Day 499

 I was thinking about the Pahalgam attack. Indeed it’s a tragic incidence. But something is bothering me. In my last post, I have stated that this attack wouldn’t have been possible without the local support. In my view, this isn’t any random attack where the terrorists came walking after crossing the border and killed innocent people and went back safely. Those terrorists have full support of the locals where they stayed as long as they wished, did complete recking and then executed their coward plan of innocent murder.

 

I think it’s a pure failure of coordination between intelligence agencies and the armed forces and the state government police. Then how it’s possible that those terrorists can walk in, killed innocent people and vanished in thin air. I wonder why the intelligence agencies were silent in providing the intel at the right time? If this had happened then indeed it’s a clear cut failure of the entire intelligence agencies whether its R&AW, IB. If it’s not the case then what happened to the intel report provided by the intelligence agencies? Why did Indian army or the state police forgot about the security or even doing the patrolling of that area?

Where was the fault? I think it’s time to analyse these points and to take appropriate action. But the problem with Indian public is that we forget everything very easily.

 

Actually, I was doing some analysis. The analysis was difference between India and Israel. Both countries were colonies of British rule. While India got independence in 1947, Israel got independence in 1948. India got Pakistan – east and west – but Israel was surrounded by Muslim countries. But the difference between these two countries is definitely shocking. Since independence India is struggling to cope with the Pakistan on Kashmir issue only but Israel has to deal with the hatred of all the Muslims countries in the world over Israel’s existence. Israel has fought 6 days war with all its neighbouring Muslim countries which wanted to eliminate Israel.

I wonder that Israel is very small in area as compared to India and has very little population as compared to India. But what made Israel so strong that it faces all its enemies with iron fist and never comes under the international pressure. The major things which I observed was that when its comes for the national security, all the political parties in Israel gets united and never questions about the operations taken in national interest. But in India, since the Modi government, the opposition parties have always tried to defame Modi government and had raised questions about the steps taken in national interest. When the surgical strike was done against the terrorists camps in Pakistan, then the opposition parties started demanding proves of the surgical strike.

 

Now take the recent attacks on Pahalgam. I was shocked to hear the statement of the Chief Minister of Karnataka. He said that it’s a lie that the terrorists had killed Hindus only after asking the names. He said that the lady who lost her husband in front of her eyes, is mentally unstable and is lying in front of media. It wasn’t a terrorist attack. Son-in-law of Sonia Gandhi has said that this attack is the result of Modi government’s Hindutva agenda. This shows the mental sickness of those people who can’t see the reality because they are jealous of Modi government.

 

Second difference which I found between India and Israel was from every citizen of Israel. It’s a rule that every Israeli citizen both male and female had to serve in the military. Every male has to serve for three years and females have to serve for two years. It’s a mandatory rule applicable for every Israeli, no matter whether you are a common man or son of the Prime Minister. Service years excludes the training period. But in India, the scene is opposite. Children of politicians comes in politics only. There is no mandatory rule for serving in the military. This rule makes every one patriotic and ready to fight for the country in Israel. But in India, entry in military is for middle class or from lower section of the society. No politician, business men, actors from film industries across India send their sons to the military. According to me, this is the thing which creates intellectuals who always condemns the action taken by the armed forces in India.

 

Third difference is the education. In India, still a large section of society is not having access to the school and colleges. In Israel, every citizen is going to school and colleges. Their research and development department is far ahead than India and Israeli R&D is equivalent to most developed countries like America, Britain, France and others. R&D in India has just moved ahead from initial stage. Well, we need to focus on these areas also in addition to the business, trade, tourism, health sector and other sectors.
