China, Pakistan: What A Neighborhood!

I just read that Sarabjit Singh has succumbed to injuries sustained in the beating he took in the prison. Well, Pakistanis have shown us the right way. Imagine. Of course when it comes to killing, Pakistanis can teach anyone a few tricks. Now if we had done the same to Mushtaq Ahmed Zargar, Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh and Maulana Masood Azhar and did what was done to Sarabjit in their jail, then we would not have had the Kandahar hijacking, BJP government’s weakness would not have been exposed, Daniel Pearl would still be alive. Since any Pakistani in India is a potential terrorist or a spy, we should arrest then and solve the problem in pakistani style. And why not? Pakis love to live by the sword or should I say Saif ul Islam. Let them die by it as well.

However knowing the brave leaders we have elected especially the current PM, NOTHING will happen. It falls on us, the aam aadmi. We need to be aware of the paki bastardry and boycott everything and everyone coming from that shithole of a nation. However, I have some good news on that account. No matter what we do to them will always pale in comparison to what the pakis are doing to themselves. Arsla Jawaid writes the following:

According to estimates from the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, close to 2,284 people were killed in violent attacks in Karachi in 2012. By some media estimates, targeted killings and a string of deadly bomb blasts cost the lives of 500 people in 72 days of this year alone. Victims range from civilians to policemen, the paramilitary Rangers to development workers, journalists to lawyers.

Considering that it was just one part of Pakistan, it is a pretty impressive kill rate. Read the following from the same article:

In one of the most recent cases of violence, unidentified assassins shot a prominent Karachi social worker, Parveen Rehman, inside her car at a traffic intersection. Rehman was the director of the Orangi Pilot Project, and dedicated her life to working for the vulnerable and disadvantaged in Karachi's Orangi slum. While no particular group has claimed responsibility, suspicion has fallen on Karachi's ruthless land mafia, against whom she remained a vocal critic. Shortly after her death, students and media outlets paid homage to the courageous worker, hailing her as the "Mother of Karachi."

How many of you think that the aforementioned land mafia is unconnected to Dawood Ibrahim? After all he is the biggest gangster/terrorist (a two for one combo) under the protection of paki authorities. Makes sense that he will have a finger in the land pie. If he is involved, then I say keep him. He can continue to screw up Karachi to his heart’s content. So you see, we just have to wait it out and pakis will certainly implode. It is a criminal enterprise, not a country.

We have a bigger problem with the snake-pit up north though. The Chinese have intruded on our land again. Our response: NOTHING. Again. This is becoming unbearable. The current brave leaders are not even willing to put up a token fight. After all this Salman “will not do a scam for Rs 71 lakh” Khurshid is still going to China. In fact if you look at it from the Chinese point of view, why not do it. If I were a Chinese general, I would continue to intrude and build roads, rails etc on Indian land and not worry about repercussions. After all, what the hell is the Indian government do except roll over and play dead.

Again, since the brave men and women we elect are not going to do anything other than twiddle their thumbs, we may as well take it upon ourselves. BOYCOTT EVERYTHING THAT SAYS – “MADE IN CHINA”. What else can the helpless Indian voter do?

However, once again, nature has a way of balancing things out. In a mad dash to get rich, the Chinese have raped their land. As bad as pollution is in India, it is China which is referred to as the sick man of Asia. The pollution problems of China are too many to mention. More than 80% of their water cannot be used for drinking. Cancer and renal failure are the leading cause of death. That should tell you something. This is nothing to celebrate because the Chinese are going to go to war with their eighteen neighbors for resources especially water. But that nation is paying for its sins.

Another sign of trouble in China is the latest aggression against India (and Japan to some extent over the Senkaku Islands). Whenever dictators are in trouble then foment problems on their borders to unify the country. The Chinese are facing daily problems in Xinqiang and Tibet from two different ethnic minorities. Then they are facing problems from their workers. As far as corruption is concerned, they will give us a tough fight any day. Meanwhile there was a change in leadership. The new leader Xi Jinping is trying to consolidate power by using the military and the saber rattling that comes with it. It is a valid fear, not only for us that he may have unleashed forces which he may not be able to contain. Japan and the US are equally interested parties for their own reasons. In a rather revealing article, the following was revealed:

To many observers, however, his speech seemed to confirm that China's provocations against Japan were in fact "evidence of profound domestic insecurity rather than rational policy,"

Then, too, there is the very real risk that if China or Japan miscalculates over the Senkaku Islands and actually does spark a war, China may lose. That, at least, is the assessment of several military analysts with whom I spoke, who believe Japan's disciplined, professional forces would prevail even without direct U.S. intervention. More broadly, I have heard growing doubts about China's actual fighting capabilities in some sections of the Chinese military, foreign diplomatic corps, and U.S. academia, many of whose members are revising their views on the PLA. "Our assessment is they are nowhere near as effective as they think they are," a Beijing-based defense attaché from a NATO country told me.

What if the recent drums of war are a sign of China's weakness and not its impressive new strength? "When Xi tells his troops to be ready for war, it's really an admission that they're in disarray," says the defense attaché.

What is clear is that China is not as strong as they would like us to believe. To deal with that kind of bluff, we need a strong leader as PM. Manmohan Singh is not that leader. We really do need to elect a real leader with enough majority in the Loksabha that real decisions, tactical and strategic can be made with only national interests as the driving force. That is the task before the Indian voters.
