WhatsApp privacy policy case is among a string of matters involving practices like restrictive platform rules, pricing & billing policies, reflecting India’s tight scrutiny of market dominance.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
This is a silly article.
Indeed it is possible to “rear snakes in the front yard” that will only bite the neighbor. Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Toiba are totally peaceful within pakistan and only promote terrorism in kashmir and India, providing non state assets/useful recruits without involving overtly the pak army, etc.
Use of “snake” as a metaphor reminds me of an age-old Hindi phrase: “Aasteen ka saamp”. Aasteen means the sleeve of a shirt, saamp means a snake. Apparently in olden times, kings and powerful people used to keep a small, poisonous snake wrapped on their wrist, hidden underneath the sleeve. When they shook hands with an adversary whom they wanted to kill, the snake would bite that person. Now don’t ask me how they told or conveyed to the snake to act. But the point is, in some foul mood, the snake bit the owner himself! Because a snake has a snake’s mind, its logic and reasoning are its own!
Terrorists are patronised by Pakistan in the manner of those snakes. So many times they have “bitten” Pakistan itself, but that country just refuses to learn.
Pakistan’s constitution clearly says it is Islamic Republic. They’re fully under control of mullahs and Islamic fundamentalists. Any attempt to mix religion in our government will turn India into different nation which may not be good for our country. So we not need to guard ourselves against rougue country also religious hot heads within as well.
Pakistan’s infirmities and proclivities are well known. The only question is whether we are doing ourselves a favour by shutting down any form of dialogue. Prince MbS’s visit to Pakistan, with a large portfolio of investments, is the latest reminder that Pakistan is nowhere being isolated.
