I don’t know why European cable shows so many Indian channels, when they just peddle race hate for minorities, they should do what India does and ban all but a few.
India is like an abuser, now even stopping Kashmiri people watching TV. There really is some severe insecurity with them thinking some foreign dramas are even anti national.
I never said that there wasn’t a single incident before then, but the volume exploded after the 1980s once the US started to invest in proxies.
What I am saying is that lots of groups have used terror as a tactic - Israelis used it against Britain in the Ergenekon terror attacks, killing 50...
Yes, but Pakistan leadership was hoodwinked by US designs on the region and paid price for it. Even Hillary Clinton admitted that the US left Pakistan to deal with the terror it created
Yes USSR was mistaken, but in hindsight I don’t think Pakistan could afford to have a Indian-Soviet satellite there so had to do something. But definitely should never have allowed US to unleash its radical agents there, it should have been limited to conventional means
That’s just what I was thinking, Pakistan is a bit like the Switzerland of the region because it is at a crossroads of Central Asia, Mid East & South Asia. So 3 language policy should be there as a minimum.
Dari is logical, but how many people have historically spoken it in the land of...
Was Urdu just chosen as the national language? I don’t know much about the issue, but surely it wasn’t picked out of a hat. If Dari was ‘chosen’ at independence, would that have been accepted?
Nonsense, the established urban cities were in the northern cow belt plains. The area of Pakistan was not invested in till the later years of British rule. Just look at the built up areas of Delhi, Lucknow etc they were invested in much more than Punjab or East Bengal. Even the supposed Islamic...
But everyone forgets how little industry Pakistan received after partition. It only had 7% of existing infrastructure I think.
You need more than that for a full population exchange. I don’t know about BD because that is quite high density already. But maybe you your govt should think about...
But the land wasn’t equal. The industry and prime agricultural land was in the northern cow belt, Pakistan got more mountainous area. Pakistan would need more than Kashmir to accomodate 200m people, but this is what partition should have been I agree.
Congress said partition was not a population exchange, so Pakistan got less land. Really you should have done a full population exchange, but for that Kashmir needs to be given to Pakistan and something to Bangladesh, then fully exchange religious groups.
I’m not sure this is a sign, its been a sign every day since 1948. But the Arabs, despite their overwhelming numbers, and strategic encirclement if Israel have been absolutely hopeless. The Sauds etc despite the oil wealth blessed on them, why have they been so useless for the Palestinian cause...
