Okay, and being a pakistani, on what basis, should the durand line exist. I mean KP is a pashtoon area. What if they tomorrow ask to accede to Afghanistan, would pakistan allow it. The same is for kashmir, i know how this works. Kashmir is a muslim majority area, would India give it, no, its all about might is right and no army is worthy if it pounces on the weak but cant stand to someone its own size.This is all bullcrap, if you wanted kashmir, 62, army would have had it. But that needs courage, not stupid debates on a nationalistic website.
Stick to a single subject, you're all over the place.
[Edit]: this is quite off topic, but since I've been asked, I hope the mods don't mind.
The Durand line is the legal internationally recognized border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. I'm not here to make some bs moral argument, I'm just here to stick with the facts.
You're presenting a scenario about KP that is unrealistic, thus not even worth bringing up.
Kashmir is an internationally recognized disputed land, the Durand line is not. The two are not comparable, not even on a principle basis.
I'm not here to debate you on the merits of Pakistan potentially getting involved in the China-India war in 1962. Why would you even being that up? You're arguing a strawman right now.

I have written about the Durand line quite a lot of times, and how it is essential for the survival of Pakistan as a nation. I'll try and explain why...
Afghanistan is not broken nation, because it was never a united nation to begin with. Through out its history, since even before the time of Ahmed Shah, the land was broken into tribes, fighting each other for anything and everything. Even Ahmed Shah's efforts of uniting the various lands fell short, as he died before his efforts to come to complete fruition.
This is why we've never seen a proper sustainable Afghan national government, and Afghan national army. The country is not united, and the moments that the afghan tribes do temporarily come together, it's only because of a foreign foe that threatens them collectively.
The Durand line is essential, as it divides the stable and united land that is Pakistan, and the Frankensteinian region that is Afghanistan, which keeps falling apart, no matter how much the world tries to stitch it together. The Durand line gives Pakistan a defensive line against any overflow of fighting that occurs in Afghanistan.
So long as the world continues to pretend that Afghanistan can be saved from its tribal divides, and ethnic divisions,to become a united nation (which will never happen), there can never be peace in the region called Afghanistan. I, myself, only call it a country and nation as a formality, nothing more.
The Durand line, which is the a part of the very idea of Pakistan, is the only thing that is keeping Pakistan from falling into the same chaos as Afghanistan.
This is just a short and quick summary of what my basis is. I've left out a number of other issues of why the Durand line is important, such as Afghanistan claiming sovereignty over Pakistani land, or the refugee issue, and so on.
Personally, I believe Afghanistan should be broken across political, geographical and ideological lines, like South Asia was between India and Pakistan. It would lead to long term stability.
