It beats me..
I am unable to understand why India should listen to someone calling for reduction in troops in the sovreign territorial area of India, especially when they are deployed to fight insurgency and hostile activites and not to wage a war. I am no politician and my knowledge about these things may be limited, but as a citizen of India, it irks me to hear such suggestions from across the border. Now, Mr. Omar Abdullah too is kowtowing the same line.There is so much more to life that voilence and attrocities. Just like US fed the taliban to fight Russia and now they are "reaping" the crop, similarly, Pakistan started the insurgent operations to get hold of J&K but to what avail, a la Frankenstein. Are they themselves living in peace today? I would like to ask, if they had diverted the funds used to train militants, in peaceful and constructive purposes, Pakistan would have had a better social life today. Similarly, India's financial and human resources could have been used in better ways.
So many lives have been lost since 1990, how many more would it take?
Talks are going on with China. If they resolve amicably, hopefully, India will have one headache less, again, hopefully. We all need to go on with life.
If one were to graph all events on a timeline and step back and view things in a macro level, we all would find all this strife and war simply meaningless.
But alas nobody understands. Having said that, if I were to put down my arms, I know I would get killed. So what are my options?
