Kashmir : Counter Terror Operation Updates and Discussions

Totally agree with this. This has been one of the biggest positive from the Indo-Pak stand off
PKS has been remarkably prescient when he's declared time and again that the Kashmiris tend to be subdued every time there's a major conflagration between India & Pakistan. I think apart from not understanding the psyche of the Khwarij Pakistani, we've not understood the psyche of the average Kashmiri too. Their bark is worse than their bite. Which is why everyone from Mehbooba to Omar to Mirwaiz and dead man walking Yasin Malik keep threatening the GoI against rescinding Article 35 A, Article 370, resettlement of KP, regularising the citizenship of migrants in Jammu fleeing partition riots in 1947 , etc Knowing we won't move ahead.

OTOH, Rohingyas in their thousands are settled near the IB in Jammu with the full knowledge and connivance of the GoJ&K, but for all their tall talk this govt has yet to do anything on it.

To think, it's taken us 30 years and countless lives to undertake basic CI measures speaks volumes of our understanding of CI operations in spite of combatting it since independence.

I used to think we are incompetent and effete. It's much much worse than I thought.

What's a majority or a minority government got to do with combatting terrorism? I thought it owes more to a nuanced understanding of the malaise and taking corrective measures. Unless band aid is now the synonym for corrective measures coupled with appearances to be maintained.

We are bearing fruits??? You're right there. After having been screwed for so long it's high time we bear "fruits."After all how long could we continue to be pregnant without bearing fruits.

When the enemy (ISI) has knowledge and proof of the scandals and corruption money of the ruling politicians (Congress - from Nehru to Antonia Maino), these politicians will always maintain a low intensity threat in cahoot with the enemy as it benefits the ruling elites on both sides of the border through deals with the MNC MIC (Agusta, Bofors, ...) and anarchy within to allow loot and siphoning by their gang members (congress party members) of the public money meant for the poor and development of the country.

What difference do you see between the PA+ISI on the other side of the border and the Con-gress on this side. Both have one single agenda, appropriate and steal that belong to the nation.

some interesting thoughts ....

It’s not so much that power corrupts as that the corrupt seek power

We aspire to corrupt in order to govern - Giuseppe Mazzini, 1805-1872

"The youth of today will need to recognise that they shoulder a great responsibility. They will need to fight for rooting out corruption, for ensuring that no one is above the law, and uniting the citizens of India as 'Indians first' instead of communal or geographic factions" - Ratan Tata

Definition for Congress party of India = Kleptocracy, alternatively cleptocracy or kleptarchy, from the Ancient Greek for "thief" and "rule," is a term applied to a government subject to control fraud that takes advantage of governmental corruption to extend the personal wealth and political power of government officials and the ruling class (collectively, kleptocrats), via the embezzlement of state funds at the expense of the wider population, sometimes without even the pretense of honest service. The term means "rule by thieves"
