Myanmar troops have launched a crackdown against Indian separatists, raiding several rebel bases, officials and militant leaders said on Monday.
An Indian defence official said camps belonging to the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) had been smashed in northern Myanmar's Sagaing division.
"The offensive is continuing... since the last four days with some key ULFA bases demolished according to information available so far," a commander of India's paramilitary Assam Rifles told AFP, asking not to be named.
The ULFA, fighting for an independent homeland in northeast India's Assam state, has well-entrenched bases inside Myanmar, from where they stage cross-border bombings and hit-and-run attacks on federal soldiers.
At least half a dozen separatist groups from India's northeast have bases in Myanmar under the patronage of the dominant Khaplang faction of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-K).
Kughalo Mulatonu, a senior NSCN-K leader, told AFP by telephone from an undisclosed location that "a routine winter operation is currently on in Myanmar."
"We do expect some clashes in the coming days, but we are capable of protecting ourselves," he said.
The NSCN-Khaplang, which is pressing for an independent tribal homeland, entered into a ceasefire with New Delhi in 2001.
The ULFA, the region's most potent separatist outfit, is an ally of the NSCN-K, which runs about 50 camps with 5,000 guerrilla fighters in Myanmar.
Myanmar, which staged a deadly crackdown on pro-democracy protests in September, last raided Indian separatist camps in January. That followed a visit by India's Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee to Yangon to request the junta's help.
More than 50,000 people have lost their lives to insurgency in the northeast since India's independence in 1947. |

" Invading Washington
by John Brown and Tom Engelhardt
TomDispatch
Over the last seven years, it's often been said that George W. Bush exists in a bubble. When it comes to the cast of characters in his administration – and the Washington Consensus generally – it turns out he isn't alone. The other night I watched Harvard academic Joseph Nye and former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage discuss the crisis in Pakistan with talk-show host Charlie Rose. The two of them had just finished co-chairing a Center for Strategic and International Studies commission that produced a report, clearly meant for the next administration, on wielding American "smart power" in the world.
Nye is an exceedingly conventional American internationalist; Armitage is a former "Vulcan" who, in the first years of the Bush administration, though Colin Powell's deputy at the State Department, was close to the neocons of the Pentagon, but may now be repositioning himself for a Democratic administration. They could be said to represent the heartland of the present Washington Consensus.
Yet when they talked of Pakistani autocrat Pervez Musharraf ("I mean, Musharraf has been our boy, but we've not been able to do much with it…"), of the Pakistani situation more generally ("I mean, after Musharraf, there are other secular generals…"), and of the American role there ("Well, we have to be working with both Benazir Bhutto and also with our contacts in the army to make sure this doesn't turn into chaos…," "If you do anything to help Benazir, it has to be done very quietly and behind the scenes…"), they might as well have been discussing deploying federal "smart power" to Maryland, or more appropriately, to the U.S. Territory of Guam. Conceptually, they remain deep inside Washington's Pakistan, Washington's dream of a controllable world. -----" |

in another context president putin might have been saying about manmoahn singhs and jaswant sings of india-scavanging jackels on foreing embassy direction.
http://www.russiatoday.ru/election/news/17320
quote--"Putin warns against `scavenging jackals`
President Putin has warned against attempts to restore the influence of the oligarchs in Russia. He told thousands of supporters in Moscow that the power-hungry tycoons had not gone away. He said they remained in the wings, waiting for an opportunity to regain their influence in Russ"""
"“Unfortunately there are people in our country who are scavenging like jackals at foreign embassies, hoping to receive support from foreign funds and governments rather than the support of their own people,” he said, adding that this won’t last long:
"
als we donto have putins amonst us-only yeltsin like traityors swariming all over india.and no body is taking them out to save india from onrushing slavery !!
it should be eye opener(though it will not) for those idiotic indians-more like knowiningly doing treachery than being foolish) who think america wil fight the muslim extremism for india.

U.S. Ambassador Plays a `Mullah Card' in Destabilization of Pakistan
November 20, 2007
quote-"ndicating once again that the Cheney-led neo-cons of Washington are solely interested in enhancing unrest in Pakistan, the U.S. Ambassador to Islamabad, Anne Patterson, met Maulana Fazlur Rehman, chief of Jamiat-Ulema-Islami (JUI-F) and an often-used British asset in Pakistan. U.S. Embassy spokesman Elizabeth Colton told AFP that Patterson and Rehman discussed a number of issues, including the importance of lifting the emergency. Needless to say, Maulana Fazlur has publicly stated that he wants to see the state of emergency lifted before free and fair elections are held.
But Maulana Fazlur Rahman is known for his contribution to developing the core members of the Taliban movement through his multitude of madrassahs, or Islamic seminaries. His is one of the most influential and resourceful organizations in Pakistan working for what is described as a "pure, Islamic state." "
