LUCKNOW: It is pleasant to note the glorification of India once again at international platform through ‘Howdi Modi’ at Huston in U.S.A. witnessed by American President Mr. Donald Trump along with his some of the cabinet ministers and thousands of Indians settled in the USA.
USA through 9/11 (terrorist attack on 11.09.2001 on World Trade Towers) and India through 26/11 (terrorist attack on 26.11.2008 in Mumbai) have been victims of historical tragedies, sponsored by Pakistan and at this level, both the nations find themselves similar to each other.
India, for the first time in history, is in the center position of the world and through ‘never before’ historical internal decisions and external policies, it is being focused and given attention by all the big countries of the world including United State of America, Russia and China.
Giving special status to Jammu and Kashmir through article 370 might have been the need of the hour in the history but it is also equally true that this special status given to it had curtailed the entire state from the main stream of the nation causing serious miseries, difficulties and insecurities to the general people of the state. It is still debatable as to whether article 370 was associative or separative in nature.
A general Kashmiri never could stand along with the rest of the country on account of this special status and found himself separated, uncared and unprotected throughout and as the result whereof, even after partition of India into Rest of India and Pakistan, when the rest of India still enjoys the shared culture, Kashmir was clearly demarcated between Kashmiri Pandits and Hindus on one side and confused Mohammadans on the other side and Kashmiri Pandit were forced to leave their land through terror activities of Pakistan and Kashmir was being played like football for a number of decades by the separatist leaders for their vested political interests only.
Narendra Modi, the Indian Prime Minister, for the first time took historical steps and caused two successful surgical strikes which gave clear message to the terrorists and the nations behind them that India is not weaker in any term and is committed to wash out the terrorism from its land forever at any cost.
The abrogation of article 370 and 35-A of the Indian Constitution which granted the special status to State of Jammu and Kashmir and division of the state as Kashmir, Jammu being union territory with a legislature and Laddakh as union territory with no legislature not only shows the commitment of India to bring the entire nation into the main stream but its resolution also to have a final fight against terrorism.
Indian manifesto of final surgical strike against terrorism and political non stability in Kashmir has not been appreciated by the Indians only but all the nations standing against terrorism and in Houston, the entire world witnessed this fact. The Kashmiri Pandits kissed the hands of Modi with unbounded gratefulness for lifting of so called special status of Jammy and Kashmir and making them truly habitable for true Indians with respect. The life is going to be easy and fearless there day by day.
Acceptance of Modi in America with special liking of the President Mr Donald Trump suggests that Modi has not only got his decision of abrogation of Article 370 approved worldwide and Indian stand of not accepting any outside interference but it also suggests that he will be successful to attract foreigners to invest in India to improve weaker Indian economy up-to five trillion economy.
The grand show of Modi is quite successful and it is starting a new international History of India with a message to the world that India is self dependant now and has maintained his international relations with all powerful big bosses of the world with its own terms and conditions. Now India does not follow them blindly but it has respectful friendly relations with them with open eyes and independent decisions.
Pakistan once again has left behind miles and miles and India is again successful, as usual, to win the love and confidence of the world.
In short –
The word asks : Howdi Modi?
The entire India replies : All is well in India.
