Our new Iraq mission: An appeal to reason or a moralising swipe at our allies?

politics
In announcing Canada's new policy Prime Minister Trudeau has argued for "reason" in the war against ISIL. He forgets that the world couldn't reason with Hitler and Mussolini. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and his beheaders are beyond reason. Hitler took over an existing state and wreaked havoc on the world. Abu...

Are we becoming numb & mere spectators to terror?

politics
The world's reaction to lifeless Alan Kurdi lying face down on the Turkish coast pricked the conscience of a world increasingly indifferent to the plight of the 'other'. The refugees fleeing Assad and ISIS who hadn't entered the consciousness of the world suddenly catapulted into the headlines. Overnight most in...

Europe's fast shrinking welcome mat for refugees!

politics
The welcome mat initially rolled out by Chancellor Angela Merkel for the Iraqi and Syrian refugees has suddenly shrunk. Like most observers I too had understood the Chancellor to provide a permanent refuge for those fleeing violence at the hands of the Syrian dictator Assad, ISIS and others. In the...

Four questions for PM Trudeau as Parliament resumes!

politics
For close to three years I have been writing blogs at ujjaldosanjh.org critical of many things including Mr Trudeau and the Liberal Party since before the last election that I am happy he won. I had written pieces critical of Mr Harper when he was the Prime Minister. I remember...

Anaemic on Jihadi terror 'Canada is back'!

politics
In the week that Canada lost seven Canadians to Jihadi terrorists' war on all civilization we watched the inevitable consequence of our dithering on the Iraq  bombing mission. Canada was ignored, not counted in, by those that are playing a significant role in the mission against ISIS. Canada was left...

Mr Trudeau, cancel the arms deal with Saudi Arabia - the font of terror!

politics
The inking of the arms deal with Saudi Arabia by Harper government was a triumph of realpolitik over Canada's international human rights obligations. Saudi Arabia has one of the worst human rights records in the world. It has just beheaded 47 people including a peaceful activist Shiite Cleric. The deal...

The silencing of the white men of the West!

politics
Sadly, political correctness afflicts much of the world; in particular the Western world. At its inception in the counterculture of the sixties and beyond it was a force for good. It moved us to examine our hatreds, prejudices, values and words. It reminded the British and the French that their...

A fair, just, egalitarian and inclusive Canada will not long survive ghettos!

politics
Something disturbing is afoot in the land of my children and grandchildren- the country we proudly call our home and native land - Canada.

Sonia Gandhi! If not afraid of anybody, why did your MPs shut down Parliament?

politics
For me the details of the National Herald case are immaterial. Subramanian Swamy as a private citizen launched this case when UPA still ruled at the center. Sonia Gandhi can allege publicly or privately and it may be true that Swamy on his own or indirectly at the BJP's behest...

COP21: A Cop Out?

COP21: A Cop Out! Note: I just deleted the couple of "F" words to sanitize and civilize the discussion. It was improper for me to use them. Raining on anyone's parade for the signing of 'balanced' and 'ambitious' COP21 is not my intent. But self deception can be deadly and...

If bombing ISIS is right, why is it wrong for Canada?

politics
The most difficult question the leader of a nation ever has to contend with is whether to take his/her country to war or to keep it in one that may already be raging such as the one against ISIS. That is why I was disappointed in the throne speech not...

Silence or near silence on intolerance ill behooves India's Prime Minister!

The intolerance being felt in the country is a serious threat to the idea of India. So is Prime Minister Modi's silence or near silence about it. Recently my mind focussed on what it meant to be Indian- above and beyond the intolerance debate - when in answering a question...
