Humans have taken many thousand years in moving from stone-sage to this information era. Many changes, but one thing remains in tact – might is right!
17th and 18th centuries saw colonization of many countries by Europeans but failing to find ways for equitable redistribution of wealth between and in those colonist countries, Europe fought with itself two great wars of human history – WW-I and II.v While at the end of WW-II Europeans were getting defeated by themselves at world stage, new World Leadership emerged – USA who continues on British statecraft technology of ‘Divide-and-Rule’.
World Map was re-arranged by creating new countries by tearing apart large countries/empires; two are most important countries with geo-strategic location and with basis in religious orientation but none of these are governed in religious principals: Israel and Pakistan.
Both are client states of the mighty USA, though former with European background of her majority population keeps a sort of independent outlook for herself.
Pakistan, however, with her institutions with basis oriented safeguarding the best interests of her erstwhile colonial masters remains in full control of USA who engineers change of governments in Pakistan at will.
Current Results:
1. Kashmir Issue has been kept alive so as to make India and Pakistan at loggerhead so that both should buy arms from the USA and EUCs;
2. Pakistan helped the west in early disintegration of USSR – no iron curtain now;
3. Conditions are created in Pakistan so as to coerce it in helping USA in getting strong foothold in Eurasia through Central Asia.
Future Results:
Once the USA is in full command of Eurasia whereby it will have full control of world’s resources for quite sometime and continue amassing most of the world’s wealth for herself, allowing a little for Europe and almost nothing for Asia reducing majority world population to abject poverty being a large consumer marker of American and European goods and white-collar services?
Some danger points:
1- Risk of war between China and USA;
2- Nuclear war between Pakistan and India.
Recent experience shows that wars and destruct ions in Iraq and Afghanistan have not contributed in making life happier in USA and Europe and WoT has resulted in more agonies everywhere – Glasgow is the most recent example.
A real peace and sustainable prosperity in the world is dependent on creating, wide spreading and sharing opportunities all over the world affording the people an enabling situation to let them work to the best of their abilities in making their life prosperous.
This will never happen until true sovereignty in both Israel and Pakistan is enabled so that talented population of these two countries are taken out from the control of international imperialism.
It is the prime duty of world academia, intelligentsia and opinion leaders to help people of these two countries, and also many other under dictatorial rule, to understand, assert and exercise their birth rights of choosing their political leader through genuinely free and fair elections who must stand to the occasion and work towards welfare of their own people and first task of these leaders in developing peaceful relations with their neighbours.
People of Israel must appreciate that:
The state of Israel was borne out of malafide intent of world imperialism – none other independent country in the world has majority population of European immigrants who displaced centuries old inhabitants of the land;
Now they are citizens of this country for six decades, their deportation are undoing of this tiny country is neither practical nor judicious;
They must also understand that the Palestinians who were banished from this country, even though buying their lands, are also humans and have equal right to a dignified life.
Instead of hegemonic design, this tiny country needs good relations with its neighbour so as to co-exist with them peacefully.
USA may not be capable to support them indefinitely, therefore, instead of serving interests of this ‘super-power of fast-decay’, people of Israel must work towards their own interests and wellbeing of her neighbours.
As for Pakistan, her people must understand that:
It was bit British Raj but King Aurangzeb who divided the people in the first place by unleashing hatred dynamics on the basis of religious beliefs; their forefathers tried to get united in 1857 but again their own people helped British Raj in crushing this popular revolt against the colonial power.
However, the British Raj finally succeeded in tearing apart a great country in two sheerly unequals giving them perpetual disputes such as Kashmir to keep people of resultant two countries keep fighting to benefit ‘military-industrial’ complex of Europe and USA.
Now that they have already lost half of their country by fighting India over Kashmir, now wiser counsel must prevail in straightening relations with India so that both countries could think over development instead of remaining in arms-race.
Though people of USA are friendly, governments of USA have been using Pakistan for ulterior motives in the guise of friendship – the demise of USSR effected through active involvement of Pakistan have immensely benefited the people (though a tiny minority of ultra rich) USA and Europe, its reward for the people of Pakistan is terrible consequences.
The foreign powers are holding institutional control over Pakistan through supporting dictatorial power who draw strength from two most important institutions of Pakistan – Civil Bureaucracy and Military who have basis in colonial past and are oriented to ruling over people rather than serving the people.
Every Pakistani must stand up to exercise her/his political right in electing people-friendly representative who, by forming a people-friendly government, must get genuine sovereignty of Pakistan as a really independent country.
They must understand that a soldier, whosoever he is, is always trained to kill or get killed on a given order (agenda), and that no Army General in the world is ever trained on good governance. Remember, the British people rejected Sir Winton Churchill in elections soon after he won for them the World War II, saying, “Churchill, you are good for war but not for peace”!
How come that 160 million Pakistanis cannot find good replacement of General Musharraf? They can, there are many eligible contenders but problem is that USA won’t let them do that! But remember, once USA had full support behind Reza Shah in Iran. Now Iran don’t have any army general at the helm of their affairs but Iranians, though smaller in numbers than Pakistanis, have withstood decade long war with Iraq and USA neo-con leadership has to thinking for thousands times before they can dare to invade Iran.
It is a pity that General Musharraf and his cronies are talking about safeguarding our nuclear arsenals; these assets are suppose to defend Pakistan but instead illegitimate rulers of Pakistan seem worried about safekeeping of nuclear assets.
This reminds me of an historical fact which Justice Yusaf Saraf narrated as an anecdote in his famous and well researched book, “KASHMIRIS FOUGHT FOR FREEDOM”. He wrote:
Mahraja Hari Sing of Kahmir raised two new battalions of his army. Once ready after full training these battalions were ordered to move out to desired locations. An officer of these battalions went to his commanding officer and reported:
Sir, all arrangements are OK except one : Police!
The commanding officer asked, “For what purpose?”
Sir, who will protect us, if not Poilce!
No wonder People of Kashmir are destined to live under the brutal protection of Indian Army for the last six decades!
