Let us face it--Nobody's death has long-term impact: Be it a Nehru, Indira, Rajiv, Sanjay, Kennedy, Lincoln, Mahatma, Sardar Patel, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Zia-Ul-Haq,and so on.
The show will go on nad has to go on.
There may be some hiccups on the way but nothing has any permanenet interests.
We have to overcome this myth of indispensibility.

tell that to the modern youth in PAKISTAN things have changed and they belive in revenge.its no longer the sit tight and watch situation.the PAKISTANIS are love blood shed and this trend is there to stay
One new dimension of the Pakistan politics that has gone largely unnoticed is the rise of the Mohajirs,the immigrants from Indian heart land. Sidelined and dominated by the Punjabi lobbies and Sindh lobbies of other two big parties Mohajirs were voiceless for long and under unseen subjugation. The rise of Musharaff represents the rise of Mohajirs adding a third pole in Pak politics. Adding military as another power centre. There are 4 power centres now who are all power seeking groups.
With 2 national parties failing to hold the nation together, there is nothing unfair in expecting that a Mojahir can steer Pakistan ahead in these turbulent times.
According to a news report nearly 50 extremist groups are functioning in the soil of Pakistan. If violence and lawlessness continued in the aftermath of Benazir's assassination, India has to be very vigilant and careful on security front. Because, Pakistan being a nuclear power, it could well go in the hands of extremists posing danger to the neighbouring countries.
The article looks more like a extremist kind of view and nothing to do with any reserch or political outlook on global affair. I doubt the credentials . Poor Polictical information and knowlege. looks to me more like an article by the Comparer turned News Acchor statements

Rahul Mishra is correct. If you want to know whether Mr. Verma did any research please read his book Reassessing Pakistan
If you look at Pak's blood stained history since its creation, there had been lot of killings and assasinations. Particular Benzir thrived on terrorism, Kashmir saga started in her tenureship as a prime minister. They used terrorism for politics, in fact Benzir breed terrorist and now she paid for it. You can create terrorist but can not get rid of them when they served their purpose. Militancy is in muslim blood and India had witnessed it since seventh century when when Mahmmud Bin Quasim, a blooming youth of just seventeen send by Khalifa invaded Sindh (then India) and carried the massacre which was unknown to the then Indian subcontinent. They all did it time and again and we know what Changez Khan, Babur, Aurangajeb did to India. Same thing Bhutto started, only the form is changed., What their forefathers did, they are doing it in a modern way, mercenary killing is not only carried out in India but all over world by them, I am repeated call them bcoz terrorists are their creation., One has to pay for what one sowed.

Comparing historical non indian muslim personalities with muslim from indian sub-continent is gross mistake.
In mythology we have vitnessed Ravana, Kansa, Shishupal and then bloody war of Mahabharat by our own hindu Duryodhana.
In history we have seen war of Kalinga by mouryas, Rajputs kings fighting bloody war with each other. Then after end mourays contiuous killing of Buddhist monk by HINDU KINGS and eliminating Buddhism from India. We dont have better history eigther Lond back there were wars between Aryans and Dravidians when Islam was not even born. Sikhs were terririst in punjab for long period . In north east Hindus are terrorist( ASSAM AND Naxal moment) so my own religeon has bloody history so i have no right to connect violence and terrorism to religeon or caste. Recently we have witnessed Gujrat and Orisa violence.

Read history properly.Go to the roots and then you will find as to who was at fault.Only because hindus are in majority,the so called minories are living here safely and enjoying more benefits/rights than the hindus.

Pakistan has to move away from their locus tangent....albeit anti India one point agenda. Loss of a very viable leader having been sniffed out in the bud is a very potent cause of concern for times to come. This is an irreparable loss and needs to be understood by every Pakistani at his juncture. India at this juncture can provide solace and all support to Pakistan in every sphere provided the country comes forthright and clean with its India related agenda. Pakistani citizens have to experience the merits of democracy existing in India and the potential the country has achieved within a very short span of time only on this count. There is no time to waste for Pakistan any more. There is no friend on earth who can really come to Pakistan aid as we share so many things in common including unparalleled hatred. Lets shed this hatred and be progressive. Let us moderates use this forum to forward ideas to shed hatred. What say%u2026..

The Indian democracy? It discriminates citizen and gives benefits on the basis of religion,caste and gender.

Why is it in Pakistan no popular leader is not able to survive. Why is violence so intermingled in Pakistan's politics. Is the army the reason for it,or are they savoring the fruits off having grown up on nothing but hatred for India.
All western and pakistani govt acts in media after this event are nothing but drama, they very well know ahead that this is going to happen. CIA - Ragtag elements of KGB - ISI and Pakistan Army are behind this. Pak Army knows well that once Benazir comes to power she will take all steps to curb Army power, now she will also have support of people and Judiciary. ISIs sole job is to create trouble in India, but Benazir wants to curb that for couple of years and instead concentrate on building Pakistan. It is not that she like India and will leave Kashmir issue for good, she just wants some time off for those activities. ISI will be jobless if that happens. That is why they don't want benazir. As far as ragtag elements of KGB, they are main suppliers of arms to Taliban and with narcotics business folurishing in waziristan and northern afganistan, taliban is full of cash and a great customer of arms. If Benazir comes to power, she will send in US army through pakistan to those areas and might effect that trade. Lastly, it is foolish to think CIA is not aware of these forces, they just want to keep taliban/al-queda alive and use their acts as an excuse for a war on iran, which their financiers in us oil and arms industry desparately want.
