[Baghial]

You are absolutely right sir.

We are the people of the indus we embrace our location and our people...

Great Zambezi Nationalism.

More power to the Okavango

 

[fisher1]

Nonsense.

Pakistan is blessed with amazing geography. Pakistan has traitors as leaders.

 

[Mugen]

guess we still have lots of breeding to do with that 2nd flag location haha

We should focus on improving Pakistan to the point that no one wants to leave.

I like this map but Tajikistan and Herat should be included in it. Another thing I want to add is that it won't have an official language such as Urdu or Farsi and will be a confideration of different ethnic groups united by Islam and cultural ties. Each region will have it's own official language, punjabi, Pashto etc. Allama Iqbal and Qaid e Azam won't be the national symbols.

All said and done whose bright idea was it to make our capital just 80 km from the Kashmir border?

Capital is well placed, inside Pakistani territory. We just need to fix the border!

 

[TheGreatMaratha]

After watching the video, it indeed looks bad. Enemies on both border in certainly not the situation you would want to be in and many times it's Pakistan that exacerbates the enmity.

Watch the video before jumping into any heated debate.

That video was awful
The only thing that sucks is his knowledge of the country.

At 04.19, "That's only 83km away from the centre of the Pakistani capital ", he doesn't seem to understand that AJK is right in front, a region steep, full of massive hills and mountainous. Try having a walk without gear on one of the paths and see how quickly your breath leaves you. Roads can barely fit two cars past them and the region is prone to severe weather. Now add in the Pakistani forces who are massed there, give them the advantage of terrain and there's no "punching through", unless their T-90's, 72's etc have jet engines and can fly over.

At 05.22, "the tributaries are somewhat defencible" (reference to river Indus). He didn't even bother to read about the 1965 war where Pakistan used canals, ditches, constructed tank defences, manmade geography as well as natural obstacles to stop the Indian advance in its tracks. Since then miles of defences have been built and Pakistan's armoured forces based there, making the job of "Indian army punching through" a great, great deal harder. By the way he loves the word 'punch' doesn't he?

He had some merit regarding Karachi, but more ports are being built and the navy is powering up to deal with such a scenario.

Pakistan's geography is just fine, it is their calculus that failed

 

[Pakistansdefender]

Normally, when so much is going against a person, he would work extra hard to protect his interest. Here Pakistan is facing so many challenges, only to be made worse by her very own people, lacking discipline or desire to progress. Isn't it about time for Pakistanis to start working harder and smarter?


Quality is what's needed in Pakistan, quantity has not given us anything good.

Working harder as a nation is a foreign concept.
Sadly now even a politician urge the nation to follow this path sucjh as Japanese or other nations do. The media would eat them alive. Its they way we think.
Iran is more religious then us, but women there have more freedom then pakistani women( living in interior of every province) ever have.
People don't know what their problem is.
The problem is quite simple.
Elite capture. And the politicians divert it to civil military conflict or something to gain votes. This is not the case.
We are surrounded by mafias. Certain group of people that have taken control over an industry and want to continue to capture it.
Similarly people prefer buying plots, seeking rent and an easy way m to earn money.
The mafias never met reform happen anywhere. Reforms are needed in power system, we can't do it. Reforms are needed in food supply system we can't do it.
Logically when a commodity is produced in a country, it is avaliable in very cheap rates. Why? Because people would consume it more and more and use other exported items less.
But in pakistan don't get sugar for 20 rupees. You don't get 20kg bag of rice in cheap price.
You are 7th or 8th largest milk producing country and look at the price of milk. The butter is like 150 rupees small pack. What a joke. This is a basic commodity.
Similarly now we have 33000mw electricity.
We have bundle of surplus. Why not they give it cheap? The people in cold areas would use electricity to warm their houses. And the people in warm areas would triple their use of a.c. This means that you sale more electricity by lowering the price and gain more revenue.
But no.
All investments are bad deals.
unable to dig our own reserves.
Everyone sitting down and looking towards government to give them stuff and they themselves do nothing.

Why Pakistan's Geography is great - the other perspective

They'll always remain national symbols for every pakistani future generations too

Well its not that bad actually, Pakistan may be narrow width wise but length wise its very long. In a war with india, they can at most cut Pakistan off by cutting through the width but that would be very hard to maintain, Pakistan can easily regroup in north and south and counterattack from both sides.
Pakistan geography actually becomes gold when Afghanistan and Pakistan become one.
