I am not sure if the writer of this article is the same Mr. Haqqani who once was Pakistani Ambassador in the USA under PPP's regime.  If so, needless to say, his article is very balanced and full of facts.  He worked in the inner circle of then Pakistani government.  As he stated in his article, Pakistan's continued support for the non-state militant actors, convoluted text books to misguide the Pakistani subjects, continuous discussion and argument about a baseless issue of Kashmir knowing fully well that Kashmir does not belong to Pakistan, are irritants in the eyes of Indian leaders.  Pakistan should go back and read the history started in 1947 when the then prince Hari Singh agreed to make Kashmir part of India because India saved his territory from an unexpected attack by Pakistan on Kashmir. However, the fact remains, and Mr. Haqqani will agree with me, that so long as the nexus of Pakistani military/ISI is overpowering the democratically elected government in Islamabad, one ought not to expect any wonders towards ameliorating relationship between India and Pakistan.  Pakistani establishment like many other Muslim countries does not want its people to be educated, well nourished and well established because these basic ingredients of any human bring awareness of self respect, individual rights and sense of liberty.  These basic human instincts are not acceptable to the Muslim leaders - one can say, that is the history of Muslim leaders,kings and land lords.  Pakistan is spending 70% of its budget to maintain military might and towards making nuclear bombs.  Per current press reports, Pakistan will have over 350 nuclear bombs in another 15 years.  Do they really need that many bombs to crush India?  One should not forget that USA threw only two bombs on Japan in WWII, and Japan surrendered.  Also, those bombs were not even near to the destructive power as compared to the modern bombs.  So, why so many bombs?  Pakistan can earmark the same financial resources towards improving educational system, infrastructure, health facilities, manufacturing and food production etc.  This will bring prosperity, good health to its citizens and well educated Pakistani can flourish overseas also.  It is going to be a win win situation.  However, in order to achieve this, the ideology of the nexus of Pakistani military/ISI and the basic philosophy of the civilian government need to be changed.  Do the leaders of different establishments in Pakistan have the desire to think about the nation first?
