Untold "Sense" of Pakistan?

Lets just for a moment look into Pakistani Angle.

Pakistan as a Nation was formed of, on a principle of “walking out” with a section of society into a separate state based on being a Muslim.

Apart from the British Rule Legacy of Divide-Rule policy, birth of Pakistan also has roots in the “Political Ambitions” of Muslim Leaders.

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 Pakistan emerged from Bloodshed and massacre. It was formed out of hatred, out of animosity from fellow beings and next door neighbors. In comparison, “Free” India was formed out of hatred towards the “ruler”. Pakistan desired a separate state only to be recognized differently from Hindus, since the then politicians believed India would be a Hindu state.

While India wanted to free from “invaders” and “traders”! India went on to become a Secular Democracy.

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 Kashmir issue.

Well when we can’t have Ambani brothers of 21^st century India amicably settle a partition, how on earth do you expect 2 Nations to settle borders so easily!

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 India was the one of “taking care of too many”. Princely states, few hundred cultures, a few thousand dialects, a few million Gods! Secularism WAS the only way to accommodate every fraction of this magnanimous society!

While Pakistan went on to become as it was intended to be, a Muslim State.

In comparison of the two, secularism in India has empowered every State member and thereby bringing true progress and freedom.

While a “Hardliner” State of Affairs backed by excessive interference of its self-styled Islamist “preachers” has brought about an obvious dictator like governance in Pakistan.

Religion must and must be left to society as a conduct to choose from, rather than influencing Foreign Policies of Nations.

Day one of Independence, was also born Pakistan’s Insecurity.

Pakistan has a Giant neighbor in India with whom it just de-merged out of, a neighbor who is politically more correct, diplomatically stronger, and more resourceful in terms of administration, leadership and People who want to progress! This is not what India has come to be, rather what India was envisaged to be by our Democracy.

This is the point in history, where those “ambitious” leaders of Pakistan were exposed.

It was easy to create a state, but there wasn’t any leadership to guide Pakistan to modernism. Pakistanis wanted a State of Progress which couldn’t be given by their leadership. Those “ambitious” ones lacked vision of the future. Lacked administration, lacked governance.

Hence the Leaders kept strong the “artificially” created “insecurities”. They "prophesied" that survival of Pakistan is under threat from its neighbor.

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 India.

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 Pakistan has NOW finally realized.

Pakistan like India was depending on Foreign aid to progress. Aid wouldn’t come for war. But how to keep fueling the “war” and the “real reason” of “Independent Pakistan” justified to the people of Pakistan?

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, Pakistan elects Democratic Government which is called for by the “real People of Pakistan”, since they so much wanted the CHANGE!

They wanted to move ahead!

They wanted to move on!

Under all such Democratic set-ups the Political view of Pakistan slightly deviates from the original “ambition” and begins to reflect the mindset of the MODERN Pakistanis.

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 Pakistan have long gone and the “Ambition” had now transferred from the Political Leaders to the Pakistani Army!

“People of Pakistan” don’t approve of this set-up, however, understandably so, they are sympathetic towards the Army, the ISI and of course the jehadis.

Pakistan today has more complex nature than 1947.

They are paying the price of their Original Creators and their illicit and wayward political egos. Had peace been declared on 15^th 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 Pakistan want to live a life the rest of the World does.

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 Palestine or LTTE Tiger is.

If not, I have no doubts; India will engage itself into bombing Pakistan after a few more terrorists’ attacks.

That is sad, but Indian Government won’t act till a few more bizarre incidents.

That will be the saddest day in Human history.
