Yes, that the new narrative we have heard since a new government led by BJP's leader Narendra Modi took over in India. BJP is a rightwing nationalist party in India. They achieved national prominance in the wake of the religiously charged 1980s and 1990s. Their attempts at consoladating the Hindu vote is obviously controvercial, given India's ''often misused by all parties'' secular constitution. But thats just electoral politics. However India's strong democratic institutions have always ensured electoral politics stays away from national policy, particularly foreign policy.
Then why these calls of a war mondering Hindu Reich? Why does Pakistan's de-facto foreign minister claim India is walking in the path of war? Why many in Pakistani media and independent commentators, including many on the website react in a show of extreme and often foul mouthed manner to the new Indian govt? Creative minds are working overtime to create non existent ''military terms'' like ''Modi's Mad Dog Posture'' etc, visible to the naked eye as just inner hatred. Calls are being made for targetting of Indian civilians openly, suported by many even respected members. Such calls, given the very nebulous lines that separate Pakistan's state and non state actors, are bound to lead to more terrorism emanating from Pakistani soil.
Now it would be presumptious to try to psycho-analyse people, particularly from an enemy nation. Instead, lets take a brief look at how war mongering BJP really is!
Atal Bihari Vajpayee
No, this is not the first time India has seen a BJP led government. And the sub-continent is still here!!! Infact the last BJP government to take over reigns of India, did so when communal relations in India were way worse, the governement writ much weaker, violence in Kashmir much higher and almost daily artillery duels on the border. Certainly the Hindu Reich had risen! Rivers of blood, nothing less.
And Vajpayee decides to visit Lahore to extend a hand of friendship.
The Hindu Reich certainly works in mysterious ways. The nationalist prime minister of India, one known for his fiery nationalistic poetry, decides to go to the arch enemy smaller nation to extend a hand of friendship.
Result - Pakistan plans Kargil war while Vajpayee is still in Pakistan. A war monger is a war monger, if he wants war we will give him war, Vajpayee certainly must have deserved it!
Narendra Modi
Fast forward 2014. Modi, promising development and pro business policies, and with the votes of those most likely to benefit from them, sweeps to power. Full majority. Full freedom to implement his agenda. No need to divert the public's attention form any ''failures'' as he gets a guaranteed 5 years.
But he's a mass murderer, a war monger, a Muslim hater, a Pakistan baiter. Rivers of blood, nothing less.
And he decides to invite Pakistani prime minister for his swearing in ceremony. Also tries to create personal good will with the PM.
And he decides to restart dialogue
Sartaz Aziz says India's refusal to carry out the planned dialogue is India's war mongering. Cue for jingos to start calling for Indian blood and religious abuse and other time tested policies that have worked for them so well over 6 decades.
Hey wait a minute!
Pakistan knew fully well that a public meeting with their secretary and Hurriyat leaders before the dialoge would cause India to cancel dialogue. Pakistan's excuse - they wanted to discuss the dialoge with Hurriyat.
Don't Pakistanis have phones?
So who really wants to cancel the dialoge Mr Aziz? Who might be doing the bidding of another superpower Mr Aziz? Who has that record and credentials? Who is creating du-humanising stories full of holes about pakistani (non commisioned!!!) officers being killed under a white flag without even mentioning that a BSF jawan was first sniped there while patrolling??? Who is lecturing India on a local violent incident between two families (perps arrested) that killed three Muslims with the aim of creating more ill will, when Modi on his part made the entire legislature and all schools in India pay respects to the Peshawar victims? So who really benefits from a war, a newly elected democratic leader who has years to try to achieve development before even deciding if he needs a war to shore up his image? A leader from a business community, their support and their interests in mind, who hails from a industrialised state bordering Pakistan that stands to lose a lot (and by that I mean A LOT, heck the worlds largest refinery is there, do you know how much that costs???) in a war? Or a beleagured divided state with little writ and prospects, but more than willing to and with the experience to do the dirty job of an emerging superpower to ''contain'' the former, and create a diversion and unity at home in the process???
Who really is the little war monger drunk on religion???
Your thoughts welcome. But please avoid chest thumping, hyperbole, religious flame baiting, calls for terrorism or war crimes. Present official facts, not videos of retired officials presenting at conferences. And if possibe, try to introspect.
