Swaamee Aprtemaanandaa Jee is the main person who had helped avert Indo-Pak war in the
aftermath of 26 November Mumbai attack, by making effective use of internet tools.
After the 26 November Mumbai attack, the Congress government led by Manmohan
Singh under intense domestic popular pressure to strike back militarily against
Pakistan was on the verge of hitting Pakistan militarily hard which would have definitely
caused a full-fledged South Asian regional war. He realized the folly of the
impending danger to the millions of innocent lives on both sides of the border
with a nuclear-armed Pakistan resorting to nuclear warfare in the event of a
military defeat at the hands of the Indian military. He took to the internet.
He relentlessly sent emails to different Indian government offices and
officials, media houses and engaged on internet in public discourse highlighting
the pitfalls and dangers of any military escalation between India and Pakistan.
His intense efforts paid off. The Indian government which was almost on the
verge of striking Pakistan militarily hard understood the political wisdom of
his words and decided to not resort to any hard military action against
Pakistan. This change of political mind on the part of the Indian government
cooled down the hot temperatures on both sides of the border and led to peace
in the South Asian region. His success demonstrated clearly the powerful way in
which even an ordinary citizen can make a difference by making effective use of
the internet tools to help governments take the correct policy decisions in the
interest of the world peace.
THE REASONS AS TO WHY THE IMPACT CREATED BY SWAAMEE APRTEMAANANDAA
JEE IS SO INSPIRING AND WORTH NOBEL PRIZE FOR PEACE
In
those days of misfortune, especially from the year 2005 to 2012, he used to
receive a meagre sum of Rupees 500 (equivalent to US $ 8) as a help cum charity
from well-wishers once in a while every 3-4 months Rs 400 (US $ 6) to Rs 450 (US
$ 7) of which would invariably be spent for paying as charges for surfing the
net that included posting of articles, poems, comments, sending emails to
different media houses and different influential world entities in different
fields, etc. It were as if Sachin Tendulkar or Priyanka Chopra gave away in charity
90 percent of their own earnings running into hundreds of crores of Rupee from
endorsements. His well-wishers would often feel perplexed by his media addiction,
peace addiction and spiritual addiction. They would often advise him not to
waste money on the net surfing. They would ask him to spend money to meet his
own personal needs such as medicines, etc., instead. They would say, “(Swaamee
Aprtemaanandaa Jee) Where is your name in the newspaper? Who has given you
credit for the impact created by your net surfing?” and then they themselves
would say in answer, “No one! So, why are you wasting your money? Don’t waste
it. Use it to meet your own personal needs.” It is these financially
challenging and socially tough circumstances in which Swaamee Aprtemaanandaa
Jee had made an impeccable impact by helping thwart the Indo-Pak war in the
aftermath of the 26 November Mumbai attack that makes his contribution to the
world peace really inspiring and worth the Nobel Prize for Peace.
DO THE NOBEL PRIZE COMMITTEE AND THOSE TALKING BIG ABOUT THE PROMOTION OF THE WORLD PEACE REALLY HAVE SOME TIME TO SPARE TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE UNSUNG REAL GLOBAL PEACE HEROES SUCH AS SWAAMEE APRTEMAANANDAA JEE?
