I am not at all ideologically or pathologically inimical towards India and her citizens. It is the hatred that the Indians have for Pakistan which is amply clear when one reads the threads here and which surprises me. I have seen very few Indian posters here who have expressed their desire for peaceful co-existence with Pakistan. Anything and everything that happens wrong in India is blamed on Pakistan. There have been many many incidents where Indian intelligence agencies have have clearly attempted to blame Pakistan in order to malign Pakistan. In a recent incident some honest down to earth Pakistani business people were blamed for spreading terror in India. When these people were interviewed by Pakistani media, the intent of official Indian agencies to deliberately malign Pakistan was as visible as daylight. Did the official Indian agency did it deliberately and with the know-tow and approval of Indian government to further the peace process - bull crap.
These agencies are laden with Hindu fundamentalists and hardliners. They don’t want to induct Muslims, Sikhs Christians and other minorities, even the poor shoodars, in these agencies because they don’t trust even their own minorities. It is the creation of Hindu Rashtra that they are after. After the latest incident in which the official Indians government establishments deliberately blamed some innocent Pakistani business people with charges of spreading terror in India, what do we think of Indian PM or their Foreign Minister and other leaders statements laden with peace and friendship. Baghal mein churi – mun mein raam ram.
From reading about the Indian strategy here, it is clear that India is not going to reduce or redeploy her armed forces away from Pakistani borders, irrespective of the peace that may happen, if at all. Their armed forces would remain Pakistan centric in perpetuity because of their strategy. So how can we seek peace with these people while being threatened by the so-called third largest army of the world.
Yes Pakistan does have lot many problems. We are caught in the eye of the storm created by Americans. Yes we have poor leadership, yes we have poor economy – but we have faced this before also and we shall come out on top.
Therefore, I suggest that instead of attempting to improve our relations with Pakistan hating Indians, we should, in conjunction with our natural allies the Chinese keep the Indians boxed in without even allowing them passageway to central asia and any trade facility, which they are trying to gain since long. Let them go through Iran, whom they have already sold in lieu of American good will. Let them provide cheap and slave labour for manufacturing American and Western goods and think that they would become rich by growing a bit more than the 3-4 % of Hindu growth rate. They’ll suffer at the hands of their own so-called friends and their own security forces and the naxals and other secessionist movements will take care of them in not so distant a future. So, relax gentlemen and let them phase out in their self created ignominy.
The premises are utter nonsense. The resultant strategy proposed is conversion of necessity to virtue.
The core reason for hostility between India and Pakistan is Pakistan's reluctance to take no for an answer on Kashmir. From that core reason stem the subsidiary reasons, a bloated military which has distorted the natural growth of the country, and a fixated reliance on the apparatus of terror to force concessions from India, as well as to reduce the difference in military strength by the use of intermittent terrorism to tie up Indian forces.
There is in India a strong and determined peace lobby. There is also a section that wishes only bad things. A third section, very small in number, believes that it might be best to plan and execute hostilities to neutralize these threats to peaceful life in India in a planned manner rather than have trouble thrust upon us, as it has so frequently. Finally, the vast bulk of the country, perhaps about 90%, is indifferent, except when yet another ghastly incident occurs.
It is a moot point which section will prevail. Whichever does, and whatever the strategy adopted, it is highly unlikely to affect the even tenor of life in our country immediately. Bombastic words about an alliance of isolates notwithstanding.
