Once again one of the few voices of reason from the Pakistani side..Pakistan made a historic mistake by choosing Urdu as its national language..permanently conjoining its destiny with India by choosing to converse among its own brethrens in a tongue that was concocted in the bowels of Gangu desh, using Gangu grammar and syntax...The more Pakistan enmires itself in the affairs of the Indian state, the more it has to reluctantly take up the leadership of 600 million odd South Asian Muslims...Pakistan is barely a South Asian state...The are under NWFP and Balcohistan is significantly higher than that under Punjab and Sindh..Gepgraphically it as much Central and West Asia as it is South Asia..If at its birth Pashtuns and Balochs were given a more prominent role and had it thrown its lot with Afghanistan,Iran and Central Asia then by now it would have been long dehyphenated from India...Choosing an Iranic language like Farsi,Pukhtoon or Baloch as its lingua franca would have helped too....Pakistan even got a second chance to decouple itself from South Asia the day it decoupled itself from Bangladesh....Heck there is even a Vedic argument to be made that the lands west of Chenab constitute "non-Indic lands" even if they might be well watered plains...............
But it seems Pakistan is unfortunately beholden to India and its future and this will stop it from taking up its rightful place as respectable member of Greater Central Asia or Greater Khorasan
Lands west of Chenab have long been taboo to Hinduism since the invasions of Indo-Greeks,Scythians etc...My submission will be based on this
