Pakistan is the end result of the division of Imperial
India under the colonial yoke of the Britannic Majesty.
This division was based upon the whims of Administrators
that wished to offer a home for Muslims.
The Hindus being the largest singular majority on the Decca
Plateau were rewarded with the bulk of the Subcontinent.
In 1971 circa, the Parliamentary democracy of the Decca
Plateau conspired with elements of East Pakistan to
establish the Breakaway state of Bangladesh.
Islamabad, has delusions of grandeur. These people
remember well the Muslim domination of the Decca Plateau in
the 1500's.
Kashmir is simply the excuse, the "foreign devil."
Within Geopolitical politics, New Delhi, Moscow, Beijing
all sing the same treaty of mutual support.
Islamabad looks to Beijing's ally, residing north of the
38th Parallel.
Anarchy at home, no, politics as usual.
an Inhabitant upon the land,
The Cost of Liberty is Eternal Vigilance
To tell the Truth in times of universal deceit,
is a revolutionary act.
George Orwell
