Indian Sympathizers and Pakistani Patriots

Re: Indian Sympathizers and Pakistani Patriots

I’ll tell you my friend, it’s India.

You might think I’m being biased - I’m not. Pakistan isn’t an angel either and never has been but the level of intrusion by India right now is arguably higher than it’s ever been. Involvement in Karachi, Balochistan, the media (Geo), isolation in sports (cricket, hockey, Kabaddi even).

Imagine if things were the opposite; India was being held back but were still on their knees begging Pakistan - to work in their films (where the roles they get are akin to softcore porn pretty much), to play cricket despite the fact Pakistan had made it clear they want nothing to do with India. On top of all this, imagine Pakistan had funded terrorism in India and continued to do so, which had resulted in the deaths of AT LEAST 60,000 civilians. Would you not want your fellow countrymen to stand up and defend their country? To point out Pakistan’s wrongs when Pakistan was in the wrong?

This is what this whole discussion is about. I’m just sick and tired of Pakistanis not calling a spade a spade. We have a whole host of problems which have nothing to do with any other country but India’s involvement cannot be denied and both sets of problems are linked.

I don’t hate anyone. Like I said before I’m friends with many Indians (and with Israelis). You take each person on their own merit. So being labelled as “blindly hating India, blaming everything on India, being fascist”, when that is not the point at all, when all I’m doing is defending Pakistan, is frankly disgusting.

Hope you get what I’m trying to say here.

I hear you. On the details re 60000 deaths or Balochistan, I have to offer no comments. I try my best not to get too involved - maybe because the news is quite depressing.

I respect the foot soldiers on both sides if the border. And believe they are the biggest victims in this never ending and ever increasing problems and incidents.

Quite frankly the Generals themselves don’t treat the foot soldiers very well. There is the class system where soldiers do grunt work.

While I don’t know details of pay scale, I highly doubt the foot soldier makes more than a barely getting by salary. While the officer class wines and dines and lives lavishly.

But I digress.
