Politicizing the Army: An effort to

attract liberal voters?

The recent times have witnessed disrespectful and baseless comparisons,
disgusting allegations and abuses hurled at the Indian Army, Chief Of Army
Staff and Major Gogoi (an Indian Army officer). We saw the man of iron,
like a true soldier stands up to his army of courageous, smart and strong
soldiers who serve their nation!

From Major Gogoi being disrespected, to Army Chief being accused. From
the gang of liberals complaining about the commendation medal given to
Major, to the Congressmen hurling abuses at the COAS. From Mr. Partha
Chatterjee comparing Gen. Bipin Rawat to Gen. Dyer, to Brinda Karat
justifying Sandeep Dikshit calling the Gen. a street thug. From UNITY in
diversity, to DIVERSITY in diversity!

It all started when the opposition realized that theres no coming back to
power! It all started when will for winning the elections overpowered the will
for welfare of the citizens. It all started when, firstly religion and later almost
everything was politicized!

A year or two back, Twitter meant, people, photos, jokes, chats etc. Today
its filled with useless rants, illogical reasoning, anti-nationalist sentiments,
lame excuses and disgusting accusations. More importantly, its obvious that
the credit goes to the herd of sheep mentality of followers of political
parties and varied retarded ideologies.
Where have we gone wrong as a nation? Where have we gone wrong as a
citizen? Where have we gone wrong as INDIANS?

The Indian Army as we see, is the nations army, the citizens army. Mind
you. Not BJPs, not Congress neither AAPs. It all started off with Arvind
Kejriwal! The common man initiated it when he demanded proof of surgical
strikes just to hit back and oppose the BJP govt. Little did he realize he had
unleashed a disgusting mindset wherein anyone and everyone could question
and accuse the Indian Army; wherein Indians would speak against their army;
wherein Indians stand divided, not as in history for their various rich culture
and heritage, but for the political differences. Arvind Kejriwal, the common
man, made it seem like the army was BJPs asset. Now everyone thinks
similarly.

Arvind Kejriwals baseless question was backed by Sanjay Nirupam of

Congress, Sitaram Yechuri of CPIM, Kapil Sibal, Rahul Gandhi and so many
more. But here the amazing part is that surgical strikes have happened across
the LoC for about 4 times. Lets briefly look at these:

2008: Avenging the beheading of a soldier by Pakistans BAT in Kel sector.

In armys retaliation, 8 Pakistani soldiers were killed.
2011: Operation Ginger: Retaliation to the sudden attack on army post in
Kupwara. 13 Pakistani soldiers were killed.
2013: Operation Badla: Avenging the beheading of Lance Naik Hemraj by
Pakistans BAT. In retaliation 3 Pakistan army posts were destroyed and
more than 6 soldiers and terrorists killed.
And finally as we know, in 2016, another one which was held to avenge the
Uri Attack by Pakistans forces.
Until 2016 no one, asked for proofs for the armys attacks and how it affected
the enemy. Probably because AAP wasnt in existence back then?

Next is the Kashmir issue. It is not new or as some people criticize, it is not
since the Modi government. Since July 1988, Kashmir has witnessed the rise
of strikes and attacks against the Indian government. This was a result of
Farooq Abdullah, after the death of his dad Sheikh Abdullah (who very much
supported the idea of India), decided to join hands with the ruling party
Congress to win the election. So he did, but he was accused of rigging it and
hence started the clashes. In the following years, Pakistan sponsored cross
border infiltration and insurgency situation arised. Hizbul Mujahideen and
Lashkar E Taibah came into Kashmir. While Hizbul is still in prominence,
LeT influence seems to have narrowed down in the valley, while Jaish E
Mohammad is said to be operating still.

Since 2008 when over 500,000 people gathered to stand against the
construction of temporary temples for Hindu pilgrims and 2010 when Indian
army was accused of a staged encounter, youth have been actively involved
in the unrest in Kashmir. Due to the increased Islamic radicalization and
funds, recruits and training from across the border, anti-Indian sentiments are
at a peak high. The so called misinformed aka brainwashed Kashmiri youths
(definitely there are exemptions) have now made it their daily chore to pelt
stones at the army, to raise Azaadi (aka support Pak/terror) slogans and take a
stand against India and the Indian army.

Again, here comes the sad part, while their outrage is due to brainwashed
sentiments and external influence, some highly educated people sitting in the
comfort of their home, within the borders of India, have forgotten the fact
that it is the army that gives them their so called privacy, freedom of speech
(you may ask how: if soldiers werent on the borders, if continuous
infiltration took place, if internal clashes happened on a daily basis, what
happens? People get killed, what is the use of freedom of speech when you
arent alive), and so much more!

Now here came a major applauding action by Major Gogoi.

It all started when the video of this guy tied to the front of a jeep went viral.
At the time truth about the situation not known, most asked for the truth, half
guessed the situation while Rana Bibi, oops Rana Ayyub, Barkha Dutt,
Owaisi, Farooq, Omar were all first in taking advantage of the video
(Yet another chance to criticize the army! Why would I leave that!).

When the truth came out, we realized that an officer in a stiff situation,
handled it with such smartness without actually causing any casualties to both
the army or the civilians. (But hey, we dont want the good part, its a
democracy, we have the right to criticize. Right?) People bashed Maj. Gogoi
over and over, for an intelligent move of his. Then came the major twist.

Chief of Army Staff General Bipin Rawat, decided to award Major Gogoi an
Army Chiefs Commendation medal to applaud his bravery and sensibility
shown in the situation whose consequences couldve been worse if weapons
were used or someone was shot at!

Here comes the Liberal Brigade. Here started the Minute to Fame moment
for many politicians, so called journalists, anchors and historians. Initiated by
the Twitter liberal gang mentioned earlier, this grew overly political day by
day.
Criticism for awarding Major Gogoi poured in from all over the country.
Army veterans including H.S. Panag, Col. Anil Kaul etc blurted out against
the Army Chief stating that the action insults the morale of the Indian Army.
PDP called it a gross violation of human rights while Hindustan Times
stated that he is talking like a politician.

Prakash Karat blamed the chief for letting down the professional standards of
the Indian Army. Did you know? CPM has always supported the separatist
leaders in the valley. Last September CPM leaders Sitaram Yechury and
some others went to meet Gheelani at his house but were left humiliated
when Gheelani refused to meet them. Yet, the party goes all bongers for the
separatist ideologies.

India Today proudly named their article General Bipin Rawats chemistry
with controversies while Indian Express blamed his silly hat for his silly
behaviour. Prakash Karat said that the army is suppressing the rights of
people who are politically protesting! What he didnt say here is, they are
protesting against the country that gives them the right to protest. So basically
Prakash is yet another China fed mor-on who regrets not being able to serve
his country China!

But Gen. Bipin Rawat himself cleared the confusions when he said that the
comments by people on his statements that have been misinterpreted doesnt
affect him anyhow. He also recently stated that the human shield incident was
legit during that situation but shouldnt be used an a Standard Operating
Procedure (SOP) as the army respects human rights. Amidst all the hatred,
true countrymen took pride in saying that Army Chief General Bipin Rawat
is an inspiration and the country supports determined people like him. These,
dear readers, these are the people, you, me and every Indian should learn
from!

That was almost settling down that the next stood in line with a much more
abusive comment- A Sadak Ka Gunda was what Mr Sandeep Dikshit ex
Parliament MLA of Congress was seen saying when asked about the
aggressive comments of Pakistan Chief Gen. Qamar Bajwa. Though Rahul
Gandhi himself made clear that this was not expected and even though many
BJP members talked against the issue, no further action was taken in this
regard.
In between all these going on there was the member of the ruling party of
Kerala Mr Balakrishnan who in a speech against BJP brought up the army
and stated that Indian Army You might very well know what he stated. It
is indeed disgusting, that I dont feel like even typing it here. That would
demean my respect and admiration for the army. Its true that the citizens
should fear the army. Its the lack of that fear that has led to this disgusting
outrage which many are ashamed of and many are proud of.

Dear Liberals, you question a man who dedicated his entire life to that nation,
you disrespect a man who in spite of such hatred from the citizens he works
for, still serves the countrymen. He, a man, in a country of 2.52 Billion
people made it to this prestigious post last year, you question him about how
well he knows his job? Lets be straight here, you dont have the aukat to
question this man. Period.

To me, as a defense aspirant and a citizen of India, being a soldier and

serving the country, is above all freaking job perks, money and comfort. To
quote from the recent movie Commando 2- Jo maza desh ki seva karne
main hain na! Wo kisi aur kaam main bilkul nahi hain! And the word
Desh here refers to you unfortunately! They work day and night to support
you and all you return is Gaddari?
When you speak against them, imagine yourself in their shoes. You liberals,
self-obsessed retards would just leave the job once and for all and resort to
the comforts of your air conditioned room if you faced such backstabbing
behaviour. But they? Despite the constant hatred and stupid abuses, they
choose to serve you. We have seen their relentless service during the
Uttarakhand and Chennai disasters. You think rescuing those stranded would
have been possible without them?

Lets be clear, if soldiers for once thought like the so called politicians,
journalists or historians, well have thousands dying everyday! The situation
we are looking at today could be a threat to the countrys unity tomorrow.
Recently as Major Surendra Poonia and Major Gaurav Arya spoke in several
debates,

Dear politicians, you have problems with Modi and the government, deal it
with him and the government, dont pull in the armed forces, for; they represent
and work for the country as a whole, not one person, party, religion or
community
So dear countrymen, INTROSPECT! By disrespecting them, what do you
earn? By using the freedom of speech against the country that has given you
the freedom of speech, what do you earn?

We never thank the oxygen that helps us survive everyday, do we? But if
they were to disappear for even 10 minutes, we very well know the
consequences! So thank those who dont the olive greens, maroon berets
carrying the heavy backpacks guarding the borders and within.

And lastly: Dont ever ask a soldier why he chose to be one! Ask yourself
why you didnt!
