Real problem of Pakistan are manifold
by Bhaskar Chattopadhyay on Feb 25, 2007 09:50 PM

1. Pakistan's real problem is, it believes that Muslims are Superior to Hindus. And that's why they(Muslims) could rule India for many many centuries. This is Islamic nationalism which was born in Aligarh Muslim University during 1920s-1940s. They also believe, Britian should have given India back to the Muslim hand when they left India in 1947, as British took India from Mughals.

These are bizzare history, because muslims were hardly in control in whole of India for long. However the MYTH continues.

2. This can be called "Andulous Syndrome", when a group of people start believing in past glory and starting living on that. Little realizing the time has changed.

3. The real reason for this Hindu-Muslim problem is, Muslims didn't accept modern education (like Hindus) and thus left behind in the new economy. The more they started loosing their share in Brit India, the more they raised their voice for special rights, job reservation etc etc.

Pakistan was basically created so Educated muslims don't have to compete with Hindus in Job. So, it was an economic issue, which was given a religious color.

4. Pakistan is in deep problem today. It has to decide whether it belongs to Indian Sub-continent and its cultural sphere. After all, Indian Muslims are mostly Hindu converts and Islam has a 1000 years history in India.

As Pak is unable to engage with India, which is much large size (economy, demography, size) India, its using Oil Money from Midle East. In the process, its loosing its Indian Islamic root and becoming more radicalised, more Wahabi, more Deobondi fundamentalists.

5. Till the time Pakis have made that decision, whether they belong to Indian Subcontinent or Arab World - guess they will continue to spawn more islamic facism, terrorism. Its a brutal cultural re-orientation going on. 1000 years of historic, cultural legacy is being undone.
