This is the second major ceasefire violation along the international border this month and comes despite the recent agreement between the DGMOs to implement the 2003 ceasefire in 'letter and spirit'.
On the ground, there is no commonly-agreed rule among the Indian and Pakistani armies and the BSF and Pakistan Rangers for counting ceasefire violations.
Indians see West Asia as one uninterrupted wash of Islam, but the reality is more complex. For the Druze, support from Israel—where they are a recognised minority—is now critical.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
My tears have stopped flowing for Kashmir. Now, after a decade, ethnic violence has made a comeback in Assam. Punjab, saved for India at such high human cost, is feeling tremors after a generation. India is not a placid, settled land. The tectonic plates on which our nationhood rests are still moving. It required vision, statesmanship, a Nehruvian view of the world to hold it all together. If, instead, we begin to stir the pot, light small fires, no one can predict how it will all end.
Mr Modi came with an image of being heavily anti-Muslim, rightly or wrongly because of Gujarat, and he did nothing to correct that perception. As an individual he was not obliged to, but as the prime minister of a secular country, he was expected to. That is at the bottom of increase in Entropy or restlessness in Kashmir. It may be his arrogance, or lack of imagination or both, the truth of the matter is that he has not the foggiest idea of how to go about the problem of Kashmir. Kashmiri people are weak, Pakistan is weak, Modi is in a strong position, but instead of stepping forward like a strong man and calling out to weak people to pep them up and encourage and assuage them and create an atmosphere for positive talks conducive for peace, he has disconnected his telephone lines and is hiding behind a strong army. Who will call him a strong leader? Or even a leader, to begin with, seeping his other haphazard actions?
This is a very detailed article and the author must be congratulated for it. It has all the rigors of academic research, with graphs etc, and perhaps is a part of her M.Phil thesis or something like that! But as for the Kashmir problem itself, I get an eerie feeling that it is only TWO STEPS away from spinning completely out of India’s control.
