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 just read your blog.
well i seriously disagree with what u say.
I m a citizen of india. I have many indian friends who went to pakistan to see the cricket match. They will tell u and photographa can prove that common pakistani people do not feel in this way. They are against war and want peace as much as we want.

just because politicians and terriorists cause problems does not mean that all citizens are bad. In india we have many politicians who give india a bad name. But does that mean that all indians are bad since these politicians are after all the citizens of india?
I think 52 years of enimity is more than enough, it should be our generation who should come out of it and stop this. We live a very peaceful live and hence we can talk about not being friends with the neighbouring country, but look at the people living no dying in kargil and laddak, think of the soilders who die just because we dont want this frinedship to exists. Put yourself in their shoes and u will also want a relation of friendship with them.

While I don't agree about the widespread anti-India feeling in Pakistan, I do wholeheartedly agree that any dealings with Pakistan should be on a profit-loss basis...to that effect, unless they reciprocate, we shouldn't be taking the initiative for anything...
