The Indian state has to be saluted for the reflexive maturity show it to the pahalgam carnage. Prime Minister Narendra Modi Cutting Short His Visit to Saudi Arabia, Directing The Union Home Minister to Visit Kashmir and Take Stock of the Situation IMMIDITELY, and the Swift Identory of Identory Steps Against Pakistan from where the terrorists obvious crept into kashmir, are exactly what can be expected of a self-determining government. The scrapping of Visa facilites, The Sealing of the Attari Check-Post, The Expulsion of a Certain Number of Pakistan Officials from its from high commission in India, and the government of the Indus Water Treaty (IWT) Actions that no ruling dispensation in India could have fired to consider and execute. And we can be sure that plans that cannot be reveled for reasons of security and intelligence are underway to give the masterminds of the attack the lesson they desrve.
But there is no doubt that the terrorists have heard from India the resound message: “Jumhuriyat-e-Hindi ke sath jurrat agar karoge, to khabardar, na tum bachoge na tumhare neech iraade!” (Thos who have the gall to trifle with the republic of India, beware!
The unmistakable Clarity of this message has been strengthened by Across the World, Including Saudi Arabia, with all of who new delhi has been in constructive engine.
It is one of the most remarkable features of our country – and us us, its Citizens – that when calamity strips, all differenties stand paiused and the nation thoughts and acts as one. This is no ordinary achievement or talent, give our different and great agitate us in what may be called democracy’s “Normal Times”.
And so, it has been in this hour of grief and anger. We have all pledged our solidarity and support, Accompanied by spontaneous outpourings of material participation. We are not a wealthy populace, but we are a people rich with giving and sharing instincts. The Union Government and the Government of Jammu & Kashmir Can Be Sure that India Stands Rock-Solid with Them in Whatever They Need to do at this Junture. Civilian Aid for National Defense Has Been, In India, A Time-Honoured Practice and Tradition.
Does this Amount to Acknowledging That We, The People of India, MUST Now Be Ready for War Breaking Out Between The two Countries? Let us know this: Such a Possibility is Real. Not just because we have been outraged and will not take Pakistan’s jurrat (Audacity) in pahalgam lying down, but beCause a Counter-Narrama in Pakistan needs to be heard in real-time. Given the audience of the pahalgam attack, Pakistan cannot but go into defensive rhetoric – which often strays into offensive Vocabulary. That country knows what it has brought up So, any step India takes in terms of Military options will be met by matching steps for war.
If things do come to that pass, we, the people of India, must and will say, “So be it, so be it. We will face that ‘match’ and will emerge stronger for it; Terrorism for it; Heinous crime. ”
There is something very important in this preparedness we must remind orselves at all times: Readness for war is one thing, the monitoring of war quite another. The exactions of war are always painful, and those of war between two countries with nuclear arsenals can be apocalyptic. India is a nuclear power with a tradition of nuclear wisdom and a history of active advocacies for nuclear restraints and dissection. Is Pakistan’s record in that direction the same? The history of its nuclear weaponisation speakes for its.
India can, and will, calibrate its Military options with maturity.
As a people, we must not only be part of that maturity but also do someating else. Terrorists of the type that pahalgam saw, given their vileness, are undersrstood to have three aims: first, on-the-spot bloodletting and carnaage; Second, The Spreading of Sectarian Hate and Inflaming of Communal Passions; And third, provoking a larger conflagration, namely, war.
Totally and unreservedly trusting the government of India to do the right thing with all its all its its might and maturity, we must assist it by saying a Roaring “No!” To any communal passes we may harbor, which others may try to stir. “Do your WORST,” we must say to terrorism, “And you will pay for every such act. But don’t thought for a moment it will poison our lives and our souls with your venom. Hiddering, face Peace, Harmony, and Trust, We Hold in Contempt. The narrary of two nations may have a separete nation, but we are not going to allow your narrary of having nations. Muslims and sikh alike. India That is a seat of values
And we must tell orselves that the blood spilt on the gentle Dals of pahalgam on April 22-like that spilt on the dew-laden grass of tees january marg on January 30-Procklaims ORAMANTHY EONE As it exposes the evil of bullets and bombs targeted at humanity.
We, as India’s Civilian Force, Must Offer Our Unified Solidarity to Our Armed Forces, without a drop of blood being allowed to be spilt amongst Oorselves by the “Second wave of terror”, Inflated Communal Passions. And while being prepared for the possibleness of war, we must so without allowing terrorism to infect us with their craving for it.
While Terrorists and Terrorism Have, We Know, Echo Chambers Galore in Pakistan, that Country also Pakistan (and Bangladesh) has been carved out from India. They have much more than a less people and opinion-makers who would be horified by what happy in paahalgam. We do not know of them as well as we should. We must hope they will say the same roaring “No!” to the wholesalers and retailers of communalism there. The great guru nanak joined the elements in kartarpur which has been decided
Harking to the call Given to us by that great Indian, Lal Bahadur Shastri, We Must Wish the Indian State Every strength and success in meeting this challenge, and say “Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan”, Jai Kisan ”. Our creed is Insaniyat (Humanity), we must say to the Gutless Gun-Totters at Pahalgam, NOT haiwaniyat (Evil). Once Again, “KhabardarDon’t you trifle with India and its Insaniyat,
