    Why the obsession with Zia? Interesting, how people like to find one person/event to lay the blame upon. Pakistan was rotten long before Zia. Pakistan was never a country. It was a "jaagir" for Muslim elites who feared economic/political alienation in a "secular" India. Jinnah was merely a broker. Once religious "high" was over, these elites pinned the obsession of people on Kashmir and India. It was none other than the "secular" Bhutto who declared the "thousand years war" against India which was later shaped into "Bleed India by thousand cuts" by Zia. So when people blame Zia for fundamentalism, they are wrong. Pakistan was born out of fundamentalism.

    If not Zia there would have been some other person to fill his shoes. The mentality he represented was always there, which is quite evident from that country's history before Zia (1947-1977). In 1971 they killed 3 million Bengalis, attacked India several times. They also had already used their non state actors during 1947 and 65 wars. They had already banned Ahmadiya sect. I also don't agree with you on Jinnah. He said different things to different people on different occasions. What actually matters is not his words but his actions.

    One important thing which I guess should be highlighted is that he used the time during soviet war very smartly by building nuclear weapons technology very quickly, he knew that right now americans need him to defeat soviets so he used this opportunity and made quick progress to build nuclear weapons and Americans remained mum in this time period.

      Education, economic prosperity, innovation, communal harmony, freedom for citizens etc. make the country progress fast. Such a country becomes useful for rest of the world.
      In case any of these are absent and if such a country has just nuclear weapons, then such a country becomes a pure headache for the world.
      Such countries will be gradually destroyed by rest of the world by using the leaders of the country itself.

    Islam in Pakistan has produced strange and contradictory characters . Bhutto , a Democrat sow the seeds of islamization, which was further nurtured by a still peculiar character in uniform , Zia-Ul-Haque ,who turned his country into a modern global jihadi centre. So effective, it is the Bhutto ,who is the father and grand-master of jihadi outfits with Zia as his disciple. But at the centte of it all is the Islam as the driving for for both of them.

    I live in Pakistan, and sometimes I wonder will Pakistan Really Collapse just because of Economy, The answer is no. Why? Pakistan is never dependent on economy, The economy is for ruling elites to make more reserves, get luxury items, smuggle goods to AFG and other central states. There is no check and balance, Otherwise we see cheapest oil at some places as well, its just that is from Banned neighbors and is used by people to get extra benefit ( you know what I mean ). We see lots of $$ being traded by people in private sector, which is even more than people can imagine.
    Moral of story: Whenever Pakistan collapses it wont be because of economy and it never was an economy issue😅. It will be because of its ruling Elite.

    Jinnah didn't intend Pak to be Islamic state and said so in 1947. However, Jinnah retracted his statement soon after and said in Jan 11 in Karachi Bar Association: "I could not understand a section of people who deliberately wanted to create mischief and made a propaganda that the constitution of Pakistan would not be made on the basis of Shariat.”
    Sharia based Constitution cannot be considered Secular.

    Dear Mr. Gupta:
    Thank you for the great presentation.
    Former Pakistani President and CMLA General Zia -ul - Haque was possibly the most skilled dictator to rule a country.
    He worked through the matrix of America-Soviet rivalry, enmity with India, and efforts to entrench his own power very effectively to determine results conducive for him.
    For quite some time matters went quite well for him. But, subsequently as is the case with almost all dictators, resentments started coming out like steam from a pressure cooker. Opposition to him was growing within the country, Russians were threating him, and relations with India reflected perpetuation of mistrust laced with surface courtesies.
    Perhaps most important was the collective aftermath of paranoia, tyranny, aggressive predilection, and religious extremism in Pakistan.
    His death from an unresolved plane crash was above all the aftermath of the social turbulence and orgy in Pakistan. The initiator tragically became its own victim, after causing misery for so many.
    As the world struggles with coping economic hardships, political high-handedness, and religious fundamentalism, we in India would have to keep devising methods to manage our relations with Pakistan effectively.
    After all, as the illustrious political commentator and editor, Inder Malhotra, once put it, India would have to learn to live with Pakistan as any less fortunate person does with a bad kidney.
    General Zia's long stint in power in Pakistan has made the India's relations with Pakistan more prolonged and more challenging.
    With Regards,
    Ranajoy Sen

    People here commenting that Pakistan was always a fundamentalist country should do some reading of subcontinental politics. While Pakistan was envisioned as a motherland for subcontinental Muslims, the founding fathers could hardly be called fundamentalists. In fact, early Pakistani leaders were very much from the same fabric as the early Indian leaders. The difference is that early Indian leaders did a good job of keeping the military professional, building fairly robust democratic institutions and avoiding fundamentalist blowback. Pakistan could not do that. And over time, the failure of the 'system' allowed the regression to fundamentalism.
    And those saying the anti-India POV in Pakistan stems from Islamic fundamentalism - I'd argue that by the same definition, the Afghan population (and the Middle East too) could also be construed as fundamentalists. Why isn't the anti-India sentiment as strong there as it is in Pakistan? Nepal is not an Islamic country, why is the anti-India sentiment so strong there? We must acknowledge that the Indo-Pak hostility has a historical/geopolitical/cultural aspect to it too. Calling Pakistan "rotten from the start" is an excuse to ignore the nuances of human character and history.
