I was popularly known as Taliban Khan. I used to be very critical of Americans and their Af-Pak Policy. I felt that we were becoming a Chinese colony due to CPEC. I used to air views on Army atrocities in Baluchistan and KP. All that changed. When I was selected as the PM by the Army, I did my first U Turn. All these became my lifelines. I learnt my lesson in leadership. To go up – do a U Turn. I started my tenure in earnest by giving up on those buffaloes in my official residence. I started with ‘Naya’ Gyan for a ‘Naya’ Pakistan. I promised to take ten steps if India would take one, but I always felt that Kashmir banega Pakistan. That was long back. I had just returned from USA. The pitter patter of rain and the promise of ‘mediation’ by the “Trumpet’. Ah! My cup was full. It was blissful and somnambulant. Breaking news…. The TV anchor announced…. India Abrogates Article 370. Kashmir again! Damn you. Bliss gone. Call the team. Draft a retort full of War hype, Nuclear exchan...

This narration is not fiction or a flight of imagination.  It is drawn from writings of either learned Pakistanis or from international opinions. This is not based on an Indian wish list or source.  It is based on fact.    The Strategy of Pied Pipers The space between the ears of the hybrid Pakistani establishment is occupied by the Kashmiri demon which goes by the name of “Abrogation of Article 370”. The Indian political rapier has cut hard and cut deep. The “Deep State” does not seem to have recovered from it. However, its shocked silence conveys a lot. Its standard options of promoting violent reprisals in the Valley through its sword arm (ISI) and its surrogates (JEM, LET etc) seem to be off the table presently.  It is waiting to unleash them once restrictions are gradually eased in the Valley. Of course, they will be morphed as local “independence” enterprises for which they are giving moral support. Till then the Pied Pipers of the Deep...

              Times Have Changed Abrogation of Article 370 has changed the Indo-Pak landscape in toto. It has irreversibly cemented J&K as an integral part of India like other states. It has brought into focus the future of illegally occupied POK and Gilgit-Baltistan. The statements of Shri Rajnath Singh that further dialogue with Pakistan will be on POK has deep ramifications. Maharaja Hari Singh acceded the complete state of Kashmir including Gilgit, Baltistan, Kashmir, Jammu, Leh and Ladakh to India in 1948. These areas were never acceded to Pakistan. Were they? Hence all this is Indian Territory. On the other hand, Pakistan signed a standstill agreement with the ruler but broke it and invaded Kashmir [1] . Pakistan occupied POK by force. Gilgit and Baltistan were amalgamated into Pakistan through British perfidy. Pakistan has consistently denied treating these areas as its provin...
