This is my special tribute to Lohit River and I post this blog to remember my life’s journey; a journey from 1962 to 1972. During 1962, I was a student at Giriraj Government Arts College, Nizamabad, Andhra Pradesh, India and I was studying in the First Year of a 3-Year Bachelor of Science Degree Course. During October 1962, when China attacked India across the Himalayan Frontier, Indian people spontaneously reacted condemning the act of Chinese aggression. It gave me a strong motivation to serve the country to defend the Northern Frontier. My dream came true during 1969 when I was granted Short Service Regular Commission to join the Indian Army Medical Corps. On completion of my basic military and professional training, I was deputed to Special Frontier Force and I had the proudest moment of my life when I visited the War Memorial in Walong, Lohit District, North East Frontier Agency(NEFA) during 1972. I got married during January 1973, while I was serving in the North East Frontier Agency and Lohit River is my witness to my Life’s Journey and Commitment.
SPECIAL FRONTIER FORCE – LOHIT RIVER: Map of Anjaw District, Arunachal Pradesh State, India.
I am pleased to share an article titled ‘China opens new highway near Arunachal Pradesh Border’ written by Ananth Krishnan that was published in the HINDU on November 01, 2013. I had served in that area and the military organization in which I had served discouraged photography and I did not take photos of the natural scenery of that area. I would like to share some photo images published by http://GreenerPasturesInd.Wordpress.com and others, particularly the images of Lohit River that flows down the Anjaw District of Arunachal Pradesh.
The North East Frontier Agency(NEFA) was constituted in 1912-13. To settle the border between India and Tibet, Sir Henry McMahon, Secretary in the Indian Foreign Department represented Great Britain at a conference held in Simla during 1913-14. The Simla Accord or Simla Agreement between India, Tibet, and China resulted in the McMahon Treaty and the McMahon Line established the official border between India and Tibet. India after gaining her independence and after becoming an independent Republic has ratified the McMahon Treaty. People’s Republic of China which came into existence during 1949 had opposed this Treaty and had occupied Tibet during 1950 rejecting the status of Tibet of being an independent nation. The Communist China’s occupation of Tibet has posed a military threat to Peace and Democracy in Southeast Asia and Tibet’s Head of State, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama fled to India during March 1959 as a consequence of China’s repressive, brutal military actions. On August 26, 1959, in this northeast frontier sector, China’s People’s Liberation Army crossed the McMahon Line for the first time to capture an Indian border post. China abandoned this post during 1961 and launched a major offensive war during October 1962 attacking Indian Army positions in the entire North East Frontier Agency. Due to the firm intervention by the US President John F. Kennedy, China declared unilateral ceasefire and withdrew its forces from all the areas it had captured in the North East Frontier Agency. One of the consequences of this 1962 War of China’s Aggression on India was the creation of a military alliance/pact between India, Tibet, and the United States to defend the border and to challenge the military occupation of Tibet. This military pact/alliance has established a military organization called Establishment No. 22 which is later given the name of Special Frontier Force. I had served in Special Frontier Force along with Tibetan soldiers and we were defending North East Frontier Agency during that period of my military service. The North East Frontier Agency became Indian Union Territory and was named Arunachal Pradesh on January 20, 1972. The State of Arunachal Pradesh was formed on February 20, 1987. I had arrived at Doom Dooma(Dum Duma) during February 1972 after my successful participation in the military action called ‘Operation Eagle’ which initiated the Liberation of Bangladesh on November 03, 1971 with attacks on Pakistan’s military border posts in Chittagong Hill Tracts. The United States had withdrawn its CIA personnel from our Organization prior to the launch of Operation Eagle. However, our military alliance/pact withstood the test of the times. In 1972, CIA contacted my Unit in North East Frontier Agency and had requested us for our assistance to plant monitoring devices to record data from China’s underground nuclear tests in occupied Tibet. China’s occupation of Tibet, it claims for Indian territory and China’s military build up still pose a grave threat to Peace and Freedom in Southeast Asia.

China opens new highway near Arunachal Pradesh border
Ananth Krishnan
Nearly 1 billion Yuan project comes to light after seven failed attempts over the past 50 years
China on Thursday opened a new highway that links what the government has described as Tibet’s “last isolated county” – located near the border with Arunachal Pradesh – with the rest of the country and will now provide all-weather access to the strategically important region. Chinese state media have hailed the opening of the highway to Medog – which lies close to the disputed eastern section of the border with India – as a technological breakthrough, with the project finally coming to fruition after seven failed attempts over the past fifty years. China started attempting to build the highway to Medog – a landlocked county in Tibet’s Nyingchi prefecture – in the 1960s, according to State media reports, in the aftermath of the 1962 war with India. With Thursday’s opening of the road, every county in Tibet is now linked through the highway network, underlining the widening infrastructure gulf across the disputed border, even as India belatedly pushes forward an upgrading of border roads in more difficult terrain. The official Xinhua News Agency on Thursday described Medog as “the last roadless county in China”. Before this week, Medog was the only one of China’s 2,100 counties to remain isolated from the highway network, according to State broadcaster China Central Television (CCTV). What the project will do State media reports have focused on the development benefits that the project would bring and have sought to play down the strategic dimensions. Local officials said the road’s opening will bring down commodity prices and widen access to healthcare. The road will also provide access to the border county for nine months of the year. That the government was willing to spend as much as 950 million Yuan – or $ 155 million – on a 117-km highway, with ostensibly few economic returns expected, has underscored the project’s importance to State planners. Local officials said prior to the opening of the highway, reaching Medog required traversing the treacherous Galung La and Doxong La mountains at an altitude of 4,000 metres. With frequent landslides, the road was often rendered impassable. Now, the road will be accessible for “8 to 9 months per year, barring major natural disasters”, Ge Yutao, Communist Party head of the transportation department for the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR), told Xinhua. Work on the 117-km road began in 2009, a year after the project was given the green light by the State Council, or Cabinet. Renewed attention on infrastructure projects The opening of the road comes at a time when there has been renewed attention on infrastructure projects in border areas in India and China. Last week, both countries signed a Border Defence Cooperation Agreement (BDCA) during Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s visit to Beijing, aimed at expanding confidence-building measures. The agreement calls for setting up channels of communication between military commands, increasing the number of border personnel meetings, and formalizing rules such as no tailing of patrols, to build trust and avoid incidents. The agreement does not specify or limit either country’s plans to boost infrastructure – an issue that, analysts say, has in the past triggered tensions along the disputed Line of Actual Control (LAC), most notably in April when a Chinese incursion sparked a three-week-long stand-off in Depsang, Ladakh. Han Hua, a South Asia scholar at Peking University, suggested in a recent interview that the “basic reason” for the incident was “too much construction” along the border. The Chinese side, she acknowledged, did not have to build closer to the disputed LAC because their infrastructure, as well as more favourable terrain enabled quicker mobilisation. “If we don’t have the overall collaboration of the military, policy-makers and decision-makers on both sides,” she said, “it will be difficult to avoid such incidents”. ‘India’s plans will not be limited’ The BDCA, Indian officials said, will not limit India’s plans to upgrade infrastructure. It recognises the principle of equal and mutual security, which allows either side to pursue its security in its own way. At the same time, officials say the BDCA will still help “regulate activity” along the border by opening up new channels of communication, even as the border continues to remain a matter of dispute. On Thursday, Chinese Defence Ministry spokesperson Yang Yujun told a regular press conference that military personnel would hold “regular meetings” and “make joint efforts” to maintain peace in border areas, following the signing of the BDCA. The agreement, he said according to a Xinhua report, “summarised good practices and experiences on the management of differences in China-India border areas”.

Whole Dude – Whole Villain: Archer Kent Blood, the US Consul General at Dacca, East Pakistan sent this “Blood Telegram” to question the US Foreign Policy that utterly failed to denounce the atrocities, the massacre of innocent, unarmed civilians, mostly Hindu minority community living in East Pakistan during 1971 by the military rulers of Pakistan. He sent this telegram as his moral duty to uphold the humanitarian principles.
WHOLE DUDE – WHOLE VILLAIN: Richard Milhous Nixon, 37th President of the United States(1969-1974), and Dr Alfred Henry Kissinger, the National Security Adviser(1969-1975) deserve to be known as Whole Villains for not responding to the problem of genocide in East Pakistan( now known as Bangladesh) during 1971. Their actions are evil, unprincipled, and make mockery of the US Constitution.
The word ‘Villain’ describes a wicked or unprincipled character in a novel, play, etc., who opposes the protagonist or hero. Villain is someone or something regarded as the cause of a problem, difficulty, injustice, or great crime. It speaks about the evil nature of a person, very bad, disagreeable, or objectionable and such a person is often characterized as a ‘scoundrel’. I am pleased to share Ashok Malik’s review of the book “The Blood Telegram – India’s Secret War in East Pakistan” authored by Gary J. Bass. The book reveals Archer Kent Blood, the chief US diplomat in Dacca as the hero or protagonist who had suffered on account of the actions of President Nixon and Dr. Kissinger, the National Security Adviser during 1971 . The real character and nature of President Nixon and Kissinger as ‘Villains’ can be easily discerned by reading this historical story titled “The Blood Telegram.” The book talks of the courage and uprightness of Archer Blood who was a first-hand witness to the genocide in East Pakistan, the oppression of Bengali speaking Pakistanis, the mass murder and elimination of Hindu minorities and the humanitarian crisis that spilled into a massive refugee problem in India. Mr. Blood meticulously reported the massacres, the bloodshed in East Pakistan and had urged the US administration to take action to stop the military dictator of West Pakistan. Mr. Blood suffered greatly for his efforts and devotion to work. He was ignored, singled out and victimized by Dr. Kissinger. Mr. Blood’s career in the US State Department was utterly ruined and destroyed. This book is the story of what Mr. Blood did and how he suffered for being true to his conscience and his calling. It must be noted that the men and women who make up the State Department or work for the Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) are often conscientious, well-meaning folks, schooled in the simplicity and goodness of small-town, middle class life in the heart of America. They are moral people, keen to use their country’s power to make the world a better place. Such conscientious people who belonged to the Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) had rendered their service at a military organization in India known as Special Frontier Force or Establishment No. 22. Both the US President Richard M. Nixon, and Dr. Henry Kissinger, the National Security Adviser must be recognized as “WholeVillains” for their actions were motivated by an unprincipled desire to befriend Communist China without any concern for its involvement in killing its own people during the “Great Leap Forward” program of 1957-58, and during the infamous “Cultural Revolution” of 1966-69. The story reveals how Nixon and Kissinger were blinded by hate for India and Indians. They had visualized Pakistan as an essential ally and gateway to Communist China and had totally ignored the problem of human suffering in the Land that took a very painful birth as Bangladesh after India’s victory in a military battle during November-December 1971.
Gary J. Bass, Professor of Politics & International Affairs at Princeton University is the author of the book titled “The Blood Telegram.” He described the heroic role of Archer Kent Blood, the US Consul General in Dacca(Dhaka), East Pakistan during 1971.Archer Kent Blood(March 20, 1923 to September 03, 2004) was the US Consul General, the Chief US Diplomat in Dacca, East Pakistan during 1971.Whole Dude – Whole Villain: Massacre in East Pakistan during 1971 is fully revealed in this book. This Genocide must not be forgotten and the Villains must be exposed.Whole Dude – Whole Villain: The role of General Yahya Khan, the military ruler of Pakistan, and US President Nixon in the brutal killings of unarmed civilians in East Pakistan during 1971 is now fully revealed. This is their photo image dated October 24, 1970. In this relationship, the US has totally disregarded the value of Democracy and showed no concern for Human Dignity and ignored its traditional role of defending Human Rights.Whole Dude – Whole Villain: The mockery of the US Constitution. Dr. Henry Kissinger is the Arch Villain in this story and he is seen in this photo meeting the leader of another country while the responsibility of conducting diplomacy belonged to the US State Department. Kissinger flew to China from Pakistan and had used Pakistan as a gateway to Communist China. Both of these Villains are responsible for the millions of people who died in the land called East Pakistan during 1971. Kissinger had misused and abused his position as the National Security Adviser. In clear violation of the US Constitution, he had usurped the power of the Secretary of State to conduct secretive, diplomatic negotiations with foreign leaders.
During 1971, I served in a military organization called Establishment No. 22, or Special Frontier Force which in reality represents a military alliance/pact between India, Tibet, and the United States to contain the military threat posed by Communist China’s illegal occupation of Tibet. It must be noted that Nixon had served as Vice President for two terms 1953-1956, and 1957-1960, during the presidency of Dwight David Eisenhower. President Eisenhower and his Secretary of State John Foster Dulles continued President Truman’s policy of containing Communism. In Southeast Asia, Eisenhower supported and had employed the Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) to organize the Tibetan Resistance Movement since 1957-58. Later, President John F. Kennedy took the initiative to formulate the military alliance with India and Tibet that created the Special Frontier Force during 1962. The Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) has represented the US as our military partner and took the initial responsibility to impart the necessary military training to all personnel. The mission of this Organization is that of fighting a war to evict China from the Land of Tibet and the men are not used for spying, or gathering intelligence as undercover agents. The CIA has used the services of this Organization to monitor the nuclear activities of Communist China as China was conducting underground nuclear tests inside Tibet. During 1971-72, in a complete reversal of its foreign policy, the United States allowed the National Security Adviser to change the course of the country and to make decisions on foreign relations without giving any role to the duly appointed Secretary of State. Kissinger used the infrastructure of US State Department to orchestrate a policy that has ignored the vital US national interests and its commitment to Democracy and Freedom. Kissinger had chosen to support Pakistan’s military dictator and had used him to gain access to the Communist Leaders in Peking that paved the way for President Nixon’s visit to China during February 1972. This book reveals as to how Nixon was baffled and annoyed by American sympathies for India and he communicated this opinion to Pakistan’s military dictator General Yahya Khan and observed that Americans could be suffering from a “physiological disorder.” Nixon and Kissinger encouraged other countries to illegally ship their US supplied weapons to Pakistan in violation of US laws that prohibit such transfer of military equipment.
Kissinger had urged China’s Foreign Minister Chou En-Lai to open a second front and attack India to stop India from giving assistance to the people of East Pakistan. As India initiated the Liberation of Bangladesh, Nixon sent the US Seventh Fleet into Bay of Bengal without any concern about India’s logistical support to the US Army that was fighting a bloody war in Vietnam, a war in which Communist China had played a big role to ensure the defeat of the US Army.
WHOLE DUDE – WHOLE VILLAIN: During April 1969, Chairman Mao Tse Tung had selected his Defence Minister Lin Biao as his successor and Lin became the Vice Chairman of the Communist Party. Both of them must be held accountable for the atrocities, the crimes against humanity perpetrated in the name of “Cultural Revolution” during 1966-69.WHOLE DUDE – WHOLE VILLAIN: Lin Biao Defence Minister and Communist Party Vice Chairman, the successor of Chairman Mao Tse Tung was apparently assassinated by Prime Minister Chou En-lai and Chairman Mao Tse Tung on September 13, 1971 as he tried to escape from the country. After his killing, most of the People’s Liberation Army’s Generals of high command were purged. It totally amazes me to know that the US National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger had requested Prime Minister Chou En-Lai to launch a military attack on India during that time to prevent India from taking military action to resolve the humanitarian crisis in East Pakistan.
During 1971, the US National Security Adviser, Dr Henry Kissinger had kept his visit to Peking as a big secret. However, at Special Frontier Force, Establishment No. 22, we were fully aware of his activities. The Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) officials who were serving at Establishment No.22 as military instructors were abruptly asked to return to the United States. Communist China had insisted that it would agree to meet Henry Kissinger and receive him in Peking only after the United States removes all its personnel from India who at that time were employed in the Special Frontier Force/Establishment No. 22. After their departure, India and Tibet had agreed to jointly launch a military action in Chittagong Hill Tracts to initiate the Liberation of Bangladesh and to stop the genocide in East Pakistan.
Whole Dude – Whole Villain: On November 04, 1971, India’s Prime Minister Indira Gandhi made a final attempt to get support from President Richard Nixon to resolve the humanitarian crisis in East Pakistan. By that time, US had already decided to remove all its CIA personnel who were employed as military instructors at Special Frontier Force/Establishment No. 22. However, we began our military operation to initiate Liberation of Bangladesh without any assistance from the US personnel deputed by the CIA.Whole Dude – Whole Villain: India’s Prime Minister Indira Gandhi could not obtain any support from US President Richard Nixon during her visit to Washington D.C. on November 04, 1971. However, it did not deter Special Frontier Force/Establishment No. 22 from initiating our military action to dislodge Pakistan’s Army from East Pakistan. We began our military action on November 03, 1971, a day before this meeting.
INDIA’S SECRET WAR IN EAST PAKISTAN:
WHOLE DUDE – WHOLE VILLAIN: These two leaders, the US President, the military dictator of Pakistan must be held accountable for the genocide in East Pakistan during 1971.WHOLE DUDE – WHOLE VILLAIN – ORIGINAL SIN: The mockery of the US Constitution. The US National Security Adviser, Dr. Kissinger had misused and abused his official position to meet foreign Heads of State to formulate US foreign relations without the participation of the US Secretary of State. I call this Villainous act as “Original Sin”. Both Chairman Mao Tse Tung, and Prime Minister Chou En-Lai were leaders of the “Cultural Revolution” during 1966-69 that participated in crimes against humanity.Whole Dude – Whole Villain: “The Cruel Birth of Bangladesh” by Archer Kent Blood, the US Consul General in Dacca during 1971 describes the Villainy, the detestable acts of Pakistan’s military generals, and US President, and National Security Adviser.
India launched a Secret War in East Pakistan to respond to the huge humanitarian crisis which could not be resolved. United States pretended its ignorance of this whole problem. This military operation was given the code name Operation Eagle. On November 03, 1971, while India’s Prime Minister was visiting Washington D.C. in a final bid to enlist the support of President Nixon, Special Frontier Force without the US personnel moved into Chittagong Hill Tracts. President Richard Nixon had failed to endorse our military action, but we executed this military action using military equipment, field gear and rations provided by the United States. The infantry weapons and all other tools that we had used were the same as those used by the US Army in its Vietnam War. We prevailed in the battlefield and forced Pakistan’s Army to withdraw from their entrenched positions. The official war of India with Pakistan was declared by India’s Prime Minister on December 03, 1971.

SPECIAL FRONTIER FORCE – HIMALAYAN BLUNDER: Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh and Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang signed The Border Defense Cooperation Agreement(BDCA) on Wednesday, October 23, 2013 in Beijing. India and China do not have an internationally recognized common border between the two countries. India’s neighbor Tibet which shares a border with India has not signed this BDCA Agreement,
SPECIAL FRONTIER FORCE – HIMALAYAN BLUNDER: Indian Prime Minister met with People’s Republic of China’s President Xi Jinping on Wednesday, October 23, 2013. Both India, and China very clearly understand that the military occupation of Tibet poses security concerns and the Border Defense Cooperation Agreement(BDCA) that they signed is not valid under international law. They have no legal rights to compromise the territorial integrity of Tibet, a sovereign nation under illegal occupation since 1950.
SPECIAL FRONTIER FORCE – HIMALAYAN BLUNDER: Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh signed a bilateral Border Defense Cooperation Agreement with People’s Republic of China during his most three-day visit to Beijing from October 22, to October 24, 2013. This allows China to exercise control over Indian territory along the entire length of India’s Himalayan Frontier without even fighting a war. Dr. Manmohan Singh must be held accountable for this act of high treason and for giving aid and comfort to India’s enemy who had already illegally occupied Indian territory in Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir.
Dr. Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister of India had visited People’s Republic of China on a three-day visit from Tuesday, October 22, to Thursday, October 24, 2013. On Wednesday, October 23, Indian Prime Minister and Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang had entered into an agreement called The Border Defence Cooperation Agreement(BDCA)for border management while India has no recognized or official border with People’s Republic of China. Six months back, during the month of April 2013, Chinese troops intruded into Indian territory of Depsang Sector, Ladakh Province of India’s Jammu and Kashmir State. India has substantial trade and commerce relationship with China and their bilateral trade rose to $66 billion during 2012. It is claimed that not a shot was fired along the entire Himalayan frontier since 1975. The BDCA may promote an increase in bilateral trade but at the same time it permits China to exercise control on Indian territory along its entire Himalayan frontier without even fighting a war. At a fundamental level, BDCA is not a legitimate agreement as India has not recognized that it shares a common border with People’s Republic of China. Secondly, BDCA may give some legitimacy to Communist China’s illegal occupation of Tibet. In my opinion, BDCA is not a valid agreement and Indian Parliament may not even ratify this bilateral agreement in which Tibet has no representation. Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh must be held accountable for this act of high treason and for giving aid and comfort to India’s enemy who had illegally occupied Tibet, apart from occupying Indian territory in Ladakh Sector.
SPECIAL FRONTIER FORCE – HIMALAYAN BLUNDER: Just six months ago, People’s Republic of China intruded into Depsang Sector(Daulat Beg Oldi) of Ladakh Province. China had already occupied the area known as Aksai Chin and the dispute is not yet settled. The Border Defence Cooperation Agreement(BDCA) signed on October 23, 2013 is not a valid, or legitimate Agreement. Indian Parliament may refuse to ratify this Agreement.
SPECIAL FRONTIER FORCE – HIMALAYAN BLUNDER: Indian Prime Minister signed an agreement with Chinese Prime Minister on October 23, 2013 to come to an understanding to control the Himalayan Frontier and avoid military conflict. This Border Defence Cooperation Agreement(BDCA) has given away Indian territory to China without the need to fight a war. BDCA seriously undermines India’s ability to defend its territory while China still claims India’s North East Frontier Agency or Arunachal Pradesh as its territory. The fact is, India and China do not share a common border. India cannot give legitimacy to China’s military occupation of Tibet.
I am pleased to share an article published by Ravindra Narayan Ravi, former Special Director, India’s Intelligence Bureau who had worked for nearly two decades on the military threat posed by China’s illegal occupation of Tibet. I thank him for speaking on this issue and exposing the fraud without any sense of fear. In the past, I had worked with Intelligence Bureau(Research and Analysis Wing/RAW), and it was a pleasure to patrol along the Lohit River in North East Frontier Agency which is named Arunachal Pradesh. It is the sector where India is particularly strong and had valiantly resisted Chinese aggression during the 1962 War. It is indeed very shocking and makes me sad to read that India is giving away territory on a silver plate. It is a serious insult to the memory of our fallen soldiers who gave their precious lives, and Lohit River bears witness to that sacrifice. At Walong War Memorial, the following tribute was paid by Deputy Commissioner Bernard S Dougal:
SPECIAL FRONTIER FORCE – HIMALAYAN BLUNDER: Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh has insulted the memory of Indian soldiers who had valiantly resisted Communist China’s aggression across the Himalayan Frontier during October-November 1962. This War Memorial was erected in Walong, Anjaw District, Arunachal Pradesh to pay tribute to the fallen soldiers.
The sentinel hills that round us stand Bear witness that we loved our Land; Amidst shattered rocks and flaming pine, We fought and died on Namti Plain. O’ Lohit gently by us glide, Pale stars above us softly shine, As we sleep here in Sun and rain.
SPECIAL FRONTIER FORCE – HIMALAYAN BLUNDER: I served in Special Frontier Force, a military organization that was created during November 1962 as a military alliance/pact between India, Tibet, and the United States. During 1972, I had served in Anjaw District, Arunachal Pradesh and had visited Namtifield or Namti Plains where Indian Army had valiantly resisted People’s Liberation Army of Communist China during the 1962 War.

The border agreement with China is yet another dose of insidious placebos administered on the people of India by their own government that has been in perpetual denial over the steady incremental loss of strategic Indian territory, says R N Ravi. Dr Manmohan Singh, the most widely foreign-travelled among Indian prime ministers, is learnt to have concluded his official foreign visits in his current term as the head of government with his latest trip to Beijing from October 22-24. The seminal achievement of this visit, as being touted by his government, is the Border Defence Co-operation Agreement he signed with Li Keqiang, his Chinese counterpart, on October 23. The agreement is being hailed as a landmark progress in the chronically troubled India-China relationship and a historic achievement of the United Progressive Alliance government towards securing India’s border with China. An observer of India-China border relations is baffled at the banality called the BDCA and shocked at the brazenness with which a repetitive deception on India is being peddled as an important measure for safeguarding India’s territorial interests from China’s strategic belligerence. Status quo at the Line of Actual Control between India and China is at the core of the numerous agreements and protocols signed between the two countries since 1993. However, China has not yet revealed its position on the alignment of the LOAC. India, too, for some obscure and self-defeating reasons, has not yet categorically articulated its position on the geographical alignment of the LOAC. Its failure to do so helps China enormously in sustaining its strategic belligerence at the border. China does not bind itself by articulating its own position on the LOAC and keeps making tactical incremental territorial advances into India to achieve its strategic objectives: a) gain crucial territories in geo-strategically sensitive areas and thereby irreversibly depleting India’s strategic territorial depth imperative for its national defence vis-à-vis China; and b) severely undermine India’s covert and overt potential capabilities for adventures across the border in Tibet or Xinjiang by keeping its own border region perpetually destabilised. There has been some shift in India-China relations in the last over two decades. Quantum jump in trade and commerce between the two countries has somewhat improved the atmospherics of the relationship. On the vexed border issue, there has been a perceptible convergence in the language of reconciliation. The two countries have signed some half a dozen agreements and protocols reiterating mutual restraint and non-aggression at the LOAC. However, in the absence of a mutually agreed LOAC, all the agreements and protocols for maintaining the status quo are no more than mere vacuous expressions of intent that only helps the more powerful of the two. In the absence of a mutually agreed LOAC, the situation becomes all the more irredeemable for an asymmetrically placed India when it does not spell out its own perception of the LOAC. To make matters worse for itself, India restrains its border guarding troops from patrolling its LOAC. Unlike India’s border with Pakistan where Indian troops have their posts at the Line of Control and regularly patrol the LoC, India does not allow its border guarding forces even to venture up to the LOAC. The troops are not allowed to go beyond the Line of Patrolling, a unilaterally chosen retreat position of India that runs far behind the LOAC. With no boots on the ground the Indian stance at the LOAC is militarily untenable. China takes full advantage of this institutionalised military vacuum between the Indian LOAC and the LOP. It moves its troops forward without any resistance. China could not have asked for a better scenario when it steadily gains territory and fulfills its strategic objectives without any resistance. It is a classic illustration of winning a war without a fight, a military doctrine attributed to Sun Tzu, a Chinese military strategist. China has already taken, post-1962 war, a fairly large tract of India’s land in the sub-sector north in Ladakh. Since 2005 and especially after 2009 it has shown enhanced belligerence in this sector and has moved its troops further deep inside the Indian territory beyond its stated claims in 1960 and what it captured in the 1962 war. It has been steadily nibbling into the Shyok valley, an area of crucial strategic significance for India, to maintain a tenable position in this sub-sector and retain its claim at the strategic Karakoram pass linking India with Xinjiang and Central Asia. On the eastern front, in Arunachal Pradesh, during the last four years Chinese military pressure has increased manifold at strategically sensitive points on the border. Its aggressive push since 2008 in Tatu Bowl/Dichu in Anjaw district along the Lohit river is alarming. Today it dominates the only route for Indian patrols to visit the India-China-Myanmar tri-junction. Fearing a likely face-off with the Chinese, India has stopped patrolling this segment of the border. China has, bilaterally, fixed its border with Myanmar at the Diphu Pass at the India-Myanmar border in Arunachal Pradesh, pushing the India-China-Myanmar tri-junction fixed by the McMahon Line down by over eight km. Chinese advance along the Lohit has serious adverse geo-strategic consequences for security in India’s North-East. Ironically, the China’s military belligerence became more pronounced after India and China began talking peace and signing agreements and protocols. The BDCA, the latest among the agreements, is repetitive in its essence and more ambivalent in its language than the previous agreements. The Agreement on the Maintenance of Peace and Tranquility Along the Line of Actual Control signed in September 1993, the first among such agreements, was far more emphatic in its intent and language than the tame and highly ambiguous BDCA. It inter alia states, ‘No side shall overstep the line of actual control’ and adds that ‘in case personnel of one side cross the line of actual control, upon being cautioned by the other side, they shall immediately pull back to their own side of the line of actual control’. On the issue of air intrusion it categorically obligates the two countries ‘to ensure that air intrusions across the line of actual control do not take place’. Contrast these with the corresponding clause Article II of the BDCA: ‘The two sides shall assist the other side in locating personnel… and aerial vehicles that may have crossed or are possibly in the process of crossing the line of actual control in the India-China border areas’. Instead of pressing the Chinese for fixing the LOAC, the core interim issue pending the final settlement of border, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh returned home diluting the earlier commitments of China for non-aggression and assuring the Chinese that our troops will share sweets with their Chinese counterparts on our national days and festivals (article V, BDCA). The BDCA is yet another dose of insidious placebos administered on the people of India by their own government that has been in perpetual denial over the steady incremental loss of strategic Indian territory. It perpetuates the dynamic status quo grossly tilted in favour of China and does not, in any way, safeguard the territorial integrity of India. Land grab by China continues. Chinese aircraft, helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles are intruding into Indian air space in far more numbers than before.

Establishment 22 – Vikas Regiment – Special Frontier Force – Operation Eagle:
Establishment No. 22 – Operation Eagle: This badge represents a military alliance/pact between India, Tibet, and the United States of America. Its first combat mission was in Chittagong Hill Tracts which unfolded on 03 November 1971. It was Code-named Operation Eagle. It accomplished its mission of securing peace in the region that is now known as Republic of Bangladesh.ESTABLISHMENT NO. 22 – OPERATION EAGLE: IT WAS AN ACT OF UNDECLARED WAR ON PAKISTAN SANCTIONED BY PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA TO SECURE PEACE IN THE REGION NOW KNOWN AS THE REPUBLIC OF BANGLADESH.
Under the provisions of International Law, the Laws of War that deal with the nature of armed conflict between nations, and according to the rules of Warfare, the military action called Operation Eagle was an act of “Undeclared War” that was duly sanctioned by the Prime Minister of India. However, it must be noted that this undeclared war of aggression is not a ‘War Crime’ as it serves Bangla refugees in India. The purpose of this War was to secure Peace in the region that is now known as the Republic of Bangladesh. This War of India on Pakistan must not be confused with the War of India on Pakistan that the Prime Minister of India had formally announced to the country on 03 December, 1971. This military action called Operation Eagle unfolded on 03 November, 1971 with violation of territory in Chittagong Hill Tracts that was under the national jurisdiction of the Government of Pakistan. Operation Eagle began with land invasion and on 09 November, 1971, Prime Minister of India sanctioned violation of Pakistan’s airspace in support of this War. Prime Minister of India approved rules of engagement and Battle Plan of Operation Eagle, an act of “Unconventional Warfare.” I am openly demanding that the rules of this game must not be changed after we had played the game and the game is over.
Establishment No. 22 – Operation Eagle: At Mobile Reserve Force, Establishment No. 22, the elder brother of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Gyalo Thondup had spoken to the chief players of Operation Eagle. Tibetan nationals who serve in Establishment No. 22 executed Operation Eagle.Establishment No. 22/Special Frontier Force is military alliance/pact between India, Tibet, and the United States. Major General Sujan Singh Uban, Inspector General Special Frontier Force, Secretary R. N. Kao of Research and Analysis Wing(RAW), and Brigadier T S Oberoi, the Commandant, Establishment No. 22 are seen seated behind the speaker.Establishment No. 22 – Operation Eagle: Most Americans would be able to easily recognize this Vietnam War Era Infantry Assault Rifle. Operation Eagle had used these Rifles with a great success during India’s Undeclared War on Pakistan in 1971. American troops did not participate in this military action but the United States being a partner of the military alliance/pact with India and Tibet could not avoid its participation as Establishment No. 22 chiefly operates using US military equipment and field supplies.This retired Air Force Officer, Parvez Jamasji received Gallantry Award of Vir Chakra for giving air support to my Unit during military action in Chittagong Hill Tracts in 1971. At that time, Flight Lieutenant Parvez Jamasji airlifted my battlefield casualties from the front line to Field Hospital. He belonged to Aviation Research Centre(ARC).
I registered the following petitions/grievances with the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances that relate to my participation in Operation Eagle as a member of Establishment No. 22, the military organization known as Special Frontier Force managed by Directorate General of Security. Cabinet Secretariat administers Special Frontier Force and other organizations such as the Research and Analysis Wing(RAW – Intelligence Bureau), and Aviation Research Centre(ARC).
I want to challenge Ministry of Defence’s refusal to grant gallantry award of “Vir Chakra” that was approved by my Formation Commander Major General Sujan Singh Uban, Inspector General Special Frontier Force based upon a citation that was initiated by Lieutenant Colonel B K Narayan, the Commander of South Column Unit, and the citation was seen by Colonel Iqbal Singh, the Chief of Staff, and was duly reviewed and recommended by the Brigade Commander, Brigadier T S Oberoi. :

THE DESCRIPTION OF GRIEVANCE ABOUT THE SANCTION OF GALLANTRY AWARD – OPERATION EAGLE:
1. A gallantry award is always granted in recognition of a past event and the gallant event would always exist as a past event.
2. In the history of Republic of India, for the first time during 1971, the Prime Minister sanctioned a military action that was not planned by Indian Army/Ministry of Defence.
3. Operation Eagle, in which I had the honour to participate was not planned and executed under orders issued by Army Headquarters/Ministry of Defence.
4. The gallant action which received the recognition for grant of gallantry award did not happen in the context of a border skirmish or that of a border conflict.
5. It was not related to the conventional, official War on Pakistan that was formally declared by the Prime Minister on 03 December, 1971.
6. The gallant action pertains to a deliberate, planned attack deep inside the territory defended by Pakistan’s regular army. I had participated in all the aspects of the planning of this attack, and had physically marched on foot along with the men who had executed the attack.
7. There was no Regimental Aid Post at the border, inside Indian territory of Mizo Hills. The battlefield casualties were treated at the enemy post that we had captured. The treatment of battle casualties began at the site of battle, about 40 miles from the international border.
8. The Brigade headquarters which had the primary responsibility of airlifting battle casualties could not dispatch the helicopter provided by the Aviation Research Centre(ARC) as the Prime Minister did not sanction the violation of Pakistan’s airspace during the first phase of Operation Eagle.
9. I, as the Unit Medical Officer, took the initiative, went beyond the Call of Duty, to ensure a safe, and timely evacuation of the battle casualties to preserve the morale of the men and had shaped the success of this military mission. I had marched a distance of over 80 miles from Sunrise to Sunset to complete my task inside the enemy territory while the enemy was still dispersed in the area.
10. Indian Army concluded its military operation on 16 December 1971. Operation Eagle concluded its military operation during January 1972.
11. The fact that the Prime Minister had established the Eligibility Criteria for the sanction of gallantry awards to the participants of Operation Eagle could be proved by the simple fact that the gallantry award of Vir Chakra was given to Shri. G. B. Velankar, a civilian officer of my Unit who was allowed the use of Major’s rank on a honorary basis. The eligibility criteria, as sanctioned by the Prime Minister, stipulated that only Indian nationals could be granted Indian Army Medals, Decorations, Military Honours, and gallantry awards. The foreign nationals who executed the War were not allowed the grant of those awards.
12. Under the battle plan of Operation Eagle, the Prime Minister did not impose any time restrictions as this War was not a conventional battle that Indian Army routinely fights and participates in its long history of battle tradition.
13. Special Frontier Force had strictly followed the guidelines, and the citation that approved the grant of gallantry award was directly sent to the Director of Medical Services (DMS-Medical Directorate, Army Headquarters) as I was serving at Establishment No. 22 on deputation from the Indian Army Medical Corps. This citation reached the DMS (Army) in a timely manner before the conclusion of Operation Eagle.
14. I am not responsible for delivering the citation to the MS Branch, Ministry of Defence while deployed on operational duty in Chittagong Hill Tracts. Army Medical Directorate failed in the performance of its duty and its failure is unacceptable. I should not be penalized for the failure of Army and its Medical Directorate.

WholeDude-WholeTweet: The Cuckoo of India called “KOEL”, Eudynamys scolopacea symbolizes the thoughts that I “Tweet.”
I only want to be heard and I do not want to be seen. I speak about the relation between sound and echo, the song and the singer, the Creator, and the created.
WholeDude – Whole Artist : An artist uses colors with imagination to create forms and to generate a desired visual effect. A “Whole Artist” is a person who creates his own canvas, his own tools, his own pigments, and creates the desired visual effects while the forms that are created have no such creative and cognitive abilities.
The term artist is used to describe a person who works in, or is skilled in the technique of any of the fine arts, especially in painting, drawing, and sculpture. The term artistry describes the artistic ability which includes the use of imagination, a feeling for form, and a feeling for effect. I am using the term ‘Whole Artist’ to discover the person who may have used imagination to create forms to produce desired effects while the form itself lacks the cognitive abilities to generate its own form. Plants may produce flowers of different colors while they essentially lack cognitive abilities to recognize the visual effect of the color they produce. For example, we can examine the colorful hues of Chilean flowers, Mimulus luteus, Mimulus cupreus(Red Emperor), and Mimulus variegatus.
WholeDude – Whole Artist : Chilean Mimulus flowers. Mimulus luteus. Who is the artist that caused this visual effect?WholeDude – Whole Artist : Chilean Mimulus flowers. Mimulus variegatus. Who is the artist who produced this visual effect?WholeDude – Whole Artist – The Colors of Chilean Mimulus flowers. Mimulus cupreus(Red Emperor). Who is the artist who produced this visual effect?
Arielle Cooley, a researcher at the University of Michigan studied these Chilean Mimulus flowers of different colors and found that the plants make the same type of anthocyanin pigment called cyandin. The study includes Thin Layer Chromatography Analysis of petal extracts. Each flower produces red-hued anthocyanins and the yellow carotenoids. The two pigment types in combination create the fire-hydrant red spots on the yellow flowers of Mimulus luteus. Cooley concluded the observations with the remark: “Like an artist mixing simple colors of paints on a palette to achieve a specific shade, the Chilean flowers achieve their visual effect using varying proportions of red and yellow pigments.”
WholeDude – Whole Artist : The Colors of Chilean Mimulus flowers. Arielle Cooley, a researcher at the University of Michigan used Thin Layer Chromatography analysis of petal extracts to find the mixing of colors that is needed to produce the visual effects observed by Chilean Mimulus flowers of different hues. Who is the artist that produced these visual effects?
Who is the Artist?
Whole Dude – Whole Artist: God created Light and made the Everlasting Covenant using the Colors He created.
No single function can explain the coloration of living things. We need a comprehensive theory that predicts the lines and patterns of coloration of plants and animals. An artist’s palette containing only three properly chosen colors is entirely adequate under most circumstances to produce the various visual effects of color that is observed. The optical mechanisms involved in the production of color are complex. Coloration is a dynamic and complex characteristic and the term must be clearly distinguished from the term ‘color’ which only refers to the spectral qualities of emitted or reflected light. It is apparent that plants, and animals have no cognitive abilities to produce the coloration by which they are recognized. However, the coloration displayed gives us a clue about the nature of the “Whole Artist” who could be using imagination, has feelings for the forms created and seeks satisfaction from the visual effects that he produced. If man has the ability called visual perception, he must use the ability to visualize the “Whole Artist” who is at work.
Whole Dude – Whole Artist: God created Light to add Colors to Life He created.
The term ‘sin’ is portrayed using a variety of terms. The biblical writers describe sin as that condition and activity of human beings that is offensive to God. Sin is revolt against holiness and sovereign will of God. It is both a condition of the heart, mind, will, affections and the practical outworking of that condition in thoughts, words, and deeds that offend God and transgress His holy law. In secular terms, sin means any offense against good morals, any offense against established law of the Land, and any violation of standard code for human behavior and action.
WHOLE DUDE – WHOLE DECLARATION :
WHOLE DUDE – WHOLE SIN : Sin is that condition of the heart, mind, will, affections and the practical outworking of that condition in thoughts, words, and deeds that offend this Declaration of Independence and sin is any action that transgress the intent of this Declaration of Independence upon which the nation called the United States of America is created.
The Declaration of Independence adopted July 04, 1776 to pronounce the creation of the United States spells in very clear, and transparent terms the American ideal of Government based on the Theory of Natural Rights. This Declaration states the philosophy of Human Freedom and the Nation and its Government is formed by Social Contract. United States and its elected officials who represent the entity called Government have to adhere to these founding principles and they must be guided by the Laws of Nature which guarantee unalienable rights of man. Governments are instituted among men to secure their unalienable rights and Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. And for the support of this Human Freedom, we must mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor. In this context, I would like to define the term “WHOLE SIN” as a condition of the heart, mind, will, affections and the practical outworking of that condition in thoughts, words, and deeds that offend the Declaration of Independence and transgress the Laws of Nature.
WHOLE DUDE – WHOLE MEMORIAL :
Memorial is anything that serves to help people to remember some person or event. I would like to share the photo images of the Vietnam Veterans War Memorials to remind people that we fought these wars to contain the threat posed by Communism to the doctrine of Human Freedom, and the Rule of Governance called Democracy.
Whole Dude – Whole Sin : Remember the Vietnam War. America called its sons and daughters to pledge their Lives, their Fortunes and their sacred Honor to fight the Enemy called Communism.
WHOLE DUDE – WHOLE SIN – SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS VIETNAM VETERANS MEMORIAL . This monument reminds people that the sons and daughters of the United States of America have pledged their Lives, their Fortunes, and their sacred Honor to defend Human Freedom, and Democracy and fought the Enemy called Communism.
WHOLE DUDE – WHOLE SIN – THE ORIGINAL SIN OF NIXON AND KISSINGER :
WHOLE DUDE – WHOLE SIN : The prophesy revealed by Father Moses in The Old Testament, The Fifth Book of Moses, The Book of Deuteronomy, Chapter 28, verses 47 to 50 has come true in the lives of American people. The RED DRAGON, The People’s Republic of China, The Communist nation is the Enemy that Americans will be forced to serve like slaves.
WHOLE DUDE – WHOLE SIN : This photo image is the evidence for the “Original Sin.” Chairman Mao Zedong, and Prime Minister Zhou-Enlai are guilty of the crime called “GENOCIDE.” The UN Convention of 1949 defined the crime of Genocide; the systematic destruction by government of a racial, religious, or ethnic group. Dr. Henry Alfred Kissinger of National Security Affairs is guilty of the crime called the misuse and abuse of power. His sinful actions represent the violation of the Supreme Law established by the Constitution of The United States of America. He usurped the powers entitled to the Secretary of State. He conducted secret diplomacy before he was administered the oath to the Office and before he pledged his allegiance to the Constitution.
In the history of the nation called The United States of America, President Richard Milhous Nixon(37th president of the US 1969-1974), and Dr. Henry Alfred Kissinger( initially appointed by President Nixon in 1969 as an adviser, National Security Affairs and later the Secretary of State from September 1973-1977) are guilty of the offense called ‘The Original Sin’ for they transgressed the Supreme Law of this nation. We have to recognize China’s Cultural Revolution of 1966 – 1969 as a mass campaign sponsored by the Communist government to commit “GENOCIDE.” Many thousands died and there was no proper accounting of the atrocities committed and there was never a full inquiry of this human tragedy. The Cultural Revolution officially ended in 1969, but we all know that many of its excesses continued until the death of Communist Party leader Mao – TseTung in 1976. In the words that I chose from The Old Testament, The Fifth Book of Moses, The Book of Deuteronomy, Chapter 28, verses 47 to 50, I describe their actions of “WHOLE SIN” and its consequences as follows:
“Because you did not serve the LORD your God joyfully and gladly in the time of prosperity, therefore in hunger and thirst, in nakedness and dire poverty, you will serve the enemies the LORD sends against you. The LORD will bring a nation against you from far away, from the ends of the Earth, like an eagle swooping down, a nation whose language you will not understand, a fierce-looking nation without respect for the old or pity for the young.”
I would like to share some of these photo images that reveal the transgression of Natural Law and its consequences. The people of The United States of America having failed to serve the LORD GOD joyfully and gladly in the time of prosperity, will now serve the Enemy that LORD sent against them.
WHOLE DUDE WHOLE SIN : February 21, 1972. President Richard Nixon with Communist leader Mao-Tse Tung in Peking(Beijing). Chairman Mao represents the Face of Crimes Against Humanity. The UN Convention of 1949 has defined the crime of Genocide as a systematic destruction by a government of a racial, religious, or ethnic group. When this photo was taken, the United States was officially engaged in a battle in Vietnam to contain the direct threat posed by Communism. China’s Communist Party leader is the face of that Enemy.
WHOLE DUDE – WHOLE SIN : Communist China’s Premier Zhou En-Lai and the US National Security Adviser Dr. Henry Alfred Kissinger are the faces that represent the Original Sin, they are guilty of the offense called transgression of Law. William P. Rogers was the Secretary of State from 1969 to 1973. Dr. Kissinger had usurped the powers of the Secretary of State and had misused and had abused his office to conduct secret diplomatic negotiations with the Enemy while the United States was openly fighting a grim battle to contain the threat of Communism in Vietnam.

George Herbert Walker Bush who later became CIA’s Director on January 30, 1976 is also seen in this photo. Both President Ford and George Bush were fully aware of America’s partnership with India, and Tibet to fight the military threat posed by Communism.
Whole Dude-Whole Sin : January 30, 1979. The White House Ceremony. President James Earl Carter(39th president of the US 1977-1981) with Chinese Communist Party leader Teng Hsiao Ping. Does the Declaration of Independence envisage friendly relations with the Communists?
Whole Dude – Whole Sin : April 26, 1984. President Ronald Wilson Reagan(40th president of the US 1981-1989) with China’s Communist Party leader and President Li Xiannian. President Reagan, who demanded the tearing down of the ‘Berlin Wall’, could not be a friend of the Communists.
Whole Dude-Whole Sin : February 25, 1989. President George Herbert Walker Bush(41st president of the US 1989-1993) riding the bike given by China’s Communist Party leader, Premier Li Pang in Beijing. President Bush who had earlier served as the Director of CIA is fully aware of the US military alliance/pact with India, and Tibet to face the military threat posed by Communist China’s occupation of Tibet since 1950.
Whole Dude-Whole Sin : June 27, 1998. President William Jefferson Clinton(42nd president of the US 1993-2001) with China’s Communist Party leader and Premier Li Peng in Beijing. A willingness to serve the Enemy.
Whole Dude-Whole Sin : February 21, 2002. President George W. Bush(43rd president of the US) with China’s Communist Party leader, President Jiang Zemin in Beijing. Communist China’s lack of respect for Human Rights should deter the United States from pursuing this path of self-destruction.
Whole Dude-Whole Sin : Friday, June 07, 2013. President Barack Obama with China’s Communist Party leader and President Xi Jinping. The prophesy predicted in the Book of Deuteronomy, Chapter 28, verses 47-50 is coming true.
Whole Dude-Whole Sin : Saturday, June 08, 2013. Rancho Mirage, California. President Barack Obama with China’s Communist Party leader, President Jiang Zemin. The word ‘Mirage’ describes an Optical Illusion, something that falsely appears to be real. American Citizens have to wake up to the reality of the Enemy who has arrived on their shores from a distant land.( The Book of Deuteronomy, Chapter 28, verses 47-50.)
The Supreme Law of the United States of America is called The Constitution of The United States of America. The Constitution was preceded by The Declaration of Independence, the written document that pronounced the creation of the nation called The United States of America. I am respectfully claiming that the elected representatives and other officials that constitute the Government have transgressed the Laws of the nation when they began the unholy relationship with Communist China which is opposed to Human Freedom, and the principle of governance by Social Contract called Democracy.

Whole Dude – Whole Declaration: Thomas Jefferson(b. April 13, 1743 – d. July 04, 1826), 3rd President of the United States(1801-1809), the principal author of The Declaration of Independence adopted July 04, 1776. It was a declaration of the principles to support the demand for Independence. His personal commitment to its principles was profound and intense. He became a symbol of the ideals expressed in the Declaration.
DECLARATION FOR FREEDOM FROM TYRANNY AND UNJUST RULE:
The Declaration of Independence is the most important of all American historical documents. It is one of the great political documents of the West. The Declaration was drafted at the Second Continental Congress while the delegates of the thirteen colonies convened in Philadelphia had decided to proclaim freedom from British rule and wanted to make a formal pronouncement of their rights as people to form a government by choice. The Declaration affirmed the natural rights of man and the doctrine of government by contract. The Declaration gives a detailed enumeration of specific grievances and injustices and contended that the colonies had the right and duty to revolt.
Whole Dude – Whole Declaration: Jefferson Memorial in Washington, DC. Jefferson stated that the Declaration was intended to be an expression of the American mind. He intended to translate its principles into practice and to create in America a society in which the gap between aspiration and achievement would be narrowed. The US had erected the Memorial and has yet to reduce the gap between ideals and the reality of Independence where man’s natural rights are defended by a representative government.
DECLARATION OF NATURAL RIGHTS AND THE RIGHT TO REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT:
Jefferson rarely made speeches, disliked oral disputes, and he preferred pen as the natural means of his expression. He wrote a political pamphlet, “A Summary View of the Rights of British America” (1774), arguing on the basis of natural-rights theory, he claimed: “The God who gave us life gave us liberty at the same time: The hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them.” It was the fact of his commitment to the principles of the Declaration and not the mere fact of literary authorship that makes Jefferson a unique symbol of Independence. Jefferson was clearly inspired by John Locke(1632 – 1704), English philosopher and founder of British School of thought known as ‘Empiricism’. Locke was a leading philosopher of freedom and in his political theory , he maintained that the original state of nature is happy and is characterized by reason and tolerance; all human beings are equal, and free to pursue “life, health, liberty, and possessions.” The state formed by the Social Contract is guided by the natural law which guarantees those natural inalienable rights.
Whole Dude – Whole Declaration: John Locke developed a ‘Social Contract’ theory which helped to formulate the liberal, social, economic, and ethical theory of the 18th century. Locke epitomized the Enlightenment’s faith in the middle class, in the new science and in human goodness.
DECLARATION OF FIRM RELIANCE UPON DIVINE PROVIDENCE:
While Jefferson drew upon the English and French Enlightenment as sources for his ideas, and used language to structure his argument to closely parallel the natural rights theories of Locke, he made a great exception. Jefferson substituted the “pursuit of happiness” for “possessions” in the trinity of inalienable natural rights. In this one key aspect, Jefferson used ‘Natural Law’ instead of natural rights theory. Jefferson showed acute awareness of the problem of corruption caused by concentration of wealth, and property in the hands of a few individuals. He emphasized public duty rather than personal choice. He thought that happiness is attainable only by diligent cultivation of civic virtue. The Declaration reads: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.— That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…… And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honour.” Jefferson suggested that man’s pursuit of Happiness and other rights demands a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence. If man finds satisfaction under the protection of Divine Providence, he would not claim the right to disproportionate wealth, income, possessions, and property.
Whole Dude – Whole Declaration: Thomas Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence seeking natural inalienable rights was made seeking support with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence. The operation of Divine Providence is the central requirement if man has the natural, inalienable rights to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
DECLARATION OF FREEDOM FROM UNEMPLOYMENT:
Jefferson had correctly predicted that the Rulers would become corrupt and abuse their power, and the people “will forget themselves, but in the sole faculty of making money, and will never think of uniting to effect a due respect for their rights.” Jefferson stated that a representative government would operate successfully only under certain conditions: 1. a wide distribution of property or the availability of a substitute that provided men with decent subsistence honestly earned, 2. an educated and informed population, and 3. laws and institutions designed to compensate for the diminution of public virtue that was sure to come when the crises of the revolution were over. While he was the Secretary of State( from September 1789), Jefferson came to distrust the proposals and the motives of the Secretary of Treasury Alexander Hamilton. Jefferson thought Hamilton’s financial programs were both unwise and unconstitutional and felt that the financial policy was flowing “from principles adverse to liberty.” He had openly expressed his disagreement in opposing Hamilton’s policies for they exceeded the powers delegated to the Federal Government by the Constitution, they were contrary to the interests of the majority of the people, and that they represent a threat to public institutions. Eventually, Jefferson resigned on December 31, 1793 for he was dissatisfied with issues like the bill incorporating a “Bank of the United States.” Jefferson’s plan for comprehensive reform of the laws and institutions of Virginia included an effort to secure abolition of the laws in order to discourage concentration of property in the hands of a few great landowners. He believed that property was among the natural rights to which man was born and that it meant the right to a decent means of subsistence. “Whenever there is in any country, uncultivated lands and unemployed poor, it is clear that the laws of property have been so far extended as to violate natural right. The earth is given as a common stock for man to labor and live on.” Jefferson held that a representative government cannot flourish in conditions of extreme poverty or complete economic dependence. Jefferson as the US President reduced internal taxes, the military budget was cut, and made plans to extinguish the public debt. Simplicity, and frugality became the hallmarks of Jefferson’s administration.
DECLARATION OF INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM:
Whole Dude – Whole Declaration: Jefferson was passionate in his commitment to intellectual freedom. He had authored the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom. He stated, “I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.”
Jefferson authored the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom which had initially faced very stiff opposition. The Statute constituted a complete break with the traditional relationship between Church and State. Freedom of Mind and Freedom of Conscience to let people form their own opinions without favor or fear is a great accomplishment of his life. Jefferson’s bill on religious liberty reads: “that all men shall be free to profess, and by argument to maintain, their opinions on matters of religion, and that the same shall in no wise diminish, enlarge, or affect their civil capacities.” The Bill got passed in 1786 by James Madison and Jefferson thanked him and sent him a letter which reads: “The reason of man may be trusted with the formation of his own opinions.”
DECLARATION OF FREEDOM FROM IGNORANCE:
Whole Dude – Whole Declaration: Jefferson recognized the importance of Education for an informed public opinion. His major accomplishment was the founding(1819) of The University of Virginia at Charlottesville.
Whole Dude – Whole Declaration: Jefferson believed in Freedom maintained through Education. Educators at this University of Virginia and other places of higher education must continue to investigate the reasons for inequalities among men. Men are born equal, but live their entire lives coping with unjust inequalities.
Jefferson’s comprehensive plan for a representative government had included a plan for the educational system. Ignorant people could not make rational, and responsible decisions about public affairs. Education provides an opportunity to the development of talents and capabilities suited for public office. However, he had cautioned that educational opportunity must not be identified with economic privileges. I want to know as to what our students and educators think about the extreme concentration of wealth in the hands of a few people in this country.
DECLARATION OF FREEDOM FROM VANITY:
Whole Dude – Whole Declaration: Jefferson authored the epitaph that was inscribed on his tombstone. “Here was buried Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of American Independence, of the Statute of Virginia for Religious freedom, and father of the University of Virginia.” He was a great author who declared his Freedom from Vanity.
Jefferson died on July 04, 1826, the 50th anniversary of the proclamation of the Declaration of Independence. He had directed us to remember only three achievements in his public life that symbolize his quest for true human freedom. Unfortunately his predictions about people who govern and people who get governed have come true.
DECLARATION OF FREEDOM FROM INEQUALITY:
Whole Dude – Whole Declaration: Thomas Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence could not bring the Freedom from Inequality in personal income and wealth.
Whole Dude- Whole Declaration: The ideals and principles contained in the historical document known as ‘The Declaration of Independence’ could not be translated into reality. In the United States, rulers have become corrupt, they pursued economic, trade, and commerce policies that caused a huge chasm between aspirations and accomplishments of this independent nation. National, and personal indebtedness has grown to unimaginable levels while very few individuals have amassed immense personal wealth. Employment opportunities are lost as the country depends upon products and services that are entirely imported from foreign countries like People’s Republic of China where people have no representative government. United States lacks an informed population while people use education as a tool for economic privilege. There are no laws and institutions to compensate for the diminution of public virtue.
This should not come as a big surprise to read about gross inequalities in the distribution of wealth within the United States. The suspicions of Thomas Jefferson have come true. The rulers have become corrupt, and the people are only concerned about increasing their personal wealth. Education is not a tool for informed public opinion, and it simply serves the greed to satisfy the desire for economic privilege. There are no laws and there are no institutions to compensate for the diminution of public virtue. The government no longer represents an institution created by social contract. The government is following financial policies that eroded the liberty, freedom, and equality of the people. The clearest evidence for the loss of Freedom is the phenomenal increase of national and private indebtedness and the dependence upon foreign capital to run the daily operations of the government. Freedom is at peril in the United States and I am afraid that ‘The Declaration of Independence’ would be a mere historical document worthy of its being exhibited in a museum.

Whole Dude – Whole Equality: Jean Jacques Rousseau, Swiss-French philosopher, writer, and political theorist was one of the great figures of the French Enlightenment and he continues to inspire the Romantic generation.
Jean Jacques Rousseau(b. June 28, 1712 Geneva, Switzerland – d. July 2, 1778 France) was one of the great figures of the French Enlightenment and he had shaped 19th-century Romanticism. Enlightenment is the term for the rational, liberal, humanitarian, and scientific trend of 18th century Western thought. During 17th century, Empiricism of Francis Bacon, John Locke, and others fostered the belief in “Natural Law”, Natural or Universal Order, promoted a scientific approach to political and social issues. It gave rise to a sense of human progress, and State is viewed as its rational instrument. Other representatives of the Enlightenment are thinkers such as Voltaire, Montesquieu, Adam Smith, Swift, Hume, Kant, G.E. Lessing, Beccaria, and in the United States, Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin. Rousseau had inspired the French revolutionists and had influenced Kant, Goethe, Robespierre, and Tolstoy. The Romantics are associated with belief in a return to nature and in the innate goodness of man.
WHOLE MAN – WHOLE NATURAL – WHOLE EQUAL:
In response to a question set by the Academy of Dijon: “What is the origin of the inequality among men and is it justified by natural law?”, Rousseau(1754) proposed that natural man is good. He traced the successive stages by which man has descended from primitive innocence to corrupt sophistication. He exonerated nature and blamed society for the emergence of vices. He maintained that human beings are essentially ‘good’ and ‘equal’ in the ‘State of Nature’, but are corrupted by the introduction of property, agriculture, science, and commerce when people began to compete with one another. In his view, the history of man’s life on earth has been a history of decay. However, he did not advocate a return to the state of nature. He suggested minimizing social inequalities by explaining the concept of ‘Social Contract'(1762). He held that people entered into a “Social Contract” among themselves, establishing governments, and educational systems to correct the inequalities brought about by the rise of civilization. Thus, ‘Social Contract’ is the agreement by which human beings are said to have abandoned the ‘State of Nature’ in order to form society in which they now live. This belief in man’s natural goodness is the cornerstone of Rousseau’s argument. The problem is that of man’s alienation from nature and hence the loss of innocence. “Man was born free, but he is everywhere in chains.” Rousseau had profound impact on people’s way of life. In his novel Emile(1762), Rousseau expounds his theory that the true purpose of education is not imparting of knowledge but the drawing out of what is already in the child. Rousseau opened men’s eyes to the beauties of nature and made liberty an object of almost universal aspiration.
We have not yet overcome the problem of inequalities among men and man has not yet discovered true freedom. Freedom, and Equality cannot be discovered if man remains alienated from his true or real nature. To achieve Whole Equality, Whole Liberty, Whole Freedom, Whole Justice, Whole Peace, Whole Harmony, and Whole Tranquility, men need the concept called ‘Whole Dude’ to formulate a new Whole Contract to establish Whole Governance based upon Whole Democracy that includes Whole Transparency, and Whole Accountability.
