[1] From: Sukla Sen <suklasen@yahoo.com> Date: Sat Aug 19, 2006 Subject: Indian Left Caught in a Cleft Stick: Oppose India's Nuclear Weaponisation but Uphold Its Strategic Interests (i.e. Nuclear Weapons)! [There's, however, a subtle shift in gear, which needs be welcomed. For one, there is the renewed declaration opposing "India’s nuclear weapons programme". Never mind the appreciation for "the eight high priests of the Indian nuclear establishment who have built India’s nuclear [weapons] capabilities, defying and overcoming US-led sanctions in the past" and the overwhelming concern that "India [must] not compromise its strategic interests". More importantly, its earlier well-publicised move to coordinate its opposition to the 'deal' with the 'Hindu' nationalist BJP is given a quiet burial without, however, any word of explanation whatever. There is also some welcome reservation expressed as regards nuclear power though mainly in the limited context of promoting the Indo-Iranian gas deal. There is no talk of developing environmentally benign renewable sources of energy whatever.] http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/181_1770191,00120001.htm Wheeling dealing LEFT HAND DRIVE | Sitaram Yechury August 17, 2006 ------------- [2] From: Sukla Sen <suklasen@yahoo.com> Date: Sat Aug 19, 2006 Subject: Indo-US Nuke 'Deal': An Update http://www.carnegieendowment.org/publications/index.cfm?fa=print&id=18627 Update: Indian Questioning of US-India Nuclear Deal By Anirudh Suri -------------------- [3] From: kalyan panda <kalyan_panda@yahoo.co.in> Date: Sat Aug 19, 2006 Subject: Re: Ban on Arab Channels All channels, irrespective of country/language, that did not take downlink permission from the Indian Government, are illegal to redistribute.

The documentary — based on reports of the Task Force for Border Management, Centre for Policy Studies, Chennai and former Asom Governor Lt Gen (retd) SK Sinha’s sensational report to the President of India — highlighted the threat to security, demography and integrity of Asom, West Bengal and Tripura due to infiltration from Bangladesh. The documentary also included reports of former Intelligence Bureau chief TV Rajeswar and writings of journalist and BJP leader Arun Shourie. According to the documentary, demographic invasion of Asom by Bangladeshis is at an advanced state. “Bangladeshis are the deciding factors in as many as 41 of the 126 LACs in Asom,” the documentary said, and added: “A conspiracy has been hatched by the ISI and fundamentalists of Bangladesh to carve out an Islamic country comprising Asom, Tripura and parts of Bihar and West Bengal.” It said that Bangladeshi fundamentalists had direct link with the al Qaeda which was providing them arms and arms training. “About 20,000 youths from the North-east India and 3,000 youths from Bangladesh were given arms training on jehadi movement. The trained youths have suicide squads also,” the documentary added. According to the documentary, Siliguri corridor is the most preferred entry points for Bangladeshi infiltrators since they can hide in Nepal, which is 24 km from there, in the event of strict vigil by the BSF. The unfenced Bangladesh-Asom border and the number of Muslim-dominated districts in Asom have also been shown on the screen. According to statistics on Bangladeshi infiltrators given in the documentary, West Bengal has the highest number of Bangladeshis (79 lakhs), followed by Asom (50 lakhs), Bihar (4.7 lakhs) and Tripura (3.75 lakhs). The documentary further said that Bangladeshis were the deciding factors in 32 per cent (41 LACs) of the 126 LACs in Asom. Besides live interviews of personalities like All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) advisor Samujjal Bhattacharya, journalist Dhirendranath Chakravarty and other regional and national leaders, the documentary also included live confessional statements of Bangladeshi infiltrators on matters like where they came from and how. The documentary suggested total sealing of the border along Bangladesh, minimising the distance between border outposts, intensifying the process of detection and deportation of Bangladeshis etc, so as to get rid of the menace. --------------- |
