Have No Position on Kashmir Issue: Arab League

[gubbi]

If their actions are indeed opposite, then in what ways does this benefit India?
Yes and the history of religious ties matters a great deal too in geo-politics.

Religious ties should matter, right? But nowhere in the OIC consititution does it say that member states will support each other in their international politics or diplomacy. That area was best left untouched; to each his own.

Although OIC and AL may sometimes issue soundbites condemning some rare atrocities in Kashmir, not one member has supported Pakistan in its "struggle" for Kashmir. Speaks volumes about 'religious solidarity', doesnt it?

if you feel that way --then also look towards your own country where naxalites are in control or have influence in 1/3 of your country (''single biggest threat to india'' as per your own PM's admission)

and you want more land to govern??!! Land where the people yell ''go india go back'' on a daily basis --where the Pakistani flag is waved and where August 15th is declared a ''black day in history'' on a daily basis???

naxals are now confined in only small pockets in deep jungles/villages of jharkhand and WB... i think u have stuck with that jpeg pic of naxal affected areas.. which is not the reality.

it explains that they are not an Islamic country hence not part of it? nor interested to be a part of it?

Secondly, when India applied for membership of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC), the response was extraordinary. A country with 120 million Muslim citizens applied to membership and what happened? Islamic countries, in typical naiveté, rejected the Indian application,

I think in the end, any voice in support of the JUST Kashmiri struggle is welcome and Pakistanis/Kashmiris should continue to work together to highlight the illegitimacy of the occupation.

ghandi would surely be tossing and turning in his grave miserably had he known the conduct of his country's forces against mostly unarmed Kashmiris

Then maybe you can explain why India isn't a part of it despite having 120 million Muslim citizens? I think their decisions not to include India speaks volumes. It certainly explains which side they lean more against.

Although OIC and AL may sometimes issue soundbites condemning some rare atrocities in Kashmir, not one member has supported Pakistan in its "struggle" for Kashmir. Speaks volumes about 'religious solidarity', doesnt it?

How about they are not obliged to put themselves in line with India and Pakistan? It's not their issue to begin with. Their solidarity in its strance to exclude India in the OIC also spoke volumes.

Keep supporting geelani and his cheerleaders. I mean we support the Baloch freedom struggle as well

at the end of the day, pakistan has no say in India's internal matters. Better to keep your eyes focused near your tribal areas, it's gonna be a real pain to have 2 fronts opened.

jinah would also be tossing in his grave if he knew pakistan was gonna end up like this

you need to redo the math regarding the Naxals and their influence vs India's land mass. But regardless its not India who is asking for more land, . It's theirs and they are cracking up watching you guys implode from inside over it. They have managed to watch an implosion, a near catastrophic collapse of pakistan without firing single bullet.. now equally ironic is that Pakistan was created because your leaders felt, they as Muslims would not get a fair shake being minorities in India, and what do they do? go create a country where it slaughters even parts of its own sect and or treats ' officially' its non muslims as second class citizens.

they might have odd folks who wave the Pakistan flag, that does not bother the Indian govt. They have people in Baluchistan who cheer for India all the time , especially when playing against Pakistan.

pardon my ignorance, I didn't realise ISI was only providing Daal Chawal to the Mujahideens

I think you should read the post to which I answered to. The poster clearly states that nor is India interested to be a part of it. Which was proven to be a false claim.

China should breakup india: Think tank
Almost coinciding with the 13th round of Sino-Indian border talks (New Delhi [ Images ], August 7-8, 2009), an article (in the Chinese language) has appeared in China captioned 'If China takes a little action, the so-called Great Indian Federation can be broken up' (Zhong Guo Zhan Lue Gang, www.iiss.cn, Chinese, August 8, 2009).
Interestingly, it has been reproduced in several other strategic and military Web sites of the country and by all means, targets the domestic audience. The authoritative host site is located in Beijing [ Images ] and is the new edition of one, which so far represented the China International Institute for Strategic Studies (www.chinaiiss.org).

Claiming that Beijing's 'China-Centric' Asian strategy, provides for splitting India [ Images ], the writer of the article, Zhan Lue (strategy), has found that New Delhi's corresponding 'India-Centric' policy in Asia, is in reality a 'Hindustan centric' one. Stating that on the other hand 'local centres' exist in several of the country's provinces (excepting for the UP and certain northern regions), Zhan Lue has felt that in the face of such local characteristics, the 'so-called' Indian nation cannot be considered as one having existed in history.

According to the article, if India today relies on any thing for unity, it is the Hindu religion. The partition of the country was based on religion. Stating that today nation states are the main current in the world, it has said that India could only be termed now as a 'Hindu religious state'. Adding that Hinduism is a decadent religion as it allows caste exploitation and is unhelpful to the country's modernisation, it described the Indian government as one in a dilemma with regard to eradication of the caste system as it realises that the process to do away with castes may shake the foundation of the consciousness of the Indian nation.

The writer has argued that in view of the above, China in its own interest and the progress of Asia, should join forces with different nationalities like the Assamese, Tamils, and Kashmiris and support the latter in establishing independent nation-States of their own, out of India. In particular, the ULFA (United Liberation Front of Asom) in Assam, a territory neighboring China, can be helped by China so that Assam realises its national independence.

The article has also felt that for Bangladesh, the biggest threat is from India, which wants to develop a great Indian Federation extending from Afghanistan to Myanmar. India is also targeting China with support to Vietnam's efforts to occupy Nansha (Spratly) group of islands in South China Sea.

Hence the need for China's consolidation of its alliance with Bangladesh, a country with which the US and Japan [ Images ] are also improving their relations to counter China.

It has pointed out that China can give political support to Bangladesh enabling the latter to encourage ethnic Bengalis in India to get rid of Indian control and unite with Bangladesh as one Bengali nation; if the same is not possible, creation of at least another free Bengali nation state as a friendly neighbour of Bangladesh, would be desirable, for the purpose of weakening India's expansion and threat aimed at forming a 'unified South Asia'.

The punch line in the article has been that to split India, China can bring into its fold countries like Pakistan, Nepal and Bhutan, support ULFA in attaining its goal for Assam's independence, back aspirations of Indian nationalities like the Tamils and Nagas, encourage Bangladesh to give a push to the independence of West Bengal [ Images ] and lastly recover the 90,000 sq km territory in southern Tibet [ Images ].

Wishing for India's break-up into 20 to 30 nation-States like in Europe, the article has concluded by saying that if the consciousness of nationalities in India could be aroused, social reforms in South Asia can be achieved, the caste system can be eradicated and the region can march along the road of prosperity.

The Chinese article in question will certainly outrage readers in India. Its suggestion that China can follow a strategy to dismember India, a country always with a tradition of unity in diversity, is atrocious, to say the least. The write-up could not have been published without the permission of the Chinese authorities, but it is sure that Beijing will wash its hands out of this if the matter is taken up with it by New Delhi.

It has generally been seen that China is speaking in two voices -- its diplomatic interlocutors have always shown understanding during their dealings with their Indian counterparts, but its selected media is pouring venom on India in their reporting. Which one to believe is a question confronting the public opinion and even policy makers in India.

In any case, an approach of panic towards such outbursts will be a mistake, but also ignoring them will prove to be costly for India.
