get rid of colonized mindset to define subcontinental aspirations
by Ramesh on Dec 19, 2014 07:48 AM

Borrowing 9-11 metaphor is a colonized mindset. Even few of Indian journalists spoke in similar vein about 26-11.

The outcomes of 9-11 are hardly assuring. It led to Iraq war which led to ISIS. Afghanistan has been devastated, and US saddled with a permanent bureaucracy called Homeland security. Muslims in America had for several years harried living, and suspicions though not manifest remain as undercurrents.

Hope Pakistan and Indian subcontinent do better, and have a true awakening to become aware of their shared heritage and immense potentials for a rapid growth along with full legitimization of their strategic capabilities.

It is with such aspiration for a new turn in their relationships and comity among all SAARC nations is what we need to aspire.

Such aspirations can not be built on the renewed call for revenge and mass hanging sans due legal process which the Pakistan Military chief suggests. It has to be build on genuine reconciliation via proper political dialogue. Hot headed military blokes taking a back seat and not interfere in decision making, goaded by the exhortations from super ally operatives is what is worth aspiring for.

These are matters of Insaniyat, Insaaf and Ittefaq; beautiful Hindi/Urdu words which can not be translated. The metaphors to reflect aspirations have to emerge from native languages.

Hang Over

You write after getting paid by Indian site "Mumbai attacks hangover." You are yet completely tunned by Bedouini brew of 7th century. Nothing good can be expected from crooks like you. Angloes pay your bills (both of your country & yourself) so you talk like this. But a decade down you will be begging to India and Angloes will also be dependent on India-China. there is no short cut to honest work and sincerity. Your Abbu Bane Chikne Babri & Ammi Anarkali to get their MohMad & Teresa Mared in Urdu (Turki tent) and now you demand fookat ka malids from from alien colonialist crooks and criminals. But these crooks will not last long to feed snakes like you.

Real Culprit

Religion was invented by Romans as a thought virus in IV century. It has nothing to do with spirituality or holding society and nature around it harmoniously. A deadly strain of this virus was developed by traders and highway robbers in Bedouin land in VII century. These armed legions attracted crooks and criminal low lives who needed something to increase their self esteem. They came up with book which makes them have exclusive claim to truth, and worldly rewards. so the book was written, it is almost a slave manual. Hate to others who have not joined their armed legions is needed to have perpetual conflict and keep the converts in one flock. Time to get rid of these religions and bring back native dharma and spirituality.
