Akhand Bharat and Pakistani People

Here is the question for all those who believe in the dream of Akhand Bharat : after realizing the dream will you want to integrate at least 20 crores hostile population that have been hating you when you were living in Khandit Bharat?  I don't think we are insane enough to think that after defeating that country we'll get around 20 crore slaves on our disposal and we'll make them work whatever we want. Almost every person among us with some common sense believes that after the realization of any such dream probably we'll also have a responsibility to make those people part of our democratic system we are so proud of.

If you think that is what you are going to do. Then probably it is as important to defeat an army of the enemy country as  to win hearts of that country's people.This will not only strengthen your position but also weaken that of our adversary.
Our mighty army is capable of defeating the army of any enemy country. In fact, ours is the army that is focused on solely that task. unlike ours ,  the army we are dealing with has not only to attempt to win a war but also make efforts to justify the war. Their justification of war has a strong basis in convincing their people that those living at another side of the border are their enemies who think bad about them , hate them , dont accept their existence , always try to insult them and attempt to break their country. Till that army is able to build up this narrative it'll feel stronger. But like we cut food supply line to weaken an army we also need to cut supply line of this impression that army is trying to create on its people. This will probably weaken their situation in time like this when war is looming and they are trying to find support in same in which cutting food supply would weaken then in time of actual war.

On contrary, any initiative of ours that bolsters this position of enemy army actually makes that army stronger and we loose on an important weapon that is at our disposal to use against them. If we keep propagating hatred and negative agenda against people of the country which we think is our enemy country then they'll never question their own institutions working against us.We may probably lose a chance of creating a class of people within that society that actually hates its own establishments in those establishments' vile attempts.
Not only does our enemy wants support for justification for continued rivalry against us it also wants funds to continue that. just think about this. How can they justify to their public purchase of multiple F-16s ? Nepal doesn;t want that , Pakistan does. That is  why Pakistani establishment wants this environment of fear to prevail in their country.
IF there are people to people contact between India and Pakistan we should probably make it more favorable for us so that our enemies realize that they should stop it. For example if Pakistani artists are working here in India instead of sending them back we may make more strict rules on their entry so that whole situation is in our favor and either they leave from their own wish or Pakistani government start feeling a danger in situation that it is going to have a bunch of India supporters in its own society.

The Colour Is Actually Red


सावधान कुछ देर नहीं है लाल सवेरा आने में .
लाल भवानी प्रकट हुई है 'जे एन यु के तहखाने में' ..

(sorry baba Nagarjun I really respect you. I am changing your words a little because world has changed and Telangana is now actually ruled by supporter of a slightly different  colour : saffron. So no hope of Lal Bhawani there at least for few more years).

To me it is an achievement of government (BJP , RSS etc if you mean them by government) that they can make a person of  left ideology to talk about being within limits of constitution and  salute bravery and martyrdom of our soldier on border. Its  good to see explicit expression of faith in Indian constitution by someone associated with an ideology that only vaguely expresses its views on a national constitution. Also good to see a socialist (maybe marxist) addressing  mob of intellectuals holding flag of nation.
It is  not very common scenario I heard of happening in an assembly organized by a left leader. But you can feel frustration when you see word 'socialism' being stressed and compare it with reality : capitalism everywhere. Whether capitalism is good or bad is not a topic here though. you can get more about that 150 years old question at many other places.
If you think of a fund raising program to support China during indo-china war or celebrating death of policemen while fighting maoist then those are the kind of noble causes you can associate lefts with.
Yes of course there are shades of red and some of them are darker than others but they are all product of same failed unrealistic dream.
Why is 'revolution' main theme of talks among leftists ?
Do we really always need a revolution in our society ? There comes a time when there is chaos , depravity , unease and uncertainty in society. You might not have a big common goal but you might have hundreds of small tasks to perform. Your solutions are not same in both scenarios. This situation is not very healthy for some people. This is a challenge for people trying to grab power. They can not project a big monster to fight for before masses to mobilize them. So how can they get such monster that can serve their purpose ? Manufacture one.
Left , right , middle , side, corner ,all wings have their own manufactured monster to project before nation. Idea of revolution is that of  a left party.
But our problem always is not how to change the system and replace it with new one. sometimes to solve your problems you might not need  a giant step. you might need plenty of small steps to solve all your small problems to make a stable , functioning and prosper society. But that is an irritating , lengthy , boring and not so rewarding task. But that is not what demands revolution . Revolution advocated by lefts means a sudden overall change. replace old guard with new for no apparent reason and do things at whim on name of liberation, equality and welfare of sarwhara.

Is that the situation in india now ? It was before 1947. you had a common cause of getting freedom. you needed a revolution to change the system. But  you got your freedom now.
Nation achieved what it needed. Several ideologies didn't. Socialism was one of them. There are others too and we can come up with similar analysis for them too but today I am talking about shades of red.
It is not very difficult to appeal to the emotions of people on name of hardship they are facing in a developing society and associate them with functioning of  system governing them. Of course the system which is responsible for solving their problem can not just catapult them from state A to state B , from poverty  to prosperity without them feeling that it is happening. We have to be in transition phase and it is not very uncommon to doubt functioning of system when we are in transition. How can we be sure that at the end we ll reach where we have to and not somewhere else. It is also very easy to appeal this uneasiness and mood of frustration and exploit it. However  this is the bread  and butter of politicians in general in a developing society. While some take this opportunity to keep things on track others advocate a revolution in one form or other. Actually they need revolution more than the nation needs. In fact nation and society will do very well if solution of small problems are presented. We don't always sell our farmland if crop in a season is not good. we just come up with ways like making our land more fertile and hope for a good season.
Our country is in that state now. When we are told about a problem in country our first approach should not be to change our system and we must be beware of any such attempts by others.
