Pervez Mushraff's second coronation as the president of Pakistan speaks volume about the state of affairs of our neighbour. Perhaps most of we indians are gleefully watching these happenings from our tv sets barring some lines of concern seen on the face of our military establishment. As human beings, our concern for humanity is limited to the last border post of Rajstan or punjab or J&K . Also, see our newpaper editors' finely crafted analytical pieces on Pakistan, how they are busy penning down the arguments to prove upto what percentage Pakistan has increased as a failure state.
so much of apathy towards a nation which our grandparents had shared as one nation is really astounding. perhaps, we Indians are obsessed with our growth prospects and slightly complacent about our democratic sucesses. But, there are inherent risks attached to this i.e. if we don't evaluate our democratic governance from time to time then, there are chances of slipping towards a situation like Pakistan. Also, our non-intereference clause in diplomacy will hamper Pakistan's struggle for democracy. remember, India as a country is sorrounded by nations where military dictators rule the people.
The logic that you get neighbours not by choice but by chance has it's own limitations.because- no military government can rule the nation for ever. some time or other, people's voice
