India's Freedom Part 2

• This is continuation of  Part 1
• Where the Mongols laid waste to Baghdad.
• Even Arabs suffered greatly at the hands of Mongols and Arabs could not gain prominence in the world for hundreds of years until "Lawrence of Arabia" came along and Oil was discovered in large quantities.
• Ottoman Empire growth which flourished for more than 500 years is also linked to the decline of Arabs.
• Hence the equation is not that simple as Hindu vs Muslim.
• It is actually ethnicity vs ethnicity.
• Like Michael Jackson said in his song "Black or White" "where your blood comes from...races".
• After 16th or 17th Centuries the Europeans came along and they saw the internal strifes and struggles between the peoples and kingdoms in the Indian subcontinent and slowly but surely they thought to exploit these weaknesses.
• After Nadir Shah invasion from Iran (incidentally Iran also rose after descendants of Mongols rose through destroying the old order), Mughal empire declined.
• Sikh religion was formed over two hundred years from 15th Century. There were 10 Gurus of Sikhism
• Sikhism was a middle path. Neither it was Hindu, nor Buddhist, nor Islam.
• It incorporated different aspects of the religions and made a new one. 
• 11th Guru of Sikhism is the holy book Guru Granth Sahib. It has to be judiciously followed by Sikhism followers.
  
• Following decline of Mughal empire, Sikh empire and down south Maratha Empire emerged.
• Problems with Kashmir have their origins since that time i.e. age of Sikh Empire.
• Then beginning from Bengal and Battle of Plassey and Battle of Buxar, British came to rule the subcontinent of India almost single handedly.
• They could manage to keep French, Portuguese limited to few enclaves and keep rest of the Colonial powers out including most European for hundreds of years and Japanese during the second World War.
• The British also kept Russians out through proxy war in Afghanistan. It is known as Great Game
• What borders the British drew are now the borders of India and Pakistan.
• Then in 1947 India became free but it truly became free in 1950 when Constitution was adopted.
• But still it was not "free" in true sense as it was forced to contribute troops and medical personnel to Korean War.
• But when Korean war went to stalemate, India under Nehru sought to adopt an independent "non-aligned" policy. Non-Alignment
  
• In 1962 war between India and China happened and that was the last straw for Nehru Non Aligned approach and Panchseel Agreement. He could not take it and died. 
• We can say from end of Korean War to 1962 War with China. For these 8 years only India was truly 'free'. Even before that China had invaded Tibet in 1959. And India had accepted the Tibetan refugees. Since 1959 peace with China was "under duress" and "under notice". So India was living in a fools paradise by taking on China even indirectly. So for 5 years along India was truly free and independent.
  
• Then 1965 War happened and Pakistan allied itself with United States through CENTO.
• Yes people we have read, just like NATO, there was CENTO (Central Treaty Organization) and SEATO (South East Asia Treaty Organization) in 50's 60's and 70's.
• CENTO was earlier known as Baghdad Pact. It is also an "allied story" that Iraq was totally destroyed by United States after Soviet Union collapsed through Gulf War after Iraq invaded Kuwait.
• So the saying goes "To be an enemy of America can be dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal". Just Look at Iraq.
  
• Indira Gandhi thought that India was unprotected and hence aligned with USSR which is same as Russia.
• Till USSR demise till 1991 India was under Soviets or Russians.
• Then in 1991 there was "Economic Liberalisation" and India came under United States.
• That phase continued till 2014.
• With Sonia Gandhi at the helm of ruling party India looked to be under the grip of Italy or European Union.
• But even Europe is under United States since Second World War.
• What happened in 2014 that European and American influence has waned and India is more and more under the grip of Jews-Israel and Arabs.
• With Arabs and Israel coming together. It is getting more and more normalised as years progress. Israel Arab relations
• So Arabs and Israel will rule India under their proxy Modi.
• India has never been free or "Hindu". It is a myth.
  
• If we look at Pakistan, they are under the grip of more important powers like China or United States. Not like India who under BJP-RSS-Modi are under grip of Israeli-Arab forces.
  
• Let us swallow this bitter pill and get on with our lives.
• And any Hindu-Muslim conflict we see in India is part of the "grand design" to keep the proxies in power.
