The mango Abdul is just a product of propaganda from three sides: The 'Pakistan Nationhood' propaganda by RAPEs, The 'Pious Islamism propaganda' by the Mullahs, and the reality of the poverty-ridden environment of his friends and family.Brad Goodman wrote:I am not a paki expert just a observant guy but I feel this forum and Indian media in general is concentrating way too much on RAPES as a sample group to feel the pulse of pakistan. RAPES are a tiny miniscule percentage of population of 170 million masses that comprise of todays pakistan. The reason for this is that pakis have one of the lowest literacy rates and the official figures are no where close the ground reality where authorities have counted all people who could identify few alphabets in Urdu or Arabic as literate to inflate figures. So if Cowasjee or the other gang you have mentioned here for a moment writes a passionate article nothing will change on ground.RajeshA wrote:I would like to add, that should India take this up as a psyops project, it is here that all the Najam Sethis, Kamran Shafis, Ardeshir Cowasjeejis can be useful.
It is mostly the RAPE class, which has formulated the Pakistan Nationhood, Pakistan National Policy including the hate towards India. The Mullahs have done their part and indulged the RAPE and given religious cover to their message.Of course, both, the RAPE and the Islamists have found patronage by the Pakistani Army, who have facilitated the propagation of the message to the grassroots using all channels.
Much of the media is in RAPE hands, including the Urdu media. Secondly much of the national mood these days is conveyed through television than over the print media. Where television is not available, there radio does the job.
So getting the RAPE to convey Indian psyops to the Pakistani masses can be helpful. Of course, the way the Indian media hosts and toasts the RAPE class right now is disgusting, but I was not talking of the situation as it stands.
