According to a <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehindu.com\/news\/national\/runaway-grandmother-sparked-savage-skirmish-on-loc\/article4291426.ece?homepage=true\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">report<\/span><\/a><\/span> in The Hindu, what started the current round of escalation in tensions was a seemingly innocuous incident involving a 70 year old women who crossed the LOC in September from the Indian side (at Charonda Village near Uri) to the Pakistani side to be with her sons and thus exposing the porous borders along the heavily militarized zone<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">India-Pakistan: Escalating Tensions<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"><!--\n@page { margin: 0.79in } \t\tP { margin-bottom: 0.08in; direction: ltr; color: #000000; widows: 0; orphans: 0 } \t\tP.western { font-family: \"Liberation Serif\", \"Times New Roman\", serif; font-size: 12pt; so-language: en-US } \t\tP.cjk { font-family: \"DejaVu Sans\"; font-size: 12pt; so-language: zh-CN } \t\tP.ctl { font-family: \"Lohit Hindi\"; font-size: 12pt; so-language: hi-IN } \t\tA:link { so-language: zxx }\n--><\/style>\n<p lang=\"en-US\"><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #000000;\">This sparked off a flurry of activity on the Indian side with the construction of observation bunkers along the LOC at Charonda that was barred according to the cease fire agreement signed between India and Pakistan in 2003. Predictably this action on the Indian side was met by warnings from the Pakistani side, later followed by firing and shelling along the border that have been on and off ever since. Matters came to a head on 6th January when a Pakistani soldier was shot dead and another critically injured by firing from the Indian side, the details of which remain unclear because of conflicting versions from both the sides.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #000000;\">This sparked off retaliation from the Pakistani army on 8th January crossing the border over to Indian side and brutally killing two soldiers. While the manner of killing of the two Indian troops remains a question mark (given the highly secretive nature of these skirmishes), what has suddenly sparked the jingoistic clamour in India were the reports first in the media and later claims from the Indian government sources that one of the soldiers was beheaded and the other badly mutilated by Pakistani troops.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #000000;\"><strong>BJP trying to bake its Beans!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6125\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6125\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-6125\" alt=\"Cartoon on Arnab Goswami by Satish Acharya\" src=\"http:\/\/socialism.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/AG-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.socialism.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/AG-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.socialism.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/AG-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.socialism.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/AG.jpg 275w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6125\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><\/span><\/a><\/span> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">Cartoon on Arnab Goswami by Satish Acharya<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #000000;\">Leading the charge for a strong Indian retaliation to this army excess by Pakistan have been the Indian mainstream media led by the likes of Arnab Goswami{{1}} &amp; co- well known for their highly vituperative coverage of events that usually borders on right-wing nationalism. While the Congress led UPA{{2}} government have kept a mischievous silence over the whole issue sticking to the time-honoured diplomatic response (the war by other means), on the opposition benches the incident has given the main opposition party \u2013 the communal\/ Hindu nationalistic BJP{{3}} and its ilk, an issue to harp upon to what has been till now a downhill for the party.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #000000;\">The left have tended to stick to their oft repeated dry statements with emphasis on talks on both sides without going much further than that. For instance, the statement of <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mohammed_Yousuf_Tarigami\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Mohammed Yousuf Tarigami<\/span><\/a><\/span>, CPI(M){{4}} secretary of J&amp;K stated \u201c &#8220;The border skirmishes, whatever be the cause, risk the prosperity and security of two countries that have far more in common than areas of suspicion and discard,&#8221; sounds nothing more than a statement of the capitalist establishment which is only worried about the &#8211; growth, prosperity and profits!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #000000;\">With the LOC continuing to remain tense, the diplomatic war continues. While on a seemingly broader plane there appears to be efforts to normalize &#8216;status quo&#8217; relationship as it existed previously, there are forces on both the sides who would not mind a low scale war given the tumultuous period both the regions are going through presently. The diplomatic relations have not been the same since the Mumbai <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/socialism.in\/index.php\/mumbai-mayhem\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">attacks<\/span><\/a><\/span> on November 2008. The recent visit by the Pakistani Interior minister \u2013 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rehman_Malik\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Rehman Malik<\/span><\/a><\/span> in December 2012 was perceived by one and all as huge flop show from the very beginning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #000000;\">With the Pakistani army bogged down in an internal war along its western border, the threat of jihadist\/ Islamic fundamentalism looming large and an economy that is close to collapse, analysts may wonder whether it has the stomach to conduct even a low scale war along its eastern front on the issue of Kashmir. Given the fault-lines between the so called civilian government of Zardari\/ PPP{{5}} and the Army\/ ISI{{6}}, the army backed by reactionary elements within the establishment may decide to act on their own in a desperate attempt to salvage national opinion on the issue of Kashmir to divert the attention of the masses from the hell hole that is Pakistan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #000000;\">From the Indian establishment point of view, while the government has been talking tough diplomatically speaking, it remains to be seen how things evolve. While an all out war is ruled out as things stand out at present, but the ruling establishment may not be averse to continuing with the low scale exchanges of fire across the border or even a full scale diplomatic war such as breaking off relations with Pakistan so as to project Pakistan as an eternal enemy and sponsor of terrorism\/ fundamentalism, as a build up to next year elections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #000000;\">This would very much suit the Indian establishment given the absolute trust deficit it suffers as a result of its hugely unpopular neo-liberal reforms, massive corruption scandals that has rocked the Indian ruling class in the last 3 years and the recent government handling of the <a href=\"http:\/\/socialism.in\/index.php\/rape-sexual-violence-by-products-of-patriarchy-capitalism\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">rape<\/span><\/a> issue that has completely alienated the salaried middle classes and other sections from the present Congress govt. This is not the first time that the Indian or Pakistani establishment has sought to divert attention of the masses from the more pressing issues on the ground. This is a time tested tactic of divide and rule that both the ruling class have inherited from their British predecessors and they will play it to the hilt to manipulate public opinions to continue their oppressive rule.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #000000;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/socialism.in\/index.php\/jingoist-propaganda-can-lead-to-war-and-destruction-of-the-region\/indo-pak\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6127\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-6127\" alt=\"indo-pak\" src=\"http:\/\/socialism.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/indo-pak-300x181.png\" width=\"350\" height=\"211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.socialism.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/indo-pak-300x181.png 300w, https:\/\/www.socialism.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/indo-pak.png 516w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/span><\/a>Futility of \u201cTalks\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #000000;\">What this incident has exposed once again is the fragile peace process that can break any-time. The conflict over Kashmir is an inheritance of the British Raj that has deliberately been carried over till the present time to maintain the feudal-capitalist oppression of the masses on both sides of the divide. The story of the old women crossing the border, whose family has been broken because of the conflict, speaks volumes on the countless tragedies that has befallen the people of that region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #000000;\">The ruling classes of both the countries imagine such artificially created divisions between the people can be switched on and off as per their convenience. But the reality is both the countries actually risk a much wider escalation of conflict that gets even more uglier with the huge stockpiles of nuclear weapons that could virtually wipe out the entire South Asian region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #000000;\">While we welcome any genuine initiatives from the people on both sides of the divide to continue with the peace process, we do not believe the oppressive ruling classes of the region genuinely seek peace or what&#8217;s more solve the issue over Kashmir. All the vested interests in the region are threatened by the fact that the heightened political consciousness of the people of Jammu &amp; Kashmir would settle for nothing less than &#8216;freedom&#8217; from all the oppressors around: India, Pakistan and China.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #000000;\">If the ruling classes is genuinely interested in peace, why the increased defence spending every year. For instance, India increased its defence <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_countries_by_military_expenditures\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">spending<\/span><\/a><\/span> in the last year budget to $44 bn (2.7% GDP) ranking it at 8th among the top military spenders, while its Human Development Index <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_countries_by_Human_Development_Index\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">ranks<\/span><\/a><\/span> it at an abysmal 134 way behind some of the poorest countries of the world. The same is true for Pakistan as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #000000;\">Capitalism which should have long ago solved the national question, or the land question for that matter, has outlived its usefulness and today capitalism seeks to profit itself from these very national divisions. One major beneficiary are the multinational defence industries that have hugely benefited from the increasing budgetary allocation every year towards defence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #000000;\"><strong>Brutal Indian Military Occupation<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #000000;\">Kashmir Valley has been under brutal military occupation since the popular uprising that erupted against Indian Rule in 1989. This \u201cparadise on earth\u201d has turned into a valley of blood. At least 40,000 people have been killed since insurgency began in 1989, according to conservative estimates. Unofficially the estimates are well over 80,000 and over half of them civilians. Thousands of Indian soldiers have been killed and it costs crores of rupees to keep the security forces in Kashmir.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #000000;\">The Indian government has promulgated the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/socialism.in\/index.php\/category\/manipur\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">AFSPA<\/span><\/a><\/span>), which gives the army unlimited powers. They can shoot to kill, arrest at will and invade the privacy of homes without warrant or showing any reason. This has resulted in innumerable cases of human rights abuses as the army fears no law and in fact, in Kashmir and areas of North Eastern India, the army is the law!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span
