One day when India stops its aggression and allows Pakistan to open up to tourists, Pakistan will be the number one site for religious pilgramage for buddhists and sikhs and hindus and any one with a interest in history.
If Pakistan was as anti secular as the purveyors of hate and lies here such as Kapil and Frum make out, they would have destroyed these relics and sites a long time ago instead they continue to be preserved at great cost.

Hindustanis have never forgiven Jinnah for taking away what they see as sacred Hindu lands and will never be content until they forceably destroy Pakistan and hence the reason for hate filled sanctimonious blogs like this laughably masquerading as impartial journalism. Shame on you Kapil dont insult your own intelligence with your Indian propoganda.

Its lamentable that the hindu fundamentalists of whom Mr Kapil Commireadies is clearly a mouthpiece cannot get over this fundamental point and instead resort to ridiculous articles such as this series on Pakistan which is devoid of any semblance of journalistic integrity or balance.

Many would wager that despite all the bleatings by economists with 900 million people living in abject slum dog poverty with less of a voice than the all important 75 million middle class , and regular sectarian killings and tensions, India is perhaps the failed state?

In fact more reputable and integrity conscious geo politics experts than yourselves have made the prediction that India will eventually split as this economic divide continues.

I think you are living in cloud cuckoo land if you can claim with a straight face that India is a beacon of secular harmony. I suppose the sikh outrages of the 80’s, the Assamese seperatist movement, the continued indian army genocide in kashmir, let alone the burning of a train load of muslims in Gujarat to name but a few outrages has passed you by????

Im sure the muslims of Kashmir who form 80% of the population would disagree with you that they have a more prosperous life than Bangladeshi and Pakistani muslims who breathe the fresh air of emancipation from Hindu fundamentalists and their propoganda such as propogated by you Mr Kapil.

Lets see India is such a harmonious country since partition it has had 2 wars with China, a war with Portugal, and 3 wars with Pakistan. To this day it continues meddling in Pakistans internal affairs and supporting terrrorist activity all the while attempting through ridiculous blogs like this to break up Pakistan.

By the way someone send a straightjacket over for Netizen. Frankly with his logic if he had a braincell it would die of lonliness.

Pakistan could succeed only if India failed – and India did not fail.

>This is your India

Nice red herring. Babri Mosque demolition was shameful to India, because India feels shame in aberrational actions such as these.

However, consider this – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinduism_in_Pakistan

- Ethnic Cleansing in Pakistan: At Independence India has just above 10% muslims, and today it has close to 13.8%.. A growth of more than 30%.Pakistan had above 18% Hindus and today it has less than 2% a decline of more than 90%. Where did the millions of Hindus disappear in Pakistan? How is Muslim population growing in India if they are discriminated against and How did a Muslim became president of India?

- Third rate citizenship for Hindus: Pakistan treats hindu’s as a Third class citizens behind christians who have better rights than Hindus. In India Minorities enjoy same privileges as everyone, but special protection by constitution, however in Pakistan there are no constitutional safe guards and there are Blasphemy laws that restrict practice of any other religion than Islam in Pakistan.

With the Pushtuns of Pakistan and Afghanistan united into a single state, and the other groups surrounding them joining their co-ethnic neighbors, the area would be a lot more cohesive and stable. The Pushtun especially would have a nation-state, with no inner border to evade the law and foster smuggling.

Look what you have produced! A completely hopeless terrorist country! pakistani= terrorist, pakistan= terroristan! And on life supoort from the infidels.

Coming to Jinnah, no matter how many years you try to dress up a pig it will remain a pig. The fact that Gandhi died at the hands of a Hindu assasin only shows what a great man he was and what he died for.

That has nothing to do with the fact Jinnah was a hate monger, communalist in the 30s and 40s. He was an elitist, authoritarian, irascible reckless man, i mean monster. And his product speaks for him. We don’t have to.

This is your India

Thankfully, Pakistanis have Pakistan where they are free from Hindu-fascists like the RSS and Mr Modi. Thank Jinnah for that

Is this what the liberal left is all about? Continous degradation and misinformation about Pakistan? Sad to see frumforum being used as a tool to smear and attack the ONLY COUNTRY THAT PAYS WITH ITS LIVES AND PROPERTIES FIGHTING AGAINST THE TALIBAN.

That’s right! Hindu and Muslim Indians united against the terrorist pakistan. what a nightmarish outcome of Jinnah’s “dream”.

When the “pakistan” ideology was conceived in the early 20th century, no one remotely imagined
a secular, “Hindu” India which is more united, more powerful militarily and economically.
“Pakistan” was supposed to be the inheritor of glory of erstwhile muslim empires and India
was supposed to break away, a view shared by the British.

What went wrong? Militaristic mindet, megalomania, delusions of grandeur the pak ideologues had
and have plenty. But missing were democracy, doing the hard work to build a nation, building
instituitions, laying foundations for economy, educational infrastrucure and so on.

arvinds wrote :”Gandhi-Nehru made him the monster he later became”
pardone me arvinds. I am afraid that is a rehabilitated image of Jinnah promoted by paks and some in India like Jaswant Singh. It is true Jinnah used to be a secularist, but later on became a hate monger, and a monster only because of his personal ambition.

Ironically and amazingly as you point out the current practitioners of “pakistan ideology” are punjbis who were late comers to the TNT ideology. And the progeny of original ideologues are lost in the illusory present day “pakistan”.

What can India/ Indians do? As the title implies, the hosility of pakistan ideology towards India is implacable. Nothing the Indians can do will placate the paks .
