The Pathankot tragedy seems to be quite significant.
Pakistani terrorists have started attacking our defense forces. How do they
have such an insight into where our defenses are located? Okay fine. Google maps.
Common knowledge. Fine. All that is good general knowledge on their behalf. But
how come our folks were caught so unaware?
Such laxity on part of the ever vigilant brave Army folks is
a little scary to say the least. Especially when these things are about
national defense and warfare.
Why are Pakistani folks so intent on travelling to India with such destructive intents? Why
such stealth? Why such evil intentions toward their once joined by the hip
twin? Is it an inferiority complex? Is it an attempt to deny common history and
remove India from the map?
Whatever the reason is, their attempts are hurtful. Their attempts
speak of a nation that is so poor that its youth are forced to kill themselves
over a couple of lakhs of money for their family. Going to India, destroying
some part of the country is like earning the ultimate bonus. Plus you are told
you will attain heaven if you become ‘shaheed’ for the cause of your nation and
Islamic brothers. If not, you can serve your community in other ways. All of them,
definitely, more violent, more destructive.
Such impressionable youth – their lives wasted away in
hatred and death. Is a life of peace in our neighbouring country such a rarity? Is it such a foreign concept
that parents don’t mind if one son’s life is sacrificed like this? A couple of
lakhs at least will come their way and they can sustain the others in the
family for a while longer. Is that attitude of the families?
Instead of letting terrorism flourish, why can’t our dear neighbours’ increase economic growth and activities around
that region? I am sure more intelligent people than me must have thought about
such things. I wonder what is stopping them from taking such steps. Okay, maybe
because that means women also must be educated so that would not be palatable
for such a male dominated country. But if that is the case, then the men would
be more interested in getting educated and earning money through more peaceable
ways. Even their parents would encourage such things. They would have money
plus their children.
Or is war and infighting in this region more profitable to
the powers that be?
People die in the process. So what? Its one of the most
populous regions in the world. A couple of poor people die, So what?
Are we so callous in our outlook?
Why is peace and economic growth of places in the LOC region taking a back
seat? Always war. Always fighting. Don’t they really get
bored of that? Can no one ever think that enough of all this fighting. Lets try
and improve the place where we live. Lets love the place we are born in and
improve it for the sake of our children? Doesn’t such positive thoughts not
take shape in such regions? Or are they truly god forsaken?
Our dear Prime Minister Modi even gave a surprise visit to
his counterpart in Pakistan to ensure peace. This incident is like a mockery
to that polite act. Is Nawaz Shariff truly in control of the nation or are the
terrorists and ISI and Military of Pakistan running a regime of hate that is
stronger and has deeper roots which will always hold sway in that nation’s
governance and relationship with India?
I wonder if Pakistan’s people realize how self-destructive
this method of governance is. They are being held hostage by violence,
terrorists and extremists in their own country. Quite a sad fact to live with
about your own country.
