Is it truly incorrect to claim that the East India Company transformed into the West Pakistan Company?
The initial intention of the East India Company was to extract the resources of the Indo-Pak subcontinent, which was then referred to as "India, the Golden Bird." After gaining control of these resources, the British Empire employed brutal force to maintain its authority and regime. Incidents like the Kanpur Massacre (1857), the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre (1919), and the Moplah Rebellion (1921) still resonate today.
Today, again we witness a multi-billion-dollar business empire operating as a state above the state, plundering the entire nation and its resources, which pushed the populace into poverty and lawlessness. They retained their power through brutal assaults and the killing of unarmed civilians.
The cycle of brutality which began on May 9, 2023, when innocent civilians were targeted by gunfire, a pattern that escalated during the D-Chowk Massacre on November 26, 2024, where even the dead bodies were desecrated. The public viewed these events with indifference as they primarily affected the PTI. However, a similar fate befell the TLP in October 2025 in Muridke, where snipers were used to kill their supporters.
This cycle of violence has now reached AJK in July 2026, where Kashmiri citizens were targeted and killed. “Bari Bari Sub Ki Bari.” A troubling reality. While the nation bleeds, many in power remain indifferent, enjoying their positions regardless of the suffering around them. Today, the truth has become a liability, while brutality has become the new currency of power and pride.
