National Conference's demand for restoring posts of Wazir-e-Azam & Sadar-e-Riyasat in #Kashmir is untenable. #India came dangerously close to accepting pre-1953 in 1995 when PM Narasimha Rao said Congress was willing to concede "anything short of azadi".
#LokSabhaElections2019
Narasimha Rao's offer to restore Jammu & #Kashmir pre-1953 status was surreptitiously made from Burkina Faso. Nobody got the sinister implications of "anything short of azadi" except LK Advani who raised a storm. Rao had to retreat. One of the many reasons why Rao hated Advani.
PV Narasimha Rao is least remembered for the enormous damage he inflicted by sucking up to America and letting Robin Raphel, Pakistani agent in Clinton Administration, walk all over him. It was she who was running #Kashmir affairs in alliance with jihadi separatists.
Ironically it was during Narasimha Rao era that bureaucracy fought a grand battle for #India through its special #Kashmir cell, marshalling the case against azadi and fighting the pernicious Clinton-Raphel doctrine tooth and nail. Credit for that goes to Home Minister SB Chavan.
Also, it was during Narasimha Rao years India nearly lost a crucial #UN vote on a #Kashmir resolution at Geneva. Situation was retrieved by AB Vajpayee backed up by Salman Khurshid and, in a tangential but important manner, Manmohan Singh. Point is, Narasimha Rao was no Phantom.

Huge win for #India's scientists and technologists at DRDO. Successful anti-satellite (ASAT) missile system test. A low earth orbit satellite is targeted and destroyed. After #US, #Russia and #China, India fourth country to acquire this space capability. #MissionShakti
A quantum leap forward into the 21st century. Space is the future and #India is there. #MissionShakti is no less tectonic than #OperationShakti -- proud to be Indian.
Those asking whether #MissionShakti merited address to the nation by PM @narendramodi : Elections come and go, national achievements are forever. This is a big day for #India , a very big day.

Problem is we expect too much from the world and do too little to stand up for our national interest. #China will never allow UNSC sanctions on #Pakistan-sponsored terror groups. Nor will Beijing allow New Delhi to join NSG. Expecting China to stand by #India is outright stupid.
As a nation we have always sought shoulders to cry on and shoot from. We think we are being clever. We aren't. We are what we are: Willing to strike but mortally scared to wound. This happens when we let a circus called #Lebu Media with its #LeLi Commentariat influence policy.
Power flows from the barrel of a gun. But greater power flows from a Chinese weapon the world has come to fear. That weapon is called Economy. #India will have its way the day Indian economy has muscle and clout equalling or exceeding China's. Be ruthless in pursuing this goal.

Let's get a few things straight.
Terrorism is not an act of 'cowardice' or 'desperation'. It is an act of cold-blooded terror. Politicians who keep repeating the same hackneyed lines are basically trying to avoid responsibility by disowning failure to crush terrorism. #Pulwama 1
It would be best if politicians representing the Government and the Opposition keep quiet after terrorist attacks. Anything they say is unadulterated bakwas. Nation is tired of glycerine tears for shahid jawans and insincere promises of retaliatory action. #Pulwama 2
Jammu & Kashmir is effectively under Central rule. Today's suicide bombing resulting in horrific deaths of jawans indicates an abysmal failure of intelligence agencies. Responsibility devolves on Modi Sarkar. Bluster cannot hide this fact. #Pulwama 3

Let’s understand #Kashmir
The Partition of the Indian sub continent along religious lines led to the formation of India & Pakistan to fulfil Nehrus own Personal ambition to become 1st the PM of India.

Kashmir was never a Muslim dominated state. In the 1st millennium, Kashmir religion became an important centre of Hinduism & then Buddhism. Islamization in Kashmir took place in 13th to 15th century & led to decline of Kashmir Shaivism.

In 1339,Shah Mir became the 1st Muslim ruler empire followed by Afghan Durani. In 1819 the brave Sikhs under Ranjit Singh fought to Anglo-Sikh war forcing the britisher to intermediate. Under the treaty of Amritsar the Raja of Jammu Gulab Singh became the new ruler of Kashmir.3/N

#India's HAL designs two-in-one plane to train in peace, fight during war - Meet SPORT "Supersonic Omni Role Trainer Aircraft", basically a Tejas MK-1 "Light" stripped of high end sensors & avionics & configured as a trainer. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/hal-desi…
From cruise missiles to laser-guided bombs, antiship missiles to smart weapons & modern radars and avionic systems, a new aircraft designed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) promises a lot. The plane, for which design work is complete, doubles as a fighter trainer.
The IAF has not made any demand for it. HAL CMD R Madhavan recently said HAL no longer waits for IAF’s requirements. "We're confident of doing R&D and offering a product. We're even looking at markets outside,” he said.
