Your post demonstrates the India-centricity which destroys Pakistan's chances of being normal.
Your post also demonstrates that if one set of problems is resolved, another set will then be dusted off and brought to the forefront. If Pakistan's fundamental right as a part of the fictitious partition deal is refuted, the UN Resolutions are invoked. If those are shown to be impossible of enforcement because of Pakistan's own intransigence, the innate freedom of self-determination of the residents of the Vale of Kashmir comes forth. Once this becomes a non-issue, the cruel oppression of the people is remembered. Finally, when that fails, the current hot topic: water is the key to Indo-Pakistani tranquillity and mutual tolerance.
I am not sure what the successor to water wars is going to be.
I am not saying this out of hate to anybody. I have been watching the political talk shows and other news channels with pannels sitting discussing the problems of whatever kind like their dying movie industry, their energy problems, their economic problems, recent addition seems to be sovereignty vis a vis USA. At some point India is invoked for sure. The anchors sparks off using India how they have fallen behind us or we are better so on so forth, the rabid anti Indian comments etc can be accepted as after all we are enemies for such a long time, however what absolutely frightens me is the anti Hindu sentiments expressed.
Crazy people talk on these shows some times at every end or start or middle of problems there is India. Most notable thing is some how people with balanced oh yes they are there seem to be in very much minority and they are either called Indian paid or American paid!!! To ask the awaam to look inwards before outwards is a blasphemy.
Some of the worst comments i heard are like
1) On a program some producer who is being castigated for investing in Indian film industry rather than Pakistani while giving perfect reasons just throws in a brilliant one saying all the actresses in India are not better than working maids in Pakistani houses!!!!! he killed it with that one line. Apparently this gentleman has worked with Mahesh Bhatt. Mashallah.
2) A anchor expresses anti semitism (of the worst kind i have ever heard) and anti Hindu (or anti Baniya i don't know what to say) before going on to talk about some bad qualities of Pakistani leaders and public. Is this prelude an attempt to say i am one of you so don't get angry even if i sound harsh?? This gentleman in another show says Lal Bahadur shastry died of heart attack because Indian public were angry with him thinking he had compromised on Indian interests and came shouting to his house, and his daughter conveyed this to him
3) A program goes on about Pakistani economy and the gentleman in the audience says it is the mistake of munnis and sheilas of India !!!!!!
4) One Mr. Azizi does a comedy expounding the horrible characteristics of the Hindu Baniya and how he (in the character of a septugenarian) and his ancestors have been warned of his guile !!!!!!! Laughed myself of the seat.
5) By chance my eyes fell on a show where the host and an apparently knowledgable person say that Pakistani koum has become confused because they missed sharing the common history with India by aligning themselves with Arabs and that we are one and 'we' pushed the dravidians to the south. Oh my my an other IVC thread on youtube.
The talk about they winning the 1965 war has been mentioned in numerous shows by audience and corrected (thank god!!!) by the hosts or participants. I mean the hatred and the distortion is so prevalent that it is accepted as the truth and anybody saying otherwise is seen with suspicions. It somehow happens that the entire world (sorry except China and Saudi Arabia or Saudi Arabia and China, take your pick) is out with daggers in their back pocket to slit the gullible Pakistani Nuclear Islami Takat.
I know the standard retort from the Pakistani segment will be my obsession with Pakistani media, Pakistan etc and my Indian problem of hatred towards Pakistan and generalization but if the Public is so filled with this kind of facts and figures and personalities then what the heck is this guy on talking about normality ??
You are thinking of water wars successor ?? are u not aware of Zaid Hamid and his Ghazwa e Hind ?? he has been promoted from local channels in Pakistan to now some what International channels where sitting on the panel as an "Security Analyst" running "Brasstacks" talks about the fourth fifth and sixth gen warfare Pakistan fights. Even if he is considered a nuisance there are lots and lots of personalities out there with lots of issues with India. Nobody will be able to guess.
