There we go. Typical don’t blame India - blame yourself. Don’t point fingers at India - be ashamed of yourself. That’s exactly what I mean how some people conveniently downplay the pivotal and dangerous role India - their arch enemy- played breaking up their country! It’s not even the question of ‘blaming’ India anymore, India had openly accepted responsibility!

All countries have their fault lines and economic and political imbalances. But how many countries just fall apart like that? People who pretend to mourn the Fall of Dakha and use it as an opportunity to defame their National Institution and racially mudsling a whole ethnic group do they ever question, realise and admit that maybe the whole issue would not have gone out of hands and resulted in military catastrophe if their arch rival was not actively involved in wrecking havoc? Maybe the issue of Bangladesh would have settled with time, if their arch enemy was not constantly fueling the fire?

The so called ‘introspection’ ridden with agenda and one sided blame game in Pakistan over the issue of Bengladesh has achieved nothing other than furthering the divide, mistrust between civilian military institutions and creating racist, xenophobic perception against a certain ethnic group. Some Pakistanis would much rather prefer and propagate such narrative then ever admit that we too were stabbed in the game! We were also defeated according to a much larger scheme crafted by our enemies. Why should India be forgiven in the whole story?

Pakistanis are still divided and bitter because of that misplaced anger. If that so called introspection had any real use and value, Pakistan would’ve achieved electoral reform, devolution of power and depoliticised bureaucracy before some posters here born. Considering some people still not think these issues are important enough or worth fighting for sums up just how much such Pakistanis have learned from the Fall of Dhaka.

As with our own fault lines, Pakistan was a young country back then. Bangladesh was geographically detached and culturally very different. Of course there were going to be many problems and there were indeed. On the basis of geographical detachment and religious differences - the Irish Question went on for centuries. I am pretty certain Jinnah was all too aware of the Irish Question and the problem it had caused for a relatively peaceful and civilised British Union. But Brits were clever, they always went out of their way to ensure French and American Revolutionaries never took advantage of the Irish situation. Something that Pakistan failed to do in Bangladesh, but the lesson has been learned when it comes to guarding Balochistan and FATA.

Again, unlike Pakistanis, credit to Indians for developing zero tolerance for external proxies. They admit to all their sensitive religious, ethnic and lingual fault lines, but that doesn’t mean they start rationalising, downplaying and diluting the role external powers can play in dividing their countries into another 20 more blocks.

Maybe there shouldnt have been a “Bengali issue” to begin with.

Blame anyone you like, but don’t use them as an excuse to avoid introspection. Its a lack of introspection that is the issue. What exactly have Pakistanis learned ? Probably nothing, considering how the same people are doing the same thing all over again… Marginalizing entire segments of the population, heavy handed tactics that do nothing but alienate even more people, ignoring injustice for the sake of convenience.

If India is indeed the enemy, then we should expect that sort of behavior from them. I have yet to meet an enemy that would wish you well… So going on and on about how India is the “enemy,” and how they do what is expected off an “enemy” is redundant. They played the role of the villain and Pakistan helped their cause by completely screwing up.

It would be nice if in the future, instead of shaking their collective fists at Indians, Pakistanis fix their internal issues, provide justice and security to her own citizens regalrdless of race or religion, so that India cant exploit such weaknesses.
