When you scratch your neighbor's ass.....

Well .. since I want this post to be a "kick-ass" one, I am choosing to kick our own ass this time. Ahem ! ...today I will vent my views (read frustration) regarding the moronic and senseless Indo-Pak relationship and how much we have fucked ourselves because of it. To fast forward through the last 63 years of history, Pakistan was created along with India in 1947, geographically is next to India, has already fought two wars against India and is a real pain in everybody's ass (yeah..including its own !!). Well I am writing this post not to tell you people about what transpired between India and Pakistan in those sweet 63 years. All you guys know it and its very boring. Out of the blue, two things come to my mind right away.

1) Why is India not hanging Afzal Guru and Azmal Kasab immediately (If you are an Indian, above 18 years of age and don't know who he is, I suggest you pack your bags and go to Pakistan and get trained there .. yeah you deserve that) ??.

2) Why is India not using its air force to destroy the terrorist camps operating in POK (Pakistan occupied Kashmir) with immediate effect ??.

Now some social activists will say Kasab shouldn't be hanged and the law should take its course and blah blah blah. Well, I feel the course of law in our country is painfully slow and as far as Kasab is concerned, how about we fuck the law and just hang him. Well...you may argue that he is just one guy. Why should we as a "great" nation be so hell-bent on hanging him as that wouldn't obviously be a compensation for the lives lost in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. That is not the point as I sincerely feel we as a country lack the "intent" to send a strong message to the outside world that we mean business. Seems like all are welcome to screw us. Its like "We have the ability to tolerate so please screw us" . Honestly speaking, we dont just value our lives. We feel we are dispensable and cheap. Indians dying in terrorist attacks are normal. If they don't die, its boring and abnormal. I still remember, 1998, when The US embassy was bombed in Kenya and few American citizens died. In a matter of days US cruise missiles bombed militant targets in Afghanistan and Sudan. US now as you all know is battling militants in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and host of other covert operations in and the middle east (US is driven by selfishness also but...anyways). The point here is the show of "intent" by the US to aggressively protect its citizens from perceived threats and I strongly feel that India should also flex its muscle in this context.

Anyways, coming back to our story, I can understand why India protected its privates during the 1993-1996 period and acted like Pak's bitch. My crazy theory goes that our then handsome prime minister Mr.P.V Narsimha Rao got infatuated by the beauty of Benazir Bhutto (Pak's PM) and as a result couldn't discuss terrorism seriously with her. Whatever be the reason, Pak was screwing us (it still is) and as I always like to mention, we as a country enjoy being raped (I say in this case the rape is by consent). Kargil happened, then Kandahar happened, Parliament was attacked, trains were blown up in Mumbai, 26/11 followed and now my place, Pune, also suffered a terrorist attack (and our political leaders and the military are still recharging their balls). Where the hell is the intent to protect?? Well, I do follow a lot of strategic studies by scholars and I feel that India is outright scared. Its scared because it feels any military action on its part would lead to a full-fledged war and considering the fact that Pak has a low nuclear threshold, it could be a nuclear disaster.
But my dear Prime minister, let me remind you that POK is not PAK, you are still a male (don't consider me a male chauvinist here..its just a fact I am stating....btw...I feel Indira Gandhi had more testosterone than any male PMs India has had ;)), and India can and in my opinion should blast the terrorist camps operating there. India needn't bow to the hypocritical US pressure every time and retreat back to its cave and wait for another terror attack , come out of the cave, roar and again go back inside (and this cycle repeats all the time as you know). I keep getting reminded of a statement by my friend who says that "How can a nation, whose father is Gandhi and whose mother is a cow (we worship cows as our mothers remember...?) ever show aggressive intent??". In reality Pak can never afford a full scale war with India (especially a conventional one). You can Google about the relative military and nuclear strengths and can see why this is so. India is just getting nuclear blackmailed by Pak and nothing else. Its an insult to the soldiers who laid their lives trying to battle against terrorists, when we act like pussies and do nothing. The leadership in both the countries have discussed this issue innumerable times in the past but nothing just seems to be working out. Every time the countries talk, there is a terrorist attack or a breach of trust by Pakistan and we just accept it (I told you we are good whores). The recent Indo-Pak dialogue few days back was nothing short of a circus where the two countries acted like ex lovers. Nothing came out of it, but they committed to stay in "touch" (cant get funnier than this). I dont know about India but Pak is touching all the wrong private areas of our country and should be dealt with a Iron hand (for smarter people...please read this as "Iron rod" and hopefully you know what I mean).

India, unfortunately is surrounded by troublesome countries. Sri Lanka has LTTE, Pakistan is a rogue, China is hostile and unfriendly, Bangladesh also has militancy and then there is the immigration problem. Myanmar(Burma) is eternally fucked. Sounds very depressing. But I hope and have the confidence that India has the wherewithal to rise above all these issues and become a superpower in the true sense in the future.

But in order to do that, It should start to feel like one and certainly act like one. Finally as you all are aware that when there is a itch, it shouldn't be scratched. That would only make it worse and it would itch even more.

So the punchline of this entire post is - "We shouldn't be scratching our neighbor's ass when it itches, instead we should be spanking it...really hard..."
