hi,
Yesterday i was in a lecture organized by EML (Extra Mural Lecture) team iit madras. It was delivered by "combat veteran" Major General Gangandeep Bakshi. For those who don't know about his legacy please try to find out (It's more fun having knowledge than spiting shit about some war hero). Let me tell you something….
"His elder brother, Raman Bakshi, an Indian Army officer, was killed in action during his service to the country in the 1965 India-Pakistan War. Soon after graduation from college, He joined the National Defence Academy in June 1967 (a year and a half after his elder brother was killed in action). Quite soon after graduating from the Indian Military Academy on 14 November 1971, Bakshi was called into action at the outbreak of hostilities in the Indo-Pakistani War of...

Dear Mr. Prime Minister
Twenty years of a cataclysmic nation and no rest, no rest of the bullets, shattering the wombs of the mothers, who carried their babies for nine long months, to grow them into a human with a soul of an angel, these mothers’ young angels have died, died of the despair of their being, and yet remains there status unknown, are they the martyrs, militants or the angels of their mothers? The mystery remains, for there are too many opinions being imposed over the same.
I, so well remember the quote by the Mahatma Gandhi, (father of the Indian nation) “When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it...

Your Excellency Sir, though I love writing letters, I am not good at the formal ones. So I will try to make this semi-formal to be able to communicate well in order that I may be understood, if not by all then at least by most Nigerians.
I heard that the intended project on film village in Kano wasn’t successful, fortunate enough for the Kano people and unfortunate for the over-exited film stars. I’m writing this letter to tell you why it isn’t the right time and place to establish a film village.
First of all, the city of Kano to start with, is practically the seat of Islam in Nigeria if I’m not over-exaggerating, and yes, Kano is still a conservative society. It refuses to be civilized because majority of its inhabitants are more or less fanatics of Islam and it better remain so. If...

Happy birthday Mr President
The original letter to President Obama was e mailed to the White House on August 4th.
Dear Mr President,
For your birthday, CAFÉ FOR CHANGE has created together with ItiMa, The Itinerant Museum of Art, a special Barack For Change mug with artwork by Daniel Völker. We hope you like it. Daniel used 3,600 US postage stamps.
We wish you a happy birthday, and we hope that you and Mrs Obama can help coffee, tea and chocolate lovers end poverty and create a middle class in the rural communities that produce coffee, chai and cacao. It is easy, if WeShare at least 10CentsPerCup with them.
WeShare is our plan for a transparent shared value system that can align consumers in developed nations with compensation of at least 10CentsPerCup going to the...

Dear South Africans
Re: Millennium Apartheid, proudly brought to you by Democratic Alliance.
Immediately after after elections a new hashtag surfaced on social media and started trending, it said #IfDAwins. Many thought the apartheid government will come back and it will be the same as that of Verwoed. I'm of the view that won't happen, however we will see a new form of apartheid government know as millennium apartheid which won't use guns and teargas to undermine the black people, but will use the gapes in our constitution to make sure that blacks are undermined.
DA will ensure that the rich becomes richer and the poor becomes poorer. They would do that by continuously defending the unfair economic advantage enjoyed by the minority. Any law aiming to undo the dirty work of...

Little is remembered of our nation's history, even less is being taught in our schools. When the white people wanted to eliminate the American Indians, the first thing they did was to wage all-out genocide against them. The U.S. Army then got involved and used lawyers to convince the Indians to first give up their arms, then their lands, then their culture. This may be an oversimplification but the details are too painful for me to elaborate on. I have noticed that the white man is now using this tried and true method on Black Americans today. The democratic party started with the creation of the KKK to keep the slaves in their proper places or eliminate them forcibly. When that was insufficient to the task, the Abortion League(aka Planned Parenthood) was created to keep the genocide...

Mr. Khan, you are wrong.
Let me educate you about America and about Donald Trump. You seem to know nothing but what is said in the lying media. Are you that naive?
If you had read the constitution like you claim, You would know that the President is duty bound to protect America from all enemies, foreign or domestic. This includes the ISIS killers who are actively trying to compromise our immigration systems. This includes the cartel members, drug runners, and human traffickers who today walk freely across our southern border. In all these respects, President Obama has been derelict of duty and a complete failure. Have you never talked to the families of the immigration enforcement officers who have been killed in the violence? Have you never talked to the families of Kate Steinle...

Open letter to Presidential nominee Donald J. Trump
Dear Mr. Trump:
Please, please, please stop taking the BAIT from HRC. If you were big game and I was a big game hunter you would be bagged and on my wall as a trophy. That is exactly what’s going on here. You are the big game being the Presidential nominee in opposition to Hillary Clinton. She and her minions know just how to get your goat and rage you onward. Please don’t rage.
So let’s consider this.
First, you should know that I am one of 13 million Americans across this great land who are a part of your constituency. I am fed up with the government elite from either party and HRC is the epitome of the elite. Big difference is that you are driven by values and not ideology. But remember that this is not your election...

Mr. Kahn
You left many believing that sacrificing a son is the only sacrifice worth talking about. Make no mistake your son was a hero. A brave soul who chose to become a part of the greatest Army in the world and he was sent into harm's way. He alone, as a leader, decided to risk his life for his fellow soldiers. As a high ranking captain he could of made a tough call and ordered a subordinate to inspect that car and they would have done it without question. He was a true leader and a hero, there is no question about that.
Please know that sacrifice comes in all different shapes and forms, and comparing pretty much all sacrifices to your son's, is not even measurable. Your son made the ultimate sacrifice and died for his men and country.
However, to use your son'...
