COUNTRY IN A BOTTLE

Was it a little too early to declare ‘Ceasefire’ with Pakistan? This question has been churning in my mind since the time it was declared. Personally, I am very disappointed. As the famous saying goes “Ye Dil Mange More”. More of and from Pakistan, with an end to their nefarious activities forever.

 

I do not know what transpired at the highest levels, but as a Veteran who was deployed twice for over a year, once when Kargil happened in1999. We had our ammunition and missiles loaded, waiting for the ‘green signal’ which never came as the operation was localised to Kargil area.

 

The second time, when the attack on our Parliament happened in 2001. That time I was heading a ‘logistics train’ of an offensive Armoured formation and could never hear “Tally Ho” to unleash our fire power against the enemy who had hurt us and got away with the impression that they could carry out attacks and get away with murder which was partially avenged now.

 

However, “Kutte ki dum tedi hi rahti hai, chahe ‘baarah’ saal botal main band rakho”. We kept it for 78 years and it is still curled. Why is it tedi still? Because there are forces in this world which help it to stay curled.

 

One of them is the US, who through the IMF released 1b $ for now. This money will get diverted for buying weapons. Whatever is left will be pocketed by their politicians. Let us be clear that the US is friends of nobody. They only have self interests.

 

The second supporters are the Chings and Mings of China. They have their own stakes in the CPEC and Gwadar Port. They are producing tanks and aircrafts in Pakistan, plus supplying ‘dud’ missiles against whom? India of course. Muslim world has also been funding them. So, how will the tail straighten?

 

The only way to straighten it was to amputate the tail. During Op Sindoor-I and we missed our chance. We snipped a little portion of it. The main muscle is the Paki army, who run these militant factories in Pakistan. They are the ones who need to be sent to “dozak” for supporting terrorists in the name of Jihad.

 

Pakis are untrustworthy and liars. No ‘Deen’ & no ‘Dharm’. We must remember this. Now they will use the money and time to recoup, repair, rest and get ready for future use, while there is a lull in the battle.

 

I can vouch for myself, when after a year of deployment during both occasions, when orders were given to return to barracks, how dejected I felt. It was time to test our mettle, our training, our preparation for what we took an oath over the Constitution of India. To protect it at the peril of our lives.

 

Our equipment too felt good, when every ammunition belt was fully loaded and mounted on our machine guns. Missiles and bombs were primed and awaited the launch button to be pressed. All ammunition stowage canisters in the tanks glistened with shiny warheads showing their teeth ready to tear the enemy apart, were unloaded and sent back to ammunition depots.

 

I think we missed a huge opportunity when Pakistan is cash starved, their “military” is in wrong hands and no match to ours, politically they are unstable, their internal turmoil is taking its toll, their economy is in doldrums, their water is controlled by us, their ports could be sealed by our Navy & our aircrafts and missiles could hit targets with impunity.

 

Earthquakes too can be triggered artificially, these ruddy chaps should know. The US has sent its planes to assess the damage done by us to their nuclear launch pads & clean up. They will keep petting this puppy.

 

Still, my hunch says that this is just a “smoke screen”. In my previous article, I have already laid down the conditions to which they have to agree to, to begin talks. They agree or get bombed again.

 

My heart is with every serving personnel & his family. I know their sentiments and what their families go through in these testing times. My daughter was 8 months old, barely able to babble when we mobilised in 2001. When I returned home, she could walk and talk. I missed the first word she spoke and the first step she took.

 

Be that as it may. It is too premature to trust these ‘Ps’, though I wanted to use the ‘second alphabet’. We need to be on constant guard. Let us keep a close watch on their ‘nuclear facilities’ and precisely follow the wanted terrorists like hawks. Either they hand them over or we take them out.

 

Let Turkey also know that they have made another enemy. We supplied them with so much aid during the earthquake. Let America & China know that we know how to deal with terrorists and their supporters. Every camp & training facility will be on our ‘crosswire’ henceforth & shall be destroyed without warning. Let this message go loud and clear.

 

Hand over POK to us if you want peace, earlier the better or else your jugular will bleed and you won’t even have water to wet your lips.

 

My frustration doesn’t matter. I know, my government knows what is best for India. This rogue country has to be put in the bottle back and capped, with just its tail left to wag. Do you guys agree? I wonder!!!!!

Pakistan को बोतल में बंद करो


ले कर्नल नोएल एलिस

क्या पाकिस्तान के साथ इतनी जल्दीसीज़फायरघोषित करना सही था? ये सवाल मेरे मन में तब से घूम रहा है जब से यह खबर आई। मुझे व्यक्तिगत रूप से बहुत निराशा हुई। जैसा कि मशहूर विज्ञापन में कहा गया था, "ये दिल मांगे more" — बल्कि पाकिस्तान से ऐसा जवाब कि उनकी नापाक हरकतें हमेशा के लिए खत्म हो जाएं।

 

मुझे नहीं पता ऊपर k स्तर पर क्या निर्णय हुए, लेकिन एक पूर्व सैनिक के नाते जो दो बार मोर्चे पर तैनात रहा, एक बार 1999 के कारगिल युद्ध के समय और दूसरी बार 2001 में संसद पर हमले के बादमैं सिर्फ यही कह सकता हूँ कि हर बार हथियार तैयार थे, सिर्फ आदेश का इंतज़ार थाजो कभी आया ही नहीं।

 

कहावत है — "कुत्ते की दुम, चाहे बारह साल बोतल में बंद कर दो, टेढ़ी की टेढ़ी ही रहती है।" पाकिस्तान की स्थिति भी वैसी ही है। और टेढ़ी क्यों है? क्योंकि दुनिया की कुछ ताकतें उसे टेढ़ा बनाए रखने में लगी हैं।

 

सबसे पहले अमेरिकाजिसने IMF के ज़रिये 1 अरब डॉलर दिए। यह पैसा हथियारों की खरीद और नेताओं की जेब भरने में चला जाएगा। अमेरिका किसी का दोस्त नहीं, सिर्फ अपने फ़ायदे देखता है।

 

दूसरे नंबर पर चीनजिसके CPEC प्रोजेक्ट और ग्वादर पोर्ट में भारी निवेश हैं। पाकिस्तान में टैंक और जहाज़ बनवा रहा है औरफुस्समिसाइलें दे रहा हैकिसके खिलाफ? भारत के खिलाफ। इस्लामी दुनिया भी उन्हें पैसा देती है। तो फिर उनकी दुम सीधी कैसे होगी?

 

दुम सीधी करने का एक ही तरीका थाउसे काट देना। और वह मौका हमारे पास था, 'ऑपरेशन सिंदूर-I' के दौरान। हमने सिर्फ थोड़ा सा हिस्सा काटा। असली ताक़त तो पाकिस्तानी सेना है, जो आतंकवाद की फैक्ट्रियां चलाती है। इन्हें जन्नत नहीं, ‘दोज़खभेजना चाहिए।

 

पाकिस्तान पर भरोसा नहीं किया जा सकता धर्म है, ईमान। वो इस शांति के समय का इस्तेमाल फिर से ताक़त बटोरने, ज़ख्म भरने और फिर से वार करने के लिए करेंगे।

 

मैं खुद को देखता हूंजब दोनों बार, एक साल की तैनाती के बाद वापस लौटने का आदेश आया, तो कितनी मायूसी हुई। यह समय था अपने प्रशिक्षण, अपनी कसम और अपनी तैयारी को परखने का।

 

हथियारों ने भी जैसे कहा हो — "हमें इस्तेमाल करो" — लेकिन गोले, मिसाइलें, मशीनगनें, सब वापस भेज दिए गए।

 

हमें पाकिस्तान को abhi घेर लेना चाहिए थाजब वो आर्थिक रूप से बर्बाद, राजनीतिक रूप से अस्थिर, और सैन्य रूप से कमज़ोर था। हमारे पास सब कुछ थाजल, थल, वायु पर पकड़।

 

यह बात भी याद रखनी चाहिए कि भूकंप भी कृत्रिम रूप से लाए जा सकते हैं। अमेरिका अब वहां जांच कर रहा है कि हमने उनके परमाणु ठिकानों को कितना नुकसान पहुंचाया।

 

लेकिन मेरा मन कहता है कि ये सबधुआं है, पर्दा है।असली कार्रवाई अभी बाकी है। मैंने अपने पिछले लेख में पाकिस्तान से बातचीत के लिए शर्तें भी बताई थींया तो मानो, या फिर बमबारी झेलो।

 

मेरे दिल में हर उस सैनिक और उसके परिवार के लिए सम्मान है, जो आज सरहद पर तैनात हैं। मैं जानता हूं उनके परिवार किन हालात से गुजरते हैं। मेरी बेटी 8 महीने की थी जब मुझे 2001 में बुलाया गया। जब लौटा, वह चलना और बोलना सीख चुकी थी। मैंने उसका पहला कदम और पहला शब्द मिस कर दिया।

 

अब वक्त है सतर्क रहने काउनकी हर परमाणु साइट, हर आतंकी ट्रेनिंग कैंप हमारी निगरानी में होना चाहिए। या तो हमें वांछित आतंकियों को सौंपो, या फिर हम उन्हें खत्म करेंगे।

 

तुर्की को भी याद रखना होगा कि उन्होंने एक और दुश्मन बना लिया है। अमेरिका और चीन को भी यह संदेश स्पष्ट होअब हम अपने दुश्मनों और उनके समर्थकों से सख्ती से निपटेंगे। हर आतंकी अड्डा अब हमारे निशाने पर होगाबिना चेतावनी के नष्ट किया जाएगा।

 

POK हमें सौंप दो अगर अमन चाहते होवरना तुम्हारी naabhi काट दी जाएगी और तुम्हारे होंठ गीले करने को पानी भी नहीं बचेगा।

 

मेरी नाराज़गी शायद मायने रखे, लेकिन मेरा विश्वास है कि मेरी सरकार भारत के लिए सबसे बेहतर निर्णय लेगी। पाकिस्तान को वापस बोतल में बंद करना हैऔर इस बार सिर्फ उसकी पूंछ को बाहर रहने देना है, ताकि सबको दिखे कि हम क्या कर सकते हैं।

 

क्या आप सहमत हैं? I wonder!!!!!!!

  1. Nicely put across Noel. Believing Ps is at your own peril. With some bitter pills given to them, we should be prepared for continued nuisance from them. Yes it is true that there are no friends in Geo politics but self interests. We have to tread our own path. Thanks dear....

FINGER ON YOUR LIPS

  LT COL NOEL ELLIS   29/IV/2025   What has happened to Pakistan? While India is doing Fauji Exercises, Pakistan has mobilised for what! I agree that the people of India want revenge. But, from whom? Our PM has only said that “we will not leave the terrorists and their supporters till the end of the Earth”. He has never said he will sort out Pakistan, or has he?   It has been hilarious watching discussions on Paki social media channels. They seem to have already given up. Our RM meets the PM and Pakistan starts shitting bricks. They talk about jazba and gazwa, and start telling us about their nuclear arsenal. 160 I suppose. By the way we will send across one equivalent to your 160 if need be.   There is a saying, ‘Chor ki Dari main tinka” literal meaning is, a straw in a thief’s beard. However, the deep meaning is that a guilty person reveals his guilt through his behaviour, even unintentionally. Clearly, “a guilty conscious needs no accuser”...

IF THERE IS A WAR…...

    LT COL NOEL ELLIS   28/IV/2025   I remember the 1971 war as a small child. We were in Kapurthala Punjab, very close to the Pakistan border. It was an evening in December, I do not remember the exact date. While returning from a friends house, the declaration of war was done as I skipped along the ‘Thandi Sarak’ of Kapurthala.   The gist was that a vehicle with loud speakers was telling people to head home as an "emergency" had been declared and war had started. I ran as fast as I could, shivering with fear and my heart beating unusually fast. Though I was a lap baby when the 1965 war had taken place, it appeared serious business now.   Overnight, Dad and other Uncles started digging trenches infront of our homes. Carbon paper was no dearth in a teachers house, so mom got into an overdrive to stick them to the glass windows. Though the glass had been painted during the 1965 war, some broken panes had been replaced. Mom told ...

SCENE AT ELLIS’ RESTAURANT

    LT COL NOEL ELLIS   04/XI/2024   Every morning the scene in the Ellis’ restaurant is so refreshing. The notes birds sing sounds like ‘reveille’ being sounded by the buglers. The ‘scenario’ keeps varying with arrival of different birds at different timings.   It is like being a restaurant owner, working solo with minimum help. Yours truly is the waiter, housekeeper, cook, receptionist, barman, purchase manager, accountant, and storekeeper of this shack. Imagine!   Foremost thing in the morning is housekeeping of the garden area, followed by watering the pots. This gives the plants a nice bath, like kids being readied for school.   The first set of ‘clients’ called the ‘Tailor Birds’ appear. They love to hunt for insects which get disturbed by the watering ritual. They sing and dance, hop and skip and carry on chasing moths and worms, without bothering about my presence.   By then the Bulbuls and the Sparrows start lini...
