Indian hyper nationalism on Kashmir
The ISPR said the Pakistani commander also expressed the hope that prudence would be exercised across the divide and ** steps would be taken that may affect peace along the LoC and lead to a worsening of the environment. Why would Pakistan raise the tension and stakes on the Line of Control? A logical question indeed. Yet the Indian media showed ** sign of questioning their official stance. One Indian columnist basking in misplaced patriotism wrote: “We should aim **t just at defeating Pakistan’s designs, causing material and eco**mic damage to them, but also overcoming the insurgency winning the estranged Kashmiris over. Maintenance of the aim involves putting everything into the war effort. Taking the fight to the enemy, raising his costs and causing attrition, both in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and the Pakistani mainland must take precedence over everything else. **body ever won a war with a purely defensive strategy. Lastly, once having entered into war with fortitude, we must resolve to win at all costs.” The overexcited writer added: “In the wake of the barbarous mutilation of the bodies of two Indian soldiers, some commentators have asked whether it’s time for surgical strike 2.0? In the context of the civilised struggle we’re engaged in, I’d say we need to carry out surgical strike 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 too and keep striking the enemy till he relents.” Never mind, there was ** Surgical Strike One, so what to talk about number 2, 3, 4 or five. According to a**ther Indian columnist: “A soon-to-be-launched news channel has declared public enemy #1. **t poverty, disease or illiteracy, it’s Pakistan. The channel isn’t on air, but if you watched the news on other channels this past week, you’d imagine that war had been declared as retribution for Pakistan killing and decapitating two of our soldiers – **t for the first time. News channels went into overdrive, and a senior ******r had to clarify. **, he told Hindustan Times, India had **t destroyed Pakistani bunkers and killed several soldiers. ‘They [TV channels] go ballistic without asking us anything,’ said the unnamed ******r.” The erstwhile writer added: “This **isy media-public-politician caucus is placing our army at the edge of dangerous hyper-nationalism. Even otherwise restrained anchors swore **t to invite Pakistani enemies on their shows, because, after all, who wants to be seen as anti-national? Never mind that journalism means listening to all sides. Military action can**t be based on populist sentiment; wars are **t fought and won in TV studios. A solution, when found, will **t happen by placing hot emotion over cool strategy.” While there was ** such incident involving mutilation on the LoC, the Indian media is still having a field day, hyper patriotism having taken over common sense. The architects of stage managed incidents in New Delhi are gloating over super (misplaced) nationalism shown by the Indians. In the background, however, the Valley continues to burn and witness more bloodshed. There are ** just and practical solutions for the people of the Valley but for the Indian media and public, the attraction lies in highlighting half truths and make-believe events on the LoC. أكثر...
