West Bengal is not a state.
It is a wound on India’s eastern flank.

2,216 kilometres.
That is Bengal’s border with Bangladesh.

Practically penetrated.
Every night.

I know.

TMC lost Bengal long back.
But what you are about to read…
never reached television studios.

Early morning.
2023.
New Delhi.

A room with no windows.
No cameras.
No official minutes.

The Prime Minister sat at the head.
NSA beside him.
Home Minister.
Defence Minister.
BSF chief.
RAW officer.
IB officer.

Seven chairs.
One problem.

The IB officer spoke first.

October 2, 2014.
Burdwan.
Khagragarh.

A rented house.
Disguised as a burqa factory.

Inside?
JMB operatives building IEDs.

The blast happened accidentally.

2 dead.
55 IEDs recovered.
RDX.
Hand grenades.

This was not a crime scene.
It was a forward operating base.
Inside India.

Then the BSF chief opened a file.

569 kilometres of border.
Still unfenced.

Land acquisition stalled.
Year after year.

Not incompetence.
Strategy.

Because elections were no longer about ideology.
They were about demography.

Murshidabad.
Malda.
North Dinajpur.

Voter rolls that did not match census data.

Aadhaar cards.
Ration cards.
Voter IDs.

Distributed quietly.
Per head.

Like a business model.
With quarterly targets.

Then came the routes.

ISI.
JMB.
Rohingya identities.

Yaba tablets.
Fake currency.
Small arms.

Myanmar to Bangladesh.
Bangladesh to Bengal.
Bengal to the rest of India.

The Home Minister spoke next.

The Centre wanted BSF jurisdiction expanded.
From 15 km inland…
to 50.

The TMC Government resisted.

A CM blocking a border force…
inside her own border state.

Then the NSA placed a map on the table.

22 kilometres.

That is all separating mainland India from the Northeast.

7 states.
40 million people.
One vulnerable corridor.

The Siliguri Corridor.
The Chicken’s Neck.

Bangladesh below it.
China above it.

Lalmonirhat airbase.
135 kilometres away.
And Beijing will take over it soon.

The room went silent.

One voice finally said it.
“Declare President’s Rule.”
“Take the border out of state hands.”

The Prime Minister shook his head.
“Not possible.”

Courts would intervene.
And Article 356 would not erase,
15 years of engineered demography.

Then came the line nobody wrote down.
“There is only one permanent solution.”

No order was issued that day.
No press release.
No announcement.

But a message left that room.

West Bengal.
2026.

Not just an election.

A national security operation,
wearing democratic clothes.

May 2026.
BJP wins Bengal.

378 kilometres of stalled fencing.
Unblocked.

BSF jurisdiction.
Expanded.

NIA and state police.
Coordinated.

The document rackets.
Exposed.

And for the first time in 15 years…

The Siliguri Corridor had a government
friendly to India’s security interests.

India had just won something
the world still has no vocabulary for.

But someone in that 2023 room already did.

@Manish Sharma ji, good points by Deepesh, but for this small slip

> That is all separating mainland India from the Northeast.

If you can DM him, please do and point out that "mainland" is used by CCCP shills to say that Taiwan is splittist. We should not use it in India's context. MTC.

Thanks Vayutuvan ji!
I will pass it on..

Perhaps but the issue is that for now these beedis/rohingyas have simply dispersed into the remaining slum area which is not razed. Some have taken up temporary residence in the muslim area adjoining the Mahim causeway. And of course just across the creek, barely a few hundred meters away, there is the big daddy of them all - Dharavi.

Land reclamation is one part. But it needs to be accompanied with deportation. Else we are just passing the ticking bomb around.
be no different than the earlier such 'drives'

We had been to the very same area to shop just this february. We were on way from Vashi to Snatacruz/Vile Parle for shopping for Bridal wear. These are disgusting places. All designer showrooms are also in the middle of chaos, degradation, dirty premises. No place to eat a decent vegetarian meal. My experience was so horrible that I will go to Vashi via NMIC once airservice the US starts.

Mumbai is a dead city.

Indian Foreign Secretary @NMenonRao laughing heartily as she shakes hands with her Pak counterpart Salman Bashir in New Delhi on July 26, 2011, barely two weeks after Pakistani terrorists Waqqas and Danish funded by LeT bombed Mumbai on July 13, 2011 killing 26 innocent Indians.

Not being snarky at all, but I genuinely want to know how he found out the details of a meeting between high level officials that had no windows and wasnt minuted.

My own question
Is why does
he write like this?


Every statement
Max 3 words.
2 Girls.
1 Cup.

Is this communication style
The future.
Or present.

[Vayutuvan]

Probably he is either going for Haiku style poetry or Sootra as in boudhaayana soolva sootra.

This lady has always been a surrender monkey, and a complete walk-over by Pakistani, Chinese and Bangladeshi diplomats. She is more into maintaining personal bonhomie with foreign diplomats than pushing national interest

“Take the border out of state hands.”

India's land borders are too important to be left to tender mercies of mercenary provincial parties ruling border states like AAP / TMC. Best solution is to declare a 2 km strip all along India's land borders as union territory, and depopulate it. Pay people compensation for the land and ask them to move inwards. This strip has to be staffed only by army and BSF. This will secure India's land borders immediately

You already have article 355. Center can invoke it but they avoid it due to the ensuing political drama. Deployment of central forces cannot be restricted to x km. It depends on the threat perception, geography, type of force to be deployed etc. Article 355 gives you that blanket power. However the problem in Bengal and Punjab are different. But in both cases IB will be active and center will know what is going on. However in Bengal, there needs to be a political lever to get rid of the long term national security threat. Hence the center showed patience.
