The latest hot issue discussed in the media is the issue of severing not only Cricketing ties with Pakistan but also all other sporting ties because Pakistan is playing havoc with India especially in Kashmir by helping the secessionists and terrorists.
Firstly, for the Indian Cricketing administrators it is impossible to stop the match between India and Pakistan because millions of rupees are at stake besides their commissions, Meantime, the cricket match was already played yesterday and India defeated Pakistan easily. Secondly, India cannot tame Pakistan anymore because Pakistan is powerful now since it is a nuclear power and moreover it is strongly backed by China, the arch rival of India. Pakistan was established to counter the “Dadagiri” of Hindus whom Pakistani Muslims consider as their worst enemies.
Poet Iqbal initiated the idea for the formation of Pakistan as a separate homeland for Muslims from the subcontinent and Jinnah implemented it. During my so many years of stay in Kuwait, the way I integrated with Pakistanis, I don’t think any Goan did and hence I learnt a lot from them. Some of the highly intellectual Pakistani Muslims admitted that Pakistan went for nuclear only to destroy Hindu India. Similarly, Zulficar Ali Bhutto in his masterpiece “If I am assassiated’, wrote, “we will if necessary eat grass but will go for nuclear”.
The Pakistanis said they cannot forget the atrocities the Hindus and Sikhs have committed against them especially on their women during the partition time. The climax of their anger culminates into inferno when they think of dismembering of East Pakistan by India. Some Pakistanis even confessed that Pakistan will never allow India to live in peace and for this reason Pakistan is creating problems all over India. Pakistan is a rogue nation ready to face any eventuality but India cannot as it is a too decent nation.
The complex situation of Kashmir made more complex by Pakistan by letting lose its proxy war on India will never have peace unless India takes a bold step with the help of UN and give more autonomy to Kashmiris fighting for their freedom in the name of religion, such religious wars do not end easily unless final results are achieved.
India cannot rely on Pakistan for any peaceful settlement because Pakistan is hell bent to defy India. Even the Indian citizen now on death row waiting for the gallows will surely face the death however much innocent he may be. The Cruel Pakistani judicial system did not even spare its own premier Zulficar Ali Bhutto from the gallows. There is no compassion in Muslim Pakistan when Islam preaches COMPASSION.
