If Pakistan splinters - wishful thinking of Bharat Verma
If Pakistan splinters it will lessen the heavy financial burden placed on India’s economy with drastic reduction in the security apparatus. This will enable India to make rapid economic strides and outpace China in a short span of time.
Pakistan appears to be hurtling towards self-destruction and Beijing treats Pakistan as an extension of its war machine and if Pakistan splinters in the near future this could stall the expanding Chinese footprints in the region.
Baluchistan with its rich resources is up in arms against Islamabad for exploiting their resources and If Pakistan splinters Sindh which has a very strong democratic yearning is certain to charter its own independent path, but in consonance with Indian [desire] value system.
If Pakistan splinters the spread of two authoritarian streams, Chinese communism and Islamic fundamentalism, both in combination or otherwise, will not only reduce the threat to existing democracies in Asia, but also deter other authoritarian regimes from holding sway in Asia.
Beijing will suffer a major setback to its long-term economic and internal security plans if Pakistan splinters as this can preclude the Chinese navy from access to the warm waters of the Indian Ocean and direct access to West Asia through Gwadar, but to prevent this from happening Beijing is ready to make every endeavor, even to the extent of military intervention in support of the Pakistan army.
Due to some serious contradictions within Pakistan, certain disgruntled elements are pushed into a pit of despair from where it is almost impossible to return and if Pakistan splinters, Beijing will soon be treating Pakistan as a surrogate colony.
Similarly, colossal gains accrue to the West if Pakistan splinters. The West led by America is losing the plot in Afghanistan because the problem is the Pakistan Army and its Irregular Forces and if Pakistan splinters and the spoilers, Pakistan Army and ISI disappear, then Afghanistan will gradually witness unhindered growth of democracy.
The biggest gain for then for the US and its allies if Pakistan splinters would be that China’s expanding authoritarian influence would be sharply curtailed in the region and there would be many friendly places to operate from and access the rich resources of Central Asia to the mutual benefit of all players.
A lot of wishful thinking by Bharat Verma, veteran Indian army cavalry officer and former editor of Indian Defence Review website and author of the books, Fault Lines, Indian Armed Forces and India Under Fire: Essays on National Security, in his blog titled, “If Pakistan splinters” has penned.
Bharat Verma being a former cavalry officer and writer on subjects of defence and national security completely fails to tell the readers as to how, India could execute his ‘diabolic’ plan of splintering Pakistan and curtail the rise of China in the region and afar.
Each time ‘along with 'if Pakistan splinters,’ Bharat Verma had added, ‘Hare Rama Hare Krishna,’ it could be used as a prayer by the Indian Armed Forces.
PS: Moments prior to posting this blog on 19th Dec, 2016 I learnt Bharat Verma died on 11th July, 2014.
