“The great eventful Present hides the Past; but through the din of its loud life, hints and echoes from the life behind steal in”

It is more of a certainty that Pakistan’s misanthropic misadventure would increasingly spread its fangs much beyond the paradigm of Kashmir to all over India. And it is a bigger certainty that in the new game, Bangladesh would be the new pawn, making sure that for India, internal security becomes much more of a concern than external threats.

Reaping the benefit of this increasing animosity towards India is China, which has its own compulsion to see much of India burning in a slow yet lethal proxy war. On one hand, while it has otherwise maintained a so called peaceful stance, on the other hand, it has been consistently handing over to Pakistan vital nuclear and missile technology to continue to keep India busy. So the elephant, which has not yet fully awakened from the slumber, finds itself surrounded by adversaries armed with lethal arsenal. Under such circumstances, a proposition to not arm her own self – just for the sake of pleasing the peaceniks – is nothing but self defeating. So a nuclear India has embarked on a new mission to continue with its missile development programmes to makes sure that some of them like Agni-III can reach the heart of China.
