What a stark contrast, isn't it?
Pakistan is fighting for its existence and meanwhile India - its sibling born the same time - is going for its 15th general elections. What a different path they have taken 60 years on!!!
There is a good discussion on the India and Pakistan situation by some leading thinkers in the US here.
Also, there is an interesting article called "Could Pakistan Dissolve?" in the Mother Jones website.
There are reports today that the Pakistan state is fighting the Taliban in the NWFP provinces and the MQM - the main party in Karachi - is doing the same in the port city of Karachi in the south.
So maybe Pakistan has woken up to the cancer eating it alive. I hope its not too little, too late.
