The truth is out. Nearly two years ago, on February 14, India announced that tragedy had struck. More than 40 of its soldiers had lost their lives to a suicide attack in Pulwama. India blamed Pakistan. Our conscience was clean and suspicions high. There was debate within Pakistan about this being a false-flag operation. Those that disagreed called it the result of the indigenous Kashmiri struggle to gain independence from a terrorist state in India. Turns out that the first assertion was true. One of India’s own rabid hawks has exposed how it was the Delhi government that engineered this plot—a devious scheme to kill its own soldiers—to pin the blame on Pakistan and attempt a “return strike”.
What does this really say about the “world’s largest democracy”? That it is nothing more than a rogue state, a failed state; one where the government will kill its own people and members of the armed forces in order to let the common citizenry feed on the flawed narrative of a greater India. The eastern neighbour’s partition hangover and obsession with Pakistan remains as potent as ever, and it will do nothing in the bid to try and use our existence to sell a hateful narrative. First it was the Kashmiris that were not safe in India. With Modi’s rise to power, Muslims all over the country joined that list. In recent decades, in Mumbai, Uri and Pulwama, India has proven that even its own innocent citizens and the armed forces; everything is collateral as long as Pakistan is the target. No wonder this state has no qualms in consistently targeting civilians along the Line of Control, even when it loses so many of its soldiers in return fire. All lives are expendable.
In the aftermath was the momentous “strike”, the attack on Balakot, which did nothing but affect a few trees, and the Indian government and media looked to envelop the general population in a countrywide delusion. Even now, Indian media is busy peddling its lies and is spinning the story into one where a journalist had access to top-secret government information. The real story here is that the Indian government has been left red-faced and embarrassed. Modi and his bloodthirsty government killed its own soldiers first and then attempted to strike Pakistan, all to win big in the upcoming electoral contests.
This is criminal. Those in India that still have a conscience—of which there are many—must rise up and overthrow this corrupt and fascist government. The Modi government is committed to war and conflict, and it will do anything to manipulate the minds of its population and create an apartheid state, one that has Hindu supremacy is its mantra.
Now that the facts have surfaced, the world must see the threat for what it truly is. India is a menace on a global scale. The third Reich did not stop after conflict with one state, and slowly but surely, the Modi government has picked fights with all of its neighbours as well.
The only problem here is that India, Pakistan and China are all nuclear powers. Beijing and Islamabad are also perfectly capable of defending themselves. Balakot’s aftermath saw India lose its aircraft and pilot at the hands of our gallant air force. China literally beat India’s offensive back with sticks and batons on the Line of Actual Control (LAC). But it is clear that India is not looking to cease fighting. And in a nuclear capable region, this is a recipe for disaster. Delhi can no longer be trusted with such dangerous armaments.
This is where the international community must step in. This loaded gun could go off at any moment. As China and Pakistan draw closer, India must see its opportunities to attack thin down, which is why it may even look to go all out—defending ourselves will be no problem, but the lives lost as a result is something that must be considered. Iran was sanctioned badly because of Israel’s close relationship with the US. North Korea is similarly treated. And here we have an unstable nation that might go off at any time and nothing is done. Sanction India till it backs down from its war-driven path, this hateful Prime Minister must step down and shut down the clandestine operations against Pakistan, both in India and on our western front; this is the only way to bring lasting peace in the region.
