    I am 73, a Pakistani American for over 53 years always maintained that the British defeated Congress, particularly Gandhi in keeping greater India and its people together. Unfortunately, the real losers ended up being the people who trusted Muslim League and Islamic parties. Pakistani have been in a real hostages by its worst than British Raj ruling elite; Pakistan Army practically playing the role of, Ghaznavi, Ghori, Abdali , Nader Shahi armies. The strategic location of Pakistan is actually a curse for the people because the foreign powers exploit the corrupt army and Pakistanis always loose.

      Sir, the creation of Pakistan is a blessing in disguise for the Indian state because it separated the Islamic state as an identity from the general Indian secular population, freeing the new Indian state from decades of confused identity and infighting, notwithstanding the current political climate of India.

    The reason why the Pakistani Army is both formidable yet pathetic at the same time.
    In terms of success in war, the Pakistan Military has never won a single war. Pakistan has also used its army like a mercenary for other nations.
    However, the Pakistani army has been very successful in subduing it's own citizens and convincing it's own citizens to not raise their voices against the Pakistan army.
    In short,
    The Pakistan 🇵🇰 army has never won a war against another nation...
    The Pakistan 🇵🇰 army has never lost a single election against its own people.

      When the maharaja got wind of this, he requested Indias help. India refused to deploy troops since JK wasn’t part of India by then. At that point the maharaja signed the instrument of accession. India airdropped troops into Srinagar after that. The rest is history.

    Pakistan army has not been really tested in battlefield. In East Pakistan it knew it was pointless putting up a fight.
    It rules the Punjabi Mussalman’s heart because of demography. Punjab’s population is 60-65% of the country and Punjabi Mussalman representation in the army is 65-70%. Both really overwhelming statistics. So, when the Punjabi Mussalman army takes a decision, it knows that the most populous community is with it. Other states do not count. A Punjabi Mussalman knows in his heart that the army is the only outfit that can ensure the safety and integrity of Pakistan.
    Hence, its repeated interventions in domestic politics and external affairs with no one to challenge it.

    Shekhar Ji, you raise a good question about the Pakistan Army, which may serve academic interests but certainly not Indian National Interest!
    Why would it not be in our National Interest to limit the outlook on Pakistan to the extent of security only and ignore otherwise?

    V.S. Naipaul put it well. Future is contained in the present if under scrutiny by someone without political biases and wishful thinking. Another relevant writer is William Faulkner. “Past is never dead. It’s not even past.” In his book “Among the Believers”, the crime scene is set in Sind in 712 A.D. Yes: “The Killing History.” A scene slipped away from the headless.
