NaMo's Pak Strategy for Dummies

A lot of people including fans of Narendra Modi seem puzzled on Narendra Modi's strategy to take on Pakistan ...

To understand NaMo's Pak strategy one need to understand the raison d'être of Pak's existence as a state

1) Network of friends - Pakistan is a failed state that acts as a mercenary for other other foreign powers for its own survival.

2) Non- State actors to protect sovereignty - Pakistan relies on bunch of non state actors to maintain it own territorial integrity. From Pak occupied Kashmir to borders with Afghanistan, its the non-state actors that maintain the territorial integrity of Pakistan

3) Hatred for India and the quest to annex Kashmir - Hatred for India which his often expressed as a quest to annex Kashmir binds the Pakistanis.

A a state Pak is not bound bound by any ideology but a few artificial hinges that keep the state together.

NaMo's Pak strategy is to is strike hard at roots of Pakistan

1) Isolate Pakistan - With only one friend remaining i.e. China , Pakistan has a limited utility as an ally to anyone.

2) Support Balouch / Gilgit rebels - It is widely believed that the NDA government offered covert support to rebels within Pak. NaMo has made this strategy very overt as witnessed in the Independence Day speech.

3) Economic Breakdown - With fewer friends , Pak cannot even afford a limited scale war. A limited conflict will bankrupt a failed state. India cannot only afford a war but would also yield political dividends as the nation will unite behind NaMo.

Isolating and Breaking up of Pak has already commenced , its not if but when will NaMo declare war.......

Manohar - One who could win hearts and minds

They say that it is easy to defeat anyone, winning people over is the most difficult thing to do. Manohar Parrikar true to his name dedicated his life to winning people over. My first interaction with Manohar Parikkar was 5 years ago. Elections had been announced and Manohar Parikkar was asked to address IT professionals living in and around Outer Ring Road in Bangalore. New Horizon College was the venue. On that lazy Sunday, I managed to show up at the venue 15 before time. Politicians are known to arrive late but Manohar Parrikar was already there mingling with the IT crowd. He speech consisted of 2-3 stories with foksy humor and wisdom. He wanted the IT crowd to engage in politics, to participate in nation building, I still remember his story "Once upon a time, Goa was known for the best watermelons. Every year post the harvest season, farmers in every village would invite people to taste the best watermelons for free. There was only one condition, they had to spit ou...

Kindle Review @ India

Got my Kindle delivered today and altough its been only a few hours here's how Kindle works in Bangalore, India a) Purchase: I bought the Kindle Global Edition using my Indian credit card and got it shipped to a friend in the US who got it for me to Bangalore .

Mahaghatbandhan Meltdown

Over the last 9 months, regional leaders had worked very hard to build an anti-Modi front. They did not contest seats, swallowed pride and also shared a platform with the very parties against whom they had contested all their lives. These regional parties did all this with only one hope - survival. They believed that if they all came together, they could put up a credible fight against Modi in 2019. It would be painful for each one of them to concede seats but at least survival was possible. The Mahaghatbandhan strategy was put to test during the bypolls. Vote banks were combined; lifelong enemies (BSP-SP) came together and the BJP was defeated in the bypolls. Mahaghatbahndhan despite its inherent contradictions seemed to work. Desperation was the binding glue. NDA, on the other hand, seemed to lose friends. The Shiv Sena remains miffed as it is relegated to a supporting role, TDP walked out as it was unable to take on YSR at the local level. On top of this, media build a ...
