Indian tricky journey towards an "innocent" country which is being
troubled by its neighbors is indeed interesting. Soon after it
gained independence form the Great Britain, it went on to annex its
neighboring Jammu Kashmir on fictitious pretext and hurried brought
the free nation of Kashmiris into the Indian Union. Then making full
use of emerging so-called Cold war, India forged a strong alliance
for economic and security cooperation and sought its support for its
ambition for retaining Kashmir, its atrocities on Pakistanis and,
later, Bangladeshis in the form of subversive activities in these
countries. India obtained weapons and technology form the Soviet
Union and its allies and built up weapons arsenals to threaten
Kashmiris and Pakistanis. Russia even helped its "friend" in Asia to
blast nuclear weapons further threatening Pakistan and causing
severe economic problems buy generating an arms race in the region.

By modeling itself on the super powers of the time it aimed at same
goal in the region. The so-called Indian Doctrine seeks to retain
Kashmir and keep its neighbors in perpetual strife and ruins. Indian
game plan in the region is dangerous for its neighbors, especially
Pakistan and Bangladesh. Tragedy of Kashmiris as being the subjects
of Indian brutality is known to the world. While China, the economic
giant in this part of the globe and the only UNSC veto member, can
withstand any kind of pressure tactics of India, buy that is not the
case with Pakistan, Bangladesh and Kashmir.

The Indian Doctrine has been an impressive destabilization campaign,
combining suicide bombings with threats of taking out Pakistani
nukes and open about the breakup of the Pakistani homeland. India
labors in Afghanistan to destabilize Pakistan and in North East to
break Bangladesh after creating dislocations in the country. The
ultimate goal of Indian massive operation in Afghanistan-Pakistan
borders is "to help New Delhi in the foreign policy objective of
destabilizing Islamic Pakistan, breaking the monopoly of the ISI and
army over Pakistan. New Delhi aims to break the stranglehold of the
intelligence agencies, the bureaucracy and the military in Pakistan
and Bangladesh. And India is good at crying loudly of
its "terrorist" neighbors.

Indian government seeks to a creative approach to expand Indian
intelligence operations in Pakistan, Bangladesh and in the region,
inspired an ambitious Pakistan-specific plan after 9/11, exploiting
the unprecedented uncertainty on the ground in the Pakistan-
Afghanistan region. By 2007, India was in the advanced stages of
executing an ambitious intelligence operation suspected of having
substantially contributed to the multiple and unprecedented security
challenges that Pakistan faced in its western regions in the period
between 2004 and early 2008.

Indian subversive strategies are to delicate to read between lines.
A small incident in Karachi in September 2007 gave Pakistani policy
strategists a rare glimpse into the larger game plan of New Delhi
pretends to be a "innocent" nation in the region all the time. The
incident fitted a pattern and provided clues to the unfortunate role
played by some actors in India, apart from the sitting government
there, in compounding Pakistan's problems on our western borders.

After losing its hold over the USSR which became Russia and began
demanding price for weapons, technology and other services, India
slowly moved on to the enter the wings of the USA which despises it.
New cash obtained from privatization and liberalization of public
sector undertakings belonging to the common people in the country,
New Delhi set out for weapon purchases in world market and bought
arms and technology from countries including USA, UK, Israel, France
and South Africa.

The chief idea behind all this is to forge a so-called strategic
partnership with USA and Israel to fight Islam under disguise. But
India also tried to enter into a tri format with Russia and China,
but both of them know the Indian mindset and hence India is not
quite satisfied with the emerging situation. USA does not like
Indian posture in East Asia, and China does not like Indian
movements on its borders. Russia obviously is annoyed about Indian
treachery when it has got new cash.

Added to Indian worries, world is unhappy over Indian continued
occupation of Kashmir and Russia which used to support Indian case
disapproves of that now. That makes one point clear to India that it
has to surrender sovereignty to Kashmir so as to forge meaningful
dialog with countries across the globe.

With mere empty slogans about its democratic and secular records
when Muslims around are killed by it, India cannot keep dreaming
about the super power status in the region by enacting all these
strategic dreams. Neither an anti-neighbor Doctrine nor the nuclear
weapons can help India join the real team of great nations. Nor can
pretensions of innocence and greatness win friends in today`s world
where every one can play the same drama equally well, if not better.
