Ajit Doval 007 | 1 min.

The former Kerala cadre IPS officer, spy-master and the current National Security Adviser Shri Ajit Kumar Doval is one of the most talked-about people online and offline. Here, we will share a few stories from his meticulous and daring career:

  • Doval was one of three negotiators along with diplomat Vivek Katju and C D Sahay, intelligence officer of the R&AW, who negotiated the release of passengers from IC-814 flight that was hijacked to Kandahar in 1999.[4] Uniquely, Doval has the experience of being involved in the termination of all 15 hijackings of Indian Airlines aircraft from 1971–1999. 
  • In Punjab he was behind the rescue of Romanian diplomat Liviu Radu. He was inside the Golden Temple in Amritsar in 1988 before Operation Black Thunder to collect critical information. An year later, he lead an IB team along with the Punjab police and NSG in the same operation to evacuate terrorists from the Golden Temple in Amritsar. 
  • He went to Kashmir in 1990 and persuaded militants (like Kuka Parray) to become counter-insurgents targeting hard-line anti-India terrorists. 
  • In June 2014, Doval played a crucial role in ensuring secure return of 46 Indian nurses who were trapped in a hospital in Tikrit, Iraq. After the family members lost all contacts from these nurses, following the capture of Mosul by ISIS. Doval, on a top secret mission flew to Iraq on 25 June 2014 to understand the position on the ground and make high-level contacts in the Iraqi government. Although, the exact circumstances of their release are unclear, on 5 July 2014, ISIS militants handed the nurses to authorities at Erbil city and two specially arranged planes by Indian Government brought them back home to Kochi.

The Attitude of Justice | Story of King Prahlad | 1 min.

A beautiful story about King Prahlad: Once, his son, Virochan, got into an argument with his Guru’s son Sudhanva. Virochan said, “I am superior to you because I am the son of a king.” Sudhanva claimed, “I am superior because I am the son of a Rishi.” They were both young, and in their impetuousness, they laid bets. Both said, “Whoever is proved superior will live while the other will have to die.” Now, who would be the judge? Sudhanva said to Virochan, “Your father, Prahlad, will be the judge.” Virochan exclaimed, “Really! But then you will complain that he has been partial.” “No, my father, Rishi Angiras, has said that your father Prahlad is perfectly just, and will never differentiate between friend and foe.” The two boys went to Prahlad. Virochan asked, “Father, am I superior or Sudhanva?” Prahlad said, “Why did this question arise?” “Father we have laid bets that whoever is proved superior will remain alive while the other will have to die.” Prahlad smiled and said, “Your friend...

Davood, Aamir, Bollywood and the Islamic Underworld | 9 mins.

Read this gallant article by Dushyant Chauhan, a young blogger. He wrote this article as an answer on Quora to the slow Islamization of Bollywood. Citing this and some of his other answers, he was banned from Quora. Many such eminent Quorans met the same fate on the forum, their depiction of bare truth being branded as communalism. Does the world end with you Mr.Adam D'Angelo? It doesn't.  Now brace yourself readers for his answer: Lets us start with the Bollywood era around 30–40 years back when Manoj Kumar was producing stellar patriotic movies like “Purab aur Pashcim”. These movies projected India and the Hindu culture in a very very positive light. In this era one could easily see devotional songs to Hindu gods being a part of the movies with Bhajans being not uncommon. You do not see much negative portrayal of Hinduism nor any criticism.  We need to see this very interesting scenario of two very very famous Indian celebrities in this era. One is a male named Yus...
