India
was dismembered under a colonial rule in 1947 to serve the interest of the
super power of the time; falling and failing British Empire.
It intrigues me and millions of Indians; as, how a small Island Nation could
control not only India
but a large part of humanity and earth for centuries? This must have been due
to two important things; one is the National Unity and the second one being the
Leadership. If India
were to redraw the map of Asia on ground and in the mindset
(without firing a bullet); then, it should attempt to forge National Unity and
Develop a Strong & Bold Leadership. It is quite possible to reverse the
division of India
in letter and spirit if we could play our cards well enough. Pakistan
has been a thorn in the neck since its inception more due to its military and
fundamentalist leadership who have thus far run and ruined the civilian
Leadership and ordinary peace loving and cricket aficionado Pakistanis. Given a
choice Pakistanis would love to sing and dance with Indians in Mussiarahs
either in Mumbai or in Lahore. India
needs to enhance the quality and quantity of its contacts with Pakistan
civil society in spite of all odds; while dealing with war mongers and people
with evil designs very firmly. Indian security establishments has enough depth
to keep tab on those elements stealthily and neutralize them in covert
operation inside or outside the designated territory; in this apparently the
peace loving people would co-operate with India on their own interest. India
has started well with Bangladesh
but it needs more momentum; as columnist after columnist advised India
to be more open and broad minded while dealing with its neighbors by addressing
their sensitive concerns. The West Bengal Govt. has been a stumbling block on
this; as Mamata Banerji remains very scared of red brigade. But, she can be
brought around with little dosages of ego massages which our NSA could do well.
Further, India
need to invest heavily on Tibetan issue to give justice to suffering people of Tibet
while attempting to restore neutral state status of Tibet
and a buffer between India
and China. All
of this could happen without firing a bullet and changing the map of Asia
substantially in this century.
