The benefit of doubt and soft corner you have for Taliban must have been for India, too. That is called fair play if you really believe in Taliban's enmity. Lets try to see the other side of coin.
- If you need to assert "hundreds of thousands muslims killed" before 1947, it won't be Hindus to blame because "hundreds of thousands were killed at the hands of Mongols, Affghan invaders and Nadir Shah and ironically the killers included invader of muslim origin except Mongols, no Hindu ruler outside subcontinent was attacker. Moreover, these invaders killed Hindus and Muslims regardless of faith.
-Millions killed in post partition riots were from both sides. We received trains from India loaded with muslims killed but we, too did send trains with Hindu and Sikh victims. Flames of hatred were mutual and range of destruction was proportionate to power and resources, no side lacked intent of revenge. In such fluid situation, numbers become meaningless, character shine and unfortunately both sides have a lot to feel shame for.
-Hyderabad Deccan, like an island within huge sea of Hindustan was doomed to surrender as we better understand it now given the practical difficulties in keeping East Pakistan with us. Indian police action into Hyderabad took place after Indians found an order placed by Nizam to buy 100,000 rifles urgently from abroad. Indians forgot about negotiations and rushed to take over peacefully.
-Kashmir issue was resolved by Indira Gandhi and Bhutto in Shimla. Pakistan's strategy had proved futile before that and I believe couldn't be better than the understanding in Shimla.
- Indians need water for their huge population. Whatever dams they built, information was available to Pakistan to lodge any complaint or legal action but Pakistan did not. It clears Indian position. India has stopped work on one dam these days after Pakistan's objections and wait for solution of issue.
-Indians must have been idiots not to exploit situation in East Pakistan. Didn't we exploit situation in Afghanistan for decades and haven't we been at war with India until recently ? States do not follow ethics but national interest.
- Dealing with insurgency within its international borders is a state's own matter. Kashmiris living inside IOK technically fall within Indian domain and Pakistan can not act forcefully but just to have moral advantage. If we feel sorry for the loss of life being muslim brothren, same we do for Palestinians and Chechins, too. Keep feelings of enmity fresh if you are waiting for a counter strike. But if you are looking for peace and tranquility, you will need to switch off flow of hatred.
_ Proxy war too is a mutual issue. Such projects and details are never declassified by states but we know that it is reciprocal.
Having brief account of Indian case, one can better compare with Talibaan face to make decision of his own. In Hindu-Muslim equation we have ugly past involved and in Taliban-Pakistan case we have a possible ugly future involved. Past can not be repaired now but we can at least try to save our future by eliminating Taliban menace.
Let me clear here that I do not work for SAFMA but being a common Pakistani, I do watch what other countries- enemies in the past- are doing to move forward. I love my country to progress and in my view the first step is to leave the past behind and be practical.
