PAkistan - a complete politician

PAkistan - a complete politician

The world is full of surprizes. The historians have named seven most surprize of the world, as i think pakistan also leaves no loophole to be accoladed as the eighth surprize or the 1st amazing art piece of the 21st centuary crafted by the team of its political leaders header by General Musharraf. It is beyond any objections that if we leave the last couple of years, then pakistan has always been a poor economy. Illliteration , poverty and superstitious belief have been there for an era. Yet, pakistan plays a key role in world politics. Is it so because of its geographical location and others factors or it is a result of sharp and intellectual decision taken at various stages by its leaders.
The economic developments happened in Pakistan in last 60 years do not produce a worth-appreciating development rate. Poverty still is a grassroot problem with rural Pak. Common people of urban pak do not possess modern luxouries in general. Although in recent years Pak has moved on progress and some people are really rich but the number of these people , as polls indicate , constitutes a very small percentage of its population. 50% of pakistan's population is illitrate and belief and fear from celestial powers is still very common and unarguable in most of the rural Pak and also in urban Pakistan.A large part of its population still lacks basic resources for a healthy life. Other than these basic rooted problems, Pakistan also suffers from bomb-blasts, and violence among communities. I must make it a point that it has also lost 3 wars with its close neighbour India and has continously been blamed of bringing up and spreading terrorism. It has been said to run and support terrorist camps and many of its known leaders have been verified to be engaged in backing such activities. In spite of the darkness of all these problems and inculpations, Pakistan has still managed to create its own identity on world's map. It plays its own moves in the international politics and its moves are not overcome by any nation. There have been a lot of events which could tarnish its image, which could left it as a rag tag country, one of these is the 3 consequetive defeats from its neighbour, which is undoubtedly larger, economically stronger than it, which was more stronger than it at the time of war, had more soldiers, had more weapons and was financially stronger to cope the war. These 3 defeats could wipe out pakistan from the world map but yet, all three times it was pakistan to first declare the war and attack. I must say that R&D in pakistan is not as good as compared to India, yet the nuclear test, It successfully did Right the day after The India tested its nuclear bomb. No matter how but it was successful in obtaining the nuclear bomb,! The overthrowing of the democratic government, followed by the seige of power by millitary, it was definitely a move which caused violence and millitary had to make tough decisions, yet, after all this pakistan successfully accustommed to the ruling junta. Recently, pakistan is being repeatedly accused by Afghanistan's president Hamid Karzai of not controlling terrorism in the northern border area. It has been repeatedly blamed by India for the same. Even Bin Laden is supposed to be hidden in the remote areas of pakistan. Recently its treaty with north western taliban leaders is also undersupect. Yet, it supports U.S. in pursuit to find bin laden and supports U.S. millitary in their search campaigns. I cant really understand how smoothly it promotes terrorism and at the same time how smoothly it walks with US in war against terror.The way it has maintained its relationship with U.S. is simply great and unprecedented. At one look it is teared from inside, an exorbitant large portion of its budget goes to defense rather than development work, and at another sight, it has its own space in world. Recently, General Musharaff said that the U.S. had threatened to bomb it back to Stone Age had it not supported U.S. in its war on terror. The boldness of the statement is clear evidence that pakistan makes its own moves and not feared by any country. Its stand after 3 defeats, its stand after nuclear tests, its stand after the overtaking of power by military over democratic government, its stand after 9/11, its stand after attack on taliban, its stand on Iraq issue, at the same time its relationship with china, its relationship with U.S. and britain and its relationship with terrorist groups like al queda and LeT, all are in contrast with one another, allpoint challenges each other, but yet pak successfully maintains all delicately. In my views the politicians of pakistan have played a pivot role in last couple of years , being a backbone of its existence and image in the world, without which pakistan would have been just another country searching for its existence. This is a baroque architecture of politics placed by the politicians of pakistan which undemandingly deserves a salute and General Parveg Musharaff has simply been one of those great politicians who are sured to be remembered forever as a great ruler who has sieged power from democratic government and has also been choosen democratically !!!
