Pakistan is a South Asian country and western neighbour of India. It was created in 1947 after being partitioned from India during independence. Founded as a Muslim-majority state, its early years were shaped by leaders like Muhammad Ali Jinnah, its founding father and first Governor-General, and Liaquat Ali Khan, its first Prime Minister.
The country has experienced periods of military rule, political instability, and economic challenges. Currently, Pakistan faces severe economic stress, marked by high inflation and external debt.
With India, although it shares a common past, and the water of the Indus and tributaries, it shares strained relations over longstanding border disputes. Pakistan has fought three wars with India, with border tensions persisting over Kashmir and historical grievances, including the creation of Bangladesh in 1971, further straining relations.
Forgot the footnote (designated by “***”) — that term was formed in 2010 by Brigitte Gabriel (Maronite from Marjayoun, Lebanese village about 12 km north of Israel border) founder of ActForAmerica, due to the high-volume (exceeded that of US, UK, Australia, Canada and India COMBINED) of searches originating in that country for pornographic materials (as well as the PRODUCTION of such by Taliban based there — which 0bl was killed editing in 2011).
Just how hard is it for Pakistan to “try” a new “India-policy” for, say, just a decade? Will it be to much for Pakistan to give up hostilities and embrace cooperation? What if it really changes the fortunes of Pakistan?
Just some possibilities, some foods for thought.
“Just how hard is it for Pakistan to `try` a new `India-policy`…” — answering only this portion (without the time-specific test), that would require a change in its educational (read “indoctrination” — the anti-India spews in Pornistani*** schools has been well-documented by BBC and MEMRI) system, and indeed the entire mindset; it amounts to a “subtle” admission that the country was founded on the worst-of-worst taqia, the “islam is in danger” canard!
