Leaders to See the Mirror
History exists on facts of life and shallowness of a nation’s history are the inept and egoistic leaders. In wars, logic fails to define foes and friends. India and Pakistan have an enriched history to blame games for their failure to preserve freedom, security and the ideological foundation of their existence.
Insecurity and injustice stem from corruption and failed political leadership. India opted for institutional development to avoid military interventions, Pakistanis got derailed for change and national development by continuous military coups and foreign alliance to maintain its survival. British colonialism lasting a few centuries divided and ruled the subcontinent and history keeps on repeating itself for continued insecurity, internal political intrigues and foolish sectarian actions to discard reason for unreasoning. The British left the sub-continent in a hurry fearing Nazi Germany onslaught during the WW2 causing ethnic divides and killings in the name of freedom and social-political identities. While India claims secularism constitutional intent but flourishes a Hindu dominated democracy as its nationalistic basis, Pakistan lost its ideological point of reference having seven military coups and conspiratorial regime changes never ushering a fair system of political governance to ensure its integrity and survival. Some 15 years earlier when this author wrote “Pakistan at Crossroads”, it sounded alarm to thinking people how wrong people, with wrong thinking were doing the wrong things across Pakistan. Sadistic leaders are a problem. Perpetuated animosity serves domestic political agendas and ballot boxes.
To learn from history, newly independent Indian and Pakistani states and leaders needed objectively grounded reasons to reconstruct the societies for political change, freedom and friendship. Its dynamics should have envisaged proactive vision and creative leadership pursuing emancipation of peace and harmony over animosity. The State of Jammu and Kashmir is at the heart of all political and strategic problems which characterize the nature of relationships between the two nuclear rivals. Under PM Nirendra Modi, India is tainted by Hindu nationalism and its ideological and normative connotations and supremacy of thoughts. But its unilateral claim on the people of Kashmir negates the British constitutional act of freedom for both states and does not have the characteristics of truth, wisdom and honesty to assert moral and intellectual justification.

Pakistan Needs Political Change and Institutionalized Political Governance
Ignorant, irresponsible and egoistic politicians blame others for their own fault lines and never dare to see the mirror. Societies and nations overtaken by greed and insane leaders would find excuses to claim fair is foul and foul is fair. Pakistan lost several decades of precious time and opportunities for nation-building, unity in soc-economic-political diversity and a peaceful system of transfer of power to elected people. Critical problems of national harmony, peace and unity surge in Baluchistan and Pakthoonwa Provinces. Bombing and killing of innocent people would not bring political change but intelligent leaders of vision and integrity could restore Islamic values of unity and societal harmonization.
The contemporary trajectory of politics spells out inherent mismanagement, abuse of power and amassed internal insecurity. The emerging trends of conflict with Afghanistan and attacks by ISIL and Pakistani Taliban in Baluchistan and Islamabad signal critical issues more than simple sectarian divides. Sharif brothers and a few Generals are part of the problem, not the solution. The prolonged problems deserve comprehensive thoughts of security apparatus and national unity. Truth telling is maligned and persecuted by the ruling elite. Sharifs, Bhuttos and Zaradari or few Generals do not represent the nation. It is an irresistible necessity of time and truth that those in power must be warned to listen to voices of reason and political necessity for change and truth for restraint and civilized behavior.
The February 2024 elections were rigged and demonstrated a fraudulent scheme of internal intrigues to stop peaceful change and transfer of power to Imran Khan, the leader of Teherk-e-Insaf Party. Generals do not build the nation but are a source of conflicts and sectarian divides. The Generals do not develop the economy or moral and intellectual fabrics of a nation but people of knowledge, intellectuals, visionary, thinkers or poets or philosophers do. Generals do not prepare present and future generations of educated people for national responsibility and share no sense of law and social justice to enhance nation-building.
Rationally looking, India and Pakistan failed miserably to understand the meaning and truth of national freedom from British colonialism.

Foes and Friends Co-exist in Global Politics
Nation-building for peace and good neighborly relationships is a critical issue for the present and future generations within the sub-continent. Strangely enough, new, educated and proactive generations are denied time and opportunities in Neo-colonial dominated cultures of political power and elite class domination. Post colonialism, India built some of its public institutions to enhance democracy, free elections and transfer of power but Pakistan fell victim to conspiracies, dismemberment and military coups and lost the strategic path of institutional development and nation-building. The current egoistic politicians who were not elected for the governance must face the mirror to immediately free Imran Khan (Pakistan Teherk-E-Insaf), leader from captivity and unfair treatment. Individualistically motivated animosities implied to charge Imran Khan with 150 or more bogus cases. Domestic harmony in Pakistan wants coherent rethinking to free Khan and his party members.

Time and opportunities call for new ideas and new efforts on both sides to talk about peaceful means to settle the Kashmir dispute. Effective leaders are always people-oriented, open to listening and learning and know their strengths and weaknesses. The leaders of India and Pakistan must do soul searching and think critically – how to make a navigational change to ensure a sustainable political change in relationships, national freedom and a progressive future. Both nations have friendly ties with the USA, China, Russia and West European nations and leaders of these countries must take initiatives to make India and Pakistan understand the strategy of peace-making and good neighborly relationships as a preventive measure to stop a dreadful futuristic war. Any substantial rethinking for political change would require habitual practice of honesty, rational candor, frankness and sincerity of purpose to avoid dreadful tragedies. Recall that truth, glory and honor live in righteousness not in wickedness.
