Why is India's Hindu leadership so paranoid about Pakistan and Pakistanis? Let us examine the source of India's Pakistan phobia by looking at a series of events in South Asia and various statements made by analysts, strategists and Hindu leaders across the political spectrum.
While the Muslim League led by Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah accepted the British Cabinet Mission's plan of May 16, 1946 to grant broad autonomy to states within united India, the Hindu-dominated Indian National Congress rejected it.
The Cabinet Mission plan envisaged a united independent India with the Muslim-majority provinces grouped together with Sind, Punjab,Baluchistan and North-West Frontier Province forming one group, and Bengal and Assam forming another. It provided for the Hindu-majority provinces in central and southern India to form another group. It gave the central government in Delhi the power to handle defense, currency, and diplomacy, and the rest of powers and responsibility to the provinces, coordinated by groups.
After rejecting the Cabinet Mission plan, the Hindu leadership proceeded to vehemently oppose the inevitable creation of Pakistan in 1947.
The Partition:
Since its unsuccessful bid to stop the Partition in 1947, the Hindu leadership of India has made every effort to make Pakistan fail, starting with the division of assets of British India. Pakistan was allocated 17.5% of the assets and liabilities. Cash was held by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) that delayed the transfer of Rs. 750 million for several months after the partition in an attempt to strangle newborn Pakistan in its cradle. In addition, Pakistan was allocated 165,000 tons of military hardware of which Pakistan received only about 20,000 tons by September 1948. The rest of the 145,000 tons never came to Pakistan.
Why is it that India has worked hard to make Pakistan fail? To answer this question, let us look at how various leaders, strategists and analysts see the India-Pakistan relationship:
Washington-based think tank Brookings Institution's Stephen Cohen:
“One of the most important puzzles of India-Pakistan relations is not why the smaller Pakistan feels encircled and threatened, but why the larger India does. It would seem that India, seven times more populous than Pakistan and five times its size, and which defeated Pakistan in 1971, would feel more secure. This has not been the case and Pakistan remains deeply embedded in Indian thinking. There are historical, strategic, ideological, and domestic reasons why Pakistan remains the central obsession of much of the Indian strategic community, just as India remains Pakistan’s.”
India has Pakistan phobia is what you are taught from childhood. This writer is no different using India to get mileage. You are not doing anything great, the view you have posted need not be told, most Pakistani knows it. All these articles of yours mentioned is not going to change Pakistan into a Super power. Such articles will only help your country lead you towards your end faster.
If you really want to be a hero, write about Pakistan's shortfalls, how to build the country & influence the people, that's being a writer, writing for the welfare of the people & country. It's easy to make articles like yours & post it. In a court of law, if two people are accusing each other, the case has no meaning unless somebody has proof.
So Mr. Haq I would like to ask, whats your take on the image of Pakistan in the world.
I have mentioned before, most countries dont want Pakistanis in their countries. That's reason your Passport is considered useless & among the worst to hold.
Under the nationalities deported from different countries across the globe, Pakistan is the No. 1 nationals deported. This implies the whole world has phobia with Pakistanis.
In the international forum your representatives or Leader doesn't have a say or influence in world affairs.
The world is Pakistan phobic, leave alone India.
Why do you find no. of Pakistanis who are critical about your own country. why's it increasing. Tarek Fateh, Altaf Hussain, Hassan Nisar, Hussain Haqani, Syed Jamaluddin, Najam Sethi.
Your country branded Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan & Fatima Jinnah as traitors. This should tell you the story which nation is phobic. Promote Peace & write for uniting people. Do not spread hatred.
