I can't believe how some of us here can be so high to think that full blown war is in India's best interest. It is not. Not in any way. Its the last resort and it has to be escalated and imposed by pakistan on us.
Some of you guys here have ascribed our slow economic growth to terrorism. It is categorically wrong. From 2000-2016 we faced regular terror attacks even in our metro cities still our country continued to grow. It was our economic policies that had put a spanner in our economic growth. It is those policies which lead to the birth of naxalism in India. It is only after liberalization it became feasible and tenable to rid mumbai of its mafia raaj.
Yes, Terrorism takes a toll. Also, we can't let the foe spill the blood of our innocent civilians. Its the duty of the state to protect them and guarantee the security of our Hindu population. Invaders shall not enjoy that protection.
So, a detterent and exemplar action must take place. If need be let us go to full war. But try to do it without full scale war. We have more to loose in a full blown war. We can achieve the same objective differently. Our objective is to solve the problem of terrorism. Its biggest inspiration is pakistan and the idea of pakistan. So, its destruction of pakistan state that is our objective. Not annihilation of green pigs alone. We need to think strategically guys. We need to leverage our strengths and impose a cost on pakistan. To this effect we need to know who will inherit that geography. That new geography should not exist in the form of pakistan. It should exist in the form of Nation State of Sindh, Nation State of Baluchistan, Nation state of punjab, Nation state of Paktunwa. There should be no pakistan state but multitude of states.
How we do that? A full blown war just annihilates the pakistan govt and not state. Pakistan military brass is happy to throw expendable green meat in the grinder. They have enough Airforce and military to inflict heavy casuality on us. By destroying lahore or islamabad we don't hurt them much. Those are usurpers they will loot from their own civilians. Our govt can't. Even destruction of Delhi will cost us a trillion dollar atleast. I am sure they can inflict that cost on us in full scale war. How much cost can we inflict on them. Also we don't even achieve our objective.
So, our only reliable and sure pathway is slow cooking of the pakistan. Let us impose economic blocade on them make them land locked. Now, there supply chains will run from Iran and Afganistan. It helps insurgents baluchs and taliban more. They can entrench themselves more in their regions. Let us seize them and starve them. We should couple it with by locking their military personnel on Indian border. The more we lock them on International border the less they can interfere with insurgents. Our objective is to empower insurgents. We should not let the conflict zone extend more than 30KM from our borders. We should slowly creep forward montly in this war.
A full scale war is more harmful to us and redundant when we can achieve the same objective in much more economical way. We have the leverage and we should put it full use. The objective is to finish the idea of pakistan. If you don't have any idea how to do it. Then please don't do your rona dona here. Full Scale war response is not the correct response.
Its just like Americans fighting in Vietnam. You are not killing the idea of vietnam. You are just favoring a form of govt. Our objective is to kill the idea of pakistan. WE can do so only when the insurgents in pakistan are powerful, just like East pakistan of 1971. India succeeded at that time because East Pakistan had it enough with west pakistan. So, we need to have sindhi's, baluch's, pastun's to have it enough with punjabi dominated pakistan. We can do it when we starve them. Thats why IWT is important. Now we will gain ability to control their water. An informal naval blocade will make them landlocked and their supply chains will run from Iran or Afganistan. It empowers the baluchs and talibanis more. Locking their personnel in a low intensity limited conflict over an extended period of time allows the insurgents to bridge the power gap between pakistan army. This is what we need to do. We need to slow cook them and splinter into pieces. We can do all it while ourselves gaining economic weight and lubricating our industrial complex. Let us choose the best option.
