51 countries. Today 191 states send delegates to the General Assembly.

The opening of 21st century witnessed a severe mauling of this august body. The supposed custodian of world peace, the United Nations was hammered into subservience in the run-up to the Iraq war. The United States and Britain, the Big Two out of the Big Five, trampled upon the world opinion with a rude disdain. Loyalties were bought and sold in plain sight. This brazen demonstration of naked ambitions was openly backed by a crude display of elephantine might. The world stood aghast as a helpless bystander paying an anguished accolade to this vulgar show of unbridled power. Read more

Almost all of the major world crisis can be traced to the Arab world. Concurrently, out of all the foreign forces present in the Arab world, a whopping 85% are American forces. So in essence it really is America Vs the Arab World. For better understanding, let us take a brief look at the character of the two protagonists.

Here is the creed of the gang that now occupies the White House;

“The American leadership is good both for America and for the world; and that such leadership requires military strength, diplomatic energy and commitment to moral principle.” Read more

I believe any wanton loss of life should make us cringe, let alone the one visited upon a defenseless people by the most awesome military machine on earth. I believe that when we mourn, we should make no distinction on the basis of race, color or creed as no one’s blood is redder than that of the next man’s. I believe that even as we wallow in our collective grief, each day as the sun sets in Iraq it sets not just on its landscape…it also sets on hundreds of innocent lives, cut down in a brutal war that was neither of their making nor of their choice. I believe that while we all continue to express our powerless sorrow, the bloodbath in Iraq surges ahead unchecked and unrestrained. In the aftermath of my article The United Vegetative States of America, I received hundreds of emails/comments from readers the world over. Most of these were from Americans. They spoke to me in one voice. They wanted to have nothing to do with this evil war that is wrought upon an already aggrieved nation by the corporate businessmen, bankers and oilmen. They had seen through the holy façade, the blatant lies and the sinister cover-ups. They understood…they shared the pain…they condemned the atrocities…they were sorry. Read more



The United Vegetative States of America

Where is the free American media and their kind hearted patrons when their G.I. Joes are pumping up Iraq with depleted uranium, napalm bombs, cluster munitions and poisonous gases even as these lines are being written? Is death less camera-friendly in Iraq or is it less worthy of the Americans’ attention? Are Iraqis children of a lesser god? Go talk of Schiavo’s right to live or die.

After having lived for 15 years in a persistent vegetative state, Terri Schindler Schiavo crossed over from here to the hereafter on the last day of March.

With her blood scent up in the air, the feral American media went berserk in the last two weeks of Schiavo’s life. Using this so called freest press in the world, the American public was lead on a leash by the right-wing activists with a not so subtle help from the neofundos ruling the roost in their great country. The pro-life campaigners remained at the point of this bizarre national entertainment. Read more



The End Of Days

The enlightened world citizenry needs to jolt itself into action before the lunatics on either side decide to answer the call on one fateful night of full moon. Otherwise, the ‘End of Days’ may not seem such a far-fetched idea.

SUICIDE ATTACKS have been on the rise around the world for about the last two decades. Since many such attacks have been actually, or purportedly, committed by Muslims, it has been conveniently obvious that Islamic ‘fundamentalism’ and ‘militancy’ are the central causes. Another expedient conclusion has been that these ‘fundamentalists’ abhor Christianity in general and Western civilization, or it’s so called way of life, in particular. Read more
