Operation Sindoor & operative action
By – Pamarty Venkataramana
Emperor Ashoka had sent best of his army generals turning them into monks, to become emissaries of peace across the the globe.
He had a change of heart after his confrontation with Princess Padmini of Kalinga : he was aghast at having to confront a lady on the battlefield ( it against ethical warfare of those days to raise arms against a woman). On being asked, she informed him that all men in the land were slayed by his army leaving her to take up arms for defence of her motherland.
The astonished Ashoka had his moment of self-realisation and realised that non-violence and peace were more important decorations of life than military conquests. Ending the war, he goaded his forces and subjects to embrace Buddhism,en masse.
This may be said to be a watershed in the history of Bharativarsh as brave soldiers turned monks,people became subjugated to a philosophy of ‘silence amidst crises’ as it were and the mighty Indian sub-continent was left defenseless when barbaric hordes called Moghuls came invading. Left defenseless and fighting class of warriors having been brainwashed into going around with a bowl seeking alms instead of gaining mastery in archery amd fighting skills as their forefathers of Raghuvamsh and SriKrishna era, the entire land of wisdom and valour turned into an ‘open for all’ land. History is a witness to those incidents and events of course.
Then begun a saga of servitude and docile attitude which got permeated into slavery under ‘reign of gunpowder’ by bucaneer East India Company.
Of course, in contemporary times,this has got translated into flight out of India with lure of the green American dollar bills.
Not very long ago,we had then Prime Minister of India,the sagacious ‘father of modern economic reforms’, the reticent Narasimha Rao who had despatched the leader of Opposition in the Parliament,A.B.Vajpayee to speak for India at the United Nations General Assembly.
Today, after the wonderful success story of #OperationSindoor Indian leadership is learnt to have hit upon the brainwave of sending teams of prominent members of Parliament across political lines to visit different countries and disseminate the root cause for the swift action and apprise them about achievements of this military exercise against terrorists holed up in backyard of our border States.
But, is this the time for such a diplomatic tour?
At a time when the United Nations Organisation has become a muted voice and in this age of ultra-speed communications networks worldwide, is it wise to embark on this plan?
Before proceeding further,one would say that it is of paramount importance to include one defence attache with every such delegation of politicians.
Why?
Largely to ensure that right and appropriate information is shared with the host country. None can go overboard then. Not a word more,not a word less than is required to be uttered. Period.
Not to forget the fact that barring one or two,none among the comity of nations stood up for our nation although a couple of lands openly declared their allegiance to our enemy land.
It is against this backdrop and having regard to the fact that our chest-thumping tolis and groups of eager-beaver analysts,common tubers and bow bow panelists on the idiot-box channels have disseminated technical prowess of our country which has now become an open-source information to all amd sundry,world-wide.
It will be unwise to send Mr.AO to Saudia and Gulf countries or Mr.RG to Columbia or Mr.ST to France.
Let the delegates be hand picked by NSA or CDS and approved by Her Excellency Rashtrapati Smt.Murmu.
Being battle-ready or victorious in #OperationSindoor is a creditable attainment whose gains ought not to be spilled over by loose-canon politicians or one’s with history of known mischievous intent and recorded vitriolic rhetoric.
It is now pertinent to also analyse the weapons utilized by invaders to overpower this land of peace and hospitality.
How did the Moghuls maintain control over the vassal States? By forcing the elder daughters of vassals to hands of Zananas and by holding the crown prince as a hostage in royal court. Thus, the ‘loyalty’ was derived by instilling fear in their family.
Does that trend continue to this day and age of political evolution in our society?
It has emerged from Zananas but it exists today or so one is prone to believe. It certainly plays havoc in today’s geopolitics.
Infer what you want my deshwasiyon!
A certain class of the moles inimical to our national interests could be among the following specific categories –
One, Indians studying or employed overseas.
Two,children of diplomats,ex-servicemen and of political leaders,largely residing in the western hemisphere,
Three,children of bureaucrats getting placed in Ivy League Schools or holding jobs with pivotal global bodies.
If at all we wish to give a secured life in a secure society for a secured future to our future generations, we ought to address these points which scream at the discerning mind of every patriotic Indian.
Let Narendra Modi not be on the same page as Ashoka,that conqueror turned monk. Our Prime Minister is a monk with heart of a democrat and mind of dictator – the right DNA to take Bharatvarsh ahead as a Viswaguru.
However, be ware the advantages of success of #OperationSindoor ought not to gobawry in quest for marketing our superior military arsenal. More than profits, PEACE is essential for improving quality of life of all citizens.
Wake up,India. Jai Hind! Vande Mataram!!
