Funny is not it .............. a listed terrorist state being the front line ally in fight against terrorism.
In my individual limited capacity and wisdom we don't need media to do the campaign (we don't have that influence and means right now), we need to bargain with people sitting some levels up in hierarchy, who have the relevant influence, people whose words are taken as pure truth, whose actions are always justified, even if those actions would have been like bombing Iran for 9/11. Media will follow.
As someone with a brain in an interview appearance said "you cannot expect a state to act against its interests to serve your interests" but Pakistan tried that too and it turned out that we are taken for granted. Now the situation is Pakistan has won back its importance, everything is set it is just the matter of how wisely anyone plays his cards. Hope they don't barter their important role for peanuts this time, they need to think biiiiiiiiigggggg.
Let me put it to you in straight blunt terms, and I speak as a friend of Pakistan the state, not of the deep state, and as a friend of Pakistanis.
You have to sort out your confusion about who is a terrorist and who is a freedom fightier.
From the word 'go', it has been the assumption that we have in south Asia a ruling class, or segment, and a ruled class or segment. It was the assumption that the rulers for a thousand years had a prescriptive right to rule, or at least not be ruled, and democracy and the power of the majority to decide broad issues be hanged. That was the origin of the Muslim version of the Two Nation Theory, without taking anything away from the fact that a Hindu/atheist bigot articulated it on the model of European racism of the worst kind of the time.
From that time onwards, the history of modern south Asia has been an unceasing attempt by the Muslim community to prove that they are at least the equals of another community several times larger, and an attempt by the leading elements of the Hindu community to restore an idyllic and never-existent where they ruled supreme. We can go into a lot of detail on that, but what matters here is the impact that these two attitudes had on war and peace.
The Muslims crystallised their quest for untrammeled existence into a quasi-nation state, a nation state that existed on the basis of a single community, whatever genuflections were made by their enlightened leadership to multilateral co-existence within one state. To their great good fortune, the contradiction between ethnicities within their state was resolved, largely involuntarily, but inevitably, by rebellion; what remains is a much healthier pair of Muslim nations with internally compatible ethnicity. The trouble is that in spite of this outcome, we still see that there is existential confusion between the state and the community.
Not that the Hindus did much better building a progressive, modern, secular nation state on the western model, the only progressive democratic model available for comparison or emulation. Nevertheless, they were initially better off, and will finally, it is to be hoped, continue better off, due to the correcting influence of its minorities, which prevent its majority and the leading elements within that from making complete horses' arses of themselves.
This is the root of the problem: Muslim intransigence and confusion about where the state ends and the community begins. One root; the other warrants a separate discussion.
We can no longer babysit Afghanistan. We need to build the wall and let them fight it.
Now that China is building the economic corridor with Pakistan, we are not going to worry much about India.
Right now Pakistan major problem is not India, it's the corrupt politician. They need to be hanged in public to make an example for their next 10 generations to come.
If only it was that simple.
It is the politicians who will salvage you, and nobody else.
Come back to me arguing about beef when pakistan or any muslim country allows a man to butcher a pig and sell on the streets...better yet! Let me know when a man can sell non halal meat on the streets of a muslim country.
Hey, hey, Dubai does it.
