Mourn him, Bharat! Driver Vijay Kumar of the bus with pilgrims which came under terror attack in Reasi, Jammu & Kashmir. It was because the bus fell into a gorge that many people were only injured and their life was saved. Otherwise terrorists would’ve entered bus and killed all.
Every Brit should see this and feel ashamed for the rest of their lives.

Krishnajanambhoomi-shahi idgah mosque has been declared to be a monument of national importance therefore as per places of worship act,1991 itself it will not apply in this case.
With only a day left for #RamJanmbhoomiMandir opening, you may like to read my series of ground reports from Ayodhya about the temple struggle since 1850s
I spent a good two weeks in Ayodhya to understand the movement
Below is a thread of all my reports with context 👇
How did they do it?
Operational Security: The media is wrong on calling the Hamas attack as a surprise. Hamas existed next door & next to the border fence. Hamas wasn’t in state of ceasefire with Israel. You can’t expect your enemy to pose like you or act like you. You lose when you expect the enemy to be like you. You win when you try to read his mind and think from his position. Other methods are just naivete and reinforcement of the comfort zone of the commanders. Seemingly Hamas exercised an unimaginable level of operational security. This level of operational security must have involved absolutely no use of electronics & ensuring vetting & security clearance of every single human being involved in the execution of the operation. One mistake could compromise the whole. One mole could lead to annihilation of the majority and abortion of the plan for revision at a very high cost.
Operational Silence: Hours prior to the attack either Hamas used encrypted devices or conducted silence above the norms and standards of the conventional special forces. They failed every Artificial Intelligence and electronic devices in the disposal of the IDF & Israeli intelligence services. If their communication devices devices have encryption, then the designers must have known the capabilities of the Israeli interception. A lot of work for fact finding commission – later on.
Maneuverability: There must have been a side scheme and a parallel plan of operation, an expendable one to keep the Israeli intelligence services glued to it. The expendable plan could not be fake either. Perhaps they had included all elements and factors necessary to make the expendable plan sound too interesting and too real for Israel. From an operational point of view, the operators of the expendable plan themselves must have thought it was real. You can’t say to a person that you are just a duck in the backyard. He must believe the mission. So, the expendable plan seems to have been used as diversion to shield and smoke screen the real one. Probably IDF is bombing all the points of the expendable plan which must have been aborted anyway. Is Hamas still hiding there? Esay to say NO.
Deception: The people in power, including NSA of the US Mr. Jack Sulivan, just a week ago were saying that the Middle East couldn’t be more stable compared to the last 100 years. “Appear weak when you are strong”. This all-time applicable and relevant principle of Sun Tzu seems to have been applied in its perfect form.
Clarification about my views:
I am not an expert or anything close to being an analyst on Middle East issues. I and we are victims of Pakistan backed terrorism & interference in my country for decades. Afghanistan has suffered beyond imagination & in there I have lost nearly 100 of my personal guards, colleagues and family members in attacks by the Taliban & allies planned and supported in Pakistan in the last two decades alone. Methods & principles of operations however could be the same. Sometimes methods of one group can be a template for another. The above is my observation. Also, from experience of interacting with the external intelligence services I can easily guess these methods are copied from classes & operational rooms of the Western countries. Too much google is risky.

Even if one girl gets converted to join ISIS then also it's a serious concern for national security.

I don’t usually comment on tweets. But this one truly shocked me! I’ve been teaching Microfinance for 19 years in India where:
1) Average loan size is <Rs50K
2) There are ~6 Cr unique borrowers
3) Today the MFIN loan portfolio is approx 3L Cr…
…this was our finance minister 🤦🏻♀️
