Two years ago, South Asia came to the brink of a catastrophic conflict. On February 14, 2019, a young Kashmiri man in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir carried out a suicide attack on a contingent of the Indian Occupation Army, killing 44 soldiers.
In the accompanying melee, Pakistan also shot down at least one Indian Air Force fighter jet, which had violated Pakistani airspace and captured its pilot, while the overwhelmed and confused Indian air defences shot down one of their own Mi-17 helicopters, killing six Indian Air Force personnel. It is a lesson for students of politics and social behaviour how in the face of the wreckage of its aircraft in public view and the downed pilot very much in Pakistani custody, India declared victory.
The tragedy is that if there are any lessons to be learned from the entire episode, these are: an electorate which has been force-fed a diet of jingoism and narrow religion-based nationalism with the bogey of an “other” will reward brinkmanship. Pakistan had argued that India stages false flag operations, maligns Pakistan with terrorism-related allegations, stokes hyper-nationalism in the country with the help of its cronies in the Indian media and then manipulates national sentiment in its bid to win elections.
If the leadership in India is averse to drawing the right conclusions from the consequences of its actions over the last two years, it is the responsibility of the international community to spell these out. The path India has chosen does not lead either to greatness or to peace and security. Its actions are not those of a democracy.
