Pak Rulers' Trump Card : HATE INDIA

PAK RULER’S TRUMP CARD : ‘HATE INDIA’
THE political developments, which have been snowbaling inside Pakistan right from its birth, convince one beyond doubt that unless a fully democratically elected governemtn takes over the administration no peace with India is possible. That so long as the government there remains militarily supported and manned by opportunist politicians interested in feathering their own nest any peace process with India would turn utopian is a fact well known with the changing political scenerio in Pakistan and the many developments in its relatable with India.One wonders, whether Pakistan ruled by selfish politicians and petty bureaucrats wuld have even survivied to these days had there not been an India ofr the unruly Palistani leaders to raise the sulphur-hot and reckless slogans against.
All Pakistani rulers were in one way or the other, the victims of their own political blunders. Having fallen in the ditches they themselves dug, they had no other alternative than to resort to nimble antics and gyrations and cheap tacktics to continue in power. To be in power became in all cases a necessity to escape assassination attempts, fact born out by that most of the Pakistani leaders were either killed or expelled by the tyrants in waiting. And they had to find out a safe way to escape from the popular discontent. And the "Hate India" campaign became the judicious answer. No wonder, all Pakistani leaders whipped up this propaganda whether they were politically and academically educated or not.
A tacticle move rather than a religious or national imperative as Jinnah the founder father of Pakistan later confessed and much against the wishes of a good number of Muslims like the then Punjab Premier Sir Sikandar Hayat Khan, the birth of Pakistan was ‘the greatest shock of Jinnah’s life’ as Shri Prakasha, India’s first High Commissioner to Pakistan later recorded. Jinnah during the post-partition days made a rethinking on the policiess to be pursued in the independent Pakistan, which he liked tobe noted for its secular credentials. Jinnah was an archenemy of Islamic fundamentalism who opposed the Gandhian support to Khilafat and the strong ambassador of the Hindu-Muslim rapport. He never visited a mosque even once not read Koran and done what is restricted in Koran just to marry a Gujarati Parsi girl. In the new-born Pakistan Jinnah naturally lived as a confused man and his mind always went back to its old moorings. He called upon the pakistanis o shed the angularities about their belonging to the Majority or minority communities. Pakistan now proved something unmangeable to Jinnsy. The proverbial wedge in the monkey’s hand. And it being too late to correct his ways he sought to assuage his mental anguish bu unjustly attacking the Indian leaders.
The maligned attitude of Jinnah was carried down by the generations of Pakistani leaders. Addressing his countrymen from Lahore on 7th October 1947, Liaqat Ali Khan declared in a broadcast message: "Pakistan is not a shooting star that shines for a moment. Pakistan will not die". The euphoricc message, which bristled with anti-India innuendoes, meant nothing other than that India could not do away with Pakistan.
Pakistan administration down the decades having became a total failure, the leaders knew that they must now find out an outrlet through whichthe popplar wrath could be ventilated. "Hate India" thus became the usaul stock-in-trade to comourflage the unnumerable political and economic errors.
