From Mohajir to Kashmir-in-my-blood Jingo The Mush-head's metamorphosis from a displaced Indian to the First Patriot of Pakistan. It is a providential help to the pakis that Kashmir didn't go to Pakistan from the terrorist activity for Pakistan would have been the killing fields. Now that things cooling down, Mushraff should try to erase Kashmir from the national psyche and try to improve the economy of Pakistan instead of keeping the Kashmir issue on the front burner. Let it fade away by benign neglect and talk about something else like educational changes in Madrasas. For once Mushhead should talk about national interests and stop being a Kashmir-in-my blood Jingo. For a change, give Kashmir to the Pakis and give them the taste of their own medicine. Just a hypothetical and rhetorical suggestion--JPR --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn.com Opinion page India's real intentions By Shahid Javed Burki Was it ever in Pakistan's interest to obtain the accession of Kashmir by encouraging the victory of jihadi groups over the Indian forces occupying Kashmir? What would have happened to Pakistan if the Islamic groups battling the Indian forces succeeded the way the Mujahideen had triumphed against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan in the eighties? How would Pakistan have accommodated a 'talibanized' Kashmir into its body and into its own political structure? There is the same answer to these three questions. Kashmir's accession to Pakistan, secured as a result of a military victory by Islamic militants, would complicate enormously Pakistan's own situation. At this point President Musharraf is engaged in a difficult project - to rescue Pakistan from the grip of the obscurantist elements in society who want the country to be thrown back into the dark ages. He wants Pakistan to join the rest of the world by modernizing its economy, its society, and its political structure. Such a project would suffer a great set back if the jihadis were to succeed in Kashmir and bring it into the fold of Pakistan.
