Pakistani Mentality

India is again having peace dialogue with Pakistan. It is sick, it is frustrating and on the top of that it is useless. You can't have peace negotiations with your enemy. Positive outcome from current peace process out of question, considering Pakistan is hell bent on destroying India. But it is impossible to teach some one who is not ready learn. As 'peaceful negotiations' is leitmotif of Indian foreign policy, banality of peace stands naked. That’s beside the point. My contention is that I disagree with the common argument amongst the dumbass Indian secularist that Pakistani people are not anti-Indian but only politicians and Army generals are the culprits. This argument is just stupid. It makes me wonder, from where did these politicians and Army Generals come from? That said, I am not saying that general Pakistani populace is bad, it’s just that generally they are anti-Indian. The reason is that their younger generation is taught to hate India.

I am ready to agree that Pakistani Army is staunch anti-Indian and they probably groom their soldiers that way. But it is interesting to study the ‘democratic’ years of Pakistan. Benzir Bhutto or Nawaaz Sharif, prime ministers of Pakistan at various times constantly harps on anti-India sentiments during their election meetings. Kargil intrusion took place when Pakistan was under democratically elected government so did 1971 Indo-Pak War. But how does generations of Pakistani society hates India? It is because they are taught that way in schools, directly and indirectly.

Curriculum of the schools usually speaks volumes about the mindset society. Effects of anti-Semitic curriculum in Germany during NAZI era are well documented. More recent example of will be curriculum in Saudi Arabia, where it teaches hatred towards practically everyone who is non-Muslim. No wonder, we have Saudi society that actively exports and finances global terrorism network. Coming back to Pakistan, we have similar curriculums in Pakistan. They teach weird form of History where their civilization dates back to Harrapan era but funny thing is that according to them Harrapans were Muslims too! Urdu is ancient that Sanskrit and Pakistan is not part of Indian sub-continent but rather part of Arabian Peninsula. They even petitioned UN to not to consider Pakistan part of Indian sub-continent. For them, barbaric invaders like Aurangzeb, Genghis Khan, and Muhammad Tughlaq etc. are heroes. (Dang! list of these bastard invaders is too long!). Their fetish of considering themselves as Arabian heritage is almost insane. (Even, Persians don’t consider themselves Arabs!) Even though, this region of subcontinent bore brunt of Islamic invasion but they see themselves not as victim but as victors. They feel that they are only legitimate voice of Muslims in sub-continent, which is just ridiculous. Such kind of curriculum and weird ideas sows seeds of superiority complex, which is fine, but that superiority is at the expense of utmost hatred towards India and perhaps towards non-Muslim world. It is easy to see that the terrorist circle that starts from Saudi Arabia ends in Pakistan.

They want to reject their past, their present is messed up and future is bleak. The political class has only one option, to continue their anti-India rhetoric. Such anti-India demagoguery not only diverts society’s attention from more pressing issues but also keeps Army busy. This politics seeped to main stream society through school curriculums. It is just pathetically inane to believe that Pakistani society loves or perhaps, indifferent towards India while Army and political class hate India.

P.S. -: May be, Pakistani don’t think that they love India. It is sheer insanity of Indian intelligentsia to believe that and propagate this putrid idea. Most of the Indian academics and press reporters, editors are communist-leftist. Their brains are highly undernourished and their rancid thinking line makes me wonder about India’s future itself.

I H A B ( I hate Amitabh Bacchan)

In the list of celebrities I hate most, I am adding Mr. Amitabh Bacchan. He worked incessantly in last five years or so to achieve this honor. I love him as an actor. His movies in late 70’s and early 80’s were phenomenal. And interestingly, if he gets good director he can still deliver stupendous performance. Sadly currently, it is almost impossible to find good directors. We celebrate pitiable creatures like Karan Johar as great directors. But issue about directors is a digression here.

The reason behind Amitabh Bacchan getting on my nerves is over exposure. He is virtually present in every Hindi movie. Like an omnipotent god! If he is not acting then he always makes sure that he thrusts his voice as a narrator. No matter who is the director or who are the actors, this guy jumps in any wagon, even if that wagon is destined to crash. Recently I saw him in a movie with this kid of 23. That kid was pathetic in every sense and the movie was of perfect garbage quality and it left me wondering why the hell Mr. Amitabh Bacchan is wasting his hard earned glory and reputation in old age. Not only movies but he is ready to market all kinds of products. He is even advertising Emami, a sun-screen lotion. Hello! you grow beard Mr. Bacchan!

People are considered as wise when turn 60. Instead acting like a wise man and bowing out with high honors, or perhaps, pursuing his livelihood with grace, he is behaving like a child, laying hands on everything. Please Mr. Bacchan, don’t make fool of your self.

Also, how on earth he gets roles on so many movies? This dearth of talent in Hindi movies really worries me. The way Hindi film industry is churning out high quality (that means costly) crap for last five years or so justifies Mr. Bacchans presence in the industry or perhaps, vice versa.
