THAT PRECISE MOMENT (MUHURTA)

The editorial written by Parampoojya Aniruddha Bapu (Dr. Aniruddha D. Joshi) for the ‘Dainik Pratyaksha’ issue dated December 23, 2008.



'Har Har Mahadev' we proclaimed and set about our 'satyagraha committed to
co-operation'.
Heartiest congratulations to all the men-women-children who did the
purushartha by observing all or even some of its points upto the 14th of December.
We talked about the answer to the question 'What next?' then; and that is
what we are going to do this moment again.
Pakistan has a democratically elected government. The co-operation shared by
Mr. Zardari's party operating in the name of Mrs. Benazir Bhutto's name and Mr.
Nawaz Sherif's party, is what the existence of this government solely depends upon.
Moreover, Mr. Zardari has neither the required political maturity nor a profound
study of the circumstances and more importantly nor even the tact to win over a
solid popular backing. Mr. Nawaz Sherif on the other hand, has extensive experience
apart from the advantage of commendable relations with leaders of other nations.
The way Mr. Nawaz Sherif puts these aspects to use, will decide the course of many
events to come. Also I.S.I. the secret organization of Pakistan and some military
officers of Pakistan will go to any extent to grab power and take full control; and for
the purpose, what they need is a situation that will necessarily result in war.
If, yielding to international pressure, the democratic government of Pakistan
decides to co-operate with India, not only will the war be averted but all potential
causes of war too will be rendered ineffective, which fact the I.S.I. is fully aware of.
Besides, what the I.S.I. knows better than any other body is that India is not in the
least an aggressive, war-hungry or an imperialist nation.
....Should such a situation arise, the democratic government will gain steady
ground in Pakistan - another fact that the I.S.I. and the opportunist military officers
see clearly; which is precisely why they are going all out to impede co-operation
between India and the government of Pakistan. The results of these efforts on their
part are now beginning to bear fruit.
Now, bogged down under pressure both from the I.S.I. and the popular trend
of thought, the government of Pakistan is now forced to retract even the so-called
anti-terrorist measures taken. Actually speaking, the popular trend of thought is in
no way spontaneous, it has been rigged by the I.S.I. The mass media of Pakistan too,
for different reasons, are engaged in making allegations against India. Despite the
existent democratic system, they too have sold off their positive approach along
with the freedom of press.
So then, the war is now more or less inevitable.
The Indian politicians and the Indian government have, exhibiting abundant
tolerance, restraint and political maturity, carefully taken every measure to avert war.
It is however, more than obvious that India is not going to get any co-operative
response whatsoever from Pakistan. Therefore all that remains now, is to arrive at a
specific moment for an attack, based on the talks and recommendations with
international friends.
With the attack on Mumbai, Pakistan's undeclared war against India cooking
for years now, culminates into an outright and open war.
It is indeed imperitive for India to take stringent steps because if India adopts
a linient or indulgent policy, the I.S.I. could bring about terrorist attacks in many
Indian cities and that it will surely end up doing. The destruction in that case would
be even more horrific and so not withstanding the consequences of war, it would
indeed be advisable for India to go to war.
Once the war begins, the strategies and plans could keep changing every
moment and along with them, the situation inside of the country and outside of it.
My dear sons of India-our motherland, in the articles that follow, we will talk
about the international trend of thought, study the situation within the country in
the event of war and also discuss the measures to be taken in the event.
*(Friends, why is the Indian government dillydallying the launch of war? or
why is it resorting to a policy of unwarranted restraint in the matter? would be
questions that come up for many.
But that is really not the case! Not at all! As a matter of fact, India and all other
thoughtful international bodies are well aware that if such a war happens, it is going
to be the first ever war on earth between two nations possessing nuclear weapons.
This fact calls for appropriate and bilateral caution and care regarding 'nuclear arms'
at every step. And the point is, the Indian government is putting the available time to
this prudent use.)
