A 6-yr partition of minds - Misconceptions? Bah humbug!
by Bodh Ramdeo on Aug 16, 2007 02:59 AM

Forget about the crap about burguas? Nyet!
From the very inception of the state of Pakistan, its rulers tried mighty hard to make the case that, being predomoinatly Muslims (98%)they were not Soutn Asians, but Middle-Easterners - Arabs to be more precise, only to be rudely shunned by those nations who had no time for these upstart ex-Indians. Something Pak's rulers still haven't figured out - being an Islamic republic chock-full of fundamentalist Muslims doesn't make one Arab, Iranian or Turk or whatever they've been trying to pass themselves off as - they're still just a bunch of Pakis.
And despite the peurile bilge from both Nayar and Siddiqa, Pakistan's very idea of itself as a nation was based solely on it's hatred of India, for India and towards India, something which was taught from day one to every single one the citizens of that putrid land - hate conditioning from birth. So there!
