Your post above.
The absurdity and ludicrosity is similar to the Pakistani stand on Kashmir till date. I am glad your sensibilities got assaulted on the perspective as elaborated earlier. The feeling you have, is what I, as an Indian, have over the stand of the Pakistani establishment till date.
At the outset, I want to state that the ridiculous behavior of politicians on either side, in no part aided and perhaps 'egged on' by the jingoism and inappropriate sense of obligations towards exhibition of 'patriotism' by an ignorant population, has resulted in the issue becoming a restive issue over the past 25 years.
When I tagged you last night, it was to merely to point out that what I had been saying, is today the line being taken by GoI. That, as you will agree, is bound to set off another cycle of violence which will self propagate over the next few years with potentially disastrous consequences.
The cancer analogy, taking a cue from your earlier post, is the effect of the duplicitous stand of GoP and PA in differentiating between the good and bad militant (Taliban - a non state actor).
If you read the pathogenesis of any cancer, it is simply the inability of a mix of pro-apoptosis factors and Gene regulators of cell cycle to act. An example can be of p53, which acts as a regulator, preventing a wrongly coded cell from multiplying there by acting as an inhibitor of detrimental abnormal (cancer) cell or a failure of activity of Telomerase whose absence causes progeria (seen in Amitabh Bachchan's Pa) or increased activity - cancer. Similarly, the policy of sustaining and enabling armed militant groups to meet supposed interests in Afghanistan and Kashmir, are indeed similarly decimating the societal structure as prevalent in your country. The effects, are there for you to see. It is merely a question of an equally stupid policy being adopted by India, with the advantage of not having to train the cadre on its own soil, for the level of violence to be increased exponentially in Pakistan.
Hence, my point of view as above.
That you find my analogy of Baluchistan and J&K as BS, is something that is also indicative of a nationalistic streak at your end, something which is understandable and indeed desirable.
However, when you talk of logic, it shall be logic.
May I ask a few questions of you, since at present my own stupidities of personal nature preclude me from entering into a substantial and exhaustive discourse with an apparent erudite personality like youself without spending considerable time in responding?
The questions are as under mentioned:
1. The formation of Dominions of India & Pakistan are governed by Indian Independence Act of 1947. The accession of the Princely States is specified by Para 3 sub-clause (a). Do you accept the validity of the act and the provisions it contains as being a legal basis wherein the Dominions are legalized as Nation States?
2. What, as per you, constituted a Sovereign authority in a Princely State in the period preceding August 1947.
3. If, as per you, the British recognized the Maharaja of J&K as the sovereign for the state, then under what clause or act of the aforementioned act as mentioned in 1. above was the Maharaja NOT the legal sovereign of the State?
4. If, as per you, the Maharaja was not a legal sovereign, then under which clause was any other ruler of any other state a legal sovereign?
5. Why, in your opinion, was a standstill agreement signed by Pakistan when India did not, with Maharaja of Kashmir, if he was not a legal sovereign if you contend to it?
6. Assuming you consider the aforementioned Maharaja as the legal sovereign, then was it not a fact that as of 15 August 1947 Jammu and Kashmir was an independent State in addition to the two Dominions formed, the sovereign of which was the said Maharaja, and being a legal nation, it was an independent state which derived it's legitimacy from the very Act wherein Pakistan derived it's own legitimacy?
For now, I will be grateful if you could give precise and concise answers to the aforementioned questions, any relevant information which you may wish to include, may be highlighted devoid of the streaks of nationalism, patriotism and religious/ethnic fidelity, if any, you may suffer from.
I confess, my professional base tends to make me guilty of the first two and atheism potentiates a distaste and abhorrence for the latter.
I like the fact that you have asked me to be logical. Let's be that. I must, however, seek your indulgence in my irregular responses till 30 September. I prefer to troll newbies now, as a means of break from my other task.
Thanks
And for your meme, your spidey's really sick now
