Pakistan was created out of hatred for India and philosophy of peaceful coexistence it had stood for, in many millenniums. The insecurities of threat to rigid Islam in a progressive India with roots firmly in ethos and culture of thousands of years , was root cause for propagating and achieving through deceit the idea of theological Islamic Country out of India by Jinnah and his group of feudals, who had additionally fear of losing their ruling positions in New democratic
Nation
A country born out of hatred, anger, fear and Fundamentalism is bound to be guided by these considerations only for its governance and existence. It is perceived notion in Pakistan ruling class that Peace in the region will be threat to idea of its very existence as it was created out of negation of peace and peaceful coexistence. Violence gives it reason to justify its existence, Peace will prove that the reason to create Pakistan was faulty and in peaceful Indian sub continent it will natural for people of Pakistan to compare their financial and economical growth , progress in various sector like education, technology, medicine, industry, tourism, space and and many more, with Imdia and suddenly rulers in Pakistan will find themselves in very uncomfortable position to answer. Demand will naturally come of reuniting with India to be part of Progress and Development instead of living in society of deprivation, violence and exploitation.
It is this hatred for India which guides Pakistan to decide its political and military decision making . Many times it has been openly claimed by Pakistan top leaders that hate for India runs in their blood. While India moved fast on path of peace, progress and prosperity, our neighborhood was seeking more weapons of destruction, selling to world the imaginary threat for regional military instability. Unlike Pakistan India shares its border with many countries and importantly with China , historically unreliable neighbour which is guided by deceit and policy of expansionism, which greed has made it occupy territories of almost all its neighboring countries , including India post 1962 war . The tactical relationship Pakistan developed with China, like many other things , is also guided by its hatred for India .
Pakistan has dragged India also in arms race , who has to go for spending precious public funds for weapon procurement in large number instead of having opportunity to spend them for public goods . Because of good financial health India is in a position to afford it also to large extent but what about Pakistan. It has drained its economy and there is no future for its people .
Today Pakistan is forced to sell its resources to China even to the extent of compromising its territorial sovereignty by allowing China excess to its length and breadth. Its facing serious threat to its very existence from within . It is perceived not only threat to regional peace but also Global peace . It has proved itself a dying state , ready to explode at anytime . Balochistan and Sindh is ready to break free . POJK doesn’t want to remain with it , rather people there are eager to join India given a choice. Tribal areas don’t accept authority of govt . Where has Pakistan taken itself for keeping alive hatred for India . The earlier Pakistan understands that peace in region is key to its survival, a meaningful one and it will pave the way for sustained and good relations with India which has so much to give and share with it . In sustained peace we believe but historically India has learnt albeit in a hard way that to sustain peace one has to be ready to pay price . Pakistan by its conduct has to win confidence of India for future good relations in its own interest . First step will be to stop interfering in Kashmir by withdrawing all support, tactical or financial or military to separatism and militancy in Jammu Kashmir and else where . The realization that hatred can’t lead to peace has to strike Pakistan, whether softly or as a hard slap, to ensure peace .
