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.
<b>History of invasion</b>
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.
<b>Pak-Bangla motive</b>
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.
<b>Are we tolerant or timid?</b>
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.
<b>What must India do?</b>
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?
