Roadrunner,
Why do you jump to conclusion before reading completely??
My posts were in to say order of development of my understanding of Durand line.
Read the next two posts.
To reiterate, the question is not whether Pakistan inherited the treaties from British India. The question is regarding Afghanistan's acceptance of Pakistan as such. These two are completely different. Afghanistan says Pakistan is not.
Dud, you Bharatis are obsessed with names. The same for the naming of Bharat. Just because you called your country India in 1947, does not mean you can claim all of Pakistan's history (India is derived from Sindh). The treaty is a geographical one, you can change the name of Afghanistan to Pakistan, and Pakistan to Bhrat, and NWFP and Balochistan would still legally belong to Pakistan.
Now I know that people will deal this as flame bait, I just got a weird thought in my mind.
Status as on 1970: East Pakistan has more pakistani population than west pakistan.
in 1971, when east pakistan became bangladesh, so majorities of pakistanis became bangladeshis. So if I apply the same majority population concept used by "Pakistan" for Kashmir in this case, shouldnt Bangladesh be treated as the "true Pakistan".
By the extension of this logic, is Kashmir a dispute between India and Present day Pakistan/Bangladesh? What makes present day Pakistan have the higher authority in this case?
Please also note, I will extend the same logic which you will use on this dispute for the durand line dispute also. So, I require a logic which validates Pakistani position with respect to durand line and kashmir?
Interchangebilities for the sake of convenience:
i)
British India : "Past Pakistan"
durandline : kashmir.
afghanistan : india
ii)
present India: "present Pakistan"
pakistan: bangladesh
i) is immutable, where as (ii) is mutable. So for two I will ask you why you took a particular mutation and why not the other mutation.
Can anybody with a legal brackground help me out in the nuances? The ideas are hazy
Look Dud. Bangladesh wanted to call itself Bangladesh, and West Pakistan wanted to call itself Pakistan. There's no inheriting of names in this case.. how can you not see the obvious?
