Very clever of Poak, Who TF he called elder brother? Buddhaa hogga tera Baap !!
Poaks are allowed to call us Jija Ji onlee a.k.a. Wagha ke par rehene wale Jijas.

I disagree that Paki obsession with Kashmir has no impact on their state of affairs or economy, because they have found their "identity in Kashmir" and willingly mortgaged the whole nation and sold themselves to the highest bidder from time to time, according to Pakis Kashmir proves the viability of their own nation and existence of 2 nation theory (half rubbished by 1971). TSP will do anything and everything to get a victory in Kashmir as a loss or no movement will mean that the last excuse for the existence of this shambolic nation has fallen.

This is why I had mentioned that Paki's remaining glued to Kashmir and parroting it is good news for India as it means that they will continue to sell themselves everyday to achieve an nonviable goal which will and is leading them to decay everyday.
I think Pakistan's status has become a bit more nuanced. The Kashmir caterwauls began as something that could be sold to the west - with Amreeka blowing huge farts across the world saying that they stood for "Freedom". Everyone was forced to believe that (America says so, so it's true) and the Pakis used that with alacrity and made Cashmeer a freedom struggle. But as history has shown Pakistan needs a fight with outsiders to maintain internal stability (like so many other regimes in the past). The Cashmere story worked for a while and now that it is fading - the Pakis are brining in "water issues" and "Afghanistan" as reasons to have a fight with India.

The Pakistani establishment needs a fight with India to survive. Look at those 14,000 trained Pakis ready to fight India. Their only raisin dieter was jihad against India. Why aren't they fighting India? Pakistan would try and infiltrate them if it could - but that option is becoming untenable and costly for various reasons. So they are forced to hold on to trained young men - probably ranging from 20 to 35 years old - feeding them and perhaps keeping them disarmed. It will be 20 years before the "fight goes out" of these men, but they have to be fed and kept in good cheer till then. if they get arms - they will become "autonomous". At best (For pakis) they will try and fight India on their own. But worse - they will fight the Paki army for not letting them fight India. And the Paki army cannot afford to allow those men to attack India because not only will they be killed - the Paki army too will face the music. The Paki army's wars are no longer supported by a US that is blowing "freedom" farts across the world. The US is now blowing "Let me save my own ass" farts.
That is a very big problem for India and Indians then, if Pakis want to fight to maintain credibility among the Awam. If we fight back , we are just giving them what they want and in the process potentially sacrificing our men in uniform, if we don't fight back and deny them the opportunity to fight then we come off looking like bunnies who are too afraid to defend our motherland, so what's the way forward then ??

When they try to hit us again (make no mistake , they'll try) and god forbid they succede on a parliment or mumbai scale then what are we to do ? . There are a few solutions but everyone has severe handicaps


1.) Diplomatic / Political warfare - similar to post 26/11

2.) Economic warfare

3.) Water wars

4.) Military confrontation

5.) Our own proxy War

6.) No action at all

Nihat ji,

In the thread "Managing Pakistan's Failure", these are the exact questions we have been pondering upon.

Of course, taking down those who sponsor terrorist attacks on India, through some covert action seems the most appropriate course of action.

There were three other options, I personally found had some merit.
  1. Land for Terror
  2. Supari Plantation in Afghanistan
  3. Compensation for Terror Victims
Nihat wrote:If we fight back , we are just giving them what they want and in the process potentially sacrificing our men in uniform, if we don't fight back and deny them the opportunity to fight then we come off looking like bunnies who are too afraid to defend our motherland
The key is to build a Pushtun Force in Afghanistan, which cooperates closely with India, is firmly in favor of an independent Pushtunistan, and have the connections to influence the Pushtun Taliban in FATA and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.

Whenever Pakistan attacks India, we start our coordination with the Afghans, who create a secessionist mood in Pushtun lands of Pakistan, and if we attack Pakistan then, Pakistan would be under pressure from both sides. It would also not lead to a consolidation of anti-Kufr platform in Pakistan.

In all this, we keep our war with Pakistan short and do not allow it to escalate. We grab a chunk of Pakistani land in Pakjab as compensation for the terror attack, and demand that Pakistan delivers our list of 20 Terrorists, we want from them, within a month, if they wish a return of the land. They will not relent. So we keep the land.

Every time they attack India, they lose a chunk of their land in Pakjab proper. Pakistani Army's reputation would be finished.

Then terrorists and the Taliban flooded Pakistan, tearing apart our socio-economic fabric. The biggest danger is that all these extremist elements are developing a nexus with Pakistan at the core.
Q How bad is Pakistan’s current condition and why are you going back?
A I think that the state is in great danger. My concern is Pakistan and I see at this moment nobody who can handle Pakistan so it’s nosediving down. GDP grew by 8.6% when I was head of state and now it’s 2.2%. The debt of the country has tripled in three years, or more than was accumulated in 60 years. The currency has [been devalued]. Foreign direct investment has collapsed, inflation is high, unemployment too.

Q What role has India played in hurting perception of Pakistan’s victimization?
A A great deal. India is better at public relations and bigger too. Indians are everywhere. Israel and India lobby together against Pakistan. [India supported Palestinian independence until 1992, but then recognized Israel.] I believe we need to review relations with Israel at some point, but the Palestinian problem has to be resolved. That situation is very unpopular in Pakistan.
.
Q Should the military be in charge again to stabilize the country. Why don’t you lead another army takeover?
A I think military takeovers are no longer in fashion in the world, or in Pakistan, and the answer has to be found through democratic and political solutions. The only way to save Pakistan is to have unity between thought and action. If I can come back through an electoral mandate, I know the army and bureaucracy will follow me. There is no way the military will allow Pakistan to become a failed state

ANALYSIS: The way forward — II —Abdul Khalique Junejo
The establishment, comprising the military and civil bureaucracy belonging to Punjab and Mohajirs (refugees from India) have held absolute power over the state apparatus, so much so that they did not allow the elected representatives of the Bengali and Baloch people any say in national affairs
Amongst them, G M Syed was more vocal in his views and more specific in his ideas, which he put in writing before the people, the ultimate sovereign, and tried to implement them in conjunction with his like-minded colleagues. .While presenting, along with Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, Abdul Samad Khan Achakzai and other friends, the political programme of Pakistan People’s Organisation in 1948, he said:
“...In the modern world particularly, such a state (based on communalism) will instead of serving the cause of universal peace or human progress, tend only to accentuate division, disruption and the consequential conflict and misery.

“...Pakistan should be a completely independent state drawing its strength and inspiration from its own people and keeping itself scrupulously free from the encroaching influence of those imperialist powers whose interest it is to foment the present atmosphere of war-mongering and world domination.”

Addressing the world peace conference at Vienna in 1952, he said:

“...Many of people who are mustering strength in the name of religion believe that we should do away with Anglo-Roman judicial system and replace it with obsolete mediaeval jurisprudence. According to that the thief will have his hands amputated, the fornicator will be stoned to death and the people with different views on religion will be put to the sword.

“...In order to secure the leadership of the world and domination of Islam they will propagate the jihad and the Muslims will be converted into a jingoistic and chauvinistic society.

“...I would like to emphasise to delegates of this conference in general and from the UK and America in particular, that the efforts of the American and British governments who want to unite the Muslims on the basis of their so-called religious beliefs are fraught with dangerous possibilities.

Pakistan’s nuclear-bomb maker says North Korea paid bribes for know-how
Abdul Qadeer Khan has made available documents that he says support his claim that he personally transferred more than $3 million in payments by North Korea to senior officers in the Pakistani military, which he says subsequently approved his sharing of technical know-how and equipment with North Korean scientists.

Some Western intelligence officials and other experts have said that they think the letter is authentic and that it offers confirmation of a transaction they have long suspected but could never prove.

Sum, please don't post things like this... our WKK media might quote you as a senior intelligence person and report this and Pakis's might quote that and scream in their forums...
if they needed help from their elder brother, they need to fall flat on the ground before their brother feet and beg his forgiveness, not demand it... even WKKs might not oblidge!!!

Come to Karachi or Lahore, it’s no different from Delhi or Mumbai. The perception among Indians is that in Pakistan it’s all backwardness and orthodoxy clubbed with terror,” she says.

I like this parting shot... come to Kar-ache or La-whore...
Does Karachi have a cosmopolitan culture like Mumbai... hell our Amji Mumbai even has many Synagogues... our Delhi has a Bahaai temple..
Does Lahore even allow a Muharram procession without blowing everything up??
Does Karachi have a Temple of the stature of Jumma Masjid like in Delhi??
Does their Punjab or Sindh have a Hindu or Sikh Chief Minister... we have a muslim Vice President, Had a Muslim President, A Christian Speaker, hell a Sikh PM and a Christian-foreigner Defacto PM.
The only thing non-islamic Pakis seem to tolerate is American $$$. they actually love it, so much so, they'll sell anything to grab more of it...

India doesn't have any problems with Paki's backwardness or even orthodoxy... only with the terror exported from this shithole...

PS: Suddenly Paki's have started calling themselves backward and orthodox from progressive, leadership, modern etc... probably this is the impact of the cousin==fiance==former bollywood movies lover's influence

Good thinking. This has been the precise problem that India has had to grapple with and people people like me and others have been whining about for some time.

There may be some dim light at the end of the tunnel though. Since all that I will say has been said a thousand times before I will try and be brief. The games that the Pakis played are great if you also have a country that is progressing and developing economically - or is already a superpower. Pakistan was/is none of that and gradually started falling behind leading to internal strife. It would have happened earlier if not for the US and to an extent China. US aid in particular has kept the Paki army punching above its weight - but the US was never bothered (or got fooled by Pakis) on the question of real economic development, population control, literacy etc. These help to make Pakistan fail, but not collapse. I will explain what I mean by "fail but not collapse" in another post whet I have organized some new thoughts I have.

Targetting RAPE and RAPElets in Amreeka and urope is the best option... remember what happened to the "Black September" group...it looks like we might get support for this from an very unlikely source... Mr Brandy need not do this, there are enough street gangs and drug cartels who would do a job for couple of thousand $$$s, think of all the illegal - undocumented RAPEs living in uncleland? in a city like detroit (favored detn for RAPElets) one will $h00t for a joint!!!

This article must rank as the most anti-TSPA article ever to appear in TSP media..

http://www.dailyCRimes.com.pk/default.a ... 2011_pg3_2

Change CR to T

In essence he argues that the Kurram operation is mainly to facilitate the free movement of jehadi terrorist assets of TSPA and subjugate tribal groups that are standing in the way...it is not to fight terror as is being sold to fools in Washington...to the WKKs of India of course, no effort need be made to sell anything they queue up to buy anything TSPA/ISI provides...

Some unusually strong paragraphs are worth highlighting:
The Turis and Bangash tribesmen are of the opinion that on the Thall-Parachinar Road, the only extortionists bigger than the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) are the officers of the army
Several attacks on the Turi and Bangash, including by Pakistan Army helicopter gunships last year killing several Pakistanis, have not dented the resolve of the locals to fight back against the jihadists
Projecting the Haqqani network and Hekmatyar’s operatives into Afghanistan from Tari Mangal, Mata Sangar, Makhrani, Wacha Darra and Spina Shaga and other bases on the border is a pivotal component of the Pakistani strategy to keep the US bogged down in Afghanistan
the army’s gunships swooped down on them to protect its jihadist partners
To disarm and thus defang the tribesmen, who have held their own against the disproportionately stronger and state-sponsored enemy for almost half a decade, is essentially pronouncing their death sentence
Pakistan’s security establishment can perpetuate on the US and the world a fraud like the hashtag de-radicalisation on Twitter and buzzwords like de-programming suicide bombers
Hope western media takes note...should be faxed / emailed to every one of them..

NatGeo Episode on IC 814 hijack

No matter what spin we put on this....IMO this episode was atrociously handled by the Govt. of the day. Simple case of right hand not knowing what the left one is doing. I read here on BRF, earlier that the NSG was stuck in traffic in Amritsar :roll: But, the revelation that Amritsar police was unable to get a sniper to shoot the tires of the damn plane is appalling to say the least!

Also, the UAE is one of our biggest trading partners and even then we could not extract any help from them? The Ummah brotherhood(blood) is seriously thicker than water....

Anyway, what a heavy price has been paid for releasing those 3 pigs?? :|

Folks - I made a statement above that I need to explain - some new aha moments I had. I said that Pakistan is failing but may not collapse. The idea of making such a differentiation between failure and collapse came from some articles I was reading about Somalia on the BBC website. Much as I dislike the BBC's views the articles were lucid and informative. Please pardon me for digressing a bit about Somalia. I intend to talk about Pakistan eventually.

The article speaks of Somalia's northern 1/3rd which has a coastline oriented east-west in the gulf of Aden (and not Indian Ocean). That area has declared independence and calls itself "Somaliland". It apparently used to be a British colony that was given independence and stayed independent for 5 days before opting to join the rest of Somalia, but has now split away again. Somaliland is the leaast dysfunctional of all the areas of Somalia. Actually I think the UN should recognize it as a separate state and aid it to become a separate country - I haev no idea why no one is bothered about doing that.

The rest of Somalia is the "failed state". The Southern parts - the region that has a coastline on the Indian ocean includes Mogadishu which for some inexplicable reason is still called the "Capital of Somalia". Those Southern areas are currently in the midst of a famine and are dominated by an Islamist group called the Al Shabab who apparently tell Somali women "Marry or be beheadead". What tickled me no end was the BBC article description that says, in the same breath, that Somalia is a "failed state" but its economy is doing well. wtf?

The article goes on to explain that although Somalia is failed businesses have thrived. Somali businessmen have taken risks to set up a Telecom network and are reaping rich rewards fro taking that risk. Therefore the economy is doing well. In addition Somalia gets $2 billion as remittances from no resident Somalis abroad and that forms about 60% of Somalia's income.

The point I am making here is that you can have a country that is failing on all counts. A country where one part has split away and has already declared independence. A country that is spreading Islamist terror and mayhem to areas around it - including piracy on the ocean. And still it is considered to be one country. But a failed country. But an economically successful country. A country of famines and poverty and violence. Just look at the contradictions in the descriptions of Somalia:

Somalia is supposed to be
  • "One country"
  • A failed country
  • An economically successful country supported by some businesses and foreign remittances
  • A country with famine and Islamist terrorism. Islamic radical groups at war with others.
See the parallels with Pakistan? Despite differences the similarities are striking

Pakistan is not one country. It is 3 or 4. Some of those countries are failed countries. Others are doing well economically and are well supported by foreign remittances. Some areas have great poverty and even malnutrition.

Basically the world has "given up" on Somalia and as long as it is no skin off their balls the world will "give up" on Pakistan. Maybe that would be a good thing - especially of the US "gave up".

But in the case of Somalia I think the problem could be reduced by international recognition of Somaliland as a separate country with the UN seat that goes with it. Pakistan too should be dealt with similarly. Reduce the size of the problem by recognizing first a Pashtunistan and help that nation survive. Let the economically prosperous Islamist factions of Pakjab and Sindh be a separate country that is not allowed to exert hegemony over weaker people. Not an easy solution to implement given that Pashtunistan will be land locked - but why not get Baluchistan into the picture?

Pakistan needs to be split.n The simple act of recognizing the aspiratiosn of the Pasthun people on both sides of the Durand line would be a step forward.

A New Chapter has Started in India-Pakistan Relationship: SM Krishna
AoA. It is all fine and dandy to be diplomatic and speak of a new chapter. Realistically speaking, we have seen several new chapters open like that over the last six decades and here we are today with with the tag of having experienced the highest number of cross border terrorist attacks any country in the world had ever experienced and over such a long period of time too. So, let us limit the diplomatic speech to that level and be realistic and practical underneath that high pedestal.
"A new chapter has opened in our relations with Pakistan where I had gone recently {and the whole world knows how it ended} and the latest was the foreign secretary-level meeting in Islamabad. Let us admit that there is a trust deficit between the two countries and the gap was becoming bigger and bigger between India and Pakistan. However, both are working to narrow the gap," Krishna, who is on a three day visit to Dhaka, said while addressing top Bangladeshi editors.

Army, Taliban clash in Miranshah
MIRANSHAH: Pakistani troops backed by attack helicopters clashed with Taliban fighters in the main town of North Waziristan’s tribal district on Wednesday, witnesses and officials said. The rare clashes in Miranshah came after a bomb killed three Pakistani soldiers and although military officials confirmed troops were in action, there was no sign it was the start of a major operation demanded by Washington. North Waziristan, the most infamous of Pakistan’s seven tribal districts on the Afghan border, is a stronghold of the al Qaeda-linked Haqqani network, but Pakistan has resisted US pressure to launch a sweeping offensive in the area. Instead witnesses said Wednesday’s clashes broke out after Pakistani troops started to blow up a private hospital used by the Taliban and other militants, one day after a nearby bomb attack killed three troops and wounded another 15. During the five-hour standoff, one local resident said he saw two Pakistani gunship helicopters shelling a government school where militants were holed up. Another witness said militants fired on a helicopter from a rooftop in the main market, where traders were trapped by the fighting. Locals feared civilian casualties. afp

:rotfl: Just when you think MEA is done with its quota of glib statements vis-a-vi Pacquis; it pulls out another one out of its musharraf.

( Its not between India and Pakistan but INC and Pakistan )
Ahead of the Pakistan foreign minister's visit to New Delhi External Affairs Minister S M Krishna on Wednesday said a "new chapter" has opened in India-Pakistan ties and both sides are working to narrow the trust deficit between them.
"A new chapter has opened in our relations with Pakistan where I had gone recently and the latest was the foreign secretary-level meeting in Islamabad [ Images ]. Let us admit that there is a trust deficit between the two countries and the gap was becoming bigger and bigger between India [ Images ] and Pakistan. However, both are working to narrow the gap," Krishna, who is on a three day visit to Dhaka, said while addressing top Bangladeshi editors.
"All this is culminating in the Pakistan foreign minister's visit to Delhi on July 26-27," he said, adding, "These are all positive signs with a beneficial impact on the bilateral relationship."

Effort to Help Pakistan Export Mangos to the US stalls
Mangoes have long been used by local politicians to woo voters and by Pakistani leaders to smooth relations with their Indian counterparts.
And to explode planes midair.

But in the case of Somalia I think the problem could be reduced by international recognition of Somaliland as a separate country with the UN seat that goes with it. Pakistan too should be dealt with similarly. Reduce the size of the problem by recognizing first a Pashtunistan and help that nation survive. Let the economically prosperous Islamist factions of Pakjab and Sindh be a separate country that is not allowed to exert hegemony over weaker people. Not an easy solution to implement given that Pashtunistan will be land locked - but why not get Baluchistan into the picture?

Pakistan needs to be split. The simple act of recognizing the aspirations of the Pasthun people on both sides of the Durand line would be a step forward.
I made a suggestion how, IMHO, a stable arrangement of Northern Afghanistan, Pushtunistan and Baluchistan could look like.

Also some thoughts on how to proceed to bring about recognition to Pushtunistan and Baluchistan.

Yes, India needs to ensure that the decay of Pakistan is long drawn and sustained. India needs to put the lid on and turn the flame to simmer. They need to be cooked into a mush under their own pressure. Life needs to become a living hell, but only a small bit worse than it was for them yesterday, making them think that they can deal with it and overcome. However this incremental hell will become even more hellish the next day and the next day.

I am sure all of us have heard of a frog dropped in hot water jumps out, but the frog that is in cold water when slowly boiled , will stay in there and die.

If we ever see signs of them trying to get out of their predicament, Either by splitting into smaller countries or by reconciliation, we must make happen certain events that will stop that from happening. This may be the least romantic of the options but in my opinion, the most effective.


We just need to play defense and not concede any thing to them till such time. We need an other 1000 more sessions of "Bridging the Trust deficit" and "Frame work for talks" and "Understanding each other's concerns" .

In your 3rd option, you forgot to add compensation for IC 814 hijack. Please watch the video and share the misery (for those who haven't already)
anishns ji,

The Mumbai Terror Attack of 26/11, was not the only terrorist attack on India by Pakistan. So when calculating the compensation for that, the intention was simply to give an example. It was not to be an exhaustive listing of all Pakistan would owe India due to terrorism.

anish:

Regarding IC814, the price being paid for the release of the three is not really relevant. Another set of pigs would have replaced the set which were released.

What was depressing of course was the lack of any preparation or set of pre-defined protocols to follow in such a situation. As 26/11 indicated, things have not really changed after a decade.

Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it.

Counter-terror strategy is home grown: Gilani
COAS: Army answerable to people
If we have our SMK, they have their Gilanis and Kiyanahis.

I am at a loss to describe this article. Incredulous? Dim witted? Spoken by slime balls? Duplicitious? I will settle for a combination of all.

They seem to be viewing the world through rose tinted glasses. Or are they high on afghani maal?

One thing that emerges is that they seem to have realised that they have pushed Unkil too far. Trying to make amends but habits die hard. The thread of duplicity woven into their psyche, reflected in their ongoing appeasement.

Only the mango abduls can fall for this. Maybe, a small maybe, even unkil.

From that same link...
The conference was also addressed by Chief of the Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani. Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Barrister Masood Kosar and federal and provincial ministers were present at the seminar besides several foreign speakers.

He said that despite many challenges Pakistan’s commitment towards elimination of democracy is total and unwavering.
