Pakistan Think Tank Commentary

Indians are becoming really worried about the pace of progress in China-Pakistan relations.  Their cynicism is also echoed by many writers and pundits in the American media. An important factor which needs to be considered that other nations, including US and India have expanded their trade with China.   U.S.- China economic ties have expanded substantially over the past three decades. Total U.S.-China trade rose from $2 billion in 1979 to an estimated $459 billion in 2010. China is currently the second-largest U.S. trading partner, its third-largest export market, and its biggest source of imports. Because U.S. imports from China have risen much more rapidly than U.S. exports to China, the U.S. merchandise trade deficit has surged, rising from $10 billion in 1990 to an estimated $273 billion in 2010.

The article below has a negative spin on Pak-China relations due to the nationalistic bias of Ms.Atal.  Despite her fulminations,  India could also benefit from Pak-China relations by solving the Kashmir, Siachen, Sir Creek disputes. Along with improving the second class citizenship status of its Muslim populations to assuage the anger felt by Pakistanis. Indian Muslims continue to pay a heavy price for the freedom of their kindred in Pakistan. Indian society devours minorities.  A tyrannical tradition kept alive for the last 5000 years by the codicils of Hinduism. The whole of UP is a cesspool of poverty stricken Muslims.  National wealth is inequitabluy distributed.  The “banias,” of Mumbai are getting fatter, at the expense of street dwellers of Juhu and Muslim minority of India. . They are devoid of opportunity, deprived of lands, and facing the bigotry of the the casteism of Hindu psyche. As the glamour of the bogus hocus pocus animism transcendental Hinduism fades,  the Indian society is falling in the morass of moral turpitude.  Drugs, sex, and “daroo,” rule the minds of noveau riche Bangalori IT yppies. The maltreatment of the socalled scheduled castes or outcasts is continue. Gandhian hypocritical and vacous slogans are being proven as such by noveau riche vulgarians of Andhra Pradesh and Maharastra. Mother India is a den of few and billions of have-nots.   BJP bigotry is hidden in a veneer of modernity. India is a dung heap of Gou Mata coated obnoxiously wealthy; exploiting the abject poverty of the the billions of illiterate and starving. And That’s the Reality, the West, including America NEVER talks about. In case of India, the West has evolved backwards.  This is illustrated by the three monkey sages and their monkey scribe the Western media, who wants to propagandize with diatribes tainted by crusades based pro-Zionist philosophy.
