The ongoing ‘Akhand Path’ in Pakistan!

The continuous recitation (without any break) of Kashmir, Kashmir, Kashmir, Kashmir and Kashmir for the past 60 years is like an ongoing Akhand Path in a pathetic ‘State of Pakistan’. You can not have any conversation with a Pakistani without inserting the “core issue of Kashmir”! What is the point in having a dialogue if India insists on talking about terrorism and Pakistan about Kashmir only? We have seen the same ‘nautanki’, many times before! The US and Pakistan insist on a dialogue with India and India has nothing to discuss if Pakistan does not stop state-sponsored terrorism. The biggest problem is the contradiction within Pakistan. The Pakistani Army-ISI combine can not survive without their only objective i.e. an all out effort of destabilizing India and the Pakistani political objective of holding on to power with the help of America and therefore India. Let me make a prediction, as long as Rahul Gandhi and his generation remains in power, India will not concede an inch on Kashmir. Translation, no compromise on the territorial issues for the next 20-30 years, with or without the American pressure. Where does it leave Pakistan with their unstable political process? Only Pakistan has to solve this problem, sorry guys!

The only solution to the Kashmir problem is through the “ballot box”! If the proponents of ‘Independent Kashmir’ want, they could contest state elections and win by atleast 51% majority. If they win enough seats in the state assembly, they would have their own ‘Chief Minister’. The ‘Constitution of India’ allows sufficient autonomy to the states if they operate within the confines of the established parameters. The case in point is the state of West Bengal that has been ruled by the ‘Left-Front’ for the past 30 years or more. The communist parties that constitute the left front have been largely faithful to their Chinese Communist Party masters rather than their own motherland, India. Despite such liberty, no secessionist sentiment exists in West Bengal or most of the eastern states of India. Kashmir could follow the example of West Bengal and have a government headed by a political party like ‘All Parties Hurriyat Conference’. The only problem is the Hurriyat Conference does not enjoy the support of even 30% of the population and their leaders know that. This is the reason the proponents of ‘Independent Kashmir’ refuse to participate in the political process of the state of Jammu & Kashmir. America and Europe and the entire ‘Western World’ are aware of this frustrating reality but still sing the song with Pakistan… “Kashmir, Kashmir, Kashmir, Kashmir and Kashmir”. Do Pakistanis really care about Kashmiris?

Bajrang Dal must be banned immediately

Bajrang Dal, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Shiv Sena are all criminal organizations and must be banned without any delay. At the same time, the Central Government must also ban the Indian Mujahideen (IM), Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and All Parties Hurriyat Conference. These are all anti-national outfits and do not represent either Hindus or Muslims on the main street. I am personally a ‘Hindu Hardliner’ and I take pride in India. My family has spent blood and treasure for the last 150 years for the freedom of India when these so-called Hindus were nowhere to be seen. Once we kicked the British out of the country, the phony Hindus come out on the streets. I am no pseudo-secularist but I take pride in our diversity. Muslims, Christians, Sikhs and all the minorities are our own blood. So what if they follow a different god, Don’t we all? Stop this ‘Hindutva’ garbage!
