GHOSTS FROM HISTORY

The recent de-classification of British documents prove how Gandhi and Nehru were used by the NATO founders to promote cold-war strategic interests. Pakistan and Kashmir figure prominently in those conspiracies .There is evidence that even as Congress launched the "Quit India" movement, Gandhi had already given a secret nod to India’s Partition ! Farookh Abdullah’s father was the second factor : the man responsible for sowing unrest among Kashmiri Muslims .In a passport application form, he had even refused to declare himself an Indian ! Curiously, Nehru who was fully aware of Abdullah’s anti-national designs never tried him for sedition, despite the fact that Maharaja Hari Singh was wholly ready to merge with Hindustan ! Worse, the very instrument of accession was made subject to approval of the Sheikh and his Muslim flock by the Gandhi-Nehru coterie !

This implies atleast one of the following : that the duo lacked confidence in it’s ability to maintain India’s integrity ( and so, were unfit for rule) , or that they acted under Western instructions ! Why else would anyone include the condition of a plebiscite in a matter of such magnitude ? The same must be the reason why Nehru declared an abrupt cease-fire in 1942 even though we were winning all the way, and moreover when one-third Kashmir still remained in Pakistani fangs ! Such was the crooked Nehruvian approach to this crucial question . In contrast, Jinnah was espousing the state’s merger with his country with fanatical zeal ! These then were the circumstances responsible for the creation of PoK and it’s poison ; this is the "unfinished business of Partition" which Pakistan talks about – the legacy of which is now being shouldered by Musharraf.

Today the entire Kashmir valley is awash with OIC funded seminaries and Pakistani infiltrators ! The cease-fire by the Hizbul Mujaheedin was always an illusion for Kashmiri militancy is a multi-headed demon : it is senseless if one head talks peace while the others spew venom ! The Amarnath massacre proves this . Above all , how can one forget that the nucleus of this cancer remains Pakistan ? It is a country which on it’s very first birthday chanted, "Pakistan was a piece of cake; but our goal is Hindustan and we shall use brute force to achieve it !" It is a country which has publicly resolved to "bleed India to death with a thousand cuts !"

How illogical then, are the aspirations of our successive governments to find a "peaceful solution" to Kashmir ! How absurd is their resolve to continue "dialogue" with rank murderers ! Don’t our governments know the very foundations of Islam and Pakistan ? Haven’t they heard that one can’t

Shake hands with a fist ? Don’t they understand that a turbulent Kashmir serves Western and Chinese interests ? Don’t our governments really see the ominous significance of Hindu population being virtually wiped out from the Valley ? If the answers be negative, we have no choice but to proclaim that our "secular and democratic" Constitution has failed us very badly !
