Without going into the details of the 1947 war, since we all know what the reasons behind that war were; I will directly come to the results. As a result of the 1947 war, the UN Security Council passed Resolution 47 and Kashmir was divided into two – Azad Jammu & Kashmir (Administered by Pakistan) and Indian Occupied Kashmir (Administered by India) by creating a Line of Control (LoC).
India fenced 740 km of the LoC in spite of protests by Pakistan; Indian reasons behind the fence were to stop smuggling and infiltration from Azad Kashmir. This fence is about 150 yards on the Indian controlled side, eight to twelve feet high, electrified and connected to a network of motion sensors, thermal imaging devices, lighting systems and alarms. The fence consists of double rows, and the land between the rows of fencing is mined with landmines.
With all these arrangements, if the Indian Army or the media says that militants or the Pakistani Army infiltrated 5 km in the Indian occupied Kashmir and killed their soldiers without damaging the fence, the only reaction to such news could be – “Nonsense!”.
Since 1947, both India and Pakistan are at war on the LoC. Sometimes, this war is paused by ceasefire agreements, but after the violations from either end, tensions increase and war hysteria can be found at both ends. Other than these skirmishes at the LoC (which is not an international border), Pakistan has never violated the international borders. Pakistan has borders with India, China, Afghanistan, and Iran, but it has never created tensions on its borders with these countries and its Army never intruded the territories of the neighboring countries.
On the other hand, Pakistan’s borders have been violated twice by the Indian Army; once with the dream of having a drink in Lahore Gymkhana in 1965, that broke war between India and Pakistan; and the second time when India played a vital role in the creation of Bangladesh that was known as East Pakistan till 1971; it crossed the borders of East Pakistan and created tensions in East Pakistan that again broke war between the two countries.
Peace in Afghanistan is also always linked with Pakistan. When Afghanistan was invaded by the USSR in 1979, Pakistan not only accommodated approximately ?? millions of Afghan refugees on its own land but also played a vital role to support the Mujahideen of Afghanistan in their fight against the invaders. Pakistan always played its part for peace in Afghanistan. According to the US government’s documents, long before the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Pakistan not only tried to convince Taliban to hand over Osama bin Laden to the USA but also tried to convince the Americans to accept the offer, but the US never considered the compromise.
Today, Pakistan is considered to be the key player to bring peace in Afghanistan. Recently, UN Secretary Ban Ki moon has also highlighted Pakistan’s role in promoting peace and stability in Afghanistan, after the withdrawal of the US forces in 2014. He said that Pakistan’s role in promoting peace and stability in Afghanistan following the US troop withdrawal in 2014 will be among the main topics of his discussions with the Pakistani leadership during his two-day visit to Islamabad.
There was never an India before British colonisation. The Muslims reclaimed their lands, heritage, past and are trying to make a new future in what has always been ours, the land of our forefathers and we call it Pakistan.
EXACTLY!!!
Well, I’m glad you have that point of view. I am sure you support the right of the Jewish people to claim Palestine – their land and past.
Bomb Man – what land of the Jews?
On what right?
We have lived along the banks of the Indus since time immortal.
We were occupied for a blip in history by The British and we were on paper incorporated into British India.
We reclaimed the land we lived in.
Onto Jerusalem.
The Jews were massacred and exterminated from Jerusalem by The Romans and Jerusalem left in ruin and barren.
The People of Palestine continued living in Palestine.
The second righteous Caliph Umar ibne Khattab pbuh defeats The Romans in Transjordan and Palestine.
He enters Jerusalem and rebuilds Jerusalem and calls the Jews and Christian back to “Jerusalem” and we Muslim continue to respect this.
Israel is an abomination and calls for nob Semitic Jews accounting for 90% if global Judaism to displace the indigenous Palestinian semitic people.
What right have these non Semites have on Palestine other than a spiritual connection to Jerusalem as does every non Semitic Muslim.
Based on this do we non Semitic Muslims also claim Jerusalem.
Israel is an abomination, occupation and comp,steely illegal and without global Zionism monopolising Western Economy has no sustainability.
A bit like dirty Ganges people claiming Kashmir and seeking to displace the indigenous Kashmiris.
The difference you have not even a spiritual connection just mumbo jumbo fabrications.
Pakistan was The Mughal Empire and part of ever great Khorasani Islamic Empire, prior to this Persian Empire, before this Jain and Bhuddist but what WE were Never part of the backward civilisations of East of Indus the lands and Kingdoms of Hind.
You Indians have your again uncertified, unrecorded spurious claims that do not hold. East of Indus has been influenced by its North and West not visa vi.
Indian Saris, Tilaks, dirties are western and Persian influenced.
The Salwar Kameez and Sherwani was Central Asian.
You people wore nothing 🙂 semi clad.
The Indian language is more comfortable with Hindi which has Arabic, Turkic and Persian words in it even today rather than speak your debunked Sanskrit.
Non Semitic Jews namely the Ashkenazi Jews account for 90 % of the Israeli population.
A bit like a Bihari Hindu claiming Kashmiriyat – illegal and ridiculous.
So it is what it is – occupation, displacement and genocide.
Pakistan wake up:
Another 9 civilians die in Azad Kashmir and a woman murdered by Indian blatant targeting of civilians.
Friendship with who?
India is the eternal enemy, we extend friendship and talk peace it/they see this as Pakistani weakness. Pakistan needs to get it’s act together spner than later.
Latton kay boot baatein say nehin maantay.
History has shown us in 65 years that the Banya nation has only talked peace when it sees Pakistani in a strategic place or assertive.
Pakistan should dismiss any calls for freindship with India and focus on stabilising the nation and borders and provide complete support to Kashmir and WARN India that the continued ceasefire violation from India will result Pakistan full retalliation and we should use China also to give them “the Sino-Pak pinch” – a taste of what it would feel if it became a squeeze.
continued opression of Kashmiris need to be countered with tough talk that Pakistan has the right to cross into Kashmir to assist the Kashmiris as this is a UN ceasefire line of LoC based on India honouring UN resolutions and desisting in it’s persecution of Kashmir.
This war mongering mindset is the source of your problem…” India is the eternal enemy”…get past this stupidity…did you ever think about what improvements to life in Kashmir could be possible if you had peace and free commerce with India?…continuous war is not normal or helpful…is it the Muslim attitude that pushes you into thinking that you must be at war with people who think differently?…is it the intolerance of radical Islam that brings you to the conclusion that you must fight your neighbors over territorial disputes?…when will you grow up and try to settle this conflict with talks and goodwill instead of violence?…
Did u ever think about what improvements to life in Kashmir could be possible if India leave them alone and let them decide what the want. Exactly continuous war is not normal or helpful so let them decide what they want wht is your 600,000 Army doing there. We don’t have only one neighbor Mr. and we don’t have any history of fighting with our other neighbors but India has. So it will be better to correct yourself and try to find which country is always fighting with its neighbors If its India then give this lecture to your Gov.
Brother this fabrication of banya nation has an expiry date. It is fast approaching as I smell the putrid rot within this filthy nation, I am convinced that the end is near!
