The fact that there is nothing permanent in the world, except change, but the pace of transformation since renaissance marked by industrial revolution, Victorian age, modern era and now computer generation - has multiplied the frequency of transformation. The contemporary period is dominated by two key developments, propagation of computer based research and developments and proliferation of knowledge. Since every advantage has corresponding disadvantage, invention of computer, revolutionized the world, on one hand while on the other, it has also added new dimensions of enigmas, mysteries, fantasies and juggleries. Its negative aspects include hacking, Cyber Warfare and media blitzing, that has manifold politico-economic implications of different description and gravity. The bombardment of disinformation, twisted logic (interwoven in the news and views) cut, paste and dub - a falsehood painted as transparent reality has now turned this universe into one of the most danger places. It appears that use of all the idioms of evil-doing, under the canopy of `war of wits is now shaking the world peace.
Like Russia and the US, as cold war rivals, India is now set to engage its rivals. One such attempt was Mumbai firing. It is the beginning of new series of political war games in the region as part of translating `Akhund Bharat dreams into reality. Political pundits sensed such a mood, sometime during 2005-7, when the Nepal monarchy experienced a series of strange developments when King Gyanendras monarchy was succumbing to Indian intrigue and sabotage spree in Pakistan was gaining roots.
BNPs recent rout from electoral race has further precipitated such suspicions into beliefs. It is said that South Asia is now on the path of transition. In future, Bangladesh will face a tough music due to series of Indian blame game. Allegations like providing sanctuary to terrorists and hosting Islamic terrorism may be leveled in the coming months. New Delhi appears in a mood to create a new Al-Qaeda type of breed imaginary ghost in India with its bases or tentacles in BD and Pakistan under the label of Islamic militants to win the international sympathies. In short, a spin off, Mumbai attacks, with different versions full of intriguing strands will implicate Bangladesh to unleash reign of terror, as it did in its Northeast Indian seven states to eliminate potential targets like Jamaatul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) under tall claims of restoring peace in the region. In future, Bangladeshs soil may experience Kashmir like situation, where instead of uniform military or paramilitary, as many security forces in civvies would be deployed to achieve similar results.
Indian Security Forces deliberate attempt to hit 22 foreigners during Mumbai firing was aimed at radicalizing and turning the guns of big international players toward Pakistan. This also fit into their scheme for raising the ante in the European and American media to tarnish Pakistans image. Unfortunately Bollywoods real actions, this time underwent a marked change in its policy i.e. shifting its focus from film making to real actions; from harbingers of `largest democracy of the world into most degenerated immoral state. It was mockery of the worlds sense of judgment and UNO so-called screening of truth and falsehood. It was the measure of Indian Human Right moral credentials and test of the international monitoring standards. It was all, part of political fiction, crystallized to become a soot to implicate Pakistan into international vendetta. Let the Indian demonstrate her willingness to carry out joint investigation, such puzzle pieces, glued together with lies will fall apart one by one.
If we judge the impact of Indian propaganda, India has polarized the global society. There is need to educate the common citizens, what India is all up to, by polluting the minds of the innocent people. This is also letting down the Pakistani establishment and the rulers in the eyes of its own masses, besides bringing discredit to its defence outfits. The fact that such dirty practices cannot be pursued by Pakistan that may end up in such tragic episodes.
Indian cleverness can also be judged from the fact that it has, offered a sole survivor, for the investigation, instead of two - a typical sharp move to avoid exploiting discrepancies or loopholes of their statements. Had there been two or more criminals, their interrogations or investigation would have helped the investigators to fully exploit their statements. It may be recalled that investigation and interrogation is also an intelligence minting game. A common citizen cannot precisely imagine how an interrogator minutely judges each and every word, sentence or movement of accused expression/statement? The way each and every word is grilled, to arrive at some logical conclusion.
At present both countries appears to have become hostage to a milieu riddled with suspicions and uncertainty. Unlike bridging the gap between the two distant ends, more dust is kicked up with every passing day than making any move in the right direction. The critical test to the ongoing investigations would be to dig out motives and intentions or seeds sown by one party against its rival to reap the desired results. The striking feature of the whole saga is lack of sincerity and will to move ahead to steer our actions, as allegations and counter-claims will further spoil the hype of uncertainty. The second biggest hurdle would be counterfeits of facts and invalid identities. LeT operatives may be devoted party cadres committed to serve the peaceful law-abiding citizens of the country. On the contrary there may be some non-state actors minions, with fake LeT credentials, enjoying tacit approval for such dirty actions. Again, a party worker may be Pakistani, but if his services are requisitioned by the enemy, to act and work for them, then he is an impersonated case, for which LeT or Pakistan cannot be held responsible.
Pakistans, eating humble pie is nothing but to cool the rising temperature in the region. Initially, such plots and intricacies are sole subject of the interrogators and investigators to compile their findings before the case is dealt by the journalists, defence analysts or think tanks politicians and diplomats. According to some intellectuals, Congress leaders borrowed this idea of launching Mumbai attack from the film script of `Black Friday based on serial bomb blasts in Mumbai in 1993. Its plot also bears close resemblance to another film `a Wednesday in which similar scenes e.g. theme, actions and places of shooting coincides with Mumbai tragedy.
It appears, New Delhi will keep raising its voice to fulfill their demands, as part of saber-rattling, brow-beating and inflaming Pakistanis. Her current posture of bringing the real culprits or its perpetrators to appear in the court of justice for an exemplary punishment is nothing but to keep its threat simmering. Let me remind Indian leaders, humble advice of Abraham Lincoln that You may fool all the people some of the time, you can even fool some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all the time.
