It is not just trade route that India wants. Their scheme is a veritable East India company plan that starts with trade and transit and ends in taking over the country. We cannot be more devious than the Hindus in commerce and diplomacy; if we could we would not have slipped from being the ruling class to being poor mass in British ruled India. If we could not do it under ostensibly neutral rulers - the British - how could we do it when traitors are our rulers?
I do think Zardari is a traitor. Unlike his wife who could hide her true feelings, Zardari is openly motivated by vendetta - against Pakistan, its armed forces and its faith - Islam. Mullah Military Alliance is not just a Ahmed Rashid or Hussain Haqqani construct, it is an ideology. Its focus is: if the partition had not taken place what would the Muslims not have - their armed forces and their nationalist clerics. The fundamentalist clerics from Deoband would still have been there as masters of our spiritual destiny and children of Hindu mothers and Muslim fathers would have been welcome as officers in the Indian Army. Make no mistake, undoing the partition is the common objective of the Zardari Party and the ruling class of India.
The PPP under Zardari is even more viciously against the ideology of Pakistan than Benzair for whom it was a 'tactical position'. Being opposed to mullah or military rule is a perfectly valid political position. But to oppose Islam as the polity of Pakistan or to deny that the armed forces have a role to protect the country from internal insurrection or external invasion is to engineer the collapse of Pakistan as in 1971 in East Pakistan.
Zardari Party's love for India is not founded on a taste for Indian films or music; it is founded on the rejection of the foundation of Pakistan. Fortunately, the illiterate masses of Pakistan do understand that instinctively; it is we the educated ones who think that statecraft is just a game that can be played without the underpinning of an ideology and a structure of high objectives. While I fear the consequences of the disconnect between the masses and political class; I am satisfied that it is the masses who are poised for victory, not the political class. Pakistan is ripe for a revolution; it is just taking too long to crystallise its objectives.
Zardari is not one of us. He is a traitor-beggar willing to sell his own soul and sell down the drain the finest nation on earth - the people of Pakistan for a tuppence (No. His price tag is 100 billion dollars). I hope and believe that he would become the catalytic agent for the requisite high objectives to be formulated.
