Re: Dara Shikoh - Persecution continued
Now this is where again Aurangzeb is misused, Aurangzeb was unified commander of the military, no autonomous group were operating, while Zia gave charge to individual group of warriors. Clergy never gained power during Aurangzeb time, nor Aurangzeb had grand “makbara” after his death. Auragzeb was holding a disintegrating empire, Zia changed the direction of Jinnah.
Ninja, Concept of Ummah is down to top, when individual grievances are neutralized, unification is achieved automatically, people can join in the name of religion for sometime but to hold them together one has to eliminate all contesting identities. Zia’s loose militia brought gun culture in the society, in such condition gun becomes the solution, sometimes it solves the problem but most of the time it complicates the problem, retreat of Soviets made these loose militia think that they can wrestle the Kashmir out in the same hard way, unlike afghanistan this terrain was equally known to Indian Army. the porus border brought drugs and guns in Pakistan, there is no quick fix or short term solution to Afghanistan, All contesting parties, Taliban, US, Karzai has to think about it without wielding gun at each other, it is Taliban,US,Karzai etc’s ego because of which Afghan has problem and same is true for my kashmiris.
