On the foot steps of America

Even if they hadn't called it their 9/11 it would have reminded me of the event, not because of the hugeness of it but because of India's reaction to it: blaming Pakistan without any evidence so blatantly, demanding people and threatening to strike Pakistani areas. (But it will not, seriously, I don't think they have enough courage). And now I have no doubt left in my mind that India has not accepted Pakistan up till now and that they can't miss any opportunity to hurt/blame/strike Pakistan.

One of the ways to guess the culprit of an event is to see who gets the maximum benefit. Looking at the Mumbai event I think India has got the most benefits and Pakistan is in all disadvantage.

*They are getting sympathies from all over the world and this is a plus point politically.

*The Kashmir problem which was emerging in a new way and was gaining strength has been totally sidelined. Obama announced to play the role of arbitrator in the Kashmir issue and India's reaction was worth watching. They immediately sent a group to America to give briefing to Obama and his colleagues about the Kashmir issue. They have got rid of it for the time being.

*BJP has got political advantages as the elections are coming by. As was in the news that BJP distributed pamphlets saying 'If you want to get rid of terrorism then vote for BJP'

*Another advantage went to RAW. When the Samjhota Express incidence took place, India immediately blamed Pakistan for it. Later investigations showed that their own Colonel was responsible for burning down 62 Pakistanis alive and who had contacts with RAW. This Colonel was convicted and some terrorism squad was investigating the case. Luckily for the Colonel all the members of the team, including their head, were killed in Taj Hotel.

*They have got yet another reason to blame and threat Pakistan. America and India both have said that if Pakistan doesn't do something about the terrorist (as if what it is already doing is not enough) then they will attack the terrorist places inside Pakistan.

Pakistan on the other hand has all the disadvantages due to these attacks. The only benefit I see is that this incidence has showed once again that who is a friend and who is not, which the Pakistanis tend to forget very soon.
