Inevitable disintegration of india

[yahooo]

I started off by saying that all this talk about India distingerating is rubbish. I accepted that the Indian economy is improving, and appreciated the stable political system. So you can’t put me in the fundo Jihadi category, or accuse me of “ideological terrorism”. For your information, I have visited India twice, and have spoken to this new Indian middle class. This particular social group in India is the most anti-Pakistan, or dear I say anti-Muslim. So I know what I am talking about. The ordinary Indian I spoke was welcoming, but this new “mall” crowd does have extreme views. They are also a vocal minority, and the Congress is desperate for its support, as they have traditionaly supported the BJP. So after the Mumbai, the Indian government had to no interest to resolve this issue by talking to the Pakistanis, to defang the LET. Instead they did a lot of grand standing.

Ditto. India has stubbornly adopted a belligerent stance primarily because anti-Pakistan rhetoric helps garner votes of the pro-BJP middle classes. In contrast, electoral success of neither PPP nor PMLN- the two major players in the Pakistani political landscape- hinge on adoption of anti-India stance. Even Imran Khan, leader of the third relatively influential party, despite his penchant to embrace more radical/outlandish notions, is not an advocate of hostility with Pakistan’s eastern neighbour.

While the reluctance, from educated, rational people no less, to mend relations might seem curios at first, I don’t think it is very surprising on hindsight. After all, people of Pakistan do not feel victims of the great twin theft, that is the dismemberment of the indivisible ‘mother’ India by people who converted from the religion native to the land.
