If Army acts like a Political Party Why not a Forward Bloc in it?

I wonder why she is a house wife she needed to be a Militaryman or a politician and that candid expresion for a first attempt is too firy. She should have been a man becuse her thoughts do not speak of house wife yet having the knowledge of gashti PM(touring PM).

re:#36 by faisaluno
This post shows that you and some scums like you will never learn. You do not realise that ISI activities in Bangladesh are ultimately harmful to Pak. You and your ilk may feel happy that ISI is doing its bit to harm India but the fact that these things are coming to light, the fact that evidence is being piled up is something that should alarm every Paki. Obviously, looking at this board and several other boards, few Pakis seem to be alarmed. They have not said they are sorry so many terrorists being apprehended around the world (Kenya, Bali, India etc) are Pakis.This news does not seem to bother them.
India will continue its diplomatic offensive trying to convince US. US is happy with the present dictator of Pak. Fear the day when US walks out of when its job is finished (that might never happen though and Pak may become another US colony). Focus may shift. US seems to have convinced itself that Iraq is of strategic interest and it might do to Iraq what it did to Pak, this time with an invasion (the greatest service that the Ultimate Whore did for Pak, and for which Pakistanis should be eternally greatful to him, was to offer his own A$$ to save his nation`s when US threatened him post 9/11). It may like to capture that nation and sit on its oil wealth. After all Pak has nothing much to offer other than smelly Mushy A$$.
Meanwhile, Putin is in India forging an alliance very similar to the one during 1971. This time, India will take a leap jump when it gets an aircraft carrier and a nuclear sub on lease. This, along with the latest generation of Su-aircrafts will shift military balance for ever in India`s favor. Pak has only one deterrence viz nuclear. Do we know if US does not already have a way of keeping a tab on it but is not revealing it? Of course we do. If US says tomorrow it has Pak`s nuclear program under close scrutiny, it would substantially alter the nature of nuclear deterrence, Pak`s last hope. US is really being a good ally of Pak in keeping this a close secret and being ambiguous about it.

``Democracy can not imposed from above``
Exactly what happened in Pak. Mushy, the Rat calls it ``democratic dictatorship``. Some word!

jay #44 you write ``There are times when I wish I could be a simpleton``
That would be an evolutionary step forward for you.

arjun_m: Jamali and Muslims in general do not realize that by making Friday off weekly, more sins will be committed on Friday - more listening to music, more watching Kafir movies, more drinking, more dating, more pre-marital sex, more masturbation, more cheating in Juma bazars, more crimes (most crimes take place on holidays),...........all of that to make more people offer Friday prayers and to force most conceptions on Fridays.

Welcome to NWFP under MMA. All three orders by the new Chief Minister Akram Durrani were `DO NOTS`. One of them was banning music in buses.
Now if one travels from Torkham to Wagah on GT Road, the music will start after crossing the Attock bridge. There goes little bit of Hindu - kameez tehNdi kaali. Now only sound you are allowed to hear in the buses is noise of bus engines....until that one is also banned and the preferred Islamic traveling model is ordered - bull and camel carts.

Amit 38,

There are times when I wish I could be a simpleton, but there are no schools, no books, no dummies guide to simpleton. Wish you the best.

P.S. There is no misfortune for pakistan, it is not a cyclone or earth quake, it is of their own making. Read the posts by tahmed and temporal on ``little bit of hindu`` board. Here is news for you, 6 pakistanis arrested in kenya for bombing, one pakistani executed in the US, pakistanis attacked the red fort, pakistani is the terror leader in philippines... you call it misfortune.

You talk of self criticism by pakistanis, it is superficial, no substance. Have you seen any of the pakistanis say that muslims should not be killing non-innocent hindus. Ask them who decides innocense. Here is news for you, in 1990 lahore high court declared that honour killing is legal, because it is not different from the idea of jihad, killing the non-innocent.

IMO, you are considering only one aspect of the issue. True that Indian and Pakistani armies have same roots. But at the time of independence and even now there was at least one glaring difference between India and Pakistan. The presence of a considerably large vocal and politically active class in India and the absence of the same in Pakistan. The heavy involvement of the masses, thanks Mahatma Gandhi, in the freedom struggle ensured a politically vigilant public in India which is a precondition for the success of democracy. Democracy can not imposed from above; but is the result of a politically active citizenry. This factor was missing in Pakistan or was weak in its impact since Pakistan never underwent a secular socio-political struggle in which masses were involved. This factor combined with the presence of a good second rung leadership in Congress guaranteed democracy in India.


PS You present the ``diversity`` of India as some sort of weakness of army due to which there is ``democracy`` in India. To summarise, I believe the more important reasons for democracy in India is politically active middle class and Indian ethos. Diversity without unity at its core is bound to self-annihilate.

harimau: One of the event of 1965 war makes an excellent story for a movie. An Indian plane was shot down somwhere over Punjab. The Sikh pilot ejcted and landed safely. The locals treated him very very well and then handed him over to Pakistani authorites. What is so special about? Actually his parachute landed in/ or nearby the village he migrated from as a young boy during 1947 partition.
