Kashmir has taken Punjab’s lead to such a good effect that its freedom from India is today assured. Now it is only a matter of time for things to precipitate in the undoing of the artificial and forced union of India. The enormity of the situation does not seem to have dawned on Delhi. Only those fighting for their aspirations are alive to the reality that freedom is at hand.
While Japan and Germany were picking themselves up from the total ruins of World War Il, India was handed to the Brahmins by the British on a platter. How come India is a beggar in the international community and Japan and Germany are economic superpowers? India’s only claim to fame, rather notoriety is that it grew into a local bully over tiny neighbors.
While the world progressed India was busy pushing its minorities into subjugation and exploitation.
People marvel at the Swiss with their four peoples living in harmony. India is a joke over 20 languages all with their own scripts and over 300 dialects. Every religion of the world is well represented but all are sought to be dominated by the Hindu majority. But in 1947 India set out with grandiose secular promises which were not only blatant lies but part of a sinister plot. This plot did not work, it boomeranged.
What the Brahmin-Bania coterie did not contend with were the Sikhs who were a minuscule two percent of the population. But a proud martial race with an unparalleled history of valor and sacrifice. The entire 500 year history of the Sikhs has been a war against tyranny and oppression. In this war the Sikhs have morally brought Delhi to its knees several times.
Delhi will pay dearly for its miscalculations. The Sikhs are at war for over a decade and the cry in Kashmir is “the hurricane of Islam will blow through this land.”
The writ of the militants is law in Punjab and Kashmir. The bhog ceremony of Bhai Jugraj Singh should have served as an eye opener for India. Over half a million Sikhs came to pay homage to this noble youth who laid down his life for his faith but was called a “terrorist” by the Indian government. Curfews and hartals called by the militants are better obeyed than those called by the police.
The time has come for the Brahmin-Banias to take stock. The Sikhs and the Muslims are gone. What they need to see and emulate is the model Europe provides. A Christian Europe has less ethnic and cultural diversity than India. And the European nations are closer to each other than the Indian states can ever hope to be “united” or independent. The artificial union of Russia and India are and a chronisms time has caught up with.
Delhi’s game of wearing down the Kashmir youth shows its utter desperation because that is what it has been doing and failing in Punjab since 1982. Why does India balk at a war with Pakistan who it accuses every day of helping the secessionists? It knows the outcome that’s why!
