The present policy is the old statesman” policy being used on us, the power players in this case, subvert the loyalty of the victim nations’ population, from it’s states, which eventually travels down to the very foundations of the country’s military power- which is in reality the final objective. Militarily weakened nation is then targeted and destroyed from within & later dismembered or balkanized as is being tried now. This term balkanization-originated from the nation that was the Osmanli Empire till the last century, the Headquarter of our Muslim Khilafat, the present case study, the scourge of the west had been it’s, janissaries. A corrupted Turkish word, from the word, yenni-cheri or the new troops, the entire corps was commanded by the Agha of the yennicheri, called oj ak(the hearth).it was divided into ,ortasor units, of varying numbers, the odaor the room, was the name given to the barracks in which they were lodged. Sultan Suleiman the first, had organized them into 196,ortas, divided into three classes, jemaat had 101 ortas; beuluk, had 61, and sekban had 34 ortas. there were also additional, 34 ortas of apprentices. In the peace times, the ortas were 100, men strong, in war times it was raised to 500. To have a better insight into the function of this remarkable institution, which had kept the empire in one piece while it was in existence. The Code of conduct was a creation, which only affected them. Implicit obedience to the officers, perfect accord and union among themselves, abstinence from luxury, Islam was the code- Yenicheri, were entitled to special rules ,regarding, a death penalty, if awarded to them, promotion, was by seniority, they could be punished and admonished by their own officers. Only the infirm and unfit were pensioned off, they were not allowed beards, nor to marry, nor to leave their barracks, or engage into trade, but to spend, the time in drill and in the practice of the art of war. The Janissaries, banner, was of white silk, on which verses from the Quran, were embroidered, in gold, this banner was planted besides, The, agha’s tent, in the camp, with 4 other flags, in red cases and a three horse tail banner/standard. Each aorta, had its flag, half-red and half-yellow &placed before the tent of its commander in the start, the janissaries, bore no other, mark of distinctive nature, save a white turban. This was converted into red. With gold work on it. The officers had the difference in the colour of the boots, the commanding officers, of the, beuluk, wore red boots, the others yellow, while the juniors wore black. The distinction, between the different classes, was in duty, they performed, the jemmat; or the yaya beiter were charged with, the frontier duties, the beuluk, had the privilege to serve as the sultan’s guards, and kept the sacred banner both during war and peace. The sacred, banner was the flag of the holy prophet. On 10 June 1826, Mahmud the second, ordered the destruction of the Yenicheri-, a fatwa (decree), was issued by the Shaikh-ul-Islam, the flag of the holy prophet was unfurled and Ibrahim Agha the artillery commander opened cannon fire on the barracks, they were asked to ‘’surrender’’, which was, replied with the cry of olmaz never or not possible. None survived the massacre, the barracks were burnt down, men burnt, but none pleaded for mercy, such was the unity and discipline.’’ Amongst them’’. The rest of 135,000, men too met the fate as stoically, All over the empire. The reason being the flag of the prophet had been unfurled on them by a devious, sultan. The cause of none resistance was, that the janissaries, had been the custodians of the same flag in the past. It was only unfurled in grave circumstances thus was the signal of the final act, to do or die. for it. Thus died the Manhood of the empire, with its destruction ended the State.
