PARADISE LOST -

India and Pakistan fought three wars over a patch of land, that a Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan called, ‘Paradise on Earth’. That is the state of Kashmir. However, as events may turn out, both of claimants may be forced to hand it over to a third claimant – the US protégé, Israelis, who are flocking in droves to ‘discover’ and excavate historical sites, known as the tombs of Moses and Jesus. For good measure, Israeli experts are trying to declare the Kashmiris themselves, as one of the lost tribes of Israel. The first step may be to manage independence for the people of Kashmir as per their long struggle. On the side, both the US and Israel will move in as the ultimate guarantor of its independence and another friendly abode for Diaspora Jews to settle and secure the region for the US. As it is US/Israel have declared Pakistan a hotbed of terrorism and they would need another fully secured security outpost to protect their strategic interests in the very center of three nuclear-armed neighbours.

Indians should thank Vajpayee, Advani and Brajesh Mishra to pave the way to solve the intractable problem of Kashmir, to honour the best wishes of the Kashmiri Muslims, who may find their Paradise lost.

Historically, whenever people of Indian subcontinent fought among themselves, a third force always came in and took over. This time around, the third force will arrive not through land routes like in the past, but will descend from heavens on the wings of friendly fleets of commercial airplanes to the ultimate despair of Geelani and Mirwaiz Umar Farooq.
