Every body does mistakes. If you are an individual, no body cares what you do, and it doesn't effect anybody except you or some. What if the same person sitting in the PM chair or CM chair and does the mistakes, it will effect the entire nation. I am thinking of the mistakes that we(India) regret for, The mistakes that affected the nation, the mistakes that, if were not happened, we would have been in a better shape......
Since we are all in the moods of Kashmir, Lets see what single mistake by which single person led to the situation that we are seeing today....
Do you all remember the map of Kashmir , printed by Indian printing companies, its looks like this isn't it.
The Jammu& Kashmir that you are looking is not all controlled by India. 30% of it occupied by Pakistan and 10% by China and 5% given by Pakistan to China as a gift (Yes, Our land, given by Pak to China as a gift...). I was depressed a lot the first time I came to know about this. Now I know its a fact and need to live with it. The present Kashmir is like this
You see now, what India can print, If it needs to print it for real. Its been the problem for 60 years and we couldn't solve the problem. Now we are threatened to lose the remaining part of Kashmir. If I go back to the story of Kashmir..
Its in 1947, India got its independence, Kashmir was a princely state. The king of Kashmir hasn't not decided whether to join with Pakistan or India. During this period Pakistan encouraged and helped the tribes of Kashmir to go for a war against the raja of Kashmir, Maharaja, Singh. He sought India's help to fight back and agreed to the condition to keep Kashmir as an integral part of India. With this agreement, The Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, Ordered the Indian army to recapture the Kashmir occupied by tribes and Pakistan. Indian army performed extremely superb and captured most of the PAK occupied Kashmir and progressing. In these circumstances, UN ordered both countries to siege fire and withdraw forces from the disputed land. As per UN's request, India (or)Nehru decided to not move any further, but PAK rejected to withdraw.
If we would have let the army free, we would have captured remaining Kashmir and parts of Pakistan if needed. Here my intention is not to capture Pakistan, but you know how deep we can get into the land.
From then, till now, we are not the real controllers of our whole Kashmir (though we show it in our maps). China on other hand was even more dangerous. In 1950s It captured Aksai chin from east, and it took almost 10 years for the Govt of India to know that its not in our control anymore. Jawaharlal Nehru was the PM for this period as well.
I cannot really understand, being in the most responsible position, how could he order the army to not move any further. we are not war-wishers, but we lost our pride along with Kashmir. And China, by that time, captured Tibet and claimed Taiwan, how could Nehru over trust China. With his wrong decision we lost Aksai Chin as well.
The consequences that we are facing
1)We lost control on the second largest peak on earth K2.
2) We are now more prone to China and Pakistan.
3)We lost control on some of the rivers originating from Kashmir.
4)Pakistan gained direct access to china and China got direct access to Pakistan and Hindu ocean through Pakistan. You understand how serious is this for the security of India5) We lost direct(through land, and No access via water bcaz they are landlocked) access to Afghanistan and Tajakisthan. This is preventing us to access plentyfull natural resouces in those countrys
6)Above all we lost the Jewel of bhartah matha...
Way to go Venkat !! Solid start..
