One of my Fav Ghazals....

wo jo hum me tum me qaraar tha tumhe yad ho ki na yaad ho
wahi yaani vaada nibah ka tumhe yad ho ki na yaad ho

 wo jo lutf mujhpe tha beshtar wo karam ki tha mere hal par
mujhe sab hai yaad zara zara tumhe yad ho ya na yad ho

 wo naye gile wo shikayatein wo maze maze ki hikayatein
wo har ek baat pe ruthna tumhe yad ho ki na yad ho

 kabhi hum mein tum me bhi chaah thi kabhi humse tumse bhi raah thi
kabhi hum b tum b the aashna tumhe yad ho ki na yad ho

 suno zikr hai kayi saal ka kiya ek aapne waada tha
so nibhane ka to zikr kiya tumhe yad ho ki na yaad ho

 jise aap ginte the aashna jise aap khte the baawafa
main wahi hu momin e mubtala tumhe yad ho ki na yaad ho....

India's headless chicken syndrome

The recent death and mutilation of two Indian soldiers by the Pakistani army-backed border action team, followed by the abduction and brutal murder of Lieutenant Umar Fayaz by Pakistan-sponsored terrorists in Kashmir, has placed the Indian government on the political back foot. It is time India firms up a response to the policies of the Pakistani army. Any further continuation of the “headless chicken” syndrome as a measure of policy will only embolden Islamabad and its proxies in Kashmir and elsewhere in India.

Defence and India’s private sector

The government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has pro-actively pursued India’s agenda of modernising and indigenising its defence sector by clearing several long-pending demands of the Indian military for equipment. India’s rapidly-obsolescing military hardware has made this push imperative—the ageing of the hardware has been prominently highlighted by a string of naval accidents in the last two years and the rapidly depleting strength of the air force squadron, with the de-induction of old aircraft and delays in inducting replacements. Externally, raging border disputes with China and Pakistan, and the growing presence of the Chinese Navy in the Indian Ocean region, continue to be threats that call for an updating of the Indian defence sector. Rapidly evolving security threats in India's neighbourhood and a number of accidents means it is critical for India to invest in the modernisation as well as the indigenisation of India's rapidly obsolescing defence equipmen

If 2.6 Billion People Go To War: India vs. China

A hypothetical war between India and China would be one of the largest and most destructive conflicts in Asia. A war between the two powers would rock the Indo-Pacific region, cause thousands of casualties on both sides and take a significant toll on the global economy. Geography and demographics would play a unique role, limiting the war’s scope and ultimately the conditions of victory. India and China border one another in two distinct locations: Aksai Chin in India’s north, and Arunachal Pradesh in the country’s northeast. China has made claims on both locations, which from China’s perspective belong to the far western province of Xinjiang and China-occupied Tibet. China invaded both Aksai Chin and Arunachal Pradesh in 1962, with both sides fighting a monthlong war that resulted in minor Chinese gains on the ground. Both countries’ “No First Use” policies regarding nuclear weapons make the outbreak of nuclear war very unlikely. Both countries have such large populations, each over
