Ever
since it’s Establishment in 1947, Pakistan, has been coddling itself to be
champion of Islam in south Asia. Obsessed with its incessant and ultimate dream
of re-establishing Islamic rule in India, it has endeavored on many a low cost
low, intensity war against India. The four conventional wars of 1947, 1965,
1971 and Kargil conflict of the late 90s have been well recorded and documented
ones, these wars did have birth and full stop dates. The non conventional ones
aka terrorism unleashed have no ends, although it started with the Afridi tribe
raids of Kashmir in 1947. The cash strapped nascent state of Pakistan never
shamed itself at the use Afridi tribes nor their descendants -the Pak-Army
dishonored by the modern day terrorists, the Mujahids, Razakars, AlBadr and
AlShams of 1971. Even after its 1971 debacle, Pakistan continued with its
policy of Bleed India with a thousand cuts, by its persistent patronage to
various anti-national movements within India. Terrorism is in the DNA of
Pakistan.
The
mushrooming madrasas in Pakistan have often functioned as breeding grounds for
terrorists. Rather than propagation the
peace, the message of Islam, the madrasas contrarily propagate hatred towards
other faiths. The suicidal 26/11 Mumbai attack was a venomous attempt of
Pakistan to equate “Arab land grabbing” Jews with “Hindu” India. Given the
tarnished Image of Israel in the Islamic world, Pakistan endeavored to portray
India as a “Muslim Land grabbing” country. Strangely, Indian Muslims far
outnumber the population of Pakistan and happens to be world’s second largest
Muslim Inhabited country.
The ISI’s tight grip over its various “loose”
terrorist organizations have Jeopardized the security of many of its neighbors
and its allies. ISI is a double ally both to the west and to the Jehadi Mujahids.
Across the world Pakistan has roosted from its roof tops, claiming it to be a
victim of terrorism. Victim of terrorism? Who financed these terrorists? Its
India, no it’s the US, or may be Israel. The average Pakistani probably knows
the answer better than us; it’s their taxpayer’s money. Pakistan has been a
victim of its making.
Given
the proliferating records of its nukes, asylum it provides to the world terrors
who’s who, and the scant respect which Pakistan has for the sovereignty of
other nations, there are a few countries in the world which would emphasize
with Pakistan, when its own sovereignty is at stake. Counties that lease/rent
their military assets for Dollars shouldn’t plead sovereignty in their own constituency.
The military posturing of Pakistan and counter aid blocking posture of US is a
mere manifestation of the underground bargain business dealing of these allies.
How
far can Pakistan’s terror infested economy sustain without American aid? Well they
are prepared for the worst; to make a better bargain with the US! The MFN
status to India may be a stop gap arrangement for Pakistan’s ailing economy, or
a new future move reserved for another Military dictator in making. The kind of
feelers one gets from Pakistan, joint production of films, cross investments in
Mutual funds, cross listing of companies in stock exchanges and the incessant
fem-fatal bombs from Pakistan looks very artificial. Complete and total
surrender to economic realities, that too from a enemy state? One must take
these moves with a pinch of salt, for these moves may lead to a possible Reunification.
Or whether these are the right steps which Pakistan must take, to stop its
transformation to an Afghanistan? Gen.Kayani holds the key to this answer, may
god show him the right path.
