Apparently, India which had succeeded in improving its image in the world as a somewhat sensible country seems to need a few classes on patience and ‘Think before you speak’. Their leaders speaking so obsessively and indecisively seem to be one of those restless people who themselves need leaders to guide them. And we always thought our leaders were the worst.

Though Pakistan has its own set of a variety of problems from inflation in food prices to rising local security concerns, yet we are lucky to have a force that is the seventh largest in the world and has proven itself time and again. Since they are driven by even higher motivation factors than just patriotism; martyrdom is considered a reward by them which makes them much more determined and stronger than other forces in the world. And the best part is that the whole nation stands behind them in support.
This was just to remind ourselves of the current scenario and the country’s capability. My reason for writing this article is an attempt to provide some sense, if it can; to the Indian think tanks, if there are any.

Though Pakistan’s armed forces are accepted by the world as technically equipped better than the Indian armed forces, for example the 4000 km range of Pakistan’s missiles are more than double the range of India’s 1500 km. The point I want to expose here is a more natural one or should I say a Divine one.

The direction of wind that flows over the Indian sub-continent is from the Arabian Sea towards India in a westerly direction. This means that the Pakistani forces have a critical advantage. Whether it’s the ease in movement for the Pakistani troops or any dust storm that blows towards the Indian troops or the help the Pakistan Air Force will get. And what we, the Pakistanis should feel less worried than the Indians for is that if God forbid there is a nuclear attack, the after effects that last for decades will all flow towards the whole of India and beyond.

So let us be thankful to Allah and trust in our forces and pray for them. For if India ever takes the first step towards war; it might be the worst and most regretted in the Indian history.

Long live Pakistan!
