All Gulf countries remain fearful of street demonstrations in any shape or form. Protests for Kashmir in Bahrain after Eid prayers led to several arrests.
From Mughal ports to Dutch wars to Bombay’s merchant dynasties, Gujarati Muslims once shaped the Indian Ocean world — long before one of their descendants took New York.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
1. It is indeed amusing to find that Pakistan continues its efforts to internationalize the Kashmir issue. It is a different matter that it won’t succeed, reasons for which are well explained in this news story. 2. India has just to do one thing: expose Pakistan’s funding of terror outfits like LeT, JuD & JeM. 2. Is it not true that even Islamic countries have now realized recognized real face of the Pakistani establishment as regards Kashmir’s autonomy? They know that Pakistan has been in war with India in a way as it has all along funded and protected above terror outfits. 3. In this context let us not overlook a simple but basic fact: not one government in Pakistan, irrespective of party in power, can survive without adopting anti-India position. 4. Incidental observations: (a) Pakistan has been almost compelled to declare Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Masood Azhar and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) founder Hafiz Muhammad Saeed as terrorists. But whether declaring the two heads of terror outfits will result in stern measures against their outfits would be soon clear. (b) The entire democratic world is aware of Pakistani establishment’s active assistance to these two and other terror outfits which operate from its soil or from Pak-occupied Kashmir. (c) I think this latest action against heads of JeM and LeT is just to ensure that member countries of Financial Actions Task Force or FATF would persuade FATF not to blacklist Pakistan. However, Pakistan is neither honest nor sincere in taking stern measures against terror outfits like JuD, LeT, JeM, etc. It has been proved again and again that Pakistan’s Intelligence wing, ISI, provides assistance to terror outfits and this information is now available with all member countries of FATF. (d) From India’s point of view, India has nothing to gain if Pakistan is blacklisted by FATF; but fact of Pakistan’s involvement in, and abatement of, activities of terror groups will just be underscored.
I would really like to appreciate Mr. Hoodhboy the way this article has been put up, it was just and complete in its own sense. People today don’t care about religion, cast, creed until and unless your pocket is full of jackpots, u can straight forwardly see the glow of gold in their greedy eyes
Pervez Hoodbhoy should have advised Pakistan to annex POK as its sovereign territory so that at least it can keep it as its spoils for ‘Kashmir Banega Pakistan’ lest India demands it back and treacherous Kashmiris can do a U turn to India, given that Valley is likely to do well economically in near future. UAE has clearly outlined Ummah position that Kashmir is a bilateral issue between two countries and should be sorted by talks. Pakistan should now understand its standing and act wisely before USA and Russia may find it in their interest to support that Indian border touch Afghanistan through Baltistan and Gilgit.
This will be an alibi to stop China in its CPEC tracks at the source from the northern side.
