INDIAN HEGEMONY

Indian hegemony, apparently a bitter pill to swallow for all the Pakistanis, but lets be realistic and accept the ground reality. Both India and Pakistan got freedom from The British Raj at the same time but present day India is not a match to Pakistan in each and every aspect of life, be it their adds in the TV or its per capita income or its literacy rate or its IT sector, Indians are going forward with stead fastness and destination in mind. On the other side, Pakistan is boggled when it views world’s tilt towards India .we must remember one thing in mind that there are no permanent friends or foes in today’s world, it’s the interests which matter most. If Miss Clinton comes on the stage and calls for Indian role in the area, this invitation should not be seen with envy rather we need to evaluate the circumstances which prompted US secretary of State to make this call. World’s bent of mind towards India is in no uncertain terms, rather it has proved that they deserve to be pampered and liked owing to their all round performance in every walk of life.

OUR INCUMBENT FOREIGN MINISTER

Pakistan at present is fraught with unending and never relaxing problems, which has put this country in a messy situation. It is a fact that perilous situations do come in every society and nations do come out of such problems by the dint of determination, perseverance and unmitigated will power but for Pakistan, all these positive and constructive features are just the part of discussions and rhetoric. Unfortunately, the people sitting at helm of affairs are least bothered about this situation and they are busy in mud slinging and saving their interests. The recent blunder, made by the Govt is of international magnitude through appointment of Miss Khar as FM of the country.

The current domestic and international scenario demands a seasoned and more vibrant person, who could bring country out of chaotic situation. Khar’s appointment as foreign minister is an attempt by the sitting Govt to show the world its liberalism and progressive attitude but as a matter of fact it is the reiteration of age old feudal and clan system. We need to open our eyes and face the bitter prevailing realities which demand practical results .our biggest fault is that we don’t learn from past and keep repeating blunders not mistakes. At least we should learn lessons from our next door neighbor, India who most of the time have knocked us down on diplomatic fronts and made us face alienation and isolation in international comity.

Little –carrot-long-stick approach of Washington against Pakistan, relations with India, conflict in Afghanistan and shift in China’s foreign policy makers are few of many other fronts where Miss Khar will have to prove her skills and abilities which apparently she lakes. Ministerial responsibilities will consume most of her time in the coming months. She is walking into a minefield of foreign relations.
