Pakistan's strategic culture is fundamentally broken: Critical analysis

[Distant_Observer]

Sorry but that barely has any meaning, its hollow as I said, lacks a core to expand on

Every country has "shared values, geography" and rejects foreign hegemony. Give it a coherent national definition like for other states, China, Turkey, India for example.

By the way i might sound harsh but this is from an analytical perspective, i am pro pakistan territirial integrity, just reforming its ideology

Not wanting to identify as an Indian is not hollow considering the history of the subcontinent and how the British lumped the peoples of Indus and ganges together in an unholy and rotten mixture where 1.3 billion hinduvita genocide enthusiasts would dominate and subdue the minorities of the subcontinent.

The scenario with Turkey is different, the challenges are different. They had Europe to appease so they took a certain direction. But we can learn from them when it comes to building a peaceful and progressive society that has no space for ethno extremism or other forms of extremism.

Go to Turkey and tell them Kemalism failed lets see lol

Then why are they replacing the secular order with an Islamist one in Turkey? Seriously you are such a loser.

The Kemalist model has failed.

Why don't you suggest a Kemalist order in Saudi Arabia, and see what happens?

Who said anything about identifying as an Indian?

You do realise there are other identities beside Indian, which is my whole point

You cant build a nation on "not-Indian" cause that in itself is not an identity,

In this context incredibly powerful, its the cornerstone of the two nation theory.

Theologically and philosophically Pakistan has stronger foundations than most nation states. It's the implementation that is is the problem.

Theology and philosophy are merely secondary characteristics of a nation. Chinese have their philosophies, as do Indians, but thats no primary identity. They alone are not grounds for an independent country nor formulate an actual identity.

This beating around the bush and being unable to clearcut define what Pakistan actually is proves my point, its a confused crowd of people, largely in an identity crisis, no large vision that guides its national policies while its neighbours run laps around it with ease.
