When asked whether those who helped September 11, 2001 attacks on America could be forgiven, General H. Norman Schwartzkopf retorted, "It is God’s job to forgive, it is our job to arrange the meeting."
Compare this tough stance with India’s spineless approach to terrorist attacks which are ravaging the body and soul of India every day.
In the latest of such attacks on July 11, 2006, Pak-sponsored terrorists killed over 200 innocents, and maimed many more, in bomb blasts in local trains in Mumbai, India’s commercial capital. And as usual, the Indian Prime Minister made some hollow declarations against terrorism and the killings.
And immediately after the Prime Minister condemned terrorist violence, terrorists murdered five more Hindus in Poonchh in Jammu and Kashmir.
Long line of attacks
And the same Prime Minister had ritually condemned the killings after the terrorists had massacred 32 Hindus in April, 2006 in Doda. And the government went through similar rhetoric after Bangladesh-sponsored attack in Varanasi in March, 2006 claimed 30 lives, and after attack in Delhi in October, 2005 claimed 71 innocents.
It may also 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 been massacring Hindus at several places in Jammu region to drive out Hindus.
Even Pak-sponsored attack on Indian Parliament in 2001 went unpunished. 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 as already mentioned, 2006 has brought many more of such attacks.
These attacks are not isolated incidents; these are a part of a long line of attacks Hindus have suffered since Muhammad bin Qasim’s Arab army attacked Indian sub-continent 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.
Pak-Bangla motive
To defeat the 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. Moreover, Pakistan’s ISI, the most powerful organ in Pakistan, and its loyal pupil Bangladesh’s Director General of Field Intelligence, are determined to bleed India through ‘a thousand cuts’, and to create one more Islamic country on Indian soil. Successive ISI chiefs had all along been working in this direction.
And to achieve this task, 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.
Denial and self-deception
Instead of punishing Pakistan and Bangladesh for launching terrorist attacks, Indian government has a standing policy of denial, self-deception and inaction against terror; and is content with the ritual sounding of red alert after each terrorist strike.
Unlike what USA has done after September 11, 2001 attack; and what U.K. has done after July 7, 2005 attack, India has not taken any concrete action to prevent terrorist attacks.
Steeped in fake secular stupor, most of the Indian political parties and media are busy with disinformation campaign, and are inventing phony explanations for frequent terrorist attacks. Just like the government, most of the media are brushing aside the imperative need to defeat the Pak-Bangla demographic invasion and terror attacks; and are just emphasizing inanities like peace-talks and harmony.
Pak- Bangla consortium knows that it cannot defeat India in a full scale war. Since 1980s when Pakistan and Bangladesh started their war through terrorists, India has lost over 70,000 lives to terrorism. Due to the government’s policy of inaction and soft borders, innumerable Pak-Bangla terrorists are stalking all over India to strike at the place and time of their choice.
Winning an inevitable war
Considering the continuing Pak-Bangla demographic aggression and terrorist attacks, war with Pakistan and Bangladesh is inevitable. At present India is in a position to win this war. The day India stops wailing, and takes the war to the enemy territory, India would start winning the war against terror.
India has lost more soldiers in Pak-Bangla sponsored terrorist attacks than in its wars with Pakistan in 1965, 1971 or 1999.
Terrorism persists because its victims surrender. India has the capability to smash Pak-Bangla terrorism, but not the will. Attacks continue because India does not respond.
Pak-Bangla alliance wants to achieve through terrorism what it could not achieve in full scale wars with India in 1965, 1971 and 1999. Besides, the terrorists are able to select the target, time and place of attack, and restrict the war to Indian territory. This war has to be taken to the territory of Pakistan and Bangladesh.
The only solution
We cannot expect others to fight our battles. The injury India is suffering now is self-inflicted because of prolonged inaction against repeated attacks and demographic aggression.
Since the government’s policy of denial, drift and inaction is leading to gradual Pak-Bangla take-over of India, the only alternative for the nationalist organizations, political parties and individuals is to assert themselves, and force the government to crush India’s tormentors.
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. Since violence is the only language terrorists understand, only the strong deterrent action can defeat the aggressors. Accordingly, as per "doctrine of hot pursuit" of International Law, India must smash all terrorist network in Pakistan and Bangladesh; and if necessary, launch a war with these nations to make them see reason.
Suicidal peace talks and confidence building measures like Indo-Pak and Indo-Bangla bus and rail links must be discarded since they are inviting more terrorists and infiltrators to walk into India to attack security forces, to kill innocents and to blow up temples.
Further, 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.
Moreover, since the February 22, 1994 unanimous 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 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.
And unless India fights its tormentors and takes the fight to enemy territory, tragedies like the one that hit Mumbai on July 11, 2006, will continue to batter India.
