First of all, I thank you for reading and pondering over this sensitive issue.
Well Schuaeb u have just contradicted your own point... if we as a nation are not being questioned, then why is it that you said
"what do you say about Pakistan? What do we have in common except our religion."
what i am trying to say is that our "common religion" can serve as a great tool in producing what i said in my article "A PAKISTANI NATION". we have never in the past tried to harness this oppurtunity.
well, as far as Indian Muslims are concerened, what do u think about people like "Javed Akhtar" (in case if you know him). he is a proud and famous indian poet who badly bashed Pakistan during Kargil War. and let me make it clear to you, he was not alone but supported by many of his fellow indian muslims.
Come on please, let go of those people, 60 years have passed, more than half a century, and god knows how many generations. Try to unite the people of existing Pakistan, instead of CRYING OVER THE SPILT MILK.
Sorry to say, but most of your criticism is only for the sake of criticism, depicting our old bad psyche, without any solid reason or suggestion.
My dear u talk of Decentralization. This is exactly what i am saying. By creating smaller provinces, you are transfering local powers to the local people. they would no longer have to travel to existing provincial capitals (which are located in a corner of each province). People of every "Division"(now dont misinterpret it, i mean administrative Division) would be able to manage their own affairs as a seperate Province.
you have said
"The concept of federation like ours has become obsolete in the present world".
First of all, this "OUR FEDERATION" system doesn't even suit our people. it only serves the interests of West. We need to change the system altogether, and create a true form of FEDERAL SYSTEM (and mind you it is not outdated, most of the Western countries including Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland, Denmark, moreso even Malaysia have identical sort of control over their administrative units).
The only point which I could derive out of your whole response was "Liberation of Provinces", which is in line with the map redrafted by Ralph Peters, except that he wants FULL LIBERATION, which could surely be the later stage of your idea. Just to open your eyes and brain i would like you to read the famous "NEW MIDDLE EAST" by Ralph Peters.

If we still do not wake of our lumber sleep, believe me they can succeed in turning their ideas into reality. I hope you have got my point by now.
