The state survives in Pakistan today by force
A nation is
constituted by a sense, of its member’s cultural community with each other
based on a shared past, a heritage of common ways and traditions. Pakistan is a colonial state combined of five
indigenous nations plus Indian migrants who migrated after British consented to
divide the subcontinent on religion.
“Society is an
achievement of human nature not divorced in nature from natural in general. Having
a certain degree of solidarity i.e. being able, up to a certain point to endure
the tests and answer the questions which are suggested by the scrutiny of human
life from the point of view of value and completeness. Pakistan as a nation does not have a sense of solidarity
as a result of historic achievement. However, five nations each have a strong
sense of their own individual identity and jealously guard their cultural ethnic
boundary from each other. The state has not been able to satisfy and maintain
harmony between these ethnic groups and within the state. Instead it has relied
on force to maintain the state, and with Islamic identity; an Islamic identity which
the migrants brought with them from India and revitalized Iqbal’s,
Lahore myth.
Islam as an
identity of the state produced Taliban and other fundamentalist group. There is
no such thing as political obligation any more than moral obligation. People do
what they want to do unless and until they are forcibly restrained by force. Pakistan is a matter of physical force and nothing
else, and there are 160 million of them which is their sense of self-government
and self-maintenance destroyed. Use of force cannot go on forever and has
limitations.
Western civilization can delay the demise of
state of Pakistan for a limited period, but not forever. The
Pakistani themselves have no will to maintain the state. External preservation
has its limits. Is it morally justifiable to maintain a state that the majority
of Pakistani population do not support?
The army is a
state within a state, financed by western states.
Western countries
finance Pakistan’s army in order to prevent the state from
verge of collapse; Pakistan is a nuclear
state, Pakistani nuclear weapons may fall in to the wrong hands, that is to
suggest, these weapon are not in the wrong hands already. Saudi finance Pakistan because Pakistan holds Islamic bomb and the majority of Pakistan is Sunni sect of religion making Pakistan and Saudi natural allies.
Fanatics support Pakistan because Lahore is the capital of Islamic Umah, this is the same reason why Saudi supports Pakistan. Most fanatics spend some time in Lahore Madrases, the world fanatical power house.
The state
survives in Pakistan today by force. Once force ceases
the state of Pakistan would cease to exist. There may
come a time when two forces collide and one has to prevail. To some Pakistan is not a legitimate state and its elite
rulers are not legitimate rulers.
Religious parties are
seeds of fundamentalist brought from India, by migrant (Mullana
Madodi), cultivated in the NWF frontier in order to
counter early Pakhtoon nationalist movement, and thrive
by Saudi’s help later. Now the state of Pakistan is the champion of Islam, projecting a
picture that Taliban are aliens landed in the NWF frontier.
The state of Pakistan contradicts itself in every issue.
State can survive when the state can exercise
authority over itself. How symbols, drawn from the relations of person to
others, can find submission within what we take to be the limits of individual
mind.
Unfortunately for the
Pakistani authorities force is thought of solely in terms of physical force,
then it is impossible to see how a man can discipline and exercise control over
himself. He can only discipline and control others against whom he can bring to
bear physical force. Therefore it is impossible to see how there can be such a
thing as self government. No society can be said to govern itself, if
government and self are thought of purely in physical terms. There can only be
the exercise of physical control and coercion by one group over another.
What Baloch want
is not what Punjabi-Mohijir wants. Punjabi Mohijir wants to colonize. Baloch want liberation from
colonizer under the pretext of a (failed) state. Pakhtoon
have sought their own design to govern their life. What public want in any
moment must be corrected and amended by what public want at every other moment.
