TALIBAN IN SWAT



Well, I am back with another blog, my second this year. Lately my professional commitments had kept me well away from the net. Many things have happened in world during this time, The Satyam Fiasco, The Malegaon probes, the advent of the Hindu Social Moral enforcers and many more. I hope to deal with the subjects in detail in the future.

As my first subject, I am dealing with the rise of Taliban in Pakistan.The Pakistan Government has given control of a large part of the country to the Taliban. The Taliban, literally meaning "Students" are a band of rag tag militia that found it's origin in the Afghanistan and was one of the predominant force there until ousted by the American lead operations post 9/11. These militants are dominated by Pusthoon tribals . Notorious for the following of the strictest following of Islamic laws which is even severe by normal standards, they never got recognition in Afghanistan and soon became very unpopular due to their brutal ways. they also never got international recognition expect from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and UAE.

After their ouster, they regrouped and became a potent force fighting the NATO led alliance in Afghanistan. They also started dominating the political land scape of Pakistan especially in NWFP. They finally got legal recognition in the form of the agreement with the Government of Pakistan which gave them administrative control over a huge territory.

Now such an agreement will have far reaching consequences not only for Pakistan but for the rest of the world at large especially India. Pakistan is no ordinary country. Pakistan is dangerous because she is armed with nuclear fangs. If the march of Taliban is not arrested, then there is every chance they may run over Pakistan and in the process the nuclear arsenal will fall into their hands . India should also be really concerned because the Taliban in the door step will give fresh impetus to the insurgency in the Kashmir valley and also the terrorism in the rest of India.

After the deadly attacks on 26/11 in Mumbai , India launched a diplomatic offensive against Pakistan. Pakistan on it's part put the defense of total denial until the deadly Lahore attacks on 3/3 took place. Now Pakistan has become the nucleus of Global terrorism. It is also undeniable that the Diplomatic pressure tactics of India has not borne fruit and the perpetrators of 26/11 still roams free in Pakistan. Pakistan on it's own is slowly slipping to anarchy. Such a situation will be the perfect breeding ground for religious fundamentalism and may pave way for the growth of Taliban in Pakistan as a Pan-Pakistan movement. It is time we woke up to the reality. It is time India changed it's strategy and started taking steps including "by all means necessary", lest the time may come when the damages done will be irreparable for India and the rest of the world
