In his post on Facebook, a friend, Ashish Seli, wrote: Operation Sindoor: It is not just another name for an armed operation. For the first time, India is avenging the sorrow of Hindu women who lost their “sindoor” to the Islamist barbarians. It’s a tiny effort by the government of India to reclaim their dignity. For the first time, Indians know that we will be avenged.
For too long, right from its birth, India has condoned repeated efforts by Pakistan to do incursions into our territory, grab it by design and deceit, forced us into wars and inflicted immense harm on us. We have always returned to the table for negotiations, ensuring long-term peace, for the prosperity of ourselves and our western neighbour. But we have failed to force it to change its ways despite granting too many concessions and being generous.
This generosity has always, and every time, been misinterpreted by Pakistan’s policy planners as timidity of Hindus. Let us go back in time to what was the first time India and Pakistan clashed over J&K in October 1947. The Indian government was then too busy trying to contain the aftermath of a communal division that Ali Mohamad Jinnah, goaded and secretly supported by the British, had forced upon Bharat. The so-called kabailiyis were Iashkars of Islamist radicals who targeted J&K, aided and abetted by Pakistan, created in the name of kalima. Pakistan has used and perfected the theory of “plausible deniability’’ and deployed it against India effectively at every turn. In the 1947 conflict, dozens of companies of these tribal lashkars were led by soldiers and officers of the Pakistan Army who used an unruly, rapacious mob (used as cannon fodder) of tribal Pathans.
The hardcore expansionist Islamist ideology that they pursued led to the butchering of thousands of Sikhs and Hindus as they marched from Muzaffarabad to Baramulla. The apologists of these rapacious bands say calling them Islamists is a fallacy. These murderous Afridis and others of their ilk were in fact secular people who were just pursuing Pakistan’s political ambitions. Let us accept this as gospel truth as they raped women of all denominations and faiths, be it Hindus or Sikhs, Christian nuns at Baramulla hospital or even beautiful Kashmir Muslim women, whether they were Shias or Sunnis.
TNT is Explosive
The fact of Pakistan being the second Islamist nation state, the first being the one founded by Prophet Mohammad 13-14 centuries ago, was explained well by Chief of Army Staff General Asim Munir in his speech made some days before the Baisaran (Pahalgam) massacre. In that incendiary anti-Hindu speech, General Asim also explained that the Two Nation Theory (TNT) was the basis of Pakistan’s foundational principle.
For good measure, he added that all Pakistanis should tell this story, the creation of a second Islamist state in the world, of Pakistan, to their children so that it is passed from generation to generation. He said, “Pakistan ki kahani apnay bachchon ko aapnay jarur sunani hai … taa ki woh Pakistan ki kahani naa bhoolein … our forefathers thought that we are different from Hindus in every possible aspect of life …. Our religion is different, our customs are different …. Our traditions are different …. Our thoughts are different …. Our ambitions are different …. That was the foundation of the two-nation theory that was laid there …. That we are two nations, not one nation.” TNT has proved to be highly inflammable, whether invoked by Jinnah or the Jehadi (Asim) last month.
Wars of 1965 & 1971
In the 1965 war, Pakistan pushed in its soldiers and officers masquerading as muhaideen pursuing jehad in Jammu & Kashmir. It is another matter that the local people, be it Paharis and Gujjars in the Poonch-Rajouri belt, or ordinary Kashmiris in most parts of the Valley, it covets like a lecherous man casts evil eyes on a neighbour’s wife, foiled its plans.
At that time, some captured officers confessed on camera while in the custody of Indian forces that jihadis and Pakistani soldiers were used in the infiltrating formations.
It was no different in 1970 when the Islamist supremacist Punjabi Pakistanis steamrolled Bengali Muslims led by Sheikh Mujib Rehman. In their struggle for retaining levers of power in West Pakistan (at that time), thousands of Hindus were butchered at the behest of General Yahya Khan and Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. In December 1971, the massacre of these Hindus was partially avenged when Pakistan was vivisected.
Kargil War of 1999
To ordinary Indians, and perhaps many Pakistanis too, General Pervez Musharraf seemed like a liberal. The Pakistan Army decides Pakistan’s foreign policy, and it was no different in 1999. Being too trusting and giving peace a chance, Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee took the initiative and went to Lahore on a bus. His efforts to mend fences with Islamabad took him to Minar e Pakistan so that the whole of Pakistan could see that India accepted Pakistan’s existence.
The Lahore bus yatra proved to be disastrous as around the same time, or even earlier, Musharraf had plotted Kargil intrusions. Once again, when it became known in early May 1999 that Pakistanis had occupied icy heights vacated by Indian soldiers, Musharraf denied it all, saying it was mujahideen. It was predominantly Shia soldiers of Northern Light Infantry (NLI) that he used then as cannon fodder.
Operation Sindoor
This has been the boldest move by India to date, after the 1971 full-fledged war. In Sanatan tradition, there is the concept of navgraha. Hence, the targets chosen under this operation were nine only.
In the Vedic astrology, we see that one of the brightest to shine is the planet Budh (Mercury). What does it signify? Well, if we just start reading about the characteristics of Budh (Mercury), we find that it signifies intelligence, communication, logic and mental abilities. In addition, it also represents learning, versatility, and the ability to effectively express oneself.
The nine targets in Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POJK) were attacked on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. The colour of the flag of Budh is light green, while Pakistan’s flag is dark green in colour with a star on it. Budh is associated with trade, travel, and technology, the three Ts.
Terrorists had employed the Trouser Test (TT) on Hindu males before brutally killing them at Baisaran on April 22. The Sanatan way of hitting back at Islamist jihadis was used to stop trade, travel and using technology (all three Ts which Budh represents at one level) to hit back.
