All these attacks were done with impunity. The first step thereafter is to soften the outrage (in wake of Pulwama, it was the fake narrative of how Kashmiris across the country are fleeing!!!). Lutyens Media are the first movers which stick to Mahatma Gandhi and his "an-eye-for-an-eye-would-leave-the-world-blind" morality. Its Indian readers are told that an escalating war between two nuclear-armed nations would cause mayhem; newspapers are splashed with stories of state brutality in Kashmir Valley; the famous "never-say-die spirit" of Mumbai is evoked; "Aman ki Asha" is propped up in narrative; Bollywood starts singing "terrorism-has-no-religion" etc all are aimed to assuage the anger. So that the next round of violence could begin. (See the above list of terror attacks: no less than 4 major ones took place in 2008 and what did UPA-1 do: Nothing).
This orchestrated narrative couldn't have happened without a nexus between political class and media/academia. One could assume that newspaper barons don't have the sanctity of news as their uppermost goal. Tangible and intangible benefits could be a priority. Why bite the hands which feed? But what about political powers. Why did they sing in harmony to Pakistan's tune?
Dr Subramaniam Swamy is on record that Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) blackmails Indian ministers and their cohorts about their black money in foreign banks. "All the black money is routed through Dubai hawala groups. Since no such transaction happens without the knowledge of ISI or Dawood Ibrahim, that's why no action is taken against Pakistan," Dr Swamy said in 2013.
Viewed from this prism, the pattern becomes clear. This "Deep State" in India echoes Pakistan. It doesn't matter if India goes to pieces. Its' brave soldiers lose live by thousands. Innocent citizens go up in smoke. Widows and orphaned children bewail. The country is scarred and brought to its knees. These are the forces which manufactures scare about Hindu extremism (imagine, even 26/11 was nearly plastered on this narrative!!!).
The last two weeks have been truly amazing. Balakot has meant that India could strike deep within Pakistan; that nobody in the international forumnot even Chinacomes out in their support; that Pakistan won't play the nuclear-bomb card; even the Islamic identity has not helped as recent OIC has shown which Pakistan boycotted because the invitation to India wasn't withdrawn. The paradigm has shifted. "Aman ki Aasha" narrative is flushed down the drain forever.
You and I are happy by turn of events of last two weeks. There is a general, all-around respect for PM Narendra Modi. But did you ever hear this gang say so? Why are they unhappy when the nation is? In India's moment of triumph, they have a sense of despair. Let us hang them out to dry. No point in naming these politicians and journos/academicians. But we all know them. Never forget or forgive. If they thrive, the terrorism would too.(Note: You can view every article as one long page if you sign up as an Advocate Member, or higher).
