It is shocking that though through its well-planned
terrorist attacks and demographic aggression, Pak-Bangla combine is waging
a unilateral war against India, Indian government is treating the same as
a routine law and order problem, and not responding to it.
In the latest of such attacks, Pak-sponsored
terrorists massacred 32 Hindus on 30th April, 2006 in Doda in Jammu &
Kashmir. And as usual, the Indian Prime Minister just condemned the killings,
appealed for peace and harmony, and did nothing to punish the killers or prevent
such attacks in future.
And the same Prime Minister had ritually condemned
the killings and appealed for harmony after March 7, 2006 Bangladesh-sponsored
attack in Varanasi which had claimed over 30 lives. And the government had
gone through similar meaningless rhetoric after pre-Diwali Pakistan-planned
attack in Delhi in October, 2005 which had claimed 71 lives.
It may be recalled that during 1980s and 1990s,
Pak-sponsored terrorists killed thousands of Hindus in Kashmir forcing several
lakhs of Hindus to flee from Kashmir. And after making Kashmir a Hindu-less
region, terrorists have massacred hundreds of Hindus at several places in
Jammu region to drive out Hindus. The recent murder of 32 Hindus in Doda is
the latest of such assaults.
Lack of a deterrent Indian response has invited
more such attacks. In 2001, 16 BSF Jawans were murdered by Bangladesh Rifles
men without any provocation. But India did nothing to punish Bangladesh for
these murders. Even Pak-sponsored attack on Indian Parliament in 2001 went
unpunished.
The year 2002 witnessed attack on Raghunath
Temple in Jammu and Akshardham temple in Gujarat. 2003 saw Mumbai bomb blasts.
In 2005, terrorists attacked Ayodhya, New Delhi and Bangalore. And 2006 has
brought more of such attacks.
History of invasion
The recent attack on Doda is the latest of
a long line of unprovoked invasions Indian sub-continent has suffered since
Muhammad bin Qasim's Arab army attacked Sind in 711.
Starting with a zero Muslim population, Indian
sub-continent including the present day India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal,
Afghanistan and even a part of Iran was Hindu land till Muhammad bin Qasim's
attack in 711.
After repeated invasions over the centuries,
Hindus lost Afghanistan in 987. Pakistan was lost in 1947. And though Hindus
fought bravely to defend their religion and motherland, they suffered the
loss of millions of lives and plunder and destruction of thousands of temples
during the repeated attacks for over a thousand years.
Since present day India has become a soft
state with soft borders, Pak-Bangla combine is pursuing its mission to destroy
and 'bleed India through a thousand cuts'. Unless deterrent measures against
this unilateral war are taken, the latest victims of Doda would not be the
last.
Pak-Bangla motive
To defeat invaders, it is essential to know
their motive. Though India is a secular country, both Pakistan and Bangladesh
are Islamic Republics, and have driven out most of the Hindus and Sikhs from
their land since the creation of Pakistan in 1947. In 1947, Hindus numbered
24 per cent of the then Pakistan's population; but now number under two per
cent. In Bangladesh, Hindus numbered 30 per cent in 1947; but now number nine
per cent. In contrast in India, present percentage of Muslim population is
much higher than that in 1947. And Pakistan's ISI, and its loyal pupil Bangladesh's
Director General of Field Intelligence are determined to create one more Islamic
country on Indian soil.
And to achieve this task, apart from driving
out Hindu/Sikh population from their countries, Pakistan and Bangladesh have
sent countless terrorists and crores of their nationals into India. Besides,
they have planted a number of Madrassas on India's border with Bangladesh,
Nepal and Pakistan.
Dangerous delusions
Dangerous delusions about Indo-Pak and Indo-Bangla
amity harboured by some sections in India are inviting the invaders. And instead
of crushing Pak-Bangla design to destroy India, successive Indian governments
have followed the suicidal policy of drift, denial, and inaction toward invaders.
It is tragic that instead of implementing
the Supreme Court's judgement delivered on July 12, 2005 on Sarbananda Sonowal's
petition relating to deportation of infiltrators, UPA government is busy with
suicidal 'peace talks' and 'confidence building measures' like Samjhauta Express,
Muzaffarabad-Srinagar, Lahore-Amritsar, Khokrapar-Munnabao, Dhaka-Kolkata,
Dhaka-Agartala and other Indo-Pak and Indo-Bangladesh bus and rail links which
are bringing more and more Pak-Bangla terrorists and infiltrators into India.
Are we tolerant or timid?
Are we tolerant or timid; indifferent or insensitive;
or mere stupid?
Those lacking courage to confront their tormentors
are timid; not tolerant. It is a fact of life that cowards always remain in
peril since only courage can ensure peace. The adage, "if you want peace,
be prepared for war" is true. But successive Indian governments have
displayed only tolerance, and no action, thereby inviting more attacks.
Since those who behave like sheep are eaten
by the wolves, only a strong deterrent action, and no amount of tolerance
or emotional shrieks, will save India from continuing Pak-Bangla aggression.
What must India do?
Venerable Chanakya's Chanakya Niti and Sun-tzu's
Art of War as also countless lessons of world history emphasize the complete
crushing of enemies before the enemies crush us.
Enemies must be crushed; not embraced. Only
the strong deterrent action can defeat the aggressors.
Since the government policy of drift, denial
and inaction is leading to gradual Pak-Bangla take-over of India, nationalist
organizations, political parties and individuals have to assert themselves
to force the government to seal the borders, defend the nation; and stop surrendering
before India's tormentors.
Since drastic situations demand drastic remedies,
suicidal peace talks and confidence building measures like Indo-Pak and Indo-Bangla
bus and rail journeys must be discarded. Besides, doctrine of 'hot pursuit'
of international law must be invoked to chase the terrorists to their roots
and crush them. Moreover, terrorist network in Pakistan and Bangladesh must
be smashed.
The Supreme Court's judgement delivered on
July 12, 2005, and relating to Sarbananda Sonowal's petition, and The Foreigners
Act, 1946 must be implemented to deport crores of Pak-Bangla infiltrators
threatening the creation of one more Islamic country on Indian soil.
Since the unanimous February 22, 1994 Resolution
of Indian Parliament declares Jammu & Kashmir an integral part of India
and demands vacation of Pak-occupied Kashmir, any "flexible approach"
regarding Jammu and Kashmir will violate the said unanimous Parliamentary
resolution. Besides, since Article 370 of Indian Constitution has encouraged
separatism and brought genocide and eviction of Hindus from Kashmir, this
Article must be deleted to bring Jammu & Kashmir at par with other Indian
states.
Here it is relevant to quote Sir Winston Churchill
who deprecated British surrender before Germany before the outbreak of Second
World War thus, "Still, if you will not fight for the right when you
can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory
will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will
have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival."
Will India fight its tormentors now to prevent
grim tragedies like Doda massacre in future?
