Nope I heard it from the dalits alot though... Lol

Oh wow.

You know who a dalit is, and have friends among them.

Awesome.

You are the last word in cultural breadth of experience, dude.

Yup, his mum was raped while fetching water from a well. Another got lynched after selling beef.

Do I believe you? Seriously?

Just an option, we need to consider all options to stop Pakistan being attacked. Pakistan suffering direct attacks from Afghan soil is unacceptable and we need to get it across to Afghanistan to take it seriously and to take Indian sponsored terrorists to task.

Well that is fair. However voicing such opinions without caveats & with strong words gives a stick to our enemies to brandish at us. This is how to lose a narrative war. I hope you would be a bit more mindful of that. We do not want to across as bloodthirsty fanatics.

A good practice is to read once what you are about to post & feel how it sounds. That takes care of a lot of unbalanced stuff. Do not wait to correct something even after you have posted it. That just shows maturity.

Did you see how Biden came across when he not only blocked Afghanistan's funds but also decided to distribute half of them to 9/11 victims' families while common Afghans starve? Yes that is what I mean. We are not that & we must not come across like that either - whether or not we have options.

Sometimes we want to across as bloodthirsty fanatics so that our enemies take us seriously and know that we mean business and Pakistan is no country to be messed with.

Guys it's OK to have such normal things. No one was defeated, no one turned devil in one night, no one Victor. Its just a small trade transaction, that's pretty much it.

You may try to sweep it under the carpet...but Pakistan's government made a big issue out of it...first they denied, then asked for toll, then put condition on ferrying it using Pakistan's trucks.....and then budged. Should have allowed it as it is a humanitarian aid, especially when IK is lobbying so hard for Taliban ruled Afghanistan around the globe.

No one is angel, and Indian role in Afghanistan has not always been so promising. So Pakistan anyway gave permission.

Bro, how many tourists visit us? See what coming across as bloodthirsty fanatics does to you?

Bro, when your nation is threatened the last thing on your mind should be tourists. When we have safe borders and good internal security and a lively economy tourists will flock in.

Nope the first thing should be tourists.

You are not thinking my friend. Who wants to visit a jail, even for fun? Do you know how it un-nerves foreigners when they see gun-toting guards, policemen, rangers, etc...? We are conditioned to think that seeing armed men gives a feeling of security, but regular folks take that as a sign or trouble - why have armed personnel openly carrying arms? To them it means that something is wrong.

So, do not just be hung up on security. Pakistan's severest challenge is low HDI & poor economy. This is entirely due to security-centered thinking. We invested resources in security, not development of people & economy. Therefore, the narrative war is important & it is fought with allies. Tourists are allies when they go & talk about their good experiences.

You really need to expand your mental horizons & not get hung up on tit-for-tat zero-sum games.

One bombing and the tourists all run off. You don't think about inviting guests to your house while it is being attacked, do you? Our highest priority is security for our citizens and with rampant Indian sponsored terrorism in Pakistan this needs to be addressed first. India has found an Achilles heel in Baluchistan and their agents are running amok financing terrorists all over Pakistan. Whether we like it or not war has been imposed on us and it is best we rise up to the challenge rather than put our heads in the sand. India wants to make a Bangladesh of us and flower power IK isn't helping things with his soft image.

We are so far off the topic that it is pointless to continue. Let me just say that you are still hung up on security lens as the only way to view things. I could write multiple paragraphs to contest each of your assertions, but it would be a pointless exchange seeing that you do not wish to look at the broader picture. Let us agree to disagree & continue along our respective ways. Thanks.
