Why Kashmir conflict is a blessing

Many a times I’ve found myself in a discussion rather to call it a heated discussion about the Kashmir issue. It is quite fascinating to see how people give arguments about the conflicted region and pardon me to say it aloud each and every single person present gives a unique description of it. Not to mention the fact that how easily they present a solution this is viable in their sense of knowledge. Let me proclaim at this point that I am not a protagonist of suppressing freedom of speech but it’s just the fact that the ideas they present, the solution they give are such ludicrous that it’s like rubbing the lamp of Aladdin and ending all hardships in a jiffy.
I don’t call myself an expert on the matter but isn’t it quite obvious why the Kashmir issue is so much crucial for us, for the army and for the establishment. It’s just so rue some that the common man can’t see the relation here.

First take in account the strategic location of Pakistan being surrounded by India, China, Iran, Afghanistan and the Arabian Sea out of which only India can be declared as an enemy or a threat. Now why do we call India an enemy not because we fought three wars with her but due to the fact that it has control over a region that we claim as ours, Kashmir. The people that get killed there are our very own people and their pain is our own, that’s why we call India an enemy.

Now lets take an account of the army that we are having; we have 650,000 active troops and 500,000 reserve troops almost a total of 12 lakh of people currently employed by army for warfare, which of course by any standard a huge army considering a country of our size.

And the sole reason of keeping this army is the Kashmir conflict, due to which we call India a threat.

Lets say if by any miracle of God this issue is resolved then what will happen? A very simple explanation here. UN will simply say that Iran and Afghanistan are Muslim countries and your friends, China is a big ally of yours and your conflict with India is solved and you have no imminent threat from them.

THEN WHY IS PAKISTAN KEEPING SUCH A HUGE ARMY AND DEFENCE BUDGET.

So Pakistan must disband her humongous army and send them home. Now we can’t be having this situation can we but on paper the demand from UN is right in essence. As we have no need for such army then why are we keeping it, by doing so disturbing the balance of power in the region.

From the ink of a soldier a very brief account of happenings can be written and yes, Kashmir is a blessing.
