Love Thy Neighbor –But why Pakistan ???

There is a famous phrase in Bible “Love Thy Neighbor” and our Country is following this phrase religiously for almost seven decades. India shares its borders with Sri lanka, China, Nepal, Bangladesh, Burma, Bhutan and last but not the least our best friends Pakistan. Sadly our relations with all these countries are not that good. Out of the above mentioned countries India have a major threat from China and Pakistan. I will emphasize about India – China love story and break up in some other blog as this Blog is dedicated to our best friends Pakistan. 

Best Friends is the term I am using sarcastically in my Article because of the efforts put in by our Government regularly to improve our relations with Pakistan in spite of the continuous terrorist attacks  on our country by our best friend. The latest was couple of years back in Mumbai. If I list down all the terrorist attacks of Pakistan in India, I might keep writing till tomorrow. But still I found some stuff on Wikipedia.

All the above mentioned terrorist attacks were masterminded by some Pakistan’s Terrorist outfit.  So we can safely say that India is plagued by Terrorism courtesy Pakistan. By writing this Blog I am not trying to create further rift between two countries but still there are few queries that make me sick.

First and foremost why so much Love to Pakistan? Why that “Aman Ki Asha” and other useless initiatives even after the mayhem they have created in our India. Take an example of Kashmir. The place which was famously called “As Heaven on Earth” because of its natural beauty as been turned into “Living Hell” by our beloved Neighbors.  Pakistanis thinks that Kashmir belongs to them. 

Kashmir belongs to India and that’s what history suggests. Again why “Kashmir Belongs to India” might need yet another Blog. So Pakistan since Independence had their eye on Kashmir. Once they came to know that it was not possible to get into war with India for Kashmir they started creating Terrorist outfits in the valley. This Pakistan funded Terrorists invaded various parts of Kashmir and slowly but surely started destroying Kashmir by killing local citizens, bombing public places and so on.  Kashmiri Pundits who were the natives of Kashmir fled the valley because of Pakistan’s sponsored Terrorism in Kashmir. 

Pakistan got into war with India in 1965 and 1971 but on both occasions India emerged victorious. Since then Pakistan came to know that War was not the option and decided to create Terrorist groups to destroy India. They have been successful to an extent in their plan but it is our Indian Government that is to be blame for. Even after 26/11 attacks in Mumbai, Indian Government is still striving for friendship with Pakistan.

But why the hell we need Pakistan. I know war is not the option but we can at least boycott Pakistan. Is there any need to issue visas to Pakistanis to watch Cricket in India? Singers from Pakistan have made Bollywood as their means of livelihood as most of our directors are calling Pakistani singers to sing in our movies. Why we need Pakistan’s Adnan, Rahat and Atif singing in Indian movies when we have our own Sonu, Sukhwinder ,Shaan and Rehman.  

Indian movies and television shows are banned in Pakistan where as every Indian movie now- a- days is not complete without some Pakistani singer or actor. Why so much Love for Pakistan? Why cannot our government adopt a simple Agenda that “Till cross border Terrorism continues to haunt India especially Kashmir, there will be no relation of any sort with Pakistan”. I know the phrase “Love Thy Neighbor” but Neighbor should be lovable but sadly this is not the case with Pakistan
