Silent majority, the flasher and the voyeuristic projection of missiles

This voyeuristic demonstration and firing of missiles at the time of crisis demonstrate the impotence of a Govt and the trade mark of a flasher-JPR

Winning a war without fighting By Kunwar Idris
The disability that the Constitution imposes on some classes of citizens on grounds of religion or the penal laws like the one which provides for stoning to death of an adulteress (who, in fact, may be a victim of rape), or the judicial verdicts like the one which has outlawed the modern banking system create an impression worldwide that Pakistan's laws and institutions are both archaic and harsh. Ironically, these innovations in the system hurt many but hardly benefit any. The people at large remain unaffected or unconcerned.

In practice the discrimination against the minorities in secular India may be severer than in Islamic Pakistan but the world judges the two countries by the fact that a Muslim or a Dalit can be, and has been, the president of India but a Hindu or a Christian simply cannot be in Pakistan.

Thus, even with the alleged cross-border support, it is an uneven contest and its economic misery is borne by the people alone

Even President Bush in whose war on terrorism Pakistan is a key player had to warn Musharraf to stop raids rather than fire missiles. The silence of the Muslim countries is deafening.

Whether it is the Indians or Pakistanis who fire across the Line of Control only the Muslims get killed and displaced. In the desperation of their unending agony,
they might reconcile to live under Indian domination rather than continue to fight for accession to Pakistan
