The nation stands on the precipice of an uproar, fueled by fiery speeches from our netas and exacerbated by relentless media coverage. The experts find themselves cornered, forced to align with the anchor’s version of military strategies. The atmosphere is thick with anxiety as citizens brace for severe military retaliation in response to the Pahalgam massacre. However, seasoned analysts of global affairs see through the fog of hysteria and recognise a sinister international conspiracy aimed at hindering Bharat’s rapid strides in economic, industrial, and military domains.
In the East, Bangladesh has been stirred into action, while Pakistan in the West has been revived with financial aid to salvage its plummeting economy. This aid aims to distract Pakistan’s ‘awam’ from their dire circumstances by provoking Bharat. Our leaders must tread carefully, avoiding the pitfall of hasty decisions. Flexing military might to intimidate Pakistan could inadvertently trigger a civil war or fragment the nation into splintered regions.
China’s alliance with Pakistan is driven by its ambition to advance the Belt and Road project and secure access to the Arabian Sea. China’s modernised iteration of the ancient Silk Route is of paramount importance to them. To prevent China’s involvement in this conflict, we must reassure them that the B&R project will remain unharmed even if Pakistan faces fragmentation.
Rather than responding predictably as vested interests anticipate, let us astonish them by directing our focus eastward. The eastern regions are fraught with instability, posing threats of insurgencies. Let our strategic maneuvers transform the vulnerable chicken’s necks into formidable elephant necks. By soaring our balloon towards the East, we can navigate the tumultuous waters and safeguard our nation’s progress.
