Operation Ghazab Lil Haq (Pakistan - Afghanistan War)

[Distant_Observer]

As far as economic development during Ayub Khan's time is concerned, America and the West have the capability to develop any third world country ruled by their local agent. You can see examples of Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Korea, Japan, Germany, Turkey. Their policies are based on Capitalism which favours the few rich families over the masses and gave the slogan of Trickle Down Economy while in actuality it is the Trickle Up Economy to this day.

As far as India is concerned many of the sons of rich Hindu Seths were members of Congress and followed the made in India policy for many decades.

As far as Islamic Economic System is concerned, it is better than both Capitalism and Socialism and follows the middle path just like the pro-poor economic and social systems of Norway and Sweden. Under the Islamic System the poor, the sick, the elderly, the infants, the widows are all cared for by the government. Every day on Facebook, I see videos of grown Pakistan men and old men crying in front of cameras about the hard financial times they are facing in Punjab and the rest of Pakistan because of unchecked Capitalism and Corruption.

Pakistan has always been a broke country unable to fulfill its potential because half of its population are illiterate and live like bandits.



What I liked about Ayub Khan was he understood the nature of the afghans very clearly, he hated them and made sure Pakistan was ideologically and politically aligned to this.



The closest we got to this was Musharraf. He should have been allowed to complete his work.

Taliban Khan helped to push him out and then started protesting the drone strikes on the complicit people of FATA sheltering talib fighters and here we are in 2026 still going through the motions.
