The ideal Solution for Pakistan is to come out of its rut and into a Modern Unitary State,
~it is unfortunately currently stuck in amnetality of 1979,
~the Iranian Marxist Mulla revolution has created false paradigm to aspire to for certain segments of its society.
The turkish Unitary city governates are the better model and will deliver more tolerance, and bridge the ethnic divides better.
The Mayoral system gives rise to better more competition for natural leader to compete and deliver different models of gioverance to , after all Mr Jinnah visioned his country to be Laboroatory of ideas where ideas for betterment for humnaity could be experimented.
(not Imperialist-extremist combine harvester run by inexperienced unqualified Mullahs like Post '79 Iran).
Pakistan has forogtted it exited the birish Raj not Indian Union - yet it keeps acting like a begrudged Ex-towards Indian Union, ...
this has to do with the above over weight of punjab and sindh (east of the indus are more vedic in nature) and under representation of Balochistan and Frontier in the progress on equal terms,
If you see an interaction between a Punjabi moslem and Punjabi sikh and the interation between a Punjabi Moslem and a Moslem from anywhere else in the world the embrace is much stronger in the first situation, the Caste culture dominates east of the indus
same for Sindhi and other sub regions, this has dragged the mentality of the pople back and allowed them to remain in feudal cluthces and to
The west of the Indus the tribal culture dominates,
Both social dynamic have advantages and diadgavtages but a unitary state works better, dissolving the provinces, or futher devolving them into almost Unitary state, like Turkeys 81 million popluation has 81 governorates - (although populations is skewed in facvour of istanbul 14 million, it averages out alright in tthe End)
The focus of Pakistan has to be as a Dynamic Central Asian Republc with an Arabian Sea anchor, and also EuropeanGreek/Turkish, mongolian embrace - it cannot continue to act like a begrudged child bride of the Indian Union.
The Obama administrations hyphenation of Af-Pak is actuall more Geographically correct, and cuklturally more appropriate.
Afghanistan will be a natural trading partner, as will Kashmir, Tajikistan, china-Xinkiang, Iran and neighbours.
There is no need for any coutry to be ultra expansionist ~
- take Turkey for instance, It cannot ever go back to its Imperial boundaries they proved to be indefensible.
The dreamers of Greater Indus are also in fairyland for this currenct 50 year past and future trajection.
The Punjab is the elephant in the room is the Tail end Waging the Dog/lion, not the dog waggin the tail
whatever you political corectness you want to say, it is very true the Afghan of all ethnicities look down on them as Lentil eating lowlander farmers, the punjabi in turn look down on Others, and so it does on...

Pakistan does have a good case to Extend into Balochistan from Iran - this will alleviate the Iranian sunnni headache, and also reduce the banditry, And a prosperous ubnitary pakistan would benefit from this well.
a unitary pakistani state would be able to absorb and devolve Baloch resources to the people and quell and insurrection, given the split is 60:40 pashtuin to baloch, who also have an omani and Arab identiy as well as iranic the unitary set up would bode well, since regions can adapt 2nd ansd third languages to local trading partners with more ease.
Post Oil Iran will not be as strong as it is today, and so it will have to let go of non-persian heartland territory.
This would be the most realistic and practical Strategic depth and actually helped pakistan in 1965 as the Shah of iran gave this land in that time for free refuelling and airspace.
Iran in return could be accomodated in some way [ there will be cookie to offer somewhere if loooked for], a political concession in a key issue where it required influences or help, say with arabs or central asia

Turkey today does not need to control KRG, yet it can enter and leave at will, and have a great evel of influence. Similar to Azerbaijan which is seen as Turkey,
Afghanistan and Kashmir are likely to be these type of neighbours for Pakistan in the furture, and should it become a unitary state it would be able to exapnd its internal efficney , markets, and manage ethnic dintinctions to its advantage than pit against each other.
Iran will present a similar challeng like Greece is to Turkey, and China/Indian Union will be like Russia,
Pakistan could also move south along coast of Arabia sea towards bay of cambatt, but it would need to acquire a bargain chip to trade off something with Indian Union, in return trade.
So annexing afghanistan is not an option, but also reducing the over-influence of the gignatic Punjab is
The Punjab's over-influcen in Pakistan is actually a key psychological factor in Kashmiri IOK being more conformateble initially in IOK CON-g-RSS dominated IOJK, and this is the same fear in other parts of the Indian Union amongst Moslems.
Shaukat Aziz also mentioned this when he said Musharraf would be sacrificed since he is not from Punjab, well are Nawaz and Asif Bhutto Zardari are out roaming free?
The Truth of the matter is geographically, Pashtun are better suited to dominate military and defence issues whereas Punjab are skilled better at agrarian side, sindhis are better at managing ecnonmy and baloch are great at skilled fighting on plains, etc,
The country must use this to its advantage - instead of putting greengrocer in charge of army, and army guy in charge of bank.
In exploring the unitary State Musharraf proposed further devolutions , hazara governorate etc, this would really reduce sectariansims since the labesl would give comfort to thnic groups although they would not necessaily domonate those regions.
Also the Punjabisation is and has been the optimal vehicle for backdoor-sankritisation of Urdu via back door- all of the media use childish punjabi village terms to describe international incidents, and this elienates non-punjabi speakers to get views and news and be influences elsewhere like CNN of another apprtopirate fake news source.
Pakistan has to decide on Urdu language reform to better intergrate with its arab and cntral Asian neighours ,
and it should stop acting like indian Unions anti-colnialist ( like RSS secret asset Mr Shashi Tharoor - the closet Nazi) trying to play all self-righteous anti-colonialist ->>
Pakistan should actually embrace the English language properly and formally, this is an advantage to use to turn the weakness of its subjugations under britihs colonialism, this will give better intergrations and influence and soft power in neigboouing regions - and in the business and media world, as Enlgish dominates the Science literature, tehcnology, and business realms !!
It is the modern sucessor to latin! Imran Khans retarded idea ot boycott English is as foolish and over simplistic for aincient empires to threaten to boycott court languages of Greek, Hebrew, persian, french or latin.
Having a vibrant English language media Cinema industry would really propell its soft power, to inflence more not need more terrirtory.
- Pakistan is like a crouched giraffe - its to stand in its current territory not new territy to stretch horizonatally, in needs of new territory, but influence its vertical territory. it already has higher.
The lack of coherent language policy, doesnt bode well, let alone pipe dreams of expansionism
The paksitanian obsession with being rejected indian doesnt end with conquest of Indian Union of a Great Moslamic Indus - but also on days to day influence where they are giving away throwing away -free influence to the Indian Union
Some examples:
Paksitani Moslem cuisine is passed off as Indian,
Paksitani is passed of as Desi (sounds like Bangla -desi)
Urdu is passed off as Hindi, ( they are not the same at all !!!)
Presentin abrahamic religon like christinaity and moselsm as the same as pagan ritualised Indian relgion like zoriastrianism, jainsm or santan darma, etc
So what is left as Pakistanian, why dont you simply say you are Indian ( some actually do this in the USa too!)?
Therefore you lost any positive cultural soft-power influence ion the past 70 years, turkey in the past 5 years has dominated world cimena and media.
You have no pride inyour own culture - perhaps this needs to be conquered first, and this terrirtory domain has to be claimed first.
If you control your cultural exports and influences - expecially in this age places like afghanistan will dicrard Bullyshi**twood, and hooly wood for your products, and hence be sypathetic to your cause.

Turkish TV TRT state Tv shows dubbed bollywood Films against Kashmir on its screens, so you are clearly loosing this field.
Its easy to daydream to take over graveyards like afghanistan - remeber to be haunted and keep and exxcosist on speedial for the nightmares.
Paksitan has great potential it is like the crouched Giraffe - the only way is up - if you decide to - and problems are easy to eat-up like the giraffe eats thorny trees,
Hope the notes are well recived since they wish well...
