The recent earthquake has some serious lessons for us both in Pak and India. Recently Dileep Padgaonkar reviewed a book by Altaz Ahsan tracing the common origins of India and Pakistan. This earthquake has proved his muted thesis, with a stark reminder of a common geological features beneath our mother earth.
But all this sounds nothing to the military brass in Pakistan. They are shedding crocodile tears over the loss of a generation. But hypocrites they are, they had denied India's offer to rush aid and doctors and nurses. If they had, our IAF would have flown several sorties with relief material by Saturday noon saving several thousand lives and property.
Even after many more catastropohies in future the mullahs and miliatary of Pakistan will not see reason for the betterment of its own peoples.
