Bharat Rakshak

Anujan ji, I understand what you are saying, As you point out there certainly can be pardoning people and people who can harbour no evil towards others inspite of hardships they face in all religions. But IC814 example to me seems a case of Stockholm syndrome though.

I met some Bangladeshis, one person I talked to, had lost his relatives in 1971 genocide, but he bore no ill will towards his brothers on the other side. May be this is islam the unifying force in action, which can forgive and forget any wound in the name of allah.

Shiv garu, as usual well explained. So Islam is the glue, the unifying factor. and Islam also decrees, "hey aam abdul you are destined to be poor, you are destined to be subjugated and raped by RAPE so deal with it as ordained by allah the merciful" that also means even if the fissures are...

Altair garu, I am skeptical about it, we all had fantasies about it breaking when IEDs were going everywhere in TSP, now these violence reports, all these are fine but I still think the critical mass hasn't reached for the breaking to happen. I somehow think the violence and dissatisfaction among aa...

Thanks Roperia ji for the links.

Rangudu garu, But why now? what is TSPA going to gain from another 26/11? to derail TSP-India trade and MFN status? they know they are under scanner for what ever that entails. TSP/US relationship is all time low, can they afford another 26/11 and be subjected to US wrath? already NATO route is not ...

Bounty on Hafiz certainly isn't to please India. Indian lives and India never mattered to US. Even after Daniel Pearl's killing US didn't touch nor censure LeT so vehemently. Why should it matter to US if LeT and Hafiz goons killed Indians now? this bounty is surely to do a taqiya on TSP. And this w...

Already US talks about regional balance crap. With India instigating Balochi unrest, with Balochis willing to be Indian Union for argument sake or at least willing to be nice to Indian interests, for US, this is not something it can let it go. With India already trading with Iran in spite of US's ob...

Rajesh ji, I have a feeling that getting Balochistan to be our integral part is not going to be that easy. It is true that Balochistan is geographically nearer to us, but then Balochis want to be independent, they would perhaps welcome Indian involvement, but that's it, they may fight any power whic...

Carl ji, that means we need to have the cake and eat it too. This also means as your said, Balochistan needs to be freed not at the cost of Iran, because if your analysis is right, too many pieces have to be moved for us to move in that direction. And more over why should we be even worry about US b...

RajeshA garu, That is a nice idea, Balochistan is also oil rich, not sure about how much oil can be extracted practically there or if it already being extracted. If oil is promised to us from Balochistan, it will be very viable plan for India to sever ties with Iran at least till Balohistan is free,...

Shyamd garu, Is that what you were referring to when you asked for the reasons why the spate of bombings seem to subsided these days? but why Hindus and sikhs? but we didn't hear any news about hindus and sikh 'terrorists' getting killed or apprehended in TSP? isnt it easy to pin the blame on SDREs ...

Question to anyone who knows and can kindly enlighten me: I wanted to ask this question for so long being a lurker, I see that good T'ban playing by the rules and attacking US troops and, the bad T'ban attacking TSP. TSP are the ones who created both, and yet the workings of both the T'ban units are...

Not an expert by any means but just my opinion:
I think that imminent US withdrawal from Afg means that its time taliban act in unison to take over Afg. How can they axe their own chances of ruling Afg by targeting their king makers? This along with many peace deals might have quietened them a bit.

Theo ji,
You misquoted me, that was CRamS ji who said that, I merely quoted him.

"Likewise, through conventional force, US has tried to subjugate Talibunnies in Afghanistan, where once again the nerve center is in Rawilpindi, not Kabul or Kandahar. And this is the parallel with Kashmir, in both cases, the threshold of military pain inflicted on TSPA has not been sufficient...

^^^ TSP repaying to IMF reminds me of an anecdote where a dog asked it's master for some meat, the clever and crafty master cut it's own tail and fed it as meat. Here TSP is the master and IMF the dog, this payment must be from the money it received so long from Khan. IMF begged TSP for it to pay so...

^^^ That is what I think too Carl ji, I even think that TSP already has has taken a leaf out of PRC's social engineering book. Systematic elimination of prominent leaders, silencing the masses under the fear of killings etc and then relocating the Punjabi population into Balochistan to make Baluchis...

Shyamd jI, What I am afraid is, in the past several equally strong protests and rebellions were crushed by TSP, Now with PRC moving into Gwadar and North TSP, PRC can and will teach a thing or two about how to crush such insurgencies, even though TSP has managed well without anyone's help. With soci...

Shyamd Ji, For media coverage, all BLA has to do is blow up a Chini vessel or two or sabotage refineries there than petroleum pipes, they will get media coverage alright. BLA targeting pipelines might indicate their lack of firepower among other things? if I were a BLA chief and want the world to kn...

We (MMS) anyway acknowledged that we are involved in Balochistan, so why go covert, overtly support Balochistan. Along with ANA, train Balochi freedom fighters. Let people like C. Fair make noises about our involvement, we always can give moral support the way TSP does and also now we are relatively...

TSP does what it does because it's actions are not questioned, US gifting arms, doling billions are examples of how US in fact encourages TSP to do exactly that. US threatens sanctions on TSP IFF it doesn't GUBO to US demands. Nothing of this sort is demanded by US from TSP when Indians die. This is...

RajeshA garu, I agree and I see your point. But I don't know if we have such plans if it comes to that. We also have to show the Balochistan freedom fighters why integrating to Indian union is better, else we would have any other insurgency at our hands the way TSP faces now. But I think this is not...

I think Israel is a prime example of cry-baby attention seeker? who would have given them so much attention if only they don't raise the holocaust bogey? I am sorry to sound very callous. But I think crying out loud also has advantages. The loudest baby gets the attention. Because we bear thousand c...

RajeshA garu, If we are desirous of Balochistan to integrate into India, we have to play a very prominent role either covertly or overtly in helping them oppose TSP now. Without that I doubt they would. Right now US is making all the right noises for them. They would be very happy to welcome America...

The baluchis also want territories liberated from Iran too. Their struggle is not just limited to TSP. That makes the whole support to them tricky. You can't just support Baluchis without angering Iranians. Iranians are certain to support TSP in this regard. So liberation of Baluchis is not going to...

One game changer in the immediate future is IF something happens to Iran through US/Israeli action. Too far fetched, but can influence events in Baluchistan. If Iran is in turmoil via US action, who knows Oman can then side India, if we want to support Baluchis? I think I am dreaming too much.

Carl ji, RajeshA ji, I am with Carlji, Iran will side with PRC and TSP, after all they too have Baluch territory they want to protect. I am not sure why Saudi will support Baluchis when they are bum pals of TSP and have vested interests in bank roiling TSP. Baluchis are in iron grip, not much of sup...

RajeshA garu, Have been reading your insights, thank you for enriching me with your gyan. You are right UNSC is too far, and IF PRC's testimonials are squeezed, it too can let go of any plans it has. But who will do the honors of squeezing China where it hurts? I know we can do that, but not sure if...

I don't trust this will go anywhere, for the reason that, first, the bill has to be passed, I am pretty sure TSP has already put it's lobbying machine in motion to curtail the bill. Secondly, US would back down if TSP is ready to GUBO once again and promise to fall in line for the time being. Third,...

Hi Everyone, my first post.Rahul, thanks for activating my account so fast. Been a lurker for almost a decade. Missed discussions on GDF so just for learning and reading that forum had to register as a member, hope I can contribute something as I keep learning from everyone. In particular, learned a...
