I think you should understand from an Indian about our views of Pakistan and not assume it.
We think of you not as invaders but as Hindu or Buddhist converts (obviously, even you can't deny that it is true for the vast majority, even Pushtuns).
Some of our people converted (due to whatever reasons) and for us it is natural to assume that they were the weaker ones. Either not able to sustain the persecution, jaziyah or other threats. Or weak in faith.
Weak nonetheless.
You may try to associate yourself to Arabs, Turks etc. We don't do that. We see facts for what they are.
Even the invader arse had been kicked by indigenous Hindus and Sikhs much before the British domination started here.
Pakistani parts have never dominated Indian parts in history. It has always been the reverse.[/B]
Then the history after partition and 1971 in particular but all wars between the two.
You are wrong in your assumption. Pakistan is a nuisance but little more. It's nuisance value is also reducing day by day. Most Indians don't care for Pakistan anymore except for the terror.
We have moved on. We feel irritated when even compared with Pakistan.
Probably for the same resons you guys have banned the Af * Pak word here.
This is not to denigrate your country. Just the reality.
Once you get rid of your false assumptions and delusions, it is easier to make the right decisions.
So Pakistani ICBM decision (assuming it has the capability) should depend on its own needs, not because of a mad rush to ape India.
We are in a different league and we are a different civilization.
