Dear Countrymen,
Regardless of our political leanings and views, I am going to say and ask this only once in regards to what our honorable Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu had said in regards to Baluchistan. I normally do not talk about Kashmir and Baluchistan.
Let's start by accepting the fact that Mr. Modi spoke of personal messages he had received from residents of Baluchistan during a national broadcast on their Independence Day.
Meanwhile since early July, India had been having trouble with the current problems in Kashmir where over 60 people had been killed, thousands injured and under a strict curfew. New Delhi has long accused Islamabad of supporting the insurgency over there.
The point here is that if Pakistan causes problems in Kashmir, India will deliver some serious hurt back at Pakistan.
It is understandable that India as the world's fastest growing economy want to be taken seriously on the world stage and long struggled to maintain a morale high ground over Pakistan ever since the beginning.
Mr. Modi's tough talk could backfire however. Pakistan had blamed India for the insurgency in Baluchistan despite scant evidence. Pakistan can alternatively find an audience to address this grief. Let's not forget that China has its ears to this reference. They have made significant investment in the troubled province as part of its goal to build a corridor that'll give access to the Arabian Sea. I'm sure they have other friends. Any form of escalation will hurt India more than Pakistan. A nation's prime minister by saying what he said would only paint his country and his people as less dependable and most of all less responsible and thereby tarnishing its international image - Especially if there is any escalation in an increasingly murky state of world affairs.
Additionally, by stating that Pakistan is the root of all problems in Kashmir is basically like exculpating oneself. Another risk to India is that it can lose sight of the actual problem in Kashmir. Couldn't it be other than foreign meddling, it can be due to the alienation of the people and land (yes, the whole thing) which India claims as its own?
So my fellow countrymen, how does Bangladesh fit in here? Your thoughts.
Yours truly.
