MOVIE TE3N REVEALS MY TIBET CONNECTION

**TE3N Movie Reviews my Tibet Connection by grouping together four photo images. Pakistan surrenders in Dhaka on December 16, 1971.**

TE3N Movie Producer Sujoy Ghosh and Director Ribhu Das Gupta imaginatively created a screenshot grouping four different photo images to describe my Tibet Connection; These are,

1. Surrender Agreement signed in Dhaka on December 16, 1971 leading to creation of independent nation of Bangladesh,

Lieutenant General Dalbir Singh AVSM VSM, General Officer-in-Command, Eastern Command of Indian Army had served as the Inspector General of Special Frontier Force prior to his promotion to the rank of Lieutenant General. He served in the rank of Brigadier during the 1971 War but Movie TE3N chose this photo image.

2. Lieutenant General Dalbir Singh Suhag, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Headquarters Eastern Command, Kolkata, who actually participated in the 1971 War while serving in the rank of Brigadier,

3. My Indian Army Picture ID photo image of 1972 taken in Doom Dooma while I was posted to D Sector, Establishment 22 after the 1971 War, and

Lieutenant General T S Oberoi, the Southern Army Commander during 1983, the former Inspector General of Special Frontier Force is seen in this photo wearing a helmet. The photo was taken during 1982 while he visited Army Service Corps Centre, Bangalore. In reality, he served as my Brigade Commander during the 1971 War.

4. Lieutenant General Thirath Singh Oberoi PVSM VrC, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Headquarters Southern Command Pune while he visited Army Service Corps Centre in Bangalore in 1982. In reality, T S Oberoi served in the rank of Brigadier during the 1971 War.

Photo images 2, 3, and 4 are related for they relate to our military service at Special Frontier Force, Establishment 22 now known as Vikas Regiment. In November 1971, Special Frontier Force initiated Liberation of Bangladesh with military action in the Chittagong Hill Tracts and so, these images relate to the photo image of the Surrender Agreement signed in Dhaka on December 16, 1971.

Beijing is Doomed – Revelation Unsealed

I kept silent about my participation in Operation Eagle, Bangladesh Ops for a very long time and none of you heard that word from me until 2010 when I started my demand for gallantry award after His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s visit to Ann Arbor, Michigan on March 03/04, 2008. I did not invite him to visit Ann Arbor, and I had no time to meet him. I read news media coverage, particularly the story published by The Ann Arbor News of this event. Prior to this date, I did not speak or write about him. I realized that the time has come to describe my Tibet Connection. If I had really cared about getting Gallantry Award, I would have reacted in January 1972 when my Unit Commander informed me that the Indian Army Medical Directorate did not forward my gallantry award citation on time to Army Headquarters, MS Branch. The citation was not lost. It was not sent in time for its consideration. I raised the issue in 2010, for it is important to disclose my Tibet Connection.

I want to receive Gallantry Award recommended in 1971 War. However, it is not an acknowledgment of my service in Indian Army. The award was recommended by my Unit Commander who knew that I deliberately chose to enter Enemy territory without carrying my service weapon. Under Army Act, the refusal to carry personal weapon, the concealing or disposal of personal weapon, or not using weapon against Enemy are punishable offenses. My Unit (South Column, Op Eagle, Establishment 22 – Special Frontier Force) is not subject to Army Act. They have not threatened to discipline me. Rather, they have shown appreciation for my determination to work without my personal weapon. I made that decision because of my Tibet Connection.

While most of you may have read about speeches or quotes from speeches given by the Dalai Lama, may not be knowing about an assurance the Dalai Lama has given to his followers. Dalai Lama lives on the hope that China’s Communist Regime would experience sudden downfall. Many in the Tibetan Exile community share this hope as they believe or have faith in his words. I acknowledge my Tibet Connection, but I am not follower of the Dalai Lama. So, I had to investigate his statement and subject it to my rational analysis, a scientific method which I call Devotional Inquiry. I use the term Devotion not in the context of any kind of worship service or prayerful thought. I don’t look inwards. I look for answers examining the reality of external world.

For example, many Christians believe in the Future Coming of Christ or Advent. This hope comes from The New Testament Book of Revelation. Over 2,000 years have passed, many believers lived and died and yet the prophecy has not come true. I looked at various possibilities to account for Dalai Lama’s hope for the sudden, unexpected downfall of China. He has not shared or further explained the mechanism to trigger a sudden downfall of Communist China. World War II came to an abrupt stop when US bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Japan surrendered in August 1945. I ruled out the possibility of China surrendering in World War III. Regimes have changed after public revolts like American Revolution, French Revolution, Red Revolution, and October Revolution of China. In fact, Tibet formally declared Full Independence on February 13, 1913 after the downfall of Manchu China following 1911 Revolution. We have seen some protests in China during 1989, protests in Hong Kong, and signs of severe labor unrest in China. But, I am not expecting a Great Proletarian Revolution to cause China’s downfall. If not political unrest, I considered the possibility of economic meltdown and severe or Great Depression. It is a good possibility as their Communist – Capitalist Economy will fail and is currently failing.

Historically, we have records of great empires rising and falling. People have given a variety of reasons to account for rise and fall of empires. Diseases like Malaria may account for fall of Roman Empire. Apart from health and sickness, people have cultural beliefs. Jews may believe in Messiah, Christians believe in the Kingdom of Heaven, Buddhists believe in Reincarnation of Compassionate Buddha (Maitreya), and Hindus may believe in Reincarnation of Lord Vishnu to change World Order to restore Peace and Justice.

Being student of Biology, I looked at Natural Causes and Natural Mechanisms that can significantly impact life on Earth. Natural calamities like floods, earthquakes, and hurricanes can have devastating effect. But, most major and minor mass extinction events have extraterrestrial causes such as Radiation or impact or collision by celestial objects like comets or asteroids. Planet Earth experienced several such collision events. At K-T Junction, about 65 million years ago, the entire Dinosaur population got wiped out while Life on Earth continued to multiply. In most recent times, during Geological Epoch called Holocene, entire species of Hominin Family got wiped out with the exception of Anatomically Modern Man leaving no surviving prehistoric man such as Neanderthal, Denisova, or Cro-Magnon. But, in terms of Science, these are all random, unguided events that can be interpreted as accidents and are not purposeful actions.

I account for human life as series of guided, goal-oriented, sequential, purposeful actions which demand synchronization with events in external environment such as periods of light and darkness, and Conservation of Mass, Energy, and Momentum. While planet Earth is spinning at great speed and is moving all the time, I sleep and get up in Ann Arbor as if Earth is a stationary object. I am not predicting a random, spontaneous event or natural calamity that may cause sudden downfall of China.

I looked at Book of Revelation written by Prophet John who most Christian theologians think of as Apostle John, one of Jesus Christ’s Twelve Disciples. Apparently, he wrote this Book while imprisoned in a small island far away from Babylon. But, that is not important. Historical Babylonian Empire had fallen several centuries before birth of Jesus Christ. There was no Evil Babylon when John wrote his Revelation Prophecy. Babylon is thought of a ‘code’ name for some unknown Evil Empire. Some think, that the term ‘Evil Empire’ or ‘Babylon’ may refer to Rome or even China in the East which was not a great empire at the time of writing that Book.

Chapter 18, Book of Revelation, that describes sudden downfall of Babylon was inspired by The Old Testament Book of Isaiah, a Hebrew Prophet. His prophecy came true when Persian Emperor Cyrus defeated and vanquished Babylon and graciously permitted rebuilding of Second Temple in Jerusalem long before the birth of Jesus Christ. So John has no reason to make prophecy about Babylon while he lived during the lifetime of Jesus and His Crucifixion.

I accept the scenario described in Chapter 18, Book of Revelation. I am not claiming a new prophetic vision. I am simply unsealing the mystery of Babylon. When I state, “Beijing is Doomed,” I am not visualizing natural accident or natural calamity. China’s downfall will come by guided, goal-oriented, purposeful, sequential actions following its strike by a heavenly object such as asteroid, large stone which will collide with China’s largest City of Shanghai.

**TE3N Movie explores my Tibet Connection. Beijing is Doomed.**

Excerpt: I love the Service Award I earned at Doom Dooma without using any Service Weapon. I love Doom Dooma for the opportunity it gave to me to demonstrate my commitment to serve the men who serve our country without any concern for my personal safety. I participated in military operations without carrying my Service Weapon for my Service at D Sector, Vikas Regiment, Establishment-22 is not regulated by Army Act, Army Rules and Defence Service Regulations which have remained unchanged over the decades.

SAINYA SEVA MEDAL

The Government of India awards Sainya Seva Medal to Service Personnel serving in Indian Armed Forces in recognition of ‘non-operational’ services under conditions of special hardship and severe climate. The bar or clasp shows the words ” NEFA ” in Hindi. To qualify for this award, an aggregate of one- year service in the North-East Frontier Agency (NEFA) is required. The Medal shows an image of Nanda Devi Himalayan mountain peak with a bamboo stand in the foreground.

REMEMBERING A WAR:THE 1962 INDIA-CHINA WAR: This is a photo image taken at D Desctor, Vikas Regiment in 1972, ten years after the 1962 War, while I proudly served the Nation in the North East Frontier Agency. Vikas Regiment, D Sector, Establishment-22 Special Service Award: I participated in military operations without carrying my Service Weapon for my Service at D Sector, Vikas Regiment, Establishment-22 is not regulated by Army Act, Army Rules and Defence Service Regulations which have remained unchanged over the decades.

I am proud of my military service in North East Frontier Agency (renamed Arunachal Pradesh) for several reasons. These are;

Special Frontier Force – Sainya Seva Medal – Service Award without Service Weapon. Vikas Regiment, D Sector, Establishment-22 Special Service Award: I participated in military operations without carrying my Service Weapon for my Service at D Sector, Vikas Regiment, Establishment-22 is not regulated by Army Act, Army Rules and Defence Service Regulations which have remained unchanged over the decades.

In 1962, Communist China’s War of Aggression across Himalayan Frontier motivated me to Resist, to Oppose and to Fight against Red China’s military threat posed from Occupied Tibet. 54 Years after the 1962 War, India is unwilling to part with her territory. India lost control of her territory in the Ladakh region as Tibet still remains under Chinese occupation.

REMEMBERING THE 1962 INDIA – CHINA WAR: The McMahon Line in India’s North East Frontier Agency or the State of Arunachal Pradesh. Vikas Regiment, D Sector, Establishment-22 Special Service Award: I participated in military operations without carrying my Service Weapon for my Service at D Sector, Vikas Regiment, Establishment-22 is not regulated by Army Act, Army Rules and Defence Service Regulations which have remained unchanged over the decades.

Fortunately, in the North-East Himalayan Sector, India retains control over territory which we initially lost in the 1962 War. In 1972, I was very glad to serve in this area for one complete year and I could personally witness the fact that India is fully prepared to fight against Red China one more time. We are willing to do our best to keep ‘NEFA’ (Arunachal Pradesh) under our control whatever may be the Chinese threats protests, and claims to territory she calls “Southern Tibet.” China, apart from the illegal military occupation of Tibet, claims Indian territory publishing maps showing international borders. In recent years, China refused to issue a visa to an Officer of the Indian Administrative Service who had earlier served in this region.

The tensions still exist and I am glad for we are better prepared now and if war is inevitable, we welcome that challenge. To serve in NEFA, I was stationed at Doom Dooma, Tinsukia District, Assam. When I first arrived in Doom Dooma to join my Unit, the first thing that I was told by my Unit Adjutant was, ” Rudra, if you need a copy of your most recent photo, ask the Chinese Intelligence, and they could provide you one.” The Chinese Intelligence operatives or spies keep tabs on each Officer who is entering this area while keeping a close watch on our movements.

To my utter surprise, my Indian Army Picture ID Card stolen during 1972 resurfaces in the Indian Movie titled TE3N. Doomsayer of Doom Dooma earns Sainya Seva Medal – Service Award Without Service Weapon. Vikas Regiment, D Sector, Establishment-22 Special Service Award: I participated in military operations without carrying my Service Weapon for my Service at D Sector, Vikas Regiment, Establishment-22 is not regulated by Army Act, Army Rules and Defence Service Regulations which have remained unchanged over the decades.

We are neither threatened nor intimidated by this kind of Chinese surveillance. We want to assure China that we will not be deterred by their superior Intelligence capabilities.

I arrived in Doom Dooma without my Service Weapon issued by Indian Army as I am expected to participate in operations not known to Indian Army and not regulated by Army Act, Army Rules and Defence Service Regulations.

I was not amused. I had no choice, no alternative for providing Military Service using the US Infantry Weapon for my personal protection. At Doom Dooma, I am predestined to oppose Red China without access to any Service Weapon. I moved around in NEFA performing military tasks sanctioned by my Unit without carrying any Military Weapon.

Indian Army’s Commitment to its Men:

In the Indian Army, we take pride in looking after our men and very often we stretch ourselves to do our best to safeguard the welfare of our men even under the most difficult circumstances. And we maintain this attitude while extending help to others who may not be members of our Service.

I remember my visit to a Forward Company location when a Sub-Inspector of Police came to me asking for medical attention. He belonged to the Central Reserve Protection Force and was dispatched to this difficult area without any prior health screening. I will not be surprised if the same thing is happening today. We deploy police personnel to work in remote areas and we do not care and value their services. This Police Officer was not medically fit to serve in this area and no attempt was made to ascertain his physical fitness to perform the task for which he was sent. Fortunately, he survived the long trek and the very difficult and physically challenging climb to reach the Village where I am camping. The Village has a Government Clinic and as there was no Doctor posted at the Clinic, I was voluntarily providing services to all civilians residing in that area.

I examined him and found his blood pressure to be very high and he was at great risk of suffering from a stroke which could be fatal or cause paralysis. Apparently, he had undiagnosed high blood pressure for a long time and I could also find evidence that his kidneys were already damaged. To bring his blood pressure under control, he needed immediate hospital treatment and required emergency medical evacuation.

His Police Department never cared to inquire about his well-being before giving him the posting order. Whereas in the Armed Forces, we routinely interview the men and get them medically examined before they are sent to difficult areas.

I prepared a note about his medical condition and the Signal Company Operators immediately dispatched this message. Within minutes, my request for Emergency Medical Evacuation was approved. Doom Dooma Air Force Station was asked to send a helicopter. After a short while, I received a call from the helicopter pilot who spoke to me on his radio and informed me that he was sitting in his helicopter and was ready to take off as soon as the weather permits. That was a particularly, rainy and cloudy day with very poor visibility and the mission was really challenging. The pilot had assured me that he would fly in spite of all odds and would pick up my patient. The control tower was closely monitoring the clouds and they were waiting for a window of opportunity to make this trip while the cloud system moves through the mountain valley. He had asked me to keep the patient ready at the helipad and that he would not be able to spend even an extra minute on the ground.

Special Frontier Force – Sainya Seva Medal – Service Award without Service Weapon. Mi- 4 Helicopter provided airlift service for our operations in NEFA (Arunachal Pradesh) Vikas Regiment, D Sector, Establishment-22 Special Service Award: I participated in military operations without carrying my Service Weapon for my Service at D Sector, Vikas Regiment, Establishment-22 is not regulated by Army Act, Army Rules and Defence Service Regulations which have remained unchanged over the decades.

Instantly, the whole scenario at my Company location got transformed. The day started on a very dull note. It was raining and there was dense fog. Suddenly, everybody got busy. As per standing orders, armed men were sent to secure our landing strip, weather signs were posted, the helipad was marked with fresh paint. Equipment for Fire-Fighting and Smoke Signaling were positioned on the ground. We erected a small shelter for the patient to rest while awaiting evacuation. A Sub-Inspector of Police suddenly became the focus of attention literally transforming him into a ‘VIP’ or Very Important Person. He was worried about his senior officers who dispatched him to this station. He was concerned that he might offend them by leaving his duty station without their prior permission. I reassured him and told him that the Indian Army would accept total responsibility for sending him to the hospital. I informed him that we value him and care for his well-being and that we would not expect any person to perform duty when their personal health is at risk.

The pilot made the bold trip as promised and safely transported him to Service Hospital at Air Force Station, Jorhat. The Sub-Inspector of Police told me that he would never forget this particular day of his life on which he could directly experience the sense of urgency with which we acted and treated him as if he is the most precious thing on earth.

I love the Service Award I earned at Doom Dooma without using any Service Weapon. I love Doom Dooma for the opportunity it gave to me to demonstrate my commitment to serve the men who serve our country without any concern for my personal safety.

Movie TE3N Reveals My lifetime affiliation with Vikas Regiment

TE3N Movie on Netflix.com reveals my lifetime affiliation with Vikas Regiment also known as Establishment No. 22, Special Frontier Force.: This badge depicting the Snow Lion represents a military alliance/pact between India, Tibet, and the United States of America. Its first combat mission was in the Chittagong Hill Tracts which unfolded during October 1971. It was named Operation Eagle. It accomplished its mission of securing peace in the region that is now known as Republic of Bangladesh.

I served in Special Frontier Force- Headquarters Establishment No. 22-Vikas Regiment from September 22, 1971, to December 10, 1974. My affiliation with Vikas Regiment survives to this date as I host ‘The Living Tibetan Spirits’ in my consciousness since 1971 Bangladesh Ops (India-Pakistan War of 1971 that lead to the Liberation of Bangladesh). Because of my affiliation with Vikas Regiment, my Indian Army Picture ID photo image of 1972 appears in a scene in the TE3N movie of 2016.

I have three reasons why I reside in the United States since July 1986.

**TE3N Movie Review – Indian Army vs Special Frontier Force. Army Act 1950 did not govern my Military Conduct during 1971 Bangladesh Ops for the Act does not govern Special Frontier Force.**

My first reason to reside in the United States is that of staying away from India, the country of my origin.

My second reason to reside in the United States is that of staying away from the military organization called Special Frontier Force which is also popularly known as Establishment No. 22 which is renamed as Vikas Regiment.

The third reason for residing in the United States is that of my Enemy keeping me under surveillance while the Government of India denies me my right to Self-Defense.

TE3N Pre-recorded DVD – Photo Images.

Dear Sir,

1. On behalf of Special Frontier Force, I am pleased to inform you that a few photo images included in the screenshot of Section.15 of TE3N Pre-recorded DVD, PKD: July/2016 belong to our military organization, people currently affiliated to the organization under terms and conditions established by Government of India.

2. The Movie TE3N is the remake of a South Korean film, and inclusion of the photo images of personnel affiliated to Special Frontier Force is of interest. My organization would like to mention that the Movie Production Team made the decision to use these images giving general public or viewers a mistaken notion about our identity. Special Frontier Force represents a military organization distinct from the Indian Army while it draws Indian Army personnel apart from other nationals.

3. I warmly appreciate artistic freedom exercised by Producer Sujoy Ghosh and Director Ribhu Dasgupta in producing Movie TE3N.

Thanking You,

Yours Sincerely,

Whole Dude – Whole Failure

The assassination of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on August 15, 1975.

A rare family photograph of Bangbandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, where he sits in the middle with his youngest Sheikh Rissell on his lap, Sheikh Kamal on the very left, Sheikh Rehana, second from left, spouse Begum Fazilatunnesa Mujib, on Bangbandhu’ right, Sheikh Jamal, fifth from left, and incumbent Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on the very right

I returned to Chakrata, India during the last week of January 1972 after the successful conclusion of Operation Eagle that initiated the Liberation of Bangladesh with military action in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. During February 1972, I had the opportunity to take part in the training of a National Security Force (Jatiyo Rakkhi Bahini) whose mission was very clear from the beginning. There was an utter sense of urgency and earnestness to defend the personal life of Bangabandhu Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Mujibur Rahman as our intelligence information discovered a plot getting brewed by a few Bangladesh Army Officers who were not satisfied with Bangabandhu’s vision for a modern, democratic nation of Bangladesh. In February 1972, the training of the National Defence Force (Jatiyo Rakkhi Bahini) commenced in Establishment 22, near Chakrata. I have direct personal insight of the training of Mujib Bahini before the 1971 War and of JRB in 1972 after the War.

Indira Gandhi’s paramount concern at that moment of time was figuring out how to get Bangladesh leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman back to his country alive and well.
She was prepared to pay any price to save his life. This much the prime minister confided to at least one member of her so called ‘kitchen Cabinet’. That person was Ram Nath Kao.the RAW chief.

Bangabandhu, Father of the Nation, Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Mujibur Rahman had twice ignored India’s alert against the bloody putsch, saying the plotters were his “own children” who will not harm him.

Over seven months before the ‘Bangabandhu’ was assassinated along with most of his family members in the August 15, 1975 carnage, a former top Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) official had met him here to warn him against the conspirators.

“These are my own children and they will not harm me,” the Bangladesh leader had told Rameshwar Nath Kao, founder of the India’s external intelligence agency, who meet him in December, 1974 with the approval of the then Indian Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi.

Referring to the book “Inside R&AW” by Asoka Raina, the report said Rahman had dismissed the concern with a wave of his hand. Kao did not argue but said the Indian information was reliable and he would send him more details of the plot.

He subsequently sent a senior RAW officer to Dhaka in March, 1975 who gave Rahman exact details of the units and ranks of the serving and dismissed officers who were hatching the plot to overthrow his post-independence government.

“But again, he (Bangabandhu) was not convinced,” it said.

**.Prime Minister Sheikh Mujibur Rahman welcoming Indian Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi on March 17, 1972 at Dhaka Airport.**

**Prime Minister Mrs Indira Gandhi interacting with Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on 07 Feb 1972 at Raj Bhavan, Calcutta (Kolkata)**

**A smiling Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman during the signing of Mujib-Indira treaty (May 16, 1974).**

In my analysis, India had prior information of the assassination plot. India diligently shared the intelligence information with Bangladesh Prime Minister. The choice to act upon the intelligence information was entirely left in the hands of Bangladesh Prime Minister. Indian Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi took utmost care to get his release from the military prison in West Pakistan and played a critical role to avoid the death sentence imposed on him. At the same time, India treated the new independent nation with grace and respect giving Bangladesh to discover its own destiny without external influence.

Jatiyo Rakkhi Bahini (JRB) – from law enforcers to Sheikh Mujib’s private army

Sheikh Mujib’s hatred for all things military

Sheikh Mujib had an understandable hatred for all things military. He had suffered grievously at the hands of Pakistan’s two military dictators, Field Marshall Ayub Khan and General Yahya Khan. Ayub had arrested Sheikh Mujib on 7 October 1958, the day he seized power. During the next 10-and-half-years of Ayub’s dictatorship Sheikh Mujib had been jailed for long periods in solitary confinement. Then in 1968, while once more in detention for political activity, he was made the principle accused in the notorious Agartala Conspiracy trial in Dhaka. The charge conspiring with India for the secession of East Pakistan. It was a capital offence and Mujib only escaped the gallows because a countryside upsurge against Ayub in 1968 forced him to drop the charges and bring Mujib to the conference table.

While a prisoner of General Yahya Khan in 1971 during the Bangladesh independence struggle, Sheikh Mujib had had an even closer brush with death. According to Sheikh Mujib, he had been tried by a military court and found guilty of treason and sedition. He was to be executed on 15 December 1971, a day before Pakistan surrendered to Bangladesh in Dhaka. Fortunately for him the ceasefire was ordered that night and he was smuggled away to safety by the prison jailor.

Sheikh Mujib carried his hatred of the army with him to the grave. This attitude was shared by his ministers and other senior Awami Leaguers who had also escaped death at the hands of the Pakistan army in 1971.To their [senior Awami Leaguers] basic hostility of things military was added, after independence, the fear that the Bangladesh army might try to supplant them. This anxiety was grounded in the fact that the Bengali military men had been in the thick of the fighting during the independence movement while the Awami Leaguers stayed safely in Calcutta out of the line of fire. As such it would have been understandable if the army men with the other freedom fighters had insisted on positions of influence in the new state. The army as an institution at least did not make this demand. It was content to let Mujib rule and in the first two years of independence gave him loyalty and support.

Anthony Mascarenhas, journalist who wrote the groundbreaking ‘Genocide’ article in 1971 & author of “Bangladesh: A Legacy of Blood” (1986)

Mujib and his ministers, however, from the very start deliberately emasculated [made efforts to weaken] the role of the Defence Forces. Before he was one month in office Mujib took the first step in this direction by signing a 25 year Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance with India. The Indian army had helped to create Bangladesh and it was to India that Mujib now looked to protect it from external aggression. The treaty thus obviated the need for an effective fighting force and the country’s defence establishment was reduced to a police-keeping and largely ceremonial role.I don’t want to create another monster like the one we had in Pakistan.

Sheikh Mujib told Anthony Mascarenhas in February 1974 that he was against a powerful military force

Nevertheless, in independent Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Mujib took initiatives to establish military academies for building skilled and ideal armed forces in the country. He inaugurated the Military Academy in Comilla Cantonment in 1974. However, with the administration of the country at its infancy and his personal dislike for all things military, Sheikh Mujib remained reluctant to dispense too much power to the army and maintained a cautious approach throughout his reign.When you play with gentlemen, you play like a gentleman. But when you play with bastards, make sure you play like a bigger bastard. Otherwise you will lose. Don’t forget I have had good teachers.

Sheikh Mujib allegedly remarked to Anthony Mascarenhas during a poker game on a night train from the Grand Canyon to Los Angeles

Creation of JRB

In early 1972, the government announced the formation of an elite paramilitary force named the Jatiyo Rakkhi Bahini (National Defence Force), or JRB for short. The Jatiyo Rakkhi Bahini Order, 1972 (President’s Order no. 21 of 1972) was promulgated on 7 March 1972 – on the first anniversary of Sheikh Mujib’s famous Ebarer Sangram speech – with a retroactive effect from 1 February 1972.

The idea for the JRB is believed to have resulted from a discussion between the top leaders of Mujib Bahini (also known as Bangladesh Liberation Force or BLF) and Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. The leaders made Sheikh Mujib realise that the fruit of the labour during the independence war could be undone by anti-revolutionary forces within the young volatile nation. It was a view also shared by Tajuddin Ahmad. He advised Sheikh Mujib that the 100,000 trained and armed common people that had participated as muktijuddhas (freedom fighters) during the Swadhinata Juddho (Independence War) should come under national service and a paramilitary force should be formed for them.

Sheikh Mujib was also aware of the growing threat of coup from the military. To combat these, Sheikh Mujib formed the new elite force to provide security for the people after initially rejecting the idea. The task force was formed without any consultation in the cabinet.

So about 110,000 government certified freedom fighters, at the very outset of the independence, felt ignored and excluded from the reconstruction of the new country. Though Sheikh Mujib offered the freedom fighters to join the armed forces, only 8,000 turned up – mostly young Mujib Bahini members and other loyal cadres – and they were absorbed in the Jatiyo Rakkhi Bahini.

Indian link

Jatiyo Rakkhi Bahini was actively deployed just after the Indian Army left Bangladesh on 17 March 1972. The force was trained and brought up by Indian Major General Sujan Singh Uban from Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) as per the request of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. General Uban, had also trained the Mujib Bahini in India during the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War and accompanied Sheikh Moni to Bangladesh.

The basic training of the force was not provided by the Bangladesh Army but instead given in India, by Indian Army. Any additional special training were also provided by India in the Indian Military Academy of Dehradun. The JRB troops were armed with Indian assault rifles, heavy machine guns, steel helmet, and leather boots. Jeeps and trucks were imported from India and their olive green-coloured uniform was similar to that of the Border Security Force 66 of the Indian Army.

The JRB was led by Brigadier General A. N. M. Nuruzzaman who was appointed as the Director General while Major Anwarul Alam Shahid (Training), Lieutenant Colonel Abul Hasan Khan (Administration), Lieutenant Colonel Sarwar (Operations), Lieutenant Colonel Sabihuddin (Signals) and Lieutenant Colonel Azizul Islam (Zonal Head Quarter of Chittagong) were his five deputies.

Brigadier Nuruzzaman was a Sector 3 (Brahmanbaria and parts of Sylhet) Commander during 1971 Liberation War.The raising of a new paramilitary force, JRB having exclusive allegiance to Sheikh Mujib proved morally and politically disastrous. JRB became the target of anti-Mujib campaign.

At the height of its influence in 1975 JRB was 25,000 member strong and plans were put in place for it to grow to an astronomical 130,000 by the end of 1980 – that’s more than the number of muktijuddhas who fought in the Swadhinata Juddho. These troops would have been distributed to every district under the authority of the 60 District Governors. To finance this force, Sheikh Mujib used the major part of the 13% of public expenditures allocated to defence, and recruitment of new soldiers in the army was almost stopped. When the Rakkhi Bahini was raised to 25,000 men with basic military training and modern automatic weapons, the discontent amongst some army men turned into antagonism. All these discrimination created rift between the two forces.The Jatiyo Rakkhi Bahini, which roughly translated means National Security Force, was an elite para-military force whose members had to take oaths of personal loyalty to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

Bangabandhu Sheik Mujibur Rahman with Major General Sujan Singh Uban, Inspector General Special Frontier Force. In February 1972, the training of the National Defence Force (Jatiyo Rakkhi Bahini) commenced in Establishment 22, near Chakrata. I have direct personal insight of the training of Mujib Bahini before the 1971 War and of JRB in 1972 after the War.

Subject:- Operation Eagle – Military Operation in the Chittagong Hill Tracts – India-Pakistan War of 1971 – “The Past is Never Dead.” – Regarding.

Reference:- Government of India Ministry of Defence Letter No. 3533/2009/D(Cer) dated 2nd/3rd December, 2009.

Operation Eagle – Military Operation in Chittagong Hill Tracts in 1971 -“The Past is Never Dead.” I am asking release of 1971 War Service Citation to get due recognition as per Battle Plan approved by the Prime Minister of India.

Honorable Prime Minister of India,

1. Using the famous words of Nobel Laureate William Faulkner, I would submit to you, “The Past is Never Dead… It’s not even Past.”

2. I, R. Rudra Narasimham, Personal Number. MS-8466, Rank. Captain, R. R. Narasimham, AMC/SSC, was posted to Headquarters Establishment No. 22 C/O 56 APO (Est No. 22 ) as Medical Officer with effect from 22 September 1971.

3. At Est No. 22, I was issued written orders to take part in military Operation Eagle (Op Eagle). The Battle Plan was approved by Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi. In other words, Op Eagle derived legal authority for it was duly sanctioned by the Government of India. I acted in obedience to the orders issued by my immediate superior Officers as the military plan is sanctioned by the Cabinet Secretariat, Government of India. Kindly ask me if I have to provide any other information about Op Eagle and its legal status as an Official act of War.

4. The Op Eagle battle plan included the use of helicopter flights from India for airlifting of battle casualties from the Chittagong Hill Tracts to the Field Hospital, Lungleh, Mizoram.

5. For the conduct of military operations, I was posted to ‘South Column’ Unit commanded by Lieutenant Colonel B K Narayan. Under his Command, my Unit penetrated enemy territory. We launched an offensive attack on an entrenched enemy post at about 40 miles distance from a Border Security Force Post in Indian territory. As the Unit Medical Officer, my duties and responsibilities were that of treating and holding battle casualties at my Unit location in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. The Force Headquarters of Op Eagle was assigned the duty and responsibility of evacuation of battle casualties from the Unit location to the Field Hospital.

6. During the initial phase of Op Eagle, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi withheld her permission for the use of helicopter flight from India to the Unit Battlefield location in the Chittagong Hill Tracts.

7. Apart from the helicopter airlift, Brigadier T S Oberoi, Brigade Commander at the Force Headquarters, Op Eagle had no alternate or contingency plan for immediate and safe evacuation of battle casualties from the Chittagong Hill Tracts to the Field Hospital. Lack of planned airlift support imposed sudden, unexpected challenge. I accepted this challenge and went beyond the call of my duty and executed the difficult task of this casualty evacuation after we seized an enemy position in a fierce battle.

8. Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, when briefed about this battle casualty evacuation problem, gave permission for helicopter flights from India to the Chittagong Hill Tracts on Day 5 of Op Eagle after I successfully completed my task.

9. My actions to perform the duties of Medical Officer during Op Eagle clearly show that I took the initiative to respond in a timely manner at a critical juncture, went Beyond the Call of Duty, and performed my tasks without sense of fear and without concern for my personal safety inside enemy territory where we faced the threat of enemy retaliation and the threat posed by Mizo rebels who operated on both sides of India-Pakistan border. To put this in proper perspective, I have to mention that this battle casualty evacuation on Day 3/4 involved a physically challenging march of over 80 miles within 24 hours across remote, roadless, hilly, forest terrain. Kindly let me know if any other Army Medical Corps Officer performed a similar task during Indian Army military operations. For the first time in the history of Indian Army Medical Corps, I provided medical care and comfort as a Medical Officer, in addition, I performed nursing duties which are expected of AMC Nursing Assistant and Ambulance Assistant during battle casualty evacuation. As my Unit was still engaged in defending the just captured enemy post, the AMC Nursing Assistants remained on their duty and could not be spared for battle casualty evacuation.

10. My Unit Commander, Lieutenant Colonel B K Narayan initiated a citation that recommended grant of Gallantry Award – “Vir Chakra” to recognize my gallant action deep inside the enemy territory; the citation was approved and recommended by Brigade Commander, Brigadier T S Oberoi, VrC, and by Formation Commander, Major General Sujan Singh Uban, Inspector General of Special Frontier Force.

11. Kindly direct the Under Secretary (Cer), Ministry of Defence to publicly release this citation recommending the grant of Gallantry Award during my 1971 War Service.

Thanking You,

Yours Faithfully,

R. Rudra Narasimham, B.Sc., M.B.B.S.,

Whole Dude – Whole Jew

The Spirit of a Jew – The Birth of a Nation

The Spirit of a Jew-The Birth of Bangladesh. I am able to recognize his Spirit as I had served in the same military operation and participated in military action in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. My Unit Adjutant Captain Kottayam Chacko Kurien ( Emergency Commission Officer who had earlier served in the Indian Army in the 1962 India-China War), a Kochi Jew had enriched my experience and understanding of Jewish Spirit.

Excerpt: While Major General Jack Farj Rafael Jacob was the Chief of Staff at the Eastern Army Headquarters, the only other Jew in the Liberation War of Bangladesh was the Adjutant of my Unit.The Adjutant, Captain.Kottayam Chacko Kurien is a Kerala Jew. The Jews of Kerala were the first members of Jewish community to arrive in India and their migration dates back to the biblical times,starting with the Roman destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. and even the earlier period of their Babylonian Exile.There is evidence to prove that there was a Jewish community in India prior to the arrival of Saint Thomas in 52 A.D.Since I had participated in the 1971 War without my personal weapon, Captain Kurien was also assigned the responsibility of defending me. He took that task with a sense of cheer and true to his spirit of a Jew, he had solemnly announced that I would be the last person to get killed (by the enemy) in my Unit and had assured me that I should have no concerns for being unarmed.

Lieutenant General Jack Farj Rafael Jacob, PVSM, The Architect of Surrender at Dacca on December 16, 1971

The Birth of a Nation – The Birth of Bangladesh in 1971

Bangladesh declared its independence from Pakistani rule on March 25, 1971 but the Liberation was accomplished on 16th December, 1971 at 4.30 p.m. when the Pakistani army commander Lt General. A. A. K. Niazi signed the surrender document before people of Dhaka (Dacca) at Dhaka’s ‘Racecourse Maidan’ which is now known as ‘Suhrawardy Udyan’.

Major General J F R Jacob, Chief of Staff of Indian Eastern Army had drafted the “instrument of surrender.” Earlier on that day of surrender, General Jacob had arrived to meet General Niazi who had actually wanted to discuss “only a ceasefire under the U.N. “The credit of arranging this modern history’s only public surrender by a vanquished force goes to this Jewish General of Indian Army. General Jacob’s Hebrew name is Yaacov Rafael, a ‘Baghdadi’ Jew and the family had arrived in Calcutta about 200 years ago.

About 36 years after the surrender ceremony, a 11-member delegation of Indian war veterans led by General Jacob were invited to Bangladesh to witness the 37th Independence Day celebrations on March 26, 2008. Some of the historical events are described by General Jacob in his book titled ‘SURRENDER AT DACCA: BIRTH OF A NATION’ and the book was published by Manohar Publishers in the year 2001.

It is very interesting to note that General Jacob in an interview at Dacca had given some appreciation to the military operation in the Chittagong Hill Tracts and the Liberation of Chittagong by Forces which operated outside the jurisdiction of Indian Army’s Eastern Command.

The Spirit of a Jew

General Jacob joined the British Indian Army (Artillery) in 1942 because of his concerns about the persecution of Jews by the Nazis. Very interestingly, his first assignment during the World War II was in Iraq from where his ancestors had migrated to India. He had also served in Africa, Burma, and Sumatra during World War II. He had retired in 1978 after serving as the Commander of India’s Eastern Army. He was instrumental in saving the lives of many Pakistani service personnel, civilian staff, paramilitary forces and their families by successfully negotiating the modalities of the surrender at Dacca. The surrender had ensured that the prisoners would be treated with Dignity and Respect that they are entitled to under the Geneva Conventions of 1948. It guaranteed the safety and wellbeing of all who surrender. Much attention was given to safely remove the non-combatants and the soldiers were particularly protected from reprisal attacks by the victorious Bangla freedom fighters (Mukti Bahini).

While Major General Jacob was the Chief of Staff at the Eastern Army Headquarters, the only other Jew in the Liberation War of Bangladesh was the Adjutant of my Unit.The Adjutant, Captain.Kottayam Chacko Kurien is a Kerala Jew. The Jews of Kerala were the first members of Jewish community to arrive in India and their migration dates back to the biblical times,starting with the Roman destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. and even the earlier period of their Babylonian Exile.There is evidence to prove that there was a Jewish community in India prior to the arrival of Saint Thomas in 52 A.D.Since I had participated in the 1971 War without my personal weapon, Captain Kurien was also assigned the responsibility of defending me. He took that task with a sense of cheer and true to his spirit of a Jew, he had solemnly announced that I would be the last person to get killed (by the enemy) in my Unit and had assured me that I should have no concerns for being unarmed.

**Operation Eagle. The military action to initiate the Liberation of Bangladesh involved the use of this US Marine Corps Service Rifle.** The Spirit of a Jew-The Birth of Bangladesh. I am able to recognize his Spirit as I had served in the same military operation and participated in military action in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. My Unit Adjutant Captain Kottayam Chacko Kurien ( Emergency Commission Officer who had earlier served in the Indian Army in the 1962 India-China War), a Kochi Jew had enriched my experience and understanding of Jewish Spirit.

As we moved in, it did not take too long for an alert enemy patrol to spot our movement and they opened an intense barrage of gun fire. Captain. Kurien quickly dug up a trench and had asked me to take cover till things cool down. It was a very dark night, we responded with great restraint, and as we waited with our own attack plan, we allowed the enemy patrol to think that we were beaten back. As I was in good company, I could totally focus on my primary task of giving medical support to the men without any other concern about my personal safety. In the same operational zone, several miles away, a doctor had a very rough experience for lack of proper understanding of his role and for not trusting the men whom he was to support.

Having taken part in the military operation of 1971 to Liberate Bangladesh, I would give credit to the Indian Air Force who clinched the victory and the surrender by the Pakistani forces.Indian ground forces could rapidly advance towards Dacca and Chittagong as they never came under an air strike by Pakistan.General Jacob in his book had claimed that the Eastern Army had prepared a better operational plan but the facts are the ground assault can not proceed without air support and the coordinated support for the attack is planned at the Army Headquarters in New Delhi rather than at Kolkata where the Eastern Army Command is based. Indian Air Force dominated the air space and they were able to hit any enemy target with great precision and with the display of their air superiority and power, Pakistani General Niazi had no chance of protecting his ground forces and took the wise course of ending the battle and over 93,000 people eventually returned to Pakistan.

How Lt General JFR Jacob secured Pakistan’s surrender in 1971

Excerpted from Lt Gen JFR Jacob’s autobiography “An Odyssey in War and Peace: An Autobiography” published in 2011

On the morning of 16 December, Manekshaw phoned me and said, “Jake, go and get a surrender.” I asked him if I should negotiate the surrender on the basis of the draft sent to him some days earlier. He replied, “You know what to do; just go.”

I then mentioned that Niazi had invited me for lunch, and informed Aurora. I met Mrs Bhanti Aurora outside the office, and she told me that she was going to Dacca as her place was beside her husband. I returned to Aurora and asked him if he was taking his wife with him. He replied in the affirmative. I said it was risky taking her there, to which he replied that it would be my responsibility to ensure her safety!

I proceeded to Dacca accompanied by a staff officer. I took my draft of the Instrument of Surrender, which was yet to be confirmed by Army HQ. I changed helicopters at Jessore to save refuelling time. An officer ran up to me handing over a signal message from Army HQ. I expected that the message would confirm the draft I was carrying with me. It read: “Government of India has approved of General Jacob having lunch with Gen. Niazi.” I proceeded on to Dacca.

On landing at Dacca, I was met by the representatives of the UN, Marc Henry, Kelly, and others. They told me that they were accompanying me to take over the government and to arrange the withdrawal of the Pakistan military, paramilitary, and Pakistani civilians. I thanked them but declined their offer. Fighting was going on in Dacca between the Mukti Bahini and the Pakistan Army.

The Pakistanis had sent me a staff car. The chief of staff of Pakistan’s Eastern Command accompanied me in the car to the headquarters of Eastern Command. We had barely proceeded a few hundred yards when a group of freedom fighters blocking the road fired at the car. I jumped out exclaiming “Indian army”.

Seeing my olive green Indian Army uniform they stopped firing but wanted to kill the Pakistani Chief of Staff. I reasoned with them, trying to persuade them to allow us to proceed. They reluctantly agreed.

I entered Niazi’s office. Present there were the seniormost Pakistani army, navy, and air force officers, as also some other senior military officers. I was shocked to see Maj. Gen. Nagra seated on the sofa with his arm around Niazi engaged in cracking bawdy jokes in Punjabi. Siddiq Salik in his book Witness to Surrender (1977) wrote that the jokes were unprintable!

We had moved Nagra just a few days earlier to replace Maj Gen Gurbax Singh, who was in command of the force that was moving to capture Dacca, but was wounded. Nagra had known Niazi from before when he was posted as military advisor to our High Commission in Islamabad.

The ceasefire had taken effect at 1700 hours on 15 December. On the morning of 16 December, Nagra, who was some 30 miles outside Dacca with elements of 95 Mountain Brigade and 2 Para, well after the ceasefire went into force, sent a message to Niazi to send his representative. Niazi was at a loss to understand this message as he was expecting me. Nagra, flying a white flag, was escorted to Niazi’s headquarters. I saw the three jeeps with white flags parked outside.

I called Nagra outside, gave him a sharp dressing down for disgraceful conduct unbecoming of a general officer. I told him to send some troops into Dacca, to the airfield and Intercontinental Hotel to protect the officials there. I also instructed him to arrange a table and two chairs at the Race Course for signature of the Instrument of Surrender, as also to provide a detachment for a joint guard of honour. I told him to leave behind a jeep for me.

I re-entered the building. The draft Instrument of Surrender was read out. Niazi, with tears rolling down his cheeks, said: “Who said I am surrendering? You have only come to discuss a ceasefire and withdrawal as proposed by me.” The service chiefs present also voiced their objections. Rao Farman Ali objected to surrendering to a “Joint Command”.

Time was running out so I called Niazi aside. I told him that if he did not surrender I could not take responsibility for the safety of their families and ethnic minorities but if he did I would ensure their protection. I asked him to reconsider, again reminding him that if he did not surrender I would not be responsible for the safety of their families. I then added that I would give him 30 minutes to reconsider and if he did not I would order the resumption of hostilities and the bombing of Dacca. I then walked out to be met by the press.

I was extremely worried. Niazi had 26,400 troops in Dacca, we had about 3,000 some 30 miles out. I was in a quandary as what to do in the event of his refusing. Aurora and his entourage were expected to land in an hour or two and the ceasefire was to expire shortly. I had nothing in hand.

After 30 minutes I walked into the office to be met by a deathly silence, my draft surrender document lying on the table. I asked Niazi if he accepted this document, to which he did not reply. I repeated the enquiry thrice. He still did not respond.

I then picked up the document, holding it high, and said, “I take it as accepted.” Tears rolled down Niazi’s cheeks, there were glares from those present.

I called Niazi aside and then told him that I had arranged for the signing to take place at the Race Course in public. He objected strongly. I then told him that he would have to surrender his sword. He said that he did not have a sword but would surrender his revolver.

At around 1500 hours, I asked Niazi to accompany me to the airport. As Nagra had not left a jeep for me, I sat with Niazi in his staff car. The Mukti Bahini fighters jumped on the car and it was with some difficulty that we reached the airport. Fortunately, en route we stopped a jeep with two of our paratroopers who were sightseeing. I asked them to follow us.

Around 1630 hours Aurora and his entourage arrived in a fleet of five M14 and four Allouette helicopters. Aurora was accompanied by his wife and the Cs-in-C of Navy and IAF Commands. Lt Gen. Sagat Singh and some of his divisional commanders also alighted, as did Wing Commander Khondker. Osmani, unfortunately was not there; the helicopter in which he had been traveling having been shot at and damaged.

I had planned to travel in the last car with Aurora and Niazi, but Aurora asked me to make way for his wife, who then took her place by her husband’s side. The ADC, who was carrying the papers to be signed, and I had to hitch our way on a truck to the Race Course.

Though there was very little time for any preparations, the ceremony went off reasonably well. After inspecting the guard of honour, Aurora and Niazi sat at the table and signed the Instrument of Surrender. I glanced at the documents and was aghast to see the heading which read “Instrument of Surrender – to be signed at 1631 IST [Indian Standard Time]”. I looked at my watch, which showed that the time was 1655 hours. The documents they brought to be signed had to be re-signed by both in Calcutta some two weeks later!

Niazi removed his epaulette, took out his revolver and handed it to Aurora; tears rolled down his cheeks. It was getting dark. The crowd at the Race Course began shouting and there were threats to lynch Niazi; anti-Pakistani slogans and abuses resounded. They then moved towards Niazi. The senior officers present formed a cordon around him and whisked him off in one of our jeeps.

Sometime later, when I examined the revolver that Niazi had surrendered, I realized that it could not have been Niazi’s. e barrel was choked with muck and had not been cleaned for some considerable time, the lanyard was frayed and dirty. This could not have been the personal weapon of a commanding general. Niazi had probably taken it from one of the military policemen and surrendered it as his personal weapon. I could not help feeling that in a small way Niazi had got some of his own back.

This medal was awarded to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of Indian independence in 1972. The medal was awarded to all members of the armed forces, paramilitary forces, and police forces who were serving on 15 August 1972. This medal gives me an opportunity to remember the twenty-fifth year of my life. I was then serving in Indian Army in the rank of a Captain and was posted at a unit located in the North-East Frontier Agency which is now known as the State of Arunachal Pradesh. We all had a very good reason to rejoice on that day. India had scored a major victory in the India-Pakistan War of 1971 and we took pride in the fact that we had a role in shaping that epic event in India’s military history.

India’s First Independence Day celebration on August 15, 1947 has become a measure of my life. Operation Eagle 1971-72, the India-Pakistan War of 1971 and the Liberation of Bangladesh are very significant achievements of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. As I was then serving in Special Frontier Force, Establishment No. 22 (Vikas Regiment) under the Cabinet Secretariat, I had direct and personal understanding of Prime Minister’s Foreign Policy initiatives. She approved our military Operation in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. In the conduct of this clandestine military operation, we faced a very critical moment and it demanded the Prime Minister’s approval for deploying aircraft in enemy territory, a decision that she alone can make. While awaiting her decision, I carried out a difficult war casualty evacuation mission to overcome the challenge posed by the lack of airlift facility. The importance of this situation could be understood as it required the Prime Minister’s intervention. I am now asking the Government of India to recognize my GALLANT response in enemy’s territory without any concern for my personal safety.

Apart from his military wisdom, he took a good care of all men under his Command. While I was proceeding to the Chittagong Hill Tracts, he individually greeted all the members of my team and delayed the departure of aircraft to make sure that a hot breakfast was served to all the men boarding the aircraft. He paid personal attention to all the aspects of the military mission to secure the well-being of men apart from achieving success in accomplishing the military task. The sense of warmth he radiated is easily felt when we meet him in person. His grandson provided me the link to this photo. Photo Credit – Trishna-Ajay-Picasa Web Album.

Richard Nixon visits Peking

The Year 1972

President Richard Nixon visits the People’s Republic of China. After arriving in Peking, the president announced that his breakthrough visit to China is “The week that changed the world.” In meeting with Nixon, Prime Minister Zhou Enlai urged early peace in Vietnam but did not endorse North Vietnam’s political demands. North Vietnamese officials and peace negotiators took a dim view of Nixon’s trip, fearing that China and the United States would make a deal behind their backs. Nixon’s promise to reduce the U.S. military presence on Taiwan seemed to confirm North Vietnam’s fears of a Chinese-American sellout-trading U.S. military reduction in Taiwan for peace in Vietnam.

Despite Hanoi’s fears, China continued to supply North Vietnam levels of aid that had increased significantly in late 1971. This aid permitted the North Vietnamese to launch a major new offensive in March 1972.

By Staff Writer

DHARAMSHALA: His Holiness the Dalai Lama today began a four-day teaching on Chapter II of Nagarjuna’s The Precious Garland of the Middle Way (uma rinchen trengwa) at the request of a group from Asia including Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam at the Tsuglagkhang. Over 5000 devotees from 57 countries had come to attend the teaching, of which 1200 were Buddhist monks and nuns. The remaining include devotees from Mainland China, India and local Tibetans along with 1500 from south east Asian countries of Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia.

The teaching began with a recitation of Sherab Nyingpo or Heart Sutra in different languages. His Holiness the Dalai Lama greeted all the devotees who come from different part of the world.

Emphasising the importance of Moral Ethics, His Holiness said: “Years of discussions with many scholars and educationist friends have led to the decision of coming up with a curriculum on moral ethics without touching any religious aspect.” His Holiness even mentioned a few Universities in western countries that have started a curriculum on it and suggested the practice of compassion and sense of oneness of humanity.

His Holiness added that friendship is built on trust, and that trust can only be gained through love and compassion in the absence of pride, jealousy and malicious thoughts. “We should all keep our identity and religion aside and consider ourselves humans first. At the fundamental level, we all seven billion human beings are the same wishing for a happy life,” he said.
“It is matter of great sadness and loss if religion becomes a tool of these negative afflictions,” His Holiness noted.
The teachings will continue for the next three days culminating in a long life empowerment on the final day of the teaching on 1 September.
