We don’t want WAR, But it aint our weakness
The recent news of Pakistan consistently asking for more evidence and considerably changing its statements is completely baseless and if facts are to be figuratively and subjectively considered, the Pak Govt is not to be believed this time at least. It’s not that it should be WAR, but surely that in case of one the INDIAN MILITARY should spare nothing to bring them down as they did thrice before, be it with or without nuke. The possibility of war is not remote but it isn’t that very submissive as well. The necessity of the hour to is check in with a few things that can cripple the Indian soil in case of a brink of war.
The following article briefs up a few things:
1. Economy Drop.
2. All Gross to the Army for war and subsequent after math of war.
3. Civilian deaths, unnecessary destruction.
4. Loss of resources.
These are the very few but if a Nuke happens, May God Forbid, there will be even more to add to this after mayhem effects. We do not want them.
Here is a look at some possible scenarios for India in event of war:
POLITICAL
The Indian government faced widespread voter anger at the security and intelligence failures that led to the Mumbai attacks and must go to the polls by May. A strong response could see people rally behind it.
The opposition BJP has made militant attacks a major campaign issue ahead of the general elections and has already indicated it would back the government if it chose to go to war. However, the BJP has also been criticised in some quarters for being opportunistic in making terrorism an election issue.
India signed a landmark civilian nuclear cooperation deal with the United States earlier this year and might hope its growing political ties with Washington would get a further boost if it hit militant targets inside Pakistan with missiles and fighter jets.
But war would complicate the West's efforts to stabilise Afghanistan, a major priority for Washington and President-elect Barack Obama's new administration. Some jihadi groups fighting Indian rule in Kashmir have built ties with al Qaeda and the Taliban in Pakistan's ethnic Pashtun tribal belt on the Afghan border.
SECURITY
- India lost 8,000 soldiers in the three wars it has already fought with Pakistan and would naturally not want to suffer more casualties if it began significant troop movements to its western border.
In case of war, India's big concern would be internal security. Maoist guerrillas -- described by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as the biggest internal security threat -- could be expected to step up attacks, along with rebel groups in the northeast.
As India moves its troops guarding the India-China and Indo-Myanmar borders in the remote northeast to western India, militants could also use the vast gaps left behind to infiltrate into India.
Islamist militant groups could also use this opportunity to enter Indian territory from the fluid border with Bangladesh and carry out suicide strikes to further divert attention.
ECONOMY
- With India struggling to recover from the effects of a global economic meltdown, a war could mean a disaster for the country which, according to economic think tanks, would have to spend an estimated $3 billion on troop movements alone.
There would be an immediate effect on trade, with sea and air routes disrupted. On the other hand, the manufacturing industry would gain as demand for war hardware would increase, providing more employment opportunities.
In such a case, is it worth a step towards the brink of war ???
India and Pakistan are engaged in a war of words over last month's Mumbai attacks, but experts say a real conflict between the two nuclear-armed rivals is highly unlikely.
The Possible steps the INDIAN GOVERNMENT can take at this time to avoid anymore interactions with Pakistan are :
Two steps the Government can take immediately:
· STEP No.1: Downgrade the diplomatic relations with Pakistan, terminate all economic relations including bilateral trade and communication links, suspend the confidence-building measures and the so-called peace process, terminate the talks on the gas pipeline from Iran through Pakistan and withdraw from the so-called joint counter-terrorism mechanism, which has been a farce forced on Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh by the US. Announce that these actions will remain in force till Pakistan acts against the LeT and its terrorist leaders and infrastructure and hands over to India the terrorists wanted for trial in India.
· STEP No. 2: Revive immediately the covert action capability of the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW), which was wound up by Inder Gujral, when he was the Prime Minister in 1997, and empower it to impose prohibitive costs on Pakistan till it stops using jihadi terrorism against India. The R&AW imposed heavy costs on Pakistan for supporting the Khalistanis and should be able to do so now for its support to the LeT and other jihadi terrorist organizations.
