Create geography like Indira Gandhi did in 1971 war

Honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modiji,

Greetings from a wounded secular citizen of India, an octogenarian.

The Pahalgam massacre must be revenged. The terrorists and their backers must be buried under the earth, to use your resolve made on the soil of Bihar. To do so, this is your finest hour.

Remember the words of Dom Moraes, the renowned journalist and author, who wrote about the war India fought with Pakistan in 1971 and created Bangladesh. In great admiration of the Prime Minister Indira Gandhi for the victory, Dom Moraes wrote in Indian Express, ‘Mrs. Indira Gandhi not only created history but also created geography.’

Modiji,I remind you of this profound statement at this hour of crisis for our country only because you too, like Indira Gandhi, should seize the opportunity and create not only history but  also geography.

Bangladesh, the Islamic State of the size of a handkerchief compared to India, has the hubris to threaten us saying it would cut off the Siliguri  Corridor, also known as the chicken’s neck, and take over Assam. Occupy Bangladesh territories around the chicken’s neck and expand the Siliguri Corridor. Create an iron curtain in place of the chicken’s neck.

In the West, take back the “stolen” part of Kashmir (to borrow the word from our Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar), now known as PoK. With this, India’s bruised sovereignty and unity and integrity of its territories will be reclaimed and restored as per the Preamble of our Constitution.

This done, if any militarily strategic pass or territory needs to be occupied, finish that job too.

This land of Sanatana Dharma has for centuries remained a land of lotus-eaters. Now time has come to spew fire and brimstone to reclaim our land and protect our people.
