TRUE INTEGRATION OF KASHMIR

 See,through revocation of article 370,government achieved constitutional integration of J&K but the emotional integration of Kashmir is still prevalent with idea and concept of India.If the government wishes true integration of Kashmir with Indian Union than it needs to reflect on its current strategy and it needs to focus on winning the hearts and minds of ordinary Kashmiris and it can do that by revisiting the past and drawing lessons from them.

See,during Operation Gulmarg 1947,which was code name given by Pakistani Army in an attempt of pushing tribal militia into Kashmir with the support of Pakistan Army,in order to topple the Raja Hari Singh government.See,After the Indian independence act was passed the Indian & Pakistani dominion was setup and princely states were given option of choosing either of the dominion or remain independent but the then monarch of J&K princely state Hari Singh chose to remain independent and with intention of toppling the government and taking over J&k region,Pakistan sponsored the infiltration of tribal militia with the support of Pakistani Army and this pushed Hari Singh to sign instrument of accession with India and integrate J&k in Indian Union and this became trigger of 1947 conflict.So,during this invasion by Pakistani forces and tribal militias local Kashmiri offered resistance until arrival of Indian Armed forces and this highlighted the faith of ordinary Kashmiris in the concept and idea of India.It highlighted their belief in secular and diverse India.

 Then Operation Gibraltar 1965,which was code name given by Pakistani Army for pushing infiltrator into Kashmir valley in order to trigger uprising in Kashmir Valley in order to topple the Indian government.So,the alert Kashmiri youths alerted the Indian Army in time about the infiltrator even at the great risk of their life and safety.It was this early intelligence provided by local Kashmiris helped the Indian Armed forces to tackle the Pakistani threat and this is how operation Gibraltar of Pakistan eventually lead to conflict of 1965 war.

During 1947 war Indian Army managed to push back Pakistani forces and managed to retake large part of J&k and in order to resolve the conflict,India took the matter to UN and through this mediation a ceasefire agreement was worked out and the UN mandated both India and Pakistan to hold a plebiscite in order to allow the people of J&k to decide whether they want to join Pakistan,India or remain independent.Even though a ceasefire line was drawn up as mandated by UN,both countries failed to hold the plebiscite and blame for this lies with Pakistan because Pakistan started to altering the demography of Kashmir region in order to ensure if plebiscite ever happened elections would swing in favor of Pakistan.

See,for complete integration of Kashmir ,government has taken certain measures which will give the fruits after certain period of time.The revocation of article 370 will create lot of opportunity for the people of J&k but also for the people of ladakh as well.Now,the government is focusing on Kashmir's agriculture and is looking to promote interest of Kashmir's farmers by focusing on key crops such as Apple,Walnuts,Saffrons etc.The center is planning to give greater push to National Saffron mission which is a key spice which fetches a very high price both in Indian market as well as in International market and its value in international market has gone up after acquiring GI tag.The revocation of article 370 has completely helped to integrate Kashmir's Panchayat Raj institution with grass root democracy.The government is planning to come up with two AIIMS and 5 medical colleges.These steps will completely integrate Kashmir and their youths not only constitutionally but also emotionally as well.                

MAUTAM AND MIZO INSURGENCY

 Mautam is a vary pessimistic word and using this as my title of the blog is very unfortunate for me as well.See,for the insurgency is Mizoram the primary cause can be attributed to "MAUTAM" and government failure in handling the North Eastern areas.See,Mautam is nothing but a cyclic ecological phenomenon which occurs once in nearly 50 years and it basically refers to simultaneous flowering of Bamboo.

So the question here is how come flowering of bamboo attributed to Mautam. See,the answer is very simple Mizo insurgency is rooted in the famine which they witnessed in the year 1959-60.So,the abundance of the bamboo flower produce huge quantity of seed which falls to the ground and becomes rapidly available as food for rodents such as rats.So the abundant availability of bamboo seeds in the ground resulted in an explosion of rat population and once these rats completely consume these seeds they turn their attention to agriculture crops which resulted  in occurrence of famine condition and severe shortage of food.

this cycological  ecological phenomenon known as "Mautam" is seen in Mizoram,Manipur,and parts of Myanmar.So,this severe famine seen in Mizoram in late 1959 and early 1960 lead to severe shortage of food and number of death ,the local Mizo tribe was severely affected and they blame government neglect for this.So,this lead the mizos to hold the dissatisfaction against the government of India and local administration and thus laying the foundation of Mizo National Front(MNF) which took up the armed insurgency against the government of India.

This violent insurgency movement was a separatist movement which was seeking to liberate Mizoram from Indian Union and it remained active for nearly two decade.Finally in 1986,through effective center insurgency operation and through negotiations,the MNF was brought to negotiation table by government of India and historic Mizo peace accord was signed which today has brought MNF to mainstream politics.Infact Mizoram happens to be first state in North East India where insurgency was brought to an end back in 1980's.Back then the MNF was sponsored by China as well as Pakistan by making safe heaven which was established in East Pakistan. .  

RADICALIZATION AND PAKISTAN

See,Pakistan has deliberately promoted radicalism and terrorism in its country as well as neighborhood as part of state policy.They embraced radicalism and terrorism as state policy in order to wage a proxy war against its enemy.Pakistan has supported radicalism of their country and nurtured so many terrorists in order to achieve its geopolitical goals.

It can be dated back immediately after 1947,Pakistan supported tribal militias in order to occupy parts in J&K as part of first proxy war against India.Than in 1960,Pakistan is known to be supported lot of India based outfits such as naxal,north east insurgents etc.

But,Pakistan first major entry in religion based proxy war was in Afghanistan in 1980.This was the period of cold war(bilateral world).This was the time when Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan and occupied it.Since,this was the cold war era,USA decided to make use of this opportunity and in collaboration with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan,they created Mujaheddin,in order to challenge Soviet invasion.In this proxy war with USA,Pakistan played a key role,while money and weapon were coming from USA and Saudi Arabia.It was Pakistan which played a key role in training and arming the afghan Mujaheddin as a form of resistance against Soviet Union.

During this period Pakistan emerged as a key ally of major countries and started receiving huge sums of money as funding as well large supply of weapon.So,they started diverting part of money to wage a religion based proxy war against India by establishing lot of anti India terror outfit.Initially Pakistan experimented with supporting Khalistan movement.Later Pakistan Army and ISI played a key role in insurgency in Kashmir by establishing lot of Anti India terror outfit such as JEM,LET,HM.In order to create ready pool of recruitment for these terror outfit,Pakistan government deliberately supported the radicalization of its own society.

So,from 1970 till date,the support given by their government to radicalism has ended up in creating deep divide in their society.This has lead to rise of radical form of Islam,such as Salafism and Wahabism  and this has ended in affecting the minority community of Pakistan.This has lead to ethnic persecution in their own country such as Ahmadias,Sufis,Hazaras. 

Over the year Pakistan dependency on proxy war as its state policy and deliberately misinterpretation

of religion,in order to promote radicalization has ended up giving birth to number of terror outfit that are today targeting Pakistan state itself.

This has lead Pakistan to distinct between good terrorism and bad terrorism,the LET,HM,Haqqani network ,Taliban are considered by them as good terrorism as they have pushed them to achieve their geopolitical goals.The Taliban has made Pakistan relevant in Afghanistan and global Geo politics.So,for this reason Pakistan has not only tolerated them but also nurtured them.

\The flawed and dangerous strategy of Pakistan has also given birth to other terror outfit such as TTP(Tahreeke Taliban Pakistan) and considered by them as bad terrorism because the government has no longer been able to control them and they repeatedly target the Pakistan army ,government and minority.
