Google admits mistake but several questions remain
A spokesperson for the search giant said in a statement.
"Earlier, this week, as part of routine update to Google Earth, we published new data for the Arunachal Pradesh region that changed the depiction of certain place names in the product. The change was a result of a mistake in our processing of new map data,"
Google has accepted the mistake but several questions remain
- Was the process a manual or automated process?
- Why just Arunachal Pradesh(or disputed places). Why no other place in India like say Kerala or even other place which share border with China?
- Who were the people who decided on this, one cannot be blamed for doubting the honesty/impartiality and professional integrity of this team. India has every reason to be afraid that this team can do other mischief's also.
In fact not just Arunachal Pradesh, Entire J&K, and some parts of Himachal Pradesh/Uttarakhand are shown in mischievous way
Google gifts Arunachal Pradesh to China
The map shows Arunachal’s southern boundary with Assam and northern boundary with China in broken lines, while the state’s eastern and western boundaries with Bhutan and Myanmar are shown in continuous white lines.
Google satellite maps showing areas of Arunachal Pradesh in Mandarin rather than Hindi or English, effectively making them appear as part of China. The changes were first noticed on Thursday, just hours before Friday’s crucial Sino-Indian talks over border dispute.
Meanwhile, In the backdrop of Beijing’s fresh claims on Arunachal Pradesh, the special representatives of India and China met on Friday to discuss the boundary issue, but not much forward movement is expected in the two-day talks.

Govt says no to National War Memorial
Insulting the country's martyrs has become a habit of the UPA government. After virtually spitting on the graves of those who sacrificed their lives in Kargil, the government has now shot down a proposal for National War Memorial.
The proposed war memorial to pay tribute to every soldier who has laid down his life for the country was nipped in the bud after the urban development ministry refused to allot land near the India Gate in the national capital.
The urban development ministry shot down a proposal by the ministry of defence for the memorial within the India Gate complex.
Despite deep anguish within the armed forces for the indifference shown towards its martyrs in the recent past, the urban development ministry said it cannot allot land behind the India Gate for the memorial. Statutory clearances will not be forthcoming, it said clearly.
The ministry's view is that setting up a war memorial behind the India Gate hexagon would disrupt the layout of the complex. It will interfere with the sensibility of the area.
The ministry also fears that a war memorial on the complex would make it a high-security area and therefore drive tourists away.
Same congress but ……
YSR lays foundation for Wakf mall
The complex was being built on the 3,800 sq feet of land acquired by the Board for Rs. 20 crore. Government had waived the stamp duty of Rs. 2 crore needed for its registration. The 3555 sq. feet of open land on the left side of Haj House acquired from Deccan Motors would be kept vacant for accommodating Haj pilgrims, Mr. Shabbir said.
He said the Rajashekhara Reddy government had created a history by taking back 50 acres of Dargah Hazrath Baba Sharfuddin land at Pahadi Shareef from APIIC(Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation) and handing over the same to the Wakf Board. Its present value was Rs. 350 crore. This clearly proved the minority friendly attitude of the chief minister, Mr. Shabbir said. He said the steps taken by the government for welfare of minorities was being appreciated so much so that there was demand in other States to replicate the “YSR minority model”.
Thank you congress for showing martyrs their place!!!

Political Humor
Question: How can you describe this government in three letters.
Answer: PranabManmohanSonia .
This is my copyrighted material. of course you can send this to as many
The truth Congress donot want you to know
- There have been four acts of mass casualty terrorism since 1981. All the four were carried out when the Congress (I) was in power in New Delhi.
- There have been three instances of targeted attacks on foreigners since 1991--two in J&K and one in Mumbai. All the three were carried out when the Congress (I) was in power.
- There have been seven acts of ISI-sponsored aircraft hijackings since 1971. Six of them were carried out when the Congress (I) and one when the BJP was in power.
- There has been one instance of an Air India plane being blown up in mid-air killing over 250 persons. This took place when the Congress (I) was in power.
- The LET was banned by the Musharraf government as a terrorist organization through a gazette notification on January 15,2002. The Manmohan Singh government has not been able to get the JUD banned by the Zardari government even eight months after the Mumbai attack.
- Indira Gandhi was assassinated when the Congress (I) was in power in New Delhi. Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated when an ally of the Congress (I) was in power in New Delhi and another ally in Chennai.
- The Indian Mujahideen came into existence when the Congress (I) was in power.
- The first commando-style complex terrorist attack in Indian territory by a group of terrorists, all hailing from Pakistan, has taken place when the Congress (I) is in power.
The Prime Minister used former President Ronald Reagan of the US as a prop by quoting his remark: “Trust, but verify”. Yes, he had said it. In 1986 some US soldiers were killed by an explosion in a West Berlin discotheque. The US investigators established that the terrorists had come from Libya. After verification, he ordered the US Air Force to bomb the training centre in Libya.
Indian investigators have clearly verified and established that the terrorists who attacked Mumbai were trained in the POK.
Will the Prime Minister emulate Reagan?

The mysterious Balochistan dossier
The mystery surrounding Balochistan dossier detailing the evidence of an alleged Indian involvement in the Balochistan insurgency just got murkier! I personally think there is more to it than government is admitting.
Lets analyze the sequence of events -
- For first time ever Balochistan finds a mention in Indo Pak joint statement. Till this date, Balochistan had never been mentioned in any talks. It was also mentioned in such a way as if India has some role to play in the problems in Baloch. The statement read -
“Pakistan has some information on threats in Balochistan and other areas.”
-
Back Home Pakistan started claiming that they have handed over a dossier to India which India vehemently denied. They also claimed that Pakistan has shared these evidences with the United States and Afghanistan
-
If we read point 1 & 2 together, how do India know that Pakistan has some information? Has Pakistan show/shared this info?my gut feeling is yes Pakistan has shared some information otherwise how would India agree to put it in joint statement!
-
The Prime Minister yesterday claimed that , "No dossier on Balochistan has been handed over to me. But was any dossier(or information detailing India's alleged involvement) handed over to GOI?
- US Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan Richard Holbrooke has now said that Pakistani leaders brought up the issue of India's alleged involvement in Balochistan. He said
"I would be misleading, if I said it didn't come up,"
-
Richard Holbrooke statement is in line with what Dawn claimed. However, Richard Holbrooke also said that Pakistan did not give any credible evidence to support their claim. He said:
"The narrow answer to your question is no."
However, he did not elaborate any further.

India-ASEAN trade pact: Final knockout punch for Kerala Industries
Cabinet has given its consent for the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with Asean in spite of the objection from its own MP’s.
Manmohan Singh said,
"A free trade agreement with Asean is an international political commitment and is also part of the Look East Policy."
When the agreement is implemented, the present 70 percent import duty on pepper will come down by 2 percent every year. Likewise, the import duty on tea and coffee, which is now 80 percent, would come down to 45 percent and that on rubber would come down to 50 percent after 10 years. The FTA will also eliminate import tariffs on around 4,000 items.
This would spell doom for Kerala’s pepper, tea, coffee, spices and rubber as markets will be flooded with cheaper imports from other countries.
Thankyou PM for killing last of Kerala Industries and also thankyou to 15 odd congress MP’s which Kerala elected this Lok Sabha elections

Under Congress India continues to live in Unreal world!
Soon after Independence, the first commander-in-chief of the Indian armed forces, General Sir Robert Lockhart, presented a paper outlining a plan for the growth of the Indian Army to Prime Minister Nehru. Nehru’s reply:
‘We don’t need a defence plan. Our policy is non-violence. We foresee no military threats. You can scrap the army. The police are good enough to meet our security needs.’
Nehru didn’t waste much time. On September 16, 1947, he directed that the army’s then strength of 280,000 be brought down to 150,000. Even in fiscal 1950-51, when the Chinese threat had begun to loom large on the horizon, 50,000 army personnel were sent home as per his original plan to disband the armed forces.
He realized his folly (a bit too late) after the debacle of china war. In 1963, he said in Rajya Sabha
"I remember many a time when our senior generals came to us, and wrote to the defence ministry saying that they wanted certain things... If we had had foresight, known exactly what would happen, we would have done something else... what India has learnt from the Chinese invasion is that in the world of today there is no place for weak nations... We have been living in an unreal world of our own creation."
Unfortunately, even then he refused to personally take responsibility of the debacle, he took umbrage behind the collective decision (he used we instead of i)
Musharraf Bullshits… and gets away with it….
"Yes, indeed, it was a big success because it had (an) impact even on the attitudes of the Indian side. How did we start discussing the Kashmir dispute? How was it that the Indians agreed that we will discuss Kashmir and there must be a negotiated settlement? Before this there was no such thing at all,"
I wonder how can Musharraf forget “Lahore Declaration” signed on 21st February 1999 in the presence of Prime Minister of India, Mr. Atal Behari Vajpayee, and Prime Minister of Pakistan. I guess he was too busy planning his next Machiavellian plot.
Pakistan would have been saved from the humiliation of their second military defeat, If only he had read the text of the Declaration which would have read , it would have read
Recalling their agreement of 23rd September, 1998, that an environment of peace and security is in the supreme national interest of both sides and that the resolution of all outstanding issues, including Jammu and Kashmir, is essential for this purpose;
Have agreed that their respective Governments:
• shall intensify their efforts to resolve all issues, including the issue of Jammu and Kashmir.
