the-birdie, Your post is not misunderstood as I know, after reading some other posts of yours, you are a thoughtful lady. Not every Indian is against Pakistan. And, believe me most of the Pakistanis are neither against India nor Indians.
I'm glad you pointed out that we did talk about trivial things and left out the real problems. I'm coming to a very basic question. What are Pakistan's real problems? You said Relgious Fascism, which is not correct. This terminology itself is wrong. Not only in Pakistan, but it is not true anywhere on this earth. You might have some examples to quote in this regard, but please analyze them statistically before you draw a conclusion.
I generally do not engage in such discussions with everyone, but I see you a person who would see the right when shown. I'm posting below a note which I wrote a few months ago to an Indian friend of mine (a very fine fellow), who had many misconceptions about Pakistan and was completely swayed by the media propaganda.
He brought up many issues of Pakistan and Pakistani women being victims of the social and economic desecration, being a major one. He raised following questions:
- How much is the lethergic political system responsible for all this nonsense?
- How much is the misinterpretation of Islam responsible for this?
- How many of you think that woman is more than a commodity and should be treated with dignity and respect? If yes, than how the hell these 'CIVILISED PEOPLE' butcher women and girls like animals, why cant some NGOs/social groups/social activists etc come forward to stop such non sense?
- How much is the Pak youth responsible for favouring the so called representatives of Islam/Democracy?
- Do you think that the values given in the religion should be given a global thought and not to the territory specific?
- Can the Pak youth think of something which can re establish the lost image of Pak/Islam globally (I am not sure how feasible this would be in the given situations)?
Please read my note appearing in the following post which I wrote in response to his above questions. I think you will find it interesting. You are raising quite similar points.
