I HV been reading a lot of assertion that we should follow western strategy on counter terrorism.When one compares counter terrorism Strategy of US allied forces/israeli and India then it should be fair to compare the outcome of such Strategy.
1. Outcome with Naxalites-no of Naxalites affected districts hv come down from triple digits of the heydays of 90s to hand full around forest belt of sukma.
2.NE -Peace prevails among a lot of seccesionist societies with AFSPA being removed progressively from many areas.At its height AFSPA was deployed in all 7 sisters states, Punjab n j&k.
3.Kashmir - is in a state of flux..massive polarization caused...clearly separating terrorists OGW n peaceniks (we don't read about pro peace/India Kashmiris in msm) in the region. Same strategy employed by crpf/administration in Naxalite areas...iron fist for armed terrorists, development, education, healthcare, connectivity to indigents, persuasion coersion cooption for OGW.
The most important outcome one fails to notice s absence of resurgence of terrorism (khalistan) n return to the mainstream of armed fringe elements. Reason is a our counter terrorism strategy ...our rules of engagement with armed terrorists ...with unarmed sympathisers ... indigenous population.....listen to the conversation between the paki Abu dujana n the indian tracker...it's s a microcosm of how India handles things with its head n not with its balls. U never alienate an entire race, u just cut out the cancer.
Israeli:- the outcome of their strategy resulted in unsustainable geopolitical situation...all avenues of reconciliation with Islam has been irrevocably snuffed off.....result of thinking using balls..their citizens r not safe even in any other country (terrorists were exclusively deployed to chabad house during 26/11)
Europe allies of US:- allies in Europe r paying in blood every other day (sad part s they were not affected by 9/11 provocation, they stupidly painted themselves a target)....organised terrorism has morphed into lone wolf attacks....just presume if an battle hardened coordinator travels from middle East to Europe...lone wolf attacks would be spectacular... Barcelona had a providential lucky break as the coordinator was killed in an accidental explosion before they can park the gas canisters in public places.....India passed off an golden opportunity to open another front with Pak on afgan border by turning down USA offer in 2001. Y ? To avoid exactly wat Europe s is facing. Unfortunately read much into India's decision.
US:-They created Afghanistan mujahideen as counter to ussr, results - embassy bombings in africa, culminating with 26/11. They created Isis n results of their strategy is for all to see. Turkey, Syria Yemen (houthis r Iran's answer for Saudi / USA Isis) all on fire....bombs knocking on the doors of mecca...though USA mainland have not seen spectacular attacks after 9/11 except ones like Boston n few other lonewolf attacks. It s lone pedestal of success among the misery the strategy left across middle East n europe
Half of Afghanistan is controlled by taliban. If US had taken a leaf out of our strategy they would not have disbanded entire Iraq baath army making a half a million hire for mercenaries.....now Iraq s bleeding.....less said about Libya the better.
