Floods in Pakistan the Aftermath of Kargil War
The nation is drowning and we are standing helplessly on a corner without doing anything. The magnitude of catastrophe is beyond the wildest imagination but the attitude of our leadership is as same as of a Landlord who secures his own castle by diverting the flow flood towards the poor masses. The feudal mentality cannot think about the miseries of poor but they are more concerned about their own castles and own properties.
We are hearing too much about the Water Terrorism of India that is now showing its ugliest image with immense devastation which seems to be not ending in the near future. The devastation is now perpetual and we would see the immense loss of our crops, our agricultural land, our infrastructure including roads and bridges and the list goes on.
It is our bad luck that we have been chosen spineless leaders who could not take appropriate decisions at the right moment. We need to examine the Indian intention from the day we lost the Kargil war due to weakness of our leadership at that time. It was none other than Nawaz Sharif the Lion of Punjab who appeared to be the most innocent figure when Kargil war is discussed. Being the supreme commander of the Army at that time, his statement that he did not know about the Kargil operation was a false that cannot be accepted.
Though highly disputed, the Kargil operation required a complete coordination between the Army and the Civilian Government. That operation was to become a turning point in the resolution of Kashmir dispute with all the cards would have been in the hands of Pakistan. The blockade of the key access to Kashmir, the Kargil valley had immense importance strategically and economically. By holding the position in Kargil and making it strong at that time would have dropped the whole Kashmir valley in our lap, but the weakest leadership at that time gave us a shameful loss for which our coming generations would pay a heavy price may be for their lifetime.
Referring to the Memoirs of Ex. President Pervez Musharraf, During the autumn of 1998, he writes, Indiabegan to complain of Pakistani intrusions in the Siachen sector. On investigation, he discovered, these attacks were "make-belief." As a result, Pakistan's military became increasingly convinced that India was inventing pretexts to go to war. By the end of the year, according to the General, evidence existed that "India was on the verge of an attack across the Line of Control." Two Indian brigades, which were normally moved to the Kashmirvalley each winter, were held back in Leh. In addition,India's 70 Infantry Brigade was moved into the Kargil theatre. New bunker-busting equipment also arrived in the area.
Pakistan, in this rendition, responded by enhancing its defensive positions along the Line of Control. Some 100 new section-strength posts, General Musharraf records, were set up on unoccupied heights that winter, in what he extols as "a tactical marvel of military professionalism." However, he claims, none crossed the watersheds along the Line of Control. By March 1999, as his troops began to reach these positions, the General slowly began to learn of the parallel military task "Pakistani freedom fighters" had undertaken: the occupation of some 800 square kilometres of Jammu and Kashmir. He claims that it was only on May 7, after fighting broke out, that he was given "a comprehensive briefing of their positions."
What followed was, in his view, "a landmark in the history of the Pakistan army ... As few as five units in support of freedom fighter groups were able to compel the Indians to deploy more than four divisions." Despite India's numerical superiority and air support, its armed forces were only able to secure gains "which I would call insignificant."
Despite this overwhelming military success, General Musharraf argues, Prime Minister Sharif crumbled under international pressure and offered a ceasefire. "It remains a mystery to me why he was in such a hurry," he remarks.Pakistan's military ruler demolishes Mr. Sharif's claims that the operation was launched without his knowledge; in fact, he lists specific dates on which briefings were provided to the Prime Minister.
The above facts clearly reveal that Nawaz Sharif had either succumbed to the International pressure or may had signed any lucrative deal with the Super Power to order an unconditional cease fire that later infuriated the Military leadership because the decision risked hundreds of freedom fighters and the Pakistani soldiers who were then trapped in Kargil and were eventually slaughtered by the Indian forces.
Pakistan Army's agile move at Kargil sparked Indian minds and made them take appropriate steps to safeguard their captured territory from any future assaults. Now strategically, any new assault like Kargil is impossible but the outcome of cowardly decision of the Lion of Punjab Mr. Nawaz Sharif gave India every chance to take revenge from Pakistan by blocking all the key rivers entering our Country. The decision of Building numerous dams on our waters was purposely taken by India to make our country desert or whenever required push the heavy flow of water to create havoc on our lands.
I bet, Indians would be smiling and laughing on our helplessness and must be contended on their achievement that they can win any war against us without firing a single bullet.
When I see the candidates of PPP and PML N winning the bi-elections, I can only say that our nation's faith is also drained in these floods because it is the saying of our Holy Prophet that a true Muslim cannot be bitten second time by one snake hole. But it is visible that these Anacondas are eating us again and again but we are ready to become their slaves and their followers besides seeing that they have given us so much miseries and so much pain that cannot be translated into words.
It is also obvious that the magnitude of wealth created by our so called leaders is not possible without selling the pride of our country and making destructive decisions against our national security only for the sake of the wealth of this world. But I want to say that all our so called leaders should read this verse of Holy Quran to understand that what will be their fate on the day of judgment when their wealth and their power will not be able to save them from the anger of Allah!!
With the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Very-Merciful.
[81:1] When the sun will be folded up, [81:2] and when the stars will swoop down, [81:3] and when the mountains will be set in motion, [81:4] and when the ten-months pregnant she-camels will be abandoned, [81:5] and when the wild beasts will be gathered together, [81:6] and when the seas will be flared up, [81:7] and when the people will be arranged in categories, [81:8] and when the girl-child that was buried alive will be asked, [81:9] for what sin she was killed, [81:10] and when the scrolls (of deeds) will be unrolled, [81:11] and when the sky will be stripped off, [81:12] and when the Hell will be set ablaze, [81:13] and when the Paradise will be brought close, [81:14] then everyone will know what he (or she) has put forward.
Our leaders have put forwards something which they can't bear on the Day of Judgment. They sold the future of our nation for few million dollars. They created their castles in countries like France, England and Switzerland but made our mud houses drown in the floods they are responsible for. They have their kids living in foreign countries and studying in the most costly schools, colleges and universities there, but they have made the schools of poor people, cattle houses or their Autaq (meeting place). They are wearing the most precious clothing but the poor people of this nation have nothing left to wear now. The leaders of our times deserve hate and condemnation because they only thought about their own profits, their gains and their betterment and thrown the entire nation into an ultimate misery. Our nation does not need any Nawaz Sharif and any Zardari now!! They are tested horses and have always changed their track that took the nation to the deep ditch of hopelessness.
It is my plea to the nation that rise and rise now because the water is now flowing over our heads. These leaders have no right to rule and they have no right to sell our future for their own vested interest. Pakistani nation should reject present leadership and display their anger to throw them out of their offices now.

Casio Secret Wars Sponsored by Casio G-Shock
Secret Wars are the most vibrant and innovative live art battles on the planet. These premier art battles which are sponsored by Casio G Shock watches have gained snowballing momentum as the months have rolled on. The concept of Secret Wars was born in 2006, inspired by legendary cult films 'The Warriors' and 'Fight Club'. The name of the battles comes from Marvel comics Super Heroes Secret Wars series, where super heroes were sent to a distant planet called Battleworld to battle to the death.
In Casio's Secret Wars battles are not to the death but against the clock. They are held in unusual locations across Europe. Two teams of artists are pitted against one another to determine who can create the most inspired artwork in 90 mins using nothing but black paint and white walls (no sketches or pencils allowed). The artists from opposing teams work next to each other divided by nothing but an invisible line. The winner is chosen by the votes of three judges; two independent freestyle art experts and the crowd whose support is measured with a decibel reader.
Secret Wars has created a stir in the global underground art movement, excited fans in Tokyo and New York are already cueing up to get Secret Wars in their cities. Secret Wars started in London and other major U.K. cities but the excitement about the competition has pushed it to new heights. The event is promoted through word of mouth only, so you have to be in the know to know. Despite and perhaps because of the low key advertising, it isn't about making money or attendance figures, it is about street artists performing at their best under pressure. Since its inception the event has spiralled into new dimensions. Last year the organisers announced the beginning of the Euro league capitalising on the artistic diversity of many more culturally ambitious cities. The support of the Casio watch corporation means that Secret Wars battles can now be found in Amsterdam, Paris, Warsaw, Berlin, Malmo, Dublin, Copenhagen, Lisbon and Hamburg. The list of cities is always growing as dynamic artists put forward their home towns to be added into the mix, fans are anticipating a world wide league in the next year, so that Europe can connect with the exciting artistic styles of other countries.
2009 was a great year for Street Wars, the competition climaxed in New York with a week long tour sponsored by Kanye West. It is almost inevitable that we can expect a Secret Wars Champions league in the near future. The artists are pushing for it as they want to prove themselves on the biggest stage possible. There are now so many winners from all the battles that have taken place that a Champions league is not only wanted but necessary. Secret Wars is sponsored by Casio G-Shock watches. Casio watches have been associated over the years with many dynamic music events like the G-Shock the World parties as well as high calibre art events including the Secret Wars battles.
G-Shock watches are designed to live up to any situation and come out on top. Created to endure and make and the impossible possible G-shock watches are likely to continue to be running with these dynamic underground scenes for the foreseeable future. Casio watches have been associated with street culture for a long time, you can often see the Casio G-Shock and Casio Baby G watchesbuses around at all of the major music events and lots of other cool places. Casio watches have a reputations for performance and reliability and they are constantly updating their ranges. Casio make lots of limited edition watches which fast become collectors items. We are hoping that at some time soon they will announce the Secret Wars Casio G-Shock watch, but have heard nothing yet...
