My son Kashmir and my brother Pakistan


Gar firdaus baruhe zamin ast

 Hamin asto, hamin asto , hamin asto ~

(If there is a paradise on earth, it is here, it is here, it is here.)

True in every respect and the Mughal emperor meant every word..

What is Kashmir and whose is Kashmir. Does Kashmir have a choice or a voice. Why would Kashmiris ever chose Pakistan over India. Why is Pakistan so obsessed with Srinagar and not Jalalabad in Afghanistan…

Such an obsession for which Pakistan shunned its entire developmental agenda for 67 years

Pakistan could have focussed to make its people world class, could have become a modern Islamic state, could have made itself energy and mineral rich due to its proximity to Iran and Afghanistan.. But it chose to nurture masterminds like Hafeez Saeed and Azhar Masood…

The question is when will Pakistan learn.. We have similar people in either side of the border but with different attitude. One wants to destroy and the other wants to tolerate destruction.. India like a big step brother has always played neutral to younger brother’s mischief.

But when will these things end. Will it end if we give Kashmir to them. Pakistan doesn't need a Kashmir, they already have many kashmirs or even better like Bagrot Valley or the Hunza or Kaghan valley…

So why so much obsession with Kashmir…

Apart from Kashmir issue, Pakistan doesn't have any major issues. They do have sectoral issues but not religious disharmony. They don't have Hindu Muslim issue. They don't have issues with diversity or culture either…

As a Muslim majority state, Pakistan has a uniform law,a standard language and a uniform race.. May be subset but not distinctly different compared to Aryan and Dravidian…

People seldom die due to excessive rainfall, cyclone or draught.. It has one of the world's most fertile plains “The Indus Basin”, rich rivers, expansive coastline.. Everything which a prosperous nation should have…

But ironically what did Pakistan choose… Destructive minds...Criminals and Terrorists

Let's end this enmity. Let's treat ourselves as children from one mother. Let's forget the bitterness and embrace each other with open arms. Let's create a Indo Pak Rupee FTA zone with single currency monetary union with other saarc members. If you want to lead us, we will follow you.. If you want guidance, we will teach you, but for God’s sake please stop till it's too late.. We have both lost many things due to our internal conflict. End of the day we are brothers and will remains whether we like it or not… let's accept this truth with love…

Let's speak. Let's meet.. Let's hug and lets forget the animosity. Together we can be world leaders in nuclear technology, Banking, manufacturing, textiles, agriculture, shipping, oil refinery and not the least tourism. There is so much scope for development in both our countries that for another 50 years we both would be busy discussing about development.

Let's make our people work freely in both our nations. We will accept your people as students and job seekers. We will setup businesses in your country so that we help you generate income. Let's together join ASEAN and build a thriving powerful Asia. Our collective defence budget reduction itself will help alleviate  poverty and educate our people. With China, Japan, Russia, South Korea we can command 60% of world economy... Let's redefine SAARC and help our immediate neighbours...

Let's not fight anymore... And lastly thanks for detaining Masood Azhar.. Help us to build trust on you and we will move even closer to you... Our PM's presence at your premier's daughter wedding tells a lot of things on how we want to move forward with you... Dont break this trust so that its too late to reconcile...
