Kayani’s extension is Zardari’s insurance



General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani will be Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff till 2013. But the three-year extension he has been given in the name of “continuity” in the war against terrorism on the borders with Afghanistan shows the PPP-led government as weak and subservient when it comes to dealing with the Khakis.The General’s a Punjabi unlike Pervez Musharraf who was always conscious of his Mohajir roots that made him a bit vulnerable in the Army set-up dominated by Punjabis and Pakhtoons.

His image at home took a beating when troops stormed Islamabad’s Lal Masjid (occupied by Islamic fundamentalists) and went after Baloch Nationalist Nawab Akbar Bugti in Balochistan.

Politically, these actions made Musharraf the most isolated military ruler in Pakistan’s history. Kayani in contrast is given credit for the successful military action in Swat and South Waziristan to clear the areas of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan whose armed cadres had surged dangerously close to Islamabad.

There are no prizes for guessing therefore as to who holds the reins of power? It’s Kayani without doubt though Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani ordered his extension in consultation with President Asif Zardari.

The powers these worthies have on paper are a trifle misleading. The recent Constitutional reforms only saw a civilian President ceding his powers (to dissolve the assembly or appoint the services chiefs) to a civilian Premier. The third face in the troika— that of the Army Chief — remained unaffected by the changes touted as a major achievement of Parliament and the ruling Pakistan People’s Party.

In his extended tenure, Kayani will outlast Zardari and Gilani in office. He did indeed help democracy by remaining aloof in the 2008 elections that brought the PPP to power and routed the pro-Army PML (Quaid) backed by Musharraf, who by then had given up the office of COAS and was merely the President.

It is ironic but true. In order to survive in office, the PPP leadership has picked up the PML-Q’s traits to ingratiate with the Army. The consequence: the civilian rulers’ isn’t the final word on Afpak, India-Pak and Pak-US relations. The veto is with Kayani and his cabinet of corps commanders.

Pro-democracy elements in Pakistan are irreconcilable to the idea of India emphasizing the military’s pre-eminence in their affairs. But the Army’s pivotal position in their system and the power-structure cannot be underplayed or ignored, especially when the civilian leadership isn’t above being on the right side of the generals.

They’re prone to dancing to their tunes even if it means disrupting the peace tango with New Delhi. The case in point here is Shah Mahmood Qureshi’s less than diplomatic conduct in the recent talks with S M Krishna.

Even the US understands the Army’s relevance and plays accordingly. The delegation Qureshi led to Washington some weeks ago had Kayani as its guiding member.

From India’s standpoint, it’s necessary to understand the thinking of the Khakis —- especially with regard to action on David Hedley’s evidence implicating the ISI for 26/11. Mutual trust will be the casualty if Pakistan does not move to book and get punished the conspirators of the Mumbai attacks.

To sustain dialogue and have people in India backing it, Kayani raher than Zardari or Gilani has to play the impresario for peace. But will he?

Looks improbable. The Pak Army sees a realizable chance of establishing its writ in Afghanistan. And to prevent that, India has to keep harping on the Hedley evidence to show that Islamabad cannot be trusted to replace the US and NATO forces in the Hindukush.

    Pakistan should be ignored, treat it like any other country. If we are to spend “energy” on any country, let us spend it on countries with whomw e can develop positive bilateral relations – South korea, US, Russia, and even China.

    We have learned about Paksitani double crossing since 1947. So, why spend energy on it? People like Vinod may have a soft corner because of .obvious reasons like parents birthplace etc. But as KumKUm suggested, let us leave nostalgia behind; accept that it is a different (and violent) country, Build our security forces, have intelleigence gathering capability, and be willing to strike if we have to. Hands of friendshipa nd reconciliation have been extended so many times. Let us wait until the mafia country stabilizes, there i rule of law, democracy, and responsble civilian govt.

    I have seriously doubt that Kyani’s extension will ensure zardari to remain in president house till 2013. Zardai is unpopular in Pak and he has already done a lot of mistakes and people dont tust Zardai at all. Democracy is a good thing but what would be the use of that democracy when the corrupt politicans get elected to rule.

    As far as Kyani is concerned, he is a good general. He came from very poor background and is a son of junior officer who had a rank of Subedar in army. Kiyani has done successful operations in North West of Pak and Kiyani’s term had to be extended just like extension of Admiral Mike Muleen for war on terror.

    As far as Afganistan is concerned, Nato and US has no other option and they have to trust to Pak. US and especially Nato wants to leave Afganistan ASAP. If they dont agree with Pak, they will fail and they know that. There should be same kind of arrangement between Taliban who belongs to Pashtuns and Karzai’s govt. And Pak is the only one who can faciliate this.

    And finally for India, one has to understand no Govt in Pak can ignore Kashmir. It would be foolish to think, it is only Pak Military who talks on Kashmir. No Govt either military or civilian can ignore Kashmir in Pak.

    Thats a boatload of BS. Like other Pak generals Kayani is a rabid India and Hindu hater and will justify anything to hurt us (which probably means he is a good general for you) . Please dont relate it with some of your Masters generals – he has probably put a gun on Zardaris head to get that extension

    As far as afganistan is concerned Pakistan continues its evil designs on another neighboring country, holds its people to ransom, supports terrorists and anyone who will lay the country waste just so that they can reap the benefits like parasites. Is it something you people learn from your mothers milk. I am amazed how you talk about ’some kind of arrangement’ and being facilitators as if Pakistan is leading some diplomatic negotiations. Its more like being a extortionist. And again just a honest days work for you people and you will not know the difference

    What India has to understand is that we always have to fight barbarians on our western borders. Its better we learn to treat our enemies as enemies and avoid wasting any time talking with them since it will only be used by you guys to bide for time and strike whenever you get a chance. you dont give a **** about the kashmiris or the pashtuns or the shias or the ahmadiyas or the baluch or even the mohajirs.

    You talk about Kiyani..This is none of your business..You better take care of your Kashmiris who are on the streets this whole months and asking for Iddependence. Then there are 2 dozens of separatist movements going on in every corner of India..And Should I talk about Maoist and their famous Red Corridor and the reason why Moaist are fighting..Perhaps this is your widespread deep poverty which made them to fight.

    After killing thousands of Sikhs and Muslims, raped nuns, burnt Churches, burnt mosques, Babri mosuqe, golden Temple yoiu talk about minorities in Pak. Have you ever read Sachar Commission Report published in 2006.

    You are the worse shameless people who exists on the planet who killed countless numbers of sikhs, muslims, dalits and even raped thier women and then shamelesly talk about minorities of other country.

    The people of pakistan destroyed hundreds of temple to avenge Babri demolition. How can you justify that? Even today, your govt. is encroaching on Hindu land and temples. You are killing Hindu, xtians, Shia, Ahmediyas..and Balochis.
    You have decimated your minorities whereas minority population especially muslims has grown 5 times since independence. This speaks volumes about how we treat minorities and how you treat your minorities.

    PS: Everytime I read it I fall down laughing :)

    ————————————————————————————————————————————–

    The year 1971….

    When the war had just begun….

    AND ENDED !

    a) Imagine Gen Yahoo/yahya Khan who is drunk in december 71. You just have to picture the rotund, actor Ajit like general who believes that they have won the war and Gen Niazi is about sign a document of accession of New Delhi with Gen J S Arora !

    The scene takes place in the Martial Law Dictator’s house, where a drunk gen is talking to his aides.

    Drunk Gen Yahoo Khan : Dilli ki gaddi kab milegi mujhe….”I want to address India from Red Fort….”

    Gen Tatka Khan (Tikka khan ?( : ” Hum jeet gaye hai… ”

    Aide, (who is under instructions from American president Nixon to let the Gen know the truth,): Sahab bahadur…. Muslims of India and of East Pakistan have sided with India…. we have lost….”

    All in the room shiver as Gan Yahoo Khan growls like Gabbar.

    Gen Yahoo : “Nahi ham jeet gaye hain… ahem… ab saara India hamare neeche hai….”

    Foreign secretary(shivering) : 93000 troops have been captured… we have lost….”

    Gen Yahoo gulps and shouts: “Nahi.. nahi nahi…. ”

    At this point we should imagine a 71 piece Laxmikant Pyarelal opera breaking into dramatic music.

    And then visualise a drunk General running amok, breaking glasses and lights.

    He jumps up and down. throws away the bottles of Old Monk Rum (smuggled from India) and shouts : “tum ne sharab pee hai… hum jeet gaye hai… we are winners….”

    His pant garters snap in his fury. HIs aide helps him lift his trousers…

    Yahoo Khan is mad as hell and vibrating like mixie : “Grrr grrr…. Vrrroooooooom…”

    Gen Tikka (Tatt ka ) is recovering from the shock: ” Gen Yahoo, shab bahadur… gen yahya… it does not matter if we lose… we will write in our history books we have won… Pakistani public likes to be brainwashed…. H HA HA HAaaa >….”

    Today US papers are full of details leaked by Wiki Leaks, of Pak army and ISI direct complicity of terrorism against US troops in Afganistan and against India and Afganistan.

    Wiki leaks reports that Pak army runs a jobs program , under which Afghan Taleban is paid 10-30k dollars for every Indian worker killed in Afganistan.

    There is a storm brewing in US media against Pak duplicity of receiving money from US and then helping Haqini faction of Taleban against US troops.

    Yet to be seen how it impacts Kayani.

    As more leaks come out and public is better informed, India will find it hard to talk to Pak regime and bestow any legitimacy to it.

    Vinod,
    All this is not at all looking good. Actually, it looks terrible. Here is the thing. U.S. appears to be in the process of outsourcing its “war on terror” to Pakistani military. India appears un-comfortable with this arrangement – perhaps due to Pakistani Armed establishment’s growing clout. My instincts tell me – given the very very troublesome and immature masquerading of relationships between the ruling classes across the border (something that they have been successful so far in portraying as relationship between the two countries) – this is going to unfold rather nastily in our part of Asia. Times like these make even an atheist like me feel like praying against “Black Swan” events between the two countries.
    BTW, do we realize the irony ? Actually it might be the mutual knowledge about each other’s Nukes that may eventually hold us back from the threshold levels of militarist adventurism. Not advocating the Nukes, just pointing out the irony.
    And finally, what do we do with the Climate change ? Are the adventurists from both sides of border equipped and prepared to handle the real challenge ? When was the last we discussed water sharing rationally ?

    Good analysis – covered depth. Was expecting this piece to appear next. The surprise mid night extension caught the full head lines of the newspapers as if to say ‘daal meyn kuch kala hai’ (something fishy). PM made this clear that this is mutual consent of both him and the president but large masses have doubts as if this is upon free will and keeping in view the results of success of the general. More so serious doubts are there why at the eleventh hour. The question is – had that not been an extension what could have happened? But the argument of his success cannot be let go as general is regarded as one of the finest and had so far influenced his repute (may be military might also) on the political head and even in offices of Washington. Although, spokesperson denied this today making this as internal and private concern of the country.

    Surprisingly, as far as military head is in kahkis it is believed peace with india is fragile and next to impossible. Makes me wonder Musharaff’s role when he sat on presidential seat with complete command of two offices and witnessed good relations with India in the middle of his term. Both Musharaff and Manmohan were quite close to bringing a peaceful resolution to Kashmir issue. For India nothing new or no change with Kiyani’s extension.

    [Reply]

  • Rajiv

    Some things never change.

    Not long ago, Musharraf ( before him Ayub, Zia etc ) , was looked upon by some Pakistanis as there latest prophet or messiah !

    Well, we all know how each of those ended.

    Ofcourse, Pak military regimes are as corrupt and venal as the civil set-ups, if not even more.

    Only difference is that while civil set-ups are held accountable to some extent when the opposition comes to power, no such accountability can ever be done upon Pak military regimes, which have milked Pak resources , internally as well as external aid.

    Anyway, only thing thats certain is that Kayani too will end as a villian and a sordid character, thrown in the dustbin of Pak history, like Yayha Khan, Zia and Musharraf.

    “The General’s a Punjabi unlike Pervez Musharraf who was always conscious of his Mohajir roots…” The writer is silly ignorant. Musharraf is not a Punjabi. First of all, it does not really matter in Pak Army if the chief is from where. Musharraf had a free hand as COAS in doing all silly things in Pakistan that he did. The dsciplined Pak Army was simply obeying his orders. As soon as a new COAS came, things changed dispite the fact Musharraf was then President and actually upset with new COAS. Army stands in unity. There are many Punjabi mohajirs in Pakistan (especially in Punjab). Why is the writer then giving an impression that Musharraf was a Punjabi?

Where are the graves of 3 millions bengalis after all you are talking about 3 millions…Does it make any sense. 3 Millions is a figure which Bangalis give in order to justify their separation…Yes many bangalis get killed but 3 Millions is a very big lie.

    Actually the population of non-muslims was close to 30% in Sindh and Punjab and much lower in Pakhtunistan and Azad Balochistan. You can search for the figure. You may find it hard to find as you find hard to spot non-muslims in Pakistan.

    You killed 3 million Bengalis (most of them hindus) who were cremated..There are n number of mass graves discoved in Bangladesh everyday. Your soldiers raped closed to 200000 women most of them hindus. You didn’t even spare Bengali men serving your Army. If you want I can post testimony of those valiant Bengali officers for you.

    Sorry to intervene, Mr. Sharma. Yes, Mr. Charan Singh migt have been a popular jat leader, but surely lacked vision. In your opinion, if we go by his vision, do you think we are wasting time and money in launching missiles and projects like Chandrayan when our country has been compared with hungry and starved African countries in terms of MPI by researchers at Oxford? By Mani Shankar and Mr. Charan Singh’s logic we should be hardly doing so. So also by Mani shankar’s vision, we should be hardly spending any money on infra structure in the country and the money saved should have gone to some other developement projects .Moreover, let Mr. Mani Shankar sort out his political philosophy with his political bosses but he should not make the country a laughing stock in the world. For only to prove his egoistic and arrogant point , he is praying for the failure of CWG. With such people around us, we hardly need any foreign media to detract us from our goals. I only pity the congress party which must be feeling embarrassed by his public utterings vis-a-vis CWG games.

    In one report from March 2008, the ISI is alleged to have ordered Siraj Haqqani, a prominent militant based in northwestern Pakistan, to kill workers from archenemy India who are building roads in Afghanistan. In another from March 2007, the ISI is alleged to have given Jalaluddin Haqqani, Siraj’s father, 1,000 motorcycles to carry out suicide attacks in Afghanistan.

    Slowly Mr VS is coming around to what some of us have been saying for a long time.India’sresponse to Pakistan is not to be shaped by our pre-determined ideological positions but by the ground realities of the situation in Pakistan. It is time the Dreamers in India step back a little. The present circumstances in Pakistan do give any real indication that it is willing to look at any fundamental shift in its position vis -a vis India. The powers that be , which in other words means the Pakistani Army , is first anf formost interested in consolidating and securing its position in the power structure , in an unstable politiy, and which substantially rests on animosity with India.

    Much will depend post US exit from Afhn, e.g billions will stop flowing and haqqanis and others may not listen to kayani anymore. Much greater problem is within Pak, – unemployemnt, feudal system, poverty, education, weak instituions etc etc which Khaki can not handle. Kayani ( ex ISI- 2004- 07 wikileak fame) along with khakis is not going to let India and Pak come on the same page. Also Vinod is wrong to suggest that gillani consulted zardari, – he was given a piece of paper by Kayani to read it out in a less then 5 minute telecast. The danger is not over yet for Gillani. however a coup is imminent . I am surprised in a country how of all , the legal minster himself is sitting with a fake degree along with 80% fakes in parliament, clearly these MPs stand disquallified and a call for fresh elections will be the order of the day, Kayani having sensed this ordered for his extension. With a call for division of Pak on pashtun lines and an uprising by the people of pakistan. India better brace up for a a refugee flow from Pak – some time in future.

This political model has been suggested by Blackwill also and is the only viable option that lets US getaway with the Pak nulcear weapons of mass destruction, Hurriyat to shut up in Kashmir- India, free, peaceful Afghanistan and above all a much relaxed, managable and propsperous Pak with an option to join us anytime in future, — with full autonomy ofcourse.

    Jinnah had done Bar Et Law from Lincoln’s Inn in England at the age of 19. Now Bar et Law is not a degree but considered equivalent to Master’s degree. Zardari has refered that Jinnah didnt had a degree because he posses a Bar Et Law which is not a degree. But this is the lack of General information of Zardari that he didnt know the Bar Et Law is considered equivalent to Master degree.

    (For Jinnah’s Education)

    If you google Jinnah’s education then you will find of tons of material abt it and all of them mention that Jinnah was the younget barister of his time who was called to bar in england at the age of 19. He was also the youngest barister of South Asia who got degree of Bar Et Law at the age of 19 .

    @Vinod Sharma,

    In a democracy, Mani has a right to have his views and I have a right to have mine.

    He has oppossed the holding of the Commonwealth games, but more so because as a Sports Minister he did not have the capacity to organise it and had he continued as the Sports MInister, we would have become the laughing stock of the entire world.

    Now that MS Gill and Suresh Kalmadi are succeeding, along with the stupendous efforts of the Delhi government, let us try to make this an Indian success. Mani AIyar, like small change in the pocket (your expression) is going out of the way to belittle this effort. More out jealousy, than anything else.

    Sir, can you list out one good thing he did as a sports Minister? In fact he could not do anything good, at least, he should not, as a member of Parliament, whose salary, we the taxpayers pay, decry the efforts all sportspersons are making to make it memorable for India.

    A few days back, the FIFA world cup was held in South Africa, again a poor country. Has it not bought glory to the game and to the South Africans?

    Going back further, India had the vision to hold the 1982 Asiad, even though backward thinking politicians like Charan SIngh were opposed to it. Yet in the end it led to the creation of infrastrucure in Delhi and the creation of stadia.

    As a school boy in eighties, I would cycle down to these stadium to practice gymnastics, athletics and tennis. Yes, it inspired, a lot of youth to bring glory to the country.

    Facilities like the Airport and the Metro are permanent; So are the roads and the stadia.

    Mani Shankar is too small minded to understand this.

    Yes indeed, organisation of international events needs additional infrastructure. I am for it. But there are two views on spending Rs 35,000 crore on just one city. With that kind of money, we could have created a modern city closeby to ease urban pressure on Delhi. Also, are we getting our money’s worth with the unseembly haste with which certain projects are being shoddily done to meet deadlines?
    That said, now that we are the hosts, I wish we succeed.
    Pl don’t mind, but your description of Charan Singh betrays your ignorance of the kind of support he enjoyed—- from Haryana through UP right upto Bihar— of the Jats, Backwards and Muslims. After Indira, he was the biggest mass leader of his times. His rural bias made him upopular with metro-centric guys like you.

    We should not be surprised at the extension given to Pak army chief by the civilian government
    of Pakistan as it is not a free agent. The extension has confirmed the fact once again that the
    army in Pakistan forms part of the Troika that rules the country and that its Chief enjoys equal
    status with the President, Prime Minister of that country. As far as India is concerned, it is the army
    which sets the agenda for Pak relations with India. The latest revelations appearing in the Press
    confirm what is known to the Indians since long , the duplicity and complicity of Pak in fomenting
    trouble against India even in Afghanistan. It was ex-Pak President who had given solemn undere-
    taking to the Indian Prime Minister that Pakistan would not allow its soil to be used against anti-
    Indian terrorist activities. But that was for the world consumption which is now convinced of Pak
    army training and arming terrorists to the teeth and then to help them infiltrate into India and
    do the destructive work assigned to them. India needs to be on watch.

    @Dr Anand,

    As a doctor you have diagnosed it correctly! Psychiatirc treatment is the right word! If you know of some good psychiatrists, let us recommend Mani to them.

    Some days back, after the ndo-Pak talks fiasco, Mani AIyar was looking down on us Indians and implying that he would have handled the talks better; he made fun of KC Singh and Kanwal Sibal and then proudly added that he knew Shah Qureshi as a friend.

    It would be very dangerous for us Indians to get Mani Aiyar involved in the Indo-Pak sphere, where he has been a consistent failure. As India’s counsel general to Pakistan he could never sense and guess the game of ISI to promote terror in India. And would have probably kept muttering “Jolly Good… very good… fellow Stephanian Zia-ul-Haq, big moustache, Jolly good…” all the time.

    Don Quixote would have been proud of such a successor, who has such an exaggerated sense of self importance!

    Dear Vinod Sharma ji
    The extension granted to Gen. Kyani as COAS should be a non-issue for us under a normal situation. But his continuing to be on this position also affects us to a great extent. So your blog on tthis subject was very timely, especially when it comes so soon after the failed Indo-Pak talks in Islamabad. It has been widely reported in the media that Gen. Kyani was mainly responsible for the failed talks after the Pakistan leaders were reprimanded by him for doing any peace with India after Mr. Pilla’s famous statement.

    It is a fact that Gen. Kyani was heading ISI before he became COAS. Our country had always doubt and been complaining about the dubious role of ISI in creating trouble in India. Well, that was proved correct first from the statementy of David Headley about the collaboration of ISI with LeT for Mumbai carnage and then the subsequent leaks. Now the leaked stories from Wikilinks has further confirmed the double role of ISI for collaborating on one hand with the Afghan Talibans for targetting US and NATO soldiers and on the other hand for collaborating the allied forces for elimiating unhelpful Talibans.. So his being COAS and having the continuing influence in ISI makes him the centre stage figure as for as the terrorist problems in the subcontinent are concerned. It is diffcult to imagine how the Pakistan govt. would have survived if it had not granted extension of three years to him. He will now continue even after the constitutional terms of Mr. Zardari and Mr. Gilani. For our country, he will still be able to involve ISI for any future terrrists attack in the country.

    So granting him extension not only gives a semblence of continuity of war in Afghanistan vis-a-vis Taliban and NATO forces on one hand , but also for planning any future terrorist attacks in our country.

    Vinodji,

    I hope you appreciate that the whole “late-lateef ” thing happened in a large part due to Mani. Right till two years back, he opposed everyting and only once MS Gill tookover did things start happening smoothly.

    In case we had had a more efficient and committed sports Minister, right from the day we chose to hold the games, we would have been better organised. And better quality infrastructure would have been built. Somehow in our country, spoilers want to hog the headlines and want us to fail, saying that “we are poor… we are poor… we are poor so we should fail…”

    The amount spent has gone as salaries to workers, to engineers and to maufacturing industry. Some kickbacks may have happened but let that not detract from the engineering marvel which is happening in Delhi and which would inspire other cities to follow.

    As far as Charan SIngh goes, I have full right to disagree. He was a rural leader, which I respect, but largely restricted to western UP. For three years he kept fighting with Morarji Desai, just become the PM, letting governance suffer.

    And when he did, he did so with the help of Indira Gandhi, who first made him break the Janata party and then pulled the rug under his ambitions.

    He wanted to ban heavy industry. (Which he did indirectly by putting on heavy taxes on industrial units) and had a vision of having khadi based industries all over.

    He actively promoted caste– especially Jats and alienated southern India by trying to impose Hindi.

    The India shining of today– Infosys, Wipro, TCS, Indica, Maruti etc would have never happened with his vision.

    Is this all wrong?

    As an twelve year old I read all this in your newspaper…. :)

    Surprising you are using him to bolster Mani’s cause, since Charan Singh hated the Nehru legacy while Mani Aiyar wants to be identified with Nehru family in all ways…. :)

    By the way, Charan Singh’s call for boycott of Asian Games was backed by the likes of George Fernandes and other socialists.

    I am generally against cut and paste on a blogging site. However an article in today’s Huffington Post has caught my eye.

    That the whole world is now seriously thinking of balkanizing Pakistan for its own good.

    With much hesitation I posting this article– as it is long in size– But this is an important one.
    ————————————————————
    Breaking Pakistan to Fix It

    The argument for Balkanizing Pakistan or, more specifically, fragmenting the Islamic Republic so it’s easier to police and economically develop, has been on the table since Pakistan’s birth in 1947 when the country was spit out of a British laboratory. And lately, the concept is looking more appealing by the day, because as a result of flawed boundaries combined with the nexus between military rule and Islamic extremism, Pakistan now finds itself on a rapid descent toward certain collapse and the country’s leaders stubbornly refuse to do the things required to change course. But before allowing Pakistan to commit state suicide, self-disintegrate and further destabilize the region, the international community can beat them to the punch and deconstruct the country less violently.

    To quell any doubts about Pakistan’s seemingly uncontrollable spiral into darkness, just recently, Foreign Policy Magazine ranked Pakistan as the tenth most failed state on earth and it would seem its leaders are hell bent on securing the number one slot – an honor it can add to their already dubious distinction as the world’s largest incubator of jihadist extremism. Afghanistan will never see peace or prosperity with a neighbor like Pakistan and the U.S. will always be threatened by terrorist plots spawned in Pakistan’s lawless regions – like the most recent Times Square bombing.

    The most popular approach to fragmentation is to break off and allow Afghanistan to absorb Pakistan’s North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), which would unite the Pashtun tribes. In addition, the provinces of Balochistan and Sindh would become independent sovereign states, leaving Punjab as a standalone entity.

    Balkanization is based on the premise that the weak central government in Islamabad is incapable of governing Pakistan’s frontiers, which have become the number one source of regional instability. The governing Punjabi elite have neglected the other three major ethnic groups – the Sindhis, Pashtuns, and Baluchis, primarily because a majority of Pakistan’s budget is spent on the military rather than economic development, schooling or infrastructure. Only 2% of Pakistan’s GDP, for example, is spent on education despite the fact Pakistan’s literacy rate stands at 57%.

    Minority groups have also been underrepresented in institutions such as Pakistan’s military – which is the country’s most powerful entity. Punjabis who represent 40% of the population constitute 90% of the armed forces. Pakistan’s own history provides a prime case study of what happens when an ethnic group can no longer tolerate political and economic disregard. After a quarter century of strife the Bengalis rebelled, seceded and founded Bangladesh in 1971.

    If the Balkanization solution is ever put in motion, accusations will surely fly that it’s yet another example of U.S. imperialism and neoconservatism run amok. However, this would be a diplomatic and multilateral effort, plus, it is more about reversing the iniquities of British colonialism than it is building some new world order.

    Inherent Instability
    Pakistan’s problems began when the British drew its boundaries haphazardly, which was primarily a product of incompetence and haste than maniacal design. According to an article in the New York Times last year, British colonial officer, Sir Cyril Radcliffe was given six weeks to carve a Muslim-majority state from British India although he had never even been there before. Radcliffe’s private secretary was quoted as saying that Sir Cyril “was a bit flummoxed by the whole thing. It was a rather impossible assignment, really. To partition that subcontinent in six weeks was absurd.” It would be a comical anecdote except for the fact that hundreds of thousands of people died in the ethnic cleansing that followed as a direct result of British carelessness.

    Pakistan’s border with Afghanistan – the poorly-marked Durand Line – had been drawn in 1893, also by the British, but it was never meant to be a long-term legally-binding boundary. The faux demarcation split the Pashtuns in half. By reinstating the original natural boundaries, Pakistan’s western provinces would be returned to Afghanistan and the Pashtun tribes would be reunited. Such a move would also remove a strategic advantage for the Afghan Taliban, who can easily blend in amongst fellow Pashtuns on the Pakistani side of the border today.

    But by the way sports is not elitist. This is the ground where you rub shoulders, irrespective of color, caste or financial background; where friendships are founded and where we see a Dhoni be the closest friend of Irfan Pathan and yet keep him out of the team on basis of form.

    Where even a Aryan suprmecy promoting Hitler had to clap for a black athlete winning the 100 mtr gold.

    Wish our so called political masters who oppose sports as a frivolous activity can see beyond their own hackneyed visions. And see it as a productive social and financial activity.

    To the Idiotic question

    “What has stopped India from doing that”

    The answer is nothing !!

    India has not yet divided Kashmir because it has so far not wanted to. The matter is getting debated and when the people of India, through there democratically elected government, decide that Kashmir should be divided , it will be divided. Ther is no law, no treaty , no power that can stop it if India so wanted.
    Got it !

    As an example, Just as Pakistan divided Pok and created Baltistan when it so wanted.

    Regarding your other idiotic statement about Kashmiris, Just as Bengal, Punjab, Bihar etc belongs to all of India similarly Kashmir belongs to all of India and all of India belongs to Kashmiris of every religion.
    What certain section of Kashmiris think pales in significance to what all of India thinks.
    Even an idiot like you, should be able to understand that . India is great that’s exactly the reason why it will never accept the demands of a religiously motivated, criminally instigated section of a populace of any state !!!

    Now the Friendly advise part :

    Pakistan and Pakistanis like you , have been shouting Kashmir, Kashmir for last 60 years, frothing in there mouth and making an ugly spectacle of themselves .

    What do you have to show for it ?

    1/2 of Pakistan lost .
    Today Pak interior minister said the situation in Baluchistan is getting like in East Pakistan
    I am not even talking about Waziristans etc yet !!

    Mind your own business.

    Look at India.

    Its bigger than it was in 1947-48.
    We Got most of Jammu and Kashmir.
    We got Sikkim.
    We got Siachen and Kargil too !

    Now go back to begging , shouting Kashmir, Kashmir and counting India’s poor.

    Let me make one thing clear. I am not doing this for any personal glory or publicity, but doing this so that we can find some solution in Jammu, Kashmir and ladakh. in fact as I am seeing it the second round of mails which have followed my initial first to my contacts don’t have my name in it. Good.

    Basically the whole effort is to make our country stronger. I have taken in inputs from you guys and framed this mail

    HOWEVER THE BOTTOMLINE IS TO PURSUE WHAT IS DO- ABLE

    So I will try to answer you point by point.

    1) We can at best try to get politicians involved in this in a positive way. The so called right wing will support it. The no – ideologues will go for it as long as their vote base remains intact. The left will initially oppose it even though they would know this is right.

    Pursuing politicians and prosecuting them can of course be done on some other forum. For some action to happen we have to take them along. In fact convince them, that this is what India wants.

    2) We can prod baluchistan to prop up thier plebiscite demand. However this has to be done in a secret manner through RAW and our Baluchi friends. Pakistan is going to become weaker and weaker and the west is now getting ready to dismantle it. We should not link Kashmir to Baluchistan as Baluchis want freedom from the oppression they face from Punjabis while in Kashmir we want tri-furcation.

    We can use the baluch example to show that atrocities committed out there are huge, while in kashmir it is the same pakistan which is committing atrocities.

    3) Let us not talk about carpet bombing kashmir. That is what Pakistan does in Baluchistan. Once tri- furcation happens, the separatists will give up the demands for freedom as they would realise that a 2500 sq km Kashmir cannot exist as a separate country,

    The army would find it easy to control 2500 sq Km. We would win the trust of the Kashmiris, while the terrorists can be sent rolling down the mountains.

    Rajeev, we can keep debating and adding more dimensions to all this,.

    But les start the ball rolling. Compose your own mail if you want. But make it comoassionate and reasonable.

    WE HAVE TO ACHIEVE OUR TARGET !! :)

    Paritosh Reply:

    i would like to make an add on to the trifurcation issue.
    suppose even if the trifurcation succeeds , we would need to maintain a heavy presence of army and military spies in the region to keep a check on the terror supporters , instigators , propaganda men and possibly those people who work as spies for Pakistan army and terror outfits.

    Rajeev Reply:

    Vijay,
    We should use balochis to our advantage. Whether they get freedom or not should not be our goal. They have to to that on their own, we can just provide ‘MORAL’ ;) support.

    I suggest we start a new blog solely concentrating on solving Kashmir problem in India’s favor. Using this platform (HT blog) is not ethical in my view.

    Secondly I suggest we start a blog that would rate Media Shops (Dukaan) on neutrality meter. This can be done by listing news items from each dukaan and categorising each item as pro-govt, semi-pro-govt, neutral, semi-pro-opposition and pro-opposition. Take a count of all the categories and create a pie-chart. This can be done on weekly basis. This will show where our media stands. It is important that we keeps the media in check and make sure they are presenting facts and not spin on facts (as is the case currently).

    Same can be done for Individual senior journalist. This way we can differentiate between true journalists and propaganda journalists.

    You are the one who talks nonsense and most of the times I felt pity on you.

    “India has not yet divided Kashmir because it has so far not wanted to.”

    Wrong…Absolutely wrong…India didn’t do this because India doesn’t have the will and courage to do this. All Kashmiris will be on streets the day you try to do this. Had India had the courage, India would have done this a long time ago. And this is why you have not done this so far.

    “As an example, Just as Pakistan divided Pok and created Baltistan when it so wanted.”

    Did Pak make Azad Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan a part of Pak officially? No. Pak didn’t make Pak Kashmir a part of Pakistan officially. Pak controls these land but these are two separate entities outside Pak according to Pak constitution. Then how could you relate your Indian held Kashmir with Pak Kashmir.

    And Second, people of Pak Kashmir have no problem with Pak unlike Kashmiris in Indian held Kashmiris who don’t want to live with India from last 63 years and many of your countrymen acknowledge this damn reality. So don’t try to make fun of you. I have already enough of you.

    “Just as Bengal, Punjab, Bihar etc belongs to all of India similarly Kashmir belongs to all of India and all of India belongs to Kashmiris of every religion.”

    What a moron are you…Has Nehro went UN in 1949 and gave a proposal of plebescite in Bengal, Punjab and Bihar? Has a big part of a Punjab, Bihar or Bengal is under Pak custody.? Has the majority of Punjab, Bengal or Bihar is muslims? Is there a pending UN resolutions on Punjab, Bihar or Bengal? Are there people of Behar, Punjab or Bengal come on street and ask for Independence. Is there independence movement going on in Punjab, Bihar or Bengal.?

    You people know very well that Kashmiris don’t want to love with India and this is the why India didn’t held a plebescite because you know what would be the result of that plebescite. Put this into your tiny head.

    “1/2 of Pakistan lost “

    This shows how low IQ you have. Is any part of India separated with geography of more than 1000 km from it.? No. Bangladesh was 1000 miles away from Pak and Pak couldn’t provide logistic support to Bangladesh. That’s all about it. Why you dint take Pak Kashmir from Pak. What a moron are you…You couldn’t take your own territory (Pak Kashmir as you claim) from Pak and talk about Bangladesh. And one more thing Banladesh was 1/7 of Pak in area.

    “India is bigger than it was in 1947-48.”

    One more lie from you. Then what about the loss of Aksi Chin in 1962. Does Aksi Chin makes India bigger or smaller.

    You didnt answer my single question. And This is what I expect from you.

    I explained ealier very well on Bangladesh. So not going to repeat any thing new on it.

    Here is the total distribution of KAshmir.

    Pak Kashmir = 32,000 (or 33,0000 accodin to some other sources) sq miles approx
    Indian Kashmir = 38,000 sql miles approx (including Siachin)
    Chines Kashmir = 15,000 sq miles

    YEs. You have captured Siachin in 1984 which was an empty land. BTW you didnt capture the entire Siachin but very big part of it. So Congragulation, you have done a very great thing of capturing an empty land. Very great thing you have done.

    Kargil..Kargil was not a war. It was a battle found in a limited area of Indian held KAshmir where total numbers of Indian troops who took part actively in KArgil were more than 60,000 supported by massive use of IAF and PAk troops were not more than 2000 without use of PAF. At the end, Pak pulled back all its troops under the influence of US.

    Litsen Chutiyey…Pak has the courage and guts to take on a country which is 7 times bigger than its population in KAshmir. Succeeded or not….this is another story….Atleast Pak has tried something but what abt you…You have taken Goa, Sikhim which were very easy for you and Siachin by force beacause it was an emoty land. But have you ever tried to taake Muzafaradbad, or Gilgit or Sakrdu…Look Pak doesnt cliams Indian KAshmir as its own territory but you claim Pak as your own territory and let me tell you territory has been under PAk control from the very first day of your independence.

    There is not a issue of a Balochistan. Balochistan is not a problem for Pak but you dont have anything to give in order to compare your KAshmir. I understand that…

    @Vijay,

    Some things have to be done decisively.

    Kashmir tri-furcation , to administratively seperate vast and peaceful areas of Jammu and Kashmir from the small troubled area, is for efficient administration and political purpose.

    BJP or Congress, should informally discuss this idea and then quickly implement it.
    India is a lawful and constitutional state ( unlike the criminal entity called Pak ) , so internal legal issues are involved.

    If Congress is opposed to tri-furcation, BJP has an excellent issue to fight the next elections.

    Remember, Vaypayee government did not hold a public debate regarding if we should go nuclear.
    They did so in the 1st month of coming to power.

    India has been waving carrots at separatists for past 60 years, its now time to employ some sticks.

    The fact we are discussing this in the blow here and elsewhere , will be a step that contributes to greater awareness of the issue.

    I don’t know how you feel about this. But Tri-furcation is an internal Indian matter. You guys have already absorbed baltistan and changed the demographic pattern of Muzzafarbad. Wish a kind and gentle Pakistan emerges someday. But like Shakespeares jokers, the stupid Pakistani leadership feels that soon Afghanistan will become part of Pakistan, while in reality the world is getting ready to dismantle Pak. maybe someday we will share a beer.

    thank you!, i dont drink and i have my own reasons for it.

    I doubt if there is such a smooth trichotomy of the state. Two factors worth mentioning i) pending UN resoultions ii) the anger that would boil down in the streets. Causing more blood shed.

    Leaving UN resolutions in trash can. What are the contingency plans for stopping the anger? So the moment you start the proceedings whats coming is even bigger. Mind you this might spark riots in rest of India creating more afzal guru.

    On POK changed demographies, i believe more in first hand knowledge, experience and ground realities as witnessed by me and i dont need to yell out loud to prove it.

    Rajiv Reply:

    @Usman,
    UN Resolutions on Kashmir do not mean anything to India.

    In fact, if they meant a thing
    1. Pak would have vacated PoK
    2 Pak would have captured and prosecuted all the terrorists identified and declared by UN
    3 UN proclaimed terrorist organizations like LeT, JeM would not be operating freely from Pak

    Most people, wilfully or ignorance, do not understand that even the UN resolution of 1949-50 on Kashmir , were under a NON-ENFORCEBLE UN charter.

    India has already rubbished them and declared them over taken by events of history , which include 1. Break up of Pakistan 2. Degeneration of Pakistan into a state only for Muslims. Many countries and UN security generals have publicly gone on record to say that those resolutions have been overtaken by events since then.
    So hardly any major country , any more, even talks about it.

    Anyway, that shouldn’t stop Pak from shouting UN, Plesbicite etc and mean nothing to India.
    But then we are dealing with an irrational adversary who doesn;t even know when iyt has lost !

    In India, its a matter of Law, constitution and internal politics. India doesn’t care about the Jihadi criminal element in Kashmir. However, India does care about the pro-India, non-Jihadi Kashmiri opinion as represented by Farooq Abdullah’s ruling national conference , Congress and other small regional but Non-Jihadi Kashmiri parties.
    India has to abide by the constituion and laws that relate to changes in Kashmir.

    India has to pass a resolution in the democratically elected J&K assembly before the state can be trifurcated. That is the people of Jammu and Kashmir have to agree to it.

    The representatives from Jammu, Leh, Ladhakh would do so. That would be about 40% of the votes in the state assembly.

    India will need support of some mainstream Kashmiri political parties too.
    Its all do-able, legally , if India so decides.

    Its those internal dynamics of Indian politics that will determine if India tri-furcates Kashmir or not.

    Usman Chaudhry Reply:

    @ Rajiv

    Thanks for the response. Please read this one liner again: “Leaving UN resolutions in trash can”. I’m aware of your no regard for UN resolution for Kashmir that is what i said.

    However, whats worth discussing is regarding curbing the uprising. Would the lulls of the internal political dynamics contain the anger? Nothing concrete can be said. So far there has been brute use of force and im not aware of any bullet that can cool the anger. If trifruncation is your internal matter then i have nothing more to say. Events like break up of Pak and degeneration add nothing to debate on UN resolutions and kashmiris can take care of themselves.

    (Dr.) B.N.Anand Reply:

    Hello Vijay ji
    Sorry, I could not respond immediately.

    As I had mentioned earlier, it is a great idea theoretically to trifurcate the Jand K state but I have my doubts whether it is going to be practical.

    Besides the legal and political aspect of the idea, even debating this idea in any meda platform may create wide turmoil in the valley . The main resistance would come from valley. Until, our country can use force as that was used in Chechnya by Russians, I feel the people of the valley will ever allow it to happen. Since our country is cast in a mould where politicians care more for their survivial rather than of the country. Sohrabbudin case is a point where a gangster is getting so much day in and day out media and political attention simply to spite the Gujarat govt. Whatever is happening in the valley these days is quite embarrassing to us simply because PDP and other political outfits are ambitious to come to power. I fear the same trouble will be witnessed when the trifurcation process is ever initiated as an idea either by the media or politicians . I still recall the trouble in the valley when some land was going to be allocated to the Shri Amarnath shrine board for the benefit of pilgrims.

    So I believe that for this trifurcation idea to further germinate, the problem of valley will have to be sorted out first with the broad agreement of the local politicians. Moreover, I do not visualise a strong leader, as strong as Indira Gandhi, to take forward this idea as a solution to the Kashmir problem.In the end, it will be the political initiative that would make this proposal as a real one in terms of sorting out Kashmir problem.

    But in the meantime, I am for it and would support whole heartedly any campaign to further this idea of dividing the Jand K state in three parts. The public opinion in favour of this idea must be built and let the political parties realise it to be tempting vote catching proposal. One needs greater support from the people and politcal parties to take forward this idea.

    BNA

    (Dr.) B.N.Anand Reply:

    Hello Vijay ji
    Let me add something more to your thoughtful and an ideal proposal for trifurcation of Jand K but difficult to implement proposal. Look , what is happening to the agitation for the the bifurcation of Andhra into Telengana and Andhra Pradesh. Even when the Home Minister only had annouced the acceptance of bifurcation of Andhra, the self-immolation and trouble for the claim of Hyderabad put halt to the whole process. If the demand for Telengana is being opposed by the politicians and people of AP and it could ot be done in the last more than three decades, I doubt the trifurtcation of Jand K will happen so soon even after majority of the people happen to agree with it.
    It is not being a pessimistic about the idea, but we can not wish away the facts. But there is no harm in convassing for this idea and bulding support for it to become a feasible proposal at some time in the future.

    I have posted the mailer on trifurcating J&K on Swapan Dasgupta’ site, Vir Sanghvi’s site and on Tarun Vijay’s blog in Times of India. The response in TOI has been great.

    I am posting one mailer here. Maybe you guys can take the matter and pot it to your contacts. You can change it the way you want. But the basic idea is that the ball should start rolling. I have deliberately kept this short, as we will have to keep posting new mails every week. And keep adding matter as we get more inputs.

    The original mail is in color. It is not possible to post that in color and with pictures out here. If you can give me your emails accounts I can mail it you. However The subject matter goes as under…

    ————– TRI-FURCATING JAMMU and KASHMIR- a solution to India’s problems ———–

    So many formulae have been tried in the J&K and yet nothing seems to work as finally the separatists and the Pakistanis start creating problems and violence.

    Let us now, as Indians, seriously take up the proposal for tri-furcating J&K. This makes sense seeing the history and the violence which has almost killed 50,000 people.

    This will strengthen the secularism of India. If we can have seperate states of Ladakh and Jammu, and Kashmir is reduced to 2500 sq km, things will be easily managable. The Kashmir problem which looks sizeable on the world map would immediately be reduced to the size it actually is. To a narrow strip of land, 30 km by 70 km in size.

    We could then use our resources to win over the hearts and minds of the people in this strip of land. As well as create a good infrastructure for tourism and industry.

    The salient features.

    a) Kashmir should be divided in such a manner that the river flow to the rest of India is unhampered.

    b)Terrorist violence basically happens in 2500 sq km. Once J&K is trifurcated, it would be easy for the army and the civil administration to control 2500sq km

    c)A plebiscite will never happen as we are too strong to let the world force us. However in case of a hypothetical situation that it does, then India has the right of taking the vote of Jammu, Ladakh and Kashmir.

    d) Pakistan has already integrated Baltistan as a seperate state, so we have to see what others are doing. In fact they have changed the demographic pattern of Muzzafarabad and occupied Kashmir so that Punjabis are in a majority.

    e) Once kashmir is reduced to 2500 sq km, it will make the separatists realise that their dream of a small landlocked independent country is futile.

    f) We can revoke section 370 for Jammu and Ladakh immediately after trifurcation so that patriotic Indians from all over the country can buy land and settle there.

    g)Ladakh has Lakes, mountains, and calmness as well as Buddhist tourist spots. A huge potential exists. While Jammu attracts lakhs for the Vaishno Devi Yatra.
    Once they shine, Kashmiris will be inpired to give up the gun and join the mainstream

    h) People of Jammu and Ladakh have time and again asked for separate states or UT status. let us give it to them.

    i) THere is a huge section of people in Kashmir, both Pandits and Muslims who always favoured India over Pakistan or freedom. They would always remain with us. Infact they would work with double zeal to get their brothers who have been mislead, back into the mainstream.

    At the end of the day all people from the J&K region would be proud to be Indian. Currently we are holding the people of Jammu and of Leh-Ladakh hostage to the political machinations of a few outsiders.

    Why should we not, as Indians, push our government to start working on this tri-furcation?

    It is your duty as a proud Indian to tell your friend, your email contact, your local politician that he has to work for this.

    MAIL THIS TO ALL YOUR CONTACTS AS A STARTER !

    This is definitely a good Idea but do we have a political class in country including so called nationalistic BJP who can execute this plan..NO

    You are making castles in air. Most of the Indian political class is impotent backed by equally impotent and prejudiced Indian media.

    It is important to first neutralise the internal opposition by democratic means so that they don’t throw spanner when trifurcation is executed.

    frankly to speak on this issue , i feel that the even though trifurcation is a necessary step that we must make , its not that easy.
    moreover what i feel is that we must rule Kashmir with an iron fist , jailing all the separatist leaders and banning their political parties.

    as far as Porkistan , no relevance in talks at all. built up of military power and reconquering Kashmir seems much better. in order to make decisions like trifurcation and assertion of claim over Kashmir , it needs far sightedness and SPINE. we Indians lack that. let us accept.

    Vijay,
    I’d like to add few ideas to your Kashmir trifurcation plan-
    1. Make list of all politicians, so-called social activist, anti-india media persons and charge them for ‘Treason’ mixed with other allegation such as not respecting India’s integrity. This will keep these morons busy for years.
    2. Prod Balochis for plebicite to kill plebicite demand in J&K. Force pakistan to use brutal power (as they did against Nawab Bugti few years back) and then take that as precedent and carpet bomb Kashmir Valley.
    3. Create insurgency situation in Sindh future Sindhudesh to keep pakistanis occupied.
    4. After we have taken care on internal and external SOBs, we can execute this trifurcation plan.

    Assumption: Our govt. grows a backbone to do all this.

    Now my point is not to shame the shameless. The point is India took good care of the surrenderees, pardoned 200 officers sought by Bangladesh for war crimes and even gave back 12,000 sq km of Pak territory captured in the West in west Pakistan.

    India did all that as a large hearted, magnanimous party hoping it would change the character of the Pak army and state towards India.

    It is the military discipline that stops them from raping local women whereas muslim invaders had no such restrictions so they fathered your ancestors by raping local women.

    You should be ashamed that you are product of rape and loot but you have become a slave of arabic imperialism.

    Sal Reply:

    Rajeev

    I dont belive that muslims come without their wives and you cannot give example of americans today in afganistan. Americans have come in afganistan for a very short period of time and ultimately they will leave Afganistan while muslims rulers/invaders/armies had come here in Afganistan/India permanently and settled here for the rest of their lives. Second, you cannot court an an example of today to centuries ago…

    Third, not only muslims rulers/invaders/armies had come india but muslims traders comes here too in India from different parts of the world and then they settled in India which is todays Pakistan. Fourth, many ordinary muslims has come to India for better opportunities too and they lived in India for ever. All this has been done with passage of time.

    The problem is you have a very narrow view of a picture due to your hatred towards muslims. Thats all about it.

    Rajeev Reply:

    Sal,
    Do you mean to say you all have been fathered by traders? All invaders come for short time, then they occupy land and reproduce people like you.

    The muslims came to India for better opportunity..what a joke!!! They came here to look for weaklings like your ancestors who will help them conquer India.

    You are a joke…

    Sal Reply:

    @Rajeev

    No..I dont mean that all of the muslims has been fathered by muslims traders…but many of them.

    Nope…All Invaders has come in India for permanent and settled here in such a way that their children even lived here for centuries like Delhi sultans (Altamash, Razia Sultana etc), Slave dynasty, Loddhi dynasty, Sori dynasty and finally Moguls.

    Some ofcourse come here in India, invade it and then left like Mahmood ghaznavi and later Ahmed shah abdali in 1761 (If I am not wrong about year).

    Yes many muslims come here in India for better opportunites…Once India was called “Sonay ki Chidya”. Similary, many msulims sufi sainst come in India and their tombs exists here today in Indo Pak.. So people of Pak is mix of all those people.

    Furthermore, if you look at the geography of Pak, you will find Pak at the crossroad of Central Asia, South Asia and West Asia. So many people used to come here even before arrival of Islam.

    Rajeev Reply:

    Sal,
    You do agree that most of the pakistanis were fathered by invaders…that means pakistanis are product of rape. Many invaders came here and wanted to settle here because heaven described in Quran matched Hindustan.

    Secondly they demolished thousands of temple and built mosque..If they can plunder a temple and convert that to mosque, don’t you think they must have plundered local women and fathered people like you.

    By the way Qutub Minar is prime example of how invaders destroyed local structure.

    There is no shame in accepting that you were forced into Islam and as you are stuck with it, you have no option but to defend all rapes done on your women in the name of Islam.

    You are calling India ‘Sone ki Chidiya’ but I have seen pakistanis referring to passage from Babarnama that says ‘India has nothing to offer..no good fruit, no gardden..nothing’.

    Your food is Indian (see how distant it is from Arabic and your other cousins), your language is Urdu (derived from Hindi), you dress like us, you pray at mazaars..and you call yourselves decendents of Turks, Arabs etc.

    You have only religion common with barbarians from mideast otherwise you are 99% HINDU. You may not accept this fact out of compulsion but everyone in west mistakes you guys for Indians..and of late you guys introduce yourselves as Indians.

    Arabs call you guys hindus…What else do you need to prove that you are not part of muslim mainstream (remember Obama didn’t even mention south asian muslims). You are dalits of muslim world..basically unwanted part of muslim ummah. YOU ARE HINDU.

    Sal Reply:

    @Rajeev

    Wrong…I dont agree with that that most (or all) people of Pak are fathered by Muslim Invaders. Similary I dont agree with Muslim Invaders had raped women here in this part of a world and I have very strong points which I described earlier.

    I have told you many muslims from different walks of life like Muslim (rulers/traders/Saints/Ordinary) has come to present day Pak and thats true. You dont talk about muslim Traders, Saints, ordinary muslims because that doesnt suit you. As far as invaders are concerned, I told you earlier most of them came with their wives and then they settled here permanently. If you need example I can give it to you of muslim rulers and their wives.

    Get cool down. Had not muslims ruled India then Christians would have ruled India for centuries. Sorry to say, but you people deserved to be ruled. I know just one country like India who was so big in area and population and then has been ruled by outsiders for more than 1200 years. No country even Spain, america has not been ruled for such a long period of time and BTW they were a small country either in area and/or population. So perhaps, weakness was in your side, If you try to find

    I will not answer your abuses.

    Rajeev Reply:

    Sal,
    So you agree most of the muslims were locals (hindus/buddhists) who were forcibly converted to Islam.
    The muslims in South Asia can be divided into following categories-
    1. Ashrafs: Decemndents of invaders (product of rape) 5% like you.
    2. High caste hindu converts (forced converts or greedy and cowards like ancestors of Iqbal): 5%
    3. Arjals (low caste hindus who were converted forcibly converted by force and Jaziya): 90%

    You can be proud of Islamic rule but you should know that it was built on death an destruction. Either your ancestors were part of destruction team or people who were destroyed.
    If you are proud of this, you should be ashamed of yourself.

    I don’t want to debate with person who laughs at rape of his mother and sister..you are a lowlife arab slave and nothing else.

    Rajeev Reply:

    Sal,
    When you say ‘You deserve to be ruled by others’..This ‘YOU’ includes you too…

    I guess all muslims are being ruled by US/NATO. What do you say about that? The fortress of Islam is ruled by US and China..You muslims are laughing stock of world..This statement of yours confirmed that pakistanis have been taught very SPECIAL history..

    Sal Reply:

    @Rajeev

    “So you agree most of the muslims were locals (hindus/buddhists) who were forcibly converted to Islam.”

    I am not saying that…..I am wasting my time by answering you. You dont want to unserdstand what I am saying.. Pak is a mix of people (muslims) who came from outside to India and who were the original people of this land like hindus etc…

    Pashtuns and Baloch were never Hindus. They are the descendants of Jews..So take them out of Pak population. Pak Punjab is mix of central asian, west asian and south Asian and those people who originally belong to this land. Only sindhis could be hindus which are roughly 15% of Pak now. How they are converted to muslims..If you say by force…then I dont agree with you…

    I am not interested in those % which you have given. I dont buy them.

    “This ‘YOU’ includes you too…”

    No…I am not included…

    One more thing to say…Muslims are still ruling a big part of India in the name of Pak and Bangladesh..(or perhaps Afganistan too)..Good for a person who has so much hate in his heart like you..

    Vijay,
    We should use balochis to our advantage. Whether they get freedom or not should not be our goal. They have to to that on their own, we can just provide ‘MORAL’ support.

    I suggest we start a new blog solely concentrating on solving Kashmir problem in India’s favor. Using this platform (HT blog) is not ethical in my view.

    Secondly I suggest we start a blog that would rate Media Shops (Dukaan) on neutrality meter. This can be done by listing news items from each dukaan and categorising each item as pro-govt, semi-pro-govt, neutral, semi-pro-opposition and pro-opposition. Take a count of all the categories and create a pie-chart. This can be done on weekly basis. This will show where our media stands. It is important that we keeps the media in check and make sure they are presenting facts and not spin on facts (as is the case currently).

    Same can be done for Individual senior journalist. This way we can differentiate between true journalists and propaganda journalists.

    [Reply]

    Vijay Kumar Reply:

    Dear Rajiv,

    I had seen your earlier postings and needed time to reply.

    a) Of course we need to give the oppressed and tortured people in Baluchistan “MORAL” support. Till now India has been lax and no existent on this front.

    In fact my favourite character Mani Aiyar, writing in his book on his experieces as Indian counsel general in Islamabad says proudly that “he had been approached by Bizenjo many a time for financial and “moral” support in Baluchistan, but always turned him away since he believed in a strong and stable Pakistan.’

    This is the same Aiyar who as counsel General, could not detect the training of terrorists for covert action in Kashmir and Punjab by Pakistan. He probably kept chuckling “the gen is a good old chap… fellow Stephanian, thick moustache, jolly good, bloody good….”

    And today Mani still talks of non stop talks inspite of terror attacks and tries to blame imperialistic designs of the west for terror in India.

    Our approach till now in Baluchistan has been weak. In fact our foreign policy since 1980 was weak, till Narasimha Rao changed things and finally Jaswant Singh gave it muscle by re-writing history.

    In between, weak heart, I K Gujral sold the country for a kebab platter.

    We need to do things now– but chup-chaap, effectively.

    2) Regarding setting up a new blog, we can do it. Let the time come, we can. It would require money as well as exposure to web sites. However till that happens, let us do what we can, right now!

    And that is simply flood the idea of Tri-furcation of Jammu and kashmir on various websites of newspapers as well as politicians. Don’t let me dissuade you on this. I have two web sites running, but i know how difficult it is to attract traffic on them, even on a topic as relevent as environment and pollution, which is my line.

    3) Regarding doing all this on Vinod Sharma’s site. Let’s face it. We are all here, becasue of our concern for our country as well as our “love :) ” for Pakistan ! And that is what the blog is about.

    I know I can share a beer, a kabab platter or whatever with Vinod Sharma, if and whenever I meet him, even though I am probably 20 yrs younger. I love to pull his leg. I feel his heart is in the right place, even though when it comes to friendship with Pakistan he loses his mind :) somewhere.

    My Grandparents family had run from Sialkot, during partition and come to India. Vinod Sharma’s father was probably was staying somewhere around that area. But probably had better experiences than what my side of the family had.

    4) Rajeev, the basic issue is critical mass. WE really have to at this stage get our viewpoint on tri-furcation to as many powerful people as possible. I have been on the news papers once a while and i know it gets instant recognitiion. SO if we really flood the emails of the mediapeople, we would get the topic into conversation. That by itself is a huge-huge thing.

    As Rajiv earlier pointed out, it could well be an election issue for the BJP, if the COngress stays mum on it. And that is why I am again imploring, start your mailers today.

    :) :) :) WE will succeed for sure……

    Dear everyone,

    Let us study this man Sal’s brain but not make this blog, Sal-centric.

    We need Sal, because he gives us a window into the Pakistani mind, which has been brainwashed by fake histroy and silly and evil heroes like Field Marshal Yahya, Double Field Marshal Ayub, And triple field Marshal of the Universe, Zia the cobra.

    Since we have an adversary as vile, as brainwashed and a jehadi killer which exterminates all non Muslims and even Muslims who are not fanatic or Sunni, we need a thorough study of the roguish pakistani mind.

    So Sal gives us that opportunity.

    However we also have to strenghten our country, our democracy and secularism as well as our economy, so too much of Sal diverts our attention. So let us use him as a guinea pig.

    But more importantly, let’s keep pursuing our higher ideals.

    —————————————————————————–
    PEW research poll on Pakistan..

    The Good, the Bad and the Ugly..
    ——————————————————————————

    The Good

    1. More than 70% Pakistanis support improved relations with India

    77% want increased trade
    76% want further talks
    72% important to improve relations with India

    ——————————-
    The Bad to average.
    ———————————-
    53% think India is the greatest threat to Pakistan
    23% think Taleban in the greatest threat to Pakistan

    This is not entirely bad because , 47% have do not think or have no opinion that India is the greatest threat.

    71-77% fixated on Kashmir.

    The Ugly
    —————————-
    60 years of preaching hate by the state, couched in religious rhetoric have had its effect

    85% for segregation of men and women in workplace
    82% for stoning adulterers
    82% for whipping or harsh punishments like cutting feet, hand
    76% for death penalty for those who leave Islam

    Thats stunning. UN should move to delist any religion and remove its recognition as a religion if it preaches punishment for those who leave it. Its like NAZI Germany or communist Soviet Union where deserters are put to death. Its more like a violent cult , insecure of itself.

    Dear Dr Anand,

    Thank you for your interest shown in the tri-furcation process.

    Let me again answer your worries and queries point by point.

    Let me assure you discussing this subject will not cause any further turmoil than what is already prevalent in the valley. In fact it will probably have a beneficial effect—a section of the rabble rousers will know that if they raise the temperature further, tri-furcation will happen.

    We have to basically put forward the case for tri-furcation in a diplomatic manner.

    a)We first have to give the example of Pakistan, which has assimilated Baltistan as a separate state.

    b) Then show the people in Jammu, Ladakh and Kashmir that this will result in greater progress for all

    c) Promise greater autonomy to the valley after tri-furcation

    d) Let the people of the valley know that Jammu and Ladakh are hurt by the happenings n the valley and have nothing to do with the agitations sponsored by Pakistan and neither do the people who have been driven out—Hindus, Muslims, Buddhist
    —————————————————————

    2) Comparing tri-furcation of J&K with Telengana would be unfair. Here in J&K it is an outside force which is fomenting all the problem. Not so in Telengana, where there is an indigenous demand for a separate state and it has to be done only after taking all concerned into confidence. We have to in fact give the example of the North East of India, where creation of different states has led to peace.

    Further on Jharkand, Uttranchal and Chattisgarh as well Punjab and Haryana are good examples of states dong better after division.

    It is possible, that the current ruling dispensation has no stomach for such an action. But let me re-assure you—do not underestimate Chidambaran, Manmohan or Paranab Mukherjee. All are seasoned guys.
    In opposition we have a BJP, which will surely go for it as it did for creating different states or the nuclear test.

    At the end of the day, we guys on the net—THE INTERNET INDIANS   can sow the seeds so that the idea is debated in all forums. Revolutions only start with the first stone.

    Let us do what we can for it !

    Hello Mr. Vijay
    No sir, I was not comparing the trifurcation of Jand K with AP. I was only stressing the point that any reorganisation of a state is always smooth if there is total consensus on the subject from all the sections of the people in a particular state. That is why the reorganisation of UP, Bihar and Panjab was a smooth affair while in AP it s not going to be as smooth because there is different perception wrt Hyderabad whenever division of Andhra takes place. Similarly Chandigarh still continues to be a point of dispute as it could not be tranferred to Panjab even after reorganisation commission had recommended. I hope I have been able to make my point clear in this respect.
    I has already mentioned that trifurcation of Jand K is a great idea but then the govt. will have to negotiate this with the perople of valley promising autonomy, in the words of Narsimha Rao, to the extent that sky is the limit. I see no problem with Jammu being joined by Ladakh. Leh can be a UT.
    Yes, the idea is feasible if we are able to convince the leaders in the valley. But dont you think it may start a chain reaction of demands from other parts of the country where people have been dreaming of a separate state based on language?

    Anyway, a nice discussion and you are right that revolutions are always initiated with a first stone.
    Regards

    Same **** after i come back from vacation, I must you hindus have such low inferiority complex. Sal these don’t like to discuss the topic at hand, but they go on a tangent of same shit different day.

    Sal since these monkeys are so obsessed with Pakistan, Islam and the recent history, let me give the dose of their history and see whether they like it or not.

    Expansion of trade and Muslim Invaders to India:

    Islam’s impact was the most notable in the expansion of trade. The first contact of Muslims with India, was the Arab attack on a nest of pirates near modern-day Bombay, to safeguard their trade in the Arabian Sea. Around the same time many Arabs settled at Indian ports, giving rise to small Muslim communities. the growth of these communities was not only due to conversion, but also the fact that many Hindu kings of south India (such as those from Cholas) hired Muslims as mercenaries.[12]

    A significant aspect of the Muslim period in world history was the emergence of Islamic Sharia courts capable of imposing a common commercial and legal system that extended from Morocco in the West to Mongolia in the North East and Indonesia in the South East. While southern India was already in trade with Arabs/Muslims, northern India found new opportunities. As the Hindu and Buddhist kingdoms of Asia were subjugated by Islam, and as Islam spread through Africa – it became a highly centralizing force that facilitated in the creation of a common legal system that allowed letters of credit issued in say Egypt or Tunisia to be honoured in India or Indonesia (The Sharia has laws on the transaction of Business with both Muslims and Kaffirs[citation needed]). In order to cement their rule, Muslim rulers initially promoted a system in which there was a revolving door between the clergy, the administrative nobility and the mercantile classes. The travels of explorer Muhammad Ibn-Abdullah Ibn-Batuta were eased because of this system. He served as an Imam in Delhi, as a judicial official in the Maldives, and as an envoy and trader in the Malabar. There was never a contradiction in any of his positions because each of these roles complemented the other. Islam created a compact under which political power, law and religion became fused in a manner so as to safeguard the interests of the mercantile class. This led world trade to expand to the maximum extent possible in the medieval world. Sher Shah Suri took initiatives in improvement of trade by abolishing all taxes which hindered progress of free trade. He built large networks of roads and constructed Grand Trunk Road (1540–1544), which connected Calcutta to Kabul, of which parts of it are still in use today.

    Cultural influence

    The divide and rule policies, two-nation theory, and subsequent partition of India in the wake of Independence from the British Empire has polarized the sub-continental psyche, making objective assessment hard in comparison to the other settled agricultural societies of India from the North West. Muslim rule differed from these others in the level of assimilation and syncretism that occurred. They retained their identity and introduced legal and administrative systems that superseded existing systems of social conduct and ethics. While this was a source of friction it resulted in a unique experience the legacy of which is a Muslim community strongly Islamic in character while at the same time distinctive and unique among its peers.

    The impact of Islam on Indian culture has been inestimable. It permanently influenced the development of all areas of human endeavour – language, dress, cuisine, all the art forms, architecture and urban design, and social customs and values. Conversely, the languages of the Muslim invaders were modified by contact with local languages, to Urdu, which uses the Arabic script. This language was also known as Hindustani, an umbrella term used for the vernacular terminology of Urdu as well as Hindi, both major languages in the Indian subcontinent today.

    Muslim rule saw a greater urbanization of India and the rise of many cities and their urban cultures. The biggest impact was upon trade resulting from a common commercial and legal system extending from Morocco to Indonesia. This change of emphasis on mercantilism and trade from the more strongly centralized governance systems further clashed with the agricultural based traditional economy and also provided fuel for social and political tensions.

    A related development to the shifting economic conditions was the establishment of Karkhanas, or small factories and the import and dissemination of technology through India and the rest of the world. Khurja and Siwan became renowned for pottery, Moradabad for brass ware, Mirzapur for carpets, Firozabad for glass wares, Farrukhabad for printing, Sahranpur and Nagina for wood-carving, Bidar and Lucknow for bidriware, Srinagar for papier-mache, Benaras for jewelry and textiles, and so on. On the flip-side encouraging such growth also resulted in higher taxes on the peasantry.

    Numerous Indian scientific and mathematical advances and the Hindu numerals were spread to the rest of the world[1] and much of the scholarly work and advances in the sciences of the age under Muslim nations across the globe were imported by the liberal patronage of Arts and Sciences by the rulers. The languages brought by Islam were modified by contact with local languages leading to the creation of several new languages, such as Urdu, which uses the modified Arabic script, but with more Persian words. The influences of these languages exist in several dialects in India today.

    Islamic and Mughal architecture and art is widely noticeable in Northern India, examples being the Taj Mahal and Jama Masjid. Though it is also widely argued that the Muslim rulers desecrated the magnificent Hindu temples and existing architectures of the cities after each conquest across India, raising mosques in those places to promote Islam.

    The cultural practices of jauhar and sati, practiced by some Hindu communities, arose in response to periods of threat during the Muslim conquest to prevent kidnapping or capturing of Hindu women to be married to Muslim rulers, nobles or high officials, which was then considered a holy act of jihad and occurred in significant numbers[13].[dubious – discuss]

    The Delhi Sultanate
    Main article: Delhi Sultanate
    This section does not cite any references or sources.
    Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (December 2009)

    Muhammad’s successors established the first dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate, while the Mamluk Dynasty in 1211 (however, the Delhi Sultanate is traditionally held to have been founded in 1206) seized the reins of the empire. Mamluk means “slave” and referred to the Turkic slave soldiers who became rulers. The territory under control of the Muslim rulers in Delhi expanded rapidly. By mid-century, Bengal and much of central India was under the Delhi Sultanate. Several Turko-Afghan dynasties ruled from Delhi: the Mamluk (1211–1290), the Khalji (1290–1320), the Tughlaq (1320–1413), the Sayyid (1414–51), and the Lodhi (1451–1526). Muslim Kings extended their domains into Southern India, the kingdom of Vijayanagar resisted until falling to the Deccan Sultanate in 1565. Certain kingdoms remained independent of Delhi such as the larger kingdoms of Rajasthan,the Kalinga empire starting with the Eastern Ganga dynasty till the Suryavansi dynasties protected and maintained the boundaries of Kalinga till their decline in the late 16th century, parts of the Deccan, Gujarat, Malwa (central India), nevertheless all of the area in present-day Pakistan came under the rule of Delhi.

    The Sultans of Delhi enjoyed cordial, if superficial, relations with Muslim rulers in the Near East but owed them no allegiance. They based their laws on the Quran and the Islamic sharia and permitted non-Muslim subjects to practice their religion only if they paid the jizya (poll tax). They ruled from urban centers, while military camps and trading posts provided the nuclei for towns that sprang up in the countryside.

    Perhaps the most significant contribution of the Sultanate was its temporary success in insulating the subcontinent from the potential devastation of the Mongol invasion from Central Asia in the 13th century, which nonetheless led to the capture of Afghanistan and western Pakistan by the Mongols (see the Ilkhanate Dynasty). The Sultanate ushered in a period of Indian cultural renaissance, The resulting “Indo-Muslim” fusion left lasting monuments in architecture, music, literature, and religion. In addition it is surmised that the language of Urdu (literally meaning “horde” or “camp” in various Turkic dialects) was born during the Delhi Sultanate period as a result of the mingling of Sanskritic Hindi and the Persian, Turkish, Arabic favored by the Muslim rulers of India[citation needed].

    The Sultanate suffered significantly from the sacking of Delhi in 1398 by Timur, but revived briefly under the Lodi Dynasty, the final dynasty of the Sultanate before it was conquered by Zahiruddin Babur in 1526, who subsequently founded the Mughal Dynasty that ruled from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries.

    Rajiv,

    I have read the findings of the PEW research poll.

    My own conclusions are you have put it rightly that years of preaching hate by the state, couched in religious rhetoric have had its effect.

    We now have a full bucketload of Pakistanis, a wasted generation which cannot be engaged in any meaningful dialogue as they are too fixated by bad history and wrong beliefs. See Sal and Azhar as examples. Where is the meeting ground? They believe in terrorism, killing innocents and are proud of converting Non Muslims, Ahemadiyas, Shias etc too their single version of Islam.

    Sadly as the google trends shows, they are also sexually frustrated and this outlet comes in terms of jihad and terrorism. In any society if the rich and powerful marry two or three or four times, they would be very few women for the rest of the society.

    For example:

    If 10% men keep 4 wives
    if next ten percent keep 3
    if next ten percent keep 2

    Then 70% population has only 10% women available for marriage and mating.
    To channelise this frustration a system is made where these males would be asked to

    a) MIgrate out and forcibly convert women from other religions: Pakistanis have done this to their HIndu, Sikh and Buddhist women

    b) Become warriers, that is kill and convert. That is what is happening in most of Pakistan.

    We really have to come to terms with this aspect of Pakistan.

    Then we would understand why Pakistanis think as under…..

    85% for segregation of men and
    women in workplace

    82% for stoning adulterers
    82% for whipping or harsh punishments like cutting feet, hand
    76% for death penalty for those who leave Islam

    Even Musharraf was the right hand of Nawaz Shareef before military coup and so was Zia ul Haq before hanging Bhutto, we can’t really predict what’s gonna happen in future as current PPP regime is highly unpopular amongst Pakistanis.

    Most of the Pakistanis fosee a midterm election in next few months and I hope Kyani will play an important role in changing political dynamics of country.

    As far as Musharraf’s Muhajir ethnicity is concerned, he was actually backed by Punjabi Army for about 10 years and even at the time of his resignation he was given guard of honor by the same army despite countrywide demands of his arrest. So talking about ethnicity would be unfair here, the issue has more to do with power and good governance in Pakistan which remained missing during democracy.

    Hey Vijay read the report and were you also abused when you were young. 53% of you sexullly abused, that is majority of you guys have been abused. Facts don’t lie.

    Over 53% children face sexual abuse: Survey
    TNN, Apr 10, 2007, 12.00am IST

    NEW DELHI: In a shocking revelation, a government commissioned survey has found that more than 53% of children in India are subjected to sexual abuse, but most don’t report the assaults to anyone.

    The survey, released on Monday and which covered different forms of child abuse — physical, sexual and emotional — as well as female child neglect, found that two out of every three children have been physically abused.

    Parents and relatives, persons known to the child or in a position of trust and responsibility were mostly found to be the perpetrators of child sexual abuse in the country. According to the women and child development ministry-sponsored report, which assumes greater significance in the backdrop of the Nithari killings that brought into focus the issue of children’s safety, those in the age group of 5-12 years reported higher levels of abuse.

    While releasing the survey, women and child development minister Renuka Chowdhury said, “Child abuse is shrouded in secrecy and there is a conspiracy of silence around the entire subject. The ministry is working on a new law for protection of children’s rights by clearly specifying offences against children and stiffening punishments.”

    The survey, carried out across 13 states and with a sample size of 12,447, revealed that 53.22% of children reported having faced one or more forms of sexual abuse, with Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Assam and Delhi reporting the highest percentage of such incidents. In 50% of child abuse cases, the abusers were known to the child or were in a position of trust and responsibility and most children did not report the matter to anyone.

    The survey, sponsored by WCD ministry and carried out by the NGO Prayas in association with Unicef and Save the Children, found that over 50% children were subjected to one or the other form of physical abuse and more boys than girls were abused physically. The first-ever survey on child abuse in the country disclosed that nearly 65% of schoolchildren reported facing corporal punishment — beatings by teachers — mostly in government schools.

    Of children physically abused in families, in 88.6% of the cases, it was the parents who were the perpetrators. More than 50% had been sexually abused in ways that ranged from severe — such as rape or fondling — to milder forms of molestation that included forcible kissing.

    The study also interviewed 2,324 young adults between the ages of 18 and 24, almost half of whom reported being physically or sexually abused as children. When it comes to emotional abuse, every second child was subjected to emotional assault and in 83% of the cases, parents were the abusers

    It is the ones in southern and south western india who are being fed a supremacist,even a neo-nazi kind of a mindset that you believe Dr.Swamy has, who are teh problem.They are being asked to forget everything Indian or south asian about themselves.They are asked to learn arabic and not the local languages including urdu, which is largely an indigenous indian language since it’s base is Khadi Boli.They are told that sufis are grave worshipping infidels,Shias are dirty, Qadyanis are the worst infidels and that they(naive young muslims) are the true muslims with their literalist interpretations of islam.
    What is religion if not interpretation??
    The UK is culturally christian, so is the US.We are culturally Hindu & this has nothign to do with religion.
    It is a treatise on values is Hinduism.Not a religion.You can be an atheist and be Hindu.In fact you can be an atheist and be an orthodox, practising Hindu.
    And Dr.Swamy doesn’t just have close Muslim relatives, he also has jewish, christian & Parsee relatives as well.Not to mention the fact that he sat on a fast for Muslim victims of the Hashimpura massacre.

    Your society ?? from when did son of arabian pigs started having society ??
    Intellectual !!! I am surprised….. from 7th century till this date, in last 15 centuries muslims can not be credited with a single innovation. only they know, to fight with others, in the name of islam. first, they will fight with other religions, then with themselves (shia, sunni, sufi, ahmadia etc). they never learn to leave with peace.

    the truth is muslims indeed have a hindu past so i dont understand whats wrong in accepting it , muslims r no outsiders they belong to a land that was once hindustan now its considered secular india, we r not asking them to reconvert to hinduism but want them to accept that they are converts then it might be for any reasons. the hard and truth fact is if they dont change their attitude they will remain of nowhere because arabian’s dont accept them(where most of them beleive they r from lol:)} and soon hindustan will leave them on their own crying. whats the harm in accepting the truth.
