ON THE WRONG ROAD, AS USUAL
One of the problems of those blessed with pseudo-secular mindset is the belief that they have a monoply on compassion. At regular intervals, they spring to the defence of imagined grievances or deliberate ploys of the easy-to-defend types and attempt to guild trip the average citizen.
At this hour of crisis, when the whole nation is looking upto the govt. to act strongly against terror, govt. is totally confused as how to react to this problem. Govt. is sending wrong signals to Pakistan. One day Foreign Minister, Mr. Pranab Mukherjee warns Pakistan of dire consequences and asks them to hand over the terrorists to India, the next day our Prime Minister says we don't want to go to a war with Pakistan. Suddenly, out of the blue, one Minister Mr Antulay, who seems to have lost his mind, plays a communal card to appease muslims on the grounds that ATS chief's killing needs to be probed. What is the govt. upto ? It is in total dissray and does not know how to handle this situation. It's time to realise that our approach to terror has been repeatedly failing.
On the other hand, Pakistan's stand is very clear from day one. It completely disowns the terrorists, inspite of seeing and given proofs by our govt, FBI , Nawaz Sharif himself admitting and its own TV channel showing the footage, that terrorists are Pakistani nationals. Look at the contrast ! Till today Pakistan is in denial mode and playing its cards very well.
The international community has got the proofs from India and endorses the Indian stand. But they cant fight India's war. India has to fight its own war. Our govt, has created a mess out of a win-win situation with different voices coming each day. Pakistan's defiance is understandable and it is taking full advantage and benefit from these confusing statements coming from New Delhi every day. I am a layman and no expert on terror. But as a citizen of India, I am frustrated. Even a child who reads newspaper can suggest the following measures :
1) Get the international community on a common platform thru UN and declare Pakistan a " terror state ". i am
sure after seeing all the evidence, the international community will have no hesitance in doing so, except China,
as they are themselves are a the victims of terror, which comes from Pakistan. They are also looking for such
kind of measures, but India has to initiate as it is the latest victiom of terror in Mumbai.
2) Tell America in clear words that in case it cant rein in Pakistan, india is going to war with Pakistan. America
would never allow this kind of a situation to happen as it is tied up with the Pakistan's army on Afghan border
and wants Pakistan's support to crush Taliban. It would never want that Pakistan's army be relocated on the
eastern side of the border with India, otherwise the whole gameplan of America fails.
3 ) Set deadlines for America and Pakistan to deliver.
4 ) Warn China, that if it supports Pakistan any longer, all trade ties with them will be finished, as China as on
today is the biggest trade partner with India.
5 ) Launch covert operations in Pakistan. Pay them back in the same coin. Start supporting the Sindhi cause and
NWFP movement.
6 ) Form an Anti-Terror pact with America and Israel to put pressure on Pakistan.
7 ) Stop all trade with Pakistan wIth immediate effect and rein in America and the west not to give any kind of
military or monetary aid to Pakistan. First Pakistan has to disband its notorios ISI and other jehadi groups.
Only then the aid will start. Cripple Pakistan economically. America and the west will be too willing, being
victims of terror themselves. But again, India has to initiate.
8 ) Send a strong signal to Arab kingdoms in the Middle East to stop financing Pakistan based terror groups.
India should look towards Russia and other middle eastern states who are oil rich. India consumes a large
chunk of world's oil. Arabs will become alert. In the meantime develop alternate energy like biofuels,
electric vehicles and mass transport system like Metro. Spending on infrastructure will doubly benefit.
Dependence on oil will be reduced and economy will get a booster too and employment opportunities will
increase.
9 ) India should offer its airfields on temporary basis to America and Israel. Strong message will go to pakistan.
10 ) Tell the west in plain words, that India would not buy nuclear reacters or equipment, nor would it buy arms
and ammunition from them, if they dont support India. India is a billion plus population with a huge middle
class, even larger than any European country. Every country in the west wants to have an Indian pie and
foothold in India, be it cars, FMCG products, fast foods etc.
I would like to state once again, that i am no expert on terror. There are many experienced and knowledgeable
people who can suggest better ways. Please check me if i am wrong somewhere and add your comments to awaken us atleast, what more needs to be done. I have put my suggestions of whatever little knowledge i have.
INDIA MUST TALK IN A HARD WAY AS IT IS AN EMERGING SUPER POWER. NO COUNTRY IN THE WORLD CAN AFFORD TO TAKE INDIA LIGHTLY.

pakistan must be taught a lesson.
Kundra Sahib,
International politics is different from an indvidual countries' politics. Human beings have one Earth but different cultures. You may read my articles on Google. By just thrashing one country on the basis of media news is not the solution of hate culture. We as top human minds must think how can we generate love in the minds of different cultures so that they may understand the importance of universal love. Human's journey is from uni-thinking to universal thinking.
Dear Greatminds,
I tried to google your website, but there are 2-3 websites. Can you please let me know about your articles and your website ?
