THiS MORNING On 23 march 2014 by Ghazanfar khokhar I wish I could get up in morning to a cheerful newspaper. This 23rd march. I did not have the heart to send felicitations for Pakistan Day to my friends. Nor could I find it in me to reply to the many messages I received on this once auspicious day. Unfortunately my pm wants to befriend the very neighbor we once demanded independence from. Who cares if this same neighbor started a proxy war through the mukti bahini resulting in civil war which lead to the breakup of 1971. and yes again to the fact that they are currently at proxy war with us in FATA and baluchistan. People of Kashmir have been slaughtered for years,the Kashmir that was rightfully ours and the safety security well being and persuit of happiness of whose people was in fact our responsibility. The rather largely ineffectual UN kind of agreed with us. Till the bans and moons found the new joys of holi and Delhi. Then our benign (sic) neighbor built dams on rivers carrying our rightful waters. Well sure we still get those waters but not when our crops need them. Result drought. (Import indy veggies) so what if the poor consumer ends up paying twice as much. At least we are helping the Indian farmer and so what if our farmer perishes and consumer is impoverished. Then come monsoon their generosity knows no bounds and they open their water gates on us (result flood and destruction of crops property cattle and the not so valuable in pakistan- human lives) Independence my friends comes at a cost. Then again we cannot blame the Hindu for letting us have our water. It was after all rightfully ours. So what that the million odd cusecs we received were in monsoons and whats a little flood here or a little damage there. After all the hundreds of villages destroyed were inhabited only by little people who were anyway dying because crops failed due to drought. Our good little Indians are only helping with one of our biggest problems!! Population explosion. We can afford to loose a few million every now and then to keep a balance between numbers and passion. But mind you they must be poor. Whats wrong with free trade between good neighbors when we can help by importing cheap substandard electronics And appliances. It will create jobs and strengthen industry at least somewhere so what if it is not pakistan at least the beneficiaries are humans. We of course must be dogs!! And Bajjaj and Tata birla chooha Kirla will sport a smile say bale bale and eat some more chabji (We call it sabzi here even if it really is chabji from indie). And of course we will get to sell our raw materials like gypsum cement etc to earn valuable foreign exchange even if it is barter with the ever important chabji. I must admit food security is a big threat and our good neighbor wants to help out. And magnanimity galore they will import our raw material and do all the work required for value addition. Put in new factories employ more people and make their own little men work there. So what if the new Seths will triple or quadruple their money and the little men will eat a little better. But then they are ones doing all the work While our poor folk can sit and bum. After all bummery and beggary is an art form. Simpler life style is anyhow better our rulers believe for the poorest and to contribute to an accelerated growth in this direction they are helping out with taxes and surcharges. Visa less travel for both. Sure we dare not step out of line even if we do get to India lest our family receive our bodies some years later with nails in the heels and no nails on the toes. A little bit of redesigning which we the good Muslims have not learnt yet. We free Kashmir Singh because....well he is Kashmir and wed rather see a free Kashmir. If not that then this Kashmir must do. Also we converted him to Islam didnt we? Lots of sawab. So what if he reconverted to Hindu on return. A man should have free will and didnt we after all perform our duty to re religionize him. On the other hand we get great bollywoods to drool over if not in person at least on every goddam Pakistani channel. So what if a few do slip in to strengthen the networks they have with huge investments of indie guns and other bang bang stuff. They need to run rented people efficiently and discipline does not come easy to us. Even to our rented ones, and we wont want them to loose the huge investments they have made by arming our people here. Never forget they are helping control the population explosion by their own kind of explosions to get rid of the unsavory ones. Our priority is to run treason trial circuses while war wages north and drought induced deaths up south. Gun fodder the judges attorneys and victims seeking justice?????? Indeed fiddlers we, (remember Nero) While Karachi Peshawar Quetta and indeed the rest of my beloved pakistan an inferno becomes. And I am upset just because my boss is gunning for a photo shoot with our next door buddy all poised for an elevation to pm so he can kill a couple million Muslims again???? Aman ke thekidar. Sorry friends for sounding crude
