Pakis are indeed fighting for dignity as they define dignity. No one fights for so long, and with so much steadfastness and conviction as pakis have done, unless it is for core beliefs and genuinely-felt psychological needs. (It follows that you can't end that jihad by demanding its end, or even wishing for it to end as some pakis do. You can only end it either by psychological transformation aimed at teaching pakis that (a) they are wrong and (b) they will never get what they desire, so they should give up.)A_Gupta wrote:For that, the perpetual jihad they wage against dignity must end.Pakistan desires “peace with dignity”
For pakis it is an indignity to see inferior Hindus act as if they are as good as Muslims, by right. They don't mind treating Hindus with a semblance of respect as long as it is strictly volitional on their part, and it is perfectly understood that the Hindus are at the Muslims' mercy which can be withdrawn as needed or at a whim.
(It may be that "Muslims" should be replaced by "ashrafs--what BRF calls TFTAs--but the ashraf psychological dominance over Muslims in general is so complete that it is not useful at this time to make that distinction).
Hindus by and large see this granting of respect (which elevates pakis' own sense of dignity and condescension and can sometimes take exaggerated forms like not charging Indian visitors for chai) and confuse it with their own attitude which is that all are equal, by constitutional, and increasingly, social, right, and therefore have an inherent right the same respect. Because of this confusion, Hindus get disappointed and enraged when Muslims exercise their whim and go on the rampage against Hindus.
Pakistan was created because Jinnah's sense of dignity was offended at SDREs acting like they owned India, and didn't appreciate the fact that TFTAs are the true owners, willing to condescend to be "secular". Jinnah's umbrage tapped into a deep-seated TFTA fear of being insulted by having to compete on inherently equal terms with SDREs.
Indians qua Hindus don't get any lasting psychological benefit from subduing Pakistan and the TFTAs, the motivation has been physical self-defense. By keeping the physical attacks at relative pin-prick levels of terrorism, Pakistan has managed to mitigate not just the Indian response, but the Indian will and desire to fight and crush its enemy.
We SDREs have become very poor in our understanding of psychology, both ours and that of the enemy; even more to the point, we have become poor in recognizing the key role of psychology for survival. We should be waging jihad for our psychological survival, as well as defending ourselves physically.
. Saudi Arabia has reportedly passed a law that ban’s Saudi Arabian men marrying women from the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Ban also includes women from Mohammadden majority Bangladesh, Chad and Morocco:
. Surprised as a straw poll conducted by me among the demographic of native Hindi speakers showed a complete lack of interest for Pakistani TV fare with only one individual admitting to have watched the channel out of curiosity and found it to be mediocre and hence has stopped. 
. Or perhaps I picked the wrong demographic with pre-partition Punjabi nostalgia coupled with interest of India’s Muslim population fuelling this liking:?: :
