Articles of the year 2020

Modi’s predicament today is one Of his own creation. He has been threatening pakistan ever since our independence. Attacking us every forum. The Kashmir issue is one of the most long lasting disputes. His insistence of controlling the Muslim of Kashmir who are in a minority in the valley.
This control is cruel and excessive and is now in its 11th month of curfew throughout the valley. Even the United Nation Human Rights Commission has taking note of this behaviour.
Modi has scrapped Article 370 of the Indian constitution to enable the Hindus of India to purchase the Muslim lands in Kashmir which were banned under the constitution. And the rights of the Muslims were guaranteed. With this removal of 370 is fanfare of the RSS has BJP on the assertion of Hindu supremacy was cheered by modi supporters.
The loud cheering of the BJP government suddenly fell salient when the unexpected claims of disputed territories started arising. The first was the Chinese move of Ladakh long since claimed by China. The Chinese moved swiftly with their military they brushed aside any pretends of democratic niceties and expanded their presence to the territories they had claim.
Now the dictum possession is 9-10ths of the law will prevail. The local population in Ladakh does not exist and the Chinese claim and presence is more than enough to guarantee their control.
The ensuing prices in Ladakh is a serious threat with the ability of the Indians to respond militarily over such a largest expands of territory and distance. The Indian generals will have a hard time to responding to the Chinese presence. The Indian bombast has been exposed for the empty threat that it is. The wildly Indian diplomacy cannot match the Chinese resolve and their military superiority.
The Indian Media is screaming of the Chinese thrust but in the face off superior military force and the legal arguments the cries are shrill and will be soon forgotten. India would have to live with the present scenario. The media may be adapt with Pen and Ink but sadly short of weapons.
Interestingly Nepal that has till now been a surrogate vassal State to India. Past a resolution through his parliament unanimously, rejecting the Indian claim on foe of its territory. These maps have been redrawn and are now the official Map of Nepal.
The government of Nepal will now establish its rite over this areas and if there is any resistance the. The Nepalese government has state that its will send there its military. The last thing the Indian Military would like is to face the Gurkhas in battle. The reputation of the Gurkhas as warriors is well known throughout the history. And no bluster or bluff can hide the truth.
The Indian soldiers will not relish the thought of facing the Gurkha on a battle field. The most recent development is the handing over of power in Afghanistan to the Taliban. The Taliban warrior has beaten the Russians and the United States and the combined European forces. Making them the most successful fighters in the world.
India tries but the Taliban did not accept any India presence in the new structure. And were seen as part of the new peace agreements. Ostensibly guaranteed by the United States , but this guarantee was useless and of no value. For this Taliban, they do no need a guarantor for they stand alone with no such need. They have beaten the best.
India should now worry that their neighbours are not of the Goa staple and have been a trained and honed through the years. The Indians may have to reassess their strengths on a new packing order that has been established. The Hindus intellectuals practiced satyagira successfully by peaceful diplomacy but these are hard times and blood will spill.
Modi based his success on beating minorities. However the numbers have now change and the Hindu is facing a fears and a larger number of opponents with the mighty China as a new ringmaster. The Indian Army has already Mazel its media as all its statements are banned. We wonder when their media starts to sing praises of China and Nepal.
The US is trapped in its Corona Crisis, which has created a paralysis of fear throughout world. The lockdown of entire city buses, airlines gives a ghost town image to regions of Europe, America and the world. This coronavirus has reduced the American strike ability of the once mighty US military.
This has left the Indians without the big brother that they were counting on. They now have to face China and a Pakistan whose muslim population is crying out in support of its muslim brothers in Kashmir.
With the military options being taken off the table, the Indians will have to negotiate a peaceful settlement.
In the 21st Century, a nuclear conflict is out of the question and India will have to fight with regular arms. The numbers described above indicate the sensible resolution that will be brought about. They will be no significant victory for the BJP to celebrate.
The drums of war will be silenced or they will be heard to a Chinese beat. The time has come for India to face reality and go back to their saffron robes depicting peace and love to all.
The land that produced Rama and Buddha should reject war mongering as did the Lord Buddha. Belligerence does not suit the Indian Psyche.
