No but it actually ties in to JoeS' question.
I'm French ( and something else from West too ) alright!
Except that there are reasons that have me like Pakistan a lot.
First, the burden of its birth due to Albion's shenanigans.
Second, the person that was M. A. Jinnah, a fave of mine.
Third, the difficulty of balancing acts Pakistan has to play :
secular vs Islamic republic, pesky neighbours N.W. & S.E.,
West and East influences, etc.
For example, in the insurgency situation, this Islamic nation
has to fight extremists of its own faith while keeping faith in
itself which is perilous at best.
You are a unique part of Ummah even without the nukes!
Fourth and this only concerns Internet but it will get me lotsa
trouble, I tried Indian fora including the one we cannot name
and honestly, they were pretty pathetic and unworkable.
All in the nerves and wishful thinking, as if discussing with a
neurotic western woman lost between her rights, perception
thereof and inability to reason with logic if battle of sexes is
involved ( battle of dreams for Bharatis, I guess, vs reality )
which I try to avoid IRL TBH.
PDF is an oasis of self-control by comparison and the good
Indians ready for honest talks have to come here since the
use of logic over temper tantrums is forbidden at home.
And I was always well treated here by the forum management.
All in all, I always had a penchant for unjustly treated minorities
and Pakistan fits that image in my mind ... especially when you
listen to political convos in the US Congress.
And on the emotional front, the northern provinces GB-KP etc
remind me of a place I grew up in especially in Autumn!
There is a lot to be fixed as anywhere else on Earth but you
people are doing it by yourselves which I respect immensely.
So mark me as a fan, hence the flag
( as my residence status is complicated ).
When I come here on PDF, I root for Pakistan, it's that simple!
Have the best of days, Tay.
