Let me clarify one thing, i am not from FATA.And exactly what would have happened if you had not chosen to continue with British enforced FCR and asked the state to take over back at the times of independence ? Would this have happened by any chance ? The army would have moved in and took the security of the belt , the courts would have functioned , the police and the law enforcement agencies would have been there , the political parties would have been there with the voice of the people and the tribals would have had proper representation in the parliament of Pakistan , there wouldn't have been that much illiteracy and backwardness to fuel this extremism and militant problem you face today . You want to debate it in detail , lets get to the root cause of the problem back in history then . The majority of the problems of the tribes is due to the same " leave us alone " policy continued for a long time now .
let me stress on the point again, tribals didnt ask British to impose FCR on them......it was ikhlaqi zimadari of British successor i.e Pakistan to abolish FCR in tribal areas while at the same time let FATA be an autonomous region........No tribal has ever condone condone FCR and has always demanded political reforms in FATA, which PPP government fulfilled it.....The turn out in FATA in this election was 36 % despite being a warzone while 42% in KPK....what does it indicate? people of FATA want to be part of political process of pakistan, they have even demanded their own province qabailistan.... They have to come to KPK for education and jobs.....it is propaganda against them that they dont want education, progress and development.....
Afghan jihad took place due to russian invasion...........and FATA was chosen as refuge and training ground for mujahideens by ISI......ISI extended help only to islamist factions in Afghanistan........Then they fully supported taliban during civil war......then musharf back-stabbed same talibans.......then he started military operation in FATA in 2004 on American orders for dollars...........TTP never existed before 2004 and before lal masjid operation.Maybe you saw the advantage there , but what I see here is the enforcement of the same " bad habit " that will get some pat on the back because it succeeded , with nobody to ponder over why did it happen in the first place and why ? Why the so called Afghan Jihad took place and why the militants chose the F.A.T.A . as their next safe haven ? The Gun are not your jewellery , they are merely deadly weapons which are being used to make things even , they aren't toys to be handed over to a growing child , they are things to be possessed and controlled by the state .
So , Talibans aren't a significant problem in the tribal region , right ? Because of your " zewar " ? Is it so ?
Dont be a dumbass, lakki marwat and dir are not in FATA.......
Operation rahe e raast was carried out with 60 thousand troops, air force and what not ,as if they are in war with india....just on a district.....the details of collateral damages are horrible.....swat is nowadays peaceful because of nature of its people, they were never hostile , not to taliban nor to army.......if you are weak , you will be crushed and humiliated by any one.........it is noteworthy that ancestors of yousafzais of swat destroyed mughal armies of akbar one after another when they tried to subdued them....in 19th century same yousafzais rejected taliban-like rule of syed ahmed bareilvi....kept sikhs away from their territories....in 1897 they revolted against british........but now what has happened to them?....iqbal has rightly siad, "hey jurm e zaifi ki saza marg e mafajat"I wouldn't term the peaceful and non aggressive nature of the people of Swat as cowardly , the army moved in and beat the crap out of militants to the extent that they are rarely even mentioned in the valley and merely a thing of the past . Can I say the same thing about the tribal belt with the presence of " weapons en masse " which you portray as the solution to all your problems ?
