Crying Baby

I was reading an article on India's nuclear energy needs in a British newspaper, and the article highlighted how the Indian government put everything on stake to get this deal go through as quickly as possible. There might be some vested interests as well (who knows) but interestingly, it was not this article which caught my attention, it was another tiny article next to this which made me laugh to bits. Apparently the PM of Pakistan said "There should be no preferential treatment, there should be no discrimination. And if they want to give civilian nuclear status to India, we would also expect the same for Pakistan too," I wondered isn’t Pakistan like a crying baby demanding a candy. There is no rationale behind their diplomatic moves.

I wondered how a rogue country like this can even think of such demand. I personally do not see a real economic growth in Pakistan as they don’t have one. A reflection of it would be the Pakistan Stock Exchange compared to that of India’s Sensex. A country where people go on a rampage by breaking windows, furniture, computers of stock exchange because share prices plummeting is a clear reflection of its society. If they sit and re-think their fundamental beliefs, they will probably figure out the reason behind why more Arab investments are happening in India than in Pakistan, even though Pakistan is a Muslim country.

Although there are numerous flaws in our political setup, we still have the status of being one of the biggest democracies while our neighbour should realise that it the biggest terrorist hub on this planet.

We are better because we are more adaptable and progressive. They should concentrate more on their progress rather than throwing stones in our way.

They will progress only when they stop thinking of how to brew trouble in our country.

They are more bothered about India rather than their own well being.
