EARTHWORMS

EARTHWORMS......
Dear friends,
Probably we need war not one but many so that voice of army is heard by the civil servents. In my other posts at other threads like Army, apart from Kartik (Pragmatic euphony) too it was the discussion. Some guys of course react that it was wishful thinking and out of frustration due to failure of civil government in reacting to demands of army. There is no frustration on this side. The real fact is that peace time army has no respect and also will have no respect especially in this land.This is truth whether some one likes or not. Many know this but out of modesty act as if not true. They look otherway. Many guys see Army as a waste of national resources. Are we maintaining army as a show piece as a safety factor? Second is rather true. We have already fought many wars and lost some major too. But for Army, Delhi would have been with Pakistan. In 1965, Field Marshal Ayub Khan declared that He would have breakfast at Rawalpindi and lunch at Delhi or something to that effect. It shows how poorly he assessed and how very confident he was. They were so confident when Patton Tanks lumbered across the borders in hundreds. Army then has shown what it means. Leaders like Shastri and Jagivan Ram, Defense minister had guts and in fact Indians could have good lunch with roasted chicken and beer at Lahore. I am sorry. We are Gandhians. No Chicken and beer. We should not say loud. Topiwallahs might get offended.We could have had some vegetables and goat/s milk, peeled bananas and Parathas in Lahore. Otherwise Gandhis soul would weep beating its chest and tearing clothes. We also would get into sins and land in hell.But after 1971, we have gone into hibernation like shaggybears sleeping in caves or frogs sleeping under the earth.. Pakistan has gone nuclear. Rather we have turned a Nelsons eye to its activities. In similar situation, Israel smashed Iraq's nuclear facilities. We only shout at pitch of voice and do nothing except to give long vague statements drafted by some babus and all knowing and eternal intelligent IAS men from the parliament and external affairs ministry that lead no where except to land the nation into a quagmire as faitaccompli. Now Pak is nuclear with missiles too. They can hammer us black and blue and probably they would do in next war. Their Al Khalid tanks reportedly are doing better and are in regular production. Our Arjun Tanks are mere sitting ducks even as per Janes weekly. Other Tnaks such as T 90 are too having great problems. Guns are flowering too. Some concotion of T 90 hulls with turrets of Arjun are being thrust on army. DRDO would never agree to its faltering and letting down the army. Neraly 35 years have gone in discovering Newtons law again by them. and a junk Tin box came out not before scores of guys became Brigadiers, Major Generals, Scientists E , F and so on and many got VSM, AVSM and PVSM. Chanakya orKautilya who was the master political leader in Magadha Empire wrote long ago that enemy should be smashed when he was weak. Our motto is get smashed by enemy by remaining weak. We have failed to cut Pakistan into multiple pieces when it was not nuclear. We have not lerant lessons from History. None will come for our rescue in emergency. Who came to resue of Indians in previous wars? All Arbs were Cats on walls for whom we run around even today. Russians bless from a distance. But for American ( JFKennedy) threat Chinese would have occupied Tezpur, the heart of Assam. They could have gulped Arunachal Pradesh formerly NEFA. Can we do some thing strong against Pakistan now? We developed cold feet when Indian parliament was attacked. We sang Ram Dhun..Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram.... Pateeta Pavana seetha Ram.. Jai Seetha Ram..... Ram can never liberate Delhi from Pakistan or Arunachal from yellow men if occupied. We repeatedly prayed that wisdom should dawn on Pakistanis. Gandhis and Buddha's sermons are pulling Indians rear wards finally to the doom day one day. It has done already in the past in 1947. Indian Army’s word would be never be heard as long as Army remains a ceremonial outfit without being active and without a strong rod that is called a spine that make people stand erect and stiff. People question why have such huge army and at all as white elephant when we make no use of it. To it ,we further add white elephants like Arjun Tanks more and more. Many years ago some one remarked that army should be used for constructional activities like fatigue parties ( Labor ) and its ordnance factories and base workshops be used for making coffee pots. True, FM Kariappa remarkably in his speech said Aaj hum sab Muft ho gaye hain. He shoud have said Mukt ho gaye Hain when he delivered his famous speech after gaining independence. His prophecy has come true. Army has really become Muft.. He was weak in Hindi being a Koorgi. As usual all North Indians feel that all south Indians are weak in Hindi and call them Tambis. The north south gap is still very much there. Although unknowingly he said these words, his statements were absolutely true. Aaj ham ( Army) muft ( Free of no value and in casual Hindi Phukat) ho gayen hain. True. Army in the eyes of all knowing IAS babus and Dhotiwallahs and Topiwallahs and Safari suit wallahs and Jodhpur coat wallahs and VarietyTurban wallahs has become a useless setup and of no consequence. They can be kicked around like a foot ball. Usually football when is full of air bounces esaily and strikes agaisnt a wall and comes back strong at the guy. A ball with less air sadly drops with feeble reaction. Army is like a deflated or punctured foot ball now. It has to prove and justify its own existance.God bless the Indians and army’s future. It is loosing own identity. The guys who can not stand with spine shall fall down on the ground and have to crawl searching for tit bits here and there. They can be easily trampled by others.
