From INDIAN OCCUPIED KASHMIR
Pakistanophobia is a habit (or I must say a disease) which is taking a
heavy toll on the Indian mindset. Everyday there are countless
discussions on Indian TV channels and lenghty articles written by
Indian "intellectuals" about Pakistan. This everyday dose of anti
Pakistan vitriol on national media has hypnotised Indian minds.
Intellectuals like Parthasarthy, GC Singh and Swappan Dasgupta are
always seen repeating their gospels of Pakistan bashing on live Indian
television shows. This everyday "Pakistan is evil" brainwashing in
Indian media has made the common Indian so arrogant that they're not
ready to listen to any other argument other than the one which has
been implanted into their brains.
Things like a lone Indian hero beating and killing thousands of
Pakistani villains bare single-handedly in a bollywood film make the
ordinary Indian viewer feel kicked up and high with the narcotic
injection of imaginary patriotism. A solitary Indian soldier with a
single stun Gun in his hands is often seen killing battalions after
battalions of Pakistani soldiers in viewer cheering scenes. This has
resulted in the loss of logic and reasoning among the Indian people.
Most of them think Pakistan is a country made up of wax. They often
dream about an Indian war against Pakistan and want to see that wax
melting with their own eyes. They think that the wax melting dream is
not coming true because the Indian nation is so high in morality that
it would never attack Pakistan unilaterally. They're even made to
believe in this high morality and are made to feel proud about this at
the same time. Hypnotised minds do not accept the reality and accept
everything which is thrown at them by Indian masala media and its paid
political analysts.
Even visits by foreign diplomats are judged by their anti Pakistan
rants. Barack Obama's recent visit to India was considered as a "big
failure" because he did not condemn or criticise Pakistan in any of
his speeches in India whil Nicholas Sarkozy's visit was considered a
"big success" by Indian media because he condemned Pakistan during his
press conference. Words of Pakistan bashing are perhaps sweet music to
Indian ears.
Often this "Pakistan is evil" deliberations are heard even in non
political gatherings. I recently happened to be in one such gathering
where white collared anti Pakistani guests were in majority and were
ruling the roost without any disturbance. I am not using the word
Indian patriots here, instead I am emphasizing on the word
"anti-Pakistan Indians" as I believe that a true Indian patriot can
never be an anti Pakistani. Anti Pakistan Indians have always been on
there toes and shall remain on there toes, always preparing for a war.
They will not allow both of these neighbours to breathe freely without
any fear of each other. This is altogether a different subject, so I
am coming back to the main topic.
They were talking to each other and helping each other to hate
Pakistan more and more. As I was stuck in that rare and unpleasant
company of indoctrinated white collared zombies, I had to behave a bit
subdued in the gang as I was an unwelcome minority in the gathering of
clowns who were suffering from a rarest forms of delusion of grandeur.
Their focus was on Pakistan and that too the "evil part" of Pakistan.
I however could not escape the clutches of the argument.
One of my old acquaintances whom I unfortunately met there
incidentally after a gap of 15 years initiated the discourse along
with his other friends. Considering me as the one among the persons of
his like, he started with this: " Pakistan is in mess". I replied,
"Yea, of course". He then added, "I pity the people of that country.
There is so much of violence, corruption, inflation and mismanagement
in that land. Their President is called Mr. 10% and he takes
commission on everything. Their army is corrupt, their bureaucrats,
their sportsmen everyone is corrupt. Their country is falling apart
because of this." After he lowered his pitch of voice, I got a chance
to reply. I said, "Yes, but what about India? Is not corruption more
rampant in India than in Pakistan? Thousands of billions of Indian
Rupees are being siphoned off every now and then by India's top most
elite. Kalmadi Commonwealth, Raja 2G, Chavan Adarsh, Modi IPL and
Kargil coffins are most talked about scams everyday one after another
in a single news bulletin". He seemed to be a bit annoyed by my reply.
He started to raise his pitch of voice again and said, " Oh Ho! Who
says there is no corruption in India. But India is such a big economy
that this corruption is hardly making any impact on us but corruption
in Pakistan is eating up that country." I had to keep his delusional
point of view intact and not to hurt his fake sensibilities and
replied, "OK, I understood" though I replied back to him
sarcastically. I think he was drunk with the hatred of Pakistan to
such a level that he did not understand my sarcasm. He continued
further. "And see the inflation there. Everything is so expensive
there. Food stuff, medicines, petrol, gas, electricity and everything
which matters is expensive. Common people there are finding it too
difficult to make their two ends meet." I had just earlier in the day
read about the onions of India and suicides by farmers due to poverty
in one of their poorest states. This time I preferred to keep quite as
I knew that the man I am talking to is filthy rich and how come he
experience the inflation in his pocket as everything which he buys
seems so extremely cheap to him in comparison to his fat income. He
was talking about the inflation in Pakistan because of his
predominantly programmed mind, otherwise things like inflation and
poverty would hardly find a place in his brain box.
Then he went further ahead, " Pakistan is home to extremism. Jamait e
Islami, Jamaat u Dawaa, LeT, Taliban and Al Qaida are controlling that
country. Suicide bombings, target killings and gun running is order of
the day in that country". I could not stay quiet this time. So I
replied, "What about RSS, Shiv Sena, Bajrang Dal and VHP are they not
terrorising people? What about Babri Masjid demolition, Gujrat pogrom,
Malegoan blasts and the Mumbai riots? What about Raj Thakerey and his
bunch of thugs? What about injustices against minorities and Dalits?
What about burning alive of Christian missionaries and raping of
Christian nuns by Hindu zealots? What about Maoism, Naxalism and
North-Eastern insurgencies? Don't you think that India is bound
together only because of a huge army and ruthless as well as faceless
paramilitary and above all abject poverty of common masses? Minus army
and paramilitary, India will not sustain for a day."
This outburst of mine triggered an hysterical reaction from them. They
said, " You are brainwashed anti-Indian bigot. You cannot digest
Indian greatness". I said, " Did I say something wrong or is it that I
did not utter anything against Pakistan which made you to feel that I
am an anti-Indian? Your parameter of patriotism is inversely
proportional to the hate against Pakistan. Let me tell you <span>I am
not an Indian</span> but a Kashmiri and let me add more, I do not care
whether India is great or not. To me India is an occupier of my nation
and that is it." He in his hysteria cried at me and subsequently was
supported by others in the group all in a one go, "Pakistan is Khatam"
(Pakistan has come to an end)! It is in tatters and you are still
banking upon that failed nation, come out of this illusion. Pakistan
is Khattam accept this".
I replied, "Pakistan is Khattam", OK I accept it for your sake. But me
accepting this will not make that country vanish. It's your wishful
thinking. I first heard this sentence "Pakistan is Khattam'" in 1978
when Bhutto was hanged, and then in 1988 when Gen. Zia died and since
then I've been hearing this every now and then. But to my surprise and
to your dismay, Pakistan is still there. It has become a nuclear power
instead of vanishing into the wilderness. It has become an
indispensable power for the stability of South Asia. How can you say
it is at the verge of vanishing? Is it some ship which will drown into
the ocean? It is a country with more than 170 million people living in
it. It cannot just dissolve into thin air." One of them said, "It will
not drown in the ocean but will disintegrate into smaller countries.
This will be the End of Pakistan".
I replied, "By the way, my father too had heard this sentence that
"Pakistan is finished" in 1971 at the time of creation of Bangladesh,
but now I can see two Pakistan's neighbouring you. One in the East and
other in the West. Your wishful thinking cannot give you tangible
happiness. This state of mind is going to shatter your mental balance.
Better wake up! The sooner the better!" Since things were heating up
there and I did not want to invite the blind wrath of others in that
get together, I simply asked my acquaintance to reply to some of my
arguments through an email. I promised him that if he gives a
convincing reply to my arguments, I will also join his "Hate Pakistan
Campaign".
So I sent him the following mail. I wrote:
Dear Friend,
Please read this:
TYPICAL INDIAN SELF-ADULATION AND 'WE ARE GREAT' ARGUMENT:
Did we just see Portuguese from Europe occupy our land when there was
a clear cut case that they do not belong to the subcontinent. Did we
not support the Mukti Bahini when Millions of Bengalis were being
slaughtered by Pak army. Did we not liberate Hyderabad when the
Razakars of the Nawab were slaughtering the Hindus and trying to
declare an Islamic state out of a Hindu Majority kingdom?
TRUE INDIAN REALITY:
(1) Supporting and arming a militant group BEFORE the East Pakistan
conflict that had become violent is acceptable to Indians BUT
Pakistan's support of internationally disputed Kashmir even AFTER
Indian army's countless atrocities on Kashmiris, is an unforgivable
sin?
(2) The Muslim Nizam's declaration of an Islamic state over its
majority Hindu subjects was so abhorrent that Hyderabad was invaded by
India. So why were these heroics not extended to the majority Muslim
Kashmiris and their movement for self-determination?
(3) Instead, the Hindu Mahraja's wishes were implemented irrespective
of the rebellious majority. A series of legalities were produced that
were ultimately denied in all international forums. As a result,
Kashmir is still disputed territory according to 150+ countries.
(4) On the other hand, where were the violent Portuguese Razakars? No
legal documentation required? No conditional composite dialogues
dragging for 60 years? Are the army men from South India not as alien
to Kashmir as 5th generation Portuguese are to Goans? What happened to
India's litigious stand and noble preference for diplomacy?
(7) Finally, Where were the Razakars in Junagadh? Why was the Nawab's
accession to Pakistan not honored? What happened to India's
self-declared supreme morality and even-handedness? Who made India
(itself an amalgamation of nations consolidated by the British and
conquered by the Muslims) the arbitrator of South Asia's destiny? Of
course it is us biased, madrassah-educated Muslims that are the
aggressors.
And all the morality in the world is India's monopoly. This is your morality:
* India swallowed Junagarh on the basis of Hindu majority against the
wishes of the Nawab
* India swallowed Hyderabad on the basis of Hindu majority against the
wishes of the Nizam
* India conveniently swallowed Kashmir on the basis of the Hindu
Maharaja ‘wishes’ irrespective of the Muslim majority’s wishes
* India swallowed the princely state of Bantva-Manavadar and it 26
Muslim villages.
* India overran Goan 4,000 Portugese outpost with 30,000 soldiers
* India annexed Sikkim
* India rampaged through the sacred Sikh Golden temple and Harminder
Sahib of Amritsar with Russian made tanks, murdered Sikh minorty and
humiliated its followers
* India's 'secular' government watched while Hindu terrorists
desecrated and destroyed Babri Mosque
* India committed a state-sponsored pogrom in Gujrat murdering 3000+
Muslims including Ehsan Jafri (a Muslim ex-Member of Indian
Parliament) - arms chopped off and then lit on fire. Hindu mobs cut
opened the wombs of pregnant Muslim women, took out the fetuses and
hoisted them on Hindu trishuls.
* India sent her military to Sri Lanka and massacred both the
Sinhalese and the Tamils in Velvettiturai and Trincomalee and named
its contingent as IPKF (Indian Peace Keeping Force)
* India armed and supported Mukhti Bahini in East Pakistan.
* India has always supported “Baluchistan Liberation Army” and
related terror outfits to destablise Pakistan.
* India invaded peaceful Siachen Glacier
* India started the South Asian nuclear arms race
* India swallowed Minicoy Islands
* India current concerns for Afghanistan are so genuine that it
supported the illegal, immoral and brutal Soviet invasion. The entire
free world protested while the India 'non-aligned' 'democracy'
supported the wholesale murder of 2 million Afghans.
* India supported the Northern Alliance against the Pashtuns majority
but condemns Pakistan for interference
* India started the nuclear provocation by testing nuclear weapons on
Pakistan’s border
* India has slaughtered 130,000 innocent civilians in Kashmir
* India financed anti-Pakistan Northern Alliance
* India continues to stall resolutions with Bangladesh over river
boundaries, hundreds of enclaves.
* India border forces have killed hundreds of Bangladeshi border guards.
* India continues to fence the disputed borders with Bangladesh
regardless of the Bangladeshi protests.
* India maintains contested boundary sections with Nepal including 400
sq. km over the Kalapani River.
* India continues to stall negotiations on disputed territory in Sir
Creek with Pakistan
* India continues to support the Dalai Lama to instigate the Chinese
* India has had a war with China and make bellicose statements about
“cold start” wars with both China and Pakistan
* India respected the McMahon line with China but disagreed with the
Durand Line with Pakistan
* India maintains an army 0f 700,000 soldiers 5 for each civilian in
the Kashmiri valley
* India arrested the PRIME MINISTER of Kashmir in 1953
* India abolished Kashmir’s 'Sadre-Riyasat'.
* India rejected UN proposals to keep 16000 troops until plebiscite is held.
* Indian forces have raped 9900 women in Kashmir
* India imposed an economic blockade on land-locked Nepal in 1989
* India has encroached on Nepali land on multiple occassions
* India overtly and covertly supported the insurgency against the
state by LTTE, a nationalist Tamil group in the northern Jaffna region
of this small island country of Sri Lanka, which kept it politically
and economically destabilized for decades
* India interferes in Nepal's internal affairs much to the latter’s discontent
* India murders millions of innocent, helpless female infants
* India suppresses a 150 million of its OWN citizens with the world
most vicious form of discrimination: CASTE SYSTEM
