As everyone on social media has an opinion about the Uri attack in Kashmir which took close to a score of lives, I didn't want to be left behind. Yet again, for the umpteenth time it has been well planned, strategized and executed to precision by our belligerent Western neighbor.
Normally, India, a giant nation of multi trillion dollar economy, is expected to make the Pakistan pee in its pants. Yet India seems to possess the weaker bladder, with a proven ability of not doing enough?
A few months ago on Arnab's panel on Times Now Channel, a Paki guy was boasting "Our ISI is far superior to your RAW, you can't do anything more than shouting". He had a point. Pakistan perceives India as a soft and not so swift a state. It can't retaliate beyond token official condemnations and cancellation of cricket matches, its economy and nuclear capability not withstanding.
This is not an unstoppable, lone wolf attack on an isolated civilian target. This an attack on an Army Brigade near the border in a volatile state riddled with insurgency. Such an attack of such audacity can't happen without some sort of local support or inside mole.
Agencies did not rule out the terror masterminds getting help from a 'mole'. "The terrorists were aware of the camp's layout and knew their way around. They had possibly identified the stretches where the fence was not properly manned and accordingly found a safe spot to cut the perimeter wire," an officer said.
With such friends who needs an enemy. I read somewhere that many army men from the camp go out in mass early in the morning for defecating in the open fields in the vicinity of their camp. Glad the terrorists didn't chose them as sitting ducks, at a time these Army men are not expected to carry guns with them. Not sure, what prevents our military folks not having toilets to relieve themselves in privacy, to weather the weather as well as terror.
Pakistan perceives India as week for more than a quarter of century. It's high time we go above and beyond mere condemnation. Only reaction so far has been condemnation and more condemnations. Hopefully we will see some spine in the near future.
In such a case, Pakistan may not have to have to fire a single bullet. It has to tell its guest of honor for decades, Dawood to reveal 10 names of top Indian public figures whom he has in his pocket. I am sure Dawood's pocket dwellers licking his balls can embarass the NDA government in power. Such blackmailing can yield fantastic results, as as these attacks, while the pernicious Pakis will be having the last laugh.
In the less likely scenario of India making some surgical strikes, Uncle Sam will step in. John Kerry will arrive in Delhi with a few Doles and pacify the hosts not to escalate any futher - not to forget before going back to Washington he will molly coddle the Pakistanis by saying how valuable assets are they in the battle against terror.
The more likely scenario - As the festive season approaches and Dengue fades away from Delhi, the well ensconced Lutyen class will get busy as usual. The lower class preoccupied with its ROZI ROTI (where the next bread will come from) will move on with life.
It's only the Indian middle class who are agitated. But they have a notoriously short memory, their attention span too small. No sooner the next Cricket SHRUNKHALA (series) starts in a few days and the next KHAN movie releases, all will be a thing of the past - Until our recalcitrant neighbor choses the time and place of the next terror strike.
