Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

An Indian Summer ?



We have heard about the " Arab Spring " , under which , over the past 3 years,



>  Libyans overthrew Muammar Gaddafi


>  People of Iraq ousted Saddam Hussein


>  Tunisians threw out Ben Ali


>  Yemenese exiled Ali Abdullah Saleh



No doubt , with overt - and covert - help from the Western Powers


But the most important factor was that , in all of these cases , entire population was united in fighting a single , common enemy - their Dictator


Now turn to ,



>  Syria


    where a number of rebel factions are fighting each other for last 2 years , even as they struggle to get rid of dictator Assad ( - who is having fun , since the Western World cannot make up its mind , which rebel faction it ought to support  !  )




>  Egypt


    where pro-Mubarak and anti-Mubarak ( or Muslim Brotherhood and its opponents ) are fighting each other , while their military Chief Sisi announces his candidature for President's position !


A Dictator disguised as a Democrat  ?  You bet  !


Obviously , Egyptian military rulers are having the last laugh  !




Neither in Syria , nor in Egypt , Arab Spring is succeeding , due to the infighting of those opposed to Assad and Mubarak


That reminded me of the ( in ) fighting that broke out last evening between BJP supporters and Aam Aadmi Party workers in Delhi , Lucknow , Allahabad and Bhopal


Have they forgotten , WHO is the real ENEMY of the People of India  ?


Fortunately , India being a democracy ruled by corrupt politicians of our own choosing ( in 2009 ) , no foreign power is expected to intervene


But the Congress leaders  must be laughing with unabashed joy  !
