Wrong. Pakistan is of Indian origin. Pakistanis are Arab and Central Asian origin, or Turkish even. Most of them are tall fair and tight-assed. And almost everybody is a direct descendant of their prophet.

Paki honor and dignity which is protected by bandwagoning that echandee with Islam has to be battered and crushed to such an extent that Pakis will be able to join a nation that is called India. Only at that stage can Pakis become Indians. Right now Paki echandee and identity rests of
1. We are not Indian
2. We are Indian, but Muslims who would have been oppressed by bigoted Hindus
3. We were the rulers of India and Indians would do well to be ruled by us
These are the narratives that have been pushed in Pakistan since partition. I am certain that the minute a Paki acquires some wealth and some food to eat he starts believing in all this - so the only Pakis who can possibly become Indian is the poorest and most screwed up Paki.
This wealthy Paki is the very class of Paki who allied with the USA and depended on the US and now China to survive. Every wealthy Pakistani belongs to this class. They represent Pakistan's strength and Pakistan's identity.
Perhaps the best thing India can do to Pakistan is to let Pakistanis live as a separate country but hinge trade on the development of normal inter state relations like not encouraging crime and terrorism in India. Pakistan is a horrendous monster state - but its survival was greatly aided by the US "acting in its own interest". A big priority in making Pakistan a "normal state" is to force the US by hook or by crook to stop arming Pakistan. Pakistan managed armed forces that were 3-4 times bigger than its national resources would allow solely by bandwagoning with the USA. If I ever write a book again I would like to concentrate on the ways in which Pakistan has been strengthened and supported by its alliance with a USA "acting in US interest".
It does not matter if aid to Pakistan is eaten up by the wealthy and the poor of Pakistan are screwed even more - but teh powerful Paki army and LeT/Jamaat ud Dawa should not have the benefit of the latest arms that makes them cocky. I anticipate that they will enhance nuclear threats if the flow of conventional arms is reduced. But that would be bravado. The Pakistan army has to shrink to 1/3 of its current size. The assorted terrorist groups who depend on the army (which gets US support by a USA "acting in US interests") will fade in strength and influence as they get militarily weaker. Even if the US stops arming Pakistan today - it will be 2021 before Pakistan army really feels any major effect that is difficult to correct without further US arms aid.
If we can pressure the USA to quit arms aid, we will be in a much stronger position to see of the irrational Islamist threat posed by the Paki army and the dysfunctional Paki state. Whether the state remains intact or not is a different issue. I am dead certain that India's rejection of hight ticket offensive weapons from the USA is related to the US arming of Pakistan. The US may retain a veto power on the Pakistani military but will not get a veto power on the Indian military. Better India US ties, with much more trust are possible when the USA stops arming Pakistan ("out of US interest"). I have something to say about that - but in a different thread.

From What cut? US continues to fund Pakistan military
NEW DELHI: Despite the US declaring a cut in funding to Pakistan, the Obama administration has asked for an additional $1.5 billion in "coalition support funds" for the 2012 financial year. Pakistan has in the past received over 75% of these additional funds which are technically meant for all of US' allies.
Re: Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan (TSP): Aug 05, 20

Now look at this snake oil seller Imtiaz Gul - but before I make the quote let me post some background information
1. Pakistan invited Chinese troops into PoK
2. Pakistan asked China to take over Gwadar
3. Pakistan says China will supply 50 JF-17s (will write more about that in the other forum

4. Pakistan hands over US stealth helo for Chinese inspection
But Imtiaz Gul plays on US fears by writing this:
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home ... 254891.cms
I don't think BRFites should worry too much about Pakis who call themselves Indian. Our real worry is the Indians who accept that. The way this Imtiaz Gul peddles his tripe in the Times ofAnd here lies the core of Pakistan-US differences - a conflict between America's short-term objective to extricate most of its troops out of Afghanistan, and the Pakistani attempt to prevent further damage to its long-term interests in a war that has cost it more than 35,000 civilian and military casualties and severely hurt the economy.
This divergence, however, is unlikely to derail the relationship altogether. For one, America's partial withdrawal from Afghanistan requires a friction-free engagement with Pakistan. Second, the US cannot afford to vacate the space for Beijing. (says this Paki) Gen David Petraeus's trip to Rawalpindi on July 13 and Gen Ahmed Shuja Pasha's parleys in Washington around the same time should be seen in this context - of mutual dependence.

Somehow I find it difficult to believe that news item. How can negotiators do all the paperwork to block help to Pakistan and all that be reversed by a word from MMS. For MMS's word to work the paperwork will have to be redone after an official communication from India that India has dropped its reservations and the EU once again has to sanction that aid. It can;t be done by simply snapping a finger.
If bureaucratic procedures can be reversed on whims - then all agreements can be rubbished easily. Will wait to see how this plays out.

Re: Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan (TSP): Aug 05, 20
Many of us has been wondering, why is the U.S still supportive of Pakistan. Why the U.S still funds Pakistan. Many will come to the conclusion that its because the U.S considers its interests and Pakistan is need for them while India is not needed in the war against terror or relationship with India is far less significant.
But my view is that it's not so. The reason for U.S still funding Pakistan is that they see in funding Pakistan outweighed benefits from not doing so. Only recently this equation with Pakistan was changing because the benefits seems less and more of a trouble and loss hence many are rethinking about the aid.
From India's point of view, we complain about being cheated by the U.S, so and so..
The U.S is not against having a good relationship with India. No nation will ever be in the present situation. But that relationship must be so valuable or it must be big loss for them if they did have a good relationship with India. It was surely valuable for the U.S but the loss to U.S for breaking the trust was not there. Even when the U.S supported Pakistan, the relationship between India and U.S was never affected. So the U.S was able to do what they wanted for their own gains. India lost. If India must have put good relationship with U.S solely if it's beneficial to India and not being harmful to India, things must not have got worse. Now the U.S is having a rethink on their policy vis-a-vis Pakistan. It's time that India tells the U.S to either choose India or Pakistan. And we'll call the shots in the Indian subcontinent. But MMS is sleeping. Either he has to wake up or this govt need to be voted out in the next election.

Sridhar I would accept the chankyanism explanation of MMS has said that but there is no official move to change anything or remove India's objection.

Re: Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan (TSP): Aug 05, 20
It was affected alright. Let me recall some history here. I have posted news items of warnings from India in the late 1960s that relations would be affected. And sure enough the 20 year India-Soviet agreement that gave cover USSR support to India in 1971 against US interests was the clearest indicator of India US relations being in deep chill. It is ironic and educative to note that India's strongest prime minister took the most powerful and significant anti US actions. And still the US could not break off relations with India. It could only fret and fume.uddu wrote: But my view is that it's not so. The reason for U.S still funding Pakistan is that they see in funding Pakistan outweighed benefits from not doing so.

The US was operating from a position of weakness wrt to Pakistan. The US could not afford to antagonise Pakistan but they could afford to antagonise India. The US had a leg up on India because there was not a lot India could do. But Pakistan had a leg up on the US because no matter what the US farted about "Democracy" they could not support India against a Paki military dictatorship.
From time to time the US has squirmed and shown anger at Pakistan, and has equally tried to maintain a good relationship with India - knowing that US balls are being squeezed by Pakistan. But the US has always needed Pakistan more than India and the US has been made subservient to Pakistani interests. This is a US weakness and must be recognised as such.
if the US controls Pakistan, then we can control Pakistan only be controlling the US. But if Pakistan controls the US we can change the way the US behaves by threatening Pakistan. Huge difference.
In 1998 one more Indian PM, Vajpayee took an action that upset the US's applecart. It also upset munna. But it changed the world. Challenging US authority and risking ties with the US may be a good strategy, but it has costs.

Guys so far the story about MMS intervening in the EU issue seems to be a dud, but I wouldn't rule it out yet. Some crap is going on and not clear yet. Story may be a pre-emptive by people totally opposed to it.
Myself, I would not rule out such a move from the PM. If he has done it, it will be gross error of judgement and entirely the result of his apparently muddled thinking on Pakistan - and his sycophantic entourage who do not have the guts to call it like it is, probably over-estimating India's capacity to influence Pakistan (again).

Dont think there can be smoke without fire( about MMS name repeatedly turning up asking for EU favour to Pak)
Re: Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan (TSP): Aug 05, 20
Let's remember that it was MMS who sent the invitation to Gilani for the Mohali mela discarding channels through MEA and keeping SMK in the dark (not that SMK would have minded the slight). At SeS too, he directly dictated to and/or corrected the Foreign Secretary in the write-up of the Joint statement. He has taken it upon himself to act unilaterally in the Pakistan issue. Considering his lack of attention to other areas and consequently the general drift in governance that the country suffers from, this keenness on Pakistan stands out like a very sore thumb. I would therefore not be surprised if indeed the news item turned out to be true. We will wait.

Re: Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan (TSP): Aug 05, 20
Here is my interpretation. Recall, as much as McCain gives a rodent's behind when it comes to environment, global warming, and any change in US consumption/lifestyle in combating them, environemntal issues become a big deal when it comes to India, specifically, US has been making some noises of late about Indian army in Siachen causing some environmental damaage or some crap like that. I don't have the specific news reports or links handy, but I do recall US pushing this angle to draw some concessions from India on Siachen. So more likely, McCaine was delivering TSP's mantra on Siachen and to make it palatable to Indians sans MMS (who is on board anway to give up whole of Kashmir to TSP, not just Siachen), he may have masqueraded his urging of concessions from India to TSP on Siachen through some environmental BS.SSridhar wrote: The US senator, who lost the US presidential election to Barack Obama, also met Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.

Guys, I have a tube light moment regarding the recent Panetta statement saying TSPA has links with Haqqani and LeT (as if we don't know that), but relationship with TSP must go on. Many interpreted this as screws turning on, but to me, this is more of a code speak and an opening to TSPA saying if you take on Haqqani, then not only will the relationship go on, but it will become profuse love. It could also be code speak to India saying look, you want us to get tought with TSPA for its links with LeT, but we can't because we need them to fight the mighty Al Queda, and besides, TSPA has links with Haqqani too (our bad guys) and despite that we have a relationship with TSP, and so you must too.
Re: Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan (TSP): Aug 05, 20
IMHO, there is no mystery to McCain's visit to J&K. The US is trying to broker an agreement on Siachen both sides pull back and the line of actual control or existing positions are demarcated and agreed to and verified and monitored by US satellites. The sticking with the Pakis is they have not wanted to agree to the demarcated position at the time of pullback. IIRC, the IA is OK with pullback if the lines are agreed to on a map and signed off by both sides.
