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?
