India, Iran & Israel must come together for Pakistan
Even a school kid should be able to tell what the biggest
foreign policy challenge for India is at the moment. It is a challenge that will determine the future of India – good, bad or ugly – for the next 50 years or so. The challenge is tackling an imploding Pakistan. The savage assassination of Benazir Bhutto clearly shows that either the military regime led by General Pervez Musharaff was instrumental in ordering her execution, or Musharaff is no longer capable of reining the Jehadi monsters that were unleashed by the late General Zia-ul Haq. Either way, India and the world face the frightening prospect of a rogue nation, its institutions and its nuclear weapons falling into Jehadi hands. Make no mistake: were that to happen, the first target will be an Indian city because the Indian establishment has repeatedly proven that it is a ‘soft state’ that meekly shrugs its shoulders and accepts terrorist attacks, which are implemented with impunity.
Forget the people of Pakistan and their dreams of a democracy and their goodwill towards their Indian neighbours. Forget the ability of the United States administration to even bring in a semblance of sham democracy in Pakistan. Benazir was the ace in the hole for the discredited and battered Bush Administration and she has simply been blown away. In any case, the average Pakistani – not to speak of the Jehadis – is so infuriated with the double standards of Uncle Sam that the United States simply cannot influence any event there anymore; unless it chooses to do it with missiles, tanks and soldiers. Forget the ability of the Chinese Government to rein the rogue state that Pakistan has become. Jehadis are now systematically targetting Chinese citizens working in Baluchistan and those days are not far off when the Jehadis will treat China, the way they treat America and Americans at the moment.
The Indian foreign policy establishment has no choice but to start a serious dialogue with two countries – both implacable foes of each other at the moment. The first one is Iran that stands to gain most from the nuclear export racket that Pakistan is ‘clandestinely’ running. The other is the only Jewish state in the world, Israel. In the entire West Asia, it is Israel that has the most to fear from an imploding and Jehadi Pakistan, mesmerised by the malevolent spell of the al-Qaeda. And Iran is a Shia state while the majority Sunnis in Pakistan are making a spectator sport of butchering fellow Shias. Sure America, China and Russia will play a big role; but it is only India, Israel and Iran that have the biggest stakes in saving Pakistan from itself. The alternative, quite frankly, is Armageddon of the type never seen before.
