IMO Pakistan has a future. A rather bright one, PROVIDED it is willing to change from the way it is going currently.
It has a good future provided it takes drastic steps to do the following:
1- Change its victim mentality. To the liberals, it will give a reason to whine while to the radicals, it will give a reason to Talibanize.
2- Change its governmental structure. Parliamentary democracy is a failure in entire South Asia including my country. This form of governance has no accountability and instead of one tyrant, there are 500 of them calling the shot and looting the country day and night.
3- See beyond the historical baggage it carries. Whether it is Khiljis or the Mughals or what not, Pakistan hasn't come out of glorifying Turkics and Iranian invaders, none of which have been theirs to call whether by religion or otherwise. The mentality has to change from those days to what lies ahead. Respecting the past is good but living in it, is going to do more damage than good.
4- Prioritize its education: It is appalling to see the level of nonsense that is taught in history books of Pakistan against non-Muslims. That has to change. While history is a very murky subject, it certainly doesn't have to be politically motivated. In my country also, history is polluted by Nehruvian nonsense of suicidal proportions.
Get more into science and technology, aim for a Manufacturing economy rather than a service oriented economy.
ANY world power if you see, never was a service economy. My country India too is a victim of this. All superpowers have to be able to manufacture, technologically peak and produce enough resources and finished goods to shut people's mouths up.
5- Look towards a new future with India. There's no use of this bickering as it would only put you in a dire situation. Fighting will get you no result.
We don't want your country but just manage our own well.
It would be better if you adopt the same policy.
While your civilization and ours can never be good friends, but we don't have to hate each other.
Japan and China also hate each other but are they blowing each other up? NO.
That's the way to go.
