You and the writer of the article of, Maj Gen Singh, are sharing the same pain.
We have moved on in life. People do have their opinions and that can include analysing all the aspects of partition. It was a major event in this part of the world in the previous century.
An Army officer writing an article on external security angle rattles people? Why? Title of the article is a little too catchy and could have been better worded. I don’t think that nuclear weapons with Paksiatn can be called a Nuclear terrorism. It is for it’s external security and is logical considering Indian possession of the same.
Its a colossal failure of Indian Army that Pakistan Army exists today, even when Indian Army "won" all the wars.
No. It’s not the job of Indian Army to to decide the existence of any neighbouring country. That is the forte of PA that thinks that it can decide the existence of IA and Afghanistan. That’s how you have alienated Afghnas so much that they hate you.
IA is supposed to do defence of the nation and it is doing it well. If existence of PA is it’s failure then we are happy with it.
On the contrary the PA has been a huge failure from every possible angle.
- They have subverted the normal rule of governance by imposing themselves a number of times.
- They meddle in and control internal politics.
- They run businesses and are biggest business house in your country
- They meddle in foreign policy and the economic policy
- They are infact the main reason for the mess you are in.
If you think that means success, then go ahead and please keep succeeding.
Paksiatn does occupy a special place in Indian psyche. It has been hyped up by the politicians because it gets good votes. PoliticIans are little dirty when they want votes.
But, practically, Paksiatn can play minuscule role and has negligible impact other than internal security situation here. There is no direct business between both the countries. There is hardly any cultural or people to people exchange either. India mainly doesn’t want Paksiatn to meddle in our internal security situation in Kashmir by giving any material support. Moral support is fine. Want to give speeches in UN and other countries against India then go ahead. But nothing more.
Have you ever seen Indian PM utter your nations name? But, how many times IK used to do it? Modi ignored him and never got provoked. That shows pretty much, who is dominating whose psyche.
Coming to Bollywood movies on Paksiatn. During the Cold War era, every second movie in Hollywood used to be about USSR. They needed a villain and USSR fitted the bill perfectly. It made good narrative and good money too. Same is the case here. So, yes we do have Paksiatn provide us good masala for our movies. Bollywood is a pure business venture, that’s it.
Personally I don’t like those and haven’t seen even one of them.
