I know I was rude to call Pakistan a Najistan. It was my anger at the total collapse of the government and above all its ineptness at preventing such attacks. My post titled ‘Pakistan to Najistan, on this blog was made more subtle and I vowed never to write for that blog until and unless they change the title back. Well, they don’t care anyways, but it was important to me that I don’t back out from a stand I took after so many years of observing the developments in Pakistan from outside.
After today’s attack on Sri Lankan cricketers, I would once again reiterate my advocacy of calling Pakistan a Najistan. It’s not just a failed state, its a blot on the name of humanity and freedom.
–> Few fanatic morons walk into your territory and declare it as their own. Then the national government succeeds in getting a ‘ceasefire’ and flaunts its as a diplomatic success.
–> Its investigation into the Bombay attacks are a complete mockery of investigation.
–> The security of a national cricket team is breached by few rascals and then escape as if they came to get autographs. Weren’t the cricketers even provided with bullet proof buses for transportation?
–> Economy- Well…leave it
And you still want to call that country clean of all evils?
I won’t go far in comparing Pakistan with a country that was born at the same time. Bangladesh. Even though Bangladesh had its tryst with anarchy, its achievement in maintaing democracy and controlling the army is commendable (The recently army mutiny is an example). On the other hand, Pakistan is an absolute joke when it comes to democracy and i better not talk about its control of its army. Even though Bangladesh is economically behind Pakistan, majorly because of the geographical location of Bangladesh and partially due to unauthorized rule of Pakistan for 25 years.
