Kailash Mountain


After the Indo-China War of 1962, the relationship between India & China had worsened. No person worked on re-building the relation with Chinese. Chinese had blocked the Kailash Manasarovar and no Indians were allowed to visit for almost 15 years, till the Janata Party Govt. came up in the Centre in 1977 defeating Mrs. Indira Gandhi, who had declared the Emergency during 1975-76.


But there was one man who had frequent visits to Chinese Embassy and was thinking to build the Indo-China relations. He was mastered in speaking Mandarin (Chinese language) with correct accent, He has well-depth knowledge on Chinese Economy, who's PhD thesis at Harvard titled "Economic Growth and Income Distribution in a Developing Nation" included study of China & Chinese Economy and has worked with 2 noble laurates in Economic field Paul A. Samuelson and Simon Kuznets. He is none other than 𝐃đĢ 𝐒𝐮𝐛đĢ𝐚đĻ𝐚𝐧đĸ𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐰𝐚đĻ𝐲.


Dr. Subramanian Swamy


While the Janata Party Government was formed in 1977 in the immediate elections conducted after the Emergency of 1975-76, Morarji Desai had become PM. Even though initially Dr Swamy was said to be given Ministerial berth, but was blocked by AB Vajpayee due to his jealousy towards Dr Swamy’s growing popularity since his heroic act during the emergency.


But Dr Swamy who had constant touch with Chinese Embassy got invitation to visit China as soon as Janata Party Government was formed. Vajpayee who was the Minister of External Affairs in the cabinet of Morarji Desai, even had objected on this visit of Dr Swamy. But Morarji Desai insisted Dr Swamy to go first, and provided every facility & backup from the Indian Embassy in China. In September 1978, as an envoy of PM Morarji Desai, Dr Swamy visited China on invitation of the prestigious Chinese People’s Institute of Foreign affairs, where he met senior leader Ji Pengfei, this was the first contact between the both countries after 1962 war, which laid stone for building Indo-China relations. From this meeting Dr Swamy started questioning on reopening of Kailash Manasarovar.

The Janata Party couldn’t continue to govern for more than 2 years since getting into power due to internal clashes, which resulted the then PM Morarji Desai to resign, Charan Singh had become PM with support of Mrs Gandhi, which she withdrew after few weeks and in the general elections she came back to power in 1980. But this did not create any hurdles for building the Indo-China relationship. 


During this period in 1981, Dr Subramanian Swamy was called by the Chinese for the 3rd time after 1978, this time the invitation was from China’s Supreme Leader, Chairman Deng Xiaoping. In this meeting Dr Swamy discusses on various International topics, border issues & on how deal with the same. In the same meeting he asks Chairman Deng to reopen the Kailash Manasarovar route for Hindu Pilgrims, which is a Holy site for Hindus. But Chairman Deng Xiaoping do not understand the name Dr Swamy quoted, so he confirms the Chinese official name of Kailash Manasarovar and accepts to reopen on the condition that Dr Swamy himself should travel there as a first pilgrim.


Even though Dr Subramanian Swamy was in opposition during Mrs. Indira Gandhi Government, he was successful in opening the Kailash Manasarovar. After this meeting official talks between India & China took place when Chinese Minister arrived India. Indian Ministers & Officials present in the official meet were surprised to hear the Chinese Minister insisting in an official meeting that Dr Swamy should be included in the first batch of pilgrims to the Kailash Manasarovar after reopening.

RAM SETU – The betrayal by BJP Govt, then by Mr Vajpayee and now by Mr Modi

Image
Many Hindus are unaware of the betrayal done to their Hindu faith and beliefs by the Vajpayee Govt and Modi Govt on the issue of Ram Setu then and now. The promise made to Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) Party by the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and his decision almost blew up the Ram Setu. To get an accurate idea let's dig up some untold facts. Geography of South India To the south of India, there is the Indian Ocean, the Bay of Bengal at the east and the Arabian Sea at the west. India’s coast has no continuous navigation channel connecting the west and east coasts. This is due to the presence of a shallow region of Ram Setu, located southeast of Rameswaram near Pamban that joined Sri Lanka to the continent of Asia, which separates the Gulf of Mannar and Palk Bay. The ships coming from the west coast of India or from western countries with destinations east coast of India or eastern neighbourhood countries of India, it has to circumnavigate Sri Lanka. It cannot directl...

Morale Builder during The Emergency of 1975 – Dr Subramanian Swamy

Image
  It completes 46 years from the date of declaration of the Emergency in 1975 by Mrs. Indira Gandhi, the then PM of India. At this juncture it’s important to remember some heroic actions of one man who did not lose hope in retrieving the suspended Democracy. Almost everybody had lost the hope of getting the Democracy back in India, but some brave hearts had fought back it with great courage. One such Brave heart was Dr Subramanian Swamy.   Even though the reason for declaration of Emergency was stated as “to control Internal Disturbances and the threats to India”, the actual reason stands out different. There were several instances which made the then PM Mrs. Gandhi to be insecure of her position. Initially started with “Navnirman Movement” during December 1973, as a protest against school fees hike and grew up to dismissal of State government Assembly due to the Corruption in Gujarat. Mrs. Gandhi who had refused to dismiss the State Govt. for its corruption charges, was f...
