BUTCHERS OF PESHAWAR : ARE THEY GOOD OR BAD TALIBAN? Killing of 140 or more innocent school children is such an inhuman and a barbaric act, which can only be performed by desensitized and deranged people. No civilized person would accept this diabolical carnage, however one dislike the other person. Pakistan must realise that demons have come to live within Pakistan and their population is on the increase day by day. If left unchecked, it would be catastrophic for Pakistan as a polity. India can not feel comfortable at a destabilized Pakistan. Pakistan establishment ought to take this view point of India seriously because India no more lives in 1947 and to her Pakistan is a reality as a neighbor. It is this lack of confidence that makes Pakistan view her as an enemy till eternity. Butchers of Peshawar ought to make Pakistans establishment realise that there was nothing GOOD about Taliban; it is all BAD and horrific. It is time for Pakistan and it leadership to realise that Taliban has outgrown its desired role and become a monster , nibbling at the very foundations of Pakistan. Pakistan has been rearing and nourishing a devil in its back yard, hoping to use it as a strategic asset to create strategic depth in Afghanistan. Taliban can not be treated as a STRATEGIC ASSET anymore. Pakistan must give top priority to its KHYBER PAKHTUKHWA ( KPK) and tribal areas and put Kashmir in a deep freezer, at least for next 10-15 years. Save whatever is existing as Pakistan. In the past, their bid to annexe Kashmir, led to loss of its eastern wing, I.e Bangla Desh. Now KPK and tribal Areas are threatening to fall apart, while it is Pakistan military was busy manipulating events in Indian Kashmir. It must smash the inexorable head of this snake gobbling up Pakistan. Pakistan must come out of the mindset of 1947 and reorient itself as a people of 21st Century. Its hatred of India has led it into this. The other day after the champion trophy semi final match between India and Pakistan at Bhubneshwar, this hatred was unequivocally displayed by its hockey players. The obscene gestures reflected the Venom that has been stuffed into Pakistanis over the years. It is this hatred which led her to three and a half wars with India over Kashmir. When it realised that it can not annexe it through a military conflict, it unleashed WOM (War by other Means) in Kashmir and India through its irregular Soldiers. Later it tried to co opt Talibans into this venture when Soviets went out of Afghanistan. Jihad Factories sprang up in its tribal areas of KPK. But two events in the decade of 90s set at naught Pakistans WOM in Kashmir. First was the First Gulf War of 1991 and second was the 9/11 incident. In the first instances, the Gulf War allowed the leverage to India to pull out Kashmir out of the jaws of Pakistan. AZADI Movement lost its shine because of Wests attention having different priorities. In the second case, Taliban fell out of favour with USA and Pakistan lost its greatest ally against India. Thereafter it was all a slide down in Pak- Taliban relations. And Peshwar massacre shows that it has reached its nadir of enemity. It would be stupid of Pakistan to blame India for Peshawar genocide. But it must seek Indian cooperation to deal with this monster. It can not do so by raking up Kashmir. It has to go into a deep freezer, at least for next 5-10 years. Besides, Pakistan military ought to realise that without Indian help it can not tackle Taliban effectively. If Pakistan continues its adventure in Kashmir, India reserves the right to exploit Taliban. And nothing is impossible, when money plays its game. The hard lesson for Pakistan and India to realise is that the legitimate solution to Kashmir Issue had taken place in 1949 , along the accepted CEASE FIRE LINE ( CFL) or as the line modified as LINE OF CONTROL ( LC) in 1971. This demands that both India and Pakistan must get out of the mindset of 1947 and live in the year 2014. It asks that Pakistan must shed the notion of UNFINSIHED AGENDA of 1947 and India must forgo the thought of POK as ATOOT ANG ( Inseparable Limb). This would allow both the nations a leeway to tackle their internal problems and work for the welfare and development of their common man. Time for India and Pakistan to behave as responsible nations of the GLOBALISED world. Let you not become victims of your intrigues and games. The Butchers of Peshwar and Killers of Mumbai must be brought to the book at the earliest for endurable peace to usher in South Asia. And the ball is in Pakistans court.
