‘Howdy, Modi!’ in Houston - Rustam Shah Mohmand

In an unprecedented move, the US President joined the Prime Minister of India in a stadium in Houston, Texas, and addressed more than 50,000 Indian-Americans. The event underscores the deep cultural, political, economic and military ties between the two large democracies and their enduring partnership in a troubled region.

The event is also a significant triumph for Indian diplomacy that has been able to create an appropriate environment for an American president to participate in a rally in the US that was organised by a foreign diaspora to welcome their leader. Undoubtedly, President Trump has taken into consideration the presence of tens of thousands of US citizens of Indian origin who are going to vote in the US election next year. Houston alone hosts 130,000 citizens of Indian origin.

The event which took weeks in planning is the outcome of hard work and skilful diplomacy. It also shows that rhetoric and symbolism can only play a very limited role in building a strong and robust relationship. Beyond that, it has to be based on an assessment of the objective realities and recognition of the mutual benefits that such a relationship would deliver in the short and long term.

The event almost overshadowed the visit of Prime Minister Imran Khan, who is also in New York and will deliver a speech at the General Assembly session mainly devoted to exposing India’s policy of apartheid in the disputed state of Kashmir.

The “Howdy, Modi!” event is a milestone in relations between the US and India. In recent years, the ties gained strength on the back of a US-China struggle for hegemony and control in the region of the South China Sea. The strategic partnership agreement between the US and India provides the basis for a mutually productive and robust partnership between the two countries in sectors like defence, communication, trade, investment, weapons purchase and an ever stronger political engagement.

In contrast, Pakistan has been long on symbolism and short on substance when it comes to conveying a consistent and unambiguous stance on key foreign policy issues, including Kashmir. The presence of a large number of militant outfits in Pakistan raises concerns and suspicions about Islamabad’s claims of not allowing its territory to be used against any other country. A time has come for Pakistan to dispassionately evaluate the pros and cons of having allowed such militant groups to roam about freely in the country. Islamabad has finally woken up to the reality that these groups have only harmed the country’s credibility. Some action has been taken but doubts persist whether it was for the world to see or whether there is a genuine re-appraisal of policy. If history is any guide, such non-state actors have always caused more harm and have damaged the institutional framework of the countries they operated in.

Pakistan would emerge stronger — and in the eyes of the world — become a more reliable partner in the pursuit of goals like poverty alleviation and socio-economic emancipation of its large population if it succeeds in convincing the world that it will follow a policy of zero tolerance for any militant group of whatever complexion or ideology to exist in its territory. It appears, after a cool analysis, that the rulers have realised the huge negative fallout of militant groups operating in Pakistan, and have disbanded some of these.

The “Howdy, Modi!” event should be an opportunity for Pakistan to take a critical look at some of its policies, both in the domestic arena and in the realm of external relations. Pakistan must continue to extend political and diplomatic support to the Kashmiris in their struggle to reverse the action India took in dismantling the special status of IOK. But at the same time, it must recognise that the decision of August 5 would be difficult to reverse for a government that was publicly committed to scrapping the special autonomy provisions for IOK. Pakistan must also realise that no regional country other than China will be willing to support its stance in the UN. Nor will the Islamic countries or the big powers. Islamabad must come to grips with the reality of India being a hegemonic power and powerful economy that few countries would risk damaging their relations with.

The fact that Modi’s action has won widespread support internally within India must not be ignored either. The backing of the masses, for ending the special status of IOK, has given the Modi government a tremendous boost, even though it has to be seen whether, in the long run, the policy was in India’s supreme national interests. Islamabad will have to incorporate these realities into its policy calculations. The real opposition to the move will have to come from the people of Kashmir.

If the iconic spectacle i.e. “Howdy, Modi!” is any guide, Islamabad has to reconcile with the fact that on issues such as Kashmir, it will not receive any significant support from the US or many other capitals around the world. Pakistani rulers have to be more down to earth in dealing with other nations. Global diplomacy is not about human rights; it’s about national interests, above all.

Comments : The last sentence reflected Lord Palmerston, Henry John Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston - British Prime Minister and British Foreign Minister- stating Nations have no permanent friends or allies, they only have permanent interests. We have no eternal allies, and we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual, and these interests it is our duty to follow.

Cheers

Honest question - has there been a recent GoI update about the restrictions in Kashmir? The last update mentioned that only a few police stations have restrictions. So are schools, markets, govt offices functioning? From the videos I've seen on SM by Aditya Kaul and Imtiaz Hussain, there is traffic on the streets and some hawkers, but markets seem shut..

Markets remain shut on Day 54(I must have lost count..)

Restrictions under Section 144 CrPc were imposed on Friday morning in various parts of the valley, the officials said. They said the curbs were imposed in five police station areas of Nowhatta, Rainawari, Safakadal, Khanyar and Maharaj Gunj in downtown (interior areas) and in Hazratbal zone in Srinagar. restrictions were also imposed in Ganderbal, Anantnag, Awantipora, Sopore and Handwara towns of the valley, the officials added. The authorities also sealed the Lal Chowk city centre the commercial hub of the city by placing barricades and concertina wires on all entry and exit points leading to the area, they said.

The officials said the curbs were imposed as a precautionary measure to maintain law and order in view of the Friday congregational prayers.

Oh! That's naaarmal.

Mobile services remained suspended in Kashmir except in Handwara and Kupwara areas in the north, while Internet services -- across all platforms continued to be snapped in the valley, they added.

UB,

Not sure what you mean by "No news".

As I see it Hit Wicket Imran just made headlines:

1) A jew actually won a case against the head whatever. (Never mind it was 100s of years ago - please disregard that fact.). Never mind that since then the head whatever has been winning without going to court

2) There is only one Islam (get that straight folks). The Prime Minister of Pakistan just jettisoned all Jihadis. Hear ye all Jihadis, you are no longer Muslims. Hope you feel the all-pervading presence of Kafirdom (actually it is not that bad)

But, you see, Hit Wicket went to the West while he was a teen. I certainly did not.

What a yoyo.

That sounds about right. Dimran has already spoken about what Bakis want to do - as soon as restrictions are lifted, they want to organize protests, and conduct a false-flag massacre.
Winter is a good time to lift the restrictions and let the temperature do the natural clamp down.

UlanBatori · Post by **UlanBatori** » 28 Sep 2019 16:08

There is no "civil disobedience". THAT is the revelation that Pakis cannot tolerate. Only fear of terrorists. And that is what the govt is working to root out.

7.5% of the land area is probably much of the populated parts of KV but I for one totally support a clampdown there until the place is cleansed. As UBCN suggested, it would be tragic if some parts of KV were to be found with Contagious Diseases. This is quite likely because the fundoos reject vaccination, and because Dal Lake is basically an open cesspool. So this area needs to be Quarantined. Many people evacuated ASAP. To Bihar. GOI needs to get a few costumes from the set of "Andromeda Strain" and have some ppl walk around into those carrying test-tubes.

After China raises Kashmir matter at UNGA, India points at ‘illegal’ economic corridor in PoK
The Ministry of External Affairs reiterated that Jammu and Kashmir is ‘entirely a matter internal to’ India.
The Ministry of External Affairs on Saturday said it noted Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s mention of Kashmir dispute at the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Ministry Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said that China is well aware that the conflict in Kashmir is “entirely a matter internal to us”, and that Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh are an integral part of India.
“We expect that other countries will respect India’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and desist from efforts to change the status quo through the illegal so-called China Pakistan Economic Corridor in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir,” Kumar added.
During Chinese President Xi Jinping’s 2015 visit to Islamabad, Pakistan and China inked an agreement to start work on the $46 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, or CPEC, which consists of a network of infrastructure and energy projects. India has repeatedly raised concerns about the CPEC as it travels through parts of Kashmir that are occupied by Pakistan. The corridor is an integral part of Beijing’s $900 billion One Belt, One Road, later renamed Belt and Road Initiative, which was unveiled in 2013. The corridor connects Kashgar in western China with Gwadar port in Pakistan.

Security Forces Kill Three Terrorists Who Held A Man Hostage In J&K’s Ramban; One Soldier Martyred In Encounter

Kakkaji · Post by **Kakkaji** » 28 Sep 2019 21:10

One of most wanted Hizbul militants among three terrorists eliminated in Jammu and Kasmhir’s Ramban

The terrorists, identified as Osama and his associates Zahid and Farooq, were gunned down after they tried to escape from a house where they had barged in while being chased by security forces following a brief exchange of fire in Batote area along Jammu-Kishtwar national highway early this morning, they said, adding a house-owner was also rescued after the encounter ended.

Osama was the brain behind several sensational incidents including the killings of senior BJP leader Anil Parihar and his brother Ajit Parihar on November 1, 2018 and RSS functionary Chanderkant Sharma and his PSO on April 9, officials said. He was carrying a reward of several lakhs of rupees and was also wanted in three weapon snatching incidents in Kishtwar town, which was declared terrorist-free over a decade ago.

Question: Recently in the course of seeing something else I saw a terse comment from Sandhya Jain (no endorsement implied) saying "CPEC has been dead for months" or words 2 that effect. She was dissing the author of the column.

Since sanity is not a feature to expect from either the columnist nor the commentor, I have to ask:

What gives? I know Gwadar has been made "intelesting" by Baloch patriots, but is CPEC really dead...?

Along those lines: Under what circumstances would PeeAllSee stop the project and pull out their PeeEllAy and any other cheen laborers and support personnel?

By support personnel I mean port and road engineers, and specialists like the see-near staff of Led Rips Massage Palroul in Islamabad, scene of brisk batting practice by the (pbuh) Kendo Stix Sistahs of the Lal Masjid?

Point is that if those circumstances occur and have the desired effect, that would be an appropriate time to render the road corridor kaput and re-take the GB areas. No direct confrontation with PeeEllAy needed, no Loss-e-Face.

2. Is it possible that Pakis broadcasted it over long range AM frequencies.

It is very important that a Naya Srinagar is created and pandits are resettled there. Also all ex-servicemen should be provided residency and land in Jammu & Kashmir UT and provided loans to build tourism businesses such as travel agency or homestays or restaurants.

I hate we're being so defensive about Kashmir in the international fora. At last in domestic arena, we're talking about getting back PoK. But outside, we're still being quite defensive.

There is a huge scope for diplomatic aggression, and I'm disappointed that we're not making good use of that.

When have we asked Pakistan to provide real "azaadi" to the so-called "azad kashmir" ? If they so care about "azaadi", they can withdraw the troops from there, no ? It even complies with the UN Security Council resolution.

We saw Dimran scoring a major self-goal and we didn't even capitalize on this. Before 9/11, Pakistan military supported and aided Taliban and Al-qaeda. 9/11 happened. Pakistan did 180 degree turn and supported US. Dimmy called this a huge blunder. Therefore - a) Pakistan military assisted in 9/11 and b ) Dimmy supported Al Qaeda even after 9/11 when US was bleeding against it.

Why don't we bring UNHCR resolution against Bakis on their human rights records against minorities ? Or about Balochistan ?

Whenever Dimran brings up "8 lakh troops in J&K", why don't we just say we're guarding against repeat of Op Grandslam and Kargil. And ask Dimran to decrease TSPA troop strength or something like that ?

When do we tell China to part with us a proportion of the profits of CPEC (granted, there probably will never be, but that's beside the point) ?

All this is definitely possible. We just need to get rid of our defensive mindset.

1. re: {baki} troop withdrawl and UN resolution.
GOI has to be careful. It has dismissed all talks of plebiscite and hence does not want to talk about UN resolution. It cannot talk of one part i.e. baki troop withdrawal while at the same time dismiss the other part i.e. plebiscite without appearing dishonest.

Bakis don't care about appearing dishonest before the world decision makers but India does. However, it had the effect of allowing bakis a free run as far as narratives building amongst the media, activist and masses is concerned.

2. re: "Dimran scoring a major self-goal"
Dimran has scored not one but several self-goals and India does use such material when briefing other nations. Modi did link 9/11 to Bakistan at the Howdy Modi event. However, India does not compete with bakistan/Dimran shouting matches, hardly any other country does.

3. re: Why don't we bring UNHCR resolution against Bakis on their human rights records against minorities?
Bakis where unsuccessful right? A normal country chooses not to interfere in the internal affairs of another country. That is the general principle.

However after Dimran's rant at the UNGA, we did have a line on the status of minorities in bakistan in the right to reply. Our failure is not at the official level but at the media level where bakis have invested hugely and successfully against India aided by anti-India and anti-Modi "Indian" voices.

4. re: China ... profits of CPEC
MEA did issue a statement on CPEC after the Chinese comment on Kashmir at UNGA. Asking for profit will gives legitimacy to an illegal act plus there is no profit. Pointing the illegality is the way to go.

The GoI is doing the correct thing and keeping the UN out of it.

It's best this way.

China is currently on the back foot because of trump. This may not last long so we must make hay while the sun shines.

We need to kick the sanctimonious UK right where it hurts them the most and quit the impotent commonwealth, downsize the high commissions and get bilateral trade, if any, on a strictly commercial footing without any false pappi jhappi and the obsequious manmohan singh type ring kissing.

UK without the EU is a third grade sub saharan type impoverished muslim state, looking to capitalize on false colonial empathy and brazenly purposeful amnesia to whitewash her brutal colonial plunder, the savagely violent, oppressive rule, and theft on a gargantuan scale to appear benevolent and regally accommodative of India.

The racist overtones still dominate the relationship but since times and fortunes have changed and subtly the overt has now gone covert.
