I couldn't follow a thread for 8 pages on another speculation about India buying fighter plane x
for the love of me so I skipped most, sorry for that lack of graciousness, but ...
it did allow me to witness a magical moment as the first two pages went on with recurring suggestions
of a partnership between India and Pakistan. Understanding this possibility to only exist if relative peace
is established, I must admire and thank

and the rest for their restraint from interfering.
This moment points out a psychosocial truth of importance : it is much more difficult because more involving
to solve disputes and conflicts with people close to oneself ( and yet worst within self / jihad al nafs ).
You forgive a co-worker for a small offence easily because he "stays at the office" as furniture does whereas
forgiving your wife or buddy for lousy behaviour gets old and arduous after years and thousands of incidents.
Hopefully, you have love for them over indifference for the guy in the next cubicle to help fuel the process.
It so happens that Pakistan and India are closer than they appear and maybe closer than they are apart even!
I mean that without knowing your viewpoint about the Indus civilization being the nascent beacon of Middle Asia
and Indians of yore mere turtle and snake worshipping swamp dwellers versus Bharat acquiring knowledge from
star travellers and Pakistanis refusing it to linger on the natural road of human development until Islam came,
I can say safely that whatever the variant, it is a common history I hear whose interpenetrating implications were
severed abnormally by the latest invader upon partition. You guys are old neighbours which shouldn't be forgotten
in any case.
Speaking of which, I come from a land that patched things up with an old neighbour from hell recently.
With some common stock but separated by centuries, one nation caused the resurgence of the other ( Napoleon )
to then witness 150 years of growing conflicts culminating in worldwide horror twice with the last tainted in infamy.
And yet, carried by ideas of pan-Europeanism, in 5 short years between 1958 and 1963, France and Germany
thanks to good men *** became friends and stuck to it since, building block of the EU as they remain today.
Why not here? Think of the money saved if both could refocus troops waiting for the next Kargil incident/war!
Pakistan can certainly use its troops for insurgency fighting; India can save its jets for Chinese J-xxx swarms
swooping over Himalaya. Both can divert some sums to infrastructure, health and education advantageously.
And mind you, over the cries of trolling, part of the bridging required to get there is happening here on PDF : -it
just did!!! which is a testimony to the forum's worth. So far fetched? Maybe but still worth it IMHoO.
Again, thanks for the unicorn and rainbow moment guys! It cheered me up so much I may not slap that annoying co-worker today.
Fingers crossed things did not morph into a cesspool in pp. 3-8 and great day all, Tay.

... Besides, as good men although more benign can rise to
... greatness when circumstances call for it. I favour the latter.
