We are all currently witnessing what can only be termed as Indian Saber rattling. Current scenario with the talk of nuclear equation reminds us of the crisis in mid 80s, long before the nuclear Ginny was let out of the bag. It was Spring of 1986 and Rajiv Gandhi's belligerent attitude had left both armies of India and Pakistan, eye ball to eye ball. At the same time both countries were playing Cricket in India. The cool and calculated General Zia capitalized on the situation and showed desired intentions to watch the match thus the event became famously known as "Zia's Cricket Diplomacy". However at the end of the day and due to protocol requirements Rajiv Gandhi turned up at the airport to see off Zia, but there was no let up in his manner. Unexpectedly Zia grabbed Rajiv from the arm and took him to one side away from the media and other people present and said something to the Indian PM. Historians tell us that as Zia returned to board his plane, Rajiv Gandhi had visibly turned pale with his shoulders drooping. Zia-ul-Haq had only disclosed this conversation with a close friend. The secret was only revealed when the same friend wrote Zia's memorabilia.
Apparently Zia informed Rajiv, that "if all the Muslims in Pakistan are killed, there will still be plenty of Muslims left all over the world but if all of the Hindus in India are killed, that will be the end of the Hindu race".
Zia followed up by telling Rajiv, "Don't force me to the point where we end up killing all the Muslims of Pakistan and all the Hindus of the world". The historians further add that before Zia's plane had landed back in Pakistan, Indian troops were pulling back from the border.
I WOULD SAY, THAT'S A GOOD ADVISE FOR GENERAL KAPOOR TO HEED.!!!!
