WINSTON CHURCHILL SERVED IN BANGLORE AS ARMY MAN.

The Great Winston Churchill was a Second Lieutenant in British Army at a salary of 450 sterling,posted at Banglore. WINSTON CHURCHILL. (1874 to 1965.) He saw military action in India. He was a good polo-player. He was transferred and served in India in 1896 to 98 end, to fight the Afghan war. He was a second Lieutenant. He was responsible for Afghan war where his squad was made to retreat. He was thereafter posted in the South Regiment at Bangalore. It is over 60 years that British army rolled out of Bangalore cantonment but the city and especially the Russell market still remembers Churchill. It is popularly said that a thousand VIPs have come and gone but the one Bangalore remembers best is Churchill who lived in winding lanes of Langford gardens. A home owner has a yellowed receipt which shows one Kasam tailor to W.Kurtill esq. for Rs. 4 towards the cost of tailoring a pair of breeches. (name is not properly spelled due to native illiteracy.) Churchill did live in Bangalore is beyond doubt. The proof lies in the moth eaten records of United services club. There is a remark : “Lieutenant W.L.S. Churchill is not to be permitted to sign chits anymore, having defaulted in making his payments to the club.” A princely sum of Rs.13 due from him has remained unpaid till this date.

INDIAN CIVIL SERVICE EXAMS AND THE UPSC.

INDIAN CIVIL SERVICE. The President rules the country. The PM governs the country. The Civil Service administers the country. A coterie of civil service official forms the PMOs office, and the secretariat run the administration of the country. It is therefore necessary that gem of the country’s intelligentsia may be selected by the UPSC. In reality the situation is exactly the opposite. Readers may remember that last year with the change in the Government in June 2014 the UPSC cancelled the entire process of recruitment and selection in final stage on flimsy ground of the Hindi Speaking candidate representation etc. Anybody can put two and two together and come to the figure four, that is the new ruling party wants his people in the list. Before appointment to such posts, there should be thorough scrutiny of antecedents. Integrity, merits have to be considered and evaluated for such posts. Transparency in selection is a must. The impact of the deeds/misdeeds of such civil servants affect the interest of a billion people. “May the pen of the civil servants may not ruin what the country attained with great exertions.” They have to be true spokesmen of the policy of the Government.

Their mind is traveling elsewhere. Teaching a Fish to Swim. How would you feel in such a position? My friend Mary was returning to India from a long stay in USA. She found herself some time to spend at Heathrow airport. She bought a cup of coffee and a small pack of biscuits. She staggered laden with luggage to an unoccupied table. She was reading when she felt aware of some rustling at her table. From behind her paper she saw a neatly dressed young man helping himself with her biscuits. She not wanting to make a scene,leaned across and took one for herself. A minute or so passed. More rustling. He was enjoying a second biscuit. By the time they were down to the last piece, she was real angry. She could not bring herself to say anything, out of embarrassment. Then the young man broke the remaining last biscuit into two, passed half across to her. He ate the other half. He then left leisurely. She was fuming all the while,quite red. When the desk-team asked her for boarding pass. Imagine her state of mind when she opened her handbag. Her biscuit packet was lying there mocking at her. She exclaimed “Oh No!

THE YOUTH FORCE OF INDIA.

POOR MENTALITY. WE WERE BRAIN-WASHED. THE THIRD GENERATION IS FREE FROM THIS. THEY WILL RULE THE WORLD. WHAT CHINA CAN DO TO THEM? ON THE CONTRARY THEY WOULD POCKET CHINA. ALL THEY NEEDED WAS A CELLPHONE INTERNET COMPUTER AND A CAR. THE WORLD IS IN THE POCKET OF INDIAN YOUTH. THE INDIAN YOUTH HAS TO SCALE THE SEAS AS INDIA HAS A LARGE COAST-LINE. THEY ARE BOLD FEARLESS DEVILS. VACATE THE PLACES AND GIVE THEM A CHANCE, SOONER THE BETTER. EXPLOIT THE INTERNET. THE CELL-PHONE IS YOUR 
SECRETARY. THE MODERN AMENITIES HAVE CHANGED THE WORLD. We were mentally poor. We have to come out of this poor mentality. Even Anil has this defect. Both these brothers have studied at Wharton but have not come out of it. We suffer from inferiority complex. In the pre-independence days brainless 25 year Boys of Britain ruled over India. Indian Kings and all used to fall at their feet for favours. England is just like say one of our states in area. These Britain Boys arrived in the docks of Bombay at an age of 18, to rule. There was no place for them in England. It was all filled up with progeny of Lords and all big dignitaries. These young boys were given a chance to prove their ability. They gave vent to their whims and imagination. They were about 3000 ICS officers and 20,000 army personnel as officers. The field and clerical staff etc were recruited from within the country. The soldiers were also recruited from within the country. Battalions were put under charge of British army officers through out the country. They represented challenge, adventure and found the fulfilment of dreams. This was denied by their country because of their limited resources. These 23000 fellows governed the length and breadth of Greater India. These fellows emptied the treasures of India. They organized to send ship loads of opium tea, antiques, jewels, gold etc. The returning ships brought cigarettes, whisky, textiles etc. to sell in India.
