Re: ISI’s dirty war against Pakistan
I understand what you are trying to say. I don’t believe that the “two nation” theory is completely bunk because of how Pakistan turned out. A lot of the problems you listed about Pakistan (it’s ugly history and present state of oppressing religious/ethnic minorities for one thing) aren’t caused by the two nation theory. Obviously the two nation theory discussion and its validity is a whole different topic, but Pakistan’s main problems come from ****ty government after ****ty government and the deep-seated prejudices that have seriously been taken advantage of (Pakistan isn’t the only country with ethnic conflicts and definitely not the only country that has oppressed shias), among other many reasons. I’m not against your critical attitude, but there is no point in trying to counter blind patriotism with stanning India or the idea that a united subcontinent would have been better. But yes, sure America’s presence hasn’t had the best effects in the region (what an understatement), but Pakistan and Pakistanis do need an outlook adjustment and to self reflect a little.
