Re: What has kept Pakistan together for 60 years?

Islam even failed to keep sahaba united. If Islam was really strong, we would have not seen fighting between Ali, Usman, Mawvia, Aisha, Yazid, Hussain, Ummvies, Abbaises, Alvies etc.

Re: What has kept Pakistan together for 60 years?

What I know, two things keeps a country united and two things could divide a country. Now it is anyone’s guess what kept Pakistan united and what may divide Pakistan if it would ever happen.

Before understanding that, one has to realise that by nature (since history started) majority of the people in any country (or community) are zombies. People are more concerned about their personal life than who rules the country. Individuals have their moments of revolt but overall people stay docile. They obey the power ruling and the system existing without revolt unless … life becomes difficult for people (economical life deteriorates and injustice prevails) and there is a strong leadership that could make them revolt.

That is the reason English with few thousands of their people buying the loyalty of local population, hiring them to subdue their own people, ruled many world places. Even today, just for the sake of few dollars (or one can say, for personal economical betterment) many so-called pro-taliban live in USA and were living in west (while moaning about western culture and government) even when Taliban was ruling Afghanistan ... vast majority of these people never left west to live in Afghanistan for the sake of ideology and to support Taliban running the country.

[Many of us live in west (even if they moan) for same economical reason and betterment of life, even though they go on holidays to Pakistan (going there on holidays shows that there is nothing that stops them living in Pakistan, as when they are not so worried to do holiday there, what stop them to live there, other than economical reasons … or reason that effect their worldly life?).

Most who are in Pakistan would also like to leave Pakistan (only lack of opportunity stops them). According to some, if USA starts giving immigration to all, Pakistan would lose over 90 percent of population to USA (as for pro-taliban, they would follow too. If given opportunity, even mullah Umar would move to USA and would start ‘Mullah Umar Chapli kebab’ shop on Miami Beach).]

Hence, things that keep a country united:

A: Military power behind government … that is brute force over people.
B. strong economical performance that keeps the people satisfied and thus they keep away form power centres that can destabilise the country.

Things that could destabilise and could divide a country.

A: Politicians (along with military generals, they are power centres) ... they can provide strong leadership that can motivate people and get their supports, that can challenge the existing power for whatever reason.
B: Interference of foreign powers (military or economical forces) stronger than force uniting a country.

There is hadith from Hazrat Ali (RA), according to that … a kingdom (riyasaat) can survive under kufur but it is difficult to survive under injustice (here injustice does not mean injustice to leaders but ordinary people in general).

[Tyranny is when rulers start mal-treating ordinary people, abuses, do injustices and atrocities on people … than what happens is that a politician (public leader) might find opportunity to gather enough force behind him to destabilise and challenge the ruler. Thus, to save from such eventuality, normally a tyrant makes sure that all opposition politicians get executed as well].

Re: What has kept Pakistan together for 60 years?

In every walk of life and almost every institution - arts and entertainment, culture, fashion, food, sports, religion, government and politics, economy and business, the armed forces, science & technology, and others we have people from practically every ethnicity, religion, sect and language of Pakistan represented.

When we watch and cheer on our cricketers or artists, or buy what we wear, eat what we do, go the bank or shopping mall, remember our nation’s founders or our fallen martyrs or even consult our favourite pir or mullah do we care about ethinic origin of the person or item or such? Nope! We all continue to fly one flag - the Pakistani flag, and will continue to do so for 60 more years - whatever a small but hateful minority say. :jhanda:
