Is the Pen Still Mightier than Sword?

A loosing battle! A Prez, loosing his grip. A war veteran! What all I cannot say about this person? An idea in the mind, a thought in the brain, love on the tongue, and weapons in the arm. I am talking about the person who has created a history between lines. A line drawn parallel between two words: Control and Fire. But still, only a word comes in my mind when I think of this person Aboriginal. After many abortive attempts to take into the possession of the area further behind the Line of Control, the president comes to the other side with Line of Fire. Its very arduous to be on the side of either of the people , every one is diplomatic now days, but then , what you once portray , it remains in you , and the truth once out can never be hidden. There maybe hundred of counters to the particular truth, and even though the truth maybe a lie in itself, but then it may and will always pave a way open for the other truths which until now were unknown and hidden. These were the ones which never thought about, leave apart being open to the ‘erthzens (my slang for residents of Earth including animal). Coming to the latest to be Best Seller, to be maybe the most Argued and Debated book on the various topics oh, topic concerned to the most 'contra topics of the Decade, this book is here to stay and create a history. More than an Autobiography I believe this book to be a debate among the world's one of the most powerful and the controversial countries of all times.
Let me take an excerpt from the famous newspaper of our times:
"General Musharraf readily accepted our invitation and came to Delhi. But at Agra, during our talks, he took a stand that the violence that was taking place in Jammu and Kashmir could not be described as 'terrorism'. He continued to claim that the bloodshed in the state was nothing but the people's battle for freedom," Vajpayee said.

"At the 2001 Agra summit, I told Vajpayee bluntly that there seems to be someone above the two of us who had the power to overrule us. I also said that today both of use had been humiliated. He sat there, speechless"

Well, did he? Whatever must have been the scenario, Vajpayeeji and the General knows, and to strengthen the statement of the general, Vajpayeeji never cross questioned this in his latest backlash to the president. What the point here is that, is India still trying to be under pressure? Was it justified of Vajpayee not to comment on this when this was portrayed forward by the General? On the counter it was said by the so called ,one of the to be thought most powerful leader of the Indian post Independence Era, that it was 'Fight of Freedom' as portrayed then by the general. But why was it not put out then? Does the citizens of the country not supposed to know by its elected Government the reason for the failure, rather than , the same being brought up by a demagogue (as thought by a million ) in a strident and minatory way.

Well looking at the excepts of the book published in many places of the web, it has shown that though in this age , wars are fought through Nukes etc, today a debate can still be picked up with a pen . What it shows is that India still today is not autonomous, it is being continuously being governed by somebody and that some body is nothing by Money and Egoism and the Governing party here is corruption and ego. This may look something out of context, but then why I would like to get this up here, if we get a chance to look up at a particular page , in the book , where the General tries to Blame the most powerful agency of the world, it has cross fired and have even asked the general to change the required lines or words, on the contrary when half of the book may have been lashed against a nation like India, people here would be sitting in their cozy chairs in the good to be coming winters and praise the either of the two countries after reading the book. Some fledging reviewers may give their views but those would be long forgotten and discarded the same very day.
What I am trying here is not to be choleric, but I want to bring out the crass nature of the writer of the book, where in the issue of Kashmir, which has been in the Climactic issue since over a long time, and deciduous for the neighboring country, has been tried to be pulled ahead again, in a very fallacious manner.

P.S I hate to be a Connoisseur
