Islamization of the institutions in Pakistan has been continuing since the days of Gen Zial Ul Haque. He encouraged it and therefore, the islamists in the Armed foreces beginning to call the shots is not unthinkanble. Pak will have a coalition government of parties who might have a common agenda, but will not put on hold their own agandas. Each party in the government might soon be pursuing multi track policy to brighten its own prospects. An islamized army will always be waiting in the wings, giving he civilian government long enough rope to hang itself as they did in the past so that the army can step in. Success of the non-islamist parties in the election is no guarantee for security of the nukes. Political parties might win or lose, but their ideologies remain alive, and the Islamists after electoral defeat are not to be forgotten or considered toothless. There are too many invisible forces at work in Pakistan, too many extremist organizations and powerful state organization as ISI, which are not under the control of any legitimate, elected body that is transparent in its functions. Opinion of the majority of Pakistanis is not known because they did not vote. The Pak government has never had any control over the happenings in that country except through raw military power or through manipulative politics. Progress from uncontrolled anarchy to civilized polity is going to be over a rocky path in Pakistan. The USA must not proffer aid prematurely.
Evils of human society and their solution

Human society was divided on lines of caste, creed, color and tribes, and consequently was plunged into the valley of conflicts and tribulations. Caste based on birth was propounded by vested interests, guided by the principle of selfish pleasure and geo-socio-economic sentiments with the sole motives to perpetuate economic exploitation over the ignorant mass. Same is the case with racial sentiments. The "purity" and vanity of racial superiority associated with religious dogmas is a glaring case of vested interest psychology.
It is irrational, illogical, conservative and dogmatic to divide humanity on the bases of external differences. This sort of psychology is the product of evil forces. How to get rid of this sort of mentality and establish a universal social order? If right thinking people and well-wishers of the society wanted to form a peaceful world order, the following factors should be integrated:
(1) universal social outlook based on Neo-Humanism
(2) availability and guarantee of minimum requirements of life
(3) common penal code based on cardinal principles of life
(4) a progressive and rational socio-economic theory
(5) social codes of conduct for justice, discipline and social solidarity
(6) logical and scientific views of life and world free from dogmas and superstitions
(7) a spiritual-moralist leadership free from geo or class sentiments
Save the caste system. Stop forcing alien systems on hindus. Hindus have survived for long the onslaught of foreigners. India was progressingly peaceful in past, including religions of various denominations along with casteism. The brahmins, kshatriyas, vaishyas, shudras, chandalas, all knew their places and the work they need to do. Order was maintainted. This is what is required instead of the chaos of today. Accept it or not, the most anti-caste supporter to practice it in day to day affairs.
