[Reader-list] "The demise of Pakistan is inevitable"

[Kshmendra Kaul]

Dear Rakesh
 
I still disagree with your contention that "the aam aadmi in Pakistan in general has no concern with this agenda of the extremists.". You have to be informed on the various means of collection of funds in Pakistan with the expressed purpose of "Jihad" stated to shed your belief.
 
The people who contribute such funds in Pakistan are not 'fooled' into doing so. They are very well aware of what they are contributing for. Just as in India those who contribute funds that finance "Hindutva Terrorism" activities. The 'fooled into contributing' route through Temples, Mosques, Madrassas are only a part of the financing network.
 
On both sides of the border the 'elite' are not just the Governments, Militaries and some Journalists, Artists and People-to-People contact NGOs. They strategise themselves. They play games.
 
The 'hates' are embedded in the 'common people'. Anyone interested in Peace, Love and Amity between the two countries will have to tackle that 'embedded hate' and neutralise the source for such indoctrination. 
 
We have veered away from "The demise of Pakistan is inevitable" piece. As I wrote earlier, I do not think that is a valid projection, nor would I want it to be so.
 
Drop a nuclear-bomb? Not even as rhetoric or as a joke would I consider that.

Dear Kshamendra

I wanted to convey that the aam aadmi in Pakistan in general has no concern with this agenda of the extremists. And the section of the people who have been fooled in this are those who have suffered due to the economic, social and political unempowerment of the masses in Pakistan (which is also the issue in India but on a relatively smaller scale). 

As Anupam jee said himself, Bajrang Dal is equally a problem on this side of the border as the Jamaat-ud-Dawa is. Hence, it's time that we solve this problem but keeping in mind that it's the Pakistani army and the Pakistani elites we have to counter, not the common man. Otherwise, the only solution is to drop a nuclear bomb on Pakistan, as Simi Garewal had herself said. How many are willing to consider that?

Regards

Rakesh
