Excerpts of the speech by Param Poojaniya Sarsanghchalak ji on the occasion of Vijayadashmi Utsav, Nagpur #RSS100Years rss.org/Encyc/2025/10/…
For decades, India’s strategic class including @ShekharGupta has been saying Pakistan is weak, isolated, irrational, collapsing, defeated and yet somehow India still can’t stop talking about Pakistan. Every election, every security debate, every regional calculation somehow circles back to us. If Pakistan is such a hopeless failure, why does it occupy so much Indian strategic bandwidth? You can’t spend 75 years calling your neighbour irrelevant while simultaneously treating it as your central geopolitical obsession. And this idea that Pakistanis are uniquely guilty of “revisionist history” is honestly laughable. Every country shapes national narratives. India does it constantly and shamelessly. The difference is that Indian commentary gets packaged in English language opeds and think-tank jargon, so people pretend it’s objective analysis instead of nationalism with better grammar. The reality is much more uncomfortable for people who enjoy these victory lap threads. 1965 was not some glorious uncontested Indian triumph. Kargil exposed serious Indian intelligence and operational failures before diplomacy rescued the situation. Balakot was sold as a gamechanging doctrine, yet only a few years later Indian analysts are again talking about deterrence gaps and future provocations. If the strategic superiority is as overwhelming as claimed, why does the insecurity never disappear? And the "conspiracy fiction" about Pakistan orchestrating global diplomacy like some Bond villain operation is where analysis completely gives way to fantasy. Pakistan’s relationships with the US, China, the Gulf, and the wider Muslim world are not temporary accidents or PR gimmicks. Countries engage Pakistan because it matters (yes, it MATTERS!). Because geography matters. Because military capability matters. Because 240 million people sitting at the crossroads of South Asia, Central Asia, and the Middle East matter. What really stands out in this thread is the inability to accept a basic fact: Pakistan did not disappear, collapse, surrender, or become strategically irrelevant despite decades of predictions that it would. That reality seems to deeply frustrate a certain class of Indian commentator like Gupta. And maybe that’s the real reason these essays get written over and over again - not to understand Pakistan, but to reassure themselves. @DanQayyum @Sadiasattar2422

Before 1890s, the prosperity and upkeep of the Haramain (Mecca & Medina) and Hejaz largely depended on the Indian Muslims. Henceforth, the Ottomans referred to the Hajj as mevsim-i Hindî (“the Indian season”). The largest & most lavish grants & endowments came from Indian Muslim monarchs and aristocrats. For instance, the Muzaffarids sultanate (just 1 out of 8 or 9 sultanates in India) used to remit 70,000 misqals of gold annually. This sum equalled the annual revenue of the Republic of Genoa, a third of the net annual revenue of Venice at its peak, and amounted to nearly 3.5% of the total annual revenue of the Ottoman Empire.
