जम्मू कश्मीर में सैनिकों का राजनीतिक क़त्ल - गुनहगार कौन???

CRPF के जवानों पर पुलवामा में हुए हमले की ज़िम्मेदारी केवल पाकिस्तान अथवा पाकिस्तान समर्थित आतंकियों की ही नहीं है। इसके लिए हर वो शख़्स ज़िम्मेदार है जिसने जम्मू कश्मीर की समस्या हल करने की जगह उसपर राजनीति की है। इसकी शुरुआत 1947 के विभाजन से शुरू हुई एवं पिछले 72  सालों से चल रही है।  

यदि हम इतिहास की और रूख करते हैं तो पाएँगे कि जम्मू कश्मीर का वर्तमान स्वरूप अंग्रेजों एवं जम्मू के तत्कालीन महाराजा गुलाब सिंह जी के बीच हुई अमृतसर संधि के बाद आया। अगले 100 सालों तक इसपर महाराजा गुलाब सिंह जी (डोगरा) के वंशज राज करते रहे| 1857 में महाराजा गुलाब सिंह जी के बेटे रणबीर सिंह जी राजा बने एवं 1925 में रणबीर सिंह जी के पोते हरी सिंह जी राजा बने| महाराजा हरी सिंह 1925 से 1947 तक जम्मू और कश्मीर के शाषक थे एवं उन्ही का एक निर्णय जम्मू कश्मीर की वर्तमान हालत का प्रथम चरण है| 

जैसा की हम सब जानते हैं कि 1947 में महाराजा हरी सिंह जी ने जम्मू और कश्मीर को एक आज़ाद देश रखने का मन बनाया था, किन्तु पाकिस्तानी हुकूमत जम्मू और कश्मीर को पाकिस्तान में सम्मिलित करना चाहती थी| पाकिस्तान ने सबसे पहले पख्तून मिलिशिया एवं पूँछ के बागी समुदाय के बल पर जम्मू कश्मीर पर हमला किया| महाराजा हरी सिंह ने जब भारत से मदद की गुहार लगाई, तो भारत के तत्कालीन प्रधानमन्त्री (जवाहर लाल नेहरू) ने इसे दो देशों के बीच का आपसी मामला बता कर मदद करने से इंकार कर दिया| उधर पख्तून हमलावरों एवं पूँछ के बागी लगातार नरसंहार करते हर जम्मू एवं श्रीनगर की तरफ बढ़ रहे थे, जिसे देख कर महाराजा हरी सिंह जी ने जम्मू और कश्मीर को भारत में शामिल करने की संधि कर ली, एवं भारत ने सेना भेज कर हमलावरों को काफी हद तक खदेड़ दिया| जो मात्र एक हिस्सा छूट गया था वह आज पाक अधिकृत कश्मीर के नाम से जाना जाता है| यहाँ पर यह जानना जरुरी है कि इस सब के बीच में गिलगित बल्तिस्तान के कार्यकारी निरीक्षक (ईस्ट इंडिया कंपनी का एक अधिकारी) ने गिलगित बल्तिस्तान वाले हिस्से को पाकिस्तानी हुकूमत के सुपुर्द कर दिया था अतः पाक अधिकृत कश्मीर में गिलगित बल्तिस्तान का उल्लेख नहीं होता है| 

अब यह एक सोचने वाली बात यह है कि जब भारतीय सेना ने हमलावरों एवं बागियों को पीछे खदेड़ दिया था तो पाक अधिकृत कश्मीर कैसे बना? जी, यहीं पर जम्मू कश्मीर की समस्या का द्वितीय चरण बनता है - तत्कालीन प्रधानमंत्री जवाहर लाल नेहरू का इस समस्या के समाधान के लिए UN में जाना| महोदय UN के पास समस्या ले कर गए और LOC (लाइन ऑफ़ कण्ट्रोल) खींच दी गयी| माने या न माने, सत्य यही है कि द्वितीय चरण में हुई इस गलती का खामियाजा भारत के जवान आज तक भुगत रहे हैं एवं उनके परिवार आज तक माटी के लाल खो रहे हैं| 

तृतीय चरण पर हुई गलती 1965 के युद्ध में| एक बार फिर यहाँ पर पाकिस्तान ने ऑपरेशन जिब्राल्टर के तहत जम्मू कश्मीर में घुसपैठिये भेजने की कोशिश की एवं भारत के तत्कालीन प्रधानमंत्री (लाल बहादुर शास्त्री) ने युद्ध की घोषणा कर दी| यहाँ पर तत्कालीन सोवियत यूनियन एवं संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका द्वारा मध्यस्थता कि गयी एवं 17 दिनों में युद्धबंदी हुई| कश्मीर समस्या के हल के लिए ताशकंद समझौते पर हस्ताक्षर हुए, किन्तु वहीँ लाल बहादुर शास्त्री की संदेहास्पद मृत्यु हो गई| अब गलती इसमें यह है कि लाल बहादुर शास्त्री की मृत्यु पर एक राजनितिक हत्या का संदेह जाता है, किन्तु इसके कोई प्रमाण नहीं है| उनके पार्थिव शरीर की अंत्येष्टि भी बिना पोस्ट मोर्टेम के की गयी, अतः कोई प्रमाण मिलने के आसार भी ख़त्म हो गए| जी, यही है इस चरण की गलती| 

उसके बाद 1971 में पूर्वी पाकिस्तान में हुई बगावत, भारत द्वारा भेजी गई मुक्तिवाहिनी के बदले पाकिस्तान द्वारा भारत पर हमला इस पुरे वाकये का चौथा चरण हैं| 1971 में जहाँ भारत ने पूर्वी पाकिस्तान को बांग्लादेश के रूप में एक आज़ाद देश बनवाया, वहीँ पश्चिमी पाकिस्तान से काफी हद तक पाक अधिकृत कश्मीर, पंजाब एवं सिंध का हिस्सा भी अपने कब्जे में ले लिया था| फिर हुआ शिमला समझौता जिसमें भारत के तत्कालीन प्रधानमंत्री (इंदिरा गांधी) ने भारत द्वारा कब्जा किया गया संपूर्ण क्षेत्र वापस पाकिस्तान को दे दिया एवं LOC को ही जम्मू और कश्मीर की शाश्कीय रेखा मान लिया| यहाँ पर इंदिरा गांधी द्वारा एक अहम् फैसला गलत हुआ, उन्हें पकिस्तान को मजबूर करना चाहिए था कि संपूर्ण जामु और कश्मीर से पाकिस्तान पीछे हैट जाए तभी भारतीय सेना सिंध एवं पंजाब से पीछे हटेगी| 

इस समस्या का पांचवा महत्वपूर्ण चरण है 1984 का सियाचिन में हुआ एक छोटा सा प्रकरण| इसमें भारत ने ऑपरेशन मेघबूँट द्वारा सियाचिन पर तो कब्ज़ा कर लिया किन्तु तत्कालीन प्रधानमंत्री (इंदिरा गाँधी) ने फिर एक बार एक मौका खो दिया जिससे वे सियाचिन के साथ ही बाकी का कश्मीर, गिलगित बल्तिस्तान वापिस ले सकते थे| 

छठवें चरण पर आता है 1990 में हुए कश्मीरी पंडितों का क़त्ल एवं उनका कश्मीर से पलायन| इसपर ना तो तत्कालीन प्रधानमंत्री ना ही किसी तथाकथित बुद्धिजीवी ने कभी कोई बात कही ना उस समस्या का आज तक कोई निदान हुआ| 

सातवें चरण पर आता है 1999 का कारगिल युद्ध जब तत्कालीन प्रधानमंत्री (अटल बिहारी वाजपेयी) एवं उनके नेतृत्व वाली सरकार ने भारतीय सेना को LOC पार करने से रोका एवं एक अत्यंत महत्वपूर्ण मोर्चा खो दिया| 

उसके बाद पिछले 20 सालों में और भी कई बार भारत ने पाकिस्तान के इरादों पर पानी फेरा और 2016 में उरी में हुए हमले के बाद सर्जिकल स्ट्राइक भी की, किन्तु कोई ठोस परिणाम नहीं आया| आज भी जम्मू कश्मीर में आतंक वादी भारतीय सेना पर हमला कर हानि पहुंचा रहे हैं| 

पाकिस्तान ने धीरे धीरे कश्मीर को पाकिस्तान में शामिल करने के अपने इरादे को आज़ाद कश्मीर की लड़ाई का नाम दिया और आज उसे उसने धर्म का अमली जामा पहना कर कश्मीर को इस्लामिक देश बनाने का काम शुरू कर दिया है| इस्लाम के नाम पर, जेहाद के नाम पर, भारत के जगह हिन्दू राष्ट्र के खिलाफ बगावत के नाम पर पाकिस्तान कश्मीर के लोगों को भड़का रहा है| यहाँ तक की उसने सियाचिन के उठता में एक हिंसा चीन को उपहार स्वरुप भी दे डाला है| इसपर भी भारतीय राजनितिक तबका  केवल UN जाने की बात करता है एवं शिमला समझौते को मानने की बात करता है| 

यहाँ पर यह बताना भी अत्यंत महत्वपूर्ण है की UN सुरक्षा समिति में भारत को चीन से पहले स्थाई सदस्यता मिलने वाली थी, किन्तु तत्कालीन प्रधानमंत्री (जवाहर लाल नेहरू) ने अपने चीन प्रेम में  वह स्थान चीन को दे दिया एवं बदले में १९६२ का युद्ध पाया| आज वही चीन जैश के संस्थापक मसूद अज़हर को विश्व स्तर का आतंकवादी घोषित करने के खिलाफ UN सुरक्षा समिति में विरोध कर रहा है| 

अब आप ही बताइये की इस पुरे प्रकरण के विभिन्न चरणों का विश्लेषण यही तो कहता है कि भारतीय राजनीति में जम्मू और कश्मीर की समस्या समाधान हेतु कोई ठोस कदम नहीं उठाया| इसी कारण से आज पाकिस्तान अपना सर उनचार कर मसूद अज़हर, हाफ़िज़ सईद एवं अन्य आतंकियों को पनाह देता है एवं पाक अधिकृत कश्मीर (गिलगित बल्तिस्तान सहित) में आतंकियों को ट्रेनिंग देता है| 

और हमारे राजनीतिज्ञ क्या कर रहे हैं? हुर्रियत के लीडर्स को, ओमर अब्दुल्ला, मेहबूबा मुफ़्ती एवं ऐसे अन्य नेताओं की सुरक्षा हेतु दिन के २३ करोड़ खर्च करने में लगे हैं? क्यों? इससे जुड़े अन्य ज्वलंत प्रश्न है जिनके देश की जनता उत्तर चाहती है - 
  1. क्या यही २३ करोड़ कश्मीर की जनता के लिए इस्तेमाल नहीं हो सकते? 
  2. क्या यही २३ करोड़ सेना के जवानों के लिए खर्च नहीं हो सकते? 
  3. क्या अलगाववादी ताकतों की सुरक्षा माटी के लाल की जान से बढ़कर है? जनता अथवा सेना देश के लिए जीती है, किन्तु अलगाववादी एवं मेहबूबा मुफ़्ती जैसे नेताओं ने इस देश के लिए ऐसा क्या कर दिया है कि उन्हें सुरक्षा देने की जरुरत है?
  4. क्या पकिस्तान को सबक सिखाने के लिए एक बार, केवल एक बार भारत पहले हमला नहीं कर सकता? 
  5. कब तक हम छद्म युद्ध झेलते रहेंगे और अब तक हमारा देश माटी के सपूतों की बलि देता रहेगा?
  6. कब तक मोहन दास करमचंद गांधी के शान्ति के पथ पर चल कर हर गाल पर थप्पड़ एवं पीठ में छुरा खाते रहेंगे? इन्ही ने विभाजन के समय पाकिस्तान को ५० करोड़ रूपए दिलवाये थे, जिसका ब्याज हम आज भी आपने सपूतों के बहते खून में देख रहे है| क्या आज की इस समस्या में इनकी जिम्मेदारी नहीं है?
  7. कब यह देश नेताजी सुभाष चंद्र बोस एवं भगत सिंह के सबक नहीं पढ़ेगा और पाकिस्तान से धोखा खाता रहेगा?
अंत में यही कहूंगा कि जम्मू और कश्मीर की ज्वलंत समस्या की सम्पूर्ण जिम्मेदारी हमारे लोभी राजनेताओं की है, एवं जब तक वे अपने लोभ से उठ कर देश हित में नहीं सोचेंगे, तब तक हमारे सैनिको को अपनी बलि देनी पड़ेगी| भारत के हर सैनिक की शहादत को जहाँ मेरा सलाम है, वहीँ उनकी मौत का जिम्मेदार भारत का हर राजनेता है जो सत्ता लोभ में विलीन है|

Pulwama Terror Attack

February 14, 2019 brought the sad news to me and the nation about the dastardly Pulwama / Awantipora Terror Attack in which 40+ (44 at the time of writing this article) of our braveheart CRPF brothers martyred.  The attack is said to be owned by Jaish-e-Mohammad led by the mastermind Masood Azhar.  Here I would like to bring to the notice that Masood Azhar was arrested in Kashmir and was later released in 1999 by then BJP government in return for the 155 Indian Airlines passengers who were held hostage in Afghanistan. Today, JeM formed by Masood Azhar carried out the deadliest terror attack of decades.

The terror attack was already hinted by the intelligence units once again identified the lack of uniformed communication and uniformed act to avoid the losses of our brave brothers.  The specifics I would note here that lead to this attacks success are - 
  1. Ignorance to collate the intelligence inputs to derive the details
  2. Ignorance of the intelligence inputs and not cordoning the Highway for movement of CRPF convoy (seems armed forces are not considered VVIP, when they need to be)
  3. Ignorance of the intelligence inputs and still going ahead with 2547 strong convoy rather than the norm of 1000 per convoy
  4. Ignorance of the fact that such a big convoy is always monitored by the infamous neighbors of India and this gives them enough time to act even if the date and time wouldn't have been decided in advance
There could be other aspects that the government would look into, but the biggest aspect that needs to be looked at is the way Political atmosphere is packed in India along with the activities by the Pseudo intellects on Twitter - Consider following - 
There are other's too in the fray, but the above two have actually taken the aspects to heights under the pseudo liberal umbrella.  What is the need of the hour is to forget our differences with each other, be it political or be it ideological, and join hands against terror.  Check the one below from the ex CM of J&K and see what she is echoing seems to me a separatist agenda
I mean, a politician rather than condoning the attack is calling foul on the news channels or a party specific activity? How shameful is that when her own family somewhere is part of bowing down to the terrorist demands when her father was the Union Home Minister during VP Singh Government and when her own 23 year old sister Dr. Rubiya Mufti was said to be kidnapped (within the first week her father assumed the position of Union Home Minister).  Now, rather than standing with the nation and the armed forces, she is herself sounding like a separatist? This is seriously a situation that the people and the government should take note of.

The need of the hour is to contain the aspects of what the national sentiment is - Take Strict Action against Pakistan.  Well that is something that the meeting of Cabinet Ministers may mull over and that is something that the Armed forces would have to step in to state anything after assessing the detailed aspects.  But one thing that we need not forget here is about the preparations Pakistan would have made before the attack "If the inputs that ISI trained the attacker to execute this attack stands true". That would mean that Pakistan would have already anticipated that there would be some Re-action from India like the previous Surgical Strike and that would mean that they would be ready to deal with that sort of action.  It would not be right to get caught in the national sentiment of revenge and react to yield anymore loss.  Any decision to take any action needs to be a Joint decision by the Cabinet, the Generals of Armed Forces and the NSA. Something that should be closed and well thought of.

The need of the hour for any pseudo intellect is to stay calm and not stoop down like the above highlighted tweets and keep personal vendetta against channels and anchors away from the National Interest.  They might personally not like each other, but this is a case of National Mourning and they should not use this to spew venom and hate against each other.

With the attack, terrorism has once again raised its head in the Valley and this needs to be dealt with strict action against the terrorists and their sponsors who so ever they are.

My sincere condolences to the families of Martyrs and request to the nation to unite for the Fight Against Terrorism.

Attack on Uri Base Camp

Indeed a sad day laden with the sad demise of 17 brave soldiers of Indian Armed forces in Uri Base Camp after that dastardly attack on the camp by the terrorists. Though the terrorists as the count read (4) were neutralized and till the last news that came in, search and combing operations were still on, the death or say the Martyrdom of the 17 soldiers would bleed our heart.  It was an attack once again and this time not on the streets but at the Camp where the soldiers were.

This attack at Uri was once again orchestrated from across the LOC and by the well known orchestrators sitting across the LOC in the confines of ISI in Pakistan.  These orchestrators enjoy that freedom of movement and support from the masses in Pakistan and the infrastructure from the ISI and Pakistan Army.  So it is a proven fact that Pakistan is indeed a rogue nation that needs to be brought to justice for all the atrocities impacted on the Indian Armed forces, their families and India as a nation.

It is high time that India resorted to a like for like approach and an approach that would say Jaw for a teeth.  It is time for India to that that plunge in and declare an all out attack on POK to destroy Pakistani forces there and along with them the Terrorist Heavens.  And this attack shouldn't be just a surgical strike, it should be a strike to take back the control of POK as well as Gilgit Baltistan that is indeed integral part of India but under illegal occupation of Pakistan.

There might be a fear of Nuclear war with Pakistan trying to use it as a mode of retaliation, but we need nor bother about one or two Nuclear strikes.  They would be able to attack Delhi or Mumbai with their Nuclear arsenal, but we have better capability to destroy Islamabad, Lahore, Rawalpindi and Karachi all in one go.  We as India would rise up back from the Nuclear attack, but Pakistan would be destroyed for once and for all.  They are already under $74 trillion debt and going bankrupt.  So if their spine would be broken once, they wouldn't be able to stand again to the level that they would even think to support any terrorist activity in India.

It is critical for the GOI to not budge under any national or international power and viewpoint, and resolve to teach Pakistan to bite its own toe and nail.

War is the way, If they want it that way!!!

Should India Do it

Terrorism has hit India hard time and again from almost the time I remember it. The problem in Kashmir was always existing from the time of freedom from British rule; the problem in Punjab was bred over years than controlled, but again is showing the sign of going the militancy way; the problem of SIMI; the problem of Indian Mujaheedin (IM); the problem of naxalites, the problem of Bodoland. One can keep counting on these points and they would be ever existing.

Most of the problems are existent in India due to state sponsored terrorism; thanks to Pakistan and to certain extent China. Pakistan would have spend more on sponsoring terrorism in India specifically in Kashmir and in Punjab than actually spending on its own development. It has always engaged in Proxy War Fare except for couple of times when it was beaten to dust by Indian Army. Still, if we would do an analysis of the Terrorist operations in India, 90% of them can be easily linked to Pakistan. There are pretty much every terrorist link that originates in Pakistan; Interesting!!!

Coming form that point, if the recent Intelligence inputs are to be believed, Pakistan's spy agency and the God Father of Terrorism in the South Asian region, ISI has plotted yet another way to create unrest in India. This time ISI went on to create communal disturbance by orchestrating murders of Hindu Leaders (may include some prominent Politicians) and thus instigating the communal riots between Hindu and Muslim Community. They are planning to use the SIMI and IM sleeper cells through the links of Dawood Ibrahim (the master mind of 1992 Mumbai Blasts). The whole game plan is expected to spread across states where the communal tensions already prevail and these include - J&K, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Bihar, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. If reports are to be believed, this orchestration of plan would be staged somewhere in March and April, more close to the festival of Holi, the Hindu Festival of Colors. Trailers of this showdown has already been provided for in Punjab by igniting the communal tension with the recent case of torn pages of "Guru Granth Saheb".

So, now the million dollar question to be asked is - "Should India hunt down Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar to end one of the most chased cases in world Crime?" It's not that India would be the first one to do it. We have seen US, Israel, France, Russia, Britain and couple of other nations doing it. We have witnessed India doing it on the eastern border or Myanmar. 

Though in my previous post, I had mentioned that the act of terror can be ended only and only by addressing the resentment, but of that you need both the parties on the table. With specific case of Pakistan as well as Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar, the situation is something that would baffle anyone in this world. We have seen that overtime they have come on the table, their security forces or the ISI or their proxy war groups led by likes of Hafeez Saeed, Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar and others have created disturbances either on the border or in the heartland India. In this case specifically, I personally feel that a surgical strike is something that is much needed to bring down the leaders of these terrorist groups.

It would however be interesting to see how the world leaders would join the forum to suggest India to restrain itself from any such surgical strike. They would preach the doctrine of negotiations and self controls and patience and what not, but they themselves would do absolutely different. So, the answer to the question - Should India Do It? lies in the way India braces the decision to do it. Conduct a surgical strike and get over the idiocy of these terrorist leaders. For once India should close its ears, stop listening to the World and go get those bastards and execute them. Yeah certainly some of the NGOs would shout out, the Prestitude Indian Media would try to make TRP news by opposing such move, the Shameless Politicians would try to raise slogans against the government and there would be few other minor disturbances in the country, but overall it would be good for India.


As per my thoughts that certainly are contradicting the doctrine of addressing the root cause, I would say that India Should Do it. India should conduct surgical strikes to wipe out likes of Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar and Hafee Saeed to create that void to connect and coordinate with the disorganized terror outfits like SIMI and IM, which operate more with the help of Sleeper Cells. I guess its high time to get this sorted out for once and for all, post which Pakistan can be dealt more with International Politics or other ways.


One thing for sure - It is time to shoot form the Gun rather than shooting from the lips and making statements like "If another Mumbai or Delhi happens, Pakistan would lose Baluchistan". Such statements basically serve as a challenge that should rather be given in action than in words. No one in India would want to witness another case or terror either in Mumbai, Delhi or elsewhere in the country.


Time to Act - Go Get Them, Do it for once!!!

July 27 Another Fateful Day

Just as we the Indians woke up in our country, we were greeted with another horrifying news of yet another terror attack in just another city of India. But this time again we can't just sit relax and accept it as Just Another Attack. You must be thinking WHY not. So consider the following equations -
  • Yesterday on July 26 we celebrated Vijay Diwas to commemorate our victory in Kargil. 
  • Pakistan has time and again failed to break Kashmir away from India
  • Infiltration through LOC in J&K has become increasingly tough
  • This is the time of the year when infiltration has to happen per terrorist masterminds as another couple of months and it would be tough to infiltrate. This would mean another few months of wait.
  • So considering the above points, it so seems that the terrorist masterminds chose a porous border of Punjab. Why?Well Punjab as a state had become complacent of its action against Terrorist and everyone around thought terrorism wouldn't return.

Another aspect, what I feel would have played out in this case is of the overall disturbance they would want to create in our country so that they are able to revive the terrorism in our Country.

Now looking at the case, it would be highly suggestible to not just put the security forces of country on High Alert, but to ensure that the borders are sealed and that the attempts to infiltrate are foiled.  At this time, it is speculated that the group at Dinapur, Gurdaspur is part of a larger infiltration attempt that was successful some 25 days or a month back.  If so, then it is important to ensure that the group is or at least 1 from this group is caught Alive.  Though just now when I heard that Government has instructed the security forces to catch them live, I felt disgusted, yeah Ajmal's case played in my mind.  But. consider how critical it would be to know their plans and how critical it would be to ensure that the larger group is traced and neutralized as soon as possible.

The government needs to also ensure that the entire western border as well as the border with Nepal and Bangladesh is monitored as there have been cases where the terrorists have either infiltrated through those countries our fled through those countries.  Not that those countries are directly involved, but the borders with those countries are too porous for an easy infiltration.  

At this time, with the Gurdaspur Attack, I would be wary of the intentions of those handlers in Pakistan and try to push more and more terrorists in India and the other states that may witness similar situations would be Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra. Specifically talking about the Rajasthan and Gujarat, then the Government needs to note that the two states are active routes for the Drug Peddlers and illegal trade to & from Pakistan.  And well if you are thinking that these peddlers would support terrorism, then yes you are right as the peddlers would do anything for that extra money. As is these peddlers are pretty much engaged in human trafficking too.

So, at this time we need to take a few lessons home from National Security Perspective and ensure that every step is taken to curb the illegal traffic between India and Pakistan. 

Also, there is another important lesson that needs to be learned and that is for those Media Companies and Journalists. It would be better if they would not show any feed live or delayed irrespective of the situation.  The terrorist handlers sitting on the other side of the border are not idiots enough to not extrapolate the incidental situation for another 10 or 15 minutes.  The delayed feeds  depict the position of the security forces and the formation that can be well used to extrapolate the things.  Media Houses need to be behave responsible and should not just try to raise their TRP for such reporting.

Nigeria Massacre

Amidst the entire frenzy around the Peshawar attacks, the attacks on Charlie Hebdo office in France, the world missed the worst ever act by Boko Haram in Nigeria.  The attacks that are reported to be lasted almost for 3 days (similar to the case in France where the 3 or 4 attackers killed 17 French citizens) recorded in excess of 2000 deaths across the villages in and around Baga in Northern Nigeria

The act by Boko Haram in Nigeria looks like a case of Ethnic Cleansing. as per the report the Islamist Militants just opened fire or sprayed bullets indiscriminately across the Baga Neighborhood.  In the current scenario or the recent acts of violence, this certainly is the deadliest act, an act of brutality and a crime against Humanity.  But why is the Social Media silent on this? There are many questions that are to be answered by the world and the netizens across the geographies.

Millions marched in Paris raising voice against the Charlie Hebdo incident, with world leaders joining in.  US media criticized President for not participating in that march.  But what in the world did the dead in Nigeria do to not get the attention of the world?  If the dead could speak, then am certain the victims of Boko Haram act would seek a clarification from us on this side.  
  • Is it that the incident in France is once is a blue moon sort of incident and that's why the World and the Social Media was abuzz with that?
  • Is it that France is a prominent player in the world economy and is a leading country in eurozone, that it got he attention from the world?
  • Is it that the victims in Charlie Hebdo were Well Educated Economists and Cartoonists that got the attention of the world?
  • Is it that the victims of Boko Haram massacre were just another living being and didn't matter to the world?
  • Is it that Nigeria as a country is already destabilized with ever lasting fight between the government and the Islamist Militants that doesn't draw the attention of the world leaders?
  • Is it that Nigeria is just another country somewhere in Africa and doesn't have the economic or political stand in the world and world map?
There are many such questions that may seem to be vague and idiotic, but need to be answered by the world.  

By Far the massacre in Nigeria is a bigger crime against Humanity and violates the nature's law of "Live and Let Live".  This certainly doesn't undermine any other terrorist act, but highlights the depth of crime against Humanity.

Are we sensitive against Crime Against Humanity or are we waiting for the day that would make us believe that the world needs to unite against terrorism and such acts of heinous crime?  Are we still lodged in an era of First / Second / Third world and will stand up only when the higher category gets impacted?

Shame on us!!!! for our silence!!!

Pakistan - At its Best - Alleging India

The turn of events with BJP coming into power in India and the stand the Indian Government took in last year, made us see a change in the outlook Pakistan had about our country,  The decision or say the right stand that Indian Government took with regards to calling back its officials from the discussion / negotiation table with Pakistan is viewed by Pakistan as a point where India is disengaging itself from the talks.  Why shouldn't India do that for Pakistan is continuing its support to the terrorists time and again.  The Pakistani Rangers are resorting to unprovoked shelling and firing across the LOC after the Indian forces failing their attempts to push terrorist (so called Jihadis) into Indian territory.

As a follower of India-Pakistan love and hate relationship with less love and more hate, I have been following the whole case very closely.  I have been following all the terrorist attacks as executed in India as well in Pakistan and have viewed most of the talk shows and interviews (on you tube).  But the most astonishing one had been the one where Pakistan went ahead and claimed that India is waging a war against Pakistan by supporting Terrorists in Afghanistan and organizing terrorist attacks in Pakistan through Afghanistan. All I could say "What an Audacity of a failed nation?"  They went on air to even say that the attack on Peshawar School was staged by terrorist motivated by India and challenged the 5 consulates India has in Afghanistan.

Mia Musharraf, though himself is facing treason charges, went on to say - "Though Culturally, Politically, Ethnically and with other factors, Afghanistan is closer to  Pakistan, Why is India training Afghan military and why is Chief of Army Staff of Afghanistan goes to IMA passing out parade as Chief Guest?"

On the other hand the ex ISI person Hamid Gul also went on the air to raise fingers on India as Mia Musharraf did and say that India is responsible behind the terrorist attacks in Pakistan including that on Peshawar School.

The audacity of Pakistan to raise voice and point fingers at Pakistan has reached heights where they say that India is destabilizing efforts of Pakistan to support fight against terrorism, when the world knows where the training camps for most of the terrorist outfits are.  We all know that likes of Lakhvi and Hafeez Saeed roam free in Pakistan and the terrorism in Kashmir is being supported by them. And to draw the attention of the world, they are making such baseless allegations that India is driving terrorism in that nation....

Pakistan, the nation that is itself two timing the world with terrorism is pointing fingers at India....and we certainly can't even laugh at that as terrorism is a serious matter to deal with...Who would know the ill effects of it more than India....the worst sufferer by the hands of terrorists
