How Deep State Assassinated Modi’s Protégé Gen. Bipin Rawat?


How ironic that only two generals in Indian army were promoted out of turn as army chiefs and both were brutally assassinated. One was Gen. Arun Kumar Vaidya who was appointed army chief by Indira Gandhi in 1983 and the other was Bipin Rawat who was appointed army chief by Modi in 2016 while superseding two senior officers.

Following the gruesome assassination of Indira Gandhi in 1984, her handpicked army chief Gen. Arun Kumar Vaidya also met his predestined fate in 1986, only several months after retirement. Both assassinations were alleged to be carried out by Sikhs, but in fact the murder plots had fingerprints of deep state all over, in the backdrop of Siachen conflict and Indian army’s subversive plan to mount pre-emptive airstrikes on Pakistan’s nuclear installations in the Orwellian year 1984, as brought to light by the US State Dept.’s documents declassified in 2015.

Bipin Rawat was Modi’s lackey. Despite completing three-year tenure as army chief, the new position of Chief of Defense Staff was created in Jan. 2020 to accommodate him, because Modi wouldn’t trust anybody to lead India’s behemoth armed forces besides him. Modi had trouble finding Rawat’s replacement, and eventually Ajit Doval’s protégé Anil Chauhan was brought back from retirement to be appointed as Chief of Defense Staff, which is a ceremonial post equivalent to Pakistan’s Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff. Indian army’s de facto head honcho has traditionally been army chief, a powerful appointment currently held by Gen. Upendra Dwivedi.

Bipin Rawat was despised by India’s military brass, because despite suffering two humiliating defeats – India’s airstrikes on Pakistan following Pulwama attack in Feb. 2019 when an Indian aircraft was shot down by PAF and pilot held captive and the Galwan incident in disputed Kashmir in May 2020 in which Chinese troops beat to death scores of Indian soldiers – still Rawat was continuing to lead India’s army and there was no way to get rid of him because he had Modi’s blessings.

One fine morning in Dec. 2021, Rawat’s Mi-17 helicopter took off but never landed, because a bomb aboard the chopper exploded, killing all 14 people onboard, including Rawat and his wife. Being an avid investigator gifted with preternatural powers, I can tell the name of the murderer by looking into his eyes.

Despite being a Marathi Brahmin practicing Gandhi’s ahimsa and renouncing meat, Gen. Manoj Naravane has the penetrating eyes of a medieval assassin. Not to mention he was army chief at the time of Rawat’s sad demise, oversaw counter-insurgency ops and was familiar with assassination techniques. Anil Chauhan should also be careful while boarding aircraft, because India’s notorious aircraft have a history of “technical malfunctions” and “pilot errors” leading to fatal crashes.

Notwithstanding, last November, US prosecutors belonging to world’s most sleazy and financially corrupt plutocracy accused Indian tycoon Gautam Adani of orchestrating a $250m bribery scheme. They alleged Mr. Adani paid bribes to Indian officials to secure green-energy contracts in India worth $2bn in profits over 20 years. In the following weeks, the Adani business empire lost over $30 billion in market shares, comprising one-third of its net worth.

There were several caveats in the indictment, however. Firstly, do courts in Yankeeland exercise ICJ’s jurisdiction over entire globe? Because the alleged crime was committed by an Indian businessman, involving purported bribes paid to Indian officials employed by state-owned company of Indian gov’t.

Although exorbitant amount of “$250 trillion” was supposedly raised in the US, how did clairvoyants reading fortune cookies come to the asinine conclusion the money was being raised for paying bribes? Maybe the Indian billionaire wanted to buy a luxury yacht or an emerald-studded necklace for his wife with a couple of hundred million bucks, as Mr. Adani is renowned for his philanthropic activities of generously feeding and clothing fame-hungry and scantily clad celebs of Bollywood film industry.

Secondly, what sort of an imbecile, devoid of any sense of business, would pay $250 million in bribes merely for $100 million in profits per year? Moreover, if Mr. Adani is the largest contributor to Mr. Modi’s political party, having many federal and state ministers if not the entire Modi gov’t in his deep pockets, as claimed by Indian media, then why couldn’t he simply use the political influence to get state contracts instead of paying hundreds of millions of dollars in bribes?

In fact, there was much more to the politically motivated indictment of the substantial contributor to India’s GDP than meets the eye. In August 2022, a Qatari court handed down death sentences to eight Indian former naval officers for spying for Israel, who have since been released. Then in Sept. 2023, Canada’s former PM Trudeau, fighting for his political survival in domestic politics, publicly accused Modi gov’t for orchestrating the brazen assassination of Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

Unsurprisingly, the Biden admin followed suit and accused Indian foreign intelligence service RAW of plotting to kill another Sikh separatist leader in the US. Since then, the tussle between India and Canada has exacerbated and both countries have expelled scores of diplomats. Ideally, the Biden admin could have imposed economic sanctions on India in order to deter it from conducting black-ops on the US and Canadian soil. But it didn’t want to spoil relations with an important ally against China.

Therefore, the US has resorted to subtle tactics of arm-twisting the Modi gov’t that if it doesn’t desist from mounting subversive intelligence operations in the US and Canada, then the USG could cause irreparable damage to lucrative Indian businesses operating in the US.

Let’s hope the nuanced message has been conveyed to Mr. Modi. Otherwise, as a neocolonial power monopolizing international financial system since the Bretton Woods Accord of 1945, the US has countless lethal weapons in its formidable arsenal for conducting trade and economic warfare and coercing developing economies to toe the line.

Finally, despite trailing to Canada’s conservatives for months, Trudeau’s successor Mark Carney won elections held in March and formed minority gov’t after an alleged lunatic plowed to death 11 people at Filipino festival in Vancouver a day before elections who was initially portrayed as white supremacist.

Wearing corporate media’s glasses, however, investigative reporters didn’t notice any correlation between the massacre and Carney’s triumph who is resolutely standing up to Trumpist America, neither did anybody bother to notice deep state conspiracy disqualifying Marine Le Pen in France. We have full faith in Western political and judicial systems, and hopefully the culprit will be dealt according to law, but is a cold-blooded murderer qualified to be elected premier?
