India - The Biggest Victim In The Ongoing US-IRAN Tension

In 1998 as President Bill Clinton was facing an impeachment vote,he ordered airstrikes on Iraq which led to delay in voting of impeachment proceedings against him.It is widely believed that Clinton ordered the airstrikes to divert public attention from impeachment proceedings.Eventually Clinton was impeached but he still came out of it as he was acquitted in the Senate trial.

It is often said that History repeats itself .The killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani on 3rd January 2020 near Baghdad International Airport by American Drone Strike on the orders of Twitter Savvy US President Donald Trump who stated that General Qassem Soleimani was plotting attacks to hit American installation like military base and Embassy in the Middle East.He even blamed General  Soleimani for the attack on Israel Defence attache in Delhi Embassy which had taken place way back in 2012.Just like Iraq airstrikes during Clinton presidency the timing of  attack on General Qassem Soleimani  has certainly raised many eyebrows and very few people are taking in Trump defence of launching Drone Attack on Iranian General.

Just like Clinton tried to divert public attention from his impeachment proceedings,Trump is trying to shore up his image among his countrymen.President Trump is selling Old wine in new bottle.Trump though unlike Clinton is already impeached before Drone Strike,He awaits Senate Trial.He is trying to shore up his ratings among his country lawmakers as well with his domestic audience.

Unfortunately it is Iraq which bore the brunt in Clinton ordered Airstrikes in 1998 then and now in Trump ordered Drone Attack.Not to forget Iraq was invaded by Americans during George W Bush under false pretense of it hording Weapons of Mass Destruction.

It was none other than Donald Trump who had accused his predecessor Barak Obama will launch war on Iran to help him get re-elected as a President who knows how to take decisive decisions.

Despite not achieving its political objective in Afghanistan,Iraq and Syria,America under Trump is itching to take on another country.

In all this geo-political tensions it is India which is the biggest victim among all other countries in the region.

Till May 2019 India was one of the largest purchaser of crude oil second only to China from Iran.Iran was the only OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation-a group of around 57 countries)country ever come to India’s rescue on Kashmir as it blocked a resolution by other members of OIC to ask the UN Human Rights Council to sanction India.

Iran is the only Islamic country which has always stood in support for India in all International Bodies.Today with the increasing tensions between US And Iran has resulted in surging of crude oil prices,it will leave a big hole in India's economy which is already grappling with slowdown.The automobile industry already reeling under the impact of increasing capex for transitioning to BS-6 Complaint vehicles will be hit.Also biggest impact will be felt by aviation players.

On top of this Pakistan will emerge as an important ally  again to decision makers in Washington D.C. Just like how Pakistan soil was used as forward base for American troops after 9/11 to launch strikes in Afghanistan,Pakistan will cunningly make the most of it's location as Iran Neighbour and will welcome Americans with both arms to use their soil in return for funding which it desperately needs now as it's on the brink of  economic disaster.

This US-Iran tensions is like God sent gift to Pakistanis.Don't be surprised if you find that American assets used for attacking Iran should things escalate further from here were found to have taken off from Pakistan Air Force Bases.If there is a major escalation Pakistan will use this opportunity to create mischief on its eastern front with its arch enemy India as it knows America will turn blind eye since it needs Pakistan support in order to attack Iran.

In all scenarios it is India which will be the biggest victim.

Reversing Mistakes

Ever since Government of India abolished special privileges to residents of J&K given by Article 370 of our constitution it has been a Burnol moment for Pseudo Secular's and Anti Nationals. They have been making huge hue and cry stating that Indian Government has created a huge mistake.The same people were silent when our Kashmiri pandit's were killed.They chose to ignore when our Kashmiri Pandit mother's and sister's were raped and killed. Everyone opposing Government of India's move should read Our Moon has Blood Clots-written by Rahul Pandita.

These pseudo-secularist are even going to the extent of  projecting COAS Bipin Rawat with Colonel Reginald Dyer-the butcher of Amritsar.Take a look at the below pic which is the tweet of Prashant Kanojia whose twitter bio says he is ex-Indian Express and the Wire.When we have people like these we don't need enemies Like Pakistanis and Chinese.These people are more dangerous and can do more harm to our country.

There 

Fact is a mistake committed by the erstwhile Govt has been reversed by today's Government.

The bifurcation of Jammu and Kashmir under which two Union Territories - Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh will also help for better administration in Ladakh which has been unfairly neglected by all Central governments all these years owing to kashmir disturbance draining up most of the resources alloted to state.

This Central Government led by Narendra Modi and Amit Shah is the most decisive government our country ever had.It is widely believed that the Defense forces top brass put pressure on Government to revoke the draconian Article 370.It was Now or Never.We are lucky to witness this historic moment and bold decision of Government.

This much was sure that this Government would abolish Article 370,The recent statement by POTUS Donal Trumph offering his services to resolve Kashmir dispute not once but twice may have accelerated Government of India's decision.As USA is looking desperately for face saving excuse to pull out it troops from Afghanistan and amid tensions with Iran,Pakistan has again gained centre-stage in America's Foreign Policy.America will in likelihood turn blind eye to any Pakistaan's misadventure like another Pulwama or another 26/11 type of attacks.If such a misadventure by Pakistan occurs Government this time will use the opportunity to redraw LOC in areas where we are at disadvantage like Haji Pir Pass which was captured by our forces in 1965 only to be squandered away in peace talks which followed.It was the same terrain which is a boon for Pakistan was used by terrorist when they attacked URI camp which led to killing of 19 of our brave men.

Time and again Government of India has gone out of the way to accomodate and bring full integration of brain-washed kashmiri's youth into mainstream but time and again Government has suffered for the appeasement.It was about time Government revoked Article 370.Today if special status which was granted to J&K has been withdrawn it's because of Kashmiri youth brazen challenge to the rule of the law.Our country has suffered a lot because of  Article 370.It was this blunder commited by then erstwhile government which made Kashmiri youth believe that it was they who call the shots in valley.The resultant price has been paid by our Soldiers from Army,CRPF and J&K Police -the best and bravest police force of our country.Too much blood has been given for a dispute which our country should have resolved much way back.We had a golden opportunity in 1971,2001 Parliament attack, post 26/11 attacks in 2008. 

Though Army says they are totally prepared to deal with any Pakistan's misadventure, Balakot Air strikes showed what Army couldn't achieve in Operation Parakram spread over 8 months was achieved by IAF in a single strike.The Operation Bandar as rumored to be name of mission of airstrikes at Balakot showed in today's warfare it's the Air Force which plays the most decisive factor.

The Generals at Rawalpindi GHQ are under immense pressure to get back at India and they will create some spectacular attacks leading to India's retaliation so that they can get world powers to excercise restraint and bring Kashmir dispute back in worlds focus.How India responds Militarily and diplomatically will make this Government's move of abolishing Article 370 either a success or failure.

We have still not avenged Pulwama

On 26th February 2019,the world woke up to news of airstrikes executed by Indian Air Force at 3 locations in Pakistan at Balakot,Chakothi and Muzaffarabad.

            After the dastardly attack at Pulwama on CRPF convoy Pakistan was anticipating retribution from India.Hence they had moved all their terrorist from launchpads and training camps close to LOC to deep inside Pakistan.What made this Strike different was though there was an airstrike in 2000 using Mirage-2000 Aircraft but even then our fighter jets had not crossed LOC.We crossed LOC after 1971 war  and striking Balakot which is around 65 kms from LOC in khyber pakhtunkhwa province.India had signaled Pakistan and to entire world that it was ready to escalate tensions with Pakistan to its defined level and had called Pakistan's nuclear bluff which it always threatens to use on India.The entire country which was calling and demanding for justice went euphoric.Pakistan as always declared the airstrikes didn't cause any infrastructure hit and Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor DG ISPR  even shared pics of an alleged damaged area caused by one of the bombs which failed to hit the target.The fact that PAF next day tried to cross LOC and target Rajouri Military HQ at broad daylight and also the fact that Pakistan has sealed the camp at Balakot and not allowed any media to visit the site itself shows that the bombs did hit the camp.But like every India -Pakistan skirmish,it is always Pakistan which has won the perception battle.Not only they have denied any infra hit at Jaba Top in Balakot  but they have also withheld the death of Wing Commander Shazaz Ud Din who was lynched by people of Nowshera when his F-16 was taken out by Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman who was flying in vintage MIG-21 Bison.The act of Swallowing important documents by WC Abhinandan when he realised he had landed in POK speaks volume of his courage and grit in face of adversity.It is because of officers and like Wing Commander Abhinandan our country has withstood the vicious attacks perpetrated,sponsored by Pakistan.

          Indian Foriegn Secretary Vijay Gokhale announced the air-strike in press conferance which ideally should have been announced by Military personnel like DGMO,or from IAF.When the videos of Wing Commander Abhinandan had become viral it was MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar who announced the details of PAF attempt to bomb Rajouri  Military HQ and about missing IAF pilot.This was done at 3.30 pm when the videos had gone viral around noon.All this while on the other side of border the media briefing was handled by Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor who undoubtedly has been the biggest liar in subcontinent in the past week.Pakistan has repeatedly denied India managed to hit Jaba Top camp at Balakot and the fact that India has not released any proof of the same has further helped Pakistan in making people and the world to believe that the Air strikes failed to hit their target.

     Pakistan has always won the perception battle against India.On the day Pakistan PM Imran khan announced in Pakistan assembly that he was releasing Wing Commander as a gesture of peace Donald Trumph who was in Hanoi for meeting North Korean supremo had indicated that very soon there will be good news from Subcontinent.This was 6 hours before Imran khan's announcement .This itself showed that Pakistan released Wing Commander from their captivity only because of American pressure.Pakistan's ISPR has brilliantly projected the entire repatraition process as their gesture of peace and have painted Imran khan as a statesman and have painted our PM Modi as war monger.

    Indian liberals have been heaping tons of praises for Imran Khan ignoring the fact that Imran Khan is nothing but a mascot who is being used by Pakistan Army as their democratic cover.More than Pakistan our stupidity is our biggest enemy.People who went euphoric as soon as India announced Air strike believing that we had avenged Pulwama by striking thier terror camp forget the fact that the Jaish -E-Mohammad Chief Maulana Masood Azhar is still alive.Though the airstrike at Balakot was a daring raid by IAF  and though we have inflicted casualties on enemy. We have still not avenged Pulwama.Because the casualties will be reinforced by none other than Maulana Masood Azhar by  brainwashing Pakistan's and kashmiris's youth.Attacks like Pulwama,Parliament,suicide bombing at J&K Assembly will be repeated unless and until we take out the terror masterminds like Maulana Masood Azhar,Hafeez Saeed and of course the ISI.

      Though Pakistan was able to de-escalate the situation because of capture of Wing Commander Abhinandan,we must praise the dominance IAF displayed.For 3 days no commercial airlines were flying over Pakistan.IAF Completely dominated the skies.Modi while speaking at India-Today conclave decalared had the previous government brought in Rafale the situation today would have been more favourable towards India.Let's hope we are able to sign 110 Aircraft deal sooner because it is a crime on our part for making officers like Wing Commander Abhinandan fly MIG-21 Bison in Combat Air Patrol when enemy has 4th Generation fighter jets.We can say that our country is in safe hands because it is protected and defended by officers like Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman.And let's not forget the Maulana who ordered his men to attack CRPF convoy is Pulwama is still alive.The day we get him,only then we can proclaim we have avenged Pulwama attack.

Pakistan : Brace Yourselves

The dastardly attack on CRPF convoy at Pulwama which martyred 40 personnel has closed the door for any resumption of peace talks with Pakistan which many Aman Ki Asha brigades were advocating after Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan declared his intention of creating Kartarpur Corridor.

The same Imran Khan who was saying he was ready to walk extra mile for peace with India has not condemned or spoke a word on Pulwama.

The biggest culprit here is China which has cunningly remained silent and not condemned the attack when all the major countries have done.It is the same China which blocked India's bid not once,twice but three times when India tried to get JEM chief Masood Azar designated as global terrorist at United Nations.

Though we have suffered a tremendous blow with casualties and moral,this Pulwama attack has given us one more golden opportunity to reverse our past mistakes on negotiation table some of which is still damaging us.The Haji Pir pass which was captured in 1965 was foolishly returned to Pakistan.The same Haji Pir pass today gives Pakistan an edge when it comes to terrain.This same terrain advantage was reportedly used by the terrorist when they attacked Indian Army camp in URI in 2016.

The scale of attack at Pulwama attack has made Military action inevitable.Pakistan's deep state  has for the first time failed in it's timing of attack.Pakistani's have always mastered the art of initiation but  faltered whenever India retaliated.The fact that Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan Ajay Bisaria who arrived in Delhi on Saturday mentioned to media while leaving MEA office that he will be in Delhi for many days  is a sure sign of indication of a massive retaliation in works.Also the fact that the country will be going to General election in three months and the public declaration by PM Modi that he has given free hand to retaliate to avenge Pulwama leaves no doubt that retaliation against Pakistan will be massive and symbolic also.

Already there are media reports that Pakistan has already shifted terrorist from Launch Pads near LOC.People advocating that had it been Israel they would have taken instant retaliation forget the fact that India's geopolitical location is totally different from that of Israel.Not only the LOC is heavily mined on both sides.Yesterday we lost a young Major Chitresh Bisht who was diffusing an IED planted by enemies in Rajouri.Also our airspace has heavy commercial traffice and most of the flights flying west from Delhi fly over Pakistan Airspace.Once Air power is unleashed our airlines will have to take detour like the way they did when Pakistan airspace was blocked after Parliament attack when war clouds were looming large.We cannot afford to have incidents like the accidental attack on commercial airlines like the one Malaysian Airlines plane which was mistaken for Ukraine Military plane by Russians at the height of their hostilities.Hence we cannot compare Israel response when faced in such situations to that of India's response. There is no doubt that retaliation will be taken but like last time it should not be a one off operation.Time and again we have given concession to Pakistan on negotiation table only to get stabbed in the back.With the present state of Air-Force we cannot sustain longer duration of intense war.However even today our Air-Force has edge over Pakistan and in all likelihood air power will be utilised.The retaliation when it comes will be massive and will force Pakistan to come to negotiation table.Let's hope Modi government does not repeat the mistakes the previous governments did where the squandered away all the tactical Military gains achieved through blood and sweat in the hope that Pakistan will mend it's ways.

Those who don't learn from history are condemned to repeat it.

Retaliation will be taken.Deaths of our soldiers will be avenged,it is only a matter of time.
Jai Hind.Long live Sacred India.

The deceit of Kartarpur corridor

It all started with the hug between Navjyot Singh Sidhu and Pakistan Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa at the swearing-in ceremony of Imran Khan as Pakistan's PM.This incident was later condemned by Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh.Though Sidhu later defended his hugging-diplomacy by stating that Gen Bajwa said to him that they will open Kartarpur border on Guru Nanak Dev's 550th Prakash Parv.Also Sidhu was made to sit beside Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir President, Masood Khan.Clearly Pakistanis had tricked Sidhu.

Though Sidhu may today proclaim that his bonhomie with Imran Khan has beared fruits as not only Pakistan policy makers have started the process of kartapur corridor but also Modi government has made U-turn on it's tough stance with Pakistan by inaugurating its own facilities for building the corridor in Dera Baba Nanak in Punjab, right up to the international border on the 10th anniversary of the Mumbai attacks.Pakistan has cleverly tricked India again by making the first move on declaring their intention of creating Kartarpur corridor which will allow pilgrims from India to visit Gurdwara Darbar Sahib without a visa throughout the year.Pakistanis knew India had to follow suit for political compulsion.Though this is a emotive issue for Sikh's as Gurdwara Darbar Sahib, Kartarpur in Pakistan is one of the holiest of shrines for Sikh community but the fact is Pakistan is creating this corridor for only 1 clear purpose.To incite and evoke passions of the visiting Indian Sikh pilgrims with the intention to revive the old Khalistani movement.Pakistan sole  intention is to create trouble for India through Kashmir and through the Khalistani movement keeping the Referendum 2020 (motion to secede Punjab) in mind.Pakistani'shave played this mischief in Nankana Sahib where the billboards of Khalistan 2020 were prominently displayed.

                                         [The pro-Khalistan banners put up in Nankana Sahib]

This exposes duplicity" of Pakistan policy makers,"While on the one side Pak is trying to show its human face by allowing Indian pilgrims, on the other side it is promoting secessionist tendencies in India.

India’s most wanted Khalistan terrorist lives in plush militarystyle quarters, adjoining Lahore’s Allama Iqbal International Airport.Wadhawa Singh Babbar,the head of the deadliest Khalistani terror group, Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), along with his ISI minders, remains engaged in trying to revive the long-defeated Khalistan movement in Punjab.

Pakistan policy makers have mastered the art of deception and have always succedded in tricking India.At the Kartarpur Sahib inauguration, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan spoke at length of imrpoving ties with India.But at the same event, presence of Khalistani terrorist Gopal Chawla stood as testimony to Pakistan's sympathy for extremist forces active against India.

                       [pakistan-Army-chief-Gen-Bajwa-greeting Khalistan activist Gopal Chawla]

Today all the Aman Ki Asha propogators who will be linking the developments of Kartarpur corridor with bringing down of Berlin wall need to be reminded that in Berlin people belonged to same ethnicity,same religion,same language.Indians and Pakistanis can never reconcile because of the wounds of Partition which the British cleverly executed because of existence of primordial religious emotions.Time and again Pakistanis have bitten us and like every time we have never learned our mistakes and went on repeating this mistake.Let's not forget our 56 soldiers are languishing in Pakistan jails since 1971 despite India releasing 93000+ soldiers of surrendered Pakistan Army soldiers.Every Pakistan Army officer before getting commissioned in Army is made to take a vow that they will avenge the humilation of surrender at Dhaka.

                                                       [Lt Col Shahid Mehmood Malhi]

Lt Col Shahid Mehmood Malhi,head of ISI’s Lahore detachment, which sponsors Punjab-specific activities is the brain behind “Referendum 2020” — a movement started in Canada and some European countries by rights groups to ask for Khalistan.It proposes the date for launching Referendum 2020 as “6 Jun 2020”,the 36th anniversary of Operation Bluestar.That's the real intention of Pakistan's move of opening up Kartarpur Corridor to bleed India again in Punjab.

Shooting own foot

On 17-May-2018,Home Minister Rajnath Singh announced on Twitter that the Center has declared unilateral & conditional ceasefire in J&K.This move is reminiscent of of the ceasefire announced by the 'Atal Bihari Vajpayee' government in 2000-2001.Home Minister Rajnath Singh went on to tweet that this initiative is to help the Muslim brothers & sisters to observe Ramadan peacefully and without any difficulties.When terrorist kill innocent Hindu Pilgrims travelling to Amarnath shrine then why is government announcing ceasefire during Ramadan?This is nothing but appeasement politics!What has Ramadan got to do with fighting the enemies of the country?The terrorist sympathizers who want peace for terrorist during Ramadan remain mute when terrorist happily kill and slaughter innocent people around the world.

     The non-initiation of combat operations (NICO) undertaken in 2000-2001 failed to achieve any concrete results and instead led to a surge in violence levels.On the contrary,terror outfits also regrouped and planned future strikes like the ones on the J&K legislative assembly on October 1 and Parliament on December 13, 2001.Don't be surprised if History repeats again.Don't be surprised if there is an attack like URI attacks during this ceasefire

    Pakistan is very smart and lucky because their declared enemy-India is foolish,doesn't learn from History and almost every time shoots at own foot.

The Centre deservingly got a slap on it's face when Lashkar-e-Taiba  rejected the Indian government’s call for ceasefire claiming it would be ‘treachery with the martyrs’ and they shall continue the armed struggle until and unless Jammu & Kashmir is freed from Indian Occupation.

When the terrorist organisation is not asking for ceasefire why did Centre went out of way to declare one when the Indian Army was having edge in counter-insurgency operations.In recent months many top-level militants were killed??Since when one won a battle by declaring unilateral & conditional ceasefire.No wonder we have been victims of Pakistan unconventional war.Time and again we have surrendered our military gains on negotiation table and we committed this folly when we had edge & when we were in stronger position.We are a country of fools.A sad fact.

This Ceasefire is an insult to our security forces and their families who fight to save lives in J&K.

The ARMY Chief should have taken a strong stance and refused to obey this politically motivated order of the government.We will pay a heavy price in coming Days.At that time Don't blame Pakistan blame Centre.

To Tackle China-We need an alliance on the lines of NATO With ASEAN

India hosted the 25th ASEAN-India Commemorative Summit on the eve of Republic Day 2018. The very presence of leaders from the 10-member Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN)which includes Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, and Brunei was a message to a rising and belligerent China that India will not shy away from being a pro-active player in the ASEAN region which has a huge strategic value as over 80 percent of China's oil imports transits straits of Malacca which  is a gateway to South China Sea where 50% of India’s trade flows.

Among the ASEAN Countries Myanmar in recent years has been in China's sphere of influence,Myanmar has allowed China to construct new pipelines to transport gas and oil overland.It will be quite interesting to see how India brings Myanmar back into it's fold.

China enjoys unmatched riparian dominance it has 110 transnational rivers and lakes flowing into 18 downstream countries.Recently China cut off the flow of a tributary of the Brahmaputra River to build a dam as part of a major hydroelectric project in Tibet.China has also built six mega-dams on the Mekong River-the longest river in Southeast Asia.Mekong rises in southeastern Qinghai province, China, it flows through the eastern part of the Tibet Autonomous Region and Yunnan province, after which it forms part of the international border between Myanmar (Burma) and Laos, as well as between Laos and Thailand. The river then flows through Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam before draining into the South China Sea south of Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon).

China proclaims South China Sea belongs to China at the same time it also declares Indian Ocean doesn't belong to India.In recent years China has got into high-tempered disputes with Vietnam, Philippines and Laos over disputed islands on the South China Sea.

The recent political crisis in Maldives where the incumbent President Abdulla Yameen who is known for his pro-China policies has imposed emergency and has arrested Chief Justice of Supreme Court.If we allow the situation to slip away we will be losing perhaps the last golden opportunity to keep chinese away.

We should use this differences to build an alliance on the Lines of NATO(In which if any one of these nations was attacked, the others were bound to help defend it.) with ASEAN countries & USA  because neither India or any of ASEAN countries has the Military might to face China alone.

Recently,Defense Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in a press conferance confessed China after agreeing to disengage from Doklam stand-off has built helipads,sentry posts and trenches for its army personnel in close vicinity.China will keep us on tenterhooks and keep us engaged on multiple fronts.Time and again we have gone extra mile to improve ties with our neighbours be it Pakistan or China only to be backstabbed again.Biggest example of our foolishness is recognizing Tibet as a part of China in 2003 when China has been fomenting terrorism, insurgencies, and separatism in North-East India since 1960s.China has always supported Pakistan by military aid inorder to keep India engaged in fighting Insurgency.Using it's veto power China has even gone to the extent of repeatedly blocking India’s move to designate Masood Azhar a terrorist under the Al-Qaeda Sanctions Committee.Ironically it was India which passed on the veto power which it was offered to it and suggested China for the same.Today China supplies 63% of Islamabad’s arms need.Chinese like Pakistanis have been playing dirty game with us.

Recently Indian Army COAS General Bipin Rawat said ISI & China have purposely formented Bangladesh immigrants problem inorder to change North Eastern states demographics.Many ASEAN countries have shown intrest in purchasing BRAHMOS Supersonic Cruise missile and AKASH Surface To Air Missile.A Militarily strongh ASEAN will be in our nation interest.Recently our government in a strategic movie signed an agreement with Singapore for using their Naval base for refuelling,re-arming.Also there are reports of India being allowed to build Naval Base in Oman and Seychelles.In order to tame China an Alliance with ASEAN Countries alongwith USA on the lines of NATO is the only way.Our survival whenever war breaks out will depend in how much measure USA will support us.It all depends on USA.
