the ground realities in land of fascist that are still there i.e. Australian Christian father and his two young sons 10 and 6yrs old were burnt to death by Fascist Hndu Terrorists. Those were not one and two but the whole mob backed by those in power. Just last week Church vandalized, school stormed, Xmas celebration were disrupted by the fascist hindutwa goons backed by the local govt administration. Or not too long ago the cow vigilantes in India lynching at least 44 people. The serial blasts that rocked the Mahabodhi Budhist temple in Bihar’s Gaya district. The first persecution of Buddhists in India took place in the 2nd century BC by King Pushyamitra Shunga. cruelly persecuted genocide Buddhists Hundreds of the Buddhist statues, Stupas and Viharas were destroyed in India between 830 AD and 966 AD in the name of the revival of Hinduism.
Let’s keep in mind that gwadar is an isolated town in an extremely underdeveloped part of Pakistan. Had China truly wanted to build a Shenzhen in Pakistan then they would have built in either near Karachi or the relatively developed northern Punjab region. The main goal of gwadar is only increasing the military presence of the Chinese. We should pay close attention to these protests for sure but let’s not act like this is a victory that will benefit us as China is unlikely to stop developing a military base due to these.
No. Karachi is under Sindh government. There's no alternate universe in which PPP would want development of Sindh. Not to mention until few years back Karachi was far more unstable than Balochistan has ever been. A port can't be built in Punjab.
Many inds are of the view that Pak is becoming a Chainese colony , but they ignore USA's influence on Pak Pak is a creation of the west for a very strategic purpose of the US. Pak is a miltry mercenary state of US The entire country is like it's millitary base , a mad dog which is controlled by US ,strategically located between Afg , Iran Ind , Chinaaa If any countries in this region go against US it will unleash this mad dog on them .They unleashed it on Afghan and India, and now it intends to unleash it on chaaina . Ever wondered amerika the champion of democracy , elections , Why it's so easy going on a army rule of Pak ? Why does Pak army enjoys and sustained so much power over pak ?

@@mk-cb7vc Your comment would have been accurate 10 years ago however the Americans have dropped Pakistan for more than one reason. Remember Pakistan tried to hide Bin Laden which the Americans saw as a major betrayal and then it was obvious that Pakistan has long supported the Afghan Taliban via the Pashtuns. The Americans also do not work with Pak because they now buy most of their weapons from the Chinese. Pakistan is under Chinese influence in every way possible while the Americans have completely withdrawn even where they cannot use Pak airspace for their drone operations.

That’s the basic difference between Chinese and Americans. Both work on extreme self interest but Americans leave you little window of opportunity but Chinese doesn’t. And as we know the nature of Pakistan is to limit India and they may have succeeded at very minuscule level but they have kept paying extreme price for it. Their generation are going to pay for it. Their obsession with Kashmir is hurting them the most and their leaders (army and civilian) knows this very well but they can’t back off otherwise it will backfire. Interesting to see how things unfold in Pakistan in next 10 years.

One very important thing many are missing about the Chinese debt is a huge part of the infra debt money is going back to china directly in the form of contracts to chinese firms even in countries that have local expertise which is detrimental to the growth of the country taking debt. If IMF or any other international organization gives loan they don't add strings as to who should build the infra and part of it can be built by local firms of that country. That way the money circulates in the country creating wealth/ generating jobs while the debt is being repaid by the govt.

One minor correction: The twelve mile zone is the territorial waters of the nation. That’s a country’s exclusive property. Activities e.g. fishing next to the coast exclusively by a country’s fishermen can be done upto anywhere 200 miles from coastline. That’s exclusive economic zone. No other country’s fishermen are allowed in one’s EEZ to obtain anything of value, be it fish, or any other natural resource. Beyond the EEZ, i.e. beyond the 200 Miles is the high seas which is a free for all area. Ref: UNCLOS. United Nation Convention on Laws of Sea.

So CPEC is basically a road built by China for China by Chinese money loaned to Pakistan who pay for this road and allied infrastrucure. Once road is built what will be the revenue stream for Pakistan to repay the loan? Tolls, Taxes, Port usage fee? Will it be enough??
Ikr. One of the greatest things about infrastructure projects is that it provides a lot of employment to people from low scale labourers to engineers. As far as I know most of the Indian roads are being built by indians. In Pakistan on the other hand the whole thing is being maintained and done by Chinese. I dont see how this is actually beneficial for Pakistanis living there.
@Miya The thing is our missiles and fighter planes can range the CPEC corridor in Northern Kashmir (Siachen to be specific). That's why the Chinese keep on whining whenever we build any kind of infrastructure in that region. In the war times, we can stall their trade at least.

Thank you for sharing once again on Pakistan, a country that you cannot get out of your heads, especially after the saffron warriors/terrorists of Modi brigade came to power and surely after losing US$3 bn in Afghanistan. 1. Pakistan always wanted Gwader to be a developed port for economic reasons. That was the reason why Pakistan bought it from Oman in the first place. The reasons are (i) deep waters, (ii) proximity to economic lanes into the Gulf region and beyond, and (iii) earning money for the development of Balochistan. Why it was not developed, is another story and I can share why. 2. USA was never a long-term ally of Pakistan. The book titled, 'No Exit from Pakistan' by Daniel Markey shares the inside papers from American establishment and clearly states that USA cannot exit from Pakistan and that it cannot let Pakistan develop economically or to get totally destroyed; it can only allow the country to continue in a 'managed destabilized' situation. 3. The stories of rifts between Pakistan and China are, at best, FAKE NEWS. This is all FAKE is evidenced by China supplying semi-stealth J-10Cs, submarines and advanced frigates at almost no cost to Pakistan. I have researched Pakistan budgetary forecasts and there is no significant amount earmarked for such expensive acquisitions. It seems that either they are all on negligibly small EMIs, get now and pay later, or even simply China running its PLAAF, and Navy through Pakistan using Pakistani personnel. I predict that Pakistan will soon be getting Chinese full stealth jet fighters.
Why chinese purchasing oil from middle East ? They have an affordable , accessible supplier like Russia . I didn't get the logic behind that , may be for influence ? Or more demand ?
Also the quality of the fuel matters. Part of the reason Germany lost world war 2 was that they were lacking good quality fuel even though they had the best fighter craft designs. While the allied nations had ample of it.

An unstable neighbor, that too a hostile one like Pakistan, is not necessarily a good news for India. India doesn’t usually fish in the troubled waters of the neighbourhood. Who knows? The next government may be headed by the religious extremists like TTP, TLP, etc, which doesn’t bode well for India. Baloch breaking away from Pakistan is not a likely scenario. There’s no friend next door to help them as India helped in the formation of Bangladesh. So I expect more headaches for India.

Bharat and like minded countries should depict Balochistan as an occupied territory in text books and all other maps... International awareness should be created about the plight of Balochistan people
Shekhar - extremely perceptive and fascinating take full of perspectives, as always. Loved it. Two aspects you could've woven in are: 1. The sensitivities around Durand line resurfacing since the Taliban has never accepted it as the border. 2. In a geographical quirk, when China built a port in Pakistan's Baluchistan, India built a tit-for-tat port in Iran's "Baluchestan", another vast sparsely populated region with a lot of cultural continuity.

Whatever Pak-China developments happening now, India is equally to be blamed for pushing Pakistan back to the wall diplomatically, militarily and intelligence games. Being a smaller country/ power, Pakistan had to try something out of the box to compete/fight with India on the INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED TERRITORIAL DISPUTES while India's stance as a bully have been 'my way or high way' blah blah. Ofcourse it would not be acceptable to any nation exactly like India has not settled for border dispute with China while being a smaller and weaker nation. However, on a wishful note had there been better leadership available on both sides (specially in India) Indo-Pak conflict could have been settled differently while using strong basis like same race, same culture etc. India never tried to play the role of a big brother infact chose to remain an enemy/adversary which forced Pakistan into arms race and use unconventional warfare methods like gorilla warfare in Kashmir (which to Indians is terrorism) while India adopted for same tactics by supporting militant groups in Pakistan and supporting their terrorist basis in AFG. Before all this, India also actively supported anti-Pakistan in then East Pakistan. So yaha doodh ka dhulla koi bhi nahi hai. Unfortunately, both countries have availed every opportunity to harm and it still continues. Now, one way is to rant one's biased view point and remain in jingoistic state for years to come or else start to think ahead of their noses and petty interests and start to address the core issues and quit 'my way or highway' policy. We really thought that IK could have done this on Pakistan's side but unfortunately he had BJP/RSS on the other side. I am sure if some moderate, secular and peace loving leadership would have been on the side (like Mr. Manmohan, Vajpayee, I K Gujral etc.) things might have been different today. Having said this Pakistan's 'very selective' military leadership made the blunder of the century by engaging in Kargil conflict and lost a wonderful opportunity to normalize relations with India. Now, with China getting actively involved by each passing day, it does not pose a great picture for peace loving ppl on both sides. A militarily rising India can't expect a smaller power like Pakistan not forced to get involved with China for their joint protection and than get bullied by BJP's India over territorial disputes. Has Indian leadership (despite their traditional reservations towards Pakistan) has missed a trick here???
It’s the Punjabi Pakistanis who have been trained to hate Hindus and treat India as an enemy since 1947. They run the army and the army selects the civilian government. Have you ever thought why RSS/BJP came to power after almost 53 years of liberal politics in India? Thank your Punjabi brethren for that. Why would India not work to ensure its own security?
@@shantanushekharsjunerft9783 You should also try to rationally understand why it is so. Punjabi Pakistanis bear the brunt of partition trauma, in every second family there is a tragic story of a close family member or friend who went through some sort of voilence during the migration (largely migrating from Indian Punjab), so the wounds of going through atrocities are there and hence the resentment and lack of trust. There is large number of Kashmiris who reside in Punjab (mostly in cities) who were forced to migrate from their home lands due to unrest and being at the receiving end from Indian forces. Punjab comprises of 60-65% Pakistan's total population. So I leave the maths upto you to figure why why Indians rant Punjab, Punjab when it comes to Love-hate relationship. And please don't not give this absurd excuse and blame on Pakistan for rising fundamentalism, extremism and nationalism in Indian society. 'Hate Pakistan' sells big in India, please don't believe me only check your jingoistic media and your hateful election rallies and you will find the answer there. And I am not even yet discussing the recent hateful speeches of Indian pollies towards their own Indian Muslims. So let's not fool ourselves and look at the situation in black and white. It's NOT. If you are for peace and prosperity for sub continent than let's hope for sanity to prevail on both sides and in current scenario more so sanity prevails for Indian leadership and public who is supporting hate while they are being fooled in rediscovering lost glories.

Sikhs might have got over it but radical Hindus are even today pursuing their malicious agenda against minorities specially Muslims. When Modi was first elected as PM, some experts in Pakistan predicted that 'Modi is a gift for Pakistan' he will validate two nation theory and any doubts which left wing had over creation of Pakistan would end. They surely were right and now Mr. Jinnah is celebrated more than ever in Pakistan. I share your thoughts about peace and prosperity in current political situation but will not give up the hope.

India is five times bigger than Pakistan but still doesn't have a state as large as Baluchistan.

One very important thing many are missing about the Chinese debt is a huge part of the infra debt money is going back to china directly in the form of contracts to chinese firms even in countries that have local expertise which is detrimental to the growth of the country taking debt. If IMF or any other international organization gives loan they don't add strings as to who should build the infra and part of it can be built by local firms of that country. That way the money circulates in the country creating wealth/ generating jobs while the debt is being repaid by the govt.
Ethiopia subway built by China cost 475million for 34km with 39 stations. USD14million per km, USD12million per station and $0.12 full fare
Dakar, Senegal subway bulit by France cost 1.7 billion for 36km with 14 stations. USD47million per km, 121 million per station and $3 full fare
Stations are a lot more expensive to build than railway tracks but more stations makes it convenient for commuters and standard is 800m apart. By stations it is 10 times more expensive. By km it is 3 times. So average is more than 6 times. By fare it is 25 times.

In retrospect, the PM and his colleague ministers took a strategically wise decision to help Iran to construct the Chabahar port.
One minor correction: The twelve mile zone is the territorial waters of the nation. That’s a country’s exclusive property. Activities e.g. fishing next to the coast exclusively by a country’s fishermen can be done upto anywhere 200 miles from coastline. That’s exclusive economic zone. No other country’s fishermen are allowed in one’s EEZ to obtain anything of value, be it fish, or any other natural resource. Beyond the EEZ, i.e. beyond the 200 Miles is the high seas which is a free for all area. Ref: UNCLOS. United Nation Convention on Laws of Sea.

Ikr. One of the greatest things about infrastructure projects is that it provides a lot of employment to people from low scale labourers to engineers. As far as I know most of the Indian roads are being built by indians. In Pakistan on the other hand the whole thing is being maintained and done by Chinese.

Thank you for sharing once again on Pakistan, a country that you cannot get out of your heads, especially after the saffron warriors/terrorists of Modi brigade came to power and surely after losing US$3 bn in Afghanistan.
1. Pakistan always wanted Gwader to be a developed port for economic reasons. That was the reason why Pakistan bought it from Oman in the first place. The reasons are (i) deep waters, (ii) proximity to economic lanes into the Gulf region and beyond, and (iii) earning money for the development of Balochistan. Why it was not developed, is another story and I can share why.
2. USA was never a long-term ally of Pakistan. The book titled, 'No Exit from Pakistan' by Daniel Markey shares the inside papers from American establishment and clearly states that USA cannot exit from Pakistan and that it cannot let Pakistan develop economically or to get totally destroyed; it can only allow the country to continue in a 'managed destabilized' situation.
3. The stories of rifts between Pakistan and China are, at best, FAKE NEWS. This is all FAKE is evidenced by China supplying semi-stealth J-10Cs, submarines and advanced frigates at almost no cost to Pakistan. I have researched Pakistan budgetary forecasts and there is no significant amount earmarked for such expensive acquisitions. It seems that either they are all on negligibly small EMIs, get now and pay later, or even simply China running its PLAAF, and Navy through Pakistan using Pakistani personnel. I predict that Pakistan will soon be getting Chinese full stealth jet fighters.

An unstable neighbor, that too a hostile one like Pakistan, is not necessarily a good news for India. India doesn’t usually fish in the troubled waters of the neighbourhood. Who knows? The next government may be headed by the religious extremists like TTP, TLP, etc, which doesn’t bode well for India. Baloch breaking away from Pakistan is not a likely scenario. There’s no friend next door to help them as India helped in the formation of Bangladesh. So I expect more headaches for India.

1. The sensitivities around Durand line resurfacing since the Taliban has never accepted it as the border.
2. In a geographical quirk, when China built a port in Pakistan's Baluchistan, India built a tit-for-tat port in Iran's "Baluchestan", another vast sparsely populated region with a lot of cultural continuity.

Thanks SG . Pl tell us more about pakistan n their news
Whatever Pak-China developments happening now, India is equally to be blamed for pushing Pakistan back to the wall diplomatically, militarily and intelligence games. Being a smaller country/ power, Pakistan had to try something out of the box to compete/fight with India on the INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED TERRITORIAL DISPUTES while India's stance as a bully have been 'my way or high way' blah blah. Ofcourse it would not be acceptable to any nation exactly like India has not settled for border dispute with China while being a smaller and weaker nation.
However, on a wishful note had there been better leadership available on both sides (specially in India) Indo-Pak conflict could have been settled differently while using strong basis like same race, same culture etc. India never tried to play the role of a big brother infact chose to remain an enemy/adversary which forced Pakistan into arms race and use unconventional warfare methods like gorilla warfare in Kashmir (which to Indians is terrorism) while India adopted for same tactics by supporting militant groups in Pakistan and supporting their terrorist basis in AFG. Before all this, India also actively supported anti-Pakistan in then East Pakistan.
So yaha doodh ka dhulla koi bhi nahi hai. Unfortunately, both countries have availed every opportunity to harm and it still continues.
Now, one way is to rant one's biased view point and remain in jingoistic state for years to come or else start to think ahead of their noses and petty interests and start to address the core issues and quit 'my way or highway' policy. We really thought that IK could have done this on Pakistan's side but unfortunately he had BJP/RSS on the other side. I am sure if some moderate, secular and peace loving leadership would have been on the side (like Mr. Manmohan, Vajpayee, I K Gujral etc.) things might have been different today. Having said this Pakistan's 'very selective' military leadership made the blunder of the century by engaging in Kargil conflict and lost a wonderful opportunity to normalize relations with India.
Now, with China getting actively involved by each passing day, it does not pose a great picture for peace loving ppl on both sides. A militarily rising India can't expect a smaller power like Pakistan not forced to get involved with China for their joint protection and than get bullied by BJP's India over territorial disputes.
Has Indian leadership (despite their traditional reservations towards Pakistan) has missed a trick here???
It’s the Punjabi Pakistanis who have been trained to hate Hindus and treat India as an enemy since 1947. They run the army and the army selects the civilian government. Have you ever thought why RSS/BJP came to power after almost 53 years of liberal politics in India? Thank your Punjabi brethren for that. Why would India not work to ensure its own security?

Punjabi Pakistanis bear the brunt of partition trauma, in every second family there is a tragic story of a close family member or friend who went through some sort of voilence during the migration (largely migrating from Indian Punjab), so the wounds of going through atrocities are there and hence the resentment and lack of trust. There is large number of Kashmiris who reside in Punjab (mostly in cities) who were forced to migrate from their home lands due to unrest and being at the receiving end from Indian forces. Punjab comprises of 60-65% Pakistan's total population. So I leave the maths upto you to figure why why Indians rant Punjab, Punjab when it comes to Love-hate relationship.
And please don't not give this absurd excuse and blame on Pakistan for rising fundamentalism, extremism and nationalism in Indian society. 'Hate Pakistan' sells big in India, please don't believe me only check your jingoistic media and your hateful election rallies and you will find the answer there.
And I am not even yet discussing the recent hateful speeches of Indian pollies towards their own Indian Muslims. So let's not fool ourselves and look at the situation in black and white. It's NOT.
If you are for peace and prosperity for sub continent than let's hope for sanity to prevail on both sides and in current scenario more so sanity prevails for Indian leadership and public who is supporting hate while they are being fooled in rediscovering lost glories. PEACE
@@globalcitizen5504 according to Dr Ishtiaq Ahmed the partition riots were initiated in Rawalpindi and Multan. It’s when those refugees got to east Punjab the violence started there. If Hindu and Sikh Punjabis can get over it so should the Punjabi Pakistanis. I wish for peace and prosperity but I am not very optimistic in the current situation.
@@shantanushekharsjunerft9783 I have seen BBC documentaries about partition. The partition riots started from Calcutta and than spread like wild fire in other areas. I have never heard that these started from Multan or Rwp, though there were riots in Rwp at some stage.
Sikhs might have got over it but radical Hindus are even today pursuing their malicious agenda against minorities specially Muslims. When Modi was first elected as PM, some experts in Pakistan predicted that 'Modi is a gift for Pakistan' he will validate two nation theory and any doubts which left wing had over creation of Pakistan would end. They surely were right and now Mr. Jinnah is celebrated more than ever in Pakistan.
I share your thoughts about peace and prosperity in current political situation but will not give up the hope. In my lifetime I would like to see a documentary like WW2 documentaries showing abandoned military installations and bunkers along the line of control. Impossible is nothing if we believe.
