Conclusions from Pehelgam and after

Most of these conclusions are only reinforcements of things we always knew. Some of these conclusions are new. 

Pakistan is a terrorist state. 

Islam fosters terrorism. It is not "radical" Islam or "jehadi" islam that is the problem. Islam itself is the problem. 

There are no permanent friends and permanent enemies in global politics. 

India has to be self reliant in defence. 

China is highly advanced in defence equipment.

Much of Chinese supremacy in defence is overstated. 

Yes, both the above are true at the same time. 

US is an undependable ally. US is a  sponsor of regimes which sponsor terror. 

No one, repeat, no one, wants to see India become powerful. 

If Congress had been in power, we would have succumbed to Covid blackmail and defence blackmail. A large part of our wealth would have been sent to the Pharma lobby and the defence lobby. We would continue to be poor and meek and taken for granted. 

If Congress had been in power, Pakistan would have got more and more emboldened. And their  blackmail would have continued.

Kirana Hills shook the world, literally and figuratively. 

The Nuclear bluff of Pakistan is finished once and for all. 

India is becoming  self reliant in defence. Atmanirbhar Bharat is not merely a slogan. 

"Nationalist government" is a God send. All governments need to be nationalist. But that word Nationalist is treated like a bad word, just like Islamophobe. There is nothing bad about being Nationalist or being  Islamophobe. 

India has shifted the narrative. No one questions that Pakistan is a terrorist state. 

Our so called celebrities, both Bollywood and Cricket are shameless mercenaries with no values or principles. People need to realise that at least now. 

The only way to put down a bully is to stand up to him and pummel him. 

We have kept the door open for further pummeling Pakistan. There will be more terror attacks. They can't and will not stop. We will have to attack them again. Next time, they will be better prepared. 

Having Pakistan as a neighbour is like having a permanent maggot festering on your body. You are screwed either way, whether you kill them or let them live. 

The Indian government played the escalation and de escalation cards brilliantly. 

BJP needs to come to power for another three terms for India to progress.  Because they are Nationalist.
