Pakistan Needs New Direction, New Ideas: Prof Ishtiaq Ahmed |

- They say the more things change in Pakistan, the more they remain the same. A new government is in charge with a prime minister who is a known friend of the army. But the thing with the army’s friends is, they don’t stay friends for too long. So while Shahbaz Sharif is prime minister, nobody is really sure how long he could last.
Prof Ishtiaq Ahmed, Professor Emeritus of Political Science at Stockholm University, told The Gist that the immediate challenge for the government is the crushing national debt. While an IMF loan of over $1 billion has been agreed upon, the government wants $8 billion and that’s a big question mark.
But Prof Ahmed believes nobody has any idea how to get Pakistan out of the financial mess that is the product of years of mis-mangement.
“You can’t manage an economy if you subordinate everything to a perceived threat to Pakistan’s existence from primarily India. So spending money on arms has been devastating for Pakistan.”
Prof Ahmed argues that the army can keep the forces of separatism in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa at bay. Even grievances in Sind can be managed, he says, and with Chinese backing, the ship of state will continue to sail. But important to note that the Saudis and the Americans are no longer as committed to Islamabad as in the past.
Ideally, he said, Pakistan should open the doors to trade with India. “This whole notion of first settling the Kashmir dispute and the way Pakistan wants it, will not provide a breakthrough.”
He regretted that Pakistan’s problem since its early years was that much of the aid coming into the country went to the army. The situation hasn’t changed in that the army dominates key sectors of the economy through various entities such as the Fauji Foundation or the National Logistics Cell. These occupy the place that private enterprises can do efficiently and profitably.

Sir - why can’t Pakistan leverage its relationship with China to benefit from trade gains rather than India?
What will they trade with China? They don't even make needle.
He is new edition of Ghulam Nabi Fai. his role is to fool India and gullible Indians and peddle narrative of restarting trade and leave PoJK,GB.
Politicians in India r no diff.. what will ask them to do??
Mian yeh Modi Shah ka Bharat hai 👍 new methods to Al takiya nahi success hoga Indira Gandhi East Pakistan ko Bangladesh mein tabdil kar diye the now PoJK bhi greater kasmir mein tabdil ho jayega.

Never trust a Subcontinent's muslim. Should be baseline for Hindus.
India can trade with its protectorates Sindh and Balochistan (and the landlocked, disarmed nation of West Punjab, if it behaves) after the current cancer known as Pakistan is balkanized - with Pashtun areas rightfully returning to Afghanistan and Pakistan Occupied Jammu/GB making its way back to India.
The Emperor in Pakistan is not accountable. Power without accountability is the main problem.
In Pakistan, the politicians & military generals in power are not interested in normal relations with India who always tried to destabilize India by pushing trained terrorised to launch proxy war. In the past, Pakistani rulers fought several wars with India which instigated by America with gifted arms which caused irreparable damage to Pakistani economy. The constant firing on Indian Borders by Pakistani Rangers to create unnecessary tensions. This all is happening due to corrupt & greedy Pakistani rulers who are stealing all resources of that country & are settling in foreign heavens to enjoy life while poor Pakistani are struggling for food, shelter & housing. So there is no normalisation of relations by any means till all foreign based politicians & generals are kicked out of Pakistan. Imran khan was responsible for suspension of trade with India which resulted in serious shortage of foods & other daily use materials. Now PAKISTANI FOREIGN MINISTER SHOWED EAGERNESS FOR TRADE WITH INDIA. But this is only possible provided Pakistan stops all subversive activities & hands over Pakistani terrorists to India who were responsible for massive attacks in India. Only then the normal trade relations cannot be restored. Pakistan must think deeply as why India has friendly relations with almost all Muslim countries of the world except Pakistan. The reason is top Pakistani Politicians & Military Generals who have vested interests for personal greed who are spoiling relations with neighbor by harping Kashmir issue & pushing trained terrorists in India for destructive activities. All these facts must be critically examined by the public & all anti-national leaders of Pakistan should be thrown out of the country. Only then Pakistan can think of good neighbourly relations.
😂😂😂😂India doesn't want to even talk to Pakistan😂😂😂😂
Punjab is Pakistan,as it is widely felt and stated.
@arshaddurrani3885
During the British times, Sir Sikandar Hayat Khan, the PM of united Punjab (those days a CM used to be called PM), worked for Punjabiyat (Punjabi identity) & was nursed his province with love & dedication far above any religious notions . Md. Ali Jinnah tried hard to convince him, to be the heart of Pakistan movement. Hayat Khan resisted for long, but ultimately voted for the concept & joined Jinnah. Then after there was no turning back on that idea & it became a reality.
I kept wondering all these decades as to what made Sir Sikandar Hayat Khan, do a turn-around an a "principle"! After 7 decades his grand plan is unraveling as I see it. If (undivided)Punjab was to be in India, it would be another mere state/ province in India, while Punjab could dominate Pakistan, reducing all other provinces/states to the level of chattel. The only stumbling block was Bengali demographic dominance & it was done away with in 1971. Punjab is the ruling class now, while the other three are hewers of wood & drawers of water. Punjab never had it so good, with the whole country for herself that it would give up at no cost. Punjab's position is like that of "Serbia" (an ultra irridentist country) in Yugoslavia.
Its a writing on the wall now Afghanistan will keep on bleeding Pakistan for another 100 years if it exists at all...
Anyways Pakistan was and will always remain as a hired gun. Period.
It's the genius of our past policymakers to create Pakistan as a buffer state between us and Afghanistan. They will eat Pakistan from within
@jdeea8852
You put it ll in one word "hired gun".
Prof Ahmed, tell to your Pakistani friends to stop cross broader terrorism. India won’t have any dealings with them unless terrorism stops
yeh ganja professor ye halwai chomu hai koi trade chahiye naa trade nor relation with these nation 🤣 jisse jisse khujli hai aman ki aasha kay liye iske saath chale jao hume relation or trade nahi chahiye 🤣
I believe he has done that many times. To no effect.
He is not a Pakistani citizen
Stop sending terror thugs such as Kulbhushan Yadav!

The concept of Pakistan harbors significant internal flaws that render it an unviable entity. Enforcing control over a populace through military force, particularly within a highly radicalized society, does not inherently constitute a nation. Ghar Vapsi is the first step to the healing process.

Good, thought provoking interview!
When in India, or while speaking to an experienced interviewer, Ishtiaq is logical and has positive things to say. I had a two hour session in June 23 with him at Hyderabad, so I should know. However, with a Pakistani host or while speaking with Pakistanis, he changes his colors, revealing his Islamist colors!
The professor seems nice and gave sober analysis. No trade or talks with a terrorist nation though. If Pakistan innocents suffers because of that, Pakistan is responsible for that, not Bharat. If a normalization was tested later on, it must be under a "not one step backwards" policy.
Must Watch movie -- Savarkar
I was shocked on October 7-8, 2023 when he consistently refused to condemn Hamas actions.
Never trust Pakistan 🇵🇰 no matter what !
Always appreciate Ishtiaq Ji 🙏 for his sober, unbiased analysis..
He is sober but not unbiased .
See his statements about , RSS , Kashmiri pundits genocide and exodus .
Dr. Ishtiaq is a silod and reliable in history. Hats off to him.
Sir, you didn't cross question him at all. How will India benefit from good relations with Pak?
We don't. The status quo - where Pak is so insignificant, it doesn't feature into any of our calculus, is the BEST for India.
India should help Afghanistan to liberate KPK from Pakistan. As Chanakya said, it is foolish to ease the pressure on the enemy, when it is weak.
This is a mature and wise gentleman and his views should be taken seriously by Indians & Pakistanis to the betterment of both.
Not by Indians but by Pakistanis.
No Trade and talk with Pakistan 🇵🇰. The terror perpetrators will not sit with oppressors and talk. Jai hind Jai Bharat 🙏🫡🕉️🇮🇳🚩🙏
Do tell them to handover terrorists first
Excellent Prof Ishtiaq Ahmed. A great writer and advocate for peaceful coexistence.
Tell me about one place on earth where someone peacefully co exists where Muslims are a majority with their ideologies...History has been a witness...

Amazing. Thank you sir. Proud to be your student.
Good that you have invited an academic and done a sane analysis of the neighbouring country. Most online channel create too much noise and jingoism whenever they talk about Pakistan.
Asim Munir has recently made hostile remarks about India. It is not in India's interests to improve relations with hostile Pakistan.
Pakistani intellectuals should not hide the virtual military rule by calling it as "the establishment".
By allowing Asif Zardari to become President , SS might be thinking his PM position is safe. Everything will move seemingly normal for 2 or 3 years. Then Asif Zardari will start troubling SS. SS will be dismissed and he will be replaced with Bilawal Bhutto. Asif Zardari is going to be the nemesis of SS because of the ambition and greed of Zardaris. ..
Great interview Surya sir… Hatred has an expiry date and we will win for sure.
It's not hatred sir, it's survival. Hatred is a tool to survive for Pak.
In order to survive, Pak is testing water in India with the help of these intellectuals by smoothening the ground
Once breathing space is available they will show their real face.
Pakistan rasion d tere is anti Hindu hatred.
Hatred is no solution. Cultivate patience, strategy, and love.
Why india is calling this JIHADI to give lecture. He says india shld build friendship with pakistan inspite of terrorism, on the other hand he is criticizing modi for following our own dharma, culture

It can be done. And we have to do it
Khwaja nhi to Pakistan nhi.
no need of trade or official talks till you vacate Pok, give hindus constitutional rights to be CM PM. HANDOVER TERRORIST TO US , TILL THEN TALK WITH TERRORIST STATE IS DETRIMENTAL TO INDIA GROWTH.

His own communist background notwithstanding, Ishtiaq exposed his communal, Muslim colors by refusing to speak on migration/ plight of Kashmiri Hindus. I personally provided him with written proof and offered him a chance to interact with the victims of Muslim fundamentalism in Kashmir. His refusal to comment on the movie Kashmiri Files exposes his biases.
Strong Strategic leadership is needed with massive investment in human capital
I have serious doubt about the Intentions of people and polity leave aside arrmy business will be
used to revive their economy & terror in India both are against peace in India
Prof. Ahmed is very good when it comes to decoding Jinnah....
Ghantaa.
Indians always knew who and what Jinnah was and what he did. Only Congressiyas saved MA JInnahs ass because he was a Congressiya as well. 2 Congressiyahs divided India whereas CON-Goons pointed to patriot VD Savarkar and at time VB Patel for it. This thug under garb of Professor also does same at times and often speak lies and unsubstantiated versions on Kashmir and Hyderabad.
His mediocre books are best suitable for his fellow Pakistani Muslims who are infatuated with MA Jinaah due to their version of history.
Do they have a Robust Industrial Policy, do they have institutes for technical education to generate a skilled workforce.
Pakistan needs basic reforms like landreforms so that gap between rich poor gap narrows . Uneducated people could be diverted towards religion. Education can change mindset of people. Smaller provinces are also necessary for progress as an educated person would never want conflict.
Don't trust a word of what he says! He is a Pakistani after all!!
Kaas ...! rulers of pak have 10% of Prof Ahmed's vision
Pakistan need to change its mindset, if its wishes to progress.
❤❤❤
He is happy to enjoy the hospitality of Hindus in India but refuses to outrightly condemn Muslim fundamentalism.
Given a chance a Muslim will always try and find false equivalency like 1 Muslim killed = same as 100 Hindus killed and will justify the later. They even justify hundreds of temple destruction on Babri masjid even though those temples were destroyed even before Babri was destroyed. These people are liars and hate Hindus. This hate makes them not admit their mistakes, but employ deception, and dishonesty to cover them up without shame.

China is our mortal enemy- not Pakistan- & both should be mature & realize where the threat to subcontinental India lies.

China is not mortal enemy, please stop this kind of imperialistic agenda. Many Indians study and work in China. They are just like us but will feel competition with us later. For Pakistanis, Hindu and India is the “Azli” dushman, and want to do “gazwa-e-hind”. They hate Hindus from the core of their hearts, and there is no cure for this. Please enjoy your stay in USA.

Big fan of Ishtiaq sir! Bold man who shoots straight! Glad to see him get spotlight on Indian media!
Why no question were asked about conditions of hindus and Sikh in Pakistan? Unsubscribed
Great analysis by Prof. Ahmed.
Admiring Gandhi, Nehru and Patel will rile BJP followers. Though, it seems strange Patel was embraced by BJP who had banned RSS.
As for Pakistan, only economic pressure will bring military to heel and by giving aid, the military gets things it wants. The solution remains elusive for aid givers if they should or should not give any aid. If IMF etc don’t give aid, truck loads of people start fleeing Pakistan driven out of it due to poverty to seek refuge . They aim to go to mainly in Europe or in West. Strangely, none of these people want to leave Pakistan for China or some other Muslim country to settle down otherwise big Central Asian countries, Middle Eastern Saudi , North African countries like Algeria, Libya, Egypt are available but those fleeing always want to reach West, the very kuffre they curse but also love to bomb too.
Thanks for getting professor Ishtiaq… he is among the very few independent thinkers who is fact based in his analysis and views. He is an asset when it comes to India Pakistan relations. Please involve him in strat global s future discussions and analysis of critical events which impact Indo pak.
He is NOT independent.

Blunt man Ishtiaq sir. Thanks Surya sir
Interesting to know that Ishtiaq saab got to speak to Pakistani bureaucracy and reminded them how Gandhiji had helped Muslims. ( In fact he was killed because of that).
Istahaq ahmed should do some research before he makes comment on RSS , HINDU CASTE SYSTEM , and KASHMIRI PUNDITS GENOCIDES ..
Ishtiaq always deceive Hindus.pretending he likes them but actually hates us.don’t believe in his sweet talk
True that

This Ishtiaq Ahmed is a hypocrite and anything he says needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Whatever intellectual prowess he had has long expired. Body should take him seriously.
Dr Ahmad talks lot of sense which is entirely missing within pak establishment.
In my assessment, problems in pak are high level of corruption at every level and too (r) too much islam, of fanatic kind with undetermined if there is any thing called senseful islam. Pak establishment practices true islam as inscribed in the books.
Ishtiaq Ahmed clearly with anti Hindu ,BJP attitude....example UPA initiatives benefitted BJP....He never said Bangladesh economically benefited due to close economic relationship with India.
UPA inefficiency benefitted BJP .Not otherwise .
After all Ishtaq too is a madrassa lad .
Ahmed is giving credit to Upa govt for the progress done by Bjp . Typical divisive mindset.
This double standard bloke...

For giving credit to UPA for the development done by Modi .
