When executing “Operation Sindoor 1.0”, didn’t the Government of India officially declare that “henceforth, any act of terrorist violence against us will be treated as a direct war”? This is something known to Pakistan, America, China, and everyone else. Despite this, how did Pakistan’s Jaish-e-Mohammed jihadist terrorists find the audacity to plot blasts across India and execute a car bomb explosion in Delhi?
The blow Pakistan received during Operation Sindoor is no ordinary one. A major portion of that treacherous nation’s nuclear arsenal has been rendered inactive. Many airbases destroyed back then are still in the process of being repaired. Nuclear control centers (e.g., Noor Khan), which America was secretly operating inside Pakistan against India, have also been decimated. They were simply lucky that the Karachi naval base survived. Under such circumstances, how did they gather the sheer insolence to attempt another misadventure?
According to security sources, this audacity actually does not originate from Pakistan. This is an artificial bravado provided by America, which repeatedly summons Asim Munir to the United States, treats him to lavish feasts, wipes his tears, and holds secret consultations. China has a share in this too, along with other powers. If we look closely, just like America is instigating Zelenskyy and fueling a war in Ukraine against Russia, a plan to create a Ukraine-like situation for India was prepared long ago. America had set out to turn India into a Ukraine against China. This is the American style of diplomacy: “Fight a (proxy) war on our behalf. If blows are traded, you take the hit. But keep fighting the war. It doesn’t matter if you are destroyed, as long as our strategic interests triumph.”
The moment it became certain that India was not ready to become a scapegoat like Ukraine, a plan was hatched to create a Ukraine-like conundrum right next to India. The elected government in Bangladesh was ousted, and Muhammad Yunus, a CIA puppet, was brought to power. However, when Yunus began playing a double game by leaning slightly toward China, Bangladesh was handed over into the hands of Pakistan’s ISI. The plot they devised to create terror in India’s “Chicken’s Neck” region did not work out as they expected. Around that time, the drama of the “Gen-Z rebellion” started in Nepal. Sources say that after that too failed to influence India, a plan has now been made to push Pakistan itself onto the sacrificial altar.
There are suspicions that countries like China, Turkey, and Qatar have joined hands in the conspiracy to suppress India. This is not as simple as it appears on the surface. What should India do now? At the time of writing this, different media outlets and various politicians are putting forth a multitude of arguments. In the wake of the unprecedented success achieved by Operation Sindoor, we must wait and see what the government and military forces decide to do next. Our security experts are privy to many internal matters unknown to the public. Therefore, we do not need to offer them any “wisdom.”
Sooner or later, fighting a war against Pakistan at an ‘appropriate level’ or engaging in a ‘decisive’ war is inevitable. However, declaring war today just because someone exerted ‘pressure’, or indefinitely postponing a battle that needs to be fought today by bowing to someone, are both incorrect. Those who exert two different types of pressures—to wage war and not to wage war—may have their own reasons, thought processes, motives, and ulterior designs. It is not necessary that all of them align with India’s interests. It could also be a trap designed to ensnare us through provocation. Since the government has given freedom to our military and security forces, it is enough if the opinions of the relevant security officials are given due respect.
Enough of the various interpretations, arguments, stances, and dramas regarding Pakistan’s jihadist terrorism. At a time when the world is moving toward a direct confrontation, sugarcoated words are of no use. We need to directly identify the reality at hand. Security forces have known from the very beginning that a section of Indian Muslims (and some non-Muslims as well) have been working on behalf of the ISI, ISIS, and Al-Qaeda. The agenda before all of them is not merely to merge Jammu and Kashmir with Pakistan. The goal and dream placed before them is ‘Ghazwa-e-Hind’ (establishing Islamic rule across the whole of India). If this weren’t the case, Pakistan orchestrating terrorism in other states of India, and third-party countries like Turkey and Qatar poking their noses into it, would make no sense. Without the dream of ‘Ghazwa’, there is no other reason for a misguided section of Muslims in India to work for Pakistan. If the call was simply, “Come, let’s merge India’s Jammu and Kashmir with Pakistan through terrorism,” what benefit would Indian Muslims derive from following it? That is not the narrative that the Pakistanis, the CIA, and Chinese forces are filling their heads with. According to knowledgeable sources, they are being brainwashed with the narrative: “The Islamization of India is your religious duty. Therefore, join hands with international forces. Let us all realize this old dream together.” It is said that certain powers are sowing a false sense of solidarity, claiming that “Ghazwa-e-Hind is not impossible; it is a viable project. Turkey, Pakistan, and ISIS are all partners in fulfilling it.”
Organizations like ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Hamas, and the Muslim Brotherhood, along with countries like Qatar, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, are intoxicating Muslim youth with the obsession of ‘global Islamization’. Already in Europe, the number of factions openly roaming around talking about an “Islamic Europe” has grown excessively. Internal problems are growing in America as well. The jihadist agenda has enveloped the Democratic Party. Even so, America has not abandoned its old habit of using ‘Jihad’ as its strategic weapon against other nations. America’s incurable psychological issue has turned into a massive security nightmare for other countries.
Author Aan Hirsi Ali had put forth an argument, the essence of which is as follows: “Globally, 99% of Muslims are peace-loving. They do not want any riots. They focus on leading their own lives. The remaining 1% are obsessed with religious politics. Global powers work to further brainwash such individuals and utilize them for their projects. Even if just 1% of the Muslim population lets the intoxication of jihad get to their heads and becomes active, it poses a massive threat to global peace and security. It is of no use even if the remaining 99% of the Muslim population is peace-loving, because the number of fundamentalists making up that 1% is quite substantial in itself.”
There is no need to wonder how educated individuals and doctors became terrorists. Religious fanaticism has nothing to do with college education. The notion that “only the illiterate and unemployed easily fall into the trap of terrorist organizations” is a lie spread by defenders of extremists, and it is not backed by global data or evidence. Most leaders of terrorist organizations are highly educated. While some might come through madrasa education, the majority of the leaders come through ‘secular’ education. One cannot forget that Osama bin Laden himself was an engineer, Ayman al-Zawahiri was a doctor, and Zakir Naik is also a doctor.
Religious and political-ideological opium has spared no one, regardless of their background. The madness to conquer the entire world is no ordinary madness. Just as there is a distinction between forest Naxals and urban Naxals, a distinction between Mujahideen jihadists (the executioners) and drawing-board or laptop jihadists (the planners) has existed from the beginning. Jihadist masterminds are all highly educated. Furthermore, their terrorist violence is not their independent decision. The strings of their violence are held, planned, and executed by the government, military, and intelligence agencies of Pakistan (or other countries). Therefore, jihadist terrorism is not the “work of uneducated, illiterate angry men.” It is a highly organized proxy war.
The ‘proxy war’ that Pakistan is waging against India cannot, in reality, be attributed to Pakistan alone. According to many experts, agencies like the CIA and China’s MSS (CCP party) are behind Pakistan’s proxy war. Pakistan dances according to their plans. It could perhaps be put this way: “This is a proxy war being waged by CIA forces, or a proxy war being waged by CCP forces. Pakistan is merely executing this proxy war from the front lines, for their sake as well as for its own motives.”
Those standing behind are not easily visible. Without the backing of America and China, the Pakistanis have neither the courage nor the independent strength. The creation of internal enemies within India is also happening through global big powers. This is a massive strategic mischief involving several major powers—the big game of the big powers.
What should India do now? India needs to implement a comprehensive plan to confront and defeat all its external and internal enemies. Any war plan must be tailored to the advantage of those who wage it. Our preparation must be absolute. We must factor in the enemies’ weak moments and helpless situations. Alternatively, we must create such tight, critical situations for them and then wage war. Breaking Pakistan into several pieces is indispensable for India’s very existence. In this direction, there lies a monumental challenge of tying down China and America to ensure they remain neutral.
