INDIANS CAN NOT EXPECT SANE BEHAVIOR FROM PAKISTAN

INDIANS CAN NOT EXPECT SANE BEHAVIOR FROM PAKISTAN

Prof Dr Colonel K Prabhakar Rao (Retired)

Indians talk more and do least. Everything ends in desperation and chaos and mockery too. It is most unlikely that present leadership with weak knees (probably with Rheumatoid Arthritis or Gout) would be able to stand up against the efficient calculated onslaught of Pakistan either diplomatically or militarily (1). The euphoria of long Indian statements carefully worded by civil servants of ministry of external affairs or defense ministry would not end and occasionally the army chief and other services Chiefs also give statements that they are fully prepared and would do needful at the request of Babus ( Civil servants) who are their pay masters. India is really scared to get into war with Pakistan due to resource crunch and the set back it will have economically. Then why have Defence forces if national safety can not be ensured? India would be more happy doing saber rattling. But rattling of a saber is possible with only thin straight swords and not with curved Maratha ( General Vaidya’s fancy) ceremonial swords that our army guys carry now that can not cut even a tomato or an apple or piece of butter.Police and Para Military senior officers who want to imitate army in every thing are atleast wise in not imitatiing on the issue of sword and they carry old British pattern straight swords. So they can do better rattling.Let them do because they are better paid than army guys as per the recent pay commisssion. The curved sword was introduced by the former army Chief General Vaidya who was slain by Khalistan terrorists after retirement at Pune while travelling in a car with a armed Guard like a sitting duck as a revenge for operation blue star.The armed guard was incapable to anticipate and even fire in retalliation. Indians only do this Saber rattling frequently and nothing concrete while Pakistan would make merry out of Indians’s inability to take action and be assertive.
Indian army chief General Deepak Kapoor recently said that surgical strikes were possible. He said, “whether you would like to look at doing it( Carrying out such strikes) by air, or Artillery or by another means or physically there” . (2). But he must know that Pak terror camps would have already moved out into deeper zones of Pakistan and Waziristan where Pak has no hold and Al Qaeda and Taliban rule. One should know that these camps will not be on plain grounds exposed and calling Indian forces and aircraft to strike them. The word physically there indicates physical presence of Indian forces. This would be possible if the camps are close by. History has seen pathetic Indian actions with LTTE and the backlash too.LTTE hs driven wind out of Indian army. Taliban and LET are determined fighters and fighting them on their own soil within Pak territory as a commando operation is probably out of question. It would be surely suicidal. The recent defeat of Pak army in SWAT valley should be an eye opener to Indian forces too. These actions are not possible without all out war for which India is obviously under prepared and wants to avoid. It was also said that India could strike them with artillery. How far? All these camps will be out of longest arty range very much safe in mountain ranges. Does India have arty guns that can fire from our borders into Swat valley or Waziristan? If India can do some surgical strikes, Pak also can drop some fishy things on Bombay next door. They are not going to keep quiet with bangles on their hands. It can also do same to Delhi without mercy. With one more determined strike on Bombay that is next door, one can imagine the confusion in Indian ranks. It is not that India would take up surgical strikes and Pak would enjoy watching over a glass of beer. Their air force is equally powerful and able and can strike back. If surgical strikes are taken up by India, it must be prepared for all out war. Any war with Pakistan will be seen as life and death by them. They can blackmail with nukes. Does India have guts to nuke Pakistan in case required? It is greatly doubtful.India would soon back track.Pakistan has nothing to loose. It is a failed state. Soon it will be ruled by Taliban ( Alqaida from behind). At the word of nukes India gets shit scared trembling in pants and resorts to Gandhian sermons and Ramdhun. India would be scared that the economic progress would be greatly affected. Indians have seen their leaders in the past and present too. So Indians have to lump it and be happy with pseudo saber rattling occasionally and then keep playing politics for the chair of PM. Old horses who can not get any thing on their own, would try to pull down Dr Man Mohan Singh and install the Congress prince in chair so that some bits of morsels are thrown to them. The Prince favorably called and addressed by the sycophant aged (awaiting graves) party leaders is wise hopefully and would keep away from the dirty game. This is what only Indian leaders can do. Nothing more they are capable of doing (3).
Of course there are people who condemn very thought of nuking Pakistan. They claim that nuking Pakistan is not like exploding some diwali crackers. The solution they suggest is to strengthen the civil society and democratic govt. in Pakistan to rein in the radical elements there and to bring in a new tolerant, civilized Pakistan generation who believe in the ideals of democracy, liberty, rule of law and human rights. A good proposition indeed with good motives. A liberal civilian democratic govt. in Pakistan free from the clutches of armed forces is the biggest need of the hour as per them and is in regional as well as global interests. This can only be done through having a negotiated civilized approach to the issues (backed by hard options) at hand rather than talking to use nuclear weapons (4). But when other guy is completely hell bent on destruction of India, why one should commit Japanese type hara-kiri and Seppaku? Gandhian fad has to have a limit too. If some one slaps now, it is not possible to show other cheek. He would slap on the other cheek too with much greater force. Therefore, it is necessary to see what is actually wrong with Indian way of handling problems.
There are always some guys who get worked up and spit venom if some one suggests nuking Pakistan as all efforts have failed to put them in their place and when India is seriously threatened. If India does not do they would soon do (5). These ill informed and pseudo moralists in India are much worked up at the suggestions for the necessity of acting tough. Indians have seen how they attacked Bombay. It was done by handful of thugs from Pakistan without any mercy.Where these moralists have gone when they were slicing throats of innocent foreigners and Indians? India remained saber rattling and singing Ramdhun and Gandhi sermons. It was the most incompetent and impotent demonstration of national will in all times of Indian history. There is a great talk every where including Mr Zardari that Pakistan is under serious threat of take over by Taliban and Al Qaida.Poor guy genuinely accepted the fact. But we are not even brave enough to accept the fact that We are a bunch of incompetent people. What happened in Iran in 1979 is happening in Pakistan. Rather it is all most over. One should not be surprised if Laden ( If alive still) or Zawahari becomes the President of Talibanised Pakistan with all moderate leaders going to gallows. Iranian army has become stooge of Mullahs. Pak army is no different. It has no love lost to democracy. Soon we find all cheats, crooks and thugs and Islamic fundamentalists with long white turbans occupying positions of power in Pakistan and will have hold on nukes every one trying to press button. It will be a government by the thugs, of the thugs and for the thugs in a Wahhabi state. Army becomes part of it doing a devils dance. How can India save itself if these cheats decide to pass off a nuke to a motivated state sponsored terrorist squad and conduct an operation again in Bombay? Can the guys preaching sermons save India? They will be the first guys to run away. They may not live to do that even because the bomb could be on their place. How does such guy bring transformation in Pak people? Is it by going and falling on their feet, licking their boots and converting to Islam and performing Sunnat on self? Whole generations of Pakistanis have grown with anti Indian grinding in schools with minds full of venom. What is Iran doing? It is feverishly running after a nuke and threatens to erase Israel from the world. How Pak would be different? Pakistan has now become safe haven to these terrorists and general fundamentalists. If you want to survive, even a small snake has to be hammered with a long and stout stick. Pakistan would soon become a serious threat to India in particular and existence of Pakistan is based on hatred towards India. It was created as a result of hatred towards Hindus in particular. Can these sermon preachers deny this fact? How can they transform them to see reason? Even Gandhi could not prevent the partition and the consequent holocaust. These preachers do not realize the sufferings our elders went through. These arm chair advisers and pseudo strategists and self glorified moralists can only preach sermons. Nothing more. If India has to survive Pakistan must go or seriously disciplined. Unless India acts like Israel, there is no salvation. If international terrorism has to go, Pakistan must be disintegrated at the earliest. There is no solution next to it. Truth is very stiff and not palatable. So arm chair preachers of humanity should wake up and uphold national honor and make efforts to protect the country than promoting another partition of this country and final disintegration. God save this country from such pseudo guys with false notions criticizing all. Rather it is other way. They are doing more damage to the nation than the Professor or Bharat Karnad who wrote on Pragmatic Euphony as claimed who infact was practical with a final solution. Such guys do more damge to India than HUJI, Al Qaida, Taliban, SIMI, LET and JEM (6).
In fact, Indian foreign policy fundamentally suffers due to Gandhian back drop. We claim that India achieved independence through non violence and MK Gandhi is credited for that act. No one denies his greatness and achievement in those days. But things have greatly changed now. Pakistan fundamentally is hateful of India and Kashmir is the focal point. It was denied the state of Kashmir and ever since they lost it, it became the focal point for their hatred towards India. Entire generations have grown with hatred towards Hindus and India. Each and every Pak child grows with hatred towards India. The leaders can stay in power as long as they keep this tempo up. All policies of Pakistan are based on anti Indian strategies and plans. They have built up vast military fearing India as a big brother and consider themselves as a check mate to India in Indian Sub continent. The cold war period too contributed to this philosophy. With growth and emergence of Al Qaeda and Taliban, Pakistan’s philosophy has grown stronger and Al Qaeda is now calling the shots from Waziristan. Taliban stated it was ready to fight along with Pak army in case of a war with India. Thus all Muslim international outfits have united to wage war against India. India of course is alone in this fight.
India has failed to project itself as a strong state although India boasts of great military forces and committed soldiers, airmen and sailors and demonstrating our might every year on republic day parade with much arms swinging by the colorfully dressed soldiers (7).
India never confronted enemies with planning in past and all invaders across the western front defeated Indian forces all over the centuries and established their rules after screwing Indians very well. There could be few victories. But these were soon overcome by the determined enemy who believed in mayhem and murder to consolidate victories. These acts, Indians can never do by virtue of their heritage. All Islamic invaders were cruel and after every victory killed, raped, converted and carried away slaves leaving a trail of destruction. It has left despair and helplessness across the country. Present is no different from past. A small nation like Pakistan or even Bangladesh is dictating to us and our leaders develop cold feet for taking strong actions. In the world, really India has no friend in actual terms. All are lip sympathizers. All the Arabs for whom India shouts around were cats on the walls in all wars with Pakistan. To day Taliban and Al Qaeda are ready to fight for Pakistan if India confronts. All Arabs as usual keep away or side with Pakistan that is on Islamic card. Hindu is isolated from outside and from inside too. All our cities are harboring anti Indian pak sympathizers and terrorists too. Hyderabad tops the list. Next comes Azam garh. Subhas in the past said, “you give me blood I shall give you freedom”. All were not prepared to give blood. Although we got freedom after WW II due to incapacity of UK to rule from distance, Indians are unable to defend it decisively and we are being challenged even by Bangladesh. We can only show our teeth and smile. The nation is scared and indecisive. The leaders are too scared that world would condemn India if it attacked Pakistan. India is scared of Pak nukes. Pak takes advantage of the weakness. The pyre thus keeps burning. Hindu kingdoms never ventured to conquer except few south Indian kings in the past who invaded Malayan countries (8). They are not aggressive and remained passive spending more time in pleasure seeking, dance, drama and literature and building temples and of course with mutual fights. Automatically other guy who was aggressive and smart scored over Indians. The situation to day is no different. The nation is in the hands of some incompetent people who can not protect the freedom and honor. As you sow so you reap. There are many Gandhi worshippers and guys who get worked up on the talk of nuking Pakistan when situation demands.
Such Clouded and immature minds can not comprehend real threat to India that is lurking around the corner. Recently there was an article in a news paper published on likely nuclear threat from Pakistan through sea accepted by naval senior brass (9). Such guys at least should wake up after reading such news. Ostrich buries its head in sand and hopes that it is safe from enemy. This makes it clear about their perceptions about threat to India. Nehru did in 1962 and India lost till Kargil peaks were occupied by Pakistanis. Remember Pakistan will always show off as if it extends hand of friendship and from behind plans evil action against India while the guys with clouded minds accept these as truth. Also one should know that Pak army shall never allow civil government to function. Just imagine reverse roles in case of 1971 war. If Pakistan captured a lakh of Indian soldiers they would have not have let them off? They would have taken away Kashmir and India would have given away surely meekly as it handed over terrorists in Kabul. Some guys live in a false world with pseudo hopes of a better behaved Pakistan and it would be a mirage. Pakistan finds its glory in destruction of India. There is nothing more than that .
Indian foreign policies practiced from time immemorial have left no friend around and even tiny nations around India are with drawn swords. Outwardly they show their smiling teeth. But they will celebrate on India’s decay and fall. Who is to be blamed for this situation? No one else. India’s leaders are to be blamed for bringing the country to today’s pass. India has not demonstrated its will to resist all attempts of destabilization. Previous wars were defensive and India never attacked Pakistan. There were no preemptive actions. All these actions are the result of philosophy that Indians follow. Indian leaders are more worried about Gandhian legacy than national honor and security. Action after Bombay attacks is the lone example and this is enough to state truth. It was the acid test for Indian strength to defend itself. It is said that it is enough to check a single grain of rice from a pot to judge whether food is cooked or not. Bombay fall out is the clear and glaring example of Indian impotence in tackling Pakistan. Pakistan has grown bolder day by day and this has resulted in Bombay attack which is a national shame infact. India must wage war with Pakistan and demonstrate that we mean business (10). The present drama that goes on is a shame indeed and Indian masses are being fooled. Nothing will come out of the present actions and Pakistan has escaped the noose and India has lost the initiative. India must learn from Israel and that is the only way to survive in present environment. Pakistan is too weak economically and with one war it will collapse to ocean depths and this war has to be decisive and not like earlier ones where one captures one lakh soldiers and then hands over them after feeding them for months without bargaining and then say you scratch my back and I shall scratch yours. This was done because some one wanted to go down in Indian and world history with glory. Thus certain past actions have done more damage to the nation than any glory they brought.

This is not to recommend nuking Pakistan where many will die. In fact nothing much is known about Pak nukes. Probably much is made about them. Pakistan too would be shit scared to use nuke in a war as it knows that it could be the end of Pakistan after that. It probably prefers conventional war occasionally repeating nuclear threat. Pakistan is being pressurized by American President Obama to act against Taliban and Al Qaida. This is the best time to act against Pakistan and teach them a life long lesson. It will not listen to goody- goody sermons of Gandhi. It is time we put Gandhian philosophy aside and save our country. Gandhi worshippers will naturally rise with a sword. Even Gandhi could not prevent Partition and 1948 Kashmir war. His philosophy is fine up to some point. National security is more important than idealizing Gandhian thought and applying to every situation. Yet there are genuine people who are worried for peace and friendship with Pakistan and India sincerely wishes that relations with Pakistan improve and both nations live in peace with each other. Sadly Kashmir has become the greatest hurdle between the countries and entire confrontation is related to it. On the other hand partition riots have left bitter memories in India. Muslims who voted for Islamic party Muslim league favoring Pakistan to a tune of 90 % have not gone back to Pakistan and scores of them remained in India and Patel told in very clear terms that such men can not maintain dual loyalties. Sadly many of the Muslims maintained dual loyalties and a section of them has also been abetting terrorism in India that is not easily digestible to the people. After independence Muslims in general withdrew from main stream and isolated themselves into groups in order to maintain identity displaying in dress and habits. Muslims in general in India are worried of loosing their identity in a Hindu dominated society. They fear that they would be engulfed by the major religion. The slow rise of Hindu fundamentalism along with practice of Pseudo secularism in India has also caused division in society. Pakistan wars have added further mistrust. In all cases Pakistan has attacked India initially and India had to retaliate. 1971 debacle is the greatest insult to Pakistan and they are seething with rage and craving for revenge. By any means they want to bifurcate India. This is truth in fact. Of course Vajpayee and Morarjee improved relations slightly and basis hatred has not been removed. Pakistan thrives on hatred towards India and Army abetted the policy. Therefore relation with Pakistan can not be hoped to improve. Let us hope that in future some magic would occur and this mistrust would vanish and we live like brothers there is nothing wrong in hoping. But terrorist actions such as Bombay attacks surely frustrate people who crave for revenge. This can not be avoided. Gandhi sermons will not work all the time. It is of limited value. So please wait in hope and pray to God that better sense would prevail on people. As per the latest developments Pakistan is going Taliban way. Taliban was created by USA abetted Pakistan and it ruled Afghanistan till they were dethroned. It was a mad uncivilized rule trying to live times of the Prophet in changed times. The lunatic rulers were brought down by US after 9/11. The Taliban got entrenched in Waziristan along with Al Qaida and managed to swallow the Swat valley and Taliban almost spread in entire Pakistan. These are Pak Taliban. Even Pak President Zardari claimed that Pak would soon fall to Taliban (11). Entire thing depends on it’s Army. It is no doubt fundamentalist in view. General former President Zia ul Haq was a great fundamentalist who started terrorism on Pakistan soil. General Musharraf was also anti Indian and he ventured into Kargil war. He once called Indian as Kafirs. There is no doubt that Taliban would take over Pakistan and India would be face to face with Al Qaida 24 hours in a day. Guys who favor goody-goody behavior with Pakistan will wake up at least then when Taliban puts sword on India’s neck. Till then these guys will not stop Ostrich attitude. India thus has to take strong steps in countering Pak threat as Al-Qaida and Taliban are now next door to it. It no more would be Pakistan, but Talibanistan. India would be on knife edge with nukes in the hands of fundamentalist jihadis (12). If India can not wake up even now, there is no salvation for them and a swan song awaits India.
