Riding the Storm

To say that Pakistan is in a clutch would still be an understatement. India is raucous at our plight while the United States is all toothy on the mental calibre of an “ally,” who has been made a sucker — fighting a war that has consumed about $ 40 billion worth of its assets, thousands of people dead, and millions of people displaced since it “became our war.” The U.S. officials now say Mr. Zardari has out performed Musharraf in his services to the United States .

One may rightly blame the extraneous factors for the clutch we in but our politicians, exception allowed, have a tremendous ability to ball up the opportunity afforded to them by the democratic opening. Politics is said to be the noble art of governance, but for our politicians it is an opportunity to be parochial and petty enjoying power for the sake of power. Every day that passes gives people the feeling that the administrative setup is reeling with inefficiency and corruption. In fact, inefficiency and corruption make a perfect marriage. Most important, a sitting government that came into power through people’s mandate is unwilling to deliver despite the fact that at the end of the run it has to face the people again.

Why would a democratic government replace performance with false posturing and take transition for permanence boggles the mind, inclining one to think that either their electoral win was not real, manufactured by foreign sponsors or that if it was real, it has given them the impression of people being stupid who preferred them over the competent and honest.

In the former case, they may think they can be sponsored again by a foreign power for they have done enough to please it. While in the latter case if their presumption is correct, then rhetoric and not deliverance is enough to deceive the masses again at the polls. In both cases the nation is the loser.

Unfortunate as it may be bureaucracy, which often sustains an administrative setup and makes a state run, is equally guilty. In fact, its guilt far outweighs the politicians’ guilt. As opposed to other power operators, their job is secure outlasting politicians; their perks and privileges which they have garnered for themselves over the years are assured. Common sense says they should deliver. But when they sit smug in their posh offices shuffling papers, indifferent to people’s plight and treating them shabbily and not resolving their problems, they become unconscious partners with the forces that do not want our nation to grow. One may even say that they alienate people from the state which is by definition high treason. Likewise when media, exception allowed, is prevailed by ideologues opposed to the directive principles of the state and manipulate the national scene towards ethno-regional considerations and their larger secular agenda as opposed to the people’s moral essence and oneness, chaos takes over pushing people to uncertainty and despair with nothing to cheer the spirits. Religious values which give courage to people to live in adversity and equip them with gears to survive even against odds are under assault. The situation becomes worse when the administration fails to create jobs, effectuate growth, while the voice for distributive, social, and criminal justice is still a cry in the wilderness. The national scenario despite our faith in us seemingly becomes bleak.

In our attempt to transplant secular values over a Muslim society we forgot that societal structures do not come into being by imposing borrowed ideas. “They are not made,” as John Stuart Mill would say, “but grow … from the nature and life of that people: a product of their habits, instincts, and unconscious wants and desires, scarcely at all of their deliberate purposes.”

Why are we doing this to ourselves especially at a time when the periphery of our state is brewing with distension and mutiny? FATA and Balochistan are partly insurgent giving chance to neighbouring predators to fish in troubled waters. Ungluing the national elements strewn together by Islam is a staggering thought.

The mountainous ranges of FATA and its wilderness can be viewed in geo-strategic terms as the periphery of our state torn by conflict. This may lull us into sleep or throw us into a smug posturing, inclining us to a false belief that it is a distant happening, which will not have its spread to the centre.

True, a periphery is not a substitute for the centre, still it remains vital to a state’s security for it is an extension of the centre and thus any turbulence in the periphery, if not subdued, can gradually eat up the vitality of the state. That is why statecraft calls for firepower, art of governance, and diplomacy. Short of any such combination, the state loses rhythm and falls prey to chaos created by its own inefficiency and power-play of the neighbouring predators.

Writing on the rise and fall of the nations, Ibn Khaldun, the founder of modern sociology, made an astute observation:

When the state becomes senile and weak, it begins to crumble at its extremities. The centre remains intact until God permits the destruction of the whole state. Then the centre is destroyed. But when a state is overrun from the centre, it is of no avail to it that the outlying areas remain intact. It dissolves all at once. Were the heart to be overrun and captured all the extremities would be routed.

India and its strategic partners have realized the spill over effect of the unimaginative policies of our successive secular governments. They also know it well that the gap between the constitutional proclamation for an Islamic state and the practices of the power apparatus in Pakistan has created rage as well as disenchantment in the masses, which can be utilized to their benefit. Let them fight between themselves and bleed seems to be the Indian policy. The Indians are convinced that the Kashmir eruption can cool down if Pakistan ’s armed forces are made to bog down in Waziristan and Balochistan. Added to this, Indians would like to prolong the United States stay in Afghanistan and thus keep Pakistan embroiled in its turbulent domestic situation. Manmohan Singh’s November 6, 2009 appeal to the U.S. not to consider withdrawal from Afghanistan gives support to such an evaluation.

In this scenario our power operators should not forget that India has forged a strategic alliance with the United States, which among others calls for joint plans against what the two conveniently call “the cauldron of terrorism in Pakistan,” “the jihadi-military axis,” and “Islamic fundamentalism.” Playing on this plank of the strategic alliance, India is continuously projecting Pakistan as “the centre of international jihadi terrorism,” which they urge must be dismantled. Together with the rising crescendo of Pakistan ’s nuclear programme being unsafe. For obvious reasons the latter appeals to the U.S.

No matter how insistent is the Indian denial of its involvement in Balochistan and Waziristan, we must not forget what India did in East Pakistan . Indians do not hide it; rather, they boast of sundering East Pakistan from West Pakistan . Major General Sukhwant Singh, deputy director of military operations in 1971, not only reveals the Indian mindset but also the way they humiliated Pakistan . According to him, the Indians applied the German Liddell Hart’s concept of “the expanding torrent.”

This concept implied that the Pakistani army should be drawn out to the borders by keeping the border volatile through unending skirmishes “under cover of Mukti Bahini,” and thus thinning out the Pak army at “the cost of the interior.” Second, India should secure the key communication sectors in the centre to “disrupt the enemy’s command and control.” Third, scatter Pak forces in “penny pockets” to facilitate their “easy to mop up.”

Singh’s book the liberation of Bangladesh explains how India used military force to achieve its political objectives. Balochistan and FATA actions are a repeat of their success in Bangladesh . Similar tensions can be sparked in Sindh and elsewhere.

With odds like these, the power wielders in Pakistan must improve governance. By that I mean synchronize human and material resources for growth; give citizens a sense of belonging by prompt official responses to their needs. Two, wipe out corruption fast. British prime minister Harold Brown’s scathing warning to Hamid Karazi to end corruption or he would not let his soldiers die in Afghanistan is an indicator that the world takes a low view of corruption. A similar message can come to the PPP’s government from Zardari’s Friends of Pakistan forum. Kerry-Lugar bill has already shown the U.S. inclination to micro manage the civil spending. Three, avoid undermining Islam by grafting secular values on the social scene. Four, employ military force where necessary but use negotiation channels to defuse conflict and thus deescalate armed action. Five, move fast on the Baluch scene. Declare the Baluch package now rather than wait for the constitutional package. The constitutional amendment can come later.

Kuldeen Nayar - A true Anti Pakistnan Banya

Reading Kuldeep Nayar's today's article and all previous ones, one can easy smell what he wants to propogate. Very clearly he wants to see Pakistan either accept happily what India wants to do; this includes division of the country further. To him Kashmir is not an issue. He wants to see Wahga Border disappear. India's relationships with muslim's enemies and sharing intellegence is its right. He is elegic from Pak Army. And so on...

Kuldeep is a slow poisoning tablet. Must not be given projection in Lahore Real Estate, at least.

Problem is with the majority of Pakistanis that they are not brought up in a democratic culture , they dont like criticizm and on difference of opinion they declare their opponents Indian agent or Cia agent etc. Pervaiz Hood Bhai and Asma Jahangir are intellectuals please listen them and dont give your stupid comments.

Amjad has a valid point. Every one that has a different point of view is not necessarily a Raw, CIA and Mossad agent. Let's learn a bit of tolerance.

update of prices. at times we also forgot that we had a plot some where. By the turn of the century after 20 years property dealers started calling and offered big money, bigger than what I could imagine, one even even contacted me in a foreign country paying $10 per minute.

Dear CMY Sahib,

Its interesting to see the 'increasing' in loss of DHA Valley Islambad plot after 4 paid it is at loss of 75000, after 5 paid it will be 1 lac and after payment of all installments it could be at loss of 880,000 (equal to the cost paid, untill end).
what is your advice what to do? we poor people hope to pay our life savings to have something for our future generation, kids. but, it seems that we are throughing our hard earn / saving to a deep well (rather anday kuwany main) comments.

Last year I invested in DHA commercial avenue. It is also like DHA Valley. In my opinion, Malik Riaz of Bahria town lost his credibility in spite of his excellent town planning and development. I think, DHAI also lost credibility due to Bahria Town. I feel that our reservations and fears are not based on sound logic.
I don't see any faraud, the development will be World class and prices are related to supply and demand. In Rawalpindi a major development has been undertaken by Bahria Town and a number of other developers. There are more plots in the market than the buyers. I will wait for my commercial plot and one day it will deliver.

Dear CMY & All,

When is the expected DHA-8/ Park view ballot? Should I sell my holdings in Parkview files and if I do so what should I opt for if at all.

*CMY I know you are very busy but a reply will be highly appreciated

DHA Lahore Phase 8 Ballot replied on Saturday, November 14, 2009 03:10 AM PST 

I will wait for DHA to announce the ballot of DHA 8 within few weeks time. Park view
files are very likely not to be part of this upcoming ballot.

Please don't ask me for reason here. Price action of Park view is big enough indicator for all of us.

CMY replied on Saturday, November 14, 2009 03:20 AM PST 

Today I did see few teams of
DHA Lahore staff in DHA phase 8 doing surveys of lands that are normally done just before the start of development work. When I asked them when the ball is going to be rolled they said within 120 days.

One more important thing DHA phase 7 P block park is going to be moved from current locations. If you have a plot in lower part of P block chances are good it will be moved to area now marked as park. Its suggested that you buy cheapest plot in lower area and may get much better plot in upper area of P block. Park is LIKELY to be moved to lower part of water tank.

Please keep in mind I have beed telling you for long time DHA 7 map will be revised soon. And now I believe new map will be available within next 90 to 120 days.

contact if u dont want to give ur contact here please mail me at i will be very very thankfull to u .

replied on Saturday, November 14, 2009 09:28 AM PST 

DHA ( all three) have to continiously develop new phases to accomodate Army officers according to their revised authorization at different milestones of the length of their service. There are about 20000 Army officers and according to (Revised) authorization evry year a sizeable mumber of officers (about 800 to 1000) are eligible for a plot at the completion of 15 years service.In addition more plots are also needed for officers who reach higher service brackets. I don't know exact statistics but my fair guess is about 1500 new plots every year. Three years back Lahore DHA started development of Phase 7, it should start development of Phase 8 in the next six months time to clear the backlog. It can only start develoment if it has a town plan and has also done allotment to receive development funds from its members.
