Chief of Defense Staff (CDS): Does death absolve one's willful errors?

 I am reproducing this post by a colleague from another group. Pl read through it and decide for yourself....

Quote

Treading on a bizarre thing. When Gen Bipin Rawat was alive he did lots of things that went against the fibre of Defence Forces. 

After his death someone wants youngsters to eulogise Gen Rawat as a National Hero but was he in reality ?

Read the following view received from my coursemate. Jai Ho

Fwd as recd... While the death he suffered is something which I would never wish for anyone but in most parts I agree with the inputs below of the writer.

GEN BIPIN RAWAT AS NEXT GENERATION INDIA’S NATIONAL HERO !!

It’s sad & tragic to lose Fauji Offrs & Men in accidents.. the loss is absolutely irreparable to their families.. however.. it cannot become a reason to make someone as India’s National Hero.. a Nation needs to choose its Heroes very carefully, as they represent the character & ethos of the Nation.. they serve as an inspiration for the coming generations.. a viscous & vigorous campaign is presently on to place Gen Bipin Rawat on the same pedestal as FM Manekshaw.. this is not only preposterous & outrageous but smells of a deeper conspiracy to kill the very character of Indian Armed Forces, the last edifice of India’s sovereignty..would our young generation be now told to emulate Gen Rawat, who always placed his personal ambitions and interests above National & Organisational interests.. who was ever willing to stoop to any depths for his political & bureaucratic masters.. who was despised & detested by almost everyone in Indian Armed Forces.. 

He is now being portrayed as a true Soldier & Leader..but.. in reality, his career represents  the journey of Chetwoode Credo to its grave..he joined NDA as a Cadet in Jun 74.. was relegated during training for Lack of Offr Like Qualities.. he still managed to win Sword of Honour while passing out from IMA, because his Uncle was Comdt.. managed to plot his initial Career because his Father was DCOAS..finally managed to become COAS through political machinations.. actively presided over worst ever downgradation, degradation & humiliation of Indian Armed Forces..awarded himself PVSM as COAS.. & then managed to become India’s first Secy DMA & CDS.. it didn’t matter to him that his new status as Secy was lower than COAS.. are we now planning to convey to our Citizens and Armed Forces personnel that these are the real qualities needed in a Soldier, in a Leader and in a Good Indian Citizen ?

List of his shameless conduct & betraying actions in endless.. just to quote a few.. he openly declared that India is not going to fight any war in future, specially with China.. immediately shelved raising of Strike Corps against China.. cut down allocation for infrastructure development against Chinese.. praised the lowest ever budgetary allocations for Defence since 1962.. he refused to pursue Pay Commission anomalies.. in fact, he praised the Pay Commission award and openly declared that there are no outstanding anomalies.. he openly allowed downgradation & degradation of Faujis in comparison with CAPF, in terms of status & Pay & allces.. since 2018, CAPF pers have been drawing higher rates of Risk & Hardship Allce while serving in the same areas.. he declared that NFU was not needed by Fauji Offrs.. stopped tax benefits to disabled soldiers.. pushed forward proposal for reducing disability pensions.. stopped reimbursement of educational fee of wards of our martyrs.. put forward proposal for reducing Fauji pensions.. stopped rations..stopped Hotel accn on TD.. declared that all Faujis are ‘chors’ and that Offrs exchange ‘briefcases’ in Hotels.. pushed for cuts in pay allces of Faujis to buy wpns & eqpt.. disowned Veteran Soldiers.. made the Veterans health case scheme ECHS almost defunct by depriving it of fin sp .. extended CSD facilities to even Def Civ retirees and their dependents & then starved the Fauji CSDs of funds, with payments against purchases getting deposited into Consolidated Fund of India.. allowed JCOs to be equated with Civ non Gazetted, Capts with Civ Gp B Offrs and Brigs with Civ PB3 Offrs.. allowed Civ Gp B employees to displace Fauji Offrs in their own Service HQ.. allowed mindless litigation against Faujis & Veterans.. made Appellate Justice for Faujis almost defunct by allowing dilution of AFT Act.. unconditionally opened all roads in Cantts for encroachment by vested interests.. allowed role of LMAs to be rendered irrelevant in transfer of Defence land.. gave orders for closing down of golfing facilities.. increasingly employed Fauji resources for electoral optics.. shielded corrupt, encouraged sycophancy and directly/ indirectly punished all those who actually stood for the organisation..

Do we need such National Heroes ?? Do we want our children to emulate what he stood for ?? Ask yourself !!

CBI, IB do not help judiciary at all: Supreme Court

 There is nothing breaking or astonishing in this.

This news will soon be subsumed (gulped or swallowed) by the fascist regime, by the help of the top ministers’ and lawmakers’ statements denying the allegation, trolls abusing the judges and judiciary, and mentally retarded slaves taking it as attack on Hindus and the subservient media doing the rest, indulging in fake debate on the issue, where except shouting and screaming by the participants, nothing else happens!

Not only this news, but others, where genocides have taken place, millions died due coronavirus pandemic, where the patients never received proper medical facilities, unplanned demonetization and GST implementation, lock down, millions being unemployed and starving, the Rafael and other scams (Remember Vyapam scam?), Pegasus snooping, and hundreds of other “BREAKING” news have died down their ‘natural’ deaths.

Capitalism and its various forms, whether social democracy or fascism, state or crony capitalism, is greater and much more crook than chameleon (With a difference that chameleon has natural ability to change its color, to camouflage itself, so that it can hunt its prey successfully.). Capitalism changes its mask and methods to suit the balance of power and its ‘need’ of profit and continuation of hegemony and thus it increases its longevity.
Where is the alternate to revolution? Revolution led by the proletarian class to dismantle capitalism and replace this rotten system with socialism.

(See the news, [BREAKING] CBI, IB do not help judiciary at all; Judges are threatened in cases of high profile people; CBI has done nothing: Supreme Court https://www.barandbench.com/news/litigation/judges-threatened-cbi-ib-do-not-help-judiciary-at-all-supreme-cour)

Reform of Revolution

 The process of reform is never ending, be it US, UK or India, Somalia. Reform is a process, could be in any direction, even reversing the old reforms in different names or shades.

For example, it may include establishment of workers’ colonies in close proximately (or even inside) of a coming up of a township. These workers could be skilled and unskilled ones. Transporting them from a distant habitat on daily basis would be uneconomical. Their presence is not illegal and administration, police, courts do not take cognizance of their existence, neither raise any question. They are given regular supply of electricity, water, TV, WiFi, etc. and even pay property taxes in some cases. To help them live and find means of subsistence for themselves, small shopkeepers, venders, maid servants, small scale doctors, lawyers settle there. They become part of the ‘civilized’ world and the growing townships of the establishments.

After a decade or so, when the township grows enough, the land prices rise more than 5-10 times and even 100 times, there arises ‘need’ of making mauls, PVRs, builders’ society, parks, water bodies, various institutions, beautification of the town for the growth of the country. The laws are changed to carry on ‘reforms’ for the need of the country and GDP!

These colonies become illegal, the dwellers become rogues, uncouth, uncivilized lots, even branded foreigners and terrorists, and reform evicts them by force, where judiciary, police, bureaucracy, government, builders, businessmen and financiers, banks unite!

So are the cases with building huge statues, reforming religions (new ones also come up), cultural institutions, changes in relations with other countries with changes in internal situations, market laws, labor laws, farm bills (to convert the agriculture in sync with industries), ‘mood’ of the people which changes with the mood of the political parties, who change as per the mood of the big capitalist class (both domestic and international), amendments in constitution or making a new one, changing demography, nationalization and privatization in both direction as per the need of the capital, election process, from ballot paper to EVM and back, etc. and etc.

Whole story of so called REFORM is to maximize the rate of profit (increase the surplus vale, both absolute and relative), and it has be in motion, because one or few measures get exhausted after certain time and profit rate, which has a tendency to fall to zero, starts tumbling.

However, there is resistance to this process, the reform, by the working people, against whom the reforms are initiated, their lifestyle and living standard goes down, their employment opportunity and purchasing capacity goes down, despite few exceptions for the few people, whose income increase, especially during economic boom.

Comrades and Friends, get out of the so called process of reforms, which is nothing but a capitalist class need, albeit in name of national interests and welfare of the people. Think holistically and work to bury capitalism, mother of all evils, and supersede it with socialism.

Stop opposing or favoring reformism.

Unite for revolution.

Covid and India

 Do hear the video, link is given at the end of this comment.

Every tom, dick & harry talking about the "internal" matters of India, making fun, jeering at it, its religiosity, at the 'world leader', its imbecility, inefficiency!

Where are those celebs & paid trolls who screamed in the ugliest fashion against the 'external' interferences, few weeks back, when they talked about farmers protests?

Bloody scums and pimps of capitalists and their political, bureaucratic agents!!

India has fallen into barbarism, savage era, bleeding under the fascist regime, controlled by the imbeciles, criminals!

Do not accept the present as fait accompli and rebel, rebel unitedly, for parasites and rulers free India.

Power and wealth in the hands of the people!

Economic, social & political crisis: Our task

 Social, political and economic crisis:

The death reported is at least 10 times more than the real due coronavirus pandemic, and so is the actual infected people! It is evident from the number of dead bodies at cemeteries.

The scene is beyond imagination, extremely ghastly and wonder even if an enemy army could have done such devastation that ‘own’ government did to its citizens, in pursuance of profit and serving its capitalist masters. Hitler must be congratulating his counterparts in India, who are achieving what Hitler achieved, but without using gas chambers.

They exported oxygen, essential medicines and vaccinations. The public healthcare system is completely demolished and today oxygen and other medicines are being horded and sold in black, so is with other essential products, where the government itself is part of it, see the monopolistic pricing done by it.

On the other hand, we have election rallies, Kumbh Mela, and most stupid and unscientific statements by the RW leaders and media, which includes hate mongering, jingoism, rhetoric, religiosity, casteism, national chauvinism, ignorance and superstition. The propaganda machinery of the state is at full run to dumb the people’s resistance, no, even ‘make’ them support the fascist regime.

The people’s resistance, on the other hand, does exist on a very large scale, like on farmers’ front), but disunited and on a non-revolutionary path. Even the demand of resignation of the BJP government is not being raised by the opposition.

Where is the bottom line? What is our task? At least, we must not promote class reconciliation, ideologically or in practice! For example ‘election to election’ politics promotes class reconciliation and blunts class struggle. Reason is simple, even in the present pandemic and economic recession, the class enemy is not slowing down its aim of accumulation, which in fact has accelerated, through constitutional means (liquidation of Labor Laws, 3 Farm Bills, Environmental Laws), monopoly pricing, direct plunder, surplusing a large number of workers (throwing them out of active Army of Labors to the Reserve Army of Labors, like in the category of of lumpen proletariat and paupers), that is, they are no longer the part of production and distribution system, run for & by the capitalist class, and its state.

Time is critical for us, the precariat & the proletariat, the workers in the unorganized sector (More than 90% of the total workforce in India), the advanced section of the working class (in organized sectors, which are being privatized at a very fast rate), the intellectuals who are with us and all those who can see their demise due capitalism. While we need to save ourselves from Covid-19, we need to continue our AgitProp, organizational works, education work (of the masses), pamphlets and other organs, promoting united fronts, etc.

It is not time to hide and save ourselves. Working outside today does not mean, either, to invite the deadly virus. Wear mask, maintain safe distance from others, use sanitizers and other cleaning materials, get vaccinated, and other measures to counter this virus.

Onward Comrades!

Nationalize Healthcare System

 “Let us all accept in spite of all this it was the government facilities created mainly after Independence till 1990s that is standing as our backbone in this crisis.”

In UK, USA and other advanced countries the fight between the people and the finance capital is getting severe, albeit in bursts, sometimes in form of massive rallies and protests over the health system. The National Health System (NHS) of UK is being eyed by the MNCs, and Trump, with the help of Boris Jonson wanted to usurp this massive industry/services. India is the next priority, even if not at number one, as it is one of the biggest market in the world, at par with education, insurance.

MNCs, other monopoly capitalists, financiers, petty bourgeois class, middlemen, their loyal political agents (no better than managers) lifeline is profit, without which they will lose the unending competition with the winning ‘entrepreneurs’ and will cease to even exist.

And health care system, world over is huge. The initial Coronavirus killed hundreds of thousands of people in Italy, Spain and even Brazil, UK, USA, India not because their medical services were of old era, in fact, they were very advanced but equally expensive, where the patients were objects of profit, and unable to pay the service charges & cost of medicines, bed and perished even if their governments ‘wanted’ to save them.

A line for the rabid anti socialist society rogues; nationalization is not socialism in capitalism, but an aid to the capitalist class, when it is unable to erect particular industry or sector, due lack of capital, technology and other wherewithal or save the working class to ensure steady flow of the workers to the capitalists in future, or on occasions, due tilt of balance of power in favor of the working class, in the ongoing class struggle.

“So when we demand nationalization of healthcare, pharma industry is included, to have the optimum, need based production and availability of medicines.”

And of course, as discussed in the article, for the right research works, on preventive medicine, patients, etc.

This article advocates nationalization of all the private hospitals, clinics, pharmaceuticals, etc. on “reasonable compensation”. The readers must understand, this demand is in synch with the liberals, social democrats, reformists, pseudo Lefts, etc. who are mortally scared of socialism. They perceive loss of private property (even though, they do not possess) as their loss of freedom to think!!

In building socialism, the expropriation of the capitalist class, financiers, bankers will be done as soon as possible, and WITHOUT any Compensation! And this can not be done, unless the state power is in the hands of the proletarian class, through its revolutionary party.

Politics of Election

 Despite election, of any form, in any form of ‘democratic’ set up, has been rendered absurd, from its start to the end, with or without EVMs, and during formation of government and later, when it is toppled with the mass defected “Lawmakers”, the voters, close to approximately 60% of the total voters, do take pains, come to election booths, do cast their votes, in hope of changing their future!

The story is not different in US, African, Latin American nations, where even the popularly elected governments are toppled by the CIA assisted coup-de-tat, Army take overs, like in Bolivia (Here, by the way, in re-lection, the previous (toppled) government was restored with a popular support in election), Myanmar (earlier in Chile, Burkina Faso, and dozens of others!). Presidential or other forms make no difference, and even if law is enacted to force every voters to cast their votes.

In addition, even if you have your own government, who do against what they promised you before election! And this trend is universal, at least with all the Right Wing political parties. By the way, it is not only their dishonesty in doing so and backstabbing you, but their inability to do so. To fulfill the promises of 100% employment, provide you education and health services, housing and transport facilities, give you sufficient rest and entertainment time, capitalism has to be superseded with the socialism, and which is inimical to them!

Yet, your perseverance is admirable, in having unshakable faith in election process, which is though your democratic right, but has no democratic outcomes! The existing ruling class or the exploiting class (The capitalist or the bourgeois class) is happy with your faith in all forms of ‘democratic’ process, including election, judiciary, media. Irrespective of you protests, rallies, mass movements, civil disobedience, even if they turn into violent movements, arsons, loot of ‘public’ property, they are not unduly bothered, they do not lose any sleep over the losses, as they know, their hegemony or their empire is intact.

Capitalism, may be in some different forms (social democracy to fascism) continues to exist. The losses are recovered in due time on your cost only, but if socialism is established (where they loose their state power and means of production, private property and the means as well as right/ability to hire your labor power and exploit you, usurp surplus value created by you), they will lose their empire for ever, as restoration of capitalism, like in erstwhile USSR is not a recurrent theme.

And they know it. Their think tanks, advisers, the political and bureaucratic managers know it. They work day and night, through out the year, with their intelligence, institutions and their planted (or even unplanted ones, like revisionists, opportunists, traitors of the working class) ‘leaders’ in the revolutionary parties. When required they assassinate the leaders, cadres, arrest them without provocations (happening en-mass in India, Brazil, African nations, Pakistan, Bangladesh), that is, destroy them physically. Their clouts are all over the world, in every country, in every institutions.

And the present leaders of the Communist Parties, Revolutionaries are for “Election to Election” politics, they prefer Reformist Line over Revolutionary Line, Parliamentary Path over Revolutionary Path, so are their cadres and sympathizers and the people. It is not people’s fault but that of their leaders, as the people or the Proletariat can not appreciate the need of the revolutionary changes, which will free them from the chronic want of the material needs, on their own, but need help of the revolutionary party and ideology from ‘outside’!

Before, I close this article, let us have a look at one quote,

The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and repress them in parliament: Vladimir Lenin.

All the best to you, whoever you may be! But must think once again, what you want and what are you doing! Are they on similar line, in synch?

Onward for Revolution!
