General Pervez Musharraf's dark legacy

In the passing at age 79 of the disgraced former president, General Pervez Musharraf the world has witnessed the end of a quintessential Pakistani strongman whose perpetual angst was against India, but whose delusions of influence were global. Musharraf died today in Dubai in exile from a country he once ruled with varying draconian degrees, including suspending its Constitution, imposing martial law and making widespread civilian arrests. That was just one part of his preoccupations, the others being setting off a reckless war with India over the Himalayan region of Kargil in between May and July 1999 and running with the hare and hunting with the hounds during the Afghan war waged by the U.S. from 2002. On the face of it, he seemed to have closely allied with America in its feckless invasion of Afghanistan even while being indulgent towards with both the Taliban and Osama bin Laden. Mayank Chhaya Reports and South Asia Monitor spoke to Uday Bhaskar, a retired Indian navy commodore, one of India’s most astute strategic and defense minds and director of the New Delhi thinktank Society for Policy Studies (SPS).
