HOW AMERICAN JEWISH THINK-TANKS ARE LURING INDIA INTO THEIR PARLOUR OVER KASHMIR
By Ghulam Muhammed
As an Indian Muslim, I am all for the new Indian initiative to come to some arrangements with Pakistan and the people of Kashmir over Kashmir imbroglio so that the whole sub-continent may savor real peace that had eluded the two neighbors, warring over Kashmir for the last half a century.
Much that the current initiative --- starting with one of the many CBMs (Confidence Building Measure) ----flagging off a bus services opening the gates across the symbolically important travel route between capitals of the two parts of the divided Kashmir --- is most welcome and has generated a genuine upsurge of popular opinion from both India and Pakistan, the antecedents and the course that this BUS diplomacy could take, should be open to public scrutiny.
It is surprising that the problem of Kashmir attracts more in-depth coverage in the West, than in Indian and Pakistan media. The people are continuously kept in the dark, with the pious arguments that negotiations would better be engaged in private, rather than in public and through media headlines. However, this process is fraught with dangers, when the rulers of both negotiation teams are so pressured through political give and take, that they could barter away the very independence, sovereignty and freedom of their country to a third party, that appears on the scene merely as facilitator, a common friend, a universal well-wisher. The people, like the cuckolded husband, would be the last to know.
The people of India and Pakistan should be made aware as to what are the stakes of the US facilitators and what will be the cost of their friendly advice and facilitation.
Indian public is snowed under with embarrassment of riches, that Bush in his phone call and Condi Rice in her personal visit are showering on both India and Pakistan. Though there is hardly any serious discussion as to what come after. It is common knowledge, that there is no free lunch.
Bruce Fein, an American Jewish lawyer and ‘international’ consultant with Lichfield group, who was associate deputy attorney general under President Ronald Reagan, in an article published by a Mumbai eveninger, Mid-day, might have released the cat out of the bag, when he writes:
“India squanders 800,000 troops and paramiliatary personnel plus billions in defending the line of control ---”.
The most urgent priority for the expansionist US superpower is to extend its hegemony over weak and indefensible countries around the world, through to use of US military power. This is the sacred blueprint that the American Jewish Neo-con planners have scripted for America’s New Century and their own New World Order. With their invasion of Iraq, resulting in tremendous strain on their human and material resources, they are drooling over India’s riches of 800,000 troops, engaged in a worthless exercise that could hardly be justified in their ‘investment oriented’ logic of armed warfare. In invading Iraq, US warmongers have gone to great length to work out the input-output equation to venture in this cold-blooded business enterprise. Indian rulers appear to be unfit and unfamiliar with this universal business of loot and scoot. They have been pouring precious billions into the western border defenses, just to press a point that Maharaja of Kashmir had duly signed an inst! rument of accession. For good order, western sources have put out, that the signature on that document is a fake and India is bleeding for half a century over a dispute that is possibly legally un-maintainable in international law, while its armed resources could be more profitably deployed in other theaters of the world, where the booty is much more substantial than the fake glory of making Kashmir a virtual prisoner camp, both for the people as well as the armed forces.
Jewish thinkers and bankers have a long history of treating war as a business proposal. They invest the money and they want the returns. The Neo-con group that originally worked out the New American Century plan, with full co-operation and encouragement from Israeli ruling and opposition leaders, has got the whole of America in a new euphoric mood to re-conquer the old colonized world, by investing their credit lines in armed conflicts around the world. All they lack are sufficient military forces fighting on the ground level. They have enough arsenals to destroy the whole world, a few times over. However, as shrewd business people, they want only to exploit and suck the blood of their victims, and not interested in total destruction. It will be like slaughtering the golden goose. India and Pakistan with their pool of millions of fighting men, who had in the past fought colonial wars on behalf of their colonial masters, are the most attractive sleeping partners that can! be brought to join the neo-colonial enterprise.
For lot of people at the helm of affairs in both, India and Pakistan, this is what is becoming a world power all about. However, those will some recall of history, how colonial wars in Asia, Middle East, Africa and even the internecine European armed conflicts had darkened the last few centuries, will be more than cautious in allowing India and Pakistan to become the next theater of bloody wars of much more brutal consequences. For the American Jewish Think Tanks, wars are business as usual. They want perpetual wars for perpetual peace. India had had altogether different ethos. Its natural wealth had always attracted others to invade it. India has never gone out to invade other nations, at least as long as it was master of its own destiny. The colonials are back.
A sad fact is, that the ruling Brahmins are convinced that they cannot perpetuate their rule in India, through democratic means. In pursuance of their own security, interest and future prospects, they are extremely vulnerable to political and economic pressure to join hands with American Jewish Think Tanks and bankers, and deliver the whole sub-continent as willing partner to India’s New Century of blood and gore, instead of the glittering prospects of a new economic dawn. Indian people will not forget, Atal Behari Vajpayee’s PMO head, Brajesh Mishra announcing the new strategic agreement with the US administration, at the most prominent Jewish Think Tank organization, American Enterprise Institute in Washington.
Just like Pakistan, Democratic India is soon to lose its freedom to act. Let people beware! In the euphoria over the peaceful Kashmir solution, we should not lose sight of wider issues involved and should be prepared to resist any cooked up solutions that will require India to fight other people’s wars of conquest and exploitation. India should not be in the front line of any international conflict that is imposed on it through manipulation and subterfuge.
