Talibanisation

So today we see how precariously Pakistan is placed. India and Pakistan started of as kind of similar nations. Just that Pakistan was smaller. Even in early nineties economically they were not far apart. But now when Indian are going out and making a name for themselves around the world, we have millions of Indian researchers in premium universities, companies trading with fortune 500 companies and PIOs working in those companies as well. But what about Pakistan, its busy making headlines as the home grown terrorism hit country. The nurturing of Taliban and other 'Islamic' forces have now been proven to be disastrous out in the open, its not a new suprising thing as such, people always knew what they were dealing with. Just that they had been denying it as everything was not out in the open. Now that they are being held hostage and their existence is more than in danger. Now we don't have anything to rejoice because India's stand is being vindicated. The thing is now India has a more grave responsibility, to forgive and help. That requires a very big heart and lots of humility from both sides. But that alone can be the solution that can now resolve this situation so that both continue to survive. Its not fair to expect this of India but come to think of it, Pakistan is a way better neighbour even at its worst than Taliban. To support Pakistan is somethng unimaginable in India and I dont see any party with thing on their agenda getting a single seat.. But good thing that politicians are not answerable to the public unless their time is almost up. Lets hope that leaders on both side see some sense and act with maturity of mind and not only age.
