Shanti Vistaar - शांती विस्तार

There is a country called ShantiDesh which has a neighbour called Aakramistan. Their identities and ideology being vastly different, they were always in a conflict situation, for decades. Fact is that population of ShantiDesh was larger than Aakramistan and its national economy even larger. However, the former had spent vast sums in building defence, border fencing, mutual talks, training troops to keep a check on the infiltration and aggression by bad elements from Aakramistan. This money could have improved QualityOfLife for its population in basic ways. 

After much thought and calculations, with back up plans in place, a new method is tried out. Why should ShantiDesh citizens keep defending and blocking infiltration by anti-human elements from Aakramistan? Keeping population dividend in mind, why not the adventurous and depressed citizens of ShantiDesh instead, infiltrate the nation of Aakramistan? The ShantiDesh-NGOs offered funds, equipment to its such citizens to move into Aakramistan. Insurenace plans were offered to those who accepted the challenge. 

The border fencing was pulled down, the troops withdrawn to back up position, and advocacy among many millions of adventurous/depressed citizens, worked wonders at the border. Some died, there was tremendous upheavel, minor warfare, but millions made it into the unhappy land of Aakramistan. As more moved in, the basic ideology of Akramistan underwent change and the bad elements were isolated and killed or kicked out. A new chapter of society developed in Aakramistan, which abjurs ideology as prime mover and embraces humanity as main plank. The whole balance changed. 

The plan is basically to fight them, then join them and change them. Why keep withdrawing and accomodating the bad when the larger good can force a major change. How many citizens of ShantiDesh could Aakramistan people kill or push back? The basic peace loving human life can and must overpower the distructive forces, for meaningful evolution of Humankind. For those who are wondering which nation today is ShantiDesh, you will be astounded. Many may be tempted to look in SouthAsia, but the original story is of NorthAmerica, however the principle is the same here, waiting to happen again.
