United Pakistan: India’s Worst Nightmare.
War ruled out – for now.

One good thing to come out of India’s aggressive posturing since the Mumbai attacks is that it has united the Pakistani nation to a great extent.
Zardari and his US appointed team wanted us to believe India isn’t a threat to Pakistan. Kudos to India for setting him straight.
Apart from a handful of politicians who owe their rise from mediocrity to the US anyway, the nation is united in the face of the Indian threat.
Mullen has been told to do one. The armed forces continue to stay on red alert, missiles and anti aircraft batteries are being deployed on strategic locations, leaves and holidays are being cancelled, troops are being moved from our western borders towards the east, weapons and artillery is being dusted off and made ready, and surprisingly the politicians have started speaking in one voice and sending out stern warnings to our neighbours on boths sides.
Cries of ‘Allah-o-Akbar’ and ‘Pak Fiza’ya Zindabad’ can be heard everytime Pakistan Air Forces’ Shaheens pass overhead, weapons on display, letting the people know they can sleep while the PAF is awake.
Whether its on the cricket pitch or the battle field, India always seems to bring out the best in us and unite us as one. If the Indians thought they could bring us to our knees with their threats of military action and by issuing deadlines, they know better now. War doesn’t scare us. It brings us together. And a united Pakistan is India’s worst nightmare.
India is now in a bit of a predicament. The Government of India expected Pakistan to follow the script – admit guilt, and hand a few of our citizens over, maybe even allow air-strikes at specific locations. Being seen as taking Pakistan to the task would have calmed the anger domestically and given their chances in the upcoming elections a bit of a boost while also covering up their own failures in Mumbai. To be honest if it was upto the civilian government in Pakistan, the Indians may well have got their wish.
In an interesting twist, two regional powers in Saudi Arabia and China have told India to tone it down and to work with Pakistan – which has been Pakistan’s position all along. The Saudis even made Pranab Mukherjee make a statement to the media admitting that this is part of global terrorism and needs joint action. This comes after recent statements from the UNSC and Interpol backing Pakistan’s as well as the US appearing to distance itself from the conflict.
India is being forced on the backfoot as Pakistan Army prepares itself for swift and decisive action. There are even fears in some US and Indian circles that Pakistan may pre-emptively target Indian airbases if there is credible intelligence available that India plans to go ahead with any ’surgical strikes’ on Pakistani territory.
What a stunning turnaround.
Expect India to make a hue and a cry in the next few days and attempt to put even more pressure on Pakistan, before resorting to increased covert terrorist activity in Pakistan. We should also not rule out the possibility of another false flag attack either in India or in a western country, which will legitimize an attack on Pakistan with the full military support of the US and Israel. Or, they might just try their luck and carry out those surgical strikers they’ve been going on about.
India cannot be seen as pussying out of this confrontation now that they’ve made so much noise about ‘carpet bombing Pakistan’ and ‘turning it into another Afghanistan’ – certainly not in front of their American masters who have big plans for them in this region. This would’ve been their first test to prove their credentials in order to become America’s policeman for the region.
Backing off now in face of the unexpected and agressive response from Pakistan means total and utter humiliation and a huge setback for their regional aspirations.
Are they brave enough to risk the total and complete disintegration of India by picking a fight with Pakistan?
Time will tell. Although they might not have much of a choice now.
Bring it on. Enough of the threats. Enough of the mindgames. Enough is Enough.
Are you gonna bark all day little doggy, or are you gonna bite?

I live in England and have Hindu, Sikh and muslims as friends. We are all from the sub-continent, we speak same language, we eat same food. Please! its time to be friends and work together. We really are one nation, we have always been unique in our own personal way but united as a nation.
Pakistan and India are both facing the terror threat, they both have been played in to the terrorists hands and helped them to attack the other party in the past.
It is time to stop that, it is time to work together and ask the forgiveness from the millions of people killed in 1947.
We owe it to the souls perished in 1947, 1965, 1972 to find a long lasting peaceful solution.
No one wants a nuclear fight in sub-continent
No one wants killer US or Israel or russia
We are brothers and its time we start acting like one.
@ Chris:
Another example of lack of understanding of mindsets. You see a Muslim mind-set is that he’s PREPARED and WILLING to die for a just cause.
While the mindset of all our enemies is that of fear of death; who want their pawns to play their moves for them and die for them.
“If a man hasn’t discovered something that he will die for, he isn’t fit to live.”~Martin Luther King, Jr., speech in Detroit, June 23, 1963.
Even though I am an Indian I can fully appreciate your sentiments. You are actually right that this current conflict has deflected attention from the Mumbai attacks to the pros and cons of an Indo-Pak war. A splintered Pak has united. There are a number of political issues that need to be settled in the region.
I am just waiting for the day when the dramatis personae will realise the benefits of give and take and the sublime beauty and peace that accommodation and mutual respect hold within them. War might achieve some immediate goals, but nothing in the long term.
Humankind has progressed by leaps and bounds mainly through science and technology. Is this terror that we see, Nature’s way of levelling this even. How I wish the progress in science is matched by progress of the human mind.
>>All these dimwits are playing right into the hands of the well known neo-colonial, wars for oil and gas, false flag operaters who are gagging for an Indo-Pak war.
India is only responsible for this hysteria – indians need to get rid of the hawks within their govt and millitray. otherwise that small minoirty will take down this region because of their madness.
>>Wake up children. We are talking nuclear here, with New Delhi, Islamabad, Calcutta and Mumbai floating about at around 30,000 feet.
we are fully awake and its time that india realises it too
>>And guess which countries will be laughing their socks off? Still want the doggie to bite?
the ones who are backing their slaves (Indians) to wage their war for “population control” in SA.
it doesn’t matter who laughs but we will do our best to help other indian neighbours to get rid of india – even the price is our own existence.
they should stop collaborating with israel – if it is not become clear to them what that lobby has done with US
>>You really believe your nation can survive an attack by India?
Has it not survived continuous indian propaganda – media warfare, 4 attacks millitary attacks since 48, covet terrorist attacks, buying of its so-called political leadership, their role in pak media by planting the so-called intellectuals etc?
When India will give up its madness and will use its resources for something “productive’ like taking care of the poverty – read some of Andrudhati roy article – mubabi is not our 9-11 – for further facts.
>>A nation which is surviving on IMF’s borrowed money, is facing attacks by US on its own land
the US backed “democracy’ needs its sustenance for its “services from the IMF – people of Pakistan doesn’t need money from IMF to feed its corrupt politicians.
US attacks – probably they r trying to anger the general public against their own installed puppet govt which is not taking an action against their attacks – then they may try to hijack that uprising to justify their attack to safe poor Pakistanis from another “saddam”.
I wonder what is making u worried about US attacks when India is also trying to start a war with their backing?
>>and has already lost East Pakistan due to its own mis-adventures,
what is the reason behind this intellectual dishonesty? or did u assume that for rest of world their sole source of information is “indian propaganda machinary”?
Sarmila Bose – google her name and read her analysis of the situation – that may help u to know one fact that 71 incident lacks genuine independent invetigation and an honest account of the facts.
we didn’t lose east Pakistan – we were divided and can be reunited again. its just what u pursue – indian pursued a path to divide us and pakistanis need to pursue a path for unity.
>>surrendered 90000 odd soldiers in the 1971 war ,
1. it was 45 to 48 thousand – rest were paramillitary
2. it was a blackmail – Dhaka will be made a slughter ground
3. army surrendered in Dhaka but what about other cities? did they surrender?
Thanks to traitor which indian had to backstab – why buniya lack manhood? why dun they have any rules of engagement?
dun worry – we’ll repay the courtesy of 71.
>>rushed to US everytime they suffered huge casualties be it in 1965, 1948 or in the kargil war claiming tht it can defend itself!!
why Pak had to rush to US when at that time they had ended their millitray support to Pak?
who u r trying to make a fool?
when the brave indian army fled from battle ground in 65 they left those weapons boxes behind which US sent to Pak – meanwhile war started and they sent it ti India to use against us – but the buniya didn’t even erased from the boxes – ship to pakistan – anyway we got our shipment in battle field.
Its india who rush to US when its ass is kicked – and what about now – who is backing u to attack Pak now? and did u not get 7 billion $ for rotting ur army on border for an year after fake parliament attack?
bring some originality in ur sinister plans against Pak instead of copying US|israel flase flag operations. but idol worshippers can never have “originality”.
>>Praise the Indian govt for not going for a war yet
and why should they go for war?
>> else your nation will be destroyed once
that won’t a bollywood movie and u should not take indian propaganda machinary that seriously
>>and for all..dont go by what your army generals have been telling your nation..go and read all the reports in all the international strategic affairs journals and you will know where Pakistan stands vis-a-vis India..and yes before talking about war, channelise your energy in solving ur own internal strife which may soon see a pakhtunistan and balochistan as separate nations..and yeah use some energy to solve your economic crisis as well
for solving all this first we have to choke out their supply routes – and eliminate the source of threat.
its time that we do it now.
All these dimwits are playing right into the hands of the well known neo-colonial, wars for oil and gas, false flag operaters who are gagging for an Indo-Pak war.
Wake up children. We are talking nuclear here, with New Delhi, Islamabad, Calcutta and Mumbai floating about at around 30,000 feet.
And guess which countries will be laughing their socks off? Still want the doggie to bite?

To paraphrase Patten, the idea isn’t to die for your country but make the other guy die for his!
Another good and comprehensive article by brother Dan Qayyum…
I for one believe that apart from airspace patrolling, the PAF jets were flying in low-altitude most possibly to raise the morale of Pak. citizens.
And it sure did work! :p
You really believe your nation can survive an attack by India?A nation which is surviving on IMF’s borrowed money, is facing attacks by US on its own land and has already lost East Pakistan due to its own mis-adventures, surrendered 90000 odd soldiers in the 1971 war , rushed to US everytime they suffered huge casualties be it in 1965, 1948 or in the kargil war claiming tht it can defend itself!!Praise the Indian govt for not going for a war yet else your nation will be destroyed once and for all..dont go by what your army generals have been telling your nation..go and read all the reports in all the international strategic affairs journals and you will know where Pakistan stands vis-a-vis India..and yes before talking about war, channelise your energy in solving ur own internal strife which may soon see a pakhtunistan and balochistan as separate nations..and yeah use some energy to solve your economic crisis as well
Well done. Very well written.
I live in UK at the moment but I swear the day my nation needs me I will be there next to our armed forces defending our homeland, my homeland.
The blood which runs in my veins is for Pakistan and Insha Allah we will give them mother of all wars. They might have some supremacy over Pakistan but they dont have our courage and our will to die for Pakistan. Allah is with us and with HIS will we will defend and nip the evil where it hurts.
Allah-o-Akbar
