The Raymond Davis affair truly captures the current situation, predicament, of Pakistan like no other has done in therecent past. A perplexing incident that leaves more questions unanswered than it reveals. The shadowy operationsthat the Pakistani intelligence agencies undertake with their counterparts from the United States of America. The loss

of Pakistani lives in circumstances that were as mysterious as they are avoidable. Then the whole drama about the legal

status of Raymond Davis, diplomatic or otherwise. Passions heightened by the selectivity of media leaks that ranged fromthe conspiratorial to the bizarre. Vast public participation in the case as a daily dose of legalese, international relations andnational security affairs. A last minute change of legal representatives for the victim families. And the closing chapter inwhich the acquittal happened by recourse to Sharia law that has the country in a bind in any case. All of this nally endedwith the ight out of Pakistan for Raymond Davis and family members of those that died from his gunre.

All of this happened in the bright glare of media attention, but for the nal closing chapter that was cloaked in a dramaticdenouement that would have put even the most addicted conspiracy theorists to shame. There was a hype about the casethat had the entire country riveted, even shutting out those that spoke for a different approach to relations with the greatest

benefactor of Pakistan, the United States of America. The shrillness of the campaign to punish Raymond Davis was led byintelligence briengs and leaks to the media that bordered on being completely off the wall. Why a CIA contractor wouldwant to take photographs of Pakistan army bunkers on the Indian border when better resolution images are available onUS military satellites! This was amongst the more bizarre leaks that the Pakistani agencies indulged in. All the while raisinghopes amongst the Pakistani public that their country was not going to succumb to the sustained pressure of the US to releasea CIA contractor caught for murder. But all the while various organisations, institutions and families in Pakistan were quietlycutting a deal with powers in Washington.

Amongst the more fantastic allegations ying around web world is the one about the Director General of the ISI getting yetanother extension on account of this deal. He was clearly in the picture as negotiations began to unravel a seriously vexing

issue. As were the two main political parties in Pakistan, who joined hands with the army leadership in nding a way out ofthis maze. The judiciary were in the loop, of course. And a lawyer to do the nal bidding with the families. None of this wasin the know of the people of Pakistan, who had been fed on strange stories about Pakistani bunkers being compromised et al.Since Sharia law was used to arrive at a settlement even the highly vocal mullahs cant say much about it. There were dealswith various players, but for the people of Pakistan and that is the reality of that country today.

SHATHE SHATHYAM SAMACHARET: TIT FOR TAT!

Is the Islamic Republic of Pakistan really a pak (pious) Stateas it was visualised by its progenitor Mohammad Ali Jinnah?It was crafted out of India with a vision of establishing a much

better nation-State, a haven for t he Muslims of the sub-continent,but what the world is witnessing today is a mockery of all that isIslamic, humane and inclusive.

What progress has Pakistan made in the last 64 years of itsexistence? Not much. In fact it stands (singularly alone amongthe comity of nations) on the brink of becoming a failed State.Ominous clouds look down upon Pakistan menacingly and it

has reached that stage of dark existence where everybody is looking for some silver lining.All in vain. Right from its inception till date the scenario has been worsening by the dayfor one reason or the other. It has now reached a stage where there is little hope of anytransformation or recovery at all.

There is no signicant development in any sector in the last six decades whether it iseducation or health, industry or business. There have been no new measures taken by any ofthe past or present governments for the welfare and well-being of the people in any manner.

The education and the health sectors are so weak and dogma ridden that they have beenhijacked by the fundamentalists to create a new breed of Muslims who are bloodthirsty andbereft of the milk of human kindness that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) sought to create byhis teachings.

As a consequence the only industry that has ourished in the past decades is that ofterrorism which is thriving in Pakistan. All the previous governments and the present onehave contributed by acts of commission and omission to the promotion of the businessof terrorism which has now attained global proportions. It has become a multinationalcorporation in every sense of the term. All the politicians, defence personnel, bureaucratsand diplomats have become purveyors of the cult of terrorism as is seen in the mannerin which they singly and collectively spring to the defence of the terrorist and try to

justify the existence of this cult and his/her acts with such coinage as Islamophobia andMuslim-baiters.

Today, Pakistan and terrorism have become synonymous and innocent Muslims all overthe world suffer the consequences of an image that has been superimposed on Islam forgeopolitical, not spiritual, purposes. This state of affairs is a matter of great concern for thewhole world as it is affecting everyone. The masterminds propagating the cult of violenceand terrorism spend time and big money researching and developing the most potentdevices and products like jihad, human bombs and terrorism which are being shipped toall parts of the world. And India being the neighbour and a peace loving country is affectedthe most. We have seen the conspiracies being hatched and implemented by Pakistan onmany occasions and we are really disturbed because of this. Thousands of Indians havebeen sacriced in the macabre mechanisations and ill-advised conceit relentlessly pursuedby Pakistan.

How long can India keep suffering and forgiving? How long can India wait for Pakistanto realise the futility of its self-destructive ambition? The time has come for India to act.And act decisively. What are we waiting for? The most opportune time?Are we scared ofthe international community or we are scared that if we take strong steps against Pakistanthen the Arab world is going to stop all oil supplies to India? Lets take a rm decision nowotherwise these attacks on India will never stop.

We are witnessing what is going on in the Arab world. They themselves are in bad shapeand we should not be scared of imagined consequences. India must not delay nding apermanent solution to the Pakistani menace. Whatever the cost. Lets not waste our energy,time and money on Pakistani nationals like Kasab or Pakistan-indoctrinated and motivatedanti-nationals like Afzal Guru and make them pay for their crimes against our motherland.

Lets pray for the well-being of the State of Pakistan and its people but be prepared toannihilate its non-State actors and other perpetrators of crimes against India and peaceloving Indians.

Jai Hind!

Islamic nukes: global implications

Kargil has shown that there is space beneath thenuclear overhang for a limited war. But that episode alsounderscored that such a limited war places unacceptablerestrictions on manoeuvre as a means to bring about a swiftand successful culmination of a military campaign. Thisleaves India at a disadvantage in the face of both Pakistanand Chinas attempts at salami slicing and nibbling ofterritory all along the Himalayas. It is also necessary to beabundantly clear that there have been freelance contactsbetween Pakistans nuclear scientists and military personnelwith the masterminds of terrorism to coordinate and strategise

their respective roles and, like Kargil illustrated, there isno sanctity of any written agreement and one will have toplay it by ear if and when the crunch comes.

Today, more than ever, Pakistans geographical position isbringing in geopolitical dividends far beyond what it receivedin the Cold War years. The amazing aspect is not that thebillions of dollars shovelled by the US into Pakistani coffershave grown exponentially but that it is happening in theteeth of unparalled Islamic fundamentalism baring its fangsboth inside Pakistan and in neighbouring Afghanistan. TheUS-sponsored Global War On Terror appears to be in reversegear, adding to the general perception that the US is a nationin decline.

Prof. P. M. Kamath


PAK-US RELATIONSinternational terrorism, since Talibanwhich ruled Afghanistan refused tohand over Al Qaeda supreme leader,Osama bin Laden to the US. Onceagain, geopolitical location of Pakistanhelped it to come closer to the US.

Locational advantage

Thus, Pakistans relations with theUS since its birth have been a matter of

mutual convenience never based on anylasting principles. And the fundamentalprinciple propelling to two together hasbeen Pakistans geopolitical location.Stephen Cohen, an American experton Pakistan never gets tired of sayingthat US leans on Pakistan becauseof its geopolitical location. He addsfurther pepper to salt by stating that ifthat crucial territory was with India, itwould have been critical to American

interest in Persian Gulf!

Global war on terrorism

As stated earlier, George W. Bushwas forced to cement an alliance withPakistan, soon after 9/11 primarilyto seek a launching pad againstTaliban-ruled Afghanistan and captureOsama bin Laden, mastermind behind9/11 attacks alive or dead. During

The civilian government has not been able to improve respect for human rights in Pakistan.Mullahs are setting the goal of orthodox Islamic rule as evident in kill ing of Punjabs GovernorSalmaanTaseer and Shabaz Bhatti, Islamabads minister for minority affairs for their criticismof controversial Blasphemy Law and support to a more liberal and tolerant society. Though thevictims were members of the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party, government has been impotentagainst those preaching religious intolerance. The US has neither condemned Pakistansmove towards religious intolerance nor for its human rights violations!




10/50

Much as the rest of the world has a distinctly negative impression of the

Pakistan army, the people (both politicians and others) have a love-hate

relationship with their hatchet-arm. It is not for nothing that the Pakistan army

Inter-Services Intelligence is the nucleus of Pakistans jihadist tendencies.

Every civilian politician from Qaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah down to

current Head of State Asif Ali Zardari have depended on it at crucial moments

of Pakistans turbulent history. The iconic Benazir Bhutto found great comfort

in the troika arrangement in which the army played the puppet master from

behind the scene. The Zardari - Gilani combine dare not repeal the Blasphemy

Law till the army nods approval. Zardaris early comments on Kashmir have

met with stony silence in General HQ and every attempt to whitewash the

terror-stained image of Pakistan has been stonewalled by the army be it Indias

Mumbai carnage or Americas Times Square zzler.

While Kayani has ostensibly maintained a hands off approach, the army still calls the shotson Pakistans Kashmir and nuclear policies, does not allow any meddling in senior levelappointments and the annual budget and follows its own policy in dealing with the Taliban inAfghanistan. The situation is unlikely to improve till the 5,50,000 strong army is cut to sizein keeping with Pakistans legitimate national security requirements

an amo rphou s i d ea With no greater rationale for its existence than the false assumption that allMuslims wanted a separate nation-State, Pakistan tried to scavange on India

by seeking a resonance among those who opted to remain within a Union of

India by encouraging rst the Sikhs to create a Khalistan so that the two-nation

theory can gain some post ipso facto legitimacy. The frequent attempts to delink

the Muslim-majority Kashmir Valley is based on that same illegitimate logic

hence the recurrent need to inltrate and coerce the local population leading

to a series of wars that have only left Pakistan dismembered and stewing in its

own juice.


Security of the citizens at peace time is very importantbecause State is the only saviour of the men and womenwho get affected only because of the negligence of the State.

Pakistan 2020: possible scenarios


There has long been a perception in some quarters in Indiaas well as among Pakistans friends that if India panders toPakistans demands, especially concessions in Kashmir, therewill be peace and tranquillity between the two countries.That this perception militates against the experience ofEurope and its accommodation of Hitlers lebensraumconcept has been lost on the protagonists of this perniciousidea. Peace and tranquillity depends on a radical change ofheart in the Pakistani military establishment, which, as longas it has jihadist elements holding the levers of power - theso-called moderate in the military as Musharraf portrayed

himself is an oxymoron (Kargil happened because of him) -Indians should not allow themselves to be deluded by suchstrategic thinkers.


16/50

In incidents of terrorism from a high


Despite the overwhelming indicators of a variety of internal and external forces at play there

is too much emphasis on Indo-Pakistan dtente as a solution to the latters structural crisis. As

the scenarios built indicate there is more to Pakistans debility than its differences with India.

While this is not an argument against engagement of Pakistan, there is a need to highlight that

this will have limited impact on the overall effort to positively restructure Pakistans trajectory

towards 2020. The main change has to come from within

18/50

The Pakistan nation is in a state of stasis, petried by the Islamicfundamentalist Frankenstein it has handfed and burnished sinceZia-ul Haq inducted a Saudi Arabian midwife to raise a newCaliphate. To expect the Pakistan army to rectify itself is likeasking the Devil to read the scriptures. It has, in fact, shown all thesigns of being the eunuch-bodyguard of the seraglio consistingof the Al Qaeda, the Taliban and its several splinter groups andthe United Jihad Council onetime frontline ghters againstthe Soviet army in Afghanistan. The US will do itself and theworld a favour if it, even at this late stage of the Af-Pak farce,shuts off all military aid to the Pakistan army.

China has created in Pakistan a proxy that has reached a stateof hallucination by the frequent infusion of opiates likenuclear weapons and missiles. It is not just a danger to thenation-States around it, more particularly India, but is fastreaching the stage of critical implosion brought about by the

combustible mix of jihad and nuclear weapons. Chinese policyin Pakistan is turning out to be as dangerous as the American useof Islamist fundamentalists against the Soviet occupying forcesin Afghanistan in the 80s.

nuke s : j i h ad i h and on t r i g g e r?The recent slaying of the provincial governor of Punjaband minister for Minority Affairs by the diehard Islamicfundamentalists brought to the fore what was till then onlya subliminal fear of the direction in which the Pakistanisociety was drifting. Now it is out in the open that the jihadis

have taken control of the soul of Jinnahs Pakistan and theso-called moderates in civil society are so intimidatedthat their contribution to the national debate is both mutedand ignored. The west has only itself to blame not just forinternational proliferation of nuclear weapons throughPakistan but also the looming possibility that the progeny ofthe madrassas could lay their hands on Pakistans nukes.

It is often easily forgotten that the radicalisation ofPakistan began with the Pakistan army. That was thecradle in which military dictator Zia-ul Haq incubated theSaudi Arabian version of Wahabism. Three decades is ageneration in any heirarchical establishment so it shouldbe expected that the current GHQ is made up completely ofdyed-in-the-wool jihadis. The man who shot the governor ofthe Punjab province for his liberal views is not the exceptionbut the existing widespread reality of Pakistan.

Dr. Arvind Kumar

ba l l i s t i c m iss i l e capab i l i t yWith a nuclear arsenal already touted to be larger than Indias(more than 100 compared to Indias 60 plus) the expandingrange of Pakistans delivery systems is intended to cover mostof the Indian hinterland. If India is to remain credible withits minimum deterrence it must be able to hit several Chinese

vital areas Beijing, Shanghai and its bustling ports on thePacic seaboard. Pakistan, with its measley strategic depth(even if it places its assets in Afghanistan and Iran) would becovered in toto. Concommitantly, a ballistic missile defencecapable of exo-atmosphere interception at a greater heightwill be a gamechanger in its own right.

Even as Pakistan is feverishly enlarging its nuclear weaponsstockpile it has built up a huge echelon of sub-conventionalnon-State actors with a jihadi bent of mind to counter Indiasconventional forces. More and more it is this sub-conventionalforce led and directed by regular army ofcers that is used toprovoke India with terrorist attacks in the sure knowledge thatIndia will not cross the international border or even the Line ofControl to ease the pressure out of apprehension about Pakistansnuclear weapons.

Indias moves to further the Peace Dialogue with Pakistan and attempts by India to resolve

issues, are thwarted by Pakistan's army as it would lose primacy. Even when Prime Minister

Yousuf Raza Gillani met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in Thimphu in April 2010, the

discussion on resumption of dialogue between India and Pakistan was hopeful when Gillani

said he would ensure that the perpetrators of the 26/11 Mumbai attack would be punished

and added, "The army supports me," but the reality was different. Soon thereafter vitriolic

statements emanated from Pakistan and vitiated the atmosphere




28/50

Pakistans game plan in Afghanistan has all the hallmarks of Fascist Germanys

lebensraum gambit. In a yearning for strategic depth Hitler transformed the

German people into Fascists just as Pakistan has created a talibanised society in

Pakistan and in the Afghan hinterland with the avowed intention of extending

that ideology into the former Communist Soviet Union. If America and its

allies have to win the global war on terror they must stamp it out in Pakistan

and not encourage the application of the concept on landlocked Afghanistan.

But one repurcussion of the Pakistani game plan - which the military establishment inRawalpindi is seemingly not serious about - is the country's own peril. As it is seen from theongoing violence in different parts of Pakistan emanating from its own terrorists and otherorganisations which the successive military and political leadership helped create, the countryhas been engulfed in the clutches of the fundamentalists and extremists and is on the vergeof implosion from within

GSA Exhibitions organised the fourth successful Global Security Asia 2011 at Singapore from

15-17 March, 2011. It was an International Exhibition and Conference on Homeland Security

and the theme for GSA 2011 was Prevention and Protection Safeguarding People, Property and

Infrastructure.

The GSA show was very well organised by team GSA. The excellent oor plan was superbly executed

ensuring easy visibility and prominence to each and every Booth.

GSA serves the International Community and presents a platform for Industry, Governments and

Security professionals to interact and develop solutions to build their respective Security structures

and platforms to protect their borders and infrastructure to counter the ongoing threat of Terrorism

and civil unrest.

The leading international magazine Defence and Security Alert (DSA) was the ofcial media

partner for GSA 2011.

DSA Booth at GSA 2011 was the centre of attraction and attracted dignitaries, visitors and industry

professionals like a magnet. DSA was the most popular and sought after industry magazine at

GSA 2011. Its world class content, presentation and overall production quality were appreciated by all

especially the industry professionals.

All the International participants showed great interest in India and expressed keen desire to promote

and project their products, technologies and services in the booming Indian market. Many of them

discussed with teamDSA their plans to enter the Indian market usingDSA platform to advertise and

showcase their products and services.

Team DSA gratefully acknowledges and thanks Mr. Roger Marriott, Chairman,

Mr. Andrew Marriott, MD and Ms. Sandy Wong of GSA Exhibitions Pte. Ltd. for providing this

opportunity and exposure toDSA in the Asia Pacic region and for their wholehearted support and

generous hospitality during GSA 2011.

Very much in the manner in which the US has helped create andsustain a jihadi terrorist network centred in Pakistan and is sufferingthe consequences by such acts as the 9/11 attack on its economicand military hubs another, more dangerous, phenomenon is in themaking. The willful and mindboggling denial of Chinas role inglobal proliferation of nuclear weapons and the means of delivery ofnuclear warheads in Asia and the Pacic has already burgeoned intoNorth Koreas overt threats to use nuclear weapons if the US assertedits authority in its adjoining seas. China has revised its nucleardoctrine to make it clear that if what it perceives as its nationalinterests are threatened it will not hesitate to use nuclear weapons(in the context of Jammu and Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh). This

read with the stasis recently demonstrated by Pakistans civil societyin the face of jihadi terrorism over the Blasphemy laws ought to drivesome sense into American heads. They will not need to send to askfor whom the bell tolls. It tolls for them.

R A M R A H I M P A R E S H A N !Among the questions that prick peoples minds thesedays on the sub-continent is whether trying to forge aconsensus among the nations of the inadequately described

South Asia be an exercise in putting Humpty-Dumptytogether again. All of Indias neighbours profess a fear of beingovershadowed by India in a Europe-like conglomeration. IfFrance and Germany can now hit it off together (like a houseon re!) cannot India, Pakistan and Bangladesh take somesteps towards greater trade and commerce if not the dreadedconfederation that was once mentioned and shot down?


South Asia is akin to a horse. Indiathinks it is on the saddle. Chinacontrols the reins. Pakistan uses

unending quest for parityIt is a fact of history and relations between nations thatthere is always an element of rivalry or competition in themanagement of their interaction. It is out of the necessity of

evolving such relationships that great minds like Chanakyaand Clausewitz and Bismarck and even the much-reviledHitler developed strategies to deal with issues of war andof peace. Pakistan, having been part of India for centuries,has not had time to bring forth an eminence grise who couldchart a future for the nation-State within the context of goodneighbourliness. Jinnahs legacy of the two-nation theorycarried within itself the seeds of rivalry and divisiveness thatwere like poison in potency. Pakistan may well succumb tothe gall of disappointments vis-a-vis India that it has had toexperience in its short history of existence.

stradd l ing the crossroadsPakistan has taken full advantage of straddling the conuenceof lines of communication and egress on the roof of theworld. It was not for nothing that the Great Game betweenTsarist Empire and the British Raj of control and dominationwas played out through its territory long before Pakistanitself became a reality. How much it can become a benigninuence and contribute towards the goal of a multipolarworld is, as yet, a work in progress. The potential is therebut the circumstances of its birth, its descent into Islamicfundamentalist depths and its congenital enmity with Indiamay yet circumscribe its role.

Indias concern in the strategic factors of the region is natural. Pakistan is a continuation oflarge Indian mass and was separated artificially through an imaginary line. India remainsdeeply interested in the developments taking place in Afghanistan and Central Asian Republicsbecause of deep cultural, psychological, emotional, economic and political relationship. Wecannot forget the historical fact that the Muslim and Mughal invaders came through theKhyber Pass. Even earlier than that from 1,500 BC the country was invaded by Aryans, Greeksand Persians. Arabs arrived in the AD 700, bringing the Muslim religion with them. All thesehistorical developments took place through the territories which now comprise Pakistan. We,therefore, share the strategic concerns with Pakistan in this region and because of this reasonalone a strategic partnership between India and Pakistan is called for

Always be aware and alert.

Install and maintain proper re alarms and smoke detectors with automatic dialing facility. Also store the phone

numbers of nearest re station, ambulance and your mobile number in the automatic dialing facility.

Install re exit doors on every oor of the building.

Install re extinguishers on the lobby of every oor.

Have regular re drills to train all residents and family members in handling re emergencies, understand evacuation

plans and recognise sound of re alarms.

Get all your belongings and home suitably insured.

Check the gas nozzles every night and keep them in the switched-off mode.

When an electric or electronic gadget is not in use, make sure it is unplugged.

Ensure that electric wiring is done by qualied and certied electrical contractors.

Always insist on and install safety electrical devices like MCB / ELCB switches etc.

Teach and educate children / youngsters the do's and don'ts in case of a re emergency.

Plan and x the assembly point and inform everyone.

Take extra precaution during festivals and monitor children when bursting re crackers etc.

Always be aware and alert.

Do not panic.

Call the city / locality re service and ambulance immediately.

Feed the re emergency numbers in the speed dial of the re alarm systems for immediate communication.

Alert all the family members and neighbours / residents without creating panic.

Never use the lift during a re in your building or apartment. Leave the premises by the nearest available exit as quickly

as you can using the staircase.

If you are trapped in your room or building during a re try to stop the smoke and re from getting into your room. Use

wet towels, blankets or spare clothes to block the gaps in the doors and open all windows.

If your clothes catch re, drop yourself down and roll on the ground. Do not panic or run, it will make the re burn faster

and lead to more injuries or burns.

When trying to escape from a room engulfed with smoke, protect yourself from choking. Crawl through the room on your

knees, as cool and clean air can be found a few inches from the oor.

The endgame in Afghanistan remains obscure given that theUS-led global war on terror has not achieved its objectives eitherinside Afghanistan or against the jihadi diaspora. One thing is clear,the mid 2011 deadline for withdrawal is impracticable and couldeasily lend itself to the interpretation that it is a defeat of the US. Bytrying to invest greater trust on Pakistan as the arbiter in Afghanistan,the US may extricate itself locally but there is no guarantee that theglobalised jihadi would declare a ceasere and come to terms withAmerican hegemony.

82 April 2011 DEfENcE AND SEcURiTY ALERT


45/50


Moscows engagement with Islamabad can best be describedas realpolitik in the face of the threat of Chechen and Islamicfundamentalists to the Russian heartland as well as theCentral Asian region. It grows out of a realisation that bothglobal terrorism as well as nuclear proliferation have theirepicentre in Pakistan and Moscow cannot but be chary ofChechens getting their hands on Pakistani nuclear knowhowand materials. Also, there can be no gainsaying the fact thatPakistans location straddles the pathway that Russian oiland gas can traverse to India. Much depends on Pakistansability to deliver on the global war on terrorism, especially

after the US begins its withdrawal from Afghanistan. If andwhen the Taliban returns to Kabul, Moscow will need arestaining hand to prevent the mullahs from inltrating theMuslim-dominated Central Asian Republics and threatenMoscow itself.
