What Munir has achieved with Trump is a return to normal, ironing out the post-Abbottabad crease. The White House picture gives us insight into how Pakistan survives, occasionally thrives and thinks.
I don’t how you let these kind of people push personal opinion.They speak rubbish without know anything. Why the hell should India change when fact is Nepal and Pakistan are troublemakers.
Take a look at the map of India in 1947 and take a look today, you will see who is the cunning, lying, stealing, greedy nation. India should be very careful, all invasions of India came from the West, there is a reason, and it will come again, we will reclaim each and every inch of our rightful ownership of land owed to us, even if it takes a thousand years. Let there be bloodshed, we will not give up our God given right. India should prepare for war too as it is coming. We will take Kashmir and if India pushes back too much, then we may get inside India to teach it a good lesson. You have not fought 50 million Muslim Pashtun and Punjabi soldiers. Trust me, you dont want to. We wiped out the Sikh domination when we got united. Ranjit Singh was finished when we decided.
However now we will make sure Khalistan is a independant, free nation for Sikhs.
We have fought Punjabi and Pashtun Muslims and made them surrendered in thousands in 1971. That humiliation is stil palpable in Pakistan’s military academies.
Pashtun(Afghan) still has a history of fighting but I can’t recall any Punjabi Muslim warrior or king. Sikhs actually kept the Punjabi Muslims and Peshawar, KPK’s Pashtuns under their thumbs for decades before the British came.
Pakistan is a fake country, created in 1947 by an insecure Muslim elite who feared domination by a wealthier and more educated Hindi elite.
Pashtuns are Afghans, Muslim Punjabis(Jatts, Gujjars and Rajputs) are converts, Sindhis(also converts) have never been a nation and Baloch don’t even consider themselves South Asians. You have no rightful claim over anything.
You already lost half your country in such foolish acts and now again trying, well what can we say. you may try but this time it could be balochistan.
Stop smoking weed and go check if you still have Pakistani flag on your parliament because your country is owned by Saudis, Americans and Chinese. First protect your sovereignty then come talk about Kashmir. First learn to administer whatever you have under your control then talk of expansion. Your PM is carrying begging bowl door to door from IMF to Saudis to Chinese to run day to day government. Morons like you prove why your country is in shambles.
There are 1.3 billion people inside india. Trust me the you will be wiped out and suffer enormous casualities and india will still have lots of soldiers to spare. If you want war then prepare for total annihilation and complete destruction of pakistan. We will never spare you.
SAARC is dead. Terrorism exporting nations cannot be part of civilized society. Pakistan terrorism GDP is higher than economic output. That is the reality. What really SAARC can do? A bunch of poor nations begging each other for money and accusing each other of border violations and blaming the British for all the evils. It is because of British they have power, roads, rails, English and even Education. Most of them including this author would be in stone age wearing banana leaf for clothing.. Is that what the PM’s talk when they talk to each other? Get over it. Take care of yourself before helping others. That will be a great service to you and your people.
Modi government’s foreign policies are disastrous. They are spoiling the fragile relations with neighbors exponentially in last 6 years. Mr. Modi’s dumb play is not evaluated by his party as they take him as refined extraordinarily genius. Blame game to old parties and others has been party basis.
It goes beyond maps. Whether India likes it not, it had millions of Muslims in Kashmir who don’t want to live in a Hindutva homeland where they are lynched, raped, beaten, tortured and forced to.
If war comes to South Asia and it is coming expect them to join China, Nepal, Pakistan against India. India will lose.
India has already lost Kashmir, it just has not accepted it, soon we will deliver the final blow.
dont hide behind a fake name pakistani, if war comes to india or south asia it will be catastrophic but expect mass casualities and total annihilation of pakistan if that happens. India will also join the US against china and if pushed to the limit 1.3 billion wont stand aside and let evil conspirators take our land. We will kill invaders and destroy their country, this is period. China has more to lose if they wage a war with india, trust me it wont be even 25% of the power it is now if it wages a war with india.
Equating Nepal and Pakistan is foolhardy, serious doubts over motivation of the author. A lot of Pakistani trolls are tweeting under the fake profiles of Nepalese to fester discontent between Indians and Nepalese, we Indians need to be mindful of that. Even Oli’s party is heading towards distancing from Olu. Don’t worry about Nepal.
As for Pakistan, junk SAARC, deprive Pak of any regional platform.Take initiatives with rest of SAARC members, improve their infrastructure. And yes keep bombing LoC. Pakistan will crumble within a decade if everything fall in place. We’ll have good relations with Sindhudesh, Balochistan,and Pakhutinstan/Afghanistan. Meanwhile Punjabistan will be made to pay war reparations to these countries.
South Asia is the innermost of several concentric circles for India’s foreign policy. SAARC is an institution that allows India to play a natural leadership role, inclined more towards economic cooperation than power play. Given how tense the bilateral relationship with Pakistan has become, both governments could agree that they will not raise these issues in SAARC. 2. Along with BIMSTEC, India should consider joining RCEP and strengthening cooperation between south and south east Asia. 2. China is a growing influence in our neighbourhood, something we cannot prevent. However, each neighbour, barring Pakistan, would be happy to hedge its bets, benefit from economic engagement with Asia’s two major powers. Neighbourhood First is a useful formulation to build upon.
No need for India to mollycoddle it’s dysfunctional neighbors. If they wish to go with China so be it. No amount of Chinese presence can affect India’s standing in the region. More importantly India needs to partner with Japan and the United States to build it’s economy. India needs to focus on itself and let it’s recalcitrant neighbors sort themselves out. No need to play big brother anymore.
Had the author chosen to do some basic research, she would have known the following
– Pakistan is a habitually manipulative and we should learn to ignore every piece of pakistaniyat they do
– Nepal is an internal political problem with the CPN. Things will get better when there will be political change (Remember: Malaysia and Maldives)
India is broadly on cohesive terms and very broad minded with most of our neighbours (nepalis get the right to move and work freely in India). So, we sould not let ourselves believe otherwise
