The Indian leadership's naïveté is more than matched by the rascality of the Pakistani military establishment, which demands a bribe for every move on its part — generous US aid flow to help rein in the Taliban, and a Kashmir resolution to sever its institutional support to India-directed terrorism.

"Terrorists are still coming in from Pakistan", India's lumbering external affairs minister lamented in Parliament last week. India can be sure terrorists will keep arriving from across the borders, emboldened as they and their patrons would be from New Delhi's pusillanimity in not taking the smallest of small steps against Pakistan even as a token expression of India's outrage over the Mumbai assaults by 10 terrorists — all from Pakistan's Punjab province.
After every major terrorist assault, India can expect — as has been the case since the Mumbai attacks — visits by high-ranking public figures from overseas who will offer loads of sympathy, heartily pat the septuagenarians and octogenarians governing India for their restraint, and then peddle their eclectic wares — from seeking access for their police to investigate terrorist strikes in India and question arrested suspects, to urging New Delhi to use the latest tragedy to resolve the Kashmir issue with Pakistan.

India's leadership problem is intractable, BJP, Congress, commies, notwithstanding
Indians really have only two choices:
1. Live in 'homeland india', as lambs to be taken down
2. Live as eternal refugees in other countries such as singapore, the US that have the wherewithal to stand behind their own people.
What do we choose?
Naughty naughty Nr Chellaney. You are being unpatriotic! Don't you know you are a citizen (2nd class of course) of the continent of Dinia?! It has a nice green flag with one crescent moon and a large number of stars. Pakistan, the main country of Dinia, includes all of Kashmir, Punjab, Himachal, Gujarat etc. Bangistan is a large green smear covering Bangladesh, WB, Assam, also Sikkim (I think). The continent also includes some white patches of presumably Dar-ul-Harb. The map maker didn't want to get too greedy all at once. I came across this nice map in some Paki forum www.forumpakistan.com/hindu-zionism-and-pakistan-t15586.html. (Actually I'm not sure how one gives links, but you'll find it alright).
I was trying to see how old this Hindu Zionism fantasy was when I came across it. BTW this fantasy is much older than the Bombay attack. The author Zaid Hamid has quite a following aming the Pakis.

Thank you, Sudarshan, for the link to the map, which I have added to my collection.
The map and the underlying ideas of "Nidia" etc, are the weird dreams of one Chaudhuri Rahmat Ali, the real founding father of Pakistan. I had commented about this earlier in this blog. Here are two links to the internet document that gives a complete description of Rahmat Ali's concept of P*A*K*I*S*T*A*N [sic]:

The said map relates to Rahmat Ali's "demand" for Muslim states in the Continent of Dinia [Ali’s name for India], namely: Muinistan, Haidaristan, Faruqistan, Osmanistan in Hyderabad Deccan, Maplistan in the south west (Karnataka), and Siddiquistan (north of Osmanistan). He also advocated that Bangladesh should be a separate Muslim state called Bangistan. These Muslim states in Dinia would then form a Pak Commonwealth of Nations allied to P.A.K.I.S.T.A.N.” This was part of Rahmat Ali's concept of an Islamic Caliphate. bin Laden apparently extended the area of the "Caliphate" all the way from Morocco to Indonesia, as one Pan-Islamic Empire. bin Laden's this idea is, I think, the reason for the continuing Pakistani support to Taliban and al Qaeda. More important, the elite in Pakistan, especially in the military, continue to harbour the dream of a Pan-Islamic empire. See, for example: The Betrayal of East Pakistan , which is "Columnist AHMAD FARUQUI's review of the book of the former Commander Eastern Command in 1971" in the Paki "Defence Journal".
