The State of Kashmir does not need any help from Indian media to promote picturesque landscape, temperate climate or captivating flow of visitors. Though courtesy Modi’s handling of Kashmir, white skinned tourists of western nations are now out-of-bounds and have since stopped visiting the paradise turned into a heavily militarised zone of the planet earth. Peaceful Kashmir, is now turned into a hell with the Indian gory details written all-over the State.
Indian multitudes disguised as tourists have become an environmental hazard, a pollution manufacturing industry and a workshop for religious fanatics busy creating intrigues and mischiefs. The Indian mainstream media directly under the control of Modi’s agencies are trying to convey a message that all the natural attributes of Kashmir have emerged only because India forcibly occupied it.
The on going unofficial visit of Pakistan’s lame and imposed political leadership to Saudi Arabia (April 08, 2024) in a joint statement pressed India to settle Kashmir dispute bilaterally with Pakistan. India feels amply satisfied as it knows it can, while accepting the dispute as a factuality, take a somersault and create a confusion asking Pakistan regarding settling the issue of Azad-Kashmir. The political ploy has worked to India’s advantage for the last seventy seven years but the attention Kashmir received globally after Imran Khan’s speech at the United Nations turned the tables against India.
Part of the freedom struggle, posters have reappeared in illegally occupied Kashmir asking people to be wary of BJP’s anti-Kashmir agenda. India is mainly banking on the delaying tactics hoping that the international community at some stage might accept Amit Shah’s magic formula of turning State of Kashmir into Indian dream of union territory. However, the people in India with upper storey reasonably full know that the far-fetched idea is not going to materialise.
Narendra Modi in an election campaign in India’s Saharanpur district again bamboozled Indian poor and ignorant electorate saying that the mission of conquering Kashmir is accomplished. It is reminiscent of the gloating statement issued by India in 1965 India-Pakistan war when its top ranking BJP member ML Sondhi marching in NewDelhi streets shouted to passer-by people that “We have captured Lahore and the city is now ours”. Nearly fifty-seven years back Pakistan surprised India of its defence capabilities pushing Indian army back to where it belongs with a bloody nose.
In a freshly plastered narrative, Amit Shah and the comrades perhaps jolted by the developments vis-a vis Palestine liberation and a dream cum true situation, talk of state elections, statehood for Kashmir State hoping to brush the blood-soaked details under the carpet. United Nations, ICJ, Human right organisations and the powers in control conclude that the planet earth cannot afford to live with the arrogance and audacity of few rogue nations. India has come to realise that the tables have turned and the Independent Kashmir is written all over the wall. Now what Modi is scared of is the backlash full of anger from RSS supremo Mohan Bhagwat as some Godse could be waiting in the wings to carry out the orders.
Rishabh Sharma reports in India Today (April 08, 2024) that Saudi Arabia backs India’s stand on Jammu & Kashmir. Sharma also mentions that the joint statement was issued by Pakistan’s Prime Minister and the de-facto ruler Prince Muhammed bin Salman on April 07, 2024 at Al-Safa Palace in Mecca. Sharma shamelessly implied that Prince Salman is either scared of Indian surgical strikes or is so naive not to understand the Hindu dupery, artifice and deception. The statement clearly stressed on a solution to the State of Kashmir based on honesty, sincerity and goodwill. But India routinely banks on the head in sand mentality.
It is believed that October 07, 2023 changed the perspective of the global political situation. Israel’s superpower myth flatly broken and on the back-foot turned it from a relentless nuclear power of the middle-east into a nation fighting for its survival. The total annihilation of Palestine conveniently converted into a two-state solution imagined anecdote does not find any takers. Palestinians and the allied stakeholders are signalling a click on a revert link to the State of Palestine as it existed before May 14, 1948. The war hysteria in the middle-east on the rise and Israel focussed on Iran could spiral into a global conflict causing a widespread worry for the international community.
A clear mischief of the Palestinian map shown in brackets as Land of Israel is visible as the British mandatory map does not explain or give any historical background to justify it. The might is right formula was used back in time to force the decision down the throats of international community. Now the matching of war machines using the latest drone technology and strategy to play around with the war games has paid dividends to the once browbeaten, harassed and subdued nations. The only country at the risk of turning into a mound of rubble is Israel.
All the humanitarian aid waiting to enter Palestine through Rafah border has gained entry and the aid is slowly reaching the nooks and corners of war-ravaged Palestine State particularly GAZA. The majority vote at the UN broke the backbone of the war hysteria venerate to legitimize the wrong over the right. But in an expected move US warned that Israel will be judged on the results of Gaza aid decisions. As is reported all the aid has reached the destination points in Gaza and elsewhere. US, it seems, has grabbed the opportunity to play a Samaritan at no cost.
Israel is using all its war strategy to drag Iran into a direct confrontation hoping to involve US to widen the scope of the conflict to punish Iran. Whereas Iran has so far played its cards wonderfully well. The political thinkers believe that Russian upper hand in Ukraine has left very few options for US to join in the Israeli war as the war has already spread to Yemen, Lebanon, Syria and Iraq. Moreover, US can’t afford to jeopardise, if not political, but economic relations with the rich Arab nations and the Islamic world. All believe that Netanyahu’s display at UN of New Israeli Map was a bad move.
India has a reason to worry as the silence across Kashmir does not indicate happiness. The sham parliamentary polls, if at all held, are supposed to safeguard Kashmir’s identity, its resources and political rights. Kashmir converted into an open prison giving its two million terrorists in uniform a blanket permit to kill, torture and raze the properties with impunity. Amit Shah blinded by the military power from the roof top of Indian parliament shouts that No one has the guts to throw a stone in Kashmir. How can a stone-throwing teenager fight heavily armed terrorists in uniform when most of them have either been killed or imprisoned in various Indian jails or have simply disappeared.
India has finally come to realise that Israel with full backing of US and its powerful allies is not even able to dislodge the military wing of Hamas, a very popular political party of Palestine. India having no such military or political backing available will soon be faced with much bigger resistance of freedom fighters with natural advantage of the 95% secured borders of the landlocked State of Kashmir.
Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone, but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to cemetery …………..
