RAPE PLUNDER FALSITY: WHAT AWAITS INDIA UNDER THE COMMAND OF GENERAL BIPIN RAWAT


Far away from the glittering shines of the modern world, in the barren deserts of Central Africa, in an unfortunate and accursed country called “The Democratic Republic of Congo”, crawl some toddlers who call themselves the “Children of The Peacekeepers.” These kids whose parentage is a fact folded in mystery and ambivalence, are the only remaining memories of a UN Contingent which once administered a reign of terror in these godforsaken marshlands. The said contingent not only transgressed the limits prescribed in the UN Charter but also receded to a level which at the least was an insult to the very concept of international peacekeeping.Rape of innocent women, Abuse of authority, Torture of the captives and Plunder of the masses became an every day routine in the country which already had seen more than 3 decades of civil war. Woes and Miseries, of these Lesser Children Of God who by virtue of their fate came at the receiving end of the “Services” rendered by this contingent, piled up rapidly. Horrendous stories of misdeeds became such a regular narration that they attainted the statusoffolklores which still continue to draw tears in many eyes.UN for the first time in its history had to reprimand a serving contingent and demanded adequate and stern action against the “Culprits.”The demand in its very self was a sick and inconsiderate joke as the referred-to “Culprit”was the entire fabric of the then incumbent contingent which included ranks and files alike. Any meaningful and deserving action against the top brass of the contingent was neither intended nor desired, all that was required of the reprimand exercise was an eyewash aimed at the international donors. A farce was thus conducted and several junior officers and soldiers were sacrificed at the altar of redemption. The senior lot and the persona- designata in command was not only let off but later decorated for this “Praise Worthy Performance.” We talk of this 2008 deformed chapter of history today because the “Contingent” we refer to was the “Indian Army” contingent of MONUSCOand the man in-charge of this mission was the one who most recently got promoted to the four star rank of the Chief of The Army Staff of India “General Bipin Rawat.”


“Bipin Rawat” in 2008 had, in addition to his fortunes, credentials on his side, which not only made him a blue-eyed boy of the Indian militarybut also placed him on a podium which lied above the concept of accountability. Rawat was the son an erstwhile Lt. General and thus his immediate commanders were the juniors of his late daddy, Rawat also hailed from the “Rajput” clan which in the cast ridden Indian society is an attribute potent enough to cleanse misdemeanors of the highest order. It is for the foregoing reasons that when many others were subjected to court-martials and inquiries under UN pressure then Brigadier Bipin Rawat sailed through the high seas of liability.


Bipin Rawat in addition to this assignment has many other feathers in his hat which played a vital role in the Supersession of 2 senior Generals of the Indian Army (In Terms Of Practicality Only 1 General Officer i.e. Lt. Gen. Parveen Bakhshi Was Superseded, The Other Gentleman Lt. Gen. P. M. Hariz Was Deemed To Loose The Battle In Any Case Owing To His Muslim Faith). In the midst of 2015 a recently crowned “Modi Sarkar” proclaimed before the national / international press that, in response to an attack on the 6th Dogra RegimentatManipur which resulted in the death of 18 soldiers, a cross-border operation has been conducted inside the sovereign territory of Myanmar. The operation which was very affectionately code-named “Golden Bird II” was publicized and flaunted with utmost zeal and valor. Foul mouthed Indian ministers and MPs brought to use all the oxygen in their lungs to boast that this operation is tectonic shift in the geo-strategic realms of the region. The tectonic shift but proved to be a mechatronic drift when the Government of Myanmar within 48 Hours not only Rebutted the claims but also called the same as Absurd. Very few know that man who in his capacity as a Commander of the Southern Commandexhibited the audacity to publically lie in uniform and supplemented the concocted version of the political government was none other than Lt. Gen. Bipin Rawat. It is most probably this selfless or rather shameless service which brought General Rawat in the eyes of the incumbent political masters.


General Rawat has also held the dishonor of serving at length in the resistive valley of Indian Occupied Kashmir. At different occasion and in different capacities Rawat commanded Infantry battalion, brigade and division. His last stint as the General Officer Commanding of the Baramulla based 19th Division is saturated with the most abhorrent negations ofHuman Rights. A bird’s eye view, on the reports issued by various reputable organizations such as the H.R.W&the AmnestyInternationalon the situation of Human Rights in the valley during the Commandership of then Maj. General Rawat, will reveal that his was a tenure of tyranny and ferocity in which the masses suffered to their maxima. General Rawat used his office and the men under his command to instill fear in the hearts of the locals and strengthen the grip of occupation forces by enhancementof existent oppression. General Rawat also over saw the distribution of monetary bribes to politicians in the valley, a fact later revealed by his then Chief and the incumbent state minister General V K Singh. Anyone with acute knowledge of the affairs prevailing in Indian Armyknows that the commanders who oversee such fiscal distributions guarantee themselves with a luxurious post-retirement life. General Rawat was obviously No Exception.


Strategic Stability in South-Asia, which was once referred to by the erstwhile U.S PresidentBill Clinton as the “Most Dangerous Place On The Face Of Mother Earth”, is to a large extent dependent on the situation& developments in India. With the advent of General Bipin Rawat India in general and its military in particular must now embrace for an era filled with malice, abuse, rapes and fictitious but daunting lies.


Felonies Of The Man With A Deplorable Past Are Now All Set To Muddle The Tranquility Of The Region With A Nuclear Horizon.

[Politico]

As a journalist I find this article to be gutterish and slanderish with simply no foundation for attack on the subject matter. The subject matter is being attacked on the following premises:-

1. his subordinates allegedly misbehaved whilst on a UN peacekeeping mission. No mention is made of how that implicates him (did he turn a blind eye? did he assist his contingent to misbehave? etc)

2. he was promoted over two other generals , one being a Hindu and the other a Muslim. The Hindu is conveniently overlooked but issue is joined with the Muslim being overlooked because allegedly he is a Muslim . Even is that was the position (and let's imagine that it was only another Muslim general vying for the post and he was overlooked because he is Muslim)...how does that make the appointee a lesser person for accepting the post ?

I opened this thread hoping to pick up something juicy about the General which I could follow up on. Instead, all that I did was let out a good chuckle and marked this article as an example of bad journalism to highlight to the next class which I lecture to

 

[Aasimkhan]

the behavior of UN troops in Congo was not due to Rawat.
Pakistani and Bangladeshi troops were equally implicated in fathering of kids with Congo women

Pakistan has cleanest record in entire UN in Sexual Exploitation. Please don't compare Pakistan Army with Indian Army in this respect. Indian army is worst than pigs in this respect.

 

[salarsikander]

The general in Kashmir was merely following his orders nothing sensational about it

some of the allegation did come up after his appointment (in Indian media).. except the muslim being superseded bit...
Two issues are concerning(leaving specific person aside).. one the guy superseding others, and second one, ex-generals joining politics and fighting elections.... this will lead to politicization of army.. you will have pro BJP and pro Congress chiefs..

A lots of macho 'words' and terms are used in this article .
Only one sentence expose the stupidity of this so called blogger and it shows the readon for the pathetic situation of society that she represents .
She couldnt tell why General Rawat superseded Lt Gen Parveen but she was in his first class idiotic fortune teller mode when she said ,Lt Gen Hariz was rejected because he is a Muslim. Actually what kind of stupidity is this ?
We had Muslim Supreme Commanders in Rashtrapati Bhavan.

You and your seniors who are trying to do propaganda against our army chief do not know how to do propaganda first.

You have only written positive points against our chief in your article.

Then they all are criminal, including Rawat

1. his subordinates allegedly misbehaved whilst on a UN peacekeeping mission. No mention is made of how that implicates him (did he turn a blind eye? did he assist his contingent to misbehave? etc)

2. he was promoted over two other generals , one being a Hindu and the other a Muslim. The Hindu is conveniently overlooked but issue is joined with the Muslim being overlooked because allegedly he is a Muslim . Even is that was the position (and let's imagine that it was only another Muslim general vying for the post and he was overlooked because he is Muslim)...how does that make the appointee a lesser person for accepting the post ?

Article is from Pakistan so I can understand its supposed to b rubbish...carry on..only true journalism come out from India..

You are very objective and rational please keep it up. It was a pleasure reading your conclusion.

Sometime reading articles these days makes me feel sick of the quality of media and journalism.

complete drivel. shows "The National University Of Sciences & Technology Islamabad." where this person is supposed to have studied is no better than the million madrassahs of Pakistan.

Since Bhartis descend here like flies on a sweetner, things surely must be better than what average Indian is taught in the basement of their Ashrams.

Still nothing in term of intellectual capibilty of IIT's

 

[wiseone2]

Honesty, intellectualism, intelligentsia is unknown subject to most Pakistani if not all ..There brain are only developed enough to comprehend bigotry of all type, cognitive dissonance, hatred , fear,racism , dishonesty etc...

Yes it was an Indian army general who once proudly proclaimed to change the race of certain people by raping there women & who himself wanted to hear the melodious voice of a certain female singer in private ...Here the monument dedicated to the general glorious achievement ,it's one of its kind in the whole world View attachment 376168

What is this monument ?

 

[Tiger Genie]

Since Bhartis descend here like flies on a sweetner, things surely must be better than what average Indian is taught in the basement of their Ashrams.

again, a feeble Pakistani attempt to equivovate. And as usual it fails. Miserably.
Read slowly if you have to: madrassha in Pakistan = terrorist factory which is why your own government is struggling to bring them under control.
You are not even qualified to talk about Indian institutions, so fugedabodit buster.

yup , very poor. Even if you accuse some one their should some amount of decorum in that. This looks like a mangled up hate speech that would even be terribly jarring to the ears of ppl who have a axe to grind against India.
