#PanditUpadhyaya – 2

There is a saying, an image is worth than a thousand words & this justifies that.

Yesterday, I thought of introducing works of a SIDELINED Humanitarian, but in turn the response I received was poor.

Nevertheless, I will continue to write about this
Great Visionary everyday till his Jayanti which falls on 25th of this month.
#DeenDayalUpadhyaya wrote regularly for @eorganiser under the column Political Diary. On 16 September, 1963 he wrote about China, Pakistan & West.

The reader may realize that both China & Pak had their
armies ready at borders while this report got published, but Nehru had a blurred brain to understand what was happening.

What Is Wrong with Mr. Kennedy's Stand on Kashmir….
President Kennedy and Prime Minister Macmillan, have once again urged upon India and Pakistan
a mediated settlement of the Kashmir problem. Their views in this regard are well-known, but to stick to them and reiterate at a time when Pakistan’s intransigence has defined all negotiation, and when her leaders contrary to their understanding with the west, have preferred to
hobnob with Communist China, entering into all sorts of treaties and pacts sounds a little surprising.

They seem to have either closed their eyes to all the misdeeds of Pakistan, or fallen a prey to her tactics of blackmail. Evidently this posture cannot impart strength and
confidence to the forces throughout the world that are interested in containing the diabolical of Communism.
President Ayub Khan, while turning down Prime Minister Nehru’s proposal for a no-war pact, has thought it fit to enter into such a pact with Communist China. They are
even thinking of signing a mutual defence pact and further more, conspiring jointly or simultaneously to invade India.
Troops for some ‘spring-board’ action have been concentrated all along the border by both Communist China and Pakistan, wide-spread espionage by Pakistani
agents in India has come to light, and with the existence of the CPI, China’s potentiality in this matter can well be imagined. Evidently Pakistan is not against Communist but against India.

There are some people who feel that Pakistan’s present antics are due to absence of a
settlement on the Kashmir issue. If once it is satisfied on this count its attitude would change. India and Pakistan then would become close allies against Communist China. We do not agree. And utterances of Pak Leaders lend weight to our view. Pakistan’s Foreign Minister
Shri Bhutto had unambiguously stated that Pakistan would not join hands with India even if she gets the whole of Kashmir. Whatever be the cause, it must be clearly understood that Pakistan is not in a position to come to grips with bellicose China. India’s unhappy performance
last October-November has influenced the attitude of all South-East Asian countries toward China. They all feel unnerved. And Pakistan, despite massive military aid by America, is no exception. Her attitude towards China will not change even by handing over Kashmir to her on a
‘silver platter’.

As things are, it is only India who can, with adequate help from the democracies, keep Communist China within its proper limits. Other countries, even if they so desire, are physically incapable of developing sufficient strength to contain the octopus.
So as long as China is not paid back for her misdeeds against India, neither cajoling nor coercion will induce Pakistan or, for that matter, any other country of South-East Asia, to follow a policy of joint defence against irredentist and imperious China.
Further more, in our
anxiety to win over Pakistan, we cannot conceive of any step that might weaken India’s will or capacity to resist the communist invader.
Steps that would undermine people’s morale, settlement along the cease-fire line, even with some adjustments, was proposed by India, during
the last Indo-Pak talks, but it has failed to satisfy Pakistan.
It was a concession that nationalist India would not have taken lying down, because it would mean a premium on aggression. It would have demoralised the people. Moreover, communists in India would then have raised
their voice for a similar settlement with Communist China. All this cannot be in keeping with India’s honour and her determination to maintain her territorial integrity.

Let all those who are interested in checkmating the evil designs of Communist China, refuse to pay undue
importance to paranoid Pakistan and, instead, concentrate on straightening India morally, militarily and economically so that she can give a rebuff to Communist China and restore the balance set up by power hungry China.

That will also correct the psychological imbalance of
Pakistani leaders. That is the only way for the West to win Pakistan back and also perhaps for making her leaders realise the need of good-will and understanding with India-so very necessary for the solution of all pending Indo-Pak problems and for the peaceful development of
the two States.

(The difference between Civilized & Uncivilized can be gauged by the way Pandit Upadhyaya treats Loser Nehru and how Congress treats Winner Modi)
