Lets just for a moment look into Pakistani Angle.
Apart from the British Rule Legacy of Divide-Rule policy, birth of
These leaders who well knew that even in a Secular India; they would always be second-rung politicians.
Of course the reason being, Independent India also had as much scars of the Moghul rule as of the English! Sad testimony to the fact remains that we never had till date a non-Hindu Prime Minister!
Formation of
While
No, I am not trying to say formation of Pakistan was illegitimate. My point here being, the formation was attached with more intense emotion being bred by wrong "propaganda" of Anti-Hindu. The British in my mind orchestrated this to perfection!
And as many borders disputes around the World, was born the
Well when we can’t have Ambani brothers of 21st century
There are enough instances in World History that border disputes are intrinsic nature of Human Civilization.
Since inception Pakistan has always seen India guided by a Democratic Government and leaders of high repute to quickly bury the “fate of being ruled” to the one of progress.
The political situation in
While
In comparison of the two, secularism in
While a “Hardliner” State of
Religion must and must be left to society as a conduct to choose from, rather than influencing Foreign Policies of Nations.
Day one of
This is the point in history, where those “ambitious” leaders of
It was easy to create a state, but there wasn’t any leadership to guide
Hence the Leaders kept strong the “artificially” created “insecurities”. They "prophesied" that survival of
Instead of taking the country over the "hangover" of independence to the one of prosperity, the then Pakistani Leadership continued with “sentimentally” and “emotionally” rhetoric against
They have stayed in the Hangover over protecting the border TILL DATE.
All this has contributed to the born an Ideology in Pakistan, that India is their “Enemy”, while in reality India only protected herself from this notorious neighbor Government and continued to progress. An obvious reality that
Hence was born the extremists! They needed a Government backing, else who would fund them? And this role was taken up by ISI!
The Madrassas whose real purpose was to educate beautiful Islam began to get infiltrated by jehadis and found a strong root in the country. Matters were made worse, by “close ties” with the neighboring Taliban.
All Armies and Intelligence Agencies thrive being “Actively” involved in confrontation rather than being “passively” present. That is the purpose they are for! You cannot blame a soldier to “relish” being part of the “real Government”! That is Human Nature to say!
How on earth would you justify the HUGE proportion of Pakistani budget going into their Defense System?! Read “offense” and not defense!
It’s easy isn’t it; you call the jehadis as Freedom Fighters, justify their cause, classify them as independent “actors” and win over an average Pakistani’s heart and his “undocumented” vote to keep the jehad going. The average Pakistani never knew what is being transpired!
Once in a while,
They wanted to move ahead!
They wanted to move on!
Under all such Democratic set-ups the Political view of
The Government pushes harder for development, trade and commerce.
All of a sudden the “original ambition” seems fading.
In comes the ISI and the Army reminding the country of the same, by staging those coups and the routinely sabotaging successive Governments. Always being backed by the Extremists calling for every Democratic Head of State's "soul" in the name of “National Security”
By now, the “originators” of
“People of
They are paying the price of their Original Creators and their illicit and wayward political egos. Had peace been declared on 15th August 1947 and no “artificial insecurities” and “boundary expanding ambition” harbored, the Sub-Continent would have had 2 strong economies rather than 1!
Today’s Pakistan Government indeed wants to rid itself from the “baggage” it carries.
People of
They want to educate themselves and go about their lives with an absolute sense of freedom.
The Government though, is in a situation of “sea on one side, cliff on the other”. It cannot get rid of Extremism which are the creation of the Political Situation, and also have to keep feeding the Extremists for its own survival.
My prediction:
Violent jehad which is not the true character of Islam. It is a manipulated theory fantasized by those handful elements of the Pakistani Society for their vested egos and those shortsighted clerics and self-styled protectors of Islam. It has been taken forward from years to its current dangerous forms purely because illiterate and ignorant youth is inspired by misinterpretation of History.
BUT Yes, Terrorism will end!
It shall either be Pakistani Government or by World War-III.
I say the Pakistani Government, because they are on the brink of not only diplomatic isolation, but also Social and Cultural isolation. An average Pakistani is looked at by the World much differently. Even more than a
If not, I have no doubts;
That is sad, but Indian Government won’t act till a few more bizarre incidents.
That will be the saddest day in Human history.
