Think what you like, I've met some "Pakistanis" like you who are brainwashed by bollywood and aman ki asha crap.
Coming out of your myopic understanding of history, short sighted approach to what you perceive as national security, the fundamental premise that national security is above social welfare, is impossible for you. Stuck inside a box of hatred of India, we will remain backward and underdeveloped forever. No nation can progress if it remains the security state that we have become.
The guy that you use as an avatar stood for the establishment of a welfare state, not a security state where the people don't have public education, health or access to justice. A country where it is important and justified to buy yet another batch of F-16s rather than treating those who suffer from guinea disease is certainly on a wrong path of welfare.
The only thing hate mongers you like to say is that India is the arch enemy and we'll conquer them all. The mythical sense of pride and glory that you have established for yourselves will work for nobody. Calling everybody a "blood pacifist" or "defeatist mentality" is all you can do.
This thread does not deal with this issue, hence I will not elaborate further on this.
Indians are the ones funding TTP through their consulates in Afghanistan. Where was the Taliban problem before 2002?
As for India supporting TTP from Afghanistan, nobody has denied it but the magnitude of support has always been discussed. We have caught them and we have evidence. Yet, if nobody has been able to bring international limelight to it, then it speaks volumes about either the diplomatic failure or lack of credible evidence.
Are there individuals inside the Indian establishment and intelligence agencies supporting the TTP ? - Certainly
Are indian intelligence agencies supporting the TTP at an institutional level? - I doubt that an institution would be capable of doing it without the approval of the state
Is India supporting the TTP as a state policy? - I highly doubt it. They are not mad. Nor are they going to risk being labeled state sponsors of terrorism but they know that they are far too important globally these days to be painted as evil.
I know, the defense that you'll take would be that of critiquing the government again and saying that the military has provided all evidence and the "corrupt" government has not raised it at the international level because it is some US/Indian stooge. I'm sick and tired of this self righteous attitude.
Where were the Taliban before 2002? They were murdering the Northern Alliance for over a decade. And we supported them alongside Saudi Arabia, we being the only two countries who recognized the Taliban as the legitimate government in Kabul. Afghanistan was no land of peace and harmony before 2002. The US had been after Osama and the Taliban before 9/11 as well.
Our hegemonic ambitions of controlling Afghanistan have only backfired and we have had to pay for our mistakes. You breed terrorists, they play havoc on your soil. As you sow, so shall you reap.
We Pakistanis dont have a problem with any race, ethnicity, or country except india.
Arabs are not our enemies. Some of them are very nice to Pakistanis. Dont cry racism like indians were doing against Australia. Look at Australians now they are so annoyed from indian propaganda against Australia we dont want to do the same with Arab countries.
You are forgetting that it was an Arab Muhammad Bin Qasim who introduced Islam to the region of Pakistan if it wasn't for him we would probably be worshipping hindu or buddhist statues right now.
Nobody has cried racism here. It is obvious that they are racist. You failed to respond to any worthy comments about their racism because of your inherent belief that arabs are somehow superior to us and they must be respected.
The only thing pointed out in this thread is that South Asians are treated bad in the Middle East, laborers are exploited and harassed and arabs do not give them the respect that they deserve.
I do not feel the need to thank arabs for bringing Islam to this region. Some people try to assert that because Arabia is the land of prophets, it means that the people of the land deserve respect. IMO it means that the people of the area were so misguided that they needed prophets to guide them time and again.
Religion is something I do not want to debate on. Religion and patriotism are the best ways to divert attention from the main topic and call names to other people rather than proving their augments as fallacious.
