What is the way ahead for Pakistan ? My point of view. Feel free to reply. And you may ask why an Indian concerned about it ? Cause he is arrogant ? Troll ? Anti islamist ?
pipe down non of the above . Because India may be so big and prosperous . May be with largest population of yuva shakthi of the world . May be with her ever growing economy and muscle power. What I feel is without finding a peace between Pakistan and India she will not be completely free to touch a new height. So its very important to sort our things as soon as possible. In yhe interest of both the nations. So don't expect any invasion of Pakistan from Indian side. Atleast for the next 100 years. Let's have this status quo remained. And let's move on.
Ok so how to start with ?
First of all Stable Pakistan should be put in place so meaningful dialogue can take place. Am not saying there should be a military rule or civilian government rule. All am saying is any one of the above. You can't have both meddling into external affairs of a country . Isn't it ? Any Where it's not gonna work. So this would be a good first step forward.
Then comes our important concerns. Terrorism from Pakistan soil or I may say decently these Proxies Must be stopped. It's not just derailing our relationship but it puts Pakistan in a bad light among others nations . Isn't it ? How many of you wanted to be seen as failed state or terrorist state ? Instead of going to US if progress wr been made to strengthen our relationship . By now Pakistan and India would be at par . Atleast to each others full capacity .
Pakistanis don't need to a sentimental to be a Pakistani. Long term process should be on how you identify Pakistan and urself . The world has very different view and very bad view on Pakistan am sure any Pakistanis won't like that . Instead of inventing the future Pakistanis are keep inventing the past . In a long run this is going to back fire on non other than yourself
And another important propaganda by establishment of Pakistan is that Pakistan is incomplete without kashmir . But in good sense we must think if you can survive for 67 years without Kashmir then you can well move on without kashmir. Which in turn brings prosperity .
Another Point is punjabis in Pakistan as created this imaginary boundaries which always said India is our enemy US is always waiting to nuke us and Islam is what keep Pakistan together. Since they controls major decision making of the country . Now what happens is all other policies are charted out around this little and imaginary circle . So its not going to yield anything but keep the war mongering going with less attentions given to civilians problems.
Take US Canada for example . They both came to an conclusion that they can't compete with each other so no competition needed. But thrive together for betterment of its people. Simple as that. History teaches us lots of things for the future. Even the German and France been in war between each other for nearly some 4 centuries . But later they have found a solution like OK! We can have mutual understanding and let our people cross our borders peacefully for trade and other purposes .With mutual respect.
Because when looking at India and it's tremendous ability to bounce back this country has popped up even from a worst invasions for nearly 1000 years . Look today where India share the stage with ! With great powers like Russia US UK etc . It's sphere of influence is growing again. So its literally no way anyone can destroy this very will of its people.we are great survivors on this planet. So only god knows how old.
So I strongly belive that Pakistanis don't need to be emotional about being surpassed by India. Not in a 1000 years even in a million years Pakistan can become bigger than India in any aspect. What ever you may do. It highly recommended and wise to think for what you can and what you want !
This could be the way forward for Pakistan . And by the way India as well. Which can thrive to even better heights and so helping it's neighbours to overcome economic challenges.
Conclusion : Pakistan need to introspect it's present and future requirements of its country of its people . Must get away from small thoughts like how to stop India and harm its people. And then chart out a plan to overcome the rivals.War can be won on economic situation also. Without any credible base one can't stand . And without any internal harmony one cannot have a credible base.
