Shiv, for the brave and courageous, there are many options---more than the ones you listed; some combinations of them as well. But for the cowardly, there is only one option---keep giving land for peace.

My point was recently I stumbled across the article, not the idea or concept of what Pakistan is or Jinnah's intentions in creating it. How you drew the conclusion that I do or do not know about Ramayana, Sita, Rama, Hanuman is beyond me. It has been 50 + years since Pakistan was created and we're still talking about it, we continue to refer to it as terrorist state. The title Terrorist State of Pakistan (TSP) is rather redundant unto itself but we still make it a point to refer to it in such a way and have this entire thread and other threads to discuss the subject. So we all know what Pakistan is and all this is just an interesting passtime.... Dude! No need to be judgemental.

X Posted from the Oppression of Minorities in Pakistan thread.

Following the Mohammadden religion in an IEDological Muslim State and Islamic Republic claimed to have been created as a safe haven for the Mohammaddens of the Indian Sub-Continent brings no succour for the Balochi’s / Baluchi’s.

Pakistan: Secret, dirty killings in Balochistan

Peter G Tatchell

Pakistan’s secret, dirty killings in the province of Balochistan are escalating, according to the Asian Human Rights Commission.

Since the beginning of this year, at least 36 Baloch journalists, writers, human rights defenders, students, nationalists and political activists have been killed extrajudicially. Pakistan’s security services are accused of orchestrating the murders, in a bid to crush Baloch nationalism.

This intensified wave of repression is corroborated by Amnesty International. It has documented the disappearance or murder of 90 persons in ‘kill and dump’ attacks between last November and February 2011. …………………………….

Thanks for an interesting list. Interesting to see the educational background of these Packees. Leaving out Shabaz Sharif (possibly uneducated), other politicians and a few actors/sports persons whose education is not listed

In this list of 15:

9 have studied abroad
5 have done law
3 have done commerce
2 have dome journalism
2 Engineers - both from outside Pakhanastan
Some have done business degrees - including one from Wharton.

It strikes me that a very small percentage of RAPE have science backgrounds. It appears that science and engineering education in Pakistan may not be that strong - and certainly does not appear to be favored among the congenitally rich Packees. Industry leaders in the list often do not have technical/science backgrounds at all.

Pashtuns have no future in TSP. The best course for them is to merge their homeland with Afghan and form alliance with the Baloch's so that a free Balochistan guarantees them and rest of Afghan access to the sea without begging Pakjabi animals in Lawhore. That would also provide India better access to Iranian gas and Central Asia..we could run pipes from Gwadar instead of via TSP land.

Hope GOI wakes up and does the needful together with western powers..

Taliban deny hand in attack on convoy

MIRAMSHAH: The Taliban leadership in North Waziristan has reacted sharply to a recent bomb attack on a convoy in the area, saying the US agents — not the Taliban militants —had attacked the military personnel to achieve their own objectives.

How could that be? Was one of her parents a diplomat posted in India?

I am aware that few Porkis have pursued some form of education in India, but to the best of my knowledge that has largely been restricted to religious studies- I believe there are (and have been) a fair few Pakis at Deoband or Nadwa.

American expensive tubelight moment.
Pakistan fits the bill
By Malik Muhammad Ashraf | Published: July 9, 2011
There is a growing feeling in the higher echelons of the US administration, intellectual circles, political elite and media that America’s strategy in Afghanistan has failed and there is an imperative need for another strategic review. Those who subscribe to this view argue that the war in Afghanistan has gone wrong because Pakistan, despite being an ally of the US, has played a double game by extracting billions of dollars from America to fight terrorism and simultaneously maintained its links with the Taliban and tolerated the presence of Al-Qaeda leadership on its soil. They allege that Pakistan is more focused on India than Afghanistan or the threat of terrorism.

According to Arthur Herman, a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, a former CIA and National Security Council official Bruce Riedel has convinced President Barack Obama that the focus of the war on terror needs to shift from Afghanistan to Pakistan. Herman contended that the irony is that even as Obama was trying to get out of the war in Afghanistan, he might be heading the US into one in Pakistan - a move reminiscent of USA’s strategy in Laos in the 1960s - one of the springboards into the Vietnam quagmire.

An eminent journalist, Bob Woodwards, in his book titled Obama’s Wars also quoted the US President as having said, during his war strategy review, that “we need to make clear to people that the cancer is in Pakistan.” It is feared that the Obama administration, who is facing the increasing political pressure from congressmen to do something and is stuck in a quagmire of its own making might look for a scapegoat - preferably a foreign one - and Pakistan fits the bill.

Another development that strengthens these fears is an article by Zalmay Khalilzad published in the Washington Times a few days ago, in which he has accused Pakistan of maintaining strong links with the militants and suggested the use of coercive methods, like curbing military assistance, mobilisation coordinated financial pressure against Pakistan through allies and the IMF, expand military operations against insurgents in the country, and accelerate security ties with India as part of the containment regime against Pakistan. Yet, another troubling development is the news story published in the Washington Post in which the US administration, reportedly, has accused the ISI of murdering a Pakistani journalist, Saleem Shahzad. These two media initiatives are connected with each other and could be part of USA’s tactics to prepare ground for the implementation of its contemplated new strategy of shifting the focus of the war towards Pakistan. These are very ominous portents and one finds it hard to take issue with those who believe that the US strategic goals in the region are inimical to our national and security interests. That the US initiative of military incursion into Pakistan could destabilise the country, besides jeopardising the safety of our nuclear assets, ought to be taken seriously.

Harbans, Quetta has been a great source of FICN, no doubt. But, the one at Malir, Karachi has also come in a very big way. From being a transit point for FICN, Karachi has evolved into a production centre as well.

Surinder ji , This is exactly the point.A person who is courageous will never run out of options.But then again dhimmification of India(atleast the ruling elite) is almost complete.Until unless we reverse this dhimmification process we will achieve anything.And this reversification process will take time,resources and initiative.

Today India's position is like that of a wrestler who is extremely strong but who also lacks confidence and courage.

For Pakistanis, the fascination with Turkey never ceases
Pakistanis want to jump from bandwagon to bandwagon. From British, to the US, to the Chinese. With the monarchies of the Lands of the Sands in turbulence, some of them want to switch allegiance to Turkey, once again. Of course, from Qaid-e-Azam to Musharraf, everybody spoke of Kemal Ataturk as a role model.
There are similarities between Pakistan and Turkey. {Imaginary, but rubbish otherwise. Pakistan is very unique and one-of-a-kind.} The Kurdish problem, for instance, is much like the Baloch issue, spreading across the borders of more than one country, and plaguing Turkish politics for a long time. And, as it seems from the results of last month’s elections, Turkey is moving towards a more inclusive civilian constitution, which is likely to settle the Kurdish question.

On the other hand, when it comes to their relations with neighbouring countries, Pakistan and Turkey have had a similar past — the present however is in glaring contrast. While Turkey has evolved as a successful model, Pakistan is still dragging on with its Cold War policy baggage. The Turkish doctrine of ‘zero-problems policy with neighbours’ is an excellent working model for Pakistan. Pakistan needs, desperately, vigorous measures that would open up avenues of economic and cultural integration with Iran and perhaps, to some extent, with India as well. Pakistan could benefit both strategically and economically by adopting the soft-power image of Turkey. However, such an image could only come by providing legitimacy to political governments and by adopting a sufficiently independent foreign policy.

Pakistan, now more than ever, needs to re-think its allegiances. In the Middle East, the Arab world is now moving towards a Turko-Persian future. The protestors on the Arab street are ready to embrace Turkey as a long-lost brother. Turkish influence in the Middle East is a favour over the old and waning western, and Saudi spheres of influence. Pakistan needs to start managing its relations in the region accordingly.

Moreover, events in Syria and Bahrain show that Iran is now marking its territory as well. Saudi Arabia has had a hard time countering the Iranian overtures. Its diplomatic efforts, after the onset of the Arab Spring, have been frantic and desperate. Aligning solely with the aging house of Saud, no matter how close it is to the Pakistani establishment, presents a less favourable scenario than an approach that manages both Iran and Saudi Arabia in a more balanced way — just like Turkey has done.

In the eyes of western analysts, the increasing influence of Turkey (and to a lesser extent Iran) through the past decade is a move towards rebuilding an empire. What is alleged as ‘neo-Ottomanism’ is often used to criticise Ahmet Davutoglu’s doctrine on the Turkish sphere of influence. This, coupled with the ‘Shia crescent’, a reference to the Iranian influence through the Shia population in Bahrain, Lebanon and eastern Saudi Arabia, is likely to define the modern identity of the Middle East — a populist and independent identity. Pakistan, which is ideologically more on the periphery of the Middle East than that of South Asia, should identify its role in this emerging order, before it is too late.
An overhauling of the system is needed. There is no harm in redesigning Pakistan’s democracy and none whatsoever in coming up with a new foreign policy.

Well, Turkey has good relations with Israel, economically and militarily they were strained last year of course with the Gaza issue.

Let's see if the Islamic folks will be happy with an allegiance with Turkey that has good relations with a Jewish state.

The main reason, why Turkey is all of a sudden again interesting to the Islamists, is because of the success of AKP, but mostly because of the worsening of relations between Turkey and Israel, culminating in the Gaza Flotilla episode.

...and not despite it.

Too late. You took your eyes of the ball and the score went up to 102.

Yes.and they kill Indian road workers in Afghanistan.
Bomb Indian embassies.
The pashtoons are anti India..If they get killed in Karachi they will get more of them from their supply dump in FATA..but if the mohajirs are gone, they have no reserve and all our fun will be gone. I want the Mohajirs to keep up the good work.

Pakistanis want to jump from bandwagon to bandwagon. From British, to the US, to the Chinese. With the monarchies of the Lands of the Sands in turbulence, some of them want to switch allegiance to Turkey, once again. Of course, from Qaid-e-Azam to Musharraf, everybody spoke of Kemal Ataturk as a role model.
When a whore wants to settle down and find a husband, she has to do so in another city or country...not in the same place. Our Pakibaric animal neighbours are fairly well known in Arap world where they are seen as scum, so try another corner where they are not so well known (other than that their president engaged hookers and never paid for them :D ). If Turkey fails they will discover their Malaysian roots perhaps, but then they are well known there too..
