Ved Marwah
People who are studious, who love to read and write, even if they are competent, their competence is lined with a precise and polite understanding of the situation. Ved Marwah is one of such accomplishments. He passed away on June 5 in Goa.
A former police chief of Delhi and a former governor of three states is one of his identities, while a book lover and author is an equally important aspect of him. He was the Commissioner of Police in the capital from 1985 to 1988. This post is directly under the purview of the Central Government. While Julio Ribeiro and KPS Gill were in the neighboring Punjab, Ved Marwah maintained law and order in Delhi. He was the Director General of the National Security Guards from 1988 to 1990. He served as an advisor to the Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, served on several Standing and Temporary Committees for National Security Policy, and later as Governor of Manipur (1999-2003) and Jharkhand (2003-04). While at the Raj Bhavan in Manipur, he was also the Governor of Mizoram for a year (2000-01). This is a time of instability in the northeastern states.
Born in Peshawar 87 years ago, Veda Marwa came to India around the time of partition, studied at the prestigious St. Stephen's College in Delhi and graduated from the University of Manchester with a degree in Public Administration and enrolled in the Indian Police Service. Since then, if he had left the post of Deputy Commissioner of Police in Kolkata, it would have been more in Delhi. He conducted a special study on terrorism and domestic terrorist organizations, which proved to be the book 'Uncivil Wars: Pathology of Terrorism in India' (1997). He also wrote books on how leftist organizations in Northeast India are fomenting asceticism, as well as the challenge of terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. His dissertation 'Autonomy in Jammu and Kashmir' was published by Credha, a Dutch peace-negotiating organization, while his book 'Counterterrorism in Punjab' was published by Indiana University. Ved's father Fakirchand.
