Some educated and well-informed Pakistanis speak out the truth, and they are labeled as traitors. They are not willing to listen to the facts, and anyone praising India’s progress and development is a Gadar in their eyes. According to them, they are Muslim, and Khafirs can’t be better than them. They still believe in Gazwa-e-Hind. Their main theme is that they are Muslims and have Jazbaa. They forget that in India, there are equal, if not more, Muslims than Pakistan. Their argument is that they are suppressed, tortured, and not free. They believe that Muslims will rule the world.......
Recently, general elections were held in Pakistan. It
was literally a farce, with the results being delayed. Some say, Imran Khan’s
PTI party has got a big chunk of seats, while others say Nawaz Sharif's party
has rigged the results. Whoever wins or comes to power, nothing much will
happen or change. The world is surprised at how the elections are conducted in
Pakistan. Amid protests, the Election Commission of Pakistan has ordered
re-polling in some constituencies following alleged rigging on February 8. Everyone
knows that it's the Pakistani army that's calling the shots. The army is busy
on various fronts, Afghanistan, Iran, internal strife, plus elections. In their
hearts, they know India will not violate the ceasefire unless it is provoked or
infiltration occurs.
Pakistan is in a state of self-denial. The masses
still feel their country is number one and their army and ISI too is number one
in the world. The Madrassa-educated masses see Islam in everything. They are
not willing to hear anything negative about their country. The best joke is
that they still believe their country is economically strong and Pakistanis are
respected the world over. The masses' exposure to the world is poor; they are
blind to truth and facts. Their IQ level and general knowledge are poor. The
illiterate men are bad, and the women are even worse. They go to the extent to
state all big countries have developed because they copy Islam. When asked, if
others have progressed and why Pakistan is behind and begging from other
nations, they have no answer. Or their favorite reply being, the world is
trying to suppress Pakistan as it’s a strong and rich country with great talent
and resources. This is laughable, and for Indians, it’s a regular dose of
comedy!
Sometimes one gets the feeling they are living in
stone age times. They believe in the propaganda and fake news dished out by
their media. They are not even aware where they stand among other nations; how
their green passport is almost at the bottom of the list, how their citizens
and leaders are strip searched in foreign airports. And in Europe and America,
Pakistanis claim to be Indians to avoid the insults and checks reserved for
Pakis. They say this is all propaganda. One can understand this from illiterate
or madrassa educated people, but many of their educated are far worse with
fantastic answers. Seeing these people talk, I think the country will be the
same for another 70 years. They see conspiracy in everything, be it education,
trade, sports, defense, or the economy.
Some educated and well-informed Pakistanis speak out
the truth, and they are labeled as traitors. They are not willing to listen to
the facts, and anyone praising India’s progress and development is a Gadar in
their eyes. According to them, they are Muslim, and Khafirs can’t be better
than them. They still believe in Gazwa-e-Hind. Their main theme is that they
are Muslims and have Jazbaa. They forget that in India, there are equal, if not
more, Muslims than Pakistan. Their argument is that they are suppressed,
tortured, and not free. They believe that Muslims will rule the world. Others,
Khafirs—Jews, Hindus, Christains, and Sikhs have no right to be there. Apart
from self-denial, Pakistanis suffer from identity crises and have no history or
historic heroes of their own to emulate. They are not willing to believe they
are from the subcontinent, and their ancestors were Hindus, and they have been
converted by force, cohesion, or greed. Their missiles are named after Ghori
and Gazni, who attacked and plundered their land. They are their heroes, and so
is their thinking. Such a nation will never progress.
Sajid Tarar, an American-based Pakistan political
analyst, said, "I thought Pakistan was 50 years behind India, but now with
India landing on the moon, launching its aircraft carrier, frigates,
destroyers, and designing and manufacturing fighter aircraft, automobiles,
trains, weapons, and other developments; I feel, Pakistan is 100 years behind
India." Another knowledgeable and educated Pakistani admitted that after
seeing the development in various fields like infrastructure, economic might, education,
sports, industrial growth, the development of new cities, the launch of
Magalyaan and Chandrayaan, and the mission to the sun, India is certainly over
100 years ahead of Pakistan. They must try to emulate this rather than propagate
negative information about India. Pakistan media and anchors like Fiza, Naz,
and others spread hatred and try to belittle India for some brownie points.
They are making a fool of themselves. A friend who visited Pakistan some time
ago said, the people love to bring in Islam everywhere and in everything. No
wonder Pakistan is a hub of terrorism. Once they separate religion from
politics and other things, then there can only be some hope for the country.
Barring a few, most of the vloggers on social media
posting Pak reaction videos are themselves not well informed on the subjects;
they don't do research; they just copy subjects from one another; they ask
provocative questions, and the Pak masses make a fool of themselves by giving
fantastic and funny answers. India and the world are laughing. Most vloggers
are keen to garner more subscribers and earn some dollars. And the Pakistan
media and so-called experts love to talk half-truths on a wide range of subjects,
including Gaza, Kashmir, India, America, and the Muslim world, though nobody
listens or cares for their views in these debates or discussions. They say
Saudi Arabia or the UAE should not do this or that, should not favor India,
Israel, or Afghanistan. Should these countries ask Pakistan to form their
policies? What right does Pakistan have to talk about other countries and their
independent foreign policy? They should be talking about Pakistan and how to
improve their lot, control prices, and bring their economy back on track after
surviving on begging from other countries and funds from the IMF. With this
chaos going on, it will be an uphill task for Pakistan.
The answer is yes and no! Simply because, as per
experts, in 2014 and later in 2019, the BJP won with around 36 and 38 percent
of the vote share. The balance 60 percent vote share was fragmented among
Congress and numerous other parties. It doesn’t require rocket science to
conclude what will happen if these opposition parties join hands. Besides,
Indian voters vote differently in state and central elections as the issues and
demands differ.
There are rumors that all is not well in the party and
that there is an internal rift within the party as some senior leaders are not
in favor of Mody. See party member and critic Subramanyam Swami’s frank
interview in a couple of social media channels, he openly talks about it and
hits at the main stream media for not showing his views and discontent within
the party. All this will not make it smooth for the party in the coming
election. With their own governments in Northern states, others may get around 250–260
seats, hence, they need Maharashtra, North East, and Southern states for a
clear and commanding majority.
Some argue, with the inauguration of Ram Mandir, it
should be easy for the BJP. Again, yes and no! The experts say, due to Ram
Mandir, 38 percent of the vote share may go up to 40 per cent, not more. And
BJP doesn’t represent all Hindus. Only traditional Hindutva and BJP supporters
will vote for them. The BJP won mainly due to the 60 per cent fragmented vote
share which was spread among different parties. This in no way will be
incremental to the BJP. Now people are aware of the role of mainstream media
and are vary of fake news on social media. Change anywhere is inevitable and
Congress learnt it the hard way in 2014 by being over-confident of a win and
lost power.
In elections, it’s the will of the people. Remember
Indira Gandhi, the all-powerful Congress leader? She was thrown out of power
and again voted back to power strongly by the same electorate. One can’t
under-estimate the power of the Indian voters, they are smart. They don’t
forget the issues and promises easily and this reflects in their voting.
In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, either the BJP will
win hands down or hop. The reason being that the BJP is not in power in all
Northern states, like Punjab and HP, similarly, after the Manipur fiasco,
there’s anger, and it won’t be smooth going in the North East. It's not in
power in Bengal, and after the Yatra, experts say it won’t be easy in Assam as
the CM’s loose talk has done more harm than good. So, the BJP will need votes
from the Southern states where they are not in power. This makes it a tricky situation
for Mody. And for Congress and opposition parties, it will be an uphill task
for them to make an impact. And the story doing rounds is that if the BJP wins
by a thumping majority, Modi will be back, but if they hop and scrap, someone
else will take over the reins of the government.
