After Beethoven's death in March 1827, two documents were discovered in his desk. These were the Heiligenstadt Testament and this love letter. The passionate feelings manifested in this letter were addressed to a person unknown. Many have speculated over whom might be the recipient. It was made more difficult by the fact that there is no mention of place from where it has been written. But experts, following Beethoven's date on the letters, his movement during the period (1812) and studying the persons close to Beethoven, has come to the solution that Antoine Brentano must be the answer—now generally accepted as being correct.

July 6, in the morning

My angel, my all, my very self

To Only a few words today and at that with pencil (with yours) - Not till tomorrow will my lodgings be definitely determined upon - what a useless waste of time - Why this deep sorrow when necessity speaks - can our love endure except through sacrifices, through not demanding everything from one another; can you change the fact that you are not wholly mine, I not wholly thine - Oh God, look out into the beauties of nature and comfort your heart with that which must be - Love demands everything and that very justly - thus it is to me with you, and to your with me. But you forget so easily that I must live for me and for you; if we were wholly united you would feel the pain of it as little as I - My journey was a fearful one; I did not reach here until 4 o'clock yesterday morning. Lacking horses the post-coach chose another route, but what an awful one; at the stage before the last I was warned not to travel at night; I was made fearful of a forest, but that only made me the more eager - and I was wrong. The coach must needs break down on the wretched road, a bottomless mud road. Without such postilions as I had with me I should have remained stuck in the road. Esterhazy, travelling the usual road here, had the same fate with eight horses that I had with four - Yet I got some pleasure out of it, as I always do when I successfully overcome difficulties - Now a quick change to things internal from things external. We shall surely see each other soon; moreover, today I cannot share with you the thoughts I have had during these last few days touching my own life - If our hearts were always close together, I would have none of these.

Though still in bed, my thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved, now and then joyfully, then sadly, waiting to learn whether or not fate will hear us - I can live only wholly with you or not at all - Yes, I am resolved to wander so long away from you until I can fly to your arms and say that I am really at home with you, and can send my soul enwrapped in you into the land of spirits - Yes, unhappily it must be so - You will be the more contained since you know my fidelity to you. No one else can ever possess my heart - never - never - Oh God, why must one be parted from one whom one so loves. And yet my life in V is now a wretched life - Your love makes me at once the happiest and the unhappiest of men - At my age I need a steady, quiet life - can that be so in our connection? My angel, I have just been told that the mail coach goes every day - therefore I must close at once so that you may receive the letter at once - Be calm, only by a calm consideration of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together - Be calm - love me - today - yesterday - what tearful longings for you - you - you - my life - my all - farewell. Oh continue to love me - never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.

Ever thine

Ever mine

Ever ours

You’re faithful LUDWIG

Government can even think of taking their service for intelligence gathering. This will help to break terrorists’ network.”

Importantly, based as they would be in localities and colonies, they can serve as useful `detectives’ for our intelligence agencies. Former director general of Tihar Prison, R.P.Singh, told TSI, “Private guards are manning all parts of cities. They have sensitive and important information. However, due to lack of coordination with the police, they are not utilised. Government can even think of taking their service for intelligence gathering. This will help to break terrorists’ network.” Unarguably, private security cannot become an alternative to official agencies, like the regular police or army or paramilitary forces, but can become a handy placebo. Sophisticated, armed and efficient, on duty at prime hotels, airports, industrial hubs, with quick response times that does not need bureaucratic clearances is pretty much the need of the hour.

Security companies are, naturally, worked up. A number of them – Topsline and G4Securities for instance – amongst dozens of others have mushroomed in the last few years. Now with the bill, they will get official teeth.

Says Vikas Verma, MD, Property Guards Security Services, one of the seven wings of G-7 Securitas Group, which guards top film stars like Preity Zinta and Aishwariya Rai Bachchan: ``Because of our superior technological and human resources, state police forces seek our help.” He claims the agency has even solved cases of abduction and murder.

In addition, there is upgraded technology. “In Madhya Pradesh, Naxalites would hide grenades under corpses. When the police closed in for scrutiny, the mines would explode in their faces. The police wanted to buy very expensive robots, but we suggested they use an inexpensive anchor to do the same job as efficiently. And it has worked.’’

The mushrooming of such private security agencies, has led to other complications, like below par services. Cities are teeming with thousands of men who are hardly trained, under paid, weak of physique, ill-mannered and whose claim to provide security in a rarely washed and stained uniform, could at best be considered laughable. To be sure, some inspiration is coming from the West. In US and Canada, even places as sensitive as airports are managed by private security agencies and the story of the role played – even overplayed – by the US private agency Blackwater is legend.

Most agree that it would take many years and a lot of investment to reach US levels – if at all. In the US, for example, private agencies use satellite imagery and process data which is supplied to the government. Though there have been examples of lapses on their parts, which has led to innocent civilians being bombed in Iraq and Afghanistan, yet, they are able to identify and advice the government on precise locations of terrorism hotspots and exact targets at many occasions.

Already, with top corporates and others seeking protection, the state of high-end security has improved. Ramesh Aiyar, Executive Director of the Topsline Group, claims they have the latest equipment and trained personnel to deal with any situation. “We have the latest gadgets like vapour explosives detection, which makes it possible for us to detect not just explosives but also other chemicals.’’ He claims his company is competent to deal with air rescue and combating biological warfare. For operators like him, the Act could not have come at a more opportune time.

Both Islamist radicals and BNP wanted Hasina ousted because she had vowed to bring war criminals to book

The failed civil war!

Brigadier (Retd) Mohammad Abdul Hafiz, former DG of Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies, told TSI: “It's a mystery that a tragedy of such tectonic magnitude could come to pass the state unobserved by the concerned agencies, which are sizable in number. Seeing the magnitude, meticulousness and brutality of the manoeuvre, the trepidation is natural."

The BDR was set up soon after Independence (1972) as a secular force, under the command of Major General Chittaranjan Dutta. But fundamentalists infiltrated it during the BNP-Jamaat tenure. It was, till the mutiny, the handmaid of the Islamist organisations like Jamaat. Now, Army spokesperson Sina Ibne Jamali says, BDR will be reorganised and rechristened. But the mutiny has surprised even retired officers. Said Brig Gen Shamsuddin Ahmed, former military secretary to the President of Bangladesh: "While on deputation with BDR, not once did I feel they were different from the Army; in fact, they seemed more disciplined and loyal."

Even before the mutiny, police had arrested hundreds of Jamaat activists after busting another nation-wide serial blast conspiracy, in the process nabbing Jamaat leader Amir Matiur Rehaman Nijam, former industry minister of Khaleda government, who had helped to smuggle out 10 truck-loads of arms and explosives, meant for extremist groups in northeast India. All these had made the Jamaat and the terrorist groups desperate to try and topple the government.

“This is not the first time that BDR created such a problem; rather whenever Awami League came to power, these elements in BDR plotted a mutiny or coup,” said Shahriar Kabir, noted columnist and human rights activist. Now, it seems that the radical force will be tamed, if Hasina survives an assassination attempt, which cannot be ruled out. Last time she had been in power, an assassination had been plotted, and only timely tip off from an Indian scribe had helped her avert it.

Red Fading away

The days of the West Bengal CPI (M) are numbered, writes Chandrasekhar Bhattacharjee

In the last Lok Sabha elections the communists were left with just 24 seats – down from their previous tally of 61. In West Bengal – once the Red Citadel – the CPI (M)’s share of MPs dropped vertically, from 27 to nine. It lagged behind the Trinamool Congress and Congress in over 200 of the 294 assembly segments. Indeed the outlook is so bleak that in the 13th West Bengal Legislative Assembly polls in 2011, even the CPI (M)’s friends expect the once impregnable fortress to collapse as the Berlin Wall did in 1989!

Yes, the party seems pretty nearly over. The CPI (M) is tottering everywhere – far beyond the Bengal-Bihar-Orissa borders: a fact that went uncommented till the 15th LS polls. And now we need no comment. It’s staring us right in our faces. In Khejuri (East Midnapore district) – ever since the people’s revolt started on June 8 – unauthorised arms are being recovered almost every day.

The CPI (M) had once called Khejuri – till the mid twentieth century a stronghold of the Gandhians – Bengal’s Leningrad. Former Union minister and freedom fighter Abha Maiti hailed from this block. But post the 1990s the place came to be referred as the communists’ ‘Liberated Zone’, leaving space for no other political party. Indeed, even LF allies were not allowed to function there.

He’s come a long way

When Lucknow-based Anurag Tiwari scored 48 per cent in class 12, snide remarks and unsolicited advice came pouring in. Tiwari himself flitted between tears and tension, wondering why he couldn't match his 55 per cent from high school. His father, a cashier in UP’s state transport corporation, had no money to pay for an engineering seat. Tiwari was forced to do an arts course. “I was told I would get nowhere in life,” he recalls. Yet he signed up for a one-year computer programming diploma. Initially, the course proved a nightmare. His Hindi language background preventing him from understanding the lessons. “I read English newspapers, pored through grammar texts and practiced speaking in front of the mirror,” he says. Tiwari then shifted to Delhi and moved through several ill-paid jobs.

“The lack of marks did not hold me back. If you have experience and skill, all barriers fall through”, says the 30-year-old who, as Infrastructure Leader at the Indian arm of Steria Limited, one of the world’s technology and business outsourcing leaders, steers a team of 20 across the company’s locations in India.

Today he zips across foreign locations for projects. “People have a right to comment on your lack of success. Though the remarks hurt, take them as spurs," says the cricket buff.

But the list of tainted MPs has gone up, reports Rajan Prakash

Both Uttar Pradesh and Bihar – that have been traditional hunting grounds for baahubalis – are now experiencing a gradual change of heart. The Ansari brothers, Mukhtar and Afzal, who once held most of eastern UP to ransom, have suffered crushing defeats. Mukhtar was defeated by BJP’s Murli Manohar Joshi in Varanasi and Afzal by SP candidate Radha Mohan Singh in Ghazipur. BSP candidate Unnao Arun Shankar Shukla alias Anna Shukla, accused by even Mayawati in the June 2, 1995 Lucknow guest house case, lost to political novice Annu Tandon. And Akshay Pratap Singh, the Samajwadi Party candidate from Pratapgarh, who is the uncle of baahubali Raghuraj Pratap Singh alias Raja Bhaiyya, was likewise drubbed.

Good won over evil in Faizabad as well; the voters there had no trouble picking clean Congressman Nirmal Khatri over Mitrasen Yadav who is accused of nearly a dozen heinous crimes. Western UP’s D. P. Yadav was chosen by Mayawati to counter arch rival SP. But this time it didn’t help to pit baahubali against baahubali, and DP lost to Dharmendra Yadav from Badaun. Voters in Sravasti too took no time to tell BSP’s Rizwan Zaheer what they thought of a contestant accused of human trafficking.

As we said, only some of the baahubalis have been overcome. Their overall number has actually risen. In the 15th Lok Sabha, for instance, Dhananjay Singh (BSP candidate from Jaunpur) will share space with the others.

Dhananjay, whose criminal career took off during his student days, has been accused of murdering doctors, lawyers, teachers and policemen. (In this election the body of the Justice Party candidate contesting against him was found hanging from a tree, and the general feeling is that he had to have a hand in it.) But that did not affect his chances. In Kaisarganj constituency too, his baahubali reputation helped Brijbhushan SP’s Sharan Singh. Singh is a four-term MP! The brother of dacoit Dadua too had no trouble grabbing the Mirzapur seat. The sons of Harishankar Tiwari alias Baba were in the fray in eastern UP, where the elder one turned lucky in the Kabirnagar constituency.

Good enough, what? With bare bhaiyya rubbing shoulders with the mighty in Parliament, it should be relatively easy work for the younger to carry on with the unfinished work!

The Indian Army has evolved its own unique style of waging low intensity conflicts

2,300 IIPM students get jobs

Insurgency - Terrorism neutralised

This way, it has been able to tire out and exhaust the terrorists or insurgents as also the populations involved. Once the people are convinced of the futility of violence they usually force the insurgents to come over ground, surrender or join the mainstream.

The people are the centre of gravity of the army operations. It puts in major efforts to win their hearts and minds by humane and people-friendly operations and by undertaking extensive civic action by building roads, schools, hospitals and orphanages in the concerned area and helping locals to earn a decent livelihood. To win over the people the Army has launched major civic actions like Op Sadbhavna in Jammu and Kashmir and Op Good Samaritan in the North East.

The Army has waged concerted Psy ops to counter insurgent and terrorist propaganda and to wean the people away from their influence by highlighting their atrocities and depredations. Unlike the armed forces of America, Russia, China and Pakistan which freely use jet fighters, bombers, tanks and artillery for such operations, the Indian Army has exercised tremendous restraint and only used infantry/Rashtriya Rifles with small arms.

Surprisingly one hears little of human rights violations by the US, Russian or Pakistani armies. These are mostly focused on the Indian Army and are mostly designed to slow down or disrupt its operations. Over 92% of these accusations have been found to be false and motivated. Yet the army has pacified one tribal insurgency after another in the north east and broken the back of motivated terrorist movements in the Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir.

The key lies in addressing the underlying causes and grievances that make men rebel. Foreign aided terrorists however are an entirely different set of targets that must either be eliminated or driven out.
