When the dense smoke seized mortal shots through the control line on Friday, the military columns of 23 countries were paying tribute to the Red Square of Moscow to the 27 million fallen men and women of the USSR that defeated Nazi Germany, captured Berlin and forced Hitler to shoot himself. If the residents of the south of Asia were more pleasantly committed than pursuing a destructive campaign with each other, thought is too attractive to ignore that Indian and Pakistani troops would perhaps march in the couple with Chinese, Russian, Uzbek, Egyptian and other comrades to seek a new world order for equitable peace and sustainable prosperity. However, there are powerful antibodies stalking the possibility.
Fortunately, the fires have been soaked in southern Asia at least for now, although they were soaked by the most incendiary nation of the world that once wielded the sleeve of fire. In spite of everything, his macho victory cries for the claims of damage that were inflicted with each other in the midst of a sample of pain and value, India and Pakistan found themselves supported by foreign shoulders once again to solve an essentially bilateral problem, which illustrates not for the first time that they have not reached adulthood to fill the fate of a destination of the Billion souls. Negotiated peace, however, links the tragedy in Pahalgam with a world of power policy.
Be optimistic that the meaningless outbreak was not caused by about four mysterious hate intervals that were presented to kill innocent men in Pahalgam only to disappear without trace (until now) in one of the most militarized and monitored places in the world. That the quartet called the religion of its victims became a tool to benefit from the proven identity policy game. Remember that in the 2002 community butcher shop in Gujarat, after a tragedy in the train fire in Godhra, Pakistan was the first appointed as the defendant; Only later mobs unleashed in unsuspecting Muslims.
Religious policy in southern Asia of the Hindu-Musulmano variety was encouraged in deep failures by colonialism as protection against another 1857 survey. ‘Divide et prevails’ called it. Saadat Hasan Manto captured religious frenzy in several short stories that accompanied the violent creation of India and Pakistan. ‘Error’ was a story about the murder of a wrong man, the error discovered when his body was stripped and revealed that he belonged to the murderer’s community. The popular Indian leader who applies the identity policy to obtain unexpected electoral profits did not exist at that time. But he has spoken in a simpler way by which one could identify Muslims for his outfit. (And therefore, also discover non -Muslims). Pahalgam’s monsters lost the trick or may need an audio track for their crime.
Moscow and Beijing have found a growing number of applicants around the world anxious to join the coalition against Western hegemony.
Pahalgam retreated, and you can find a lighter action reaction pattern. Pahalgam generated a third military confrontation to involve a BRICS member. It could not be a coincidence that Iran and Russia, key pillars of the multipolar world that is coming, are in the sight of the West. Unlike the military crisis that Iran faces, which has increased as a powerful symbol for the global south, or Russia, a founding leader of BRICS, who sees itself as an axis for a multipolar future and, therefore, it seeks to be “weakened” by the West through a War of Proxy, the conflict in the south of Asia, the conflict in the south of the southern BRICS is more diabetically disrupted. India, a founding member of BRICS, meets with the idea of his rival of southern Asia, who joins the immensely powerful group. India is a prominent member of BRICS, but is increasingly perceived as her weak link. Pakistan, on the other hand, being a burning supporter of BRICS, can become a complete member only if India does not obstruct the way. Therefore, Pahalgam’s terrorist attack on April 22 can be explored as a trigger to sow seeds of discord in the ranks of the Global South and, therefore, BRICS.
The celebrations of the Mesmeric Victory Day in the Red Square in Moscow marked a crucial moment for BRICS, the group that terrifies Donald Trump and with which Russia and China are pressing feverishly. Moscow and Beijing have found an unexpectedly large and growing number of applicants from all over the world eager to join the coalition against Western hegemony that controls their political and economic lives. He attended the Red Square to encourage the spectacular boato there were heavyweights from the south of the southern global. Xi Jinping, of course, but not to be ignored were his comrades of Cuba, Venezuela, Brazil, Egypt, Belarus, practically the whole lot of Central Asia, but also notably, Malaysia, Myanmar and Vietnam of the Southeast Asian flank. The bosses of Serbia and Slovakia, who is a member of NATO, broke the ranks with their western caregivers to attend.
The African leaders rejoiced and cheered when Vladimir Putin made a memorable sample of music and color that gave a new cadence to the great elaboration. Stanley Kubrick’s impressive military columns come to mind in the Howard Fast Spartacus film version. The film was written by the former head of the United States Communist Party as an ode to the slave lift against the powerful Roman empire. The similarity with Friday’s participation was that these soldiers were also celebrating the defeat of a racist regime. Do not miss the smiling face of Vladimir Lenin printed in red flags in March. After a long time, the communist hammer and hoz emblem shone through the march columns.
Missing, not unpredictable, of the celebrations was Narendra Modi. He had decided to give up the event months before the shots war with Pakistan. With the emergence of Donald Trump, India has been perceived as late to consolidate BRICS as a challenge for the West. Only for this, Modi was the winner last week, even if Pakistan claims to have fought a better war.
