“Avant, black-browes”

By

Indian officers and troops while on UN peacekeeping mission in Congo raped women loading them with unlawful pregnancies. 12 officers and 39 soldiers are still being probed in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India, for sexually abusing the local women and for having fathered children while on UN peacekeeping mission in Congo in 2008.

“Avant, black-browes” is a phrase, which originated in Cervantes' epic Don Quixote, or at least in Thomas Shelton's 1620 translation - Cervantes Saavedra's History of Don Quixote:
"You are like what is said that the frying-pan said to the kettle, 'Avant, black-browes'." The phrase comes to mind, when Indian propaganda gimmicks blame ISI for personal misconduct. Indian Army is known for its anti social activities and libidinal waywardness. This is mainly due to their extraordinary legal empowerment and prolonged employment on internal security (IS) duties in Indian occupied Kashmir and freedom seeking units of North Easterly States of India. In order to suppress the separatist movements in India the Security Forces use torture and rape as a weapon to make an impact. The authorities intentionally overlooked the brutal methods of dishonoring females by soldiers. This encouraged the officers/troops to develop undesirable behavior with strong pulse to illegally indulge in shadowy activities to gratify their animal instinct. Resultantly Army culture went upbeat to develop illicit relations with females accepting womanizing as a social norm. Hence, the pattern of Army's misconduct is glaringly observed when Indian Army is assigned to perform duties abroad including individual officers' assignments. Indian officers and troops while on UN peacekeeping mission in Congo raped women loading them with unlawful pregnancies. 12 officers and 39 soldiers are still being probed in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India, for sexually abusing the local women and for having fathered children while on UN peacekeeping mission in Congo in 2008. UN Commission found DNA evidence of children born to Congo women, having distinct Indian features. UN authorities are putting pressure on Indian Government to investigate the issue.
It is comic that the Indian Army insinuates that Pakistani spy agency "ISI" is to be blamed for its woes. To protect a career officer of Indian Army employed as Instructor in Bangladesh Staff College but caught with his pants down with a Bangladeshi woman by some vigilant eye of camera. The plea taken by the officer appears to be good maneuvering by the accused to blame ISI and get free of self created defamation not only for India but for Bangladesh as well. Will Indian officials learn some lessons to discipline their Army having wild libido and uncontrolled animal instinct or would they keep blaming ISI? Besides the instances mentioned above, Indian armed forces officers have been caught on grounds of moral turpitude in the past too. In 2009, Commodore Sukhjinder Singh, a married naval officer who was posted in Moscow, was photographed with a Russian woman in compromising poses. The photographs made it in to the public domain but there was no suggestion they were related to a blackmail attempt. The Navy fired him earlier last year for the affair.
Indian armed forces and their spy agency RAW have indulged in smear campaigns against the ISI and Pakistan Armed Forces far too long. They have orchestrated fake counter terrorism operations, in which phony terrorists have been killed and presented to the Indian media as Pakistanis. Last year Indian Army along with their Media started another campaign to defame Pakistan’s Army and ISI by claiming that they had captured a Terrorist named as Nisar Ahmed from Jammu and Kashmir. Indian Army claimed that the “Captured Terrorist” Nisar Ahmed is From Karachi and was sent to Jammu and Kashmir along with another group, trained at Mansehra. Indian Army’s Lieutenant General SA Husnain GOC 15 Corps proudly appeared before the media with a lot of chest thumping and backslapping describing to the media how his men captured Nisar Ahmed.
In the past, Kashmiri youth, arrested on trumped up charges, have been killed in fake encounters and presented as terrorists to gain accelerated promotions and rewards. No wonder that the Indian Army Chief is demurring and dragging his feet regarding the rescinding of the draconian Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), which is a dreaded law that allows the army in Indian-administered Kashmir to shoot on the basis of mere suspicion. International groups like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, and local rights groups have repeatedly asked the Indian government to revoke the AFSPA and other draconian laws in Kashmir, such as the Public Safety Act that allows the government to hold people under "preventive custody" for two years without trial.
It would be advisable for the Indians to look inwards and check their own machinations and malpractices rather than criticizing Pakistan and ISI ala Shakespeare: "The raven chides blackness." The pot cannot keep calling the kettle black to hide its weaknesses.

Pakistan can never be Madina E Saani

By
By Nadeem Sajjad. Pakistan is a land loved by many and lived in by millions. It has been witnessed in the past --and somewhat in the present age – that the origin of the name (word) “Pakistan” has had many different accounts of its creators/inventors. Known to be the most accurate of all accounts, is the one of the much respected Chaudhry Rehmat Ali. Others have the concept that the word “Pakistan” was given to the Muslims of India, after the success of Lahore resolution in 1940, by the Hindus of the subcontinent and was then used by Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah in his presidential address to the All India Muslim League annual session at Delhi on 24 April 1943. Whatever may be the origin, the Muslims got their own land to practice their religion Islam, and to maintain their traditions. The thing that should be emphasized upon is that the country was created in the name of Islam.  Knowing the origin is one thing, but naming the country or the name itself to something els...

What about Israel’s nuclear weapons?

By
By   Patrick B. Pexton Readers periodically ask me some variation on this question: “Why does the press follow every jot and tittle of Iran’s nuclear program, but we never see any stories about Israel’s nuclear weapons capability?” It’s a fair question. Going back 10 years into Post archives, I could not find any in-depth reporting on Israeli nuclear capabilities, although national security writer  Walter Pincus  has touched on it  many times in his articles and  columns . I spoke with several experts in the nuclear and nonproliferation fields , and they say that the lack of reporting on Israel’s nuclear weapons is real — and frustrating. There are some obvious reasons for this, and others that are not so obvious. First, Israel refuses to acknowledge publicly that it has nuclear weapons. The U.S. government also officially does not acknowledge the existence of such a program. Israel’s official position, as reiterated by Aaron Sagui, spokesman fo...

Pakistani Pilots in Arab Israel War

By
45 years after the 1967 war: How the Arabs lost Jerusalem War is normally measured by its final outcome, but many individual heroes gave up their lives for the Arab side during the 1967 Six-Day War. (Image courtesy AP)   By  ALI YOUNES   SPECIAL TO AL ARABIYA This past June marked the 45th anniversary of the Arab defeat of the 1967 war. War is normally measured by its final outcome, but many individual heroes faithfully gave up their lives for the Arab side, defending the honor of their nations. The actions of those men deserve to be highlighted and explained, especially the contributions of the Pakistani pilot Saiful Azam and the brave Jordanian soldiers of the battle of Ammunition Hill in Jerusalem. At 12:48 p.m. on June 5, four Israeli jets were descending on Jordan’s Mafraq air base to smash the country’s tiny air force, shortly after the entire Egyptian air force had been reduced to rubble.  To intercept the incoming attack, ...
