Alpesh Patel’s Political Sketchbook: Outgunned, Outmanned, Outmanoeuvred – My Predictions

The women were widowed. Their husbands shot in front of them for being Hindu. The operation was called “Sindoor” because the red marking a woman wears upon marriage is no longer worn upon her husbands death. The word Sindoor was chosen for the operation to say a nation stands with those women. There are many Godesses in the Hindu faith. Some take the form of warriors.
Cowards die many deaths. The brave only once. May the terrorists not yet killed live a long long life. They will die many deaths.
A United Nations designated terrorist confirmed his family was killed in the surgical strikes. Meanwhile those hosting him, as they hosted Bin Laden, celebrate fake news of shooting down the very weapons of justice that they should be celebrating came to liberate them of the terrorists they so often claim of which they are victims.
This is not about national boundaries and international law. For the righteous it’s not about religion. There is a moral Dharmic duty. Dharma. Karma. These are words in a Western vocabulary too. Now we all learned a little bit more about Hindus. It’s why as we commemorate VE Day in Europe, Gandhi, a Hindu, agreed to Indian troops participating in the British Empire’s war effort. Dharma.
We know this is not about religion for one side, because Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Sikh, men and women joined in the anti-terrorist attack. The picture shows Col Sofiya Qureshi. To her I say baarak Allāhu fīk. What does this have to do with the UK? 7/7. And all the other terrorist attacks. Any religion can be hijacked by terrorists probably. Whichever one at this point in time is being hijacked needs the help and making of common cause of all peoples of good will to rid them of the disease. Just as Germany needed ridding of Nazism by both the British, the Empire, the allies, and Germans themselves. For the sake of humanity.
(For full disclosure, my son's nanny is a Pakistani Muslim Kashmiri. The first investor is my hedge fund a Pakistani Muslim and number 1 role model for me. They love their country and faith. For Indians it's about Dharma - VE Day reminds us that).

 

So I will give you some predictions:

 

  1. PM Shariff will end up in prison within 24 months. It’s the Pakistani way.
  2. The Army Chief behind this ‘misadventure’ (oh please stop using that word, and ‘befitting reply’) Asim Munir, will seek exile in Saudi Arabia or UAE in a few years. His successor will also have the same bright idea to send terrorists into Kashmir.
  3. The West will equivocate and with ‘fair and balanced’ wording, instead of stating clearly, Pakistan is a terrorist rogue State. Because they still hold hopes for Afghanistan.
  4. Pakistan in July as Chair of the UN Security Council will use this as a means to focus on their obsession over Kashmir.
  5. Russia will use its veto to block Pakistani UN resolutions. Britain will not, it will abstain.
  6. Israel will be selling more hardware to India. Post 26/11 attacks, I was at the meeting with Lord Mandelson and the Chief Minister of Maharashtra when UK’s desire to sell military defensive hardware came up. Israel was the preferred option.
  7. US will dangle F35 jet sales. Because they’ve got complacent about their national security, thinking they are far from Islamist terrorists.
  8. Chinese satellites and cyber attacks will continue to be used to help the Pakistanis – against India
  9. Mysteriously, Pakistani terrorists will find themselves with sudden illnesses in US, Canada, Germany
  10. Pakistan will believe they downed 1,000 Indian jets by December – their social media loons will import more keyboards from China for their ‘warriors’
  11. India will continue to produce in GDP growth a new Pakistan each year as it already does. So much for Partition? India makes the same economic output as the whole of Pakistan, through annual growth alone.
  12. India will diversify its fighter jets from Raphaels
  13. India will accelerate its domestic iron dome programme and drone programme
  14. Despite the provocation, no Hindus will attack Muslims in India. The country will remain unified and not fall into the ‘divide and rule’ on religious ground playbook
  15. The outstanding Indian High Commissioner in London will continue to embarrass the Pakistanis
  16. Yalda Hakim on Sky TV will continue to embarrass the Pakistani officials
  17. India will continue to grow and prosper. The UK naval and army exercises will continue. Pakistan will within 12 months go to the IMF and World Bank – both of whom’s senior management are Indian.
  18. The CIA (who answer to Tulsi Gabbard) and FBI (whose chief is Kash Patel) have said they will help India track the terrorists and their sponsors. They will. Ajit Doval will meet both heads in  a few months in person for intelligence on the next set of targets.
