New Delhi, Feb 2 (ANI): The Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh, has condoled the death of prominent security expert K. Subrahmanyam.
Dr. Singh in his condolence message said: "It was with great sadness that I learnt of the passing away of your father K. Subrahmanyam, who was one of the country's leading security experts and strategists. Beginning with his work in the Ministry of Defence in the early sixties, Subrahmanyam's distinguished career in public service spanned many decades as a civil servant who maintained the highest traditions of the bureaucracy through his honesty, dedication and exceptional abilities."
"He made important and lasting contributions to the evolution of India's defence, security and foreign policies. His work outside the Government is perhaps even more impressive and he spearheaded and developed the field of defence studies in the country. His long stints as head of the Institute of Defence Studies and Analysis established it as one of the premier think tanks in the field," he added.
The Prime Minister further said: "Subrahmanyam wrote seminal works on an array of subjects covering our nuclear posture, India-Pakistan relations, intelligence matters, disarmament and issues of regional and global strategic importance. His work as head of the Kargil Review Committee was widely recognized both inside the government and outside it."
"In the passing away of Subrahmanyam, the country has lost an outstanding public servant, visionary and thinker who will be missed by the generations of bureaucrats, academics and writers who were inspired and influenced by his thoughts. Please accept my deepest condolences on the sad demise of your father. May God give you the strength to bear this irreparable loss," he added.
One of India's well known analysts on strategic affairs, K. Subrahmanyam died at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on Tuesday night. He was 82.
Subrahmanyam, one of the most respected voices in India on global security affairs, was suffering from lung and cardiac problems. He was also suffering from cancer.
At the time of his death, he was the Chairman of the Prime Minister's Task Force on Global Strategic Developments. (ANI)

I am India's expert in strategic defence and the father of India's strategic program including the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program. As I have shown in my blog titled 'Nuclear Supremacy for India Over U.S.' which can be found by a Yahoo search with the title, K. Subrahmanyam has been the king pin of C.I.A. operations in India. In a press release dated January 31, 2011 I said that he "has been sabotaging India's defence in numerous ways for decades, besides being responsible for all terrorism and separatism in India, the murder of Indira and Rajiv for showing my influence and the crimes, unprecedented in human history, against India's greatest scientist and the greatest living Indian". Almost certainly he has been spirited away to the United States by the C.I.A. and another body substituted as his. Dozens of times with my press releases I attached a record of his coming on line with the C.I.A. director Michael Hayden on August 10-11, 2008 and his offering to transfer Rs. one crore to my account within 48 hours if I agreed to work with them, combined with threats and abuse by the two of them -- about 70 of his worst abusive comments were deleted by him but some remain -- of various kinds, see my blog.
In my blog I have described how the C.I.A. keeps India poor, weak and enslaved: "India's greatest scientist and greatest living Indian publicly tortured in Harvard seminar, systematically and totally starved for up to 3 weeks at a time, made semi-starved and homeless and even blind for years, kept under 24-hour audio and video surveillance as well as surveillance of communications and electrical typewriter and computer use, document creation and photocopying, etc., by satellite for more than past 3 decades, systematically harassed and in poverty and neutralised and robbed of his work at the cost of hundreds of millions of dollars per year, robbed of crores in his money and property in India by C.I.A.-RAW, forced back into exile in the U.S., all with full cooperation and participation of India's RAW and India's C.I.A.-RAW-controlled prime ministers, politicians and media -- to keep India poor, weak and enslaved" and how this means the nuclear destruction of New Delhi and then the coast-to-coast destruction of the United States.
K. Subrahmanyam's booster on Bharat-Rakshak had posted a link to the biographical sketch in Wikipedia of his son, Sanjay. At this a "Bharath.Subramanyam" who occasionally posts on Bharat-Rakshak and I thought was K. Subrahmanyam posted an emotional comment that 'The less said about this son, the better', that he had rejected traditional Hindu/Indian culture, etc. and called him an "eminent historian" type (there is an eminent Indian historian named Satish Chandra and K. Subrahmanyam spent much of his time monitoring my Internet and other activity, including bathroom type activity about which he taunted me more than once in his comments posted on my articles, on C.I.A.-RAW terminals making sure anything I write or any thing about me does not get into the media, etc.). No one who is not his father will know or care so much about a disobedient/disrespectful son (who lives in the United States married to a white woman but there is nothing about his disobedience to his father in his biographical sketch). Knowing this was a sure give away, his booster deleted this emotional comment by "Bharath.Subramanyam". He may have been hidden somewhere within India by RAW instead of having been taken to the United States.
