To be frank, Modi's several surgical strikes over Pakistan bunkers didn't impress me one bit. The fact that they could be even manipulated made me doubt them some more. But more than anything, they didn't solve any purpose. Pakistan has been engaged with us in a Guirella Warfare. They are a small nation and could only prick us. It's us who make a big deal about it and shout foul. They kill our 4, we kill their 8. What do we gain? Soldiers are recruited for the very purpose on battlefields: To defend or die. It's the foreign policy that matters most. How we tackle an apparent threat from an Enemy nation in long and short term and what tactics should we employ form the Crux of it. BJP, the right wing national party of our nation, is when sitting in opposition makes such hue and cry over a Pakistani infiltration that it appears that when they would sit on the iron throne, they would obliterate Pakistan from World Map on day 1 of their regime. A man as Iron Willed a Modi too don't have any clue about what to do about Pakistan. Leave Pakistan. He has a government in alliance with PDP in J&K and despite Mehbooba's several pleas that only he could address the ongoing, difficult situations in Valley, the guy hasn't reacted. I really wonder whether he, Amit Shah and Ajit Doval are thinking of winning the upcoming state elections of Gujrat and Odisha. BJP and our many governments as a whole don't have a solid Pakistan policy at all. We haven't sealed the borders with them. Why? If we could make 10000 homes in Nepal and Sri Lanka, why couldn't we seal our borders with Pakistan? Why do the infiltration still occur? Why do our soldiers still get killed? Why does Pakistan still enjoy MFN status after the gruesome Pathankot attacks? Very difficult questions and neither Modi, nor our 'Modified-Nationalist' media have an answer for them....
But this isn't a derogatory post. No, not at all. While we don't have a great Pakistan policy, we do have a great functional China policy. After ceding Aksai Chin to China back in 1962, we really didn't buckle under significant Chinese pressure. We chided them further by giving Holy Dalai Lama refuge in our country. His Highness has a de facto, government in-exile, in Dharmashala, Himachal Pradesh. China keeps cribbing over him and we don't give it a single inch. Then this week, our government really made us proud when it boycotted the OBOR initiative of China that's due to change the geopolitics of world in 50 years time if becomes fully functional. All the great countries of our world attended this global summit. In our allies, only Bhutan didn't participate but does it even exist? Chinese foreign office sent us invites over invites, made numerous appeals to our technocrats and bureaucrats but nobody attended their call. To those who are still unaware of the reason of India's brave call, it's the CPEC I.e. China Pakistan Economic Corridor, a step under many developmental initiatives under OBOR, which challenges over sovereignity in PoK for it passes through it. China doesn't want to address this sovereign call as it think it's a matter between Pakistan and India but think of us as fools to let them preside over this disputed region. As of now, this region is 'Pakistan occupied', so we really cannot do anything about it except to nuclear bomb Beijing which in all probability is impossible to even think of. So instead, we chose 'Satyagrah' and boycotted it. Chinese media went mental about it because the world's fastest growing Economy, second largest consumer market, an immediate neighbour and a great trading partner skipped it. Simple. Just like that. Now that's solid and Tha fact that Indian government didn't make an u-turn on it or made an official statement, gladdens my heart more.
So Modi Government, you deserve a three-fingers royal salute at least on this front. Now do something about Pakistan to unlock your second 'three-fingers' royal salute!!!!
