It is very interesting to note that the authorities in Pakistan are showing some interest to educate their children including females.  But it is very unfortunate to note that it took almost a life of Malala for the Pakistan government to realize the importance of education for the females.  However,one has to keep an eye on the type and quality of education provided under a Waseela-e-Taleem in Pakistan.  

Pakistan is not the only country where no importance or thought is attached to the females' education.  There are so many other Muslim countries where there is absolutely no government provision to educate them.  How come the world is sleeping on the fate of those females.  Is educating them not equally important?  Why is there a discrimination on this issue?  I think it is disgusting and shame on the part of civilized community to ignore the fate of rest of the uneducated females in the Muslim world.  EDUCATING FEMALES IS A DRIVING FORCE TO STRENGTHEN THE NATIONS' ECONOMIC POWER.

The veil comment of Gen. Keyani towards the judiciary shows that the Pakistani civilian rule may have a short life.  The military outfit in Pakistan has been under a tremendous pressure since the time Osama Bin Laden has been killed.  The whole world is judging the military establishment in Pakistan as an incompetent organization and/or an organization with whose connivance Mr. OBL was able to live near the military neighborhood for years.  One can infer that Mr. Keyani's harsh attitude towards the judiciary is a sign of frustration to cover the failing of his military outfit.  As the elections in Pakistan are going to take place soon, one can also conclude that the military establishment does not want the civilian government to take place again, and by showing an aggressive attitude towards the judiciary, Mr. Keyani is paving the way to sit on the throne of Islamabad.  Mr. Keyani as well as the whole world knows that the civilian government in Islamabad is a puppet government playing on the tune of military establishment anyway.  Therefore, this writer's assessment may not be out of line if a dictatorship prevails in Pakistan in the near future.  IS PAKISTAN READY FOR REPEAT OF DICTATORSHIP WHICH MEANS NO FREEDOM OF SPEECH, MAY BE EXPANSION OF JIHADI ELEMENTS AND MISERABLE LIFE OF THE MINORITIES IN PAKISTAN?

An introduction of J-31 fighter in the Chinese arsenal is another indication that China is on the move to flex its muscles which ought to be taken very seriously by its neighboring countries in the East China and South China sea.  If one looks at the competitive nature of air force and military strength of the neighboring countries, one can infer that China does not need the stealth fighters to defeat those small countries.  Hence, China is gearing up to face the security forces of Japan and India - the two major competitive forces in the region.  Therefore, the development of these stealth fighters ought to be of serious concern to both India and Japan.  As we know, China has an insatiable territorial expansion desire to establish its hegemonic status in that part of the world, and there is an urgent need to counter balance that power vacuum.  Of course, China wants to settle the score with Japan on the disputed Islands issue along with establishing its territorial rights on the natural oil and gas resources in that part of the sea.  In addition, China sees India a major hurdle in its way to becoming a super power in that region.  It is true that India has lot of joint defense ventures going on with the technical know-how of Russia, but in the event of a major military escalation between China and India, one is not sure which way the Russian government will show its tilt.  Although it is not fair to presume anything conclusively predicated on hypothesis, but India ought to have a 'Plan B' in case Russia does not support India with full military might against China.  Since the USA is also interested in counter-balancing the power vacuum in that part of the world, it is an opportune time to join hands with the USA and Japan to thwart any major threat from China.  INDIA NEEDS TO BE PROACTIVE AND WATCHFUL OF ALL THE MILITARY MOVES OF CHINA.    

All efforts to ameliorate bilateral relationship between India and Pakistan are worthy to be admired.  As the past experience guides us, India has done its part already in this matter; for example, starting the Samjauta train, bus service, making easier the visa process to  visit India etc.  However, India ought to be very careful in accepting the suggestion of a Pakistani leader to have a common currency.  As we all know, the Pakistani leaders in Islamabad has no say in these matters.  It is the Jihadis who control the governmental machinery in Pakistan.  Since the election is going to take place in Pakistan next year, these leaders are just making political gestures and statements to appease the public in Pakistan.  Jihadis in Pakistan are hell bent to destroy India and its economy.  Therefore, unless Pakistani government can eradicate that segment of its society, it is a futile exercise to expect any fruitful results from any type of dialogues between New Delhi and Islamabad.  India and Pakistan have been exchanging dialogues since 1947 without any positive outcome.  Hence, this writer is fully convinced and agrees with those leaders in India who do not like to waste time, energy and resources on these summit and diplomatic meetings.  INDIA NEED NOT TO CAVE IN AND GET TRAPPED IN THESE TYPE OF FICTITIOUS BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT SUGGESTIONS.

Mr. Geelani is acting like he is the Chief Minister of the State of J & K., or at least he thinks that he is running a parallel government in the same State.  People like him believing in the separation rather rather than repairing the gaps in the understanding of people of the region need a severe blow to their selfish motive which is to gain political power by inciting people and representing the interest of the foes across the border.  Everybody understands the freedom of speech accorded under the democratic system, but when the tenets of very democracy are exploited to serve one's own selfish motive at the cost of national security, those voices ought to be controlled at the outset.  A very crystal clear sermon needs to be imparted to the so-called puppets of Pakistan residing in India to the effect that no anti-India behavior will be tolerated in the country.  Those who are Indian citizens living in India, they are Indians first; then they are Muslims, Sikhs and Tamils etc.   Mr. Geelani is voicing his opinion against the construction of a road to the Hindu religious shrine not because he is a lover of green environment, rather  he is evincing his anti-Hindu sentiments. This project is a good thought out project because it will eventually facilitate the journey of thousands of pilgrims visiting Lord Amarnath every year.  Mr. Geelani is threatening to demonstrate against this project which I believe is his right under the Indian constitution so long as it is a peaceful march.  The moment he starts inciting his rented people, there is a need at that time to arrest him and let him face the legal music.  Indian government has to become very clear and strong in taking harsh action against these type of traitors and puppets of foreign governments.  IT IS ABOUT TIME THAT INDIA SETS ASIDE THE IMAGE OF BEING A NOBEL AND PEACE LOVING COUNTRY AS FAR AS DEALING WITH THESE TYPE UNGRATEFUL AND FOREIGN AGENTS ARE CONCERNED.

It is true that India has a problem with the people across the border as far as violation of cease fire is concerned.  But I think that India's biggest problem resides inside India.  People like Geelani - I call them traitors - are the proponents of Kashmir issue.  It works in their favor by internationalizing this issue. Mr. Geelani is a pawn of Pakistan.  He eats in India, enjoy all luxuries provided by India to him, but he is so shameful that instead of safeguarding India's position, he is always singing pro-Pakistan slogans.  I am not that knowledgeable about the details of an Indian constitution.  But it is a shame to allow this type of free anti-India sentiments to flourish.  By not taking any corrective action by the Indian government, especially the local government, against this type of freedom is just like showing an acceptance of this behavior which in the long run will be proven to be very detrimental for the security of the country.  Yes, as the Chief Minister said, India has guns, cannons and other armaments, but you can use them only if there is an attack emanating from outside of India.  But how would one control the misguided ideology flourishing in India with these guns.  What Mr. Geelani's activities and behavior are doing is making the way more easier for the fanatics in Kashmir to turn against India.  IT IS ABOUT TIME THAT INDIA BECOMES PROACTIVE AND VIGILANT ABOUT THE ACTIVITIES AND SENTIMENTS EVINCED BY MR. GEELANI AND OTHERS BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.

'It is an utter shameful act perpetrated by the Talibans. They are branding 14 years old girl as 'spy of the West'. How ignorant and brainwashed one can be. Thanks God, Talibans are not holding any official position in the Pakistani government yet. Just imagine what they are capable of doing if they sit on the thrown of Islamabad. They would not hesitate for a second to push the nuclear button against all non-Muslims. It is equally shameful on the part of leaders of Pakistan not to raise their voice against this heinous act. Just for the sake of formality, they have arrested couple of people to appease the junta. But this acquiescence on the part of Pakistani leaders is going to be proven very harmful for the nation as a whole. The only fault that little girl had to propagate the availability of education to the children, including females. This little girl, and I rather call her a pioneer, had lot of dreams for her sisters in the nation and wanted to become a doctor, politician or what not. But the brainwashed community could not just digest it and tried to ruin or kill her dreams. Luckily, the girl survived and one can only hope that her dreams are fulfilled. But as far as Pakistan is concerned, the country is doomed to fail in the hands of these misguided fanatics. IT IS ABOUT TIME THAT THE CIVILIZED NATIONS OF THE WORLD REALIZE THIS DANGER WHICH CAN SPREAD TO OTHER MUSLIM NATIONS FASTER IF NO REMEDIAL ACTION IS TAKEN.''
