The TROJAN HORSE
In all this hoopla about reservation, I am writing about a topic which is not on the front pages. The topic is SIACHEN sell out which UPA government is planning with Pakistan.
We all know Siachen as a glacier in some remote corner as a border post. It was during Rajiv Gandhi government, that Indian army occupied to foil any Pakistani attempts.
A simple study of Kashmir map will reveal the reason why it’s on the negotiation tables every time. We know that Kashmir is divided in 3 regions PoK, Aksai Chin , J&K. There is some territory which Pakistan has acceded to China. Siachen lies at meeting point of all these 3 power axis.
It acts as a pressure point on Pakis and Chinese and is a useful watchtower to thwart any nefarious designs. This is the very advantage which our dear PM is planning to squander just on the promise from people which have fooled our government for past 50 years. The other point is how much territory are we planning to donate. Our boundaries have been shrinking for past millennium, once we ruled Hindukush now it’s a distant outpost of another country, and on other side we have shrunk from Myanmar and are losing North East as well.
Nixon once said that history is littered with examples of failed states who could not gauge developments around their borders. We are also at the same state ,at the confluence of two whirlwinds ,one is the Islamic terrorism and other is rise of Chinese giant. Both are going to cut us across for their advantage. This is just the 1st step a TROJAN HORSE to enter. The solution is simple to stop any attempts of contraction of our borders.
Pakistan has been rated as one of the top 10 failed states,let us help them to attain numero uno status. Musharraf has foiled many attempts (???) on his life, if he is executed, further turmoil can start, Baluchis are up in arms, MQM & Jiye Sindh are other dicontentders. Also we need to surround China with our friends as they are trying to do. We should slowly start supporting Tibet & Taiwan with giving harbour to democratic movements.
India and China are natural enemies because of our size and global status we are trying to achieve. So along with dreams of ChIndia….let us also be rational……..
