In a rare move, the Pakistani Army Official spokesperson conveyed the utter dismay and serious concern of the Pakistani army top brass over the involvement of Indian spy agencies in destabilizing Pakistan on multifarious fronts. Although such talks are very much part of the drawing room gossips all around Pakistan, but the official confirmation and displeasure shown indicates a shift in the Pakistani defense policy towards the particular issue. With the Afghan endgame from the US perspective and the success of Pakistani Military in curbing home grown terror networks funded by the so called Indian cultural centers strategically located all along the Pakistan Afghanistan border inside Afghanistan, the shift in balance of power on the ground is expected to tilt in favour of the Pakistan Military. USA is handing over combat equipment worth in billion of dollars used in Afghanistan to the Pakistani Military in recognition of the said tilt in the balance of power. Indians irrespective of spending billions of dollars in funding the clandestine operations against the Pakistani interests through Pakistani Taliban from Afghanistan have failed to gain the US confidence as a potent player who could handle the region. The Chinese vote of confidence on the other hand is naturally inclined towards Pakistan.
The next move on the Indian cards is to somehow circumvent Pakistan in reaching Afghanistan and further beyond to Central Asia. With this gimmick in mind, the Indians are planning to invest in the Iranian port of Chabahar, which provides then a land route to Afghanistan circumventing Pakistan much to the Indian relief, however at the cost of much more economical direct land route from Pakistan. Ironically, the Indians have no one but themselves to blame for this logistical encumbrance they brought upon themselves. The Indian dreams of a regional hegemonic status is driving their desire to challenge the logistical ground realities and compete directly with the Chinese investments in the Pakistani port of Gawader and the Chinese-Pakistani Economic Corridor which pains India to the extreme. The Chinese direct investments of 46 billion US dollars not only revives the ailing, war torn Pakistani economy, but also put the country rite back on the economic map of the Asia Pacific. The Indians investments to destabilize Pakistan thus yet again failed to bear fruit, much to the dismay of the Indian spy agency RAW(Research and Analysis Wing).
The Indian desperate initiatives to circumvent Pakistan through the Persian route is not only unnatural but if materialized, will ultimately benefit the Chinese designs of the revival of the "New Silk Route". On the other hand if Pakistan can give the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia a rebuke by not sending the Pakistani troops for the war at Yemen, irrespective of extreme and unprecedented Arabian pressure, Pakistanis can very well put some sense into the Iranians if they decide to go against the natural alliance it has with the Pakistanis. Pakistani state is better off neglecting the porous borders with Iran infested with international narcotics smugglers and happy letting Iran handle that mess for them. Pakistani conscious support or lack of it is a detrimental factor for Iran in its sectarian war in middle east at the same time. For now, Pakistan is holding loads lot of Arabian funded sectarian trouble not allowed to be flown into Iran for there exists a strong desire within Pakistan to maintain its natural alliance with Iran. It won't be possible for the Pakistanis to do the same if the Indo-Persian alliance threatens the Pakistani strategic interests.
Both India and Iran aspires for regional hegemony which is evident from their respective strategic maneuvers in the region. Pakistan on the other hand, rite in their middle only wants to concentrate on self development and strengthening her domestic potency while its geography presents a strategic gift of regional influence. The Chinese are putting all their bets on Pakistan by investing in the Pakistani economy and infrastructure for their own benefit, becoming a direct stake holder in the security and stability of Pakistan. The Chinese are out there flexing their muscles for the first time in the Asia Pacific region and will do everything in their power to secure their interests. Pakistanis are all out to facilitate China in this regard while the Pakistani economy will flourish as a result.
Indians under Modi regime are trying to reinvent the wheel after loosing billions and more of Indian tax payer's money put out to engulf Pakistani state in a fire which was designed to destroy it, However, the Pakistanis proved resilient enough not only to sustain the Indian fueled fire but also fight it ferociously telling the Indians now directly to their face, either to back off or face the blow back.

Good job dear nephew...thinking minds must keep giving input irrespective of govt or army's stance on issues. There are plenty of aspiring writers who tow the line of establishment the moment the word is out about an issue. Being a thinking mind, aspiring intellectual and blossoming writer, it is suggested to remain creative rather than striving for relevance. You are otherwise my loving nephew :)
ReplyDeleteThanks my dear uncle :)
