MANIMALA FORMULAS
Snow Handshake: Indian and Pak Kashmirs merged into one. Its defense, finance and foreign affairs will be managed jointly by the respective Indo-Pak Secretaries. Kashmiris can travel to India and Pakistan without documents. Kashmir will be open to both Indians and Pakistanis. But to move beyond Kashmir they need permission. This will lead to eventual Indo-Pak reunification. Afterwards they can extend hand to Bangladesh.
Religious Blur: Reserve ten parliament seats (rotational) for other religions. In this way, Hindus can’t contest the four Hindu majority seats in the reserves term. Muslims, Christians, Sikhs etc. can. Three Muslim majority seats will be open to non-Muslims only. Two Christian seats will be closed to Christians. Lone Sikh seat will be accessible only to non-Sikhs.
Distant Neighbors: Five parliament seats reserved in the large states (rotational) for distant seats. UP’s single reserved seat will be closed to natives and neighbor states. However, a Delhi Malayali can’t contest Kerala’s lone reserved seat. Viva linguistic harmony and national integration.
But reservation is very bad for a meritocracy. They should be modified or discarded every five year.
In Dragon Fire China finished off India. But as King Arjunan launched Pasupathasthram to block Lord Krishnan’s Sudarsana Chakram, to destroy Dragon Fire, I put forward deadly Shanghai Cocktail.
China pour arsenal into Pakistan. India sunk Chinese supply ships to Pakistan. Pakistan and China jointly attack India. They invade Kashmir, Northeast, Gujarat and Rajasthan. India retaliate, occupy Pakistan, Tibet and Aksai Chin. Tempo increase. We warn dubious Asian capitals that backing china will invite Indian missiles of the third variety.
Flareup, which already crossed the nuclear threshold, escalate into thermonuclear blowup. While western powers advise India restraint, China nuke Delhi. We wipe out Beijing with six hydrogen bomb strikes. China take out Bombay. We write the obituary of shanghai.
China is finished. Tianenmenon butchers don’t give a damn about people. But we will evacuate cities. Then Majestic Lion advise Giant Panda. “Comrade, let us call it a day. None of this was necessary. We regret the loss of life. But if you touch any more Indian city, we will take care of Hong Kong. So please sign the truce.”

Had Vajpayee sacked Narendra Modi, Muslims would have suffered more. When Christians persecuted in Gujarat, there was huge uproar. Yes. Bad Muslims exist. But what about thousand of innocent Muslims. Isn’t there bad Hindus, Christians and Sikhs?
George Bush Sr and Kennedy didn’t hesitate to sent federal troops to troubled areas. To prevent future Godhras we should have a Federal Administrator’s post with overriding, compelling powers with two safe guards. PM should consult opposition leader. One third of chief ministers must demand federal rule. Federal administrator’s term should be for three months only. Military, civil services and central agencies should lend him their full support in the troubled area in these period. To assist Federal Administrator, a brilliant interagency coordinator too should be appointed.
We see our paramilitary forces, even the RAF is useless in internal riots. They often terrorize and persecute the victims. Like America’s National Guard, we can use territorial army in future to handle riots.
As an emerging superpower, we must adopt the best of USA and USSR. Except strategic matters, India should copy European Union’s policy. American views are monolithic and absolutist. EU is about India’s with size and has one third of our population. Like India, they have cultural, linguistic diversity and unity.
Even with geographical proximity and full backing of one super power, America, and four medium powers, China, Iran, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, Mojahiddeen couldn’t pull off a devastating 9/11 type attack against USSR or for that matter, against Russia.
In 1979, after the successful capture of American embassy, Teheran pondered taking on the Bear. Kremlin warned, “If you lay a finger on our embassy, ten Ayatollahs will die suddenly.” Iran backed off. 1984, Islamic terrorists hijacked and cruelly killed one out of three Soviet diplomats in the Middle East. KGB retaliated in kind and forced the release of the two diplomats.
When Chechen terrorists (Until 9/11 they were freedom fighters to USA. Now they are terrorists.) Killed civilians in Moscow apartments, savage KGB retribution shook Kabul in 1999 and killed many top Taliban commanders.
Russians got the last laugh. Americans had to eat humble pie and seek Russian aid in anthrax cure, bomb detection, satellite imagery and intelligence. Years after Aldrich amess spy scandal, Robert Hanssen deal another blow to American arrogance.
Only after soviet break up America know Russians prepared Third World War plans against war hungry Reagen. They had computerized doomsday war command and better Stars Wars program. Russia outwit America in international oil scene, weapon sale, chicken sale, steel and post Taliban administration.
Did Chinese supply satellite photos of world trade center, Pentagon and White House to Bin Laden? In 1998, Chinese studied unexploded American missiles in Afghanistan. Do Israel possessed early knowledge about 9/11 attack? Is Bin Laden in China? Did India test her missiles and bombs inside Russia from 1975-86? We may never know.
