Special representatives of India and China finally got engaged to yet again agree to disengage troops at the border flash points. The raucous, intimidatory ‘nationalist’ brigade, aptly nicknamed Bhakt , are subdued. They are in a fix whether to distribute ladoos and take out victory processions for Bharat Mata or continue with their bellicose public posturing. Their dilemma primarily stems from none other than the definitive assertion of Mr Modi, PM, in whom they see a Lord Krishna with Sudarshan Chakra incarnate,
न कोई हमारी सीमा में घुसा है, न ही हमारी कोई पोस्ट किसी दूसरे के कब्जे में है : नरेंद्र मोदी
For, if and when disengagement does take place ( it was agreed to earlier in the first week of May too) the Chinese would be moving a step back within their ‘own’ territory by our PM’s assertion. In the fine prints of the separate communiques issued by the two sides one hears echoes of this affirmation. While the Chinese speak of peace and tranquility with resolve to protect sovereignty over their claimed territories , India does it sans reiteration of its own territorial claims. It seeks refuge in the comforting obfuscation of semantics. When the location of LAC itself is in dispute , India’s call to respect LAC is just self-deluding diplomatese. It only reaffirms Chinese claims via the disowning statement of PM.
Such an anomalous situation is also a gross insult to the memory of the brave jawans who fought valiantly to uproot Chinese structures in Galwan. It makes them intruders into Chinese territory rather than defenders of our Dharti Mata. Puts bhakts in a spot. Therefore what cheer can there be for bhakts in this disengagement. One does empathise with them. As if sitting on the horns of a dilemma wasn’t enough , China simultaneously claims land on Bhutan Ladakh border.
