INDIAN FOUNDATION FOR LEGITIMACY AND SECURITY

FIVE PILLARS:
Research and Analysis Wing
Intelligence Bureau
Central Bureau Of Investigation
Crime Investigation Department
Police and Military Force

Research and Analysis Wing as in R&AW was just a surveillance agency until I researched about it few days ago. After research, I understood the criticality of R&AW behind every military action of India in the past. R&AW is a think tank of Indian defense wing which strives to predict the threats from the foreign countries.
The structure of R&AW is not known as it is not under the purview of RTI. Just the head as R&AW chief is showcased. Alok Joshi, at present is the chief. It undergoes its activities with the method of spying. Few IPS officers [mostly] selected immediately after giving their civil services exam are mentally tested and are given training in spying. After their training, they are set to be scattered in different parts of the world to spy on their political stability and predict the threats to India. They are the sleeper cells who are inactive or sleeping until the orders are issued to attack. There are thousands of R&AW agents scattered to make the task easier. There are many techniques and models of spying each described very well on the internet which I do not deal with now.
So, if an agent finds out any distrust element in a particular country, he informs the higher officials immediately according to the sequence the R&AW had planned. Finally the information is gathered at the Indian headquarters of R&AW at New Delhi within few minutes or hours. Then it undertakes the precaution measures immediately. There are many operations of R&AW like Operation Cactus, Operation Leech, Operation Meghdoot, Operation Smiling Buddha etc. Let me describe how it operates in the times of emergency by taking a particular operation. 
Operation Meghdoot is one the greatest successes of R&AW. The agents in Pakistan had informed the chief that Pak military had received Arctic weather gears from a London co. to protect themselves from cold and they figured it out that there was going to be an attack on siachen to occupy that. The Pak army planned that they could defeat India because India would not be having the cold protection equipment with them. After the chief discussing with the Prime Minister of India have decided to occupy Siachen before Pakistan and give it a blow. Thus, India also imported the equipment and occupied Siachen in before hand.
It struggles hard to protect India from external violence. It is the one among the best intelligence agencies in the world. The novels of Sidney Sheldon, David Baldacci and many others have described their ideas on their own countries intelligence agencies, the technology used, methods adopted etc. There are many movies plotting on intelligence. For instance, Madras Cafe, a hindi movie focused on Indian intelligence and their moves at the time of dealing with LTTE. 
There is nothing in this world perfect and clean. Thus, R&AW is backed with few complications. Though the technological aspect of Indian intelligence is shaped out very well,  the coordination and cooperation among different agencies working under it goes with loops. Another backdrop of Indian intelligence would be communication among the agents and even with the higher officials. Inorder to pace with the most powerful agencies of America, Britain, Russia, China, Pakistan etc, we need to build up our strength and bury our loops. Then it would be a great contribution from R&AW to Indian masses.

Norwegian Wood

It is a sweet bitter feeling to finish reading a book. And when the ending is left to our own imagination, the story and emotions linger behind us. It is been a day I finished reading this book, yet I cannot start with another book. The characters Naoko, Midori and Toru have been portrayed very well. Each character has it's own way of teaching you something. Reiko's character lifts your spirits up and give you that go, her being my favourite. It is too dark and deep a book to really understand the inner meaning of every word. Overall I loved reading Haruki Murakami for the first time.  "Despite your best efforts, people are going to be hurt when it's time for them to be hurt. Life is like that." "Death exists, not as the opposite but as a part of life." "No truth can cure the sadness we feel from losing a loved one. No truth, no sincerity, no strength, no kindness, can cure that sorrow. All we can do is see that sadness through to the end a

PSEPHOLOGY

INTRODUCTION: Psephology is simply the study of elections or survey for the prediction of election results. It basically depicts the election campaigns, election processes, the participants and employs statistical analysis to evaluate, analyse and interpret the predicted results on the basis of studying the people's behaviour. Psephology is derived from a Greek word Psephos meaning pebbles. An interesting story is related to the the adoption of this name. Earlier the pebbles(ballots) were thrown into an urns which represented the vote rate of elections in Athens, Greece. EMERGENCE AND PROCEDURE FOLLOWED: For the first elections, there was no need for the election study as there was a single party which had a clear majority. But emergence of many parties in the late 1960's had led to the need for the psephology to emerge. In 1960's, the congress suffered its majority in centre and the states. There was a complete destabilization of the congress and apprehen
