Start Pakistani atrocities
On my way to work today and passing by the convention center in Islamabad, I saw a huge banner saying "stop the Indian atrocities in kashmir". Obviously, once we have achieved this covetted goal - we will start
Pakistani atrocities in Kashmir. I mean what else can we do? Our history supports this hypothesis.
In 1947, we put to an end the British ’atrocities’ in what now forms Pakistan. ever since, history of this piece of sh&% (read LAND - another four letter word) is the story of Pakistani ’Atrocities’.
A question that we need to ask as a nation is - what exactly it is that we have a problem with i.e., is it Indian, Atrocities or Kashmir or all three of them. Isn’t it possible that what ’seems’ like the smoking gun has nothing to do with our current state of affairs?
The cost of Kashmir has been unreasonable and unreasonably high. It has been addiction of this nation. And in line with what addicts do, we have stolen resources from our children and shoved them up the Kashmir cause. Again consistent to this analogy, with time, the need for funds and hence stealing is on the rise and capacity to earn is on the fall.
Sooner or later, the addict will need unpleasant help - if it is to survive.
But the analogy ends here. We as humans have the capacity to question and think. Here is what we may like to ask.
10. Is Kashmir really an issue?
9. We have been fed crap in the name of history - on about every matter. Isn’t it possible that we have been fed the same crap (in the name of facts) on Kashmir issue.
8. What is ’reasonable’ in terms of material and emotional expenditures on this issue?
7. Has the path we have taken - in terms of Kashmir - a sustainable one?
6. Is Kashmir the only reason we need an army?
5. Is it possible than that ’Army’ is fueling this issue?
4. Do you think army and politics will allow a solution of this issue?
3. When will this insanity stop?
2. (Repeat) Is it possible than that ’Army’ is fueling this issue?
1. We have been pursuing plebiscite. would Kashmiris want to join the ’Pakistan’ we have today?
Lets stop Indian atrocities in kashmir. Lets stop Pakistani atrocities in Pakistan. Lets put an end to all atrocities - without being selective.
