World Media and Hysteria Over Pakistan's Collapse

How exactly?

A stable Pakistan is not in India's interest so why should we bother?

Your Mind may be Ignited but with due respect to your Mind, it (your Mind) is fast asleep.

It is the enemies of India who would grudge the statement "If Pakistan descends further into violence and chaos, India will suffer from the fallout."

India must help Pakistan becoming a Stable State, of course, within the Interests of India and without jeopardizing India's Integrity as well as Security.

Circular logic.

Try and come up with better reasoning next time. Start with 'why'.
 
a stable pakistan is in deep interest of india. imagine a situation where pakistan distigrates, then wat happens. there are 4-5 new found nuclear armed countries next to indian border. will it be acceptable to indian public? a big no. wat happens if one of these states is governed my a pshycho "mullah" he will threaten not only india but the whole world with nuclear weapons.

i think indian beaurcracy is playing a waiting game at the moment. they are happy that pakistan is descending to chaos but know the serious problems which can happen if this thing continues too long.

i think its time for pakistanis to realise, that their biggest challenge lies inside and not from india. if pakistan makes sincere efforts to eradicate terrorism from its soil then india should help pakistan economicallly and diplomatically.
 
I'm tired of hearing this shyte. If one thing is certain.. Pakistan is never gonna disintegrate. It has been at the brink many times. But it has always, and I mean ALWAYS survived.
 
We just closed a thread on the 'disintegration of Pakistan's by an Indian author, penned in the aftermath of the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, when the Taliban were on the rise and actually physically controlled large swathes of territory in FATA and Swat.

None of those predictions came true.

Now, yet again, we have another article predicting the demise of Pakistan, this time in the aftermath of the assassination of Salman Taseer, and yet again broad liberties are taken in predicting the 'demise of Pakistan'. There is a whole cottage industry built on bashing Pakistan and predictions its demise.

Ever wondered why there are so many authors thinking about possible disintegration of pakistan?
What makes them drive their thoughts in this direction?There has to be some driving factor?
Combine the factors and the result can indeed be devastating because there is not doubt that Pakistan is badly unstable right now.USA on one end,Taliban on other and people like who assassinated Salman Taseer on the other and the baseless government itself.

These factors are highly devastating.You say about the predictions made earlier,take the earlier position of Pakistan and compare it with today's Pakistan,there are 2 different pictures.
So the change in Pakistan's economic/administrative condition also counts in.
 
sometimes it makes me laugh when i read such stories in western world . I am so shocked at the dearth of knowledge these writers have about Pakistan . Our local journalists and column writers are very well informed compared to the western writers (ok fair ... ) .Every word of information coming from western media is not trustworthy .
As for Pakistan , it stood earthquakes , floods , wars , even lost half her body but it continued to defy odds stacked against it and THIS COUNTRY WILL STAND INSHALLAH because it was born on Lailatul Qadar , in the last 10 days of Ramdhan . Islam is her DNA .
 
Gunmen have shot dead at least 17 people in fresh violence in the Pakistani city of Karachi.

A television journalist was among the dead after the attack in the country's commercial hub.

"At least 17 people have died in the past three days by firing by unknown gunmen in several parts of Karachi," the city police chief, Fayyaz Leghari, said.

After hundreds of killings last year, there are concerns that violence in Pakistan could escalate and create a new crisis for the US-backed government.

Analysts and security officials blame much of the trouble on the rivalry between the two main parties, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, and the Awami National party, both part of the ruling coalition.

The MQM represents the interests of majority Urdu-speaking mohajirs, while the ANP is linked to the growing Pashtun minority. Conflicty between party members is partly fuelled by ethnic tension.

The Pakistani government also faces a Taliban insurgency.

Eight gunmen in the south-west of the country have torched 14 tankers carrying fuel for US and Nato troops in Afghanistan.

A driver was wounded during the latest attack, which occurred in the Dera Murad Jamali area of Balochistan province, government official Fatteh Mohammed said.

The tankers were parked at a roadside restaurant when the attack occurred.

Such attacks by Islamic militants and criminals on supplies, which usually arrive in the port city of Karachi and travel overland to Afghanistan through two main border crossings, have become common.

As a result, the US has been relying on other supply routes through countries north of Afghanistan.

As India celebrates its own economic success
No doubt there is economic success, but not all are feeling it of course - especially over the past few months.

A question to Indian posters on the back of this, you're currently facing inflation issues, the squeeze is being felt not only by the poor, but I'm sure the middle classes as well. Another petrol price hike is on its way, which will only fuel the problem (no pun intended).

Are there any protests breaking out yet? Any rumblings of discontent? Do you think this could happen, and affect stability?

Would be good to get your perspective on how people are reacting.
 
This so called expert spent his college life partying and drugging up now he needs to secure a job and Pak-China bashing these days is in fashion.

Yes bro we are feeling the pinch. But we have seen it all before. High commodity prices is not new to India. This is not the first time that onions vanished from the shops. So we have seen all that and been there. Now the onions are coming back. The inflation too will ease up in the coming months. The petrol prices will continue to go north of course, the only answer to that is to go CNG. I feel the Indian auto manufacturers will soon stop making cars that run on petrol.

The 'protests breaking out and rumblings of discontent' happen here all the time. But these rumblings and protests take the form of the opposition trying to sort out the government of the day in the Parliament. The pressure exerted is generally enough to force the government into taking remedial measures to resolve the situation. You will rarely see riots occurring in India. If they do rarely occur, they are minor and localised in nature and soon brought under control.

The best part of being a democracy where the government is accountable to the people is that conditions which hurt the people do not last long as the government is forced to act or else risk getting booted out in a mid term poll.
 
Pakistan and India can only solve its crisis when the leaders keep their ego aside and sit for talks once again, a healthier relationship will not only lead to peace but also prosperity.
 
The author of the article is oblivious of the ground realities. If things were so simple between IND-PAK that one country offered help and other took it and both propered then things wouldn't be as they are today. The article is good reading for someone sitting in west but reality is waaaaay more complicated.

Coming to the point weather India should help Pakistan, our current approach is correct one. Its best to stay off. Pakistan is a sovereign country and unless it asks for help there is no reason to poke our nose in their matters otherwise things things will only get worse. The flood relief offer from India and related incidents are a good example for it.

And yeah one important correction.
This is a problem that might seem ripe for U.S. mediation. Washington has close ties with both countries, after all, and it could act as an honest broker on issues such as Kashmir, which is ruled by India but claimed by both countries. But Indians say that American intervention could just make matters worse - poisoning public opinion against any deal that emerged.
Part of Kashmir is also ruled by Pakistan and China.
