Pakistan’s India obsession

[PoKeMon]

Common man doesnt give a crap whats going on in India... Do you think i care about india when i go buy something?

Yes you do. You first google if the same thing is used by indians and if they do, you dont buy it rather buy just opposite of it.

There is nothing wrong in being obsessed with your arch enemy,especially not when both the countries are facing numerous perennial complications since Their Independence. India,due to its enormous size and vastly diversified population has been facing severe problems when flaws of democracy forced it to accept to put hindrances on infinite number of social and infrastructural projects.Fortunately,Pakistan did not have to face the severity of this problem although being a multi ethnic country.

On the other hand,Pakistan could easily have adopted projects like the five years planning in India and execute it into a much more effective manner when it was in close affinities with world's leading power blocks. India has done much better in terms of power infrastructure and an effective public transport and logistics system than Pakistan. It's unfortunate that Pakistanis could not utilize the obsession with it's arch enemy to build up a similar system at least not better than that with the help of the Chinese at least. More importantly India's economic boom was a splendid result of the useful utilization of it's English speaking youths in the 2000 helping its economy to a large extent.

If you have used a the word "obsession" in a different way,Pakistan's economy and Infrastructural issues would have much more less severe than it is now.

The time has come for Pakistan to look anew.Pakistan should seek to build a strategic relationship not only with US and China but also with several other countries,in particular India and Japan and Indonesia and South Korea.By building strategic relationships with all powers that matter-this will improve substantively Pakistan's unity,security,peace and prosperity.Look east-these change will bring pride to Pakistanis in particular and South Asians in general.Everything is moving east.

India did try to starve Pakistan out of water in 48.

That is unadulterated horse manure.

Below is the speech of Mrs Pandit, representative of India, at the UN, on the same issue:

Mr. Zafarulla Khan has once again raised the question of canal waters. What are the facts? There were sixteen canal systems in the undivided Punjab; after partition, as many as twelve belong to Pakistan and only three to India, while the remaining one is divided between the two countries. Eleven million acres of the Pakistan side are canal irrigated as against only 3 million on the Indian side. West Punjab is a highly developed surplus food area while East Punjab is dry and parched and liable to famine. In December 1947, a standstill agreement for the continuance of the supply of water to Pakistan canals was signed by the Chief Engineers of East and West Punjab, which was to continue until 31st March 1948. But despite reminders, the Pakistan authorities took no steps whatsoever to enter into a fresh agreement. In consequence, with the termination of the agreement, through no fault of the Indian irrigation authorities, the supply of water to the Pakistan canals became automatically terminated. As soon as this became known, the Prime Minister of India intervened and a fresh agreement was executed and the supply of water resumed on 4th May 1948. The water resources of the entire Indus basin were developed as a single unit prior to the partition. Since the partition of India the position is that out of the 45% of the waters of the basin which are utilized for irrigation purposes, Pakistan received 40% while India received 5%. The rest of the waters of the basin, that is about 55%, flows into the sea. To avoid the wastage and to utilize more of the water supply, talks are in progress to see if some arrangement can be worked out to the mutual benefit of both countries and the millions of agriculturists by a greater utilization of the waters of the Indus and its tributaries.

Since the dawn of your existence you people have been trying to cover up your incompetence by blaming India. That so called stopping of flow of water, apparently to starve Pakistan, is one such example.

So yes, the entirety of your obsession with India is founded on thin air.
