Happy Republic Day, my fellow citizens. I have resolved to write at least one post a week from now.
The main opposition BJP's attempt to score points on the question of Kashmir by trying to unfurl the Indian national flag at Lal Chowk in Srinagar have not worked out. If the aim was to embarass the UPA it hasnt worked either. Instead of that the J&K question, in my opinion, has been internationalised with the CM and other Kashmiris calling J&K a disputed are/territory. In the old days we used to call it, "To cut your nose to spite your face" I still dont understand the logic of this prank.
On the other hand, the UPA II could well have allowed the flag hoisting with some minimal security and nothing would have happened. Now Pakistan must be happy and thank India for doing its work of keepng the issue alive. When will we learn?? If ever??? Best wishes
