Pakistan-India: Peace or hostility | Revised Article

This is a revised version of last article on the topic of Pakistan-India: Peace or Hostility. This article reveals more critical and important points related to Pakistan-India relationships and this impact on this region of Asia.

Pakistan and India were born out of conflict in 1947. Both, since then, are at loggerheads. Their hostility has stunted the potential of region to blossom into a hub of peace, growth, development and prosperity. Three full-scale wars have failed to supply both Islamabad and New Delhi a lesson of peace. Rather two sides are busy in piling up military hardware aimed at each other. A hand extended towards friendship is chopped off by the hand entrenched in chauvinism. Kashmir is a major cause of concern for both states. It is still unresolved. Islamabad says that Kashmir is a part of its territory and it must be liberated from Indian side. However, India asserts that this matter has been settled and there will be no partition on religious lines again.

In this environment of unabated hostility, there are also some aberrations of promoting peace. The Simla Accord could have proved to be a real instigator of peace. But Pakistan’s close alliance with China, Bhutto’s mercurial style of politics, Indra’s tough stance and U.S.-China détente prevented peace process. India regional ambitions to play power games always hinder every genuine move from Islamabad’s quarter. Military of Pakistan has vested interests in pursuing hostility with India. In fact, Islamabad’s foreign and security policies revolve around India.

A CSS candidate can prepare this article for Current Affairs, Pakistan Affairs and even can prepare for essay.

Regional Stability and Pakistan

South Asia is a region of diverse peoples, assorted cultures, but multiple conflicts. We have an example of Europe before us that how it transformed itself from a warring region to a unified region of vast potential. We gaze at Europe having single visa, one currency (euro), stronger than dollar, and one parliament to reflect on the decisions taken by individual parliaments. It is painful for South Asia which is nowhere near normalization, much less cohesion. It is wracked by internal conflicts and outer dangers. The two main countries, India and Pakistan, are not even on speaking terms. Kashmir is the major bone of contention between them. Regional stability is hostage to this decades-old territorial feud. Trade and economic ties are well nigh absent between them. Thus, mindsets rooted in the past have overcome modern realities of contemporary, globalized era.

Feudalism and Social Structure of Pakistan | Essay for CSS

The following essay briefly explains the current democratic and political condition of Pakistan. A CSS/PMS candidate can employ this text for current affairs, sociology and for essay preparation. 

Feudalism and Social Structure of Pakistan
The democratic system in Pakistan is constrained by a multitude of forces. Many analysts opine that feudalism is the major cause which undermines democracy and hinders social equality. Their view is generally shaped by the issue of land reforms in Pakistan raised by many political parties out of populism. They tend to ignore the fact that feudalism as a dominant economic force has fizzled out. It has now assumed value of power in our society. It is used interchangeably by the culture it bred over centuries which persists now. Feudalism is often employed as an umbrella term to describe power structure within a rural society. It also describes the pattern of authority in rural set-up—the relationship between the ruler and the ruled. In urban centers its use is confined to merely a metaphor for lack of convenient term to consumerist, power-hungry and elitist mindset.

Essay on Democracy in Pakistan | Essay on Current Affairs

The democratic project in Pakistan has always remained under assault. Popular expression about democratic governments is largely negative. The people of Pakistan forget that the relevance of democracy is directly linked to the socio-economic conditions of a given state. Urbanized middle classes wonder that how a poor and illiterate population can make sensible decisions in the electoral process. They ask: where is theirs representation. They did not understand that their representation lies in the institutional mechanisms of the state functioning. The political class, on the other side, is a transitional class suffering from myopia. It is mainly concerned with power and revolves around this agenda neglecting people’s sufferings.
