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.

Good analysis. You have mentioned in one of your points that Pakistan was created for educated Muslims. We are all witness to what the educated Muslims have dont for the last 60 years. Nothing but hatred and terrorism. Thank god that educated Muslims went to Pakistan and did not stay back in India.

It is unnatural for Pakistan to opt for any other ethnicity such as the Turk,the Afghan, the Iraqi Arab or the Irani Muslim or the Kurd or the Armenian. It is quite silly if they decide to cast their lot with these ethnic groups. Like the proverbial fox who fell into a vat of indigo dye and thought himself the King of the beasts, it would be foolish for the Pakistani to claim any other ethicity other than the sub-continent simply because the Persian, Arabs and Mongols and Afghans invaded India and ruled over it. The earlier they discard this mindset the better it for their own economy.It was one thing for the British to partition this country and quite another to continue based on the some lines as if it were something natural. The two nation theory on which Pakistan is premised is unnatural. It is far easier for the elite Muslims to succeed in the Indian economy as the example of Mr Hashim Premji illustrates so vividly.
What you say is correct. However, Islamist Fundoos (they are called Fundoo in Pakistan!) have a different way of seeing things.
Its indeed correct, that a fundamentalist section of Pakis are trying to further Arabize Urdu which though is written in Perso-Arabic script, its 70-80% words are still of Sanskritic Origin.
Basic Goal is to deny/erase Pre-Islamic past of their existance. Recently MMA, religious paries in Paki land opposed teaching Pre-Islamic history in Pakistan.
Our Secularists are directly courting them when they also oppose anything prior to pre-Islamic India. Our Secular fundamentalists term those as "Communal".
This is NOT what even Nehru said. In a speech before Aligarh Students few months after partition he said: Indian achieved many great things in the past and that belongs to ALL of Indians. COME FORWARD AND PROCLAIM IT.
Fact of the matter is: Indian Secular Fundoos are blissfully unaware of the Islamism and its root, direction, Goal.

Pre-Islamic History of Bangladesh is now almost erased from Bangladesh Schools/College Syllabus.
