    1. Jai Shastri

    India Vs Pakistan.

    No. This is not a cricket match hyped-up by media. We are talking about war, real war!

    This war is nothing new. It started even before the new country Pakistan existed, and still continuing for more than 60 years.

    In the mid forties, our freedom struggle movement was reaching its peak. At one point, British authorities decided they can't hold us anymore and decided to leave the country. A grand success to generations of freedom fighters!

    But, this victory came with an added headache. Our British rulers also decided to split India into two pieces, and create a new country called Pakistan. Means, effectively they were granting freedom to two countries, not one.

    Across the globe, whenever a new country was formed, along its borderlines there will be trouble, and most of the times, bloodshed. Both the parties will fight over villages, cities, agricultural land, factories, assets and so on. End of the day, both of them will claim the other party has got much more than what they deserved.

    This is exactly what happened in case of Pakistan too. Even after their new country was officially formed on August 14th 1947, they were still not satisfied. According to them, many states that now belonged to Independent India should be theirs. Mainly, Kashmir!

    When we say Kashmir, we think of a cool, peaceful tourist destination. In the days of our freedom struggle, many leaders (both Indian and British) used to go to Kashmir for spending their summer days. It was paradise on earth, nothing short of that.

    Now, after freedom, India still had access to Kashmir. Pakistan didn't. This made them very angry. They felt geographically and culturally, Kashmir belonged to them.

    So, Pakistan attacked. Not directly, but through secret plans. They sent their trained soldiers and other people inside Indian border, to cause trouble. Pakistan hoped this will create a people's revolution and as a result, Kashmir will become part of their country.

    During that time, Jawaharlal Nehru was the Indian Prime Minister. He didn't like wars. Personally, he wanted India to have good relationship with all her neighbors, and believed that will make the whole south Asia a peaceful destination.

    Hence, Pakistan's Kashmir mischief was troubling Nehru. If he wanted and ordered so, Indian army can crush Pakistan in no time. But he didn't.

    After all, Pakistan was not attacking India directly. If India also gets into such backdoor tactics, things will get ugly, and Nehru didn't want it.

    The entire world respected Nehru as a leader. So, if Pakistan makes a wrong move, they will be in huge trouble. So they were waiting for a
