Thus, the erstwhile Soviet Union had continued to patronize terrorism by injecting the deadly ambivalence into the fight against terrorism. Thereafter, terror grew in only democratic countries and remained muted and stunted in brutally dictatorial regimes. By the time the erstwhile Soviet Union had unraveled in 1991, the damage to the cause of fighting terrorism had been done. Today, the world has to pay a heavy price for Communism’s convoluted and suffocating ideology regarding violence against civil society.
Origins of Islamic Terrorism
Afghanistan was liberated from Soviet occupation in 1989 by Afghan Islamic Mujahideen, with US weaponry and Pakistani territorial sanctuary. The consequences of the Soviet adventurism have been profound for the globe, and has completely transformed the polity of Pakistan, and pushed that nation to the brink of disaster.
Islam and jihad have now formed the nucleus of Pakistani army’s working at the domestic level as well in external affair levels and that nation has become a haven and crucible for nurturing terrorists.
Pakistan is a state that was not created by a freedom struggle. It was instead handed on a platter by the occupying British imperialists in undivided India, and a tired, capitulationist Congress Party whose leaders were ageing and in a hurry to occupy offices of government. This tiring of leaders had been proceeded by a mass struggle of the people led by Mahatma Gandhi, who however lost his moral authority substantially when he acquiesced in the Congress Party agreeing to the partition of India. Sages like Sri Aurobindo had warned against the creation of Pakistan, but to no avail.
Jawaharlal Nehru was bent up becoming Prime Minister with British patronage. For him cost to the nation of his aspirations meant little as we clearly see later in the policies he pursued as Prime Minister. Pakistan was thus created on religious consideration. A Muslim majority nation was born by British perfidy and Congress Party’s complicity.
